Kor\nyears l.etbbridge rolled on the stock\nIndustry and a little coal mining to\nkeep it going. Cranhrook has always relied on a little mineral mining and the lumber industry to make\nthings hum. Lethbrldge was held\nhack by a kind of creature, miscalled\nii man, who ridiculed the Idea that\nthe virgin soil in this district could\nhe made to blossom like a rose,\nCranbrook, the visitor suspects, is\nurseri with a few of thc same cotnr.\nTime\u00E2\u0080\u0094a few yeuis\u00E2\u0080\u0094served to eon-\nfound that kind of a knocker around\nLethbrldge und today he is scarcer\neven than a snowball' in .July. History will repeat itself arouiHl Cranbrook and in a tew vents Cranhrook\nwill uot know itself.\nThe city at present strikes the visitor as being somewhat old nnd dirtv\nlooking. Probably it has u quick\nnnd etlieient lire department and, although a wooden city in a timlrt-red\ncountry, has never had a \"wipe out\"\nhy lire. On Rio other band the main\nstreets are nut marie hideous with\nChinese shacks and almost every\nbuilding is two or three stories high.\nThe stores, too, nre all natily and\nnodernly dnssed\u00E2\u0080\u0094;ui evidence ot the\nnterprise of Cranio oo!.'.s merchants\niiul\u00E2\u0080\u0094on the side\u00E2\u0080\u0094an indication that\nthere are one or more up-to-date progressive newspapers in the city, for\ngood stoics an.) good newspapers go\nhand in hand in anv place. All that\nis nerded Is paint\u00E2\u0080\u0094an organized campaign with the paint brush in the\nbusiness section of the city.\nIn thc residential parts'ot the city\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094in contrast to the business\u00E2\u0080\u0094upon\nlinker Hill and neighborhood, particularly, are a number of beautiful\nresidences that cause a l.ethbridgeite\nturn green with envy. In fact\nthere are onlv two things in which\ncrftnbrook has I.-'tiduid-.re skinned,\nand in both these she can give Leth-\nhtidgv cards and spades\u00E2\u0080\u0094hotels and\nie residences.\nCrnnbrook is whal is called a wide-\nopen town\u00E2\u0080\u0094perhaps that is whv hei\nlintel accommodation, particularly in\nthe higher priced Imstclries, is so\nvastly superior tn the average in the\nprairie provinces. The bars where\nliquor is sold remain open all night\nand all tiny Sunday; and neater,\ncleaner or more orderly or respectable places\u00E2\u0080\u0094In contrast to the modern prairie saloon\u00E2\u0080\u0094than the bar-\nrooms of Cranhrook cannot be im-\naglned, Abuse nf liquor, at least on\nthe Saturdav and Sundav when the\nwriter was there, made itselt con-\npieil-rils by its absence. IHtlO, that\nivory dav sight in Alberta and Saskatchewan, the wet sloppv barrooms,\n[nt kiit witli a struggling mass ot\nmore nr less drunken humanity, making ha\ while the sun shines hv\npouring down enouch liquor while the\nbars are open to last them the ten\noi twelve hour* when they are closed.\n\l! ol which would ' seem to suggest\nthat drunkenness Increases just in\nproportion to the restrictions that\narc placed on tho liquor trade ond upon the liberty of the Individual; that\nthe real retnedv for all evils is more\nfreedom\u00E2\u0080\u0094not less of it.

Simpson, tho\n'Old Man\" of the Cranhrook Herald\nind at one time proprietor of n 'n-\nper in l.ethbridgc. When Mr. Simp*\n'snn lirst hit Cranbrook, Cranbrook\nconsisted of two fonts, He erected\nI tho third and has lived in that citv\novor since. His publication, tho\n'Cranhrook Herald, is probably the\nbrightest weekly paper put out in\nWestern Canada nml through it be\nhns done more than anyone else In\nCranbronk to build llie'pluce up and\nMm,makc tt known to the world.

