The rooms were beautifully decorated, and the bride and groom received a large crowd under a rose bower and white petal bell. It would be difficult to name the many fiilends and relatives ana their plfts, as there are very tf.w Agassiz people who would not be Included. Her mother Baying on one occasion, "Sho ls a very lucky girl; but rather, Miss Margaret has endeared herself to many hearts with her charming personality, bo he is a very lucky man who has won her affection.

Elsey tendered their resign ations, which were accepted with much regret. Commu nlcat Ions were read from the Dept. of Elementary Agricultural Education, Victoria, giving the con ditlons on which it will give assistance in levelling the grounds, also from the Department of Indian Affairs re the deed of the Harrison Mills School site, As the teachers of Divisions 3 ond 4 were leaving, and as their salaries were Inc; eased about a year ago because of their efficient services, It was decided to reduce the salaries of those divisions to f900 per annum. * The Board decided to paint the schools during the holidays, and to fix up the stairs, In fact, generally, •lean up. The Board thinks more room is needed on the grounds, a.nd if another acre could be procured reasonably, it would give the young people a first class ball ground. The Board considers the people, especially the village oitizens, should assist In every way to make this an accomplished fact as soon as possible, because the acre in view may not long be for sale, 1ZA.iT WA&T0N8 IV BIG 1TJOK A party of local sportsmen consist ing of Bert Horwell, Walter Whelpton wlarenco McDonald, Fred Wilson Fred KidHon, and Jim MacCauley, went to Harrison Lake in search of trout, and unlike Peter of old, they toiled all day and "caught the limit," which means they enjoyed excellentf ishlng amongst the Kamloops trout, which ran from 6 to 8 lbs. dressed. No doubt there were much larger ones hooked, but. unfortunately, they got off.

MoLEOD (Published by Special Arrangement with Hie Aulhor) (Continued) ll was a happy company. All wero enjoying lo (hi- lull tlio hour of social time they were having, till tlio sounds ol' music I'roni the house invited them Inside to tin' revelry of lhe dunce. Gathering Into the large living room, now cleared ol all obstructions, they saw the violinist, or as he was called. the "fiddler," enthroned on a chair sot on top of tlio dining room table, which was pushed lo ono corner ot the room, busily engaged in tuning his violin, or "fiddle,"'for the Orsl dance. On rough benches along the sides and ends or lhe room, the women and girls were sitting in joyous anticipation of their first dance in many moons. Soon the worn was given, "All set," and lho fiddler started off witli the tune of, "The girl 1 left behind me." Then a (all lanky young man, with a thick shock ot black hair, whose rebellious locks were smoothed down lo a shiny surface by a profusion of hair oil, arose beside the fiddler's stand. First smoothing down wiih his hand lhe wave of hair lhat adorned his brow, he then called off in a nasal tone to the swing and lime of the music: "Chose partners for an eiglu- liand reel." Ronald was looked upon by the young men prccnt, somewhat in the light of a hero, not so much because ot rescuing Miss Eraser, but more on account ol his escapade in "stealing" Hie horses of tlie horse thieves. This particular achievement appealed strongly to their sense of humor. Now desiring to escape their Importunities, he advanced into the room to claim lho first dance from the daughter or the house. Jn this, however, he was forestalled by Ihe handsome Sergt. .Melvin, whom he mel leading her iu triumph .0 the head of th" nrsl set. Without showing his sense of disappointment, ho chose for his parlner a Mrs. Mc'l'avish. one of lhe sprightly married women present, and led her to a place at tho head set also. The word again given, "all set," the self- conscious floor manager, witli a happy sense of musical time, twanged off his nasal calls, sel to the lime and tune of the violin, Gaily the dance wont on; joyously tin* dancers circled round; bowed to their partners; "the corners the same"; "grand right and left. and. swing wllh Ihe girl behind you." Pleasure radiated from Ihe beaming countenances of the dancers as Ihey manoeuvred through lhe set io Ihe time of Hie music and tho rhythm of the nasal calls of the floor master, ill! ihey all promenaded io their "s-e-a-l-s."

