THURSDAY, MARCH llth, 1915 MAR 1 Cms NUMBER 10 KM OF Mil III EDISON THEATRE A. E. Walls Insults Speakers Who Immediately Leave tlio Meet fair Last Saturday evening's meeting on "Patriotism and Production" whieh was being held under the ami trices of tho Dominion Department of Agriculture at thc Edition theatre wob broken up in disorder by tbe attempt of A. B, Watta to Interject polities Into tho meeting nnd his Insulting remarks to thc speakers of the evening. Thc meeting wns a public one nnd was for tlie purpose of Inculcating patriotic hope mitl more determined efforts on the part of the agriculturists of thu Dominion for production this year. The meeting was secured for Cranbrook through apodal representations made by tbo Farmers' Institute and thc Board of Trade, which organizations brought every argument to bear to persuade the authorities that such a meeting was needed here. There were about oue hundred farmers and live stock men from points far distant from Cranbrook, who had travelled many miles to hear the speakers and, if possible, acquire some ' knowledge of benefit to thorn in their vocation. Thc meeting was broken off just at the most Interesting part when Information of 'value to the district was to be given by Mr. Moore by the frenzied desire of the Pooh Bah of Wattsburg to shine in the limelight. To say that he bas won the contempt of every farmer and stock raiaer in this district by his Ignorant and uncalled for attack on the men who were striving to Impart knowledge, is telling a grave truth lightly. His actions at this meeting wero a disgrace to the fair name of Cranbrook and should be resented by every fair-minded citizen. This sort of thing must stop and the place to stop lt ls at the door before a public meeting begins. If he desires to go into vaudeville tiiere are several circuits that might sign him The effects of this meeting will be far-reaching and it is not likely that Cranbrook wlll again be favored by any Provincial or Dominion speaker, but will probably bc left out In the cold on all future provincial programs. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Bowness, who flrst gave a brief outline of thc objects of the campaign, of which three hundred and fifty similar gatherings were being held throughout Canada. He emphasised the fact that this was a non- political meeting. He first introduced Mr. Cuthbert ot Victoria, industrial and publicity commissioner for that city. This speaker outlined their work through this province. They had started as a trio, but Prof. Macdonald was called back from Creston to the coast. They had found conditions ln the Interior very satisfactory and had met with some live optimists since they had come Into the Cranbrook district. Mr. Cuthbert stated that he was at present connected with an association at Victoria organized for thc purpose of promoting home consumption of Victoria*made ami Canadian-made goods. They had recently held a Made-ln-Vlcloria show, which had proven a surprise to everyone, Over forty firms were refused space In tho show because there was no space to sparo, Thc recently started public market In Victoria, said the speakor, bus not only reducing the cost of living but hns really proven a God-send to many farmers In that country. They started with thirteen stall holders, which had Inter developed Into sixty-four with a dally average of about fifty. Farmers had told him that it' he would keep the market going for one year they would raise three times ns much produce. He was gltid that Cranbrook hail started a market ami advised the farmers to do everything to keep It going. It would enable them lo raise three times as much.! and get the money for iheir produce, I In Victoria, continued the speaker, vacant lots were being leaned free to ! those who would cultivate Mr. Cuthbert then undertook to i show how the war came about, the' part the empire played In the days ' Just before thc war, what the war means to Canada and the part the people who stay at homo must play ; l'ity aldermen, so ns to assist those at the front. the purchase-at-home of Canadian made goods. Mayor Bowness read a late newspaper dispatch from Victoria containing some of the provisions being made in a bill for loans to farmers by the McBride government. He then Introduced Mr. Moore, manager of thc Dominion experimental farm at Agassis. Mr. Moore started by saying that he had advocated live stock for years. At present tiiere was a scarcity of live stock ln the world. Recent figures shown proved that in a decade Canada's population had Increased 34 per cent, while llve stock had Increased 17 per cent. The city population hnd increased 62 per cent tad the country population 17 per cent. Thero Is six million head of cattle ln Canada and 134,000 hi British Columbia. There aro 345,000 hogs ln Canada and 30,000 ln British Columbia. On account of capital and labor conditions this year Intensive cultivation must be the order rather than extensive cultivation. In order to get the