C, Saturday, March 13, 1909.\n$1.00 Per Year in Advance.\nFRUIT INDUSTRY\nSubject of an Address by M.\nBurrell Before the Canadian Olub\nThis Province Will Become\nGreatest fruit Producer\nin World\nThe following address was delivered by Martin Burrell, M.P. for\nYale-Cariboo, before the Canadian\nclub, Ottawa, February 20, 1909:\nMr. Burrell said tbat there were\nfour great industries in British Columbia\u2014mining, lumbering, agriculture with horticulture associated,\nand fisheries. His own subject was\nhorticulture in British Columbia, a\nsubject in which he had a deep interest both from a commercial and\nsentimental point of view. He quoted\nProf. Robertson's statement that life\nwas at its best where children bad\norchards to play in, and went on to\nshow tbe refining influences of fruit\ngrowing upon society. He ran quickly over the history of fruit growing\nin British Columbia, fr im the planting of the first fruit tree in 1847 by\nMr. James Douglas, chief factor of\nthe Hudson's Bay company, up to\nthe present tremendous development\nwith 75,000 acres in orchard, a great\ndeal of it under irrigation. The first\nshipment to outside markets was\nmade in 1897, In 1902 tbe province\nproduced 2000 tons of fruit; in 1904\n301)0 tons, valued at $250,000, and\nin 1908 over $1,000,000, which fruit\nwas marketed not only in the northwest and Great Britain, but in far-\noff Australia. Mr. Burrell said that\nthe development of the fruit industry in British Columbia was only at\nits beginning, because, aside from\nthe fact that there was much ground\nstill to be planted, only 10 per cent\nof tbe area thus far planted was now\nin bearing. Tbe speaker explained\nbriefly tbe general features of the\nclimate of British Coluinbin.showing\ntbat, while the presence of the coast\nrange, and, further inland, the Sei\nkirk, tended to produce areas of\nheavy precipitation through drawing\nthe moisture from the clouds driven\nin from the Pacific, there mus between theBe ranges a great valley\ncountry which might be culled semi\narid, and for the best utilization of\nwhich irrigation was necessary. He\nshoweved that experience had proved\nthat fruit could be grown much\nhigher up on the mountain slopes\nthan had at first been supposed. His\nown town of Grand Forks wan 1700\nfeet above sea level and was the centre of a splendid fruit raising district. He explained how the progress of tbe art of horticulture made\nit possible to produre excellent results with far less water supply than\nwas ut first deemed mc ssary, so\nttial with a given expenditure on\nirrigation works, fruit cultivation\nmight be extended over an immense\nurea.\nAs to the character of the fruit\ngrown in the Okanagan vallty and\nelsewhere in British Columbia, he\ncvud that it was rather the habit of\nsome people in the east, as well as\nin England, to say that, while British Columaia fruit had a pleasing\nappearance, and while the orchard\nyielded abundantly, the fruit lacked\nquality. This he spoke of as a pleasing fiction. An Englishman, be said,\nthought tbat an apple waB no good\nunless it was so hard that when he\nbit it brought tears to his eyes\u2014\nanything leas durable he called \"mellow'' or \"soft.\" He told of the\nprize s won by British Columbia fruit\nin competition with the very hest\nthat could be produced elsewhere.\nAt the great show of the Pacific\nCoast Fruit Growers' association, at!\nwhich the best growers of Oregon J\nand Washington were represented,\nBritish Columbia took the 8100 gold\nmedal for the best five cases. And\nat the first great national apple show,\nheld at Spokane last year, which\nwis attended by buyers not only\nfrom all parts of the United States,\nbut from Europe as well, one valley\nin British Columbia, whicb took\nthere a small exhibit, won 85500 iu\nprizces and took also the cup for the\nbest individual apple in color, texture and quality in the whole exhibition. At the Royal Horticultural\nsociety's exhibition in London,\nwhere the judges were the most\ncritical in the world, for six consecutive yeara British Columbia had\ncaptured the gold medaf.\nOne great advantage enjoyed by\nthe fruit growers of British Columbia was the high percentage of No.\n1 fruit produced by the orchards.\nMr. Burrell said tbat in a British\norchard not more than 10 per cent\nof the fruit would average first-class.\nIn Ontario a liheral estimate would\nbe from 30 to 50 per cent. He believed he was absolutely safe in saying that the percentage in Baitish\nColumbia would be not less than 70.\nIn his own orchard he had found as\nhigh as 95 per cent grade No. 1 fruit.\nThis was due to the absence of fungous and insect pests. He recognized\nthe fact that these would probably\nappeir with the later development\nof the business of horticulture But\nhe was sure that the people of the\neast would sympathize with British\nColumbia in taking every means\npossible to keep these pests out of\nthe province. Fruit growing in British Columbia had now reached wbat\nmight be called a real estate stage,\nwben tbe careful operator would sell\nto guileless people for $100 an acre\nland tbat cost him $h. But, though\na multiplication ol cases of this kind\nmight cause many to believe that the\nfruit growing of British Columbia\nwas not a sound business, yet they\nshould recognize that there was a\nsolid and honest development. As\nthis development continued, he believed, British Columbia would become one of he greater fruit producing countries of the world.\nNEWS OF THE CITY\nProfessional Hockeyists Miss\nan Opportunity to Establish Records\nJeff Davis & Oo. Will Erect\na Two-Story Brick Business Block\nMarch Rod and Oun\nFish and game protection work\nthrougnout Canada forms a prominent\ntopic in the March issue of Rod and\nGun. In addition to a sketch of the\nmeetings, of the North American\nFish and Game Protective association,\nthe organizations of three provinces\nalso received attention, while in Ontario it likewise comes in for special\ntreatment. Although so much space\nis given to this important work of aiding the conservation of Canada's natural resources, sportsmen will not be\ndisappointed in the usual fare provided for them. The Hon. Chas.