It would be well for the Board of Trade to form an outside auxiliary Merchants' Commission to assist in handling what Vice-Chairman'Scott called a "most serious matter, and one the Board pro- poses to stay on the job with until it is finished.". That will be good news to many a rate-harassed trader. I heard of one the other day who had to pay $24 for a ear of sand hauling 13 miles. ''Going some," eh? The dry rot from the C. P. R. Winnipeg office must.be put an end to in the public's and company's interest on Western lines'or more valuable vacancies will soon want filling. The B. C. Empire League should be really more careful with their propaganda and not frighten to death men whose non-Imperial scalps should $i\dangle from their belts. I refer to young "Mas- Jj ter Launcelot Roosevelt," the seven-months-old transportation love child of Home Payne himself. I am told it was a personal New York after dinner appointment, and it has proved not a very , happy one at that. The only transportation Mr. Roosevelt has succeeded in raising to a very high pitch are "transports of joy" that the old tried and true men will be again in the saddle. Now, let the company give them a fair chance, and if they are not above taking a suggestion, they will add automobile patrol service to the transportation and despatching system. Signals and telephones are all very well, but these have ' neither brains nor eyes'. What is wanted to grasp the growing needs of Vancouver's enormous traffic is a road .observation service outside the car service���������to note the traffic delays and their causes. Chief Engineer Conway, being a keen observer, might give that despatching department a few tips as to how to do once and for all. Dear, dear me. I had no idea Mr. Mawson, the landscape artist, was such a close reader of the " Western Call;'��������� furthermore that he would ever - gor and write the ideas set out in this journal That Hagenback Zoo idea, for example, was one recommended to the Park Commissioners, in these columns, on March 16th, for Stanley Park;;; It was then said, "What is wanted is an open-air Zoo like the Hagenback one in Berlin���������Hamburg should have been written. Mr. Mawson's whole report is worth, much care- jut tiuMght^aTO THave m doubt ^n^uvet will readily adopt many of his schemes as time goes by. Peep sympathy towards Aid. Crowe on the loss of his beloved wife and eomrade. May the Great Healer send him solace in his trial South Vancouver School Board has had rather troublous times of late by the resignation of two of its members, and but for Secretary Kirkland's cool head and good work Ave would have suffered serious business discolation. Mr. Kirkland has evidently saved the day and now Trustee Vogel's timely resignation is a fact, the affairs of the Board would go forward, smoothly and well, with a determination to do the square thing and the very best for the children's and ratepayers' interests. So the eat is out of the President's tbag and Uncle Sam got the fur and claw's only. "Adjunct" we were to be, eh? I would like to hang, draw and crucify that word across the brow of every Grit in the land. Long has the view been held in some minds that Laurier was doped and duped and delivered, bound hand and foot, at the White House. Exactly who was at the bottom of this deep conspiracy, it is hard to say, but 13. G. Macdonald was only the eatspaw���������the real deadly feline was a far bigger thing than so slight a man as Macdonald has proven. I dare venture that the Knights of Columbia know more about this dark plot than will ever be unveiled. They are the most dangerous, deadl secret society in Canada, if not in the world. We will keep an eye on them in future. LOSS AND COMPENSATION Infinite wisdom and power has so arranged and continues to control this world as a small part of the universe that all events, including accidents resulting in loss, have their compensation. This law applied to the wreck of the Titanic, and the appalling destruction of human life and property will require a compensation commensurate with the loss. Judging from the present outlook, the gain will be in improved protection to passengers on ocean liners. Today every ocean voyager takes great risk because of inadequate life-saving equipment in the perils of the deep, such as storms, collisions, explosions, fire, rocks, icebergs,'etc. ��������� The littleness of man compared with the gigantic proportions of Nature, become more evident as human knowledge increases. ' ��������� ��������� { Nature, God's handiwork, is mightier iri forfee and majesty and immobility than man. There are elements which cannot be conquered. There are natural situations in which man is as helpless. as a worm. All he can do is die. , i The horror of a shipwreck is that every victim goes!, consciously to his doom. Reason for the moment may be whelmed or overthrown, yet there remain the sinking into the wave, the struggle for breath, the farewell to life, the suffocation, the blotting out of enlivened memory, the end of all O the terror of it! Who now will.go to sea in ships? Puny man with all his boasted skill can neither, foresee 'every danger nor guard securely against it. He may expend ten millions of dollars, in the building of his one boat, fit it up like a royal palace., attract patronage from the rich arid wise and powerful and famous of earth, but he caniiot make absolutely certain the safety of his chosen path across the deep. ; i Two miles below the surface of the wreck-strewn Atlantic the Titanic sleeps. No human eye will ever again gaze upon her. Her beauty of form, her /might' of hulk, her. power of speed, her wealth of finish, avail nothing. She sleeps! Crushed and broken and helpless and silent and hidden forever. The Titanic sleeps! f ��������� .. ( Should the Titanic disaster, heart-rending as it was and is, result in bringing man as it were to his senses, teaching him anew that humanity is. punyy life a gift that must be surrendered, the earth but a tiny speck of the vast universe, the sea but a drop in the hollow of God's hand, thought but an emanation of infinite mind, and that soon all of hs, like generations that have passed, must render up our account, it will have accomplished a great end in its place among human events. The strife for size and speed and luxury in ship-building is likely now, since the Titanic disaster, to yield place for a time at least to the paramount question of safety in crossing the mighty deep. '���������';>.������������������:' '���������������������������-��������� ' It is of less consequence whether a man crosses the ocean as a prince in five days than whether he crosses as a live creature at all. \ So long as life is helo!*p>eciou8 the average voyager; would rather take more time and land safely than to plunge ahead recklessly, and then plunge to the bottom forever. It is possible that the limit has nearly been reached in the scientific construction of ocean ships for rapid travel, but attention should now be paid.to devices for security of life.; ;;v^' ; More lifeboats are needed on the average liner itshe is ^venture voutid^^ arrange the schedules so that the boats on different, lines; can steam off together in fleets or convoys, keeping w;ithin reachable distance of each Other, and perhaps preeej^ by a scouting ship to warn of iceberg and other dangers.

