It lias tho Inst grent stand of Dou gins fir, red cedar, spruce und hemlock timber. Its mines of conl, load, gold, silver, nnd copper steadily increase their output, It is the centre of tho halibut, salmon and herring fisheries, It is the big-game" hunter's and the nngbr's Promised Land, Scenically, ii must he seen to he appreciated, 'description cannot do it justice. AGRICULTURE]. Mixed farming, fruit-growing, vegetable growing, poultry-raising, dairying, stock-raising, and truck-gardening are carried on successfully In the pears, plums, cherries, apricots, grapes, and poaches—have won the highest awards at exhibitions in Oreat Britain, Qastern Canada, and the United States. Hritisb Columbia potatoes won the Slillwell #,000 cup In 1912 at New Vork City, U.S.A., for the beBt collection of potatoes. Open to the whole Continent of Amcrien. Hritisb Columbia is rapidly extend- in,' home nud foreign markets. Hritisb Columbia's fertile virgin soils yield heavy crops. Hritisb Columbia has irrigated and non-irrigated lands tor the farmer, ns well as pre-emption and home- stead lands. Hritisb Columbia farmers enjoy an equable year round climate, No extremes of either cold or hent. Oood roads and good schools, Hritisb Columbia is particularly well adapted to mixed farming, Hritisb Columbia 1)03 wide areas suitable iu every respect Tor cattle- glazing, hoi He-raising, and Sheep- ranchlng, Hritisb Columbia's Department of Agriculture spends mnny hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for tho farmers and fruit-growers.

Coal, mineral, petroleum, and natural gas do not pass under Crown grant lands. TIMBER—WATER. British Columbia timber consists mainly of Douglas Ur, red cedar, spruce, and hemlock—fir and cedar being the bulk of the stand. To the tlmberman, the manufacturer of pulp, paper, etc., and all manufacturers wbo use soft woods as the principal factor Ih their output, British Columbia offers very great opportunities. An abundance of water-power, easily convertible into electric power, is available near most of the heaviest stands for the use of thc manufacturer or tbe lumberman. British Columbia Douglas Iir iB famous for heavy construction-work, und for inside finish as well. British Columbia red cedar is admittedly the finest for shingles. Vancouver Island alone can f irnish one billion feet of merchantable timber a year for one hundred years to come. Climatic mildness allows of continuous all-year work In the logging camps and mills. The Provincial Forestry Department, ably handled, lessens the dangers and the destructlveness of forest fires. Deep-sea harbours wi*h not-urai dockage are adjacent to many of the forests of British Columbia. The opening of the Panama Canal will put British Columbia timber to the front in the marketB of the world, MINES AND MINING. It Ib officially estimated that thc Cro.wsnest coalfields alone contain coal sufficient to supply five million tons of coal a year for seven thousand years. There are 300,000 square miles of land open to prospecting for mineral. An individual free miner's licence costs $5 a year. A licence to prospect for coal over a square mite of unreserved Government land costs $100 a year. Iron ore exists In large bodies. Some of them aro close to extensive toal areas nnd water-power. Steel and iron manufacturers arc invited to examine conditions. Oold, silver, copper, and lead mining aro firmly established on *i paying basts, Mining for zinc is in its initial stage. licit ish Columbia smelters are handling many hundreds iff thousands of tons of high nnd low-grade ores, and mnking thousands' of pounds of blister-copper and also of refined lead. Marble, fireclay, limestone, sandstone, and brick-clay are subsidiary products, chiefly used in building, the manufacture of cement, etc. British Columbia mining affords a first-class field for capital, handled by experienced and careful investors. The industry, in practically all of its branches throughout the Province, ls developing in a stable and satisfactory manner. The incoming of railways,, the extension of the present railway ByB- teni of British Columbia, will undoubtedly stimulate mining in the Province, and render accessible areas known'to be mineral-bearing. FISH AND FISHERIES. British Columbia's salmon-pack for 11113 was 1,353,901 cases, a gain of 888,007.cases since 1904. British Columbia is at present shipping frozen fresh halibut and salmon to Oreat Britain. The halibut hanks arc of immense area. Their commercial possibilities are very important. ■ Tbe herring fishery in British Columbia has been developed to a comparatively limited degree only, considering the scope of which tbo industry is capable. The self-made merchant said to his son, "Of course clothes don't make the man, but they make all of him except his hands and face during business hours." You may not think your advertising a very important matter, but it is all strangers see of your business and they will judge you by it.

The opening 0I the Fanama Canal offers a short cut for freah salmon, halibut and cod to Old World markets. British Columbia produced almost hull of the entire fisheries VHlue for fiscal year of 1912-13. Over seven million dollars' worth more than Nova Scotia, the next Province in importance. British Columbia Balmon-pack represents close to one-quarter of entire pack of Pacilic Coast. Splendid modern fishery establishments, canneries, and cold storage arc found In various points iu the province. The shipping of fresly caught sea fish from British Oolumbla to eastern aud middle Canada, aud the entire United States, ls likely to develop into an important branch of the trade. The present, active railway development in the Province will give the fisheries more and quicker routes for the disposal of thc fish, and develop new fishing-grounds in British Columbia. RECREATION, ETC. Grizzlies, mountain-sheep, goats, moose, deer, caribou, and cougar for the hunter. Salmon and trout and river and lake,and sea-fishing for the angler. British Columbia salmon take thc fly. Experienced guides and good hotels available. Four thousand miles of ■ magnificent automobile roads In a delightful climate. Peaks, glaciers, waterfalls, mountain lakes, superb national parks, canyons rivers, and wilderness scenery. World- famous motor highways. NUGCiETS. British Columbia's educational system is Becond to none in North America. Schools are tree, well- tiiught, numerous, and undenominational. Serious crime is at a minimum in the Province, both in the cities aud country. Tiie great majority of the population is Anglo-Saxon; chiefly British. Manhood suffrage prevails and voting is by ballot. Thc University of BrltiBh Columbia is now in courso of construction. British Columbians climate secured site of Dominion Observatory.

