COURTENAY,—A property deal of interest to Courtenalans wus consummated recently when the Builders' Supply Company of which Messrs. Edwards & Orr, are the principals, purchased a strip of river front land from Mr, Joseph IHcPhee. It is next to tlie city wharf and at that place ths purchasers will carry a most complete stock of every description of mill products. This week they received one hundred thousand feet of lumber from tbe Campbell River Saw Mill Company. It was brought to Courtenay by scosv, utilizing the Courtenay River for cheaper than rail transportation. Not only does this method of transportation give the firm cheaper cargo rates but tlle advantage thus guincd Is distributed among their patrons, because ; they all get the benefit of the low rate, i This progressive firm was organized llfteen months ugo and has made ! good from the start. Both members j of the firm are practical men and give thoir personal care to every piece of ; work executed by tlle men whom they employ. It is tlie intention of Messrs j Edwards & Orr to still further enlarge I if business warrants in tlie future and ! there is the probability that they will ! I install some modern machinery such j I as a planer and re-saw. Steadily 1 j the use of the Courtenay River ls i growing in importance and the inauguration of tills latest business on the j water front should he tiie means of | i retaining much business activity on ' the banks of the river. Vancouver Team Drop Game 8-7 Nanaimo's Band Made Tour Of Upper Island The members of tbe Nannlmo Silver Band concluded their tour of the northern portion of Vancouver Island by giving a splendid concert on the Recreation Grounds on Sunday afternoon last. The band gave a concert and dance at the Gaiety Theatre Courtenay on Friday night and on Saturday morning left for Oyster River, where the annual picnic of the Comox Logging Company was being held and for which the band had been engaged. A number of choice selections were rendered during the course of the picnic and In the evening the hand journeyed to Campbell River, where they gave an excellent concert, followed by the best dance ever held at the River. Sunday the tourists visited Bevan where they had dinner and played several selections to a large and appreciative audience. Cumberland was reached about two o'clock and shortly after three, the concert on the Recreation Grounds commenced. There wus a large crowd present who thoroughly enjoyed the program rendered by this most excellent bund. We liked best of all "A Sunday Church Parade" and Humoreske, opus nil. No 7. At the conclusion of the concert. Mr. Thomas Graham congratulated Mr. Smith, thc eminent conductor of the band, and hopes ure entertained that the people of Cumberland will have the pleasure of hearing the preni ler band of B.C. at some date In the near future. SPECIAL MEETING HELD A special meeting of the City Council on Thursday evening decided to supply the funds for the purchase of 860 feet of twenty-Inch sewer pipe at $1.50 per foot and to commence operation of removing the twelve-Inch sewer and laying the twenty-Inch at a cost of almost $2000.00; also to purchase five hundred feet of Paragon hose at $1.70 per foot from the Gutta Percha Rubber Co., for the Cumberland Volunteer Fire Department, making a total of $000.00 and to renovate and rewire the quarters of the City Police to the extent ot $250.00. a total expenditure of three thousand dollars. Wtork on the new sewer will commence at once. Umpire J. Bono's obviously raw. and what eventually proved disastrous, snap decision against Worlcy on first base in the first half of the ninth inning was the only marring feature in u closely contested game which the local nine won from the Vancouver Engineering Works 8-7. Worlcy, after being hit by pitcher Mclntyre was caught sleeping off first base hy "Red," Plump had him beat but it looked as if he never touched the base runner, but Bono called Wor- ley out. With the score 8-5 the following batter singled and then enter Sproule who lifted tiie ball over the left held fence and the score read 8-7. Here the bombastics ended with the score dangerously threatened to he even more than tied by the slugging machine from the Rainy City. Cumberland Compares