The Cliffside club has a collection of sterling silver trophies which is a credit to any organization. Included in this collection is the Ahearn Cup for the ladles' championship; the P.

D. Ross Cup for tho senior Jumping championship; the W. K. Cowling Cup for the senior turning championship; the Anrep Cup for the junior championship, and others. On account of their value and the difficulty that would be met in replacing- them, the Cliffside club, at its inception.

decided that these trophies would be for annual competition always. A bitter struggle fa anticipated on Saturday, when Orville Moore and "Dick" Reynolds lock horns in the Cliffside race. Both boys are In great shape, and although Moore is the better skier, Reynolds' absolute stick-to-itiveness more than makes up for the absence of some of tho finer points of ski-ing. It is the general poinion that either will win and that the difference in times will bo very small. Although Moore and Reynolds are favorites, surprises have happened before and a dark horse may spring up and beat both of them.

Asuoeiatrd Pre llespalch. MOSCOW, Feb. 8. Soviet leaders in a series of conferences held during the past fortnight have definitely decided against Russia's participa tion in any European or Near Eastern war growing out of the Ruhr or Lausanne situations, the correspondent learns.

Russia will defend herself if attacked, but will take no active part in a conflict outside her own territory, even to aid German workers should a revolution develop in Germany. Russia's leaders believe that she needs peace for her reconstruct tion and want her to be in the position to play a profitable neutral role in the European war which some believe will be inevitable sooner or later. COMPLETION OF HIGHWAY URGED TORONTO, Feb. 8. A deputation from Haileybury, Cochrane and Cobalt today waited on Premier Drury with a request that the highway from North Bay to Cochrane he completed.

The road from Cobalt to Cochrane has been completed with the exception of two gups of about 20 miles. There is a road from Cobalt to South Lorrain and another running about 20 miles out from North Bay. The suggestion is td extend the North Bay road to MAKE INFORITION AVAILABLE TO ALL Surveyors Discuss Practical Value to Prospective Settlers of Data They Have Tabulated. The practical ralue of the tabulated information gathered by the land classification surveys in solving the problems confronting land settlement, and the immigration policy of the country, occupied the attention of the Dominion Iand Surveyors' Association this niornins. C.

P. Hotchklcs, of the Topographical Survey Branch, stated that 'he application of these classifications to future (settlement would prove of more and morn practical value In placing prospective settlers on suitable land, where their success would be assured, at less than formerly. Made I nets Known There was some earnest discussion following Mr. Hote-hktss' address on the best niethotls of making the information available to would-be-settlers from overseas, before they come to this country, and sucsrested that much of th nasi unre- liable information and the exaggeration concerning the natural resources of the Dominion could be corrected if all branches of th Government Survey would make the facts they gather in their work known to the public. A striking paper on the operations of the Geodetic Purvey of Canada and its accomplishments in fixing points of reference was also given.

Hai of Survey. The extensive value of geodetic work in Canada was emphasized a paper by Noel Ofrime, nuperm- tendent of the Oeodetic Survey of Canada. It was pointed out that the geodetic survey was a survey which established in a permanent manner, a aeries of points of reference, at convenient distances apart. who geographical positions have been accurately determined by 'nets of triangulation and astronomical ob aervalions. It determined the accurate elevations above aea level of permanently marked points along main railways, and in the principal towns and cities, by lines of precise levelling.

It therefore formed th basis of survey and mapping work oarried on by other departments of the Dominion government, by the provincial governments and by municipalities and corporations and private persons. Mr. Ogilvie stated that to date the total area of complete triangulation field work was approximately 170.000 square miles, in addition to which a start had been made on 000 square miles. In the spring of ISIl an arrangement was made between the United States Coast and Oeodetic Survey and the Geodetic Survey of Canada for co-operative action In extending a primary triangulation net along the 4th parallel international boundary to form a basis for all future triangulation work which may be required on the prairies. It was agreed that the Canadian portion of this survey should extend from the Lake of the Woods to the 109th meridian and the American parties should survey the section between the 109th meridian and the Pacific Coast.

Reconnaissance covering about S00 miles of the Canadian section had been completed, while station preparation and angular measurements I 20. Obstacle race, open, final heat, 2 laps. 1. Men's, open, 2 miles: 1st prize, challenge cup. silver vase; Snd prise, sterling silver pencil; 3rd prize.

Ottawa Playgrounds Commission badge. Lore of the Ski Trail Jty JOHN GltAHAM. Enthusiasm in ski-ing is certainly gaining ground among the members of the Bu Brigid's Young Men's Association. The club is holding its weekly run tonight, the members meeting at the club rooms at 7.43 p.m. The trail leads through Itock-cliffe Park and returns to the start- lug point, where supper will be served and dancing will follow.