"The Indians," sev- eial void's exclaimed. Rushing out ihey discovered circled on the grassy lawn, heiwcen the house ami lho lake, a baud of Indians decked out In lull regalia ol [i alltcrs, paint and other ailnrnmenis. Willi fantastic steps ihoy circled arou.id another group of Indians sQUatted on the ground, who were Industriously beating tho "lorn loms" to wnlch thoy limed their steps and sing-song wails of "yaa, yaa, hu yaa, hu yaa, hu yaa, yaa, hu yaa, hu yaaa." Eoinied around in an outer circle, their squaws, dressed in tholr brightest colors, slopped round lhe circle, and, In treble wails kept lime, tune and step with Ihelr lords and masters. "Even the Indians are giving you a ■pow wow,' Miss Eraser,'' someone cried. Such it proved to he. The Indians, desiring to show Ihelr pleasure at lhe rescue of "Merry Sunbeam," as sin- was called by Ihem, requested permission of the agent to leave Iho reserve, and. In their own way, pay their respects to the honor of tho girl who was a greal favorite among them. Taking advantage of tho presence al the reserve of Sergt. Melvin's squad of threo men, und also on account of tho sergeant's pros,lice there himself, he generously granted their request. This visit, the Indians planned, would lake the form of the present "pow wow," the highest honor they could confer on her. Mary, realizing tho significance of this signal honor, went about among them, chatting with the squaws in their own language, of which she had acquired a fair knowledge. Sh(? passed in and out among ihem. thanking the braves and shaking hands with the more dignified older members of the band, calling each hy name. For a lull hour the Indians kept up their "pow wow" to the pleasant enjoyment of all the guests. Later, at the invitation of .Miss Eraser, they all crowded into the house, and, squatting on the floor or standing around the room, they watched the different numbers of the dance wllh evident amusement. Some of Ihe young men present took particular delight in choosing as partners some of lhe more dusky maidens firm the reserve who, even though unfamiliar wiih lhe intricacies of the different dances, look keen pleasure out of this experience. It was a sight that, at times, disturbed the usual stoical Immobility of the faces of their stately lords Inlo an occasional smile. Thus dance followed dance until long pasl the hour of midnight. At this hour Mrs. Fraser requested them to arrange themselves for the serving of lunch which she, wllh lhe assistance of the few older housewives present, had by now prepared from her own store of food and the low baskets brought by the women guests. Plates of sandwiches and cakes were passed around by the young women and girls till all were satisfied. This was a part in which the Indians look particular delight, as they helped themselves to generous portions as these new dainties were passed among Ihem. The shortage of tea cups was overcome by Iwo or perhaps three making use of Ihe same cup or I in. Among the interesting guests present a group of three Frenchmen and two French half-breeds from Willow Hunch and Wood Mountain attracted unusual attention. These men, who had been camping on Ihelr way east wllh cartloads of buffalo hides and olher furs, were told of the "shindig," and Invited hy passorsby to come along. The group was under the charge of Joe la Tour, a man who, wiih iho characteristics of his race, was bubbling over with that sense of humor and love of fun that won for him the genial favors of such company as he happened to be in. Joe, In commenting on the dlfferenl dances, particularly extoled Ihe merits of tho old-fashioned "reel a qualre." or "French fours." as some called it. This reel, being an unknown one among Ihe guests, lhe young men Insisted lhat an exhibition of "French lours" be given hy Joe and his companions. To llils request ihey readily agreed, and giving lhe violinist lire all' of lhe tune required, the lour men mailing one set, took possession of the centre of lhe llnor. The reel did nol seem lo he ii com- plicated one so tai as evolutions were concerned, Inn li required a skill in lhe ail of slop dancing Ihal Tew modern dances possess. They slop danced on the corners; they changed hands around, and they swung their partners to rnst time music with a speed ihal virtually lifted ihe lighter dancers off Iheh