SAYS HON. R. ROGERSToronto, Jan. 11. — Hon. Robert

Rogers, former Minister of Public Works, was in this city yesterday on his way to Winnipeg. In the course of an interview he said that the people of the prairies were chiefly concerned at the present time with the price* of agricultural Implements and the de­velopment of a market for their pro­ducts.

Questioned regarding free Imple­ments, he said he thought some way should be found of putting the Can­adian manufactures on all fours with the manufacturers of the United States. The Canadian manufacturers had shown during the ’war that they could turn out munitions just as skti fully .as the manufacturers of any other country, and at the sdroe prices, and he believed they could produce tractors and other agricultural' ma­chinery Just as well and cheaply as tl$e American manufacturers if they were able to get the raw materials o

HIGHER RATES ASKED BY EXPRESS COMPANIES MAHER

OF GREAT INTEREST TO B. C.

VESSEL SINK!.. EAST OE HALIFAX

Ships Rush to Assistance of SS. Castalia, Which Sent

— Out Call

WIRELESS MESSAGEREACHED HALIFAX

Vancouver, Jan. 11.—Serious developments in the cost of living situation on this coast and a serious crippling of British Columbia’s fish and fruit industries: particularly, are anticipated by men engaged in these industries, should the schedule of increased express rates drawn up by the Ex promt Traffic Association be granted.

This association, which comprises the express companies of Canada, now is making application to the Board of Railway Commis­sioners for increases in express rates which average thirty-seven per cent, east of Sudbury. and twenty-five per cent, west of Sudbury. These are the averages, but in British Columbia, for example, the in­crease* range from two per .cent, to eighty per cent, on Various commodl- Itka . ■ i_ -1 • ■ ._____. __ .___

The hearing of the Express Associa­tion’s application is prôceedlnt; in Montreal btfore the Board of Railway Commissioners.. It was learned yes­terday from officers of the Canadian Fisheries Association here that tele­grams had been sent to people in the east who are interested in fisheries, asking them to appear for the fishing industry. Local fish dealers also have presented their side of the case to the Canada Food Board.

A Big IncreaseThe proposed increase in the rate

on fresh fish iq carload lots Is from the present rate of $100 per hundred­weight . from Vancouver to Montreal^ tp $9.00 per hundredweight, or exactly three times as much. The secretary of the Canadian Fisheries Association here said that If permitted, such ac­tion would undo much of the work of the Canada Food Board in developing and cultivating a market fqr 1‘aclflc Coast fish on the prairies in order to conserve meat. This market, he said, had not been established' long enough to stand such a big jump in prices as would be necessary to cover the pro­posed tremendous rise in express chargea

Foodstuffs ••‘And it works both ways.’’ he added

If these increases are granted the VbSt to the people of this, coast of Im­ports from the east also is bound to go up. Under the old rate fish and fruit going from the coast to the prairies, and butter, cheese, eggs, meat and packing house products coming from the prairies to the coast enjoyed special commodity rate. Now It Is the Intention of the express com­panies to cancel all commodity tariffa These foodstuffs in the proposed sche­dule are classified as perishable goods. This would make the actual Increase more than shows in the table of per­centages. The articles, therefore, which would be most affected in price would be foodstuffs, the most neces­sary of all.”

“As to the need of an Increase,’’ the Secretary said, “everything else has gone up in cost, and It is possible that the express companies are entitled to some increase, but compare what they are asking with the increase awarded to the American companies recently Their former rate on fresh fish from Seattle to Boston, a longer haul than from Vancouver to Montreal, was $3. This has been raised to $2.40, not quite a fifteen per cent. Increase.

Vis U. 8. Roads“It seems to roe,” he went on. “that

If the Ganadianjfexpress companies get what they are asking, a lot of food­stuffs will travel between Eastern and Western Canada through the United States. It would be cheaper to send them down to Seattle, through the United States to Buffalo and then up again to Canada; but. of course, only a limited number of Canadian cities are so situated geographically as to make this feasible.

•'•A- tremendous bit of foodstuffs comes to British Columbia from the prairies,’’ he said, “and a tremendous amount of fruit and lsh goes from here east. Of all the fish landed in Vancou­

ver only a email fraction is consumed here; Practically all the haul of the trawlers equipped and manned at such expense, is exported. If the express rates should go up 200 per cent on fish, when It gets to Us destination Its price will be so high that people will not buy ILW

Fruit GrowersThe British Columbia Fruit Grow-s’ Association is also alive to

the “paralyzing effect on this growing industry” which the fruit growers be- Ueve would, result from such. radical changes in express rates as are un­der discussion. The Department of Agriculture at Victoria has received from O. K. McIntosh, in charge of transportation a^ Ottawa, » circular letter in which he states that “as It if the Intention to cancel all commodity tariffs, the fruit industry In both Mart, ern and Western Canada will he one of the Interests most seriously af­fected.”

Ottawa, Jan. 11.—Asked with re­gard to the complaints of soldiers brought back to Canada on the liner Scandinavian. Adjutant-General Ash­ton this morning stated that he had received no official report from St. John and therefore was not in a posi­tion to make a statement. The com­plaints. he said, would be investigated, of course* by Militia Department Of­ficers at the port of debarkation who would report to headquarters. General Ashton said that Judging from the newspaper reports, thé complaints were of conditions for which the over­seas authorities must take the respon­sibility.

SEVENTY-TWO LOSE LIVES IN CLASHES IN BUENOS AYRES

Buenoe Ayres, Jan. 11.—Seventy-two peraona were killed, eighty, two were gravely wounded and more than 800 received minor injur­ies in the fighting which occurred here yesterday and last night as a result of the general strike, according to figures compiled at 3 o’clock this morning. Firing was incessant in all parts of the city from seven o'clock untu midnight, but then began to die away.

General Detlapaine, who assumed a military diatatorship last night, called the strike committee of the regional federal labor com-mittee before him at an early hour to­day and ordered it to bring him a schedule of demands on which the fed­eration will agree te settle the strike.

Conditions in the city are obscure and the only telegraph lines are under control of the Government and a cen­sorship is being enforced.

Halifax. Jan. 1L—A/ylreless mess­age from the steamship Castalia stat­ing that she was sinking rapidly about sixty-five miles south of Canto reach­ed here this morning. C. H. Harvey, local agent of the Marine and Fisher­ies Department, stated that the mess­age read as follows:

“S. O. S. Castalia, 44.40 N. 61 W.; Sinking fast. Condition crlticaL Drift­ing east Want assistance Immedi­ately.”

A later message received by Mr. Harvey from the Steamship Bergensf- jord. a nineteen-knot ship, stated that she was 170 miles from the steamship Castalia, and was rushing to her as­sistance.

The steamship War Frlgtan, a ten- knot vessel, which sailed yesterday from Halifax, also reported that she Was steaming to the assistance of the, Castalia. In addition; Mr. Harvey notified the Canadian Government steamer Lady Laurier at Sydney to proceed to the scene. Local shipping men arranged to send out assistance.

The position given by the Cast&Ha In her wireless message is calculated at about 150 miles east of Halifax, which would be about slaty miles south of Canso tn a direct tine between that port and Sable Island.

The Castalia is a steel steamship of 2,229 tons, and was built by the*Globe Iron Works, of Cleveland. Ohio. Her dimensions are: Length. 364 feet; beam, 40 feet, and depth 21 feet.

From Great Lakes.Quebec, Jan. 11.—A vessel named

Castalia left Quebec about a month ago for Halifax. She origiiyUly came from the Great Lakes, and was moved through the canals in two sections, being reconstructed while here. This is thought to be the vessel reported sinking off Halifax. She left Sydney at 10 p. m. on January 8, having arrived there from this port on Jan­uary 5. The vessel was escorted down the SL Lawrence lyrtimiq#-breaker WdfrtCftlm. but encountered little ice. It I» possible that -the vessel having been brought down the lakes in two sections, may have been weakened by. the Ice. and sprung aleak at sea. She waa of recent construction, and car­ried a crew of American sailors. She was filled up here under the direction of the American shipping board.

URGES STRICTER TERMS FOR GERMANY

London Chronicle Says Allies Should Make Armistice

More Effective

London. Jan. 11—.Canadian Press dispatch from Reuters».—In connection with the problem of demobilization and the fact that th* eecon dramlstice per­iod ends on January IT, when the Al­lied Powers must carefully consider a renewal of the terme of the armistice. It is noteworthy that hitherto Germany has Called la many respects to carry out the terme imposed. The shortage» in deliveries Include 4,600 locomotive*, 130,000 trucks, 6.000 motor lorries, near­ly »00 heavy guns, Including all types, 1.000 trench mmortars. 7,000 machine guns and 400 aeroplanes.

In connection with this The Daily Chronicle -urges the Allied Powers to take a firm stand and when renewing the armistice to stipulate for the right of occupation of any strategical posi­tion they may deal re. in order to pre­serve order and secure safety. They should lay dourç definite measures of demobilisation, thus bringing the Ger­man armistice Into line with other arm­istices.

This paper urges that while these omissions are unremedied the Allies must maintain larger forces, in the fiel dthan they otherwise would. Sim­ultaneously they should .secure the abandonment of the German military designs against Prussian Poland and the evacuation from Germany of all Russian Bolshevik! agents.

URGE REPEAL OF ELECTION MEASURE

Saskatchewan M. P. P.’s De­clare Dominion War-Time

Act Should Disappear

egina, Jen. 11.—Scathingly de­nunciatory of the War-Time Election Act end the men who were responsi­ble for this federal measure and its operation during the last election. Hon. W. B. Knowles, M. P. P. for Moose Jaw, made In the Saskatchewan Legis­lature yesterday afternoon a contribu­tion to the debate on Mr. Gardiner’s

elution urging the Dominion Gov­ernment speedily to have this Act re­pealed. -

Mr. Knowles contended that the dis­franchisement of alien born Canadian cltleene, with its accompanying meas ere of relief from the operations of the Military Service Act, was purely a political move, and proof of this, he declared, was contained 1» the fact that this provision was not made In the Military Service Act itself, although

l measure wee passed some time prior to the War-Time Election Act

The speaker declared that Instruc­tions sent out had enabled enumerators and deputy registrars to perpetrate Innumerable irregularities, resulting In the disfranchisement of large numbers of people who were qualified to votq even under the provisions of the War- Time Election Act. The Act and th* election which fetiowed were charact­erised by th* Speaker as dRmnabte and e disgrace to Canada.

Others who spoke on the resolution ere W. O. Bah I mark, member for

Saltcoats; T. E. Gamble, member for Ben go ugh. and H. E. Jones, member for Tisdale, all of them speaking support of the resolution. During the two days of the debate none of the Op­position members had anything to say. and two or three of the speakers com* men ted on thla The debate was not completed when the Legislature rose at 6.16 p.m., and will be continued on Monday aftrenoon.

SUGGESTS FORMATION INCOME TAX NEEDED OF PORT AUTHORITY

Board of Trade Favors Scheme to Increase Commerce of

Victoria

Attorney-General Tells Manu­facturers in Vancouver,

B.C, Needs Revenue

For the purpose of increasing the ocean commerce of the ctfiy. J. J. Shallçrvws, at the quarterly meeting of the Hoard of Trade yesterday after­noon. strongly urged the organisation of g port authority with adequate powers'. ,:iml a lvnneed nviny argu­ments to show how such a move Would bring business to Victoria. A resolution supporting' Mr Shiillrmse’s contention» was passed, and Dr. Tvl- m*e, M. 1\. will be asked without de­lay to do all in his power to Secure ■lome action on the part of the Federal Government.

Mr. Shall--roMce remark-d that K was useless for Victoria simply to wait-for trade to come its way. Only by a centralized and organized effort could the cl tv hope to compete with other ports in thV Nortnwest.

«'.•ntmuins. Mr. tihallu-oss pointed thfil^lctoria's position as the first

and last port' of « ait foe ocean titters did not necessarily mean that it would enjoy a greater volume of trade than other coast cities. For instance, Ply­mouth, Falmouth, qumitown, and Southampton were first ports of call, end did not secure the same trade as Liverpool except In mail and passen­gers. Hamburg, too. was able to out­class Ouxhavcn though the latter was situate at the entrance of the- Blby. Montreal received much greater trade than Rlmouskl and Quebec which, however, were the first ports of 'call fur steamers entering the St. Law­rence.

Victoria must not,' therefore, rely upon her situation as the first and last port of call, Mr. Hhallcross said, but upon the fact that It was the most convenient port for the unloading of Canadian freight from vessels on their way to Puget Sound. Victoria was. and would be. the most accessible Canadian port for ships hound for thp American cittes on the Sound, or even on the Coast. Victoria was aise par­ticularly fortunate In the fact that ships could tie up at her docks at any time, as the tids had no noticeable ef­fect. A

Other Essentials.Victoria enjoyed these natural ad­

vantages, but there were other factors which must be attended to. and which were eeeentlal it these advantages were to b* utilised The docks here, which cost something like 11.000,000. wuu«d also bf- a great aid In .his ex­pansion, but the thing needed was seme arrangement whejyby trans­shipment could l»e made wonomlîally.

Despatch was another essential fac­tor if Victoria were t> enjoy an in­creased volume of Commerce. Mr. Shailcross rem irked, and h<* point-4 put that then* were many ports where 3.000 tens of freight could be discharg­ed fn m a ship in twetil> -lour hours and cleur.-d away f»-< m the wh^k||^M Victoria could not hope to equal tnff performance. but it should establish up-to-date facilities for the handling of freight, and elfielent machinery to take care of cargoes after they hud left the slings

Mr. Shallcrvea also urged that the establishment of a system of lighter­age might be advisable, particularly In the handling of freight for the indus­trial settlements of the (’oast.

In showing now port regulations lieneiited. the city wherein they were established. Mr. Hhallcross cited as an example the Mersey I locks and Harln.r Board which, he said, was largely re­sponsible for the Tem^ndous growth in the conimeree of Liverpool. Agaio, through the efforts of Rs Hr. . tors. In­dustries were established along the Manchester whip canal which, for fif­teen years, had not been a paying In­stitution, but which under-- the new v4xUai«#n» made maaey. Tim flock Board of London, too, Nhowed what or­ganized work could do.

It was inadvisable, said Mr. Shall- cross. -to hate the port undet the con­trol of a Government official who n. r. ly enr-ied out Instructio.is fromthe Fanhal und who was given no 1 re*- hand In hi* work for the lanelit of the port. Again, should a Government- controlled railroad be given itowers over the port, regulating measures might be instituted with selfish ends in vie* to the detriment of rival Trade. Victoria must organise a body with a determination, to remove all obstacles and to attract trade But the men put in charge nt such a project must be given full authority.

Mr. Shallcross suggested that the proposed port authority should com­prise three nominees of the Federal Government, one representative of the Board of Trade and the Mayor In an ex-officio capacity.

