Enderby, B. C, November 18, 1909 AND WALKER'S WEEKLY Vol. 2; No. C8; Whole No. 90 Political Outlook as Seen from a Distance A FORECAST .- The Winnipeg Saturday .Post has the followingnin its last issue: "In British Columbia the Opposition���������������������������following the example of oppositions elsewhere���������������������������refuses to learn a lesson and blindly opposes the government's policy, chiefly because it is the government's policy. If that opposition would look over thc history of other oppositions in Canada, it would probably be able to see what fate the 25th of this month has in store for it���������������������������for every opposition in Canada that has opposed a progressive railway policy, has been overtaken by crushing defeat whenever an appeal to the country was made. * * The greatest handicap that British Columbia has labored under-for years is that caused by a lack of railway development. In. such circumstances, the wisest possible policy that could be adopted is just such a policy as ,,that. which Premier McBride has announced. * * * And to secure such development the McBride Government does not assume a cent's worth of real liability. It merely guarantees thc C. N. R. bonds. * * * All this loud opposition that we hear every time a government makes one of these guarantees is so- much wind running 'riot���������������������������nothing more. ' How out of touch with real public opinion such oppositionists are is to be found in the ejection returns in every province in Canada where the guarantees have been given."

Mr. Oliver asks the people of British Columbia to build a line without terminals, without traffic arrangements, thro' a country deemed impossible by the Great Northern, right in the teeth of the policy laid down by his leader, Laurier, who says that government- owned roads are not sound business KETTLE VALLEY RAILWAY M'BRIDE ON SIR IIIBBERT "British Columbia existed and flourished long before Sir Hibbert Tupper came here. British Columbia will flourish long after he is gone. I leave the people of British Columbia to deal with him," commented Premier McBride at North Bend a few nights ago. "The only thing Liberals have to hang any kind of a case on is the resignation of two of my colleagues from my cabinet. While they were with me they were classed as incompetents and fools by the Liberals,but ^nowHhey=have=tui_ied=r"ound^and"r.u<. Mr. Pulton and Captain Tatlow to the skies. I promised the people of British Columbia that when I had a sound and business-like railroad policy I would bring it down, and, having secured that policy, I felt it my duty to present it to thc people, even if every member of my cabinet left me. On this policy I am ready to stand or fall. "They are important policies. They "arc white" men's policies, and will build up a white man's country. If you agree that the country should go ahead and prosper, then you must agree that that prosperity lies in the construction and extension of the Canadian Northern lines. It will give competition, and competition will give new life to British Columbia." The Premier ridiculed John Oliver's statement that he would build a government line through the Hope mountains, if no railroad company would do so. "I traveled up to Hedley the other day with Mr. Costello of the Great Northern," said the Premier, "and I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Kennedy, chief engineer of the V., V. & E. This line has stopped at Princeton because Mr. Kennedy, after seven years of 'careful survey, has been unable to get a better gradient through the Hope mountains than two and a half per cent. The Great Northern is seeking some other route. Jim Hill is hesitating; Mackenzie & Mann say they cannot get a business grade over this toboggan slide; the C. P. R. found it inadvisable; yet John Oliver and Five O'clock Mc- Gonnell rush in where experienced railroad men fear to tread and say Hope mountain route is practicable. "We want a railroad that will give us competition. To get competition, we must get a grade; and the route chosen by the Canadian Northern is the only portal to the coast from the "With regard to the Kettle Valley railway bills," said Premier McBride in a recent interview, "I have received nothing but commendation from the country which the road will traverse. Two hundred and seventy miles or thereabouts are to be built under the bargain. The Coast, Nicola Valley, Southern Okanagan, Similkameen, and the Boundary country, are to receive direct benefit. "The cost per annum to the province for the next forty years is $22,- 500 per year, as against which we shall collect from the road $13,500 in taxes, leaving the net charge against our treasury of $9,000 per "annum. "People of this province should remember that apart altogether from the. tremendous progress -.and prosperity which must follow "the completion of the C. N. R. and the Kettle Valley line, the millions of dollars that are to be spent in construction of the mileage to be built, approximately 875 miles. This will do a great deal towards stimulating the general growth of the country. The railways will be obliged to purchase all supplies to be used from British Columbia merchants, as far as the market will permit. "And, better still, the work and labor to be performed is to be done by our own people, and that at fair wages. There must be no Asiatics." - IN THE LOCAL FIELD Mrsi C. S.

