TORONTO, Jan. 28.~-"The manufacturers who* transformed Canadian industry from peace to war are not afraid of the tnsk of transforming it back again, war to peace, but they ask for liberty to devote their entire energy to its accomplishment. "Therefore; tho Canadian Manufacturers' association1 believes that the country should concentrate on the tnsk of returning' to peace conditions, with all Its attendants and leavo the high 'controversial problem of trafiff revision to a time when it can bo given the undivided attention it demands." The above is the attitude of the manufacturers of Canada on the tariff question, according to a statement issued today by the general manager of the Canadian Manufacturers' association, In reply to the Western Grain Growers, prepared according to instructions given by the executive coun- H of tho association at its last meeting. Text of Declaration. The text of the declaration follows: "The Canadian Manufacturers' association wishes lo state clearly its position with regard to certain J^nands now- being made, -^Uj^JKh11^ ■t^esteijii Grain Growers, for a radical chang^ lit the tariff of Canada.

(b) Complete free trade between Great Brituln and Canada in five years. Tlio acceptance of the reciprocity treaty with tho United Stales was rejected by Canada in 11)11. That any further reduction of tho tariff of the United Stutes toward Canada be met by a -similar reduction of tho Canadian tariff toward tho United States. (Presumably freo trade with the United States at any time the United States is rcdy for it.) It is fair to assume that the above resolutions are designed not merely to make slight changes in the tariff, hut to abolish it entirely, thereby revolutionizing our present fiscal system.' Postpone Tariff Controversies. The Canadian Manufacturers' association urges most strongly that all tariff controversies should be postponed until the country has settled the immense question of readjustment from war to peace conditions. It is believed that this view is held, not only hy the manufacturers and their employees, but also by nearly all the financial and commercial institutions and their employees, by the transportation systems and their employees, and,' in addition, a great number of (farmers who have found a steady market for their produce in factory towns .and cities. \ "It is a general and familiar law ..that, in any country, when fundamental tariff changes are anticipated trade depression follows. During such periods-of uncertainty, investment ts curtailed, enterprises limited, commerce lives from hand to mouth, consumers buy sparingly and building languishes. Timidity- replaces confidence and resoluteness and the general attitude may be described as 'wait and see.' This Is xuetly tho opposite of what is required today. If ever Canada needed courage, initiative and united effort, now is the time." The chief problem is "how can this country adjust itself from war to peace?" "It -is no-reflection upon the farm- era to recall the fact that only a small percentage of the Canadian army camo from the farms; because It is recognized that the chief duty of the farmers during the war was to produce food, a duty which was performed by them with courage and success. Commerce Must Take Men. "Consequently the bulk of the Cunu- [linn army will have to be real.sort.od liy commerce, and cspeciaty by the manufacturing industries which must nlso try to provide work fot* those of he war workers who really need it.

CABINET TAKES! II m of TAKES UP TINE OF PORING THE DAY SESSIONS Generally Accepted View Appears to Be That Possessions Are Not \to Be Returned to Germany—General Admitt- istration Is Subject Hard to Solve— London Paper Gives Opinion British Executive Discusses Subject of Demobilization—To Increase Pay of Men Retained. (By Dally News Leased Wire.) LONDONN, Jan. 28.—A: speoiul, meeting of the cabinet held today was attended by Winston Spencer Churchill, Sir Eric Geddes, Sir Robert Steve- Bton Home, the new labor minister, ami General Sir Henry Wilson and General Sir William Robertson, Urgent questions regarding demobilization were' discussed. It is understood that the conference reached the conclusion that there was no prospect for months to como of the voluntary enlistment of sufficient men foi" the army of occupation and the salvage of property ia the war theatres for properly garrisoning India, Gibraltar und the crown colonies, to ensure the safely of the United Kingdom and safeguard the results of the victory in Palestine, Mesopotamia and Turkey, and that hence it would rid necessary to adopt Some method of t'dection and place tlie men retained as nearly as possible in the samo po sition as they would be in civil life with regard to pay and other conditions. It is considered that for the purposo above stated, about 1,000,000 mon would bo required, which means, roughly, that three out of every four men will be demobilized nnd the fourth retained to "finish the job." And the idea in to release the men who have already rendered the most service to tlie country. Probably some stipulated date will be fixed and al) the men who joiin. ft the service previous to thut will be demobilized. The pay of tho men retained will be largely increased, and a new scheme of leavo introduced. The men thus retained to bridge the gap until the reorganization of the new standing peace army will be considered as fulfilling functions as important as fighting, and employers of labor will be reijuested to keep open for them their pre-war positions, as was done during the war for the fighting men.

PARIS, Jan. 28.—Germany's colonies occupied the entire attention of the two extended conversations of the su preme council of the great powers today and the disposition of this small empire, scattered over the African mainland, in Asia and throughout the Pacific, Is presenting a territorial question of the first magnitude. The hearings given today covered the entire range of these German colonies, as the delegates of Australia, New Zealand and Japan presented their respective interests in the Pacific groups of islands, Japan and China their inter est In Kiauu Chow and the German concessions and many treaty ports, and tiie French minister of colonies, M. Simon, took up tho African colonies, embracing Togoland, the Kameroons and German East and Southwest Af rica. Not in Favor of Return. General Jun Christian Smuts, the Soutli African leader, and General Louis Botha, the South African premier, already have been heard on the question of German East Africa, and now it only remains to obtain the view point of the Belgians, who are about to press their ideas of their interests in the colonies adjacent to the Belgian Congo. It appears to be the generally accepted view-- among those having interests in the matter that Germany's colonies should not be returned to her This, in turn, has developed another cruicial question, namely,( whether German sovereignty over these colo hies should pass to the powers who may receive them or whether they would be entrusted to a. league of na tlons Whdojh would exercise control while giving a mandate to such powers as administer the particular colo nles. This larger question, affecting thu general administration of tho colonies, was considered by the council today, as well as tho particular interests involved and the discussion will be continued tomorrow morning. German East Africa. German East Africa is tho must important territorial possession involved, as tt has upward of 7,000,000 inhabitants. Besides being adjacent to the British South African commonwealth, it Is a necessary link connecting the British iu tlie south and the north, thus completing the British territorial chain between Cairo and Cape Colony. German Southwest Africa is regard ed as less important, though the harbor in Walfish bay has some advan tages. The Belgian interests are believed to be related to Southwest Africa, while the French intcrets are toward the Kameroons and Togoland, which ■adjoin. French Daliomey and the. French Congo. China's interest in the colonies is in getting buck Kiau Chow after it pusses from Germany to Japan, and also in the termination of German concessions at Tion Tsln, Shanghai and other points. Japan's interests are both In Kiau Chow and the Pacific islands. The islands are being considered iu two main groups, firest, New Guinea. Bis marck and the Samao group, in whloh Australia und New Zealand are presenting their interests; and, secondly, the Marshal, Caroline and Marianne groups, lying east of the Philippines and soutli of Japan. The first group of islands is fertile and productive; the second consists of coral islets, chiefly valuable as strategic liases. It is the whole range of colonies, once constituting Germany's hopes of world extension, that ; now under consideration In the sessions of tlie supreme council of the great powers. Finances to Consider PARIS, Jan. 28 (by the Associated Press).—Financial conditions havo entered largely into the discussion of the internationalization of the German colonies, which have been generally regarded as the chief asset of Germany, in settling war claims. While Japan has made it clear that she is willing to return the actual ter- ltory included in the Kiau Chow concession to China, she desires to retain the Gorman railways, mines and other valuable concessions in Shantung province to reimburse her for war expenditures. Australia has evinced a similar reason for claiming the New Guinea islands, und New Zealand for claiming Samoa. Japan's calims to the Marshall and Caroline groups are supported on tho same grounds, and-a similar reason is offered for the actual transfer of the German African colonies to members of tlio entente. Citfna nalMi-ttllj: objects to haying tho concessions from Germany forced from her transferred to Japan in settlement of the war claims of an ally, while it is asserted that President Wilson opposes actual annexations and Insists upon internationalization of all the Pacific and African German colonies. But under an internationalization plan thn entente powers aro unable to see how their claims against Germany would be met, and objection has been raised that if actual transfer of the colonies is not made to certain powers in settlement of war claims, the chief asset of Germany would be.eliminated, as the nation to whose guardianship the 'cblomes was entrusted by the league of nations could not consider them its property. Official Report PARIS, .Tan. 28.—The official com- munication issued today on the peaco proceedings read as follows: "The president of the United States, tbe prime ministers and foreign ministers of tbo United States, the British empire, France and Italy, and the representatives of Japan, held two i".ieet- ings today, the. first from 11 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., and the second from 4 to G.30 p.m. "Ah exchange of views took place on the German colonies in the Far East and the Pacific and those in Africa.

