'mm1Slmmmtm' ' * *p DECISION OF RAILWAY COMMISSION TheCumberland Board of Trade some time ago made application to the Railway Commission for interchange of tracks at Roystoi*i between the lines of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Limited and the E. and N. Railway. The following is the text of the findings:— The Canadian CollieriesLimited, a company incorporated by the Province of British Columbia, has a railway running from Cumberland to Union Wharf. This railway crosses the line of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway near a flag station on the latter railway called Royston. The crossing is about four and a half miles from Cumberland. There are no facilities at the diamond for the transhipment of passengers, express, or freight. At present passengers get off at Royston and walk about 2,500 feet along a highway until they come to the Collieries railway where they can get a train for Cumberland. In October last one of the Inspectors of the Board reports that one day there were as many as twenty three passengers transferred from one line to the other; and, from the evidence put in at Victoria it is apparent there would be considerable passenger travel between points on the E. and N. and Cumberland if this connection were put in and proper facilities for the transfer | of passengers and their baggage established. The only way to get freight into Cumberland at present, either C. L. or L. C. L., is to have it go over the Canadian Collieries line from Union Wharf. This makes it difficult for Cum-j berland merchants to deal with wholesale houses in Victoria. Cumberland has a population of three or four thousand inhabitants with some industries, and the indications are that it will grow. I think it is in the public interest that there should be suitable j facilities established near the crossing of these railways for the transfer of passengers, baggage, express and freight, both E. L.! and L.C.L. The Canadian Collieries Limited is not under the; jurisdiction of this Board and we; have no power to order it to pay a portion of the cost of this undertaking. Nevertheless, I think it should contribute a portion of the cost of the work to be done, and I believe that if the connection were put in it would prove to be beneficial to the Collieries line. The connection would, I believe, be more bene- ficial to the E. and N. Railway Company and I therefore think | CANADIAN LINER TO BE HOSPITAL SHIP FOE INDIAN TROOPS The Gaekwar of Baroda, said to be the wealthiest prince in the Indian Empire, has purchased the C.P.R. liner Empress ot India, which he will turn over for use as a hospital ship for the Indian troops. The Empress of India has plied between the Orient and ports on the Fncific coast for 23 years. The vessel and her purchaser are shown in the picture. that Company should contribute the larger portion of the cost. After consultation with the Board's Chief Engineer and Operating Officer, I have come to the conclusion that a fair division of the cost would be: two-thirds to be paid by the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway and one-third by the Canadian Collieries Limited. Both these officers agree that this will be a fair distribution of the cost. Plans should be prepared by the E. and N. Railway Company to be submitted for. the approval of the Board, showing track connection and station facilities. Royston station building is on the wrong side of the track and therefore should be moved. Probably expense could be saved if when moving the station to the other side of the track it were also moved nearer to the diamond so that the connecting line would be as short as possible. We will make an order requiring the Esquimau and Nanaimo Railway Company to do the work on condition that the Canadian Collieries Limited consent to assume one-third of the cost; or, is ordered to contribute that amount by some forum having jurisdiction over it. Neither railway company should receive anything for any portion of its land which it will be necessary for it to use in constructing the interchange. The plans of the proposed layout to be submitted by the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Company should be sent to the Board by the first of March next and copies of it supplied to the Canadian Collieries Limited and the British Columbia Government.

Dunne, merchant tailor of this city, was voted to the chair and Mr. John G. Biggs, recently appointed secretary to the Board of Examiners, was asked to act as secretary of the meeting. The Chairman in his opening remarks stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of organizing the Liberal association, as there had been considerable dissatisfaction at Courtenay and other portions of the district. He (theChairman) was requested to call the public meeting to give all good Liberals an opportunity to voice their opinions. There had been no meeting of Liberals during the past eight years. The Chairman then requested all those present who were not Liberals to be kind enough to leave the hall. The Islander man, of course, was at the meeting looking for news, and at such a request picked up his hat and left the building. So the Islander is unable to report any further proceedings. It has been reported that the Liberal meeting was turned into a Robbie Burns gathering before the evening was far spent. Passers by saw Pretty Poll, the parrot, a rank red flag Socialist, standing in the doorway of the hall calling upon good Conservatives to step in and sign the roll of membership, but there was nothing doing.

