Price Ellison Offers Free Site for University In connection with the bid which will be made by the enterprising citizens of the Okanagan for the establishment of the provincial university in that district, Hon. Price Ellison, provincial minister of lands and representative of the constituency of Okanagan in the legislature, has generously offered to present a free site of one hundred acres, in every way suitable, should the university site selection commission regard with favour the proposals for the location of the university in the interior riding. The offered site may be selected either the southeast or immediately adjoining the city limits of Vernon on the north. No conditions whatever are attached to the volunteered gift, although Hon. Mr. Ellison anticipates that other interested landowners may add to the donation. If another location in the district should be adjudged more suitable by the commissioners, the lands minister is willing to exchange his land with the owners bf the area preferred, so that the site may still be without cost to the government. Rutland News. (From our own correspondent.) A large gang of men have been working on the Rutland ditch down at the creek. The wooden pipe has been hauled from town and placed near the creek. As soon as the condition of the stream will allow the pipe will be laid in position under the bed of the creek.

Westbank Notes From our own correspondent Editor Orchard City Record. Dear Sir:— As the City Fathers took the flume up last summer to put down a sidewalk at the new school arid did not put it back again, .who is responsible if we lose our orchards, fruit and vegetables for the want of water, water! mountain water, to sprinkle the orchards every one, and make the apples and pears grow as big as a drum ? A RATEPAYER. We are having fine weather how, but to enjoy a drive we must also have good roads, so we are patiently waiting for something to be done. Mr. Allan Davidson left last week for the prairies, where he intends making his future home. School reopened again on Monday, after having been closed for a fornight owing to the illness of the teacher. Mr.,* G. Benmore was a visitor to this district last Tuesday. Mr. L. Featherstonehaugh is getting to be quite a "bronco scratcher," as he was to be seen at the beginning of the week mounted on a fiery steed and performing before quite a- number of on lookers. . new boarding house is now, and is reported to The opened be doing quite a little business. Work is reported to be progressing rapidly on the Bear Creek road—wonder if it's our turn next 1 Mr. D. W. Sutherland was a visitor to Penticton on Wednesday. Mr. W. A. Pitcairn returned Wednesday from a trip to the Old Country. Fruit growers and others interested in the industry met in convention last week at Kamloops. Every part of the province, was well represented, and every district had some resolution to offer. The morning session, presided over by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Mr. W. E. Scott, was devoted mainly to the discussion of various matters-at difference between the fruit growers and the transportation companies which carry the produce of the interior orchards down to the prairies of the Northwest. • . Mr. Cameron, of Hammond, and the manager of the Dominion Express Company did most of the talking. The former was well supported by several of the lower country fruit men and Mr. Helme had the very diplomatic assistance of General Traffic Manager'Lanigan of the C. P. R. The resolutions discussed all had to do with express rates. After adjournment i the first resolution put was one expressing sympathy with the family of the late Hon. R. G. Tatlow. This was carried with due ceremony by a standing vote. Then came a long discussion on the service given by the railroads and the express companies. £ G. Earl, Traffic Manager Lanigan, and the chairman took the most prominent part in this discussion, and Mr. Lanigan held that the Canadian Pacific and the Dominion Express company had always considered the fruitgrowers of the province, and that he himself had given a great deal of time to this work.'" ' Many other resolutions which had been, sent in were cancelled for want of a mover, and finally a general one expressing confidence in the good will of both railway and express companies was passed with enthusiasm. A number of the representatives of northwest wholesale firms then addressed the convention. On the following day the fruitgrowers met again, and a large amount of new business was effectively disposed of before an adjournment was reached. The most important matter dealt with was the reorganization of the British Columbia Fruitgrowers' association. The new constitution as presented by Mr. Scott was threshed out clause by clause and several suggested .changes were adopted. It provides for much closer relations between the association and the department of agriculture and should prove of immense advantage to the industry in the province. In the afternoon the new officers were elected, directors being appointed for the various districts and these in turn electing from their number the executive heads. R. M. Palmer of Kamloops was chosen president, C. J. Metcalfe of Hammond, vice-president, and W. R. Winslow of the department of agriculture, secretary, R. H. Agur of Summerland and W. C. Rawley Richardo of the Coldstream ranch, together with the above and the minister of agriculture and his deputy will compose the executive. Resolutions were adopted endorsing the national apple show, Maxwell Smith outlining the work already done and explaining the immense advantage which would be derived from it. Price lists, market conditions and other matters of moment to orchardists were given close attention and were discussed freely. Victoria was chosen as the next place of meeting and the association will meet at the capital in January. After the close of the proceedings the delegates as the guests of Mayor Robinson were driven to interesting points about the district. V. V. & E. Line Going Ahead A good start on construction work on the V. V. & E., has been made on the eighteen-mile section of railway from Princeton west to Otter Flat, near the eastern slope of the Hope mountains. The sections east and west of the mountains will be built by J. W. Stewart & Co. West of Princeton the sub-contracts have