feel. One can readily conceive or ihe exhilarating effect and .the commotion caused whim sev oral (sets of lours held down the floor al the one lime. The vigorous hand- clapping thai lollowed this dance showed thai ii was appreciated and enjoyed by the spectators. Joe. feeling the Intoxication ol tlio dance In which ho had jusl taken pari, was nol qulle satisfied, Desiring more ol' It, he said to one of his companions, Napoleon More: "Poleon by lonalre, I heal you on de Red ReeUer .icon, ah?" "Ha gosh, Joe la Tour, I Ink' you on dad sure, me," he said. The challenge Issued and acocplod. all presenl were on edge wllh excite- mem at lhe prcspecis ol witnessing a contest lo ihem unique. Many of them had never even heard of this western historic dance, and few, if any, had over seen ii danced. Hut. judging from whal thej had seen ot Ihe step dancing ol lhe two men, ihey anticipated Ihal tho "Red 11, ever jeeg" would furnish ihem with some excitement, as well as give tin in a good exhibition ot step dancing. Tlio challenge and lis acceptance were accordingly greeted wiih rounds of hand- clapping and shouts of approval. .loo. elated by ihe encouragemeul lie had ihus received, proceeded to arrange wllh lho fiddler lor lho playing of the lively air required for this (lance, llul. as ihal personage seemed disinclined io undertake lhe laslt, Joe suggested io him to lend his "fedello" to ids other companion, Joan lo llcrge, who. he said, was a good 'Toddler." Tho owner ol lho instrument willingly ncceeded to his request. Thou calling le Herge, ho said, "Jean, com' here an' play do niusiquc for dis dance, an', ba lonalre, you play nice an' queek, an' I show 'Poleon I heel heciy dam' queek on his dance; ah?" "Al' ri'le, Joe la Tour," he said, "1 ITnk, me, 'Poleon, ho ees a good dancer, an' 1 am sure he hole vou on de floor; ah?" Jean look lho fiddler's seal and pro ded lo lime the violin, while the iwo contestants took thoir respective places as Ihey laced each olher on lhe centre ol the floor. Fli ally giving Ills body a heave, and slreichlng his arms io assure freedom of notion, ho drew lhe how across lhe strings as a signal lo preparo for action. Striking a lively air, the tool of lhe contestants quickly responded lo thc rhythmic motions Indicated by the lime and tune. Arms swinging, hands twitch ing kepi time will) the rapid motions of Ihe feet. Easier and raster Ihe time Increased, faster anil faster Ihe I'ect moyed In unison as thoy cul small circles in Ihe centre of the floor. "Plus fori! Jean, Plus fori!" shouts la Tour. Quickly, in response, tlie lime gained speed, and Ihe feet kepi time. On. on the furious pace kept on wilhoul sign of relaxation. Swinging lo the lime of Hie music, Jean's body and head moved as it in harmony wiih Ihe motions of the bow, and in time with Ihe movements of his fingers as they danced on the strings of the violin. The minutes passed, yet there was no relaxing. Tireless leet still kepi up In rapid motion to the fast lime and rhythm or the music. Arms and bodies swung and swayed In full sympathy. Though drops ot nersplralion trickled from Ihe brows of the nimble contestants, on the rapid moving feet rallied the tlmo on the hard door. Tensely the spectators watched; some in silent admiration; some keeping lime with Ihelr Iocs; some with the swaying of their bodies; and some wllh the clapping of IheTiands. And as the contest thus continued. Ihus it. held them in its grip, Even lhe squaws swaying to the intoxication and held In lhe grip or the exciting contest, first beat time and, finally, yielding to the call of their own wild music, gave way to a dialling refrain that Intensified in pilch us lhe music and the contest continued. They were exciting moments, and the excitement increased in intensity as wiih dogged persistency both men kept going. "Snip blng-lngl" Two of the fiddle strings gave way'to tile strain. Suddenly the music stopped, and. as slid- denly^he dancers ceased; neither one Ihe winner nor the loser, A sudden burst of applause followed lhe cessation of the danco, and each contestant received heartiest congratulations from Ihelr respective admirers. "Ha gar." panted Joe wiping the perspiration from his brow, as he withdrew, "she Is locky t'lng lor 'Poleon, de fedello, she broke. 1 don' know, me, ITnk he slop hi'seT precly queek soon; ah?" "Ha, ha.