The board should not be operated along the same lines as the Vancouver Institution, said Beaumont Boggs, for

^tie^ latter had soFiiTCir fOT tiré Term­inal City the reputation for being a most expulsive and unsatisfactory port.

IH ARGENTINA I

Although the immediste cause of the disturb­ance in Argentina was a strike, it is more than likely that the labor trouble in its turn is the vigorous manifestation of the widespread dissatis­faction with President Irigoyen and his Govern­ment which has existed ever since the disclosure of Count Luxburg’s intrigue and the famous “spur- los versenkt” messages he sent to Berlin through ths.Swediah Embassy at Buenos Ayres. -------

It was commonly believed that these revelations would cause Argentina to follow Brazil into the eombination against Germany, and not only did the people of the republic demand this course in no uncertain way, but a resolution calling for it was adopted by the Argentina Congress. President Irigoyen, however, declined to accede to the de­mand, and his attitude furnished strong ground for suspicion that he was under German influence operating from its well-known base of intrigue in Spaiin.

Indeed, the President’s refusal to hold Germany to account for the action of her ambassador in Buenos Ayres in advising the German Admiralty to “sink without trace” Argentina merchantmen, could admit of no other interpretation. Nor is it forgotten that the notorious Joseph Caillaux, now fading a charge of high treason in Prance, spent some time in Argentina not long after the war broke out where, it may be taken for granted, he busied himself in conspiracies with Argentinan- GerifiïrpSpànisÜ"Influences for promoting the de­feat of the Allies. ,

Possibly Irigoyen was convinced by the Germans that they would win the war,’and that in such a ease Argentina would benefit at the expense of Brazil, her northern neighbor,' who had joined forces with the Allies. Now that the Allies have won, Brazil’s prestige in ^outh America and her standing in the world have been greatly enhanced, while Argentina, who had meekly taken a blow in the face from the mailed fist, is viewed with world-wide suspicion and not a little contempt.

All this has irritated the public with the Presi­dent, and there can be no doubt that Argentina is ripe for civil war. The strikers are armed and organized and unquestionably have a strong fol­lowing, not only among the people but in the army, for the Government has refrained from using the land troops in quelling the disturbance except to a very limited extent.

Yesterday General DeHepeine, the commander of the state forces, assumed the dictatorship, ex­plaining, however, that his action was not a mea­sure unfriendly to the President. It must be a curious kind of dictatorship, which means the as­sumption of absolute powers that cannot be construed as unfriendly to the President, who, although the elected head of the republic, must be­come subordinate to the dictator. Either the

" general has been induced to take this course by the wily President so that he can be made the scape­goat if his repressive measures fail, or he intends to kick Irigoyen out of office if he should be able to gain control of the situation. Lively develop­ments may be looked for in the South American republic.

THOSE HOLD-OPS

SAANICH’S FINANCES

A generally healthy financial condition is re­flected by the annual report of Saanich Munici­pality which is being submitted to the Municipal Council this afternoon. The statement shows that notwithstanding the disabilities Saanich, in com­mon with other municipalities, has had to contend with during the last four years, it has maintained its equilibrium in the most satisfactory way and has no reason or misgiving for the future.

Particularly notable were the collections for the twelve-month period ending December 31 last. These were $133,831, out of a total levy qf $175,- 863, the percentage of collections, therefore, being more than 75, whereas in 1917 the percentage of collection was 67, and in 1916 it was 63.J.5. At the end of December, 1917, the outstanding arrears totalled $134,813, but during 1918 these were re­duced by $29,628, more than twenty per .cent, of the outstanding taxes,_ therefore, being transferred to the right <htle of th* account in .that time. ■ ■ - v-

The total assessment for the year was $12,070,- 672, over $1,635,000 less than in 1917, the chief redaction being in the assessment of taxablç land and improvements. The tax rate, however, was the same as last year, 14% mills, notwithstanding the increase in the debt charge due to the programme of publie improveassnta recently carried oat by the municipality. The general rate, in fact,-was more than a mill less than the general rate in 1917, •o it is clear that the municipality in every way is jmbetsntiaBy improving its position.

Highway robbery in Victoria generally is so rare that the series of hold-ups which have occurred in the last few weeks call for special attention. Judging by their actions and methods, the perpetra­tors appear to be of two kinds—youthful amateurs and professionals—although it is probable they belong to a single organized gang, other branches of which are operating on the Mainland. For the most part, they proceed in the ythhddn way and with the usual appurtenances—masks and guns— the former making it difficult for the victims to gain more than a vety general description.

They will be caught, if they ply their desperate calling long enough, and when they have been they should be taught such a lesson as will make the underworld catalogue Victoria as a most unhealthy locality for operations of this kind. The Criminal Code places only one limitation on the court* in imposing punishment on malefactors guilty of high­way robbery under arms: it cannot send them to the gallows. But it can 'send them to prison for life and order them to be whipped besides. Section 446 sayv: “ Everyone is gm tty of an indictable of­fence and liable to imprisonment for life and to be whipped who, being armed with an offensive wea­pon or instrument, robs, or assaults with intent to H>b, any person.” ------ -

WAIT FOB THE INQUIRY

To the Editor,—la the report of the eetlng of the Med Irai Health Officers

at the Parliament Buildings, the public are Informed that "the ban le lifted and the schools are to re-open."

Why thle change of front? At the call of the medical authorities the

bools were closed, and now again at the call of the medical authorities the schools are to be re-opened, despite the fact that In the same report we ere Informed "there was unmistakable evi­dence that the epidemic Is on the Increase."

Surely the public are entitled to some explanation on what, on the face of It, appear» to be a most Inconsistent de­cision. It 1» further stated In The Times that tha aohoat authorities 4 almost unanimous In favor of main­taining the ban, and In another part of the paper "the Spanish influença Is not any better, and le showing every Indi­cation of becoming worse" (Dr. Price).

"» the matter stands the children are to be sent to school to face situation that, to aU appearances to the lay mind, the dosing of the schools sought to avoid.

W. KENNEDY.

All complaints concerning conditions of the vessels bringing soldiers and dependents to Canada should be promptly and thoroughly investigated, but the public should suspend judgment until the investigation has taken place. While the authori­ties should take every possible measure to ensure the comfort and well-being of those on board the ships it should be borne in mind that their capacity for making improvements is limiti® by extraordin­ary circumstances. Vessels which have been oper­ating steadily during the last fifty-two months should have a vigorous overhauling, but the de­mand for the early return of the Canadian sol dices and dependents requires the authorities to make the most of existing transportation facilities. The bringing back of more than 250,000 soldiers, besides many thousands of dependents, in eight months, the greater part of which must be done in the most inclement period of the year, is a eon siderable task. ................. ....

WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL TRUSTEES?

The municipal political situation as it affects the election for the Board of School Trustees is un­usual, to say the least. Three trustees, Mrs. Jen kins, Watson Clark and Peter Riddell, are retiring, and only Mr. Riddell is standing for re-election, Mr. Clark being a candidate for the City Council and Mrs. Jenkins withdrawing from publie life af­ter eighteen years of signal service on the Board. Up to this writing but one new candidate for Trus­tee has come out, the aspirant being Mrs. Richards, so that unless more candidates offer themselves between now and the nominations on Monday not mriy -will there be no contest, but the'School Board will be minus one Trustee.

Such a situation is a glaring reflection upon the common-sense of the public. The Board of School Trustees is one of the most important institutions in the life of the community. In some respects it is of more importance than even the Municipal Council. Last year, if we are not mistaken, it ex­pended some $300,000 of the taxpayers’ money. Yet up to noon today only two candidates had an­nounced themselves, and there are three vacancies to be filled ! It might be pertinently pointed out, however, that while this state of affairs is a reflee tion upon the sagacity of the public in a general sense, its implication is credtiable to the two candidates who have had the public spirit to come out as candidates, and if there is to be no contest their example should be followed sufficiently at least to fill the third vacancy.

THE FEVER OF BOLSHEVISM.(London Globe.)

There to In this country none, or almoet none, of the Bolshevist disposition to hate the man who owns a yacht or a motor car. The tendency of the average Briton who does not possess them luxuries Is to hope that the os luck may come hie way and to consider whether, by the exercise of his own Ingenuity, he cannot attain It But he has not the least desire to smash all yachts and motor cars because he cannot afford them; still lose hoe he any wish to murder their present possessors. He will not catch that kind of fever from the Germans, no matter how fiercely It may rage among them, but will devote himself to getting what he wants by due process el law. That the French workingman should copy anything whatever from Germany la unthinkable; he has no admiration for the habits of ravages. Let the Germans go Bolshevist If they will. It la nothing to us except In so far as the extent to which they cut one another's throats Is a matter of benefit to the root of mankind.

MUCH RUBBISH REMOVED.(Westminster Gamuts )

A little shopkeeper made a rather Illuminating remark to me yesterday on the subject of "rubbish." She said, as aha groped under the counter for a piece of presentable wrapping paper, "At all events the world's a good «tew tor this war “ là Its way it was rather a pie thought within Its own bmltatlone—that of the war as a great spring-cleaning of the world. What accumulations of what urea once accounted rubbish have bqen pi Into use! What piles of rubbish from shops and factorisa and private houses hove been turned over end made to serve some need: No doubt* there win he new waste from the munitions and equipments of war; but at leai shall start fair, and may have learned a lesson In re­sourcefulness.

NOT ON mtIKS

To the Editor.—In your issue of the eighth on the shipping page, you have an article stating that the firemen on the government steamers Newington and Kstevan are on strike. That state­ment la misleading. The facts of the case are these: On November 4 the Government agent was handed the wage scale of the firemen’s union, and asked what he would do about It. He (the agent) stated to the delegate and the writer that he would send It on to Ottawa.and that when we came back from the trip we would have the reply. We left Victoria on November 8 i returned on December 18. The agent was asked by the delegate if the reply had come through, and said. "No.” Since then we have asked repeatedly and have had "No” for an answer. The firemen on the EsfeVan and Newing ton are still at work, and if that can be called on strike it is a new one to me. and also to the public. The other statement—-that the Leebro's firemen were satisfied with the wages they are receiving—also is misleading. The captain of that ship said he would pay the union wages as soon as the gov­ernment ships paid the union wage. These men are also awaiting a-reply We are doing the same class of work as other coal-burning ships, and claim that we are entitled to the same pay

a private company pays.M. FRAZER.

C.G.8. Newington. Jan. 9, 1819.

ALTERNATIVES.

To the Editor,—“There is more than one way to kill a cat besides choking It to death with butter.” The principle of this old proverb might well be taken to keart by the City Council when ven­turing upon the doubtful expedient of buying farm land at 8400 per acre upon credit for use as a cemetery. The Council—up to the preesnt—has not entered a defence of the action taken. Sir Oracle is dumb. A cemetery 1» wanted, say they. Let us look out a piece of land that we think suitable, obtain prices and proceed to borrow money to pay for It It never seemed to have dawned upon them that the primitive method.nf buying seal nutate for cemetery purposes was by paying for it cash down. 1 am hopeful that tike two. candidates for Mayor may yet become Bible Students, in which cas* they mighti profitably read of a trans action on that principle by the founder of the Jewish rare, who thereby set a worthy example for the Gentiles of British Columbia to follow. Abraham spake unto Ephron *T willgive thee money for the field; take It Of me, knd I will bury my dead there.” And Abraham weighed in Ephron “four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.” (Read Genesis >3.3—20).

If money down Is paid for the land then less—much less—land will be pur­chased. A lot or section of about twenty or thirty acres ▼ill be sufficient for the next thirty years, and each suc­ceeding generation should be allowed the privilege of caring for Its own mode as well as coat of burial.

Than a greater conservation might be made of the present cemetery, which will extend its period of usefulness The disused gravel pit might be filled up without extra cost, and provide ■pace for twelve to twenty graves. The water course through the cemetery, now an unsightly tangled thicket might alee be utilised. An Inquiry- detailed and thorough—ahould be Insti­gated through the civic officials, as to private plots unused, and endeavors made to reappropriate by purchase for actual use.

Then it must be remembered that the Anglican portion of the cemetery is far from being filled, and will provide for many mere Interments. Also that the Chinese cemetery is now used al­most exclusively by the Chinese peo­ple and that probably by negotiation other Oriental races could find acct modation there.

It la further probable that land ad­joining. that will need no special out­lay for water, drains, roads or light and could be obtained in comparative small lota If such was considered advisable.

la not even the proposal of the City Council to buy the land misleading? If It were not such a hackneyed word I would say la not the by-law a bit of “camouflage?” To use plain tangua*», the City Council la asking the cltisens to vote for a by-law authorising the borrowing of $38,900. Now If this la carried the next move will be to float s second by-law for drainage, grading, water facilities, surveying, fencing, roads and buildings, which will coat in all but little short of 1100,006 to com­plete. But having paid for the land thédBMMdaiMB £ %open about the transaction? All the cards ahould be laid upon the table. The by-law or public notice should contain information as to the actual coat, certified to by the City Engineer, before any attempt is made to slant pede the cititeni into injudicious ex­penditure. The only proper course is to vote against the by-law. In order to give time for further consideration.

“My goodness'. What smells so fine?" naked Uncle Wiggtly Longears, the bunny rabbit gentleman, aa be hopped out Into the kitchen of hla hollow stump bungalow one morning.

"Perhaps It Is some Of the Christmas perfume you gave me which I put on my handkerchief." answered Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuxsy. the muskrat lady housekeeper. And. with her new hand­kerchief. which did smell Juat like a bottle of paregoric, she wiped a dab of flour off the end of her nose.

“No, it isn’t perfume that I smell.” spoke Uncle Wiggtly. "It la much bet­ter than that. Ha! I see! It ia some­thing in the oven!" he cried.

— “Oh. yw amt- mean - «he pumpkin pies I'm making." said Nurse Jane, as she opened the oven door, to make sure the pies were not burning. And they were not. I am glad to aay.

•Pumpkin pies, eh?” cried Uncle Wiggtly. “That must be What I smell. Where did you get them and when will they be done?"

“Ï made them from the pumpkin you rolled home In the other day, 'Wqrymr fooled the Pipsisewah,** spoke Nurae Jane. “And as for being done, the plea will be ready to eat In about an hour after they cool."

“Oh, joy!" cried Uncle Wiggliy. “How many did you make?"

•Six. That’s half a dozen,” answered Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. “I have enough pumpkin left to make more It you like them And 1 was thinking that per­haps you might like to take two of these pies to one of your frlende."

“I will! I’ll take two pumpkin plee to Grandfather Goosey Gander."Uncle Wiggliy. "He likes them almost as much aa I do. Hurry and bake well. Nurse Jane, and 1*11 start. On the way 1 may have an adventure."

Soon the pumpkin plea were baked a lovely brown, and when they cooled Uncle Wiggliy took two of and started off across the snowy fields to the home of Grandpa Goosey.

