Halpenny," an Ontario Methodist preacher, it credited with an epigram which is now being much quoted by his ministerial brethren, though we haven't yet- heard it in Enderby. He was preaching in a big- city church, noted for its many social" and literary organizations, its clubs, classes, societies and leagues. .There was... .somethin g?_-r)n--for--.every_, night in the week���������������������������sometimes two or three events on the same night.

The necessary forms to be signed may be found with the City Clerk, at the City Hall; with A. F. Crossman, F. H. Barnes, T. E." Rodie or at The Walker Press.

The engineers are to have submitted to them all matters of public works, and they agree to furnish all plans and specifications, estimates, etc., and to superintend all work undertaken under these plans and specifications, and to perform all such services in a thoroughly practical and competent" manner. In compensation for these services, the City agrees to'pay Messrs. Cummins & Agnew 8 per cent, on the actual cost of the work undertaken and completed under their supervision; and, in case the work is not put through after they have submitted their plans, specifications, estimates, etc., the city agrees to pay them-for their time put upon it at the regular established rate governing such services. the speaker that they would have to be named and carried out of the chamber. But for the intervention of Premier Borden their scheme might have worked out as they hoped.' It is said that Rev. J. A. Macdonald, editor ol the Globe, who has 'been here during the last few days, Hon. > Mackenzie King, Hon. Sidney Fisher,- along with Hon. Wm. Pugsley and Hon. Rudolphe Lemieux were responsible for ��������������������������� the whole disgraceful affair. Rev. Dr. Macdonald stationed himself in a prominent position in the press gallery, and there abused, .the' privileges of*both the press gallery and the House by pub- licly egging on the Liberal members' and applauding the- disorderly scenes. -It was at-a given signal from Hon."

Premier Borden suggested that" the gentleman who was leading the " Opposition might make a statement. Mr. Graham looked at Mr. Pugsley and Mr. Pugsley looked" at Mr.' Graham. Buth showed embarrassment, and neither arose. ,- The situation was awkward until thc Premier laughingly suggested that probably the member for " ���������������������������'&: BUYING AT HOME A man went into a local store, to buy a saw.

The plan was to have Dr. Clark, representing the British born, and Alphonse Verville, representing the Labor and French element, so defy the rules and S o-ith^Ren frew~(MFTT_.fS_.am) might speak for the Opposition. The absence of Sir Wilfrid Laurier from the House all last week has caused a great deal of comment around the corridors. While it is stated that he is suffering from a cold, it is also stated that it is not' so severe that he might not have been-present-if-hc-had-desired.-���������������������������It-is rumored that he is not' in sympathy with the lino of action which "has been followed by the ex-cabinet ministers and Rev. J. A. Macdonald, who seems to have usurped control of the party. It is also said that when Sir Wilfrid returns to -the Ho.use this week, that the obstruction will be dropped and the tlill will be allowed to go through within a reasonable period of time as suggested by Premier Borden. ., WHAT IT FEELS LIKE ,' . ;A young man who received an injection-of the turtle baccillus, administered -by Dr. Friedmann while in New York, claims to have materially .improved, __.and_-tells--_an-_intp.rfiRting^ '.���������������������������fli .'"X' CARD OF THANKS I wish to convey my sincerest thanks to the people of Enderby and vicinity for the many acts of kindness and sympathy extended on the occasion of Mrs.- Boyd's illness and in my great bereavement.

We have read a vast amount of childish twaddle in Hansard the past two weeks. Some of I the Opposition speakers are apparently talking in their sleep. It must jniake them sick to read in Hansard ��������������������������� what they said the night before. It ; certainly is making thc country sick. I The Opposition speakers have talked incessantly for two weeks, night and day, and the Government forces have , listened as patiently as Father Time might have done. But all to no READING, ENGLAND I purpose. Sir Wilfrid Laurier claims it is not his fault, as he feels there is an important principle involved. Premier Borden, on the other hand, maintains that the Government is entitled, after a fair amount of discission, to have its proposed legisla: tion passed on division. In tiie face of the full text of the Churchill memorandum, it is difficult to see any reason for hope ,on the part of the Opposition for anything *to be gained ; by further obstructing the country's business.

A striking criticism of the present system has been given by Mr. R. H. Patterson, a prominent English economist, as follows: "This theory of specie-basis is briefly this: If mych gold happens to come into the country, the note cir- ' culation is likely - to be increased to a corresponding extent; if gold is ; withdrawn from us the note circula-1 ,'tion is proportionately diminished. If, owing to a temporary cause, all the gold available for monetary purposes were sent abroad, all our pa- -per money would likewise disappear, 'and the country be left without money of any kind. A more absurd theory was never propounded. If one kind of money fails us, we are I on no account to use any other. This ' we are told to regard as a master- ^ piece of economical science; this is the great discovery which our advances in civilization have revealed to p us. The gospel of rn_onet-ary science now is, that when a country does not want a paper currency it should have :a great deal of it, and when it does require paper money it shall have inone. When a country has enough' of specie it ought to double its cur- i rency by issuing an equal amount of bank notes. Is it necessary to discuss such a theory? In order to be refuted it needs only to be stated; in order to be rejected it needs only to be understood. Tt is a theoretical monstrosity against which common sense revolts���������������������������a burlesque of reason which the present generation will WE are determined to give the people of Enderby- and District the best quality of Household Furnishing on the market, at live- and-let-live prices, and solicit your patronage.