London Paper Opinion LONDON, Jan. 28.—The Standard, in an editorial today, says that although the peace conference has not fully settled the questions of the disposition of Germany's colonies, it Is understood that agreements liavo been reached on the main points. These agreements include tho giving of German Southwest Africa to the South Ameriean Union, and German East Africa to Great Britain as mandator of tho league of nations, some portions being annexed to tbe Belgian Congo. The Kameroons will be chiefly French: Togoland French and British, und the Pacific islands either will be divided between Japan, Australia, und New Zealand or administered by Great Britain for the league of nations. THIRD DIVISION E Sir Edward Kemp Confirms Report That First Canadians Will Return in Spring OTTAWA, Jan. 28,—Confirmation of the statement that the third Cunadlan division, the first of the fighting divisions from Canada to return home, will probably sail from England about March 1, is contained in a cablo from Sir Edward Kemp, overseas minister of militia, received ut military head- Mi.arters today.

Mr. Houston, w-no lias had considerable experience in influenza nursing both in Nelson and on the prairie, having assisted during the recent epidemic, volunteered to go up to the mlno, and left the city on Saturday morning at 6:30 on the Nasookin. He arrived at Kitto's Landing two hours later and started out for the mine on foot. He traveled on the road as far as Camp I., where he round a pair of snowshoes. With the use of these he tried to make his way across to 'the mine, about eight miles away, but he found that as many as six slides had come dqwn between the tyimp and the mill. However, he kept going, making his way over the slides until lie got to where the slide in which Victor Nelson lost his life, bat tlio trail from there was completely covered with Snow by a blizzard. A.s it was then 0 o'clock as night and the miners lamps wbieh be was carrying wore impossible to keep alight, Mr. Houston decided that It was hopeless to continue the journey that nlglit, so ho returned to the mill.

Five others were ill, and the seven men had been under tho care of an Italian for ten days previous, but this man was about played out when Mr. Houston arrived on the scene. Mr. Houston was consequently the only man at the mine to care for all t>-so people and he had to do all the cooking and be doctor and nurse in addition. Mr. Houston had to break the windows to allow air into the shack, as it was buried under 20 feet of snow, witli only the smoke stack visible.

How can thoy continue the struggle to maintain and develop an export trade, u cour.se which is being strongly urged upon them, if the Canadian market is suddenly invaded by competitors from other countries po; of anything approaching free trade would create Immediate and widespread unemployment. Unemployment Breeds social unrest, something which does not require encouragement in Canada at the present time. "During tlie last fiscal year the total Dominion government revenue was ?2fl(.,77S.9B2, of which $116,577,060 was collected hy the customs tariff and $46,018,652 by tbe special war tariff. The total federal revenue from all forms of taxation was $214,182,166 and of this amount the tariff collected over 75 per cent.*' ... 61 Per Cent, of Revenue "In view of tbe fact that last year tho tariff provided over 61 per cent, of the total revenue of Canada and over 75 per cent, of tho total secured by all forms of federal taxation, it seems reasonable to suggest that we should no throw away this means of securing revenue until we havo found something whicli can be guaranteed to take Us place, especially ln view of tbo Dominion government's announcement that a revenue of $450,000,000 will bo required to meet this year's cxpen diture, an Increase of about $100,000,000 over last year. If the tariff is abolished, how will the grain growers propose to raise this revenue? They answer this question by advocating a tax on unimproved land, and increased tux and hy the extension of the personal Income tax and a tax in the profits of corporations which are now in operation In Canada, "Thoso forms of taxation, however, while capable of producing a certain amount of revenue, though by means of costly and complicated machinery, are not so strictly limited by the well known law of diminishing returns; that Is, no countries found it posslblo to rely solely upon them for revenue, Necessary to United States "The United States, for example, which under tho democratic regime of Prosldent Wilson increased such taxes, still finds It necessary to retain a protective tariff. "As tho future fiscal policies will not bo determined until after tho peacp conference, Canada would be most un wiso to consider any chango until the general trend of international tariff bo- comes apparent, whllo it is impossible to forecast what trado policies -will survive.

A number of familiar New York landmarks will appear in the screen ' version of "The House of Glass," the new Select production featuring Clara I Kimball Young and her own company. Jefferson Market and the Penn station, Blackwell's island and the Tombs all figure prominently in the action of the play, and several scenes have been "shot" at each location. ■ < That the novelty of playmaking in public places has not yet lost its flavor was amply proved during the taking of thes scenes. In each case Hiss Young was quickly recognized and she and her players surrounded by an interested and admiring throng. The house of glass Is that in which dwells a prosperous railroad head who, as ho is sternly pressing the prosecution of a young employee caught stealing, learns at last through the very detective whose work he is backing up that his own wife is an ex-convict. This stirring American melodrama was adapted by Charles 11 Whlttaker and directed by Emlle Chautard, and Is a Select Star Series production. It will be shown here at the Starland theatre today. Alice Brady, the star in many world pictures Brady-made, Is stared in the new world pictures, "Tho Spurs of Sybil," Miss Brady has had many successful roles in her career, but surely never one more unique than the assumes In this supreme photoplay. In "The Spurs of Sybil," Miss Brady is seen in the role of Sybil Drew, who is dependent upon her Aunt Annabelle for support and who is anything but happy. The aunt decldes4that Sybil's unhappiness is due to h'sr dependent condition and so the aunt makes this announcement to the young lady: "For one year beginning the first of September, you will win your spurs by earning your own living. You will never be happy so long as you continue In this enervating atmosphere. By winning your spurs you will be happy. If you don't do this you will get no more of my money and will not participate in my estate." Sybil's pride was aroused by this announcement and she started out with just ^125 in her purse. Her adventures were many and surprising, not the least of them being the fact that she wns considered a crook by Dr. Ross Alger, tbo man she fell in love with. But finally Sybil won her spurs, but not at all in the way you would expect. You'll like "The Spurs of Sybil." See it tonight at the Gem theatre. greater portion of the population of Canada. Both political parties, while in power, adhered to it, differing only slightly In regard to the decree of protection which should be maintained. Under this policy Canada progressed so continuously la agriculture, in industry and in commerce that it i.s doubtful if there existed a nation in the war whose people were more intelligent, more prosperous or less burdened by. taxation. "During tho war Canada enlisted an army of over half a million. We clothed them, fed them and maintained them and their dependents until (he great task was victoriously completed. Such a feat could have been accomplished only by a nation in which ull deparaments of activities were woll balanced and equally developed. Farms, factories, commercial institutions, banks, transportation companies and wage-earners) havo all profited. We have come this distance safely and skilfully. Is this then the time to urge the peoplo of Canuha to return from a road which they have traveled ln security, alike in peaie and war, on to a new and untried road, tho ultimate advantages which can only be sur- dlsed.

