Ross Visits at\nCranbrook\nAble and Efficient Minister of Lands Reflects Credit\nOn Whole Province\nThe Hon. William Roderlek Rosa,\nMinister ot Lands, spent a few days\nIn Cranbrook laat week looking alter\nthe interests ol the Department ot\nwhich ho Is the very ublo hoad. Mr.\nRoss, wo know na a big man physically, big mentally and big hearted,\nhut the speech ho delivered ln Parliament on tho land policy ol the\nGovernment marks him as a roan pob-\n(ased ol the highest ability to grapple with groat questions which are so\nvitally interesting to all British Columbia. A constituency which haa the\nhonor and possesses the intelligence\nto elect a gentleman llko W. R. Ross\ndoes more than credit to Itself, It\ncontributes fully as much to the welfare of tho whole Province. Men forget that when electing a representative to parliament they are not serving their own district nnd ita special\ninterests only, but tbe interests of\nthc wholo Province. A constituency\nwhose voters' list Is made up ol deluded fanatics so gullible ns to be\nmade tools of by designing usurpul-\noub demagogues, pay little attention\nto Its own or the country's interests.\nA few districts in British Columbia\nnre of this sordid sort, hut they are\nnot of the agricultural class or ol\nnify class of selfrespectlng or intelligent peoplo. Tho dry rot of socialism has infected too many who abuse\ntho privilege of having their names\nput on the voters' list. Mr. Rosa in\nthe introduction to his splendid\nspeech, made reference to the \"honorable gentleman,\" who occupied the\nposition ol leader ol the opplsltion,\n\"who either by the arrogance of his\nposition, or by the fortuitous accident which places him there, placed\nln auch a position, it is the first ol\nhlB duties to pay serious attention to\nthe serious business ol the Government and not to treat matters ln the\nsupercilious way that ho treated the\namendments to the Forest Act.\"\nNover have the great resources ot the\nprovince been treated, aa they are by\ntho present Government. Wo must\nnot overlook tho fact that on account ot tho great variety ot the conditions ol climate and elevation to\nassiga any particular locality lor the\npurposes of growing cereals, fruit or\nanv other ot tho products ot the coll.\nThe lnlluenco of both climate and elevation regulate conditions. Thero is\nno reason why British Columbia\nshould import butter, beef or egga. It\nls to be hoped tbat under tbe guidance ol tho Land Department this\nstate of thinga may bo overcome.\nThere ls another branch of the service for which we cannot sufficiently\ncommend tbe present government.\nThe Forestry Act has not come any\ntoo soon. The careless destruction\nol the toresta of North America\namounts to untold millions. British\nColumbia, up to the present had been\nvisited by tho most destructive torest tires, Tho valuo ot tbo trees thus\ndestroyed, was hitherto regarded as\not no moment. Now the government\nhad faithlul and competent men selected and appointed to seo that no\nllros are allowed to spread through\ncarelessness or design an have pro\nvailed in tbe past, Tho province has\nIn its timber an asset not represented in its untold valae. Most of the\ngroat timber limits of tho east are\nnow practically denuded of its trees.\nThe pulp Industry is a growing one\nand will be an Important industry ln\nthis province. The future prosperity\not the country Is In tho hands ol our\npresent-day legislators. Posterity will\nreap the benolits ot the wise preservation ot tho forests that are today,\nbut Insignificant. Tho hills that appear useless tor hitman habitation\nhave on their surface and possibly in\ntheir depths, the source nt untold\nwealth. The Free Pre-emption Policy ls a long step ahead and deserves\npraise for its liberal amendments.\nMr. Ross's speech Is published in a\nneat pamphlet and should be read by\neveryone taking a lively interest in\ntbe prosperity of the country.\nNab Three for Fraud\nWith pockots, suitcases and trunks\nfilled with blank deeda, promises to\npurchase shares ol atock In tbe Anglo-Canadian Savinga and Trust Co.\nol Pernio, B.C., rubber stamps bearing tbe name of the company, pads\nand other paraphenalla alleged to\nhave been uaed in a swindling game\nat Fernie, three men wore arreated\nlaat night hy local police detectives\non telegraphic Information from Cblef\nConotable A.

The Interests\nef the Dutch-speaking people were being paid away as bribes in order to\nobtain that conciliation.\nAnxiety existed all over South\nAfrica because the people felt that the\ninterests both of the Dutch and English-speaking races were at slake. If\nthero was anything inimical to the\nInterests of the country, then It was\nthe number of foreign interests vested tn Johannesburg and other places.\nHe had been requested by Influential persons to lead a new party, owing to the dissatisfaction which was\nfelt with General Botha and General\nSmuts, but he wished, at all costs, to\navoid a division.\nA resolution was passed expressing\nregret at tho exclusion of General\nHertzog from the ministry and admiration for the attitude he had taken.\nArtie had tried hy various means\nto interest his father in conversation.\nCan't you see I'm trying to read?\nsaid the exasperated parent.

