THE STATION SUBDIVISION, COURTENAY Some Good Lots At The Station The streets through the Station Subdivision are very shortlv to be made these will run from the Cumberland road close to the E, _ N. Station down to the Union Bay road close to the mill pond. Good large lots, SO x 120 feet can be had at the present time at 1250 each, Comer Lots 53 x 125 for 1300, These prices will be raised shortly. Terms 1-4 cash the balance in 6, 12 a 'd 18 mouths, interest at 7 per cent. As the Union Bay road is fast becoming a favorite residential section of Courtenay, having a cheerful outlook and being the Island Highway, the town is certain to build up rapidly in that direction, consequently there will be a considerable amount of traffic iu the streets up to the station and freight shed from that part of the town, This is a good opportunity for those who wish to start up in business later on, for those who want a good sized residential property close in. There are no other lots in Courtenay the size of these that can be bought at anything like the above prices, The plan of the Subdivision can be seen at any time in my office H. H. M.

Tlu- ball then db..ppoars in Btantaneot'Sly with a violent explosion, which may do damage and which produces a strong smell f_ ozone. Thornton believes with reason that globular lightning is made up print. pally of mass of ozone, This hypothesis explaina why the color ef the ball is usually bluish, why tho luminous mass descends slowl. through the air. ozone being of a 'etisity about '.I times that of air, and finally why the instantaneous disappearance of tht, ball is accompanied by an explosion, for tho .ransl'ormalion of ozone- lute oxygen liberates a great quantity t. energy.

HOW TO TREAT ALL SKINTROUBIE Greasy Ointments No Use���Must Be Cured Through The Blood It. is uot a good thing for people with a tendency to bave pimples aud a blotchy complexion lo smear themselves with greasy ointments. In fact they couldn't do anything worse, because the grease clogs the pores of tho skin, making the disease worse. When there ls an irritating rash a soothing boracic wash may help allay the pain or itching, but of course It doesn't euro tbe trouble. Skin complaints arise from an impure condition of tho blood and will persist until the blood Is put-Hied. Dr, Williams' Pink Pills have cured many cases of eczema and skin diseases because they make new, rich blood that drives out (he impurities, clears the ski'i and imparts a glow of health- The following proof is offered. Mrs. Fred Tremble, OUnler, Out.., says: ��� "For more than a year I was steadily afflicted with salt rheum or eczema. My hands were so sore that I could not put them in water without the skin cracking open. I tried all sorts of ointments recommended for the trouble but they did not do me a particle of good. I was told Dr. Williams' Pink Pills would cure the trouble, and began taking them. I took the Pills steadily for six or eight weeks and they completely cured tho trouble. This was several years ago and I have never been bothered with it since." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at SO cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Urockvllle, Ont.

Discovery of Old 3oat The hull of an old timbered ship, uncovered near Woolwich, convinces antiquarians that the discovery is nothing less than the remains of the famous sixteenth century British warship, the Great Harry. Seymour Lucas, the historical painter, says that two wheels of a gun carriage of the rein of Henry VIII, or early in the reign of Elizabeth, together with stone cannon bails and pieces of Elizabeth- iau pottery, all tak 1 from the hull, all prove the accuracy of the statement and adds that there was a dock built in 1512 in Woolwich, where the Great Harry was probably lying when destroyed. No ship is now in existence earlier than Nelson's flagship, the Victory, recalling to Englishmen Brlttania's early navy, and very probably steps will bo taken to preserve tbe hull as a relic. Thousands Reccmmend "Nerviline" (One of the most soul-dlst? . ''ig accidents that can befall one is .. '"id ankle or wrist sprain. "If I had only known of 'Nerviline' earlier, I could have saved myself an enormous amount of pain and many agonizing nights of sleeplessness." Thus writes p. p.