"Tho manufacturers of Canada with the loyal cooperation of their great army of workers, did not fall the coun try during the war. At its start, industry was threatened with acute depression, but the manufacturers did not hesitate. They mustered the problems of war production. They organ ized their staffs, rebuilt their plants and placed them on a war basis. The result .was that towards tho closo of tho war, thoy were employing about 700,000 people nt the highest wages ever.paid in this country, supplying tho needs of Canada, supplying tho army and exported goods to the valuo of $700,000,000 annually.

It' Is moro disagreeable to speculate how many days longer tho wur might have been protracted but for the important part Canadian factory production played in furnishing the munitions and equipment, so vital for success . The manufacturers who trasnform od Canadian industry from peace ti war.are not afraid of the task of transforming it back again from war to peace, but they ask for liberty to devote their entire energy to its accomplishment. Therefore, the Canadian Manufacturers association bo- Ueves that the country should concentrate on the one tusk of returning to peaco conditions with all Us attendant questions, and leave tho highly controversial problems of tariff revision to a time when it can be given the undivided attention it demands."

NEWT YORK, Jan. 28.—Trading in stock, today was largely Influenced by United States Steel, whose directors were to meet after the close of the market to approve the financial statement for the last quarter of 1918 and act on tho company dividend. During the first half of the session United States Steel rose and fell within clr cumsciibed limits, but moderate buying of that stock as well as kindred issues and rails imparted a strong tone later, although steel forfeited the best part of its large fractional gain at tho end. In keeping with general expectations tho extra dividend on steel was reduced from 1 to 2 per cent, thus placing the stock nominally on a 9 per cent basis. The .quarterly statement, disclosing a surplus of barely $3,00.,- 000 is of Itself sufficient explanation for the cut In tho dividend. Other features of the stock market embraced tho belated inquiry for rails, notably St..

Small gravity irrigation ditches as an aid to mixed farming have been successful in many portions of British Columbia, according to the. fotlowlng paper on the subject written by W. J. 13. Biker,of tfilf* city, district engineer. Water Rightp branch: Farm Unit Scheme "As a basis or justification for the main theme It is- desired to present to you in this paper, we have in every locality in Southeastern British Columbia certain outstanding men who, In spite of every difficulty associated with frontier farming, it is found that 99 per cent have allied themselves to ,the smnll gravity ditch, ns an aid to mixed farmlnfr. There would appear to bo no frood reason why these successes, hy careful guidance nnd> selection ol' iand and farmer, could not bo made general nt this time. "We have all accepted tho truism 'a chain is no stronger than its weakest H_vV or, in other words, that the collective or community Interests is only so strong as the individual who forms part of the whole. Therefore, in the final analysis of any problem, the individual is the governing factor on which our fabric of human effort in any sphere of operations depends. In other words, it is tho labor of one man, the one man farm or farm unit scheme, coupled with tho small gravity irrigation ditch where possible, that I want to bring to your attention as possessing a nucleus for tho successful solution of our land problemin British Columbia. Tho above assertion Is believed to bo correct for many rensone, but th-*"* chief element to bo noticed is, that in British Columbia the man on the land is essentially home builder. T therefore see in every farmer a prospective, potential asset to the province as a home.maker, to be guided, helped and surrounded with such conditions (given the personal capacity) in which he can make good. "It may be said, that a country's capacity for successful home building— apart from its natural conditions and attractions—depends to a certain extent; on the successful administration of that country. If tho above analysis so briefly stated Is basically correct, wherein is it necessary to look into the administration of land settlement policies, in order that we may create the condition necessary to contented agriculture? Erroneous Ideas It is because of an optimism born of experience with regard to land de velopment in tho province that I am tempted Into detail and probably to quote ideas already within your knowledge. There is in the minds of many an erroneuoa idea in reference to tlie taking up or pre-emption of land: in many cases it would appear that tho pre-empter is looking for something for nothing, as it were, never troubling at tho Inception to stop to consider the possibility of a continuity of policy, or making good on the land. That the pioneer has often, unfortunately, found himself overcome in this unequal fight against conditions wjilch he failed to appraise, is evidenced by the many deserted homes and vacant pre-emptions with unfinished irrigation works, reverting to the owner or Grown. In many cases tho speculation in land has been very evident. "Under conditions prevailing up to this timo whon an application Is received by a government agent for the staking of iand, what interest or latitude did the administration allow that official in assessing the applicant's capacity for making good, or In the event of allowing the land to bo occupied, that there existed on the claim sufficient good land (apart from the personal equation) to create a nucleus for a good farm? The procedure at this stage is of the utmost Importance, nnd alone Is responsible for many of the failure of the past. The suggestion is mado at this point, that the administration should satisfy themselves and know of a certainty that our future settlers are nol taking so many chances on the land, as hereto fore. By far tho greatest acreage in tho province is suitable for diversified or mixed farming, and even with careful selection and allocation it will be found a problem to allot sufficient good land for hay growing purposes tn go wilh the vast areas of grazing land. This brings the subject back to what acreage should constitute a mixed or diversified farm unit, and this is whero lho small gravity irrigation ditch will help out. Why is this so? Because, for comparative purposes, nature has seo fit to endow the provinco with one hundred acres of grazing or np- land to every single aero of bottom or bench land. It would therefore seem necessary, as far as possible, to so divide our acreage, taking advantage of this unequal proportion, to. the end that, finally, (if the proportion named Is correct) ono acre of bottom or bench land carries with It ono hundred acres of growing or up-land. Products Threo Timos More "It Is an accepted fact, that with conditions identical, the irrigated land will produce three times as much as tho non-irrigated,, Therofqre, if the small or tho big irrigation ditch raises tho producing value of our, good land by throe, It needs no commendation from me. The point to bo mado. horo may be more fully appreciated in tho following example:- Assume for this purposo, that ono man can handle—, with extra help In haying timet—from 25 to 30 head of stock composed of cattlo, horses and hogs. To support that numbor of stock through the average winter It will take about four and pnorhnlf tons per head of hay or ensilage. An ncro of good land, with irrigation, will produce lour to four and one-half tons of fodder. Without Irrigation, in many of the dry districts very little can be grown, but in this locality frorn one to one and one-half tons per acre la a very good cut. On this basis you con see at once that the farm unit of good land under the ditch would be about thirty acres, and without the ditch about ninety acre* to carry- on exactly the same operations, with, as much up-land for summer pasturage as can be allotted. "The above comparison has been made for the purpose of eliciting an expression of opinion from this convention, in so far as it represents tho governing factor in relation to individual effort on a farm unitl scale. Small Ditch "It has.been my aim so far to try and establish or weave into our present economic condition the true position of tne small ditch, and it will now be my endeavor to try and convince the farmer that he can be his own engineer and contractor if he so wishes. In the event of uncertainty existing as to the best method or system to adopt, I want to say to that man, that the services of the Water Branch officials are at his disposal, because, as an administration, we are vitally interested in the increased production from every a-pre of land. "For -the purpose of this paper, we have assumed that thirty acres of irrigated land comprises a fnrm unit, and with your permission I want to take a typical example with average conditions, of how the farmer may best deliver the water to the land. Kvery- thing with him at the inception is tentative, and unless he is fortified with an income other than that obtained from his farming operations, the first few years will be quite a struggle. At this stage, even his own labor must be included in the estimate, since It Pf-B** ■j11ides returns from other spheres ot work. It is absolutely essential toy givu all factors due consideration, sine* a failure at the beginning often m*MU» the abandonment of the land and. a retreat to town or city, where eondi* tions seem to be more congenial. "You will notice that the'last statement is qualified by the pord.Jseem,' and rightly so, for it is helfl.by 'thflp-f of much larger experience ttaa,Jti»: author, that a greater degree of independence, comfort, contentment an<l happy home environment can be had] under mixed farming conditions than. in any other sphere of human en« ^eavor. j Directions for Application The flrnt step necessary for the pro-' tectioo-u; the would-be irrigator. If h« has acquired land to which a water right is not appurtenant, is to go to the local water recorder, or dietrict engineer, and make application for the quantity he wishes to divert. In tho Nelson district' where in the average season we have twelve inches of rainfall during the growing period, the; department allows one acre-foot per acre. In the case under consideration the farmer should apply for thirty acre-feet. This quantity represents a continuous flow of 0.126 C. F. S. over a period of 120 days. However, since. this flow is so small and would en-. tall tbe loss of water by seepage and evaporation, time in irrigating, and, crops by not getting over the ground} quick enough, it is suggester that the. smallest head that can be economically uBod is 1.50 C. F. S., or nearly nine and- one-half imperial gallons per second. Under the department's allowance of 30 acre-feet, this would give three irrigations to a depth over the land of four Indies each, and allow his three and one-half days of 24 hours each irrigation A ditch to carry this amount of water would be 1G inches on the bottom, six to seven inches dejep (in water), and located on a grade of one (Conlnued on Page Seven.)