In this particular Vernon stands as high as any other place of .qual size in the Province, her hotels in all particulars being good ones. The average traveler requires the best of service, and in at least one of the hotels of Vernon this service has reached to a marked degree of comfort, elegance and style in hotel keeping. This is Hotel Kalamalka, which is centrally located in the very best business section of the city. The furnishings are of the most comfortable obtainable and are designed as much for comfort as for beauty and exquisite luxury. The lobby is large, light, and the substantial leather cushioned chairs and appointments tend to the comfort and convenience of guests. The dining phone in. each room, hot and cold water, electric light, and nothing is left undone by Mr* McAuley, the enterprising and progressive manager, to make Hotel Kalamalka the travelers' mecca. This house is the just pride of Vernon and the Okana- gan Valley, and it merits unstinted praise. Mr. McAuley has had wide experience in the art of catering to the public, and has made a scientific study of it, bringing keen intelligence, tact and discretion combined with executive capacity and energy to bear in his dealings. He has the happy faculty of handling to its perfect satisfaction the drummer and tourist trade, and considerable town custom as well, and he is an important figure in the hotel trade in this country. There is probably ���������UtoK"*'** ������3<.������! Y,r ������.! ������ The Titantic enquiry as conducted by Senator Smith is giving rise to tense resentment and American non-judicial methods of examination are coming in for sharp comment on both sides of the Atlantic. Until this painful process of making New York Press copy comes to an end and the British Admiralty take hold of the enquiry, very little illumination will be thrown on the matter. I was glad to note the manly letter of Capt. Copp and others standing up for the honor of the cloth. Even poor old Ismay���������most unfortunate of all living beings���������is finding some defenders of his behavior. On the other hand Major Penhcon becomes'a very poor "pinchbeck" hero indeed. It would be good for the Toronto command if his name could be perpetually lost sight of. The Grim Reaper has been busy again in C. P. R. circles and the sudden removal of General Supt. Oborne at the very beginning of what -j promised to be a brilliant Western railway p. career, is a sad blow both to the company and the public at large. His early history shows him to have been a man of remarkable tenacity of purpose and good brains. Now. good brains and more of them is what tthe C. P. R. sadly lacks on Western lines as worked from the Winnipeg engineering side at all events. The company are blundering and stumbling along in a tortuous, uneven gait unworthy of a great company and their own ultimate interests. These are days when even railway emperors room with the walls artistically colored in bluish tint is testefirily and elegantly furnished, and the more than ordinary good looking waitresses are prettily uniformed to match, while the table would suit the most fastidious epicure. The best markets are ransacked to place before the guests the most tempting dainties and the finest viands. Nothing is too good to be placed before the guests and the service is an par with the sumptuousness of the table. Every traveling man who stops here is loud in his praise of Hotel Kalamalka. The house caters to the best class of the traveling public and is headquarters for commercial men, tourists, etc., visiting the Okanagan Valley. There is a tele- no occupation that requires more tact or a greater knowledge of human nature than this does, but Mr. McAuley is eminently well adapted for it in every case. He is to be congratulated on his well drilled force from chef to housekeeper, and everything runs like clockwork. Mr. McAuley during his residence in Vernon has won the confidence, and esteem of his fellow townspeople. He is progressive from the word "go," and besides having large intersts here, he has valuable holdings adjoining Vancouver, the metropolitan city of the west. The above cut shows Hotel Kalaraal- ki, Vernon's leading first class hotel, and mecca for the "Knight of the Grip" and tourist. It is about time for-the Dominion Oovernment to look carefully into the exact condition of the . lumber trade of this province. And aa surely as it takes a comprehensive and a detailed survey of the facts, and all the conditions, so surelv will it feel the need of coming to the relief of this exceedingly important industry. No man need tell the public, or the legislators .either at Ottawa or Victoria, that one of the most important industries of British Columbia, and for that matter of Canada, is that of lumber, in all its branches. Not long ago the Dominion Government would have -put on a protective charge against the vast quantities of aheap waste lumber sent into Canada from'the States, were it not for the selfishness of the prairie farmer. Let us hurriedly look into one of the chief facts * bearing on this matter. The saw mills of the Pacific coast in tbe States have a population of scores of millions to serve in their own country. Most of their .customers require high grades of lumber. As a matter of fact, about seventy per cent of the lumber out by the United States mills is of high grade and this is sold at home. About thirty per cent is rough, a low grade quality, and cannot be sold within,the country. Hence there is a vast amount of cheap. unsaleable lumber that lies in the mill yard*; amu is of no real value, only so far as they rom.nence award him a high place n these columns. / THOMAS LAW80N, LTD., are wholesale and retail general merchant* In Kelowna.

