Y.M.C.A. Opening Caven for Minister City Council After numerous delays and disappointments the local v. M. <*. A. was formally opened on Saturday lust and is now in a position tu do business. 'In*' formal opening will tako place in n few weeks, or as booh as several well known prominent railway and Y. M. 0. A. men can make arrangements to he present at tlte opening bsnquet, Oommenolng early after dinner on Saturday a continual stream of people were Been tji in- and coming from tbe new Association building, and all wearing the expression of people out for an enjoyable afternoon or evening. Over three hundred of these visitors partook of the hospi- tality of the Y. M. 0, A. (through the kindness of tho ladies in charge) In the dlntng room where tea, coffee, and cake was served for several hours in the afternoon and evening. The programme carried on in the committee rooms 1joI.1i in the afternoon and evening proved to he very pleasant and entertaining. Thanks aro due to the many who helped to make thla part so enjoyable, ani thu Association through the committee,. and the secretary wish to convey their thanks, through this paper to all who helped to make the day a pleasant success. In the bowling alley the ladies as well as the men enjoyed trying their skill at the game, and many good shots werc inaile during the afternoon and evening; many of the ladies'believing that they could opgan- ize a team that would give the mm a very interesting game The building was thoroughly inspected by all from the basement to the garret, and all were of one accord in voting the building to be one the best in the city, and of which the city could well be proud. The dining room opened up for business on Saturday, nnd will be open to the public (not members of the Y. M. C. A.) as well as to members, night and day. White holp only is employed in the building, and sxcellent service is assured to all. In this room over three hundred were served refreshments during the day. The bed rooms were visited by moat of the visitors and only words of praise were heard from all for the neat home-like appearance of these rooms. The best recommendation, however, comes from the men who room in the building, all of whom join in words of appreciation for the comfort found in them. We believe this building will nil a long felt want in Crnnbrook, and that it will have the support of all, for all self respecting people, regardless of religions belief are made welcome, and put in no embarrassing position there. On inquiry It ls found that somo of the stringent rulos of the Kast have been withdrawn here, aud that a man may join for a month, or frtr six months or a year. This bo- cause many men do not stay long ln one place, nnd prefer to join fot* less than u year. We have heard rumors of the formation of a bowling league, ami believe much fun and good healthy exercise will result from indulgence in this game. For those who never tried this game a half hour spout at it will probably make them enthusi- asts as the game hns a facinatiou that keeps the intercut of nil who try it.

The USUai lodge work was put aside for the evening and a side degree of the most laughable nature was given, this be- ing arranged to carry uut the truth embodied in these lines. "Laugh, and lake, world will luugh with you. Weep, and the world weeps too." There was no doubt as to the hilarious nature 0l this new degree "The Ancient Order of Bailiffs" for when the work was progressing, everyone present was simply overcome with laughter. Upon its completion, the tables were set for supper and in the partaking thereof everyone did ample justice to the excellent food provided. When Chancellor Commander Boyce rose ami explained the reason of this little social affair. This being thc 47th anniversary of the order, he went on to give a few details as to the progresBtveness und the advancement the Order of K. P's were making on this continent and especially in British Columbia today. We have tn British Columbia over 8,000 members, and, as thc work is becoming bettor known and thc excmplication of its truths nnd principles arc being so seen, the largo increase of membership now taking plnce will soon place the order well in the front ranks with any of the older orders. 202 new members wore enrolled in the last six months.) (Speaking of the local lodge, Chancellor Commander Boyce wont on to show the increased interest that was heing shown in the work here, and of tho numerous applications for memberthlp that was coming in, using the opportunity to again urge the members to pursue even greater vigor iu the work than over hns been done before.)

During their six nights engagement here, tbey will present among othor plays, "Mogda", is Bunderman's latest successful Gorman drama, and also "Out of Thf Fold", n play which bafl never before been played through this section of country. For tbe opening production they will present "Merely Mary Annie," B pretty little comedy drama which has mot with wonderful success throughout America. Miss Verna Felton's wmidcrful emotional abilities are peculiarly suited to tho playing of such parts as "Mary Annie." The passing of the simple country girl, to the gay life of tho city, and possession of unlimited wealth, and at the same time being truo to her former love, u poor musical composer, who loves her for herself alone, and Is willing to give her up on her acquiring a fortune, brings forth some remarkably . clever acting on Mlsi Felton's part, which has arousod tho interest and admiration of critics throughout, the country. Tho Allen Company will chnnge their plays every night during their Htay hero, and entirely new scenery will be presented each evening.