Hervlce, men of known capacity and lu\ntegrity.     first of all,  the contract\nThla contract wan entered Into on\nOctober 26 of Inst yonr. It, binds\nthe contractor to Miipply the locka ae\nrequired nt tlm price net In the contract, onn dollar each for lock and\nkey, It doe*, not bind the Department to take any stipulated number\nof locke.\nThle contract, drawn on the usual\nform of the Poat Office Dept, 1* (or\nthe Liberal press, that the contract!\nimd been given to his Iriends.

That Is the\nonly  time I met the  gentleman,   1\nhave never spoken to him before or\nsince.    That ls the friend to whom\nthese newspapers allude.\"\nNO NUMBER FIXED.\nThc Idea that the Department was\ncontracting lor 350,000 of these new\nlocks arose in this way, as explained\nby a memorandum signed by Hector\nB. Verret, Assistant Deputy Postmaster-General:\u2014\n\"At page 0,441 of the Hansard of\nMarch 19th, 1913, Mr. Lemieux asked how many new locks had been\nbought for mall bags. Mr. Pelletler\nanswered:   350,000,\nWhen this question was asked by\nMr. Lemieux, it was almost six\no'clock, whilst we were rushing tbe\nSupplementary Estimates through.\nMr. Pelletier asked me: \"How many\nlocks do you think we will require?\"\nI answered: \"Ilotween 300,000 and\n350,000 during the next four years,\nwhich is the term of tbe contract.\"\n1 am afraid tbat I have lead the\nPostmaster-General astray in giving\nsuch large figures, and I am ready\nto take the blame for it.\nOPEN  WITH   KNIFE.\nKnowing for the pnst three years\ntbat the lock was defective, and that\nanyone could open it with a knife (ae\nI had done myself), I told the Minister that lt was not safe, and that\na new one should he submitted. 1\ndiscussed the matter with the Bepu\nty Ministers and the Controller of\nPostal Stores, who were of the same\nopinion.\nIn the meantime, a lock had been\nPatented under number 142,823. Wr\nfound that this lock would be perfectly snfe for the malls, and nfter\nmany experiments before the Postmaster-General, he came to the con\nelusion that the lock should be ac\nccpted, proveded the price was the\nsamo as that paid for the old\nout an unpopular policy even when\ntbey were In power, and they are\nless likely to be able now to carry\nout a similarly unpopular policy\nwhen they are in opposition.\nfarmers Patriotic\nHere ls an example of what western\nfarmers really think about tbe Liberal attitude on the proposed Dreadnought gift to the Empire. In view\nof the extraordinary misrepresentation of western sentiment on this\nquestion by Opposition members, the\nexample Ib a striking one. It la a\nresolution passed on March 26 and\ntelegraphed from Wllkie, Bas.., to\nPremier Borden by R. James Sprers,\nSecretary of the Tramping Lake Conservative Association.\n\"At a mass meeting of the Tramping Lake Conservative Association\nheld at Unity, Sask., today composed chiefly ol farmers, representing\nover tlfty townships, a resolution\nwas passed condemning George Mc-\nOraney, M.P., nnd A.

At the close\nof one of the most largely attended\nand mo.it enthusiastic meeting! ever\nheld in Saskgtchewan, the following\nresolution erdorslng Mr. Borden's\nstand on the Naval question was\npassed unanimously, 'Whereas the Bt.\nHon.

A revenue increased by thirty-live millions has lelt a treasury running over\nagainst the Government's many undertakings for expenditure. If Investors abroad needed assurance of Canada's prosperity, these figures would\nseem to supply it.\"\nParting of the Ways\nWhen former President Taft, was\nnegotiating the reciprocity agreement\nwith tbe former administration, be\nfrankly declared that Canada was\n\"at the parting ot the ways.\" 8he\nhad either to cast her lot definitely with Great Britain, or become fiscally and politically entangled with\ntbe United States. Canada's answer\nIs historic. She chose to remain a\nPortion of the British Empire, and\nLaurier and his company ot Separatists had to pack their carpet bags\nand get out of office atter fifteen\nyears of power,\n\"Canada today faces a similar situation.\" She ls at the parting of the\nwaya, Laurier Is pulling hard for\nSeparation and Independence.

