FORTY-SIXTH YEAR—No. 18.' CUMBERLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1927. 5* . SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM Twenty-Five Mills To Be The Taxation RateForYearl927 COURTENAY, May 5.—Thanks to the determined efforts of the city council, the 1927 mill rate will be kept down to the same level as that of last year. Twenty-live mills was the rate set at Monday night's meeting. This was only possible by the closest cooperation between the llnnnce nnd public works committees. When It Is remembered that, owing to the necessity of a new high school building, the school rate has Jumped to sixteen and one-quarter mills, thc ratepayers may congratulate themselves in the possession of a council which* is able to keep the rate tit a stable figure. ThlB very desirable condition, however, was not arrived at without very careful consideration nnd paring of estimated expenditures, both in tke public works antl other departments. Total Rule In 25 91111s The 1927 rate Is made up as follows, school rate, lO'/i mills; water rate, 19i; general rate, 7; making a total rate of 25 mills. The by-laws recently passed by plebescite received their third reading and were finally adopted. The sale of the bond Issue in connection with debentures covering both the high school and electrical extension by-laws was left iu the hands of the mayor and city clerk who will probably call for tenders. Alderman MacDonald pointed out that the passing of the electric by-law means that work on the new line and sub-station will have to be taken In hand at onee. He proposed that the electric department be charged with the purchase price of the lot at the rear of the city hall for this purpose and that the public works department attend to the necessary clearing and fencing. New tower Hate for Creamery , Aid. MacDonald also drew attention to the serious outside competition for the local Ice and Ice cream trade and proposed that the local Creamery Association be granted an industrial electrical power rate which will enable them to meet this competition. After a good deal of discussion and with the view of protecting local industry, a special rate was set which will enable the farmers' organization to meet this outside competition. The industrial rate will be applied to the Creamery as from the first day of May. Ladysmith Now . Policed By The Provincial Force The Provincial Police force Is now In charge of Ladysmith police affairs, having taken charge on May 1st.

School Board Asks For Resignation Of Two Staff Members New Arrangement Calls For A Decrease in Staff of High And Public Schools At the request of the Board of School Trustees, Principal Apps submitted at last night's meeting a tentative re-arrangement of public school classes for next term, whereby the present staff could be reduced to 12 teachers Instead of 13, to conform with the decrease ln pupils caused by the ruling of the Department that those living on the Royston and Courtenay roads must henceforth attend the Minto School. The plan apparently met with the approval of the Board, for after considerable discussion a motion was formally passed to the effect that the present public school staff be reduced to 12 teachers and the high school staff be reduced from 3 to 2 teachers. Emobdied in the motion was a clause stating tbat the last teacher engaged in each case be asked for their resignations with the understanding that they be given the first opportunity for re-engagement in case of a vacancy. The new arrangement will take effect on tlle 30th of June, which means that after that date Miss Beatrice Bickle and Mr. L. Hardy will no longer be members of the staff, as they were the last two teachers engaged. Home for Economics (hiss Home economics and a possible permanent room for this important class will be left ln the hands of the Building Committee. It is expected that Principal Shenstone. of thc high school, will be Inteiwlewed and a proposal made to transfer the chemical equipment to the basement, leaving thc present laboratory for the use of Miss Till and her domestic science pupils. Objert to Cost of Audit Notlficntion from the city clerk that Messrs. C, II. Macintosh and J. Dick have been appointed to audit tbe school books for the year 1112" at R fee of $50. was the cause of no little argument lust night. It was stated | lhat thc fee last year was $35, and that the council, in increasing this sum by $15 was not conforming to its urging some time ago that the School Board economize as much as possible this year. This brought about u thorough discussion of the audit ill general. Trustee MacKinnon said that the audit and subsequent advertising of same was costing entirely too much money and he was of the opinion that If it were put In more concise form than hitherto the expense would bc cut almost 50 per cent. The meeting (Continued on Page Six) "Billy" Milligan. n former Cumberland soccer star, who is on lour with the All-Canudn team, was presented with a magnificent gold watch, suitably Inscribed, by his team mates of the Regina Post.

