4<t THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER With which ls consolidated the Cumberland News. TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 44. CUMBERLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8. 1919. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM. Government May Have to Get Out Special Despatch to The Islander. Ottawa, Nov. 8.—Another clear-cut intimation that the Unionist Government will not carry upon its shoulders, if the House imposes the burden upon it, of 'providing additional gratuities for returned men, came from Hon. J. A. Calder, chairman of the special soldier's committee, in Parliament on Thursday night- The minister said the members should vote as they saw fit, but he added the point that if the members signified their disapproval of the government's stand by voting down its policy, then another government would have to carry on. The majority of members heard from favor Major Andrew's amendment to the motion for the adoption of the report of the committee. This would substitute the Great War Veterans' Association plan for that of the committee. Capt. Manion made the suggestion that the amount for the relief of the returned men should be increased from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000. He was opposed to Major Andrew's amendment. His objection was based upon the fact that should it be adopted and a general election result, nothing whatever could be done for the returned men for a period of six months. H. B. Morphy, the last speaker of the evening, strongly supported the committee's report and debated Major Andrew's amendment. He termed the latter as "futile." W. S. Middleboro moved the adjournment of the debate. CCi AI TR NI<S I FIERCE STORM SWEEPING tUAL l"IU010 | WHOLE ATLANTIC COAST MAY COME TOMORROW Special Despatch to Thc Islander.

Canada's future prosperity depends 10 a great extent upon the success of the Victory Loan. No country can .•.list upon trade wlthlu Its own boundaries Canada counts on the trade with Great Britain and other allied countries to keep the flood of good times in the country. The surplus products of the (arm and the factory find their way across the seas. The revenue of the farmer snd the manufacturer ls dependent on this trade relationship being sustained The employment of many hands depends on the orders that come to the firm. The pay envelope only comes with steady employment. Great Britain and overseas countries are still desirous of continuing trade relations, but, overwhelmed with war expenses, they must be given credits for the time being. The former and the manufacturer must be paid for their products and manufactured articles in cash. Therefore, Canada must finance the proposition to Sep the tide of commerce coming his way.

PROTECT YOUR FRUIT TREES FROM MICE paper ls also effectual, but trees have been injured by using It, and it ls well to guard against this when building paper will do as well. After the paper is wrapped around the tree and tied, a little earth should be put about the lower end to prevent the mice from beginning to work there, as, if they get a start, the paper will not stand in their way. It may be stated, however, that among several thousand young trees which have been wrapped with building paper for years at the experimental farm, Ottawa, there have been practically no instances where the mice have gnawed through tbe paper to get at the tree. The use of^a wire protector, or one made of tin or galvanized Iron, Is economical ln the en, as they are durable. "There are a number of washes and poisons recommended for the protection of fruit trees and the destruction of the mice and rabbits, but none of these is very satisfactory, as, If the mice or rabbitB are numerous, the poison has not sufficient effect upon them to prevent injury altogether. The following method ot poisoning has been (ound fairly successful (or mice, but rabbits are very difficult to deal with. Make a mixture ot one part, by weight, of arsenic with three parts of corn meal. Nail two pieces o( board, each six (eet long and six inches wide, together so as to make a trough. Invert this near the trees to be protected and place about a tablespoonful ot the poison on a shingle, and put It near the middle of the run, renewing the poison as often as is necessary.' Indian Land tor Soldiers. Ottawa, Nov. 1.—Forty-tour quarter sections of land, approximately 7,000 acres, have been withdrawn from the Bobtail Indian Reserve, near Ponoka, Alta. The Soldiers Settlement Board secured the relinquishment ot these lauds, which have been lying idle, and they will be disposed ot at cost for soldier settlement. The Bale will take place at Edmonton on November 13.

While out at Cowlchan Gap he hooked a big fish, but to his great disappointment the fish broke away carrying with It a piece of the line and a spoon. The following day Harry went out fishing at the same time and again he hooked a fish, but this time he took good care that it did not get away. To his great surprise when he landed it he found that it had in Its jaw the spoon he lost the previous day. He has no knowledge of any fisherman in Ladysmith having had a similar experience.—Ladysmith Chronicle. Dominion Horticulturist Offers Some Sonnd Advice on an Important Hatter. Mr. W. T. Macoun, Dominion horticulturist, in a circular Issued recently, offers some very valuable suggestions to fruitgrowers regarding the ravages of mice on fruit trees. The circular says: "Thousands of trees are Injured ln Canada every year by mice, and in the newer districts a large number of rabbits also. All this could be prevented It the farmer or fruitgrower would use the information available and protect his trees from mice. Some years there is less injury than others, and this fact leads to carelessness, and when a bad year conies the trees arc unprotected "While the depredations from mice and rabbits In winter vary from one year to another, depending on the scarcity or abundance of food, the number of mice which are ln the vicinity, and the character of the win ter, the injury is always greatest when the orchard is in sod, and when there is rubbish lying about; hence the latter should be removed before the winter sets ln. As mice may be expected in greater or less numbers every winter, young trees should be regularly protected against their ravages. Mice usually begin working on the ground under the snow, and when they come to a tree they will begin to gnaw it if it ls not protected. A small mound of soil from eight to twelve Inches In height raised about tbe base o( the tree will often prevent their Injuring the tree, and even snow tramped about the tree has been quite effective, but the cheapest and surest practice Is to Skeena Salmon Pack Worth M,000,000.