Their magnilicent mill, which was erected at a cost of about $70,000.00, commenced operations shortly before Christmas last year, after one year's work building and Installing the plant. The mill has a capacity of 30,000 feet for a ten hour shift, and they make a specialty qf manufacturing Western Larch (Tamrack) lumber. This has a most beautiful grain and is unsurpassed for high class finishing and building generally. This plant is one of the finest in the Province and nowhere has the writer seen a nicer finished product. The mill is located adjoining the town on the Okanagan River and on the Kettle Valley Railway branch now under construction to run to Penticton. The Penticton Lumber Company contemplate erecting a Jno. Oldfleld drying kiln in the near future for their mill products which will do as much work in twenty-four hours as the sun drying yard system does in nine months. This indicates the progressive spirit of the directorate of the Penticton Lumber Company. They give employment to thirty-five men at the mill and as many more in the logging camps and river drives. They have ten thousand acres of timber lands which insures steady work for the.mill for many years to come. This is a home enterprise and much money has been expended in the Okanagan Valley and we_ believe that all lumber required for home building should as generally as possible be purchased at home and thus encourage home enter- prize, home trade, home industry, the home building up, improving and developing spirit. We therefore take pleasure in according this generous mention to this progressive enterprise and award it a high place here as we pass in review. The personnel of the company are Messrs. E.

I had some qualities which-1 thought made a man of me. I could swear like an old salt, could drink as stiff a glass of grog as if I had doubled Gape Horn, and could smoke like a locomotive. I was great at cards and fond of gambling in every shape. At the close of dinner one day my father turned everybody out of the cabin, locked the door ,and said to me: "David what do you mean to be?' " 'I mean to follow the sea.' "'Follow the sea!' Yes to be a poor miserable, drunken sailor before the mast. Be kicked and cuffed about the world, and die in some fever hospital in a foreign land! No, David; no ' boy every trod the quarterdeck with such principles as you exhibit. You'll have to change your whole course of life, if you ever become a man.' "My father left me, and went on deck. I was stunned by the rebuke, and overwhelmed with mortification. 'A poor, miserable, drunken sailor before the mast. Be kicked and cuffed about the world and die in some fever hospital. That is to be my fate,' I thought. 'I'll change my life, and change "it at once. I"U never utter another oath; I will never drink another drop of intoxicating liquor! I will never gamble.' I have kept these three vows ever since. Shortly after I had made them I became a Christian. That act was the turning-point in my destiny." The Okanagan Valley (Penticton, Continued from Page 2) "They say she. looked daggers at him?" "Worse than that. She looked hat pins."���������Detroit Free Press.

O, to be in England now that April's there, may be rather a trite saying, but will never quite lost its sweetness as long as time is. it is now 25 years almost to tbe day that the writer took the jaunt upon which this sketch will deal. A misty grey morn broke snllenly over the vale of Evesham tbat 23rd day of April, upon which the pilgrimage to Shakespeare's birth town that" I am about to relate, took place, but time has not withered nor memory staled the glory and enjoyment of that trip. , Arriving in the quaint old town the visitor naturally first seeks breakfast at the nearest Inn���������for, let me warn you, that he who would visit Shakespeare's town must bave Time for bis friend and companion���������and like Ben Johnson, must "saunter" through���������or half of the enjoyment and spirit of the" place will be missed. Shakespeare's house, the first place of call, is one of a pair of fine old half timbered cottages, which in their day were no doubt considered a worthy addition to the old town and called "New Place." Entering the street door one comes into the quaint ball or "house place," as it was called in Shakespeare's day. Here is a fine picture of the Bard of Avon, painted from contemporary miniature sketches, showing him with the pointed cavalier beard, the face high-browed serene, the eyes steel blue, yet kindly, looking down, gazes with a touch of majestic sweetness upon the beholder. All over the low-beamed ceiling, on the walls, and even diamond graved upon the glass, are scores and thousands of names of tourists and others who have recorded their names, date of their .visit,.upon them. The house Is now well cared for by the Mayor corporation and a charge of 6d admission goes towards its upkeep and guarding the house and Ita relics, which too ardent American admirers would carry oft piecemeal if it were possible. A short distance from the house. In the centre of four cross roads, stands a very fine memorial erected and given to the town by Mr. Geo. Cbiilds, of Philadelphia. It is in the form of a handsome clock tower surrounded by- four statuary groups, representing Asia, America, India and Europe. Mythical groups, symbolical of each, adorn these blocks and are finely modelled and carved. The tower it* self has four long lancet windows, lead-glased, showing the swing of the ponderous clock and on a has relief panel. this Inscription: "In ber days " every man shall eat in safety what "he plants, and sing the merry songs ",' of peace to all his neighbors. God "shall be truly known. And those " about ber-���������from her shall learn the " perfect ways of honor. And by them judge their greatness. Not by blood. Tbe memorial is a very fine addition to the town's artistic side. Now we approach the sacred fane, in which tbe asbes of tbe great Bird is laid. Strattord-on-Avon Church would be a notable and Interesting building at any time, for. its own quaint old world 14th-century architecture ��������� its carved pews and oak roofs���������its tracened time- mellow stone windows and Its ardles many times buttressed walls, crowned by its graceful tapering spire, but being, so to speak, Shakespeare's shrine, as well gives it at once an overpower Ing interest. Reading from tbe open glass-cased in register of baptisms we -see Shakespeare's birth entry April 23rd, 1563 Proceeding to the chancel en- sconed high up on Its south wall is the tomb of William Shakespeare, a half-length bust of himself, tricked out in sober colors, with a gray goose quill In band. In the act of writing, stands the monument to tbe divine William. it looks most life-like. Summerland "The inscription ends ��������� ��������� ,# " with whoam uick nature did ye deck "thetombe." Then the Latin motto or epitaph, beginning "Judicio Pyllum Genlo Socra* " tes. In arte Maronem." May be freely translated��������� "In art a Virgil, in wisdom a Socra* " tes, in Judgment a Nestor. Tbe earth "covers, the people mourn. Olympus " has blm! A beautiful thought!" The other well-known epitaph Is���������- "Stay passenger, why do'est thou so fast; "Watch in the tomb whom environs death, has't plas't. "Shakespeare, with whom quick "Nature did ye deeked the tomb." Near by in a mural tomb lies the body of the old money-lender, John a* Coombs, of whom It is reported tbat after many inducements to the divine William this epitaph was written of the ten-percenter: "Ten In the hundred Lies here engraved. It's a hundred to ten His soul is not saved. If any man ask Who lies in the tomb? Oh, ho. quoth the Devil, It's my John O. Coomb." leaving the interior of the sacred fane , which possesses much good carved oak work and one or two good stained glass windows, we take a further cursory took around the churchyard, which is lapped in silver silence by the placid Avon ��������� whose broad quiet flood invites a short waterfan's excursion, so choosing a light shallop we glide over Avon's silvery tide past the yew banked church, on by its sedges and willows, past the fine new memorial theatre, in which the annual, birthday festivals are held, and so with the graceful spire pointing skywards, the falling light tinging the foliage with evening glory upon as ideal .an English landscape as can be found in the four comers of the seagirt isle���������where lays England's proud- | est name so enshrined���������to which fair THE SUMMERLAND SUPPLY COMPANY, LIMITED, is conducted by Adam Stark, who has operated here eight years.

