Opposite Now Post Oillco The bill which was productive of most debate was that to incorporate the Penticton Railway company. Mr. Shatford was its eloquent sponsor* and on the second vending''he spoke for some time expatiating upon the possibilities of the district through which it would run. The Great Northern railway being back of.it, there was no question as to its being built when a great stimulus would be given to tin- whole of the district dnd very considerable undeveloped areas opened up. The dictrict would then have two railways and communication would be had with the coast in fifteen hours whereas it now took two days. Mr. Shatford spoke of its effect upon the Boundary country, upon the mining and upon the ranching industries of the interior, and concluded with glowing picture of its results in conjunction' with the other lines of railway provided for during this session. Mr. McKay, said he regretted very much that he had to oppose the!sec6nd reading of this bill. It was not that he did not wish Similkameen to have transportation particularly after the glowing description of that district given by the mover bf. bhe bill bub a road had been built in this.-province under heavy subsidies of land and timber suffirienb to pay the cost of building the road. The Grea b Northern did nob build bhis road, btit took it over allow cosb. Two years ago., they had some heavy snow slides in Slocan, and some of the bridges 011 this road had been washed away. It would not cost above $100,000 to repair them, but the Great Northern refused to operate it. :'He held that bhe Great Norbhern .should' be compelled to operate that line before bhey were given any further privileges by bhe house. Mr*. Hawbhornbhwaitc congratulated bhe mover* of bhe bill on his eloquence. With bhe glowing discripbiou of orchards and fields he had only bo lean back and close his eyes and he did nob know bub bhab he was in the Garden of Eden. So far as bhe principle' on which bhe member for Kaslo opposed bhe bill was concerned he considered that it was enbirely wrong. Ib was a had precedenb bo allow one part of the conn try to be held up for the sake of anobhev which was dissabish'ed. The premier* said a statement was made by tlie member for Siiiiilkaineen bhab bhe Great Northern Railway company was behind this project, and when they considered that the Great Northern had spent $1-1.000,000 in this province without asking a cenb of assistance, it entitled them to some standing in the province. The member for Kaslo held that because the Great Northern failed to operate the Kaslo & Slocan line between Slocan and Sandon, this house should have nothing to do with them. If the house did that bhey would be placing themselves in a peculiar position and blocking progress. On Thursday the House prorogued and the Lieut-Governor gave his assent to an 1111 usually large number of bills. After months of careful figuring and negotiation with manufacturers for prices a plan for* bhe iinmediabe solu- bion of bhe power* quesbion for the Hedley Gold Mining Co. has been de- r cided upon, and while mosb of us perhaps would have pevferred to see the installation of a large power plant on the river adopted, yet when the scheme that has now been decided upon is examined and thoroughly understood, it will be seen that for* present wants, as well as for a stage of development looking some distance into the future, the plan hit upon has yew much to commend it. : The plan in brief, paradoxically expressed, is not to abandon water power and not to depend upon ib. Every pound of water power bhab Twenty- mile creek can supply will be utilized and as soon as it cannot do bhe work; sufficient ' steam bo make up the deficiency will be pub to work to keep the plant up to full efficiency, and should the water fail utterly, lull provision will-have been made to carry on by steam. So'far as the mine is concerned the power question for- ib is pracbically solved already with the completion of the compressor installation which Mr. Cleveland has almost completed, barring one contingency and bhab is a never ; failing water supply for boilers.

G. M. Co.'s ^Active Sympathy and Assistance the the plant not yet provided for are the mill and.the.electric'-plant. The former- must have sure motive power and also a sure water supply for the babberies, vanuers and cyanide tanks; and the electric planb musb h.-ivo motive power- bo drive ib or ib in burn cannot operabe bhe elecbric tramway for ore haulage nor supply lights and drive the various motors which ib has been supplying with current. The new plan is bo run a pipe line 7000 feeb up bhe creek with a ten inch main which will pick up the water* that now leaks through bhe dam and this will supply ample water for mill purposes and the boilers as well as bhe town water supply .without drawing on or diminishing the supply in the power flume by a single drop. Then by the addition of two more large boilers to the present battery and another engine and generator to provide ejectric motive power for all the machinery in the mill they will have a planb that can be run every day in bhe 365 whether bhe flume breaks or not, and when-there is ample head of water to drive everything without the help of steam the planb will be there to do it. The only alternative plan short of a big power planb on the river that could take the place of the plant described and be available all bhe yeavj round, independent of the Tweut-y- rnile Hume, would be a large pumping planb on the river which would have to raise 0000 gallons every 24 hours a height of 250 feet. Ib would cosb more money to put in such a plant than to put in the pipe line up bhe creek and would cosb a great deal to operate it, while the pipe line once put in would practically operate itself.

