Present: Aldermen Gaddes,\nBuckland and Curts. Considerable\ncorrespondence was laid on- the\ntable and dealt with.   -\nA letter was received from James\nGrey, Leeds, Eng., enclosing \u00a35:0:0,\nand asking the council to provide\nboard and lodging'for one John G.\nv Grey, brother of the writer, which\nJohn G. Gray is in'straightened circumstances. A, little discussion\nover this took place as to the man's\nwhereabouts, etc., and the letter laid\naside for attention.\nThe Mayor mentioned-that he\nhad been seen by Mr. Bigger, re the\npower house. Up to the present'\nthere is $580.00 coming to him on\nthis building, which he has completed as far as possible, the installation of-the plant interfering with\nthe finishing- of the work. His\nWorship suggested that it was\nhardly fair fo keep JVlr. Bigger\nwaiting for this money until the\nbuilding is completed, as he is held\nback pending the installation of the\nplant, and that a portion of the\nmoney should be paid forthwith.\nA letter was received from the\nSecretarjTof the Union of Municipalities of B.C., asking that delegates\nbe sent from Kelowna council to\nattend the convention held by the\nUnion in Vernon, in January.\nThe Mayor announced that Mr.\nRussell, the new city plant engineer,\nhad arrived, and taken charge^ of\nthe electrical and water works.\nAid. Gaddes reported on the item\nin the Hinton Electrical Co.'s statement, brought up at last meeting,\nreading:- cash to H.~Taylor, $20.00.\nThis was for travelling expenses incurred by the Hinton Co., in sending\nthis man from the coast, to superintend the installation of the electric\nlight here.\nThe city clerk was instructed to\nreply to James Grey, stating that\nthe council would try to find John\nG. Grey, and do as requested.\nA letter was received from James\nBros., Kelowna, relating to the bye\nfuses which they have had to instal\nin different buildings, by the direction of the city electric installation\ninspector. They, stated that they\nhave been put to considerable expense' in making the necessary\nchanges to instal these fuses, which,\nas they told the inspector, had been\ncondemned by the Board of Underwriters. Still further expense \u2022v^ould\nalso be incurred by changing back\nagain to the first style, as a recent\nletter from the Board of Under-\n\u2014writersrtotaiiy~condemned~the\"~use\"\nof these fuses.

Sept. last, Earl Blackwood,\nin company with John Biset, left civilization behind, and with pack hojse, stakes\nand provisions started for two or three\nmonths wanderings in the wilderness, to enjoy the simple life in_all its simplicity, and\nsome other things. Only those who have\nhad experience can appreciate the care\nfree, life of the trapper, wandering in the\nwilderness, making camp wherever he\nhappens to be, cooking his flap-jack at a\ncamp fire- and sleeping on the springy,\naromatic balsam boughs. Then the invigorating cold mornings up in the mountains,\nwhich fills one with a zeal to be up and\ndoing, the long hard tramps around visiting traps, setting new ones, returning in the\nevening to skin and stretch the days bag,\nand lie around a camp fire to smoke and\nswap yarns. , Only those, we say, can\nappreciate these things who have experienced them.    So our friends found it.\nTravelling until they reached Gray-back\nthey unpacked \u25a0 for their sojourn in the\nwilderness, sending the' horses back with\na couple of men .who accompanied them\nthus far. At a cabin at Gray-back, they\nstored provisions, making it their head camp.\nSetting traps was the first important\nbusiness, ,and each day saw them with\npack on back, containing bannock, pork\nand beans enough for a day or more.and a\nbundle of traps. Setting lines of traps from\nGray-back to \" Mosquito Creek, from\nGray-back to White Mountain and from\nWhite Montain to Blue Ridge, kept them\nbusy for many days. They also set a line\nalong Kettle River Pinnacles which proved\nto be a great fur country.\nWhile trapping along the Pinnacles these\nnomads caught a wolverine alive, and tried\nto bring it home with them. Lacking a\nchain however, they were unable to do this\nas these destructive creatures will soon eat\nthrough \"an \/ordinary rope. Caribou they\nfound .'a number of, and shot one or\ntwo. While camping near the carcass of\none caribou.they were visited by a grisley,\nwho stumbled in, made a hearty meal off\nthe deer, and stumbled off again with the\ngreatest unconcern, no doubt owing his\nwhole skin to the darkness of the night.