BRITISH COLUMBIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22. 1910. $1.50 Per Annum. ins of Board of Trade Reports Received Concerning Exhibits Sent to the Canadian National Apple .Show % The Board of Trade held a meeting last Thursday evening, principally for the purpose of receiving reports from Mr. F. R. E. DeHart and Mr. B. McDonald with respect to the exhibits of apples sent down in their charge to the Canadian National Apple Show recently held" at Vancouver. Mr. P. DuMoulin, the president^ took the chair. Mr. M. Hereron in reply to a question as to the improvements on Mission Creek asked for by the Board, reported that the government engineers were already at work on the creek on the portion referred to. A ..wall was being built on the south side with the object of stopping the under-mining of the bank. The creek was being cleaned out at that point and it was the intention of the government to make a good job of it. The secretery, Mr. R. B. Kerr, had an unusually large batch of correspondence to read. Much of this, however,, was relating to advertising, and offers of space from various journals. In order to save the time of the meeting, a proposal was made that'correspondence relating to advertising should - be referred to the Publicity Committee. This wag put to the vote and carried. -y A suggestion was made that the Board take up the question of labour, the pressing need of which, it was pointed out, was becoming a'serious problem for fruitgrowers. 7' Mr. B. McDonald drew'attention to the circular which had been sent round by the Fruitgrowers' Associ- ation to its members. It would do a great deal of good if the questions there asked were carefully answered by all fruitgrowers. , Mr. Pitcairn thought that as the matter was being taken in hand by the Fruitgrowers' 'Association, it would serve no useful purpose for the Board of Trade to deal with the question individually. The Association represented the whole of the province, and would carry a .great deal more influence. A - A communication was read from the Winnipeg Bbard of Trade, enclosing a resolution pointing out the advantages of . independent government control of the Hudson's Bay railway; This-resolution the Kelowna .board was asked to endorse. ~"'Mr.'R. B. Kerr spoke at some length on the proposal, which he said wad a most important one. It was said that the new line would bring the . wheat-growing sections of the prairie provinces a thousand miles nearer the European market. The farmers should be given the full benefit of this by having tKe railway run by the government as an independent line. It was certain that if the undertaking was allowed to fell into the hands of the other companies, the rates would be put up in order to prevent damage to their eastern lines. A jnotion was passed that the resolution be endorsed, and certified copies sent to Sir/ Wilfrid Laurier, Mr. Graham and Mr. Martin Burrell. A letter was read from Mr. J. L Pridham, who is at present at the coast, stating amongst other matters that he .understood that Mr. F. R. E. DeHart had refused to sell fruit to the Deputy Minister of Agriculture fpr. sending to the Old Country on the ground that no Okanagan man was being sent with the government's exhibit. This action Mr. Pridham characterized as unwise and childish. Mr. DeHart, commenting upon the letter, said that it did not, represent the facts. The District Exhibit, which was the one under his charge, he had disposed of to the best advantage, as he thought by selling it for $50 to the Central Okanagan Land Company, who wished to exhibit it in Montreal and other placet in the east. The advertising thus secured yould be just as good as if the fruit had gone to the old country. As to an Okanagan man going with the government exhibit, he certainly thought the valley should be represented there. The Okanagan, he understood, was sending from 70 to 80 per cent, of the fruit, and a man.should be sent from here in stead of sending men from the Island or the Lower Mainland. Mr. Leckie moved that a reply be sent to Mr. Pridham stating that Mr. DeHart had no authority from the Board of Trade for any such action. This was passed. Mr. J. W. Jones said that it was an important matter to the valley that an Okanagan man should be sent with the government's exhibit to the old country. He thought if representations were made to the government there should be no difficulty about it. Mr. Pitcairn objected. He did not see how the government could be expected to send a man to boost one place more than another. An Okanagan man might certainly He expected to be better informed on matters of fruitgrowing, but he thought Mr. Bullock-Webster of Keremeos was a very good man for the purpose. Mr. J. W. Jones, Mr. T. Lawson and the president were appointed to attend the meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade to be held at Vernon in January. Mr. Rees, of the Royal Bank, Mr. J. B. Whitehead, Mr. W. E. Adams and Mr. Upton were elected new members of the Board. 7 Mr. B. McDonald then presented his statement of finances in connection with the car of Jonathans taken down by him to the Apple Show. Cost of car as per invoice...... $1537.50 Expenses taking to show 409.7V $1947.20 Return from sale of fruit......... $1500.00 Sweepstakes prize 1000.00 $2500.00 Leaving a balance exclusive of $100 gold medal, to the credit of the Board of Trade, of $552.80. Mr. T. Lawson then read.a statement of the expenses and returns of the district and limited displays sent down to the show in charge of, Mr. DeHart. Some difficulty had been experienced in fixing the cost to the Board, owing to the fact that Mr. DeHart had taken a large amount of fruit on his own account, and the expenses of collecting, etc., coula bot Very well be Jkspt separate. /ESs difficulty had been got ever by ..ascertaining the entire cost of the '258' boxes taken, and then fixing the proportionate cost of the 59 bozes included in the Board of Trade's exhibits. The statement then read as follows: Cost of 49 boxes laid down in Van,..$218.49 Expense of setting up, decorating, etc., the District Exhibit and Limited Display 555.26 Boxes and crates.... 6.25 $760.00 Returns from fruit sold $ 81 50 Cash prize District Exhibit 500.00 Cash prize Limited Display 125.00 $706.50 Excluding the value of the gold medal won, and pending the settlement of a misunderstanding which had arisen with the management of the National Apple Show over the payment of the special prize of $500 donated by the National Resources Security Co., Ltd., the result showed a deficit of $73.50. A good deal of discussion followed in an effort to arrive at the exact position of the Board. Mr. Lawson strongly deprecated the unfair and ungenerous criticism of Mr. DeHart in the matter of his expenses, and for the fact that the cost of the exhibit had exceeded the $500 voted for that purpose. Even though a little more had been spent than was voted, they had won, and Kelowna had got a magnificent advertisement at no cost whatever to the Board. He thought the members ought to be Continued 90 psse 6. Meeting of the City Council Aid. Cox Suggests Extension of Fire Limits A meeting of 'he city council was held last Monday, the Mayor, Aldermen Harvey, Leckie, and Jones being pre. ent. The. following accounts were referred to the finance committee for payment: Collett Bros., teaming on cemetary ' , survey ._..$ 30 50 Hungston, Smith Arms Co., police supplies 16 00 Dr. Huycke, examining prisoner..;. 5 00 J.