most value out of high-priced land lho farmer must practice rotation, said tiie Bpeaker. We have practiced throe-year rotation at the farm which has proven most successful, thut ls, flrst year, mangels or corn; second year, grain crop; third year, clover or some hay crop. If a four- year rotation ls desired use for posture in fourth year. Mr. Moore referred to two most important farm requisites, If farming is to be carried out successfully, naming silos and alfalfa. He said he would reserve liis voice for questions, as he had been having trouble with his throat on this trip. He stated that he would try to answer any question, and that the question part of their meetings had proven the most Interesting and valuable, as lt brought out the needs of the particular locality. Mayor Bowness called on Mr. Bam Macdonald for any question. Mr. Macdonald started to give particulars of some of the distress on farms In this district and was cautioned by Mayor Bowness about making a speech. Mr. Macdonald started to resume when Mr. Watts launched himself into the argument. With a tirade of abuse aud villlficatlon he went after the speakers, the provincial and Dominion governments. He defied (bt chairman and wished to call him to order. Ho referred to the speakers as a couple of political heelers, who were going through the country talking optimism, which he labelled He said, "There are hundreds of huB' gry people ln this district, smokeless chimneys, deserted farms and empty houses. The time Is coming when the sovereign people will speak and they will put political heelers in their place. When people are hungry they wlll speak and sometimes they speak too loudly." He bragged about the quantity of gall he possessed. He then said that the night before that the local Conservative politicians had met In secret caucus and had proposed a resolution for presentation at this meeting. Then he said, "I am going to read this resolution. If not with the consent of your chairman, then without it." Mayor Howness interrupted at this point nnd told Mr. Watts that the people of Cranbrook had beard all he knew years ago. That he had practiced coming Into Cranbrook and taking possession of meetings and he in- THK RIGHT MAX IN THK RIGHT PLACE A. K. Leitch Doing Ever)tiling Possible to Secure Government Aid tor Wood lllstllla Ion Plant (Correspondence) Press Gallery, Victoria, B. C, March 8.—There have been many delegations from the interior of British Columbia who have vlBlted Victoria during the session of parliament, to advance some movement for their town or district. Yet, it Is easy to venture tbe assertion tliat thero has been more diligent, more painstaking. more persistent than tho one composed of Mr, A. K. Lettch, manager of tho Kast Kootenay Lumber Co., and H. C. Moore, of Blairmore, Alta., ox- pert on the process of of distillation of stumps and securing therefrom valuable by-products, a value In fact that would enable thc average farmer to clear his land free of cost from the sale of such stumps to a plant of this character. These two gentlemen have worked early and late, meeting ministers time and again, holding con ferences with different members, and securing through the Cranbrook mem ber, Mr .T. Caven, a presentation of the facts In the bouse. This attracted the attention of many wbo had heard of the process but did not fully appreciate the value of the process to the farmer, thc details of the work, or the general benefits to both the town and district where such plants were located. Before tbe arrival of Messrs. Leitch and Moore, the matter was simply a mystery, today It ls a live, pulsating economic subject, that Is Interesting not only the members of parliament but the people generally as well. Those back of this Important movement did well in their selection of their representatives, and the representatives were a credit to the district of Cranbrook. If they do not succeed In getting all that they wanted, they have secured the sincere interest of the government and the government and tiie members, as well sb farmers who see tbat in such a process tjiere ls profits for the man who has been confronted by the heavy cost of clearing timbered lands. Mr. Leitch also took up the question of a tax on lumber and this matter he pushed as fur as any man could do, and no man was better fitted for this peculiar mission. What will be done tn this matter is yet a eonjec- '; j ture, as governments, no matter whether they bc Liberal or Conservative, are loath to move too hastily on any endorsement, nnd that ls all the provincial government could do. Mr. Caven made a strong plea for enforcing the carrying of Canadian tonnage over Canndlan roads, and called attention to the fact tbat right in Cranbrook 42 crews were laid off by the C.P.R. because much of the freight was being transported by the Oreat Northern through the States, thus employing the laboring men In the states and depriving the Canadian laboring man of the employment he should be entitled to.

