Report of Fire Tendered To City Council City Fathers Authorize Old School to Be Re-Shingled; Many Streets to Be Treated With Tarvia. A very comprehensive report from Flre Chief C. J. Pairnham was reail hy the city clerk at the Council meeting held on Monday. The chief's report dealt with the recent convention of Pacific Coast Fire Chiefs' Association which was held in Vancouver and very largely attended. Chief Parnham In his report states that undoubtedly a great deal of good will result from thc convention, some very excellent pnpers and many suggestions heing advanced during the four days' session. Concluding lie thanked the council for the opportunity afforded him of attending the convention in company with the deputy chief, J. H. Cameron. The Mayor was in the chair With Aldermen Parnham, Mumford, Williams and Bannerman present. Minutes of the last meeting were adopt- ed as read,and in addition to the report from the fire chief, a communication was (received from the Cutout-Hand Electric Lighting Company stating that a general meeting of the shareholders had been called for Thursday, August the 29th when the offer of $25,000.00 from the council for the purchase of the Electric Light Company would be dealt with. Mr. A. MacKinnon, secretary of the Cumberland Hoard of School Trustee* was present and on behalf of the trustees, asked for a grant, to enable them to re-shingle one or both schools. The secretary stated that an approximate cost of the work to be done to the old school roof would total 91.500. Both roofg were in need of attention, but if the council dectd- eded that at the present time work on ouly one building could be undertaken, it would have to be the old school. After due consideration it was decided to give the school trustees power to proceed with the work, the Mayor intimating, that aa far as possible, all local help be employed. Billg and accounts presented were ordered referred to the finance committee and if found correct, to be paid Reports of committees were also presented all chairmen reporting satisfactory progress in all departments. Under the heading of new business it wns decided to ask the water works company to level off the hole left by tlieir workmen after doing repairs to the water pipes iu front of Wilcock & Co., butcher shop and also repair the sidewalk in front of the Cumberland Motor Works garage. Some discussion arose ro the state of the city streets and on it being suggested that whilst the company oiling the roads for the government was in the district it might be possible to have them work on certain of the city streets. Eventually Mr. Beavan, he district engineer was reached by telephone mid an approximate cost of the work proposed given. The board of works was instructed to interview I the representative of the company and [ make arrangements for tho work to | be undertaken. j City Clerk Cope notified the council that he hud been unable to ohtnln anyone to act as clerk whilst he was on holiday. He suggested that tbe night watchman be transferred to the daytime and Mr. Mclntyre be employed ns night watchman for two weeks. Ah there would not be much clerical work (luring the next two weeks, the city fathers acted on the clerk's suggestion, Representing the Bussc Low Temperature Carbonization process. Major W. MacKenzie is visiting his father in Victoria after an absence ot eleven years. In an Interview, Major MacKenzie said: "We hope to erect large plants i:i Canada during the course of the next two years whicli, eventually, will reach a daily run of 10,000 tons," The group represented by the distinguished visitor has the largest coal distillation plant, built upon a commercial scale, in the world,and is j situated at Glenhoig, Scotland, where It has produced the most satisfactory results. He is, most enthusiastic regarding Ills mission to Canada, and says: "We consider that any successfully operated low temperature carbonisation process which can he used on a commercial scale will be the salvation of the coal industry, not only In England, but also throughout the entire world." ; MR. A. W. NEILL ANO j HON W. R. MOTHERWELL HERE ON TUESDAY LAST The Hon. W. R. Motherwell, Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa and Mr, A. W. Neill, member for this riding were '" Cumberland on Tuesday afternoon for an hour or so and m?t many of the residents at the Waverley Hotel. Mr. Motherwell was ln this district visiting relatives about twenty years ago and many of the old timers wended their way to the Waverley to meet tho minister of agriculture. Mr. Motherwell is accompanied by Mrs. Motherwell and other members of his party include, Mr. and Mrs. Charles McDonald, of Vancouver and Miss Cummings, secretary to the minister of agriculture. On Wednesday the party visited several farms tn tlie Comox Valley and had lunch at Little River with Mr. and Airs. A. W. B. Paul. Baseball v. Cricket Novel Game on Wednesday Night T)ie Cumberland baseball team, members ofthe Comox District Twilight league challenged the Cumberland cricketers to a game of cricket. The challenge being accepted the game will take plaoe on the "Y" ground on Wednesday night next at 5:30. Local baseballers are of the oplnon that equipped with such a wide bat as a cricket bat, they can knock anything that is offered by tbe local bowlers. There is not the slightest doubt about the baseballers hitting a full-tosesd ball out of the ground, but their opponents will most certainly not offer that kind of a ball. What they will do to a ball thnt breaks from the leg side, then on the nevt delivery probably will break from the off side remains to be seen, A. E. S. Leggatt of the Cowichan team, one of the most forceful batters in British Columbia today was absolutely beaten by a break ball on Saturday last, delivered by R V. Hall and if the local baseballers can hit lhat kind of a ball they will be a decided acquisition to the Cumberland cricket team. As a result of tho game the latter are confident of gaining one or two recruits to their ranks. A return game of baseball will be played next Friday, hut so fnr as we can learn, the cricketers are not saying much about it. Most of thom have never handled a baseball hai, so until tbey try their hand, silence appears to be tlieir motto. Mr. C. C. Lacon, uf Denman Island, sent word over to Cumberland today, enquiring nbout prospects for a game of cricket witba Denman Island team. Mr, Lacon Btates thatthere are several old countrymen over on the Inland who would very much like to engage in a game. The secrtary of the loc-il club has been instructed to write and offer to play Mr. Lacon's team on Sunday afternoon, August the 25th. I Ab the Denmanites have no equipment Agricultural Report For This District Thc agricultural report published periodically by tho Department of Agriculture «t Victoria, just to hand. In reporting conditions in this district suys: "The hay crop on old pastures is poor to medium, but very good on new seedlings. Corn Is improving and needs mor? sunshine.

