Scoreless Game Sunday Last Champions and South Wellington Played in Pouring Rain Without Registering Goal The soccer game staged last Sunday between the Cumberland United and Soutli Wellington turned out to be one of the hardest fought games seen on the local grounds for a long time. The game was played in a downpour of rain, consequently the players bad great difficulty In controlling the halt. Cumberland won the toss, and for once we think Jock Campbell made a mistake in not defending the town-end goal. However, probably the captain of the B. C. champions had good reasons for deciding to defend the camp- end goal. It was just eight minutes past three when Referee Burnip, of Nanaimo, got the teams going; the South Wellington centre forward tried hard to break through iu tlie first minute, but was well stopped by Conti, who played the ball beaulifully to Harrison, tlie outside left, getting In a perfect cross. Jock Sutherland gathered Harrison's pass and with a well-timed shot almost beat McPhilllps, the visiting goalie, who brought off a miraculous one-handed save, conceding a corner. The corner kick was well placed by Harrison but Lee managed to clear in the nick of time, transferring play to the other end. A nice bit of play between Stobbart ind Green put the South Wellington forwards in a nice combined move. Stewart robbed Bobby Grant just at the right moment. Midfleld play followed for some time, the pace becoming much slower, the heavy going apparently having its effect ou both teams. As half-time drew near the locals made desperate attempts to score, the visiting goalie having a most anxious time und stopping shot after shot. Half-time arrived with.Cumberland pressing bard. Tlie second half opened strongly in favor of Cumberland, the forwards making desperate efforts lo score. Harrison wus so well placed at one lime tliat a goul appeared certain, bul owing to the bud state of the Held and a little over-anxiety, he put the hall yards outside. Boyd, the local goalkeeper, had not handled the ball up to* now; Jock Campbell gave him a back pass, which lie utmost fumbled. The ball wus eventually cleared and Midfleld play followed for some time. The locals Iiad another turn attacking, and gave the visiting defence a most anxious time, and it wus extremely hard lines that a goal was not chalked up to the credit of the champions. During tlie Inst ten minutes uf (he giinie the visitors made desperate efforts to score. . Stewart and Campbell were a safe pair of backs and allowed nothing to pass them. Time was called without a goal having been registered by either side. For the visitors, Mcl'hilllps, Slobbart alld the two full-backs were about the pick. For the homo learn Conti appeared to be about the best man, although Irvine und O'Donnell played their usual sterling game, these two wing halves being about the most con slstent players iu the Upper lslund League. Harrison, Bannerman and Sutherland were Ihe pick of the forward line.

Mrs. Banks, chairman of the School Board, cordially welcomed the delegation, following wblch they were introduced by Mrs, Hood. Mr. Campbell, who was spokesman for the delegation, laid the two matters before the board. He said the question of paramount importance was the need of immediate action in securing transportation for the children living on Ihe Koyston Roadi These children had to walk long distances- two and three miles—in the rain aud snow to attend school; thoy left home early, often arrived wet and unfit for studies. Added to this they had cold lunches. He thought the School Board could negotiate wilh the government for a grant. In the meantime they could make sonic start to help themselves. I"li.' second item was the need of playground equipment. One of the most essential needs was a shed for shelter in the wet weather. Mrs. Banks snld she had listened to the remarks of Mr. Campbell with great interest. She incidentally mentioned that she had been a regular attendant of the Parent-Teacher Association last year, hut home duties prevented her from doing so now. The providing of transportation was very necessary, she said. The School Board had taken up the matter witli the government, but nothing had been done, though tbey had been promised help. The hoard Intended to have n special room set apart for the Royston chlhl ren. where they could put their ouler clothes and he made eoiuforl- ahle. and also used for a lunch room, said Mrs. Banks. Prolonged discussion took place a ; to the best means of securing transportation. Eventually it was decided to send telegrams to ltev. Thomas Menzies. M.I.A., and to Ihe Minister of Education, requesting fulfilment of promises in this connection. A deputation wlll ulso wait on tbe Council al Us meeting on Monday to ask for aid in both this question and the one of providing equipment.