The iBsue belore the\nCanadian peoplo is that of remain\ning a proud part of the Empire or\nSeparation, There is no compromise.\nTbe Liberal leaders, Laurier, Pugsley, Graham and Lemieux have said\nwe will not permit tho Government\nto increase the effective naval forces\nof tho Empire. Thoy claim tbat the\nBritish Admiralty does not know\nwhat lt wants, in asking thnt Canada's aid bo given ln the form of a\nnumber of the most powerful ships\nwhich science can build and money\nwill provide.

It may\nbe well to remind nil Interested residents ot the Province that the forestry law prescribes a \"close season\" extending trom May 1 to Octr\nober 1, during which no Blush, brush,\netc., may be burned without a permit\nfrom the Provincial Forest Boasd.\nThis prohibition Is contained in sections 107 and 108 of the act, which\nrend as follows:\n\"During the close season it shall\nbe unlawful for any person to set\nout, or cause to be set out, started\nor kindled, any fire in or near any\nforeatB or woodlands except for tbe\npurpoBo of clearing land.c ooklng, obtaining necessary warmth, or lor\nsome necessary industrial purpose\npermitted by the Minister, and unless\ntho obligations and precautions imposed in ths following sectlans shall\nbe observed,\n\"During the cloao season no person, firm or corporation shall set\nout, fires In or near slashings ot\nforest debris, standing or fallen timber, or brush, grass or other inflammable material, or for any industrial\npurpose without first obtaining a\npermit therefor; provided that no\nperson shall be convicted, who shall\nhave set ln good faith and with reasonable care a back-tire tor the purpose of stopping th* progress ol a\nfire then actually burning.\"\nIt ts greatly to their own interest\nand their own convenience that settlers ond all others who have slash\non tbelr boldingB to be got rid ot,\nshould attend to its destruction as\nsoon as possible, while ull vegetation\nls as yet green and tbo ground has\nnot dried under the summer sun, in\norder thnt the element of danger\nthrough the fires spreading may be\nreduced to a minimum\u2014an advantage\nto the Province generally, and to the\nsettler, but to tho settler most of all.\nConditions for burning are now described as Ideal, and llttlo difficulty\nIs to be anticipated in controlling\nfires. In many districts much brush\nhas already been successfully disposed ot and much more will have been\nbefore the end of the montb and the\nadvent of the so-called \"close-season.\" If much slash Is to be disposed ot, as by lumbermen or others\nclearing large areas, it would be well\nfor these interested parties to consult\nwith tho district forestry officer, wbo\nwill be glad to lend his expert advice\nand assistance in determining the safest and best and at the same time,\nmost economical method to be adopted ln the work of clearing. In many\nquarters lt has been prophesied that\nthe coming season is likely to-be one\nof the hardest yet encountered on account ol the very heavy growth ol\ngrass resulting from last fall's plentl-\nlul rainfall.

