Enderby, B. C, November 25, 1909 AND WALKER'S WEE KLY Vol. 2; No. 39; Whole No. 91 Hon. Price Ellison Heard by Packed House Hon. Price Ellison's meeting was little short of an ovation. The hall was packed to standing room only, and for three hours the large audience sat and listened to the speakers.. Regardless .of party; Enderby has a warm spot in her heart for Mr. Ellison, and we are proud that he as our member has been made a cabinet minister. It was partly to show our esteem for Mr. Ellison as minister, but more to hear him as friend, that Enderby turned out so well.. Promptly at 8 o'clock Chairman Barnes called the meeting to order. Mr. J. A. MacKelvie was the first speaker called upon. Mr. MacKelvie, of all men, is thoroughly conversant with the actions of the McBride government, ��������������������������� and the criticism level him our congratulations on the high office to which he had been.called by his government. When' Mr. Ellison, arose to speak, he was greeted by prolonged applause and from the start to.finish*of his lengthy address, he was frequently interrupted by cheers and laughter.. He thanked Mr. Bell, and through him the people of Enderby and the Liberal Association for the kind expression : of esteem that had been made, and promised in his hew position ever'-to be watchful of the interests of the Okanagan; Mr.-Ellison then paid his respects to the lSocialist,>_peaker, and told him what, constituted a' workingman in the Okanaganv and British Columbia. Mr."Ellison 'gave some fatherly advice, with just enough of.the stick fed _ against- the government's rail-1*" it to please the audience, and set ^- ������������������ CT ... _ _ hn * "afrinnltv-fv" _>1lf r_. !___������������������_ !___ ������������������_r>_-_ way policy by the, .Opposition, and his remarks were well received -and thoroughly .enjoyed.' He took up the speeches of Mr. Wade and Mr. MacDonaldf and answered them .point by point, and showed tthat after all these speakers had said, there was really very little., for the Opposition to build its case upon. The charge that British Columbia proposed to give too much.,for the little it was to receive from the railroad:, was an- ' swered'by showing ���������������������������" wliat'&anitoba', Saskatchewan anii Alberta" had given in the way of guaranteeing the bonds of the road, and that in reality it was costing British Columbia not a cent, since the bonds were not payable for 30 years, and the road, being a transcontinental road, and running through the,, rapidly advancing sections of the Dominion, was sure to pay from the start, and would carry its own obligations. In any event, he said, the province held or would hold a first mortgage on the-road, and a lein upon the whole system, to protect itself against loss. The Oliver. paper railroad vras referred to; the charge of. paralleling the C.P.R. refuted; the impracticability of the tunnel proposition explained, and the great good to be derived from the Kettle Valley road ^discussed. the "strippling" out. Then he proceeded with other matters. First he set himself straight on the local option question,, saying that he.was prepared to let his actions speak in the matter." He has been called upon in an official way many times to handle the matter of licenses, and his actions at those times should be sufficient to convince anyone where he stands. If; he said, there is one vote over half the number of votes' cast for the candidates, -'we-, may --feci \-. Reserve, you.;, se.ts-_.for. the. English- sure that'a local option-law will b_ [ Opera.

' Taking up the.railway policy of the Government, he clearly, lucidly, and fairly set-forth the conditions on which the road is to be built, and the boilis endorsed. British Columbia cannot lose on the proposition, he saici, for the government.is.protected at every point. And the construction of the road would open up large sections of .country heretofore producing nothing; thousands of settlers will be induced to locate here, bringing with them their wealth" and industry; competitive railroad rates will be secured, and" innumerable branch lines will be run from the main line to open up still greater sections of the province. One of" the first of these ' branch lines will be into the Okanagan, . which will at once break the monopoly from which we have suffered so long. Mr. Ellison spoke until after 11 o'clock. His ready wit, and quaint way of putting things, captured" his audience completely. We regret that lack of space forbids a fuller account. In closing, Mr..Ellison, said that he would in the future-as he had- in the past keep the interests "of the Okanagan ever before, the Government. In the near future, he said, a redistribution bill will be-brought down, and the Okanagan would be given one more representative, if not two.