The bravest village in England is Knowlton, Kent. It Ib proud of its record of having sent a large portion ot Its inhabitants to the colors than any other place of like description. A handsome memorial was recently unveiled on the Knowlton estate of Lord Stanhope. The monument reeords the fact that thirteen of the twenty-nine in habitants voluntarily served during the war. Sir George Frampton designed the memorial, which is executed in granite. Earl Stanhope remarked that Kent had led the way ln cricket, and now they had shown England how to play the sterner game of war. Lord Birkenhead when attorney-general had awarded the prize for the bravest village to the small community of Knowlton and that memorial would stand tor many years as a record of their splendid patriotism. The memorial bears the names of the men from the parish who served, and figures on the (our sides represent a soldier, a sower of seed, Justice and the Reaper. A remarkable case was heard at Klrkham when Louis Goldstein of London was charged with unlawfully wearing military uniform. The evidence showed that accused's brother, Lazarus Goldstein, R.A.M.C, did not report after being granted leave, ac cused turning up wearing the uniform and representing himself to be Laza rus Goldstein. Accused pleaded that his brother was very delicate and unfit to return and witness took the place of his brother, who was a burden and expense to the army. Accused, who volunteered to go to the Russian battle front, was fined $50 or in default two months' Imprisonment. Woman's crowning glory Is her hair.

SOCIAL and PERSONAL Edited by MOLLY MALONE BLESSINGS OF PEACE. 0 Beauteous Peace, Sweet union of a state, what else but thou Gives safety, strength and glory to a people. I bow, lord constable, beneath the snow Of many years; yet in my breast revives A youthful flame. Methinks I see again Those gentle days renew'd that blessed our isle, Ere by this fury of division, Worse than our Aetna's most destructive fires, It desolated sunk. I see our plains, Unbounded, waving with the gifts of harvest, Our seas with commerce throng'd, our busy ports With cheerful toil. Our Enna blooms afresh; Afresh the sweets of thee, my Hybla, flow: Our nymphs and shepherds, sporting in each'vale, Inspire new song, and wake the pastoral reed. —Thomson. IF the present tenor of the feminine mind may be judged by the pocket handkerchiefs it favors, we are in a gay mood again. Joyous colors ls the dominant note. There are the small linen squares ln solid colors with their white hems turned or rolled. Larger hand blocked handkerchiefs have bold black de signs on the border and black rolled hems. This introduction of black ls prominent In the French goods. Pastel flowers are seen ln the corners of white handkerchiefs and the tone with pastel tints that have bloomed out In other parts of dress. In a class all by themselves are the gay prints and sheer lawn. We have .seen the geometric patterns, orderly arrangements of blocks and checks, which have firmly established themselves. Now comes the Oriental novelties which have been so well liked in Loudon and Paris. One cannot attempt to describe these "futurist" effects nor to enumerate the colors found in one design; they make one think of a kaleidoscope run wild. It ls too early to say whether they will have the success here that they found abroad, but Judging from the indication, they may easily become the handkerchiefs of the hour. • * • There returns to Canada in a few days a woman whose work for the soldiers during the war should never be forgotten—Lady Drummond. From the earliest weeks of the war until nearly a year after the armistice, Lady Drummond has devoted herself nobly and unselfishly not only to the sick and wounded, but to the sound men whose needs at times were almost as pressing. As founder and heaed of the - information bureau of tbe Canadian lied Cross Society, which has done invaluable work both for the men and for their anxious families ln Canada, and as founder and president of the splendid Maple Leaf clubs whose comfort has been enjoyed by more than half a million men, Lady Drummond's Influence has been used always for the good of Canadian boys. In great personal grief, through years of strain and ln close contact with tragedy, loss and suffering, Lady Drummond has never failed In the work she undertook. It Is mentioning the least of her offerings to the cause to speak of money. She has given time, strength nnd ability; wonderful enthusiasm, sympathy and kindness. Canada may well be proud of the fact that when the awful test came her daughters as well as her sons bore the strain and did not fail. There are some splendid women who worked overseas through the war to make life more bearable for the men who had offered all. One likes to think that aily Drummond is typical. One likes to know that she represents Canada's women, working and praying and loving through tbe blackest of the dark days. ' ...

SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE. The majority of those who sit in Parliament appreciate the fact that they are servants of the people and are ready and willing to carry out the wishes of those who have elected them. And the same may be said with regard to members of governments. There 'are some, however, who do not appear to understand that it is the people of this country who rule and not one or two individuals. Or if they do understand they are not willing to bow to the supreme authority. Among the latter is the individual who temporarily occupies the position of attorney-general of this province. It was through a series of accidents that he came to be where he is, and he appears to presume that because of these accidents, backed by a majority of members in the House who were themselves elected more by good fortune than because of their ability, he can ride roughshod over the people of British Columbia and do as he pleases. He may do so for the time being, but he will not be permitted to carry on his high-handed practices forever. There is a day of reckoning coming, and the self- esteemed incumbent of the law portfolio in the Provincial Government will find a rude awakening in stoi'e for him when the next elections come on. The absolute necessity of appointing a police magistrate for Cumberland has been, upon more than one occasion, drawn to the attention of the attorney-general (pro tern), but he has not yet seen fit to make a move. There may be some grounds on which to excuse him for not appointing the nominee of the Cumberland City Conucil, but there can be no good reason given for not filling the position by someone. It is because of just such arbitrary tactics on the part of those who hold office that governments are turned out, and the people of British Columbia are fully alive to what is their duty and they will perform that duty at the next general election. would ever want for anything; they were assured that their sacrifices would never be forgotten and that a grateful people would repay them ten-fold. How have those promises been kept? Let us look the situation squarely in the face and see whether we have kept faith with those men. Did the people of Canada keep their promise when they permitted the grasping profiteers to squeeze millions of dollars out of the nation and which included the dependents of the men fighting overseas? Did they keep their promise when they allowed thousands of men to return crippled for life tnd unable to earn a livelihood to go with scarcely the bare necessities of life ? Have they kept their promise when they turned a deaf ear to the appeals of the returned soldiers for assistance to give them a fresh start in life ? Are they keeping faith when they make the excuse that the country cannot afford to make the grants asked by the veterans when millions are being squandered in other directions? Are they redeeming their pledge when they refuse to employ these men because they are "old soldiers" and therefore not to be depended upon? Have they kept I their promises when they permit I the widows and orphans of the j men, who gave up their lives, to I be slandered, insulted and neglected, and to exist in actual want while others more fortunate are squandering on trivialities and for self-gratification ten times as much as would be necessary to place these same dependents in decent circumstances? Let the people of Canada ask themselves these questions and then look down deep into their consciences for the answer. We have enjoyed a year of peace, but what of those who made that peace possible ? ONE YEAR AFTER. Next Tuesday will mark the completion of one year since the termination of the Great War and the cessation of the carnage which had been going on for more than four years in Europe, and it may not be amiss to make enquiries as to what extent the people of this country have altered their opinions as openly expressed prior to and at the termination of the war. It will be remembered that when the Germans broke loose and started on the warpath; when they violated their treaty obligations by invading and overrunning Belgium; when with a mad rush they swarmed into northern France and wero knocking at the gates of Paris; when they had the Channel ports almost within their grasp; when they threatened the whole world with conquest—the cry went forth for men to fill up the breach and save the world from the awful fate which was then hanging over it. At that time everyone was loud in their praise of the men who voluntarily donned the uniform of the King and went forth to do battle against the hordes of barbarians that were sweeping Europe to destruction and threatening the whole world with the same fate. These men were the heroes of the hour; they were carried shoulder high and acclaimed as the saviors of the country; they were patted on the back and told that neither they nor any of their dependents Additional Sport DISTRICT BASKETBALL • LEAGUE IS FORMING Devotees of Favorite Indoor Game Muklng Arrangements for a Good Schedule.

