The Red\nFir is not the only lumber mill that\nhas thus been enforced to suspend\nbusiness for a while. Over half the\nmills in Vancouver are similarly situated. One new mill, built there recently at a large sum of money, has\nnot turned a saw yet. The Chemanius\nmill closed on Thursday of last week.\nWhile running, the Red Fir was cutting from 95,000 to 110,000 feet'of\nlumber a day, and Manager Hardy says\nthat he will have ample stock on hand\nwith which to supply the local trade.\n^5^^:\nft^SlfcMI, B.

T. S. Glassford officiating. The\nhappy couple took a honeymoon trip to\nthe ice cream parlor, and then retired to\nthe reserve to commence housekeeping.\nClimbing Arrowsmith.\nF. Kermode, curator of the Provincial JYiuseum, S. McB. Sm.th, pro-\n.xiiwieJ^'ssessor; Dr. Masun, and D.\nStephenson, provincial constable, of\nNanaimo, commenced an ascent of\nMount Arrowsmith this morning. The\nparty was joined at Cameron Lake by\nLeonard Frank, the local photographer,\nwho joined in the climb for the purpose of taking pictures at different\npoints.\nCall to Cape Beale.\nDr. Morgan returned last evening\nfrom Cape Beale where he was called\non Thursday to attend to Violet, the\n^ daughter ol Mr. and Mrs. T. Paterson.\n'ihe cnild was suffering from throat\ntrouble of a ser.ous nature, ami an\noperation had to be performed.\nBazaar Successful.\nThe bazaar held by the Women's\nAuxiliary of All Saints Church on\nThursday was a most successful affair,\nthe hall be.ng thronged day and night\nby, people who liberally patronized the\ndirterent booths, l'ne gross receipts\namounted to $2i5 ouc ox which there\nwill be a large sum nee.\nThe festive \"Wild-Catter\" has bobbed up again.   This time in Vancouver.\nOnce again the gullible are given a\nchance to part with small amounts of\nmoney, and take on large quantities of\nhope.\nThe names of T. P. McConnell and\nE. C. Lockwood are connected with\nthis latest fake.\nLots somewhere in the remote and\ndense woods are being offered at $20\nper lot. The newspaper advertisement\nsays they are really worth $100.\nThe only description given of the location of this real estate is that it adjoins the Anderson (C. P. R.) town-\nsite, close to the Nanaimo-Alberni\nwagon road,fifteen minutes walk from\nschool, postoffice and bank.\nTo the outsider this may sound good,\nbut it is grossly misleading. Anyone\nhere knows, that within the bounds of\nsuch a description\u2014save, maybe, the\nwalking time\u2014it is easy to become lost\nin the woods.\nAs near as the Pioneer News can figure the proposition out it is part of the\nproperty that was condemned last year\nas \"Wild-cat,\" and put off the market.\nThe half-page advertisement, which\nappears in the Province contains all\nkinds of wild and misleading statement, and the advertisers have even\nhad the nerve to misuse the name of\nthe Alberni Pioneer News. In the\nProvince of last Tuesday they say:\n\"Last week, according to the Alberni\nPioneer News, they (the C. P. R. company) have  let  the  contracts  for the\nj terminal yards and sidings.\"\nSuch statement was not contained in\n, the Alberni Pioneer News of last week\nj or any other week.\nIt was announced in this paper, June\n6, that Carmichael & Muirhead had a\ngang of men at work clearing land for\nthe railway yards. They had this contract months ago. It is merely the\ntail end of the right-of-way work.\nThis  misrepresentation  looks  like a\ndeliberate attempt to give the Vancouver public the rush act and fleece\nthe victims while they are caught for\nthe moment.\nThe sale is a fake, and the people behind it are fakirs.\nThe Pioneer News is a responsible\nnewspaper, and knows what it would\nmean to make this statement if it\ncould not back it up with all necessary\nevidence.\nHorseshoeing.\nMr. P.

