The two\nteams huve been striving for supremacy all during (he hockey season and\nns was expected, this Inst game wus\na very strenuous one. The Blue-\nbti'da hnd won ull garnets ho fur and\nwere out to hold their place The j\nCanucks were equally determined to i\nlake the last game of the series.\nThe play started fast and furious\nand it was not long before it was seen\nthat the hitherto victorious Bluebirds\nwere going to have no easy time in\nsecuring a victory. During the first\nperiod, the Canucks secured their\nfirst gonl, Miss B. Woodman being\nthe lucky goal getter. During the\nsecond period the play was very even\nand resulted in no score. In the\nthird period, Miss Burton secured the\npuck at the Bluebird end and after\nskating almost the full length of the\nrink .shot from the side and netted\nthe tying tally. This necessitated the\nplaying of overtime during the first\nfive minutes of which Miss Godderis,\nafter a nice combination play with\nMiss Burton, secured the winning\nshot with a nicely raised puck. The\nsecond period was scoreless, the\nCanucks winning the match by 2 to 1\nand the series of games of 6 to 1.\nAs might be expected, due to the\nstrenuousnesB of the game there were\ntwo of the players given timeoff, In\nthe first period, Miss Greaves and fn\nthe second final period Miss I.

Hall, was an undoubted success. No otie could I'i'il to bo impressed with tho night Of Ihe hull\npocked with men accompanied by\ntheir una, or some boys they were\nfathering for the occasion, and nil\ntaking an unmistakable Interest in\nthe proceedings. The gathering would\nseem to give the lie to a disquieting\nfeeling some have given expression to from time to time, that parents in general\u00E2\u0080\u0094including tho fathers\u00E2\u0080\u0094were too much absorbed in\nmuttrcrs considered to he ol* more moment, to concern themselves to such\nnn extent with tho welfare of the\nnext generation.\nThere must hnve been between\nfour hundred and fifty and five hundred lads and dads in attendance at)\ntold, nnd the gathering was characterized by Mr. Taylor Statten, of Toronto, whose presence in the city was\nreally the inspiration for tho unique\naffair, us the largest of its kind he\nhad attended anywhere in the province outside of the coast points.\nThat at least means something to\nCranbrook. It was the opening number In the week-end program of meetings and conferences, at which it was\nplanned to take up seriously the idea\nof establishing boys' work on a bigger basis in this city, particularly\nalong the lines of the Trail Rangers\nand Tuxis Square work, which give\nexpression to the comprehensive program as drawn up under the scheme\nknown as the Canadian Standard of\nEfficiency Training for boys.\nLadies Give Valued Assistance\nIn the capable hands of a committee of ladies from the churches\nwas placed the task of providing a\nbanquet for the big crowd on Friday\nevening, Mrs. W. B. McForlane act\ning ns the head of the committee, and\nhaving the assistance and co-operation of many willing helpers. How\nwell they carried out their essential\npart of the proceedings was clearly\nattested to by the zest with which\nthe sumptuous repast was attacked\nwhen the \"fall to\" signal was given,\nanil there were numerous appreciative remarks made both on the satisfying nature of the repast, and the\nwilling service the ladies pave with\nit, which found more concrete expression later in the evening.\nBefore the banquet started, nnd\nimmediately after it, there was an\ninformal singsong engaged in, with\nJ. M. Clark as song master, at. which\nnome dnd-nnd-lnd Bongs, adapted to\nwell known tunes, were given with\ngood spirit. There were also two\nother musical numbers given during\nthe evening, a violin and piano duet\nby Garnet and Edward Pntnioiv,\nwhich was very well received, so that\nthe young performers were recalled\nfor an encore. An appropriate solo\nwas also given by Mr. Harry Collier.\nKev. M. S. Blackburn acted as\nchairman for the big gathering, and\nit was remarked that a wide portion\nOf the Bast Kootenay district waa\nrepresented in the crowd, boys and\ngrown-ups being present from most\nof the points all the way between\nFernie in the one direction, and Creston the other way. Many of the\nboys who came from a distance wore\nstaying over for the night, and for\nas many as possible homes were\nfound for them to slay in, io that\ntheir visit in the city might he made\nas pleasant as possible.\nBoyi' Parliament Report\nThe first speakers of the evening\nwere Murray Garden ami Byrop\nllnynes, two Tuxis boys from this\ncity Who were iu attendance at the\nBoys' Parliament held last December\nat Victoria. Speaking entirely without notes, and in a very convincing\nmanner, Murray Garden explained\nthe nature of this unique gathering,\nund how it was constituted. Its business, he explained, was to consider\nthe program of the work for the coming year, and the methods by which\nthe funds for it could be raised; it\nwns shown thnt there wns no childishness in the method of deliberating\nthe questions at stake, but thnt the\ndelegates got right down to thu fundamentals at stuke.