Uncle Wiggliy was thinking b happy the old gentleman would be to have two pumpkin plea—one for Sun­day, you know—when, all of a sudden out from under a pile of enow crawled the bad old Pipaisewah again.

‘•Dear me!" exclaimed Uncle Wiggliy. "I hoped I had seen the hurt of you!"

•‘Perhaps you have—for thle week." ~ said the Plpateewah, trying to smile aa

the Skeexicks does. “At any rate you have seen the last of your so use—the souse on your ears. You have seen the last of tb**

“How ao?" aaked Uncle Wiggtly, hugging the pumpkin plea in hla pawa ao they wouldn't slip out where the Plpeleewah could get them. "Why bave I seen the last of my souse?"

“Becauba I am going to take It from you," said the bad Pipaisewah. “I am going to take all the souse from your ears."

“Please don't!" begged the bunny. “Yes, I shall," said the Pip, as I call

him for abort Well, he began to get ready to nip

the aouse from the bunny's ears, and

the rabbit gentleman, standing on top of the hill that waa half way to Gr&ndba Goosey’s houae, waa wonder­ing how he could save hla souae, when all of a sudden, he thought of a way.

"Do you like pumpkin pie?" Uncle Wiggily suddenly asked the Plpeise- wah.

"Indeed I do," answered the Plpslae- wah." "But never mind about that

"Oh, but I shall mind, if you please," aald the bunny. “Now 1 have here two pumpkin pies. Do you think you can run taster than one of them?"

Run faster than a pumpkin pie? Well. I should say ao!" cried the Pip-ewL'Jw “V**Man.want to tell you that If I run a race with £ pumpkin pie I shall expect to

“First race with the pumpkin pie and then we'll talk about souse afterward. Now here Is a pumpkin pie," he went on. “Let me see If you ranmn faster -than Nurse Jane'» pie can."

Uncle Wiggily took one of the pump­kin pies and started It rolling down the hilt on top ef which he stood. Down went the pie, rolling along on Its edge Juat like a hoop.

"Oh, ho! I can catch that!" cried the Pipaisewah. and. forgetting for the time all about souse, down th%hlll he started after the pie.

Faster and faater the pie rolled, and faster and faster ran the Pipaisewah. but no matter how fast he ran the pie went more quickly, until at last the Plpeleewah waa going ao faat that he turned a somersault head over pawa into a anew bank, and there he stuck.* “Well, 1 guess he won't get any aouse

or pie, êîtiier. to-day," aald Uncle Wig­gily. Then, as the Pip was stuck fast and couldn't get him. Mr. Longears bopped down the hill, picked up the pie from where It had fallen and once more with the two of them under his paws he set out for Grandpa Goosey's.

This time nothing bothered him, and he reached there safely, and Grandpa Goosey waa very glad to get the pump kin plea, and thanked Nurse Jane very

Incidentally he remarked on the unusual wanner of the musicians themselves—unusual be­cause they have no platform manner except their music, and that being true, there are no attitudes, grimacing or posing -just a cordial smile upon entry; one quiek rap of the baton, and the Zoellners. like their instruments, seem to become one entity, solely In­spired by the music which they are playing

CORRESPONDENCETo the Music Critic of The Times:

Dear Madam.—May 1 be permitted to express my appreciation of a abort article on ‘encores" that appeared on the music page last Saturday? „ With charitable reserve, thO writer did not even hint at the root of the encore evil—personal vanity. We all long to. tie encored, and in our dread of not securing what we love, we deny the

■waoHeseoe -i4er- rigkfc-to cheoee whs* «*t- wants— whether It wishes to give a courteous recall and is satlslfed with a reappearance and a few graceful hows, or whether iL. really wants something more: and if we perform­ers would but distinguish between the recall and the. encore applause, con­certs would be twice as enjoyable, and there would be less of that shame - faced, cautious tip-toeing from tlïé concert 1*0001 before the affair is half over. Let me apply here one of the two lines from Shakespeare that I cun quote from memory?—"Sweets grown common lose their dear delight.”

Where, as in music, tastes are so diverse, it is impossible to imagine the whole audience as being wildly anxious to have every number en­cored. Some admire singing, others the piano, while others may prefer the trombone or the ukelele. Isn’t It. then, just a bit selfish of the piano lover to work up an encore to please himself when he knows how his neigh- lior is longing for the trombonist to appear, mid why should the tn-mb -Iv­or ukelele lover feel justified in asking for "more," when the lover of singing is anxiously waiting for the "voice' that somewhere is calling" him?

As my views are shared by many others, I feel at liberty to make a sug­gestion to both audience and perform­ers. Let the audience avoid all mixed motives in applauding (such as "to encourage the poor creature," or be­cause "that’s over" or to "see how her gown is made, or “because" It’s my duty") and applaud solely for the merit of the performance, itse.lf. .Let the performers be persuaded to give an encore only when It Is absolutely unavoidable, and even then not until they have first responded to a recall. —and let the encore be a gem in brev­ity.

CONCERT DIRECTOR VISITS VICTORIA

Arrangements Being Made for French Military Band, and

Grand Opera

Mrs. Florence E. Whiteside, now resident In Seattle ms Concert Director for the State of Washington, and pro­moter of the interests of music gen­erally. was in Victoria this week, and in the course of an interesting inter­view. said:

"My mission here, really, is in ad­vance of the San Carlo Grand Opera Company, which will appear in Van­couver Monday, Tuesday and Wednes­day, January 27. 28 and 29. There will be four engagements, three evening performances and matinee. The reper­toire will be varied ; Monday there will be a double bill: "Secrets of Suzanne." by Wolf-SarrL a comedy really, with beaytifiil BHuàesviutd with it. "I accl," by Leoncavallo. On Tuesday, Gounod’s "Faust" will be given and on Wednesday afternoon the "Tales of Hoffman" (Offenbach). The engage­ment will finish with **11 Trdvatore" on Wednesday evening.

"The company is appearing under the management of the Western Con­cert Bureau—the Ellison-White Musi­cal Bureau at Portland, and as you likely know, the local manager at Van­couver is Mr. F. W. Dyke. The reper­toire of the company is large and com­prises Alda. Carmen. La Gioconda. Lucia pi Larnmermoor. 6 Romeo and Juliet. Rigoletto, II Trovatore. Martha, Barber of Seville. Cavalleria Rusti- cana. Jewels of The Madonna. Tales of Hoffman, La Traviata. Faust. Manon. Pagliacci, The Secret of Suzanne and Masked Ball. Also the famous Puccini Royal Operas."

In reply to a question alwut her in­terests in the French hand which It is hoped will play In Victoria, Mrs.- White- side went on to say: "As our bureau is the western distributing point for printing and concert management. 1 have been asked to make local arrange­ments for the appearance of this band. The name of the organisation is really the "Guard of the Republic"—It is a French Military Bagd under the leader­ship of M. Gabriel Pares. The ar­rangements for their coming to Amer­ica were made. by the French High Commission at Washington, and It is a signal honor that the hand should come to us. Many of the men have

been In the trenches and some of them have won distinctions. You -can under­stand then why it Is felt that the at­mosphere under which this organiza­tion shall appear should be entirely civic and patriotic—that is to say, there shall be no local or private gain. They expect a minimum guarantee from each city in which they play, and of course anything received over that and above that amount wilt also go towards their fund which will be used in France for the French Red Cross for reconstruc­tion work and work among the French widows and orphans. In Vancouver the Mayor called together the heads of different clubs. Canadian Club. Rotary- Club, Board of Trade and others, and recommended that they ask the City Council which comes in next week for this guarantee I have mentioned. 1 shall also go to Nanaimo to make ar rangements for the band’s appearance there."

The third Students' Recital of the Ladles" Musical Club was held this af­ternoon at the Empress Hotel. Among tho*e appearing un the programme were Lorna Greenehlelds and Cordelia Corfietd. pianists: Miss MffnM and Misa Winifred Bell, vocalists.

David Ross, teacher and solokft. of Vancouver, has been engaged to sing the bass solos of the "Messiah," which will be rendered at . the First Presbyterian Church during the tiret week of February. Over one hundred were at practice last Monday evening and the work done augurs wett for the success of the performance.

The Choral Society will hold its first concert this season Tuesday. February If This will, through the courtesy of Mr. R. N. Hincks. be given at the Princess Theatre, and the total pro­ceeds will Ik* given to the Red Cross Society, a good practice was held last Monday evening. 114 of the member­ship being present at roll-call.

The programme of British music which was |o have been presented by the Victoria Ladies' Musical Club. January 23, has been indefinitely post­poned, owing to the fact that fully half of the number of those partici­pating in the programme are 411 with Influenza, and the usual practices can­not be held.

Aa a result of the concert at which Lucy Gales and Trio de Lutece ap­peared last week, the Victoria Ladies" Musical Club announce that the net proceeds were $62.15. This is yen satisfactory considering the ext remet* low prices for seats, and the club appreciates very much the evidence of good will on the part of the public in supporting by attendance this initial

’venture in the Interests of better music at minimum prices. The pro- ££ede«1!r,1]1 ** devoted t° the Fund for War Widows and Orphans.

‘Rosary’ was was com- poeed In 1897 when Ethelbert Neven was in New York. One evening he opened a letter from an old friend en­closing Robert Cameron Rogers's poem. The first line had the words. ’The hours I spent with thee, dear heart.' •Hiese words aroused the Imagination of the composer; the melodic though came to him. The next day he handed the manuscript, with a note, to hie wife. The note read: ’Just a little •?UVwe£,r*° {ft you know how I thank le boh Dieu for giving me you. The

entire love and devotion of Ethelbert Nevln.’ The emotional fervor of this song the rich, modem quality of the Uanporiee, that support the vote»; and the dramatic maimer m which the text ia set, have won It a lasting place In the repertory and in the affections of the public." — From "The Lure of Music," by Olln Downs.

Leoncavallo tells a very amusing story of himself. One day when vlalt- Ing a town in Italy be heard that hla opera. "Pagliacci. ” was to be produced, and he decided to hoar it as it was not generally known that' the young composer was In town. It happened hla seat was beside a bright- eyed and enthusiastic young lady, who noticing that he did not join in the general applause, but remained quiet, turned to him and asked:

^aw,? D~,tLeoncavallo, much amused, aeawar-

ed: "No. on the contrary*, it displeases me. it is the work of a mere begin­ner. not to call him anything worse."

“Then you are ignorant of music," she said.

"Oh. no." repljed the composer. Then he proceeded to enlighten on the sub­ject. proving the music worthless and entirely without originality.

' See." said he. “this motif is”—and he hummed lightly a short melody ; "This aria ia stolen from Maet.**m}’ that is from Beethoven:" In short, he tore the whole opera into pieces.

His neighbor sat In silence, but with an air of pity on her countenance. At the close she turned to him. and said. *T* What you have said to me your honest opinion ?"

“Entirely so," was the reply."Good." said she, and with a mali­

cious -gleam in her eyes left the thea­tre. Next morning, glancing over his paper, his eye fell upon the heading. “Leoncavallo on his Pagliacci,*" and reading further was somewhat startled to find the conversation of the evening before fully reported and accredited to the proper source.

He had unfortunately played his little Joke on a reporter, who proved too smart for him.

Tuesday at Joint Luncheon

A movement Is under way to arrange & conference on- primary education at some centre in Canada in the near future. The object of such conference is to consider the best means of util­izing the schools all over the Dominion for the production of a higher type of citizenship, national character and national unity. Such a conference would be attended by prominent educa­tionalists of Canada, Great Britain and probably the United States, to discuss the best methods of promoting the ideals of national citizenship and character.

Details of the foregoing project will be outlined in an address which the Rev. E. Italie Ptdgcon will deliver at a Joint luncheon of the Rotary and Canadian Clube at the Empress Hotel on Tueeday. The guest of the t organisations is well known on the Pacific Coast as an able and forceful speaker, having become especially well known to Vancouver audiences during his five years’ charge of St. John’s Presbyterian Church which terminated in 1918. In that year he moved to Winnipeg, where he Is now pastor of St. Augustine’»

The meeting had been arranged by J. C. McIntosh. M.P., and the following strongly represented the need o^arrying forward this work: Dr. TolmiPTM.P.; R. H. Pooley. M.P.P.; Mayor Todd, A. W. McCurdy, G. M. Tripp. Superintendent of the B. C. Electric Railway; Joshua Klnghiun. of Board of Trade, and Messrs. Bard and Elheon. delegates from Port Renfrew. It was represented that this road had been promised the settlers twqnty-five years ago, and would now be of service, in both marine, mining and agricul­tural interests of a large district, which with We exception of one mail boat service every ten days, has no other means of communication. The distance most urgently needed is only twenty- six miles, and It is considered a wagon road could be built for one hundred thousand dollars.

Dr. King said they had plenty of data on the subject, and he would have the matter looked Into. He could not promise that the work could be done, as no funds were at present available. But he considered it was one of those works that should be carried out in the near future, and be would do his best in hie official capacity to repre­sent the case in all Its bearings, for the needs of the district and its future development

CIVIL SERVANTS IS

ederation of Branches Agreed Upon at Last Night's

Gathering

Under the chairmanship of T. Barn- ford, of the Surveyor-General’s De­partment, last night's gathering of the membèrs of the Provincial Civil Ser­vice at Belmont House re&Aied a un­animous decision to organize them­selves into the Provincial Civil Ser­vice Association of British Columbia, with aims and objects as outlined in these columns yesterday.

Following an explanation' from the Vancouver delegation the original in­tentions of the committee, to whose charge preliminaries had been en­trusted. were somewhat altered In view of the fact that the members of the Service in the Terminal City bad already an organisation of their own virtually constituting a Vancouver branch. Victoria Is, therefore, to con­stitute itself a Victoria branch while last night's meeting agreed upon steps towards the formation of an organiza­tion to be Province wide, each branch Joining to comprise the whole.

An Affiliation Snag.In the draft constitution,, to whlcbA

extended reference was made in last night's Issue of The Times, provision was made empowering the affiliation ef -the ÇiyW Servant» Assqciatttm, with, any legally organised body possessing a similar objective. It developed that the affiliation clause ytas responsible for exhaustive disc union between the Deputy Ministers and Heads of De­partments at yesterday morning's con­ference at the Parliament Buildings, and objection was taken by a number of the members of the Service on the ground that there was a possible loop­hole for afftitattcm with labor coupled by the attendant provision of machin­ery for the submission of a strike pro­posal at some future date.

Law Officers’ Amendment.And here It might be permitted to

record the fact that unlike inaugural meetings of a like nature, the Provin­cial Civil Service Association scores an advantage in that Us membership may boast of a galaxy of legal talent.It was the affiliation point that prompted F. J. Slack poo le. K. C. Registrar-General of Titles, _ to pro pas»! and lURi* iajwidtdwlliiSolicitor, to second, an amendment thereto.

