PEACE RIVER DEAL TALK OF VICTORIA SUhat place the Pacific Great Eastern Railway will take in the plans of the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific Railways for gigantic Peace River devel- opment, including the joint pur- chase of the Alberta Govern- ment's northern lines, was the question of the hour at the Par- liament Buildings at the be- ginning of this week. That the Alberta railway pur- chase announced in Montreal will ultimately have a vital bearing on the future of the P. G. E. and the finances of the province was regarded as almost certain. In effect the general belief is that the two national systems, having decided to go into the Peace River in a big way, will want a western outlet for the new northern grain belt to take its products down to Vancouver. In such a project the P. G. E. would probably form a large part of the new route from its present northern terminus down to Clin- ton, with a new cutoff between that point and Ashcroft. From there the Peace River freight could be moved to Vancouver on main lines of either of the trans- continental systems. On thie assumption there is a firm belief here that the P. G. E. will enter the picture befol e long. This belief is supported, not only by the geography of the northern railway situation and the evident desire for a wes- tern freight outlet, but also by British Columbia's potential ownership of the Peace River Block. )Uhen this is conveyed to the province shortly it will have something besides the P. G. E. to bargain with as the lands included in the federally- owned area would be of enorm- ous value to railways operating in the Peace River territory. The Canadian National Rail- ways, as a matter of fact, had in- dicated an interest in the possi- bility of taking over the P. G. E. before the last provincial elec- tion. The C. P. R. has never shown any enthusiasm for the idea but its new position as a joint owner in the Peace River system may alter its view. Cer- tainly the C. P. R. will not want to see the products of the Peace River move to Vancouver over existing Canadian National lines from Edmonton, it is thought. A short route from the Peace River distr' to Prince George or some nearby point and then down the P. G. E. to Ashcroft, would appear to officials at the Parliament Buildings most close- ly in touch with the situation as the logical arrangement. AIR. PERCY KING TO GIVE SPECIAL ADDRESS A special request has been made to Mr. Percy King to take as his subject for discussion at next Sunday's meeting of the )Vest Vancouver Bible School "Israel, Judah and the Jews." The class meets on Sunday aft- ernoon at 3 o'lock and a hearty invitation is given our readers to be present. Mr. King has given this sub- ject special study and his re- marks will be well worth listen- ing to. Cake should then be golden brown with a beautiful crusty top. Remove from oven, turn pan upside down and allow to re- main until cold. The ungreased pan, with a tube in the middle, is necessary to the success of the sponge cake, which is so light it needs the sides to cling to while bak- ing. After it is cold there is no danger of its falling, A sponge cake should never be iced, the sugar which forms the crust be- ing the coirect "icing" for such a delicate cake. Whimsical Review CLASSIFIED "I see in the paper that a wid- dower with nine children has married a widow with seven children." "That was no marriage. That was a merger." According to a contemporary one of our novelists has a suit for every day of the week. That' nothing. EVe have one for every day of the year; we'e wearing it now. "Liza, you remind me fo'll the world of brown sugar." "How come, Sam." "You am so sweet and unre- fined." "Are you still engaged to that homely Smith girl?" "No, I'm not." "Good for you, old man. How did you ever get out of it?" "Married her." Some one has just recently re- vealed the fact that music is much more enjoyable if "you lis- ten to it with your eyes shut." It is also more enjoyable ii the people sitting near you listen to it with their mouths shut. Smith--"Did l leave an um- brella here yesterday?" Barber--")Uhat kind of um- brella?" Smith--"Oh, any kind. I'm not fussy." A pretty girl who was collect- ing contributions for a hospital, approached a man sitting at the wheel of an expensive car. "No," was his surly answer. "I contrib ute regularly to that hospital." "No doubt," said the pretty girl, "but we'e collecting money today, not pedestrians." "Your wife says she only asks for pin money." 'Yes, but the first pin she wanted had twelve diamonds in it!" W EBB'S SHOE R EPA I RS W EA R B EST--Dundarave. RADIO--bfarconi and Stewart-Warn- er, Batteryless, demonstrated at our shop.

Son--"EVell, shut your eyes and sign my school report." Fishing Yarns Dignified visitor (at Sunday school) --"who was least pleased at the return of the Prodigal?" Bright Boy--"The fat-headed calf." Once a fisherman was dying in his humble cot, And the Pastor sat beside him saying things that hit the spot So that all his futile terrors left the dying sinner's heart, And he said, "The journey's lonely, but I'm ready for the start. "There's just one little matter that is fretting me," he sighed, "And perhaps I'd better tell it ere I cross the Great Divide. "I have got a string of stories I have told from day to day, "Stories of the ones I'e captured and the ones that got away. "And I fear that when I tell them they are apt to stretch a mile "And I wonder when I'm wafted to that land that's free from guile, "If they'l let me tell my stories. if I try to tell them straight, "Or will Angels lose their temper then and chase me thru the Gate." Then the Pastor sat and pondered, for the question vexed him sore; Never such a weird conundrum had been sprung on him before. Yet the courage of conviction moved him soon to make reply. And he wished to fill the fisher with fair visions of the sky. "You can doubtless tell fish stories," said the clergyman aloud, "But I'd stretch them very little if old Jonah's in the crowd." Motorist--"How do you know if I was exceeding the speed limit when you haven't a watch or anything?" Ozark Constable--"EVall, ye seen that yeller dog a-chasin'e, didn't ye? EUhen that dog can' keep up with a feller, the feller's a-goin'ore'n thutty miles an hour." Tell a man there are 267,543,- 201 stars and he will believe you, but if a sign says "Fresh Paint" he will make a personal investi- gation. "Now that you'e seen my son and heir," said the proud fath- er, "which side of the house do you think he resembles?" ")Veil." said his astonished bachelor friend, "his full beauty isn't developed yet, but surely you don't suggest that he--er- looks like the side of a house, do you? The objector to Prohibition spoke bitterly "AVater has kill- ed more people than liquor ever did. "You are raving," declared the teetotaler. "How do you make that out?" ")Veil, to begin with, there was was the flood!"
