Buy early and save the clerks and at the same time secure better bargains for yourself. How happy you will he Christmas depends a good deal on how happy you try to make other people. Those turkeys are flying high this >ear. They will cost in the neighborhood uf 25 cents a pound. Cobalt has put the kibosh on some of the speculators. Most people can be happy on Christmas if they just think so. The great need just now in the printing office at Victoria is a map of tlie upper coast that is accurate. The maps issued at tbe present time nre sadly off, so much so in fact that they are worthlrss as a source of information. Thc Cranbrook board of trade should take up the matter of a federal building in Cranbrook. The government bbsiness ar this point justifies the granting of an appropria- t ion for that purpose. Some one should get a loud move on without delay. The autos have gone Into retirement for the winter. There is less blue in the atmosphere as a con- setjuence. The McBride government should never brag about that surplus. It is easy to secure a surplus when you tax the people heavier and cut down public improvements. The idea of cutting down publje improvements, except In favored districts, is a burning shame. We do not believe that there is a man in tbe Cranbrook district, no matter whether be is a Liberal, Conservative, or what he is, who will admit privately, that ihis district has received her just dues the past three years. The t;ixes have increased and what has the district to show for it? To il. tbe province was brought to bear to keep the courts [rom opening the lulloi boxes uf the Kernie district, hied ami ab-uotlcd hy the government officials, What is rotten in London, Ont., to the ranting moralists of the Conservative party of British Columbia, becomes as the attar uf ruses when the stench is brought nearer lo home. Wc have no use for such political hypocrisy. A little honesty iu politics mighl be an innovation, but it would be a great thing nevertheless. Wc have got a hunch that there will not he an election until the [rust is out of the ground all over lhc province. Then an election will be called and an army of men will he turned loose all over the province building roads, trails, hridges, public buildings, and each riding will be Invaded in this way with an industrial brigade that will be expected to do its duty hy tbe McBride government. The scheme is au old one, and some times successful, in the case of the McBride administration it will fall flat. Tbe people will not be fooled that easily. McBride now says that he docs not propose to make a political issue of the better terms question. We have said all thc time that he would be foolish to do so, for the reason tliat it would fall of its own weight long before election. The premier has taken the advice of some wise politician in his party. The trusts of the United States raised the pay of all employees a short time ago with a great flourish of trumpets. They are now quietly raising the price of everything to play even, lt is the old story. The consumer must linally meet the cost. Why not raise sugar beets in East Kootenay? That question plight be worth while for thc government to investigate. A beet sugar factory in East Kootenay would be a great tiling. Thc Happy New Year. While you are celebrating Christmas don-'t forget. British Columbia fruit has captured another prize in the Old Country. And yet British Columbia has uot been scratched as yet. It is a great province. Prince Rupert is destined to be a hig town, and within two years after the town is opened tliere will be business lots selling tor more than Bob Green let the band ot adventurers, male and female, have the whole thing for. The Victoria Colonist snys that there is no difference between the attitude or the two parties on the tariff question. There is atl tho difference in the world. The Liberal party stands for a tariff that will prove beneficial to the'people as a whole. The Conservative party would raise the tariff until special interests would reap lhe benefit and tbe masses would pay the expense. Does Mr. Pope or any other person say that Judge Clement paid $7,(HIU for his appointment. Tin- vile chargu of the gentleman from tbe cast should have been condemned by every paper in British Columbia. It was false on the face of it, and was used for political effect alone. If the present gait of misrepresent- tion and partisan radicalism is tept up by the Conservative press ot this province before the campaign is over there will be no limit to their attacks. Already the Kaslo Kootena- ian and the Sandon Miner have reached far into the unknown in their personal abuse, evidently at tho " chest of thoio who put up tho nicy, ''but is enrryiu-; .mli tic.il journalism to an untoftu late CJt* treme. Percy Goodcnrath, the well known correspondent, has just got married. That is the hest assignment that you ever took, Percy, and here's hoping that you make good. There have been three Issues of the local M.c,Brirle organ since the vile slander was uttered against J. A. Macdonald, tbe Liberal leader, charging him with interfering with the Fernie conl strike in favor of the compnny and against the Interests of the men. And yet no apology has been given nor any explanation offered. Is tbat tbe plan of campaign that McBride's organs throughout the province propose to follow? If that is true the people will be fully prepared and will know how much dependence to place on any statement made against Mr. Macdonald or his party. Mow are you Tom? Good morn- ng, Jerry. Glad that you came In. Oregon and Washington farmers took the law into their own hands during the recent coal famine and helped themselves to coal Irom pas- sing trains, paying tbe market price i longer, What a Dollar Will Do TH K mini or wouitin who hns studied domestic, economies mul profited thereby, knows lull well Imw t.i .....k.i the dollar w> n» fur us possible, Tlie idust icily nf the dollar nl Cliristiiinstide is nil Important fuetor in the nlVairs nf every family.

