A fairly large and representative turnout was on hand for the annual meeting of the Creston Board of Trade on Tuesday night, with President Reid ia the chair. of the mi'T'- neeting and the election of W.

It was a brief statement of the year's progress in the Creston Valley, with special emphasis on the necessity of the various boards of trade throughout the province taking united action to have tiie minister of trade and commerce and other government officials do a little- overtime hustling to secure for British Columbia a far larger share of the export lumber business within the empire, lis this connection' Mx������ li-eid said; \"The lumber industry in British Columbia was hit hard, our local company, The Canyon \"City Lumber Company.' only shipping thirteen cars rtni>in������r iX������o Incf rooj 1 will here give you some figures on the lumber export to Australia during the last year and which, to my mind, evevy board of trade iri the province should impress on the powers that be the necessity of ojar minister of trade and commerce securing for our lumbermen the export trade to Australia which Idaho- and Washington has enjoyed during the past year.

He was a short, rather stout, hut powerfully-built man, with heavy features, dark thick curly hair, a snub nose, and thick lips. He were a thin, straggling beard that he was very proud of for some reasons, and his general appearance was that of a fairly prosperous tradesman in a rather small way ol business. Only his eyes, alert and very bright, and his extremely big and prominent chin, conveyed the least suggestion that here was one of the most daring and successful financiers of tho day. \"Well, what do you say, by hoy?\" he asked, genially. \"If you do fail to pull through, how would you like Jones's job'.'\" \"I am very much obliged,\" said Hugh rising, \"but you can find some other poor devil to sweat for E2 a week on a ������t a week job. Do yon know, uncle, there are times when 1 could thank God that there is not rt drop of your blood in my veins?\" * \"Good thing for you if you had,\" returned Mr. Hetherington with undisturbed good-humor, for he was in fact as absoiutt-ly good-tempered as he was perfectly selfish and callous, though his good temper was Hnhte to he broken by Jits of extreme rage, \"if you had some of my blood, my boy. you might know enough to soize your opportunities when they camo to you. Plenty of young men would lie glad to pay mi* n premium to get into my office; but. think about It, think about it. 1 will keep Jones's job open for vou for n time, and a trip through the bankruptcy court often brings about a good many changes in a man's mind. Shall we go utid hud Delia? Perhaps she will give us some tea if we can't cautiously towarus her, and remembering that a flask of brandy and some biscuits were generally kept in the car in readiness for any emergency, he looked tov them, managed to find the flask of brandy, fortunately still unbroken, and forced a drop or two between her teeth. To his intense re- round. \"What has happened?\" she asked; \"where are we?\" \"There has been an accident,\" said Hugh, and even as the last word passed his lips he knew it was not true.

(To he Continued) WHY BRITAIN IS AT WAR' The Causes \"and the Issues, in Brief Form, From the Diplomatic Correspondence and Speeches of Ministers (By Sir Edward Cook) Hugh stirred his tea thoughtfully, and it was a moment or two before he replied. *'I think I saw that car in coming here,\" he remarked then; \"in fact, tne bread and cheese eating negro was the tramp 1 had my skirmish with.\" \"Really,\" exclaimed Delia looking at him sharply. \"Strange!\" But Mr. Hetherington had been thinking of something else. \"Did you take a return ticket, Hugh ?\" lie asked. \"If you did, you can give it me, if you are goinc back with us. Then my secretary can apply for a refund from the railway.\", \"Good gracious, papa!\" cried Delia ii*i o������ tisntly. \"Why not, my dear?\" said her father, mildly surprised; \"there . is no need to make presents to the railway company, is thero? It can go towards the motor up-keep account.\" \"Yes, indeed,\" said Hugh, handing over his return ticket. \"The secret of success,\" said Hetherington sententiously, \"lies in never neglecting trifles. Remember, that, Hugh, and never neglect any opportunity that comes your way, however small it may seem.\" \"I won't!\" said Hugh. Orders hod been given for a motorcar to be got reatfy, the housekeeper had bee informed that the dinner then cooking need not be served, and a little before six o'clock a big motorcar was brought round to the front entrance.

