WtagpttUt ( \>*™y /^N VOL. 17 CRANHROOK. ll.C . SATURDAY MORNING, JULY SSnd 1911 Board of Trade Excursion Over 300 visit the St. Mary's Prairie The Garden of St. East Kootenay Cranorook is the Centre of a Vast Agricultural District which was clearly demonstrated by the Thousands of Acres of Grain, Mixed Farming, and Fruit seen in the most Florishing Condition The outing that the Hoard ol Trade inaugurated on Thursday with the generous assistance of tht: Auto Association was a huge success. The efforts that have been put forth of I late to exemplify the value of the tliatrlct of Cranbrook as uu agricul-; tural centre, reached a climax wheu some ,100 people, some of whom were from the prairie provinces, as well as townspeople, viewed the several ranches out on St. Maryjs prairie. To say that almost everyone was surprised with the wonderful fertility that is in tbe soil there, is no idle boast, for, until a perm i. became \ personally acuuuinted with the products no one can form a true opinion of the valuable material wc have close at hand, and the wonderful commercial value that lays ready to be grasped by evory progressive man whose ambitions nre directed in tbis direction. There werc eleven automobiles, all owned by prominent Oranbrook citizens, put into commission to carry oue pnrty of sight seers, and a special train was obtained trom the C. F\ R. to take the others, hy which same 250, or, in all, about 300 journeyed toward Wycliffe and Ht. Mary's prairie to have demonstrated to tbem the wonderful growth that can be produced and the quality of fruits, etc. tbat can be raised in this district aloue. One of tbe Prospector's representatives left Oranbrook with the auto- ! mobile section, and one of the tlrst things remarked upon as we ran through this beautiful country was tbe wonderful strides that have been made these last few months by the | government road gnngs, providing excellent thoroughfares for the increas- ' lng traffic that is to be seen running from Cranbrook and to Cranbrook j from all over tbe distiict. This, in itself, furnishes ample proof of the confidence tbe authorities have that tbe district is to he one of thriving industries, and about to reap large crops of the soil. This must all be provided for by transit, and by the aforesaid means ore the authorities providing ways and means to combat with the certain increase of farmers and the various dealers iu land products. After running over hill and dale, and through long valleys of the best farming lands we terminated our ride at B. (-• Smith's ranch. The party here seems to have been split up Into several different sections under differ- ent leaders that the end tor which ' thc outing was originally organized could be bettor served. There were ubout H> in our party when we started out under tbc leadership of Fred. Itussell, a man well acquainted with, and possessed of n thorough knowledge of tbe country we were to pass through. As we walked ovei- the laud and looked in the several directions In turn Mr. Russell kindly explained the different growths and the ninny various products of tbe llelds, drawing our attention llrst to the large productiveness and the results that are being obtained from the various sections of Mr. Smith's ranch. Here we saw llelds of potatoes. oats and wheat, also an orchard that would he hard to heat In many/of the older portions of Canada, nnd never ln B. C. Leaving here we came to Mr. A. Graham's ranch, where wo again H»w a duplicate of the wonderful fertility that we bad seen In Mr. Smith's iu the llrst plane, potatoes, oats and wheat were again In prominence; close by this could be seen whole llelds of beautiful hay and timothy already cut stacked waiting to he haiilod to the market. Passing along In our circuit for our ultimate resting place was Wycllffo, where the remainder of thn party was to be met, we paused Tuylor Bros, llelds of pQttttOBB, oats, wheat and in this case some splendid fields of rye. Dr. Hall's, or rather tbe lands tbat werc bis, but that have recently been bought from him by Mr. West, we saw as iu the previous llelds, wheat, oats, rye, and potatoes with the addition of barley, in all their splendid proficiency, Our party did not visit H. H. Mc- Clure's ranch, but we bad explained to us the results that he was obtaining in the several noted products wheat, oats, barley, timothy and alfalfa; Andrew Pietre is another of the ranches that is specializing in wheat, oats and potatoes. Upon our return we learned of the wonderment that had taken hold of some of the strangers to this part of the country, upon seeing the products of George Ttsdale's labors. Here bad been seen the Holds of oatB, wheat, barley and potatoes, but what most astonished the visitors was tho rich fruit, its largeness and delicious taste. Here tbe kindness of the ranchers might be mentioned, as at every place wo visited an open Invitation was freely and courteously gtven to "take and eat." The invitation being accepted, practical proof was had of the richness and beauty of tbe fruit partaken. Otis Staples, of Wycliffe, hns at present under direct cultivation over 600 acres. His hay llelds producing one and a half tons, or a little over, per acre. Like tbe rest of the ranch- era ell along the prairie, Mr. Staples ts producing wheat, oata, timothy, and alfalfa, as well as vegetables of every description, only on a much larger scale thau the other ranchers. Special mention might be given to the fact tbat the products are of a genuine value when we say that the whole of tbe crop of the Staples ranch, outside of that which he will use for himself, is spoken for. Mr. Staples planted this spring a field of alfalfa that will yield a splendid crop this year, this is moat unusual, as never has it been demonstrated that alfalfa would yield a crop the first season. Clearly has this outing shown that the fruit and mixed fanning possibilities of this district iB In no way underestimated, but rather underrated. The practical proof of this is too clearly shown by tbe several references before referred to—R. 0. Smith's George Tisdale's H. H. McClure's, and also J, Hold's orchards. This, all possible purchasers of land Bhould take serious notice of, it is a fact, nml proof Is directly at band. In reference to fruit-trees, when the question is asked; "What (runs are best?" "What have been trlod?" re* commendation is given to ni pies, pears, cherries, etc, also small fruits of every variety. \ The laud of this district was previously turned only by the disl, and good results were obtained, (bis atone should convince n.iy y sslblo unbeliever of the wonderful and immense productive value of the still; but uow, when more modern methods are brought to hour, there fs no estimating the productiveness nud wealth possessed by this rich and fertilizing soil. | When the party returned home in the evening everyone in their several ways tried to show their appreciation to the originators of this movement for the pleasure shown and the lessons received. No more doubts can rest In anyone's mind, or stnnd iu the way of a person recommending a friend or stranger to this productive country, of which Cranbrook la tbe metropolis, the centre of the finest agricultural and fruit growing country In British Columbia. j WYCMKKB A FARMING AND AGRICULTURAL CENTRE The Board of Trade excursion to Wycllfle and the Ht. Mary's Prairie was a most pronounced success. Over 260 people comprised the party tbat vent by train. The flrst stop was made at Wycliffe, where a transfer of locomotives was made, and through the courtesy of Mr. Otis Staples, tbe Shay locomotive of the lumber company was hooked ou to the string of five cars for the trip over the fertile lands of the Prairie. The Prospector seut out two representatives with the party, one with the automobiles, the other by train. It was the writer's duty to report that portion of the district In the vicinity of Wycliffe. Wycliffe is a small town situated on the St. Mary's river about seven miles north of Cranbrook. The principle business is lumbering, and the mills of the Staples Lumber Co. are located here. The Staples Co. is one of the largest mills in tho province, and at present are cutting an average of 200,OUO feet of lumber every 24 hours. This company is sending out from 12 to 111 cars of lumber dally. Mr. Staples, president of the Company, bas ahout tiOO acres of land under cultivation. Along the river bank there are some forty acres of potatoes that are looking exceedingly well. A patch of about tive acres are planted with cabbage, with a couple more acres in onions. Upon the prairie land overlooking the town arc immense fields of grain suitable for feed. Among them are some 40 acres of oats, 40 to R0 acres of cow feed, acres of peas, together with ■about five acres of millet. Also some 10 acres of alfalfa which was planted :this spring, which is a Bight worth going to see, just because many have said that alfalfa will uut grow on these prairie lands. This statement U easily disposed of by a visit to tliis field. Witb hundreds of acres sawn to grass, feed, etc., also Vegetables of all kinds, Mr. Staples as demonstrated that the soli of t. Mary's prairie is fertile and capable of producing immeuse crops, and tbat the rainfall ol the district Is ufneient without any further irrigation. The crops raised and now maturing by Mr. Staples will be sufficient to upply the town of Wycliffe with vegetables, also to furnish feed for Ithe large number of horses employed ■by the company. Mr. Staples has also contracted with Mr. IS. C. Smith, whereby he wlll cut hay from about 1000 acres of wild land, which will yield about a tou to a ton aud a half per ucre. Tbis article would not he complete if mention was not made of the Wycliffe hotel. Harry Kdwards Is the proprietor, and it is one of the beat hotels in the diatrict. It Is up to date, and many of the ladies wbo ttended the excursion were loud In their praises of the hospitality of Mr. Edwards and his housekeeper. ] From a strictly business point of : iow the Board of Trade excuraion was a most complete success. It has demonstrated that '.Ue prairie lands of the St. Mary's prairie are fertile, and that fruit growing and mixed farming can be carried on on a commercial basis. .Master's Voice From Tbo Toronto Saws CONTRIBUTED FOR THE OCCASION You should take a trip to St. Mary's plain, Where the farmers are blest witli the Bummer's rain; Where the soil is productive, sure, it will grow Anything the farmers care to sow.

