Orange Lodge, and tbe Canadian Order of Chosen Friends, it was arranged to hold an Entertainment in Sast's hall on Tuesday evening next, 19th inst, in honor of the ReV. N. E.

Mr. Bead has been called to another mission and will shortly depart * from us,., leaving behind him many ~'t1'ien.da who deplore his departure!

This school building is a credit to Crestou aud will undoubtedly provide ample school accom- mo��**3**on for some time to come. There is a sidewalk completed now right up to the school, so that in wet weather chil- * v. dren can have no excuse for not attending school. The Fernie Free Press says: "Creston, B.C., has a Bpard of Trade that is alive to the interest of the community.

Wonder Workers "Work" Creston "Woga I-Toga," wonder workers, was the name of an aggregation of "artistes" who occupied tbe boards at the new opera house on* Monday night. Briefly summed up the show was punk. There were three he's and two she's in the company. One of the former acted as "angel," and the other two posed as magicians. One of the ladies operated the piano, and it was a decidedly painful operation for the audience. There are children in town under ten years of age who could givo that lady many pointers. The other lady tried to square herself as a comedienne, but* the attempt was miserable as she forgot her lines and igno- miniously broke down. The first trick of the "wonder workers" was that -old- box stunt, whert-in one man-is tied in a sack and then locked in a trick box frOni which he ma-cog ais escape iu a few Becouds, and his confederate takes his place. To their credit, be it noted, this was pretty slick, and the audience applauded and thought that if that was a preliminary, then they were in for a good time. But the*1* were doomed." The remainder of the stunts were such that an amateur would blush to perform, and they were so clumsily executed that even tho kids in ihe i'ruut ro'w got "sassy" and passed rude remarks. The premier event on tho oard was a thought reading episode, but it was rotten. If tho hold-up' gang could roally havo road the thoughts of their audience, thoy could decipher among the grey matter, "I want my money bock." It was a rolief when the young lady who is deficiont at tho "flvo-flnger exercise, tried to play "God Savo tho King." "When uoxt tho "Wondor Workers" work Orostou thoro will bo a bunch of boys to rotaliate and rotten eggs will bo a striking foaturo of the entertainniont. ' I<ETHBRlDGE POLICE IS CAPTURED NEAR ORESTON There has been quite a sensation in Oreston the past twenty-four hours over the arrost of one Geo. Welsh, alias Geo. Wells, alias T. McMullen, who is oharged by the Lethbridge authorities with abducting a young girl named Jones and passing hor off as^his wife. , The accused, along with the girl, has been staying iu Creston for the pas^few days. Provincial Magistrate S. A. Speers yesterday swore in as special' constable T. McCreath, in response to a "wire from the Lethbridge police to arrest George Welsh, and McCreath started after the fugitive and after making some enquiries, headed for Kitchener. When, near that station he met the would-be abductor where he was out hunting and carrying a xifie, and the two sien walked back to Kitchener together, when Constable McCreath made the arrest and landed his prisoner back in Creston the samo day. It was a clever capture and Oonstable McOreath deserves great credit tor it. In appearance the accused is tall and ven and has a drooping nose. He is now being held by. Provincial Constable E. ** / Jensen, who was engaged on police duty elsewhere when this arrest was made. It is stated that a police officer .from Lethbridge will arrive here probably on Saturday to take Welsh back to the coal city to stand trial before the-Alberta courtB , Board of Trade effleeting A meeting of the Board of Trado was held on Wednesday evening, Mr. C. O. Rodgars' occupying the chair. After communications and bills had passed, the Board proceeded to "Unfinished Business." Tne question of the unpaid expenses of ths delegates to ths Trail Convention was taken up. A committee of one was appointed to take up subscriptions to meet these expenses. On th6 matter of the appointment of i a sub-collector, a motion to tbe effect that Oreston, in view of the -growing importance of the district, should be a sub-port-was carried unanimously, same to be "submitted by the secretary to the proper authorities. On tU8 question of fire protection it was resolved that the secretary wait up- .on the Waterworks Co. and ascertain what facilities they could offer for the provision of hydrants or stand pipes in certain central places. Ic was also resolved to seek the assistance of the O. P. R. by arranging for their water supply to be at our disposal for fire protection purposes only. A general citizen's meeting was called for Wednesday next the 20th insr., at 8 p m. in the Mercantile Hall, so that the citizens might voice their opinions on this matter. MRS Tl ERECT A URGE WAREHOUSE A valuable addition to the social life in Creston is shortly to be inaugurated when the Canadian Biograph Company with a first-class moving picture show, under expert management, commence business in Bast's Hall.

