Mr. Walker states emphatcially The soccer game of Sunday last played between the Cumberland Eagles and the Port Alberni eleven, produced one thing—a flock of goal",, all scored by the home team. As an) exhibition of the round ball game,; the least said about it the hetter, that' is from a spectator's point of view. | The players themselves, or perhaps a few of them might have been getting a certain amount of enjoyment out of it, but it is a lead pipe cinch the spectators did not. From the first moment of the game it was easily be seen that the visitors were entirely out of practice, some of them we were told afterwards had not kicked n ball for three or four years and the game in consequence suffered. Goals came very fast, the home forwards being able to take the ball right into the Alberni goal at will, Watson and Gibson on the right wing being far too fast for the opposing halves and backs. Watson in this half scored one of the prettiest goals ever seen on the local gTOund—and in the old days the fans got plenty of thrills from the. number of fine goals scored. Bartoldi, playing his first game for the home team was very energetic and with good coaching might develop into a really good player. Eight goals were scored in all by the home team and shortly after half time many of spectators left, there being no further interest in the game. The Eagles appear to have improved over their last appearance and there is the making of several good players in the team. Eagles line-up was: McFarlane, goal Brown and McLellan, backs; Hunter Conrod, and Weir, half-backs; Watson, Gibson, Bartoldi, McFarland and McNeil forwards. J. Thorburn refereed. that he was not the writer of the letter appearing in the Islander and takes this means of notifying the citizens of Cumberland that he resents, very much .his name being connected with the said letter, an any shape or form.

Receive Maynard Cup SUCCESSFUL CELEBRATION ENDS CRIB LEAGUE FOR SEASON Ladies' Crib Club Wind Up Season Jolly Party Held al Eaglet' Home Wednesday A.W. Neill Backs Up Col. Villiers The suggestion that pulverized coal be tried out in the new Canadian National Hotel in Vancouver was made by A. W. Neill member for Comox-Alberni in a series of questions on the order paper. "Will the government endeavor to secure the co-operation of the Canadian National Railways in this matter?" he asked. Lt.-Col. Villiers, speaking before the Nanaimo Board of Trade on Tuesday, March 18th said: "I note that your hoard has been in communication with the President of the National Railway with reference to the installation of a coal heating plant in the new hotel now being built in Vancouver. I have to thank you for doing this. I discussed this question with Sir Henry Thornton in Montreal 12 months ago and he promised to give coal every consideration. I know that his engineers are studying the question, and I have great hopes that we shall succeed in supplying the fuel for this heating plant." It is very pleasing to know that Mr. Neill still has the interest of the coal industry before him and that he is quite anxious to back up Col. Villiers, even though it is twelve months since the president of the National Railway was approached by the Colonel. Following the lead set by their Hale friends ,the "Elite" ladies' crib dub, brought their season to a close >n Wednesday night when a number af members of the club along with friends met at the Eagles' home a jolly party. Crib was played during the early part of the evening foi lowed by refreshments served by an energetic committee. Mrs. Covert in a neat speech said how pleased she was to see them all there that evening and announced the winners at crib as ladies' first, Mrs, J. Murray; second, Mrs. Chas. Walker; consolation, Mrs. Wm. Herd. Gent's, first went to Mayor Maxwell with J. Damonte gaining the second and W. H. Cope the consolation. All through the season the secretary of the ladies crib club kept the scores of the individual players and on Wednesday the prize for the biggest total during tbe season went to Mrs. J. Murray who had a score of 11,112. Miss D. Maxwell, Mrs. F. Baird and Mr. R. Bennie entertained the assembly with songs. St. George's Day To Be Celebrated April 23rd is St. George's Day.

The case came up last week and His Worship reserved judgment. It was felt in the city here that an announcement would have been made before this, but up to the time of going to press no word had been received from the City's representative, Mr. Neil McDiarmid. The arbitrators, Messrs. A. D. Creer and Frank Sawford, awarded the company which had been granted a 50-year franchise, of which twenty-eight years had run, $36,000 for its plant and equipment and $38,000 for loss of profits, a total of $74,000. The city, represented by Mr. Neil McDiarmid, contended that under the original franchise agreement, which reserved to the corporation the right to purchase the company's property undertaking and privileges at any time, the company was not entitled to loss of profits for the unexpired term of the franchise. Mr. J. W. dcB. Farris, K.C., was counsel for the company.

