Fire Guts Implement Store Mr Elliott suffers great loss in early morning conflagration Many motor cars consumed by the flames. A fire broke out about a quarter to three last Tuesday morning, the cause ot which cannot be at present understood. The building attacked was the implement store of Mr. S. T. Elliott, situated at the edge of < the business part of the town. No one was living in the store, and no fire left anywhere near the place the fire broke out. Several theories have been set foward by the people, amongst which is one that spontaneous combustion of oily rags was the cause of the conflagration. Mr. Elliott, however, had just had the place cleaned out, ready for his new stock of automobiles, and considers the theory of combustion absolutely impossible. He is almost sure that the fire was started from the outside, and the fact that two gasoline cans were found opened in the locality where the fire started, makes this question look more likely. The first person to see the fire was Mr. Wilson, who immediately rushed to the fire hall to give the alarm, and at the same time to give a hand with the hose reel, while Dr. and Mrs. Knox, who have their premises opposite the store, sent in the alarm by telephone. It was lucky, however, that Mr. Wilson ran down to the fire hall, •for' the telephone operator got mixed, and instead of putting in the correct plugs, put in the ones at the front of the board, which did not ring up the power house. Consequently the alarm was delayed for a few minutes, until Mr." Millie came down - ' and put ' matters right ''" The fire brigade was on the scene before the general alarm was given, and soon got the hose playing on the flames. The alarm roused numbers of the townspeople, and several hands were soon on the scene to give a help in saving the property near by. By this time the east part of the building was well alight, and <all efforts to save it were futile. The fire played round about the automobiles and buggies that were in the store, and soon reduced them to a shapeless mass. The flames lept high into the air, but as there was little or no wind, the fire was confined to its original quarter. The work of the fire brigade can be commended, for they did good business in saving the office and surrounding buildings from general destruction. The flames soon caught a hold of the upper storey* in which was stored numerous buggies and other stock of a highly inflammable nature. Soon the flames lept high out of the roof and threatened the wood work which was in course of erection to receive the cement for the new garage, which was being built for Mr. Elliott. In a short time the brigade had the flames well under control, and within an hour from the time the fire was first discovered, the possibility of a spread was reduced to a minimum, as the flames were entirely subdued. The fire boys, however, continued to play upon the debris until every vestage of fire was extinguished. The office, which was in the building and only partitioned off from the main building by a thin boarding, was saved, and that together with the books, receipts and other papers and moneys, owing chiefly to the efforts of the brigade who broke in the windows and made a. spread in this direction an impossibility. The loss sustained by Mr. Elliott is great, and will amount tp somewhere about $16,000, of which some $8,000 is covered by insurance, upon which cldim was immediately made. The fire certainly came at a bad time, for it was only recently that Mr. EUiott received one or two car loads of implements and machinery, and only just a sew weeks ago that the first shipments of automobiles arrived. It is understood that these automobiles carried no insurance, and that the sum of $6,000 was upon them for payment—this will be a direct loss to Mr. Elliott, and will be the larger part of his liability in respect to the fire, inasmuch as he had just received the goods, and the insurance on'them had not been finally adjusted and the policy issued. It was Mr. Elliott's plan to to have taken o"t a policy ' to cover, such a loss, but had delayed doing so, owing to a press of work. When the building was in full blaze, Mr. Bert Johnstone and Mr. W.,Crawford entered the office to save some of the contents and the books. Mr. Johnstone was keeping the books belonging to the Kelowna Brewery Co., in Mr. Elliott's office, and his trip into the burning building was not without some danger, at the same time he secured the books, which were slightly damaged by soot and water. Mr. Elliott's books, despite a good wetting, were found intact, together with the majority of his papers and correspondence. These were practically the only - things saved from the fire; the contents being a total loss, save a few pieces of harness that wese hung up in the office, and which may be found of some good. On Tuesday morning, the work of looking over the debris was started, with the result that nothing .oLany,value .was to be-found., • ; If the fire had not occurred, -the change in name of ownership of one car would have possibly taken place that day. Several important deals were practically closed. In the case of one car, the trial trip had actually been- made, previous Jo final purchase. Mr. Elliott will possibly take a small office in town until his new cement garage is completed, the work of which will be urged on without delay. This being completed, he will have his implement store re-built Rutland News. (From our own correspondent.) A. M.

New Fruit Distributing House at Weyburn A big fruit distributing house been Secured for Weyburn. Mr. Jas. Simington, of Moose Jaw, president of a company to be known as the Weyburn Jobbers as Company .Limited, last week signed a contract with the town council to erect a warehouse on the property adjoining that to be occupied by Cameron and Heap, wholesale grocers, adjoining the C. P. R. station. The company will put up an $8,000 building forthwith. The building wille be 65 by 165 feet, and will be completed by October 1st. It is the expectation of the company that an enlargement of the building will be necessary within a year or two to cope with the Mr. Winslow Explains Demonstration Orchards Government Horticulturist Delivers Interesting Speech at Vernon on the Department's Plans. business which is expected to be offered.

New Henry Irving Statue Big Engines for B. C. It is announced in railway circles that 11 new engines of the big Adantic type will be brought out for service on the Thompson and Cascade divisions. of the C. P. R. They will number from 1190 to 1199. One of these engines left the shops at Winnipeg last week and should reach Kamloops in a day or two.' The big locomotives are capable of handling considerably more freight than the present ones and will alleviate the present serious conditions occasioned by a shortage of motive power. Westbank News.- ( From our own correspondent.) The long promised Irving statue is to be erected at last, and it is possible that the effigy of England's most noted actor will be unveiled in June or July by Sir John Hare.