Mr. Wilson went east this fall to personally select his stock and in consequence ho got first choice and the lowest prices. Ills patrons will he the ones who will get the benefit of his foresight. W. F. Tate & Son have just received a magnificent Waltham wall show case, one of tbe finest of the kind ever brought into the Kootenays. ilt Is fifteen feet long and has a large I mirror in the center. This enterprising firm are to be congratulated on the manner in which they keep advancing. P. H. Johnson, of Calgary, agent for the Hall Safe company, and one of the greatest hustlers in this part of the country, dropped into town this evening and sold a sale before he left the station platform. They, don't make many salesmen like: Johnson. Did you notice the mild weather today? Did you notice the sign of a chinook? It was all due to the arrival of Joe Youngheart, one of the chosen people. Debonair as usual, a few new stories, immaculate in appearance, Joe wafted into the city and met a host of friends who are always pleased to see him. He will eat pork and beans at Winnipeg for Christmas. I tiEORGE HILLIER LEAVING. George Hillier, who for years has been the C, P. R. agent at this 'point, leaves next week for Lady- smith, to take charge of the C. P. R. station at that point. This change has been made necessary by 'the failing health of Mr. Hillier, as he has never fully recovered from the severe attack ot sickness that.he had last summer. Perhaps there is not a man in Cranhrook whose departure will occasion more sincere regret than that of Mr. .HUHer, Quiet in his manner, always attend- I ing to business, anxious to please I lhe people who paid their money to I the C. P.

Mr. Hillier is one ofi tho I most competent men in the railroad j business tn Western Canada and tho 'Herald can only wish blm, first Improved health, and second, all tbe success ami prosperity that a man of his ability is entitled to. ♦ TWO MEN KILLED, Yesterday morning a young mnn named William Kelly, employed hy .the Porto Rico Lumher company at Moyie, was working in the bush | where thc men were falling trees.

A special dcspalch to the Nelson Daily Canadian trom Grand Forks says that Uuptain W. Beiitley, who bus had considerable experience among lhc Hindoos, has just given some rather startling information about these people. He says tliat fully one-third of the Hindoos here arc women who are dressed in tho Identical costume as the men. It seems tliat lu nearly all cases the women seek employment us wood cutlets, as this particular class of work is generally alloted to the female Hindoos. It is also reported that a considerable number of the Hindoos employed in Fisher's railway camp under Timekeeper Duulop aie also women, which accounts lor them being better workers than the general Hindoo. ONE ON Mil. BUTT-IN. A San Franciscan was talking ahout the humorist, Jerome K. .ierome, "1 crossed the Atlantic with Mr. Jerome," he said, "the last time lie visited America. There was uu board an information lieml—one oi those bores with a lot ol Information on tap about everything under Llie sun—and Mr, Jerome had a horror lor him. As we leaned over the rail one morning the iulormatlon liend joined 'Gentlemen,' lie said, pompously, as he waved his hand out over the great expanse of water, 'if the earth were flattened out the sea would bu two miles deep all over the world.' 'Well,' said Mr. Jerome, 'if you catch any man flattening out the earth shoot him oi) the spot, for 1 cau't swim.' " CONSERVATIVf. MEETING.

