NEW TOWNS ON THE |
CANADIAN NORTHERN

Fourteen Projected to be Sixty
Miles Apart on Main Line

The Canadian Northern rail-
way announced the other day the
location of 14 new stations to be
constructed along the main trans
continental line of their road.
These are to be ereeted from
Port Mann, B.C., and will be but
sixty miles apart. The points at
which they will be ereeted be-
ginning with Port Mann are:
Langley, Glen Valley, Mount Leh-
man, Matequi, Samas Mountain
Chilliwack, Rosedale, Popkum,
St. Elmo, Fioods, Hope, Trafal-
gar and Yale.

The construction, of the sta-
is to be immediately un-
dertaken. Following their com-

Mr. MeKinnon, bartender at the
Savoy Hotel, testified that Foley {
had presented the cheque to him
in payment for drinks and that
he had cashed it, retaining $2.00
that Foley owed him for drinks.
Brown, in whose favor the cheque
was drawn, said that he never
gave the cheque to anyone, but
that he had become intoxicated
and when he came to the cheque
was missing He also testified
that he had not endorsed the
cheque. This was the substance
of the Crown's case. Foley, the
accused, who conducted his own
case, deposed that Brown had
given him the cheque for safe-
keeping and on being further
questions by Judge Young said
that he had left some twenty
dollars with a bartender at the
Central Hotel. The latter was
called as a witness in the ac-
cused’s behalf and corroborated
the statement but testified that

Foley had not told him the money |
was in safekeeping for anyone
but himself. Later Foley had
asked for and received a portion
of this money. As the evidence
was decidedly clear against the
accused he was convicted and
sentenced by His Honor Judge
Young to a term of two years in
the penitentiary at New West-
minster,

CHURCHILL'S OLIVE
BRANCH SNEERED AT

Met with a Most Discouraging
Reception in German
Press.

 

New York, March 31.—A Ber-
lin cable says: ‘The naval holi-
day olive branch offered by Win-
ston Churchill, the first lord of
the admiralty, in the British
House of Commons, has met, up
to the present, with a most dis-
couraging reception in Germany.

“The officials of the German
ministry of marine will remain

‘| discreetly silent until the full text

of the speech is received by mail,
but it may be inferred from the
general tone in official quarters
that the English cabinet minis-
ter’s proposition to suspend naval
construction for one year is an
impossible one. It is only in
professedly pacific circles that
there is any sign of a readiness
to consider his proposal. In other
quarters the hostility to the sug-
gestion is not only violent but is
often vulgar.”

The secretary of the Pan-
German Press, which is mainly
responsible for anti-British feel-
ing in Berlin, is outdoing itself
in vituperation of Mr. Churchill,
whose suggestion is frankly be-
lieved to be*a foul plot to cheat
Germany under the guise of a
friendly agreement and to bring
her under the British yoke.