\nAltho falling in with one or two of these\ngentlemen, they failed to bag any.\nThe sum total of the pelts brought home\nwas pretty good, being twenty-four martin\ntwo wolverines, one lynx, one caribou, and\none black fox. The wolverines were very\ntroublesome and ate up five fine martins\nin the traps.\nMr. Blackwood reports snow in October,\nwhich was succeeded by a thaw. Towards\nthe end of November about two feet of\nsnow fell, and they began to look towards\nhome. Leaving their head camp on Sunday of last week, they started back hpme\n\u2022with their pelts, reaching Kelowna on Saturday last, well pleased with their spell at\nthe rough and ready life of the back\n.woods trapper* , r_\nThird City Liquor License\nCreates Warm Discussion.\nRoyal-Hotel Gets License Jlfter Third Jlpplication.\nK. P. SOCIAL\nOne of those events which give pleasure\nto the participants, took place in the Castle\nHall of Okanagan Lodge No. 27, K. of P.\na few evenings ago when Capt. Knight\nwas presented with a Vetrans Jewel, indicating that he has been a member of the\nOrder for a period of 25 years. The\nJewel, a beautiful^ one, was presented by\nDep. Grand'Chancellor Brown of Revel-\nstoke, who fortunately was on his official\nvisit on that evening. The gift is one from\nWinnipeg Lodge No. 1 of which the Capt.\nhas been a member for the above mentioned period. D.G.C. Brown spoke eloquently in making the presentation, which the\nCapt. received with characteristic modesty\nin a few words. A number of the brethern\ncomplimented the Capt. on his length of\nservice as a K. of P., after which\ndown to a luneheon and enjoyed themselves h) a social manner for some time.\nThe sitting of the commissioners\nto consider the granting of a license\nto Mr. J. E. .Wheeler, of the- Royal\nHotel, was held in the Court House\non Wednesday, 9th. inst, at 4 p.m.\nCommissioners , present: Messrs.\nSutherland, Gaddes and Wilkinson.\nMr. Mclntyre, (Kamloops) and\nMr. Burne, (Kelowna), appeared\nfor the applicant, and Mr. Kerr.\n(Kelowna), for the W.C.T.U. to\nprotest against the granting.\nMr. Mclntyre in opening7 said\nthat he was applying for a licence\non behalf. of Mr. Wheeler? under\nthe Municipal Clauses, Sec. -195;\u2014\n\"Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act any applicant * for a\nlicense in a City Municipality ^containing a population of more' tljian\none thousand under the provisions\nof sub-section six of section J 75,' of\nthis Act to sell wines, spirits, beer\nor other fermented or intoxicating\nliquor in any hotel, containing not\nless than 30 rooms, used , or to be\nused and to' be kept continually in\nuse for hotel purposes, shall not be\nrequired to obtain a petition^ or\nrequisition signed by lot owners\/or\nhouse holders, or by the wives of\neither, for, the granting of \"such\nlicense, but application for such\nlicense shall be made direct to the\nBoard of Licensing Commissioners not less, than 14 days before the\nsitting of said Board, through \" the\nClerk.of said Board. A copy? of\nsuch application shall be pu^li^H^y\nor inserted for thirty days at least\nin a newspaper published in the\nMunicipality where such application is made,.and posted up in a\nconspicious place upon the outside\nof the premises sought to be\nIicen'sed, in such a-manner to be\nreadily perceived by the public, for\na space at least 14 days before the\nsitting of said Board. The Board\nof Licensing Commissioners shall\nnot be bound to grant such license\nif, in the opinion of the majority of\nthe Board then present, the public\ninterests justify a refusal.\nEnlarging on this, Mr. Mclntyre\npointed out that every requirement\nof the clause had been statisfied\nby the applicant, before applying\nfor a license. It was not a case of\nno license being in the place, as\ntwo licenses'were held already by\nthe two $2.00 a day houses, but it\nwas to the public interest that a\n$1.00 a day licensed hotel should\nb~e~in operation]    \\n bearing on the\nC.Blackwood, teaming  150 00\nC.