Well, we went to South Wellington, saw the grand stand and came away victorious. Or In other words, we went, we saw, we conquered. And there was some orowd there to aee us do it; four thousand whooping, yelling, dancing football fans from all parts ot Vancouver Island, who watched the play and encouraged the teams by waves of cheers that must have been heard In Nanaimo. » • • The road to Nanaimo on Saturday night was a long stream of automobiles. Every car ln town was on the road, and on Sunday South Wellington was the Mecca ot every football fan on the northern end of the Island. • • • Cumberland had an all-star team, and a little over anxiety on the part of the forwards in front of the goal or the score would have been larger. Every man on the team piaed the full hour and a half with a resolution to win, and the difference In their shape was apparent to all who have watched the team play this season. • * • Conti was the hardest working forward on the field, his wing play to Ed. Hunden .being one of the features of the game. BUI Brown at centre made some nice openings tor His team mates and waa always dangerous ln front of the goal. • • * Teddle Jackson was due for a goal if Lynn had not handled his perfect shot. Bannerman's corners were placed perfectly, and from one of these corner mixups in front of the goal, Hunden drove home the winning and only goal of the game • * • Tommy Jackson at "centre half was the living shadow of Dicky Stobbart. Dangerous Dicky has nothing on the Crow's Nest marvel, and his record became sadly dimmed. Dicky spoiled Tom's penalty kick, but on the day's play Dicky was never there with Tom. Throwing rocks at the hall on free kicks and spending as much as $30 at one time Is Dicky's long suit. < a a Jack Williams was the same old reliable Jack; always on the ball, and his game at left half left nothing to be desired. Bob Brown, the genial one from Bevan, played the best game of football he has played this year, bis kicking and placing being strong all tho way through. • * a Backs, two of the finest on the coast, like stone walls, they could not be passed. Their kicking, tackling and placing was sure. Wilkinson and Cairns play very well together and their exhibition in the second half with Wilkinson over the centre line driving the ball right In the goal was something to be remembered. • • » Walker handled some beautiful saveB and was always there when called upon, although he was pretty nearly frozen with the cold. Big Bill likes an active game ln goal, and he was not worked hard enough last Sunday. He was right under Green's penalty and I doubt If Green could have beaten Bill at the best. • * • South Wellington played a good game but their team haa been built up around two men, Green and Stobbart. Lynn waa hustled to death by Sackle last Sunday and did not seem to be as good as he was touted. One more game to win and the battle Is over. Keep up training, boys; don't slacken up, becausee Ladyamlth Athletics are a dangerous team and will take some beating. Don Morrison told me they are training hard, and will be in good shape. Money is behind them, but we need a drink out of that new cup. So, let's go. DOMINION LANDS.

Page Five Football Baseball SPORT-Up-to-Date Athletics Boxing GREAT FOOTBALL GAME TAKEN BY CUMBERLAND IT WAS A GREAT GAME, and although they did not win, the men of South Wellington have no reason to be ashamed of the showing they made on the field, From the commencement to the finish they were always in the game, and at no time was there any certainty that Cumberland would pull out on top. Footballers from this city journeyed to South Wellington last Sunday to play the team of that town in what was the most important match in the Up- Island League series. They journeyed back again on Sunday night with a win firmly in their grip and the satisfaction of knowing they had put up the best game of their career. The local athletes realized for weeks that their greatest struggle would be with South Wellington on the grounds of the latter, and every man was determined to do his best. Each man carried out his resolve. In a contest where evcrey man played his position almost to perfection, it is a difficult matter to pick out any one as the shining star. One thing is certain, however, and that is that it would have beeen physically impossible tor men to put up better games than those displayed by Conti and Wilkinson of the Cumberland team. The playing ot each was faultless and they were always on the spot when they were needed. Especially can this be said of the latter. With Cairns as hlB partner ln the back line and with Brown, Jackson and Williams ln front ot them as half-backs, Cumberland had a veritable stonewall defence, against which the fierce and persistent attacks of the South Wellingtn forwards were broken up. On only two occasions did the men from the south get straight shots at the goal, and on both occasions Walker was there with the goods. The Cumberland forwards, too, worked like a machine, and their line combination play was responsible for the win. To Bannerman, Teddy Jackson, Brown, Conti and Hunden all credit Is due for the victory, because in order to win a game tbe forwards must be successful In scoring. The defence may prevent the opposing team from bagging goals, but the forward division must succeed in penetrating if a victory is to be gained. This the Cumberland forwards succeeded in doing time after time, but their shooting was a trifle erratic, although very close. Several shots missed the net by inches, and the score of the local team suffered ln consequence. It appeared that, through their anxiety to place the ball where the goalkeepeer could not reach It they were Inclined to be a bit wide. And It waa necessary for them to place the kail iu such a position, because Taylor ln the South Wellington goal was playing a magnificent game, and it was demonstrated early in the game that In order for Cumberland to score it was necessary to shoot beyond his reach. For the South Wellington team, Lynn and Hamilton at back, and Smith, Green, D. Stobbart at half-back, did yeoman service. True, the Cumber- laud forward line succeeded In breaking through on several occasions, but with the dash with which they were playing the best defence ln the land would not have stopped them on all occasions. That which very rarely happens occurred during the game. Each side was awarded a penalty kick and neither succeeded ln scoring. The kick for the Cumberland side landed fairly on the breast of the goalkeeper, while that for South Wellington struck the top bar and bounded over. , Without doubt the most pleasing feature of the game was the entire 'absence of any rough or unsportsmanlike tactics. The game was a perfectly clean and gentlemanly one from beginning to end, and the decisions of the referee were accepted without a murmur from either Bide. It Is hardly to be expected that a referee wlll see every little detail ln a game that ls as swift as that played on Sunday, but Mr. W. Bumlp of Nanaimo may justly feel proud of the manner ln which he handled the contest. His decisions were most impar tlal, and it an occasional foul was al- GEOBGE BOSS.