Two Heading) A well known Parisian antiquary while on bis holidays In Normandy came across an old farm which had a curious carving in tlie form of an armorial bearing over one of the stable doors. Beneath the carving was a wooden bar inscribed with a date. Examining it closely, ho found the latter to be 1081. All his antiquarian passions were aroused, needless to say, and after some bargaining the farmer sold him the carving for quite a nice sum. Tbe next day the farmer brought the trouvaille to the antiquary's villa. This isn't what I bought! exclaimed the purchaser. It bears the date of 1801�� 1 don't want it. Excuso me, sir, replied tbe fanner, it's the same, right enough. But the farmer who recently repaired it replaced the bar upside down, and l thought I ought to put it right for you. Tho antiquary was sporty enough not to go hack on bis bargain but tbe facts of the case do not seem to sneak- highly cf bis antiquarian knowledge. Most Civilized Nation The question 'Which is the most, civilized nation on earth?' Is difficult to answer. Civil'7'itlon is a very classic term and is understood differently in different times and places. I . scie> title attainment, education, wea'th nnd all the things that go alontj with wealth. Great Britain, France and Germany would appear to lead the procession, with some other nations following closely; but taking all things into consideration, eliminating the sole matter of wealth, the most civilized country on eart'. Is probably Norway. In that far northern land tbe ideal civilization that Is. the civilization that rests on common sense and justice���seems to have matured to a greater extent tban it has anywhere else. Peculiar Japanese Rite Segitera temple, in the province of Ise, Japan, is the sieno each July of a peculiar rite dedicated to the worship of Aca'anatha, the faithful servant of Buddha, The rll: is known as a 'soma' fa corruption of Sanskrit 'homa') or 'burning.' Buddha taught that the cause of suffering is d"s're, and therefore the priests of the Shin- gon, a Japanese sect of Buddhism, kindle a fire to consume all human desires, at the same time offering prayers to Acalanatha. In one matter the rite may be said to defeat its own ends for it attracts a crowd of farmers full of desire to obtain embers or ashes from lhe fire which Is Bltpnosed to hnve consumed all desires. The tradition Is that the possession of an ember or ashes from tho sacred fire insures a farmer good crops the next autumn. Tho Montenegrins are a primitive people. In .heir plays the villian is always a Turk, says a traveler. Well, Isn't the Turk nearly always a man with a black mustache.

Yes, it's a vaccination mark, in the old days, when compulsory vaccination lirst .began, we Japs vaccinated every body on the tip of the nose. Why- Well, because it was a good place where there's no movement to rub olf the scab, and also because a vaccina-: tlon scar on tlie nose was easily identified by the medical officers of the I government.

Insects That Walk on Water Insects that walk on the water by means of pneumatic floats are the familiar water and tbe pond skater spider. Not many people know why they can walk on the water. The pond skater really walks on pneumatic floats. There are tiny hairs on the feet of this insect, so fine that they cannot be seen, that aro arranged to collect air. Tlie amount collected in and about these hairs is sufficient to allow the insect to float or walk onj the surface of the water. As each foot is put down it forms a cuplike de- pression or tiny pit in the water. The j foot does not sink because the air bub-| ble that haa been formed is too light to let it. A fine covering of hair protects the water spider, too. and even if It is submerged in tlie water if is never really wet. The hair keeps a layer of air between Us body and the water. It looks like a white pearl when below tho turface. Tho scientific name of tbis curious Insect is tbe Ve. la currens.

Dear Sir:��� The writer under the nom-de-plume of "Local Option" iu your last week's issue favours local option, making B.C. a "dry" province and the abolition of the Bar. Citing the goody goody dry towns in Ontario as an example and guidance for us when, although I do not know whether he is aware of the fact, their population is decreasing and will continue to do so while B.C. aud the othtr Western provinces will continue to increase. In the census for io years eliding 1911 only 7 counties show increases amounting in the aggregate to 10,815, all the other Counties show decreases, and many of the Townships in Counties which have increased their aggregate population show the same decreases. Thirteen of the principal Counties show a decrease of 43.023 spread with surprising uniformity over the whole provinces while at the same time there are townships included in this decrease well adapted to agriculture, The cause of this is not far to seek. I have travelled through a number of these "dry" Ontario Counties and Towns and found them dull and lifeless compared with B. C. and the other Western provinces. No cricket, tenuis, and football which, with education, is the reason of the drinking not being so great as it was 50 years ago. Can therefore, anyone wonder why the young men and women in Ontario are making for the West leaving the old folks at home to do the chores. For Choice Family Groceries Boots and Shoes Dry Goods and Hardware OUR MOTTO One Price to All THE LOWEST It is a matter of great concern with j the Ontario ligislature how to check this depopulation' They say, "why go West when you can do quite as well if not better at home?" "Still they come." Is not the Licensed Bar under the superintendence of the Police infinitely better than no bar at all when "Blind Pigs" step in? Why should not the working man be | allowed to get a drink if he wants one same as the rich using an hotel or a Liquor Lisenced Social Club? Legislation will uever wholly eliminate drunkenness which with some is an incurable disease. I am Yours truly Wm. Idiens Courtenay, Feb. 2 1914.

