'This /also makes the home boys; eligible to meet the champions of West -" Kootenay.- * , -��� Great disappointment prevailed araong^local hockey*enthusiasts when it was made known that the Forks boys were not coming over. ��� The locals were very keen on playing and were in good condition for the- contest. Tha ice was in good shape, the skaters having beetf^ept off for two evenings previous to hold the ice for the game. The special train the Forks team was coming over on . was cancelled by the railway company^ but, _even at that the general opinion "here is that the Forks boys should have' come over1*4 in cars.' The local club is financially the. looser as they figured on clearing $100. The Ladies Aid are loosers too as they had prepared for a large number for supper. Those who arrived at the rink were treated to an exhibition h'ockey match, between two local teams, after which ��� the crowed went to Masonic Hall.- where a dance was held and everyone had aYe��il nice time. , Music was supplied by Mrs. Ritchie.

The following is the Grand Forks Gazette's version' of the play: "The Greenwood hockey boys got a tight grip on the Boundary cup and Intermediate championship in the game last night, when they grabbed a lead of two goals in the play-off for league' honors and the silverware. The game was about the best exhibition of hockey dished up to fans-this-season-^and���kept^'they:��� crowd continually on their toes. Despite the soft ice the game was fought at a fast pace, both sides contesting evehry inch of the way. In the first period Greenwood took a lead of two goals, scored through Morrison and Hallett.' In the second Grand Forks were all over the visitors and kept the -puck hovering ' around the Greenwood goal continually, but fine defensive work kept them out. Towardsthe end of the period Pennoyer opened " their account with a good shot from right wing. In the last stanza tbe'home brews tried their . best to g&t - on even turns, but Greenwood placed three men on the blue-line, and with exceptional goal tending on the part of Royce, all efforts were turned aside. Greenwood added another to .their total towards the end when Morrison seized the puck in front' of the Forks goal and slainmed it in the hemp for his - .second counter^ The visitors be- ' ing victors by a score of 3 to 1. Ss=- The Grand Forks players gave a good account of themselves and had the edge-in attack, but the breaks seemed to go -against them. Docksteader in goal improves in'every game. He made a thrilling save from Carlson when the .lattec had got clean through. Taylor was back in the Grenwood line-up and added confidence to the team. They "all ��� played well, back-checking being their specialty." - ' Falling 40 feet from a halcony oa the four floor of an apartment building in Montreal on Feb. 7, Charles F.

Tho object of sailing from this port, it was stated, was to inspect tho local harbor and its lacilities for handling grain. Mr. Smith, commenting on "Western and Eastern Canada's policy as regard's grain^routiug, said if Halifax expected to"compete successfully with other grain exporting 'ports, its facilities must be on a par with its competitors' acilities. Thc Canadian Wheat Pool, he said, desired to make use of Canadian ports as much as' possible, but hc pointed out tliat grain must bc shipped via.""tlio cheapest route. If Halifax wanted to handle Western Canada's grain traffic, Halifax must -be able to offer as cheap rates as other competing ports, for western shippers did not contemplate making any Sacrifice in favor of Halifax o rany other Canadian port. "They will ship their product only by the cheapest route," said Mr. Smith. ON THg_AIR What Is Doing In the, World oi Radio are broadcasting bad _y features "prisoner" Will Not Attend Celebration.
