Tbe city clerk was called Upon to rend the minutes nf the previous meetings which were held on tho 13th and 2<)th respectively; ou motion of Aldermen Hickenbothuni and Horie tbey were adopted, Dr. Rutledge presented his report of inspection of dairies and tests of milk supplied lu the city. Aldermen Campbell and Horie moved they Le received—carried, Mr. Ira R, Manning presented a petition from tbe Retail Merchants' Assoeintion witb regard to the employment of labor on the new waterworks system. On motion of Aid *r- men Oampbel nnd Gcnost the petiti m was ordered to be laid on the table. Mr. Ci. Thompson brought to tho attention of the city fathers the (act that there are possibilities in respect to beautifying the city with botlU- vnrds. It would improve tbe appearance of the city considerably and prove an additional vnlue to property. Mr. Thompson went on to say that lt was absolutely impossible for any ratepayer or householder to try to beautify their gardens while the weeds were allowed to grow on the streets. Mr. Thompson nlso made mention of the fact that tha pound Bylaw was not sufficiently enforced and suggested that It he more rigidly attended to in the future. Another matter lie wished to bring to the attention of the council wns that It was impossible at the present time to obtain a grade for Lhe strA't, making it impossible for anyone to work correctly in making their boulevard or in case of i poison wanting to build, tbe fact that a grade was not obtainable might load the city officials into trouble and serious trouble nt tb;it. This opinion he did not offer as a legal opill ion but what might possible tako place. It was moved by Aldermen Leask and Horie that the matter be referred to the legislative committee—carried. A letter was read from H. A. McKowan on behalf of Dr. Miles rn.|,uest- Ing that the city wnter he extended to lots 19-20 block 309. A deputation representing the Loyal Orange Lodge was present.

Cranbrook Wins From Fernie The Cranhrook lacrosse team journeyed to Fernie on Wednesday evening tn play a return game with the local team. It wns the third game of a series that have all heen won by Oranbrook, Tho name was fast and clean, tlta Crnnbrook boys playing rings around tho Fernie hoys. The score was 7 to 4 in favor of Cranbrook. During the game Wm. Mathews was struck accldently over tbe left eye, the strings of the lacrosse stick cutting tho hall of his eye. The Injury while not serious was painful. It Is said that Cranbrook will have a lacrosse team at Nelson during Chahko Mika celebration; Passing of the Late Mr. Eyton Last week we were only able to give a brief notice of the death of E. Etemla-Eyton, who for the past two years had heen a member of the Civil Service In tlu.1 Cranbrook Government Agency, and-was slated for the position of deputy assessor aud collector and mining recorder. He died on tbe 4th inst. after a gallant struggle lasting over six weeks, but his sickness was one that allows of no cure and be succumbed to its effects only when It wat impossible to continue. The funeral took place on the 10th Inst, from the Church of England, the vicar, Rev. E. P. Flewelllng, conducting the service, being assisted by the Rev. H. Tupper, precentor of Worcester (.athedral, England..* The beautiful service was reverently followed by a large number and the solemnity of tbe occasion accentuated by the dignity of Its rendition. There were many beautiful wreaths aud llowers, showing the estimation in which the deceased was held by his mnny friends. Brought Up us be was in environments entirely different from what prevails here, Mr. Eyton adapted himself admirably to the measure of this country, and although the cnuse of bis coining to Cnnada was n great misfortune tbnt would hnve wrecked many men's lives, he never complained, but did bis work thoroughly and conscientiously nml on account of his courtesy and good temper nnd the interest be look iu his work, wns well liked hy all with whom he came in coiit.net, and there ts ni doubt but that he would have vvoitted his way well mi to the top of tbe service if death had not stopped in ami cut short a bright career, The sympnthy of his circle of friends and in fact of all goes out to his widow, who so devotedly attended hliu dny and night since tit.1 commencement of his illness and who hns shown a dignity and a fortitude in sorrow lhat tins been an inspiration.

