AUGUST 25, 1910. $1.50 Per Annum. Westbank Passes Resolution. Enthusiastic Meeting the Lake. Across The question of the government control of irrigation systems has already aroused considerable interest on both sides oi the lake, and an enthusiastic meeting, the first of a series planned by the special committee of the Kelowna Farmers' Institute, took place Mon day evening at Westbank. A party consisting of Dr. Dickson,. Mr. M. Hereron, and the secretary, Mr. A. R Muirhead, crossed the lake Monday afternoon to be present at the meeting, which was held in the school-house under the chairmanship of Mr. Robinson. There was a large gathering of Westbank farmers and fruit growers. Dr. Dickson was the first speaker. He outlined the movement which had been started as a result of the unsatisfactory state of irrigation in this and other districts, and gave a brief account of the proceedings at the recent Irrigation Convention at Kamloops, where a resolution had been presented, and, though in-a modified form, carried/asking the government to take over the irrigation water supply. He strongly urged that the,farmers ofthe district should be united in this matter, and go solidly in favor of the government taking up the whole problem and by means of dams and reservoirs, conserving the water now going to waste and thus being able to furnish &n adequate supply. ; i He read over the resolution which had been drawn up '"fay. the subcommittee of the Farmer's Institute and which appears in another column asking the meeting to endorse it. A good discussion followed, mpst of the speakers being enthusiastically in favor of government control. Mr. M. Hereron made some pointed remarks as to the unsatisfactory working of the present system, and Messrs. Blackwood (Westb'k), C. Hitchner, Muirhead, Meurling, Dundas, Marrin, DeLatour, and others contributed to the discussion. The resolution eventually received the unanimous endorsement of the meeting. Mr, Dan McLean reports this week a very substantial revenue from some trees of his fine old orchard on the Vernon road. Nine Red Astrachan trees averaged $20 per tree hot counting windfalls or culls. .This is the kind of news we like to hear about; it illustrates not alone what can be done, but what is being done in the district. Taking fifty trees to the acre this would give the handsome return of $1000 per acre, for about an expenditure of two months labor ih all in the year. * Miss Annie Gay, of Rutland, entertained members of her Sunday school class on Tuesday afternoon. Although the weather was cool, the youngsters managed to enjoy themselves thoroughly and developed good appetites by supper time. 15 scholars with their teacher were photographed during the afternoon by Mr. Gray. Miss P. Louise Adams, A.T.C.M. returned Thursday from her holiday trip t° , the coast. She will be pleased to meet any of her old music pupils, and any others desirous of taking lessons on the piano, at her studio as early as possible so that lessons can be arranged before September. An examiner from the Toronto Conservatory of Music is expected here next summer, and any who wish to enter for the examination should begin their studies immediately. School opens on Monday, 29th. An effort was made to obtain an extension of time for the finishing of the new school, but this has not bcwi found powibl*. Infected Fruit Must Not Be Offered For Sale. " Infected home-grown fruit will not be permitted to be sold this year. The regulations governing the same will be strictly enforced." This is the dictum of Mr. Thomas Cunningham, provincial inspector of fruit pests. It was given to The Province in order that the inform^ ation may be spread among fiuit growers in all parts of the province. " After all the education that has been given to the people in regard the importance of spraying, and all the assistance that has been given to fruit growers, it is unreasonable to expect that growers who neglect the care of their trees will be permitted to put infected fruit on the market to break down the price of fruit produced by careful growers," continued Mr. Cunningham. " The design of this strict enforcement of the regulations is to force the . growers to adopt up^to-date methods, increase their revenue and keep up the splendid reputation which this province has already obtained for its fruit. It is the intention of the department to make spraying compulsory as soon as the trees have become dprmant this fall. There will be no exception to the rule. Fruit growing land in British Columbia has become so valuable that it can no longer be permitted to be encumbered with with diseased and infected trees. We owe it to ourselves to make the best possible use of every acre of land in British Columbia and we owe it to the industrious and enterprising grower to protect him from the carelessness and indifference of his neighbors who may neglect the proper care of their treea. ,, "Showing the necessity of the 'protection which is- accorded the fruit growing industry of British Columbia, I wish to state that no less than 61 shipments of American fruit have been condemned in Vancouver since July 1. This shows it is up to our own people to put none but goody fruit on the market. A , -'_". 