C. NOV. 26. 1910.\nNO 16\nPORT ALBERNI BOARD OF TRADE\nMOVES TO INCORPORATE\nTHE TOWN.\nEven the Alberni Land company has\ncome to realize the necessity of, and\nthe advantages to be derived from,\nmunicipal incorporation, and there is\nnow a good prospect that the unorganized town of Port Alberni will, by next\nSpring, be converted into a real city,\nwith a mayor, a board of aldermen, a\ncity clerk and a great seal, together\nwith various other officials and accessories.\nThe question of incorporation was\ndiscussed at the regular meeting of the\nPort Alberni Board of Trade, held last\nMonday night, when it was shown by\nI, -the secretary that, with the assistance\n\u201e\u00bbf the Land company, an area of town-\njite    embracing    assessment    values\nI amounting to $800,000, could be brought\ninto the scheme.\nAlfred Carmichael, representing the\nLand company, said his company were\nwilling to do what they could to assist\nincorporation if the Local Improvement\nor some other plan that would be just\nto them were adopted.\nA committee composed of A. E.\nWaterhouse, R. F. Blandy, A. D.\nCooper, Dr. Hilton and A. Carmichael,\nwas appointed to take proceedings.\nFREE SEEDS\nFOR FARMERS\nDentistry.\nD. E. Kerr, D. D. S., will open a\ndental office in Alberni during the first\ntwo weeks of December.\n.hina Creek Water Works and\nGold Dredging.\ni Colin Murray, of Nome and Seattle,\ntho is interested in the promotion of\nrater works, electrical power and gold\nVedging schemes in the Alberni dis-\nrict, had a conference with the China\n\u25a0reek Water and Power syndicate in\nllberni last Saturday night. Details\nincorporating the syndicate and\njiancing a water works were discussed\njid\"the proposition was advanced to a\n(age from which it must, in the course\n1 a month, go through to completion\nor fall down altogether. Mr. Murray\nleft on Tuesday for Seattle where he\nwill confer again with his cypitalistic\nassociates.\nAsked if it was the intention of his\ncompany to inaugurate and gold dredging work on China Creek this winter\nMr. Murray said it was not likely \"that\nmuch would be done as he  did   not see\nhis way clear to obtaining satisfactory\nclaim to the ground proposed to be\nworked. There was no trouble in connection with securing leases from the\nProvincial government, but it was\nfound that E. & N. Railway company\nand other private interests might have\nto be dealt with also. In the meantime his company would endeavor to\nhold what rights it could, and would\nhave some further prospecting work\ndone.\nJames Gibson and M. Enter, two\nwell known placer miners who came into this district with Mr. Murray about\na year ago, left on Monday for the\nscene of the proposed mining operations. They are camped in the Duke\nof York cabin and will spend a couple\nof months prospecting.\nAmateur Performers\nGive a Good Show\n\"Dearest Mamma,\" the comedy\nsketch given by the Alberni Amateur\nDramatic society in Whyte's hall on\nThursday night, returned full value in\nlaugh provocation to the two hundred\nor more people who attended the performance.\nThe characters were most fittingly\ncast, and the company was splendidly\nbalanced.\nThe leading lady's part was taken by\nMrs. Seale, who appeared for the first\ntime before a local audience, and met\nwith marked favor. Mrs. Seale is perfectly at home on the stage, and sust\ntained her part with a naturalness of\nmanner and a dramatic intelligence that\nwould do credit to many a professional\nactress.\nMrs. Haslam, who was in the title\nrole, gave a creditable interpretation of\nthe objectionable and meddlesome\nmother-in-law, while Mrs. Guilliod\ngracefully and winsomely presented the\ncharacter of an interesting widow who\nhad her eyes and mind on a possible\nsecond husband.\nLeslie Withers, in the role of Uncle\nBrowser, did all that was expected of\nhim, and that, by the way, is saying a\ngreat deal, for he has a reputation as a\ncomedian that none but a real artist\ncould sustain. He was a whole show\nin himself, and the risibilities of the\naudience had no chance for a rest while\nhe was on the stage.\nM. Stevens, thoroughly  rehearsed in\nhis part of a woman dodger, appeared\nto better advantage than he has ever\nbeen seen in Alberni, where he meritoriously acquired the. title of local\ncomedian.