The total amount of money orders sent out of Montreal ou the two days preceding the sailing of the Kmpress was $13.3'!2 divided aa follows: Tuesday, $4!i��'x was Bent to (ireat Britain and Wednesday $:if��!t!i. The total number of money order* Issued on the first-named day waB 618, 547 were for Great Britain, while on the second day 338 out of 45S were ror Great Britain. The amount dispatched in money orders from Ottawa, which is the exchange for all the west, amounts to about ten times that sent from Montreal. The course to be adopted by the government will be that duplicates of the money orders held at Ottawa will be copied and dispatched to London. There every person will be notified that a certain sum has been dispatched to them and they will be able to get it. upon application at t'ae nearest post office. In cases where people were not aware that money was being sent to them, the senders are asked to write at once to the proposed recipients and ask them to call at the post office and make a claim, thus shortening the delay. flcsclution of Condolence Passed Last Evening by the Port Moody City Council���A Heavy Lots.

Oeneral Huerta Is preparing to resign. He authorized his representatives at the mediation conference to announce today to the world that "neither mistaken pride nor personal (interest" would prevent his withdrawal after Mexico is "politically pacified" and the government succeeding his la so constituted that it can count on the support or public opinion in Mexico. The Mexican delegates ln a formal statement revealed that they had been instructed from the first to Inform the mediators that (Jenoral Huerta's personality would not be an obstacle toward reaching a peaceful settlement. They also stated in unequivocal terms that the Internal situation in Mexico "was necessarily bound up with the international questions," and that this spirit had actuated them In coming to the mediation conference. Coincident with the announcement by the Mexican delegates or their position, the mediators tonight sent a note to Rafael Zubaran, representing fieneral Car- rans-a in Washington, replying to the communication brought here last Friday by Juan F. Urquidl. The mediators In effect, asked Qeneral Carranza through Mr. Zubaran, if the constitu tionallsts were now willing to discuss internal as well as international questions, now considered inseparable not only by the mediators but by the Atnerii an and Huerta delegates as well and if they were ready to declare an jiniistice with the Huerta forces so that the political pacification to which the Huerta delegates referred In their statement, mig'at be speedily brought about. Deadlock Broken. These acts ���the Issuance of the statement by the Mexicans and the mailing of a reply to Zuburan���broke the deadlock in the negotiations, the existence of which was formally denied during the day bi the mediators. It was nevertheless authoritatively established that not until the mediators withdrew their original intention of ignoring the Zuburan note, did the American delegates Consent to go on with a discussion of the genera! peace plan, on which substantial progress was made in today's conferences. The statement by the Mexicans, pre pared two days ago, but not issued until (leneral Huerta telegraphed his complete approval today ot the tentative plan tor a new provisional government, also carried the negotiations a long step forward and an atmosphere of optimism prevailed in the mediation colony tonight. Huerta's Statement, The text of the statement follows: "Oeneral Huerta is prepared to with draw from the government on condition that at the time of his withdrawal Mexico shall be political pacified and the government succeeding his shall be such as to count on the acquiescence of the governed and on the support of public opinion, which constitute the real basis of peace and stability in any country." Just before the foregoing was issued the Mexican delegates had a long conference with the mediators. Afterward they telegrahed Qeneral Huerta to send them the names of the men who will be satisfactory to him for places in the new provisional govern ment, to consist of two men chosen by Huerta, two by the constitutional ists and a neutral provisional president, selected by common agreement of all parties. The first four are to compose the I cabinet, but are to be morally obligated by the terms of any agreement I reached here to share equally the responsibility of a fair administration |which will he expected not only to conduct a general election hut to make a beginning on land, educational and other internal reforms, y Rebels Refuse. Washington, June 2. - Cpon being in formed tonight that the Mexican delegates at Niagara Falls had announced the willingness of (leneral Huerta to resign once Mexico is politically pacified, the constitutionalist agency authorized this statement: "Anything coming from Huerta's side will not be taken Into consideration." Vancouver, June 2. -Realizing that the Ottawa authorities were determined not to allow them to land at this port, the 376 Hindus on board the Japanese steamer Komogata Maru today practically decided to throw up the sponge and will return with the ship to India on June 11. where they pro pose to start an agitation. The end of the fight to land came today when J. K. Bird, the Vancouver barrister, retained as chief counsel for the Hindus In Vancouver, withdrew from the case altogether. The last straw in their attempt to land came today when word was received from Kord Hardinge that he could do notlilnz for them. Mr. Rlrd intimated that tbe stonewall tactics displayed by the authorities at Ot tnwa practically prevents them from landing and the financial support from the turbaned men In Vancouver, promised at a maiis meeting held in the city on Sunday has since been withdrawn, the Hindus already in the country not being willing to risk their money when the results are uncertain. An efrort was made today to have Gurdit Singh, the leader of the men on hoard the Japanese ship, examined by the officials but this was refused, as they will not take him out of his turn. He was No. 372 out of a total of W6, With the pace maintained by the examining committee the case of Gurdit Singh might not come up for years and in the meantime the steamer would be so covered with barnacles as to prevent her from moving around the harbor, let alone back to Japan. Despite the fact that the fight is practically over, the immigration off! cials are not relaxing their watch over the vessel, two cutters continually maintaining giurd and this will be kept up until the boat is outside the three mile limit from the British Col- j umbia coast. ' Vancouver, June 2.���George Van Horst was found guilty tojjay of the murder of Yazo Ogawa. a Steveston Jap, who was killed while engaged in piloting the latter and a man named Lester across the gulf from Kburne to Vancouver island on Nov. 4, 1913. Lester, on his deathbed, confessed that Van Horst did the killing, afterwards throwing the body or the Jap overboard, and later attempted to bum the boat. Van Horst was captured by the provincial police In Washington state late last year. Sentence will be pronounced at tbe end of the assizes.

