"Romance, friendship and the spirit of sacrifice were revealed in the story of the death of Mrs. Minnie Gjanovio, 601 Campbell avenue, which occurred Tuesday in the General Hospital. is^S "Dmitar Gjanovic and Bajo Mijuskovic, both natives of Montenegro, served in the Canadian army and while on leave in Scofand Gjanovic fell in love with a Scotch lassie and they were married, his tried comrade, Mijuskovic, acting as best man. "At the end of the war the couple came to Vancouver, as did Mijuskovic. "Life went along placidly for the loouple and the comrjade was always a welcome guest at their home. One son and two daughters resulted from •the union and plans were made for itheir future. "Three weeks ago Mrs. Gjanovic contracted blood poisoning and every offor't was made to aave her life: Mijuskovic, who was employed at 'Princeton, heard of the illness of his comrade's wife and hastened to Vancouver to see if he could aid in any way. "The arrival of Mijuskovic was opportune for doctors had decided that .5 blood transfusion might save the •women's" life and he was a splendid physical specimen. He wii lingly consented and submitted to two transfusions, giving two pint3 of his blood in "the eif-ort- to save the life < of his 'friend's wife. The sacrifice was in 'v'lain. teifr^ "During her life in Vancouver Mrs. Gjanovic endeared herself to those in the distrfict, where she lived, and yher loss is felt by a 'arge circle of ■Mends." Moving picture fans have two treats ahead at he Princess Theatre. . This week's bill is "The Fighting Coward," featuring Ernest Torrence, Mary Astor, Noah Beery and Phyllis Haver. It is the story of a young Southerner who loved a flirt. Is driven from home because he won't fight a' duel. Trained by a [ notorious gun-fighter, he becomes notorious as a "bad man," though* his rep is founded solely on •bluff. Returning home he gets even with his enemies and marries the flirt's younger sister. Next week's picture is equally good. It is one of Cecil De Mille's biggest productions, "Triumph," with & typical all-star cast. It is a modern society love drama, bigger and better than "Manslaughter." The "Call of the Canyon" is not produced here this week, owing to the fact that the film v/as in such a flaimaged condition that tbe management would not send it out. Manager Knighton hopes to be able to secure it on some future occasion. WHAT'S THE HURRY? BRITISH COLUMBIA MINING DISCUSSED IN CONVENTION made from the V.F.

The economic minerals in the ore lead, zinc, gold, silver and a very little nicke". Ijead and zinc are present as sulphides together with iron pyrite, the gangue being mainly quartz. Silver is the chief minera' of value, it ranging from a few ounces per ton up to oyer ^250 ounces. About, 15 to 20 per •cent:' of the ore is of shipping grade, the balance'"being milling ore running around $15 per ton in all values. _ Considerable Underground Work ..Although the property Is still mainly in the prospective stage, a good deal of work has been done.

Now he lets out a squawk if he misses one section of a revolving door.." It's the truth. We are in such a hurry that half the time we don't •know,where we are going.

BODYLESS YET LIVING Dr. Alexis Carrel, of the Rockefeller Institute, New Yorks, who attended the British Medical Association's meeting recently held at Bradford, has kept a chicken's heart going strong for 12 years, after divorcing it from the bird's body. Dr. Carrel, who is regarded-as the wizard of experimental surgery, removed- the heart from the bird and placed-it in a special "culture." The organ has increased since then by one-fifth its original size, and" is still 'growing. Every two or three years it is transplanted into a fresh "culture," to Which is added, from time to time, the 'Wood of old and young hens. It has been shown that the blood „of the old 'hens retards the growth of the organism, while that of the young ones accelerates it. ■ : From this scientists deduce the fact that there exists a certain chemical substance peculiar to youth, which is 'not present in the organism of full maturity. J&8: This'gives rise to the startling suggestion that there may exist an actual elixir of life which science may eVerf* tually segregate from the organism and transplant. The more daring followers of Dr. 'OarreA's wcrk in the United States have proposed that the next few generations may witness the actual manufacture of this elixir. Weather conditions, so far this season, have not borne out the forecasts of those who predicted .a long hard winter. November's snowfiall here total ed 10 inches, which is no more perhaps than a fa'r average, though records show many years in which the snowfall for the same month was nil.

