The Children's Fancy Dress Ball j under the auspices of the Women's Benefit Association of the Macabees was held in ihe Ilo-llo Hall last Frl- day evening, and was a tremendous success in every way. The hall was tilled to its utmost capacity, many adults and children coming in from Union Bay, Courtenay aud other out- j snde points. The managing committee of the Association were Mrs. S. j Davis, and Mesdames Covert, Gra- j ham. Hudson, Potter and Davis. Great ] credit ls due the ladles for Uie splen. did way in which the affair was managed. Children Beautifully Costumed The costumes lorn by the children were of varied colors and designs and the effect produced was a beautiful one. This was particularly noticeable ln the Grand March led by Miss Alma Conrod and Master Wm. Bergland. About 120 young people participated in the Grand March. Au especially pretty feature was the Baloon Drill, given by a number of the younger children. The multi-colored baloons and costumes winding in and out the different measures of the drill made a charming picture. Special mention should also be made of the French Minuet In which moBt of the children took part, going through each measure with a charming grace and simplicity which delighted the spectators. Flowers Represented Numerous flowers were represented ln costumes worn by the klddlcB, alinoBt every flower being In evidence. Very many of these were tho result of painstaking care and preparation on the part of the mothers and adults. This waa much appreciated by the Association. Ticket "401" unclaimed Ice Cream and. home made candy were sold during the evening. The children In fancy dress were supplied these free of charge. Ticket "201" was the lucky number for the handsome box of home-made candy which was raffled. However, up to the present time, this has been unclaimed. Dancing for adults commenced at 10:00 p.m. and this was well attended. Music for the evening was supplied by a three piece orchestra consisting of Mrs. Hudson, and Messrs. Plump and Walker. Last Wednesday afternoon in the Anglican Hall the Ladles' Axillary of Holy Trinity Church held a novelty bazaar which without doubt was one of the most successful held in Cumberland tor some time. From 3 to 6 p.m. th. hall was the scene of lively excitement no numerous were the visitors. Novelty Features The novelty features of the afternoon were the every-day-ln-the-week stalls. These were most appropriately and beautifully decorated showing evidence of very careful planning and hard work on tho part of the ladles. Predominant in the decorative scheme were dogwood flowers and colored streamers, the latter closely interwoven forming canopies for the various booths. Monday's stall was one devoted to washing and Ironing, and was In charge of Mesdames Walton, Keller, Mumford and Harllng; Tuesday, Shopping (Fancy wCrk. etc.) Mrs. Treen and Mrs. Finch; Wednesday, Afternoon Tea, Mesdames Pickard, Johns and Treen; Thursday, Home Cooking — Mrs. Bryan and Mrs. Symons; Friday, Home Cleaning — Mrs. Short and Mrs. Pinfold; Saturday, Home Gardening — Mrs. Leversedge and Mrs. Cameron.

Cumberland Boys Are Now Junior Soccer Champions Of The Province j Defeat Riverview 1—0 at Vancouver After Thrilling Game. Riverview Misses Penalty.— So does Farmer-Miller Scores One—Boffy Makes a Hit. By Alex. S. Denholme MINING INSTITUTE NAMES OFFICERS Vancouver, May 14.—The British Columbia division of the Canadian ln. stitutc of Mining and Metallurgy today elected Mr. Thomas Graham Its chairman, Mr. H. G. Nichols, vice- chairman for the Coast district; Mr. M. E. Purcell, of Rossland, vice- chairman for the Interior, and Mr. H. Mortimer Lamb, secretary-treasurer. The retiring president. Mr. F. W. Guernsey, commented on the recent nctlvity ln mining, staling that lt was a matter of congratulation that production of 1922 showed an Increase of 26 per cent over that of 1921. Hon. William Sloan, Minister of Mines, expressed his appreciation of the work the institute was doing and referred in optimistic strain to the prospects for mining activity during the preaent year. Fighting like Trojans—combined with superior football was what won the Junior succer championship of the province for the Cumberland Juniors who defeated the Riverview team of Vancouver last Saturday 1 to 0. The score was a fair indication of the play which was crammed with thrills from start to finish. Several hundred people attended the match which was played in Athletic Park and it was evident from the expressions of the crowd Cumberland had as many supporters ns the Riverview team. Bcforo the game the O. B. Allan cup which was at stake rested 111 front of the front of the grandstand beside Acting Mayor W. Owen, who later presented the cup to the winners. Mayor C. E. TlBdale was to have presented the cup but was nbsent from the city. Boffy Brilliant Young Boffy gave the nicest display of any goalkeeper of Junior rank seen in action here for