REMOVAL OF TREES FROM 1 A…
REMOVAL OF TREES FROM 1 A PLANTATION PROSECUTIONS AT CARNARVON POLICE I COURT. At Carnarvon Police Court on Saturday, be- fore Mr Iasard Davies and other magistrates, William Owen, Caeau Uohaf-road, Ebenezer, waa barged with stealing a larch tree valued at 1s, the property of the trustees of Vaynol Estate. The defendant pleaded guilty, but said the tree bad been blown down by the wind. Tom Moore, Ebenezer, a gamekeepe*, pro duoed & number of photographs of a oopee which had been denudied of trees. In answer to N the Bench, he said that a timber dealer had given ion to cottagers to take away branches from the oopee. The Chairman: It is a temptation to these men to take something more than branches. A fine of 10s was imposed. Four b' a--David Owen Morris (14), William Williams (14), William Owen (14), and John Mor- ris Williams (12), all of Ebenezer-admitted tak. ing large trees, belonging to Vaynol Eetate, from the Jubilee Mountain. A polioe-.eonstable said the trees were from 15 t. 13 feet long. It waa said the boys, with ot h ers, were given permission to take away others, wem ?h,!tiznbe!r contca*or. branches by the timber contractor. The Ch?rman: I do not think the contractw is blamelem -If they ?e a pnvele? of this kind they muA expect it to be abused Superintendent Williams: Yes. the privilege haa been abased in an extensive way, too. The pa.rents of the boys should exercise control over them. The Chairman: It is evident that the villages* go there and do what they like with the treee. rmen in years & ik what can vou expect from children? I cannot exonerate the E-tntf- from blame. The parents were bound over for the good be- haviour of the boys.

ALIEN TRADERS ATI LLANDUDNO.
ALIEN TRADERS AT I LLANDUDNO. BRITISH BUSINESS PEOPLE TAKING ACTION. LOCAL AUTHORITY POWERLESS: A MATTER FOR THE RESIDENTS. (From tho Noi-th Walcz Pioneer.). I Whether it be a mere coincidence (writes our Llandudno lepre&entative) or the direct result of the disclosures made in the J'ionetr last week, it is a fac1; that since tho publication of the article one alien tradesman has already adver- tised his impending departure from Llandudno. In announcing his departure he says Are giving up buninese, and to save trouble of pack- ing -rad coit of transfer to —— will hold a three days' saJ.e." v- Next, please! • At the moment, opinion appears to be running strongly in tlie town in favour (JtÍ more vigorous <ileali-iigs with the alien enemy trader whether naturalised or not. On this point it may be interesting to quote the words of Mr J. R. Piikcman, Chi&f Commoner, and Chairman of the City of London Appeal Tribunal, bpeakuiy on Thursday, lie said.— Our indulgent treatment of enemy alien traders, among- whom I include those who assumed British nationality for purposes of trade, is storing up trouble for us in the future. We have allowed these .men. whose interests are bound up in the continuance of German trade, to remain uninteruod and to continue trading. They are piling up a 'troodwili' which wjll be invaluable to them alter the war. If we cannot shaJ?e th'm now how are we ?oing to disestab- lisli them after paaco is declared V "Commercially and socially these men are prima facie enemies of Great Britain. Poome of them may be less actively dangerows than jhe naturalised, whom I dfctrust as a body exceed- ingly; but naturalised or not, they are all of enemy origin, and I do not know one who is not a Gorman or an Austrian at heart, ready always to place the interests of Germany and Auwtiia first." BETRAYING THEIR ORIGIN. Asked if he would care to give an expression of his views on the subject, Mr R. S. Ohamber- loin, J.P., chairman of the Llandudno Urban District Council, replied: "What can I &a..v or do? I can do nothing. Tha intornment of aliens is a matter for the Heme Oiiioe. If I had my way I would stop any alien from setting up business in war time. But as chairman of the Council I have no power in the matter at all. if PeW-e will support the aiieni and the Home Offioo cllow them to trade, we are powerless." That people do support these alien traders cannot b3 q uestionecl. As I pointed out last week, the number of stylishly dressed women who aro seen frequently visiting the establish- ments of these foreigners affords sufficient ovi doooe of what I say. One of these ladies, when asked the other day why she patronised an alien enemy to the dl6trime.nt of her own country- men, replied: "Oh, I r?ai'y never ave tho matter a thought they were aliens." ?.t not a si/nglo 000 of those alien shopkeepere can pro- perly pronc-urnee a word of English without be- traying his origin. I BRITISH TRADESMEN TO TAKE ACTION. One of the leading British