HEAR APPEAL JUNE 9. Strand Hotel Liquor Case Will Come Up Next Week. The appeal entered by the city against Frank Johnson, proprietor of the Strand hotel, in the case of selling liquor during what are known a9 prohibitive hours, will be argued before his bono* Judge Howay in the county courl on June 0, A great deal of interest is being taken In the case which will not only affect New Westminster but probably the entire province in respect lo selling liquor. A general Improvement in membership and results was reported at the annual meeting of the Young .Men's Christian Association held in the association building last evening when the various reports were presented, and directors elected for the coming year. In the absence of President T. J. Trapp, who is in Chicago, the chair was taken by J. II. McDonald. The new directors are: J H. McDonald, J. W. Irwin and J. A. Rennie. Those re-elected are: J. D. Kennedy, I-'. O. Canfleld and W, It. Gilley. President Trapp's report which was read by the chairman, mentioned the fact that this was the third year of existence of the New vVestmlnstt r association during whicli time the In-1 would indicate that stitution had grown to such dlmen- to a criminal life, not beoauB" sions as to make the directors and | unable to maintain yourself, every person connected with the oi- guni/.ation. proud of it. The local body was one of 221S associations on lhe North American continent with a total membership of 600,000. The report stated that the association had done well in keeping tiie deficit down to such a low margin. Finances Deficient. Treasurer It. E. Walker, iu submitting his report, stated that while a deficit of $800 ou working expenses had been contracted during the previous year, the expense of the work of tlie present year had been kept to a deficit or $6,45. even though financial conditions were not of the best. Secretary Barnes' report dwelt cn the past and the future, and mentioned that the membership had been increased even though many people had left the ctiy during the past year. He appealed for the building to be used as a social centre for men nnd boys oi" the city. Many organizations in the city were using the building CIS a meeting place. F. Nelson, alias J. W. Kassal, a native of Plymouth, Kngland, was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment yesterday by his honor Judge Howay for forging a check purporting to be signed by J. XV. Hill, Chilliwack. He pleaded guilty. Provincial Chief Constable Steveson of New Westminster and Chief Constable Clifton of North Vancouver narrated the result of their inquiries regarding the prisoner and ir these were not infamous enough Kassall himself embellished them in response to a searching probe by the judge. Nelson, or Kassil admitted "doing" three months for a forgery in Vancouver and that there waB a warrant out for his apprehension on another forgery passed on J. W. Slkes of North Vancouver for $15. and that he had gone under the name of Walton. Volunteering a statement on oath lie stated he had been in British Columbia for three years. He pleaded that owing to his lungs being affected | he could not keep a situation and was | driven to forgery ror maintenance and ! a rruitless endeavor to raise money to get out of the country. "I can prove 1 am not a habitual criminal," quoth the man of many aliases, whose well set-up appearance belled any consumption "tendency. "How does it prove you are not a habitual criminal when you were convicted of forgery in July last year, committed another in North Vancouver in April and one in Way in Chilliwack," queried his honor. "Anyone can see ttrat that check is forged," coolly replied the prisoner, referring to one his honor was looking at. Prisoner then admitted he had made an application in Vancouver for charity last January where he made an affidavit that he had only been in British Columbia cne month, and two days in Vancouver, ignoring bis conviction by Judge Mclnnes. He also admitted that he was the Prof. Kiuno, a boxing expert, described in an advertisement of a boxing entertainment and said he had been trainer to the Coquitlam football club. The Court���On your own statement you started out on a criminal life and the evidence of the police bears that out���a criminal life with the idea of beating tbe public by means of false checks.

