The presence of Indian horses on the ranges outside their own reserves Jack seemed to be an acute one, being New Bridges To Be Built $50,000 Will Be Erected This Summer ROADS OPENED SOON Monday evening the first of what is proposed to be regular monthly meetings of the Cranbrook Retail Merchants' Association was held in the Y.M.C.A., at which there was a good representation of the members present. During'the evening many matters of importance to the merchants were discussed, it heing generally agreed that the session had heen a very profitable one. President A. D. Bridges after the ading of the minutes of the last regular meeting, read to the members an outline of the accomplishments of the Association for for the past year, as well as a lengthy list of matters which the provincial executive hoped to get through this year. From the reading of this report the members were convinced that the association had been the means of gaining for them some things which meant the saving of many hundreds of dollars. Among many items considered by the meeting were the following: A grant of $10.00 per quarter was made to the Salvation Army from the Association. In the consideration of the above matter the information was given out by the secretary that the membership in the association had been increased by one over that of last year. A letter was read from some lo cal poultry keepers objecting to the practice of canvassing the merchants for orders for eggs and poultry. thereby working a hardship on local dealers. The matter will be taken up with the parties interested. Duat Nuiiance After a lengthy discussion of the nuisance already existing from the dust on Baker and other streets, during which many suggestions were advanced, the meeting finally moved that the council be petitioned to take immediate steps to abate the nuisance before it became worse.

From the attendance and enthusiasm manifested it is not difficult to predict a very successful season. In addition to the ungsters who are expecting to make up the teams this season, representatives from the service clubs, Amateur Athletic Association, and thers were present. Elect Officer* Art Wallace took thc chair at thc commencement of the meeting and xplalned the purpose for which it was called nnd organization was then proceeded with. Officers were elect- 1 for the lacrosse Club as follows: President Dr. A. K. Cameron Vfce-Prea. Rev. M. S. Blackburn" Sec..Treas. James MacFarlane Dr. Cameron was also elected the representative from the Lacrosse rlub on. the Cranbrook Amateur Athletic Association. From the number of young players [■resent, it was possible to arrange for at least three teams, aa last year, these being the Tigers. Lions and Cub-. The captains appointed for the teams were Messrs. Art Wallace, J. Dixon and J. MacFarlane. In addition to these teams, it is proposed to organize the younger boys attending public school into three teams, so that games can be arranged for the youngsters as well. Art Wallace has already taken this work in hand and will be assisted by some of the teachers. There was some discussion as to .he grounds on which lacrosse will be played and while the present "status •f the Athletic grounds in the city is somewhat unsettled, it is stated that •he matter will without question be irranged to that lacrosse and other sports will be played there this summer just a.* usual.

The gross earnings were |101,826,207.11, os compared with $90,343,867.75 for tbe first seven months of 1925. Unofficial estimates prepared by the authorities of the Department of Commerce, Washington, estimated that Americans visiting Canada this year would spend approximately $190,000,000. This estimate was intimated to be very conservative and that it was more than likely tbat the amount would exceed the $200,- 000,000 mark. Announcement was made recently over the signature of E. N. Todd, freight traffic manager, Canadian Pacific Railway, of the appointment of D. A. Wanklyn as Industrial Commissioner of the Railway, with offices in Montreal. Mr. Wanklyn replaces Graham W. Curtis, who has resigned, to fill the position of general manager for Montreal Rail and Water Terminals, Limited. Otto H. Kahn, chairman of the hoard of directors of the Metropolitan Opera Company, accompanied by a party of internationally known financiers of New York, visited the National Exhibition at Toronto recently. Mr. Kuhn, who is perhaps the leading art and music patron of the United States, addressed a luncheon of the directors of the Exhibition on September 2nd, the day of the Exhibition, which was set aside as "Music Day." It is understood that purchases in Canada of 5,000 railway cars may result from the visit of tbe engineering expert, Mr. Vandergulcht, und the Transport Commissariat's representative, Mr. Baronsky, who have been delegated by the Soviet Republic to investigate the possibility of securing this number in Canada. They huve also been instructed to make a study of the organization of the Canadian railway shops and the repair methods in general. » Three wolf cubs were caught recently near Lake Doucelle in Northern Ontario by Arthur Beauvuis, well-known driver of the Chateau Frontenuc dog team at Quebec, and will be trained by Beauvais for the harness. Ht is confident that by mingling the wolves with huskie puppies for several months they will lose some of their wolfish nature and make an attractive addition to the Chateau team. Beauvais states that, while wolves have endurance, they have not the "heart" of a huskie dog. Two world's swimming records were established at the Crystal Gardens swimming pool at Victoria recently, when Ethel McGarry, of New Vork, swam 880 yards in 12 minutes and 41 seconds, or nine seconds better than the previous woman's record for this event; and when Agnes Gerahty, also of New York, clipped five and two-fifths seconds off the previous record for 200 yards, by completing the distance in three minutes and 12 and three-fifths seconds. Celebrating the change in name of the historic Dominion Express Company to that of the Canadian Pacific Express Company, a street parade in Montreal was held September first, the day of the change in name, consisting of every description of Express vehicle, new and old.

