G., Saturday* April 28, 1923 5 cents eaoh. Homestake Mine to i . Operate Mr. H. J. Reade, who is one of the directors' of the Homestake Mining Coi arrived in Alice Arm on Thursday to investigate the possibility of an early resumption of operations at the Homestake. In an interview with the Herald Mr. Beade stated that operations this year' would undoubtedly be carried on, on an extensive soale, just how- large, he could not at the present time say, but definite plans for the year would be made upon the return of Capt. Gerhardi from London. ' English capital is now interested in the property, and development work will be speeded up. Mr. Reade, however, was certain that mining operations would, be . carried on within six weeks, and that a full force would be working 1 as soon as it was possible to transport supplies to the property. In order to facilitate the com- iJfcncement of operations, the first work.will be let by oontr.act. The [No. 1 tunnel will be continued [until the large ore body which has [beesuencoiiintered is Oross'-Cut. The [cross-cutting of this ore body will [prove up an immense body of ore. Work will then be carried oil in [the No. 2 tunnel, until the ore body lis also cross-cut. At the commencement, the Idriviug of the tunnels will be done jby hand work, but later a com- 1 pressor will be installed. * The Homestake is one of the I most promising iprpperties in the [Kitsault Valley. The ore carries ■copper, gold and silver. [Elk's Novelty Dance a Great Success On Friday, April 21st., the Elks Iheld a dance in their Hall, at which jthe "Brother Bills" upheld their [reputation of always putting up [something new and interesting. [The novelty part was hidden | amidst the decorations, which were | tpy balloons each carrying a num- Iber for a chance on a wheel of Ifortune. By pulling a string the Iballoons Were let loose then the ■dancers scrambled for possession |of one. - Then at intervals during the evening the wheel of fortune deoid- the winning numbers. The lucky holders who each leceived a box of chocolates were: Irs. W. Crerar; Mrs. J: Murdoch, fend Mr. W. Evans, At midnight Im excellent supper was, served the caterers being Messrs. J. Thompson Tind F. Whitaker. The music of Messrs. Liddel, Kaseler, Prevost and Tynmputh l.vas up to their usual high standard Anyox Community League Mold Smoker Speeches Given to Further Interests of League The Anyox Community League in conjunction with the Anyox Brass Baiid, held a smoker in the Recreation" Hall, on Wednesday evening. A large and valried musical programme was staged by well known local artists, and brilliant speeches were given by several speakers, who gave an outline of the activities of the League, and dwelt upon the urgent necessity of everyone in Anyox supporting the League. In spite of the inclement weather a large number of people were present. The band, comprising twenty pieces, under Jimmy Varnes opened the programme, playing in such a manner .that they had to respond a second time. Chairman Jimmy Esplin, ,in his remarks, dealt with the A. C. L. appeal for members', emphasising the fact, that the Band, a worthy organization, required more support; arid this support would be assured if the Community League had every English speaking resident of Anyox enrolled, as a member. '.'" 'Elr.'D, It. Learoyd,. School Principal Manzer, and Jdr. T. Simpson, all dealt enthusiastically on tho question of a wider display-of public spirit by the people of Anyox. The way to follow that teaching is to become a member of the A. C. L. thereby increasing the power of the League, which will then be in a position to foster the AriyOx Baud, which is an essential institution and should hot be allowed to disband. Your moral support of the baiid is wanted. Following is the programme; Selection by Band. Recitation. Fred Archer, "Cremation of Sam McGee." Encore, "Tie song of Elder Jones." ; Dance. C1°K Dance. J. Tierney encored. Song. "Three for Jack." , Max Morrow. A'ccompanied by H. D. Southam. Encore, ''A Gardener's Romance." Speech by T. Simpson. Two selections by the band. Recitation.