C. Municipalities 29 20 The Electric Light By-law, No. 81, was then read a third time and finally passed. Aid. Cox brought up the matter of fire limits, which he said he would very much like to see extended. , As he had gone around he had seen stove pipes sticking out of from buildings, and all sorts of dangerous conditions which ought to be prevented. . He suggested extending the fire limit to include another block oh the south. A-lot of small buildings and shacks were going up in that area which were adding gseatly to the fire risk. Mayor Sutherland thought that the ordinary building by-law should cover the matter of stovepipes, and on reference this was found/to be_ .case.'' ■ -. ._•. A Asked if he would like to bring before the council a recommendation with respect to the extension of the fire limits, Aid. Cox said he certainly would, as the matter was a most important one. The meeting then .adjourned until Saturday next, Dec. 2,4th at 8 p.m. ons Practically iii Same Position as Before Dissolution The British 'elections are concluded, and the result is as was expected, the parties standing practically in the same position as they were before. The net gain to the Libera!s_of. one seat justifies the government in immediately proceeding to press forward a bill abolishing the veto power of the House of Lords. The standing of the parties is: Liberals 271, Nationalists 73, O'Brienites 11, Labor- ites 43, Unionists 272. The services next Sunday in the Baptist church will be of a special character. The subject in the morning will be "The meaning of Christmas." In the evening the theme will be "The realization of Christmas." There will be special music by the choir at both services The following anthems will be rendered : "It came upon the midnight clear." "All this night," "In the fields/' Miss Fallse and Miss Dorothy Evans will take the solo parts. A cordial invitation is extended to all. Mr. J. C. Collins left this morning for a short visit to the coast. The old bridge at the five bridges is being torn down and removed this week. The heavy fall of snow, with the warm bright days, has made n most seasonable Christmas. Christmas stoxe decorations have not been particularly in evidence this year. The unusual rush of business, together with the crowded state of the stores, not giving much opportunity for fancy display.

A Pretty Reception ' Mrs. Oxley held a reception on Wednesday last, Dec. 14th, for the first time since her marriage. Her pretty home was beautifully decorated for the occasion. -. White crysanthemurns. and carnations wete plentifully displayed, and the tea^ble looked'very pretty-with a centrepiece and other decorations of these blossoms. A most attractive effect was produced by the stiearners of white ribbon which were carried" from the corners of the table to the chandelier above. Mrs. Oxley received in her wed- diess of French blue silk chiffon. Mrs. Daniels, "whp received with her, was gowned in white silk. The hostess was assisted by Mrs. J.

The dooi was attended by little Miss Hazel Williams, who was daintily dressed in white. .Over 80 ladies called. Skating appears as though it will be at a premium this year. The skating rink proprietors are still waiting for a freeze. The city council, according to measurements taken last week, have laid nearly five miles of water mains this year.

