The following is from the New* of that place: "If it costs between two and three hundred dollars to become president of a Conservative Association, how much will it cost to be elected to the provincial legislature ? In our opinion, it will take one month's output of a distillery and brewery, J the farm, and all the monev the wife has in the 'long stocking,' and j perhaps get badly left in the end.'

On Tuesday evening a meeting of those opposed to the incorporation of Courtenav as a city, was held in the Board of Trade rooms. The attendance was uot as large as was expected, Dr. Millard was appointed chairman aud he explained that while the Waterworks Company had no need for opposing incorporation, yet they did not think the time had come for Courteuay to incorporate as a city. Tlie area was too large, the houses were too scattered, and there was not nearly er.ougn inhabitants to equalize the assessment. Mr. Harrison said that all we would get, that we had not now, in the event of incorporation, would be the doubtful pleasure of paying for the services of a city clerk, a chief of police, aud a scavenger, and if we required any better|streets_and sidewalks than we have now, we would have to pay tor them extra. A petition, showing the objections to the area proposed to be incorporated will be prepared and circulated, and presented to the Proviudal Secretary in the near future. THE STATION SUBDIVISION, COURTENAY Some Gootl .ots At The Station The streets through the Station Subdivision are very shortly to be made these will run from the Cumberland road close to the E, & N. Station down to the Union Bay road close to the mill pond. Good large lots, SO x 120 feet can be had at the present time at $250 each. Corner r.ots S3 x 125 for _00. These prices will be raised shortly. Terms 1-4 cash the balance in 6, 12 aid 18 months, interest at 7 per cent, As the Union Bay road is fast becoming a favorite residential section of Courtenay, having a cheerful outlook and being the Island Highway, the town is certain to build up rapidly in that direction, consequently there will be a considerable amount of traffic in the streets up to the station and freight shed from that part of the town. This is a good opportunity for those who wish to start up in business later on, for those who want a good sized residential property close in, There are no other lots in Courtenay the size of these that can be bought at anything like the above prices.

Nobody ever fired a 32 bullet out ot a 38 caliber revolver unless'he was trying to shoot a double compound curve. Now, then, who does it lo li like? Like Wardrop, I confessed. By Jove, they didn't both do it- Antl be ditln't tlo it himself for two good reasons; be liad no revolver that night ami there were no powder marks.

This shows that they are increasing by 2,000 a year, the total now being 106,490. Nearly all of them live in good dwellings, they bave 326 schools, enrolling 11, 144 pupils; while in spite of their supposed susceptibility to dissase, the death rate has been cut to 21 per thousand in the 1110.. populous communities. They earn wages amounting to $6,000,000 yearly, and cultivate 60,000 acres. All this means that the Indians are being prosperously absorbed into civilization. The American system always was to confine the Indians strictly to the reservations. This no doubt protected them, but at the same time it prevented the growth of the spirit of enterprise and responsibility and thus could not be said to be successful. Canada exercises certain protective measures in dealing with the Indians, but allows them to shift freely for themselves in actual contact with civilization, The wisdom of this course is being abundantly justified.

The bees will soon begin to hum and buzz around on gaudy wings, and jolt us with their red- hot stings. The boy who is too tired and worn to help the old man plant some corn, will shovel for a fortnight straight to get a good supply of bait. The women will once more arise, the light of battle in their eyes, and clean the house from room to room, with mop and duster, rag and broom, while patient husbands seek the barn' and say such words as "gee" and "darn." The Spring is coming- let her cornel The hobo leaves the city slum, to roam through country fields and bogs, and dodge the same old' farmers' dogs. The agent, rested, full of zeal, comes forth with his impassioned spiel, with specious wiles and nerve to burn, and sells his patient safety churn. And now, by almost every mail, seed catalogues come by the bale, and men who deal in rust- proDf oats come forth, and bear away our goats. Such ills the vernal month will bring, and yet we're honing for the'spring! For sunny skies and budding flowers, soft winds, and plaiu and fancy showers! For warbling birds and growing grass, and heaps of nice fresh garden sass. RESTMORE HOTEL COURTENAY - B.C.

