SI.OO PER YEAK ATTEMPT TO ROB Following the ceremony the bridal party and a few intimate friends adjourned to the home ol the bride's irirentR on Fern street, where a buffet luncheon-was served. Flowers in n oulor scheme of pink and while It lit a festive Hir to Hie reception Shortly before 3 o'clock on Wednesday mornitifr-safe cracksmen blew into Greenwood and attempted to dynamite the vault in the Bank of Montreal, we learn from the Greenwood L»dge. Six distinct and loud reports at about five-minu|e intervals were heard by those living in the neghbothood of- the bank, and many peop e were aroused from tbeir slumbers. The cracksmen had previously cut the 200 wire cabbie and the long distance wires leading to tbe telephoo.' office; alao cut the telegraph wires on both sides of the C.P.K. station, and it was impossible to notify the police of wbat was going ou. Tbey also broke tbe electric ligbt at tbe corner Jobn Meyer, wbo lives opposite tbe bank, on aearing a noise, started to come out, but a guard at tbe corner tired at bim, breaking windows at the rear of his store and shattering tbe woodwork inside. Entry was made by forcing tbe rear door, and tbe only tool left was a heavy bar with "C.P.R." stamped on it It is supposed tbat tbere was a gang of five or six, two working in the bank and tbe remainder on guard. Although tbey dynamited tbe vault several limes tbey tailed to break open lbe door and left without gettiug any tiling, either because tbey ran out oi powder or tbey may bave been frightened away by tbe movements of John Meyer. Tbi police bave linger prints of tbe safe blowers end a very good description ol tbe car in wbicb tbey were driven. Tbe interior of lbe bank was slightly damaged. Tbe force of lbe explasiou slopped tbe clock at ten minutes lo tbree, breaking a window in front of the vault aud several on lbe side uf the building. Tbe vault door and casing will bave to be replaced. Tbe repairs to tbe long distance wires of lbe British Columbia Tele phone company were soou made,but tbe local service will not be resumed until tbis afternoon or evening, as material bad to be sent iu from Neln son for lbe damaged part, Tbe telegraph line was soou put iu order. J. Mcb. Keid, manager, was able lo bave lbe bank opeu at lbe usual bour. rooms and to the tible. Mrs Oliver, in a handsome gown of black crepe- buck sitin, heavily beaded.and black hat, assisted the young couple in receiving tbe guests. The wedding gifts, which were much admired, included a silver tea service of Queen Anue design, the gift of tbe cabinet ministers of the province and their wives. Rev. F. and Mrs. Kunnalls left on the afternoon boat for Seattle and .Spokane enroute for Grand Forks, where they will make tbeir home and where the hridegronm is to be inducted on Friday evening as pastor of the United church. PREMIER'S DAUGHTER IS MARRIED Victoria, OctobeJ i7.—The second daughter of lbe premier of British Columbia and Mrs. Oliver was one ot the principals in a quiet ceremony wbich today at 12 noon united in marriage Miss Sarah Ellen (Nellie) Oliver aud Hev. Francis Huonalls, elder son of Mr. aud Mrs. Joseph Runnalls of Mount Brydges, Ont, Tbe ceremony was performed at the First Presbyterian church by Rev. Dr, W. G.

Common Sense Will Keep Anyone From "Sniffling" Army Neglect of simple precautionary measures is 1 irgely responsible for Ihe recurrence of influenza in the mild form commonly known as a cold, according to health authorities.

These rules bave been Issued by Dr. F. T. Underbill, M.H.O. of Vancouver and printed in the Sun of tbat city. Avoid needless crowding; influ enza is a crowd disease. Souther your cough and sneeaes; others do not want the germs whicb you would throw away. Your nose, not your mouth, was made to breathe through; get the habit- Remember tho three "Cs"—a clean moutb, clean skin and clean clothes. Open tbe windows always—at home, at nigbt, at the office when practicable. Your fate may be in your own hands; wash them beiore eating. Don't use a napkin, towel, spoon, fsrk, glass or cup wbicb has been used by another person. Don't kiss. Don't get your feet wet. Don't spit. Don't let your children out late at night in tbe damp air. Don't use ano her person's band kerchief. Avoid rowded assemblies. Gargle tbroat several times a day with formolid, listerine or some other antiseptic solution. Eat heartily. Sleep well. Keep tbe bowels regular. Drink lots of water. Take abundance of fresh air. Do not worry. cT^ re.lly dim; it's no joke driving into a blinding glare, as you probably know. 6. Head and obey tbe warning signs; tbey are not put up as orna- meats. 7. If you feel you've got to speed -do it where it won't kill anybody but yourself. 8. When making minor repairs stop where your car may beseen from both directions; otherwise you may stop longer than you anticipate. 9. Speeding around corners, is a straight route to the hospital. Don't race pant a stopped street car. Some day the jury will call it manslaughter. 10. Use discretion. The fact tnat you had tbe right of way won't bring anybody back to life, least of all yourself.

