Attention Ranchers

Some ranchers seem to have the
impression that the Publicity Com
mittee does not desire specimens OF
their products until fall. This is
a mistake, send in products as you
harvest them. Peas, beans, cucum-
bers, radishes, beets, etc. and al
varieties of fruit. Send or bring in
to the Brody Pharmacy whatever
YOU have. Do it today.

ABUNDANT
FRUIT CROP
Ranehers Have Successful Season -
All Fruits Yield Crops Above
The Average
BERRYINC PARTIES NUMEROUS


The ranchers of the kootenaa
valley have good reason to relo1ce
this season over the quality and
quantity of fruit they will place on
the market.
The crops of strawberries and
cherries were up TO the usual stand
ard and brought good prices. Pears,
peaches and plums are abundant
and of fine flavor and will be pro-
6tablv sold. Huckleberries, now
ripe, are, especially plentiful and
many "berrying" parties are busiiy
gathering the delicious fruit. Our
fruits generally have a flavor and
attractive appearance that cannot
be excelled anywhere in the West.
Good roads are an indication OF
progress and give a good impress
sion to prospective homeseekers'
Good roads enhance the value OF
the adjoining lands because they
enable the rancher to haul larger
loads of produce to market, ALLOW
more convenience to travellers ant

there are many insistent demand
on the appropriations for publ

Some of Reasons Why II is Hard to

While discussing the new game laws
recently, Hon. w. J. Galbraith of Lau-
rum. former representative of this
district i'm the state legislature called
attention to one of the principal reas-
ans why it is difficult to secure legis-
lation. with which all the sportsmen
will be satisfied.
Mr.. Galbraith states that invariably
during the early part of a legislative
session several game bills are intro
duced. some Of which have merit and
others which have not and much diff
Guilty Is experienced in deciding which
shall be passed. Usually the matter
drags on until the closing days of the
session. when a compromise bill, en-
bracing as many Of the features Of the
other bills as possible, is introduced
and rushed through. rarely receiving
proper consideration.
According To Mr.. Galbraith the leg
islators would not be disposed TO take
kindly recommendation made by the
department for In this as in other
things. they are Jealous of bills which
come before them which originate else
where.
