C. kvas held at the Recreation, Hall, >n Friday evening the 14th inst. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Anyox Community J League and the School Board, and President Robert Armour was in the chaif. After the. chairman's opening remarks, he called upon Mr. H. S. ■ Munroe^ General Manager-, of the I Granby Consolidated Mining, 'Smelting & Power Co., Ltd.,, who (said iii part: "This is taking an iunfair advantage of me as I do not ..know what it is all about. I was lunder the impression that Mr. Pinder-Mpss \\yas going to outline the whole scheme, and I would tell jyou aU what a good thing>it was." You have all seen the curriculum and the Granby Company is most .anxious to oo-operate in every possible way to niake thesev schools ja success, and I hope they will be [received with enthusiasm and that [this enthusiasm will last throughout [the whole term." Mr. H. R. King, chairman of the Anyox School Board, gave a brief review on the work of the Technical Classes in Anyox. He stated • that two years ago we had our first class of forty students, who took up Minerolgy, Smelting, etc. This class was very successful and the students were thoroughly satisfied. The second year we had many more classes and students, so the School Board engaged Mr. Lambert to'find a Director for the f Technical work when he was out on his vacation this summer. Mr. Lambert obtained the services of Mr. John Pinder-Moss who has had wide experience in Polytechnic I classes, and his work is proving very satisfactory. Mr. W. H. Lambert, Principal of the Anyox Schools, spoke on the co-relation of technical and theo- I retical work. Ho contended that I although theoretical worlds largely a failure, yet the facilities of this town (tho Coke Plant, Hospital, etc.) depended upon the theoretical m .work done in the schools. He pointed out that 44 per cent' of the pupils graduating from Grammer Schools do not reach the High Schools and University graduates are forced to work for very small salaries, owing to lack of technical knowledge. He stated that Classics, Mathmatics, Modern Languages and Technical. Training should be incorporated in every ideal school, and the night schools as outlined by Mr. Pinder-Moss are based on the best system in the world—the system now used in England. , , Mr. Pinder-Moss stated that 2.1 per cent of the population is all that reaches the universities of Canada and the United States. Mr. Lambert.had stated that 44 per cent, of the pupils never reach High School, but from figures received from Washington, Mr. Pinder-Moss shows that 63 per cent, do not reach the High School. Mr. Pinder-Moss further pointed out that although 6000 were unemployed in Vancouver, and 10,000 in Montreal were clamouring for 100 jobs in the Harvest Fields on the Prairies, yet from statistics, there is no unemployment to any appreciable extent in Germany. Germany for the past fifty years has been leading the education of the world. The indemnity which France paid in 1870 was used for the rejuvenation of the educational system. In Leipsig there are forty Technical Schools and and one High School. In Winnipeg and Toronto there are about five or six High Schools and two Technical Schools. In Edmonton there are five High Schools and one Technical School. Anyox now has one High Sohool and one Technical School, a properly balanced ration of education. In closing the meeting, Mr. Armour, President of the Anyox Community League, speaking for himself and the Council stated that they were anxious to co-operate in every way possible to make the Polytechnic a success. The League, orchestra rendered several much-appreciated selections throughout the evening. Ladies Tennis Championship of Anyox Won by Miss A. McMillan Mining News of Alice Arm District On Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. D. Deane and Miss A. McMillan, played off the finals for the Ladies championship of Anyox. Jupiter Pluvius was kind and turned off the rain for half a day. Both ladies were in fine form and played a keenly contested game, which created quite a little enthusiasm amongst the spectators, the score running close all the way through. Mrs. Deane taking the lead in the first game. Miss McMillan taking the second. Not until the last minute could anyone say who was to be the winner, the contestants having equal share of the honours. The final score was 7 to 5 in favor of Miss McMillan. Both ladies were recipients of congratulations of the crowd at the close of the game. Miss McMillan for winning and Mrs. Deane for the excellent fight she put up. 1/ Col. C. W. Peck, V.C„! ex-M.P. for the Federal riding of Skeena, will be an independent candidate in the election oampaign now in progress, V ' "I want to go back, to Ottawa with my hands free to deal with any situation that may come up, concerning the north country irrespective of party," he stated. Alice Arm School Is Completed The public School which was finished on Friday, is now ready for occupation and it is expected that school will be held there on Monday. The main room is 23ft. by 29ft. inside, and an ante room in front, 10ft. by 14ft. Toilets, wood-shed and coal bin are situated at the rear of the school room, and a closet has been built in the school room for the storage of school supplies. The inside of the building downstairs has been V-jointed and varnished throughout, and " big windows, give lots of light. The living quarters for the teacher is upstairs and this has been' beaver-boarded and tinted and makes a very pleasant room indeed. The public library of Alice Arm will be Ideated in the New School, under the supervision of Miss Boa. The school, now it is completed, is a great improvement over the old quarters in the Anglican Church and is a