Two Hockey Games Played Alice Arm League Two games were played in the Alioe Arm Hookey League during the week. The first game was on , Sunday afternoon, when the Timber Wolves and Tigers mauled each other for three periods, at the end of which the Tigers emerged victorious with a 7'3 soore. Four of the Tigers \\Vere on the ice at the face-off, and the services of Gus. Anderson were enlisted, while J. Wilson acted as spare. Both did excellent work, and the Tiger's victory was due to a large extent to their efforts. A. D. Yorke acted as spare for the Timber Wolves, anJ he was responsible for breaking up repeated rushes of the Tiger's forwards. It was a fast and furious game, and the Timber Wolves had much more of the play than • is denoted by the soore. They fought gamely to the end and repeatedly came within an ace of scoring, but the goddess of luck had deserted them. The improvement of goal-keeper Aubusson alsowas a factor in keeping down the score. He is fast learning the art of how to keep the puck from the back of the net. It was a hard, stern tussel witty the ice in good condition and players and fans thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon's sport. Teams, Timber Wolves; J. Hanna, goal; Smith defence; Cromp- to'i, Hutton, Erickson, Yorke, forwards. Tigers: Aubusson, goal, Anderson, defence; Butler, DeGruchy, Wilson, Moss, forwards. On Tuesday evening the two town teams, Wildcats and Tigers | closed with each other, both trying [to outskate and outscore their opponents at every opportunity. It was the first game of the season that the Tigers could place a full team on the ice, and they made a much better showing. The Wildcats won by a score of six to three. T. W. Falconer, the king-pin of the team made his debut for the Tigers, and his presence gave the team considerable encouragement. The game started with a whirlwind rush by Wildcats, who soored four goals in the first period, before the Tigers had settled down to systematic playing. The Tigers had tlieir wisdom teeth cut in the first period, and in the two following they scored three goals against the Wildcat's two. It was a fast exciting game, with both teams plunging into the frtiy like untamed colts. The whole hag of tricks eaoh player possessed was turned loose, and the result Brought the fans to their feet on several occasions. The Wildcats had the advantage >vor their opponents throughout riost of the game, They are active iggregation, swift and aggressive, A'ith an eye on the goal all the time rhey displayed flashes of oombina jiion play during the latter part of Rev. Hacker, Prince Rupert Preaches United Church Rev. Geo. G. Hacker of Prince Rupert visited the United Church on the occasion of the third Anniversary of the New Church. On Friday afternoon Mr. Hacker addressed the Girls' Group on the subject "Ordinary. Girls." On Sunday morning he spoke to the Sunday Sohool and at the Evening Servioe preaohed an eloquent sermon covering the great and effective missionary of the United Church of Canada. During the Service the pastor made an appeal for $400.00 for the Budget Fund. This account is needed in order to meet the payment on the churoh debt and the allocation of the Maintenance and Extension Fund. Officers Elected for Christ Church The Annual Parish meeting of Christ Church was held on Wednesday evening. The following officers were appointed and elected for the year 1927. Mr. F. C. Graham, Rector's Warden; Mr. W. J. E. Pamplin. People's Warden; Vestry: Messrs. Morkill, Yard, Anderson, Upjohn, Hand Mrs. Brayfield. The meeting was a .very- harmonious one.

Sam Wilson, who has been employed at Housley,s logging camp left on Monday for the south. game, and the players are learning to keep their positions instead of roving over the ioe. The Tigers played their best game of the season, and a few more such games will undoubtedly witness a vast improvement. They have been handicapped by playing a mixed team in every game, but now that the team is at full strength, with each man playing in a regular position, it is not unlikely that they will #Ve the Wildcats a jolt in the near future. Teams, Wildcats: Williamson, goal; Yorke, defence; Anderson, Wilson Foster, forwards. Tigers: Aubusson, goal; T. W. Falconer and Butler, defenoe; DeGruchy and Moss forwards. Owing to a rise in the temperature, and the heavy rains prevailing since Tuesday night's game, no more games have been possible. The sohednle will be continued as soon as skating is again available at the rink. ANYOX NOTES Mrs. A. La Fortune and children left last week on holidays to be spent in Victoria. Mr. G.

