Tills was referred to the finance committee, The question of the Soldiers' Houses was again brought up, advice of the City Solicitor having been asked about them. He was of tlie opinion that no further good could be done by writing to the Superintendent of Lunds, and suggested that the Mayor and one of the aldermen, together with the local member for Victoria, wait on the minister ot lands, to get his consent to tke new agreements. However, It was decided that the City Clerk send'a statement of affairs to Mr, .Menzies, fhe local member, soliciting his aid. This the clerk waa instructed to do.

He allowed that, as the books were, tbey were all marked and scratched and blotted due to the recent auditing and also to the manner the former City Clerk's entries. Everyone present thought It would be money well spent and consequently Mr. Merry was ordered to get help us Boon as possible so as to have the MEMORIAL SERVICE IMPRESSIVE ONE The Memorial Service held at the ss. Anglican Church on Sunday morning last was a most Impressive one. The Veterans and Boy Scouts met at the G. W. V. A. hall at 10:30, parading to the church for service at 10:45. Many wreaths were carried, and after the first hymn was sung, the wreaths of the Veterans, Boy Scouts, Ladies' Auxiliary of the G. W. V, 'A., congregation of the Anglican church, Mrs. J. Bruce and Mrs. Pickard were placed on the alter, the Rev. W. Leversedge offering the following prayer: "Accept, O Lord, these offerings as tokens of admiration and gratitude for the courage and devotion of our helu i men al,(' wome" wn0 %a^e themselves for us, and as pledges of our resolve to strive nobly and loyally (as they strove,) for the cause of honor." Two minutes' silence was then observed. After listening to a very eloquent and appropriate address, the parade headed by the vicar, proceeded to the Memorial Arch, where representatives from each congregation had gathered. Wreaths and crosses were placed upon the Arch, and the Rev. W. Leversedge read a poem, "The Army of the Dead" hy Barry Pain, and followed with a short paryer. On Monday last the wreaths and crosses were taken to the cemetery and placed upon the graves of those men and. women who had passed it- way since their return from over- LEAGUE GAME ON SATURDAY . Owing to both Nanaimo City and G. W. V. A. having the use of the Central Sports Grounds for their home games, and both teams having games this week it has been- .necessary to play one of the games on Saturday, and Cumberland have signified their willingness to pul their game with the G. W. V. A. on Snturday, therefore the team will Wave on Saturday morn. Ing nt the usual time, 8:30. While the G. W. V. A. do not stand very high In the league they still have a well balanced eleven and have played some real hard contests and were very unfortunate In not being in the win column oftener than they have been. It was only a few weeks ago that they forced the locals for fully eighty minutes hard play before they yielded to the attack of the forwards and were beaten by the odd goal. They are also the only team with the exception of Cumberland to take the measure of the Ladysmith crew, which is an afternoon work for any team to accomplish. The team selected by the management Is the same as last woek which sprung such a surprise on the lively Davenports and buried them under an avalanche of goals. However, they are .always looking for n hard game from the more experienced Vets and have been out in full force train Ing this week and as Harry Jackson reports all players in Al shape a lively encounter is anticipated, which should give the paid attendance a full hour and a half of lively soccer.