'A,' "There will be a very fair crop throughout the province of British Columbia this season. It is probable that the entire crop will be three times as large as that of any in the history of the province. It is expected that 1000 carloads of fruit will be shipped out of the Okanagan Valley alone. The reports of conditions in the Kootenay are exceedingly favorable. On the lower mainland the yield will be better than the average and the same applies to Vancouver Island. It will be readily seen, therefore, on the. whole, compared with pur friends in the east, British Columbia is greatly favored this year. Where the orchards .have been carefully sprayed the fruit bids fair to be excellent quality, but in orchards which have been neglected a great deal of fruit will be unfit for market." Next Thursday, Sept. I st, Mrs. Campbell is to give a tea in connection with the Ladies' Hospital Aid, at their Sunniside Ranch, at Westbank. Tea will be served at 4:30. Mr. Campbell has kindly consented to convey visitors over in his launch starting from Kelowna at 1:45 p.m. and again at 3 p.m. A charge of 25 cents is made for return trip on the lake and 15 cents for tea. Come along and help the Hospital. Mr. Geo. Whelan met with a nasty accident whilsjt driving Sunday last. Meeting an auto in an awkward place near the five bridges and with a.nervous horse, he was thrown clear out of the rig, alighting upon his head. He was. a heavy man, and received a fearful jarring, his head also being severe, ly cut. After being, attended attended to. by a medical man, a few days rest fortunately saw him over the worst of it. Mr. R. E. Harriss and family returned Tuesday from their long holiday in Trinidad, They were accompanied by two dusky native, servants whom they have brought with them from their West Indian | horn*. . \ City Council Meeting. Insanitary Conditions in Chinatown Again Brought Up. A meeting of the city council was held last Saturday; evening, the Mayor, Aid. Leckie, Harvey and Cox being present. The minutes of last meeting having been read and adopted, the following accounts were referred to the finance committee, to be paid if found correct: John Laidlaw, work in park... $ 41 70 Water" Works ' paysheet for two weeks, ending Aug.' 13..........».•• 143 94 The following motion was passed : " That the assessment on blocks 15 and 5 Nfqr cement sidewalks be reduced to a point in line with actual cost of same, viz : from 37c. to 29c. per foot front" Mr. G. C. Rose, who was present, drew the attention of the. council to the fact that he was still assessed for the wooden sidewalk which had s'nce been replaced by a cement one. The sidewalk t in question had been removed"by the council and made use of some- where else. He therefore asked for the assessment to be . removed too. ' The following motion was accordingly passed : " That G. C. Rose be given a rebate of $5.20 on account of assessment for plank sidewalk in front of Lot I, block 13." ■■ •A letter was read from Messrs. W. A. McKenzie & Co.,of Toronto, the purchasers of debentures issued under the Water Works Extension By-law, asking that the tinie.in which they could take delivery of the bondd should be extended thirty days. This was granted. . Aid. Harvey reported that he had had a man at work cutting weeds on the streets, and that most of the work had been done. Aid. Leckie drew attention to certain insanitary and unsightly buildings in Chinatown and asked if nothing could be done to have them removed. Aid. Cox said (hat the matter had been gone into last year along with the health officer. He said, however, that they would visit the place again and see if anything could be.done. By-law No. 80, which strikes the rate of taxation for the year at a total of 23£ mills was reconsidered and finally passed.

A large crowd of children and adults thronged the park. Mr. F. R. E. DeHart, who is never so happy as when helping others to enjoy themselves, had his motor launch busy all the afternoon carrying parties of delighted youngster. The children's sports, too, were great events, and a long programu.e of running, jumping, potato races, and the like, excited unbounded juvenile enthusiasm.