many a day and was cheered by the crowd on several occasions for his brilliant work. The defense of Cumberland was Impregnable with "Cotton" Miller hoofing Ihe pigskin from tho danger zone limes too numerous to mention nnd wus ably supported In the back line by Marshall-always consistent. The half line wns a Chinese puzzle to the opposing forwards and Messrs. Wlcr, Farmer and Mitchell made monkeys nut of their opponents time and again. Aa was expected lhe weakness of the team was In the forward rank and It was the brilliant work of Jock Stevenson nnd Andy Robertson that proved the salient points of the attack. A Bustling Attack Riverview did nol play the same brand of soccer that Cumberland dished up. Combination was not carried out as effectively and what they lacked either In combination play and football they nnulo up lu their hustling attacks. Featuring the work of the (cam was the grand defense. Crawford the right back put up a splendid display. McArthur the centre forward was the bulwark of a strong forward rank whicli was the most formidable part of the team. Tho toss was won by Riverview who elected to kick the sun at their back. They pressed from tbe start and for the first ten minutes had the upper hand. Waites, the Inside right drove one at Boffy which tho goalie had to fall on and saved ln brilliant fashion. For a moment play reverted and "Peanut" Robertson narrowly missed the goal mouth after some fine pnslng leading to the goal mouth, Stevenson Dangerous Boffy again was called upon to defend again and was applauded by tho crowd when he jumped almost to the top bar tipping behind a high drive from McArthur'a toe. Cumberland began to find themselves and the halves did their stuff. Farmer was always in the limelight hut for placing the ball a little too far ahead of the forwards. Joek Stevenson and Donald Watson played a nice game on tho left wing and the former wns the most dangerous among the forwards. One Nelllce ln clearing sent the bnll to the former who came closer to scoring for Cumberland than nt any previous stage when It sizzled past the wrong sldo of tlio post. Play was even and each goal had a narrow escape from being penetrated. Almost ii final Then the fun commenced. Cumberland pressed and after a scrimmage title goalie was lured from Ills charge and lo save the ball from going across the goal line. Crawford the right back fell on the ball grabbing It wilh his hands. Johnnie Robertson had It nt his feet but was powerless to score. Referee Webb awarded Cumberland a penalty. Took Penally Three Times Amos Farmer captain of Ihe team decided t<> take the penalty himself. The first lime he hit the top bar and was ordered lo shoot again for players crossing the penalty area line. Players again repeated their action and the hall sailed harmlessly Into the net. For Ihe third time Fnrmer (Continued on page 2) Dont forget Flremens' Dance on Monday, Jnne 4th, In lhe llo.Ilo Hall. TWO THE CUMBERLAND ISLANDER SATURDAY, MAY, 19th, 1923 CUMBERLAND ISLANDER Published every Saturday morning at Cumberland, B. C. EDWARD W BICKLE THE WORLD DO MOVE SATURDAY, MAY, 19th. 1923 KEEPING POSTED It used to be an old-time joke that some people were so found ot newspapers that they even rend lhe advertisements. That might have been a humorous remark years ago. At that period some merchants would run an advertisement a whole year unchanged. Clothing dealers would start 111 advertising January first with notice of overcoats for sale, and would keep on advertising overcoats until July. Today people read advertising as u matter of business. The women read it Just ns a farmer reads price current or a banker reads the financial laws. They thereby get ideas as to how they can save on household or personal expenses. Probably a majority of the women turn first to the advertising of their favorite merchants and then read the news later. The men also read the advertising carefully. Even it they have no business enterprises of their own, they are interested in the advertising ns a reflection of the business life of the town. Hence, it is perhaps unnecessary to suggest to the readers of this newspaper that its advertising columns are worthy of the most careful attention. Still it is worth while to say that there Is no time when advertising is worth such careful attention as in midsummer. All kinds of merchants have the proposition bo fore them of cleaning out their stocks before cool weather comes on. That takes a good deal of publicity. The goods will not move of themselves. The public must be told about them and in some detail. The slory of what is happening ill the stores will be found 111 the advertising columns of this newspaper. Most of the newspaper readers are teeing it, and it will repay their closest scrunlty. Quite recently two aviators traveled across the continent, from const to coast, in twenty-seven hours. Through the night they rushed above the clouds and when