CUMBERLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA ' FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1925 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM H. E. MURRAY'S TALKTOP.T.A. BRINGS FORTH DISCUSSION The meeting of the Parent-Teach- erB' Association on Monday was by far the most Interesting and practical of any meeting held since the association was formed and It Is to be congratulated upon the interest which it has created between the parents ami teachers of our schools. Attending the gathering there must, have beeu about fifty including teachers of both public and high schools and parents from the city and from Royston and Minto. The meeting opened in the usual manner with President Mrs. G. K. McNaughton presiding, and after the minutes were rend and the usual reports from the various committees received and adopted, the chief topic of tlie evening was commenced, that of a discussion concerning "home work" in many of its aspects. Mr. H. E. Murray, Assistant Principal, led off the discussion, but before touching on the actual home work part of the program he went Into a full resume of the dally duties as performed by his own class, their problems, and suggestions tor the solution of many of the hindrances which the ordinary pupil meets with in his studies. He gave an outline of the result of work done within the last few days, showing that out °f a class of 39 there wcre 13, or one-third, who had failed to come up to a satisfactory standard, but when these 13 were segregated' and looked into It was found that quite a good proportl n of them had physical defects such as short-sightedness, anemia, or some similar complaint. The suggestion was given to parents of children who were pi eparlng for entrance to high 'school that if at any time they had any doubts concerning Reports their children were receiving the teach.ers would be delighted to show them the actual work done ln every exam since last September so that they would know exactly In what work the pupil had fallen down. Miss Gallivan and Mr. Apps, with Miss Partridge and Mr. Shenstone took part in the discussion that followed, giving outlines of the work they considered essential for students at home. One parent brought up an interesting point by stating that It seemed unfair .that the class should be dissected as to who were going to enter high school without sitting the government test and as to who were sent up for examination. If the Principal had the privilege of selecting students he should be given full power to deal with the class as a whole, or the alternative. Let everyone take the government tests and the parents would have a feeling that all were on their respective merits. After the business was over the social side of the evening was entered Into with great pleasure, and parent met teacher amid frank and open discussion of the knotty problems which both have to contend with. Mr. Apps reported to the meeting that he expected Mr. Patterson, government Inspector, would be present next time and enter Into a full explanation ot the "Efficiency Tests" which were being conducted at present throughout the province. Trustees Mrs. Banks aud Mr. J. C. Brown were present to report the work the Board was doing In lmpro ;- Ing the school grounds as well as the playing equipment. They also pointed out "'at Mr. A. Maxwell was voluntarily doing quite a bit of work in connection wilh the making of a tennis court. One or two new members were heard to remark that "here was a real live organization which wits striving, with every sign of success, for a good object, the getting together of parents and teachers." COMOX SEES SPECIAL AERIAL MAIL RUN NANAIMO, March 13.—The Victoria and Seattle mail seaplane passed over Nanaimo yesterday afternoon at 5:30 en route to Comox, where this morning the plane was to meet a Seattle bound Alaska steamer on her way down off Comox and there pick up an Important sack of mall which It is desired to land In Seattle as soon as possible. The plane will convey the mall there, thus saving several hours over ordinary delivery. The plane passed over Nanaimo on the return Journey at 7:35 a.m. Friday morning, evidently having accomplished Its mission. Ladysmith Easy For Cumberland Soccer fans were greatly surprised last week end at the ease with which Cumberland eliminated Ladysmith, present holders of the B. & K. Cup, from the seml-flnal round of that competition by the score of 3 goals to 0. The game was very clean, being well handled by Referee J. Adams and was witnessed by a large crowd. The Cumberland half-backs were Invincible, their brilliant playing together with several splendid saves made by Blair In goal being the feature of the game. Fowler scored once ln the first half while "Toots" Plump boosted the total to three In the second period. This is the way the teams lined up: Ladysmith—Currle, Anderson, Camp bell, Douglas, McCormick, Anderson, A. Strang, F. Strang, Davis, Heaps and Rafter.