After Ave weeks of angling, Promoters Davis and Brown have signed these two delineators of the manly art, Roberts and Ross. This is a return match. The last meeting at ten rounds will be remembered for a long time by those who saw It, and the public demand for a longer contest has been answered ln this twelve-round go. Ross and Roberts are willing mixers as well as being good boxers, and with two good preliminaries the public may be assured ot a fine night's entertainment. lowed to pass It was because the referee did not aee It. A word should also be said with regard to the splendid treatment accorded the visiting team by South Wellington fans. They naturally were anxious to see their boys win, but they were not slow to recognize and applaud the fine work of their opponents.

BEVAN ATHLETIC CLUB GROWING VERY RAPIDLY Hallowe'en Celebrated by Supper and Dance—Preparing for Basketball Season. The Bevan Athletic Club, which was formed about the beginning of October, is In a flourishing condition and Is growing rapidly. Already it has attained a membership of 150. and new members are constantly being received. So rapid has been the Increase that It Is believed new Quarters wlll soon have to be secured In order to provide sufficient accommodation. The club members spent a pleasant time on Hallowe'en at a supper and dance given In the clubrooms. About ISO people attended. It was an open affair and everybody was welcome; some twelve new members were received that night. The following evening the members Indulged In a feed of chips and later In the evening en- Joyed several practice games ot basketball. On Monday night the club Inaugurated Its dancing class, when between sixty and seventy people were present. The club Is entering at least two teams ln the district basketball league, and several other teams are being formed, Including one composed of single ladles and another of married ladles. There are also good prospects of a fat men's team. It Is understood that Bob Yates, proprietor of the Bevan Hotel, Is practising hard in order to qualify for the position ot centre on this team. It is stated that a number of citizens were somewhat alarmed the other evening when they felt the earth trembling, believing an earthquake was ln operation. Their fears, however, were allayed by the Information that Bob was out practising basketball.

