Or. Dickson presented a statement of accounts in connection
with the Irrigation Convention.
The expenses, he said, had been
kept vary much lower than had
been anticipated and the $500
grant from the Association would
cover all outlay except $123.50,
nearly all of which was for additional motor car hire and the cost
of repairing an auto which had
been damaged. The rest, amounting to $9, was deficit on the excursion to Penticton.
The small figure at which the
expense had been kept was partly
due to the kindness of Aid. Sutherland who had supplied beds for
the use of the delegates without
any charge. It was not necessary
now said the doctor to refer to the
success of the convention, but he
would like to point out that through
it Kelowna had received an enormous amount of valuable publicity
and at very little cost.
Aid. Sutherland said the council
were very grateful to Dr. Dickson
for his splendid work as sacretaiy
of the convention. He had not
only worked hard for convention
but had done a great amount of
publicity work in the way of writing articles for outside papers.
The following resolution was
passed: —
" That the city council express
their appreciation of the valuable
services which Dr. Dickson had
rendered to the city and district
while acting as secretary of the
Western Canada Irrigation Association by tendering him a hearty
vote of thanks, the same to be
placed on the minutes of the
council."
In thanking the council for their
resolution Dr. Dickson said he
would like to see the publicity
work which he had been doing
carried on. The notices to the
different papers should be kept up
at the surest way of letting the
outside world know what was going on in Kelowna.
He also drew attention to the
special meeting of the Irrigation
Association which had been called
for January 9th and 10th next in
Victoria to discuss matters of
special interest to British Columbia.
The executive of the? Association
had appointed him secretary for
B.C. and he hoped the special«von-
vention would be a great success.
He advised the council to be ready
to bring any mailers in which
they were interested before that
meeting.

The Board of Trade held its regular' monthly meeting Tuesday.
One ol the important matters dealt

had been sent to the government
to consliuct the few miles of road

It was staled that there was some
difficulty in getting a man to mow
the streets at any price, owing ro
the (act that lhe wire and rubbish
which accumulated at the road
sides very soon put a machine out
of commission.
Aid. Copeland reported lhat the
Board of Works had inspected the
tracks which the C.P.R. were laying to the cannery, and Imperial
Oil Co.', building. Representatives
of each firm had promised to have
the road fixed up to the satisfaction
of the council.
Aid. Copeland made the suggestion that the city place lights on
the different bridges in town. The
bridges seemed to be mostly in
dark, lonely places and it was very
difficult for anyone driving at night
to see their way over.
On the suggestion of Aid. Copeland the clerk was instructed to
write the C P.R. with respe*ct to the
condition of the wharf. Thia, he
said, was in a disgraceful stale.
Owing to lack of room in the freight
heda, stuff v. us littered all over the
vharf, scarcely giving standing
room. Fruit too, it was mentioned
was left lying in the sun without
any protection.
Aid. Copeland brought up the
rnatter of endeavoring to secure
excursion rates into the Okanagan
but it waa thought better to leave
this for the consideration of the
Board of Trade.
Aid. Taylor said he had been
asked to bring before the council
the suggestion that the building inspector be instructed to inspect
the cornices of the large buildings
in town, as torn: were said to he
in an unsafe condition.
Mayor Jones said the inspector
would be asked to do this and submit a written report.
Consideration was given for
some time to arrangements for the
visit of the Duke of Connaught and
party to Kelowna on the 5th of
next month. Aid. Sutherland, Aid.
Raymer and the Mayor were up-
pointed to draw up an address lo
be presented to His Royal Highness, and Aid. Taylor and Aid.
Copeland to prepare a book of
photographs of the district to accompany the address.
It was also decided to ask lhe
merchants and citizens to decorate
their stores and houses.
Aid. Sutherland drew the attention of lhe Chief conatable who
was present to the number of boys
who were firing off rifles within the
city. It seemed to be becoming
quite a common practice on the
north side of the town near his
house.
The chief promised to give the
matter his attention.
The meeting then adjourned.

