PENTICTON. -/"Freight business
on the Kettle Valley branch of the
Canadian Pacific railway has beon"
good lately," said C. A. Cotteroll,

on his inspection tour.
IShipmeents of metal and Fertilizer from Trail smelters have aided
mater.ally ln keeping the train crews
In action," according to the visitor.
"If it was not for the freight at the
present time, the railways would be
doing very Uttle business," he stated,
indicating  that  passenger  traffic  ls
quite slack.
On being asked as to the prospects
of business on the Oliver branch
line this summer, Mr. Cotterell replied that the officials are hoping
that there will be some business.
Last year Jack Frost gave the railway a "bang on the nose" In Uie
south, but this season If the Oliver
crop Is a bumper one, Mr. Cotterell
Is hoping that the branch line will
do a good business. e
"There ls no prospect at present of
any cliage in the t metable to elimi-
Inate the overnight stop at Nelson,

VANCOUVER  NEXT SUMMER
VjBJRiNONi — Independent shippers
who are not getting what they consider "a break" in the Water street
deal in Vancouver, are considering
opening a wholesale house there so
as to crash ln.
Following the meeting of the Shippers' Council in Kelowna, on Wednesday, a group of shippers outside
the Sales Service and Associated
groups d.Scussed the situation. They
declare that there Is one buyer for
the pool in Water street and thoy
can't get an order With a sniali
house operating entirely on its own
and handling nothing but British
Columb.a products they believe they
can get into a market which is now
closed. Three or four of the larger
shippers are considering the proposition and there will be some developments before long.

Summary of
Fruit Market
A Political
Rumor That
May Happen
VICIOHUA.-Hon. W. A. 'McKensie,
minister of mines and labor, is birt-
ing with a Victoria nomination for
the nextproviiiclal election. Mr. Mc-
.venule represents Similkameen and
has done so since his election to succeed the lute Senator W. T. Sbatfonl
in 1918.
Similkameen lias long been regarded as one of th,, safest Conservative
scats In the province. But It is no
longer safe ror Mr. McKensie. Patronage troubles have created a svllt between the Conservatives of eimllka-
moeii and Mr. McKenzie. It ls openly
stated that he could not get his own
rty's nomination.
-Mi), .McKeuitse has made, himself
the champion of no reduction In the
' ;gislature, whicb it lB calculated
may make him popular In Victoria,
t whose representation of four tbe
econom-'zers  are shooting heavily.
So far none of the present Victoria
members has intimated any intention
if relrlng, but Ii would occasion llt-
le surprise If .1. II, Beatty decided
to withdraw at the next election.
Mr. .MoKenzie's candidature in Victoria would give the lower end of
ancouver island strong representa-
lon in the cabinet Of the seven
lower   Island   seats   three are now
•presented by ministers .and two of
(lie other members houl official posts
Mr. McKenzie would make one more.
The present Jine-up Is: Victoria
City,   Hon.  Joshua   llinchliffc,   minis-
ir of education; H. D. Twigg, deputy speaker; Saanich, 'Hon. S. F. Tolmie, premier; Esquimau, Hon. R. If.
Pooley, attorney general; Cowlchan-
.^eWcastle, lion. C. F. Uavle, speaker. R. 'H. -Hayward and J. H. Beatty
non-office holding members from Victoria, are the only two^privutes and
one of them would be replaced by
the minister of mines if Mr. McKou-
zie's  scheme were  to go through.
VICTORIA, Feb. 5.—Cables from
tbe markets representative in London shdicate that apple prices are
holding steady, Winesaps are selling
from $2.85 to $,'1.30 a box; Jonathans
fi to $3.n0; Newtowns 3.35 to $3.80
llhese are private treaty prices. Auc-
lios of American apples show them
aelllng at one or two shillings a box
lower. ,
The cheapness of eggs Is reflected
on the Britsh emaerket, where
prices run from 111 cents a dozen for
the cheapest Polish to .18 cents for
the best Dutch. Those prices are for
eggs selling wholesale in 10-dozen
lots. Iu Seattle tbe cheapness of eggs
is blamed on unprecedented warm
weather, the prices being the lowest
In 38 years.
Cal.fornia shipped 1887 crates of
lettuce, 1158 cratesof crates of cauliflower, 643 crates of celery, und 385
crates ot spinach Into Vancouver and
Victoc.ria last week. Parsley, green
peas and sweet potatoes were also
offer -. I  in  good suppi.v.
Mcintosh Reds have reappeareu In
the coaBt cities and are selling at
$2.35 a box wholesalefor fancy
grade. Wagners are quoted at $2 a
box and Rome Beauty in bulk at I'^o
per pound. Local Spies of good quality are selling at $1.40 to $1.50 a box.
In Victoria, California celery ls
quoted at $12 per case or $2.50 per
dozen heads. There are still a few
hothouse tomatoes on the market,
quoted at $4.75 a crate. Mexicans repacked are selling at $6 a lug. Rhubarb Is qouted at »c per pound.
Considerable activity prevailed In
the cattle market iaBt week. Values
held more or less steady with a
range in prices from 5.75 to 6.25 for
choice steers. The hog markeL was
slugglsb with prices closing from Vi
to 14c lower. No change lu lambs.
CANNiED   LOGANBERRIES
Reports received by \V. W. Duncan, markets director, shows that
British Columbia has made a good
beginning in capturing tlio British
market for British Columbia canned
loganberries. Starting only Inst September, 8525 cases have been sold.
Ilho United States, which hold the
market previously, last year slid 94,-
000 cases there. In other words, between Scptembor and the end of the
year there was a market for 112,000
cases In Oreat Britain. With the preference for empire goods now being
shown in tho old- country there
soiius to be no good reason why In
future British Columbia should not
secure the lion's share of th.s trade,
and thus obtain an assured sale for
all the surplus loganberries.