tailors of the town, im congratulat-ing the Pioneer upon the fotep taken last week, said: "Now that the Pioneer has opened the ball it is for us Britishers to move in th matter and strike the iron while it is not. oinoo reading last week's Pioneer I have sent a circular .ecter to all the British tailors in the district suggtftin,-? that we should all meet together to consider what stepa should bo taken in the matter, and, if found necessary, I would suggest that a public meeting of the towns- peop.o be convened." I am iniformed by tradesmen that the revela- tions madlo in last week's Pioneer came as a tremendous surprise to the public. A number cf them have expressed their amazement that such a state of affairs should be tolerated in a patriotio town like Llandudno. It is a surprisi ng fc-x., tliat not only are these aliens allowed to continue trading in our midst, but are afforded the same privileges and pro- tection as any trlio born British citizen. The doors of the various institutions of the town, from the ranks of Volunteer Regiment who girard our defences to a membership of the Guar- dia-ii Society formed for the protection of our trade, are thrown open to them. In the list of members of th", society for the protection of our trade wo find both naturalised and unnatural- ized aliens. WHY THEY WERE RELEASED. CHIEF CONSTABLE EXPLAINS. The Citief Constable of Carnarvonshire in. formed me ono day this week that all the un. interned aliens now trading at Llandudno wore Czeoas or Bohemians, and were vouched for by a Czech Society jn London. It was upon this thu they worc- repeated from the internment camp by an order of the Home Office made upon the remmmlrdatian of an Advisory Committee. At the time they were intarned," added the Chief Ooretable, "there was some doubt as to whether Czechs should ba interned. I have stopped alj alien tailori from coming to work for them at Llandudno." Ho further stated that if any of these men did out of place immediate action would bo taken, but the police authorities could mot interfere in trado competition. A QUESTION FOR THE RESIDENTS TO SETTLE. (To the Editor.) Sir,-Ae I am only a stranger in Llandudno, I feel in reference to your enquiry as to tho alien traders here it is a question that the resi- dents uhould settle. I do not know the alien tradro-s and would not think of employing them. —Yours, etc.. I;atillliog, Abbey-road, I;atillliog, Abbey-road, -,D. NEA VE. I Llandudno, Feb. 20th.

LOCAL HISTORY.1
LOCAL HISTORY. 1 r CORRIGENDA. I (From the North Walcz Pioneer.). I In my note on The Rural Deanery of Rhos" in the Pioneer of last week, instead of "rectangle llw to Nantglyn" read "rough line, etc." Also, instead of In 1832 a re-arrangement took place" read In 1882, etc. THE HISTORY OF BOUNDARIES. I There is hardly a more important fact in the life of the community than the boundaries of the innumerable portions into which the land is divided. On the larger scale, disputes as to boundaries have been as fruitful as anything in causing ware between nations, and on the smaller scale, such di&putes have also been the cause of lawsuits without number between individuals. But how did the boundaries take the fantastic dire-dlions which they now take? No. one now can answer. There is no one now who can say why almost every field on a farm has a fantastic shape, but so it has, and so has the farm itself, and so have all the farms of the parish, and so has the parish itself, and all the parishes of the country. It is not so in new countries. ?u'? is planning beforehand evident in the r h r straight lino boundaries of a new country, man leading circumstances. But in an old country it is plain that circumstances have been leading man, with factors that had no regard for regu- larity, in deoiding the boundaries of its land divisions. The boundaries in an old country like ours have grown, and so are as irregular as the beautiful irregular shapes of the branches of an old oak tree. And we might as well now try to trace the history of the causes at work giving the shapes of the branches in the old oak tree as try to trace such causes in the history of the boundaries of our land divisions. Such causes we know have been at work, but we can- not get them to the light of history in de- tail. I RHOS AND RHUFONIOG. I A friend the other day asked me why was the old Rural Deanery here made up of Rhos a.nd Rhufoniog. Why not Rhos only, and let the name Rhos cover the whole deanery from the Conway to the Clwyd? I can only answer that that would be dis- regarding the name of one of the two old Can- trefs which made up the deanery. Gwynedd- is-Conwy, or the country between the river Con- way and the estuary of the Dee, known