Favorably A good crowd was present to witness tlle game and went home satis- lied with the boys that now grace tlie Cumberland uniforms are quite capable of holding their own with anything lu B.C., defined as amateur—as far as baseball is concerned. Errors were too prolific in the game but there were bright spots in tlie game that made up for this deficiency on the part of the players. As In the case of Bannerman and Conti, each made big league catches that were appreciated by the fans. The visitors however had the experience of discontinued on Page Six) Aged Chinaman Found Dead In Oriental Colony An aged Chinaman, Mah Woom, was found dead on Saturday last, having apparently hung himself. The deceased was last seen on Tuesday, thc 29th July and it Is surmised he hung himself that night. Deceased was burled on Saturday afternoon last. 'He had been a resident of this district for about thirty years and was about sixty years of age. City Council Will Improve Derwent Sewerage System The City Council on Monday evening took up the question of building a new twenty-inch sewer from Derwent Avenue across the railroad track also the purchase of one thousand feet of additional fire hose. 1 ln the absence of His Worship Mayor Parnham, the City Clerk reporting him ou the sick list, Aid. Alex Maxwell occupied the chair and opened the proceedings of the Council. W. H. Cope, recently appointed Cliy Clerk, read the minutes and the report of R. J. Selfe, stating that the bash in bank and accounts were all In order. The Union of Municipalities notified the Council that they would hold their annual meeting at Penticton. The Chairman of the Finance Committee reported a bank balance ot (7670.40; Savings acount $330.86; Cumberland Public Schools $2549.37. • Aid Jobn J. Potter, the Chairman «r the Board of Works, said that his department was going on as usual and that the new City Clerk called him in to look over the residence of the Chief of Police, which he found lu a very dilapidated condition and in need of repairs. The upstairs was similar to a barn, the wiring would be condemned the moment the Inspector saw it. You could not get furniture up or down the stairway— a most deplorable place, not eveu fit for a man to batch In. Aid. Mumford and Mordy also spoke of the condition of the residence. Aid. Maxwell, Chairman of the Finance Committee and acting .Mayor, said he had seen the building and the wiring should receive immediate attention. "It seems to me that these additional expenditures all turn up after our estimates are made for the /ear," remarked Aid. Maxwell. "I know the stairway is bad." "Aid. .Mordy when you talk about the stairway it means remodelling (he whole house." It was left in the hands ef the Board of Worka to send iirv report. In the meantime the Council will get a line on finance. The -New Sewer The Board of Works wanted to know what was going to be done about the new sewer and hydrants. Hose and sewers became a mixed subject for one hour and a half. The Acting Mayor said the line of sewer should be surveyed before commencing operations theu the cost of pipe came up Ior consideration. City Clerk reported 21-inch $1.50 per foot, 22-inch $1.90 per foot and 24- inch $2.30 per foot, f.o.b. Vancouver. It was said that a twenty-inch pipe would take the water from two twelve Inch pipes. The Board of Works wus instructed to engage an engineer to furnish levels for the new sewer aud the Council decided to call a special meeting on Thursday to consider the cost of sewer pipe, hose and Police residence. STRATHCONA IS BEAUTY SPOT OF CONTINENT Only Another $50,000 Needed To Make Easy Access To This Paradise Of Pleasure Seeking Tourists. This has been a banner tourist season for Comox District. Most of our visitors have hail a good time because the inducements for a visit to this part of Vancouver Island are perhaps greater than anywhere else in the Province, Here the pleasure- seeker finds fine beaches, great trout streams and lakes; and the most exciting salmon Ashing in the world. What sport is mora exhilarating than to hook a forly or fifty pound Tyee and have a ride behind him? Once experience the kick that the fisherman gets out of this sport and you will say there is nothing that gives more pleasure.

