The principles which Mr. Sauvo and his parly have Inid down arc identical with those which the Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen has enuneinted. Mr. Suuve has in and out of season pleaded for protection for the farmer against American potatoes, tomatoes nnd other foodstuffs.

The Liberals here nre nlso unfortunate in their lendership. Hon. H. .1. A. Cardin is managing everything in the Montreal district and is displaying dictatorial tactics with the result that there is much dissatisfaction. The members of the lust parliament object to holding conventions and giving other Liberals an opportunity of testing feeling and signs of rebellion against this display of "vested rights*" tendencies are to be noted on all sides. Iu a statement announcing his entry into the federal arena, Mr. Patenaude said that a government without a majority hnd for four years aggravated from yenr to year the general uneasiness. Surprises of a policy without direction, he said, had sapped the energies and stopped thc development of the nation.

The young Ind on Saturday hut! been playing around as usual, doing his customary household chores, and to all purposes was well, only a .slight trace of u skin infection with which he was uffected about u month ago then being evident. Saturduy night, between midnight und 1 a.m., the family were aroused by thc boy, who had got up opponent- j ly suffering from un upset stomach. The following morning medical aid was sought, and at 11 a.m., upon being examined, a swelling under the jaws and a drowsiness were the only indications of anything being wrong, there being no sign of fever, to cause any alarm. On that afternoon the boy gradually got worse, and by six o'clock had passed away. The case, according to thc doctor, is one of exceptional rarity. It is thought that the boy possibly on Friday or Saturday hud scratched one of the sore places on his neck, and that blood poisoning had started therefrom.

The sympathy of many friends was extended to the bereaved parents in the painful affliction thnt snatched from them their dear one practically before they realized he was gone—a boy just at the budding age, bright, likeable, and one in whom all the hopes of a fond father and mother were centred. Geno wus a member of Miss Mc- Caslin's class, Grade VI, Central School, to which class, he passed in July with honors for regularity und punctuality. His young classmates feel keenly the loss of their friend, a token of their sympathies being a large wreath, which was purchased through their contributions. Besides the parents t here arc brothers and- sisters in the family, Wednesday nfternoon the funeral took place, the body bcing taken from the family residence to St. Mary's Church, where Mass was said for the repose of the soul of the deceased. In referring to thc death of the young boy, Father Murphy drew attention tO the dying flowers and the falling leaves, ns if nature was in sympathy with the mourners. The whole of nature seemed saddened by the taking off of the young life. While the sympathy of the whole community would go out to the bereaved parents nnd relatives, he would ask them to look to the flowers and the trees, robbed of their leaMes, To' all intents and purposes they were dead, but next year they would come to life again.

Stevens, of Vancouver, h former minister of trade and commerce in the government of Hon. Arthur Meighen. The meeting had boen arranged hurriedly, the locul committee not having any knowledge of Mr. Steven.-' coming till three days beforehand, bul even at that short notice, there were not mnny vncnnt seats in the IC, P. hull, the audience including a number from out of town points who had braved the Unpleasant night to hear the .speakers of the evening. A. J. Balment, president of the local association, acted as chairman for the evening, nnd after some introductory musical numbers while the audience was gathering, played by Messrs. Bruce Robinson and It. W. Kdtuondson, the speakers were introduced by Mr, Balment. Dr. Rutledge was given a very good reception, and was listened to very attentively, while for about an hour he Inid down the principles upon which he was standing, and his speech wns exceedingly well received and wns commented on very favorably. After welcoming Mr. Stevens t(j this city in a few well chosen words. Dr. Rutledge said that the party who had heen in charge of the ship of state for the past four years wet- now asking for endorsement, and the electors were placed in a respon- ihlc position -having to choose r sound pnrty with a sound policy, Canada with it.s resources should unquestionably have great possibilities, instancing the immense wheat area, timber areas, silver and copper deposits, and he did not consider it proper for these to bo plundered by a foreign country, and Bhlpped out as raw material. Me urged the electors to he fair, and take into account the all-round conditions at present found iu the country. Canada's recovery from the war compared to other Countries, had heen slow. The national debt had been added tit, and taxes increased accord' ingly. Thc Liberals hud decried against extravagance in 1021, but had done nothing to prevent it, for the national debt was going up still, and while other countries wore reducing their debt, Canada was still increasing hers. As instances of the reckless spending he instanced n grant of ?;"i,l)0n.000 to Quebec harbor, when then' was already un expenditure of twenty millions there, on which not a cent of interest was heing paid; an eight million dollar bridge at Montreal, when the board of trade there had said that a quarter of a million dollars spent on the xisting bridge would have been ample; another eight millions on the wuter front at Toronto had been spent which was not absolutely neces- sary; similarly ? 1,1100,000 had been spent on an elevator at Prince Rupert for a grain trade there that did not yet exist, and which would in effect compete against Vnncouver where millions were heing spent; (100,000 had been spent on the golf links at Jasper pnrk, and while some of these expenditures might be deemed ncces- ary, where economy was so essential, it was surely necessary to go slowly. While mentioning the greut possibilities of the country, of which agriculture was one, Dr. Rutledge pointed out that no country could ever become great through that line of development alone. Industries must be stimulated and built up, nnd with manufactories closing their doors, the young people were being forced to leave the country, 400,000 having crossed into the United States, and only 320,000 entering Cunada in that time. "Canada cannot be built up that wny," said Dr. Rutledge, and the government was responsible for driving the people over the border.' Showing how the United States had raised its tariff against Canada in many items, Dr. Rutledge quoted figures to show how, while comparatively small amounts were paid for the Canadian raw materials taken into the United Stutes, the manufactured goods from these products were worth many times moro, and Canada was losing as a result of huvlng these supplies shipped out of the country to be manufactured. To {Continued on Page Five.) | Petitions are being widely eircu latcd in Cranbrook asking the provincial government to grant tt plebiscite on the sale of beer by the glass in this city. To circulate such a petition is the privilege of any citizen. Tn -sign such a petition i.s to become responsible for entailing upon the already overburdened taxpayer the serious expense uf a plebiscite on a question which was given an emphatic answer at the polls only a little over a year ago. Al that time thc voters of Cranbrook by a substantial majority said, "We do not want the sale of In er by the gla>-s." Hut the Cranbrook Board of Trade, nevertheless, takes the responsibility of joining with those who are asking fi.]1 nnothor plebiscite, Let it not be implied that there is any assumption that the Board of Trade is in- jf sympathy with higher hu- in arguments, if, for the mo- ■ question be considered only financial aspects. financial advantages are to d from this burdening of the • with the expense of'a ple- o say nothing of the un- e*-, id' the tension of feel- ur little community in the in paign, which must inevit- ie.'

