On it being pointed out to Mr. Philip tha" the Laird creek, Kokanee and Sitkum creek camps had Just been closed as work cumps, though remaining aa subsistence camps, he pointed to the fact that they were intact, and could be used for either purpose required. A little over a third of tt mile remains to be built, to complete this diversion. The next in Hue to he undertaken ia the Longbeach mveriUou, Mr. Philip stated. This is thc one lhat will take a lower route nearer the lake and on an even grade. Other work being carried out, he stated, ls on the Sirdar-Wynndel .section, which ls in a dangerous condition. A large number of families, ln that district are drawing relief, he said, and might h* well be doing profitable work, this matter having been taken up by Li:ut.-Col. Fred Lister, M P.P. for Creaton .when at Victoria recently. Thts section to bc standardized ls along the Canadian Pacific railway line, and will require very careful work, about three months' work being in sight for crews of tlie present dimensions. *'r.

Montgomery, general superintendent of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting company's Kimberley operations, and Mr. Fortier, associated with him, discussing a number of questions, one of the most important being that of the Mark creek bridge, which ls narrow for the large traffic H paw has to bear. The minister, he sa.id, i« very anxious to have this rectified, The government, thc deputy minister said, considered the southern irsnsprovvlncial highway so important that where work wag done in tha southern interior it was as far as possible concentrated on thts route, lt being the policy of the government throughout the province to concentrate on the main highways until they are ot suitable standard. He expected, en arriving in tha Okanagan to take up the question of tho Hope-Princeton road, at the other end. Respecting the Naranwta road, Mr. Philip said it waa not being carried out at a trunk highway, but as an access road to settlers and as a relief project only. TK11H Tl. TO BRUIT WORKERS Speaking of the unemployment relief work, Mr. Philip MM tlic unemployed in the relief camps of the province generally were entiUcd to be paid a high tribute for the fine spirit, and for the energy and skill they put Into their work. He noted particularly tlie gaod work done on the Kokanee diversion, and said Irom lus examination, and others made elsewhere in tho district, ho was convinced the work done herc under the unemployment, relief scheme compared favorably with that in any part ot the province.