VEST COAST HOSPITAL FINANCES IMUROVING The financial statement of the West (oast General Hospital shows liablll- tios at September 30 as $3117.24, and accounts receivable as $2372.45. Estimating $1500 of the patient accounts as collectable, and the government grant of $525 In addition to this amount, there remains a deficit jf $1092. At tho end of the first seven months jf the fiscal year, June 30, there was i deficit of $2100. Tlle present smaller i! 'licit is accounted for by the Increase of receipts totalling $2847.73 for the past quarter, Included ln which are lonatlons of $1048.08 received in August and September. The overhead institutional cast per day is $23. For the first ten months of 1919-20 there were 3029 patient days while for the same period of the present fiscal •.ear there were only 1923. VALUE OF IRRIGATION Patricia, Alberta, is a standing testimony to the value of irrigation In tliat province. Two years ago its site was iinbroken prairie .and its surrounding land virgin to the horizon. Today there aro twenty thousand acres under cul- nvation in the district directly tributary to the thriving settlement, which lias most civic improvements and advantages. FIGURES CANT LIE "Arithmetic is a science of truth," laid the professor earnestly. "Figures can't lie. For instance, if one man an build a house In 12 days, 12 men can build it in one day." "Yes," interrupted a quick-brained student; "then 288 will build It in one !iour, 17,280 in one minute, and 1,036,- 800 In one second. And I don't believe they could lay one brick jn the time." Whllo the professor was still gasping, the smart "ready reckoner" went on: "Again, if one ship can cross the Atlantic in six days, six ships can cross it in one day. I don't believe that, either, bo Where's the truth in iritmmetic?" Willie (to his father, who had recently married a second time): "There is a shop up the street just like you, dad." Father: "Shop like me? What do you mean?" Willie (edging towards the door): "Why, It's under entirely new management."

MURDERER OF INDIANS NOT YET APPREHENDED Man Who Killed West Coast Natives Supposed to Have Committed Suicide PORT ALBERNI.—The Kyuquot Indian who killed three other Indians on September 26, has not, up to latest reports, been captured and it is believed by some who knew him well that he may have committeod suicide somewhere in the woods to which he retreated from Kyuquot village.' The name ot the murderer is Ernest Taylor, lie was a married man und Iiad quarreled with his wife. Following tlic quarrel, in which she was badly beaten, Mrs. Haylor left her home in Kyuquot village and went to live with an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Glinsky, who heslde near the whaling station, across the sound from the village. On September 26, Taylor was noticed approaching, in a launch, the Gimsky residence on the beach. He had a rifle with him, and his wife, being informed of his approach, fled from his wrath and hid herself ln the bush. Taylor, on landing, demanded that his wife be produced and, failing to have his demand satisfied, he shot the uncle and aunt, killing the former instantly. A number of other Indians witnessed the altercation and the shooting but refused to interfere because they were afraid of Taylor, who was reputed to be a bad man. Mrs. Gimsky, after receiving her bullet wound, staggered out onto the bench, where she lay alone in agony for three hours before she died. Being satisfied that the aunt and uncle were both dead, and being unable tn locate his wife, Taylor went back to the village where he searched for and found an Indian named Constance, whom he also killed with a bullet from his rifle. Report says that it was jealousy of Constance that caused the quarrel which was followed by the triple murder.—Port Alberni News.