CanadiansonSalisburyPlains Magnificent Reception accorded the Canadian Troops upon arrival at Plymouth Plymouth, Oct. 16.—"There came n gallant ship full sail to Plymouth hje." Mucaulay's lines in which he Bang of a stupendous incident of English history will doubtless come to the minds 0f many when they learn that the mighty transports and convoy bearing the Canadian contingent to the great clash of arms is now snug and safe within the waters of Plymouth sound and ns far as the Ho- moaze. The troops began to disembark earl* this morning, going to Salisbury plain. The Canadian troops will not b; able to say they found a lukewarm reception even though they came into England almost by stealth. If there was any grumbling on the subject it will come from the people ,of thc famous seaport who were unable, owing to the restriction of attendant circumstances, to give such a demonstration as they would have desired. Plymouth haa seen a few Bights in its time but there has never been anything like this. PEOPLE WERE SURPRISED. The arrival of these transports came as a surprise to tbe great majority of people of Plymouth, 'lhe first ships steamed slowly in during the early morning. The (oik on shore were watching them more or less idly, which u not a surprising matter considering tbey have heui able to watch thc movements Oi a good many vessels which are strangers to Plymouth during thc past few lateful months. It was the men u. board who themselves mado known their arrival, for as the great vessels draw iu shore the Boldiera of tbe Ma pic Leaf were heartened mightily U Und the first incident in their momentous mission accomplished and broke into wild cheers. With eager enthusiasm to look out on the rich land of Devon they swarmed out on to the top decks and into the rigging and cheering passed from ship to ship. WHY, IT'S THE CANADIANS. "No ordinary crowd of soldiers Aboard those boats," was the thought passing among the still puzzled onlookers. Then in a Hash the real character of these voyagers dawned upon the watchers. "Why, It's tlic Canadians." The exclamation passed from one llttlo group of beholders to another. Straightway thc cheers of thoBe on the transports received a response from the good folk of the port. Tbe news spread further and each company of watchers nddul to IU number every minute. Hats and flags were waved both afloat and ashore and from the dock of at least one tit the transportp thorn came a skirl of bagpipes, The relief at reaching port was Intense among thn Canadian*. The disappointment was correspondingly Intense among the townsfolk because there Imd been no means of bestowing a hearty welcome other than'by nn abnormal display of lung power. He this ns It may, the Canadians will not forgot their reception at this port, the demonstration being all the more noteworthy bemuse It wns so completely spontaneous. If there wero any formal reception Tor the commanders of the transports by the military and naval heads of tbo port it was purely of a private character. The public demonstration was entirely between the folk ot the three towns and the contingent of the rank and file. The weather almost throughout the voyage was ideal, scarcely a single man being seriously inconvenienced by tho penalty most often imposed on ocean travellers. The case of the horses, the uxh, i* not so happy. For this reason tbey were landed directly on arrival. A great many of them reeled and staggered on being led ashore, but soon recovered themselves nnd are now being comfortably established on the land. Life on hoard a transport is of a confined character both for man and beast and the latter feels it more than bis master. The cramped quarters, too, make life difficult in other ways, but on board the Canadian transports transports there was quite regular ■routine. Everybody turned out at 5:30 a.m. There was the daily drill, especially in the way of physica exercises, and the men were quick to devise methods for keeping fit and trim. Boxing bouts were a great feature and th"1 men of one company challenged others in a tug-of-war. Every transport was a temperance ship. Those who have already come ashore say life on board throughout the voyage was of the happiest character, the only disadvantage being there was scarcely room enough to move about and little to do except go through the same exercises over and over. In spite of these drawbacks the men from Canada wer* never more fit than at this moment. On n-arly every ship a newspaper was published and it gave the latest war news received by wireless, thc editor alBo de voted aome (portion of his meagre space to small incidents happening on hoard, Thire will he many a laugh in Canadian homes over Borne Ot these personal paragraphs when the mall carries these newspapers back along with letters to tbose left behind. The voyage at night wns conducted with the portholes Bhrouied.tut down below docks the crowded companies contrived to enjoy a good deal of Innocent revtlry. Tho folk on the shore at Plymouth were surprised to find the Canadians apparently were not familiar with "It's a Long Way to Tlpperary." Probnbly they wvre too busy to learn It when at Valcartier. Songs of a autre domestic character were in evidence on the transports. Ouly a small portion ol the in -n received shore leave wben the transports berthed, the privileges being granted to men who had friends and relatives ln the neighborhood, Some of these came early ashore on various duties, but with tlm exception of removing horses tbere was no general movement toward fllBombnrkment nnd future proceedings are hMII uncertain, FANTASTIC STORIES ClUCII- LATHI). Plymouth Just now la naturally un der especially strict control nnd the Canadians are probably aB comfortable aboard as tbey would be ashore. The weather, having been very un settled, has picked up again, and tbe men in the uniform of the Maple Leaf will probably pass through a smiling Devonshire when they do begin the journey inland. England has been awaiting the ar rival of the contingent for months past. Military necessities have hitherto rendered it impossible to give precise itttyrniabfoh concerning the movements of the troops from the Dominioa and in consequence some fantastic stories concerning them bave been circulated. Many voluntary agencies in Eng land are eager to assist in their well being, while here special efforts are being made to keep the contingent supplied with newspapers from tbe Dominion of Canada colony In London. London is considering several proposal d for their comfort. DISEMBARKED IN RAIN. Plymouth, England, Oct. 1G 1, a. ni.