One of the\nmost far-reaching and important subjects discusned was the carrying on of\ni) Association's Annual Fat Stock\nShow.

Manifest Interest In the effort is being shown by the magnifi-\nnt cups which wero last year put\nup for annua! competition among the\nbetter class of animals. These handsome cups ure worthy of a place' in\nany Association's prize list by reason\nof their Intrinsic value and handsome\nlesfgn. The chief of th ss were presented by W. H.

W. Crawford, who resides at\nFairmont Hot Springs, has been president of the association since his election at the annual meeting in 1918.\nIn his capacity as manager of the\nHolland Estate he has controlled the\nlargest singly owned number of cattle\nin the district.

My servant will\nreceive orders to show you as many\npairs of brooches as you wish, though\nwhy you should wish to Inspect those\nI wore at Waterloo Is beyond the comprehension of Yours most truly, Wellington.\"\u00E2\u0080\u0094Toots.\nappointment of secretary-treasurer.\nThe reports showed the financial\ncondition of the Association to be very\nsound.\nThe secretary's report was as fol-\nthe lows In part:\nTho chief stock doings of local interest for thc past year have been the\nimportation from Alberta last spring\nof a number of registered Shorthorn\nunlmuls which were Hold to local\nbreeders.

Tliis ap\npears lo be one of the universal\nlaws. Nothing is given for\nWhich a price is not exacted.\nNature grants nothing without\neffort, lt is well that it is so,\nfor one cannot imagine development without the exercise of\nvigorous effort.\nTiie death of an old trapper\nantl prospector out in lhe lonely\nplaces of this district brings\nhome to us tlie lessons of the\nefforts put forth liy such pioneers. Often they arc counted\nof small importance In tlte actual affairs of life, and yet it is\nthrough such that tlie beginnings of progress are registered. Little do we think of the\ncontributions whicli such isolated individuals make lo the\nadvance of the country. Appar\nently they do little, but the hid\nden character of their work will\nbe duly revealed by time. Nature will give up nothing unless\nit be wrested from her and such\nindividuals as this old trapper\nand prospector, having accepted\nthe challenge, go out into the\nvastnesses of nature and there\ndo battle unnoticed, hearing no\nplaudits from the spectators,\nand receiving no encouragement from the populace. It is\nheroism of the first order, for\nit is neither born of, nor sustained by, abnormal situations.\nThis vast, country of ours has\nproduced many such pioneers\nwho were conteni to work and\nbuild for tiie sake of working\nand building. If the same spirit could be manifested amidst\nour so-called civilized life, instead of the feverish desire to\nbe something or do something\nwhich will attract the attention\nof thc crowd, this old world of\nours would be a sweeter and\nbetter place. We would salute\ntill tlie valiant ones wlio go out\nInto the fastnesses of nature\nthat her treasures may lie revealed and made accessible lo\nmankind.\nliy paring down the estimates the city council has been\nable to afford relief to the ex-\nlent of five mills on the dollar\niu the matter of city taxation.\nTlie council are to be commended in their efforts to economize\nand to keep well below the expenditure of last year. There\nis indeed a hue and cry everywhere to cut taxation to the minimum in an attempt to meet\nIhe uncertain days through\nwhich we are passing. Hut fears\nmay be groundless, the period may, after all, have nothing\nof uncertainly about it. Not\nconditions, but tlie citizen\nmay be al fault. In reality there\nis I lie same demand today for\nIhe exchange of production as\nthere was in 1914 and it is only a question of getting down lo\nbusiness, attending to business,\napd slicking to business. Pessimism must give way to optimism if progress is to be registered by this or any other com-\niiuinily. Undue pessimism, ra-\nther than prevailing conditions,\nis often the pressure that\ncalls for reductions and retrenchments, ftlany may feel\nihal the experience through\nwhich we are passing Is a new\none, but it is not so. The proh-\nrais facing us today are a repe-\nition, in greater or lesser degree, of those which have invariably followed national conflicts.\nIt is worth while considering\nwhether the public is really so\nmuch concerned after all about\nreductions in taxation or whe\nliter it is not a question of getting good value. In communities which clamor for tax reduction there is usually found the\nfeeling that the taxpayers are\nnot. getting value for their\nmoney. The people are not\naverse to paying if it can be\nshown to them that public\nof public affairs. Such worry\nis the common heritage of all\nmen who take life seriously.\nThe advice he offered was\nsplendid of its kind. Probably\nthe people are demanding more\nthan they can pay for. This\nhas been a constant condition\nof tho race and Is not peculiar\nto this province. Hut not one\ngrain of encouragement was\nhanded out; not one suggestion; not a single offer of help\nor inspiration. A natural resentment has appeared lu the\npotion ing body, and, somewhat\nIncensed, Ibe organization is\nplanning to lay scige. What\nIhis attitude will accomplish\nremains lo be seen, hut it is\nquite easy lo see Ihat the failure of these public bodies to\nfunction might bring the government to face a serious issue.\nThe spirit of co-operation must\nbe shown by the provincial authorities in view of the fact that\nit controls the methods and avenues of raising taxation. During the election campaign it\nwas stated in this city and in\nother places that aid would be\nextended toward the municipalities in regard lo the burden\nof taxation. Perhaps Ilie premier hopes to meet this pledge\nby the uncertain and hypothetical revenue from the sale or\nhandling of liquor, but the Union of Municipalities seems lo\nbe devoid of that faith which\nthe premier is projecting in this\nconnection.\nROYALYEAST\nis now made in\nsquare cakes.\nThe numtoet-o-t\ncaltcsinaivicta^e\nhas been reauceti\nf-omsixtofiw,\nut the five sqt.w/->\ncakes ate equal In\nquantity to the sik\nround cakes.\nEach cake is\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2wfaippffi!

