Vol. 14. CRANBROOK, B.C., SATURDAY, OCTOBER '24, WOS. No. 4.3, Spellbinders at Wardner Liberals encounter another Frost at the Mill City A mooting was held at. tin- Library Hall un Wednesday ovoning in the in torests ni the Liberal party, the 8peaKora being Messrs. A. It. Macdon aid mid A. Ban field, both uf Oran brook. The chair wus occupied by tl, w. Donahoe, There was a fair at tendance, hut very little enthusiasm shown, the remarks of tho speakers being recoived In stolid silence throughout. Mr. Ban Ho Id pointed out that tho Liberal government had never sold or transferred nny timber tracts es cept to the highest bidder; that thc Liberals had always worked towards the lowering of the tariffs, contrary to the policy of the Conservatives, who increased the cost of living by maintaining high tariffs. Mu thon took up in turn the Fair Wage Clause nnd Workmen's Accident Clause, Showing the protection which the workingman now enjoyed and which wns entirely due to the pater nai care of the Liberal government. The immigration question wai dwelt upon at some length, Mr. Bn-n- field endeavoring to show that it was policy to encourage Japanese immigration to some extent for the pre sent at least, in order to secure thu benefit of thc trade which Japan was building up since the war. The Lemieux act. was then dealt with, showing the beneficial offect in the settlement of labor disputes, the credit of which, of course, was due to the Liberal government. Mr. linntield closed his remarks with a few time honored platitudes about empire building, added lustre, etc., etc., calling upon all to vote foi the return of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his adherents. Thc silence which foi lowed could almost be felt. Mr. Maedonald was then introduced hy the chairman and gave a somewhat pleasing address, dealing prin cipully, however, in ancient history in the vicinity of 1896 through almost, the whole of his remarks, Thc post otfice department was first dealt witli showing that under the Liberal administration there was now n surplus of almost 11,000,000 yearly in plaee of a deficit of three quarters of a million yearly under the Conservn- tlve regime. A glowing picture ol the reduced postage rates and the increased number of post offices was then followed by a somewhat desultory fire at the timber industry, im- mignt,tion, trade policies, with a somewhat intricate resume on timber grants in which acres seem to have got tangled up with square miles ; great stress being laid, however, on the fnct that no timber tracts or privileges were ever sold hy the Liberal government unless to the highest bidder. The Crow's Nest I'ass Railway scandal was then taken up and by some ingenious arithmetic process it appeared that the Dominion govern ment after giving nothing in the shape of a laud grant to the promoters, came ont with a considerable asset in tbe shape nf B. C, lands, the amount of which however, was not clearly defined. The Liberals had been chargod with graft and improper expenditure of the country's funds. There was not. time now to go into figures but It could be shown conclusively that the am ount of money "Improperly" spent would not exceed the proportion oi $1.25 to $900, a very good showing indeed for the amount handled. As to the increased expenditure, about which the opposition raised sueh an uproar it was Indicative of the pro gress being made by the country; it was not the policy of good govern munt to hoard money in its colters nnd allow the industries and public institutions of the country to remain at a standstill merely lor the purpose of showing a surplus. It was lo be remembered that scan dais had to be unearthed and charg ed at the opening of a campaign that while the Liberals wore not all angels they were, on tho whole, a pretty good sort, and anyone wishing to se euro the best interests of lhe country etc., would vote for Sir Wilfrid I nur ier and those pledged to support bis government. Tho moat enthusiastic portion ol the meeting appeared to be the sing Ing nf the National Anthem, which thoroughly aroused all present. THE BIG S EVEN How did the Liberal Members from B.G.Vote in Dominion House Alight against Tyrants TheStruggleTransfered to the Constituencies An Honest Government Public sentiment has clearly ranged itself on the side of the Consorvntlvo party. The party itself is