S. E. Kootenay Oil Special Article to " The Prospector " Iu Southeast Kootenny you will lind a large number of old time prospectors who have faith in the oil- bearing district of the Flathead vnlley. It was in 1885 that a number of prospectors, headed by Frank Mc- Cabe, crossed the RockieB from Alberta and went into the Flathead valley and located the tirst oil claims. The story of these early day prospectors follows: Having found samples of oil in the camps of the Stony Indians, who used this oil for medicinal purposes, they inquired where it waB found. On ascertaining that it was across the mountain in the Flathead, a prospecting party was made up, who, following the old Kootenay trail, crossed the mountains entering the valley from the east. They found the oil seepages and made some eight or ten locations, but owing to the wildness of the country, the difficulties presented and the utter lack of transportation facilities nothing was done except to announce the fact that oil seepag s had been found and that the oil was of a superior quality. It was in 1891, that tbe late Br. Selwyn, then director of the geological survey, visited the district with Mr. William F*rnie, who was the discoverer of the famous coal ureas of the Crow's Nest Pass. Mr. Dawson also made a detailed examination of the geology of the mountains, valleys and creeks in 188"» and reported on the oil seepnges of Kishenehna creek, and this report was confirmed by Dr. Selwyn who telle of tlndlng seepages ou Sage creek. He tells of collecting samples of crude oil from seepages through the sand and gravel in thc bed of a stream live miles east, of tlqv summit. In tbe Flathead valley he speaks of oil on Kishenehna creek; on the edge of a beaver dam pool there were ledges of hard, dark-blue shale. Lifting tbe layers of this at and below the water, a quantity of dark-green, circular patches of oil rose to the surface, and a precisely similar result followed by stirring up the mud in the bottom of the pool. GEOLOGY OF OIL-BEARING DISTRICT. Sage and Kishenehna creeks are the only two creeks or streams upon which oil has been reported as actually found. These two creeks are parallel and cloBely adjoining, being only separated in tbeir upper reaches by a spur on the main range. The seepage of oil occurs on both creeks just where the mountains give way to the ancient wide valley of the Flathead, and lt is quite certain that the geological formation are the same in both .these creeks. ThiB fact is immediately visible to the eye from the upper benches of the river valley, from whence the view obtained of the strata exposed on the ends of the mountain runges shows them to hav-3 beea continuous. The valleys of these two creeks have been cut hy erosion, there being no evidence in the lower portions of these vnlleys of any faults, folds or anything more than a slight bending of the beds. About three mileB above the oil on Sage creek there is evidence of what appears to bc a fault crossing the creek and affecting the strata; the mountains here are sheer nnd bare, enabling the formation to be seen, while on Kishenehna creek the hills are not steep and are covered with slide material, obscuring the view of the various strata except upon the peaks; but the same fault probably also extends across the valley- „ The so-called "nig Oil Spring" on Snge creek occurs some 12 mileB up from the mouth of the creek and about a mile above when the stream leaves the mountains and enters the flat depression of the Flathead valley. The spring is found in the brush about a quarter of a mile from the trail, at the base of the mountains to tbe north of the vnlley, and near ti small lake aud marsh,'.which lie at an elevation of some 200 [eet above Lhe stream and 4,400 feet above sea level. The ground to the north of tbis lake is marshy and full of springs of water which go to form the lake. About. 100 yards from the base of the mountain, ou a knoll higher thnn its Immediate surroundings, there Ib issuing a good-sized spring of water, and beside this spring were found several poolB covered with thick, dark-green oil. The (dl being lighter than the water accumulated nearest the highest point, tbe water tlowing ofl below. Tbe oil had accumulated here in several .poolB which covered an area of some 50 feet diameter. As the oil spreads itself out over the face of the water, all these pools have tbe nppearance of being entirely oil. Tn nppearance it is lighter thnn the crude oil of Pennsylvania, probably containing less tnrry matter and being richer in the more volatile constituents. The following are the results of an exam ination of these oils: 1. From tubing of bore-hole in Alberta, 5 miles east of .summit— Specific gravity 879; degreeB beaume, 38; remarks, dark-colored, heavy oil, commenceB to distill over at 90 degrees. 2. From seepage at same point- Specific gravity, 879; degrees ban mo, 30. 3. Prom "Big Oil Spring" on Sage creek in Flathead—Specifie gravity, 828; degreeB baume, 40; remarks, dark-green oil, commenced to distill off at 90 degrees, 90 per cent, of oil distilled off below 200 degreeB, leaving 10 per cent of thick, dark oil containing tar, which latter Ib estimated 5 per cent. 4. From bed of Sage creek, near above (LecMe Bpring)—Specific gravity, 818; degrees heaume, 42; remarks, light amber-colored oil, commenced to distill off at 90 degrees, 97.5 per cent, of oil distilled ofl at below 185 degrees, leaving 2.5 per cent, dark, heavy oil containing some tar. It will be noted that of these samples 3 and 4 are of exceptionally low j Bpecific gravity, and that sample 4 .conaistB almost entirely of the lighter constituents of petroleum, very similar to tbe oil now being obtained from the famous Dingman well nt Calgary. The oil rises through a black marsh earth, and it is difficult to tell how much of Its color it owes to this source. ThiB spring can only be described as an oil seepage, the quantity of oil therefrom is small, but there is every Indication of quantity at depth. The pla*j at which the oil iB found is at the top of an anticlinal in the formation, that is to say, at tho highest point in the bedding of the rocks, the axis of the anticlinal crossing down the creek in a northwesterly direction. From tbis point the beds dip up the creek to the northeast and also down the creek to the southwest. The beds can be traced dipping to the northeast for about three miles, at first at a very flat angle, but gradually increasing until the dip reaches about 35. At this point a fault occurs with, to the east a different dip to the rocks, while further up the creek this is followed by other faults; hence it may be said that the entire valley, twelve miles north, witb a width of several mites is the possible field of accumulation. (Comtlnued (rom Page One) Through Two Disasters London, June 10—Wild scenes were witnessed at the Exchange station nt Liverpool yesterday on the arrival of the survivors of the crew of the Empress of Ireland, who had been brought home on the Corsicnn. The station had ho?n packed by a dense crowd for several hourB, nnd when the train steamed in from Glasgow at 7 ojclock there was a rush to the carriage doors. The police and railway officials attempted to hold back th-.' crowd, but were powerless. Among the Liverpool survivors who reached home last night was William Clark, who has had the terrible experience of passing through two of the greatest sea tragedies known. He was fireman on the Titanic, and filled the anme duty on the Empress of Ireland. His first thought when they were struck went hack to those terrible scenes on the Titanic, It was his first voyage on the Empress of Ireland, and of course ou the Titanic, which was on her mnlden trip. He added "there is a sort of superstition among sailors, nnd I believe It applies ou land as well tbat the third time ls fatal, but thut does not worry me. I nm going bnck to Liverpool to lind n job ou anothor steamer."

