Tom Midford along with G. Hendren of Creston, tried out the fishing  ax Summit Creek on Sunday, both  making fine catches of trout.  The deal for the purchase of the  Adams ranch was completed last  week, and the place is now the  property of M. R. Palmer. The deal  was put through by R. Lamont, and  was spot cash transaction.

Henry Hamilton of Erickson last  week finished the clip of the flock of  sheep at the Company farm, and re  ports the clip of wool a decidedly fine  one. He had about 80 of them to shear  aud states that tbe fleeces will average almost eighj; pounds each.

Miss Alice Carr left on Tuesday for  B i If our, where we hear she has taken  a position at the sanitarium at that  point.  Miss Dal ton, who has been a visitor  with her sister, Mrs. W. H.

The most nol able land sale in tbe  Valley this yeai was put through the  latter part of the week when Truscott  Bros, piu chased the fine 20-acre Lamont ranch at the corner.

However, it is hoped the  trouble will be .adjusted within a  couple of weeks, as strawberries will  be moving about the middle of the  month.  Creston is now a distributing point  for the Imperial Oil Co., which this  week put a car of oil and gasoline in  stock here in charge H. S. McCreath,  who is utilizing a vacant Mercantile  Co. warehouse for storage. The oil  company propose putting in a tank  here next year. As a result of this  shipment the price of gosolina is now  down to 50 cents a gallon at all the  garages.  Two more returned soldiers will be  in employ of the provincial government starting this month, as fire*wary  dens. It is announced that Geo.

The July meeting is set for Tuesday,  the eighth, owing to the first Tuesday  being a holiday���������Dominion Day.  A. Lindley of the B.C.Fruit Market,  Lethbridge, Alta., was here this week  looking up 1918 clients and prospective 1919 shippers through his firm. He  reports that up to the present Southern Alberta has been adequately supplied with moisture and crop conditions are first-class. He looks for an excellent season for the fruitgrowers  this year, with berrfes selling at ex-  oeptionally fayorable prices for the  grower.  Mrs. Payette and family arrived  fr om Creston last week, to join her  husband, who is now in the employ of  Monrsd Wigen as boss teamster.  A. Lindley, tbe well-known fruit  wholesaler, of Lethbridge, Alta., was  a visitor here over the week-end, and  reports the market right for top prices  in berries this year.  Mrs, Bathie left on Thursday last  for Cranbrook, where she will spend  a few weeks. She has not been feeling  real well lately and it is expected the  vacation will restore her former  health.

Miss Lizzie Piggot, who was for a  few days with Mrs. Rosendale, returned to Kamloops,  on Monday.  Messrs. Moon and Bathie were at  Summit Creek on Sunday for the first  of the sesson's fishing, and both made  splendid catches. On Wednesday the  Uri boys, Matt. Hagen and O. Ring-  hein tried the same stream but came  up rathe*; lightly loaded.  A good  soaker of rain any day now  will bring the berry crop in fine style,  with the first snipment expected to go  out in about ten days.  Monrad Wigen has completed the  tow of logs faom ois winter camp near  the Carr ranch, making the haul in  thren booms.  A rather painful accident befell Oswald, the young son of Clem.

Lowery  errs slightly when he observes that  "John Keen, M.P.P.', of Kaslo, is  said to the champion handshaker of  the silvery west."  While tlie local member is in his  element at effort of this sort, yet  when it conies to being the foremost glad hander in Kootenay all  hats come off to James H. Schofield, M.P.P. When it comes to  the "Put 'er there, old man," stuff  t lie member for Trail has "em all  beaten in these parts.  Now that he is enjoying himself  in the cool shades of opposition if  he will seize the opportunity thus  offered to become even 50 per cent.  as efficient at oratory there will be  no denying him a place in the next  Conserative administration.  In the Liiberal landslide of 1916  Jim was one of the very few of the  old guard that came out on top,  and in cabinet construction seasoned timber must have the preference.  When his turn comes to go up  higher politically the Vaiiey will  hope his destination will be the  lands department. James is first,  last and all the time a Kootenay  Flats reclamationist.  occassion. Lieut. Smith will be an  active champion of the soldiers' features of the undertaking. Mr. Bennett needs no credentials as to ability to satisfactorily handle memorial  finances, while Messrs. Crawford  and Swanson will be equally efficient in getting the erection of the  monument hustled with all convenient speed.  If you have any suggestion of  any sort to offer in connection with  this good work the members of the  committee hope none will be bath-  ful in offering them, aud submitting them early, so that they all  may be given at least the once over  before a final decision is reached  ���������which will be at no distant date.  It is a public undertaking and it  is desirable, that such of the citizens who have something to offer  should be heard from���������before construction starts; not afterward.  Now, don't all speak at once.  stuff has taken   at   other   centres.

