A better knowledge > of (lie hoards, Alberni being used to grass courts, favored the home club and Ihey run out final winners by a score of 12 matches to 3.

Young Dixon had on Wednesday evening arrived at Ladysmith on u visit to his brother, .Mr. George II. Dixon whurllnger and yesterday morning uccompnnied his brother to the wharf where he was entering ou his day's work. Taking leave of bis brother he started back to the cily, w. "ig along the track apparently lost in thought as his hend was lowered anil he was ou a clen - track when seen by the train crew of a string of cars whicli was being slowlj backed onto tbe wharf. While thirty feet away he raised his head nnd saw the train but when it was utmost opposite where hu wus walking he for some reason stepped directly in front of the can and was run over by the heavy empty, death being instantaneous. His neck was broken and his shoulder blndly crushed. I saw it a deserted city, so Tar as poli- i ticians were concerned, the last of j whom left the interior city on Sun- [ day last, the day nfter the memorable election, wherein Premier John 01- I lver was returned over Mr. Harry Houston by (he handsome majority I of 338.

Ontario Team Defeats Tourists The Gideon Hicks Concert Party on their summer tour of Vancouver Island gave a concert in the llo-llo Theatre on Wednesday, which was very poorly attended. The failure of a company of artistic singers to draw a crowd at the Ilo-Ilo, simply brings home the fact that it is difficult to do business without advertising extensively. The company of artists appearing here on Wednesday last are the most charming and versatile singers to appear in Cumberland in a long, long time, yet they sang to vacant chairs. The concert was Indeed a rare treat for lovers of high class music. Mr. Claude Anstend showing marked Improvement since his last appearance here. Miss Dorothy Hicks won the hearts of her audience by her sweet and charming voice and manner, which will assure n great future. Miss Ida New posseses a deep and lull contralto voice and with more study will win herself a place in the musical world. Mr. Gideon Hicks needs no introduction to the lovers of the best In music, who ranks as the greaelst baritone in Canada. Mrs. Clifford Wain as accompanist, as usual, was perfect In every respect. After the | concert the party adjourned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. It. Stevens, i where light refreshments were served. Solos were rendered by Miss D. Hicks, Mr. Gideon Hicks and violin selections by Miss Marjorie Stevens. The City of Nelson has been, for about ten days, a city amidst grenl excitement.

"Old Timers" Put Up Great Fight Sunday Old Father Time, present ut Inst Sunday's ball game, to ring down tlie curtain on the 1924 baseball season, received a rude shock. He frowned nearly all through the game and no wonder! Those old ball tassel's whom Dad Time had earmarked as "through" as far as baseball Is concerned galloped In open defiance on the ball park, gave the senior aggregation a severe fright and had hanl luck to lose 18-10. A substantial crowd of the fans were present to look over the "has-beens" and at (lie same time witness the last game on the local grounds this season. Everybody was out for a good time and they certainly got it. Four Pitchers I'sed "Coal Oil" Johnny Stant hurled an Invincible game until the end of the fifth frame when the senior team touched him up a bit.

The first preliminary was two 2- niinute rounds between L. Larson and D. Stewart, and the second, three 3- minute rounds between J. McKay and T. Ferguson. Both these bouts were very even, the judges djecluring :i draw In both cases. The main event between two local boys, Wade McLauchlin aud Charlie Tweedle, was a "hum-dlngcr."

The first, second. fourth and fifth rounds went tn McLauchlin, while the third round was declared even.

Revelstoke Settler Says Alberta Farmers Clothes Are Flour Bags Miss W. Miller Died Saturday LONDON,—The attention of the Canadian High Commissioner's office has been drawn to the fact that while the Canadian Government is attempting to attract settlers, others who have already settled in Canada are writing British newspapers discouraging reports of conditions and prospects there. One writer in a letter from Revelstoke, B.C., affirms that Alberta farmers are reduced to wealing flour bags in lieu of orthodox garments. "Apart from stch Inaccuracies.' says an official of the High Commissioner's office, "writers of letters to newspapers studiously avoid such facts as last year's record harvest and Ihe equally striking immigration returns. Unfortunately those who succeed rarely think of backing Ottawa's efforts by writing to thc British press about their success. Tliey leave the letter-writing to others who, while grumbling, still find Canadu a desirable country to live In."