By this law, stores now (dosing at II p.m. on week days will, after Monday, close at 5.30 p.m., and on Saturday night instead of the usual 8 o'clock closing they will now shut their doors at 10 p.m. The By-Law was read for the first time tn open Council and passed its flrst reading on July 21st, 1924; was read and passed Its second and third readings on July 21st and was reconsidered, adopted and finally passed in open Council on the 4th day of August, 1924. COURTENAY,—Last Saturday the employees of the Company were the guests of the Comox Logging & Railway Company at a big picnic held ut Oyster River. It Is safe lo say that the employees attended one hundred per cent, aud tbat perhaps more people came from other parts than the camps to this big event than have attended a like event in many years. The train carried the people from the Boom Camp and stopped long enough at Courtenay to pick up those who were not fortunate enough to have thc opportunity of reaching the picnic grounds by motor car. Every preparation had been made for the enjoyment of the plcknickera and not one returned home with other than the feeling that the loggers of Comox Valley are ideal hosts. Nothing was overlooked and the children were regaled with all that goes to make an outing for them a success. There waa refreshment a plenty. Ice .crcu .soda water, cakes, confectionery and fruit were there lu abundance, the youngsters being allowed to have all they wanted. The sports program wus perhaps | thc most pretentious ever put on In the district, the prizes being of great intrinsic value, resulting in the keenest kind of competition. The contests in which the lumberjacks took part were certainly most interesting, the difference In the times of the various contestants proving that great rivalry existed for the honors. Particularly was this true of the chopping, log- bucking and splicing contests. The log rolling was also as interesting as usual, with the veteran Boh Martin a winner. A glance at the results as tubulated below will give some idea of thc great time enjoyed. It was after dark when the picnickers began to return home, some of them not calling it a day until they had taken in of the river. He was fortunate enough I to hook two beauties. In describing whal occurred he said: "One of the fish took me everywhere; up the bay, down the bay and around the bay; I never had so much tun in my life - and 1 have never seen fio many fish as are running at Campbell River this week." This Is sport on the water. There is something of public, interest that would make this district tlie greatest in Canada for tourists. li is a subject that has been talked of to some extent; and one that has been given a good deal of serious thought by the public bodies not only of the Comox Valley but of the entire island. This is the question of tli a completion of the Island Highway j lie Idle wheu another fifty thousand could make it the asset it should and would be, is not good business. Strathcona Park is admittedly one of the rare beauty spots of British Columbia, and if made accessible by tlie construction of another short stretch of road would be as popular as any other resort In America. Elk Falls, described as prettier than Niagara because of their unusual location are on the very edge of Strathcona Park. It lias mountain peaks; it has beautiful lakes; it has streams teeming with trout; it has a most luxuriant growth of trees and shrubs. Crown .Mountain, than which there is no prettier peak, is in the park. The beauties of Buttles and Campbell Lakes are into Strathcona Park. Courtenalans known far and wide. These too are are vitally interested in this road be-: in the park and if made more access- cause tlieir town is the gateway to : ible by the construction of the piece this great national playground. Al j of road advocated, would be the means ready there has beeu a quarter of a of bringing ten and perhaps twenty million dollars spent on construction J tourists where only one comes now. work ou the road and in tlie park. II ' Thc question surely deserves further would cost approximately fifty thous-1 consideration. Up.-Island Football Assn. Makes Money The annual general meeting of the Upper-Island Football Association was held in Nanaimo on Monday evening, August 4th, much iniportnm business being transacted. Secretary W. Holllday submitted his annual report, (which follows In this article). and which was received with evident satisfaction by the members. it showed a very successful season from a financial point of view.

THE UNKIND WORD CURBING CRIME AT HOME There is a certain class ol' people who lake great satisfaction in saying unpleasant things. They call this One of the "crying evils" of this age. and in the fullest meaning of that , pat expression, is Ihe freedom which j tlie youth have from all restraint of I parents. It Is almost universally true that, the children and youth nre ] allowed to go where Ihey plea.ic. when they please, with whom they please, and to read what they please. Many parents seem to think that if the children go to school and make their appearance at meal time, that is all that is necessary. They do not take time lo know what they are read- Sidelights on a Great Industrv ! _J A GREAT ASSET OF EMPIRE BRITISH COLUMBIA IS SOLE SOURCE OF SUPPLY FOR BIG TIMBERS Province's Lumber Trade Within Empire is Trebled in Eight Years peculiarity "speaking their minds" or |llgi