Subject "Impromptu speeches." A CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE. The Conservatives of Kootenay will not have to look far afield to find a candidate that can he elected In the coming campaign. 'i'he Prospector takes pleasure in publishing, what It believes Is the desire of every Conservative in the Kootenuy, and that is, that W. A. Maedonald of Nelson be the Conservative standard hearer in the coming Dominion elections. No other candidate would be so acceptable, and in our opinion Mr. Maedonald, should be nominated by acclamation .i he will consent to let his name be placed before the convention. "A SURE THING." In Kootenay, Conservative leaders, think that there is every prospect of a walk-over for the party in the coming Dominion elections, it is this spirit that will animate delegates when iu convention they present a united front in behalf of W. A. Muedonald of Nelson. This province wants men of the type of Mr. Maedonald, Martin Burrill, and such us we tind in the McBride government, to represent this provinc' iu tlie House id Commons, instead of the political tricksters and poll tlcians nf the "Big Seven" calibre. Nominate W. A. Maedonald, and it will be perfectly safe to guarantee his election, BASEBALL IN CRANBROOK. It is announced that a baseball league bus been formed in this city and the hearts of the fans and rooters have been mado glad, Three teams have been formed, and some excellent games, no doubt, will be seen on the diamond In Cranhrook during the season. A long and ambitious schedule has heen arranged, and thero seems to be no doubt but that some of the leading cities and towns in the district will send teams to compete for championship honors. BUSINESS AND PLEASURE A Large and Enthusiastic Gathering of Loyal Conservatives in the Edison Theatre VISIT OF PROVINCIAL ORGANIZER THE Young Men's Conservative Association liuve commenced in earn- .bu to prepare for the coming Dominion elections, und the large and enthusiastic gathering at the Edison Theatre on Wednesday evening was an indication of tbe active and aggressive part which this organization will take in tbe future political history of this district. lue meeting on Wednesday evening, which by-the-way, was one of the largest und most enthusiastic ever held in the district, was the tirst regular meeting of tne Association, and combined business with pleasure, during the evening's work. The social part of thu programme heing something new in the political line, something that will unite and create a continual interest in not only the political work, but that of itteuding each and every meeting of the association. ihe meeting was promptly called to order by tbe chairman, Mr. Vic. Rollins, who, before the work of the evening was commenced, invited those present wbo had not signed the membership roll to come forwaru and do so. Twenty-six young and nctlve and energetic Conservatives responded. We might say that Mr. Rollins, as chairman, is alive to tht fact that tbe business of the evening should i proceed as rapidly as possible that no waits, for committees to report, always tiresome to those present, but had a list of social functions at hand, which he immediately called into action, the work und pleasure of the evening always proceeding rapidly, thus creating a continual interest iu tbe programme The result, as expressed by all pre sent, being an interesting meettak from beginning to end. The records of a previous meet ini held at the Royal Hotel, for tht purpose of organization, was read und on motion of Messrs Cavin an< Jumieson, adopted as read. Th secretary, Mr. E. Home, is an enthi lustic worker in the Conservatlvi cause, is up-to-date in politic*. ..flairs, and assists the chairman 11 rapidly pushing forward the necesBb ry work of the evening. Mr. G. W. F. Carter, chairman c the committee on voting lists n ported progress, and announced tha. as the lists were completed from da, to day, typewritten copies were be ing made for the use of tbe assoch tion, that over 250 names of voterb, all good Conservatives had bee*. placed on the list. Mr. Wilmot, of the entertainmet. committee also reported, and ga* to the chairman a programme fo. the evening, which was most accept able and highly appreciated by thos. present. Un motion of G, T. Rogers, secretary of the senior association, a committee, consisting of two fron. the senior nnd two trom the junio: association were appointed to attent the Court of Revision, when thi voting lists are revised. The chairman, then introduced Mr. L. S. Eaton of Victorin, provincia organizer for the province. Mr. Raton is employed by the executive of the Provincial Conservative Asso ciation. His work is to so organ ize the party throughout the prov ince so that it never can be taken by surprise, but will be ready at any time to enter on a campaign with accurate knowledge of its strength, and also the strength of the politi cnl enemy. Mr. Eaton, said: "That he bad covered three of the seven ridings in the province. In the ridings of Victoria, Burrard, and Yale-Cariboo the organizations were being perfec ted as rapidly as possible, and that the party's prospect of victory in the coming elections amounted to a certainty from the efficient work now being done. Tbat he had not expected to find such interest taken, or active work ers on coming to Cranbrook. That .he work as laid out, and the organ iiiation was the most complete in the province, not excepting the big cities at the coast. That the field was being well covered by the enthu stastic and efficient local association and while this was true in u great degree iu other ridings, it was es pecinlly so in the Cranbrook riding Mr. Eaton congratulated the chair man and members of the Crunbrook association on the social part of the programme, that it was a revelation to him, and be wished tbat the executive of the different ridings could just get a "look in" and see how matters were conducted at Crunbrook, if they could, tbe te suit of the coming campaign wculd never be In doubt. Mr. J. A. Harvey, K. 0. then addressed thu meeting. He eongrutula ted the young men upon their very creditable association which 'hey had formed. He said:"That the firing line was the place for the young and ardent Conservative worker, while the old men, the senior association could and would provide the sinews of war, the young men must and have to bear the brunt of tbe hard work. Mr. Harvey then gave a brief history of the Conservative party, and the McBride administration since taking over tbe reins of provincial government. A SOCIAL SIDE ISSUE. Messrs Marshall and Corbett of the Edison Theatre presented a .series of moving pictures, which were instructive, interesting and amusing. Mr. James Bates recited a French bear story, then iu response to a hearty oncore gave a descriptive and amusing lecture on tbe Prodigal Son. Messrs F. W. Reeves, Joseph Ryan, Mr. Burns, and Clarence Washington sang several selections, each singer being heartily encored. RESOLUTION ADOPTED. After some discussion C. G. Jumieson seconded by A. G. Wilmott moved tbe following resolution. The following resolution was passed at a large and representative meeting of the Young Men's Conservative Association of Cranbrook on Wednesday, April 8th, l»08.