Cranbrook is uow rated a.s a "port of entry," no less, a title that suggests ships uud that world's right uf way lhe ocean. It gives a clue to the conditions under which the term came to be applied lo the lax imposed ou goods of a dutiable nature coming from over seas which were mainly luxuries iu the early days uf lhe imposition of the duties. In modem days the term has a sweeping significance and it is almost as haul lo Iimi au article (raw material excepted) on the tree list us it is tu lind a dog with two tails. Harry While, our very capable aud popular collector ol customs, slates that all the machinery .shipped in for the Kast Kooteuay Lumber company, at Jaffray, fot the Adolphs •it IJayui-s lake and the big Haker mill al Waldo was cleared at Kernle. Hud all this stuff came through our home port thc receipts for the current year would have been very largely increased ami would give a clearer idea of the progress of the districl, since this very expensive machinery outfit (representing iu the aggregate well over Jioii.mui) was i ii tended for concerns directly con- "■riier! with Cranhrook and not, at all with Kernie. Like every oilier public department in our city the customs makes a most excellent showing highly indicative of good times and general prosperity. should englisSen BRING WIVES? (Calgnry Trade Ga'/ell.c.) "A Colonial," writes to the London (EfljC.) Spectator, calling attention to the fact that more men than women emigrate to Canada, and asking that the Imperial and Colonial governments do something lo en- cournge the colonization of Hrilish women along with these men in the Dominion. The gist of his trouble is well expressed in the following paragraph: "The chances are that the majority of young bachelors from Britain will i-tib* in those districts where whole families from (he United Slates are hiking up wheat lands in the Northwest, and, naturally, it follows that lhe ypung Britisher will find his helpmate in a woman horn under the Stars and Stripes, and little likely to engraft into the being of her family the traditions of a Unlled Empire. Canadian women of British ancestry are probably even more loyal to the British ling than arc the women of the old land, their loyalty to the hest traditions of English home life is proverbial: but Canadian women are a mere handful in that "teat west. It is a heterogeneous mass of womanhood from which the l.iujlish immigrant, to-dav has to choose." II is wonderful how manv things a tn.in will find to worry about if he will look. At the present time, we may assume that every British desires to lllll* tn tl coming lo Cannda, who lo so, and who is also so under existing conditions. To induce any more to come, jwe should have to oiler mure tempi- lug opportunities; and there arc those nmoiigsi us—and not a lew— who Llllllk that possibly we aie coddling Itnmigration too much as it is. The effect of hm much assistance would be lo bring us lhe "weaklings" and I ihc "failures;"1 and these are precisely the sort of people whom we [in a new and comparatively rough country to not require. Goncrallyi speaking, the man or woman in i Hn t i.i in whu wants fo eome to Cannda, but wlm cannot manage to get here with all the helps now provided, bad better Slav al home. I As for the fear tlmt tho Intermar- jrfago of these British bachelors with American girls will lead to a national annexation, Dial is hardly woiib the ink it takes to record it". (These international alliances are | gul to as nnl to work the other wav. I The British influence in ihc home has nn its side existing political conditions and all the commercial nnd Industrial forces which make of our people such well-established imperialists; bul if ii were nol fur the Intrusion of this British element, the home made up wholly of American sel Hers, mighl be Impervious to these Influences. In any case, If, in lhe long run, it does nol appear to our people thai they will be better off a.s British than as American, no amount of hereditary prejudice can keep them so; and this conviction for or against British connection will rest upon facts quite as apparent to tin* German, to fhe American or to anv other foreigner as to the son of Old Canada, or of Old England. WHAT EDITORS SAY LACKED THK NEWSPAPER TOUCH. Ksfevan, Sask., Mercury: There has got to be a change made in the substance of the governor-general's speech from the throne. At the opening of parliament on 21st Inst., Earl Orey, in a few carefully worded phrases, referred to his recent trip through the west, and spoke of the Imppi ness a nd prosperil v of t he. people, hut he tells us nothing ahout how he got his eye hurt in Winnipeg, or abuut the Sunday duck shooting at Pilot .Mound, or the peculiarities of Calgary hospitality. We are disappointed. That speech from the throne mighl have been made really