w;il'jign'ess to go when requested,
Mr. Shepherd reported, but when the
day of departure arrived not a single
man put In an appearance. He said
the provincial government had taken
the stand that .f a man refused to go
a camp, It would not assume responsible for his support, and he would
be cut off relief.
Aid. H. E. c Anderson said be did

rpllE grea   medieval abbey of Buckfast, which has Iain
■*■ in rums  fur four centuries, soon will stand fully restored us u monument  to the labors of a little/ group of
ss-uunictino monks. For more than twenty-six years, work-
ing .n rein,-s of s.x, the monks, who live neary in the beautiful ueioiissiiirt valiey, have been rearing the vast mon-
issiu'y from itn original foundations, laid in the, eighth
century. Virtually uiia.ded, they have rebuilt It in all Its
formur detail, und next August it is to be consecrated.

ii.n e. only the crumbling central tower and the foundation rema.ncd when in 1005 the monks decided to restore
it. Although none    o f them had any knowledge of construct-on  work,  Iney   were determined  to do their work
wituout outside ht-ip. "There was but one  brother who

suiscar, tne smiling gray-haired abbot. '.But we had a firm
ueutu  In Prov .deuce aud great determination. A young
urotner was appointed to mix mortar   for the   solitary
s/uiiuer, am: one uy oue other brothers were assigned to
Woks.'   At no lime, however, have more than six monks
usieu available. Since no appeal has ever been made for
minis and no money  ever paid for wages It has neces-
sur.iy taken a Ion;; time to build the monastery. As time
went  on  the  moults,   work.ng  with  white  aprons  over
ibeir ropes,  became expert masons,  carpenters and decorators. They decided to install an electric lighting system, so one brother studied books on electrical engineer-

eiiupment.