"That is exactly tbe way tbis government conducts the affairs of the province. No money bas been spent excepting upon productive enterprises.and tbe proof of our government's businesslike methods is shown wben I state that up to tbe eud of 1922 British Columbia had a larger total in sinking funds than all the rest of the provinces of Canada combined. Sinking funds provide forthe taking care of obligations, and surely that statement shows that no stone has' been left unturned to protect the public." The minister maintained that tbe final test of the stability of a province or of a business was tbe finan eial standing of either. In tbis regard, he pointed out, British Columbia bonds sold for a higher price in the world markets than that ob- taiued by any other province. newest specimen of "sheik," or lounge licard, tbat peculiar type of conflicting sex, was permitted to parade tbe streets bere and escape witb his life.

F UNITING GOLONNIES FOR WINTER SEASON One of the essential factors for successful wintering of bees is to bave the colonies well filled with young bees that have done little or no field work. There should be at least enougb bees in tbe bive to cover at least six or sevnn fnll-sized frames at tbe end of September or early in October. Any colony witb less bees tban this should he united One good strong colony is worth more than many weak ones. When uniting colonies two things must be borne in mind*, first, tbat flying bees have located themselves and if their hive is moved tbey will return to the old location, especially if it is good flying weather when the moving is done, and second, that bees of different colonies are likely o edgige fn a free for all fighe wb en brought together in one hive. When a beekeeper has twi or more apiaries tbe first difficulty can be overcome by uniting tbe weak colonies of one yard to another. Wbere tbere is only one apiary tbe uniting is best done during the dull weather when the bees aie confined to their hives for several days at a time. An eaey method to unite two colonies without the bees fighting is to first smoke tbe colonies well and then to remove the cover aod quilt from one of them and placing over lbe frames a single sheet of newspaper. The other colony is then lifted off its floors-board and placed over tbe first colony witb tbe paper between tbem. Tbe bees will gnaw holes through tbe paper in -a sbort time and will gradually unite together tbrough these. If tbere is brood in botb colonies this can all be placed in the lower chamber later oo, and tbe top chamber removed. It is well to kill one of the queens just before uniting tbe colonies, tbe best queea of course being left. If tbere is no preference for queens they can both be left and tbe bees will kill one of tbem, Another plan of uniting, a d one in whicb all the queens are saved; is us follows: During dull weather in the late fall when the bees have been confined to their hives for several days remove from each of the weak colonies five of tbe lightest combs, shaking tbe bees from tbem down in front of the bive and pushing tbe other five to one side of the hive Two or three days later place a tight fitting division board in the center of balf of the hives witb tbe bees on one side end then biing the combs and bees from tbe other hives and place on the opposite side of the division boards, thus bringing together two weak colonies into one hive. Provision must be made Tor a double entrance. These col onies can be fed in the usual man ner and can be wintered either in the cellar or outside. By this method a surplus of quesns can be had in the spring.—C. B. Gooderham, Dominiou Apiarist. Special GorreipimiLence of Tlie Sun, Victoria, October 17—After a half century of misundeistanding and legal difficulties a matter between the Dominion and the provincial government of British Col umbia has been cleaned up satis faclorily by the government, Under the terms of an agreement reached between Hon. Ernest La pointe, fed- eral minister of m rine and liberies, and Hon. T. D. Pattullo, minister of lands, for tbe governnii t.l. ownership of Fafse Creek, English buy and WeFt Vancouver, outside the First Narrows, are vested iu the govern ment of British Columbia. Burrard Inlet, including the North Arm, it is agreed, is uuder the ownership ot the Dominion. Tbe conference agreed upon the boundaries of certain British Columbia harbors,own ■ ersbip. of wbicb by lhe federal authorities is conceded. Tbese harbors are: Vancouver, Victoii*, N-w West minster, Esquimalt, Nanaimo and Alberni. Both Hon. Mr Putullu-ind Hon. Mr. Lapointe stated after the settlement lhat the best interests of the province sbould be s rved as the result of lhe conference, and in future tbere will be no complications with regard to industrial development iu tbe harbors of tbe coast province. Much haB been seid and written about the freight rates tight waged by Premier Oliver and the government for the past two years There- cent announcement by the board of railway commissioners tbat a further 10 per cent reduction on grain would became effective immediately is au evidnce tbat tbe fight has not heen for nothing. However, the premier expects that the reduction is only a forerunuer of others to be announced later. Meanwhile, be shows that .on the 20,000,000 bushels of grain shipped west to Vancouver from August, 1922, the reduced rates have resulted in a saving of $1,020,- 000, a very substantial sum. The anticipated reduction, when rates have been equalized, wi I mean millions of dollars to tbe people of British Columbia as well as to tbe farmers ot tbe prairie provinces. Tbe. government's expenditures in connection with the freight rates fight haye been fully justified, even if uo further gains are made. In order to save the sockeye salmon in the Fraser river system, Hon. William Sloan, minister nf mines and commissioner of fisheries for Btitis'n Columbia, bas iirj*ed Hon. Ernest Lapointe, federal minister of marine and fisheries, to carry on negotinlioiis with the American government and the state of Washington looking to tbe complete oIobh ing of the Fraser to sockeye fishing for a period of Iwety or twenty-five years. Tbe provincial department nf fisheries has been repeatedly placid on'record as favoring a confer vati"ii policy with regard to this important food industry, but so far action h is not materialized. This hos been due largely to the lack of cooperation ou the part of the United States authorities, but as tbe result of the recent conference between the two minisiers it is expected that n Balis- factory settlemout is not far distant, After his tour of central British Columbia, when be addressed um things all along tbe Canadian National railway, Premier Oliver declared himself as highly pleased with iuduetrial conditions and Continued on Paye !,.