I repeated that after the Servian reply It was at Vienna that some moderation must be urged.\" On the following day (July 28) Austrian- Hungary declared war on Servia. As the German government was understood to have accepted \"in principle,\" theV idea of mediation by the four powers between Austria and Russia, it was proposed \"that the German secretary of state should suggest the lines on which���������������������������\" this principle should be applied.\" The German, government made no suggestion of the kind; Sir Edward Grey's scheme had temporarily been in abeyance-, as the Russian government had offered! to^ discuss matters with the Austrian government direct.' This offer was de* clined by Austria (July 28). Sir Edward Grey next appealed to the German chancellor. \"If he can induce Austria to satisfy Russia and.to abstain from going so far as to come into collision with her, we shall all join in deep gratitude to his excellency for having saved the'peace of Europe\" (July 29). The Italian government had simultaneously appealed to Germany in a like sense. On that same day the German government made certain proposals to Great Britain to which we shall come presently and which the prime minister afterwards characterised as \"infamous.\" But so persistent was the British government in pursuit of peace that Sir Edward Grey in declining the proposals used language of great restraint (July 30), and accompanied his refusal by yet another \"most earnest\" appeal to the German chancellor; \"The one way'of maintaining the good relations between England aud Germany is that they should continue to work together to preserve the peace of Europe; if we succeed in this object, the mutual relations of Germany and England will, I believe, be ipso facto improved and strengthened. For ���������that object his majesty's 'government will work in that way with all sincerity and good-will. And I will say this: If the peace of Europe can be preserved, and the present crisis safely asked to state its intentions, replied: , , ..,- , .- \"The war undertaken bv Austria, and Passed, my own endeavor will J?e to the\" consequences\" which' might result, Promote some arrangement to Axhiet* had, in the words of the* German ambassador himself, an aggressive object. Both were therefore in conflict with the purely defensive character of. the Triple Alliance, and in such circumstances Italy would remain neutral.\" \"We were fujly conscious,\" said the German, government itself, \"that a possible warlike procedure by Austria* Hungary against Servia might bring Russia upon tne scene and so involve us in war. in accordance with our duties as Allies.\" \"As far Germany,\" said the-German ambassador at Vienna to the British, \"she knew very well what she was about in backing up Austria-Hungary in this matter.\" Foreseeing all this, Sir Edward Grey, whose efforts during the recent Balkan wars had won :or him the title ���������- of the Peacemaker of Europe, was early in the field with proposals for averting war, and the British go-v- many of the subjects of Austria-Hun- lur^e ���������e war, anu me eriusn gov- gary belong. On June 28, 1914, \"the 1���������*??? 'Xe,ff Lt2?,t������ ,5e JeV IaS^ crime at Serajevo\" was committed, momeatt of the last hour in that great - J - - ' and beneficient but unhappily frustra ted purpose\" (Mr. Asquith). Already on July 20, having received an inkling of what was on foot, Sir Edward Grey spoke to the German ambassador of the importance, if the peace of Europe was to he preserved, of Austria \"keeping, her demand within reasonable limits.\" The suggestion was not adopted. The German foreign secretary \"considered it inadvisable that the Austro-Hungarian government should bo approached by the German government on the matter\" (July 22). The Austrian ultimatum, which the same minister \"admitted that the Servian government could not swallow,\" was despatched on tho following day. On July 211, having hoard from tho Austrian ambassador an outline of what the Austrian note contained, Sir Edward Grey pressed upon him, as also upon the uorman government, the desirability o������ persuading tiio Austrian government to extend its lime namely,* tho murder of the heir-apparent to the throne of Austria-Hungary and his consort in the capital'of Bosnia. That province, once a part of the ancient Servian kingdom, had fallen into the possession of the Turks; the administration o������ it had been given to Austria, by the Berlin Treaty after the Russo-Turkisli war, in 1878; and in 1908 Austria had annexed it. The Austrian government alleged (hut has not proved) that the crime Of Serajovo was a culminating point in r. \"subversive movement\" organized by the Servian government \"with the object of detaching a part of the territories of Austria-Hungary from the Monarchy.\" On July 28 the Austrian government addressed an ultimatum to Servia. Austria had boon \"left a perfectly free hand\" by Germany.

