FORTY-EIGHTH YEAR—No. 19 CUMBERLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA FRIDAY. MAY 10th. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM Recognize Services Of Popular Citizen Presentations Made To Mr. and; (Mr. Pearse) never came to Cumber Mrs. T. Graham On Pending Departure from Cumbeland. A very notable gathering took place at the Union Hotel on Friday night last when fifty of the most Influential citizens of the town, met to honor Mr. Thomas Graham, consulting engineer of the Canadian Collieries (11), Limited and the Western Fuel Corporation who Is about to leave the city to make his home lu Victoria. After a mom excellent repast served by host and hostess Yates of the popular L'nion hostelry, the toast- master for the evening, Mayor Alex. Maxwell took charge of the proceedings and asked all to charge their glasses aud drink a toast to ''The King." the toast being accorded musical honors with Mr. II. Goodali at the piano. The toast list proved to be a most excellent one, the speeches of the various proposers and seconders being full of humour aud all speakers paying a glowing tribute to the sterling qualities of the guest of honor, Mr. Thomas Graham. The toast to the city of Cumberland was proposed by Mr. John Sutherland responded to by Ex-Mayor C.J. Parnham. Mr. Sutherland was in real good form and stated that about 12 .»ears ago he attended a .similar gathering in that very room, with Mr. Oraham occupying the same seat on that occasion as he was on this occasion. At that time the affair was held to welcome to Cumberland Mr. Graham and during* the years that had passed since, ho (Mr. Sutherland) had on many occasions interviewed the guest of honor, particularly with regard to affairs of the community. He had always received great consideration at these interviews, Mr. Graham being kindly, courteous, sympathetic and very generous at all times. Personally he was sorry to see Mr. Graham leave Cumberland hut sincerely hoped that health and prosperity would follow him wherever he might happen to be. He had himself been a resident oi' mining camps on the Island for the past sixteen years, five of which was spent in Ladysmith. He had witnessed many ups and downs during his stay In Cumberland, but no matter how far down ln the depths they were, the people of Cumberland were always optimistic and for the first time in the history of the city a camp wa» about to be started close to and whlcb was not connected with the coal mining Industry. He . hoped the merchants of Cumberland would get busy and cater to these people of the new camp, make the town as attractive as possibsle for them, and endeavor to get them to stay for a while, leaving a few coppers hefore they took their gold to Courtenay, He had much pleasure In proposing the toast to the city of Cumberland, trusting that In the future, more prosperous times than ever were in store for her. In responding ex-mayor C. J. Parnham said it was indeed a big surprise to him to have to respond to the toast but as far as Cumberland was concerned he thought the city was only just starting. For the past forty years we have just been plodding along, but w as proud to say that recently movement had been made to negotiate for fhe purchase of the assets of the Cum berland Electric Lighting Company and he sincerely hoped that the efforts of the City Council would be crowned with success. As long as lie had beeu coneeted with the municipal life of Cumberland there had beeu many tlmoa when tiie help and advice of Mr. Graham was sought. It hud been given freely and had proved very beneficial to the city. On behalf of the city council, he thanked tbem for their toast nnd to Mr. Orahum tendered on behalf of IiIh colleagti' the council host Mrs. Graham's future. The city of Courtenay toast was proposed by Mr. A. MacKinnon and responded to by Mayor Theed Pearse. Mr. MacKinnon said tlie loastmaster was full of surprises. lie had not come prepared to do and talking hut land but what he envied them their flue wide main street, a street that was a credit to any town. The mayor was full of humour aud said that he could not understand Mr. Sutherland I ",'" acCounts"and receive the reports REGULAR MEETING OP COUNCIL SHORT ONE Area Chosen at the Lake Is Report of Special Committee The regular meeting of the city council held ln the council chambers on Monday night und presided over by the Mayor did not produce any excitement; there was practically no new business to bring up and only one communication so that tt did not take very long to go through the bills talking about being down in the depths.