Present: President Lewis, Vice-President Callanan, Secretary ^Treasurer Townshend Councillors Mrs. Dwyer and Simpson. The minutes of the preceeding meeting were adopted as read on a motion by'Mr. Simpson, which was seoonded by Mir. Callanan. The Secretary's report stated that an Intermediate Baseball League had been organized, that an order for repairs to swings, etc. on the children's playgrounds had been issued, that' a joint meeting ,pjj' football baseball and Communi% Leagrie" Executives had been held and a' number of matters effecting slimmer sport discussed1.: .' It was agreed that the Community League should handle the grounds as in the past and do all things necessary to make the season successful. The League was to make all collections pay all expenses out >of same, and if any surplus remains at the con ohisipuof^^Jhe>Sp£^-season this will be divided three ways. The different-clubs were to; pay for their 'own baseballs, and these would riot be a charge against the receipts of the games, A - groundsman was thought necessary arid the matter was left to the judgement of the League with strong reoommenda' tions that soriie arrangements be made to have the grounds ready at all times. It was decided to make the admission to the gaihe ten cents which should be collected from everybody.; The appointment of umpires and referees was to^ be in the hands ofthe baseball and football executives, suggestions made being that the rate of pay should be $2.00 a game. The. Intermediate League was granted two nights a week. The nights of play were apportioned as follows: Baseball, Monday and Thursday; football, Tuesday and Friday; IntermeHiates, Wednesday and Saturday. A request was made to have, two dugoutsi built for the conveniences of players, which the League should authorize.

A good deal of discussion has been going on of late in the press regarding the departure of Canadians to the United States, and all kinds of figures have been given regarding the number of those crossing the line. However many there are departing, the fact remains that there should not be a single one. This country is big enough and rich enough to support a population of 100,000,000 people. Why so many people are leaving the country is for the federal and provincial -governments to solve, and the quicker Jit is solved and remedies applied to stop the outflow and turn the tide the other way, the better for us all. It is to the interest of everyone that the population of Canada be increased as much as possible. The more people we have the less the tax per capita. It was with a thrill of pleasure that the people of Alice Arm received the newsj last week that the government had decided to construct the Kitsault River bridge this year. We were fortunate that our member, Mr. H. F. Kergin, was recently in Victoria, and was thus able to personally impress upon the government the necessity of building a bridge this year. It is expected that the structure will be a permanent one, and will be built to serve the community for a good many years. There is no doubt that in the years to come we shall look with pride upon the bridge that helped to build our town, and after it is open for traffic we shall probably wonder how we ever managed to get along without it. The days of the boat ferry, cable ferry, and foot logs will soon be a thing of the past. We are progressing slowly every year in the matter of transportation, and are, by degrees realizing our hopes.

Financial and Market News Financial and Market News gathered . by private direct wires from the world's market centres by Burdick, Logan & Company, Limited 737, Granville Street, Vancouver, B. C. Special to the Herald Copper Copper market is quiet, with fair amount of inquiry. Prices are. firm, with little metal offering under 17 34 cents, and then only in order to keep in touch with the market. European inquiry is in moderate volume, and sales small. Both foreign and domestic buyers seem to be awaiting developments in the stock market to give them better indication of trend of American business during second half year. They appear to feel that unless March shipments are' as large as many expect them to be, there is little to be gained by making commitments ' at present with sufficient metal on their books to carry them for another two months. One reason for the comparatively small buying by Europe in the American market for the last week or so has been reselling by German fabricators. With Ruhr complications affecting their operations German' firms find their copper afloat yields them better "mark" profit at present exchange .rates than if they attempted to work it up in their own plants. Amount of copper thus appearing, while sufficient to satisfy considerably part of present British,' French and Scandinavian demands, is comparatively small in total aud with renewed buying in earnest will not effect the market materially. Oil London—P. C. Heyden, Venezuelan consul general at London, announces another oil gusher of 10,000 barrels daily at Las Flores, near Maracaibo, Veuezulo, on property of British Con trolled Oilfields. He intimated "Venezuela is rapidly succeeding Mexico as an oil source. "Not only around Maracaibo, but along both sides of River Orinoco eastward to the sea", he says, "they are finding ail in the northern part of Venezuela, soil is so full'of oil that people prod the ground with sticks and take away in cans all the oil they need," British Controlled shares rose from 10s, 7 l-2d. to 12s.