CJ OFFICE: COLUMBIA AVENUE AND LAKE STREET. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1923 The climbing perch, native of India, has rudimentary lungs as wells as gills.

Notes, Notions and Notables It is reported from Tokyo that the newer business buildings in the heart of the city, of steel construction or of re-enforced concrete, withstood the rocking of the earthquake exceedingly well. There was more or less damage done to every building within the city, but the modern structures can easily be put into condition again. The fire that swept so large a part of the city would not have been so disastrous it' the ordinary Japanese houses were not of such light and combustible material. There was much suffering from hunger for a few days after the earthquake, but supplies were rushed into the stricken district as rapidly as possible. One of the reasons for the excessive cost of anthracite is declared by the coal eommis sion to be the speculative dealings of certain brokers and wholesalers. There are cases where a shipment of coal has passed through four hands between mine to retail yard, and where at each step from 50 cents to several dollars has been added to the cost. That sort of thing occurs usually with so called "independent" coal, which in times of scarcity falls in the hands of speculators. Most of the "company" coal goes regularly to certain wholesalers who deal directly with the retailer. But speculation and pyramiding of costs does not account for the prevailing high price of "com pany" coal. Those who use the coal would be asked to pay $15 a ton or thereabouts in any event. It is the coal that costs ,$18 or $20 a ton that has been the object of unnecessary handling and extortion. Big royalties on coal lands and the high cost of railway transportation are responsible for the general level of coal prices. The recent agreement of the an - thracite field, which includes an increase in labor cosjs, of course raises that level. To have an invention protected in all parts of the world it is necessary to take out at least seventy different patents in as many different countries. The estimated cost is $25,- 000.

An incident occurred in Hamilton last Friday, says a Canadian Press dispatch, which showed the kindly heart of Lloyd George. Fighting his way through the dense crowd a little boy about five years of age worked his way to the place of Lloyd George's car "Please, mister," he said, breathlessly, ''here's my picture whon I was a little by. My name is Lloyd George Bowden; will you take it?' Visibly touched, Lloyd George reached for the picture and said: "Bless your little heart, of course I will take it. I will always cherish it, too, and shall not forget my little namesake." A pat on the head and the pressure of two hands followed. Lloyd George smiled ten derly.