credit to any town the size of Alice Arm. Great credit is due to the public spirited citizens of Alice Arm for the energetic manner in which they carried the project out. The School cost in the neighbourhood of $2500. ' A play platform, 20ft. by 24ft. will be built in front of the school as soon as possible, for the use of the children. Moose Mine to Work Throughout Winter Work at the Moose Mine at present consists of outside work. Ore bunkers are being built, so that ore taken out of the mine during development work will not be wasted A winter supply of fuel is being cut and all outside Work is being finished up before the heavy show falls. According to present plans, a small crew will be worked on the property doing development work throughput the winter. Work on cross-cutting the ledge in the lower tunnel will be resumed as soon as outside work is completed. ThisJ cross-cut, at present shows the lead to be 18 feet wide. feet of stripping has been done at one point on the lead and shows the ore body to be about 70 feet in width. An open cut of 45 feet has also been made about 1000 feet distant from where the stripping was done and the cut is not yet across the ore. The Last Chance joins the Moose mine, and it is believed that it is the same ore body on which development work at the Moose proved so successful this summer. Tunnel on Last Chance In About 55 Feet The tunnel being driven oil the Last Chance by Archie McPhail and Pat Morley, is in about 55 feet and- it is expected that ore will be encountered at a distance of 200 feet, and the depth obtained will be about 175 feet. The tunnel will cross-cut the ore body, which has been traced on the surface for about 1000 feet. , Three hundred A tunnel is being driven by Mr. Pete Anderson on the Vanderhopf and Columbia claims situated on Clearwater Creek and he intends to work there throughout the coming winter. All* supplies are on the ground, and Pete "Expects to show up a big body of ore before next spring. Mr. Louis Reynolds, accompanied by Dan Kennedy, spent several days this week doing work on the Dixie No. 1, which is situated on McGrath mountain. Louis brought down some fine specimens of ore which he is haying assayed. There are some first-class showings on the property, one lead being 40 feet wide and has been traced on the surface for a distance of over 300 feet. It is ideally situated, being only a few miles from town and at a low. elevation. Well-known Residents of Alice Arm Leave the District Mr. and Mrs. George Pratt, who were two of the oldest residents in Alice Arm, left town this week to reside on their ranch in Oregon. Mr. Pratt, who is over seventy years of age has been troubled for a considerable time with cancer in the eye and his failing eyesight made it impossible for him to follow mining any longer. Mr. and Mrs, Pratt have been residents of Alice Arm since 1909 and formerly lived in a cabin where the Hotel now stands. He sold this property in 1916 to Mr. Ole Evindson, and moved across the bay, where he has resided ever since. He has sold all his mining interests at Alice Arm, with .the exception of the property above the Esperanza mine, in which Mr. Ralph Ingraham has taken an half interest. Patronize our Advertisers Work on Government Wharf Has Started Mr. W. T. Muse, who arrived from Prince Rupert last Friday, has commenced work on the government wharf at Alice Ann. The two outside bents of piles have their footings under water, which necessitates the use of a diver. The diver arrived on Monday and commenced operations the following day. The holes for blasting the footings under water will be drilled with a 30ft. steel, so that it will be possible for the drillers to work above water. Footings for the piles above low water are being blasted out. The Prince Albert is bringing up piles, lumber, etc. for the construction of the wharf and is expected to arrive at any time. x If you've anything to sell, advertise it in the Herald and turn it into money.

Pinder-Moss, A.EI.C. as organizer, has prepared an elaborate programme for the coming winter, and it is hoped he will get the whole-hearted support of the citizens of Anyox, so that the programme will be carried out successfully. There are fourteen different departments of learning. Teachers have been appointed, and the dates, meeting places, and time have been settled for the various classes. This is an age of learning. Everyone is clamoring for knowledge that will enable them to better their position in life, and there will be no excuse for anyone in Anyox if they fail to take advantage of the splendid opportunity that is now open to them and enroll in one of the several classes of the Polytechnic. The long winter evenings can be spent in no better way than the acquiring of knowledge. It is always the one that knows a little more than the other fellow that gets promotion and he is the one that holds a job when times are slack and the staff is being reduced. There is no royal road to learning. It is acquired by sheer hard work and the person that thoroughly studies and masters the subject he undertakes this coming winter will have acquired knowledge that will benefit him all his life. Granby Company Investigating Coal Fields Engineers representing the Granby Co. have recently been investigating coal and iron deposits on the Copper River, which is a tributary of the Skeena. It is well-known that the Cassidy coal does not make a good, coking coal when used by itself and it has been necessary to import coal from Alberta to mix with it to produce a coke suitable for smelting the company's ores. By building a railway" about thirty miles in length the coal can be delivered at navigable water on the, Skeena River, so that from a transportation point of