May Be Second Balkan War London, June 11.—Another war between Greece and Turkey is foreshad- oweil today by the TimeB, which nays tlic unrest in the Balkane lias become acute. Several ot the states, it says, have recently been employed in clearing their newly acquired territories ol "undesirable" elements and the Bulgarians have heen thli principal sufferers. The unrest is attributed by the newspaper to the drastic policy ol the Young Turks in expelling all Greeks Irom Asia Minor and i Turkish Thrace. It believes the policy is a prelude to a declaration of war upon Greece, the main object being the reconquest hy Turkey of Saloniki and the re-occupation ol Macedonia.

British North America Act Ottawa, June 11—Adoption of an addresB to the Imperial parliament asking for an amendment to the British North America act giving increased reprcsentntion in the senate to the west and n discussion during which measures of reform of the upper chamber were advocated formed the principal business at the early session of th* house of commons today. I'remier Borden moved nn address to the imperial parliament asking for an amendment to the claiiBe* of the British North America act relating to the appointment of senators. The effect of the address is to ask for an increase in the number of senators to 96. This will provide for a group of 24 for the four western provinces and make four groups In all. Quebec, Ontario, the maritime provinces and the west. The address asks the imperial parliament to provide that in the event of .N'ewfound- nnd entering confederation the representation in the senate would he increased to 102. In this connection Mr. Borden stated tbat any movement looking to the inclusion of Newfoundland would have to come from the island colony. Another feature of the address is the request that a provision W? put in the British North America act tbat the representation of a province n the commons shall never he less than its representation in tbe upper use. This would mean that Prince Kdward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick together would nKer he represented hy less than 24 members. Sir Wilfrid Laurier aaid that both sides were agreed that parliament bad absolute power to increase the representation of Alberta and Sas- katctinwnti. Ah for Manitoba lie did nut think the same power existed. Hi! was quite in favor of the creation nf a fourth group id prov I noon based Upon the principle of the federal art. The mosl Important clauso in Ihe resolutions wns that which provided ihe Bonato ro presentation >>t nt* one provinco should oxecod lis ropreson* lnt inn jn tint commons, Thin, tie thought wus n departure from the prlnolplo laid down ut confederation and Which had been strictly adhered iu ever since He was nol disposed, llOWOVVi to Insist Upon this principle being observed as he did not (think It wuuld work I neon ven Ion co to the oth er members of confederation. Woman Suffrage The following essay was written hy one of the Cranbrook High School children. One of the most important observation to be made is tbnt the subject was written entirely ex tempo, the boy having had no previous idea of what the subject was of which he was expected to write: The Woman Suffrage Movement Is one of the greatest of modern times. It is essentially a modern movement and one brought about and made possible only by modern civilization which enables a woman to do a man's work in some cases better thnn be can do begun to question the right of tbe half to govern the whole and to demand for themselves equal rights. It is only in tbe last six or seven yearB that the movement has begun to assume formidable proportions. Before that it consisted solely of a few scattered bands of women whom most poople regarded as cranks and fanatics. Slncft then it hns swelled until in almost every country on the globe there is a body of women lighting for the vote. The movement had Its origin in Kngland and is Btill stronger there than anywhere else although it has met with far more success in other countries. Women base their claim to the vote on these facts: 1. About half of the women in the world an.- wageworkera or are in business. These have absolutely no representation in the affairs of the country although they are quite as intelligent aud capable as their fellow workers of the opposite sex. 2. The most of the remaining women are married and performing at home quite as much work as do their husbands in the otlice or factory, yet they have no power to make laws about tUe education of the children whom they raise, nor have they any power in the control of liquor or vice in their district. The first of these arguments seems fairly plausible. Undoubtedly, any woman who is earning her daily bread is quite as much qualified to vote as is any mau. In fact, in some casea beer-soaked individuals holding a job demanding little or no intelligence have the power of the ballot while business women, perhaps making as much as nny man in their own town, have no control over the administration. But on the other hand the larger part of these wage- earning women are of the lowest classes, in some cases foreigners and generally with very little education. These voters united with the lowest class of men voters would make a large body, large enough to control the country and yet of such low intelligence as to be easily swayed by any corrupt politicians nnd to havi no knowledge of the things tbey ave voting for. Again although a married woman is certainly qualified to vote on the problems concerning wo men and children Bhe could hardly be expected to have much knowledge of the business affairs on which she would be required to vote. However, no doubt if the ballot was granted she would make herself acquainted with these things. The attainment of the common object however bas been gone about very differently. About the worst example of how a movement of this kind may be forever blackened in the eyes of thinking people is furnished by the present situation in Kngland. The women there seem to hnve loBt all Bense of reason and run amutfe. Churches are burnt, great pictures slashed and houses of private individuals are destroyed by thepe fanatics. The fact that they are women, however, always earns pardon or at least lenient treatment for the offenders. Life in London at pres- ?nt is a reign of terror for owners of property and the public are already greatly Incensed and prejudiced against a good sensible movement. It is a pity these militants could not tnke a lesson from their neighbors across the ocean. ln America au altogether different method is used for the attainment of the same object. The English suf- frnfTtte hands the man in power a brick, the/American suflragotte bands him n rose, orderly parados, orderly demonstVations nnd rational do maiiils are the keynotes ol the Amer lean treatm-nl Of tbe situation and already tlio bulbil hus h i granted In mnny BtfltOB Of thc union and It hidfl fair tu ne given throughout tbo whole country next election.

