1 CO-OPERATIVESWitness at Winnipeg Grain

Inquiry Tells Of Farmers’ Practice

Winnipeg, April 3 (Canadian Press)-That farmers* co-operative com­

panies doing a general elevator busi­ness rely on cash grain commission men la many cases to handle their business la the actual marketing pro­cess waa brought out In the evidence of C. R. Graham to-day before the Royal Grain Inquiry Commission. He waui not required to name the com­panies as that waa the witness’ trade

•oret.He said one of the farmers' .co­

operative elevator companies Iasi had got him to handle 175

(Mini, "vHe handled for this company also

the farmers' grain held by the com­pany under special binning. Fre­quently he would receive a bulk- headed car which contained part grain belonging to the company and part to farmer.

Sometimes the farmers of a dis­trict would club together In order to get thq benefit or carload freight rates and as many aa seven would load a" car, he said. The bill of lad­ing would ehow the gross weight of each owner and he would have to send each a separate cheque accord­ing to the quantity of grain each had in the car.

When the elevator company sent him a car partly owned by It and partly by Individual farmers It was the commission man’s duty to check up what waa due-the farmers, de­duct elevator charges and mall them what waa due them and the elevator company its proportion. Thus he pro­tected the farmers' co-operative ele­vator interests

This evidence* was introduced for the purpose of showing how the farm»- ere* co-operative organisation* made use of the Grain Exchange machin­ery to their economic advantage

Elevator receipts are taken out In tj^t commission Arm's name.

Vancouver, April 3—Must two be deported when one came in?

Ltmt Bhee, pretty little Chinese woman, who arrived In May, 1923. to Join her husband. Is now a mother.

When she came she was ordertU deported, but counsel launched U ha hire a corpus action, claiming that as her husband had becora<*llomi - died In Canada she Was entitled to

sin. Decision was reserved by Chief Justice Hunter, but ho ordered the woman's release temporarily.

When Luin Bhee fled for her life from her native village In China after bandits had killed her parent* an.1 brothers, little did she realise the complications that her subsequent actions would bring to the Canadian Immigration officials and the Minis 1er of Justice alike.MARRIED WHEN CHILD

Years before, when but a child, ah* had been married -to Lee PI Yip. The husband shortly afterward* left to seek his fortune In British Columbia and became engaged In truck garden-

if.Lum Bhee waited for more than

five years for her husband's return, and when tragedy visited her people r.nd destroyed her home she sought her husband.

The question placed before the court* wa* ..f vital importance, which If decided favorably to the Chinese wife would haw* opened the doors of Canada to thousands of Chi

s women who patiently awaited the return of their husbands In the "PonA? Kingdom "DAGGER AVERTED

udgment has not been handed but In the meantime the dan

ger has been averted by the Imml gratlon Department through the 1121 amendments which prohibit Chinese entering Canada.

Ottawa. April * —<*aneda claims the right to discuss in Parliament the extent of its obligations in re. *l»vct to any treaty. So far -as the Lausanne Conference was concerned, the Canadian Government had taken thv view that, as Canada was not n presented at the conference it «lid l ot feel Justified in H—miwBlB to the Dominion Parliament concur- xrnce in the treaty.

This, in brief, wns the attitude outlined by Premier King, who made a statement In the House yeejerday afternoon commenting on a press report of n debate in the British Houm* of Commons on the Lausanne Treaty This report quoted Premier MacDonald as saying that Canada desired to retain for herself certain rights of decision over and above Imperial rights of decision. COMMUNICATIONS READ

The premier read a series of com municatlons to and from the British Government showing that Canada at the time the Lausanne Conference was held agreed to abide by the de­cision of the Mother Country at Lr.usanne. but reserved the right to submit to the Canadian Parliament the question «.f Canadians participa lion In any treat>. In a later com municatlon it was made clear that the Government of Canada did not resent the fact that It was not a- particlpant In the Lausanne Con­ference: that the Canadian Govern­ment had ifuil confidence in British representatives, and was merely fol­lowing Canadian policy, in reserving to the (Canadian Parliament final ratification by Canada.

As Canada had not mgned the treaty, it (|id not impose obligations on the Dominion. The Government did not feel that if was necessary to recommend ratification of thé treaty In Parliament.

Amendments to Army and Air Force Bill

Ixmdon, April 3.—The House of Commons rose at_5.30 o'clock this morning after sitting all night, dis­cussing the army and air force bill, to Which the extremists proposed several amendments.

The Secretary of War. Stephen Walsh, stated at the outset that in view of the big changes which the amendments suggested, the Govern­ment was vunable to accept any of them, but he promised that the Army Council and representatives of the armed forces would Investigate all the questions raised. He hoped, therefore, that the amendments would not be moved.

This brought protests from the sponsors of the changes, who re­fused* to abandon their proposals and the amendments were accordingly wccesslvely discussed.DEATH PENALTY

Omp sought to abolish the death penally for desertion, cowardice and elmllalr offences In,..war-ttme. After lengthy debate It was rejected by a vote of 239 to 120.