L Progressiveness shown by Local Dentist Dr. Hall Opens New Dental Chambers To he exact it was on the 16th of March, L909, when Dr. H. E. Hall rented tbe rooms over Mr. B. H. Short's paint store.

To those absolutely free in tbe matter of choice, Crnnhrook, on lirst. sight might not offer us many favorable aspects us some other larger cities. Cranbrook has a way of growing upon you. It docs not show all its lines of beauty ut one glance, any more than does a beautiful face. Nature has done much, put has done that, or anyone would moro correctly say, is doing that, in such a coy. shy way, that evory ilay some new phase of thc muchness conum to view, anil the lover of variety can have it on a lurge scute.

Cranbrook's supply comes from a source laying up between two mountain spurs, about three and a ■half miles from town. It is brought \ by gravity pressure to the city, and laid Into every home at a reasonable cost per year, tio soft is the water that it cau be, and is used, for uny and every home purpose, and so abundant that 2f»,0ti0 could use It without exhaustion of tho supply. On this account, some day in tho not distant future, the lawns, gardens, and boulevards of this city will ho unexcelled anywhere in the west. 1 To the husiness man, artisan, and laboring man, Crnnbrook with Its railroad facilities, which, with the soon to he completed Kootenny Central, will give easy access to any and every part of the province, and the adjacent provinces, as well as to the United States, its Immense areas of timber lauds, aud consequent lumber and planing mills, its adjacent mines, conl und mineral, Its splendid fruit ranches, togother with its opportunities for dairying and all kinds of mixed farming, oiler facilities for improving one's pecuniary clrcum stances, nowhere excelled, Then for the higher sides of life, the school prlvoleges now excellent, and adequate to present demands, and try and build up a business that would prove a staple livelihood for bim and his family.

And Im- offered ber bis congratulations upon baring bad ber uncle restored to bi-r ni tbe moment wben she was read) to despair of ever Beelng biro again, Here we were Joined by Prince Cla- lltcb. He had come to ust for news of bis old friend Hob. of whose misfortune be bad learned. Mini'. F.dith reassured him us to ber uncle's condl- tloo and entreated tlie prince to pardon ber relative for bi*j too excessive devotion to tbe "oldest skulls In tbe history of bumaiiiiy." The prince smiled graciously und with the utmost kindliness when be was told tbat Old Hob bad been attempting to steal bis skull. Tbe prince asked for tbe details. Ue seemed very curious ubout tbe affair, and Mine. Edith told how ber uncle had acknowledged to ber that be had quitted the Tort of Hercules by way of lhe air shaft which communicated with the sea. As soon us sbe said this I recalled the experience of Rouletabllle with tbe Hash of water and also tbe close Iron burs, and the falsehoods which Old Bob had uttered assumed gigantic proportions In my miud, and i wns sure that the rest of tbe party must hold the same opinion as myself. Mine. Kdlth told ua that Tulllo had been waiting witb bis boat at tbe opening of tbe gallery abutting on the shaft to row lbe old savant to tbe bank In front of tbe grotto of Romeo and Juliet. "Why so many twists nnd turnings when It was so simple to go out by the gate?" I could not restrain myself from exclaiming, Mme. Kdlth looked ut me reproachfully, and 1 regretted baring even seemed to hnve taken part against her in nny way. "And this is stranger yet," said tho prince. "Day before yesterday the 'hangman of the sen' come to bid me adieu, snying, that he was going to leave the country, nml 1 nm sure lhat be took the train for Venice, his native city, nt S o'clock in tbe afternoon. How then could be hnve conveyed vour ancle lu his bonl late that nlgbt? In tbe llrst place, lie was not in thw purt of the world; ln the second, lie hnd sold his boat.