—The Canadians received a debar- • at ion order from the war office unexpectedly tbis morning. Despite the rain, crowds of people turned out to watch the landing nnd entraining of the troops, which began with a contingent of Strathcona Horse. Tbo various contingents were head ed through the streets by their bands and pipes. Owing to the difficulty 0f berthing the transports in consequence of the neap tide the debarkation of the Canadians Ib expected to he slow. SOME REACH SALISBURY. Salisbury, England, Oct. 16.—The country folk for many miles around lined the streets of Salisbury during the whole of this afternoon and late in the evening to give the Canadian troops a rousing welcome on their entry into the famous city, hut much to their disappointment there was no sign up to nearly midnight of an> of the contingent arriving. It was, in fact, Just on the stroke of 12 when the first detachment made its appearance. The men looked none the wone for t\ti lung sea and train journey, and on reaching camp they wore -e freshed with tea that had been brewing for something like Iti hours In ex pcctatlon hourly of their arrival Tho remainder of the troops will lie brought, in tomorrow. Oontrary to all previous reports, the camps are all mt Sntlabury plain within three, or four mlbs of each other mid the men will live tinder canvas. In more ways than one the Canadians will find their new quarters u groat Improvement on Valcartier, where sand and dust. In particular caused Home trouble, Tbe grounds aro judiciously situated on gentle slope.- and nf well drained, So the men should bo qulto dry. Military nooosaltlos render It Impos slbie to Hay anything concerning many matters upon which the dnm dian public will be eager for lufor niatlon. Th' voyage to Britain was a delightful one nnd on every trans port there wiih inn lnt allied the mime MigernoHH mid Iluc Bpirlt which were shown In tbe days before Hailing. II is understood there is a clean bill of health, but a good many horses have died on the voyage. The task of disembarking such immense numbers of men and material is naturally tremendous but arrangements are working witb complete smoothness. CHAMPION JUSTICE AND LIBERTY. The Western Morning News for today says the arrival of the first contingent of the Canadian forces at Plymouth was an event of good augury for*the future of the country. "These splendid men have come, some of them nearly (1,000 miles to testify to the unity of the Empire aud to take their share of the burden which rests upon Britons the world over of being the stoutest champions of liberty and justice. Even if their numbers were small cr," adds the News, "we should hail their arrival as a symbol of tbe solidarity of tbe British i race, but they come a large number in themselves and yet are only the earnest of many more to come if they are needed to help in defeating* the imposition o! German tyranny and militancy on the world. .The cheers they raised for the old country when they steamed into harbor yesterday and the splendid spirit they displayed showed they have both the will and the power to give a good account of themselves at the front and prove worthy comrades of the dauntless band of heroes who, under Sir John French, have won tbe unstinted admiration of our French and Russian and Belgian allies, and indeed Of the who!»i world." London, Oct. 15.—How the Becrecy of the port of arrival of the Canadian troops was maintained, says a Plymouth message, may be gathered from thb fact tbat Plymouth's population of nearly 250,000 was officially ignorant that the Canadians were to disembark there. All the same, many thousands of people have lined the harbor front all day, cheering transport after transport as they have, with stately dignity, threaded their way in across the .harbor to the inner waters on their way to the government anchorage. The heartiness of the welcome has been unmistakable, all classes of the roDUlatinn having turned out and left their work to greet Canada's sons. Men with megaphones have shouted words of welcome. In response to cries of "Are We Downhearted?" have come across the stretch of waters ■nich negative replies as have startled evi>n tbe sturdy and liwty folk of Devon. On the approach of the Canadians the men working in the government dockyards dropped their tools and ceased tbeir labors to greet tbem, whli* the men of Kitchener's army, training near the sea front, stopped their drill and shouted lustily. Strathcona's horse came in for a gratifying reception. They could be distinguished by a Bpeclal banner ills, played on the liner's bridge. Those who have come In close touch with the contingent are delighted with the soldierly touring <.ind the heartiness of the troops and their splendid spirit. They will do Canada credit and are to be a sturdy help In the tleld. Boer Rebel Whipped in First Engagement London, Oct. Iti.