And they cleared that spread in fine shape. , After supper the gathering gradually dispersed, feeling that they had had a glorious time right here at home, without the trouble and expense of making a long journey. Mr. and Mrs. Downing, who have been spending a few weeks at th« noait, returned Tt_«»day Inst. At the last general meeting of the Farmer's Institute a special committee consisting of representatives from each district around Kelowna, was appointed to formulate a plap of action in the movement to induce the government to take over the irrigation system. This committee held its first meeting last Saturday in Raymer's Hall. There was a good attendance most of the .delegates appointed being present. The first step in the campaign it was felt, should be to place the matter before the farmers in the district and to get as far as possible the support and signature of everyone behind the resolution. It was decided to hold meetings in every district at which the question could be thoroughly discussed and a resolution pre ented for endorsment. A long discussion then took place as to the exact form which the petition should take. To a subcommittee of four, consisting of Dr. Dickson, Mr. Pridham, Mt. Smith, and Mr. D. W. Sutherland was eventually delegated the task of drawing up the following resolution which.,will be presented at each of the meeting as arranged: " Whereas the existing conditions in connection with the control and distribution of the water for irrigation, purposes are far from satisfactory, in certain . districts of British Columbia, resulting in excessive waste, inadequate supply and inequitable distribution,' often leading to costly litigation, and whereas large tracts of land remain undeveloped in consequence.of the lack of systematic conservation, be it-resolved that we, the land holders of the Okanagan District, respectfully request that the Government of British Columbia take immediate action with a view to solving the problem, by introducing a system of Government control, conservation, and operation of the water supply for irrigation purposes, by the construction of reservoirs and distributing systems in this district." Meetings were arranged to be held at the following places: Monday; Aug. 22nd, at Westbank; Rutland, Saturday, Aug. 27th, at 8:30 p.m. in thepublichall; Ellison, Tuesday, Aug. 30th at 7:30 p.m.,in the s'chqolhouse; South Okanagan, on Wednesday Aug. 31 st, at 7:30 p.m., in tha schoolhouse ; Benvoulin,Thursday/ September 1st, at 7(30 p.m., in the schoolliouse; K. L.O., Friday, September 2nd, at 7.30 p.m., in Mr. Allan's house. It was decided that the appointed delegates from each district were tp take charge of the arrangements for the meeting in their particular district, and it was left with the secretary tb have notices printed which could be forwarded to them for posting in conspicuous places announcing the time and place of such meetings. Wedding Bells St., Michael and- all Angel's church has been the scene of two interesting weddings within the Inst week. The first was on Thursday.afternoon last, at 1:30, when Oliver Dendy was married to Mary Annette Hewison. ' Mr. Arnold H, S. Etrington acted as best man, and the; bride was given away by Mr. E. M. Carruthers. ' On Wednesday morning at 7:30 a.m. the marriage took place of Alan William Russell Cowan to Miss Emily Harris Goatling.

Okanagan Fruit to be Displayed at Winnipeg British Columbia's fine fruit which has been too little known heretofore to be properly appreciated in the East, will, beginning this fall be exhibited annually in Winnipeg through the efforts of the Okanagan Fruit Union and the Canadian Pacific railway. Arrangments have been completed, according to the advice from Mr. W. B. Lanigan of the CP.R. to have the T. Eaton Company give its fourteen large show windows on Portage avenue, the principal business street of Winnipeg, for two days in September for a display of a car of the finest peaches grown in the Okanagan Fruit Union, again about the first of November, for an exhibition of British Columbia apples. For a week or more prior to these two displays, the T.Eaton Company will feature them, and it is expected thatthe large crowds which will daily flock to this store will be made acquainted with the size and flavor and high quality of the British Columbia orchard products, thereby creating -demand in the Winnipeg market which will eventually lead to their discriminating buyers calling for fruit grown in British Columbia. This year the exhibit will be confined to.the Okanagan country, but next fall a larger and better exhibit will be held which will include the fruits from other parts of the province also. ' Heretofore the Winnipeg fruit consumer has known but little about the magnificent fruit grown in this part of the Dominion. He has got the idea that it is more or less like the fruit of California, and that it is not to be compared with that grown in.-Ontario. Asa matter of fact;- however, the peaches .and apples grown in British Columbia are declared hy competent judges to be superior not only in quality to the Ontario product, but also in size and keeping quality. The promoters of these Winnipeg displays believe that they; will be just the thing by which to get before the people of that section the information which they should have. In connection with the displays there will be snitable decorations, with views of British Columbia orchards where the peaches and apples are grown, and other interesting scenery. The fruit will be given away as samples or sold at cost, and the two carloads will likely reach the largest number of people.