He\nwas listened to with apparently keen\nInterest, and undoubtedly his message will be long remembered and\nwill redound to the well-being of the\ncitizens of \"Cranbrook, both young\nand old. The speaker expressed his\nappreciation of the manner in which\nthe citizens had backed up their efforts in the work, and felt that\nthrough the meetings the whole boyhood of Cranbrook would receive\nsome inspiration to go out and live\nstrong and well-balanced lives.\nThe program which they were trying to put into effect was so constructed that the boy who came into\ncontact with it would become constrained to lead a better life; their\nmain object being to get boys in\ntouch with the life of Jesus,\nTheir program was one In which\nthe boy could find himself. This\nprogram hud been endorsed by the\nchurches, since the boys in becoming\ndisciples of Jesus, became members\nof the church. Filled with the right\nspirit, in their school work, on the\nfield of sport, and in the home, they\nwould exhibit their right leadership,\nThe text, as it were, or motto of\nthe boys, he said, was \"Jesus increased in wisdom and stature and ir\nfavor with tlod npd man,\" and in s\nmost interesting manner, he went on\nto show the importance of each of\nthe four branches of development\nsignified by this text. The manner\nin which the speaker connected the\nlife of testis ns n boy with that of\nthe boy of today, was indeed interesting and in a very natural way.\nThe speaker concluded with a strong\nappeal for the support of the program through which they hoped to\nbring nhout a greater desire for the\nbetter things in the men of to-morrow.\nAt the conclusion of the address,\nth* pastor, Rev. B. C. Freeman, who,\nusing his own words, is somewhat reticent about expressing publicly his\nopinion of speakers, said he felt forced to thank the speaker for the message that he hud brought, particularly pleasing to him was the background of the christian life, against\nwhich his scheme was developed.\nAward Contracts For Heavy\nRoad Making\nEquipment\nThe regular meeting of the city\ncouncil wns held in the council chamber on Thursday evening last, when\nthe following were present: His Worship Mayor Roberts in the chair, Aldermen MucPherson, Fink, Flowers,\nHicks and Jackson.\nMr. G.

Mr. Spreull thanked the council for the assistance given\nthe Library Board last year and asked\nthat consideration be given to the\nmatter of a grant to assist in taking\ncare of the overhead during the year\n1920.

The rock\nwhich Mr, Russell's engine struck was\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0stimated to have weighed upwards\nof 40 or 50 tons, but fortunately\nlid not land squarely on the track.\nIt remained on the side of the track,\nbut projected far enough so that\nside of the engine struck the\nrock, causing some damage to the\nngine and stripping oft' some of the\nside gear, The engine was running\nvery slowly at the time or the results\nmight have been far more serious.\nThere is now some talk of undertaking to move this entire bluff from\noverhanging angle and pitching\nit into the lake, und if this were\ndone, rail way men would no doubt\nfeel that one of their worst menaces,\nabout this time of the year, had been\nremoved. It is recalled that many\nyears ago, A. E. Watts, who formerly\nresided at Wattsburg, now known as\nLumberton, and was then connected\nwith the newspaper business in Cranbrook, called attention frequently to\ntht* danger which this piece of track\npresented, and urged continually\nthat steps be taken to safeguard the\nrailway at this point.\nGood Prizes Hung Up For\nTournament; Present\nStanding\nInterest in the bowling tournament\nnow being carried on is increasing\ndaily.

He felt that Mr. Statten would\no focus things that they would get\ni fresh realization of Him who said\nI am the way, the truth and the light.\nThat he was successful in doing so\nwas the opinion of many and this wus\ngiven expression to in a motion which\nwas moved by Messrs. F. Constantino and J. M. Clark at the conclusion\nof his remarks.\nThe speaker, through his interesting discourse, showed the importance\nof making the proper choice of the\nways in which we may direct our\nlives, referring often to the word\npicture which is here given:\n\"To every man there openeth a\nway and ways and A Way.\nThe high soul climbs the high\nway and the low soul gropes\nthe low,\nAnd in between on the misty\nflats the rest drift to and fro.\nTo every man there openeth a\nhigh way ond o low,\nAnd every man decideth the way\nhis soul shall go.\"\nFeb. 11th.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Belunger\nnet the Y.M.C.A. on the\nthe latter winning with\npoints.

It not being anticipated,\nhowever, that we are likely to have\na similar winter in 1926, provsion\nbus been made in the Expenditures\nfor n similar amount to that used in\nprevious years, namely $3,350.00.\nThe amount of $635.00 mentioned\nin your issue of Feb. llth is the excess arrived at by comparing tlu anticipated fuel runiuntpiioa foe lftlft\nFollowing is the report of W. IL\nWilson, president of the Cranbrook\nBoard of Trade for last year, nnd\nre-elected for the coming year, as\ngiven Ht the annual meeting on Wednesday evening:\nIn presenting the Annual Report\nof the Cranbrook Board of Trade for\nthe year 1986, I am glad to say that\nI do so with even more confidence\nand optimism for the future than I\nhud a year ago.\nConditions iu Canada at the beginning of another year are much\nmore cheerful than they were a year\nago. und the outlook for ihe restoration of world-wide trade to normalcy\nis certainly brighter, and we have\nmuch more reason to feel optimistic\nthan at any time since the Great\nWar.\nThe economic waste of the war nnd\nthe wild orgy of extravagance that\nfollowed the armistice must all be\natoned for before the ship of commerce regains an even keel, and it\ntakes a long time for a country to\nrecover, that suffered so deeply und\ngave so unstintedly aa Canada.