Poi.i.inu Station Changed.
To Ihe editor of Tun Advance :
Sib—Can you assign any reason or
give an explanation as In the necessity
of changing, jusl al I he last minute, the
polling station at Fairview. Did the
Government have anything I" do ffith
il? Were they afraid Ihal the majority
of voles polled would he cast for the
Opposition? The polling place 1 noticed
was advertised iuthe papers to be at
the Blue House. Aftqrlramplug several miles owing lo the fad that my
ciiyuso got away from me, just at, the
moment when most needed, it was, to
say the least, very annoying and somewhat exasperating to Iind, after arriving at Hoi supposed place of polling,
you have to start up and tramp In the
hot sun, climbing a mile furl her up thy
hill at Fairview. In the upper town,
liveroiie knows whal Ihal moans, For
my pari I could not see any sense or
reason in il. If you can, .Mr. Editor,
ivill you be kind enough lu »ny il it. is
legal to change the polling station without due nol ice being given of such
change? and whether, as a consequence, il will invalidate Ihe election?
Thanking you for your valuable space,
i remain yours obliged,    .
Wll.MlY C'ni;,
[Thereason assigned by Ihe presiding officer far the change iniide in the
polling station was that il, was necessary lo do so, owing io Ihe fact that at
pri-spnt Ihe Blue House is not being
occupied, and, therefoiii, could not be
made use of. Notice of such change
was posted on lin- Blue House on Monday, The Government had nothing
whatever to do wilh the mutter, und
as far as we are able lo Iind out by a
perusal of Ihe Election Regulations
Act. it will not affect the result of the
election.—Ed.]

Tin; poll closed here yesterday with
the result that out of twenty-two votes
polled Mr. Vernon received 111 and Mr.
/.ll'.aliain 0.
Mr. G. E. Vernon, nephew of tlie
Hon. P. G. Vernon, passed through
(Camp on Saturday and is staying at
Hyndford for the present.
Mr. Thos. Elliot acted as returning
officer here yesterday, and the polling
took place at his store instead of at the
Blue House, as was at first intended.
Mr, Jenkins, the expert that has
been examining some of tbe claims
here, left on Friday for Boundary
Creek, and intends looking thoroughly
pver the mines in that section and
jthen returning lo this place,
The will of the lute Duncan Mo-
Intyre, millionaire, has been Died, He
li_ ves his entire fortune to bis widow,
at tier death to be divided among the
family, He leaves nothing lo churi-
pius. This gentleman wns one of the
largest shareholders in the Strathyre
Mining Co. here.
Mr. S. Mangolt part proprietor of
the Morning Slur inine here, left a few
days ago for New York and other
points east via Sfhjway and Spokane,
with the intention, jt js understood, of
seeing what can be done in the matter
.of providing machinery for the working of the mines in which he is interested, or of placing the same, upon the
market,
Mr. H. P, Palmerston, of Midway,
passed through cuinp on Friday last on
his way north, and it is understood he
jnteuds inquiring thoroughly into the
flatter of freight rates from points on
the coast to Penticton, comparing
them with existing rates on the roads
to the south of us, preparatory to
bringing in a large amount of freight
for his store at Midway.
Captain T. D. Shorts came to camp
pn Saturday, staying only long enough
jto deliver the ballot boxes to the returning officer, and then proceeded to
Osoyoos, Rock Creek, Boundary Creek
and Kettle River on the same errand.
As the captain is a man of great pene-
ffutipn, especially in matters pertaining to " mineralogy," no doubt his
stock of knowledge will be highly in-
fU'tjlssa, Ojj a result of his trip through
fills portion of tl|,e ridhig,
Mr. Franz, formerly of this camp,
returned on business a few days ago.
He is now located just across the line,
and has, since leaving here, purchased
an interest, in a mine on Little JJjiuiit
Chepaca, and reports ore being mined,
packed and shipped to Tncqjiia, Tlie
pre is |)rst taken to Virginia City on
jvaggons, thence by steamer tu Wen-
fttchoe, and on by the Great Northern
to its destination the freight on which
is eight dollars per ton and smelting
charges twelve dollars per ton, but
according to assays this ore can stand
heavy freights and smelting charges,
as it runs from 1(X) to 500 ounces in silver to the ton; it also parries a fair
Quantity of gold. One picked specimen of this rock assayed over 5,000
ounces in silver to the ton.

