Thursday, October 13, 1921 Subscription $3 per year City Council Prepared to, Undertake Park Proposition All'members of the city council expressed favor toward the proposition for making an agricultural and auto park and recreation ground along the <- river in the Poison addition, at the meeting of the council Tuesday night, when the proposition submitted to the citizens' meeting last Wednesday evening was laid before them by Mr. Walker, details of which were published in these columns last week. It was brought out at the meeting ' that the city already owns about two acres in the proposed park site, and Mr. Poison was present and pointed out on tho city map twenty other lots that he was prepared to turn over to the city for park purposes in exchange for .other lots taken over by the city for taxes, and he pointed out that by taking advantage of the opportunity now before them, the people of Enderby would "get an ideal location for park purposes at no money outlay at all, and with the building of the rink building on the property offered as a free site, Enderby would . have a building that would serve as an agricultural hall for fair purposes, etc., something most essential in the ������������������ development of the town and district. Aid. MacKay, Aid. Nichol, Aid. Gaylord and Aid. Coltart expressed favor toward the proposition; they believed the town needed just such a park and building combined and were of- the opinion that the location was an ideal one for botli summer and winter recreation.

While it Was pointed out that there could not be any question as to this, in order to place the council on record, it was, on motion of Aid. Coltart and A.d.NichoI, that the city would definitely accept the responsibility of looking after the exterior- of the building and the . grounds. Mr. Gilders, representing the G.W.

Mr. Stott and his co-workers are to be congratulated on the able manner in which the whole affair was carried out. Fiiday evening the Rev. Milton Jack, of Korea, "gave an address in the ��������������������������� church, and on Sunday, the Rev. Geo. A. Wilson, of Vancouver, conducted both the morning and evening services.

As a prelude to the concert in the auditorium of the church, Miss Jnk- inan favored with a medley on the piano while the audience was gathering. Solos by Mr. Smith, Miss Lindsay and Mrs. Kenny, of Hullqar, IVJr. Geo.

Mr. Hansell of the Baptist Church, ?nd Rev. Capt. Gibson of the Methodist Church, each spoke warmly of the harmony existing between the Enderby churches, and congratulated their Presbyterian brethren on the generous service being rendered the community by them. In His opening remarks Rev. Mr. Stott spoke appreciatively of Mrs. A. L. Fortune, the pioneer in the church at Enderby, and a "resident of 45 or 50 years at this point. He escorted Mrs. Fortune to the platform, and the audience stood and gave an ovation lasting a few minutes. Community Road Building Another week's work will see the roadway from the school house to the city limits completely gravelled by the property owners along that roadway���������������������������and covered with the roadmak- ing material from the city's pit���������������������������the best in the country.

He .thinks the Okanagan is just- about tho best place yet... - Many Enderbyites " took advantage of the excellent weather and visited Kelowna for the stampede last week.

