C, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1916. §2 PER YEAR The Time For Pruning It is admitted that to favor a free growth of wood and leaves pruning should be performed while fruit trees are dormant. On the other hand, if the promotion of fruitfulness at the expense of growth is desired pruning should be Hone on the tree in leaf and growing. It. is commonly conceeded that summer pruning allows of a speedy healing of wounds. Both summer and winter pruning have their advantages, but unless a tree is especially vigorous the pruning should not be done after the buds begin lo swell. Winter pruning is preferable for hardy trees, as it allows the freshmade surfaces dry a'ftd heal before the commencement of growth in spring. But on tender trees pruning should should be deferred until near spring, as the cutting away of branches makes the trees more susceptible- to the effects of cold. If pruned at the approach of the spring season the trees are not checked in their growth ?is is the case with summer pruning, when the tree loses a portion of its leaves and becomes suddenly set back in the performance of its functions. An experiment in which a branch was cut from an apple tree in every month of the year showed when all the wounds had healed over that it was most decayed at the cuts that had been made in June and July, and least decayed . at points that had been pruned in February and March. The decay from summer pruning was about three times as great as from winUr. If the pruning is done before the discharge of sap from roots and branches commences so that tlie sap pores may be Hosed by drying, the force of the sap will be directed to the remaining branches and without check or derang- ment. As the healing of wound* is better accomplished in winter, the removal of all heavy limbs that are not wanted, should be made in winter, and in fact nearly ail pruning of apples in particular should take place at that season. —Fruit Grower. Church Service* Coming' Into Our Own The decision of the various Dominion Government departments and of the C. P. railway to use Canadian timber only, to the exclusion of imported t'mber, is a decided advantage in the utilization of Canadian timber and, therefore, marks a definite gain for the cause of conservation in Canada. Southern pine, even in 1915, was imported to the extent of 95,000,000 feet, having a value of $3,ooo,ooo. The Dominion Government has in past years used many million feet of Southern pine in various public works, but henceforth Canadian timber will be used to the exclusion of the foreign article. Douglas fir will replace Southern pine in such works as Quebec and Montreal harbour improvements and Hudson Bay terminals. Douglas fir has been used entirely in the Toronto Harbour works, as a clause was inserted in the contract calling for Canadian material. The action of Baron Shaughnessy in ruling that Canadian timber only shall be used in works of the Canadian Pacific railway shows that large private user's are also finding it consistant with present conditions to use Canadian products. Other consumers throughout Eastern Canada, large and small, will follow the lead of the two largest users. Architectural and engineering professions also are rapidly using Douglas fir and home grown products. Methodist: Sunday School at 11 Evening.service 7.30 Pastor-Rev. J. R.

We understand there will be another wedding in our midst shortly. Teamsters and others should bear in mind that it is unlawful to "deposit refuse on or near any public highway." Filth will breed numerous flies and germs to the danger of any community. Mr. F. Stevens of Soda Creek, was a visitor to Lillooet during the past week and was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Adams. Mr. Stevens is a rancher in that district and is very optimistic concerning its future, at present things are looking good. Constable ft. L. Mathews and Mrs. Mathews left Lillooet this week fo>* Van Anda, Texada, Island, B.C., to which place 'Bob' has been transferred. The good wishes of their many friends go with them fur success in their, new station. r J. Bourne has been installed at Lillooet. Friends are anxious to obtain information concerning Harold J. L>. Harper who came to Canada 12 or 13 years ago, and when last heard of, which was about 2 years ago, was employed during the winter months at the Rock Bay Hotel Victoria. He is 36 veary of age. Anyone knowing his whereabouts kindly communicate with M.' R. J. Reid, Immigration Inspector, .Vancouver. The bright sunny days of March and April are an induemnent for the housefly to appear. An early start in destroying these pests should be made on the first fly seen, and the good work should be consistently and effectively carried on. The destruction of the early fly will mean the saving of valuable lives, as there is no more persistent carrier and distributor of disease than the house fly. ' New Lodger---Is this all the soap there is in the room? Landlady (decided]}) Yes, sir. all I can allow for one room. Lodger — Well, I'll take two more rooms. I want to wash my face in the morning. Mr. J. B. Perkins of Berkly, California, visited Lillooet recently in connection with the Molybdenite ore deposit at Texas and Cottonwood creeks." It is the intention of the holders to build a trail from the property down Texas creek to connect with the Dickey road, a distance of about seven miles. The ore will be packed to the said road thence loaded on trucks and conveyed to the Lillooet depot on the Pacific Great Eastern Railway and shipped to the Bethlehem Steel Works of Philadelphia who are to receive the ore. The ore on this property is said to be very rich and to extend for some considerable distance. We understand that work on the trail will be started shortly. This property is said to be bonded for $500,000. New Publication We art in receipt of the rfist issue of "The Pacific Canadian." Its birth took place in New Westminster and is edited by Mr. Geo.