C. EDWARD W. BICKLE SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1924. THE LOUD GIRL BUY AT HOME It is just as much in the interests ot* this community for business men to Imve tlieir printing done by their local printer, as it is for residents of this district to patronize their local business men. Those who fail to support their home newspaper can- nut logically complain about the inroads of the mall order house. NOWS THE TIME IfurliiK the past few weeks we have come across a number of men out of: work, because tliey are looking for something that does not exist—looking for n soft job. The unemployed off the pay roll is no menace as compared with the unemployed on the pay roll, it is hard for some men to understand thai the war is over and the real battle for success is again at hand. Looking for an easy berth, or u better job in the next town, is like looking for a guyastlcutus. There is no such animal. Right In tlie midst of the dull, be- tween-seasons period, we know several men who were then making the biggest strides toward success tliey have ever made. They have paid no attention to the complaining (if the growlers and chronic seekers for soft snaps. They nre pitching in and earning the confidence of the management by the right kind of co-operation and tlie best kind of service. In a time like this, the man that has in his heart the disposition to be dependable, and in his head the ambition to he successful, has a more favorable season in which to become a conspicuous example in success than when we were crazy with cash and insane with the idea of spending it. Scarcely anything is more attrac live in a woman than a sweet well modulated voice. She may be intelligent, educated and beautiful, but if she speak in a loud voice, we instinctively feel that there is a lack of natural refinement or thorough good breeding, or that unfortunate manners have led her beyond real ladylike demeanor. Let young girls remember that loud talking and laughing in public places is Indicative of want of refinement and good hqme training; that it brings upon them criticism which, though uot unnatural, is often unjust, lor many really modest girls unknowingly form the bad habil of using a loud tone of voice, and of laughing not only too loud hut too much. It is not easy to overcome an unconscious fault, but much can be done to correct this one hy thoughtfulnes* 1 iu regard to one's own deportment, and by noticing well the demeanor of others, The best way to utilize tbe ' ratlings of others is to correct similar ones in ourselves. Gossiping about the defects which are conspicuous iu our neighbors does not remedy them, . it only blemishes our own characters. Nature does not bestow her gifts alike; but eveu if there is any natural imperfection much may be done in early life to cultivate that sweet and pleasant, voice which is always a charm in woman, (jirls, watch you; ■ selves a little. Learn to .speak gently Do not let impatience, anger, or any impetuous feeling so rule you that you lose the power to keep your voice In th eright key and under proper control. In these days, when so much freedom is given you in regard to education and pursuits, do not let it be said that our young girls are losing any of the lovely graces tbat rightfully belong to true womanhood. and the father called her "Wild." A Wild Rose, theu, she was to all, the sweetest flower that bloomed and grew on breezy hill, in woody dell, midst daisies kissed by dew. The years were numbered one by one, with much of ill and much of good, until our Wild Rose, fresh and fair, blushed into womanhood. And then there came the clouds of circumstances, tho murky fog of actual life, and she was wed—her husband's name was Hogg. ■ iiiiiiiiiiiiiiu "M Sidelights on a Great Industry ■■■■■■■■■■■■ill Specials for TOPS ALL PREVIOUS ESTIMATES PAYROLL OK POKES'!