There was n thrilling finish nt Union liny lust week-end between the Union liny Juniors nml Cumberland Juniors In n District. Leaguo game. Despite the wet weather both teams put up a splendid exhibition of t'ooball and goals were numerous, the seaside boys winning out hy 4 goals to :'. The game started out in a downpour of ruin, which continued throughout tho whole of the game, hut tho boys were gritty and stayed with it. Cumberland won the toss and decided to piny with the wind nt their backs, which was quite an advantage. Campheil kicked off for Union Bay but the Cumberland boys immediately go! possession and pressed for the first few minutes, unci Bond lind hnrd lines In not scoring Iho first goul, missing a nice cross by Stevenson. Union Bay then turned the tide and Campbell tried a shot, but Lewis saved aud on the rebound Aiichinvolo con nected nnd scored a line goal wilh a terrific drive, giving Lewis no chance Whatever. This reverse put some ginger into the Cumberland team and Union liny had some difficulty in keeping them from scoring; Auchlnvole, playing a great defensive game, saved his side somewhat. Robertson got the hall from a cross from Freloni and when In a nice position to shoot, five yards out, his chances were spoiled hy Campbell jumping on his back. Referee Reid gnve a penalty kick and Bond converted with a hard shot, thus tieing the score. The game wns fast, although the ball was wet and heavy; it travelled and a fast clip from end to end; Auchlnvole got possession and taking the hall halt the length of the field tried a shot, hut Lewis was right there and saved il, ul the expense of a corner. A ininuln inter Stevenson had hord luck, just missing Ihe goal hy inches with n nice shot from the touehlfne. From the goal kick Mitchell got the bull iu centre field und drove hard for goul. scoring the best goal of the game. A-few minutes inter Freloni nent over n nice cross, Bond accepted II und heat Brown for Ihe third goal. Ilnll'-linic wns culled with no further scoring. Cumberland Juniors 3 goals anil Union liny 1. The second half started off as fast us the lirst, Cumberland pressing for few minutes. After about twenty minutes thc referee gave Union Buy penally kick for Stewart putting his hands on Johnstone; Auchlnvole took the kick and scored, although Lewis partially saved, hut the hull being too wet shlipbed from his hands und went through. file finish wns very thrilling nnd the spectators saw some exciting play. \uchinvole received the ball in an offside position (apparently the referee is not well acquainted wilh the ol'f- idc rule and let it gol and crossed nicely. Campbell connected and scored the equalizer for Union Bay. A minute Inter Johnstone scored Union Bay's fourth goul nnd ended a good game. Union Bay, i goals. Cumberland Juniors, 3 goals. Mr. Hugh Reid of Union Bay acted is referee.

With a dry all he would prohnhly have saved them, Auchlnvole, the right hack ng Union Hay. la developing Into a Hue player; kicking nnd tackling wns very good. This boy should turn out lo ho a good defender, Mitchell, Cumberland Junior's centre half, played ii sterling game and kept Campbell, the Bay's centre, hopping all the way. Campbell is a clever ami tricky centre and he takes some watching. Freloni, the midget outside left, played u clever game; his tricky play was line to watch and his crosses were excellent. Auchlnvole, Iho Bay's outside right, was the star of their forward rank. Johnstone, their centre hall*, played a good game but hud some difficulty in holding Bond.

A Kamloops aviator had trouble with windage on landing in Vancouver. Well, let us think—they have a Gale there, running for parliament and still mayor, and they have opened up halt a dozen politician campaign headquarters, and other meterologlcal phenomena of the kind might hare contributed to effervesce ln the atmosphere. THE ASHES OF A GOOD TIME Police records throughout British Columbia; and beyond in the Prairie towns, reveal an appaUing number of miss' ing girls. Girls will disappear su long us there are girls and men and conditions that make Magdalenes, but the latest figures are ao grave, so penetratingly serious as to leave one thinking. In some instances, let it be hoped, the whereabouts of the missing girl can be explained. Perhaps there was a little misunderstanding at home, or a missing letter, or something. In other Instances, however, the explanation is seldom so reassuring. It is the same old story of misplaced love, the lure of "a good time'* and the ashes that follow the flame. The big cities have several desolate homes. A numbei of girls went away. Some left notes behind, saying that all would be well. But silence does not point to clean happiness as the sequel. Not long ugo, a little Vancouver girl disappeared. Her mother guessed the truth. The parents spent their all seeking the child—she wus little more—and they have Just I'ound her. The llnding only added to sorrow. They I'ound hor—ln a hospital. Fearing exposure, there was another case. The girl "dearly loved a good time" and wus "crazy ubout a nice gentleman." The Seattle police have found her—In a dope resort. But why go on? Within the past five weeks there have been a dozen or more cases of the kind lu this province, und more than half that number has to do with girls (rom rural homes. Good advice Is seldom followed, but a word once more may help some girl in tills town, ere she goes away for "the good time in the city." Girls, there is no good time for you, unless the details are worth going over lirst with your mother! There is forgiveness and rehabilitation for the prodigal son, and there is always mother's forgiveness for the erring girl, but it is Infinitely harder for the prodigal daughter, and she seldom returns lor the veal ol* forgiveness. Maybe you wlll lind a good time—lor a little while, but the ashes will last longer than the flame. It never pays. MARRIED WOMEN IN JOBS A rule may be readily laid down that no married woman jhall be retained in public employment who has a husband capable of supporting her, so that a job may be made for a Jobless man who has a family dependent on lllm. In principle It appears sound; but in practice it is not so easy. Tbe woman may have been steadily at work for years; she may have won her place on merit, und she may hold It for the same reason. Besides, the public service mny be Impaired by her dismissal. Yet it is sure thai, if the public owes anyone a living, it is tlie man with wile and children who Is, through no fault of his own, out of work, and who. If he remains Idle, will be a public charge, with all his dependents. He is entitled to have—lie must have—llrsl consideration.—Portland Oregoniun. After a delay of two years, Hon.

