McDonald's Labor party cabinet wow •aved from powlhle resignation today when the house of oom- ninns defeated a Conservative a mend hum it rejecting the coot mines bill by the narrow margin of eight votes. The vote was 281 against 378, ln favor of giving the bill lu Its second reading. The division of the house climaxed the firsi serious crisis thut lias confronted the administration. Triumph or the Conservative .amendment would have defeated H the measure, which was one of the chief projects of the government. The bill was framed to meet campaign promises. The narrow margin ot victory was due to a lessening of government support which was hitherto coming from the benches of the Liberals under the leadership of David Uoyd . Oeorge. The Liberals themselves, had prepared a dissenting amendment but lt took exception to only a few of the principal features of the bill and the Conservatives manoeuvered themselves Into the front of the battle by offering . their comprehensive rejection amendment. LLOYD (.lok«;k heard In the debate that preceded the vote Lloyd Oeorge denounced the bill x*M' vicious and as likely to raise the price of coal to the consumers. But he indicated that his party would not oppose a second reading if Premier MacDonald would assure them that opportunity would be. given to deal with unsatisfactory aspects of the measure while the bill was still In the committee stafie. In closing the debate the prime minister agreed to consider the Liberal objections In committee. Despite this concession Mr. Lloyd George and a number of other Liberal members voted against the cabinet ln the division. Loud cheering., came from the Labor benches when the result was certain, but these were drowned by cries of . "resign1' when the official figures disclosed the slim margin ot government victory. Examination of the ballot showed that there were sufficient abstainers among the Liberal-, to account for the Laborites winning. Only two of the 43 Liberals In the house voted with the cabinet. The total membership of the Liberals Ib 58. The eight Independents split evenly, four to four. The cabinet vote was made up of 375 Laborites, four Independents and two Liberals. The anti-government vote was made up of 228 Conservatives, 41 Liberals and lour Independents. Prior to the session, the total membership was figured as consisting of 289 Laborites, 260 Conservatives, 58 Liberals and eight Independents. The absentees, therefore, figured as numbering 14 Laborites against 32 Con- aervatives ami 15 Liberals. After the bill had been voted Its second reading, lt wus committed Lu committee of thc whole. in this stage there vrill be full opportunity for discussion of every detail when the measure again comes up.

It says: "It is freely asserted that it wilt take a great deal to bring the public back into the mining stocks. This seems to imply that the public generally has sold out or been sold out of mining stocks. This is hardly the state of affairs. There are probably fewer stocks being carried on margin than there were two years ago; there are fewer people trying to make a killing in a single plunge, into a highly seculative venture. The transition from feverish speculation to complete lethargy in mining shares has cost a great many people an aggregate of millions of dollars, split up into many small sums that have ranked largely in the personal finance of those who have lost them. This being true, it can hardly be said that the shake-out has t<een salutary. It has taught many worth-while lessons, but it has taught them at too great a cost. While placing upon the mining brokerage fraternity the blame for much of the over-excited speculation in and inflation of stocks; while criticizing many of them for improper practices that have intensified the situation, one must recognize that the mining exchanges and mining brokers are not alone to blame. The get-rich-quick mania of speculators, and the reluctance of our mining leaders to -control, by education, public understanding of fundamental values have been factors. "There is some speculation now as to when the next mining stock boom will get under w,ay and the amateur financiers leaning against the ticker stands are freely asserting that when the grain crop gets mov ing the banks will oflen their coffers and pour a golden stream of dollars into the market to support another spec-, ulative freniy. Heaven forbid! "The Canadian mining industry requires investment of money for constructive development of producing properties more than it requires the speculation of money in options on possible profits. A new attitude of mind is necessary. "In time our mining market may get down nearer to the basis of British mining share markets. Shares of producing properties will sell at a basis providing fair dividend return plus an allowance; for depletion. Recognition will be given to the wasting nature of the mining asset. When producing properties have speculative possibilities beyond their proven reserves, these may well be discounted reasonably in market levels, but such speculative evaluation has gone beyond reeasonable bounds in the past. ''A much more restrained type of mining share boom will be more stable, will make more money for speculators, will last longer and do more to promote mining development than the sensational wind-bag markets of recent years.