Those bantering retorts from the sporty contestants were received with peals ol' laughter and Cheers of good- naiured amusement by Ihe admiring crowd, whose enjoyment of the conies! was manifested by their comments.

By your vote remove this obstruction to prosperity on June 20th. A vote for the Liberal Candidate is a vote for John Oliver, the engineer who will bring this Relief Express, bearing prosperity for British Columbia, safely through. It carries Equalized Freight Rates-the one fundamental that is essential to to the prosperity of every man, woman and child in this Province. N Equalized Freight Rates will bring millions to our Province; will double our population in ten years; will develop our ports; will bring to us basic manufacturing industries and their pay-rolls ; will develop the necessary market for our agricultural products. Equalized Freight Rates means more money—more industries- more people—lower taxes-lower cost of taxes. Equalized Freight Rates is the hinge on which the door to prosperity hangs. John Oliver and his Liberal Government have the key in the form of the sympathetic ear of a like Liberal Government at Ottawa. Your vote for the Liberal Candidate is a message to the industrial, financial and political interests of the East that you are behind John Oliver in his fight for prosperity. Remember this on June twentieth. VOTE LIBERAL ■>, i9 Provincial Party of British Columbia LET THERE BE LIGHT The readers of this publication have read in the two previous issues the platform of the Provincial Party which Mr. Harold R. Smith swears to uphold. You no doubt will wonder how such a complete and comprehensive platform for the salvation of British Columbia could have been devised. The story is easily told. The Platform is the outcome of Resolutions, and the resolutions are the thoughts of men and women, put into words, who want our Province to rise from its slough of machine politics ; who want to see the end of wasteful extravagance which causes hardship to the people through grinding taxation. At the Provincial Party Convention in Vancouver, December last, these Resolutions were given for our benefit by those assembled, who represented all shades of opinion from every part of the Province. There were Miners, Lumbermen, Engineers, Laborers, Railwaymen, Lawyers, Businessmen, Housewives, Farmers, Contractors, and all kinds and classes. Some were Laborites, Socialists, Communists, Liberal and Conservative, others had no previous political leanings. All had the Interest of our Province at heart and gave of what they had to offer freely. The 250 Delegates freely discussed the resolutions and unanimously agreed to the following, upon which the platform of the Provincial Party is supported. RESOLUTIONS-Contlnued. 28.

C, Alberta and Saskatchewan can be confined with a view to securing their permanent cure. 41. Export of Logs.—Whereas quantities of timber are (being cut from forests In British Columbia and taken out of the province in an unmanufactured condition; And whereas this practice is resulting in the exploitation of one ot our most valuable natural resources, to the detriment of the Interests ot the people of this province; And whereas said practice has resulted In large numbers of wage-earners being forced to leave the province in order to Obtain employment elsewhere; And whereas the manufacture of all British Columbia timber within the province would materially Increase employment In the province In all branches of industry and business; And whereas it Is essential that the present practice bo put a stop to; And whoroas a number of people in this provlneo are now employed In the logging camps of tho province, and n large sum of money ls Invested therein; And whereas It is just and equitable that proper notice of any drastic change In tho present practice bo given; Therefore be It resolved that this convention is of the opinion that every reasonable step should be taken by the .government to prevent the exportation of unmanufactured timber from this province. 42.

But the seeds of conflict are on either side of the Pacific Ocean and it behooves ibis country io watch witli incessant vigilance every turn in the most tremendous problem confronting the world.

"Tiie government of Canada wlll havo a first-class revolution on Its hands in the Northwest Territories unless the tactics in respect, to migratory birds are changed," said Col, Cornwall.