I think the public Should be protected against such men as you-- IS months imprisonment in the common jail. An amusing incident connected with the prisoner was the statement made to Chief Clifton by a companion calling himself "Assheton Smith." that he was a poet and had adopted the ���Assheton" because it looked well ap- oended to poems. Wife of Storstad'a Captain Makes All Kinds of Charges Which Are Denied by Passengers. Montreal, June 2.���"Captain Kendall never took a drink in his life." That waa the official statement sent out to a local newspaper, by Captain Walsh, chief marine superintendent of the C. P. it. steamship service, a�� a reply to an interview given out by Mrs. Anderson, wife of the Storstad's captain, in which she Intimated that Captain Kendall waa under the influence of liquor when he came ou board of her husband's boat after the sinking of tbe Empress. She also intimated that Captain Kendall arrived in a boat filled with people who were half dead, with others whose legs were broken, and that Kendall walked over these unfortunates ln his. hurry to gain the shelter that the Stor ..tad might afford. In reply to this Captain Walsh gave out the following statement: "You may announce from me that he never did such a thing." Captain Kendall Unstrung. Captain Kendall has been in conference all morning with the heads of the C. P. R. steamship service in the Windsor street offices of the C.P. R., but he Is being systematically kept out of the way of anyone else. An official of the company told a local newspaper man that the captain was not in proper condition yet to be interviewed or talk carefully about the details of the wreck. "His nerves are yet unstrung," the official said, "and he cannot yet tell a coherent and continuous story, the awful scene which be witnessed being still so strongly impressed upon his mind to prevent them Intruding upon his memory and interrupting his train of thought. "1 am tirmly convinced that from what the captain told me himself that he fully intended to go down with the ship, but waa prevented by fate from doing BO: ���-��� ������- "He said that when the bridge touched the water he grasped the rail ready to go down with the boat and die at his post, but that when the ventilators went under there was some sort of an explosion of compressed air which broke his grip and blew him away from his hold and from the vessel." FASHIONABLE GUESTS THROWN INTO PANIC Early, the Port Townsend Leper, Recognized in a Hotel at Washington���Again Arrested. Washington, June 2.���John R.

TURKS DRIVE GREEKS OUT OE THRACE Protests by Russia and France Result in Promises to End the Perse.utions. WEDNE8DAY MORNING, JUNE 3, 1914. ALL IN THE SAME BOAT. The finding of the international commission which was appointed to investigate the atrocities of the Balkan war leaves little room for pride in their conduct to any of the four chief contending nations. Turks, Greeks, Bulgarians and Servians all are alike condemned for fiendish practices, the recital of which, it is said, is the most shocking record ever collected. For months after the conclusion of hostilities dispatches from the Balkans were replete with charges and counter-charges of cruelty, each nation attempting to whitewash itself at the expense of its former allies. To settle the question an impartial commission was formed to investigate the facts and the report has given civilized Europe a rude jolt. No evidence, save what was absolutely unquestionable, was taken by the commission and the bulk of the testimony constitutes a document relating to wanton cruelty and fiendish oppression of the weak which is horrifying. The treatment of undefended villagers, through whose settlements the warring armies passed and repassed, would be unbelievable were the source of the information not positively authoritative. The whole,report is a damning arraignment of the game of international politics as played by the powers of Europe. The great nations could have nipped the Balkan war blossom in the bud had they chosen to do so and by their failure to act they have made themselves responsible for a series of massacres and a succession of wholesale outrages which are appalling. There was nothing blue about the outlook at the Royal True Blue convention last week. Wonder what will be the next move to resurrect that Deadman's island squabble in Vancouver. Athens, Greece.