It is proposed to hold a "Cheer-Up Week" throughout. British Columbia during the month of November. The idea is to acquaint the different sections of the province with what development is going on in the province, and thus overcome the pessimism that threatens to bring about greater unemployment than conditions justify during the winter. Some of you old timers, when you have nothing else to do, Just picture to yourself what this district was twenty- five years ago. Think of the buildings and Improvements that have been added. What were then called good times would he branded as "rotten" In comparison with the present so-called depressed conditions. People in this country were never an well housed, as well dressed and have never enjoyed us many comforts, even luxuries, as they do today. Any sighing for "the good old days" is merely a result of a lapse of memory. i A writer In thc New York Tribune recently returned from Ireland after a prolonged visit to that country, and who Incidentally resided there for some twenty years, suggests that the quickest and best method of settling tlic Irish question Is for the newspapers to say nothing about it. The whole Irish question," he says, would settle Itself in no time If the newspapers of England and the United 9tate« would stop publishing anything about Ireland and the Irish. There ls a class of Irish that loves the limelight and ls always ready for an argument. It these fellows did not see anything about themselves or their "grievances" in the papers they would quickly fade away." There is a good deal in the suggestion. And unquestionably It would work wonders with the Irish question as It has In the past with various other debatable matters. Newspaper publicity wlll keep alive any topic, no matter how dead It should be, and the snme apppies tn the individual. A man In public life can be broken by the silence of the press as easily as he can be made by publicity. Take the men whose names were on every lip during the war. Where are they now and what are they doing? Nobody knows and nobody cares. The newspapers have thrown them Into the discard so far ns publicity is concerned and the public in turns forgets Ihelr very existence. Such is fame.—Saturday Night.

Today we find group striving against group, class against class, the industrial and financial structure of the country assailed by false and unsound doctrines and theories, while our great neighbour to the south has adopted a trade exclusion policy directed against Canada's vast agricultural interests. The currencies of nearly every country in the world are depreciated. The Canadian dollar in the United States is subject to a heavy discount causing a loss of over one hundred million dollars in exchange annually. Europe is overwhelmed with war debts—unemployment is acute —and the restoration to pre-war conditions is slow. While Canada is in a much more favorable condition than many countries, yet there is evidence of stagnation, instability, unemployment and lack of confidence. Taxes are heavy because of the country's efforts in the Great War, but have become burdensome on account of the misconceived policies and blunders of Governments that directed Canada's affairs prior to 1911. • These conditions are largely the direct aftermath of the war, but they must be dealt with fearlessly and constructively. This is no time to consider experimental changes, or the theories of visionaries. This is no time for Crerar and his Free Trade policy. This is no time for King and his wobbling "charted" policies, varying with each provincial boundary. It is the time to cling to orderly, stable Government in the interest of all the people; to be guided by the experience of the past, proceeding upon lines that have been proven sound. It is the time to place the destinies of Canada again in the hands of a Government led by a sane, courageous Canadian who has safely brought the country through the trying years of reconstruction, and upon whom we can rely to retain and jjiitiate policies in the interest, not of a group or class but of all the people. It is the time to support Arthur Meighen and his Candidates. %dJism 7mUAJ.44A ifSumJi Rl Tho National Liberal and Conservative Party Publicity Committee OLD COUNTRY FALL AND CHRISTMAS SAILINGS FOR ALL STEAMSHIP LINES ARE AVAILABLE —IF YOU ARE PLANNING A TRIP TO THE OLD COUNTRY THIS WINTER SEE OR WRITE A WORD TO THE WISE MAKE Reservations EARLY Agent E.