The Ion? yew estimate previously used as a basis for drilling, has not been lived up to, the development work shows that the assumption that the ore area as shown by drilling to 250 feet would continue to equal in size the 600 feet, to be unjustified, it is added that while j widths as Indicated by long year may not be borne out lt Is definitely known that depth runs below the 760 foot level. Sampling yields have shown an average of 2.97 per cent, nickel and 97 per cent, copper. Gross value recovarable is estimated at $21.90 a ton. It ls hoped to start operations early next year. Figuring on a recovery per ton of 50 pounds nickel and 16 pounds copper, plus four cents ln precious metals per pound of Nickel, the cost of producing nickel is estimated at 20 cents a pound. On the initial tonnage basis and production of over two thousand tons of nickel annually, the above costs should yield earnings of $656,000 a year, or 20 cents a share at present outstanding. Without more financing, this scale of operations can be doubled as soon as a market has been es- tabllshet: and annual earnings should amount to $1,487,000 or 46 centa a share. Beyond this point of production iuither financing would bo required as the Norway refinery would be up to its limits and additional refinery capacity .should then be installed in Canada. • Financial position shows total available $2,358,066 cash on hand and current liabilities of $180,299. Development expenses $262,968. commission on shares spld $250,000. Mining properties! are carried at $2,561,299, plant $917,418. 01LB1UEF8 CALGARY. DEC- 19—(By H. W. Robertson Ltd., leased wire)—Eastcrest No. 1 twisted off six stands of about 460 feet of drill pipe Wedneeday. It was not expected that the fishing Job- would occupy much time. Bottom is at about 115 feet in tjie lime. No. 2 resumed drilling last night after shutdown while boilers wan being moved back. Homestead resumed drilling from 3,826 feet last night after fishing out tools and a line lost Tuesday. Re- civery of the tools waa made ln aa unusually short time for such a job. Turner Basin completd fishing out an under-reame tug ket at 3335 feet and was lowering several lengths of casing. Lt was expected drilling would resume today. Freehold Na 2 resumed drilling at 3,965 feet yesterday after fishing out an underreamer lost several daya ago. The situation at Southwest Pet* was unchanged. Cleaning of the hole by means of back pressure was continued to place the well In the producing stage. With both Mayland No. 1 and Southwest Pete proving disappointing after encouraging showings there ls increasing belief that rotary drills are not suited for bringing la production from the Ume, because of the heavy mud used for circulation sealing off the gas. Equipment for a new derrick at Richiield is being rushed to the well and attenmpte are made to have lt drilling by the first of the year. A' contract was let for construction of a steel derrick. Okalta No. 2 was drilling from 4315 feet and about 90 feet In the Home sands last night. No. 2 resumed drilling from 2,970 feet -and after a delay ln which 250 barrels of oil' were removed from the hole. The oil is believed to be coming from ttie. McDougall Segur sands from which formation No. 2 also had a strong flow, before it was shut off. No. 4 t>nd No. 6 are standing cemented and will not be started again until one of the others Is brought in. Winnipeg Grain WINNIPEG.