Mexico evidently has something in common with the rest of the world. The New York papers tell of a "pauper" who died there the other day worth fifty thousand dollars. A fifty thousand dollar "pauper" would be a welcome addition to most any western population.

More than nine- tenths of the victims of the Empress of Ireland disaster, whose bodies have been recovered, were not drowned: they were lulled in most cases instau'ly or subsequently by falling wreckage and debris. This statemi nt, made last night by the officials at the mortuary pier following Investigation by embalmers and undertakers, aeocunts for the large number of the dead bodes which survivors have repeatedly maintained were floating ln th>' water all about them. "There is no doubt that nearly all were Killed hy Injuries received before Ihey were cast Into the water at all " said Norman A. ('rain, of Toronto, in confirming the announcement. Mr. Craig was summoned here lo :-;sist in the embalming. While no official statement has as yet been Issued by the C. P.

In addition to an unusually valuable salv ige, tl'" Empress, as previously stated, carried a quantity or silver, consigned from Cobalt to London. She also sarried a very large and valuable burden of mail. On two bodies ri covered cold and securities to the amount of $23,000 were found. Mr. Banderson, of London, Eng., had three drafts netting I $14,000 and $1000 In gold In a belt strapped around his body. Miss Ruth I Morton, of Kernie, I!.

Fifty Thousand Refugees. Up to the present over 50,000 refugees have arrived at the Macedonian seaport, where they are being provided for at the expense of the Greek government. These stories are not a product of Oriental imagination. Tbe undeniable facts are there, attested by the representatives of every government in Europe. Russia and France have both intervened at the porte and have re- j ceived promises that an immediate end shall be put to the persecution. | There is reasonable hope that these , promises will be kept, if only because i all the harm has now been done, the .Turks having succeeded In emptying 'Thrace of Christiana and having at i their disposal stolen land and houses j for the accommodation of the Moham- ��� medan population which they are busy , welcoming from Macedonia. It has frequently been implied that the. Turks are having a bad time of it in Macedonia. This is not strictly correct, for there is no persecution, and . the Greek authorities are, in tact, most ! desirous of retaining their new subjects. But despite all, they will go; ! for Christian methods or government are foreign to their customary mode j of existence. They will inevitably drift I over into Turkey. Administration Ic Awry. What is awry in Macedonia is the | administration. ln this respect a I state of chaos exists of which Greeks jare complaining quite as bitterly as I Mohammedans. It is to be hoped that the present voyage of M. Venezelos result In a thorough reorgauiza- or the province, or the consequences may bo what our French friends are apt to call "facheuses." The new governor-general, M. So- roulis, formerly prime minister of the little island of Samos, is spoken of as a capable politician, hut he lacks the experience necessary to one who is called upon to handle such a thorny problem as is Macedonia. It is hoped, however, that he will rise to the occasion. la the meantime it is generaly admitted that the one man in Greece thoroughly fitted I'or the post Is none other than the king's brother, i'rince Nicolas. Ills royal highness demonstrated extraordinary ability, tact and ���irmness as military governor during tbe difficult period which intervened between the two wars, and it was interesting to hear from the lips of the Turkish minister here that bis nomination would have given great satisfaction to the Mohammedans. M. Venezlos is, however, indisposed, to entrust the Prince with the destinies of the new province, and doubt- leas has good and sufficient reasons for his decision, though, as must be admitted, they are not appari nt to others.

I'" The Straight Line in Creating Demand "A Straight Line is the Shortest Distance between Two Points" Whatever troubles old Euclid gave us in our schooldays his axioms were simple enough. In our business life to-day we show a lively appreciation of the truth of this axiom in cutting out superfluous efforts���in the saving ol lime and labor. In making good3 the straight line is "efficiency." It is the shortest distance between raw material and finished product. In Selling Goods, the straight line is Newspaper Advertising. It is the shortest distance between the seller and the buyer. Some manufacturers are applying the straight line in the making of their goods, but neglecting it in the selling of them. Some have no line of communication with the consumer at all���many let their message meander along bypaths of "chance acquaintanceship" instead of telegraphing it along the straight line of Newspaper Advertising. Newspaper Advertising is the Shortest Distance between the two points of "Supply" and "Demand." 15 you are doing a local business talk over ycur advertising problems with lhe Advertising Department of ihn Newspaper. if you arc doing a provincial or national business it would be well for you lo hive the counsel and assmsnee cf a good advertising agency.