The preliminary hearing of the manslaughter charge against 16-year old Tadao Doi, Japanese schoolboy of Cumberland, was heard on Tuesday of this week at the Court House, with Magistrate T. H. Carey presiding. Dol, it will be remembered, was the driver of the Overland coach, license number 13-788, which crashed Into and fatally Injured 9-year-old Esther Logan at the foot of Boulder hill on the evening of April 17th. All the evidence adduced at the coroner's inquiry on April 19th was again given by the various witnesses with practically no additions, and new evidence from Japanese occupants of the car was submitted. The hearing came to an end at 1 o'clock ln the afternoon, and Magistrate Carey ruled that the evidence be submitted to the Attorney-General, upon whom will rest the responsibility of pressing or dropping the manslaughter charge against Dol. Bail of $2,000 was fixed —two sureties of $1000 each. Cpl. R. Matthews, who waa conducting the case for the prosecution, protested that this amount was too light, but the Magistrate did not order it to be increased. A court stenographer in the person of William Telford, of the Provincial Police, assisted materially in expediting the recording of evidence on Tuesday. When court opened, Magistrate Carey Informed Doi that he was not then on trial, but that anything he would say might be used against him if the case be taken to the Nanaimo Assizes. Engineer Submits Plan Mr. Hugh Jordan, registered civil engineer, was flrst called to the stand and submitted that he had been employed by the Provincial Government to make a plan of the section of the Royston-Cumberland road from the top of Boulder hill to a point opposite Leighton's silo, being part of Section 30, Township 11, Nelson District. Various landmarks and required measurements were plainly marked on the plan, which Mr. Jordan turned over to the court. Evidence of Dr. MacNaughton,* John Ledlngham, John Cameron, George Logan, Robert Dunslre, David Logan, Jeannie Logan, John Prldge, Margaret Whyte Prldge and Corporal Matthews was given with little or no variation from that adduced at the coroner's inquiry and printed In these columns on April 22nd. Cpl. Matthews conducted the questioning for the prosecution, and most of the witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. P. P. Harrison, who Is retained by the defense. In answer to one of Mr. Harrison's questions, John Ledlngham, a Cumberland garage proprietor, said that from personal experience he had found the brakes on the model of (Continued on Page Four) Sudden Death Of Mr. Geo. Peacock Monday Morning Mr. George Peacock, a resident of Cumberland for the past twenty years, passed away suddenly In No. 4 Mine on Monday morning last, about 3.30 o'clock. Along with his working partner, W. Robinson, deceased ceased work to eat lunch. Robinson did not notice anything unusual about his partner, but just as the pair sat down, Mr. Peacock put his hand to his heart, and dropped over dead. The deceased gentleman had suffered with his heart for some time, and lt is presumed that deaht was due to heart failure. A native of Northumberland, England, Mr. Peacock came to this country 34 years ago, residing on the Island for that length of time, about ?0 years in Cumberland and the other part of tbe time being spent in-and around Nanaimo.

The Cumberland Islander PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT CUMBERLAND, B. C. EDWARD W. BICKLE It FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1927. Talk about doing a good deed each day, which is the motto of the Boy Scouts. That fellow who bought Balto and his associates and took them out of prison and restored A GOOD DEED them to freedom certainly did a good deed. What, you never heard of Balto? Oh, yes you did but you have forgotten. It's a good story and we'll tell it to you briefly. Balto was the leader of the dog team which carried antitoxin to Nome, Alaska, two winters ago when nearly every child in the settlement was down with diphtheria. There was no serum in Nome and the children were dying like flies. The dog-sled was packed, a man was found to drive it, the antitoxin was buried under the blanket—and away they went. Mile after mile they struggled on over the * snow and ice and after five days of rough going they trotted into Nome, carrying life and hope to the huddled homes. After a short rest the dogs trekked back over the snow again and somebody bought them and put them into the cheap museums on exhibition. These dogs hated the stuffy quarters of the museums. They hated the crowds of staring people and they grew tired and sick of the shut-in-life. Then a man who loved dogs went into the museum and saw Balto and his team-mates. He bought the whole outfit and he has taken the dogs to his big ranch. He's going to let them run free all the rest of their lives. That's what we call doing a good deed—don't you? Let the Boy Scouts vote on it. Of course, you know about Stevenson's remarkable story, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," the man with two directly oposite natures in his make-up. Recently we heard of a KEEP 'EM CURBED man being tried for a brutal murder. His defense was that he could remember nothing about the cruel deed, On the witness stand he said, "If I committed the crime, it was not really I, was another person within me." The poor prisoner is probably right. We have several natures within ourselves. We frequently cannot understand after a fit of anger why we did certain things. There are days when we bubble over with kindness and generosity and there are other days when we whistle and sing and there are days when we growl and scold. We all have a good self and a bad self, a liberal self and a miserly self, a true self and a false self. But we must accept the responsibility for the behavior of our various selves. We cannot shirk responsibility by saying, "My evil nature did this or that. I am not to blame." Because it is rather difficult to hang your evil self without giving a severe shock to the rest of your being. "What's the use of worrying, it never was worth while." We would like to wage a successful war on this vicious habit of worrying that has made so many people unhappy. Nearly all WORRY worry is futile, and nearly all of it begins in a delusion of importance. As we grow older we relaize that our places are easily filled and that if we drop out, in a few months we are entirely forgotten. It is a wise man who comes to know that the burdens he carries can easily be shifted to other shoulders. Suppose that you, a private citizen without influence, worry about the government's foreign policy. Can't you see it is just as silly as it would be to worry about the course of the planets ? You have about as much influence in one case as in the other. The truth is that few of us are important enough to do any worrying. Things will go ahead in their own sweet way whether we worry or not. And to worry about things you cannot help is to lose your dignity and make yourself ridiculous—-to make yourself a small dog barking frantically at the moon. Did you ever hear of the little girl who was found crying bitterly? Her mother said, "My dear, what is the matter?" And the little lass, between sobs, apswered, "I was just thinking that some day, after I am grown up, I may have a baby and I might put her into the oven to keep warm and I might forget about her and she might burn up." There you have an expert in worrying who will grow into a very miserable and unhappy woman. Never borrow trouble. If the evil is not to come, it is useless, and so much waste; if it is to come, best keep all your strength to meet it. If you can't mend matters it is silly to worry; if you can mend matters you should go ahead and do it instead of letting anxiety sap your energy, "Say It with whiskers." This ls how Roy D'Arcy, noted villain of the screen, eays he was able to play three parts at once, which happened while he was working tn "Bardelys the Magnificent," King Vidor's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production starring John Gilbert, that cbmea to thc llo-llo theatre this Friday and Saturday. In "Bardelys the Magnificent" he wears a French van dyke, then for his role in "The Temptress," he had a short, bristly moustache, and then he changed to an Iron grey beard for a middle-aged Parisian role In "The Gay Deceiver." Eleanor Boardman plays the leading woman role. ROMANCE OF FIREMEN SHOWN IN NEW SERIAL "The Fire Fighters"—what glamor surorunds the deeds of the intrepid firemen of ull our great cities!