been awarded to James Welth, J. McPhee, Fred Wilson and Madden & Hankison. No less than nine construction camps have been established. J. Wilson is driving a 1050ft. tunnel near Princeton and the equipment comprising two donkey engines and a steam shovel. The eighteen-mile section, it is expected, will be completed before next Christmas. The work for most of the distance is quite heavy. The snow in the vicinity of Princeton has disappeared and summer weather prevails. A V. V. & E. survey party in charge of Mr. C. F. Russell is now engaged in locating a line for a railway between Penticton, at the foot of Okanagan Lake to Oroville, Wash., a point on the V. V. & E. railway on the international boundary line. It is not generally known that the Great Northern is now engaged in building a line from Oroville to Wenatchee, the centre of the fruit-growing district on the Columbia river and a station on the main line of the Hill road. The route is down the fertile Okanagan valley. The contract for building the road from Oroville south to Brewster, where the Okanagan river enters the Columbia, ha* been awarded to Messrs. Guthrie & Co.. of St. Paul. Fifteen miles of roadbed south from Oroville have been graded already. The distance' between Oroville and Brewster is about 70 miles. Once Wenatchee is linked up with the V. V. & E. system east of the Hope mountains, the Great Northern system will enjoy an alternative route between Vancouver and eastern points. Death of Bishop of Kootenay The Rt. Rev. John Dart, Bishop of Westminster and Kootenay, died last Friday afternoon. He was stricken with paralysis about two veeks ago, and very little hope has been entertained of his recovery. Bishop Dart was 74 years of age and came over to British Columbia in 1895, having been consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury as Bishop of Westminster. Five years later the see of Kootenay was also brought under his jurisdiction. He was a profound scholar, though as a preacher, clear and simple in style, and greatly respected by all the clergh of the see. The Bishop was to have visited Kelowna in May for the confirmation services at St'. Michael's church, but owing to his illness the arrangement had to be cancelled. Funeral of the Late Capt. Tatlow Explosion and Fire on British Steamer A terrific explosion occurred on the British steamer Cairnrona, off Dungeness, which wrecked the women's quarters, killing one child and injuring a number of women and children. The steamer caught fire, and a panic ensued in which men fought for possession of boats and had to be beaten back by the crew to allow the women tb taken first. A large number of passengers were landed many of them in an exhausted condition. In all twenty persons were ser- ioiy>)g>T_d not leas thai- fif^ slightly injured by the explosion and in the panic that followed it. The Epworth League will hold the semi-annual election of officers next Monday evening. Next Sunday evening Rev. S. J. Thompson will discuss the " Punishment of sin." or" What is Hell ? " is^~*| After the Fire . Under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid of the Knox church, Mr. Jas. Harvey, Sr., will on Wednesday next, April 27th, at 8 o'clock, give an account of his recent trip to Honolulu. A musical programme will also be given during the I evening. Mr. Elliott's new cement building, whioh is now being pushed forward with all speed to take the place of the one destroyed by fire, bids fair to become one. of the features of mam street. Already two large storeys have been erected, and a third may possibly be added. This would give a greatly increased floor space over the old buildings, besides being a vastly more imposing and convenient structure. With characteristic energy, Mr. Elliott is losing no time in making arrangements to renew his stock. A carload of wagons and various farm implements has arrived and more are on the way. The ill-fated automobiles, which excited general admiration for so brief a period, are to be replaced by a fresh consignment, and a car of these handsome vehicles is now on its way here. A car of buggies, too, is expected shortly, and altogether when the new building is completed, a large new stock will be ready to fill it. - wait- is Dalgleish & Glenn are not ing until their new building ready, but are getting to business; right away. A car load of first rate buggies has just arrived, and a temporary canvas show room is being erected for their reception. Call and see them.

Mr. Stiff is also making plans for several residents in the neighborhood, whose idea it is to make Naramata an attractive Bummer resort. Mr. G. L. Hutchings, of East Orange, New Jersey, paid his first visit to the Okanagan Valley last week. He was the guest oi Mr. S. Goodacre, of Wilson's Landing. Mr. Hutchings expressed surprise at the activity to be noticed on all sides, especially in tree planting, and in the car-laden boats met with on the lake. A general meeting of thepublic, for the purpose of organizing the Victoria Day sports, was called for yesterday afternoon, but the public did not turn up, only half _i dozen of the original promoters being present. Mr. Dumoulin who was the proposer of the sports this year decided that ! another meeting should be called for Friday (tomorrow) in the Rowcliffe Hall at 8 o'clock. This hour was likely to be a better one for the trades people, and that a better attendance both from town, and from the country would be present. The promoters have asked that a full representative attendance will be present in the hall tomorrow. The remains of the late Captain Robert Garnett Tatlow, for six years minister of finance and agaiculture in the McBride government, were, interred last Wednesday at Vancouver. , The government, Vancouver, Victoria, New Westminster, and other cities, the bench and bar, the commercial and industrial life of the province, the militia, and all the varied interests in which the deceased had for so many 3rears taken such a leading part, were represented in one of die largest and most impressive funerals in the city's history. The cause of death was concussion of the brain, sustained in a trap accident the previous Friday. So far as is known, no one witnessed the accident itself, but the physician's examination showed that Mr. Tatlow had been thrown with terrific force Jto the cement