CRANBROOK, B.C. WILL CALL EXTRA SEJSStON. The reciprocity agreement having passed the congress of the United States hy the assistance of a full Democratic party vote, has struck n snag in the Republican senate, which Is holding back. But Taft is determined to have the bill passed, and If thc senate holds back for seven dnys, congress will adjourn, and Taft announces that be will call an extra scsBion. He is determined that the agreement shall become law. THR PHJHLINO GROWS So far the friends of reciprocity bave had it all their own way in Canada. Rut thc feeling against the deal grows steadily day hy day. The country is nnw heing heard from. Business men are beginning to move, and are stating their case, and before parliament passes the proposal a wave of indignation against it will sweep over the Dominion, both from a business and from a national standpoint. Canada is not yet, nor never wlll be turned over to the United States. ■ ■* ♦♦♦♦ '_: i Melcner's Red Cross Gin. 4 fa **** I'ctcr Dawson's Scotch Whiskey. _. * ********* * A. C.

D. 1911, and shall be made payable within ^uioment" of"trn)utttVy"\-'aiiey7'rth'at SOUTHEAST KOOTENAY j The Kootenay Central railway 'Is now under construction. The proposed route has been fully located, and when thc railway is cuinpl-ted, which will be In the near future, will add new glories to the wealth of the Oranbroo- district, and to Southeast Kootenay. The building of the Crow's Nest Pass railway opened up the extensive coal areaB of the Crow's Nest Pass, which have now a daily output of over 5,000 tons. The completion of the Kootenay Central will open up a district rich In mineral, lumbering and agricultural resources. Develupni-ut ui tbc mineral rosourcca of the Kuotenay valley, and those ol tbe Windermere district has been slow, being delayed by the lack of the necessary means of Transportation facilities, These conditions will be changed In tbe near future by the couBtruotlon of this Important artery ol commerce. Many things had to be considered fn connection with the immediate construction of this railway. Was there enough tonnage in sight to warrant its construction. Was it of sufficient importance as a short line from the Prairie provinces to relieve the main line in case of a snow-slide or other obstructions. Would it Increase the carrying capacity of the main line from coast to coast. Again was it or value as a korth and south connection between Spokane and Golden. We learn that with increased development of the mining, lumbering and agricultural industries that, by thc time the road is completed there .will be sufficient tonnage. That as a short line to tbe coast, a saving of several hours can be obtained from Medicine Hnt to Golden. As a freight road, full trains can be sent over this route doing away with the extra power needed in crossing the Rocky mountains. As a southern connection, it will give the C. P. B. direct connections with all the transcontinental lines that centre at Spokane. The building of tbis road through the Kootenay valley, from Golden to the Crow's NeBt branch, will help the KOOTKN'AY EXPORTS. According to W, B. Riblet, American Consular njrent tn Nelson, the exports from Kootenny in 1910 rrore than doubled those oi 1909. The figures give, arc eloquent of the rapid advance In prosperity that the Kootenay ha_ made daring the put 1- months. Tht total ,.,al«e of the exports to the Un ted Stntea from the district during 1909 was $2,782,480.81, While last yt^ar it waB $6,63^,666.81. The largest single item of this huge total is that for blister copper from the U. C. Copper und Granny companies' smelters. Other important itome are zinc concentrates winch account for $74,890; arsenical ore, $91,777, nnd Dore bullion, $74,8691. Dore bullion is o smelter product consisting principally of gold and silver. Jn these returns the gold bricks from the Queen, Nugget and other mines in the district nre not, as formerly, included, as thle bullion now goes to Vancouver nnd manufactured into the various finished products in this country. No fruit, vegetables or dairy produce were exported during the past year. The total value of tbe lumber sent from this district to the United States was $3,666 and tbe value of the coul which came entirely from the Prinoeton mines was $2,209, as against $1,800 last year.

BREAKS WITH ENOLAND. London, Feb. 19,-—ngland is at the parting of tho wnys with Russia. This statement was obtained tonight from a reliable although confidential source, very close to the British foreign olllce. From a number of other sources it was also learned tonight that the liliir;li8li diplomats construe Russia's Chinese aggression unci threat to occupy Kuldja, ns a definite abandonment by the czar ol England's friendship. England has long been recognized by the powers as friendly to China and tlui break with Russia is further emphasized by tlie obvious fact that Russia is co-operating With Japan. English diplomats figure that Russia's attitude is plainly calculated to offend the United States, generally regarded as China's protector, with the object of forcing England to choose between Japan, to whom she is bound, by a formal alliance, and tlio United States to whom she is bound by blood and kinship. In the event of a crisis it is admitted here that English public opinion, "despite the tompory flurry ovor the Canadian annexation incident" would compel Great Britain to side with the United States oven to the extent of breaking the Anglo-Japanese treaty. and better -, b r • a 4" Sold by the Fink Mercantile Co.