ANNUAL MASQUERADE WAS BRILLIANT EVENT; MAGNIFICENT COSTUMES The 17th of March is, and always has been, an event long looked forward to in the history of Cumberland, not because It ls St. Patrick's Day, for the city has no large Irish population to boast of, but because It Is the day on which the Volunteer Fire Brigade holds its annual Masquerade. On Tuesday night the llo-Ilo Hall was crowded to capacity with interested spectators who were present, to see the maskers and tbey were not disappointed, for the costumes this year were far more numerous and varied than on former occasions and were greater In splendor and originality than any ever before seen at a Masquerade Ball here. In only one Instance was there any disappointment and that was when only one couple entered for the prize waltz, making it necessary to abandon tbat event. Promptly at 11:45 the Grand March was commenced with the task of judging in the capable hands of Mrs. H. B. Bernstein, Mr. Percy Booth, Mr. and Mrs. Fraser and Mr. E. A. Griffith. Following nre their selections, all of which were loudly applauded by the spectators: Best Dressed Lady, Mrs. Fraser of Union Bay; Best Dressed Gentleman.

They were accompanied by Piper Jock Stewart, of Courtenay, who rendered several selections on the pipes to which Joel; and Mack danced. Tombola prizes for the spectators were won by Mrs. E. Carter, Mrs. Wm. Henderson, Sr., Mr. Colvllle Graham, Mr. Eddy Thomson, Mrs. J. Patterson, Ticket No. 190 (unknown), Mr. George Robertson and Miss Hoffelnz. The little tot who pulled the winning numbers was presented with a large box of chocolates.

Beyond a doubt the Ball wns one of the most successful that the Brigade has ever held. LAID AT REST DRAWING FOR RADIOLA HELD SATURDAY NIGHT The funeral of the late Gordon E.

S. CHARMER REMAINS A MYSTERY No progress has been announced by provincial police ln the case of John .Smith. 65, Campbell River business man and miner, who disappeared Sunday night or Monday morning from the S.S. Charmer en route to Vancouver. A blood-stained cabin is tlle only evidence In the case. An additional theory advanced was that It was possible the missing man might have suffered from a hemorrhage of the head and while in a weakened condition from loss of blood and seeking air he staggered from his cabin to the rail of the vessel on tlle port side nnd fell overboard. With cabin 28. the one occupied by Smith on the night of his disappearance, sealed by officials, the Charmer ls continuing to cover her run and at Victoria Monday the cabin was opened and examined by provincial detectives ihere. The examination revealed nothing that was not discovered by city detectives and the cabin was re- sealed for further examination when the vessel again docks at Victoria or Vancouver. Investigation is being made into Smith's business affairs and in his home town to see if any motive for suicide can be established or any enemies, who might wish his death, ' discovered. A very Jolly time was had at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hill on Monday evening last when some twenty- one boys and girls unexpectedly drop ped In and held a surprise party on Norman, eldest son of the family. The evening was pleasantly spent in singing and playing games and It was apparent that these were greatly enjoyed by the young people. Delightful refreshments were served by Mrs Hill, assisted by several of the girls, bringing to a close, at 11:30 a most pleasant evening. C. B. Wood Will Address Teachers Mr, C. B.

MacDonald, Maryport Avenue, threw open her home on Tuesday afternoon for a tea on behalf of the Ladles' Aid of the St. George's Presbyterian Church. The reception room was tastefully decorated and the dining room, where ten was served by Mrs. J. T. Bell and Mrs. C. Whyte, was suggestive of St. Patrick's Day with Its decorations of green and white In which the shamrock played an Important part. Many ladles patronized the affair and a very gratifying amount was realized. REDUCTION PROPOSED IN TAX RATE The regular meeting of the City Council was held on Monday evening last with Mayor C. J. Parnhapi In the chair and all aldermen present. The first item on the business program was the appointment of a new matron for the Isolation Hospital In place of Mrs. Bullcn, who has resigned, and as her successor thc council was unanimous in appointing Mrs. Gear. Included ln the reports received from the various committees was a request from Alderman John J. Potter, chairman of the Board of Works, that another man be secured tn assist the present city workmen but to tbls request the council could not see Its way clear to comply. Much Interest wns aroused over Ihe proposed reduction In the tuva- tion rate which was put before the meeting when the finance committee presented Its estimates for Iho year 1925. For the school hoard the estimated expenditure wns $20,000, cs- limated receipts were $31,398, and the proposed new tax rate set ot 9 mills.

