ability dates OF the Valley Mid-Win-
ter Fair this year will be Monday,

/. it was announced here Friday by
Sam Bolts, president.
Mr.. Bolts said that the advisory
board Of the fair is considering the

nouncement will be made within a
few days. but that he is practically
sure the dates will be November 20

for these dates has been expressed
By most Of the members.
In the past the Fair has usually
started on Thursday. Thanksgiving

that such a duration Of time is too
much. and that the entertainment
program and all events can be
crowded into five or six days. the
exhibits kept IN better shane. more
interest aroused, and n better fair
staged.
Several conferences between the
president and the rev manager.
John r. Floore, have been held on
the matter.
II is possible that the fair this
year will not be started until Tues

ENTITLED TO THE CREDIT.

The name of Christopher Columbus has not escaped the notice of the "debunkers" of history. Ever the object of at- tack by theorists who credit the discovery of the New World to the Vikings, it has been even more bitterly assail- ed recently by a European critic, who endeavored to disprove every achievement claimed for Columbus, from making an egg stand on end to landing on South America.
 But such attacks have been well-nigh forgotten if they ev- CT attracted serious attention. The reason is that the voyage of Columbus and his three little ships, the Santa Maria, Pinta and Nina, across un- charted seas, the days and nights of anxiety and almost of mutiny and the sighting after many disappointments of a little island in the West In- dies on October 12, 1892, form one of the dramatic pictures in history.
 What does it matter if Col umbus did not realize that he had found a new world? What if others preceded him to it's shores? If the Norsemen did what was credited to them, it is patent that the world was no better off for their exploit. But that of Columbus opened new continents and filled western seas with ships. Not all the debunking that can be done can deny or decry that fact or take from him the credit for that achievement.

Ole Olson had been working as an engine wiper, and his boss a thrifty man, had been coaching him for promotion to fireman with such advice as: "Now, Ole, don't waste a drop of oil-that costs money. And don't waste the waste, either that's getting expensive, too." When Ole went up to be quest toned on his eligibility for an engineman he was asked
 Suppose you are on your en- zine on a single track. You go around a curve, and you see rushing toward you an ex- press. What would you do?"

DUTIES OF THE MINING
 EXCHANGE. . Vancouver Sun)

A new scale of commissions, representing a drastic cut of nearly 50 per cent, was an nounced yesterday by the B e. Mining and Stock Exchange. This new schedule will facili- tate trading and meet with the broad approval of the pub lie.
 But something that would facilitate trading even more and meet with even broader approval from the public would be an announcement from the Exchange that it has taken steps to standardize the values of mining stocks in which it deals.
 Thousands of shares of min ing stocks are put upon the market at a price that has no relation whatever to the actu- al value they represent. This does not mean that the prop critics upon which they are drawn are worthless. But too much money may be going to promotion, the Company may be over-capitalized or the min- eral deposits may be so located as to be expensive of access.
 Thus a man of small means may investigate a proposition, and be shown positively that the ore is there. He buys stock at say 100, only to find that through one of these reasons, his stock drops to a more nor mai level of ten.
 That man, and the thousands like him, become embittered, and a "knocker" of British Columbia mines, British Col umbia brokers and the B. c. Mining Exchange. His experi- ence has become a definite li- ability against mining develop ment in this province.
 To afford a genuine service of benefit to B. c. Mining de- velopment, to the public and to itself, the Mining Exchange should standardize the value of mining stock after careful investigation of the following points:
 1. The geology of the claim.
 2. The geography of the claim.
 3. The capital of the company.
 4. How much moeny is going
