WHY?
Because they have investigated that town.
Have you heard the details of iti awakening? Do you know that it is the largest town between
Calgary and Vancouver? Do you know that it is bound to be the great distributing point in the interior of British Columbia? Do you know that during the coming year, the work of building the Canadian Northern
into that city will be commenced? Do you know that the C.P.R. is building an alternative freight route
from Red Deer by the Yellow Head Pass to Kamloops? Do you know that the C.P.R. bought last fall $250,000
worth of property to enlarge its yards, shops and round houses and will build a new depot? Do you know that the
Provincial government is to build a new $200,000 Old Men's Home? Do you know that a new Catholic convent
costing $85,000 has just been completed? Do you know that the city is lo build a new hospital costing 1125,000?
Do you know that the town has some 4,500 to 5,000 people? Do you know that the Government and the C.N.R.
are to build at once a new traffic and railway bridge at Kamloops to cost $250,000? Do you know that the streets
are all graded, cement sidewalks laid, residental streets paved? The climate is superb, the yards bowers of beauty,
made so by flowers and vines that are in bloom to November 1 st, and start to show life again in March. Do you
know that the population will double in fifteen months, and within fifteen years the town will have at least 15,000
people ? Do you know that the country is surrounded by magnificent farming and fruit lands, with mineral galore,
and that Kamloops apples have won many prizes? Dp you know there is no more beautiful place on earth to live?
Well we do. We know all these things as well as a man can know anything that he has given a close study to. We
have staked our all on Kamloops.    Many others have done the same and made good.
ls onl)' twelve blocks from the highest priced property in the town, a beautiful residential site commanding a magnificent view. Lots are selling from $210 to $490 each, but only half will be placed on sale—every other lot. Why?
Because we feel confident in our own hearts that we will double our money on the other half next year. This is no
cheap proposition, yet you can buy on terms of one-eighth down and five per cent per month for eighteen months.
That gives a chance to sell in five or six months, and after a few payments would get the advantage of the increase.
To make money we should buy before the increase.

SEWERAGE  BY-LAW  DBFHJATBD
The Debenture by-law to rmse the
sum of $100,000 (or thc construction
'of 11 sewerage system was defeated
;on Tuesday through the proporty
owners not taking sufficient Interest
in the matter,     thinking that au   a
matter of   necessity that    it would
pass, hence many remained away
'from tho polls. The result o! the
I election wan hu (or, am) 7:1 against

necessary    threi'-flftliH    were not     Ob-

Uh defeat.
A WORD OF WARNING
Now that the sewerage by-law hnu
been turned down hy the people, The
Prospector sounds a word of warning, which should be seriously considered.
Cranhrook ia (ace to face with a
situation thnt demands the most care
ful thought. With the breaking up of
winter and the advent of Bprlng,
conditions will be precipitated that
will imperil the health aud well being of the people owing to the absence of any system of sanitation.
An epidemic seems inevitable unless
some drastic measure of alleviation
Is speedily and carefully provided.
The city fathers, in their wisdom,
foresaw the present conditions, and
havo been to considerable expense to
solve the problem, and after nearly
a year o( investigation, realized thnt
It was their duty, as well as the request of a large number ol progressive cltisens, to place before tbu people a means of providing for the
safety of the city; but for some unknown reason the proporty owners
have not seen Ht to assist, them by
passing a by-law that would have
given to the people that protection
against disease which in the near
future may take the form of an epidemic, costing thousands of dollars
to eradicate.
Conditions In Home parts of tbe
city are deplorable and it begins to
look as though the onus will rest
largely with tho property owner to
work out a system of temporary
sanitation. The city council, under
the advice of competent, medical experts, and a full and complete investigation of conditions, have in good
faith done their duty, It now rosta
with tbo people.
(Jack yards, and premises, lanes
and alleys should be thoroughly
churned and all refuse aud contaminating matter removed. Cesspools
nnd privies should he cared for as
well aa all other sources of menace
to public health. Danger lurks in
the neur future and every possible
moans will have to he organized to
secure the public health. The elty
I council lias done all It can, the citizens should be sufficiently appreciative of the seriousness uf Uie situation as to act promptly and efficiently, keeping their premises in the
most sanitary condition possible,

The division ot the competition
into two lots is as (ollows: Those

over fifteen cows milking.     This di-
ision should induce a larger number of our dairymen in the province
to compete In this competition. All
the expense that it requires is that

He was not to be put ofl by Sir
Wilfrid Laurier'a suggestion that
Montreal melons could be had at

