Amendments to the Church\nUnion art, introduced by the government in the legislature to complete\nthe church union question, were\nfinally approved, but not before R. H,\nPooley, opposition leader, unintentionally imperiled the whole settlement with further amendments.\nAfter hearing appeals from church\nunionists in the house against any\nmove which would renew the dlffi\ntho Great Wall to keep the country |\ntogether.\nA woman from tho south, so thel\nlegend runs, brought cotton-wadded!\nclothes for her man, who had been I\nImpressed by the emperor to helps\nbuild tho wall. She was told that I\nher husband had died, and that ehel\ncould not have his body because it I\nhad been thrown between the brick I\nfacings of the wall and crushed there |\nunder tons of rubble and earth,\nThe woman, persuaded a comrade!\nof her husband to show her the I\nstretch of wall where the body of I\nher husband lay. Three days and!\nthree nights thereafter she walked J\nup and down that length, until the I\ncompassion of the divine power was 1\nexcited by her laments, and that part |\nof the wall collapsed.\nThe scandal came to the ears of I\nthe emperor, who recognised*, beneath t\nhis tyranny, that the conduct of the\nwoman had been most orthodox. To\nregularize the matter, he directed that |\nshe be admitted to his houseB-ftld.\nFirst, however, he planted her prayer\nthat she be permitted to select the j\nbones of her husband for more de-\n...Ities betw.ya the two parties tn liberate burial,\nthe dispute. Mr, Pooley finally with- j The woman gathered up her hus- \u25a0\ndrew his amendments. As a result, band's bones und walkad to the end\nthe way was cleared for the appoint- \\ of lhe wall, abutting on the sea, from\nment of a commission of ten church- | which, before the guards could stop\nand\nmen ao decide all questions stltl\nstanding between the unlonla'\nnon-unionists.\nPremier Oliver nnd Col. Cyrus Peck\nV.C., as neutrals in the church union\ncontroversy, appealed to the house\nnot to plunge into religious strife, bin\nto allow the two wings of the Pr*s-\nbyterlan church to settle their difficulties amicably between themselves.\n\u2022 General Odium assured Mr. Pooley\nthat he was attempting to introduce\nthe seedd of serious discord into the\nwhole question,\n\"Rather than do that, I will withdraw my amendments,\" said Mr.\nPooley, amid thundering applause\nfrom all sides of the house.\nher. she cast the bones into the sea\nand herself after them.\nThe image of the pious wife, in Imperial robes, stands, in the temple\nnear the spot, while the breach In the\nwall is now perpetual.\n _\u2022*\u2022\u00bb- \u00bb\nFires tfamsged a furniture store and\nabattoir iu CsrgUl, ont.\nNo More Sessions\nin the Fall, Says\nPremier Oliver\nFin* for catarrh\nwhen melted in a\nspoon or muffed\nup tho note and\nrapors inhaled*\nVICTORIA, Dec. 18.\u2014(Special. )\u2014\nDefinite assurance thut this is the\nlast fall session of the British Columbia legislature was given to the\nhouse by Premier Oliver at noon\ntoday.\n\"I was prepared last year to acquiesce In the request of thc members for a return lo spring sessions,\"\nsaid Mr. Oliver, \"but I thought the\nsituation In regard to university\nfinances made it necessary for us\nio convene as early as possible this\nyear.*'\nThp premier stated that after consultation with the leader of the opposition it had been decided to hold\na formal opening sometime within\nthe statutory limit of a year from\nthe prorogation of the present session and then adjourn until after\nNew Year for the transaction of\nbusiness.\nHead and Chest Colds\nRelieved In a New Way\nA S-.1t* which Rel_.es Medicated\nVapor, when Applied Over\nThroat and Chest*\nWall of China\nLegend Tragedy\nof Pious Wife\n\u25a0M'____ ________ ____________H\nCHIMVAXGTAO.