Mount Pleasant is steadily and surely becoming the heart of the city. Main thoroughfares are being graded and paved in all directions from this center, and unlike many weBtern townships, the best roads of Mount Pleasant are not those which lead from it, but those which lead to it. No part of Greater Vancouver is progressing at a more rapid rate than is Mount Pleasant. New buildings, both residential and for business purposes, are going up in all directions; civic and other improvements are being carried on as quickly as possible, and the merchants and other residents of this promising neighborhood have it within their power to make their district the most prosperous part of Greater Vancouver. Merchants should lay themselves out to get and retain the interest and patronage of the people, and householders should realize that to deal locally is to raise the value of their own property by making the neighborhood a more prosperous one. Sophia street is being graded from Westminster Road to Sixteenth avenue. Mount Pleasant boasts some of the best business houses of any part of the city. This is proved by the fact that some of the merchants draw a large percentage of their patronage from outside points. ward into ten separate districts. Each of these districts will have a chairman and an individual organization, which in tUrn will send delegations to the parent ward association. In New York, Chicago and other large cities the prices of meat have been soaring away above the reach of many working people during the past week, but, strange to say, this will make but little difference to prices at the Sanitary Market, 2513 Main street. Beef and mutton, veal and lamb, fish and poultry, of the quality for which this store is noted can here be purchased at usual prices. ' See their advertisement. ������4>************************** ...

A simple timber fram- f ing with studs sixteen inches apart on which the boards are nailed and the joints covered with four inch battens bedded in elastic weatherproof cement will make a structure sufficiently durable to last for years, and which can be readily taken to pieces and transported when necessary. There Is no need for bricks, mortar or plaster. Asbestos boards being fire proof can be used as material for a flue, if it is necessary to have a fireplace inside. In the hands of a carpenter or a handy man, a few hundred dollars will put up a smart little bungalow, while less will build a useful shack or hut more weatherproof and comfortable than made of timber alone and quite as cheap. This material is used extensively in Germany and elsewhere on the European Continent for the erection or chalets, also such buildings as Schools, Barracks, Isolation Hospitals, Shooting lodges, etc., as being safe, more sanitary and economical than any other-that can be used; besides having the advantages of rapid erection and easy removal. The W. C. Thomson Company, 319 Pender Street, West, are keeping large ' stocks of these materials, aB the demand is already very considerable and certain to go on increasing.

Montreal, May 3.���������The law and not the physician may yet become the final factor here in deciding whether or not an illness or disease is curable as tbe result of a unique situation which, if carried tb its logical conclusion, may fake it necessary for an aiking person in search of a cure to consult a statute book instead of a doctor. This strange state of affairs has been brought about as the result of an extradition writ issued by a neighboring town to compel a practitioner of | this city to stand trial on the charge of receiving money under false pretenses. Tbe facts in the case show that one of the city's beBt-known physicians who has been profinently identified with a number of its medical institutions, rendered a bill for $12 for his treatment for the disease known as hydrocepnalus, or water on tbe brain, of a boy in Como. The doctor says physicians now recognize that this disease is in some cases curable by medical treatment, while the indictment says that it is ncurable except by surgery. As the doctor in question did not attempt the latter method, the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses is made. Should the town win its case a curious situation would arise under which it might be called upon to codify all diseases with the proper treatment for each, for physicians might be slow to undertake treatment if such an act, through conflict with the views oi the authorities, might lead to indictment and punishment. A legal code of all diseases and their proper treatfents would undoubtedly be a remarkable work, and the picture of the authorities prescribing castor oil for juvenile stomachache is no less wonderful than would he the predicament of a physician who, at a critical moment, happened to have misplaced his code hook.

