IS CUMBERLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1929. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM A Review Of The First Session Of The Provincial Legislature (Special to Cumberland Islander) Victoria, March 27.—The Arm ses- alon of British Columbia's seventeenth Legislature, just closed, has been one of peculiar Interest Inasmuch as it has witnessed a beginning of reconstruction of the country's business system under a Government and a Parliament of which the majority of the members are new to Provincial public service. This House and Government has been chosen by the people of British Columbia at a general election, committed to reorganization of the public business on lines making for a 'reduction of the taxpayers' burden, expansion of Industries and of population, and, generally, conduct of Provincial affairs on straightforward principles of business. The party now fn power, while It was in opposition, had vigorously criticized Its then ruling antagonists for sins of both ommisslon and conimis- sion, iu policy and in admistratlon. The Conservative party had promised specific reforms in various directions. Given power, it suggestively had promised also to avoid the faults in Liberal conduct of affairs that in past years had been subject to Conservative criticism and protest. The new government and its party, now in power, have properly to a large extent been upon trial at this Just-ended first session, In respect of a general making good of campaign promises and correction of the faults of its predecessors In power. Now that the session has ended, lt Is In order to review the accomplishments of thd House since it was called together, and, by analysis of the sessional record, determine how honestly and to what extent tho expectations of the people In endorsing Conservative control have thus far been realized. During late sessions under thc former Liberal government, the then Conservative opposition complained ■ with apparent justification that the ■Speech from the Throne at successive openings of the House fulled to disclose with detlnlieness the sessional ■business- that the Liberal govern- yzLtnl wns open to censure for not having public legislation ready for consideration when the House assem- bled—tba! it was at fault In presenting the public accounts and the e3- 11 mates of revenue and expenditure ln unbusinesslike form, making a clear understanding of the fiscal position /.of the country If not impossible—-and with delaying Important legislation u til the dying days of tbe session and then rushing It through with inadequate allowance of time for its Intelligent consideration and discussion. Honest and Thorough Effort Made it the manifesto of the present Prim* Minister. Hon. Dr. Tolmle, embodying the various features of policy on which he and his party went to the country in July last, be now compared with the King's speech with which the session at Victoria opened on the 22nd January last, and with the record of the 1929 session, It will be recognized Ihat a very honest and very thorough effort has been made by the new Premier and his colleagues to implement at the first opportunity Conservative pledges given during the last campaign. Tlie Conservatives went to the country promising to do all possible toward hastening the restoration to British Columbia of the Railway Belt and Peace Itiver Block lands. During former sessions and In the coursj of the last two general election campaigns. Liberal leaders, Liberal candidates and tho Liberal presB bid strongly capitalized the discreditable suggestion that only a liberal government in power at Victoria could be counted upon to press and secure recognition for the righteous claims of British Columbia in this connection. Conservative leaders on the othier hand maintained, with greater appreciation of tho honor standards of the federal government, that the Ottawa authorities were bound to deal with the matter of these vast areas having regard only to legitimacy and strength ' of the Provincial case, apart from and Independent of the political complexion of the government for tho time being in control of British Columbia's nfl'nlrs. Cordial Reception by Dominion Parliament That the Conservative view waa sound In this connection was speedily established by the attltdue of tbe Dominion Premier and the cordial and fair reception accorded to the Conservative representatives of the Province who, soon nfter taking office, discussed at the national capital, with the leaders of the national government, details of this Important Issue. The bana (Ides of the federal government and the expressed confidence of the Provincial administration that (air play would prevail, have been Justified in the