Scant Consideration For Offenders "Blind Pigging" Will Not Be Tolerated; Will Turn Deaf Ear to Appeals Where Violators Are Given Prison Terms. Attorney-General Pooley makes tin; announcement that there are to.i many applications coming before htm asking for clemency In the case or persons who have been convicted of illegal selling of liquor in the province. These applications for special consideration on tbo part of the department, after conviction will in fu- lur receive scant consideration. Mr. Pooley, In giving this statement to The Colonist yesterday explained that his stand was not taken from any desire to be regarded as lacking human reeling. He. however, called attention to tbe fact that there were so many applications coming forward looking lor clemency after the law of the land had been disregarded, especially with respect to the practice of "blind pigging" that it became necessary to call a halt. His advice, therefore, to the people who are prone to fall into the error of violating the liquor law's of tho province i« to take thought earlier than has oftentimes been done by them. "Let them think of tbose who are dependent upon them before they transgress instead of after it." said Mr. Pooley.

Ever since the unfortunate accident which occurred on the Cumberland-Courteny road a few weeks ago, in which a young man of the district lost his life, several prominent people of the town have asked the islander to take up thf suggestion above—pedestrians keep to the left. On two evenings of this last week it was tried i out. once on llie very road where the accident happened and once on the Island highway, and we | must confess lhat the suggestion has more toi commend it than condemn it.

W. R. Motherwell, Federal Minister ot Agriculture, was very disappointing, there being but a mere handful present when there should have been hundreds. However, those who did attend listened to a very interesting and instructive address on Canadian Agricultural problems. Mayor Theed Pearse occupied thc chair and on behalf of the citizens of Courtenay and district extended to Mr. Motherwell a very hearty welcome. Dr. G. K. MacNaughton. M.L.A., was then called upon aud said that it was with a great deal ol pleasure he welcomed Mr. Motherwell on behalf of his constituents. While there were different industries in thc district, agriculture was the .spinal column and he thought the Dominion Government was to be congratulated In having a cabinet minister in thc person of the Minister of Agriculture who thought it was worth his while to visit the outlying districts and he was sure every farmer would apreciate the importance of his visit to the district. Mr. A. W. Neill, M.P.. followed und expressed on behalf of his friends and himself his thanks to the chairman for taking the chair, also to Dr. MacNaughton for being present. This was not a partizan meeting and it was a fine tribute that they were there. He would have liked to have had the opportunity to answer till Hon. Mr. Bennett but he understood that this was fairs over to boards and this matter had bcen turned over lo the board ofl Railway Commissioners who had decided lhat there was no grievance. Thc matter was now before the Privy He then referred to the stump-pulling dmonstration and said lhat 2$ years ago when member in the local House for Alberni he had really ed thc difficulty of trying to clear land at a cost of from two to four hundred dollar cleared was not worth more than sev enty-flve. At that time he got a vote in the estimates for $4,000 wilh which to buy a stump-puller but the government "bust up" and after all these years a similar scheme was to be tried out. But he did not think it could be done lor less than two or three hundred dollars an acre. Mr. Hughes, of Merville. had pul the tiue-stion to him as to why thc department or research should not put their energies and re- chemical method of destroying the stumps and he thought this was a sources together to discover some matter Mr. Motherwell might look into. With reference to the banning of oleomargarine, Mr. Neill said that while he had taken to himself a good deal of the credit for this, Mr. Motherwell wa.s entitled to a great deal of it for they had his backing and without his aid they could not have put ir companions slept, sold the milk whole milk but ^ Were toiling Upwards in thi' night. — Longfellow i tics at Ottawa showed that they were ■ — i producing more milk now than ever EMPIRE AM) DOMINIONS before In the history of Canada.