The counter proposal was to the effect that In addition to barring reli­gious and political subjects from dis­cussion by the organisation, strikes should be included. Despite the obvi­ous cleavage of opinion on the subject, however, keen discussion resulted In the rejection of the limitation amend ment sponsored by the legal numbers Overwhelming majority had it that the clause should stand in its original form as follows: "Matters of a rail glous and political nature are not to be discussed at meetings of this Asso- ^ elation."

Officers Elected.L B. McNeill. Auditor of Revenue,

was chosen as President of the Vic­toria branch; A. Man son, Chief En­gineer, Vice-President. Geo. Pit­men, Department of Agriculture, Sec­retary-Treasurer. An executive com­mittee was appointed as follows: Messrs. deN. Walker, Stokes, Me Ken- Me, Young and Mise Jaegers.

So that an amicable arrangement may be arrived at between the rank and file members and the Deputies and Departmental heads a suggestion from President McNeill that a confer­ence between the two elements of the Service be held was endorsed. A re solution approving a federation of all local branches was passed.

Provincial Federation. -Following the organisation of the) VI

Victoria branch a conference was held between the newly-elected executive of that body and the Mainland depu­tation. at which steps were taken to perfect the Provincial federation. The deputation from the Mainland waa composed of J. A. McLean, President Of the Vancouver branch; W. O. B. Thompson, Secretary; Messrs. Bridg­man, Matheeon and Mrs. Fred Patter­son, all of Vancouver, and J. W. Nel­son and A. H. Mogridge, of New West­minster.

OR. ALFRED STANSFIELD REPORTS ON FEASIBILITY

OF ELECTRICAL SMELTINGProcess Is Possible for British Columbia: Recom

mends Development of Best Iron Deposits, Reser­vation of Wafer Power, Plant for Charcoal Pro­duction; Docum-nt Is Mine of Information

ONE OF MOST DOMINANT FACTORS ISQUESTION OF CHEAP POWER AT ONCE

AUTHOR OF REPORTtermine her In Bi

After prosecuting exhaustive investigations in British Columbia and in California relative to the commercial feasibility of the electric smelting of iron ores in this Province, Dr. Alfred Stansfield, Professor of Metallurgy at McOill University, Montreal, has now rendered his compute report to the Hon. William Sloan, Minister of Mines, at whose instigation and enterprise the inquiry was conducted. Dr. Stansfield devoted himself to the investigation of the subject in this Province from June 10 until July 13 of last year, fourteen days of which were occupied in a visit to Hsroult, California, for the purpose of ascertaining the progress made in electric smelting in that local­ity. A visit to Hanaimo to inspect a process for the ..production of charcoal was also undertaken during the period named. Depart

— mental officials as well aa the Minis­ter himself rendered every posable aid to the eminent expert by the provision

_ of tabulated data Intimately associated with . the subject under investigation, while Dr. /Stansfield conferred with power companies in Vancouver re­garding the supply of cheap electric power. And after taking into consid­eration each element of cost and the mqét efficient methods for smelting Iron ores under the conditions existing

/In British Columbia, he comes to the y conclusion that electric smelting

would be possible here.Important Conclusions.

The document itself is an extremely lengthy one, that section of it released by the TTôn' wmfa'm SThah Tor puBTT- ratton this morning, however, consti­tutes tile less technical conclusions ar­rived at by Dr. Stansfield. which go to show the exact position In British Co­lumbia with regard to the electric smelting process. At the outset the professor declares that it may be late­ly assumed that There are adequate supplies of ore of reasonable richness and purity at easily accessible points In British Columbia. The ores in ques­tion are chiefly magnetites and, on

.....this account, are undesirable for usein the blast furnace except in admix­ture with other ores. Nevertheless, he states, magnetites are quite suit­able for treatment in the electric fur­nace. Dr. Stansfield explains that the

Charcoal Requirements ,» Twenty to twenty-five ton* of char­

coal daily. Dr. Stansfield estimates, would Ik- needed for an output of fifty tons of pig iron. But in view of the large amount of wood waste broduyeU at some of the larger mills he states that it is considered reasonable that* a Well designed charring plant could be erected that would utilize this waste material and deliver charcoal to the smelter at a cost of from $8 to $8 per

D«miii%n Government’s Offer As to the Dominion Government's

offer to purchase the surplus produc­tion of a Britiiih Columbia smelter for a period of three years "at the market price," Dr. Stansfield shares the same apprehension as that experienced by others interested in this i «articular de velopment tn British c’oltunbia. and says in his report : “The offer is ob­viously of no use if the price referred to is that obtaining in Eastern Canada, as iron could not he made at that price.

HON. WILLIAM SLOAN, MINISTER OF MINES

w‘ Since he accepted the portfolio of Minister of Mines, Mr. Sloan has demon­strated the keenest possible practical Interest in the development of the latent ore bodies of the Province. As the father of the Bounty Act of 1018 he gave tangible proof of his desire to see Government aid directed towards the stimu­lation of the Iron and steel Industr* in British Columbia. His recommendation |0 the Cabinet that Dr. Stansfield be retained to inquire Into the commercial

rihuity of the electric smelting of Iron ores in this Province was enthusi- aatically commented upon by the mining world generally. And although the report now received by Mr Sloan is not without reservations, the fund of valu­able information supplied will show clearly what lines are to be taken in order that British Columbia may derive Immediate benefit from her large iron deposits.

as low as 0.1 per cent. The ores under consideration are also practically free from copper, he says.

Can Be Smelted Electrically The ITofessor makes reference to

the fact that officials of the Depart­ment of Mines estimate that a supply of 60.000 tons per annum of ore of this grade earn be delivered at a . «niable smelter site. From information at hla disposal, he Is also satisfied that these ores can be smelted electrically for the production of a high grade pig Iron He acknowledges the fortunate circum­stance that British Columbia la well supplied with water powers, many of which he considers can be developed cheaply for the use of electric smelting and similar industries.ÆTÆïï.isntheee iwwere le aceeeelWe leealle ran be drr.loped at each »«•*-"> laid a continuel» electrical hoi lower for amfltlng at a coat of lie par annum. This figure, he points out. Is not much higher thaa obtaln. In fcwadae. and It a dependable supply eg

would be limited to the local demand for iron, as it would be impossible to buy expensive iron in British Colum­bia and ship it to lower priced markets elsewhere.”

The Provincial Bounty.Passing on to' the provisions of the

Bounty Act o? British Columbia, in- t-m, William iMoan

and enacted at the 1818 session of the Legislature, Dr. Stansfield says: “The Provincial Government has offered a bounty of $3 per net ton of pig Iron made In British Columbia from local ores, and on the other hand Imposes a tax of 37 ft cents uet ton ,of ore mined. The combined effect of these measure* will be a payment of about 12.80 per gross ton of pig ln»n: source; of income which wUU bs of some working Importance, and may hornet lines msjte the difference be tween working at a loss and a profit."

His Recommendations.Dr. Stansfield estimates that the

cost, of making a long Urn of pig iron in the simple electric plant which he

describes, with power costing $16 per horse-power-year, would be $29.75.

His recommendationa therefore, are: (a) To develop-ene er morn of the best iron ore deposits and to make complete tests of the ore;(b) To reserve suitable water power for future development; (e)To establish a plant far the econo­mic production of charcoal from mill waste; (d) To investigate the new process for the production of electric pig iron—of which he gives a general description in the appended report—and if this is found satisfactory to begin im­mediately I to produce pig iron, purchasing power for this purpose until the water power cSn be de* H

Ivelaped. ■;Full Test of Report.

At the coiiimeneement of his find­ings Dr. Stansfield makes graceful .vkimwledgement to. the officials of the various companies whose time, at-

lon and informal Ion were willing - extended for the purpose of the In -

igation with which he was charged. In view of the fact that the subject is one of vital importance, to the ITovlnce" of British Columbia, and that the reputation of Dr. Stansfield is one of international concern, the re­port is retained In Its original first person style and follows hereunder in full :

The object of this Investigation and report is to determine the commercial feasibility of smelting electrically the magnetite ores of British Columbia. For this purpose I obtained information with regard to the supply of iron ores, electrical power, charcoal, labor and other necessaries.

Early In the Investigation It appeared that electric power might In* obtained at such a price that electric smelting by the methods now in use would be commercHgly possible. I therefore In­vestigated and discussed carefully the type of furnace and design of plant that would best suit the local require­ments. and prepared estimates for the cost of such a plant and of making jjttg iron on a scale determined by the present requirement» of the province.

It new appears that electric power cannot, at present, be obtained at prices that will permit of the use of the usual electric smelting methods. But I am presenting the results of my In­vestigation along these line* because they are needed to show that the pro­cess described would he too costly with power at this higher price, and because It is possible that, in the future, power may be available at a lower price, which would then permit of operations being undertaken.

Many Dependent Factors.In view of the very high price asked

for electric power I have paid special attention to a new process for inroduc- ing electric furnace Iron which offers possibilities of a decided economy as compared with standard methods. I have presented the available informa­tion and made estimates of the cost at whicli iron may possibly be smelted bar:theee means.

The whole investigation Is neces­sarily very extensive, and it ix a m il ter of some difficulty even to present the result» in a clear ami simple man ner; especially as each conclusion ar­rived at. is dependent on a number of factors which cannot be stated in a few words, and many of-which are li­able to change. The information ob­tained is set forth and discussed in detail in a number of appendices; while the conclusions arrived at are presented as concisely us possible in the following report.

Electric Smelting sf Iron Ore.This has passed <he experimental

stage and Is in operation commercially large scale In Sweden and else­

where. The product of this operation Is a special quality of high grade iron which commands a higher price than ordinary blast furnace Iren, and the cost of production is in general too high to allow of competition at equal prices with the blast furnace product. Carbonaceous material Is needed, even In electrical furnaces, for reducing the iron ore to metal, and for this purpose charcoal is preferable and Is generally

The electric furnace that has been adopted for the commercial smelting of pig iron is that of Electro-Metals, Ltd., of Sweden, which may be regarded ns the standard. The pig Iron normally produced from this furnace, although unusually pure and commanding lugh price, is a white, or low si lit iron, unsuitable for use lei the li foundry.

Facilities in British Columbia.The essential conditions for the elec­

tric smelting of Iron ores on a commer­cial scale are: A supply of high grade ores at a reasonable price, an ample supply of cheap electric power, a sup­ply of charcoal or other fuel at a mod­erate price, a supply of labor at a moderate price, a suitable location for the smelting plant and a sufficient market for the resulting iron at a rather high price.

The situation m British Columbia may be considered under these separate Mtdi u followr

Iron Ores—The information furnished to me by your officials shows that the iron ore deposits of the province have not been opened up to any extent, but that it is safe to assume that adequate supplies of ore of reasonable richness and purity can be obtained at easily accessible points. These ores are chiefly magnetite* and, on this account, are undesirable for use in the blast furnace except in admixture with other ores. Magnetites are. however, quite suitable for treatment In the electric furnace.

Percentage of Iron;It appears that the ores are not of

very hlglf grade, but that a supply may be expected to contain from 60 per cent to 66 per cent, of iron. The Sfre phactlCally free from phosphorus and titanium and the proportion of sul­phur can probably be kept as low" as 0.1 per cent. The ores under consider ation ant also practically free copper. Tour officials estimate that a supply of 50,080 tons per annum of ore of this grade can be delivered at a suitable smelter sRe at a cost, under present conditions, of about $4.00 per net ton. which would he made up as

posai 1 feel satisfied that these ores can In* smelted electrically for the production of a high grade pig iron For the production of one long if) ton of pig iron about 2.0 net tons of 55 per cent, ore would be needed, so that

for a daily production of fifty tons of pig iron.

Fig Iron Wanted Now.In view of the desirability of pro­

ducing pig Iron at the earliest possible time, and of the difficulty and ex­pense attending the development of water powers under present conditions, it is highly desirable. If not Imperative, that an electric smelting industry shall be supplied. In the first place, from powers that are already developed. The British Columbia Electric Railway Company has surplus power which might be employed for this purpose, and 1 gathered from the officials of thlo Company that they could possi­bly supply such power ft! $15 per horse- !>ower-year, a charge which ap­peared to me to be the highest that the industry could support. Under these conditions the coot for power per ton of pig iron would be between 18 and $7.60.

Vancouver Price Too High.Since returning to Montreal I have

received a letter, dated September 12. from the General Manager of this Company, Informing me that condi­tions have changed since my visit, and that they would now have (o charge higher rates. They would be willing to make short term contracts for from 2.000 K.VV. to 10.000 K.W. of electric power in Vancouver district, for,..re­stricted service during the peak, load period*, at a rate of 0.5 cent per K.W. hour. This charge would amount in effect to at least $27.80 per horse­power-year, and would represent a ahasge of per ton »l

They wouldr-ahKTOffer 2,000 K.W. of power on Vancouver Island at $15 per horse-power-year for a short term and subject to peak load restriction. The proposed charge in Vancouver is, I believe, altogether too high to al­low of the commercial production of pig Iron by present methods, except perhaps on a small scale as a tempor­ary operation to take advantage of the present -Mg* prtcéeof- IRtr Bvi supply on Vancouver Island, besides Its uncertainty. Is too small to i-ermit of profitable operation.

low grade of the ore. the cost of smelt­ing,| per ton of product, will be rather

“higher than Is usual with the Swedish ores, but this may perhaps be remedied by the use of magnetic concentration.

Electric Power.British C’olumiba is well provided

with water powers, and many of these can be developed cheaply for the use of electric smelting and similar indus­tries Competent engineers have as­sured me that some of these powers in accessible locations can be developed at such a c«**t JUB Ïo^IéId ’ a 'l^îitIfiÜ- ous electrical horse-power for smelting at a cost of $10 per annum. This figure is not much higher than obtains in Sweden. and If a dependable supply of power can be secured at this rate It seems almost certain that an elec­tric, smelting industry can be under­taken profitablyi The ‘conütitnptTdlt " of power, under conditions obtaining in British Columbia, would be between 0.4 and 0.6 of a horse-power-year per ton of iron produced; so that the cost for power should be between $4 and $6 per long ton of pig iron. Some 8.000 or 9.000 horse-power would be needed

(•) Using a royalty In this estimate re­moves the need of considering the pur­chase of an iron mine.