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1818 .-.COMMERCIAL AVIATION Commercial aviation presents greater difficulties than war aviation. Greater safety is a fundamental of the successful establishment of air transportation' lines. In wartime aviators will risk their lives with the gallantry and fearless spirit which have made the exploits of the airmen one of the most" spectacular and romantic features of the Titanic struggle which ended Nov. 11. But to face death every second is not the business of the man engaged in commerce. Neither will passengerB travel in vehicles which cannot offer reasonable security. It is the fact that air travel is being made safe with a rapidity which Is hardly realized that causes it to seem probable that forecasts of the establishment of lines of airships which will ply regularly over the Atlantic, across Canada and even across the Pacific—in fact, around the world—will prove well founded In the next decade. During the grent war Great Britain, ln spito of the tremendous energy it devoted to military aviation, found time to devote Itself effectively to the development of plans for commercial aviation. Super-zeppelin development has made great progress, it is now learned, In the old country, while remarkable results have been achieved in the construction of heavier than air machines capable of carrying a large number ot passengers. CANADIANS ARE TRUE TO THEIR RECORD In a letter, Arthur Graham, one of the "Kootenay soldiers now somewhere in Germany, brings up a point which recalls General Currle's order issued about the timo the Canadians set out for the Rhine territory. Tho Cana dlan general urged his soldiers to act as men and to keep up the fine repu tation in the hour of conquest which It had won in times of adversity. "I understand they were very nervous,*' says the Nelson soldier with reference to the Huns, "as to the coming of- the troops. They expected us to copy the example of their own troops in Belgium and France, I suppose, even if only In a slight degree. However, the conduct of the fellows has amazed them. It has been most ex emplary. . . . The fellows might be in one of our own towns for all tho misconduct there has been.' ' ' These words from one of the boys are even more convincing than it thoy came from a general or one of the allied statesmen. Canada has the most potent of reasons for pride in the conduct of its men, whether in retirement, ln victorious advance or in oecupatlo nofi enemy territory. To the German mind, trained In the belief that victory Justifies the foulest of brutality to the conquered, tho conduct of the Cattadians is naturally surprising. boozem friend of British Columbia, says Turner's Weekly. President Wilson has a fine limousine to get around In on peace conference duties. Wonder if he remembers when he visited England and Scotland In 1908 and pedalled around the country on a bicycle? An exchange says ironically that It seems unfair that the cx-kalser, who eally started the war, Is getting nothing out of It except a whole lot of misery. It also suggests that ho ought to get commissions on the fortunes he made for some of the Germnn powder factories and gun works. COMMUNICATION -* THE SUBMARINE IN PEACE TIME To the Editor of The Daily News: Sir,—Now, while the peace conference is on, It would not bo advisable to abandon the submarine for at least number of years. The submarine luring peace time can be used to good advantage reclaiming valuable cargoes that have been sent to the bottom of the ocean. The submarine may reclaim the ocean's hidden treasures; also Increase the food supply, aid navigation and inder-sea engineering science, that iravo the world the submarine. It may settle the future of the scorpion of the .deep by providing means to completely neutralize the sting of the hidden monster. Indeed, It is not altogether unlikely that when the curtain Is fully lifted and the remarkable exploits of our naval scientists repealed it will be found that the U- ,ioat has been robbed of its terror, and now. slnco the war Is over,- the submarine will become ven- useful ln reclaiming valuable cargoes sent lying the bed of the ocean caused by the U-boat. According to reports there must be hundreds of ships which were sunk tiy the U-boats lying on the bed of the ocean In the English chnnnel and the North sea, where the water is quite shallow and no doubt somo of these boats can be raised. In order to accomplish the great work of reclaiming those ships with their cargoes, tlie submarine will be tne best friend they have got. Probably they will have to'give them a little more raising power In* order to bring things to the "surface, such as merchandise and such like, but no doubt science can find a way. Navigation under Ice fields Is another peace pursuit mapped out for the submarine. Ports bound with Ice fields the greater part of the year may be made communicable, according to submarine engineers. Exploring In the vicinity of the north pole is also hinted at by those who are studying the subject. P. J. HARRIS. Balfour, B.C., Jan. 28. GERMAN SPIES AT WORK IN THE ORIENT The Indian Sedition committee report has only recently beon published. It deals with various minor conspiracies, most of which had their origin from pro-German agitations in the United States. Tho report quotes the conclusion of tho tribunal in the third Lahore conspiracy case to the effect that the headquarters of the '-Juga.atar Asram" at San Francisco was placarded with a sheet "Do not fight the Germans; they are our friends." The literature printed at the Ghadr offices was taken away personally by the German consul for distribution among the the Indians everywhere Germany pnid for Indian agents to be sent to Afghanistan, Slam, Manilla, Thibet and Turkey, from America to stir up trouble against Britain. The German consul-general ln Mew York was forwarding Indian revo- 'utionarles at his own expense to Germany to help in such ways ns they could. A witness, once a paid agent of Germany, deposed to being thus sent to Berlin early ln 1915. He thore mot Hardayal and the other leaders of an Indian revolutionary society. This society, which aimed at establishing a republic In India, held constant meetings attend«d by Turks, Egyptians, German officials and, most noteworthy of all, Gorman ex- professors and ex-missionaries, who, in their time hnd received the hospitality ot the British government In India. Hardayal nnd Chatt'-padhyya were in dally communication w'th the German foreign office. Tn carry out tho revolution In India th«re was nn Oriental bureau for translating and disseminating Inflammatory litcra'uro to nrlsoner of war In Germany. Inflammatory letters drafted by the German government and addressed to Indian nri-iccs as from the German authorities were translated and pr'nted, nnd meetings were held In whloh the common obpects of India and G-rmnny wero dilated upon, these meetl-gs being sometimes presided over by highly- olaced Gorman officials. The witness wns sent back to America and roported his arrival to the consul-general, who put him ln communication with Gupta and ono Wehde, a German whose particular mission was to convey $20,000 of German money to the revolutionaries in India. Gorman Instigation Is a marked feature of the record In respect to Burma. Thero were no Indigenous conspiracies there connected with tho Indian revolutionary movement; but there were To the Editor of The Daily News: Sir—A special despatch from Edmonton dated Jan. 23, and which appeared in your Saturday's issue states that the Creston board of trade forwarded 10 boxes of apples to tbe convention of the United Farmers of Alberta as a gift from the Creston growers and ','with a view of introducing its product on the prairie market." While the source from which this despatch had Its origin may remain In doubt, its author is entirely in error as to the objects which this board hoped to achieve by this gift. Happily Creston apples introduce themselves wherever they go without any special effort on our part. Whether the United Farmers of Al berta like British Columbia apples or not, the fnct remains that year after ear they come to live In this province and especially in this valley. The gift of 10 boxes of apples was purely- to advertise the Creston district, and to show any prospective fruit growers amongst the hundreds attending the convention JUBt what this valley can oo in tho way of fruit growing. Perhaps we achieved our purpose, at any rate the convention quite unnecessarily deprived Itself of somo very fine _pples. aUY CONSTABLE, President Creston Board of Trade. Creston, B. C, Jan. 27. FEW REMINDERS OF RAIDS invade Burma and foment rebellion by Indian troops and the military police.' ... In the first conspiracy case in Mnndnlay a number of conspirators were brought to Justice and punished and fresh evidence was afforded of the activity of the Germans and the Ghadrites ln Bangkok, indications of which had become apparent also in connection with other German schemes in the far East The Mahomedun Ghadr party, at Rangoon aro known to have planned a rising on the occasion of the Bakr- ld in' October, 1915, when English were to be killed "Instead of goats and cows." Tho rising was, however, postponed until Dec. 25, as their arrangements were not complete. During November a Ghndr plot in the military police battalion at Pyawbwe was discovered, and revolvers, dynamite and other things to be used in the mutiny were seized, .Our previous summaries showed thnt the Ghndr movement in the Pu-n Jnb "came within an ace of causing widespread bloodshed," which was only prevented by the emergency powers conferred by the Defense of India act, and that western India, under Poona Brahman influence, was the seedbed of the revolutionary movement. There, as in southern India, there was close connection with tho Paris anarchists— Krishnavarma and Mmo. Coma. Tho central provinces, like other parts of India, were viBitcd by a Bengali emissary early In 1915, with the object of Inducing troops in garrison to Join ln tlio rising planned by the Ghadr party for the month of Februry. The history of the effort is held to provide a "neat illustration of tho way in which a revolutionary from outsido sows evil seed In a place free from indlgnous disaffection, and also of the way ln which by firm action taken in time, mischief can be arrested." These are no more than indications of the remarkable and significant disclosures of a historic report by a committee of distinguished Jurists. -*» (From The Dally Miner.) Police Magistrate E. A.

