MILLER HIGGS GIVES ADDRESS W. Miller Higgs last evening read an address on the possibilities of the pelt and stock market in Denmark. This will shortly be taken up by the association as an outlet for prize winning registered silver foxes. Mr. Higgs's address in part "Anybody who followed the readis development of the fox industry is certain to have the keen interest taken in this industry in various European countries.

"While Norway is taking the lead in adopting and following the Canadian methods of registration. Switzerland is undoubtedly the more interesting country to notice. as there the Government is supporting and encouraging the industry with a view to making fox farming a branch of general farmcontinued. "Though there is, and for years to come will be. a practically unlimited market in Europe for Canadian national registered foxes, this market is beyond the reach of the average 10x farmer here in British Columbia.

So far, big concerns in and mainly in Prince Edward Island have almost had a monopoly on the sale of breeding stock to Europe, their closer proximity being in their favor.

OPERATOR OUTLINES PLANS FOR WORSTED VILL VICTORIA John Moore of Bradford Sees Every Prospect For Success Here Investigations which he had made into the prospective markets for the products of a worsted mill in Victoria and other phases of the business had led him to believe a mill could be operated successfully and he was prepared to invest considerable of his own money, John Moore of Bradford, England told members of the Chamber of Commerce at a meeting called by the industrial group to-day.

Mr. Moore stated he came out last year to study the prospects in British Columbia. He came out imbued with the idea that a woolen mill was the thing to build but he found in Canada the woolen mills were having what in England would be called a very "sticky" time. He had since made up his mind that the woolen side of the industry was 3 thing to let alone. A GOOD DEMAND But while there was no demand for woolen yarns, there was a very good demand for worsted yarns.

That beIng so it seemed only right the worsted proposition deserved his attention. He went back home with this new information. While there he mentioned he saw Hon. F. A.

Pauline, Agent-General for British Columbia. "I don't think you could desire a better or more ardent. advocate of this wonderful country," he said in passing. Since his return, he said, he had sent samples products made in Eingland, to Vancouver, which was a prospective market if he decided to transfer his plant to Victoria. With the exception of one firm, from whom he had not heard, were pleased with the products.

Orders from Mainland firms for yarns which he had been able to se cure amounted to 212,000 pounds of yarn. Other orders could be seucred as far back as Winnipeg assuring him there would enough demand for his product to ensure the success of the worsted mill he proposed to establish here. He had thoroughly investigated the prospect and was convinced of the success of a worsted mill in Victoria. Mr. Moore assured the meeting he did not come to them as a company promoter.

If Victoria wanted a woolen mill was prepared give the city the 'benefit of his experience, to help in the management and invest considerable of his own money it. Percy Fox spoke from his experience as an architect of several plants in Yorkshire. A spinning mill he thought was advisable for Victoria. The question of success of the depended on capable management, supply of material and orders for the product. The orders he thought would come.

Orders as Mr. Moore had mentioned pointed to success if the textile industry were established he said in suggesting an investigation into the prospects for orders for the product of a mill in Victoria. Resuming. Mr. Moore said he was sure, he Victoria could as he spin did yarn in just England.

as well In fact. Victoria possessed unique advantages in its climate, surroundings and water. He pointed to prospective export markets. It be asked why he, having a good business at home, thought of transferring his business to Victoria. Machinery manufacturing firms had been equipping plants in China, Japan and India and English mills found now their export trade dwindling.

Those mills now found their plants too big handle the business that was left to them and with orders restricted competition had become SO keenth at the profits were not made out of the manufacture of worsted but out of keen buying. Canada, he pointed out, was the greatest buyer of worsted goods from the old country with Western Canada using the greatest amount.

TO' INTEREST RESIDENTS where Judge Begble used to try delinquent miners of the Cariboo gold rush, will be permanently preserved, under plans which are being fostered by the British Columbia Historical Association. At a meeting of the executive of this organization here last night it was announced that unless steps were taken immediately to preserve this unique relic of the great gold stampede, it would be demolished.

Stirred by the possibility that one of the most important historieal landmarks of the Province would thus be lost, the Assoclasion will attempt to make a museum of it.

This was the original gold town of the rush, but was later abandoned in favor of Barkerville.

In the building, entirely unprotected, almost priceless value historically old court records and other papers that tell romantic story of the gold days, the Historical Association was informed.