BY SIDNEY NORMAN Railroads Rush Lines to Tap Riches of Kootenay Country, Boats Built Vow* et the wonderful discoveries ln tbe surrounding mountain* hid been M«on»fl to th* world and events moted fast. Railroad connections wiih the outside world were promised from se\eral directions—from Nelson south, over Nelson A Fort Mieppard railway to connect it the boundary with Spokane Fall* *• Noil hem, pro- ,tected by thst western empire hMilder, Daniel r. < orhln. nnd which had reached Celvtlle In IMS; south from the (anadlan Pacific, vim Arrow Lake by boaf, thenre hr rail from Nakusp to Slocan lake; and treat, to the heart of the mines, by Kaslo and Slocan railway, a narrow-gauge project. In time, aU these connection, were mad*. The llne from Spokane to Nelson Is now part of lh* Great Nitrthern ayVem and the •Mher two llnea are owned by the II nadlan pacific. The narrow ".v-e hi*, built by the Great :".h«rn. with a southern outlet r i Kootenay Landing: at the 'Itbtfo end of Kootenay lak»*. %t» abandoned many years later, rescued t>v a loci] syndicate headed by the ltt* John L, Retallark and eventually sold to the Canadian Pacific Communication by boat from Kootenay landing snd Nelson was largely extended, several new eompinies vying for a share of the buslnesa. Ag la usual, everything was overdone; several hosts were wrecked, business dleappeued with the repeal of the Sherman Hitvrr Purchasing Act and eventually the Canadlsn Pacific as- 999*99 control of the entire transportation system—rail and boat—and holds il till this day. The southern outlet from NelFon la still held by the Great Northern, but. with the collapse of thc Rowland boom a t§tt years later, part of Ita system was abandoned snd the remainder has not lately been profitable. It la my recollection that the Kaalo & Slocan railroad waa completed In 1R04, or early ln 1A95. Jack Stewart, who later, as General Stewart. m*de » .wonderful record aa chief of ct>n- I Btnietlon §i the front in tbt World war, was tn charge of the work. Blasts Shower Tons of Roch Down Slocan Hills; Kaslo Puts on Dog tCUl do t remember the tremen- dom blast set off on the right-of- " BV round tho bluffs of Payne raouBt*lS, Just above Three Forks. i nouiands of tons of rock came tra/iitng down the mountainside over 100j feet and some of ita thought th* world had come to an end, Later ths high line wa* completed into Sandon and Cody. Yenrs later, to avoid disastrous snowslides around ths Bear Lake summit and Payne mountain, the tracks were moved to tho north slde of MeOuigan creek and remain there till this day, carrying a now-and-then train service of leisurely schedule. I>uri-_f tn* spring and early summer months of 1893 Kaslo remained the mining center of the universe and gradually took on the frills of effete civilization. Saloons of low and high degree lined th*. strfete; a bank had been opened by Colonel John ftt Burke, famous western promoter, b.cked by another almost equally famous—Colon*1! 8 L. Mlms; Colonel E. T. Lowery was emitting h weekly typographical blast through the columns 61 the KsfIo Claim; Ihe Hollands of Spokane had built and were conducting the KaMo Comtque. one of th* lowest variety theatre dives of th«» northwest; & new and almost palatial hotel—the Slocan — had been opened with great social eclat C \ A street, in a block above the Comiquc; Buchanan's sawmill waa Immmln: day and night at thc head of Kaslo Bay; several lines of steamboats were hndlng passenger* at all times of the day and night; stories of fabulous finds were trickling in from the Great Beyond up Kaslo Creek; Imaginative fortunes. wertf being spent prc- maturel over the bars of Front street; real estate was active and lt looked aa If each holder of a likely claim back ' ■ the hi.!la held a winning ticket In the lottery of fortune. The Depression Arrives; Dollars Are He then pocketed his fowling piece and strode for the street car, Spo- ksne-bound. During that night the Colonel, one of the moet Inveterate gamblers the est haa kno-\ n. played the "closest" poker game of his career. Luck *'ar with him snd at the appointed hour he met Joe at Wilmot's, There was an unmistakable bulge In Joe's coat ]ust above his right hip pocket, "'he Colonels glanoe fell upon It and then, sfter the usual morning ablution, he handed over n, roll of bills. "Thanks, John." aald Joe, as he finished counting it, "Km x'd you'd do the square thing." And as the swinging doors cloeed behind him the Colonel stroked his mustache, took another brscer and wa: heard to mutter. "Wonder tf that damned gun was loaded." The reverberations of tho bank failure wer* still echoing In the hills when the Kaslo Claim blew up with a loud report, carried to such far corners of the earth as were covered by Its circulation. That was on August 25, 1893. The last edi tion was as unique as Its "editor i and financier"—as Colonel Lowery styled himself, On the front page was a tombstone, with the caption "Busted, by Oosh." On the tomb- atone, "Keep off tho grass. Sacred to th,, memory of the Kaslo Claim, R. T. Lowery, editor; G. li. Oodfrey, reporter; J. B. Nesbltt, poet; fl. Todd, foreman; L, F. Plumn -.pressman; R. A .-"raiser, compositor. Born, May 12, 1803; died August 25, 1893. Aged sixteen weeks. Let her R, I, P." And then the couplet: "This monument upon the primal page, Speaks in sad words of tho Impending gloom, Tells of the battles that the Claim did wage To save the town of Kaslo from the tomb. But all its loyal efforts srs as naught. Its pennant now Is trailing in the dust; By the financial flurry lt was caught., And like the town ot Kaslo. It ta 'Bust'." George's Securities for His Burled but They Could Not Be Readily Sold Col. Lowery Has His Vps, Downs Tlie editorial *plt.aph was partly as follows: 'Four manths ago this paper had the brightest, prospects In Canada, Today everything ts changed. Such la life ln the wild and silvery west. One day, i millionaire. the next, nothing to lire on but wind and one of Burke's cheques. In lieu of crape, we have hung the printing office towel on the floor knob. Turn off the gae, ring down the curtain and exclaim, 'Tb_* play Is over, the flag is battled down. the Kaslo Claim Is dead, extremely dead'." Tho years later. Colonel lowery, after several unsuccessful journalistic ventures in oiher parts nf the Interior, resurrected the Claim ai Kaflo, regained wli»t he losl In the original enterprise and disposed of the ptihlicatlnii at a fair profit.

In 1893 the Blow Falls on Silver Oeorge later became a leading figure Ln Rossland, which was then Just beginning to attract attention. Years later I ran across him ln Hart, California, sud msny com pa of Nevada, where he died. When he left Rorw.-nd, after that, ooom hid col- lapped. h* deposited at! his be- lon-glDgi. con&iatlnc pi mo pally of stocks of "cat and dog" classification, with J. F. C.