There was ■ dead silence, and I'rluce ti'ulltcb continued: "All this Is of little importance, provided Hint your uncle, madame, recovers speedily from His Injuries and again," be added, witb another mnille more charming thau those which Dad preceded it, "It you will aid me In re- gnlulug a poor piece ol Mint which ban disappeared from lbe grotto and of which | will give you ibe description, ll Is a sharp piece of libit twenty-live centimeters long ami shaped ut ono end to Ibe form of a dagger-in brief, the oldest dagger of the human race. 1 value It greatly, and perhaps you may be able to learn, madame, through your Uncle Hob whal has become of It." Mme. Kdlth at once gave her promise to tbe prince, with a certain nir of haughtiness which pleased roe greatly, tbut she would do everything possible Io obtain for bim news of so precious nn object. Tbe prince left us. When we hnd lliilshed returning his parting salutes we saw Uance before us. He seemed very thoughtful. He bad bis Ivory bended cane In bis bund and was whistling, according to bis habit, and be looked nt Mme. Kdlth with a strange expression. "I know exactly what you nre thinking, sir," she said, "und you may keep on thinking Tor aught I care." She stepped near Itouletabille. "At ull events," she exclaimed, "you can never explain to me bow when he wns outside tbe square tower be could hnve bidden behind that panel.'*" "Madame." said Rnulctabllle Impressively, looking nt ber ns though be were trying to hypnotize ber. "If Uod ls with me, before nlgbt 1 shall explain to you all that you wish to know." A little Inter I found myself In the lower parlor of la Louve, tete-n tete With Mme. Edith, I utiempted to reassure her. seeing how restless and nervous she was. But she burled her pale face in her hands, and her trembling lips allowed du. confession of ner fears to escape them. "Let us go out Into the air," she said Impatiently. »| Plul-t breathe in this place." We entered the garden. It was approaching the hour of noontide, and the court wus a dream of perfumed beauty. I looked at Mme. Kdlth. Heads of perspiration stood out on her forehead, ami her face was as pale an deuth. Kdlth led the way toward the postern gale. The vault of thin postern formed a black arch in tbe light, and at the extremity of this tunnel we perceived, facing us. Itouletabille and Darxac. who were standing Ut the edge of Ibe Imier Court like tWO white statues. Itouletabille was holding In his baud Arthur Itanre's Ivory beaded cnoe. Motioning witb thc nine. be showed Diirv.nc something on the summit of the vault which we could not see, und (ben he pointed us out In the sume way. We could not bear whin be said, The iwo talked together for a few moments with their lips Kcurccly moving, like two accomplices in some dark secret. Mme. Kdlth paused, but Itouletubllle beckoned to ber, repenting the signal with his cane. We went on until we reached »i*» ' vault, and the others watched us without mak lug a movement lo meet us. We had come up close to ihem hy this time, aud they bade aa turn mound with our bucks toward tho court so tbat we could see what Ihey were looking ut. There was ou lop of tbe arch u stone, uow loose, wblcb seemed In Imminent danger of fulllug and crushing tbe bends ol tbe passers- by. Rouletubllle usked Mme. Edith if she bad any objections to Its being pulled down until It could be replaced more solidly. "A good Idea." she nuswered. Rouletubllle bunded the Ivory head- ed ctiue to Darzuc, asking hlin to perform tbe feat of dislodging the stone, which was part of n curved escutcheon, the shield of the Mortula. "Vou ure taller thau 1," be weut on. "See If you cau reach it." Darsac seized the stick. lie stretched upward and siruck wiih great vigor at tbe object, which clattered to tbe ground, Suddenly behind uie I beard the cry of u man lu bis dying agouy. We turned with oue Impulse* uttering uu exclamation ot horror. We all stood there, shivering, our eyes wide with horror Who waa dead? What expiring breath Had emitted that terrible sound? Rouletabille was (be most terrified of us all. Matton!, who wus passing through the garden aud who had ulso tieurd the cry, rushed up. He hurtled behind bim. When we bad passed the shade of thy eucalyptus we found tbe cause. Tbe cry bad come, Indeed, from a soul passing into the unknown ll mis Bernier—Hornier, In whose throat sounded t he den I b rn11 le. w bo was trying in vuiu lo rise und wbo wus at the last gasp of his life. It was Bernier from whose brenst tlowed a stream of blood and wbo, with oue Inst fearful struggle. Bumnioned strength enough to utter tbe two words "Fred* eric Larsan!'' Tben bis head fell buck, aud be was dead. Larsan always, forever. Here yet ngain wus bis mark-a deud body nnd uo o"e anywhere nenr who COQld bave committed Ibe murder by auy possibility of. human renson. We rushed Into the square tower, the door of which still stood opeu. We entered in n t»>dy the beUrooiu of Old Hob, passing through 'he empty silting room. I'he Injured mau was lying ijuletly on his bed within, aud near bim a woman was watoUUtg— Mere Beruier. Koth -.vere as calm rmd Hill na the dny Itself, but wbeu ihe wife of the dead concierge caw oui faces she uttered n cry of affright, us though smitten by the kuow I edge of Home calamity. She bad beard uothing; she kuew uothing. Hut she rushed Into tbe ulr like a streak of lightning and went straight, us though Impelled by some hidden force, directly tc Ihe place where the bodv wns lying. And now It was her groans tlmt founded on the nir under tbe terrible mn of tbe Midi over the bleeding corpse. We tore tbe shirt from tbe dead man's breast and found a gaping wound just ubove the heart. We looked for t he wen pon everywhere without finding It. The mnn wbo had struck Ihe blow hud curried tbe knife nway. Where wus the man? .Who was he? What we did not know Bernier bad known before he died, ind it was perhaps because of tbut knowledge tbat his life bad been forfeited. "Frederic Larsan!" We repeated tbe lust words of the dying mun In fear und trembling. Suddenly on the threshold of the postern we saw Prince Unlltcb, a newspaper in his bund. He was reading us be cume toward us. Ills ulr was jovial, and his face wore u smile. Ilu) Mine. Kdiib rushed up to bim, I snatched the paper from bis hands, pointed io the corpse and cried out: "A mun has beeu murdered! Send for the police!" The prince turned away from the body, slating that he would send for the authorities Koniembiiie wus examining the iron burs and heavy Ild which closed tbe shaft, but his manner was distrait j and discouraged. Turning once more to his hostess, be said In tbe same low voice: "And what will you tell the police : when tbey get here?" "Everything I" Mrs. Itance fairly snapped out the word between her teeth, her eyes flashing fire. Ue seemed utterly exhausted and vanquished. M.

Col. Patterson Tells of an Experianct In "ast Africa. At our next camping.place on the Guaso Nyiro, in British Kast Africa. our fisherman had a very narrow es cape indeed, and aa all the eireum stances connected with it were rao*1 extraordinary aud dramatic, 1 musl relate bhe entire adventure. Un this particular morning 1 happened to be riding alu-uJ ol the "sn- ia i'i" on tbe look out lor a suitable camping place, wnen 1 suddenly came upon an impula and, knowing tbat we were in want of some camp meat, I mule a hasty shot at him as lie tied uway through tiie scrub. My bullet struck bim and knocked him bend over heels, but before 1 could reach him he picked himself up and made Iur the river. I fired again, bit mi.-aed, jmd then ran to the river tank, fully expecting to see bim mak- i.'g his way across, but there was no trace of him to be discovered anywhere. I wus very much astonished at this, as 1 could not understand how a beast wounded so badly could get away so quickly; but after searching in t very direction I gave him up and tumul my attention to the selection ol our camping-ground, which I chose close by, under the shade uf some huge trees. As soon as tbe tents were pitched, Nyumbu went down to the river to fish us usual and was just about to step off tbe bank on to whut be look tu be u log. when the apparent log gave a slight movement, and he saw thut it wus the back ot a crocodile, The man wus luckily uble to draw buck, nud rushed up the slope, calling out, "Uwana, mainba, mamba!" ("Master a crocodllel a crocodile!"). We all happened to be close at hand, so 1 seized my rifle and ran down to the river, and, seeing the hideous creature's back close under the bunk, quickly put a bullet into it. Instantly there was a terrific heaving and writhing in tbe water, which the reptile lashed about in all directions, though In* seemed unable to get away. Seeing this Abbudi ran down to tne water s edge, stepped oil to a bough which projected out over the river, uml thrust bis spear with all his might deep into the creature's back. Tlie moment the crocodile lelt the steel he twisted himself round on his tail with indescribable speed aud vie- lousness, snapped at the spear, whipped it clean out of Abbudi'§ band, as we.l as i ui ol bis own back, ami flung it yards away to the bottom of the river. , 1 never in all my life suw such an astonished and crestfallen expression an appeared on Abbudi's (ace, aud indeed il wus no wonder, ior the rapidity villi which the brute bad turned on him waa incredible. His position was now highly dangerous, but before the crocodile could whip round again to mnk- a second grill), 1 put another couple of bullet- into his spine, thus rendering him quite helpless, In the miilst ol all thin excitement, and while the crocodile was lushing about ami snapping his vice-like jaws, Mrs. It., forgetting that she wns -,lil an iuvulul, jumped on to the branch beside Abbudi to get a better view ol what was going on. Tbis was ii most unwise proceeding, but fortunately the reptile was too badly hit to be able lu do any damage, An soon as he wus quite dead we bud a rope fastened round hlin, and witli Lie- aid of a dozen willing hands hauled bun un out ol lhe river. The most extraordinary part of the whole occurrence then happened, for when one ll.il b.llll Up (o III him tho bull of a fruthly-eatcn impalal There wa" un doubt i.but il wus lhe one which I hml BhoL, and which bad disappeared su mysteriously aflei making Its way to the river bank. It was no wonder thai I could not Ilml him, »s he must even then havo been in the mow ol the i'r dile, whloh, ol course, bad cnughl lum uml dragged him under ni Poon ns be attempted to struggle across lbe stream. Alter' considerable trouble Ahhudi recovered his spear from the river bed, but found that the soft blade bud been benl almost to u right angle by the crocodile when he grabbed it out of bis band.-From "In tbe.drip of tbe Nyiku," by Lieut,-Col.