On Sunday, the Ottawa club is holding Its club championship race. The course is to be of about ten miles and starts and finishes at their lodge near Lake Fortune. A large list of entries is expected, and George Audette, present champion, will have hard work to retain his laurels. Some of the other boys who should make a good showing are. Jack Bourgault.

who made such a good showing in last year's Domin ion championship; Eric Roy, Louis Audette. John Roughsedge and Mc-Closky. The last mentioned is a new-comer to ski-racing circles, and is expected to do well. i Bourgault was running along in fine shape during the province of Quebec race, held recently, when ha experienced an attack of cramps. Although suffering intense pain, be finished, to the credit of his club.

He has been training faithfully all season, and It would not be a sur prise if he romped home in first place. Collegiate Race. The first event to determine the wltiner of the Gray Cup. emblematic of the all-round ski-ing championship of the Collegiate Institute, is to be run off on Saturday afternoon. The championship is determined by three competitions, racing, Jumping and turning, and the contestant who amasses the greatest number of points from all the events, wins the trophy.

The course starts from the Cliff-side clubhouse at Fairy Lake, is to be of reasonable length and finishes at the clubhouse. President Fred Taylor, of the O.C.I. Club, will have a large list of entries on hand, and a keenly contested race should result. The Gray Cup was presented to the Cliffside club by Mr. Charles A.

Uray. and is of sterling silver. It is a beautiful trophy and has been the cause of many a hard fought struggle. The Cliffside club, in turn, put it up for competition among the pupils of the O.C.I. The points are awarded as follows: 20 for first place In each event; 15 for second place in each event; 10 for third place in each event; 8 for fourth place in each event; 7 for fifth place in each event; 6 for sixth place in each event; 5 for all other competitors, i At the conclusion of the third event the one who has the greatest number of points is awarded the trophy.

In this way the Cliffside club felt that they could encourage the sport in all its branches at the Collegiato. For Devlin Cup. On Saturday afternoon, as well as the O.C.I, race, the Cliffside club is staging its club championship running event, the winner of which is awarded the K. J. Devlin Co.

Ltd. Cup. The course is to be of about ten miles, and should indeed test the ability and endurance of the entrants. Alan Coulter will be in charge, and he has mapped out a trail that is a combination of ali 1 that a skier meets while following the sport. The start and finish will I 48 miles, at an estimated cost of half a million dollars.

The coimiiiysionfrs replied that the warshios would remain whure they are. To this. Le Matin continues, the Turkish authorities announced that they would compel the craft to depart unless they went of their own tree will.

If such an incident arises, the newspaper as serts, no power, preserve peace, however anxious to would be able to limit its effect.

1 ISEVtir CABINET MEETS. PARIS, eb. 8. The Turkish or der that the Allied warships must leave Smyrna was discussed at a meeting of the French cabinet in the foreign ottioe this morning, this development being considered in connection with tho ending of the Lausanne conference. The preach government is exchanging view with London and Home regarding the procedure to bo followed in the efforts to reach a state of peace in the Near East.

Until further dcvelop- merits, it is understood in rrencn official circles that the Lausanne con ference will be considered still in being and will be regarded as finally terminated only when the general secretary Rives notification to that effect. The hope is that the negotiations will be resumed as soon as Ismet Pasha returns from Angora. The cabinet had rather meager reports from Smyrna, due to the slowness of communications with that port, but it is supposed that all the Allied ships there are remaining In port. These include the French cruiser Ernest Itenan, the French destroyer Somali, the Eritish eruiser Cambrian, the Italian cruiser Vene-lia. tho Dutch warship Admiral Tromp and one I'.

S. destroyer. 1 ipluuutlon of Order. Premier Poincare informed the cabinet that the Vail of Smyrna had exolained the order that the Allied shins leave by the fact that the Turks feared resumption of hostilities by the Greeks and wanted to be free to take such measures of pro tection in the port of Smyrna as cir cumstances seemed to warrant. The French government remains in full accord with the, British to resist any effort by the Turks to profit from the break-up at Lausanne and free themselves from the measures of protection taken by the Allies.

The policy of the Allies at present with reference to the Near East negotiations is to wait for an indication of how the Turks, after reflection, feel regarding the terms proposed at Lausanne. Meanwhile the French, the British and Italians will remain united in opposition to any tendency by the Turks to shake off such Allied control as is necessary to assure the protection of the foreign population.