Tradesmen must live by the patronage of the, general public, of whom the brewers ffnd liquor sellers arc "a very small percentage, Of the money that goes into heer from the public, only that same proportion finds its wny into the channels of general trade, or just so much more than this as tliat class may live in more expen- she manner than the average public. This is a matter of mnthemntical iilion. The grocer, the butcher and the clothier must make their trade with just what is left ufter the beer trade has taken its toll. Collections will he just that much harder. Is not this the experience of Klmberloy? Have not business men of that town repeatedly expressed their difficulty of making collections since the "liter parlors" came in? Cranbrook looks to the Board of Trade to give sound financial and business leadership at least, und not lo be stamped by an interested class at the expense of the community as n whole, Wc are being asked to petition for a plebiscite which in any case must bear still more heavily upon the taxpayer, and which, should the already expressed wish of the people be reversed, will favor financially a small class of the community at nn expense of the whole in the maintenance of law and order, the upkeep of jails, the cost of courts and the disqualifying of labor by Irunkonmss which can hardly be estimated. For ihe well-being of our citizens, the security of travel, thc reputation f our town, the peace of our streets, the moral well-being of our youth, the Board of Trade would surely not leny some responsibility, but these ire not directly financial questions?

M«il'»rihy. wh-a jUMt rt "The camp thin year was one of the best Climbing camps we ever had," said T, 11. Moffatt, regarding the outing of the Alpine Club of Canada, at Lake O'Hara, this summer. Thc weather was ideal and there was work for ull classes to do, hikings to Lukes McArthur and Oc.su, and to the Opabin Pass. Then shorter climbs were available for tho graduates, such ma Shafer and Odaray, The moro seasoned climbers had Hulier, Victoria, Lefroy aud Hunabce. The high mountains were in a better condition this year than they have ever heen before owing to tho scarcity of ice. From fid to (JO members were out every day climbing, the two duys' trip over tho pusses being very popular. Through the courtesy of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which placed its hut, situated at the top of tho Abbot Puss, at the disposal of the members, the work of climbing wus greatly facilitated. The annual business meeting of the Club was held at Lake O'Hara Camp on August fith. This was an auspicious occasion, for Captain MacCarthy, leader *t tfie Mount Logan expedition and Henry S. Hall, one i Dim ior Whetlrr rr-adlnr rrport at th« annual mfeting. (Iniert) returned from rapturing Muunl Loran. of the purty, were present. The business of the Club wus transacted In the morning: at ten o'clock, under the large gly on the shores of Luke O'Hara. No setting for the occasion—that of welcoming Capt. MacCarthy and his party—could have been more appropriate than amid the superb peaks that surround O'Hara. Flags of various nations were strung between the trees of this primeval forest in which the camp was pitched, this being the Club's owu property, which Mr. Wheeler, Its director, secured as fur back as 1907. The scene was u festive one, thc whole atmosphere, despite the serenity of these inajefitio peaks and lake, waa one of joviality and every one was in particularly good spirits. Captain MacCarthy wus elected a honorary member of tho Club, not wholly on account of the Mount Logan ascent, but on other grounds as well, for he was recognized long before this as an outstanding mountaineer.

Southern Alberta is Beekeeper's Paradise ___■ In Genrgt- Rie-del'a ApUry In tht Coaldale Obirlct. Lower— A colony of Been la ib* Rlcdel Apiary. Southern Alberta's irrigated districts, with their large fields of alfalfa and sweet clover, promise to become the beekeeper's parudise within the next five years. Two years ago, less than 10,000 pounds of honey were produced in Alberta. Last year, 60,000 pounds were produced — and 32 carloads imported into the West to supply the demand. This year, on the C.P.R. irrigated project at Lethbridge, there will be produced more than 100,000 pounds. And this is just a start. "Southern Albeita's irrigated districts will be shipping trainloads — not carloads—of honey to the markets within five years" declared Frank C. Pellatt, field editor cf the American Bee Journal, Hamilton, Illinois, on the occasion of his visit to Southern Alberta late in July this year. "This is the greatest potential honey producing district in North Ameiica." Today, one apiarist in the Coaldale district on the C.P.R. irrigated project has 600 colonies of bees. Thi' man, C. George Riedel, came to Southern Alberta from California in the spring of 1924 and started with 300 colonies. In 1926 he will have 1800 colonies nnd will make more than 150 tons of honey.

