Cranbrook District A Region Hich in Minerals, Agriculture And Forest Resources Cranbrook district practically contains every Variety Of mineral wealth i bat is known to exist in North Am erica. The great wealth of the dis trict has beon known for yenrs und in the early days of placer minim; millions iu gold, was taken out, but 'ack oi transportation and means ol communication north und south through the district have retarded the development of the district. Notwithstanding tho (MBad vantages undor which the district has labored during the past few years, mining opera tions have been carried on successful ly on a Ittl'gQ scale at .Moyie und at Kimberley, and with the ore, now in sight, the output is rapidly increasing. Besides, gold, copper and silver lead Southern Kootenuy possesses the largest coal deposits on the American continent which already have a world wide reputation, both on account of quality and the quantity of coal now being extracted. Placer mining continues to be vigorously prosecuted at Wild Horse Creek, Perry Creek and Ball river, and with iu0st gratifying results and practical mining men antl capitalists are taking hold of this branch of mining us an unsurpassed Held for investment. The lumber industry is n great and growing one. There are Inrge sawmills located throughout the district, and the annual output of lumber is large and continually Increasing. Many millions of tics ure cut nnnunl- l.v. The Kootenuy valley is 0nc of the must favored in British Columbia, having a due climnte, gooh soil, established fruit farms and largo nrens of , igrlcultural lands. Thc atmosphere ,s clear und dry, tho snow fall in winter light, with no sudden and extreme climatic conditions. Established mines, and promising prospects, excellent waterways and water powor are found in this district. Ono of the resources in the southeastern portion of the district that is now awaiting development, are the extensive coal and oil areas of the Flathead valley. A railway has been constructed trom McGlllvrny, on the ('row's Nest railway, to n largo deposit of coal on the head of the Flathead river. A charter is being applied for to extend this roud to the International boundary. The Kootenuy river which rises in the northern port iun of the district to the international boundary. The Kootenay drains an area of about rive thousand square miles. Many of its creeks und tributaries a,re rich n gold bearing grand deposits. No othev valley in British Columbia is offering sucb unsurpassed Inducements to settlers In search of u farm, thc stockman seeking a ranch, the fruit grower iu want of an orchard, thc miner in quest of guld or the precious metals, the lumberman, the business man or the capitalist, whether large or small, who seeks investment for his money. Cranbrook is the principal city in the Kootenay valley, and is the railway centre of the district. It has numerous fine hotels, stores and -.■hurdles, und is the mining, agricultural and commercial centre of southeast Kootenuy.

A committee of the school trustees being present, on motion, was permitted to address the council un the matter of providing a suitable school building for Crunbrook. The following letter wus then read by .1, A, Harvey, and plans were presented by J. G. McCallum. Crunbrook, B.C., Oct. 2t\, 1908. To the Muyor and Council of the city of Cranbrook.: Dear Sirs. We, tho members of the school biiu.nl for the city of Cranbrook, wish to call your attention to the fact that the question of building u new Bchnol for the city of Crnnbrook is now u pressing mutter and will have to bo taken up next year. While it is our duty to supply a school building, tho council has to supply tbe money, and we, ut this early date, wish to Ia,y the facts before you for the purpose of giving you ample time to consider before the beginning of the yen-r, At the present time our school population has outgrown the present building and we are proposing now, with the permission of tbe government authorities und uf the council, If that permission is necessary, to place one clnss in the basement of tbe government building until sucb time as a new building is completed, We have at tho present time six teachers in the public school nnd every room is occupied, Wc huve un entrance class, wbo ure now able to do high school work, but as we have not the necessnry number to entitle us to a high school, we ure proposing to engage another teacher and do advance work, in order to hold the pupils together, as, without question, we will have a sufficient number next year to entitle as to a high school, and as the education of the children is n most important inutUr, we think every stop necessary Bhould bo taken to ensure proper accommodation and u sufficient number of teachers. When we obtain tins new teacher, we nre proposing us stated, to do advance work with a class in the government building. The conditions at the present time in the public school are ns follows: DIVISION I. Enrollment 24 Average attendance ... 22 Seating capacity 2ti DIVISION 11.

When tbe cold win ilirr sets iu the attendance will no doubt decrease somewhat, when the congested state of tho room will pro bably bo relieved until next spring. From tho above figures you will see thut at tbe present time our total en rollment is 27i», average nttendnnco 260, with ii seating capacity ot 267. Undor normal conditions, therefore, almost every seat is tilled, and Judging from the increase in the last two years, by this time next year, the pupils will be laruely in excess of our seating capacity. These figures, of course, arc in addition to tbe class we propose to have meet in the base ment of the government building. You will see, tlieref,,re, that it will be absolutely necessnry tn take up the matter of building next year and we believe thnt a ten roomed school will 1)0 an absolute necessity, as we will occuppy at least, nine ol these rooms right uway. So fur as we have been abb to tind out from H cursory ostfmato, it will take upwards of $85,000 lo build und equip a school of the capacity required. We would be iglnd to have you discuss this matter Yours truly. .1. A. Harvey .1. G, McCullmn ti. T, Rogers. Since writing the above we have secured a copy of the plan adoptod by the Kernie school board for an eight room? I school in the city of Pernio. The contract bus heen lot, the eon tract price being $86,000. In view of that fact, we believe our estimate of $36,000 for a ten roomed school wr,uld be very much below what it would cost, and we believe now, the cost would be upwards at least of $46,000. The mutter is urgent and we would ask the council to give it their early attention with a view of submitting a by-law, it that is necessary, to authorise proceeding with tho construction of the building tiext yen,r. We think plans und specifications ought to be got out at as early a, date as possible and arrangements mode for letting u contract, i The mutter ()f sight would hn-vc to bo considered as well, that is, us to whether the building should be put on tbe present site or a new one sel ected. So far as our investigations have gone, we doubt very much whether the present site coUlcl be improved, all things considered.

Made at the present time, just prior to the opening of the houso, this threat has a gravity that cannot be Ignored, If the government can gag the house it is for Mr. Justice Cassells to show that the government cannot stay the rigor of his inquiry.

Politicians all over the Dominion are watching with great interest the outcome of tho graft investigation now boing ma-dc by the royal commission, When a tin mile flyer runs Into an open switch it is more than guess work ns to the result.