DEPOT���GOVERNMENT yfllaj ASSIST TO CARRY OUT PROPSOED BUILDING The friiit growers' association of Ores- ton have secured a suitable location on the railway right of ;way,/soro8B the track from the depot, for the erection of a large wsirehouse. - It is understood that it is.proposed "to build this storehouse of galvanized steel, and to make it at least 60ft. x 75ft. and capable of holding at least ten carloads of fruit. It is understood that this structure will' be ready for use in time for next season5* fruit crop, when it is fully expected that Oreston will ship at least a dozen cars of fruit. It is also stated that the B.O. Government will advance the necessary funds to erect this warehouse, charging the frui>? growers simply a low rate of inter-* est on the money. *-��� A local fruit authority ia responsible for the statement that tho shipmonts of fruit from Croston will at leaet double from now on. This being tho case, one can readily see that it is absolutely nscessary to have this warehouse 00m- pleted before next season's shipments. 1 tlf^My.hir'l^-.' Greston jLumber cManufactoring Co.

Indignation runs high in Oreston and the general feeling is that if the man is guilty of the oharge laid against him he should bo severely-doalt with and should receive a good lashing in addition to his other sontonoo for committing suoh a dastardly outrago o*i the daughter of rospootable Alberta parents. ( There will be a masa mooting of oiti- zons hold in the Mercantile hall on Wednesday evening next at 8k. to discuss tho question of firo protection for Oreston. TIub is an important matter and all rosi- do'uts of Oreston should be represented on this ootasion, The Canadian Biograph Oo., baoked by ample looal capital, and with the arrangements which they are making to meet this want in Greston by expending. money on an up-to-date machine with a' first-class service, of films will, wo ore sure, command from, the outset the support which is always forthcoming in Oreston to purveyors of olean, refined amusement. We'have it on the authority of the promoters that the show will be strictly high olasii, that ladies and children will be especially catered for, and that as much as possible of the proceeds of the enterprise will bo distributed in the way of business amoag the local tradesmen. It-is expected tbat the show will commence in November, but tho usual nnnounooments will bo made at a later date. - * Dr. Prof. Kilpatrick, of Toronto, who was bore last spring in connection with the Kootenay ovangelistio campaign, has sent out a most handnomo ohuroh boll w a gift to St. Stephen's now Presbyterian church.

In this connection it may ��e stated that s when Mr. Mackie recently offered to run any white man for the championship above-named, ao prize was mentioned, he oonsidesing that' the honor, of. the race was snfficien h. reward * for contesting the mile race. Therefore,, if young Mr. Nute wants to run he will have to run for the championship only. James H. Schofield, M.P.P., arrived ,in town last Monday. Mr. Sohofield, accompanied by R. G.

There are on *au average every year about fifteen hundred new contrivances patented. The greater number of these are naturally enough intended for ihe use of their own sex, aUhough there are such occasional exceptions. Other recent forms of their inventive skill when it soared far beyond the needs of mere women were shown in au automobile, a steam engine and a flying machine.

They go once a week, sometimes daily, and while their patrons are in. the hands of the hair dresser, their maid or even their dressmakers, they talk to them about the interesting affairs of the day, telling them just what is netv in polities, art and literature.

If such shoes could be reserved for the house and girls wear well shaped walking boots out of doors they would, not only be more graceful but would find more pleasure in walking'���������which as an exercise has much to commend it. Three suggestions will help any one who wishes -to walk gracefully and with the alertness which is characteristic of youth: the forward foot should point practically straight (the strongest position in supporting weight); the back foot should push the bodv | forward; the chest should be high I and forward. As long as we live Ave must hold ourselves up by muscular effort, and when we have learned the matter responds quickly to tho" pendulum- like swin*" of the le" from th������ hip and the harmonious yet very slight swing of the arm.

When all of tbe fruit is thus treated measure the juice aud place in n kettle and put over the fire to cook. Measure one cupful of sugar for every cupful -of juice, putting on the stove or in the oven where it will become hot, but do not let it scorch. Let ihcjuxee boil for about eight minutes and skim, then add the hot sugar, bring to a boil, and cook one minute more. The color and flavor of the fruit is much better preserved by this plan than by the more tedious process. From beginning'to end it will take less than an hour to make the jelly.