DR. KING'S CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE The Mackenzie King government comes to thc country with a proud record of high achievement. Upon assuming power nearly four years ago, it found agriculture prostrate, trade languishing, falling revenues, an unfavorable balance of trade and our dollar worth eighty-five cents, Today agriculture is In a flourish- ing condition. Farm and domestic trade have alike expanded. We have a favorable balance of trade, The Canadian dollar Is now worth one hundred cents in -every market. Busi- has expanded and a measure of relief from taxation, tariff und otherwise, has been afforded the consumer without injury lo thc great manufacturing interests in the country. The .steady stream of emigration to the United States, which exceeded 71)2,000 persons during the Burden* Meighen regime, has been checked. With improved conditions in Canada many thousands of expatriated Canadians are returning to their native land. Wholesale immigration of undesirables has been sternly discount- nanced. Instead, a well-considered policy of soleitive ond directed immigration has been adopted. Wasteful extravagance of the pub lie rvenue has been replaced by rigid economy in every branch of the public service. Trade treaties within and without the empire have more closely knit our inter-imperial ties and have guided Canadian exports to rich markets of the world hitherto undeveloped. Taxation has been reduced and the cost of living lowered. The wounded and disabled soldiers has been given humane and generous treatment, and no less consideration has been accorded the dependents of our m|en who fell in battle or died from illness or injuries contracted in the service. A spirit of notional unity has replaced discord and suspicion. Moreover, the government of today is hopeful, optimistic nnd proud of Canada. It does not cry "stinking fish." It is not driving the Canadians out of the country by telling them they will be more prosperous in another land. It does not stop intending American settlers at the border and warn them Canada will soon be depopulated, nnd that one-third of our people favor annexation to the United States. During its tenure of office thfe Mackenzie King government has unified the National railways into one great system which corns every year a large surplus over operating expenses. It has unified the far-flung provinces of our great dominion. For the first time since confederation every province has been represented the King cabinet. It has protected the homes of our people by drastic suppression of illicit traffic in narcotic drugs and intoxicating liquors, and other social wal fare measures. It has increased the prestige of Canada in spite of thc misdirected efforts its political opponent-- whose dreary pictures of Canadian desolation hnve too often adorned the pages of the forvign press. The government believes in Cunada. It appeals with confidence to the high courage and dauntless spirit of the Canadian people. It rejoices in the sunshine of returning prosper- It does not fear the croakers, the birds of ill-omen, who see nothing ahead of us but ruin and disaster. It submits in no boastful spirt but with pardonable pride its record of achievement. When Mr. Meighen loft the premiership of Canada, he handed over to his successor a tremendous legacy of national deht. Dining the ten years the Conservative purty hud been in power, there was added to the national debt <>f Canada the en- lire capital cost of the war, the entire cost of demobilization nnd about $170,000,1)00 in addition. The government of which Mr. Meighen* was a member made not the slightest effort during the progress of thc war to pay any part of it. They borrowed money on the credit of the country and added to tht reserving for tin return from the war • if helping to pay it. The end of the seer of its administration eminent was able to thanks to bUBjness-lik onal deht, thus Iier who would ihu added task and whole year the King gov- announce that, scrupulously economic method;-, the budget showed a surplus and not a deficit for the first time since 1023, In the fiscal year 1020-21, the debt increased by $02,010,000. In the fiscal year 1021-22 when the present administration was only thrde months in office, the debt showed nn increase of ¥81,000,000. The following year the Mackenzie King government had to meet a vast number of obligations which had been left by the previous administration. The public debt Increased, but only by $30,000,000, a drop of $50,- 000,000 on the increase of the previous year. For the year 1023-24 revenue met expenditure nnd there wns a balance on the right side of $35,000,000. An estimated cut was promptly made in tuxes for the succeeding yeur amounting to $20,000,000. In 1924-25, notwithstanding reduced taxation, tho surplus of revenue over expenditure for govVrn- ment service amountd ten $4,810,000, Tht railroad problem of Canada was tnken hold of with vigor and energy. Whnt wns needed most was a competent man to put in charge of all the government railways and to get rid of the three or four organizations which were operating them during Conservative regime. To select any man from one of tho old organizations to run the consolidated railway would have been a mistake. The government secured Sir Henry Thornton, the most outstanding railway expert available. During tHe two or three years he hus been in charge of the Canadian National railways he has justified hit appointment beyond all question. The year ending December 31st, 1021, the last of the Meighen administration there wns a new deficit from railway operations of all lines now embraced in the Canadian National system amounting to $11,543,- 577.00. For 1022, the first yenr of thc King administration the deficit of the preceding year had been changed to a surplus of $2,886,711.55. Sir Henry Thornton had only been appointed us chief executive in October, 1922; hence the railways could scarcely be expected to show the fruits of his management in the short time elapsing before the close of that year. The year 1023, the first whole year of Sir Henry Thornton's man agement, operating surplus increased to $20,430,049.08 bettering the operating conditions of the previous year by $17,648,937.64, and hetter- ing the operating conditions of the year 1021, the last of the Conservative regime, by $31,074,220.17. For 1924, the surplus of revenue over expenses amounted to $17,244,- 251.48.—Advertisement.' THE OLD, RELIABLE so fur thc yoar. Mr. I prtsident; Mrs. P. Smith, Use Gillett';.

