Bush fires had been raging\nj on the opposite side of the Elk\nj River for some time, and wher\nthe mills of the Elk Lumber Co.\nand the Cedar Valley Lumber\nCo. took fire the embers blew\ni across the stream. In a short\ntime the place with the exception of a few buildings was in\nfiames. The loss of life cannot\nbe accurately ascertained as yet,\nbut undoubtedly early reports\nwere exaggerated. The fatalities, it is now believed, will\namount to something over forty.\nThe loss of property will amount\nto between six and eight millions,\nand the insurance companies will\nlose two and one-half millions.\nBesides millions of dollars worth\nof timber have been ruined.\nFirst reports indicated that\nCoal Creek, Hosmer, Sparwood\nand Michel had also been destroyed, but later despatches\nstate that Michel is still safe, its\nloss being confined to the buildings on the first flat near the\nGreat Northern depot and a half-\ndozen cars in the Canadian Pacific yard. In Hosmer the residences were burned but the\ntipple and mine buildings erected\nby the C. P. R. are safe.\nRelief work was prompt, assistance in the way of money, provisions and clothing coming in\nfrom every hand, the cash donations already totalling over $30,-\n000. The councils of Victoria,\nVancouver, New Westminster,\nWinnipeg, and numerous smaller\nplaces promptly voted sums for\nthe relief of the sufferers, and\nprivate subscription lists have\nalso been opened. To Spokane\nbelongs the credit for running\nthe first relief train into Fernie.\nEvery dollar that can be contributed to the relief fund will\nb3 needed. Every resident of\nPenticton doubtless feels that he\nshould do something.\nPenticton Stage and Livery\nStables.\nStage Connects with Steamer 'Okanagan\" at Penticton, with Great Northern\nRailway at Keremeos, and with stage to Hedley and Princeton.

After a short address\nby the chairman, W. F. H. Swinton gave a very satisfactory report of the committee appointed\nto arrange conveyance for the\nladders and buckets, and for the\nstorage of same. The work of\norganization was then taken up,\nand a motion by Messrs. Swinton\nind Greer that a committee oi\nsix, one of whom should be a\nmember of the executive of the\nBoard of Trade, be appointed to\nhave the management of the department was carried. The committee named were J.('.Fleming,\nI. Dignan, J. W. Edmonds, W.\nF. H. Swinton, and John Power,\nwith W. J. Clement from the\nBoard of Trade.\nThe election of chief was next\ndiscussed, whereupon Messrs.\nSwinton and Dignan moved that\na roll for volunteers to the brigade be taken and that the members then elect their own chief.\nThe motion was carried. The\nroll was immediately opened,\nwhereupon twenty-two present\nimmediately subscribed their\nnames. J. Dignan, J. W. Ed\nmonds and E. J. Finch were\nnominated for the position. A\nballot was taken and the decision\nwas in favor of Mr. Dignan.

Samon, representing the\nHavana Cigar Syndicate of Winnipeg, Man., was in Penticton on\nTuesday in the interests of the\nbranch factory recently opened\nat Kelowna. Mr. Samon was exhibiting cigars, the product of\nnative grown tobacco, in an endeavor to interest people in this\nvicinity in the growing of the\nleaf.\nThe Kelowna factory was\nopened on the 19th of July and\nsix cigar makers and about the\nsame number of other employees\nare engaged, turning out 3,000\ncigars daily. Larger premises\nhave been leased and the staff is\nto be increased at once so that\n10,000 cigars daily may be manufactured. It is the intention to\nmove the entire factory from\nWinnipeg to Kelowna, so enthusiastic are the company of the\nsuperior quality of Okanagan\ngrown tobacco for cigar purposes.\nIn order to supply the factory,\nit will be necessary to induce\nother places than Kelowna to go\ninto tobacco culture, and Mr.\nSamon assures the growers that\nthe syndicate will guarantee to\nbuy all the leaf they can produce,\nand a little more. The price\nwill average about ten cents per\npound, and at this figure Mr.\nSamon claims two hundred dol\nlars worth of tobacco per acre\nmay be grown between the fruit\ntrees without interfering in any\nway with them. Tobacco can be\ngrown successfully on any kind\nof ground.\nOne thing that has much interfered with the industry hitherto\nhas been the fact that growers\nbelieved they would have to\nerect larga sheds for drying purposes. Mr. Samon says that this\nis unnecessary as the plants may\nbe dried equally well in the open\nair. After they are dried the\ncompany store them in their own\nsheds where they are cured.\nThis should greatly simplify\nmatters, and prove a great inducement for growers to take up\nthe business.\nIf sufficient notice be given,\nthe syndicate will supply growers\nwith whatever plants they may\nrequire. This would not only\nprove a convenience, but the\ngrowing of the proper varieties\nwould be assured. Any further\ninformation may be obtained by\napplying direct to the syndicate\nat Kelowna.\nWestward Ho!\nThe August number of Westward Ho! commences the third\nvolume and is replete with many\ngood stories and articles, which\ngive it a standing equal to many\nof the older monthlies.\nIn his department 'Men I Have\nMet' the editor has a capital pen\nsketch of Sir Wilfred Laurier.\nBonnycastle Dale, the well-known\nnatural history writer, contributes an illustrated study on\n'Birds in Flight.'
