They,, iui- mediately gave the alarm und the iui; department tinned out at once. The lire hud such a hold that all that could bo done was to take care ot thv buildings near hy. By half past three llie old school building was a mere reap of hot ashes. It is impossible to say liotv the building caught lire. The janitor says that there was absolutely no fire iu the building at ti.'ili last night. In fact, some ot the teachers complained that their class rooms were cold as early as 3.3(1. However, the fire started. It is certain that it originated within the building and downstairs, because tbe timbers of the lower part ot the building fell inward as the root collapsed. The burning of the old school removes an old landmark from the city. The tirst school ever held in Cranbrook was in a part of the building now occupied by the Prospector and the first school teacher was Mrs. J. F. M. Pinkham. In 1899 a small school was built and in 1902 the big school was built, A. D, Grant lieing the contractor. Later a wing was huiit by James Drier. Both of these buildings stood until this morning, and being adjacent to each other, were consumed by the flames. The fire department.did most excellent work, as they always do, turning out and getting to tlie burning building in a very short space of time after the alarm was received. Two lines of hose were laid and two streams were soon playing on the burning building, but the fire had too much of a hold ior these tu be of auy avail, so the liremcn devoted tueit energies towards saving the surroundings, ana tins they succeeded in doing. Tiie burning of thc school is a great loss to Uianurook, uui only) linaneial- iy, as there was no insurance, nut nccause it will be almost impossluiu to arrange for the holding ul school until alter the summer vacation, it would lake at least three weeks to make auy kind of temporary arrangements and secure books from the coast, aud that would only leave three weeks' school. However, the high school class, which is Md in the government building, will continue as usual, and arrangements will probably be made tu continue the entrance class, so that they can tase tneir examination. Whilst some of the children are sorry to sec the old building burned, most of them were delighted at the prospect of the enforced holiday. This morning the ruins were like a human ant lull, swarming with boys and gnls. "That's where my seat used to be," said a fat rosy-faced boy uf abuut eight. "1 wonder where my pencil box went," said a bright little girl, Each and everyone of the youngsters had something lo say, nnd' many were thc regrets for the loss uf this or that favorite hook, compasses, squares and so forth. The old school has gone, but the new lifty thousand dollar building is under way and in a short time Cranbrook's educational institution will arise like thc Phoenix from its ashes in a more glorified form. A KNIGHTS OK COLUMBUS. A council ol the Knights of Columbus will be instituted in Cranbrook next Monday. The Knights of Columbus is an order instituted in the earlv eighties at New Haven, Conn., and is strictly a Roman Catholic institution, lt is a benefit society in the lirst place and has thc usual insurance facilities common to most fraternal institutions. Besides this it is a social order in every sense of 1 he term. Knights are expected from Spokane, Calgary and other points both east and west to take part in the inauguration here. A large class of candidates will be initialed and a big time is expected. ADDITIONAL LOCALS l.iH'KIIAItT COMMITTED TRIAL. Magistrate.

