Meeting of Citizens Election of Mayor and Aldermen for 1914 A large meeting o! representative ratepayers of Cranbrook met in the City Hall on Wednesday afternoon, for tbe purpose of selecting candidate., for the 1914 City Council. Mr. A. B. Macdonald was asked to take the chair,who said in opening "that the meeting was called bo as to have a quiet talk on Municipal matters, and to select a strong and representative ticket, or rather to select a representative council. One that would meet the approbation of all parties, and one that would carry no suggestions of partyism into the 1914 council. Thnt what was wanted was a Btrong and business like council, bo as to keep up the same standard hs previous councils. Another feature was the desire to cut off all unnecessary expenses. The following names were then BUg gested: For Mayor:—SIMON TAYLOR For Aldermen;—Lester Clapp (». Erickson C. Campbell M. Horie F. Genest H. Hickenbotham In case of either nne of the above named candidates declining ta run, thc Mayor nnd remaining Ave candidates to select n sixth man that would tie suitable and one that would be in harmony with them. It was then moved that the above candidates be placed In nomination and elected by acclamation. The motion was curried unanimously. Ex.Alderman C. Ward said: "that If the above program was arranged aud carried through, it would be satisfactory to all parties, and that a considerable expense would be a- volded. That tbey were representative men, and that while he should have liked to have Alderman Leask on the new council, yet the council accepted were all practical men, who would bc acceptable to all. W. F. Attridge of the SaBh & Door Factory, Batd;"that he did not know where they could do better, that they representative men, all good citizens aB good as could be selected; aB such a large number of the citizens were present he would suggest that a vote of thanks be tendered to the retiring council as, a token of appreciation of their efforts during the past year. The motion was seconded by Mr. J. A. Arnold, and was carried unanimously. A hearty vote of thanks was then tendered to the chairman A. B. Macdonald for presiding at thia meeting carried. ORANBROOK, B.O. SATURDAY MORNING JANUARY, 3. 1914. Bring in the Homesteader! Great Public Meeting, Monday January 5th, 1914 No. 1 I M P 0 R T A N T It is very strongly urged tbat this meeting be largely attended. The matter is one of extreme urgency. When all is said and done, it is the homesteader who makes a country, not the man who Ih ready for a gam hie in land. To get the homesteader In requires that the authorities be informed of the CDiuli-tiniiB of the District. It is not the object of the people to induce, or try to induce, the Government to vary in their general land policy, but rather to ask them to consider the special conditions of the Cranbrook area. It ib manifest that conditions here ars not as lu other places and it is also equally plain that if we are to make cur wants known we have to use our voices in a common request. That is the great reason why the meeting of next Monday evening should be largely attended. Marysville A scene of [...parallelled gaiety and childest merriment met the eyes and cars of this scribe as he entered the coay precincts of Mine-host Handleys spacious hoBtel on Tuesday evening last. The occasion was the one annual treat which, above all others, tbe juvenile portion of the commun ity—(and I rhrewdly guess their sen- iors)—-look forward to with no little anticipation and, if the truth be known, gustatory qualms. A gorgeous Christmas Tree lit up by sparklers, resplendent with glittering decorations and surrounded by mysterious looking parcels is a sight apparently tremendously alluring to the average human eye. The shape and size of every parcel is greedily devoured by tbe bright eyes of the youngsters in whase energetic minds speculations as to tbe contents of ench individual packet run riot. The thoughts: i'ls that big one for me"? "I wonder if that long one is mine?" are clearly depicted on each eager, rosy visage. What matter though tbe snow he deep outside and tho thermometer below zero. ThiB cers: hour is one of informal, spontaneous merriment and warmth, and all seem impartially infected with the spirit of the festive Bcason. By kind permission of Mr. Handley, his large dining hall was, for the nonce, trans formed into Fairyland, and a throng of upwards of forty children and as many adults congregated there and listened with evident signs of pleasure and appreciation to a program composed of instrumental Items, and Bongs and recitations contributed, for tho major part, by the Juvenile members of the community. Mr. N. W. Burdctt Officiated as manager and announcer of the concert items in his usual etliclent and good humored manner. Where all performed so cred itably it were Invidious to specialize, i luit special note must be made of the pianoforte duets by the Misses Taylor and Handley; the Carol singing of Mesdames Bidder and Horman and Messrs, James and Horman; the violin solo of Mr. Arch. Fairbairn; pian