K N K QONE MAN'S .POINT OF VIE Q i _*^_>^-_ 11 I Mr. MacKelvie spoke for an hour or more, and his answers to each and every charge made by the Opposition speakers seemed to give satisfaction to all interested. The one great crime charged against the government, that of giving one W. A. Lang the province's reversionary interest in 3,000 acres of land on Okanagan lake, charged by the Opposition, was explained by showing that it is the policy of the Government to sell its reversionary right in this land to any white man who first buys from thc Indians the land, nnd then from the Dominion. First the Indians must be satisfied, then the Dominion government, and finally the province of British Columbia. This is the regular way in which these lands arc dealt with, and' the only way, and anyone can buy Indian reserve land if the Indians and the Dominion are first satisfied. And the price from the province is $2.50 an acre, the same as was paid by W. A". Lang. An unknown Socialist speaker then .occupied the platform for half an hour, to the edification of the audience and the enthusiastic pleasure of the Socialist element of the gathering. He was a fluent speaker, witty, sarcastic, and bitter. His clothes deceived him, but his tongue did not, and for thirty minutes the McBride government received a fire-eating tongue-lashing. Repeatedly the man arbitrarily demanded of Mr. Ellison in.a most discourteous attitude explanations of the actions of the legislatures of the past four years, to all of which Mr. Ellison replied in a kindly spirit. ' Mr. Geo. Bell followed in a brief talk on local option, in which he earnestly asked the audience to consider well the importance of the issue and give it their support. Before proceeding in his address, Mr. Bell, on behalf of the citizens of Enderby, and the local Liberal Association, assurred Mr. Ellison of the done aud is capable of doing, we believe the country would rather trust Premier McBride to act in the interests of the province, ' than to risk putting the business in the hands of an untried man.

Between these two elements, there is a vast number of intelligent voters who are no more in sympathy with the intemperance of the one side than the intemperance of the other, and who feel that, no matter which way you look at it, prohibition means that the" man who "does"not" drink~is "legislating against the man who does, and that this kind of reform is neither beneficial to the one or the other and tends to bring about more fric- These voters generous recognition .paid to������������������Harry Worthington, secretary bf .the local association; -:whose senices to. the Liberal cause -in this 'section have .. long been recognized.

A little less ing influence of the party was not big railway talk, fewer hot-air lines on enough to see the opportunity and wrapping paper, and perhaps less, grasp it. It would have been the mountain climbing and tunnel build-j height of diplomacy and statesman- ing. But the end would have been the same. It is an easy matter to make paper railroads, which nobody can or will- have to build. A yard, or two of wrapping paper, a piece of crayon, an Honest John Henry, and spellbinders to Wade the muck, and, presto, you have it ! But the people are sick of this kind of thing. For seven years the Great Northern has been endeavoring to get through Hope Mountain pass, and is no nearer today than it was at the commencement. The general public knows this and will not take any stock in John Oliver's campaign.map. To fight a progressive policy never has been anything but a losing fight. In this contest the Opposition must lose. If there are some things in the McBride policy that the people do not understand, they will have ample opportunity to learn about them when the matter is laid before the legislature, and is there threshed out by the Government and Opposition. dents of a community whether they shall or shall not buy liquor, and if they do not buy liquor it will not be sold.

In view of this we will be surprised if a great many of the temperance people do not refuse to defeat themselves and vote for neither of the candidates, but plump their votes for local option." How intemperate our temperance people are ! Local option, which as everybody knows, is the first step to prohibition, is, at best, a makeshift all Enderbyites, and conveying to back of him, showing what he has So long as our Dominion is in the open bar is withdrawn, they, as taxpayers, will have to make up the difference by increased taxation, and self-interest comes in, and they will not venture. Whether these different voters are right or wrong, they have a vote, and if they do not care to exercise it it is very evident they do not wish to change existing conditions. That every n?an should vote, "yes" or "no" will be admitted, but because they should, does not mean that they will, and if they will not, we fail to see wherein the Government could do differently than they have, and demand that at least half of the voters in the province vote in favor of a change before a change is made. If one-half the voters do not want a change, why -should a change be made? It is up to every voter to say what he wants.