This way of doing saves one the awkward task of dipping up the hot fruit into the bag and often scalding one's self in so doing*. When boiled sufficiently the bag can be lifted out and set in a porcelain colander, on top of the kettle, to drain, and left there till the next day, if necessary. This is till quickly done and one is saved the trouble of hanging the bag up to drain, fw there never seems to Lk* any place to hang it out of the way.

Da Jerseys. Perched like an eagle on the,oca-beaten cliff, it-stood solitary, bleak and unprepossessing as ever a house oould be.

Hidden away from the world in the dark, dismal rooms of tlie old house, he lived for one thing only���������his infant daughter, u uuild of three months, v.'hc hod lose its toother at its birth. There were many strange stories told of the De Jersey house and the Do Jersey family, but none "wa^mfe'relistrange or. more bore the semblance ot facte than, the belief that events always happened to the De Jerseys in couples. ��������� As thus: When Charles De^JerSey, tho, present George De Jersey's father,'died, he left two eons, Geo-fge and Harold. At the very hour of Ida death his brother and J-heir> unole also died, bequeathing, ""his, property, to his brother's eldest sen,' Charles, who* thus became possessed of the enormous wealth of his father and ���������uncle. ^ . _ '' This was one instance of t^e double event.

Harold, on the contrary, was as dark as-a Moor, with a powerful, well-built frame, large, sinewy hands, straight, sturdy legB and a fdee marfecd WJthf-a de- \ cided, stern expression that betokened a keen, resolute will. From his boyhood George had be-in the weaker, more trus���������ing of the two, ready and anxious to love and be friendly with all who crossed his path or gave him a kind word. ' Harold, ou the other hand, from a child, wore a heavy frown, tm taciturn, sullen and reserved, and repelled with a sneer or a cold disdain every offer of the elder brothel's love. 'As they grew, in years., their, peculiar dispositions strengthened and became hn- * alterable, and it "was a by-word in. ths village that /'George De, Jersey had taken . his 'mother's yielding^ timid nature, leaving the younger, Harold, the steru v misanthropy of his "father." The position of affaire and the ree&p- tion they received from the two brothers ��������� at the period of the father's death may be guessed. > \ * Sitting m the dismal, gluo-ny dining hall, waiting for the doctor's message, the two brothers sat silently ywatehing the door, tearsJstreaming?*dbVU,#he face of the elder, a frown darfeening.-that* of the younger. . ��������� *i-������ ' "Naturally tweJr placs-T'aJ'Jdutiful son-* -would, have -*>een at their ���������father's side in 'that' dark hour, but the dying man had grown delirious and seemed driven mad- by wM-ir,grvsencc; which. tfc-KSf, hil*?X h^d/' such paroxysms ������ae to compel their withdrawal, so they sat there'waiting for the signal.

Harold stood like a dark statue beside the largo fireplace, one powerful arm resting on the thick marble slab, the other pressed against his side as if to still the beatings of hia iwvgu-t, which he feared needlessly would show tlun- slves in his lowering eyes. Clearing his throat and glancing keenly at the two brothers, the lawyer commenced reading: First there were two thousand pounds for the restoration of the village church. Harold turned aside with, an impatient sneer. "Next came a list of legacies to each and all of "my faithful servants." Then���������-and ��������� as he 'approached it ths old lawyer's Voice trembled���������followed a long passage describing his elder son in- terms of endearment and affection, and winding up with tbe momentous words: "To him I will and bequeath the residue in lands, money and all other property -iwlio*raAo**f/i.,n T ���������nft'-fl/iQ'O ** *% 4IMVUVV V 1-* .*, pi/UI^CvNI And that was all.