Want Lower Freight Rates The Edmonton board of trade is taking action to protest against the request of the Vancouver board of trade before the railway committee for cheaper rates on goods brought in from Vancouver over the mountains to the prairie cities. Other western cities may join with Edmonton in the protest as, if Vancouver secures these rates, their wholesale houses would be able to compete with western wholesalers in their own territory. . Edmonton will also protest against what they claim to be discriminating rates on goods coming in from the east. Rev. Jas.

The new opera house at Armstrong was opened on Wednesday _ when the local choral society gave making the best possible selection a concert I of a site. At a meeting held in Vernon last week,' the subject of demonstration orchards was brought up by Mr. Winslow, provincial horticulturist, and he practically explained the whole affair to the people. He told them that the question of establishing experimental stations in the Okanagan was one that had received world wide comment, and that it was the desire of the Dept. of Agriculture to establish a farm or farms in the Okanagan district as soon as possible, at the same time he could not promise that the farms would be started right away. He spoke at considerable length and said that the subject had been misunderstood by the majority of people, and he wished to make clear that the proposed demonstration orchards were not to be considered as the experimental farms that were talked about many months ago. The work of experimental farms had been undertaken in this and other provinces by the dominion government and as already over 50 applications from various districts had been received for demonstration orchards it would be manifes- dy impossible for the provincial government to buy land and conduct expermental stations at these places. The cost of 50 ten-acre farms for the land alone would be at least $125,000 to say nothing of the maintenance. This would of course 7'"b.e.' entirely beyond the reach*v of 'bur provincial finances'. There will be no experimental work done on these demonstration orchards. To experiment is to get new varieties, new methods, etc.; but the horticultural department is assured that they already know enough about the requirements of each district to be , able to leave experimental work .aside, and to grow trees successfully. Their idea was to put into practice what they already know, and to demonstrate what may be done to make fruit growing a commercial undertaking. This would' furnish an object lesson that would be of the greatest possible value to the various districts where the orchards were run under this plan. The object was to get a man in this district who owned land, who was an enthusiast on fruit growing and who intended to devote his time to that business, when such a man was found he would be approached by the government and an agreement drawn up between them whereby the government would agree to furnish nursery stock of the best variety, and suitable for the locality and also to have the land planted. A member of the department would supervise all the cultivation, spraying and pruning in season, and the owner of the property would agree to keep all accounts so as to show {*U8t exacdy what the land would >e from a commercial stand point. The Government would supply the pump for spraying and would perhaps pay a certian amount of the expenditure on operations. It however was useless' to talk about establishing the farm this spring for at the present time the nurseries were sold out of their first class stock, and also of their best varieties. In every case the matter would resolve itself largely intp the best possible arrangement that could be made with the individual owners of the land selected/and the local conditions would govern the plan of operations. As far as Vernon was concerned applications would be received by Mr. B. Hoy from those possessing suitable- land in the district and who would enter into, ah agree* ment with the government. Aft<jr the applications were in, a committee would be formed, consisting of the members of the farmers' institute to assist the officials The government is anxious to take the matter up this in district as soon as possible, for the reason. that 70 per cent of the fruit grown in the province comes from the Okanagan.and the sooner a demonstration orchard was established, the better it would be for the growers who desired to grow their fruit in a more scientific manner, and to get a better market and marketable rates. M im m m Big Money for Roads This Year With- the spring well started* it is likely that the government •-; work on roads, bridges, etc., will;;; be forging ahead in greet ;8tyle,7 and the work this year will eclipse ; all previous efforts of the department. The big appropriation made by the government for pubA lie works is sufficient to warrant this statement About $40,000 has been invested in up-to-date road-making machinery, including numerous powerful rock crushers. The very general use of the donkey engine has been adopted in connection with road construction through heiavily .tim-Av „.. bered country. It/is the^«^ntipih?s||i the minister of y^dirlt8:to.,^^^f<M^S wardaik_-»^ikundertaJ_eo a' permanent basis; More ^j^tftii_l- J ly will this be the case in respect to the trunk lihes, and all these; roads will be crowned and macadamised. In permanent road making and bridge construction the department, propose to spend nearly double last year's estimate, and the Okanagan comes in for a full share of this expenditure, a recognition which should be very gratifying to residents here. The distribution for &e year is as follows: Salmon Arm section, $2190; Mara, $2220; Enderby, $9645 ; Vernon, $6357; Lumbly, $5502; Shuswap, $6300; Mable Lake. $4500; Cherry Creek, $69|90; Whiteman Creek. $7020; Big Horn; $5940; Rainbow,$19770-,KelowA na, $14985;. Westbank. $6030; Peachland, $5700 ; Summerland, $8,400; and Naramata, $5,600. .Mr. Hamilton Lang and Mr. Michael Heron, are at present looking over this part of the district and scheming on several nsw roadsi and already several new roads are being planned out and surveyed on both sides of the lake. Good roads are suggestive of the great influx of population which ia expected this year. Besides adding to the value of present property, a good deal of new land will be opened up. h al E. E. Sampson, manager of the Okanagan Fruit Union, considers that the prospects are excellent for a heavy fruit crop in the valley this year.

