The board members discussed at their meeting-the possibility "of interviewing the members from Yale. Nelson and Trail with a view ol ascertaining if a transprovincial highway route could be developed up the Kettle" river and over the hill to Penticton, but, it was concluded that in view of the amount . of mqney which the provincial gov- , ernment has.already expended on the Anarchist mountain road the better policy would bc merely io ask for a suitable "country", road * ctnnecting tho - mining camps with Penticton.

William'Yolan Williams, 75, pioneer mining engineer and widely known in the Pacific northwest, died in Spokane, Wash., on Sunday, March 24th. He lived in that region for 47 years. Williams came to the Coeur d'Alene in the-early 90's and was superintendent of the, famous Sierra Nevada mine. He was at one time chief engineer of the Granby mine at Phoenix. R. L. Clothier, superintendent of Uie Beaver Silver mine, situated, near Beaverdell, B.C.', stated on Tuesday to the Vancouver Sun that high grade ore is being taken out of the mine now during development and excellent headway is being made on the crosscut which is being driven to the northeast for. the purpose of picking iip - the "Niger" vein-m* Beaver -territory;--.*. - * This vein is narrower than the famous' Bell vein, which carries the big values in the property, but is very high-grade, furnishing a substantial tonnage where it was opened near the Bell vein. The vein has been stripped on the'surface over the Bell boundary line into Beaver ground, and should be encountered "at depth in the crosscut within two weeks at present rate of progress. Mr. Clothier stated that -the outlook at the Beaver Silver is more favorable than ever and that officials expect to place the Beaver in the list of high- grade shippers this spring. To Division ir, Greenwood Superior School, under the very energetic and able management of Miss Ruth Axam goes the credit for the above achievement as the result of the Red Cross" Bazaar held on Saturday last in the Auxiliary Rooms on Copper Street ��� As an example of united 'effort'-on the part of the /'little people" (grades 4, 5, 6, arid 7) the achievement is considered to be without parallel and indicates what can be done. What a tremendous amount could be secured for the Solarium if each Junior Sdhool room in the, Province duplicated this performance. - , Apart from the monetary success the splendid spirit of unselfishness, shown by all the children is to be highly commended as both during the afternoon's * activities and during the previous days of preparation their enthusiasm never ceased. ,j The Auxiliary rooms were tastefully decorated for the occasion and the Novel booths showed signs of Easter decorations being carried out, in purple and gold with borders flanked with Easter ducks and rabbits. The Home cooking booth was carriea out in red and white and surmounted with a ' large" Red Cross. Candy was sold from a booth trimmed with green and white. The children under Miss Axam's di- , rection took charge of everything���ser-' ving at the booths, waiting upon the tables, washing the dishes and etc��� each one performing his or her task with; unflagging energy. The doll, dressed like, a Red Cross nurse, was drawn for by Mary Madden at the close of the afternoon-and was won by Betty Miller. Master Clark drew the lucky number in the raffle. The sack of flour was won by Mr. Podbielancick of Midway while the box of apples and clock went to Ruth Cox���the tray was won by Mrs. A. J. Morrison.

(Experimental Farms Note) Experimental work during the past few years has drawn particular'attention to the importance of sunlight in the successful brooding and rearing of chicks. It has been definitely shown that unless special supplementary feeds are fed chicks cannot be raised satisfacto-' rily in the absence of sunlight. Since many early hatched chicks, particularly where cold winters are the rule, have not the opportunity of geting-out into the sunlight it is essential to supply some form of substitute for the sun's rays to avoid trouble from leg weakness or rickets. Experimental work carried on at the Poultry Division of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, has definitely shown that in spite of the {complete absence of sunlight, chicks may be kept healthy and make rapid gains if given certain supplementary feeds. Of these, crude cod liver oil is the most eflicient and when fed at a rate 'Of 2 per cent of the mash consumed or about one tablespoonful daily to each fifty chicks, will give complete protection against rickets. Since cod liver oil is easily obtainable it is advisable to feed this material rather than the product known as cod liver meal, since the latter has given rather indifferent results in experiments conducted here. It is just possible that the same uniformity in quality is not available in the case of cod liver meal, and that it therefore is not at the present time at least, ~as dependable, as cod liver oil. Certain physical agencies in the form of ultra-violet ray machines and special glass substitutes will also give the desired eflect. The former method of supplying the sun's rays is at present quite expensive, and in the experimental stage, its practical value not having been definitely determined. Most'glass substitutes are not so durable as common glass and "allow only certain proportion of the sun's rays into the house, and once the chicks can get out into the sunlight, or windows can be opened wide, their usefulness is ended. Cod liver oil is much cheaper and will carry the chicks over until such time as they can reap full benefit of the sun's rays. Teacher: "Make a sentence using the word 'divorced'."

EASTER The season of- Lent is fast coming to a close and with it the Passion week. Had Christianity finished its career at the Cross or at the sealed tomb, our hope would have been very dim and we have been most miserable. Had love ended in failure, confidence and life would have been swallowed up m death. Some strong proud souls might have faced the situation as indeed some of the noblest pagans did, and resolved that come life or come death, victory or defeat, they would stand for the right as they saw it. But to most of us, such a stand were'impossible. And God met the common need as He provided for every common need. Thru Faith of Easter tells, us that Life is the great reality and that God's strength may be ,made perfect in our weakness. Willis Judd, who figured in the Greenwood Liquor Store robbery last August and' who was serving a term in the Nelson Jail, was paroled recently and was deported to the States. For the past six months he has been in the hospital in Nelson and this probably Explains the object of his being paroled.