WILLIAM HARRISON, Jul- 4th, Mil n.|t J THE PROSPwtfiot.. CRANBROOK. BRITISH COLUMBIA . NOKOMIS w* The Junction City tf Nokomis tn Hltuated mttlway between Winnipeg nml Edmonton, in the center uf the P10 V 111 CO ot Saskatchewan. Nokomis in in the heart uf Saskatchewan's ronowned wheat ill strict - the La-it Muun tain valley. Tbe future uf Nokomis as an important railway centre Ih insured hy two Transcontinental railways—tbo Grand Trunk racirtc nnd the Canadian Pacific, Another Transcontinental, tho Canadian Northern railway is to extend its line through .Nokomis. Five targe Implement warehouses, a Hour mill. and the Imperial Oil Co. now use Nokomis as a distributing point. The lend taken by those Institutions Is about to be followed by others uf similar Importance, and in a short time it. is expected thnt tbe railway yards will be hedged in by warehouses and mercantile establishments, nnd will he active, not. only with a huge national forwarding and traffic business, but with the hum of the local manufacturers and wholesale enterprises, Au n distributing point Nokomis affords advantages which manufacturers and jobbers Will uot overlook. It wlll command a large part of the jobhiug trade for n cuusiderahle distance up aud down the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific rnilwny, and the two Important brunch llhes which will centre there, Its shipping facilities mnke it nn especially advantageous location for manufacturers, lt has been demonstrated thnt un abundance of wnter for factory use is obtainable. Backed by a rich agricultural district, an important railway centre, a distributing centre, snd destined to become a manufacturing centre. Nokomis cannot help continuing to grow rapidly, and continued growth means continued increase in real estate values nnd big profits for those who invest iu real estate there at preseut prices. When population doubles, real ent ate values quadruple. Today is the time to buy lots in Nokomis. Grand Trunk Pacific Station and Grain Elevators at Nokomis Canadian Pacific Station and Gram Elevators at Nokomis Nokomis Likely to be a Divisional Point on Two Railways It Is claimed that the Canadian Pacific has expended over iiOfiUO et StraaBburg; thirty-two milea south ol Nokomis, in endeavoring to secure an adequate supply ol water to enable It to make Strassburg a divisional point. It ls understood that sufficient water has not yet been obtained al Strassburg, and lt Is being rumored that the Canadian Paciflc probably will make Nokomis a divisional point on Its Pheasant Hills line. The extension of the Canadian Northern through Nokomis will assure tlie future of this rapidly growing new town as one ol the important distributing paints in Western Canada. It is not only possible, but very probable tbat Nokomis will also be a divisional point on the Canadian Northern. The Canadian Northern must have a divisional point at or near Nokomis and as an abundant supply of pure water at a divisional point is essential, it is believed that Nokomis advantages in this respect wi,l not lie overlooked. But the future of Nokomis does not depend upon its being made a divisional point on either the Canadian Pacific or the Canadian Northern. Its varied natural advantages and the fact tbat It will be served by three Tranecontlnental railways practically guarantee its rapid growth into au important city. Fifth Nokomis A Live Business Town Practically every line of business is represented at Nokomis. It has a planing mill, blacksmith shops three lumber yards five Implement warehouses two banks—the Northern Crown and Canadian bank of Commerce—a local telephone system, three well appointed hotels, five grain elevators flour mill livery stables (one of which ls said to bave beeu built at a cost ol $16,000) tanks of the Imoerlal Oil company, and a well edited newspaper, etc. The business men of Nokomis are progressive and successful; its people sober, intelligent and industrious. Its location and environments are snob as to facilitate its commercial prosperity and render a steady growth possible. The surrounding country is well cultivated, the soil is fertile, the farmers thrifty aud progressive. Then, too tho geographical position of the town is such au to make it an excellent distributing point. Prom Its advantageous surroundings, its commercial facilities, its business opportunities, Its advantages as n shipping and distributing point, Its excellent sanitary conditions and wator supply, uud the thousand and ono things that tend to make It a desirable place in which to dwell, the town Is attracting the nttontion ol manufacturers and* men of business from afar, and the outlook of Nokomis is of a most bright and promising character. The healthfulness of the climate, the character of the public Improvements, tho doslrablo class of Bottlers—practically all ciigllsh speaking—together with the beauty of the Blto, all combine to place Nokomis in the Iront rank of modern western towns.

The complaint is frequently heard that one western town Is pretty much like another—only more so. In this respect Nokomis is an exception, for here one misses the homely and unpictureaiiue shack and square front hostelry of the budding Western towns. Nokomis is but a babe in arms lu age compared with some towns, yet it can boost uf permanent buildings of brick, cement block and frame construction, whilst many of the private residences would do credit to a much more pretentious town. Nokomis is proud of her buildings, which are a tribute to thc unbound- Ins; faltb of her people. 80 marked Is this feature of the place Hint strange™ are quick to perceive it, and the Rev.

Kootenay Valley In the Kootenay valley there are thousands of acres of vacant land; there Is land unexcelled for farming purposes, vast tracks of timber lands, and large areas with mineral Indications. Southeast Kootenay is nut entirely a miniug couutry; its mineral resources are certainly uot fully developed, owing to lack of transportation facilities, yet in spite of this fact there are a thousand meu constantly employed in the big silver- lead mines. These men with their families demand foudstufls, and at this time a large majority of tbe farm and dairy produce consumed is imported from tbe Northwest Territories. Farmers are wanted throughout tbe whole valley. High cash prices are paid for fresh eggs, milk, cream, butter and cheese, and garden truck finds a ready market. Southeast Kootenay presents opportunities tbat are equalled lu no other undeveloped agricultural district. Mining is yet in its infancy. Some portions of tbe district are practically unexplored, and mining experts do not attempt to estimate the mineral wealth that may still lay bidden beneath the surface. Lumbering is progressing rapidly, but there are boundless tracts of the finest varieties of tamarac, fir, spruce and pine. Numerous sawmills and wood-working factories have been located during the past few years and there Is a ready demand for all forest products. As the land is cleared tbe opportunity for tbe farmer upens. The soil is rich iu those qualities necessary to the production uf all ruot crops, fruit grows tu perfection, and all grains flourish in au extravagant manner. WATBR NOTIOH.