the dawn broke [ they were relieved to recognize far 1 elow them a ring around a cemetery that assured them they had kept the course and were headed right. What a marvelous achievement! Yet we read of this amazing feat ln the evening papers and turned away to the routine habits of the hour. It ls an amazing age in which we live, and no one can foresee the end of human accomplishment within the next decade. To think that we should have lived to see the day when men should fly through the air, almoBt from Bun to sun, a journey that fifty years ago required months of hard travel. Truly the world does move, and this nicclianic.ll age is bringing marvelous achievements. And yet we hear young men rail at the lack of opportunity and see them waBtlng their time In pool rooms. What a splendid thing to be a young man today if one only had the gumption to realize the possibilities of youth. llev. Livingstone—says there are only a few persons bull-headed enough to risk a long conversation with a book agent. Davis—says about one-fourth of the world's work is repairing someone's mistakes. * * * The old-fashioned boy who was whipped for playing marbles for keeps now lias a son who won't even play matrimony for keeps. CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS A man Is known by the company he keeps. You certainly are Judged by your associates. In every small town there are cliques and sets and the Main street crowd never fooled anybody. Did you ever stop to think how you are actually Impressed, interested and molded by the circle In which you move? It is your associates who stir your emotions. They apply (he torch. Friends blow the coals, stir the embers of your thoughts. Companions start the pot to boiling, rake up the dormant ambitions and rip up our natures. If it is a raw and dreary day the weather warps our disposition. It is the train that is late that gets our goat. We are all creatures of conditions that irritate or comfort us. Our advice to our friends is to associate always with better brains and bigger hearts. Cross the street when you see a grouch coming. Avoid the pessimist as you would stay away from a house quarantined by a case of smallpox. People who upset you, who lash you into a fury, stall your engine, ruffle and fluster you, are dangerous associates. People who waste your time with idle chatter or lead you away from the path of duty are bandits holding: you up. Walking with tho wise, taking with the worthy encourage the right emotions and aid your digestion. Tramp with the.lame and you will eventually sleep on a pool table. Had habits are easily learned, but virtues must be grafted on. Look around and see If we are not all judged by the company we keep.

Clark of Vancouver Introduced a "Want of Confidence" motion in the Govt, on account of discrimination In freight rates in B. C. All Conservatives supported it. The other members from B. C. pointed out that the case for B, C. was now before tho Privy Council and any resolution at this time was calculated to prejudice our case, if it was rejected, and if it. passed would mean the defeat of the Govt, and the matter have to be begun all over again. After spending a whole day, the motion was defeated by vote but without a division.

April 30th—Govt, introduced Chinese Immigration Act, which excludes all Chinese Immigration ex- i cept merchants and students, the latter of whom have to return after their education Ib completed. Objection taken to the lack of dc- | flnitlon of the word "merchant'' In Act. The Minister promised that It | would be strictly defined by regulation so as to prevent any but bona fida merchants engaged with considerable capital in a genuine export trade of our goods to China or , their goods to us. Most of the B. C. .Members wanted to see the definition In the Act but It went through "subject to regulation" to be made by tho Minister from time to time, lhe argument being thnt lhe Minister could ut any time change the regulation If found not strict enough, where as a definition In the Act would have 1 to wait until the House met before it could be altered. The Act also contained provisions j for all Chinamen now In the Coun- try, registering within a year from1 I date and u method of arrest and de- , portatlon of those found Illegally In ' j the Province. Canadian Highways Act introduced. Shows thnt B.C. has still $135,000.00 ' ; coming to her out of the old grant hut that the grant will not be renewed thereafter. Tho edict is that women's hair and clothes must harmonize. That's why they're hobbfng it. Some people go to church more to snve their faces than to save their souls. The struggle of human souls to- ] ward betterment of social conditions ; and mental standards has been the theme of many great pictures, but in the Hobart Henley Universal-Jewel special, "The Flame of Life," coming to the Ilo-llo theatre, this Friday aud Saturday the atmosphere ls strange to the screen. It