\nThe most cheerful sign of returning prosperity is the outcome of the\nLocarno Conference, nnd if its promises of reconciliation among the nations of Europe are fulfilled, there\ncertain to be a pronounced stimulation of International trade, and industry will once more get into its\ntride. The pressing necessity of\nrestricting, as far as may be legitimately possible, all national expenditures is generally recognized, but\nunless it is followed by appropriate\naction which results in reduction in\ntaxes, we cannot regard it other than\nan ineffective gesture.\nIf our expenditure? should be so\ncontrolled lhat within a reasonable\ntime Canadian taxes should not exceed those imposed in the United\nStates it would prove an important\nstimulus to industry, and also an effective aid to immigration and colonization, the need for which is apparent. In urging that this measure\nof prudence and economy should be\nexercised, we do not do so with any\nfeeling that lack of confidence in the\ncountry itself is warranted. In fact,\nI think we should be more convinced\nthan ever that the country, actually\nand potentially, possesses such wealth\nand opportunity, that Its future cannot be denied, and we should discourage, most strongly, expressions\nof opinion based upon local conditions and individual business, which\nare perverted into pessimism, as to\nthe country's future, when no real\nfoundation to such a sentiment exists. Canada has unlimited resources\nand wealth, and East Kuotenay is\nspecially favored in thi; regard.\nOur board, thanks to the secretary\nand the different committees, has\nbeen very active during the past year,\nand has assisted materially jn agriculture, lumbering and mining, the\nthree principal industries of the district; improvement of motor roads,\nparking accommodations for tourists,\nand in many ways baa contributed\nto the prosperity of the city and district.\nWe have raised for all purposes\nthe splendid sum of $1800, thanks to\nthe generosity of the citizens of\nCranbrook and surrounding district.\nWe assisted the city council to the\nextent of $500 toward improvements\nin tourist park; erected a show case,\nfor district mineral display on north\nside of Pout Office, at a cost of $300;\nentertained the Associated Boards of\nTrade, and now have under consideration, with the assistance of the\nC.P.R., an addition to the Y.M.C.A.\nof a gym and swimming pool; extra\naccommodation and additional help\nat Kingsgate to take care of increased tourist traffic; the grading\nand oiling of our red and blue trails,\neast and west of the city; and planting of trees along said highway.\nI hope and trust thnt the members\nof the incoming board will take up\nthe activities already under way, and\nany new problems thut present themselves, and push them to un early\ncompletion.\nAgain thanking you for the trust\nand confidence reposed in me as\npresident of this board for the past\ntwo years, and trusting the newly\nelected board will have the generous\nsupport and co-operation of the citizens of Cranbrook and district,\nI beg to remain,\nRespectfully yours,\nW.

On a raised border of\nsilver around the vessel are two\ninscriptions, barely visible to the\neye. The first, reads \"Emmanuel le\nGrand to Vasco de Gama, 14,99\". The\nsecond Inscription is; \"Marquis Nizu-\nda da Gama to M.

Conditions had changed in other local industries, such as\nlumbering, which probably meant\nthat mining was going to come more\nto the fore. As for bock as 1896 he\nhad visited the Sullivan Mine, and\nthough it has since become one of\ntho greatest in the world, it waa ot\ntho time, in the opinion of those competent to judge, just us doubtful a\nproposition ns any prospective mine\nin the district ot the present time.\nHe personally was very optimistic as\nto the future of mining, and said he\nhod been successful to some extent in\nhis own ventures. If there was a\nreasonable faith shown in the district,\nthere was no reason why mining\nshould not come into its own.\nAfter referring briefly to the erection of the sample case of mineral\nspecimens which had been put up\non Baker Street, Mr. Santo made i\nsuggestion that u chest or case be pre\npared in which a smaller collection\nof samples could bo collected, which\ncould be taken for exhibition to the\nin the shape of a folder. Mr. Fink\nestimated that eight thousand cars\nhnd passed through tho city, carrying not less than thirty thousand\npeople, which indicated the growth\nof the tourist business, ond the wear\nand tear there was on the highways,\nIn considering this aspect of things,\nMr. Fink said he though that people\ndid not have enough confidence in\nthe district. So far as scenic attractions went, he was of the opinion that what was to be had in this\ndistrict was not at all inferior to\nthat of the Banff district.\nCommenting on this report, the\npresident said that it wns owing\nlargely to the fact that there had\nbeen u good response to the appeal\nfor subscriptions, that there hnd been\nmoney on hand to carry on the undertakings of the board.\nIn accepting this report, hearty\nthanks were tendered to the com\nmittee for their work.\nFor the entertainment committee\nthere was nothing to report beyond\nthat tendered the delegates at the\nassociated boards of trade conven\ntion here last year.\nNeed for Road Improvement\nFor the roads and camp ground\ncommittee, C. J. Little drew attention to the fact that the Cranbrook\ndistrict is the third largest revenue\nproducing district in the province,\nand it was felt that not enough consideration was being given to the\nmaintenance of the muin roads in\nthis sccton. For this reason they\nhad been trying to get improvements effected, particularly between\nYahk nnd Moyie and on to Kngsgate.\nThe committee now had the promise\nofficial duties.