ORCHARD INTER-CROPS. (P. E. French, B.S.A:, Assistant Horticulturist.) The growing ot crops between orchard trees until they reach productive age is one of importance not only to the individual fruit grower, but to the economic stability of the fruit industry as a whole. A few years ago a lack of knowledge as to the successful marketing of these inter-crops, such as small fruits and vegetables, together with a wave of enthusiasm for absolutely clean cultivation of orchards, 'iiscouraged this practice. There has recently been a change in both respects. A great increase in the available market, and ��������� the discovery that carload production was an essential to success with main-crop vegetables, together with experimental proof that careful men cculd grow inter-crops witti financial success and without injury to the trees, have materially altered the situation. There are, however, certain requisites to success. The soil must be deep, in good physical condition, fertile, and be possessed of adequate moisture. A soil in condition to support only the growth of the trees cannot carry both trees and intercrop without injury to the former. A first step is to get the soil in proper condition by the use of cover-crops or barnyard manure. The climate must also be suitable. Wealthy Apples thrive, and attain the best results in districts where tomatoes and corn can be grown successfully. Early vegetables are successful only where they can be produced in time for their market. Some non- irrigated districts are so dry in the summer time that many inter-crops requiring a large amount of moisture suffer or fail. These points all require local study. The third important requisite to success, and perhaps the most important, is the market. Co-operative marketing is almost essential in getting a new district under way. Carload production as - mentioned above, Is often most desirable. Given a careful study of the entire situation, success is reasonably assured. There is usually a living to be made from the land while the treeB are . coming into bearing age. Many crops which will bring good returns can be grown between the rows of trees, while tbey are young, but It should always be remembered that the young trees are of first importance, and upon their present health and vigor depends tbe future usefulness of tbe orchard. Inter-cropping of young orchards is generally discouraged for the reason that tbe trees are likely to be neglected or misused and the soil depleted of plant food and moisture. It Js by injudicious cropping, however, . (hat young orchards are often most seriously Injured. Extra care should be taken to maintain tbe fertility of Die soil by tbe application of manure nnd fertilizers. The growing of light crops is a means of keeping tbe land stirred when it might otherwise be neglected, and if t|������e grower is careful to see that the physical condition of the land 18 improved, and adds enough plant fond to supply tbe lost? the light cropping of orchards for the first few years may be a decided benefit The. danger is that the fruit grower might continue too long and expect too much from it. When the orchard comes into hearing, give it the entire land. In orchards set less than twenty- five feet apart the land should rarely he cropped more than three years, but apple orchards set thirty feet or more, may be lightly cropped four or fire years if extra good care is takes. In Irrigated sections there is a vegetables that can be grown at a profit. The kind of crop grown will depend also largely on the type of soil and the location of the .orchard.' Grain or hay should never be grown in the orchard. "' They are especially objectionable because they do not permit the cultivation of the soil nor shade it sufficiently to keep it from baking. Of course, such crops as wheat, rye, oats, clover, etc., may be grown late in the season as cover crops to plow under, but if grown for grain or hay it is too hard to preserve the moisture and the physical condition of the soil is not improved. A hoed crop is much more desirable. The growing of nursery stock in young orchards should be discouraged. This crop makeB the same demands upon the soil as the orchard itself, and it does not allow the variations in cultivation and management which are possible when different crops are grown. Nursery stock is known to be particularly hard on land, so much so that nurserymen seldom grow two crops of nursery stock in succession on the same area. y Potatoes may be mentioned as a crop well adapted to grow in young orchards. It is a staple commodity and is often shipped across the continent, but in order to do this the community must produce a sufficient quantity to ship in carload lots. If early potatoes are grown, a cover crop of rye or wheat, or sometimes clover, may be planted after the potatoes are harvested. Potatoes thrive best on the light or medium soils, but occasionally heavier soils are found that are adapted to the crop. Potatoes require the cultivation of the soil in the spring and early part of the summer, and consequently are among the best to grow ln the orchard. Early corn, onions, carrots, beets, etc., are good crops to grow as inter-crops in the young orchard, because they all require good cultivation and generally tempt the manager to liberal fertilizing. In fruit districts where canning factories are being built, such crops as tomatoes, corn and beans may be grown, as it is often difficult for tbe factories to get a sufficient supply of these crops. When clovers or vetches are grown it 1b well to leave a good wide strip on each side of the trees for cultivation, especially where irrigation is not available, so that the trees will not suffer from lack of moisture. One crop can then be taken off, and the second crop allowed to grow.to plow under next spring. This sup plleB nitrogen and adds humus to the soil. Small fruits are often grown as inter-crops and sometimes with very good results. Bush fruits should never be planted within nine feet from the row of trees, and the ground needs extra good cultivation. There is always a danger of leaving bush fruits too long in the orchard. In irrigated., sections, strawberries are sometimes grown with good results. Tbere Is not tbe danger of over-watering this crop that tbere is in the case of the bush fruits, as the strawberry season is over quite early. Young orchards should never be left in sod. Sod lands are not only drier than cultivated ground, but they are favourite . breeding places ot insects. Mice often harbour, in sod lands, and they often do considerable damage to young trees. Tbere are a few cases where sod may he grown In old orchards, but It is tbe exception rather than tho rule. In such a case as a very steep hillside, where there was plenty of moisture available, It might be an advantage to leave the orchard in sod. However, nothing should be taken off the ground. Tbe grass should be cut and left on the ground We are often asked if it pays |to grow inter-crops in the bearing VERNON (Continued from page 1) W. C. POUND. The rapid growth and development of the Okanagan Valley and the Vernon section in particular is amply shown in the establishment here of Mr. W. G.

He opened up here twenty years ago and his place of business is a veritable museum of animals and birds mounted in first class style and skins fanned and mounted for rugs and sale.

S. paper, showing the conditions of ice cream manufacture in New York: Following the lead set by other eastern cities in a war against impure and doped foods, particularly milk, ice cream and other products, an investigation into conditions in this city has been started, and the few tests made of certain articles show frightful results. Among twenty-fire samples of cheap ice cream purchased in Manhattan at as many different manufactories, Hochctadter & Riley, analytical^ chemists, have discovered, in twenty-three coli bacilli ranging from 50,000 to 4,- 000,000 per cubic centimeter. About a quarter of a teaspoonful Is a cubic centimeter. Not one of the samples came up to the government standard, which requires tbat ice cream shall contain 14 per cent, of butter fats. Two or three of the samples showed as. high as 7 per cent., the balance betweeu'2 and 3 per cent. These ice creams are made of dried milk, condensed milk or .skim milk. None of them are made of cream, aB would be necessary to come up lo the government specifications. The> are thickened with glue and starch.