British archaeologists have been at work ou the site of Sparta, and though they have not yet uncovered anything of first rate historic importance, they have found a variety of ancient carv-ngs, vases and articles of personal adornment that show that the Spartans were not always ofthe austere and harsh character that distinguished them during the classical period. Iu the great days of Greece Sparta was a military power, but it possessed almost no art. In the earlier ages, following the appearance of the Dorians in Laconia, there^was a lively and promising art that shows evidences of having been influenced by work from Cyrene in northern Africa. WHO'S THE FISH AND WHY? It costs the prairie farmer 13c a bushel to thresh his wheat, another 13c a bushel to get it to the distributing point. What the planting and sacking costs we do not know. We'll wager this, though, that after all these charges are paid the whoat farmer will not come off with a profit of 13c a bushel. Last season it cost the Okanogan fruit growers something like a million and a quarter dollars paid in freight and express to get their fruit to market. It costs tbem another million and a half to pack and handle the fruit. What the fruit growers got we do not know. But this we do know—the freight was paid, rhe pickers and packers were paid, the distributors and wholesalers were paid, the retailer was paid—everybody were paid out of tho proceeds from the fruit before the pro ducer was paid, and he, in too many cases, received a red-ink return which meant that, in addition to having lost his ciop, he had to pay somebody for having helped him lose it. —Okanagan Commoner.

The Objects of this Institution, for which Incorporation was recently ob' tained, are: "To provide a Home anl Refuge for Biby aad Infant Blind; to provide free Scientific Care, Training and Maintenance; to Save the Lives of even a few of the many of such iv.fortunatos, who, for the lack of such serss vice, perish every year; and to return these little ones to their parents, at sohool age with normal, healthy bodies and sound minds." This is a large and graatly needed Child Welfare Service. Careful enquiry at the Government offices in the verious provinoes reveals the fact that there are at the presant time nearly 250 Infant Blind in the Dominion. Nothing has yet been done for those helpless little ones. In the United States, 16 years ago, the flrst home was opened in New Tork City; they havo now homes in 13 States, all doing excellent work. In England, some time ago, Sir Arthur Pearson organized "Sunshine House," Chorley Wood, for Blind Babies, and he claims that it is the only one in the British Empire. Let us have the SECOND in Canada. To reaoh this worthy end money is urgently required. Fifty Thousand Dollars is the present objective of the Boaad. While the Home is to be located in Ottawa it will take in the Baby Blind from every province, so that this APPEAL for funds will be Dominion wide, and an early and generous response is confidently expected Cheques should be made payable to the Canadian Blind Babies Home Association. All remittances will be promptly acknowledged. Tell The People What You Have to Sell THE SUN: GRAND FORKS, BRITISH COLUMBIA $ HIS MAJESTY'S MAILS ON CANADIAN PACIFIC I.—A comfortable corner of tha BaSSSS* Cat. 3.—Another flaw of tba Baatafta Car. *,—Bxtcrior of ons of tha new Canadian Pacific liall and Baggage Care. **—Thia la where tha mails are totted. Almost every day -we rely upon His Majesty's Postal service for the delivery at certain hours of letters and parcels which are of value and which would lose their value -were they delivered tardily. Seldom have we cause to complain of the service rendered In exchange for our few cents and we have come to expect the efficient regularity of that service regardless of the natural or economic disturbances which affect other services. The letter was stamped and placed ln the postal box. It must be delivered, and with dispatch, rain or shine. Due to the increasing use of His Majesties Malls, the Canadian Pacific Railway has found it necessary to add to its rolling stock, twelve new Mail and Baggage coaches. These, being up-to-date in every respect, provide every facility for the handling of the mail, and a number of conveniences for the clerks which the older type of cars could not boast of. The "All Steel" cars are some of the finest used by Postal authorities In the world, and the Company is to be congratulated, in that providing every facility for the Suick handling of postal matter, it has kept an eye to the comfort of the ierks. The forward end of the travelling Post Office, for sueh lt is, is used mainly for storage purposes. On one side, movable iron stanchions separate the bags destined for the various towns en route, and on the other ls tne gas stove, for cooking purposes, ice water tank, lavatory, wash basin, and clothes cupboard — innovations which are greatly commended by the clerks. The rear end of the mail compartment is the business end. A long reversible table, running lengthwise, allows the clerk to face either side of the car in order to sort his parcels into the bags which are supported by folding racks, and into the boxes conveniently arranged above tne bags for the accommodation of newspapers, and which can be quickly emptied by the simple expedient of raising the front. At tha rear end is a table, the full width of the car, and behind this are the hundreds'of pigeon holes into which the clerk must distribute the lettera for the various towns, quickly, almost automatically. At his feet as he stands at his table, the clerk has a tray into which the letters posted when the train is at a station, drop. These letters he stamps and distributes with those put on the train at the terminal. Cord with which to tie the letters into bundles is conveniently at hand, and if some of the bundles contain registered mall they are placed into the pigeon holes at one side, over which a wire grating is fitted and locked. Everything is scrupulously clean. The baggage and express end of the coaches is also the last word in car construction. As with the mail section, the doors open in the centre of thc compartment, one half of which has a solid floor, the other half being fitted with flsh racks. In addition to the conveniences afforded the mail clerks, the baggage men have a folding table which fits tightly against the wall when notin use, and which maybe utilized as a dinning table and — but no! there is too much business to talk of cards. The twelve new cars were designed by C. H. Temple, Chief of Motive Power and Rolling Stock, Canadian Pacific Railway, and were constructed by the Canada Car and Foundry Company, Ltd., Montreal. They are designed to carry 80 tons of express matter and 10 tons of mail, a total ot 40 tons} compared with SO tons, the capacity of the old type of coach. The Company has adhered to the six wheel truck, but heavier journals have been provided, 6)4 by 10 in place of the 6 by 9 inches. Another feature of the new coaches is the diaphragm ends. This eliminates the danger of people "riding blind". Until more are constructed, the new coaches will operate between Montreal and Toronto, Montreal and Sault Ste. Marie, Toronto and St John. N.B.. and Winnipeg, and Edmonton on Canadian Pacilic lines.

