31st Year*=No. 23 "Tell me what you Know Is true, I can guess as well M you." Major Crime Committed Near City On Sunday night, the C.PjR. track near Fisherman, eight miles west of tbis city, was "tampered with," leading to the derailment of the engine and mall car of the westbound Kettle Valley passenger train early Sunday morning. One rail on the outer side of the track was removed bodily from the ties and laid in an adjoining ditch. •nd the rail next above it was un spliced from the ties from end t > end but left Still attached by angle- Irons to the one next above. In re- . moving the nuts from the bolts on the angle-irons, oil was applied io loosen ^e threads. The angle-irons were thrown in a nearby brook and the rest of the hardware was found on the rock Ibank. The implements with which the spikes were removed were not located. THiifj was a few yards below a rock cut on a curve, and the headlight of the locomotive would sweep to the left toward the rock cut, without revealing the defective track, this accounting for the engineer.

Those specifications were ne 'cr again men tloned In the ivnrs oi di! set .'tiort- age which foilovci. Bui they havo lingered In the popular memory, lu consequence a considerable cynic.sm and disillusionment is found nliuut tbe regime's ability to Improve the everyday lot of the nveroge citizen. That disillusionment is no sight obstacle. The Kremlin Is exerting Itself mightily to overcome It. First the disillusion of food, clothes, furniture, household goods, etc., and Ihe "manufacture of some of these things were placed In the control of a special commfssarlai of supplies, headed by Anastos Mlkoyan. More recently a commissariat of light industry was organized, with Isidore Lu- blmov at Its head, to direct thc manufacture of goods of generol use. Thus In the shortest i-sslble terms the Soviet leaders are demonstrating their determination to conquer thts side of their plan even as they are conquering heavy industry. Although there Is widespread disappointment with the accomplishments to date in the matter of livslig conditions, those aooomplishmenta) are hy no means negligible. Human ' nature Is remarkably prevalent, even under Bolshevism; the Soviet citizen putg far more stress on what he lacks than he does on what he nos- VANCOUVER, April 14.—Injection of a high standard of humor In a gigantic effort to eliminate sullen discontent, then fearless non-party community effort to solve the major crisis of unemployment, were advocated by .Major Hhrold Brown, board of trade president, Friday, to Vancouver Real Estate Exchange members in Hotel Georgia. "There is not the slightest reason to lose our heads of humor. We should radiate good humor. It isn't British to yield to an economic ide- pressVin. TJhe problem isn't so crushing for a province as ours." he said, in estimating that 80 per cent of Canadians are remuneratively employed. "The basic weakness of the economic fabric," he considered, were "malignant growths of pointless expenditures," which "Idegrade the human character," he stated. "The gorgeous spectacle in Victoria of the so-called probe—at $200 a flay—In which if anyone spoke the truth he would be crucified," exemplifies the policy "to drift," he con eluded. "I w-as treated ao a spectacle of chameless evasion, and witnessed a careful plan of distorting truth," he recalled. 'Imagine if you can this policy of drift. It makes ia appear our potentialities have failed us. Relief, as we know it today, shows no moral value We know a drain is going on point- lessly, in administering this form of rel.ef. '"liie session is rapidly closing after a lot of ridiculous discussion, some of no consequence. Can you po nt to one constructive suggestion?" he asked of members, here was no response. iM'tvror Brown contended there, is a 'lack of depth of thought and pre- coutionary foresight, which alnoe can save us." After prorogation of the provincial hoive, issuance of orders and claims for sustenance will still be necessary "Are we to sit down and allow this drain of capital to continue? This unemployment phenomenon has got to be hondled by the community," he He then outlined highlights of the land settlement scheme advanced before tbe government by Vancouver board of tirade. "Highly worthy people, suddenly confronted with the loss of eurning power— heads of huseholds—must bu diverted -to other forms of ecu nomlc usefulness. We have gone astray. We have long since passed point of saturation (as regards local unemployed relief work expenditures) amd it is too heavy o burden to liold.unless the population is progressive," he stated. "WJiat are you going to do about the unemployed head of a household fffisere must be some form of community land settlement. It would encourage the best form of education, retain moral values and stop despondency," he contended. ''We are not concerned about the details but want government consent to a land settlement scheme under non-political control," Major Brown aaid, in relating advantages of community effort to re-establish unemployed on a self-supporting basis, o _________ ____r- ■ : bill, Labor, against the hill. i'o!.