Sutton & Kirkwood Undertakers and Embalmers Night or Day Calls Promptly Attended Phone 27 Courtenay EARLY DAYS in the Comox Valley (by an old-timer) Population and improvements in the Valley advanced leisurely. In 1887, although all the present bijj farms were then occupied there were only 8 or 10 horses in the District. Oxen wero all the dependence. Outside communication had developed into a small fortnightly steamer from Victoria, and each arrival of this boat was a sort of fair or holiday when the settlers fatemized at Comox Wharf for mail and supplies and to ship their produce. Some shipped to merchants in Victoria and Nanaimo (Vancouver was not even a name then,) but most of them depended on their former neighbour, the travelling trader and commission man, John Wilson, who had charge of many a fat hog aud steer and ton of potatoes. And every one just had to take what-he could get. One man offered a ton of first class potatoes for a barrel of flour, and could not make the deal. In meat, bacon was the mainstay in those days, although beef was plentiful at 6 or 7cts per pound. But it was walking around, and there was no butcher, and what could one family do with a whole carcass? It was a great accommodation when iu 1882, George Howe, now of Hornby 1-iland, opened a small butcher store at Gomox. Later he moved to Cumberland, and then to Union Bav, where he founded the business now carried on by Fraser & Bishop. Comox butter was a negligible article in those days. There were too many bachelors and toojfew Jerseys and neither separators nor cream erv Oue Victoria grocer who got a consignment reported that if it had not been salted he might have used it for axelgrease, but as it was he could do nothing with it at all The first great event in the hist ory of the Valley was the opening of the Union or Cumberland mines in 1888. This furnished a home market and brought the producer and consumer together. Outsid communication changed from a fortnightly to a weekly steamer, but Comox Bay became gradually sidetracked, as the mines absorbed more and more of the produce of the Valley. Sandwick Post Office was established at this time, doing away with (he necessity of mail- trips to the Bay. We mentioned before that the Courtenay Sawmill was bought by Messrs William and Harold Urquhart in 1884. Early in 1885 William was drowned while handling logs in a freshet near Courtenay bridge, an occurrence which cast a remarkable gloom over the whole District, as he was universally liked Another brother, John, came up from New Zealand, and he along with Harold, carried on the mill business for about 20 years, changing from water to steam power. They then moved to Vancouver, and sold the mill to Bryden & Kilpatrick. The growth of Courtenay was slow. John Grant built the Riverside Hotel, and about 1890 Mr. McPhee moved his business up from Comox. A few dwellings went up along Union .Street, the owners of which made a very precarious living by road work. An old journalist named Whitney, from the States, put up what is now the Willard building, and issued the first paper in the District, the "News." He also got a post office established in his building- A year or two later he transferred himself and his paper to Cumberland. Meanwhile the other side of the river had begun i to look up. Mr. William Lewis who had brought out Charles Green in 1877, sold a few lots. Mr. McKenzie, and later Mr. Leighton, started their blacksmith shops, and I the Courtenay Hotel was built by I Robert Graham. Times however were dull, and it fell into the hands of Mr. Lewis, who then began his practice of building houses for tenants. For many years it scarcely paid him, but now he is making j up for past losses. I The second milestone in the j Valley's progress was the starting : of the Co-Operative Creamery in ' (902.

