F, HAYE8 CRESTON, B.C, Oct. 28-Erlck- son lined up in favor of the new consolidated high schol at Creston by a vote of 16 to 7 at a well attended meeting of ratepayers tonight. The favorable decision indicates strong presentations of the arguments in favor of consolidation by the three speakers, James Cook, J, E. Van Ackeren and Alf Spencer, as previous to the meeting the opinion was general that Erickson was definitely against the move. This impression was also manifest at the trustees' conferences preceding the commencement of the ratepayers' meetings. At these conferences Erickson trustees had never favorably discussed the proposition. After tonight's splendid indorsation at Erickson, consolidation seemed assured by a vote of eight to one. The count is now six to one and meetings have only to be held at Alice Siding and Creston, both of which are expected to record a favorable vote.

"I ask the supporters of the government If that li their Idea of our position In a great war—dependent on tmoke screens." Mr. Lloyd George was compelled to leave the house after his speech due to a cold. Later in the session Walter Elliott, secretary for Scotland, described him as "the nearest thing to a dictator we have produced, in this country since the days of Oliver Cromwell."

C. F... MarcK in With Red Roses; Tom Uphill III; Medals Numerous as House Opens Session By B. A. McKELVIE VICTORIA—Pageantry and tradi tion inseparable from British parliamentary institutions always delight the honore-i guests and gallery occupants at the opening of British Columbia's legislature. There are local traditions that are becoming as much a part and parcel of the legislative ceremony as are those hoary institutions imported from the Mother ot Parliaments. One of these local customs is the appearance of the Pooley Primroses. Harry Pooley K.C. is no longer in the house. He finished 25 years of public service last session and retired to take his ease among his neighbors of Esquimau. Harry Pooley—one of the old school of Tories —followed the lead of his distinguished father and sported a primrose on "opening day". When Harry came lo the Legislature a quarter of a century ago he brought with him a great bouquet of the Conservative blooms, and handed out a buttonhole for each member of Premier McBride's following. Each, year thereafter he cultivated special blossoms for the annual event. As time went on the Pooley Primroses became as much a feature of the first day as was the speech from the throne. Last year when Harry Pooley relinquished the seat that he had held for so l"ng, and as "Father of the House" went into retirement, it was thought that the Primrose Trf dition had ended. ; Dr. F. P. Patterson and his seven Conservative colleagues wer« nervously awaiting the moment when they would signal the re-appearance of that party as a definite factor in Legislative affairs. "Pat" Maitland, the veteran parliamentarian of the group, was recalling how he first entered the chamber adorned with a Pooley Primrose. There was a knock at the door,-A small parcel was handed in, all moist and fragrant. "Mr. Pooley's compliments" said the bearer. It contained eight Primroses. The Pooley tradition remains. , , , • • » Away back In the brava days of bluff, Honest John Oliver, Hon. T. Dufferin Pattullo, wore a red rosa on opening day. Gradually other ministers adopted the custom, and even Honest John himself occasionally submitted to flaunting a crimson bud. At this opening day, however, the Liberal stalwarts marched proudly into the assembly chamber each adorned with a flaming rose. Hardly had they taken their seats, when in trooped the seven C.C.F. members, all wearing broad smiles—and red roses. • • • Premier Pattullo, through lonl years in publie life, has perfectee.

Barnes, speaking at the Pentecostal tabernacle, revealed to a large congregation some astonishing facts concerning Palestine and its resuscitation after a period of many generation. He declared that the fulfillment of prophecy, as stated in the Scriptures, with such amazing precision should set the whole world thinking, especially the agnostics and atheists. More than 2500 years ago Isaiah the phophet gave a graphic picture exactly of what is taking place today in Palestine. In chapter 61, verse 4. is read "And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generation. The evangelist explained that in the days of the Lord s earthly ministry, Palestine was by no means a land of desolation. The Romans were great builders. They built roads, aqueducts and citadels in Palestine and adorned many of their cities. However, a few years after the prediction of Christ, that the magnificient temple of Herod would bo razed to the ground and there not be left one stone upon another, flames were sweeping over the temple buildings, melting the gold in the structure until it ran down in the crevices of the stones. Thus the phophecy of the Lord was fulfilled. Following the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus in 70 A. D„ the era of building in Palestine ended and there began "the desolation of many generations" foretold by Isaiah, Since Great Britain was given lhe mandate over the land to make it "a national home for the Jews,'' a rapid and remarkable transformation has taken place. Jews were returning in steady streams to the land and buildings of magnificient types wore going up everywhere. New cities were being formed and the land of waste was now astounding the whole world with its beautiful orange groves, producing nearly ten million boxes of Jaffa oranges in 1936 with grapefruit and other lucious fruits in abundance. The speaker pointed out many marvellous fulfillments of prophecy, possibly one of the most outstanding being the statement made by Moses 3500 years ago that "Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethern, or let him dip his foot in oil." This prophecy was being fulfilled at the rate of about a million gallons daily. Prophecies concerning the Dead Sea becoming a mecca and the dry lands becoming "pools of water" were shown by Mr. Barnes to be now actual facts. GOITRE EXPERT IN B.C. MERRITT, B.

They swept the floor and were given the wide swaying silhouette by layers upon layers of stiffening sewn under the frills. However, the fashions that are creating most London conversations are those illustrated in the new government booklet "Recreation and Physical Fitness" which shows a short baglike dress as the most suitable costume for women doing "physical jerks", The Women's league of health and beauty are up in arms. "We've worn shorts ever since we started," one official said. "That was seven years ago, and we're not going to change now".