At the same lime the improvements at Place Viger,-which have been in hand for three* year's, are now completed. These, in their entirety, of station, hotel and trackage, cost nearly $5,000,000. The union station at Quohec has been commenced.- There was the double track bridge at Lachine which icos't. nearly $3,000,000; the neW Lake \"Shore Line which was opened for, Lridiicin.nine: the new station' and viaduct at Toronto which are only held up temporarily; the extension of the Kippewa Branch line 10 miles ia a northerly direction: a 30-mile extension from Expanse to' a'junction with the Weyburn-Sterling branch of the C.P.R., and which will be completed this fall; the line between Swift Current and Empress, a distance of 112 miles, and which will be completed this year; the main line cut off from Swift Current to Bassano of which 150 miles are completed; the 78 miles cf the C.P.R. branch from Lacombe to Kerrobert, a new extension; the operation of the Alberta-Central Railway to Loehern, a distance of ,65 miles from Red Beer; the great tunnel at Jttoger s Jfass; and of which o������e mile of the pioneer tunnel had been completed; the C.P.R. depot and terminal offices at Vancouver; the Kootenay Central which is now Open for traffic, from GoIdenV 60. tailes south.

Mr. Bear turned \"into tire brush and down th^ gulch he came, with both dogs close at his heels.

Breathless and weary, we finally got to the dogs, who were lying down under a tree, 'all in' and no bear in sight.

But, to quote the Victoria Colonist, this leads to a series of questions: Why did Germany invade France? Germany invaded France because France refused to cease preparations for mobilization. Why did France prepare for mobilization? Because she had reason to believe that Germany and Austria\" contemplated *&n attack: uoon her allv. Ruh������������������- Dismissing aii the details set out in the diplomatic correspondence and conversations, one chief fact emerges from them, namely, that in July last Germany was absolutely prepared for war, and her agres- sive policy demanded that she should make war while her opponents were unprepared for it. The_new military programme of France and Russia would, if time were allowed for them to be carried out, place Germany and Austria at TT* ^.C 1 ., Z~ i.V,S������4w .���������.* one vaiug, anu tne supply or norties immediately available for service is another.