UY THE OLD MAN. t What the people of Cranbrook want and demand is u real lire alarm and not a false alarm. The business men ol this city are entitled to uu alarm tbat will notify them when u lire lias taken place. It is up to tbe authorities to provldo such an alarm. Then- will be more market gardening done this year than ever before in the history of the I'ranbrook district. The reason is thut the market for fresh vegetables is always increasing and those iu the business feel sure ol a good market. It pays lo advertise in thc Herald. A certain gentleman who bus been persistently advertising in these columns told us this week that he hu<l received inquiries from PenMo ton, H. C,| und from Latjuaro, Arizona. This shows that the Herald is read, not only in British Columbia, but all over the continent. The lumbermen of Kast Kootenay have inaugurated a movement tbat will lead to a permanent organization for the purpose of protecting tbe timber limits of this district. Tbe idea is to form an organization including all lumbermen east of the Kootenay and extending as far ns Creston, This organization will provide for lire wardens at their own expense, who will be placed in the field for the purpose of doing active work and prevent the disastrous destruction of timber that has occurred during tbe summer months for vcars past. The lumbermen are showing the proper .spirit in taking thc initiative in Ihis matter, and they are verv reasonable in their hope that tlie C.P.R, ami the provincial Government will assist them in their efforts to protect the timber limits of IhiS district. A. Leitch, of the Easl Kootenav Lumber company, and P. Lund, manager of the Crows Nest Pass Lumber eompanv. called on the Herald this mi-rning and wive n brief outline of the plans of the lumbermen to protect the timber limits in ihis section of the country. Those on tbe east side of the Kootenav river, who have interests west of the Kootenay river, will be asked to cooperate with this organization, while those west of the Kootenay who have' Interests east of the Kootenay river j will co-operate with tlie Fernie organization. This movement is a' most important one aud there is no dotlbt but that the C.P.K., which! have large timber interests in tbe ilistriet, and tlte provincial govern-! ment, will co-operate with the lumbermen in protecting the timber | limits during the time that timber | lires arc liable to occur. Tbe Herald this week is compelled lo reduce its size to six pages, owing to thc fact that a large shipment of paper from the cast has been delayed. The Herald regrets that it is unable to print the paper in its usual size, but in our many years of experience in the newspaper business we have always found it necessary to have paper to print a paper. Cianbrook -will have more new buildings erected this year thau any year in its history. The Hoard of Trade is erecting a sign ut tlie railway station ten feet wide and twenty feet loug, which will call the attention of the thousands of people who will pass through Cranbrook this summer, to the fact that this citv is the center of -the best agricultural and fruit lands in British Columbia. The Board of Trade is doing all in its power to advance the interests of Cranbrook aud the (lis* Iriit and is entitled to the support of every property owner and wage earner iu Cranbrook. They are shipping lobsters from Halifax to the Pacific coast. Lord, we were of thc opinion that they Imd enough lobsters there now. The wind storm last Tuesday put (he l'Ml!) ladies1 bat out of commission. There is a campaign on in Vancouver demanding pure milk. Such a campaign is a good thing in any community. Thc man that would sell impure milk is a criminal and Should receive the attention ot the authorities. Wc still persist that this is thc banana belt. It may have been a little chilly for a few days, but our banana crop never looked as well as this year. Help make Cranbrook more beautiful. When you are planting trees plant fruit trees and thus help demonstrate the fact that this is a fruit country. Paint is cheap. McCallum or MeBride will sell you all kinds ot it at low prices and if properly applied it will make an old bouse look like a new one. Gel tbat lawn started as soon as possible. A green lawn adds $200 to the value of any residence. BAND CONCERT On Monday evening when the City Hand gave its first recital to the very great pleasure ol the people, thc yard engine, .No. 2128, backed up and coughed and snorted its approval tor about- a quarter ol an hour. Orpheus with his lute made thc trees dance, but it stands as a marvelous compliment that a base, material, Arc-consuming, locomotive should chortle ber praises ol Mr. Corrlsoa's artists- even though her applause should spoil (Inr thc rest ol us) two ol the very best numbers. It were well it she had active business in the other end ol the yard in future when thc band is playing. Appreciation ol that kind is a trifle too strenuous when It spoils good music. And the music Is good, be it remembered. Heretofore it was a light tti a finish between thc performers and thc bare action ol accomplishment. And it was mostly a very bare accomplishment, eked out by blatant brasslness to hide the mistakes. Now the music has a meaning, and the players, one and nil, have grasped thc meaning and know how, by real art, to give the public a reading ol the meaning thai lies al the back ol the item In hand. Formerly it was all fortissimo. II you paint a house all red, you will liml it bard to paint It redder for contrast sake. Now we have the shades, every one ot them, irom the lightest pianlmisso to the crash that lifts one (airly oil one's leet. That music. Some one asked a great painter once upon a time, wilh what ne mixed his pigments. He answered, "With brains." That Is the ar- llcle that Mr. Corrison has induced our local musicians to tnli their music with. This is intended as a warm compliment, where a compliment is tairlv deserved and tairlv earned. Thc I braid means tt as such. The cornet solo by Waller Miller was n gem and was thoroughly enjoyed hv everyone. The selections Irom ''Pinafore" and "Southern Melodies" were among the best ol manv good numbers. 1 WHEN THE MAY FI.Y SWAHMS. Whilst lluck Taylor and Thomas Turlcy were away up the Skookum- chuck the Herald understands there was great excitement, when the two worthies attempted to cross a log nn thc creek, in which they were fishing. Thomas Turlcy dc- lorrcd to "Duck" Taylor's age to lead the van, and "Buck," who was nol shod with spiked hoots declined tin- honor and thought that youth should he served; between the two nf them it finally came to a climax in whltih each decided to go his own wav, i-e., "Burk" tried to find a lord ami Thomas E. find stepping stones; ennsei|iienlly they both got their leet wet. although "Burk" declares his lumbago Is gone and Tommr caught a cold.

