APRIL 27th 1912 No: 17 Cranbrook-'The Star City of the Kootenays' Winning Slogan in Our Recent Contest In another part of this issue can be seen some of the other titles given to Cranbrook All are agreed that Cranbrook has a big future, and that it's influence will be felt in the Development of the District "Other Towns their Horns are Blowing, We have blown no horn — But Still We're Growing" Panama Canal and B. C. The Kootenays as a Pleasure Resort "The Panama Cnnal means more to British Columbia than any oth-;r part of tbe Pacific coast. "I tbink tbat tbe chain of lakes you have here in the Kootenay are destined to take the place of Switzerland with the American travelling public. You have all that they have in Switzerland, and you have it on n thousand times larger scale. "Your province is just being born— and it is being born very rapidly. Your resources of the interior are ho varied tbat it seems to me that you ought to bnve a section most surely destined to a perpetual prosperity." In these three statements W. H, Hatawny, a Ban Francisco financier, wbo in here in connection with some legal business, last nidi* expressed his opinion of British Columbia, which he has visited frequently during the past ten years and in which he has large interests. Mr. Hatha- wny, , is a member of the Flying Legion, nn organization of prominent business men in the Golden Gate City, which will this summer visit Hritisb Columbia, and is a leading memoer of the executive of the great World's fair which m ii'.' will mark Han Franciecoe's celebration of the opening of the Panama Canal. FIFTY MILLIONAIRES COMING The Flying Legion, for whose visit to this province this snmmer Mr. Hathaway hns heen making arrange roents at Victoria and Vancouver, ls made up of prominent business men from such bodies as the Chamber of Commerce, the City Council, The Manufacturers Association, nnd the "Producers association and the Worlds Fair association. The calibre of the men who make the excursions for which it wns organized may he guag- ed by the fact that .among the 138 who visited Seattle two years ago, 47 were millionaires. Special trains nnd special boats, luxuriously furnished, will convey the party to the const about the end of July. MEANS MUCH PUBLICITY With tho party will travel representative* of the . Associated Press nnd the Hearst News Service and a member or the San Francisco publicity staff, bo that the Impressions of the California magnates and denervations of the sections visited will he telegraphed to the press of the eonti nent dally during the trip. "The Flying Legion is making an effort to show the rest of the wost whnt San Frnnclsco in gonernl is do ing for the west," said Mr. Hatha way. "We helleve for instance, tbat the Panama canal will he for the benefit of the whole Paciyc coast nnd we are endeavoring to get the different sections together, to combine in a movement to boost not one city or district but tbe whole of the west. That is the spirit of the new San Francisco. Before the "quake we wore self centered and allowed tbe outsider tn visit us, but now we have awakened to the necessity for San Francisco getting out and visiting the other great cities ol the coast. We are working for one great cohesive effort tbat will carry the Pacific roast as a whole to a greater prosperity. We realize now it the success of British Columhla is to tbe advantage of California! the success of Xan couver means prosperity for San Francisco. "T have been instrumental in sending many people to your beautiful chain of lakes in Kootenay," continued Mr. Hathaway, "and they have all returned and thanked me. People who have been tired of travel, wearied (With the old routes, have come to Kootenay and on their return have sent their friends to Kootenay." SHORT COAST LINE SIGNIFICANT Refering to the Panama canal Mr. Hathaway declared that British Columbia was situated in n position which made the advantages to be gained by the canal unique. "It will place you right at the doors of Great Britian," ho said "Proportionately, British Columbia will benefit more than the American Pacific coast for the reason tbat we have 1,700 miles of coast tine dotted with cities while Canada has a much Bhorter coast and only two or three cities. Consequently the trade of tne Dominion will be concentrated and both the coast cities and the Interior must gain a great deal more, proportloo- ately, thnn will tbe coast and tho Interior south of the boundary. That the railways realize what the canal will mean is shown hy the millions they are spending on lines through tho province." The relatively small amount of Innd available for cultivation und the tremendous resources of the country make Kootenay ideal for agricultural pursuits, as a ready market will always he available and there will be no danger of overproduction, Mr. Hatawny believes.