\nUrge Support of Community Projects\nT. R. Flett, as a member of the executive of the Agricultural Association, asked for the support of the\nmembers of the board of trade individually for the fall fair. With the\nsupport of the service clubs and the\npeople generally there could be no\nquestion as to the 9uccess of the fair.\nJ. P. Fink stated it was the intention of the Rod ond Gun Club to extend their sphere of influence\nthroughout the district, nnd to this\nend h wus planned to hold a meeting\nin Kimberley on Friday of next week,\nwhen it would be decided whether\nKimberley would launch a separate\nclub of their own, or lend u more decided support to the Cranbrook Rod\nand Gun Club. He urged that a good\ndelegation go up from this city to\nattend that meeting, as un evidenco\nof u willingness to co-operntc.\nG. J. Spreull also mentioned that\nthe Library Association hod u can-\nvuss of the city in course of preparation, the object being to get a larger\nmembership and get more books on\nthe shelves of the library. He gave\nsome figures showing to what extent\nthe library is ut present being made\nuse of, und asked for the assistance\nof all in making the effort us productive of results as possible. The time\nwas coming when Cranbrook would\nhave to have a good public library\nas a city undertaking und supported\nwith u mill rute, but thut time was not\nyet, he agreed.\nThis was all the business taken up\nbefore the meeting adjourned.\nvarious mining exhibitions and con\t\nventions in which tho district might lf improvements to be done on this\nbo interested. Such a case, he ba(J piece of highly, Bnd it was also\noxpectcd that the work on the new\nSuch\nthought, equipped with drawers,\nhandles and wheels, and weighing\nabout 260 pounds, could be built for\nabout ?:I0 or $36, and if the board\nthought fit to undertake this, he\nwould see to the gathering of the\nsamples.\nIn some discussion which took place\nprior lo the adoption of this report,\nit was brought out that Mr. N. A.\nWallinger had attended the mining\nconvention at Nelson last year as a\ndelegate from the local board, and\nthe district had been represented at\ntho Spokane convention by A. G.\nLanglcy, the district mining engineer.\nLater in tho evenng the proposal advanced by Mr. Santo was referred to\nthe incoming executive.\nFinances are Healthy\nThe annual financial .report was\nread by M. A. Beale, the chairman\nof that committee, and is given in\nfull elsewhere in this issue. It\nshowed that a larger amount had\nbeen subscribed locally for the work\nof the board, $1800 being raised by\nsubscriptions, with a total revenue\nfrom all sources of $2047.91. A\nbigger balance in hand was also being\ncarried forward to the coming year.\nT. R. Flett, while stating that from\na committee point of view there was\nlittle to report on, gave an interesting\ntalk on the agricultural conditions of\nthe dstrict, and gave it as his opinion\nthat there was a good future for\nforming in the district, if the right\ntype of people were encouraged to\nsettle here, and the trend of effort\nwas made towards dairying and hog\nraising, instead of grain growing.\nHe instanced several developments\nwhich were taking place which would\ntend to encourage agricultural development along these lines, and told\nof one instance where a rancher at\nEdgewood had been making $1000\nper year for supplies to the camps\nduring the time of construction of\nthe Bonff-Windermero road, and had\nexpected after that to do juBt as well,\nPublicity Being Well Looked Ater\nThe report of J. P. Fink for the\npublicity committee, was an interesting one, showing how the major activity of the board had been carried\non. He said that they had spent\nsomething like $5000 in the past\nIn general district publicity, and it\nwas felt now that more effort should\nbe put into advertising the Cranbrook district in particular. During the past year they had received\na large quantity of literature from\nthe government and the C.P.R., including 300 copies of a booklet,\n\"The Heart of the Selkirks,\" 600\ncopies of the \"Banff-Windermere\nRoad,\" 600 copies of \"The Call of\nthe Untrodden Ways,\" 1200 copies\nof \"Banff and District,\" as well as\n2000 road map.< from Calgary,\nwhich had been placed at the dis\npenal of the board at about cost\nprice. Two large signs relating lo\nthe tourist camp had been prepared,\nand would this year be placed about\nfive miles east and west of the city,\nand the arrow signs had also been\nplaced in the city directing tourists\nto the camp grounds. Two thousand cars had made use of tha\ncamp grounds last year, giving a\nrevenue of about $1000.\nMr. Fink had on display a large\nmap of the red and blue trails passing through the district, which had\nbeen in course of preparation for\nsome time. It measures about eight\nfeet by twelve, and will have on it\ntho principal points of interest from\na scenic standpoint, each one illUB\ntrated wth photographs. These\nviews will include Smith Lake,\nMoyie Lake, Premier Lake, Wasa\nLako, Klmborloy, Wild Horse Creek,\nate., and when completed the picture will be placed in the cookhouse\nat the camp grounds, where it is\nlikely to arouse a good deal of interest Later it may be produced\nId \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 .mailer form for distribution\nsome nasty bumps which temporarily stopped the game. Both bobbed\nup serenely, however, und continued\nthe play. Mr. Ashton Powers, who\nrefcreed the game, performed his\nduties impartially.\nFollowing the game the Cranbrook\ngirls entertained the visitors at the\nVictoria to a chicken supper. Here\nthe game was replayed, drum sticks\nand wish bones replacing the hockey\ncudgels, and all felt in such a happy\nmood that the blue was wiped out,\npassing in ull directions being freely\nindulged in, the Crunbrook girls en-\ndeuvoring, if they could not beat\nthem on the ice, to at least get even\non the hospitality score.\nThe teams were as follows:\nFernie Team\nGoal Mrs. C.