THE KOOTENAY"VALLEY. An Ideal Place Por The Home- Seeker To Locate. The valley of the Kootenay, contains large areas of farming lunds which are unsurpassed in fertility of any soil aud general advantages by any other part of the province, and can at all times furnish a home market for all that can be raised by the farmer, rancher nnd fruit grower, 'he country too, has an abundance f wood for fuel, building and commercial purposes, aud plenty of pure water everywhere. The mountain ides and foothills are covered with xtensive forests of pine, tamarac, and fir. The lumber industry has assumed immense proportions, and a ready market for this production is found in Alberta und Saskatchewan, and a large amount is being shipped to Chicago and other points in the United States. The future prosperity of the Koote nay valley is assured from an indus trial point of view by the existence of many falls on the rivers and streams which will be utilized with advantage in the creation of ecoiio mieul power when the development of tbe district takes place. In the mountain ranges, on either side of tho Kootenay river are found many mines in all stages of development, from the recently located prospect to the developed and dividend pnying mine. The mincrnl resources of the Crunbrook district nre unsurpassed. Immense areas ot toal and iron, large silver-lead mines in active operation, extensive placer deposits, copper and free- gold properties, which will In the future employ hundreds of miners, furnish a home market for all that can be produced on the farm. Every thing in the Kootenay valley is in proper keeping for the developing of the combined physical and mental energies of the miner and the farmer The Kootenuy valley nnd the Cran brook district is un ideal place for the home seeker to locate.

Mr. Arch Leitch was appointed as chairman, pro torn, and C. M. Edwards us secretary. Mr. Edwards stated tbe reasons why the game of this district should be protected, that in forming the Association ull men, including In dians, would have to conform with the law during closed seasons, hence that game which was in abundance several years ago, and about extinct would increase. Dr. J. H. King, addressed the meeting, representing the advisability of securing as large a representation as possible, and inviting membership from Moyie, Kimberley, Marysville, Wardner, Wasa and Fort Steele, that the meeting should he continued until next Saturday night April llth to enable due notice be given to all interested and wishing to become members, This was concurred in by every person present, and on motion Dr King, seconded by Mr. Pinkham, it was moved that due notice be given through the press, and that on Saturday evening April llth the gauizntion be completed, and the election ot officers, consisting of a president, two vice-presidents and a secretary he made.

I wish to take this opportunity of thanking my many friends and supporters throughout all Kootenny for the loyal friendship and cordial support they have always accorded me during the period I have had the honor of being their representative, something I shull appreciate all my life. Wishing you success and bespeaking for my successor the same sup port and consideration you have given me iu the past iu the cause or good government and the building up of a greater Canada, 1 remain yours faithfully, W. A. Galliher. Ottawa. April 3rd, I'JOH. The above announcement was ex pected by the majority of the elec tors in Kootenay. "Bii; Hill'* tran slated correctly the "hand writing on the wall." Defeat pure and simple would have been his fate, as will he the fate of his successor in the coming elections. "Big Bill's" toga is hanging on the wall, can the Liberals find a candidate big enough to till It? F. J. Deane ot the Daily News would be lost in its ample folds. If P. E. Simpson, the old man of Cranbrook tried it on there would be nothing in sight, only a voice, like one crying in the wilderness, "ram Independent" yet the toga of Kootenay Ilill should come to me. The Young Men's Conservative Association are to be congratulated on the success of this their tirst meeting, numbers, and the efficient manner in they have organized, ills In presentlug a social programme t< their members which Is attract.lv and interesting.