basic agreement reached, which His Honor was In a position to refer to at the opening of the Provincial session. The two governments had amicably reached an understanding of mutual acceptability, the provincial claims being fully recognized and admlnstratlvc details alone remaining for adjustment by departmental officials of the two parties concerned. (Continued on page three) Large Attendance At Rod and Gun ' Club Smoker Business Meeting Was Followed by Jovial Time i The Rod and Gun Club held a busi- f ness meeting in the Cumberland Hall I on Saturday evening last which was . very well attended. A great deal of business in connection with the club was transacted, which was followed by a very jolly smoker. There was nearly eighty members present when the smoker opened ,and the executive committee had left nothing undone to assure the success of the evening. Local artists entertained the assembly, and refreshments, both solid and liquid were served bounteously. At 11:: 15 the smoker came to a close, all present voting it one of the best in the history of the club. The Cumberland Rod and Gun club Is one of the llvest gun clubs In British Columbia, having upwards of one hundred and sixty enthusiastic members who iu addition to being proud of their club are very anxious to see that the game laws of the province, especially In this district, are rigidly lived up to. Crows Nest Pass Mine Is On Fire Heavy Loss Feared if Blaze Spreads; No Miners in . Workings Fernie, March 27.—No. 1 oast mine of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company here has a fire burning in No. 22 tunnel section. The outbreak was first discovered by an underground worker when coming off shift Monday afternoon. The fire wns immediately reported to the officials and all worker.) were hastily withdrawn and the oncoming shift not permitted to enter the mine. Pending full survey and Investigation of the condition within the affected area of the mine, no official information is being made public. In fact so much caution over the existence of the mine fire has been observed that even colliery residents annd dismissed afternoon shift workmen had no knowledge of it. Since discovery of the fire, officials Oi the company and the government organized a systematic Inspection of the underground workings and, although continuing the search throughout Monday and Tuesday, the extent of the danger zone has not yet been full determined. The mines at this colliery had been idle for three days proceeding and | Monday was the first capacity opera- [ tlon following the temporary ahut- j down. In the event of this fire having | gained any large proportions, it will have grave consequences with respect ! to the production of coal from this | colliery, as No. 1 east mine produces j the hulk of the tonnage. j ! i ! HOLE-IN-ONE BY MR. T. GRAHAM Popular Mining Engineer Joins the Select Dodo Club On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Thomas Graham, playing at the Comox Golf course with his son Morton, turned a trick he has been striving for, for a long time, when he managed to hole-ln-one at tbe sixth hole. It was during the second game that tbe miracle happened. The sixth hole at Comox, whilst being a short hole, only 124 yards, is also considered to be a very difficult hole, as the bole Is so constructed that It la necessary to get a high pitch shot to land on the green at all. If the shot Is not high enough there fs danger of hitting a tree which blocks the flag from the tee. Mr. Graham has, on several occasions landed on the green at this same hole in one stroke but Tuesday was the first time he ever managed to hole-ln-one. The shot was stated by an onlooker to be a perfect one on this occasion, going straight and true to the flag. The ball landed about one foot short of the pin, bounced once and dropped clean Into the cup thus makfng Mr. Graham a member of the very select Dodo club. Mr. Graham whilst being excited about the hole-ln-one, continued the j round, finishing with a score of 84 for the 18 holes a very creditable performance. Protection Of Dogwood Gets Warm Support Grand Post of Native Sons of B. C. Endorses Action to Prohibit Vandalism Endorsement of the action which the Provincial Government will take to prevent the destruction this spring of dogwood trees with their loads of blossoms, wns given by the Grand Post executive of the Native Sons of British Columbia at Its meeting in Victoria recently. Assurance of this action was given by Hon. F. P. Burden, Minister of Lands, to Mr. J. Fyfe Smith, Vancouver park commissioner, tn Victoria last week, and it is expected that an order- In-coucll will be passed In the next few days. The new regulations will seek to preserve the