It was a shock to the people here to learn ofj the death of Mr. Musson who for some time has made his Editor Cnuurtenay lioview Sir:���8ini_ the diaouulon ro Local Option haa been brought to the fore, a few comments would not go limit", an a healthy dincumlon should help to brintr to light tlie merit* or otlierwino of Local Option. Mr. Idienn, in Mh defense of a "wet" B. 0, juMmrcB uh that in goody goody Ontario, tlio population is decreasing, whilo in B. C. nnd other w_tern Province* the population ii on the increase, and wilt continue to ho no. in latter part of hi* epistle ho tells us "blind nigs" step in with the abolition of public bars, hero aro two contradictory sta'ements, tlie one that Ontario is ' .ty, tlie population is de reusing, ho other that Ontario has not gone dry but has substituted "blind pigs" for tlie public ban. Oh Lord, tho people migrate because thev can't get l_o_ and thev continue to migrate when -hey can get it "blind pigs." Cricket, tennis an . footbaii, ac ording to Mr. Idiens takes such a prominent part in the life of tlie west thnt t e yonng tulles of the ea t, tired of doing chores, come west. The majority of the inhabitant* of Comox Valley will no doubt agree thnt there aro no chores t��do around here, no, nothing to |do but attend pink tea parties and play football, ono omtinunl round of pleasure. Is it any wonder that "still they come." Your corresdondent Local Option, gives your readers Home food for reflection, in his ���tppeal for the people to wake up, he says it is to be hope' that R C.

The general definition of n pauper, is n person out of work, (or having wrk for that matter,) and no wherewithal to obtain the necessaries of life. If this is so we mny take it for granted that the thousands who nro tramping the streets nnd highwnys, are doing so because they hnve spent their substance in booze. Possibly the loggers in dri king sn heavy caused too mnny logs to be around the FraBer Saw Mills, eh. Wis it because ihey drank a little booie or because they hnd been too industrious, that these men find themselves out of work? Being out of work where do they go tu? do they take up their abode in first class hotels, or in mansions? I think you will ngree that these men find their way t / the cheap dives more commonly known ns slums. Environment moulds the character, and what enn you expect from those who see from infnnoy, misery, degradation, vice nnd crime, in this light, poverty causes drunkeucss. Why not agitate to abolish that which cnuseB people 'o bo placed in such a position thnt a spoonful of booze is the height of their ambition. Booze is like every other commodity, it is not hecause it is good or bad that it is produced, like hats, or coats, urcoal, it is produced for profit and from the sweat, blood, and bones of those who produce this wealth, arises a pleasing incense to tickle the nostrils of the great find Profit, accursed hats, accursed conts. accursed coal.

The memory of her gallant dead, notably those who died for Queen, King and Empire, was honoured by Victoria on Sunday last, when the Fifth and Eighty-eighth regiments ar.d Cadet Corps, each accoinpauied by their bauds, together with a large number of veterans headed by the Victoria Pipe Band, marched first to the Drill Hall to drape the memorial tablet, thence to the Cathedral of Christ Church, where a short service with sermon by the Bishop of Columbia, was held, the troops afterwards returning to the Hall to be dismissed, The appearance of all ranks was excellent and from the youthful cadets., right on to the veterans, no fault could be found. The approving attention of large crowds of people was good evidence of the loyalty of British Columbia to those principles for which the heroes fought and died, and your readers may well repeat "requiescant in pace." The Bishop of Columbia, it should be said, is winning golden opinions from all quarters in this city, and it is also safe to say, from every part of his diocese where he is known. Bishop Roper is not unknown in Comox, and he will be known to posterity as a hard working Christian leader. The following extract from the speech of the Hon. W. R. Ross, the Minister of Lands, in introducing the limber Royalty Bill on Feb. 13th iust. deseryiug the fullest publicity:��� 1 'For when we face the facts and tarn from politics we are in the last analysis, merely stewards of the people. That is my conception of my task as Mfnister of Lands. Timber is merely one of the great resources with which my department deals. There are other great resources, the water and the land itself, of which I must also be a faithful steward. At some time in the not distant future I shall announce publicly what I hold to be tlio right anil adequate policy of my Department in land mnttrrs. That will j be, so far as it lies in mc to make it, a I practical policy, because a policy is worth : nothing unless it is carried out. It will .be, so far as I can bring it'about, a broad I policy, because we face broad problems. It will not be an ideal policy, because ideal policies do not work; it will not ride rough shod over traditions, or over practical considerations; it will face facts' and deal with actual conditions. But, while it will not be an ideal policy, it will be a policy through which wil'. run the golden threads of practical ideals. For a public policy without those threads is a futile and a sorry thing. The forward light at the mast heads, my friends, the jewel in the setting which surrounds it, the soul in a man, the heart of things ���the world would be a sad place without them. "And so with public policy; it must have soul. It must have body too, an efficient, alert body with which to do its work. And it must have a brain and common sense; these are all needed. But without the soul, without the vital spark, without the sense of public service for the public good no policy will stand, nor should. Not an ideal policy, but a policy based- upon ideals; that is the kind of policy at which I aim for the Lands Department of this great Province.''