On the other hand Burma was the scene of "determined efforts to stir up mutiny among the military forces and to overthrow the British government. Such efforts have originated in America, have 'been concentrated at Bungok, und thence, with the assistance of Germans, have been dlcrtcted from the Siamese frontier igalnst Burma." In the work of suborning Indian troops the Turkish allies of Germany participated. Intercepted copies of a Turkish paper, the Jahan-i-Islam, containing articles In Arabic, Turkish and Hindi, reported a speech of Envcr Pasha In which he said: "This is the time that the Ghadr should be declared in India. The magazines of the English should be plundered, their weapons looted and they should be killed therewith. The Indians number 32 croixs (320,000,000), at the best, and the English (In India), are only two lakhs (200,000); they should be murdered; they have no army. The Suez canal will shortly bo closed by the Turks. Hindus and Ma- homedans, you aro both soldiers of the army, and you are brothers, and this low, degraded English is your enemy; you should become ghazls by d-Clarlng Jihad and by combining with your brothers, murder the English and liberate India." In November, 1914, the 130th Ba- luchls arrived ln Rangoon from Bombay, having boen transferred there punishment for murdering one of their officers. The regiment consisted chiefly of Mohammedans. Dis affected coreligionists contaminated them with the tenets of the Ghadr newspaper, "and by January, 1915, the regiment was thoroughly disaffected and ready for mutiny. Tho rising was, however, nipped ln tho bud on Jan. 21 by timely and drastic action on the part of tho military authorities, who punished 200 of tho plotters." Attempts were also made to tamper with the military police at Burma, a forco numbering 15,000 mon, and recruited chiefly from the Sikhs and Punjabi Mohammedans. In AugUBt, 1915, Sohan Lai Pa- thak, who was a direct emissary from the Ghadr headquarters in Sap Francisco, met somo men of the mountain battery stationed at Maymyo. He harangued them on the folly of aorving the government, and endeavored to seduce them from their alio glance. The men, however, proved loyal, and their Jemadar succeeded ln capturing Sohan Lai, who had on his person three automatic pistols and 270 cartridges. Five days later the police arrested his confederate, Na ryan Singh, who had beon employed on a railway in Slam and had come across the frontier from that state. This was not an Isolated caso of attempt to induce mutiny and rebellion Irom tho Siamese frontier Thore Is ample evidence that tho Ghadr party In America, ln conjunction with the Germans, Intended to train Sikhs re turning to India to the use of arms In places along the railway which was bolng built ln northern Slam in the direction of Burma, largely by German engineers and Psnjabi workmen, to ment to the best of its ability.

LUCKY HORSESHOE TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY. TEN YEARS AGO TODAY ham that it will be upon him before ho even begins to suspect its presence. Thero is, however, another way of approach, the way through the Black Country, "a reek by day and a blaze by night," Just as ono vast city under different names, of which Birmingham, with all Its Immensity, Is only a fraction. Birmingham, indeed, has about It an Indescribable air of having escaped from the Black Country, for beyond It, "at the other side," lies nothing but the open land onco again, land the very names ln which, to those who know it, havo always been associated with tho countryside. Now both views are necessary In order to understand Birmingham, for tho "vast semicircular amphitheatre, with masses of houses broken by innumerable factory chimneys," as one writer has de scribed the city, has always had i grent Idea and high Ideal of the am cnitles of civil jlifo." Indeed this view I to a very large extent, Its chief characteristic. If Manchester stands for solid political weight nnd worth, Birmingham stands for civic ability and civic achievement. To those who have caught tho temper ot the town the Lord Mayor nnd corporation never suggests the notorious "paving committee." The city government is surrounded by a wondTful tradition Inaugurated by a great statesman, for those who know the story can never forget that before Joseph Chamber- tain became a great national statesman he had beon a great municipal statesman, and before ho had been a great colonial minister he had been a groat chief magistrate of his tia- tivo city of Birmingham. Mention of Chamberlain suggests another characteristic of Birmingham, Its extraordinary loyalty to i family or a cause. This is, of course, all quite recent history, and those who recall the political struggle of 1906, and 'the two {great trials of strength ln 1910, will remember the way ln which the "massif of Birmingham" stood untouched amidst Ihe ebb and flow around it, and "A solid Birmingham," and -*We are seven" were the catchwords of the day.