beauty of the dogwood for the benefit of the public. Tills move by the Government, It Is safd ,1s aimed directly at those who strip shrubbery from the roadsides, killing both trees and blossoms aud causing a great waste of the natural beauty of the roadside, The Native Sons of British Columbia will urge the Government also to take steps to protect tbe arbutus trees from destruction and vandalism. Pioneer Of Island Passes To His Rest Mr. Frank Dallos Dies After Long Illness—Funeral Thursday Cumberland loses one of its old time and most respected citizens In the death of Mr. Frank Dallos. Mr, Dallos wns boru at Toreno, Italy, in 18C5, and came out to New York while still very young. For forty years Mr. Dallos has been a resident of Vancouver Island, nine of which | were spent. In Nannlmo, where he has i made many friends aud Is very well j known. j Thirty-one years ago Mr. Dallos ; came to Cumberland and started in I the wholesale liquor and grocery bus- | Iness In partnership with John Tha, | making many friends amongst tbe old j timers of Comox and Courtenay. On | giving up the grocery business the i deceased purchased the Waverley Hotel, where he has been proprietor j for twenty-two years. j Mr. Dallas has been falling in health for some time and was taken to the | Cumberland Hospital, but feeling < somewhat stronger was taken homo j again where he seemed to Improve for a while. On Monday morning he | took a relapse and remained unconscious to the end, and it is with deep regret that Cumberland lays another old-timer to rest. The funeral took place on Thursday at 4 o'clock from Uie home of Mrs. D. Gordon. The pall-bearers, all old time friends of the deceased were: Messrs. Dan. Kilpatrlck, Courtenay; Con Reifle, Na- | naimo; H. L. Bates, Joe Tobacco, Jim ! Tobacco, Joe Aspesy, Cumberland. I He leaves to mourn his loss a . widow, three daughters, Mrs. D. Gor- j don and Miss Lottie Dallos of this I city and Mrs. W. Milllgan of Regina I and two sons, Mr. Joseph Dallos of j this city and Mr. Fred Dallos of Port- I land. Pulverized Coal at Sea The Hororata's Voyage London, En., February 28, (By the Shipping Correspondent In the London Dally Times).—Within the last few days the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamship Hororata, of 11,200 tons gross, has arrived In New Zealand after a voyage, or unique character, of 11,000 miles from this country, The special features of the voyage were that three of tho six- boilers were fed throughout by pulverized coal and satisfactory accounts have now been received in London of this practical experiment. The Pulverizing plant was designed by the Howden-Buell Combustion Company, and thc owners have decided that, on the return of the ship to this country, the whole of the boiler installation shall be equipped on tbe same plan. Not only was the voyage the longest one In which pulverized fuel has been used, but the performance was also distinctive by reason of the variety of coal consumed. Each of the following ordinary kinds of coal was used In turn —(1)Welsh steam coal; (2) North of England coal (Townley Run-O'- Mlne); (3)Scottish Aitken Steam Navigation coul; (4) Virginian coal which was bunkered at Newport News and (5) New River Coal, taken on at Panama. On the homeward voyage the vessel is to burn New Zealand Blackwell coal, The employment of these different kinds of coal Is an Indication that vessels using pulverized fuel will be able to bunker in all parts of the world where ordinary steam bunker coal Is available. They will not bo restricted to special routes or particular ports for their supplies. Hitherto many marine euglneers have assumed that, for raising steam, from 60 to 65 tons of oil are the equivalent of 100 tons of coal. The economy that may be secured from the use of pulverized coal Is shown by a marked reduction In this discrepancy, .and It fs considered that from 75 to 80 tons of oil would be needed to do the work of 100 tons of pulverized coal of reasonable thernal efficiency. , , Experience has now proved that a pulverized coal Installation can be worked by the same number of men as are normally employed for an oil- burning ship In which there Is certain economy, as compared with a vessel burning ordinary coal. Points brought out on the recent voyage of the Hororata Include the following advantages secured from tbe use of pulverized coal:—(a) Increased speed, (b) economy of consumption, (c) the absence of any ash deposit on deck, (d) a smaller Btaff for the boiler room, and (e) uniformity in steam pressure. Those who are now engaged In perfecting the system of the pulverization of coal are convinced that such good results will be shown In conjunction with blgl|-pressure hollers that ln