—A despatch to Routers from Capetown says that Col, Brlstow, the officer appointed iby (len. Botha to take over the command of the rebel lieutenant. Col. Solomon Oerhardus MariU, reportB that one of his patrols has engaged a part of Marltz' force.at Raledraal and taken 80 prisoners. Capetown, via London, Oct. 15,— As a result Of Col. Maritz' rebellion ii the northwest of the ('ape provinces, (ten. Louis Botha, premier of tho Union of South Africa, Is ti.t ng the field earlier than he origin ally Intended to do, (leu. Botha in placing himself ,ti tb*1 head of sever al strong Dutch commands organized on the old burgher lines, which affiliated with regiments trained by th union defense force, Tlte other rebelh within the union having openly declared th"ii.selves the Oovernment cousiib not received immediately these men and women will all be turned adrift at a time when it is more difficult to earn one's living than the oldest living Britisher can remember." Then the Army bave hospitals for the sick, hospitals tbat bave been visited and most highly commended by Queen Mary for the benevolent nnd useful work accomplished in them. "Where would the sick go at these times when all the hospitals and all kinds of institutions are commandeered for hospital use for the valiant heroes who have been wounded in the service of their country?" The maintenance of these hospitals and homes cost at least $500 per week. The above is a part of the problem tbat is perplexing tbe heart and mind of the General and his staff at these times. The General Is making on appeal for $25,000 to help tbose in. »*ed who have no claim on the ■mtriotic funds. Thia sum will keep open for twelve months the doors of all tbe homes for aged poor, for homeless children, and the hospitals for poor sick, which otherwise may he closed. "Truly." as tbe General says, "I am In a istrait." We bring the above to our readers' attention for one reason above many others, i. e., the fact that the Army has so many sympathizers in this district who, perhaps, do not know do not realise the straits the Army ls In today, and who would be most willing to tender their mite for its support in thiB time of its greatest need. Tbe Army, iu spite of wbat many people would iave ub believe, bas done a lot of good service in this district; many hardships have the officers bad to bear and much abuse has been given tbem, but they bore it all without complaint and to their honor be it said. Many have be.«n the hours of ntertaiiiment they have been the means of providing in tbe camps for the benefit of the lumberjack and the laborer. These men from the very nature of their occupation and their environment never would go into a church or a church minister go and visit them. But tbe Army men go oul they should be honored the more or the hardships they have to endure. TheBe men might be d'sirous of giving a little if they knew of the Army's need. Perhaps they will; who knowB? Military Orders DBTAOHMBNT ORDERS by MAJOR J. II. POLLEN, Command- iDg "0" & "D" Coy" Week ending, Octoher 24th. Orderly Officer-Lieut.

In making this announcement to our readers and the public it is with deep regret and with a feeling that comes over one when parting with some big treasure. The Prospector has been published since 189". without miBsing a single issue; in that year Mr. A. li. draco published the tirst issue in Fort Steele, and later removed the plant to Cranbrook. During the lite of the paper it lias played an important part In promulgating the interests or the district. In the early part of 1911 the paper changed hands to the present owner, who, in taking over tbe management felt it to be a great trust; the Prospector being one of the oldest papers in the province. For a time the prosperity of the office was assured, then came a depression in the Fall of 1913 brought about by a series of happenings over which one had no control. The district was being run over with a depressive spirit that was hard to combat with, for really there was no cause. In the early part of this year the crisis in the lumber business, upon which thp prosperity of the city has in a large measure depended, reached an acute stage resulting in the gradual displacement of hundreds of men. The abnormal financial situation from which the country has been suffering reached its climax on the outbreak of the European war. Advertising was withdrawn, stationary accounts wer; curtailed, and a most unmistakable trade depression took place, so much so that our receipts have fallen so much that drastic measures have had to lie taken to assist in taking care of the future In consequence of all this the managements of the Prospector and the Herald went into consultation and decided to join interests and unite in publishing one paper and endeavor by a series of economic workings to advance tbe interests ot the two concerns under the one head. • • • • The future of the joint paper will he what you make It. Ub purpose In the community will be to form a constructive policy on absolutely independent lines for the whol-hearted upbuilding of the district. Within the bounds of fair comment, an Intelligent and we hope constructive criticism will he,directed on all matters of civic und public Interest. • • e * The usefulness of the paper wlll he considerably enhanced hy the combination of the two subscription lists to advertisers and one t hat should be taken note of for future guidance, lu thc case of subscribers being duplicated, as Is possible in this case, the time of expiration will be advanced. Wheu the subscription lints are tb iroughly overhauled the number of paid up renders will he published for advertisers benefit. It is most essential to the success of the scheme that is being work out that thp management will have the entire support of all the merchants nnd citizens and at this time we tako this opportunity of asking all non- subscribers to become subscribers, and by su doing become a co-partner in assisting to maintain a worthy newspaper in the city. * • • • The council were brought face to face On Tuesday with a problem, that h perplexing the best civic authorities'through the lengtti and breadth ot the Dominion today, 1. e., delinquent taxes. The problem is a serious one and one that lias to he faced and Considered seriously. It would be a very unpleasant proceeding if the council were t(l tn':e ho'd of a man's property and lands and offer the same for public sale; It would be most uninviting if the council were to take any drastic measures to collect the same. Any scheme whereby the citizens are put to an undue hardship at this time of money stringency would only Increase the difllculty and make th" circumstances governing the city conditions far worse Yet at the same time'what are the city author! ties *i do? It looms Up as a ghost in the future that if these taxes are not. paid the City will not be lu a