The next, an amendment to give condemned soldiers the tight to appeal to civil courts, was lost by 193 to 120 4

Another proposing that upon en­listment soldiers should be given the option of refusing duty if called to aid the civil power in connection with a trade dispute, was rejected 236 to sixty-seven.

Repeated efforts to postpone the debate failed, the Government de­claring that no other time was avail - sbje before the Raster holidays for completion of the committee stage of the bill.

Three women members. Mise Mar­garet Bondfleld. Miss Dorothy Jew- son and Lady Terrington. remained in their places throughout the sit­ting.

New York, April 3—The body of an elderly man who died in a "Bronx hospital, Monday, under the name of O. N. Orlow. Doctor of Philosophy, but whose death certificate bears the name of Johann Salvator, long mys­teriously missing Archduke of Aus­tria, is to lie in state in 8t. Andrew’s Church on Fifth Avenue. Ho strong ia the conviction among his friends that he was the archduke that some of them propose to keep hla body In a vault so a small birthmark on hie right arm may establish his identity forever later when the royal docu­ments are found, it is said.

An far as |M>ssible, it ia, stated, the funeral will be accompanied by the honors to which an archduke la en­titled.

The body of Miss Grace Wakefield, fifty-year-old ward of the “arch­duke,’’ who committed suicide the day after hi# death, will be cremated with two parrots and a pet spaniel, drowned by her just before, she killed herself.

The Vicomte Henry tie Fries, an Austrian nobleman and friend of “Orlow." said to-day he waa con­vinced the distinguished and cour­teous elderly man was the archduke. He also mild he and several other persons of noble birth would attend the funeral service.

WHAT YOU OUGHT T.O DO TOAID IN BRONCHOPNEUMONIA

By Dr. CopelandAny fortn of pneumonia is a seri­

ous matter and calls for prompt at­tention and proper care.

There are two forms of pneumonia -lobar pneumonia and broncho­pneumonia. The first is divided into four distinct, types, none of which I shall consider to-day.

Bronchopneumonia is less to be dreaded than any of the forms of lobar pneumonia. Hut the disease is not only severe in its symptoms, but often serious In its outcome. The utmost care from the very outset of the symptoms will, however, do much to lessen suffering and to bring about recovery.

The disease |s an acute inflamma- Uon of the lungs, probably to the action of several,, types of germs, causing what we call a “mixed In­fection.’’ This means that. While any one of a number pf different germs are capable of bringing on broncho­pneumonia. it is next to impossible to trace the responsibility for an at­tack to the particular one. In fact** It seems usually to be doe to a con­spiracy among several of them, doing pretty" effective teamwork when they find a human subject in a suitable condition to succumb to their on­slaught.

The ideal condition for these ene­mies of mankind to work upon is that to which a person is apt to be reduced by an attack of bronchitis, measles, scarlet fever. Influensa. ery­sipelas or any oh# of several other diseases.

The symptoms of bronchopneu­monia are high fever, rapid pdlse.

BDOCATIOH'B COST

WHAT Canada spends on pubjiv and high school education every year and how it is sçent ought vitally

to interest every citizen" The increase i'u the last twenty years startles.

In 1901 the cost of elementary and secondary education throughout Canada was $11.750,000.

In 1913 the cost was $.17.656,000.In 1921 the cost was $109,181,000.The increase from 1901 to 1921 was

♦97.431,000, or 830 per cent.During the same period the number

of pupils enrolled in the schools of the country increased from 1,068.786 to 1,914,734, or eighty per cent.

The authority for the figures is Mr. C. J. Yoralh, city commissioner of Ed­monton, who is considered one of the best informed and most reliable authorities on municipal affairs in Canada.

To present the figures is not to criti­cize the increase in Canada’s cost of edu­cation. During a great part of the period the increase was being effected, Canada was expanding materially in a remarkable way. standards of life were changing, and there was little- suggestion of stinting education.

The increased cost is represented by better salaries to teachers, better schools and in the extension in the scope of the work undertaken by the public school to meet, the demands of the increasing com­plexities and specializations of modem life. Education is successful only as it serves the life of jts day. In these demo­cratic days, more than ever before, the future of a nation h«fg its foundation in its schools.

THl WOBLD AWAITS THE XXFOXT

"I" HE nations of the world are awaiting 1 the appearance of the report of the

Dawes committee which has been looking tilings over in Germany to find out whether Germany can pay and how much.

The Dawes reparations report is im­portant because the immediate political trend inf both Germany and France de­pends largely on it and the way it is re­ceived and acted upon .in the various countries affected. The reaction of France and Germany to it will be re­flected in the general elections which take place in both these countries next month.