(t) Long and-Short Tons -r-Pig iron is sold by the long or gross ton of 2.240 lbs. not only In England and Canada, but in the United States, and I have conformed with this custom In my report The sup­plies needed for smelting, such as iron ore charcoal, coal and coke, are sold In British Columbia by the short or net ton of 2.«00 lbs... and the use of this dual sys­tem has necessarily complicated the cal­culations in this report The situation Is further complicated because, in Govern­ment reports, pig Iron Is estimated by the short ton. and in regard to pig iron quo­tations In British Columbia, II Is some­times difficult to say which ton is intend­ed. In Sweden a more consistent system is followed, as the pig Iron and all the necessary supplies are measured by the metric ton «TtrOOO kilograms or 2.204 ibe This Tdh; Whieb may be assumed' In all statements of the «teetro-Metitio Com­pany. of that country, can be taken, with­out serious error, to be the same aa the

generally used, although coke is gm- ployed to some extent Charcoal*!® pre­ferable to coke ou account of Its greater purity, as a higher grade of pig iron can be obtained by its use. The use of charcoal is more satisfac­tory also from ap operating point of view, and the consumption of power Is greater when coke is employed, a pro­portion of coke can. however, be used without difficulty In admixture with charcoal The consumption of char­coal varies with the grade of iron re­quired. and the type of furnace em­ployed,-from ebeol a 4* te Ojk wat ton*, of charcoal per long ton of pig iron, so that 20 or 25 tons of charcoal would be needed daily, for an output of 50 tons of pig. '

Facilities far Charcoal Production.In the coast districts of British Co­

lumbia there is an abundant supply of timber from which charcoal can be made suitable for use in electric smelt­ing. At present there Is no considerable charcoal industry. and the small quantities now obtainable cost much as $30 per ton. a figure which would be prohibitive for the electric smelting of Iron ores. In view, how­ever. of the large amount of waste wood produced at some of the large saw mills. R appears reasonable to sup­pose that a well designed charring plant can be erected, that would util­ise this waste material and deliver charcoal to the smelter at a cost of from $6 to $8 per net ton; estimated on the following basis :2Vfc cords of Douglas fir mill

I consider, however, that the Electric-Metals furnace could be used for this purpose, because any low sili­con Iron could be made suitable for foundry use by additions.of ferre sUi-

to warraht the use of elaborate methods for their recovery. Charcoal should therefore be made in large kilns, or in some appliance which might be devised to char the wood waste with the minimum amount of hand labor. In either case a partial recovery of by-products could be made at a moderate expense.

It does not appear that coke can be produced from British Columbia coals at a price that would be as low as that of charcoal; and unless the coke was decidedly the cheaper per ton It would be more economical to use charcoal. Coke braise, however, can probably be obtained for a very nominal charge, and can be used in admixture with charcoal In cases where extreme pur­ity of the pig iron is not desired.

Labor Situation.The Department of Labor has fur­

nished me with a statement of the sup­ply. nature and cost of labor In British Columbia, from which it appears that laborers are fairly plentiful and re ceive nearly $4.00 a day. and that most skilled, men are scarce at about $8.00 a day. The cost of labor, per ton of product, will depend very largely on the sise and output of the plant and the nature of its equipment ; but It ap­pears that in a fully-equipped plant making about fifty tons of pig iron dally, besides steel and ferro-alloys, the cost of labor might be from $4.00 to $5.00 per ton of Iron; although, in the Initial stages, the labor cost would certainly be higher, perhaps in the order of $7.00 per ton of Iron.

plant located near a centre of popu­lation, such as Vancouver, would have advantages with respect to labor and general supplies- and nearness to mgr» keta. but the provision of tfn adequate

nd cheap supply of electric power, iron ore and charcoal, should be the determining consideration.

Markets.For the purpose of this report I have

limited my investigation to the market British Columbia Itself, though i

moderate export market may be de eloped later. The present consump­

tion of pig iron Is only about ten tons daily, but it appears that the consump­tion has been seriously limited by the extremely high prices now ruling, and

u a supply of iron, become® * vail- able at a moderate price, a consump­tion of twenty or thirty tons may be expected. This amount is too «null to permit of economical operational n-I I wouldrtfre<efore recommend if/usuit­able, supply ©f electric power can be obtained, that a plant be constructed to1 produce saÿ twenty-five tons daily of foundry iron Tor sale; and a further

enty-Ave or thirty tons of low sili­con iron for conversion into steel, have not investigated the market for steel in any detail, but apparently sufficient market for this product 0041Id be found.

The prices of foundry Iron In Van­couver have varied recently from about $60 to $80 per long ton Before the war the price was around $25. It seems unlikely that the price for good foundry iron will fall much below $35

long ton during the next few years, most localities, electric smelting

lepends for Its commercial possibility on obtaining for its product a higher price than that of ordinary foundry ron. 1 find that at present there is

scarcely any demand in British Colum Ida for such special grades of Iron, but there can be no doubt that they will be needed In the future, as the Iron and steel industry develops.

Competition.The market prices already mentioned

jh obtaining in British Columbia, are based on the preseat sources of sup­ply from eastern points in Canada and the United States. It is possible that an iron blast furnace plant nuky be es tablished on the Pacific Coast of the United States, and the effect of this on the market in British Columbia must be considered. It appears that pig iron could be made In such a plant at a cost of about $25 per long ton. un der present conditions. The duty of pig iron entering Canada from the States Is $2.80 per long ton plus 7H per cent, ad valorum, which, at a sale nice of $30 per ton. would amount to 12.25 per long ton. or a total charge of

about $5.00. This duty, together with the freight charge and the Canadian bounty, would place the electric fur­nace iron. If made with $15.00 power, on an equality with Imported blast furnace Iron.

This would not hold, however, in the ise of iron imported for war work,

as this is duty free, and after the war the duly of 7% ad valorem will no doubt be removed. In this connection it may be added that a large iron and steel plant can scarcely be built until some years after the war. so that an electric furnace plant, if constructed promptly, would command the market lor a number of years. Ultimately, blast furnace iron may be expected to Like at least a part of the market for common grades of Iron, but the elec trie furnace should always be able to command a smaUpmarket for its higher grade of iron.

The Federal Arrangement.A deputation from British Co

hitnbi» went to Ottawa early in the present year, seeking for aid to de velop an - iron Industry In British Co lumbia. In answer to their request the Dominion Government undertook for a period of three years, to purchase If necessary, at market prices, the whole output of a plant making pig iron in British Columbia. This agree­ment will no doubt apply equally to electric furnace Iron, but it does not appear to me that It is likely to help matters materially, for the following

Rome times make the difference be tween operating at a loss and at à profit.

Type of Furnace to Use.A point of considerable Importance

to this investigation is the determin­ation of the moat suitable type of elec­tric furnace. This' is important not only for the guidance of those who may ufidertake the establishment of an electric smelting plant in British Columbia, but also in order to arrive at reasonably accurate figures for the coat of the plant and the cost per ton of the products. In outline the Situa­tion is substantially as follows:

1. In Hweden the firm of Electro- Metals (of Ludvika and London), has developed a type of*electric smelting furnace which has proved very satis­factory for the production of low silicon pig iron from the Swedish ores. There are now seventeen of these furnaces at work in Sweden, ranging in sise from 2,000 K.W. to 6.000 K.W.. and a few in Norway, Switserland and Japan. This is, as far a* 1 41m aware, the only type of electric furnace that has ever attained commercial success in. the production of pig. iron from iron ores.

_ Modus Opersndi. —: . j.The furnace is circular In plan and

Is provided with a tall stack in which the Ore is preheated and partially re­duced before It enters the smelting chamber. This reduction of the ore is aided by a mechanical circulation of the furnace gases, which are with­drawn from the top of the shaft, freed from dust, and then blown through

' tuyeres Into the smelting chamber above the ore. The gases become heat ed at this point and passing up the shaft they heat and reduce the ore. The circulation of the gases also serves to cool and protect the arch of 4he smelting chamber, but on 'the other hand it increased, slightly, the con­sumption of the electrodes.

On account of these special features, the Electro-Metals furnace uses bo mew hat less charcoal than a simpler type of furnace, a difference of say 1-10 ton per ton of pig iron, and It is be­lieved to use less power. The saving in charcoal is probably more than off­set by the need of a better quality of charcoal, which is rendered necessary by the use of a tall shaft It must be noted, however, that the usual product of the Electro-Metals furnace is a white pig iron suitable for chilled cast­ings or for steel making, while -the need in British Columbia would be largely for a foundry iron. There does not appear to be any evidence that the Swedish furnaces have been used regularly for the production of foundry Iron, and there seems to be some doubt regarding their suitability for this pur-

in California.2. An Independent development of

electric iron smelting took place at Herouit, Fhâsta County, California, where a deposit of very pure magnetite has been smelted electrically, by the Noble Electric Steel Company, for the production of foundry iron. Operations were started in 1607 by the late Dr. Herouit. who built a simple rectangu­lar fui*nace, having an arched roof, and o>e chutes in which the charge could be "preheated. As this furnace did not provq* satisfactory,* a shaft furnace of the Swedish type was tried.

This was also unsatisfactory and the management rèverted to the rectangu­lar type with arched roof and with charging chutes, in which, however, the ore was not preheated. It was claimed at the time (1613) that suc­cess had been obtained with this fur­nace. but nothing further was pub­lished about it. and 1 find that its use was discontinued about four years ago. The plant is at present employed solely for the production of ferro alloys, be­cause the price now charged for elec­tric power, the cost of charcoal and the. cost at transportation sre wM so high as to render iifipoKSltrte thd com­mentai production of pig iron. I am of the opinion that we cannot accept the work at Herouit as an argument for or against the type of furnace that was used there.

Another Furnace.8. Another furnace 0» the closed

rectangular type was devised by Hel- fenstejn for the production of calcium carbide and ferro silicon. A Helfen- steln furnace for smelting Iron ores was being tried at Domnarfvet In Sweden at the time of my viait in 1614. At that time the management was un­willing to give any information about ltd operation. An account published a year or two later stated that this furnace was working satisfactorily, but Messrs. Electro-Metals now Inform

me that “the furnace was fotind quite useless an<| has been pulled out"

4. For the production of ferrosillcon, ferromanganese and oalolnm carbide, a simple rectangular open-topped fur­nace has been developed, and Is In use at many places. In this furnace, no at­tempt Is made to preheat the ore, and the -gases, produced In the furnace, es­cape and are lost; besides creating a nuisance by burning above the fur­nace. On the other hand, the furnace is easy to build, simple to operate and Is probably not far inferior to the Swedish furnace in commercial effi­ciency. I am not aware that this fur­nace has been uaed commertcally for making pig iron, but there can be no doubt that pig iron of any desired var­iety could be made In It The Beckman A Linden Engineering Corporation, of San Francisco, who are using it for ferro- manganese, consider that It would be preferable to the Swedish furnace for making pig Iron, and that it would be little if. any inferior in point of economy.

Conclusions.1. If a permanent smeUlng plant

were, being erected, the Swedish type of furnace wquld be selected, because It is »moru economical than any other at present In use, and is the only qne that has been employed commercially.

2. If a temporary plant la contemp­lated, it may be better to install the open pit furnace, on account of its smaller first cost and the ease with which It could be converted to otherUT* Information should be obtained with regard to the Ison ore production process of Trood A Darrah, as this may prove superior to any direct •melting process. If this process is likely to be available, it will he best In the meantime to use a simple pit furnace, rather than to Install the more elaborate Swedish furnace.

Cost ef ProductionIn order to arrive at an approxim­

ate estimate of the cost ot smelting iron ores, it Is necessary. In the first place, to decide upon the scale of op­eration. In view of the local market and other considerations, which I dis cuss elsewhere, 1 suggest the follow Ing equipment as being suitable for an electric smelting plant in British Col­umbia, providing that the usual elec­tric smelting methods are adopted.

W. each, making together about 60 tons of steel.

Cost of Plant1 design and cost of such a plan sussed In the appendix. As. how

Theis discussed ever, it would be very difficult to use so complicated a plant as a basis for estimating the. cost of making pig iron, I shall consider, for this pur pose, a jfiant of about equal sise, de voted entirely to the production of foundry iron. In so doing I am nvak ing the assumption, which will not be very far wrong, that the cost of mak­ing pig Iron in the simple plant will afford a fairly correct idea of the cost of making it in the complex plant, outlined above, which would be suited to the local requirements.

The simple plant, assumed for pur­poses of calculation only, would con­sist of three electric smelting furnaces of 3.000 K.W. each, producing alto­gether about 80 tons of pig iron daily. The cost of such g plant, and of smelt­ing iron in It will depend #on the type of furnace employed? The most econotn leal furnace, as far as my Information goes, is that of the Electro-Metals Company, and 1 give In the first place an estimate based upon Its use.

An electric iron-smelting plant of this type, containing three 3,000 K.W furnaces, would cost from $350,000 to 1400,000 to erect in British Columbia (details are given in the appendix) and should have a production of 27,000 long tons of foundry iron per annum.

Coe* of Eleetri* Smelting The cost of making a tong ton -of

foundry pig Iron, in such a plant, would be estimated as follows; assuming that power can be obtained at $16.00 per horse-power-year: —

Boxes Ointment.IMbb Ushlag 00 back of neck.

After three weeks got flaky and be­came sore. Was red and scratching caused sleepless nights. Got Cutkura Soap and Ointment. Itching not so bad after using them. Now healed. From signed statement of Mrs. Wil­liam Quigley. Windsor, N. *

If Cuticora did no more than soothe and heal eczemas, rashes, kchings and burnings, bringing speedy comfort to tortured, disfigured men, women and children it would be entitled to the highest praise. But It does mors. By using the Soap exclusively for toilet purposss, allowing no other soap to touch your skin, you will in many cases prevent these distressing axprrinpcae.

coat of a ton of pig iron would $27.66. If power were to eoet 6,6 per cent per K.W. hour, the charge for power would be apout $12.66 and the total cost of a (bn of pig Iron would be $35.50.

Eleborete Appliance In regard to these figures It should

)’ stated that the Bleetro-Metale tw­ice is a somewhat elaborate appll- ice, and that a plant with furnace*

of this type should not be constructed unless a permanent supply of cheap power can be assured. This Is not so much because of the cost of construc­tion, which may not be more, per ton of yearly product than that of u plant with the simplest type of furnace, but because of the furnace, and the build­ing containing it, are entirely special­ised, and would be of no use for anyother purpose......... ~*~

If for any reason, it should be de­cided to erect a plant with an expen­sive or a temporary source of power.It would be desirable to arrange for a plant of the type in "use for making ferro alloys as the furnace, and plant generally, could readily converted to other purposes., if at any time it be-

inadvisable to make pig iron. With this simpler type of furnace the, •out of making pig iron would probably he about $5.00 higher, per ton. than the above estimates ; thus the cost of a ton of pig iron would be $36.06 per ton. if power cost $15.60 per horse-power- year, and would be more than $40.00 per ton with power costing 0.6 cent per kilowatt hour.

The following table will give an Idea of the distribution of costs under these conditions: —

$40.60The prices obtained for pig iron in

British Columbia during the last year or two have t>een considerably higher than this, but it does not seem safe to count on a price of more than about $36 a ton during the next few years, no that minting iron under these con­dition* would appear to be out of the question.Magnetic Concentration ef Iron Ores As the cost of smelting iron ore is

greater, per ton of thé product, with poor ores than with rich ores, and as the ores in British Columbia are only expected to conUtihuM- tft-66 per cent, of iron, with about 23 to 30 per cent, of gangue, it is worth considering whether it will pay to concentrate the ore pre­paratory to smelting. Until adequate samples of the ores have been obtained, analysed and submitted to magnetic concentration. It is impossible to die

this subject except in generalterrds.

