A dark gloom spread over the whole community when it was whispered about that Mr. McCutcheon was gone.- Born of Irish descent in York County, Ont., on June 4th, 1851, making his age 12 years, 6 months and 3 days. ' He moved west to Dakota ,and in 1882 was bookkeeper for a' large ranch owned by a Scotch syndicate. Then going to Victoria for a time he moved to Kamloops and iu 1884 was -purser on one of J. A. Mara's boats on Shuswap lake plying between Savona Ferry and Sicamous. The same year he bought the Inland Sentinel, at Kamloops (now The Kamloops Standard-Sentinel) and was in charge of it until 1894. During that time he was a great advocate 'of making Kamloops the capital of the Province. Iu '94 he moved to Rossland and was employed in Campbell Bros, store. He remained in Rossland three years when he was made Customs Officer at Nakusp and later Collector of Customs at Greenwood which post he held for 24 years up to the time of his death. In the early days he was active in the political life of the Province and was the Liberal candidate in Kamloops when Theo- Davie_ was premier. At�� that time the election was postponed in Kamloops and when it was held G. B. Martin, the government candidate was elected. In 1896 he campaigned for H, Bostock, who was elected to the Federal Parliament when Laurier went into power. At that time he made many speeches iu the Boundary and Okanagan. He was a faithful church worker and was a charter member of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church at Kamloops, having been on the Board of Managers when it ,was built. He was on the Board of Managers of St, Columba Presbyterian Church in Gree'nwodd, He took an active part in the affairs of the city and for years was chairman of the School Board. He also assisted in all local enterprizes. Curling was his" favorite game and it was "only last winter that a number of his friends invited him to the local rink where he won his last match. The late Mr. McCutcheon was married to Miss Margaret McLean in Kamloops in 1889. He is survived by his wife and two sons Roderick of Los Angeles and Creighton; also a brother and four sisters, David of Vancouver, Civic Nominations Nominations for Mayor and Aldermen, Police Commissioners and School Trustee were held on Monday. All were elected by acclamation. The new City Council for the ensuing term- is practically tbe Bame as last year with the exception that Thos. Jenkin replaces W. H. Docksteader. , CITY COUNCIL Mayor, T. M. Gulley; Aldermen, Jas. Kerr, G. B. Taylor, Chas. King, A. N. Mowat, A. J. Morrison and Thos. Jenkin.. SCHOOL TRUSTEES A. N". Mowat, L. Bryant and Jas. Kerr (re-elected.) POLICE COMMISSIONERS A. J. Morrison and Robt. Forshaw. With the Curlers ' Curling has got off to a good start. A number of games have been played in the President vs Vice-President competition. Walmsley and Goodeve tied with nine points each and in the second game Taylor lost to Muir by 4 to 12. This leaves the president with an adverse of 8 points to overcome with his game with the vice-president. In the Warren Cup competition Goodeve was victorious over Taylor by 10-3. Owing largely to the president's untiring efforts the two sheets of ice are now in very good condition and the members are looking forward to some strenuous games. " - ' News From the Capital Victoria, Jan. 9th.���Perhaps the outstanding achievement of the Oliver government during J1923 was the redaction in freight rates, secured only after a long and'bitter fight. However, the deotease in rates does not satisfy Premier Oliver, who has announced his determination to carry on the fight until all discrimination against British Columbia has been removed. Thanks to the political aspirations of certain outside faction! during the past summer and fall, a wrench has been thrown into the machinery of government in this province, but it promises to have little effect upon general conditions. Owing to the methods of the Third party to gain public favor, through the launching of a broadside at the party in power, a thorough investigation of P. G. Ry. matters is in prospect. The outcome of-this enquiry through a Royal- commis-- sion will find the political situation unchanged, excepting that the government will be stronger and the ambitious provincials" outside the pale. But the public must pay, first the cost of the enquiry and the consequent loss of time of its public servants, and secondly the Kettle Valley Notes : Miss May Caldwell returned to Grand Forks last week. Several carloads of cattle were shipped from Rock Creek last week. ^ J. Pearson left for Penticton where he is spending a holiday with his son. Harold .Martin who has. been" spending the festive season hers has returned to Trail. Some people may think that railway conductors are hard hearted. Maybe they are only jealous. Matins and Holy Communion will be held in the Anglican Chnrch on Sunday, Jan. 13th at" 11 o'clock. Capt.

