BRITISH COLUMBIA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1928 SUUSCKIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM Steel Mill Causes Local Excitement Biff Steel Mill at Comox Inside of One Year Is Predicted Quite a. lot of excitement was caused locally during the past week when the Vancouver dally papers curried a news Item to the effect that u steel mill would be an actuality at Comox within one year. Frankly speaking we also goi excited ami again interviewed a prominent business man who Is .supposed to "have Inside in- tormatlon." Two weeks ago this same man told us that so far as a steel mill was concerned "there was nothing to It," As slated we again Interviewed the gentleman. This time his only remark was "piffle." Anyway we are sharing the excitement of quite a few of the residents and whilst a steel mill at Comox would undoubtedly benefit the whole district, we aro of the opinion that the community lo benelll most would be Uoyston. The popular seaside resort would be b a magnificent residential district for ihe many hundreds that would of necessity find employment at tho big mill across the bay. The following is ihe account appearing in the daily papers and we publish it for the benefit of our readers who do not happen to have read It before: Vancouver -Steel production, on a scale which will vie with that of the world's largest centres, will become one of the ureal Industries of the coast, within the next year, according to J. W. (foldsworth. managing director of the Iron Processes, Ltd., of London, now visiting Vancouver. Discovery by Mr. Ilolsworth of thc iron properties of black sand, that is found in large quantities on Vancouver Island, Texada Island, and in the Queen Charlotto Islands, has decided his company to establish steel centres at those points. Mr. Molds- worth stated. "The first," he said, "will be started within the next twlovo months at Comox harbor." The particular virtue of this black Hand. Mr. Holdaworth explained, was that ils utilization in steel production eliminated the stages of pig-iron production and subsequent "puddling" which In the past has been inevitable steps In the process. By the new method, be said, steel would be produced In two nnd u half days, instead of the week which had always been considered the fastest production time possible. "Moreover," Mr. Holdsworth added, "by using black sand, it is possible to minimize the cost of production. A most valuable by-product from the raw material, which can be obtained in largo quantities, is alloy of titanium, used in manufacture of ioois to? steel working. And In some of the deposits gold and platinum are to be found in such high percentages that steel production will give place to the mining of these mineral!'. Thus we can be assured of an income which Is only indirectly connected with the actual steel production." Although he believes thai sufficient runds are ai hand to make the British company independent of outside capital, Mr. Holdsworth intends to return lo England through New York, where a conference is being held liy Lord Melchett, Charles M, Schwab, nnd the directors ut' Chase's bank. The conference concerns the llrst Anglo-American financial compromise, Involving some £600,000,000, and be intends lo investigate the possibilities of utilization of a portion of this capital in connection with the proposed steel Industry on the coast.

COURTENAY LOOKING AHEAD At the meeting of the Board of Trade on Tuesday night, Mr. John Inglis brought up the question of the provision of a landing place for airplanes. He said that ln view of the Increasing popularity of air travel, the Board of Trade should interest themselves in acquiirng such n landing ground. It would require a plot about 500 yards square, It would not be long before such a place would be as much of a necessity as a railway depot, ln fact In some countries lt was so now. Mr. Wood, thc secretary, said that he thought if the Dominion Government were asked, they would send 'i man from the Air Department to give any advice along this matter and on motion by Mr. Inglis, seconded by Mr. Wood, a letter is to be forwarded to the government asking them to send a man to look Into the requirements with a view to establishing an air port, the question being referred to the Industrial Committee. Mr. Wood suggested that the Board of Trade ask the Board of School Trustees to Include a certain amount of rudimentary aviation and construction of airplanes in their manual training course. Mr. Inglis said this had already been considered by thc trustees and would undoubtedly be Included. The Tecent drawing by the lady Foresters wont to the lucky holder of ticket No. 12. Members of Canadian Club Hear Eloquent Address Speaking on "The Point of View of the Maritimes," Mr. W. G. Ernst, MP,, for Queens-Lunenburg, N.S.. addressed the Canadian Club in the dining room of the Native Sons' Hall on Friday evening, those who attended coming away with a different Idea