No pre-emp Reductions to be made in Freight Rates Transportation Problem handled vigorously by Government The vigorous manner in which the present Government has dealt with tbe question of transportation, both freight, ezpresB and ocean, ls in striking contrast with the attitude of the late Laurier administration. For years there has been a western agitation-for lower freight rates, the West claiming discrimination. The old government, despite all its protestations of interest in Western Can ada, never made a move In the direction of coming to its aid in this matter. The Borden government was in power hut a few months when the old problem was referred by. them to tbe Railway Commission, with orders to make a thorough and searching investigation into the whole, question and that as speedily as possible, James Bicknell, K.C, of Toronto; H. W. Whitla, K.C, of Winnipeg, nnd Fred Morrison, Vegreville, Alta. were> appointed counsel to represent tbe government, and since then der their direction, the Railroad Commission lias' conducted tbe most searching inquiry ever instituted on the continent Into the subject of the freight rates. A LIBERAL TRIBUTE The Winnipeg "Free Press," the Liberal organ of the West, recently paid almost glowing tribute to thc conscientious and able manner in which the government counsel conducted the case. The inquiry is now closed, and tbe judgment ofj the board is expected shortly. Since the Borden Government) has assumed power there have been no fewer than three reduction) in express rates. Shortly alter tbe appointment of the new chairman, H. L. Drayton, K.C, he took up tbe question of the* high western express rates, and, after an investigation, ordered a reduction of no less! than 20 per cent. Last fall a big* reduction was made in express, charge*, for collections on bill of lading, and now a new order has been issued to become effective February first, reducing' express charges on packages of from one to seven pounds. THE REDUCTIONS ORDERF.D Thi' reductions apply in the case of through movements handled hy two or more express companies, that is to say, the reductions are in through rates. Where the through rate per 100 ths Is 00 cents, the following reductions made— in the present' minimum charge are 2 pounds. 5 cunts 'I pounds 1,1 cents 4* pounds 20 cents fi pounds 15 cents 6 anil 7 pounds 25 cents Whore the through rate per 100 lbs Is 91.00, reductions 111 the minimum charge are:— 2 pounds li cents 3 mu!

Tho Kfline was fast from thp start, Fernie being outplayed by the excellent work of the Crnnbrook men. The line-up wns as follows:-—Fernie— Messrs. Walters, Wallace, Roilgers, Thrasher, pascoe, Dunlap, Busland ('ranbrook—Messrs. Crowe, Sims, Connolly, Mcllwnine, Nordinan, Mcintosh, Bathie. Referree—M. Kastner of Fernie. The game was called at 845, Cran brock's centre gets the puck and starts up thc Ice with n rush and scores flrst goal for Cranhrook in the first half minute. The puck was a- gain faced and in the midst of brilliant combination work, Ilwaine scores for Crnnbrook again, and after another 15 minutes have gone by Mcllwaine again BCores. Fernie then woke up to the tact that they were uu against a hard proposition and got busy. ThrnBher scores for Fernie and after some faBt and furious play ing Dunlop puts the puck in the net for Fernie just at the close of first quarter. Cranbrook starts the second quarter with a rush, and after a succession of brilliant plays Mcintosh scores. Alter playing for sev eral minutes more Fernie scores and the form of the two teams can safely be said to bc championship form when Connolly sends the puck Into the net for another score for Cranbrook, Fernie comes right back and scores, three minutes of fighting and Nord- inan scores. Both tennis playing tbeir best, when Fernie gets another score. The third quarter opens up witb putting up some brilliant combinations and rushes, Nordman scoring for Cranhrook, and five minutes later Fernie scores. Cranbrook now start ln to win the game, and tiie pace is furious the boyB irom the "Banana Belt" playing rings around tbeir ap- ponents scoring three goals in succession. Tbe game was one of the best ever No. 5. played In the Coal City rink, and it whs especially notable for tbe brll Hunt rushes and combinations of the Cranbrook team Thc score was 10 to fi in favor of (.'ranbrook.