NORMAN SMITH Canadian Press 8taff Writer LONDON, Oct. 2B (CP) — One prevalent opinion on the state of the London stage was reflected in the statement in The Observer the other day by St. John Ervlne, the prominent author and playwright, that these were melancnoly times for the lover of the drama. "It seems to become harder and , harder for a dramatist to obtain performance for a play of mora substantial quality than a macaroon," wrote Mr. Ervme in his weekly column. Yet a sufficient number of people think pretty highly of London's stage this fall, enough to pack the theatres so that it is something of a problem to find a house for a new K o look no further than the same Finest Quality Always If SALADA TEA copy of The Observer one could find, for instance, the views of Hubert Griffith, the newspaper's theatre correspondent: "The autumn season has started strongly and steadily and there are now a number of good plays that people are keenly anxious to see." Mr. Griffith listed the successful plays no showing, plays old and new but each with a good future: "French Without Tears", "George and Margaret", "Victoria Regina", "Old Music" "Time and the Con- ways", "Bonnet Over the Windmill". and more. Yet the regrets of so established a critic and writer as St. John Er- vine perhaps warrant attention in the face of box office hilarity. "Why is it," he asked, "that in a time when so many fine novels are being published so few plays to match them are being produced?" "Gone With the Wind", by Margaret Mitchell: "And So Victoria", by Vaughan Wilkins; "Act ot God", by Fryn Tennyson Jesse; and "They Seek a Country", by Francis Brett Young —these four books had been published this year. "But has tlie playgoer any hope of finding four new plays equal in quality to these novels staged in uie West End in one year? "The disparity is not due to the limitations which the stage imposes upon the dramatist.

Sean O'Casey tells us more about Ireland in 'Juno and the Paycock' than is told by all the contemporary Irish novelists put together. An author does not need space; he needs imagination." Nor is me rault all in the public's taste, for, as Mr. St. John Ervlne contends "if the public is willing io read a novel in which the author makes a serious effort to interpret life, we may suppose that it will, if it is well enough trained, be willing to witness a play in Which the dramatist attempts the same task." PRODUCTION COST FACTOR "The supreme cause of the disparity between the novel and the play is the cost of production. . . . A manager will not attempt to change the taste of the public because he runs the risk of ruin if his attempt is not immediately successful. Twenty novels can be published for the cost of a single play, and.the publisher can hope to make his expenses and probably a profit on the whole 20, but the theatre manager cannot be certain of recovering what he has spent on the play. "There's money in laughter; so the theatre manager produces lighter and lighter comedies. As his plays become Increasingly trivial, Intelligent people increasingly abstain from going to see them, until at last we reach a point at which the manager finds ne has ruined himself by giving the public what he thinks it wants. His house is frequented only by the boneheads and numbskulls who must always be tittering; and giggling, and he dare not drive them out by producing better work. "The circumstances of lhe theatre are sucli that the cost of producing a play must always be greater than the cost of publishing a book, but until we have reduced the cost of play production enormously we cannot hope to make the theatre the entertainment of the community; it must continue to be the luxury Nasturtiums for Indoor Bloom New nasturtiums In no tlmo ATTEMPTING to pot nasturtiums for flowering Indoors often leads to disappointment. A better way is to take slips of the plants before they are damaged by frost and plant them for rooting purposes ,as shown in this Garden- Graph, and you can have nasturtiums blooming indoors this winter. Root the slips in moist sand or in a sand and peat mixture. Use the tips ofyoung shoots. They should be three to four inches long. Tlie slips will ropt in from four fo five days. Afterwards they can be pott- ted in a soil mixture that is not too rich. If too rich a soil mixture is used, a leafy plant with few flowers will result. When taking slips remove any buds, since they will use up the energy which .should go to root growth. Do not place the cuttings in water before planting, for this will interfere with the callus which forms over the cut section. Do not place the slips in the sun until after root growth starts. Too much emphasis can hardly be placed upon the necessity for watering all evergreens, both broad- leaved and coniferous, during each spell ot dry, warm weather until the ground freezes. Some of the hardy annuals, such as snapdragons, verbenas, candytuft, pinks, stocks, darkles and phlox may be sown just before freezing weather in fine soil, to provide extra early bloom next year. of the trivial-minded and the resort ot all boneheads." Which from St. John Ervlne is a castigation not flavored with sour grapes for he is the author of "Anthony and Anna", a comedy that in its 800th production this month is enjoying the longest run in London.

Follow Oil Treatment With Careful Shampoo lor Fluffy Blonde Tresses By GLADYS GLAD NO BLONDE who has any sense could want to possess hair that is dry, brittle and like so much straw to the touch. Yet frequent shampoos have a tendency to put hair in just such a condition. They aro apt to remove too much of the natural oil from the hair. If you have light hair, and feel that to keep It in presentable condition you must shampoo it frequently, by all means Intersperse an oil treatment or two among your regular shampoos. For such treatments help to counteract the drying effects of frequent soap and water applications. The method of administering such oil treatments is very simple, and if you want a thick, luxuriant head of hair, by all means use them. They'll do your hair no end of good! If you do go in tor healthful hot oil treatments, however, do not follow the treatments by a haphazard shampoo. For il you do, I m pretty certain that you'll be writing In and complaining that you find it diffi cult to remove all the oil from your hair, and there is nothing more apt to detract from one's loveliness than hair that is sticky and oily. HOW TO GIVE SHAMPOO Just to be sure that you obtain the most satisfactory results at the first trial, I'm going to tell you Just how to shampoo your hair after such a beneficial oil treat- ment. In the first place, don't wet your hair with hot water before doing the shampooing. Apply a good, liquid shampoo to your hair first, and raise a rich lather with your fingertips. Then rinse your hair with lukewarm water, repeat the lathering and rinsing, and continue this procedure until all the oil has been removed. And as the final step, use a lemon rinse or a rinse composed of a pint of warm water and two teaspoons of baking soda, in order to remove any least vestige of the oil and to make your hair soft, silky and fluffy.