The fire calls in the first place are not sufficiently intelligible, but worse than that, the roundabout way of sending in the alarm makes so much delay possible that it can not be regarded as either safe or efficient. Tuesday morning's fire was an object lesson. The fact that a person was able to see the fire in Mr. Elliott's premises and have time to run to the fire hall and awaken the boys there, and that they should actually arrive upon the scene with their apparatus before the power house whistle sounded, is surely sufficient to warrant the statement that a change is necessary. At present if a person notices a fire during the night, he has first of all to gain access to a phone, which might not be easy, especially at any distance from the centre of the town. He might not know who had a phone, and if he did, the owners would have to be aroused. This initial step accomplished, a sleeping operator at the exchange has to be called up, and aroused to sufficient consciousness to so manipulate his switchboard that the staff at the power house will be made aware that a fire is in progress, and its locality. The power house staff then sound the hooter. This is altogether too slow for these go-ahead times. The , way the fire boys get to their work shows they are a whole lot slicker than the system of calling them. The question of establishing direct communication from the street to the power house and fire hall should be taken up without delay. A few minutes delay may mean thousands of dollars loss, and when we have a good and enthusiastic fire "brigade, it is a pity to hamper their efforts with a blundering way-back system of calls. The council have lately been considering the advisabilty of a separate fire syren for the power house, and there is no doubt that a distinct "hoot," entirely different from anything we have at present, would remove a good deal of the doubt and confusion which at present exists. The code of long and short whistles has never been officially published, and there ] are many people who do not know the meaning of the long and short signals, and they are difficult to catch anyway unless one is listening intently for them. Coming down town a few evenings back after an alarm had been sounded, we met a man in his shirt sleeves wending his way homeward, and his "wind" all gone to pieces. "Well, where's the fire?" we asked. '', " Fire! " he gasped — and fire was in his eye—"there! ain't no fire I I'll be some- thinged if a fellow knows when to run in this blame town I" VERNON The Vernon Council have decided to call for tenders for piping and trench laying on Bernard Avenue. The city council are about to start the construction of cement sidewalks at once. The sidewalks are to be put in on condition that the owners of the property pay two-thirds of the cost on the local improvement plan. Owing to the amount of road work which has to be done round and about Vernon, the municipal Council at that point are discussing the advisability of purchasing a steam roller. The matter is at present left in the hands of the Board of Works, but it is likely that a vote of the people will be taken with the idea of issuing debentures to pay for same. The Vernon Board of Trade mel last Friday to discuss the matter of the site for the British Columbia University, it being considered thai the university should be established in that part of the province. SALMON ARM. There has been something doing in the real estate business the past few days. Chas. H. Seaforth has sold his homestead to Mr. Holma, of Phoenix. We understand Mr. Holma intends taking possession very soon. John Pearson has also sold his fine ranche to Mr. Martin, of Kelowna, B. C. Mr. Martin has already taken possession and Mr. Pearson is moving to Notch Hill. The merchants of Salmon Arm, we understand, have decided to have no weekly half-holiday this summer, but to close their places of business at 6 o'clock the year round. GEOGRAPHICAL ODDITIES. Some These SUMMERLAND. Good Friday and Easter Sunday were days of special rejoicing among the members of the Anglican Church on account of the formal opening of their handsome new place of worship. Special services were held on both occasions which were made bright by appropriate Festal Responses and Anthems. The Sunday evening service closed with a solemn Te Deum suitable to the hour. _> ' PEACHLAND. The Marshall property has been sold by Mr. Harry Cossar to eastern capitalists for $I8,00Q—thrice the sum paid for it a year ago. The bachelor's " At Home " on Wednesday last was one of the most successful functions of the kind ever held in Peachland. One of the features being the formal switching on of the electric lights for the first time. The hall was well filled with a happy audience which thoroughly enjoyed the most excellent programme provided. Early in the evening, the chairman, Mr. Grant Lang, handed over the meeting to the municipal council. Reeve Lang briefly reviewed the public works undertaken and announced that Hon. Price Ellison would turn on the electric lights. This Mr. Ellison proceeded to do and then gave a very interesting speech for a few minutes, in course ot which, after congratulating Peachland on its progressiveness in installing electric light and domestic water systems, he intimated that the government had decided to continue the Glen road through to Princeton and also to continue lake shore road through the municipality. These announcements were received with applause. Mr. J. M. Robinson, as the one who " turned on " the first kerosene lamp, was then called on for a few remarks. He responded in his usual happy manner. It is quite evident that his stay in the east has not impaired his fluency to any extent. The Bachelors are to be congratulated on the success of their evening, may there always be bachelors in Peachland. NARAMATA. Mr. Williams of Lindsay, Ontario, has purchased the fruit farm belonging to Mr. A. G. Robertson. PENTICTON. The ten acre fruit farm belonging to Mr. J. R. Mitchell has been sold to Mr. H. S.

The following collection of geograph- j leal peculiarities about the Onited States aud places therein embodies certain unique points well worth remembering. A novel way to demonstrate the size ol the state of Texas is to spread out a map of the union and stretch a string across Texas the longest way. Then, placing one end of the measure at Chicago, one will find that the other end will extend into either the Atlantic ocean or the gulf of Mexico. The two ,largest counties in the United States are Custer county, Mont, and San Bernardino county, Ca! Each of these is a little more Aan 20,000 square miles in extent, and lie states of Massachusetts, Rhode Aland, Delaware aud New Jersey jould be put inside the boundaries of •lther of them. The smallest county in the union is Bristol county, R. 1.. which has only twenty-five square miles. About fifty miles from Durango, Jolo., there is a point where four states meet Here by stepping a few feet In either direction one can walk In four different commonwealths in as many seconds. These commonwealths are the states of Colorado and Utah and the territories of New Mexico and Arizona. " A nearly parallel case Is at Harpers Ferry, where the train stops a few; 5_lnutes to allow tbe passengers to alight and enjoy a view which permits them to look into three states, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. The highest and lowest elevations In Ills country are in California, within J00 miles of each other. The loftiest * Mount Whitney, 14,499 feet high, and the lowest is Death valley, about 450 feet below the level of the sea.