In furtben remarks he aaid: "that Hir Richard McBride was all powerful and that the Liberal party) had not a single representative in the provincial assembly, and "why is it? A few yeara ago the government claimed credit for the so-called . roaperoUH conditions.—Now its attitude was different, lt ia true tbat conditions were not ao prosperous, but that tbis was due to world-wide conditionn, but that the land policy of the government had a great deal to do with impairing the prosperity of the province..

In AlhcAta and Saskatchewan there had been development of ..he agricultural resources, hut in his province instead ol the land being brought under the plow, It had .een put under tbe yoke ol the spec ilator.

Box 84S The Future As seen by Sir Richard McBride We have been su accustomed to great developments in British Columbia that people take it as a mat- terof course that rach year should outstrip its predecessor in achievement. The immensity ol thc Province, its huge undeveloped resources and the opportunities offered enter priHe offer a vast scope for ever increased activity in the line of Industry; and ekery indication points to the year 1914 being a prosperous one for this portion of Canada. in this brief New Year message it is not necessary for me to indulge largely in statistics to indicate that the progress of the next twelve months mgy, to a certain extent, be gauged by. the experience ol the past Tiie mining industry is estimated to bave produced in 1913 $30,000,000 the value of the timber outaut Ib the largest on record, being no less tlinn $32,000,000; and in the produce ol the fisheries British Columbia it stands today as tbe foremost in the Provinco of Canada. These are the things we may 'well be proud of and at the same time the tide! of settlement of our lands lias been flowing with an ever increasing volumne, with a certainty that thc agricultural industry must take a place'in the growth of the Province. British Col umbia fruit has retained its high position for quality at the various exhibitions where it has been exhibited- and the efforts being made for the betterment of the agricultural in dustry by thc Government are bringing about' good results that must have a far-reaching effect. Never in the history of the Province has there been such actikity in railway building nnd improving transportation facilities, botli in the interior and at the sea coast. Witb the completion of the great systems already ill operation, more facilities are required for sea-borne traffic, nnd the growth of the lleets of Bten- incrs, both' for coastwise and deep sea trade, are evidence ol the Importance of British Solumliia aa»_ fac lor ln the \vo?ld's lommcrcc. In common with' tbe rest ol Britisli Columbia, Victoria is busily engaged preparing to cope with the increas in trade. The railway terminals oi the old SonghecB Reserve, the huge brenkwater and piers now in coursi of construction to give further accommodation for ships at the Outer Wharf, the extension of railways on the Island and the great naval dry- dock to be erected at Esquimau, aro all evidences of the fact that the Capital of tho Province is taking its part In tho great movement of progress and tho development of the Province. Undoubtedly the coming year will sec an Increased activity in all lines of commerce and industry' for this mostfavored Province. ®he IfrospBctcir, ©ranbrook, $♦ (£• ESTABLISHED 1895 Published Every Saturday Morning at Cranbrook, B.C.

Conservatism retains thc best in the pnst, but. renches out for the better in the future. Liberalism recklessly jumps, headfirst into the un known, and a digest of the speeches made by the speakers on Monday nlght, that such recklessness ia not needed by progressive people in want of sound and upbuilding legislation. In 1880 a Conservative Government completed the first transcontinentiil The Canadian Pacific railway. In 191. another Conservative Government will have completed two other transcontinental's—The Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern railways. Four thousand, miles were added to Canada's railway mileage. It has been a wonderful year in railway work, and the Conservative Government's progressive railway pol icy Is- bearing fruit. • • • e We read that the Guard of Honor at the opening of pnrliament carried the King's colors.

At the big Liberal meeting in tbe Auditorium on Monday night, the portrait of Sir Wilfrid Laurier rested on a chair, placed on the right of' the chairman, it was draped with tbe British ensign.