Are Second Highest in Canada Press dispatches have shown thnt the death-rate in British Columbia from tuberculosis is the second highest in the Dominion of Canada. The news item as reported in the press places B.C., on the face of it, in nn unenviable position, but we would beg leave to point out that, while British Columbia has a death rate of 108.2 per 100,000 population for 1928, 35.2 per cent of this is due to North American Indians. The Province is not responsible for their care or supervision, and tho balance of thc population .including Chinese Japanese and East. Indians with n tuberculosis death-rate of twite that of the whites, has a death rate per 100,000 population of 70 in round numbers. Therefore it compares fairly well with the average for Canada. In addition to being obliged to j include the deaths from tuberculosis! amongst the Indians ,we have also I to face the fact that many cases j arc sent to British Columbin on account of climatic conditions. In addition to which, you must add the fact that in the Tranquille Sanatorium 400 cases of returned mon, who demobolized in British Columbia, were treated, not one of thorn originating in British Columbia.—excerpt from the thirty-third report of the Provincial Board of Health. Pulverized Coal Test Proceeding PACIFIC MONARCH BLOWS CYLINDER HEAD BUT SOON REPAIRED Blowing off an intermediate pressure cylinder cover on Saturday afternoon while inbound to Vancouver the sen-going; tugboat Pacific Mnn arch of Pacific (Coyle) Navigation Co. Ltd. was towed into port from English Bay on Saturday evening. She was taken to the company dock at Coal Harbor, repaired and placed back in commission on Tuesday. This vessel is carrying out a practical test of tho use of pulverized coal ns fuel for coastwise tugboat work. The test is working out sat- sifactorily, it is stated, though the officials refuse to make any detailed statements until after the vessel has run official trials of six hours' steaming, which will probably be done next week. Meantime the tug has been employed in actual towing operations, and has performed well. The efficiency of the new fuel, in spite of thc fact that there arc many operating details which must be worked out in practice, is already proved to be better than hand fuel, Belter results arc expected when it is operating tO full efficiency.

The term used in this connection is j; EDWARD W. BICKLE THE GLORIOUS DAY EASTER is the Emancipation anniversary of Christian world—the one day of all the year, next to the advent that is the most glorious and worthy of signal remembrance. It brings with it a now inspiration of faith in God and of perfect assurance in His Love for the children of men. Every swelling bud and sprouting leaf reminds us that the life which conquers death in nature's realm has its parallel in the Resurrection—that great central fact of Christianity—in which wc have the assurance of our spiritual revivification. Christ in us becomes the vitalizing force which lifts us from the darkness of sin and death into light and life everlasting. This nld world of ours needs more Easter cheer, lt needs to realize that the risen Christ and Ihe empty tomb have for the whole race a grander and higher significance than any other event since time began. It needs lo grasp Ibe imperishable truth that, when the Son of God burst the bars of death and the grave. He revealed the way of life eternal to all who accept Him and follow His footsteps. His resurrection was the divine pledge of our .own, and the soul that rests upon Him has already risen from the deadness of sin and began the life everlasting management for a sustained yield. What does I; this mean ? ! ■ Canada stands in a unique and very fortunate i I —position with regard to her forest producing ; lands, in that over nine-tenths of them belong to j! the state. We are not required, as is the United:' States, for example, to purchase back our forest! lands at a price many millions of dollars so as tol have some guarantee of future supplies of timber, j Sustained yield, then, of Canadian forests does not represent the problem that it does in the' U. S. We own the forest lands. It remains! for the people to say what will be done with it. We have passed the stage when the man in the street still thinks of the forest of Canada as inexhaustible. We have passed the stage when the man in the street thinks that the forests, even if protected from lire, will manage themselves so as to meet the requirements of the wood- using industries. We have reached a point now when the public realizes that forests are a crop, a product of the soil, the same as farm crops, We know from many years of experience that farms will not keep on producing unless they are properly managed. The science of agriculture has long been recognized as necessary to the proper use of land both from an economic and productive point of view. Now comes the recognition thai the science of Forestry is just as necessary if our forest-producing lands are to produce forests crops in sufficient quantities and of the required quality to meet the demands of the wood-using industries. Here comes the idea of sustained yield. It is a term that signifies a sane and correct use of forest land. A use that will keep the land con HEALTH SERVICE ofthe Canadian Medical Association For such, the grave is nut an abiding place, butir: y ,— ,-.— „ , . . the vestibule of the greater and nobler life tinuously productive of wood crops and not simply beyond. ono C1'°P- .,„ „ , ,, . . „ , , Lot us take for example, a forest crop that is Therefore, at this joyous Easter time, when ready tor the harvest.