M. C. The Athletics scored their second consecutive victory when they, took thc Beavers Jn Its camp Monday night at tbe Young Men's Club, by the score of 30—21. As usual the game was very fast and exciting and kept the large crowd on their feet yelling tor the favorites. The preliminary between the Early Birds and Night Hawks resulted In a win for the former by the score of 15—10. The teams put up an exciting contest and were loudly applauded for their strenuous efforts. The Athletics rushed matters from tbe first and by some clever and fortunate shooting ran up a lead of several points, while the Beavers were missing the baskets from all angles. Half time saw the score standing 19—6 In favor of the Athletics. The Beavers began to work early In the second half and their attempt to cut down their .rival's lead gained the applause ot the audience.. Ashworth did some great work equalling the display of Mcllwalne In the first half. But tbo Athletics were much awake also and when the final whistle blew had a lead of nine points.

After what happened Saturday night it looks as If Kast Kootenay's great i philosopher and "widow's friend" ' was nearing the end of his rope. Several young ladies around town the following statement will enable your readers to make comparisons and draw their own conclusions. My estimate provided a much larger system than Is being Installed. I provided a 24" intake at tbe reservoir, with an auxiliary main and equalizers, also mains throughout tbe city of a proportionate capacity, whereas 12,400 ft. of 4" mains were estimated for and are now being laid. Recording meters, tn suitable inspection pits, were provided, so that the consumption could be ascertained and recorded. Every block In tbe city waB sec- tlonlzed. Sixty fire hydrants were provided. A reinforced concrete dam with telescopic Intake valves and sluices was Included in the estimate as well as the deepening of the reservoir to Increase tbe capacity, and most Important of all In preparing my estimates I provided means of sufficient capacity to supply Slaterville and tbe townslte, whenever these two districts were Incorporated, without the city having to spend a single cent control, had already been expended when I took hold of the department. I made and was responsible for the 1914 estimates. Now as regards the work done ou Edwards street ln 1914, with the exception of the removal of dirt, etc., thc grading and gravelling wlll have to be done again owing to tbe laying of the new mains. It practical experience and a regard to the expenditure of tbe ratepayers' money had been considered this work should not have been done till after the water mains had been laid. With the exception of the cost of removing dirt, etc., no details are given by Mr. Horlo of the cost of grading and gravelling, so am unable to place before you the approximate amount ot money wasted on this one piece of work alone. The 1913 council wcre fully alive to the necessity of grading and making up the roads, but tbey would not sanction tbe expenditure of a cent more than was absolutely necessary to maintain tbo roads, realising the sort of play don't go uny more with the Inbortng man. He has been lied to und cheated until he is sick of the whole arrangement. What he wants is eight hours work, eight hours sleep nnd eight hours to do what he feels like.

Why didn't he agitate long and loudly the length and breadth of this session until he had made some impression, and secured some results? We are fully advised that he Is a candidate and the fact that Thomas made a speech may mean his re-election providing that Is ull the electorate of this district want, u member whose orntory becomes unloosened just before election and who Is the most capable sphinx ln the house during the remainder of seven sessions.

I have not the details ot the 1912 expenditure, but as concrete sidewalks were put down in that year and posslbbly other Items which would have to be eliminated, reducing the $14,648.14 very considerably. I have no doubt It could then compare very favorably wltli the 1914 expenditure. 1 was not responsible for the 1913 estimates, as they had been made and passed by council before I entered on my duties on the 10th April, 1913, and ■ prajportUo our whicb I had aw provide tor paying organization expenses, which legalizes the paying to me of $31.10 for printing but does not make legal the $200 given to Christian aB a first payment on his plant. No payment to hlm outside ot Ills printing and commission on sales ot stock can be anything else but a misappropriation of funds when thc company did not materialize. 6. Invermere residents did not wish to subscribe for stock unless they could have a plant (branch) there. So I took all their signatures conditionally, and had them write conditional across the face of their notes and on returning submitted these notes anil the conditions to thc directors. This Is what the Watts-Clirlstlon letter calls misrepresentation. T. President Watts openly stated at general meeting that thcro had been no misrepresentation, but that thej Bcrv|cc cries of such were cries of those who ' " .,,.,„, we,, trying to get out of paying I a,,nday 8t " "", their notes. 8.
