MARCH 80th 1912 No: 18 A Gross Libel-Beware Board of Trade Getting Busy In reference to the letter which we are reproducing below, the attention of several Interested parties wns call ed to certain clnuaes In the letter evidently written with tho Intention of doing injury to certain property now lielng put (in the mnrkct aH well nH being lined as nn inference ngninst the possibilities of the district as a fruit centre, instead of which tho climate nnd soil Is distinctly favorable lor thin purpose as bus been proved to a certainty by several of tho fruit raisers of the district. Thin was Immediately brought to the attention of tho Uonril of Trede and an emergent meeting wnn called last Moii'lny end held in the Council cbnmbern for the purpose ot seeing what steps could be taken to annul the effects of no slanderous a statement. Steps were nt once taken to see If the man McMahen wns actually In the city on the date which thla letter wns supposed to have been written, nnd he wna found to have left Cranbrook on March 2nd. He evidently bad some of the paper of the Crnnhrook Hotel (for lt wan on their paner the letter wan written) and it has been clearly proved that he wrote the letter and signed same: but the question now arises did he compile the letter or waa it dictated to him? The Board of Trade are doing their utmost to tind out the particulars and up to going to preen nothing further wns known, ft is known thnt this letter is being sent broadcast throughout. Cnnada end its ellcct cannot be underestimated: THESE STATEMENTS AnE P-M.W nml MANY OF THE PIUIIT GROWERS HAVE PROVED IT. APPLE TREES ARK GROWN HERE WITH SUCCESS AND MANY OTHER FRUITS AND NO BETTER MARKET CAN BE FOUND KOR THE PRODUCE THAN WE H.AVE "N CRANBROOK. We give the letter as it Is being circulated. Mr. J. Roherty. Esq., Kenora, Ont. March, 10th.1912 In reply to your letter would nay tbat I have been offered fourty acres; twenty ncres clear of stumps, roota, one horse and buggy, one hundred chickens, thirty apple trees, a house nnl stable on It for J1600. This mnn bus lived here for eight yearn and has never sold nn apple, and could not raise enough to live on and he Is in as good a location as I know of, a creek running through it and all that nature provides, but frost or drought overcomes everything, would advise you to come and nee the situation before you Invent any nionoy. How arc things on the rond to Kenora?, Things are dead hero. Hoping to hear from you soon. Yours truly, E. R. McMahcn, Oranbrook, B. C. Those letterH are enclosed with other literature belonging to F. L. Harris, of Winnipeg; If this gentlemen can not verify tlu; literature he sends through the mail then he must be made to boor the consequences of his action. The statements contained are so misleading that anyone conversant with the district can easily, refute the suggestions made, and proof can easily be had of the quality ot the Fruits grown. It is to be hoped that the Board of Trade will push this thing to a finish and bring r the defaulter to time. Wc nlpo give what Mr. A. E. Watts of Wattsburg, has to say on the matter ub lie is a man who should know aa he has hnd considerable experience along these linos. (By A. B. Watts, Wattsburg B.C.) Mr. J. W. Robinson has called my attention to various publications which hnve been widely circulated in which the agricultural producing capacity of this country, aad especially the Cranbrook district, has been cruelly vilified by persons who evidently have axes to grind by Inducing settlers to choose their particular districts. This venomous and narrow minded policy will bit back like a boomerang. Every country and every district has its useless "ne'er do weels". barnicles and parasites, and the quotation of such people as authorities does not speak well of, nor does it assist the envious and venomous. During the past 15 years I have made extensive and successful experiments in showing the wonderful producing capacity of the soil, assisted by one of the best climates under the sun. I have results to show, and enquirers who wish to know tbe real truth should apply to me or tho President of the Agricultural Association ln each district, from whom can be obtained reliable data and facts and references given by actual experience, and the reasons explained why the Idle parasites have made a failure.

That the lumber mills of the Kootenay need protection In strongly evidenced from statistics which ehow that .100,000,000 feet of lumber linn boon dumped on tho prnlrlo mnrkots by United Htntos Lumbermen during the pnst 11 months, It Is easy to realize how adversely this province Is affected by this dumping.

This morning the remains of Fred. Calabauza, an Italian, were found among the debris. He was routed from his bed by several men, and started out, but evidently went back for some of his clothes nnd was thus caught In the flames. The origin of the fire is supposed to lie incendiary. One man was arrested on suspicion last night, but was let out this morn Ing, as thore wns no evidence against him. Blown to Pieces Maclood, Alto.

