"The Missouri Girl" The Mi*nnrf Olrl which .will be the offering at the Auditorium. Fri- dny, January 2nd, hag been on the road contlituoualy (or fifteen yearB and (or tho pant nix yeara two com panles have been presenting this ever popular play. It ban been seen in every Btate and territory in the Union, with poBsibly two exceptions, and last season one Company toured Canada, where tho play met with the samo remarkable reception that has characterized ltd tours of thc United States. The popularity ol the play is not limited to nny particular sec tlon. Whcreever it goes lt Is the same story, crowded houses and delighted audiences. Other plays thnt have been belore the public deteriorate and frequently managers foist inferior companies on the public with low-salaried ac- orB in the principal roles. Fred Kay mond has always kept bis companies up to the standard and that is probably the reason for hiB remarkable success with this sterling comedy. Year after year the companies visit the various cities fortunate enough to be on their routes and invariably tne companies nre equal to those of previous years and from time to time improvements are heing made that strengthen the organization. This season the vaudeville portion of the show has received Mr. Raymond's careful attention, and the country "birthday party" offers an opportunity for specialities that has been taken advantage of. Five first- class vaudeville numbers add great strength to the performance. Ormston-Leslie A very pretty wedding took place at the Christ Church at 3 p.m., Thursday afternoon, when the Rev. E. P. Flewelllng united in marriage Mr. CbarleB M. Ormston to MIbs Dorothy S. Leslie. Thc young couple will spend their honeymoon at the ranch ol the bride's father. The wedding presents were mnny and cost iy. Christmas at Cranbrook Special services wero held at the churches of nil denominations, and the few subjects for charity were all seen to, and nothing occurred during the day to mar the Christian spirit. Everybody entered into the festival spirit in a way that did full justice to the great event. The hotels wore crowded to overflowing, and the splendid dinners were fully appreciated, The dining rooms were handsomely decorated, and typical Christmas dishet. were served. The weather was fine, the ground had a slight covering of snow, the weather being warm enough to allow of short drives to thc nearest towns. Bull River Notes The Bull River public school held their annual Christmas tree and concert on Monday night, December 22, which was a great success. The pupils and tbeir teachers had prepared an excellent program which waB listened to with much pleasure by the audience. Much credit is due to our teacher Miss Holland for the eflecient way in which she trained the schol- ers. The trustees feel themselves c- lated in being able to secure the services of such an excellent teacher. Charity_ Ball The charity Ball given at the Auditorium on Thursday evening by "Bob" Nafe was a success bb far as numbers were concerned, but financially it was not, for the following reason. When the Cranbrook Orches tra promised to play for him on thin occasion someone overlooked the fact thnt the Cranbrook Dancing Club on the flame evening were giving a dnnce and as tiie Cranbrook Orchestra have a contract for their donees it left Dob in a very bad lix. No other orchestra was to bo had in tlio City that night, so not to bc defeated in hiH charitable intentions he went to the management of the Oranbrook Dancing Club and told them that if he would let their orchestra play at the Auditorium he would admit all members of the Club iree. Home lit) members of the Club ut tended the datice. Tho management of the Dancing Club are to ho commended on thoir Christmas spirit in giving way to the needs of charity. We nre informed that the Christmas Charity Bail will become an annual affair in Cranbrook, the matter is now being considered by responsible citizens, it has been decided however to bold this Ball two or three weeks prior to Christmas Day in order to have time to properly dispose ot the expected funds in a right man ner. The. dance at the Auditorium this year was not financially a success, owing to the large expense incurred, "Bob" Nafe being out of pocket to the extent of $10.00 in his charitable enterprise. Nevertheless Boh is to be congratulated on his venture. Result of Boxing Contest Dick Marshall of Blairmore, and Joe Uvanne of Great Kails, Mont., boxed fifteen rounds to a draw on Thursday afternoon at the Auditorium, Cranhrook. There was but little to choose between the two men, they were very evenly matched. Up to the fourth round thc men were even, in the fifth Marshall had a lit tie tho best of it; up to the last round it would have takeu an expert hi the business to decide which had the host of the go. Tn this last round there was Borne hard fighting both men being eager to obtain the decision, At the close Referee Ltnd- m.y decided that the bout was a draw the decision givint. satisfaction to nil friends and principals. Prior to tho main mill of the afternoon T. Mackey and Yodng Earnhardt, both of Cranhrook, fought 3 .rounds to a draw. Then followed W. Kay and Young Watson in a four round bout. The young men fought hard for a decision, it wgs a ding dong buttle from start to finish and ended iu a draw. Cam liindsioy refereed the battle and was very impartial In his decisions, his final decision in the main bout was received With applause. In Uvanne's corner was Young Streeter, Dad Stlnion, und Young Maxwell, a scrapper ..from Great Fall With Marshall wfts Chas. Lucca, tbe light weight ebmnpion who is to fight Frenchy Vaise at Rossland dur ing carnival week,, the old veteran Jim Burrows, and Young Kay. Promoter "Bob" Nafe introduced the principals and seconds to the audience. Bob Ib to be congratulated on the number and sdccesB of tbe various splendid contests that he has arranged for the Cranbrook Sports during the yar 1913. Hockey Hockey fans of Cranbrook witnessed with pleasure the hockey game played at the Arena Skating Rink on Monday evening The game was fast from start to finisB, many of the plays receiving the enthusiastic commendation of thc spectators. The result of the game was a tie, and a number of fast local players on the ice.