In the mining country in the North of England, where people lived In squalor and ignorance in 1870, and were characterized by their mas- ters as "little better than beasts." "The Flame of Life" was adapted I from one of Frances Hodgson Bur- j nett's most widely read books and , the Btory Is considered equal to j "Little Lord Fauntleroy" In coloring and atmosphere, and far superior to It in dramatic pitch. Elliott Claw- eon prepared it for screening. Pilscllla Dean has the most gripping role of her career In the new of- fertng. As a woman of the slaving peasantry, unable to read or write, and possessing one work dress, and one good dross, will be seen in a characterization that is certainly unique. The artistry of Miss Dean was never better exemplified. She reaches emotional and dramatic heights; that are remarkable even for this talented actress. Her performance holds one spellbound. Tho entire supporting cast Is excellent and was chosen with grcnt care to insure perfect balance. A smashing thrill In lhe form of n great tunnels and shafts actually were blown up for the picture, gives a twist lo the climax, surprising and gripping. Robert Ellis, Wallace Beery, Beatrice Burnhnm, Kathryn McOulre, Fred Kohler, Knmiett King. Nancy Caswell, Frankie Lee. Richard Daniels and others support Miss Dean. Hobart Henley directed. Mr. Beery is at ills best in this picture. Never has he given a more convincing performance than he does In the role of the brutal father who lacks even the faintest spark of human sympathy. Praise also must be accorded Robert Ellis for his Interpretation of nn extremely difficult part. Kathryn McClulrc will bo recalled by many as the former come-! dy and bnthlng beauty Btar. Her role In this picture, however, is quite ser- ious. HORSE COMES TO OWN AGAIN IN THE HOTTENTOT Horses to the right of him; horses to the left of him! Horses thai bite at him; kick nt him; leap garden walls and land him in the prickliest bed of shrubbery; crown him with horse shoes and try to tramp on him. Poor Sam! Only a man with a wooden face could keep from roaring at the trials ot the horsefeariug yachtsman In Thomas H. Incc's screen version of "The Hottentot," who literally ls pitched headlong Into the fashionable hunting community which is the background for this spectacular comedy drama. At the same time the story has been told so cleverly that the climax is a breathlessly dramatic sequence whicli heightens the effects of all the previous laughs. The picture is showing at the llo-Ilo theatre, Wednesday, and Thursday, May 23-24th. The producer has done something novel In this picture for combined with the hilarious comedy which piles laugh on lnugh there la an undercurrent of real sympathy for the chap who is the Innocent victim of circumstances until finally he has to risk Ills neck In a dangerous steeplechase or proclaim himself a coward to the girl he loves. When be makes his spoctacular ride, carries every heart wilh him and the comedy becomes tense drama. "The Hottentot" Isn't written— it's built, line by line, scene by scene nnd laugh by laugh., the critics said when William Collier and Victor Mapes produced their successful stage play. Ince has followed the same process In the screen Btory with smashing effect. The story Is one of the simplest and most effective ever told. The Intense comedy of the picture grows out of the fact that while Sam Harrington Is n crack yachtsman and has braved the dangers of typhoons, cannibals and hurricanes without a quiver, he can't hear a horse snort without a quiver. Trouble ahead Is forecast from the moment he comes snlllng Into the picture in a spick and span yacht and finds an anciont horse-rig waiting nt the landing to taxi him to the country home he Ib to visit. Trying to escape from the insistent driver, Sam edges too near the dejected old horse which promptly comes to life long enought to nip his shoulder. A strong note of love interest throughout tho story makes possible Uie effective transition from riotous comedy to intense drama. Madge Bellamy who recently won such national applause in the title role of Maurice Toumeur's magnificent adaption of "Lorna Doone" plays the role of the vivacious Peggy with a verve and charm that supply a Btrong and reasonable motive for the overwhelming difficulties through whicli Sam flounders his way to victory. CUMBERLAND BOYS NOW JUNIOR CHAMPIONS (Continued from page 1) took the kick which was legal but alas lo the joy of a hundred Riverview hearts the ball sailed high over the goal into the bleachers in the rear. Riverview carried the ball to the other end and in clearing from a scrluinge Boffy wns hurt. Pressure wns still in the Cumberland area but it ended when Cotton Miller cleared an Impending gonl. When the whistle was blown for half time Cumberland was pressing. Half time: Cumberland 0; Riverview 0. "Cotton'' Miller The Hero Ross In goal was tested shortly after the resumption