Within a few days, it is expected, the report will be officially issued. In the meantime, from Paris there comes through sources that are usually well in­formed, a forecast of what the report will contain. This forecast, says the report, will contain six parts, along tlfese lines:

1. Plan for a new issue bank for Germany.

2. Plan for budget equilibriumfor Germany. ■»

3. Plan for reorganizing Ger­man railroads into one system to he used as a loan basis.

4. Plan for establishment of sugar, tobacco, alcohol and match monopolies as reparations sources.

5. Plan for control of tax ex­penditure and bank and railroad control.

6. Plan for organization of a sys­tem of mortgages on German industry

-to serve as a basis for loans to Ger­many.If this forecast proves, accurate, it

means that those concerned arc getting down to business, with all thoroughness on the German problem. Until it is set­tled there can be no permanent stability in Europe, with its reflex (if nervousness in business on this side of the Atlantic.

CABINET MINISTERS

The days are fast approaching -when one learns that all spring seed catalogues don’t mean all they say.

Another boost for country life. Statistics Just published show that country and small town girle marry at an earlier age on an average than do the girls who dwell in cities.

RITER in an Eastern publica­tion draws a comparison between

'the number of Cabinet Ministers in Canada and the United States to the dis­advantage of this country. But he ne­glected to explain that Cabinet Ministers at Washington do not have seats in Con­gress. they have no electors or elections to think about and unless they mix them­selves in oil scandals have nothing else to do but run their departments. Cana­dian Cabinet Ministers must be members of Parliament, during five or six months of the year they must devote almost their entire time to Parliamentary business, they must keep in touch with their con stituents personally, and they must pre­pare for elections, all this besides run­ning their departments. If all they had to do was to run their departments’ their number eonld be cut in half.

HAL7-TRUTH8

IF all of the articles which a Toronto magazine is publishing for the osten­sible purpose of reforming the finan­

cial administration of this country are so short on material facts as the one on Brit­ish Columbia, which appeared recently, they are not worth any serious notice. The rejoinder of the Hon. John Hart. Minister of Finance, shows that the author of that article overloked some $18,000,000 in sinking fund securities in computing our provincial debt. This is a fair sample of the methods employed in some quarters to make the financial administration of British Columbia look as black as pos­sible.

Judging by Mr. Hart's numerous cor­rections tho author of the article must have got his information from the Search­light- He could not have got it from the provincial Department of Finance or any other authority in possession of the very facts he needed.

Half-truths arc often worse than -downright falsehoods.

Tins inquisitivenen# of these scientists is marvelous. Not satisfied that a 500.000-year- old skull has been discovered, an Eastern pro­fessor now wants’ know whose skull It Is.

An Ottawa man delivered in Toronto an address on ’ Wild Life In Manitoba,” but On­tario prohibitionists complain it is not neces­sary to go to a Government control province to get a taste of that.

Unemployment in Britain is still a big prob­lem. But it is decreasing steadily, if only slowly. Government returns show registered unemployed, including those on part time gov­ernment aid, were F.113,800 on March 1C. 1124. On March 3, the total Was 1,154,200. On March 12. 1923, the total was 1.366,200.

Dr. Frank Crane on “Colloids”(copyrioh i > i

ASK of the must Interesting branches of ^ modern Science Is the chemistry of colloids.

Professor Harry Nlcholla Holme., of Ober- iln College, recently described some of the latest discoveries in Colloid Chemistry, and the relation of that branch of science to modern life.

They may be dispersed In liquids, solids or gas: or loosely aggregated as In' cheese, mue. cular tissue, cellulose and the like. , ,

Roughly speaking. Colloid Chemistry has to do with gluey or sticky ■ stuff.

Discoveries In this branch of science may be of enormous benefit to mankind In Increasing Us food supply. Wheat, for instance, has enough of the eticky material celled gluten to make good bread dough. Oorn. rye ln.l other grain» have not enough colloid properties to permit the manufacture of a satisfactory, light, porous loaf. Therefor», if the colloid chemist can so change thr physical properties of corn, rye and opts so ihp.t they will stretch out like

There is a good deal of waate'ln coal If the coal dust Is made colloidal. It can be used In a fluid and sprayed like .fuel oil and burned under boilers This colloidal fuel would be eg- relient for ships hecauts the fire hasard la leas than that of oil. *

Dr. Holmes also showed that new processes of this branch of science might be utilised for de-inklng old newspaper» so (hat the pulp van b# worked over into fresh paper.

The matter in alno-interesting to the wood Industry. Large timbers are becoming scarcer and we are forced to use timbers built up from smaller pieces. The)glues we now use greatly limit the period of usefulness of glue to woods.

He spoke French, had experience of dealing with French civilians In the Indies, possess ea a winning manner and a conciliatory Intention. Though the members of the As­sembly were factious and petty in their attitude toward the office of Governor. Prévost managed to win their heart».

His fault would seem to have been an overplus of in­telligence and a woeful lack of that magnificent rund of sheer animal courage against odds which it refuses to reckon, which has so often carried the British soldiers through impossible situations. By all the rules of warfare, Canada was practically indefensible against determined attack from the United States, considering the disparity In wealth and population. Brock In Upper Canada determined to shut his eyea and fight to the limit of resources regardless of probability and fate. Prevost's Idea was to fight gently and considerately at flret lest the full wrath of the overwhelming enemy should be awakened and concentrated on that two- thousand-mile line of weakness, the Canadian border, with the hope that, now that the ob­noxious orders-1n-çôttncll had been cancelled by the British Government, peace might come at any time. He wished to <k> nothing to hinder that event.

