Victoria, Feb 21.—Tbe elimina tion of Orieotals in British Column bit is a matter which has occupied do little amountof attention tbrough out tba province for several years aod tt the last session of the legisla ture Hon. William Sloan, minister of mines, introduced a resolution asking Ottawa to coopering in keeping more Chinese and Japanese out of the province. Following tbe recent disastrous explosion at Cum berland, the miners petitioned the Canadian Collieries to cease employing Orientals in tbe coal mines. Tbe assistance of tbe government was aaked and tbe miners bave returned to work witb the understanding tbat tbe company will replace tbe Orientals with white workers as soon as possible. Speaking at a meeting in Van oouver recently Hon. J. D. Mac Lean, minister of education and act- ing premier, denied that the credit ofthe province was impaired. In support of his contention he showed that wbile Ontario and other prov* inces were obliged to pay 6 per cent interest when borrowing on treasury bills, British Columbia could float the same loans lot 5 per cent. Tbe minister claimed tbat lbe political enemies of the government were responsible for tbe reports of ruined oredit, wbile tbe truth was tbat tbe province was never in better condition. Premier Oliver's visit to Ottawa and otber eastern cities in connection with tbe freight rates case-has taken on something of the nature of a triumphal march. He bas ad« dressed Canadian clubs throughout tne eastern provinces and is credited with having done more to win recognition for British Columbia tban any other representative. At tbe personal request of Premier Hackeniie King, Premier Oliver has agreed to leave tbe settlement of tbe frieght rates matter until tbe close of tbe federal session, so tbat the full time of the Ottawa government may be given to it. Last year the provincial fight over freight rates resulted in tbe removal of balf tbe discrimination against tbis prov ince, and prospects are bright for the establishment of equal freight rates. The direct result of this will be a rush of wheat westward and an unprecedented stimulation of iodusn trial development throughoet BriU ish Columbia. A special appeal to tbe employers .on behalf of disabled reiurned sold urs is being made by Attorneys Qsneaal A. M. Manson, minister of labor. A letter has been despatched to practically every employer ot labor in British Columbia, asking for cooperation in providing work for returned men, and especially those incapacitated throuSh their war experiences. Toe minister points out tbat there are between 600 and 1000 disabled veterans in the province. "They remind ue," be writes, "of a duty wbich we can not ignore assured of safe positions io tbe professions, in commerce or io indue- .ry, and of every comtort for the rest of their days Tbey put tbese thingi- behind ibem Tbey made tbe sacrifice—a saciifice known to all. They have come back maimed in body and broken io health, desiring nothing so mucb as to be able to make a new start in life. Many of these men find it impossible 'o look for a return of the same measure of prosperity wbich tbey formerly enjoyed. But they do ask to be Billowed to serve tbe community in some nsefnl capacity, in such a way as tbeir strength add opportunity will permit." Hon. Mr. Manson appeals to the employers to arrange their organizations so that at least a few veterans may be given employment and to give tbe preference to returned men when engaging more assistance. In cidentally, he points out tbat more tban 80 per cent of the men who have been added to the oivil service during tbe past four years, by appointment and reinstatement, bave been returned soldiers.

In the Nineteenth Century Sir Edward Sullivun relates this bit of sparkling conversation that once passed between Cardinal Vaughan and Dr. Adler, the chief Jewish rabbi. The two men were seated next to eaoh other at luncheon "Now, Dr. [Adler," said the cardinal, "when msy I have the pleasure of helping you to some ham?" Tbe rabbi replied without a pause, At your eminence's wedding!" It was not a rabbi but a bishop— Dr. Potter of New York—that once ■eplied neatly and unhesitatingly to i question that must have been almost as startling as the oardinal's. A lady had asked him wny in pictures and statues angels are always represented as women or as young men without beards or moustaches. "Oh," replied the bishop, "every one knows that women naturally in herif the kingdom of heaven, but men get in* by a very close shave."