C. Brimacombe was elected to fill the presidency, and Mrs. -H. W. Keith the secretary-treasurership. BIG IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED The A. R_ Rogers Lumber Company is planning several important improvements for the coming season. The open refuse burner will be done away with, and a modern water- jacket burner installed. All of the small buildings now lining the river bank from the Company's blacksmith shop tp Cliff street, will be torn down, and replaced by a very large ^'^ and the most modernly-equipped dry kiln. Other buildings of an important nature will be erected on the Company's property for warehouse and storeage purposes. seconded by Mr. Holtby, it was de cided that the same regulations , should.be asked for against all nurser- ; ies, whether coast or inland, and asking that a fumigation plant be established at some .convenient point in the Okanagan. . The matter of a wagon road to Trinity Valley was brought up by Secretary Taylor, who produced considerable correspondence which he had received in the matter. Letters from Mr. C. Dubois Mason, Victoria, who had been" interested in the negotiations, by Mr. Taylor, gave very .encouraging news. In one of his letters iMr. Mason said: "I have to. day (23d ! October) seen the Premier on' the subject and, have shown him a number of photographs of the meadows on my brother's land, in which he was much interested.- He is.ready, to take up the matter again personally if we can give him data and figures showing that the work can be done for considerably less than the estimate." "Mr. Cooke, of the Falls, Enderby, wrote me on the 9th inst on this subject: 'The bridge seems doubtful, as the Government engineer gave his estimate for a bridge one-fourth mile long and they say It is too expensive but' he must have chosen a "place where there are meadows both sides of the river. I know uf several places and one in particular, where the river is only 75 to 100 yards_across,_with_ =gobd*blf)iks_on=1both"^si_esT'"'= In view of the assurance given by the Premier that he would take the matter'up again if he could be shown the Board decided to appoint Mr. F. H. Barnes, the government bridge builder, to make a thorough investigation and report, so that the Board can go before the Government with a definite plan and showing thc cost of the structure required. Mr. W. Allan _Dobson, briefly laid, before the Board a suggestion that a scries of business lectures be given by the Board during thc winter season. The matter was discussed at some length, and laid over until the next meeting of the Board for final action. Thc matter of the railway company blocking Cliff street, and making flying shunts at the peril of life and bodily harm of pedestrians at Cliff and Mill streets, w-.s brought up, and a motion carried, that the secretary be instructed to write Mr. Kilpatrick requesting that he take up the matter and sec that thc regulations governing switching at street crossing!" be complied wi.th. Mr. Rosoman introduced tho matter of securing a resident dentist for Enderby, and it was .decided to insert an advertisement in one of the coast papers, setting forth the advantages of the district for a capable man. opportunity of getting their names enrolled. It is now up to the property owner, vho has become a property owner since the last assessment, to have his name enrolled-. Any failure to do so in the time stated by - law will deprive one of a vote in the next municipal election. If you have bought city property since the last assessment was made, ssy this year, ydu\ must appear before the ��������������������������� City Clerk and make statutory dec-. laration to that effect and he' will place your name on the voter's list. You must do it this month, next month will be too Into. The" husband can make such declaration for the wife, or the seller of a property may make such declaration for the purchaser, but somebody must make it and hand it to the City Clerk on or- before the_30th November.

"Their annual ball given last , Friday evening was an exceptionally enjoyable affair. Quite a crowd attended from Armstrong. There were 60 ladies and 50 gentlemen on the floor, and J. C. English was master of ceremonies. Mr. Lemke and Mrs. Mowat furnished thc music, which added very much to the success of the affair. The. refreshments served by the Pythian Sisters excelled, even..the .viands- served on former occasions by this worthy organization, and more than satisfied the large crowd of happy dancers. "AS YOU LTKE IT." ARE YOU A PROPERTY OWNER? Sweets for the sweet at the bazaar, also afternoon tea. Have you purchased property in Enderby since the last assessment made? Is your name on the votor's list? These are questions which you should answer to yourself, and if you are not sure, make sure by interviewing the City Clerk. And you must do it this month, if you want your name to appear on the next voter's list. Last month, the month of October, license-holders and non-property holders, had the We 'arc in receipt of a communication from the ofllcc of C. P. Walker, of the Walker Theatre, Winnipeg! stating that his representative will be here in a few days to interview a number of our leading citizens relative to a production of "As You Like It," which Manager Walker is sending through the West. As this is the most delightful of all the Shakespearian comedies, and is to be given by practically an all-star cast with a most elaborate scenic and costume equipment, it is hoped that arrangements can be concluded for an engagement here. If thc opinion of those interviewed is favorable, and sufficient interest is shown, a subscription list will be circulated and if enough patronage is assured tbe production will appear here in the near future. it, WHAT BENGOUGHWILL DO He will make cartoons of prominent citizens.