undivided. It is led by a man of commanding ability, whose personal ability and seasc of public honor have never in vited suspicion. Kor the purposes ol tbe present election, in whieh the su preme issue turns on the question ol honest govermmnL of thu country's affairs, no man could establish a moro striking contrast between tlie disgraceful episodes of the past and the possibilities or the future than Robert 1,. Borden. The people of Canada know that a government led hy Mr, Borden will be an honest gov eminent. That is the real inspiration of the tremendous popular en tlmsinsm which is manifesting itself from one end of ilie country to tlie other on behalf of the Conservative party. A Trip to Ottawa The general elections will bo held on October Uii. November 12 will see nn election In Kootenay ami Vale Cflirihoo. Then Martin Burrell and A. S. Goodeve will make a nice little trip to the Dominion capital. Was there a single amendment or motion made or voted for by the Big Seven of this province that was in the interest of British Columbia? On Mr. Lemieux1 s Concilliution bill Mr. Borden moved that the measure be referred to a select committee, so that train men, and other working men might have a hearing and suggest amendments. Motion was rejected by a straight Liberal vote. Mr. J. B. Armstrong, Conservative, moved that the Concilliution bill be amended so that railway employers md employees in respect of whom other provision had been made would he exempt from its provisions. Motion rejected by straight party vote. January llth, UI07, Mr. Borden moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the matter of legislation to prevent strikes and lock outs and other labor troubles. Motion killed by an iyiiend- tnent, adopted on n party votej recorded in Hansard, page 3690. .January 2Kth, motion by Mr. Borden, Conservative, that Canada should not enter into any treaty depriving herself of the control of her own immigration. Rejected by a straight purty vote; recorded in Hansard, page 2152. Liberal members from this province voted against every measure that was of vital interest to the working men of this province, If elected Mr. Smith Curtis would have to support the Laurier machine in their efforts in favor of corporations and against ihe working men. WARDNER NOTES Mr. Lund returned from Marysville on Saturday. Mrs. Ceo. Hajward has been quite ill this last week. Mrs. Johnson of Rossland, is visiting her sister Mrs. Helgeson. Miss Lucy Ship, ..re is spending a tew da,ys with Cranbraoa friends. Born On October llth, to Mr. nnd Mrs. L. LaChance, a sou. Miss Bawtlnholmer and Miss Violet McLeod were (.'ranbrook visitors on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Blatchford have moved into the cottage recently vacated by Mrs. Miller. The ladies of thc Presbyterian church are preparing for a social to bu lield on thu 27th inst. Mr. Dormer has been obliged to return to the Crnnbrook hospital having suffered a relapse. A dance was held in the Library hail on Friday night and was thoroughly enjoyed hy n(ll present. Mr. Wilson, superintendent of Presbyterian missions, was iu Wardner on, Wednesday. The usual Friday afternoon pro- mam was rendered by the school children last week and the young people acquitted themselves very creditably. The afternoon wound up with an old fashioned spelling match, in which MiiBter Alden Curtis distin iniished himself by "spelling down" tho. rest of the school. Cost of Grand Trunk In 1903, Laurier and his supporters on the floor of the bouse gavo the estimated cost of the G.T.P, ut *13,- ono.noo. One week later Chas. Hays, vice- president of the G.T, P. publicly stated at a Portland Hoard of Trade meeting, that the road would cost $160,000,000, and that the Canadian govornmont would supply the money for the construction of the road. It Is for tlie people of Canada to decide which of these statements was correct. Government Defeats Itself. Elections are proverbially uncertain hut never in the history of Canada have the chances of an opposition appeared as bright, aud encouraging as they ure today. At no period in her career has Canada hud a weaker government, a government with so little to commend it und so much to explain and defend, There is a political proverb to the effect thut an opposition never defeats a government hut that n government invariably defeats itself. Present