These\ncountry people had to be considered, and should not be compelled to\nput up at a $2.00 hotel. The only\nresult in shutting out the license for\nthe $1.00 hotel would be to increase the bar receipts for the\nother hotels. Public opinion should\njustify the Commissioners decisions.\nThey are responsible in deciding,\nand should not be coerced. In\ndwelling on the character of\nthe applicant, Mr. Mclntyre read\nan extract from the Caron, Sask,,\nnewspaper, relating to the depar-\n11 satfture \u00b0f Mr. Wheeler, and speaking\nof him in the highest terms.\nIn closing .his first speech Mr.\nMclntyre dwelt on the good locality of the hotel, as a central place\nand not being near churches or\nschools. , ,\nu Mr. Kerr for the W.C.T.U. :-~\n\"Gentlemen, no evidence has been\ngiven that Mr. Wheeler ' has complied with the lawful requirements\nfor a license. Unless a hotel has\n30 rooms, certain petitions have to\nbe filed, under sub-section 6. No\nproof has been given that Mr.-\nWheeler has a 30 room house.\"\nHere ensued a legal argument be-\n.tween counsels, who* indulged in\nsundry witticisms at each other's\nexpense. Mr. Kerr .claimed that\nthe applicant counted landings and\npantries as rooms. A warm discussion on what constituted a room\nwas held, Mr. Mclntyre finally settling the matter by bringing up a\nsworn declaration by Mr. Burne,-\n8hat he, Mr. Burnc, had  counted\nthe rooms, and found 30 ontside\nof, pantries, landings and liquor\nrooms: Mr. Kerr resuming: \"No\nsuch petition has been presented\".\nAnother warm tiff between counsels, and considerable disturbance\nin court here occured. Mr. Kerr\nmaintained'that applicant had failed to make out his legal right. To\nshow that there was no need of a\nnew $1.00 a day licensed hotel,\nMr. Kerr somewhat surprised the\ncourt by saying that the Palace and\nLakeview hotels had $1.00 rates,\none - enterprising proprietor even\ngoing so far as to have the $ 1.00\nrates marked on his letter heads.\nThat there is plenty of accommodation in the temperance hotels, of\nwhich the Royal was one, and he\nsuggested ^ that Mr. Wheeler continue it as a temperance house. It\nwas hardly likely, Mr. Kerr thought,\nthat Mr. Wheeler would buy a\ntemperance house if it was not a\npaying investment. The question\nof situation was brought up, and\nMr. Kerr graphically described the\nhotel as \"a trap for everyone to\nmake them drunk\", referring to\npeople who would have to pass by\nto the- wharf.\nAdopting different tactics, Mr.\nKerr said that it was not known',\nthat the hotel had passed from die\nhands' of Mr. Milligan, who had\nbeen twice refused, and in substantiation stated that he could produce\na letier from Mr. McLellan \"saying\nhe had been' offered the hotel by\nMr. Milligan, since it was taken over\nby Mr. Wheeler. Considerable disturbance and noise was caused in\nthe court, which was well filled\nwith adherents of both sides, but\nwas effectually silenced by Mr.\nKerr asking the Commissioners to\nobserve the difference between the\ntwo elements represented, the well\nordered behaviour of the temperance advocates, and the little less\nthan rowdyism of the others.\nMr. Mclntyre, in reply to Mr.\nKeir's arguments on the matter of\nlocation, pointed out that the practice is general to make hotels conspicuous. The C.P.R. always have\ntheir hotels close to the depots, and\nthe same custom is observed among\nall hotel keepers, and at any rate\nthere was only a difference ,of\ntwelve feet between the Royal and\nthe Lake View. He dwelt on the\nrecent^ petition for a plebiscite,\nwhichhe termed\npertinence,\nGUIS ACHAN RANCH.\nOne of the beauty spots in this district\nis found only about IJ miles from our\nown city, we refer to the Guisachan Ranch,\nowned by'Mr. W. C. Cameron. It was\nour pleasure to visit this ranch one bright,\ncrisp morning last week, and found there\na pastoral scene of unsurpassed beauty,\nsuch as would require the pen of an artist\nto depict. Arriving at the ranch house, by\nway of a pretty driveway through a grove\nof Arbor Vitae, we were welcomed by the\ngenial proprietor himself, and shown\naround.