sidewalk, alighting on hia head. One of the physicians stated that ' only .the fact that he was an ex-' ceptionally strong rugged man prevented instant death. There were , no • marks visible save : a slight - bruise on the cheek and a fracture of the base of the skull, -but the ' brain had been lacerated, and ' there never was any hope of h recovery. The' injured gentleman was removed to the hospital as quickly as possible after the accident Dr. O ML;Jones examined him there upon his arrival; but a very brief investigation was sufficient to convince the physician that there was absoli*fe_y^;Bi9 yyJtel&yi ^Gsfebii^ Tatlow never moved after the accident. Except for an occasional sharp breath he gave no sign of life, and when the transition took place it was peaceful and unmarked. Captain Tatlow was in his'55th year, and was a man of fine physique, in the prime of life. He had always been fond of out-of- doors life and activity, and he had always enjoyed unusually good health. He leaves a wife, the daughter of Mr. H. J. Cambie, and five children, Mrs. Fitzalan Cornwall, of Ashcroft; Jack of the University school, Victoria; Kenneth and Helen and a baby not yet a year old, all at home. Of his immediate family Captain Tatlow leaves both parents, who reside at Monkstov/n, near Dublin, Ireland, and two brothers and a sister also living in Ireland. Although expressions of deep esteem and sincere regret for the public man so suddenly removed from the sphere of his useful activities were heard everywhere _.&ts*_j- CUl classed" _vt _.:. vra v_VM.«ior~ coupled with manifestations of poignant sorrow over the tragedy which has overwhelmed his family, the high place which the late Captain Tatlow filled in the good opinion of his fellow citizens of British Columbia was not unnaturally especially indicated throughout the various departments of the civil service, one and all of the Provincial officials who had been brought in touch with the deceased during his ministerial career voicing an obvious personal shock and sincereat personal sympathy for the family so heavily bereaved, " I am expressibly grieved to learn of Captain Tatlow's death," said Lieutenant - Governor' T. W, Peterson yesterday. "There waa > no citizen of the province whom I held in higher esteem. His ability, w his integrity, his public spirit and '' his capacity for work make his 7 loss a severe one to the province - I count it an honor to have known .'* him.

Dear Sir,— It is with the greatest reluctance that 1 have to reply to a report that I see in your valuable paper under the heading of report of council meetings. 1 see that Mr. Elliott claims, from reports, that the night Operator is in the habit of muffling the night bell. Now it is the first intimation I evei had of like taking place, and if Mr. Elliott had known of it being done it was his place to report to me. I acknowledge that the operator got rattled on the night of the fire and put in the wrong plugs, which any of us might have done' But when he says that an operator maliciously shuts off the service, it is a more serious charge to bring against him. ■*- Now in the first place, it is impossible for the operator to get near the bell, as it is under lock and key. All the operator could do would be to shut off some certain phone, which would not then ring when anyone wished to call central. This has been done with my consent where a drunken man was annoying the operator, and.has only happened three times to my knowledge since the Central was established. I might say that if you are to believe all the reports you hear in a place like this you are likely to soon be a fit subject for the Westminster Asylum. 1 fully agree with Mr. Elliott when he says we want a night watchman, and then we might be in a better position to know who set his building on fire. Sorry to have to trespass on your valuable space, I am, Yours truly H. H. MILLIE Do You Know THAT Westbank real estate investments are the best in the Okanagan in quality of soil, location, prices, etc., and that they will triple in value in one year ? Have you stopped to consider? If not, just remember that Westbank will be the largest, most industrious, and influential place in the valley. Now ia your opportunity. Most excellent bargains. The lots are cleared, cultivated, fenced, and have young orchards on them; well irrigated, and have good domesti water. Prices, $175 to $200 per acre. Other most valuable land bargains $25 per acre up. W. Curtis Hitchner GLENCOE Westbank - British Columbia ENDERBY. A real estate deal of very great importance to Enderby and district was closed last week, involving the Wiley ranche, or the old Fortune Meadow land. The price named in the transaction is $45,000. Mr. Gracie, agent and manager for Mr. Wiley, and Mr. Little, who has conducted this end of the negotiations, is going to Kelowna Wednesday to complete the deal. Mr. F. R. E. DeHart is the buyer. It is understood that this is not the end of Mr. DeHart's purchases in the neighborhood of the Fortune Meadow lar.ds. He and his associates contemplate investingheavily in land in this neighborhood, with the object of extensive apple growing, and the cutting up of this large tract into small fruit farms. Negotiations have been under way for some time for this place and also a portion of the F. Hassard farm. All of this section has water piped on the ground for irrigation and domestic purposes, and, lying so close to Enderby, it would be an easy matter to get the electric light service and telephone into every home parcelled off. A serious fire was narrowly averted at the King Edward hotel last Wednesday. A defective flue caused the roof to take fire. It was discovered just in the nick of time, and by the aid of the handy roof ladders, an axe and a few buckets of water the whole thing was put out in a few minutes. NARAMATA. The Athletic Club is getting busy on their plans for the coming season's sport. At a recent meeting a committee consisting of Messrs. J. M. Robinson, J. S; Gillespie and W. Nuttall was named to have general charge of the programme for the season's regattas, of which latter there will be three held as in the past. The work of building the hotel is in progress. The contractor, Mr. Goodman, from Rosedale, Ont., with his wife and family, has arrived in town and is locating for the present in the Palmer cottage.