The sustained yield idea of permitting such lands to lie idle and tlie woods adorning themselves with the living green and the air is resonant with the song o birds. Over all the earth, wherever the name of Jesus is known, it is the glad emancipation time: Tis the festival of all creation, Christ hath risen, who gave creation birth. The Easier festival of our forefathers covered a period of fifteen days. Thc week beginning with Easier Sunday was almost entirely given over to sport and games and general merry making. Our office dog says: "Some people are so expert they ian pat your back and harpoon you at the same time." useless for decades—or centuries—to come. It eliminates the idea of leaving a lire trap for that arch-forest devastator, Fire, to sweep over year after year. Would we be content to use our garden once to raise a bumper crop, and then consider it had performed its function and let it grow into a wilderness of weeds? Would w an insane idea? What, then, of our public forest lands that either net us a profit in taxes, or become a burden through lack of employment caused by vanishing forest supplies? Management of our forests on a sustained yield basis is the way out—the only way out—and the sooner we recognize the fact tho sooner our forests will be made healthy and productive from generation to generation. Questions concerning Health, addressed to the Canadian Medical Association, 184, College St., Toronto, will be answered personally hy correspondence. THE WAY TO HEALTH "Give mc health and a day,and I will make the pomp of emperors ridiculous!" wrote Emerson. There Is no other sincJe item of greater Importance in our lives than health, because health is necessary for success in practically everything which we undertake. Health is net merely a matter of evaditiK disease, We do, of course, seek to evade disease, ful in order to enjoy health, we must give attention to our manner nf living. A condition of health i< a normal condition which accompanies right living. Disregard of the needs of the body, abuse or neglect of the body, sooner or later result in a loss of health, if not actual disease. The benefits of Rood health nre so obvious that it is not necessary to present arguments .in their favor and take time to discuss what everyone is willing to acknowledge. The question of importance is how all j may acquire and enjoy the benefit:, i which good health has to offer. Thc way is not difficult. It re-1 quires that a simple, sensible regime i be the regular habit of life. Th3 . habits which lead to health are noith-1 ; er numerous nor difficult to under-, '. stand, and they can readily be made, j the habits of our individual lives. | j We came into this world with a ; • body which has been given to us. It, j not consider this may have certain imperfections, but I; what we are interested in are its po-1 ; tentialities. Physically and mentally we have possibilities, and whether or not these are developed to the full determines what measure of our attainable physical and mental health we enjoy. Some have more difficult task than others, but practically all eanijg] arrive at a condition which makes I llll a pleasure, providing the effo-t made. Like everything worth j HJ while, health represents an effort,'gs bat also like things worth while, It 1U is worth striving for. 3**** The beginning of the road to.JU health is marked by a sign-poBt! K*| pointing out the need for an under-. Im s andlng of your own body. The road vou will follow depends somewhat upon your condition as you start out. You should have an appraisal made of your body to know if thero are imperfections that require attention: your capacity should be known so that you may gear your pace to it. Start out with a Periodic Health Examination so that you may know yourself nnd your needs. From thnt, go on to a full measure oT health by living according to thc simple rule:- jSjl I Of healti -||j Li A Nog o theatre, the first of its kind in G rmany, was opened recent- ly in Ker in.