A FIRE YEAR PLANT PROTECTORS FOR EARLY VEGETABLES (Experimental Farm Notes) much to recommend them as seed potato disinfectants. They are being improved each year and it is expected that their use will render seed treatment less troublesome. The corrosive sublimate method consists in soaking the seed potatoes IVj hours in a solution composed of 4 ounces of corrosive sublimate in 25 gallons of water! One-half an ounce of the chemical is added after each treatment of 1VX hours. Investigations extending over a period of four years at the Dominion Laboratory of, Plant Pathology, Charlqttetown, have demonstrated that the solution is ineffective after the third soak. .The extra half ounce added after this7period is wasted and would be profitably used in preparing a new solution. Furthermore, it has been learned that the strengh of the solution weakens 7 rapidly in the presence of broken tubers and potato juice. Therefore, this, source of trouble is to be avoided if success is expected. General precautions include.. the following (1) Dissolve, the corrosive sublimate in not less than one gallon of very hot water. (2) Treat only tubers free from dirt. Throwing water on the pile will help to avoid this difficulty. , (3) Use two clean casks after each treatment. (4) Prepare new solutions after three treatments. (5) Do not treat in bags." (6X Use soft water if possible. Hard water weakens the solution. (7) Put treated seed in a clean place to dry quickly. Do not leave them iri the basement. (8) If the weather does not permit rapid drying throw several pails of water ori the treated tubers. MINERAL ACT Certificate of Imprdvcmcnts NOTICE PROVIDENCE .

I "Dinna wait up any longer for me,, lass," he said, "it looks like a dead.-, lock." - Early spring weather can play some mean tricks upon the vegetable gardener. Several warm sunny days may tempt him to set out tender varieties. Then a sharp frost may destroy them. To take advantage of these warm days of early growth various types of protectors- have been manufactured by means of which the grower may carry his plants through a cold snap. When the grower is producing* commercial quantities for market the cost of such protection must be given very careful consideration. Wh"en the increased returns from early produce obtained by the use of parotectors does not exceed the cost of such protection'their use is not economical. If, however, the grower is producing vegetables for his own table and is anxious to secure certain varieties as early as possible, cost is not a limiting factor, and plant protectors may give good satisfaction. At the Dominion Experimental Station, Summerland, B.C. plant protectors have beeen tested for three years, in growing cantaloupes. Glassine, Hotkaps, Wee Hothouses and Thermo- gen have been tried. Glassine is a transparent paper made by the sulphuric acid process. It is supplied in sheets 16 by 18 inches. The seeds or plants are set. A piece of wire 24 inches long is arched oyer-the hill like a croquet arch. A sheet of Glassine is placed on the wire and-the edges covered with soil to hold in place, Hot- kapu is the copyright trade name for an opaque paper cap with a flaring edge. -These are packed in rolls of 1000. A metal setter is suplied. These may be set very rapidly. A cap is placed in the setter which is then placed over the hill. Soil is drawn around its' edge. The setter is withdrawn leaving the Kap firmly set. Wee Hothouses are paraphin paper caps with a small ope- "ning'in the top and a basal diameter of 5 to 6 inches. Having no flaring edge these blow' away easily in high winds. Thermogen is a heavy perforated paper with anasphalt base. -It comes in rolls of 18 inches or 36 inches wide, containing 200 or 400 square feet, A strip is unrolled, the edges covered With soil and seeds or plants set through slits in the Thermogen. It is similiar to the protection used by pine apple growers in Hawaii to keep down weeds. At prevailing prices the cost Was found to be prohibitive for commercial growers of cantaloupes. Considerable difficulty in irrigation practice was experienced with Thermogen When the furrow system was used. Ir ligation by menas of sprinklers might overcome this difficulty. Plant protectors have been known to carry cucumbers safely through a frost of 10 degrees in this district but some losses occurred with a frost" of 12 degrees. Plant protectors have been- successfully used commercially in this district. POTATO SEED TREATMENT QUESTIONS ANSWERED In preparing for the spring activi ties in connection with treatment of seed potatoes, it is well to review some of the questions which were unanswered in the rush of affairs last year, leaving doubt and coufusion as to the method used and its effectiveness. Authorities agree-that seed treatment is beneficial and while this operation is occasionally overlooked, the satisfactory experience of a few in' so doing must not be eccepted as a guide to the majority. It Is Advisable, Therefore, To Treat Your Seed Potatoes., In treating seed potatoes we have any'of the three chemicals from which to select-for this purpose, namely, hot formain," organic mercury, compounds, and corrosive sublimate. "The first riamed l gives excellent satisfaction, when used at the rate of 1 pint of commercial formalin to 12 % gallons of water. The tubers are dipped iri this solution for two minutes when the temperature is held- at 118-124* degrees F. This is a convenient method where large quantities of potatoes are to be treated. An accurate dairy thermometer is essential. It is often convenient to haul the potatoes Ho a nearby creamery where steam is available to keep the temperature even. - Organic mercury compounds have Nicely Put Chairman at village concert: "Miss Macintosh will now favour us with Ae 'Fond Kiss.'" �� wvvwwwvvwvwvvrv^rvwvvvvwwwwwvjrvvwwww' The Consolidated Mining. & Smelting Co. of Canada.

Refined copper prices reached a new postwar peak, in New York on March 22nd when thc metal sold for 24 cents a pound, domestic, an advance of 1 cent a pound, after consumers had bought practically all of the metal offered at 23 cents. ,The previous.postwar record for domestic" copper was 23 xh cents, attained in 1919. Copper for export was quoted at 23 Ya cents a pound, but it was expected to climb in line with the domestic quotations.