C Asiatic Exclusion League In Vancouver lind that a number of Filipinos have been mistaken for Japanese. Some of them are really Chlnese-metzlsos, or half Filipinos and half Chinese, but they are wards of Uncle Sam. The Islanders say work is scare In Seattle, where many of them returned after working in the Alaska canneries and whaling stations. Few have found work there and they are returning across the border before they become public charges. IN all kinds of work, good results require good implements kept in good condition. If the right sort of implement is important to an individual workman, efficient tools for industry and commerce are a necessity. Telephone service is one of the tools of industry and commerce in most common use and upon which much depends. To transmit tho vibration of the human voice from any point to ai y other point demands an expensive mechanism of the highest order of scientific precision and an efficient organization.

GRAINGER, Manager. With the beginning of the nineteenth century the adventurous, if monopolistic arm of the North West Fur Trail ing Company, and of Ihe Hudson's Hay Company, reached across the Rocky Mountains and seized upon the ricli fur areas of the coast. Sir Alexaudei MacKenzie, an employe of the formei concern (which was later absorbed lilts greatest rival) was the llrat of tlu fui-liailln-- oxplorers to nialie his waj to the oiean by the overland route through llritish territory. Mackenzie1 came out where Bella I'oola now stands, The Canadian company estuh llslied itself "Irmly In coastal territory without too strict'a regard for liouu darics. II was nol long, however, until the Americans, with the pioueei Astor In the van, were at the coast with the idea of selling up a trading monopoly similar to Ihat enjoyed 111 llritish areas by the competing company, Astor's headquarters was named alter himself -Astoria. When war broke out between United State.- and Britalu, the Canadian company seized Astoria and held It until peace was made iu 1818. David Thompson's great Journey down the Columbia River was based upon an attempt to forestall Astor and it is said that, had uot a mutiny occurred, Britain would have had a strong claim upon a much larger share of tlie Pacific Coast country than we as Canadians have today The Hudson's Bay Company set up its headquarters at Fort Vancouver on the Columbia' River in 1825. But the Americans were aggressive, and by 1843 their activities had become so pronounced that the company shifted ils base lo Fort Victoria, on the Island ol" Vancouver. Vancouver Island Held By Hudson's Hay (oinpaiij. The Hudson's Bay Company at tllat time held the entire Island under charter from the Crown for colonizing purposes. It has been said that Gladstone took issue with the British government of tllat day concerning the making of this grant to the great fur- trading concern, but was silenced with the reply that the land was thereby held to England ln that settlement by alien squatters was rendered impossible. He that as It may, there was little evidence of real colonizing actl*. ity, and it was said that the company had not any real Intention of becoming active In that direction and so making the llndiug of game more difficult to their hunters, tor by that time the sea-otter had been exterminated and the animals of the forests were the source of their prosperity. Victoria prospered and soon was the dominant centre of trade in the north Pacific. The Americans pressed for tlie control of the coastal areas right lo Alaska, and the "Ilfty-four- forty or light" slogan was born. England sent a fleet to keep a watchful eye upon the farther development of that idea. Hut there grew lu the England of that lime un idea that the count ry was merely a sea of mountains, and in due course the boundary line was settled at the 40th degree as it stands today. History records thai the Hudson's Bay Company lefl some of its posls In American territory as a result of that settlement and withdrew within a aewly-delined llritish area. Just as the star of Spain diminished as (he British constellation grew In brilliance, so did any dreams I Ik directors of the company may have entertained as lo the future of the coast counrty fade with Hie rise to prominence of the gold seeker in tin affairs of British coastal region. Tlle hunters of the precious metal, almost in a day—so great was the force o! the rush of prospectors—swept awa*. the nearly regal sovereignty of the traders in furs. New Caledonia, ns the mainland country was called, was erected Into a Crown colony, and later union was arranged with the Crown colony of Vancouver Island. The rights of the Hudson's Hay Company were pur chased, confederation with the Cana iliau provinces In the ensl brought about, which was followed In die course by the construction of Mie llrsl overland railway from the far east ti the Dominion. llritish Columbia Hiirn. The three great factors In Ihe earl) development of lite coast country the search for northwest passage, tin fur trade and Ihe gold rush—had rui their course and were closed chapters llritish Columbia hud been born. The great, resources nf a vast jiren In lish cries, mines and fertile valleyland: were to be administered by men elect ed by the people for Ihe purpose. Bu historians will never forget the par. the old fur-trading companies playei in Ihe retention of New Caledonia am of Vancouver Island lo British rule. #The union with the oilier Canadiai provinces took place in 1871, and, li that year, the census could credit tin Canadian lands to the west of tin Rockies with but 36,247 people. Tei years later there was qulle an additioi to the rulls, the total being 49,45a. Be tween 1S81 and 1S91 the first ruilwa* through from the east was construct ed to the coast, and the usual resul occurred. The census men, in tin hitter year, found that Ihe populntloi at and about the coast had just abou doubled und gave the province credi for 98,173 people. Almost a slmllai record was made during the ten year. Ihat followed, tor the tolal at the census of 1901 showed an expansion ot (ho population lo the ligure of 178,057 By 1911 the citizens of tlie provlnc. were more than double (lie number oi 1901, for there were 392,480 persons claiming residence in British Coluin bla. These figures mean that since 1881 there has been a practical doubl ing of the population In the provlnee each decade until 1911. The figures of tbe 1921 census enumerators have not been given to the public, but it is safe to assume tlie increase will be substantial, for the second period in this century has been by no means the least in point nf expansion at the Canadian western coast. It is a pleasant task. also, to he able to chronicle the great extent of the expansion in production in British Columbia. Its forests are easily Ihe greatest in Canada and among Iho largest in the world, and the lumbering Industry has been systematically organized lu cut, mill nnd market the /allied product, for Ihe splendid quality of Iho coast woods has created tt demand in many cuuntrles. 'I'lie mineral resources are large, and are varied, and while much wealth lias been won from these sources, Hie prospectors have scarcely scratched the tremendous ureus which arc likely to yield deposits rich lu value lu the ninors in the future The agricultural Industry has showu a rapid and latlsfnctory growth.