The matter of distribution has become as important a point in modern bidding as the cards themselves, and no good player bids no- trump on high cards only. In addition to the high cards, he must also have a favorable distribution. Ii be hasn't, he prefers the suit bid to no-trump. One type of hand that always works out better at a suit bid than no-trump ii the one thut contains three four card ■uitii uud a singleton. The follovaog is • good example: Hearts—* A, 1,8, 4 Clubs— A, IC, 10,7 Diamonds — 7 Spades— A, 8, 5,4 With this hand as dealer, bid one dub and if your partner bids one no-trump, bid two heart*. It is a perfect example of thc type of hand that plays better at • buit bid than no-trump. There is another type of hand where the suit bid is preferable to the ao- tnmp. In the following hand: Hearts— A, 7 Clubs —A, K, 9 Diamonds — 10, 8 Spades — Q, 10, 7,6,5,4 tlie proper hid is one spade, not one no- trump. Here is another example: Hearts —K, 10,9,8,6,4 Clubs— A, K, 5 Diamonds — none Spades —A, J, 10,7 The proirer bid is one heart, not one no-trump. Avoid the latter bid if the hand contains a singleton or void suit. Here ate two hands that illustrate anothcrprinrjpleihai should be thoroughly tmdcolund. Supiwse your partner bid one Spade, second hand passed and you held the following hand: Hearts— A, K, 10,7,6 Ciulw — 10, 7, 6 Dniiwiuls — 9, 8, 4, i Sjwdcs — A Would yuu bid two hearts or pan? You should bid two hearts by all means. The hinglclon s|t,tdt* is a danger point, even though It Is the ace. Never pass your partner's bid when you have a singleton of his mih, uulrss you have a worthless li.ind nM id iiut i liable bid of your own. The other hand is of a different type but illusti*U-» lhe unu* prutdple. **" jp- poee your partner bids-one heort,a hand passes, what is yon with tbe following band? Hearts — 5, 4, 2 Clubs —J, 4 Diamonds — 10, (L t Spades — A, K, 10,1,1 You should bid one spade. So i players bid four card suits noma . that you should not lose a chance to show thc other major suit, even wfcfc three little cards of yow partner's ink. Such a holding is ao real support fav a four card suit. With three to an honor or four or more of your partner's aail you should pass. The modern theory of bidding is to give accurate information whenever possible and these haadMM good illustrations.

Z bid twn clubs and ull passed, A opened the seven of spades. Y played the trey, B the ace and Z the four. B then led back the spades, Y winning the trick with the queen. How should Z so plan the pby that he can make gnme if the cards ase divided a certain way? The only potable way for Y-Z to make game in this hand is to find thc singleton queen of clubs and thc queen, jack of diamonds alone in thc hands of either opponent. If tbat ii true, 7. should lead thc king of clubs at trick three. If this lead drops thc singleton queen of clubs, Y-Z wtll only lose one club trick. Then if either A or B has thc queen, jack of diamonds alone, Y-Z will nut lose a diamond trick.