Hilton, who were staying in Sandwick last summer during Mr. Hilton's charge of the English church services at Sandwick and Comox, are now in Victoria; Mr. Hiltou is giving assistance in Victoria. The religious census recently taken in Victoria gives the following figures which your correspondent has obtained from an author- itive source:��� Anglicans 18,000, Presbyterians, n.ooo, Wesleyans, 10,000, Roman Catholics, 5,000, Baptists, 3,000, Congregationahsts, 1,200, Various, 4,000. Comox butter continues to be popular in the city, and of course tastes as only Comox butter can and should; in spite of the attempt to boom New Zealand butter at 35 cents a pound, your correspondent remains true to the home product at 45 cents. Great distress is being felt among the casual laborers in the city, more especially at Esquimault, owing to lack of employment At the same time, Chinese, Japanese and Hindoos peddle wood.fish.and vegetables to good effect. In this connection a Hindoo was heard to complain, that being bad times, he could only make six dollars a day. The white man evidently cannot adapt himself to such callings, more's the pity. President Calhoun and Host Fechner were in Victoria this week for the Conservative Convention. Two slight falls of snow were experienced in the city on the 34th and a5th of Jan. Strange to say no effort was made to keep the sidewalks clear, the resulting slush being extremely un-citylike and doubtless causing much loss to the storekeepers. "One of the Exiles." The Courtenay Literary and Debating Society met on Monday night and held a very interesting meeting. Various subjects were discussed for the next four weeks, and it was decided to take up next Monday n'ghts subject only and learn the rest to be chosen at the next meeting, In the 9th inst the society will discuss the ments or dements of Christian Science and investigate its claims.

Ho acted with great coolness and Murage, helping to extricate the wounded and then scrambling back to rescue the manuscript, of 'Our Mutual Friend.'

His campaign for a local government board for Saskatchewan has spread to the neighboring province. and Is meeting wllh great favor bo- causo the discussion regarding a provincial supervision of securities arises 'from the desire of Canadian munl- Iclpalltlos to borrow cheaply in tho London market. New Zealand's Industry. A curious and at one time _t- tremely profitable and Important Industry In New Zealand Ib that of Kauri gum digging. Kauri gum, whlcb ls the fossilized reBln of the kauri pine, ls found only In the extreme north of tho North Island, and for the manufacture of high- class varnish has no equal, with the exception perhaps of Zanzibar gum, which ls, however, much dearer. It forms one ot the greatest assets cf the Aukland Province. The equipment of the digger consists of a thin, long spear, one or two heavy ���pades, and a scraping knife. The (um is usually found on poor land, and the theory Is that the giant trees that yielded it have so exhausted tbe land tbat now nothing but tea-tree, or "manuka," as it is called in the Dominion, will grow on it. Until about twenty-Ovo years ago the gum was entirely produced by British labor, and to some small extent by Maoris. Then a number of Austrlans made their appearance, Iind are now there ln such numbers that tt ls safe to say 75 per cent, ot all the gum produced ls tbe result of their labors. A new batch of Austrlans has recently arrived from the Continent. Weathermen Shocked. The weather Bhan.i of the world ���re all upset over a storm that swept over the Island ot Reunion tn March, Whlcb violated the Indian Ocean storm regulations. The cyclones have been watched tor fifteen years and have always been perfectly reliable. They form luuth of the equator, travel southwest until off the coast of Madagascar, and then turn southeast. They are ln the form of gigantic whirlwinds, with a spot of dead calm ln the centre. But tbls particular Insurgent storm upset all tbeorlcs by appearing to tbe southeast of Reunion, going northwest over tbat Island and then passing off toward tho northeast���going directly opposite to regulations.

To those who prefer less strenuous forms of recreation, sailing is a favorite pastime, and the turtle, shark, and multi-colored lish that Inhabit the tepid wnters outside the harbor afford a never-ending source of entertainment, Tho commercial value of tho turtle has yet to be exploited, but tho Soudan Oovei'Atnent has Inst no time in establishing pearl fisheries a little to the north of Port Soudan, wllh au eye to future revenue.

Mnulfold are tho reasons advanced for the high meat prices, one of tho principal being thnt tho Inland production Is Insufficient to cover the demand. As a matter of fact, tho German production bas kept pace with the Increase, but uot with the demand of tho population. The German of today cats more moat tha�� formerly. Thirty or forty years ago the consumption averaged eighty-eight pounds per capita, whereas It now amounts to 119 pounds.