The Ideal Site  If funds will be available for the  purchase of a reasonably-priced site  for the monument we would like  to suggest she vacant lot between  The Review office and the drugstore.

Another weakness to the present  site is that all the stormy winds  that blow make a clean sweep  around the corner and at times the  matter of floral decoration is out  of the question.  The site we have mentioned has  quite ample space to permit of  flower beds being laid out, flowering shrubs planted, as well as giv  ing some needed space for the guns  or other souvenirs that the War  Trophies Board will supply for decorative effect.  The buildings on either side could  be given the correct color scheme  in the way of painting, and with a  lattice fence at the back a very effective setting for the pillar could  bo had.

Pending the coming in of the  cherry crop which (following the  lead of a certain brand of Milwaukee beer) has made Kaslo famous,  one readily forgives the editor of  the Kootenaian for playing up the  the Beatty banquet at Nelson to  show    forth     the    prominence   of  T*T" iv o"\ r\  In this connection the Kootenaian observed after this fashion:  'Kaslo was represented by Hon.  John Keen, M.P.P., James Anderson, and ye editor, all of whom contributed to the oratory of the evening, so that in proportion to its  size Kaslo was undoubtedly making more noise than any other  point in the great Kootenay   coun-  ~vy.       li-iltx, oe it, Sana, in    im6    n-iui-  zens mentioned Kasio has a trio of  notable noisemakers���������since Bro.  Power wiii so designate them.  Mr. Keen is the personification  of all that one expects of ar Englishman speaker of the old school.  Mr. Anderson, while possibly not  quite so eloquent or so extensive a  speaker, did the honors quite acceptably for Uie Scotch, while Bro.  Power delivered in fine style for the  Irish; in fact, judging by the extended report giyen his speech, his  effort ranked second only to President Beatty and possibly Mr.  Warren of the Trail smelter.  On their after dinner performance at Nelson, and should the current political rumor become fact and  Messrs. Keen and Anderson be political opponents in the next provio-  ial contest, the Kaslo riding will  witness a campaign that will be  well worthy of the historic political traditions of this part of Kootenay; a fight in which the "come on,  Macduff, and damned bo he who  first cries hold! enough i" slogan  will he adopted by both parties.  In its way the banquet was quite  an occasion for Kaslo, and certainly  the city's three doughty champions  made all tho bricks possible on the  available su pply of straw.

A feature to the incident  that is particularly gratifying is that  50 per cent, of the Jerseys that figured  in the all-Canada performance tests  are owned in British Columbia.

Evf-n though the Jersey breed is  ���������Buch suittller than uny of those other  dairy breeds, still she leads theui all  by a wide margin. The dual purpose  cow has not a chance when it comes to  production compared with the Jersey  (a special dairy animal of the oldest  and purest breeding of any of the  dairy breeds).  That the British Columbia Jerseys  are more than holding their own with  the rest of the Canadian Jerseys may  be seen by the fact that all eight prizes  for production given last year by the  O..I.C. came to British Colnmbi-i.

The Fruit Growers1 Union unloaded  another ear of raspberry crates on  Monday, there being about 2000 of the  madeup sort in the lot. Rasps look  particularly good this season, and the  Union is stocking np to 8000 crates to  take care of this business.  J. K. Chorlton was a Sunday visitor  at Bonners Ferry.

The visitor about 18 years ago was a considerable property holder in the Eriekson  section, among his holdings then being  the R. J. Long and other ranches. He  still maintains that in aii B.C. there is  nothing quite so good as the Creston  Valley.  J. D. Moore, provincial road superintendent, Kaslo, was here the latter  part of the week making an inspection  of the new road making that is under  way at Goatfell. The high water on the  flats isic^.te to eat up a chunk of  this year's appropriation. Already  considerable damage has been done,  and the worst uf the high water  troubles by no means past.