"There wasn't a clew In the other two case*," mused Birch us the mnn- nger's automobile slopped before a handsome slime house ou tbe finest nvenue of the small city. In live minutes they were In the denth chamber of lhe mansion nnd Slonu was rapping out riuostlons lo the agitated valet faster Mian tho man could find replies. When the Interview wns concluded they were uot much wiser than before. "I bnvo not touched n thing, nor has tbe doctor," ended Blunt tearfully. "He must bnvo been asleep, for the papers were folded ou the bedside table, ns was his custom, and Ihe light was out, although the murderer might have done thnt." "Very true," snld Sloan. "Now, my man. If you will leave us nlonc"- Blunt wout out and closed tho door, ��tnd the two detectives were left alone In tbe room from which Mr. Hlnmnn's body hnd been removed n short while after tbelr arrival. The two men hnd diligently searched die luxurious apartment nnd after that every room In tho house, and now tbey stood silently regarding the only clow nt bund. Tbe slender, blood stnlned dngger. "Wbat data have you concerning the FUekluger nnd thu Benson cases?" nsk- en Munn. Ilircb referred to his memoraudum book. "The most Important Is that I learn- I ed thnt four men who bad been J discharged by tbe railroad company : had threatened harm to Mr. Fllckln- I ger and his secretary. I could Iimi no '��� 1 trace of these men. It was said lhat ' ! one of them was really n titled foreign- I | er down on bis luck, that he had pass- I ed through all the phases of good and bad fortune nnd he had fnilcd to mnkti j good." "I guess he's the man we're after," j I snid Slnnn. "What name?" 1 * Vnn Bonlidck." "You've senrehed every room In ttt. house, Birch?'' "Yes, and hnd n mnn to take records of nil linger prints. I sny every room ln Ibo bouse. There's one place I've been through, nnd I've a notion to go there again. Come with me." Sloun followed Birch through the hull anil up n (light of stairs to the third Door, where there wero several bedchambers and a billiard room under the mansard roof. From the pus- _igc a door led Into an open utile that run across the back of the bouse. A window nt the back overlooked the wing contlllulng tbe servants' quarter, and overhead was a trapdoor leading to the roof, A narrow ladder led to the trapdoor. ' From the doorway where Ihey stood they could see that Ihe dust of Ihe floor was untrncked near the window, and nny hope thnt the murderer might havo gained Iho roof of the wing and entered tho house by the attic window Svas at once dispelled. Suddenly Birch touched his chief's arm. "Look thero, sir!" he whispered, Sloan bent tils keen eyes to the Hoot eiid saw lhe trace of footprints In the dust. Some one hnd passed from the ladder to the passageway nnd gone back agnln. Instantly Hitch had made a detour so as not to disturb the telltale marks with his own boots and he was up tbe ladder and was lifting the trapdoor. "Unfastened, sir." he reported; "evidently pried up from tho roof���lock broken." He passed up on to the roof, and Sloan followed. Tho large expanse of .Int. tinned root wns surrounded by �� fanciful Iron railing. In one place t iu railing hnd disappeared. There was a gap of per- bups fifteen feet. Birch crept to the edge of the roof aod peered over. "Funny thing." he commented; "that Iron rulling Is down uu the ground there���looks ns though