However, this need not be If extra good care Is taken to replace the plant food and humus which is lost by tbe growing of crops. It must always be remembered tbat where crops are growing between tbe trees, tbey are taking food material out of the soil, and tbat It is necessary to fertilize the ground well ln the meantime, so that the soil will not be in an impoverished condition when tbe trees begin to bear. NEW POLICE SQUAD. THE PROGRESS OF THE WIST. tendency to over-Irrigate If there are'orchard. There Is no doubt but interferons. This, of course, Is detrimental to tbe trees. Quite often It makes the trees grow late in tbe fall and tbey are sent into the winter in a soft and unrlpened condition. When inter-crops are grown an open ���������trip, free from crops, should be left oa each side of the row of trees. Tbe width of this strip will vary somewhat according to tbe kind of crop grown. For an ordinary hoe crop, the space free of crops should be about four feet on each side of the row of trees the first year, and this area should be widened each year as the treeB grow older. This tihould be kept cultivated regularly throughout the growing season. The roots of a tree generally spread farther from the trunk than do the branches, so tbat in no case should crops be grown within a foot and one- half of tbe line below the outside of I lie branches. The drier the land the less it should be cropped unless irrigation water is available. CROP TO GROW. Only annual crops should be grown in fruit Iiiantations. In general, some low- growing crop which demands good Ullage and comes off early is best. Almost any vegetable crop may be grown, but with all such crops the (iuestion of markets should be care- fully considered before planting any large area. In any section there is always something in the way of tbat It does not pay. One cannot expect to get two crops of produce from the same ground. The roots of the bearing trees require all the ground for the best development of tbe tree and fruit. The only crop tbat should be grown in a bearing orchard is a cover crop to plow under. The writer does not advocate cropping the young orchard in all cases. Where a grower has sufficient capital to carry him over until the fruit trees are bearing, It may be better not to take anything off the ground. He has a much better chance to enrich the ground by plowing under leguminous crops, as clover, etc., when the trees are young than when they are large and bearing. It is sometimes hard to get a good catch when the trees are large and shade the ground. If one is in such a position, he should be able to have the ground in a better condition when the trees are old enough to bear fruit than the man who is obliged to grow inter-crops. However, we are not all able to do this and we must be governed largely by j our circumstances. Taking the situation as a whole, it would seem that the opportunities for the small fruit grower are encour-l DubijSh.? aging, not only to make n living, but an income as well, while his orchard is coining into bearing age.

Roland, Industrial Commissioner of this city, has Issued a comprehensive statement concerning the progress of tbe West, In which he says: Tbe Immigration movement into Western Canada has advanced very rapidly in the past* five years. In 1907, 262,469 persons came In from all sources. The next year, 146,908 came; ln 1909, 28,794; in 1910, 311,094, and in 1911 the figures show 350,420 settlers, all of whom have come with the avowed intention of taking up their permanent residence with UB. The wealth of Western Canada's partially developed natural resources is yet untold. With only 10 per cent, of the vast stretches of fertile land under crop, with lumber and mineral resources merely surface touched, with millions of acres of free land and other millions of acres of cheap land, Western Canada is bound to have first place among the countries of the world as a place in which people may come and settle and make for themselves a home and business equal to their ability, capacity and capital invested. "Cops de luxe," a variety hitherto unknown, capable either of chasing crooks or furnishing exhaustive Information to feminine bargain hunters, and calculated to make the ordinary policeman turn green with envy, are soon to grace St Catherine street, according to tbe plans of merchants whose establishments line both sides of tbat famous thoroughfare. For some time complaints nave been common- that the famous street has become a favorite bunting ground for all sorts of panhandlers. Accordingly merchants now propose to Introduce guardians ot their own. Imposing physical and sartorial requirements wbicb will make them the observed of all observers. As a start it is planned to put eight men on duty ln tbe business section. Two of them will be plainclothes men In a technical sense at least, though whether they will be clothed ln frock coats and silk hats Is not yet announced. The other six, however, will be uniformed in gorgeous style, resembling somewhat the London "bobby," and somewhat the Prussian grenadier. Each member of the new ultra exclusive force will be of herculean build and clad according to present suggestions in a blue uniform with crimson or gold facings. Not only will they be expected to detect and banish all crooks, but to be walking encyclopedias of tbe knowledge dear to- the feminine Bhopper. Altogether their advent will set a new standard in the police service not only for Montreal, but the whole country as well.