HUGETHRONG AT FUNERAL OF RESPECTED GOVT^AGENT The ranks of the real old-timers ot ('umberlaiid and district are becoming thinner with the passing of each year, being depleted by yet another one on Tuesday morning when residents of the city learned with great sorrow of the death of Mr. John Baird in the Vancouver General Hospital. Sixty years of age. he has spent over forty in the Comox District and of these forty years, twenty-five have been spent lu serving the publlc as Oov- 1 ernment Agent. No man could have served more faithfully than he. The late Mr. Baird was born at i Helensburgh, near Glasgow, Scotland, on February 8, 1805 but left the Old ' Country when quite a young man to farm in Canada. His first stop was at Spencer's Bridge, on the Fraser River, but a few months ot the dull lite there were sufficient and consequently he landed at Victoria, on the southern end of Vancouver Island. Here he met Mr. Joseph McPhee (now ! residing In Courtenay) and was advised by lllm to take up a farm in tbe Comox Valley and did so. homestead- lng on a piece of land near Black Creek for several years, the winters of which he filled In by working on tlle roads which were then being built, and by serving as a clerk ln McPliee's general Btore at Comox. Ahout this time the first mines were I started In Cumberland and as the sawmill of Grant and Mounce woe al- 1 so In operation then It was In Cumberland that deceased next found himself, working for some time as bookkeeper for this latter concern. In j 1899 he and Mr. John Thompson (a present resident of Cumberland) entered government service as provln- i clal police under W. B. Anderson, the then government agent, but in ad- ! ditlon tr his policing duties Mr. Baird also served as clerk to his superior. , Shortly afterwards thc party then ln power in the province was ousted out and Mr. Anderson wns obliged to dls- continue olllce In favor of Mr. Wll- ' 11am Mitchell, but a few months of the routine work Involved wcre sufficient 'or this latter gentleman and he resigned In 1902. Thc late Mr. Baird was appointed his successor as agent, a post which he retained by faithful service to the day of his deatli. In all his years of residence here he has only been once out of the district, and that for a hurried trip back to Scotland. He was a well- known piano player In his day and for the past few years was a leading member of the orchestra which supplied the music Tor the various Old- Timers' Re-Unions held in Courtenay and In Cumberland. The body was brought from Vancouver on Tuesday evening and was interred yesterday afternoon In the I Presbyterian Cemetery at Sandwick, | ihe cortege following the remains being perhaps the largest evcr 8een 'n the Comox district. Rev. James Hood conducted the services at the | home and Worshipful Master William E. Searle. of Cumberland Lodge No. 2« A.F.&.A.M.. of which the deceased wus a member, conducted the burial ' service wblch was very Impressive. The pallbearers were Brothers D. R.