it had recently fallen. Let's havo Blunt up bere." He fetched the valet, and the two detectives pointed out the broken railing to the astonished servant. "But. sir," he protested, "I am sure It was not broken yesterday, because tho gardener would have removed It. Ho cut the grass yesterday and cleaned up the yard thoroughly. ' You see. tt has fallen directly underneath the library windows, and some of It sticks right up In the turf." I "You heard uo sound In the night; ' you are sure?" "I am sure, sir. I sleep In the wing yonder, and nt the bend of my bed la a bell that connects with Mr, HIn- man's room. One of the servants In the house next door was coining home from a party very late last night or enrly this morning, and she declares she saw u nig blackbird hovering over tbis house. Sbo Is very 'superstitious, sir. and I suppose she's Imagined thnt since hearing'of the murder." "Very likely." said Sloan In ti peculiar tone, and bis eyes met thoso of his young assistant with a significant glance. "Thank you. ISlnut. That will do for the present." When the valet bad disappeared down the trapdoor Clreli dropped to his knees and made fl searching examination of the roof. In the slight layer of dust some clew might be found. "It's here, slr"-be looked up with a smiling fnce-"lhe tracks of the 'big blackbird.' And the discovery reveals how the other two minders were committed." Sloan knelt down bcsldo him mi. wntehctl the movement of Birch's lingers ns he pointed out the tracks made by the rubber tired lauding wheels of an aeroplane, When the machine hnd mnde Its departure It hnd carried away fifteen feet of the ornamental railing from the roof. "Kind n foreigner who answers to the description of Vnn BenjidcU. if ho Is a skilled aviator lie's your mau," was Sloan's decision. "Yon remember that the residence of Mr. Flicklngcr Is of this same type- flat roof and so forth?" questioned Birch ns thoy returned to the office. "I remember., nnd I nlso recollect that Thomas Benson lived at the Hotel Batwell. aud his room wns in the nunc x. n tint roofed wing. Once' in tho ofiice Sloan picked up the afternoon edition of a New York newspaper. Suddenly bo uttered a shnrp oscbimullou nnd pointed to a glaring headline on the front page. "You won't buve to look any further, Birch! Tour man's found nnd lost��� gone to bis reward! Listen to tills; "'Another daring aviator met death enrly Ihls morning in some unknown manner. Hinloir llenjldck, well known rs a fearless flier, was found crushed to death under the body of his heavy aeroplane on tho grounds of tho Broad- brook Country club It is not known nt whnt moment or under whnt clreum- stances Ben.il.lelc met his dentil, but it Is supposed Hint be was trying out the big machine which be recently purchased, Au Invcatlgntlon Is being made Into the matter.'" Robert Birch had arisen and wns but toning Ids coat. "I'll be there at thnt Investigation,'! be snld grimly. Two duys afterward he returned to the ofllco will U chain of evidence lhat left no doubt that the unlucky aviator hnd been the-murderer of the three men, whom he believed had worked him harm. The shoes he had worn corresponded In every detail with the footprints found In the attic of the Ilia- man house, and In his pockets were found not only Mr. Hlnmnn's Jewelry, bnt diamonds lhat were afterward Identified as the properly of .laiuei Flicklngcr.

