Judge Barker will hold County Court in Alberni on Tuesday, April 19. Mike King, of Victoria, was a visitor in Port Alberni yerterday. That Cameron Lake, with its magnificent stretches of timber land, unsullied wilderness and beauty should be set aside now, before it is too late, as a forest reservation and a game preserve, has been the opinion of the members of the Vancouver Island Development league for some time. Now the league has the Victoria Natural History society backing it in the project and influential members of both bodies will use every effort to have the government make the desired provision, says the Victoria Colonist. The decision of the Natural History society was taken at the last meeting of that organization when a resolution was passed, a copy of which was sent to Lt.-Col. Prior by Secretary J. R. Anderson. The former handed the resolution over to Secretary Ernest McGaffey of the league, who has always been a strong advocate of the scheme. Mr. McGaffey had several copies of the resolution struck off and these will be forwarded to all branches of the league with a request for en- dorsation. Then, it is likely, the proposal will be laid before the government. "This matter," said Mr. McGaffey, "is one in which the league is vitally interested and it is probable that it will be discussed at the big meeting in Alberni in July. It is hoped that the government may be induced to set this reserve aside as a monument to the natural resources of this great island, to stand when the forests of today are denuded."

V. & E. Railroad will also secure entrance into Merritt, so as to get into contact with the vast coal fields in the district. The line now runs through a point about 20 miles south, and it is said that J. J. Hill will make a try for the coal fields. LOST—Two weeks ago, grey colt with white face; 2 years old; had halter on.

C, April 9, 1910 WATCH THIS CANADIAN. The most interesting happening in Canadian newspaper business for some time past was the passing of the Vancouver News-Advertiser into the control of J. S. H. Matson, managing- director of the Victoria Colonist. It was all done without advance notice, and the plain announcement of the deal having been made was a remarkable surprise. This is not ihe first lime Mr. Matson has surprised the public; neither is it likely to be the last. The quiet and certain manner in which he placed himself in control of the Colonist made many wise people sit up, rub their eyes, and guess at things they couldn't understand. Then when he was seen to be changing a business failure into business success, and developing an easy-going old newspaper into a large and powerfully influential journal that soon began to show it was drawing a large share of the world's attention profitably towards Victoria in particular and Vancouver Island in general, some of them were disappointed. Mr. Matson has ideals as well as ambitions in a business way. He is a Canadian, loyal and patriotic. He is able to t"ace his Canadianism back for four generations to the sturdy pioneers of the days when the foundations of this Great Dominion were being roughly but solidly laid. He is an Imperialist and his imperialism is inbred. When J. S. H. Matson puts his directing hand at the helm of the News- Advertiser its course will be progress, and it will be worth watching. Mr. Matson has no use for any but first j ., ,, place when he enters a race. He will do things in Vancouver --things that will add to its credit in enterprise. port which read, in part, as follows: Dear Parishioners: It is customary in most parishes in Canada for the rector or incumbent to give at the easter vestry meeting a resume of the year's work as it appertains to him. The parish register shows for the past ecclesiastical year one marriage, six baptisms, one burial and seven candidates confirmed. Regular morning and evening services have been held in All Saints church on Sundays with afternoon services every other week at Port Alberni. I During Lent mid-week services were held in All Saints with a morning and an illustrated evening service on Good Friday. During the year the Holy Communion has been celebrated on the first Sunday of every month at the 11 a. m. service; also to my incumbency once a month at 8 a. m. I did not think it advisable, at least during the winter months, to continue the early celebration. The Lenten services, with those of Good Friday, were, for the most part, well attended. The Good Friday offering for Jewish missions was up to, if not