THE NEW WONDER One of the most striking things in connection with the recent inaugural ceremonies at Washington was the broadcasting ot that interesting event by radio. One must bow before the majesty of an agency which makes it possible for a whole people lo listen, undisturbed, to the voice of their President while he unfolds for them his vision of what is needful and best for the nation. WHY NOT A SMELTER AT THE COAST? Time after time the assertion has been made that British Columbia is the richest Province in the Dominion. This, doubtless, is quite true, but the proof cat: only be demonstrated, by development ef her natural resources. Mining, agriculture, fishing and lumbering have long been looked upon as the basic industries of the Pacilic Province. At the present time the greatest of these is mining—so say members of the llritish Columbia Chamber of Alines and they have set themselves the task of letting Ihe world know thai their faith is unbounded. The action of the Chamber of Mines in instituting a campaign of publicity is commendable and the influence of this body should guarantee that wildcatting will be at a minimum. We wonder if the public will continue I y to ' *' '* ' '" ' *:l ' ""' APPRECIATION How seldom do we see a genuine example of appreciation in this busy era of the world's history. The good, old-fashioned, "i thank you," has been abbreviated to a curt "Thanx," as the recipient of a favor hurries on. It is a line thing to be grateful, to show appreciation ; but how seldom is it done today. We grab all we get, we take advantage of the other fellow, we push each other aside, we permit ladies lo hang on to the strap in street cars, we accept favors and glide along without one thought of appreciation, one sign of gratitude. Once upon a time there was a boy ten years of age who took off his hat when he entered the house; if he was sitting in the easy chair when his grandfather came into the room, he immediately arose and gave him the seat. When he went to church with his mother, he stood aside at lhe family pew and permitted her to enter lirst At tiie table he said, "Please, may I have another slice of bread?" and when grandma gave him a cookie he said, "Thank you." What has become of that little boy who showed appreciation for his elders ? He has grown to be a man past fifty ana is frequently crowded off the sidewalk by the rush ing youngsters of today, but he still stands when a lady enters the room, and he takes off his hat when talking to one of the fair sex, though the March wind chills his old bald head. There aro a few such men left because in their boyhood they were taught to respect others and to show appreciation i'or kindness. Of course we live in a much more rapid age today. The man, who, like Sir Walter Raleigh, would spread his coat for a lady to Walk upon would be smashed to smithereens beneath the feet of the hurrying crowd. But there is still me to say "I thank you," t!b show respect to play the sucker for American Oil bunk or Ljder ople d t . ev'idence rf appr^iatio choose to invest in legitimate mining enterprises, for favor8 recejved, backed by the Chamber of Mines. j ^0 not let this hustling, huirving age take all One of the greatest stimulants that could be the consideration for others away from us.

FAMILIES FOR ALBERTA At least two hundred of the three thousand families to be brought out i under the British Empire settlement scheme this year will be placed on central and northern Alberta farms, according to information received here. Already farms have been secured for every family in the quota mentioned. LARGE FARMS SOLD Canadian Power Defends Chinese Villagers The farm of George Lane, well known Alberta rancher, at Namako, has been sold to colonization interests, it was announced recently. The farm is 13,320 acres and is stated to be worth about J650.000. The sale in also announced of the Rosedale ranch,' in the Camrose district, and it is understood will be divided Into small farms for settlement purposes by the buyers. DEVICE INCREASES LOCOMOTIVE POWER N° what on earth has power development at Shawtnigan Palls pot to do with Chinese- village life? you ask. The answer is that it helps to protect Mr. Chinaman, Mrs. Chinaman antl all the little Chinamen frmn bumlils. Yes! it's a long cry from the writers of the St. Maurice Valley to the interior Chinese village, but there you nre. And it came about *>ius. A harassed Chinese head-man driven to desperation and from his native village by bad- men from the hills, came down to Hong Kong, or perhaps it was Shanghai, and down by the dock- side saw men of his race working by night as if by day on the unloading of one of the giant Canadian Pacific Empress steamships. What wonderful things were these that could so defy the darkness? Cluing Li drew closer, and saw that at intervals along the shed in which the stevedores wcre working much light came from little cans that growled softly in the breeze. Now everyone knows that electric lights are the invention of the devil and wcre introduced by the white rnccs to burn the eyes of Chinese babies and shorten the life of Chinese men. Therefore, as the power devclapmral plant tl Shawinigin Pal!', Quebec. Th* power generated here i, inn!. Indirectly. In the defence of the Chlnexe village!, typical »ccnca of which are ihown helow.

Chung Li d>ew closer. If he could learn the secret of these bright, white lights what an honor would be his. He would place them round his village at night and no one could draw near without the knowledge of his men. He would confer with the other head-men of the district. And so it came about that the Canada Carbide Company, which uses the power developed at Shaw- inigan Falls to fuse coke and lime into carbide, received an order for many flare lights. A deputation of the villagers made a long journey tn Hong Kong to receive the shipment as it was discharged from tlie Empress of Russia, and returned, knowing thnt as long as the carbide hung out they were comparatively safe from the marauding bandits. There you have the connection. Shawinigan Falls lighting a Chinese village and protecting it from bandits.

FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1925 MERCHANTS ASK FOR REDUCTION IN WINDOW AND OUTSIDE LIGHTING COURTENAY, March 17.—A good many matters wert handled by the olty fathers Monday night, before the council went Into committee as a whole for the purpose of further discussing tho 1D2S estimates. These matters included attention to a deputation of merchants asking for a rs- duction In window and outside lighting rates. The business men In attendance were Messrs Wm. Booth, Walter Heard, 11. llowle, J. N'. McLeod anil N. Smith. They were informed through Alderman .McDonald, chairman or the electric light committee, that a revision of the lighting rates, which would be of benelit to lhe business men, was being considered by bis committee, and it was hoped that a substantial reduction In window lighting would be found possible. Alderman McKenzie wanted it made el-Jar that the Native Sons were not asking exemption of taxation on the proposed building and lots as reported to use for a public park. Some discussion concerning deduction of Courtenay's share of liquor prolits resulted In the city clerk being Instructed to write formally protesting tlie deductions. Applications for further relief by citizens were referred to the special committee. Mr. Farmier attended to say that the city dumping ground was getting he.ond bis control owing to the deposit of such Junk ns old automobile pirts Including fenders and other rub bish that would not burn. Alderman Fielder thought that the refuse of this nature might be dumped in the sea as was done at other cities. Alderman McDonald was of the opinion that the noninflamable rubbish would make a good road bed. Alder man McKenzie wanted to know if the city was under any obligation to provide any dumping ground. City solicitor J. M. .Mitchell, who was present, didn't know of any clause in the Municipal Act calling for such provision. The garage proprietors are to be notified that no metal Is to be dumped within the city. Notices will also lie posted at the city dump. After this, on motion of Alderman McKenzie. seconded by Alderman Pearse, the Council went into committee as a whole for the purpose of considering tie 1926 estimates. M- derman McKenzie was elected chairman and the estimates received a good deal of attention. After considerable discussion tne School and Fire estimates were passed with some slight amendments. Other estimates were referred back to the various committees for revision. The figures for the TENNIS CLUB GET SILVER COINS FOUND BUSY FOR SEASON I AT ROOT OF TREE NEAR COURTENAY, March 19.—The annual meeting of the Courtenay Tennis Club was held in the City Hull on Wednesday night. There was a fairly good attendance, particularly of lady members. Dr. E. L. Pottinger was elected president for the year and Mr. Robert Thompson secretary-treas urer. A committee was appointed for tlie purpose of canvassing new members. The committee is composed of Miss Mary Sutton, Mrs. Heber Cooke, and Messrs Heber Cooke and II. 0. Sutherland. It was decided to accept an offer ot the Lake Trail tennis courts for the season for the sum of (200, provided lliis amount can be raised by April 1st next. The following subscription rates were set for the season: Single ladies $r>.00 single men $7.50, family tickets ?10. It is the Intention of the club to hold a social once each week during the 192n season. Mr. H. E. Wallls acted as chairman and filled the position admirably. Before the close of the meeting a hearty vote of thanks was extended to Mr. C. S. Wood, the retiring secretary, for his valuable work nf the past. LAKE TRAIL ROAD COURTENAY March 18.—Mr. R. B, Haas made a lucky find early this week. While taking out a root at his property on the Lake Trail Road, ho unearthed four silver coins. These consisted of an American dollar piece and a Strait Settlement half dollar. It is thought that the money has been laying there since the timber was logged oil about twenty years ago and that it was lost by a logger at tliat time. The coins are dated 1S92 to 1900 and although tarnished they show very little sign of having been worn. It Is quite likely that there may have been some paper money deposited with the silver at the time The coins were under the sod, however, so that any billB would, in all probability, have completely decomposed during a period of twenty years. LEAVE FOR NANAIMO Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Atkinson left for Nanaimo Wednesday. Mr. Atkinson will have charge of the Mottlshaw Mill in its new location. The furniture was taken over the road by W. R. Creech. .Miss M. E. Johnson and her mother are accupylng the house on Lake Trail just vacated by Mr. Atkinson. Public Works Department did not make provision for Improvements to Union Bay Koad, Mill Street and Cum berland Road and a recommendation was made to the committee to include these items. When discussing the electric light estimates, Mayor Duncan asked if any request had been received from residents of the lower road at Sandwick for service. Mr. C. 3. Wood replied that so far the residents of that district hadn't got together on the matter. Alderman MacDonald thought that the time for extensions to tho light system from revenue was a thing of the past and that any future work should be done as capital expenditure. Alderman Cooke was also In favor of getting away from capital expenditure out of revenue and would be in favor of debenture issues Instead. The estimates will receive further consideration at the next meeting of the city fathers.