About a scoro of members of thc police force received injuries. / Al night there was almost'a pitched battle between the police and the mob, who, after half_ an hour's severe fighting, were driven up Armagh road and West street and there hemmed in.

As a last resort, the Opposition speakers in the campaign ;ust closing threw out the bait of a suggested coalition government, well knowing that at all times and in all places a politician runs a chance of turning a few luke-warm votes his way by suggesting a go-between. But the people of British Columbia have had enough of the hybrid element in politics. They have not forgotten the position the province was in seven or eight years .ago as a result of these same coalition governments. Driven almost into bankruptcy, as the province then was, with nobody responsible, and no one to shoulder the blame! Oh, no; not yet. when the people of British Columbia feel that Premier McBride is not giving them a square deal, and have no more faith in the party he represents, they will put the Liberal party into power but that time is not yet. And in the meantime, the people of British Columbia will support the man who has done so much for the province in the past six years, and leave well enough alone. No more mongrel government for British Columbia. A VALUABLE SUGGESTION Chas. W. Little Eldernell Orchard M ara, B.C We can still show the Goods Some prime stall-fed beef cut at the present time Our Sausage is still a Leader on In last weeks issue of this paper, Mr. S. Poison, made a valuable suggestion���������������������������one, at least, that is worthy of the earnest thought of all interested in tlie larger, fuller development of the Okanagan Valley. Of course, Mr. Poison steps too far in advance, when he suggests the possibility of going to the government and asking its endorsation of a proposition that is so much in the air as this one at the present time. But we believe we voice the opinion of many when we say that Mr. Poison's suggestion will one day, and not far distant, be an actual realization. It is entirely practical, say men who know the ground well, but will require a very great deal of hard work and persistent effort before it will have reached the point where it can be put before any government or corporation. In the Spallumcheen river, the Okanagan has a vast resource not yet dreamed of. One day, it will have along its banks factories of various kinds, and from its water falls, electric power will be generated sufficient to supply every town in the .plley with electricity for lighting, heating arid' driving purposes, and tram lines will be run by it. And the waters of the river are available to make c-'c-ry foot of land from Sicamous to tbe lake become productive. CLEARLY DEFINES HIS POLICY Fish and Poultry G. R. Sharpe, Enderby, B. C. ��������������������������� In his address at Vancouver last Wednesday night Premier McBride gave a clearer and more thorough exposition of his railway policy than he has in any previous address we have read. While all of our- readers will probably have cast their vote either for or against the premier and his policy before many of them will read this, we feel it is of interest to all to have a thorough understanding of what the advancement under the ; -.rViW ��������������������������� i_ei- y������������������&V_* _T_ AW. /*.

