New Westminster, March 20.—
(Special)—Local Manager F. R.
Glover of the British Columbia
Electric Railway will leave in a
few weeks for the Okanagan conn-
at that hour of the night. Despite this fact a number of willing
hands were soon at work with the
fire equipment, and once the water
was applied the conquering of the
blaze was a short task. This was
not done; however, until- after the
kitchen had been almost completely burned and the contents badly
future. He resigned his position
with the Electric Company some
time ago, but he has not yet been
relieved of his duties.
Mr. Glover haa proved a most
popular and efficient official, and
jus many friends in this city will
regret to hear of his intended departure  from   the   city.      Mrs.

however, is fully covered by insurance in companies represented by
J. M. Wright, who readily adjusted the claim and the damage will be
replaced without delay. That the
fire resulted in no greater damage
is indeed, fortunate, and Mr. Wallace owes the saving from the complete destruction of his dwelling
and contents to the water system
of the town—not forgetting the
heroic efforts of those who were on
the scene to apply the same and to
render every assistance possible.

Creamery Patronage Growing.
Bnttermaker Christian reports
already a noticeable increase in
the receipts of cream at the Okanagan creamery, and aInisy season
is foreshadowed for that institution
during the coming summer. The
creamery is an institution that has
never yet received that measure of
patronage to which it is entitled
commensurate with its advantages
to the community, and it is pleasing
to note that the farmers are now
apparently coming to a realization
of its benefits and under the satisfactory management and operation
of tho past year it is now promised
the most successful season of its
existence.

A despatch received Saturday
from Ottawa says: Mr. Duncan

morning, Buffering from diphtheria.
On reaching Ottawa, a week ago.
from British Columbia, Mr. Ross'

hospital nursing the child, nnd
now Mr. Ross has had to join them.
The child 1b improving and Mr.
Ross getting along as well as could

Okanagan and Glanders.
The protest of the Okanagan
farmers against the wholesale destruction of horses supposed to be
suffering from glanders has received some justification in the action
of the Dominion government in
withdrawing the veterinary in-'
spector from Vuncouver and recalling him to Ottawa, This only
took place after horses to the value
of $75,000 had been destroyed in
and around the Terminal City.
This action is said to bo due to the
fact that close scientific inquiry
tends to increase the doubt us to
the absolute reliability of mullein
as a test for this pestiferous disease. It seems that the process
adopted is the injection of mullein
into animals supposed to be suffering, nnd if the result is that the
temperature riseB two degrees the
horses are destroyed after three
tests. This is altogether too technical a subject upon which to speak
with any degree of assurance. The
law muBt be obeyed, and so long
as the mullein test receives the
approval of the expert government
oilvisers, there was no alternative
but to accept its conclusions.
Now, however, that a reasonable
doubt has arisen, the matter should
be authoritatively dealt with. The
Week.
Armstrong Hockey Club.
The frosty nights of the past
couple of weeks caused the return
of good skating on the Enderby rink
and n number of our young people
havo spent some of the evenings
there. On Monday night some of
the boys attempted to meet the
Enderby hockey players in a game.
Some of our boys knew a hockey
stick when they saw it and some of
them didn't, yet their undaunted
nerve would not suffer the refusal
of a challenge, hence the attempt at
playing. We are ashamed of tin-
score made by them, However by
next winter Armstrong hopes to
have a rink where practice can be-
inc1ulgedji.ii. and we will then have
a team that will meet on the ice
anything in the valley.

____| ! on the proposition of borrowing I
820.000 on the credit of the municipality for the purpose of making
[the main roads according to  the
1 the most   improved   ffiethdos   of
mad making.     This idea has been
advocated by some of  the prominent citizens of the municipality
for some time nnd it is mainly for
the purpose of having the matter
considered in all its phases that the
reeve has brought the matter out.
There are some features of the
proposition that appear reasonable
and lead us to favor the   scheme.
By putting the highways in permanent repair now the use of the
roads would certainly be enjoyed
during the   time the debentures
were being paid   off,   while  those
residents that  follow the present
population would   be  required to
contribute toward the roads of the

already cropped out some "strik-
ing" exhibitions of latent scyence.
C. H. Hardy has changed his
mind as to the location of his proposed residence and will stay by
Armstrong instead of removing to
Vernon as reported a couple of
weeks ago. He is now preparing
to build on his property just out of
town, the Bite for which is now being fenced. Armstrong people
generally will be glad to know that
he and his estimable family are
not to leave town.
L. W. Patten, municipal assessor, will soon begin   his  task  of
completing this year's assessment.
St. Patricks A feature of the assessment this
It was cele- > season, differing from that former-
presence of ly practiced, will be that the assessor will visit every residence of
the municipality, in this way se
curing a complete list of all assess- ^ only lnst
able property within the municipality. While considerably more
labor will devolve upon the assessor
it is expected the municipality will
very materially benefit through a
more complete listing of prpperty
subject to taxation.
E. B. Herman, C. E., of Vancou- \
ver, spent a few days here during
the past week, being engaged by
the Armstrong Power and Light
Co. in making the survey of Davis
creek and the location of their proposed power plant. Mr. Herman
is recognized as one of the best
civil engineers of the province or
of the west, and the fact that his
report on the capacity of Davis
creek as a power generator wns satisfactory to the company should allay the lack of confidence among
those who have questioned the successful installation of an electric
power plant here.
F. R. Glover, the recent purchaser of the Bhary farms on the hill
west of the town, is now a resident
of the Armstrong district, having
arrived from New Westminster the
beginning of the week with a car
packed chock full of household effects. Mr. Glover is a man of wide
experience, and is giving up a
good position as local manager of
the B. C. Electric Light  Co., at
j'New Westminster to become a resident of our district, to which, it is

adjoining. Ed. left with his family for Kamloops Wednesday,
where he will probably find a loci-

C. L. Christian, the harness

new stock of spring goods to his
store. Farmers will find anything

The ladies have had their innings the past week. Last Thursday was spring opening day at Mm,
Fisher's millinery store, and as a
consequence many of us who are
unfortunate (?) enough to be mar-
ried have had to "dig up" for" the
new Easter bonnet that forms the
headgear of our better half for the
present season. While we are quite
incompetent to judgo or name the
latest creations— that's all a man
can call them—of the season, we
may say that the spring stock displayed by onr local milliner includes   some   handsome designs,
ing a retired residence.
O. R, Warren and family left
Tuesday for a trip to Saskatchewan, having rented his place here
for the present season. Mrs. Warren will visit relatives while O. R.
will spend some time in looking
over the country along the new
line of the Canadian Northern, and
if he finds anything to suit him,
on which he considers room for
speculation will invest in a piece
of land. He will return here to
reside in the fall.
The lady ball tossers now have
their organizations completed, with
a full complement of officers, managers, etc., as well as fully supplied
list of players. Practice has been
indulged in during some of the afternoons of the past week and if
the feminine courage holds out we
may reasonably look forward to a
good exhibition of lady ball playing during the coming season. The
initial game of the season will be
on Easter Monday—ladies vs. high
school girls.-