CZECHS MENACED Every once in a while a new illustration is provided by the Fascist powers for the fable of the wolf and the lamb. The most recent example is the attack in the Nazi press on Czechoslovakia. The German newspapers suggest that Czechoslovakia., statesmen are toying with the idea of a war with Germany. For Czechoslovakia to attack Germany would be even less likely than for the lamb to assault the wolf. Even with Russian backing the Czechs know perfectly well that they would have great difficulty defending their own land and that their chances of conquering Germany are negligible. The truth of the matter is that Czechoslovakia has great resources which Hitler covets. The huge Skoda armament plant, second only to Krupps among European munition makers, is in Czechoslovakia. So are the great Bata boot factories which might be used to equip troops. The German press is completely under the. direction of the government. When it launches a campaign against a neighboring land on such trivial grounds as the breaking of a pro-Nazi meeting by Czech police, there must be some ulterior motive. It is quite possible that the German people are being prepared for intervention in Czechoslovakia, nominally on behalf of the oppressed German minority, really in order to acquire the resources of the neighboring land. An attempt has already been made to detach all Czechoslovakia's allies and to make other nations believe that that country is merely an outpost of Bolshevism. There is no real justification for this view in the opinion of competent outside observers. The Czechs have done everything in their power to conciliate Germany. Recently an art exhibition was cancelled because some of the caricatures reflected on Nazi leaders. But the Czech press is almost fed up with the German campaign. One newspaper warns Germany that the Czechs cannot be brought to love the Germans by these methods. Czechoslovakia is a rampart of democracy in Central Europe. It would be a tragedy if she were to become another Spain or China as the result of Nazi-ambition. Enlist the interests of stern morality and religious enthusiasm in the cause of political liberty, as in the time of the old Puritans, and it will be irresistible.—Coleridge. TREBITSCH-UNCOLN AGAIN Ignatius Timothy Trebitsch-Lincoln turns up again. He is a Buddhist abbot at Tientsin, an associate and friend of the puppet Emperor of Manchoukuo, and an ardent advocate of the Japanese cause. There is no more extraordinary character in history than Trebitsch-Lincoln. No Oppenheim novel ever conceived a more amazing international scalawag than this human chameleon. He was born in Hungary and drifted to England where he became a Presbyterian missionary in a London slum. Then he became a high church curate and finally in 1910 was elected to the British house of commons. When war broke out this apparently-ardent patriot succeeded in becoming a censor in the war office. However, the British authorities became suspicious of his activities and before he was arrested he fled to the United States to spread German propaganda and boast of his achievements as a spy. When the United States entered the war he was arrested and in 1919 returned to England where he was convicted of forgery. After a three-year term he was deported. He went to Germany but backed the wrong movement and the next he was heard of was in Asia. Several years ago he traveled through Canada on the way to England as a Buddhist monk. There was a question as to whether to arrest him or not, but he was unmolested. Now apparently he is high up in the Buddhist faith, an abbot, a friend of the Emperor of Manchoukuo. He is wearing the Japanese coat. However, if Japan should lose out he could just as rapidly become a Chinese Confucianist or a Russian atheist. ;> ' ^'9*'J&«irW*^»r^.•»#»£,$ NELSON DAILY NEWS.

Mountford Urges Boycott Japanese Goods, Hits Fascism To the Editor: Sir—When anyone gels an idea that they would like to sec in print, they generally say, put it in the ''Nelson News". Feeling that way at the present time I think, no doubt, that your readers would be interested to hear of the awakening of the Canadian people to the realization of the economic force for peace that a boycott has on the goods of a fascist aggressor. I speak of the growing boycott on Japanese goods, We have many public societies in Canada whicli favor this boycott, such as: Trades and Labor congress, The Canadian Teacher's federation The Council for Social Service, Church of England, The National Council of Women, The A.F. of L. the C.I.O., the CP. of Canada, The Alberta legislature, United Farmers of Canada. Other public bodies are swinging] into line to boycott Japanese goods, j Jaoan is financing its intolerable I attack on China with its foreign exports. With the proceeds of these exports whicli amount ed to $1,- 50(1,000,000 last year, it buys war ma- lerial to blast the lives of innocent Chinese people. During the duration of attack on China, all goods stamped "Made in Japan" are stained with innocent blood. Don't help fascist aggression by buying their goods. Unless fascist aggression is curbed now, it means that Canada will be involved in war later on, Buy no silk from Japan, better the women to go without silk stocking now, then their husbands and sons later on. Already some teachers are telling their pupils not to buy Japanese toys. Public conscience is .stirring, branding the exporters of war material as criminals, who draw their bloody profits frnm tlie dead bodie; of Chinese mon, women and children, In this noble enterprise large numbers of Canadian people arc now actively engaged: let us swell their ranks. This is a part of th;. great crusade for ncace in which By ]. B.C. SOME PARTY A man and his wife were driving back into town after an evening at a roadhouse. Suddenly the wife spoke up: "What're you doing? Watch out for those cars. You're too close!" "Are you nuts?" asked the husband. "Nuts? Hoddya get that way?" "Well," said the husband, "you're drivin'." • • t "JUCKPULVER" AND "COWITCH" Australians are often amused at their quaint censorship, which rigorously bans innocuous books, films and plays from entering tbe country. Recently many of them chuckled over the post office's list of prohibitions: Balkan or suffragette bombs. Dublin Stout Extract. Electric snuff. Juckpulvers. Stypefying gas. Disinfecting pistols. Rubber-covered wire. Exhausted tea. Bludgeons. Sandbags. Knuckledusters. Walking sticks containing bayonets. Maxim silencers for firearms. Explosive cigars. Cowhage or cowitch. Neither will the Australian post office deliver parcels containing grebes, owls, macaws, or parrots of the genus Sittace. Diligent research failed to reveal what is a "juckpulver", although one magazine humorously suggested it was "another name for that fearsome compound electric snuff". "Optanin" 'and "oxygenopathy" also defied the Commonwealth's best-qualified medical men. "Cowhage" transpired to be the hairs on the pods of a tronical climbing plant of the bean family. Brightly commented Smith's Weekly: "Thank heavens we haven't been juckpulverised yet, nor like those other, darker lands, ex- Eosed to the hideous menace of >ublin stout extrat, Suffragette bombs, and unrouged Lucerne linseed." • • • 'ROUND TOWN Here and there—Nelson skating rink devoid of floor with nice clean sand showing over the piping—and the walls of the ice sheet boasting a new coat of paint—Won't be long before the boys will be darting here and there af,ter the elusive puck—and up town on a street corner were Pat Aitken, coach of the Nelson Lea/s, Tom Wilson and Bob Crerar of the executive—and they were talking hockey—I never met a more enthusiastic trio—so if their predictions are right we will have a hockey team—Dave Webster high upon a scaffold getting the windows of the Nelson library in shape—for installation of storm windows—Bob Clerihew down from Kimberley— he says he's been fishing again— Dr. L.

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING R*OOTS OF A TREE The roots of ono tree will never touch those of another underground, This fact was established by Professor M. A. Raines, of Howard university, who for years has investigated the matter. Further, he finds that in tree and plants of the same species, the roots of the younger invariably bend slightly so as to allow the roots of an older plant to pass. Most plants and trees are sensitive, and Professor Raines thinks that the roots give off some elusive compound — probably electric —' which repels. He has trained roots to meet each other, but when nearly touching, they invariably turn aside. —Montreal Star.