THE issues uf the campaign mnv in progress are so clear-cut us to throw out a sharp challenge to all who take- pride in thinking things out to n logical conclusion. On the one hand there i-. the Liberal campaign of apology, excuse and subterfuge, with a protective policy for the east, free trade for the prairies ami a pol pourri of them both For B.C. On the other hand stands the Conservative policy, the same today as in 1911, and never lo--l sight of during the war years, only laid aside while other and bigger issues transcended il a sane policy of a protective tariff, designed for the greatesl good for the greatest number and elastic enough tor the varying interests of I In- entire country. It was the policy to which the people mined so strongly in 1911, ami which resulted in building thc industry of the country up so dial when iln- strain of the war years came ils financial and commercial resources were a source of admiration in lbe eyes of lbe world, no less than the manhood which responded so freely lo tbe cause. The country had struck a determined war stride at Un- end of four years when the armistice came, and (lie public generally failed to realize the magnitude upon which tilings wen- being dune in 1918, and an impatience arose when things did nol immediately relax into a peacetime atmosphere. The men wen- demobilized and repatriated faster than the industrial enterprises which had been conscripted could be diverted back In Ibeir former status. But the ureal difference was that there was still a desire to beep up ihe wartime momentum of trade in peacetime lines, ami lhe government of the day, proceeding with caution, was thought to be dilatory in dealing with these issues. Then came tbe change. The Liberal government took over lhe responsibility of settling the country down to normal. It did iu fact, a little more than thai. Under the regime of Mackenzie King il is felt thai the country has gone back to sub-normal, In spile of the Canadian dollar being at par again; iu spite of the subterfuges employed iu endeavoring to show lhal lhe national debt has been decreased, and tbat the national railways are now paying their way, in spite of exports which are said to be increasing, and beueficient trade treaties said to have been introduced; in spile of all Ibis and whatever else the government has laid claim to accomplishing iu tlie past four years, Ihe country al lhe present time is unsettled iu an economic sense, business is not functioning al ils best, and people are still leaving lhe country faster than they are coming in. How can il be otherwise when there is no unity or cohesion in the government policy? lu the east the Premier says they want nu more entangling alliances with lhe Progressives. He goes further, and tacitly admits that he has been sadly tied during the past four years and hence could nol have been iu a position lo have done what be deemed wisest for the country, when he says lhat if one election does not bring him a clear majority, be will immediately go lu the country again. On the prairies the Progressive leader says on his part there can be no bargain or barter with the Liberals. Yet in some western ridings there are partisans of both who understand so little of what tlieir leaders incorporate in their programs that they will unite their force*, to face a four-square Conservative candidate. This is tbe case in the West Kootenay, Calgary, Lethbridge, the Island and elsewhere, and goes tu prove that lhe Conservatives stand out iu relief today as the party with the clear-cut and settled policy, that will stand examination in tlie light of conditions found anywhere in tlie country. Can thc Liberal policy on Ibe tariff stand this test? Docs the narrow Progressive viewpoint measure up to it? That i.s tbe reason why under the Conservative banner today, in B.C., the east aud on the prairies, are found men who have been iu public life before; who have bail the franchise uf their neighbors entrusted to them before; men of tried experience, who are standing today on the same principles they stood for years ago. Run through lhe B.C. ridings and note who the Conservative candidates are. Every sitting Conservative member iu the province has been re-nominated, and all through tbe country arc seen names of outstanding men who are willing to make the stand (or Conservative principles, ami who as far as tlie adaptability of these principles to national conditions go, could as well stand in tbe mari- times, the prairies, or the west. Mr. Meighen himself scorns to seek a safe riding, but goes back to his old battle ground of Portage La Prairie, a fine example uf confident courage that thinking people feel is something more than merely spectacular. In Quebec itself, hotbed of Liberalism, Hon. E. L. Pa- tenaude, erstwhile union government minister, who broke away un a matter of policy, comes back witli a desire tu align himself again witli the Conservative party, now thai conditions bring back to the forefront the former Conservative policy of protection of Canadian markets for Canadian industries, and the development of Canadian resources liy Canadians for the primary good of the Canadian people. It is a situation tliat challenges the silent, thinking elector, ami one that no amount of argument or apology can alter in its fundamentals, It is the Liberal policy for the past four years that is un trial, ami weighing il in the balance with the program uf reform and improvement to be inaugurated by the Conservatives, there is little doubt bul lhat the Mackenzie King government will he adjudged wanting. » » » * * THINKING IN MILLIONS MR. G. G. McGeer, who is opposing H. H. Stevens in Vancouver Centre in the federal elections, is nothing if he is not ambitious. He is well known as the special pleader uf B. C's cause in the fight fur equalized freight rates, employed un thi.s mission in his legal capacity by the provincial government. That he is a red-hut enthusiast in this cause is alsu well known, though this is somewhat discounted by the fact that it is not difficult lo become enthused in a crusade that reaps such harvests for its knights errant as this essay into the lists on behalf of better freight rales, ll has been aptly pointed out that Mr. McGeer has a favorably inclined governmenl at Victoria behind him; another government of tin- same hue. presumably equally favorable to bis cause, at Ottawa. What more will he be able to do, therefore, even iu the remote eventuality of his lieing elected to the Dominion House? Ile was never heard to raise bis voice so vociferously iu thc cause of freight rates prior to 1922, or thereabouts, when he was retained by the provincial government on lhat behalf, but has now made bis twenty-ninth trip to Ottawa in an effort to get what some people evidently regard as being more than justice for the wesl, and it would not seem unlikely that another twenty-nine may be necessary before the dawn of tbe McGeer millennial era arrives. Parallel to the freight rales question lias gone that of thc development of the port uf Vancouver, in which this city has bad au especial interest. One would have thought that lhe two questions would have worked themselves out together, as it were, tt is therefore worthy of comment that Mr, McGeer finds it necessary lo endorse one of his opponent's planks in this campaign, which is nothing less than the promise of a complete re-organization of the harbor board of Vancouver. More than lhat, there is the strange spectacle of Mr. McGeer, in his private capacity as a lawyer, acting in thc interests of one of tlie elevator lesees there in a suit againsl the harbor board. What is lhe trouble witli tlie harbor board lhat these threats against il are necessary, and why does not Mr. McGeer rise up and declaim against it in a righteous fervor llial has characterized his utterances in regard to the freight rates? If there is something lhat needs rectifying, why is it not necessary tu have it rectified now instead of waiting? Mr. McGeer has a very ambitious program to carry out if be is elected, aud one whicli lhe eastern people will look on wilb admiration—at the nerve thai can conceive lliese huge projects, which after all mean the expenditure of eastern money very largely for the prime benefit of lbe west. Mr. McGeer promises, if elected, to press fur Canadian National terminal facilities iu Vancouver; a Canadian National hotel in Vancouver, ami lhe completion of lhe line into the Peace Kiver, as a feeder for thc National lines. This little program involves, it will be seen, the expenditure uf many millions uf dollars, ami apart from the merit ur otherwise of lbe items, il illustrates the futility uf pushing a program lhat will antagonize and inflame one part uf the country againsl another, instead uf trying lu harmonize and unify. Incidentally it is worthy of note that the Conservative program oil tlie freight rates is tu plaee the entire matter iu the hands uf the railway hoard, subject onlv to the usual parliamentary restrictions; in other words, it is for rational demands, backed up by the proper procedure. » » » * » NOTE AND COMMENT 4 majority uf five hundred votes fur Dr. King is predicted liy a Liberal source in the riding. That represents pretty good work on the part of lhe supporters of Dr. Rutledge, when the riding held by a cabinet minister can in such a short lime be reduced to the point where a paltry two hundred aud fifty votes will turn lhe seat. A month remains yet before the election, and if a seat that was at onetime deemed impregnable can already be reduced to a majority of only five hundred, it goes without saying that four weeks more will see that five hundred turned intu an adverse vote. It reminds one of lhe Liberal majority predicted on polling day iu the last provincial election, whicli dwindled before tin- votes were counted till it became a substantial Conservative majority. That five hundred majority is simply a case of whistling to keep up tlie courage; au expression of what the heart desires but dares not hope for. m * * * * tsftm Our Exchanges KINDLIER SENTIMENTS The bitterness which attended certain stages of the union movement has subsided to u considerable extent, und kindlier .sentiments huve latterly prevailed 1*>- tween the "pro and anti" divisions of Presbyterians.

