The Week A British Columbia Newspaper and Review Vol. XIV, No. 41—15th Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, March 24th, 1917 5c. a copy $2.00 a j :ar The War LAST WEEK we were able to say that tlie fall of Bapaume was hourly expected. The ink was scarcely dry before that event actually occurred, closely followed by that of the other German stronghold, Peronne. All through the week the German retirement has been" continued, and-the British and French cavalry has been turned loose on the retreating enemy. The cavalry has hitherto had no opportunity of doing anything and has been held, chafing, in reserve. There is, therefore, little doubt, that they have made themselves most objectionable to their foes. The Germans are supposed to be retiring on a strongly fortified line which they have been preparing for months, but it is possible that the closely pursuing British and French forces may bring them to bay before they can reach this haven of temporary security, or they may so hurry them that the impetus of their haste may carry them over and beyond it. They are supposed to have at least one other line of prepared positions in the rear of the Cambrai line. At any moment we may hear of an action that may almost be decisive. The weather on the front in France is improving and the surface of the ground is said to be in fair condition for the movement of troops. In their retreat the Germans are laying waste to the country, destroying orchards, demolishing towns and villages and doing every kind of wanton damage that can occur to the brutal mind of a demoralised Him. Further they are poisoning and defiling the water supply, for the pursuing troops. The New Mining Act THE outstanding feature of the new Mining Legislation brought down by the Hon. William Sloan, Minister of Mines, is the division of the mineral areas of British Columbia into six survey districts, each district to be in charge of a duly qualified mining engineer, whose duty it is to carry on continually a mineral survey of his district with complete records and plans of those surveys, to keep complete records of all official business and to make reports to the Minister of Mines. Further, these engineers, who are apparently to replace the present Gold Commissioners, are to supply information to prospectors and others as to mineral indications and as to ground open for location, such information to be based on the knowledge gained in tho above mentioned mineral surveys. Also they are to examine samples and apply such tests as maybe readily available and to give advice as to the beat methods of analysis, sampling, assay and test. They are to advise the Minister as to the necessity and possibility of making roads to open up new country and, in fact, to bo general advisers and helpers in tho development of all new fields. This is a responsibility which will call for the very highest ability, prudence, and honesty in the individual, and the success of the whole scheme depends entirely on the Government being able to secure the services of the very best men. In the past certain sections of the Province have suffered severely almost in some cases to the point of disaster from the incompetence or prejudice of mining engineers who have held no official position whatever. How much more will the mining districts be at the mercy of a mining engineer who besides bis professional abilities carries all the weight of an official Government position ? There is another clause of great interest which if properly used will prove of the greatest benefit to the investing public. This clause provides that the Minister of Mines may and the resident engineer shall in cases when the sale of mining shares is proposed on conditions not in accordance with actual facts give such personal or public notice as may protect intending investors against possible fraud. Anyone who has lived for any length of time in the mining regions of B. C. can hardly fail to call to mind instances whero the exercise of such power would have saved the public thousands of dollars, but to place such a power in the hands of any one man is to say tho least a risky experiment, as it involves the corollary that if no notice of possible fraud is given it will mean that the proposal is practically endorsed by the resident mining engineer. This Bill is indeed a now departure and one freighted with untried experiments of the most important character. When composing legislation for the benefit of the mining industry, how would it be to include'a clause abolishing tho two por cent, duty on gold? This would bo of real benefit to the miner and the tax does not produce enough revenue to make its loss a matter of concern to the Treasury. Yates Street THE citizen of Victoria who takes a walk down Yntes Street arrives at the end of his stroll with a somewhat mixed lot of emotions and with a good deal to think about. In the upper parts of the street he is filled with civic pride at tlie breadth and general spaciousness of the street, its roomy sidewalks and its splendid lamps. As ho approaches tho lower parts, his civic pride receives nn addition when he contemplates numbers of trucks and drays discharging nnd receiving merchandise. It is here that the mixture of his emotions commences. As he proceeds along the even tenor of his way he begins tn feel some little annoyance at being obliged to follow a devious course in order to avoid the masses of crates and boxes that are deposited on the sidewalks, and this annoyance