The old shooting butts where as kids we lay in the hot sun after an hour in the muddy water of that old hole are still there, but they're breaking down and you'd never know them for what they were. The old cattle trails dewn the hillside are almost undistinguishable, and a long fence keeps cattle off the flat. The old target house is gone, and even its location is hard to determine. The concrete of the old target stands remains, but the lifts have disappeared; and of the butts only the 1000-yard one, high on a bank, retains a vestige of its former timbering. The rifle range isn't that any more—it's "Cottonwood City", formerly a cattle range, but now a picturesque setting for 45 or 46 homes. A depression mushroom, "Cottonwood City" might be called "squatters' valley", for that's what it is. At the same time it is a tribute to folk driven by depression who have tried and to a surprising degree have succeeded in establishig themselves as home-makers. It's all in the viewpoint. At the present time the federal government apparently is taking the view ! that the residents of "Cottonwood City" are squatters, and a i report has gone in outlining the situation. The rifle range, for ! years the charge of the department of national defence, is now j in the hands of the department of mines and national resources and orders to the government's uninvited guests to move along are anticipated. PRIMAL URGE TO BUILD A HOME Be that as it may, "Cottonwood City" today is a splendid study of human interest and of the primal urge of man to establish himself on the land, to make himself a home. It is a study in self-help. 'Way up by the old target pits lives one fellow with a definite sense of humor, probably inspired by Nelson's recent street naming and house numbering campaign. His home is a log shack, the cracks filled with"' clay, and over the front dcor hangs this sign: Photos by Staff Photographer* 9—A home of which anyone might be proud. 10—An old timer and his simple home. 11—Shade trees are important too. 12—Homes in a woodland glade. 13—A home developing on new ground. 14—Thick logs will keep kiddies warm. 15—A lot of work in building with logs. "This town has gone modern The hostess used to ask you how many lump- and ^ow she asks you how many fingers." "606 COTTONWOOD BULLY VARD" A fellows interest, if he walks through "Cottonwood City", is torn in half a dozen directions. Here's a home that plainly shows a woman's hand in the curtains and a line ot wind. Over there is a cottage set among flowers, a bloom- scented rockery at the foot of the garden leading down to a pool with a grass-covered island in its centre. A little further along is a new swimming- hole for tho youngsters, but the same muddy bottom as the familiar pond of 15 or 20 years ago. AXE-SQUARED LOGS Here's a cottage hewn out of the white washing billowing in the'bush, logs squared with an axe and interlocked at the corners. Along-* side it is another eottage built of the completely round cores of veneer logs, the marks of the lathe spur still showing at the end. Up on the bank is a shelter that's a bit ramshackle, roofed with thick squares of moss, and on another bank is a log-built home with sacks stuffed in the eaves against the weather. As to exterior finish of these homes: you can take your choice of hewn logs, round logs, split logs, cedar shakes, shingles, clay stucco, clay and whitewash, rough boards tar paper and so on and on. Unintentionally rustic are some of the homes and deliberately rustic are others. Shelters only are some of them, real homes are others. Nearly ell of them have a bit of garden and a root house. You see, those people were sent to "Cottonwood City" by the depression, and they know what a root house full of vegetables can mean in the winter, when a fellow can't just go to a store and get his food over the counter. THEY'RE NEIGHBORS "Cottonwood City" is complete even to philosophy. A number of its residents are old timers on relief, living on a scant allowance, and they have lots of lime to talk They settle affairs of state daily, and if you should overhear a couple of old fogies talking, the debate will probably be between the government and the working man. You'll probably hear "It's not the government I blame so much as the working rn^n himself"—and you'll probably feel that they are your own neighbors. Mostly those "Cottonwood City' houses are homes, and many of them are being improved with additions and new outbuildings. You'll see lhat, despite hard limes and trees at ihei" doors available for f :rewood. I they've saved the big and little trees- lhat make shade and rust'c beauty. They've made homes, not shelters alone. Of course, the garbage collection service is rather lacking in its completeness of coverage, and in this day of can openers you may be appalled by the odd pile of tin cans and garbage. And the sanitary arrangements — they're essenlLlly primitive. If mayhap you should complain that the sanitation at one end of "Cottonwood City" is not exactly the best for the other end of the "city", since Cottonwood creek runs its course from one end of the valley to the other and serves as the "city's" water main, it's admitted that running water cleans itself in a hundred feet or V. Questions V. ANSWERS This column of questions and answers is open to any reader of the Nelson Daily News, ln no case will '.he name of the person asking the question be published. F.E.E., Nelson — When dessert i_ served in a dessert dish set on a plate, should a person when finished place the spoon in tho dessert dish or on the plate beneath it? Usually on the plate, but the relative sizes of the plate and dish must be considered. D.W., Castlegar—Could you tell me how to make clay pottery?

OCT. 29, 1937. Coat Is Short, Swagger Dealers Surprised as Had Been Advised Expect Advances NO CHANGES IN MEAT AND EGGS Making their, first move In nearly three weeks, feed prices advanced on the wholesale market Wednesday, bran, middlings and shorts each being up jl a ton. Flour was. un-. changed. Previous to this advance dealers had the quietest period, with respect to prices, in months. Previously they were barely *ble at times, and completely unable at others, to keep their price list- in order for more than a day or so at a time. Wholesale grocers expressed surprise Wednesday in the price levels of canned goods. Markets were described as "'very, steady" with quotations in many cases almost the same as a year ago, despite earlier advices from canners that materials and labor were up and that higher prices could be expected. New tomato products, at a level close to a year ago, are considerably lower than a few months ago, when shortages forced prices sharply up. Some sizes of tomato juice are already out of canners' stocks. Some canners are already short of gallon goods, but these are ln wholesalers' stocks and the situation is normal. Limited quantities of gallon packs are put up each year and are moved out early. Sugar and milk quotations are also "about the same". NUT8 TO GO UP Sultana nuts are expected to advance, but dealers state prices here will not be changed until new supplies are bought, at the higher prices. The sharp shortage of peanuts in the district eased'somewh''' this week with the arrvr.1 of a c.r- load from the Orient, contra-ted for some mpnths ago. To meet the demand the firm which received the nuts has its Toaster In operation almost night and day. Norwegian sardines ar* scheduled to advance, it is reported. Canned shrimps are up considerably. New crop dates are expected to arrive in a fewdays, and California fresh dates are already on the mar ket, iwth a second shipment expected shortly. Australian grapefruit are on the market locally for the first time, having arrived along with a quantity oi Australian oranges now taking the place of the California product, which is at the end of its season. Fresh artichokes, fresh olives and hothouse tomatoes are also on the market. The potato movement is extremely slow. For the second successive week no changes were reported in meat, butter and egg prices. Fresh eggs remain extremely scarce. CHEE8E WEEK National cheese week will be celebrated October 29 to November 6. Carlot receipts of the week included three cars of groceries; two of flour and feed, one of flour, two of corn, three cars of hay—two of timothy from the Okanagan and one of Grand Forks alfalfa—one car of peanuts, one of Australian oranges, one of tomatoes and other canned vegetables, on* of salt, one of sugar and two of meats. Among arrivals anticipated are a car of bananas and a car of confections. A car of Jam was shipped Wednesday to Swift Current, sask.