interesting. A CRUSHING REPLY. Ottawa Journal: In the opinion of The Toronto Globe "the strengthening of the law against combinations in restraint of trade i.s one of the best features of the tariff legislation." We are inclined to remark in the language of the street, "Hats!" The change is worth nothing unless the government of the day was anxious to make thc Jaw operative, the old law was plenty good enough. THEV NEED THE MONEY. Kingston News: Some are disappointed that, the duties were not lowered in the new tariff, Why should Ihey be? Doesn't the government want all the money it can net'.' HITHERTO UNNOTICED. Hamilton Spectator: It is to he hoped that Hamilton has succeeded iu attracting the attention of the government lo the fact of its existence. \ JOLT THAT WILL WAKE THEM UP. Brant ford Expositor: This uprising of labor will probably teach the Whitney government a great needed lesson. Heretofore the members of that government and their followers have passed nothing to benefit the industrial classes, and have refused lo carry out one promise they made —namely, to see that all convict, made goods were labelled such. They also made intolerable the position of .Mr, R, rilockliug, lhe late secretary of the bureau ol lahor, thus bringing about his resignation, If they are not made drunken hy their immense majority they will lose no lime in showing activity in a direction too long neglected. MAIDEN TAKES IT SERIOUSLY. Oltawa Citizen: If Sir Wilfrid's interest iu the Georgian Bay canal is a simple flirtation he may yet find himself with a breach of promise suit on his hands. CAPITAL WILL HAVE TO BUCK UP. Brockville Times: There seems to he something hoggish about recent labor troubles in Canada, Kirst the strikers were busy at, Buckwgfcaim and next Ihey got active in bucking Hamilton. TIIE NURSERY UP-TO-DATE. Ottawa Citizen: Tbe Guggen- heiins will catch vou if vou don't look out, HELPING THE EMPIRE. Calgary Alhertan: It is a matter of some satisfaction that the administration which crentetl lhe British preference and made it a factor in the fiscal life not only of this country, hut indirectly in that of other colonies, continues to advance in preferential ideas. It is Willi pride lhat Canadians can point to the decided policy of the Canadian government, which, without invitation or much expectation of reward, comes again to the assistance of Britain in her greal struggle to maintain tho 'ommercia! supremacy of the world. THE LAST HUMILIATION. fluelph Herald: Not until Count Bonl is refused a job shoveling snow will he realize what a snap he hail as husband 1n the fioiild millions. A BADLY SCARED OPPOSITION. Calgary Herald: To vindicate and ake of any use the party system of government it is absolutely necessary that his majesty's loyal opposi. tinn should hold an effective numerical ratio to His Majesty's government, ministers and members. When Ihis is not the case, partVgovern- meiit has no raison d'etre, and its existence cannot be defended. It is the governing party in Alberta that wise citizens justly look for a recog nition of this truth and fur a vindication of this time honored system of government, through encouraging lhe constant presence in her legislature of a strong minority of men i loyal to the country's interests, audi able tu see and honestly criticize government policy, errors in which are, obviously, not nearly so likelv to become visible to olliee holder's and lheir followers wul hunt this salutary aid.

Windsor Record: Wonder is expressed that five thousand persons appeared to welcome Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco, whn was indicted for graft, but cut shorl his European tour to "face his trnducers." The warmth and magnitude of the welcome may only prove that there are nt least five thousand thieves in San Francisco. /3HHPPED I HANDS ^*(^k>ffa***r 11 is nol Ihe annoyance alone which makes chapped hands a source ol pave trouble to housewives and outdoor workers ; it is Ihe danger ol festering and inllammation.

After all, Mr. McKay said, what wns most wanted 111 Hrilish t'olumbia were roads and trails. It was a well known fact that the country possessed large tracts of land, hitherto unexplored, suitable to farming, slock ' raising ami other such pursuits. Hut unlike the prairie territories, It was very hard to reach, ll was impossible almost for any but the most active of men to got Into "these lands of t'anann." Women could not go, as a general rule. Such ;i suggestion would be mel tVith expressions of derision from those experienced in the mysteries of the depths of British Columbin forests and the ruggcdnoss of the mountains of ihis country. Therefore, surveyed lines would nnl help materially iri the general development . Money could bo much more profitably spent on such roads whieh were, in shorl, absolutely necessary.