position to pay tho teachers' sal aries, and then what an uproar wouW arise In the city. Tho children would have to be thrown nn tllO homo aud would lack educational facllltloB, The future ennseqnonces of such aea lamity could not bo accurately estl mated, If an estimate were potHlblo At all. And yet FUlctl a condition may arlsle. Again, look what a Having to the ratepayers themselves tf the arrears were paid. The taiea for neit year will be considerably in creased if the arrears are not paid; on the other hand if a large proportion was, paid the taxes might be lowered. * * - * The tax problem before the city council exercised their consideration for a considerate time and the solution they came to was the advocacy of publicity. The names of all the delinquent ratepayers up to November 1st will he published in the local newspapers, so if any ol our readers do nut want their names to appear "Pay up." , ■ • • ■ The passing of a by-law governing the measuring of wood and the weighing of coal at Tuesday's council meeting was a good one, Whlc there have been no complaints about the amount of coal anyone has received there have been a considerable number of complaints trade respecting the measure of cord wood supplied by the Itinerants in the city. Shortages have been repotted and no redress can he had because tbe dealer will tell you be soW you the wood by the rick ur the load an.l thus avoids any specific quantity. Such in the future wilt not be possible, wood must be Bold by the cord or a portion thereof. A cord of wood contains 128 cubic feet or a pile of wood with a minimum of air space 4 feet high 4 feet through and 8 feet long. When you buy wood antl feel dissatisfied with the quantity received pile it and call in the Chief of Police and receive satisfaction. The bylaw is a good one and should result in benefit to the purchaser. • • • • Numbers of school children have of late been making sling-shots or catapults and Bhootlng small stones at bottles and even the hanging electric lights ia the streets. Parents of children who have these dangerous playthings In their possession should take note of Sec. 2 of the "Offensive Weapons Act," which provides among otber things that a person found to he in possession of a sling-shot shall be guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction to a penalty not exeeding a tine,of $200.00 or less than $25.00 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding nix months with or without hard labor or both." Under these circuniHtaiices it would be just ns well if the parents looked among their children's playthings and burnt all sling-shots found to he in their possession. The chief of police has already confiscated several slingshots and tliey form quite an addition to his large curio collection. (KIUD FOR REVELSTOKE (iood (or Revelstoke, At tbe Cal gary Irrigation Congress Revelstoke won the Ilrst prize for district exhibit and incideatly $500.00. Thp exhibit was in charge of W. E. Smith and W. H. Pottruff. The margin of winning was very small. Revelstoke received 64.5; North Battleford 64,25, and Kelwood, Man., fill in the district exhibit. W. E. Smith took second prize for his exhibit of grain and also second prise for grasses anil fourth prize for fruits and vegetables. The secretary of the local association, T. E.

Glenday, and contained a list of names of 54 married men, 22 single and 5, ot whom no particulars were given, accounted for by the fact that the men were not at hand when the engineer visited the works; 2 had been discharged that morning. In commenting on this liBt the council were agreed that the liet waB a very fair one and fully carried out the wishes of the council In that city men only should be em-I ployed. One man was employed who, came from Wyclifle but his circumstances were such that Alderman Horie aaid that the case waB most deserving. In respect to the single men it was stated that they all wero supporting dependents; it waB suggested that the council look into these statistics of, ihe single men and see if the facts were aa represented. Frank Provpiizano was then given permission to address the council, and in his remarks said that there were single men as well as others among the Italians wbo had been working for the city for the past three or four years and that their livelihood had completely subsisted from the work. They were ratcpay ers and no reuBon was forthcoming why they should be allowed to starve because hard times had come; in the paBt when times were good the Italians were Bought after to do the dirty work and now they were being robbed ofitheir legitimate rights. He wanted the council to be fair In choosing men to work for them and ht* thought the Italians should be given a chance. "I would like to make a bet that I could pick lo Italians who would do as much work as 15 white men," he said. H. B. Bird also addressed the.fcoun- eil upon the employment question, and said that he had been given a slip from the city clerk to be taken to tbe foreman'of the works for employment and tbat it was not worth the paper it was written on. He was a ratepayer and he could not see why in giving slips that "ratepayer" could not be written thereon as a guide to the contractor in putting men to work. Contractor Qoode, representing the firm of contractors doing the work, said that he could say this; "That so far as his firm was concerned they had gone to more trouble in meeting the requests of the city of Cranbrook than any other contract that they had ever handled, but they still wished to do their best to co-operate with the council in the methods they wished to pursue t0 relieve the needy." If he had his way so far as the, Italians were,concerned, tie only wished he had 68 of them working on the job for they knew how to work and some of the men now on the work were entirely new to it and did not always make the progress they otherwise would do if more experienced. So far bb Mr. Bird was concerned if *e turned up at 7 in the morning there would be work for him to do. The financial statement was jfceiv- ed and presented by the finance committee for payment.