LOCALS SCORE FLOCK OF GOALS CORRESPONDENCE Last Sunday Cumberland United met the Davenports on the Crickcl grounds and gave them one of.the worst beatings they have received for some time. As was expected a large crowd turned out to see the game, considering that the day was anything but favorable for cither spectators or players, as a cold rain began to fall ns the game commenced, making the long grass very miserable to play in. both teams having a hard time to keep their feet and many mlskicks were made. Thc locals took the gome right from the kick-off and only nbout two minutes had elapsed when Graham thc Cumberland centre forward, made an opening and passed to Turner who made no mistake, placing the ball well out of the gonlie's reach for the opening counter. The next twenty minutes snw play of a give and take nature, both goals being visited in turn, with the Davenports throwing every ounce of energy into the irttock. On one of these occasions the defence work done by December 15th, the date I blocked two drives for goal when Stew ot the closing of thc books. " art, then Conti blocked what looked Courtenay, Noveftibor 14, 1923 The Editor, Cumberland Islander Dear Sir, Will you allow me through tho medium of your paper to thank each of the members of the Cumberland City Band for so kindly coming to Courtenay on Sunday last, Armistice Day, and playing at the Service. I would particularly like to mention the name ot Mr. Murdock, as ho has on many occasions! no doubt at great Inconvenience to himself, come to Courtenay to tnke,part In similar ceremonies. I would also like to compliment Mr. j Murdock and his Band on tho very good music rendered. Yours faithfully, G. Robert Bates, ' Pres. Courtenay Branch. G.W.V.A. Mayor Parnham then declared the meeting adjourned, seeing thore wns no further business. like dangerous shots. Finally their efforts were rewarded when the centre made a nice run down the field and scored. This reverse seemed to wake up Cumberland who carried the hall to the Davenports goal only to receive a corner. Bniinerinnii took the kick and Turner ngain bent the goolle with n nice header. The teams played mid field hall until half time. Tho second half started with Cumberland having the better of exchanges and nfter about twenty minutes play Turner scored his third goal. The Davenports now changed their tnctlcs and put everything into the attack in hope of reducing the lend only to have thc defence send the ball over their hend, and Graham, carry, ing the ball down added another. The crowd who had hoped that llie Davenports would be able to earn a draw when they got thc Cumberland team on a grassy pitch began their exit, while Graham repeated at about five minute intervals witli two more goals. The gome ending in a 6—1 victory for the locals who are again at the top of the league. Games for this week end will ho played as follows: O. W. V. A. vs Cumberland; Nunnlmo City vs Ladysmith; Northfield vs Davenports; (On tho grounds ot the last named Club.) Fear that the Provincial Government's development schemes muy cost far more than was originally intended wus expressed in the Legislature yesterday by Thomas Menzies, Independent member for Comox, In a vigorous speech. He criticise the Os- oyoos reclamation project, remarking that when half completed the enterprise had cost $2,500,000 and before it was finished from $4,000,000 to $6, 000,000 would have been spent. He expressed fear over the outcome of the Sumus project, remarking that reportB were current that millions of dollars had been squandered and tbe Government would be asked to bear part of the cost. Mr. Menzies wondered why such projects were not carried out by the Public Works Department. Hon. E. D. Barrow, Minister of Ag- riculture, Informed him that the stat. utory regulations placed Sumas under' control of the Land Settlement Board, i Mr. Menzies replied that this might be because Sumas was in Chilllwack District, .Mr. Barrow's constituency. The Comox Member said there was j too much overlapping in the holding of Fall Fairs and the judges received too much money. He spoke of logging operations and I the report that 30 per cent, ot the logs cut were left to rot in the woods. He asked what steps had been taken to | stop this. Mr. Menzies said American lumber interests were handling British Columbia timber and these people were laughing at this Province and wondering why "we are so slow; and we are slow," he affirmed. He urged the Government to take action to stop this traffic* in British Columbia logs. Coal mining appeared to be the one branch of mining not mentioned iu the speech from the throne as being in a flourishing condition, Mr. Menzies remarked. "1 believe some coal mines have watered stock," he charged. "Squeeze out this water and things might be better. The Comox Member referred to the Importation of American fuel oil In competition with the British Columbia product, and advocated a heavier duty on this fuel. The mines of this. Province, he said, were ill a depressed condition now. "Half the employees in some British Columbia industries are not white" Mr. Menzies declared, quoting striking figures to show the penetration of Orientals Into industry. One-third f the grocers in Vancouver are Orientals, he said. In Ihe logging camps* vi per cent of tlie workers are Oriental.'; in lumber mills 41 per cent; in fruit canning 15 per cent; in baking 16 per cent; in pulp and paper making 37 per cent; and In fishing 30 per cent. "These figures show that the Oriental menace is more serious than many people realize and Is something which requires the earnest consideration of tliis House" he asserted. He urged the expulsion of all Orientals from mines and the enactment of more rigid protection measures. Reports had It that flrohossen In coul mines were afraid to report the presence of gas, for fear of losing their Jobs, he said. The Government should ascertain if tills was true and net accordingly. I Stlffer penalties for infractions of [ regulations should he meted out, snid I Mr Menzies, und lie advocated the I use of modern safety devices. I The speaker asked thui hunters lie ! permitted to sell deer skins, in order that much waste of good buckskin ! might be eliminated. He urged also that hotel proprlet- '. ors be permitted to servo game on their prlvnte tables. These people ' should not be treated as undesirables '■ or Gcrmuns, he snid. He concluded hy asking the Gov- i eminent to look Into conditions nt ; the Home for Incurables at Marpole. I and if arrangements had not gone loo j far, to provide a home. that would give the unfortunate Inmates the maximum of comfort. The annual masquerade of the Cumberland O. W. V. A. held In the Ilo-Ilo Hall on Monday evening last was a brilliant success. The large hall was packed to capacity, more spectators, and more masked dancers attending than at any previous masquerade held In the district. The magnificent sum of $250 was given in prizes, this no doubt being responsible for the large turnout.

Maxwell, Miss Pickettl, Messrs. D. Roy. J. Idlens, Royston, and S. Cameron, Bevan, acted as the judges, giving great satisfaction. The task was a very hard one, and at times It was extremely hard to arrive at a decision.

