WILL ANYTHING BE DONE ON IT IN 1922? Suggestion Is Made That Project Is Held Up for New Route (Penticton Herald.) The Transprovincial road situation is a matter which is giving local organizations considerable anxiety according to the expression of opinions at recent meetings of the Board of Trade and the Good Roads League. Below are presented reports of sessions of these bodies at which thb report that the government did not intend to go ahead with HopfrPrince- ton road construction this year was discussed. One report has it that the new minister of works intends to "switch" to the Fraser Canyon road; another statement is that he believes a road between Hope and Princeton can be found which wil1 be superior either to the old Cleveland survey or to the Dewdney trail. The latter route is the one recommended by Engineer Gwyer and chosen by Hon. Dr. King, former minister of works. But it is said that Dr. Sutherland believes a road following pretty much the same route as the Kettle Valley railway would be better still. The loca1 board of trade has Joined in the agitation over the Hope- Princeton road, and on Tuesday of last week instructed Past President McDougall and Secretary D. McN. Lowe to send a strongly worded protest to Hon. Dr. Sutherland on the subject. Interior wil1 not be delayed any further." There was only a small attendance at the meeting on Thursday evening, of the Good Roads League, owing to other events taking plac-5 at the same time. Some interesting d'acussions took place, however, chief of whicu was the question of tho necessity for immediate action with regard to the construction of the Hope-PnUoetou section of the trans-provincial highway. The action taken by the officers of the league in wiring the minister of public works protesting against th-? apparent decision of the government to abandon this work on the road for this year Was confirmed, an3 a committee appointed to immediately draft a resolution and forward it to Premier Oliver and Hon. Dr. Sutherland, pointing out the urgency of starting and carrying out the road programme in order that the road may be completed in 1923. The election of officers for the enduing year was left over until the lood Roads luncheon, to be held on Thursday, at the Shasta. On this -ccasion, one of the most interesting ;>ieces of business will be the choosing of a permanent camp site. \CTIVITIES OF GAME PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION It was reported at the meeting that although Dr. Sutherland at his by- IjjtaB told the Revelstoke electors -"rover^r'.ent would give that con- y ; rou.sh connection by way h:\.v;;'"o};e?r-'rin:cej.on road, he had ^^i&l^^y-.Jhis mind. In proof of kis a letter from the minister in re- "*le~ am, wa« produced. In it Dr. "■ih°rla.nd said that the department ^-d ' "ot. yet obtained sufficient in- ;"orma ion about the Hope-Princeton road to warrant the expenditure of so much money without more detail." And this after about ten years of enquiry. \bso ute bunk," was the comment lllll 1 by o e member of the board of ||||g:''jip .; he Sutherland letter. It was pointed out that Hon. Dr. King, former works minister, had officially stated that, following full investigations lasting through several "easons, the government had decided 0 co" struct a secondary road be- ■ I o~e ard Princeton by way of fiSifiDewdney trail, .Ju his letter to the local Good Sqjajdl League the new minister said that there would possib'y be no expenditure on the transprovincial road | oiec this year except in gathering ro information. .'he consensus of opinion at the board of trade session was that the rovernment did not want to undertake he expenditure on a transprovincial ioad this year and had therefore delayed the project on the plea of further inquiry. The resolution forwarded to the minister by the local board of trade reads: ' Whereas the attention of the Penticton board of trade has been directed to the fact that the provincial public works department has apparently decided not to proceed with the construction of the Hope-Princeton link of the trans-provincial highway this year, and "Whereas the early construction of a road linking the Coast and the Interior is urgently needed for many reasons which have frequently been outlined, and "Whereas the former minister of public works for the province, Hon. J. H. King publicly stated in the prc^ vincial legislature that the government after several years of study and investigation of various routes had decided upon the Dewdney trail route between Hope and Princeton, and promised 'hat construction would be Started this season, therefore "Be it resolved that this board j strongly urge the present minister of ! public works, Hon. Dr. Sutherland, to adhere to the decision which the I provincial government has already announced and to implement the 1 mise made by his predecessor |p office in order that the furnishing of road connection- between Coast and I At the regular meeting of the ^rinceton Fish and Game Protective Association held last week the chief 3ubject of discussion was the re-stocking of some of the streams and lakes in the district with trout fry.