Another business matter brought forward was that of painting nnd renovating the club bath-house, which was also attended to.

George Hoadley, minister of agriculture for Alberta. Mr. Hoadley was successful in his negotiations with W. H. Lyno, British Columbia inspector, in securing a compromise with regard to whnt was looked upon as discrimination against Alberta and Alberta florists. Relief Measures The relief which has been offered by the British Columbin government j through W, II, Lyne, chief inspector, I reads as follows: "Provided the commercial greenhouses iu Alberta are inspected once every three months by qualified | Albeita government inspectors, Brit- Ish Columbia permit tags will he j supplied to the greenhouse men who can present certificate*! confirming, .-uch inspections, and that the plants ' in the greenhouses referred to are free from pest or disease. The permit tags will authorize the trans- i portation company to deliver direct to the consignee without further in- , pection of the shipments to which j the tags were attached, the right he- j ing reserved to cancel or refuse permit tugs to anyone found abusing thc use of same. Regulation! lhe Same "With regard to outdoor trees, shrubs, plants or bulbs, imported | into British Columbia from Alberta | nurseries, the regulation already in ] effect will be continued, with the possibility of increasing the number j of places at which such stock can be inspected on arrival in British Columbia, in place of its having to be sent to Vancouver. At present, I the only place for inspecting such Stock, other than Vancouver, is Cran-1 brook, subject to permits, which must be obtained from this office by thc consignee." With regard to this n number of j Cn'gary florists huve expressed their j satisfaction at the tentative urrunge- j ments, which are regarded as beingj quite satisfactory. !

HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF COAL FROM PASS MINES FOR C.P.R. The Coleman Journal suys: "According to reliable information to hand, this week may see the placing in the steam coal fields of The Pass j very large coal contracts by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

THURSDAY, MARCH 31st. 1927 STILL IX THL RUNNING DECADENT England, criticized as being slow and conservative in Iter methods, has demonstrated this week that there are still some avenues of present day endeavor in which she is yet supreme. A British built car, with a Hritish driver, iu speed tests carried out on the Florida sands, ran a two-mile stretch at an average speed of two hundred arid seven miles per hour, and at one time reached a speed ten miles per hour more than that. This is an inconceivable speed, and even if il is beyond tlu- range of practical use just at this juncture, it leads tu interesting conjectures as lo what the future of the motor industry will be in the direction of speed. Nor was it long since the achievements of Hritish airmen, in completing flights half way across the world anil hack, heralded the fact abroad lhat England did not seem to be very far behind the most advanced achievements in this direction. So long as a nation can thus keep iu the van of mechanical aud inventive practice, there seems to be little danger of ils really going to the bow-wows, as some calamity-howlers would lead people to believe. * * # * * TH1;. Spokesman-Review of Spokane comments very caustically on tbe proposal of the H.C, government lo open a liquor store in Vancouver late in thc evenings, in order "to compete with the bootleggers." Obviously, says the Spokane daily, the next step will be to open the liquor stores twenty-four hours a day. seven days a week, since the illicit dealer is not restrained by any such niceties as confining his nefarious business to stated hours. The restrictions as to selling to minors would also have to be abolished in order to meet the bootlegger ou his own ground, and so "compete" with him, says the American paper with scarcely- veiled sarcasm. * ♦ * THE NEWCOMER IT is realized today that the farmers of Western Canada can dn more for the agricultural development of their country through immigration than any other factor. Various agencies exist for the securing of the new citizen aud bringing them to the country. It is only thc people of the community to which they come that can assure that their feel are firmly planted there, that they develop contentedly, and remain. A cordial reception goes a long way in effective transplantation. Intelligent teaching by established farmers and others develops the raw newcomer into a thorough-going Canadian citizen. Pair treatment in employment makes it reasonably sure lie will want to remain iu the district. Assistance In establishment turns him into a producer in the community into which he was introduced. Encouragement in his early efforts will hasten his progress to independence, where he is the community's and the country's hest asset. ***** THE prohibition association of this province has embarked on au ambitious program which is explained by its slogan, "A bone-dry Hritish Columbia by 1929." It is issuing a new publication which is given the catchy title nf "Dry-By-'Ninc," and iu its foreword justifying the appearance of the new journal, it states that contrary to the declaration of the brewing interests, that no further contributions will be made for protection and assurance. "Dry- By-'Ninc" will offer both to the people of thc province. The new paper is appealing frankly to the public at large whether wet, dry or slightly damp.