above, the average. The Easter day services were well attended, the number of communicants being the greatest recorded, save once, in the history of the parish. The Easter offertory which, by a canon of the synod, is a gift from the congregation to the incumbent, I gratefully acknowledge. The Lenten self- denial offering for the D. M. S. is very gratifying surpassing the amount received in any previous year, but in this cause we cannot be too enthusiastic. Our Sunday School is composed of ten scholars, more or less, according to and two lady teachers lovely Easter flowers. They also carry the burden of the interest on the vicarage debt. Our parish hall was placed at the I disposal of the Men's Club for the winter months but, being very little used, we think it best to terminate the arrangement at least for this season. The Rev. F. H. Wimberley B. D., my predecessor, resigned this charge in December and within a month left to enter upon the curacy of St. Alban's, Ottawa, Ontario. The Bishop of the diocese placed me in temporary charge and I entered upon my duties on Jan. 23. Since then I have visited considerable around this neighborhood and have tried to interest my fellow men in things pertaining to my calling. With regard to our church services I have been not a little encouraged with the members that have attended Holy Communion as well as the increased attendance at the regular morning and especially the evening services. For lack of opportunity, rather than desire, I have not done justice in visiting my Port Alberni parishioners. We hope soon to see the church ready for services especially for the services of Mr. Bird's Sunday School which he so faithfully has taught and kept together. Parishoners, we are approaching a psychological moment if indeed it is not on us at the present time. We cannot afford to loose our opportunity to sow our faith according to the order of the Church of England broad and deep.

April 9. 1910 ALBERNI PIONEER NEWS Page 4 Obedience Results In Triple Tragedy Siberian newspapers recently received in St. Petersburg tell of the following incident which happened in the town of Bodaibe: A peasant's wife was going to market and left her baby in charge of a three-year old brother. "See that he doesn't cry," said the mother as she went out. "But if he does?" "Ah, cut his tongue out, the mother carelessly. When she came back sh.> asked the little boy: "Did baby cry much?" "He tried to once," was the reply. "And what did you do?" "I cut his tongue out as you said, mother." Then he stopped. The frightened mother ran inside and saw, to her horror, that her criminal injunction had been carried out. In a fit of rage the mother seized the boy who had obeyed her and threw him against a wall. Then when she saw that his skull was fractured she hanged herself. replied miral, "when do you think the dead Chinaman will come up to eat the food ; you leave on his grave?" "Allee same time Melican man comes up to smellee flowers you leave on his grave," answered Chow urbanely. F. Hopkinson Smith is an enthusias- j tic sportsman- when he is sitting on j the sidelines or in the bleachers. Not I long since, at the conclusion of a reading from his own works, one of the young women who was presented to j him sought to inquire into his passion I for sport. "Mr. Smith," she asked, what is ' your favorite game?" I "That," replied the novelist, "depends upon the season." 'Of course," assented the young I woman, "but though you may like football in the autumn and baseball in the summer, you must have some general preferance. Isn't there one game that you like best?" "Well, yes," replied Mr. Smith reflectively, "I think that, all things considered, my favorite game is canvas- back, just a trifle high." Call and See Our Prof. Frederick Starr, the distinguished anthropologist, was recently discussing the Roosevelt hunting trip. "Mr. Roosevelt," he said, "will encounter very great dangers in the jungle. I don't mean the wild beasts; I mean the fevers. Mr. Roosevelt's is not the tempermant to resist these dangers, either. He is a heady, rushing temperamaot; but the sort of tempera- 'ment that keeps otf jungle fever is like that of a London cabby that once drove for me. "I had boarded a four-whepler in Piccadilly, and I directed the driver to take me to Claridge's. He drove at a snail's pace. Exasperated—for I was already late for luncheon—I finally put out my head and shouted. ' "Look here, cabby, we're not going to a funeral!' " Blouse Lengths and Notions.

