L. Stewart; Entertainment, Choral and Dramatic,\nC. Harmon; Home and School,\nRev. Mr. Brayfield; Mr. Todd; as\nChairman of the Forum Committee,\nwill be especially interested in improving the Library and Reading\nRoom service, while Mr. Watson\nwill give particular attention to the\ncommercial enterprises of the\nLeague. These Chairmen will select from the league membership\npersons who are capable and desirous of assisting to direct the activities of the League. There is, therefore, plenty of scope for members to\nbecome actively engaged in com\nmuntty work.\nLecture Topic Is Chosen\nWith the expressed opinion of the\nP. T. A. to guide them, the Councillors decided to request the lecture\non \"Citizenship and Public Opinion\"\nas the Topic for Professor Boggs to\nspeak on here next May. Dr.\nBoggs is one of the Provincial University's most popular speakers\nand it is a matter for congratulation\nthat his many activities will not\nprevent this excursion into the\nNorth!\nPreparing for League of\nNations Day\nMonday, April 16th. has been\ndesignated as a day ot nation-wide\nobservance of the League of Nations\nactivities and the progress of the\nmovement for international understanding and world peace. A committee of representatives from patriotic and social organizations will\nshortly meet to prepare plans suitable for celebrating the day. Mr.\n. C. Harmon of the Council was\ndesignated by reason of his chairmanship as the League's delegate\nto the meeting.\nWill Operate Refreshment\nStand\nWhen the Bluebird Cafe closes\nits doors at the end of April the\nCommunity League will be ready to\ncater to a part of the trade in ice\ncream, light lunches, and after-\ntheatre refreshments. Furniture\nand up-to-date equipment will shortly be installed in the quarters adjoining the pool room. There is\nstill, however, an opening for a\nrestaurant to cater to the trade\nwhich this new venture and the\nvarious mess organizations cannot\nreach.\nTennis Club Plans Early\nStart\nThe Community League Council\nare prepared to help the Tennis\nClub to begin the season as soon as\npossible. An attempt will be\nmade to get rid of the snow now\nlying on the courts, probably by\nturning on the fire hose as steel\nshovels would spoil the surface.\nThe Council hopes to make\ntennis a real community sport by\ndoing all in its power to keep the\nclub dues down to a figure which\nwill be within the reach of all.\nAt the same time ensuring that\nthe club will be self-supporting.\nAs in the paRt, every effort will be\nDistrict's Sympathy For\nFire Victims\nThe fire tragedy, which occurred\nat Copper Mountain last week,\nwhich resulted in the loss of nine\nlives, four of the victims being\nformer Anyox residents, cast a\ngloom over the whole district last\nweek end. James Mackay, Pat\nDermody, Dan McPherson and W.\nUpjohn were all well known in\nAnyox, where they were held in\nhigh esteem. The two former each\nleaves a widow and family, and\nresided in Anyox for a number of\nyears. The sympathy of everyone\nis extended to their relatives in\nthis time of sorrow aud suffering.\nln addition to the above who\nperished in the flames, two former\nresidents of this distriot were seriously injured, and their recovery\nis doubtful. They are G. W.\n(Slim) Nelson, who followed the\noccupation of barber in Anyox and\nlater at Alice Arm, and Frank\nMealy, well known in baseball and\nsport circles of Anyox. It was reported locally during the week\nthat Slim Nelson has expired.\n.\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0080\u00A2M\nI\nANYOX NOTES\nAwake Again On Run\nThe launch Awake will resume the\nAlice Arm and Anyox run next\nTuesday.

She will leave Alice Arm at\n8 a.m, each Thursday instead of\n9 a.m.\nmade to encourage the ohildren to\nbecome proficient at the game.\nPlayer's Insurance To Be\nInvestigated\nThe Counoil has instructed the\nSecretary to make inquiries as to\nthe feasibility of undertaking a\ngroup insurance scheme for those\nwho take part iu the athletic contests sponsored by the League.\nSome hardships have been occasioned in the past through injuries\nreceived in sports. Tlie principle\nof group insurance might very well\nbe undertaken upon a more inclusive basis.\nGymnasium Insurance\nAdjustment Pending\nPresident Macintyre reported to\nthe Council that negotiations regarding '.he insurance of the gymnasium were proceeding satisfactorily. The matter is receiving the\npersonal supervision of the General\nSuperintendent. The gymnasium\nwas insured under the blanket policy\ncarried by the Granby Company\nwho have in the past defrayed the\npremiums. The amount to be received will probably be in the neighbourhood of ninety-five hundred\ndollars, depreciation and present\nconstruction costs being figured in\nthe adjustment.\nRelief To Allenby Sufferers\nSuggested\nThe Council has put toward the\nsuggestion that Anyox should share\nin the relief offered to the dependents\nof the men who perished in the\nCopper Mountain disaster. There\nis still over seven hundred dollars\nin the Patriotic Association relief\nfund. The citizens will be asked\nfor their approval of the proposal to\ndevote five hundred dollars of this\nmoney to the assistance of those\nfamilies whose supporters were cut\nott with such tragic suddeness.\n4 +.\u00C2\u00BB+\u00C2\u00AB. +...+......+ .S.+.S.+.S.4 \u00C2\u00AB.+\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00C2\u00BB\u00E2\u0096\u00A0+.*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 + \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0. + 4\nThe B.