Regarding cost of coal ir. Vancouver he said: "The price received at the mines f.ob. scows is 56.47 per short ton. Transportation, insurance and harbor dues bring the price to about $7, per short ton alongside dealer j' wharves. The dealers have many expenses, including screening, sacking, cartage, etc. ,to meet before the conl is delivered to consumers, As to what margin remains in dealers' hands I am unable to state. "The Island collieries have no monopoly of the domestisc market, either in Vancouver or Victoria There is keen competition both from other B.C. mines and AlDerta ligndtea Considering the long haulage from the Alberta mines to Vancouver one would think that the Island coals should be able to undersell and exclude Alberta lignites, and so they could if it was not for the high cost of production and distribution of Island coal. "Alberta mines can and do produce coal at less than half the cos; of production on Vancouver Island; in fact, various mines in Alberta in which we are interested sell their coal with a fair margin of profit at a price considerably less than we ear produce it at the tipple on the Island. I wish we had those mines here." Coal May "Come Back". During the past five years. Col. Villiers said, his company had reduced the cost of coal by a $1 a ton. He doubts if much further reduction can be made. "I am afraid that I have drawn a rather gloomy picture of the present state of the coal industry", he said, "but I feel perfectly confident that the day of coal is by no means over. More scientific methods of using coai are constantly being invented; in fact it can be said with truth that the more scientific use of coal is largely responsible for the decrease*! tonnage of coal used. For instance, in the generation of electric powev the consumption of coal per kilowatt hour has been cut during tin- last ten years by 45 per cent. Croat reductions have also been mado in the consumption of coal used to gen- j crate steam in locomotives. Naturally ; in the long run, increased efficiency ■ in the use of coal must bo beneficial to thc coal industry, a greater demand will be created and the competition of other fuels will be overcome. "Both in Europe ar.d America intensive research work is being carried on and so it seems probable that within a few years we shall see coal displacing oil in many countries, not in its present stale, but in liquid form. Col. Villiers spoke of the advances made in Germany in production of oils from coal and of low temperature carbonization. He doubts, however, if low temperature carbonization plants now in existence are being operated as economic successes. "Possibly the most immediate improvement wo may see in the coai business will be due to advancement in the use of coal in pulverized form. Considerable quantities of pulverized coal have been used on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver for some years past. The Island collieries supply over 70,000 tons of coal for this purpose annually, which inci- dcntly is a higher proportion of our total output than the percentage of the output in the United States used in similar form. Dependent on Vancouver. "Unfortunately at present pulverized coal can not bo successfully used to compete with oil fuel in the heating of the smaller class of buld- ings. In fact manufacturers of one of the best known powdered fuel plants informed me that they could not recommend the plant for use under a boiler of less than 100 h.p. But there are other methods of using coal for domestic purposes which I think can compete with and in some ways better than nil furnaces. Thc method I refer to is by the use of stokers. The "iron fireman," for instance gives the greatest sti. faction and is very economical. There are, of course, many other stokers which can be installed at no greater cost than oil furnaces, They an; thoroughly automatic and need very little attention beyond the removal occasionally of the clinker formed by the ash. These stokers arc efficient, economical and perfectly safe. There can be no danger of explosion with them. "In conclusion, I should like to emphasize the importance of our coa! industry to you, representatives of trade and industry in Vancouver. The Island collieries spend over $5,* 000,000 a year in wages and stores, 80 per cent of this amount is paid in wages. Both our mines and mining towns on Vancouver Island are based on your city. Nearly all our supplies, both for the mines and mine employees, and also for the hundreds of other people directly or indirectly dependent for their living on the mines, are purchased in your city." —Vancouver Province. ALBERTA PLACES BAN , NESTLE'S MEETS ON IMMIGRATION! HUGE DEMAND) Edmonton, April 14.—Announcement was made today by Hon. Geo. Hoadley, minister of agriculture, that a ban has been .placed on immigration into Alberta until such a time as the unemployment situation clears up. The only type of immigrants who will be welcomed arc those who may come with the purpose and ability to settle on the land of their own, with sufficient means to maintain themselves for a reasonable time.

Mr. and Mrs. Ungurlan and family. ot Vancouver, have moved to Campbell River. Pied Thulin, of Lund, arrived on Sunday and is the guest at the home of his son, Oscar Thulin. Minto Bradford Ellison, Manager of the Nestle's Food Company of Canada, Limited, famous manufacturers of condensed and evaporated milk, has returned fro ma recent extensive trip across Canada in the interests of his Company. Mr. Ellison commented on the) spirit of optimism prevalent through-) out the Dominion, and expressed the i conviction that the conditions were never more favorable for business) expansion. Because of rapidly ex-1 panding sales and in line with recent intensive developments, Nestle's have evolved a new slogan which they feel will more fully express the j j world-wide popularity of their pro-j j duct. In future all Nestle's adver- j tising will curry the slogan—Nestle's', —World's largest producers and sellers of condensed and evaporated milk." The slogan is an admirable indication of thc growth of the Com-' pany, which is now a universal institution selling its products in every I country on earth.