of the problems facing the provinces of the extreme eastern part of the Dominion. After a most delightful luncheon in charge of Mrs. McPhee and Mrs. McLennan, the president. Mr, B. S. Abrams, introduced the speaker, who, he said, had won a Rhodes" .scholarship and gone to Oxford In 1919. Upon his return he had taken up the practice of law and waa looked upon as one of the coming men of Canada. The problems of the Maritimes. said Mr. Ernst, could be placed under three heads: Geographical, Historical and Industrial. They were connected with Quebec by the Qaspe Peninsula, which! in places was only thirty miles wide,, and the State of Maine nearly cut them off from the rest of Canada., This meant that they were 250 miles further away from the rest of Canada than if they could go through In a, straight Hne which meant much in the hauage of freight. They had no immigration problems, as the great tide of immigration experienced by Canada since 1900 has passed by the Maritimes, practically, the whole population being descended from pioneer stock. Agriculture was the chief industry, with fishing coming next, but due to the Fordney tariff the markets of the eastern states was closed to them and they suffered from a lack of markets. There were a great many small manufacturing concerns In the market for the products of which was domestic. Prior to Confederation, prosperity had been notable in the Maritime provinces. The wooden ships of Nova Scotia sailed the world round, and political leaders anticipated 500,000 Maritimes' seamen would be counted before long. That expectation failed when the wooden ship was superseded. To the Maritimes Confederation was held out by Ontario and Quebec as a means to open great markets to the Industries of Nova Scotia- und New Brunswick. Those pictures of prosperity, drawn In good faith, have never been realized, said Mr. Ernst. The agitation for secession was reviewed, Mr. Ernst portraying the stagnation which followed adoption by the United States of the Fordney-McCum- ber tariff. Emigration of young people and other factors in the dissatisfaction were mentioned. Believing the difficulties of thc Maritimes could be solved within Confederation, a Royal Commission had been formed to investigate. The report presented- by the Duncan Commission showed that increased subsidies to the three Maritime Provinces were warranted, because of lack of provincial lands. The three Eastern Provinces had made possible the development of Canada, with addition of great land: areas to other Western Provinces. The Maritimes were therefore entitled to ai "quid pro quo" ln lieu of land. Mr. Ernst reviewed the grounds whereon the Duncan Commission advised that freight rates on westbound traffic should be twenty per cent less than on eastbound goods. The effect was already notable in improved conditions. The Duncan Commission had recommended payment by the Dominion if a bounty on coal, equal to thc duty Imposed, but this had not been given effect. Also awaiting action was the recommendation that Halifax and St. John be established as Canada's Winter ports, by concessions which would divert trade from Boston and Portland. "Do not think I come from the Maritimes ln any spirit of pessimism. Conditions there are now better than I can remember," said Mr. Ernst in closing. At the close of Mr, Ernst's eloquent address a hearty vote of thanks was moved by Mr. J, M. Mitchell, seconded by Mr. J. H. Eakln. LOCAL" COUPLE WED; A weding of considerable Interest to residents of Cumberland was sol-: emnlzed on Saturday last at Ladysmlth, when Katherlne, second daugli-j ter of .Mr. and Mrs. Sam.

Official Going to Pittsburgh to Learn Latest Scientific Development Victoria. Nov, 16. To keep the Provincial Government in close touch with the latest scientific developments In the use of coal, Hon. W, A. McKenzie. minister of mines, today Instructed James Dixon, chief inspector of mines, to represent the province at the second international conference on bituminous coal, at Pittsburgh, under the Carnegie Institute. Mr, Dixon will leave for the conference tonight. "The very latest discoveries lu the use of coal, now one of the groat economic problems before the world." Mr. McKenzle said. "We are confident therefore, that Mr. Dixon will be able to bring back with him Information of the greatest value to this province and to the government in its efforts to promote the use of our coal resources in preference to imported oil, Facts which could not be ascertained without extensive experimentation, which we can not afford, will be assembled at the meeting, we understand." Mr. McKenzte's Instructions to Mr. Dixon are along the lines of the policy which he laid down when lie took over the mines portfolio. In his efforts to Increase the use of U. C. Coal, he is arranging to Install the latest coal-burning equipment In public buildings where thla is practicable and to remodel some existing plants to demonstrate the economic value of the ii.