SHINGLES— There are many substitutes for shingles on the market today, extensively advertised and used, but we maintain that shingles are still the best roofing material and make excellent finish for outside'walls. SIDING— Proportioned with the shingles on outside walls, angle rustic siding holds first place, we think so. TAR AND BUILDING PAPER— A most necessary material for all buildings. We venture to say that it is not used as liberally as is necessary in the construction of buildings. A building of any sort requiring two- ply of lumber should always have one or two ply of paper between. It saves the fuel bill.

Two resolutions were formulated i hy members of the Board of Trade j this week and sent to the Provincial | Csovernmeiit. One dealt with the op j orations of logging trucks in this dis i trict and the otlier with the division \\ of Nannlmo County. The first resol j ution wns as follows: "Whereas the Courtenay-Comox Board of Trade are informed thnt the [ Public Works Department hns given to logging truck operators notice to cease operations in the Comox Valley unless a suflicient bond is put up to cover any possible damage to doads: Now, thcrfore this Board would respectfully point out that the logging trucks do not cause harm to roads that are in good condition and that such action will cause a great many married men and others to be put out of work tor the winter months, and therefore request that the Hon. the Minister of Public Works to permit these logging trucks to operate." The other resoution has to do with the residence of the second judge for ihe County of Nanaimo being Victoria. It requests that the dividing line for the County be north instead of south of the city of Nanaimo.

MENT On Vancouver Island, the Dominion Government and the Canadian National Railway have an invesment of j around eleven million dollars in wharves, piers and railways. When Mr. Hanna was president of the National Rnilway, he stated that the railway company would never get enough business on Vancouver Island to buy coal oil for the switch lights. Han- | na's waa the old Idea that In the railway business nothing counted but the I transcontinental haul. Thc Canadian National line on Van- I couver Island haS tributary- to it eleven billion feet or one million cars | of timber. Is that business worth go. r after and developing? Sir Henry I Thornton believes it is nnd Ile Is go- I lug after it. It will only take $350,00lKo complete I the Canadian National line to mile lot), but the Canadian peltate, In its efforts to strangle the Canadian National, has killed the appropriation to build that line. Does the Senate of Canada propose to allow the people's invesment of eleven million dollars on Vnncouver Island to remain Idle? Does the Canadian Senate want the Canadians of this generation to get the advantage of selling that eleven billion feet of timber tributary to that line hefore wood substitutes make that timber valueless? Eastern Canada has no idea of tlie enormous wealth that is today lying idle In the West and in British Col- I umbia. It tbey did know, the Canad- I Ian Senate would not dare to obstruct | the growth and development of Vancouver Island.—The Vancouver Sun. WHO IS SHE I THF.

The power of the voice is the success of the telephone. It was in the endeavor to transmit sound that the telephone was invented, and the great factor of its development into an article of very common uso is that direct conversation may be carried on. Because it enables one's personality to be sent is the reason that the telephone promotes friendships and intimacy, and brings about closer relations between those in business. The pleasure of hearing the voice you know makes long distance the casual practice of every one. British Columbia Telephone Co. Billiard and Pool Tables McPHEE BLOCK (Downstairs) COOL — LIGHT — CLEAN COME IN— LOOK AROUND BE SOCIABLE an Interesting study by the Canadian forestry Association. The basic reason for this "evicted population" is the ruin of forests on which the workers depended for their living. One community in Ontario held 5,500 people twenty years ago and the count today is 1,700. The exodus is accounted 1'or entirely by the destruction of the limber resources of the district and the inability of tlie land to attract farming population. Flourishing lumber mills and subsidiary plants have been driven away by lack of limber and were it not for the incoming of a few industries in later years the present population of 1.700 would dwlir' e to the proportions of a village. Now Brunswick furnishes illustrat. ions of the reduction of population in large areas through misuse of the forests, There Is au erroneous belief abroad, says the Canadian Forestry Association, that thc riddance of the forests has meant the arrival of the farming population. This applied iiulte generally seventy-live years ago and is true in some districts today, liut the general rule now Is that timber la growing on non-ugrlcultural ground and the destruction of a forest destroys all hope of human activity. One section of Quebec has steadily dwindled in population, villages have been closed up, farm houses abandoned because of the loss of timher and no other population can arrive until forests have grown again. a matter of at least a hundred years. H ere an dTh ere, The world's record for grain trains was shattered by the Canadian Pacific Railway on October 6th, with a monster train of 125 car loads of wheat, over a mile long, which operated between Stoughton and Areola. The contents of the cars, 185,000 bushels, weighed 5,566 tons AU grain loading records in Alberta were completely smashed by the Canadian Pacific on October 10th when the Company loaded 753 cars, representing at least 1,065,200 bushels. If these cars were placed together they would make up a freight train about six miles in length, and a baker's dozen of .these trains would extend from Calgary to Banff, a distance of 82 miles. A record in western railroad construction was established on the Canadian Pacific Lanigan-Melfort line recently, when the last mile uf track between Lanigan and Pleasant- dale was completed in one day. D. A. Livingstone, engineer in charge, reports that seventy per cent of liis crew of 25 were British harvesters. federal and Provincial Departments of Agriculture co-operated in the purchase in the British Isles of a large stock of horses, swine and sheep, including sheep owned by His Majesty the King, which arrived here recently.