VarminRrtnU*. i^onc Island,\nwhere lights were not use*), ami\na special g-ermlnateil o;tts and buttermilk ration was used to increase the consumption, digestion\nand assimilation of tho food. This\nmilk and oat mixture owes lti\neffectB to certain enzymes 'which\nlt contains, and which arc increased by allowing the mixture\nto stand overnight in a lvirm\nroom (60 to 70 degrees) l>p;'ore\nfeeding. The egg production for\nthe entire Farmingdale contest\nbent lhe best previous record in\nthat contost by over 13,000 eggs.\nEach 100 birds received tJjres\nnounds of the buttermilk and three\npounds of oats dally.\nThe germinated oats and buttermilk mixture was not u.sed\nas a substitute for green feed,\nwhich was given regularly as\nusual. The ration had its most\nimportant effect from May to\nNovember.\nIn the August number of the\nAmerican Poultry Journal, Clarence E. Lee gave a preliminary\nreport on the new ration, which\n}ad been'under development for\ntwo years. In describing its\n1 ieparation, he said:\nSoaked (get-initialed) oats are a\nvaluable feed, for they contain\nthe enzyme diastase, which is a\nremarkable aid to digestion of all\nstarchy foods and Wt^f-Cl* stimulates thc appetite, causing great-\ncr consumption of rood and faster\ngrowth withnni dung( r i<> the\nbirds, terminated \";it-< arc prepared by soaking oats in lukewarm water for .1 hours, draining off the water and allowing\ntiie.u to stand ir. a warm room\ntwo or thres 'lays, turning the\noats once a day. \u25a0 rdinary palls\nor wooden hnii-r tubs may be\nlis-'d. .\nThn value of milk in any form\nis well known. \"nr experience\nshowa the milk and soaked oats\nmixture to be far superior to\neither feed used alone and also\nbetter than both if fed separately,\nAt present we mix the scml-solid\nbuttermilk and soaked oats by\nhand, using wooden paddles. The\nmilk is used just as it comes\nfrom the barrel. The mixing fan\nlie done easily and quickly even\nby hand. Ordinary sour milk\n.ould be used in place of tbe\nMini-Wild If available.\nThe enzyme diastase would\nseem to be worthy of investiga-\nt.an.\nAUNT HET\n\"So there's a new milliner in\ntown.

The\n1'nlted States roldiers were more sen-\nsative, too, and less resistant toward\nnose nnd throat infections due to\nthis.\nHe points out alf'o that the air in\nthe cold Feeson contains less water\nanyway, and then when we heat this\nair, which of course takes up less\nspace, we reduce the moisture In the\nair still more, until It is so dry that\nIt dries sut the woodwork, wilts the\nflowers, spoils or dries out complexions, saps the vigor and so forth.\nThis lark ot moisture gives the\n\"chlllv'' feeling and more heat Is demanded. He points out further that\nif we could accustom ourselves to 60\nF. we could save half our fuel bill,\nbecause it costs as much lo raise the\ntemperature from 60 to 70 as lt does\nfrom 40 to 60.\nOur heating and ventilating engineers are working on this problem,\nand just how to give sufficient\nmoisture without too much heat for\nthe average household will likely be\nsolved for us. You seo we want the\nmoisture In the winter nnd we don't\nwant it in the summer. In the meantime, water In pans or receptacles\nh<-hind the radiators Is of help. Opening up the doors and windows for a\nlittle while dally, and getting ln some\noutside air, with its larger supply of\nwater In it. will make us more comfortable with ;i lower degree of tempera lure.\nFoster's Weekly\nWeather Bulletin\nPeople arc much alike, and doubtless the dog catcher tbinkH at times\nhe looks distinguished.\nKansans ate taxpayer.1*, too.

