FRASER. Death of Late James Murphy Accidental, Jury Finds Ashcroft, B. Jan. 29. After a search extending well Into a week the body of James Murphy, who disappeared on the night of January 16, was discovered at 1 o'clock yesterday on the bed of the Thompson River in fifteen feet of water.

The coroner's jury returned a verdict that James Murphy came to his death on or about January 16 by ac cidentally slipping' over the bank of the Thompson River at a point about 400 yards south of the town of Ashcroft, and being drowned. The funeral will take place at St. Joseph's Mission, near the old family homestead, in Cariboo, but the dae is not yet fixed. The death of James Murphy by drowning removes one of the best known solicitors in British Columbia, and a former member of the Legislature. Mr, Murphy belonged to a pioneer Irish family who settled in the Carl-boo, and he was born at 141-Mile House onMarch 9, 1872, the son of Dennis and Ellen Murphy, and thus a younger brother of Mr.

Justice Murphy. -James Murphy was educated at St. Joseph's Mission Schools, Cariboo, and like his brother proceeded to the Ottawa University, the great Catholic university, where he graduated. In 1897 he was called to the British Columbia bar, and practised at Rev- elstoke for two years, leaving there for Armstrong in 1899, where he re malned for. six years.

In 1905 he es tablished a legal practice in partner ship with Mr. Macintyre in Kam loops, where he remained for four Of late years he has resided at Ashcroft. -Mr. Murphy entered the Legisla ture for Cariboo in 1903, heading the poll, and having as bis colleague Henry Jones. He sat during the life of that legislature.

Coming to Vic toria connection with his- parlia mentary sdutles, he became well known to people here, and had continued recently to be a periodical visitor to Victoria. Mr. Murphy was a lifelong Lfteral. VETERAN FIREMAN. Lawrence.

The expression 'Jowner" Includes every person on whose premises a dog is harboured. L. K. UOWER, (No, 1J77) Collector. Article (By Frank The completion of the four wooden i vessels now under construction at a local shlp-bullding plant for the Victoria Shipowners' Company, and their operation under the Judicious management in the trade for which they were particularly designed, should demonstrate that a penny can still be made in the business of freighting with wooden carriers.

They should not lack cargoes, for there is an ever-growing demand for ship-loads of a readily available commodity. The world requires the products of tne Vancouver lsianu forests, in the form of lumber, pulp and paper. These products can De hauled lust as conveniently by wind- driven craft as. by steam-propelled vessels: for such freights are not perishable, and the question of a few days more or less in transit is not going to be considered when 'the cos( of operation is so greatly in favor of the ship under sail. Out-bound cargoes should be as sured, but to make the venture of ship-owning more profitable the matter of return cargoes Is a big consideration.

In a previous article, I indicated where, a vessel in the lumber carrying trade could invariably get a coal cargo for at least a portion of the return voyage; but while a limited number of vessels could be operated profitably for an Indefinite time under those condl Hons, the great factor in the con tinued expansion of ship-owning and operation will be the matter of home-bound freights. It would be a mighty fine thing for the carrying company, and for the people of Van couver Island as well, if ship-loads of raw material could be brought here and manufactured locally. If there is to be a prosperous and ever-grow Ing merchant marine hailing from Vancouver Island portst and the people are to take advantage of its strategic position and unrivalled nar- bor facilities, it is vitally necessary to thoroughly investigate every possl bility of commerical development. Seattle worked uta very consider able business in connection with the soya bean, but because of the extor tionate charges levied puon shipping by the port authorities there, this has lately been diverted to San Francisco, where is It considered a very worthy adjunct to the already extensive group of raw materials entering that port for manufacture. There Is no reason to assume that some port on Vancouver Island, having the proper railway facilities, should not develop a whole lot of industry in connection with the handling of the soya bean, There is thousands of horsepower roaring to waste every day on Vancouver Island.

It Is the cheapest fuel known, this "white coal," as it is sometimes called, and harnessed directly to a plant has a great economic advantage over all other sources from power is de veloped. The establishment of woolen mills on Vancouver Island should be seriously considered. A ship re turning fromuSouth Africa or Australia could bring a cargo of wool direct, and its manufacture into cloth with cheap power shpuld be profitable. I do not mean the finer grades of cloth, although the question of the production of such lines might be well worth looking into; but there is a big market for the coarser grades in all the western provinces, Alaska, the western and Pacific states, as well as in China and Japan. The padded silks and fine cloths of these latter countries are already being supplemented to a small extent by the more serviceable and heavy woolens.