At the City Council meeting held last Monday there were several Items of interest noticeable to those present. Present a petition and the ratepayer attend. Thi- presentation of tbe petition from the lb-tail Merchants Association was supported by eleven of those who had Blgned in support of the contents. • • • • The request made by the Loyal Orange Lodge was supported by four individuals. • • • • When the Mayor called the meeting to order the Aldermen wondered wbat they were to expect from such a large array of strange attendants. It seemed that the strangers were agreeably surprised at the courteous treatment they received af the bands of the City Fathers. ■ ■ • • The volume of business that*had to be attended to promised a long Bitting; it was discharged with dispatch. Thc number of petitions and requests presented to thc council must havfc broke all previous recordB. Tbe petitions ranged from a request to help protect the broad and butter of the citizens and ranchers to the removal of tin enns from a ditch. How much wider and varied a range could on1 wish to hnve before them? • • • • It was surprising to an observer the amount of detail work that was being attended to by tbo council. It can but result in good to the community. • • • * Each department of the city is being well attended to and proper attention is being given to their suggestions by tho council as a whole. When the reports of the vnrious committees were presented to the meeting it was gooil to observe the attention that was paid to any progressive move or suggestion that was explained. This cnn only result in the more economical working of tbe city's projects. • ■ ■ • In the report of lh'1 City Engineer there was no Item uf $TtS.G0 tlml brought forth comment on the purl of the Aldermen. The city engineer in explanation of this snid thai it waa fm cleaning up the nuisance grounds, not after the city scaven gers but after delivery rigs dumping their waste all over the place, having no respect for cleanliness or health. It is about time that the merchants looked into the conduct of their employees Ln this respect nnd avoid trouble that might brew in the future on tbis account. It might be just as well if the parents warned their children to be home before the curfew bell is rung or else they will be having the chief p! police after them. The ringing of the bell has been suggested to the school trustees, and tbey will see the wisdom In co-operating with the I council in endeavoring to get the children hom3 at a reasonable hour, we have no doubt. They have the children's interests at heart ant! for children to be wandering all over the city or playing games at the corners or on vacant lots by the lights of B standing automi [le i the street el.-ftric light i> ;• .••.*.::* eievat- ing or Instructive when tbe hour is late and the majority of the citizens are preparing to retire to rest. It would do a lot of good if the citizens would wh de-heartedly enter into the spirit of the council and cooperate with them in their endeavors to clean up the city. Whilst there are a large number of the householders who are trying to do their best there are others who seem to be only too glad to make work. The council bave gone to a lot of trouble to clean up all thc alleys in the city— and to their credit may it be said that never before has the city presented so clean an appearance or the dangers from disease been so thor- oughly removed as at present—at tbe same time one can wee where some thoughtless Individual has again thrown refuse, which means that before long if the practice is not stopped the work will all have to bc done over again. And this work costs the ratepayers money.