Sales of Lead And Zinc Was Higher in 1931 . . Every adult, male or female, who bas an income of whatever amount, whether working the whole year or only part of it, must file a provincial j income tax this year. IJRAIL.—Sales of lead and zinc in excess of 1930 were shown by W. S. Hugh, vice-president in charge of sales for the Consolidated iWining & Smelting company, in his annual report for 1931. The report "follows: Although extremely unsatisfactory conditions prevailed in the metal trade, we are aible to report, si les of lord an,i zinc in excess of the previous year. Values, however, were down, all markets receding steadily until June, when extreme lows were reached in both metals, and while followed by some recovery, the yearly averages were considerably below 1930. Sales of 1930 an'd 1931 in pounds: Lead, 1930, 251, 00.000; 1931, 360,200,- 000. Zinc, 1930, 170,600,000; 1931. 207,800,000. The outlook for 1932, judging by results for ahe first quarter, while not particularly bright, has favorable features. 1|he stock reported at the beginning of the year may loom large in comparison wiah slocks during periods of good business, but thoy are mainly In the hands of producers, with censumers still following their "hand to mouth" policy, so that any betterment in general conditions is likely to taring prompt market response. Conslderap,!e encouragement for price Improvemonn may also be found In the following table of world production for the last throe years: Lead, 1929, 1,931. ".44; 1930, 1 834.- 730; 1931, l.r.l- 711. Zinc, 1929. 1.- 0_0,R!I«; 1939, l,r,r,ri,21ti; 1931, 1,129,- siis lions of 2000 lbs.) Curtailment In zinc Is particularly noticeable, nnd shouldd become more so, as producers at present are con fining operations to about r,0 per cent of capacity. The effect is already quite apparent In the, steady reduction of stocks. Load was close to 80 per cent of capacity for most of the year, but the percentage is now somewhat lower, with Intmttcatious of further curtailment. Sales of bismuth and cadmium (byproducts) were substantial, but like other metals, prices were affected by over-supply, largely through curtsil- ment in consumption. There is encouragement, however, ih the frequent announcements of new uses, particularly for cadmium, giving future promise for Increased demanid. Sales of the products of our fertilizer plant continued satisfactorily, but the prevailing low levels of value of farm products, which have seriously curtailed the purchasing power of the farmer, together with large surplus supplies of fertilizer mateii- VlCTO'RIsV.

A shipment of grapes from Australia were so quickly cleaned up that many dealers never had a chance to inspect them. It was considered that the shipment was so successful as to warrant a much larger order, which will arrive about April. 25. Butter production in British Cllum- bia for January and February last totalled 318,000 pounds, adecrease of 33,000 from a similar period last year The falling off was due chiefly to the lower mainland; creameries in other parts showing a- slight Increase in product on. Local cabbage Is off the market, and Imported stuff Is selling at 7c per pound. Head lettuce is selling at $.1 a ciaae. Ikanagnn onions are selling at $4 a sack and Australian at $0. A car lnt of green pens Is selling at Vie per pound. In the apple market fancy delicious are wholesaling at $2.40 per box, Mcintosh Red func> $1.60 per box( and Stayman Winesap at $2.25 per box.. The potato market continues weak on the prairies. Calgary jobbers are buying Gems at $0 per ton sacked. On the Saskatoon market British C'-lumbla cucunfbei's are selling te *3 to $3.50 per dozen, ami British Columbia onions at $0 a bag. 'Phe Vancouver cattle market last week was draggy with no change In prices except that veal was about $1 per hundred, lower. lings were from 25c to 50c lower and very unsettled. It is expected that within the next 80 days the market will he stronger, as the heavy run of hogs will be near an end. The lanmb market has been steady with a good demand for all grades of Iambs. The 'lhall-Castlegar highway was thrown thrown open to traffic last Saturday, Gladiolus Embargo Following representations of the m.nlster of agrlcultute, advices have been received from Ottawa that an embargo has been placed against gladiolus corms entering British Columbia from the United States or other countries. As the conns can be ralse(1 to perfection In the province, this should prove encouraging to local seedsmen, who can be assured oi a permanent home market if prices are satisfactory. The embargo was placed on account of the " thrips infesting Importqil gladolli. Coa6t Shipping Highest According to figures compiled by the Dominion information bureau, Victoria was in 1931 visited by more ships thon any other port in the Dominion, while Vancouver recorded the greatest shipping tonnage. Victoria received 4997 ships as against 4709 for Vancouver and 1699 for Montreal. In tonnage Vancouver was first withl2,321,000; Victoria second with 9,:!82,000; Halifax thiivl with 8,184.000, and Montreal fourth with 7,3777,000. Victoria's record was probably due to the number of ships colling on their way to Viiiicouv.>i', Seattle and Puget Sound ports. Imports Decrease British Columbia has long been a heavy importer of agricultural and foodstuffs. Last year, however, foreign Imp :rts of these commodities fell trim $-5,139,000 In 1930" to $1,807,- 000, so that British Columbia has become nearer to being a self-sustaining province than at. any time In flic past 20 sears.