In spite ■f- Prevoat> instructions fbr caution, hie lieutenants, of the bulldog breed, were always disobediently doing daring and successful things for which he had to take the responsibility and for which he was willing to claim the credit. Then, when hé found hie soft answer policy futile, he took the strangest means to stir up to vigorous action the high-mettled officers iif the West, tried already to the breaking poll# He cast subtle slurs on their courage and ability and thus stung them into action which their re­sources and the time would not warrant, and. of course, disaster followed swiftly.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, nei­ther shall fruit be In the vines; the labor of the olive shall fall, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls; yet will I rejoice In the Lord.

GERMAN IMMIGRATION

- T.° 2* Editor:—! notice in Sun­days Colonist that Major Richard - •on thinks Mr. Slavin should he held *n*‘®teem for his humane principles.

Then the major goes on to say that when he waa In Germany Princessvictoria Bchaumberg,-sister of the Kaiser, held the utmost admiration for Canadians. Whv shouldn’t she? The Canadians stand for democratic principles. ! know Canadians that were guests of the Kaiser in the late war as prisoners, including myself. I wish they could say the seme about tne German. As regards hatred, no Britisher shows that. It is Justice he wants to see—the hanging of the Kaiser, etc. If a criminal la brought to the court of Justice he is punished, not through hatred. and why shouldn’t the Kaiser and hie confed­erates be punished, responsible for crimes that are unfit to put In print? Put this sentimental bosh oh one side •nd hand out what is right and Jusi. This ‘pampering your enemies too much, as Britain hae done, has cost her dearly and a lot at the expense of her own citixene.

PENSIONS

To the Editor.—I would ask the public gnd ex-service men and their dependents to take with res* > the statement as to‘ i>enslon. legisla­te0?. •Fpcarlng at length in The

•■I Y the second inat.These rules arc only part of those

created by the Senate last year, after a few days consideration and in spite of recommendations of a Royal Commission of a quite contrary na ture.

They do not by any means pro­vide a court or procedure satisfac­tory to ex-service men and are not working out to their advantage

1 ask the public and those most Interested to reserve their opinion, because the article in question did not appear at the request of any veteran organization and may have appeared from government source*. — No new legislation has yet been disclosed at Ottawa, but If the Gov­ernment is responsible for the article it would seem it is not adverse to creating an atmosphere favorable to its present unsatisfactory pension and treatment policies.

I may be wrong and 1 hope 1 am L.I the right time and place Jhe men # side of the question will bq placed before the public and the public can then Judge for itself.

We would have been pleased to give Mr. Twlgg this information if he had taken the trou­ble to inquire before writing his let­ter. lie seems to have been In som*> thing of a hurry to criticize the Gov­ernment—much more so than he was to take Senators Barnard and Green to task for helping to nullify the pension remedial measures submitted

IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC

To the Editor in November, 1922,I reed in The London Daily Mail an Item regarding a lady In the British Holomon Islands who wished some newspapers, magazines, etc., sent to her.

I copied the article to your paper, ajso to The Victoria Unionist, and bhth of you gave it space, and I have been told that a lot of matter went to her.

1 have Just received a letter from her. copy of which is attached, and If you eve fit to give her further men­tion. I am sifre she will appreciate It.

Dear Mr. --------- . I have been won­dering If you ever got my letter In answer to your very kind letter of November 21. 1922 The respond to the item in the Victoria, newspapers has given roe many hours of pleasure, and I want to tell you how grateful I am to you. ï

My husband has been away on the Island of Varakara. Ban Ghristobel. since November 13. and I am expect­ing hlin back at any time now. Vhrlstmas day I spent here, quite alone. The sitn came Up and went down, and so the day ended.

A friend of mine who was travel­ing from your country to Sydney. N.S.W., met a clergyman from the Solomons, and asked him If he kne^ me. He said he had often heard about me. but my Island was 290 miles from where he was stutibued This will give you some idea hpw scattered these islands are.

We have been having some severe storms, and lots of eocoanut and banana trees, and other fruit treea blown down, also one of my - ,h, .. bouses blown away like a pack ot- cards. I only haye one native boy here. The others all ran away, afraid of the storm». They imagine it le an evil spirit—very cross.

"Oh, what an adorable bedroom for a young grirl! It's all flouhces!"

So exclaimed a visitor who had been given the freedom of the house, in the absence of the young,daughter who was away at school.