Redistribution Bill Ottawa, dune 10—The redistribution bill introduced in the commons this afternoon by Hon. Robert Rogers arter consideration for the past three months by the special commons committee will, it is expected, be passed through the house before prorogation, at the end of this week, with but comparatively little uiodiii- cation. In Ontario there is some objection j on the Liberal side to tlu- boundaries of the constituency of Kent which, is claimed, should be reduced in size by the ^elimination of two or three municipalities. So fnr as western Cannda is con corned there is no dispute with the exception of the constituency of Na- naimo, in British Columbia. The Liberals are asking that the mining district of Cumberland be included in this constituency instead of being placed in the new Comox-AIherui. THIS PROVINCE CAINS SIX SKATS. ruder the new bill there are to be 234 constituencies instend ol -21, as at present. Suva Scotia und New Brunswick lose two seats each aii.l Prince Kdward Island one. Ontario loses four seats, Manitoba gain- tive, Saskatchewan six, Alberta live and British Oolumbla six. The bill provides that in British Columbia there shall be 13 electoral districts, each of them to be represented by one member, as follows: I—The electoral district of Coinoi- Albernl, comprising tha provincial districts of Alberni, Comox and alt that portion of the provincial district . f Richmond, bounded on the east by the east boundary of EUch- mond from the northeast corner thereof, thenc? southerly to the northwest corner of tbe provincial riding of Dewdney. thence in a southwesterly direction to the mouth of the east branch of the Squamish rive:- at the head of Howe Bound, thence In a southerly direction along tt>.» easterly shore of Howe sound to Burrard inlet.

World's Longest Tunnel The lo now uss the Alps [est tunnel ung shape If the pre: in the world is .ii the heart ot ent rate of pro gress is maintained one half of the; total length of 12 miles .^88 yards; should he completed by tbe end of I th.- present year. The work was com- j menced at the end or December, 11)12. This tunnel, which is known as the Second Simplon Tunnel, is being con- j structed by the engineers ot the Swiss Federal Railways to cope with the remarkable growth of tourist and • goods traffic on the Simplon route. It runs parallel to the existing tunnel, and is being madA by an enlargement of the parallel working gallery made by the engineers of the former tunnel. The cost is estimated at ?6,- 920,000. Apart from the use of explosives for blasting, compressed air is the sole power in use within the workings. The rock drills are operated bjy air, and the excavated material is drawn away by locomotives driven by air under a pressure of between 180 and 1'JO atmospheres. One of the features of the tunnel, according to a Swiss correspondent of The Engineer, is tbe adoption for the dry portions uf the tunnel of a masonry lining uf artificial stone instead of the natural stone hitherto employed in Alpine tunnelling. This artificial stone is composed of cement, limestone and sandstone, nnd I is being mnde nt, Ihe Brlgue end of tbe tunnel. The correspondent suggests that this new departure, which was strongly opposed at first, wns Influenced by the success with which composition stone aud ordinary bricks have been used in England. The work of lining la stated to have been simplified by thiB new practice. The nature of the work nt the northern end or the tunnel is stated to necessitate an immediate lining of the excavated portion, and timbering is being freely used to resist the Immense pressure. No blasting Ih permitted during the passnge of a train through the original Simplon tunnel, as the distance between the tunnel and the heading Is only twenty-six feet. The risk involved upon the first funnel is stated to hnve heen estt- mnted at $1100,000. The lirst Simplon timtn.d, it may he remembered, wns constructed by the Swiss firm of Brnndt, Drnndnu, and extraordinary precautions were tnken for protecting the health and Uvea of the workmen. The precautions, bow- ever, were justified hy the results, nnd a singularly difficult piece of engineering was carried through wilh n marked absence ot illness. Tho necessity for a parallel gnll"ry for ventilation and drainage purposes made the progress with the original Siin- plou tunnel less rnpid than tbnt now taking place.

He liaB been a resident for many years of Sudbury, where he is the uncrowned king. He waa first elected to the Ontario Legislature iu May, 1905, and became Minister of Lands and Mines in the Whitney Government, In 1911, when the anti-reciprocity wave swept the country, Hon. Mr. Cochrane was selected by Premier Borden to tilt tbe portfolio of Rail ways and Canals, though he was uot a member of the Federal House at the time. The striking tribute to his ability was confirmed by the electors of Nipissiug a few we.»ka later, when tliey selected him by acclamation their member. There is no doubt but tbat the dogged purpose which has carried him through a long life from one success to another will also bring him hack to Canada restored to health. Hon.