Doherty, the Canadian Commissioner in the International Institute of Agriculture, estimates Canada's exportable wheat surplus this year at 300 million bushels, as against 160 millions from the United States, 110 from Argentina, 50 from Australia, and 15 from Kussia. Can- ada, In fact, may be expected to supply nearly half the wheat exports of the whole world—300. out of 675 million bushels. Ij, W. Beatty, K.C, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, speaking at important centres on his recent extensive tour through the Canadian West, sounded a note of optimism, declaring that the general improvement in Canadian busi- ness conditions- rendered an ac- companying growing pessimism entirely unjustifiable. Stressing the need for a vigorous, intensive immigration policy by the government, he put forward as suggestions that the department of immigration and colonization should Issue a general invitation through Greut Britain, the United Slates and certain Kuru- pean countries, for settlers, and that greater advantage should be taken of the favorable policies towards emigration to Canada adopted by the governments of Great Britain and other countries. .Most extraordinary yields of grain are reported from the Provincial School of Agriculture at Olds, Alberta. On a one-acre patch 105 bushels sf Marquis wheat were threshed, which is believed to be a record for this crop, exceeding the 82 bushel yield of Seager Wheeler, which was previously considered unsurpassable. From an acre seeded to oats, 206 bushels wert threshed. Barley similarly yielded exceptionally. On a field of 27 acres an average of 70 bushels to the acre was secured, whilst on another, 10 acres of a different variety, a yield of 80 bushels tss the acre was recorded. Eighty per cent of Canada's national debt is owned by Canadians.

NEXT FRIDAY AND SATURDAY— "DOWN TO THE SEA IN SHIPS" Featuring a big Whale hunt. TO nearly all Canadians the news that the buffalo, which we have been accustomed to regard as nearly extinct, have recently so increased as to necessitate the slaughter of a herd of 2,000 at the Canadian Buffalo Park, Wainwright, Alberta, will come as a very pleasant surprise. The mere existence of this surplus definitely announces that, though we will never see a large wild herd again, we yet may hope to see the prairies repopulated with numbers of buffalo, and that this magnificent animal, Monarch of tht Plains, will be always with ns. The buffalo were in their glory when the construction of the first American transcontinental railroad was begun in 1866. Herds of fifty thousand head were then common on the western plains ol this continent as far south as Utah and as tar north as Hudson's Bay, and as many as 100,000 robes were marketed annually. So easily were these obtained that whiskey-traders could purchase a robs for one cup of liquor. In 1874 the North-West Mounted Police, on trek for thc Rockies, saw several immense herds, notably near the Sweet Grass Hills, when the force marched all day through a herd of 60,000 which blackened the horizon. This roman tic scene, so vividly contrasting the wilderness and Its denizens with ths oncoming representatives of civilization, is surely a (lt subject for artists and potts. Tht work of destruction, once launched, proceeded to rapidly tbat by 1880 only vast quantities of buffalo bones and skulls remained to show that thc great herds had tv« been. The mighty half-breed hunter had fallen to collecting these skulls and hones for the sugai refineries and hone dust factories of the United States. It is worthy of note that the first easthound freight run by the Canadian Pacific Railway was loaded with such relics. The present encouraging slate of affairs is due to the foresight of thu Canadian Government, which, in 1007, purchased a small herd of buffalo In Montana and brought it over the border to form the nucleus of the 6,000 head now at Wainwright. To this wise purchase we owe the fact that the buffalo has not become merely a heraldic beast aa extinct at till, unicorn or the dodo.

JUNIORS AND RANGERS PLAY 3—3 DRAW Jtolh Tenuis Show Cbiiiiipionslilp ('Ins: Last Sunday tlie Cumberland Juniors who hold the O. B. Allan Cup met the Rangers, who were formerly known as the Bevan Juniors on the Recreatoin Grounds, and to say a good game waB played is only putting it mildly. The game which was an exhibition one, proved to be very interesting throughout and some real fine football was played by both teams. Both of these teams are ln competition for the Provincial honors this year and will no doubt play some hard battles before the winner of tbe district is proclaimed. The game on Sunday proved that both teams have got together strong elevens and with some adjusting will take some beating. On Sunday's game a draw was a good verdict, although one of the I Rangers' defenders scored a goal a-' gainst his own team. Tlie Rangers drew first blood when a penalty was awarded to them for the goalie bringing down the centre forward in the dreaded area. The Juniors uncovered oue new man from Courtenay by the name of Barry who played a good game and showed he knew where the posts were when he scored one of the goals for his team.