Beach Athletic Club Hold Successful Smoker Tunney-Dempsey Pictures On Monday evening, a smoker was held in the Recreation Hall, at whioh a very interesting programme was put on by the members of the Beach Athletic Club who were able to bring before the view of the general public, the results of their endeavors in training the local juveniles in the noble art of self defence, which spoke very well for the Club during the short time it has been iu existence. The Hall was crowded to seating capacity. Mr. E. Craggs acted as referee for the evening,and Mr. J. Crow tickled the ivories and helped to make the evening a success. The bouts put on by the Athletic Club were spider Dresser versus Midget Scott for 3 rounds; H. Johnston versus B. Gillis in a Blindfold bout. This caused much amusement to the audience, a bell was used on each boxer alternately for the first two rounds. The fourth event was staged by «Foxy Davis aud T.- Calderoni for three rounds, and the next bout was between Battling Brown and Speed Johnstone. ^ This event was fast and considerable skill and endurance was shown by both boxers.

Fast Games are Feature of AnyOx Basket Ball League In the best game of the season the Celtics came through with an unexpected win over the experienced Mine senior team, 40-26, on Friday the 21st. The game was unusually fast, both teams displaying a smooth working combination. Jimmie Mitchell's proteges however, were more effective in penetrating the opposing defence, and locating the basket. At half time the score was 19-7. The game was marred towards the end by the unsportsmauable conduct of some of the Mine players. Mine: Lane, Halverson-5, Stubbs, Brown-7, Evans-2, Corkle- 4, Lipski-8. Celtics: Lindgren-13, McDonald- 8, Clay, Lazoreok-6, Asimus-9 Mitchell-4. E. Barclay.

E. MOSS, Editor and Publisher. The following is taken from the editorial columns of the Engineering and Mining Journal, published in New York, and is one of the best written articles on the copper situation published in recent times. "Theory often appears to be exploded; but theory correctly predicated on economic law always will prevail. The trouble is that reasoning is not always sound. One hears the statement made repeatedly that "the price of copper is abnormally low." The argument generally ad vanced is that, whereas lead, zinc oil, wool and steel and a dozen other basic commodities bring from 15 to 100 per cent, more than they did in 1913, copper is actually selling for less. Therefore the price of copper is below "normal"! Or, it will be contended, that as $1.50 is required on the average to buy commodities that cost $1 in 1913, the "normal" price of copper today should be half again as high as it was in 1913. Neither course of reasoning is sound. "It is true, of course, that the existence of some over capacity in equipment for production has created a buyer's rather than a seller's market, and this has a tendency to depress the price slightly. But this influence is not of sufficient moment persistently to keep the price down in material degree. In a free, broad, and competitive market like that of copper the price will always be in the general neighbourhood of "normal"; this is true in theory, and strong evidence exists to show that it is true in fact. The normal price for any commodity, by definition, is the approximate cost of production at a given time of that part of the whole supply that is produced at the greatest disadvantage. This is known as the marginal production. "A moment's reflection shows clearly why the normal price of copper in 1926 is measurably less than the. normal price in 1913. Improved methods of mining, concentrating, and smelting, and increased outputs from individual properties, with consequent economy; these have reduced the cost of production in spite of higher wage scales and generally increased commodity prices. Necessity for efficiency may have been more dire than in the instance of other metals; but whatever the reason the achievement is remarkable. Moreover, the development of many large new- mines with low production costs, has enabled the industry to meet soaring consumptive demand with low-cost metal. As a consequence the cost of the marginal production instead of being increased, has been lowered. Right here, incidentally, lies the reason for the advance in lead price; the cost of the marginal production has increased. "So much for theory—for eco nomic law. What are the practical evidences that the price is not far from normal? Profits and dividends. Recent months have seen dividend payments resumed by some, increased by others. A large part of the Copper mining industry ap parently is prosperous. "At the same time a tendency is apparent toward increased output on the part of many producers, particularly the "low-cost group in North and South America. If future increases are important, and if world consumption lags behind, it is conceivable that the "normal" price will be lowered still more. It may follow that the present marginal producers will find themselves pushed over into the class that cannot even make ends meet. "Some of the low-cost group have operated at curtailed capacity for several years, seemingly for the purpose of nursing the market. Have they concluded that they can do better by increasing production even at the expense of a possible depression of the average price? A profit of 4^ cents per pound on 20,000,000 lb. is much better than a profit of 5c. per pound on 17,000,- 000, especially when the depletion of ore reserves is not an important factor. A complication of course arises from the fact that some companies are interested in both high- and-low-cost.producers. "If the process of shutting down and restarting a mine were not so exceedingly expensive it is probable that operations at some of the higher cost properties would be suspended if the policy were to be adopted generally of pushing output at the low- cost properties to the maximum. It is to bo assumed in making this statement that consumption does not expand proportionately with increased production. It is possible that it may be found advisable to shut down in spite of the immense cost. Whatever may happen, they will be deceiving themselves who argue that the price of copper is far below "normal." They had better not rely on return to normality. The best they can hope for is a readjustment in supply and demand that will establish a new normal at a higher level. W. B.