Wheat Land on St. Mary's Prairie, Cranbrook District The sort of land that is making Cranbrook known from Cape Race to Victoria : CZ Orchard Inter-Crops Of Special Interest to the New Settler in the District The growing of crops between orchard trees until they reach productive nge is one of Importance not only to the Individual fruit grower, but to the economic stability of the fruit industry ns a whole. A few years ago, a lack of knowledge as to the successful marketing of these intercrops, such as small fruit nnd vegetables,, together with n wave of enthusiasm for absolutely clean cultivations of orchards, discouraged the practice. There hns recently been a change in both respects. A great Increase In the available market, nnd the discovery thnt carload production wns essential to success with main-crop vegetables, together with experimental proof that careful men could grow inter-crops with financial success nnd without injury to the trees, materially altered the situation. There are, however, certain requisites to success. The soil must ho deep, in good physical condition, fertile, nnd be possessed of adequate moisture. A soil In condition to support only the growth of the trees cannot carry both trees and intercrop without injury to the former. A first step Is to get the soil in proper condition by the use of cover crops or barnyard manure. The climate must also be suitable. Wealthy apples thrive nnd attain tbe best results in the district where tomatoes and corn can be grown successfully. Early vegetables are successful when they can be produced in time for their market. Some non-irrigated districts nre so dry in the summer time that mnny inter-crops requiring a large amount of moisture suffer or fail. These points all require local study. The third important requisite to success, and perhaps the most important, is tbe market. Co-operative marketing ls almost essential in getting u new district under way. Car loud production au mentioned above, Is often most desirable where a careful study of tbe entire situation, success is reasonably assured. There is usually u living to be made from tbe land while the trees are coming into bearing nge. Mnny crops which will bring good returns can bo grown between tbe rows of trees while they nre young, but It should always be remembered that tbo young trees are of tbe first importance, and upon their present health and vigor depends the future usefulness of the orchard. Inter-cropplng of young orchards is Strike at Cranbrook On Thursday morning 14° men em ployed on thn sewers went to tbelr work as usual nnd without notice of any kind refused to begin work say ing they were going on strike if the engineer would not pay thom $3.00 per day of 10 hours, or $2.7fi for n 9 hour day. Mr. T. 1). Bailey renion titrated with them without nny re. suit the men being determined to bold to their decision for more pay and less hours. The City was paying them at the rate of $2.50 per day of 10 hour day at present, and the men are saying that they expert and want what other corporations are paying for the same class of work and the same hours. As the mntter stands tbo mon did wrong in not presenting their grl.iv* .wees to the engineer, If tbey had any before quitting work. The mon are tip parently nt sea, for they hnve no head or responsible leader, though it Is reported that several nf tbem tire do Ing picketing work around town. We hope that n settlement will ■toon be arrived at because the how- nrage system Is greatly needed In town and Hovornl hotels and residences are desirous of being connected up right away. Tbe city engineer has posted up in •.he city offices a notice to the effect ihat work will be resumed on Monday morning at the usual lime, and ibe same scale $2.fifl per day,. If the men do not. rourn to work on Monday, we are Informed that tbe work will be closed down for several mouths, nnd when resumed, will have H force of between four or five hundred men, and have It completed he- lore winter sets In, Mr. N.

Mr, L, Penrson acted as floor manager. Overseas Club At a mooting of the members of the above mimed club, held on Tuesday tllght. It was decided tbat we accept tlio kind offer id the citizens sport. committee to hold our sports for the children In tbe Agricultural QroUlldfl on Kmplre Bay, As we desire to give the children a good time, the committee In charge of tbe sports hope that wo shall have the hearty support ol the generally discouraged for the* reason that the trees are likely to he neglected or misused and the soil depleted of plant food and moisture. It is by Injudicious cropping, however, that young orchards are oltan most seriously injured. Extra care should be taken to maintain the fertility of the soil by the application of manure aad fertilizers. The growing of light crops is a means of keeping the land stirred when it might otherwise be neglected, and if tbe grower is careful to sue that the physical condition of the laud is improved, and adds enough ot plant food to supply tho loss, the light cropping of orchards for the lirst few years may be a decided ben etit. The danger Is that tbe fruit grower might continue too long and expect too much from it. When the orchard comos Into bearing, give II the entire land. In orchards set less than twenty five feet apart the land should rarely ho cropped more than three years, but apple orchards set thirty feet oi more, may ho lightly cropped four or live years if extra good care is taken In irrigated sections there is a ten dency to over-irrigate if there are inter-crops.