Kelowna Cigars Win Favor Steadily but surely Kelowna tobacco is winning its way into popular favor, and there is no doubt that in .the near future the industry will be conducted on a much more extensive scale than at present. Lately Mr. Holman, the manager of the Kelowna Tobacco Co., has been in communication with the purchasing agents of trie western branch of the C.P.R., with the le- sult that a trial order for Kelowna brand cigars has already been forwarded, and In all probability, before very long, Kelowna cigars will be supplied exclusively on all the CP.R. system west of Calgary.

ThVriioming service was conducted -Iw^hi* Rev,.J.-Ball," of Kelowna, who gave a very excellent and instructive address. A notable feature at this service was the Bible* knowledge contest conducted by Mr. A. E. Clarke, the superintendent; Rev. Mr. Vance and Dr. Baker acting as judges. The questions were somewhat difficult, covering Bible divisions, writers; repeating Creed, Commandments, passages, etc. The readiness with which the answers were given was very creditable to the contestants..

The annual day school entertainment and Christmas Tree was held at the Rutland school on Friday evening last. .A large number of parents and friends .were .present, and the scholars were out in full force. A very substantial sum had been donated in the district, and the tree was consequently well loaded with Christmas gifts. Dr. Baker "occupied the clvolr. Miss Lewis and Miss Bird had undertaken the task of training the children for their various parts, and tlie long and- well rendered programme spoke volumes for the patience and perseverance which had been expended upon it. Addresses were given by Mr.S. Sproul, Mr. C. H. LeatKley, and Rev. Mr. Vance. Santa Claus then made his appearance; and the presents were distributed amongst the anxiously waiting children. Mr. G.

The rendering of " The Messiah" by the Mupical and Dramatic S >c- iety which had been arranged for the 29th of this month has been postponed until Jan. 4th of the new- year.

Some years ago the copper from Lord Nelson's flagship, "Victory" was given by the Lords of the Admiralty, with the consent of King Edward, to the British and Foreign Sailor's Society, the oldest institution of its kind in the British Empire. This copper was placed on sale in the form of souvenirs of various designs, the proceeds going to the above mentioned society Through the munificence of Lord Strathcona—truly "Canada's Grand Old Man "—a quantity of this copper was made up into shields for presentation to schools and col leges throughout Canada. In every case the shield is to become the sole property of the school, but a "warden"' is to be appointed an. nually, his selection being based on excellence in some particular line of work, or on honor and in tegrity of character. Kelowna has been fortunate enough to obtain two of these shields one for the high school and one for the public school, and on Fri day last they were formally presented, speeches being delivered by Mayor Sutherland, Thos. Lawson Secretary of the School Board, J. W. Jones, Revs. Herdman, Davidson and Welsh. The wardens for the year are, Rae Ritchie for the high school, and Alwin Weddell for the public school.