MOSS, Kditnr and Publisher.\nThe newly appointed Minister\nof Mines, Hon. Dr. Sutherland, is\nafter the scalps of unscrupulous\nmining companies, judging by press\nreports. His efforts in this direction have our utmost support, provided that good common sense is\nshown in dealing with the matter.\nMining the public instead of the\nproperty is a great detriment to the\nindustry. It has been done, as\neveryone must admit, but during\nthe past few years this method of\n\"mining the public\" has been\nnegligible. The late Hon. Wm.\nSloan, through his resident engineers, kept a record of the prospect\nof success -of all newly formed\ncompanies, and we do not believe\nthat Dr. Sutherland can improve\nupon the methods of his predecessor. Buying shares in a mining\ncompany engaged in developing a,\nnew property is a gamble every\ntime, and those who invest must\nbe willing to take a chance.\nSometimes the best surface showings does not make the biggest\nmine. Often it happens that a\nproperty with indifferent surface\nshowings develops a big tonnage\nunderground, especially in the coast\narea, where usually a heavy overburden of dirt, slide-rock and vegetation covers the ground. If the\nMinister of Mines wishes to protect\nthe public, he could do so by keeping a check on the amount of\nmoney subscribed that is spent in\nthe ground, and what is spent in\noverhead costs, which includes,\ntravelling expenses, suites of luxurious offices, and an army of lounge\nlizards, acting in an official capacity.\nNo one minds very much dropping\na few hundreds of dollars if they\nare given value for their money,\nbut they do object to their money\nbeing used to provide whisky\nparties for a bunch of human\nleeches posing as mining men.\nAlice Arm has been fortunate, in\nlate years especially, in having\nmining companies in the district\nwho are honestly making an effort\nto develop a prospect into a mine.\nWe dont wish the \"mine the public\"\nvariety here at all, for they do not\nput any money into the camp, and\ntheir failure discredits the district\nand also to some extent those comp-\nPioneer Women To Be\nHonored\nNearly Hve hundred names of\npioneer women have now been\ngathered together for tho purpose\nof including thorn in the book\n\"Colonial Ladies of Vancouver\nIsland\", whioh the womens Canadian Club of Viotoria is sponsoring.\nThe book will make its appearance\nsome time next autumn, and it is\nthe earnest wish of the Club that\nnone of the names of the women\nwho came to Vancouver Island\nduring the period between 1843\nand 18G6 shall be left out.\nDecision Reached On\nOriental Question\nFollowing Premier MacLean's,\nplea for united notion on the part\nof the legislature in dealing with\nproblems of major importance, a\nunanimous decision was reached\nwith regard to the Oriental question. Briefly summed up, the resolution passed by the members\nseeks power for British Columbia\nto control the owning of land by\nOrientals and their admission to\nthis province. It was pointed out\nby members of both parties that\nthere should be no more Japanese\nand Chinese in British Columbia,\nconsidering population, than there\nare Canadians in Japan and China.\nOttawa is to be asked to take into\nimmediate consideration the seriousness of the Oriental question in\nthe Pacific province.\nConsolidated Profits Drop\nDue to Lower Prices\nThe Consolidated Mining and\nSmelting Company estimate of\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2their 1927 profits is $10,750,000,' a\ndecrease of $276,000 from the\nrecord year, 1926.\nIn view of the marked depression\nin the prices of metals, the showing reflects a substantial increase\nin the output over 1926.\nThe chief increases were in production of silver, lead and zinc, of\nwhich this company is the largest\nproducer in Canada. The low\nprice of these metals as well as the\nlower output of gold and copper\nhelped to bring down the profits.\nanies who are endeavoring to honestly develop the country. We do\nnot believe there is a better field for\ninvestment at the present time than\nmining. If one is lucky the returns\nare much higher than can be obtained in any other industry. If people\nare willing to take a chance with a\nfew hundred or a few thousand\ndollars, with the prospect of returns\nof one, two or three hundred per\ncent on their money in a few years,\nthe obstacles placed in their way\nshould not be too great.\nAlice Arm\nThe Bonanza Silver\nCamp of B.