CHAPTER 21 Joyce walked slowly back into the hotel thoughts whirling almleasly about ia her mind Uke snowflakes In a arorm bhe (.ugni lo be elated—and she wasn t 'iwo hundred dollars a month seemed a lot oi money. Mr. Orainge had opened ins eyes a trifle wider but had •ula nothing, when the little gray squirrel ol a man—Mr. Cornell wae th« name Mr. Orainae had u»ed wasn't il? -mentioned the figure. Joyce had ao astute suspicion tnat Mr. Cornell lorcecl to the hardness which Is the price of life In business was the sud- ject tc occasional burst of qutxouc KOMtllttftw. It was his way of cutting loose lrom the rules his form of spree. But he'd had his little fltns Thc rest lay with her—and with Mr. Grainge. Toat young man had an enormous capacity for silence. It wasn'- that he seemed passive or negative. it was rather that he gave the impression of force that ran in the channels of control and did not sweep away in meaningless words or looks or gestures. Joyce shook her shoulders impatiently She didn't have to fuss about Mr. Gralnge's Inner workings—they didn't concern her. He—But there! Tne point was that she had a Job at *20Q a month. Was It enough/ Lots of families lived on 9200 a month. But thla was different. There was the machinery of living. Somebody usually attended to that for nothing " *he spent the day in the store. Besides mere was Jeannie. How could she take her to the school at nine and call for her at five when she had to meet those same business hours herself? "Oh— stop fussing about minor details—you'll have to manage it some way?" 8he was unconscious of saying the words aloiild until .he met the surprised stare of a passer b. After that she forced her mind to a blank until she reached the secure solitude of her room. It was almost a flight, thounh from what she did not know; but she found herself running up three sets of stairs rather than wait fox the elevator. Once there, she Httiw her hat on the dressing table and aat down before the little desk, her chin ln her cupped hands. "I've got to think this through," she said, forcing her thoughts into line by speaking them aloud. 'In the flnt place, thla job ls temporary; I may lose It. No, J won't lose it. I've got the chance—and certainly I've got ordinary Intelligence. I can't be hope- lesly incompetent." Yet she wasn't so sure. She couldn't possibly know Just what Mr. Grainge would expect of her. 'X>h, leave him out of It. You'll find out when the time comes!" Yet ahe knew even aa she spoke that her confidence was not real. She was frightened—why, her hands were cold with lt! And lost—aa if she had been flung into deep, chill water and left to flounder her way out, or sink. If only she could call CUff—let him drag her back to shore, and stay the part of her that lived in fairyland. Why, when you faced tt, lt waa all quite simple! And that must have been the way CUff felt when he had to break hla dream of architecture to bite against the need of a dally Job. even though hit, particular fairyland was the solid one of bricks and beams. So there was nothing behind that gray shadow of fear without a form after all! She took the remaining drawings and laid them carefully edge to edge in the portfolio. Then she shut them away in the lower drawer, with a firm Uttle slam. The preliminary whirr of the alarm cock startled her to a sudden realization that it was only one o'clock She was to report to Mr Grainge on Monday. An afternoon of complete emptiness lay before her. and Bhe found herself wishing that she could go back to the store and begin work at once, she would have to wait until Monday to find out what lay behind that mask of sil«nce. After all, it was small wonder that her thoughts ran back to Mr. Grainge considering how much depended on h:m and his demands of her.

W more thfm under your feet. Suppose she sent for Cliff now, and tried things out aa they were. But he wouldn't. Poverty for himself would be one thing— he wouldn't mind if he were doine the work, that was Joy to him. But he wouldn't be able to stand It for her and Jeannie—and she waa responsible for that He'd feel the load of responsibility for them crushing ctbwn on him again and they'd be worse than before. She drew a sheet of paper toward her attd began a letter to CUff. Bhe wanted- to' cry out to him, a cry of incoherent loneliness and bewilderment. But her pen stopped itself, alter the first words. Against that Impulse lay the weight of five years —five years in which she had learned ot beware of seeking too much. Which was the rtel CUff—the Cliff of their lnat day of the long months before of their first days of love? It was the earliest Cliff of all to whom she wished to cry out now. But you could not reach into the past and clutch it back. They had tried a dream once—this was the time for a firm hold on reality. The letter she finally wrote was deliberately cheerful. ■ "It ls a fine opening," she wrote. "Jeannle and I can do nicely oh the salary, and save something besides. You won't need to send us anv more money, so you can save too. A year or so ought to put us on our way." As she arose to her feet with the letter In her hand, something slid from ber lap ot the floor. It was the forgotten portfolio, she took out the designs and spread them on tho desk before her. Then methodically she began to tear them across, once, twice, and flung the fragments Into the waste basket. She was 'killing them sending them back where they belonged, into nothingness. They did not belong in thia world—this world of $200 a month. "But that explains it all!" she exclaimed suddenly her hand arrested in mid-air. AU her vague alarm and Jepression wa-s because this Job wasn't what she really wanted; It wasn't creative. It was because she felt the tentacles of routine reaching out to strangle Cocktail Introduced at W. C. T. U.