Walls\nsays, grows well bill the land is\ntin, valuable to he given over to\nwheat farming. Adjoining the pump\nhouse, Mr. Watts has a large green\nhouse, heated by a steam pipe from\nthe mill boilers and although they are\na quarter ot a mile and more away,\nthe cold snap early in January, the\ncoldest weather by far experienced\nthere for years was successfully resisted, iii this green house lhe partv gathered und ate ripe tomatoes\nand raspberries. ' Brushing tlio snow\nolf a range of ground lights, heated\nhy a single half-inch steam pipe, they\nwere found to be lilh-d with ripe lettuce aud other stuti In another\nbuilding were tier after tier ol mushroom bills just sown with mushroom\npawn, and which would be producing\nfor the market within a week or\ntwo.\nMuch amusement the partv got out\nof a tame white-tailed deer which\nruled over a small paddock adjoining\nthe house.

The scales\ncommittee, composed of President F.\nIL Sherman, and other members ol\nthe district officials, are now in session with the Operators association\nat Macleod, and these preliminary\nmeetings of the local unions have\nbecn held with a view ot avoiding\nsuch a thing as a referendum after an\nagreement has been reached by the\nMacleod convention. When seen hy a\npress representative on the eve ol his\ndeparture for Macleod, General Manager Hurd, of the C.N.P. company,\nstated that he knew nothing of anyi\ndifferences of such importance as to\nhe at all likely to hinder a speedy\nsettlement and the adoption ot an\nagreement upon lines similar to the\none now In force. That such an\noutcome will be welcome to the\nwhole country, as well as to the parties directly interested, goes without\nsaying, and will be an encouraging\nindication for the near future ot a\nlarge district. Louis Stockett,\ngeneral manager of the Hosmer\nmines, Ltd., and president ol the\nMine Operators association, is at\nMacleod in attendance upon the convention of workers and operators.\n' As a result of the long winter and\nthe deep snow up the Elk river, a\nhand of five or six elk have wandered\ndown the valley lo within two miles\nof llosmer.

Tha\npofconout dya In some underclothing I was\nWearing got into a scratch I had sustained\nand blood-poisoning set up. Inflammation\nWat followe I by great pain -no swelling, and\nthen ulcers broke out on my legs. Kor some\ntime I could not walk a lew steps no, even\nCit my leet to the ground. On my left\na below the knee I had seventeen ulcere\nwhich caused holes, into which I could put\nmy thumb. On the right leg I had fourteen\nulcers. Medical treatment failed la relieve,\nhomely remedies were applied in vein. Week\nfollowed week end I gradually got worse,\nuntil I was worn out with pain and lack of\nsleep. On the advice of a friend I obtained\nson' Zam-luk and left off everything else\nwhile I tried ll.

A\nrelief fund is to be started for the\nrelief of the sufferers.\nA singular story was told at Del-\nlast police court recently, when Dr.\nGraham, city coroner, summoned\nMrs. Lilburn for using threatening\nand abusive language. According to\nthe evidence for the prosecution, defendant's husband committed suicide\nsome time ago by hanging himself on\na tree in the grounds of the local\nindustrial school. Mrs. Milium refused to allow tin- body to be taken\nto the house, and It had to be re\nmoved to the morgue.... At the inquest the jury added a rider to their\nverdict to the effect that the woman\nwas to a certain extent responsible\nfor iter husband's death. Since that\n.Mrs. Mlhurii had continually abused\nthe coroner when she met him in the\nsiteet. The police had previously\nsummoned her for abusive language\nami disorderly conduct, and she was\nsent to prison for a month. Two\ndays after ber release she again insulted Dr, Graham in the street, and\na few days later, when thc coroner\nwns attending a funeral, she used\nabusive and threatening language in\nsuch a loud voice that alt the mourners were disturbed. Eventually a\nspecial constable had tn be placed\noutside the woman's house when the\ncoroner was passing, as he often did,\nto protect him. Defendant agreed\nnot to interfere with Dr. Graham\nagain, and was discharged.\nA curious story in regard to a\nfortune was narrated in the Chancery division, Dublin, Ireland, to-\ncently. Patrick Hoylan, living at\nDray, lhe fashionable seaside resort\nnear Dublin, died intestate in 1903,\nliis assets being \u00C2\u00A335.917.