Box 524 POLITICAL DURING the past season the Department of Agriculture of the Province sent Air Wrr*. Schulmerich, of Hillsboro, Oregon, through this district to lecture under the auspices of the various Farmers' Institutes on the subject of stock raising. In his lectures at Enderby and Mara, Mr. Schulmerich paid a glowing tribute to this section of the Okanagan Valley. In all of his 28- years' experience as a stock breeder and farmer, he said he had not seen a section of country so well adapted to stock raising and mixed farming. He doubted if anything better could be found anywhere . !He saw growing here the finest of fruits, the best of alfalfa and other forage crops, and vegetables ancl roots and cereals as good -as can be grown anywhere. It is simply an ideal spot for the farmer, according to Mr. Schulmerich. "I do not know of any district in the United States or Canada more favored than your valley,"'said he. "You have such a' variety of soils, suitable for growing anything, even subtropical crops. ���������������������������> You have your benches producing the finest winter apples, your bottoms for hay, grain, poultry and stock raising, where alfalfa grows to such perfection and I clovers are as a weed. You have your muck soil for vegetables and celery, and from what I hear, the finest tobacco in B. C. can be grown here. ."Nature has endowed you with an abundant rainfall, ������������������ so that you do not have to irrigate, and you have a wonderful climate, and a railroad at your door. "Gentlemen, though you may not know it, you have a paradise here. I know what a bush farm means and the hard struggle you have had, but, believe me, thc time is coming, and that shortly, when you are coming jinto your own. The Northern Oka- inagan Valley, though now comparatively unknown, will be the most i famous valley in B. G." These words were spoken b'y Mr. Schulmerich at an Institute meeting held here early last year, and the tone and manner of the speaker conveyed how thoroughly convinced he was in what he had to say. He was speaking from his. twenty-eight years' experience as a practical suc- ��������������������������� cessful farmer and stock raiser. He i was speaking from a thorough knowledge of men and conditions. He had - good reason to be confident of I what he said. | Grapes, cherries, plums, pears, apples, vegetables, roots, grain, celery, tobacco and the lugumes can all be grown here, ancl the abundant rainfall and mild winters make dairying or any branch of stock raising, industries that are sure of success if the person engaging in them has any knowledge at all of them. For either the man who wishes to specialize in one branch of agriculture, or to go into mixed farming, we know of no more suitable district than the Northern Okanagan. is held the largest poultry show in the Interior, which is largely supported by its business men; and here I think, we have shown it is possible to raise poultry in the northern end of the Sunny Okanagan for "Profit, Prizes and Pleasure."

The following spring he had a paying crop of vegetables off of one acre of the land. The next year he had another acre cleared and planted to strawberries, and the next season he had four acres into crop. His crops exceeded anything he ever had experienced in all his years^ of market gardening in England. "I was a market gardener in England for ten years," said he, "prior to my coming to B. C. It took me a considerable time looking around B. C. for a suitable soil, but I found what I was looking for at Enderby. I consider the subsoil and climate here perfect; also I find a first-class market, for all manner of vegetables. Tomatoes and cucumbers ripen out of doors; while onions are a splendid paying proposition and do exoeeding- ; ly well. Potatoes average me eight ] tons to the acre, and I sell them at .$20 a ton. Asparagus and celery also are in great demand; in fact, there is no vegetable that cannot be grown here satisfactorily. I had a third crop of cabbages this year off of new land (the first season planted) one of which, planted the first week in July and pulled the last week in September, measured 54 inches i around the" ~ middle. I consider Enderby as a whole far superior to any place I knew of in England for vegetable growing." posed Contract may be seen an-"- ���������������������������blank forms of Tender may be obtained at the Postoffice of Enderby.

If we are to judge from its contents, we have not "barked up the wrong tree." Our comment relating to the purchase of the cemetery site was intended purely in the light of compliance with a public duty. We believe it is poor policy to borrow money from- the bank against the credit of the^ general revenue to purchase something, however good, that has not yet been passed upon by the ratepayers. It is not a safe policy to pursue, though in this case we hope and believe good will result, if the Council brings before the people a properly planned proposition put stating that the minutes do not contain the exact words expressed by us reporting the meeting. He is not correct, however, in stating that we did not correctly report the proceedings. His contention seems to be based upon a quibble, and is misleading. Our report read: "Acting Mayor Worthington stated that he had closed the deal with Mr. Williams, and had instructed that a deed of the land be prepared. Arrangements were to be made with the Bank of Montreal for the cash to make the purchase."

The Okanagan Band are almost an extinct people, but a handful of them left. Their reserves consist of some 30,000 acres approximately. Their larger reserve adjoins the Spallumcheen reserve at Salmon River, and consists of 25,000 acres in one block. - ' The Spallumcheen band, at Enderby have reserves at Enderby of 5,625 ��������������������������� ��������������������������� "iacres; Salmon River 3,853 acres, and CLEANING, PRESSING & REPAIR-1 Sicamous, 201 acres, giving these ing, plain sewing, dressmaking.Miss; people a totai of 11479 acres.