Thousands of parents bought Victory Bonds for their children in 1917 and 1918. Surely you will be among the thousands of loving parents who will buy Victory Bonds for their children—this year? Victory Bonds may be bought on instalments at such easy terms that every parent who so wishes may buy BuyAftctory Bonds ForVour Children Isiused by Canada's Victore Loan Committed in co-operation with the Minister of Finance of the Dominion ol Canada. Page Six. THE ISLANDER, CUMBERLAND, B. C. Nov. 8, 1919. WHILE STANDING AT THE CORNER OF THE STREET By THE LANCEBEZAN NO 1* long at'" I watched the chil dren coming home from school along Dunsmuir avenue, ami as I gazed at the rising generation as thoy merrily romped along I felt that the parents of the Cumberland children must be proud Indeed of their offspring. There j niauy different types as there wen; children on the street, yet every one had a pleasant, winning smile anil a happy disposition. I did not Bee one eioss or crabby-looking child In the whole lot. Ami what sturdy youngsters they wore; bright, rosy, round- taced urchins whose appearance und demeanor had a tendency to stir up Jusl a little feeling of envy in those of us whose school days are ln the distant past. School days are pleasant days, and one cannot be upbraided for cherishing the desire to live them over again, and for feeling a trifle envious oi those who are now enjolng them. a * * There wus one stout, chunky little chap who particularly drew my attention. He was not one of those who would be called a particularly beautiful child, so far as regularity of features are concerned yet his countenance radiated childish happiness and simplicity of character that was truly startling. And he appeared to be a lee !• r among his schoolmates, because every lew minutes he would start up a song and the rest of thc children would Join in. Just as the children were passing me my happy little friend started up "0 Canada!" and as the sweet childish voices filled the air I was forced to the conviction that I had never heard tin's grand anthem under such favorable auspices. It sounded more like a prayer set to music ami gave one the feeling that that was the way the angels sing. One could not conceive of anthfng more .; and alluring than the sing- . g oi the Canadian National Anthem by those same happy children. a a a They were all familiar with the words and air of the grand old song to a much greater degree than are most of us grown-ups, and it was evident to mc they had learned It at school. The sound of their voices and the manner in which they rendered the song convinced me they thoroughly believed and meant every word the uttered. And flu's was indeed pleasant to contem- plaic, especially to those who claim Canada as their native land. To them there is no land quite so fair and so good as is the northern half of the North American continent. Every country has its attractions and Its advan- e . no doubt, hut to Canadians none <,. them reach the same height of perfection as does Canada. !ng it, I began counting the strokes and after the eighth there were no more. Inwardly I said to myself; "Some poor child has passed out of the world during the happiest period of ltB life," and the reflection came in the nature of a shock. Shortly afterwards ny mind was set at rest by a friend .vho told me the city bell "rang" every light at 8 o'clock as a warning to the children who happened to be on the ureet at that hour that It was time for them to be at home. In thinking of the incident since I have wondered why it Is that the man whose duty It is to lound the curfew should toll the bell instead of ringing It. The tolling of a bell Is a most mounrful sound, and reminds one of the custom in some sections of the East where the church bell is tolled when a parishioner dies or ls lieing buried. Then tlie bell Is struck it intervals until the number of years tfhtcb the deceased had reached has been numbered. Perhaps that is the reason I unconsciously counted the strokes of the city bell that night. Why could the bell not be sounded properly, in the manner in which a bell ls supposed to be? Even If It rings ln Its merriest fashion its sound at that hour of the evening is saddening enough to the children who must heed its warn ing and break off in the mdist of their pleasure, without having that sadness heightened by the tolling of the bell. Even for those who are not called upon to heed its warning it has a mounrful sound, and its tendency ls not to brighten one up, especially during the long evenings which are difficult euough to endure. Please, Mr. Sexton, do ring your bell properly and make It sound as joyful as possible. Since 1904 the silver mines ot the Cobalt district of Northern Ontorlo have produced about $167,000,000 worth of silver. The average price per ounce has been 65.30 cents. This year Egypt imported a considerable quantity of coal .from South Africa. Tlie epidemic of Infantile paralysis in Sweden shows an alarming Increase. The German government has selected Castle Oels as the future home of the Crown Princess, as her former abode is considered much too large and pretentious for her present circumstances. I> the County Court of Jianaimo Ami why should we not feel proud of our country? It is a beautiful land- none more beautiful on the face of the earth, and Its people are the peers of any other race. They have demonstrated beyond peradventure that they arc entitled to be called a nation, and they are now taking their place among the great nations of the earth. But it is not surprising that they should have developed and achieved nationhood; In fuel Ihe surprise would he if they had not, for are they not sprung trom the greatest race the world has ever known? Their ancestors came from the British Isles, and that In itself is ufficlenl guarantee of their capabilities. * * a Hut I have digressed. I started in to talk about those school children, und the happy, care-free manner In which they romped on their way home, and of tlie impressions they, left upon me. Hut one might easily be excused for digressing, because when one begins to contemplate on childhood and one's mind goes back to the days when he was a happy schoolboy himself, ho is Inclined i« become reminiscent, Whether wo will it or not, our minds drift hack lo the day when In u moment of mischief we assisted In placing a crooked pin on the chair of the teacher, und the delight we experienced at seeing him jump up more quickly than he sat down; and one can at this long distance still feel the smart of the strap or ruler as it descended in the hand of the angry podagogue. Then the memories are not so pleasant. I suppose children nre pretty much the same tlie world over, and 1 have no doubt that the same collection of happy youngsters which I saw on the street have their moments of happiness and sadness just as we did Holden at Cumberland, B.C., Oct. 8, 1919.