AMES-HOLDEN CO., Limited policy, during the next few years, is destined to be. "For the last six and a half years,' said the Premier, "people have asked me to .give them a railway policy. I said that when I found a safe and sound bargain with a reliable corporation I would come to them with a policy, but that I would not deal with paper railways. I have secured that policy and I now come to you for your endorsation or condemnation. The first question is what is the company with which I have treated. My answer: the Canadian Northern. The next question will be who is the Canadian Northern? My answer: A Canadian road operating 3,600 miles of standard guage road west of the Great Lakes, with 500 miles under construction and 2,000 under projection. A road which employs 25,000 white men, and comes to us with the endorsement of every province except New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, which have not yet connected with the system. Further, we have an assurance of the reliability of the Canadian Northern from Sir Wilfred Laurier, who has guaranteed 1,400 miles of that road. "Seven years ago, in-1902, I headed a bitter fight against the Canadian Northern, as leader of the opposition and for 104 days we fought a bill which would have given Mackenzie & Mann for coming to this province a subvention of 20,000 acres of land per mile, $5000 in cash per mile, and exemption from taxation for 25 years. I said then that the time had gone by when we should give our land and our money to railroads, and I come to you to-day giving you a third transcontinental system without- the presentation of a single acre of our land or a single dollar of our treasury." "Now, what is the bargain with the Canadian Northern," continued the Premier. "Well, we agree to guarantee the bonds of the company for $35,000 a mile at 4 per cent. In other words, we endorse the note of a reputable corporation. On our endorsement they raise the money, which, mark you, is not held by the company, but is paid into the treasury of British Columbia, and is only paid out when we are certain that the work has been done satisfactorily For the guarantee of these bonds what do we get? Ladies, and gentlemen, we get a first mortgage on the road, we get a covenant over the whole system to save us harmless, we get an undertaking that the road is to be built with white labor and the standard scale of wages is to be paid. Further, all supplies and material is to be purchased in British Columbia, construction is to be started within three months from the assent of the bill, and the road is to be completed within four years. This means that within that short period something like $30,000,000 will be expended in this province in wages and in the getting of supplies." "Now what is the criticism levelled at this policy. The Liberals say it opens up only 200 miles of new country and for the rest parallels the C. P. R. The only section of the C. P. R. that the proposed road will parallel will be from Savona to Fort Yale, a distance of some 123 miles. For the remainder of the distance the Canadian Northern will go through new country so far as steam railroads are concerned. The grade of the Canadian Northern from the mountains to thc coast will not exceed five tenths of one per cent., and it is necessary for the competition which I hope to give to the people -that��������������������������� a==grade=such^as=this=shall"W obtained. We get a grade over this route which will enable the Canadian Northern to extend its lines into the Kootenay, Similkameen and Okanagan. The Kettle Valley lines will give the coast-Kootenay connection,' and will cost us $9,000 for ten years. With this and the Canadian Northern ���������������������������which does not cost us _ cent���������������������������-I offer you in all 900 miles of railroad at a cost of $9,000 for 10 years;, you get tlie expenditure of nearly $40,- 000,000; you get contact with the country east of the mountains; you get as a market for your fruit nnd timber 400 additional towns on your direct line and branch lines of the Canadian Northern, and you get fair and reasonable rates under thc control of the Provincial Government. I say that this bargain is the one for which we have been looking for. If subventions by way of guarantees are good enough for the eastern provinces they are good enough lor British Columbia."