According to information received by the Canadian Pacific Railway at Winnipeg, sixty-three bushels of wheat to the acre has been harvested on the farm of T. M. Ballantyne, three miles north of Lacombe, Alberta. The wheat graded No. 1 and weighed 64 pounds to the bushel. Weighing 8,170 pounds, a steer, said to be tbt largest ever received in Winnipeg, arrived at the union stockyards from Wainwright, Alberta. It was sold for $250, the highest selHng price of any steer in Winnipeg since the war. The Canadian Pacific S.S. "Bru- ton," which arrived in Liverpool on September 5th, put up what is considered to be a record in the speedy discharge of cargo when slio sailed thc following day, Sept. 6lh, at 7 p.m., having discharged over 2,000 tons of cargo. It is announced that the Canadian Pacific Railway will increase the size of its irrigation head-rates at Kimball, in southern Alberta, by 50 per cent in anticipation of an increase in area of 40,000 acres in tlie Lethbridge district. Wate will be turned into the ditches of l .e Lethbridge Northern project, it is expected, some time this fall.

The number of pure bred horses ia th* Dominion in 1921 was 47,782; cattle, 296,656; sheep, 98,648, and of swine, 81,143. A conservative estimate of th* amount of money spent in Quebec by tourists reaches $2,358,760. From the beginning of May until the first of September, 15,000 motor tourists had called for information at th* | offices of the Quebec Auto Club. Taking an average of four people to each car, this meant that at least 60,000 people had come to th* city by automobiles. Of this number there were approximately 8,000 camping parties, or 12,000 people. At the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, recently, Colonel J. S. Dennis, Chief Commissioner of Colonization of the Canadian Pacific Railway, outlined in a detailed speech existing conditions in Canada and prospects for the future. He emphatically stated that there was no cause for discouragement, but, on the contrary, every prospect of a renewal of rapid development, including an increase in our population and the development of our latent natural resources in such a way as to insure, in the comparatively near fjture, that we should be out of th* woods, an ' progressing rapidly to a large population and favorable business and financial conditions.