Pruning, Spraying, Planting, etc. P.O., Kelowna. ; lOiOOO All Varieties* Mr. J. C. Metcalfe, market commissioner . under the' Department of Agricultnre, has jsst issued his genera! report covering his investigations in the prairie provinces duripg the past summer and fall into market bonditions. etc., there. in. his report he says: The*market has extended even more rapidly than was anticipated from the conditions known to exist last year, and although our crop was more than treble that of last year, .there-has.hot been the slightest difficulty iii disposing of it at prices profitable tb the growers. Had pur. crop been dpuble what if waa, it cdiild still have been disposed of. The fruit crop of Eastern Canada was very short this season, and this elimated competition fronr this source almost entirely outside bf Winnipeg. Apples and grapes from Ontario are coming freely at the date of this report but the supply cannot be kept up as stocks in Eastern Gonada are already seriously depleted. The opinion of jobbers this season has been expressed mainly by deeds, as they have .been extensive buyefs.bf British Columbia fruits of all kinds. Indeed, where last year the:y were almost wholly indifferent this' year they were verv keen to get pur fruit, and to pay lh« highest market piices. Retailers concurred irfthe opinion of the jobbers af to thequality of our fruit. The question of whether our small- ffuit3 snailj'.be a$handled through the jobbers or through the retailers is-one that will have to be dealt with "hiirnediately. Small fruits wil[ have to bei.handled through one or the otherexclusive- ly, as otherwise our fruit would come in competition with itself. If handled through jobbers, the jobbers would of necessity have to furnish the machinery for distribution andjhujs-avoid.. ajl possibility of any market; becoming glutted. If supplied on order to the retailers, it would be necessary for the fruit organizations of British Columbia to send out their own travelers and solict the orders. British Columbia cherries did better jhis year than'last owing to the unusual dryness of the season, but plums did nor-hold np well from the Lower Mainland when shipped by freight. All our large fruits grown in the new sections of the upper parts of the province, apples, pears and crab-apples from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island are all £very acceptable to the_f-tiit trade of the dffferent provinces, but particularly in the prov- inde of Alberta, where, up to the present time, the greater part of our-output has been marketed. So marked is this preference that they will p^y more for our fruit than for either Arhe'rican or Ontario fruit To this, however, there are except- ions~>-namely, the plums, prunes peaches, and cherries from the Lower Mainland, and plums, prune «md peaches from ^Vancouver Island and Islands. " The"piantirig of these" fruits should be discouraged by the. Department in future and the planting of small fruits encouraged, also such large fruits as apples, crab- apples and pears' for which these districts are .Well adapted/ The reason for this is obvious. Our climatic conditions. P.n the Lower Mainland arid Islands, through the humidity of meitmdsphere,.favor the growth of fungous*.diseases, and more particularly what is tailed "brown rot,*! in Plums, .prunes, peaches and cherries; this fenders them unfit ferlphg transportation, as they altoge^eirTack the holding -up qualities sd*esaential in successful fruit-shipping, esperisJly were wejhaveltojfcbme in competition with fruits from the upper part of the province and from the American side. I found the prejudice general on. the part of ji. bjbers retailers and consumers against fruits from'these particalar districts. The varieties most appreciated are:- . Apples-Yellow Transparent,, and Duchess for early ; Gravenstein .and*Wealthy for fall..; JCm*. Mb- 7 IritQsh Red, Northern ;Spy7 and Jonathan, for winter. Pears~Bartlet8, Beurre, Clairgeau arid Beurre DAnjou. Cherries-Almost any variety' df good size that will ship and arrive in good condition, and the same applies to the different varv ieties of small fruits. . ._'• Peathei»~The:' best varieties are Freestones (yellow flesh), Elbertas, and Crawfofds. , With respect to holdings already planted with plums, prunes and peaches on Yannouycr Island, and pluma, prunca, peaches and cher- rie. on the Lower Mainland, the bnl3r solution.is the local market and the cannery. All that v/as said last 5'ear as to the need of increasing supplies may'be said with equal truth this year. The proof of this is that much of the success of the season just closing was due to our being able to supply fruits of one .Variety in larger quantities than was possible last year. Fewer varieties ..and larger quantities must be the motto of British Columbia fruit-growers for many years to come, always bearing in mind the varieties suited lo the different districts and the markets to be supplied Competition from the American side and Ontario will be just as keen as ever, but the past season has given British Columbia a grip on the trade which she did not have before, as the presistant advertising of our fruit is beginning to bring results, and wherever . W. Crowley Co. Kelowna Ltd. Wholesale & Retail Butchers Goods delivered to any part the City We give our prompt attention to mail orders' Phone 12 em fruit was given a fair trial it made good. The largeness of our crop this season was a factor also in making jobbers, more willing to trade with us than formerly. While, as stated in my report last year, the fruit-hbuses of the prairie, provinces are largely controlled by American capital, the claim which they made last year that they were free tp buy the best fruit in the cheapest market, has been made good in a great measure as.many of them have this season bought more than the independant houses. The list of these independent housea remains much the same as last year; The Auction Mart in Winnipeg is still carried on. These houses claim a shortage of supply of standard varteties on the part of British Colombia growers, and that they are prepared to buy larger quantities as we produce them, and meet the American compelion in the. matter of prices.,._... Jobbers state, with reference to our piices, that' while "'they- are willing to pay more for our-fruit than they pay for American fruit, they ars not willing to pay the extreme, difference asked by British Columbia growers. Prices, on the whole, nave been well maintained for all fruits, with the possible exception peaches near the close of cliffe Block the season. : Prices on this fruit dropped to a point where the profft to. the grower was very -narrow after all expenses were paid. rThis difficulty might be. overcome: by more carefuL attention to distribution. 7 In regard to the handling of fruits 'one of the three methods outlined in my final peport last year is necessary, and I am of the opinion that the marketing through the present jobbing-houses will be the most satisfactory to our growers and shippers at che present time at least. Either of the other methods would entail very great expense in getting under way, because, if not handled through present jobbing-houses these houses vypuld come in active competion with .-.our own, and price-cutting would. be> the natural result. The present jobbing hpuses now real ize the great possibilities of fruit grooving in British Columbia, and have already to some'extent fulfilled their promise of last year of coming in and buying o.ur fruit in quantities and paying cash for it, and this method of buying will unquestionably be extended.by.them next year,. • I have to report a ,very marked improvement in the packing and loading of cars. Manv of the jobbers have complimented the British Columbia people on this point particularly, and through the past season there- has been no loss on this score. Nothing is so well done, however, that it cannot be done better, and for that reason, and also for the benefit of new growers who have not previously done any packing , the directions of last year are repeated:— 1. Place most perishable fruit— pears for example—nearest the ice bunkers. 2. Leave plenty of ventilation along bottom of car and between rows of crates. 3. Leave abundant space for bracing at centre of car, and see that all braces are strongly secured to prevent slewing of crates when cars are shunted. 1, Never fill a car more than two-thirds full, as the natural heat generated by the fruit rises, and if there is any bad fruit in a car, it is sure tb be on top. In addition to the above , it 'is very desirable to have the fruit as cool as possible before it is packed. For example, fruit picked one day should not be packed until the next, and should be kept in well ventilate houses, where the cool night air will have free access to Continued on pace 6. ..