When he realized the ond was near at Gold- field, he sent for Ernest Kennedy, the best-dressed and one of the handsomest brokers connected with the Roasland and Goldfleld booms and exacted a promise that lf and when the end came, he would communicate with Banker Fraser, ask him to convert hla "securities" at i once and remit tha result, that I funeral and Otb*t expenses might ; be paid. Shortly tbttttttm th* Inevitable happened and Kennedy did : as he had been request*^ wiring ! something lik* this: i "George Plunder died bora todav I Advised mo valuable securities in 1 your care.

Without undue delay, back eotae the answer, slao eolloct: "Pfunder securltiea held by this bank not readily saleable. Would probably take aeveral month* to convert." Back went another message, this time brutally brief and laoonlc: "George won't keep that long." Kennedy paid the funeral expenses himself. And that was that.

Through the troublous months of mid-summer many had kept si Iff upper Itps, professedly confident that things Bould right Ihcmsehe*. Then, a* nuw, so- called captains of Industry and stuffed prophets nf politics Shun red the world that the corner had been turned. But at Wiish- Injjton preparations for tlie "crime of ths century'' were Inexorably carried ou. It von on MuciiiImt I. 1893, that tlv blow finally fell upon the silver miners, wllh repeal of the Sherman Silver purchasing mt. pasted ' • lfltMl, and providing fnr the purchase of 4.500.000 ounces of silver monthly, or half a million more than the m;i vim ii in amount utlmrirrd under the act of 1878.

Ralls Reach Sandon; Three Forks Is Bustling; Concentrators Are BuWt Ghost Camps Take Place of Live Mining Towns; Miners Move Homes During I8»4, the Great Northern and Canadian Pacific were pushing construction Into the heart of the district—the former winning the race when the high line to Sandon and Cody was completed. Tlv Canadian Pacific connection with Nakusp, on I'pper Arrow Lake, ottered greater engineering dlffl- c ii I Me*, hestdni I" .•-;.■ cdi" Ider* ably longer, the grade from Slocan Lake to Sandon being particularly steep. Even then, a switchback wad necessary Just below Three forks, before the dtmb up the south fork of Carpenter Creek to the new tawWttt* of sandon was iimimrncFd. "Miring these const met Ion days Three Forks held lt«i posttlnn sa the mining center of the district, but was forced to jleld when Sandon, the ftnsl ob jective ol Nn two lines, wts reached In 189K, if my memory ls not at fault. Mining developments In the surrounding i tountalns had proved that the clean ore of very high sliver-lead content did not persist fur from surface and that handsortlng was too expensive and wasteful. Concentrators, nslng the old gravity prooesi, weTe constructed, notably at Alamo, for the Idaho-' Alamo mines of the Duluth crowd: the Noble Five snd Slocan Star, at Kandon, the Washington, ln Mc- Guigan Basin and th© Ruth, at Ban- don, which had passed to ths owners-h 1 p of Goorgo Alexander. News of Important further discover lea, particularly towards ths southern end of Slocan Lake, kept up the general Intereat. The repeal marked tha final repudiation of silver as a money metal by the United States, and preoedsd adnption of the goM standard by seven years. In the worldwide depression that now engulfs the world and tO* renewed agitation for the remonetization of silver, lt Is well to remember tbfisS mtt. The gold standard Wo* adopted less t bl n 32 years ago by the United Stales, and within that, period have occurred periodical panics and depressions, seemingly increasing each time In extent, and seventy. The Immediate effect of the repeal In the Slocan district, in the Coeur d'AIene of Idiho, in tbe silver ramps of Nevada and every other state of the west, was disastrous, snd a full punctuating period ln lbs movement that haJ been growing in intensity for Jttti and had brought about the greatest era of diffused prosperity the west has known. Ghost camps took the places of happy, prosperous towns; impoverished miners moved their families to districts producing other metals, or swelled the population .it cities already overburdened with the needy nnd unemployed. The Immediate effect., w—o not overcome for many years, and the Indirect result* haVp never been, perhaps never wlll be. co, plctcly wiped out. In the year of the repeal the BveTJge pricp of silver Utt ?8 cent*; next year It fell to 61* cents, snd each year thereafter, up till the world war of 1H14. It- fluctuated lie tween an average low of 50 cents and high of 6H cents. In the same years lead dropped under 8 cents a pound, and silver-lend mining the world over declined to tlic lowest modern level.