certain trades, both oil-burning and Internal combustion installation will, in the course of time, be superseded Should this belief be confirmed coal would be restored to its old position in shipping, which would have far reaching conseqences for the British coal Industry, Regular Meeting Of City Fathers Permission Granted to Bring in By-Laws at Next Meeting The regular meeting of the City Council wns held on Monday night with Mayor Alex. Maxwell presiding and all aldermen present, when communications were read from tbe Cumberland General Hospital Board stating that the city grant of $1,000 was satisfactory to the board, and from the Cumberland Board of Trade ro traffic signals. The latter communi- catlon was ordered to be laid on the table to come up later for discussion. Bills and accounts amounting to $862,20 were referred to the flnanco committee and if found correct ordered to be paid. The chairman of the finance committee reported the finances to be in good shape and recommended that tho sum of $1500. be transferred to the School Trustees account to meet salaries for the month, The board of works chairman re ported work on the olty Btreets progressing, stable floor and wall repaired and also notified tbe council that the City Health officer had Issued Instructions that no more garbage he dumped In the school grounds. Water and Light committees reported everything satisfactory. Under the heading of new business the council discussed the communication from the Board of Trade re traffic signals when the city clerk was instructed to find out the cost of Installing Bfgnals similar to tbe signals In Btalled In Courtenay, with the red and green lights. Permission was granted Alderman Parnham to bring In at the next meeting of the council the licensing bylaw and permission was also granted Alderman Mumford to bring a by-law governing the operation of pool rooms. -iload i: mm poyodoj fyiera ,tyo atij, erty holder In the city had made enquiries re blasting In the city limits. The property holder In question was desirous of clearing his property of stumps and as lt would require a certain amount of blasting had approach- the city clerk to ascertain tbe correct procedure. It was the opinion of the council that whoever had charge of the blasting would have to give- a guarantee that any damage done to adjacent property would have to bo paid for and that all care must be taken tp protect passers-by. The Mayor stated that iu company with Alderman Mumford, he had gone over the ground at the end of the road now being constructed to Jctok's Point, reporting that a very admirable site for park purposes, as outlined lu a recent letter received from the Comox Logging and Railway Company through Mr. Filberg could be secured and Instructed the clerk to notify Mr. Filberg of the views of the council. UNION BAY EXAMINED BY MINING EXPERTS AS SITE FOR SMELTER ON COAST Has Many Points Which Make Ideal for Smelter Union Bay again is receiving some j attention as a prospective site for tho smelter proposed to be constructed ; on the Coast, in connection with the treatment of copper. Speculation ln j this regard has centred on the in- j tentlons of the Consolidated Mining |£ Smelting Company in connection i with its extensive holdings of copper I at and near tidewater on Vancouver Island. Union Bay lias been examin , ed by representatives of the company' recently, presumably in connection with smelter accommodation. In support of locating at that point Is the fact that it is the shipping point for the Comox Collieries, Is in closo i proximity of the railway terminals al Vancouver, und is well served by rail, road and wharf accommodation.

REV. (.. B. KINNEY TRAVELS OVER LAKE IN LEAKY ROW BOAT Former Cumberland Cleric Stationed at Procter on Kootenay Lake The Rev. G, It.

The Rev, ti. Kinney in a report In the Western Recorder, just received at the Islander office says: "Previous lo my coming bore In the summer of '25, the field was Indifferently worked with supply help and occasional help from Nelson.

Cumberland, B.C. Many members of the House believed that the passage of the new law would be followed by Immediate demands of Labor men for its enforcement. This however, has noi. occurred. Only one application, from a night watchman, has been received ao far. None of the thousands of workers in the lumbering and catering Industries, which were under tho old law for a time, has moved yet to secure the enforcement of the present act. This apathy on the part of labor to the statute puzzles the government, It Is reported that organized labor Is not eager to invoke the statute In Industries where union already have established wage scales, and this may explain the apparent lack of Interest.