Death of Edith Pierce The death of Miss Edith Pierce, aged 70 years, occurred at her bome in this city on Friday afternoon, February 16, after a brief illness of influenza. Deceased, who followed tbe occupation of a professional nurse, was an old-time of Qrand Forks, and she leaves many warm personal friends here n mourn her passing. At tbe time of ber death none of ber relatives resided here, but a number of years ago one of her brothers was engaged in ranching in the valley. He is now living in California. The funeral was held from Miller k Gardner's undertaking parlors on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, interment being made in Evergreen cemetery. The blank contracts for tbe big cooperative marketing project have arrived in tbe valley, and are now ready for tbe ranchers' signatures. In the distribution of tbe contracts a large number of tbe growers seem to have been missed. According to reports received at tbis office, not many of the agreements have yet been signed; but tbe campafgn is yet in its infancy. Miss Rena Boss, school teacher at North Vancouver, and Miss Silvia Ross, who is attending school at Bellingbam, returned bome last Friday evening to attend tbe funeral of their father, the late William T.

With an expression of dignified gratification he unfolded a scrap of a church announcement leaflet that he had pulled out of the pocket of his waistcoat ond handed me a card with the words, "Eli Brown, E.O.B., 50 Fenchurch street." "What do these letters stand fori" I asked. "Why, Miss Ma'y, all de quality in our congregation has letters after their names. Dr. Pjice, he has I).

STRANGE CASE OF Gilpin Man hinds Life Under Impression Thu t Hia Assessment Is the Amount of Taxes Due Just Right Last winter a Northern tourist, while spending a few days in Atlanta, decided to try a little of tho local moonshine about which ho had heard so much. He secured a pint of the "white lightning" and retired to his room to sample it. Une taste was enough, He did not care to throw it away, so he presented it to an old darkey who had been driving liim about the city in his taxi, The next day ho asked the old negro how he liked the liquor. "Boss, it was zackly right. Yas, suh, it was jus' zackly right." "What do you mean by ju.it exactly right, undo?'' he asked. "Well, suh," said the darkey,1' it was jus' zackly right, 'cause if it had er been any better you wouldn't er give it to me; an' if it had been any worse I couldn't er drunk it." A tragic case of suicide occurred on Tuesday, when Joseph Carboni, an aged and highly suspected Italian resident of Gilpin, blew the top of his head off with a shotgun. The cijcumstance that is said to have been the cause of }he tragedy is an unusual oue. A short time ago Carboni received a notice of the amount at which his property hid been as- sessed, something like* $1900. Itis said that he thought this mum rt presented the amount of taxes he was liable for. Brooding over his ill- ability to pay thin large sum undoubtedly unbalanced bin mind to a degree tbat he could see no way of escape except in death. The body was brought to this city on Tuesday evening, and on Wed nesday Coroner Kingston beld au inquest in the court house. Tbe jury returned a vetdict of suicide. The remains were interred in Evergreen cemetery yesterday afternoon. Carboni is survived by his wife.