also in old documents as "Perfeddwlad," was divided in the Middle Ages into four Cantrefs, namely, Tegeingl (practically modern Flintshire), Dyffryn Clwyd (only a. portion of the Vale of Clwyd, and that around Rhuifchyn), Rhos (the western portion of the modern county of Denbigh, bounded by river Conway from Capel Garmon to the sea, by the sea from Llandudno to Voryd, and by the upper portions of the Clwyd and all the Elwy), and Rhufoniog (the eastern portion of the modern county of Denbigh, from the Elwy as far as the Clwyd, excluding the above- mentioned Caiiitref Dyffryn Clwyd). As the portion of the country fixed as one Rural Deanery coincided with the two Cantrefs of Rhos a.nd Rufoniiog it was only natural that it should bear the names ot the two. inat is why it was called "The Rural Deanery of Rhos ana Rhufoniog. Why, in this instanoe, each cantref was not also a rural deanery, as was generally the case all over Wales, I cannot say. I think the reason must have been that Rhufoniog was very thinly populated, as it contained the barren tracts of Hinaethog. To extricate the history of eccles- iastical divisions from the civil divisions of old Wales, and really of ouir country generally, is a hopelesa task, as the country's life in the middle ages is inextricable from the history of the Church.

ISPRING AND FASHION. I
I SPRING AND FASHION. I The Spring of 1917 still findis us in the turmoil of war, and almost the whole activities of the nation are devoted to its piroeecution. The difficulties of securing supplies seem insurmount able, and private business can only be conducted through the exercise of considerable ingenuity in overcoming the serious obstacles which the stem conditions of the moment necessitate. Each season brings new ideas, but although inai-tv have the same opportunities of taking 14) a now idea and introducing it. there is always someone who takes the lead. The enterprise of Wartaki's in securing so complete a showing of new Spring wear is particularly marked, and the goods now in their aliowrocins flhow a delight- fulness of totlJe and textaire which reflects im- mense credit on the British manufacturers who have produced them. The new garments have been difficult to secure, but Wartski Is stock has been well worth the extra trouble involved. No more sterling value or more irreproachably perfectly made goods can be ovairiecl throughout the country. Not only 119 tha variety larger than usual to cope with the increasing business enjoyed by the well-known speciality Dress house, but the quality is equal to the best they have ever offered. For the benefit of the times, when the most detached male feels himself aible to discuss "the astounding extravagance of women in time of war," it might be as well to remark that the most carelfullv dreased woman has not necessarily spent the most on her clothes. New garments must for one reason or another be obtained, end every woman knows the extra pleasure and the longer wear obtained when it is well bought. Wartfiki's oareful buying, expert aati stance, iin-d quiality ensures this satisfaction, and the utmost confidence may be displayed over each trans- action, whether it is few shillings or pounds. W ¡¡,rtski"e take this opportunity of announcing the re-opening of the Dressmaking and Tailor- ing Dejf^-tm-pnt under the new management of Madame SniTtbe, whose reputation in an impor- t-ant provincial house for perfection of style and fit will, we fee! sure, add to the reputation alrc&dy feint jw?;:l, d by this Ar;? for their good taste M Dress. In order to quickly introduce Madame's beauti ful work, Wartski's will, during the month of March, make a specially reduced Introduction Offer." particulars of which wiU be gladly giN7eri to any interested enquirer. Thair opening Spring Show is also announced for the 16t of March; 1. large attendance ia expected, and for this week Wartfcki'g have impressed on their assis- tants that ladies tre visiting their showrooms more with the idea of inspecting the new models than actual purchase. No one nesd therefore have the elighteet compunction of oallirng. One thing tha.t every lady who follows fashion knows is that her new corset must be first consideration each season, bsoauso if the oorset is not right the dress cannot fit stylishly, no matter how clever the dressmaker may be. Wftrteiki's, the enterprising local agents for the well-known Royal Worcester Kidfkting Corsets, announce tha.t they have already received the season's new models of this celebrated, make, vvfhioh improves every fa.shionn.ble feature. There are models for every type of figure, from A's fd upwarda, and every !ady should make a point of seeing t hese Spi-in- m dresses fitted.