DeHart and Mr. K. C. Mac- Donald in K. of P. hall, last Saturday evening. Mr. Geo. Bell, president of thc local Liberal Association, occupied the chair. That Mr. DeHart is new in the game of politics, was evident from his opening words to thc close of his speech; but that Mr. DeHart is honest in his convictions nobody who heard him speak will for a moment doubt. Mr. DeHart spoke very briefly. He said he was not making the run in the Okanagan at his own pleasure, for he recognized that he was no politician; and his respect for Mr. Ellison, his opponent, was thc highest. They were warm friends, and had been for years. He was in the fight more in opposition to the McBride railway policy, which he considered was not in the interest of the people, and he opposed it believing it was not the best agreement that could be made. He asked the votes of his hearers if they were convinced that it would be better for the country's welfare if he were elected instead of Mr. Ellison, promising to do all in his power for the Okanagan if he were chosen. Rev. Mr. Campbell spoke clearly and forcefully for the Local Option cause. After laying the matter before his hearers as fairly as he could, he asked every voter to exercise his franchise for or against the plebescite which he said was submitted under a handicap, but nevertheless the question had been submitted by the government, and it was the opportunity the temperance people had asked for, and every man believing it would be more to the interest of the province to have a local option law on the statute books, allowing every incorporated municipality to say whether or not liquor shall be sold within its boundaries, should take advantage of the opportunity and vote for such a law. He said he did not consider it was fair in the government demanding, half as many votes in favor of a law as the total number of votes cast for all.the candidates. He thought a majority of the votes cast for and against the question of local option, without taking into consideration .what the vote of the province was, should decide the question. . A local option ballot will be handed to every voter on election day, separated from the regular ballot on which thc candidates names are printed, and the local option ballots -will be deposited in a separate ballot box. When the votes are counted, it will be necessary for. the local option question to have half as many in favor of the proposed law as there are votes for the three candidates in the field. He urged every voter- to vote "yes" or "no"' so as tb let the government know . exactly where the country stands on the question. Mr. R. C.. MacDonald followed Mr. Campbell, and scored the Government's railway policy. -He could see nothing in its favor, and thought it was asking too much for the little it proposed to give. The speaker produced a map, prepared especially for the occasion, showing the relative value to the. country of the McBride policy and the policy, of the Opposition. The McBride road, he said, would open up very little new country, since it would parallel, the C.P. R. most of the distance, whereas the road the Opposition had drawn on paper,_.would__ go on._a__straight_line_ people,- the Indians and the Government.. It w as a good Opposition point to make, but here where we have heard so much about the Indian reserve question, we would like to be shown any wild bush land that is worth $300 an acre; and most of us would like to see white men get hold of many more thousands of acres of this land that has lain waste so long at even $2.50 an acre���������������������������anything to get it opened up and into the hands of white settlers, or good colonization companies that would put settlers upon it. ENGLISH GRAND OPERA over the Hope mountain pass, or under it by tunnel, direct to Vancouver, making a big saving in time and money to travelers from the Okanagan to the coast. He said it was needless to give the guarantee to the Canadian Northern Railway builders, for the road would have to come to the coast anyway, and as there was no clause in the agreement for the control of rates, he failed to see how the people- were to-benefit, by the competition afforded by the Canadian Northern. Mr. MacDonald said his party was thoroughly in accord with the Kettle Valley Railway, and believed the construction of the road would mean a splendid thing for the country, and the rapid building up of the district through which the road will operate. It was proposed by the Liberals, he said, to build a tunnel through the Hope mountain pass, and if no railroad company could be found that would undertake the work, then the province would do so, and allow all railroads running into Vancouver to have running privileges over the road at a nominal rate. Over this road it would be possible for the government to regulate all charges, freight and passenger, and thus maintain a low rate. In the matter of Indian reserves, Mr. MacDonald claimed to have inside information showing how the McBride Government had sold the reversionary.,: interest of the government in something over 3,000 acres of Indian lands situated on Okanagan lake, to one W. A. Lang, for $2.50 an acre, land, which he claimed was worth at least $300 an acre. The speaker did not say what the Indians were to receive for the land, nor the amount that was to be paid to the Dominion Government as guardian of the Indians, but left the impression that the man Lang was "doing" the Richard McBride is more than a =politician.=_=-^He__is_a_^tatesman)=_. nd Canada should be proud of him, even if he was born near New Westminster Some day he will be premier of this glorious Dominion.���������������������������Greenwood Ledge In presenting this attraction, the second in the series of entertainments put upon the road by the C: P. Walker Lyceum Bureau, of Winnipeg, and given in Enderby by Mr. A. Reeves, the management feels that it is offering to music lovers tlie accute accentuation of musical merit. The company was formed in the belief that there is always a sufficient number of discriminating-, people interested in hearing good music, delightfully and attractively presented, to support a high-class and expensive attraction. The company consists of eight people: an operatic quartette and four solo instrumentalists, who give selections from.standard light nnd grand opera in^ custume. Each member of the party is young and is chosen for individual merit and for their artistic value to the programme as a whole. The programme is " shared equally, there being no star and no inferior supporting members. Practically all operatic compositions have one or two numbers that have become instantly popular and make the opera a success. The programme of this organization will consist entirely of these choice selections from the best opera. The quartette from "Rigoletto." the sextette in "Lucia di Lammen .oor," the. famous trio from "Faust,'-' and the impressive "Miserere" from "il Tro- vatore;" enlivened >by the comedy quartettes from "Mikado," "The Geisha;" "The Country Girl," "The Burgomaster," "The Merry'Widow/' and other musical successes, constitute the operatic first part. The sec- j ond part will, consist of the .entire Second Act of "Martha," the most tuneful of all English operas. This Act can be sung by four people, and contains much comedy in addition to the musical gems, "The Last Rose of Summer," "The Spinning Song," and the '"Goodnight.'.', quartette. . In addition to' these numbers, we shall hear Leon Ketchum, solo 'cellist; Glenn Kershncr, flutist; Mademoiselle Ange, violiniste, and Madame Ange, pianiste. This is the big event of the entire course, and nobody should miss it. Reserve your seats early." Parties from Armstrong and. neighboring country are coming, and seats will be scarce the last few days. For Sale by A.