A speech, no matter how flowery and eloquent, enters the ear. and like a homeles.; tramp walks sluggishly down the byways of memory, knocks at tbe door of the heart, is refused admittance and lies on the way to the graveyard of forgetfulness. But a song like "Silver Threads Among the Gold" comes slipping along, with her apron full of flowers, jumps into the pathway of memory, throws roses right and left, and kisses to the birds, until she grows weary with her frolic with human nature, theu passes in front of the mansion of things to be remembered and knocks at the door of the heart, goes in and lives there. "Home Sweet Home" will live long after the most powerful) gifted and eloquent speech ever uttered by the lips of man has been buried in tbe minds of men, aud forgotten. PUT ON YOUR MUZZLE What a glorious place this town would be if no one of us ever said an unkind word. No more scolding, nagging or bearing false witness. Did you ever stop to think how many neighborhood quarrels have started from the hasty word? How many family differences have had their be ginnings iu scolding aud nagging? A group of so-called friends will be together and suddenly someone drops a word of criticism about an absent one. In a few minutes they are all off like a pack of dogs, snapping and snarling. Their muzzles are oft and they all take a bite at the under dog. He is criticized as a tightwad when perhaps no one know? the financial burdens he is hearing. It is so easy to say unkind things about the one who is not present to defend himself. Then a talebearer carries the criticism, a coolness thai grows into an estrangement follows and another friend is lost . Put on your muzzle and keep the unruly member between your teeth. In that way you will avoid being misquoted aud misunderstood and you will keep your friends . Recent official investigations show that the industrial payroll ot the Forest Industries of British Columbia for 1923 was far greater than the original estimate. It has now been ascertained that, the sum actually paid out in wages last year to the workers in the woods, in lumber manufacturing and re-mau- ufacturlng plants and in pulp aud paper mills exceeded the truly htcred ible sum of $r>(i,:miUMH). It must be remembered that thi? figure does not include wage pay- ments to office and administrative stuffs and to persons employed iu tha sale and distribution of the finished article, nor doen it take into account the transportation forces exclusively engaged iu handling the product on'. Sj= land and water. $00,000,000 Distributed When all these are included it ia safe to assert that in 1923 the amount of money disbursed in wages by tho Forest Industries of B.C. approximated to $60,000,000. Every day fresh evidence comes to hand demonstrating the extent lo which British Columbia is dependent on tbe unhampered working of its great basic industry. Some idea of the magnitude of tho lumbermen's payroll may he gathered from the fact that in 1923 it was more than three times as great as the total revenue of the province.

However, Buck Gibson fell for "IJed's" wicked slants and immediately proceeded to tether that young gentleman's angora outside the diamond by enacting startling movements very much like those of an Ingersoll timepiece and yet resem bling those of a snake charmer. "Red" fell in the fifth inning and Dave Hunden replaced him. The Old Timers did not score off Dave. •Coal Oil" Has a Floater The Old Timers had tough luck. They had five runs scored ngain.;! them with two mun out, tliey failed to hit in pinches and a couple of the boys threw their arms away before the game when they were warming up. Then Stant blew up and he waa their big bet. The senior boys say his floater wafted across the plate so slowly they could read "Spalding' and count the stitches on the hall as It went by. And again "Bumpy" Gordon and Stanly Lawrence could freeze onto the fast grounders but couldn't arch them across to first base. Bumpy nearly knocked a board out of thc right field fence behind first base aud scattered a few of the rail birds in one attempt. "Buck" Gibson had tough luck in his attempted oue hand ed spear in centre fleld. Buck, tht Nick Altrock of baseball here has tlie same Nick cheated three different ways when it comes to a comedy.

Is true fame Is but a bubble and reputation but a shadow but last Sunday's game was sufficient to convince us there were some real fast ball players among the "Old Boys". Solo fielding honors must be awarded to Stan. Lawrence on the hot corner. He made a couple of errors but, mister, that grand one hand spear of "Mug- gins' " sizzling liner was alone worth the money. Bumpy Gordon out at short stop looked and acted as natural as a big leaguer. On the Initial sack Seymour Abrams stretched a lone greedy right hand and even scrambled hack to thc sack on hands and knees and ball in hand in a grand efl'ort to beat out delinquent pegs over his way. These boys In particular looked the most active in the fleld although we must not overlook a nice natural catch Georgie Richardson made in the first frame. Ab In the fielding department the Old Timers led in the individual totting honors. Tommy Robertson came up from Courtenay and he was on no fool's errand. He brought ancient memories back when he connected with four singles In four trips to the plate. Ting Bono and the veteran umpire Joe Horbury marshalled the boys on the diamond, calling them the right way at the right time.