POISON TREES. fhmy Ar* Found In Only Two Placet In the World. In only two places In the world, Queensland and tbe west coast «f Africa, can there be found that most remarkable of nature productions,' tbe Erythropblocum laboucberi (or poison tree). Referring to this tree in speaking at a meeting of the Sydney Natural History society, A. Meston, formerly protector of aborigines in northern Queensland, says that wben in full foliage it is one of tbe most beautiful trees In the world. Tbe wood is elegantly grained and marked by colors and peculiar streaks which readily distinguish It from any other known timber. It is extremely hard and tough, and tbe blacks of the Cape York peninsula use it for making their woomeras, with which they throw the spear. The tree bears long rods containing beans, which, like tbe leaves, are fatal to all animal life. The stomach of a dead goat or a dead sheep may show only three or four undigested green leaves. All animals are blind before they die and remain blind if they recover. This tree killed sixteen of the Ghillagoe company's camels. It killed some of tbe horses and cattle of the Jardine brothers In their expedition to Cape York in 18G4. On one occasion it killed several thousand sheep on the gulf rivers. Occasionally an aboriginal Lucrezia Borgia disposes of a rival by mixing some crushed beans In a mashed yam or pounded cunjeboi, and the unhappy Juliet can nevermore gaze upon ber lost Romeo. Even Inhaling the smoke of tbe burning wood is said to have a disastrous effect upon ladles who, lu Byronic phrase, are among those "who love their lords;" consequently it Is never used for firewood except In ektreme cases of matrimonial infelicity.—London Standard.

Less Drink Means Less Crime. Mr. Chamberlain once said with regard to our drinking habits: " If I could destroy the desire for strong drink in the people of England, what changes should wc see ? We should see our taxes reduced by millions Stirling a year;' we should see our goals and workhouses empty; we should see more lives saved in twelve months than are consumed in a century of bitter and savage war." This was a remarkable statement, and thought at the time by many to be somewhat extreme, but since that time much convincing evidence has been given by judges, prison chaplains, workhouse masters, employment experts, and those who have to do with the uplifting of children, and all confirm the statement. Though the desire for strong dri nk has been steadily on the wane for several years, the decline in drinking during the past few months must be attributed chiefly to the action of the brewers and distillers since the introduction of the Budget. For political purposes the " poor man's beer and whiskey" were advanced in, price altogether out of proportion to the increased Budget charges. It was thought that the result would be electric ! Such a storm of indignation against the government would be raised by the poor man whose beer was attacked that the new duties would be quickly dropped. The trade played for very high stakes, and have lost. In Scotland the whiskey drinker refused to pay the increased prices charged, and satisfied his thirst with milder alcoholic beverages, whilst in London, and other parts of the provinces where the prices have been put up, the consumption has dropped enormously, and "the trade," having discovered their mistake, are quickly reverting to old prices. Whilst the Budget was still comparatively young—that is to say, within a month or six weeks-of its introduction—(says the Dundee Advertiser) reports were forthcoming of remarkable reductions in the cases of drunkenness in the larger Scottish towns. Was the increase of the whiskey duty responsible) One hesitated to make the affirmation on narrow evidence; but the evidence broadens and the doubt diminishes. What was visible in the weekly returns of the Glasgow police reports now appears in the most strikingly substantial form in the quarterly returns for Edinburgh where in the last three months cases- of drunkenness and disorderly conduct are less by 672, or one-third of the total, than they were in the same quarter last year. It looks as if .Mr. Lloyd-George had, by accident, and when merely looking for revenue, stumbled upon a method of temperance reform of remarkable efficiency, a. method which works ;■ hen so many of those deliberately designed to work failed to produce any effect. Temperance reformers may one of these days think it wise to shift their agitation on to a new line. If a half-penny more on the glass of whiskey is capable of diminishing drunkenness by a third, it would be very interesting to.learn the effect of a penny. Layritz Nursery KELOWNA.