conditions favor the fulfillment of thi* prophecy wholly apart from the merits of the opposition, whose vigor and splendid lighting qualities are all that could be desired to take advantage of the pitiable weakness of the government. The Elections There remains hut one working day if one of the most hotly contested political campaigns ever waged in Canada. Both sides hn-ve fought with exceptional vigor. But there has been this essential difference, that while the campaign on behalf of the government has heen fought chielly with machine methods and machine agencies, the rank and file of the party taking an indifferent interest, the Conservative light has been a spontaneous outburst nf popular energy and enthusiasm. o Ut Richurd Cartwright inuda an ex u'liimt remark in Ins Toronto speed when he declared thai thu long session* nt parliament are nut goud (or the coun- iry. lie might, have added Unit the conduct which makes the session*! long i* i-veii worse. Whut was Ihe muse of tin eight mini tlm Houston this year'/ Tho answer is one ivunt—gi'iilt. Much Uun wits lost liei-iiu.se the min ist ers. feiiniifc exposure, refused to bring down publit documents, und opposed Investigation, it wus a tremendous battle that the opposition had to wage for the right of tha ru- presenl utiles of the people lo know how 1 lie alia it's of the Count rv ure inn linked. And when lhe h-jht was over the lid hud been lifted hut u little. Vet, what was learned was hud enough. It wns discovered lhat I lansuiiioiis lit Ottawa are subjected to the ruke-otT an. thut the esiute ,if tho country is distributed among politicians for practically nothing. The people found thut dishonest-, is practised, and that the treasury is rob ted. When the truth was coining out tm ,'ovi-rnineul wus in n stute of terror, li A'tts alarmed lest the country should rlsi igainst it uml sweep it from ollice, I ... fear Unit was experienced oi'od.t i 11i Ayleswurlli hill. Here was a second contributing cause to the prolongation oi tlie session. The Avlcsworih hill wns ull attempt by tne governmenl io seize the rliftit to ma id] m late the franchise df i people, and to coerce the voters hy wuy d a marked Imliol. It was me ministerial cry to lhe complaints witli respect to no (crafting. Tlie government said: ' lu are disposed to vote against us heoausi you do not trust us. WO will heat vo through the voters' lists which we will prepare, and wo will cripple public opinion with our murked ballot.A Ultimately the governmenl found it hud to drop Its monstrous proposition or appe.il to the electors forthwith, und ns il was afraid oi the people it eupitulaleil and the hill was abandoned. If ihe country has today a rough or elementary idea of ihe dishonesty that flourishes at Ottawa it owes thut fuel to the loyalty with which the Conservatives in parliament fotlghl against secrecy. If the country is able lo express its opinions upon public mat tors without (he handicaps which the Laurier government proposed to npply, this situation is applied to the vigorous uud successful manner in which Ml*, llorden and his colleagues battled for the groat principle of public liberty. Tho light took time; but It was worth all it cosi. That struggle Is now transferred from the floor of parliament to lhe constituencies. Wo have before us today the politicians who deny parliament the right to know how the money is spent and how the public property is distributed, We have before us ministers who refused to produce the public documents, and olTer obstruction to the enquiries whloh the people are entitled Id muke. We have before us tno men wh. l*Itiltn the nyiu to manipulate our franchise and so deprive us of the secret ballot. These politicians have not repented rhoy do not lell us that the wrongs ol which they have been guilty will not he repeated. They ure prepured to assist in their improper conduct and in their hospitality to free rule. Fr Hire these gentlemen must be driven. When they nave gone the grafting will go with them, and our parliament will be able to conduct its business with that degree of celerity for which Sir Richard calls, fo SubscriLers and Non-Subscribers The people of Crnnbrooli! nnil Kootenny ilisirict are beginning to roallze the worth of tlie Prospector. As a proof of this we are ever receiving requests from all over the district to become subscribers.