\nThe beauty of the day was only -enhanced by the picturesque appearance of\nthe hills around, with their crests enveloped\nin mists, a purple haze below, and the\nlovely Okanagan Lake gleaming in the\ndistance, whilst the pastures were stocked\nwith cattle, sheep and horses, which\nadded a completeness to the scene.\nThe estate was originally purchased by\nLord Aberdeen, who named itGuisAchan\nafter one of the  Scottish   estates  of Lord\nLOCAL BRIEFSl\n-St. I\na piece of im-\nA plebiscite cannot\ntfe teken by the city council in this\nmatter. \"The council has absolutely\nno control over the Commissioners\"\nsaid Mr. Mclntyre, and the taking\nof a plebiscite would imply that the\nCommissioners were unable to decide the question. He pleaded that\nthis hotel is an absolute necessity\nto the town, as a working man\ncould not afford to patronize a two\ndollar house, and there is no other\naccomodation for them, winding up\nwith a petition that the Commissioners would, acting in their\nofficial capacity, grant a license under sect.\n'195 of the municipal clauses.\nMr. Burne then testified that he had\nmade a personal inspection of the hotel,\nfinding thirty rooms, outside of liquor room,\nlanding and pantry, and every room in use.\nIn summing up Mr. Sutherland, chairman\nof the Commissioners, said that they were\nnot to look at this matter from a temper*\nance standpoint. They had to work on\nlaw only, qualified by public opinion. They\nhad very carefully gone into the matter,\nand found it to the interests of the public\nto have a one-dollar licensed hotel.\nHe had seen fit to refuse this license\ntwice, once on the grounds of accommodation and once on1 account of the character\nof the applicant. Since that time the accommodation had been made to meet the\nlawful \" requirments, and the hotel had\npassed into new hands.\nCommissioner Gaddaa without going into detail stated that he would be guided\nby the wishes of the' people, and what he\nconsidered the best interests of the people,\nand was not in favour of granting the\nlicense.\n, Commissioner Wilkinson stated' his  approval of granting the license.\n~ The  chairman  hereupon declared  the\nlicense granted.\n,The Rev. H. G. Thorpe created a furore\nat' this juncture by coming . excitedly forward, exclaiming hysterically ''Gentleman'\nI would like to say that this decision is a\ndisgrace and scandal _ to, the City\". Mr,\nSutherland called him to time sharply,\nintimating that he was liable \u2022 to imprison-\nment for .contempt of court, but wa\u00bb> dU\u00ab\"\nposed to take a licnient view of the matter.\nTweedmouth, Lady Aberdeen's father.\n\"Guis Achan\" as our Scottish readers will\nno doubt know, is the Gaelic for \"Fir\nField\", and probably was appropriate\nenough when Lord Aberdeen came here,\ntho' now the land is all cleared. The\nranch was later occupied byMajor Marjori-\nbanks, (now present Lord Tweedmouth),\nbrother of Lady Aberdeen, who resided\nhere for twelve months or so.\nFour years ago the property was \"purchased by Mr. Cameron, who is also from\nthe \"Hielan's\", and strangely enough, from\nthe county in which the original Guisachan\nis situated\u2014Ross Shire. Until this time\nMr. Cameron had lived in Qu'Appelle,\nSask., going there direct from Scotland,\n24 years ago. While at Qu'Appelle, ' Mr.\nCameron managed some large estates for\na company, improving and selling' it off\npiece by piece to new comers, disposing of\nit finally about five years ago. \u2022 After winding up his affairs there, Mr. Cameron\nnaturally came to B. C. as the \"Land of\nPromise\", and travelled around extensively,\nvisiting the Kootenay district, Chilliwack\nand the Coast. Coming to the Okanagan\nin 1903 he was shown around by Mr.\nRicardo, of Vernon, and taken to see the\nAberdeen estate here, which was then on\nthe market. He came, he .. saw, and was\nconquered. To quote the gentleman's\nown words, \"This was the one place in\nthe whole country that I wanted to settle\nin\".\nIt was not however, until 1904, that Mr.\nCameron finally purchased this property of\n243 acres, half of the tract owned by Lord\nAberdeen. Although he has some good\norchards, Mr. Cameron pays more attention\nto mixed farming, and has a fine herd of\nthorough bred short horns.