The ladies ol tlic Presbyterian church gave a very succcsstul and exceedingly enjoyable concert in the church on Kriday evening last, April 30th. The programme consisted ol snugs and Instrumental pieces. The reputation ol Mr. tire/, us a player is well established thruughout the district, but this concert introduced lo tlie public a new performer on the mandolin, Mr. .1. Larson, jr. It was also the means of introducing a new "slur singer," Miss Kelly, whose voice is a sweet and most pleasing one. Her songs, "Queen ol the Earth," and "Come Hack to Erin," wen: received with delighted applause by the audience. Mrs. Cham- ings scored a distinct triumph in ber snugs, "Whisper and I Shall Hear," anil "Sing Mc to Sleep." This was also the lirst. appearance ol the Messrs. (inggs brothers in Fort Steele on a concert platlorm, but their singing was such as to receive u hearty encore, and the public will be glad' In welcome them again and again. The singing nl the Sunday School children, so well and carefully trained bv Mrs. Chamings and Mrs. Jennings, was a most deeided pleasure lo the very discriminating audience. The object nl tbe concert- In pay lur certain repairs to the church, was completely successful. A hearty vote nl thanks tn all who took pari in the entertainment closed une nl lbe pleusantest evenings enjnvcil in a long while by our quiet liltle town. GRAND MASTER TO VISIT. W K.

Burns A: Co. is so lur advanced that a representative ul lbe Herald was able lo go through the building and have eaeh part ol il explained lo Mm. The structure is ol double brick, wiib au air spaee, '13x10 fi-i-l in size, assuring insulation. There are two cold sntage chambers, each 10x20 leet in size. For the purpose nl making Ihem heat resisting, they will lie lined witli two thicknesses ul insiil- uting paper, then two thicknesses ol Cabot paper, then two more thicknesses nl insulating paper and finally witb matched boarding. An ammonia engine will lurnish tbe cooling element. This will be located in a property designed engine room. There is a saiisage kitchen 23x12 in size in which will be installed the latest maohlnory. An egg storeroom, about Hi leet square will also bo a feature uf the building. The colli ainnnia pipes will extend Into lhe butcher shop so thai all meats will he kept al the proper temperature at nil times. The building is practically fireproof, witli flroprool doors and a roof which, bv its construction, may be flooded at any time. The work has been under the direction id K. Woodyard; nl Fernie, and to his credit, he It- sulci, that he has as lar as possible pniplcived loeal labor throughout the construction. TH B offer to give the people the benefit of our necessities, as the stock must be reduced before the Ladies' Department is moved to new quarters, has been eagerly accepted, as the low prices have proven very attractive. But more goods must be sold, as it is better to sell at reduced prices than move the stock. This applies to everything in our big store, and prices have been slashed in every department. Mr. Hill will return within a week to superintend the removal of the Dry Goods and Dress Goods, and the stock must be greatly reduced before that time. Mr. Hill has so ordered, and says that we are to CUT PRICES STILL LOWER, so that the goods may be sold. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE for the big line of bargains in Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Clothing, Shoes. In fact, Everything in the Store HILL & COMPANY JSS5 McCallum & Co. have had charge ol the plumbing ol the building. There is not a better rclrigcrator plant in the Interior ol British Columbia and il will be a credit to P. Burns and Company and Cranbrook. 1 AN OLD-TIMER DROPS IN.

It is to be regretted tbat a lull house did not greet this company, as it was one ol the best musical' aggregations that ever held thc boards at the Auditorium, but those who were present thoroughly enjoyed the performance presented. Thc bell ringing and the other numbers were well received and it is the opinion generally expressed that the Eckardts are the best balanced musical company Ihat has visited Cranbrook. The eompanv is en route to Seattle, where they play a three months engagement at the big exposition. 1 COLEMAN BOARD OF TRADE GETS BUSY.