The Soldiers 'Bible' A True Story The following story, which is strictly true, teach ch the important lesson, that we may make good use of almost every object we see, and alao that Cards may be employed for other and for better purposes than mere gambling. The regiment was on the march from one part of the kingdom to another, and having arrived in tho city where this circumstance occurred on the Haturday, attended divine service there on Sunday. The Sergeant had commanded bis party to church, thc clergyman had ended the prayers, and taken his text All those who had bibles pulled them out to tind the text; hut Richard Middlcton, who wuh as attentive and devout as nny of them, hut who, unfortunately had neither hihlc nor pray.-r-l.u--k. put hts hand into his pocket, and pulled out a pack uf cards, which be spread out before him during the sermon; ilrst looking at one and then at another. The sergeant of the company, seeing what hu waa doing, came to him and aaid; "Hichard, put up your cards, tbis is no place for them." "Never mind," aaid the soldier, "yoi have no business with me here." When thc sermon waB over, and the service concluded, tbe soldiers repaired to the church yard, and were ordered by tbo commanding olbcer to fall in, which tbey accordingly did. A constable of the city then earns and took the soldier into custody. "Man, you are my prisoner," said he. "What have I done that I am to he your prisoner," said the soldier. "Vou have played a game of cards in church." "No," said the soldier, "I havo not played a game, for I have only looked at a pack." "No matter," said the con ■table, "you are my prisoner. "Well, where do you intend to take me?" said the soldier. "You must go before the Mayor," said the constable. Bo hefore the Mayor they went, but whon they cAme to his house, thoy found he was at dinner. After waiting awhile the Mayor came to them and said: "W0j|, constable, what is your business wltb me?" "Please your Worship," said thu soldier, "I have brought a soldier before you for playing at cards in church." "indeed," said tho Mayor. "Well, soldier, what have you to aay to this charge?" "Much, sir, J hope," answered ltd. Middleton, "It will be well for y0u if you have," said the Mayor; for if you cannot clear yourself, depend upon it, you will be punished most severely." "Your Worship," said the soldier, "I have been live weeks upon the march, and bave but little to subsist upon, and am without Hiblc. Prayer- booa or Almanac); my pack of cards serves for the purpose of all three f hope to satisfy your Worship of tbe purity of my intcnUons." Then the soldier pulled out of his pocket the pack of cards, which he spread out before tbe Mayor beginning with Lhe nee:*-* "When 1 ste the Ace," said he, "It puts me in mind that there is one God only; when I see the deuce it reminds mc of Lhe Father and the Son; and the tray puts mc in mind of the Father, Son and Holy '.bunt, Wben 1 seo thu 4 1 think of the 4 Kvangelinta, who wrote thc gospels, viz: Matthew, Mark, l,ukr aud John and the _ bring! to my recollection the B wise Virgins who trimmed their lamps—there were 1" hut 6 wer* foolish" nnd were shut out, When 1 aee the 6 I remember that in sn days the Lord intuit* heaven and earth; and then 7 reminds ino that on tbe 7th day (_od reeled from all the worl. which he bad mated m,.1 made, wherefore the Lord blessed iho neventh tiny and hallowed it.

Thus, your worship, there Is not a nu I lu the park, hut recntlB nome use-fir or instructive 1ohhon. "Well," snid Mio Mayor, "you have given a good description of all tha ranis but one, which Is tacking." "Which is that, mr?" said Klchard. "Thc knave," answered the Mayor. "Ob, 1 ran give your worship n good description of that too, if you will no. he angry." "No," said thr Mayor, "I will not, if you do not make me the knave. Thn soldier replied "The gmilest knave I know of is the constable that brought me here." "I do not know," said the Mayor, "thut he Is the greatest knave, hut I am sure that he In the greatest looi, "I Khali now," continued dm Hold I or, "show yom worship how i u_r the cards as nn almanac." "You Certainty nro u clever follow," said Hie Mayor, "hut 1 Hunk you will have a hard mailer to make thnt appear.