1. if the ore is Of such a nature that aftfer breaking down to a else of about one inch the ore can be concentrated

net ically so as to reject a large part of the gangue it will usually pay to do this before smelting.

2. If the ore is so finely grained that It is necessary to crush It to a sand before magnetic dressing, there will be Involved the cost of the fine crushing and also the cost of briquetting sintering the concentrates te m them suitable for smeltfog.'

2. In the case of an ore that does not contain over 60 per cent, of Iron, if the ore lends itself readily to magnetic concentration so that very fine grind­ing is unnecessary and a clean sépara tion can be obtained, the saving In the cost of smelting will probably pay for the cost of crushing, magnetic di ing, and sintering with sawdust on a Dwight-Lloyd machine. The ore will Incidentally be Improved by the moval of phosphorus and sulphur, and will t>e left In a condition more favor­able for smelting.

0. If preliminary reduction of the ore is employed, the ore will have to be crushed to a coarse powder, and magnetic concentration will then form

essential step In the process; being applied either before or after the re­ducing opetstibn. -.■■■-*+—«

Auxiliary industries _ .On account of the limited market

for pig Iron in British Columbia. It will be impossible to conduct at a profit a plant producing nothing but pig Iron. By Including In the filant the produc­tion of steel and ferro alloys, the plant win be more likely to pay.

RAINING SHOTS ON LEHMANAristocrats Delight Home Supporters, Although the Million - aires Repeated SÔbre at Vancouver Rink:

Victorians’ Fine Display

Lehman'® custodianship- of the Millionaires- net at' the Arena here last bight was a triumph for himself and salvation for the puckchasers from the Terminal City. Even the most ardent fan who came over from the Mainland to Witness his favorites do battle against the Aristocrates would not object to Victoria's claim to at iea«J seventy-five per cent of the game, although Vah- couver got the decision by 4-L Making use of each lull in the Aristocrates' avalanche attacks the MllUohairea were not lacking and four goals were the result of brilliant dashes at the psychologlcaf moment.

Shot after shot were rained on Lehman, but on no occasion did his Judgment err; on the other hand Mur­ray had very little chance to save the

'home septette. There was no com­parison between thé Aristocrats’ ag­gregation which lined up against the Mets a week ago Last night's dis­play was real hockey. The checking Was well nigh perfect, while the dash And combination In their opponents' area tame to naught only in Lehman's tourt.

Tense Excitement.From start to finish the pace was

top notch and on two occasions fisti­cuffs varied the tense excitement. Cy­clone Taylor, who still retains his old prowess, was very carefully blanketed by the home boys, and although there were one or two of his well-known •print* his first goal—with a clinking shot from fair distance—was his best effort. If any of the Aristocrats aggre­gation could be singled out for especial mention the reference would go to Geoge, Barber, Tobin and Dumlerdale;Lester Patrick's team to a man. how­ever, can be depended upon to acquit themselves with credit if last night’s pace and combination Is maintained.

Hockey Booming Again.Four games in ten days has been

Msd.atrjUa ma the puckchasers wear- the Aristocrats" colors, but they

the pace throughout and held •nough in. hand to show play wfiich had the spectators rooting and fell­ing with excitement as they did before hockey In Victoria had to be abandoned for a time to. the disappointment of the

thousands of followers of the game in the city. The Arena was pretty well filled last night, and a good repre­sentation of Mainland supporters were over to cheer the Millionaires. If en­thusiastic fans can help a team the Millionaires have only to make a case for the cups. The home fans were there with their old-time rooting as Victoria made the whirlwind effort of the last period, and it was hockey of the good old days In the city with the rafters ringing, breathless excitement and ear-piercing shouts from the rival boosters.

Taylor Got the Opener.As soon a* Mickey Ian blew the

whistle for the game to start, the home players got away with the puck, and Ernie Johnson and Charlie Tobin had both tested Lehman in the first half minute of the game—the wing man for a couple of efforts—before Taylor got away with one of his lone rushes as far as Johnson and then lost the puck. Immediately after Oenge beat Harris In a lightning first, but the Aristo­crat’s defence man fell before he could get going. While down he managed to get the rubber to Barbour, but Stanley stepped in the way of a hard drive and was racing towards Mur­ray’s end of the Ice when Oat man tieatty took the pack and it tb Tobin. Tobin got passed Stanley and was working Into position for another drive when Stanley got back again. He Just managed to touch the puck, but had to leave It to Macks y to get It clear. Another of the Cyclone’s In­

dividual efforts opened the score, the puck singing along the Ice off Tay­lor’s stick with the speed of a bullet. Mankay. and.-Tobin had a little mlxup. which resulted in the referee putting the former off the ice for three min­utes.

Tobin s Dead Shot.Tobin • tried a daring bluff on Har­

ris, and left the puck to Barbour In a manner that showed the two wing men have a great understanding, and when the black haired speed artists had raced to a good position Barbour put it in the exact line for a shot. Lehman was there like a stone wall. Tobin was a dead shot, time and time again, with all hta weight behind his stock, bqt Lehman was on his knees to them or right in the way every time. Twice Oenge made those rushes down the centre of the rink that set the spectators on their tiptoes with excitement. The first time the pop­ular local boy battled his way through side-stepping four Millionaires out to stop his rush he placed it to Barbour, who shot right away, but Ju»L a few Inches on the wrong side of the post

Good Combination.The next time he fed Barbour again

and some pretty combination between Harbour, Dunderdale and Oat man was spoiled when Cook checked the Vic­toria capthin and cleared the puck. He also got by Mackay and Stanley, and th.* fans were cheering wildly when he sent the puck to Oat man and Eddie beat a couple of Vancouver men and passed to Dunderdale. Dunderdale hooked It in as part of the same move­ment, and simultaneously a resound­ing which announced that Lehman had saved one rising from the ice to the top of his |iads. The hard pace was a bit too much Oat man play­ing his second game In three days after his recent Recovery from the flue, and he took a spell in favor of Loughlin. Mackay got away several times, and showed as much speed as any of the visiting players, but the Moose. Oenge and Loughlin usually stopped him before he got really dang­erous. A couple that he handed out to Murray were capably handled by the young custodian. Taylor, who was off for three minutes marked his re­appearance by testing the Victoria goalkeeper.

A Barege on LehmanOatman came back in the second

period, while Harbor was off. Lough­lin shone in the opening play, which was a repetition of the commencement of the game, a vigorous on.ilaughgt on Lehman. Lx>ughlin eluded Stanley and •ent the puck to Oenge. Dunderdale finished the triangular movement by putting in another ef his lightning left handers, which was stopped at , 4*^,1 man a blades. Loughlin took the puck from Mackay and gave it to Dunder­dale again. A shot from the left at close range found Lehman still secure.

Major PenaltyDunderdale and Stanley collided In

a way that sent Stanley to the ice groaning, but after a few seconds he was up evidently entertaining ideas of rough work from Dunderdale’s stick. He dropped his' stock and squared up to the aristocrat and Mickey Tom had to separate theft» after a few blows had been exchanged. Stanley went off for ten minutes with Duncan replac­ing him after three minutes’ play. Van­couver’s second goal came first, before Duncan took the ice, Mackay finding the net from the right wing Into the corner of the net, with a shot which Tommy did not show hie best form to. (T.05) Harris got a third for Vancou­ver 411.40) with an assist from Tay­lor. Tobin and Loughlin tried to even up the score, the latter booking a hard one in after the bull moose had taken the puck from Mackay and carried It down the Ice. Irving gave Oatman a free face downward* in a manner that put the Mainland player on the bend for three minutes. Poulin and Bar­bour came on for Oatman and Dunder- dateji little, before the, end of the

Pepper Box PopularSkinner got a big reception, and set

out to live up to his reputation. He got one in the direction i of Lehman right away, but the Vancouver goal­keeper had no difficulty with It. and also got the puck from Taylor and Harris when they looked dangerous. Irving came back Just before the whistle blew with Johnson and (lenge on Taylor and Poulin off towards the Seattle goal with the puck.

AMATEUR HOCHEYISTS OPEN RACE MONDAY

Two Games on Schedule for Monday Night at the

Victoria Arena

Monday night sees the opening of the amateur hdekey race with the Elks and Foundation due to open the ball at 7.30 o'clock, and a game between the Senators and Two Jacks to follow. After the second game the spectators will be allowed to take the Ice for skating. Interest is running high In the first games, as ambitious claims are being made by some or the dubs The Foundation (Company are acknow - leged. by those who have seen them practicing to be a speedy septette of amateurs and, to quote the remarks of their own sporting section, was con­sidered in the nature of a dark horse until last Monday night, when Mana­ger Charlie Burnett warmed them up in a fast practice game with George Straith's Senators at the Arena. The spectators concluded right then that they were going to be in the running all right, and the material at hand In­dicates the possibility of more honors for Foundation athletics. It is too soon, to make estimates of the four teams in the league individually, but it Is cer­tain from the present line-up prospects that the series will be of feverish In­terest all the way through. —

The Foundation septette for the opening game will be drawn from the following players: J. Ham. Dudley, Perry. H. Burnett, 8. George. H. W. Smith, C. Burnett, C. Finch and Robertson. Any other hockey players who would like to get out for practice are requested to report to Traffic Chief Charlie Burnett as soon as possible.

The schedule extends over seven weeks, with two games each Monday ntgtit. with a nominal entrance fee which includes skating.

The Two Jacks, managed by O’Brien, is reported to be strong and takes the place of the I.M.B., who dropped out of the competition.

CRICKETERS’ MEETINGIS SET FOR TUESDAY

Cricketers are early beginning to discuss plans for next season, and with the announcement of the annual meet ing of the Victoria and District Cricket League to bo held next Tuesday at Christ Church schoolroom, the entries for next season are being debated. There will probably be entries miss ing from the service men this year, but the rest of the clubs are expected to.be in action again. One breach will probably be filled by the Foundation Company.

There are known to be many good cricketers lit the two yards, and It is believed that the Foundation Athletic Association should be represented by at least one team during the coming cricket season. J. J. Bradford, in the Point Hope yard, is interesting hinpelf in the matter, and players are desired to register with Sandy” Monteith as soon as possible.

Meanwhile it Is hoped that as many as possible of those interested will make f$ a point tp attend the meeting on TtMKSayT Aride iron» me consider­ation of details affecting the coming season, an Important item on the agenda is a discussion of the proposed memorial to the memory of cricketers and footballers who have fallen in the Great War.

Variety—Bryant Washburn In "Skinner's Dress Huit.”

Royal Victoria—W. D. Griffith's “The Great Love."

Oomlnien—"Old Wives for New." ..

ROYAL VICTORIAReferring to the title of "The Croat

Lave" which will be shown at the Royal Victoria for the last, time to­night. David Wark Griffith, the pro­ducer, said In a recent Interview, that It meant many things. It may mean the love of counter, (|i«n again it may be the love of individuals. When Queen Alexandra heard of his project, that of commemorating many of the historic war scenes in England in motion pictures, she was gracious enough to #o to Lady Diana Manners hospital and devote nearly an entire day in arranging hospital scenes shown in the picture and appear in them her­self.

This remarkable photoplay has a deeply interesting love story and tense dramatic momenta. The story has been admirably handled, and most of the players will be remembered for their fine performances which they gave Jn "Heart* of the World," which v\as a recent attraction pt the above

DOMINIONThe late David Graham Phillips,

whose famous work, "Old Wives For New." has Just been translated to the screen, as an Artcraft picture, direct­ed by Cecil B. de Mille, and which will be shown at the Dominion Theatre for the last time to-night, was without doubt one of the most searching writ­ers of present day life. He went be­low the surface, and while the process was at times painful, its realism could not be denied. In its way It Is as big a thing as “The Whispering Chorus" and other de Mille pictures. Many well-known actors, including Theo­dore Roberts, Tully Marshall, Elliott Dexter and Florence Vidor, appear In the cast The principal role of Mur dock falls to Dexter.

Je&nle Macpherson wrote the scen­ario with a selective skill that com inands admiration. TJUe picture is staged with flawless artistry. It is, in short, a picture that proves once again what dramatic knowledge, literary ability and superlative acting may do for the screen.

A two-reel comedy and « weekly make up the balance of a programme that should certainly draw good audi­ences for the last time to-night

~PANTÀGESIn "The Ten Royal Dragoons," the

headline feature for the bill of Pan- tages vaudeville booked for next week, will be found a musical act of striking effect It is in truth a big singing band, bringing along a widely varied and entertaining programme.

The added attraction of the bill will be put on by Walter Fisher and com­pany. presenting a cheerful comedy sketch entitled "Baby Buga" This is Mr. Fisher’s latest laughing success, an uproarous farce, and advance re­port* says it is one of the big hits of the show. In the same category is the offering of Rives and Arnold, two delightful musical comedy stars, in a skit of songs, patter and odd tidbits called "A Big Sale." Miss Arnold is an especially beautiful girl, and is report­ed a charming entertainer.

Another big drawing card will be the sensational performance of Sayoma, the Barcelonlan wonder who doee what he calls a cloud swing. The Durkin Sisters are two pretty girls who will be heard In a repertoire of songs and musical selections, and Sargent and Lewi* are. two men who sing catchy songs and accompany themselves with the guitar and ukulele.

The seventh chapter of "A Fight for Millions" serial motion picture will be the seventh big attraction on this promising programme.

VARIETYWhen Mr. Skinner, an impecunious

bank clerk, purchased a dress suit, little did he dream that later It would be borne by one of the handsomest screen stars and be transported around the eoqntry on a special train. Yet aueh is true, for In the filming of “Skinner's Dross Suit” Bryant Wash- bum's current Essenay feature, which will be shown to-day for the last time at the Variety, a special train was chartered between Chicago and Mil­waukee. Many scenes are aboard a train which was nearly wrecked on its run between Chicago and Milwaukee. Vandals, presumably, opened a switch, which would have hurled the train Into a line of box cars on a siding had It not been for-the alert engineer. Detec­tives advance the theory that high­waymen had committed the depreda­tion in an attempt to wreck and rob a limited train which was due twelve minutes later, though’ no trace of fob - bers could be found.

COLUMBIADoing Europe for three and a half

mont ha on ISO was one of Douglas Fairbanks’» “Blunts" before he under­took to entertain millions of screen fans with his unique feats. Being rob­bed and left alone in.an Arisons des­ert. tn the Triangle pley, -The Limb,” which will be shown on the Columbia screen again to-day, was a compara­tively simple situation, for he couldn’t spend a cent If he had It He did have plenty of excitement however, dis­puting the right of wag with a hun­gry wolf and ether animale, among them a vicious mountain lion.

