SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM CUMBERLAND COPS COLONIST CUP Up-Island School Sports Big Success With Ihe weather man malntalng his non-committal attitude of the night before and only just offering a glimpse of whut he could do in the line of fair weather, the pupils of the Upper-Island schools gathered at Cumberland on Wednesday to participate in the lirst event of its kind ever held In this part of the province tho Upper-Island tnter-School Sports Day. Nine public schools and one-third as many high schools were represented In. the various competitions, and these representatives, together with their parents and other interested ones from all parts of the district, filled the huge grand stand and overflowed on all sides of the Recreation Grounds. Shortly after the sports got under way, the weather man shrugged his shoulders and brought on the rain. It was a heavy shower hut fortunately only lasted for about an hour. Old Sol tried valian ly to shlno for the remainder of the day but had to give way to his rival, Jupiter, again at 4:00 p.m. How ever, after a few minutes Ihe rain cleared off. not to be heard from again that day. Every detail that could in any way help each and everyone In attendance to thoroughly enjoy the event was attended to and this fact, with the attendance of the Cumberland City Band, tended to make this first fleld day one to be long remembered. Cumberland pupils, both high and public schools, carried off premier honors for the day; winning the handsome cups donated for the school receiving the highest number of points. The high school cup, donated by the Victoria Daily Colonist, was the cause of much excitement as the race for its possession was close between Cumberland and Nanaimo. The latter high school sent up only two contestants, Miss D. Bailey and Danny Stewart, hut both won their events bo easily that they all but lifted the silver-ware. Courtenay High School captured third place honors. The larger public school events also proved a walk-away for Cumberland, as they scored 30 points against Courtenay's 14. Smaller public school) honors were captured by Brechin, heading the list with 13 points, a majority of 4 over its nearest competitor. On completion of the sports. Lieut- Col. Charles W. Villiers presented the prises to the successful contestants, complimenting all on the splendid spirit they had shown during the day. A largely attended dnncc wns held ln the Ilo-Ilo hall In the evening, the proceeds being devoted toward paying the expenses of the day's program. The standing of the schools by points was as follows: High Schools- Cumberland 23 Nanaimo 20 Courtenay 17 Publie Schools (Largo Schools)— Cumberland .*.. 30 Courtenay ; 14 Public Schools (Small Schools) — Brechin 13 Fanny Bay 9 Union Bay 8 Royston 0 Comox 6 Minto 3 Mervllle 1 Cumberland won eight cups, Court- j enny two nnd Brechin one.

(Continued On Page Eight) Report Of City Clerk Gratifying GRANDDAUGHTER OF ROBERT BURNS PASSED AWAY MAY 10 There passed away at Cheltenham, England, on Sunday, May 10th, Miss Annie Burns, last Grand-daughtor of Robert Burns, Scotland's National Poet. Miss Burns who was in her 95th year was born in September 1830 and was the nearest living relative of the Poet. Her father was Lieutenant-Colonel James Glencalrn Burns, fourth son of Robert Burns and she was the only daughter by a second marriage, thus, the line of descent through James Glencalrn Burns and Mary Beckett is completed but It is gratifying to know that It <soHtiuue<! through the fi rut marriage Lieut.-Col. Burns' first wife wan Sarah Robinson and three of their grandchildren are at present alive and two of the latter having families the line of descent from the Poet Is now in the fifth generation. The death of Miss Burns brings to all lovers of the Poet, added zeal and determination to revere and perpetuate his memory, for tbe name of James Glencalrn Burns and his descendants is the fulfilment ot a vow made by Robert Burns ln 1791, when he wrote on hearing of the death of James Fourteenth Earl of Glencalrn, a nobleman who had materially assisted him when he first became known as a poet, "If among my children I shall have a son that has a heart, he shall hand' It down aa a family honor and a tamlly debt, that my dearest existence I owe to the noble house ot Glencalrn." His fourth son, born in 1794, he named James Glencalrn Burns. It Ib also Interesting to turn to the Poet's works and follow his "Lament for James, Earl of Glencalrn," and Its connections, and dwell on the closing Btanza. "The bridegroom may forget the bride Was made his wedded wife yestreen; The monarch may forget the crown That on his head an hour has been; The mother may forget the child That smiles sae sweetly at her knee; But I'll remember thee, Glencarln, Aud a' that thou hast done for me." The resting place of the Earl of Glencalrn Is in Falmouth, where he sickened and died on his way from Lisbon to Scotland in 1791 and the Burns' Federation In 1922 placed a tablet In Falmouth Church sacred to his memory. As long as the works of Burns exist the name ot Glencalrn shall be known not because he was an Earl and a nobleman, but because he was James Cunningham the friend and benefactor of Robert Burns, and also because of the fulfilment of the vow made by the Poet in 1791, and this vow ls being fulfilled today. Burns paid his debt of gratitude and "remembered" Glencalrn. Let tho world "remember" Burns. —R. S.