In a recent number of The Outlook (Now York), "An Ex-Consul" contributes a striking article ou "The -Building of a, Nation in South Africa." At the present moment tho English-speaking world is particularly interested ia the progress of the bill now before the j-Jritish Houso of Commons for the federation of Cape Colony, Natal, Orange River Colony, and thc Transvaal, and ".Ex-Consul's" article has- therefore a timely interest. In part, after a brief reference fo the Boer war and the events leading lo the decision for federation, hc says:' AN UNPARALLELED SIGHT. Statesmen in England spoke open- ��������������������������� ly of .the danger which the sullen Boers would be to British dominion. Il was predicted that several generations would pass before thc enmity of the Dutch would be wiped away. Yet other statesmen decided upon an apparently-foolhardy policy, and those, being for.ihc time iu power, were able to-carry out their "plans. They deliberately gave the privilege of representative institutions to. .tho colonies where the-Boers," smarting under -defeat., were in tho majority; and so the world was treated to the unparalleled eight of a conquered race having fill 1 legislative powers in a country from which the army of .invasion had not withdrawn. It certain- - ly was a hazardous experiment, nnd in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it would have failed.' That it not only did not fail, but was completely satisfactory, is atlri- . butable lo thc very fierceness of patriotism whieh was supposed to be the chief obstacle in tho path of peace. Had tho Boers been a whit less devoted to their land and a whit more devoted to their individual ambitions tho exporiment would have been a failure, and would probably have led to a countless number of "unpleasantnesses" here dents of South Africa have in view in. promoting a scheme of federation is far less subtle than that which occupies lhe minds of thc Dutch, .uritain naturally desires to havo every one of its colonial possessions iu the most prosperous condition possible, and it is evident that South Africa a federated country is infinitely preferable to South Africa a disconnected group o; States. Thc ordinary English settler lias no dislike for his Dutch neighbor, and is quite ready to make a friend of him. Thc war is over, and both sides fought well. It is not diflicult for one of the conquering race lo be magnanimous. 3. url.hcri.oT ���������������������������, thc Briton always remembers the commercial aspect of every question, and he sees that the business conditions of the whole country will be.grcafcly improved by tlie union of colonics. INFLUENCE OF THE COLONIALS. There is a third factor in the case, and one lhat is often forgotten, but n'ercvtheless is of great importance. This is the element "which is called "Colonial"���������������������������that is, peo- flc who wore born and bred in tho colonies. In South Africa these Colonial people are generally very pronounced in their loyalty to Great Britain, and at times they do not hesitate to speak in anything but glowing terms of their Dutch neighbors; but they and thc Boers understand one another. They have fought side by side against black foes, and they have fought face to face- Therefore they have a wholesome respect for each other's valor, and afc heart they have a great liking one for thc other. Moreover, the Colonials have intermarried with thc Boers so often that it is almost impossible lo draw the line between thc races. Therefore the colonial may be considered as thc intermediary between lhe two races, and may exorcise a vast power for harmony. ' Hc can smooth the way to union as no one else can smooth it, and the comprehension of this truth is gaining prevalence every day. Afc the close of the war the Colonial was more bitter in his treatment of the Boers than was any Englishman, but that phase of affairs soon passed, and to-day ,the Colonial understands that it is his duty as, well as his privilege to take a prominent part in thc federation of all South African interests. .

"BOTHA ! GENERAL BOTHA !" The proceedings were brief and formal, and the delegates turned to leave the platform, when suddenly the whole crowd in the hall and in thc corridors of the buildings setup a erv : "Botha! General Botha!" I never heard a more hcarlfclI acclamation. This General Botha was commander-in-chief of thc Boor forces in the war, and was the last ilo surrender���������������������������and Durban is the most British (own in lhe country.

There arc two roads from Tangier to Fez, the one passing through Alcazar and the other following thc seashore via Larache. The former is the more direct and except during thc rainy season is usually chosen by. the traveller, but the beach road lo Larache possesses many attractions and'you arc -=able to spend a night at tho old Portuguese settlement of Arzila, which is a model of the fortresses of two centuries ago. No one has ever yet measured accurately thc exact distance which separates Tangier from Fez, and I hope the next person lo make the journey will take a bicycle wheel with a cyclometer attached to settle the vexed question once and for all. Roughly I put thc distance afc 185 lo ]������������������)0 miles, and it is usual to tuke from six to eight days oh the ru_d, thus limiting thc daily march to twenty-live miles, which is quite sufficient if you want to shoot on arriving in camp. The journey can be done comfortably in six days if your animals are not too heavily loaded, and 1 have ridden from Fez to'Larache in three days during the'heat of August, but it is an experiment not to be recommended. Except during the months of July, August and September thc climate of Morocco is temperate and pleasant. Thc early spring is, however, the' best season for a journey, as the tropical rains which arc likely to overwhelm you in lhe late autumn and -early winter have ceased. The rivers arc serious obstacles during the rainy season, as there arc no bridges and no ferries EAftS ON THEIR LEGS. more1 urgent importance than all except close to the coast; and con- thc others. This is the question soquenlly il the fords are impracticable you are likely to be hung up on the banks of. a river for a very onies. But because they loved their land, and thought only of its welfare, they accepted the gift that was bestowed upon them and set themselves to work lo make good the ravages of thc war and t-o establish thc country upon a lasting basis of prosperity. DUTCH ARE NOT DISLOYAL " " Not long ago lbrought'tothc notice of one of the foremost members of lhe Transvaal Government a statement lo the effect that tho Dutch people were only ostensibly loyal and that when the chance occurred the whole nation would rush to arms again and renew thc struggle for independence. "I have seen several assertions of this kind," hc replied, "but do you truly think that we arc.mad'? \Vhafc can wc possibly gain by further resistance. That is thc question which people should ask them- -.sclvcs before they make such slale- r.ie its. England has given us a degree of independence for which wc dared not- hope, and I assure you that we appreciate thc gift. Of course wc shall always treasure the memory of the old regime, but that will nol interfere with our making thc best of tho new. There is absolutely no foundation for believing that there is any underhand F.ohciuc for re-establishing the old republics." That is the opinion of all thc leaders of what may be called the ���������������������������Young Dutch party, and they aro the men whose word will sway thc minds of ninety per cent, of the people. Ifc is simply an instance of rapid recognition of fact and earnest desire t-o do thc best that may be done to save their beloved country from further distress and ruin. vi'F/WS OF BRITISH RESIDENTS Tl>. idea which thc British resi- of the governance of the" natives who in that country- arc to the white people as ten is to one. For tlxr'most part, tho blacks arc a peaceful and harmless race in these days, but no man can tell at what minute trouble may occur.