As lie stood beside tho bed, gluing at \ tho wan, pain-marked faoo of hia darling wifn, and at tho' tiny little bios knew an angel had left him, for his wife was dead. Then the man's weak, womanly nature showed itself. ,~ For weeks he was as much out oi the-l world as in it. JDeiirious, wandering, -weakened ���������by ftever and mental agony, he shivered <t-n tlio brink of the shadow of death, with one slander thread to hind him to HfeC That thread, held by the tiny fingers of his baby girl, was strong enough to hold him to earth. ,J * Ho recovered slowly, with a shattered constitution and a mind so shaken and enfeebled as to admit of, nothing but the aspect of a darkened room aud tha infantile cries of his little child. The winter wore away, the summer, tardy and long in traveling, camo at last. George "De Jersey, then pule and bent, was sitting in the straight-backed chair beside the huge fireplace, gazing now at the bright fire, whicu was kept alight summer and winter, and now at the sleeping idol of his heart, that lay like a hothouse flower in the'cradle ot lace and fine linen at has feet. In the corner of the room sat the nurse, sleeping. The soft summer breeze swept through the trees that brushed**-tb& window, and tried -to force its way, in a gentle, friendly manner, through t-he dark,--heavy curtains- of the Hall. - - ��������� All was still save the falling, of. the burning coals. Suddenly the marble hall resounded with the thunder of the huge knocker -and'the clanging of the house hell. The nurse'started with a cry-from her sleep, tho child awoke and stretched its arms, ��������� nnd George De Jers-ey turned'a, pals face and startled eyes toward-the door. In a few minutes heavy footsteps were heard pacing the marble hall, the door was opened with a vigorous "push, and the figure of Harold De Jersey en^ tered, bearing something like a bundle beneath his cloak. "Harold!" gasped the elder brother, with the first instinct" dropping his cloak over the cradle and its pretty occupant and clinging to his chair with spasmodic energy. "Harold,, is it you?" "Ay, George, ft is I," replied Harold De Jersey, sinking into a seat and fixing his stern gaze upon the worn, shrunken ������jace of the master of the Ball with a scrutiny from which the other quailed. "Ay.'it is I. Are you glad to see me?'* "Yes, yes," replied George, holding out his hand with a vacant look. "Yes, yes," sinking into a chair. "Give me time���������" give me time���������"���������-" "Take your own time, orother," replied Harold, in a voice ������**, little softened and a little hesitating at the first word ���������one he had not used for years. "You are doubtless surprised to see me. Do you wish to know what brings mc here?'* "Goo"d���������-I hopa^���������good���������good," faintly murmured his brother. Harold frowned. ' '* "Well���������good. That is what" brings me here." And with a sudden gesture he flung his coat aside and held forth a blooming, ! healthy-looking bo-*"*.' "A child." said "George, in trembling accents. -"Harold, when were you mar- Tied?" * "' " ** ' "Twelve montlis ago." "The day?" a&ked George, eagerly. * "June 20th," replied Harold". , t - "The same'*day, the same day." gasped Beorge De Jersey, sinking'into his chair, from which he had arisen, to look at the child. "And she, the mother?'''he asked; "Dead!" replied Harold, * "a month ago." , "Ah, powers of heaven!" moaned tho elder brother. "This is a.judgment upon us both, Harold, look!" And with a trembling hand he quickly pulled the covering from the cradle. Harold Oo Jersey shot one glance at the cradle, thon, turning livid as death, uttered a cry of despair: "Your child, George?" "Minol" cried George. "Mine, Harold, We wero married on*tho same day, my child was born on tho same day as yours. Uoth mothers died " Ilore ho broke down and fainted away. On the morrow it was known that Harold Do Jersey had returned to the Hall with an infant Bon, and that the shock of his sudden return imd again thrown his brother's Hfo tlnto danger. ' Then it was concluded that J.ho older brother would die, and tho tenants woro particularly polite and attentive to Mr. Harold Do Jersey, who had taken upon himself the management of "tlio estato during his brother's illness, and whom thoy already looked upon us their now lord and master, "Hut onco moro tho feohlo man recovered, and onco mori sat bosido the firo with his darling lying at hia side and his \dnrk brother sitting Opposite, ������ Tliey talked but soldoin, and never of tho i past.���������*, Indeed, Goorgo Do Jorsoy's memory had completely lort him in' hia last illncaa, and ho had only ono ploafluro and , occupation loft��������� w������tolling with loving, earnest eyes tho ohlld nngohhls dead wlfo had loft him. A fow wockn later a dreadful rumor hovorod about Iho Hah. It was mild shrieked again, and in accents of the wildest terror he besought him. ��������� to begone, yelling that a fiend in bright steel armor had appeared to him and. threatened both their lives. Harold shook his head with a deep sigh, and, bendircg over the bed, said in tones that tried in vain to be soft and gentle: ''George, George, be calm; it is nothing; it has gone now." , Then, turning to the group of ser-< vanta, lie said, in a.low voice: "��������� "It is the picture of the niarf'in armor | ia the gallery; his mind is wandering," - After a little while thoy succeeded in soothing him. jand after he had'dropped into a doze, Harold told them, to return 'to their rooms. Beluetantly���������for their J master's gentle manner and great sorrow hod won their love���������the servants withdrew. One woman, who had acted as a sort of nurse, came back to trim the lamps, and as she did she fancied she saw beneath tlie heavy robe thrown -around Harold De Jersey the glitter of some .bright subsance like steel. Before she could look again more keenly, .Harold clasped the robe roote elosely around him and bade her go,' and she, ���������persuading herself that her eyes and the dim light had deceived her excited wwises.- joined the others, saying nothing about the strange glitter. T"he next moraine* she was ordered to place the little girl beside the invalid, and, grateful to her master's brother for his thoughtfulness, was more convinced than ever that the vague suspicions she had entertained were groundless and unnatural. Three nights after this the terrible screams'rang through the house again, and once more they found the invalid lying upon the ground. This, time he was Violent, 'and tried to keep them all, even his brother, from the bed, while the child lay, sobbing and screaming. It was many hours before they could leajrn the cause of his fright, and this time his strange assertion that ������, white- robed figure with a ghastly face had appeared and tried to snatch the child D6u was indeed mad. The following morning Harold De Jersey drove post-haste to London, and returned, accompanied by a grave-looking gentleman, in black. There was a long conference in the gloomy dining- room, at whioh the nurse, by Harold's orders, and the country doctor who hod attended poor George De Jersey, were "present. Then the London doctor made a visit to the sick room. As he entered (ZfG-ps "D-J .Terse'������* raised himself^ upon his elbow, and with one arm around the sleeping child, gazed with painful scrutiny upon his face. He spoke no .word, and as the doctor talked in measured, soothing accents, his gaze lost its fixedness and grew vacant. The doctor returned to the dining- room, and, witn a deep, professional sigh, signed a paper, "which. hev handecL. to Harold De Jersey. , It was a certificate of lunacy, and gave power to Harold x>e Jersey to confine his brother in a private- lunatic In two * days it was ,t arranged that measures should "be taken for removing the ^unfortunate man, who seemed suddenly-to have regained strength,enough to undergo the journey. ,The last night came. ,;/- Harold De Jersey stood beside ' the bed looking down upon the thih, white face with a strange, stern frown. ~\ In his ,arms he held his baby fion.'