C, on Tuesday, October 20th, A. i>., num. We, the grand jurors of our Sovcr eign Lord the King humbly present as follows: We have visited the provincial lockup, the St. Kugene hospital conduct- ed by the Sisters of Oha-rlty, and the City Public School, and beg to make the following recommendations: The provincial lock-up is a small frame building oi Inadequate capacity for the present needs of this dis trict, ami is by reason of its con struction a veritable death trap, in this connection we understand that steps have already heen taken toward having a district goal established here; wc would feel obliged therefore if your lordship would urge on the proper authorities the necessity of having this undei taken with as little delay as possible n(nd we would recommend strongly that a fire proo: building of proper dimension-; be er ected forthwith. The hospital is being well conducted, having proper sanitary require ments, and every appearance of clean liness. We find an unusual number of typhoid patients therein, from outside points, and wc would earnestly re commend that the attention of the provincial board of-health be called to the necessity of having a local officer, prefernbly a physician, appointed with ample power to cope with this or a,ny other epidemic in its in cipiency, employing such means as he may deem expedient even to the ex tent of closing habitations, if neces sary, as it is only along these lines that the present condition of affairs can be remedied. The Public School we Und is altogether too small for the number of children in attendance: for example the number on the roll is 285, the average attendance is 260, while there is accommodation for only 240; ad ditions have been made, and the old government ofiices are being used nnd It is of the utmost importance that a new building with modern appointments and with ■-■ capacity commen surate with the growing needs of this district be erected, we would therefore respectfully requests your lordship to call the attention of the proper authorities tn this much pressing need. Permit us to congratulate your lordship on the absence of crime in this district as evidenced by no in dictment being presented to us, and to suggest that sittings of this court be held here four times a year as ut Rossland and Nelson, as a great deal of litigation originates here, that heretofore had to be tried at Kernie or Nelson and we understand there is already a great deal of pending litigation that would come before this court. In conclusion we thank your lord- hip for the kind words you were good enough to say regarding our listrict and humbly submit this our indictment. JAMES RYAN. Foreman.

Twenty Seats in Quebec A note of confidence ls reflected in the despatches from Quebec, affirming ns it does, the unity and aggressiveness of the Quebec Conservatives and this will carry no small amount oi uneasiness Into the Quebec Liberal camp. At least 20 seats are assured to the Conservative party in Quebec. Even this minimum of seats in the Conservative column would not begin to offset the most cautious forecasts of tho Conservative majority in On tario, which it is confidently believed will not he lesB than 4fi and possibly as high as 50, Wiped of the Political Map The outlook is altogether favorable for ai splendid victory for the Conservative party. From every province in the Dominion come reports that the government is fighting with its back against the wall. Every day adds to thc Conservative strtn;th. Ontario, it is conceded, will do as much for R. L. Borden as it did for Sir James Whitney a few months ago when the Liberal party was practically wiped ofl the face of the political map. The desperate stand made by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his leading lieutenants in Ontario does not appear to have given the government the smallest ray of hope. It has in ftf^t, accentuated the scandal issue, that issue which more than anv other issue the Laurier government fears. This much is certain that THK BEST SIR WILFRID LAURIER CAN HOPE TO DO IN QUEBEC WILL BE MORK THAN OFFSET BY THE WORST THAT R. L. BORDEN WILL DO IN ONTARIO.

Where is their Report ? Ignore Specifications, An Excessive Allowance made Two Fires at Cranbrook last Monday night On Monday night t\\ fire was discovered in the basement of the C.P.R. depot, which for some time threatened the destruction of the building. The fire brigade" responded quickly and soon had three streams of water playing on the tire, which was con ftned to the basement. The cause of the fire is attributed to defects in the heating apparatus. The damage will not amount to over $100. A SECOND BLAZE. While fighting the depot lire, a second alarm wus rung for a fire in the restricted distiict. The building was completely destroyed, the efforts o! tlie fire brigade being confined to the saving of the adjoining buildings. Crnnbrook is to be congratulated on the efficiency of the fire department, for it is second to none in the province.

Thus much for a few of its many capabilities -n times oi peace. In time of wur it could no doubt be of invaluable service as a gunboat, a blockade runner, or a coal tender.

OCTOBER 84, 1908 The oven doea the baking, the fire-box controls the oven heat, and the grates hold the coal or wood that produces the heat, so THE GRATES are important. \\ Double \\Duplex Grates "Sask-alta" Double Duplex Orates are made in four pieces, each grate shaken separately. Ashes over one grate can be shaken without wasting good fuel over other grate. No poking necessary, thereby saving fuel. Dampers at both ends of fire-box secure perfect drafts.