The good mun nt Quartz Gulch wasn't good because ho was unlurully Inclined thut way, but because he owned property ln thu Gulch tbnt be would like to mnko valuable, aud ho wns prevented from doing so by tlio reputation of the town. No ono would Invest money there, no one would oven come there to Investigate. Pelo Wllklns, this so cnlled good mnn cf Quartz Gulch, snt down one day for a job of thinking with n view to Hading some way to better tlio morals of his fellow citizens. He considered the feasibility of shutting off their liquor supply, or corruliug nil the weapons In the settlement under lock and key, of Inducing an evangelist to come among them nnd impregnate them wltb religious principles, lt didn't seem to Mr. Wllklns tbat nny of those plans were feasible. At Inst Wllklns got down to the fountain bead of ull rcbueuient—womnn. lf ho could only get somo respectable women ln the camp he believed tbey would net as a palliatlvo upon the men and eventually bring about n better state of morals. The first difficulty was to find the women, the second to get tbem to tbe Gulch and the third to keep them tbcro long enough lo penetrate the outsido coating ot villainy and got a hold on the men's better nature. He didn't mind tbo disappointment the women would experience in expecting lo secure husbands and boincs, but bo didn't llko to be pnt In for a failure. It occurred to lilm to Interest the men In bis project. There would be no difficulty ln securing their approval of bringing In tbo women. The trouble would be to induce tbem to behave lu such a fashion ns to Induce tbeir more delicate partners to remain. He called a meeting of the citizens and thus ad- dressed them: "Psrds, I been Ihluklu' o' some wny ' o' gltlln' the belter o' tbem galoots down on tbo Ant, nnd I think I've hit the nail square on the head. I'm goln' lo send for a carload o' the best lookln' snd most respectablo women to be found In the oast to be scut out here to beautify tbe town." There was a yell ot approbation, and Ibe orator continued: "What wo want is decent home", ind you can't make a homo without a woman in It. All I'm afcurd of Is that If we induce good women to come In and start homes for us yen fellers 'II ■caro 'cm nwny." Cries of "Wo won't!" "Try us!" j "Bring 'em on and see!" A collection was taken lip, and a suf- ' He lent sum wus raised for the purpose. Tbe scheme was popular both becauso of the coming of tbo fair sex and lopping the inhabitants of Pine Plat. Peto Wllklns wns appointed a committee of ouo to cany out the project nnd nt onco opened up n correspondence with a society called tho Helping Hand In tn eastern city, and arrangements for • lirst shipment of young women who uceded homes were made, lt theso reported favorably on tbelr reception and tha prospects before them nnetber shipment was lo follow. The probability Is that all would bave worked well bad It net beeu thnt certain citizens of tbe town were so puftVd up with pride at their prospective out- I doing of Pino Flat that they must ueeds crow over Ihelr rivals before Ihelr chickens were batched. When It was learned by tbeso of tho Plat Hint Ibe Gulchers were going to have a cargo of women sent out from (ho enst (here was a feeling among the hitler Ibat something must be done. Various propositions were made to see this Innovation nnd go their rival oue belter, hut thoy were either Impracticable or absurd. Ono stupid churl suggested tout tbey send for a cargo of monkeys: mother Hint a number of wax Ugittes In Ihe show windows of illy stores be bought up nnd placed In tho windows of Hie stimuli's, suggesting tho presence of 11 housekeeper. Ono suggestion wns received wllh a howl of delight.