increases when nt last ho discovers that there is a bare passage way left through which he can proceed. And in threading this narrow channel he is in constant danger of being run down by men wheeling huge crates on barrows, who dive across what may bo called the main passage way from divers side channels, and disappear into tho cavernous recesses of vast warehouses adjoining. It is very annoying to have his oven course thus interrupted, but it is all part nf the great commerce of his beloved city and so ho pa°>es along with some small measure of equanimity. As he goes, however, he chances to gaze at the obstructing crates and cases. Tliey contain carrots, cabbages, turnips, vegetables of all sorts, and they are marked with inscriptions showing that they do not contain the produce of the fertile acres of Saanich or of Sooke, or of the Cowichan Valley, or of any other part of British Columbia, but they all hail from California, from Oregon, or from Washington. In other words, they come from a people who may be too proud to fight, but are certainly clever enough to force their goods upon the too easy-going people of B. C.! The Harrassing of Debtors WE have been asked to take up the cudgels on behalf of debtors who are being continually "hounded" by certain so-called collection agencies. We are informed that it is the practice of some such agencies to send out notices requesting payment of accounts duo and in event of the demands not being met the account is handed over to a solicitor who proceeds to threaten the unfortunate debtor with proceedings in the County Court. In some cases, indeed, proceedings have actually been instituted even though a debtor may previously have given assurance that he is entirely without resources. We do not propose, nor could we justly take the stand that people in times of stress should be excused from meeting their obligations, for we realise that creditors must be rigidly protected, hut the practice of harrassing those who are able to show that they are not in a position to pay is not to be commended and to say the least, is most unfair. If a man has the wherewithal to pay his bills he should be forced to pay them; if he is able to liquidate his indebtedness by degrees he should be made to do so but the policy of issuing dire threats against people who are absolutely unable to settle their liabilities is one which no decent man would countenance. On the basis of prevention being better than cure, tradesmen have it in their own hands to prevent such practices by satisfying themselves in the first place that an applicant for credit is well able to meet his obligations. And even then in the majority of cases the amount of credit should be limited, Russia THE event of the week has been the revolution in Russia. It is indeed an event that will rank as one of the greatest in history of all time. Tho sudden change of a great country such as Russia from the control of an autocratic nnd often despotic monarchy to a simple Democracy, practically without bloodshed or the use of any physical force, by the sheer logic of advancing education, is an event in the world's history that may be chronicled in letters of gold. The last reports are to the effect that the late Czar and Czarina, together with various Grand Dukes and other high personages of the late regime are to be confined in the Fortress.of St. Peter and St. Paul, but there is no indication of any contemplated violence to their persons, their incarceration being rather a measure of protection to themselves against fanatical outbursts and also to keep them from being made centres of intrigue. The Irish Question IN" the midst of all the turmoil of war and strife the Irish Question, like some snake that St. Patrick failed to drive out of Ireland, again raises its ugly head. In the House of Commons a debate arose en a resolution offered by Sir James Henry DaMol calling on the Government to make another attempt to settle the Irish difficulty. In the course of the debate it was suggested that a general election might be necessary. This idea wns at once cast aside by Mr. Bonar Law. He recognized the urgency of tho matter and stated that the Government was anxious for a settlement nf it. This announcement was welcomed with loud cheering. All parties expressed the desire to aid the Government, and Mr. Asquith said that in his opinion it would be better to make an attempt nt a settlement and fail rather than make no attempt at nil, and lie was certain that the Government would have not only the sympathy but tho active co-operation nf the whole Hnuso. Under such favourable conditions and with llie ingenuity nnd ability of Mr. Lloyd Genrge in devising n scheme of settlement, it is to he hoped that this question, which has for sn many years been the disturbing factor in British pelitics, will finally be laid to rest. A suggestion has been made that advantage should be taken of the presence of the Overseas Premiers in London to call in their aid and advice in the matter. But this is hardly likely to be done and if it were, they might well decline, to take part in an affair with whieh they have nothing to do. Editorial Notes The question of the policy which will be adopted in handling the question nf the Returned Soldiers has resulted in many conferences and a great deal of talk and other matter which has been, committed to printer's ink, but so far no definite concrete scheme hns been evolved out of the mass of advice, suggestion and hints that, have