Donations will be acknowledged in the columns of the Islander and your contribution, however small, will be very acceptable. All money sent in will be forwarded immediately to the secretary-treasurer of the fund at Blakeburn.

WOULD BE THIEVES WERE DISTURBED. dis Two would-be thieves were turhed on Saturday night by city watchman Brown who came upon two men attempting to cut the locks off the gasoline pumps at Henderson's garage. The men immediately jumped into thier car, which the watchman said was a large one and made their gct-a-way with the lights off. A similar attempt was mnde on the gasoline pump at Hariing and Led- ingham's garage, but the would be gas thieves were unable to obtain any gas, but damaged tbe pump slightly. Mr. Ledingham is of the opinion it was the work of some passing motorist and does uot for a single moment think it the work of any local persons. TEDDY PHILLIPS IN HOSPITAL AS RESULT OF ACCIDENT. Teddy Phillips, who was travelling towards Bevan on Saturday night, struck the hub of a parked car, just outside the residence of Mr. S. Hunt on Fourth street and then crashed into an electric light pole, completely wrecking the car. Phillips sustained a broken nose and several cuts on the face and Ed. Walker who wns in the car at tbe time received a nasty blow on the chin. Both men were taken to the local hospital, but Walker wus allowed to proceed to his home, Phillips being detained where he i.s still a patient. Arthur Doyle and a young boy, Clarance Webber, who were also in the car at the time escaped injury. who, since her return from Tranquille has been residing with her aunt und uncle, Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

He intends to stay in this district having found employment at his occupation of farming and is at present employed hy Mr, Williams, of Minto. Cumberland school teachers began arriving back in the city on Saturday last in readiness for the opening of school on Tuesday.

S. I Willis, stated that the request of the loeat board would receive careful attention and promised to communicate with the board at a later date. B.C. Coal Well Received In Peru Ottawa, Ont., Aug. 30.—An initial shipment of eoul from British Columbia has been sent to Callao, Peru, where it is being favorably received In the past Great Britain supplied 75 per cent of the 300,000 tons required by Peru annually, but, owing, I to some extent, to the South Wales | coal strike and to depressed shipping conditions on the North Pacific, Canada has been able to invade th's market. Purchase of n $26,000 Lockheed- 1.1 Vega seaplane for use in a Nanaimo- Vancouver service is announced by the Alaska-Washington Airways of B.C. The new plane is expected to arrive from the - south early this month. Pontoons will be affixed Seattle.

George Brown, who lives on the Royston road, just below Boulder Hill, lost his car by tire in the early hours of Sunday morning. A passing motorist noticing the car on Arc turned in an alarm tu the night watchman at Cumberland, who immediately notified one of the lire- man who took an extinguisher out to Uhe scene of the blaze but found it insufficient. The tiie department fearing that the burning car would set fire to the adjacent bush sent the Chemical truck out anil the fire was soon got under control. The car, however, became a total loss.

Mr. Bryan was wearing the copper button of the Tyee club which he won two years ago by taking a thirty-two pounder from Campbell River. He is ambitious to gain the silver button this year and the parly will spend about ten days at Campbell River, the time being spent principally in fishing. Twilight League Won By Royston NEW LEAGUE HAD VERY SUCCESSFUL SEASON Practically terminating the season in the twilight baseball league, Courtenay and Royston staged a hectic battle on Sunday last for the Peden cup, emblematic of the championship of Comox district. And what a battle. The fans are still talking about it. Everywhere one goes, one can hear arguments as to the correct score. In the last half of the ninth innings, a check up of the scores disclosed a discrepancy. Royston claimed the score to he 11-11, whilst the Courtenay scorer's sheet showed it to be 12-11 in favor of his team. Right there and then some argument arose until Umpire Bono in his official capacity declared the score even and ordered the game to proceed. The tenth, as wns expected, opened with great excitement. Courtenay failed to add to their score, but Doi, for Royston got the needed run and it wus all over, but tbe arguments. Naturally they are still the sole topic. Courtenay hod :m qdvnntag right up to the third innings being six runs ahead. Royston woke up in the fourth and obtained a run und from then on took advantage of all breaks, eventually coming out winners by a score of 12-11 und becoming tho flrst holders of the Peden cup. There has been tumours of Courtenay protesting but as far as can be ascertained no such course has been adopted. The many friends of Mr. John ' Hunt will be pleased to hear that he I has so far recovered from his recent j injury as to be able to leave the hos- , pitnl. He will he discharged from ' Cumberland General Hospital this j week end nnd will go away for a short time for a complete rest before ■ resuming his duties, • . .