Uood Ronda Moved by the same high public spirit anil the single pur pose of bringing the roads of Canada up to a stand- ard that will be a credit to the nation, and an example to the World at large. Hia Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught, and W, J. Kerr, hold the two highest positions in the yift of the Canadian Highway Association, that of patron and president respectively. The Canadian Highway will be an accomplished fact within the next tew years, and the outside world will then know that in this broad Dominion there is a road more than 3,000 miles long over which an automobile can travel from coast to coast in safety and with comfort. The country that offers the wealthy tourist the splendid opportunities of investment, will reap a large harvest from its visitors. This association was formed in New Westminster, B. C., last November, and it was at thia meeting that Mr. Kerr, a wealthy resident of the coast and the principal mover in the convention that resulted in the formation of the association, was elected president. Some time later the Governor-General of Canada, whose activity in the cause of good roads is well known to those interested in this work, was approached and requested to permit his name to be used as that of Patron, the following resolution being forwarded to him nfter a meeting of the executive of the association: Moved by President W. J. Kerr, Seconded by Vice President A. E. Toad, "His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, Governor-General of Canada, having in many ways shown his interest in good roads, and more particularly by his speech from the throne at the last formal opening of parliament, lie tt therefore, "Resolved that tho secretary extend to His Royal Highness the thanks of the officers of the Cana dian Highway Association for lending his influence to the cause of roads im provement, and further, "Resolved, that the secretary respectfully informs His Royal High- nest that it is the earnest desire of the members of the association that Eilfl Royal Highness should consent to become the Patron of the Canadian Highway Association. The following reply was received a few days ago by P. W. Luce, secretary of the Association. GOVHRNMHNT HOUSH, OTTAWA. Dear Hir, I am desired by the Governor- General to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, and to inform you in reply that His Royal Highness will be pleased to become Patron of the Canadian Highway Association as requested by your executive committee, and wishes your association every success. I um, Yours faithfully, Arthur F. Bladen, Private Secretary, The Duke of Connaught has long heen interested in good roads nnd hns shown it in many ways that he is strongly in sympathy with any movement that will tend to better the transportation facilities of this or any other country. Travelled man as he is, and trained fn observation of things that make for the public weal His Royal Highness has put to practical use the knowledge gained in Canada, Rngland, on the Continent, and in foreign countries, and he ne- lleves he has acted wisely in allowing his name to became associated with the enterprise fathered by the Canadian Highway Association. "Good roads are a social and economic necessity, and good roads we will have all over Canada before I am ready to acknoeledge tbnt the work of tbe Canadian Highway Association is ilnishod" says President W.

Htar: With all the safeguards against disaster, the wireless, the multiple water-tight compart men ts the special apparatus for determining water temperatures and detecting the proximity or icebergs, the sea has taken toll again of human life in appalling measure. The loss of the Titanic in a stunning din aster, scarcely to be credited in its magnitude. DRMOCRACY OP HUMANITY VINDICATED. Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Appalling is the material loss is, the vital tragi* dy dwarfs it. The few saved to the credit of our race, appear mostly to be women and children. The men stood by until such of the women and children as could he bad been put on the path of preservation. Then and not till then tbe men thought of themselves. And wc may well believe that the democracy of humanity In our sex was then vindicated. THK LEVELING CATASTROPHE, Milwaukee Leader: In the appal Ing disaster which has overtaken the j Titanic, on the roll-call of the dead] are found the names of many dlatln-! guishod and wealthy men. When the' timo came to launch the lifeboats the law of the sea domamled that they should stand aside that the; weakest—the women and children— I should be given preference. The man j with $1ihi.iiiiij,iihii. without any change of human nature having taken place was compelled by this law to remain aboard the sinking ship, while Ins wife's maid was (dmed nhonrd a life-' boat, Wealth, position, power -none of these availed In tbe presence of the leveling catastrophe and the unwritten law of the s«*a.

Captain Smith, her commander, made the statement with the most posltlvenosfl not long igo that this ship if suddenly cut in twain in udd ocean would still float.