Thc conflict of dif- ffering laws in different Slates sets a premium upon discontent among the natives. The native question is the most serious problem before thc people, of ..South Afrien,_now and at all limes, and great expectations arc cherished of lhe benefits which w-'ll accrue to native administration under a Federal Government. THE SPIRIT OF AMITY. It would be impossible to Iind a bettor illustration of thc spirit of .unity which is abroad in South Af- rrca than was afforded hy the recent conference of delegate:-;, met at Durban, Natal, to discuss the pros- pocts'of federation and lo produce the scheme whicli has now been accepted by the Parliaments of thc Transvaal, Orange River Colony, Cape of Good Hope, and Natal. Thc Conference met in the Town Han. and wa.s under the presidency of Sir Henry de Villicrs, a man of Dutch and Huguenot extraction. Thc delegates included General Louis Botha, who is the Dutch leader ; General Smuts, General Dc Wet (the elusive De Wet), General Dc la'Rey, ex-President Slcyn���������������������������all these, and others fought and led in the Boer army. With these veterans were such men as Dr. Jameson (of Raid notoriety, formerly thc bitterest foe of the Boers), Sir George Favrar, Sir Percy Fitzpatrick, and many others who were {prominent in the British ranks. The leading men of all the colonies were there and British and Dutch were on terms of absolutely unconstrained friendship. The extremely British residents of Dur- considerablc time. The rivers are wide and shallow, but arc liable to rise and fall six to eight feet in twenty-four hours. Your baggage must be carried on mules or horses. There arc no regular roads in Morocco and the tracks arc often very difficult to trace and vary constantly because thc tribes have thc curious custom of ploughing right over them and sowing their grain thereon. Thus in tlio summer when thc com is ripe the old road has somc- _iTnc_~ciTltf-_3^lT_^ necessary lo strike a new trail. As there arc no roads carls are unknown in the interior. The only v.heeled vehicles which ever found their way lo Fez were brought there by the late Sultan Abdul Aziz, who succeeded in adding considerably lo his: unpopularity by the innovation. That is Where an Ant's Grow and He Mas Six of Them. Strange as it may seem an ant has at least six cars. Aside from their multiplicity they are located in just about thc queerest place imaginable���������������������������on the legs. They seem deaf to all sounds made by the vibration of tlie air, but detect thc slightest possible vibrations of solid material. This is supposed lo be in their advantage, in that such things as approaching footsteps tell more of tlie possibility of danger than such sounds as are transmitted through thc air. So sensitive are Iheir fecfc, says St. Nicholas, that they detect tho impact of a small birdshofc dropped on the table from a height of about six inches and aboufc fourteen feet distant from an artificial nest placed at thc other end of the table. As curious as arc their' cars, their noses are even more extraordinary. As-the ants spend most of. their time in the dark, they must depend "largely on scent for their guidance, and in consequence have quite an elaborate array of noses, each for a special purpose. - Miss Adelc Fickle believes that their antennae arc composed of a number of noses strung along in a line. Still more strange is the fact that each of these noses can smell only a special thing. The nose on the tip or first joint of the antenna it is said, is for recognizing thc odor of the home; thc one on the second point is to recognize relatives. The third nose is the pathfinder, and .without it the poor ant cannot follow a trail and soon gets hopelessly lost. Thc nos- c-s on the fourth and fifth joints arc for recognizing the eggs and immature ants in thc nest. No creature is more tidy than an ant, who cannot tolerate the presence of dirt on her body. These little creatures actually use a number of real toilet articles in keeping themselves clean. No less an [authority than Dij. McCook .says their toilet articles consist of coarse and fine toothed"combs, hairbrushes, sponges and even washes and soap.- Their saliva is their liquid soap, and their soft tongues arc their sponges. Their combs, like their-cars arc fastened to their legs.' They.stop for a hasty clean-up. whciv fchey get dirty.- But a more leisurely toilet is made when they feel in'a loafing mood, and they then,lend a helping hand to one another in thc process.

That imprisonment for debt is ne.iiessary and should not be abolished is the. opinion of thc Select Committee which has been sitting for some time in .London, Kng., to fnnsider the question. Changes, however, in Iho present law arc recommend ed.' Their report, which was laid on (he table of thc Knglish House of Commons, has now been made public. No other means of enforcing payment, the report points out, is equally efficacious. How effective thc threat of imprisonment is in making debtors pay up is shown from the fact that in 1907, the last year for which figures are available, ]-10,07". warrants for commitment were issued, but only 0,235 debtors were imprisoned, lhe remainder apparently paying their debts. At present no warrant for imprisonment is issued unless the debtor has or has had since thc dale of thc order or judgment means to pay, and has ''neglected or refused" or "neglects and refuses" to pay; and the majority of the County Court judges, ifc is added, are i i favor of the retention of the present law. the Extraordinary Mrs. Billtops.

Santa Claus Angel lo thc Poo* Takes Her Life When Protege Fails to Reform. Heartbroken because the youth whom she had tried to reform was convicted of forgery, Miss Elizabeth A.

Fivo months ago she sustained the shock which is believed lo have hastened her end. Afc tho lime Andrew M. Rhule, a college graduate and member of a family well known in New York Stale, was convicted of forgery at Philadelphia after Miss Phillips had taken particular pains to re- Eorm him. Having served terms in New York prisons, Rhule, young" and handsome, drifted to Philadelphia penniless and when his plight was discovered, Miss Phillips gave him employment afc the hcadquar-. lers of thc Santa Claus association/ organized, formed and directed- solely by herself.