\nMr. Cameron pays a high tribute to the\ndelightful climate of the Okanagan, with\nits warm summers and mild winters, but\nwith just enough clear frosty weather to\nmake one tingle with health and enjoyment: '\nLAYRITZ NURSERIES.\nThe Layritz Nurseries of Victoria, last\nyear opened a branch nursery at Kelowna,\nfor the Okanagan. Two years prior to\nthis, they had an agency here in charge of\nMr, Boyer, who is also managing the new\nbranch nursery. There appears to be a\nlarge demand for Layritz stock in this district, and this fall alone, 25,842 fruit trees\nhave been disposed of in Kelowna, besides ornamental trees and shsubs. Last\nyear 20,000 trees were sold for fall and\nspring planting, and next spring a large\noutput is expected on account of so much\nnew land having been prepared. There\nare about 16,000 trees a present in stock in\nthe nursery here, and during the past year\n13,000 young tress have been grown for\nsale, locally. A force of men have been\nkept busy all fall planting trees for some\nof the leading fruit growers and .orchard\ncompanies, in Kelowna. In addition to\nplanting and attending orchards, Kelowna\nbranch attends to the laying out and planting of town lots, lawns) etc. - A good size\nnursery is anticipated in Kelowna, as this\nis the only branch in, the whole' of the\nOkanagan Valley, and all supplies will be\nshipped from here.- '\nWhere Our Money Goes.\nThere is a great rush in the money order\nbranch of the Post Office dept. these days.\nItalians and other classes from Southern\nEurope who have been working on railway construction, arc sending home a\ngreat number of Post Office money orders.\nIt is stated that the orders received in one\nday at trie post office department for\nAustria and Italy totalled nearly $100,000,\ndivided equally among the two countries.\nThe Post Office officials refused to give\nexact figures. The rush of money to\nAustria and Italy is common every year,\nbut this year is exceptional, The figures\nare for all Canada west of Ottawa. ,\n)\nMr.U. S.

Pointing to a\nlocal in the Record about lawn\ntennis played by Kelowna residents\nin the middle of November, he\nasked in a voice quavering with ex-\ncitment, if we could beat this, and\nplanked down the photo which\nwas taken at Roleau, Sask., Dec,\n11th, 1907, and showed a party\nplaying lawn tennis. Someone\ntake the shine out of him please.\nTHOSE FREIGHT RATES.\nThe Vernon Okanagan well says:\nthe entire valley from' the mainline\nto Keremeos, ought to unite solidly in a fight for better freight-and\nexpress rates from the C.r.R. It\nwould be a hard fight under even\nordinary conditions, but we are so\ncompletely at the mercy of the C.\nP.R. that it requires an absolute\nunited front if we are to receive\nthe consideration we are entitled\nto, and at least an even break with\nOntario for the markets of the\nNorthwest.\"\nBETTER FIRE PROTECTION.\nThis is a matter that should\nappeal to every citizen of Kelowna,\nand more especially those owning\nproperty in the business quarters.\nWhat are we going to do in case\nof an outbreak of fire ? We have\nall the equipment but no brigade.\nThe hazardous nature of some of\nof the buildings in our city renders\nthis question a grave one, and one\nthat should be dealt with right\naway. We have at present in the\nFire Hall a gasoline engine, and\n1300 feet of hose, together with\naccessories, and are paying a. man\na salary of $100.00 per month, to\nact as engineer, and that is as far\nas it goes. No one needs to be\ntold that orgnization and promptness are essential in fighting a conflagration,! and^yet   Kelowna,  al\nthough up to date in other respects\nis deplorably deficient in this.   The\nCity Council have started installing\nthe  water plant,   and when com\npleted, we shall have better facilties\nfor fire fighting than ever.    Seven\nhydrants will be erected, five with\nin the fire'limits,  one at the saw\nmill, and one at the power house.\nThere will be a 20 H, P. engine,\ncapable of pumping280 gallons a\nminute, with-a pressure of 125 lbs.\nat the city mains.    Tools however,\nare no use without the workmen,\nand   all this   fire   apparatus   will\nbe useless in the hands of a disorganized  mob, such as speedily\ngather at a fire.   There are many\nsuggestions as to how this may be\ndone.    It might be  a purely volunteer   brigade,  or a small wage\nt^y \u00a3 paid to members for each practice,\nfk y.. and a bonus at each fire call.   One\n, large fire in this town, will cost a\n> great deal more than any brigade,\n, besides   endangering   human life,\n\" and ' yet one might break out at\nany time.  With our hotels always\n\u201e' well, filled, schools etc., the gravity\n^of   the   situation    cannot   be   loo\nstrongly 'dwelt on, and every effort\nput forward to start aud keep go-\n|\u00a3  ' vWan efficient fire  brigade.

