Fresh from, his labors in the Provincial house, Jas. H. Schofield was ban- quetted by a representative gathering of Creston men on Saturday night last. Mr. Schofield arrived unexpectedly on Friday afternoon, and although the banquet was arranged hurriedly, it was a tremendous success. Many of his friends on both sides of the political fence were there, but it goes without saying fhere would have been many more had the banquet been more advertised. Every seat in the dining hall of the Creston Hotel was occupied., Ed. Mallandaine occupied the chair and Cnas. O. Rodgers the vice-chair, whilst upon the right hand of the chairman sat the guest of honor. The menu was an eye-opener to the assembled guests, all going the limit to tuck away as much as possible of the dainty viands provided. Messas Mead & Moran excelled themselves. Dainty gold-blocked menu cards were prepared by the Review for this special occasion. The room was very tastefully decorated and the tables were a masterpiece of the decorator's, art. During the evening, Mr. W. J. Downey secured a flashlight picture of the assembled guests. : After the tables were cleared of the good things, : the punch bowl was introduced and the toast list begun, that of " The Eahg'"y being accorded National musical honors. Then came the toast of the evening,.'" Our Guest," and this was drunk with great gusto, and the singing of "He's a jolly good fellow " was loud and prolonged. Thee cheers and a tiger were then given, and when *Mr." Schbfield'rdse to respond, the enthusiasm of the guests was unbounded. Mr. Schofield began by thanking them very, heartily for the splendid reception accorded him, and then he plunged into a spontaneous outburst of oratory that was listened to with rapt attention and being frequently. punctuated with applause. Ho spoke of the tplendid work that had been accomplished at Victoria during tl^e last session, and he paid a glowing tribute to the members of the Opposition benches and the Socialists for the manner in which they had combined with the Government to accomplish good work for our glorious province. Ho said the session was the most amicable one in his experience, the proceedings throughout being marked by the absence of any friction. Continuing he related the details of sovoral of tho bills passed that ho thought were not generally understood by tho people, aud. then he touched on tho legislation that had with a direct local bearing. He was loudly applauded at .every point he enumerated. His speech was entirely free from any semblance of egotism, nor did any passage occur that would give offence to any of the guests of a different political calibre. The speeches thoughout the evening were remarkably good, the toasts and the names of the gentlemen who responded appearing below:. \ The King Our Guest, Mr. J. H. Schofield, M.P.P.

Regulation 5 is repealed and one taking its place provides that nursery men and orchard- ists must immediately disinfect any infected stock by methods provided for in the regulations, and the disinfection must be approved of by a member of the Board of Inspectors. No trees or shrubs' which haye been infected may be distributed until a certificate has been issued by the fruit inspector, the certificate to remain in force for only three months after date. The Fruit Inspector | may order the destruction of infected stock and if the order be not complied with in a specified time the work of destruction may be done by the officials and the cost charged to the owner of the stock. Regulation S is also replaced with one giving wider powers to the inspector over imported fruit. He or his agent may quarantine and destroy at the cost of the owner any infected fruit intended or exposed for sale. Local Company Arranging For a Long Distance Service The Cre3ton Power, Light and Telephone Co., Ltd., has entered into an arrangements with the Kootenay Telephone Lines Ltd"., that will give the present patrons of the line a much better service than the most sanguine hoped for when the system was installed. It means that the patrons of the Oreston local system will shortly be in canneefcion with Calgary and all points of th������ Alberta Government system, also ���������with Seattie; Portland, Vancouver and other coast points. The Company is also going to instal a��������� copper-metallic system, right through from the Alberta lines to connect with the local system. There is another sr* rangement pending between the Creston Power, Light and Telephone Co. (telephone interest) and tho Kootenay Telephone Lines Ltd., bnt this is not yet ratified. If this deal goes throngh it will mean that the Consolidated Companies will spend about $2,000 in this district in the very near future. As far as the improvement in" the service is concerned it will mean the immediate installation of a 100 drop switchboard,, and all the telephones in tho town will be placed oa a_6ingle line circuit."