soloB by Miss B. Barclay and Percy Mellor and the comic songs by Mrs. Welsh, the wife of the new but popular Manager of the Falls View Hotel. The following were amongst those who also took a part: The Misses Eva and Pearl Barclay, Kdith Mellor Ranka Lundin, Madge Kerr, Winni- fred Burdett, Mildred Burdett, Nellie and Grace Tibbetts and Master Arth ur Handley, Percy Mellor, Ed. Lun din, Bertie Hawkes, Leslie James, Harold Bennet, Rexie Bidder, and Jesse Tibbetts. Installation of 'Officers A special meeting of Cranbrook Lodge, A.F. ft A.M., waB held in the Masonic Temple on Saturday night, St. Johns night, for the purpose of installing the officers elect for the ensuing year. Past W.M., M. A. Beale, as install ing officer, installed the following . ofti W.M.—H. Hickenbotham 9.W.—T. H. Bamfield J.W.—H. Spence T.—J. P. Fink S.—L. C. Cranston T.-W. Gibbs S.D.—W. E. Worden J.D.—H. B. Carter I.O.—H. ED. McKowan S.S.-J. Martin J.S.-W. Halsall C— Rev. W. K. Thomson After the ceremonies of thc evening were over, the Brcthern and visitors repaired to the spacious dining room of thc temple, nnd sat down to an elegant repast which had been prepared hy thf.v stewards, After the repast had heen enjoyed, addresses were given by a number of those pre sent, and a good time was enjoyed hy all present. A most representative meeting was held in the Conservative Association Hall on Hanson Avenue on the 13th December, whereat Mr. A. E. Watts was chairman. The meeting was in the nature of a convention of all shades of opinion in the 'Oranbrook District, to deal with the question of endeavoring to induce the Government to open tbe logged off areas of the district to homesteaders rather than offering them for sale and inducing the speculative capitalist to acquire them. It was decided that all should join in an expression of the feelings of the people of Cranbrook and the surrounding district that homesteaders Bhould be offer .d the strongest possible induceme ts to take up the vacant lauds now in the hands of the Crown, rather than that such landB be put up for sale by auction or to the highest bidder, thus compelling the legitimate agriculturist to compete with the capitalist who, for purely speculative purposes, might hold back the land indeftnately from cultivation and development; whereas, the homesteader ia, pre-eminently, the man who builds 'ip a farming community, especially in a country so admirably adapted for mix_d farming as the Cranbrook Land District is. It was, therefore, unanimously declared by the Meeting: WHEREAS considerable numbers of^ prospective settlers have, during the past spring, summer and fall, come into the Cranbrook District from the Old Country and from the United States seeking for land for homesteadlng purposes and have, to their own loss and the losses of the community, found all land in the DiBtrlct suitable for agricultural purposes already taken up, with the exception of some of the land formerly held under timber licence an .which, having been logged ofl, reverted to the Crown and is now held under reserve: AND WHEREAS the condition of thc Cranbrook Land District being exceptional iu this regard, tbat there is practically no land within its area available or suitable for homesteadlng save the lapsed timber limits, such for instance, as those tracts formerly held by the North Star Lumber Company, Ltd,, between Hospital Creek and the North Star Branch of the C.P.R. and many o- thi-rs that could be mentioned, It is tbe unanimous opinion of tbis Meeting tbat tbo special conditions re ferred to so seriously retard the ag- j ricultural development of the District as to merit special consideration and legislation at the hands of the Government, PROPOSED by A. B. Macdonald, seconded by A. B. Grace, and unanimously carried that all logged-off or cut-over timber berths within the area of tbe Cranbrook Land District which have reverted to the Crown on the expiry of their licences under which tbey were heretofore held, shall he declared by the Govern ment available for homesteadlng put poses: and further, that the Crown lands in the same area which are suitable for agricultural purposes and which have been surveyed by the Government shall also be declared available for the purposes of homesteadlng. PROPOSED by Ira Manning, seconded by Samuel Macdonald, and carried unanimously that a Commit-1 tee be appointed by the Chairman to prepare a Petition to the Government embodying ths foregoing Recitals and Resolutions and have such Petition circulated and signed throughout the Cranbrook Land District; and that such Petition shall accompany the Recitals and Resolutions of this meeting and be sent to The Honorable the Minister of Landa The Honorable The Premier, to the Members of tbe Government and the Lieutenant Governor in Council. It hae been decided that a general public meeting shall be held at tbe Conservative Association Rooms on Hanson Avenue, on Monday next, .th January, at 4 p.m., for tbe purpose of receiving signatures to the following Petition in furtherance of thc terms of the resolutions.