From the time that it was announced that the government would go to the country on its railway policy, Ita record, and other matters relating to the general welfare and prosperity of the province, it has been conceded that all government candidates would be elected.

Returns from tho recent provincial elections, Indicate that the McBride government enjoys the absolute confidence of the electors of British Columbia. A wise guy was Hon. Wm.

The Creston Review wired for a summary of Thursdays election, and received the following. --;'1j- "You i.a.o ,t»'«ivwi iiuiifciius, Only one Socialist elected, all the rest Conservatives, no summary needed. The return of the McBride government, means prosperity nnd a greater British Columbia. Wo would advise the opposition to secure H bench in tho centre of the legislative chamber; for the opposition lienches will be needed for seating the government members. F. .1.

Out of n en,petition which they hnd with 'i.i other towns and municipalities who were anxious to secure the company, they were successful in their efforts in Inducing the company to build their Immense J,000 barrel per day mill In that city. The fact ol the Qrand Trunk Pacific building a line tn run to tbe city, and the hastening along of the C. N. R. were titf inducements to tbe Ogllvie Co., making their decision; notwithstanding this, however, the publicity work ot the city should not be under estimated, Ihe work of committee* under this ties.! wero energetic In placing the advantages that would accrue to the company's business.

The keen interest taken In the plan- tine of the first post ol the CnnadlHn Highway by the residents ol the west coast of Vnncouver Island I* demonstrated by tho rivalry shown by the towns ol Albernl end Port Albernl, both of which are making strenuous efforts to have the post located within their limits. On Friday afternoon n strong delegation nf Albernl men, representing the residents of tho old towns nml district, waited upon President W ,1 Kerr and Secretary P. W Luce In New Westminster and urged upon those officers the claims ol their district. The speakers for the delegation were Mossrs. L. B. VanDecar, F. B. VanDocar, J. G. Cleary and F. R. Craig. These gentlemen supported their arguments for the planting of the post In tho old town by producing maps and diagrama tending to show that this would be to the advantage of tourists and travellers. Particular stress was laid on the fact that tbe old town of Albernl ls on tho main highway, and that a number of good roads radiate from thla point, while Port Albernl ls the terminus of the mod, two miles distant from Albernl. The attractive points which can be reached by rond from the old town of Albernl, Include Sproat Lake, where ■ Premier McBride, Attorney- aoneral Bowser and several well known business men bave camping homes; and the new National Park, a beauty i reserve containing 214 square miles thnt has been described aa eclipsing Yellowstone Park In na- 'Ural grandeur, Th" Cniinliun Highway from Nanal- ■io to Albernl in in first class ccndl- ion nt the present time, and tbls vlll be Btlll further Improved by the expenditure of 176,000, this sum having been provided for In the estimates of the deportment of public worka In making the run from Albernl to Nnnalmo on the way to Westminster Mr. Cleary covered tho ground In two hours and thirty minutes, without using skid chains. Ho says this Is not an unusual time for this Journey at thin season of tho year. Tho members of tho Canadian Highway Association In Port Albernl have been In correspondence with Prealdent Kerr regarding the plant- 'ng of this post, and thoy have adduced mnny argument* why tbls ceremony should bo performed in their ilty. It la not likely that they will be satisfied to carry on their cam- nalgn entlroly hy correspondence now that the advocates of old Albernl have made a special trip to the head liiartors of tho Canadian Highway Association for the purpose of urging tholr claims In person.