DAIRY PRODUCTS EXPORTATION Official Grading to be Undertaken With a View to improvement and Uniformity NO BIRDS, NO FORESTS Insects are among the worst en- amies of the human race. They de- s roy millions of dollars worth of rm crops annually in Canada and :!ieir destruction of timber in the forests is also very heavy. The officers of the Dominion Department of Agriculture and of the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior are constantly working to reduce the damage fom this curse. So far as the general public is concerned, and his applies particularly to boys and girls, the best help they can give is :o protect the birds. In some cases n England owners have saved their planted forests by putting up bird- houses and inducing certain kinds of birds to come to their plantations. In Canada in the past insects have been kept in control by birds. If the birds are destroyed or driven away, he insects multiply exceedingly and the farms and the forests suffer. Cats are inveterate bird killers and cat owners both in the city and the country should be on the alert to prevent such destruction. As the Dairy and Co;d Storage Com- mission of the Dominion Department of Agriculture states, the development of the dairying industry in New Zealand during the last twenty years is of great significance to Canada. In 1904 that country exported 35,203,728 lbs. of butter and 8(,651,920 lbs. of cheese. Seventeen years later it exported 72,894,752 lbs. of butter and 151,588,304 lbs. of cheese. This enormous increase of over a hundred per cent, in one instance and fifteen hun- hdred per cent, in the other is trribut- able to management, industry, and climatic and pastoral conditions, and to the fact, in the ease of cheese, that their product is better seasoned on landing than our own. The last fact the Commissioner is inclined to attribute in a measure to the greater distance the cheese has to be carried, and to the eare that is taken in temperature during transportation. Whatever the cause, it is plainly up to Canada to adopt every measure that is calculated to bring about not only improvement but stability in the situation as far as she is concerned. One s ep in this direction, and a most beneficial step it is hoped it will Piove, is the proposed grading and standardization of dairy products sent from this country. Nothing of this nature emanates from the Department at Ottawa without consulting the interests concerned. Conferences are ueld to which representatives of dairy and allied associations are invited, as well as both Dominion and provincial officials. At the most recent gather- ng of this kind held at Ottawa, upwards of sixty delegates were present and the consensus of poinion proved to be overwhelming in favor of grading. Addresses were delivered by "on. W. R. Motherwell, Dominion Tinis;er of Agriculture, Dr. J. H. Gristle, Deputy Minister; Miss Helen G. Campbell, milk specialist of the Department; and Mr. J. A. Rudd^CS! -Qairy^Soniinisioner, who resided.. Bis-.. oussion of the qeustion in all its hases took place, and it was understood that regulations under the Dairy roducts Act would be formuated as regards the grading of exports and put in force as soon as a staff of thor- >ughly quail-graders could be got together. It is proposed that there be four graders each for butter and cheese, the butter being designated is specials, firsts, seconds, and off- grades, and the cheese as first, finest, fine, seconds and off-grades.—Issued by the Director of Publicity, Department of Agricuture, Ottawa. ASK MRS. SMITH TO LECTURE TO SOUTH AFRICAN WOMEN IN PENROSE'S SEAT George W. Pepper, Philadelphia lawyer, is the new senator from Pennsylvania, having been appointed by Governor Sproul to serve the tan« expired term of Boise Penrose, Republican leader who died recently. Vancouver, April 16. — Mrs. Mary Ellen Smith, M. L. A., has been asked by the Ama"gamated Society of Women of South Africa to go to that country and address them on the question of women suffrage and on Canada. It is several weeks since the letter containing the invitation was received,, Mrs. Smjith explained today, and another letter came this week, urging her to make a decision. They are anxious to have her there by September. "There is no woman suffrage yet in South Africa," said Mrs. Smith, 'and it is in connection with their ghv to secure the vote that they vant me primarily. They are also inxious to hear about Canada and the ways of women in this Dominion. I must make up my mind by the middle of May, as they want to open the lecture campaign in September. If I agree to go it will take me away from Canada for six months, and it is just a question whether I can af- ord the time from my other duties." OSPITAL DANCE A SUCCES8 ""he dance held in the I. 0.

The management of the local hospital would be very grateful for donations of eggs in any quantity as it is desirous to place in water glass for winter use as many as possible. Al- reaidy the Girls' Bluebird Club have contributed a considerable quantity, and these will be acknowledged in the reguar way in these columns. The Ladies' Hospital Auxiliary wish to thank the bachelors and all others who did so much toward making the hospital dance on Monday night such a success.