Twigg, Conservative, strongly\nIndorsed hla leader's stand. According\nto evidence collected by the pulpwood\ncommission last year, he said, there\nWere only 20,000 square miles of agricultural land In British Columbia, and\nSAW the government proposed lo alienate 25,000 square miles.\nH. d' Perry, Liberal, Fort George, a\ndeep student of the 1.0 E. problem, In\na maaterly speech demanded that the\nprovince face the railway situation at\nthis time and indorse the government's\nlegislation. He argued that the P.G.E.\nhad never received from the province\nthe same treatment accorded other\nrailways ln land grants, and other\nways. Now, he said, the government\nproposed to give the P.O.B. fair treat\nment, and he favored this plan, al\nthough he would have preferred a loan\nbill lo complete the line to Prince\nOeorge, and a policy which would lead\nto the tapping of the Peace River country.\n, In answtr to specific written questions from A. McCreery, Provincial,\nVancouver, Premier Oliver formally announced to the house that, as he understood the POE. legislation. It did not\nempower the railway directors to alien-\nate any of the railway's resources, or\nany of the new land grants without the\nconsent of the legislature. He was\nquite prepared, he said, to add to the\nbill a clause specifically providing that\nthe legislature muat be consulted on\nthese matte re, although he considered\nthis precaution unnecessary.\n\"It fa said that the land grants\nconstitute an empire,\" remarked\nMr. McCreery. \"In a sense they do.\nBut are there no empire builders\nleft tn the old land?

Mr. Bowser ha\u00a3 committed only himself, he said, and\nhad never committed the present\nmembers of the opposition.\n\"I for one confess the belief that\nthe Pacific Great Eastern should\nnever have been built,\" he declared.\nThe* weight to be attached to the\npresent government pronouncements\nmust be gauged by the fact that\nthey had repeatedly promised to finish the line to Prince George in\nsession after session. This present\npolicy had been uppermost In the\ngovernment's mind for nearly\nyear, he said. In view of last year's\ndebate and the negotiations during\nthe past year, nnd the bill could have\nbeen brought down 10 days after the I\nopening of the house. .\nThen followed Major Lyon's plea1\nfor an adjournment and the divisions.\nOdium Pays Tribute\nBrig.-Gen. V. W. Odium and Col.\nC. \\V.

G. E. company,\"\nsaid General Odium. \"This fear should\nbe removed by the premier's statement that he will agree to an amendment that there shall be no such\nalienation without a reference to the\nlegislature.\n\"If the leader of the opposition took\nhis stand fairly, then with these fears\nremoved he can conscientiously vote\nfor the bill.\"\nGeneral Odium expressed little hope\nthat a sale could be negotiated, and\na believer in the future of the\nroad, claimed that it must be pressed\nompletlon at both ends next year,\nand must be given the same advantages as other roads by reaping some\nof the benefits of the development it\ngives to the land tributary. \"Let us\nhave faith in the fufure,\" he urged.\nPeck Doe* Not Like Flippant Way\nThis, replied Colonel Peck, waa\nJust the sort of \"goody-goody\" language that was used in the papers\nwhen any railway deal was to be put\nover.\n\"I want to protest against the flip\npant way in which this grave proposi\nHon Is treated in this house,\" said\nthe colonel. \"One feature that haa\nnot been discussed is that we are\ngoing to exempt this 16,(100,0.0 acres,\nan empire in itself, from taxation for\n20 years.

The second fixture, between the Fairview Sheiks an# the\nNelson Falcons, was decidedly in\nfavor of tht Sheiks, who .came out\nat the long end of a 30-13 score.\nOnly One Basket in First Ten Minutes\n\u25a0 In th-e first game, between the\nFairview Juniors and the (ias Works\nGoofers, although the first period\nwas considerably slow for the first\n10 minutes, when Fairview netted a\nlone goal, every player was on his\ntoes and pressing hard, and when\nthe whistle at half-time sounded Fair-\nview was leading by 9-4.\nThe second period started off with\nbrilliant play from both teams, and\ntime and again, when the forwards\nmade fighting rushes, their opposing\nKuards checked them off. Often there\nwere flashy combination plays made\nby both teams, and play was so fast\nat times that baskets were scored\nonly through a squeese. The Gas\nWorks Goofers caught up with the\nscore made by the Fairview boys,\nAnd there was some heavy checking\ndone by both sides, and each time\none team netted a basket the opposing\nteam made a come-back and evened\nup the snore. At the end of the final\nperiod, the score stood at a draw,\n17-17.\nFairvisw Victorious in Overtime\nTen minutes of overtime was de\nelded to break the draw, and every\nplayer was on hla toes and marking\nhis man.

