A Trip in B. C. Notre from a letter written by Mrs. Thos, Williamson, of Victoria, B. 0„ formerly of this locality :— I must tell you of our nice rip up 'the north end of the Island. You see Victoria is on an island, as 1 suppose you know, Vancouver Island is about 400 miles long. A great deal of it has not yet been opened up. Our friend, Mr, Oree, took us up on Sunday, and by the Oowichan River where they have just completed a very extensive bridge, We had our lunch. I had made jellied chicken, potato salad, little white pickled onions, whole wheat bread and butter, raisin bread and Logan berms jam, coffee and raw peaches. There were 4 of us. We started off again and went through Duncane and several other small places to Oben-minus, where they are erecting one of the largest sawmills on the Coast. I'll send you a paper with Borne news regarding it. Stopp- ed there to view the work. Smoke stack is 211 feet high, the mill about 550feet long, I think. and the work is continuous,s with beds and lapin mill for 4 of a mile. where they load the lumber on the trains. Motored on and saw the sunset on Cameron Lake. gorgeous indeed, Then we drove to Alberni, had supper and then across to Port Alberni, just to gee the town, Came back to Alberni and stopped all night ; got up at 5 80 and at 6 motored to Sproat lake and saw the most beautiful sunrise over the lake, mountains and trees. It almost took my soul away, It real- ly pained me with its wonderful beau- ty and grandeur. Yet I joyedinall its perfection and magnificence. Did you ever feel like that, dear ? Even to look,at a perfect rose for instance, how its perfection almost painsou, yet at the same time fills your soul with ecetacy and delight with its per- fection. That is bow I felt : if you can imaginelit. Beside this lake several camps, tents, and cottages were occupied by people on their vacation. Some were building camp fires on little rock piles on the beach to prepare their break- fast. It looked so nice in the early morning hours. Drove on from there to Great Central lake where we had our breakfast in a building called Ark, built right out on the water, belong- ing to a man called Mr. Riokwater. We were justravenous and devoured with great avidity the breakfast of bacon and eggs. toast and coffee, set before us, Mr. Cree theu hired a man with a gasoline launch and we all went for a ride on the lake for an hour. The mountains alt treed and towering up hundreds, yes thoueande of feet I guess, making it seem to me at least, as if heaven cannot be more beautiful, We started on our homeward way regretful of leaving such a beautiful place. The man who manipulated the boat was from Toronto ; but says no more Ontario climate for him. (but I think there are worse places.) We came and went through the vast tim- ber lands for which B, 0, is noted, particularly the brand which our Is- land produces of Douglas fir in partic- ular. 200 and 300 feet is a common height, trees running up for 150 or 200 feet before a branch comes out. The 4 of us (3 men and myeelf) all nearly as big as Tom, joined hands and stood trying to see how far we would come from spanning this tree by the road- side, and Tom marked where our bands reached, and he could scarcely reach the rest of the way, so you can imagine the huge tree it was and pien- ty more like it, Miles and miles of standing timber, standing so straight and tall like so many sentinels, in fact I felt so awe inspired it seemed almost sacreligious to speak, as if I were in the presence of so many holy persons. We wended our way back to Nant- mo where they were holding Labor Day sports and stopped there for din- ner, and watched a balloon ascension which was very interesting. The day being lovely and clear one could trace the bright hued little forms right up into the feathery clouds. Frim there we came, always on our homeward journey, to Quallicurn, and spent a while on the famous Qualli- cum Beach, For miles it is almost gnaw white treed, almost as fine as mercury. The absence of even the smallest stone or pebble makes it the finest beach in the world. Following the water we motored for miles and stopped a while at Departure Bay, a pretty little spot, dotted art it is with small, yet treed islands, Acrose this hay also loomed up the mountains Which to me always seem a great fort. tees, and seem to give me strength. After getting some snape, as we did at WA .I v i rc WHEAT OATS BARLEY Y AND PEAS T. G. Hemphill, Phones 50, 21 29 and 62 19roleter various plaoee, we started again on our journey, stopping only for gas till we reached horse about 8 80, all tired and dirty: But what eared we. Our good natured friend, who, knowing the Island as I know my home, acted in such a splendid capacity as guide and entertainer, being able to tell no the names of all the Inoue tains, lakes and trails as well es all the coal mines. Their history, in cases where they wet closed, and every detail matte so interesting that we were all carried away with the fascination of it all. Sorry I cannot remember to relate to you the names of the mountains, the highest of which is Mount Arrow- smith, with its rugged peaks covered with snow. Mrs. (Hey.) Cobbledick Drowned at Edmonton Old friends of Mrs, Gen. Cobbledick, in Brussels, were shocked to hear that she had been drowned in the Sask- atchewan river at Edmonton early Sunday morning, September 22nd. The despatch said :—Clothed only in a nightdress, with a coat thrown over, and wearing bedroom slippers, the bo- dy of Mrs. Cobbledick, the widow of the late Rev, Georgy E1. Cobbledick, was recovered from tiheSaskarrhewan river et a point 2 miles east of Ed omit. ton, by members of the city police and detective forces at 0 o'clock Saturday night. The husband of the deceased wits killed by a street car in Calgary 2 years ago, and since that tame, part- icularly recently, Mrs. Cobbledick has been subject to fits of depression and has been undergoing trea'trnent. Notification was received by local officers at 11:20 Saturday morning to the effect that Mrs. Cobbledick, who was 60 years ofa age, had d dies ear ed. g. Pp A call was broadcast for Boy Scouts and citizens who were willing to help in the search for the missing woman, and as a result large numbers of help - ere were organized by the police and a thorough search of the brush and riv- er bank in the neighbourhood of de- ceased's residence was commenced by mid-day. A fully trained Ateatiao po- lice dog was also employed, and its work is the subject of special praise from Chief of Police A, G. Shute. Ptist 'tiitycas of ' Mre.

