this matter, we might mention that
street lighting wns aguln brought up,
nnd, as tbe Council is determined to
work (or and protect tho liitorostH ol
the City, tbey will not pay tbo present hill rendered, which thoy rightly
consider extortionate. The matter
was reforcd to a committee wllb
power to act. The Council after dun
consideration came to thn conclusion
that If the price demanded for the
street lights wns not reduced, they
will Issue the necessary Instructions
to the Electric Light Co., to take
down the present Tungsten lights In
use and Install tho old arc lights.
The report ot the sewerage committee was received and favorably
considered.
Aldermen Campbell ami Atchison
moved that the amendment to tbo
procedure by-law No. 3, be read—Carried. Tald by-law wus then road a
lirst, second and third time.
The Police Committee presented a
system of police supervision to the
Council that will considorali y reduce
the friction that at present exists.
That a system of colored lights he
established In different, parts of the
city, controlled from the central
telephone ollice, and 11 the pollco are
wanted In any part of the city all n
person has to do Is to ring up central, give the necessary information,
then central turn on tho colored
lights, tbe pollco observing the same
phones central, receives their Instructions, and make a hurry run to the
place where they arc wanted. The
Electric Light company Imve kindly
tillered the (roe use of these lights,
and the telephone company the free
use of phones.
The Fire and Police committee
were Instructed to get prices tor tbe
installing of these lights, and have
the system In working order as soon
a* possible.
In connection with the communication Irom Inspector Alliens, his re*
ommendatlons were of tho right kind
and will appeal to everyone. It appears that In the city there are some
6 or 8 different persons and two dll
lerent companies engaged in changing
and doing repair work on electric
Irlng. Many of these people are incompetent or careless about tholr
work, and in mnny canes there In
great danger ol tires, (rom tho In
competent work done. Mr. Aiken
writes that in places about town the
(uses have lieen replaced by wire
nails also picture cord wire, nnd
as a matter of fact there are places
without any fuses.
This Is certainly a serious state of
affaire and as a safeguard against
(Ires, it Is absolutely necessary thnt
the strict letter ol the law should be
enforced In this matter.
Mr. Aikens stated that through the
centre of the city, along nnd branch
Ing off from main streets, there were
premises that have wires so careless
ly installed, that there Is great dan
ger ol accidents and fires. The recommendation he would make to avoid
this danger in tho future is to have
all persons who alter, or make anv
repairs in whatever shape or form
have them pass a certain examine
tion written nnd verbal, as to tholr
knowledge ol wiring, according to tho
established rules of Underwriters.
Mr, Aikens also stated tbut his
authority did not fully Justify him
In making certain examinations nnd
asked tho Council to give him thai
authority, that in doing so, it would
greatly increase the usefulness of his
position and be a help to him in improving the electrical work In the
city. The matter was relered to tho
Fire and Police committee.

In connection with the St. Eugene
hospital grnnt of last year, which was
not been paid up to the present time,
several of tho Aldermen wanted to
know what privileges woro given 'to
the City lor making thin grant. It
was moved hy Aldermen Johnson and
Campbell that the matter be relered
to a committee to make necessary
enquiries for the Information of the

There is a big improvement neccs
sary In the interest taken by tho
rate payers in the doings ot tho City
Council, and the council havo provided seats aor the accommodation off rate payers who are Intorostcd In knowing what the council are doing, and
who wish to attend their meetings,
It Is all very well to have the local
press report these meetings for the
benefit of the property holders, but,
more satisfactory to all concerned If
there were n largo attendnncu 0f rate
payers at everv meeting of the council.
The Council Chamber Is to he (Itted
out with new chairs In keeping with
the rest of the furniture, and nt the
same time provide for tho comfort of