For wbat seemed to him five of the longest minutes he had ever known, the water crushed him against that rock tooth, whilst his arm was recked with the pain of keeping his fingers crooked in that bundle of wet clothing, which swayed with tbe current, but which he had not strength to drag back. He could hold on to it, he would go with It rather than let go, but be could Hot find the strength needed tb draw it to his own place of safety. Jim felt his body slipping away from the roek which sheltered him. Gently, Insistently, like an angler who puts all 'he strain he dare upon a lightly-hook- d fish, the waters drew him from his old, and thenVhere came 6ne of those range chuckling sounds which water akes amongst the boulders. In his light-headed condition it was *lo Combe the laugh of ar devil who wins, and it touched some spring in his nature, of which for the moment he had lost control, the strength came back to his muscles, and with a last desperate effort he drew Protheroe to him; dragged him somehow to the river's brim, and dropped him tbere, where the waters lapped over the firsc boulders of the dryland. For a long pauBe tbere was silence, but for the ravings of the river, baulked of its prey, and the little wind, which wined like a wolf amongst the sage brush along the cliff's edge. Utterly spent, the two men lay where they had fallen, as did the pin jo. Only the roan stood upright, and even his strong knees were bent, bis head hung, and his whole body waa shaken with shivering fits. Combe was the first to recover. Dragging himself to his feet, he went over to the doctor's horse. ��������� "You've got to get up, old fellow." b ��������� said, "or you'll die on our hands, and we can't spare you yet,"- but the poor beast lay with head stretched along the ground and took no notice of him. It had made up Its mind to die. "Can you help. Doc?" Jim'asked, but tbe doctor shook his head, and lay still, nor was it until nearly an hdur later tbat Combe contrived to get bis companion and the two horses up to tbe top of the cliffs, upon which he built a roaring fire, not only for the sake of comfort, but as a sign to any whom it might concern that they had survived the river crossing. "And now, Doc, I guess you might as well get along towards the ferry. There'll maybe be someone there still, unless they've all given us up for dead. You will haye had about enough for one while, 1 expect." "What! Give up the run when l'v������ Jumped the big brook? Not much. Jim." "Then you mean coming on?" "I started to get there, and I'm going to get there with both feet, my son. aa you would say In your picturesque fashion." Jim pulled at his pipe in silence for gome time, then in a shamefaced way be said: "I owe you an apology, Doctor." "For abduction? Yes, I believe that there is some trivial penalty attached to that form of amusement." "No; not a blanked bit for that. You'd have done the same only I didn't know it. It's just for not knowing you; I'm sorry. I ought to have known you were a man." "I was drunk. Anything Is good enough for a drunk." "There ain't another roan in Caribou would have risked his life as you did, drunk or sober." The doctor laughed. "You did for one, snd that Is life anyway. Do you think that th? less of it would be such a terrible ^a'amity? Think of It!

After Jim Combe's departure a jstrange quiet fell upon the life of the ranch. There were no galloping fhorseB about the corral; there was no inoisy cowbow chaff about the barns. JThe one thing necessary was tbat Frank Anstruther should be kept quiet. (Any movement caused him excruciating pain, and waa likely to disarrange Jthe imperfect bandages in which his (body was swathed, and though he took his punishment with set lips, never [complaining of the pain, he was a bad (patient, restless under restraint, and (excitable to the last degree.

X-lL������ pretty. head_ that tbey frightened her. i \ Bhe began to feel that those burning eyes could see through her into her heart, and for that she was by no means ready yet. ~. _ There was a picture in it upon which she was trying to pass Judgment, a picture of a furious storm in which trees were crashing and roofs lifting and solid substances were being whirled about by some invisible agency, and in the middle of It all a great red roan reared and raged. "Them's baby tricks," she quoted under her breath, and a proud smile spread over her face as she thought of the man who drove the great red devil into the heart of the storm to do her bidding. "I wish that I could have seen Jim start." The voice came from the bed, and Kitty flushed guiltily as she turned towards the speaker. Me did then read her very thoughts. "Why do you say -that?" "It must have been such a grand match between Jim and the stallion. I don't think Jim has his equal as a horseman." "That is what they say about here, but I don't suppose that he would be any good In your country." < "Why my country and not yours?" and then with a generous impulse, "Jim would be good anywhere. Tbe better the class tbe more he wou'd shine in it. Sitting a fence isn't as hard as sitting a buck jumper. Seeming is not worth anything compared to doing," and he pushed irritably at the bedclothes which encompassed him. "Suffering ia harder than either," said a quiet voice at his elbow. "Kitty, make Mr. Anstruther take this, and don't let him worry about Jim. Jim is quite able to take care of himself." Jim's best friend was his worst advocate. It was Just that ability to take care pf himself which told against bim with the woman be loved; just the helplessness and dependence of Anstruther which appealed to Kitty. It almost seemed as if the quiet of the sick room had leaked through the log walls, and pervaded not only the whole ranch, hut nature itself. Even the storm had quieted down after that one wild night. As tbe house lay somewhat lower than the surrounding country, *it was wrapped in a veil of mist, through and above which tbe rising fei:s showed, patched with thin snow, which emphasised the great distances, and the beggarliness ot the November foothills. .. It was the time of the year in which. to a girl like Kitty, the contract between the sheltered life of the 0!d Country and the homelessness of the new would be most apparent, and as ���������be dwelt upon this, looking hour aft r hour into the gloom outside, the only relief to her thoughts was the nece?- iity for waiting upon the man who bad become to her typical of England. To her, in the midst of her reverie, came phon. the Chinese cook. "Missy Bolt here?" "No; Isn't she with tbe Boss?" "No can find her. Ole Mary come, want some clothes. Heap cold,' and the Chinaman gave a sympathetic Shiver. "You go find Missy Rolt; me plenty busy cook him grub.' Kitty looked at Anstruther.; Apparently he was asleep, so humoring the cook, she went down to the library, where Rolt and his wife were sitting. "Poor old soul; what a day for her to come," was Mary Rolt's greeting of the message. "Just the sort of day to make one want more clothes, dear. Have you anything to give her?" asked Rolt. "I can find something, I expect. I am rather glad that she has come, aren't you, Dick? It looks as If the trouble with her people is blowing over." "Perhaps; but the fact that an Indian begs of you means nothing. You know what cultus potlatch m ana." "A free gift, that is a fool's bargain. I know, but i tbink poor old Mary Is grateful and really likes me." Her husband smiled. He was not quite certain which would be the greater miracle, that anyone should not like Mary Rolt, or that an Indian should be grateful. He had known Indians for a lifetime. After his wife had left the room on her mission of charity,-taking Kitty with her to "rummage" in the old clothes box, the Boss eat for some time, smoking and thinking, and his thoughts were not cheerful ones. A good many of his castles in the air had fallen since Anstruther's arrival, and without Jim's help he did not feel as sanguine of ultimate success on the Risky as he had done. A sharp cry called him back frcm the future to the present. "What is it," he called, opening his door. "I dont know, dear, answered his wife from the lumber room. "It must have been Mr. Anstruther who called. "Where is Kitty?" "Here with me, looking out something for old Mary. "She ought not to���������" But at thi6 point be and his wife reached the sick room together, wliere Kitty was already bending over Anstruther. "He has fainted again," she said, chafing his hands helplessly, Trot even as she spoke consciousness returned to him. "I beg your pardon," be murmured, very faintly. "I give you all so much trouble, but when I tried to call you, -I got another nasty one, and went off, I suppose, as usual. It seems to me I can't do anything without fainting" and he closed his eyes wearily, almost as if he were going to illustrate his 1&b������ words y "* "What did you want, old fellow?" asked Rolt, kindly. "We won't leave you again. It was very careless of us to do so." Anstruther lifted his band in deprecating fashion. "Nonsense. I don't want so much looking after, but when Kitty was away I thought that I saw someone in that little room." "In my bath room?" ^ "Yes, Kitty sits there sometimes when she wants me to stop talking and sleep, and I thought that she had come back." "There is no one there now," said Rolt, coming back from tbe room. "Who did you think it was?" s "I don't know. I saw someone peering round tbe door at me. I thought that it was an Indian when 1 eat up and called, you know what happened." "Did you hear the man move?" "No; I only saw the face, or thought that 1 did. but perhaps it was only a sick man's fancy." "He is a fraud, Kitty," decided Rolt, with a good-humored laugh," he want- Kitty for the nonce had donned cap ind apron, and Anstruther was not the first to discover more charm and coquetry in a maid's cap than in her mistress's toilette. "Does the family expect to be waited on or does it stretch?" she asked, saucily. ~ '������������������.���������.��������� "What do you mean, Katherine?