PAGE THREB 1( A Review Of The First Session (Continued from page one) The future ot the Pacific Great Eastern Railway occupied a conspicuous place among campaign Issues, j Again in this matter it had been per- j sistently urged by Liberalism that only a government of like faith with j that enthroned at uttawa could be [ trusted, as persona grata, to find a solution of an outstanding provincial problem with which such Liberal governments had grappled unsuccessfully during the past decade and a half, and which the late Premier Oliver, strong man as he was, had given up as hopeless of solution. In striking coptrast with the record ot Liberalism In connection with this P. O. E. master puzzle, is the measure of very practical progress achieved within a few months by the new premier and his associates in office. In this extra-important matter His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor was able to announce nt the assembling of Parliament, upon the advice of his new ministers, that the future of the Pro- vlncially-owned railway was receiving earnest attention, and that Information on to the rosources of the railway-grant lands waB being collected and asembled and a thorough survey being made as to the location and assets of the road itself. The result to be expected, from such businesslike and systematic attack of and admittedly difficult and complex problem already has been made apparent. During the progress or the session, the Prime Minister found himself in a position to announce various offers for the purchase of the road as to which Hon, Mr. Oliver less than three years ago had said "I can't give it away", even with a bonus of 16,000.000,000 acres—and that an arrangement had been consumated whereby both the Canadian Pacific and the Canadian National managements were Joined with the provincial government in a complete survey of the potentialities of traffic for both the existing line and its projected ex- te-alon to the Peace River areas. In this regard, practical evidence was forthcoming of awakened interest in the long-maligned "White Elephant*' by both C.P.R. and C.N.R. in the fact that they nre jointly contributing to the cost's of the pending survey In propor'ion or two to one of the expenditures; borne by the directly affected provincial owners. P.G.E. May Be Further Extended \nd In further testimony to tbe fact that the new Conservative government has intelligently and effectively ap plied Itself to permanent solution of the Pacific Great Eastern question. Col. Nelson Spencer .second member for Vancouver and a Provincial representative on the P.G.E. directorate, was able to inform the House shortly prior to prorogation (in the Premiers regretted absence) that a chief purpose of the pending survey of the resources and conditions of the railway- grant lands was determination of a fair price to be asked by the province and paid Jointly by the two great trans-Canadian railways not only for acquirement of the Pacific Great Eastern as it now exists, but Its further extension to tap the rich areas of the Peace River country and establish and maintain connection therewith, of material and lasting benefit to the business interests of British Columbia as a whole and stimulation of provincial growth, In population and industrially. Land Settlement Question The question of land settlement and the related mater ot simulating agricultural production figured largely In pre-election Conservative policy. That pledge given In respect thereto were from the outset meant and properly kept ln mind was evident at the opening of the House by those portions of His Honor's formal deliverance thereto. The Government had not even waited for the meeting ot parliament to initiate the policies endorsed by the electorate for the relief of the agricultural Industry and the better encouragement of utilisation of the land. Measures had also been devised and applied without evltable delay to assist In solution of the difficulties of settlers on the Irrigated lands of the Okanagan and the expensively reclaimed lands of Sumas. With results already apparent ln restoration of hopeful confidence among those lately despondent farmers, stimulation of settlement, and tangible assurance of rapidly Increased volume of home- produced food esentials and economically advantageous reduction of Imports from the United States. Marketing Brooch Organized The prime necessity ot agricultural progress, in the provision of more scientific facilities for the marketing of products of field and farm further has been met by the new Government ln the immediate organization of a Marketing Branch ln connection with the concerned Department, the public cost of which promises to be many times repaid in beneficial marketing aid. Prior criticism of the conduct under Liberalism of the financial affairs of the province already has been shown warratned by the investigations of independent auditors; and, acting upon the recommendations of . these experts, such changes have been uade aud