That superstition, as a constituent part of human nature, is a scientific fact we are not prepared to vouchsafe but that the majority of people hold such nn inherent belief and are at times moro or less affected by its Influence none will deny. And as far as tokens of this human vagary are concerned probably none. Is more popular or more universally accepted than the common horseshoe. We know not whether It be by accident or design, but It Is nevertheless a fact that the table now. being used at the peace conference In France Is of horseshoe design. If the realization of the earnest and ardent wishes of mankind for futuro peace and happiness ever carried any weight or was most urgently needed now Ib the psychological time; and if "luck" plays any part in tho affairs of men or the destinies of nations then tho fervent hope of the civilized world Is that It will on this occasion throw a halo over the peace conference and bestow Upon those present a benign attitude which will effectively characterize all their thoughts, deliberations and actions In such a manner and to such an extent as to enable them to harmoniously accomplish all that will make or tend towards an enduring peace between the various peoples of the world—the nations wish It and common Justice demands it.

POOLE DRUG CO. and at the best drug store in overy town and city in the country. (By Dally News.Leased "Wire.) TORONTO, 'Ont., Jan. 28.—Ottawa sprang the biggest surprise of the season when they defeated Arenas hero tonight, by a score of 2 to 1. The teams were tied 1-1 at the full tlmo and it required 16 minutes of extra play before Cameron made a dash from end to end, skated round the local defense and beat Lindsay for tho winning goal. The losers missed numerous opportunities to score and were not helped any by Benedict's brilliant performance in the Ottawa net. The win placed the Senators at the head of the race for the second section honors, they having won both games played and these away from home. The game was easily the most exciting seen here this winter, and the largo crowd of spectators were on their feet the greater part of the time.

VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 28.—The first game for the world's 1919 hockey championship will be played on Tuesday, March 18, if the suggestion of Frank Patrick, president of the Pacific Coast hockey league, is agreeable to the National hockey league, whose president, Frank Calder, has asked Patrick to submit suitable dates, officials and other details for the big series. President Patrick today sent a letter to the eastern league's head naming a tentative list of dates, and also suggesting that the two circuits agree upon a uniform set of rules to govern world's series, but not necessarily for the leagues to follow during their own playing season. The dates are as follows: First game, Tuesday, March 18; second game, Friday, March 21; third game, Monday, March 24; fourth game, if necessary, Monday, March 2G, and mates, and received many a bump, but j the fifth, If necessary, Friday, March nevertheless ho played sensational hockey and scored both goals for the visitors. His last effort was masterfully executed and the Ottawa players showered him with congratulations. Play traveled from one end of the arena to the other during the entire 76 minutes, with amazing swiftness, and both goalkeepers worked hard stopping the goals. Lineup: Ottawa—Benedict, Cleghorn, Cameron, Gerrard, Denenny, Nighbor; substitutes, boucher and Broadbent. Arenas—Lindsay, Mummery, Randall, • Skinner, Noble, Crawford; substittes, Denenny, Adams, Meeking and Ritchie. Officials—L. Marsh and S. Vair. Summary: First period—Ottawa, Cameron, 8:00; second period, Arenas Mummery. 3:00; third period — no score; overtime—first period, no score; second period, Ottawa, Cameron 16:00.

The Seattle Arena was to have closed on March 27, but If Seattle Is tho coast winner and five games are necessary, it is thought arrangements can be made to keep the rink open an extra day. President Patrick would agree to six- man hockey Tor world's series in future, in order to have a uniform set of rules, though the coast will stick to the seevn-man system for its own games •is public opinion here, amo«g both players and fans, Is strong for seven men. Besides the six-man game the coast league president suggests rules as follows: A centre ice space of 55 feet. This would be a compromise between the eastern and western styles, the west having a space of 70 feot and tho east of 40. The penalty system as used in the east for major and match fouls and three-minute penalties without substitutes for minor fouls, and tho delayed penalty system, allowing but one man off at a time, except In the last ten minutes of a game and In major or match fouls. While the western circuit would be practically agreeing on eastern style for the scries, Mr. Patrick is making this offer so there wiU.be no oliblB, and so everybody will lie clear as to the kind of rules used. It is to the players' interest to see that the series does not last any longer than necessary, as they cease drawing remuneration after the third game. The visiting team gets its expenses out of proceeds; tho arena hi which they are played gels a stipulated percent age, and the balance of the first three games is divided among the players of both teams, the wlnnefs taking GO per cent, and tho losers 40. The two clubs get a share of the fourth or fourth and fifth game, if played. DITCHES ON FARM ROBINSON HEARS WINNERS OF THE O. H. A. TO GET TRIP (By Daily News Leased Wire.)

(Continued from Page Three.) inch fall to the rod. This may appear a heavy grade to many people, but the formations in the district are not very erosive. Laying Out Ditohes •'lit laying out supply ditches, an en gineer's level and rod are the most adaptable instruments to use, for those who are able to use them. When such instruments are not available, a useful substitute consists of an ordinary carpenter's level attached to a straight edge, or w deri frame, such as the sample here exhibited. You will notice at each end of the straight edge a cross bar, to bo used in conjunction with a boning rod which Is exactly the same length as the shorter leg. In locating a ditch In this way it will often be found that a choice of line can be taken, and in sending a man ahead with the boning rod and sighting from the cross bars attached to tho level—which is set up on grade— a grade point some distance ahead is found, which can be made use of In avoiding obstacles or bad ground, Farm ditches should be located in tho right place at the start. It Is mistake to build ditches for the lower part of a farm, and in subsequent years when there ts a desire to irrigate the remainder, to be obliged to build socond ditch for the higher ground. We will, therefore, start with the Improved carpenter's level at the high point on tho farm, on the line of the proposed ditch to the creek. The grade for this purpose is assumed to be one nch per rod and since our level is me rod in length and tho proposed ditch one mile in length, It will be necessary to apply the level 320 times n this distance. "In constructing a ditch of this haracter, It is necessary in this dis trict tp first clear the right-of-way of all small trees and brush, wide enough for a team to pass, care nelng taken in the location to avoid all large stumps or rocks. With one man walk- ng between a team, a bit ln each hand, and another man on the yuow, three or four furrows are plowed, turning them over to the lower side of the ditch. Tho loose material Is removed with the air of a V-crowder or plank scraper to the side of the ditch that requires building up, followed up by two moro plow furrows nnd finished by hand labor. "This brings our project to the diversion of the stream from which water must be taken, and in this regard it seems to be tho prevailing Idea to build a dam. These structures in the past, in the majority of cases, have been somewhat expensive, Inefficient and a deterrent to would-be irrigators with a small bank account. Having seen so- many log-crib, rocU-fill. dams, ln mining, lumbering and Irrigation schemes, that fail to fill the purpose for which they wero designed, I' set out to attain the purpose of a head- works in another form, which is seen to advantage in the model beforo you. The flood waters In most of the creeks in this section of the country represent approximately from forty- five to fifty times the low flow, and carry down with them sand, gravel and general debris. The result is that tho high water following the constructions of lho dams has, almost without exception, rendered them useless as control dams, by filling them to the top with this material. Agu'n, the intakes are often quite a distance from tho farm, thereby making maintenance an expensive item. In view of tho Importanco ot this ono feature, I claim tho model before you, which h s been named the 'G-.li.ly Bear,' or 'Solf- Cieanlng intake,' fulfills the requirements of a heudgutc, since It is simple, economic, elastic, almost automatic in Its action, and Immune from destruc tion by floods. It will work equally well from 0.10 C. F. S. to 500 C. F. S. and more, if so desired, being simply a matter of size and materials used in Its erection. The form of construction assures the elimination of all gravel and slit; also* all matters in surface suspension, such as the seed of noxious weeds, leaves, bark and chips, all of which give troublo, If allowed to enter the ditch. "The 'Grizzly' box is sunk In the creek bed, with the bars at about the level of the bod of tho creek. It Is therefore seen that all, or as much water {is Is required, can be diverted. Tho only attention necessary is the setting of ihe gate admitting the flow to the ditch. "The cost of tills form of diversion is so small, it is claimed, that one or two years' maintenance costs of the log dam typo will pay for a new diversion to this design. Distribution of Water. "In laying out thoso permanent ditches, an effort should bo made to locate them along field or fence boundaries, if possible, in order not to obstruct the passage of teams and farm Implements in fields. Whon the grade is too steep to permit this, a curved or approaching a contour location should be chosen, in which case thoy become the margins or fence lines. The carpenter's level and boning rod will be found almost Indispensable for this work. "The methods of applying water to land differ widely, becauso of tho diversity of soils and sub-soils, In climate and topography, In tho nature of lho water right, the prevailing crops lo bo grown, and the training and skill of the farmer. The standard methods may be grouped under the following heads, viz.: Border system, check method, flooding from field laterals, and furrow irrigation.