The interests of the tourists were being look-\nid after here, and it was also important to see that the roads were\nalso kept in us good shape as possible.\nElection of Officers\nWhen the business of the election\nof officers was approached, there was\na little tangle threatened over a proposal to increase the executive from\neight to ten. Ths was finally voted\ndown after a good deal of discussion.\nThe following are the officers of the\nboard for the coming year:\nPresident W. H. Wilson\nVice-President W. R. Grubbe\nExecutive Council\u00E2\u0080\u0094G. J. Spreull,\nT. R. Flett, J. P. Fink, M. A. Beale,\nJ. F. Scott, W. S. Santo, C. J. Little,\nA. Graham.\nAuditors\u00E2\u0080\u0094T. M. Boberts and E.\nPaterson.\nMr. Wilson wns at first reluctant\nto allow his name to go up for election again as president, but there\nwere insistent demands that he reconsider this decision, and he finally\nconsented to stand agan.\nSpecial Committees\nReporting for a special committee,\nregarding the proposal now under\nconsideration, for an extension to the\nY.M.C.A. plant to house an up-to-date\ngymnasium and swimming pool, J,\nP. Fink said that orginal estimates\nhaving proved too high, plans were\nnow being drawn up which could be\nplaced before the company for further consideration. The city council\nhad agreed to advance the cost of\nthese plans, and in about ten days it\nwas thought that there might be some\nestimates arrived at Chat would put\nthe proposal in tangible form. The\nrequest of the committee for an extension of time on this account was\ntherefore granted.\nSpeaking In this connection the\nMayor said that he thought, seeing\nit would probably be too late to get\nanything done this year, it ought to\nbe possible to make some arrangements at small cost whereby the use\nof the swimming pool in the old\ngymnasium could be had at small\ncost.\nMr. Spreull said a committee\nwas working on a plan to facilitate\nthe quicker clearance of tourist cars\nthrough the customs and immigration\noffices at Kingsgate, but he had not\nbeen acting on the committee long\nenough to be able to render a definite\nreport of progress. A further extension of time was therefore granted the committee. Incidentally it\nwas stated that six thousand cars hnd\npassed through Kingsgate last season.\nTo Hald Banquet and Recaption\nA matter of considerable importance was introduced by Mr. Speull,\nwhen he suggested that in view of\nthe honor which had been done to the\ndistrict by the naming of Mr. R. R.\nBruce as the new lleutenant-govfern-\nor of B.C., the board of trade might\nwell extend to him some mark of\nrecognition, which might take the\nform of a banquet and reception. He\nhad learned that the people of lnvermere and district were willing to fall\nIn with whatever plans the Cranbrook\nboard might make along these lines.\nA resolution was passed instructing\nthe board to take steps to prepare for\nWin 3-2 in Fast Game at\nArena Rink on Wednesday Evening\nBefore a large number of hockey\nenthusiasts the All-Star ladles' hockey team of Fernie met a picked team\nfrom the Crunbrook Ludies' hockey\nclubs at the Arena Rink on Wednes\nday night. The game was a return\none, the first being played in Fernie\nrecently nnd won by the Conl city\nsextette by 2 goals to nothing. The\nFernie team was just home from their\ntrip to Banff where they met the best\nteams In the west.\nFrom start to finish of the game\nthere wus not a dull moment, the\nladies, a sseeins their custom, attending to their knitting all the time.\nThe first period started nwuy in a\nbusiness-like manner with Fernie\npressing hard, it being soon evident\nto the Cranbrook crowd thut the visitors were stck handlers of the first\norder. Play swayed from end to end\nfor o time, when Miss Dal Schagel,\nthe star defence player of the Fernie\nteam came down the ice and while\nMiss Drummond relieved, the puck\nrebounded from Miss Syle's stick The\nfirst period thus ended with the\nscore 1 to 0 in favor of Fernie, Soon\nafter the stort of the second period\nMiss Greaves secured the puck on a\ncheck near centre ice and stack\nhandling her way up the ice scored\nCranbrook's first goal, the puck\nglancing in from a defence player's\nstick, its slow roll seeming to fool\nthe crack Fernie goal keeper. With\nthe score a tie, play became faster.\nThe Fernie aggregation made a determined effort to. again secure the\nlead with the result that after many\nrepented rushes by them which were\nvoliently foiled by the Slye-Ryde de-\nfence, Mrs. Steeves got one past Miss\nDrummond. After five minutes\nmore piny Miss Greaves again scored\nputting Fernie to the good when the\nperiod ended.\nFernie Hald Their Lead\nIn the third period alone the fans\ngot their money's worth ns It was\nbrimful of excitement, Fernie making\ndetermined onslaught on Cranbrook's goal. For a short period they\nsucceeded in drawing out the Cranbrook defence and passing them\nwith their combination play, Miss\nDrummond was called upon to make\nsaves from all angles from the fast\nFernie shooters, within three minutes\nstaving off five shots that were dead\non. Miss Slye soon got on to the\nFernie game and gritting her teeth\nput in some real Stanley cup defence\nwork. Time and again she would\nstop fast Fernie forwards, securing\nthe puck and feeding the forwards\nwith short dashes up the ice. She\nwas veil supported by Miss Ryde.\nWith about three minutes to go\nMiss Godderis aecurcd the puck\nfrom Miss Burton about centre ice\nund after a short dash, made u\nbeautiful shot which bulged the nets\nfor a clean gonl, forming a fitting\nclimnx for the brillant gome which\nshe hud put up all through the\nmatch. The official final score was\nthree to two. A disputed goal by\nFernie wns disallowed as it wns put\nin after the bell had rung for a face\noff.\nTeams Show Up Well\nWith regard to the other Cran\nbrook players not mentioned above\nall are deserving of much credit for\nthe gomes they put up.