B Jones' shop at Llanrwst, when Mr Owen Wil Lams, Crown Buildings, a local fancier, orossed over the road from his premises to inspect them. His keen eyee were immediately attracted by ono pup and he made an offer for it merely a nominal.'one—which was accepted. The dog developed splendidly. Mr 0. Williams realised that he possessed one of the best specimens of Irish terriers ever born How he attempted to dispose of it art compara- tively low prices, how its catalogued price of JE80 10s at Cruft's Show wae snapped up by one fancier, who sold it to an American for 93(9, and who in turn has ,-efu-sed C500 for the animal are related in the kennel papers Last Thursday a fancier travelled hundreds of miles to see if there were any more of the strain left at Lknrwst, and left a happy and hopeful mam in possession of "Fire Away's" mother and sister Tho Doge Weekly of last week eavr. "Mr J. J. Holgate's judgment in purchasing T&pton Blioy as a sire has been quickly justi- fied, aa one of the most taiked-of dogs at the Cruft's Show was the puppy Fire Away. who owns as his sire Tap-ton Bhoy. Quite a terrier romianco surrounds this youngster. Purchased for a modest sum by Mr O. Williams, of Llan- rwst, he was offered to several of the most pro- minent Irish terrier fanciers for £ 50, but as he was considered too good to send on approval, and as' Llamwst ifl not the most get-at-able place on tho map, much to their disappointment the deal was naitsed. Mr Williams decided to exhibit him at Cruft's Show under the care of Mr Hitehings, who had tie first look at this embryo champion and quickly became its owner, cabling Mr George Thomas to America. The terrier was taken to London for Mr Warburton's opinion, and he at once became Mr George Thomas' property at L-3w. Many, including such an authority on the breed as Mr S. Wilson. consider him THE BEST IRISH OF ALL TIMES, I naturally bar his Bolton Wood& Mixer. Mr Ballard was enchanted with the puppy, und .although he had missed him at J650 a cable was det-jpo tcthed from Cruft's Show asking Mr Thomas if ho would put a price on his recent purchase. At the close of the Show his reply was not to hand Fire Away was of course not benched at Cruit's. As Mr Williams catalogued him at R80 the risk of a &-aim was too great, although there is no dtoubt the certificate would have fallen to his number." The following paragraph also appears in the same periodical Congratula.ti°llt. to Mr Owen Williams on the success of his Iriah terrier Fire Away at Cruft's. This puppy proved one of the sensations of the Show, and several would- be purchasers were on hiq trail. But they were forestalled by Mr HitchtrLgs, who bought nim off Mr Williams. It again changed hands, though; and his present owner is Mr George Thomas. Quick business, what ? But this is not all, for I hear of another gentleman who is out to buy and intends to keep him in England if money will do the trick. He has already bid up to £ 500 for him. Any way, I hope lie suc- ceeds in purchasing him. for it will be a shame if such a promising youngster is aUowed to go out of the country. One terrier expert who saw him told me that he thinks Fire Away its the best Irish terrier ever bred." Dogs' Weekly states:- "A few weeks ago mention was made in this column that Mr Owen Williams, of Llanrv/et, claimed to have the best Irish terrier pup in Britain. He offered me the youngster for £ 50. Up to now I have never bought an Irish terrier dog. Being eesentially a breeder, my purchases have been ir, bitches, so I declined the offer without seeing the pup. Apparently the offer was made to many others with a like result. Nothing dauriod, Mr Owen Williams entered his pUlp at Cruft's. putting a selling price of £00 on him. The catalogue read*?:—'No, 700. Mr 0. Williams. Fire Aiyav. Breeder, Mr W. G'. G-riffiths.Born 11th April. 1916, by Tapton Bhoy -Itisli Rival.' Mr Joe Hitchems was entrusted wibh Firo Away, and when he saw the pup he promptly bought him for himself at the cata- logue prioe. The pUlP was brought up to Lon- don, and Mr Sam \Varburton, after going over him, without hesitation secured Fire Away for Mr George Thomas at a figure rumour places at over £ 200 "If this is eo, Fire Away must be the record pup of the breed. I was imable to got even a glimpse of this 'pearl of great price.' Mr Sam Wilson eays it is undoubtedly the best Iri.ch terrier since his champion Bolton Woods Mix r An urshown pup to be sold for a bigger fitr-ire than Champion Dcwible Shear and Champion Wroso Badger is somewhat ifte-ggering, to say the least of it. "If this dbg is so wonde!"fu.J, and I have no sbame t I L-i. t reason to dkyubt it wfafxt a cryinjr shame that he should bo lea-virus; this country at so early Bon age—be-fore liis services liavo been placed at fctud.