It can be profitably employed on slopes that arc too steep for other methods. Fields have a fairly firm soil and a fall of 25 feet to 100 feet (or 1 In 4, have been successfully Irrigated, and from this extreme the slope may diminish to less than 0.10 of a foot in 100 feet. "The low cost of irrigating under this method Is another feature which recommends It to the farmer of limited means. Ordinary cleared land can be prepared for flooding at a cost of from $3.00 to $6.00 per acre, when it s considered that it is not unusual to make changes in' the natural surface. "Many soils cannot be successfully irrigated by flooding or surface application, for the reason that very light soils wash when flooded, anil a crust forms on the surface, or becomes, in mechanical terms, 'case hardened.' Also when alfalfa Is grown on soils that bake, it is usually watered by furrows. These are easily made by a furrowing sled formed of two 4x6s, 6-0 long, shaped, and framed together at 3-foot centres. Feed ditches are laid out across the field, as nearly paral- high that the greatest profits can be obtaining by feeding it to live stock. When sold by the ton in the open market tlie net profits vary between wide limits. The average price for the last five years in Nelson is approximately $25 per ton, and at this time in this locality It is $35 per ton. "At this point the real estate man would get very busy with his pencil and work out the profits from 30 acres of alfalfa at 4K tons per acre as $25 per ton. But we are on a farm, nd the stability which characterizes its operations, to the man who has a continuity of poliey, leads him to the conclusion that he must maintain his fertility of soil, and this factor calls for rotation of crops. We will therefore divide his 30 acres to allow for this rotation as follows: 15 acres alfalfa or clover; 10 acres home pasture and five acres in roots and garden. "For tlie purpose of showing how a farmer cannot afford to be without a ditch when it is possible, let us make a comparison of production on the 15 acres sot apart for alfalfa or clover, with and without water: "Without water—One to one and a half tons of timothy hay is good stand on average land, and the average price lei as possible, on a grade of two to. fm. the *.lst fiVt, yers for No< j tlm. six inches to 100 feet and from 300 10ty Is $26 per ton. Therefore, 15 acres to 000 feet apart. Furrows aro mado at IK tons at $26 oer ton, $585. in tlie direction of the greatest slope and according to intervening surface topography, but preferably at right angles to the feed ditches. The cost of irrigating by this meth With water—Fifteen acres of alfalfa hay at \*fc tons per acre, (two crops) at $25 per ton, $1GS7.50; less $4.33 per aero for irrigation, $64.95; $16.22.55, or i fraction under three times the pro ud is about the same as flooding from ductlon.

In light, sandy soils, having porous gravel beneath, tho length may well be reduced to 250 feet. "Where it Is possible, particularly in root aud vegetable crops, cultivation should follow irrigation as soon as the ground is dry enough to be worked. This stops the baking of soils and greatly reduces evaporation. Cost of Construction. "The cost of a small gravity irrigation scheme, similar to the ono just outlined, will now be considered. "Tho supply ditch is ono mile in length, and Its courso, under prevailing conditions of topography will, for the most part, be along stdehtll, which I have assumed for estimating purposes to average a ten degree slope. A typical cross section of a ditch of thu dimensions given, with IK to 1 sloping banks, gives an area of 3.91 square feet, or 7G5 cubic yards per mille, worked out In detail as follows: "Cost of main ditch excavation, 765 cuble yards at 25 cents, $191.25; clear In right-of-way, Including unavoidable stumps, ?60; making level and running line, $20; head gate and diver sion box, labor and materials, $85; lat orals and distribution, 30 acres at $5 per aero, $150; total, $506.25, or on tho cost per aero basis, a fraction under $17 per aero. This figure represents hired labor, hut if tlie farmer employed his own team and carried through the work himself, a saving could be made and his only cash outlay would be lumber. Yoarly Cost. The main ditch will need slashing and cleaning out every spring: Repairs to ditch and laterals, $25; labor In irrigating, 10K days of 24 hours, $63; interest on capital Invested in works, 8 per cent on $506.25, $40.50; annual rental charge for water right at 5 cents per acre-foot, 30 acre-feet, $1.50; total, $130. "Therefore the annual overhead charge against each acre irrigated Is $4.33. Profits to the Farmer. The feeding value of alfalfa is so anco sheet, nothing is left but to summarize the governing features enunciated: "1. That nature has imposed upon our agricultural development a condition. "2. That we can overcome that condition, ic we allow our upland and bottom land to bo alienated in proper proportion. "3. That tho true value of our laws, in a broader sphere, lies almost wholly in thoir application and administration. In othor words, the personal equation counts for more than the actual letter of the law. "4. The present lact of small farm development, and insofar as can bo assessed, the governing factors missing are those nf human endeavor and initiative. "5. The position of the small gravity ditch to be counted as part of the farm. "6. Place homo making ahead of mere money making. "7. That a mixed farmed can almost be independent of market and financial conditions, "8. Tbe farmer cannot afford ot bo Indifferent to the importance of crop rotation and fertility of soil by diversification. 9. That the farmer can be ills own engineer. "10. That the ditch, large or small, is a money maker when skilfully handled. 11. That where It Is possible, tho farmer cannot afford to bo without a ditch. -12, It is a recognized fact that only a small percentngo of our productive area hus, as yet, been fully developed, and there are threo directions ln which wc may look for future development: First, tho clearing and bringing under cultivation of logged-"-off lands. Second, that the bench or bottom land may be made to develop tho grazing land. Third, and not least, to secure a greater acreage under the ditch..