Superior Court Judge Foster of Bridgeport. Connecticut, gave himself zero !n English, but marked himself 100 in law.

Foster, decinlng to set aside the judgments, said: "This group of words constitutes awkward, clumsy and imperfect English. In place of these words there should be substituted 'reasonably prudent person.' But the only power the court has to disturb the verdict is baaed on some error of law 'by the judge or jury."

As a result of tlie discorios in the pic.uity ol Trajan s forum, Corado Hicco, director of excavations, has formulated the conclusion that earthquakes, internal strife, sheer carelessness and indifference wrought far more destructson in ancient Heme than did the 'barbarians. One of the latest discoveries is a long colonnade of heavy pillars all toppled, leaning against other like trees bent by a strong wind. Their destruction was not due U human vandals, but was traced to an earthquake in 801, when the city was under the papal rule of Pope Leo III. As the excavations heve re- vealed increasing evidence that the barbarians wore ma- l.gned, the director's work has intensified their study of the old historical records and they have been able to demonstrate that many buildings and temples supposedly- destroyed in the "Back!" of the city were standing long after the last barbarian departed. Much of the bad name of the barbar.ans may be due to the prejudiced reporting by the early Christians, who, as was amply demonstrated In the reporas of persecutions under the empire, never let accuracy stand ln the way of giving their enemies a bed name. Even without support from the most unprejudiced records to be found the archeologists iu charge of the present work have become convinced by the massive size of thp structure uncovered that the des ruction of buildings by the Invading armies was out of he questsOn.

ISOLATION HOSPITALS Our older readers may recall the time when they used to hold theV breath in passing a house which was placarded for a communicable disease. They may also remember that solation hospitals were built away from the residential area, and that the smallpox hospital was regarded as a pest house. 'lliut attitude) can l.'.e understood when we realize that, in the past, lt was generallj believed that the communicable diseases wero ulr-borne. It was during the same period also that sewer-gas wag considered to be a serious menace and was regarded as the came of many Ills. Wi, know now that disease is not air-borne, and we know too that the guiiinB of disease are usually spread in a fairly direct manner from the s'.ck to the well, or by tho transfer- enie of fresh, germ-laden secretions, Tho sick are isolated In order to set up a barrier which will prevent contact of the sick with the well, and so stop any chance o the transfer of secretion. f Isolation hospitals are required be- casa in man}' homes It ls not possible to Isolate the "case. To begin with, the home may be overcrowded and so a separate room is not available. The easct of communicable disease requires nursing care, and the moth- re who has other children to look after cannot give her whole time to the case. If the case is a serious one, then the treatment of a hospital are required as they are in any serious Illness. The community which has an isolation hospital has something for which to be thankful. Such an insti- tut'on is a treatment facility which aids_ in protecting the whole community add which provides hospital care for those who, for one reason or another, require it. It has only been comparatively recently that the public have looked favorably upon hospitals. They used to be Ireganded as places which were to be avoided at all costs. Now they are recognised for their true worth us life-saving Institutions. To a cer- tcut, Iho old view still persists with regard to lsoluUon hospitals, any muii} parents hesitate to commit their children to the care of these insti tuitions. 'flho isolation hospital differs from other hospitals only in that lt limits its admission to oases of communicable diseases, The facilities for treatment and the care given to patients are of just us high an order as in other hospitals. We are now coming to the time when Isolation hospitals will not he built away from the community, but will form part of the general hospital. There is no danger In oan .solation hospital, lt Is one of the safest places In the world, because the necessary precautions are taken there to prevent the spread of disease germs.

