The Finance committee submitted a lengthy report which showed; conditions to be slightly improved'over the corresponding period Qf 1926.': .Figures and estimates which had been carefully gone over by the Trustee were returned by him ��� as being satisfactory and the report was approved by the Council. An enquiry re 1927 assessment from a taxpayer was turned over to the City Clerk for reply, the Council having no authority to make the alteration- requested. Completion of payments for purchase of the lighting system was announced, and the work on changing the lines to a more, up-to-date and economical distribution was reported to be proceeding satisfactorily under the supervision of Mr.' Legault, although with the extreme change in weather conditions it will be a considerable time before completion,can be made.

Planning a Christmas Concert and Tree Since there is no evidence of any Community Christmas Tree being Jield in Greenwood, it has been suggested that the usual School Christmas Tree and Concert be held in the Greenwood Theatre and enlarged to include all the children of the town. The school children could supply a great deal of thc program and with other help a > good Concert might be arranged. It would not seem like Christmas to the" children, however, without some kind of tree and presents, which could be supplied only through the co-operation of all parents and others in the town. It is the purpose now to find but how many will help with this undertaking and no arrangements can be made until this is known. Will those having any ideas on an affair of this kind please communicate .with the teachers or the editor of The Greenwood Ledge. It is hoped that the public will interest themselves in this worthy cause and assist materially in putting some such plan as the above into execution.

'Mrs.;'C..;W. iBubar is, progressing favourably-' after her operation! Miss Kathryn Ulmar, ��� expert anaesthetist, came specially fronK Spokane to give Nitrous Oxid jmd Oxygen Anaesthesia to Mrs Bubar. This form of Anaesthesia is used extensively at the present time, because of its safety, particularly for aged persons, and because of the quick and pleasant recovery from the Anaesthesia. Sincere regret was expressed when it became known that James ..Clark had passed away in Trail at 11 p.m. on November ,14th, following ,an operation of several weeks ago for a complication of ailments. . The late Mr. Clark was" b'orn in Ingersoll, Ontario, 62 years ago. He .can>e West^in 1896 in company, with his brother-in-law,'' Noble" Binns,v ahd engagedin business in Trail. Later he moved to Greenwood where he joined the staff of T. M. Gulley & Co. , A few years ago he returned to Trail and again entered business. .Mr, Clark was a member of the knights of Pythias Lodge and, was an indefatigable worker in Pythianism. He is survived by two brothers, George M. Clark, of Nelson, and Wm. Clark of Ymir; three sisters, Mrs Noble Binns of Trail, Mrs Lundie and Miss Jessie Clark of Sooke. .The sympathy of all goes out to them in their great loss. "Jim" as he was favorably known ^as^^pular_pld-timer_of .Greenwood and he will be greatly missed by all who have, in the past, had the opportunity to call on him in Trail. The funeral will be held in Trail this afternoon. Unique and peculiarly .noteworthy were the Armistice ceremonies Friday afternoon at the .cenotaph in Phoenix, that once active mining camp which played a mighty part in men and money in the Great War, but-which is now deserted, desolate and almost snowbound. The only thing in the former hive of mining activity which happily bears no semblance of decay is the shaft which bears the names of those who went from Phoenix and died on the field of honor. . The cenotaph is of massive marble, and was erected by thoughtful citizens on a rock where it overlooks the mining camp. To this shrine a dozen friends from Grand Forks wended then- way Friday afternoon through a blinding snowstorm, and acknowledged profound gratitude to those from this isolated corner who laid down their0 lives in war's grimmest struggle. Mayor Love, a former resident of Phoenix, paid tribute to those whom-he had known so well, many'of whom he had signed for active service. A wreath and flags were placed at the base by Mrs. Eureby. The names of the fallen were read by City Clerk John Hutton. Rev.' W. T. Beattie gave McCrae's "In Flanders Fields." Mrs. C. .M.Kingston, who had been head of the Daughters ��� of the Empire during.- the war years, gave expression to the hope that the time would not come when the courage of such men would cease. ��� to liver Rev.'-Philip Haynian read-the-' King's prayer. "God Save the King"' was sung, and the "Last Post" was . sounded by William Eureby, who was bugler in the battalion 'with many of ' the Phoenix soldiers.