October a year ago. a handful; of men with level and transit were trudging through a deserted field near the c$ty limits of Detroit. Now and then, as thtfy paused to examine a blue-print they would drive a stake, to mark the site of what was soon to be one of this country's greatest munitions works. Today that field has disappeared and In its place stands a gigantic plant, val­ued at approximately $1Q,000.000. which for months has been making and ship­ping a vital part of the armies’ heavy

At the beginning of the war Dodge Hrolhers had advised the war, depart­ment that their resources were at the

USED MOTOR CARSNOT TO OE DESPISED„ ,_

Business Is Established on High and Firm Basis;

Market Is Good

Used cars are not going to take back seat, and though, through force of circumstances, they naturally fall under the head of “reconstruction*'' It Is not supposed for one instant that the reconstruction period through which the world Is passing will have any derogatory effect on the trade in this class oi machines.

Local firms report that there will al ways be a good demand for used cars, and Cartier Bros., for Instance, are prepared to state from" experience that there is no falling off In the demand for such cars of all makes. It has been, argued that following the cessa lion of hostilities and the release of factories from munition work there would be such a rush of new cars ,on the market that the second-hand article would be virtually relegated te the ■crap-heap.

The war, however, has taught Its les- so i of economy, and owners are not so anxious to look with contempt on a ear four or five years old. Necessity stepped in and demanded that more at

Final Cost CountsIt isn’t a question of price when you’re buying

tires. It’s a question of final cost. Common sense will tell you that high-mileage tires cost less in the end than low-cost tires. A cheap product unsup­ported by an established name and goodwill prom­ises little of satisfaction.

These thoughts have always guided Goodyear policies. It has been our aim to really reduce tire expense rather than merely to reduce tire prices.

To this end we long ago developed the notable features of Goodyear construction—the On-Air cure; the Braided Piano-Wire. base; the Tire- Making machine; the All-Weather tread; all those Miings that have made Goodyear Tires better tires —tires costing less per mile.

The policy of ever searching for tire improvement developed the Goodyear Cord Tire—a tire that by advanced construction gives longer service and greater satisfaction. Evidence of this lies in the un­usual mileage reported to us by car-owners; in their service on heavy trucks in long distance and farm use; their selection by the makers of high- grade cars; their record in racing.

The largest body of tire-users in the world favor Goodyear.Tires. These men buy tires without sen­timent—for service and satisfaction .only.

You'll find the advice of the Goodyear Service Station Dealer valuable,

Deputy Ministers. Heads of Depart- , meats, and Technical Officers in the s**r\ ivt* of the Provincial Government met to-day as a result of the proceed­ings which took place in the large haH of the Belmont House lait night, to Which reference is made elsewhere in this issue. As a result of to-day's dis­cussion a committee was appointed to draft an open letter stating the reasons why a number of the civU servants feel themselves excluded from tfië associa­tion as formed last night. X

Draw Up Memorial In addition to the ultimate adoption

of an open letter for the purpose above mentioned. the Deputy Ministers. Heads of Departments, and Technical Officer* decided to sign and circulate the following memorial;

“The undersigned, feeling that the meeting to form a Victoria Branch of the Provincial Civil Ser­vice Association, was not a true expression of the feelings of a large body of civil servants, consider that it is desirable to hold a meet­ing of the subscribers to this memorial. particularly on the

. - hd that under yhe rpnetit ut 1qR_ _ and by-laws as adopted at the meeting, the members of the Asso­ciation may be called upon to Join a strike against the Government."

Agree in Principle According to the brief reference in

these columns yesterday a meeting of the l>epiity Ministers. Departmental Heads and Technical' Officers took place to canvass Uw situation At that gathering, held in the morning, the unanimous opinion was reached that such an Association should be formed, and it was also decided that each mem­ber should attend the evening meeting. Attendance, however, was qualified to tbwxtent that support should be given to the following resolution to be con­sidered as a proviso to the affiliation clause of the now adopted constitution:

“Provided that this branch shall fmt affiliate except with other branches of the Provincial Civil Service, and that no question in­volving a strike of Civil Service employees shall be open for dis­cussion at any meeting of the Association."The clause adopted reads as follows,

and, of course, stands minus the pro­viso sponsored by the Deputies. Heads and Technical Officers: "This Asso­ciation may at any time affiliate with any other legally organized body hav­ing similar purposes to this Associa­tion."

The statement haa been approved by City Engineer P. M. Preston. It deala care­fully with every phase of the situa­tion. and is issued for the guidance of the electors voting on the by-law on Thursday next.

Ninety-four acres (more or less) at *400 per acre. *37,600; surveying, lay ing out site, roads', draining, water, etc., as estimated by the City Engineer and Parka Superintendent will amount to 413.800.. or. a. total coat-Involved in the proposed purchase *130.600.

It will be noted that the expenditure on Improvements above mentioned would have to be made no matter which of the three sites were selected. In the case of either of the other prop­erties the expenditure required would be greater than on the Tod property. Another viewpoint of the cost of the cemetery aa a whole might be deeig

The final cost of the land arising out of the issue of serial bond deben­tures to the value of *38.000. as per proposed by-law. bearing interest at five per cent, per annum is shown in the by-law to be *57,950

If the *93.000, estimated cost of lm provements, were borrowed under the same conditions as the *38.000, pur­chase price of the land in round num­bers. the eventual coat would be *141,825, making a total final coat of 1199,775. which would represent the total cost of the property at the end of twenty years if the works of Im­provement contemplated were carried out. But. it is contemplated to Im­prove oflly ten acres at presènt. at an estimated cost of *22.000.

One acre contains 43.560 square feet, and ninety-four acres contains 4.094,- 640 square feet. Deduct from this area ten per cent, for roadways and ten per cent, for potters' field, that is. twenty per cent, of the whole, or 818,928 square feet, leaving a balance re­maining to be utilised for cemetery plot»—3.275,712 square feet.

The average selling price per square foot in the old cemetery Is approxim­ately forty cents. Three mllnon, two hundred and seventy-five thousand seven hundred and twelve square feet of the new cemetery should yield, eventually, irrespective of maintenance costs, in respect of the selling price of the land only, the sum total of *1.318.284.80.

Deducting eventual coot of land, namely. *57.860, and of preparing the whole ninety-four acres for cemetery purposes, there would be a balance of profit remaining of *1.110,888.88. . The cost of management is necessarily ex­cluded from this estimate. That of Rosa Bay Cemetery does not exceed *4.008 per year.

EFFORT TO HAVETRUCE IN RUSSIA

Paris. Jan. 1L—-The British Govern­ment recently submitted to the French Government a proposition involving an effort to obtain a truce in Russia, which, if successful, would have led to the admission of delegatee of the Rus­sian Soviet Government to the Peace Conference, according to a statement made to-day by Stephen Ptchon. the French Foreign Minister.

The Foreign Minister declared the opposition of the French Government to any plan which would give the pre­sent Bolshevik! regime in Russia any recognition whatever. The “criminal regime of the Bolahevikl.". he Insists, is not entitled them to recognition as a regular Government, and France Is resolved to continue treating the Sov­iet Organisation aa an enemy.

ADDITIONAL HARBOR TRACKAGE IS URGED

Inner Harbor Association Out­lines Scheme to Link Up

Industrial Area

Feasibility of a scheme whereby the Industrial sites and the lumber mills of the Rock Bay district would secure more adequate trackage fSciUties was brought up at the twelfth annual meet- of the Inner Harbor Association, held yesterday afternoon at Belmont House. In the discussion on the needs of the harbor. Acting President J. O. Cam­eron spoke of the lack of proper track­age facilities in the new industrial area, and made the suggestion that the difficulty could easily be remedied by building up the old Rock Bay bridge and running a track across It from the E. and N. tracks on Store Street to the mill sites to connect up with the C.N.R. tracks. In launching his suggestion, Mr. Cameron said: “1 don't see that anything stands In the way. Any scheme that will give track - ago wdi materially assist In Industrial development.” The suggestion was taken up with enthusiasm by the Board of Management, and prompt •teps will be taken with the object »f putting the scheme through.

Shipbuilding ActivityIn briefly reviewing the work of the

Inner Harbor Association, Mr. Cam­eron made especial reference to ship­building activity which marked a new era of development. He made refer­ence to the operations of the Founda­tion Company and also to the estab­lishment of a steel shipbuilding yard In Victoria. "We feel that the steel industry will be permanent when It is established, but of wooden construc­tion we are not so sure, as It will last only as long as there Is a shortage of tonnage."

Instancing the shortage of shipping for the export of lumber, Mr. Cameron pointed out that he had offered a rate of 340 shillings for the delivery of lumber to Capetown, South Africa, to the owner of the ships building at the Cholberg yard, and that the offer had been turned down. The export of lumber, he said, had been practically suspended In 1918 because of the

oif InnriA* Only one we had been shipped from Victoria har­bor In the* year, this cargo having been dispatched to Shanghai by the auxiliary schooner. Geraldine Wolvin. The I.M.B. wooden st«samers had all loaded lumber, but he did not know whether they would be In a position to get them back or not.

Johnson Street Bridgetfc* qurailon Bt buTOlnt Hi* John-

son Street bridge was raised by Capt. George McGregor. "Now that the war is over,* said Capt. McGregor, “I do not see why the bridge should not be started at the earliest date possible.-* The absence of this bridge, he said, was ‘ one of the biggest obstacles to development." A resolution was adopted that the Association approach the City Council and other Interests to get their views on the bridge ques tlon with the object of getting the structure under way.

Advertising MediumThe very excellent report of*the as­

sociation, compiled by the secretary Thomas C. SorVy, was favorably com­mented upon by the board of man­agement. It was considered an excel lent advertising medium, and the meeting decided to approach the Vlc-\ toria and Island Development Asso­ciation and the Board of Trade for the purpose of securing assistance leading to a wider distribution of the splendidly Illustrated report.

Dredging to ResumeCapt McGregor urged that the a

sedation take steps to bring about resumption of harbor dredging work. A. F. Mitchell, acting district engineer of the Public Works Department, pro­duced charts and outlined the work that had been accomplished. •He had every reason to believe that, the har­bor work would shortly be resumed, and Intimated that the flrst operations would involve a resumption of work on Hospital Rock and the Pelly Island channel.

The board of management for the year was elected as follows: O. A. Kirk, chairman; the Mayor of Vic­toria, ex-offido; CapL J. W. Troop. J. O. Cameron. Charles H. French. Norman Yarrow, D. O. Lewis, Capt. Geo. McGregor, Capt. C. H. Nicholson, and Thus. C. Sorby. Secretary-Trea-

Yarrows, Ltd., Complete Huge Repair Contract in 100

Working Days

Within qpe hundred days of the commencement of operations the largest ship repair contract ever un­dertaken on the North Pacific Coast has been completed by the Arm of Yarrows, Ltd., of Esquimau.

With practically the entire bottom torn and ripped through contact with the Jagged reefs of Cape Flattery, the Japanese steamship Canada Maru en­tered the Esquimau gracing basin for the second time on September 17, and, dating from that time several hundred mechanics have been engaged In put­ting the big vessel into seaworthy shape.

But for the. fact that the fnfluensa epidemic seriously Interfered with In­dustrial operations the repairs to the Canada Muru would have bqpn com­pleted by the" Bid of December.

Te-day the Canada Muru Is afloat in the dock and to-morrow morning she will be floated out of the basin and proceed to Tacoma to go on berth to load for "the return voyage to the Far East.

Under the present arrangements the steamship will clear for Puget Bound Sunday forenoon.

Wrecked July 10The Canada Maru was wrecked

about five months ago when she piled up to the south of Cape Flattery while on her Inward trip from the Ori ent. The vessel was finally hauled from her perilous position, the sal vage operations being successfully carried out by the British Columbia Salvage Company. The repair con­tract Involved the stripping and riv- etting of one hundred and forty-five new shell plates %nd completing re­pairs to the double bottom. Including floors and frames, from the stem to the after stokehold bulkhead.

The machinery has been completely and thoroughly overhauled and No. 2 survey carried out

The total cost of the repairs f» es­timated at half a million dollars.

Ow ~ Regular iokoduUAfter completing loading operations

REEVE BORDEN REPORTSDeals With Various Developments

Which Occurred III 1»1S

Financial conditions, investment of ■Inking funds, the settlement with re­gard to the Lake Road by-law l other matters occupied an exceedingly interesting report presented to the Saanich Council by Reeve Borden this afternoon, on bis retirement from the Council after long years of service. ■

He said, in dealing with the repa­triation issue, "It_ behooves public bodies to do all that is possible to cha- ble the soldier to settle down into his civilian position as easily, quickly and comfortably as possible."

Explaining the difficulties which have arisen with regard to the Lake Road, Mr. Borden said the Council has acquired from the new owner of

the property the necessary right of way at the cost of $1*600, and will complete the grading, crush the rock and spread same upon the road out of current revenue." '

He showed Hew from the policy of successful Investment of the various

sinking funds considerable surpluses have accrued, and although In the ag­gregate the levies for inking fund purr oses have been reduced by over 17,000,000, all accounts are up to Ihe amounts required, and In many eases large surpluses still are shown, but

these occur principally owing to the retirement bf our own debentures at a discount It Is deemed advisable

lt at not to titke advantage of this saving at the present time."

BRIDGE QUESTION ISCHIEF ISSUE AIRED îMTtSSSÎÏT

If the succeeding meetings In the in­terests of candidate» for the civic elec­tion are anything like that which took place at the new High School last night, there vriU be no occasion for the Health Department considering the ap­plication of a ban on political meet­ings. Before the add res* of Mayor Todd began at 8.20 o'clock there were less than sixty people in the audi­torium, and before the "programme" ended there were lees than forty. Only one of the speakers referred to the apathy of the electors at this Import­ant stage of the city’s existence.

Mayor Todd started the ball rolling and kept It going for three-quarters of an hour, dessplte Chairman W. Mar- chant’e Intimation that the time limit had ben exceeded. The Mayor reviewed his platform of twenty-one planks, which has already been published in the press, and dealt particularly with the Johnson Street bridge matter. He stated that for some reason the Vic­toria newspapers seemed to think that this matter should be made an Issue in thla election. There was no issue about IL The bridge had to be built, and as a matter of fact the Work of negotia­tion had been carried by him to .the point where it was possible to begin work at any time.

An Unfair Move.The Mayor review the history of the

bridge since 1887, and referred to the obwtacle that had been put in the*way by Ihe late Provincial Government overriding the city by undertaking to expropriate land at the bridge-end, re­sulting In a value being placed on it amounting to 3164,125, which a score of reliable real estate firms In the city had computed to be worth $79,000.

Premier (Jllver, however, was now In power and his Government would not etand for that sort of thing. The prop­erty owners claimed that they were being very badly abused, but they would have nothin gto complain of If they got the $79,000. Mayor Todd then dealt briefly with each ptnnk In his platform, which dealt with almost every phase of the commercial and In­dustrial life of the city, which he stat­ed he was out to support and promote 4» every possible way.