Mr. Charlton has been in the employ of the Canada Copper Corporation for a period of three years; and during that time they have made many friends in the district, who will miss them very much. FOREST EXHIBITS CAR TO VISIT PRINCETON MONDAY The Forest Exhibits car of the Canadian Forestry Association, a travelling school in forest protection, will visit Princeton on Monday, May 8, and a hearty invitation nas been extended to the public to "come aboard." The interior of the Forest Exhibits car has been made highly pleasing to the eye by scores of photographic transparencies lighted by electric bulbs which tell the recreational side of forestry. Lattice work partitions divide the car into the semblance of rooms. The walls on one side of the paisage-Way are fitted with lighted show-cases showing such processes as "The Evolution of a Match," "Canada's Fur Bearing Animals," "The Story of our Water Powers," and a display of the forest destroying insects that have become such a menace to British Columbia. In the centre section a large and beautiful "Erosion model" tells the contrasting story of two farms, one protection by forests on the surrounding hillsides, the other ruined by the deforesting of the slopes. A model of a pulp and paper town also at- feFaet»-«M«rf^*tt«at»oar^sit&whiBr a» 4*T^MrT"AT~Dr Wbfg&afyTsr~BTel5g5' does how many industries are based upon the forest and how important is forest fire prevention. Last year, nearly 200,000 people, mostly in the very small centres of Eastern Canada visited the car. This year it was re-equipped especially for British Columbia. The Canadian Forestry Association which contro's the car has no connection with any government or commercial interest and has invited the general public to regard the car as their own, during its stay here. \ 60ALM0NT NEWS | (From our own correspondent.)

W. Gregory reported having arranged, while on his recent trip to the Coast, for Mr. E. Waterman to attend the monthly 'inclieon of the Vancouver Automobile Club which is to be held on Wednesday, April 26. The secretary's action was endorsed by the Board. Mr. Waterman wir endeavor to interest the Vancouver club in trying to induce the government to push completion of the Hope-Princeton section of the highway this summer. A committee was formed to look into the matter of procuring of a suitab1 ? ^-o - for tourists. Thro; new members were elected at this meeting. Word was received in Princeton this week that Dave Day, brother of Messrs. Chas. and Thos. Day, had passed away at Tacoma on Thursday, April 13. The late Mr. Day was well known in the Similkameen, having worked as a compositor on the Star in the early years of the present century; he left Princeton about thirteen years ago to take up his abode in Tacoma. He has been in indifferent health for a number of years, but neveretheless the news of his death came as a shock to all relatives and friends'. In company with his wife, who survives him, he re-visited his brothers in Princeton last summer. NOW THE AUTO VAMP Helen McGinnis of Chicago has been convicted as being aa automobile vamp.

FRIDAY, APRIL. 21, 1922 PUBLIC HEALTH ACTIVITY SUPPLIES FOR CHILDREN REACH THE SPOT There are some people, who while, they admit that the starving Russian children should receive relief, still j they withhold their contributions on the pretext that they are not sure that the money would reach its d#she< destination. On this point their fears | are groundless. Everything that can4 be done to satisfy the most exacting on this point has been done. On this matter Dr. Nansen, appointed by the League of Nations to co-ordinate relief work in Russia says: "Everybody who has given to the funds of the relief in Russia, and everyone who will give to them, may have the most absolute assurance that, so far as our agreement is con- The convention of the Graduate Nurses' Association and the Low«r Mainland Child Hygiene Conference, held in New Westminster during the week, have served to call attention to kerned, the resources which they place the extensive community activities for at our disposal will reach_ j the promotion of health. The Pro-1 whom th^ are vincial Health Department, the Uni versity Health Department, the Victorian Order of Nurses, the Women's Institutes have been co-ordinating their activities in this direction for the great good of the community, and the extent of their useful work compels admiration for the spirit of public service that, has actuated their efforts. Yet only a Deginning has been made, and what greater benefit to the province will result from more extended efforts,, cannot be readily estimated. Undoubtedly it will be far-reaching and will lay the foundation for a standard of public health tha.t will place British Columbia in the forefront of the provinces in this respect. Through the influence of the Provincial Public Health Department and the Victorian Order of Nurses, the child hygiene movement is being extended into the rural districts. By the organization of the Lower Matfn- land District Council the work in the Fraser Valley will be co-ordinated and linked up with province-wide activities. It will all be very helpful, and contribute to making this favored province a: still more attractive land for those who would get the best out of life amid agreeable surroundings. The British public, Dr. Nansen added, might have specia? assurance on that point. Everything contributed within the British Isles had been and would be administered by British hands and under British supervision and control." Surely, in the face of such an emphatic statement, nothing more on this score can be asked? All Canadian contributions pass through British relief agencies in Russia. Those who have charge of the distribution know their business, and their methods have stood the test of experience It is furthermore to be remembered that all contributions will be spent on food and supplies purchased in Canada. Thus, while the Russian children will get the relief, Canadian business will also benefit.

