 The Kennecott Copper Corporation has been, in more ways than one, a big factor in all this development For instance, a homesteader has been able to sell all his surplus wood, cleared off his land, to this company, receiving the cash at the time he needed it the most, enabling him to purchase his seed grain and then sell ing the products to the same company.

PAY $lOO MONTHLY
 TO CAT HUNTERS

VICTORIA. B. C.. Dec. ' - The British Columbia Game Conservation Board has inaugurated campaign against cougars on Vancouver Island IL has offered hunters $100 month salary and a bounty of $40 and $55 an animal. If under these conditions a hunter killed a cougar a day his monthly income would be between $l50O and S1SOO. In addition. the hunter will own the cougar pelts, which are worth from SlO to SIP at market prices. Counties differ accord ing to districts Tine bounty is $55 in sheep areas and $io in regions in witch no sheep are raised

Then British Column h was part of the Hudson Bay Com Iany's empire, the last yostiScs of which are fast disappearing, as the company is selling out its remaining lands in the prairie provinces to farm settlers
 War was declared upon the big cats in pioneer times and they were almost cXtorminated. In recent years they have increased alarmingly and now are menace to remote farms. The slaughter by cougars of pigs, calves and sheep cuts serious figure in farmers profits.
 The present campaign, it is believed will wipe them out. The financial en- couragcments. it is said, are the larg- est ever offered in the history of North American wild animals Not cougar. it is expected, will be left alive on Vancouver island in another year.

EXPERT TESTIMONY.

England's welcome to the enthusiastic
apostles of American prohibition was
hardly of the warmest. Hence commend
atory comment on our national expert
ment from that source should be the more
gratifying.
Sir Arthur Newsholme, famous British
physician, has been diagnosing America s
case for two years past, and now he is
quoted as telling his countrymen that pro-
hibition pays. His report, based upon
personal observation and data available
through Johns Hopkins university, is to
the effect that despite the apparent popu-
larity of home brew and bootleg liquors,
the dry law has been a great force for
social betterment. He denies that the
drug habit has gained ground because in
toxicating drink has been forbidden, and
points to statistics as indicating a decline
of no less than % per cent in infectious
social disease cases. Half the rescue
homes of the Salvation Army have been
closed since the land went dry, he says,
and the records, alike of penal institu-
tiOns and tuberculosis sanatoria, show
similar improvement.

SOUND BUSINESS.

1t looks, at first sight, like lamentable
waste to send to the dump heap ships
newly built and building on which the
United States has already spent $780,
100000 and old battleships which are
said to be worth $15O,OO0OOO or more
Here is a deliberate throwing away of
nearly half a billion dollars.
Yet it is good business, just as the
scrapping of machinery usually is in an
up-to-date factory. The United States
according to present calculations will
save the full value of the warships
strapped in a little more than two years
ana WIZ then eTiter upon period Of ac,
tuaI profit, estimated at not less than
100000, 600 a year-the cost of warships
that would otherwise have to be built and
kept up and of the expensive personnel
they would require.
That S200,000,000 should be regarded
as merely the annual interest on the big
principal thereby saved. Thus for the
half-billion dollars sacrificed, the country
gets immunity from having to make q
profitless capital investment of five bill
lions or more. And this, we hope, is but
Il beginning.

The town of Corinth is losing its doe

IT. tolerably healthy town but lacks
housing Accommodations for the doctor,
according to current report. If things
have come to this pass, it may be neces-
sary for a town to build a house for the
doctor just as the church builds a par
sonage for its spiritual doctor. If rent
ing properties are so scarce in the Cor
nths that the villages there cannot re-
tain the services of a resident physician
t would appear like a fairly good bust
ness proposition for someone, or some
organization to put up a coy little bun
yalow on the fine sloping street of the
thief village and rent it for the special
use of the town doctor. With lumber
handy and woodworking shop located in
town, the project would not seem to be
such a heavy financial outlay as it might
otherwise be.

LAND FORCES,

The United States proposal for the re-
duction of navies has been accepted by
the great powers. The working out OF
small adjustments is matter for the
committees. Soon will come discussion
of land ornaments, and in this, France
will probably lead the way, as her posi-
ton is acknowledged to be both delicate
and trying.
The relative reduction of land forces
will be a more difficult subject than the
reduction, of naval forces. But the
spirit OF confidence and faith which made
the naval proposal possible may work
another miracle in the substantial reduc
ton of armies.
There is a good deal of talk in this con
nection of the unknown quantities" OF
Russia. Germany and the Far East. But
the unknown quantities, like the known
are made up of plain people who would
rather live at peace than go to war. AnC
if the knowns establish the principles o.
peace on land and sea, there will be les
to fear from the unknowns.