Dolls all sizes and\nshapes, dressed by the young:. ladies for\nthe kids, home made candy that was \"just\ntoo delicious,\"a fish pond for the piscatorial,\nafternoon tea for. everyone, and fortune\ntelling extraordinary.' It is pleasing to note\nthat this undertaking was successful finanl\ncially, $150.00 being received, as the cause\nis worthy of the united efforts of everyone',\nand the young Ladies at the back of this\nundertaking are to be heartily congratulated on the result of their labours. The\nmoney, as most people know, is to be used\nin co-operation with the Senior Ladies'\nAid in completing the basement of the\nKelowna Hospital, which is badly needed.\nThe Ladies would like it known, that\nsome very nice dolls are left over, and can\nbe seen at any time at Mrs. Boyce's home.\nThose wanting dolls please bear this in\nmind.

This\ngentleman has been lecturing in\nu.iiferent points in B. C, under the\ndirections of the provincial government, ami with his 26 years experience in fruit growing, is well (nullified to cleaL with the Question. Unfortunately, the meeting mentioned\n.-.as poorly advertised by notices here\n:inri there, and very few knew anything about it\", consequently the attendance waa very small. The topics treate.i on were as follows\u2014\nolimatic Conditions, Irrigation,\nPlanting, Clover Seed, Holes, Subsoil, Heading, Trimming, Roots,\nPruning, Summer Pruning, \"Hood\nRiver,'-' Thinning, Walnuts, Spraying, Institute Meetings. Mr. Heath-\nsnvell dealt, with each item as fully\nas time would allow, and answered\nmany questions.\nThe very important matter of\nlighting pests was especially interesting to fruit growers, and somu\nvaluable pointers were given, and a\ndemonstration on pruning was also\ngiv-)ii on some apple trees brought\nin for the purpose. Mr. Heatherweli\n-admitted that this place leads any\nhe has yet visited, and says that it i.s\nan ideal country for fruit and market\ngardening. Among other things Mr.\nHeatherweli emphasized the fact\nthat farmers here should grow good\nfruit, and good fruit only. No tree\nshould be allowed to bear less than\na No. 2 grade apple. The more good\nfruit the more will be sold. It is n\nmistake too, to culti'vate too many\nvarieties. The Newton \u2022 Pippin,\nSpitzeriberg, Jonathan and Mcintosh\nRed, in the order mentioned, being\nabout the best in Mr. Heatherwell's\nopinion. If this place could turn\nout a good crop of fruit of not more\nthan two or three varieties, and so\nget known for these varieties, ,the\nbuyers would come right here, and\nbuy the crop on the trees, paying\nthe best prices. As regards spraying, Mr. Heatherweli thinks Rex\nSprays are best, though he did not\nwish to appear to be advertising. He\nexplained in-detail'how .these sprays\nexcelled others, and gave some useful formulae in the'making of these.\nMr. Heatherweli goes so far as to\nsay it is a spray that it is essential\nto use. This matter of spraying is\ndealt with fully, and the various formulae given, in the annual report\nof the Fanners' Institute, which will\nW^afly^WtlSv^Wery^Wl^'^of\nthis institute can obtain one of these,\nand those that are not, are strongly\nurged to pay their 50c. and join, if\nonly in order to get this.report. In\nhis closing remarks Air. Heatherweli\nrecommended those present to get\nthe ladies to Join the institute. Get\nthem interested. Me felt that their\npresence war. necessary to make the\ntiling a success. Unfortunately none\nof the fair sex were present, hut it\nIs hoped that Mr. Heatherwoll's appeal was not in vain.\nIt Will Pay You\nTo have T. H.

