BRITISH C0LUMB1 A, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1922 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLL ARS PER ANNUM. Attorney General Gives Instructions That Douglas Case Be Appealed Magistrate Baird Threw rCase Out on Strength of Det'en dant's Evidence.—Case Be comes Controversy Between Government and Liquor Control Board. A short while ago William Douglas, ugcnt for the Sliver Spring Brewery, was tried before Magistrate Balrd on a charge of unlawfully having beer in bis possession. Mr. A. Lelghton, of Nanaimo, defended the case and adduced evidence to show that the accused was taking beer from the warehouse to his home and warehouse at Courtenay, for the purpose of private consumption. The following letter was also placed in evidence, purporting to be signed by A. M. Johnson, chairman of the Liquor Control Board: Exhibit "A" Liquor Control Board. Victoria, Sept. 5, 1922. Albert J. Merry, Esq., Chief of Police, Cumberland, B. C. Re William Douglas. Dear Sir,—Referring to yours of the 1st lust., received this morning, no ruling as such concerning gifts ot beer has been made by the Board. Some months ago Harry Maynard, manger of the Sliver Spring Brewery, asked me whether it was lawful for breweries to make their agents gifts of beer. I advlBed him that there was nothing in the Act to prevent tho v breweries from so doing. All that we wished to know was the quantity ot beer that had been so donated, the date, and that a record of same be kept for our Brewery Inspectors. 1 gave him then distinctly to understand that the right to give beer to their agents was not to be used by tho agents as an excuse for selling beer from the agency. The brewers have also been in the habit of sending their agents quantities of beer to replace shortages and breakages in tho stores. We havo found from experience that we cannot check the brewery agents closoly, because they always come back with the story, either that the beer was donated to the agent or was used for replacement. In the case of Douglas, It occurs to me that he told you the truth on the evening of the 26th ult. He certainly had the right to take the beer from the Cumberland storage, for his own use, and if the magistrate believes that he is telling the truth in this lespect, then he has committed no offence. Yours truly, (Signed) A. M. Johnson, Chairman. After hearing tiie evidence, Magistrate Baird dismissed the case, stating that there could be no charge made under the circumstances. Acting under Instructions from tho Provincial Attorney General's Department, on September 16th, P. P. Harrison entered an appeal in this case, and same will come up for hearing on October 11th, It would appear from the evidence presented in the original hearing of this case, that there could be no charge against Douglas, but the Attorney General's Department apparently does not intend to accept the ruling of the Liquor Control Board on the question'fit a brewery agent taking beer from his warehouse to his homo for private consumption, and intends to fight the case to a finish.