The Comtque Goes Broke In Kaslo The untoward events necessarily acutely affected the st-ai ird of entertainment provided by the Com- Iquc. In fact, no class of Kasloltet. mi as severely affected as the lidy "box rustlers,'• who were the mainstays of the show. The bank failure elicited a poignant piercing feminine howl that reached back-stage tn every other joint of the kind .n the Northwest. Gradually, with money sent from "home", or cajoled by devious ways from those patrons of the show who were not wholly broke, the high-class rustlers left 'or the "outfildc" and were succeeded by slslers of a rougher texture, who- strong-armed tho utUUWtmtUttmmlf and without the sllght:-t compunction. There were some tough places of the kind in the Northwest in those early days, but tt is doubtful if any, even in the big centers, could have 'aught the Kaslo Comlquc any worthwhile trick* of the trade. Every vestige of the three-story, barn- Hke structure has been removed. There is no reminder of the Bacchanalian days of the long ago. Kaslo's Gay Night Restaurant Is Scarce; a Kaslo Bank Goes Broke; Closed; Lucey Tries to Make Raise Meannhlle, the first clouds of the devastating financial storm of that year were gathering on the bortton, for a while unnoticed ln tbe brilliant ref elect Ion of the silvery ratnbow. In rne day, five leading banks failed In Spokane, thf financial center of th* Moean movement and almost over-night money became scarce, development In all directions was stopped and property payment! were postponed or options -nrrendered. It now seemed certain that the Sherman Silver Pnrchaslnt set aould he repealed by lhe lnlted Pistes Cflti- gresa and stiver began to decline precipitously. From an average of wet] over a dollar when Ihe first Slocan discovery was made, the quotation had receded to below seventy-five cents, while lead sank In sympathy from around 4..1 cents per pound to shout 3.R cents. The boom was punctured. Many with money enough departed for the "fiutside" and. before wnter eame, de'iari looked aa lsrgF as cart- . wheels. BUEKX'H BANk GOES L'P The situation *was brought home to Kasloltes one fine Monday ! morning In July when IJiirke's j hank failed to open Its doors. I tie Colonel had been out In Spokane for t*tt§ necks seeking 1 help and Inct.enlal I bin Id fortl- ; tude, but threw up the sponge : when the big crash practically At* j prtved Spokane of banking hc- i tmttOOtmmttm.

The failure tied up every spare dollar ln i thf town and, 'efort thc depression ; had run Us course, the steamboats | were hauling out passengers for anv- ; thing they could spare, or for 1 rothlng. Oastronomlcally. Kaslo was also ; hard hit. The hotels catering to j regular and transient boarders at so ; much per day cut down their menus almost to the vanishing point, and. ! after a gallant struggle, the only j all-day-and-night restaurant, known i as the Bon Ton, on the north side 1 of Front street, was forced to close - its doors. That was nothing short of 1 n calamity. It had been started In i the halcyon days a few months ear- I Her, and soon became the rendezvous [of tile sicially rtttt, including tlic j faro dealers and ladles of the lighter 1 side of life. It was fitted with tete- a-tete boxes on one side, partitioned off from the vulgar t*m by gaudy cretonne curtains, The lot and buiidm* were owned by George Kane, locator of the Kaslo townslte, and first mayor of "the earning metropolis of tlie Kootenays".

One of the Interested parties waa Jsek Lucey, who led a riotous celebration when the first payment was made. The second payment came due after the crash, and Oeorge was perilously near financial disaster. Lucey and his partners were completely broke, with nothing between them and eatlcss days but Vt*t second payment. Frequent exhortations fell upon deal cars and an empty pUOt. 6' "' Lucey and his partners persisted, stimulating George Wt*9 prophecies of fabulous wealth, and urging him not to throw away thus chance of fortune. Time came when Lucey et al were not able to ?at regularly, and so a Jast heart-rending appeal w*as madt to George. "See here, George." said Lucey, "them claims is worth a million dollars, but me and my partner, don't want to close vou out. Ut ain't eating regular. How about i small payment, Just to keep ta going?'' The effect of tbe repeal in the Slocan district waa far-reaching Winter was on and the Important mlnea had been stocked with supplies sufficient to last until spring. lt, was a few weeks before the full significance of the blow was realized and then on every hand orders went forth to clos^ down or curtail development.