A Fun-Loving Grizzly.
On Friday last a stranger culled ut
Fairview, and his travel-staii)ed appearance, combined witli the fact that
he carried a roll of blankets upon his
shoulder, denoted clearly that he belonged to the large army of the unemployed who arc at tlie present ti|iie
moving from point to point seeking,
and often times in vein, for work.
Having satisfied himself that times
were more lively in tlie direction of
Camp McKiuuey than they are at
present at Fairview, he started on his
journey, and toward experiences he
little dreamed of when leaving. Having pussei} the night by Hie roadside,
Saturday found him still trudging to-
ward Gamp McKinney, About two
miles from the camp he came suddenly
Upon a large grizzly bear, which had
boen obscured frpiu yicw by a sharp
i turn in tlio road. He immediately
stopped, expecting the hear would do
likewise, or else change it course, but
this was not bruin's Intention, for lie
kept coming toward the man, seemingly perfectly indifferent to his presence, By this time the bear was quite
close, so considering iliserplion. t|ie
better part of valor, down went the
blankets and up went the man, for
fortunately two small trees stood by
the road side, apparently set. there for
the occasion, and time did nut count in
this ascension. Having gained a point
pf advantage, the man's attention was
soon drawn to what was going on be-
jow, for tlie bear, having taken possession of the bundle of blankets, was
now thorpjighly enjoying himself,
ptriking it first with one paw and then
with the other, tossing it into the air,
rolling over and over it, and performing all other kinds uf antics, with an
pccasional pause to take a look ut the
man in tlie tree, Tims they were
found by Mr, Jas, White, who hup,
pencil nlong on his way to Fairview.
Again brtiin very nearly succeeded in
getting a human being to play with,
for owing to tho sudden turn in the
I'oud, us before stated, nml tlie foot
that Mr. White's horse was going ut a
good pace he came within about thirty
yards of the hear, and his
horse turning quickly nearly threw
him to the ground. Having no fire
arms lie too was obliged to become a silent witness of the scene.
However, after a little the bear tired
of bis fun and quietly and leisurely
strolled away. Descending io terra
iiruia. the man thanked Mr. While for
bis timely appearance, and observed
that, although le i Id climb pretty
well be did nol appreciate tiie roosting!
business. Mr. White, iii relating the
facts, observed that by the way tlie
bear handled the roll of blankets be
must at some time have been an eye
witness to a game of golf on tbe hillsides nt Fairview, or peradvonture lie
hud been an onlooker ut the last cricket
mutch played at Penticton.

Tho Elections.
Returns to band show that the Government will be sustained, and will
have a good working majority, It is
well known the Island stood solid, giving fourteen members to the Government, also Cariboo two. The lower
Mainland elected eight members to the
Opposition, and Ilie election since held
for which returns have so far been received give the following results:
North and West Vale has given one,
in the north riding to the Government,
Mr, Mart)n, and the west riding one
to the Opposition, Mr, Seinlin; East
and West Lillooet returns, in the
former, Mr, Prentice for tlie Opposition, in the latter it is generally supposed Mi'. Smith (Government) will be
re-elected, but so far the returns have
not come to hand. The people of East,
Kootepny have elected, by a good
majority, Colonel Raker, Provincial
Secretary, their former representative.
Thus it will be seen that the Government have won eighteen seats as
against ten for the Opposition, with
West Lillooet doubtful. This makes
a total in all pf twenty-nine, leaving
only four more to be heard from.
These are, north and soiilh ridings of
West Kootenay, the east riding of Yale
and Cussiar. In tlie former the elections
were to take place on the 10th and 17th,
in this riding on the 18th and Cassiar,
owing to its isolated position, will not
bo heard from till some time in September. Tlie four last ridings will
probably furnish two members for the
Government and two for tlie Opposition.

MANAGING BEtlj,
Mr. C. de B. Green is at present engaged surveying Mr. Sidley's meadow
near Camp McKinney. This meadow
is for sale and should be a paying investment for any one taking hold of it.
Mr. James Haddigan, while working
on his hydraulic claim at the mouth of
Rock Creek, about a week ago, received a sunstroke, but we are pleased
to say he is now getting better and will
soon lie at work again.

waggon road running over Boundary
mountain, and under tho foremanship
ofMr.P McCallum,isprogrossingfavolubly, Jt is completed nearly to Kerr
Bros.' ranch at present, anil will soon
reach Boundary Falls.
Already the owners of the Cariboo
mine in pomp .McKinney are trying to
make arrangements for the shipping
of concentrates lo Penticton and I hence
to Tacoina. By the time the waggon
road reaches the camp they will have
quite a large stock of them on hand.