Cranbrook is Proud
Cranbrook's Amateur Operatic Society
Thrills Vast Audiencies With
Unsuspected Talent.
Never before has the people of
Cranbrook been able to leel so proud
of Itself and the talent it possesses
as It did on Tuesday and Wednesday
nights, when they went In crowds to
tho Auditorium Theatre and listened
to the splendid music and singing
and saw the acting ol one ot Lionel
Monckton's muclcal comedies "The
Country Girl."
Never belore has praise been so
worthily bestowed on amateurs a* lt
has been this week, the result ol so
much work and perseverance undertaken by a number of the ladles and
gentlemen ol Cranbrook. All local
talent, all wiUi the interest of the
production at heart; all wishlull ol
the Buccess of such a task voluntarily
imposod; practice became a pleaaure
and rehearsals u joy, undor the hands
of Messrs. Geo. D. Ingram, musical
director; and C. K. Loubach, stage
'imnager. Great credit Is due both
those gentlemen lor the excellent way
they bandied such a large chorus and
produced out ol raw material such
excellent results.
Many people have still in their
mind pleasant recollections ot last
yoar's production o( "The Geisha,"
nnd again has the musical talent ol
Oranbrook been clearly proved. Many
there were In the audience that made
comparisons with tbe numerous professional companies that come to
cranbrook from time to time and
remained convinced that tbe dlffer-
tncealwav» laid in (avor ol the local
Operatic and Dramatic Society.
Very difficult It Is lor any selection ol favorite* to be made or (or
any single part ol the production
that gained In lavor with the audience be specialized, we can't do it,
lor all were excellent. Th* several
players and singers taking leading
ports were so equalised and so faithful In production that one and all
nre deserving ot the greatest praise.
When the opening overture began,
the Auditorium was crowded to Its
utmost capacity. The music aa It
floated in the air gave evidence ot
the careful way tho orchestra had
been trained and to the untiring el-
forts ot Its leader, which led to such
iierfect results.
To the rising of the curtain and
tbe perfect ease with which the members taking part In the chorus came
before the public gaze, the natural-
n-ss ot the participants was ample
proof of the manager's care and forethought in details.

Thore is another part of the programme that must not be overlookrd
and which played a lug part In the
success of the spectacular side of the
production, and reference must he
made to the nxiiulslte costumes the
ladies wore. These were entirely ot
tbelr own making and reflects great
patience. The scenery wns painted
by J. S. Mennle.and was a gem of
the scenic art, and mnde especially
(or this production. The furniture
was furnished by the Ftnli Mercantile
Co.
Cranbrook cannot but appreciate
the advertising it obtains from what
has become to be looked upon as a
yearly affair. Numerous visitors from
tho outlying districts came in to see
the play, and certainly returned home
filled with praise and admiration of
the excellent production of the Cranbrook Operatic Society. Visitors
from Nelson and other places, say
that thoy never saw anything to
equal it, and absolutely none to surpass it.
The suggestion ns thrown out hy
a number of prominent citizen* that
a tour ot several towns in the Pass
and on the prairie be made, and
can be vouched for by their sincerity
by guaranteeing the expense of the
trip.