Some examples of\nprinters errors are ccrtainW grotesque, One of William Black's heroines died not of \"opium,\" but of\n\"opinion.\" One edition ot Dickens\n\"Cricket on the Hearth,\" came out\nas \"Cricket on the Heath.\"\nAl a W.C.T.U. conference held some\ntime ago, the president of that organization proposed the toast, \"Woman, with her, man is a beast.\nShe was quoted us saving \"Woman\nwithout her man, is a beast.\"\nThe late linker Pasha, who was certainly a \"battle-scarred veteran,\"\nappeared in an newspaper article as\na \"battle scared veteran,\" the libel\nbeing hideously deepened when another paper hailed him as a \"bottle\ni scarred veteran.\" Owing to a prin-\niter's error, the announcement, \"A\nsailor going to sea, his wife desires\nI the prayers of the congregation\"\nwas made to read \"A sailor going to\nI see his wife desires the prayers ot\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 the congregation.\" Again \"Your\n(presents are requested.\" The sad-\nbv the Jocular printer into \"Your\npresents are reqdested.\" The saddest error of all was, perhaps, made\nby the comrades of a deceased compositor In a trade organ, when they\ndeclared that thev h*-d \"docked his\nbeer,\" when what really was meant\nwas \"decked his Wer.\"\nas fur instance, anv -arden soil th;4\nhas had plentiful applications ot\nstable manure tor a course of years,\nM'-ht colored soils are, as a rule,\ndeficient in it.\nResides enabling the soil to retain\nmoisture humus also prevents having\nand produces nitrification or the\naction of bacteria in the soil, thus\ntransforming the nitrogen of decaying organic matter into nitrates\nfor the use of the growing crop.\nThese bacteria require air, moisture\nand beat, and humus contributes all\nof these, by making the soil looser\nand mellower so the nir can penetrate it more readily, by conserving\nthe moisture it is 'made more sure\nand uniform, and hy making the soil\nn darker color, it absorbs more heat\nfrom thc sun and by its looser condition radiation at night is somewhat\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0becked. In view of all this any\nmeans of storing the soil with vegetable matter will richly repay the\ncost and should receive the greatest\nattention in the preparation of or-\nhard land-\nThree planting is not to lie compared with putting in a crop of\ngrain, which is off again in a few\nmonths and gives a chance to correct neglect. The trees we hope,\nhowever, are to stand twenty, thirty or more years and if they get a\npoor send-off thc first season, your\npocket book will feel the effect for\nyears. The ground should he tall\nplowed, as frost action is very beneficial to heavy land especially, and\nlight soil spring plowed is too open\nand dries out too quickly. In ease\nof a hard-pan near the surface a\ngood plan is to set off a charge of\ndynamite where each tree is to stand\nwhich will help to secure sufficient\ndrainage and root run for the\ntrees.\nTo plant trees ou newly broken\nsorter Irom sun-scald and also mak-\nexperienced men as a very doubtful\nway of advancing the orchard, even\nwith thc very best of tillage and\nenre. The best of opinions agree\nthat in a course ot years, the orchard\nwould have been as far ahead to have\ndelayed the planting one or two years\nand crop and subdue the soil first.\nThe Idaho people strongly recommend the planting ot yearling trees as\ngiving the planter the chance to head\nhis trees at such height as suits\nhimself, whereas the larger trees as\ngenerally sold are headed in the nursery and are Invariably too high,\nleaving too much exposed trunk to\nsuiter from sun-scald nub also making the trees less resistant to the\nwind and liketv to be bent nr root-\nloosetied. Then* is considerable\nspace in this bulletin devoted to\nconveniences for laying out the\nground and planting, also on pruning and alter attention.\nOn choice of varieties that are intended for Northern Idaho is in line\nwith my own suggestions as given\nyour readers some time since and\niieed not be enlarged upon here.\nOn the whole the bulletin is very\npractical and adaptable to this district and it would well repay those\ninterested to write the Director\nState Experimental Station, Moscow,\nIdaho, for a copy of Bulletin No. K-t,\nand keep it on hand for reference.\nA.