Clar'--! and Colonel Ed. Mum of Spokane. When the shuffle was complete, only a few mines held to their development programs. My recollection, after ah these years, is that the Payne, owned by A. W. UeCvtm, ot Salt Lake City; Scott McDonald of Spokane; Steve Bailey, the original grubstaker of Carpenter, and M, B. Brownlee and J. M. Hoge of Butte, wjs among tlieni. Others were Hie Slocaai Star, now the Silversmith, ownr by Byron and Bruce WhUe and Milwaukc,. associates; the Reco, owned by Johnnie j Harris, Colonel Sam Wharton and j Fred Kelly: the Lost Chance, owned by Clive prlngle. later i Canadian ! senator, and Dr. A.

Irom the new lown many of the mines »ere most readily aecess- Ihlc and for a few month*, it enjoyed all Hie thrills of a hoom and was one of lhe most, plctur- eMBS spots. M-enlcaJly ond^lli personnel, of the whole movement. Many the celebrated characters that congregated there. Among them (.eorge plunder, of German parentage, whose guttural accent marked hlin as an operl, since none could understand just ■what he was talking nhout. He maintained an office In the little town and collected :lie finest display or speclnieiiH in the co?mtry. Ills knowledge was cheerfully accepted as geological gospel, largely because unintelligible terms rolled from his tongue In such a steady stream that none could get a word In edgewise. While Three Forks wa* at the height of It* prosperity, a young fellow from the farming country nround Yakima. Washington, quietly pitched his tent JM of the town and look up the task of proa- pecilnp—sn art with vhlch he was entirely unfamiliar. Every day lie sallied forth, alwaya In the same direction, towards the shoulder of the mountain lying to the aa uth west snd within a gun shot of town. Every evening at nightfall he ta* turned, smilingly answering the bantering remarks of the sidewalk loafers, who knew too much to waste their time so near home and, In fact, had unanimously decided that, oeorge petty was a little unseized In the upper a topes. For several weeks he adhered to his dally program snd then, one memorable day, returned with some of the finest samples of clean ffalena th# camp had yet seen. Aaked where he had found tt, he pointed to a epot but a few hundred feet from town on the thickly timbered Bill. That csueed an Instant stamp- j ede. A beautiful vein of clean ore. ' about eighteen inches wide, had boen Bystemsttcslfy trenched for several hundred feet. Ths ground coverl ng poesi ble exierislon ot the vein In both directions had been elowly staked. No chanoe of "horning in" for tho loafera who had laughed. The work of the tender-* foot had been thoroughly done. That -was the Monitor mine of later days, acquired by a French syndicate, for a price that enabled Petty to pass the rest of hla days in comfort, though he stuck to the district, developing properties higher tip on the name mountain, until he passed on a year or so ago.

When news of the strike struck town, I waa among the first on the ground, accompanted by Tom Jefferson of Spokane, part owner of the Washington mine.

Jefferson waa broke, or so nearly ao that provision of a few hundred dollars to hind the bargain was out of the question, i'ctty was In- exorsble; no cash, no deal, finally, it was arranged that Jefferson was to give me hia cheque for $500 to bind the bargain and I was to scratch the money together some way or another with the cheque ea [security.