Do not injure the berry in anyway, either by pressure or by tearing it Ioobb from the calyx or "hull." Pick the vines clean and place soft I berries in separate cupa for the cannery, throwing the culls away. 5. Pack the berries in a cool shed having plenty of light. Before packing remove the berries from the picking cups, placing them upon a cloth covered packing frame. Be sure the berries are perfectly dry before packing. Forcing currents over the'bes- ries while they are upon the framea removes all moisture, brings out the lustre on tbe fruit and leaves it in a cool condition. €. Use experienced packers. For long distance shipments make at least three grades. (A;. Distant Market Grade, using only sound partially colored fruit. (B). Lo>:al Market Grade, using Bound and well colored fruit. (C). Cannery Grade, which includes a good quality of ripe fruit. All berries showing the least indication of decay or deterioration are culls and must he thrown away. Such berries will spoil tbe rest , of the crate. 7. To determine- the proper color that berries should have for | loug distance shipment hy express the beBt plan is to study tbe train schedules and determine the amount of time it will require the berries to arrive at tbe destination. Pick several cupB of berries at different stages of maturity and place them in a tempera ture of 65 degrees. At the end of thc given time inspect the berries and determine which is in the Jhest shape. For this test the cups should be wrapped up in newspaper and the time of thfe test ahould be two or three days over the actual train time. 8. When packing for market use uniform sizes .of berries, placing them in clean, new cupa. Have the top layer of berries come slightly above the outside edge of the cups and have the rows faced evenly so as to give an attractive appearance. 9. As soon as packed place the cupa in tbe crate and keep In a cool place. In nailing on covers use four nails to the cleat. Do not nail sup- erfloUBly aa lt irritates the consumer and deflects from tbe packer's reputation. 10. Cool the berries down to 60 degrees hefore shipping. This may he done by leaving the fruit in the night air and shipping in the morning. RASPBERRIES. 1. Pick the berries aa soon as the fruit will slip off the core without crumbling or mashing. Every berry tbat is red must come off the]vine. Pickers must use small carriers attached to the waist bo as to hold the cups. Pick directly into tb? shipping cup and never tranafer from one receptacle to another any raspberries that are to he shipped. Have a separate cup for cannery berries. Throw away any berries abowing decay. Do not put one over-ripe berry in the shipping cup aB it will spoil the rest nnd the market condition of the whole crate will be ruined. 3. Berries should uot be picked while the bushes are damp, either from dew, rain or fog, except for cannery purposes. 4. See tbat the cups are filled full, having all the cornerB flll'd to the top. 5. Pickers muat. not pinch the berries, noi- hold them in the hand to be crushed. The berry should be taken firmly between tbe fore-tlnger and the thumb, with a lateral twist removed from the core and placed directly In the shipping cup. Pinching makes red discoloration after the berry has been on the mbrket a few dayB, which ia followed by premature softening and decay. 6. As booh as picked place the cupB in the crate which Bhould kept In a coot place. Never allow berries to stand in the sun or dust after being picked. For express shipments cool the berries to 60 degrees by fanning with night air and ship the following morning.

Then there are a number of other minerals more or less closely allied with these in point of composition and modfcs of occurrences, but which need not be touched upon here as so far they have not attained to any commercial importance. Then we come to that class of uranium-radium minerals which are found in sedimentary deposits, nnd thi'se ,for the timo being at least bid fair to attain to the greatest Importance commercially. Their mode of formation bus already been touched upon. The principal mineral of this clnss is carnotite a compound con tain ing vanadium, uranium, ami potassium ofleu with more or less adventitious materials.

The rocks beneath the heavj bedded smnl s Buch us ure occasionally seen ■ ri ; ping mi Hie sides of the hills, are apparently varicolored shales and sandstones dipping eastward and are iu evidence oil the hanks of the stream north ol the post-office at Black Diamond. From beneath these comes u thick scries of sandstones which a short distance farther west are tilted at higher angles, and as seams are lound with them, they may he provisionally correlated with Edmonton beds. As these latter sandstones are of a harder nature than the rocks above and below, their presence is indicated by a line ,-! hills crossing the river valley and through which the two branches of Sheep river have cut channels. This line nf hills marks the eastern side of n long fold running parallel to tbe mountains, and. nt a short distance west, a similar ridge seems to he formed by the westerly dipping beds of tbe same series, thus indicating an anticline. The rocks exposed across this portion between the hills, are dark colored marine shales representing the Bearpaw or upper portion of the Pierre-Foxhill formations. The intercalated fivsh and brackish water member, the lielly River series, conies very near the surface In the centre of the anticline. The presence of a sandstone witli markings resembling plants, indicates a change in condition of deposition, hut, according lo the record of drilling operations un thia anticline, shales continued for nearly 300 feet before the sandstone series was reached. West- wnrd "f (he sandstone rib on tbe west side of this anticline, a decided break or fault is indicated and low- ei beds have beeu brought up. These, both in thickness and composition resemble the Bearpaw shales; but since at the top, overlain by blaek or brown shales, there occurs a sandstone member which is not to be found In the exposures of these shales t, the ,nst, it is concluded that they represent the Olngget which is below the Belly river. Marine fosHils have been collected frum this series, but they nre not uf species definitely characteristic uf any horizon, These shales overlie lhe Ninbiniallcnton nud the Dakota, but uo exposures of cither are here found as tbe lowest beds of the anticline are shales of the Hame series.