Tbe Herald is In sympathy with anything that would Increase the mail facilities ol thc district: Coleman, Alta., April 22nd, moo. To the Right Hon. Adolphus Lemieux Postmaster General, Ottawa, Ottawa, Ont: Dear Sir: Owing to the growth and development ol all lines nl trade in Coleman, and the consequent Increase of correspondence in connection witli the sume, ll would be in the interest ol the people to establish an adcli- tlnnal mall service. Such service to be carried mi what is now known as lhe loeal train, due at about 11.55 a.m. going east and at about 0 p.m. going welt. If there were such an extra mall service It would facilitate thc receiving and despatching ot the mail, say ahout twelve hours earlier than is now thc case, in business matters this saving ot time ls very important. The train service Is an established tact, and there is only the additional arrangment in dftail for carrying the mail. Be it therelore resolved that, The Coleman Board ot Trade, reaped fully petition the Postmaster General to establish this additional mail service at the earliest possible moment, and as In duty hound your petitioners will ever pray.

The hardest wound to heal is the ono inflicted by a friend. This world is a bad world only Inr those who have bad hearts. We never realize how much wc are capable oi dninR until tbe test comes. The love that never speaks until it docs it on a grave stone, keeps si ill tun Icing. A (good i uic Inr your happiness is o add tu yntir sum ul contentment, iililiact Irom yuur aliiuunt ut de- lies, multiply yuur quality ul religion, and divide yuur percentage by :>ve. Unkind words du as much harm as unkind deeds, many a heart bas been wounded beyond ' cure hy words; manv a reputation has been stabbed tu death hy a lew little words. They have separated lamilies, parted husbands and wives, and broken the ties het'.Veen the dearest Iriends. Thc way tu get the best there is iu pcuple, is lu give them your best. Don't expect cithers to be sweet and polite, and thoughtful, so long as you Adhere tu the selfish principle that people must "take you as they lind yuu." When vuur Iriends begin to grow careless and disrespectful, stop and think whether you are not get- ling back a reflection ol yourself. While we do not believe in woman with a capital W, we also do not believe in man with a capital M. In all things that pertain to home- keeping the woman should stand supreme. Thus was she ordained by nature. In all things pertaining to home-supporting the man should stand supreme, lor thus was he ordained by nature. Storms and clouds and rain arc essential, but when they pass away the bloom ol flowers seem more beautiful, and thc song ol birds more sweet. "Into each Iile rain in [all, some days must be dark and drcarv." Ood in His wisdom designed that there should he night as well as day, that there should be shadows as well as sunlight. I' you ever listen tn the song nl the lark as came the rainbow inlaid with crimson and with gold? And then did von not pause and think, as the soul'drank in the melody, as the eyes rested upon the over-banging beauty, that without the rain, storm and clouds that preceded, such a realization would never have swept into yuur lieing?

It is said of a little bird that will never learn lo sing tbe song his master will have him sing while u is light in his cage. He learns a snatch ul every song he bears, but will nut learn a full separate melody nl Ins own. And the master covers tlic cage unci makes il dark all about the bird, und then he listens and learns thc one song that is taught llm, until his heart is lull ot lt. Then, ever alter, he sings the song in the light. With many ol us it is as with tlic bird. Thc Master has a sung he wants to teach us, but we learn uuly a strain ol it, a note here and there, while wc catch up snstohe< uf the world's song and sing them with it. Then he comes and makes it dark about us, till we learn tbe sweet melody he would teach us. Many of the loveliest snngs ol peace and trust sung bv Hod's children is the world have been taught in the darkened chamber ol sorrow. WHAT WOMEN 1)0 INSTINCTIVE- LY, A man cannot do two things at a time. A woman will broil a steak and see that tbe eollec does not boll over, aud watch the cat that she does not steal tlte remnant of meat on tbe kitchen table, and dress the youngest buy and set lbe table, and see to tbe toast, and stir the oatmeal, and give tbe orders to the butcher, and she cun do it all at once and not hall try. Man has done wonders since be camo belore the public. He has navigated the ocean, he has penetrated the mysteries ol the starry heavens, he has harnessed the lightning ami made it pull street cars and light thc great cities ol the world. But he can't find a spool ol red thread in his wife's work basket; he can't discover iter pocket in a dress hanging in a closet; he can't hang out clothes and get them on the line the right side up; he cannot hold clottics- pins in his mouth while he is doing it, either; he cannot lie polite to sumcliody he bates; he cannot sit in a rocking chair without hanging the rockers Into the baseboards; he canned put the tidy on the sola pillow right side out; lie cannot sew on a button.