Mr. Burrell did not view tlie question of reciprocity from a purely
c immerclal .standpoint. He admitted that his opposition was not entirely based ou the injury to the
fruit industry. This only made all
the stronger the array of facta and
figures which he presented to prove
that the Fielding-Unox arrangement
would" deal a death blow to the Canadian fruit industry in tho Niagara
district und on the Paciflc CoaBt.
Mr. Paterson, the Minister ot Customs, learned to his sorrow that Mr.
Burrell knew what he wns talking
about. In 1907 the minister from
his place in the House had declared
in favor ul a tariff against American
fruit. He tried to explain this during Mr. Burrell's speech by saying

R. S. Garrett, of the "Eutertainer"
came to our help this week when
we werc unfortunately shortbanded
! and had lots of work to do, and wo
appreciated his services.
: The lord mayor of Dublin says
| that he cannot keep house on $8,000
a year. Any newspaper man can
sympathize with him, for of course
^they couldn't do it.
i The German sutlragettes may dis-
Iturb the German government by
sending German girls out to marry
: Canadians, but what good will lt do
be suffragette cause?
I A man down In Ingersol wbo sold
bibles was sentenced for forgery.
This could not he said to be an
i evidence of good habits having boen
■ orrupted   by evil  communications.
There IB to be a meeting of the
I Board of Trade Tuesday ,lght and
(every member is requested to turn
out. There is some important bus-
jiness to transact aud a good allir.d-
iance is hoped for.
i Owing to the paper not having ar-
ived from the mills It Is Impossible
,for us to give the people of Cranbrook an eight, page paper this week.
Next    week, the March  11  Issue, you
shall have one.
| In real estate circles there wns considerable activity this week. A iiuni-
, ber of prospective purchasers wore In
j the city, nnd the various brokers
I report that large numbers are enquiring for good agricultural land.
They oipoct a rush ol settlers to the
'Kootenny vnlley In the spring.
; Thc Kootenny Telephone Lines are
certainly trying to do their best to
accommodate ovoryone in thc Koot-
;cnays by developing tholr lines in all
directions. Their latest addition is
opening up an exchange In Klko with
.fifteen   subscribers.     This   exchange
iwill be used as a switching point for
the Waldo and Bayneu Lake district.
It is a disappointment o Tlio
Prospoctor that, we have not boon
nblo to carry out our intentions this
week. Wo had intended giving to
Oranbrook nn eight page papor, full
j of Interesting reading, hut, not having
ocelved our paper (rom the mills wo
wore tumble to do so. Wntch next
week's Inline.
It is our purpose during tho month
Ol March to distribute the Prospector

'izcns will be able to seo Ior themselves the efforts wo are making to
give Crnnbrook a papor worthy of
nny home. If you do not recolvfl one

The funeral of thc late Andrew

City, Minnesota to attend thc funeral.
AWAKENING    OF   CHINA
There has been going on ln China
tor a lew years past a movement ol
political and social reform that will
startle thc unthinking world when
Its results begin to appear. It is
just ten years since the death of Li
Hung Chang, the greatest of Chinese
statesmen of whom the outside world
knows nothing definite. Alter he
had, with the aid of "Chinese" Gordon, suppressed the Tnlplng rebellion
in 1864 he rose rapidly to a position
of commanding Influence, and with
the exception of a brief Interval
marked by tbe disastrous war with
Japan, he held It till bis death in
1901. He had accomplished as much
as any one man could do ln creating
a navy, keeping the Empire territorially intact, and infusing Into he
minds ol his countrymen some ol
those western political ideas which
he appreciated while tie disliked
them.
With tbo passing nt Ll Hung
Chang came a period ol confusion,
which made it difficult to see how
the Chinese Empire could tall to become the prey of Russia and Japan
indeed, had these two powers cooperated Instsad of antagonizing
each other there might have heen Ir-
rcpnrnble dismemberment of Chinese
territory. The younger statesmen
who are now invested with the management ol public affairs are earnest
anil intelligent in their policy, both
civil and military. They aro cautiously preparing to substitute parliamentary government for the old autocracy; they are organizing as rapidly as is compatible with efficiency
an army which will In a few years
be a million strong; they are building up a powerful Hoot ol modern
war vessels, small and large; above
all, they are learning Irom the western foreigners the necessity for all
kinds of reforms and the methods of
carrying them out. In ten yonra
from now China will be one of the
most powerful ol the great powers,
and will ho quite proof against either
Itunsiii or Jnpan, perhaps against
both In alliance.
It becomes an interesting quostlon
what the Chlnoso will try to accomplish when they find themselves able
to practice successfully not merely
dolonslvo strategy hut offensive methods. It Is quite certain thnt thoy
will try to clear Manchuria of all
foreign domination; thnt thoy wlll
endeavor to control, If not own, all
railroads, and that they will restrain
within narrow limits the territorial
franchises allowed lor many years
past to foreigners at their principal
seaporta tor trading purposes.