JOHN CURTS CONTRACTOR & BUILDER Plans and Specifications Prepared and estimates given for publicBuild- ings.Town and Country Residences JOHN CURTS, KELOWNA Fruit Commissioner's Report. Continued from page. 5. it. There is a very general outcry on the part of jobbers and retailers lhat express rates arc too high, while on the other hand the Express Company claims persistently that it is carrying British Columbia fruit at a loss! The Lower Mainland growers, especially, are clamouring for a lower rate on ton and a half lots to enable them to ship their plums and prunes by express. The express service has been greatly improved during the last year at all distributing and transfer points, and any failure in the handling of our fruits have usually been traced to new hands, the regular staff, apparently, endeavouring to improve the service. The point made last year as to uneven platforms has not been disregarded. New platforms have been laid at some of the transfer points, and further improvements of the same kind are promised for the near future. As regards freight rates, some of the irregularities, have been adjusted, and there is hope for others being attended to. Speaking generally, freight rates are fairly satisfactory. Last year, in summing up my report, I laid emphasis on a few points, and all that was said then can be said this year with increased earnestness. There is one point however, which I wish to enlarge upon, and that is co-operation. It is only by gathering our fruit-growers into organizations, either large or small, that we can hope to increase the supply of fruit, both large and small; to improve the quality of the fruit by stirring up interest in more thorough cultivation and other methods, snch as spraying, pruning thinning, etc.; growing the varietes of fruit wanted by prairie markets, and in better packing and more care in shipping. Further, it is only by co-operation that the fruit growers can control the sale of their fruit and the uniformity of the pack. By cooperation it will be possible to ship in carloads a uniform quality packed in a uniform manner. Too much stress cannot be laid on these things. Along this line nothing would be more valuable to the fruit-growers than the establishment of Government schools or depots in the fruit growing districts, where proper methods of packing would be taught at a small cost to the. individual. Bv co-operation also it would be possible to lessen cost of production in securing a supply of labour, the cost of packages, spraying material, and implements used in orchard work; in fact, a dozen ways. The season just passed has marked progress along many lines for the British Columbia fruit-growers, and the success of the future is largely in their own hands. With a corresponding improvement in each coming year the prophecy of Earl Grey will be fulfilled, that our province will find that she has a greater asset in her orchards than in her mines. J. C. METCALFE. Commissioner. Meeting of the Board of Trade [V .TV" 01 MONEY TO LOAN On improved property also other securities G. A. FISHER ROOM ft KKLLER BLOCK Fire, Life, and Accident Insurance. At the Opera House Continued from page I more than satisfied with the result. Mr. DeHart admitted that he had exceeded a little the specified sum- It was all very well to fix a certain amount here, but when he had-got down to the show and had seen what others were doing he had determined for the sake of the town and his own reputation that no effort must spared to win the District Display. To lose that for the want of a little additional expense would have been a great disaster to Kelowna. He compared the expenses of other towns which had spent considerably more than he had done, and won comparatively nothing. Mr. Pitcairn proposed that the statements as presented be accepted by the Board. The discussion, however, still continued and Mr. B. McDonald pointed out that nothing had been charged in his estimate for his own time and that of Mr. J. Gibb. He observed that as Mr. DeHart had included in his charges sixteen days at $5 a day he might as well do the same. He would therefore present a bill for $160 for himself and Mr. Gibb. After some more or less heated discussion this was agreed to and the statements were passed deducting $80 each for Mr. McDonald and Mr. Gibb. Mr. McDonald offered to return ihe $80 if tbe Board would grant him a life-membership. Mr. Kerr proposed and Mr. De- Hart fe;onded "That Mr. McDonald be granted a life-membership on account of his generous return of $80 granted to him as personal expenses while attending the National Apple Show." In a brief speech the president offered the congratulations of the Board to Mr. DeHart and Mr. McDonald for the splendid success which hnd been achieved at the show. This was endorsed by the meeting amid much applause. Mr. DeHart suggested as there was no proper place to keep the valuable medals and other trophies which had been won on various occasions, Mr. J. B. Knowles be asked to take charge of them. Mr. Knowles expressed his willingness to do so. The matter of the $500 special prize on the District Display was then discussed. It was stated the management of the show were objecting to pay more than $500 on the ground that the special prize was substituted for the ordinary prize of $500 previously announced, whereas it had been clearly understood that it was in addition to the regular prize and that the total should be $1000. The secretary was instructed to write to the management asking that the additional prize of $500 be forwarded. Mr. R. B. Kerr gave notice that it would be necessary for the Board to consider the appointment of a paid secretary. Other places, he pointed out, with far less work than Kelowna were paying their secretaries. He suggested the appointment of a man at a salary of 8ay$l00 a year, who would thus be able to give far more attention tothe work than he possibly could. The meeting then adjourned. AN OCEAN OF A1P.