I quits right here and now." "But," protested the director, "this lion won't hurt you. This lion was brought up on milk." "So was I brung up on milk," wailed the negro, "but I eats meat now." In Spite of Newton's Law This story ia told of an Irish lawyer uanioil Keller who was famous for Ins native wit but who, partly from indolence and partly from a frivolous disposition, did uot succeed particularly well iu his profession Another lawyer named Mayno, as Sober aud ponderous as Keller was light-minded and clever, was made a judge, much to Keller's vexation.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1923 Notes, Notions and Notables How the mighty have fallen!- Not long ago a woman who was playing a bugle in the Boulevard Montmartre in Paris and collect - ing money was recognized, just as the police were taking her to the station, as the Princess Poltcouchhof, a former lady in waiting to the czarina. She was destitute and had been reduced to that means of getting food. A compatriot who knew her succeeded in obtaining her release. The male African elephant iu the New York Zoological Park has given convincing evidence of his strength that is most surprising. gOne day, says the Zoological Bulletin, he attacked a partition fence made of iron and actually broke the top rail in two aud tore one of the pieces from the post to which i*. was attached. The broken iron, which formed the top of the fence, was a railway rail four inches by four and a quarter. CONSERVE YOUR SIGHT The Cooperator's Creed THE STRAIN of modern civilized lite falls heaviest upon the eye, the hardest worked and most neglected of all the human organs. The constant need of close-range vision; tbe continual exposure to the glare reflected from pavement and buildings or from high-powered eleectric lights, all expose the eye to terrific strain. Many suffer from eyestrain without being conscious of it. Have your eyes ex • amined and know. We are admirably equipped for this work. An astonish ng tale that the newspapers have spread is the story that the Russian crown jewels were hidden in the coffin of an American bluejacket who died in Gibraltar and who lies buried in Cypress Hill cemetery in Brooklyn. The story came anonymously to the United States customs serviee, and the public has heard none of the details. Who had the four million dollars' worth of jewels, and how he or they managed to hide them with the body of the seaman Jones, has mt beeu disclosed. Probably the whole story is a hoax, but the government takes it seriously enough to keep a guard over the grave. The brother of Premier Mussolini, who may be supposed to have unusual opportunities of learning what the policy of the new government is to be, says that one of the first ro- forms will be to abolish all tariffs on imports ind to establish a fiscal system based on almost absolute free trade. The state railways ire now raanagod with rigid economy. The railway staff has been reduced by about fourteen thousaud men, the hours hf work have ia some cases been increased, aud a system of rewards for conspicuous faithful service has iieen introduced. Mussolini hopes in this way o save five hundred million lire a year. A Russian steamer, the Polotofski, which was caught in the ice at Saint Michael in December, 1915,and disappeared the uext spritig in the great storm off Cape Nome, is the latest addition to the Arctic phantom fleet. According to Populor Mechanics the abandoned steamship was seen by Eskimo hunters, who planned to board the vessel, but changing winds swept the ship away into unexplored seas. Every winter deserted and unkown ships are seen in the mists of the polar seas, but the Polotofski's name plate could be made out. A recent attetn.pt to imitate daylight by means of incandescent electric lamps has sue ceeded in correcting the light from the lamp filament hy coloring the bulb. The bulbs are made of a special blue glass that absorbs the excess of red and yellow light rays. They have an Osram filament and are filled with gas. The new lamp is especially adapted to lighting studios and picture gallaries. The following is taken from the creed drawn up by'Paul V. Maris, director extension service, Oregon Agricultural college: 1. I believe firmly that modern conditions demand a better system of marketing farm products and that this can be brought about only by intelligent cooperation among producers. 2. I understand that marketing embraces part or all of the following functions, depending somewhat upon the nature of the commodity: 1. Assembling. 5. Transporting. 2. Grading and standard- 6. Storing. izing. 7. Financing. 3. Packing. 8. Distributing. 4. Processing. And I believe in cooperation for the purpose of performing these functions efficiently. Economical and orderly marketing is the object sought rather than speculation and price control. 3. I know that fundamental chauges must come slowly and that they will be fraught with great difficulty. 4. I expect cooperative enterprises to be ■opposed by agencies with which they come in competition. I know that this opposition will assume the form of bait prices that will be held up to tempt me and cause me to become dissatisfied; but understanding the motives back of these, I will remain constantly stead fast and loyal. 5. I know that it will require time to get a cooperative business properly organized and running smoothly and that if I am unwilling to overlook some mistakes and bear with my organization unavoidable adversity, I had better conserve my time and means by refusing to be a part of a cooperative enterprise. 6. I know that trust and confidence are the keystones of cooperation. Hence I will participate in the selection of men to direct the affairs of my association in whom I have confidence, and I will at least grant tbem a fair and considerate hearing before condemning their actions. 7. I realize that many of the benefits of co * operation are intangible and immeasurable, and that they wil! accrue alike to members and non-members. Non members will fre quently receive better prices than members, but these facts will not shake my confidrnce, nor cause me to withdraw my support of cooperation. 8. I will read all official communications sent to members and attend meetings for th e consideration of the business of my organiza t'on. I will vote on all measures snbmitted to members by ballot. I will ofler constructive criticism and demand the highest possible degree of efficiency and service. 9. I realize that destructive criticism is of no value and that it imposes unnecessory ex • pense upon the organization. I will refrain therefore from using it. J. C.

H ere an dTh ere Banff.—J. B. Harkin, Commis- aioner of National Parks, bas announced that tbe formal opening of the Banff-Windermere Road, work on which was concluded last year, will take place on June 30. The ceremony is to be held nt Vermillion Crossing, half way between Banff •nd Windermere, motors leaving both ends of the road early in tha morning to meet at that place. Th* suggestion has been made by R. R. Bruce, of Invermere, that the National Park be named "Columbia National Park," and the road leading up the Columbia Valley from the boundary to Golden be named the "Canadian Columbia Highway." Victoria,—Motorists will have a new circuit trip available with the completion in May of the hifh- powered motor ferry now building at Yarrows. Not only will Island and Mainland be linked by the operation of this craft, but the Canadian Pacific will nave the steamer "Charmer" engaged ln the purpose farther north. The "Charmer" will operate between Vancouver and Nanaimo, furnishing accommodation for all types of can. With the new ferry in service, a new circuit will be made available—from Seattle via Bellingham to Sidney, thence to Victoria over paved road, to Nanaimo over the Malahat, thence by the "Charmer" to Vancouver and down" the Pacific Highway to the border Uae aad Seattle again. The motor ferry will have ample height between deck to allow for ill classes of cars. During the busy ■eason it will make two round trips •very day. The vessel will be fitted with observation rooms and open deck spaces to give tourists every opportunity to enjoy at their ease tne fine scenery through the channels between San Juan, Lopez and other islands of the Ban Juan archipelago. St. John. N.B.—The Canadian Pa- tific .freighter, "Bolingbroke" recently brought from London the largest import cargo to reach St. John since the war.

