lay.     Chief Justice Hunter, t o
whom was left the matter of de-
| ciding whether or not the promoters hud earned the right  to the
j Subsidy, has decided  in favor of
the coinpany.'so that question need
i cause no further delay in the con-
j struction, the government having
■ practically assured the payment of
| the subsidy in the event of the de-
j cision'being favorable to the company.
Harry Seydel, foreman of construction on the road during the
i time work has been done, was in-
j terviewed at Armstrong with re-
! gnrd to the road last Tuesday. He
stated that the matter of financing
the road would meet with no difficulty, there being several capital-
ists.nnxious to furnish funds for
tho project. At least $300,000 i s
available at once from one source,
and it is the intention of t h e
company to proceed forthwith to
pay all obligations, after which
active work of construction will
again be commenced. It was his
opinion that work would' be commenced within the next six weeks
at both ends of the line, in which
case construction crews would begin simultaneously at both Midway
and Vernon.

Great excitement prevoils in
southern Alberta and near the
enstern boundary of B. C. over the;
discovery of oil. It is claimed;
that the extent of the discoveries
and excellent quality of the oil'
promises in the near future a
practically cutting in two of the
present prices of kerosene. Re-,
fineries are proposed to be established, which will be of the very
latest know designs Whereby the I
Oil will be refined at a much lessi
cost than at present costing the ■
eastern refineries.
The Provincial Fair.
The prize lists for the provincial
fair at New Westminster are xe-
pecteil to be distributed the taut of
the month. That the managers
nre determined to leave nothing
undone is evinced by the large,
issue of prize lists of which there
will be 10,000. or the same number
that was issued for the Dominion
Fair last year. It is hoped that
Armstrong fanners and others
will bear the provincial fair in mind
ami be prepared to send down u
first class exhibit.
Double Train Service.
The double train service on the

Ladies' Auxiliary.
A meeting of the Ladies' Guild
in connection with St. James'
church was held nt the residence
of Mrs. Henry Hawkins on Thursday, March 29th, to welcome the
new vicar's wife and diBcuss the
udvisibility of forming a branch
of the W. A. in place of the Guild.
Mrs.Poole stated the object of the
meeting and called on Mrs. King
to address the ladies. In response
Mrfc.King thanked the ladies for
the cordial welcome extended to
her and said she felt much more at
home in Armstrong than she had
thought it possible in so short u
time, and felt confident the ladies
would work most harmoniously to-
gather in a Guild or W. A., which
ever they decided upon. Being a
very enthusiastic member of the
W. A., Mrs. King then very forcibly laid before the meeting the
many advantages of the W. A„
among others being that it tends
to deepen the spirituality and
broaden the minds of the members.
The unanimous feeling of the
meeting was thnt a branch of the
W. A. be organized at once to be
known as the W. A. branch of St.
James' church, Armstrong. Consequently the election of officers
was proceeded with, resulting as
follows:--President, Mrs. King;
VicH-Pres., Mrs. Poole; Secretary,
Mrs. Morgan; Trims., Mrs, Jackson
Membership:
Mesdiunes Hawkins, Becker,
King, Wyiitt,Grny, Poole, Holmes.
Jackson, Smiley. Fletcher Struth-
enrn, Holtby, McCUntOck and
Morgan, and Miss Harding.
Meetings to be held on tlie second Thursday of each month at
the residence of the different members excepting the April meeting
which will be held on the third
Thursday April 19th, .Mr. King
being requested to hold a special
service in the church with address
and music appropriate to t h e
occasion. A meeting for business
will be held afterwards at the residence of Mrs. Morgan.
Membership fee was pluciil at
10 cents per month, payabl.i monthly or in advance as deemed expedient to the members. Members desiring to hand a donation to
the treasurer at the end of the
year are welcome to do so.
Meeting closed with the benediction.
A cordial invitation is extended
to all the ladies of St. James
church to attend the meetings.

ating of the church for the Easter

this portion of the valley is not
one, to say the least, to he commended and one that should be
heartily discouraged in the Okanagan. Some of the excursionists of

much as investigate the northern
part of tlie Okanagan stated thnt
they hod been persistently informed that this part of the valley was.

they frankly admitted that they

of the falsi y of such malicious