of the interval. Andy Robertson tore down the right wing and centred nicely and Ross Fisted out a near goal. At this stage Cumberland was pressing and played a superior brand of soccer. Crawford lhe right back for Riverview elbowed in the penalty area. "Cotton" Miller took the kick and scored the winning goal with a high drive to the left corner of the net. Riverview smartened up and made a determined effort to score. After a lino rush down the field Boffy was forced to clear at close quarters and in doing so was pounced upon by two opposing forwards. Boffy was charged hy referee Webb with holding the ball from play. A free kick In the goal mouth was awarded. Excitement ran high. Cumberland lined up In front of the goal, the ball was pased to the wing by the Riverview man but the ball driven hard at the goal met Miller's boot which saved the situation. Missed a Penalty Cumberland (hen assumed the offensive. Andy Robertson was almost In the net but was brought down at the critical moment. Donald Watson crossed nicely and Jock Stevenson nearly scored. Cumberland's defence was In great form and Jlmmle Weir and Mick Mitchell on the half line showed their superiority. Cotton Miller then conceeded a penalty when In the act of pointing his fingers. He raised his hand at a hard drive of the ball a few yards in front of him. McArthur took the penalty for Riverview and lt is said failed to score from a penalty for the first time this year when the ball missed the post by three feet. "Peanut" Robertson received a severe sprain of his left wrist in coming Into violent contact with mother earth and went off for five minutes. Still further weakened by the loss of Johnny Robertson who was carried off with a twisted knee and remained off for the rest of the game Riverview started a dangerous attack. Cumberland Only Nine .Hen Hopes ran high in the breasts of the Riverview supporters ln the closing minutes with their team on the offensive. Marshall saved a sure goal at Ihe right side of the goal mouth blocking a daisy cutter. Dewcr at outside left brought the crowd to it's feet when he hanged one from tho wing with Boffy hopelessly beaten but lt whizzed past the wrong side of the goal. ^fgjj Handicapped as they were Cumberland tore down to the other end of the field and after some nice crossing on the part of Andy Robertson,, "Peanuts" of the same namesake could barely reach the cross which was picked up by Donald Watson who did not convert It to any advantage.

The figures published in the Twelfth Annual Report on Labor Organization in Canada, covering the calender year 1922, which has just been issued by the Department of Labor, show that during the three- year period from 1920 to 1922 there has been a decline in trade union membership in Canada of 101,426. the loss in the last calender year being 166 in hrances and 36.699 in members. The total membership of all classes of trade unions in the Dominion at the close ot 1922 stood at 276.621, comprised in 2,512 local branches. There arc in all 92 international organizations operating in Canada, and between them ihey have 2,108 local branches in the Dominion, witli a combined reported membership of 206,150. These Ilgures indicate six fewer international orfianlzations operating in the Dominion, with losses of 115 in branches and 16.716 In members. There are eighteen of what are termed "nou-intcrnational" organizations, an increase of three over the year 1921, with totals of 272 local branches and 22,937 members, a gain in branches ot eight, but a decrease in membership of 1,507.

Electricity is constantly making life easier, more convenient and more comfortable for everybody and, as the world is grasping the place of electricity in the home, soon it will be the exception for a house not to be thoroughly equipped for every phase of electrical service. Considering the importance of the electrical equipment of the home, nothing should be left to chance. The wiring should beright, illumination properly provided for, electrical outlets conveniently placed and the materials and appliances should be what experts have decided is necessary for a safe, dependable' and permanent job. In other words, your equipment ought to be standard. Your electrical instillation requires a specialized knowledge just the same as your heating or plumbing installation. The heating engineer or the sanitary engineer knows better than you do what your house requires. In these cases, if you are wise, you select a man whom you know to be qualified in every respect to give you a satisfactory installation at a fair price. There has to be a man who knows, and the community has to have some means to find him. The man who knows electricity, so far us it applied to the modern household, is the qualified electrical contractor, who is in close touch with the latest practise in electrical wiring. For the BEST installation go to Cumberland Electric Lighting Co., Ltd.