WELSH MUSICIANS IN EGYPT /
WELSH MUSICIANS IN EGYPT GOOD WORK BY NORTH WALES MEN. It is a well-known fact (writes a correspon- dent) that, when two Welshmen meet, they form a choir, and when joined by another they hold an Eisteddfod. It is, therefore, not surprising to learn that the Welsh .troops at present in Egypt have established "The Alexandria Welsh Military Male Voice 1'arty," and that several of the mem- bers come from North Wales. The choir, which is under distinguished patron- age, has an excellent conductor in Lieut W. T. Davies, who has thrown himself wholt heartedly into the work. Other valued friends are Messrs Davies and Robert Bryan, who are so well-knowp throug-hcut Carnarvonshire, and Dr. Webb Jones, whose long residence in Alexandria has not ex- tinguished his love for the Principality. Although only formed a few weeks a.go, the choir has already given several concerts at local hospitals, etc., but its initial appearance in public is to take place, very appropriately, on St. David's Day. The event is eagerly anticipated by the British and other residents of Alexandria, as it is well- known t-hat the worthiest traditions of Wales will be fully maintained. Mr Robert Bryan has dedicated to the choir a recently-composed chorus, Father of Heroes." The local Press describes it as a commanding work." The contrasts between the various move. ments, majestic and prayerful, were well de. veloped. If we may venture a suggestion, poe. sibly the whole work rendered unaccompanied would be an improvement. Certainty the beauti ful tranquil final movement lends itself peculiarly to such presentation. This initial public perform- ance of Lieut. Davies' band of singers promises well for their further appearances." Othft items in the programme were organ pieces from Mendelssohn, Raff, Lefebvre-Wely, and Ernest Bucalossi, admirably rendered by Lieut. Davies, and solos by Corporal T. H. Williams, an ex- cellent baritone. The church was orowded, por- tions of the audience occupying the organ gallery and pulpit precincts, while the later comers had to be excluded altogether.
ECZEMA ALL OVER BABY'S HEAD…
ECZEMA ALL OVER BABY'S HEAD AND BACK. GRATEFUL MOTHER DESCRIBES ZAM- BUK CURE. So grateful was Mrs D. Smith, of Ivy Cottage, Northwood, Ellas tone, Ashbourne, when Zam Buk completely cured her baby's dictressinj soaip eczema, that she gladly related the circuino stances to an Ashbourne Telegraph repreeenta tive. When two months old," said Mrs Smith, "mj son David started with a breaking-out on ibe top of his head, and very soon David's head, fase and back were covered all over with little run- ning eczema sores which afterwards scabbed. I tried several ointments and oils, etc., but all tc no purpose. A doctor also attended baby foi so-ie time, but there was no improvement m the obstinate skin complaint. "Having read about Zam-Buk curing eczema, I bought a box from the chemist, and gently applied the balm to the itchy, run" ning sores. From the very finst Zam. Buk brought relief. Instead of tossing about and crying, David was clearly easier after the Zam-Buk had been applied. The cores ceased to discharge, and, urideir the influence of Zam- Buk, the scabs were softened and then came away. "I kept on the Zam-Buk, and presently noticed that tho child's skin was becoming clear, and the sores wore healmg quite nicely. This im- provement was steadily maintained, until in a short time the little one's skin was as clear aa it could possibly be. Not a sign of the eczema have I seen since then. I always keep Zam-Buk at hand, and havi used it for the other children. For burns "breakings-out," etc., there is nothing M good as this soothing balm.
