We are able to state that J.. W. Williams, of Spokane, and associates, hold what is generally .called a "Lease and Bond" on the property. . The best news is that Al. Morrison has been appointed Manager; and, his appointment, provided he be given a free hand with right to "hire and- fire", and moneys to purchase necessary machinery, and' pay wages, is an assurance that this will again be a payable Mine. .The Lessees are lucky in getting Morrison, who with Dan McGillis, held a Lease on the Claim from 1916 until the Fall of 1919,. and they made the Mine pay. On the expiry of this Lease they offered to take another Lease, paying; 15 per cent, royalty, and this was refused, and since then the property has not paid the owners. The Mine is in. a very bad condition with .practice ally no ore in sight, and it will be up to Morrison to find ore and develop the property;, but there is not a mining man here who doubts his success, if given a free hand, .and loyal backing of the Lessees. - EJfficient- management is generally more necessary than a rich mining.property.

W.-'- .-. - ��� .. yy Memorial Ceremony -At i- o'clock on Empire Day a, good crowd assembled at the District War Memorial to pay their respects to the departed soldiers. Rev. E. A. St. G. Smyth opened the ceremony with prayer after which P. H. McCurrach delivered the following address:-��� "Once more we aro privileged feo gather round our War Memorial to do honour to Our Noble Dead. It seems >to me that the annual recurrence of an event of. tbis nature should be ia reminder to each and every one of us that time is hastening on, and that ife will not be long before our children will be taking our places in such gatherings and for this reason ife is our bouhden duty to try to instil into fehe minds of our young people a proper respect .and regard for the memory of the men whose fna'mes appear on this Memorial. I cannot help recalling the words that were spoken ai the unveiling of this Memorial, when the speaker referred to the occasion as being another "milestone" in the pathway, of our history. Iu looking back over the years that have gone, ifc is scarcely possible to realize thafc nearly eleven years have passed away since the Powers that were in control ofthe German people at that-time, laid down the gauntlet and called their people to armp, resulting in a war that has left this world in 'such a state of chaos that; even the minds of our greatest statesmen today are taxed to the utmost to find a remedy for. But for every such situation, there if, there must be a remedy, aud we can only look forward to the future, supremely confident that there will arise men and- women who will lead the world's footsteps back again into the proper paths from which, at the present time, they seemed to have strayed. Now, I know, at this time you are not looking for any long oration, and I believe that most of the phases of the situation have been very completely covered -by those ,who have spoken around this monument on previous occasions. Permit me just in word to say that I feel sure that a gathering such as we have here today, must have an uplifting influence on all.who are. privileged to be present, teaching us. to remember, what I amafraid, we are too prone to forget, rthe :.sacrifices' made by those men who at their country's call rallied, to. the.flag, held back the foe,, and saved 'for., us. that liberty - of action which. we, -; as British people, claim as our, rights. IfcJ.is.only natural that "we -,'ehould think most about the": part,iplayed in the _w a r _ by_ onto wn co un try m en',- and I. think" we "may'-. be: pardoned' if. we feel inclined to display a somewhat, inordinate .pride in the achievements .of- our lads, in holdr ing thef. fort and keeping our grand, old flag a flying four-.square.7to' the winds oi heaven, f ; Let us. remember in our recollections down to ^posterity; riot to forget those gallant gentlemen who, when their ,King arid country palled them, responded without a murmur, and shoulder to. shoulder, went. down, the lane into eternal glory." . . )'-;)'- .

Great credit is due the farmers for their steady and untiring work in putting the floor in such good shape and which was done by volunteer work. The new cloak room was .also a great- improvement. Empire Day at Ingram -Bridge Empire Day was, as usual, fittingly celebrated at Ingram Bridge on Monday last when games and'races of all kinds were held. The celebration was held under the auspices of the Women's Institute and a good crowd was present? The day was an ideal one���not too hot and just enough sun to be welcome. A football match was played between Rock Creek and Kettle Valley, the 7 "former team winning by 2 goals. Four innings of baseball were played between teams from/Midway and Greenwood. This game created considerable excitement and amusement. Greenwood won by a score of 8 to 7. V R. A. Brown, of Midway, had a refreshment stand and did a land office business. Altogether the day was an enjoyable one, especially for the children.and the Women's Institute is to be congratulated on holding such an appropriate celebration.