If the timber covered\nthe mountain as it did 1 e oro the\nfires there would be no fnowelldes on\nthat mountain nnd no menaces to\nmining house.-} or plants. As it is,\nit would be hazardous cr im_0Bi.ii.li-\nin case ore bodies, (believe! to exist;\nwere discovered, to mine the ore oi\nto erect buildings.\n\"This little incident, which I diubt\nnot ia common enough, and which the\nforesters must often have ol,s rved in\nthis country,  showed me clearly  the\nprotection from snowslideB that standing timber   affords,     ospocial'y   at\ntheir   Inception   and    nenr   the   a tin\nniit...    No prudent miner wo *ld cut\nto any extent the timber back of his\nmining plant:*, on thc poor excuse o!\n; being \"handy,\"   thereby    destroying\n; his test, friend and protector, from\nj the attack of bis   wont enemy, the\nj snowsllde.     At    the   samo   time   he\nI would, no doubt, clear oil a certain\n| space round bis mining plant, as sec\n( urity against forest fires..\n\"lt seems to n.o that n great fir.at\n! lire such as those which have s.wei.t\nj these mountains, is one uf thc greatest conceivable misfortunes to n min\ni ing  camp.     It endangers  the  plant,\nit destroys necessary timber for tu-\nI ture use, It extinguishes the tlmbi\nprotection against snowslides,  it e.\nlen encourages slides, originates them\nor makes them possible, and sarlous-\nly affects the wnt.r supply.    Not only docs It Knock out snd  demolish\n\u25a0 our flumes, ua in our nwn c\\se as tlu\nI Wilcox, but it carries away uselesrl)\na vast amount of snow that should\ni lie stored up for gradual lies in the\ni flpring season.    Both lode minors ana\nplacer miners realize this.    On the\n! other   hand,    timber   le't   standing\ngathers th-> snow and lets the water\nout gradually and  moderately,  gently,   about thc timo   it is  most  re\n: quired,   in   the  spring   and   summer,\n; not in  useless   torrents   swept away\n1 rapidly in swollen, rivers, but quietly\n1 f.nd beneficially.    I have read of sev.\nj eral placer mines in northern British\ni Columbia being placed hors de com\n[ bat by the sudden departure of the\n! sno-Afl in   the  spriuT  time,   through\n' slides and water borne away In un-\n' available torrents.\nTo me the sight of the effects of a\ngreat forest fire such as that which\nawejt through these mountains is a\n; most pitiable one.    The only redeem\ning feature of a forest tiro from   a\n; mining point of view is that it clears\naway the brush and timber and thus\n; gives   greater   opportunity    for   the\nprospector to search  for and  follow\nup expossd veins of mineral.    Otherwise the forest fire apparently  miss\nes any law of compensation,    It ie\na deud loss in every Way, do n^  no\n. good to anyone and very great harm.\nI Thc tight, too, of a trand old tree\ni that,  after  perhaps    a   century has\n. reached    its    maturity,   standing   a\nblackened ruin of stump pome six ot\n; eight feet in diameter, ami simply he\n\u25a0 cause John Smith forgot to put out\n! bis camp fire fefore leaving for parts\n! unknown, is a scny sight indeed. I\nj noticed last spring that the mountain opposite us was gradually be\ncoming clothed with a low brush oi\n, young trees.    Bnt bow mi ny years\n, will  it take to restore that mountain-side to its former glery?    And\nbow   many  yeara  will  it  require  to\nproduce a tree comparable in girth\nand height to those grand old cedars\n; whose  huge stumps,  blackened   nnd\nj charred, \"\"are    crowded    al. ng    the\nroad?\"\nSEALED TENDERS addressed to\nthe undersigned, and endorsed \"Tender for Wharf at Kaslo, B.C.,\" will\nbe received at this otlice until 4.00\nP.M.. on Monday, May ii. 1913, f..r\nthe construction _! a Pile Pent and\nTimber Decking Wharf at Kaslo.

Certainly\nthe \"leading ladies\" of a century and less ago wero\n-not believers In race suicide and gave many children\nto the stage, ln some cases, lilie the Kembles, all, or\nmost of them, became famous.\nEven In the American theatrical families of several\ngeneration., back, Uie lulenls of fathers and mothers\nnre passing from ono generation down to another.

The latest occurred only\ns. few months ago, when Junius ttrutus 13oolh, 3d, mur-\ntiered hia wile and committed BUicide In a London\nhotel.\nCreaton Clarke, a popular actor, who died In 1910,\nWas also il grandchild of the elder Booth, being a son\n\u00ab-f Asia Sidney Booth and the popular actor. John\nSleeper Clarke. Another brother of Creston Clarke,\nWilfred Clarke, is on tlio vaudeville stage.\nTho Jeffei-sons, however, hark back many years before ilie Booths, and tliey cnn, for that matter, claim\nthe distinction of being tlio oldest American theatrical\nfamily, for live generations have been known to thc\nnative stage.

BeaideR being mi actor, he was a painter, as\nwas bis hiiK-brolhcr Ueorge; and this sumo talent\nwas enjoyed by tho Into Joseph Jefferson, who spent\nmany happv hours with tno brush.\n\/ Joseph lived at the homo of n Mrs. Fori line whllo\nIn Philadelphia, and thero he fell in love with one\nof her two charming daughtors, Euphemla.

Threo daughters of tho Warrens followed\nthe stage, and tho name of hi.-, son, William Warren,\nIs i'i ill  familiar to many thoa to moors.\nTho stage also attracted the Jefferson family, for\net the eight adult children, six of them became slngo\nfavorites. An Interesting cast of \"The Bchool for\n\u2022Vandal,\" given In 1831, waa mado up almost .mllrcly\n\u2022f members of tho Jefferson family, as follows:\nhis casta were often composed almost entirely of his\nchildren and grandchildren, with tho addition of his\nsister, Mrs. Jackson. Joseph Jefferson the flrst died\nln 1832.\nTho Jeffersons continued acting together after the\ndeath of the father; and, when the second to bear that\nname died ln Mobile, Ala., in 1842, the theater had to\nbe closed on account of the number of players absent.\nThis Joseph Jefferson was enly 38 years old, and lie\ngave promlso of a worthy career at the time of his\ndeath. Ho was the father of Joo Jefferson, or\n\"Hip,'* as he was familiarly known, Joseph, 2d, married Mrs. Cornelia Frances Burke.