McCrossan has been appointed corporation counsel for the city of Vancouver at a salary of $8000 a year, his duties to commence on December 1. That a by-law be passed requiring all retail stores of Victoria to close Saturday evenings at 6 o'clock, thus eliminating all late week-end shopping, was the plea made before the streets committee of the City Council recently. The city of Vancouver's cheque for :S240.00O has been passed over to the land department of tho Canadian Pa- clllc Railway, completing the purchase of Kitsllnno Beach property. Payment was made under authority of the council dated six years ago. There are now only about thirty prisoners left at the alien internment camp at Vernon, about seventy-live having left last week for overseas. Those remaining Include the families of the principals in the murder trial and the witnesses connected with the case. __ The ranch and model farm near Cloverdale owned by Mr. Robert Kelly ls to be taken ovor by tho department of soldiers' civil re-establishment and devoted to tho traininig of returned soldiers wanting to take up lands under the Dominion Government's land settlement scheme. British Columbia boards of trade wlll meet In convention ln Vancouver for three days starting February 4. Problems afl'ecting various portions of the province which may he solved with the assistance of other sections will he discussed, matters of public Importance will be considered, and an effort Will be made to establish the basis for closer co-operation between the different districts. > Through the accidental discharge of a shotgun, Percy Otto, aged 17, of 55 Gorge road, Victoria, was badly Injured recently, when he and a friend, William Abbott of Cook street, were out hunting-on the Welch farm, Royal Oak. They had leaned their guns against a fance, over which they were climbing, when a picket was knocked down and, In falling, struck and discharged one of the guns. The charge odged in young Otto's left leg. British Columbia contributed 41 per cent, of the total value of the fisheries of Canada during the ear 1918. The actual figures for the province were $21,518,595, and the last available figures for the whole of the Dominion— those of 1917—are given as $52,312,- 544. British Columbia's output surpassed that of Nova Scotia by $7,056,- 2711 and that of the rest of the provinces combined by $11,156,941. The total value for the year shows an Increase over the previous year of $6,881,249. Salmon-products totalled $10,828,783, a gain over the previous ycnr of $6,285,178. The Ladysmith Chronicle says: Wm. McIIugh, the well-known engineer ot Ladysniith, Is about to turn his mechanical genius in a new direction, and if something unexpected does not Interfere with his present arrangements he will add to his fame and that of the city of Ladysmith by flying to Victoria aud other Island cities and towns ln a locally constructed hydroplane early ln the year. Mr. McIIugh has had ln his mind for some time the Idea of building a hydroplane and those who are best acquainted with his mechanical ability wlll feel certain that he will succeed lu his undertaking. He has made a study of air navigation for some time and hns already some of thc parts that will be needed In his new machine. During the winter months ho hopes to hnve enough time at his disposal to complete his hydroplane and early lu the spring ho will have everything in readiness to start his airship on its first voyage. In the meantime he will assemble the parts required, but some of these he wlll have to secure hi the East. Mr. McIIughs enterprise Iiould prove a good advertisement for Ladysmith. While the statue of her late Majesty Queen Victoria, tho corner stone of . hieh was laid recently by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, has just arrived from England, It wlll not be placed in position on the legislative grounds at Victoria for two or three months at the earliest. Owing to the fact that one of tho large sections of Swedish granite shipped here some time ago to form the pedestal for the statue, ls still missing, the statue can not be placed in position until a corresponding stone to take the place of the missing one Is received from England This needed section Is now being cut In England, but It will not arrive for a couple of mouths at earliest. When the shipment of parts for the pedestal arrived here It was found that a large stone, evidently not Intended for tho work, had been sent along presumably In place of the piece now required. A mistake had clearly beeu made and the manufacturers in England were communicated with but the missing stone could not be found. Mrs. Ralph Smith will make a tour of tiie Okanagan in the interests of Women's Institutes in the carl part of December. The first fall ot snow this year In tho Penticton district found a goodly number of fruit ranches wholely unprepared, as fully 25 per cont. of the apple crop was still on the trees. The result of the tagging for the Navy League of Canada last week in the Cowlchan dlBtrlct was as follows: Duncan, $73.08; Cowlchan Lake, $39.77; Cowlchan Station and Bay, $23.01; Cobble Hill, $23.00; Shawnlgan Lake, $19.00; E. & N. trains, $5; Maple Bay, $1.85; total, $184.71. The Penticton board of trade has given endorsntion to the proposal of President Chris Spencer of the Vancouver board that a convention of the various boards ln the province be held in Vancouver at an early date. The Summerland board of trade has proposed to Penticton that prior to this province-wide convention, the Ogana- gan boards gather at Kelowna to formulate opinion upon subjects of particular hitetrest to the valley. After erecting a shipyard with all necessary mechanical appliances and factories, spending $2,500,000 in wages and utilizing 22,000,000 feet of British Columbia fir in wooden shipbuilding in twenty-seven months, the William Lyall shipyards plant of North Vancouver has completed its work, finds no more contracts obtainable, and is now advertised for sale. A great wartime Industry has come to un end after producing over 40,000 tons of wooden shipping, most of the vessels being now at sea. At a recent meeting of the provincial cabinet It was decided that the province would not acquire the Coldstream ranch at Vernon, recently offered to the government nt $1,500,000 by the personal representative of the Cow- dray interests. Premier Oliver suggests that the acquisition of the Coldstream estate 1b u matter entirely for the Dominion Government. He advises Mr. Lundy, therefore, to take up the question with the Dominion soldier settlement board officials at Ottawa. William Pollock, a uatlvo of Nanaimo, aged 29 cars, was almost instantly killed In camp five of the Victoria Lumber Company near Chemainus last week when ho wns struck by a cedar snag as It was being pulled from Its position by a cable attached to a donkey engine, the snag as It jwung clear of the earth felling Pollock and narrowly missing several other employees who wore engaged In making a new skid road. The deceased was born In Nanaimo. Before leaving there some fifteen ears ago the family lived on the Five Acrea in the vicinity of the present Harewool School, but for the past fifteen years the family have resided in Ladysmith.