There are short furs and long furs, trimly fitted coats, boxy lines and short, bunchy models. The coat pictured was taken at the Thistledown race track in Cleveland, where there was a parade of models just as if it was dear old Paris. This model shows the new short, swag- jer mink coat, which gives the ef- !ect almost of a tubular silhouette. Notice the new saddle shoulder line and the petal collar. Some of the new coats are en- By LISBETH tlrely collarless, some with small collars—much smaller than in previous years. This is a youthful trend and I am wondering how the older women will react. For them the larger collar is definitely more flattering. GIB80N 8TYLE COPIED The Gibson girl of the Gay Nineties is influencing the fashioning of furs this season, according to some designers. Black is the most important color in fur coats, in Russian caraculs and Persian lamb. A full- length coat of black caracul trimmed in Persian lamb, being a model which illustrates the trend. For the college wardrobe, brown caracul in boxy swaggers are the latest. Cord fastenings at the turnover collar are youthful and chic. An interesting model for the college girl I saw was in white lamb. It was flared, with the effect of a yoke, and is suitable both for daytime or evening wear—killing two birds with one stone, as it were. Doukhobor Offender Less to Blame Than Counsellors Asserts Haskins ASK YOUR CKOCIR FOR GOLD MEDAL MALT EXTRACT DARK, LIGHT, STOUTEX AND HOP FLAVOR Highest Quality—The Best for Your Money B.C. Distributors: JAMES MARTIN A CO., VANCOUVER, B.C. Advisors Told Him' He Needn't Obey the Law Called to this district by the discovery that some carloads of apples of Doukhobor production were being shipped out without the producer having complied with the Natural Products Marketing act by obtaining a licence, W. E. Haskins of Kelowna, chairman of the interior tree fruit board, after investigation ot the matter, concluded that the Doukhobor concerned was less to blame than some of his counsellors, and adjusted the matter without applying a penalty. "I do not blame the Doukhobors so much," commented Mr. Haskins in discussing the case, "for they have been Incited to disregard the provincial act by what they have heard from other people. "First, they hear many people, including even government officials advancing the theory that a man may do what he likes with his own product. Now, this is a pretty the- SAY,WHAT'S HAPPENED HERE? THIS TASTES SWELL - ory, but a theory only. For example, how many agricultural products are there that are not subject to grading regulations by the Dominion government? For many, many years the Dominion government has been prescribing the exact way a producer must grade, pack, and mark his product before offering it for sale. Right at the start, these advisors are on wrong ground. DESTINATION NOT'A FACTOR "Next, the Doukhobor producers have the belief that if their products are to enter Into interprovincial trade, that is, are going to be exported to another province, they cannot be regulated by a provincial law. This view has been held by a large percentage of the lawyers until this last judgment of the British Columbia court of appeals, but now they must revise their opinions— unless they wait for a privy council judgment. "The regulation that this producer broke was the one providing that no one can pack, store or transport tree fruits within the province without having first acquired a licence from the board to do so. Under this provision it is a matter of indifference where the fruit is going, whether to the local market here, or across the provincial' border. It is the packing, storing and transporting that is being regulated, and this regulating is, according to the court of appeals, within the competence of the province. "Not wishing to give "the shipper in question any chance to feel persecuted when ne was acting apparently in good faith, I have adjusted the matter on the basis of payment of the proper fees for the cars that have gone forward, and issuance of a licence; but this should be warning to all concerned that compliance with the regulations is going to be required." New Denver Girl, ect of Search, Sups With Friend NEW DENVER, B.C.-Some of the New Denver citizens were aroused to action Monday evening when it was reported Alice Powell, 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Powell was lost.

Air Hostess Has Colorful Career Irene Martinez, air hostess, hasn't had her job very long, but she is one of those persons to whom things happens. Irene speaks Spanish, as is required of the hostesses ot her line who run on what is know as its "Great Lakes to Gulf route", out of Brownsville, Tex. Thus when a dashing Mexican captain was a passenger and knew so little English that he could only order ham and eggs — which he detested — Irene was able to help him out and teach him enough of the language so that he could vary his menu. On his return to his native Mexico, the captain sent orchids to Irene. By her tact and knowledge of a foreign tongue, Miss Martinez was also able to avert an International misunderstanding when prominent visitors from a foreign land failed to understand the itinerary planned for them and were highly incensed thereby. Taking command of a tense situation Miss Martinez was able to restore peace and tranquility, to the relief and gratitude of the consul from the visitors' land. So far Miss Irene has received three proposals of marriage, two from plain business men, and another from a New York newspaperman who "left his heart in Texas". She is still on the job, however. 'Smile Queen' Plans lo Teach By LILIAN CAMPBELL Miss Dorothy Fitzgerald, Kent State college graduate, Kent, Ohio, recently was appointed new secretarial science teacher in the Fenn school of commerce, Cleveland, 0. It is prophesied that the course is destined to be very popular at Fenn, for Miss Fitzgerald was Smile Queen, May Queen, most popular girl on the campus, and holder of almost all the honors, social and scholastic, that may be bestowed on a co-ed. Fenn is predominantly a male college. She is the first appolnte* to the. Fenn faculty direct from college. The secretarial science department being operated at Fenn this year will be a two-year option in the five-year management course offered by the business administration school.