The Howell funeral Cortege commands deference Ih its elegance. The ceremonial rites in our chapel offer comfort, privacy and devotional environment. Announcing the Opening of OUR NEW FUNERAL HOME . ** We Have Completed Our New Funeral Home and present it not without pride, to the people of Nelson andthe Kootenay Districts \ Thoughtfulness THE distinguishing quality of the successful funeral director 5» thought- fulness. This thoughtfulness is shown not only by his actions at the time of the funenal service, but in the facilities he hae prepared in advance. His -thoughtfulness is also displayed In attention to mourners, before, during and after the funeral. With this end in view, the new Howell Funeral Home contains a special mourners room in which they may attend the funeral in that privacy which is so much to be desired in a time of be- _reavement. , Modern in Every Respect— "•-Our new Funeral Home is modern in every respect, in every appointment and all equipment. It was designed, built and fnrnished to provide a Funeral Home of the latest and most pleasing type. There is none bjetter between Oalgary and Vancouver. A Real Home- When we call onr ^establishment a Funeral HOME we are URing tlie word in its best sense. Here the.bereaved family finds all the quiet dignity, all the privacy arid seclusion of a well-appointed private residence. And, in addition, we have here the necessary facilities to make the funeral service the orderly, impressive rite that it should be. . „ , The New Building— Tl^new Howell Funeral Home is an attractively constructed stucco residence of two stories. On, the-ground floor is tha chapel, the mourners' rcjbm and offices. Upstairs is the showroom, which contains manv beautiful caskets. . . _. At the rear is a garage, with entrance from east and west side of the bniilding. Curtains, light fixtures, the fine interior 3ec« orations of all kinds and lighting effects give an effect of comfflft and peaceful dignity which makes the new1 Howell Funeral Home unique in the interior of British Columbia. .*_ Equipment Most Modern— In purcha&tag equipment for use in our business, we have tried to select only such as would give visible expression to the ideals that animate onr service. Our motor vehicles, fixtures and other accessories are the best that money can buy and lepre- sent the very latest developments in their line. Our clients have the satisfaction of knowing that they are receiving the benefits of modern progress in mortuary science1. • I ,:* .-. : ft No Increase in Cost—, __ ■ We have proved that, funerals can be conducted under this modern plan at a cost nb greater than that of ordinary funerals. No special date has been set for public inspection of the new Funeral Home but the public will be welcome at any time. We fully realise the value and necessity of appropriate music in making the funeral the beautiful and impressive ceremony that it should be. For this reason we always welcome suggestions from relatives and friends and carry out their suggestions to the letter. The organ is in a separate and adjoining room to the chapel, so that the strains of music enter the chapel without the organ or organist being visible. For the Whole District— The Howell Funeral Service will extend to the whole district and will not be confined to Nelson alone, The same first class service, the best between • Oa-tary aad Vancouver, will be .rendered* to'-|»t- "of-town clieix'te as to those residing in the city. We believe that this extension of first class service to the surrounding district will be apprec- iated.by the public. Howell Funeral Home &# PRIVACY is keenly desired when one is . grief-stricken with bereavement and yet there i» a consoling balm to the realization that the last tribute to the departed was accorded with prestige, elegance, reverence and respect. Such a tribute is the solace of those who engage Howell funeral service. Our sympathetic direction; our complete equipment; Hur impressive chapel—a complete, creditable service all at one price varying only on a haste of the grade of casket chosen. 702 Baker St. Nelson B.C.

