After weeks of hard work in which, patience was a wonderful asset, and. In which a wide assortment ot machinery was pressed Into the service ot coaxing water from Mother Earth, those in charge have had good success during the week and the Ice ha built up rapidly. The finished rink, with its high board enclosure and efficient lighting system, will be a wonderful asset to the town. It is by far the largest skating surface ever provided In Smith-ers, having a width of eighty feet and a length of two hundred and five feet. Spectators will be provided with shelter from wintry blasts and everything promises for success in the venture from the standpoint ot public enjoy, ment. The hockey season will be ushered In on Christmas afternoon, when two teams picked from the town hockey league will supply the eiclte. ment.

When the Rossland and Nelson teams jet down to practice will all depend on "Old Man Winter."

Schools, col. leges, athletic and other clubs are tak ing up the game la, unprecedented numbers. It is significant that there Is a great demand for hockev sticks for children. The game is spreading all over tne Republic, even to Texas: and California, and the day may come yet when 'pro. team will have another source ot supply than Canada upon which to draw. It Is to be hoped that everything possible will be done to build well upon the foundation that ha been laid. The development of the game has reached a critical stage, and Its professional promoters have a responsibility on their hands perhaps greater than they know. Let them cooperate with Canadians to make the game as attractive aa possible.