Mr. Daniel'Nickelboy kept a chandler's "shop, and was as well known within a three-mile radius of Great Snoram- street'as St. Paul's is to tbe residents of Cheapside. Not r.only -was Mr. Daniel Nickelboy" knownj but he was respected, and it was the general opinion of his customers and friends���������who, indeed, werejone and. the same���������that a beiter-hearted old hoy than Dan did not nor eveT possibly could exist; . Basking in the sunshine of popular favor' and a good business, Mr/ Nickel- boy took the world as it came at all times and" at ail Seasons, with a com- { fortably prosperous front, white waistcoat "and satin stock, and a perpetual smile of simple good humor that, if it did not melt the butter, cheese and candles he dispensed, certainly should have added ib their excellent flavor, and pow- .ers 'of illumination. One showy night, as the clock chimed the half after eleven, good old Dan emerged from his little shop bearing a shutter in his bands aud humming the fag end of a song," proceeded to shut ���������������������������up���������a performance usually left to the errand boy, who, however^ to-night had been allowed/* to eo home���������as it was his mother's birthday, and partake in a ceremony known among the Great Snoramites" aa "tripe and onions," that savory dish being considered the proper diet on such occasions. There were eight shutters in Mr. Nicklc- boy's shop, and Mr. Dan was putting up the last when a sudden cry ringing through the silent and deserted street caused him to drop the heavy shutter arid turn, 'with a look of alarm in the* j direction whence the sound had proceeded. At that moment 'a heavy fall of snow commenced and blottoed out the prospect, not on any night greatly lit up hy the row of dim gas knaps, and Mr. Nickelboy, seeing nothing, concluded that the cry had come from some intoxicated wayfarer, who had fallen into the hands of his natural guardians, the police. But before Mr. Nickelboy could pick the shu*cter from* the ground, the sharp cry, weaker and fainter this time, rang out once more, and now, thoroughly astonished and alarmed, he dropped the shutter and started off in the direction of the sound. - After a minute's running he heard the j cry again, and, turning 'the corner, came 1 upon so strange a sight thai; the cry for help died on his lips, and he could do nothing but stand and stare, wringing his hands helplessly and looking thiB way and that, or assistance. " , What Mr. Nickelboy saw * under the light .of the f Uc-kering gas lamp were ihe figures of two * men, struggling and wrestling with the utmost fury and violence. Both were dressed like gentlemen, and wore the'heavy,-dark cloaks that weTe the fashion of the day. . , jtTo be continued.} ���������"���������������������*������ -���������- ���������"��������� - E Anaemia.