The Kidd Committee Report The Kidd Committee report, many recommendations of which had already been published, has now been given.oat in full. It contains some excellent recommendations, some which are impracticable, and aome which certainly would not bc in the best interests of British Columbia if they were put into effect. Possibly the Kidd Commission took upon itself an impossible task. For four or five men, none of whom has had any previous experience in governmental affairs, to attempt virtually to remodel the whole administration of British Columbia after a few weeks investigation, was almost certain to result in a report which would be open to serious criticism. The Commission, while it could not. be accused of dodging its responsibilities, has certainly stepped in where angels would have feared to tread, and as a result has made recommendations which would never have been made by men more experienced in governmental affairs, or by men with a wider knowledge of British Columbia and its industries and problems. With most of the general recommendations of the Kidd Committee the public will probably bc found to bc in agreement. To reduce the Legislature to twenty-eight members, and the Cabinet to six, to curtail expenditures on free education, to combine several of the government departments under one head instead of two or three, to cease governmental activities which are duplicated by the Federal Government, to curtail expenditures by $6,000,000 a year, and to abolish duplication of work by various governmental departments and by placing upon the provincial police the work now being carried out by the law enforcement branch of the Liquor Control Board, are proposals founded upon good common sense and business-like in their nature. It is when it gets down to details, to methods to be adopted for putting these general recommendations into effect, that the Commission gets into difficulties, and almost into absurdities. It is also appears to have gone considerably beyond its functions. For example, it proposes beer distribution to homes, delivered to homes from breweries. This is a plan which is in effect in the province of Alberta, and no doubt would work equally well in British Columbia, but why the Kidd Commission should have thought fit to deal with a matter of this sort seems curious. The Commission goes further. It proposes that the Liquor Board should devote its efforts to the sale of cheaper brands of liquor. Here the Kidd Commission is going to have a nice controversy on its hands. Surely it is not in the public interest to promote thc sale of immature liquors instead of good and well-matured liquors. The Commission also proposes the sterilization of of the mentally unfit. It might as well have gone fully into problems of social hygiene or perhaps have endeavored to solve our unemployment problem by advocating birth control. The Kidd Commission proposes that the Government should eliminate all expenditure on marketing efforts. It evidently considers the money which is being expended in order to extend our market for fruit, lumber and other produce has been wasted. This is an extraordinary attitude to be adopted by business men who of all classes in the province should understand the necessity for vigorous selling efforts. It proposes to abolish district agriculturists and veterinary inspectors, to withraw aid from Farmers' and Women's Institutes and from Boys' and Girls' Farm Clubs. It would, in a nut-shell, cut all expenditures on dairy, live-stock and horticultural services to $15,000 combined, yet almost in the same breath it proposes, W'hile cutting out all grants to small fairs, to expend $20,000 on fair grants to Vancouver and Victoria, and $5000 for fighting foul brood in apiaries. The Commission may be able to reconcile these apparently extraordinary recommendations, but on the face of it, they are hopelessly inconsistent, and if carried out would be far from beneficial to the best interests of British Columbia. The trouble may be that the Commission, composed entirely of coast men, has failed to realize the importance of British Columbias basic industries. This attitude is illustrated further by the proposal virtually to eliminate the Department of Mines, and to eliminate entirely grants in aid of roads and trails designed to make mining prospects accessible and to bring about their development to producing mines. This attitude is again displayed in the antipathy which is shown towards highway construction. The Commission emphasizes one or two examples of waste and bad judgment displayed in road-building, and then it proceeds to urge that no further sums should be expended on highway construction, and that maintenance of highways should be reduced to a minimum. This is all very well for men living at the Coast, and who are able to roll along on cement streets and highways, but it shows an astonishing ignorance of other parts of British Columbia. The Commission is evidently also blind to the fact that in spite of heavy expenditures which have been made on highway construction in recent years, with results immensely beneficial to industry and business in this province, that the revenue directly derived from highways in gasoline tax, automobile licences, etc., comes within a few hundred thousand dollars of paying the total annual highway costs, plus interest on money which has already been invested in highways. In attacking highway expenditures, the Commission has attacked one of the relatively few forms of governmental expenditure which almost directly pay for themselves, and indirectly pay for themselves in cold hard cash many times over. The Commission makes some interesting recommendations, regarding expenditures upon education, and while in recommending that there be no free education after the age of fourteen, it goes farther than has been suggested by others interested in the question, its proposals are nevertheless in the direction of the general Auction and Contract Bridge By lbe Mh l_e--in« Authority. milton c. nu A SMALL SLAM BID M M-N-IH ♦ 1-5-3 ♦I5-J-S ♦ »#3 Hu ♦ M-.-I ♦ A-IO-I •swornS 7-5-2 ««fflJ* 9-5-3-2 4I-0-J-9-M *H ♦ M2 ♦ 1-4 The bidding In tho »bo-e hand varied at nine tables of duplicate Contract, but ln every case the result was a small slam contract at Spades. Every South started by bidding one Spade over which evet7 West called two Hearts. Seven ot the nine Norths then bid lour Spades which encouraged the Souths to call either live or alx Spades. When they called orly five, North supplied the deficiency by bidding Ior the small slam. At two tables North bid four Diamonds over West's two Hearts. South having bid, North's Jump- phlft forced South to keep thc bidding open until game wna reached, lt then was an easy matter for South to call four Spades, over which North made the slam Inviting five Spades. South, with quite a bit more strength for Spades than he had yet shown, accepted the Invitation wSk avidity; so by this route as well as by the more obvious one, South played a Spade small 6lam contract. At every table, the contract was made without difficulty, but where the Declarer had his eyes open an extra trlclt was gathered by the aid of our old end olten dependable friend, the squeeze. The squeeze was worked In thla hand as follows: To trlclt 1 West led the King of Hearts which North took with the Ace. Tricks 2, 3 and 4 were Spades (trumps) exhausting the adversaries, on which West discarded one Heart and one Diamond. Then Declarer led four rounds ol Diamonds, discarding the losing Heart from the closed hand on the fourth. West followed to two Diamonds and then discarded s Club aud a Heart.