Sir,���������I lend herewith a chaiu letter sent out from Nelson in the interests of the revival craze (or species of emotional insanity) which speaks for itself. Where are Christ's teaching or charity in this: " 'AN ANCIENT PRAYER. Oh, Lord Jesus, I implore Thee to bless all mankind. Keep us from all evil by Thy precious blood, and take us'to dwell with. Thee in Eternity.' This was sent to me ;��������� copy it and see what will happen. It is said in Jerusalem thaC he who will write this prayer nine days to nine friends, commencing Gn the day received, will experience some great joy on the ninth day, but he who will not will have misfortune. Do not break this chain of prayer. Make chain wish while writing you will be delivered from all calamities. Do not sign your name. Make chain among your friends for the good of all mankind,'. The promise of blessings and the threat of penalties after the prayer are in the same moral plane as the barbarous fetish religions of the cannibals of darkest Africa, In the course of a few weeks tho mails will without doubt be burdened with similar epistles. All sensible people will burn them as soon as they receive them and to that extent stamp out this tommyrot. Yours truly, ARTHUR OKELL. advertising campaign mustbo continued.

Cool evenings, however, are a persistent factor for the e:aj6yment of repose. The Wrly springs are very' favorable for gardening and budding fruit tree. . The. autumns are very long and the weather is of ah ideal Indian summer. Violets and wild strawberries bloom, as late as November. While there is a sblendid local demand for products, the, principalmarkets for the Greston district are the big centres of the Crows' Nest Pass and all cities as far east as Fort William -and Chapleau/ and as far north as Athabasca "Landing, We are absolutely the closest producing- point- to the markets, therefore we receive higher prices by reason of our products, reaching the markets in shorter; time and better in condition than can be done by any other district. The soil is an alluvial cldy'on a,clay:sub- soil. This does hot apply* however, to the entire valley, as the lower bench lands are of a black vegetable mould, while the land in the vicinity of Erickson is of a sandy character. Four-fifths of the entire valley is free'from stones and gravel. The land is practically level and mostly covered with timber. Fine Government roads are plentiful, one being thirteen miles in length/Soil to suit any kind of vegetation may be secured in this valley. Creston is well favored in the' matter of transportation. The C. P. R. passenger trains call here twice daily, going east and ������ West. ,, -The eastbound passenger and ex- a press passes through here at i2.1 p.m. therefore allowing berries and fruits to be picked in the forenoon;,and shipped in a re- f frigelator car with no further handling of fruit until the markets are reached. The G. N. runs trains into Creston. The railroads pass through the Creston Valley, and fruit may be loaded at eight points along the line. flbrogtess /Iftoisture Moisture^is plentiful, as it raius every month and is sufficient for bountiful crops of every description. HJ>robucts The famous'strawberry fields of Creston have outclassed every 'district iu British Columbia this year for production, 'quality and prices. In addition to this we raise hay and all kinds ot vegetables, apples, peaches, pears, plums,cherries, nectarines and grapes as well as all the smaller bush fruits, which grow in abundance ..megiwm WRITE FOR ANY INFORMATION The progress of the Fruit Growing Industry of the district has been very rapid. Five1 years ago there was 150 fruity tree's shipped to the Crestou district, while in the spring of 1908 about 48,000 were received at this point. There were also several hundred thousands" of strawberry plants and berry bushes shipped iu. We have a rural telephone system, which will shortly be connected with Nelson ' and Cranbrook, it being already connected with Spokane. A system for waterworks and.also for generating electric power has been installed at Goat River Falls, Electricity will also aid in opening up some of our large mines. We have a good (graded School with an attendance of 65 pupils, two large general stores, gent's furnishings, Canadian Bank of Commerce, photograph gallery, 3 restaurants, 2 hotels, hardware store, tinsliop, ��������� jewelry store, 2 barber shops, poolroom, 2 laundries, blacksmith, furniture store, tailor, building contractors, harness and saddlery store and two livery stables.