H. F. HELMSING RESIGNS AS INDIAN AGENT AT KAMLOOPS; ILL HEALTH "Great regret will be felt in the community," says the Kamloops Sentinel in a tecent issue, "by the announcement that II. F. Helmsing, Indian agent, lias had to resign his appointment owing to increased health disability, brought on by war service. As u lieutenant in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve. Mr. Helmsing, who was engaged in mine sweeping, patroling and convoying, incurred such exposure from weather that ever since he has been in poor health, steadily getting worse. Since he cnme to Kamloops in 11*24, all his energies were required for his work, and be has been unuble to take part in any social work. "Mr, Helmsing became Indian agent in the East Kootenays nt Fort Steele in 1921, succeeding R. I.. T. Galbraith, who was superannuated after 31 years' service; the headquarters were later removed to Cranbrook. Later he succeeded W. C. Dallin here. The agency here in. eludes 103 reserves and 2300 Indians. Mr. Helmsing has been very successful in his rrk here, and to leave his duties at this time is u greut wrench to him. The agency extends from Salmon Arm to three miles cast of Lytton, four miles north of Chu Chua nnd to Coldwater, south of Merritt. "For two and a half years after the war, from which he was invalided in 1917, Mr. Helmsing lectured for the Navy Leogue, in which work he did fine and thorough service. "Mr. Helmsing and liis family expect to remove to Vancouver about the second week in April, his duties concluding on March 31. No successor has been appointed yet. Mr3. Helmsing will also be greatly missed; as a pianoforte player she holds a niche all her owri in this community, and her artistic services have always been most willingly offered to charity and other entertainments." Mr. and Mrs. Helmsing made many friends at Cranbrook during their stay here, who will unite in expressing the hope that Mr. Helmsing's health will soon be restored. th. by the polfcrs over I original deficit. Several who ex- j pressed their views on the matter ' felt that some guarantee should be ] given by the Tennis Cluh. K. K. I Stewart and A. B. Sanborn huve of- ; fered to back the Tennis t'lub for the required amount. It was then ■decided to amalgamate the two clubs under the head of The Fernie Coun- | try Club. ! The following utlicer* were then [elected: Hon. President—W. R. Wilson. Hon. Viec-Prendent—Sandy Watson. President—II. I.. Hayne. Vice-President—A. B. Sanborn. The executive of the new club will contain eight members besides the president and vice-president, ! "Well, then," snid Tommy, "I'll be there next Sunday. I've been i wanting to have a fi^ht with him i for the last three weeks!" Evenly Matched A grinning crowd stood around the two unconscious men lying on the sidewalk. "What's the matter here?" demanded a policeman who had rushed up, attracted by the crowd. "No, nothing," replied one of the bystanders. "A real estate man was trying to sell a Florida lot to thc motor car salesman who waa trying to sell him a car. They were pretty evenly matched, for they both dropped from exhaustion at the same moment." TENNIS AND GOLF CLUBS JOINED INTO FERNIE COUNTRY CLUB The annual Fernie Golf Club meeting was held there last week, about twenty being present. The financial statement showed that the club was facing n rather large deficit this yenr. This wos caused, however, by the extra amount of work done in lengthening the course to make it regulation size, and not by a lessening of the membership. With the course in good shape it is felt that the golf expenses should be much smaller this yeur. A long discussion took place over the proposed amalgamation of the Fernie tennis and golf clubs. The total cost of installing and equipping three tennis courts and laying u pipe line from the city main was estimated at $9,000. It was expected that about $600 would be received from the tennis members in dues. That left a balance of $400 to be carried Sayingi From the Talmud The liar is punished when he tells the truth, for then nobody believes him. The cat and the rut are friends over a carcass. Keep away from well meaning fools. Silence is the hedge that guards wisdom. Too many captains sink the ship. A man will see anybody's leprosy but his own. If a thief is wanting for an opportunity, he believes himself an honest man. Do the best you ean, that's all the angels nre doing now-a-days. Certain Inducement! "Tommy," said the chureh visitor, "why don't you come to our Sunday- school? I am sure you would find a lot of your little friends there." Tommy hesitated for a moment. "Does a red-heuded, freckle.faced chap named George Billings go to your school?" he asked at length. "Yes, he dues," replied the visitor. ANNOUNCING!