The crowd was In\nan uproar, and the players were\nplaying a furious game.

The champions made a number of dangerous sorties into Portland ice and Walker and Frederick-\nson tested McCusker, but {or the\nmost part the Rosebuds were\nforcing the battle. Two minutea\nbefore the interval a fierce rush by\nthree Portland men caused a hot\nscramble in front of the Victoria\nnet and Hay scored.\nThe teams went through the third\nperiod without a score. There was\na lot of hard checking and Referee\nMeeking had to banish four players\nfor aggressive tactic*.

Until a few\nyears ago it was retarded by the impossibly\nslow traffic of camel trains, the only means\nof communication.\nBut now it is being crisscrossed in every\ndirection by motor cars, or, more correctly\nby one motor car, the Dodge. Sixty or\nseventy Dodge Brothers cars are making\nregular trips far into the interior of this vast\n* waste, bringing out loads of sables, precious\nfurs, wool and other products.\nNo other car except the Dodge is found there\nbecause we have tried it out on each of our\nthree' expeditions and have had it demonstrated to our satisfaction that the .Dodge\nia the only car that will stand up under the\nstrain of the roadless desert and do every'\nthing we ask of it\nFpw people have occasion to subject their motor\ncars to punishment of this severity. It is reassuring, however, to know that in emergencies Dodge\nBrothers Motor Car is built to meet the test\nThese dependable and sturdy qualities also account for the fact that more than 90% of all the\nmotor cars Dodge Brothers have built during the\npast eleven years, are still in active service.\n* _ :% ; \u25a0\nThe Capitol Motors\nNELSON, B. a\nP.O.

The champion waa given the unanimous\nJudges' verdict.\nThe fight was Kaplan's right from\nthe start, hla aggressiveness actually making the fight. Herman boxed,\nbl inched wrestled and tugged to\nkeep the champion from overpowering him, much to the disgust of the\n14,000 spectators tn the garden.\nRingside critics gave the champion\neleven rounds, Herman two, and\ncalled two even.\nIt was a slugging, mauling battle,\nbat for a few flashes It lacked the\ncolor and spectacular exchanges\nthat featured the six previous encounters between these consistent\nrivals.\nHerman ln Retreat\nKaplan's furious attempts at offensive kept Herman in retreat and\nresulted in continual holding by\nthe challenger who failed to show\nany effectiveness In attack himself\nexcept In the tenth and fourteenth\nrounds.\nThere were no knock downs in\nspite of the vicious swings indulged\nIn by both battlers but Herman\ntook two acrobatic plunges to the\ncanvas, once in the tenth round\nwhen he stumbled and turned a back\nHip, and aguin in the final rownd\nwhen he bounded to the floor and\nup again after dodging a Kaplan\nswing. Kaplan's shiftiness and Herman swinging wildly throughout\nfeatured the first half of the fight\nat such times as they wire not\nlocked ln clinches and in the latter\nhalf the chami\u00bb-on had sufficient\netamlna tn reserve to check his rival's belated attempts to rally.\nFtniu-ftan Wins On Foul\nDick (Hnneyboy) Finntgan won\nthe semi-final bout on a foul from\nBobby Garcia, soldier boxer from\nCamp Holabird. Md., in tho Mxth\nround of a scheduled 10-round go.\nGarcia was disqualified by Hof\neree Kid MeFhaUland. for hitting\nlow after being warned three times\npreviously for the same offence.\nFeatherweights clashed tonight in\ntwo four-iouiul prt.'lhnluarien to the\nKaplan-Herman title fight, with\nNick QuaterelU of New York, 126,\ngaining the judges' decision over\nTommy Juries of Atlanta, 125, after\nwhich Johnny Klluccl of New York.\n126 1-2, won the verdict over Willie\nMakel, Washington negro, 126.\nJackie Snyder of New York, 126H-\ncaptured a close dectslon over Jimmy\nSakamoto of Japan, 128, ln a six-\nround encounter.\nPORf ARTHUR HAS\nWON ANOTHER CUP\nOPPOSITION TO\nSUMAS TERMED\nTREASURY RAID\nDefeats Preston in Preseason\nContest for Ontario Sportsmen's Trophy\nTORONTO, Dec. 18.\u2014The CunmUan\namateur champions, Port Arthur,\nadded another cup to the collection\nthat surioundB the Allan cup tonight when they defeated PrHtOH in\nthe final game of the Bporttmen'i\nPatriotic association senior series\nof the arena by 9 to 3, and ag a\nresult the trophy for the pi-wcaeon\ngallop of senior Ontario will take\nthe lonttM journey it lm\u00ab yet\nbeen called upon i\u00bb make.\nThe winners won with consider*\nable to spare and at no time did\nthey appear to be fully extended.\nThev led by _ to 0 at the end of\nthe first period but Ihe Riveietdez\ncut the margin in half soon after\nthe second period stalled. The\nlosers were holding their own fairly well.\nAbout the middle of the period\nGray drove one at Bchmaltz from\nthe wing and the I'reston goalie did\nnot see Hie shot until too late, the\nrubber hitting him on Iho right\ntemple and Knocking him unconscious. He was carried off the Ice\nbut revived quickly and resumed\nhis place In the net with but a\nshort rest. This proved to be the\nundoing of the conquerors.