B.C., Nov. 13.—With the parliamentary session, now less than two months away, and Christmas holiday interferences necessarily to bo allowed for. it would appear to an outsider fully time thnt Premier Tolmie and his ministers should decisively refuse themselves to the multitude of their interviewers and begin intensive study and more than ordtnarl- ity thorough preparation of the sessional programme, At this coming session and by its works und their displayed familiarity during its progress with the country's business, Hon Tolmie and his associates will In- judged more critically and upon ampler evidence than was before the Grand Jury of the electorate last July. They cannot afford to perpetuate the mistakes for which, as the Opposition, they took to task the Govern- ment they have now replaced. They must be ready, as promised, with COM- I tructlve legislation. Their speech from the Throne must disclose the outstanding features of un important sessional program.

A very impressive service was conducted by the Revs. 0, O. Robathan and J. It. Hewitt, of Cumberland, ami both returned men. The Rev. J, R. Hewitt delivered n very touching address, taken from the 7th chapter of the book of Revelations, verse 9, "ll hardly seems possible," said the Reverend gentleman, "that ten years have passed since the Armistice. Iu Frunce, Belgium and In fact every place where Canadian soldiers had been engaged, monuments had been erected to tbe memory of Canadian troops. In almost every community In the Dominion, memorials, such as the one in Cumberland keep alive tho memory of those bitter years." He spoke of the present, condition of France and Belgium, where only a few short years ago, all wus devastated, crops now grow and poppies bloom. "In observance of Armistice Day." said Mr. Hewitt, "we should not only remember those who never did return, but also those who have returned, broken in body aud mind. It is so seasy In forget aud we have done little enough for them. Let us never rorget the children of those who are maimed ami broken, and the orphans of those who did not return but. strfvo and give them the chance in life they might have had." Cnncluding the speaker said, "the war has knit close the ties between tbe dominions and tlie motherland and cemented the friendship of France and Britain. May Canada use her influence as a nation fur world pence." The president of the local Veterans. Arr.

NOVEMBER 16, 1928 The Cumberland Islander PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT CUMBERLAND, B. C. EDWARD W. BICKLE FRIDAY, .NOVEMBER 10, IB28 COAL AM) TH TAK1FK A TARIFF PROBLEM which cannot be solved without much heart-burning on the part of conflicting interests is before the tariff commission just now, in the matter of the duty on bituminous coal coming Into Canada. To help the miners of Nova Scotia, who have nl very tragic experiences of late years, tho Canadian government maintains a duty or fifty per cent, per ton un bituminous coal, and recently has stiffened this duty to apply to slack as well as lhe higher gratle of coal; but ibis attention on the part of Canada has been met by an addition to the United Staes tariff law. Although coal Is on tin- free list for admission to that counry. an exception i- made In thai if any country imposes a duty on coal, "an equal duty shall be imposed such article coming Into tho United States from such country." This is part of the Pordney tariff, enacted In 1923; and the effect upon British Columbia coal shipments to the United States has beeen to reduce them from 1,419,786 tons in 1922. with a value of $8,252,955, to 404,134 tons in 1926, with a value of $1,950,992. No wonder that British Columbia has been taking official notice of the conditions so brought about, What tlie late provincial government did In the matter does not appear from the published record of the tarilf commission, which notes simply that Mr. A, C. Boyce. K.C., has been instructed to appear on behalf of the present Attorney-General; bul at the date when the hearing of his case opened on the 27th September Mr. Boyce had not received full instructions. The British Columbia case therefore was presented by the Crow's Nest coal company and by the representative of the miners of Fernie. in the Crow's Nest district, who mentioned Incidentally that their represenatlons had been before tlie tariff commission in 1926, and frequently pressed since then seemingly without receiving any effective attention. The miners