He nlio had the distinction of being the first '-ne of the Upper Kootenay Indium; to take up residence on what is now the Columbia Lakes reserve, iu.-t to tin.* south of tlie village of Windermere, Ths was in 1882. While since time was prior to tbat date, tho Kootenay Indians used these parts as hunting grounds and range for tlieir cattle, yet most of their residence- was spent to the south in wandering!- throughout tjie southeastern part of what is now the prov- 'nee of Uriii-di Columbia, out on tlio Tobacco Plains of the United Stutes ind across at tho proper season to hunt the buffalo on the prairies. Tatley is survived hy his wife, an aged woman of 83, as well us muny relations. His death took place on tbe reserve, and his burial followed tho day after in the Kootenay ce moor the Church of Rome, not far from his home, K moht enjoyable ^veiling's entertainment was afforded lust week to those lovers of urt nnd of the work: of Charles Dickens, who were able to attend in the auditorium of the con solidated school, when several readings were given by Mr. G. Victor T. Ackroyd, director of the Dickons' Fellowship of Vancouver, aided by local artistes who kindly gave support. The title chosen for Mr. Ack- royd's part was "A Great Victorian," or "A Night With Dickens," which title guve the chairman, the Rev. K. G. Thatcher, a theme for his opening remnrks, in which, in a most interesting manner, ho spoke of the great literary lights of that period, and of how he had onco—as a child—heard tbo Immortal "Hoz" give a reading in Egyptian Hall, London. In his closing remarks. Mr. Thatcher ex- plumed that the proceeds from the collection which would Inter be taken up, would go towards the funds of the Lake Windermere District Public Library, an undertaking he correctly described as a most worthy institution ol its kind, well worthv of generous support. Thi;;, it may be added, it received at the hands of those present. The readings given hy Mr. Ackroyd covered a wide range of the famous author's writings, in addition to an able introduction touching on Dickens' life and achievements. The selections were Miss Sheppard; Miss Larkins; and Uriah Heap from David Copperfied; Sydney Carton's speech before being guillotined, from "A Tale of Two Cities "; a part touching on the death of Little Noil from the "Old Curiosity Shop"; the story of Richard Douhbledick, from "The Seven Poor Travellers," with a concluding reading of the comic piece entitled "Tlu* Episode of the Back Kitchen Chimney."

After disposing of the minutes of the previous meeting, nnd the rending of some correspondence from the president of the Central Association, the delegates nnd alternates to the nominating convention to he held there shortly were appointed unanimously. Resolutions were passed recommending tliat the convention be held in (!olden, at tho Mil!

Co. in tbis vicinity have attained an international bearing: Boston.—While there is a comparatively small ownership in tbis country in the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company of British Columbin, it bus suddenly developed into one of the most Important enterprises of ils kind in Canada or for that matter in fhe world. It is primarily a leud nnd zinc producer, lho 1025 output huving been 880,- 000,000 pounds of lend, i)S,000,000 pounds of zinc uud -1,71)0,000 ounces of silver, The rise iii the stock in lho past three yeurs hus been nothing short of sensational. There are 1)07,011! shares outstanding antl those have advanced from $.'U.lir> in lD-.'i to a height this year of $256. Rumor hus it that the Canadian Pacific Railway which owns 231;413 shares hns a book profit on its investment of no less than $48,000,000. , Early in H>2i) when the stock was selling around $50 a group of bankers approached the Cnnndian Pacific with the idea of purchasing its holdings. "We are not sellers at any prifie." The net income of the Cosolidated Mining and Smelting company in 1920 after deductions for depletion, depreciation, contingent reserves, taxes and $2,274,771 for property additions, was $8,G15,735 equal to $17 a share. This compares with $6,218,- 843 after deducting $3,560,749 for additions to property in 1925. The only senior security is ? 1,750,000 j bonds of a subsidiary on which the j Company guarantees principnl and I interest. ■ The company states that the in- j creased production and reduced operating costs in 11)26 more than offset j the drop in metal prices during the , year. It has beon suggested that the i shares should be split up but the di- l rectors du not regard such action , either necessary or prudent at the '. present time. An analysis of the ; shareholdings at the close of 1926 i disclosed the fact that exclusive of I the Cnnndian Pacific approximately '200,000 shares are held by about j 2,000 persons—an average of about , 100 shares per stockholder.