The following report of the year'R work was read by the secretary, Dr. B. R. Hicks: "During the year" the P. T. A. held seven regular and one special meeting, and four meetings of the executive. The membership for the year was thirty-two. "The activities of the Cumberland P. T. A. have been' many and varied During the year three valuuble papers entitled "The Value of Moving Pictures," "Child Mentality" and "Cumberland School Problems and a Way Out," have been read and discussed ut the various meetings. Another meeting was devoted to explaining and discussing the "New System ot Examining the Entrance Class"; another was given up to an explanation by- Mr. MacKenzie, of Vancouver, on the school system iu New Zealand. We ure indebted to the Teachers' Association for Mr. MacKenzie's trip to Cumberland. This association paid halt the cost of his transportation and helped lo entertain him while here. "Tho library committee has pur- ihiised the National Geographic Magazine and placed it In the library, and Hie teachers have added two other magazines to the library, of a type suitable to ussist them in their work. ' One of the outstanding achievements of the year was the effort ot this association to stimulate the student body to do better work. To do this ihey offered two prizes to every class In the school; one to be given lo tho pupil mailing tiie highest marks, and the other to the pupil that made tlle must progress during the year. The funds with which to purchase these prizes were raised by subscriptions solicited by various members of the association. Towards this fund the Japanese gave $101.25; the Chinese, $52.50, and the citizens ot Cumberland, $56.50. Out of this amount $124.50 was spent in purchasing prizes. "The Canadian Collieries (Duns- iiiuir) Limited wero solicited for a special prize for the matriculation class. Ab a result, a $20.00 gold modal ivus donated, to be given every year lo the student in the Junior Matriculation Class that makes the highest marks. This medal Is to be given only when the average of the student Is above sixty-five per cent. The medal this year was won^by Frank (Continued on Page 8). Literary and Athletic Club's Splendid Home Used by 560 Members Library, Lecture Hall, Billiard Room, Reading and Writing Rooms Afford Wonderful Educational and Entertainment Features at a Minimum Cost Through the Kindness of Company in Supplying Such a Splendid Building. As a result of a vote by the employees that they would pay for tho maintenance, the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Limited, erected the' 137,000 building in Cumberland known as the Cumberland Literary and Athletic Club, and same has been at the disposal of the company's staff since January 20th, 1921. The club membership now consists of over 560 employees, all of whom make the best possible use of the splendid buildings at their disposal. Some very interesting data in connection with the Literary and Athletic Club has been given The Islander representative by the secretary, Mr. J. W. Tremlett, who explained that the club is managed by a board consisting of nine members elected by tha employees from among themselves and three appointed by the company. Club's Activities. The club is divided into six different departments, or units, of which the library Is one that probably entails the most detail work, as about twelve thousand books have been circulated In the year and-a-half that the club has been organized. The circulation averages about thirteen per cent, non fiction, and this percentage is increasing rapidly. The library membership Is 410. Newest Books. The club, through its affiliation with the Victoria Public Library, has an arrangement whereby the club receives a loan of six hundred books, three hundred of which are exchanged every six weeks. This service has proved most satisfactory and enables the members to enjoy the newest books shortly after - they are published. Bending Room Facilities. A very comfortable reading room has been fitted up with a big fireplace, easy chairs, and thirteen daily papers, four I weeklies, eleven engineering periodicals and fifty-four magazines. Across the hall is a writing room fitted up with two desks, stationery, etc.; in fact, everything for the convenience of the correspondent. Lecture Hall. The educational benefits which the members of this organization have re- coived since the opening of the build- j ing have been great, as the management was successful in securing last' winter several lectures from the B. C. University extension course on' "Structural Geology," "Astronomy" i and "Palentology." Aside from these, a aeries ot lectures was given under the auspices of the Department of Mines with the idea of educating prospectors. A large percentage of these lectures were well attended, and the management considers that they were\very successful considering the fact that It Is the first time anything of th* nature has been attempted iu this district. , " The lecture hall ts furnished with card tables for all kinds of games and facilities for the showing ot slide or moving pictures. » This Winter's Program. During the forthcoming winter, the club management Is planning to hare similar educational lectures given every fortnight, starting about December and continuing until April. Amusement Facilities. On the lower floor there Is a spacious billiard hall with three well- lighted tables, two for English billiards and one pool table. The prices to the members for playing on these tables was placed so low—only ten cents per half hour—that practically every one may enjoy the games as much as they like. The average number of games played per table per month during the past year has been nine hundred, which goes to show that the members are ardent billiard players. The tables have just recently been recovered and are again in first- class condition, and the club Is most appreciative. * Splendid Gymnasium. It The gymnasium shares the lower floor with the billiard hall, and contains .nil the. up-to-date apparati used in gymnasiums. Starting in October, the gym classes for seniors and juniors will - be organised and will meet three times a week. During the spring and summer, the club takes, its exercises entirely ln outdoor sports, In conjunction with the gymnasium, there is a change room and shower baths,, where a supply of hot water is always on hand so that anyone desiring baths may get same at any time. This room is fitted up with one hundred lockers, which are just large enough to place gym clothes ln, and these lockers are greatly ln demand. ThiB room Is also a great convenience to viBitlng athletes to Cumberland, as the club very kindly places it at their disposal. The management of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Limited, as well as the club management, 1b highly gratified at the splendid use which is being made of the association building.

The letter went ou as follows: ' Permit me in point out that during 1021 you received from school grants und Government grnnls Uie sum of -5,020.15.