LOCAL BALL TOSSERS DEFEAT COURTENAY NINE COURTENAY, June 2.—Alderman E. L. Macdonald, who is attending the Shrlner's convention at Los Angeles. Calif., was the only absentee at last night's city council meeting. The members of the Courtenay Gar age .Men's Association petitioned the council through their president. Mr. G. H. Pidcock. for the recognition of a regular schedule of closing hours for garages in the city covering all seusons. A proposed schedule had been drawn up which will probably be enforced. Mr. Wm. Eadle, president of the Courteuay-Comox Board of Trade requested the council to re-assess the taxes of % Courtenay Lumber Mill. Mr. Bridges of the Lumber Co., had expected a more favorable rate. It was explained that if the owners are prepared to have the property converted back into acreage Instead of in city lots as at present, the council would be able to further consider the request. A communication from the Provincial Board of Health advocating vacillation was referred to the school TENNIS MATCH WITH ALBERNI POSTPONED by "Uno" Battling their way from behind a on the diamond. The big three com-1 Tlle Inter-.city tennis match with two-run lead established by the Courtenay team in the flrst half of the opening frame, Cumberland came right back at the visitors and eventually trimmed them 8-3 before a bump- ercrowd on the Recreation Ground last Sunday. It waa the opening ot the C.P.C. League here and the nonary officials ot the club basked themselves In the spotlight for a few brief moments in an endeavor to make our home-town baseball as much up-to- the-minute as the much touted city squads. Thomas Graham, honary vice-president of the club, hurled the flrst one at his battery mate, honary vice-president George Clinton. Dr. E. Hughes one of the big guns of Nova Scotia baseball last autumn, endeavored to connect, to the delight of the crowd, but the apparent fading out-drop of the hurler not only baffled the batter but skidded by the catcher too. Then that was over for another season. Cumberland's win Sunday places the home team at the top of the league and our dairy neighbors can do no other for the present than peer with envious eyes from the cold, dark cellar which they now grace.

This will necessitate the Installation ot a transformer, but ns Mr. Hughes guaranteed the city a minimum revenue of fifty dollars per year the request will be compiled with. Alderman Field reported progress and improvements to the Auto Park. His report showed that a considerable number of new features have heen added for the comfort and service of the auto tourists and that the park is now In readiness for their reception. Alderman Cooke gave notice that he will Introduce a proposed by-law at the next council meeting which would permit extending water service to the southern extremity of the city limits and which would, when passed, enable the water service to be available to a number of residents In tlie neighborhood of the Cumberland road. Alderman Cooke also gave notice of the Introduction of a by-law providing for the purchase of the Auto Park and the installation of city weigh scales. Mayor William Duncan addressed the council giving a short account ot his recent visit to .Nanaimo as the t guest or Mayor Harrison of that city. The occasion was a metting of the mayors of Vancouver Island and the lower mainland. Mr. Clinton S. Wood, the city clerk, submitted a comprehensive statement of llie financial standing of the city and its various utility services. These referred particularly to the electric light department and to the water works department. The report Is a veiy sarisiaeiory one and the comparisons made show the growth and prosperity of the cltys utilities to 'be vigorous and steady. Some of the figures follow: The actual cost of the electric light plant as shown hy the 11124 balance licet was $69tll9,79, of this amount $34.701.4S was supplied by the sale of 20 year 69S bunds. Of Ihe $39,000.00 worth of bonds sold. $7,800.90 worth have since been redeemed, so that Interest is actually being paid on only $31.0110.1111 at the present time. The difference between the amount actually invested iu tlie plant and the amount furnished by the sale of bonds amounting to $24,418.31 has been furnished by the profits from the operation of the plant. While this policy of reinvesting the profits of tlie plant In extensions and additions to the plant Itself has been amply justified as shown in another part of this report, there is no doubt but thai Ibe policy adopted by the 1925 council ami as recommended In my report of March 1023 is tlie soundest under present conditions. Thc policy of the various councils in ex- tendlng the electric light lines to serve the country districts has heen strongly criticized, but the following figures lend lo show that this policy has not been unwise: Cos! of plant at end of 1919, $21.- 754.41; Revenue for 1919 $11.3(17.39; Revenue per dollar end of cost of plant 29.2c; Cost n plain al end of 1924 $64,818.81! Revenue per dollar of cost of plain 86.3c; Operation cost per dollar of coal of plant In 1919 25.5c; Operation cost per dollar of cost of plant In 1924 20.So. Theso figures show thnt 1919 the city made a profit of 3.17's on tbelr Investment and in 1924 a profit of 1 IV,; on the total investment as at the end of 1924.