One gentleman who complains he cannot pay owns 800\nacres of land and another 400.\n\"One man who organized this opposition to the payment of Just debts\nIs a land owner who secretly drew\nthousands of dollars from the engineers as part of a commission paid\nto the engineer for this work.\"\nI knew for three years that this\nsituation was going to arise,\" the\npremier declared. \"I saw. long ago\nthat there was a movement on foot\nto prevent the payment of these Just\ndebts. Hector Stewart told me that\nthey didn't intend to pay.\n\"I say this ls an organized effort to avoid payment of debts and\nI would not be worthy of position I\nhold if, knowing these things, knowing that an attempt ls being made to\nput debts upon the people of province without any Justice or equity\u2014I\nwould not be worthy as an honest\nman, If I did not expose this attempt to raid the treasury of province.\n\"Before I would do that I would\nhand ln my resignation to the lieutenant-governor.\" ,\nMortgaged Their Home\nR. H. Pooley declared that the\npremier and Mr. Barrow were not\nin a position to act as judges be\ntween the people and the land owners In view of Colonel Davis\" evidence\nbefore the public accounts committee,\nchairman of the land settlement\nHe quoted Colonel Davis, former\nboard, who had direct charge of the\nconstruction as follows:\n\"1 consulted Mr. Barrow and we\ndecided that the less we consulted\nthe land owners the better. If we\nhad given them all the Information\nabout the cost there might have been\na panic. . It might have been better,\nhowever. If we had consulted them\nmore.\" Mr. Pooley said this showed\nthat the government ha_ deliberately-\ngone ahead and mortgaged these\npeople's homes for all this excess\ncost for whieh he held the government responsible, and declared that\nIn face of this evidence, it was un-\nBi'itish to close the courts.\nR. H. Neelands brought out by\nquestions that about half the privately owned land, 8000 acres was\nheld by non-resident owners, whom\nMr. Uarrow stated were speculatots.\n\"Then I suggest that If these people sell out. the government fix thc\nact so that lt goes about \"5 per cent\nof the spread between what they\npaid for their land, and what they\nget for it now,\" urged Mr. Neelands.\nA. D. Pa teuton wound up the debate with a fighting speech.\nBig Owners Bfli-M'titiMC\n\"If the present owners at Sumas\ncannot make good let the government give the land to somebody\nelse who will,\" he urged. \"I am not\ngoing to pay taxes for the man who\nwont work.' Let these men show\nthey are willing to work, and then\nif In five years they can't carry the\nload I'll be the first man to volunteer to take over part of the load.\nThere are lots of farmers up there\nwho are working their land now\nquite satisfied\u2014and too busy to\ncome down here.