What Do You Thinhl IS NOT PROPAGANDA FOR CANCELLATION OF WAR DEBTS DANGEROUS? wii lc thing hideous blunder To the editor of The Nelson Dally News: Sir—The scaling down of reparations and the consequent canc^lU- tlon of war debts as the result of the Lausanne conference are everywhere loudly acclaimed yet lt ae.ms Just another futile attempt on the pijrt of Europe to escape the consequence of that crime against humanity ajid etn against Ood known iia the world war. The original cut.slants had not the courage to fight cut -their own quarrel anl let the stronger or the better win. Tho opening battles were mere camoflage to hid*: e^nietilng of far greater hnport, namely,-which side could bid highest for Italian, Turkish, Roumsnhn cr Montenegrin support. But even this was but t side Issue as were tlty the battle of Verdun and ths spasmodic attacks on the Hlndenburg line. Europe lo.)k ed the power to settle Its own quar rels within Itself, rrom the outset the grand object sought by the allies and the crntral p>wers alike was decide the Issue by gett'ng the colas- sal weilth and Immense man power of America involved in thc fray Both sides have made shameless con- Imlail of the millions spent t circulate atrocity stones and other propaganda ln tho United Btates The chief director of ttt Oerman pr-paganda has said that Germany lost out ln the battle of lying and slander because they wen pikers and did not spenc. enough money to influence public opinion in tbe United States. At last, however, the power of American wealth, Wt* force of American man power was thrown on the side of tie allies and the issue, as far as Europe was concern crt was decided. The added weight of American man power would decide a doubtrul Issue; American gold would reconstruct a devastated Europe. American taxpayers would pay thc bill and Europe would esc ipe the consequences of a war which she began but couM not end. The cessation oi a great war often followed by t heart searching of the contestants and ft confession of sins. Thc sword was hardly s'.'.eath- ed In the Crimean war before England public opinion branded the trend of public opinion at this time. When the Commission recommends that the educational curriculum should be made less academic and devote more time to commercial courses, itisgettingon very dangerous ground. Basic education must always be founded upon academic work, and those who wish their sons and daughters to go into other than commercial occupations may very well ask why public money should be expended upon training the youth of the province for other occupations, which in the aggregate absorb many times the number of people who are employed in business. On the other hand, the recommendation to abandon government assistance to normal schools and to make those wishing to take up thc teaching profession bear the cost of their training seems logical. There appears to be no stronger reason why the state should train students than it should train doctors or dentists or lawyers or clergymen. The proposed wholesale reduction of teachers' salaries by 25 pcr cent would not work out. While some salaries paid to teachers might well be subject to reduction, there are many school teachers, especially those who are working in rural districts, whose salaries are already low, and who could not be expected to live at 25 per cent below the present standard. The closing of the University of Hritish Columbia is proposed. To go as far as that seems unnecessary. By further reductions of government grants and by increases in fees, it should be practical to keep the University open. Surely it is not good business to allow such an expensive plant to go to rack and ruin. Equally unbusinesslike seems the proposal to sell the University Endowment lands for "what they will bring." Would any business man in his own business slaughter assets like this? To combine the departments of Lands, Mines and Agriculture under a Minister of Natural Resources is a sound suggestion, and quite practical. So is the idea ' of combining the departments of Education and Provincial Secretary. To hand over the administration of the fisheries to the Dominion would also seem to be a sensible suggestion, as under the present conditions there are not only duplications of work, but also not infrequently clashes or jurisdiction. The Commission seems to havc jumped too rapidly to conclusions in advocating that B.C. House in London be sold. It is true that last fiscal year expenditures at the London office amounted to 126,600, but this increase of $20,000 over the preceding year was due entirely to advertising designed to attract capital to British Columbia, and to extend the sale of Eritish Columbia products. In normal years the total net cost of maintenance of British Columbia House is only $5000, owing to the large sums which are obtained from rentals of part of the building. Even if the K.C. Agent-Generalship were moved to Canada House, it could not be operated for anything like $5000 a year, and unquestionably it is worth very much more than that tp the province. In which tt Lord B.auconafleld said, "Tho English government had . et Its money on the wrong liorse." But no suc.i candor followed the close of the world war. The allies would admit no reei>cnsiblllty for It Inception. Germany defeated and helpless wa* compelled to accept the whole responsibility and propaganda was at once launched for cancellation cf war debts. The blame for the war was saddled upon Germany and ever elnce the war persistent effort has been made to saddle cost en the United States. It took nearly three years of propaganda to get America Into the war and 14 years of propaganda seem likely to be equally successful ln getting America to pay the bill, Meanwnlle Uncle Sam has learned his little lesson. He knows bitotott for a sucker and when hc feels like singing hla favorite song la "Oh WhH a Fool I Am" to the tune of "Auiri Lang Syne." But Europe has not escaped any of Ihe consequences cf the war. The great European quarrel Is still -unsettled, has still to be fought out and next time neltier Great Britain nor the United States will be Involved in the fray. But meanwhile the evil effects of trying to avoid blame and dodge consequences have ppreiKi like a leprous disease through the economic structure of the whole world. Agitation for cancellation and scaling down of other than national debts la looming up on all sides. There has been for some years a jwrsistent and growing agitation ln thc prairie provinces for th-s scaling down of farm mortgages, Interest en mortgages, and debts of all kinds. I have before ;w now a recent copy of an agricultural paper published ln Winnipeg. In this X find a letWr from a representative farmer who suggests tha t all governments—federal, provincial and municipal should notify all domestic creditors and holders of bonds that, in future, such governing bodies will pay thn only threc per cent, irrespective cf any contract on solemn obligation t> pay more. It is not then possible that propaganda, for the cancellation of war debts has started movements of kindred nature that may shake even more violently the trembling tonn- dations of civilization and retard indefinitely that return of faith the stability and Inviolability of contracts and solemn obligations which ls the only foundation on which tn- during prosperity can rest?

