"which
may
bring
an
Invaluable
Christmas
gift
to
Thomas
Mell-lis,
one
of
the
inmates
of
the
Pioneers'
Home.
If
sufficient
funds
can
be
raised
at
once,
it
may
be
possible
to
send
Mr.
Meillas
to
Vancouver
for
consultation
with

JiThe

by
Dr.
C.

Hankinson
who
advises
that
he
is
totally
blind
to
one
eyeand
has
very
little
sight
in
the

the
diagnosis
being
'cataract."

the
elderly
gentle-min,
if.
he
could
get
to
Vancouver,
might
be
able
to

The
funds
are
needed
to
finance
the
trip

Vancouver
and
the
patient's

while
there.

ARCHIBALD
ON
NEW
TARIFFS
Satsfaction,
with
a
few
exceptions,
at
the
new
tariff
arrangements
between
Canada
and
the
United
States
was
expressed
yesterday
by
II.
O.
Archibald,
M.P.
for
Skeena.
Mr.
Archibald
admitted
that
,
of
necessity,
there
must
be
bargaining
but,
by
and
large,
he
apparently,
felt
that
a
reoson-oble
bargain
had
been
made.
"Basically,"
commented
the
C.
F.F.
member,
"the
tariff
arrangements
with
the
United
States
seem
to
have
been
designed
to
give
the
farmer
a
break."
While
the
reduction
in
the
United
States
tariff
on
halibut
and
salmon
will
result
In
some
benefit
for
the
fisheries
of
this
coast.
Mr.
Archibald
noted
that
codfish
was
an
exception
from
this-
concession
which
meant
that
there
would
be
no
relief
lor
the
already
languishing
Nova
Scotia
fishery.
Meanwhile
the
United
States
fishing
fleet
could
go
on

Banks.

heavy
item,
would
not
tend
to
the
use
or

of
Canada's
great

Mr.
Archibald
felt.
The
new
tariff,
Mr.
Archibald
felt,
should
have
a
tendency
to
reduce