About a year ago, when my youngest son was in junior high school, he reported at lunch one day the discussion conducted in his home room and assembly programs concerning good citizenship during Hallowe'en. This delighted me. It indicated that this school was attempting to lead its students to think of right conduct in their respective neighborhoods—that the school generally has sadly neglected thanks to those philosophers of education who have said you teach citizenship only through situations right at school. It seems to me that the finest thing the school could do would be to put strong emphasis on right conduct away from school. Scores of of students who are good citizens at school are pesis in their respective CROWING DEAF WITH HEAD NOISES? TRY THIS If you are growing hard of hearing and fear Catarrhal Deafness or if you have roaring, rumbling, hissing noises in your ears go lo your drug- is. and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength), and add to it Vi pint of hot water and a little granulated jugar. Take 1 tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breathing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleasant to take. Anyone who is threatened with Catarrhal Deafness or who has head noises should give this prescription a trial. (Advt.)

That was before she took Harris' Wondro. Head in her grateful letter to Mr. Harris how she found relief and felt better in every way. "Dear Sir:—I suffered for several years with neuritis, in fact so much that I could not raise my arms. I tried many different treatments but nothing helped me and I got in a very run-down condition. I began taking Harris' Wondro about a year ago and after taking six bottles' I was completely recovered. It not only rid me of the neuritis but 1 feel better in every way. I had no return of Neuritis whatever for which I am very thankful. It gives me great pleasure to recommend Harris' Wondro to other sufferers. —Yours truly. Mrs. M. M.

Anyway there probably is only one opportunity to do wrong at school to a hundred opportunities to do wrong outside of school. Powerful character builders are those teachers who lead their pupile to do right in their presence to want to do right away from them. The same applies to parents. 8CHOOL HAMPERED The school has been hampered in its influence on conduct and character through the delusion that character building rests primarily on effective student organizations and activities at school. These are making a contribution to be sure; but not so much as most school leaders suppose. Often they Have helped the school administrators to feel satisfied with this work at training in citizenship. Added to this delusion is the one, all too prevalent, that ideals cannot be taught, Fortunately some school administrators and teachers are ridding themselves of this delusion and are setting out to lead their pupils to think about and talk about all sorts of situations at home and outside of school where they must constantly make moral choices, and are constantly tempted to do what they know is not right. Encouraging signs there are in the development of guidance programs in which children from the kindergarten upward are led to think and talk and write about their experiences outside of school, of how they might respect their parents, be a better brother or sister, better playmate; of how they might learn to shoulder some of the home responsibilities and make their homes happier; of how they might respect the property rights and other rights of the neighborhood—learning to want to be better citizens 'out of school. Causes . . . The Doctor Tells the Latest Ideas on Common Colds By l-OGAN CLENDENING, M. D. The cold virus—if a virus is the cause of the common cold—enters the body through the lining of the no.se. Why it enters at any particular time is a mystery, but according to the theory of Dr. Lloyd Arnold, it occurs when the lining has been chilled enough to cause an anemic condition. This theory makes sense, inasmuch as it accounts both for the infection and the influence which temperature has on the origin of the common cold. Certain people are sensitive to cold; some people are resistant. In cold-resistant patients, nose temperature returns to normal in ten minutes. In susceptible persons it requires from 30 minutes to two hours for the lining of the nose to return to normal temperature. The treatment of chronic recur rent colds, as recommended by Dr. Arnold, is a warm morning bath, fol lowed by a cold one, one hour's walk in the open air regardless of wea thor, and a low carbohydrate diet- all designed to change the heat sensitive person to heat-resistant or normal. DUE TO NASAL INFECTION The common form of a chronic cold, however, is probably, due to chronic infection of the nasal sinuses. In the course of time this produces a chronic bronchitis from pus dropping into the bronchial tree from the nose. These patients are very sensitive to change in temperature and drafts, and any draft produces a flare-up of their acute infection with all the symptoms of a cold. They .say on these occasions that they have "caught cold". As a matter of fact, they have simply lighted up an old chronic infec- NEL80N DAILY NEWS.

Boy Says He Loves Girl but He Fails lo Take Her Places By VIRGINIA LEE "Dear Virgina Lee: How would you like to be a girl who has a lover who claims he loveS her and holds her in his thoughts, but never takes her anywhere? "True, he planned to see me last summer and his plans failed because it was so illusive to me, but he knows where to find me if he really cares to. He knew then. "Now, do you think it would be very improper, Virginia Lee, if I just suggest, now that fhe autumn is so invigorating and the leaves are changing so, a trip up north would be so grand; a steak cooked out in the open would be appetizing. And let that be only half of it, or a smaller part of it. His company would be so comforting and inspiring. "He has taken much fun from me and I hardly feel equal to what I would like, but really the way he has played me it is time it is settled. I wish he would ask me, but he never does. What shall I do? "PLAIN WEARY." Well, that is a somewhat ambiguous letter Weary. It looks very much to me that the young man says nice things to you just because he knows you'll swallow them and be flattered, but he doesn't mean them. I agree it is high time to call his bluff. Make the suggestion of the trip to the autumn woods with the steak, etc., and see if he accepts. If he doesn't I certainly wouldn't waste any more time with him. You will know he is just one of those guys with a line, and devote yourself to more worthy members of the strong sex. * * * Oh, oh, I expected this: "Dear Virginia Lee: I have just read Lonely Country. Blue Eyes' letter and I thought I would sit right down and write to you. "I can't find a fellow who is decent and good looking. They are conceited and have Bad dispositions, or are fast, etc. Are there any that can take a girl out for a good time? By that I mean take in a show or a dance, and treat her decent? "Do all the fellows nowadays drink, smoke and act fast? I don't care whether the fellow has a car or money as long as he is decent and respectable. I'd like to find a fellow who likes to spend an evening at home listening to the radio and making" candy instead of always wanting to go somewhere. "WAITING FOR A GOOD MAN. Too bad you and the boy who wrote can't get together. I'd be will ing to bet anything, though, that you wouldn't suit each other.

Cure of the nasal infection will, in most instances, relieve their troubles. These chronic nose and chronic bronchitis people are very numerous They deserve our sympathy, although they do not always get it, We are inclined to believe that they are fuss-budgets and cranks about drafts and weather changes. They are not even recognized as a distinct disease entity by the medical profession. Doctors also are in clined to minimize their troubles and make fun of them. Still another form of chronic colds occur in those people who have respiratory allergy. Some are sensitive to plant pollens, but these have a seasonal type of respiratory allergy. Those who are sensitive lo foods and animal dander, an the ones who are likely to have re current attacks of what are often diagnosed as colds all the year round. Treatment here consists in recognizing the condition, discovering what animal or food is responsible for it, and protecting the patient from contact. Serial Story . . .