HEAVY FRUIT CROP. CEYLON TEA. Pure and Invigorating. P. O, BOX 900 Vancouver, B. C. E. H. ROGERS, M.A., B.C.L. BARRISTER, SOLICITOR, NOTARY PUBLIC, ETC Vernon, B. C. That the coming season will be the greatest fruit year that British Columbia has ever seen, is the opinion of W. E. Scott, deputy minister of agriculture. Last year- there was a poor crop, nob only in Bribish Columbia, bub in all the Pacific Sbates. Now, however, all the trees are loaded with, fruit spurs, and if nothing happens to upset their calculations, ib is stated by all who have been through the orchards that bhe crop will be a bumper one. \"It is no trouble to raise fruit in British Columbia,\" said Mr. Scott. This has been demonstrated beyond all cavil, bub the question of marketing it is still an open one and requires handling with the greatest care. \"I expect a great influx of people into the province this year. A large number will take up fruit growing\", but there are also many coming who will engage in poultry raising, dairying, mixed farming and other industries. I expecb bo see a very large number as soon as spring opens. The Okanagan and Kootenay districts have taken the lead in the matter of fruit growing. They built up the district largely through persistent advertising.

The selection of the site was influ-- enced by donation of the lots by . Messrs Hedlund and Thomas on the east side of Twenty mile and ib was a mistake on bhe pavb of the hospital board to accept ib, for by doing so bhey located it in a spot that is all right for summer time but in the winter does nob come in for enough sunlight. . The building is a three sbovey sbrucbure 24xi0 feeb with a wing 16x26. The lowest floor or basement contains kitchen aud laundry and the. main floor, entrance to which from the outside is made from the hillside, com prises the hallway, one large five-bed ward, two private wards, operating room and bath-room. The third-storey is yeb unfinished but could supply two comfortable bedrooms for nurses. The hospital is under the charge of the matron, Miss Bond, an experienced nurse who is well qualified for the position, having had the requisite professional training and experience in good hospitals, and Dr. McEwen is surgeon in chief. He is giving- the hospital the use of his operating table and surgical instruments and all his surgical work is done there. Already the hospital has admitted seven patients several of them requiring su'rgical treatment. It is an institution that was hadly needed in the valley and is one which appeals to the public as a most deserving charity that calls for their hearty support audit will take considerable- money'to maintain it. Although located in Hedley ib is an institution the doors of which are open to all iu the district who need assistance from it. Although young in years it, has experienced the 1 igors of adversity, and that at a very early period of its existence, for the scheme was scarcely launched until a .staggering blow was administered to it by accession to power of unsympathetic management of the leading industry of the place, and without the active sympathetic interest- and co-operation of that industry the institution could not drag out mi existence. That blow was administered when Lamb became manager and the weight of it was not lifted until his successor, F. A. Ross had taken his departure. But it is pleasing to note that as it was the attitude of indifferent aloofness on the part of the management of the D. 11. Co. which left the institution practically stranded and unable to open its doors when the building was completed, it was from the same institution that succor came under bhe new ownership,, for ib was bhe generous vote of $500.00 by the diiectors of the present com- pany in New York which put fresh life in the people here and encouraged others to help until the $500 has grown to $1300 and a sufficient sum was in hand to enable the institution to be opened for the reception of patients, while a contribution of 50 cents per month from each employee is an important lift for the board in providing, funds for running expenses.

