There was\na fair attendance and considerable business was transacted. In\nthe absence of the president, tht\nvice-president, A. H. Wade, occupied the chair. The minutes\nof the previous meeting were\nread and adopted, after which\nthere was some discussion relative to business conducted thereat. A number of questions of\nimportance to the community at\nlarge were discussed at some\nlength after which several formal resolutions were introduced.\nJ. J. Hunter, seconded by Jos.\nA. Nesbitt, introduced the following :\nResolved, that in view of the\ngreat advantage that statistics\nfor crop prospects are to a community, this Board engage a man\nto ascertain the number of trees\nof the various kinds now planted\nand living, the report to cover\nths number of one, two, and\nthree year old apple, peach, pear,\nplum, and cherry trees in the\nterritory lying between Four-\nMile Point on Okanagon Lake\nand Four-Mile Point on Lake\nSkaha: further, that each year\nthe Board take the necessary\nsteps to keep accurate information in this line, not only for the\nlo:al interests to whom such is\nusjful, but also for advertising\npurposes.\nConsiderable discussion followed this resolution. Some were\nof opinion that a year later would\nbe a more suitable occasion ;\nothers that owing to the exaggerated statistics furnished by other\nsections on the same subject, an\naccurate record of the fruit trees\nin this vicinity would, therefore,\nbe valueless for advertising purposes. It was eventually decided\nthat the funds at the disposal of\nthe Board were too limited to\nparmit the carrying of the proposition through, and it was withdrawn.\nThe old standing question of a\nbridge across Okanagan River at\nthe outlet of Okanagan Lake and\nthe connection of the road therefrom with that to Summerland\nn\:xt came up, a, resolution being\nmoved by W. J. Clement and G.\nF. Guernsey that the provincial\ngovernment be again approached\nrelative to the work. The motion\nwas carried.\nA resolution introduced by W.\nJ. Clement and J. J. Hunter requesting the Dominion government to establish a telegraph\nservice over the telephone line\nbetween Kelowna and Penticton,\nthe same as that existing between\nVernon and Kelowna was also\npassed.\nThe question of a new wharf\nwas then broached and Norman\nHill and A. S. Smith introduced\na resolution requesting the provincial government to build a\nwharf at the foot of Main St. It\nwas thought by some that,\nshould the government build a\nwharf there, it might prove an\nobject in the way of the C. I'. R.\nmaking its terminus at that\npoint, as the railway would require its own wharf; further,\nthat as the railway company was\ncertain to begin construction by!\nnext year, it would be best to let\nthe matter rest. The resolution\nwas in consequence withdrawn.\nThe Board being entitled to\nt vo delegates to the irrigation\nc invention at Vernon on Aug.\n10, the question of their appointment was considered, and was\nfinally left in the hands of the\nprjsident.\nIt was decided to call a public\nmeeting on the following Tuesday\nevening to discuss fire protection\nand organize some sort of fire\nbrigade. Messrs. Power, Greer,\nSwinton, Mitchell and Kendall\nwere appointed a committee to\nreport at the meeting as to the\ncost of some sort of conveyance\nfor buckets and ladders, as well\nis to secure a place for storing\nsame.\nJos. A. Nesbitt and C, F. Lay-\nt>n gave notice that at the next\nmeeting they would introduce a\nresolution to reduce the annual\nsubscriptbn see for, members of\nth.3 Board from $5.00 to $2.50.\nIt was decided to call a meeting\nlatjr to discuss the question of\nincorporation.\nThe meeting then adjourned.\nTour of Delegates to Convention\nA unique feature in connection\nwith the second annual convention of the Western Canada Irrigation Association to be held in\nVernon during the week from\nAugust 10th to 17th, will be the\nspecial arrangements that are\nbeing made to give the visitors\n| every opportunity to see the\nt most interesting section of the\ncountry.\nOn the way to Vernon on the\n10th of August a stop of two or\nthree hours.will be made at Armstrong, where the citizens will\nprovide teams and drive thedele-\n! y;ates through the district. One\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD special reason for the stop at\ni Armstrong will be to impress\n! upon the delegates the strong\nlocal feeling that immediate steps\nshould be taken in the direction\nof forest preservation on account\n!of its close relation to the question of water supply.\nMonday afternoon and evenirg\nand Tuesday will be devoted to\nbusiness sessions at Vernon, a\nmost comprehensive series of\npapers and addresses having\nbeen secured, and much important discussion arranged for.\nOn Wednesday the delegates\nwill be driven over the Irrigation\nsystem of the White Valley\nPower and Irrigation Company,\nincidentally passing the Coldstream Ranch, Lord Aberdeen's\nfamous fruit property.\nFor Thursday, Friday and Saturday steamers have been chartered from the C. P. R. for . an\nexcursion down Okanagan Lake,\nand arrangements have been\nmade to drive the delegates over\nthe irrigation systems at Kelowna, Peachland, Summerland\nand Penticton.\nThis opportunity to combine\nbusiness with pleasure, and visit\none of the most interesting sections of British Columbia, while\nalso taking part in a convention\nwhich has for its object the furtherance of one of the most important movements ever started\nin Canada, is an altogether exceptional one, and no one who is\neligible as a delegate can afford\nto neglect.\nMidsummer Sale !\nGloves, Hosiery, Wash Belts, Summer\nDress Goods, Blouse Lengths.\nWhite and Black Silk Platted Gloves, f length regular $1.25 for $1.00\n\" Pure Silk \" \" \" 1.00 \" 75\nWhite, Black, Fawn and Grey Lisle Gloves \" 75 \" 60\nPlatted \" \" 50 \" 40\n(i ii i* *'TJ 51, PENTICTON.\nFirst-Class Accommodation For Tourists or Commercial Men.\nRATES $2.50 PER DAY\nA.

