They should  j,s������A{4Mijfl Knt I dislike having iny  name io print so much and was going  to write this letter nnder tbe Non-tle-  plume  "Rancher", and   merely made  thia statement to some of my neighbors  ���������who aaid "Sign yonr nime its a good  cause stay with   it..,"When  will that  ���������"Tpctitionbb'ardnnd, Ave want to sign-it."  * - s  - "Weill when neighbors appreciate information of so valuable a character, to  the betterment of local conditions twill  be as brief us possible.

Wina man had wanted to clear a little  land bo that he could plant n few pota-  tooa and vegetubiea eto;, ho would be  fined $50 and now I understand that no  matter who sets a fixe so long as aaid  ia oil a mans premises he ia liable to this  fine. There may ba places in British  Columbia where such drastic measures  are needed but Creston certainly ia not  one of them. I understand some little  time, ago a Banoher in Oreston was fined  950 for setting ont fire contrary to the  law, bat if such Rancher was honestly  and conscientiously olearing land for to  make a home, I don't believe that the  government of British Colombia has  power to brand snoh a one as a criminal  ������nd subject him to >*������ Sss cf $50 and I  think if such was the contention of the  rancher, that the people shonld petition  the Attorney General to jdiaallow such  action and that the party in question be  reimbursed every dollar of the fine. I  woild-like,* jusfrnoW'to do a little olear-  ing while the days are long, before tbe  fall rush of harvesting' and housing the  product of the ranch comes in, bus tbe  law says no. There could not be .the  slightest bit of danger of fire getting  away. Well, if a man is to be branded  a criminal because he wants to make a  home for himself, and family, we bed  better resurrect the old flint locks which  brought juf tice to our fathers and see if  they will bring forth the Berne fruits of  justice. One thing we can do, one  thing we must do, ode thing we will do,  and that is, to form a Manoipality and  make our own flre laws and advance  with the pace of other countries, who  enjoy thiB freedom.  People are anxiously asking when tbis  Petition will be ready for there signatures. I may sayjthere is a good deal of  work about this to fulfil all the requiro  ments of the law, but the same will be  submitted to you aB quiokly as possible.  With Kind .Regards,  A  T. M. Edmondson.  Oreston Heights.  Editor Review.  Sir:��������� Seeing an article in your paper  in regard to the celebration on Labor  day and notioing there was a difference  of opinion regarding the best place to  hold the sports. I, for one think the  flats the most desireable place, there is  not so much dust and the flats are" suitable for horse races, while the Park is  not level'enough and as there is no seats  provided it makes it bad for the  ladies.  The Park Committee are entitled to  great credit for opening uo same, and if  ic is to become a Public Park for *be  benefit of the public and free of charge  then the publio should help put, it in  shape. If it is a money making scheme  for the Promoters, (and 1 scarcely see  how it can be) then the committee  shonld fix up seats and make it o'oncforti.  able. One more item and I 'will" close.  I notice when there is something of interest, like jumping, nail drawing etc ,  that some of the people think they have  a monopoly on it on it and crowd up so  olose that only about 5 per cent of the  orowd can see. anything more than the  backs' of a lot of men, no ladies ever see  the sports at all. If the men tnat stand  so close would all stand back all could  see and any oue who cannot see a man  jump, one hundred feet from him should  get hia eyea fixed, aa labor day will be a  great mulligan day I would advise every  one to guard their chicken coops.

KOOTENAY SOILS AUU  CULTIVATION  (Continued from last week)  We have this quality in the Legumbus  Family, Peas, Lupines, Glover, Alfalfa.  Why does the Legumous plant take its  nitrogen from the atmosphere instead  of from the soil? The reason is; that  associated with the clover plant, and  living in business with it, we have another plant, so small that it cannot be  seen with the naked eye, we ;call it Bacteria. How many of yoa ever fonnd  under the roots, tiny nodules, like very  little potatoes, if not ybu shonld get one  of these plants and look at same; because  these are the little houses that the bacteria, lives in, and if ypu have nofc these  little roots attached to your plant, you  will not get nitrogen from the air. If  you wish to get clover - to grow, you  must have bacteria, with bacteria your  clover will not turn yellow. Have you-  commenced to grow Alfalfa? (Mr.  Heath interjects "Yes worse luck.)  Well apparently your soil here is full of  not grow alfalfa  to get soil  from some other place where it Was  grown in order to get the bapteria.  It casts about $1 per hundred, to get  nitrogen by growing clover, and this is  far cheaper than Nitrogen of Soda which  is costing you $4 per hundred,, you will  by turning under a crop of clbver.supply  nitrogen at ooe-quarter the cost of purchasing Soda, and you. are also adding  humos A.