THOUSANDS of travellers in the woods, more than ever liefore because the travel permit areas are being extended—will be accosted this yea/ with the question "Have you got your permit". The fire ranger who asks you this question may or may not be in uniform hut if you are in doubt as to his authority he can show you his badge. Why are you asked to obtain a permit to travel tlie woods that belong, you have heard it repeatedly said, to the people of Canada. Simply to assist your guardians of the forests, who represent after all only a nucleus staff, to protect your forest wealth. If you wish efficient forest protection al a minimum cost then you must do part of the protei tion work yourself. It must be a co- operativi alfaii or otherwise your representatives —the tir- rangers -must fail. In a safe year perhaps the lack of ymr individual co-operation might pass—there might not be disastrous rc- sults from some careless action with fire on your part or on thai of lIn- party of which you are a member. Mm you as a novice in the fire fighting game don't know enough and consequently cannot afford to lake any chances with fire, whether you think it safe or not.

There are many arguments here in favor of allowing llie shooting of ;i doe, but chief of them naturally Ih the difficulty of getting a buck. In the more settled districts many bucks have been, shot off; as a result there are a largo number of dry does in the hills and tho deer are nol increasing. Resident deer hunters in this community are not anxious for heads, hut seek nnly the sport, and while tlie meat is ui im great Importnace to thom, they make good use of ii nmong their friends. The meat of the doe is better than that of the buck, particularly after tha rutting season starts. j li :ill seems in come down to this. Iii the early weeks | ni our present season, sinning, say. September 15, thei bucks are away buck in the hills and can only be reach od ii.. Baddlc horse expedition. The average man with Saturday afternoon or Sunday off, bus neither the time nor the facilities with whicli io get into ihe buck country. I3.i ihe time snow (lies in the nearer hills, say, November l.'iili. tlie deer lulling season has made the buck mat unattractive and wbut bucks arc available then to the man milking ;i week-end hunt certainly cannot be welcome for the value or iheir flesh. li is mi admitted fact lhal the docs iu this country very largely outnumber thp bucks nnd to allow doe hunting may merely tend to restore nature's balance, Pennsylvania is having a great fight over the doe shooting question nnd there are not a few sportsmen who believe It u retrograde step to allow the killing of the female of the species. Admittedly it Ih easier to shoot a doe than a buck as tho doe ranges in the lower hills, more readily accessible, and furthermore Bhe is easier to approach than the buck. The new law apparently still allows tbe killing of two deer In tlie season .one of which may he a doe. We almost think it might be better to reduce tlie number to one ' wilh some system of registration of slain animals put ; Into effect. i One thing Is certain, strong steps must be taken to combat the cougar and coyote menace. These animals j prey on the deer to :i tremendous extent. If we can get rid of liiese vermin there will be plenty of doer for all the hunters, and stock left for tlie future, even if wo do ' shoot docs. We would like to see the doe law given a fair trial for a season or two, If iho sportsmen honestly observe It nnd if the game authorities kill off the cougar and coyote:*, we have no great fear of tlle results, Penticton Herald HEALTH SERVICE of the Canadian Medical Association Questions concerning Health, addressed to tlie Canadian Medical Association, 181 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by correspondence. Spring .Medicine There lso tradition that when spring come.-, we require snme spring medicine to purge our bodies of the winter poisons. In the days of the early settlors in Cannda, Winter DID mean misery and sickness much of which disappeared with the coming of Spring. The sickness associated with Winter, among the pioneers, was largely due to their poor diet. Salted meals were I heir chief food, and there was n lack of vegetables and fruits, in addition, they lived closely crowded together for the sake of warmth. In our limes, our diet in Winter can he sufficiently varied because modern methods of preserving foods and up- lo date means of transportation allow us to secure and use fresh vegetables and fruits, or properly preserved vegetables and Fruits all winter. Modern heating systems have made il possible for us to be comfortable during the winter, and there is no j reason why we should not live and : work in ventilated rooms and so secure the fresh aid wo need. , There is no reason to take spring i medicine. TherelS reason, Iiowever. i to look forward to spring make use . of the advantages whicli that season ■ brings. Compared with Winter, this means tlia* in the Spring we can bo out iu tlio fresh air and sunsh.no.