accumulated. Now that, the new Provincial Government has got firmly into the saddle and holds both reins, and the whip too, it may well be expected that it will bring forward seme definite plan for dealing with this difficult question. This Returned Soldier business is the most important, matter confronting us at present. Railways, lands, mines mny well be left where they nre for another year nr two but when the great crowd nf our soldier bnys comes home we must not be caught unprepared to receive and lnnk after them. The mnlter is imperative. There is no time to waste, nnd it demands immediate attention. What has happened to the >jitney? On some routes which formerly were more A less well served by jitneys there are now no- cars at all, on other routes the service is, to put it mildly, somewhat of a desultory character and there seems to be no effort made to run on any kind of schedule. The jitneys at present cannot be called a public convenience—they are merely a convenience for their drivers who evidently run when it best pleases them. And it generally pleases the drivers to operate in the "rush" hours of the day—the only time when the one properly constituted transportation company gets a chance to make up somewhat for lack of business at other times. Obviously the jitney men should be forced either to give a proper service or else to quit altogether. The present state of things is not only unsatisfactory to the public but is unfair to the B. C. Electric Co. It is always pleasant to see one's ideas take root and bud out. Last week we wrote in favour of women taking part in gathering the fruit harvest of B. C. and now we see that the members of the Soldiers and Sailors Mothers and Wives Red Cross Association at a meeting at South Vancouver have unanimously resolved to offer their services to the fruit growers of the Province during the coining Summer for fruit picking. These ladies are evidently in earnest in the matter as they are considering ways and means of establishing a creche for their children so that they will be absolutely free for their work. It is now up to the fruit farmers to sec that all arrangements that can be aro made for the convenience of these energetic and patriotic ladies. Those who read the proclamation issued by the Chinese Government cannot, fail to ho impressed with the dignified, clear-cut statements set out. Entirely devoid of flowery language and without any show of ostentation, the proclamation is drawn up with a definite purpose in view-—that of announcing to the world the reason for the severance of relations with the world's Chief Enemy. No references to "watchful waiting," "armed neutrality," or "strict accountability" are made—for the reason thnt China apparently possesses sufficient backbone to say what she means. The prestige of China will no doubt bo considerably enhanced for she, at least is fit to take her place amongst the nations anxious and determined to guard their interests. Despatches received recently from Toronto show a serious state of things in connection with the hotel business. The Hotel Mossop, situate on Victoria Street, one of the best conducted lintels in the eity, has been forced to close its donrs and the manager states that the owners will lose between $200,000 and $250,000 without counting the value of the property. The future of the celebrated King Edward Hotel apparently hangs in the balance-—its financial position is known to be most critical. For this state of things Prohibition is responsible nnd the sympathy of all fair-minded men will go out to those who will be forced to suffer such unnecessary losses—unnecessary because nf the fact that no prevision is made for compensation. It mny be somewhat late in the day to call attention to faulty methods in the recruiting system, but, it is never too lato to correct errors. Recruits nro still being called for and the response is somewhat, slack and one of tlie causes of this is the extremely faulty medical examination of recruits. There are several cases in which men have given up lucrative positions to join the forces of the King and hnve been duly accepted and passed by the local medical examiner. Then they have been carefully drilled and trained for months at a great expense to tho Dominion, but when the Battalion to which they belong bus been ordered te proceed to England, and in snnie cases nfter it has reached Great Britain, these men have been discharged ns medically unfit and thrown back upon their own resources after having given up everything in Iheir endeavour to serve tlieir King nnd Country. Tin's is grossly unfair tn these men, nnd also tn tlie taxpayers of Canada, and all through lhe incompetence nr negligence of the local medical authorities. It is lo ho hoped that tlie new arrangements that have been made for the medical examination of recruits will obviate all scandals of this nature in the future. It is satisfactory tn note that the Municipal Cnminittco of the Legislature has turned down a request that, tlie Rule nf the Bead in British Columbia should lie altered to conform with the custom in use in other Provinces of Canada and in Ihe Slates to the South of us. The other Provinces of Canada have probably fallen in with llie custom nf the United Stales, hut in view nf the present deplorable condition of that country ns a nation and its pusilnninious conduct in fnco of the repealed insults of Germany, British Columbia mny well refrain from copying any nf her customs or adopting any of her habits.