The Minister of Public Works
also wrote saying that the request
ol the Board had been handed lo
Mr. H. Lang with instructions to
report.
Mr. S. T Elliott was not disposed
lo let lhe matter stand at ihis. He
did nol think it was such a huge
undei taking. He proposed that a
committee be appointed lo meet
Mr. Lang in Kelowna and go over
th^ ground with him, The president appointed M.'ssis, Hereron,
R.'S. Hall, and S.T. Elliott.
Another Important mailer was
brought up In a letter from Mr. W
C. Scott, ol the Dept. of Agriculture,
respecting lhe provincial exhibit of
fruit, etc., which was lo be made
at the Dry Farming Congress al
Lethbridge in October. The B.C.
government had taken 260 feet of
wall space and was allotting this to
various districts to advertise their
resources. A space 10 x 12 feel
would be available for Kelowna. I
Each district must provide fruit etc.
ernment would pay all cost of col
lecting same and transportation
chargss, as well as arrange the exhibit and look after the disposal of
the fruit when the convention
closed. It was decided after much
discussion lv take advantage of the
offer and t/ask M. F. R. E. DeHart
lo look after the selection and purchase of the fruit on behalf of the
Board.
In connection with the promise
of the Board to take space in the
Progress Club building at Vancouver, the secretary presented a formal application to be signed by
the Board, and a good deal of time
was spent in discussing the kind of
exhibit required. Il was decided
however that as the Publicity committee had the matter in hand they
should be asked to report to the
Board.
Mr. P. DuMoulin said he thought
the Board was overdoing the exhibiting business and should turn
their attention and spend their
money in making the city more
attractive,nnd following up visitors.
A letter from a gentleman who
had paid a passing visit to Kelowna on lhe " scant attention " which
he had received at a local hotel
raised a heated discussion on what
promises lo be a " burning " question—the utter inadequacy of the
city's hotel accommodation, and
the independent air assumed by
some proprietors in consequence
of the " cinch " thus afforded them.
The strongest indignation was expressed at a stale of affairs which
was holding the city back and
seriously interfering with ila development.
Mr. J. B. Knowles said that matters would not improve until there
waa a good hotel built. There had
been several projects started and
he would like lo see some of them
developed.
Mr. P. DuM..ulin suggested that
a public meeting of the citizens be
called to discuss the situation and
lo endeavour to arrive at some
decision as to which scheme would
be of greatest benefit to the city.
A resolution to this effect was
passed and a committee consisting
of Messrs. R. A; Copeland, P.
DuMoulin and J. B. Knowles appointed to make preparations and
gather information to put before
the meeting.
Mr. Lionel E. Taylor on  behalf
of a committee appointed to inquire
into the proposal  to  establish an
toIexperimental Term  in  the valley.
! presented the following report :—
Gentlemen,
At your request we have looked into lhe
matter of Experimental Farm, and Demon-
atr.tion Farm, in the province, and find
that there are no Provincial Experimental
Farm, for fruit in the province. There
are, however, fifteen demonatration orch.
arda established by the provincial authorities. They are aituated, aa you will aae
in the attached letter in almoat every district except the Okanagan.
There are no report, available of iheae
Provincial Demonstration Farma. That
there are none in the Okanagan we have
reaaon to believe ia owing to the position
which our present member took on the
subject. Il waa clearly demonstrated in
the late scare about Fire Blight how ee.cn-
tial the Okanagan ia to the fruil growing in
the province and the nervous apprehension
apparently felt at head quarlera when the
induatry waa menaced appear* to ua to be
a true critertion by which we may judge
the importance of the Okanagan.
There ia alao to be considered the great
value of intensive cultivation and how by
intensive cultivation small holding, are encouraged and how conducive this ia to a
dense population, a point not to be overlooked.
So long a. Okanagan Lake anil it. own
particular climate and environment are adequately recognised, we do not think that
it ia a matter of great import where in par.
ticular tin. Experimental Fruit Farm ia
situated. We also feel that it ia an Experimental farm rather than a demon.nation
orchard that ia our need and we think that
the provincial author itie. ahculd give their
fujleet aupporr and influence lo our appli
cation to Ottawa for the eetablishment of
a Dominion Experimental Farm.
It might here be noted that Agsssiz haa
now been handed over exclusively to
.lock.
On going into the matter of the necessity of thi. experimental farm, we have
been greatly impressed by the pre.sing
need of it. We instance llie codling moth
outbreak, lire blight at Summerland, the
vexed question of tarietiea, pollenization
including the aale wintering of apiariea,
the control of silver leaf by .praying, tha
occurrence of gummoai., the effect of irrigation on treea and fruit, the amount of
water required, the proper lime, for applying it, the e.tabli.hment ol the duty of
water, cover cropping tu prevent winter injury, the atandardi.ing of pruning, alao
trimmer pruning for word ripening, the
nee of ariiftcal manurea in orchard., the
smudging of aweet cherriea and early fruit
a. a preventative of early Iruala injuring
them. Theae are but a few point, and it
should be remembered that the vn.t majority of fiuitgrowere of the Okanagan are
not experienced Orchardiata but are vet
learning their business and di.intereeted
advice and practical demonstration ia of
the utmost importance since, however
kindly and well meaning neighbora advice
he may be unwittingly advising the wrong
thing, though he-practice, it himself.
Eatimates of fruit grown in the Okanagan vary so much that no particular one
can be quoted but thay all agree that th.
tonnage will be very far in excess of any
oth.r district in B.C., and with th. preaent
acreage planted out and what ia Mill and
will in the near future be planted, it
ea.ity aeen that th. fruit induatry of th.
province will largely depend on lhe Okanagan Valley.
In a few yeara a farm such aa ia prop.
oaed ihould practically pay for itself off
the crop, of fruit grown on it. Thia ia not
always the caae in new and untned ,diat-
ricls, or perhaps even in district, un.uitad
for fruit growing, and should be a strong
claim for consideration with the Dominion
Government.
The need of such a farm has bean em.
phasized by all expert, who have been in
the district. We may quoto Dr. Fortier
and Prof. Lewis, two of th. foremost «x.
ports on the continent, not to mention
many other, whose experience entitlea
them to con.ideralion.
We .liquid recommend than that th.
Board pus* a resolution putting these facta
before the Provincial and Dominion government.. We should alao recommend
that the various Boarda of Trad, in th.
Okanagan be approached to give their cordial aupport to tin. and to use all their influence in the matter. We would again
reiterate the fact that so long as the experimental farm be aituated in the Okanagan
and within measurable distance of Okana-
agan Laka il does not matter where th.
•sect locality eventually is.
We have the honor to be, Sir,
LIONEL E. TAYLOR.
WALTER R. POOLEY.
Mr. Taylor pointed out that the
director of expeiimental farms
would be in Vernon the first weak
in October and an endeavor should
be made to get him here to meet
the Board. It was decided to send
a night lettergram to the Department of Agriculture asking that
the director be instructed to come
to Kelowna.
Aid. Copeland urged the Board
to take steps to induce the C.P.R.
to issue excursion tickets to the
Okanagan from the prairies. Hitherto all excursions had run straight
through to the coast, and anyone
wishing to come down the valley
had to pay ordinary fare from
Sicamous.
Mr. R. B. Kerr spoke on the need
of two daily trains and boat connections for the valley which he
believed was far behind other
parts of Western Canada in railway
service. It was left with him to
take the matter up with the C.P.R.
Other matters discussed were the
local telegraph service, the need of
the mail box on the wharf, and the
replacing of the sign "Kelowna"
on the wharl.
Mr. P. DuMoulin complained of
the appalling odour from the nuisance  ground, and urged  that the