I Personal health cannot bo bought b>' money; ii is not to lie found as medicine a bottle. To secure health and to keeii it. we must spend our lime We must take time to secure the spring Ionic provided for us in Nature's fresh air and sunshine. !

Then came the conquest of Canada by the British and the attempt to set up some kind of a parliamentary sys tem, Eventually, in 1841, came respon- jsible government with its complement in Canadian Confederation a few years later which opened the gate to a new pathway of Imperial orientation; thc old Idea of empire died and it became a group of dominions subject to a common sovereign but supreme within tlieir own boundaries, un- ] til to-day they had thc Britannic Commonwealth of Nations, the greatest thing in imperial organization that thc mind of man had ever con- :ceived. i Following that came the physical j union of Canada through the construction of the Canadian Pacific I Railway, the first transcontinental railway to be built on this continent; the United States had forty million people before she attempted such an undertaking. Speaking of material development, Mr. Nicholas said our nine million ; people had a record unsurpassed by :'any people in the world. In per capita wealth we stood fifth and in per capita export we were exceeded only by New Zealand. Canada waa the largest exporter of grain ln the world and the product of our manufactures exceeded that of our neighbor when she had sixty millions of people. Can- jada was also the largest exporter of paper in the world. In money markets she was now a lending nation. Speaking of Canada's prospects, ttie, speaker said that the star of empire was moving to the north. In the great Peace River country. The Pas and thc Plln Flon new sources of wealth were developing and there were homes for millions of people. There was one thing to remember, though, that while they were amassing wealth from these natural resources, the resources were disappearing and they must learn proper methods of conservation and how to take advantage of the by-products of these resources. If the governments, he said, would pay attention to the development of by-products, the mines of Vancouver Island would come back with all their prestige upon the economic affairs of the island. There was a great future for Canada with the adequate conservation of her resources and the successful development and exploitation of the by-products. This could only be done by scientific investigation and research and by learning to avoid wastefulness. We would then become one of the greatest trading nations of the world. Mr. Nicholas expressed the opinion that lt was Canada's duty to take the import duty ofT goods coming from the Old Country and purchase from the Old Country such goods as the Motherland could properly and effectively make. Canada also had a wonderful opportunity in her trade across the Pacific and in this respect Vancouver Island was in a strategic position. Speaking of Vancouver Island, Mr. Nicholas touched on the question of the Campbell River power. He said that great corporations were striving with each other to obtain this power; they were lobbying down at Victoria and using every endeavor to further their interests for the possession of tlie eighty to one hundred thousand horse power that could be obtained. Why? Because other industries were to follow. There was to be a smelter here operated by one of the strongest corporations of this kind In Canada and somewhere up here next to the source of raw material there must be developed a great community; It was inevitable, because the conflict for the possession of that power made it absolutely certain and sure. By the proper use of this power the entire island should benefit. They in Victoria did not expect that it should be developed for the benefit of Victor-1 ia and if that power was to be de-' veloped at all in the interests of the, province as a whole, this part of the island should be one of the chief beneficiaries. Victoria could not consume, to-day the power available at Jordon River and they did not expect to be the chief beneficiaries of the Campbell River power but they would benefit in the "back-wash." Coming back to his subject, Mr. Nicholas said there were no bases for a permanent affluence in their material resources. The old empires which had depended on material wealth had disintegrated but Aristotle, Homer, 3ocl rates, Demosthenes and Plato vere still a power in swaying the mor- ils of mankind. The Roman Empire )f thc Caesars fell but the Roman law still lived nnd the arts and sciences of ttaly still lived. The things that lived vere not the things reflected in the balance sheet of a nation. Great Britain was not entitled to her proud appelation because of the fact that she was the greatest trading na- ,lon of the world or because of the jxplolte of her sailors and soldiers, but | because she was the "mother of parliaments," the foremost nation in civil liberty, because she was the first to free the slaves and because she has always kept her word. Canada, he said, could very well take some pages from that history and remind herself that the assurance of a country's permanency cannot be found tn her material wealth, but must be found in those things which come from the mind and the spirit, from the development of art, literature and science, ln the manifestation of those principles which make for true citizenship. Canada's destiny was written large across the heavens. The speaker put forth a plea for a broad spirit of na- tlonal unity along the lines of a proud and self-respecting Canadianism. By tlie development of a Canadian consciousness, he said, we need have no fear of tlie political effect of our neighbors in the United States. At the conclusion of his address, Mr. Nicholas was given a great ovation and tendered a hearty vote of thanks on motion by Dr. O. K. MacNaughton, M.L.A.. .seconded by Mr. Thomas Graham.