The dove of international peace ought to be encouraged over the fact that China's new minister to the United States is named Koo. The farmer had just called the new hired man at four-thirty, saying that they would cut the oats that morning. The hired man enquired if the oats were tame or wild, and on being toM they were tame suggested that it would be as well to wait until daylight and then sneak up or, them. The class was studying grammar. "Now," said the teacher, "can anyone give me a word ending with 'ous' meaning fuli of, as in 'dangerous,' full of danger, and 'hazardous,' full of hazard?". There was silence in the class for a moment. Then a boy sitting in the front row put out his hand. "Well, John," said the teacher. "Please sir," came the reply, " 'pious,' full of pie." Will Refine in Canada. • In a reply made to Sir Robert Borden who has asked the International Nickle Company to establish a nickle refining plant in Canada, the Company stated; "We will grant your request and erect in the Dominion at such point as seems in our judgement most economical for operation, a plant for the refining of nickle of such initial capacity as will secure to Great Britain and Canada within themselves the production of finished nickle to the extent of their requirement." This is the direct result of the action of the Provincial Mining Department of Ontario who have a commission investigating the nickle industry for the purpose of ascertaining if nickle cannot be refined in Ontario. The International Nickle Company anticipates the report and action of Ontario government. —Ledge. Wedding The marriage took place at the home of Mr. F. Kaltenbach, Ashcroft, of Mr. William Greenwood, constable at Ashcroft, and Miss Iva Bishop, of Ashcroft, Rev. Father Wagner of Kamloops officiating. Mr. Greenwood has been provincial constable at Ashcroft for about one year. The bride, whose parents live at Bridge River near Lillooet, has been employed for some years with Mrs. R Morgan of Ashcroft. The Journal extends its congratulations.—Ashcroft Journal. The "Prospector" wishes to ex- teud its best wishes to the happy couple, for a happy and prosperous wedded life. Geo. W. Prout, member for Kildonian St. Andrew, in the Manitoba Legislature, recently delivered himself of a mixed metaphor which materially added variety to the proceedings of the day. Mr. Prqu.» was speaking on farm credits. He was very much in earnest. He advocated a system which would benefit the poor farmer. "We want a system, sir," he said "by means of which the farmer will be able to raise wheat, oats and barley; and these when boiled down to brass tacks, is gold." The assembly roared. A young American artist who has just returned from a six months' job of driving a British ambulance on the war front in Belgium brings the following; "One cold morning a sign was pushed up above German trench facing ours, only about fifty yards away, which bore in large letters the words; "Got mit tins!" One of our cockney lads, more of a patriot than a linguist, looked at this for a moment and then lamp blacked a big sign of his own, which he raised on a stick. It read: "We Got Mittuns, Too!" During 1915 the fur trade of Saskatchewan prospered greatly. Over 950.0C0 pelts, valued at approximately $600,000, were marketed, as compared with slightly over 700,000 pelts in 1914. The number of dealers reporting was 131.

Trade Reorganization A special luncheon of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association was held on Feb. 23rd, at which the members were given an opportunity of hearing an address by Mr. F. C. Armstrong, European manager of the Export Association of Canada, Ltd. Mr. Armstrong is on a brief visit to Canada, after making a careful study of the general business situation in England and France. While abroad he had exceptional opportunities for obtaining reliable information regarding the fiscal polices that are likely to be adopted by the Allies before the war is over. In his address he said that he had gone to England about the end of September, 1915, to look over the situation there and on the continent, in behalf of the Export Association of Canada. He had now returned to report upon the position as he found it in Great Britain, France and elsewhere, and to consult with the directors and shareholders of the Association as to future steps. The subject of export trade was of the most vital importance to every Canadian. Next to the winning of the war'the most important thing for Canada and for all the allies was to organize their manufacturing industries, importation facilities, etc., so thoroughly that after the war the prosperity of the country would go on without interruption. When one spoke of 1 after the war" there had f drmerly been a great deal of misunderstanding as to just what was meant. During his visit to England and France he had realized that a great unanimity of opinion was developing as to what this term involved. The people of the allied countries nad come to realize that they could not be satisfied with winning the war, but must rid the world of German aggression after defeating Germany's army in the field. If they allowed Germany after the war, to build up her commerce and wealth, they would be giving her power once more to forge another weapon with which to renew her scourge upon civilization.