BASEBALL GAME PROVES COMEDY Last Sunday at the Courtenay Ball Park the Cumberland nggregation put it ovor the homesters to the tune of fourteen to five. There was a good crowd present and though the exhibition was not of the highest order there were a number of redeeming features that made the afternoon an enjoyable one. Several of the Courtenay team were out of town and this made a great difference to the playing of the farmers. Tom Smith tossed them over in the first three innings for Courtenay but was relieved In the fourth stanza by Lefty Larson. Neither of these pitchers seemed to exert himself and with only one player on the Courtenay lineup In his regular position the result ot the day's play could not have been different. King on the mound twirled In big league style and had the Courtenay team at his mercy at all times. The five tallies that Cumber- laud's opponent's chased ncross the plate came when King allowed the second string pitcher to relieve him In the eight frame. This week the Courtenay team will be in better shape with all their players on hand and the team that beats them will have to go some. Cumberland- Plump lb. Bannerman ss Hitchens CF.

Some Instructors advise turning them one way, others In a different way. Or the advice may be given ln reference to tho I club face, to turn It away from the ball, which Is practically the same thing. This has always appeared to me as artificial and unnatural. None of the caddies are ever conscious of doing this, and, what Is more, ui^ne of the real stars do It. By rolling the wrists nt the start, I have nn hesitation In stating thnt all chances of a correct swing are gone —unless the player is somewhat of a Juggler. As a general working rule the player will be well advised to : scrutinize carefully any piece of advice that recommends anything which does not come naturally. He must, of course, distinguish between what Is novel or new and what ts natural. Any new movement will feel awkward at Ilrst. but this should pass with practice. If the player has been instructed ln the mechanical principles of the game (which are not many nor hard to understand), he will learn to distinguish the essential points In a swing from the accidentals and the mannerisms of the player. It must be remembered that no two human beings are constructed exactly alike; and therefore no two will swing a golf club In tho same way, bo It will be wiBe before a beginner adopts another player as his paragon, to first ascertain if there is the greatest agreement in tlielr physical builds. lt is useless for a short stout man to attempt to swing (he club exactly as a thin elongated one. Therefore, If the fundamental principles of the game are appreciated, the blind mimicry of unimportant details will be avoided. The fact that Ray smokes a pipe while playing Is no reason ■why anyone else should, and If you .'h did so much for the colonization of the country. There are thirteen new paper making machines being installed in Canadian paper mills this year. When erected and running full these machines will consume more than 350,000 additional cords of wood a year. Canada is already annually consuming and exporting more than 5,000,000 cords of pulpwood, representing the growth of a century or more on 1,250,000 acres of land. A new service for motor tourists desiring to pass between the mainland and Vancouver Island has been inaugurated between Bellingham ami Victoria. The Motor Princess, with a capacity for fifty automobiles and 250 passengers, plies twice daily between the ports. This boat is motor driven and the first of its kind to be operated on the Pacific side of the continent. In 1922 Canada produced 2,118 tons of salt cake, valued at $54,804, and 1,320 tons of Glauber salts valued at $42,7111, according to government figures. There are a number of immense deposits of Glauber salts in the province of Saskatchewan, which are ut the present time only in the initial stages of development, but it is anticipated that the next few years will see a considerable increase ill production. The Canadian exhibit at the British Empire Exhibition, to be held in London from April 20th to October 31st, 11124, is to be financed, eon- trolled and directed by the Federal Government. The estimated cost is $1,000,000. The two Canadian railroads are planning exhibits on adjoining sites, each with a floor space of 10,000 feet. The cost nf the Cann- di n Pacific exhibit is estimated at $800,00(1. The Canadian Pacific steamship "Empress of Russia," upon her last sailing, carried a shipment of Canadian frogs for Japan. Cool space was reserved in the hold of the liner and the travellers were well packed in ice. On being taken ashore at Yokohama these frogs will be gradually warmed until they are ready to be let loose, when they will be liberated on the lawns of Japanese importers, with thc idea of giving the Japanese a new industry in the production of frogs legs. The Canadian Pacific Telegraphs have announced the following reduced rates per word for cable mes- aages to the following countries effective to-day:—Austria, 30 cents, Belgium 23 cents. France 22 rents, Germany 25 cents, Great Britain and Ireland 20 cents, Greece .15 cents, Hungary 33 cents, Italy 20 cents, Spain 83 cents, Switzerland 27 rents. The 25 cent per word rate to Great Britain and Ireland is still in effect for special rush cables. Corresponding reductions have teen made in the rates to other countries in Europe and beyond via Atlantic cables, und the new deferred rates will be one- half of the full rates quoted above except to Great Britain and Ireland, where the existing deferred rate ol 9 cents per word it unaltered. George C. Hay, British Columbia, director of the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers' association, is well pleased with the outlook for this year. He recently visited the wool-producing districts of Vancouver Island, also the lower mainland, and reports that everywhere tho sheep men arc entering the association, and practically 100 per cent, membership is now anticipated. The organization has bad two outstanding objects: Tn got more money for Canadian wool growers and to raise the standard of Canadian wool. Both of these objects hnvt been attained, for thc members received for their 1922 clip 8 cents per pound more than the average paid by Independent buyers, and Canadian wool now competes favorably with that of Australia, Now Zealand anil Argentina; ln fact, with thut of the world. This Is due entirely to the grading Instituted by the central selling agency. The association has also established a friendly relationship with the millers of Canada and lhe United States, who arc Interested and pleased with the market improvement In Canadian wool.