We are likely to regard the moon aa the only thing in tbe heavens that exhibits phases such as tbe quarter, tbe half and tbe full. As n matter of fact all planets and their satellites exhibit separately • such phases, and most of them can be easily seen with a small power telescope. Thus Mars and Venus, which are comparatively close to the earth, show through tbe telescope at times a beautiful crescent at others a half planet fully as brilliant, considering the distance, as does our satellite. At times also the planets suffer eclipse, just as the earth, tbe moon and tbe 8tm, and these eclipses are foretold with as great accuracy. As to just what causes tbe phases, eay of the moon, Is easy to comprehend by a homely analogy. If one stands In a corner of a room, places a globe of aome description In tbe next corner and a light In tbe third corner the phenomenon* of the half moon is seen. The light; representing tbe sun, shines of eoorse on half the globe representing tbe moon, bat the observer In the corner sees only half of the surface toward him illuminated. If now the light be placed behind tbe observer and a little above his head a full moon will be seen, the "son," however, Bhlning on the same area of surface as before, merely allowing this time a view from the "earth" of the whole amount of -nomination. All tbe phases can be demonstrated In this manner by moving the "moon" directly outward from Ms comer.. One of tbe greatest discoveries of science is due to observation of tbe eclipses of Jupiter's moons. It was found that when the earth was In tbe part of Its orbit nearest to Jupiter these eclipses occurred sixteen minutes earlier than wben it was In the farthermost part; whereas by all rules of astronomy tbey should have occurred at tbe same minute each time. It was deduced from this tbat light was not instantaneous and consequently took sixteen minutes to traverse tbe diameter of tbe earth's orbit, a distance of about 200,000,000 miles, thus giving to light a velocity of 186,000 miles a second, which was accurately shown later by other experiments.—St Louis Republic. j WATCH SPRINGS. Not Surprising They Break Considering the Work They Do. The mainspring of a watch does not Unwind at a uniform rate, but Intermittently. It is subjected to a sudden Jerk at every tick—four times per second for my watch. This makes 345,- 000 times per day and over 120,000,000 times per year. This operating condition is analogous to others discussed In Kenfs "Mechanical Pocketbook" under the heads of "Relation of tbe Elastic Limit of Endurance Under Repeated Stresses" and "Resistance of Metals to Repeated Shocks." Among other things it says: "Another long known result of experience Is tbe fact that rupture may be caused by a succession of shocks or Impacts none of which alone would be sufficient to cause it Iron axles, tbe piston rods of steam hammers and other pieces of metal subject to continuously repeated shocks invariably break after a> certain length of service, Tbey hare' 'a life' which is limited." Wohler found in testing iron by repeated stresses (not impacts) that in one case 400,000' applications of a stress of 600 centners to the square inch caused a rupture, while a similar bar remained sound after 48,000,000 applications of a stress of 800 centners to the square Inch. One centner equals 110-2 pounds. 4The mainspring of a watch Is not only under a considerable tensile stress, but also under a bending stress wben suddenly released, then immediately stopped by the escapement mechanism. It is then probable tbat its molecular cohesive power deteriorates in a manner similar to those quoted.—Scientific American. M BYRNS, Licensed Auctioneer Sales conducted on per centage or contract.

Thursday, April 7 The Things Our Crops — Eat — Plant Food in the Soil By fertility we commonly mean the plant food in the soil that is in a proper condition for tKe plant to assimalate. A soil may be stored full of material for plant food, but if it be not in the right form so that the plant may use it to make growth, that soil would not be called a fertile soil. Our low. lying, cold, sour soils are an illustration of this. Many things are required to bring a plant from seed time to a successful harvest, but we will agree that one of the most needful of these is food, abundant food, within easy reach and in the proper form. The original rocks, of which, these learned scientific men tell us the earth was first composed, after being ground in nature's ice-mill to fine particles and then decayed and weathered into still finer ones, and transposed and mixed through the agency of rushing torrents and Noah-like deluges, were then fitted to become the frame work of the soil, just as the crude fibre in our plants acts as their frame work and although usually largely indigestable by our animals, is still indispensable, as it furnishes storage room and protection for the food particles. The chemist now tells us that there is fertility enough in the ordinary farm soil to produce good crops for a thousand years, and yet the farmer knows to a certainty that most soils can be "run out" and made unproductive with just -a few years'' injudicious cropping. Well it is like this : the fertility is there all right, but the great bulk of it is in such form that it is locked up, and all you may have this year is just what Mother Nature will hand out to you, It is like money in the bank, behind bolts and bars; it may be yours, yes, but children and reckless spendthrifts are not allowed to even handle all the money that may belong to them. Now let us take this soil apart and examine some of the essentials for plant growth which it contains. The chemist tells us that the three principal elements of plant food are nitrogen, potash and phosphorus, or phosphnric acid, as it is commonly called. He tells us that the use of each of these elements is as follows: Nitrogen is the forceful part of the growth; it takes force to push the head of the plant up into the air; it takes force to grow corn 12 feet high ; it takes force to lift the tons of water to keep the leaves alive. He tells us that nitrogen is some reltaion to the saltpetre which gives the explosive effects to gunpowder; that it is the nitric acid which, when mixed with harmless glycerine, makes the terribly explosive nitro-glycerine, which is again transformed into powerful dynamite. So, no matter wether we grow corn, or shoot game, or blow up big pine stumps, nitrogen is the force that does it. He tells us that potash combines with and soften or disolves the sand grains and other minerals, so that the plant can use them to stiffen its stalks or stem so it will stand. You know that grass and grain which grows on very rich ground often falls over and lodges ; plenty of nitrogen there to boost it, but not enough backbone to hold it up, don't you see ? And the phosphorus he tells us, is what is needed in the top, in the grain in plants, in the brains of men. We tip our matches with it to get the quick, brigh , results; 1 should say thdt a man without phosphoros in his brain would be like a head of wheat without the kernels, a cob without corn. Now as we take out some of this plant food in every crop we grow, we can soon " see our finish " so to speak, unless the supply in the soil is constantly renewed, and this can be done in three ways: 1. By buying fertility from those who have it to sell in the form of commercial fertilizer. This may sound all right, but it is two expensive for ordinary farm crops, as it costs so much money that it does not leave profit enough to live on. 2. Mother Nature is constantly unlocking fertility, but that is to slow altogether f-r us fellows; it means summer fallowing and waiting and so it is not practicable with high-priced land and expensive families. 3. By returning to the soil a goodly share of what grew there and holding it there by an intelligent method of cultivation that will also develop and quicken chemical and microbic action in the soil, and this is the key to Nature's treasure house. Each of these elements — nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid—has a market price at which they are bought and sold I on the open market, and as farmers of this country spend $50,000,000 per year for commercial fertilizer simply to get the nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid which they contain, we can easily get at the value of each on the market, and we find that nitrogen is worth not less than 12 cents, potash 4_ cents and phosphoric acid 4J cents per pound. Now, at these prices, a ton of clover hay is worth $7.23 in fertilizing elements alone, and yet there is lots of clover hay sold for less than $5 per ton on the farm. The reason for this is because the farmer didn't have to earn or buy the fertilizer that went into that hay; if he had he would know what it was worth; his rich mother Nature saved that fertility and left it to him and ordinarily he doesn't think of the cost of that fertility any .more than the young dude in the city does of the dollars which his daddy earned and left to him. Does the dude who never earned an honest dollar in his life know anything about the market value of dollars? Doesn't he squander them just as if they weren't worth' twenty-five cents apiece. He don't know how many backaches or sweat drops each of these dollars cost. No, no ! He didn't earn them, and the Farmer who sell his fertility ot less than the going market price is, it seems to me in pretty much the same position. Now in farming 1 believe that the best method is to raise as much as we can and buy no more than we have to, and this rule will apply to fertility as well as to meat, or grain, or fruit. A proper rotation of crops, combined with a proper making and application of manure, will enable the farmer to gain fertility and reap the reward of larger crops each year than were possible before. Of two farmers with the same elements of fertility in their soils, one of them will, by intelligent cultivation, form such a combination with the forces of nature as to succeed in the highest degree, while the other will fail to even a <lccent living under the same outward conditions. The farmer must understand nature's rules and follow them if he would enjoy the highest success. The Churches THE ROYAL CHEF The sale of seats is open for " The Royal Chef," the big musical comedy success which come to the Kelowna Opera House Wednesday April 13th. Interest in this event has steadily increased since the announcement was first made that the famous show was coming, and preparations have been made to handle the rush which is expected at the box office. It is known that this ciiy is to have the original big company which has been identified with the remarkable success of the piece, and that the vast production which was gotten up for the New York and Chicago run will be brought here intact. This is said to be unusually massive and extremely beautiful, exceeding anything of a similiar kind which has been offered in this country. There is no doubt whatever of the extraordinary popularity of " The Royal Chef " inasmuch as it is known to have drawn enormous audiences all over the country during the past three seasons. The is always conspic- ious merit in a performance which makes such a record and this musical show may safely be anticipated as an entertainment of the most wholesome, enjoyable and meritorious character.