Medal Play In Progress With Twilight Players ROYSTON TWO UP ON FIVE- GAME SERIES Fresh from their victory over their Courtonay rivals on Sunday, the Royston ball tossers entered the medal competition on Monday full of confidence, Their confidence was fully justified as the Courtenay nine had to ncknowledge defeat by a score of (t-2. It wus a fairly even game and full of excitement right up to the final innings when Royston put on ati extra spurt and came through as indicated. A second game was played on the Cumberland ground on Wednesday when Royston again defeated their rivals, the score on Wednesday being 11-6. This puts them two up on the five-game series for medals donated by the Twilight league executive. Tiie third game will be played »t Courtenny on Sun day and if Royston win* again, the icriofl will be ended. Bowling Green Is Kept Busy A doubles bowling tournament Ik in progress at tho green of tho Cumberland Lawn Rowling club which it is expected will terminate Ibis week end. Improvements arc still being undertaken at the green anti Bevoral more drains have been put down dining the past week which it is confidently anticipated will materially improve tin* playing surface. In the tournament games played to date, some very good games were noticed and a large number of the local players are improving steadily. Scores in games already played in elude: W. Mossey and J. Bond beat H. Waterlield and J. Mann, 21-9; W. Whyte and J. Gibb heat Bud Morgan and J. S. Brown, 21-11; ,1. S. Williams and T. I). Robertson bent R. T. Brown and W.

