The news was given out this morning that the western section would have their track finished to the Nechaco on April 2, and a temporary bridge across the river. The eastern section of the mountain division will reach the bridge with their track on April 5 and rails will then be joined to permit of relling stock and equipment being brought in from the east. The joining up is only temp- orary and will not be celebrated by any formalities. There will be a few officials who are now in Fort George present at the time, and General Superintendent W. C. C. Mehan will also be there. Temporary tracks have been laid around some of the unfinish- ed cuts and these are being util- ized for getting %n the equip-| ment for ballasting. The bal- lasting work will be rushed through and everything done to have the formal opening of the road made later in the season. Fire on Comox Avenue A fire Comox alarm was sent in from avenue about nine Icst evening. The brigade responded quickly, but as’ the fire was lo- cated in a cottage occupied by Agnes Williams some distance beyond the end of the plank road, there was some delay in getting a stream on. The fire started from an overheated stove. The room where the stove stood was badly scorched, but about $100 will probably cover the damage The furni- ture was all removed from the} house.

Although it had been claimed, he said, that a distinguished scientist within proceeded atomic recent years had succeeded in creating a living organism from this claim had been disproved, and far as human knowledge went at the present time we could not intelligently understand “life” apart from the admission of a Creator. Mr. Peddie further em- phasized his views by giving in- stances of the marvellous inge- nuity of the spider and other in- and the wonderful preci- sion which marked the move- ments of the heavenly bodies, The subject was not of a con- troversial nature, but there was plenty of proof that the members dead matter, subsequently so sects, were not blind to the signifi- eance of the “unexplainable” in life. ifrom beginning to end.