—Daily Province.' Metcalfe's Report. More Complaints of Packing. CareL ess Kelowna Will Send Exhibit to New Westminster The A. & T, Association has. again decided to enter the lists at the New Westminster fair, which is to be held early in October. Encouraged by the brilliant success of last year, the Association are bent on beating their own record, and indeed, the chances for getting together a magnificent display of apples are greater than ever. A sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. B. McDonald, A. E. Boyer andT. Hill were recently appointed to go into the matter, and it has been decided that in addition to the various classes entered last year, a special effort will be made to pull off the much coverted District Fruit Exhibit. The directors have decided to place the whole charge of the exhibit in the able hands of Mr. A. E. Boyer, and with characteristic energy, he is already getting busy making arrangements for the collecting together of the specimens suitable for display, and is ready to see that each one gets full credit for his contribution. The steady growth of Messrs. Rowcliffe Bros, connection as a packing and shipping house for all kinds of vegetable and orchard products has necessitated their removal to larger and more convenient premises. They have rented the building formerly occupied by the Canning Company, and are now up to the neck in early apples, po- [tatoe*, and oth«r produce. Following are some of the more important matters dealt with : Winnipeg, Aug. 9. I find jobbers here quite ready to buy B. C. fruit if assured as to obtaining it, after ordering on date required. The demand is good and prices are firmer for all varieties of fruits. Quotations for peaches, plums and prunes aire ruling higher from the American side. The supply of apricots is practically ovei from American points. California peaches costing $1.15 laid do'vn, Winnipeg, selling retailers to-day $1.25 per case. Jobbers stating they would prefer to buy B. C. peaches quoted them, as profits would be larger than on the California product and that's the point considered by them always. Quotations from private sources and fruit distributing houses on the American side report all fruits fairer and higher. Jobbers here are not looking for so low prices this season, as the earlier reports of, crops and quotations indicated. Prices for fruit in Chicago and eastern States markets are high at this time in comparison with former seasons. These markets are supplied from the south at this season of the year, but now, practically none coming in, creating an increased demand for Pacific Coast States fruit at higher prices. B. C. blackberries arriving in excellent condition, but in limited quantises, selling at $3.75,.per,,case of 24 baskets, 2-5 size. Rogers & Co., jobbers here, Winnipeg, stated they had 10 carloads of fruit rolling into Winnipeg at present date. Vipond & Co., jobbers here, reported 5 cars of American mixed fruits rolling in at present time. Another auction mart has just been opened here. First carload of fruit from Ontario will be auctioned off tomorrow, containing tomatoes and early apples. Jobbers here are reported to hold stock and control it. They stated it was started with the idea of preventing fruit from being sold too low or at slaughtered prices, as was being done at present time by auction, injuring the sale of fruit by jobbers at jobbing prices. It would also be run in a measure, as a clearing house for the fruit jobbers. Regina, Aug. 10. Blackberries arriving here in very limited quantities, but in excellent conditon. Jobbers are desirous of buying B. C. : peaches, but afraid to order because of uncertaintv of obtaining-., on date ordered. Allow prices are firmer for peaches and plums from American points. Growers and shippers in B. C. now, should be able to assure jobbers as to date of shipping and keep track of cars rolling. Saskatoon, Aug. 11. 1 saw a car of mixed fruits to-day from Vernon, B. C. at the Northern Fruit Co's siding, shipped Aug. 3, arrived on the 11 th. Eight days in transit. Peaches were ripe, but good. Apples good. Peaches and plums ripe, but good. Cucumbers too ripe, yellow. Apricots too ripe. Manager stated he would have to job cots in town. Could not be shipped out to rural points. To-day, Aug. 13th, I examined another car of mixed fruits and vegetables (mainly potatoes) from Vernon, B. C. to Currie Bros., here. Shipped Aug. 5, arrived on 12th. Seven days in transit. Mr. Logan, manager of this firm, stated temp, of this car waa .70 on opening it. No ice in bunkers. Must certainly have been neglected in transit as to icing. Potatoes good. Apricots total loss. Beans dry and mouldy. Apples sound, but below grade. I maty state the number of cases of apricots and beans were few in car, therefore loss was not great Growers and shippers are evidently letting peaches and apricots ripen too much on tree before picking and shipping.