BRITISH COLUMBIA • A Personal Message To Cranbrook Citizens on "Anchoring Against Adversity" Did you ever stop to consider the Vast Opportunities that beckon you in CRANBROOK DISTRICT? Do you know that your climatic conditions are attracting capital for the purpose of exploiting your Garden, Truck and Fruit Lands? Have you ever realized that the good lands surrounding Cranbrook will raise vegetables, small fruits and apples tha t will compete with anything raised in British Columbia? If you do, why not grasp the oppoitunity and secure a garden, truck or fruit land home before it is too late? You will see the chance after outsiders have secured the choicest of your lands. I am placing before my clients, the Robinson- MacKenzie lands, subdivided inno five acre tracts. We have named our subdivision "Kootenay Orchards" and retailing same at from $75 to $150 per acre, on Easy Terms and Low Interest. How many men of your acquaintance save nothing—Spending every cent they make for foolish pleasures or indulgences. "Everybody's happy while the sun shines" and life to these is a rose strewn pathway with not a care or sorrow in sight. The world is their oyster and they reckon not on the morrow, Sooner or later the chilling winds of ADVERSITY and hard times stares them in the face. Help is being laid oft in ihe factory, Ihe mills reduce their forces, mines shut down or pinch out., the office force is cut down, and salaries are lowered to - meet reduced expenses. Sometimes sickness comes to the*head of the household and he who is usually so vigorous and jovial is pinned down for weeks to a bed of pain and his family for the first time feel keenly the gaunt fingers of want clutching them. These are instances of afflictions of adversity and the moral that adorns the tale is:—Get the Saving Habit and Learn to Save for a Definite Purpose. The best way I know of to anchor against the storms of FINANCIAL ADVERSITY is to "Save For a Home" that will produce an income and which will at the same time afford a safe and pleasant shelter for your family. After all, it is not until a man owns the ground he stands upon and looks from his doorstep to the shadowed plumage of his Fruit Trees and plunges a spade in the ground, that he knows the true meaning of a HOME. The best place I know of to get such a home is in the Cranbrook District-KOOTENAY ORCHARDS where they can grow Money-making Crops that will surprize the world. "KOOTENAY ORCHARDS" is one of the Best Fruit Land Tracts in the CRANBROOK DISTRICT and is well located. The Prices I am asking for "KOOTENAY ORCHARDS" are at present within the reach of every person desiring a home amid pleasant surround- ings, and terms are the same to everybody, oni) $10, Cash and Sio. per month, or 33 cents per day. Interest 5 per cent. Our Contract provides that in case ol sickness or inability to make your payments through adverse circumstances, same will be suspended. I Believe that CRANBROOK is destined to become the GARDEN SPOT of the East Kootenay and the Commercial Center of a Vast Country whose Fruit Producing Capabilities are just beginning to be realized. This Property is SF.LLING FAST to the people on the prairies and if you desire a Five-acre Home in "KOOFKNAY ORCHARDS" act to-day as to-morrow may be to late. Ask R. E. BEATTIE, of the Beattie- Murphy Company, What he think of "KOOTENAY ORCHARDS".