The number of animals killed in battle is great; but probably the number that break down is far greater. Horses, to stand up under hard work, must have plenty of regular food and frequent opportunity of resting. Granting the German fleet continues bottled up and the importation of horses continues impossible ; remembering that the Kaiser's chief source of supply will be Austria, and not forgetting the difficulty of maintaining hordes of horses I in the winter time, it will not be j surprising to learn of the camplete \\ paralysis of large divisions of the i Germany army for lack of these animals. 1 COMMOOIOU������ J'.'\" - ^SAMPLE ' , ACl***? ������������X������jr I'Ulllft *������������������������������*** AVVrKSbO *������������U -WW***^ mercial paper within her ' own boundaries and compel her factory magnates and tradespeople to accept it at its face value, she cannot work that game on those neutral countries from which she is importing considerable in the shape of food supplies and munitions of war. For these she must pay cash not wor bonds or other worthless securities. She can gold brick her own people, thanks to the army, but she cannot impose green goods upon the United States, to mention one important neutral. a CtisSiQ vantage- volujjShsg witn those powers. Therefore, if German hegemony was to be established it was necessary to strike at her rivals before they were fully prepared to resist. That this will be the verdict of history we have no doubt at all. If the result of the war should be the establishment of German supremacy, it would be claimed and justly so for the Kaiser that he saw the Losses About Equal Of the making of statistics there is no end���������nor, apparently, of the subjects on which a statistician can make computations���������and the present war seems to be a fertile field for those of a statistical turn. The Colonist's . manipulator of figures has just demonstrated that the casualties of the French, Germ- Opportunity was ripe for securing a������ asd British armies now at the it\"'and struck ��������� before his adversaries had time to get ready. Germany invaded France in the belief that she could repeat her triumph of 1870, aud then be ready to overwhelm Russia. To accomplish this it was necessary to violate the neutrality of Belgium, and this act forced us into war. Whether or not we would have gone to war in any event need not be discussed. We are only concerned with what has happened,not with what might have occurred. Horses a Factor Still another factor looms up that must he reckoned with in determining the result of the present war, and that is the supply of horses. Horses are specially required by the cavalry, the artillery and for tho transport branch. To date we have seen no estimate of how many are in une on either side, but the number must bo enormous. Tho International Encyclopaedia '-ditioii of 1002, givos some statistics which, though probably too low for the present war will give some idea of the number of horses required. Great Britain���������29,257 regular cavalry, 10,000 yeomanry, Anglo- Indian 25,400. The number of iiun'iw\" in the United Kingdom wiih put. at 8,000,000, of which 70,000 wi*������v ������aid to be fit for oavidry pnr- front are exactly twenty per cent, in each case. His findings are as follows: Germany with 4,000,000 meiv in the field has suffered a loss of 800,000 men killed, seriously wounded and missing. Great Britain with 300,- 000 men has lost 60,000 men of all ranks according to recent reports, and France with 2,000,000 men has lost 400,000 men. Enlarging on this theology it would seem to be sane reasoning to assume that seeing the warring nations above enumerated having lost twenty per cent of their fighting strength in four months' campaigning the war at its worst can only last another sixteen months, and that the nations that can bring up the largest reinforcements are certain of victory; all of which goes a long way towards oxplaing the insistent demand of Lord Kitchener for men and still more men until the enemy is crushed. Whatever way the loaeeB of tho different armios are computed it is evident that, proportionately speaking, the amount of bloodshed is greater than in any previous war. Statistics of the past show that of those who aro engaged in battle one out of every eight is either killed, wounded or aro missing, whereas in the present war tho Franco���������70,121 cavalry of all rank* ; horwoH i 1 7ft flftO wtM. nvniil- .1.1..

My understanding of an arrangement of numbers that is popular in town was that in evidence on New Year's night, and taking it by and large there was no fault to find with it ���������by the youngerz-feet���������though to those travelling along at about middle age, for instance, with some of these it was felt that the menu was a little shy on what old-fashioned people commonly call \"square\" dances. Ido not propose to expound or expand on the merits or weaknesses of either the ���������'square' or \"round\" styles of tripping the light fantastic. Offhand we would say the authorities are mostly with those who insist on the numbers wheie no \"caller off\" is required. Take the waltz, for instance, who has forgotten the one-time popular Waltz me around again, Willie I Around 1 Aroimd I Around 1 The music is dreamy; Its peachy and creamy. Oh don't let my feet touch the ground I Or, concerning the two step hasn't popular opinion -been aptly expressed by another ragtime specialist, something after this fashion��������� I'd rather two ������tep than waltz, Bill I I'd rather two step than eat I Waltzing is fine, but a two step for mine��������� I'd rather two stop than sleep I But notwithstanding the somewhat abundant supply of literary opposition of a sort in favor of tho waltz, two stop, et al I respectfully submit that out of deference to some of the older attendants nt theso functions an occasional set of lancers might bo introduced, and hero and there an old-time quadrillo given a place���������always provided that there aro enough present to make up tho \"head\" couples for each set, so that tho mixups and breakdowns will not bo too much in evidence. No ono will seriously dony tho beauty of a sot of lancers; tho various figures that constitute it give ample scope to demonstrate tho poetry of motion at its highest standard. It is ali*o a number that thono none too proficient at 'round' dancing can toko part in without Iohs Of dtp-nity���������If tliep aro troubled that way.