It is expected that the local telephone service vill shortly be improved by the installation of a lock-out system. It will meet the difficulty experienced on party lines In the circulars sent out by the manager to subscribers, the follow- advantages are noted : (a) When the line is in use, every other subscriber is " locked" off the line. No other person can ring, speak or listen while the line is in use. (b) No other subscriber's ring is heard on the instruments, thus doing away with the code signals. Every phone will have a single ring. Owing to the heavy expense attendaht on the installation of the system, subscribers are being asked to pay an additional fifty cents per month. The One Young Mark Twain Sprung Upon the Scientists. Mark Twain's father was an ornithologist He bad several friends who were also enthusiasts on the subject of birds. Whenever any one of them discovered a rara avis it was the custom to have a consultation. Mark had been a witness of several of these bird inquests and had noted tbe delight the old men took iu discussing a new fouud specimen. One day it occurred to him to provide the Hannibal ornithologists with a real circus in the form of a bird. He killed a crow and also a baruyard rooster. Plucking ont the tail feathers of both the crow and the rooster, he substituted the rooster's vail feathers for those of the crow, producing a unique effect When he had the specimen nicely prepared he went to bis father and, handing it to bim, said: "Here, father, is a very curious bird I shot I thought you would be interested in it." ** Tbe old gentleman gazed upon the specimen witb astonishment That cvpniug the ornithologists of Hannibal were assembled In Mr. Clemens' parlor. The rare specimen was put before thorn. The discussion was long and learued. Tbe opinions expressed were various. One thought the bird was an offshoot of tbe bird of paradise family, others bad equally ridiculous notions as to Its ancestry. Bat there was one who refused to be swerved by the peculiarity of the bird's tail from the judgment that it was of the crow family. "Why. just look here." be said, lifting the bird by its tall feathers. He got uo further. Tbe feathers came out. There was a quick closing of a door. Mr. Clemens started to leave the room.

Parmalee, physician and surgeon twelve years in Toledo, says: "The majority of saloon-keepers die from dropsy, arising from kidney and liver diseases, .induced by beer drinking. My experience has been that saloon keepers and men working around breweries are very liable to the diseases. When one of those apparently stalwart beery fellows is attacked by a disorder that would not be regarded as at all dangerous in a person of ordinary constitution, or even a delicate, weakly child or women, he is liable to drop off like an over ripe apple from the tree. You are never sure of him a minute. He may not be dangerously sick today and tomorrow be in his shroud. Most physicians, like myself, dread being called upon to take charge of a sick man who is an habitual beer drinker. The form of Bright's disease known as swollen or large white kidney is much more frequent among beer drinkers than any other class of people." Dr. S. S. Lungren: " The brain and its membranes suffer severely-, and after irritation and inflammation comes dullness and stupidity. There is no question in my mind that many brain diseases and cases of insanity are caused by excessive beer drinking. Dr. C. A. Kirkley: "Under its influence the mental powers are more inactive than the physical, There is hardly a single cause that operates mores powerfully in the production of insanity; and not only that, but it excites the action of. other causes that may be present." Dr. W. T. Ridenour: "I have no doubt the rapid spread of Bright's disease is largely due to beer drinking. I have always believed that Bayard Taylor fell o victim to the German beer that he praised so highly. He died of Bright's disease at fifty, when he should have lived, with his constitution, to a ripe old age. He went as other drinkers are going all the time and everywhere." Dr. C. A. Kirkley : " I believe that forty- nine out of fifty cases of chronic Bright's disease are directly produced by it. 1 have never met with a case in which the patient has not been intemperatejo a greater or to a greater or less degree. The proportion may be too high, but that is certainly my experience. Mr. Christain a celebrated author, states that three-fourths to four-fifth's of the cases met with in Edinburgh were in habitual drunkards.*' Dn W. T. Ridenour: " Beer drinking produces rhumatism by producing chronic congestion and ultimately degeneration of the liver, thus interfering with' its function by which the food is elaborated and fitted into the sustenance of the body." Dr. S. H. Burgen: "All beer drinkers have rhumatism, more or less, and no one can recover from it as long as he drinks beer. Notice how a beer drinker walks about stiff on his heels, without any of the elasticity and spring from the toes and balls of the foot that a healthy man should have. That is because the beer increases the li thia deposits about the smaller joints." Dr. S. H. Burgen: " The first effect on the liver is to congest and enlarge it. Then follows a low grade inflammation and subsequent contraction of' the capsules, producing ' hob-nailed' or drunkard's liver, the surface covered with little lumps that look like nails on the'soles of shoes. This developes dropsy. The congestion of the liver clogs up all the springs'of the body, and makes all sorts of exertion as difficult and labored as it would be to run a clock, the wheels of which were covered with dirt and gum. . The president of the Connicticut Mutual Life Insurance Company—one of the oldest in the country—has for years been investigating the relation of beer and longevity ; or otherwise, whether beer drinkers are desirable risks for a life insurance company. He declared, as the result of a series of observations carried on among a selected group of persons'who were habitual drinkers of beer, that although for two or three years there was nothing remarkable, yet presently death began to strike, and then the mortality became astounding and uniform in its manifestations. There was no mistaking it; the history was almost invariable; robust, apparent health, full muscles, a fair outside, increasing weight; florid faces; then a touch of cold or a sniff of malaria, and instantly some acute disease, with almost invariable typhoid systoms, was in violent action, and ten days or less ended it. It was as if the system had been kept fair on the outside, while within it was eaten to a shell, and at the first touch of disease there was. utter collapse, of every fibre was poisoned and weak. And in its main .features, varying in degree, has been his observation in beer drinking everywhere. It is peculiarly deceptive at first; it is thoroughly destructive at last.