are being made in fiscal ystem as will not only permit of a etter understanding of provincial inancea by the people,'but In addition UUBtantUtlly reduce the cost ot gov- rnmeut, with no Impairment of use- ui services. Stricter Control of Public Utilities ln view of tbe growing importance if public utilities, the advlsabilty of irovldlng some measure of stricter o.nrol also received consideration by .;e new government almost from its establishment, with the result that itch amendments have been made in lie Water Act as will enable tbe board .i' experts operating thereunder to .ore effectually safeguard public invests not only i:i maintained qual- ly of service by private companies ut in Lhe rates chargeable by such sompanles to the public in its capacity it consumer. ! $9,000,000,000 for Bonds Recognition was given in the Throne ipeech of Immediate needs of British olumbia in the matter of highway facilities to encourage development : of natural resources, agricultural j production, industrial undertakings and tourist truvel andtrade. with a ' dew to interesting capital and Indue- ing settlement. The session saw ful- illment of Government plans In this regard, the large amount of approx- | imately nino million dollars being appropriated for road betterments and extensions by authorization of a loan ; repayable, both as lo interest and principal, by levies upon road users in the related forms of motor vehicle fees and gasoline tax. Stimulation oftbe fishing industry and conservation of tlie vanishing salmon have been provided for by arrangements entered into between the Dominion und the neighbor republic or a conference out of which it is loped that lusting benefits to this idusiry will accrue. Determent uf Public Schools Act A survey of tbe provisions of the 'axatlon Act and associate legisla- .ion has been Initiated with the object if more equitably apportioning aud llstrlbuting the Incidences of taxation and providing at the earliest possible Ljte for ireductlon of charges upon ■itizens and industries that, largely hrough past extravagances and un- ciontliic methods of government, have jrown over-onerous. Immediate amendment of the Succession Act, extension of development assistance to iron ind steel Industries, bettermets of the Game Act. of mining legislation and nf the Public Schools Act all are accomplishments of the irecenl session, in strict and early redemption ot preelection Conservative promises, do- nonstratlng sincerely in the government and party and making for fm- througbout the | proved condition; province. All tbe important matters that have been referred to were found specially dealt with in the Speech from the Throne with which the late session was inaugurated. That document thtta became once again ami constitutionally an Informative advance program of legislative business such as Conservative whlleln opposition so staunchly had urged a Speech from the Throne should be. Going further, the now government, although it had then had but llttlu time to adjust itself to its new aud heavy reaponsibiliies, was ready at the opening with public legislation* sufficient to fully occupy tho attention of members from the outset; and no attempt was made lo restrict discussion or unduly delay the Introduction of important ministerial measures so that ihey might be railroaded into tlie ilatute book with Inadequate consider) aiioii by a wearied assembly. Conservative Progress Lived Dp To It will thus be seen that tbe major factors of Conservaive oritlclsm while the party was in opposition and Conservative promises upon which tho party achieved power have been equally and honestly lived up to from tiio moment opportunity presented! for such proof of party sincerity. To deal more particularly with accomplishments of the just-ended session, it was essentially ami para- mountly ono of business. It also was one of maintained decorum and dignity, in very agreeable contrast with sessions that have gone before. Leaving aside the many amending bills that are each session found necessary and which affect the details of administration rather than principle s of government, five or six major measures of the lately ended session may he referred to that, while of very considerable importance, obtained comparatively little publicity because they were In the main non-contentious In their obvious public advantage. Revision of School Taxation Hon. M. Hlnchllffe i'i bis amendments to the Public Schools Act thus cleared the way for a complete revision at an early date of tbe entire system of school taxation, with move equitable adjustments, of which tbe public has long felt the growing,.need. Reconstruction of the Provincial Game Act predeoates a more workable organization with saner regulations and more effectual capitalization of the Came asset, .stimulation of tbe fur industry and creation of a now and important accessory to farm life' that will be of present and growing financial advantage to rural residents .ami at the same time benefit urban dwellers'!