The welcome information that Captain Gilbert Best, of the Salvation Army, was erroneously reported as being amongst the S. A. officers who had gone down with the Empress of Ireland, was received at the Army quarters iu New Westminster yesterday. Captain Host fortunately missed the train that was to have lande<l him with bis comrades, although this was unknown to his distant friends who only knew he was booked to go with the first contingent. There is a period in the life of every man when he thinks about tbe future welfare of those dependent upon him. Sometimes this does not come until sickness overtakes him. Then he makes a will���but it may be made under wrong influence. Had the will been made during good health, the most deserving persons���according to the deceased's wish���would have shared in tbe distribution of the estate. Do you not realize that it is your sacred duty to no longer delay making your will? The advice of the Dominion Truet company in this matter may be of value to you.

For a short time just, before j nightfall last evening It looked very much as if there would be serious trouble and probably a section of the 1 excursion parly aboard planned to j make a dash for shore in lhe night. Two armed guards have been kept by the immigration department on ' board the vessel In the daytime since i she arrived. Bight o'clock in the j i vening these guards are replaced by | four men at night and these act In j conjunction with an armed party on board a launch which all night enclr-1 cles the Japanese ship to make sure that none of her passengers develop the habit of leaping overboard and swimming tn the shore of Stanley1 park, half a mile nway. Sent Threatening Letter. Early yesterday one of the Hindu leaden aboard sent a letter to Immigration Superintend* nt Raid threatening reprisals If Ihe guards were not taken off the ship. Half an hour before the change or guards w;ib scbe- j dnled last evening two Hindus grabbed Watchman Dense by Ihe amis and roughly shaking him waltzed him ! towards the gangway telling him at j tho same time that if he or any other i guards again appeared they would be thrown into the water. The second guard tiled to assist Dense, but he too was compelled to climb down the gangway to the launch. Actually, the men were not hurt at all. bin they wire forcibly ejected and warned to never return. They did not attempt io draw their guns for the big Hindu.; were buzzing angrily about them. Within a:i hour Superintendent tlcid and a party of armed city pol- ic had ; one mu iii th" ship. Mr. iteid and Interpreter Hopklnson talked with Ourdil Singh and Captain Vamamoto, who both claimed that thjy could do nothing for the main body oi the Hindus were unmanageable. Tiie leaders hint thai as the I charter of Hie Bteamer runs out on Thursday the Bteamer tin n has a li'.lit to return to the Orient and tii' Hindus in*" afraid thai thej will be taki n buck aboard her. They are simply v, ild at the thoughts "f being forced back to Yokohoma without being allowed ashore. Th:' harbormaster, Captain Reld, also explained in ihe Japanese captain that it was he .md not the Immigration officials who ordered the ship i to he anchored In tiie berth sh.- now occupti d. Clurdll Singh wis quite serious in iiis warning tin' he could nol be re sponsible for any attack by his nun on the immigration guards in the bight, so the litter were withdrawn and the launch patrol strengthened i No further trouble occurred during ihe evening, Superlntendeni Held waa asked Bboul th" matter this morning but declined) to discuss It, There is no doubt, however, but thai tlie reporl las related above is substantially true. .;. Edward Bird, counsel for the : Hindus, this morning made a formal demand on the Immigration authorities to have the court of inquiry si; : in ihr ease of Gurdit Singh charterer of tlie Komagata Main, this week. i The officials however, decline to allow this, bin say thev will take Cur ilit Singh's ease in lis proper order as his name appears on the manifest.

Vienna, June 2. The meeting of the delegations In Budapesth has proved like many of the foregoing assemblies, a fruitful occasion for a public dir.cus- tion of various matters, unpleasant and otherwise. Tbe external policy of the country has been criticized aa usual, but the speakers have failed tu point out any alternative which might have been adopted; they are none of them experts and could not direct affairs for a single day Thus their proposals aru or little value, and their criticisms carry but small weight, when they venture into the realms of external policy. Besides these speakers, who attract u good deal of attention, there is a bmall body of delegates, who represent the commercial interests of the nation, and who show plain commonI the sense in pointing out that Austria's j ed lolicy toward the sumll Balkan states [ ed, has not been calculated to advance the' mercantile interests of the country.