The answer is, by cultivation, and here we get  baok to the man with the question mark  after him. As a rule you have plenty  of rain here, ample to grow your crops,  ie ybu have not sufficient moiature in  your soil, do not blame the season or the  weather, but put the big question mark  down after yourself.  Humos will hold 100 to 150 per cent of  water, and it has been known to go as  high as 230 par oent. Thus a pound of  humos will hold a pound and a half of  water.

Most of  your soils here do no not contain one  per cent of humos, so you will see that  you oan increase your water holding  capacity greatly, one crop of clover will  add about one-quarter of one .per cent,  of humos.  Mr. Fairhead asks, ������"What is the difference between nitrate of soda.and turning in a succession of clover crops?"  Answer, Nitrate ol Soda or any other  commercial fertilizer, does not increase  the moisture holding capacity, bnt by  clover or barnyard manure, you increase  your moisture holding capacity.

Yes. but bow?   rull his beard off?  Suddenly 1 threw off the bedclotht3,  jumped up nnd cried, almost aloud,  "Australia!"  Ao episode bad returned to my mind  of which I have spoken at the beginning of this story. The reader may  remember that at the time of the acci-  dent in the laboratory 1 had accompanied M. Robert 'I'ansae to a druggist.  While bis injuries were being attended  fo he bud been obiijred to remove his  study coat, and tbe sleeve of his shirt  had fallen back, leaving his arm bare  through the entire session with the  druggist and placing in full view just  above the rljibt elbow a large birthmark, the shape of which resembled  that of Australia aa it appears on tbe  maps In the geographies. Mentally  ���������while the chemist was at work I bad  amused myself by trying to locate  span tho arm In the positions which  tney occupied on an actual map the  cities of Melbourne. Sydney.

This communication gave  rue more  food for thought, for  I  knew by experience   tbat   whenever   Kouletabille  seemed most occupied witb trivial matters his activity was really most thoroughly  engaged  with  important subjects.

The young woman was greatly, dejected over the unexplained absence of ber uncle, remarked that the letter was "so queer  that it made ber uervous." and sbe informed me that she intended to follow  me to the trout streams.  We started to fish for Rouletabille's  trout. Mrs. Ranee and I bota removed  our shoes and stockings, but 1 concerned myself more about the dainty  bare feet of ray pretty hostess than  about my own. She clambered tnto*  the pools and crept among the rocks  with a grace'which enchanted roe more  than I dared express. Suddenly we  both desisted from our task auu pricked up our ears at the same moment.  We heard cries from the shore where  tbe grottoes are.

TQR0N1D, CAM,  After all has been said about indigestion'and stomach trouble, there is  only one ���������way to get a real cure. The  stomach must be made strong enough  to *do its own work. Indigestion disappears when the stomach has been  made strong enough to digest ordinary plain food. This strength' can  only be given the stomach .through  the tonic treatment supplied by Dr.  Williams' Pink Pills, which enrich  the blood, strengthens the* nerves and  thus enables" the stomach 'to perform  the duties which nature intended it  should. In,every neighborhood you  can find people who have been cured  of indigestion or bthc stomach* tr6u-  bles after a fair use of Dr. Williams'  Pink Pills, and this is the best proof  that they are the one remedy to successfully do this. Mr. D. B. McLean.  Sterling, N.S., says:1���������"For a "couple  of years' I suffered very much from  indigestion with most of the accompanying painful symptoms.    As a re- 0anadian 'Rockiest  suit I became very much run down,'  , ^ t ^^,  and as the medicines I tried did not  give me any relief I gre'w melancholy  and unhappy, and felt as though my  constitution was breaking ��������� down.  Quite accidently my attention was  called1 to' Dr.' Williams' Pmk Pills,  and I decided to try theln, and I am  happy to say that ' they effected' a  complete cure, and made my stoin-  ach as strong as ever it had been.