Another minor change of fiscal policy that will he widely approved Is that under which the government has 1 lade Mothers' pensions and BtfttUtorj hospital grants hereafter payable di liy from the Consolidated revenues system already has two paciflc terrain-1 als, at Vancouver and Prince Rupert. The physiography of the northern bin-1 terland precludes tbe possibility of i much resourceful territory being ado- | quately served by branch lines from either of the existing systems, it is therefore but in the natural course of national and of provincial development by transportation artetres that In years to come an extension on from ' Fort Graham will give contact with : the Edmonton, punvogan and British Columbia road and this in Its turn I with the Canadian Pacific's air line ■■ to Chicago. This would enable con-1 ' neotion lo be made by direct rail not i 1 only between tho parent United States and Its territory Alaska, but also between Oriental ports ami Bastor i America with considerable tlmo-sav- ings.

Of other legislation of the recent session, the. act amending the Produce Marketing measure, which tightens up the original statute without in tho least affecting its underlying principle, was permitted to pass without objection, a previous legislation having accepted the involved principle, albeit tb.it still is of questionable soundness.

Among tho qtjestlonti pressing for solution when the government assumed office w.ia that of control of the servlcos and rates of power companies, which Issue produced a orlsla when Orand ■Fa'rks City' uml G-ranby Company appealed against a schedule of rates promulgated by the West Kootenay Light &■ Power Company. It then was fomd ihat the statutory powers of the Water Hoard did not enable that body io adjudicate; and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, taking alarm, at once pressed the government to re-establish a public utilities tribunal that should control and regulate all mjjur utilities and their relations with communities by Ihem served. Past cxperelnce In British Columbia with such suggested utilities control strongly emphasized the necessity o! proceeding In such a direction with extremest caution. The government consequently has not gone so far as requested. It has not set up the desired now machinery of control. It has, however, enlarged the powers of the Water Board to enable that competent liod. to take such controlling action as for th- time-boing seems necessary and desirable In the public Interest. Obviously this must be a temporary arrangement, but It would seem thc best procedure possible until the important subject Is studied with especial care from Its various angles, and permanent legislation thereafter devised that Will effectually and equitably protect the public Interests without prejudicially affecting large and useful private enterprises. Milk IrfvWntinn As to Milk legislation, affecting more directly and particularly tbe southern mainland, wherein Is the major population unit of the province, considerable differences of opinion oven yet obtain. Ostensibly the object of lhe legislation upon which attention focused toward Uie session's end Is to provide an equitable distribution of inevitable profit reductions through utilization of surplus milk unabsorbed by tbe market for liquid use, conversions of such Hurplua into butter ,cheeso, condensed aad powder ed product entailing perforce a reduced margin of legitimate gain for the producers. Tho measure as It passed the House toward the possibility of monopolistic use, and the fear is nroused among Vancouver consumers principally that such control of basic rood necessity may prelude higher prices to consumers. At the same time the contention Is stressed by Independent producers that restriction of private enterprise is Unsound economics. Hiii inasmuch as ihe operation of this staunchly debated measure is deferred for a further twelve months il is hoped and perhaps not without reason expected that a better under- i standing of the situation In all Us phases may !*• readied nieuwhile, with j the security in the Interim thut the j Act is not to become effective until [ the status of the case pro and con j can be yet more thoroughly studied. I Among outstanding bills given the ' force of law during tho just-ended '■ session which are of speclul and local ! rather than of general and provin- ! cial character and concern, the Sumas i relief measure provoked less contro- i versey than might perhaps have been : anticipated, the chief ground for such 1 criticism as developed being that spec- . ulatora might possibly be benefitted , at tho cost of the taxpayers, and this • being generally regarded as something of specloua special plea In adverse comment.