GLENDAY, City Engineer On motion of Alderman Hickenbotham 'Und Horie the report was received and tiled. The question of au auditor was brought up for consideration and it was on motion of Aldermen Hicken- botban and Horie "That the City Clerk be instructed to offer Mr. J.P. Sullivan the position of auditor at a salary of $200.00 for the year 1914 —carried. On motion of Aldermen Horie and Campbell it was proposed that the assessment roll be extended to November Uth and close on that date. Aldermen Horie and Hickenbotham moved that Bylaw No. 142 known as "The Coal Weighting and Wood Measuring Bylaw" be read the tlrst time—carried. On motion it was read a second and third time. Tho pasaing of this bylaw was felt to be urgent on account of the season and so it was put through and now the signature ol the mayor being attach ed it becomes law. It would be just as well if wood merchants became acquainted with the laws embodied in this bylaw for their future guld ance. Only complaints had been re ceived as to tho measuring of wood and none with thi1 weighing of coal. but it was lelt best to embody the two in one. This bylaw calls for » Cord of wood with LBS feet cubic measurement und sold as a cord or fraction thereof antl not as ricks or loads, The council wero brought Uee to face with a serious problem as to bow to got in their back taxes. lt appears that thero is a matter ot between $30,000 and $3;".,DOS back taxes on tbo books and it was pointed out that if tins money could be collected the city would be iu excellent shape to go on with tho work in hand and extend it if necessary. It just amounts to this that if the taxes are tiot paid next year's taxes will be increased to meet the demands on the finances of the city when they could be comfortably lowered if the arrears were in the treasury. To meet this diflculty Aldermen Horie and Genest moved that taxpayers in arrears be notified that if the arrears for 1912 and 1913 were not paid by November 1st that tbe names and amounts be published in the local newspapers—carried. Council adjourned 11.15 p. m. Orange Gathering (Contributed) The open meeting and social of the Star of tho Went ljuOge, Ho. 00, L.» dies Orange Benevolent Association, held in their lodge room in the Royal Black Knights of Ireland hall ,last Tuesday evening, was wall attended, the ball being comfortably tilled with members and their friends and all enjoyed the program very^much. Tbe hall was nicely decorated with flowers and flags, and on a pedestal covered with the union jack and sitting in the centre of the hall, rested the open Bitle. it. 8. Garrett occupied the chair, and tl*; meeting was opened by the gathering singing "The Maple Leaf Forever," after which tbe following took part tn the program: Miss Vera Bradwin, recitation; J, F. Broughton, song; Mrs. Laurie, address; Mr. Coutts, song; Rev. O. K. Kendall, address; Mrs. S. Ryckman, instrumental; Rev. W. K. Thomson, address; J. F, Smith, bagpipes, Mrs. Laurie,,worthy mistress of the above lodge gave a very able address in which Bbe brought out the alms and objects of tbe association as follows: 1. Tbe upholding of the grand principles of the Protestant religion. 2. To oppose all encroachments on our public school system. 3. To resist that infamous thing known as thc Ne Tcmere decree, using our influence for a Federal marriage law, recognising tho validity of marriages performed hy qualllled clergymen of tiny religious denomination, or other person vested by tbe law with thnt power. 4. Our motto.Is )'One Hchun', One Flag, One Language (the Bnglish)." 5. To be mi Auxiliary to the Orange Association and aid them lu every possible way. 6. To shed our influence for good wherever we may be placed, to visit the sick ond do alt in our power to alleviate suffering and grid' wherevr found. 7. To care for tbe orphans of Orange brothers and sisters, and to see that they ale educated tin the Protectant faith, If It is possible for us to do sn, h. To try nud stnnrthcn our members, by Inducing as many earnest Protestant women and voting girls of hixteen and over to join our lodges, and thereby do alt we mn to prevent that deplorable mistake of mixed marriages, so fruitful of trouble to nil concerned. Camo!,, today is a Protestant na tlon nnd we must endeavor to keep It so, llie separate school Is nn necessary and unwarranted. Many people think the Orangemen and wo men like to Mnuoy th' Catholics but that Is not the case as true Orange men and women are Hurry Vor the Catholics because they know they are ' a deluded people, kept down by the syBtem of the church in which they have been born and brought up. Mrs. Laurie concluded by saying "I hope that I have gained your interest in our order in such a way that, you will wish to join us iu our stand for Protestantism in Cranbrook," ] Rev. O. }.. Kendall said he had lis-' toned with pleasure to Mrs, Laurie's address nnd was pleased with the ot- jeets of the association and glad to know that it. was a light giving agency. In South America, a. Catholic country, 70 pet cent ol all children wero born out of wedlock, and when the United States took over I Cuba thoy found 80 per cent ofipopu I lation UllgltlmatO, ami history tells i us that similar conditions largely up , ply io all Catholic countries. He iol \ vised the ladlOR to be tolOMtlt in all their works, and do all becauao of lovo. ltev. W. K. Thomson said lie was ill sympathy with every! h ng Ibe worthy mistress had said and Judg iug by ing hy the nble addroBsHho Indies as sociution will do a splendid woik for Protestantism, show lhat you ure buoyed up with tb,' belief that you have a true conception <'. life. The Ifiucharlstlc Congress, or at least ! •omo phases of it, such as the carrying of the host should never havu been allowed in n protestnnt Canada in the 20th century. London refused it, Canada purmittod it. I'rotestnuts must bc truo to their principles and bo tolerant but uot too tolerant. Just as truoly as Germany had for years boon quietly preparing for this war or buying a little land or a strong position bete and another one tbere, so the Roman Catholic system is quietly laying her plans to win Canada, and on | dny she will dimy'cy the neutrality of home life, etc., and endeavor to get control of Canada, She won (Jueb'.'C by her quiet work and ber quiet mode of preparation, The Roman Catholic system cannot give us freedom-—but oppression and tyranny. Are the Protestants prepar ing for the clash.? If we were true as the Roman Catholics we would do %J1 in our power to win them to our faith, but only by love, and not by being too easy and too tolerant. Jesus gave us a clear conception ot liberty and let us take no other than that for our guide. At the close of the musical program and addresses the ladies of the Order served coffee, cake and sandwiches, after which the meeting was closed by singing "God Save the King.