Wo stopped in a cavalry barracks in Bonn. It was some home. In addition to our two blankets a man the German civilians ..got busy and issued us with two more, also white sheets and pillow cases. It was some surprise. Then wo marched across the bridge past General Currle's, bayonets fixed, colors flying and bands playing. Tho civies turned out to witness tho show and got somo surprise. Another thing they didn't quite understand was the great number and magnificent condition of the horses and mules of the artillery transport. "They thought the wholo corps was on tho hike and would hardly believe us whon we said It was only ono division. I guess they have been led to believe that wo were just about all in, down and out.

However, the conduct of tho fellows has amazed them. It has heen most exemplary. Thero havo been no untoward incidents so far as I know.' Tho fellows might be in one of our own towns for all tho misconduct there has been. It sounds as if I was throwing bouquets at myself, doesn't it.

I-llectPic light receipts for the city of Nelson dropped $6000 compared iVith last year's figures, partly due to daylight saving. This reduction in rev- enus is explained by H. P. Thomas, city engl neer, on the electric light and power department, which was read at the city'council meeting on Monday nUrht, explains thit. loss of revenue; attributing it to the fact that the French Complex Ore' Iteduetlon company and the Kootenay gold mines have not been using power during 1918, and also that daylight saving had been brought into uso in the ;clty during the year. The department has made 750 service changes, hns changed on reset 521 meter.., and put in 17 new meter loops. It has also mado a seven-pole extension In Uosemont, two extensions, one of five poles, the other of three, ln Fairview; one 300-foot extension up toward the Mountain station, wired the fair building for the rose show, the poultry show and again for the annual fruit fair; installed for the fire department two new alarm boxes, one at Hendryx and Victoria streets, one at the new hospital; changed the police call lights on Baker street, decorated for the Victory loan, extended the primaries up Cemetery road, and hung a new transformer to take care of the motor at the" dairy, using 1175 feet of wiro for tho purpose. Besides all this, construction work was carried on as follows: In erecting two out of door tyro Delta-Star triple pole quick break switches on a pole structure outside the substation on the 12,000 V. lines. This work necessitated the cutting of tho power while the feeders were transferred to the Victoria street face of the buildings, and again when the work was completed to transfer them back again; thus on two occacions during the year the power was turned off the city of Nelson from midnight Saturday night to daylight Sunday morning. Apart from these two occasions the tota. interruptions for the year aggregated nlno minutes, made up as follows: Thursday, March 14, four minutes, duo to trouble on the field of No. 1 machine. Wednesday, June 12, three rr-.im.tes, due to lightning striking transformer ln substation, it taking this time to cut the tranformers clear. Thursday, Dec. 26, two miuutes, due to tripping of switch in substation. Your department put oft un exhibit at the fair, showing ranges, vacuum cleaners, floor polishers, toasters, disc stoves, combination cookors, percola tors, battery chargers, both of the Tungar and motor generator types sewing machine motors, and, in fact, all the newest appliances, all of which were ticketed showing their cost to operate on the light rate and on the new excess power rate. A now bank of 12,000 volt transformers was installed for our new consumer, Baskln & Stedmau, and wc strung for them their line from the substation to their mill up near the Eureka mine, A new extension to tho substation was also built to houso the new elec- tro-lytlc arresters which, unfortunately, arrived too la£e for the 1018 season, but should bo of great service in 1919. Besides this work other replacement work was done, such as resetting do cayed poles, replacing declayed poles, repairing the cable for the street lights which were damaged by ice forming tn the' conduit und breaking the lead covering of the wires and also all the repairs to the slreet railway overhead, the rebutting of a pole on^the 12,000 volt line' near Fortynlne creek. In addition to this work on the distribution system, much work was done at the plant. A bridge was thrown across the headrace at the plant at a point eight feet higher than the old bridge to avoid all possibility of trouble at high water. ,Thc road was changed to conform with this bridge, tt big piece of work for the number of men we had to work there; a new storehouse was built, into which waB put al lthe stores formerly scattered about In three half broken down sheds, it new cement shed was excavated at the back of the stables and a new oil house was built, obviating the necessity of taking heavy barrels of oil down the steep runway to the plant; "With the exception of the bridge this work at Bonnlngton was done by the staff latere under Mr. 'Keedham's, supervision without any assistance from town. Another matter which must be brought before you- Ib that the West Kootenay Power und Light company have not as yet been able to carry out their promise to remove from our headrace or . forebay the gravel de posited by high water two years ago and last year. Owing to the light load w'e have been carrying,, owing to the loss of 900 h. p. connected load (300 Orahtte-Poorman mill) (and 600 Complex Ore Reduction company) we have not been inconvenienced; but even as it is with the light" load we have at present, 'thb West Kootenay have on several occasions, on being notified that the gravel bar waa growing badly, sent over men to cut off the toii of the bar and pass the gravel so moved over the falls; This, however, is a pretty poor system and the situation is unsatisfactory inasmuch as every time we get a little fast water in tho headrace this bar is moved down toward our penstocks, and will be harder to get out and more dangor- ous to us the further down it is al- owed to come. In looking overthe receipts youwill doubtless be struck with the fact that the revenue is $6000 less than 1917; This loss of revenue is explained by the fact that both tho French Complex Ore Reduction company and the Kootenay Gold mines have not been using power during 1918 and also that for the first time daylight saving hae been applied here. Working from the reports of the United States light commission we find that companies having a yearly Increase of 14 per cent showed since daylight saving a decrease of 6 per cent, whie some townB, such aB Belmont, show a decrease of 14 per cent where they previously showed an Increase of 16 per cent, making approximately a loss of 80 per cent of revenue due to this daylight saving. We have here been hit ln the same way, but not to such an extent, and with the expectation of the French reduction company coming back on the line in February, and with Baskln & Stedman's mill using 100 h; i>J and the Inland Mining company using 100 h. p. more we may expecvt, daylight saving or not, to have a better revenue ln 1919 thati we can show for 1918. Much important work Wist be done hv the1 plant during 1919. First we must do our utmost to take advantage of the uhwaterlng of our intake canal by the West Kootenay in order to grout thoroughly some crack in the rook bottom and north side of the canal and to make a' change in the hoisting arrangement for our head gates and our pilot gates, both of which arc at present most unsatisfactory. Next No. 1 waterwheel must come apart, as the inlet gate-ring studs have become badly torn, so that there is full H-lnch play on each side and It is impossible to closo the gates enough to stop tho generator except under strong field. ' In order to make these repairs the entire casing of. the wheel will have to be opened so as to allow tho fitting of the gate collars, and finally- the-gates themselves so as to free this gate ring, a work of some weeks, as you can see from this brief description. In tho city itself a good deal of work must also be undertaken In the line of rebuilding some of the pole lines in different streets whore tho poles are rotted at the butts or where they have boen graded out. The total expenditures in this department were $28,038.99. This should be divided as follows: Transformers and substation wiring for Baskln & Stedman, $2673.26; new lightning arresters, S. S. new building, new tower, $1851.56;; work on street railway, $515; fair building, wiring for fair, $175; fair building, wiring for rose show, $125; fair building, wiring for poultry show, $25; police department, for signals, $57; fire department, two new boxes, $47; operating expense, $22,570.17. The operating account is as follows: Rcicelpts, $56,166.28. Interest, $17,750; sinking fund, $14,200; operation, $22,570.17; profit, $1646.11. : The operating expense has risen only fSUOO over 1917, which is a splendid showing considering the amount of work done, and it means that although the wages were raised in this department of overy employee except the engineer, yet the staff worked so woll that the work was done with fewer men, thus keeping the expense within bounds, and If this year the plans outlined in this report are followed a much better financial report can bo tabled for 1919.