The recent fire in Creston brings seriously home to our business men the necessity for having hydrants placed in good positions in the business district to enable us to cope with such outbreaks. The provision of such hydrants and also of a suitable hose of sufficient calibre to be of use must not remain anv longer in abeyance. Every wee'lc the town is concentrating, more valuable buildings are goings up, and the danger of loss bv fire correspondingly increased. Thanks to the promptitude with which private citizens hastened to do their share, the fire was soon put out; but if the blaze had got a little niore headway beforey being dis-., covered, the old-fashioned methods, which under present circumstances are at pur disposal, would hav������been made* quate to arrest its progress, and a, valuable block of buildings would have been burned to the ground. The sight of a gang of men compelled to resort to a one-inch garden hose and oldrfashioned bucket brigades; in brier to put but a fire ih our principal business'*.district--'was .'not a -*. ory * reassuring one to property holders, and in their own interests as well as in the interest of the town generallx*. it is to be hoped the question oi a more adequate system of fire protection will be immediately taken up; Manufacturers of tho Celobrated i.ako'Shore ISxport.

Instead of using a scarecrow to drive'awa*������* the mflil order wolf, our advice to the local storekeeper is to kill him with his own weapon VAdvertising." Mail order houses spend thousands of dollars every week in their advertising campaigns in order to get trade from the home merchants. Do you think they would keep this up for a moment if they did not find it pay ? The great departmental stores in this and every other country are built up by advertising. They get business by sheer dogged advertising, without having atay personal or local knowledge of the wants of their customers. If Timothy Eaton tomorrow quit advertising his business would speedily be in the hands of the receivers. The local storekeeper takes it for granted that everyone within a radius of twenty-five miles knows what he has to sell. The big store takes nothing for granted but steadily ��������� and systematically, in good times and ih bad, pursues the policy of publicity that ultimately wins out. The public like a sticker. Keep on telling them and iu the end they have to accept it. Every time anyone wants anything they think first of the store whose name is oftenest before their mind and eyes as a result of advertising. Let the public know what you have for sale. , If you have nothing to sell then you have nothing to advertise. Thus by not advertising you give the public the true reason for not doing so. The man who keeps on hammering breaks the stone at last; The persevering tortoise beat the hare which went so fast; The records of great business houses prove how true it is, That the constant advertiser is the tunn who gets the biz. Sir Thomas Lipton started in a little country store; Eaton, Harrod, Whiteley, Simpson, half a hundred more; How did they get their business? Whence came their world wide fame ? They advertised aud beat out those who would not do the same. In every business eutcrprize publicity's the thing That sells your goods at profits high aud brings the dollars in You do uot advertise and goods lie moulding on the shelf, Whilst stores two thousand miles away draw from your town their* wealth.