Providence Mine Presbyterian Church Minister in charge Rsv. W. R. Walkinshaw. B. A. Greenwood Sanday. January 13th Greenwood 7.30 p.m. Two shifts are now working at the Providence mine. W.

E. McCutcheon was killed in the Great War. He was a man who united sound sense with strong convictions, and was candid and outspoken which eminently fitted him to mould the rude elements of pioneer society < into form . and consistency and aided iu raising a high standard of citizenship in our young and growing country. How much this community owes him it is impossible to estimate. No bronze or marble shaft, no splendor of ancient or modern tombs can adorn the memory of such manly men. Their lives, their deeds, their influence, living or dead, and their pure aspirations are the monuments that will keep their names burning in the homes of kindred- and breth- ern. While the silence of death wraps and chills us at this moment, memories, sweet and precious, come crowding in. The school and business places were closed during the funeral service. - The funeral service was layed Premier O/iver would be in Ottawa now, carrying on fehe battle for fair-play, if it were not fpr the pending investigation. However, his hat is hi the ring and there ife will stay, ho declares, until justice has been done by British Columbia. The removal of freight rases discrimination is the big issue before the Pacific province and' while victory will come eventually, it is regtettable that petty politics mast continue to obstruct the legitimate business of the administration."

Communication [The Ledge invites correspondence of a public nature but does not hold itself, in any way, responsible for the opinion'-, expressed.] _ Kettle Valley, B.C., Janv3rci, 1,924. Editor Thb.Lkdgb, Sir: I think it mutt have been a matter of wonder to those who take any interest in politics as it certainly has been to myself, how Mr. Bowser when cornered svould reconcile his speech at Sooke, March 24th, 1923, with his confidential " letter"to"Pfemief Brewster January 28th, 191S. Extract from speech "Mr. Oliver blames uie for the money sunk in the P. G. E. I did not advise them to settle svith the contractors. We had the persona! guarantee of Foley, Welch 8c Stewart to finish tbe line, a guarantee perfectly good for the $21,006,000 advanced. But Premier Oliver steps in with h'ls insatiable desire to pose as a great railway builder, and cancelled that guarantee . ." Extract from Bowser's letter: "So far as I am concerned personally and I think I may speak for tbe oppose tion, I am -willing to agree not to oppose or obstruct such settlement in the House by taking a passive stand and at the same time to statevthat I will net take any advantage of such a settlement by critic- izhj-i you for making same . .", , Here is Mr. Bowser's explanation m _. speech at Sidney, December 29th, 1923. Extract from speech. > "In tbis letter Mr. Bowser told Premier Brewster thai il tbe Government took over the railway he would not oppose or approve the plan in the Legislature, but would take a passive stand. But when he wrote the letter, Mr. Bowser emphasized, be aad no idea ofthe way the new government would mishandle railway affairs." This explanation of Mr. Bowser's is an insult to the intelligence; of the electors. The mishandling of the railway by the Oliver Government after the agreement was rnade, is another question altogether, the real point is that the Oliver Govem- mest made a thoroughly bad Agreement ....-.with the contractor*, thereby saddling ;-tb�� Province with a debt of some $ 20,- X 000,000 which-has since swollen to some t:'&5,ooo,oo6, and thai Mr. Bowser, who 7 now says the agreement sboald neyeV S'havs been made, while Leader of the ���j Opposition wrote the letter already ffqeoted, saying that lie would not '6ppose 'this infemons agreement, thereby, betray- ���-ing th�� people of BritishColambia. % ��� ��� , ST. LEWIS. "The Bond Boy" A thrilliug man hunt with blood hounds, is one of the gripping features of Richard Barthelmess' "The Bond Boy," which will be the First National attraction at fehe Greenwood Theatre on Saturday, Jan. 12th. Barthelmess, as Joe Fewbolfe, is aeeii as "the fugitive and he declares the taking of these scenes made the cold chills run up and down hiB spine because the experience was so realistic. In the story Joe allows himself to be convicted of a murder he did not commit in order to- Bhield a woman. Sentenced to die, he makes a dramatic escape from jail. Bloodhounds are put on his trail and a hair raising pursuit follows. Barthelmess' portrayal parallels "Tol'able David" in point of power, and character. He is surrounded by a distinctive cast, the principal members of which are Mary Alden, cast as an unforgettable mother and Mary Thurman, as an unwilling wife. A grizzly bear barbecue will be one of the features of the Winter Carnival at Banff in February. Ten Canadian and three United States teams have already entered for the Eastern International Dog Derby, which will be run during tho Winter Carnival in Quebec, February 21, 22 and 23. Progress and bright prospects in the development of sodium sulphate in Saskatchewan.