The growing importance of tho mineral Industry of India Ib explained in tho annual report of the director ���_ tho Geological Survey of India for 1912, which has just been issued. The aggregate value of tbe mineral production of India In 1912 reached the largo total of $45,302,422, which represents an Increase of $6,- 513,945 over the figures of the preceding twelve months. Coal is by far the most Important mineral product of India. Tho value of the output Of the coal fields In 1912 reached a total of $16,088,374. which represents au advance of over thirty-two per cent. The aggregate output amounted to nearly 14,750,- 000 tons, which was almost sixteen per cent, more than the total of the previous year, and nearly 2,000,000 tons in advance of the output of tbe boom year, 1908, when the figure exceeded 12,750,000 tor.s. and the average price at the pit's mouth advance to $1.20. Gold comes next to coal iu the mining industries of India, and at a time when somo of the gold fields of the world report a diminishing output it is interesting to note In India an advance of $16:1,(102, or one and five-tenths per cent, in the production of the Indian mlnea. The advance is not very large, but the aggregate yield of the fields rench��d tho total of $11,040,977.

DISEASE GERMS STICK. Mistook Their Purpose. Mr. J. L. Toole, the great comedian, bad a great antipathy to street music of any kind. About this there Is a story told of him. The waits, one Christmas evening, played under his -windows, greatly to his annoyance, and on Boxing Day they paid bim a visit. "Wc played under your window j last night,'-' said the spokesman of I tho party, when they were shown j into hla presence. "Well, and what do you want?" ] quoth the comedian. "We've come for our little gratu- ity." "Come for a gratuity, have you?" I exclaimed Mr. Toole. "Bless me! I { thought you had como to apologize!" j Hence It Is Almost Impassible to Have Really Clean Hands. Thnt (he slovenly habits .or ill health of the cooks nod waiters who serve us In dining ears, hotels, restaurants and our own homes may be an even gr,.at. cr menace to our health than defective plumbing Is the fact brought out by somo interesting Investigations mado by Surgeon Cummins of the Br'iish army. It used to he thought thai if our serv- nuts' hands���and our own-were washed with I'eactuin e freipieuey we were sufe, but Dr. Cummins rhows that even tho most sent, ulcus cleansing will not relieve bunds tint have been in contact with disease germs from the lliiblllly of Infecting others. In short, Dr. Cummins declares (hat so long ns we live In this world of dirt and microbes our hands can never be really clenn. To prove his contention Dr. Cum .ilns dipped the tip of his forefinger in a liquid containing millions of typhoid bacilli. The linger was next rinsed In nn antiseptic solution, then In very cold wafer nnd thou In 'Vllkc thnt was almost boiling. Afler nil this cleansing It wns washed Iii a siuiill quantity of sterile wnter. This water when una- lyzcd showed no less than 31!! colonics of typhoid li.icllll. Not sntlsfied with this discouraging proof of the futility of clean bunds, the doctor proceeded to son I; his Infected linger lip in pure alcohol. Then ho wnsbed It agnln In sterile water. Tl-ta time tbe analysis of the water rover .d four colonies of typhoid bacilli. Another experiment mnde by Dr. Cummins wns to rest u typhoid laden linger tip for just nn instant on (ho surface of n bowl of soup. The soup waa then allowed to stnnd for twenty- four hours. When Anally analyzed it revealed nearly 40.000 lypitoid bacilli fo every cubic Inch.���New York American. POWKT MA.U'I.E AMI UEADDK.

The Citizens League in introducing tea and cntf _ rooms will coufar a great boon on the thousands. Toronto today is practically in the same position that London (Eng. was forty years ago when there Was no such thing as one being able to net a real good cup of tea or coffee, enjoy a smoke, chat with a friend, have a game of checkers or dominoes in a comfortable, well apponited room all for the modest sum of four cents. There are now hundreds of such places, all paying big dividends, and such have dono more good for the community nt large than any act of Parliament which has since been passed. Even the great Lipton has within the past few months entered the arena, I am an Englishman, and Can kdians say we don't want to be told how they do things in the Old Country but can tliey go one better than this. ___>^��� While I should like to ' see the good ladies of Courteuay take this Tea and Coffee business in hand, I think mv previous letter would convey to your readers that I am not a total abstainer, and i am afraid it will be some years, if ever before Local Option in B. C. is adopted, because the majority of the residents were born in Great Britain, and with them old customs live long and die hard- True, Local Option was introduced into British polotics by Sir Wilfred Lawson in 1864, just fifty years ago, and the prospect of it becoming law as remote as ever. The next best alternative is the Tea and Coffee room with plenty of ontdoor sports and socials in music, singing, and dancing, debating. Now then, ' Ladies of Courtenay, with aU due respect, do not waste time in debating this Tea and Coffee buisness paying proposition. Do it now. Yours Wm.