Aa the interest of these sneakers are those of the country at large their .vordrt are well worth hearing, and It 1st to be hoped that they will have due 1 ffect, Austria-Hungary has embarked upon an extensive naval and military program In order to please her allies, Germany in tbe north and Italy In the south, She ls enlarging her ports, i-pending large sums on submarines, hydroplanes aud wireless stations, where the most up-to-date apparatus for long distance communication in being established. The figures of the budget have been a revelation to manv politicians, and the question where the money to pay tor all these Innovations Is to come from ia one which is being eagerly- asked on nil sides. It is clear that If a larger fleet means increased com mercial relations the money will re turn to the country, but this has yet to j [h'p Le proved. p:t, London, Juue 3.���One of the most! important subjects discussed at thej recent meetings of the Baltic and White sea conference was the uueB-1 Hon of the capture of private prop-} ertjf at sea in war time. W. J. Noble, the president of the c inference, submitted a resolution' wnicb Btutid, In effect, that the con- j (sconce netted with grave apprehe-n-, slon the disastrous consequences to! merchant Shipping and sea-borne corn-: merce that must toloiw upon the exer-1 else In any future war cf the existing | right of a beligerent to capture and Confiscate the Innocent private prop-' erty of the enemy's subjects at sea, | und called on the governments of the maritime nations to take into early consideration the question of abolishing such right. It was, Mr. Noble said, perhaps not fully recognized that at present International law allowed a beligerent to capture and confiscate all the merchant ships of the enemy and any of the enemy's goods they might contain. 80 long as this right was retained it provided, he insisted, a Juh- tlable Incentive to all nations, with property In peril at sea, to provide large armaments for Its protection, and was, therefore, the main cause oi the gigantic expenditure on armaments by the various powers of tbe world. Would Help Trade. Hence one of their reasons for advo- i eating the abolition of this so-called j right was that they believed such a | step would tend to set free large, sums; for the development of trade and commerce and the reduction of taxa- Hon, in which shipowners along with Others would benefit. It was estimat- ed that the powers of Kurope sacrificed, directly or Indirectly, about I ��1,000,000,000 a year on their armies' and navies, and undoubtedly this gigantic expenditure was undermining the streiiEth and prosperity of Euro- pean nations. Proceeding, Mr. Noble said tbat thej menace to private property had been further aggravated by the right to convert merchant vessels into war-1 ships on the high seas, and the failure to come to any arrangement as to the conditions under which such conversion may take place. It was argued that the right of capture was calculated to make war so intolerable und far reaching in its effects as to con- Btltute the most powerful deterrent that could be found. To admit this argument. Mr. Noble Insisted, was to condemn tbe progress of civilization. The logical outcome' would be to .re-establish piracy, to abolish the Geneva convention, ignore I white flag and bombard undefend- towns. The right of prize, he add- was Injurious to the whole economy of the world, uud tbe law as it was at present was at variance with the essence of the comity of nations.

Increaie in Naval Strenqth. The great Increase made by Austria- Hungary In lur naval strength may be 1,-ken to be an attempt to conciliate Italy, who does not wish to be left With the entire l-'rench fleet on her bunds, should there he trouble between the countries. At the same time, while the official relations between Austria and Italy are excellent, the relations between the peoples of the two countries leave much to be desired. Not a day passes without the news of trouble between Austrian subjects of Italian nationality and the Slavs who live near the frontier of Italy. These national ocnfllcts, which are not suppressed by the authorities In a manner which is calculated to prevent iheir renetlt'on are likely to undo all the good gained by the agreement of the minlBters ol foreign affairs for both countries, and to render the great sacrifices made by AuBtrla-Hungary tn brims her fleet up to the standard of a great power of little avail. ��. In enlarging on this topic, Mr. l.an- : Igan remarked. "There is not a weed in either Chiua or Japan. Both coun- ��� tries support a wonderfully industrious i people. There is nothing wasted. A small tract Of country has to support so large a population that it would j never do to waste a grain, and so it is ' a fact that in the matter of agriculture China could show an example to most ' of the remainder of the world.