The German Court is represented in Ottawa by a secret service agent who follows closely bhe debates on the Naval question and cables Emperor William every day by secret code. The employment of spies was always considered a war measure heretofore, so the Emperor evidently thinks he is right in doing the things now that are done in war time without the usual formality of a declaration of war; and yet there are politicians and copperhead rag newspapers in this country and in Great Britain that will pooh- pooh the. idea of any hostile intentions 01* designs on the part of Germany. Premier McBride has informed the member for Kaslo and other Ivoot- enaians that he has been assured by the Great Northern thab bhe Kaslo and Slocan road for which bhe Penbic- ton charter was to be held up iu the Legislature, is to be operated. We do nob know whether the Kootenay road is a narrow gage structuie or not, but with all due deference to the Nelson News, which defends the action of the Kootenay members in the matter, the methods they employed were certainly narrow gauge politics. And pray, what did the Okanagan ever do to Mr. Tisdall that he should have taken the stand which he did when the bill was before the railway committee ? in the days before 1896, and particularly around about 189.1 when commercial union was the professed goal of the average Canadian liberal, ib was a common thing to hear public utterances on the part, of many of Sir AVil- ij-id.s Lanrier's followers that would he hard lo reconcile with a proper feeling of loyally to the Crown, but after 96 under the mollifying influences of the sweets of office a good deal of the lurking sentiment of disloyalty began \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ^ to disappear. Lately, however, it has commenced to break out again and we have McLean, of Huron, shouting out in the House of Commons that Canada owes nothing at all to England and The splendid appropriations secured by L. W. Shatford, M. P. P. for bis district was only a part of what he was able to accomplish for the Similkameen. As chairman of the Private Bills Committee of the Legislature lie had a busy time of it, but nevertheless took care, to see that his constituency got its fair share of bhe appropriations for., public improvements. In the Railway legislation, while the Canadian Northern bill did not effect his constituency directly, a certain indirect benefit would accrue and it-had his support, bub in the matter of the Kettle. River Railway, that was a different matter, as the railway was to traverse a large part of his constituency, and a part, moreover, which had long been trifled with by railways and railway companies which made specious promises for building, only to to break them .until the people were becoming discouraged. This time Mr. Shatford was determined to see that ic would not be left a. matter of option with the railway company bub embodied in bhe . bill itself to which the l-ailway company owed its privileges and by which it could be punished by loss of those privileges if its undertakings weie not carried out. Accordingly, he had it stipulated in the Kettle- River Railway bill that 25 miles musb be builb in the year 1910 and work to be prosecuted in three different places and obtained a n assurance that instead of it being the mere.25 miles specified in the bill, the amount which would be built by the end of 1910 would exceed 50 miles. There was another point; however, n the situation which\"more directly concerned us here in the Similkameen Valley and that was the matter of securing connection in \" bhe Sitnilka- by means of bhe Kettle Valley line, for while a considerable mileage of the of the road lay in the Similkameen riding at the east end in bhe region lying between the mouth of Rock Creek and Penticton, the Similkameen valley would be practically out ofibso far as bhe remainder of bhe road between . Penticton and Nicola is concerned. To secure this end therefore Mr. Shatford bent his energies and enlisting the special co-operation of the Premier who personally took up the point along with him. They held several conferences with Mr. Warren, the President, 'ind obtained from him a special undertaking that a, spur would immediately lie build into Princeton which is the nearest point in the Similkameen valley approached by the j Kettle Valley. Mr. Shatford is to be congratulated on securing this important concession and Princeton is to be congratulated on getting the plum. Nevertheless all parts of the .Similkameen valley are bound to benefit hy it and we are all broad enough to felicitate with Princeton on having a second railway enter the town. Office. 0?

He had been dealing with the task of guarding the line of Britain's food supply from the St. J Lawrence' to the British Isles. \"The line of food supply from Canada would bo a very long one\", he said, \"and a difficult one to guard. 1 would propose that we. should open up the Hudson Bay route, that would shorten the line of Britain's food supply. This line, he argued, would be so much shorter and easier to guard that it would'materially lighten the burden of defence; he put the saving at two Dreadnoughts. Later on he spoke on the Commercial need for the opening of the Hudson Bay. \"Now, Sir,\" he said, \"there is just as much fallacy current about the navigation of the Hudson Bay as there was about our wheat lands. There are certain powerful companies interested in keeping the shores of the Hudson Bay as a pieserve. There is another* great obstacle in the way, and that is our transcontinental railways. They are very much opposed to opening up the Hudson Bay route, because it will take away their trade. I am a big enough Canadian to give wsstern Canada her rights. I see no advantage in being so narrow minded. We have got now four lines of railroad running from Winnipeg to Fort William; we have got the Canadian Northern, the Grand Trunk Pacific, and a double line of the Canadian Pacific railway, and these have all they can do. In the Agricultural committee the other day we were told that only six per cent of the available wheat land in the west is under cultivation. Now it'is only a calculation for a ten year old boy to figure out. If six per. cent of the wheat lands in the northwest require four lines of railway to move the product, how many lines will it require when,the whole hundred per cent'is under cultivation ? Ifrwill require 66 lines. Then why should we dilly-dally about the opening the Hudson Bay route ?