I10r to become acquainted with "plain speaking." Sometimes they dignify it by the name of "telling thu truth." As if truths must be unpleasant in order to be true! Are , which they come in contact, grow up their companions. This is a fatal mistake. Such children may, by reason of the good Influence Willi there no lovely, charming, gracious truths In the world? And if there are, why can not people diligently tell these, making others happier for the telling, rather than hasten to proclaim all the disagreeable things they can discover? The sum of human misery li ways so much greater than the sum of human happiness that it would ap- j pear the plainest duty to add to the latter all we can, and do what lies j in our power to diminish the former. It may seem a little thing to repeat the criticism you have heard of your j friend, but if the information is unnecessary and makes hlm or her uu- happy, it is clearly an unkind and! unfriendly action. wisely and well; but it is very probable that they wiil not. It may be set down as a fact that the father or mother who Is not both anxious and , careful about the inlluonces under which tbe son or daughter lives, is \ making a grave mistake. What means | I this living on the street? What means al-1 this making a boarding house of the I ; home? What brooks it that the old I home circle with ils wholesome reading, quiet conversation and useful games, has become a thing of the past. It means an ill which neither mental culture nor smart ways nor j society manners can recompense. Let us have a revival of the old home j circle and parental authority, and crime of every grade will diminish. MOTHER'S PICNIC Tlie season of picnics is now upon us and those who delight iu piling into the old back seat of the Hemy Ford and going to the woods to eat their Sunday dinner are now in thoir glory. Now then, picnics may be fun for the men and the kiddies, but there is little joy in them for mother, who has to cook all the day before, arise early, get the breakfast, dress the children, pack the baskets and attend to all the getting-off part. Then, after the long, hot ride, during which she probably holds the baby on her lap and answers the questions of all the little ones, when the party reaches the grove, all the men go off to j enjoy themselves, but mother has to unpack the baskets and get the dialler. By the time dinner is over, the dishes scraped and the baskets repacked, it is time to go home and get supper and the mother is tired out. Verily, there's more work than fun about a picnic for mother. The resources of the British Empire are the subject of world discussion al present. No exhibit at the great Fair at Wembley is arousing more telling interest than British Columbia's fore .1 Industries' display. It has been de- i scribed by the British press as llie "Finest advertisement Canada lm.< ever had." Canada has rightly heen callod : "The Softwood Storehouse of the Empire." British Columbia may as correctly be described as Its Ilrst. la si and only stand of big constructional timber. The British Empire controls 1,666,- i 0(10,00(1 acres of timber lands, or one- | fifth of the World's growth, hut of I this about one billion acres are hardwood, whicli are less in demand than softwood in the proportion of two to five. Canada contains approximate!. 90'/r of the softwood resources of llie Empire. Approximately half of this huge stand is in British Columbia, but when it conies to the highest grades of clears and the largest dimension timber the great British Empire ir. completely dependent on the province of British Columbia. In 1923 British Columbia exported 124.000.000 feet to other portions of tlie Empire, as against 33,000,000 feet in 1916, an increase of over 37"i per cent. In eight years. There is no portion of the British Empire Willi the exception of Canada that can supply Its own softwood needs. Inter-trade with the sister Dominions will increase with tlie market extension work now being carried on by our manufacturers. It must be remembered that trails' begets trade. Every shipment abroad of British Columbia wood products furnishes an opportunity for expansion of our commerce in otlier directions.

Box 43 - Cumberland BY MOTOR AND PACK HORSE THROUGH CLOUD WONDERLAND FOR the man or woman in search of healthful recreation, rest for jaded nerves, and a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, the world offers nothing more entrancing than a holiday in Jasper National Park, Canada's wonderland of scenery, where mountain, crag and torrent vie with one another in claiming the attention and where scenic nature is at her best. Towering peaks rise to the north, south, east and west; mirrored in the beauty of placid lakes whose shores provide shelter for the myriad wild life for which the largest of all Canada's national parks is famous. Whether the tourist goes sightseeing by motor car or by the more romantic pack pony, Jasper National Park offers him the best that can be found anywhere Motor roads and pack trails radiate in every direction from Jasper Park Lodge, the magnificent log cabin hotel of the Canadian National Railways, and thc tourist may engage either ponies and guides or an automobile and thus see the mountains at his pleasure Mount Edith Cavell, named to honor the memory of Britain's heroic nurse, rises by the side of Mount Sorrow, within a short drive of the Lodge and is one of the favorite drives of