Briefly we remind yuu that ancient Babylon wus bu.lt on the river Euphrates; that she hud impregnable walls, that the river ran through the midst of the city, and the great galea of brass spanned the river as a protection against assaults of au enemy from that (punter. The name of the city was attached to a large area of country outside of it, for which is served as tbe capital. Indeed, at iti* zenith Babylon was mistress of the then civilized world - the first Universal Umpire. We remind you of the captivity, first of the ten tribes of Israel, nud later on nl tin- remaining two tribes or kingdom called Judah. The method of Bubylon was to scatter the Israelites amongst the Babylonians, and through tlr r earthly interests to amalgamate them as part and parcel of Babylonia. This condition of things lasted until the lull ol Bubylon before its conqueror, Cyrus. The (juneral gained his victory in a remarkable manner, while tlie Babylonian*., assured of their security, were revelling at a banquet. Although thc . crisis came suddenly, the preparation had been long in progress. The sol- j diers ol Cyrus, under his direction, ! had digged a canal of considerable depth ready to drain off the water uf tl.! river as sunn as the necessary connection was made. When the canal waa in readiness tho connection witli the river wa-. speedily made and the wub*r flowed rapidly Into the new channel, leaving the bed of the river under tho great brazen gales, on both Bides of thu city, au open roadway, through which inarched the army of Cyrus. Suddenly, at an unexpected moment, the boastful city, the proud Bubylon, was captured. Then it wus that Cyrus, tlie victorious general, gave the command which granted liberty to every Israelite carried captive thither, to return to his own land. Additionally, assistance was rendered lu all who desired to return, and lhe golden vessels pertaining to the worship of Uud in the temple were sent buck. But strange to say out uf all the millions who had constituted Israel and Judah before the captivity, ouly ahuut fifty-three thou* Hand of all tiie tribes were anxious to avail themselves of the privilege of muming tu the Land of Promise, Tbe Book of Revelation, the book of symbols, tlie last message ol our ascended Redeemer to His Church through the Apostle John, was written long eenturies after literal Babylon perished. Its reference tu Babylon, therefore, can be viewed only in the light of symbolism. As already suggested, many of the prophetic utterances seem far too strong tu be applied to liters] bubvluu and her fall. Indeed, while speaking directly of Babylon aud her (all at tne hands of the Medes and Persians under Cyrus, the prophecies speak of tiie end of this Age and ol world-wide calamities incidental to the overthrow of every institution contrary to the Divine will, preparatory to the inauguration ul Messiah's Kingdom. I request ttiat at your convenience you read Isaiah xiii, l-iu, in confirmation Of what 1 have said. I ri'c.m- mend furtlu-r that you compare Jeremiah 1, 15. 2D, with Revelation xviil, tl, and Jeremiah 1. 'M, w.th Revelation XVi, 12, and the 4<Jth verse with Heve* tatlnn xviil, \i Compare also Jeremiah li 0-9, with Revolution xviii, 4; nnd verse l;i oi Jerem nu II with Kevela tlon xvu, l 15; nnd verses •'!". 03, M ft itn uevelfltioii xviii, 2, 4, 21. No one can mak" these comparison.*, I believe, and not feel fully convinced ■,hai the Holy Spirit dictating through Uulnh and Jeremiah was the sum* Holy .Spirit, which guided ht. John through the Apocalyptic vision. Not enn such students escape the conclu s....i that the force of the prophecies npply spec.ally to Mystic Babyhti miner than to the literal city and country. As one section ol literal Babylon fell belore another, so Heve lation predicts it will be with Mystic Babylon. As Literal Babylon ruled :iver tne whole World, so "y-l:c Baby lun is represented as ruling the civl- 'ized world, und hence the entire Aorld. As the lords ot Baby ton were made drank by wine which they drunk from tlie golden vessels captured irom the temple at Jerusalem, so Mystic Babylon, represented by a woman, i- said to muke ail nations drunk with the wine, or doctrine, which -he gives tii in out ot t.ie golden cup which she holds in ner hand. As Literal Babyion fell by tiie drying up oi the waters ot the Euphrates, and that the way ii- ths kkigs ot the Kast shall be prepared by the drying up of those water* I Revelation xvi, 12). Similarly we are assured Mystic Babylon's end shall Co i suddenly. .u one hour." Like a great millstone she shall be cast into the sea io rise no mure. As the literal Israelites were invited to leave Babylon the literal, and were helped so to do, but only a ft i responded, su spiritual Israelites are urged to leave Mystic Baby lon in Which they have been in captivity. but only a comparatively small uuin b r have a sufficiency oi courage, love and zeal to respond at the first—other- will be delivered after her collapse Now, however, the message is. "Babylon is fallen, is fallen (sentenced lo fall). Come out of her. my people, that ye be not partakers ol her sin* and that ye revive not uf her plagues" (Revelation xviii, 8 5), No student can examine the record* without astonishment and a realise iiuu that Mystic Babylon must hv , some great. infiu-ntiul system "I greal power in the world during this Qospe . je, and especially at it> close. Th- ' very prominence given to Babylon both in prophecy and in Revelation I warns Cud*.- people thai if they shoul I not yet found Babylou they should , seek lor h 't. For so great an iusti tutioii as made ah nations drunk with Iier false doctrine must be very proiin , netlt, indeed, to those who were mud- i so under the Influence of tne stupefy iug draft from her cup. Indeed, tiie in t: mat ion is that the whole civilized world will be so Intoxicated with tlie false teach.ng ol Babylon a? to be completely uuder her Influence. And when she lull* lt is particularly explained that all the grtat, the rich, the mighty, the infiu ■■ntial of earth will mourn lhe catastrophe of her fall. Only the saintly few will recognize its true import and rejoice; as We read, "Alas' that great city that was clothed in tine linen au 1 purple and scarlet, and decked with guid ami precious stones and pearls! Por in one hour so great riches la come to naught. • • * What city ia like unto this grt-at city I Auu they cast dust on their heads aud cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city!* (Revelation xvtii, 16-19). But. on the contrary, another class , rejoice=, as we read: "Rejoice over her, thou heaven, aaid ye Holy Apostles and Prophets; for God had avenged you on her. And I neard a voice ot muvn people in neav- en. saying, Alleluia! Salvation, and glory, and honor, and power, unto the Lord our Uod; fur true and righteous uie His judgments; for He hath judged the great Harlot which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, aud i huth avenged the blood id His servants at her hand" (Revelation xviii, 20, and xix, 1, 2). It seems very clear, my dear brethren, thut many of us were once part and parcel of this great Babylou-—this great system of confusion by which tlie Divine character has been so traduced through misinterpretations of the Divine Word. I am aware that Catholics declare that Protestants are this Babylou system; aud 1 am award that Protestants claim that Catholics are this Bubylon system. To my understanding of the Divine Wurd, both ure right! Babylou is the Mother system and the various sects of Protestantism ure the daughters, ami the name Babylou is a lauiily name. It belongs to the mother system tirst, and to ull the daughters uf the system now, as well. Improper association with the world, its governments and systems, ia a crime to which they are parties. The "daughters" have followed the example ol the "mother." aud more or less are coming back into sympathy with her iu all particulars. None of them have maintained the proper attitude of virginity aud separateness (rum the world. Do not misunderstand me. I believe that there are true saints of Uod in all tue various purls of Christendom— mother und daughters. I do not even charge nor believe that those who have upheld and are upholding the various sections of Babylon have ao evil intention; I believe that they are thoroughly "drunk." intoxicated with their own erroneous theories. The fall ol their present institutions will be a startling blow lv them, f r they verily believe them to be Christ's Kingdom— aud style them such—Christendom. The fall of Bubylon will astonish the entire world, so complete is the illusion that Christendom represents the throne and government of Messiah amongst men. And, be it remembered, t ' vast majority in all -ie various sects and denominations of Christen dom are worldly people who have no conception whatever of the true Church and her cause. Their ambition [s to approximate righteousness and a form of godliness, bul no more thai this seem' to them necessary; more would be Irrational, unreasonable, since tlo-y have not been begot- ten of the Holy Spirit and therefore Cannot appreciate things from the Di vine standpoint. To them the fall of Babybn at rir-t :- astounding, a perplexity, but will w-nrk no real mjuiy. because tlie reign d Babylon over the earth will be superseded by the reign of the New Jerusalem — the Kingd >m of (jod'i dear Son. The most saintly ol God's people will hear the voice ol D.vine command, "Come uut of her, My people," and will obey it before the 'all comes; but a large number, even ut '..: Lord'- people, lacking courage, will share with Babylon tlie troubles -I that hour.