' ' ��������������������������� , A. Arnott, of Armstrong, was in the Enderby district last, week taking orders for fruit trees. Mr. Arnott knows fruit conditions, and he says the'ihjll lands in' this locality are ideal for the growing of winter_apples__and_ Police Commissioners Clear Up Moonlight Dance Moonshine pears. He quickly spotted the drawback in the orchards visited, here��������������������������� too many varieties, and not the kind for the winter market. Evangelist Hansell will hold a series of revival meetings in the' Baptist Church next week. Before entering the ministry Mr. Hansell was a successful cartoonist for daily papers and periodical, and his three-minute sketches are said to be an attraction which adds to his strong earnest Gospel message". He has held pastorates and done successful work in Vancouver, Calgary and other cities. Both he and Mrs. Mansell are welcomed by many in the Okanagan. Messrs.'Farmer, Adams and Mowat, the Enderby Opera House company, appeared before the board of Police Commissioners Tuesday night regarding the order sent .then?' by Mayor Barnes forbidding moonlight dancing. Speaking for his colleagues, Mr. Farmer stated that the order had come as" fa "bolt from the blue," as he was not aware of any irregularity in connection with the "dances held in the Opera House and he could not conceive how anyone could register a complaint against the moonlight waltz. He asked to be informed of the name of the complainant and the particular nature of the charge, as he deemed it most unfair that he and "his partners should be served with such a notice as had been served on them, without having been given an opportunity to hear the .complaint or ta learn the name of the person making the charge. He deemed it a cowardly procedure and one' obviously based upon a misconstruction utterly uncalled for. Mayor Barnes replied that he had Issued the order on the complaint of a citizen whom he believed to be dependable as to the nature of the complaint. He had not investigated the nature of the dances complained of, but was informed that'all lights in the hall ,were put out when - the moonlight' dances were given. u He could not imagine why anyone should wish to dance in tiie dark, and in face of the nature of the complaint, he, Jact: ing iu������������������his,official capacity, felt called upon in the public interest to exercise the authority of his position. He, did hot" feel called upon to divulge the" name, of the complainant, nor did he think it wise, to do so as it would only cause illfeeling unnecessarily. , Mr. Farmer denied that the room ever was in darkness during these dances. There was always a light for the musicians, another at the entrance and one in the box office, and there were no dark corners. Commissioner Coltart said he had been surprised to read in the press- the order given. He believed it was. the wrong procedure. If there was ca complaint registered it should come before the Commissioners and the, person oompla'ning should be compelled to face the one complained of. Then, if any action was deemed ne- - cessary it should^be taken by the police commissioners as a board. He had attended..many dances in the opera house ahd never had seen anything that could ' possibly be complained of by anyone of. clean mind himself. m - r p Commissioner Speers spoke in like, manner. He attended the dajices because he enjoyed" dancing. He be- . lieved others- did so, too. People who do not dance and cannot know the pleasure of * it, might imagine other things about it, and "what they Imagine is the measure of theirv own moral nature. Possibly it would be unsafe to trust oneself iri their company , in the dark^ or semi-darkness, but as far as he could see there was nothing in connection with moonlight waltz- that anyone could complain. of: He.felt that it was a mistake that the order should have* beenu issued.- 4 ***; 'With these explanations,- it was. deemed . sufficient that .publicity -be*-- given them through the:- Commoner^ _ which was satisfactory." to all" concerned.- "V/ S.7 '' "-;S~y -..--.: ' -. HELLO, MABEL LAKE! Enderby is awakening to the fact that otir auto drivers are most careless abejut parking their cars on the right side of the street.

NOTES X XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Miss M.Lidstone has gone to Woods Lake for a month or six weeks. G. Lidstone is confined tD his bed by a slight stroke of paralysis. All hope for Mr. Lidstone's speedy recovery. E. Shindlar is getting thei material on the ground for a new barn. The United Farmers here held their monthly meeting on Saturday night, and it was decided not to send a delegate to the convention at Penticton on Oct. 11th, but to'save all money to help out^the election fund. A cpm- pi'ttee was also elected to get up an entertainment to be held on November 11th in the school house. Already there is evidence,of greatly improved conditions ln the Mabel Lake Valley district, resulting from the installation of the telephone system from Enderby to the lake by the Okanagan Telephone Company.' It is to be seen in the new interest of settlers in the development of their properties, the new undertakings in clearing, and. in the preparations being made by them to bring under cultivation new acreage that has not had a plow iri It for years, if at all. The. line to \the lake was completed last week, and three phones, one at Hupel, one at the Dale home and one at the Warehouse, already have been installed. The balance of the^phones^to^go=in_are^to=be^installed shortly. A new spirit, of progress is getting hold of the valley, and we may look to see new conditions with regard to development in that locality. In this connection it is a pleasure to note that a better class of roadwork is being undertaken by the public works department, and if the present weather continues, the clay road from the Parkinson place to what is now the Harry farm, will have been gravelled before freezing up. "What's the Use" Within a very short time we will be in the turmoil of an election cam- paign aud from one end of the Dominion to the other the wouldbe saviours of our country wjLll endeavor to work up enthusiasm that will develop strong followings. They may succeed, but it will not be so easy as on former occasions." Many, many men will remain by their firesides and say "What's the use?" They will look upon the election campaign as nothing more than a scramble for place, for before now they have swallowed platforms and, suffered indigestion as a result of their, credulity. Really, there are pretty well defined limitation to the federal policies. It is chiefly a question of which crew is to man the ship���������������������������and take a bit of picking out of the cargo.���������������������������Kamloops Telegram. .

