The money picked up by the wise fanner boy during the fur season, to sav nothing of ilie professional trapper revenue, i.s something that would make a great many people sit up and lake notice When the European War commen-, ced raw fur weut on the dowuward 'urn aud il was just one year ago that it was hardly worth while to skin these small fur Iwarers and ship their fur, but siuce the surplus carried over from the raw tur season of [913-14 lias been consumed and the supply and collection of 1014.15 has also heen consumed, I the supply at the present time equ-1 als the demand and consequently j with the possible exception of mink ! the prices have none upward and > trapping today is a mighty profit- able occupation.

Governmet Sends Lumber Commissioner to Europe Tlie heavy orders lor lumber for the United Kingdom placed through the Provincial Government during tlie past .snninii'i- .is tin- nsiilt ..1 Uie visit of Lumber Commissioner McMillan to Kurope show whnt results can be obtained by Government action in assisting the lumbering industry. In order t.. follow up tlu* advantage already gained in this new line .1 work tli_ Hon, W. R, Ross announced yesterday that the Provincial Government is sending a business representative ..I the industry to Loudon. Investigation lias already shown that before tlie European market can be entire.i, on any scale, by our manufacturers a grcit .leal of preliminary work must be done in explaining to buyers tlie qualities ami methods of manufacture ol our britisli Columbia woods. There are many misconceptions which are very prevalent mul whicli act as a barrier to the Introduction of our lumber products. These can only bu overcome by energetic personal work niuong the buyers by a representative thoroughly conversant with every phrase of our lumbering industry. Again, there are many trade requirements which are 1 designed to meet tlle case of Swedish I and Russian lumber but which are not j properly applicable to the very different species of the Pacific Coast. Iu many! such cases slight modifications of the. customary specifications would not affect the interests of the Old Country buyer | in any way, wiiiie they would cheapen production here, and so enable tlie saw mills of this Province to quote lower prices and secure a larger share of this trade. Through general work of this character the Provincial Lumber Commissioner will be of considerable assistance not only in prepraing the way for future developemeiits but also by cooperating with the various brokers and agents who represent the interests of British Columbia lumber firms now doing bu.si41e.ss in the United Kingdom markets. So active has beeu the campaign conducted by American shippers, and so largely have they increased tlieir representation ill Europe recently that tlie Minister of Lands has decided that a strong effort is necessary to counteract this action antl protect British Columbia business. Mr. J, C, Woods, the well known lumberman, has been appointed as the new Lumber Commissioner to the I'nited Kingdom. Mr. Woods has long been Intimately connected with the lumber business of thecoast. After being manager of of the Leamy and Kyle Company, one of the first mills at Vancouver, he became Manager of the Moodyville sawmills, and was for many years engaged in the cargo export trade, an experience which is of particular value ill view of his present mission. Mr. Woods was subsequently owner and manager of the firm of Woods and Spicer, shingle manufacturers. He thus brings to bis task a thoroughly practical knowledge of all branches of the industry whose interests he will further in the European market. The new Commissioners duties also include the carrying out of various arrangements made with the Ilritish authorities in connection with lumber orders placed through fhe Department. ),"'''' Big Money In Trapping Fur Bearers A 13. Shubert, Inc., Chicasro, the largest house in the world dealing exclusively in American raw furs, in a letter to The Review says in part as follows:���"Does the average farmer stop to consider the thousands and even millions of dollars that are paid out every year by the large fur houses for skins of tbe 'farm yard pests'? The mini* a meuauce to tlie chicken coop, the However, many a dollar is lost j to the man who does not Acercise ] good judgement and common sense in gathering his collection of raw fur. How many thousands and ] thousands of uiiiskrats, skunk, raccoon and other fur bearers are taken off of the animals most auy old way and no care given to tlie skinning and stretching. A man will be Weil paid for the time spent in putting his raw furs in the best condition possible You cannot make furs look too good, As most everyone knows, the time to trap is when the ftlr is prime. Nevertheless, main a thoughtless trapper seeks to kill the furbearers all summer. This practice should be stop-1 ped, as he might as well wait until the fur is prime as to kill tlie animals in the summer when t' eir fur is almost worthless. One peculiarity about the American raw fur collection during the season 1913- 14, is the fact that over three million muskrats as well as thousands ot raccoons, skunk and other fur- bearing animals were taken from the central states, namely Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, and Wis cousin WATCH This Space for Xmas. and Holiday Gifts Next Week CUMBERLAND Postage On Parcels To Troops In France The Department is in receipt of applications to have parcels addressed to our soldiers in France sent free or at reduced rates of postage, there evidently being an impression This will dispel all thought | that the Department has control of from the minds of those who 1111- j these rates and could do as it wish- Rgine tliere are no furbearers left iu ed, but this is not so, as the ques- thickly populated stats and it is ' also a fact that the furs collected from these stafes are bringing high prices, particularly at the present time wben we have such an excellent demand, Tlie golden opportunity of the farmer boy to pick up a neat pile of money in his spare time this winter should not be oyerlcoked and the exercising of a little 'common horse sense' will go a long wa^s towards determining the atnount^of his earnings.