The recent\nattempted assassination of Sir Andrew\nFraser, Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, at\nCalcutta, by a student, denotes a daring in\na marked degree', and the Pall Mall Gazette\nwarns England of the impending danger :--\n\"It cannot be long before the Government\nis forced to take comprehensive military\nprecautions in India,\" declares The Gazette.\n\"The situation has become so alarming\nthat it is now impossible to minimize the\ndanger which faces the British Government.\"\nAfter declaring that the Indian movement possesses, evidence of a systematic\npropaganda on the part of .the revolutionists to tamper with the native troops, The\nGazette concludes:\n\"After numerous enquiries we are able\nto,state that the Government views the\nsituation as even more serious than that\njust prior to the great outbreak,because it\nis headed by intelligent men, communication is easier, and it is also easier to procure arms.\"\nBritain and Germany\nThe latest \"calculated indiscretion\" on\nthe part .of the German Emperor has had\nconsequences which will compel the very\nserious attention'of all the States of the\nBritish Empire. The'Emperor's hope'of\nbettering Anglo-German relations has been\ndisappointed; his candid admission that\nthe majority of German people are unfriendly to England has changed what was\nformerly only a -suspicion in the minds of\nmany Englishmen,-into a~disagreeable~cerr\ntainty, and nobody in England is satisfied\nwith his explanation of German naval\npolicy. The Germans, on their side, are\nangry beyond measure that their Emperor\nshould have risked a rebuff by condescend,\ning to make an appeal for British friendship, and the manner in which they are\nvoicing their exasperation shows how very\ndeep and general German dislike of England is. It is impossible for anyone to continue to disregard the possibility of an\narmed conflict between Briton and Teuton.\nIt goes without saying that on the British\nside at least everything will be done that\ncan be done to avoid a conflict, but with\nthe knowledge that German public opinion\nis hostile to us, and that the increase of\nthe German navy is to go on\" unceasingly,\nwe are bound, as a simple measure' of\nprecaution, to prepare for war., The naval\nforce,'which is steadily growing to enormous* prop'ortions,'on the other \"aide of the\nNorth Sea, threatens the Empire at its very\nheart,' and, as a single defeat of British\narms in home Waters would shatter the\nwhole fabric of British power) we shall be\ncompelled to concentrate'our' fleets *till\nmore[ towards the point of danger, and\nweaken'still further theYquadroris we can\nafford to keep in the distant seas.'

