hence it has often been bleached to
remove its natural yellow tint. In
Bulletin No. 40, ‘The Use of Coarse
Grains fer Human Food,” which may
be had free upon application to the
Publication Branch, Department of
Agriculture, Ottawa, it is shown thai
with the advance of civilization and
the improving of machinery there
has been a tendency to discard the
coarse and relatively indigestible
substances in our food, with the re-
sult that we have reached a
where most people consume too
large a. proportion of refined ma-
terial and too little of the necessary
coarse and relatively indigestible
substances. Lately, however, people
have become alarmed and action has
begun against what may be fairly
called “over purification of foods.”
The object of the new bulletin is two-
fold; first, to show to farmers gener-
ally how they can bocome more near-
lv self-sufficient as far as food sup-
ply for themselves and their family
is) coneerned, and

In reference to what appears to be
an excessive charge for the rental of
silverware, it was stated that ar-
rangements had been made for the
accommodation of 150 guests, and
that only about half that number
werg able to attend the banquet, ow-
ing to the inclemency of the weather.
If the number of guests provided for
had arrived the—affair would have
been more of a financial success.

Mr. Daweg delivered a report on
his qattendance at the meeting of the
Rotary Club irrigation committee,
which was held at Victoria Septem-
ber 22 for the purpose of consider-
ing ways and means of establishing
an irrigation system for the Saanich
Peninsula. The proceedings of the
meeting were reported in a previous
issue of the Review, and Mr. Dawes
stated further that at the meeting it
had been stated that the capacity of
the Sooke Lake -water system was
21,000,000 gallons per! day, while the
demands on the system were but
9,000,000 gallons per day.

A communication from the Vic-
toria Times to the effect that a spe-
cial industrial edition of that paper,
In which the various districts of Van-
couver Island will be featured, will
be published within d®short time and
requesting that Sidney, views: and
data relating to the town be furn-
ished for thea purpose of publication,
was considered by the Board, and the
matter of furnishing the data re-
quested was taken under advisement.
The letter stated that the entire edl-
tion will deal only with the Island
and its industries.

Financial Statement of Rotary Club Banquet Pre-
sented; Railway Matters Again Discussed
by the Members

M.P.P., relative to the disposal by
Mr. J. P. Roberts, receiver of the
Victoria and Sidney Railway Com-
pany, of the rails and other material
going to make up the line of the de-
funct transportation concern was as
follows:
Oct. 4, 1919.
Hon. John Oliver, Premier.
Parliament Buildings,
Victoria, B. C.

(Re C.N.R. and Sidney.)
Dear Mr. Oliver: —

Following our telephone conversa-
tion of a few minutes ago, I now en-
close a copy of the letter written by
Mr. J. P. Roberts, Receiver of the
railway to the Secretary of he Sid-
ney Board of Trade.

If the fact is as Mr. Roberts in-
dicated, that the Canadian National
Railway is offering merely one-quar-
ter of the junk value of this piece of
line, then it would seem to me that
the Canadian Government is but
trifling with the situation and in
effect making fools of those of us
who are so deeply concerned with
the interests of the Sidney district.
I would be so much obliged if. you
could, as suggested, forward a vigor-
ous presentation of our point of view
to the C. N. R. and the Government
at Ottawa.

We are entitled to assume that the
National Railway Department was
proposing serious business and no
tomfoolery and I suggest that, if. they
are ‘not: prepared foe :

bes tedeto
the arbitration of ay independent in-
dividual or body that they may. be
disposed to nominate. .

I am quite sure that Mr. Roberts ts
anxious to assist us and is not for a
moment attempting to exact more
than the veriest minimum price for
the road. .

Thanking you in anticipation, I am

Yours faithfully,
(Signed) M. B. Jackgon.
