Proven Fruit District

This is a proven fruit district. Many
apple orchards which are paying their
owners a handsome profit annually are to
be found along the shores of the Arrow
Lakes and Columbia River There is
something in the sun, in the soil, in the
serene atmosphere, in the ozone OF the
pure woods and in the absence Of strong
winds that permits the growth and bios

Italy's Climate
Switzerlands Scenery

An enthusiastic writer in one OF the
magazines, in describing the Kootenay
district. recently stated: 1T has Italy's
climate and Swtzerland's scenery" Per-
haps this is bit exaggerated. but the cli-
mate is ideal, being modulated by the
Chinook winds which follow the Column

range of mountains. The scenery of the
kootcnay district is beyond description.

BRAIN AND Drawn NEEDED.

Chief Croker, OF the New York Fire
Department, Is disgusted with his mon.
They are mollycoddlos and towards, he
says, afraid OF smoke, weak, nerveless
and unable to stand when the test
comes. He reached this conclusion tho
other day whom half dozen OF his
men dropped a limo of hose In burn
ing storage warehouse and fled. and
he blames the Civl Service for tho do
generation of his force. The Civil Scr
vice. he says. Is giving him men with
sense, but with nothing but sense.
They need Drawn when they have to
fight fire, and he would prefer mon
with little less sense and q little
moro muscle.
The chances are that tho chief is
angry with tho Civil Service rather
than with tho men turned over to
him with the approval of tho Service,
but he is wrong in any case. 1t is. of
course, foolish to send small, weak
man up shaking ladder to bring
down screaming woman weighing
two hundred pounds, and it Is poor
policy that gives to fire department
men who have not physical ability
to endure the occasional hardships of
their calling; but 1t Is even more abb
surd to I'LL q department with physical
giants who are mental dwarfs. In a
crisis. tho man who can think quickly
is worth twice as much as the man
who can act strongly. and a fireman
with reasonable degree of strength
and good head is worth a company
OF giants whose brains are slow and
whose minds are dull.

wrote out all tho superstitions they
remembered, and wrote under their
whether or not they believed in them
Tho reports handed In by the college
boys were revelation. Old folk
legends which had been handed down
for generations wcro recalled, and su-
perstitions that arc probably as old as
tho world itself were remembered by
these educnted sons OF the twentieth
century. Ono boy. for example, ex-
pressed his firm belief that II he
picked his teeth with a splinter taken
from tree that had been struck by
lightning, he would never have the
toothache. A number believed that
would grow better than at any other
time, while many expressed their opin-
ION that II they dropped tho kitchen
dishrag they would soon have COM
pany. others held that the man who
carried q potato in his pocket would
never have rheumatism, while q large
number believed that when dog
howled death in tho family was I'M
pending. There were others as gro
sesque and RS absurd as these.
The amazing thing about the whole
AFFAIR was that so many of tho stu
dents believed In these superstitions.
Some SIS students were examined. and
OF this number forty-tive per cent. be-
lieved in stpers titions which numbered
some 5000. Perhaps even larger
percentage of the students believed in
some superstitions, or at least partly
believed in them. Not half the
men were FREQ from, some belies in
signs and orrlens.
These are the fact, that adnI: of
no dispute. Men believe where they
should noc believe. and that is all
there is to 1t. Their fathers believed
before than, and their fathers
before them. as far as history Is re-
corded, as FAR as tradition runs Some
OF these same legends wero believed
when Aryan ancestors watched the
heavens in the steppes OF Central
Asia. others were believed when the
German tribes cnme into Europe; the
Catholic saints believed them and the
Greek heroes observed them, the An
Eio-sa1ons followed them and the AZ
Tlcans IN the centre OF the Dark Con-
tsnent watched them day by day Civ
t!iza,ton may move on and men may
be wiser shan their sires, but there is
something IN the mind of man that
makes him believe where his reason
doubts and his sane mind SCOTS.

CHEAPER AUTOMOBILES.

George westinghouse who has done
great many things in his time. and
has done them very we'll. announces
that he is working on new air cush-
ion to be used on automobile springs.
The device Is not yet perfected. and
some time may elapse before 1t can be
put on the market, but Mr.. Westing-
house Is confident that he is working
on the right line and Will give the
world cushion that will make an au-
tomob!list feel as though he were In
feather bed in a quiet room even IL
he be travelling road as rough as
some of those the Endurance Party
did not find in North Carolina
Every automobiles knows why West
inghouse is devoting so much OF his
energy to perfecting a new spring
Like the practical man of science that
he is. he IS aiming at results and wants
TO see cheaper automobiles. He knows
that automobiles can never be cheap
as long as the heavy pneumatic tires
have to be used, and consequently he
wants to get rid Of these tires. This,
however, cannot be done as long as the
construction of springs remains un-
changed. for the tires are necessary
to protect tho engines from the inev-
liable Jars. If. therefore. motor cars
are to be cheaper. and are to run on
solid rubber tires, there must be springs
that will take up all the Jars from the
road.
The whole country Will wish West
inghouse success. for the whole country
knows that the automobile Is a good
thing and wants to use it. but only a
very small part of the country can
afford 10 buy expensive cars and pay
for their upkeep. We hope Westing-
house will have his new spring cush-
ion ready for use on the 1912 models.