Before the war a largo portion of the Australian wool crop went to the New England states; and to Boston the Canadian maunfacturer had to go In order to fill his requirements. During the war the entire Australian Wool crop was held by the government, and because of hostilities ending so suddenly there was a large supply ieft over, and- Australia now is a great store-house of raw wool, with no demand for it in the near future. If there were woolen mills operating here as well as ships to do the carrying, the problem of exchange could be solved, to some extent at least, by trading Vancouver Island lumber for Australian wool. Rubber is another commodity which might be brought here from Africa in a raw state and manufactured. Raw cotton Is also a possibility, and could be obtained in cargo lots If some enterprising manufacturer of cotton goods could be prevailed upon to locate here.

Then there are opportunities of doing things 'of considerable worth with raw bides. Why Bronchial Catarrh Is So Dangerous When Unchecked, Bronchial Catarrh Develops Rapidly; Attacks the Lungs; Ends in Consumption. If you have fullness of the head, headache, difficulty in hearing, stuffed nostrils, droppings from the throat and hacking cough, you ought to know' you have Catarrh. It begins as a cold; repeated colds inflame the air passages. By-and-bye it extends deeper, far down into the lungs, then you have bronchitis.

These inflamed surfaces secrete germ-laden mucus. If swallowed It pollutes the whole system and destroys health. Stomach dosing always falls, so do washes, snuffs, ointments. The remedy that will cure quickest is Catarrhozone. You do not take Catarrh-ozone internally, you simply breathe a fragrant healing compound that destroys germs instantly.

When you Ifihale Catarrhossone into the lungs, little drops of healing are carried to the remotest parts of the breathing apparatus. Wherever Catarrhozone goes it destroys the germs, allowing the healing to go right on until the tissues are made whole. Then congestion ceases, the formation of mucus ceases, hawking and spitting cease, and of course, dropping into the throat cease also. You get well. You see Catarrhozone removes the cause of the disease.

Don't you think this is the right way to cure Catarrh? Can you think of any other way half so good? Complete outfit, hard rubber inhaler with sufficient liquid to last three months. Price $1.00. Smaller slste 60c. All dealers, or The Catarrhozone Buffalo, N. and Kingston, Ont.

Three minutes with potter's clay, Cargoes of hides, as well as the bark for tanning them, would make profitably freights: and the establish ment of factories for the turning out of leather goods of all descriptions would be of great benefit to the commercial growth of Vancouver Island. To make the shipping efforts of our people successful, to make the island! grow commercially -every effort should be made to bring the raw material here for manufacture. This is Just as important to our growth as the continued export of materials produced on the Island from our own resources; and as the 'island of Vancouver is Immediate to the ocean and its future linked to it for all time, whether it will be the future that can and should be achieved, depends wholly upon the initiative of every ndivldual.

Another child, Arthur, is in hospital and Mrs.

Burns is surrerlng severely rrom shock. The fire started after midnight and is supposed to have been caused by Bums throwing a lighted match among some paint cans stored under the stairway. To save little Arthur's life, Burns threw the child through an upstairs window to the ground. Before this he had carried his wife to safety and had come back to try to save the other children, but overcome by the heat and smoke, be perished with the two of them. Mrs.

Burns is reported at noon to be in a serious condition. Arthur, the seven-year-old boy who was thrown through a second story window, is seriously burned about the body. CAT RESCUED IN SAN FRANCISCO FIRE San Francisco, Jan. 29.

A BLOOD-FOOD NOW MANUFACTURED THAT ACCOMPLISHES MARVELS Lots of people that were thin and miserable for years have recently been restored by this simple treatment. All you have to do is take two little chocolate-coated tablets with a sip of water at the close of each meal.

The' tablets which, by the way, are called "Ferrozone," are in reality a perfect food for the blood. They contain exactly those elements your blood lacks when it becomes thin, weak, and unhealthy. This is just the time to use Ferrozone; it excites splendid appetite, gives digestion splendid aid, supplies nourishment for all weak organs. At once you feel buoyant and strong. Nutritious blood courses through your veins, supplies strength, makes you tingle with animation and ambition.

No more headaches, None of that tired languor. You feel like doing things because Ferrozone completely renews, and strengthens your whole system, i No medicine on earth gives such quick, lasting benefits as Ferrozone. It has raised thousands from downright weakness, brings robust health simply because it contains the fortifying elements that run-down systems require. One week after using Ferrozone you'll feel like new, you'll appreciate what real robust health means. In a month you'll scarcely credit the push your vigor and spirits have received.

Ferrdzone is more than a tonic because its work lasts, its benefits remain anfl are not temporary. It restores health where other treatments fail, and should be used by every man, woman and child. Try it, 60c, per box or six boxes for $2.50. Sold by all dealers or by mall from The Catarrhozone Kingston Ontario. Just as comfortable as the children get In most country schools and have as little to complain of.

The condition is capable of improvement ana win no doubt receive attention. The community here affected Is as truly suburban to Victoria as other residential areas like Oak Bay and Esquimau; yet, by some stupendous blunder it has been decreed that distant farm ing communities shall contribute a large proportion of present and anticipated expense. Contributions by wards for schooPcosts in Saanich are equal, while requirements vary from about five thousand to about thirty thousand dollurs. So much for superb statesmanship in Saanich. It Is argued that road pavement helps the farmers, while being paia for by those not using it.