-is reported by the Bureau of'��� Labor- and Industries. Sodium sulphate recovered from Saskatchewan deposits is now being., used in the manufacture of glass at' Redcliff; - - . .' A report of the British Columbia Industrial / Commission Department shows -loans to. industries amounting to $1,176,694 embracing 60 plants. Repayments have been made on principal by 55 industries. Total repayments amount to $181,428, of which $71,245 was interest. For the purpose of extending Canadian trade in Greece, Turkey ancl the Eastern Mediterranean, W. McL. Clarke, Canadian Trade Com-4 missioner at Milan, Italy, has been* instructed to visit these countries and report on the opportunities for the sale of Canadian goods. ���1 n E. D. Calvert, noted guide and sportsman of Rainy River, who has done much towards bringing tourists from all parts of the United ?tatos to the Iiake of the Woods, states that the tourist traffic this year has greatly'exceeded all previous years and anticipates a greater increase next season. United States grain shipped from Canadian .sorts during the crop year, September 1, 1922 to August 31, 1923, totalled 55,000,000 bushels. This meant total handlings of approximately 110,000,000 bushels, aa it was necessary i'or the grain to pass through the elevators'at lake ports and at ports of exit'. Miss Marion Towne, of Berlin, N.H., who in three years since she first put on a ski. has achieved fame through her daring and grace-, ful jumping, has expressed her de-" sire to compete with Canada's best girl ski jumpers at the winter sports carnival in Quebec on February" 21, 22, 23 and 24th, during which time she will make exhibition jumps. Further indications that the year 1923 will create a crecord in ocean traffic are shown by figures given out at the headquarters of the Canadian Pacific Steamships! Bookings for westbound sailings were exceptionally large, while those for sailings to the Old Country for Christmas and tlie New Year were in advance of the traffic of any', previous year.. The Calgary Board of Trade is taking interest in the proposal of large British interests, which involves the utilization of western straw for the manufacture of paper and other products, and is getting all possible information with respect to the development of industries. Hundreds of thousands of .tons of straw are burned in the prairies every year, which it is claimed has a commercial value. St. Jovite, Quebec, has been chosen once more as a movie location, and arrangements have becn made by Conrad Nagle and Alma Rubens for .the transportation of themselves, party of 17 and equipment to that place during the early winter. Last winter Lionel Barrymore and Seena Gwen located at St. Jovite for the filming of "Snow Blind" prior to taking other parts of the picture around the Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, and Windermere, British Columbia. Traffic through the Lac.hine Canal in 1923 showed an increase over that of 1.922 in almost every particular, the total grain carried being 88,285,270 bushels, as compared with 87,831,212 in 1922, the best previous year; coal receipts totalling 813,591 tons, compared with 384,575 tons; the ship tonnage operated being 5,462,200; against . 4,786,543; shipments of ��� pulpwood totalling 356,980 tons, against 313,134 last year; the cargo tonnage being 4,- 411,183, compared with 4,360,328; and the number of passengers carried totalling 78,097, against 69,392 hi 1922. There was nearly $100,000,000 increase in the total tiade of Canada for the first five months of the current fiscal year, according to a return" made by the Department of Customs and Excise. The total trade of. the Dominion, according to the return, for the five months ending-with August, "was :?785,000,000, as against $626,000,000 during the same period a year a��o.