This is largely attributed to tbe children who .are allowed to attend whist drives, dances, picture shows, etc. The pupils are so tired out when they go to school that it is practically impossible to grasp the problems that come before them. The Board has sent out a letter to the parents hoping that they will make an effort to assist the teachers in this matter. They point out that the standard *of education now required in the public and high schools is so high that it is necessary for the pupils in the high school nnd in the upper grades of the public school to do a considerable amount of home work; and if this is not done, in many cases a pupil has to repeat and the ambition to succeed is either lost or very considerably weakened. The school trustees, in the interests of the children and the ratepayers of Fernie, therefore strongly urge the parents not to allow their children of school age to attend public dances and whist drives at any time, and to restrict attendance at picture shows to Fridny and Saturday nights. GOLF AND TENNIS CLUBS AT KIMBERLEY READY FOR SEASON The nnnual meeting of the Kimberley Golf Club was held in the C. M. & S. Co. office, Kimberley, last week.

As soon as the snow is off the ground work will be commenced un the course, getting the two new holes put in and on improvements on the present fairways and greens of the course.

For General Admission Purposes For Sale at THE CRANBROOK HERALD OFFICE Great meetings had been held in Montreal addressed by Mercier nnd Laurier, and the rising spirit of sectarianism end sectionalism seemed to be fanned into a flame. The French members of the Dominion Govren- ment—Chapleau, Sir Hector Lange- vin and Sir Adolph Caron—were uig- ed to resign and the first-named was formally offered the leadership of what was to be called "Le Parti N'a- toinale." He refused in ringing terms. Mercier accepted with equal eloquence and the battle was one between parties nnd leaders alike. Leads to Changes An important change in the situation as compared with past politicnl conflicts was very apparent. Hitherto the Roman Catholic Church hud been in antagonism to or antagonized, the principles of Liberalism in the province. Now a general split in the Conservative party seemed inevitable from the fact of Mercier winning into the ranks of his new "National Partv," the Ultramontes, or extreme ecclesiastical element. This was Mercier with an extreme religious and racial party going under the name of Liberal, or "Le Parti Nationale." Meanwhile Riel, the evil genius of all thia disturbance, had suffered for his crimes upon the scaffold at Regina. During 1886 the Provincial elections took place and Mr. Mercier flung himself into the fray with firy eloquence and force. He battered at the hitherto invulnerable walls of local Conservativism with all the power of a position which included appeals to racial prejudice and religious feeling, and, in the end, won the day. Mr. Tallion did not immediately resign, but on the meeting of the assembly was defeated, and Mercier became Prime Minister on January 27, 1887. It was a striking victory for a man who had never held office except for a few months in the July ministry of 1879 and who had faced the eloquent Chapleau and all the organized power of Quebec Conservatism. The meteor now for a time stayed [tl course, and the public wondered what would follow a conflict which had resulted in the overthrow of old parties, the breaking of old political und ecclesiastical ties, the raising of the evil spirits of race an- tagonisn. and religious prejudice. Far-Reaching Reiultt .Meanwhile, the Riel question had precipitated a very important crisis in Dominion affairs. As the tide of Mercierlsm in Quebec rose higher and higher it looked as if the Conserva- tlve party was to be submerged in ii')inin:on as well as provincial matters. Even the magnetic personality of Sir John A. Macdonald appeared to hnve lost its influence in this wild war of words over thc death of ;t weak and worthless rebel. lie wna freely denounced by French-Canadian speakers as "the enemy of our nationality, and was burned, in effigy, nt Montreal, whilst Chapleau, Langevin. nnd Caron were bracketed together in public resolutions as "traitors to the country." Riel had come to be regarded almost as a hero, and one of the political martyrs of his race. The province of Quebec was to bc stirred up by Mr. Blake against those who had committed whnt 30,- OMi people on the Champ de Mars in Montreal declared to be "an act of inhumanity and cruelty unworthy of a civilized nation." Harsb Opinion! The flames of sectarian nnd sectional passion became so pronounced that even Sir John Macdonuld, hopeful and optimistic ns he naturally was, feared his government would hardly weather the storm. "Le Monde," a French Conservative paper, said nfter the execution of Riel, and in doing so voiced the general sentiment of the press of Quebec, thut "Fanacticism wants a victim." The "Toronto Mail," the old-time Conservative organ, but now verging upon direct opposition to the Government, threw fuel on the rising flames by declaring that "the conquest will have to be fought over again" and that the result would do away with the privileges of 1763. The "Orange Sentinel," in reply to the bitter articles of its Quebec contemporaries, declared before the execution that if the government dared not hang the rebel the day would not he far distant when "the call to arms will again resound throughout the Dominion."