We perceive the must signal marks ol the future progress of the City of Cranhrook, and of the mining industry of Southeast Kaotenay. The opening of new mine-a in the St. Mary's District, an increase in the development of our timber resources, and the rapid development of the agricultural lands of the district, will be the most potent stimuloits which has been given to the industrial growth of the Cranhrook district, and the completion of the Kootenay Central railway -will go far towards placing Cranbrook in the front rank ns the commercial and mining centre of this district. • ■ • • Therefore tu our readers all over the district, the province, the 1 .nion and elsewhere, we wish them heartily—most heartily—A Happy New Year. • • • • What Southeast Kootenny, anb the Cranbrook district now requires to place them in the front rank of the mining industry is capital, next n.ore immediate railway construction tac building of branch lines to a number of mining cnttips, and the ex tensive development of the vast ug ..cultural resources ot the district. • * • • There is no doubt but that 1914 will see a great interest taken in Southeast Kootenay mines, not a- lone in mining speculation, but legitimate mining—a branch of indue try which is regarded as among the safest investments the district has got, many large tinancial companies are now on the lookout tor gold or cop- uer properties, and some of the bes people, with large capital, are going into tbe Perry CreeK country during the current year. -\ number _-i pro mising properties m the vicinity of the St. Mary'-. River are being look ed to with a view of purchasing; and there is no doubt but tnat this district will come to tbe front this year in all branche** of the mioing industry. • • • • With tne X-ray instruments a man is able to bee through six inches uf wood and read closed boaks; but the attempt to read a woman's mind, or explain wbat the C.P.R. is -;oing to do for this district in the way of cheaper freights, han proved a fail- re. • • • • Cranbrook Farmers in session have resoluted the Dominion and Provincial governmenth in favor of the establishment of an experimental farm an agricultural college in the Crnnbrook district.

New Zealand convinced LONDON—Arthur Meyers, a member of the New Zealand parliament and the immediate predecessor of Col. Allen in the office of minister of defence, at present in England, states that Col. Allen has given considerable time to the study of imper iel defence and always while in op position showed himself capable of taking a wide outlook. No doubt the present government, in their view tnat New Zealand should possess a lleet unit of her own, however small, in the beginning, waa actuated by a desire to foster a national spirit. There might be differences ot opinion in New Zealand upon methods, but there was none upon the primary im portance of supremacy at sea. tJRAND DUKE DEFENDS HIS CHARACTER, or An a dumb Bonis crnvssjji f.runil liulie Hurls nt RunkIii, cousin nf Ihe Tsar, appeared In open court be. int tbe 1 ..nl Chief .In .Ice In London In in* ik. mn 11 v refute Ibe llbcluiis attack ou his honor niiiile In Iml April's Ikhiip of ,Miiiine.v'n Mugs-ill 10 uud to challenge tbe proof of any of the HliileitieutH coDsllllltlllg the libel, lle lefl tin* .'nilil iiuuii with a complete vindication anil apologies from Mr. -miik A.