A distressing accident occurred at Waldo iu the Ross-Saskatoon Lumber company's planing mill un Monday last which resulted in the death ol a young man named Adolphu F. Gulbe. Au one saw the accident, hut it is surmised that the unfortunate young man, who was feeding a planer, endeavored to adjust some part of the machine while iu motion, and some part of his clothing caught in the swiftly revolving pulleys, pulling his body into the machinery. His body was horribly mutilated and death was instantaneous. The parents of the deeeased, who are said lo reside in Medicine Hat, have been communicated with, but as yet no reply has been received. Coroner Uleasdell went down on Tuesday and an inquest was held, the jury bringing in a verdict of accidental death. J. V.

Forestry in Western Canada (as everywhere else) means far more than the planting ot trees. The lirst step in forestry is the preservation ol forests already existing, and, as far as Canada—cast and west alike—is concerned, that means tlie Keeping out the tires. Something in this direction has already heen dune iu Canada, but much remains to be done. Forest fires in thc Rockies, their effects and means of preventing them are discussed hy Mr. 11. R. MacMil- lan. Assistant Inspector of Dominion Forest Reserves, iu the December issue ol the Canadian Forestry Journal. His article gives the result ot investigations made by him during the season of 1000 in tbe Crows Nest district of Southern Alberta, more accurately defined as the valley of the middle lurk ol the Old Man river, between tbe Livingstone Range and the western boundary of Alberta. Originally this whole region was heavily timbered, so thc reports ol explorers and other early visitors to the district say, with thc exception uf a small'area feiirhtcen square miles in extent), situated above timber line. "So numerous and so disastrous have heen the fires following in the wake ol travelers, settlers and railways," Mr. MacMillan writes, "that at present, ol the original 212 square miles of forest, only 'i'i square miles remain." Moreover, the timber which is easiest to get at is alwavs the first destroyed, and what is left is situated at high levels and In other places where it is hard to get at. Not only has the timber originally on the land been destroyed, but in some eases all possibitHv nf producing, without going to an enormous expense for artificial nlantlne, more limber (ur anvthlng else) on the land has been taken away. In this Crows Nest valley alone there are, uut of the 212 square miles of its total urea, tia .square miles of such laud. Originally covered by a heavy forest uf Iir, it is now but'a "puur, gravelly prairie, unfit for agricultural and of very little use for grazing." Que lire aluue dues nut usually have this effect, but "a second or third fire rarely fails tu kill all the forest reproduction" {i.e., the little trees) "lo destroy the remaining seed trees, lo burn oil the upper layer of soil, and leave a desolate waste," such as the country just spoken of. Ou portions of this urea nature has made a good start toward creating a new forest. Sixty square miles of the area are covered by a dense growth of young trees, the laud si covered lying iou high on the hillsides and being too ruugh, stony and gravelly to he lit for agriculture or valuable Ior grazing. All that this area requires In order that it may again ho covered with dense lorcsts is protection from fire. Thus (ire protection is obviously the great need or the region, and the Department of thu Interior, through its Forest branch, is devising means to this end. So far, the measures used for the protection of forests from fire in Canada have consisted of the patrol of the forests by rangers, who constantly travel through the forest, keep a lookout for fires (often discovering and extinguishing in their beginnings fires which, neglected, would burn over miles ot territory, fight fires and warn campers and travelers ngainst the careless use of fire. This patrol will, in all probability, form the basis of thc system of protection eventually put in operation, supplemented hv the use of "look-outs" and the telephone. FaiMSAWD liis Hand!