Suicide at the Landing
Francia Hart Creswell, son of the
late postmaster of Dublin, Ireland,
and brother of the chief architect
in the colonial office, London,
committed suicide last week at
Okanagan Landing,
He had been working on sidewalk construction in Vernon and
went down to the Empire ranch,
half a-inile from hia home, on lhe
bench above Okanagan Landing,
and where he had been shown at
great deal of kindness, and, no
one being about but the cook,
selected a six-shooter and blew his
brains out. Hia mind had been
unhinged for some eighteen
months, he being obsessed by the
unfounded idea that he had contracted an incurable disease.
The deceased was a man of
about 40 years of age, his nearest
relative baing • brother in Bella
Coola. B.C
The police had made arrangements to have the unfortunate
man put under the care of the
province, a constable being sent to
the Landing later in the evening,
only to find that the tragedy that
they feared had already happened.
The government is considering
the desirability of excluding thr
English militant suffragists, whi.

consisting of Serg. R. C. Bennett,

stay in the province.
Ths tobacco crop of the district
comprising some 110 acres is now
practically all safely harvested, only
a few acres at West Bank remaining to be gathered in.. The crop
has been a remarkably good one
both in yield and quality. Dr.
Dickson had twenty acres in tobacco and lhe sheds which were built
it is supposed large enough to easily accomodate this acreage, have
proved loo small to house lhe enormous quantity of fine planta
which were hauled from thr field.

drawn to it.
Mr. M. Hereron spoke on lhe
proposed protective woik on thai
banks of Mission creek, and pointed out that the work should be
done this fall to be of any use.
A new switching engine w> s
made on Vancouver Island, Mr.
Pitcairn informed the Board to

method of moving cars on the

engineer's report on the engine was
unfavorable and it had to be
scrapped.