All wholesale fruit and vegetable dealers of Winnipeg have signed a petition to the government to have the d^ty removed from certain fruits and green foods at certain sersons of the year. For some time this subject has been agitated in Winnipeg as a result of the excessive cost of vegetables at those seasons when everything of this character is imported from United States. The dealers have always held that the duty forced them to keep the prices of these foodsup abnormally. The idea is to protect domestic fruits and vegetables in season and have the duty taken off when the imported products do not compete with domestic products. Scheme of Child Emigration. Kingsley Fairbridge, a Rhodes scholar, is.endeavoring to inaugurate a scheme for emigrating poor-law children, between the ages of si_ and ten years' and giving them an education in agricultual schools. The scheme has been warmly taken up by the Colonial Club at Oxford and the support of the agents-general in London has been obtained. Sir Edward Grey has offered 50,000 acres in Newfoundland. Tried to Wreck Train. The provincial police are working on the attempted wreaking of the passenger train No. 96 on Wednesday morning March 23, that struck a pile of ties placed on the track. The place chosen for the dastardly job was three miles east of Kamloops. Going cast it was impossible to see the obstruction until close upon it and Engineer Lyons when he saw it had no time to dp anything to avert it. Once through however he made all haste to get away, fearing an attempted hold-up. When he crossed No. 97 he handed Willis Armstrong, engineer, a note informing him of what had happened, and the latter, when he came to the spot stopped his train and removed six ties from the track. The opinion held by the railway- men is that the intention of whoever placed the ties on the track was to derail the train and then rob it. Secret of Preseroing., Much interest is being manifested in ,the claims of William H. Swett, of Port'and, Ore., who says he has discovered the secret of preserving flesh, fish, and cereals, used, by the ancient Egyptians. As proof of his assertions, Swett exhibited a number of rosea which had been allowed to wither, for a year. By the simple process of moistening the p .tals the flowers resumed their original freshness and color, and the withered buds burst into bloom. Corn jm the cob, dried a year ago, was restored by merely, being placed in water overnight, so that it not only looked but tasted fresh. To Fight Livestock Combine. The beef commission appointed by the Manitoba government to study the livestock situation and devise a plan to defeat the combine and establish a publicly owned abattoir in Winnipeg, have been holding sessions lately. They have been taking evidence as to the existence of a combine to cotrol the live stock trade of the west.' Farmers are claiming that the combine is driving them out of the live stock breeding, and that they can ship to the Chicago and Toronto markets more profitably than they can to Winnipeg because of the operation of the combine. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets assist nature in driving all impurities out of the system, insuring a free and regular condition and restoring the organs of the body tar health and strength. Sold by all druggists, Banff Springs and Mt. Etna. On the day of the eruption of Mt. Etna, and before the news had reached Banff, it was observed that the springs at the Cave and Basin were spouting with unusual activity, the water boiling up from four to six inches above the surface of the pool. ' It would be interesting if observations were taken of these periods of unusual activity at the springs to see if they coincide with seismic disturbances in other parts of the world. Netcs-Adoertiser Changes Hands. Announcement was made last Friday that the News-Advertiser, of Vancouver, has been sold to J. S. H. Matson, proprietor of the Victoria Colonist, for $200,000. The paper was founded in the early days of the city as a combination of the News and Advertiser. Hon. F. L. Carter Cotton, with whom was at first associated Mr. R. W. Gordon, has been the principal proprietor during nearly all the years of the paper's existence. The general opinion of people who have knowledge of the deal is that the sale heralds the retirement of Mr. Cotton from the field of active politics. Object to Neto Immigration Rule. The application of the $25 rule for emigrants seeking entrance to Canada is the subject of complaint by the steamship companies, which have asked the Canadian government to suspend it until all the emigrants booked have reached the Dominion. It is estimated the number affected by this new rule will be between three and four hundred. In a Hopeless Mess.' The by-laws' of the city of Revelstoke are in very bad shape. They consist, says the Mail-Herald, of a mass of odds and ends compiled over a period of about twelve years and pigeon-holed as old scrap. Recent investigation shows these by-laws have been a dead letter. The taxes provided under them haye not been collected, and it is doubtful whether anyone knows what by-laws or taxes are in force and what are not. For the past six years various councils have proposed to have the city by-laws revised and consolidated, and the present council would do good work for the cjty if it undertook the task which has been shelved by one council after another till the by-laws are now in a hopeless mess. Mooing Westward. Nineteen passenger coaches, carrying rather more that 900 passengers, left Toronto last week for the west on three C.P.R. trains, two of them specials. Possibly one third of the passengers were women and children, the balance consisting almost entirely of young men who are leaving Ontario farms in search of farms in the west About thirty-five carloads of household effects and stock followed the settlers. The total of seetlers from Ontario points leaving Toronto on C.P.R. train for the west last month is estimated at slightly below the 5000 mark. Cheaper Cable Rates. An important measure was put through the House at Ottawa last Thursday giving the railway commision control of the rates and facilities of cable companies. The bill also provides a schedule of rates for the transmission of messages. MONKEYS IN UATTLE. They Fight Under Leaders and Roll Stones on Enemies. Aesop's ape, it will be remembered, wept on passing tbrongh a human graveyard, overcome with sorrow for Its dead ancestors, and that all monkeys pre willing enough to be mora like us than tbey are they show by their mimicry. An old authority tells that the easiest way to capture apes' Is for the hunter tb pretend to shave himself, then to wash his face, fill the basin with a sort of birdlime and leave it for the apes to blind themselves. If the Chinese story is to be believed the Imitative craze Is even more fatal Id another way, for if you shoot one monkey of a band witb a poisoned arrow its neighbor, jealous of so unusual a decoration, will snatch the arrow from It and stab Itself, only to have it torn away by a third, until in succession the whole troop has committed suicide. In their wild life baboons as well as many varieties of the moukey tribe undoubtedly submit to tbe authority of recognized leaders., There is co-operation between them to the extent that when fighting in company one will go to the help of m not her which is hard pressed. In rocky grouuu they roll down stones upon their enemies, and wben making a raid, as on an orchard which they believe to be guarded, the attack is conducted on an organized plan, sentries being posted and scouts thrown out, which gradually feel their way forward to make sure that the coast Is clear, while the main body remains in concealment behind until told that the road Is open. From the fact that the sentries stay posted throughout the raid, getting for themselves no share of the plunder, It has been assumed that there must be some sort of division of the proceeds afterward.