ODDS AND ENDS (My the lleiald's Tame Englishman.) j In thi: long winter eveaiugs when lhe wind roves and tlie snow falls thick on the mountains, the unlettered peasants of the Abruwi provinces of mother Italy sit round their big open lire places, anil while th** men make baskets and the women spin Ihey tisteu to old tales. Some of these tales have been collected by Senior de. Nino in his book "Csi e Costunii Vbrusxesl." One of the legends, entitled, "Why poverty is always with us," is as follows: In those days Our Lord and St. Peter were wandering on the earth. One night thej lodged in the house of an old woman whose name was Poverty. Poverty said to Our Lord, "t!uod m.in, lodging I can give you, but no food, 1 am myself dying of hunger." Oui Lord replied, "The lodging will be enough, give no heed to tbe rest." si Peter's face lengthened and he could not sleep all night. Mow can anyone sleep on an empty Btomach? Sn at daybreak he lose and wliis- peied iu the ear of Poverty: "You must know that Me who is with es is the Masiti who woiks so many miracles. Ask lum foi a boon." As Um Lold was departing Hie uld woman came out and kneeled down belore lum. "What du yuu waul?' he .isKCtl. "1 ivibU," sue SAid, "tu say Hi.it it grieves me uui lu have been a uie iu i.i j iin-u hetuie yuu. "Uial is uo mattei', tue luring was suiueieut," answered uur Loru, ' uu yuu waul anything*' ' "1 have, cunimued Hie old wuiuaii, "three rtMls ul lanu behind this hut, anu llierc is a pe.u tree, which every year is laden with fruit, but the pears ait- all slulcn belore they are ripe." 'tthat can l du?" replied Uur Loni, "am I to stand guard uver >our pear tree?" "Ob, no," answered Lhe uld woman, "bui 1 wuuld that whatsoever Uiiubs up my tree should be unable to gel down without my leave. ' "It i.s granted unto thee," answered Our Lord, and went Mis way. 'lhe pears were ripening when Ilea th, aroused with his scythe, c.une to ihe old woman, i "Poverty, prepare thyself, for thine hour has come. .'banks be to find," she said, "J have called Mice many times, 1 have waited king fm Thee and 1 come willingly. But first do me a service. Pick "me a pear from off that tree, I have not lusted one for so many years." 1 Death climbed the tree and could not come down again, and Poverty laughed at Him. Then Death said, that everything depended on the old woman, and began to pray to her as to a saint. Hut she turned a deaf ear, so that Death remained as one bound to the tree for vears and years. Meanwhile, the population increased beyond all measure. No vonder, for no new horn babe diel, old people dreamed of Mcthu ■ .lem, and the yearly crops no longer sutltced, All this time Death could not move, and at lasf be began to treat with Poverty. "II thou wilt let me .'ome down I swear that I will never touch thee." jThou hast sworn?M she asked. "Then be free." And death descended and began his usual slaughter, Hul he never c.imu mar the old woman Poverty, atel that is whv we have poverty ever with u£. Prettv little legend, 'isn't It? I It is strange that iiltlnum Poverty is always with ns, sometimes fortune takes a turn in the rn >si extraordinary and unaccountable manner. ■ Tlie story comes from Nevada telling the strange ease of a man who ,traded an old horse for a handful of mining stock, which now makes lum rich. This recalls the thousand and one instances of the marvelous turns that the wheel of fortune has made in the great west. i The instance just cited might well be true, whether it is or not. Tliere are thousands of others beyond a shadow of a doubt, wliich are even stranger than this is. The wheel of fortune is always turning. t The. telling of these wonderful tales depicting the unaccountable freaks of fortune's wheel invariably carries a moral with them in addition to being highly entertaining. They not only serve to prove tliat a man should never despair as long as he has a leg to go on, but that his chance may come, even after he has lost tbe leg. At the time that the gentleman in Nevada made the trade it would be hard to say which had the best of the deal, but time showed that it was a horse on tiie man who gave up the mining stock. All is fair in a trade as iu love aud Wiir, however, and it only goes to prove that Hiehard the third was not the only ui.ui who wanted to give a kingdom for a horse. I It should not be understood from the above that men wbo own horses valued at anything over six bits, are advised lo make a practice of trading them for mining stock in a thoughtless and promiscuous manner. All mining stocks are not assets Hiat can be counted on to ultimately bring fortunes to their owners. As a matter of (act there are thousands of reams of milling stocks on the market to-day, besides those that are shoved inlo pigeon holes and roll-top desks anil bidden away in old trunks, a ship luad ol which would not he worth enough to buy a breakfast for a snow bird. Dm let us take our chances trying, never to be over-foolish or over-wise. Never despair. The wheel of fortune is whirling, whirling day and night, always. Some, time it may stop at the place where you have placed your two hit piece. Oo ahead, keep plugging along, and good luck to you.
