In the league lacrosse match at Vernon, Wednesday afternoon, the Vernon team won out by one goal, after Kelowna tieing the count by a -score of-6-6-at-full-time.��������������������������� The game throughout was one of the fastest ever seen on the Vernon grounds, and the finish most^ exciting. Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Rodie returned from the Nortli west last Thursday. In -his absence Mr. Rodie made some valuable business connections with realty firms for his firm of Harvey & Rodie, which they believe will prove beneficial in bringing the superior merits of this section to the notice of intending homeseekers. Annie Seymour, a dusky damsel of the Okanagan lake tribe, was on a visit to the Enderby reserve last week to participate in a potlatch. On Thursday evening Constable Bailey caught* her, bag and baggage, going into one of the Chinese houses, and on Friday she was taken before Magistrate Rosoman charged with being drunk and disorderly. Fined $5. Vernon is about to take over the management of the milk service of that city, 'and is "making arrangements with A. McQuarrie, of the Glengarrack Dairy, to take almost the entire output of milk. Mr. McQuarrie is therefore arranging to discontinue his milk service in Enderby. This is to be greatly regretted, for the milk service of the Glengarrack has been A 1, and it will be difficult to get its equal. a certain size and cleanness. The comapny has placed 'ten -. or fifteen tons of its own special seed in the hands of Hullcar farmers,, to be the seed for potatoes grown on "the gigh lands of Hullcar. . The.company guarantees to take all ootatoes grow-' liott, Kelowna en from - this seed, of a ce'rtain size strong; Mr. H and quality, and to Pay therefor $25 per ton. - BOARD OF TRADE WORK ' There was a meeting of the Executive Council of the Associated Boards of Trade _of the Valley at Armstrong, yesterday afternoon.'* The, following" delegates were in attendance: President, Mr. E.