IN ION BAY AND ~ CUMBERLAND DRAW CUMBERLAND INTERMEDIATES CONCEDE JAP BASEBALL CUP And Will Not Attempt to Lift League Cup From Handicapped Japanese Team. "And they lived happily ever after." Thus ends the story of the Intermediate baseball doings for the season 1922. The local Intermediates are the district champions for the season nf 1H22, and the Japanese team will be the Comox District Intermediate Baseball League winners for the season. The Japanese team has been itreatly handicapped lately, and the Cumberland team Is the only squad Came on Sunday at Union Bay Ends One Apiece. Cumberland Juniors and Union liny ended their soccer fixture on Sunday ut Union Boy In a tie,'each team registering a goal apiece. The local teuin had several "come-backs" nn their line-up who had hitherto shod ihelr studded shoes. In many cases It was a case of dash and youth versus the more experienced veterans. Any player who has not registered with a senior club or has not played lu n senior cup tie Is eligible for the junior ranks this year, and this was responsible for a few old faces on ilic Held again. About ten minutes after the commencement of play, young Campbell neat tbe Cumberland defence and cured .with a driving daisy cutter. The local crew were not to be beaten and soon had the ball at the other end. With a scramble In front of .the i.onl-mouth, Milo Damonte did tho trick. Amos Farmer played a great game for the locals, as did also Johnny .Icnvardl and Mich Mitchell. While lor the home team, Alex. Auchenvaule and the Campbell boys played well. The local team was as follows: Boffy, I.. Scavardi, J. Scavardl, Bond, Mitchell, Glover, Damonte, Delman, Fanner, Stevenson and Taylor.

PRIOR CUP Romp Home With a Shut-out Victory Over Bevan Ball Team. " You tell 'em, Cumberland Intermediates 1 The E. G. Prior Cup Is yours tor the season ot 1922." Playing one of their most brilliant games of the season, the local boys earned tbelr lirst shut-out victory of the season Jn the finals for the E. G. Prior trophy, emblematic of the Intermediate baseball championship of the Coniox district. Bevan was the victim, and there Is no doubt that the better team won. It was decided previous to the game that the game would also be a league fixture, as these two teams were due to meet here in a postponed game. Slant Fans 15. Harry Stant was the hurler for the visitors, and he certainly hogged the work. Fifteen stickers whiffing at his offerings. In this teat he shares the strike-out throne with Dave Hunden, the opposing slab artist, who has also fanned the same number in one game. Stant pitched nice ball, but weakened when hits meant runs. Dave Hunden, who was on the mound for the winners, pitched a line game. He was mighty careful who he handed out the hits to; only 5 safe hits being collected. Cumberland and Nanaimo Played to 1-1 Draw (From Nanaimo Free Press), Nanaimo and Cumberland met on the Central Sports Ground Sunday afternoon ln a league game and divided the honors, each scoring one goal! Both teams were out to win, nud the game was fast from start to finish. Zacarelll was off with an Injured knee, and Edmunds took his place on the full back line. Both goals were scored in the Ilrst half; Nanaimo registering the first shortly after the game started, when Fowler took a shot at the goal, tho ball bouncing back off the cross-bar, Hlnes getting the ball on the rebound and scoring on a well-placed shot. The local boys continued pressing, but missed several good chances by poor shooting. Cumberland also did considerable pressing, and were always dangerous. They evened tho score when Home dropped the ball In tbe corner of the net on a long shot, which gave Routledge little chance. After this goal, to the end of the Ilrst half, the game was very even, both teams trying in vain to add another goal. Once Cumberland seemed certain of scoring when Home from a corner kick, placed the ball In the mouth of the goal; for several minutes the local defence were kept busy keeping out the rain of shots put In by the visitors, but eventually In the league who can oust them from the silverware, and they decided that they would rather leave the cup tban attempt to take It from the weakened Japs. 9on£ size batteries Willard Batteries, of standard Willard quality, may be had for your Ford car—and at a price you'd expect to pay for a lot less valuel SPARKS CO.

To most people, the connecting or disconnecting of a Telephone seems a simple operation of installing or removing the instrument. As a matter of fact, in every case it necessitates changes in the cables and wires overhead or underground. It also necessitates changes in Central Office wires and switchboard fro mopen wires or cables. The problems of station connections; in subscribers' accounts and directory listings; and frequenter requires new "drop" lines from open wires or cables. The problems of station movement are among the large problems of telephone service. Because of the double operation of disconnecting and reconnecting, the work involved is often twice as great as in the case of new subscribers. British Columbia Telephone Co. AUCTION SALES E.