A. R. Rogers Lumber Co. _ Limited [ Enderby B. C. ji The Grand Porks Sun, a daily evening paper, which ever since its inception nine years ago has supported the Liberal cause, has come out boldly in support of the McBride government, in tlie following editorial, the editor gives some sound reasons for so doing. He says: "After a careful comparison of the policies on which thc McBride Govern ment and thc opposition appeal for the votes of the electorate in thc present campaign, The Sun has arrived at the conclusion that the people of British Columbia should sustain the Government. "Loyalty to a.political party is an admirable trait, but loyalty to the province and the district is better. Premier McBride's railway policy is vigorous. It will do more to develop British Columbia than any other law that can hc enacted. "We have been clamoring for such a policy for the past six or seven years and to antagonise it now would be to repudiate our former convictions and to prove traitorous to the best interests of the commun- _ \ ity. Grand Forks needs the road to jj | Franklin camp. The future prosper- |' ity of the city to a great extent depends on its early construction. The people of the Boundary and the Kootenay need the Coast-Kootenay road. The method of reaching the coast cities is now too slow and expensive. ���������������������������_- g_>er______*������������������___������������������ wtv_rcm _*������������������*= __--'ca 1 For Fall Planting Bulbs from best European and Japan growers.

HENRY, Vancouver,B.C^t/ ;>r__ ; Thc people of the coast need the con- '. ncction with the Canadian Northern i because railway competition is thc .' life of present-day commercialism. ; Tlie terms of agreement with the rail- ; way company are not exorbitant and will work no undue hardships on the people. It may be argued that the Great Northern is building to the coast without a bonus. But the road is taking its own time. At the rate of progress it has made during thc past four years, the completion of the line to -the coast will not be near the present generation. There are other good planks in thc Government's platform These will be reviewed later. "The local Conservative candidate is a gentleman whose ability is recall over the province. He I stands well with the Government and I if elected the interests of the district I will be well looked after. Against j the Liberal candidate we have noth ing to say. We understand very good man, a man of ���������������������������a fair dealer, a square player of politics, and a son devoted to the interests of British Columbia, first, last and always. His administration has been capable, honest and enterprising. He took oflice at a time when the finances of the province Avere in a critical condition. He delayed announcing his railway policy until the financial embroglio was at rest. Then he comes to the people | with a clean-cut, comprehensive, co- i operative policy that everyone can ! understand. He can be trusted to \ carry it through. i As to his railway policy, is it !strange that it is opposed by the C. \V. R., the G. T. I. and the G. T. P.? ; Their opposition is most natural, I dictated as it is by their self-interest. | All the pandered advocates of the C. .'P. R. and the G. T. R. now abuse | the McBride railway policy. Richard gains by the enemies he has made. Then the guarantee of $35,000 a mile is much less than what it will cost to build a mile of the road. Well-informed railway men say the McBride railway bargain is a better bargain than the Liberals drove with the G. T. P. Unalterably opposed to railway grants as the World is, yet the circumstances in British Columbia may be pleaded as extenuation for Premier McBride. -And .besides, the west is west and the east is east. As to the prophesied deficit, this need not worry even the C. P. Ri and G. T. P., for any deficit in revenue is guaranteed by the C. N, R. Hence | the province need not feel fearful of | its commitment, even if for the first ' two years or so under the railway agreement, there should be a deficit. ��������������������������� From' this distance, Premier McBride looks like a man on his feet. He is British Columbia. Premier Whitney was maligned for his power policy. Yet Premier Whitney is Ontario. British Columbia can trust Dick McBride to give it a fair'and square deal iu railways.

No province is more jealous of its geographical distinction, no province has more individuality, personality, soul, than British Columbia. It has long been the plaything of certain ' corporations grown -fat with federal ; favor, But British Columbia has now reached man-size, and its personality is asserting itself. | This is shown in the railway policy ; of Premier McRride, wlio typifies the British Columbia individuality. It is significant that hc is the first native son of British Columbia to rise to thc premiership, not, it must be ad- mittod, without creating chagrin umong some not to the manor bom. His rise is due to his native abilities. He is gifted with the magnetism that buckles followers to him. He lias shown his fitness to man-handle the affairs of his native province. His opponents have not always gone from the field victorious. Dick McBride gives an account of himself every time. In his recent railway policy he has focused the need of an unattached railway for British Columbia. The full-blown and full-blooded C. P. R. that has manipulated British Columbia through many tortuous years, is overlooked. British Columbia thinks its interests no longer lie in posing as the goldcn-egged-goose for a railway that ramifies two dominions. Nor is British Columbia in love with the federally-fed G. T. P., that aims to force Prince Rupert on nature, and that connects up with thc G. T. R., which is as much a part of the United States as it is of Canada. Hence the Canadian Northern Ry. comes into the McBride railway policy as an unattached line, distinctively Canadian and absolutely necessary to the development of British Columbia.