—The Pioneer, Must Some Day Give Way New Metal, Aluminum. Within the last 200 years about 50 .metals have' been discovered. Most of them, it is true, have been looked upon by the world as curiosities, and they have been relegated to the chemical museums and shown in tiny little vials as samples of the wonderful achievements of ? modern scientific research. Occasionally they would be referred to by some writer with a vivid imagination, who would call to mind their extreme rarity and their fabulous value—but only as chemical curiosities and never as substance that would ever be of any possible use to mankind. Then the little vials would be put back on the shelves out of sight, out of mind, until the public wished again to hear the tales of gallium and germanium and radium, and to estimate what it would cost to make a pound of thesn rarities. With the advent of tlio electric furnace and the use of temperatures hitherto unheard of these little vials have been taken down for another purpose. Oxides of tho ram metals have been introduced to the fearful heat and reduced to the form of pure metals, and these rare metals, now rare no longer on account of tho cheapness of reduction nnd abundance of ore, are taking their proper place "J the sphere of industrial activity. The little dust-covered vials are looming up, and keen, hard-headed scientists are studying them with a view to their possibilities and the best means as to their utilization. Take aluminum, for example. In 1888 p.luminum first appeared on the market and sold for $5 a pound. It was still a curiosity, and here and there some one would get hold of an ounce or two and muse over its extreme lightness, its beautiful color and its acid and oxygen' resisting properties. But still a curiosity. Then comes the electric furnace. Aluminum drops from $5 a pound to 35 cents a pound, and the world suddenly sits up very straight and takes notice. A metal more useful than gold or silver possibly than iron, has joined the greit procession of modern business opportunities, and immediately the business man frantically seeks the man of science and talks about "possibilities." v Aluminum has had a remarkable growth, commercially; but the next few decades will show its real value and use. It is popularly supposed that iron is the commonest of all metals but analyses of the earth's crust show that aluminum is the king of all the m.;tals as far as quantity is concerned. There is just a little more than eight per cent, of aluminum in the crust of the earth, or'almost twice as much as there is of iron, and more than 80 times as much aluminum as there is copper. Some time aluminum will'be made for a few cents a pound, and it will eventually displace7 iron in many places where that metal is. now considered to be indispensable. It is about one-third the weight of iron- is about as strong in tensile strength as cast iron and just as soon as the proper alloy of aluminum can be found it will be steel's strongest rival At present metallurgists are handicapped by the fact that aluminum can be made from only one ore, bauxite, and this ore is to be found m few places, and is rapidly being exhausted There is no doubt, however, that in a short time we shall know how to extract the aluminum from ordinary clay, economically- then every clay-bank, will be a-mine of ^ijgr-^de ore' every bit of slate will yield its precious prisoner of pure aluminum, which it has so jealously guarded .for untold ages—and then iron, with its rusting, its crystallization and its queer-eccentricities, as shown when in the form of steel, will- be displaced by its peerless " youne rival, aluminum. Carless About His Money. Prof. Lombroso, the famous Italian criminologist, was extremely willful and, although he asked advice of his family in everything, he always acted contrary to it. When advised to put on dress clothes, for instance, he donned a lounge suit. His indifference to money was proverbial. When he went out he usually put banknotes in the same pocket with his handkerchief, and when he drew it out the notes were frequently lost. Having on several occasions found himself without money through this habit, the professor used to put banknotes in all his pockets, so that if the contents of one were lost he—and his- pet criminals—would have a reserve fund to draw upon. % The Peach Legend. Almost all fruits and flowers have their legend. One about the peach oomes from Japan and tells how a poor, pious old couple were searching for food by tlie roadside. The woman found a peach, which she would not eat of, though starving, till she could share it with her husband. He cut it exactly in half, when an infant leaped forth. It was one of the gods, who had, he said, accidentally fallen out of the peach orchard of heaven while playing. He told them to plant the stone of the peach, and it brought tbem happiness, friends and wealth. - The Actor's Share. A musical comedy or oomic opera of the first class averages a cast of about seventy-five people, while I suppose about seventeen is the average number for a dramatic company. A prima donna who is not a star gets from $100 to $350 a week, the principal comedian from $160 to $500 a week, the tenor from $75 to $300 and the tates about the same. The minor characters range from $40 to $100 a week, while show girls get $25 and $30 and chorus people from $15' to $25, tbe average salary being about $18. The Turkish Fez.