Farmers are drlvlhs their horses in the ditch to avoid that slip-surfaced paving every day, and do not grudge its use by the motoring public Irom anywhere. Trunk roadways are not locul institutions. Schools are exactly that. nnd by no construction can it be shown that the farming people re siding in Wards 4, 5 and 6 should bo compelled to support schools other than their own. It is no doubt an unfortunate con dition that so important a matter education in the district of Saanljtt should be endangered through lack of foresight in framinr legal machin ery, but there is no doubt everything can be set right arter a carerui examination.

Meanwhile, there is no considerable suffering from any cause. Improvements to grounds and sanitation years overdue sre receiving attention, and the 1921 School board will not fail in their duty from lack of effort. The people of the wonderful and beautiful city of Victoria are welcome to all the Joy theycan get oat of peeking into the municipal affairs of their neighbors, but they should remember that the best of reporters i'ltnetimes get hold of misinformations, sometimes color or exaggesate and sometimes delight In a quarrel. Victoria rests on the Saanich Peninsula, but has an unrest all its own which is significant enough. Ours is a passing thing.

Here's hoping for a mutual forgetting- and Kenuine advancement In the near future. PHILIP HOLLOWAT, Trustee. East Road, Jan. 28. DEAR! DEARl DEAR ME.

To the Editor, The whole discussion oiT-the question of Proportional Representation, to me, has been very amusing. It seems to me that there isn't anybody who has really got a grasp of what P. R. Is. It was reported that Mr.

Marchant, the father of the supposed system of Proportional Representation, spoiled his ballot, and so there is an excuse if others do not understand. Let me say that the municipal election was not fought oh the P. R. plan, but on the Hare-Spencer 'system of personal prefer ence voting. A system which may be called by some P.

but has nothing whatever to do with Proportional Representation. In to-night's Times there is a letter from Mr. Marchant giving the Editor stripes because he does not fully understand. Well. Mr Editor, I am afraid you will have a lob understanding P.

if all argu ineits are based upon the Hare-Spencer system. It seems to me that all of you. Including Mr, Marchant, have been barking up the wrong tree, Mr. Editor, there Is an excuse for you, although an editor is supposed to be a walking encyclopedia. I can sympathize with you, and this Is one of my reasons.

Mr. Marchant in his letter eays: "In the primaries before the Presidential election in the United States, sometimes twenty or more ballots are taken before a candidate receives a majority or quota, and will take many days before the election or selection is made. R. accomplishes in a mathematical, scientifically accurate method in one election what the great political parties in the United States accomplish in several days of weari some balloting, MARCHANT." If I understand the meaning of the primaries aright it i that a number of delegates from all the states hold a conference to nominate a President, and if that is so, then the choosing of a President is by personal choice and not proportional representation. Personal preference of itself is P.

R. The Hare-Spencer system of voting, the system that we voted on at. the municipal, election, is a sys tern of personal preference single transferable Real Proportional Representation is a system under which every political party or group must gain a seat or seats in proportion to the number of votes recorded by that party or group. I have promised to speak for the O. A.

U. V. on real Proportional Representation on February 8 and hope to TOM DOOLEY. MRS. MOODY TO SPEAK Prominent Vancouver Educationalist to Address Women's Canadian Club.

To the Editor, A mistake relative to the increase in -the number of pupils attending the Saanich schools. together with reports of classes held. in basements, passage ways una con demned buildings gives the impres sion that niatters-of school accommo dation In this district are in a very bad way. The Increase in attendance during .4020 was from 1,643 to 1,602. During 1920 a one-room addition was made at McKenzie Avenue School vacant rooms were opened, one at Cedar Hill School, one at Craigf lower School, one at Prospect Lake School and one at Cloverdale School, the latter being a second installation in an almost ground-level basement, by which no complaint has been made.

The pressure at this school can be relieved either by placing a class in the manual training building- or by opening a vacant room or two at North Dairy School, a mile distant. The class in a "passageway," so-called. Is situated at one entrance out of three at the Tllllcum School. There are a wide hall and two partly closed small rooms, one on either side intended some day to lonverted into stairways into the basement. All this vacant space, with plenty of light, has been given a temporary partition and is now a class that formerly occupied a store room entirely un-suited for the purpose.

The pressure at this (Tillicum) school can be relieved by the parents sending some pupils to the Craigflower School, About one mile distant. The classes in the Old Tolmie School said to be condemned are Cured His Piles Now 88 Years Old But Works At Trade of Blacksmith and Feels Younger Since rues uone The oldest active blacksmith In Michigan is pi ill pounding his anvil in the town of Homer thanks to my internal method for treating piles. vtft MR.