CANNING HINTS. To Prevent Mold���������������������������(.'lean and prepare fruit in whatever way you arc i . the habit of doing, but .sterilize cans in the following manner: Have good, thick rubbers that fit well and examine tops, making sure they have an even edge and are otherwise in good condition. No matter how clean they may be, plunge jars, rubbers, and lops into clean, hot soap-suds, not loo soapy, and wash thoroughly. Use a new dish mop, rinse with a little clear water, and plunge again in a pan of clear., hoi; water in whieh has been dissolved a teaspoonful of baking soda; let stand in seda. bath about five minutes, then rinse in clear, cold water and stand open end down to drain. Sterilize as many jars as you ueed for fruit on hand, "While fruit is cooking prepare a heavy syrup of a tcacupi'ul of granulated sugar and a quarter of a tea- cupful of water, boiling it ono minute and adding to it as it is used up; keep hot until needed. Roll tops, jars, and rubber rings in 'boiling water, only two at,a time, as they cool quickly. Drain and stand in clean pan, place, rubbers, rub with .silver knife over tho ela's- t c bands with pressure close to tho neck of jar to make sure it is fitted perfectly, Never allow fruit juice, seed, or syrup under tho rubber rings. Fill jars with thc prepared fruit three-fourths full, run silver knife down inside of jar, rc- noying ifc slowly, and any air bubbles will follow. Do this several times, add fruit until jar is filled to within half an inch of top. Now hi! to slightly overflowing with the thick, hot syrup, leaving thc overflow on the rubber rings, screw on flic hot tops quickly, keep tightening every twenty minutes until cold. Thc syrup forms a cement on the inside between tops and rubbers, making them absolutely air tight. To remove tops,- wrap tops only with a cloth wrung out of hot water, run a thin blaclcd knife under the elastic band, being careful not to dent the edge of top. and "elastic baud and top will come off together with case and you can see how perfectly the syrup cements it. For tomatoes or vegetables not canned with sugar sterilize tops, jars, and rings as above directed, lid thc glass jars three-fourths full, run silver knife down inside of jars, remove slowly to allow air bubbles to escape, (ill to within two inches of top. and pour in slowly a half pint of boil'ng water, allowing it to run over freely, thereby washing away any air bubbles or particles of scum remaining. Screw hot top on at once, keep tightening until cold, and wjicn wanted for use open carefully as directed, pour off this surplus water, which will stand clear and freo at thc top. _Fo r jell |e s, w h e 11 c_o ld_ p_ut_ a _te a - ���������������������������One cupful of flour, one teacupful of sugar, five eggs, two tcaspoonfuls of baking powder, one- fouith teaspoonful of salt.

John Sheepshanks, later on the Bishop of Norwich, was travelling through British Columbia. His book, "A Bishop in thc Piough," relates his experiences on the Douglas frail, whero thc greatest discomfort was caused by the swarms of ferocious mosquitoes. Hc met with Indians covered with paint, carrying branches of trees in their hands, which they were sweeping round them as they walked. They were evacuating their country, being temporarily driven out hy these pests. If by chance a traveller arrived at a clearing or au open space where there appeared to be an immunity from them, ere long they would appear. "Quite early in the morning, after meeting those Indians, I issued fiom my tent, and found an open space, on the river's side where I could get niy hath. But no sooner had I. emerged from the water than I found swarms of mosquitoes assailing me. and do what I would, slaughter them by dozens. I suffered severely. "Jt was on that same day, dining at a wayside house, that I took part in a scene which I cannot never forget. There were tw.-Mity-fivo men, going to the mines. Food was on the table. There was a ceaseless hum in the apartment, for ifc was literally brown with- thousands of mosquitoes. a "It was sweltering hot, yet every man had made himself as impervious as /he could.'. Each man wore his coat buttoned up, strings were fastened round his cuffs, and trousers also, if he had not on fop- boots. They had gauntlets on their hands, their hats were on, and veils hanging down covered face and neck. A man would stick his fork into a piece of-meat and pop in under the veil as quickly as possible. When drinking their coffee the men would hold the cup underneath tho veil, first clearing out thc bodie..." of the mosquitoes which possibly had been feeding upon the hairy miner close afc hand. "Not a word was uttered during that brief meal, for we were beaten down and cowed by the insects.