ANGLICAN BAZAAR SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR COURTENAY, May 29.—The bazaar which was to have been held in tlie grounds of the vicarage at Sandwick under the auspices of the Anglican W. A. was staged in the Booth's Hall on Thursday afternoon. The heavy rain of the previous night was responsible for the change of location. During the afternoon a good number of people patronized the bazaar and availed themselves of the opportunity of purchasing delicious articles from the home-cooking stall which wns in charge of Mesdames J. W. Mctjull'.ani and Thomas and Win. Booth! or from the candy stall, which was operated hy Miss Nora Forrest and the junior members of tlie W.A. or from the various other stalls which were as follows: Work stall, Miss Vine, Mrs. II. I.. Ramsay and Mrs. Hayman; Ice Cream Mrs. 0. T. Cooper. Mrs. F. C, Brock and Miss Fllnton; Mother Goose, Mrs. B. Harvey. Afternoon teas were served under the direction of Mesdames Brethour, C nnd J. Carwithen, W. Eadle, Theed Pearse and Taylor. At six o'clock a business men's supper was served by Mrs. H. V. Collins, Mrs. J. Mitchell and assistants. A humor fine art gallery arranged by Mr. C. F.

CREAMERY DONATES PRIZE MONEY COURTENAY, May 29.—The Comox Creamery are offering n special prize for Ihe 1925 Fdfll Fair of $10 for the best loaf of home made bread made from Comox Wholo Wheat Flour and arc also donating fifteen dollars In cash. WILL OPERATE "U" DRIVE TAXI COURTENAY, June 1.—The small garage building formerly used by ' Messrs Meredith Bros., as a garage and repair shop on Isabelle Street ls : now occupied by Mr. F. L. Lawrence j who Is entering on the auto wrecking j business, with which he will operate 1 a "Drive Yourself" taxi service. Mr. Lawrence is expecting his brother to join hlm in the near future when it Is possible they will build premises for | tlieir business elsewhere in the city. The fact tlmt tlie year 1922 showed I a deficit of $6,394.28 and the year 1924 closed with a shortage of only $1,- 730.30 and further that tlie amount of j $0,134.45 had been raised and expended on the plant during these years out 1 of current revenue, cannot fail to in- i spire tho most profound pessimist : with a feeling of confidence in the | future value to the city of the water j works plant. It Is worthy of note that in spile of the shortage in the operation of the | water plant and in spite of the In- 1 creasing school rate and In spite of tlie fact that the tax rate has been do- creased from 35 to 27 mills, lhat our surplus has Increased from $14,701.07 nt the beglnnlc ot 1922 to $40,721.50 at Ihe end of 1924 and this without count ing as assets anything in the nature of roads, sidewalks, or drains constructed during Ihis period. It should be very gratifying to every citizen of Courtenay that the various councils since Incorporation, have handled their al'iairs to bring about tlie pres- J ent state of affairs. I (Signed) C.