First and La.st Drinks A man haggard,wretched.with handcuffs on his wrists, cowering in a patrol wagon among degraded fellow prisoners, looked up as the wagon passed a famous hotel, whose luxurious bar was the resort of the guilded youth of the town. "That," he said in a tone as if going back over all his life to the time when his downfall began, "that was where 1 took my first drink." A battered tramp beside him answered hoarsely. "I took mine in a speak-easy," he said. "We didn't start alike, but when we get to our last drink, it'll all be the same—cheap whisky and the gutter and the morgue for both of us." | Money and the Traffic. There must be a great deal of money made out of the traffic in strong drink. It is made chiefly by two classes, those who manufacture it and those who sell it. The former were the less numerous of the two classes, but they get large wealth. The latter may not make so great fortunes but they are more numerous. . It takes a large amount of money to keep these two classes supplied. The annual cost of the alcoholic liquor consumed by the64,-' 000.000 people of Germany is estimated to be $715,000,000 more than twice the con- bined cost of the Army and Navy. And yet we read of countries groaning under the burden of militarism. It is nothing to the burden of alcoholism. And all this money, in Germany, Britain, Canada, is paid by the men who drink the liquor. Much of it can ill be spared. Much of it is taken from the needs of their own families. Some of it is given when the children are crying for bread and the wife toils in rags. Furthur, those who give the money get nothing for it but that which injures them, something which they would be better without. And still a_other wonder, all this is done voluntarily. When a much smaller amount is exacted by government, in taxes for the general good, what an outcry is sometimes raised I But here it is voluntarily given, when the only thing given in return is injury to themselves, physically, mentally and morally, and injury to their families as well. The wonder of it all I What a grip the thing must have upon men when they do all this, under these And their is still another wonder: that the men and women ina comunity who are not thus in bondage do not keep out of the community a traffic which so enslaves and hurts others, and which always claims its percentage of the boys in every community where it is permitted to operate I When the digestion is all right, the action of the bowels regular, there is a natural craving and relish for food.

Evidently one firm knows that money spent in advertising returns again many times. It is puzzling how the kind of goods usually sent out by the mail order man can be regularly palmed onto people simply by the help of a startling, enticing cover, and a lot of pictures. The mail order business is steadily pushing west, and growing from year to year, and he must be met on his own ground — a reasonable profit and systematic advertising. This will reach the buyers when ' appeals tp citizenship fall flat and dead. Whatever may have been the state of affarrs in the past, transportation facilities, better service and general substantial progress in Kelowna has built up many wide-awake progressive business firms, who are out after business, and after it all the time, and it does not take many experiments tof convince the man with a fair share of common-sense that he had better have kept his money at home.

The desire for government contral of irrigation systems has taken ffrm hold in this district at least, and judging by the determined efforts of representatives of the Kelowna Farmers' Institute, the time may not be far distant when the much needed reforms in the handling df the life-giving streams will be an accomplish ed fact. The meetings, advertised elsewhere, should do a great deal towards unifying the reasonable demands of the farmers for "water, and lots of it. Dr. J. W. Nelson Shepherd DENTIST p. o.