Unprepared for

Growth
Winnipeg, Peb. 6.—*tn response to a
request for a statement on the tran
sportatlon situation in the West. Mr.
Qeo. Bury, vice-president of the <'.r
R. dictated the following
The handling of the grata crop of
rii l has hern widely dtiouawd and
before attempting 'o Hz the reipon*
slbllltyi I presume the public desires,
to bear from those charged with the
operation "f tbe railways. Up to
Ketif 2, L912, 1M.677 cars ol grain of
the 1911 crop imd passed Inspection.
Un Feb. U, l«.tll. 61,106 earn ot tbi
1910 crop had passed Inspection. That
is to Hay, of the 1911 crop the railways handled from harvesting time'
up to Feb. 2, 64 per cent more cars
than were hnndled up to the same
time last year. Rut thin Is not all
the case. Threshing la*t year was
trom three weeks to a month later
than usual so that thin greatly increased tonnage wan handle! in con
stderabty less time.
PREVENTED DOAL FAMINE
Never did circumstances combine Id
such a degree as in 1911 to compli-
cats transportation. Not only was
the crop late as already mentioned
but It was of Indifferent quality in
n-arts, resulting in much more switching at the lake terminals nnd In
many cases delay In securing disposition, Special binding also greatly reduced the capacity of the elevators.
The coal strike in the west of which
nobody could estimate the duration
made it necessary to bring in n
yrear'H supply of fuel from the east
to cover locomotive requirements on
the prairies. The Canadian Pacific
was compelled to use Pennsylvania
eoal through to British Columbia. It
war nlfln neeeHnarv to give merchants
storage accommodation nnd unloading facilities, bo that they could
serve with eastern conl a territory
usually supplied from Alberta. To do
this nnd protect the public against
a conl famine on the plains this win
ter the Canadian Pacific brought in
■inn,ow; tons of locomotive eoal nt a
coat of $l.r,l ,i ton more thnn the
price normally paid tor coal in the
territory where it was consumed, t's
ually during the summer months
when coal is brought ns fnr east as
Brandon loading Ik thus afforded for
cars going west with merchandise.
ThlH yenr the conl moved west. In the
name direction ns ihe merchandise
which made it more difficult and ei
pensive to handle.
WEATHER HANDICAP.
It is Home what goncrally supposed
thnt the main obstacle to successful
operations ot trains in the winter is
snow. Such is not the case; the main
difficulties are low temperatures and
strong winds. It. remiires a creditable amount of pluck on the part of
railway employees to turn out to
handle locomotives ,,r to switch ears
when the temperature is away below
zero; and ihe machinery also feols the
strain. A prolonged spell of cold
weather means that a locomotive tu
efficient condition will handle from
on<> third to one hair the number of
cars it would pull In ordinary weather. The effect of the cold snap which
began at Christmas and which (or
iteadlness, duration and extent ol
territory covered, was unprecedented
and can not hs estimated It ipe&ki

we enn obtain is that 61.r»iW,rtrt0 bus-b- ■

weather the loading will he doubled.
PROBLEM A TERMINAL ONE.
It Is natural for r man who cannot
get his grain shipped at once or who
rinds his cu.r making slow time tn
transit to assume that there is a
shortage in ears or locomotives. As
far as the Canadian Pacific is concerned we have had at nil times during the crop movement of tbe past
season all the ears and locomotives
we have trackage to accommodate.
Any congestion which has occurred
has been due to luck of terminal
room and of second trneks.
RESPONSIBILITY OF RAILWAYS.
It may bo asked why the terminal
spaoe and the second trneks were not
available. Speaking for the Canadian Pacific I would say that during
the past, eight years we have had
every year more money allotted for
improvements than we could expend.
Tbe men nnd material were not available to complete tbem although the
work was prosecuted with the utmost
vigor.
This year the Canadian Pacific will
carry through a great program of
terminal nnd double track construction even If other work has to take
Roconri place.
Development Exceeded Expectation.
If we are perfectly frank with each
other we will have lo admit that development of the country has carried
everybody off his feet. The rush o!
Immigration and the introduction ol
gasoline farm machinery which enables the fnrmer to break 30 acres a
day, has brought the Innd tinder cultivation at a rate unprecedented In
the history of the world. Since 1907
the acreage under grain cultivation
has Increased 'ts per cent.
In conclusion Mr. Bury advocates
greater attention to mixed farming
nnd the rnrryintr out of a policy of
education In that branch of agriculture.

With the construction of yet other

would be a credit to any nation lu

Husband and wives give expression,

some molehill assumes tbe proportions of a mountain. A tendency to
nag goes unchecked among the children, and almost before the parents
are aware there is a chronic condition of unpleasantness lu the home.
Young married people, especially
need to learn control in tbls direction. Another disagreeable trait to
be guarded against is tbe habit, peculiar to some people, of always being on the opposite Bide ot a question. Call attention to tbe good

