Mr.. John Mckay, of Roche Harbor,
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Me-
Kay, of this place, was drowned in
canoe Pass, B. c., on Monday evening.
Sept 14th, and was buried in the Val
ley cemetery last Saturday afternoon.
Sept. 10Th. Mr. Mckay was on his
way to the Fraser river fishing grounds
and on the evening of the 14th, in COM
pany with three companions was stand
Ing on the wharf at Canoe Pass. He
was leaning against one of the fender
piles on the outer edge of the wharf
with his right leg crossed over the left
and when he had finished his chat and
was preparing to leave the dock he
brought his ley over to make a step
paying no particular attention as to his
position and stepped off the wharf.
The night was quite dark so his BODY
was not found until the following day,
when it was brought to Roche Harbor
for burial. Deceased was about "a
years of age and leaves a widow and
three children who are living on their
farm near Roche Harbor, and his
parents, brothers and sisters who reside
IN this immediate vicinity, to mourn
his loss. THE ISLANDER extends its
sincere sympathy to the bereaved fam
lily and relatives Of deceased.

cent of the customs dues at africa are by
law seized by the foreign bondholders.
China IS silver country. 1t is matter
in the memory of every citizen that the
money TO pay CLina's war indemnity was
raised by loan in Europe. The Japanese
commission has just gone to London to
collect it. Her February loan of 1895 was
e., OOO, 900, payable in gold, and her GUS
toms revenue is today mortgaged in terms
to foreign syndicates. The United States
pays in gold and borrows at per cent
China's foreign loan of December, 1894, of
5000, 900, payable in silver, cost per
cent interest.
Japan, the most prosperous of the silver
countries, is paying at the rate of per
cent for foreign Indebtedness of 2,Il0,-
liz yen. The bulk of her debt, loaned
her in silver by her own citizens, costs
her 81 per cent per annum. Japan's fl
nanciers favor the adoption of gold
basis.
India is on a silver basis. Of total
debt, funded and unfunded, of 227 .354, 1913
rupees, los, lib, 1872 is foreign debt owed to
ling year must be paid in England.
This is paid in gold, while the taxes
raised in India are silver. Is it extraordi-
nary that India has stopped the coinage
of silver in order to get upon gold basis
and relieve herself of a heavy yoke that
was yearly growing heavier?
Russia is on silver basis, but she has
been forced into an Indebtedness of gold
rubles of l 1895, 3U7, 496. Russia was forced
to ask permission of foreign bankers be-
fore she went to war. We didn't have to
ask that permission. Russia is about to
adopt the gold basis.

the dishes for family of tea in two minutes
without wetting your hands. AS soon people