visitors to the Lodge. The Cavell highway, smooth-surfaced, winds up toward the very foot of the Ghost Glacier, presenting to the visitor a new vista of scenic wonders at every turn. As one rides toward the foot of the glacier, the Athabasca Valley far beneath presents an attractive picture of calm loveliness, while here and there a lake, reflecting blue sky and sunshine, adds its touch to the beauty of the landscape. There are other drives which may be taken in comfort— one may go in an hour, for instance, to the wonderful Malignc Canyon, one of the natural wonders of the entire Rocky Mountain region, where rushing waters go tumbling and boiling through a narrow aperture worn in the rock, two hundred feet below the feet of the tourist as he or she stands on one of the footbridges which span its narrow width. At any turn of the road the visitor may And himself face to face with a bear or a deer, walking calmly across the highway, while on the sides of the mountains he may see mountain sheep or goats grazing. The tourist to whom riding appeals will find plenty to hold his attention. Pack trails may be followed for miles, when in the company of an efficient guide, one may set forth to explore regions which are beyond the reach of the motor tourist. The wondrous Maligne Lake and Medicine Lake, with their quota of mountains reaching down almost to the water's edge, draw more and more tourists every year. For years the wonders of Canada's national parks have been better known outside of Canada than they have been to Canadians, but year by year Canadians themselves are realizing that they have, in their own country, scenic attractions which are not surpassed anywhere in the world, and consequently the number of Canadians registering at Jasper Park Lodge is showing remarkable increases. Comfortable, steam-heated cabins are provided for their accommodation, an excellent cuisine is maintained at the main Lodge, where surroundings and service are of the world fameus Canadian National Railways standard and every care is taken to see that visitors to Canada's largest and finest national park enjoy their outing to the full. SENDS CHAMBER OF MINES PIGMENT ROCK WORTH MORE THAN GOLD "1 am sending you a sample of the rock which the Indian's used to paint their faces, "writes a man from Lytton to Mr, Henry Drowning, secretray of the Chamber of .Minos. Vancouver, who received the "rock" Tuesday morning. It turns out. on examination, the find is a valuable one. lt is n natural pigment used in the manufacture of paint, and If It can bc obtained In volume will prove or great commercial value. Mr. Browning says. The material Is red and feels like soapslone. Mr. Browning and other mining men who have made a stusly of geology say the samples are of the same material from which the Indians in the days when the tribes warred upon one another, used to paint hlde- I ous figures on their faces, and the more warlike Indians farther south used to paint their naked bodies before setting forth with spear and bow and arrow against rival tribes. The "paint-rock" is comparatively scarce and, according to Mr. Brown- j Ing, "if there is any great quantity 1 of the rock, it is more valuable than i a gold mine."

Vancouver Team Drop Game 8-7 (Continued From Page One) porting themselves on u mean, treacherous diamond nnd had eight mis cues charged against their fielding record. Cumberland ineidently had a half dozen bungled chances. Visitors Are Sluggers If the visitors did not impress themselves favorably on the diamond they certainly made up for this deficiency ■it the bat. They lifted two balls over the fence in the persons of Sproule and Marrow and again they sweltered "Red's" offerings for three doubles. "Hed" was lucky. Cumherland on the other hand did not hit quite so heavy but when they did hit it was in the needed pinches. Once lor example did Dan Bannerman enter to bat with the bases loaded, knocked the horsehide down towards and pnssed the centre fleld and I hus three runs crossed the rubber. Tiie latter, "Tucker" James and Oliver Harrison were the big men with the stick for Cumberland. Dave Rich- ards did everything In great shape Sunday hut left his usual brilliant whip to second in the dressing room. might stolen bases were recorded by ihe englnemen. Kncli .Scored In First The Engineers scored a run in the first inning, Cumberland retaliating with two runs. The visitors hy virtue of a home-run, double aud single in the second inning chalked up three more in the second. They held the lead until the fourth inning when Cumberland scored six runa and jumped into the lead 8-4. Three free passes to first, a couple of sacrifice hits, two singles and a double told thai particular tale. Cumberland never scored after tlmt inning making the score board read 8-5. Chapman replaced Robinson in the the box in the last of the seventh. The enginemeu rallied in the ninth and pushed two more runs, a single aided by a homer, making the final score 8-7. They Were Siitislied Immediately after the game Umpire Bonn admitted his error in judgment in his call of tbe last Inning whicli was good enough for the visiting hoys who proved themselves excellent sports when they accepted it with such good grace. The home team gave them a good send off after the game and they left with a good impression of Cumberland and the hope they will have the privilege of meeting the home team in Vancouver possibly this year.