Pfajnkiaai tvtrywhsis wmmymA m\ The United Church is the last, but not the least, of the local churches to take its turn in reporting its ac-1 tlvitles in this column. One is' tempted to give a bird's-eye view of the world-wide work of Canada's, largest Protestant church, with her; industrial, medical, educational and j evangelistic missions in Africa, India, I China, Japan und South America.' ] Suffice to say that all the widespread j work is progressing favorably, under I the guidance of God, and with the ) enthusiastic support of the missionar- I les and people who now see the wall , of denominntionnlism breaking- down, j The sectarian spirit is going rapidly, and in no place so quickly as in the foreign field, where the divisions of our faith have been a real stumbling I block to the success of missionary enterprise. | But here in Cranbrook, our church ia carrying on mission work among the Chinese, under the trained leadership of Rev. C. Y. Chow, Chinese pastor. This work was opened in Cranbrook many years ago by the Methodist Church, nnd ia continued by the United Church. Regular preaching services are held on Sundays. Bible classes and prayer meetings, and a good Sundny school for the Chinese children testify to the | excellence of the work of the local pastor. A few weeks ago the lantern was . used effectively. The picture of Ben Hur was shown, and through an interpreter the message of the Christ was given to an appreciative audience which packed the mission hall. There are a number of loyal Christian families among the local Chinese. The children of the mission guve a fine exhibition of their training lately when they assisted at the pugennt given in the church. Their nction songs were highly appreciated. Amid all the turmoil and fighting in China at present, when we feel that owing to past misunderstandings and greed, the pence of the world is at stake, it is good to know that some interest and kindness is being shown by the Christian church here in our own city, to a people who may ' yet hold the control of the world's • civilization. Anyone is at liberty to ' visit the work of this mission, and , those who care to assist will be welcomed by the pastor. The Sunday School This department of our church is one of the most successful and interesting. We have thirty teachers and officers, and an enrollment of two hundred and sixty-six scholars. For the past six months the average | attendance has been two hundred t and twenty-three. Under the leadership of Mr. G. J. Spreull and Mr. L. Lundy, the work has grown and de- veloped, until at present the accomodation is taxed to capacity. There is a high standard of teaching efficiency, a good library is well patronized. The orchestra, under thc leadership of Mr. J. M. Clark, has added some new members and gives real service to the musical part of the Sunday school work. The influence of such work la uncalculable, and parents can be assured that the children, by the faithful work of the teachers and the general esprit* de corps of the school, are receiving a training in the elements of the Christian faith which will have a lasting effect upon young lives. Mission Bands Mra. G. D. Carlyle, assisted by Mies Ivy Detail, has been doing splendid service among thc younger children. Forty-five boys and girls are enrolled in the two bands. Some $160.00 was raised last year, and Christmas hampers and parcels were sent to hospitals and Indian schools, this being largely the work of the children themselves. Three thousand Sunday school papers and magazines sent to lonely settlers was another of the good bits of work done. A most valuable piece of training in unselfish service is being carried on In this department. C.G.l.T.

