OTTAWA, Can.-To define Canadian
political designations in American
terms, the liberal would be democrat
in the United States. The conserva-

CARNATIONS are more rigid in Canada
than they are in the United States but
in both the liberal and conservative
PARTIES there is the natural grouping
of progressive and reactionary ele-

Both party organizations have been
hard hit in the fight over the conscrip-

JAP TRUCKERS GUILTY

Combine to Raise the Price of Garden
Stuff and Show Skill of Rare
Quality

PORTLAND--Port wholesalers
today are taking determined steps to
combat the growing tendency of Japa-
nese truck gardeners in southwestern
Washington and northern Oregon to
combine and force up the price of their
products.
Wholesalers say when prices are
high they desire practically all the Of
ferings of these growers at the pre-
vailing market prices, but when prices
begin to drop they combine to force
up prices. The combinations of Japa-
nese is said to have reached serious
proportions.
A practical corner of tomatoes was
in this market was reported several
days ago due to the action of Japa-
nese growers.

! CRESTON, B. C.-The board of trade
here today is taking up with the ma

| ject to reclaim $4,000 acres of land
in the Kootenai river valley at cost
of 100000 for returned soldiers.
Surveys and engineers reports are
completed.
Under present plans, the land will be
made suitable for cultivation and Of
fered to- the veterans of European bat
tlefields at moderate cost Return
ed soldiers will do the actual reclaim
alton work. if the board of trades
proposals are adopted
The tract is exceptionally fertile 1t
consists for the most part of great,
inland delta formed at the southern
end of Kootenai lake by the Kootenai
river. For centuries the river has
flooded the tract each spring and
covered it with a rich coat of silt
Hundred bushels of oats, IS bushels of
wheat, Is tons of potatoes to the acre
and similar yields are common where
cultivation is carried on now.
The plan of reclamating the tract
was discussed before the war, but was
dropped when the conflict began.