The\nboys were given a very enjoyable\ntime while at the provincial capital,\nnnd everyone heaving the report Riven of the proceedings both inside the\n\"house\" and outside of it, could not\nbe otherwise Hum Impressed with a\nsense of its usefulness In encouraging\na particularly useful type of citizenship,\nWhat The Parliament Did\nUyron Haynes dealt more particularly with tho nature oE the measures\nconsidered by tho boys' parliament,\nand its progress from day to day.\nTHE CRANBROOK HERALD\nPAGIi FIVE\nAmong the measures passed was one\nsuggesting the formation of a body\nto act in the nature of a senate in\nrelation to the parliament, and outlining the duties expected of such a\nbody. Another called for the\ninstitution of a \"Mother-and-Son\"\nweek, in conjunction with Mothers'\nDay, which is now widely observed.\nThe organization and work of the\nboys' parliament was defined by the\n| wording of another measure, and a\nsurvey of conditions as to boys' work,\n{and the possibilities of instituting\nthe Tuxis work in places where it\nwas not yet established, formed the\nbasis of other resolutions introduced.\nDistrict camps were advocated also,\npossibly lending later to dominion\nconferences, but this latter cannot\nlie brought about this year, it has\n' been learned. One resolution which\ndid not pass was read by Byron\nHaynes. It set forth that Sunday\njports which did not actually conflict with Sunday services might be\nconsdered by the boys as not interfering with the Tuxis ideals of\nSunday observance. The \"buy a\nbond\" campaign for the financial advancement of both the girl's and boys'\nwork was also explained more fully.\nPart of these funds would go towards\nJthe provision of a travelling secretary,\nand part this year towards tbe expenses of sending a B.C. representative to\nthe international gathering spoken\nof previously. How Tuxis work was\ngrowing was clearly shown in figures\ngiven, showing that there are now\n212 groups at work in the province,\nwith a membership of 2787 boys und\nrepresenting 12!) churches, a big increase from the previous year. Both\nboys were given very hearty applause ut the conclusion of their ad\ndresses, and subsequent speakers\nmade reference to the splendidly\ncomprehensive reports which the\nbuys had been able to give.\nImportant Details of Life\nMr. G. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2!. Spreull was the first of\nI the grown up speakers and after some\nhumorous references in his opening\nremarks and congratulations to tbe\nboys who had just spoken, he passed\non some earnest advice, more especially to the grown-ups, in regard to\n[the importance of some details of\ndaily business life, which are apt to\nbe overlooked. He referred particularly to tbe habit so easily formed of\nattaching Insufficient importance to\nthe keeping of appointments. This\nfailing he characterized as nothing\n| less than theft\u00E2\u0080\u0094theft of someone's\nitime, often quite valuable. When\nmen arc appointed to serve on committees or similar duties in the com\nmunity, Mr. spreull considered that[change of viewpoints could not but\nthey h\nthan il\nA\nclusio\nthat\nId put forth nothing less j be of immense value iu unifying the\nbesl efforts in thai behalf., aims and ideals of boys' lives all over\nther course, he stated, would the world. Had such been possible\nyears ago it was quite likely that the\nidea of domination which had been\ninstilled into the minds of the youth\nof Germany would not have taken\nsuch a firm hold, so that the clash of\narms ten years ago might have been\navoided. Mr, Cox also explained fur-\nther the nature of the boys' bond\ncampaign now being carried on, by\naccomplishing. Mr. Cox is a} wHich means money for carrying on\nthe Tuxis programs is raised. He\noutlined the methods whereby the\nboys at bis home town of Salmon Arm\nhud far out reached their objective.\nHe told of evidences that Tuxis work\nis proving worth while, the starting\nof the work iu some small towns hav-\ng proved the means of creating\nlead the boys t\n\"It did not matter much, because dad\ndid it\".\nGive Boy. R\pM Ideali\nMr. Cox of Salmon Ann was the\nnext sp aker, and after congratulating the boys who had poken, he emphasized the importance of the boys'\nparliament, showing the good work\nil w\nboys' leader of much experience.\nHe stated he considered Mh- coming world boy.-' conference to 1\"' held\nat HeltngforSj Finland, would be an\ninternational gathering of great importance.