Age of the Earth Professor Frank Allen, of Manitoba Unlvorslty, stated in a lecture on "The Age of the Earth," in Winnipeg that radium had upset alt lho theories on this subject. "Lord Kelvin," said he, "who computed that the earth wiu 20,000,000 years old, declared that unless some now way of producing heat in the earth's surface could be fouul his calculations were correct." "Such a new way has actually been discovered in radium which has tht* power of giving out heat without diminishing in weight. One pound of radium would keep a house worm for 2,000 years. Radium is scattered throughout tho earth's surface, and, therefore, Lord Kelvin's calculations aio worthless." "Radium gives off helium, aud helium la scattered throughout tho earth's crusl," added Professor Allen. The amount of helium given off by nn .actual piece of rock could easily be I measured, By comparing tho amount of radium and of helium lu a piece ol rook it would be possible to form an estimate of tho earth's ago, and If Una were done it would be round that tho earth was over 1,600,000,000 vcars old. FOR NAVAL SUPREMACY Huge Sums the Great Powers Are Spending For Battleships. At present the great powers arc in favor of naval construction and preparation, As Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, said in a speech nt QtaSgOWl ".Altogether there Is no doubt Vhal- ever that, the nations of Europe are at tho present time pressing forward and pressing each other fur- ward into an avenno of almost indefinite naval expansion and expense" Mr. Churchill need not have limited his observation to Europe, for Japan Is roported to havo arranged lu comprehensive programme for Increasing her licet an*i other nations, Including some of tho South American Republics, are planning for heavy in croasos in their armaments afloat, As far as Europe Is concerned all this vast expenditure Of money and energy ls based mi foar thai n great conflict is nl hand, JflnglamVa four [ties in the direction nt Germany. Gorman apprehension N lioin of ihe Morocco trouble of lasl yenr and applies to both England and Ernnco. I Japan finds cause for lilssallsl'ac- [tlon ami worry in the knowledge that her alliance wiih England Us not lo apply whenever a nation wilh which England has an arbitration treaty Incurs Japanoso enmity. Further ground I'm- Japanese fears is found hi ihe virtual co-partnership oxlstlng botween Buglund and RubsIo and ihe disposition of England to glvo Itussln 'a pretty tree baud in Centra! Asia and tho I'm' Kast. j Itnssla wants Italy lo take means to nnl ilie war with Turkey on ue- 'count ol' tbe ngltntlon it has caused hi the Ualkans. The control of the t Mediterranean Is threatened, accord- lug to one widely accepted view, aud Austria and Italy are worried- j Twenty-five or thirty years ago Iho only real navy in the world was England's, When naval construction became a passion with otber greal powers England kept ahead of them .under her consistent policy of inning ber construction equal to that of her two closest competitors in tlic increase of fleets. Some of these other powers, notably Germany, have made rapid strides toward perfection of sea strength, and England lias been concerned, Lately, with the oos* of government angmeut.- ed to an alarming degree, England has found lho burden of armaments a ibit too heavy for comfort, and there has been a disposition lo believe in 'many quarters that if ihe thing could be done In a proper way It was time (to call a halt. j Recent events have indicated that Englnnd will welcome some arrangement among ibe powers for a limita- |lion of naval annanie:.;s. But that he will go to any extreme of expend! lure to outbuild Germany or any other nation unless the present fever of construction is reduced to normal was made plain in Mr, Churchill's Glasgow speech. Germany's original programme for the Immediate future contemplated the constructed of eighteen Dreadnoughts and a large number of smaller vessels lu six years. This, it is now understood, has been modified to provide for the contructlou of fifteen Dreadnoughts, She has nine Dreaednoughts ready, five launched and seven on the slays, and to this total of twenty-one must be added the fifteen or eighteen to ho constructed, malting thirty-six or thirty nine that will be comprised in the ilect along about 1920. Great Britain has sixteen Dreadnoughts in commission, with eight launched and six in the earlier stages of construction. The futuro programme, including this year's construction, hns not been announced, and its scope will depend on what other nations, nnd particularly Germany, intend to do. To the thirty British Dreadnoughts built or building must be added two that are nominally colonial, The United States has six Dreadnoughts, with two more launched, four under way and two additions to be laid down If ihe usual ratio of Increase is continued by Congress this year, making a total of ten. Russia has no Dreadnoughts In commission, but four have been lauuehed, three are under way and it Is reported that four more are to be authorized in 1012. Japan has two ready, with two more lauuehed nnd five under way. AN EXCELLENT MEDICINE FOR ALL LITTLE ONES Mra.