Beginning in August each year and in some years flowing constantly forward until August of the following year, this everlasting river of wheat is Western Canada's contribution to the feeding of the civilized world. In thc movement of this crop from the country elevators and loading platforms of the Prairie Provinces, the Canadian National Railways year by year are playing a more important part. Long before the weBtern farmer has finished his seeding In the spring, preparations have been he- gun by the railways to move his crop. Cars must be ordered, foi each year more equipment is needed for the movement of the grain; othei cars, which have been in service, must be brought into the repair yards and overhauled or rebuilt according to their needs, for thc movement of grain is a strenuous work and grain cars show the effects of a season's haulage. And, since cars could not move forward without mo. tive power, new locomotives of immense hauling power are necessary and must be ordered, while thoso which have already seen service in this strenuous work must also be of the company through the western region, compile a report on the loadings and movements of grain cars at the close of each day. These reports are telegraphed to Winnipeg where, with advices from the lake, head and Vancouver, they are assimilated. Hence, with one single report simply compiled, the entire Canadian National lines in the Western region almost continually, and that every movement of these cars must be checked in order thst there shall be no confusion or delay in their handling, the enormity of the work of handling the grain movement may easily be realized. And to handle over 175,000 cars of grain being prepared harvest work, in this, Farmers' Grain at Line Elevators for the rush of the grain situation is shown for the Constant vigilance every other great movement, is the price of safety and nothing is left undone to ensure that the movement forward shall bc rapid, even, and unhampered. An important department, whose work is little seen outside of railway circles, is the Car Service Department, whose eye is watching night and day to see that grain cars are properly distributed and that once loaded, they move forward rapidly to the lake or ocean port from which further shipment is to take place. During thc grain rush each fall the Car Service officials meet a difficult situation, for instead of an even balance of haul back and forth through the west, there is an over- preceding day throughout Western Canada. Figures for previous years are also kept on record with the reports as they come in and at any time comparisons may be made to show the progress over ALBERTA GRAIN Lake Carrier Loading at Terminal brought in to the huge repair shops and overhauled and made ready. Nor is this all. In preparation for the movement of heavy trains loaded with wheat and in order that there shall be no delay en route from the farmer's hands to the lake- head or to Vancouver, roadbed and other facilities must be in the best possible condition. Therefore during the summer months every foot of the track over which the grain must move is subject to careful inspection and improvement; ballasting is done wherever it may be required and nil parts of the system are keyed up to the highest pitch in order that no hitch may occur in the movement of the crop. Weeks before the crop itself he- gins to move, there is another movement under way which hns an important bearing on the steady flow of grain to the markets of the world, und this is the gradual concentration of locomotives and grain cars ut strategic points on the western lines, so that they will be available for rapid distribution wherever they are needed. whelmingly large exodus from the grain fields with a proportionately small freight movement back toward the prairies. Here the Car Service Department faces the task of moving these empties back from the lake or ocean ports, to line elevators at thc lowest possible cost and it is only by wise and careful scrutiny of thc situation that it is possible for this work to be successfully carried out.s An elaborate system of tabulating the grain situation daily is operated by officials of this department. Each day through the press there appear reports on the grain movement, both on lines through the west and at the head of the lakes where ships are fast loading from terminal elevators as cars discharge their cargoes. To make this possible agent; Loading Wheat into Box Cars the same period each successive season for Ave years. When it is realized that upwards of 50,000 grain cars are on thc to the two outlets, the Great Lakes and the Pacific ports, means that train loads of grain must be kept constantly on the move, both eastbound and westbound. The growing importance of the Pacific outlet is shown by the fact that Canadian National car deliveries to Vancouver during the grain year just closed, have been almost five times as great as during the season of 1922-23, and as more facilities are provided for the handling bf the westbound shipments it is expected that the next few years will see enormous gains still being made year by year in this movement. t V*.'A: Canadian National Train of Wheat Bound for Terminal Elevators Go To The Royston Motor Co.