AddroM «'»W».»HHfim*Ts»pHT» HffTWWtHffWW Back from Kootenay The Hon. Thomas Taylor, Minister of Public Works, returnod yesterday from u tour of the Kootenay districts. He visited Revelstoke, Nelson, Cranbrook and intervening points, inspecting the status of various public works which are in progress and informing himself ns to present conditions and the outlook for the Winter. "While thc disruption of the normal position due to the war is, of course, making Itne'il manifest in the Interior of the Province, ns well as at the Coast cities, 1 can assure yon that I was agreeably surprised to Hnd the general situation so satisfactory. On all sides there is a determination to see the thing through aud with everybody co-operating to make the best of things, matters are not nearly so bad as they would he if this courageous spirit were absent. "I found that the problem of unemployment was not nearly so pressing hs iu tho Coast cities. This la due, m> doubt, to railwny activity, which still continues. The Kettle River Valley line is making splendid progress and employing a large number of men. The C.P.R. is also omi loying a hit; staff on thc double- tracking and other undertakings. THK KOOTKNAY CENTRAL LINK. "In respect to the Kootenay Central branch of the C.P.R., I was informed that construction throughout its entire length would be completed by December 31 and the last spike driven shortly thereafter. The final connecting rail will probnbly be laid at a point about ton miles to the south of lnvermere. "The work of constructing the swing bridge to the north Ol lnvermere is being pushed forward, and steel is being laid as rapidly ns the road bed can be made ready. Anchor fuMtitu nillps hiw been taken over by the operating branch of the railway, and trains to that part will be brought forward by the end ot the present month carrying both freight and passengers. The telegraph line has been brought to steel- head, and the system before long will be in operation to Kdgewatcr. BANFF-WINDERMERE ROAD. "The work on the Banfl-Windcrmere automobile road is being brought to a conclusion this yenr. Home seventeen miles have been constructed on the,western division, where it leaves the) main wagon road from (Jolden to lnvermere. About twenty-two miles have been completed on its northern section, running from the main line of .the C.P.R. at Castle. In addition I to this the road haB been "roughed" out for some further distance on the western end, to enable the newly-arrived settlors pre-empting In the Kootenny River Valley to use it as a sleigh road during the Winter, season. The completed work wlll' leave in the neighborhood of thirty- j four miles to be tackled next year. i "In addition to the natural beauly of mountain scenery which thc road passes through in its route across two mountain ranges, it traverses points of special interest in the ochre beds of the Vermilion River, the high roil cliffs of iron deposits, the picto- graph marking of ancient tribes, on their war forages, and thc famous radio-active Sinclair Hot Springs, which hnve recently been in part developed. "Nolson I found to be going along in a thoroughly satisfactory manner, so characteristic of tbo metropolis of .he Kootenays. This is one of the most solid and promising centres in the Interior and unquestionably hns a Bplendld future. Its citizens have recently inaugurated n wceKly market scheme, as you have in Victoria anil T waa *oM ♦hnfr )♦ is proving quite the success anticipated. An especial etlort is being made to drive out the Chinese vegetable peddler, who has bcen too aggressive a competitor against the. white farmer and rancher. "The people of Nelson are entering into the work of lending a helping hand in the war with the fame patriotic fervor as obtains in the Const cities. While I was there they were making arrangements to form a lo- cal branch of the Red Cross society. "The fruit growers in Nelson and vicinity are preparing to take an aggressive part in the campaign to sell more apples, which has been inaugurated by the Dominion Oovernment. Twenty-eight boxes of prize fruit from the 'display at the twelfth nn nual Nelson Fruit Fair bave been shipped to Oalgary, where they are on view at tho Irrigation Congress.

SC-tt Pruning Schools In view of the success which attended the pruning schools conducted in the province during the spring of this year by the department Qf agriculture the department has announced, that it will offer tbe courses again. The qualifications necessary to become a pupil at the school are that the pupils be willing to do pruning work, that Iw be connected with an orchard where he will work as a primer or foitynun in charge of orchard work or that he be an orchard- 1st or permanent resident whose prun Ing school experience will be of benefit to the district as a whole. The following nre the conditions upon which a school will he established: "Tbe department of agriculture will provide a competent instructor and ray his expenses. The local administration of the pruning schools will he placed iu the bunds of n responsible local body, such as the fanners' Institute, the fruit growers' association or the board of trade, wbo will Iw responsible for tbe guarantee of a minimum of ciglit pupils, but not more thnn 11, with the proper qiial.

C. udweis Means Moderation Lenient Jo^ Debtors Much satisfaction is expressed in financial ami commercial circles at Lhe fact that British Columbia is in the fortunate position of not yet having had to resort to the principle of the moratorium, this being apropos of a London press cable setting out thut British financial circles wnni'i vUm with aiaem thn introduction of the system in western Canada, in view of tbe fact thut much British capital is invested in mortgnges and other securities. The general 'feeling throughout the province, as far as it can he ascertained, is that tho policy enunciated by the Premier, Sir Richard McBrlde, a few days ago, is the correct one to be followed at the present timo. This is, ia brief, thnt while the moratorium shall not mist now he invoked, the government shall take cognisance of any harsh and needlessly aggressive actions agaiust debtors, nml that, if the situation demands it, legislation will be sought to provide thc remedy, bucIi legislation to he retroactive in its scope. As indicating that this declaration on the part of tho provincial govern* ment is likely to prove adequate, it. may be mentioned that at Vancouver following tbe policy 0f showing consideration to parties who aro undergoing foreclosure, which Mr. Justice Clement has put in force since tbe declaration of wnr, His Lordidiip gave several parties three months to meet a final order, where ordinarily thirty days are only given. In other cases where an order niat only w being asked, His Lordship suggested leniency to the applicants. In ono case In which an order of foreclosure wns demanded, tho defendant had pnid $3,700 on a $0,800 purchase of land, and the solicitor asked for foreclosure within 30 dnys. "Thirty days Is all right in good times, but It is not enough today. Resides this mnn hns got a BUbstan tlal interest in this property. He must have three months," declared His Lordship. "But we have already shown him lell nicy. Twice we have agreed lo let him hnve time on Ids promise to pny, nnd each time be hus fulled," nrgued the solicitor. That, shows he is anxious lo Iio tho property;nml pay ymi oif If '10 can raise the umiicy. lle should Imve three months," roturtod tlio Judge. In another euse where a defendant had paid $1,(100 nn a $3,300 pur (■base, an enquiry showed that ' <■ hnd only been in default nlni'e;.luly if this yeur. "Thnt is a clear case for allowing tbe defendant tbree months In wblch to meet Ills obligations," nnid the Judge. 1 would feci like making lhe term longer, only t am aware tlml In many "f thtWO canes to defer Justice menus hardship to the plaintiff who bas obligations to n t, Just ns to grant justice means a hardship mi defendants. But I think all reasonable consideration should be shown where a plaintiff hns made substantial payments," said His Lordship during thc discussion, of the case. In another caso where three months were allowed, tbe defendants had paid $1,000 on a $3,150 purchase, and were $210 and interest in arrears. All tho above cases were in regard to agreements to purchase land. In the ease of mortgages which are threatened with foreclosure, there" is a statutory provision which allows u defendant six months between the time the order nisi is taken out and accounts passed and the time the final order for foreclosure is made.