ThiB hope is based on both superstition aud fact. The superstition which has surrounded the number 13 with such dreadful doubts and fears is strongly enough engraved on the minds of the majority of people to make them believe that the closing year was ordained to he unlucky from its very inception. While it can hardly be taken seriously, there seem to iiiiv-' been enough trouble during 1913 to give color to tbe superstition ln the minds of superstitious people, and education to a point above such mediaeval beliefs ima not progressed sufficiently to eradicate superstition from the minds of even a tenth of the world's inhabitants. How often one hears the expression "Everything will be all right after this year." It is obvious that thfl average man and woman regards 1913 as something af a hoodoo and that all are unanimous in believing that 1914 wlll cure all the ills. However, it is a pleasant fact that superstition is not entirely the basis for this inspiring hope. There are many good and sufficient reasons wby 1914 should be regarded in the light of a special dispensation of providence to redeem the catastrophes and near catastrophes of the present year With the exception of the perennial war being waged in Mexico, the year opens with a very fair imitation of universal peace. Even thc Balkans arc not rumbling with subdued animosity to an extent great enough to make the growls audiable enough on this side of the Atlantic. All this is bound to have a more than optimistic effect on the money markets of the world. In Canada thc hankers have declared that tho money stringency is practically over and the causes underlying the stringency have been removed. This is edifying neWB even to those who are not connected with banks excepting as an occasional depositor. Of course these statements are accompanied by the usual warnings and passionate pleas for e enm-my in all undertakings, but there is a decided note of good cheer in tho arguments of the financial magnates in general. Ever since the beginning of 1913 there has boen constant alarm on tho part of the financiers. The year before had been a season of pbonomen- 8YNOP8IS OF COAL MINING REGULATIONS Ooal mining rights of the Dominion In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the Yukon Territory, the North west Territories and in a portion ot the Province of British Columbia, may be leased for a term of twenty- one years at an annual rental of fl an acre.

This notice, in terms of law, is equivalent* to a personal demand by me upon all persons liable for taxes. Dated at Cranbrook, B.C. the 29th day of December, 1913. N. A.

Tbey uttered warning after warning, then shut down on ihe almost unlimited credit which had obtained previously. For this reason, despite all tbe cries of "hard times," the banks themselves have increased their dividends during 1913. They saw the danger and discounted it to their own advantage. For this tbey can hardly be blamed, since banks are primarily established in tbe interests of the shareholders, not in the int erests of the depositors. When tbe happy day arrives for the establishment of n national hank, where the bumble depositor will get * a pro rata spare the profits, if it ver does arrive, there will he small reason to grumble. Unfortunately that day is us far oil as universal peace nnd can only lie the result of a radical chnnge in human nature through educational influences, Whatever be the condition elsewhere, in Canada the prospects for a financially- prosperous 1914 are exceedingly bright. The prairies are in creasing the size of tbeir crops year by year; railroad building is going on apace and the tar ifl wall is being gradually brought down in spite of nil the efforts ol the federal government. In view of recent, speeches on both sides of the border, notably ol Premier Borden before the New York Lotus club, when the New York "Herald" reported him as Baying that "the Canadians had no objection to such a treaty, and that Canada felt thut she had done her fair shore toward it. He said he regrett od that it had not come to pass," it can hardly bc doubted that tbe severity ofl the tariff regulations will b-? abated considerably in tbe coming year. It Is in regard to Vancouver and Diitish Columbia generally tbnt most interest will be felt. What will their lot be during 1914? Although predictions nre not altogether safe, it may be said tbnt Vancouver and Brit ish Columbia should pass through tho most prosperous year in the hls- U.ry of the city and province. In the tlrst place it bas bcen announced that both the Canadian Northern and the Orand Trunk Pacific will be running trains across the continent before the year is ended. When one realises the stupendous work accomplished by one railroad, the C. P.R. it is difficult to estimate the impor- tnticc of having three transcontinental roads enter the province. New towns and cities will spring up; ag rlciiltural communities will ho made possible in /whnt is hardly better than a wilderness today and practically every industry will receive a de cided impetus. Mines wblch have necessarily lain Idle will be able to ship; new. mines will be discovered nnd altogether next year promises to be a memorable one. From accounts received of conditions in Eastern Cannda and other parts of the world, British Columbln bas not dono so badly during 1913. It must not be forgotten that the province is yet in its infancy and has never had its fair chance in the world. The days of infancy are pnssing rapidly, however, and the resiliency of youth will make it possible for British Columbia to bounce buck into the tinanciHl spotlight as thc world's most startling performer Bunset, Doc. 27th.