And it was a gay boudoir, indeed —It looked like a fluffy, frilly danc­ing frock, bouffant, swaying, airy. It had been designed and carried out by a fond mother as an Easter vacation surprise, and it carried the very essence of Spring. Gay flow­ers of palest lavender and gray- green foliage bloomed on u back­ground of Jonquil «yellow silk, in deep full ruffles bound .round the edges with Hie lavender. The floor was covered with a soft thick rug In plain mauve, and upon the dressing- table stood a piquante doll whose billowing lavender skirts concealed an electric bulb. *•

“The flounces are really what makes the room," said the mother. "Her old cream-colored bed and bureau had seen their best days, so 1 removed the bureau entirely and replaced It with n set - of thrée shelves fd^which I had this kidney shaped top cut Ut the carpenter's-

Be­hind this flounce are her hedrn slippers, out of thtf dust during the day. and space for other shoes. If she wishes to keep them there.

Participation In the May Queen contest by the city departments is now occupying attention at the City Hall. It had been suggested that the lolice. fire department, the Civic Em­ployees' Protective Association and the newly formed City Hall Officials' Association should sponsor the caip- paign by holding a contest among themselves, and the successful can­didate should be the nominee of the civic employees. More probably, how­ever. the effort will be consolidated on one queen for the whole body of employees.

The Canadiens" method of break­ing up an.attack was one of the fea­tures of their play, according to the Maroon boas. When one of their defence checked a fdl-Ward he stayed right with Mm. and eaw to It that he took no further part in that par­ticular attack.

Never shall l forget u play that featured Bill Hogen and Bert Shot ton. which was made possible by using the head, but In an entirely different manner.

BUI Hogen waa p’aylng left field for 8t. Louta. Bert Rhotton waa ln centre. Ht Louie was playing at Washington. Left field la the eun field at the Nationale* park.

A long fly was hit to left field. Hogen called for the play and Bert Shotton went over Into left field territory to back up.

After having Judged the ball perfectly, Hogan Ibet It In the aun at tho toat minute. He ducked hls head to prevent possible Injury te hla eyee. The ball struck him a glancing blow on the aide of the head and eâromed directly into the hand» of Bert Fhotton, who made the catch, retiring the batter. Hogan received an awilat on the play.

It waa a long, high fly and H wax mighty fortunate for Hogan that it struck him a glancing blow on the aide of the head. At that he waa badly daaed and ran around In circle» In eearch'ot the ball that Shotten had caught and thrown ih to the plate.

Shotton, between laughs, told Hogan what had happened. Since the ball had been caught he forgot the other embarrassing feature of the play. Arm In arm the two players marched te the bench. '

And of coure* to complete the'‘situation some wag in the- left field bleachers yelled: » i

She gives a won­derful and most sympathetic inter­pretation pf the part of the Queen. Conrad Nagel, as the young English­man, surpasses his own previous good work. The acting of all the members of the cast was convincing an«l able In every respect.

Proportional Representation Introduced in Commons by

Brant MemberOttjrwa, April 3 (Canadian Press)

7 Proportional representation . came before the Hmrw of Common* last evening when W. C. Good. Progres­sive. Grant. Ont.. Introduced a reso­lution proposing that “the Dominion Klectlone Act he so amended as to use the transferable vote to secure, as far as possible, proportional repre­sentation in such multi-memhered constituencies as may be provided for in the next redistribution.”

The House adjourned until Thurs­day afternoon before the debate wss completed.A BILL BOON

Hon. Kmeat Lapointe, Minister of Justice, regarded the resolution ss premature. He suggested that some of the double member constituencies he done away with. If proportional representation was to be tried out It should be applied first in the large cities. The Minister of Justice said the Government would introduce a bill very soon to give effect to the principle of the transferable vote.

He suggested that the report of the Commons on redistribution be re­ceived before dealing with the pro­posal contained Id the resolution. PLAN OPPOSED

W. G. MvQuarrie. Conservative. New Westminster, expressed himself as being absolutely opposed to pro­portional representation and also to the transferable vote. Proportional representation had been tried out in British Columbia by a number of mu - nielpallttes and as far aa he was aware not one of them had adopted it after the experiment.MORE GROUPS

The tendency of proportional repre­sentation would be to multiple groups in the House, said Hon. H. H. Ste­vens, Conservative. Vancouver t'en­tre.

Proportional representation and the transferable vote bed been tried In the city of Vancouver for three years, said Mr. Stevens. During that time the voters lost Interest In ejections and though 40,(00 names were on the list, only 6,000 ballots were cast. Un­der the last proportional representa­tion system it had taken a week to count the ballots and It was neces­sary to bring In trained accountants to find the results.

A. R. McMaster, Independent. Lib­eral. Brome, Que., thought propor­tional representation might not lie practicable In the rural districts, but It was the only way in which to ob­tain thorough representation of every division of political thought.

the Inquiry only because the public, might have accused them of being poor sports for quitting. General McRae likened the affair to • card game lh which the cards were marked.

Mr. MacNelll said: “My evidence was rejected as irrelevant, but I was prepared to swear that P. Welch told me In Seattle In 1S1T that he and his friends played to favorites, but had dealt with both parties alike, dollar for dollar.”