Owing to this big increase in school population, two new teachers have been engaged for the public school work, though they cannot commence duty until the new addition is ready, which should be some lime next week. At least lifteen students wish to take the high school work this year. This means thnt Kimberley Superior School is a Superior School nc longer. Kimberley will have a separate high school, with a separate teacher who will have nothing to do with the public school. The high school, having no accommodation at present, must await the completion of the new addition. The high school teacher is already engaged and the work will be commenced in a few lays.

There wns no doubt that many people had made up their minds to change over at this election. The recent elections in the marl times proved this, nnd there was no doubt but that the Conservatives would get twenty or thirty seats in the province of Quebec. To the returned men Dr. Rutledge said he was strongly in favor of all legislation to hetter the conditions of the disabled men, thc widows ami liiOO, and after this time it had li renewed by both governments. As to zinc, Mr. Stevens said there was (no duty on zinc at tho present time, and instead of Dr. King being able to claim credit for the development of this industry in the East and West Kootenay, it should go to the Consolidated Company, who worked out the process, and the era of high zinc prices that made it profitable. Mr. Stevens recalled that twenty years ago most of the copper from the Britannia mines was smelted by a plant at Ladysmith. The situation was now changed, and it all went to ut of f the ground, while the Americans did the manufacturing. He showed how the children.