Trade Reorganization—What the War Involves (From page two) matter of the salvation of humanity that Germany must not agaip. be entrusted with power to repeat the damage which she had been inflicting during the present war. It was necessary, first of all, to crystalize public sentiment into some concrete and definite understanding of the method by which they could put it beyond the power of any individual to buy German goods, or, if he bought them, to make the price so high that the goods would no longer be attractive. The ordinary machinery for accomplishing such a result was that of tariffs. Mr. Armstrong had been enabled to speak with many representatives of both political parties in Great Britain and had become convinced that all people in Great Britain were now a unit upon the subject of dealing with the tariff question on national and economic lines. Prominent Liberals had told him that there would be no resumption of the tariff fight. The free trade and conscription fights in Great Britain had gone into the melting pot. England would deal in future with the tariff problem from an entirely new angle so that the way would be clear for working out a plan for consoUdating and strengthing the whole Empire. The British Government and nearly every important commercial association in Gt. Britain had taken the matter actively in hand and were calling for some preferential trade arrangements which would be effective along these lines. Sir Richard Musgrave, secretary of London Chamber of Commerce, had put the matter to him in a very definite form, saying that what they had in view was first of all, to make arrangements for looking after the interests of the Empire, then to do all they could to promote the interests of the allies, then to treat with neutrals as they had deserved, and finally to deal with the enemy and to take the necessary steps to exclude his trade from allied countries. Invitations had been sent out, Mr. Armstrong said, for a meeting on June 4th, of the Imperial Chambers of Commerce, to be held in London, the chief object of which would be to get the best bus- EXCELSIOR HOTEL Alex.

WINES, LIQUORS, AND TBE BEST OF CIGARS iness opinions of the different portions of the Empire to aid in working out the commercial problems that would develop after the war. First of all, he believed, that it would be recognized that there would be trade preference given within the British Empire. It was important therefore, to perfect their representation in all the countries which make up the Empire; in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Crown Colonies, India, etc. The Export Association of Canada had already been able to make arrangements for representatives in New Zealand and Australia, both of which arrangements were working extremely satisfactory, except for the difficulty in securing transportation. These representatives would become distributing machinery of great value. In England Mr. Armstrong had been able to conclude arrangements for promoting Canada's trade with the Crown Colonies. He had even been able to secure orders for many thousands of dollars worth of material, which in most cases, unfortunately, we could not supply because we were so heavily engaged in the production of war order materials. Canada, however, could count upon a very large field for her manufactured goods in these colonies in the future. In regard to india and the east it had appeared to him to be inadvisable to open up connections there at present when they were unable to furnish either the goods or the transportation. The promotion of trade in these countries might be left in a- beyance for the time being. In South Africa they were being pressed by the trade Commissioner, Mr. Egan, to extend their organization and to help in building up Canada's trade with that country. Perhaps the most difficult country of all to deal with was Great Britain, especially under the present restrictions in regard to transportation. The recent statement by Mr. Lloyd George that the Government of Great Britain had made a mistake in not taking complete control of shipping at the beginning of the war was of great importance. Mr. Armstrong believed that if the Government should take control of shipping, Canada would really be benefitted thereby because, when tonnage is scarce it is inadvisable to tie up shipping in carrying gooas from very distant countries such as Australia and the Argentine, when the necessary materials can be had from countries such as those of North America which are so much nearer Great Britain. After the war, many coun tries would be urgently in need of articles which formerly could only be made in Germany. The allies could only complete Germany's e- conomic defeat by supplying these materials. Russia had been buying three hundred million dollars worth of goods from Germany annually, in fact over fifty per cent, of the manufactured goods she imported. She could not produce these goods herself. As soon as the war was over she would have to get them. She would not be able them from France or Belgium, because all of Belgium and the finest manufacturing districts of France had been devastated by Germany. She would have to turn to Great Britain and Great Britain would be very fully occupied and w'ld only be able to take care of a portion of the damand. Then Russia would have to come across the Atlantic. She would come to Canada, beyond any doubt, and would strengthen her tendency to buy Canadian material. But she would not come to Canada to anything like the possible maximum extent unless we went to Russia ourselves and showed her our ability to furnish such materials as she required. If we did so, Russia would be prepared to buy our goods in preference to United States goods. We must theretore study themar- kets of Russia, and organize our production, distribution and finance, or we would not secure the share which otherwise could easily be had. Mr. R. Young, Manager of the Export Association of Canada, Limited, also spoke briefly, enforcing what Mr. Armstrong had said regarding the importance of organization, and stated that he intended to call upon as many Canadian manufacturers as possible, chiefly those directly interested in the export situation, so as to urge upon them the necessity for joining the Association. Some time in June or September they intended to hold a Canadian National Export Trade Convention which would bring together the carriers, the financiers, the manufacturers and every other national interest which was a factor in the building up of export trade.—Lumberman. _,IX._,OOZIT X.AHD BimUOT DI-TB-T7T or uuooaT Take notice that William Holden of Vancouver, occupation Broker, intends to apply for permission to lease the following described lands Commencing at a post planted 10 chains south of the north east corner of Lot 118, thence east 40 chains, thence south 20 chains, thence west 40 chains, thence north 20 chains, to point of commencement.