R. G. Thompson 403 McArthur Bldg., Winnipeg °r J. W. Robinson of CRANBROOK-"The Home of the Big Red Juicy Apple" Cranbrook District Growing Fruit and Agricultural Possibilities. Strong Truths Worth Knowing. (By Geo. H. ABhworth. If the presence of home-seekers and real estate agents from tbe prairies ia any criterlan, Kaat Kootenay Ib about to experience a boom in fruit and agricultural lands. It is no exaggeration to say tbat these visitors have been more numerous during tbe past month tban during the whole of any previous year. Although there nre hundreds of thousands of acres of land adjacent to the Crow's Neat Pass branch ol the C.P.R.., adapted for fruit growing and general agriculture, no part of British Columbia has been brought lew to tbe notice of the public than thla, with the exception of the Creston dlatrlct, which has established a reputation for tbe quality of It's fruit second to none in the province, which is equivalent to saying "In tbe world." Everything points, however to a change In this respect, and many enquiries are now being made by land seekers of all descriptions, fruit growers, sheep and stock men, not to mention the proposed ostrich farm at Wardner. Should the latter prove successful, a new Industry probably undreamt of by any previous settler or resident, will be added to the already long list of occupations to be followed by the new comer. Mr. Otto Becker, a German gentleman who has taken up land for tbls purpose, has had experience of the business ln the mountains of his native country, and ls, with the fullest confidence, Inveating a considerable amount of capital in preparing his land for the commencement of operations. Asked by the writer if the birds would he able to withstand the. winter in this climate, he replied that he had raised them where the temperature sometimes dropped to 10 degrees below zero, and tbat, during the coldest spells, they would leave their houses of their own accord and spend much of their time in ebe open •ir. air. Becker also volunteered the information tbat, the colder the climate the better the quality ol tbe feathers was, and also, that he expected to be able to raise all the necessary feed. An account of the development and prospects of the Cranbrook district was given In our January Issue, and It may be of interest to note the development which ls taking place In other parts of East Kootenay. The Canadian Pacific Railway Co., who have large holdings, arc fully alive to future probabilities and aro introducing the "ready made farm" proposition which has proved so successful In Alberta. At Jaflray they now have prepared twelve blocks n ten acres each ready for market, two acres in each block being stumped and plowed ready for planting. During the coming season, 180 additional ln the vicinity of Wardner will be prepared in the same way, and will be in condition nl settlement by the fall of the present year. This is only part of the company, aud every year will probably see a groater extension thn beginning of operations on the along theso lines. Between Klko, on tbe Crow's Nest Pass Branch, ami the international Boundary is (1 large tract of country In which grent changea nre bound to take place within the next few years, all classes of lniiil being lepresentcd. ranging from low hay lands near tlic banks of the Kootenay river, to the open park-like Innd tu be found on many of tbe higher benches. Many small ranches have been established for years, but only recently hns orchard planting l,ecn entered Into on anything like n Inrgc srale. Probably tho largest scheme Is that of the Frost Investment Co., which, whe completed will bring 400 acres under Irrigation: up to the present time about 60 acres have linen planted to apples trees now in their second year, and are In a flourishing condition. In the Crnnhrook district, tbe Robinson-McKenzie Lumber Co.. have sub-divided between 1300 and 1400 acres which has been logged over, and are now placing on the market in live acrea lots. This property is like ly, ln the near future, to become ono of the show places of the district. Some small portions have already been planted and a visit by the writer this week showed the young orchards of two and three year's standing to be all that could be wished, there being practically no signs of winter killing in spite of the unusually trying season, and a remarkable showing of fruit spurs, The construction of tho Spokane International Railwny from Yahk to Klngsgate has opened up "Glenlllly Valley" containing some ol tho finest fruit lands In tlip province, and during the past two years about 225 acres havo been prepared tor planting about 50 acrcB are already planted, and most of the remnlndcr will be planted this spring. Tbe majority o! the settlers as yet In this valley are steadily If slowly, improving their holdings, nnd continuous progress may be looked for. This winter has heen tho most trying one for the fruit Industry that has been experienced ln Kast Kootenay for sevoral years: severe frosts occurred early in November, and penetrated deeply liefore the mow came, followed by more than ordlnarilly mild weather during the tatter part of Januory and the wbole of Febru nry. With n view to discovering If any damage had lieen doue to the young orchards, the writer this week paid a visit to several, but, so far ns could be seen, all tile trees were in l'uoiI shape. On the ranch of Mr. H. H. McClure, about three miles from Cranbrook, about 500 trees have gone through their second winter, and not o sign nt killing enn be seen. Mr. McClure, by the way, showed what he could do In the way of raising roots, by staging at the last fall fair, three Swede turnips averaging close ,m twenty pounds each, and perfect in shape and quality. In order to fully appreciate the ben- fits derived Irom the generous sup* port given by our Provincial government m the way or appropriations foi agricultural purposes and the building irf new roads, one requires to live in a lumberiug and mining district during the period o* it's transition from these conditions to that ot a farming country. It is apt to bo most discouraging to the promoters of Farmers Institutes and similar meetings for which the government supply the best experts obtainable (ree of charge, to lind the attendance nt many of them so meager Hint u hardly seems worth while holding them, but ll oven only Iml! u dozen are present, the Influence makes itself felt, possibly slowly, but none the less, surely. Tbe same thing applies to our agricultural fairs; the lirst one organized in any new district is almost sure to prove disappointing to the promoters, who often are themselves old exhibitors j at established shows, but there ls a ' fnsrinatioii in watching the steady i Improvement, year after year, which is lacking in the oldor shows, or at least not so evident. Oo into a part | of the province which is practically devoted to lumbering only, and oak any man who keeps poultry what breed ho keeps, and the answer In almost every case will be "just chickens" The same thing applies to hogs dairy stock, horses and seeds. The average man who stnrtB in a am«U way. stnrts with "just pigs" Just horses," but us he learns from the lectures of experts, and the reading of farm literature, he sees the superior quality ot produce shown by hla neighbor st the annual show, the same man will generally be found in tbe course of a year or two, an enthusiast on the merits ot his favorite breed, The result Is, tbat from tho state in which none but mongrels In any branch of the farming industry are in evidence, we Ond an Improvement every year, and even the Indian's stock begins to show blood.