Thursday, April 21 Supplying the Soil with the Elements of Fertility. Mr. J. R. Anderson, in bulletin issued by the government, goes largely into the question of manure and fertilizing the soil. Barnyard manure, he says, is far and away the best all-round fertilizer for any kind of soil. Not only is it as near a perfect fertilizer as can be obtained naturally, but the fact that it is a means of placing humus in the soil, which is being constantly exhausted, alone places it in the front rank of fertilizers, am an advocate, he continues, o placing it on the land fresh day by day, provided the conditions are such that the most valuable con stituents of the manure will not be leached out of the soil. If this is impracticable, then the best plan is to place the manure under cover, spreading it so that it will not heat, and allow calves or other stock to run on it. By those means the rain will not. leach it out, and by spreading over a larger surface it does not heat and so deteriorate in quality; moreover, such a shed forms an excellent open-air space for stock. Other authorities advise well-rotted manure as being the bast form in which to apply it to the land for an apple orchard. From all points, I have faith from personal experience in the application of manure fresh from the stable. In any case, whatever plan is adopted, the greatest care should be taken to prevent the manure from leaching out and heating, either being fatal to its highest usefulness. Unleached wood ash is another valuable fertilizer for fruit trees. Unfortunately, however, in British Columbia, the preportion of conifers is so much in excess of other woods that good wood ash is not obtainable in any quantity, coniferous woods making but very little ash, and that of an inferior quality. All wood ashes, are however, valuable, and should be carefully preserved from rain and applied in an unleached state to the surface of the surface of the ground near fruit trees. A word here of warning as to the placing of fertilizers about trees. 1 have frequently noticed that manures are heaped about the trunks of trees. A little consideration will show the fallacy of this method. Such a practice really does more harm than good, inasmuch as it affords shelter for vermin, field mice, voles, gophers, etc., which destroy the bark of the trees, but the fertilizing elements contained in the manure are wasted, as they are leached out into the soil, and never reach the feeding portion of the roots. What is meant by the feeding parts of the roots are the small fibres which extend a long way from the trunk. These fibres, even in small two-year-old trees, may extend two feet from the trunk, and it can therefore be easily imagined that in a five-year-old tree the distance may be anywhere from ten to twelve feet. It follows therefore, that a clear space of several feet should be allowed all round the trunk of the tree. Commercial or artificial fertilizers so-called, are useful for replacing the lost or wanting elements of fertility in the soil, but it must be understood that they do not supply humus, without which the soil soon becomes hard and lumpy. Therefore, in conjunction with artificial fertilizers, it is important that something should be done to put humus into the soil, and for this purpose no better method can be advised than the seeding down with common red clover, and turning it in the second year. Clover not only supplies the needed humus, but has the effect of introducing nitrogen into the soil from the air, and since nitrogenous forms of fertilizers are the most expensive, it is so much saved to the orchardist. The best plan is to buy commercial fertilizers separately, that is, not as a mixed fertilizer, as the farmer can then apply them in the proportions he v/ishes. It is, of course, difficult, perhaps impossible, to say what constituents the soil is deficient in; but ordinarily a fertilizer containing one and a half to two per cent, of nitrogen, seven to nine per cent, of available phosphoric acid, and ten to twelve per cent, of potash, will give excellent results when applied to orchard land in quantity ranging from 400 to 600 lbs. per acre, but if a crop of clover has been turned in, the nitrogen can be omitted. Prof. Shutt, in a lecture at the annual meeting of the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers' Association, in Feb. 1899, thus describes the functions of the three principal elements of plant food, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash: " Nitrogen is an essential for plant life. Its function, more par- ticulaily, is to promote leaf growth. Leaves are very necessary to the well-being of the tree, as they serve purpose of both mouth and stomach. The fruit also contains a certain amount of nitrogen. It is chiefly, however, for the development of the leaf, without which a good crop of well-formed apples is not obtainable. Trees, in common with all plants, take their nitrogen from the soil in the form of nitrates—compounds formed by various influences and under certain conditions from the nitrogenous organic (vegetable) matter in the soil. The process is known as nitrification, and is brought about by the agency of minute organisms (always present in the soil) when the soil is in good tilth, warm and moist. " Phosphoric acid is contained in the mineral part—ash—of the woody tissue in wood and leaves, as well as in the fruits and seeds. It is not only necessary for growth, but seems to have a special value in the maturing or ripening of both wood and fruit. " Potash: this, of all the mineral constituents, is the most important for fruit trees, both large and small. The well-being of the tree largely depends upon an abundant supply of soil potash in an available condition. It forms by far the greater part of the 'ash' of the wood and leaves, and approximately one-half of that of the fruit." Lime is not a fertilizer in the strict sense of the term, its functions being chiefly in the liberating cf plant food, which is already in the soil but in unavailable forms, and also in the improvement of the conditions of clay, and hard refractory soils. The quantity and frequency that - lime should be applied depends greatly upon the condition of the land. As a general rule it may be stcted that from half a ton to one and a half tons per acre, applied say every five or six years, is sufficient. ANGLICAN St. Michael and. All Angels' Church.

