ion of this great source of lat ent power should be a primary object of every one concern ed in the districts future. The fact that the first bidders fail ed to proceed with the pro ject should be no deterrent to others. That the Helmer's in- terest did not choose to con tinue was due solely to the long delay in completing ne- gotiations for the water pow CT rendering it impossible to secure certain contracts, with out which it was considered undesirable to proceed with so large an investment. So far as known MT. Helmers considered only the appli- cation of power to mining pur- poses as the basis for calculat- ing both costs and revenues, whereas it appears that the application of a portion of the power to transportation pur. poses would provide revenues equal to or greater than those which might be anticipated from sale of power direct to the mines.

In a most praiseworthy ef- folt to protect the gullib.e public from the swindli1g depredations of the wild cat mining promoters, the Prov incial Department of Mines of British Columbia has adopted the novel expedient of having a qualified engineer examine and report on suspicious prop critics, afterward publishing the results in comparison with the claims put forth by the promoters in their advertising literature. The first of these articles, directed against 8 -oo~taiE company operating fin the local field and known as Gold Ore Mining Co.,, Ltd, ap. bearing recently in the Van couver and other British Col umbia papers, discloses in no uncertain manner the utter falsity of most of the claims made by the company in it's efforts to lure money from the pockets of the unwary.
 Although the method savers in some degree of locking the stable door after the horse is gone, in the absence of legal enactments which would total ly forestall utterance of false or delusive statements regard ing mining properties; it l. nevertheless one which should not only spare the unsophisti- cated public much loss but al- 30 act as 8 strong deterrent to the interruptions gentry en- gagged in these nefarious practices.
 Probably no industry has suf- fered from the activities of un- scrupulous promoters to the same extent as has the mining industry. The very name of mining is anathema to large percentage of conservative in- vestors, for no other reason. than that it has been used for years as an easy means for swindling the public. Statis- tics which cannot be held up to question demonstrate be- yond the per. adventure of a doubt that properly conducted mining investment is no more hazardous than any other form of investment and yields far greater returns than any other form of business. The mining industry is in fact the basis of practically all modern industry, for without the pro- ducts derived from it's pursuit practically all other indust.

ries could not be conducted on a scale to meet present day demands. Being of such vast importance to the present eco- homie and industrial system it is regrettable indeed that it does not receive the credit as an economic and industrial factor to which it is entitled instead of being forever held up to public gaze as a suspici- ous and highly hazardous in- dustry. That the B. c. gov. ernment seeks to safeguard it however feebly, from the con- tumely created by unscrupu. lnnS swindlers and black le0s is most commendable and oul own government would do we'll to follow it's example. Prohibition of publication of all mining literature and ad- vertising and sales of stock without the certification of a competent and reliable engi- neer that the properties are as represented would go a long way toward ridding the industry of it's greatest hino- rance.

AN A%NTIOUATED SYSTEM

-N
The annual school meeting held at the High School As
sembly room Monday evening last again brought forcibly to
the attention of the people of District No. 3 the need Of a dras-
tic change in the method of handling school affairs.
Approximately 400 patrons of the district crowded into the
assembly room for the meeting, while many more would have
been present had there been room for them.
Various reports We're read and it is safe to say that not
one per cent OF those present had any clear idea of what these
reports contained. Figures and tables comprised the greater
portion of these reports.
such as were presented Monday evening and know just what
they contain. Each one of these reports was very important
and contained information which the patrons of the district
should know and study over. =
After the reports We're received various appropriations
for the conduct of the schools for the ensuing year were voted.
clear understanding as to just why. In no case was there a
negative vote cast. Undoubtedly each and every appropria-
ton voted was necessary but the school patrons must remember
when paying their taxes that they are paying for the very APP
preparations which they themselves voted.
Following the receiving of the reports, the voting of APP
preparations and the authorizing of a special school levy of
five per cent and special high school levy of two per cent, two
directors to succeed Jas. w. Wisda and j. A. Hobbs were
elected. Five nominations We're made for these two positions
and 1T was necessary to take five ballots before two candi-
dates had received a majority of all votes cast.
The meeting lasted until after midnight and a great ma
jonty of those who attended left without understanding Just
what had been done excepting that two new trustees had been
elected.
Certainly some method of conducting school affairs could
be devised which would be far superior to these open school
meetings. Each and every report should be published before
a school meeting in order that the taxpayers could understand
just what had been done in the schools and Just what would
be needed for the ensuing year. Nominations for directors
should be made before the day of the meeting and they should
be voted upon the same as are candidates for any other pub
lie position with the two high candidates declared elected.
1t is hoped that the annual school meetings in their present
form will soon be a thing of the past and that something much
more efficient will be installed.

SCHOOLS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE

\ careful study of the annual report of the treasurer of
school district No. 3 and of the report of the auditing com
mittee shows that during the past year school affairs have been
conducted in a very efficient manner.
The school board, comprised of DR.. f. A. Kel, |. j. Rendle
Jas. w. Wisda, DR.. a. +. Thode, j. A. Hobbs and c. A. Brim-
mer, have conducted affairs in a businesslke manner and at
the present time school finances are not overdrawn.
Not only in the matter of finances are conditions in this
district in excellent shape but in the schools themselves con-
diions are very good. The report of Superintendent Coleman
shows that excellent progress has been made in the schools
during the past year and the general scholastic standard of
the Rawhns schools has been materially raised. While the
enrolment in the schools this year was but very little greater
than last year, the average attendance was much higher than
in any previous year.
No little credit for the excellent condition of the schools
is due to Jas. w. Wisda, who has been a faithful member of
the school board for six years past. Jimmie has always taken
a deep interest in school affairs and has at all times been right
on the job; School District No. 3 is deeply indebted to Mr..
Wlsda for his services and the taxpayers are mighty fortunate
in having as a member of the board a man of his ability.
The other retiring member of the board, j. A. Hobbs, has
also been a very faithful member of the board for the past
three years.

McAndrew's Plan of
Abolishing Councils
Criticized by Board

Superintendent Of Schools Mean
drew's campaign to destroy the teach
ers' councils was criticized In the
board of education yesterday after
noon. "Only by the widest stretch Of
the imagination could the superin-
tendent's plan be called teachers
councils" said Mrs. w. S. Hefferan,
chairman Of the committee on admin
lstration at their meeting yester-
day. Mrs. Hefferan was speaking of
McAndrew's substitute for teachers
participation in the schools which was
in effect. the abolition OF the coun-
ellis.
II have been ashamed of the fact
that the old council has been ruth
lessly and suddenly destroyed" Trus-
tee Mullenbach said.
The McAndrew plan was again re-
ferred to the superintendent yester.
day, and may be voted on later by
the administration committee.