CUMBERLAND ISLANDER, CUMBERLAND, B.C. PAGE THREE •V* I Correspondence To the Editor, Cumberland Islander. Cumberland, H.C. Dear Sir: For many years the Archived Department of British Columbia has been collecting the recordfl oE the pioneers and has amassed a great Quantity of manuscript material, photographs, etc.. which forms a wonderful repository of historical information and is also a tribute to the memory of our pioneers, It is well that there should be in tho Capital of the Province a department, one of whose duties is the collection and reverential care of material relating to those who pioneered in our great province and laid tlie foundations for our present prosperity. In your district there may be sonic pioneers or their descendants who have in llieir possesion original letters, dairies, account books, journals, note hooks, photographs or other material which ought properly to find a resting place in the Provincial Archives. If so, 1 beg to make an appeal to ihem to deposit the same with tiie Department, which would be proud to receive ihem and to take every possible care of them for all time. All too often the original manuscrlptB or papers of our pioneers disappear. Sometimes thoy are unthinkingly destroyed. In other cases, they are simply burled away and forgotten, and there is in any case always a danger of loss by lire, whereas ai Victoria the documents j are kept in nn absolutely fireproof j building. No matter bow trivial or unimportant certain papers may seem to their owner, tliey may have u dis- j tinct value In after years. The undersigned will welcome correspondence from any persons in your district having any class of the above mentioned material in their possession, with a view to the same being acquired by purchase or gift for the Provincial Archives.

He sincerely hoped tbat when Mr. Graham bad ceased to take an active interest iu the work be was undertaking be would return and settle In thc Comox district. He ashed i Mr. Graham to accept a magnificent I piece of silverware for Mrs. Graham . In the form of a silver candelabra and for himself a lovely well titled club bag. He proposed the toast to Mr. Graham, the assembly singing lustily "For he's a Jolly good fellow." j On rising to reply, Mr, Graham was vory visibly affected end in a qin-ii well modulated voice, thanked them all from the bottom of his heart for their kind words and for the lovely material gifts for himself and Mrs. Graham. He assured bis friends that although he was leaving Cumberland to reside lu that place where all good British Columbians hope to reside, Victoria, yet, he was not severing his connections with the company or wilh the community, lie hoped, In the course of bis duties to be aide to visit them quite often In the future, and no matter where he ami Mrs, Graham might happen to be tbey would always think kindly of their good friends in Cumlierland. Where, he sa.-d both Mrs. Graham and himself had spent tlie best twelve years of their life. Speaking of the present state of tho eoal industry he stated that it was world wide and not confined to this particular part of the world and he was frank enough to admit that at present he could not see any prospects for immediate improvemeht, but that when coal does come hack into its own, and come back it most uicly will, he felt that this district in particular would benefit materia* ly. li had been said that this district was almost worked out but \%e was iu a position to say that at No. 5 mine alone there was a proven coal Held thnt could produce 1,000 tone a day. working three hundred days a year, for the next thirty years. He said he was not leaving Cum- berland without many regrets, hut as had already stated he fondly hoped to be aide to visit ihem quite often.