of Vancouver Island nre also injuriously affected by the tax upon entry to their former chief market, in the United States, The Crow's Nest Company says In their presentation: The Crow's Nest District has not the advantage or being on lhe sea but it is served by two lines of railway, tho Canadian Pacific and the Great Northern, both entering the United States. Southeastern British Columbia, and southwestern Alberta are at present sparsely settled so that we have little or no market in our Immediate vicinity in Canada. Consequently, in order to reach customers in this country we are compelled to ship hundreds of miles hy rail. There is. however, south of tbe international boundary, a fairly- large and increasing population, which we can reach by | rail on a reasonably short haul. The combined population of Washington. Oregon, Idaho aud Montana Is, as a matter of fact, nearly four millions al the present time. Prior to September 1922, when the United States Act known as the Pordney Tariff came into force. Canada had for many years Imposed a duty on bituminous coal, while our coal for some years had been admitted free into the' United States. Congress, however, in the Fonlney Act put the onus on Canada of deciding what the turiff on coal I should be between the two countries. There nre certain rebates or drawbacks given by Canada j which we will refer to later, hut, we wish to point out here i that there Is no provision for similar rebates or drawbacks in the United States Tariff. Thc result is that there is a duty on all Canadian bituminous coal and slack going j into the United States of 50 cents a ton. This duty considered in connection with the element nf freight rates, necessarily crieunwribes the area in the United Stales in which we can do business, as 5(1 cents will carry a ton of i oni many miles, particularly at the end of a long haul. Tin- wonder i*. noi 'hat we should have done so little business, but that wo should have been able to do any business at all in ibe United Stales since the Fordney Act cams into force. The representation of the Fernie miners. Mr. Enoch Baddeley, filed their petition showing that the number of men employed by the Crows Nest company has declined from 20011 to Mon, and that even with this reduced number of mon they have had to accept a reduction of wages from $6.50 to ?■! a day.and have been working only half time. The '.niners ask not only for tho removal of the duty, but also for the abolition of sales tax on coal, and for the admission duty free of machinery and other supplies essential to the production of coal. They also refer to the assistance being given to mining in Alberta in the shape of specially low freight rales tn Ontario and urge that this form of relief should be extended to British Columbia. The bearing of ihe case has been adjourned by the commission ton date to be fixed, Them Is time to get a report and recommendation to parliament in time for action at the next session; but in a case of this difficulty it Is not to be expected that the government will hasten action. -The British Columbian. lK£r**JaBafcw~..3(B^,..-.;^afc,.

Far from being the simple affair that some people imagine, modern logging is a complicated scientific operation entailing enormous expenditure and involving severe risks by land and sea.

"Under Its charter the British Columbia Telephone Company has in power to go into the radiotelephone business," explained Mr. Halse In a statement. "It has become obvious to the executive of the company, however, that the radiotelephone offers the only practical method of giving service to many outlying points, and consequently we propose to form a separate company to carry out this work, The name of the new company will be the Provincial Telephone Company, and a charter will be sought nt the next session of the Provincial Legislature. The necessary advertisements to comply with the legal requirements are now being published. "During the past summer I visited the West Coast of Vancouver Island for the purpose of studying the question of giving telephone service to the many Industries scattered along that rugged shore. Through an arrangement with the Dominion Government tl has been possible to give telephone service—of a sort— to some of these places over the government telegraph lines after telegraph hours, nnd we have further plans for Improving this service, but still tt will not take care of a great number of points which canot be reached by wire.