Some s6kliers from the wireless station were out hunting in the woods along the shore where he lived, and hearing a groaning noise investigated, when they found the "general" John's faithful old steed lying fast in the scrub with'the cart overturned. They righted him and then looked for Mr. Hardy, but could not see him. They immediately notified John Knight and Mr. Bourne, 'ho instituted a search and finally found the old man in a field about 150 feet from Mr Radford's house, for which he had apparently been making, He was still alive and they hurried him to the hospital, but he passed away in a very few minutes after entering the doors, ar.d before the doctor could get to him. An inquest was held by Coroner Bickle but there was no evidence of foul play, and the verdict was death from exposure. He had been in Comox on Saturday afternoon and did not get away before dark, when he decided ] to wait until about ten o'clock when it would be moonlight, to go home. He must have either fallen off or got off the cart when about half way home, and the horse walked off and left him, as the wheel tracks showed plainly, and j John either got lost or became ex- ( hausted from walking, and laid i himself down to rest, and the cold j storm which came up about midnight so benumbed him that he was unable to move. Mr. Hardy was born in England i and was in the South American I war in 1863 with Gen. Forresis cavalry. He was afterwards drafted to California, and not liking llie I service slipped away and csme to I this district about 1870, first settling near where Recce's farm is now. Afterwards he and a part- j ner took up cairns at Pt. Holmes, ' the partner died and as neithtr of j them had registered their claims, I John had some difficulty in obtaining a title, owing to the government having granted the E. & N. Railway nearly aii the land in the district, A couple of years ago, when land was selling well, John disposed of his property for about $7,000 and has lived on his means ever since. Mr. Hardy while eccentric was quite shrewd. He was 69 years of age, and told some interesting old- time stories occasionally. He had no relatives iu this country and apparently nothing is known of his j antecedents in the old country. The funeral took place from ��� Sutton & Kirkwood's undertaking parlors today to the English church cemetery. Side of Work On Thursday, Nov. 25, the local branch of the Woman's Auxiliary held tlieir annual sale of work in the K. of P. hall, A number of ladies decorated tht hall and a very pretty effect was secured by the tasteful use of color schemes of red aud white.

Say I've never seen my name in print .so often before so I've wrapped 'The Review" up in silver tissue paper and sent it home, wont the Oover.or and the Mater be proud of H. D. But that reininns nie, I must explain to them that I am not in Mr. McKeu- eie's class, no fear, I'm in the "Dewey Did It" class. Quit fooling now, this is serious. It would be a whole lot better for "Orchard Residents" if Mr. McKenzie was in the class he places nie in, in his letter, then we might hope to get something done lor ourselves in this part of town. The trouble i.s, that when he, with the other Aldermen give tlieir time to the city without any financial I recompense, to criticise at all is j Invidious. However, Mr, McKen- , /.ie, just a word, lf, as you say, I you wanted street lights as badly I as the rest of us, why didn't you I make some attempt to get them for I us ? Miglitv little comes along 1 just by waiting for it. What about some of those fearful holes in our Orchard streets, that want filling up. An Orchard sidewalk would be well patronized, also a couple of -Ore! 1 ard streets graded, would improve appearances tremenduously, but we don't hear or read of any great effort being made on vour part to secure theni for us. Iu fact the only improvement I can think of that you have secured for "The Orchard," after almost a year of office, is a couple of loads of gravel at Mr. Perez's corner, and its uot a record to be proud of. I note that \\ 011 claim that you, along with some of the Aldermen, have finallv called "the bluff" of the Electric Light Company. Thats pretty rich, The one, and oulv thing that called "their bluff?" Mr. Mc Kenzie, was the petition praying for light, addressed to them direct by over fifty Residents and Property Owners of the Orchard., "Mr. Johnston" turn me loose, I've got no money but a good excuse. Shtire but that was a nice spicy little paragraph, at the end of your letter, about my not attending to business and making progress, You must really go easy Mr. Johnston, you're treading ou my corns, you see I have not got into my money making stride yet, they tell me however that it took you a long, long time to get into yours, so I'm just living in hopes. By the way, you are the most shameless prevaricator of the truth I've come across. You did say iu the open council meeting, exactly what I said you did in my last letter, for proof turn up "The Review" of Nov. 4 for report on council meeting, or ask any of the public who were present, and dou't try on again, in the public press, anv more subterfuges about being misquoted, or incorrect statements. The word insolent appears again in your letter of last week, but as any adverse criticism of yourself or the city council is invariably described by you as insolent, no one takes any notice of the expression from you. Mr. Editor, a few words of appreciation to yourself before I close You have allowed free u=e of your columns on this Orchard light question, and I wish to thank you tor your courtesy, Orchard Rest dents, after a good deal of trouble have secured what they wanted, light for the Orchard; and from now on as far as I am concerned, the incident is closed.