In1ulrnation wee received later: that 0 email boys, who were playing on the water's edge, hard discovered the body of a woman lying in tate water.

Rev, Mr, Oobhtetliek was pastor of the Methodist church in Materiels 36 years ago and Mts, Cobbledick, Resta and Douglas conetttuted the family, Another eon was born after they left town. Airs. Cobbledick had been the subject of severe attacks of nheuma- tienl prior to their cemntg here. She wee a height, nice looking woman and enjoyed the esteem of the people wherever they were locitted. They moved to the West some years ago and lived at Lethbridge, Edmonton and Calgary.' The Weather Prophet Again Once more predictions are made as to the kind of Winter lying just ahead of us, but they are cot nearly so nuts• crone as the propheciee for the past Summer, Summer, 1024 fooled most of the prophets "good laid plenty" and their freedom to prophecy seems some- what impaired. From the Acton Free Press is the following : Frank Doe, Ogdensburg, well known weather forecaster of Northern New York, has peered into the weather cryst.tl and taken what other observe - Hotta he considere neceseaay to find the answer. October and November will be very fine Fall mouths, the wizilyd predicts. "We are due for a long, late Fall with unusually warm weather for the great• er part of it," he finds from his obser- vations. - There will"be a Winter, and it will be a good wallop, but it ieu't going to be a long drawn-out uffair, Doe pre- dicts, On the other hand it is going to be short and decidely snappy. It will be a little late in arriving, but when it plumps down in this neck of the woods it ie going to show the inhabitants something in the way of cold weather and snow," he said. "Winter," Doe finds, "is not due to arrive, bag and baggage, until Jan- uary 12, when it will open with its temperatures. It will be severe while it lasts and weather strips, storm wiu• dows and doors should be in place be- fore theerten t o• ' d e for its attack But the Fall will compensate for some of the heavy stuff that will arrive later," he declared.

But good citizenship is a patient executioner in Ontario. Again and again Ontario citizens have registered their determination that the moral and econo- mic waste caused by booze must cease. ¶ On October 23rd the men and women of this Province must tell the self-seeking liquor interests still more emphatically that booze shall not come back. A half -million majority for continuance of The Ontario Temperance Act is language that brewer, distiller and bootlegger will understand. 0.T.A. is Hated for Its - Good Work Desperate because the O.T.A. has cut down drinking by 90%, the liquor trade seeks the death of the finest temperance measure Ontario has ever had. Distiller, brewer and boot- legger are arrayed against the' forces of reform. The issue itself is sharply drawn, but John Barleycorn is using a new disguise. Only his desperation can explain his reckless effront- ery and his astonishingly low estimate of the common sense of the people. No good citizen, familiar with the miserable conditions before The Ontario Temperance Act brought sobriety to the homes. and happiness to the' women and children, would delib- erately vote for a return to the bar -room. Yet today Ontario faces, as the only alternative to the O.T.A., a step that will lead to conditions in some respects even worse than the open bar produced. Rally to Its Defence! The same sordid story comes from every province where so-called government "control" has been blindly adopted. More drinking, more drunkenness, more crime, more accidents, more misery, more waste—and, above all, infinitely more of the curse of bootlegging. This prospect should 'send every earnest man and woman in Ontario to the polls on October 23rd to vote for the continuance, strengthening and vigorous enforcement of The Ontario Temperance Act. To legalize the sale of booze for beverage purposes, though in sealed packages, is to re-establish the liquor shop without the former restrictions of the licensed bar -room, and bring back the treating system, the hip -pocket flask, and, the drinking club. -To vote for government sale is.to bring back to old Ontario the free dispensing of that bottled misery which will blight and destroy the hopes, the character, the life of young and old in every community where liquor shops are permitted to exist. Your Ballot is Your • Weapon You know that, but you must VOTE. Your weapon, the ballot, must be used. Vote yourself, and use your influence to have every qualified elector within your home and your place of work do likewise. The only votes counted will be those placed in the ballot box on October 23rd, 1924. _ Apathy and over -confidence have lost many a good fight. The liquor trinity—bootlegger, brewer and distiller—are at work, aught and day. Foil their efforts by, polling an over- whelming majority for The Ontario Temperance Act. Mark your ballot thus: Are you in favour of the cont. 1 tinuance of The Ontario Tem- perance Act? X Are you infavour of the sale 2 es a beverage of beer and spirituous liquor in sealed pack. ages under Government control? The Ontario Plebiscite Committee 2 Toronto Street, Toronto G. B.

This statement was made recently by C. B. Foster, Passenger Traffic Manager, after a visit to the hotels and camps in the Rockies.