MacKinnon returned to Cumberland on Friday after a tour i of tbe Orient wilh a party organized by Mrs. Harold Palmer and which ' we understand is to become an on- I nual affair. The teachers who left on the Ss. 1 Korea Maru and returned on the »s. I Yokohama Maru were enthusiastic | over their eight weeks' sightseeing in a land full uf surprise, charm and [ mystery. The lour was planned, Mrs, | Palmer said on her return, so that j every available minute was occupied ; with sight-seeing yet (he travelers were able to go off ihe beaten trnck of tourist travel to really peek be- ' hind the scenes of the mysterious i Orient, Contracts I In the harbors they saw the ancient picturesque dragon-eyed junks ■ of the Chinese and sampans which China retains as part of its ancient civilization. They were fortunate to I witness Chinese coolies in a long ] chain loading a ship by passing great | weights hand to hand wth untiring j speed of a perfect machine. They saw parts of China and Japan which f were as up io date as thc most progressive city in the west even to night clubs like those of New York. They traveled on electric railways that rivaled London's famous tube system and yet even while enjoying this method uf travel saw queer customs of the Orient from which no marriage of progress can ever divert it. In China they were fortunate in being in time to see thc ceremonies which mark the commencement of rice planting, the farm workers planting rice to music. The music of a ipieer stringed instrument similar lo a guitar was used evidently to lighten Ihe labors of the workers as tin- bagpipes lighten tbe monotony of a long march for a Scotch battalion. In both China and Japan while streets were entirely different to those of the west, there wero modern touches that made the contrast more striking. Gay silks, flags, banners, antique stores, squalid buildings and magnificent stores, slant-eyed Orientals shuffling silently along made it typical of the Orient. "Stop and Go" signals and traffic pollcemont gave it a western touch. Japan wilh its temples, shrines, rickshaws, geisha girls in their gay dresses, rolling fields of fruit trees, its Buddhas and last bul by no means least. Fujiyama, the sacred mountain which they saw from a distance weaved a particular spell over the party. "We saw Fujiyama unobscurcd by clouds and that according to legend means we shall all visit there again," said Mrs. Palmer, "It is probably true for every member was so enchanted witli the whole trip they all hope to make it ngain." Pride in Progre»» The party visited industrial plants factories, stores and government buildings in tbe Orient. Courteous Japanese showed them every detail of their efficient factories and civic officials with evident pride in Japan's progress told them of their methods of government. Japan, the party ! was told .has the most efficient police I fore iii the world. Incidentally the | guardians of the law carry knives In- • stead 'if guns or batons. The educational system aroused admiration. It appears to be one nf ihe most democratic of any country wilh every opportunity extended to blight scholars to continue their studies when finance-, might stand in tho way, Mr-. Palmer paid a glowing tribute to ibe courtesy shown the party by the captains ami officials of the N.Y. K. line. UNEMPLOYMENT \\ hat i- the prime minister going to do on unemployment? There are line,' classos *<( unemployed: 1. Those who would work but cannot find work; who have not in themselves resourcefulness! the capacity, to create profitable employment ; 2. Those who are lazy, who want doles or charity but no work; . The unfortunates .the physi- cnlly or mentally unlit. The tendency of men in public life i- to dismiss the situation by the ens- ie-i Mieib.nl. that is doles. This means thnt earnings of employed workers are t<t lie taxed to maintain the three classes above. The campaign promisors seem to have committed both leaders lo lavish and unnecessary public expenditures. Are these necessary? There are enough opportunities awaiting development in Canada to provide jobs for all worth while workless and many thousand- more. There are scores of imported products that could be made under our present tariff. —Financial Post, PAGE TWO CUMBERLAND ISLANDER, CUMBERLAND, B. C. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER Sth, 1880. The Cumberland Islander PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT CUMBERLAND, B.C EDWARD W. BICKLE Minto ENCOURAGING CANADIAN INDUSTRY vacation in Vancouver, came home with Mr. and Mrs. Wain, Be THERE is new life in the fruit and vegetable tries of British Columbia. The action of the nett Government in fixing adequate values for dutj purposes on apples, pears, peaches, plums, prunes, can taloupes, onions, tomatoes, cabbage and celery, is inter, preted as ibe inauguration of a policy of protection o the fruits and vegeable Industries which will give them a fair chance of success. It assures Canadian grower, access to i anadian markets without having first to jumi the hurdle- imposed by the dumping of foreign products Where there was the greatest despondency, there i« now buoyant hope. The growers are not assured of i profit, far irom it. They are assured of an outlet, and that our fruit and vegetables will not rot in the field- while the produce of foreign lands goes into consumption in the centres of population within our borders. Hitherto this season, when a Canadian farmer sought to market his produce he bad to ascertain flrst If thee wero sufficient American Bupplles on the spot to entirely supply thc demand; then if there were not, he bud to learn if sufficient of thein were lolling to do ibis; and If not, it' there would be anything left for him after he moved hi off* t-Ii to market and paid the costs attend ant thereto. Tbe Canadian fruit and vegetable growers have nol asked, nor do they desire, a greater profit than ilo grow ers in the United Suites. They ask only a fair deal ana they have not bcen gelling it. Being located farther south the U.S. fruits and vegetables nipen earlier and come first on the Canadian markets. As production Increases and tbe season advances tbe inevitable tendency is for price to sag. The United Slates supplies reach the peak of production before our crops are ready. A' fruits and early vegetables must be disposed of to consumers when they are ready, tho rush of supplies from the U.S. has depressed juices in their own land, when our supplies lirst come on. Tbe result is that the lowest levels of the yeai set by U.S. surplus supplie istoblish mestlc markets would be the lowest levels reached the U.S. products in the last wild scramble to unload. Under the tariff legislation in force before the Ben-, Mr< and Mrs Aleck Wailli ^th Mr. nett Government took action this week, the American and Mrs. Parkinson, of Cumberland, I shipping interests were using Canada as a dumping J motored to Nanaimo and spent the ; ground. To help hold price levels at home they were ; week-end with old friends there. A. ! exporting supplies to Canada, getting them out of the Smith, the school principal, who has : way at any cost. The situation was not a natural one. hc«n spending his j lt was au unhealthy one for Canada because in years l of shortage in the United States the Canadian market, ; if the Canadian growers were forced out of business, would be at the mercy of predatory foreign interests, not seeking to build up Canada, but careless as to what went on here so long as they had their will. The action of the Bennett Government in fixing fair values for duty purposes on fruits and vegetables, is a step in the direction of a truly national policy, an all- round development of Canada, The consumer is not hurt because there is a surplus of fruits and vegetables in Canada.