Exports to the United States in cream, milk, condensed milk and cheese had increased. They had heard a good deal about a shortage of 101,000 cows, The United States had been short of cows for some years and a number of the farmers had been tempted to sell their cows for the fancy prices offered. The reason for this was that they had the healthiest cows in the world. Mr. Mo therwell dwelt on thc establishment of T. B. tested areas and hoped that before long Vancouver Island would be one of these areas but it would be two or three years yet before this could be doue. Howevr, the large number of clean herds was a magnet to the United States buyers and that was where these 101.000 cattle had gone. He also touched on the matter of British preference and thought that other things being equal we should have, flrst, a preferencial trade within the Empire, second inter-provincial trade, and, third, we should give the home town the preference. j In closing, Mr. Motherwell spoke' very highly of Mr. A. W. Neill, one of! the Independent members of the! House and, said he, if there ever was an independent member between here and Thnbucto, they had him right here in Comox-Alberni. No government could give as good government as had been given in the United Kingdom, in the United Slates and in Canada without the independent voter. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr. Motherwell on motion by Mr. W. A. B. Paul, seconded by Mr. R. U. Hurford. come given. He was no stranger to the districl as twenty-two years ago he had paid a visit to his old friend, the late R. J. Smith and his family. Immediately following the war, said Mr. Motherwell, everybody's business went inlo chaos but the farmers were confused when the price of their goods went down although the cost kept up. On thc Prairies farmers were ruined. All over thc civilized world there was a very sad slate of affairs in agriculture. But in no other nation had agriculture come back so quickly as in Canada and since then it has come back to a reasonable position of secur- ity, During the past four or five years the farmers had been making gains i but the present year was going to be bad year for some. However, after succession of about ten good years Council. It wa.s not fair, he said, that |tllcJ. C0Uld not comPlal» over one bfld we should have to pay a domestic rate'y?

Irsources could be developed as cheaply as possible. On the Prairies the wheat production in the ten years since the war had doubled. Mining industry was developing as was the paper and pulp industry. Fisheries were buoyant and power development phenomenal, If the present rate of development kept up it would even lually reach the pockets of all. They were particularly fortunate in having great wealth stored up in their forests, their mines, tehir fisheries and iheir agricultural lands, but if they were prodigal they were bound to suffer. Mr. Motherwell then took up the question of co-operative marketing and complimented his hearers on having an egg-pool of which he had only heard alter his arrival here; A great many store-keepers, he said, were disposed lo be glad that this business had gone into the hands of the pool. He had been told by some of them that It through.

"I have, myself, been In touch with many officials over this Installation," he said, "and each and every one has shown himself most willing to do what almost seemed Impossible.

We would not think o [entrusting the operation of a SUMMER FRUITS FOR WINTER USE Preserve in Summer So That Health May Be Preserved During the Winter By Betty Barclay '"Trya dish of home-made peaches, Alice. Mother put them up herself." Such an invitation was quite common years ago, but -rather rare today. Far too rare, as a matter of fact, to please thousands of Alice's and hun droits of thousands of Henry's and Fred's with a "sweet tooth" just as highly developed as was the sweet tooth of a decade ago. The old-fashioned pound for pound preserves were almost Invariable looked upon as dessert. Few, if any, realized that they were much more. As a matter of fact, a well-sweetened preserve, conserve, jam or jelly. Ih a jar or glass of winter fuel stored away for the use of our body engines during cold weather. Realizing also thai the fruit or berries are containers of valuable minerals, salts and vitamines, it is easy to appreciate tlie fact that a welt stocked preserve closet Is a comhin ation of a medicine chest, fuel storeroom and dessert closet. We cannot all own fur coats for winter use. but we can supply intern at body heat quickly through the medium of sugar foods, sweetened preserves and such foods. Internal heat is much better than outside protection from cold as given hy the fur coat and woolen sweater. Without internal heat, the costliest fur may leave us shivering. With sufficient internal heat, it may not be necessary. So purchase summer fruits and berries when they are fully ripened and obtainable at moderate eost, and can, preserve, or pickle them in sugar, as you see fit. When winter comes you will have on hand, sufficient fuel to carry you over until the balmy breezes of Spring arrive. Of course you may purchase much of the jam and jelly you use, but with a home-preserved supply on hand, you will eat it more oft en,and be prepared at any time Of or the company that always appreciates the peaches, plums or berries I hat mother cans herself. The pound for pound recipe does not seem to be quite as common today as it once was, but the thre" parts sugar to four parts fruit recipe lias taken Its plaee with a vengeance. Here are a few easily followed recipes whicli you may use between now and late Fall: I'liiin Cuiisem' Wash and skin 5 pounds blue Damson plums, cut in small pieces and add 2 cups crushed pineapple, Measure, and add ihree-fourihs the quantity of sugar.