Page Two THE WEEK Saturday, March 24 A Al tfi) * 0> tgb * 5* #, (4) * * sfe MAETERLINCK ON § GHOSTS 9 CANADIANS WANTED FOR # By J. Arthur Hill Psychical research seems a remote subject, in these days of strenuous war, but a new book by Maurice Maeterlinck is an event whicli draws our attention even amid the clash of arms. And indeed the subject of his latest contribution ("The Unknown Guest," Methuen, os. net) hy touching the great question of human survival of death, will have an interest of a mournful yet helpful kind to many a reader whose dear ones have given their lives for tlieir country in the great conflict. Moreover, Maeterlinck now has a greater claim than ever on our regard, for he belongs to the brave little nation which resisted the unprovoked German invasion, thus giving us time—also unready for unprovoked and treaty-breaking attacks— to put up some sort of defence. We sorrow for the sufferings of wronged and outraged Belgium. German indemnities shall rebuild the ravaged Belgian towns when nil is over, but nothing can pay for or undo the suffering tliat has been caused. In his new book, M. Maeterlinck gives us five essays on Phantasms of the Living and the Dead, Psychometry, The Future. The Elberfeld Horses, and The Unknown Guest. The title of the last one is his name for the subconsciousness or subliminal — that mysterious deeper part of our own self which seems to be the cause or source of most if not all psychical phenomena. The author quotes many ghost stories from the Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research, nnd fully believes that these things do indeed happen. As to explanations, he thinks that many ghosts are telepathic hallucinations—i.e., that they are projected from the mind of some living person—but he admits that this theory is difficult of acceptance when the ghost appenrs persistently, to many different people, and for many years after the person's death, ns in the Captain Morton hnunted-house case, which he quotes. Perhaps the time is not yet ripe for theorizing at all. The phenomena are puzzling, it is true; but, it is good for us to be puzzled. It incites to investigation and prevents undue self-esteem. The most interesting of M. Maeterlinck's personal investigations was that concerned with the "thinking horses" of Elberfeld. These animals have set scientific Europe by the ears. Grave professors of psychology have journeyed far to see and test them, and their performances have given rise to grent controversy, some maintaining that it is all a fraud, the majority mystified but unwilling to pronounce either way, and a considerable number ndmitting that the horses really and undeniably do things which hitherto no horse had been thought capable of doing. The best of them— the stallion Muhnmed—will extract the square root of a number running- into, thousands, giving lhe answer practically instantaneously, by scrapes or taps with its forefeet. It is not telepathy, for the answer is still correct if no one present has yet worked it out; and it is not fraud, for the horse's owner willingly goes out—ns he did in M. Maeterlinck's case— leaving the investigator'to set his own sums, alone wilh the horse. Nny, moro than this—the uncanny benst cun spell out words, by an arranged code (tf so many scrapes for such and such a letter, and thus can practically talk. True, it doesn't say much, but on being shown n picture of n girl and being asked what il was. Muhnmed scraped mil "Metgen" (misspelt for Mtiilclicn, girl), and on being asked why it was a girt, he replied: "Weil king 11 r lid." (Because has long hair, —vowels of llniir omitted, and lid written for hat.) On this occasion, however, lhe horse's owner was presenl. so trickery by signalling is not excluded; though it is only fair lo say Unit tlie owner (Mr. Krall) makes no profit out of his animals, being a rich jeweller who has made a hobby of animal training, and giving the impression of being a perfectly honest gentleman and n zealous scientific experimenter. Probably none of M. Maeterlinck's renders will believe all this. Tt is loo much for us lo swallow. The present wriler 'annot quite believe it, though his own psychical investigations—not with horses—have made him wary of saying thai anything is impossible, M. Maeterlinck is convinced, naturally enough, for he saw the things done himself. He does not believe, however, (hut in the square-root performances the horses renlly do calculations. He himself confesses Hint mathematics have always inspired him "with invincible terror," nnd he ennnot believe that, horses can do sums wliich he cannot do. Ho, therefore, attributes to the animals n subliminal con- ■J>< For Duty off the Coast of Canada. r Applications for immediate service as officers in the Canadian Naval Patrols are requested from ex-officers in the Royal Navy, the Naval Reserve, or men holding Officers' Certificates in the Mercantile Marine.