“When Wt attempted to put In evi­dence of the widow of Thomas Bell, a sub-contractor on ties, the affi­davit was thrown out.” he said. “The attitude was that this was no busi­ness of the commission.**

GRAIN GOSSIP

Chicago. April $.—(By BA. Bond)Weinand says: 8ee no reason to

look for any sustained upturn in wheat. Shorts beet buyers yester day. Foreign demand continues slow with plenty of wheat in our visible Corn active nnd strong, good buying light receipts. Short Interest, how­ever, much reduced so favor pur t hases on rocesslous.

Chicago. April 3—Grain weather to-day:

Canadian west 24 to 24 cloudy.Northwest 44 to 50 cloudy.West cloudy 38 to 42.

By K. P. Ciartt * Co.—Wheat — Cash business in wheat wa* better than for some time to-day, with sales of 120,000 bushels to mills.

Receipts at al! points were small, and the total primary run was about one-half as large as a year ago.

Foreign conditions are shaping up more favorably and the effect le shown in more stable markets for cptton gnd^aleo for securities. Prices In the market hère to-day were strong early but subsequently eased off. there being a heax-y realizing movement on with moderate outside support.

Winnipeg prices were relatively steady, while Liverpool cloeed at one-, quarter to five-eights higher. Crop new* indicates a very spotted con­dition and «uggeets an open mind on the question of crop developments for some time.

It must not be forgotten that prices comparatively are very cheap at thle level, and that any crop damage or persistent milling demand will tend to create a stronger basis for the market.

Corn -This grain was called on to abeorh a tremendous lot of selling for profits, with considerable other sell­ing as well, traders hoping for a set­back on which to reinstate sold-out lines. With this condition some re­action may occur but the funda­mental conditions are bullish with receipts of thirty-one cars here and 419,000 bushels tn the West, showing how light the pressure Iw outside of t,he stocks at leading points.

Rains again are foreesmt which will tend to restrict the movement still more Rain* In the Argentine re­cently have delayed the export move­ment from that country and that may also be a factor.

‘ The main reliance of the bulls, however, continue# to be the small receipts, the firm cash nuuhets and the buying by each interests and In­dustrie».

On ell setbacks, we would buycorn.- 0|ts — General rains again were forecast, which will further delay the seeding of the crop.

September oats were firm at times while the buying of May by cash In­terest* against sales of July put some pressure on the July. Cash prices were steady with sales of 35,000 bushel*.

Market is in a good deal of a weather proposition here and would trade accordingly,

(By BA. Bond wire)—A better tone was evident TiTWW grain trading. While wheat did not hold the early gain. CRT» and oats showed considerable strength and held most of It at the close. Sentiment has changed to the constructive side of prices In corn and oata A trading market is anticipated in wheat as the Immense supply is a deterring influ­ence when bullish operations are con­sidered. Cash prices in all grains are well above futures. No. 1 Hard Wheat sold around 110 In Chicago to-day and No. 2 Oat* are 48H cents to 50 cents. Cash corn is m little above the May price.

HAPPY VALLEY FEEL LI

Exceptional Spurt in Business in Western District

Special le The TimesMetchosln, April S.—Evidence of

the excellent climate exp«ylenc«$d generally in the southern portion of Vancouver Island haa been made apparent by the fact that logging operating hag continued during the Winter montha in many of the camps. The condition 6t the roads and the land In general has made this possible, consequently there haw not been the usual number of loggers Idle for any length of time on ac­count of heavy rains and frost.

A boom of logs containing ap* proxlmately 156.000 feet of lumber Is being shipped this week from the camp run by H. C. Helgeeen at lfetchosln, while throughout the dis­trict men are employed cutting the various timbers for shingle bolts and pulp wood.

The timber on the twenty acres at Metchoain owned by E. B. iTlph, now resident In England, has been bought by a Victoria firm for the purpose of taking out the baiagra for pulpwood, the remainder it la presumed, will be cut for cord wood.

The Happy Valley Lumber Mill, until recently owned by Dr. R. H. Barker haa changed hands, and en­gineers are now busy trying out the machinery on the plant. It la ex­pected that the mHI will vogimence operations shortly, and it la felt by the residents of the district that this will mark a new era In the industry and prosperity of the community

C.N.R. Grading in Hand; Temporary Station at

Riverside DriveSpecial te The Times

Lake Cowlchun, April 1.—The con­struction of the new public wharf la now nearing completion. A email abed has been built at one end to be used aa a warehouse. This wharf will be a great convenience to launch owner* during the Hummer montha. Unfortunately, owing to the high water during the Winter. It will be of little use to anyone, a a launches cannot get under the old Wagon bridge during a greater part of that period. Thin matter could easily be remedied either by tearing down the bridge, or by repairing it. raising the centre span and turning it into a foot bridge. The bridge was con­demned as unsafe for traffic some years ago, and' in its present condi­tion is considered not only a public nuisance., but also a possible source of danger to traffic paasing beneath It. __ ___

The grading of the C.N.R. Is going -ahead rapidly, and o direct motor coach service, connecting I»ake Oow- ichan and Victoria, Is expected to be in operation soon. A double track haa been laid on the proposed site for the depot, and a temporary terminus, with a platform for the convenience of the passengers, is being con­structed, where the line croeeea Riverside Drive._____

Lieut.-Col. and Mrs. R. N. Stoker have returned to lh#v lake after spending the Winter months at Qua- michan Lake, near Duncan.