\nC. Blandy, as an indulgent husband,\nand a champion of matrimonial life, did\nthe thing smoothly. He has a fine stage\npresence, a striking manner and a well\ncultivated voice.   .\nGeorge Roff, the butler, with only a\nsmall part to play, was so good as to\nmake the audience regret that more\nwork had not been provided for him.\nPrior to the presentation of \"Dearest mamma,\" George Roff, C. Blandy,\nC. M. Pineo and M. Stevens produced a\nlaughable farce entitled \"A Kiss in the\nDark,\" Mr. Pineo and Mr. Stevens\ntaking feminine parts with an ability\nthat showed that they were well acquainted with the working of the hearts\nand minds of the fair sex. It might\nalso be said that Mr. Pineo looked lovely in a handsome gown of pink satin\nand a well groomed wig of blond hair.\nBefore and after the farce Sid Bennett entertained the audience with songs\nthat won him repeated encores.\nIt was announced in Victoria on\nTuesday that tenders for the construction of the first section- of the Canadian\nNorthern on Vancouver Island would\nbe called for this week. The necessary location surveys are now well advanced towards completion, and the\ncontract will be awarded almost immediately.\nBy instruction of the Hon. Minister\nof Agriculture a distribution is being\nmade this season of samples of superior sorts of grain and potatoes to Canadian farmers for the improvement of\nseed. The stock for distribution has\nbeen secured mainly from the experi-\nI mental farms at Indian Head, Sask.,\nI Brandon, Man., and Ottawa, Ont. The\nj samples consist of oats, spring wheat,\nj barley, field peas, Indian corn (for en-\nI silage only), and potatoes. A quantity\nI of each of the following varieties has\nI been secured for this distribution:\nOats\u2014Banner,  Abundance,     Danish\ni Island, Wide Awake, Thousand Dollar,\n| Improved Ligowo\u2014all white   varieties.\nWheat\u2014red    varities\u2014Marquis   and\nEarly Red Fife   (early   beardless sorts\nof  high  baking  strength),   Red   Fife\n(beardless), Preston and Huron (early,\nbearded).       White     varieties\u2014White\nFife (beardless),   Bobs   (early,   beardless). \u2022\nBarley \u2014 six-rowed \u2014 Mensury   and\nManchurian   (a  selection    from   Mensury).    Two-rowed\u2014Standwell and Invincible.\nField Peas\u2014Arthur and Golden Vine.\nIndian  corn   (for ensilage) \u2014 Early\nsorts\u2014Angel of   Midnight,   Compton's\nEarly and Longfellow.   Later varieties\n\u2014 Selected Learning,  Early  Mastadon.\nand White Cap Yellow Dent.\nPotatoes\u2014Early varieties\u2014Rochester Rose and Irish Cobbler. Medium to\nlate varieties\u2014Gold Coin, Carman No.\n1 and Money Maker. The later varieties are, as a rule, more productive\nthan the earlier kinds.\nOnly one sample will be sent to each\napplicant, hence if an individual receives a sample of oats he cannot also\nreceive one of wheat, barley, peas, Indian corn or potatoes. Applications on\nprinted cards or sheets, or lists of\nnames from one individual, or applications for more than one sample for one\nhousehold, cannot be entertained. The\nsamples will be sent free of charge\nthrough the mail.\nAmplications should he addressed to\nthe Dominion Cerealist, Experimental\nFarm, Ottawa, and may be sent in any\ntime from the 1st of December to the\n15th of February, after which the lists\nwill be closed so that the samples\nasked for may be sent out in good\ntime. Applicants should mention the\nvariety they prefer with a second sort\nas an alternative. Applications will be\nfilled in the order in which they are received so long as the supply of seed\nlasts. Farmers are advised to apply\nearly to avoid possible disappointment.\nThose applying for Indian corn or potatoes should bear in mind that the\ncorn is not usually distributed until\nApril, and that potatoes cannot be\nmailed until danger from frost in\ntransit is over.\nNo postage is required on mail matter addressed to the Experimental\nFarm, Ottawa.