It cannot be ascertained locally just at the moment, but it is thought that Mrs. Harry Mather, who was also amongst the pioneers, still Burvives. Unitl a late date she was residing in the Okanagan country. While not actively engaged in taking out gold ln the Wild Horse rush, yet, the late Mr. Drumheller was both directly and Indirectly Interested in the luck of that roaring camp. He supplied on the hoof, most of the beef that was consumed by the several thousand husky beef-eating miners who then called Wild Horse Gulch their home. These cattle were driven up from tho south by way ot Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, crossing Into Canada by way of Tobacco Plains, on the old pack trail which follows the Kootenay River. The entry port of thai part is now Newgate. The old pack trail was deepened mid grently widened of late years by tlic caravans and fleets of fast cars carrying liquor from Fernie and other Crows Nest Points for export into the United States. For many years before the construction of the main line of the C.P.R. this trail was the only means ot comfortable ingress and egress Into the fertile valley of the Columbia and Kootenay rivers. Incidentally, the name of Mr. Drumheller stands connected with the famous coal mines of Alberta and the thriving town which bears that name, it being carried there by a sou and a nephew of that early pioneer.

Recently they decided that graded road from their mountain village to Tolkwa, on the Canadian National Railways, a distance of approximately 15 miles, would be more in keeping with present day requirements than the old pack trail blazed by their ancestors many generations ago. They approached ollicials at Smithers regarding the project, and when the question of the cost of the undertaking presented itself and possible delays before a decision could he reached were suggested, they immediately put up the proposition that if they wero furnished with tools and construction supplies, they would huild the road themselves, providing all horse power and manual labor free of charge. SLOAN IS ASKING DAMAGES NOW FROM GEN. A. D. McRAE VANCOUVER, March 17. -Reviving his libel action, Hon. William Sloan Provincial Secretary and Minister of Mines, has caused a statement nf claim to he filed In Xaiiaimo agalnsi Major-General Alexander Duncan McRae, Vancouver capitalist. Tho plaintiff, whose solicitors am Messrs. Farris, Karris, StuttZ & Sloan claims unstated damages from the defendant, although the endorsement of the writ named $50,000 as the desired monetary compensation. The libel complained of, according to the statement ot claim, appeared i In the "Searchlight" in January, 191! 1, under the heading, "A Petition For a I Royal Commission." Therein fol- . lowed the sufficiently ventilated ■charges concerning the Pacific Great j Eastern Railway, wherein Mr. Sloan was charged with having accepted approximately $50,000 to assure protection to the promoters of the railway. According to the statement of claim, the words meant that thc plaintiff has accepted a bribe and after the election afforded protection ; and favorable treatment to the promoters of the P.G.E. and that Mr. Sloan had been guilty of an Indict- I able offence. j Thc charges had been investigated I by Mr. Justice Galllher, who exonerated Hon.

All of these go to make a thrilling romance of "The Ridfu' Kid From Powder River," which is the name of the Universal-Hoot Gibson attraction Wednesday and Thursday of next week at the Ilo-llo Theatre. The scene of the story is in Arizona and the time in the days wheu the territory then was virtually nothing other than a vast cattle ranch. Those were tiie days of one of the most, thrilling periods of the settlement of the West, a period of the beginning of tlie transition of the land from a feeding ground for great herds of long-horned cattle to a land of ag- rlcultural pursuits. The cattleman, long king in his rule, resented bitterly und forcibly the intrusion of the nester and there was much bloodshed before the persistency of the nester brought in the law of the courts. Hoot is cast as a young man whose sole mission In life Is to accomplish the death of tho murderer of his foster father, a nester, who was shot one night by cattlemen whose demands to vacate lie had refused to obey. Perilous adventure besets the young avenger as be rides the country over [ seeking to keep his vow, and the spirit of Henry Herbert Knihhs" novel.