The contention that the hen Is the most compassionate thing in creation is strikingly illustrated by a case ot motherhood In nature related ln Country Life. A correspondent tells how ln ft farmyard were two puppies, for whom the mother bad no affection; so an old hen took pity on them, and when sbe went to roost tbey followed her. Squatting ln a corner of a cart-shed she lifted ft wing and the two youngsterA crawled under for tho night, her chicks slumbering on the backs of ibe puppies. Sonic of the Wonders ot a Cerent Garden I'rodm lion, An nlmcst superhuman msk is that of producing a new opera at Covenl Harden, in London, Indeed, after a chat wllh Mr. Raymond Hose, ���whose English opera season nt Covenl Garden has .iusf opened, il Ib evident that whatever popularity and fame may be achieved by tbe producer of successful opera ut the world-famous theatre, it is earned twenty times over. Only those associated with such a stage production have any idea of the work involved. Talking of bis new opera, "Join of Arc.'' Mr. Uozo mentioned that its composition bad occupied him ror several years. "Then," ho continued, "when I decided to produce It at Coveut Garden, along with other operas, the really arduous work began. Thero was the choosing of the chorus, for instance. From the beginning or May 1 bnvo tried something like 1.000 odd voices In order lo select (he present chorus, which Is 120 strong. In addition, of nitirso. there Is the trial of voices for the more. Important parts, and the keen competition to Bfng nt Covent Garden may be. gathered from lhe tact that ladies camo from till parts of Great Britain to endeavor to secure en engagement when Ihey heard that I was about to produce a itew opera in London. "For a couple of months the chorus rehearsed day after day, under the direction of tbo chorus master, Mr. Cecil Stock. His task has been a tremendous one. for be had to work for twelve and fourteen hours a day training the various groups of singers for their parts in '.loan of Arc' and the other operas. "Tben, again, there was the task of providing tbo orchestra, which Is nearly ono hundred strong, with their baud parts, and some idea of ,be worft which this involved may be gathered from tho fact that for four months I bad four copyists working fourteen to fifteen hours a day in order lo get through tho work." Even, however, when tlio chorus haa been chosen nud drilled, music completed for the bond, and the principals have studied their parts st home, thero is a vast amount of rehearsing to be doue. The chorus has to be brought from tho chorus- room, where they havo only been accustomed to a, piano accompaniment, and rehearsed, on ihe Klage with the orchestra. Then tho principals rehearse with tho orchestra, nnd afterwards tho chovua and principals rehearse together. There are scenery rehearsals, lighting rehearsals, rehearsals for supers, and costume rehearsals, one after another until each particular part of the singing, acting, and setting is perfect and fits ln with the other. "It is obvious thnt in the case of a new opera like 'Joan of Arc,' the work of production is far greater than in the case of an old opera; for, In a now production, tho producer must originate everything. For Instance, armour, heraldry, and historical setting play a great part ln this particular opera. Indeed, it provides the greatest bIiow of heraldry ever seen on tho stage. Tbe armour alone," went on Mr. l!o>_, as we discussed this feature of the now opera, "has cost me close on ��500, and in order to bo absolutely correct in every detail in regard to the heraldry 1 have secured the services of Mr. G. Ambroso Lee, York Herald of ArmB, who has revised all tho details and ceremonials." UNDER THE CCEAN Changes In 'he Sea Flocr From Shore to Shore. THE BIG MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE. Training tlio Unjal Horses. Avery morning at about 11 o'clock a procession headed by two chestnut hoi'Bes in charge of grooms, followed ! by a detachment of guards with tholr bands playing vigorously, a strong I force of police and a crowd of clvtl- i ians, leaves St, JamcB' Palace, Lon- i don, and proceeds through St .fames' Park to the Guards' headquarters I close to Buckingham Palace. The two chestnut, horses are the . chief centre ot interest, for this ls I tholr dally leBBon in equine deport- ' inent. Rome day they will figure proudly in stale pageantry and they are being taught to carry themselves with becoming dignity and quietness. For them the chosen drummers of the various guards* bandB beat, fiercely on their drums, while the pipers pipe their shrillest notes. This Is tbe ordeal of noise, and at first the two chestnut horses took exception to it. But after several weck3 of it they have become lndlf- I ferent, and although tho pipers exert themselves to their utmost both horses now have an air of well-bred boredom.