The walcr in the wake of the spout attained a level of nearly 10 feet and severed highway communica- tiAs between Damascus and Bag- hadad On the Sunday that Tim Kennedy had fixed for poisoning his wife, and on the morning of which he had made all his preparations except those for the ultimate act, Dr. Harold Arkwright came to The Wilderness to tea. Normally the Kennedys were regarded as being "at home" on Sunday afternoons, though since Esther's accident the tradition by which their friends were encouraged to drop in without invitation had lapsed somewhat. Tim had hoped to keep this particular afternoon free of visitors, as he did not want to give Esther a chance of revealing a state of mind inconsistent with reckless despair on the same evening. He was annoyed to find Harold, the last person he wished to see, turning up for tea, but he was not at first seriously put out. So long as there was only one visitor, he felt capable of keeping Esther under observation, noting her demeanor, and perhaps to a certain extent controlling it. But it happened that Esther was in the worst possible mood for his purpose. It was not an extravagant gaiety, which might have been psychologically plausible as reaction after a desperate decision had been irrevocably made. It was something more disconcerting, a calmness and serene hopefulness such as she had not shown for many months. One might have supposed that her subconscious mind had divined his objective, had grasped the role she was expected to play, and was determined not to play it. In one-half hour over the teacups she so undermined the defenses Tim had laid down that his purpose began to waver. She spoke of the coming Mediterranean holiday with an eager anticipation (which, he reflected bitterly, he himself had helped to induce) and a detailed reference to the itinerary and the opportunities for sight-seeing it afforded that were difficult to reconcile with an intention to commit suicide within a few hours. It was true that such strange contradictions were not unknown. Tim had read of many cases where people .apparently in the best of spirits and full of their plans for the future, had died by their own hands almost immediately after' wards. But the thing was a paradox, however often it happened in bona fide cases, and the tendency was to create doubt. ... It was however, with the aim of insinu. ating this idea in such a way that tlie outcome would appear credible that Tim took Dr. Arkwright away for a walk round the garden when tea was over. After they had talked of trivialities for a few minutes, he said abruptly: "Esther's In great spirits this afternoon." "She is indeed," Arwright agreed. "It looks as if you've got her really interested in this cruise." "I know. . . . That's what de lights me so much. Do you know that up to this afternoon I haven't been able to get her to work up the slightest enthusiasm. I've shown her the steamship company's folders. I've taken her over the route on the map, given her stuff to read about the different places. And until today she hasn't shown a spark of interest. It was as if she was just humoring me and didn't really mean to go. ... I can't understand what's made her change about so suddenly, but it's a safe bet I'm not complaining." Dr. Arkwright nodded. "Perhaps she's really taking lurn for the better. These things do go in leaps; it's hardly ever gradual upper curve. . . ." Tim left it at that; he was not going to push his suggestion more explicitly. He began to talk about his roses; and it was only by degrees that he realized that Ark' wright was unusually silent and unresponsive. Presently the older man interrupted him. "By the way, Tim," he said. "I'm glad to have a chance of a word with you. I really came over today with that in mind." Tim looked at him quickly. "Oh, yes? . . . What was it you wanted to say?" "It's an idea that occurred to me, only last night. ... It may be fantastic, and you'll have to forgive me if I've got hold of the wrong end of the stick. . . . But I think I ought to mention it, just to reassure you, in case there'f anything in it." "Come on, Harold. This isn't like you." "Well—we've had one or two talks about Esther lately, and you've taken a rather dismal view. What I want you to tell mo is this —was there anything particular at the back of you mind?" The question came so near home that Tim almost lost countenance. "At the back of my mind?" he repeated slowly. "Anything par ticular . . . upon my word, Har. old, I haven't an idea what you are driving at." "I see I must be more explicit . . . It's just this — looking back on what you've said, the hints you've given about her state of mind, a suggestion that you were seriously alarmed, your uneasiness when I prescribed medinal — it's only now come to me what you might really mean. Tell me, Tim do you or have you ever entertained the idea that Esther might try to do away with herself?" For Tim the question could not have timed for a less propitious moment. To create an atmosphere, lo lodge the germ of an idea— that was one thing. But to get down to cases, and that at the very eleventh hour, was the very last thing he could have anticipated, RELIEVES Fiery, Itching Skin Here is a surgeon's prescription now dispensed by chemists at trifling cost.

The nature of the question gave him an excuse for hesitancy, and he sought desperately to steer away from danger. How can I answer that? . . ." He felt his way. "The idea oc- cured to mc. I won't deny it. . . . But it was . more a vague apprehension than a concrete fear. Put it like this, Harold-iif I were in her place, the question would arise in my own mind, whether it was worth going on. ... I don't say I'd choose suicide, but the issue would be a real one. And I've wondered if Esther's mind works the same way. I don't pretend to have an absolute understanding of her. I doubt if a man ever understands a woman completely, however close they are. . . ." Arkwright nodded his understanding. "Have you never tried to find out from her direct?" "Good heavens, no — God forbid that I should put such a thought into her head" "I see your point. But all the same it's a pity you didn't. . . . You're on the wrong track, Tim, and if only I'd realized before I could have saved you a lot of anxiety. You can get this fear out of your head entirely. Esther has no suicidal tendency whatever. As an uncle of hers, I've known her since she was a child, and I'm quite positive. . . . She's under the weather now, maybe, but she'll win out of it. I never knew anyone with a stronger will to live. She'd never have survived the early stages without it, Tim, you must see that." "Yes, I suppose so." Tim felt suddenly tired, as 11 all the power had been drained out of him. "It was stupid of me to worry. I see now the idea's absurd." Quite hopeless now. He would never dare to fly in the face of so positive an assertion. . . . They strolled back to Esther, who greeted them gaily. "Well, Uncle Harold, haj Tim told you the secret?" "What secret?" "I don't know. You must ask Tim." "What's all thl« about a secret?" Tim inquired. 'That's what I'd like to know. Come on, Tim, tell UJ." "Tell us what?" "Why you've been so mysterious today." "But I haven't been mysterious." "Oh. yes you have. Item one." She checked off the points on her fingers. "You spent the whole of this heavenly morning scribbling away in the library, Item two— you suddenly dashed away from the table at lunch, in the middle of your soup. No proper explanation offered. Item three — mysterious disappearance immediately after lunch. No explanation at all. Item four—you seize Uncle Harold, before he'd had time to digest his tea, and whisk him off as ii we were in a bad play, and I had to be left alone lor my big scene. . . . Honestly, Uncle Harold, didn't he come across?" Arkwright shook his head, "Not a single word." "Then what do you think lt Is?" "I don't know. Something sinister, I expect" "I know—he's writing a hook. A detective story. . . . Are you writing a detective story, Tim?" Tim smiled blandly, and tried to look mysterious. "Ah" he said. Yes, quite hopeless now. ... Two hours later, as he tore up the letter into tiny fragments, and pulled the water-closet plug' upon them, he reflected bitterly that Esther had earned her reprieve. ... Or rather postponement; for there was to be no commutation of the sentence. His mind was already busy again. (To Be Continued) "Myth", Says Douglas of Press Freedom LONDON, Oct. 2.