Disruption of telephone service through the breaking of insulators on telephone poles may mean more 1 than an inconvenience to the telephone public or the telephone company. It may also result in the loss of life, property or vast sums of money. Willi this in mind the B.C. Telephone Company is asking the co-operation of the public generally in preventing acts of destruction, which j although done in the name of fun. have serious consequence involved, A person may wish to make an emergency telephone call to summon a doctor or give an alarm uf tire, or an important business transaction I may depend on the putting through • of a call; lmt because someone, with-) out realizing the seriousness of the! act, has broken insulators on telephone poles, the circuits are out ol j service and the calls cannot go through. Boys, throwing stones nr shooting j sling-shots, are tbe principal offend-1 ers, but the guns of hunters are also; said to do considerable damage. Re- I cent reports of telephone men show j that within a section of HI miles,! 125 insulators were broken in two [ months, telephone service being impaired at various times as a result. Tbe breaking of insulators on one telephone pole could put as many as 15 long-distance circuits out of or- der. Insulators, in this connection, unfile glass caps on telephone poles to which wires are connected instead oi being fastened direct to the wood. Deliberate breaking of insulators is a criminal offense and prosecution will follow detection. Mr. and Mrs. H. Waterfleld and family visited Nanaimo on Labor Day. and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. A.

The skin is nature's barrier to infection. Thc broken skin invites the entrance of germs which cause infection. It is therefore desirable to care for the skin, to protect it and to keep it intact. Everyone should have his own wash-doth and towel. Common towels are responsible for the ipread of skin infections. The skin is nlso the means by hicb the constant temperature oi body is maintained. Through perspiration, the skin increases evaporation and the dissipation of the heat. It is desirable to keep the skin ] able.

As we have said, in most cases I a healthy skin is secured by a health-« ful mode of living and by cleanliness. Skin conditions which do not respond to such cure require medical treatment. A healthy skin mirrors good health and is a personal asset that: cannot be secured except through proper living. MR, AND MRS. THOS. B.

The Woman Driver I heard a man say the other day, "There are only two things that worry me when I am driving a oar cow* and women drivers, because yon never can tell which way they arc* going. When a woman driver puts out her hand it means she's either going to the right, tn the left, straight ahead or she's going to slop." This is grossly exaggerated of course, hut there is some truth in it. There are a great many women driving cars who simply don't know what it's all ahout. They are either so cautious that they hold up traffic and get themselves In all kinds of unnecessary troubles or else they are absolutely reckless. There are very few women who reach a happy medium, i I am not trying to say that all men I are good drivers, or even that they are hetter drivers than women, hut most of them seem to have a greater sense of responsibility than women. Hefore they take n car out they want to know what makes it go, how to tix ii it anything happens, and what to do in case of an emergency. Most women drivers, on the contrary seem to have the feeling thai these things don't matter because there will always be some nice man around to help them out if they get in a jam. A short while fago I saw u smart green roadster with a very pretty girl at the the wheel stalled ill the middle of a busy street. After fiddling with thc starter for several minutes she walked acro&B tn a nearby taxi stand and asked one of the drivers if he would see what wus the matter with her cur. He obligingly got Into the ear and u moment later the engine was running. With a broad grin the man said, "It's always a good idea to turn on the ignition, lady." This girl probably had a driver's licence und would have told you that of course she knew how to drive a cur. There are a \o\ of women drivers who do things like that. You see thorn out on the highway calmly watching a kind-hearted passerby who is changing u tire for them or perhaps fixing some little thing in the engine which every driver should know how to do. Changing tires is not very pleasant work, anybody will admit, but there's nothing so very hard about it. If a woman is capable of driving a car she is certainly capable of changing a tire and it doesn't seem fair for her to sit at the side of the road with a bewildered look on her face until some man comes by and takes pity on her helplessness. What's more it doesn't sound like what women are trying to kid the world into thinking they are, capable reliable and just as efficient us men. In the city a lot of women drivers are a regular menace just because they won't take the trouble to obey or even to learn the traffic rules. A woman smiles sweetly at a traffic cop and gets by with almost anything. If some policeman who really takes his job seriously stops her and explains why she shouldn't be doing what she is doing she looks insulted and reminds him that she is a lady and isn't used to being spoken to like thnt. It doesn't seem fair if women are going to do the same things as men that '.hey should use their sex to gel them out of troubles they bring m themselves by thoughtlessness md carelessness. Women drivers hould know something about the inside* of their car. should know and obey the t nitric rules and should realize that by disobeying these rules they are not only endangering their own lives but the lives of the other people on the road. —Evelyn Robb.