\nWOULD IMPROVE SYSTEM\nON THE WEST COAST\nTo the Editor of Pioneer News:\nDear Sir, \u2014 May I encroach sufficiently on your space to attract attention and support to the following resolution which I propose to move at the\nnext meeting of the Alberni Board of\nTrade. The resolution explains itself\nand should commend itself to everyone\nfamiliar with conditions on the West\nCoast. This is now the season when\nshipping disasters may be anticipated\nat any time. We have been remarkably free of such for the last two years\nbut experience tells us that history\nwill repeat itself and that we should\nbe prepared for any emergency.\nThe improvement called for by the\nresolution will cost practically nothing,\nwill injure no one, and may be the\nmeans of saving hundreds of lives.\nAllow me to emphasize that the\nresolution contains not the slightest reflection on the present operators. With\nthe exception of two or three at the\nsouthern end of the island, below Port i\nRenfrew, I'know them all and respect I\nthem all, and am sure they would, one\nand all do their utmost to assist if they\nknew of any wreck or person in distress, but they cannot act unless there\nis some method of notifying them in\ncase of emergency at all hours.\nA. W. Neill.\n\"Whereas the government has spent\nlarge sums for the protection of shipping approaching the west coast of\nVancouver Island by the erection of\nlight houses, fog stations, wireless telegraph and lifeboat stations, the making of the West Coast trail and maintaining patrol men on it during the\nwinter months.\n\"And whereas there is a telegraph\nand telephone line from Victoria to\nClayoquot, following the shore line for\nsome two hundred miles, with about\ntwenty calling stations on it, which\nwas installed largely on account of its\nbenefit in reporting shipping and\nwrecks.\n\"And whereas the hours of the operators are from 8 a. m. until 8 p. m.,\nand whereas it is during the night that\nthere is most danger of a wreck occurring, involving heavy loss of life from\na steamer mistaking or failing to make\nthe entrance to the straits, such as in\nthe case of the Valencia, and whereas\nin every instance the telegraphic instruments and telephones are in the\nresidences of the operators;\n\"Therefore we respectfully ask the\ngovernment to establish an \"Emergency Call\" to which every operator\nwould be expected to give attention to,\nif within hearing, after hours.\n\"This would not entail any extra\nhours   attendance   on    the . operators\nwhose hours are long enough already,\nbut merely require them to answer an\n\"Emergency Call\" at any time after\nhours when they heard it. This would\nnot restrict an operator from spending\nthe evening or the night away from\nhome, but merely on his return home\nhe would reply to the call as soon as he\nheard it. As each operator sleeps in\nhouse where his instruments are it\nwould only very seldom happen that\nthe call would go unanswered all night.\nThe only equipment expense would be\nthat of installing an extension bell to\nthe bedroom.\n\"Among the settlements of the West\nCoast, some of them isolated, it would\nsometimes happen that the general\npublic would want to send a message\nthrough after hours such as in the case\nof needing a doctor or, in case of a\nbreakdown in the machinery of a sawmill or cannery. To provide for such\nand ensure that the operators would\nnot be imposed upon, we would suggest that each commercial message\nsent after hours on an \"Emergency\nCall\" should be charged $2.50 in addition to ordinary rates, and that the\n$2.50 be divided as a bonus between the\nsending and receiving operators. This\nbonus to be increased to $5.00 in the\ncase of reporting wrecks and in the latter instance to be paid by the department.\nTherefore we urge the government to\nfavourably consider the establishment\nof such a system which could be\ndone at a triflng cost, at no hardship to\nthe operators, and providing an opportunity of sending messages in an emergency at all hours, an opportunity which\nmight some day prove of the most vital\nimportance in the saving of many lives.\nAnd further be it resolved that copies\nof this resolution be forwarded asking\nfor their endorsement and suppo\u2122t to\nthe following boUico und poisons: The\nPort Alberni Board of Trade, the Victoria Board of Trade, the Development\nLeagues of Ucluelet, Clayoquot aid\nPort Renfrew, the Hon.