The Public Health Nurse During the past few years, a great ] deal haa been learned concerning the I prevention ot disease and the tm- i provement ot health. Today we have , a fund ot knowledge which, if we j were to use it, would result In less I sickness, fewer deaths and better j health, thereby Increasing the well-1 being ot mankind. The problem that faces public health workers la, first of all, to see that this knowledge is imparted to every individual, and then that it is put into every-day practice. The moat successful method ot carrying the health message to the In- I Jjj^'ta dividual is through the Public Hcaltn Nurse. She might well be called the Health Teacher of the community, because that Is what she is. By word ot mouth she imparts health knowledge; by demonstration she show* how to put such knowledge into practice; by encouragement she helps through difficult times tha troqulre perserverance; by planning with the mother, she aids tn securing propor food for the family. Because her work is done mostly with Individuals, It is not seen bv the masses. Because It Is not seen. because It does not advertise Itself, there Is not the general appreciation of lt that there should be. It Is not known, as it deserves to be, that the education of mothers as to the car,' of their babies, by public health nurses. Is the greatest factor tn the reduction of infant deaths. Mothers do not know by Instinct and the woman who knows all about babies because "she hurled six" do not make good teachers. The Public Health Nurs.; Is trained; she has modern knowledge to impart. The citizen who desires to have the babies In his community protcctel from disease and their health promoted, should see that there Is a sufficient number of Public Health Nurses ti serve the continuity in which he lives. | Disinfection | So many enquiries have oeen made ! concerning the disinfection of a room { or house after u case of communicable : disease has occurred, that the matter ; is chosen for ttie subject of this art- 1 Icle. ] The objective ot disinfection is to | destroy the germs which cause dis- ] ease. Disease germs grow only inside the human or animal body. They leave the body of ttie sick in th. discharges and secretions of the body. Once outside of lite body, the germs die off—most oftbeul very quickly. Drying and sunlight arenalure's methods of destroying these enemies. Dark damp corners delay nature's action. Concurrent disinfection is the term used to mean the disinfection that i carried on during a disease. It aims by prompt disinfection of the body discharges and secretions .to destroy the disease germs they contain before iy chance of their coining in contact with some well person. The eating utensils are disinfected to destroy the germs in the saliva that is left on cups, spoons, etc.. by the diseased person. Concurrent dlslnfet ■ tion is most Important and must tie thoroughly carried out until the pa tlent has recovered. Terminal disinfection ts tho term used to mean the disinfection after recovery of thc patient. If concurrent Disinfection has been properly observed, there Is no need of Terminal Disinfection, because all the secretions wtil have been looked after. This is tiie point which needs to be clearly understood; proper care (luting tho disease prevents its spread , To try and kill off a f ewgerms that may hare survived in a room, after the recovery ofa patient, is a matter of practically no importance compared with the need for destruction of the millions of germs given off during the course of the disease. Terminal Disinfection has been discontinued in many cities, and all attention given to Concurrent Disinfection.

Imagine Christmas in England in 1328, MO years ago. The dawn af the Reformation was all but breaking, but the Church still held plac* of power in state as in religion, and had been for centuries the fount of all learning. A primitive age—rough and relentless, and its people were primitive to a degree hardly conceivable in this age. Rough, hard living was lightened by rou.^h hard play and such church festivals aa Christmas were celebrated in carousing and high revels by. those as could command the means for such employment. Religious teaching came to the mass of the people only by word of mouth, and as a means of making the New Testament stories living and understandable, incidents of the Bible story were presented in simple plays as primitive as the understandings of their audiences. They were called Mystery Plays and one of the first of them, and, therefore, perhaps, the first of all plays to he performed in England was the story of the adoration of the shepherds and the Magi, written by Randall Higden, a monk of Chester Abbey and first performed at Christmas in the year 1328, just six hundred years ago. From thai day to this is a long time, but there has been a revival of interest in the beautiful things of mediaeval days, and a few years ago the Chester Mysteries were brought to Canada and presented for the first time in America at Hart House Theatre, Toronto University. There they met with instantaneous success, and for several Christmases were a feature of Toronto's holiday celebration. Later they