GLYCERINE TEARS ARE NEVER USED BY BELLE BENNETT Glycerine tears, so vital to sonic actresses, are never needed by Belle Bennett, who plays the difficult role of Odette de Maigny In "The Lily," Victor Schertfzlnger's latest release for Fox Films, which comes to the Gaiety theatre on Monday and Tuesday, May 9 and 10, and to the Ilo-Ilo on Wednesday and Thursday, May 11 and 12. ' Miss Bennett, giving the best screen portrayal of her long theatrical career, sheds genuine tears in this memorable drama. The only music she requested was "My Wonderful One," a favorite of her departed son, and "Traumerei." Once she dispensed with music entirely and threw herself Into the role of the heartbroken sister amid a silence that was awe-lnsplrlng. Her portrayal, gripping in the extreme, was all the more poignant because of stern repression. She simply shed thc tears of a broken woman. For the moment she was that woman. She lived every moment of the soul- wracking experience. "Best Dressed Man in U.S., Comedy Star The most immaculately dressed and perfectly appointed man In America today is Reginald Denny, star of "Skinner's Dress Suit," the Universal Jewel which Is the attraction at the Gaiety theatre next Friday and Saturday. The Universal star Is an arbiter of fashion in sartorial circles in Hollywood, which has come to bc recognized as the style center for men In this country. His tall, erect figure and perfect symmetry of form, of course, aid him In his pre-eminence as a style leader. But he has an innate sense of the propriety of clothes nnd color harmonies that make him greatly sought after by his fellow cinema stars, for consultation and advice with regard to their screen wardrobe. The picture revolves around the difficulties of a young married couple all of which centers about the acquisition of a dress suit, purchased to aid the Skinners In their social advancement. Tlie contrast between the early part of the picture In which Denny in the shiny, cheap suit as affected by an underpaid bookkeeper and the later sequences Is most marked. The Fashion King is an admirable figure ln his ultra-fashionable dress suit. Already requests have been received for photographs of Denny ln his evening dress, hy prominent clothing manufacturers nil over the country. It Is a fact that the star designs all his own clothes. All that his tailor does is to execute the sketches drawn by Denny. The latter gets his clothes while the tailor takes the credit for designing them. "Skinner's Dress Suit" Is an admirable vehicle for the Universal star. Featured in the picture is Laura LaPlantc, as his wife, and tin: two leads are supported by au excellent cast.

INFORMATION ABOUT "IT" Clara Bow comes to the Gaiety next Wednesday and Thursday and to tht Ilo-Ilo next Friday and Saturday In what critics acclaim as one of. the best comedies that has heen released In many a moon, "It." Those who are up on their contemporary reading won't hnve to be told that "It" is thc theory of sex magnetism which Elinor Glyn has expounded, popularized and made a topic of national prominence.

Those who've listened and wondered what It wns all about will he enlightened nu seeing Miss How's first Paramount starring production.

The remainder of their evidence did not bring to light any new facts, as the two men were in the back seat and could not see very well, while Mrs. Nakamura was too shaken by the accident to remember anything coherent.