I Al' i , General Situation *, Oro-tfon "��������������������� a small* but rapidly growing town, Bitunted in the heart of the Kootenaya, about 08 xrtilos west of Oranbrook, on the Crows' Nest extension, of the Canadian Pacific Bailway. It is the premier -fruit growing center of Lhe famous Kootenay fruit lauds, the pride 'of British Columbia. ^ Early Success (with Fruit It is some years since the pioneers of the fruit industry iu Crestou planted the first trees in tiji experimental fashion, with such success that the attention of the settlers began to be exclusively given to tho vast fruit growing possibilities of the district. Rapid Progress of Tcfam and District In the last two shuit years the town, has more than tivebled its population, aa up-to-date weekly pupfcj.* has been started, four churches, *���������*��������� bank, two first-class hotels, a number of stores and many residences have been erected. Sweets have been graded aud a waterworks system, capable of supplying ten thousand people, has been installed, ���������whilst the1 matter of mcoiporation has become a burning quesi-ion. " . ���������*-. Special Factors helping to its Success Creston is built in the valley of the Kootenay river, which valley at this point is about twelve miles wide, and is protected from th������ north winds by Groat mountain and the dupporting ran^e, whilst its southern aspect ensures the maximum" of Bunshine. It is served by two railways, the Crows' Nest branch of the Canadian Pacific Railway and a branch of the Great Northern Baii- way, leaving the main line at Bonners Ferry, thus possessing ample means of' communication. The town, lies midway between and about quarter of a mile from each of the 'two stations. Proximity to Best Sffiarkets Its proximity t,o the Crows' Nest raining district and to the great and constantly expanding market of tho prairie ensures an ever growing field for the sale, of the products of its orchards and market gardens. These are the sight of the neighbourhood. Here can be seen giowing apples, weighing twenty-two ounces, onions, weighing two-and-half pounds, and strawberries, measuring three-and-half inches in* circumference, and weighing four ounces; and the present is only a foretaste of what will be seen when all the land at present uncultivated iB taken up by fruit growers. Prizes toon for Quality against Alt Comers Already the products of Crestou have an International reputation for quality and flavor, having captured first prizes at the Spokane National ,Apple Show in December, 1908, and many first prizes at various local fruit and' vegetable exhibitions, including a clean sweep of first prizes at the Garden Produce and i'ruit Show, held at Cranbrook, on September 14th and 15th, 1909. -* \ ~t4 Creston District in Dollars and Cents ^ The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and to show how fruit and garden products flourish, and to prove the commercial possibilities of the industry in thia district, Mr. O. J. "Wigen, whose fruit farm is near Duck Ureek, in rue" Gueston district, and who has devoted most of 'his time to crowing strawberries, of which he had rather -more than three acres under cultivation, during one season realized over $*1,000 from the, sale of , his berries. Allowing $850 for cultivation of the ground, ������500 for the boxes, and $500 for pioking, these three acres, produced uett to the owner, $3,fi50s or over $880 per acre. Mr. S. Brooks, a . looal rancher, about one mile frouL* Crestou sta- j tion, haB oleared over $1,000 from a single acre of tomatoes, cucumbers and cantaloupe. Young tomato plants do .not need to be grown under glass in the Creston district. The. results from orchards are even more satisfactory. Largest cArea. of Fruit Lands in B.C. The Oreston district 'comprises abont 40,000 acrofc���������the largest continuous area of, fruit lands in British Columbia���������also the far famed Kootenay Flat8, which will shortly be reclaimed, adding a further 8Q,000 ncros of tho finest alluvial land to to the provious total. ' Expert Opinion The soil and climate nre pronounced by provincial i'ruit expert Thomas C*auni*r*ghani, and other famous experts to be unequalled in the province. Good Wagon Roads ��������� There are many good wagon roads cut of Ores- ton. Thore in a good highway all tho way from Creston to Spokane, via Port Hill, also from Creston to Oranbrook, via Kitchener. Good roads are also found1 to Duck Creek and various other parts of the district, as well as through the famous Kootenay Flats. Creston is also the objective point for the Government trunk road that will be built immediately from Vancouver to Alberta. Sa<0) and Planing EMllls There are three thoroughly equipped saw and planing mills at Creston, which can furnish all kinds of lumbewfor building purposes for Creston for many years to come. s 'Mining at Creston *������������������ - *5 The Alice mine, only three -miles from Creston, employs quite a number df men, and there is a possibility of "this mine developing into an important working mine in the nearAfutnre. - " t, Dairying The Creston district is admirably suited for dairying purposes. The Oreston Dairy Co , which milks 10Q cows", supplies milk to many of the towns along the Crows' 'Nest Pass extension of the Canadian Pacific Bail way. besides furnishing milk to the town of Oreston." Scenety and Location for Homes Sport, Jrisfting and Hunting Creston is famous for its beautiful scenery, both landscape and mountainous; and thus, with an ideal climate and easy access to the outside world, it presents many advantages as a location for homes. The finest shooting grounds and fishing streams are within a radius of five miles from the town. Climate The climate of Creston is the very mildest in the interior of B.C., the district being noted for its early spring weather and long falls, the Indian summer weather generally extending to Christmas. The temperature in winter is rarely below zero. ' Winter killed fruit trees see unknown. The Creston fruit trees passed unscathed through the severe weather of winter 1908 to 1909, whilst Trees in other districts in B.O. were snore or less severely damaged, ��������� Rainf'alt and Freedom from Frosts The annual rainfall is about SO inches, providing ample moisture without irris-ation. The district is absolutely free from summer frosts. 1 The bottom land being 200 feet lower than the benches creates a natural air drainage through phe valley, and any frost or fog that may settle on the lowland leaves the benches free. ., *i w First-class land in all stages, both wild and partially and fully cultivated, can bo obtained at reasonabe prices. ' - <Righf Up-to-Date The town is up-to-date in every respect, with schools, a telephone system, and every social organization; and in its rapid growth the town "motto, "Advance Oreston," ��������� is being literally fulfilled. " Hurrah! for Creston If you are tired of tho freezing prairie winters,' ' ��������� if you have become dissatisfied with the monotonous grind of the great oity and aro looking for somo place to settle under the very, best conditions with ideal scenery, surrounded with mountains and with every facility for the highest material social and physical advancement aud enjoyment,/ then come to Creston, tho placo with tho soil, tho climate and tho future, For further particulars write to the Secretary, Crestou Board of Trado, Oreston,' B.O.