Included in he cargo were silks and other valuable dress goods, dry goods of various descriptions, perfumes and many other expensive commodities.

' On opening the crates in the Oriental ports the consignees of past shipments have found that the apples are as fresh as lf taken from the tree. This is partly due to the fact that at this time of the year the perishable cargo oaly sets one day of tropical heat during the whole voyage across. The "Asia" took approximately 860 ton* of this com* medity in her holds, the largest consignment of apples to go through the Narrows this season for the Orient. The enterprising Oregon plumber who has put a complete plumbing shop on wheels should not have to traveUar for jobs—and he will al- ways have hi* toola.-with him. (1) Mater Roger* lived in thia house ln Waterville, Minnesota. He else died here. ONE of the most difficult tasks in the conitrucdon of the Canadian Pacific Railway was to discover a way through the Rocky Mountains. A aumber of explorers Hard made attempts to find a way, but it remained for Major A. B. Rogers to discover the most feasible route, the route that waa chosen, and is now known as Rogers Pass. Major Rogers was a true type of railway pathfinder. The reputation he had made in the United States at a locating lagkiiii r ud his advanced ideas on: raUw»y mnttraction attracted th-* attention of tht wmadlan Pacific Railway officials, who et*, *tjt*d him to take charge oi the mountain section from Savona's Ferry in B.C., to Moose Jaw. He saw at ones the problem that confronted him in finding a straiirhU'r •road through the SelkTrks, tliaii (as was suggested) to follow tbe great bend northward of the Columbia River, a distance of over two hundred miles. He found the near way by following the South fork of ths Mecillewaet River to tbe present site of the Glacier House, where he climbed a mountain and gazed upon the summit of the pass that now bears Ms name. Major Rogers seems to have been a man of few words. His reports contain little beyond me technicalities of his undertakings, otherwise a description of the magnificent spectacle displayed by the Rogers Pass snd its surroundings, when •tea far tha first time hy a whtle man. (2) Watch preeented io Major Rogers, of Rogers Pass fame, about 1885. would be well worth the reading. This was in 1881. The following year the exploration was completed by ascending the Beaver River Valley to Bear Creek, a tributary stream, then up that stream through thc rugged defile between Mts..- MacDonald and Tupper to the summit of the pass, and over the same to the IMecillewaet Val- ly. The surveys of the main line between Calgary, at the Eastern base of the foothills of tlie Rockies, to which point they had been carried from the East, and the summit of the main nanpre were completed in 1883. Three years later daily trains were passing to and fro between Montreal and Port Moody, at tliat time the Pacific terminus of the railway; and so they pasjed for thirty-one years over this section, until with the opening of Uk Connaught Tunnel under Mount MacDonald, it was no longer needed. It was on November 7th, 1885, that the last spike in the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway across Can ada was driven at Craigillachie, Brit ish Columbia. This opened up a new era for Canada. In recognition of the valuable work done by Major Rogers the directors of the Canadian Pacific presented him with a cheque for $5,000 and a wartch^thus inscribed: !'P",seated to Maj' A. B. Rogers by the Directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company as a token of their indebtedness to him for the discovery of a pass tor the railway (3) Major A. B. Rogers, who discovered the Rogers Pass, the first feasible route through the Rockies to the Pacific Coast. through the Selkirk Mountains, and of their appreciation of his services as Engineer in Chief of the location of the Mountain section of the rail- Evidently Major Rogers was of s more poetical than financial temperament, tor he carried the cheque in his pocket for several years, and he only cashed it when his friends of the Canadian Pacific insisted that he should do so. At thc time of hit death In 1889, Major Rogers left his watch to his brother, L. Z. Rogers, of WotervWe, Minnesota, who in turn left it to hit ot>ly grandson, George Rogers Glotfel- ter. Young Glotfeher was killed in France on October 3rd, 1918. The watch is now in a safety deposit box of a Watervllle bank. There are, at present, two nephews of Major Rogers living, both of whom accompanied him on ail! of his explorations in the mountains, and were with him when he discovered Rogers Pass. They are Mr. Albert L. Rogers and Mr. John G. Rogers, HOC 5th Avenue, Seattle, Wash. The nieces of Major Rogers, and particularly Mrs. C. A. Gray, have taken a great deal of interest bi the activities of their uncle, and are m possession of a great many of his original letters, newspaper clippings, Including letters to him from bath Sir William Van Home and Lord Shaughnessy.

