PROHIBITION The Cumberland Islander reports Mr. J.

Burtt Morgan as President of the Vancouver Island Peoples Prohibition Movement was at the same time doing his best to get the people to vote for the first time���according to The Week for 27th���in tne history of British Columbia, on a measure framed entirely by thePeoples Prohibition Movement representatives. One clause permits the manufacture of liquor in the Province without let or hinderance subject only to the procuring of a Dominion license which liquor may be exported and re-imported without any restrictions as to quantity, but it must be consumed in our homes. The freight charges will bar out light beer, so that it is obvious this one clause alone will encourage " hard " drink against light drink. Dosen't this clearly show what a lot of ignoramus fools the Peoples Prohibition Association is run by? But what is most surprising is that the Hon. Bowser should submit such bosh to the people to vote upon. WM. IDIENS.

Bengough the celebrated Lecturer and CARTOONIST in the Agricultural Hall on Saturday, June 3, at 8 o'clock Admission Free Silver Collection Letter to The Editor I'ditor Review Dear Sir: ��� We have heard srme queer things since the question of Prohibition came before the public, hut one of the most amusing is the warning of Mr. Idiens in The Review of May 18 that if thc fanners and fruitgrowers of Hi iti-h Columbia vote for the new measure Ihey will he cutting their own throats, Whatever may happen to the rest of the II. C. farmers I feel quite sure that those of Comox district wiil run no such risk. What chance is there of this valley being used for growing bailey, apples, hops or grapes for fermentation? Our farmers need all the feed they can raise and more for their own cattle. And who would wish to see our creamery which, thanks to its good manager, is one of the best kept and cleanest in the province exchanged for a brewery? While British Columbia has to import hams and bacon and car loads of fruit from the United States as well as butter from Eastern (Janada and New Zealand, there is work enough ahead for the farmers without trying to raise brewery material. There may even come a time when we will be able to supply ourselves wilh beef and mutton all the year round, a.s well as apples from July to May, Grapes cannot be rai_ed here as a com mercial propositi u We lack the heat necessary to bring out the proper flavor, The picture the ynme writer gave us in The Review a few weeks ago of Courtenny having its park where men and women could sit at tables indulging in wine and be#r, drinking while listening to music resembled too much a German beer garden. What sort of women live in this valley does he think? I believe they are loo intelligent and self respecting to appreciate such vulgarity. 1 speak for the majority. Every farmer who has his own and his country's welfare at heart will vote for Prohibition. A Farmer's Wife. COMOX Mrs, C. C. Piercy has been giving a series of musical evenings to members of the 102nd on Thursday evenings- One week the serireants are invited and the next the corporals. Music, etc., are indulged in and refreshments served. Mrs. Haliday and Mrs. Sergt. Wilson are here on a visit to their husbands. Nob Hill is full of visitors. Mesdames Warsnip and O'Kelly have a pretty camp on the beach between the wharf and the spit. On Tuesday three companies of the 102nd were out on a hike. One company went to Cumberland, one to Kye Hay and the other tip the settlement. A banquet was given by the officers on the Spit on Kriday evening to the clergy and a few others in the district. Fr. Bradley of England is stopping at St Joseph's hospital. Dr. Cox and family have taken up their residence in the house formerly occupied by Dr. Montgomery. The ladi��s who had charge of | thc refreshment booths at the Spit on Victoria Day desire to thank all those who so kindly sent cakes, etc After paying all necessary expenses the splendid sum of $90 is left to be handed to St. Joseph's Hospital The soldier boys appreciated the tea and cake of which there was an abundant supply sent in by the ladies of the district There is likely to be a rural mail deliver- route established between Comox and I.a/.o- A petition from the residents of the Dyke to have a rural delivery made there, but as only four property owners signed, the request could not be granted.

He is look ing hale and heary afler spending a year and a half at the front, part of the time iu the trenches. Holding and kissing hands is au ancient and honorable custom, and has been indulged in by youths for ages past, but there are better places than the railroad bridge for indulging in the pastime, News was received on Tuesday that our friends of the 102nd Batt, C.E.F., who have been encamped ou Goose Spit, Comox Bay, were to leave the district on Friday, June .nd aud proceed to Sydney where they will join some of the other battalions. They will carry with them the good wishes of tlie entire community, and thev will leave behind them many friends who remember with gratitude the kind way in which soldiers of the battalion came to the rescue during the severe winter months, and saved buildings from collapsing under the unusually heavy snowfall. Amongst those who were resident in the Comox Valley we might mention Lietits. J. B. Bailey and R McQuaid, also A, B. Mogg, _���' Field, R Duncan, S. Watson, A Jones. *.. Slaughter, Simmons Bros A. Blight, R. Swanson, H. Grieve G. Thompson. Peterson, Berkeley and Henderson and we hope that some of these will, from time to time, send us approved articles for publication in the columns of this paper so that we may more readily follow the movements and life of the i02iid.