The hall was appropriately decorated with streamers of blue and white, and Cupids and hearts were conspicuously placed at intervals around the hall. The stage was very prettily arranged, a canopy of streamers being overhead. Tables j for gifts were placed on the stage., and were tastily decorated with cut flowers. About one hundred invited i guests attended and showered the' bride-to-be with all manner of beau- tlful and useful gifts. A dainty I lunch wus served to all, after which the Yahk orchestra furnished music for all those present who wished to dance.

The ideal of the four-fold life is continuously held up before the girls, Plans for greater and wider service were discussed on Tuesday evening of this week by Miss A. Fountain, the Provincial Girls' Work Secretary, when she addressed the combined gioups of all the churches. It is not easy to sum up the result of such work, but it is of the sort which makes for strong, intelligent, Christian womanhood. This supremely is surely the aim of all education and Christian effort. It is worthy of our best support. Boy Scout* Between forty and fifty boys are in the various depaitments, including Cubs. Scouts and Rovers. Into this ■xeellent work Mr. Martin Harris, assisted by Murray McFarlane have 'hrown themselves with enthusiasm. The credit of the fine showing of this work must bc given to Mr. Harris, who for many years has labored unceasingly with the boys of our city. Plans are now being considered for summer camp. It is trusted that with the co-operation of the service clubs, a permanent camp will soon be established. The active assistance of men interested in work among our Boys is asked. Men'* Brotherhood This is another of the good things in the work of the local church, it runs along the lines of the service clubs, and has a membership of about thirty. Monthly meetings for fellowship and supper are held. Help has been given to many of the needy families of the city, and assistance in ull departments of the work of the church. At the present time the Hrotherhood is planning to join the Beaver Brotherhood, whose aim Is "work for boys," and whose head- quarters ure in Fernie. The executive wilt make a trip there shortly, to complete arrangements. Tonight (Thursday) the Brotherhood will be hosts to the boys of the church, and a good time is expected, when about a hundred "Duds and Lads'' will make merry together. Young Peop|«« Society Since its beginning last fall, this group has kept up regular weekly meetings, with an average attendance of thirty-five. Religious, literary, educational and social In its outlook, the young folks have spent splendid times together. As an example of its activity, the recent concert of Miss Amy Fleming was carried out with success. On Monday evening last, Mr. G. J. Spreull gave a most interesting account of the evolution of prison and punishment. The success of this young people's movement has been largely due to the leadership of Mr. F. Buck, who has spared no pains to make these meetings helpful and educative. Next Sunday, the young people will have charge of the evening service, when Mr. Buck will be the speaker. The "League of Nations" will be the topic for the next meeting, and the final meeting for the year will be held in the church on Tuesday, April 12th, when Rev. James Evans, of Kimberley, will speak on "The Spirit of Adventure." -*• + + The regular work of the church has been well sustained. Attendances are good, and the spirit is optimistic and friendly. The work of the Women's Missionary Society, the Ladies' Aid, the Young Women's Auxiliary, and the choirs, junior and senior, have all played their part in making our church one where cheerfulness abounds, where lives are being transfigured by the spirit of Christ, and the gospel of reality and power is known and felt.

The fortunate awakening of a neighbor by the glnre of the flames on his window, who turned in an alarm, and the prompt action of hotel guests and neighbors, who formed a bucket brigade, probably averted serious loss. It is thought the blaze originated in the hotel basement near the electric lighting plant. The hotel was well filled wih guests, due to unemployment in the woods near Kitchener. James McGovern was in charge of the hotel, the owners, Mr. and Mrs. B. Johnson, being on a visit to Spokane.

A good many men have come into the city during the past week or so, when the logging camps shut down, and it is expected that these will gradually distribute themselves throughout the district according as the summer work opens up at the mills and in other directions.