were presented as part of a Christmas service in the chancel of the church o! St. Mary Magdalene, Toronto, It will next be seen at Victoria, B.C., as part of the old English Christmas celebration that is being arranged to take place at the Empress Hotel thert? this year * It will be the central feature of a notable revival of the Christmas customs of England dating from the middle ages down to the time of Dickens and Mr. Pickwick. In the costumes of that periods, singers, actors and musicians will, between Christmas and Twelfth Night lead the revels and the entire celebration will wind up with a costume ball. Victoria is already famous a? a winter resort. Its mild, pleasant weather permitting golf and motoring practically every day and its wonderful salt-water swimming baths have made the most English city in North America an ideal place in which to spend the winter, and with the programme of Christmas revels it is likely that the number of visitors to that city from the prairies and from some of the western states will be unusually large. World Of j Provincial Politics; (Continued from Page One) I structlon and maintenance of trunk highways, trom which the federal j treasury has profited to the extent of more than (200,000,000 during recent years. The Federal by-election contest precipitated by Hon. Dr. Tolmie's withdrawal from Dominion politics, promises to be lukewarm at its peak of intensity. The late Premier. Dr. J. D. MacLean, by unique coincidence, now the Liberal candidate for the seat vacated by his successful opponent lu July last when he assailed Dr. Tolmie as unfamiliar with the complexity of provincial politics. As to Federal affairs, this identical argument would apply, to his own confusion, with even greater force. This does not however, suggest that his aspirations are doomed for disappointment. The contrary would seem more likely. His opponent, Mr. D. B. Plunkett. admittedly Is not strong, and will not even poll the nor mally solid Tory vote of this long Conservative capital. There are indeed, within his party many who would have held It preferably strategy to have cancelled the scat to Dr. MacLean with a large gesture of generosity, a by-election offering no conclusive test of major party policies- reserving a decisive campaign for the next Federal general test of strength with a strong candidate then put forward.

Superintendent of State Forests, New York State, in United States say 'No'. Dean Howe nays "an area of thirty square miles if set aside and managed for Christmas tree production, would supply the present demand for each year for all time." The average size of the Christmas tree marketed in the States is six feet. A spruee tree of this size can be inside of ten years and In tlie forest In fifteen. Mr. Howard says—"Trees are for use. and there is no other use to whl< h they could be put that would conrtlb- ute so much joy to mankind as their use by children on this great holiday.'1 He further states "In our state, a large proportion of Christmas trees are cut from pasture lands, where | they are a nuisance, or from other j Won-1 lands which the owner desires to clear j for farm purposes, so that the trees i would be cut In any event and the marketing Of them for Christmas gives the owner some return for hit.) labor." ni Europe where Forestry practice, lias reached Its highest development,! Christmas trees are thinnings which I are culled out of the forest, which practice actually Improves the forest. Hence there is scarcely a hut dweller who has not his Christmas tree. In Canada, the Canadian Forestry Association would advocate that in connection with forest plantations, there should he planted some spruce and balsam for Christmas trees. When they reach the proper size the owner can cut them out and market them and still leave the timber iree to mature for a timber crop. This source of supply would probably be sufficient to BUpply the home demand For export trade plantations of spruce and balsam should prove a profitable bnsi-, ness. Two thousand Christmas trees could be grown on one acre. Thus on a ten year rotation, ten square mllos would supply one and one-quart-1 er nillloln trees for all time; planting cost or less than one per cent per tree. Here Ih an opportunity for enterprth- j ing community, townships or Individuals to utilize some abandoned farms | to good purpose. This year In New Brunswick alone there is a demand for three million Christmas trees. For the present, however, certain rules of conduct should be observed. To cut the top off a perfectly good timber tree and leave tho body to nt i vate properly is plain theft and a In the bush is a criminal waste and question of public morals that should unworthy of a self respecting cltizen.| not be tolerated by any community To take a Christmas tree from pri-j Why not rather select your treo from SUPERIOR PRINTERS" Cumberland 0* W CHRISTMAS Seem la fattda meanini "lirth, nf hnppiti •>! i-in and ni pi- -.'<• pirturato on, feaHing ntul lhe rcvell\ nueh liiis nn empty ''"iv "away from hnn GO IIOMK THIS VBARa' Koi Hot enjoy any thing WE HAVE MAM IT SO [HA *BLY r rdalitn and jrit\ '.ore limn « tint from you VOU MAY fRAVEL COMFORT.