We've bought some new furniture for the boys' room and it was made by the people Sid McRae works for.

To his troops he was always known as "Walk-up" Wauchope. He has been held to be a most efficient administrator, with a keen sense of humor on occasion, and is known to have contributed to both Arab and Jewish causes out of his own pocket. Sir Arthur Wauchope, who has borne the brunt of Palestine's disorders over the past few years, feared neither Arab nor Jew. He is a wiry, 63-year-old Scot, and since 1931 has administered the mandate over Palestine which Great Britain holds -from the League of Nations, endeavoring all the time to bring about a lasting peace between the Jew and the Arabs. Testimony to his efficiency, in the eyes of the British government, is found in the extension last year of his term of office for a second five years. No whisper of blame has been attached to his name over the recent rioting. He has been regarded rather as the strong man of the troubled days. 28,140 Die in U. S.

Mr. Crone, moving the address in reply to the speech from the throne, pointed to the rising number of traffic accidents and resulting fatalities and said: "Authorities everywhere are waking up to the fact that probably the worst hazard we have in traffic today is the man behind the wheel." He had "no hesitation" in saying the number of careless drivers would be reduced by 10 per cent if hazards could be corrected by mental, physical and practical test of drivers and mechanical test of automobiles, From January to September this year 3434 accidents were reported, an increase of 752 or 28 per cent over the same'period last year. Injuries totalled 1830, an increase of 105 or 11.9 per cent and deaths numbered 90, an increase of 29 or 47.5 per cent. Property damage amounted to $317,615 an increase of $90,797, or 40 per cent. On the other hand motor vehicle licences had increased from 98,797 to 108,660 or only 10 per cent. Referring to compulsory insurance for automobiles. Mr. Crone said the province had to "wake up to the fact that we have passed the time when we should be sympathetic because of isolated cases that cannot stand insurance, or that cannot pass physical or mechanical examinations." AID FOR CITIES Further aid was urgently needed for municipalities. Mr. Crone believed he spoke for all municipalities when he said they were not particular whether the government restored their grants or whether it assumed a larger share of hospitalization and educational costs. The new Liberal member did not believe one citizen would object it the government levied for additional revenue if that revenue were used for the express purpose of helping municipalities. Tlie past year the Vancouver member said, had seen the greatest number of traffic accidents and the greatest number of fatalities in any year since motor vehicles had been in operation. The percentage of increase in accidents was out of proportion to the increase in cars, and Mr. Crone also pointed out that most of the serious and fatal accidents had happened on highways where there was no particular traffic hazards. Turning to compulsory insurance for motor cars, Mr. Crone said the members would be amazed if they realized the number of fatalities that take place where dependents are left helpless and homeless due to the fact that neither party concerned in the accident carried any insurance. Speed limits with villages, towns and cities should be established for the protection of all concerned, the Vancouver member said. The government should concentrate on better roads for the next four years. Mr. Crone was glad to see that the minister of public works had undertaken a program that was intended to produce a surfaced road from one end of the province to the other and from the United States border to Alaska.

Blackmailer, Says Court ol Woman Who Sued (lark Gable, but Frees Her of Penally lor Fraud by Mail SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28 (AP)- The United States circuit court of appeals today reversed the conviction of Violet Wells Norton for mail fraud in connection with a letter she sent Clark Gable, screen actor. Mrs. Norton, an English woman and one-time'resident of Winnipeg, was convicted April 23, 1937, on the basis of a letter the nrosecution charged she mailed Gabfe March 7. 1936 naming him as the father of her daughter Gwendoline. In the letter, Mrs. Norton stated she had illicit relations with the actor in England in September, 1922, and Gwendoline was born the next June. The court held the letter did not come within the statue concerning mail fraud, but it was a "scheme to coerce or extort and is a specie of blackmail." Non-Tidal Fish Hatcheries Are Handed Over lo Province Hands Under an order-in-council at Ottawa of recent date, federal non- tidal fish hatcheries in British Columbia, for the propagation of sport fish, have been turned over to the attorney-general's department on behalf of the province, according to reports in Vancouver newspapers. Hon. Gordon S. Wismer, attorney- general, Is reported to be making preparations to extend control by the officers of his department to cover these operations. The hatcheries as enumerated in coast reports embrace those "located at Cultus lake, Kootenay lake, Kamloops, Penask lake. Summer- land, Fish lake and Beaver lake." This would seem to embrace the existing open air plant at Argenta, on Kootenay lake; but it is believed it covers also all unused hatchery equipment, such as that at Nelson now in storage. No word has been received by the hatchery staff at Nelson as to future movements, TWO COLLECTIONS * MISSED . As the Nelson hatchery was a year-round institution operating on imported Kamloops trout eggs, local eggs from the smaller Kamloops trout of Cottonwood and Six-Mile ' lakes, kokanee or redfish eggs col-1 lected from Kokanee and other j creek mouths, and eastern brook trout eggr collected at Violin lake, it was seldom that its troughs were entirely empty, Normally the hatchery staff would now be collecting the eastern brook trout eggs; in fact the spawning would now be at or past its peak. This is the second collection missed tn the short time the hatchery has been in storage—since September 1—as the redfish collection at first authorized was cancelled, It would have involved setting un the equipment in the basement of the Dill building. A complete new hatchery at Nelson, in its own building on Cottonwood creek, is the hope of the various local organizations that have been asking the authorities for action as soon as policies are determined.