But if the spelling and talking part is genuine, it is hardly possible to avoid the conclusion that the horse really thinks, in much the same way that we do. And it is curious and noteworthy that Mr. Krall does not think his horses are exceptional. He succeeds lo some extent with nearly every one thnt he tries to teach: somo can only learn to do addition and subtraction, failing to attain unto square roots, but almost nil can do something. The reason why we have not discovered the horse's powers sooner, is merely that it had not occurred to us to try to teach him. As to the possibility of genuine prediction of the future, M. Maeterlinck quotes n few remarkable incidents, and thinks ihat time is probably nn illusion, Past, Present and Future being really one, ns Dante and most great poets have said; and it may be that some peculiarly endowed people may occasionally get gleams of events which nre in what we call the Future, inasmuch as the latter is really existent now, though normally—and wisely —hidden from us. Of psychometry the author has no doubt. He has found by his own experience that a medium, by handling a letter or worn article which has been in close touch with a person, can sometimes describe the physical appearance, state of health, mental characteristics, etc., of that person. The present writer can confirm this, from his own investigations. As to the explanation, there isn't one—at least not yet. The "subliminal" is only a name. It covers up our ignorance a litlle, that is nil. M. Maeterlinck admits this, iu his charming and geninl style; hut he thinks the subject is well worth inquiring into nnd writing nbout so thnt we mny find something out, if possible. There is room for any amount of discovery in this field, and it is to be hoped that when we get settled down nfter the wnr, further and more striking ndvnnces will be mnde. Meanwhile, all who are interested iu the subject will be thankful to M. Maeterlinck for Ihe fascinating essays ill his latest volume. B. C. FUNERAL CO. Victoria, B. C.

The foliage is good and the plants arc not particularly liable to attacks of rust. They will withstand a reasonable amount of drought and will grow well on a great variety of soils. It should be remembered, however, that, as a rule, barley does not succeed on soils which are badly in. need of lime. While it is early in ripening— like nearly all barleys of its class—it docs not mature exceptionally early, being perhaps a trifle later than the average. The awns of this barley adhere somewhat firmly, so that, for best results, it should be in thoroughly dry condition when threshed. The grain is of a very good yellowish colour, and quite free from the objectionable greenish or bluish shade which lessens the value of some barleys for exhibition purposes.

TAXATION OF 0HUK0HES (Experimental Farms Note) This six-row barley is a selection mnde several years ago by the Dominion Cerealist from lho old commercial sort, Mensury, whicli hns been favourably known in Canada for n long lime and has been successfully grown in very many districts. As llie tests in regard to yield nre still, in progress, final conclusions cannot yet bo drawn; bnt it may be stated that the new selection nppenrs to be, for mnny sections of this country, the most productive barley known among those sorls which have fairly satisfactory straw. Tho straw of this barley is of good lenglh and strength, ns compared with olhor popular six- row sorts; but it should he emphasized Hint even the best barleys have a tendency to lodgo when sown on rich soil, in seasons when moisture is plcn- liful. The hends of Ibis variety aro exceptionally lo'hg nnd heavy, and herein, perhaps, lies the secret of its large yield. In very high winds it docs not hcbnvo quile so well as some of the other sorts ns it shows a tendency for the heads to break off at lho base, and fnr tho kernels to Ihresh out. on tho ground.

Sir,—The Civic Fathers of Victoria have ranged Ihemselves against the exemption of Church Property from luxation. This in lhe year of our Lord .1017! It may lie of interest to recall that in 1115 A. D. the heathen Emperor Constnnline exempted from taxation nil churches and all properly of clergy. This in un era when to profess Christianity was to risk torture and death. No one will gainsay Unit nowadays the Christianity of lhe average man is purely nominal, even nt a time when Ihe vnlue of tho Christian Sacraments and Ihe veracity of the Catholic truths are being proved every dny on lhe field ofbnltlc. Perhaps the opponents of exemption do not realize that by relieving the church of the henvy burden of taxation they would enable her to increase her ministry and to onlnrgc her ministrations. "He who is not with mo is against me." Are the opponents of church exemption for taxation prepared to rango themselves against Christ? FIDEUS.