ATTRACTIVE FEATURE AT MAYTIME FROLIC IN VICTORIA Indians whose fathers saw the first white men land o nthe shoree ot the Pacific Coast will be assembled ln Victoria during the next few days to show the present generation ot whites the dangers undergone by thc early pioneers on this Island. The red men are being brought to Victoria from all parts of the coast of British Columbia to stage a night attack on two big settlers' forts which nre being built for the purpose as features of the Maytlme Frolic to be held in the British Columbia Capital May 24, 25 aud 26. The Indians are to be carefully schooled iu this attack bo that it may he carried out with careful attention to historical detail. They will wear the costumes ot their ancestors and travel iu the dug out canoes that their tribes have been using for hundreds of years. The actual assault upon the two forts will be left to them so that they may carry It out ln true Indian style. One of the forts is being built now on a big raft in on arm of the sea which cuts through one of Victoria's parks. At this point the outgoing tide creates a swift current and foaming rapids. The Indians will slip down the rapids in their war canoes after dark, painted and armed. The fort, which will be carefully modeled ou the plan ot the early trading posts, will be attacked In force as the red men swarm up its walls. The white Inhabitants, over, come by tbe attackers, will take to their boats and make their way to a second fort to be erected on the shore. Here they will make their last stand as their first fort Is burned to the water's edge. What will be thc outcome of the fight has not been divulged but It is said that Canadian sailors will take a hand In It. The fray will be staged at a point where it will be visible to thousands lining thc batiks and huge naval searchlights will play upon the Indians and whites as they grapple iu tbe water. American motorists who are expected to attend tbe Maytlme Frolic in considerable numbers will have a particularly good view of the fight as lt will occur In the water opposite the new motor camp opened by Victoria for visitor. The provincial authorities are planning to have the government lands at Point Grey laid out on a town planning scheme so that the district may develop Into a model re. stdental section. An announcement of the first sale when small parcels of the 3000 acres will be placed on the market will be made shortly. * * * A party of Scandinavian immigrants came west this week. They appear to be a very desirable class of settlers. ENJOYABLE SOCIAL DANCE Decorate And Celebrate May 24th, Victoria Day We have complete Stock of Fancy Colored Paper Flags, Confetti, Etc.

J. II. McMullen, new superintendent of provincial police and the provincial Inspectors Dutnvoodle, Owen, Fernle and Parsons. The whole provincial policing sys. tem will be put on a seml-mllltnry basis, under a commissioner with Inspectors, sergeants, corporals and constables of lirst, second nnd third classes. Men token on thc force will be known as probationers and required lo pass examinations in their knowledge of police work, criminal law and kindred subjects. Uniforming the police was recommended on the grounds that It would develop greater efficiency nnd tend to foster esprit de corps iu the ranks. The system generality will be in many respects similar to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, though of course, the men will not be mounted. Hon. Mr. Manson ls also ln favor of a criminal Investigation department ln connection with thc provincial police, such as exists in other provinces. There would also be a co-ordination of thc police force with the Inspectorate of liquor control and the R.C.M.P.