ills mother, although 85 years of age, has regained her
usual health.
The condition is most common
among those Individuals who have an
oily skin. However, as we stated previously, the skin is affected by the
condition of other parts of the body.
So It Is that the occurrence of blackheads and p.mples Is favored by digestive turbances, improper diet, constipation and lack of fresh air, exercise and sleep.
In general we may say that an unhygienic life may be rekected in
these skin conditions, and that where
attention is given to the simple rules
of healthy living, they are far less
likely to occur. ,
When blackheads and pimples do
occur, attention is given to the general hab.ts of the patient's life rather than to the skin. The diet must be
considered. Any insufficiency of
green vegetables and of fruits is corrected, and any excessive use of potatoes, pastry and sugar ls cut down.
The free use of water for drinking
Is encouraged.
Sufficient sleep, outdoor exercise,
fresh air and sunshine are all required if the body—and this includes
the skin—is to be healthy.
Cleanliness of the skin is necessary if tbe skin ig to be healthy. The
face is to be washed regularly with
a nun-irritating soap and water. The
idea that soap and water are harmful to the complexion, and that the
face should be cleansed with creams
only, is all wrong. Frease mechanically plug up the pores, thug helping
blackheads to form; what is needed
is washing to cleun the skin.
A good complexion comes from
within and is an expression of personal health. It cannot be bought and
applied on the outside.

What the Rural Weekly
Press of B. G. Can
Offer
THERE are fifty-five regular weekly newspapers ln British Columbia. They are published in a widely scattered
field In communities with populations of from 300 to 400 to
one of 10,000. Sixteen are published in communities of leas
than 1000 population; fifteen in communities of 1000 to 2000
population; seven In communities of 4000 to 5000; four in
communities over 5000 to 10,000. Then weeklies appeal to
145,000 of British Columbia's population. The news in these
newspapers Is mostly all local, because tbat is what interests the readers, and the advertisements for the most part
tell what local merchants are doing. The country editor
knows the people he serves; they are farmers, lumbermen, miners, fishermen, prospectors, laborers, all. It is estimated that the average farm family spends $2000 every
year for things which are not necessary to raise crops. Tht
total sum that is spent by farmers ln the United States for
those things with which to live well la the appaling stun of
thirteen billion dollars. Seventy-two per cent, of all automobiles sold go to people living ln towns and comunitles of
less than 5001) population. Using the same proportionate
figures to estimate the buying power of the rural population of British Columbia served by the weekly newspapers
of the province, and we have something like 10,000 automobiles purchased by residents of the province ln towns and
communities of less than 5000 population, and $6,000,000
spent every year by these rural families for things which
are not necessary to raise cops. If one is inclined to think
that only a few people, and an insignificant few at that,
live in country communities served by the weekly newspapers let him study these, figures or consult the last census statistics.

•"•ince the commencement of the

Canadian Pacific Railway has
upent a matter of eleven to twelve
million dollars in providing work
for unemployed Canadians. When
it was apparent in the late summer
of 1930, that certain areas of
southern Saskatchewan were to
suffer from almost complete crop
failure, the Company took upon
itself to assist the people in that
territory by beginning the construction of a branch line between
Vanguard
and May-
ronne. This

cost of these works were estimated
at $11,511,000 and, according to
agreement with the Government
are to be completed at the end ef
the current year. It is true th«f
the Dominion agreed lo pay interest for a limited period or! this
capital cost, but after receipt of
tiiis interest, tlie Canadian Paciflr
will still have expended over
$10,fi00,000 from its own Treasury
in order to'improve the situation
in tha country generally. This expenditure has been made at a time
when the Company's revenues ar*
sufTering severely as a result ol
business depression. This programme of work, undertaken in
order to cooperate with thc
Government, had given 361,000
days work to individuals otherwise
unemployed u p to August 31 st last,
and at September 14th it was estimated that approximately 100,-

completed.
Although tbe Company has succeeded in making substantial reductions in operating costs, it has
hesitated to pursue its policy of
economy to tbe limit out of regard
for tho serious obligation which
rests upon all corporations to giv»
as much employment as possible.
While protecting the Interest of
shareholders ni. i.:r n« is consistent
with its duty to tl i- country, the
Canadian Pacific lias been conservative in its application of
measures which would increase ths