One of the leading citizens from ''Across the river,"  called at this office and registered & big kick about what he  described as " The desperate state of the approaches to the  Ferry," especially the approach on the far side from Creston,  all  and which he declared to be in such bad shape, as to be  but impassable.  Probably the recent heavy rains have something to do  with the sUte of things complained of. The Government as  everyone is aware, have from Erst to last, spent a lot oi  money trying to make this ferry efficient for tke work it has  to ^o, and if this expenditure could be made effective, by a  judicious improvement of ihe approaches, the same should  be done, a  : We learn that efforts are being made by interested parties, to have the Crest Canadian Motor Road, diverted from  the original approved route, which as we know, crosses the  Flats at Creston, thence over the Kootenay and via Summit  Pass. The scheme ofthe would be diversionists. is to have  the road rua on this side of the River to Kuskunook, and  thence by a devious, mountaneous and impracticable route,  connecting with the city of Nelson.  The only shred of justification we have been able to  discover for this fantastic scheme, is tlie supposed political  p������U ������f the interested parties living outside the Ymir Riding  who are fathering this precious scheme.  Any attempt to divert the great highway, should and  will, be vigorously opposed by the people of Creston.  The fact that a bridge across the Kootenay is guaranteed  bythe construction of this trunk road, whereas if the road  be diverted the construction of such bridge is indefinitely  postponed, is a sufficient reason why every citizen in the  valley shonld fight against any attempt ������������<' diverting the  highway. The original road survey, is not only the best  most practicable and economical road, but is vital to this  ���������diatrict, and there is going to be something doing from this  district, if the road is arbitrarily changed.  Nothing'definite is yet known, re the candidates for  this division in the forthcoming general election, but we  have reason to believe that A. S. Goodeve M. P., wili again  carry the flag ot the Grand old Conservative Parly to victory  whilst he may be opposed by Dr, King or M. A. Macdonald ot Cranbrook in the Liberal interest, and possibly by a  Socialist in the person of Mr. Davidson.  The Ranchers around Creston, would like to know how  it comes about, that whilst they are compelled to cat down  the Canada Thistles, owners of adjoining semi-wild lands  eacape this duty, thus rendering fruitless any efforts to  control this pest.  The Balm trots along the K. V. Track are full of Aphis  and it Is high time that steps were taken to have the bushes  destroyed, at they are nothing but a breeding place for the  fruit pests. It is useless the Creston Fruit Grower spending money and time spraying hit orchard, if these pests are  harbored on the Railway right of way, whence they may  astte forth to plague the growers of the district  Nelson Land District���������Diatrict  of West Kootenay  Take notice that 1, Waiter  Demer, of Ymir, B.C., occupation Lumberman, Intends to  apply for permission to purchase the following described  lands :���������  Commencing at a post planted at the S.W. corner of    Tom  six (6)  miles in a S.W. direction from  the S.W. corner of Lot 9323  being the Northwest corner,  thence running South 80  chains, East 80 chains, iSorth  80 chains, and West SO chains  to point of commencement and  contains 640 acres more or  less.