The discovery of a raisin whhikey still In full operation ln the janitor's quarters in a Calgary church was made recently when the home of Joseph Faline was raided by the city police. Professor R. D. McLaUrln, one of the four professors recently dismissed by the Universit of Saskatchewan, has brought suit for $25,000 against the Regina Leader for publication of an editorial which the 111111111111 claims held him up to publlc hatred, ridicule and contempt. The hoard of commerce, anld W. F. O'Connor, deals not with tho question of prices but with profits, and tho only question that It can decide on is that of profit.

Koroyk, a furmer at Poplar Field, Manitoba, a settlement on the C..N.R. Fish River branch, has been murdered by his 13-ear-old son, Tony. An officer of the R.N.W.M.P. has taken the hoy Into custody and a brother, aged 9, ls held as a material witness. The victim died of gunshot wounds and an inquest Is being hold on the tragedy. GREAT BRITAIN. Sir Horace Plunkett, in an address before the National Liberal Club in London, declared that the path of wisdom for the government was to make the Irish people an offer of the fullest measure of Belf-government. He advocated giving to Ireland the status of a self-governing dominion with certain reservations covering the problem of national defence, leaving it to the Irish people to settle their internal' difficulties themselves. The House of Commons, by a vote of 52 to 13, has rejected a motion expressing the opinion that the government had been guilty of extravagance. Lord Beaverbrook declared that inflation was the real cause of the financial troubles. He deprecated the proposed capital levy and Increase in income tax and advocated the taxation of war fortunes which he stated would serve to raise $7,500,000,000. Lord Birkenhead repudiated the charge against the government of extravagance. He stated that the administration in the last year had made a sincere effort to practise economy. In the House of Commons last week Major Lane Fox asked the Premier If he was aware that there was a growing feeling throughout the country against bringing the ex-Kaiser to trial and in favor of leaving him to the punishment of his own conscience and the contempt ol the world. He asked If the government would submit the matter to a vote In the House before carrying out the provision of the pence treaty, or whether the provision was so binding as to render such avoidance of it Impossible. Mr. Bonar Law replied that he was not aware of any wave of feeling against the trial. The government saw no reason why this provision of the peace treaty, which had been approved by the House, should not be carried out. FOR Fire, Life and Accident Insurance THOS. H.

C Brown Succumbs After Undergoing Operation. Ladies' Auxiliary Meets. The semi-monthly meeting ot the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Great War Veterans' Association was held on Thursday evening in the Presbyterian Hall.. There was a large attendance and two new members were received. The principal business transacted was in connection with the masquerade hall to be held Tuesday evening next at the llo-Ilo Dance Hall. Was Prominent in Good Works and Had Many Close Friends A wave of sadness swept over the city on Saturday last when It became known that Mrs. Brown, wife of Copt. J. C. Brown, had died at the Cumberland General Hospital as the result of an operation. Tho circumstances surrounding flic demise of thin lady are particularly pathetic. Capt. Brown had only returned from overseas a short time after having seen more than four years of active service, and the family had every reason to look forward to a life of happiness and contentment alter the many severely trying months of separation and danger. The deceased lady had made for herself a host of friends in and about Cumberland, among whom she was known as ;i devoted wife and mother, a consistent friend and one who was ever zealous in good works, aud her passing away is a distinct loss to the community. Besides her husband and three little girls, the late Mrs. Brown has left to mourn her loss her mother, Mrs. Mac- Donald, of Cumberland, a brother, Mayor MacDonald of this city, arid two sisters, Mrs. Arthur Evans, of Esquimalt, and Miss MacDonald of Cumberland. The many beautiful floral tributes, together witli the large number of friends who accompanied the remains lo flic grave, were a striking testimony lo thc love and respect which went out to Mrs. Brown in the community. Chinamen and the Drug. The provincial police made a raid on the premises of a Chinaman at Bevan and found Chow Win in possession of opium. He was fined $50 and costs. Wong See and Wong Yee were also gathered in and found guilty of smoking and Inhaling the drug. They were each fined $10 and costs. Landlady Pleads Guilty. The landlady of the Beaver Inn, who was charged with keeping a house of ill-fame last week, pleaded guilty before the magistrate and paid the fine of $50 and costs. One of the inmates of the house also entered the same plea and left town after paying her line. Card of Thanks. Capt. J. C. Brown and family wish to tender their heartfelt thanks to their many friends for the many touching kindnesses shown them ln their recent bereavement. Guilty With Suspended Sentence. M. Stafford, the Courtenay farmer who was charged with theft, was ,'ound guilty by the magistrate and waa allowed to go on suspended sentence because of his family. Rewards for Proficiency. Miss H. Harrison of the public ichool staff has been awarded the .iecond certificate of the province for her class work in physical drill.