To my mind, sir, a great deal should happen���������������������������sufficient to revolutionize at least' the North end of this Valley, if not the whole of it. My scheme is as follows: The city of Enderby, as well as all the territory extending east to Mabel Lake, north to Shuswap Lake, northwest to Salmon Arm (including Salmon Arm and District), west as far as Grand Prairie, should incorporate and join in with the Armstrong, or Spallumcheen municipality, and thus form a strong combination for borrowing and influential purposes for the development of this territory- second to none in the province for agricultural purposes and for power to develop same. They should then take a' record on the waters of the Spallumcheen for both irrigation and power purposes, as well as for domestic use. They should ask the Government���������������������������through the member now to be elected���������������������������to commit themselves to the scheme, during the current election campaign. The scheme is to flume the waters of this mighty river, from a point above the falls, near Mabel Lake, and carry it ��������������������������� down along the north side of the Valley, and from it water all the arable land between the lake and Enderby���������������������������the river running as it does along the foot of the mountain on the south side of the Valley- then syphon part of this water south and east of Mr. Fortune's and up along the mountain as far south as Larkin or the south end of the Armstrong municipality. This water could also be syphoned at different points to cover the bench lands on the west side of the railway, all the way from Enderby���������������������������or north of Enderby���������������������������to the north arm of the Okanagan Lake; the balance of the water could be conveyed north ae far Mara on both sides of the river. In addition to this there could be a drop of a hundred or more feet secured, a mile or so east of Enderby, and from this drop sufficient power could be secured to drive all necessary factories, electric lighting and heating plants, tram lines, etc., throughout the Valley,, and thus make it second in activity and beauty to none on this continent, or for that matter on any other continent. If this had been done sooner, and the city of Vernon had joined in and got her water supply thus, she might have got an unlimited supply, with water power to the bargain, for less money; and it is quite possible that she may need this source yet, some hot, dry day. As regards the cost^of this work, I believe it would be a mere drop in the bucket compared with the benefits that would be derived, the very advertisement of such a scheme to be carried out would bring more people and money than would be needed to complete the work, and the interest on the money, borrowed at say 4 per cent and for a term of 30 years, would not be felt by those who par- -ticipate-in-the-benefits-der-ived-there- from in the future, for, instead of saddling a load of debt upon those who come after us, we are providing them with power to do things, and thus make the whole valley prosperous and flowering, as well as cool and comfortable. The sanitation of such work would create the borrowing power necessary to carry it through. It would be its own creator as was the C. P. R., although when the.C. P. R. was first talked of it was looked upon by the general public as a scheme that would never pay for the greese that would be needed for the car wheels. All that this undertaking needs is men with initiative, genius, courage and, foresight, and daring ability, and' they can make the undertaking finance itself. There never was so much cheap money waiting for such use, and God knows we need it, and He is willing that we should have it if we are willing to put our thinking to work, and thus produce the needed action; and do this ourselves instead of leaving it for-Americans to do, or our own children in the future. Let us be like the old negro, who, after praying several nights for the Lord to send him a chicken, but got none. Then he changed his prayer to, "Oh, Lord, send dis nigger afer a chicken,' whereupon he got one forthwith. The best way to do a thing, is to DO IT. The Lord helps them only who help themselves. In conclusion, I want to say, let the mayors of Enderby and Armstrong municipalities meet and look into this matter forthwith, and bring influence to bear on the member to be elected in the comine: election. We have the Price, and why not have the benefits to accrue ? S. POLSON. suggestion that the Board inaugurate a series of lectures on business subjects,, during the winter months, which the general public should be invited to attend. Possibly owing to the lateness of the hour at which the subject was introduced, I do not feel that the suggestion received the consideration which it deserves, and I feel also that some expression of opinion on the subject by the non- member section of the public would be of considerable value to the Board in arriving at a decision as to the desirability of establishing such a course. Perhaps the fault lay in my poverty of expression, but the fact remains that I do not think the members present ,properly understood the class oi lecture or choice of subjects which I suggest. I do not suggest that anybody be invited to give away trade secrets, as one of my neighbors at the meeting seemed to suppose, nor do I suggest that subjects of merely passing or individual interest be discussed, but the big', broad, general principles of business, the foundation of the whole machine, are of vital interest to everybody in these days when the element of chance has .been practically eliminated from business and the whole basis of success is knowledge. One man cannot know it all, that is axiomatic, and he must indeed be small-minded and woefully lacking in ambition, who would try to deceive himself into the belief that he has nothing more to learn. I do not believe that a man's employees can know too much about his business; the more they know the more value they are, and it pays, pays big, to educate them; if it does not why do some of the largest and most succes- ful concerns to-day spend large sums in regular courses of instruction for their employees ? In proportion as a man increases the efficiency of his staff so he increases his. business; is this not true? and if so, is it not the wise thing to do ? I mentioned at the Board meeting a few subjects on which we all have some more to learn, and I 1 .peat a few of them here so that the public may get some idea of the lectures I propose: Take the subject of business correspondence, how few are able' to compose a really good letter; put life and action into it, vivid ideas, personality; the self-same elements that make for strength in personal contact? Take advertising, look at the valuable space absolutely, wasted through sheer ignorance of the elementary rules of effective advertising. Take the broader questions of personality, organization, administration, are these not all questions on which we all have still a lot ^to learn, and a knowledge of which makes for success, and'ignorance thc reverse ? But I have said enough to outline my object,, and will await with interest an expression of opinion from that section of the public who recognise with me the immense value which such a course as I suggest has for everybody, .and particularly the rising generation.