After we are dead It probably will not concern us whether we died at twenty or fifty or ninety, but just now most of us are Intensely interested In the matter, and, being average persons in sound bealtb, we can figure out with certainly just what our chances are of reaching any particular age, says Harper's Weekly. If we are just 20 years of age, our chances ot living to or beyond 30 are nearly 12 to 1; of living to be 40, 5% to 1; to be 50, 3 to 1; to be 60, 12-3 to 1., Of living to be 70 we have less than 1 chance In 2%; to be SO, less than l chance In 5%, and to be 00, less than l chance In 100. If we have reached 30,' our chances to reach 40 are nearly 11 to 1; to be 50, nearly 4% to 1; to be 60, 2% to 1; to be 70, 4% chances In 10; to be 80, 1 chance in 5%; to be 90, 1 chance In 100. The average man of 40 has 8% chances to 1 of reaching bis fiftieth birthday, 2% chances to 1 of attaining CO, only 6 chances out of 10 of reaching 70, 1 chance in 5% of reaching 80, and 1 chance In 100 of becoming 90. Having been lucky In all the drawings up to fifty years, the average man has 4% chances to 1 of becoming 60; to become 70 tbe chances are 1%, to 1 in bis favor; to become 80 he has but 1 chance In 5 and to become 90 1 chance In 100. If already^ 60 tbe average citizen bas 2 chances to 1 of becoming 70, 1 chance In 4 of becoming 80 and 1 chance In 66 ot reaching 90. Tbe man of 70 bas 3 chances In 8 of becoming 80 and 1 In 60 of becoming 90. If one has weathered tbe storm until his eightieth birthday he bas 1 chance In 17 of reaching his ninetieth mile- post. - — It will be observed tbat as we get older our chances of reaching 90 Increase greatly. »■»» Followed Instructions.