ADVERTISING TALKS By D. Maxwell Merry The News is the Morning �� Paper of New Westminster and the Fraser Valley. See that your business announcements appear in its columns. In any retail business competition is liable to take the form of price cutting. Anything which enables us to compete with our rivals on a different ground from this must commend itself to common sense and good business judgment. Apart from the fact that selling cheaper means lowering the percentage of average profit on the whole business, price cutting is destructive to good feeling and ends by being bad for everyone. All advertising is a form of competition. Everyone who advertises wants to sell something himself instead of having the consumer supplied by a competitor, but if the claim to patronage can be based upon the statement, "I sell the best" rather than upon the statement, "I sell the cheapest," the dignity of the store is better preserved and its profits will be larger. But "I sell the best" is a statement a good less easy to prove than the statement, "I sell the cheapest" If we claim to sell cheaper than our rivals, there is a very easy way in which we can prove the fact. We can print our prices. Nevertheless, "I sell the best," is capable of proof also. A retailer can use his knowledge to prove the merit of his goods. He can tell you how they are made, how chosen, where they come from and even where commodities do not vary to any appreciable extent in merit The retailer who displays a little of his technical knowledge through his advertising will build up a reputation for having that knowledge, and will be trusted as the best man to buy from. It results from this that a man who keeps the best store, because he knows how to keep the best store, will do the best advertising. This is quite as it should be. The advertised store requires to be the best store. I have previously said in these articles that the most important requisite in order to make a profit by advertising the store is to keep a good store. If customers cannot be kept, or brought back again, by the goods in the store, and the way in which the goods are sold, neither advertising nor anything else will extend, or even maintain, the business. There are times, however, when prices must be the best of a retailer's advertisements. Perhaps there is a depreciation in general prosperity. That is not the time to reduce one's advertising. The more difficult trade is to get, the more necessary it is to use all endeavors to get what trade there is, but as such times prices leap into importance as a factor of the advertiser's appeal He is not merely trying to cut the throats of his competitors. He is meeting an economic demand of the time and particularly with staple commodities���things that have to be consumed as necessities, week by week���economy is a very powerful appeal to the purchasing public. Where a reduction is temporary, it is very desirable to offer some reason for it. An honest, straightforward appeal to the thrift and good sense of buyers creates confidence and does more to attract and hold business than any other methods that can be employed.

Ttifi Por: Hoods city council met JIISlSSllllJ afternoon and advanced by- laws for a 13000 temporary loan, and .several bylaws und. r the local improve-!'nt act. for sidewalks and road lmprovomint lo the final stage. An ��� arty closing bill was ordered to be read this day six months, which Is < 'imvali i.t to its rejection. The other bylaws will be finally considert d at a special meeting on Kriday afternoon. In -regard to the money bylaw, which was originally fixed at $5000. and amended to $3000, Mayor ltoe was of the opinion that it would not ho needed. IJe thought the taxes wnald come in sufficiently fast to take care of current expenses. He knew of $1000 that would be paid In tomorrow It was considered prudent, however, to advance it to the last stage. The board of works report submitted by Alderman Mackav contained a reference to the citizens' public meeting which indorsed the proposal to rock and roll portions of Clarke and .fohn streets and intersecting streets. The cost of tbe work was estimated at $27,687 aud its life fifteen years. A discussion, initiated by Alderman Taylor, took place as to whether the torsi improvement act procedure was fiuite. fair in the circumstances. Mayor Roe said his opinion was that it was the only right way to han- ��tl��i municipal work of this kind The n_Fons were that work would only be asked for where it was actually nneded. and the property owners paid for the kind of work they wanted. In talking with the representatives of nthe.r surrounding municipalities he had been congratulated upon I'ort Moody having started right in this direr tion. AW. Taylor demurred to tlie application of the principle In this case. Paying all one's life fnr other people and th*-n have to pay especially for some- tntng to drag a mule over did not appeal to him. The mayor Vour property js in- < r'ased in value and you have the privilege of paying yourself and getting what you want. The report was adopted. Alderman Taylor dissenting, The engineer's report on the Dewdney trunk road constructed by the government last year. Owing to the dry weather and motor traffic it waa deteriorating rapidly. The total cost of putting 6400 feet of it into good shape was estimated al $1683 and oil- inp it at $17)0. The mayor was sanguine that they would get government assistance in the oiling of it. The city bud to pay- tor ordinary repairs. The report was approved. P0R1 MOODY Ml HUP SELL LXIiNGWSIIERS Post Office and Customs, a Park and Larger Wharfage Are Among Wants of the City.