NANAIMO CITY AND DAVENPORTS ADVANCE IN CUP SERIES Both the Nanaimo City team and the Davenport team won their Counaught Cup Hcb last week-end. The City easily accounted for the Veterans of Victoria, running out easy winners by a score of 4 goals to 0. The St. Saviors team of Vancouver gave the Davenports a hard flght for it, and from all accounts the Ports were extremely lucky to emerge victorious by a score of 2 goalB to 1. Good attendances were reported at both games; Interest In the Dominion Championship series Is evidently taking a new lease of life. The North Shore team, Vancouver, were also eliminated from the series, when the St. Andrews team won 3-2 In a freakish contest. The game wan distinguished by the rapidity of goals scored in the Ilrst half and the slowness and entire absence of goals, until the final moment in the second period. MOUNTAINS TEMPT LOVER OF OUTDOORS ONE of the finest Alpine territories to be found anywhere on the North American Continent is that surrounding Mount Robson, (1.1,068 ft.), highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Here the visitor finds magnificent peaks, awe-inspiring glaciers and delightful Alpine valleys with their magnificence of wild flowers to charm the heart of the nature lover. In 1924 the Alpine Club of Canada held its annual camp on the shores of Berg Lake, shown above, and members of that organization, many of whom have climbed in different pirts of the world, were unanimous in declaring that Canada held no more splendid Alpine nnd scenic territory thnn this. Nor is it necessary that the visitor bc an experienced Alpinist to enjoy the beauties of the Mount Robson district, for there are within a short distance of the Berg Lake bungalow, splendid peaks which are easy enough in ascent for the tyro and yet offering splendid views of the surrounding Alp- lands. The photograph shows Mount Robson, the monarch of the Canadian Rockies, and Berg Lake, so named because of the icebergs whicb are constantly floating on ita surface. Beneath is one of thc Swisj guides from Jasper I'ark Lodge, coiling his rope in preparation for leading an ascent nn Mount Robson, while to the right he is shown making his way round one of the difficult ice peaks of the climb. Ponies and guides are available at Mt. Robson station to conduct tourists from there over the magnificent Robson Trail to Berg Lake, where comfortable bungalows ure maintained, which provide an excellent starting point for many wonderful excursions into the higher passes. —C.N.R.

JOCKEYS TO BE EQUIPPED WITH SPECIAL HELMETS When the little race riders on B.C. tracks appear on parade this summer they will lie wearing the little "skull caps" or fibre helmets, found so useful ond so protective to the Jockeys ot Australia. Ollicials of the B. C. Association, urged hy R. p, Leighton, ordered these special headgears and paid for them. It will be obligatory for every rider to equip himself with ono ere he leaves the paddock. "If Willie Gargan had been wearing ono of these helmets," said Mr. Leighton, "he would be alive today, and Paul Hum would not have gone to hospital in the East last winter. Jock e/ Elston a life was saved twice last winter ut Tia Juana because he wore one." The helmets are constructed of very tough fibre, which is tiemedously resistant but yet extremely light. They weigh lews than two ounces, fit tightly to the skull from forehead to base of brain, and the ordinary jockey caps fit snugly over them. Placed on the floor they will readily resist the weight of an ordinary mnn. despite all the pressure he is able to apply. B. C.

Referring to British Columbia Mr. Norman says: "Forging steadily ahead in metal production. British Columbia stands as a shining example of a province that does everything humanely possible to encourage the miner to greater effort.

Dr. MacLean said: "There appears to have been for some time past considerable activity on the part of different commission houses In the direction of trying to break up the union and spread dissatisfaction throughout the membership. These efforts, together with the fact that the past few years have been somewhat hard times ln the berry growing Industry, has Induced a very critical attitude of mind tn the individual growers, so that at their meetings many items ot expenditure are criticized as to their necessity and the policy of the union carefully and sometimes sharply discussed. "The directors of the union feel, and I agree with them, that considerable benefit will result not only to thc union members but to berry-growers throughout the entire province If the whole situation is studied by an efficiency expert and the operation of the industry brought to the point! where the union would bo able to render the maximum of service to the berry-growers at a minimum of cost. For that reason the Department of Industry has asked Mr. Foster to Investigate the situation thoroughly and report at an early date." THESE ARE FIVE POINTS ON WHICH PEOPLE BUY CARS m A GROCER COMMISSION IMPRESSED "What ls a grocer, papa?" "What is a grocer, child? Why he Is a good-natured man who deals in the necessities of life at the corner, and ls too humble to believe tor a minute that he bas any rights. He solicits trade by marking all his goods down to cost, and when the customers don't pay promptly, he waits. Yes, my child, some grocers stand and wait until the undertaker get his bill in, and they lean over the graveyard fence and wonder how to get their money." Ten thousand men who sell motor cars, reached by a questionnaire sent out by a well-known uutomoblle company, have revealed the five most important points upon which men and women buy motor cars. Here they are: 1. Women by on body appearances, upholstery, hardware antl tlie name of the car. They want social prefer- ence. 2. Men buy the motor, tlie price and the trade-in value. 3. Girls and boys prefer roadsters In bright colors. 4. Salesmen want a cur with pep I and performance for satisfactory dem- oiistratlon. Wholesome ciea^ng Refreshing i __ !