CLEANING HAY The Mayor and. City Council should make the necessary arrangements for a general clean-up of the eity A good plan would be to divide the city into districts, and there is no doubt but that men, women and children will take part in an effort to make Cranbrook a "spotless town." LUMBER INDUSTRY Tbe lumber Industry Ol the Clan brook district has assumed largo proportions. Logging operations dining the past winter was nearly or quite III a stamlstill owing lo the small demand for lumber, ami as almost every mill in the district had a large supply of logs on hand The eastern market Is getting into shape ami the demand is Ineren ling, and will soon be heavy enough to put into operation every mill in the district. During the past winter a lain- number of men have Im-cii engaged In cutting ties, many thousand hnve boon shipped, nnd there are a still larger number ready for shipment A large number will be floated down the St. Mary's and Kootenay rivets to Wardner for shipment Apples, Then Variety, Cultivation, drafting. And The Locality Best Suited For Productive Growth. The apple is the most important oal useful fruit in all civilized parts »f the north temperate zone where it an be grown success!ully, while other fruits are, m a greater or less degree, regarded as luxuries, the apple Is part ol our regular diet aud much would this wholesome and delicious fruit be missed were we uuu- ble to procure it. Tl limn ol the cultivated apple is wrapped In mystery lt is sup- It I. however, that it had its be emmiiL' ia the wild apple of Europe Hut there is im evidence tu show iiieii the Improvement began, nor trhen the fruit reached the sine, color ami quality ol what is regarded as a good apple today. It is known, however, that at tin- beginning uf lhe Christian era, the Romans eul tlvuted a lew varieties of apples whicli might compare favorably with -imu' that are t:rown at the present ti Although the apple is men tloned iu Holy Scripture many years prior to that period, it is now thought that the word referred to Mother fruit, or other fruits, and ot what is now called an apple. While the range of silecessful dilate ul many other fruits is compar lively limited, the apple has a ery wide one in tlie temperate, cli mates o| tbe old and new worlds ami is able to accommodate itself to conditions under which many other en Iti va ted fin its would not thrive,. It is, however, in the temperate part of America where it reaches the highest state ot perfection, and where there is an ever increasing area devoted to tliis fruit. Nairn*] varieties ol apples are very numer mis. being, probably, over 2.600 in number, so that every taste, no matter how eccentric, may be satis- lied, and a selection made of those best suited to a particular person or placu. It is a very attractive fruit, the red und yellow, which are the predominant colors, vary much in hade and prominence. No other fruit, probably, has so long a season as the apple. By a judicious selection of varieties; apples maybe had in good condition the whole vein round, and now that the system of cold storage has been so perfected, some ,,i tbe best varieties, which, under ordinary circumstances would not keep until spring, muy be had iu good order late m the lollowing summer. The profits from apple growing muy he large or may be small; much depending on the varieties planted, the markets, ami most of all un the man and his methods of growing this fruit. Some varieties begin to hear paying crops when five years planted. Most ot the best sorts, do not bear heavily for ten years or more. Tbe profitable life of an up pie tree will depend greatly on the Itmnte it is grown in. the culture given, and the variety. There are. however, other factors which intlu- nce it. In the hest apple districts I America, profit ft ble crops are gathered from trees sixty to one hundred years of age. INTRODUCTION OF VARIETIES, Many varieties of apples have beeu tested in Canada and the Cnl ted States since these countries were tirst settled, and during the last century, especially the number hus increased very rapidly. These have either been introduced from Greut Britain and Europe or have heen originated in America. It has been found that a much larger proportion of the varieties which have originated in America, are profitable sorts to grow than of those from other countries, and iu Canada are much the same, except in the very coldest part of the country, where apples can be grown, and there the Russiau varieties take a predominant place, hut this is probably because the colder parts of the contry have not been settled so long, and hardy seedings of value are. on this account, not so often met with. Of the apples which are succeeding best at Ottawa, nearly all the most profitable summer vurieties are ot Russian origin, but most of the hest autumn and winter sorts originated in America. MINERAL FLOAT. Cold is the only deity before which universal man has ever bowed. There seems to be no doubt but that the Cranbrook district has a great future, and some day will rank with any of the minim; towns in the province. A large amount of ore is blocked out iu the Sullivan mine ready for sloping. Tlie business men of Cranbrook are wide awake to the best interests of the mining industry of the Crunbrook district. It is reported that the government has shown a disposition to eitend the bounty on lead. We truut, in the interests of the silver lead mines nf this district that Ihe report has some foundation. Snow in the mountains, and au early sprini: has made glad thr heart of the placer miner in this district. Nothing will more tally conserve the interests of the mining industry than the application of correct meth ods in securing capital for invest ment. and tbe development of mines ia this district, The absence of adequate transpor tation tends to make tbe work of development, mi prospects, slow and expensive in Ibis district.

The editor of that paper is a Liberal because he was born n Democrat. Because he is a Liberal, he does not take kindly to or like anyone who is apt tu crack the political head of the candidate of that party in Kootenay at the coming Dominion election, nnd lie sneers at Rill Davidson of Sandon, who has been nominated by the Socialists and Lubor men. He suys: "Bill quit work "when he went into politics (he was "elected to the legislative assembly "in 1903), und has never shown any , "inclination to go to work since." Will the editor of the Crnnbrook Herald tell the readers of his barndoor sheet how mnny days' work "Rig Rill" Galliher has done since he wns elected to parliament, in December 1900? Empire, Prince Rupert. Jolin Houston has given fair notice to the Grand Trunk Pacific not to monkey witli bis mineral claim in the tuu ii uf Prince Rupert. That claim is liable tu become the most notorious one on the continent. John haa already allowed thirty of his friends to squat on it rent free.