These suggested a new\nmethod of boy training which promised different results than had hitherto\nbeen achieved. Mr. Statten analyzed the relationship of the normal\nfamily, showing bow children In their\nyoung days are more dependent upon\ntheir mother. But later years, he\nshowed, brought change-, and the\nboy's father becomes tbe paramount\nconsideration in his life. In their\nearly teens, some boys showed this\ndevelopment so strongly that it appeared to take the form of an intense\nJesire to avoid all feminine company,\nwhich Mr. Statten humorously pointed out, they usually got over. He illustrated his points by numerous anecdotes and experiences from bis own\nwork and his pointed illustrations of\ntbe truth.- be sought to convey were\nsuch as could not fail to deepen the\nconviction his hearers formed, that\nMr. Statten was no mere dabbler in\nthe boys' work but was : Mined to\ngetting to the heart of thing?. He\ncharacterized tbe new way of bringing up boys as the \"Jesus way\" translated into modern conditions, this\nopening up the way for fourfold development, just as It had bien recorded of their Pattern, that He had gone\non \" growing in wisdom and stature,\nand Increasing in favor with God and\nman. \"He emphasized the necessity\nfor maintaining the \"gang\" instinct\nwhich all boys have, and for carrying\non the development of character\nalong these lines, it waa the Tuxis\nideal to preserve the boys in their\ngangs and to see that these gangs\nhave their activities properly directed, so that the baser aims which so\noften make themselves apparent\nwould be crowded out by something\nmore worth while. Mr. Statten\ngave many Instances of what he called one-sided development which he\nhad met with in the course of his\nexperience in his big annual cajnp\nwhich he conducted near Toronto,\nand he showed how sometimes the\npolicy of repressing a boy's natural\ninstinct for companionship, that is,\nkeeping them largely to themselves,\noften brings results which are far\nfrom desirable-. Mr. Station's address,\nwhich occupied the biggest part of\nan hour was extremely interesting,\nand those who heard it, felt they saw\nnew light on what is, after all, one\nof the big problems of these times.\nAppreciation for Mr. Statten's address was shown very unmistakably\nat its close.\nCheer* For Tbe Ladies\nThe ladies came in for some complimentary remark-; on tha manner\nin which they had provided the banquet and responding to the cheers\nwhich were given, Mrs. VY. B. Mc-\nFarlane said it had been a pleasure\nfor the ladies to undertake the work\nand they felt that much benefit was\ngoing to accrue from Mr. .St at ten's\nvisit.\nFurther meetings were held in connection with the consideration of the\nTuxis program on Saturday morning\nin the Baptist Church, and Saturday\nafternoon in the United Church. A\nvery frank discussion took place as\nto the possibility of extending the\nTuxis work here, but it was found\nthat with the boy scouts well established in the Anglican, United and\nPresbyterian churches it would be\ndifficult to successfully form any\nfurther groups. At present the Baptist Church conducts both Trail Rangers and Tuxis Square groups in con-\nneciton with their Sunday School\nwhile at the Presbyterian Church\nthere is a group of Trail Bangers.\nWOMEN'S |\nINSTITUTE J\n\u00E2\u0099\u00A6 I\n+.J-+ *+++++++.;\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 f* *.:.;.;..K*++\u00E2\u0099\u00A6+\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\nLocal Talent Night on Wednesday,\nFebruary 24th, at the Star Theatre\nwill be taken charge of by the\n.Women's Institute.

She\nleaned close to him, smiling, and\npatted u warning finger on his lips.\nThere now, there is no mystery\nto me except the miraculous mystery\nof our youth and love. For the\nrest, I'm not interested in any of\nCrater City's pet mysteries. But\nit's a wonder most of the cats there\naren't dead, if curiosity is as deadly\nthe tabbies as tradition would\nhave us believe!\"\nThis generonity of spirit instead\nof having the intended effect of reas-\nuring him, only served to make him\nunhappy and miserable, stubbornly\ndetermined to go through with hi:\nrevelations. This was in his period\nof transition frpm hia elevated mood\nback to his oppressed level of th\"\nsleepless night, and if he had been\nable to have his way a middle ground\nmight have been attained by their\nnewly confessed love,\nBut Caroline, thinking that she\nwas acting for the best in saving\nBob whatever pains or heart-throbs\nmight be involved in the explanation\nhe wanted to make, refused steadfastly to hear it. Before the matter\ncould be urgued tP a conclusion,\nudden and startling Interruption\ncame in the form of an ear-splitting\nautomobile siren on the road that\nran on the other side of the grove,\nabout a hundred yards from the\nthickly-shrubbed cliff edge where\nCaroline and Bob were seated.\nBecause this was an unfrequented\nroad at best, traversed only occasionally by mountaineers' flivvers,\nond because tbe noise was so obviously different from the usual automobile horn and so plainly an alarm\nsignal of some sort, it brought the\nlovers to their feet.\nCaroline, in terror, shrank into\nthe arms of Bob, who said excitedly:\n\"That's the police patrol from\ntown or I miss my guess! You\nknow, they're transferring prisoners\nat the rate of a single carload a day\nfrom the old state jail to the new\npenitentiary up the line. There's\nbeen a prison coach attached to the\nwestbound Limited each night for\nseveral nights past. One was laid up\nin the yards this morning. I wonder\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"\nThey exchanged significant looks,\nwhile the siren continued to draw\ncloser and despoil the quiet mountain glen with its raucous warning.\nCaroline clung even closer to Bob,\non unaware claim for a mate's pro-\ntecton; and Bob, thrilling to the\nwarm contact of her young body,\nwhich quivered against him as a\ncaptive bird might in a man's clenched fist, felt a vast possessiveness\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nfelt that he could successfully fight\noff a whole carload of escaped desperadoes, if necessary, to save her.\nHe shot an arm around her shoulder and stood alertly with his other\nfist doubled and ready when there\ncame a crashng In the bushes nearby,\nand loud voices. Three uniformed\npolicemen, with sowed off shotguns,\nbrokje through and confronted them\nbreathlessly.\n\"Seen anyone\u00E2\u0080\u0094a man in convict\nstripes?\"\n\"No!\" said Bob calmly. \"Why,\nwhat's the matter?\"\n\"Matter enough if you stumbled\ninto him!\" said one cop in tones that\ndenoted respect for the reputation\nof his quarry. \"The most dangerous\nund vicious criminal who's ever been\nin the State bullpen escaped from the\ntransfer car.