PRISONER TELLS COURT BEAR AND WOLF STORY Joseph Bnssolotti Runs Foul of the Law and Tries an Ingenious Explanation Before the Magistrate. Joseph Bussolotti could not have heard of the day when a wild bear from the woods invaded the town that is now named Port Alberni, and. by its impertinent inquisitivness, rudely shocked the manager of a highly first- class tourist hotel and caused general excitement among the quiet living citizens. If he had known anything of the incident he might have strengthened his defence by citing it in the police court on Monday morning when he was charged with having been in possession of concealed weapons, but he never mentioned it. Bussolotti hails from Sunny Italy. He is engaged on rock blasting work on the railway line in this vicinity. He was making a call on the Indian reserve last Saturday night, and had a large bottle of whisky with him when his presence within the prohibition limits was challenged by Charlie Ross, an Indian constable. Bussolotti responded to the challenge by throwing away the parcel of liquor and commencing to run. He was speedily overtaken and escorted to jail. The whisky « recovered by the officer after a rul search in the dark. While going through the prisoner's clothes, in the lock-up, Chief of Police Cox found a loaded, 38-calibre, five- shooter in his hip pocket. On Monday morning Bussolotti appeared before Magistrate Rayson on two charges, one of having been on an Indian reserve with intoxicating liquor in his possession, and another of having carried a concealed weapon. When Constable Ross had told his story to the court the accused was asked what he had to say for himself in answer to the first charge. He said he did not know he was on an Indian reserve; that he was endeavoring to find a short cut to a railway construction camp. "If you did not know you were doing anything wrong, why did you throw the whisky away when the constable spoke to you?" asked the magistrate. "I thought he was going to steal from me and I wanted to run," was the ready answer. As plausible as the excuse might seem to be the court refused to accept it, and, assuming that the prisoner had gone to the reserve with intent, gave a little valuable advice on the error of carrying temptation to the Indians which was listened to with marked interest by a few of the large audience. "Throwing the whisky away when and what the law demanded of him which was about half the amount. The country schoolteacher had been telling her scholars about the seasons and there peculiarities, and to impress their minds with the facts, she questioned them upon the points she had given. Several queries had been put, and finanally she reached the stupid boy in the corner. "Well, Johnny," she said, "have you been paying attention?" "Yes'm," he answered promptly. "I'm glad to hear it. Now, can you tell me what there is in the spring?" "Yes'm, I can, but I don't want to." "Oh yes you do. Don't be afraid. You have heard the others. Be a good boy now, and tell us what there is in the spring." "W'y—w'y—mum, there's a frog an' a lizard an' a dead cat in it, but I didn't put 'em there. It was another boy, for I seen him do it." you were caught seems to make your offence worse," said the magistrate. "If the officer had not been able to find it the people for whom you in tended it might have got it. You are fined $30 and costs, with the alternative of serving sixty days in jail, and if you come before me again on a charge like this you will not get off so easily." The second charge was then read, and the chief of police produced for the inspection of the court the loaded weapon that had been found on the prisoner. "Was it loaded like that when you took it away from him?" asked the magistrate. "Just like that, and I have reason to believe that the prisoner loaded it just before going onto the reserve. "These shells," said the chief, producing four empty cartridges, "were found on the road close by, and they are the same make and size as those in the revolver." Bussolotti admitted that he had been in the habit of carrying the revolver about with him. The reason, he said, was that he was afraid of bears and wolves on the road. "That is a very poor story," said the magistrate, "and I do not believe it. There are no bears and wolves running around the streets or roads in this neighborhood, and you could not be carrying that weapon for any good reason. I want you to understand that there is no need for that in this country, and it will not be tolerated. You are fined $15 and costs on this charge, with the option of going to jail for thirty days." "Court is adjourned sine die." announced the chief. Bussolotti moved out of the prisoner's dock and was about to join some friends on the public side of the court rail, and have a little talk with them on finance, when the magistrate, who was in the act of leaving the room, turned to the chief and said: "See that I he is kept in custody until the fines are paid." The bewildered Bussolotti, who did not understand quite enough about the English language to gather a clear idea of what the court had done to him, was taken into the police office to negotiate a settlement. When assured that if he would hand over a total of $53 in cash there would be no use for him in the jail that had been spoken about, he heaved a sigh of relief.