The same was true, he said, in or sentiment interfere with their ver- respect to asbestos, the bulk of the diet on election day. If they be- world's supply of raw material believed that the conditions which the! ing owned by Canada. Ho also op- government had imposed were in the posed strenuously the export of pow- best interests of tho country, then it was for them to support his opponent; but if they believed otherwise, they should as readily support him. Rounds of cheering were given to Dr. Rutledge when he finished his speech. Mr. Stevens in an eloquent address, after welcoming the ladies particularly nt the meeting and congratulating Dr. Rutledge upon being given thc honor to contest such an important sent in B.C., devoted much time to a criticism of the speech Dr, King had made at thc time of hip weak points nnd the inaccuracies in thnt statement. Dr. King being a minister of the crown, it was quite legitimate to offer criticism of nny public statement he might make. Mr. Stevens reiterated hi: ding faith in the country er to the United States, taking the stand that if power was needed the plants should be put nt the site of the power in Canada. In regard to senate reform, Mr. Stevens said thHt this was a hardy annual, which Bounded very catching, but the King government had not suggested any practical measures of reform, and it should be remembered that the senate is one of the fundamental institutions in the government of the country, and any proposed change would have to be considered carefully. He depreciated loose talk against the senate, for had it not been the custodian nf thc rights of the people? Touching on port development at Vancouver, Mr. Stevens showed that unboun-lthe whole of the 54,000,000 bushels nnd its j marketed through that port in 1924 great heritage, and claimed if it did had gone through the elevator he had not make good it must be thc fault been instrumental in building in 1 A COOP BATTERY COOP BATTERY SERVICE We have tlte best uf both Ratcliffe & Stewart Cranbrook, B.C. Exi&e Increased mining activity in and around KimU-rley is indicated in an interview given to the Xelson New by Mr. 0. C. Thompson of this town: Around (it) men nre doing development work, and three diamond drills are in U* at the North Star and Stemwinder properties at Kimberley, according to O. C. Thompson, mining engineer, connected with the Porcupine Cold Fields, the Canadian company of the Consolidated (iold Fields of South Africa. Mr. Thompson, together with C. C. Starr, A. 1*. Crawford and A. D. Frith, all of Kimberley at present, j bul connected with the same South j African company, has just ^turned jfrom visiting properties in thc district. They have visited properties at Prince Itupert, Prince Ueorge, Quesnel and along the P.d.K. Recently they have made trips through the Lardaau country, and thc Salmon Valley. Mr. Thompson snld that (he North Star and Stemwinder properties were tead-tino properties, similar to the great Sullivan of Kimberley. While development is going on no ore is ing shipped. of the people. It was now a time for stocktaking, nnd if the people did not ponder these questions they were not to be considered good citizens. Mr. Meighan was not on trial nt this time, he reminded his hearers, it was Premier KinK and Dr. King who were facing the people, and it was for them to explain what they had done in the last four years, 1910, and which the Liberals had in that day decried as "Stevens' white elephant." Not one bushel had yet gone through the elevators which Dr. King claimed credit for having built there. In reference to Dr. King's assertion that the national debt had been reduced by eleven millions, Mr. Stev- ns suggested that even if this were . well as what they hoped to do in true, it was not much to boast of when lhe aggregate debt was shown lo be not less than $2,417,000,000 at the present time. As a matter of fact thi' official figures showed only a reduction of six millions, and to this should l»' added the guarantees mado to the national railways, which were not figured in the national debt by (the present government. It had been the policy of tht former government j to pay the railway deficits in cash, or borrow for the purpose and add the figures to the national debt, and the bonds or notes which the King government guaranteed should undoubtedly be considered a part of the national debt. He had taken this stand in the house, and made the assertion to Hon. Mr. Robb, minister of finance, thut if such misrepresentation were made in the ordinary course of business the perpetrator would be likely to land behind the bars. Including therefore the railway deficits which the government was guaranteeing, it was clear that lhe deficit they were responsible for in the past four years was not lews than SIKP.OOO.OOO. The simile Dr. King had used in speaking of the national railways as "Babies left on the doorstep" of the present government, Mr. Stevens showed was not a very happy one, and he procedeed to trace back the history of the lines that now constitute the national system, proving that they were authorized and mostly completed under the Liberal regime of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who had personally pleaded for them in parliament, and the cost of them, moreover, as Mr. Stevens showed, was many millions more than the original estimates ubmitted. As to the statement that the national linos were now paying their way, this was true only insofar as the operating charges were concerned, and that if the fixed charges were considered, the boasted surplus f $10,000,000 would be chnrged into a deficit of $65,000,000. Dr. King had said thnt his opponent, Dr. Rutledge was on this occasion "backing the wrong horse," but Mr. Stevens made a more powerful simile when he asserted that the Liberal government was plunging here aud there like a "riderless horse running wild, with neither bit nor bridle," and if the Liberal policy was lo be regarded to a safe chart, as Dr. King suggested, to Mr. Stevens it wns clear from the drifting policy followed, that they could have no compass. As to the emigration from Canada ilurlng thc past four years, Mr. Stevens said the figures should be not 484,000 as Dr. Rutledge had said, but not less than 000,000 people. And was it reasonable to expect that the government that had forced these people out of the country could bring them back? It was not reasonable to think so. Mr. Stevens then stanced some tariff charges that had been responsible for closing up some industries, nnd putting others in difficulties, notably the fertilizer plants und the woolen mills. Thirty-nine woolen mills had been closed, yet Canada imports not less than $125,- 000,000 worth of woolen goods per year. The 'entry of Vincent Massey into the King government was shown by Mr. Stevens to be not altogether the impersonal matter the premier had represented it to be. Mr. Massey's interests had received substantial benefits from tariff changes made, and in addition he had been given what Mr. Stevens claimed was preferred treatment in regard to the payment of some reparations claims, amounting to half a million dollars.. The national trade of the dominion in the last four years, Mr. Stevens showed, had not increased but actually showed a decrease of $565,000,- 000, and for sixteen years past Can ada had been buying on an average more than $220,000,000 worth of goods from the United States ahove Unveiling The "Altar of Peace" at Vancouver BATTERIES Election to Cost 2,000,000 Ottawa.—Tho Dominion general lection, which now is In progress, will cost the country two million dollars.

Moss, president luwanis International on September 16th in the presence of a large gathering of both United States and Canadian government officials and members of Kiwanis. The memorial was designed by Charles Marega, a woll known Italian sculptor of Vancouver. When the scheme wus first decided upon, It was the i.if ention of the American Kiwanis Clubs to raise the lunds on their side of tho border and to present the memorial to Canada. Canadian Kiwanis, however, insisted upon contributing toward!- the fund and the memorial was thus erected by the joint efforts of tho United States and Canadian clubs. At the unveiling ceremony, the Dominion Government was represented by Hon. Dr. J. H. King and Dr. G. T. Harding, brother of tlie late president. United States Kiwanis was represented by International President John H. Moss, and International Past Presi- Jenu Victor S. Johnson and Edmund F. Arras.

No grim-fared -fortifications mark our frontiers, nn hu^e battleships patrol our dividing waters, no stealthy spies lurk our tranquil border hamlets. Only a scrap of paper, recording hardly more than a simple understanding safeguards lives and properties on tlm Great, Lukes, and only humble mile- posts mark the inviolable boundary-line for thousands of miles through farm und forest. "Our protection is in our fraternity, our armor is our faith, and tho tie thnt. binds, more firmly each year, is ever-increasing acquaintance and comradeship through interchange of citizens; and thn compact- is not perishable parchment, but of fair and honorable dealing, which, God grant, shall continue for all time."

NEW PRODUCERS APPEAR ON LIST OF SHIPPERS TO TRAIL SMELTER Seei Progress for Winnipeg—Believing that Winnipeg is "on the eve of a marked advance," A. B. Kent, a recent visitor from Minneapolis, said before leaving for the south: "I can see more optimism in Winnipeg today than I have observed for many years." Speaking of conditions in the west generally, Mr. Kent remarked that "the Canadian farmer is in much better condition than the North Dakota farmer. The land is more productive, your marketing facilities are just as good, and your freight rates are lower." CP.R. TO EXTEND SYSTEM OF BUNGALOW CAMPS IN THE ROCKIES Tourist traffic has been so tremendous during the past year that the Canadian Pacific Railway will provide additional facilities at the mountain resorts for this trade, according to an announcement made by President C. W. Beatty, during an interview. Tourists who desire to get away from the pretentious places, such as Banff and Lake Louise, to the simpler life in camp and bungalow win find new accommodation during the 1926 season with the development of Glacier, where numerous bungalows and community houses will be erected. Improved business throughout Canada was noted by Mr. Beatty, who declared he had complete faith in thc future, emphasizing his belief that the one and only salvation of the Dominion is to remain an undivided whole within the present imperial ties, In discussing the Peace River transportaton situation, Mr. Beatty reiterated his statement that connec- ions between Alberta and the coast would be more feasible by the PI e or peace passes.