Sixteen are published in communities of less than 1000 population; fifteen In communities of 1000 to MOO population; seven In communities of 4000 to 6000; foor In communities over 5000 to 10,000. These weeklies appeal to 145,000 of British Colombia's population. The news In these newspapers ls mostly all local, because that la what Interests the readers, and the advertisements for the most part tell what local merchants are doing. The country editor knows the people he serves; they are farmers, lumbermen, miners, fishermen, prospectors, laborers, all. It Is estimated that tbe average farm family spends $2000 every year for things which are not necessary to raise crops. The total sum that Is spent by farmers In the United States for ' those things with which to live well Is the appaling sum of thirteen billion dollars. Seventy-two per cent, of all automobiles sold go to people living in towns and comunltles of less than 5000 population. Using the same proportionate figures to estimate the buying power of the rural population of British Columbia served by the weekly newspapers of the province, and we have something like 70,000 automobiles purchased by residents of the province in towns and communities of less than 5000 population, and $6,000,000 spent every year by these rural families for things which are not necessary to raise crops. If one is inclined to think that only a few people, and an Insignificant few at that, live in country communities served by the weekly newspapers let hlm study these, figures or consult the last census statistics.

Good taste and a little intelligent work would do a lot to improve things. Our tourist trade is getting bigger year by year, and, undoubtedly, the tourist wants something different. Flowers, shrubs, trees and a well- kept garden, are most restfuland attractive. How can this be done? By planting trees, (lowering shrubs and plants; but the planting must be d ne after some definite plant First of all, one wants a planting thatls not easily damaged, because where a large number of people congregate they are apt to be none too careful as to where they step. Secondly, we want a planting that ts not going to take a fortune to keep ln order. And thirdly, we want a planting that will look Its best during the holiday season, that Is to say, from June until September, and will at the same time be at least presentable at all seasons of the year. At the outset let lt be said that the cheapest way of laying out grounds Is to employ a landscape architect to make the plan, and then have it followed to the letter. There are many people, however, who for one reason or another, prefer to do all their planning and planting themselves, and for these a few hints are offered. If, on your location, you have some good native trees.don't on any account cut them down, because you cannot grow a large tree in a lifetime. Rather arrange your plan so as to work the existing trees Into thc general scheme. Now make some definite plan and have at least one main feature. This may be whatever takes your fancy—perhaps a rose gisrden, which will be at Its best during the holiday months, If you have an abundant supply of water. Per- naps a water garden, with pools full of water lilies, will be acceptable, for these will be In full bloom iduring the summer. Perhaps your location I s rocky. If so, the rock garden will have its appeal, but it will take careful planting to have a large show of bloom and ferns during August. A very attractive feature may be made by having pergolas with climbing roses. By choosing your roses properly you can have some blooming most of the season. A garden of heathers Is a feature that may be had ln bloom for most of the year. ; It Ib astnishlng how some particular will make the name of a place known from one end of tbe country to the other.

Many people think I DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK One of childhood's choicest queries has ever been and ever will be: "How does it work?" and it seemed a wholly enthralling idea to two young passengers, who recently travelled from Nottingham, England, to Lemberg, Sask., when Engineer Fred Munt, of the Canadian Pacific Railway" invited them into the cab of his huge "2800" type locomotive. The young travellers were Walter and Willie Wilson, aged 12 and 10 years, who journeyed alone from their grandmother's home in the Old Country to join their mother.