Attending Physician
Will Aid Prospectors
It is expected to make the presence
ol prospectors one of the leading
features of the Northwest Mining
Convention, to In held In Spokane,
February 15 to 17, under the auspices
ol the Mining Men's Club. A large
attendance ol prospectors and claim
owners is expected, and it le stated
that everything possible to bring out
their views regarding tbelr needs upon legislation and other subjects, affecting the prospector, will be done.
With tlriB object In view, the Besslons
of the convention and the Bmoker In
connection with it will be as informal
as possible, and nothing will be
omitted to encourage the prospectors
to express their view*.
Another way In which it is to ben-
eflt them is by bringing them in contact with mining operators and capitalists seeking Investments, and hy
enabling them to tell the public
about tho district in which they are
operating.
The prospector also Is urged to
bring und exhibit samples ot ore and
mineral from the district In which he
is Interested. The exhibit being arranged lor will Include, not only ores
minerals, and mining products, but

Without working (or some special
end, It Is almost Impossible, in any
course ot action, to proceed with
much steadiness. Tho lives of our
greatest and most noble Englishmen
have been characterised by "strong
determination of purpose and fixed
resolution." The possession ol these
admirable qualities contribute a
great deal towards success in any
undertaking. After having carefully
considered in your unbiassed minds
the merits and demerits ol each respective pursuits, and having .definitely chosen the one wblcb you believe
to be the best and most adapted to
your taste and abilities, you should
devote the whole ol your time and
concentrate the whole ot your mental
powers to the study ot the subject,
persisting strenuously, until at length
as the result ol your unwavering
perseverance and unremitting assiduity, victory crowns your laudable
.ffort*.
We know full well that In tbe ma]
itity of cases the young aspirant, a*
le pushes his way through the rugg-
id paths leading to knowledge, meets
vith difficulties Innumerable; in lact
they appear to him at first insur-
I'oiintable. As he traverses the vast
lesert he observes a multiplicity ot
ibstructtlons lying across his path
With these he must accomplish, ol
which he little dreamed at the outset. It seems apparent to him that
us sanguine anticipations are bnulk-
d, and that Ills most cherished hope
Hid ambition have proved tuttle.
At this critical point, Instead of relinquishing his hold on the precious
'.-ems of knowledge from weariness or
ihhorranre, a reaction takes place In
ihe form of a revival of energy. We
■ mlcBltatlngly affirm that by'redoub-
i nt: his efforts the youthful student
would considerably dissipate the In-
mslty of the pressure which is slowly hut surely conducing to a terrible
it.nte ot nervous despondency. Finally, be would be enabled to completely extricate himself from the intricacies In which he was Involved, and
then, whilst surrounded hy the brilliant halo of biiccobs, he would realize and heartily congratulate himself
that his valuable time had been spent
advantageously, and forthwith prepare to repp ami enloy the Irults ol
tils personal labors.
We would Impress on our reader*,

ImnosslhlS to succeed without Individual exertion. Do not be dlscon-
concorted nt fnllure when commencing. There will *ure to be numerous difficulties to bo overcome at
every step; do not succumb (metaphorically speaking) throw yourself
into tbe abyss of despair; but rather work harder and harder, ploddlug
earnestly, serenely, nnd contentedly
thereby deriving the gratiiication ol
knowing that you have succeeded in
winning the reward by your own unaided elections.

Prolessor Rudolph Binder, ol New
York University, has written a very
brilliant dissertation on "romantic
love." We frankly admit that tbe
discourse Ib extremely Instructive. II
not exactly convincing—especially to
those old-fashioned people who still
adhere to the ancient moralistic
landmark*. Tbe professor defines the
phrase "romantic love" as "the
happiness which one person finds in
another's company." He deplores tht
fact that In our larger cities the lack
of privacy prevents the visiting informally of girls hy young men. The
home environment Is limited and un-
congenial, and these conditions are
not favorable to young people getting
acquainted. These arguments arc
startling to say the least. Few par |
ents will countenance this sort o (
privacy, and all philosophical stud- j
ents of human nature will readily
admit that this kind of "romantic
love" (associated wttb such an un
warrantable, freedom from constraint)
would undoubtedly, sooner or later,
degenerate into that familiarity
which is always the fore runner of
libidinoslty and profligacy. A young
man calling on his sweetheart, who
objects to the presence ol any mem
her ol the family, and insists on being alone Is not a desirable suitor.
The prolessor goes on to explain
that "material love" merely "wants
the possession ol the other person.'
We much preler this kind ol affection,
in contradiction to that which it
satisfied "with only the company".
Misery and degredation in their worst
forms are oftentimes the outcome of
this latter dangerous method ol
courting.