In spite of this there are still almost as many children as ever dressed in military style and it would seem that no attempt has been made by the authorities to enforce the order. The idea of children strutting about in these miniature uniforms is ridiculous and has nothing in its favour. As a Lounger, it being my duty to lounge for my living, I have seen scores of children so dressed and I have always been struck with the utter stupidity of the thing. Parents who dress their children in such a manner may consider it "smart," or some may even think that to give a "military" air to their offsprings—or those of them who can walk —is patriotic, whereas it is idiotic. It is likely to bring tlie khaki into disrepute and to belittle the value of it us and when applied to soldiers. The Military authorities ought to enforce their order, but pending tlieir coming to n decision about it, the misguided mothers and fathers should cease to allow their children to be the objects of ridicule and moke them return to rational dress. A dny or two ago I wandered into Terry's new soda rooms with the idea of trying a "lunchenette." My experience forces me to refer to the matter in this column and though I have always rigidly barred anything in the nature of an advertisement in my notes, I consider that Mr. Terry is more than entitled to any benefit that might accrue to him from this reference. His soda rooms are bright, well aired and well lighted. The furniture at once attracts the eye on entering, the pretty peacock blue which is tlio predominating colour, being most restful to tlie eyes and in fact the whole surroundings are entirely in accord with what one would expect in a really first class restaurant. There is something of a novelty in the way in which the food is served wliich makes it additionally attractive and the food itself is all that can bo desired. But what, perhaps, is of great importance to the large majority of people is the price. Those with moderately inclined taste can obtain a dainty lunch for from twenty to thirty cents and this very fact augers well for the entire success of Mr. Terry's venture. He has seized the opportunity of providing a variety of light lunches at a "light" price, and for this deserves the support of all who have hitherto complained of the scarcity of places where such is provided. In the course of my lounging in various sections of the town, I have been rather forcibly struck by the large number of empty shops which have either been left in a very dirty condition by the previous tenant or else have been nllowed to accumulate dust and dirt and in some cases seem to have fallen into desuetude. Cobwebs, dust, torn paper hanging from the walls or ceilings, and refuse have in some cases been allowed to accumulate, presenting a most unattractive appearance to the passer-by, and, besides proving distinctly detrimental to the general appearance of the street, serving as a means to keep nwoy prospective tenants. Would it not be possible for the owners and agents of these dirty premises to get together and employ some returned soldiers to clean them throughout? Not only would this provide several days' work for quite a few men, but it would considerably enhance the appearance of the streets and give one the impression that the owners concerned were really anxious to secure tenants. I wish to thank all those who have expressed appreciation of my remarks a fortnight ago on the question of the wrapping and handling of bread. My idea has always been to assist in setting right certain grievances from which the public from time to time suffers by giving publicity in this column, and to know that I have in some measure been successful is quite gratifying and would seem to provide a good reason for the continual babblings of a OCrx <rtotcj>&*. NEWS OF THE PROVINCE Purchased Berry Crop Mr. Beech, representing the King- Beech Co., of Mission, B. C, was in the valley last week and arranged to purchase practically the entire crop of strawberries for the coining season. The prevailing price offered the growers wns seven cents per pound in bulk. ,—Chilliwack Progress. Regarding Potato Shortage A correspondent makes a valuable suggestion for dealing with the present potato shortage in the Province. As the result of many years' experience he says that if the seed-ends of all the potatoes used in private homes, hotels and restaurants wore preserved when the potatoes were being prepared for consumption, enough seed-potatoes would be available to provide for a large crop. The seed- ends of the best tubers preferably should be selected and our correspondent declares that if arrangements could be made for collection nnd sale to the grower greater benefit would result.—Vancouver World. McBride Coming Back? Sir Bichard McBride has many old time friends in Dewdney, some of whom hear from him occasionally. At the recent convention held hero one of these old-time friends was telling another of the delegates he had recently —a day or two before—heard from Sir Richard who said he had been asked to run at one of the coming provincial by-elections. We were unable to find out which one, but it was hinted that it was Vancouver.