■■  '
BETTER business this year,
says E. W. Beatty, chairman
and president of the Canadian
Pacific Railway, ln his annual review of Canadian business for 1931.
A condensed report of the review
is as follows:
y "Seriously affected by world
conditions as
Canada may
appear to be,
there is no
country of the
some or anything like the
same comparative importance in world
affairs tbat ls
less affected
b a s 1 cally by
the conditions
that have
brought financial disaster to
tho great nations of Europe and
lo the United States.
"Economic depression has reached Its most pronounced stages in
those countries moie highly Industrialized. Therein lies one of
tho reasons why Canada has experienced less dislocation than
some others, and is in a better
1-osllion to legister a rapid return to normal conditions. Raving Its economic basis still very
largely In the development of raw
materials, Canada has less distance to travel along the road to
re-establlslrment, and there are
credible reasons for believing we
have gone some distance ln that
direction. Thus we say that to
Canada the year 1931 has been ono
of re-organization and reconstruction.
"The railway situation has moved into recognition as Canada's
most Imperative domestic problem. Its causes, complexities and
possible solution are now being
• probed by a most competent tribunal tl appointment of which
at this time was an act of common
sense and courage. The Canadian
people will present to an interested world renewed evidence of those
finalities if they give their confidence to- that tribunal and meet Its
suggested solutions with considerations of economic value unbiased
by political color or pteconceived
prejudice.
"The nation, Its various communities, many of Its business Institutions and no small number
nr its individuals have in the past
ordered their affairs as though the
way to enduring prosperity lay
through extravagant oxpendltu-e
with lillie cr no thought of stability of lave:ti.ieut or profitable return thftrepr, -  Tims as a nation
we are faced with debts tbat must
be paid. I know of no way of
meeting them other than by hard
work and strict economy. Of
wise expenditure leading to tbe
cpening up of undeveloped business or lowerlng'-of production
cobIs there can be «iO Just criticism at any time, nor should the
railways be blamed too carelessly
for having looked ahead and prepared their facilites so' that future
business reasonably assured might
be adequately taken care of.
"The Canadian Pacific, for Instance, has no apologies to offer
for any of tbe more recent important additions and improvements it has made to Its services.
The "Empress of Britain", built
largely to develop a new class of
de luxe American trade for the
Canadian route to Europe has justified our best expectations, and
up to the end of the world-cruise
ln April next a reasonably good
profit on her operations ls assured. The Royal York Hotel at Tor
onto has also done very well considering existing conditions and
the need for such a convenience
for the traveling public ln tbat
city la just as great now as when
the announcement of its building
was so enthusiastically hailed. It
Is upon such forward moves
as these that Canadian development must ever be predicated. If
the original building of the Canadian Pacific had been held up until existing traffic justified Its operation Canadian national development would now be decades behind
Its present position.
"Over the past year railways
have been more adversely affected
by the general trade contraction
than has any other branch of Industry. A 22.1 p«,r cent, decrease
ln Canadian Pacific gross revenue
for the first ten months of tbe year
is symptomatic of these conditions.
The fact that we were able to effect a 19.1 per cent saving ln
operating costs over the same period is an evidence of the high
standard of efficiency at which the
property has been maintained.
One direction ln which we were
not able to make reductions was
In that of taxes which will run
this wear to $7,500,000. Since its
incorporation the company has
contributed over $121,000,000 to
Canada's tax collections. Under
adverse conditions of which an unreasonably forced standard of competition was not a small part, the
company carried on Its services
In a manner calculated to retain
the confidence of the Canadian
people. This ls shown by the fact
that since September, 1930, the
number of its Canadian shareholders   bas   grown   from 26,185   to
35,775, an Increase of 9,590, bring-:
ing.the Canadian holdings up to
over 46 per cent- of tbe total number of shareholders.
- "It was recently a most encouraging experience to me to go
through Western Canada and witness the courageous manner ln
which westerners are facing the
situation. Any idea that tbe West