Add three pounds sugar to each ' four pounds of berries und heat [ gently until the sugar dissolves and I the juice is drawn from the berries. ■ Cook rapidly until berries are plump i and the syrup thick. Pack carefully In clean, hot jars and seal. Watch . j for leakages. machine, or the erection of a building or bridge to a man who was merely anxlousto irun tiie machine or to build some thing. We place such duties in the hands ofa person who has been trained to do the particular type of work. Parents ilo not know by instinct the proper way in which to bring up a child. Some of them do gain knowledge from experience.aiul some ol them are willing and anxious to learn from others. The up-bringing of n child is a serious and, sometimes. ;• difficult matter, if It Isto be done propeiii ii requires training and preparation for the task. To the person who feels that our ancestors got along very well and reared families withoul training, we can only say that the number of unhappy Individuals, tho number who hive never adjusted themselves to life, the innay who find I life a burden, the group who are a I nuisance to others.io say nothing of the few who have real mental and 'physical health, are ample proof thai the old system was not a success. Parent Education is » real need; ft is not a fad but an evidence of the Importance of proper preparation in order to ensure that all children shall be glvent their chance.

Vancouver Island. The island is twelve miles long and averages less than three miles in width. Vet its live lakes provide Ashing and canoeing; Its woods are filled with deer and pheasants, and its shores are an Invitation to the holiday makers. On Its twenty-five miles of road thero are two automobiles. Sheep Herds Fast (irowing Lasqueti Island was for years the home of Gulf fishermen, being close to the heart of former Gulf fishing grounds. But the call of the sheen herder has been heard iathls as well as many other Gulf islands .and Lasqueti Islanders are making sheep- raising their leading industry. And now hundreds of sheep roam the little Island. They have nothing to tear cougar, bear or wolves, as there aro none on the Island. Lasqueti Island is a land of rocky uplands and fertile valleys, iitled with old glacial silt. Here have been planted productive, small orchard* as well as vegetable gardens. The single logging company on Lasqueti Island produced about 2,- 000,000 feet of logs last year. Some tif the settlers are considering the erection of a new sawmill, lt is said the island mountains contains about 50.000,000 Teet of marketable lumber. CopUer Found on Inland Lasqueti Island has its sbare of copper claims. Tbere is a vein of mineral ore said to run through most of thc Gulf of Georgia, some of thc Lasqueti claims are still being worked. The best known harbors of Lasqueti are Tucker Bay, in the centre, and False Bay. The latter. has the hotel, Lasqueti boasts a post office, and rural mall delivery has been in existence for twelve years. There is government telephone service on the island, andthree schools adequately serve the residents. Like Large Family The settlers on Lasqueti Island are like a large aud happy family. They have their quarrels as have other families, but they do not air their domestic troubles to outsiders. Living Costs Low They look forward with confidence to the time when the beauties of the island and the opportunities in sheep- raising, in mixed farming or of living In quiet retirement will lure settlers from the coast cities. They claim that the low cost of living in comfort at Lasqueti Island will make friends for it among many whose incomes make living in the cities beyond their means. For instance they say thc taxes on 100 acres at Lasqueti are only $13 a year, and thoso who build summer cottages at Lasqueti would put themselves in a position to enjoy the luxury ora summer holiday cheaply. >amed by Spaniard Lasqueti Island was named In 1791 by the Spanish naval officer Jose Maria Navarez, iu command of the exploring schooner Saturnfa iu Lt. Eliza expedition. Eminent geologists say Lasqueti was the earliest formed of the Islands in the Gulf of Georgia. While the Island was named by a Spaniard, two important parts were named after a distinguished British naval officer. Tucker Bay was named after Rear Admiral Tucker, R.N., Trcmertou Mountain was named by Capt. Richards, H.N., in command of H.M.S. Plumper on geopraphlcal survey In 1800. Tremerton Mountain was so named because It resembles tho knot on a hill In Cornwall on which Is built Tremerton Castle, the family home of tbo Tuckers.

' Ho also mentions "Point Old," which is really Point Voung , so that Lasqueti Island has ancient and modem history. Poor Man's Rock lies only fifty yards from shore. At low tide the rock is above water, but the tide rises approximately fifteen feet at this Point Many visitors to the island make it a point to visit this spot.