Beneath us the Hall is black with moving figures, all wearing gowns- sleeved for th; full-blown barrister, sleeveless for the neophyte. Three loud raps at tht. portal, and the scene is swiftly changed.

Lord Knollys, tiie King's private secretary, must be having a busy time just now. His lordship bas been a trusted counsellor und servant of the Koyul Household for many years, and the association of his family with the reigning house dates back for several generations. Au ancestor of the present peer was Treasurer ol the Household to Queen Elizabeth, and was raised to the peerage eventually, becoming the Earl ot Banbury, a title uow extinct. Lord Knollys' father wus General Sir Willium Thomas Knollys, who likewise h-'d various oflices in the Royal Household, and was also at one time Usher of the Bluck Rod. Ixird Knollys became private secretary to the late King in 1870, and con* tinucd his Majesty's adviser until his d .;ath. During all those years the qualities of a prince, who was acknowledged as the most tactful gentleman in Europe, were reflected in the courtesy, the patience, and the tact of his servant. The barony which Lord Knoylls holds was conferred iu the year of the late King's coronation. He is one of the few peers who have not taken the trouble to acquire a grant of arms, and the record of his peerage contains this entry: "The stamp duty ou this peerage patent was remitted" — a reminder of the faithful services lor which the peerage waa bestowed. h used to be a joke at Marlborough House that if Lord Knollys, who will be seventy-four in July, was awakened in the middle of the night by an inquiry as to whut the King would do on a certain day in the following week, he would at once name the engagements.

Of the speeches delivered by the principal gu sts ut a banquet recently in London, tlie most interesting perhaps was that of General Botha. The great Boer chief spoke in Dutch, his words beiug translated sentence by sentence. There was au amusing incident at the commencement of his speech. General Botha had said in Dutch, "My lords and gentlemen," and then paused while the interpreter, Standing neur him, repeated the words in English in a loud voice. The toast- master jumped to the conclusion that the interpreter was au interrupter who wished to looVess the Milliliters pres* ent ou the subject of woman's suffrage, and, hurrying towards him, placed his hand on hia shoulder. Then, amid the laughter of the company, the toust-muster hud his mistake explained to him, and the pro* ceeding* resumed their appointed course, The Fss.

What is the connection between the Moiiiiioii Church in Canada and the Cuuruli in Utah? Tlie Cauadiau territory is treated exactly as il it were part of Utah. Under the president, councillors, apostles and other olticers of the Utah Church are tne quorums of elders and quorums of teachers, uud the quorum of deacons. Where the quorums are is called a Stake, lu Canada there are two Stakes, the Alberta Stake, extending from Spring Coulee to the international boundary, aud the Taylor Stake, including the territory north from Spring Coulee. The order is duplicated through the Stakes and through every auxiliary organization. There is the btake president and his two councillors, tne quorum of twelve, called the High Council, the quorum of seventy, the quorums of eiders and priests, teachers and deacons, lu the two Canadian Stakes are twenty-three wards, each again with a separate aud complete organization from a bishop and two councillors down to the deacons again, all thc Ward organizations being under the immediate supervision ii the Stake presidency. Buys irom twelve to fifteen years of age are deacons, from fifteen to eighteen teachers, from eign* teen to twenty-one priests, and from twenty-one upwards elders. Eight years, with the training and teaching given, is considered a sufficiently mature age for b.|tism, an understanding and experience of faith and repentance. Baptism is by immersion and the laying ou of hands for the Holy Spirit. This habit, though, of opening and closing everything witli prayer, produces occasionally a funny effect. 1 heard of a council meeting in Magrath whicli had been scrappy throughout the hours until twelve, nobody hud agreed with anybody else and not one motion had been carried. And the voicer of the closing prayer did not even smile when he found himself thanking the Lord for the spirit that had prevailed throughout the evening. What Did ths Chauffeur Say? The chauffeur of a prominent Toronto business man tells a good story concerning an occasion when his expectations didn't by any means come true. Several years ago he was one of a number of chauffeurs who were taking from Hamilton to Toronto a number of delegates to a Y.M.C.A. convention in Toronto. The delegate* had gone on a little trip to the Am* bitious City and were anxious to get bock in good time for the convention. All the automobiles were having trouble, and much time waB being lost. A man who was especially anxious to get to Toronto in the evening said to the chauffeur whu figures in this story: "Hurry all you can. Keep going as much as possible irrespective ot trouble, and I'll Ux you up. when we get to Toronto." The chauffeur followed instructions, and when the party reached Toronto the anxious passenger gave him — a reserved front row seat for that night's session of the convention. Alberta Farmers Prudent. A writer in a western paper, who is perhaps more long-sighted than the average westerner engaged in agricultural business, points out that the Fiovince of Alberta has uo need to feel hurt by repeated criticisms ol her puny wheat exportation wheu compared with that ul Saskatchewan. The farmers in Alberta, he says, realise the advantages that flow from feeding grain to live stock instead of exporting it, and they ore inclined to fiuy as much attention to mixed faming as to grain production. There is no room to quarrel with that tendency.—Montreal Standard. Htrtfint of Novel. The heroine uf the famous English novel, "Broken Earthenware," by Haruld Begbie, is iu Canada.