P., about 35 miles northeast of Calgary as the crow flies, Is in the grip of an Incipient silver boom. On Saturday and Sunday men from the local district and from points afield, where the news spread with the usual rapidity of such tidings, staked out claims covering several sections about four miles east of the town. These were registered at the federal land office ln Calgary. No assay has yet lieen made of ths ore, but tbose Interested ln tbe property are sending n sample to Edmonton. It may be necessary to bore another test hole, ths finders say, before sufficient ore can be obtained to get a reliable assay. The original find was made by crews drilling for water and much of the flrst ore taken out bas been given away ae samples. The first find was made about tbre;- months ago. CALGARY, Alta. "We eannot expect to recover ln a year or so from the effectR of abnormal circumstances tlie whole country has beea suffering from," remarked W. B.

"No matter wbat pessimists may say," he continued, "the resources of this country in minerals and In the fertility of Its soli has not. been appreciably touched and It has been Inadequately advertised. The Province of Alberta, with its agricultural possibilities. Its wealth of coal, and in my opinion, the waterpower of Its streams and hills need only population to bring tbese possibilities Into wealth.

GEORGE E. BUCHANAN, a Chatham, Ont., boy who is now a proaperoos cowl dealer n Detroit, aMributes bis success largely to an offer made him when he was a boy that he would have a trip to Europe If he saved up a tWrd of the cost. The offer was made by a friend who promised to lend a third provided George's father lent the other third, the loans to be repaid when George could afford to do so. Here was a real incentive tor saving, and when the trip was made it proved of aa educational value that has stood Ma ia good stead all his Hfe. Laat year Mr. Buchanan made a trip to Alaska, and tht idea occurred to him of making the same kind oi offer to other boys that he had himself enjoyed In his own youth. But the trip should be to Alaska aad not to Europe. As soon as he made the announcement, he was inundated with applications, and a large party oi Detroit boys has already been booked to sail from Vancouver on the Canadian Pacific steamer "Princess Louise" on July 14th. I Mr. Buchanan will personally conduct the tour which he is thus helping to financt;. He says that such a trip would have been worth ttO.OOO to him If lit had taken it him self a hit own boyhood because of Its educational aad broadening Iftflu- encea. The Rev. Lynn Harold Hough, pastor of the Central Methodist Church, William Livingstone, president of the'Dime Savings Bank, and Circuit Judge Joseph A. Moynihan have indorsed Buchanan's scheme as an unusual opportunity for boys to learn the value of thrift and industry. But the trip will have still other benefits, as Mr. Buchanan has said. These lads cannot cross thc continent and take that wonderful trip up the island-sheltered waters of the Pa cific Coast without Ha having a tt** mendously stimulating effect upon their imagination, and upon their future modes of thought and lift. From Vancouver up to Skagway and back is a nine-dav trio that can never be forgotten. The yacht-like "Princess Louise" glides over a still sea among countless islands that rise forest-clad or mountainous on either side against a snow line of mow- capped mountain peaks. The Indian villages of Alaska with their totea poles arc unique, and they too wid have a special charm for these fifty fortunate boys. bide ram °" CLEVELAND IT brings the whole country for miles around within easy reach.

The Objects of this Institution, for which Incorporation was recently obtained, are: "To provide a Home and Refuge for Baby and Infant Blind; to provide free Scientific Care, Training and Maintenance; to Save the Lives of even a few of the many of such unfortunates, who, for the lack of such ser« 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 greatly needed Child Welfare Service. Careful enquiry at the Government offices in the venous provinces 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 York City; they have 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 io the British Empire. Let us have tbe SECOND in Canada. To reach this worthy end money is urgently required, Fifty Thousand Dollars is the present objective of the Boajd. 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 aoknowledged.