On board was one of those impromptu comedy crowds that, hadn't any idea it was funny. One woman suddenly descended on her husband with the thrilling inquiry: "Where's that umbrell' of mine?" "I dunno," growled the husband. "Well, you had it last." "Didn't neither." "You did, too, and you've got to git busy findiu' it. 1 bet it's up forrerd there where we was a-settln' before we come back hyer." More growls from the husband, who was sleepy. "You got t' help me hunt it, anyway." She took him and went forward, peering under Ihc seats. All up and down the aisle they went, searching vainly. The more uncomfortable the stopping made her the madder and worse excited the woman got and the worse her husband growled. Finally she began poking under the scats to sec if she could touch the umbrella iu some rcccs3 beyond her vision. A girl with a blue feather in her hat who had been timidly watching tho performance aud showing a blushing tendency to interrupt could contain herself no longer. "What's that you're poking under tho seats with? Isn't that the lost umbrella?" she asked. The woman straightened up, gave one look at the tightly grasped Instrument and snapped out, "Yes, it is!" She said it just as if it had all been the fault of the girl with the blue feather in her hat—Chicago News., Town and Country News. A GREAT ORATOR. lm- Dr. Mathison, Dentist, Rowcliffe Block.

The appeal that a fine flow of oratory will make to men aud women was amusingly exemplified one night at a meeting in West Philadelphia, says a Philadelphia paper. A noted speaker was appealing to a'gathering to give fuuds toward the work of cleaning the slums, making life healthy and happy for the poor and other Utopian schemes of men and women whose hearts throb with longing to help their kind. For half an hour he drew pictures of the conditions; then with expressive gestures and his voice throbbing with enthusiasm he poured out a flow of rhetoric. "Our duty, our flag, our country," dotted the speech with italics. The audience shouted and cheered, and tbe women wept, while a storm of applause swept the room when the speech was over. "That's going some, eh?" said one man to another in the cloakroom later. "Fine sentiments, real feeling—great, great!" "I'm so deaf," spoke up another, with disappointment in his voice, "tbat I couldn't hear. What did he say?' "Say—say!" stammered the others, looking Into each other's faces. "Why —be—he—er—hanged if I know!" And to this day they don't know. It waa only the "holler" that got them, not the words. This Is, however, what makes the orator. A Strange Method of Salutation. Of all the strange modes of salutation the most extraordinary Is the "dance of ceremony" current In the west African kingdom of Dahomey. Whenever any Dahoman chief or official of rank comes to pay you a visit he always opens, the Interview by dancing around you witb variouB queer contortions (extremely Buggestlve of his having Just upset a kettle of boiling water over his knees), wblch you are bound to imitate as closely as possible. It is even reported tbat one of the native ministers of tbe terrible King Gezu owed bis rapid rise at the Dahoman court wholly to bis superior skill in cutting these strange capers and that be thus literally as well as The C.

It is with regret we record the death of Mr. J. West, who has been working until recntly on the Sunset Ranch. He was suddenly taken ill and had to be brought to the hospital last week, with the result that he died there on Friday last The funeral was on Saturday, a number of friends following his remains to their last resting place in the Kelowna cemetary. The cause of death was an acute kidney trouble. Messrs. James Bros, have taken the old Hinman store in Bernard avenue. Messrs. Hewetson & Mante have taken the store, until lately occupied by Mr. J.

It has been definitely decided to produce the " Mikado" here on April 20th and 21 st, and the play will be taken up to Vernon on April 28th. The piece is so well known that it does not require any introduction to the public, and the work the Amateur Dramatic Society have put into it is bound to make it a succesr. The seating plan can be seen at Willits' Drug store on April 16th, and it is to be hoped that the public will give ihe play the support it deserves. A number of friends met on the wharf last Monday to say good bye to Mr. Harry Eden and Mr. Harry Barnes, both of whom were about to make their departure for the coast. Mr. Eden has accepted a position in one of the leading hotels in Vancouver, while Mr. Barnes has gone up to write on his examination for an engineer's certificate. He expects to be in a position at the coast in a short time after the result of the examination is made known. Mr. Hayman has taken over the engineering of the "Clovelly," An auction sale was /held in Davy's livery barn on Saturday last several horses and stock changing hands at bargain prices. The members of the Volunteer Fire Brigade wish to thank the numerous ladies around town who supplied the various delicacies that went to fill the tables at their recent ball, and also those of the young ladies who so ably decorated the tables, and who must have worked hard to get everything in shape for the excellent supper that was served later in the evening. Work on the new. Presbyterian church is forging ahead in grand style, and before long it is likely that the opening of the church will be announced. The edifice occupies a commanding position, and is already one of the land marks of the district. Mr. Levitt nearly had his shack, next to the Baptist Church, burned down last week. During his absence some wag or wags were instrumental in stuffing a brand new shirt of Mr. Levitt's into his stove pipe, and consequently when he lighted his fire, the smoke refused to go up out of the chimney. After a time, however, the flames got too much, and the shirt caught on fire, causing the pipe to send out a volume of flames, which caught the roof of the building. Willing hands were ready to help put out the flames, otherwise the whole building would have been destroyed. The false orders that were delivered by the store keepers on April 1 st last, through some person ordering goods through the 'phone for other people, reached extraordinary dimensions. One person at least got mad, after he had delivered to the wrong house one sack of flour and one sack of potatoes. When he found out that the order was only a bogus one, there was more " cussing." i April fool I cried a voice through the telephone —" 1 ? I ? ! ? I," cried a voice from the store. The scenery for the " Mikado " is being painted by Mr. G. McKie, who has just arrived from the Old Country.
