Verne, of Vancouver, president of the Western branch of the Canadian Amateur Ski Association of Canada, has given his approval to the holding of the western championship meeting and the Olympic game trials at Prince George, If the newly formed association there will arrange to take the meeting over. This meeting was to have been held at Grouse Mountain, but the collapse of the traffic bridge over the Narrows at Vancouver rendered It inadvisable to hold the meeting there this season. The decision was communicated to Pete Sandnes of the Prince George organization and came In the riftture of a surprise, as, while It was hoped the western skiing championship meeting might be brought there, there was no thought the Olympic games .trials would also be sent there. It will be from among the contestants In these trials that the representatives will be chosen for the Olympic games at Lake Placid in New York State. If the officers of the Prince George association decide to go ahftd with the meeting in their city the date will have to be fixed In between the Dominion championship meeting at Revelstoke on February 3 and 4 and the annual tour nament of the Bums Lake club, which to to take place on February 14. Mr. Sandnes says it is a remarkable tribute to Prince George that the Olympic trials should be sent here, while the Dominion championship meet comes so close at RevelJtoke. but he thinks this decision was reached in view of the superiority of the facilities on Con-naught Hill for jumping, which by the way very closely resembles those of Lake Placid, and the superiority of Prince Oeorge district over Revelstoke for conducting cross-country races. Mr. Sandnes says a meeting of ITALIAN GIANT HOME FOR MILITARY SERVICE Primo Camera, who. is to do his military service, tells mother about his experiences in the land of much gold. contests from outside points in ad- i ditlon to a considerable number spectators.

BURKE Vahcouver Provinces Writes Touch' Ing Valedictory -For Intrepid Northern Airman They have done the last honors for Captain Paddy Butke, says the Vancouver Province editorially. they made him a grave In the little burial ground of Allln; among the pine trees, where It looks across the frozen lake. They burled him there, With the Union Jack for shroud, and six returned men to carry him for the last time, because he had been a soldier of the Great War. The people of that little lonely outpost were all there, to stand beside the dead man's widow and his children, so that' they might not be altogether lonely in his death. The comrades of his last adventure by air and land were there, Emll Kadlng and Bob Marten, who were with him when he died on the trail. Gold Commissioner Wright read the service at the grave. This was at Atlln, In sixty north, where the nights are long In the winter solstace, where men are few and friendship is dear, and death has sometimes a very bitter sting. There, was pride as well as sorrow In the story that was told In the burial ground of Atlin, and the people who stood at the grave of Captain Burke had all their share in both. All the wilderness of the north country was one community In the adventure of the search after those three men, forced down In their airplane in the Llard country and compelled to attempt the long trek to Atlln. The attempt to save them all three alive had been such a gal lant and staunch thing. The ultimate rescue of two of them, waiting for death by the side of their dead friend, was splendid with the pluck and skill and endurance of the young 'airman Everett Wasson and the guide Joe Walsh. The story of the vigil kept by Kadlng and Mar-, ten, waiting for the same death wnicn naa come 10 nurse, was a story of the heroic, with no small-ness In the make of It. We are right to think that the people were greatly moved who stood In the little bur ial ground of Atlln and heard the voice of the commissioner go up on me siui air among me pines. It haa ended at this graveside, in an outpost of the northern wilder ness, and the neighbors and com rades of Captain Burke were saying their last good-bye to a good man; and the wife and the children who had waited and watched through all those long weeks had their pride and their affection to comfort their grief. And yet, surely, that Is not the last word, and that could not have been the only comfort. For the story of the Burke adventure Is strong and splendid In human friendship, which endured to the uttermost. And there is no comfort in life that is better than that, and none on the way to death.