Who were they and how |dld they die? These questions, Leonard Wool- ley and other members of the expedition of British Museum and the Univeralty of Pennsylvania are trying to answer as they continue their explorations in this unique tomb, which they believe belongs to the period of the second dynasty of kings of Ur. about 2800 B.C., concerning which little is known. During the course of excavations that brought to light the wall of a temple dating about 1950 B.C., and a ser.es of buildings of the 3000 B.C. period, they came upon this ancient tomb and were amazed to find the 18 richly uppiii'iilled bodies, remnants of old fires and feasts and other traces Of the ritual of the multiple burial. o Adaptable "Senator, are you dry or wet?"

Spent more than $11,000,000 on new Branch Lines and station buildings and provided 351,000 days work for men otherwise unemployed. Cooperated by doing work years ahead. ■■|ince the commencement of the • 1 existing economic situation the »,anadian Pacific Railway has .pent a matter of eleven to twelve million dollars in providing work lor unemployed Canadians. When it was apparent in the late summer of 1930, that certain areas of southern Saskatchewan were to suffer from almost complete crop failure, the Company took upon Itself to assist the people in that territory by beginning the construction of a branch line between Vanguard and M a y - ronne. This line would not, in the ordinary course of events, have been built for some time, and certainly not at a time when there was no crop available in that particular territory. But the Company desired ■tr. E. W. Beatty 1 Presides. We Are Sales o4gents for First in Quality- First in Service A waitress should always wear fetching costume.

The total cost of the line is •Mtimated to be approximately lis,000,000, and this work is still juroceeding. The Dominion Government subsequently undertook considerable * ark for the unemployment relief, a »d the Canadian Pacific was 1 died upon to cooperate. This t>e Company did to the limit of its anility' by anticipating works j.aich would, normally, not have V *n started for a number of years. These works included a number of new branch lines, the building of a new station at Regina, some grade revision in British Columbia, aad also the application on various subdivisions of new rail and new rock and gravel ballast. The total cost of these works were estimated at $11,514,000 and, according to agreement with the Government, are to be completed at the end of the current year. It is true that the Dominion agreed to pay interest for a limited period on this capital cost, but after receipt of this interest, the Canadian Pacific will still have expended over $10,000,000 from its own Treasury in order to improve the situation in the country generally. This expenditure has been made at a time when the Company's revenues are suffering Beverely as a result of business depression. This programme of work, undertaken in order to cooperate with the Government, liad_ given 351,000 days work to individuals otherwise unemployed up to August 31st last, and at September 14th it was estimated that approximately 100,- 000 more working days would be furnished before the works were completed. Although the Company has succeeded in milking substantial reductions in operating costs, it has hesitated to pursue its policy of economy to the limit out of regard for the serious obligation which rests upon all corporations to give as much employment as possible. While protecting the interest of shareholders as fur as ib consistent with its duty to the country, the Canadian Pacific has been conservative in its application of measures which would increase the number of unemployed in Canada. Only recently, after experiencing very severe decreases in earnings, have they pared down their force* to the bare essentials necessary for operation.

From the day of hls arrival in the West In 1849. from Quebec, where he - was born In 1827, this brave and energetic Oblate had staunch friends among the Indians and continued to establish himself, both among them and the white population, as one of the best-known and most-loved characters of the most stirring day. of the Prairies.

Left, is the 2800 type Canadian Pacific Railway locomotive, a model of the great machine that dtaws modern passenger trains across the Dominion. Comparison of the two locomotives will bring home the Immense development in the past 100 years. The four driving wheels ot the "Dorchester" were 48 inches in height. The six driving wheels of the 2300 type locomotive are 76 Inches In height. Engine and tender weight of the "Dorchester" was just over 10,000 lbs; of the 2800 lt ta 648,800 lbs. Tractive force of the "Dorchester" ls not given, hut it must have been greatly lesi than the 46,000 lbs of the Canadian Pacific engine.