It was the first time that a Canadian Viceroy hud ever seen, and in turn, been seen on the rugged coast that is now looming as one of the nation's important industrial and tourist regions; further the arrival of the Norah brought thr* most luxurious passenger steamei ever to ply in regular service in West Coast waters, now to be the permanent run of the staunch little Clyde-built vessel. The West Coast had decked itself in gala attire for the visit of the great white chief from Ottawa, tremendous excitement prevailing among whites and Indians alike nt the various ports of call. Local interest was heightened by the fact that Their Excellencies cast formality to the four winds, and entered' into the spirit of the many receptions and celebrations with n zoet not exceeded by any tourist on the coast. Incidentally, Lord Willingdon intimated after the ter- . of thu (Itur examples or Imllnn art, Rlgbt, Tln-ir Eiwllerwlw VtMOlint nnd Luily Will tat lion tnd th* UM Norah" on which Uie first vlcc-n-yid tour of tht- <*nt cuiiht ot VfttlwitVU Mlnnd tru nwita. mination of his voyage that it I the council hall, and Chief tack, would not be the last occasion on another of the Nootka which he would see that particular part of Vancouver Island. Loyalty of the Indians, evident at all points touched, was particularly demonstrated at Friendly Cove, historic spot discovered by Captain Cook in 1778, when a lineal descendant of the great Chief Maquinna, who first saw the Band, mounted the pedestal to deliver an impassioned peroration in his native tongue. His Excellency stood attentively until the Indian Chief had finished his speech, taking it, probably, for the usual honeyed words of welcome. His astonishment and that of many of the chief's hearers was white man, gathered his tribe, the great when "Billy" Lord, well- Nootka Indian band, in the great known industrial leader on tha council hall to greet the Vice-regal west coast, acting in the role of un- narly.

The fourth candidate appearing at the eleventh hour nf grace Is the Strathcona Power Co,, recently incorporated with nominal capital, and in one sense an offshoot of the original Campbell River Co., inasmuch as Its Incorporators for u time held an option on its interests, with which the Brymer pulpwood limits are associated. The pioneer Campbell River Power Co. similarly has formed a close alliance with tlio Canadian Utilities Limited, operating in this dominion under the aegis of tlie International Pulp & Power Company of the I'nited States; while tlie Canadian Crown-WiUlamette, which ii is understood ha.s never yet obtained i. water record, proposes at tho outset exclusive utilization of tlie developed power in operation of its own contemplated offillated pulp and paper production plants—engagement in the sale of power for transportation or industrial or lighting purposes not. being compassed in the stated intention of the company. -:- GAIETY -:- Courtenay, Next WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY 8.15 p.m. 14 FAMOUS .SOLOISTS Men and Boys 14 Positively yuur Last Opportunity to hear IN SPECIAL RETURN VISIT presented by B.P.O.

At the council meeting on Monday night it was pointed uut by both Aid Kirk and Aid. Maclntyre that the original! guarantee had been reduced from $1,000 to $704 in an endeavor to meet these probable consumers and already the time limit had been extended on three different occasions to enable them to make good. Aid. Maclntyre, as Chairman or the! Electric Light Committee, reported! that only $540,00 had so far come in; they had other promises of $150.00 and one of those who had nlready paid in' had promised to put up tlie other ten dollars to bring it up io ihe guarantee1 but Uie actual money was not forth-! coming. He moved, seconded by Aid. Kirk, that the money be refunded to' thoso who had paid in, Tlie Mayor said these people had, come to the council and the council, had gone out of their way to help: them and he did not think it should' dniij along any longer. Aid. Maclntyre said lie was in entire, sympathy with giving light to the! lower road, but as a matter ol fact ifi tlie amounts were paid in now the city would be considerably out of pocket as the price of wire and transformers had considerably advanced since this money should have come In. Aid. Ball thought possibly a definite date should be set for the refunding of the money and moved in amendment to the original motion that unless the money under the guarantee was fully forthcoming by the 20th instant, the money already paid In be refunded on that date. This amendment was carried. Koyston Water Extension, Too A similar condition has arisen In connection with the Royston Waterworks scheme. Aid. Ball reported that there was still $350.00 to come In under this guarantee and he therefore gave notice of motion that at the next meeting of the council he would bring in a motion to the effect that if Uie balance of the money was not forthcoming such action ns was deemed necessary be taken to refund the money already paid in.