WAR AND THE ADVERTISER The Westminster Gazette has a very Incisive article on thc subject of advertising during the war. it is too long for reproduction, but Its main argument ls well worth mentioning. It speaks of the ill effect produced since the outbreak of war by a number of firms who have ceased to advertise, thus dislocating the business machinery of thc country, giving less work to the printer, tlio paper-maker, thc hill-poster, thc advertising agents, Increasing distress and unemployment. Wiser firms havo adopted a different policy, viz., to reach out for new mar- , kets by additional advertising. The Westminster Gazette claims tbat business houses which have followed this policy arc doing their part to reduce the Inevitable harm of war. Tbey are the only ones who are living up to the motto, "Business as Usual," and they will come through the war strengthened and with enhanced reputation. At no time Is advertising more likely to poduce permanent results. New needs are being revealed by the war; markets wblch have bcen closed to us are now open; advertising Is part of the normal machinery of every prosperous business; It represents tbo cheapest, the quickest and the most certain means of acquiring new business. Prosperity will not come to the man who does nothing to evoke It, but to him who lets the world know that he Is In business. that he Intends to remain iu business, and that those who wish to do business will find him eager nnd willing in their service, ln an editorial during tha early part of the week The Victoria Colonist enforced this same view, and pointed to the fact that It was carrying more outside advertising tban ever before. This shows that those in the best position to judge that there I? business to be done, lt also showi? that they recognise advertising as the legitimate means 0! getting their share.

The valiant fighters and the hungry multitude must be fed. lf we allow ourselves to become stupl- iled and paralyzed with the contemplation of the appalling magnitude of the greatest struggle the earth has ever known, we sink to the lowest depth of uselessness; yet this condition prevails and is caused primarily by fear and apathy. Politicians try to show their patriotism by declaring that nothing must be considered but war. That is sheer nonsense when we see hungry multitudes willing to become producers and thereby provide the sinews of war, which if properly directed, their idleness instead of being as it is a source of weakness may be made a source of mighty strength. Hungry multitudes in droves hasten to the cities because there Is no employment for them on the land. Government paternalism has been sneered at by those of narrow perception and short slghtedness; yet the principle has been recognized as correct by thc greatest authorities, and practical experience has shown that it has lifted countries from poverty to affluence. For example, Denmark. True the principle will not convert the ordinary work-dodger into a thrifty industrious farmer, but it would give a chance for all to work and produce, and those who will not do that should not be allowed to eat. Can any reason be advanced why an attempt should not be made to utilize the thousands of acres of productive land now idle, to provide work for willing workers. Or why some assistance should not be given to the industrious settlers, poverty stricken in their endeavors to find the means ot subsist- ance during their life's work ot pulling stumps and preparing a farm or orchard, many such cannot afford to buy a pig or a cow, and yet arc surrounded by one of the finest cattle ranges on earth. Money advanced to such on their Improved land, with a lien on cattle the government might supply, would be one of the best investments for benefits to be derived by the farmer, the people and the government. It would attract and encourage people from the cities to the land. It would lift an enormous burden off the struggling hard-working settler and make htm prosperous and happy. It would provide a permanent source of Income for the government In many ways. It would attract and sustain attendant Industries which always follow prosperous agricultural operation the smokeless chimneys and silent factories would be no more. It wold provide work for Idle railway employees and thouaands ot others. It would provide the merchants with business from many sources now dried up. It would make thc country self- sustaining, Instead ot Importing and existing on borrowed capital. It would export and handle real prompted by common senae.

If this policy is approved by the people a pnper of ABSOLUTE rNDHPENDBN( K will be maintain ed; but this depends entirely upon the financial support accorded by the people. Owing to the extraordinary depression in business tbe financial aflairs of both papers have recently been unsatisfactory, ond it was decided by the proprietors of both papers to close the Prospector and to operate the Herald under the title of the "Cranbrook Herald and Pros pector," An agreeable arrangement was made with Mr, Thompson to retain his position as manning editor and the workmen to receive reiiuiner ation on the co-operative plan with an additional bonus if a pioiit was •nade by the business. For reasons i n mown Mr. Thompson on Wednes day morning locked up th.1 Heral.' office and too'; the keys to th-.- pr,- trietress—hence the reason for th lelay in getting out the pape* and the job printing work for which customers were waiting.

The church was prettily decorated with llowers and special music was furnished by the choir. That hnrd times does not eflect the residents of Moyie, may be seen by the fact that two of our citizens, Messrs. Rates nn 1 Nutt have recently n estet! in pianos for thoir homes.