DR. CHASE'S
KIDNEY-LSUEtt PiLLS
In the spring the human system is
loaded with poisons which have accumulated ss a result of artificial
winter life. There has been too
much breathing of poisoned indoor
air, too little outdoor, exercise, too
much eating of heavy indigestible
food, especially too much meat and
too  little fruit.
The liver and kidneys struggle to
overcome this condition, but the task
is too great for thein and they get
sluggish and torpid, fail in their
work and often become diseased themselves.-     .
They must have help such as is
given them by the use of Dr. Chase's
Kidney-Liver Pills. There is no great
mystery of how these pills purify the
blood arid take away the cause of
tired, spring feelings, backaches,
headaches, bodily pains, or derangements of the digestive system

"Probably the most epoch-making
work in biology since the time of,
Darwin. That is how scientific men
in various ...arts of the world regard,
the newest discovery in relation to
blood. With as much certainty as;-
you and 1 can say of a series of colors
���'that is. white, black, blue, red, V
yellow, and green'���it is now possible
to identify any number of specimens;;
as the blood o'. a man, a horse, a dog.
a whale, a sheep, a wolf, a fox, an
orang-outang, a baboon, a seal, a 3ea-
iion, etc.. merely by considering the
crystals.-; whiehy the;-: coloring x. matter
'-forms'. More���-and the fact is pregnant with meaning���-it i*J possible to
scy whether vthe blood is of a white
mau or a negrby - ���'������'��� ��� ������ ..-.��������.���-'. - ��� .- A.
How the discovery affects our knov/1-
edge of natural history may b? told
in two sen tehees. In the old method
of classifying animals according to
their tribes, the bear was always
placed io the same family as thi* dog.
the wolf, and the fox. By the new
method oi comparing the blood crystals of th^seA animals it ha* been
proved conclusively that the bear i?
closely related to the sea-lious and
the seals, and is not related to the
dog. the wolf, or the fox. 1 have al-
ready stated Athat.Vby reason-of--the*e-
crystals V it is possible * to distinguish
the blood ot a negro so clearly fruni
that oi the white man that the expert
could make no mistake one from tht*
other. The inference to be drawn from
this fact���and it is one which involves,
no illogical optimism���is that es-p^rt*
will soon be able to distinguish, th?
blood of the American from that of"th*
Chinaman, the blood- of the Italian

Rasp Got the Pig.
Surely one of the hardest tests of a
sheep dog is to be put in charge of a
pig. That, uccording to- one of tht*
contributors to "Shepherds of Britain." is what happened to Rasp, a
famous Midlothian collie. The owner
found on his return home one day
that the pig had escaped and sent the
dog to fetch it. "So off went Rasp
in quest of what proved one of th'*
most stubborn of the memboTs of the
bucolic family she ever etrcountored.
Having been absent about tweiity-live.

Genesis n< Life Insurance.
Life insurance originated in 1708 in
London. In that year there was formed the first life insurance company. It
was called the Amicable Society For
0 Perpetual insurance Office. It wna
a mutual benefit concern. Each member, without reference to age, paid a
rixed admission fee and a fixed an-
1. *.al charge per share on from one to
.,���...,q shares, and at the end of the
year a portion, of the fund accumulated was divided among the heirs of
those who had died in. accordance with
the number of shares each, dead per*
sqn had held. Out of this company,
���with its crude and Imperfect method*,
life insurance as it exists to-day haa
grown.

Andrew's grandmother had been
telling him Bible stories, his favorite
being that of Daniel in the lion's den.
At the age of four he was taken to a

knew no bounds.
Jumping up and down he gleefully
screamed: "Gee, that knocks the spots