HOW PERIM ISLAND WAS WON The Interesting a.ery That Is Told by A Whit. Heut_ on the Foreshore of the Arabian Const at tho Southern Khtranee to th* Red 8aa. On the foreshore of the Arabian coast In the strait of Bub-ol-Mmideb, at tbo southern -cutrauci* to tho Red sott, stands a largo white houso concerning which the travelers to the far east may hoar a curious story. In the middle 0- the nineteenth century, When M. do Losseps after many difficulties had successfully floated the Sues Canal company, the governor of the British port of Aden, about 100 miles distant, was surprised one morning by the visit of u French squadron of very unusual size for that part of the orient, which, having encountered a terrific storm off Sokotra, had put In for repairs. In the mind of the governor curiosity was at once.aroused as to the destination of so large a command, a curiosity which increased as he found it impossible to extract any further information from the French admiral or his officers beyond the statement that they were upon an ordinary cruise, an explanation which the former was not the least inclined to believe. Firm in the belief, therefore, that some political move of great importance was afloat if not afoot, the governor, in order first of all to gain time, gave orders to go very tortoise-like on the repairs and then set to work to take tho Frenchmen off their guard by giving a succession' of such entertainments as both his slender means and the awful barrenness of the place would afford. But, though at the end of two weeks the French and British officers had got upon the best of terms, the immediate destination of the French squadron remained as much of a mystery to the governor of Aden as before, and in spite of all possible delay the repairs were nearly completed. Now, it happened that the wife of the governor possessed an Irish maid, who had been receiving attentions from one of the French petty officers- attentions which the girl did not regard seriously. It occurred to the governor that by such means something might be learned of his unexpected visitor's plans, and a private conversation between the governor's wife and her maid resulted in another between the latter and her French admirer, by which it was discovered that Perim island was the objective point. -B ■ ; .. At this information the governor opened his eyes wide indeed, for, if the Suez canal were cut through, Perim, as commanding the southern entrance to the Red sea, In the middle • of the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb, would be a place of great strategic importance, over which, without doubt, it was the intention of the French admiral to hoist the tricolor. Secretly giving orders, therefore, for a gunboat to immediately embark a detachment of soldiers and steal away In the night for Perim island, the governor then announced a farewell banquet and ball for the day but one following, a final, act of courtesy with which the French admiral would willingly have dispensed, for he was anxious to sail, but which he could- not well refuse on account of the use he had made ,of the British supplies and machinery at Aden. So the dinner and party In due course came off, the governor being in high spirits, because in the meantime he had received the news of the occupation' of Perim, which under the circumstances would surely be followed by the longed for promotion, and the French admiral was equally happy, for he hoped on the morrow to adu the same Important little speck of land to the dominion of his own country, thereby covering his breast with the stars and himself wltb maritime glory. Next day, after an interchange ot cordial farewells, the French squadron sailed away to an apparently unknown destination, until, when clear of the land, tbe course was laid full speed direct for Perim island. Then what were the dismay and disappointment of the French admiral and his officers when, on coming in sight of their destination, they beheld the British flag flying and a company of soldiers drawn up to give them a proper salute. It is said the French admiral was so mortified at being thus outwitted that he first flung his cocked hat overboard and then followed it himself into the sea. Be this as it may, as Perim was clearly already occupied by the British, the only counter move which the French could make was to take possession of a strip of the foreshore on Ithe opposite Arabian coast, where they, built the fortified white house in question, but as the place was entirely i at the mercy of the guns on Perim ls- 'land It was shortly abandoned, to remain to this day as a monument of a French admiral's undoing.—Exchange In Honor of Minerva. Tbo most notable festival at Athena, was In honor of Minerva. All classes of citizens on this particular day marc hed in procession. The oldest went first, then the young men, then the children, the young women, the matrons aud the people of the lower (irdp;s. The most prominent object to tlie parade was a ship propelled by hidden mnchlnery and bearing at Ita masthead the sacred banner of the soddesa. SALE!

The Celebration on That Day Surpasses the Christmas Feotivltlss. In Paris less is ui'ado ol Christinaa) duy than oi tne lirst ui j imuary. The' celebration oi the loruier is esseiitial-j ly a iamily aliair, while the latter Iivls a \s■iuur-reuchiag significance. There are no preparations in the1 churches for Christmas eve, such aa we are accustomed to in America, no special decorations or entertainments of any kind, except the "messe del minuit," the iniunight mass, sung at a few of the largest churches. After mass comes the "reveille," or midnight hanquet, a long-established festive custom. For this the great restaurants and cafes are at their gayest, open all night, and lilled with parties who prefer to banquet there than at their homes. But it is also a great custom to hold tlie "reveille" at home with friends, and fc^st until 2 ot 3 in the morning. The French Christinas customs in tlie family are becoming more and more like oura in America, especially since the introduction of the Chnstmas tree. But the gifts on the tree are only from members of the fan_- ily; those from friend to friend aia always reserved for the New Year. The Christmas "superstition" botti differs from and resembles our own. The children place their shoes before tlie "cheminee" (there are always fireplaces in the French houses and apartments), and believe that it ifl the infant Christ who fills them with gifts — or, in some cases, that the "pere Noel," or Father Christmas, who corresponds to our St. Nick; sent by the holy child, bring them. The first of the new year, however, is full of activity, and of a sort vs© wearying that most Parisians a<V count it the most disagreeable day in the year. Every one from the servants and concierge to the least individual in one's employ, expects a money gift, and the amount whicfi some families are obliged to dispense in this . way is very large. Furthermore, every thing is at a fabulous price that day. Only the very ricti or yery foolish attempt to take a cab, flowers cost their weight in diamonds, and restaurant prices are doable and treble, to say nothing of __• enormous tips expected. All gifts between friends are e__- changed on New Year's, and many calls made. This, too, comes hard pal a man who is, for example, an em-' ploye, for he is expected to pay big respects to all his superiors in business position. If one has on his list of acquaintances any old people he ia duty-bound to make each one a call also. For the majority, it is a day dreaded in advance and ended witu relief. The churches have no special services for the New Year. The midnight watch service held in some ot our Protestant churches has its counterpart in the one on Christmas eve. But friends often watch the old year out, and toast Uie New Year and each other in champagne. Town and Country News. Lots of Vowels. Dr. Mathison, Dentist, Rowcliffe Block. Phone 89.