Editor The Bnderby Press: Dear Sir : Will you kindly give me permission to make public an open letter through the columns of the Enderby Press. The letter speaks for itself, and I would not presume to encroach upon your space did I not feel that the subject discussed in it is of interest to many of your readers. ���������������������������W.A.D. Geo. Bell, Enderby, B. C. Dear Sir: In all probability few people who receive the circular signed by yourself and Mr. Co well, will take the trouble to reply to it, except by means of their votes, but I have often wondered whether you and your fellow believers in local option have ever stopped to think of the real meaning conveyed by the words themselves, apart from the object you have in view. I know, of course, and so does everybody, that your chief aim is to reduce the existing intemperance and abuse of alcoholic liquors, and with this I have no quarrel, but I most emphatically disagree with you regarding the means by which your party are attempting to attain this object. If every member of a municipality desired to close the bars therein they could do it, automatically, for if nobody went to a bar there.would be no object in the proprietor keeping it open, and there, would be nothing gained by a law making it illegal to sell liquor. But, so long as anyone wants to buy liquor, I fail to see by what system of ethics you should arrogate to yourself the right to forbid him to do so. If he abuses his right, you have laws by means of which you can control him, though you must admit that they are feebly enforced, judging by the number of "drunks" at large in Enderby almost every day. Why not start by showing the courage of your convictions, nay, more, doing your duty as first citizen, and checking by any means in your power the erratic, zigzag course along our sidewalks of the perambulating "drunk?" There is another reason why I am opposed to local option, and that is that it is entirely opposed to the principle of free thought and freedom of action, which, within legal limits, we all as British subjects have hitherto considered to be our birth-right. It is a deliberate, calculating attempt by one section of a community to dictate to thc remainder what they shall or shall not drink, and where they shall drink it. I think also that in the latter half of your circular you are deliberately trying to hoodwink voters. When you say: "REMEMBER, That you are not voting for prohibition," do you really flatter yourself that you have wrapped up the issue so skill- !"������������������������������������������������������'��������������������������� ANNOUNCEMENT ! o + 0 -. i 0 ��������������������������� 0 . 0 4 $ GARDOM BROTHERS associated with CEPERLEY, ROUNSEFELL & CO., LTD. have opened their office on the corner of Granville and Robson Streets, Vancouver.

If the majority in a community secure the right of saying whether or not they want licensed bars, does not that amount to prohibition when they close them, as they certainly would, for there cannot fail to be a minority who want them. Trusting that you may at an early date see the error of your ways and mend them, Yours truly, W. A. DOBSON. A FEW YEARS AGO A few years ago when Richard McBride reached up and grasped the tattered reins of government in B. C. this province was in a state of chaos and debt. We were in a sort of shabby-genteel, run-d o wn-at-the- heel, hat-in-the-window condition, that did not look good to the financiers of Europe. Now, look at us ! We have millions in the bank and all the world tips its hat to British Columbia, the brightest and most beautiful diamond in thc. grand tiara of Canadian provinces that sparkle between the two seas. And McBride, a native son, is largely responsible for the happy state of affairs in this glorious land. It was his guiding hand, assisted by able lieutenants, that lifted British Columbia out of the debraic position into which it had fallen through the mediocre administration of hybrid governments, and placed it on a high front seat in this great Dominion. If given time and opportunity he will bring greater glory and renown to this far western "Sea of Mountains," and all intelligent voters know how to extend a lease or renew an option. It is impossible to defeat McBride at the coming battle of the ballots, and, unlike Richard of old, he will not have to exclaim: "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" Too many railways for anything like that.���������������������������Greenwood Ledge. NICOLA COAL Orders taken for delivery at Enderby.