Admirable Description of This Sea In Whose Depths We Live. We live at the bottom of a mighty sea, says a writer in giving a very entertaining and instructive article on the ocean of air about us. Sometimes from out its clear unsullied depths we behold afar the glittering stars swinging in their everlasting orbits. At other times the sea is dark and murky, and even at noonday we may not see aught of the Kins of Day save a dull, coppery ball. This ocean is wider and deeper and more easily moved than the aqueous oceans which separate continent from continent. Sometimes it moves so gently to and fro that the dewdrop on the fragrant rose is undisturbed. At other times it moves with such tremendous violence that mighty oaks, root.cl for centuries, are tossed r.bout like pipestetns. Sometimes it wafts the white sailed vessels across the sunlit seas to their haven under tho hill. Again it bears down upon them with terrible fury and sends them to the harbor of aliasing ships beneath the seas. It laps up the water from ocean and river and returns it in beneficent rain and clew. It gives to us the beautiful azure of noonday, and the chromatic glories of sunrise and sunset. It brings the day earlier than it otherwise would come, and holds the sunlight at evening in the twilight's delightful glow. It gives us the breath of life with its abundance of oxygen, and provides for the food that is to be our nourishment, as every morsel of breadstuff that enters into our beings must be part of. the atmosphere. Its constituents are so nicely and so delicately balanced that a very slight variation in their relative proportions would mean that no human being, constituted as we are at present, could exist at all. It gives us of its substance while we live and when we die it gradually takes back the materials it has loaned us, and we return to the dust whence we sprang. It gives us the glorious sky with its wondrous clouds and shining light and wards off the grim, eternal night that is everywhere a hundred miles above us. It protects us from the fierce heat of the sun. which would otherwise burn us to a crisp. It wraps its fleecy mantle about us, and keeps away the icy cold of space, 460 degrees below zero. It meets afar the fierce darts of cosmic dust, those wanderers in the eternities of space, and burns them to ashes, before they can pierce us like needle darts moving with a velocity far greater than that of a rifle'bullet. It soothes us to sleep with its gentle, kindly touch, and brings cooling zephyrs to stay the fever that burns the invalid's cheek. A Bet and Its Odds. A notorious gambler who died some time ago once wagered a thousand dollars to one that six would not be thrown with a pair of dice ten times in succession. His offer was taken up by a fellow clubman. The dice wore brought, and his opponent actually threw six nine times in succession. The gambler then offered $470 to bs free of the bet. The other man declined, had his tenth throw and failed to get another six. Just to show how very little the average man knows about the doctrine of chances, a well known mathematician has pointed out the real odds about this bet. The chances were no less than 60,466,175 to 1 against six being thrown ten times in succession. Therefore the real bet should have been about $600,000 to a cent against such a thing happening. Stung. He stood at a street corner and mentally kicked himself. "I went into a drug store just now," he told a policeman, "and I asked a bold female clerk for some cold cream for my wife. She handed me out this quart jar of the stuff, more than my wife can use in ten years, and charged me a dollar for it. On the way out I saw a stack of twenty-five cent jara of the same thing. Do you think a man clerk would ever play a customer a trick like that?" "No, I don't," said the policeman. "Why don't you take itbackP" "And have her look at me the scornful way she would? Don't you ever think it. I wouldn't go inside that store again for $50." He Got Off Easy. ■. An elderly darky was charged with j the theft of some chickens. The ne- , gro had the misfortune to be defended by a young and inexperienced attorney, although it Is doubtful whether any one could have secured his acquittal, the commission of the crime having been proved beyond all doubt. The darky received a pretty severe sentence. "Tlmnk you. sah," said he cheerfully, addressing the judge when the sentence had been announced, i "Dnt's mighty hard, sah, but it ain't anywhere near what I 'speoted. I thought, sah, dot between my chara<v ter and dat speech of mart lawyer dat you'd hang me shore!" The Bundle of Hay. "How is this, Herr Wirt?" exclaim- ed the amazed traveler, going over the items of food and drink on his bill. "You have me charged with a bundle of hay." "Quite right, quite right," responded the jolly German landlord readily, "you com pi ui ned last night of the mooing of a cow in the adjoining stable, and I gave her a bundle of hay to quiet her." Some V/ar Expenses. The Napoleonic wars cost England $4,320,000,000. The war of 1870 between France and Germany cost $3,300,009,- 000, and the civil war in the United States exacted a toll from both sides of over $6,600,000,000. The Boer war cost Knglnnd over $1,000,000,000, and the struggle between Russia and Japan cost more than twice that sum. A Proverb Rovoried.