A new phase of the nation-wide eiodus Irom the United States, th* effect of which nre now being felt with daily increasing force in Canada Is pointedly shown up in the current Issue of Winnipeg Once-a-Week, under the caption, "Still Trekking Northward—nnd Why." It has been shown according to recent press dispatches, that no less tban 75,000 American farmers came to Western Canada between July 1910 and July 1911, and hundreds of thousands before that time, this great army of home seekers bringing with them about 81,000 per capita. "No wonder," says tba correspondent, "There Is grave concern now felt ln American commercial centres in view of this situation, and thnt United States officials are engaged in a desperate search (or arguments that might dissuade their fellow country men from a well- formed purpose," The correspondent asserts however, that there is a serious flaw in this method of procedure on the part of the United States authorities, Inasmuch as while their attention is being concentrated so vigorously upon thlB great publicity campaign, designed to advertise the advan tages and opportunities open in tb* stories, another powerful array of forces is tb he found engaged with equal determination In a campaign of a different sort—"a rather loud and blatant campaign, which has raised serious question in the minds of many Americans as to whether, after all, life Is not too short to be spent In Its entirety under guard, and surrounded by din and tumult and the alarms of demagogues and agitators" The correspondent then takes up the notorious dynamite conspiracy recently unearthed as a result of ths McNamara trial at Los Angeles, aad which had ramifications In all ths great Industrial centres of ths United States. Under these conditions lt is easily understood why large numbers of thoughtful American* are carefully considering the question whether Uf* snd property are not Just a bit mors secure under the guarantees and sals- guards of the Dominion government. However, were these attacks upon the established order ol organised society merely tbe output of the loafer and ihe street corner agitator, peace- loving Americans would feel no special cause for alarm, tbe case take* nn an entirely different aspect, however, when men holding positions of power nnl leadership In public life assume the role nf demagogues aad conduct a systematic campaign ot social and political upheaval year nfter year—and especially every fourth year. "It la in view of an approaching national election," concludes the correspondent, "that many (nreslghted Americans today are regarding It espedlent to turn their feces northward; snd from present Indication* the movement during ths coming season appears likely to break nil records" As If In confirmation nl these statements, J. S. Dennis, head nf the Natural Resources department ol the C. P. R. has Just announced that from careful estimates he looks tn see 200,000 Americans nettle in Western Canada In 1911.

"The preacher on Sunday morning next will be found posted up on the board outside the church." Why not take him Into the picture show. Mr. Percy McKee and Mr. Stanley Todhunter spent Sunday In Blko, the writer passed them gating wistfully in at the closed pool room windows. The Inhabitants of that city on the Blk will get used to them bye and bye, and the dogs will not howl for fright, nor the cows take to the bush as tbe auto Passes. I hope Mr. Kerr will not exceed the speed limit, at least on the crowded streets ol Blko, nor frighten the Mam of the water wagon, as a barrel] lost ls a great loss to the revenue. Tbe ladles auxiliary who are working in behalf of the proposed Presbyterian church met in Mrs. A. Birnle's home on Thursday last. Work was planned, and schemes furthered ln th* Interest of the church. A good and profitable way ol advertising Is get a line into the Blko notes, everybody ln Blko and district read them. The writer has letters of appreciation (rom several quarter*. Ask the writer to call. Blko Notes Far mors people seemed to be on the Blko streets last Sunday. Ths reason wa* obvioua.

On Sunday last a special entertainment was given. One scene shown being entitled "A Battle In the Clouds." The ministers can scarcely Interfere with the game, ae a good deal of "shy piloting" was certainly going on, A gentleman In Blko Is so endowed with sporting Instincts that the little warblers that chirp and perch around our doors fntl victims to bis rids. His heart Is evidently out of tune with nature and to such the chirp of the sparrow Is ss obnoxious as th* howling ol the cats at night, Mr. Davidson, the Socialist candidate addressed a meeting in Herts'* hall on Friday evening last.

Wc often wondered at the expression "I can see through you." Thanks to the celebrated German Doctor, however, the explanation is clear. An ebullient pnrngrapher, In an enstern daily, deplores what he is pleased to designate "The Decline of Manners." His article, apparently, hns special reference to the decreasing courtesy between the sexes. In the majority of cases, women have only themselves to blame for this regrettable characteristic of modern life. By their mirth-provoking attempts to imitate men, they merely succeed in presenting a grotesque caricature. Regarding the subject Irom a purely philosophical viewpoint, nun exhibit a chivalroiiB attitude townrda women mainly because of their diametrically opposites attributes and comparatively physical weakness. The moment a women deserts her womanly domestic sphere, shirks the sublime blessing of motherhood and forsakes true feminine modesty nnd compassionate ten derness; she relinquishes all legitl mate claim to the privilege of man's protection, admiration, assistance and respect. The militant screaming sisterhood, styling themselves "ar dent suffrngists enthusiasts," who (when not engnged In smashing plato glass windows! are endeavoring to exploit their quixotic "Eqiiil righta" scheme, are missing the sweetness of life, and leading a veritable "forloin hope", In their attempt to "make men net gnllnntly towards members of my sex," ns one of those dear la dies Ingeniously remnrked ln her speech Inst week.