A Hawaiian finds it almost impossible to pronounce two consonants together, and in English he has the greatest difficulty in pronouncing any word end* ing with a consonant. Mr. Hale ia his Polynesian grammar says: "In all the Polynesian dialects every syllabi* must terminate in a vowel, and twa consonants are never heard without a vowel between them. It is chiefly to this peculiarity that the softness of these languages is to be attributed. The longest syllables have only three. letters, and many syllables consist ol a single vowel." Again, no syllable, as a general rule, in the Bantu family of African speech can end in a consonant, but only in vowels. The Appian Way. The famous Appian way was constructed by digging two parallel trenches, three feet in depth, at the bottom of which were placed two layers of flat stones in mortar, upon which a layer of cobblestones waa placed, also laid in mortar. Thea came a course of pebbles in concrete, over which were placed large, flat blocks of smooth lava well joined together, forming an even, uniform surface. It was primarily a military road and extended from Rome to Bran- dusium, a distance of 350 miles. So perfect was the construction of this celebrated road that it still exists in places as good as ever, notwithstanding it was made more than twenty centuries ago. A Welcome Visitor. Prospectors in Alaska who spend the long winters up there sometimes are incredibly lonely, says The Satins day Evening ,Post. A man named Hartford was left in charge of % mine one winter. He was all aloM and at the end of the third monti- wns. sighing for companionship. One morning lie left his cabin to get soma wood und met au enormous black bear that reared on its hind legs and stretched out its front paws as ii to hug tho miner. "Good morning, bear," said tho miner, holding out his hand. 'TJtt darned glad to see you." Eggs of Crabs and Lobsters. . Crabs and lobsters are batched from eggs, resembling upon birth not-dug so much as the ahimalculae showa by the microscope in a drop of ditch water. They arc us unlike the shellfish they are to become' in mature life us a grub is unlike a butterfly. In the ouse of tho crab the egg clusters are attached beneath the animal after extrusion, while with the lobster they become fastened to the tail, which by its fanning motion increases the stream of oxygenated air through and among the ova. *t Giants Nearly Twenty FrA Tali. The giant Ferrugus, who was slain by Orlando, the nephew of Charlemagne, wua, it is ulleged, eighteen feet high. He always accompanied the army on foot, there being no horse tall and strong enough to carry him. Platerus in his' published writings tells of a 'giiMit whom he oxamined at Lucerne whose body measured nineteen' feet four inches and three lines. The work of stripping the wood boxing from the Dalgleish & Glenn cement building started last Monday, revealing a fine concrete structure, very evenly placed, and reflecting great credit on the builders. The work of laying the floors is being pushed. Sun blinds are making their appearance again outside the stores, giving to the town its summer garb once more. Mr. G. H. E. Hudson has made arrangements to build a large studio at Penticton and the structure is in the course of erection in Smith St. Mr. Hudson has taken as a partner Mr. K. M. Chadwell, who is an old school-fellow of Mr. Hudson's. Mr. Chadwell will manage the Penticton business, the studio of which is to be completed by the 25th, and will measure 16x45. Mr. Hudson will continue to manage his growing business here, which is still being run under his own name. : The Lacrosse team are rejoicing in having a cup offered, them for competition. Several league matches will be arranged, and la crosse promises to take a prominent part in Kelowna's sports this year. R. Sullivan returned on Monday last from a trip to the mountains, where he had a remarkable catch of lynx and. other fur bearing animals. He intends to return again to-day, following up the old trails in the hope of getting more prey. The first brew of the Kelowna Brewery arrived in town last Monday. The small sample keg, which was brought into* town by Mr. Bert Johnstone, was bottled and distributed among friends. A pathetic sight was witnessed last week in Main street. The sudden turn to summer heat had evidently had its effect on the animal kingdom, and a teetotal dog which had still a natural thirst, put its paws on the edge of the water trough in pleasant anticipation of a cooling draught. But alas! it was dryer than a government report! A benevolent council, which had placed the trough there, had evidently forgotten to leave instructions for the water to be turned on after the frost was gone, and so the poor dog got none. The Women's Auxilliary of the English church, are holding"^ sale of aprons and pinafores on Saturday next, April 23rd, in the Kellar block.

NorMore Roosters Mr. Robert Pollock has secured an interesting little machine, by which the sex of eggs, plants, or trees can be determined. More than that it will demonstrate whether .here is life in the subject tested or not. It works on either human beings, animals, or plants, and is coming into use by poultry fanciers. The instrument consists of • celluloid bell on a metal frame, about the size and shape of an ordinary tumbler, inside the bell is a pendulum contrivance consisting of a metal ball suspended by a wire. The suspended wire is placed in contact with the hand of the operator, when the pendulum will swing in a circular motion if the object to be tested is male, and straight backwards and forwards if the subject be female. If there is no life, the pendulum declines to move. Unfertile eggs can thus be rejected, and the proportion of pullets obtained according to the wish of the operator. The instrument is being generally used in the old country and poultry raisers are i reaping excellent results. Mr, Pollock, who has secured the agency for Canada, has set a full setting of eggs tested for pullets, and his friends are watching for results with a considerable amount of in- terest—Summerland 9£eWeu>. _.