liefore the time Of I'ai liter there
was a man by the name of De v."1"
fetdt, who lived in New Jersey and
wbo Invented a fltoppor that took the
trade away from the corka of our
youth. This stopper was of rubber
and was tightened by a wire attach
niont which was pulled down as a
lever nn tbe outside ol the bottle.
A decade ago they were generally
used on milk bottles, De QuillloMt
Is said to have made llfteen million
dollars out of IiIh patent. He might
have amassed a competence luul it
not been for William Painter and
another e<|iinlly clever person who
fitted a piece nf pasteboard Intn the
neck of H milk bottle and took the
business away from him,
TO KEEP DRBHSKS HOOKED.
An Idea that is perhaps (simpler
than the pasteboard stopper ia the
"humps" on the hooks that furnish
so much employment for married men
Just before theatre time. Women hftd
been fHHtcnini; their dresses up with
hooks and eyes for a generation and
It is probable that someone has made
a lot of money out of the original
invention. Hut hooka had a way ol
coining unfastened, much to the chagrin of the neat and fussy.
Then came the genius of the hook
and eye. A man who was wide awake
despite bis residence In Philadelphia
bent one of these hooks so as tn
make a hump in it. He tried booking
it and It remained hooked. He patented ft and has monopolized the
business through his "nee that hump'
advertisements ever since.
One day a man stood behind •his
wife while Bhe put up ber hair. The
hairpins of those days were straight
pieces of wire. They did not stay
put very effectually. Tbe woman In
the ca^e bent her hairpins before putting them iu. Her husband Haw her
do it. The result was the Invention
of the crinkly hairpin which is today
used in riii-loiid lots by the women of
the world.
So Important an invention as the
telephone was made by turning a
Hcrew one-fourth of ft revolution. All
tbe millions that have resulted from
the Invention of the Hell telephone
depended upon the slight twist of the
wrist of Dr. Alexander Bell. There
had been men before Doctor Hell who
had come near finding a way to make
female gossip nnd masculine commercial intercourse easier. The Rein patents came nearest success. Hut in
the Reis patentB the current was Intermittent.
It had to leap a gap. Doctor Bell
dosed the gap when he turned the
screw. But Dr. Hell was not trying
to invent a telephone when he incidentally stumbled upon his secret.
He was working upon a method of
making speech visible, for his wife
was deaf and dumb and he was seeking an easy method of conversation
with ber. Instead he found a method
of talking over a wire to people at a
distance. He did not patent tbe idea
however, and It knocked about tbe
house for months.
BELL WAS JUST IN TIME.
Finally he demonstrated it to some
friends and they saw tbe possibility
of its application. Upon their advlce
he patented tbe invention. His pa
tent was bled at 10 o'clock in the
morning, and at three in the'afternoon another man applied for a patent on the same thing, and Inst