Eighteen hours nf sunshine, brilliant, life-giving sunshine, tempered by a delicious, cool breeze from the Pacific. That's what constitutes the longest day in Alberta, the Canadian province which lies at latitude ft-'l degrees 30 minutes, far above Newfoundland, above the island of Anti* costi, more than twice as far north of Montreal or Halifax, N.S.. as Halifax is nurth of New York. It lies level with the foot of Hudson Buy and nearly to the middle of Lahrudor. "But one is wrong in supposing that it must he very cold up there, writes Albert Jay Nock. "1 spent a midwinter week in Edmonton, the eupitnl. ;ion miles north of the international houmlury und wore the Hume weight of clothes that I had been wearing in the springlike climate uf the coast.

The mountains are lower and admit the ocean air unohllled. "The Isothermal lines published on the Qovernment maps are an interesting study. Edmonton and the whole region northwest to Fort Simp* son average 250 days in the year when the thermometer la above the freezing point. "Summer nights in Edmonton give only about two hours and a half of actual darkness. One can easily read fine print by daylight at 10.30. Ball games begin at 7.30. Canadians call this province 'Sunny Alberta,' and they are right. Summer or winter, a cloud in the sky is rare enough to attract attention." Dancing and Oratory. There is a certain member of the present House of Commons—for obvious reasons he shall be nameless— who is a good deal of a gay Lothario. You see him, day ulter day. perched up in the Speaker's Gallery beside some fair one, his head gallantly bent, his whole attitude one of respectful admiration and devotion. Among his other accomplishments, and the one he holds in highest regard, is that of dancing. He has a lofty reputation for this, and practices it on every possible occasion- incidentally, he does it very, very weli. Now, once upon a time there was a big dance in Ottawa, one of those gorgeous affair.- that are fairly common In an official centre like Canada's capital. Member X was invited, and had a fine time. It so happened that several newspaper correspondents were there, too, and one of them heard a lot about X's ability in the Terpslchorean line. Copy was scarce, he made a little story about it, and next day forgot the whale thing. Chance so directed things that the next day X had to make a speech about something or other. It was rather a good speech, and the papers gave him plenty of space. When this happens it sometimes happens that the man who gets the notice buys a number of copies of the paper which he thinks has treated his speech in the best way. X bought papers all right, he bought one hundred copies of the paper which had printed the little eulogy of his dancing. Here's the beauty of it though, he ordered one hundred copies of the issue containing the description of his dancing, not the one that told about his speech. It wasn't any mistake either. He was ten times as proud of that little story about the hit he made on the ballroom floor as he was about the big one on his success on the floor of the House. Funny people in the world. A Tour of Inspection. The Dominion Department of Mines has made a curious discovery in regard to the Canadian market for non- metallic mineral products, ln a report by Howell Frechette, it is stated that Canadian industries import large quantity of many non-metallic mineral, raw or partly manufactured, while the greater part ol Canadian production of these is exported. The Department proposes to send Mr. Frechette on a tour of discovery In Canadian manufacturing districts, to learn what minerals are used. Certain points in the United States will also be visited with the obiect of studying the manner in which Can- dian minerals are treated before they are shipped back to Canada tor use iu manufactures.

He has been trying to catch up with business under difficulties. He lids been entertained at dinner every night, and at most of the repasts speech-making has been a feature.

Fur Supply. At the recent London sales tiger skius were neglected, of the 82 skius offered only three being sold. Japanese skind met with almost no favor, marten und loi skius remained unsold and only 1,500 mink skins out ol 13,491 found buyers. Only 3,!&0 real und bastard chinchilla skins were off ere . the supply is steadily decreasing, the demand was good aud October, 1910, prices were realized, Only til Falkland Island seal skins were offered; they sold readily. Lottos Island fur seal skins, 2,997, the first offered in a little over twj years, brought high prices. About 10,000 sable skins are marketed each winter in Nicolaevsk, Siberia, at |10 to $50 eieh. The number, however, is decreasing, but it is difficult to say whether from the animals being exterminated or from the failure of the hunters to slay them. The hunting of sables is entirely by natives. During a good season about 1,000 red (ox skins at an average of $4 U $5 euch are sold iu the same oity of Siberia. The bluck fox is source, about 10 skin.s beiug obtained annually, bringing T1C0 to V-bti euch.

Chicago Meat Packers Would Like Free Canadian Cuttle and Extension of Their Monopoly Tbe injurious control of the United Stilton Reef Trust over tbis country would be one of the most dangerous outcomes ol the reciprocity agree* meut if it should be adopted between the States nud Camilla. Particularly would the results Of the Heef Trust regime be dire to Western Canada. The history of tbe Iteef Trust in the United Stnles law courts shows that "the big six" packing companies of Chicago have almost entire control of the producing regions ol tha Western Slates. The United States Iteef Trust is made up of the following firms; Armour i*. Co,, Swift A Co.. Morris A Co., including the Fairbanks Canning Co., the National Packing Compnny, under tlie joint management of Armours, Swifts and Morris'; Swarf,* child & Sulzberger and Cudnhy & Co, The main interests, "tbe big six," as they ure called, control 72 subsidiary packing companies, and these l'i tentacles stretch over the length ami breadth of tlie United States, feeding on the fat of the laud and crushing out life wherever it is convenient. Nearly every year tbe Beef Trust is brought into court for breaking the Sherman nnti-trust aw. There is a case in progress now in the District Court nt Chicago against the Reef Trust for having been accused of being nn illegal combination iu restraint of trade, lt is said the Beef Trust knows no law. Iu previous cuses evidence bas shown that 98 per cent, of alt the cattle killed in leading western centres were slaughtered by the Trust, which it was also shown controlled 75 per cent, of the meat trade in New York, B5 per cent, in Boston, 85 per cent, in Providence, aud in a number of otber important cities from 50 to 00 per cent. In view of this indisputable evidence, it is not difficult to understand the depleted condition of thc rural districts of the Eastern States. Note that 1)5 per cent, of the raw supply in the West is killed by the Trust, which also controls from 50 to 05 per cent, of the meat trade in the large eastern cities. The Beef Trust has thus robbed tlie Eastern farmer of his rightful heritage, the home market in the adjacent large industrial centres. Tlie west nnd the Kast have been hound together in the tight grasp of two tentacles, which have shot out greedily from the huge cen- trnl body ut Chicago. If but nnother tentacle could be extended northwurd and coiled around the producing regions of Canada, what rich blood could be sucked into the heart of tbis massive creature. Tbe Beef Trust exerts its enormous control by getting hold of the railroads nnd then monopolizing sources of raw supply. President Ripley, of the Santa Fe Railroad, in 1005, before the Interstate Commerce Commission said: "The packing house business today is concentrated in so few hands that this fact, together with the keen competition between railroads, practically makes it possible for them to dictute rotes for dressed beef and packing house products." The Beef Trust each dny ships out of Chicago 600 cars of packing house products. Armours alone control over n dozen car lines; they own over 14,000 re- frigerutor cars representing nn investment of $14,000,000 and the owners of these cars besides enjoying special rates, also draw a rental from the railroads for every one of these cars than run over their lines. Swift & Co. for the fiscal yenr ending January, 1009, did $'240,000,000 worth of business. The largest Canadian packing house does n business of about $5,000,000 n yeur. Put both concerns on a free market; would it he n fair deal? Dressed meats and meat products of different kinds enme into Canada from the United States lost year, ending March, 1911, to the extent of over $.1,000,000. The great proportion of these imports came from the Beef Trust and in face of the duties. Reduce the tariff on packing house pro* ducts, as Reciprocity proposes to do, and give the Reef Trust free access to our natural products, and you simply perpetuate and aid a gross evil ns well as imperil the best interests of Canada. LABOR M.P'S WAGES. How Their Salaries Ara Paid al tht Present Tlmt. Should the bill for tbe payment ot $2,000 a year to member* of Parliament go through, it will mean tiiat, in the majority of cases, the income of Labor M.P.'s will be considerably increased. At the present time Labor M.P.'s are paid by Trade Union* for their Pnrliamentcry duties, usually at the ran* of only $1,000 a year. In aonK* cases, however, the unions supplement this $1,000 by a special allowance, varying trom $1,000 to I1.2W. It U proposed, however, ti stop this special payment when salaries are provided from Btate funds. There is no doubt that the cost ot maintaining members of Parliament has proved no small strain on the funds of the Trude Unions throughout iho country. As u matter of fact, it is estimated tbut the pnrty headquarters i* paying at the rule of $40,1)00 a year in M.P.'s salaries, und iu addition they have spent an average ol $-50, ooo on euch of the last three general elections. This expenditure bus hlth ■rto been met by a levy of twopence per member per annum ou the total membership of the aril Hated societies! md it may be recalled that it wu* this compulsory levy which, in 1009 led to the now famous Osborne judg ment, when it wus decided by the courts thut such levies were Illegal, A newspaper correspondent, writing to The Times, mentions that when the Labor party was first formed the levy whs one penny per beud, but it was tuuud ueeessury tu incivuse it in 1007 Io the present figure, it is sUgK'^d thut if Labor members ure paid $2,000 a year by the state, the levy might aguin be reduced to oue penny. It is, however, unlikely tbut this will be doue, for the simple reusoti thut payment of members will naturally afford the Labor party un opportunity lor increasing tne number of Labor candidates at future elections. There is one fact regarding the Labor M.P. of which the public is not generally awure. At the present time most of the unions claim the right to tuke their Parliamentary representatives away frorr their duties nt Westminster from time to time to attend to organizing work for the unions, and unless this practice is stopped the Labor party may be accused of receiving salaries for its M.P.'s for such work in connection witli tbeir unions instead of political work at Westminster. It is proposed, however, to stop this practice, against which protests have been unde by the party leaders themselves.—Tit-Bits. futicura V> OINTMENT The check which the comely young German woman handed in at the window of u Walnut street savings fund bunk the other duy was made payable to Gretchon H.