PART III Before the Hanhedrln and Pilate The story thus far: Jesus the Healer of Nazareth casta out the seven devils from Mary Magdalene, and heals on Sabbath Eve a little blind child, causing the Pharisees to murmur. He re stores the dead Lazarus to life. Jesus casts the money changers out of the Temple. Satan tempts Christ and Judas tries to place the royal crown on His head. Jesus refuses the temporal sovereln- ty, saying: "My Kingdom la not of this world!" Judas bargain* with Calaphas to betray Jesus for Thirty Pieces of Silver. At the Last Supper the L#ord divines ihe treachery of JudaH. Judas leads the Levltes to the Garden ol Gethacmane, where Jesus is captured by the Temple soldiery. Jesus was indicted for sacrilege und Torah violation before thc Stuihedrln or Council of Elders. Calaphas, tho High Priest, acted both as prosecutor and judge. The hate of the hiersrch against Him who had attacked His Temple perquisites was deadly. The only disciples who had dared go as far as the House of Calaphas, following their MaBter, were Poter and John. And Peter, warming his chilled body at the brazier in the High Priest's court and fearing his own safety In that hostile place, had thrice denied to the domestics that he knew the Lord The Cock crowed thrice The crime for which the Council ad- Judged Jesus deserving of death was blasphemy. "Art Thou the Son of God?" Calaphas demanded. "Ye say I am!" was the answer. What a meeting when the bound Jesu3 was brought before the Roman by the gloating High Priest Calaphas. The Strongest Man, bound, was physically weakest. Pilate, face to face, with Him, quickly sensed Power. -No Fault In This Man" "I find no fault In this Man," he told Caiaphas, who had been insisting that this so-called "King of Jews" threatened Rome. "Therefore I will chastise Him and let Him go!" , . . . Calaphas was desperate. His priestly vestments shook with fury as he whispered his sycophants to bribe rogues to cry for death of Jesus. "Full well thou knowest," he said "we have a Law, and by our Law He ought to die—because He hath made Himself the Son of God!" But Pilate waved Caiaphas bac<t. He had thought of an expedient that might appease the mob spirit outsid» the gates, howling for its victim. ''Go, bring Jesus and Barebbas!" he commanded. When the outlaw Robber and the Prisoner "would have made Himsel! KiiiK of the Jews," "We have no king but Caesar," unanswered Calaphas. ''Death to this Usurper!" Pilate clenched bis hands in despair Meantime the Mob Beast spoke, nor would it be balked of its prey. That sea of faces was distorted by passion and hate. The few supporters of Jesus had all been driven away. The Governor asked a servant *o fetch water. He dipped his hands In the basin, then washed each hand with the other. "I am innocent of the blood of this righteous Mnn." he announced solemnly. "See ye to it!"

G. B. KINNEY. A monster black bear weighing over •tOO pounds that stalked upright through ihe woods seeking what or whom it mighl devour and which had no forepaws, has Just been trapped in New Brunswick, accoring to Dave Ogilvy, well-known guide and outfitter.

It,, and waa caught by means of a trap hidden under dead leaves and some old paint tins. Examination of thc body showed that hi* forefeet were crippled, either by deformity at birth or by an accident, and thnt it must have walked about on its hind feet. Only tracks of the rear paws had been found, and considerable mystery existed as to the maurader. Seymour Traffon and Jock Ogilvy caught the bear, whose skin measured over seven feet in length. Yes?

To what extent this Is a practcal danger depends upon theamount of tuberculosis Hint oxista amongst cattle, because upon that figure would depend the chances of exposure of children to infection Ina recent number of the Canadian Public Health Journal, there appeared an article on the Prevalence und Extent ot Bovine Tuberculosis in Canada. This article presented a summary ot the (rata collecisd through corlain measures which revealed the presence or absence of tuberculosis in some six million cattle, during a number of years, from various sources throughout tho Dominion. Tlie conclusion reads: "lt would, therefore, appear to be Justifiable to estimate that bovine tuberculosis Infection in Canada. at the present time does not excee'l live per cent." The actual percentage based on the six million cattle, was approximately four per cent. It is evident that if approximately nearly four out of every hundred cattle have tuberculosis, there is a very real danger lu the transmission of bovine tuberculosis to children in this country It is not theroretlcal danger, but a practical one thnt con llnues day by day. ; Mr. J, II H.