Vet Thorpe ran the 100 meters lu 11.2 seconds, against 11.7 by Jarring Jim. Thorpe would havo fed Bausch plenty of dust in the 400 metres, na well.

Bausch straggled in in 5:17. Tlie Indian's high Jutp waa 8*a Inches better than Bauach's.

He would havo come close ln the 100 meters, which Akllles Jar- vlnen and Hector Berra won In 11,1 seconds, againat old Jim's 11.2. Bob Tisdalla 49 seconds In the 400 meters this year makes Thorpe's 52.2 look very slow, Indeed. Thorpe would have conic close ln the 110 hurdles, with 15.8 seconds, against this year's winner's 15.4 seconds. In the 1500 meters he would have been in the wake of four men, Tisdall, Ebrrle. Yrjola and Charles. In thn broad jump at Los Angeles Thorpe would have been sixth, thi winner. Busier Charles, leaping a foot and a half farther than Jim's bent. Jim would have Ml snowed under in the pole vault, shot put and discus and Javelin throws. He Pirates Win Twice and Players Banished for Rowing DODGEM WIN FINAL OAME FROM f\RDfl ST.

More than 250 swimmers are expected to start the long grind In the morning, and only six prizes are given. There are the usual number hlte.-hikers, fellows who "bummed" their way to this city lu search of that dlstint pot of gold. Some admit they have entered the swim for no other reason than to try to collect the roomy. Others are In lt for the glory, still more—and these are the moat hopeless of them all—are in there becauae they have entered bi- fore, placed far back In the ruck, but hope tomorrow Is their day. George Y^ung of Toronto wants the money. He is favor: d to win the event. And he and Margaret Ravlor, who won the women's swm tor the third time in succession this year, are planning to furnish a ho*ne with their winnings. Tbe wedding Is ex- p;cted to take place shortly. Ernest Vierkoetter, also of T-ronto, won (30,000 In 1927, but is now working in a bakery.

T..elr reasons for being in the grind are obvious, for victory means easy and many things. These are Just a few fo the reasons why marathon swimmers brave the cold waters cf Lake Ontario.