Mr, W, W. Gibbs of Boundary Falls,
is kept constantly busy assaying,
twenty samples of ore having been
brought to the office in one day this
week. This gives some idea of the
mining activity in the immediate
neighborhood,
Another new strike lias been made
on Boundary Mountain, near Hie Sky-
lai'S camp, by men employed by Cup-
tain Adams. This is good news, us
every mineral claim located, providing
it is good, means added wealth to the
community.
The wingdam at the head of the
Laura Hydraulic Co.'s claim at the
mouth of Rock creek wns washed out
by the flood, which will necessilule
two months' work lo replace before
things can bo got into working order
again, This claim has been worked
for a number of years and a largo
amount of gold taken pt|t of It.
Mr. Harlan wns unfortunate enough
to have a break down on his arnistre
a few days ago, breaking the main
shaft, However, while repairs were
progressing a clean-up was made from
the rock crushed, and although tl|e
exact amount is not at present known,
it is understood that the nmulgtun
would indicate exceedingly good returns,

Into a great stale ot commotion when,
what was considered a smoke consequent on the clearing up of tbe
grounds in front of bis house, turned
out to be a fire of rather alarming proportions, As soon ns the gravity of
the situation wns understood Aider-
man Meyer and others in the immediate neighborhood hurried to the scene,
and with the assistance of a large
crowd of willing workers who were
soon gathered together, managed to
keep the lire confined lo (lie grounds
und away from Die residence. About
one hundred feet of sidewalk, wilh the
fence and nearly all the trees in the
grounds were burnt, whicli will have
the effect of detracting from the
beauty of the premises, but fortunate

THE CREAMERY SECRETARY.
II" la tho rlvot A rou iuMVhtch a Iluttor
Factory Ufivolves.
Tlio reasons multiply for the seli-ction
of it conservative and thoroughly prao-
Heal inaii for the euro of any public institution or association. I believe that
the successful creamery secretaries of
Iowa are those who hold responsible po-
titionsyear after year, and have developed biifiness talent in other occupations and the creameries get Hie benefit
Df it, Tho systems of management of
creamories aro almost as punioroue as
Ihe creameries themselves. With the
Interlaclngs of authority common i \

went, whatever may be said of the qui •
it v. BiKinis at the very best urn ti j
wii'ldy, and except iu the capacity of n
ilttors of accounts are likely to rcqu' f
too much time for uctioa, especially , \
emergencies,
As a rule singleness of managemoi i
is better than plurality. Granted a r< .-.-
Bonnlile efficient secretary, the business
is safer in bis hands tliuu when nbs".
lutely dependent upon a board tor ('•
management. The keeping of the boo. 'I
the necessary payment for milk *:
cream und the euro of tho shipping 11
counts are his part in any case, and .
there is added the consignment of good:
and the purchase of supplies tlio strong
probability is that tho creamery will k
tho gainer thereby,
Tho experiment is usually tried at th(
outset of keeping too meager a set v.
books. I havo gone on from a limitet
outfit at tlio beginning to a complete so'
of double entry, showing every transaction of the creamery, and the balance o
every account of patrons and cqniniissiot
firms at every entry, and I would, no
stop short of this on any considerate):
likely to be held out. The possibility e,
mistakes makes such a plan of hookkei ■•
ing thoroughly desirable. This is c J
cially true of co-operative creamer 1
In these every stockholder is u partn "
Each one in entitled to an exact and i i
tailed account of tho bnpiness.   Tlioo
hopo of continued satisfaction on his puf
lies In making everything plain to him
Generally speaking, tho greater tin
amount of knowledge concerning flu
creamery management, tlio more certain
it is that ho will be satisfied aud assist b
satisfying others.
Upon examination it will bo found
that most of tho hurtful things saiJ
about il creamery contain simply enough
of truth upon whicli to hang that whicli
is untrue and damaging in character,
It is a case where "a littio knowledge is
a dangerous thing."
A check given by the secretary should
be prima facia evidence of tho whole
transaction, ft should contain the date
to which payment is made, the gros'l
amount of milk, tho average test for the
period of payment, the pounds of butter
fat, the price per pound of tho butter
and tho amount deducted from thu
whole sum to the sinking fund. Thy
amount reinsuring to he paid should follow as a matter of course, But tho hi (
plan is to have all the foregoing inform.t
tion extended uppn a stub to be retail;,.
by tho patron, the cheek proper containing simply tho features of a couuni ,
cheek directing tho payment duo ti- •
patron.
Misunderstandings arise from pntr'\,
of rival creameries comparing checks u '
dor tho present various methods, Th,
checks do not show till the facts and m;
therefore incapable of fair comparison
Coucenluiout of facts from those to whon
it is due never contributes to good wil
or success of any business. It is doubt
fill if any class of men ou earth arc mors
at the mercy of those with whom they
deal than t'uoso who aro stockholders 11
our co-operative creameries, What with,
the almost absolute ignorance of th,-
conimat'cialatandingcf the city firms Olid
the guileless gr,aco of thatenerg'.tic army
of good fellows who by rail ami road curt
nnd bicycle scour the country, it is nc
wonder the unsophisticated creamery-
man can do nothing hut deliver tho
goods.
A completo shipping book should con-
tuiu blanks for date of shipment, the consignee, the gross weight, the number of
tubs, amount of draft made, date of receipt at destination, net weight there,
price paid, average price per tub, gross
proceeds an 1 net proceeds.
Butter worked on a horizontal worker
will weigh boavily. Tho reason is that
tho butter is worked drier. This bears