A. Watson,\nof New Alberni, wended  the  nammei.\nW. J. Linton and J. J. Whalen, two\ncommercial travelers from Vancouver,\nwere in town yesterday.\nWm. Rice   Injured.\nWilliam R:ce, axeman with H. H.\nBrowne's survey party at. the head of\nGreat Central lake, met with an acc;-\ndent which has put him on the incapable list for a couple of wpeks. While\nbark'ng a tree he slipped and the blade\nof his axe struck his left leg, just\nabove the knee cap, cutting a long and\ndeep gash. His fellow workers immediately went to his assistance and did\nthe best they could to stop the flow of\nblood. Mr. Rice was cared for in camp\nfor three days while awaiting the arrival of a launch to take him to th;s\nend of the lake. He was brought into\ntown on Monday and had the wound\ndressed by Dr. Morgan.\nWork at Sidney Inlet.\nWork has been resumed at Sidney\nInlet on the Indian Chief mine which\nwas recently acqu'red by the Seattle\nand Alaska Copper company. J. L.\nParker, general manager of the mine,\nand W. H. Trewartha James, of London, Eng., general manager of the\nTyee Copper company, spent this week\nat the property. They arrived on the\nTees last Sunday night.\nGrading Contract.\nTenders are to be called for, within a\nfew days, for the grad'ng' of the E. &\nN. extension between Nanoose and\nFrench Creek.\nSurveyors will probably be put to\nwork next week on the necessary final\npreparations.\nWork on the contract from Wellington to Nanoose is progressing satisfactorily and, it is expected, will be finished before the end of the year.\nPremature.\nThe intimation in last week's issue\nof the Pioneer News that Herbert\nCarmichael had res:gned the office of\nprovincial assayer was premature and\nm;slead:ng. Mr. Carmichael is still\nactively engaged in the service of the\nProvincial government, and expects to\nremain so for some months to come.\nHe spent part of this week taking water measurements at the outlet of Great\nCentral lake. Until such time as he\nsevers his connection with the government Mr. Carmichael will leave his interests with the Alberni Land company in the hands of A. Carmichael.\nImprove the Cemetery.\nAt a public meeting, held in the Court\nHouse on Tuesday evening, the question\nof taking steps to improve and protect\nthe public cemetry property was discussed, and it was decided to make an\neffort to raise the required amount of\nmoney by public subscription. Capt.\nHuff, A. W. Neill and George Forrest\nwere added to the committee. A subscription list was forthwith put into\ncirculation, and up to date a substantial amount has been subscribed.\nThe amount is not yet sufficient,\nhowever, to meet the necessities, and\nthe committee look for a further\npractical interest on the part of the\npeople.\nLooks Like Murder.\nChief Cox was a passenger on the\nTees for Victoria yesterday. He had\nwith him the missing part of the skull\nof Horace Waters which he found after\n! some diligent search around the spot\nwhere the body was found.   Passengers\nI from up the coast who are acquainted\nwith the latest developmets in the case\nsay it was undoubtedly murder by\nIndians.\nF. Berger, the man responsible for\nstarting the bush fire below the Barclay Sound Cedar company's mill, a\ncouple of weeks ago, was convicted\nbefore Magistrate Neill yesterday\nafternoon the prosecution being conducted by Fire Ward ;n J. B. Wood.\nMr. Wood explained to the court\nthat he did not wish to press for a\nheavy penalty, his object in this case\nbeing to spread a warning to careless\npeople. He mentioned the fact that\nBerger had worked hard to check the\nfire after he saw the danger of it.\nIn view of the fire warden's explanation the magistrate assessed the offender the costs of the court and bound\nhim over in the sum of $50 to be on his\ngood and most careful behaviour in\nrespect to fires hereafter.\nTourists Kill Bear.\nHarry S. Jordan and Joseph B. Jordan, of Grand Rapids, Mich., who arrived here last week, and went up\nTaylor River on a bear hunting trip returned on Tuesday with their trophy as\nlarge and fine a piece of black fur as\nhas ever been stripped from the carcase of the king beast of these forests.\nThe hunters were accompanied by\nWilliam Lindsay and Julius Donner as\nguides, and beat their way through the\ntrackless wilds almost to the head of\nthe stream a region of the interior that\nhas been visited by but few human bt-\nings. All along their route they saw-\ntraces of big game, and had many opportunities which were not taken advantage of because of the difficulties of\npacking.\nThe bear that was chosen as victim\nwas a female with two cubs. When\nthe mother received the fatal bullet\nwound the youngsters quickly scrambled to the top of a 75-foot tree and\nthere sought refuge. As there was,\napparently, no chance of taking them\nalive without a long wait, the cubs\nwere also killed, but the hides were\nfound to be too tender for stripping.\nMr. Harry Jordan says the country\nhe went through on the hunt is the\nmost wonderful he has ever seen, the\ntrip was the toughest and, withal, the\nmost interesting of his life.\nTenders Wanted.\nTenders will be received by the undersigned, addressed \"Thomas Paterson, Cape Beale,\" up till 6 p. m., July\n'i, 1908, for the erection of a dwelling\nhouse on the one-acre lot opposite the\nAlberni School House,\" bunding to be\ncompleted by the 15th of September\nnext.\nPlarts and specifications can be seen\nat the residence of Capt.