C. Character^Sketch HON.t GEORGE E. FOSTER. Interesting Activities ol Uir Minister of Trade and Commerce. When Robert Laird Bordon waa called upon in September, 1911, tu form a cabinet for tlm government of Camilla, there was one name tbat appeared in all tlic various "slates" that newspapers nil ovor tlm Dominion woro busily engaged in putting to the front. Thoro wns-,at no time any doubt that the name of George Eu Iiih Foster would appear upon the lint uf tlnmu whom tho lendor of the Conservative party chose to assist him In Um great tank tlmt bad beon thrown upon bin shouldors. Fighting side/ by Hide in thc ranks tu tho left of tlm Speaker during years that woro long nml arduous, there was no man in whom tlm present. Premier could Imve placed more reliance, nor ever have found that reliance ill- placed. Vear j aftot' year they worked together in Opposition, today thoy nre working with the same zeal in tha larger Held, and with the greater opportunities Unit were presented to them when tlm people uf Canada, hy their-A'ote of 1911, made it clear that tbey desired a new hand to control and,now men to direct tbe varied activities of government. MIS DEPARTMENT. It was to tho Department of Trade and Commerce thnt the activities of Hon. Mr. Foster were directed* when the various branches uf government were being placed upon tiie shoulders best titted to bear them. It was an office for which Hun. Mr. Foster was fitted as, perhaps, no other man in the pnrty was titted. In the first place, he wns a recognized authority on national finance and trade. He had done remarkably capable wo.i; even then for advancing the country's trade, a matter so intimately associated witb tbe country's revenue and the country's general prosperity. He was a mnn of business, a mnu of affairs, one wbo knew other countries na well as his own, wbu was an astute diplomat, one well equipped for meeting tlm Intricacies of trade agreements ami commercial understandings. As far buck as 1892 he hml visited the West indies in the interest of reciprocal arrangements for extension of trade, it is a rcmarkablo fact that twenty years Inter, under another Conservative Government, he went once again to the West- Indies, and there negotiated one of the most important trnde agreements that this country has entered into in recent years. It was a form of reciprocity thnt commended itself to tbe intelligence of the people ut Canada) a reciprocity between countries that produced totally different products, that eacb had u surplus oty commodities that were of use nnd required by the other. The general advantage of this trade agreement has been well demonstrated already, and that it Is apptV'cittted by the West Indies ns well as by Cnnada is shown by the fact that its held has been extended by the addition of other Hritisb possessions in that pnrt of the world. AN ALLIANCE OF TRADE. But this is only une of tho important efforts which tlio present Minister of Trade nnd Commerce has undertaken since lie took Up the duties of bis present office, One of the most important trips wus that lo Australia. Though it wns not possible to conclude tbe very Important trade arrangements which Mr. Foster hnd in mind for Canada's relation to this great sister colony, there wns laid the foundation of wlmt will yet prove a commercial alliance. And the dream of the Minister, n dream thnt will undoubtedly be realized in years yet to como, is nn alliance in trade of all the scattered British Dominions und of the Motherland ns well He remembers the Biblical il'i'lurn tlon that "where your treasure is, tbere will your heart bo also," and iu thnt belief be builds for commercial Btrength by comtnorclal alliance Within the Empire. *lt is In pursuance of thnt. great, bleu tbnt. tlm Min Ister's lengthy trips hive hen undertaken. Ile is Canada's greatest commercial travollor, the envoy to the world of all things Cnnndfl cnn grow and Canadians cun mnke. lle Is the man wbu is Hccklng out new markets, who Is setting forth trnde opportunities, quickening tbe general business enterprise of the Dominion, uud stimulating the whole industry of the country. FOSTER THE ORATOR. This is tbe business side uf Mr. Foster. But* there is anothor side to tho man equally well known, one might say equally admired. Thnt h* tho orator, (leorge Foster, muster of renwoned argument nml strength in debate. Tbere bas recently been Issued in hook form u selection nf Um public Hpeeclmti delivered by Mr. Foster during Ills Niglhy public career. It Is snfe to say thnl. tbis is the most notable contribution to Canadian literati)I'O thnt bus ever been made In that form, II includes speeches that men of middle i\l9l "' member well, It-Includes nlso speeches' which the young men of today bnve heard or Imve rond, There In tbnt. remarkable utterance, rur Instance, during tb'- naval dohnto of last year, probably the mosl. outstanding spoooh delivered during thnt long and BtTOII noun battle, There ate speeches de livered on subjects not political, but all have that Bame lucidity, choice of words and vigor of phrasing which make (leorge E. Foster a model for the speakers of tbe country. DISTINGUISHED CAREER There are few men who have a distinguished career In the public life of Canada extending over a greater number of years. He tirst entered the House iu 1882, and the promptness with which his talents impressed themselves may be noted by the (net that three yeai-H later he was a mombor of the Government of Sir John A. Mucdoiiald, occupying the Important post of Minister of Marine and Fisheries. He found bis greater field three years later, when be succeeded Sir Charlos Tupper ns MiniBter of Finance, and he remained in tbat office through the Abbott, Thompson, Unwell and Tupper administrations. He was leader of the Government during the session of 18115, and lu the session or .January, 1896, up to the re-entry of Sir Charles Tupper. Those who know anything of the period during which Mr. Foster was Minister of Finance will never fail to give credit to him for the masterly way in which he wns able to navigate the ship of state over tbe financial shoals that might Imve been wrecked had a man of less ability been in control. To all his other honors, Mr. Foster will stand in Canadian records as a resourceful and capable