Markets Perserverance Counts Flour mndc from Okanagan wheat and milled in Vernon is now being offered to the public hy Vernon's newest industry, the Okanagan Farmers' Milling Company. Limited. These shareholders paid inlo lhc coffers of thc milling cow- puny nearly -$1-1,000, according to thc Vernon News, to establish in this cily flour mill, that now gives much promisc. This amount covers thc cost of plant and^cquipincnl only. Thc mill is located on Seventh Street opposite lhe Vernon Fruil Union. It is of thc most modern type and is capable of producing fifty hbls. of Hour daily but at present it is running ten hours and milling 20 hbls. *** . A week ago Saturday was the first day on which Hour was turned out in commercial quantities and judging by the fine bread" i'l'om Flavo sacks, housewives will lose no time in testing thc Vernon Hour, for those who have tried ii. declare it to bc very good. Largely Ihrough lhc efforts of Harry W. KnighJ has this mill become an accomplished fact. He has pcrscrvcrcd in the face of all obstacles. Mr. Wrighl, manager of the company, is most optimistic about the success of the company's venture and feels convinced that thc sale oV flour will bc up to expectations. Mr. Knight estimates tliat thc mill will require 5000 tons of wheat yearly. Rrobitv and Backbone The people of Canada havc become so accustomed to allowing thc newspapers to think for them lhal thcy blindly follow the dictum of the big city dailies .wherever it may lead them. Hence in Ihc present campaign wc arc going to see thc lime-worn tariff cry made thc issue which will color thc atmosphere. ' Tt is not to thc big city dailies that onc can look for any progressive move in thc direction of cleaner politics in Canada. Only thc weeklies are in a position to speak frankly of men, coipor. alions, institutions and events as they and their actions havc a bearing upon Ih.c interests of the people. And. while Ihesc weeklies may speak honestly and frankly, thcy can not carry the people with them wliile thc cily dailies are pulling in thc opposite direction. " . In Thc Leaser, a little weekly paper published a I New Denver by Jim drier, wc find this characteristic elucidation in this connection which should bc widely circulated. Speaking of present conditions in Canada Ihc Leaser says: "Never before was there such necessity for men of probity and backbone in the federal parliament. Thcrc is so much good that honest aiicui=cai-U(l(>,^an(Uso^niaivy^oppoi-tun'itics=foi^pai-t-y- Ihievcs fo ply lhcir calling, thai it behooves the elector to weigh carefully the character of the man for whom he is voting. Thc past is dead. Tt is lo thc future we must look for the betterment of conditions. It is not important what crimes or mistakes thc old parties have made, bul il is important lhat we should elect men who will profit by lhe errors of the past. "ll is very important that more care should be laken in admitting immigrants to Canada. "The Oriental question should be settled at once if we are going lo have a while Canada: "Rank securities with the government should he 100 per cenl. of Iheir note issue, instead of less than len per cenl. a.s ;il present. "Piigid economy should be practiced by the government and an annual surplus instead of a deficit. "The civil service should be reduced one-half lo give the half retained room in which, to work. "The public -works department should be run on * business lines, instead of at present a vote- bribing concern. "Then there is the. C. P. TV, its successive cabinets, and its dear old senate. Thc C. P. H. should be compelled to pay the salaries of senators. They are valueless to thc rest of Canada. Nothing can be done wilh the C. P. R. until there is an honest unbribable majorily in thc house." The dairy branch of the Provincial Department of Agriculture has issued Circular No. 1, dealing with lhe subject, "Starters for Farm Cheese-making/' This circular treats the subject in a manner that should make lhc information of great value to lhe farmer who desires lo learn cheese-making. Eight or nine years ago this paper pointed to the folly of Our fruitmen insisting on an excessive import tax on American fruit and thus riming the risk of having a counter tax imposed by the American shippers against Okanagan fruit going into the American market. Our argument \\*|as that thc American market offered far greater demand for Okanagan fruit than our home market, for thc reason that New York, Chicago and all thc big American cities had thousands who demanded the best fruit and had thc money to pay for il, whereas the Canadian market for A 1 apples' was extremely limited. Therefore, wc argued, it were better for our fruit men to forget about the import tax on apples and go into the larger American cities to find a. market. Our fruit men are now beginning to realize the. soundness of that argument. Okanagan apple shippers havc this season captured the best markets of the continent. New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Kansas City and many other cities are taking many cars from thc valley. Shipments from the beginning of thc season tojlast week totalled more than0 all the cars that left the Okanagan last year and thc first cars of winter apples have only started to roll to thc markets and the. most of them are0 going right across the prairies. When, a few weeks ago, the prairie markets which generally absorb thc greater part of the valley's fruit production, began to slow up, the shippers sought new markets and found them in the principal consuming centres of the Eastern States. It might seem like carrying coals to Newcastle to say apples this season are going not in one and two car lots, but by hundreds, to thc heavy apple producing Eastern States and to Ontario. Car after car has been rolled to Ontario and staid old Ontario apple-growers may be given a jolt or two during the.next few weeks when they see their northern spies, snows and talman sweets shoved to one sifcle and thc rosy-checked apples from British Columbia commanding the besl locations in thc fruit stands. Not only havc the apples moved to the eastern Canadian and prairie markets, but thej' have gone across the Atlantic where thcy are also being eagerly sought by discriminating fruiterers." \ "- 0 The apple crop on thc American continent this season is short; in fact it. is. about fifty.ipcr cent, of last year and but fifty per cent, of thc ten year average. New York state which grows thousands of barrels of apples, every year lias very few apples to market this fall, while other high producing sections of lhe United States havc fallen far below the usual yields. Into this breach the far-seeing Okanagan shippers stepped and are nowj supplying the bulk of the high-class apples for the American best trade. Thc prairie provinces are not. py any means being forgotten, as there are sufficient apples to go round. Prices on the New York market, according to thc fruit trade papers arc good and show that on somc of the Jjctter varieties tlie f. o. b. price Okanagan points wiJJ.be better than $2.75. Jn referring to tlie heavy movement of the 3rifcish Columbia appjes to the United Slates and. the markets this season the Chicago Produce News has the following article in which reference is made to the work which was done in establishing the new connections by C. ]7. Uowe, sales manager of the Okanagan United Growers, the big co-operative fruit-packing concern of thc valley. "Judging from the sales of boxed appjes in this=marketrithcBritish^eoliim,bia==shippers"=are pulling it all over the American growers, as the great bulk of the boxed apples Being sold here now are from Canada. When C. ]L. Lowe, sales manager of thc Okanagan United Crowd's, was in New York last summer, he made arrangements with Slcinhardt and Kelly to handle his account. This was undoubtedly a wise movu on bis part as1 the results show. "Lasl week the lolal offerings of British Columbia apples in Ihis markcl amounted to approximately thirty-five cars, while during the same period only ten cars of American apples were sold. This morning there were seven cars of apples on the Erie pier, all of whicb wilh the exception of onc car were fiom British" Columbia. Thc only variety being offered now is thc Wealthy. No. 2s of lhis variety sell at an average of $3 a box. Several cars of No. Is sold around $1. These arc extraordinary."'prices when it is considered that the Wealthy is not an apple particularly liked by New York consumers. "The manipulation of this crop showed such good salcmanship on the part of Mr. Lowe, who just snatched about two or three weeks when he knew the New York market would he bare of fruit, and cleaned up a handsome profit for his growers. This has bcen thc biggest surprise sprung on the local market for a number of years, and is entirely due to the foresight of Mr. Lowe and his unerring judgment in doping out a condition which did not occur to any of thc other sales managers in* thc Northwest. Mr. Lowe will probably have New York to himself for his shipments for the ncxt two or three weeks, as he has about 100 cars rolling, and there is very little other desirable fruit in the Northwest available for New York at present."