—Fraser Valley Record. Farmers' Company Is Organized On Wednesday afternon the final organization wns completed of..a new association of local fruit-growers and shippers with the object of marketing their produce direct to the consumers on the Prairies through connection with the Grain Growers' Association. The offices of the company will be in Vernon, nnd its principal objects are to keep down packing nnd overhead charges, and deal directly with tho purchasers of fruit and produce across the mountains. The directors state that they have already affected marketing arrangements that will give lliein n wide distribution through their connection with the Grain Growers' Association.—Vernon News. Great Demand for Coke To meet the increased demand for coke, the Canadian Collieries have decided to build 100 new coke ovens at Union Bay. When the new ovens are completed there will be nbout 250 coke ovens ill operation at Union Bay. —Vernon News. The Sugar Beet Industry Promoters of the proposals to establish a sugar beet growing industry in British Columbia say that opposition to tlieir scheme is coining from the B. C. Sugar Refinery. Tlie matter will come before the legislature. Tlie two chief locations for the proposed beet farm and plants nre in the Stewart Lake country, while others may be located, it is said, at Sumas, Pitt Lake and Lillooet. The promoters of tlie new company urge on its behalf that there will be a substantial reduction in the price of sugar if the industry is established.—Kamloops Standard Senti- iml. Serious Water Shortage Mining men of long experience in Kootenay and Boundary state that the shortage of water for mining purposes is this winter the worst in memory. The freezeup at high altitudes early in tlie winter, which lias prevented snow from seeping through into the creeks, is regarded as the cause. But for the fact that many of the larger mines of the country have in past years made preparations for auxiliary power or for securing water at points which will ensure a supply under the most unfavourable conditions, the shortage this year would havo compelled a marked reduction in output.-—Vernon News. Early Closing at Ganges The stores nt Ganges have decided to alter their half-holiday from Friday to Tuesday afternoon. All are now safely isolated at the smallpox hospital, where adequate facilities, are at hand for giving the best possible treatment.—World. Sensational Price for Boll Mr. Frank Collicut has purchased a two year old Hereford bull from Harris & Sons of Harris, Missouri. The purchase price was $11,900 cash. This price has only been exceeded once in Canada. Mr. Collicut has the largest herd of Herefords in the Dominion of Canada and one of the largest in the world. It comprises 600 head, of whieh 350 are breeding females. Hon. Duncan Marshall, Minister of Agriculture, announced the purchase to the members of the Alberta Legislature recently and took advantage of the occasion to pay a tribute to the enterprise of Mr. Collieutt, and to congratulate him on this addition which will mean a great deal to the industry of breeding pure bred cattle in Alberta. — Crag and Canyon (Banff). Large Colonization Scheme A syndicate is placing before the Government a proposition to colonize 102,000 acres of land in the Stewart Lake region for the purpose of raising sugar beets.—Ashcroft Journal. Fruit Growers Are Given Concession The British Columbia Fruit Growers' Association has obtained valuable concessions from the Dominion Express Company in connection with the express shipment of cherries, berries and currants in carload lots, by which it is expected that the growers nnd shippers of British Columbia will save thousands of dollars during the coming seasons. The express company has agreed to give uulonding-in- transit privileges covering, two un- loadings nt $5 apiece. In past years it has been impossible to obtain this concession, with the result that the British Columbia shippers of small fruits were not able to make as full use of the express carload method as they desired.—Kelowna Courier. Warning to Workingmen A Vancouver workingman has written to the local labour officials stating that men who are led to look to the workings of the B. C. Copper Co. at Princeton as a place of employment, should be sure of their jobs before making the trip. He says that machine miners, fitters and mechanics are often induced to go to the place, only to find that men are being laid off and that there is no work, the idea being to keep a surplus of labour available. The writer says he can speak on the subject from experience, as he is out $30 as the result of the trip.—B. C. Federationist. Prolific Production A recent number of "Farm and Dairy" gave tlie production of L. F. Snowball Althea, a two-year-old Hol- stein heifer owned by Mr. L. F. Solly, Lnkeview Farm, Westholme. This animal produced 12,120 pounds of milk and 408 pounds of fat during the twelve months and won the silver medal presented by the B. C. Dairymen's Association in the Holstein class for the second highest margin in passing the Record of Performance tests during 1916 in. B. C—Cowichan Leader. Samayoa will present his sensational cloud swing, and the fourth episode of the "Pearl of the Army" serial will round out a programme which promises unusual interest.