Dec. 19—Imagine a long bare room with utwarpeted floor, a piano at the head before which, la aeated tha conductor, a table near an open window, on one side of which la a big. heavy man. his small eyea a-gllt- ter: opposite him ls a little man. bald, bespectacled, with a tired *rey face. arranging pent, mid papers on the table. The chairs round the room are occupied by girls and women whoae ages range from 16 to 50. Imagine this and you have tha setting lor that sorry sight—and audition, or voice trial. It lb here where j applicants for places m the chorus of tha new production are tested. Amongst the assembled women you may find every conceivable type. But watch them as they come forward for their teste. The big man, without taking the cigar from his mouth, has grunted. "Go ahead!" The girl nearest the piano rises and walks across the floor, hands her muMc to the conductor, postures in front of the Wr fellow, then bet-ins to sing and danoe. PATHETIC It Is pathetic. Her exhibition Is that of a woman of forty hopelessly trying to pirouette and carol tike a aweet young thing of twenty. There are stifled giggles from the waiting women. Tht big fellow looks bored. He jerks his head in the direction of Leicester Square—which cuu be seen through thc open window. "That'll do.'' he says. Oood dayl" The woman bites her lip sharply as ahe turns nnd walks down the room. Perhaps she means to go to another auditlen somewhere Doubtless, most of her days are spent going from one voice trial to another. A young girl walks over to the piano. She Is obviously nervous. Bhe nas not half the assurance of the woman who has Just left; but she is younti, pretty, attractively dressed. She begins to sing, at first ln a Waver]ey treble that makes us wish to plug our ears, and then she takes cc.iirftgp her vaice rfses higher and higher. She forgets the big man in front of her. she forgets everything and everybody, and sings for sheer Joy. The big man raises his eyebrows as he turns to his confrere across the table. The little fellow blinks behind his spectacles, Ttie song ended, the big man takes the cigar from his mouth and says: "Tou dance?' "A li-ittle." stammers the girl. She turns to the condtictro and explains. He begins to pla v. Her attempts at dancing are appalling. The big fellow waves his arms. "That's enough 1" he cries. The girl retires, her pretty mouth droopinK. She can't understand it. One after nnother of these people have turned her down. Yet, at home, friends and relatives never tired of praising her voice, her great gift. She had been the star of all the concerts. THE TWINS Two girlB come forward. Twins. In a flash they shed their skirts, and are fOUGHS Huh on tliroat; place some on \fP tongue i_nds.waJlowa.it melts. uen to be prepared few an acrobatic dancing act. They sing and dance enough to beat the band. They move la unison and with parfaet precision. They cartwheel, agrefftd themselves about the floor, and generally leave no doubt as to their ability. Their theatrical ambition is neither In tha bud nor withered. And so the Uttle man ln spectacles gets busy with pen and papers. The lucky ones are shown how to sign the printed forms. ' Thtir starUtng perlonriance has awakened the whole circle of watting woman. Some ahrug their shoulders. Here and there a painted mouth registers a semblance of a sneer. It la difficult to feel generous when you ace still uncertain of .-our place in the chorus. They come forward in turn. Bome* times the effort is good. Often lt ls feeble. But behind it all Ib a grim courage, a pathetic determination to succeed. MAN LOST FOR DAYS IN A CAVE BRANDON, Dec. 19—Two mysterious dtsappeernces were solved, by accident, on the same day. One was of a 20- year-old youth who was missing for nearly a fortnight. He was eventually found in a small cave in the famous Cheddar Gorge, where he had been lying for 13 days. The discovery was made by a man who was out shooting. He heard a faint cry from the Spinning Hole, a cave high up in tlie cliff face, and climbed up to find the missing man. The man was suffering from exhaustion and loss of memory. but was able to explain that he had lived for 13 days on the berries at the mouth of the cave and brackish water in the crevices in the floor. Even more peculiar was the case of a housewife for whom friends, relatives nnd police had been searching for nine days. There was no clue to her disappearance and everyone was baffled. Then a chance trip to the cellar by one of the household led to the discovery of the missing one there. How she lived in thc meantime is a mystery- She was taken to the hospital in serious condition.

British Columbia contributed 25 members to the delegation. They sailed from Montreal on the Ducheas of Atholl and found the city cf Quebec one of the first picturesque and impressive sights, towering as It does on the cliff above the river. After they pawed through the strait of Belle Isle, the roll of the ship became quite pronounced and many were forced to retire to their cabins. Although the time passed most pleasantly on the boat for most of the travellers, after four days all were delighted to see land again on arriving at Liverpool. The party remained for a week in North Wales and visited Carnarvon Castle where the first Prince of Wales wns bom. The next week was spent In Bristol, when they went to Glastonbury and from thence to bath and on to Stratford-on-Avon, Oxford and Cambridge. A week then was spent in Norwich where they were overwhelmed with hospitality. Later tbey reached London where they spent two very active weeks sight seeing and shopping. On arrival In France they had some interesting and humorous experiences with the language though on the whole were able to make themselves underwood well. Miss McKlnnon remarked on thc difference of Paris and London in many respects. She told the girls tbat Canada' was the most welcome sight or all when at last came the Ume for returning home. Mi."s McKinnon is an interesting and pleasing speaker. Miss Ina McKlnnon of Kimberley moved a vote of thanks ior the splendid address given and. all the girls were hearty in their expression of appreciation.