TRENCH ________ Provincial -and General News An invitation has been sent to tlie department of militia and defence at Ottawa, asking Canada to send a military contingent, seven hundred strong to represent the Dominion in the military pageant at the coronation. An appeal to the United States arbitration board has been made bv the sixty-one railways in the western states in the hope of avoiding the threatened strike of the engineers which would paralyza every road running west from Chicago. Last Thursday was the 40th birthday of the Hon. Richard McBride, K.C., L.L. D..M.L.A., Premier of British Columbia. Neil Keith, one of the best known contractors in America, was found frozen to death in the hills south of Moose Jaw, Sask;, recently While suffering from a fever he wandered away about six weeks ago. Mr; Keith had built railway lines for all the principal companies in the West. "China will never be Christianized." This is the belief of th^ Rev. August H. Bach, a missionary of Canton province, China. As a missionary, the Rev. Mr. Bach served twelve years among the Chinese. During that time he studied them closely, their manners, customs and habits. He is probably as well versed in Chinese lore as any white man of the Orient, and knowing the Chinese as he does, he declares that the Christian churches of the world are wasting thousands of pounds every year in The last link in'the proposed route of the Canadian Northern Railway from Lytton to Port Mann has been finally surveyed. Last week the survey party of Mr. W. K. Gwyer finished work on the survey revision between Popkin and Hope. The section from Hope to Lytton wa8 completed some time ago, and if- any alterations are made there they will be slight. The contract for construction on the section from Port Mann to Popkin, a distance of some 60 miles, was let last summer, and the clearing work along the right-of- way is already done, with the grading well advanced. It is announced that the contract for the preparatory construction from Popkin to Hope, some 20 miles, will be completed to p«rmitjjJ.of other contracts being awarded on this portion of the line. £isic__ Penticton real estate men are forming themselves into aaassocia- tion for the better regulation of the business.

A Startling Statement It has been said by those who have investigated the matter carefully that, although at the age of 45 fully 80 per cent, of men are established in whatever pursuit they follow and are in receipt of income's in excess of their expenditure, at the age of 60 it has been found that 95 per" cerit.'. are dependent upon their daily earnings, or upbn tneirchirdren for support. Many, rip doubt, read the despatch from, Detroit -which recently appeared in the' Canadian papers, and which described the condition of'a man wHo-but' a little more than forty years ago was a "financial power "in that city, who had ^a " palatial home "on one of tKe most. fashionable thoroughfares, entertained lavishly, and to whom every person, high and low, was prepared. „to pay homage. But the fates were against him. He suffered serious financial losses, and when he began to go down hill he found it was properly greased for the occasion.' His friends deserted him like rats iron a sinking ship, and now at 80 years of age, after his day's labour, Jhe wends his way to the", city with the bent, broken down old men who have influence enough to have their names on the city's pay roll. The moral is that out of your abundance something should be laid aside for declining years, and invested where thieves cannot reach it, and where one cannot be deprived of it in any possible way. This means is afforded you under the Canadian (Government Annuities Act which the Parliament of Canada passed in the Session 1908, and which received the unanimous support of both sides of the House, You may get all information by applying at the Post Office, or by addressing the Superintendent of Annuities, Ottawa.

RUB THE OTHER EYE. And Let the One In Which the Bit of Cinder Lodges Alone. Nine persons out of every ten with a cinder or any other foreign substance in the eye will instantly begin to rub it with one baud while bunting for a handkerchief with tbe other. This is all wrong. The right way ia not to rub the eye witb tbe cinder ln it, but to rub the other as vigorously as you like. A few months ago I was riding on the engine of a fast express. Tbe engineer threw open the front window of the cab, and 1 caught a cinder in my eye, wbicb gave me Intense pain. 1 began to rub the eye desperately, wben tbe engineer called to me: "Let that eye alone aud rub tbe other one." Thinking he was chuffing me, I only, rubbed tbe harder. "I know the doctors think they know It all, but they don't, and if you will let tbat eye alone and work on tbe other one you will soon have the cinder out," shouted the engineer. I did as he directed and soon felt the cinder down near tbe Inner can- thus and made ready to take it out "Let it alone aud keep at tbe well eye," again shouted tbe engineer. I did so for a. minute tonger, and then;' looking- Into a small glass the engineer banded me, I saw tbe offender on my cheek. I bave tried It many times since, always with success.—OluV cago Record-Herald. HE won •Trifc7.Uhuwrt. Tho Ancient Story of the "Bloody Hand of Ulster."