To the demands of those trying years it ihas devoted there used to bc onc thought uppermost in the mind of parents and children alike���������������������������Grit and Tory. Thcrc was no halfmcasurc about il at that time. And the farmers���������������������������and farmers' boys- were always prepared to but up a fight for it. It was part of thc daily bread and began with the morning prayer. Thc picture of Sir John A. MacDonald graced lhc front page of our family bible. And by the same token, that of Alexander Mackenzie served a like purpose in the good book in our neighbor's homc. 'At a very early age, as, was the habit of those staunch early Ontario pioneers, I was taught lo stand up in the, high chair and "hurrah for John A. Macdonald." : It was usually, for the candy drop that I did so, not that I had any particular love or knowledge of Sir John A. Biit the habit, once acquired, sticks. And I remember well ho\v proud they were, of me for so small a service. When I look back upon those days, in the 70s- 80s, and recall how desperately thc politicians , ��������������������������� ��������������������������� ��������������������������� then in power and seeking powcr, sought to win greasing them." And it is up to you to answer to the-support of thc farmers of Ontario; and remember the loyalty and, conservatism of those good old families of Ontario's sod, it leaves a sting in the heart when one reads what the Hon. Arthur Mcighcn is saying of thc present-day farmers of that good old province. There must be a lot of people all over Canada who feel as I do, for the seed of-that early Ontario stock has blown pretty-much all over the dominion. Those Ontario farmers were pretty good fellows���������������������������the seed and the backbone of the dominion���������������������������when thcy were satisfied to scrap each other and vole the old party ticket. But when thcy stopped fighting each other and got together in a party of their own, they iirmiediately are. branded a dangerous bunch and wreckers of established government. It makes one laugh to hear so much Big Stuff about thc danger hovering over us cs the result of the farmers' awakening. It was only a year or two ago that thcy were tne saviors of thc country.. Today thc same political leaders tell us thcy are the most dangerous" breed of malcontents. Of course, Canadians know better. But what gets me is that men���������������������������political leaders^���������������������������think thcy can put this kind of Big Stuff over. The worst; pest today is the pessimist. Strength comes from struggle; weakness from ease. And, wjhethcr you believe it or not, it has come to this: Enderby and district must go forward together^ or go down together. Now is the time to decide which it is to bc. Progress cannot come if we arc more engaged in blocking the wheels than in yourself which course you arc taking to serve thc community. Are you blocking thc way of others because you yourself are not prepared to go forward? Are you aiming to defeat the project you yourself failed to-accomplish? Are you'the"grit that binds and holds the machinery? Are you the spark plug that won't function? :m^ M&u. From latest photc of Premier Meighen A;C. SJCAJ4NG, p. A.