The outside\ncombination of the strong box had not\nbeen thrown off and a simple inside\nlock was easily worked. The foxy robber left no clue except the imprint of\none of his boot marks on the outside\nwall as he was negotiating the window\npassage. The police are on the trail of\na suspect and have hopes of landing\nhim.\nFuture visitors of this nature to the\nPioneer News office may take the advice that there will not be enough\nmoney in that safe, locked or unlocked,\novernight, to buy a stage ticket to\nCameron Lake. Should this advice be\ndisregarded, and the treasure seeker be\ndisappointed, he is now asked nrtt to let\nhis sore feeling tempt him to carry\naway or destroy anything that'could be\nof no value to him.\nR. E. Montgomery's\nName Wrongly Used\nA regrettable mix-up of names occurred in the issue of the Pioneer News\nof October 15 last with the result that\nR. E. Montgomery, of Fort Worth,\nTexas, a gentleman who is heavily interested in timber and agricultural\nlands in this district and is well known\nhereabouts, was named as the father of\na young man whom the newspaper dispatches said had been arrested in Seattle on a charge of forgery.   .\nThe Pioneer News has been reliably\ninformed that the young man arrested\nin Seattle, and who. by the way, was\nsaid to be from Fort Worth, is in no\nway related to the R. E. Montgomery\nso well known in this district. Neither\nhas he been\" in any way, business or\notherwise, associated with him. In\nfact he is not even personally known to\nhim.\nMr. R. E. Montgomery has reason to\nfeel that the error in the news item in\nquestion is injurious to his good name,\nand it is hoped that this explanation\nwill disassociate, him from any connection whatever with the person of the\nsame surname arrested in Seattle.\n'\n Page 2\nALBERNI PIONEER NEWS\nSaturday.

SPENCER'S CONCEIT.\nThe Ivy.\nVancouver, B. C. Nov. 16, 1910.\nTo the Editor Alberni Pioneer News:\nDear Sir:\u2014Some time ago you issued a stricture on our Local Option work,\nand especially upon myself. In your issue of Nov. 12th, you have a short\nleader criticizing the position taken by our League. The adjectives you are so\ngraceful in using may read very prettily to liquor advocates, and you rightly\nstate that our principal aim is to let the people settle the liquor question for\nthemselves by a vote at the polls. You may call this \"cunning bluff\" if you\nlike, but you are not in line with that purpose as your paper shows.\nHowever, the people of your district are evidently not led by the statements\nyou make as they did elect the Temperance candidate at the last election. It is\nnot a question with us what political party a man belongs to. What we do desire and aim to accomplish is the election of temperance men on both sides of\nthe House and I am glad to inform you that our 90 Leagues are made up of\nboth sides of politics and the larger number of them are Conservatives. So\nthat it is not a question of politics with us, but of giving the people their inherent right. That we provoke criticism is a causa for thankfulness even though\nyou describe us as narrow-minded and probably think yourself liberal-minded.\nWhile we give the people their right, you deny them that right. Keep on firing\naway, Mr. Editor, and you will help us in the Alberni district.\nI am, Yours truly,\nD. Spencer, Supt.\nThe letter printed above is quite   characteristic of  D. (Rev. Dr.) Spencer,\nand rather than \"Yours Truly,\" he could more fittingly have subscribed himself\n\"Yours Rashly,\" \"Yours Superficially,\" or \"Yours Superciliously.\"\nDr. Spencer writes with the manner of one who believes that he needs only\ntouch the escape valve of his intellectual fountain and his opponent will be\nsorely squelched by a burst of effective sarcasm and unanswerable argument.\nIt is only because thoughtful people seldom take him seriously that Dr.\nSpencer is permitted to rant, unchallenged, on the platform, and through the\ncolumns of newspapers, and create the impression in some quarters, perhaps,\nthat he is the master mind of the arena.\nIt is not the  intention of the editor,   whether  he be  of the thoughtful or\nother mental class,  in  making  this reply,  to  take  the superintendent of the [\nLocal   Option    League    seriously,    but   merely    to  show   his   superficiality\nand endeavor to puncture his personal conceit.