Made Ion gave a ltttla cry of Joy when she recognised Barbara In the swathed figure!

"Oh I'm xo glad you’ve come! 1 was afraid Uncle Stephen would take you away before I could devise a way of seeing you again,".

Barbara put aside her enveloping wrap with an unsteady hand. Her pallor was Intense, and her purple- black eyes were sadder than Madelon had ever seen them.

"I couldn't go without saying good­bye. We'r* leaving In the morning Stephen is seeing to the reservations now, else I’d never have dared to come. . . Oh, Madelon I'm such a coward 1"

Madelon took her arm and drew her into the sitting room.

"We’re all cowards with Uncle Stephen. He’s a regular Borgia. Haa he been hateful to you because of me ?"

Barbara shook her head."Not more so than usual.”She turned to Chandler, who had

stood by silently after his first greet­ing.

"Madelon has told you what hap pened ?" *

He bowed assent.in time he may come to look at things differently." she said hope fully. "Sometime# he changes. Not often, it is true, but it la worth hop­ing for at least, isn't it?"

"I should fancy that It might be.” be agreed. "Mr. Lane is reputed to be very wealthy indeed."

I wasn't thinking of the money.’Barbara assured him, flushing. "It is only that Madelon must feel ter­ribly alone to be cut adrift from her ___family like this, of course, she has were mocking; they seemed toyou.” She laid her hand on Ms arm *ay : "Ah, it Is as I thought!"

stop them, to force herself to calm, but without success.

Later she found herself yearning for a glimpse of Duane Farley. Only

glimpse. Just to see hlm from afar, to note hie splendid carriage, to hear the echo of hie voice.

It was then that she went quickly to her own room and closed and locked the door with trembling fingers.

For the first time in her life, she was really afraid of her own destrea.

Madelon, meantime, had recovered her epirlta considerably. She had only to think of the morrow to be almost happy, for to-morrow Stephen Lane would be taking her back U> the East and bondage. If It were not for Howard Chandler.

She felt a gratitude toward her husband that was almost affection. The doubts that had beset her earlier In the evening had vanished.

Wheh he suggested a drive to while away the long evening, she acquiesced eagerly, arranging to meet him at the motor entrance when he brought the car around.

She waa* making her way through the lobby, when her idle glance en­countered eyes vividly familiar.

She stopped in amaaement, the swift color flooding her face, while

Duane Farley made hie way to her through the eddying crowd of loung­ers.

It was the first time they had met since the afternoon of her arrival from abroad.

He took her extended hand |n both of hie and his eyes searched her face eagerly. He found it lovelier than ever. •

"This is the most unexpected hapr pening of ray life—and the nicest,” he said. "1 had no idea you were here, though I heard you and—Mrs. Lane had come to California.”

Madelon withdrew her hand and hoped she didn’t look be embarrassed as she felt.

‘And wbat brought you here?" she asked.

"Golf,” he laughed. "I had to come to Los Angeles on business and I can never resist thé links here. My family used to Winter here when I was a kid.”

He came closer and the laughter left his eyes.

"What chance have I to see you? Does the ban against me exist even out here?**

Madelon gasped."Ob, don’t you know? Haven't you

heard ? I—, I'm married now!"To be continued

Relieved. Barbara turned to Made­lon and put her arms around her.

"Oood-hye, dear child. I shall miss you grievously. I will pray for your happiness.”

Madelon clung to her a moment, and a little sob which she could not control closed her throat.

Very gently, Barbara loosened her arms and gave Madelon over into Chandler’s keeping. Above the girl's drooping head, her eyes Implored him.

Then, slipping into the concealing fold# of her wrap, she murmured low “good-bye," and hurried away

Madelon clung to Chandler, her breath coming In tiny gasps as eho sought to force back the tears. He held her tenderly, hie lips against her hate, but there was a pre-occupied look In his eyes. . . .

A wave of crimson flashed across her pallor, but she unwound and laid aside her wrap, without comment.

waa always beautiful; but Barbara with crimson cheek# and flashing eyes, proud, defiant, was bewilder- ingl y lovely.

1 L*ne found himself forced to an unwilling admiration of his young wife as she stood before him. He felt a twinge aklri to Jealousy. How vivid she wa# at the mere mention of the younger man’s name; how quickly the suggestion of his pres­ence roused her from her apathy.

"Control yourself Barbara.” he commanded mockingly! "You are maklpg something very close to a •cene. Be careful, or you are likely to give yourself away!”

Her hands. which had been clenched convulsively against her breast, dropped to her side-. The color left her face and her eyes darkened.