Pasteurizing apparatus for dairies aim
creameries is now niado in Germany nnd
shipped to this country, But it need not
bo. Let some of the dairy chemists at
our agricultural stations take the mutter in hand and invent u pasteurizing apparatus of their own. It was an agricultural experiment station professor that
gave the world the Babcook milk nml
cremn test. That Is what these stations
ore for—to find new aud belter ways of
doing things for the farmer, live stock
breeder and dairyman,
Two hundred ine.ii cannot run a creamery successfully when they all want to
be boss und not one of them knows anything about the creamery business,
The late secretary of agriculture, Jere-
leiali Rusk, had he remained in office,
would next have taken up, in the interests of American dairymen and creiiiu-
eryiuen, Ihe especial investigation of oleomargarine manufacture.
One milkman who doos not deliver
milk on Sunday says he carries Saturday evening's milk around late on Saturday night for his customers'Sunday use,
while tiie Sunday night's milk ho delivers on Monday morning,
Both creameries and private dairymen
should pay more atlenlion to the development, of a cream t rude, There arc great
possibilities in it,

minutes they nre at work nicely, as the
bees in the field come in loaded with
honey, they nre inclined to puss on up
to the sections to unload before tlioy do
much below, and hb 1 get all the working force iu the now hive, them are bees
enough to carry on all the work above
and in the brood chamber. Now if tho
flow of iieclar continues good, in six to
10 days the sections aro finished, ready
to take off, or tier up and havo theiii
finished on top of '2V empty sections.
Now for tho old colony: If I have
any weak colony I set this old hive on
it, closing it uji so tho bees have to pass
out through the hive of thu weak col
pny; in a short time another swarm
comes off. I still havo empty combs,
so I go to tho hive I have on top of tin
weak colony, take out about three
frames, still partly filled with brood
(seeing they huyo no queen cells!, put
them in with tho old combs, aud putting on the partly filled sections the
same as on No 1, When I have no more
weak colonics I tier up old brood chambers after swarming, and when anew
swarm comes after this, I smoke down
all the young hutched bees in tho top
hive, remove all queen-cells, and put
this on the old stand, as in the beginning. Now, in a few days the bottom
brood-clminber, Into which i drove the
bees from tho top brood-chamber, is
ready for sections, I go to one of the
strongest, colonies, take oil one set of
partly-Idled sections, and put on this
doubled up colony, and they will tiil it
full lu a short time, if the How continues.
1 will say that when you put the first old
brood-chamber on u weak colony, it is
generally best to kill tlie old queen
in the weak one, and rear a new or young
queen from a cell in the one put on top,
which g"!i. rally is of the best stock, us the
best build up earliest aud swarm first and
ure the best to gather honey. Now for
the result ol tliissysttmof management:
1 have neighbor bee-keepers woo go on
iu the "good old way of our fathers,"
and 1 think I can safely say I produce
from twice to three times the amount of
honey they do, and 1 sell my honey in
my home market for twenty cents per
pound, while they sell what little they
happen to have at about ten to fifteen
cents, and it is dear at that. I generally sell to one or two grocery men
furnishing a nice show case about three
by four feet, with a glass in front, where
customers can see it from tho outside,
but cannot handle and disfigure the
houoy.
Sheltering fl'iiln Drafts,
Ample protection from cold winds is
absolutely necessary, Every animal is
more or less liable to contract cold ii
unduly exposed, Damp doors and openings in ih" walls are cgnslant sources ol
colds and diseases. The suuo result.-
aro often brought about by overheatiu;
causa 1 by animals huddling together.
To obviate tlieso eli'ects divide barm-
ami sheds into apartments and stalls
It is necessary that hogs and sheep be
divided into Binull lots, and allowed
more room than is usually allotted to
them. Where convenient heavy block
of wood, rails or thick boards may b,
placed at short intervals on the floor of
the shod where a better system of stalls
has not been provided. Don't lot them
"pile up." Comfort is the require
incut of all animal's welfare, as it is
also the test of profit to the owner,—

The Practical Dairyman Bays; "As

this cause or from a tear on a barbed

these ugly lacerations up ns quickly ns
possible Wash the sore once or twice
daily with warm water, and then rub
into it an ointment made of oiie-fnurth