Mining is easily tlic inosl romantic if the productive activities In the orovlnce. This may be because of 'he tremendous impetus it gained here al the lime ot tlic gold rush, 'hen tlie mainland was known as New laledoniu ami was the sacred preserve if the fur-traders. He that as it muy, British Columbia is probably, per ■ji pit ii. tlie richest mineral division iu lie Dominion, which is saying a great, leal, foi- Canada is among the favored nations where economical minerals ire concerned.

One can always see the forests, and ;eeing, accept the fact of their exist- -nce as a commonplace. Not so in British Columbia. Here the timber- lands, even according'to the most con- lervative estimates by experts, eon** ain close to 250 billion feet of merchantable wood. This Is about one- tuarler of the total timber resources .il' Canada. In pioneering days in On- larlo, the land was the important thing, and the timber that graced it almost a nuisance. The obstructing trees were cleared off that the land alight be suitably cropped. An occa ■ional wood lot is all that remains of i one-time great forest. That in the ilder-settled portion of the province, in the central and northern sections of Ontario, a great deal of timber remained, and, because the market was ^ood, this had, up to a few years ago, .uliiced to maintain Ontario, from a production and value standpoint, as ;:he chief lumbering province in the Dominion, The figures issued by tlie Federal authorities on lumbering for 1918— the most recent- show that Uie values if production in lumber, shingles and lath, in tlie coast province, now exceed those in Ontario. The pulp and paper industry still enables the old province by the great lakes lo maintain Mie lead. Hut the pulp and paper in- lustry at the coast is growing and it can be but a matter of a few years until the figures of revenues from timber iu Britisli Columbia will be far md away above those from any other Canadian province. i'liiuidian National Hallway Great Help in Distribution.