(From our own correspondent)   _  The Rev. and Mrs. R.iberlson,  jf Oknnagan Centre were visiting  Mr. and Mrs. Seelev on Wednesday of last'week.   ���  The Misses Wentworlh and  Chapmand, and Messrs. Cassar and  Gibson were visitors at the west  side on luesduy lust.  Mr. G. A. Batchelor is busy  superintending tbe improvement  ol his beautiful property on the  Wilson Landing Hut adjacent to the  wharf. It has long waited for its  proper share of attention and  doubtless will soon give ample  proof of its many possibilities. For  one thing the land there is particularly early. It also has a fine  beach, the best in fact for many  miles along the lake shore.  On Tuesday evening, th- 17th,  Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Leney entertained a parly of thirty of their  friends. A dainty and appetizing  high tea awaited their arrival at  5.30 p.m., afterwards the time being  spent in music, dancing, blind  man's buff and other time-honoured games. The hours passed ull  too quickly until midnight when  refreshments were again demanded. Liter many expressions of  appreciation were showered upon  the genial host and hostess as  their guests took leave of them.  Venison is not by any means a  common subject for culinary effort  about here this season except in  the case of Mr. G. A. Batchelor  who a week ago had an experience  of an excellent piece of pot-luck in  that direction. He was returning  to the ranch in the evening and  noticed some animal swimming  ahead of his launch. On close inspection it proved to be a fine  four-point buck. Putting into the  shore Mr. Batchelor collected his  44 and Mr. Thos. Gibson. Continuing this new style of hunting  ihey again gave chase nnd succeeded in roping the animal which  after a couple of shots was soon  in a condition lo bring to land.  Few, if any, medecinea have met with  the uniform aucce,. that has attended the  u.e of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and  Diarrhoea Remedy. The rumarltable cure.  of colic and diarrhoea which it ha? eflected  in almost every neighborhood have given  it a wide reputation.

Don, the Equine Spy  The production of this two thousand-foot masterpiece," Hit Equine  Spy," was successfully consummated after a total waste of eighteen  hundred feet of negative. This  waste was not due to any oversight  or lhe lack of efficiency of the director in charge or the bone-head-  edness of the camera man. A combination of unavoidable accidents,  or lather incidents, caused the  waste to stretch to such extraordinary lengths. While it is Hue that  the producer worked wilh the most  intelligent animal in the) world, it is  also true that intelligent animals  like some intelligent persons will  sometimes misunderstand'and thus  cause waste and trouble. As for  instance, Don, who plays the title  role in "The Equine Spy " was told  to fetch a tin pail. Instead he  stretched forth his sinuous neck,  opened his jaws and tried to swallow Darwin Kan's head, it is certain this intelligent animal didn't  mean this as a reflection on Karr���  for Darwin's head is not as empty  as a tin pail-���any intelligent horse  wilh the horse-sence of Don would  know this. At any rate, this incident was registered at lhe cost ol  a hundred or more feet of film.  But lhe final results tell the tale.  Only an inveterate grouch of a  manufacturer would grumble at the  mere waste of even ten thousand  feet of negative after an exhibition  on (he screen of compelling and  dominating Don, delightfully going  through his capers with almost  human intelligence. Really Don  is a horse with a personality. He  is as endearing and |dclectable as  a remarkable child. He steals papers and lights bonfires with more  than animal instinct or trainirg. I le  does things wilh a natural trace  that ia seemingly bom to him.  " The Equine Spy" will be  shown at Dreamland on Monday,  September 23rd.  f.lWillllllllillllllllli'l           ,  IWIKI  [iliiinn,  t  NOTICE  PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given (lint  the Canadian PaciBc Railway Company  did depoait in the Land Registry Office in  the City of Kamloops, Province of Biitish  Columbia, on the 29th August, 1912, under  No. 1,088, Plan, Profile and Book of Reference, of proposed spur track to be constructed by the aaid Company in the City  of Kelowna, in the Province of Britiah  Columbia, aaid apur track being shown as  creasing Hay net -Avenue and Block* 25  and 29 (to the premises of George' Row-  t'ltifr), and that thirty days after thia not.  ice or aa soon thereafter as the application  can ba heard, the Canadian Pacific Railway  Company intends to apply to the Board of j  Railway Commissioners for Canada for \  authority to construct and operate the  aforesaid apur.'