T. ELLIOTT - Kelowna, B. c. 7 ■!.•'■ «•. 4 The Orchard City Record. Thursday, Aug. 25 .'i ! News of the Valley. The Penticton Sunday school picnic to Kelowna has had to be abandoned, owing to the inability of the officials to secure the services of the ss. Aberdeen. Penticton is to have an Aquatic Club. This was decided upon at a meeting held last week. The new club is to.be organized on similar lines as the Kelowna association, witn an initial capital of $10,000. A pavilion and club house is to be erected. "1 think by next year we will have one the best aquatic associations on the lake," said one of the club's promoters enthusiastic ;.!Iy in discussing the proposition with the editor of the Herald. • " There have been a great many people, especially, of course, among the young men of the town, agita l;ng for such a club, and these will, Athout doubt,, take one or more shares in the concern. We should have some war canoe crews entered all along the line next season. In sculling events the Penticton club will probably have the services ■of Mr. Frederick T. H. Eyre who was coxswain of the Oxford eight : >me years ago, and had a splendid experience at Henley. There are also a numter of men in town who can be relied upon to pull an car or bend a paddle with the best of the material produced in other towns in the Okanagan." On account of the C.P.R. not being able to furnish excursion boats for the Naiamata regatta owing to the heavy fruit crop on the lake, the committee have been compelled to call off the event which was advertised to take place on _;2ptember 5th. Another victim. Jack Jones, conductor of the C. P. R. freight train, was drowned in Mara lake last Friday, while enjoying a dip when tii2 sun was hot. The train crew were in the water but a few minutes, when it was discovered that Jones had disappeared. The i est of the men were strong swimmers, and struck out for deep water. The conductor could not Gwim, and remained in shallow water. He must have stepped off a ledge into deep water, and immediately went under, Jqr he made no sound to attract the at tention of the other swimmers, and they did not know anything had happened him until they came ashore and found his clothes where he had left them. They began to search for him, but it was two hours later before his body was discovered in deep water near the shore. Mr. Jones was a young man of splendid qualities. He was stationed at Field when Mr. Bum- ham, Enderby agent, was there, and was thought a great deal of by all the railroad men. He leaves a wife nnd child, who are visiting in the east.—Enderby Press. One of the saddest accidents that Penticton has known occurred on Thursday afternoon when little Tommy Muir, the son of Mr. S. A, Muir.a Vernon chemist, was drowned off the C.P.R. wharf. His body was found about 5.30 p.m. by a commercial traveller who chanced to walk down the wharf. It was submerged in five feet of water. Early in the afternoon Tommy, his brother Arthur and another lad went to the wharf to fish. The other two subsequently went away leaving Tommj' alone. In some way he slipped off the wharf into the water. There was nobody around at the time, and the boy's disappeaiance was not noted until his companions returned. Dr. R. B. White was immediately summoned, but all efforts at resusiation were vain. The body had evidently been some time in the water. Tommy and his brother, Arthur, were visiting their uncle, Mr. B. A. Shat- ford, brother of Mr. W. T. Shatford and Mr. L. W. Shatford, M.L.A. for Similkameen. The body was taken to Vernon for burial.—Penticton Herald. Mr. Thacker, of Westbank, is experimenting this year with a new forage and fodder plant named "hilianti" which has been grown with much success in England, France and Algeria. The leaves produce a crop double in quantity to alfalfa, while the tubers are excellent food for cattle, containing a large percentage of sugar. Mr. Thacker imported a quantity of the tubers this spring from England.and although they were three months on j the road, and arrived in very poor condition he has raised a splendid crop. The plant will stand any, amount of frost, and Mr. Thacker thinks it would prove a valuable addition to the forage plants of the district. ANGLICAN I St. Michael and All Angels' Church.