In some districts in Eastern Canada, nearly everything has been shipped out of the country, except dairy eews. This export trade, together with many farmers selling their calves for veal, can have .but one result, in Canada, viz.: a greater scarcity of meat than a't present exists, even, in a normal market. The meat industry itt Canada should not be allowed to dwindle���������rather,, the production of hogs, sheep and cattle on Canadian farms should be greatly increased. To obtain this increase does not mean that farmers should devote their whole attention to live stock. The majority of farmers will admit that with very little extra effort and expense they could increase by several head the live stock on their farms without in any way Interfering with their present system of farming. From reports to the commission of conservation, .present conditions indicate a- world-wide scarcity ot live stock, with little likelihood of an over-crowded market for many years to come. 'The opportunity for Canadian farmers is, therefore, apparent. To take advantage of this, farmers should save their heifer calves to produce more cattle, while the others may be f'k'LPIBfg &__ l*siH,\"jrai BHgAS i*a 6*-������H I TO mffm B_ _ Ez?^&&OP a=a^t* & 5b������ ir������**B������ B IF a Wm 1ML KEPT IN IGNORANCE OF TRUE STATE OF AFFAIRS It was the shrapnel and lyddite shells that did the damage..

It would appear that even the educated and best informed of the more intelligent class cf the German people have been deceived by the Kaiser, and the military party, by misrepresentations of the official correspondence between the nations previous to the declaration of war. The German people are evidently; led to believe that Great Britain was responsible for. the war, and that since the commencement of hostilities German arms have been invariably successful against the: allied troops. They even appear to have supreme confidence in their navy, and entertain the delusion that the British navy will be vanquished by their own fleet. Through the censorship of news* by the authorities in Germany, and. by means of spreading -false reports broadcast, they are doing everything possible to prejudice the opinion of neutral countries. Letters are now being received in Canada mailed from points in *he United States, and no doubt written by agents of Germany, which contain statements bearing on the cause.-and progress of the war, calculated to arouse an Anti-British feeling. These letters In most cases are being sent to the- proper authorities, so that this plan of campaign may be exposed. As showing the manner in which the German people are kept in the dark as to the true conditions of affairs in respect to the war situation, the following letter, written by a Berlin newspaper owner to a friend in England, is illuminating: \"Never in my life I should have ventured to think that Great Britain should ever declare war on Germany, the nation to -which the British had the closest affinity, there being thousands and thousands Jofe; friendly and amicable* relations between- the iuhab- five days and five nights I got six hours' sleep, and so am rather weary.

The order provides that any cabinet minister, delegated ior the purpose, may assume control of any telegraph or telephone company, nnd use Its lines for his majesty's service. It is further provldod that the minister may direct that all messages be submitted to censorship, whether by telegraph or telephone, going out of Canada shall go through certain named offices only.

It is the most valued possession in many a home in Britain today. The Austrian Cross, on the other hand, is the oldest. A similar reward, in Germany is the Iron Cross, instituted by tho Emperor Frederick William III. of Prussia In the year 1813. Russia gives as a decoration to its heroic soldiers the Cross of St. George, which was founded by the famous Empress Catherine II. in the year 1769, and, while tlTe Victoria Crocs Is of bronze, and the Iron Cross as Its name implies, of iron (which I. edged with silver), the Russian Ord^r is of gold, with a beautiful medallion of St. George, killing the dragon. In Austria, again, tho cross is of gold, and was instituted in tho year 1757 by the Empress Marie Theresa soon aftor her accosslon to the Throne. It boars the same inscription as the British Victoria Cross, ours having in English \"For Valor,\" and theirs in Latin the word \"For tltudlnl.\" It Is difficult to estimate correctly tho actual war strength of Groat.Britain, on account of the loyalty and readiness to servo of hor clvlllun population.