Eight THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23rd, 1982 Government Agent Endorses Cascade BEER THE BEER WITHOUT A PEER Vancouver-made Product is put to acid test on most difficult foreign markets in the world, and comes off with flying colors. Plans Started For A Pulp Mill At Lake Stetson On P.G.E. Line Cascade Beer has made good in India. This is the most trying climate in the world, and yet Cascade Beer kept there i'or more than a year had the same pleasant tang and was just as fresh and pleasing to the taste as when it left the Vancouver Breweries. There is no less an authority for this than H. A. Chisholm, trade commissioner i'or the Dominion Government. Writing to the Commercial Intelligence Journal, published by the Canadian Government, under date of May 13, this year, Mr. Chisholm says in part: "The last consignment reaching Calcutta is said to have been a shipment of 'Cascade' from Vancouver, landed in March, 19*21. "Ti .speaks well of this brand of Canadian Beer that, although it has been in store for over a year in one of the most trying climates in the world, its quality has not deteriorated and none of it lias gone bad. Its 'crown cupj' seem to have protected the contents better than corks have the German lu^rs. The writer was informed ihat this brand of Canadian Beer, although not as heavy as English Ale, produced a pleasant stimulating effect on the stomach that German lagers could not produce. According to many informants, this particular quality in Canadian Beer is just what is demanded in the tropics." Can there be a better endorsement than this for a hot- weather drink? Here is Cascade—a Vancouver-made product—that can be shipped to India, held for more than a year, and when upened prove to be more palatable and better adapted for a tropical beverage than beer manufactured right in India or imported from other famous breweries of the world. Stick to "Cascade" this hot weather. Chicago Financiers Would Use Bridge River Power and Government Railway For Paper Manufacture. Negotiations have been opened for the establishing ol another largo paper mill In this province by John Held, ot Vancouver, president ot the Bridge River Power Company, and tin. Seaman Paper Company; ot Chicago Mr. Seaman Is personally conducting he negotiations and has already Inter viewed Premier Oliver on the subject The Bridge River Power Company controls enormous waler-power right' and the Seaman Paper Company Ic known a:i one of the largest concern* ,il Its kind ln the United States. V. I). Simons, of Chicago, Is also Interested In the proposed mill. The Idea Is to erect the mill at Seton Luke, a hundrod miles up the P. 0 10, railway from Squaralsh. The Chicago financiers uie busy at presen. looking into the water-power facilities im,I pulp wood resources of the surrounding district, trom which they will draw their raw material. The Seaman Interests are now look- j Ing to British Columbia for their ra>v ,' material, following the decision of the yi'dlcate formed by the Chicago Dully News and the Chicago Tribune to establish their $3,500,000 paper plant at Elko, B.

Owing to the prolonged dry weather we find that it is necessary to restrict the use of water, as if we allow the present enormous consumption to continue the town may, in the event of no rainfall for the next two months, be faced with a water famine. In YOUR interests and for the protection of YOUR property in the event of a fire, we find it necessary to bring into tli'ect immediately the following regulations:— (1). Water must not be used for sprinkling or irrigating purposes except—FOR ONE HOUR ONLY—from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. I (2). The practice of using water for the purpose of watering sidewalks, streets, etc., must cease. Persons using water for these purposes.are liable to have their services disconnected until such time as we can install a meter on their supply. (IS). Leaking taps, toilets, pipes, fittings, etc., must immediately be brought into good repair as any premises on which water is found wasting from these causes will be disconnected without further notice. There is absolutely no desire on the part of this Company to curtail the use of water when same is used in a proper manner for domestic purposes, but in a large number of cases we find this privilege beina abused and should the abuse continue we shall be forced to consider the installation of water meters, which would make the cost of water much heavier for the same consumption. We once more draw to your attention the fact that this is being done in YOUR interests as every leaking tap or pipe or sprinkler used unnecessarily lowers the water pressure and consumes water that may be needed in a few weeks more for household purposes or may be needed TODAY to extinguish a fire on YOUR property. Thanking you in anticipation of your co-operation in this matter, we are, Yours truly, CUMBERLAND AND UNION WATERWORKS COMPANY LIMITED. >*.,,.,; G.W.CLINTON, K' ' "'.'