The jailer took the lantern\nfrom his assistant, held it high and\nlooked round the room, while I.erinon-\ntoff gazed at him In anxiety, wondering whether that brutal looking olli-\nclal suspected anything. Apparently\nhe did not, but merely wished to satisfy himself that everything was iu '\norder, for he said more mildly than he\nhad hitherto spoken:\n\"It is a long time since nny one occupied this cell.\"\nTheu his eye rested ou the vacant\ncorner shelf.\n\"Ah. excellency.\" he continued, \"pardon me. I have forgotten. I must\nbring you a basin.\"\n\"I'd rather yon brought me a candle.\" snld Lermontoff nonchalantly, although his lips were dry. aud he moistened them ns he spoke. Then, to learn\nwhether money wns valueless ou the\nlock, ns the governor had intimated.\nhe drew from his pocket one of the remaining gold pieces, glad that he happened to have so many, aud slipped it\nInto the palm of the jailer's unrd,\nwhose lingers clutched it as eagerly as\nIf he were in St. Petersburg.\n\"I thluk a candle can be managed,\nexcellency. Shall I bring a cup?\"\n\"I wish you would.\"\nThe door was again locked nnd bolted, but before Lermontoff hnd finished\nbis soup and bread and cheese It was\nopened again. The jailer placed a tin\nbasin similar to the former one ou tho\nledge, put a candle and a candlestick\non the table and a tin cup beside them.\n\"I thought there was no part of Russia where bribery was extinct.\" said\nthe prince to himself as the door closed\nagain for the night.\nAfter supper Lermontoff again shifted his table, stood upon It. lit his can-\ndie and resumed his tunneling, working hard until after midnight. His\nprogress was deplorably slow, and the\nspraying of the rock proved about as\ntiring n task as ever he had undertaken. Ills second basinful of solution\nwas made a little stronger, but without perceptible improvement iu its effect. Ou ceasing operations for the\nnight he found himself in a situation\ncommon to few prisoners\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthat of being embarrassed with riches. lie possessed two basins, and one of them\nmust be concealed. Of course he\nmight leave his working basin in the\nupper tunnel where it had rested when\nthe jailer had brought in his supper,\nbut he realized that at any moment the\nlantern's rnys might strike its shining\nsurface and so bring on au investigation of the upper tunnel, certain to\nprove the destruction of his whole\nscheme. A few minutes' thought, however, solved the problem admirably.\nHe placed the basin face downward in\nthe rnpld stream, which swept It to\nthe Iron bars between the two cells.\nand there It lay quite concealed with\nthe swift water rippling over It. This\ndone, he fluiii off his clothes nnd got\nInto bed. not awakening until the jailer and Ids assistant brought in bread,\ncheese and coffee for breakfast.\n'Ihe next day he began to feel the\nInconveniences of the governor's friendship and wished ho were safely back\nto the time when one lonf lasted four\ndays, for If such were now tbe case he\nwould be free of tho constant state of\ntension which the ever recurring visits\nof the jailer caused. He feared thnt\nsome day he might become so absorbed\ntn his occupation that lie would not\nhear the withdrawing of the bolt, and\ntints, ns It were, be caught In the act.\nShortly nfter lunch the governor sent\nfor him and asked many questions pertaining to the running of the dynamo.\nLermontoff concealed his Impatience\nnnd set nbout his instructions with exemplary earnestness. Itussia n text\nhooks on electricity at hand were of\nthe most rudimentary description, and,\nalthough the governor could speak German, he could not rend It. so the two\nvolumes lie possessed In that language\nwere closed to him. Therefore John\nwas compelled to begin at the very A\nII C of the science.\nThe governor, however, became so\ndeeply Interested that he momentarily\nforgot his caution, unlocked n door\nand took Lermontoff Into n room which\nho snw wns the armory nnd ammunition storehouse of thp prison. On the\nfloor of this chamber the governor\npointed out a large battery of accumulators anil nskeil what they wore for,\nLermontoff explained the purposes of\nthe battery, meanwhile examining it\nthoroughly and rinding that many of\nthe cells hnd been nil but ruined In\ntransit through the falling away of\nthe composition In the grids. Something like half of the accumulators,\nhowever, were Intact nnd workable.