He had two huhk. who were devoted to each other and who nt the time of tbelr father's death were ou the isle of Aarou, Scotland, lu those days the eldest son did not a I way« succeed the father on the throne.

Local option, in the form provided for by the Canada Temperance Act, last wee^ went down to defeat in Prince Rupert and Chilliwack. At Chilliwack the returns against prohibition were 132 to 107 upon a total poll of 246, seven papers being spoiled. At Prince Rupert the temperance reform went down before a vote of 272 to 169. At the northern city the vote, was small, on account of the old Dominion voters' list being used. Several prominent advocates of the temperance cause have expressed surprise j^jhe results of the polls, inasmuch as the places at which the voting occurred were considered, after months of careful preparation on the part of the Local Option League, to be the most suitable areas in which the new act might be tried. In order that a poll under the Canada Temperance Act may be taken, it is necessary, according to that law that a petition, signed by at least twenty-five per cent, of the voters upon the lists of the city or district intcrested.be forwarded to the Dominion government, Vhich then orders that the poH be taken. A straight majority is all that is required for the adoption ,or rejection of the measure. If the poll is in favor of the act ninety days are given to the liquor interests affected in which to dispose of their wares and close up shop. Should the result of the ballot be unfavorable to its adoption a poll can not be again taken before three years have elapsed. Where History Began.

A certain philosopher was in tbe bablt of saying whenever he beard tbat an old friend bad passed away: "Ah, well, death comes to us all: It ia no new tblug. It Is what we must expect. Pass ine the butter, my dear. Yes, death cornea to all, and my friend's time bad come." Now. Death overheard these philosophical remarks at different times, and one day he showed himself to the philosopher. . "1 am Death." said he simply. "Go away!" said the man In a panic. ••1 am not ready for yon." "Yes. but it is one of yonr favorite truisms that Death comes to all, and 1 am but proving your words.'" "(Jo nwny! You are dreadful!" "No more dreadful than I always am Rut why have you changed so? You have never feared tbe death that has come to your friends. I never heard yon sigh when I carried off your old companions.

The Explanation of the Automobile Driver and a Climax. After the victim of the accident was carried to the sidewalk the automobile driver turned bis machine and came back and explained how It happened witb considerable warmth. "This woman," he volubly remarked to the policeman, "was entirely to blame. She ran around from ahead of the street car and deliberately put herself lu my way. After she had dodged the coal cart It was too late for me to stop. 1 couldn't tell which way she was going, and when I saw that she wiih dazed and foolish I Jammed on the brakes and tried to pass to the left, but of course Bhe bad to run the same way, and the consequence was that In endeavoring to avoid a baby carriage wltb twins ln It and an old mail who was walking with a crutch l suppose 1 must have hit her. But I wasn't going more than two miles an hour, and any woman who would dodge around In that foolish way and lose her head shouldn't be permitted to go on the streets without a bunch of guardians." The policeman nodded. "Come over to tbe sidewalk," he said. "and take a look at her." So the driver went to the curb with the officer and looked at the unfortunate creature who had so actively contributed to her own disaster.

Over a century ago died Xavler Biehat, the famous physician and anatomist, author of "L'Anatomie Gen- erale." He probably dissected more human corpses than any other man ln the world's history. He established a record wben he opened 626 bodies during one winter. Of his nerve a tale Is told. When he lay ou his deathbed he called bis colleagues to him and said: "Dear friends. I am done, but what comforts me is the fact that my case Is a remarkable one. 1 have had unusual symptoms for some days which I have analyzed. They have greatly surprised me." Tbe doctors sought to reassure bim. He answered that be was under no Illusion with regard to himself. "1 shall die fairly satisfied with my life and go to the grave with only one regret, one great sorrow." "What Is tbat?" he was asked. "1 am distressed tbat after death 1 cannot dissect my own body. 1 could, i am certain, have made some beautiful scientific discoveries." Then he sank back, murmurlug: "1 must not think about it It won't bear thinking of.'*- WANTED! ■fOrf^ 2 Cents per word, first Insertion and 1 Cent per word each subsequent insertion, minimum 25 Cents.