It is to such that an appeal is now made, and made with all the earnestness that can possibly be put into it. The need in Russia is just as great now as ever it was. This was made evident by the stojry toid by Professor Atkinson, of Melbourne, Australia, fresh from the scenes in famine stricken Russia. In speaking of them he says that one has to steel one's heart against the horrors they are so terrible. He furthermore says that the need for help will continue, until the Russian crop is harvested. Surely you will not be deaf to the appeal that is made on behalf of the Russian children by the Canadian Committee of the Save the Children Fund? Make your contribution today. Don't let this opportunity of doing a good deed pass. Send your contribution to Sir George Burn, Treasurer of the Save the Children Fund, Elgin Building, Ottawa. Wood is such a convenient material, on account of the ease with which it may be worked^ its relative strength, its low cost, and attractive appearance, tha.t if it could be rendered fireproof it would be almost ideal for many purposes. The Forest Products Laboratories of Canada, under the Department of the Interior are investigating various processes for rendering wood resistant to fire. The Laboratories point out that it is possible, by impregnation with certain salts, to render wood flre-retard- antr~that is"- to decrease its natural inflammability very considerably. It can thus be made extremely difficult to ignite and the persistence of glowing embers can be prevented. This is an important step. in the desired direction and in view of the progress already made, it is hoped that the processes may be made even more efficient.

Those who were impressed by it should look up the career- of the writer, Francis W. Hurst. He was an extreme pacificist, both before and during the war, and can always be counted on to attack those who were responsib'e in any prominent way for the part Which Britain played. At the outbreak of hostilities he was editor of the London Economist. From the vantage ground of that position he screamed during the last days of July and the first of August, 1914, against all suggestion that Britain should intervene. His articles of that date are worth Heading now.

His friends became anxious and a party consisting of It. J. Marks, W. B. Marks and Chas. Christopherson started out to find him; they returned after three days without locating his body. They are quite sure that he perished soon after leaving J. J. Marks' cabin, where he evidently stayed over night. As the snow is between five and six feet deep it is quite impossible to find any trace except that they found some traps on the trail which he threw away ivken he became exhausted. It is thought tha,t his body will be found when the snow melts somewhere near the traps and off the trail where he would likely seek shelter from the storm. DAN FERGUSON, Prop.