A French doctor, so one hears from abroad, has recently established in Tourainc what is probably the "denier act" in rest cures. He has a theory based on observations by Lumiere, of Lyons, that people employed in work shops illuminated by red light because nervous and were quickly tired, and that these effects ceased wheu blue light v/as substituted. To carry out his theory the. doctor keeps his patients in a blue atmosphere; the glass in the window is blue, and all thc decorations, nnd furniture of the room is of the .am. hue. At night the electric light shines through blue globes. is pure concentrated .beef. Absolute silence is enjoyed throughout the establishment. His aim is to make his patients spend as much time as possible in sleep, waking up at intervals to take food. lie relics on physical agents, such as fixing thc eyes on a bright object or the monotonous ticking of a clock, lo lull thc senses of.his patients.

Many quaint marriage customs still survive in some old English and Scottish families. One notable tradition of this sort still kept green by- the Dukes of Athol and; their heirs, says the London Lady's Realm, is* that of the bridegroom carrying the bride across the threshold of Blair Castle, it being in accord with an ancient tradition that it is unlucky for thc first time to walk in the ordinary way. This is only one of the many quaint old feudal customs that' arc observed upon this estate, .which the Duke of A tlio 11 holds from the crown by one of those strange tenures which are occasionally to be found-in Great Britain. Upon fear of forfeiture the owner has to present his sovereign with _ a white rose whenever hc or she visits the castle. Fame may come to a man suddenly and go just as quickly. WHY KICII FOLKS STEAL. The Views of a Celebrated Paris Physician. Why do women shoppers who have plenty of money steal things which they do not need . Others have dismissed .the phenomenon after giving it a name��������������������������� kleptomania ��������������������������� but a. celebrated Paris physician and criminologist, has gone straight to 120 of the fair culprits for their own version of the mattsr. In Paris scarcely a day passes when one of the courts has not to consider the case of.a woman accused of theft at the "Bon Marche, the Louvre, or the P.rintcmps. The interest of these cases is increased- by the fact that" although a few professional thieves and somo persons who are driven to theft by poverty may be among their number, by far the majority of these shop thieves are ladies in easy circumstances. Some of them, indeed, are rich. _ Here are some lead ing "facts from the criminologist's investigations. The women only thieve in the large shops. The majority of them are in easy circumstances, and many of them are rich. Thc articles they take are often of no use to them, or they clo not need them, or they have aheady in their homo similar ai tides, and often more than they require. - - ��������������������������� -- Another point is that when arrested at the door of the shop they readily distinguish from the rest of their possessions thc stolen article, and many of them admit possession of it Avith an expression of relief, as if they had felt burdened by its weight. Many persons, again, go a step further. Anticipating their questioner, they accuse themselves of former thefts committed in similar circumstances, aud describe the stolen articles they have in their homes. '_"'.' As a rule, the goods have not been worn or used, and they frequently still bear the ticket of the shop. Finally the same explanations are given in: nearly every ��������������������������� .'"It was too strong for me���������������������������I. lost my head���������������������������I thought that everything belonged to me���������������������������if I had not been detected I should have gone on always-" . ".".''' Out of 120 cases which the criminologist has studied specially, eight women were found to be suffering fiom general paralysis' and three from softening of the brain. Of the remaining 109 cases no f^ycr than 100 proved to be suffering from disease. Many a man has won out by his inability to realize, that he was whipped. TREES THAT FIGHT FIRE MUSHROOMS WHICH LIFT' PAVING STONES. Carnivorous Properties of Some Plants Well Known, But They arc Uncanny. Thc common peanut, beloved_of the small boy, and, under its alias of "monkey-nut," grows in a peculiar way that is distinctly original Thc little plant sends up its shoots, with the fruit, on the end of a somewhat stiff stalk, and then, before it ripens, the stem bends over, and carefully pushes thc fruit underground. As pigs are said to he especially fond of those, it has been suggested that thc plant does this to hide its nuts from the porker's too inquisitive investigations; but this can only be regarded as a supposition. There is a little mimosa that grows in the tropics which is so shy that, on being shaken or touched it immediately closes up the dainty fronds of its little leaves, and they remain tightly closed until they think they have given their disturber time to pass on and leave them alone. Then they slowly and cautiously open out again until presently all the leaves aro FLAT AS BEFORE. In the-hot desert regions of Arizona and Mexico thc cactus stores in its thick leaves every .drop of water or. dew that it can get, so that there is always a supply, not for a rainy day, but fora dry season. In reality, the spines of the .actus are the remnants of- its leaves, and the so-called leavesare the modified stalks. In the waterless regions where the Cactus grows it has very little use for leaves, that would only .ither away from thc hca't, "59-it sreduces them to a" very effective weapon against all enemies,. and then swells the stalks to' make the kind of water-tank it can best use for its purposes. The best proof of the efficiency of its' reasoning is the fact that' it exists where very little else can, save a few- plants which have similarly adapted themselves to circumstances. One of the queerest, things done by any plant is the extraordinary power shown by a common mushroom'when it wants'to grow up into the open. Tender and spongy, the slightest thing will crush" its fi agile substance. But this feeble thing can, and sometimes does, f LIFT A PAVING STONE that happens to impede'its movements towards the air and light. By what remarkable faculty of engineering is this wonder accomplished 1 A plant that can lay a trap for the wily fly, and can catch him and cat him, is a plant that has acquired intelligence beyond its sphere. Is it much wonder that old travellers' talea tell of trees that can catch men. The thing is not so impossible on its own scale. But it makes one feel uncomfortable tc DEATH IH A S.BATCH.