By -������ Tne Advertiser Picks Out the Paper Most Prized by Its Readers. -*Cail (New York Herald.) H. Page, head of the Chalnaera- Detroit automobile interests in the east, said yesterday: "I have read the Herald's interviews and appreciate "what ia said of tlie importance of keeping advertising* separated from the editorial -and news columns. One can see that the subject may be considered from ���������three viewpoints. First, from the standpoint of the newspaper reader. He does not want to see anything in the sews columns but live topics. Second, the ���������automobile dealer. He likes to read of his cars often, regardless of the question of news. Third, there is the advertiser's point of view. He may have one opinion of the value of a newspaper to himself and his business and then another -view as to its real value from a high, advertising standpoint. When he sits at his desk with a list of the papers in front of him and scans them for their advertising value his first choice is the paper that is most prized by readers aud the public at large for its hews value. I think a majority of advertisers will -admit that the paper drawing its lines closest between advertising and reading matter is by far the best advertir^nj ���������snedium. , "The automobile industry is not only vast, hut it is increasing by leaps and bounds'.*-We. would.; not. advertise in the lavish manner that - we do had we. not -proof on every hand of the great value of advertising. AU these hundreds of thousands of dollars spent in publicity means that we have confidence in legitimate advertising placed in legitimate papers, and therefore we prefer to have the tone and standard of our papers in which we advertise maintained! The higher the tone and standard, the more valuable the paper is for our purposes. "The rjish of people to see the new models and buy the new cars, following ���������she appearance of our announcements, tells the story of the wonderful pulling power of the advertising columns of a .great paper. "Of this there can be no doubt whatever. So it is evident that the more confidence readers have in a newspaper the ���������more effective will he the advertising ���������published in its columns."

But when the 7 o'clock whistles blew on the morning in question, however, therev was a concerted movement of men and wagons toward the lot. In tho erection of the dwelling sev- eaty-f������vs thousand na>ls wprp used, eleven thousand feet of lumber cut and fitted, twelve thousand shingles put on the roof, six thousand laths used to make tho walls, three hundred and seventy-five yards of plaster spread, and several gallons of paint used. Twenty-five carpenters were employed on the job, of whom eighteen worked ten hours, and the remaining seven about eleven houra each. Twelve lathers and twelve plasterers did the lathing and plastering in three hours. Two men built the chimney in four hours and forty-five minutes. Four men put the roof on in three hours, while two men did the plumbing and gas- fitting in five hours. One man did the electric wiring in one and^a half hours, while four men did the necessary painting in five hours. The builders had hardly cleared away before a largo furniture van arrived, together with a caterer's cart. The furniture van contained the owner's goods, and willing hands quickly transferred them to their rightful places in- the record-built home. In just under an hour the newly-married couple and theh- friends, who had meanwhile,come upon the scene, sat down to a sumptuous dinner. Twelve hours previously, as already stated, not a brick or a stone was to have been seen at the site of the dwelling. ^fe- ������ Three City Children With a Garden ������ of Thoir Very Own. ] Tho children's garden, which Mr. and Mrs. Frederick W.

This "word waa a favonite with tlie old engravers of conts and the only inscription borne by tlie obverse of the ceuta first issued in ir03_and up. to 1808. Then a change in design wad made and the word wu*�� taken from the border of tlie coin and placed on the diadem of Liberty, whore it /remained until 1857, when tuo white metal flying eagle cent took the place of the familiar head of Liberty. It w.u revived, on the Indian head cent, but placed in minute letters on tho band of the headdress of feathers. The Xincoln cent is the first coin of (ho denomination to bca-r the motto "In God We Trust," This m-ottois no strnn. gor, however, upon copper coina; as the copper-nickel two cen-t piece issued from 1804 to 1873 was thq, first of all tho United Stoutcs coins to' bear it.

The fiist design showed- a head of Liberty facing to the right, with -Iwxsely flowing hiiir, the word rtLiberty"~iu l'irge letters above and the date,below." On the leverse was the inscription, "United States of America," and in the centre tho words "One Gent" surrounded by'a circle of thirteen links. This chain design did not meet with favor, and in the same ��� year ths wreath design ,wo-�� o-lopteil in its place, which in general style was continued until the .old fashoined large cent1 was discontinued in 1837.

From 1707 until 1807 no material change was made in tho design of the cent, buS in 1808 a radical change was made in ihe obverse do-sign.