New York mining engineer, and a professor of mining and metallurgy in Yale University, Canada is now third, Africa ranking lirst However, according to Mr. Huntoon, Canada's mil put is increasing rapidly while In the United Stales since 1915 thero bas been a rapid decline. Among the provinces, British Columbia ranks first, Ihe Canadian Yukon second and Ontario (bird. "Few appreciate," says Mr. Huntoon, "the Importance of Ihe recent gold discoveries in Ontario, the present output from that province, and the expiation and development work whicli are in progress in both Ontario ami Quebec in search of, and opening up, new deposits:" lie also pointed out that it was a remarkable fact in regard to theso recently developed gold fields that they can be reached by Canadian National trains within less than twenty-four hours' ride from Toronto or Montreal. NEW SALT DEPOSIT IS DISCOVERED A salt deposit at Kwinitsa. on the Canadian National Railways *»4 miles east of Prince Rupert, is attracting attention, as it is the only known salt deposit ou the Pacific Coast of Canada. A Prince Rupert company has taken up 14 claims, comprising about 7iii) acres. Au analysis of the brine brought up by pumps shows 06.63 sodium chloride, comparing favorably with well-known salts from different parts of the world. The railway passes through the property, and there is a deep-water boat lauding on the Slcecna river iu front of it. BOUNDARY MARKED One of tlie features of the Alpine camp which has been held this year at tlie foot of Mount Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, was the unveiling on the summit of Robson pass of a monument marking the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia.

The spot | chosen was a tiny bay known as Log Bay situated on the east coast of this island and opposite Hornby Island wharf. We were transported by a launch owned by brothers of one of the party to the selected camping ground. Fishing lines were put out when going around Yellow Rock with tbe result lhat two line fish were hauled in, a nice salmon und a huge cod, which later on found their way inlo Ihe Trying pan aud saucepan respectively fur dinner. After reaching camp the afternoon was spent In arranging our plentiful supply of food siufl's und utensils iu camp for convenience and cleanliness also. A row hunt for our use hull to be procured. We ull slept In the open sheltered only by (lie spreading brunches ot a sturdy lir. Next morning heart-rending stories were told of a night spent lu agony on unaccountably hard bumps on the ground and some vowed they were ihe victims of hed sores as big as saucers. We set to work with a vengeance and with armfuls of moss und ferns made beds that enticed Ihe liveliest of us into llie arms of Morpheus and into a land of the sweetest slumber until aroused by the early pull-pull* of a motor launch guided by the hands of ambitious fishermen. The remainder of that day und the ensuing days were spent with fishing, swimming and hilling. Plenty of magazines and nuvels passed away any lull in our activities. One and all took turns preparing our meals and it was joy ull ui its own to satisly wonderful appetlties whetted by the sea air and exercise. A dip before breakfast was the order and then dress In the sunshine which poured into our beautiful bay al that special hour. We were lavishly supplied with fuel as the previous storms had iluug upon the bench everything in the shape ol the smallest chip to the largest pieces of log we could pile on uur camp lire. There was no drinking water just handy so we had lo row either to our nearest neighbor or to a spring near Eagle Rock after a clamber up of fifty feet up a hillside the water seeker is rewarded with ths) cool crystul liuid and a sight which only au artist cun describe. Between almost perpendicular ledges of mosii- covered rock ooze out tiny trickle's of pure sparkling water. Everywheu are clumps of beautifully tinted mall- en hair fern in great profusion which have fastened themselves to the roc. and hang gracefully downward aud wave ever so often In the breeiu which creeps in through the fall):) branches of the alders and thimble berry bushes growing higher on the cliff form a fitting canopy to complete this scene of rustic beauty. Tlie same launch which had taken us out camping kindly took us fishing several times, trips which we all enjoyed and heightened by an unexpected plunge into the wuter of several of the crowd ocassloned by the boat being almost stranded on a hidden reef. One young lady reporled that she had strained off two buttons with the strenuous work of pushing off tho boat, anyhow the buttons were missing caused either by hard work or surreptitiously cut as a joke, probably the latter. As all things must come to an end this enjoyable trip closed by some going home In a car. the rest rowing around Yellow Rock to the wharf where they disembarked. | One young damsel who owns heauii- j ful lltlau colored hnir (there were :i of this type in the party) returned j home with a complexion outvieing : her hair, but by the liberal application of creams, bleaching powders, lotions, cucumbers and witch hazel, her skin is gelling the normal appearance.
