VOL. VI., No. 13 THE ISLANDER. CUMBERLAND, B.C., SATUKLAY, JUNE 19. 1915. Subscription price. $1.50 per year EFFECTIVELY BLOCKADED ROME, June 19.-—Silence about the naval operations in the Adriatic must not be thought to imply inactivity of tlie Italian fleet, which, on the contrary, is paralyzing successfully every movement of the Austrians by maintaining an effective close blockade of the Adriatic, which it I continually patrols. Austrian warships ancl torpedo craft do not dare to leave their ports, ancl are thus prevented con- i centrating at one point or reinforcing the! insufficient naval forces scattered along' the Dalmatian coast. For al! practical . purposes the Austrian fleet has ceased to be a fleet, Observation and wireless stations on the Dalmatian Islands have been destroyed, and thus the movements of the Italian fleet are unknown to Austria. Yet the entire Austrian fleet, though condemned to inactivity keeps steam up and is alway ready. Since surprises are feared, and especially night attacks, the strain upon the officers and crew is tremendous and as a consequence their morale is of the lowest. The majority of the crews indeed belong to the Italian unredeemed provinces, and their sympathies are with the enemy. As to the actual fighting of the Italian fleet it has, during the last fortnight, twice bombarded Mon- falcone, which the Italian troops now occupy, once the Dalmatian coast and once the Islands, with good results, while naval airships dropped bombs over Pola, Fiume and Sebenico. If the result of the naval operations had consisted only in paralyzing the Austrian fleet, such result would be sufficient, since it proves the superiority of the Italians, which the enemy seriousiy and fully recognize. George and Miss Tarbell, of C. H. Tarbell and Son. returned home on Tuesday evening from a visit to the Panama exposition. m! mi m "j W ■ ■■;<:'?*« '■'■'^yy*-sv ■ ■'-■•■'■ ■ ■■'■■■'$ * .' ■■■*■"'*', W./J.-V .

Y'ou can tell more about the inhabitants if a town by a trip through the back alleys than many persons imagine. Some of the back yards are neat as pins while others would put an old brush fence hog i u to shame. We are glad to say that he latter are few and far between. Back .■ards relied the character of the iwners, Sometimes the front yards will be bubbling over with flower beds and posies and thr back yards will be chiefly s op barrels, tin cans and rubbish. You can guess what kind of people live there. 3 ''.vetin.es both front yards and. back yards correspond and are wrecks alike. You can easily place the owners. Sometimes both front and back yards show tin* ttmost rare and attentior, and it is hard to tell which is the cleaner. You have no trouDle in classifying the people who live there. If either the front or back yard must be neglected let it be Ihe front one. D in t try to present a Queen Ann Front .vith a Mary Ann Back. An ill kept back y ird is dangerous and a menace to good health. The City Council held their regular session gon Monday evening*. Accounts amounting to $43.27 were referred to the Finance Committee.

It is a question which will not down. Does the average citizen realize that it is, without exception, the most momentous question which confronts him? Does he realize that on its proper solution depends the prosperity, net only of Cumberland I and other coal-mining towns, bnt of the entire province? For that is the literal truth. A swift return to almost normal conditions, with work and wages for all; or a long it-ul gloomy sojourn in tlie doldrums of depression, with a hrm' percentage of the population < chionically on the verge of actual starvation.

COMMENT The fearless editor may offend and lose a subscriber, but if he is right in the end he will gain twelve. He may lose one advertiser but if he is right he will gain five thereby. If he tries to ride all the horses in the field he will be unhorsed by each of them The editor should follow his earnest well-considered convictions, and the man whom he should labour to please is himself. If he does this with ability and without tear or favour he will have a greater following and better support than he who trims his sails to every changeable breeze, and without chart or compass, principle or purpose, drifts aimlessly about with every shifting tide. Never find fault because a newspapers fails to .give every scrap of news so long as you take no pains to give the editor information. The average editor! is not a medium or a mind reader, but he gets the news the same way that a milkman gets iris milk- by pumping. This is true especially of that class of items known as "personals." Righi y they are not 'puffery,' but simply personal mention for the information of local readers, and those having friends visiting them, should always let the local editor know it and he will be glacl to 'jive it the proper notice. So if you have a bit of news worth printing put it in the way of our pencil pusher.