THE GREENWOOD LEDGE Over 30 years the same good tea. Now packed in RED ROSE ORANGE PEKOE is extra good. anufacturmg In The AVest Tlie general impression of tho prairie provinces of Canada lic-kl throughout-, tho Eastern provinces and in other countries is that they are almost purely agricultural, and that manufacturing is practically negligible and, whero carried-on, is ou a small scale and local in character. No doubt many Western people if asked for information on tlio subject would express much the samo opinion. Nor would such a view have been very wide of the mark ���"a comparatively few years ago. ' Within recent years, however, a marked" change has taken place, and manufacturing along many linos is uow an important feature of Western activity. Not only ia this the case but development along industrial lines ls proceeding at a pace which is a surprise to people who take the trouble to investigate. Thc, extent and rapidity of this growth is. only realized -when actual oflicial statistics are studied and comparisons mado from year to year. The gathering and compilation of statistics of this kind ia. slow and laborious work, and- considerable time must of necessity elapse before all' returns from many industries are obtained and classified. Latest available figures, therefore, are always for a period o'f one or two years back. Recently! the Dominion Bureau of Statistics issued a report on the manufacturing industries of the prairie provinces for the calendar year 1925, comparing them with the figures for 192-1. The growth indicated in this twelve month period is quite remarkable and most encouraging. Por thc year 1025 the number of manufacturing industries reporting was. practically the same as'for 1924, but the gratifying fact is disclosed that these industries substantially increased their capital, employed many more workers, largely increased their wage bills, utilized larger quantities of materials, produced many more millions of dollars worth of goods of all kinds, and operated on a much more profitable basis. Capital invested in manufacturing industries in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta increased''.by $14,000,000 during 1925, ancl at the end, of that year amounted to'?221,775,000. ' The number of employees increased by over G.000 during the yoar with thc result that no less than 27,173 peoplo are now, engaged in some form of manufacturing industry on tlie prairies. To these 27,178 people salaries, and wages were paid aggregating .$-12,827,000,'or nearly eight million dollars more thau In. the preceding year. W Materials uscd by Uie* soveral��industrics.'during-1925 had. a value of $141,892,000, or an increase of over $21,500,000 over the preceding year. Through tho application of labor and the uso of these materials, goods having a gross value: of $239,352,000 were produced, or an increase of 835,541,- 000 over 1S24. In other words, tho prairie provinces in-1925 turned'out"on' thc average, twenty million dollars worth of manufactured goods per month, or three million dollars per month moro than in the preceding year. The net valuoof 1925 production was $97,459,000, or $14,000,000 greater than in 1924. *;��� Analysizing these figures to some extent, it will be seen that 'manufacturing industry in the west, after paying $21,500,000 more for .���.materials;, and $8,000,000 moro in salaries.and wages, increased the net valuoof production in the ono yoar by an amount equal to tho total increase, in tho amount of capital invested. Certainly a most encouraging showing. Those who aro familiar with western conditions, and tho .-decided improvement which has taken place within thc last two years, -know that the growth in western Industry disclosed'by these figures ���between 1924 and :1925; has becn further accelerated between 1925 and 1927. Recent...water power and. other developments iu-all three prairie provinces, and the decided increase in- intcrest both at homo and abroad, in the natural resources of the West, gives., confidence that in a few years more the industrial activities of tho prairies will bo. a factor of importance in the economic life of the whole Dominion. New Terror For.

Carrier Pigeon Valuable In War Is Still Considered Important Factor Despite; Changing Methods Chauging methods of warfare aro continually passing in review before the United States war department. One very old-fashioned means of wartime communications,- the carrier pigeon, continues to bo a -considered factor. "Its usefulness" .as' a carrier of despatches," says Frederick C. Lincoln of tho United Slates biological survey, ensures it-a prominent place among communication methods that will be employed by the armies of iho future. "Although limited to one way communication the birds used in the world war* made, a record of efficiency between 97 and 9S per cent., surpassing all other methods for tho transmission of any army information under battle conditions. "The most famous war pigeon was Cher Ami, which, released with, a message October-21, 1918, at 2.35 p.m., during, an Intense machine-gun and artillery action, delivered its messages 40 kilometres away in 25 minutes. One leg;,had been shattered and the bird's breast pierced by a bullet. Wilis' bird is now mounted and preserved in tho national museum."

Queer Tribe Of Africa Bailas Have Custom Of Knocking Out Their Front Teeth Yet another African'-tribe wliich is interesting because of its peculiar customs is in the public eye. This is the Baila tribe. The Baila gave considerable trouble before they camo under British administration. _. In 1888 Sclous, tho fcimous hunter-explorer, had difficulties with them, and tho story goes that he escaped to a more friendly tribe clad only in his shirt. Though the custom is .beginning to die out it is a very ancient fashion of the Baila to knock out all their front teeth. For this reason Baila language presents unique phonetic peculiarities. Tlie hair of the men of the tribe is always worked up into a cone about six inches high at the back of the head, and then studded with brass- headed nails. Sometimes this is extended'by a stick to the length of four feet. To' safeguard the child from damage that worms cause, use Miller's Worm Powders, tho medicino par excellence for children.

This is the hope of Prof. William H. I-Iobbs, head of the .University of Michigan scientific expedition who started for home aboard the Leviathan today after ten weeks studying tho northern storms at the place of their bo- ginning over the great ice gap of interior Greenland. ��� ' . ��� ���' The expedition spent tho , summer at Kangdenlugssdakfjord, within tho Arctic circle. - "It is probably the longest fjord in- the world and affords wonderful scenery on a majestic scale which has been seen .by few white men," said Professor Hobbs. The -Hobbs expedition established three observation stations 100 miles apart, one of- them being on tho summit of Mount Evans. From the observations made;at these' stations it is planned to radio forecasts of coming storms over the north Atlantic 48 hours in advance of the storm arrival over the ocean lanes. Selected members of the University of Michigan's expedition will winter in Greenland and will send out observation balloons with small lanterns for meteorological study. Two members of the party will spend tho winter in a snow cave. on the island ice for the purpose of making observations. Stakes have been placed and measurements taken for the study of glacier movements. There is no poisonous Ingredient in Ilolloway's Corn Remover; and it can be used without danger or injury.