view it is particularly well located for a supply of coal to the company's by-product plant at Anyox. Report of Workmen's Compensation Board For 1920 The following is extracted from the fourth annual report, recently published by the King's Printer, Victoria. The operations of the Workmen's Compensation Board in British Columbia for the year 1920, covered 113,000 workmen with a pay roll of $132,000,000. During 192Q, 1417 new firms were added to the list of employers, while 869 were cancelled, leaving a net increase of 548. Of every $100 collected from the employer, $95.92 goes directly to the workmen or their dependents without any expense whatever to them. After four years' operations of the Act the reserves amount to $,1,715,854.02. This amount includes an item of $15,000 per year (now amounting to $60,000) which has been set aside as a catastrophe reserve to protect against a possible catastrophe that may occur and which may not be attributable to or be a proper charge against any single class of industry. During the year 1920, 20,905 accidents were reported, of which 20,689 were non-fatal and 216 were fatal. This number does not include several thousand trivial accidents in which first-aid service only was rendered, and in which there was no doctor required or time lost and no claim made. There were fewer fatal accidents in 1920 than any year, since the Act came into force. During 1919 there were 277 fatal accidents reported; in 1918 there were 240 and in 1917 there were 217 fatalities, or an average of 237 for the four years. Since the present Act came into effect on January 1st, 1917, a total of 74,323 non-fatal claims have been filed and 950 fatal accidents reported, Arising out of the fatal accidents, pensions have been granted in 440 cases to dependents. There is now a total of 1,326 persons receiving monthly pension cheques resulting from fatalities of tho four years. By reason of thirty-four widows of deceased workmen having remarried and been paid the statutory allowance of $480, further payments to them have ceased. Pensions however, in respect to the children of the first marriage continue until such children reach the age of 16 years, During the year 11,166 workmen received compensation in respect of lost time. Of the non-fatal accidents, 7,844 were such as did not necessitate a longer time" loss than three days. Medical aid, however, was paid in respect of same. The total amount paid on claims during the year was $1,711,637.29, being 23 per cent, more than 1919. This was due mainly to the increased volume of business and the increase in widows' allowances of 75 per cent., children's allowances of 50 per cent., and other dependents of 50 per cent. A total of 40,276 cheques were issued during the year to workmen, dependents, and in respect of medical aid. p44444444444~444+4+4444444444444444-44444444444444444' Reindeer Carcasses Shipped from Nome Three thousand reindeer carcasses averaging 150 pounds each, are awaiting shipment at Nome, to Seattle. The Nome company producing reindeer on a commercial scale, says it can ship the meat 2,500 miles by water to Seattle and then, distribute to the Middle West and also to the east so that reindeer meat, now growing in demand, can be sold as cheaply as beef. Last year, 1,500 carcasses were shipped to Seattle and placed in public cold storage terminals and then distributed over the United States.

Today we find group striving against group, class against class, the industrial and financial structure of the country assailed by false and unsound doctrines and. theories, while our great neighbour to the south. has adopted a trade exclusion policy directed against Canada's vast agricultural interests. The currencies of nearly every country in the world are depreciated. The Canadian dollar in the United' States is subject to a heavy discount causing a loss of over one hundred million dollars in exchange annually. Europe is overwhelmed with war debts—unemployment is acute — and the restoration to pre-war conditions is slow. ' , While Canada is in a.much more favorable condition than many countries, yet there is evidence of stagnation, instability, unemployment and lack of confidence. Taxes are heavy because of the country's efforts in the Great War, but have become burdensome on account of the misconceived policies and blunders of Governments that directed Canada's affairs prior to 1911. These conditions are largely the direct aftermath of the war, but they must be dealt with fearlessly and constructively. This is no time to consider experimental changes, or the theories of visionaries. This is no time for Crerar and his Free Trade policy. This is no time for King and his wobbling "charted" policies, varying with each provincial boundary. - It is the time to cling to orderly, stable Government , in the interest of all the people; to be guided by the experience of the past, proceeding upon lines that ' have been proven sound. It is the time to place the destinies of Canada again in the hands of a Government led by a sane, courageous Canadian who has safely brought the country through the trying years of reconstruction, and upon whom we can rely to retain and initiate policies in ( the interest, not of a group or class but of all the people. * It is the time to support Arthur Meighen and his Candidates. %tol\\Ml T^&xdju WAfiud The National Liberal and Conservative Party 61 Publicity Committee The Herald Job Department is Equipped for all kinds of Printing ►"+*»4,|**+'» +*♦■ +*•«+■••■♦ —■+**' 4 '•■+•*'♦'*'+•»• 4 ALICE ARM NOTES t +'»+.••+.#. ♦ .». 4-'+«* ♦'•'^■■■♦■•■♦■■■♦'■'♦■•| j Don't Forget To-morrow is Parson Rushbrook's Sunday at Alice Arm Children's Service, 10,30 a.m, Evening Prayer, 7.30 p.m. ALL WELCOME Mrs. H.