The plaintiff, Miss Macwhackle had brought an action involving a large sum for damages, against I Mr. Edwin Stoppitofsky, for the alleged breach of promise. The defendant. Mr. Stoppit- i ofsky, pleaded not guilty. Both parties are well known in the district, and the court was crowded to the doors when the case came up for hearing. Mr. Tootight appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. H. A. Seed appeared for the defendant. Mr. Tootight opened the case on behalf of the plaintiff in a very impassioned speech, and then proceeded to call his witnesses.

The meeting adjourned. witness stand, denied stoutly making any promise of marriage. His Honor in charging the jury said that they had to take the evidence as submitted.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 30th, 1915. j[,N VIEW OF THE attitude of the Liberal lead- '■*■*■ ers in 1912, when they blocked the naval proposals of the Borden Government, scoffed at the advice of the British Admiralty, scorned the thought of war, and idealised the character of the Kaiser as a peacemaker and the German nation as a peace-loving people, one would think that today, with the British Empire tacingsuch a tremendous, crisis, they would be, metaphysically, in sackcloth and ashes. 1 i The following extract from an article by a distinguished writer in the latest issue of the "Round Table," a non-political publication devoted to the welfare of the Empire, places the case clearly and unmistakably. It is well worth the thoughtful consideration of all Canadians who have the welfare of the Empire at heart:-- " The people of the British Empire have learnt much during the last three months, and will learn more still before the war is over, as to the true source of their strength. Command of sea, now as always, stands between the Empire and destruction. Command of sea is all that separates j victory and disaster. So long as the British Navy commands the sea the British Empire cannot be defeated. If it loses command of the sea the Empire cannot win. All discussion of financial, economic, or other war problems, must finally come down to that simple elementary truth, and it would be well were it burnt into the mind of every subject of the King throughout the world. " If a defeat were ever to come, then Great Britain, with all her dominions, would lose every-1 thing: Empire, possessions, shipping and com-' merce. Their colonies would be taken, their coaling stations seized, their ships sunk and their commerce destroyed; all that would be an easy task for a victorious fleet. Neither Conventions nor Declarations, neither Hague Tribunals nor Laws of Nations, would prevent our foes from employing every weapon to their hand for our destruction. 1 Fortunately, we have good faith that the British fleet is more than equal to the task before it, and for this let us be thankful that we did not listen to those misguided doctrinaires, who wilh their incapacity to look facts in the face, to distinguish the real from the unreal, urged us in season and out of season to weaken our fleet, and fatally to reduce even that small margin of insurance on which not a few paltry millions, but our whole life and nationhood, depend. Let us also, throughout the Empire, mark and learn the lessons which this war will teach us. While every part of the Empire is equally and vitally concerned in the command of the sea, yet the very breath of the Empire's fleet is unity. If the Grand Fleet itself is defeated, small, weak, and distant squadrons must either ^uselessly keep their harbour or be sent to the bottom. The shores and commerce of all the Dominions, as well as of the British Islands, will then be open to the attack of the victorious enemy. The whole Empire is, therefore, equally concerned in the Navy's strength, and it is vital to every part that in this and every war there shall be present on the day of decision and at the decisive point an irresistible and united Fleet." The Market Value of Printing Ilif printing used success- ^ fully to sell merchandise there are two values. One includes the material and labor used; the other results from the the ability to make the printing effective as a selling force. One value is produced mechanically, the other by mental processes which are similar to those employed by # architects and in the various professions, and this is very frequently the larger value. The printer sells to the manufacturers and the merchants the most potential and profitable method of salesmanship that has been or ever will be devised. The cost of selling by printing is very much less than by any other plan equally far-reaching in scope. The permanent character of the results that are obtained by printed salesmanship is one of its most remarkable qualities. The printer's art can extend the customer's market as far as the ambition and enterprize of the customer prescribes, bridging seas and crossing continents, and speaking all tongues. No other expenditure returns itself so quickly, bringing with it a perennial stream of profits, as that for printing. THE "ISLANDER" JOB DEPARTMENT T. D.

Upon their armlet they bear the Red Cross sign, but this has not prevented the Germans on many occasions from firing on them in order that they may be prevented from succoring and binding up the wounded and the fallen. These are brave women, and when the smoke of battle has died away and peace has once again been restored upon the continent of Europe, the work that thev have performed and the brave acts they have done will be written in letters of gold in the imperishable annals of British history.