The coal\nused will bo obtained from the Crow's\nNest PasB or from the Coalmont Colliery. Tiie Consolidated can utilise\nsuch a plant to special advantage, using the gas for roasting the sulphide\noro und for assaying and other furnace purposes; the benzol for operating motors und Internal combustion\nenglnesj tile tar as fuel; while the\ncoke would be substituted for that\npurchased from tlie Crow's Nest Puss\ncoking plants.\nIt Ib to bo lioiM-ii tiio Provincial\nLegislature of British Columbia will\nnot allow unother session to pass\nwithout stops being tuken to change\ntlie administration of coal, oil, and In*\nilustrlal minerals from the Lands De*\nliartment to the Mines Department, to\nwhicli lt properly belongs. The Mines\nDepartment lias tho technical men\ncallable of advising the government\nalong sane and business-like lines as\nto tho administration of these minerals. At present this feature of the administration of the LandB Department\nwould be considered a joke were It\nnot that lt ls having serious and disastrous effects on the province at the\nvery time following the war when\nthe widest field of nctlvlty should be\nencouraged. We know of coal discoveries which have been mado, hut the\ndiscoverers have said nothing about\nthem because they are not permitted\nto locate and operate them, and the\nopportunity of providing profitable\nemployment for hundreds of idle men\nis lost. Then the oil administration\nof the Lands Department prevents the\nemployment of a large number of men\nln prospecting and developing the possible oil areas on the Peace River. It\nis a Bolshevik policy, utterly un-Brlt-\nIsh, holding back development, and\nblighting the country with Its Russian\nsavor.\nThere are several iron and steel\npromotions under way, most of them\nwith the usual object of skinning the\ntaxpayer by government guarantees\nof bonds and other concessions. It\nwould be well If the government and\nmembers ot the Legislature watched\napproaches from these quarters with\nconsiderable suspicion. One British\nCompany, already the owner of large\nIron and steel works In another part\nof the British Empire, Is in the field,\nwith ample capital, asking no government subsidies. This Is the kind of\nenterprise that Is wanted. The eetab\nllshment of the industry by people\nwithout capital or experience can only end ln dismal failure, which will set\nthe Industry and the province back for\nyears. One of the most difficult problems In connection with such an Industry is to find a market for the surplus over the small amount required\nto meet the demands of home consumption. That problem can only be\nsolved by a firm ln the business and ln\ntouch with the worlds markets' The\nCoast Iron and Steel Company has\nhad a good deal of newspaper publicity, but tts directorate has not a\npractical man on the board; and certainly some of the publicity matter\nsupplied to the press is utterly misleading- It Is stated strong English\nand American capital ls behind the\nenterprise, but no proof of this has\nbeen given and we must say for one\not tho englneors who came here from\nEngland to Investigate matters that\nhe left an unfavorable impression.\nTho British Empire Steel Corporation\nulso has the matter under advisement;\nhas selected Union Bay on Vancouver\nisland as thc best site for the industry; and thle company, with the other\nllrltlsh company referred to, ore the\nmost likely promotions to ensure success of the enterprise.\nKNIGHTS OF PVTHIAS\nMeets every Tuesday at I i m la\nt\u00C2\u00BB* Fraternity Hall\nO.

It is stated that there\nIs ono farm iu eaeii of the provinces\nof Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Ontario, two in Nova Scotia,\ntour In Quebec, two in Manitoba, three\nIn Saskatchewan, two in Alberta aud\nfour in British Columbia. There are\nalso two sub-stations in Alberta, two\nIn the Yukon und one In British Col\numbla. In addition, working with tlie\nsystem are tobacco stations at Farm\nham, Quebec, and Harrow, Ontario.\nAt all of these experimental and re-\nsearch work of national Importance is\nended on. Eighty illustration or demon! ration stations have also been\nestablished In New Brunswick, Nova\nScotia, Quebec, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Each branch of agriculture\nis dealt with in actual experiment,\nand lho results are made public\nthrough tlie press and by means of\naddresses, demonstrations, and exhibits.