All ten seem to have possessed the sn uncharacteristic, for wben Lord Welleslcy was assured by Sir John that he and three brothers had once met together in India the Governor-General declared it to be 'impossible—quite impossible!'

King Edward Was the First Bearded Monarch In 300 Years. | It was often remarked at the acces- ' non ot Kdwurd VII. that be was tha tir-t bearded King tor nearly three hundred yeur*. The tll-tated King 1 Charles I. was his immediate predecessor in this respect, and he came to thi? Ihorne iu ltii*5, whereas the lata King succeeded his mother in 1901. Churles was the last of the Kings for a very long time to represent the Elizabethan or Shikespeareau tashiou uf the pointed heard uud to wear his own hair on his head. Cromwell, the uncrowned Kiug ot Euglund, certainly wore no wig like the long line uf his successors; but, though he wore his own liuir, he wore it pretty long. Churles 11. wore a tremendous wig, curled in a hundred ringlets, but tlie only hair on his face was u slight moustache. None of his successors until Edward VII boasted even that. Both beards and mous* laches went clean out ol fashion, aud James 11., Willinm UL, all the (Jeorges, nud William IV. were just as cleanshaven us ull the rest of their masculine subjects. There was a time when a beard hud not L-en seeti iu England within living memory I lu Wearing a beurd Charles 1. followed the example of hli lather James, and, as he wus a Scottish before he wua an English 1 .ng, he probably followed the fashion of his pre* deuaMori iu the northern kingdom, for he was preceded by two Queens e.id a boy King, nud had uo precedent in this respect to follow, even if he d sired oue. Henry VIII., nearly a hundred yara before James l.'s time, hud beeu as much an innovator iu respect to whiskers as 'ard VIl. wus; for, like our late King, this much-married monarch could look back upon several bare-faced predecessor*! without a break, lor none of the Kings from Henry V. to Henry VII. wore the least hair upon their laces. Prior to Henry Wa t. .«, however, beards might be said to be Hlmost the rule; and, indeed, from William L, in IUG. to the death of Hen.y IV., iu 1413, no King sat ou the English throne who was clean-shaven. The Conqueror and his two sons aud successors were content with a moustache only, as were Henry II. and Richard II.; but Richard the Lion-Hearted would seem to have mude tha beard fashioiiHble, for his brother Juhn, Henry III., and the first three Edwards entirely gave Ilie re- ir the goby. Thus, though George V. is the flrst of bis name to wear a beard. Edward VII. wus only lollowing the example of his most famous predecessors. Thus out of the thirty-three Kings vf. • have ruled in England, the beard- wearers und the clean-shuven almost provide a tie, for there u.j thirteen of the former und fourteen of the latter. Six Kings wore moustaches. Beggar—"Please, mister, a dime for a poor blind man."

The old stories about mermaids do not seem so improbable ufter all when oue looks at a lull-sized dugong. The ouly thing it lucks to muke it a real seawomau is long hair. This enormous tish has flippers instead of fins, and rudimentary arms. The Hipper-! end iu tour distinct fingers, and are sfurtlingly like the human hand. Tin shoulders of tins weird marine crea ture slope into a short but perfectly defined neck, ou which is set a round head. The eyes ure l..te a human being's in shape and expression, but very much larger. They are set 'nr apart on each side of the head, and have a brown iris swimming iu a wnite bull, but nre lidless. The dugong bus no nose, but the forehead is broad uud well developed, aud while the mouth is "fishy" iu shape, there is a distinct under lip. Ihe dugong is twice the height of a tail uiuu when it is full grown, and a mother dugong moving about through the water holds her buby tenderly in her "arms" pressed to her breast, just as a human mother does.

The Census The census for the Crauhrook district has been completed, and jud'giug from the result, as spoken of around town, it will not be satisfactory to Cranbrook. It ls said that the population of the city will he iu the Vi fin ity of ;i,oini yet within a radius uf half a mile there is a population of 1,000 to 1,500 the most of them em ployed in the city, which are counted in the district. The Y. M. O. A.. the telegraph, and laud department, also the townsite company's building are ou the west side of Van Home street, occupied by 75 inmates, will he counted as lu tbe district, hut Cranbrook will not have them counted as part of thc population of the city. This also applies to thone residing In the vicinity or tbe Sash & Door factory, and those east of town on St. Joseph's creek, afso tbose on the hill south of town. We are of the opinion that if these were counted as Cranbrook, tho population would he close to 5,0000. In referring to this outlying portion we might say that thc whole of this area was formerly plotted as Cranbrook, but when the city was incorporated, the lines of the municipality were adjusted to only take tn the more thickly settled portion or thc original plan of Cranhrook. son Douglas lu rapidly recovering bis health.