The wild fruits of Canada am numerous and varied. They are found in abundance in practically every pari of the Dominion where the settler is likely to go. Fruits such aa the currant, gooseberry, raspberry and strawberry grow wild almost or quite to the Arctic circle, the flavor of these native fruits being unexcelled, for the most part, by that of the cultivated varieties. Over a large part, ol Eastern Canada the blueberry grows In great profusion and is considered one of the most delicately flavored of all fruits. The cranberry is found wild Over a very wide area and the liigli- bush cranberry, or pembtna, makes an excellent substitute where the low- growing species does not grow. lu addition to these there are many other fine wild fruits, such as the saskatoon or juncberry, particularly valuable in the prairie provinces, the choke cherry, Qf very fine flavor though somewhal astringent, the pin or btl'd cherry, making excellent jelly, tlie bufTaloberry, also a useful fruit on the prairies, and, mom limited in adaptation, the blackberry*' salmon- berry and cloudberry and several other fruits of less importance. The wild Canadian plums are found all through Eastern Canada and inlo iho prairie provinces, These vary much in size and quality, but are excellent for canning, jam or jelly. The wild grape, while njt an important fruit, because of Us small size and the fact that cultivated varieties can so readily be obtained, is very hardy and is found native throughout Eastern Canada and as far northwestward as Northern Manitoba. While, as has been stated, there is an abundance and great variety of wild fruit In Canada, Ihe climatic condl lions are such that cultivated ov improved varieties of most of these and oilier kinds are grown in enormous quantities, commercially, in certain great fruit district's the bulk of the crop is grown for distribution to all parts of Canada which can be reached in a reasonable time by railroad and Bleambont, Much fruit is senl overseas also.

Agassiz and Harrison Mills not, only need the highway, but the isolated communities along Its route have suffered great hardship, Which now Is fully due for remedy. The gains will be inestimable to the fiettleitg nnd farmers : travellers and tourists will be able to1 take tlio North route or the Soulh, or, what will better suit, they may utilize tho "belt line;" a rightful share of the gains from tourists from the South will become the earning of the North bank citizens j socially, industrially, and in trade relationships, the now very much disjointed vicinities will link up. They are similar though dissociated. Theirs will become a common Interest ns woll aa a common crowning triumph !

(See advt,) NEW INDUSTRY STARTING UP Owing to the Increased number of campers coming from different parf.s of B.C., also froinU.S.A., during tho summer to Cultus Lake, one of the beauty spots of B.C., and all the travel being- by automobile, it has become necessary to have a permanent service station for the accommodation of visitors. Agassiz people will be delighted as well as interested In. the fact that Mr. Evan Inkman and Mr. Eric Cotterel have secured an option fnom Chiliiwack, and are establishing an up-to-date service station to supply gas and accessories, car service and everything in emergency, which will be a great accommodation to the travelling publlo, especially as these two young mon are both experts on cars of all kinds.

A feature most noticeable; wqp that somo of the finest and newest sweet peas were Ml full bloom the last week in May, The vegetable garden is, perhaps, not so beautiful ; the only way it can be defjribed Is that it Is just grand.

These show the result of intensive feeding they received during the winter, and the large number of cattle recently coming forward indicate that West- cm farmers have greatly enlarged their winter feeding operations over what prevailed two or three years ago. In order to encourage this business the railways last fall reduced the freight rates on feeder cattle taken out from the stockyards to the country to one-half the regular rates, and the co-operative cattle pool announced that no com mission would be charged farmers purchasing such cattle from the pool. Many of the good cattle recently received at^the yards were purchased by farmers last fall in uniform loads carefully sorted up by the pool, and shipped out under the reduced railway rates. Winter feeding operations have on the whole made a very satisfactory return to a large number of farmers, and cattle purchased at from four to four and a half cents a pound have been resold this spring at from six and a half to seven cents a pound, or occasionally more, after making a gain in weight often averaging two hundred pounds or more. Many western cattle are now moving east, both to packing plants, for export to Great Britain, and to Ontario farms for further intensive feeding. Many loads of pool cattle are consigned direct to farmers in Ontario who have placed orders for them. To get these cattle to destination in the quickest possible time and to avoid as far as possible shrinkage losses in transit, the Canadian National Railways operate a special fast through cattle train daily from Winnipeg to the east, and cattle for this movement are loaded up each evening about seven o'clock. relno, and the chi'.dren carried white roses, Hiss Connie Chippendale, Miss Catherine Dewar, and Misses Helen and Bernlce McRae served the refresh* ments.