\nScott tells in graphic language of a\nsuccessful moose hunt in New Brunswick, while the Finest Hunt of the\nWolf Itiver Hunt Club is one no\nsportsman will read unmoved. An\nincident of the wolf hunt now in progress in Northern Ontaria should not\nbe overlooked, while Dr. Hornaday's\nIdeals of Sportsmanship will recommend themselves to all. These ideals\nwill be cherished, aimed at and worked up to aud cannot fail to have a\nmarked effect on the future of spurt\nthroughout thu northwest portion of\nthe continent. A description of British Columbia new game preserve,\nwith many other articles, including a\nparticularly good one on Fur Trading\nWith Indians in the Far North, departments replete with information\nand a special account of the Hamilton\ntrap shooting tournament, make up a\nnumber appealing to every lover of the\ngreat out-doors and one full of vivid\ninterests tu them all.\nA great hockey game was to have\nbeen played last Saturday night, but\nowing to the fact that the prime promoter hitched the cart before the\nhorses, so to speak, the event will\ngo down into sporting history as\none of the things .that might have\nhappened. And thus some one's\nchance of attaining crimson\nglory and undying fame was\nprematurely blasted. Mr. Promoter\nhurriedly organized his two hockey\nteams, composed of business men\nwho were amateur skaters a fortnight ago, but wbo by assiduously\npracticing skating on whatever point\nof the anatomy happened to come\nin contact with the ice, bave since\nblossomed out into profession,.!\nhockeyists. Thc fourteen men,\nversed in all the science of the game,\nincluding prize fighting, marched\ndown to the rink,jubilantly brandishing their implements of warfare,\nand wearing \"their new uniforms,\nwhich presented an enravishing picture of lovelines under the brilliant\nelectric lights, and brought forth\nsalvos of applause from the multitude of citizens that crowded the\nline of march. The players marched\nto the rink\u2014then marched home\nagain. The man who had arranged\nevery other detail of the game, had\nforgotten about the ice. As it was\noccupied at the time, there was no\nroom for tbe players at that particu\nlar time. Some of the players who\nwere lured to the rink are not yet\nperfectly satisfied tbat the promoter\nof the game is really aware that ice\nis an essential element of hockey.\nSpeaking in strictly Berious strain,\nhowever, a number of the would-be\nplayers felt decidedly grieved at\nwhat they called the arbitrary dictatorship of the management. They\nsay that the citizens hive dealt very\nliberally with the rink, and that it\nwould have been a courteous act on\nthe part of the association to have\nturned the building over to the players for an hour. Furthermore, they\nclaim it would have heen io the interest of rink people to have done\nso, as it is events of this nature that\nmakes everybody take an interest in\nterest in the sport, and is consequently an important factor in preparing\npatrons for the rink. But with these\npoints The Sun is not concerned.\nAnother Brick Block\nThe plans for Jell Davis ct Co.'s\nnew brick block are now nearly\ncompleted. Tho building will be\n100x60 feet, two stories high, and\nwill occupy the sito of the present\ns'ore, which is to be torn down.\nDuring the course of construction\nthe firm will probably carry on its\nbusiness in a tent across the street\nfrom its present premises. The\ncontract for the brick for the new\nbuilding has been let to Peter Vere-\ngin.\nSale of Residential Property\nH. A. Sheads, the real estate dealer, made two residential sales during\nthe present week\u2014a house and lot\non Main street, opposite the Methodist church, to Mrs. Wm. Wallace,\nand a residence on Third street,\nsouth of Main street, to Stuart Carruthers.\nRanch Sold\nThe sale of tbe Coryell ranch, consisting of something like 900 acres,\nwas consummated last week. Peter\nVeregin and associates making a\ncash payment and taking possession of the property. Mr. Veregin\nhas also purchased, through McCallum k McArdle, 160 acres of mountain land west of the Newby ranch.\nThis land was acquired principally\nfor the purpose of running irrigation ditches over it to the Coryell\nranch. It is understood that the\nnew owners of the Coryell rauch\nhave contracted for all the unsold\nnursery stock in the Riverside nurseries, and that a large number of\ntrees will be planted on the property\ntbis spring.\nWill Appeal\nTbe Sun has received the infdrma-\ntion from an authentic source that\nthe case of The Eastern Townships\nBank vs. Vaughan, involving the\nwater right on the Covert estate, will\nbe appealed to the privy council,\nthe highest tribunal in the empire.\nThe case has been carried from\ncourt to court during the past four\nyears.

This ore is being moiled\nout on canvass and the higher grade\nsacked and stored in the vault of the\nFerry County State bank. This is\nby far the richest ore ever found in\nthe Republic district. The nearest\napproach to these values was two\ncars of ore shipped by Patrick Clark,\nwhich netted .$7500 each. The estimated value of the ore broken down\nin the mine and at the Granby and\nTacoma smelters is $25,000. The\ncoinpany now employs fifty men. A\ncar of machinery for the mine is be-\nj ing unloaded today. Two cars of\nore will be shipped next week.

The train left the Kettle Valley depot at about 7 o'clock,\nbut the run up the hill was tedious,\nand the Grand Forks contingent did\nnot reach Pboenix|till 10:30. Phoenix\nstarted in on the game strong and\nquickly scored three goals before the\nvisitors had found the net. At half\ntime the score was 3-2 in favor of\nPhoenix. The second half started\nat 11:25.