ATTEMPTING THE MIRACULOUS.

The surgeons of the Flower Hos
pital in New York are in a fine state
of excitement. They loiter about the
corridors, converse in whispers and
every now and again enter darkened
room where Chinaman is lying In
bed, with his eyes bandaged. The
doctors do not speak to the Chinaman
and the chinaman cannot see tho doc
tors TO speak to them. Both doctors
and Oriental are counting the
hours until next Wednesday. They
have attempted a miracle and are wait
ing to see whether they have sue
ceeded.
The Chinaman in question, one of
| the wealthiest Of his race. has been
blind for many years. Every oculist
in New York examined him and all
gave him up as hopeless. The nerves
and blood vessels of the eye were in
good shape, the lens was intact, the
iris was normal, but the cornea had
become opaque. No light could pass
into the wonderful and delicate ma
chinery that gives the man vision. I'm
less the cornca could be made trans
parent, the Chinamar could never hope
to see daylight, and this, by every
count of science, was impossible. TO
be sure, Van Hippel had transplanted
the cornea OF a rabbits eye TO the
| eye of man in a famous operation,
and the man had seen for twenty
months, but this experiment had never
been tried in America and its technique
was not known.

1r is Nor NEW.

Governor Marshall, OF Indiana, jour-
neyed down into the South the other
day to make the annual address be-
fore the alumni OF the University Of
Alabama. He visited great school
and made great speech. Ho talked
more particularly about the things
which had made tho civilization Of tho
South great and productive In tho days
before the War Between the States.
Tho Governor rightly praised tho
Southern social order. and he described
with rare ability tho things which
made what men call the "old order in
the South. He told about the gener-
esity OF the people. about the virtue Of
the women, about the chivalry OF the
Southern gentleman and the bravery
of the Southern soldier. He drew. in
quick, strong strokes. the old Southern
homestead and he described its place
in a great and powerful social system.
This was really done in a brilliant
fashion, If the report of his speech
in the Birmingham Age-Herald be cor
rect; and the Governor bewailed the
coming OF new order and New
SOUTH He said that there was a
spirit OF change IN the a!r.-a spirit
which would put the dollar mark on
our very souls, and the thirst for sue
cess IN our hearts. Utilitarianism, said
the Governor, was becoming the order
OF the day, and the ability of every
man to succeed and to succeed at once
was the only demand OF tho time.
With all his power tho Governor
| pleaded against this and begged the
University to remember that its duty
was still. and always would be, to
make men with ideals. men with con-
victions. When the New South" for
got the "old South" the South would
cease to be itself
This Is what all those who remem-
Der the South as It was and foresee
what the South may be in the future,
have been preaching for twenty years.
There Is no New South. and there can
be no New South! All that we are
we owe to the past. and all that we
have we gained from our fathers. If
we change these things, we sell our
birthright, we debase our name and
we forfeit the blessings gained for us
by generations OF high minded ances-
tors. The South must never be new,

manifest, that criticism is disarmed
ana +h, world reads tho most dismal
of his stories with shiver, but with
an open heart. Above all else, Tol-
| stois spiritual nature has lett SUCH an
imprint upon his writings, and his ex-
allied spirit shines SO brightly through
his works that tho reader feels that
he Is following on tho intellectual
heights, where great deeds are done
and great thoughts are born.
Shaw has none of these qualities.
He did not begin his so-caled reforms
from any conviction of personal mis-
sion, and ho has not caught vision
of q new world In the place of the
world he would destroy. His entire
criticism Is without hope and all OF
his writings end with tho sheer of the
cynic or tho shrug of the skeptic- Nor

cries. He calls himself social rebel
and social boor, but he has never
lived a life that Is, as IS Tolstoi's. q

In q word. Tolstoi Is an upbuilder,
Shaw is q destroyer. When Tolstoi
breathes spiritual hope, Shaw breathes
careless despair. When tho reader
closes ono of tho Russians books. he
sees new day dawning. The sun is
not yet risen and the light is dim. but