In his manifesto .Premier Meighen once more insists that the main issue bf the. election must be the tariff. t He believes that it is necessary for the welfare of the Dominion that-the tariff, wall be maintained. , "Against the tariff proposals of Hon." Mackenzie King and all whom, in" this contest he represents, against the tariff proposals of Mr. Wood and Mr. Crerar and all whom tbey represent, I ask. the people of Canada to pronounce/ "Already there is unsettlement of business conditions resulting in unemployment and loss to all classes, a persistent anti-protection campaign, resulting in unrertainty and lack of confidence, has so disturbed and .curtailed production as to account for ma'hy thousands being out of work today. "A decisive verdict by the Canadian people will be the signal for returning confidence, for renewed productive activity and for better times. The laboring people of our country willJj_e_=the__.firs_t^.to_=b.eiiefit__by=.sucli__a verdict and would . be the heaviest sufferers should the tried and proven policy of this country be exchanged for manifestly fallacious policies." It is a long and exhausive statement which the premier issues, but the public will know exactly where he stands and why. And the final appeal which he makes is to the women electorate. . That is historical, for not before has/a- Canadian premier in going to the country had the privilege of so doing, this general election being the first at which women will have the franchise. .It is to them he refers in his concluding paragraph: '*" . "Through the long struggle of the war the women of our country proved themselves equal with men in stern, unselfish patriotism and feivent devotion.- to duty. . t confidently hope that in the execution of the trust reposed in them now,.they will prove to ;be a steadying *' and enlightening force In-our public life,"'that they will show for the men an example of public conduct dictated " by love of country alone and thus will vindicate to all the world their right to share with men responsibility for public affairs."0 , " ' _ Uncertainty over the date of polling iiv the federal elections was removed last Thursday afternoon when .formal annoucemenf was made that Pecemher 6 had been selected by the government.

WALKER PRESS, ENDERBY . In his great London, speech, Mr. Meighen showed fcow Innocent he was of.-the"seamy side of the history of protection in Canada, which, like the history of any country written by its own historians, Is with him a r_ec.ord_of__honor_._and..glory.__g_e___tells_ us that "we decided on that course deliberately, with our eyes open, and have sustained It ever since against every form of attack and every character of foe." His historic instructors do not seem to have told him the romantic tale of Its Red Room birth; how tho manufacturers got together and made an offer to Mr. Mackenzie, then Prime Minister, of their collective and powerful support if he would give them protection. Mr. Mackenzie was adamant, and Sir Hichard Cartwrtght, then Finance Minister, was repellant as one repels the Tempter. They turned to Sir John Macdonald, anxious to get back to the seat from which the "Pacific scandal" had dethroned him, with thc same offer. He also declared he was a free trader, but then���������������������������.he objected to "jug-handled free trade." He could make a campaign on the principle of reciprocity of trade or reciprocity of taiiffs.,. The tariff was brought In professedly for the purpose of forcing a return to reciprocity on the par^ of the United States. Pilgrimages were made from time to time to Washington, to plead for reciprocity of trade. At one time Sir Chailes Tupper was announced to be returning in triumph with reciprocity in his pocket. That was however, immediately contradicted officially from Washington. When the Liberals got Into power they renewed the quest, as In duty bound; but received ww |������������������wjt af Ifie Omar 4$ 0NE was owned by a man who thought he knew ai =was the home of-one-who-Hstened-to cxpcrience.^One-painted \me NJ������������������ was owned by a man who thought he knew and the other was the home of-one-who-listened-to cxpcrience;=One-painted��������������������������� for.effect, thinking that any paint that looked nice would do ���������������������������the other'knowing that surface protection was more important than ^decoration, painted regularly for protection.
