COLUMBIA HOTEL BEING MODERNIZED
Comfort and Cleanliness Makes it Attractive
An extensive remodelling, renovating and modernizing contract has just been completed at the Columbia Hotel, Columbia and Cordova streets, which puts this establishement well up among the list of substantially appointed and equipped hotels in the city.
Reconstruction and decoration throughout has been done along conservative lines, appointing and decoration creating an atmosphere of comfort and cleanliness. In outside appearance the hotel, which has been completely cleaned from top to bottom, presents a pleasant bick facade relieved by metal-trimmed plate glass windows.
The new doors add a note of distinction. Inside the premises white plaster prevails, pointed simply with a slight blue trim and attractive lighting fixtures with a note of color.
The floor is treated in a neat, sanitary red and blue marbleized tile effect. Bright, new comfortable chairs have been been installed. A completely new service bar has been installed. Retiring rooms have been equipped with the most modern plumbing and furniture.
Because the large May Day parade had disrputed street car service, Aid. John Bennett offered his excuse for being 35 minutes late to council meeting. Mayor Telford disclaimed any responsibility but did agree that it was "a real, good parade."

Twelve Loggers Killed In Six Weeks' Operation In B.C. Woods
Average Toll Is Two Every Week
15 East Hastings 'St   -   Sey. 8664
Death toll from logging accidents in 1939 reached twleve this week as five more deaths were recorded during a two-week period, officials of the International Woodworkers of America announced.
It is estimated the average toll has been two loggers a week, based on the fact that camps went into full operation only six weeks ago.
Latest fatality occurred at Boyles and Groves Camp at Port Neville, where Nels Peterson, aged 54, was killed when struck by a sapling.
Other victims within the two-week period were Peter Arens, employed at Stoltz Logging Company, Squamish; Poy Ching, killed at Summit Log, Malahat; Tatio Tatewe, killed at the Kapoor Camp at Shawnigan Lake; and Edward Ed-wardson, killed at the Long Beach Log Camp on Texada Island.
Seven others had been killed over an earlier four-week period. Accidents during the same period have reached several hundreds.
Last year a new record for fatalities in logging camps' was reached with 63 deaths, showing a steady increase over the average over the 1934-38 period. While deaths this year are slightly below the same period of last season, the five fatal accidents within a two-week period indicate that with logging operations now at full swing, lack of safety regulations and the speedup system seem likely to result in a new record for the 1939 season.

GILLNET DEVICE BEING PERFECTED
To Be On Market This Season
By the use of power-driven net drums or reels, a 200-fathom gillnet can be set in the water in about three minutes as compared with the ten minutes required when setting is done by hand; the net can be reeled back into the boat in fourteen or fifteen minutes—a saving of approximately ten minutes.
According to a report made to his department by R. W. MacLeod, district supervisor of fisheries, only four net reels were in use in his district in 1937, but last year the number jumped to 247.
Latest reports tell of another labor saving device for gillnet boats that will surpass the net drums. This device is being developed by John Swann, manufacturer of trolling gurdies, who expects to have it perfected before fishing gets under way.