"*-Tsnj kEFQRE you are suggestions rfor  small pieces of ribbon that every  woman, finds herself possessing at  the end^off a dressmaking season.  The silken strips left over from'other  fancy work are always too lovely to  throw away and frequently too short  for any large piece of work. Here.Nthen,  is the story tbat will clear the ribbon  box and at the same time add to the  number of dainty accessories that most  women like to make.  Por thread and needles there Is a useful little case ehown that any one can  make. The exact size and amount of  ribbon cannot be given here, for each,-  -woman's idea of a suitable case will  .vary; and, more Important, the size of  * -the odd pieces of ribbon, will very nat-  "urally determine the cutting out of the  cardboard foundations. All that this  article can attempt Is to show the construction or each hint. Of course, there  are general rules that can be given. Any  chirred pieces are sufficiently full If. 1%  times a straight measurement be allowed. By that is meant that if the  ribbon is to be shirred on a straight  edge four Inches long, a piece six Inches  long will be enough., This gives an easy  fullness, ir greater be wished, twice a  length will be ample. t  ' Cut out two oblong pieces of card-  hoard and round the lower ends. Cover  with plain silk by whipping two pieces,  ���������that you turn in "at the outer edges.  Baete the silk on the board before attempting to whip tightly Into place.  Now cut a piece of contrasting silk,  dresden in the picture, and let it be as  wide as once and  a  half the  width  of  the edges and attach on the inner surfaces of these. Sew the stiff forms at  the top and decorate with tiny bows of  narrow ribbon. How much in each bow?  you ask. Just as much as you wish or  can use.  -The melon-shaped bag is made of three  strips of ribbon. The lower ends are  pointed and the sides of the rather wide  ribbon are whipped together. At each  seam a little quilling of plain ribbon is  placed. Thie also runs around the top  edge, a gilt tassel is used to decorate  the lower end of this bag, and ribbon  Strings are used to carry the receptacle  for the handkerchiefs or sewing on the  wrist. This "can be "a bag fohr inches  long or fourteen,' just as the ends of  your ������reii)/i������i>b3 decree.  Here's a. use for a candy box. You  doubtless have seen unusual shapes in  bonbon, boxes and have never realized  how well they can serve for foundations.  The sides must be broken from the bottom and used for a pattern, from which  you will cut silk forms and whip into  this is to be a shirred outer pocket to      smooth  coverings.    Then join  together  THE HOME DECORATOR  me/o/r  I  and to the silk-covered bottom by strong  silk. Cut four pointed pieces, the bases  corresponding with the sides of the box;  cover and attach as shown in the photograph. At the pointed top of each flap  se^f. a ribbon. The four strands must  be tied' together to close the box. Place  a Httie gold i or silver lace at the junction of the lower part with the top flaps,  and finish with a line of ribbon and  bows at the corners.  'Outside' pockets are suggestions worth  "While, the bag ehown Is made of wide  -blue ribbon sewn to a silk-covered  square of cardboard. The top edge ie  turned in, to form a full hem and a  double drawing-string Is run through a  casing. On the lower part a straight  piece of figured ribbon is shirred and  then caught  up  at Intervals  by   little  rosettes of baby ribbon. Prom each one  a line of backstitchlng drops down to  the bottom, forming pockets all around  the outside. 'In these thread, thimble,  etc., can be carried.  A square receptacle is shown that suggests a use for part of an ordinary  pasteboard box. The bottom and two-  long sides are used. These you, must  ��������� cover with figured silk. - Then a Httle  departure Is made. Make a little bag  of plain silk or ribbon that will exactly  fit in at the short end of the box. Give  lt drawing-strings and sew It firmly in,  so as to close one end. Another bag  divided into two or three compartments  will close the other end. The top, you  will notice, is left open. The whole  idea is unique and easily followed in  large or small size. >  But when pincushions are mentioned,  then indeed are suggestions legion.. The  little doll's head with its surrounding  petals le a hint for small 'pieces' of ribbon. These straight ends are folded  Into points and merely tactoed together.  In each point there is sewn a little piece  of scented cotton and pins are stuck in  the ends. A double row of these useful  forms Is .attached to the base of the  head.  '     " ' '  Always in style is the Japanese doll,  with its little crossed kimono of ribbon  and its padded base for pins. This latter can be a pincushion covered with  gathered ribbon, or it can be soft cotton. Two bows of ribbon decorate  each side. '  The little basket is the last Idea for  eager needlewomen. Cut "pieces of  cardboard with rounded' tops and  cover with silk. Then attach to a  square base by whipping the edges  together.   Force Into the basket a silk  pincushion. The handle is of wire  covered with cotton, muslin and finally  wrapped with plain rltjfcqn. It Is  attached tc opposite sides, and bows of  narrow ribbon are used to finish the  / useful idea. ^ *  Surely there are profitable hints for  every reader.' Prom odds and ends of  silk or ribbon many'attractive bags  and boxes can- be made. These but  show the way to a profitable expression -of neetjiec-i-aftr ' -.   .