is giving itself up to self-pity on
the score tbat its future as an
agricultural country is doomed
should be abandoned forthwith.
As a whole tbat country is not
doing too budly, and its people are
firm in their well justified knowledge that tbey are going to do as
well as ever ln the not too distant future. The most seriously
affected area comprises but 20 to
25 per cent of the West, and over
the remainder tbe conditions are
at least fair to good. Great encouragement has resulted from recent advances In wheat prices, and
since the statistical position of
tbat grain tn world markets ls
undoubtedly strong, higher prices
and a reasonably good demand
are not unlikely over the coming
year. Intelligent Interest In Improved methods and lower cost of
production aB well as ln the all-
Important matter of future diversification of farming Is general.
This and tbe fact tbat Western
Canada has again shown that it
can produce the world's best in
both grain and live-stock is
enough guarantee of that conn-
try's future. Eastern Canada has
no less reason to view Its agricultural destiny with confidence.
Production and export of livestock and dairy products have increased and the fruit crops of Ontario and Nova Scotia are meeting
with excellent markets abroad.
"An Important Increase ln gold
production, some Improvement ln
tbe demand for lumber, an increase over the year ln the voir
ume of tourist traffic, a more satisfactory balance of foreign trade,
and latterly a noticeable betterment ln many lines of retail business are most encouraging factors ln the general situation.
"He would ibe a bold man who
would make any prophesy as to
what Is going to happen during
the coming year, And yet I think
lt requires neither boldness nor
second sight to justify the assumption that 1932 will, as it progresses, show marked Improvement upon its predecessor...-.
"It is an old saying, of recent
years brought much Into mind,
that one thing greatly to be desired ls more business ln government and less government ln bus!
ness. The period of economic
stress has done more to prove the
truth of that statement than anything else could have done, and I
find that a large and growing
number of the Canadian people
are .accepting that fact as being
abundantly established -by the
course of economic events through
which we are passing. Under
stress of war necessities it became
the government's job to supervise
practically everything economic
that was carried on. In many
cases supervision became actual
operation. The natural result was
tbat people and institutions began
to look to jtovernment for the Inspiration and direction which they
themselves could have given mucb
better had they carried forward
their enterprises on business principles the efficiency of which
have been proven through Ages of
stress nnd strain.
"The success which attonded the
flotation of tlio National Servico
Loan should be as reassuring to
Canadians of tlie sound basis upon
which their economic affulrs stand
as It has been to the world at
large. Readiness with-which our
ipeople were ublo to absorb tho
new bond issue established the
fact that a surprisingly large
amount of Canada's wealth was in
liquid form and that the Canadian
people had no heslliition in placing
it at the country's service. The
Canadian dollar has gone considerably below par In raoat of the
world's money markets, tin c!'--'
ot world conditions which parries
its.own remedy In that it is calculated to encourage a more favorable balance of foreign trade. It
haB also contributed as an Inducement to manufacturers from
other countries to establish factories within our borders. Since
August, 1930, approximately 125
new Industries from Great Britain
and the United States have been
organized or are now ln the process of organization.
"Ultimate results following upon the recent British elections are
likely to be far-reaching in their
relation to Canadian economic affairs. Important extension of our
trade with Great Britain seems assured, and lt may 'be expected that
the holding of, the forthcoming
Imperial Conference ln this country will profoundly Influence the
course 6f Canadian economics
over the next few years. Tho
Empire will be brought to a new
realization of what Canada has to
offer In the way of natural-resources and opportunity for profitable investment, ■ and the country ,wi)l step once again into tho
forefront as a land towards which
the most desirable class of immigration and settlement should
properly flow."

Tho word "attic" is geographical.
The architects of Attica, of which'
Athens was tbe ancient capital,
planned such a storey, rising above
an architrave or cornice, because it
was especially suited to their type of
building. In modern times such an
Attica or Attic storey has been called
an attic.