ON LEWI1 ISLAND Exodus of 800 Immigrants From Hebrides May Disrupt Lord Leverhulme's Plans. ty IIKKV SOMKHVIIXR. Sperlsl t'ahle The Kvenins; Clllren. LONDON, Feb 8. Eight hundred young Immigrants from Hebrides will i-onstitute an exodus of the labor supply and may be the end of the industrialization schemes in Lewis Island of Lord Leverhulme, the soap millionaire, which have caused a bitter struggle with the crofters.

Lord Leverhulme purchased the island and announced he would spend large capital on its development. Two companies were formed with a combined capital of seven hundred thousand pounds. Lord Leverhulme promised to make roads, build houses, a fish canning factory, carding and spinning milis, organize the whole rishing industry and provide air transport across to the mainland. The islanders expected an ra of prosperity from the development plans but were disappointed. The crofters were unwilling to give up their agricultural life and become industrial workers as Lord leverhulme wanted.

Lord Leverhulme was op posed to crofting and yet he delayed his development schemes whilst a large number of ex-service men were on the island landless, and work less. The sequel was that these men raided the land withheld from cultiva tion, built rough dwellings for themselves and established crofts in defiance of Lord Leverhulme and the law. At the end of 1920 Lord Leverhulme said if 1 he raiders would with draw from the illegally occupied farms and If he was given until 1930 to prove the success of his industrial schemes before the government scheduled lands Were to be taken as crofts, he would proceed with the development. Soon afterwards, however. Lord Leverhulme said all developments would be postponed owing to high prices and nothing further has been done, I.cverlmlnw I nopuliir.

The unpopularity of Lord Leverhulme among Highland Scots was manifested when he used his Hebrides proprietorship to adopt the title of Viscount Leverhulme of the Western Isles, In the counties of Inverness, Ross and Cromarty. Indignant Gaels asserted this meant that the man from Wlgan, who made a fortune out of sonp, had annexed the whole of the outer and one of the inner Hebrides islands. The title "Lord of the Isles" was once one of the proudest and most romantic In Scotland, having been granted to the great Thane of Argyle in 1135 by David I when that king drove the Norwegians from Arran, Butte and other islands. From the marriage of this Thane of Argyle sprang the Clan Macdonald, which is the next generation. The title "Lord of the Isles" now belongs to His Majesty the King.

The Gaelic Society sent a protest against Leverhulme's assumption of the Western Isles title to Premier Bonar Law, who answered it had been sanctioned by the College of Heraldry and It was too late to make a change. Scottish societies are Tiow protesting against heraldic questions connected with Scotland being settled bv the English college.

In outlining the various points of value of the geodetic survey to the country, Mr.

Ogilvie stated that the provincial departments of Ontario, Quebec and Uritish Columbia were among the most energetlo sup- porters of systematic triangulation and precise levelling, as they were perhaps more assiduous in map-making than any other provincial organizations. Many municipalities, such as Quebec, Montreal, Toronto, 7 Hamilton, London, Vancouver, Halifax, bt. John, had requested aid. Land Settlement. That land classification surveys were a step toward the ultimate solution of a satisfactory land set-w tlement policy in Canada wns a point stated in an address on Jind Classification Surveys and Their Bearing upon a I Settlement Policy, by C.

T. Hotchkisa, of the Topographical Surveys Branch. He explained that a few years ago two parties of surveyors had been sent by the surveyor general into the tip- per peace Kivcr country to gate and report on certain subdivided but vacant land with a view toward assisting the Soldier Settlement Board in plaelng soldiers on the land. The information obtained from these surveys proved to bo of such practical value, not only in this connection but to various other branches of the government and to the public interested in the district examined, that when the original object of the work had been attained, its further usefulness for other purposes was so apparent that these surveys had been continually extended until last season five parties of surveyors had been engaged In this class of work. As one reason why this work had been undertaken, Mr.

Hotrhkies pointed out that mistakes had been made in the settlement poliry in the West where areas had been settled and farming attempted where it would appear that the land was only suitable for stock raising. The primary purpose of bind classification surveys was to ascertain the location, extent and character of Dominion lands suitable for settlement and to place this information, properly classified, in an intelligent form before intending settlers. Id conclusion, Mr. Hotchkiss said: "Agriculture is our basic industry. There are, doubtless, millions of acres In the West, if only properly selected, which are waiting to be tilled.

has often been said recently that there are 20,000,000 acres of vacant land close to the railways which might be settled and developed. But where are they? AVould not land classification surveys be the best means of locating these lands?" Complete with 6 double-sided 75c records and needles all ready-to play; balance $1.50 weekly.