'\nOF\nl> A trip, from the prairie country of\nSaskatchewan to,,the Okanagan is\nso full-of. charms that we''h'ardly\nknow where to begin in giving our\nopinion of this lovely -valley, the\ngarden of Canada. -   ..\u00ab\nThe grandeur of the scenery- coming through the Rockies, with their\nsnow-clad peaks towering above us,\nfilled us with a feeing, something\nakin to awe, only to be dispelled.by a\nsight of the pretty chateaux here and\nthere along the route.* Then the\nclimate. Leaving the prairie clad In\nfurs and mufflers, we had to gradually discard our wafm clothing, until\nby the time we reached Vernon, we\nfound ourselves in summer attire.\nIt was a wonderful contrast to us,\nafter leaving snow and ice, to find\nanother summer, or part of one,\nwaiting for us on this side'of the\nRockies, and to actually see flowers\nin bloom in the' open, was, in the\nexpressive if somewhat inelegant vernacular of the prairie, \"a sight for\nsore eyes.\" One thing that struck\nus forcibly after entering the valley\nwas the air of prosperity in all the\ntowns and-hamlets, evidenced by the\nfine substantial buildins, and conveniences in the way of\u2022 telephones,\nelectric lights and waterworks. We\nwere privileged to see some of the\nfruit, etc., grown here, packed ready\nfor shipping. We had heard of these\nthings before back east, but \"the half\nhad never been told,\" If it had, we\nnever believed it. The size and\nquality of the fruit shown us were\nindeed an eye-opener, as we never\nsaw anything like' it in Eastern Saskatchewan. Down there we grow\nnothing but wheat, and have to dodge\nthe hail, frost, and the grain exchange, too, to make a living. We\ndo not wish, however, to be too hard\non the prairie.\" It1 is the home of\nhundreds of prosperous farmers, and,\nwill be the home of hundreds more,\nbut we cannot help regretting that we\ndid not come here ,sooner.\nTruly the people of the Okanagan\nValley have a wonderful heritage,\nand are justly proud of it.' A future\nof prosperity is practically assured\nwith the immense country to the\neast for a market, and with the advent of better transportation facilities, we shall soon see the Okanagan\nValley one large orchard.\nBelleview Hotel Changes Hands.\nThe Belleview Hotel, at South Okanagan\nchanged hands last week, the new proprietor being Mr. G.

It was in. 1886 when Mr. Munson left Ontario for the \"wild and\nwoolly west,\" and the country'was\nnot like it'is to-day. Kelowna -was\nof course'non-existent, and white settlers very scarce. To get here Mr.\nMunson had to leave the C.P.R. at\nKamloops, and take stage from\nthere to Enderby. Prom Enderby\nto Similkameen the journey was\nmade in that luxuriant ease one finds\non the back of a mule. We were\nnot a little amused at his description\nof his preparation for the journey.\nBefore leading the old home, Mr.\nMunson fortified himself with a revolver, a flask of whisky, and a Bible.\nOn the journey from Enderby Mr.\nMunson was compelled to drop off\nsome of his' packs here and there,\nfinally reaching Similkameen with a\nrevolver, a flask of whisky and a\nBible. This      gentelman,      like\nthe rest of the old timers,\nthinks there is no;place like Kelowna, but pointed out to us that there\nis a first-class opening for dairying.\nGrass can be -grown so plentifully\nthat feed would- be cheap. With the\ntwo crops of hay grown here each\nyear, one could safely count on about\nfive or six tons per acre, if it was\nthe right kind, like _clover. Cattle\nthrive splendidly, and butter, etc.,\nwould find a ready market at good\nprices right here. At present it is\nmostly imported. Poultry farming,\nalso, should be encouraged, in Mr.\nMunson's opinion, and there is a\ngood thing here for the right party\nin the poultry line.\nWe are now ready with a grand showing of\n1 llCXO\noocis\nHANDKERCHIEFS\u2014HANDKERCHIEFS\nWe. are showing a magnificient range of these gnods\nin plain and embroidered linen, real lace, etc.,\nLadies Department\nLadies' Lace and Silk Blouses\nLadies' Fancy Collars\nLadies' Belts\nLadies' Silk Head Shawls\nLadies' Lace Ties\nLadies' Kid Gloves\nGents Department\nNew Neckwear\nNew Fancy Vests\nNew Silk' Mufflers\nNew Fancy Sox\nNew Silk Handkerchiefs\nNew Gloves |(silk lined)\nFOR THE  KIDDIES\nDOLLS!