LYALL Manager III.—GAMBLING Gambling is as old as the ages— Adam, we believe, gambolled with Eve. We do not wonder at primitive man gambling, for he worshipped the god of caprice. Chaos and chance were his dimities. But the man of today lives in a world of law and order. He is conscious of the setting of .his life as controlled by system; there is a logical sequence and regularity about it all. His own life, too, insofar as he was advanced in the way of civilization, has been reduced to order, law, system. In other words he recognizes the control of reason in the works of nature, and also in the social life about him. Gambling is a reversion to the primitive; it departs from foundations of law and order and returns to the savage's dependence on caprice. In principle it is contrary to all human progress., which is essentially the ordering of our life in ever increasing degree by reason. It denies all system in the apportionment of property and introduces its devotee into a.charmed cireil© where things come to one and pass from one as by a magic wand. This is the prime fallacy of ,gamblin; the abandonment of reason, the amendment --of-all or (Rnary factors of human d^ection and Control. . From this.point of view it is anti- socid; it is subversine of the whole* system and order of organized society: It controverts^ the fundamental principles on which that society is founded. It is not only anti-social but anarchistic;. itv..will,,recognize no laV or government or order.. .Labor or human 'effort is the basis, of the right of property according to the customs of ail civilized peoples, but gambling would determine the right of property by chascje. -This is .the radical rea- spiwthat a?evei*e laws have been passed prohibiting gambling ( i. e., professional gambling) in both England and Canada. There are two ways of acquiring wealth; one is the old fashioned way,,of industry, skill, vigilance and self-denial; the other is by resort to chance^? %ij$ie gambler wants to make money? or to get it, unjustly. He wants to receive a reward .without any ia66ii*uone^ to make a fortune in a-moment, without industry, vigilance, sltiB or self-denial. -If this-spirit 'became common in the life of any people see how injurious to. all true citizenship and to the state as & whole.' You take away the stimulus to' labor, industry, effort, skill, self-denjiai, the great factors in the making not only j of the individual man but of the na-; tion. The habitual gambleSflets down his morale,, he ceases to labor as a means of livelihood, he is no longer a producer, a contributor tp<k the common welfare, he is a "kept man" just a® truly as a pauper in a poor house, he has lost the honorable dignity of, seSf-support. He has let down his morale, moreover, in dethroning his intelligence, reason "is no longer the pilot of the ship of his^life, but chance and caprice. The gambler inquestion- ably drops to a low plane of thought and feeling. If he has}, been following some ordinary occupation^ he soon loses his interest and enthusiasm for it, and in most cases forsakes it altogether. He grows increasingly indifferent to the losses inflieted on others and even to their ruin. He is absorbed and dominated by the one ruling passion to the exclusion of all other interests. This mania so overthrows the balance of his mind that ordinary moral standards are lost •sight. More cases of mis-appropriation and theft of money by those entrusted with it, have occurred through gambling than in.any other way. The illusion that Fortune will favor him and he will be able to pay back has caused the ruin of many a hitherto respectable citizen. The challenge to gambling is then three fold. It undermines the stability of the state in introducing principles of conduct that.are1 antagonistic to the rational ordering of society. It interferes with the sound development of citlzenshrfr which is built up by industry, thrift, skill, self- denial. It,% destructive of citizenship, robs the state of honest and productive service. And second, it causes deterioration in the character of the citizen himself. It lowers the whole tone of his life intellectually and morailly. He becomes an Ts-hmael in the social camp with his hand against every man. Not only so, but the ruin he works does not end with the gambler himself. Gambling vies with all other vices in the output of criminals it produces. It takes a larger to'l of suicides than any other social disease. Its curse falls not on the gambler himself, in the ruin of his business or his profession, but frequently upon the home which suffers most of all. Some men allow themselves to be made the dupes of others, rogues and sharpers, and by trying their luck, to lose substantial sums, won by hard work. Such losses are not irretrievable and the man may be thankful who is so well scorched at the outset that he never is caught again. But more insidious than this and far more terrible is the gradual decline of the once respectable and industrious citizen,' the head of a home, with wife j and children, who by slow degrees is drawn into the habit, losing first a little and hoping to gain, losing more and hoping to regain, until he has lost a'l he owns, lost his position, lost his home, and involved those whom he loves.in the common ruin with himself. Such cases are not infrequent. One does not need to go beyond the locality in which we live to find sufficient instance. This in itself should be enough to prevent men who themselves have homes and who have some sense of honor, from allying themselves with rogues and scoundrels for the robbery of innocent victims. If men of common sense would consider for a moment what was set forth at the outset in these articles, that ^money represents days' work, the blood and sweat of men, the food and Nothing that keep body and soul together, life itself, if they would vision ;he fact that they are playing not with corriclers of metal, but both human lives, with the bodies and the souls >f men, it might deter some from this ievil's own game. ■c!=»3Ea fcwf«ffj/jafiii,iM*M'K*a«flC^r.lS?V^Oi /C**s m ,?>> /<ft jffi> 0^bJ &'ft:*i;/?S__./SC m •**tv_ j iiii WHAT WAS DOING HERE | !

It is also being used in increasing quantities for lumber. Jack pine is frequently attacked by a fungal disease, which, in the earlier stages of its deveopment, causes a red-dish discoloration often referred to as "red stain." In later stages the fungus breaks down the fibre of the .wood and gives rise to "red rot." The Forest Products Laboratories of the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior recently made a series of tests to determine the effect of "red stin" on the strength of the timber. The results of these tests show that no diminution of the strength results from this condition and where the appearance of the wood is not important there should be no hesitation in- employing it in timber structures. Can't Have Eggs and Mites, Too ....... ■ - -.*•■-i:Ji^-~: Hot weather brings the roost mites. They'multiply so fast that the henhouse is swarming with them and the egg yield has dropped to almost nothing, perhaps, perhaps before you realize what is the causo. Therefore, don't wait for them. Make the house disagreeable jto these pests before they show themselves. The process of keeping out the mites is one of the simplest in poultry culture. Kerosene will do it. It is easily applied, either by a broad brush or a spray. The paint brush will save kerosene, but takes time. The spray will save time and use kerosene. Takes your choice, but paint or spray the roost and supports with kerosene before the mites put in an appearance. The morning is the best time, as the j roosts will be dry and much of the j odor from the oil will have disappeared before the hens return at night. Spray or paint every two weeks during warm weather. A good-sized egg check every month keeps the ball J&Uing. Don't let the mites-get it. iTTl Service For The Thrifty Thrift is a habit that should be cultivated not merely to make provision for the future, but because of a desire for advancement and full achievement, and for the sturdy independence, the happiness and the contentment that it brings.