PJatvu. uc I SYNOPSIS Potts, a seasoned vagabond, and a young trump who hus seen only a few duys "on the road," tarry at the foot of a railroad trestle in Granite Gorge, in the Rockies, cooking a "hobo stew" over their rude fire. The inquisitive Potts attempts by sly hints to learn something of the past life of the companion with whom he has so recently met up, but the younger man is silent concerning himself. It is a night of inky darkness, with rain falling heavily and a chill wind blowing. CHAPTER 1—Continued Granite Gorge was, on the whole, one gesture of Nature that would scare rather than thrill the tourist and travelling public; that section of the public, ut lenst, which journeyed in pullmnn comfort, But to the vagabonds the Gorge was a friendly haunt—the rocky declivity from which sprang the spindly legs of the trestle's eastern arch was o havening cove beach whereon lapped the flotsam edged tide of homeless wnnderers that washes over the mellow ways, of the Continent always in shy and cautious forerunning of the vernal days of whatever clime their frowsy presence favors. Tonight the Old Witch had been guilty of an inhospitable show of temper toward even her favorite for him to long remember that his original intention was to beguile Bob. He immediately became lost in a rapture of martyred longing. Suddenly both tramps grew alert and rose to tlieir feet as, from the enshrubbed darkness nearby, n whistle Bounded, fluid and clear ending with a peeuliar trill—the hobo signal. PottB cautiously responded kind, adding to the signal notes u few har:-; of reassuring cninrailery Then Potta and Hob stood still and listened. But no sound of approach* ing footstep-; reached Ihem. Without warning Potts jumped forward with a shrill squeak, dropping his newspaper and clapping bis hands to the .-eat of liis panUs. Only quick intervention by the startled Boh saved him from tumbling into the fire. "Spike Nelson!" Potts ejaculated in painful recognition, without even looking around. "De same!" admitted a hobo of sinister mien and dirty, rather than ragged, appearance he slunk into the circle of firelight. "I fought 1 cither sniffed a hobo stew cookin' around dese diggin's or me bcezer was a Congressman—meanin', in less toney Inng'age, a Hnrl" The newcomer was a typically soiled specimen of that furtive, slink- So Potts and Bob cnuti-|ing( genuinely bad minority whose STRIP TICKETS With and Without Coupons For General Admission Purposes For Sale at THE CRANBROOK HERALD OFFICE Watch fnr arrival (if our new FALL GOODS Paul Nordgren Store On Kain Road, near bridge { HURRY'S WHITE LUNCH f I IS THE PLACE TO EAT, | While Help Onlj Ii Enplojad. 2 I Yon will llii tklt Cafe • Home, f I Place te Enjoy low Heali I ALEX.

Potts, with the vagabond's knack of imparting a homey leisure to a campfire under any conditions, calmly unpocketed a newspaper, determined to enjoy, his well-earned respite as any real gentleman should. He opened to the crossword puzzle, and was soon lost in its riddles. Bob was freed from his own searing thoughts temporarily by a sudden, affectionate interest in a study of the happy-go-lucky character into whose company Fate had thrown him. This much he had learned in n week of carefree rambling and foraging by day, and shoring—by night —of the mean cover of a single gunny sack; that Potts was fat, freckled, a philosopher, a poet, who many years before hnd been a professor of history at an obscure university. He had not told where it was or why he had left it—perhaps he did not know the latter himself. Bob, surveying him, wondered if the answer was in Potts' weak chin—which was a buttery knob receding in a surf of double chin waves. Bob wondered snv-' agoly if there was in his own face any telltale of the trait responsible for his own—decision. Or had it been in his own case, after all, a sign of strength—the assumption of this roving that society had not trained him, nor Nature fitted him, for. Forth from thin dismal camp- fire and chilly night his thoughts wandered and captured n confused group of dreams, then bore them to his heart clunking in the brass chains of bitter memories that dazed and burned. Ho closed his eyes, ns if to curtain off the tormenting show. When he reopened them slowly, he became aware that Potts was staring at him with questioning concern on his pudgy face. Again came the wry droop to one corner of Bob's mouth —thc smile that never got beyond his lips. He lowered his eyes and went on stirring the stew. "What kind of dessert," Potts asked him by way of sympathetic diversion, reading from the crossword definitions in his paper, which was now limp and blurred from the raindrops that blew Into the half-sheltered retreat, "what kind of dessert, I repeat, sir, is usually eaten after roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and brown gravy?" But the luscious vision conjured up in Potta* mind by * tkto >mlt" made it too difficult /Wothiorwill d Men Instantly Like— the pleasing chocolaty flavour ol FRY'S COCOA.