When a. dirty knife, a rusty needle, a splinter of dirty wood, a barbed wire fence, or a thorn, scratches lha hand, ihe latter is inoculated with germs, of whieh the air about us U full. Directly these germs are introduced through thc bieach in the skin, a battle royal ensues between the:n and certain organisms in our blood. When the invading germs are too strong tor Nature's defences, in a few hours tha finger will become hot and throbbing. A lillle later thc wound may "exhibit a whitish appearance in the middle of the swelling, and we have what is known as a festering or poisoned wound. ^ The way to avoid such serious results is to cleanse the wound nnd npply-Zam-Buk. Zam-Buk is a powerful yci painless germ killer, and when applied to the broken skin is absorbed into the tissue, instantly des. troying the germs that spread disease and infl.inin.ation. The flesh is thus soothed and purified, tha wound made pcifcctly healthy, and all poison and cause of festering removed. Having done ibis, Zam-Buk then proceeds to heal ihe wound or sere with new healthy tissue, in a quick, painless, and perfect manner. Zam-Buk must ��������������������������� not be confused with ' ordinary ointments. Zam-Buk is a unique ���������������������������preparation, po'-ses.ing antiseptic, soothing, and healing qualities ihat are not to be found together in ������������������ny other preparation. It is not only a unique healing balm, but it is also a skin food. For all skin diseases and injuries- cuts, bruises, burns, eczema, chafing, ulcers, ringworm, etc., it is without equal. It is also used widely for piles, tor which it may be regarded as a specific* Ali druggists and stores sell at fifty cents a box, or post fa _ from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, for price. think that such powers can be acquired at all by organisms so low ai we are accustomed to regard plants. Thc thing is so common that ve have ceased to wonder at it, .m; there is a deal of cleverness in the startegy of most flowers in supplying honey in such a position thai it acts as payment to thc friendly bee for the service- of pollenating the flowers that are to reproduce the stock. Thero arc some plan _, .however, which have special methods of their own. The fig even now grows its flowers inside the; fruit���������������������������or, rather, thc fruit we cat is thc outer covering of the ilow crs, and to grow the large Smyrna 'gS A SPECIAL INSECT. has to be encouraged. For years these large figs could not be grown .in California, until at last the right insect'was' imported to do the work. There is a pine in the Western forests of America that has so hard a cone that the imprisoned; seeds cannot be propagated in the ordinary way. Tlie best way is to burn the cone over a hot fire until it .bursts, when the seeds escape. When the vast, all-devastating forest fires sweep the country, these pine cones have their chance, and from them the new trees grow. Docs the tree know that it 1ms to make this cunning preparation for forest fires, or risk extinction ? It looks like it. : *��������������������������� . IN WRONG.

Manners of Those Animals art Generally Perfect. "Whenever'I recall the sacred city of Kairowan, my-ear is aware ot the dull, soft sound of the camel's leisurely tread," declares ."Mr. Graham Fetrie, iu his boon on "Tunis, Kairowan and Carthage." The camel is . ubiquitous in this city; one meets him at every turn,- pursuing every occupation, hunibla, and exalted. He draws the" carts," lie treads the wheat, hc grinds the corn, and he carries such enormous-burdens of hay and fodder that one wonders if indeed, his pool humped iback would not be broken by-adding the. proverbial straw. ������������������������������������������������������."- "-_" ' "Although his occupations are mc-, nial, although "his figure -is gro-' tcsquc and ungainly,', although'his eyes are often covered with blink-, crs and his mouth enclosed by a nose-bag, although his neck is denuded of its long, handsome collar and his body clipped and shaved* till his skin is as bare as a plucked ostrich, although he' is lodged in filthy stables and beaten with sticks by heartless boys,_ he never loses his dignity of bearing. The manners of the camel are generally perfect, as is .noticeable when one sees a score' or more drinking at one of thc many wells outside thc town- Arranging themselves in regular and orderly rows on either side ol JJdcJjicluirh. -they- j_lret.h__.oii __their. long necks and suck up thc water with a solemnity and orderline&a that would do credit to the formal etiquette of a Chines-������������������ mandarin.

When a camel has assuaged hia thirst, hc quietly withdraws, ami with a gracefnl'motioirof-thc-ncckj- wliich suggests a courteous bow ofi thanks, another takes his place. _ | Every one knows that a camel ia able to"carry a store of water which will last him for many days when mossing a desert. Oiip day, as I was watching some' camels lying in the sun, I learned how .'���������������������������the- store was utilized. I saw-a small irride- Kcent bubble; appear from tho mouth of one of them.which rapidly expanded till it was the size ot a football. For a moment it hung there, looking quite,, beautiful, if a little uncanny, as it reflected" all the colors of the' rainbow in the brilliant glare of tho African noon.

WELL PAID TEACHERS One of the best indications of our advancing civilization, in British Columbia, at least, is to be found in the fact that we are paying our public school teachers high salaries. By reference to the annual report of the Department of Education it will be seen that the principal of the Grand Forks public school gets a salary of $140.00 a month, or nearly $1,700 a year, and this, it is said, is not because of any unusual heaviness in his work, as the attendance in his room is only about thirty. A well-paid staff of teachers is one of thc best assets a community can have. NICOLA COAL Orders taken for delivery at Enderby. Superior domestic coal; economical, and gives absolute satisfaction.