It was a pleasing feature of this year's contest that two returned sol­diers were candldktes for aWbrmank! honors. Tha Mayor- made a strong ap­ical to the electees to elect candidates Ault and Dawson, as it Was necessary at this time that the Interests of the returned men should be looked after by representative* on public bodies.

address by stating that two years ago he had been beaten In the mayoralty contest by e small margin which had Jbeen gained over him by attacking hie character, reputation and everything

Lest Its Fragrance."The; Mayor has explained at very

great length the progress of the mat­ter of the Johnson Street bridge. As a member of the bridge committee I can tell yoa that we have not had one seaelen this year. The Council was never called In to meet Lard Shaugh- nessy and all these other people talked about as having been Interviewed by the Mayor on the matter.

"This bridge question blossoms forth every year Just about this time and that Is about as tar as It goes. It used to be rather a fragrant article but it has lost Its fragrance. The public are sick and tired of hearing about R.

"What have matters <$f fifty years ago to do with a question of to-day? Let us get together, talk it over and have It settled.

“I endorse the kind remarks made by the returned sol- ain going to con­

clude my remarks to glvp them a chance to speak," said Alderman Por­ter. whose address lasted less than ttfteen minutes.

With the fiermission of the chairman Mayor Todd stated that the entire Council was the bridge committee, of which he. as Mayor, was the head, and everything that had passed in connec­tion with the bridge had been reported in open Council.

Aldermen Speak.A communication was read from

Alderman Harvey regretting Me tn-fability to be present at any of the campaign meting» owing to his doc- lort instructions that he must wfrtiej from speaking at any such gatherings.

Alderman Cameron took the stand that the average cltisen of Victoria was pretty well posted on civic1 affairs and It was impossible to tel! the people very much that they did not already know. Candidates had to stand on proof when they came up for re-election, and he was offering himself fqr re-elec­tion on that basis. He favored the immediate construction of Johnson Street bridge, but thought that the six Interested parties were pulling in dif­ferent directions. One capable man should be named to take the matter up with all concerned and put the scheme through.

"We bad a cemetery scare two or three years ago, and we are now fa­vored with another, originated probably by Homebody wanting to sell some land." He did not approve buying the Cedar Hill property at $SM<ML which would do the city for ever fifty years.

Alderman W. J. Sargent was optimis­tic in his remarks. He paid a tribute to Victoria and Saanich for the part they had played In Increasing produc­tion. Progress had been made during the past year along business lines, tax­ation and financial matters had been given particular attention, and due consideration had been given to mat­ters of economy. He claimed -to-be an economist. Economy did not con­sist of a refusal to do anything, but that the beat possible results should be secured from the money spent. He supported the arguments of other speakers that Johnson Street bridge muat be completed as soon as possible and that the development of transport­ation and Industrial features should be encouraged in every way.

The Bitter Fill.Alderman Perter attacked Mayor

Todd on one or two points, and stated that the latter tried during the year to have the public swallow a sugar- coated pill. Amalgamation with Esqui­mau was the sugar, but the purchase of the Esquimau waterworks was the pilL He was In favor of the sugar, but not the contents, and he harshly criticised the whole matter of , water­works manipulation and management. Twice the people had turned down the proposal te purchase, and their own waterworks were not paying.

Although the Mayor had circularised tbe departments to keep down expen­diture. Alderman Porter «tateil thgt "the Mayor's own office had been one of the most expensive to maintain. It not only included the Mayor's office, but the Pacific Northwest Tourist As­sociation. Evergreen Highway and other th'nge. The economy did not ap­ply to His Worship, as on two occa­sions the latter asked for an Increase In salary.

fairs Is appalling, and there should be a tax on non-voters," remarked the speaker.

Ex-SergL Ault.Ex-Sergt. R E. Ault said the pre­

vious speakers had taken the planks, and even the nails out of his platform. He was in favor of progress and In­dustrial development, the first step In which was the construction of the Johnson Street bridge, "for on that bridge le the basis of Victoria's future, linking as It does the city with the industrial sites. "Steel ships wül come next and we should not go over the border for the material. It should be produced here, from our own natural resources." The outer wharves were a disgrace so long as the trans Pacific ocean trade was not linked up with the transcontinental railway», he •aid. Victoria should be made a _ of stay, instead of a port of call. He strongly favored a Fair Rent Board.

Work must be found for returned soldiers and civic appointment* and contracts tor public works should pro­vide fairly for the employment of these men. "What we can do for them Is hot a patch on what they have done for us. said the speaker.

Chinamen making from $10 to $40 a day otlbef hawking were made to pay a license fee of only ten dollars a year, and all the money they made in Victoria went to China, he declared. "As our own people are taxed, so should the Chinaman be taxed," con­cluded Mr. Ault .who hoped that he and ex-Sergt.-Major Dawson'would be placed at the top of the bolls next Thursday. j

Other Candidates. "Ex-Alderman Albion Johns referred

to his record as an alderman In 1916- 17 as an Indication as -to whether or not he should be elected as a member of a business administration. He claimed that If bis advice of two years ago had been followed respecting the construction of a roadway on the re­serve, it would not now be necessary to spend $7,000 on It It was exceed­ingly unfair to business concerns that Chinese stores should be allowed to remain open at all hours of the day obd night, he stated. If elected would »e* that they "were bof tree better than other people, and he would

i do his best for the city In eveVy slble way.

demanded. He referred to his busi­ness record in Victoria as the reason why he should be elected. He was nearly elected as alderman last year.

His straight business talk seemed to appeal to the audience.

Mrs. Richards made a strong appeal for election as school trustee. Child­ren were the. nation's biggest asset and their care and education shouldlüé the first consideration.

REEVE COLES FILES HIS ANNUAL REPORT

Esquimalt Succeeds in Attain­ing Several Worthy

Objects

In the course of his report of the year’s work in the Municipality of Es­quimalt, Reeve Arthur Colee states that the financée are on a sound basis, expenditures in the various depart­ments have been kept Within the esti­mates, notwithstanding increased east of material and labor. *

"The tax levy amounted to $14.119. and the percentage paid was 82.3 per cent., a record of which any munici­pality may well be proud. Comparing this year*» assessment figures with those of 1916. a reduction of over $1,- 004,000 has been made, or, roughly, 24 per cent," says Mr. Coles.

“The amalgamation question has been pressed by the Mayor of Vic­toria, and 1 have requested him to place In my hands a concrete proposal, so that tbe ratepayers of our district can decide for themselves.

“The roads of the municipality are, and have been kept in a very good condition, and the engineer reports 400 cubic yards of rock was quarried, and 1600 cubic yards of road material was used for maintenance and repaire. Tbe sidewalks have been laid, needed attention and 1,200 lineal feet of 4-foot and 4692 feet of 2-foot plank eidewalks havve been laid.

Sixty-two premises have been con­nected with the main sewer, and $6 houses have had plumbing Installed. Arrangements were also made with the Esquimau Water Co. to lay addi­tional mains, so that the whole system Is now served with water for flushing

Reeve Coles states that the fire un­derwriter* have recently Inspected tbe fire equipment, as a result of which it la hoped a "reduction In raise will he effected In the township.

During the year thirty-three build­ing permits werre issued, covering an expenditure of about $20,000.

The Engineer strongly urges the In­auguration of a system of garbage col­lection. which, according to his figuriee, could be carried out for a low figure and ensure better sanitary conditions, the Reeve explained.

DR. ALFRED STANSFIELD REPORTS ON FEASIBILITY OF ELECTRICAL SMELTING

(Continued from page U.)

entirely different method, which may possibly enable iron and steel of elec­tric furnace quality to be produced at a decidedly lower cost than that of direct smelting In the electric furnace. According to this method the Iron ore would be crushed to a coarse powder, the gangue removed by magnetic con­centration, and the nearly pure Iron mineral exposed to reducing gases or carbonaceous reducing materials, at moderate furnace temperatures, until the grains of Iron ore are converted into grains of metallic Iron. This grain metal can then be melted In electric furnaces, with suitable additions, for the. production of both pig iron and steel.

Hew to Save.The electric power needed tor the

final smelting of the metallic powder would be less than one-third of that required for smelting the Iron ore by existing methods, and It .seems quite possible that the preliminary reduction of the ore. using waste wood or other cheap fuel, can be effected so cheaply that there will be a substantial saving on the whole process. It will also be noticed that one operation, the conver­sion of pig Iron into steel, will be avoid­ed by the new process.- This new process was referred to in mÿ letter of May 2<th to Mr. W. fleet Robertson, I had at that time applied to the Advisory Research Council for funds to assist me In Investigating the reduction of Iron ores, but l. have not as yet been able to begin experimenta­tion., During my visit to California^ Iheard of the work of Dr. TTood and Mr. Dar- rah along similar lines, and 1 met these gentlemen at Heroult. where I saw. in operation, a small plant for the reduc­tion of magnetite ore to metallic Iron. I am not at liberty to give full parti­culars of their process, but can state that it consists substantially In heat­ing the coarsely, powdered magnetite with charcoal or other carbonaceous reducing material to a temperature of 800. C for about three hours.

Electrical Heat.hi the small' plant the heat was sup­

plied electrically, which was more con­venient. and also permitted of more accurate measurement, but on the large scale,, it Js probable that fuel heat would be employed. I have re­ceived. from Dr. Darrah, data in re­gard to the operation, and 1 have modi­fied thesè to suit conditions in British Columbia. It will be seen that, even if electrical heat la used for reduction and melting, there should be a decided economy as compared with the direct smelting procesa

Conversion Into Pig.The operation of concerting this

metallic powder Into foundry pig Iron would have to be worked out experi­mentally, but I believe, with electric power costing one half cent per unit, and with other supplies at the rates assumed In this respect, that the «Oft of this operation would be about $10 per ton of pig iron. The final cost of a ton of Iron would therefore be $10 even using high-priced power; and |f this figure can be substantiated, it be­comes clear that an electric Iron In­dustry can be started In British Colum­bia under present conditions.

I am of the opinion, also, that the electrical power, used for reducing the ore. can be replaced by half ton, of coal or similar fuel, or even by waste wood. If this can be done the charge for heat may be reduced to $2 or $1, and the cost per ton ef wwtaHte powder to $16 or $16, so that a ton of foundry pig iron, produced by this process should cost only $26 or $26.

Immediate UndertakingfIf It Is found possible In practice,

even to approach these estimates It will he clear that an electric iron In­dustry can be undertaken immediately In British Columbia, and In some other parts of Canada, and that the plants that are now employed for the electric smelting of iron ores may have to be remodelled. I must repeat, however, that although the results indicated up- >ear to me to be very probable, I have

not as yet enough Information to speak with entire certainty, and further ex­perimental work must be undertaken before it would be safe to proceed to the erection of a plant.

The metallic powder can be made Into steel equally easily, by melting In electric furnaces, and steel ingots should be produced at a cost only little higher than that of foundry Iron —say at about $20 per ton. This would

render possible a large steel Industry In British Columbia.

General Considerations. „In view of the abnormal prima of

products add supplies and the high cost and uncertainty of labor. t{ Is al­most impossible at the present time to arrive at any reliable conclusions with regard to the commercial aide of a new Industry. The high prices ob­tainable for iron and steel make the present time appear suitable for under­taking the production of these mater­ials, but the Increased cost of supplies and of labor largely neutralise this ad­vantage. If it seemed probable that pre-war prices would return In the course of a year or two we might base our calculations on this assumption, but in view bf the profound change that Is taking place in the position of labor, it seems unlikely that wages will ever return to their original level. One effect of this will be that the prices of supplies and products will all reach correspondingly higher figures.

High Cost of Power.If electric power could have been

obtained Immediately at a reasonable price it appeared reasonably safe to undertake the electric production of pig iron by standard methods, but If we are dependent on developing a water power for this purpose, the delay and the Increased uncertainty in re­gard to costa and prices makes predic­tion almost impossible. In a general Way. however, we may assume that In the course of a few years costs and prices will again reach, some steady relationship to one another and that this relationship will not be very dif­ferent from what It was before the war.

On this assumption it would seem that, after prices have once more reached a steady level, thé electric smelting of iron ores will occupy, com­mercially, about ths same position as before the war, and by considering the condition In Sweden, which resembles Canada in many respecte, we can form a fairly good Judgment of the possible development of electric smelting in British Columbia.

Dependent on New Process.We may therefore expect, with the

present methods of electric smelting, that the industry would be successful commercially, but that It would depend ultimately on the production of spe­cial qualities of iron and steal, ang would be unable to compete with the blast furnaces In the production of or­dinary grades of pig Iron. If, however, the new process for the reduction of Iron ores is found to be satisfactory it should* produce a decided improvement in, the commercial statua of electric smelting.

Conclusions Reached. — |The following are the conclusions In'

regard to the electric smelting of Iron ores in British Columbia:

1. The three most essential require­ment» are: froit ore. electric power and charcoal or similar material. In the coast districts of British Columbia there is a sufficient quantity of suit­able iron ore conveniently located, water powers available for the devel­opment of electrtcaHmergy. and waste wood for sawmills for the production of charcoal.

2. Having regard to the present mar­ket for pig iron and the probable price for this material during the next few years, It appears that the iron ore. elec­tric power and charcoal could be pro­duced sufficiently cheaply for the com­mercial smelting of iron ores In elec­trical furnaces.

S. The development of a water power Is. however, a long gnd costly opera­tion and one which it would be highly inadvisable to undertake at the prea ent time. For .present operations there fore we are dependent on the purchase of electric power from the power com-

Asks Too High a Prieo.4. It appears that one of these com­

panies has a sufficient amount- of un­used electric power, but It Is asking a higher price for title power than the industry can bear.

5. In view of the original cost of development. It would appear that the company would afford to offer the power at a decidedly lower prloe. but it should be remembered that the com­pany just keep a reserve of power for other purposes and that It cannot, at present, afford to maintain this re­serve by undertaking fresh develop­ment.

■ -$r A new process Is now being inves­tigated by means of which It may be possible to produce electric furnace pig iron commercially In spite of the high price Charged for electric power.

7. In view of the small demand for pig Iron in British Columbia it would be almost essential, if a smelting plant is to be established on an economic basis, that additional products shall be turned out. Steel for castings and small rolled sections, and ferro alloys such as ferro manganese, ferro chrome and ferro silicon, could be made suit­ably In such a plant. These additional products would permit of more econ­omical operation, would enable larger profits to be made, and would allow the plant to continue in profitable opera­tion If at any time the price of pig iron were to fall below the cost of producUOn What Is Adyisable.

In view of the present situation It appears advisable:

<a) To develop one or more of the best Iron ore deposits and to make complete tests of the ore.

(b> To reserve a suitable water power for future development.

(c) To establish a plant for the
