Oct. 8.�The first game in Uu world's series fell to the Athletics today with a score of 3-1. The wise ones were all fooled by the strategy of Connie Mack, of the Athletics and joe McCarthy of the Cubs. Mack el-ncicd to send Howard Ehmke in to stop the long-distance hitters of the Chicago team, and he did it most effectively, getting thirteen men at the plate and holding them scoreless until the last half of the final inning, when Chicago squeezed a run across the pan was fanned by Ehmks, and the first game of the series was safe in the Athletics1 sack. Second Game Chicago, Oct. P.�Philadelphia stepped into a two-game lead in the world series this afternoon by taking the second encounter from the Chicago Cubs with a decisive score of 9-3.

A two-day search through the high mountains in the Western Tonquin, covered with the first heavy snow fall of the year, was necessary before the desired passage to the west was found. The party passed over two high unnamed passes, and through miles of absolutely virgin forest before reaching the Canadian National line at Lucerne. An Indian meat track, many years old, was the only sign of previous human contact with this region.

Miss Gordon has sung contralto role' with Chaliapin and Jeritza and co-stars, and cjitics have been unanimous in praising her voice and art. "In providing a series of weekly programmes by the Toronto Symphonv Orchestra and assisting Canadian artists, we have several objects in view, vice-president W. D. Robb said. "The first thought is to bring the world'5 finest music Into the homes of those who ordinarily would not have the opportunity to hear it. Another obiecx is to develop/and encourage Canadian talent, and^to make better known to Canadians some of the gifted sons ana daughters of the Dominion." Council Fixes The Procedure on Placing of Lighting Standards on the Cit^Streets Conditions/at the city power station will be re-viewed at the next meeting of the/city council as the result ol .Alderman Weiland's action in calling for the log-book of the station. Alder--�fnan Wieland intimated the city power plant will require to be very carefully nursed in order to get it over the peak period of the approaching winter season. The business of the city power plant is growing faster than most persons realize. He informed the council that already during the present season the peak-load at the station had reached 163 kilowatts, arid the peak-load on the machines during the past winter was 164 kilowatts. While there Is some margin between the capacity of the machines and the peak-load of last winter it is not very great, and in view of the growth of the electrical business Alderman Wieland is convinced he matter should be given immediate attention. Alderman Moffat, chairman of the finance committee, submitted a report on the municipal tax sale which was held on September 30th. He said there were 67 parcels upon which there were delinquent taxes requiring them to be put up for sale, but of this number the provincial government was interested in 10, and this number had been withdrawn from sale. Of^the 57 parcels offered or sale the"* delinquent taxes amounted to $7,722,43. Five o the parcels offered were sold, yielding the city $889.70. of which sum $202.68 represented 1929 taxes, and the remainder delinquent taxes, penalties and charges. The finance committee recommended the payment of accounts totalling $7,607.35. In this total was included the municipal payroll of $1,939.84. schools payroll of $2,207.50. and police payroll of $1,187.50. Alderman Griffith submitted a report from the public works committee dealing with the placing of lighting standards on the city streets. The recommendation contemplated a walk on Third avenue having a total width of 91s feet to the curb and it recommended the placing of the lighting standards eight feet from the prop-prty line, thus securing a clear eight feet for pedestrians. The recommendations of the committee were adopted. The council approved the sale of reverted lots 15, 17 and 18. in block 10 to M. C. Wiggins at $26.30 each, and the 5^1^, of lots'4 and 5, in block 209, for $97.65. An opinion was read from P. E. Wilson. K. C. city solicitor, to the effect that the cancellation of the city bonds orior to their maturity, is an illegal oractise. In this connection Mayor Patterson said the council probably owed an apology to the city solicitor for taking action in the matter prior to receiving his opinion, but the explanation for this was in the statement that the members of the council were virtually unanimous as to the procedure to be followed. --------------n--------------- LTNDBERG SEES RUINS OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATION IN HONDURAS JUNGLE Manual Training and Home Economics May be Added School Trustees Favorably Inclined to Provide Instruction In Two Classes Addition of Two Rooms to Connaught School Would Meet The Requirements for the Present The Prince George board of school trustees are giving their attention to the introduction of the teaching of home economics and manual training in the local schools as the result of their, meeting with Miss J. L. McLenaglen, director of home economics in the provincial department of education. Miss McLenaglen addressed the members of the board of school trustees on Thursday evening and the members of the local executive of the Women's Institute. This move has the active support of the Women's Institute, and the establishment of the courses in the local schools had been a matter of correspondence with Miss McLenaglen prior to her visit. In her address Miss Lenaglen said there are already seventy-five home economic teachers in the schools throughout the province. In some of the centers one teacher serves more than one school, where the schools ire close enough to be so accommodated. With the creation of the classes in home economics it was the practice to establish also manual training classes for the boys. The provincial government provides fifty per cent of the cost for equipping the home economics and manual training classes, with a maximum of $500 in each case. Miss McLenaglen explained that in the- event of the classes being formed it would result in the displacement of a second language or class in physics in the high school course. In the event of deciding upon the incorporation of these two new classes Prince George is rather fortunate in that it aready has one teacher qualified to instruct in manual training as well as teach grade subjects, so that with regard to the teachine staff it would not be necessary to fill a corresponding position with respect to the teaching of home economics. The fact that the universities dictate the ordinary high school course to meet the requirements of university matriculation, and that in a small place like Prince George, such a small percentage of the high school pupils go on to the universities, that it makes the establishment of the home economics and manual training classes especially attractive to the board of school trustees. The matter which will engage the immediate attention of the school trustees is the providing of the accommodation for the new classes. With the increase in the school attendance some thought has been given to the adding of two rooms to the Connaught school so that it could accommodate pupils up to grade V. This would give an additional room in the King George school, and the other room might be found in the high school.

MONTREAL NOW FACED WITH TRADE "RACKETS" THAT MADE CHICAGO INFAMOUS Montreal, Oct. 9.�In the recent outlawry which has characterized the milk trade of the city, police officials see the growth of the 'racket* development which has contributed most to the outlawry in Chicago in New York through the levying of tribute upon legitimate-business. Premier Taschereau granted interview today in which he urged the advisability of the milk producers and distributors reaching a compromise on their differences to prevent the growth of the "racket" organization.

Oct. 9.�The. railway lines of the Atlantic-Quebec and Western, and the Quebec Oriental, from Mata-pedia to Gaspe. have been added to the Atlantic region of the Canadian National Railways, effective October 1st. The Quebec Oriental, portion oi these lines extends to New Carlisle. 98 miles from Matapedla,'and the Atlantic Quebec and Western extends from New Carlisle to Gaspe, a distance oi 104 miles. Both railways were formerly owned! by British interests, and negotiations for their purchase were instituted by Sir Henry Thornton, on his visit to Great Britain last year. This line of railway serves a virgin hunting and fishing territory and large commercial fisheries and lumber in--dustries. which the horses appeared to know just as well as their riders what was required of them as once an animr.l was located the horse would stav with it until it had been cut away from the rest of the herd.
