Figures just issued Mi&lhtjt in British Columbia alone the amount bet on the pari-muliM system amounted this year to over six and a quarter miljjon dollars. That is a huge sum to be diverted from the regular avenues of trade. It is a lot of money for people to lose ami also for people to win. The people who lose can often ill afford it and to the people who win it is of little use fqr they blow it in just as carelessly as they won it. . .Mouey has little value to the ordinary person today. He spends it as freely as if he had millions and when he is without any he starts all over again. We are passing through a period of looseness in our habits of life and just where it will lead no otie seems to be able to tell. In connection with race track betting the chief objection comes ifrom store keepers whose bills remain unpaid, the money which they should have received having gone into the pockets of some lucky winner at the track and partly into the hands of the government which levies a lax on the winnings. 1 Too Many Accidents From Fast Driving. ." In the south there have been many serious accidents as a result of fast driving while here we have been fairly free. Yet there is now, and then a tendency -on the part of drivers to exceed the speed limit, thus endangering the lives uf pedestrians and others. Trials on charges of manslaughter follow accident, but mis aoes noi seem 10 stop me evil, constant supervision is necessary and it would almost sem as if some form tif license which could be cancelled by the civic authorities would be good thing, this should not be for the purpose or raising money but simply to give t hie. local police an . opportunity , to prevent reckless drivers from using the streets., Terrace As A Mlnlna Centre. Terrace is gradually developing as a mining, centre. There are a number of good properties surrounding the city and the prospectors are always in the field finding new ones. Some of the mines, it. is hoped, will be on the shipping list soon. as.elsewhere, however, transportation is the difficulty. The government finds itself with dozens of districts similarly situ-ajed .and is unable to spend more than a specified sum each year in 'road building and repair work. This year the bridge at Terrace has been a great expense clhe rest of the neonle of British Columbia but it is to be honed that the government will see its way clear to continue the Work oi.the road to Kalum Lake in order that the mines there mpy be 'developed and may commence to return revenue to the country. ;v"We all want money spent in our respective districts but we do not all want to pay taxes. Prince Rupert wants roads Terrace wants roads, Usk wants roads, llazelton, Smithers, llli'riis Lake, Vanderhoof, Kndako, Prince fieorge anil a hundred othe'r nlaces are all clamorintr for more monev for the roads. The' amount must necessarily be limited to the appropriation set uide by the Legislature. A good deal of wtrk'is done each year and gradually the country is being opened up so that transportation is made possible.

ICEBERG THAT WAS WATER-LOGGED ON THE NEWFOUNDLAND SHORE Explorer MacMillan Tells - Seeing It at Bottom and Losing Bet of I)o icebergs ever sink? While it is the general impression Mint an iceberg will slay afloat, a local friend of Captain Donald H.

MacMillan saw that further argu-Imenl was useless and demanded proof. This was what the fisherman had been looking ff, hut first he wanted lo cast a Utile official light on the matter by making it the subject of a wager. MacMillan finally agreed that he would stand treat if the other would point out a real honest iceberp, in a place where ice is never found, al the bnjtom of the sea. A Utile sail bal was by the shore and the explorer was In vited to step inside. The wind took the sail and, in a short time, the voyapers were several miles out from land. "Now then, said he fisherman. "look down there and tell me whal you see. ' MacMillan peered over Ihe edpei and sure enough he saw an iceberg resting solidly on the bottom. The fisherman grinned triumphantly as Ihey headed the boat back In shore. MacMillan naid Ihe waper like a sportsman, but did not have Ihe heart to say that in the cn te ehlforedn say Ihal in the cenMr of Ihe ice lie had seen a boulder weighing many tons.
