 |C. P. R. MARINER, DIES AT VICTORIA
Retired Manager of Prin- cess Fleet Succumbs
 to Bronchitis

VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 1.-Capt J. w. Troup, for sixty years identi- fled with shipping and railway de- velopment on the Pacific Coast, died yesterday of heart failure after an attack of bronchitis.
 Capt. Troup was head of the Canadian Pacific British Columbia steamship service from the time it was acquired from the old Can adian Navigation Company until four years ago when he retired on account of advancing age. When he took over the management of the British Columbia service of the Canadian Pacifis, it had only few vessels in the service. Now, there are twenty-three passenger ships in the Princess fleet.
 Capt. Troup. an American by birth, was a Columbia River steam CT captain in his younger days, but came to British Columbia more than two score year sago. He was widely known and very popular.

There can be no doubt but that much Of the oppo-
sltion which is being voiced to the valuation of the Low
er Ko Grande Conservation district on Sept. 8 is due.
70 re tear that formation of the district will give the
valley one more political entity with bond issuing powers.
IL has been stated before and should be stated con-
stantly by those interested in the formation Of the dis
trict' that the district will have no such bond issuing pow
ers as some of those opposed seem to fear.
The only power along financial lines given to the
district by the bill which authorized its formation is the
power to levy a tax not to exceed SC on the 500 valua-
ton as imposed by the state and county tax assessor.
We cannot blame residents of some sections of the
Valley for being skittish when bond issues are mention
ed. Power of issuing bonds and warrants has been abused
by many Valley political subdivisions and the instructive
fear that this conservation district will lead to additional
bonds or warrants is most natural.
Taxing powers of the district will be nominal. The
maximum tax, if imposed, would give the directors of the
district approximately $4,000 per year for the expen-
SEES of the district, assuming that all of the taxes were
collected. However, temporary board of directors which
will serve until the permanent board is elected in Jan
uary, 1882, has expressed the belief that a tax Of &c on
the 800. which would yield approximately $4,000 per
year, will be sufficient for the purposes of the district.
Purposes of the district. the securing of a treaty
with Mexico defining the water rights of the Valley and
conservation of the water we need for irrigation pur-
poses, are surely worth the nominal tax which most Of
us will pay.

Youths Guiding Light

The world conference Of the Y. NJ. G. "A. found that the
worlds young people are dissatisfied and restless, conscious
of standing on a new frontier but having no notion Of what
may be ahead of them.
In this fact there is both hope and danger.
Considering the sorry mess that we adults have made in
the world in the last decade or two it can't be anything but
encouraging to learn that youth II doubling our wisdom
and is preparing to strike out for itself along a new trail.
But looking for a new path isn't the safest task imaginable.
This dissatisfaction of youth since the World War has led
to innumerable tragedies. 1t has caused the destruction of
many fine young men and women. II has led to such dis
maying phenomena as the athestc youth movement Of
Russia and the hard-boled Fascism Of restless young
Italians and Germans.
Naturally enough, then, the international Y NJ. c. A. feels
that 1t can tackle no more important job than the job of try
ing to get youth started in the right direction.
Just how that is 70 be done is perpleXing. The first thing
that youth lost when the worlds fonies disilusioned it was
its old respect for its elders. 1t has not, for more than a de-
cade, been in a mood to take a great deal of advice from
the rest of us.
Yet the job can be done-if only a genius or two will come
along 10 10 il. Tor youth is as ready now as ever to follow
an ideal, if it can find a worthy one. Indeed, it il chiefly
because the old ideals that we held up to youth fell into.
the mud that young men and women today are restless and
rebellious. They have an enormous fund Of idealism, an
enormous reservoir of unselfish Falkland we are not
giving them a chance to use it.
The confusion Of youth is chiefly our own fault; and #
youth fails to find an objective on which it can lavish its
faith and hope-that, too, will be largely our fault.