GILLIS DELIVERS INTERESTING ADDRESSES ON THE HISTORY AND PROGRESS OF FOX FARMING IN CANADA In view of the establishment of a number of fox farms in this district and the indication that it is an industry that can be followed wtth the best possible. chances of success in this valley, the following report of addresses made by Dr. G-illis, on the subject, which appeared in a recent issue of the Coviichan Herald, of Duncan, B. O., will prove of interest to readers of the Start "Dr. Gdllis came to Duncan at the invitation of Mr. I. D. Mackenzie, Maple Bay, whose gueit he was while here. The visitor, who comes orig- Inaly from Prince Edward Island, owns a. large fox farm at Merritt, having comanenced with eighteen pairs in 1921. During the past sum> mer there were as many as 230 foxes on the farm. He now has seventy pairs ,bf breeders. Dr. Gillis believes that silver fox raising is now a stab-' itized industry and that the market for these pelts wi'l nor. become overloaded. "Dr. Gillis said in regard to the development of fur farming:—*Fox -farming still maintains its p'ace as the most important branch of the industry with 1179 farms out of a total of 1240 devoted to the raising of Animals. This is an increase of 202 fox farms from the figures of the previous year.' '"A total of $8,284,384 represents the value of the 1179 fox farms. Prince Edward Island sti'l maintains a long lead in all branches of the industry. In that province these are 448 fox farms value at $3,481,- 008. The numbers in the other provinces are as follows. Ontario, 201; New Brunswick, 89; Nova Scotia, 123; Alberta, 44; Manitoba, 22; Yukon, 21; British Columbia, 29; Saskatchewan, 4. " 'During the yea.r 1923 a total of 26,908 animala were born; 4257 died and ^53 were killed for their paf|ts on Canadian fur farms. In the year a total of 7506 animals were sold for $1,324,683, and 9539 pelts were sold £or $860,468.' " 'At the end of the year there -were' ~ 40,125 a.nimai'is on Canadian farms. Among these were 25,186 silver foxes, 1556 patch foxes, 627 red foxes, 12 blue foxes and 2 white foxes.' "Dr. QilMs also gave an interesting account of the silver fox industry which, he said, was realfy only twentv-five years old. There were, he said, three distinct periods. First, the experimental stage, when the business was carried on under a veil of secrefcy. Second, from the beginning of the sale of livestock for breeding purposes, ib the out-break of the war. wldch disorganized the markets. Third, the reconstruction period, when silver fox breeding reached stabilization as a sane, permanent commercial enterprise. "Explaining what 'a silver fox is, Dr. Gillis said it was simply a red fox of another coTor—a- freak. He ■toW how the experiments of Sir "Chasles . Dalton and Ms partner had es^lftisfiwESthe frgak—cglfir and developed the production of fur untih it brought fabui'ious returns. Prices J of $4000 to $6000 per pair were paid | by the first corporations:- As the s boom grew the price rose to $10,000 a; pair, and at the close of 1913 actu- " ally rose to $25,000 a pair. "In 1913 the Silver Fox Breeders' Association wa« formed with the ob- - ject of protecting purchasers and of conserving the interests ot the breeders. In 1920 it was granted a charter by!_ .thej Dominion ©oveomnient whii'dh recognizes . the pedigrees of ranch bred .silver foxe^ which comply •with the rules and regulations of the,, association and pass inspection by ■ an officer of the livestock branch of the department of agriculture. , \ "A oash expenditure \ of around |; $15,000 will now purchase ten pairs» of the finest young foxes, build andl, equip a ranch and pay,: for dare andIV administration. With, average, Jflaplts the first year and se'Ilng. enough of the young to provide ..extensions to. the plant and for current expenses,. <the. owner should possess at the beginning of the second year at least, fifteen p?Rrs. In two more seasons, 'his yield,, if marketed, with;.aver'age, skill, should return the who^e, original investment and leave the owner with a good business duly paid for., "At the cjose of Dr. Gillis' address many questions were asked, showing the deep intereat'-'taken by the audience in the matter under discussion."

Agent for The Platinum Power Company, Ltd. 1-4 Synopsis of Land Act Amendments Editor, The Star, Princeton, B. C. In a recent issue of The Star there appeared in the news from Keremeos a copy of a paper read at a meeting of the Women's Institute relating to the requirements of Keremeos as a community centre. Among other things referred to, mention was made of the park, locally known as "Pine Grove Park," and the reason given therein for its present dilapidated condition was the "Title," the inference created thereby that there was something wrong with the title. Many years ago the Keremeos Land Company through the generosity of the late W. H. Armstrong donated thla property to the use and enjoyment of the village of Keremeos and district as a free gift to be devoted to playground uses, a picnic spot and recreation area. Nature has done a great deal to make the ground ideal for this purpose, five acres of pine grove beautifully situated on the banks of the Similkameen river within five minutes walk trom the business street. Tbrdugh all the long years gone by in which the public has had the use of this ground the people of Keremeos have never thought (fit to properly organize or to properly constitute trustees to obtain a title (which could have been had for the asking) to hold the property in trust, but rather preferred to leave the title in the Land Company and use the ground for dumping garbage, refuse and orchard prunings, anything but for the purpose for which it was given. Only threats of civil prosecution against some of the offenders who thought they could do as they pleased with public property, who knew nothing or cared nothing for such a thing as community spirit or community interest brought this to a stop. Ever since my arrlval/n the valley two years ago as liquidator of the Land Company I havp consistently advised the appointment of properly ^authorised trustees\o hold 'the ground 1n trust, for the /people as a whole. When this is done and a proper deed prepared the necessary signature to a "Title" will be forthcoming without delay. The same conditions apply to the transfer of the cemetery property as well.

Just who will erect the building is a matter for consideration at another meeting which is called for Tuesday evening. There are three possibilities. Either for the government or the coal company to build it or to have it done by contract. What the ratepayers have in mind is the most economical buirtling consistent with government regulations. Local contractors have been asked to tender. m * * * It happened l,aat September. A Tulameen prospector had been out all day in the rain and came home 'soaking wet. Not having a change of clothing he had no other option than to pee"j off and wait until his duds dried. After he had stripped he bethought him that he had no rig on which to hang his clothes. Being a man used to meeting emergencies the lack of a clothes horse did not bother him,, bet at all. He put on his shoes, picked up his axe and wended his way outside dressed, ■barring the shoes, like Adam in the garden of Eden. The night was dark and stormy, the wind was howling ■wild and ever an anon the lightning flashed athwart the firmament. He had no flash light. Groping after the intermittent lightning flashes he (worked his way towards the bush where he intended to cut two crotch jsrtiicks and a pole to form a clothes •horse. A '^'eam of lightning that (seemed to strike right into his eyes made him step back a pace and then unable to hold his balance he sat down—in a rose bush. He arose in a hurry.