C, June 27, 1908.\nRAPS THE SOCIALIST.\nINTERESTING   MAGAZINE.\nof\nGoldwin Smith, in a recent issue\nthe Weekly  Sun,   has  this  to say on\nSocialism:\nIn   the   manifesto  of  the   Socialist\nparty in   Toronto,    Socialism   of  the\nrevolutionary kind unmasks. It pledges\nitself \"to conduct all the public affairs\nplaced in its hands  in such a  manner\nas   to   promote   the   interest   of   the\nworking class alone,\"  thus openly renouncing loyalty to the community.    It\nbreathes the most intense class hatred,\nand plainly looks forward to the use of\nforce.    \"Our aim,\" it says,   \"is to use\nthe ballot to obtain control of the government,   to range on  the side of the I\nworking  class all the forces now used\nagainst us.\"   This is an angry dream; I\nunfortunately   the   growth   of   class I\nhatred and its consequences, social and |\npolitical, are a growing  reality.     Not- J\nable is the  number of   foriegn  names\namong the Socialist leader^.\nIt is idle to discuss Socialism any\nfurther unless the Socialist will put\nbefore us a distinct plan of the constitution, social and political, which he\nproposes to form, and of the mode in\nwhich the transition to it is to be\neffected. At present, while we are\ntold that the state is to be everything,\nwe are never told who or what is to be\nthe state. Nor have we been plainly\ntold what is the Socialists' fundamental\nprinciple. If it is that implied in\nJefferson's saying that \"all men are\ncreated equal,\" nothing can be more\nmanifestly false. No two men are\ncreated equal. The inequalities of\nevery kind, physical, intellectual, and\nmoral, are infinite, and have given\nbirth, as they would again give birth,\nto inequalities of success and condition\nin life. Could Socialism undertake to\nroll us all flat and keep us so? The\nfact is that it is not in the constructive\nbut only in the destructive part of\nSocialism that any meaning is to be\nfound. In intention the destructive\npart is lively enough. Happily for the\nmass of us talking is not fighting, and\nballots are not bombs. There are, of\ncourse, Socialists of a mild and benevolent class, but with them Soc'alism\nseems to be little more than a dream.\nThey do not give us their plan, and\nwhile we sympathize with there aspirations, as we do with those of the\ncharming author of More's \"Utopia,\"\nin discussing the policy we are grappling with a phantom.\nThough late from the presses the\nJune issue of Westward Ho! with its\nsplendid stories and illustrations is by\nfar the best number yet turned out.\nCy Warman has a capital story \"The\nHeathen\", and Roy Horniman, an\nequally well known magazine writer,\ncontributes an amusing phantasy of\nthe future \"No Ball\".

Beasley, general\nk superintendent of the E. & N. Railway,\nannounced that a contract had been let\nfor the clearing of 350 acres of land in\nthe Qualicum district, and that the\nwork was satisfactorily under way.\nNegotiations were in progress also\nwhich, he expected, would result in the\nawarding of another contract for about\ntwelve thousand acres.\nIn referring to the E. & N. 's plans\nwith respect to Qualicum Mr. Beasley\nasserted that it was believed that it\ncould be made the centre of a well\npopulated and very prosperous farming community. Anyone settling on\nany part of the district to be cleared\nwould be within easy communication\nwith outside points. When the Alberni branch of the Island road was completed he would be within two miles\nof the right-of-way and when the projected railway to Comox was in operation he would only have to ship his\nproduce one half a mile before coming\nin touch with an artery by which he\ncould reach any market that he might\ndesire. Besides he could use the Comox wagon road or ship his goods by\nwater. So there were four distinct\nmeans of transporation and, besides,\nexperts had declared that the land was\neminently adapted for fruit culture.\nAll these facts taken into consideration the E. & N. officials were sanguine\nthat their project would prove most\nsuccesslul.\nAsked whether it was the intention\n*^ ro institute similar operations in other\nsections along the E. & N. railway Mr.\nBeasley said that the general scheme\nwould not be continued until after the\nexperimental work, that in progress\n~ rrffwyhad sufficiently developed to permit thesa in charge to judge the possibilities. It was likely, however, that\na small holding in the neighborhood\nof Ladysmith, in addition to that already being cleared there, would be\nopened up as soon as the contract was\nawarded.\nDuring his visit to the Island, Mr.\nBeasley made an inspection of the\nwork in progress on the Alberni extension.