*T have nothing toHide. T am go ing to tell you the truth. 1 could have loved Duane Farley. He would have brought me all the life and warmth and happiness that you deny me. But 1 sent him away before he even suspected. I have n nor heard fropi him since

"A pretty story." he commented with a sneering smile.

"It is the truth.” she said quietly.He brushed her words aside Im­

patiently and rose."It is late. We're making an early

start in the morning. You'd best get some rest."

He left her standing there, beset with unanswered questions.

Why had he brought up the sub­ject of Duane Farley and left it un­completed? Why had he taunted her, and yet not deliberately accused her of treachery? What was the meaning of Farley’s presence here? Or was he really here?

She paced the floor restlessly. Sleep was Impossible. Her heart waa torn with conflicting emotions. There was her love for For ley and her affection for Madelon. She was having to tear both of them out of her life.

What a strange, terrible thing Fate was! How It grasped one with a giant, invisible hand and crushed one to helpless pulp! How inexor­able was Its will.

She wondered If Farley could pos­sibly know of Madelon's marriage. What curious coincidence that he should be brought to,the very hotel where she was spending her honey moon!

BEDTIME STORY

Uncle Wiggily and the Pancakes

(Copyright. 1624. by McClure News­paper Syndicate)

By Howard R. Garig

Uncle Wiggily hopped out of bed. but out of the window he didn’t pop his head, for he feared hie pink, twinkling nose might frees#. How­ever, the rabbit gentleman, in hie hollow stump bungalow, dressed very quickly.

"For I want to get downstairs as soon as I can," he said to himself, "and eat some of Nurse Jane's pan­cakes with maple syrup."

Mr. Longears was very fond of the griddle cakes, or flapjacks, which his muskrat lady housekeeper made for him on cold, wintry mornings.

"And I am .especially hungry this morning," laughed Uncle Wiggily, as he whistled a Jolly tune and finished dressing. Then he slid down the banister rallK for he was In a hurry to eat those wonderful pancakes he thought Nurpe Jane would soon be baking.

But when the rabbit gentleman reached the kitcherw Nurse Jans wasn’t there. Nor waa the fire cheer­fully biasing, nor were there any signs of pancakes.

"Something must. be the matter!”

thought Mr. Longears. T wonder why Nurse Jane ienTl down to get my breakfast?"

Just then a voice called from up atalrs:

"Is that you/Wtggy?”"Oh such a weak, sad voice at it.

was!"Yea Nurse Jane, it is I." answered

the bunny. “Is anything the matter? Your voice sounds 111.''

"Tee, I have a dreadful headache." was the answer. "I fear I can not get down to bake your pancakes this morning. If you would telephone oYOr to Mrs. Twlstytail. the lady pig, or Aunt Let tie. the lady goat, one of them would run in and get your breakfast.”

Nonsense!" laughed the bunny gentleman. "I won't trouble them.

"Thank you, byt if you bake for yourself you will be doing very well." 6poke the muskrat lady with smile.

The batter hissed on tbq hot grid­dle aud then, in the top, little holes began te form, like dimples in baby's cheeks, coming and going.

Uncle Wiggily watched the baking pancake as he had seen Nurse Jane do, and when there were enough holes in the top side, he flipped the cake over, to cook the other side.

"This is why they call them flap* Jacks,” laughed (he bunny, aa he turned the cake. It waa baking nice and brown on the other aide, when all of a sudden, |n through the door stalked the Bushy Bear! The rabbit had opened the door to take in the milk and had forgotten to lock it.

Uncle Wiggly baked another cake, End flipped that into the air. The Bear caught it and ate It.. "Bake roe another!" he roughly cried.

This time, when Uncle Wiggily flapped the cake, he only made be­lieve to toes it Into the air. He didn’t* though, but kept it on the pancake turner. The Bear, however, thought the cake waa going to sail toward the far comer of the kitchen, and there the Bear rushed.

"Oh. lolly pops!" bowled the Bear. •Oh, what a hang I gave my nose!

RENEW SETTLERS TAKES LEGAL VIEW111,050-There were two angles to the re­

presentations made by Victoria fire fighters to the council. One was that salaries be placed once more on the scale in force before the cut went into effect a year ago; and the other was that the council adhere to recent legislation calling for one-day rest in seven for members of the fire fight­ing staff.DISCRIMINATED AGAINST

Firemen explained that they had been discriminated against in that they voluntarily took a seven and a half per cent reduction in wages un­der the understanding that the cut was to be a general one evenly dis­tributed on all city employees. Aa a matter of fact the cut practically started and stopped with the fire de­partment for the Police Commission refused to call a cut in police sal­aries and apart from the firemen no branch of the. city's service volun­teered to take less.

The advocacy for one-day rest has continued for a conaidemble time. Victoria firemen at first asked that they ■ be granted one day off per month, working out at one dav in thirty throughout, the year. They pressed for this without avail. Fin- all v other fire departments working independently of the Victoria aggre­gation made Huccessful pleas to Par-