British coal output of 5,703,000 tons is the third consecutive wepk tonnage has exceeded 5,700,000 tons, Previous week's output was 5,721,000 tons.

Labor Conditions are Better Victoria April 24th.—Reports everywhere from the prairie provinces indicate that Premier Oliver has met with surprising support in the provincial fight for equal freight rates. Last .week he spoke at Calgary, Saskatoon; Swift Current, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge and was assured of the unanimous support of the prairie people. His prediction that British Columbia ports will be the most important in ten years and his clear explanation of the freight rate situation have stirred the business men and farmers of Alberta and Saskatchewan to the point where the three western provinces are now putting up a solid front in the fight for fairer treatment. Hon. John Hart, minister of industries and of finance, has about completed his inspection of industrial plants and makes the announcement that British Columbia is today in better condition than for ten years. Practically all the plants are working full blast and there is actually a labour shortage in some instances. In the latter connection the announcement comes from the labor department, under Attorney-General Manson that for the first three months of this year the government employment bureau placed 9,000 man and women in positions, or almost double the number of placements for the same period last year. 'Save the forests" week will be observed throughout Canada from April 23 to April 28, and following the recommendation of Hon. T. D. Patullo, pi'ovincial minister of lands. Ottawa has given instructions of the carrying out of an active campaign of protection during .that time. Already the British Columbia forestr branch has sent out a mass of literature and a determined effort is to be made to put down the loss from forest fires to a minimum this year. Last year's losses were staggering says the minister of lands, and only by the co-operation of every citizen can the forest wealth be conserved.

He hoped everything would be in readiness for the ..beginning ofthe season. Under the head of corresponds enoe, a letter was read from Mr. Stewart Steele, in which Mr. Steele asked the Council to accept his resignation as a councillor. As the band practised every Friday night, he found that he could not attend both band rehearsal and League meeting at the same time and do himself or the organizations mentioned any good. The resignation was accepted on motion of Mr. Simpson, which was seconded by Mr. Townshend. There was some discussion, over the meeting of the joint executive and what was done, and all agreed that the arrangements made were excellent. The results of the meeting were endorsed on a motion of Mrs. Dwyer seconded by Mr. Callanan. Mr. Townshend, under the head of new business, called attention to the fact that there were a number of people using the reading room who were not entitled to the ^privilege. He suggested that notices be printed and placed in conspicuous plaoes in the roading room stating that the reading room was supported by subscriptions and everybody was expected to contribute. The Seoretary was asked to frame something along this line, and the meeting adjourned. Big Sum for Roads and Trails in B. C.

THE CRITIC i This world is full of critics, Who strive with all their might To find the faults in others, But seldom they are right. They'll criticize the way you live, What'er you have to say; Your every action they Will watch— They know the proper way. They'll criticize the clothes you wear, The shoessupon your feet, Will tell you how to act Toward friends yon chance to meet. They'll criticize the work you do, Arid though it may sound funny, They'll even want to tell you The way to spend your inoneV, We all of us are critics; Yes, you ahd you, and I; We cannot stop our knocking No matter how we try. Think well before you speak, As yOiT wander on Life's way, And do the best you can, In your actions day by day. Look upon the brighter side, And always wear a smile; You will then be making friends That will be worth your while, Why then borrow trouble? ' . Enough will come your way; Better be cheerful-and happy, And pleasant all the day. What is, the use of worrying About troubles of any kind? All of us are going to die And leave this world behind. ■H"H-++++'H ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ m»+»V++++4+**+^+++++4-H-f+ AUCE ARM FREIGHTING Co. GENERAL CONTRACTORS BAGGAGE. FREIGHT. TEAMING. COAL AND WOOD.