Mr. Rodolpe Lemieux, postmaster- general, has been appointed to represent Canada at the opening of the first partiament of the South African Union. The report of Lord Strathcona, high commissioner for Canada in London, gives particulars of the trade between Canada and Great Britian during the past calendar year. The total foreign and colonial trade of the United Kingdom for 1909 was £1,003,116.916. as compared with £970,056,311 in 1908—an increase of £33,062,65.0. The total trade with Canada for 1909 was £29,424,609 as against £26,538,206 in 1908—an increase of £2,886,403. The total exports from the United Kingdom to Canada in 1909 were £8,414.624, compared with £6,288,437 in 1908, a very satisfactory increase of £2,- 126,187, or about 33.98 per cent. Imports from Canada in the same periods were £21,009,957 in 1909, and £20,249,759 in 1908. thus showing an increase of £760,216. There has been frost in Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Even in places in Manitoba tender plants have been blighted by a reeent frost. The Hartney Grain Co's elevator has been purchased by the Manitoba government at $4,500 There has never been ayfearwhen there was so much plowed land in southern Manitoba ready for spring seeding as is the case this season. The one thing people look for this autumn is rain in sufficient quantities to soak the earth and fill the runways and ponds. Every first and second class berth on the steamers of the Allan and C.P.R. lines have been booked to the end of September. Even the boats sailing to Newfoundland and Halifax feel the glut of passenger traffic. Manitoba crop reports appear to have been altogether too pessimistic Following the July drougth reports were very black, but now it turns out that over at least one-half of the wheat districts of . the prairie provinces, threshing reports place the yield about normal, and with the increased acreage to make up any deficit in yield, the total produce of the three provinces will, it is declared, be more than two thirds the normal. Sir Wilfrid Receiving Ovations in West. Non-Partizan Reception Tendered Him in Albertan Metropolis Five thousand people were awaiting Sir Wilfrid Laurier when he arrived at Calgary last Friday. Mayor Jamieson delivered a civic address. Sir Wilfed, replying expressed appreciation of his welcome, and paid a tribute to the marvelous development of the district, adding his hope that a spirit of true Cana- dainism was dominant. A reception was planned on a mammoth scale, and was entirely non-partisan among the prominent citizens taking part being Mr. R. B. Bennett, conservative leader in the provincial legislative Assembly. A procession was formed, and Sir Wilfred was escorted to Braemer Lodge were he enjoyed a much- needed rest. anu A Chinese newspaper is to be started in Vancouver. The editor, Man Fung Lung, lately arrived from Hong Kong to make arrangements for the enterprise. A convention of Alberta farmers tish Columbia representatives of agriculture and commerce which has been meeting in Vancouver, passed the following resolution which will be forwarded to the Canadian Pacific, the Canadian Northern, the Great Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railways: "That this meeting, composed of the directors of the United Farmers of Alberta, representatives of th farmers of British Columbia, the Board of Trade of Vancouver, and members of various other commercial organizations of both provinces, express its deep conviction that excessive freight rates between Alberta and British Columbia are seriously hindering and diminishing the interchange of products under present conditions, and retarding future development in both of these provinces. And it is further the conviction of this meeting that the time has now arrived when a substantial reduction in rates should be effected, which will not only be of the greatest importance and benefit to the producers and consumers of these provinces, but to the railway companies as well."

Changes of water and climate often cause sudden attacks of diarrhoea, and it ia best to bo prepared. Sold by all druggists. Vancouver*'* Reception. Sir Wilfrid Laurier must have been deeply moved by the splendid character of the reception accorded to him at Vancouver on Tuesday. The citizens of the Terminal City as a whole joined in the welcome and it was one spontaneous outburst of enthusiasm for Canada's leading citizen. Addresses of welcome, entertainment of var- kinds and a bumper public meeting comprised the program. In the afternoon the premier formally opened Vancouver first exhibition. Victoria Enthused. It is estimated that between ten and tweiVc tuousanu people were at the Parliament Buildings, Victoria, to catch a glimpse of Sir Wilfrid Laurier as he passed from his motor car to the scene of the reception proper in the Assembly Chamber, And of these thousands it is safe to say that not one but was agreed with all the rest that in brilliance of effect, in artistic character, and in whole-heartedness the function was describeable only as setting the mark of functions of such character insofar at least as Western Canada is concerned. Vernon Will Celebrate. Vernon is making elaborate preparations for the reception to-morrow. The streets will be decorated and a triumphal arch erected. A deputation from the Vernon Liberal Association went out to Sicamous on Manday to meet Sir Wilfrid Laurier's party on their way to the coast. They had a pleasant interview with the premier, and presented the party with a quantity of apples, peaches, plums, tomatoes, melons and other products of the Okanagan sufficient to. keep their table supplied during the journey to Prince Rupert. The sixteen press representatives were each given a handsome paper box of aseorted fruit, and a good advertisement of' the district was thus furnished.