Council Meeting A special meeting of the City Conn eil wns held in the Council Chambers on Tuesday evening. Ther*: wore pre sent Mayor Bowness, and Aldermen Ward, Clapp, Leask, and Carr. On motion of Aldermen Clapp and Leask, permission was given to introduce By-law No. 133—carried. By-law No. 133 was then road, and on motion waB rend a first and second time. Council then resolved into a committee of the whole to consider said By-law. The committee reported thut they had considered the By-law clause by clause, and recommended its tnlrd reading.

M. Roberts bo appointed as returning officer withj power to appoint a poll clerk. On motion of Aldermen Ward and Leask the tlnuncial statement of tho City Clerk was accepted,' Council adjourned to meet again on Monday, December 29th, at 8 pm, New YeaTs Honors It Is believed nt Ottawa that there ia more than gossip to support tbe prediction tbat those upon whom the sunshine ol roynl favor wlll break on New Year's morning will Include R.W.Leonard, chairman ol the Transcontinental Railway com- mlsslon;H. I,. Drayton, the new chairman ol the Dominion railway commission! H. O, Vincent, the new president ol the llnnk of Montreal; David McNichol, Canadian Pacific rnilwny, and several members af the judiciary. MlnoS honors will, as dsual, be conferred on some prominent memberBol the civil service, and there is thp likelihood that Canadians prominent in art, education and literature will lie surely rocog- liod. The prime minister would he knighted if he would accept the hon or, but there is nothing to show thnt he would do so. Entertainment at Wycliffe The Club House gt Wycliffe, waa a scene of great festivity on Tuesday evening whon a Christmas tree and entertainment wns given to the children of that enterprtztng little burg; also a largrt number of farmers' children in the vicinity.

PORTSMOUTH, England, Dec. 21- A tire, causing damage variously oatlmated at trom $1,500,000 to $2,- 000,000, devastated the famous dockyard on Hnturdny night last and resulted lu the Iokh of two Uvea and the destruction ol the century-old semaphore tower, which, in the i>re- telegraph days, was the great sinual- ltng atation between' the fleet and the admiralty, An examlnatian of the ruins today disclosed the fact that two of the three slgnalmon who had romalned iu the tower to summon help when the tire broke out, wore burned to death. Tho third man managed to make his escape to an adjoining roof and there fell unconscious, He was Hubseqiu'iitly roacuod Nothing is known iih to how tbe tiro originated, it wan flrat observed from the deck Of tbe new battle cruiser Queen Mary, it had already obtained a good bold on the Inflam able material in the loft and nail houwe.

D. Gil- mour at the meeting of the Forestry Convention in that place. During the week however, we have received advice from Mr. Gilmore that the article na first sent out contained several mlatakea of an important character to the dlatrlct, a., » ■*■.•■ therefore aaked to make the necees ary corrections, which we gladly do. FIGURES ARK WRONG Victoria, Dec. 13.—Figures on the timber cut in the Cranbrook district were given by J. D. Gllmour at the forestry conference here yesterday, in the course of the paper on logging inspection in tho interior and ou scaling and chock scaling, He stated that the 1912 output of tbe Cranbrook district totalled 147,000,000 feet of aawn timber, including 500,000 ties. Tn addition tbere was a total Of 8,000,000 tiea yet In the woods aB well as 750,000 feet of telegraph and telephone poles 350,000 feet of piling, 18,000 cords of mine props nnd 7,500 cords of fence posts. The speaker Btated that only large logging operators used railways in their operations moat of tbe loggers depending upon teams. He spoke of the examination of scalers employed by tho mills nnd referred to tbe difficulties under which they often worked. Ab an instance of the class of scaling done ho mentioned that the check sculer was less than live per cent, a- way from the mill scalers in his total. "Scaling in the Interior," was dealt with by Superintendent of Sea lers Mouat of Nelson. He stated that thero were 108 mills in the interior, 34 of them being in the Nelson district, 35 in the Cranbrook district and 36 in the Kamloops and Vernon district. Some 151 candidates for scalera had been examined and 81 passed, 18 being held over and the remainder rejected. The future of the Hazel ton and Lii looet districts aB grazing sections was spoken warmly of by R. K. Allen and P. Lemare. Mr. Allen read a paper on the grazing possibilities of Hazelton in which he said that although the industry was only in its infancy there It would eventually play an important part in the stock raising development of the province, Mr. Lemare thought that sheep, cuttle and horses could be raised successfully in the Lillooet section although it would probably be necessary to raise hay for winter food for possibly two months of the year. CORRECTIONS TO THE ABOVE The report is for the current year 1913 and not 1912 The output is 147 million feet of saw-logs and sawn ties. In addition, one million tleB are hewn in the woods, and there is an output this year of 750,000 lineal ft. of telegraph and telephone poles, 350,000 lineal feet of piling, 1B.00O corda of mine timbers, and 7,500 cords of fence posts.