That'a why men like iti YOU ? T HJI.HllMMjl TIN FOR advent. In physical aspect he resembled a cross between a wolf and n gorilla, with none of the gentler attributes of either beast. His face was cruel beneath its grimy stubble; his left hand was missing and in its place there was a steel spike, pointed to a rapier-like sharpness. Quickly appraising the noisome visitor, it struck Boh that this spike must be a fearful weapon, "Bob, the unexpected but—" Potts hesitated, ruefully nursing the spot where Spike hnd jabbed him, before adding reluctantly "—welcome —addition to our little family tete-a- tete is Mister Nelson, who, 1 may a man of considerable reputation in our brotherhood. He can walk like a rubber-soled Indian, fight like a mole, and has a visual acquaintance with every police chief and n sleeping acquaintance with every jail in our noble country Spike, shake hands with Mister— err-r—Bob!" "Me friend, de professor, ain't told yer half of dc woist, young fellow! I'm tough, seo, tough—de toughest 'bo on two dogs!" he boasted by way of impressing Bob, upon whom he fixed his buzzard eyes. Bob uncomfortably thought that he would not like to be dead and hnve those eyes viewing his remains. As their glances clashed, some suddenly awakened latent instinct caused both men to withdraw the hands they had started to extend some subconscious law written when tribal castes were molten that hud made these two forever traditional social enemies. (To be Continued) Oakland, Cal., where she ha« been paying an extended visit to her sun, Edgar. She will now make her home at Yahk. Mr. Ed. Pedersen, who loaned his Ford car to two local boys, did not get same back until the beginning of this week, us the two local boys had considerable trouble with it after arrival at Moyie. Mr. Charlie Foster, the local C.P.I It. station agent, with help from his assistant, Hurry Woodhouse, haB been busy for the past few days redecorating- the C. P. It. office and freight office, the appearance of both pi a ties being greatly improved by their united efforts. There has been two small accidents at the Yahk lumber mill this week, Mr. Dan Hamilton getting a finger broken while attending to some machinery, and Mr. Frank Dunn, paymaster, received an injured hip from a fall off a ladder in the lathe mill. Both cases were attended to by Dr. Thompson. B. C. MINERAL OUTPUT FORGING AHEAD SAYS THE MINISTER OF MINES DOM. GOVT. PROCLAIM WEEK IN OCTOBER AS FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Yahk and Kingsgate residents are wondering why the government road men haw been withdrawn from then- districts, when it is noticed that men are still working on the government roads in the vicinity of Crunbrook and Fort Steele; yet the roads in the Crunbrook and Fort Steele district are as good as paved, compared with the mere trail between Moyie and Kingsgate, as tourists have on different occasions asked if this trail went as far as Cranbrook. The wrestling match held in the Mill Hall, Yahk, last Wednesday evening between Mike Bilinsky, of Toronto, and Nels Jepson, of Yahk, was good, considerable fast work being showy' by both. Nels Jepson was the winner, securing the first fall thirty minutes and the second seven minutes later. The preliminary bouts were enjoyed about as much as the main event, the first being a three, two minute round boxing contest between Mr, Olson, representing the C.P.R. division at Kingsgate, and Battling Slim," of Eastport fame. This was a great bout, resulting in a draw, and certainly met with the hearty approval of all fans present, as was shown by the great ovation given the above two fighters when they had finished, The next bout wan a two, two minute round, boxing bout, announced as for the fly-weight championship of Eastport, between Al Fredricks and Hugh Hannah, both of Eastport, U.S. It was an A.l. bout, first one and then the other getting the advantage, but towards the finish Hannah weakened a little, due to too many cigarettes, but even so, the referee, on, the game showing both had mude, could only give a draw. Mr. Al Fredricks suffered a casualty, to wit, a damaged ear. Both these fighters expect to hattle at the next smoker, as the championship is not yet decided. The final bout of the preliminaries, was between Howard Armstrong, C.P.K., Kingsgate, and l.onnie l.ahey, of Eastport. It was great while it lasted, but it went for ubout a minute, during which time both fighters certainly mixed it up, l.ahey -getting in n number of telling punches until a second hefore the finish, when Armstrong connected with a strong swing to Lahey's jaw, scoring a complete knockdown. Lahey was on his fleet in the course of a few seconds and more than willing to go on, but Armstrong had to withdraw owing to his hand, which he hnd cut a week previous, and which ut the time he hit Lahey had dislocated a knuckle joint. He was later attended to by Dr. Thompson. Kingsgate and Eastport can certainly be proud of their fighters—it is up to Yahk next time to show Kings- gate and Eastport that they also British Columbia's mineral output will reach a total of about $60,000,- 000, us compared with last year's 340,000,000, breaking all record? in the history of the industry in this province, Hon. William Sloan, minister of mines, told members of the Vancouver Board of Trade at a luncheon in. Vancouver recently. Already this year, for the eighth month ended August 31, the mine? of British Columbia Have yielded $41,000,000 in new wealth. "The industry is on the crest of a wave of prosperity," said Mr. Sloan. The government has adopted a policy of leaving the mining law? strictly alone. 'But it does insist that investors be given a run for their money, and in new promotions advertising must stay somewhere near the facts, and 65 per cent of money subscribed must go into development. 'We huve had promoters on the carpet in regard to their operating methods. In a few instances I have had to advertise them. The result hus been that British Columbia ha.-: a better reputation in England as a field for investment than any other province in Canadn." By royal proclamation. His Excellency, the Governor-General of Canada, has designated October 4th to 10th as "Fine Prevention Week." During that week, lessons on fire prevention subjects will be given in the schools, public meetings will be held in many of the larger cities, towns and villages, and the owners and occupants of property everywhere throughout Canada will be counselled to give special attention to the removal Of fire- hazards from their premises. Fire waste is one of the most seri- f'Us economic problems confronting Canada at the present time. The public in general is vitally affected by the tremendous losses annually incurred by fire and the enormous expenditures rendered necssary to adequately protect life and property from its ravages. Seeing that at least seventy-five per oent of all fires are caused by carelessness and can therefore be prevented, it is the obvious duty of the newspapers to bring the matter to the attention of the people. In order that this may effectively be accomplished, the government asks for the co-operation of all who can assist in the movement.