People who use "Red Rose" are usually those who like tea of extra good quality IS g��0< The ORANGE PEKOE is extra good. Try it! Where Co-operation Is Needed Tlie opinion is frequently expressed that Canada suffers from too much -Government, and legislation, and with a Federal Parliament ancl nine Provincial Legislatures for something less than nine million peoplo, there is probably some reason for such an opinion being more or less prevalent, and to support the suggestions periodically advanced in favor of the union of the three Maritime Provinces, into one, ancl tho merging of the Prairie Provinces, thus reducing-the number of Legislatures to, five. But whether such amalgamations aro now feasible is another question, aud,"in view of the fact that ultimately Canada will have a population of many times nine millions, it is ���open to argument whether such combinations would be wise in the long run. Hut that there is room for a much larger measure of cordial co-operation in matters of legislation between the Federal Parliament on the one hauo and the various Provincial Legislatures on the other hand, ancl between the Legislatures of adjoining Provinces, and, in fact, between all Provinces, is ���fhardiy open to serious discussion. The framers of the Act of Confederation did their work exceedingly well, but the B.N.A. Act should not be regarded as the laws of the Modes and Persians, unalterable. Constitutional enactments, however wise in J8I57, are not necessarily suitable a century or even ��� hair a century later. It is proposed to call a conference of Provincial representatives to give ������consideration to suggested-amendments to the B.N.A. Act designed to curb the- arbitrary veto power of the Senate over legislation which meets the approval of the elected representatives of the people in fhe House of Commons along lines somewhat similar to .hose which finally had lo come in Great. Britain in order to .restrict the power of tho House of Lords. There are, how- -ever, other subjects of equal or even greater importance which might well rc- ���ceive attention at such a conference. For example,'not only should the powers of the. Senate come under review, :buf the constitution of Ihai. body if il is lo be continued as au integral part of our legislative machinery. If stands t.o reason that the four rapidly growing Western" Provinces will not be content for all limp, to have their representation in the Senate limited to that of the three small Maritime Provinces, namely, twenty-four Senators for Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Aiberta and British Columbia, and a like number' for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Kdward Island. Certainly if such a" basis of Senate representation is to be maintained much longer, then the nowers of the Senate must bo greatly ..restricted. " Again, while the- 13.N.A. Act. clearly defines the respective spheres of the Dominion Parliament -and .the .Provincial Legislatures in regard to many, subjects, if conl'c-r.yon-hoth-Federal and Provincial liodie'.i legislative.and administrative authority .in. regard,, to; certain other, matters,".wiUV-.l.ho result that ���there is rohsftantf c(��nfiiet;and. eomiit'ual .appeals to the .Imperial Privy.

Making Bank Of England Notes By the Whip-VVomsn Of London Leave Covsnt Garden The whip-women of Covent Garden are going to abandon the precincts of "this .famous. produce market for the same reason tliat the" viliage black-, smith is becoming an automobile salesman. 'The whip-women are among the picturesque denizens that go along with- this most picturesque' market square, and for the last 300 years an unhfrokeh line of members of their 'families have checked tho whips of the produce growers who. frequent this market. This concession of" whip checking, which has supported many families for so long a time, was granted io six ancestors of the present-day whip-women in the sixteenth century when Covent Garden was really a convent garden of the Monks of Westminster outside # which the farmers. brought their garden truck to sell. In that century, half a dozen whip- women took charge of tho whips of the farmers to keep them from tlie hands -of thieves, ; and" collected a penny from the owner at the end of the day. The number, of whip-women has grown to 12 because some women left their share of the concessions to two daughters, but even though i he-price of checking whips is now threepence, the whip-women of today cannot make a living, they say.