Recently a firm of lumber manufactures in British Columbia was mulcted to the extent of several hundred thousand dollars for damages caused by a forest Are which, starting outside their boundaries, passed across llieir limits and destroyed a soldiers' settlement. The defence claimed they were not responsible as the fire originated off their property and every effort to block it proved unavailing. The court held otherwise. Now comes a news despatch from Duncan, B.C., Intimating that settlers plan to take action claiming damages for forest fires originating in the burn ing of logging debris. This Introduces a new problem which, however, contulns possibilities not altogether favorable to tbe settler, camper, cottage owner, or other small property holder. Only a few weeks ago a California court delivered a judgment, Imposing the entire costs of tire lighting, amounting to $2,500, on a pair of amateur fishermen whose negligence had caused a difficult conflagration. It' the assessing of costs on lumber companies is adjudged good low and In the puhlic Interest, the logical development surely Is to apply the same medicine In liberal doses to those who, be they settlers, campers, fishermen, or others, recklessly destroy the timber hold- Theed Pearse BARRISTER & SOLICITOR NOTARY PUBLIC Union Bay Road, Courtenay W.

It is to be feared that the total damages listed against tlie settler) for example, will far outmatch in any season the billet doux handed to the lumberman. A few years ago a settler, clearing land by (ire in order to grow live dollars worth of potatoes, let loose destructive forces that swept away a half million dollars worth of white aud red pine. Three years ago in New Brunswick, fishermen accounted for almost half the timber loss. What about damage suits in these instance:!? What about a joint suit of provincial government and limit holders against,' say, two hundred fishing parties to I recover three million dollars worth Of ruined resources? The thing has great possibilities, ' It wouhl certainly bring home to the j public the drastic truth that forest destruction is due not to the axe but : to the ignorance and thoughtlessness { of thousands of woods travellers Let's have a docket full of law suits: The King vs. Sans Souci Campers1 Club for $850,000 worth of youmj growth destroyed by carelessness; U. j V.D. Lumber Company vs. Richard j Roe, champion bait caster, for $30,000 worth of pulp logs set afire; Tho Pulp aud Paper Workers' Union vs. John Doe. prospector, for ten weeks unemployment because of low water due to forest fires. It would make a stimulating document if we could once place the blame for forest tires nnd ask the carefree children of our Personal Liberty regime to show cause why they should not pay to the State and Industrial companies a forfeit of $15,000,000 annually.

Mr. Bowser, who had carefully kept away from Nelson and the "Citizen' campaign, refused to make any comment on the result of the election "It was absolute)' a fight without me In it." Mr. Bowser explained. "I didn't take any part in it." "But," he added. "Perhaps I should he delighted to take part in any party tight sometimes in the future if the local people should wish me to do so." Although Mr. Bowser refuses to dis cus? it, it is pretty well understood in political circles here that the scheme of running the opposition candidate tothe premier as a "citizen" candidate instead of a straight Conservative would have met with Mr. Bowser's opposition had he had any part to play in the campaign. Friends close to Mr. Bowser today said that it seemed that he was not surprised at the way the election went as it was felt that much of the old time Conservative vote in Nelson was cold to the "Citizen" appeal. Manufacturers Are Adversely Affected The serious nature of the situation created by the restoration of the Crow's Nest Pass Agreement rates on Canadian railways is evidenced by the fact that over 300 members of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association In Eastern Canada are adversely affected by the discrimination in freight rates which has resulted. In British Columbia practically all members are complaining of the adverse effect of the new rates, while even manufacturers in the Prairie Provinces are claiming that there has been dislocation of business us a result of the application of the Crow's Nest rates. Ever since the railway companies issued their new tariffs, officials of the Association bave been busily engaged iu collecting evidence proving discrimination, 'and have now on band a great deal of material bearing on the question, which will be placed before the Dominion Board of Railway Commissioners when hearings are held at Ottawa. It is contended by the CM.A. that the whole rate structure iu Canada, which was reviewed by the Board of Railway Commissioners as recently as 1022, has been destroyed by the inequalities Introduced through the restoration of the Crow's Nest rates. The necessity fo rprompt action in order to remove the unjust discriminations under which some shippers aro suffering heavy financial looses, is being strongly urged by the Association.