\nThese he uncoupled and brought Into\nthe dynamo room, where he showed\nthe governor the process of charging.\nHe saw In tlie storeroom a box containing Incandescent lamps, colls of\nsilk covered wire and other material\nthat made his eyes gllRten with delight. He spoke In Gorman.\n\"If yon will give me n coll of this\nwire, one or two of the lamps and an\naccumulator, or. Indeed, hnlf a dozen\nof them. I will trouble you no more\nfor candles.\"\nThe governor did not reply nt the\nmoment, but n short tlmp after asked\nLermontoff In Russian how long it\nwould he before the accumulators wore\ncharged. Lermontoff stated the time.\nand the governor told the jailer to\nbring the prisoner from the cell at that\nhour, nud so dismissed his instructor.\nOne feature of this interview which\npleased Lermontoff was lhat. however\nmuch the governor became absorbed\nIn these lessons, he never allowed himself to remain alone with his prisoner.\nIt was evident that in his cooler moments the governor had Instructed the\njailer and his assistant to keep ever at\nthe heels of the prince and always on\nthe alert, Two huge revolvers were\nthrust underneath the licit of the jailer, and the lantern holder was similarly armed. Lermontoff wns pleased\nwith this, lor it tne governor nan\ntrusted him entirely, even though he\ndemnnded no verbal parole, it would\nhave gone against Ids grain to strike\ndown the chief, as he ruthlessly intended to do when the time was ripe for it.\nand in any case, he told himself, no\nmatter how friendly the governor I\nmight be, he had Ihe misfortune to\nstand between his prisoner and liberty.\nLermontoff was again taken from his\ncell about half an hour before the time\nhe had named for the completion of\nthe charging, and. although the governor said nothing of his intention, the\njailer and his man brought to the ccl|\nsix charged batteries, a coil of wile\nand a dozen lamps. Lermontoff now\nchanged his working methods, tie begun each night as soou us he had\nfinished dinner nnd worked till nearly\nmorning, sleeping all day except when\nInterrupted by the jailer. Jack, following the example of Uoblnsou Crusoe,\nattempted to tie knots on the tail of\ntime by cutting notches with his knife\non tlie leg of the table, but most days\nhe forgot to perform this operation,\nnnd so his wooden almanac fell hopelessly out of gear. He estimated that\nhe had been a little more than a week\nIn prison when be beard by the clang\nof the bolt that the next cell was to\nhave an occupant.\n\"I must prepare a welcome for him.\"\nhe said, and so turned out the electric\nlight at the end of the long, flexible\nirire. He had arranged a neat llttlj\nswitch of the accumulator, and so\nsnapped the light on and off at his\npleasure without the trouble of unscrewing the nuts which held iu place\none of the copper ends of the wire.\nGoing to the edge of the stream and\nlighting his candle, he placed tbe glass\nbulb in the current, paid out the flexible line attached to It and allowed the\nbulb to run the risk of being smashed\nagainst the iron bars of the passage,\nbut the little globe negotiated the rap-\nIds without even a perceptible clink\nand came to rest In the bed of the\ntorrent somewhere about the center of\nthe next cell, tugging like a fish on a\nhook. Then Jack mounted the table,\nleaned into the upper tunnel and listened.\n\"I protest.\" Drummond cried, speaking loudly, as If the volume of sound\nwould convey meaning to alien ears\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\n\"I protest against this as un outrage\nand demand my right of communication with the British nmbn sailor.\"\nJack heard the jailer growl, \"This\nlonf of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD bread will last you for four\ndays,\" hut as this statement was made\nIn Russian It conveyed no more meaning to the Englishman than had hH\nown protest of n moment liefore\nThe toiler owl hit tt;'n:e we\ncan get back with the Englishman.\"\n\"I.et him wait, theu.\"\n\"With liis pocketful of rubles?