NEW WESTMINSTER, — To encourage as far as possible (lie production of skin rabbits, and to find out to what extent the rabbit business In British Columbia could be made an industry instead of a hobby, the directorate of the Provincial Exhibition has under consideration the question of providing additional mom for the rabbit section of the 1925 exhibition. Increased Dcninml "Owing to the recent increased demand for rabbit fur by furriers tlie world over," said D. E. MacKenzie, manager of the Provincial Exhibition, "the directorate will endeuvor to encourage the Industry, for which an entirely new classification has heen provided covering all the various breeds." Heretofore rabbits have been included in pet stock exhibits, lut owing to the rapid development in the breeding of rabbits for fur the exhibition committee has decided to make lt a separate exhibit, and has offered valuable prizes for competition.

OB AGENTS A CALENDAR ROMANCE Our hero waa the common sort, when all la saiil an done: He worked hia head off daily and was nut to get the .MON. The reason for his dilllgenco was commonplace, 'tis true- He tried to swell his salary so it would suffice for TL'E. And maybe that's the reason why one day he lost his head, And falling on his knees, he cried. "Oh, mahhn, wilt thou WBD?" He ma have thought this sudden, hut it seemed not so to her; She lipped a quick acceptance and said forcibly, "Yeth. THUR." But when they went to keeping house he feared that he would die; For, oh, that modern maiden could neither hake nor PRI. She could not ruu a bungalow, or ev'n run a flat. So on many sad occasions in a restaurant they SAT. But he foregave her everything — as man has always done, When she presented him one day a bouncing baby SUN. Reports received at tiie Deparlmeni of Mines from Telegraph Greek are that there is quite an Influx of miners and prospectors into the Pease Lake district whero a find of gold was made last fall. There is no doubl thai the district is a very rich one in minerals and the attention which la being drawn to it is certain to result In a great impetus to its development. The district wan more or less difficult of access until within the Inst few years when the Department of .Mines improved the trail from Telegraph Creek which is the head of navigation on the Stlktne Itiver. to the head of Mease Lake end turned ll into a motor truck road. Tiie facilities for recording claims in the district have been added to !>y ilie establishment of a temporary mining recorder's office at (lold Tan Creek, where last year's "strike" was made, and this has been placed in charge of an experienced mining official. A special topographical and descriptive map of the Deasc Lake district has been prepared on tho instructions of tlie Minister of .Mines which gives a summary of the geological features of the country. This is being issued free. Hon. Wm, Sloan, Minister nf Mines, and Hon \V. H.

DOUKHOBORS BETTER DISPOSED TOWARD SCHOOLING CHILDREN VICTORIA. — Further Information reaching tlle Minister of Education, Hon. J. D. MacLean, from the school inspector acting ns special trustee of the Doukobor school district is that these people continue to be better disposed towards sending their children to school than they were up to the time of tlie recent prosecutions and subsequent seizure ami sale of their community goods to satisfy the fines imposed. It will he remembered that within Ihe last couple of yenrs und especially within tlie lust twelve months members of the sect have set lire to nine schools with resulting total destruction. Two of these buildings were erected nt public cost nnd their value has been levied against thc lsnds of the Community to recoup the province for their loss. The others were built hy the Doukhohors themselves as a result of the efforts of the Department of Education. Following school burnings this spring nml a revival of opposition to sending their children to school some thlrly-llve parents were prosecuted und fined. Instead of letting them go to jail ill default of payment, when they would huve posed as martyrs nnd put the public to the expense of keeping them, it was decided to levy on tlieir goods nnd this was done, with good eiTect. Hon. Dr. MacLean is now advised lhat thc Doukhohors have agreed to make immediate provision in dwellings for two schools, and It is expected that within six weeks proper accommodation will have been provided. The Minister expresses his satisfaction with the outcome of the Department's Iirm attitude and does nol foresee any further trouble. WANTED—To rent plnno, by family with uo children.