"What was her story?" asked Anstruther. "Oh, she came out to help the poor dear boys, her brothers. They could not afford to hire any help, and just nigged until she came.

POOR OLD MOTHER. In the correspoi dence column of a contemporary there recently appeared a question by a son-in-law with whom his wife's mother had1 been living as to whether other members of the family (three sons), who were said to be able, though unwilling, could be compelled to bear a portion of the expense of the mother's maintenance. She had been ..ving with one of the sons, and the brother-in-law had been asked if she could be boarded in his house, so that the daughter might look after her. This was agreed to, but the board money was not paid, and after eighteen months of squabbling the question was asked. The answer was diplomatic, namely, that the matter was one which required most judicious handling, and that a solicitor should be consulted. Had the person in charge of the question column known of the Canadian overnment Annuities System, the wisest thing he could have done would have been to recommend the purchase of a Government Annuity. At her age (75) an annuity of 1300 ($75 every three months), payable as long as she Uvea, could have been purchased for $1922. j The mother could then have lived happily with her daughter for the remainder of her dayB, the son-in-law would have regarded the family ties would have remained unbroken. But best of all, the comfort and happiness of the dear old mother, who had nursed them in their infancy, had, perhaps, spent many a sleepless night in anxious attendance upon them when the "Dread Messenger" was hovering near, ready to snatch them away from her, and who had guided their young footsteps in the straight and narrow path ��������� prlcelesB services ��������� would then have been assured for all time. Happily in Canada cases of this kind are few, and they will be still fewer in tbe years to come if the boys and girls of today can only be induced to pay into the Annuities System a few cents each week. For example, a young man of 20, by paying in 50 cents a week until he is 60 may purchase an annuity of $352.76; and a young woman starting at same age, and paying a like sum for the same period, could secure an annuity of $311.72, which, owing to her longlvity being superior, is somewhat leBs than he would receive. The age of -50 to a young man or woman of 20 may seem a long way off, but it may interest them to know that, according to mortality experience, of 10,000 of either sex starting at 20 considerably more than 50 per cent, will be still living even at 65. There is more than an even chance that you will be one of the 5,000. Information as to the cost of an annuity at any age may be secured on application to the postmaster, or to the Superintendent of Annuities, Ottawa, to whom your letter may be sent without postage. & CO. 2343 Main St. Phone: Fairmont 497 Grandview and **t IIIII M It I' 111 Mill I IU All church notices, noticeB of births, deaths, marriages and items ot general interest inserted free.

It is reported that little Miss Smith has the distinction of being the first child born in a fire hall in Canada. A tug-of-war team has' been organized at the Cedar Cottage Fire Hall, and Captain Smith promises to give some of the regular teams a hard tussle, as he coached several teams while in the Royal Navy. Mr. Tom Ramsay, late of H. M. S. "Dominion," who has recently become connected with this fire hall, is considered to be one of the best climbers in the brigade. This will add considerably to the efficiency of this division. Following the convention of dressmakers and milliners held in Chicago recently, an active demand has sprung up for "incandescent hats," and a query has been received by the Montreal Light, Heat ft Power Company here, as to whether they would be willing to enter the field other than in their present capacity as a prosperous and well-managed public utility by getting out designs by which lighted flowers could be operated from small dry batteries in the crown of the bat. Power officials say tbey are perfectly willing to attempt anything which will tend to continue the present amicable and friendly relations which tbe company and'public feel towards one another, but tbat experimenting with incandescent hatB might be dangerous. Electricians, for one thing, might make the power so strong tbat it would shock the brains of the wearers, and the expense might be so great that it would severely shock the pocket books of the male members of tbe up-to-fate families who would insist on purchasing tbem.