\nIt can be seen, by the date line of Dr. Spencer's letter, that he must have\nbeen quick about making his reply to the editor of this paper. It can be easily\nobserved, also, by anyone who will take the trouble to read the leader he refers\nto, that he did not use even ordinary precaution to find out what he was attempting to demolish.\nThere is not in the Pioneer Naws of Nov. 12, a leader short or long, narrow\nor wide, or any other article of any kind, criticizing the position taken by \"our\nLeague.\" There is in that issue a short leader wholly confined to comment on\nDr. Spencer, the Local Option and Scott Act man, without any mantion of, or\nreference to, \"our League,\" or any other league. It deals with remarks in\nwhich he used the first personal pronoun \"I,\" and purported to tell what he,\nhimself, did not want.\nThe editor of this paper did not state, rightly or wrongly, that \"our principal aim is to let the people settle the liquor question for themselves by a vote at\nthe polls.\" In a nsws item, in anithar part of tha papar, Dr. Sp.ncir's own\nstatement of something to that effect was given with quotation marks properly\nplaced.\nIn the last sentence of the first paragraph of Dr. Spencer's letter the editor\nis told that he is not in line with the purpose of \"cunning bluff\" as his paper\nshows. Probably that is not what the reverend doctor meant to say, but, in\nhis haste, accidentally slipped into that one truth.\nDr. Spencer's statement that the people of this district \"did elect the Temperance candidate at the last election,\" is something new. It should sound\nstrange to Mr. Brewster, who was the successful candidate, and startling to\nthose liquor vendors whose support both he and his agents canvassed and secured. Neither of the candidates, in their campaign addresses, appealed to the\nelectorate either in favor of or against the Temperance question. Even supposing that Dr. Spencer's statement, in this connection, be true, it is beyond\nhuman power to understand how a leader in this paper of Nov. 12, 1910, or one\nin the issue of Aug. 6, 1910, which is the \"some time ago\" mentioned in the\nopening sentence of his letter, could have affected the voting on Nov. 25, 1909.\nThis rash, superficial and supercilious preacher might better have withheld\nthat sly insinuation about pleasing liquor advocates until he became more\nfamiliar with the policy of this paper on the liquor question. That policy, as\nregular readers know, has brought about marked reforms in the liquor business,\nand has for its aim nothing short of a restriction that will remove all the foolish evils for which the traffic can be held responsible. That policy has been commended by prominent and earnest Prohibition workers in this district who have\nseen and appreciated the results of it. It has never aimed to please liquor advocates or liquor dealers and there can be no reason shown why liquor interests\nshould be pleased with it any more than Dr. Spencer should be.\nIt is quite apparent that one who does not agree with and accept the methods of Dr. Spencer is, from his point of view, a friend of the liquor advocates.\nTherein is one evidence that he is narrow-minded.\nWhene'er a human life we see\nLike some scarred forest oak,\nThen may we as the ivy be,\nAnd seek its wounds to cloak.\nOur words be as the ivy vines\nThe soul's rough scars to hide,\nThat like the oak the ivy twines\nIts beauty may abide.\nFor words a neighbor's heart doth bare,\nAnd hidden wounds uncloak,\nAre like the wanton hands that tear\nThe ivy from the oak.\nBut words of love and charity\nThese wounds would seek  to screen,\nAs ivy doth the scarred oak tree\n'Neath its soft robe of green.\nDudley H.

The only evidence he submitted, and\nhe considered it sufficient and conclusive, was an article \"to be seen on page\none of our 'Standard' where three gentlemen, two of them with grey hairs, affirm that Local Option is a success (the 'great' omitted), and to this method of\nlegislation our eastern provinces owe their position today.\" Any man who, being accredited with an ordinarly sound mind, would accept the case as proved on\nsuch testimony ought to have the workings of his mental apparatus investigated\nby some person whose only business is the teaching of little children.\nJAS.