Boh, though\nassuring her that it was silly to be\nalarmed, humored her.\nThey hod gone but a short distance down the shrub-massed cliff\npath, though the siren and the shouting of the skirmishing policemen were\nalready fainter as they searched out\na new section on the wooded summit\nabove, when like a weird and menacing jack-in-thje-box a striped and\nshackled figure uprose from a bush\nand stood leering In their path.\n\"Bob Wilson, take me oath if It\nain't\u00E2\u0080\u0094an' quite respectable looking!\"\nBob could not refrain a horrified\nrecoil from the shock of recognition.\n\"Spike I\"\n\"Ain't you clever to guess it!\"\nCaroline, meanwhile, a sliflcd\nscreum dissolving in her throat as\nshe heard the familiarity and equality in the greeting of this vicious\nlooking criminal for Bob\u00E2\u0080\u0094her Bob\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094felt a sick bewilderment and disgust; it must be true, then, that there\nwas something sordid and bad in\nBob's past when its associations had\nbeen so base and unlovely.\nBob, looking at her in that tense,\nsoul-stripping moment, read the con-\ncrete suspicions and distrust dawning\nin her eyes, and felt a rush of stub-\nbornness at the injustice of Fate that\nwas robbing him of the carefully\nhoarded strength of his exile. First\nJane\u00E2\u0080\u0094now Spike. Spike, who had\nread\u00E2\u0080\u0094thut poster 1 .j\nBob stared at Spike again, dully\ncurious. i\n\"I want yuh to help me, see!\"\ngrowled Spike. \"Hide me till thuh\nlousey bulls git OUten here\u00E2\u0080\u0094\" The |\nsounds of the pursuing party seemed\nto be growing nearer again, This\nfact, coupled with Bob's hesitation,\ninflamed Spike, who shook his steel\nclow threntetily under Bob's white\nface.\n\"Hide me, Wilson\u00E2\u0080\u0094or I'll tell de\nlady friend about dat poster\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"\nFurther hesitation on Bob's part;\nthen, wetting his lips, he said evenly:\n\"Tell and be damned to you!\"\nThe beast in Spike raged ut this\ndefiance, He leaped close to Caroline before Bob, taken off his guard,\ncould interfere\u00E2\u0080\u0094tore her dress from\nher shoulders with his human hand\nand set the rapier point of his steel\nhand against her white breast,\n\"Promise you'll help me, or I'll\nrip her open!\" he yelled red-eyed,\nat Bob.\nCaroline was frozon with terror\nIn her tracks\u00E2\u0080\u0094mouth open and eyes\nstorting as she looked at and shrank\nfrom the prick of the deadly claw.\nBob, paralyzed, looked on in terror\nnot less than her own.\nBut his return to full possession\nof his faculties, under the lash of\ntragic necessity, was lightning fast.\nHe leaped forward and struck out\nsimultaneously. His left fist reached\nits mark on Spike's jaw at almost\nthe precise instant that his right\nhand, with athletic continuity of motion, pushed Caroline backwards out\nof harmful contact with the falling\ndesperado's spike.\nSpike was not knocked out. He\nhud barely touched the ground br-\nfore with u tigerish squirm he flung\nhis muscular leg around in such a\nway that it snipped Bob's legs from\nunder him, crumpling him to the\nground beside Spike, who came to\ninstant grips with him.\nBob knew Spike's method of old.\nHe remembered the horror that be\nhad been filled with upon the occasion of* his first meeting with\nSpike, when he had reflected upon\nthe possibilities of that steel claw as\na weapon. Now, therefore, he instinctively grabbed for the spike.\nAnd not a moment too soon, for it\ncame within a hair of slithering his\nthroat.\nThe fight became a thrashing melee, Spike fought with the insane\ncourage and cruelty of a maddened\ndog; Bob remained chiefly on the\ndefensive, guarding his eyes, his\nthroat, his heart from frantic jnb-\nbings of the steel hand. Now and\nagain, Bob was able to get in a telling smash against Spike's face. But\nSpike met Bob on terms of equal\nstrength, and had the advantages of\nhis frightful claw and of experience\nin the dirtier points of rough ond\ntumble fighting, gained in many a\nlow barroom and rough tracksldc\ncamp.\nBob soon realized that he was face\nto face with a fight for his life.\nCaroline, with a suddenly discovered\ncourage standing her in good stead\nas she witnessed the fight of her\nman for his very life, moved back\nand forth with the thrashing bodies\nas they rolled and tumbled around,\ngouging up the rocky turf.\nAt every chance she seized Spike,\ndisregarding the bock lashes of his\nflailing steel hand, and tried to pull\nhim away from Bob\u00E2\u0080\u0094giving Bob\nevery aid and advantage possible to\nenable him to get in a vital blow.\nShe was so engaged when several\nmembers of the police posse rushed\nInto the scene and made short work\n<'f jerking Spike to his feet, handcuffing him, and punching him into\nsubjection under the threat of their\nmurderously shortened shotguns,\nBob got to his feet unsteadily.\n\"You win, bo\u00E2\u0080\u0094but it's my turn\nnext time!\" snarled Spike over his\nshoulder. \"Hell, you're wanted by\nthe police yourself\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"\n(To be continued)\n*t<*****TtM*i*i*tmm*4iit*^n^it^\nLUMBERTON\nI\n5 CHIPS\nirVAW-WWUWAWVWVYW\nThe program which wns carried out\nlast-evening by the members of Lumberton L.O.L., No. 2915, in the Lumberton Hall, was a decided success.\nThe people of Lumberton were the\nWork In the snwmill has been pro- conducted u candy sale, the proceeds\nj grossing nt a rapid ratii; and most of of which went to the general fund\n' the necessary repair work which was which hns been started as a nucleus\nplanned for the winter has been com-1 for n fund to carry on the work of\npleted.