In hard luck. It wan a love match all

PRIZE "B"—
1100.00 to be given to thn farmer In each
Province Who USfiB "CANADA" Cement
for the greatest number of purposes,
TUB respottse to our aunouncemcrii of this contosl has been most gratifyiufr—ftacrip-
tions nnd pholnp-rnplis hnvo boon received from all parts of Canada. Wo believe,
however, that in some provinces thero i\w examples of work superior to any that have
yet been described in the photographs and descriptions already received;
Yon; entry may be one of the thirty-six
prize-winner*.
There arc four j 100.000 cash prlaes for
each Province, Thus you ure In competition
only with those surrounded by ihfcaamo con-
dttlons us yourself.
WE WANT PACTSl
Tha eon teat is ao arranged that the umount
of cement you have used malt en no difference
(except for Prbse "A"). Neither do you have
to bo tin expert photographer or trained writer.
Wo wont facts, not art or essays. En trios wilt
be Judged from a practical, common-sense
Standpoint, Bo don't pay particular attention
to tfrnmmar or punotiwtlon, .lust tell, plainly
nnd simply, na you would In talking to Nofgh-<
bor Jones, on the n.*xt concession, how you
built the silo, or tho barn or cistern. As for
the photograph, thai neoQ not worry you. Your
son's or da-ughtor'a camera will do nicely.
PRILKIts WIM. HEM* YOU.
In nny evertt, do not lot the Idea of having
a photograph inude drier you from entering
the oompautloiti Vour local dealer has been
requested to help In nines where tt Is not convenient for the farmer to procure a camera
in the neighborhood. Thus you arc on nn
equal footing with every other contestant.
I.et us repent, we want nn many tiwis about
tho uae of concrete on the farm as wo can get.
We knew that the fnrmors who nro using it
WOUld bo tho beat flttod lo glVO US th.-nr facta.
Tiiut'u why (he -sontost was started,
If a neighbor stopped »t your gnlr on his
wny from market and ashed you how you
linilt that m-w silo, you would he clad lo tell
him, wouldn't you? And you'd probably
describe every step In its construction, tell
him whnt the materials cost, how much labor
.wan required, and why it Is better than the
oM one. Now, since wc can't mop at your
gale, wo Imve lo ask you to writs this same
description, We want to make It worth your
while. So we offer these prises.
HOW TO GET CntCCLARS,

minister of war, left London suddenly lor Berlin today altor he bad a
conlerence with the King and Sir

it is believed to have a direct bearing upon the strained situation
which everyone recognize* a* being

Indignation in England over the conviction and sentence ol Bertrand
Stewart for espionage.
On the train with Lord Haldane
wns Sir Ernest Cassell, the banker
and representative of the great financial interest* which are extending
every effort to avoid war with Ger

that before Lord Haldane'* departure the King had a conference with
Sir Edward Grey and Lord Lans-

rooms to enjoy a Hue spread an!
take part In a social time.
After enjoying tbo eatables, cigars
were passed around and everyone
made themselves bh comfortable as
possible. Mr. J. I'. Kink, an chairman, oalled upoa Mr. II. Stevens lor
a song, followed by a piano solo by
Mr. Hatsall.
Mr. Fink, in his address of welcome to tho visiting players said:
"that everyone was plensed at the
visit the Nelson hoys had made, at
the same time saying how he hoped
they would onloy themselves even ns
much as tho Cranbrook boys did up
an their visit to Nolson. The chairman also drew attention to the lact
that these visits were among those
prominent things that did tho most
to advertise the city. Among other
things expressing appreciation (or
the efforts thnt every place along the
Crow was doing to have these cordial and enjoyable visit* made.
Mr. It: J. Campbell of Nelson responded by saying how much the
boys appreciated tho welcome given
to them, and hoping although Cranhrook had beat them by a small margin during tbe day's play they would
be able to pull themselves together
tomorrow and make good.
Mr. A. Shankland was neit called
upon for a song, which was followed
by a short address on behalf af the
local team by J. Ft. Thompson.
J. Allen and W. Johnson toasted
the ladtaa, and Messrs. Turner ol
NelBon, and Teet, ol Cranhrook made
a lew remarkB respecting the work
of the Y.M.C.A. tn Nelson and Cranbrook.
D. J. McSweyn rendered a song In'
hla usual good style; H. Brown was
called upon for a few words, and F.
M. Christian, of tho Prospector responded for the Pros*.
The evening waa well spent and
proved to bo tho moans of drawing
together the memborB of the local
teams with that of the Nelson more
closely.
Tho result of tho throe game* was
a win for Cranbrook by 99 pins.
Nelson won the 2nd game by 123lpln»
Cranbrook winning tho 1st end 3rd