finance Minister. One net of hia regime will never be forgotten, that being the Canadian Bank Act, which he introduced and carried through in 1891. Among other new features, it made provision for the currency of all bank notes without discount throughout Canada, for the guarantee of full payment of all notes of issue, and the supervision of a bankers' association. This is the same act which last session wns given its decennial revision, and is the foundation upon which our whole battling system is founded. AN IMPERIAL FIGURE. Hon. Mr. Foster has been a great Canadian figure, but he has also heen more than a Canadian figure; h|3 has heen an Imperial figure. On the invitation of Mr. Chamberlain, he visited Great Britain in 1903, and delivered 28 addresses on the question of Imperial Preference. This great idea lie still works for in his plan of inter-Imperial trnde with all the unity nnd cohesion that he knows this will bring. Another act, along the snme line, was taken in 1912, when ho effected an arrangement with the Brit ish Government by which the world-wide British consular system wns officially opened to the use of Canadian trade and commerce. These nre great Imperial movements that will go ou increasing in practical usefulness and that have been beor- ing upon the growth of sentiment within the Empire. would represent ten." The cost of these drill bails has been much criticized. Let me point out that the cost of1 each mile of the Transcontinental Railway would build ten drill halls; In other words we could have had one drill hall every 170 yards from the Atlantic to tbe Pacific if we had put into drill balls the money spent upon the National Transcontinental Railway. I am not Baying that tbis would be a good expenditure of money, but, if properly distributed throughout the country, a few drill balls built with some of this money would have done no harm. The land that, has been alienated from the Militia Department in Quebec alone would represent at least COO drill halls." Perhaps the country will now bear the last of Liberal criticisms of Colonel Hughes and his expenditures. He is carrying out a policy which results for the good of the youth of thu country. It Is not revolutionary. It salutary and as such should be supported by the people of tho Dominion. Drill Halls Question now answered Tin1 question of drill halls, wblch lias been ku much criticized hy the Liberals since the . Conservative party enmc into power, was recently fully gone into by Oolonljl Hughes, He pointed out, in tlic lirst place, that they can he thrown open also lor any town gathering where there ls no hall—any philanthropic or patriotic meeting, nny meeting of a farmers' association anil other gatherings of thnt kind. lie gave nn Illustration which imli- I'tilcs that the furmers of thc country are becoming favorable to tbe policy of drill hulls. "The Minister snid: "Hix weeks ago I Imd a deputation or eighty live representatives from a town in a (arming locality, many ol thom farmers, aBklng for n drill ball. I asked one of these formers: Wby nro you interested in this? And he snid: I have my son to think of; why should be grow up without the opportunity for physlcnl development nnd training that is afforded to the boya In the towns? Why should not wo hnve snme place for Saturdays or week ovonlngfl to which cur boys could ko for drill under the direction of your drill instructor? I want to tell this House unit thc community at InrgO'tlmt lu the Militia Department wc have applications for over a thoti- uutl drill hulls, ami wc can only supply twenty-live of them tbls year." lt Is thus evident thnt the Ministor of Militia Is anxious about brlghtcn- Ing the lives and improving the spare hours of the young men in the rural ilistrlcts. Concerning the cost about which l.lboralB hnve heen talking, Colonel Hughes trove some startling figures, lln took some of the projects which the I,literal party have Inaugurated nnd botchod and showed how the coat of the drill halls was Inlinileslninlly small compared to It. The minister snld: "The money spent upon the New- mnrket canal would hove built 100 splendid drill hulls. , 'I'he expenditure upon useless dredging, useless wharves mul useless breakwaters would hove built at leant 1,000 drill halls. All I waul, to build this year is Ml drill bolls. Tbe rost nf tbe (jiii'liet! bridge would represent fully I .mill drill bulls. Bvon the sawdust wharf would represent two, and the Intl.' lamented technical commission An Imperial Issue The Toronto Daily News is outspoken and emphatic on the question of Hindu immigration. It Bays: A ship loaded with Hindus has arrived at Victoria. As British subjects of India they will claim the right to land in the British Dominion of Canada. They will raise an issue that may affect the whole Empire. But It is just as well that the position of Canada should be finally established. We do not believe in the compatibility of white and Asi- utic civilization. Between the two races there cannot be intermarriage and natural social intercourse. Tbe Asiatics have industrial ideals which conflict with those of Canadians. There La also a conflict of moral ideals, "We intend that this shall be a white' country. We do not mean that British Columbia and the West shall be over-run with Asiatics, In admitting the yellow races we have been too compliant rather than too severe. It is simple and natural enough to say that a British subject in India Bhould bave equal rights and privileges with all other British subjects In this country. ThiB question, however, has to he settled by facts and not by sentiment. Tbe unity aad even the existence of the Empire depend upon control of Immigration by the Dominions in their own interests and as their own national ideals may suggest. No imperial pressure upon the Dominions could be wisely attempted. No such pressure could prevail. "It is desirable that this ahould he understood in India. The right nnd determination of Cannda to establish its own ideals of civilization should be asserted and recognized. Dut us the Victoria Colonist snid a tew days ago: 'The thought will not down that we are about to witness the beginning of one of those tremendous movements which set at defiance all preconceived policies ns though they were so many cobwebs."
