All Kinds of Repairing, Horseshoeing a Specialty. 11, SCliULTZ, general Blacksmith, VERNON, P.. (', of the Government Fully Explained. (Continued from lust, week.) Continuing, Mr. Vernon said, it would then be ttske:!, "what was the policy of tbe present Provincial Government, us tho Opposition party had none al, all ? This could easily lie explained in one, sentence, viz., "the opening up and development of the country by money borrowed at a low rale of interest." It would bo much easier for the Government to have no policy, but simply to He dormant, as the Opposition party advised, and draw their salaries, while the departmental work was carried on by tho permanent officials, There were numberless railway, litigation, dyking, reclamation and other propositions throughout the Province which could nol bo carried through by private enterprise, but the completion of which was most necessary to the vital interests of the conn- try at large, and to these the Government proposed to rendor financial assistance by borrowing money to loan to such enterprises, They bad been culled an extravagant government and the Opposition party tried to make capital out of this cry, and advised "going slow." It was, however noteworthy fact that those who raised thia cry '.vert! the first to demand local public work and Improvenientsof every kind, In fact, in most districts people were calling out for mire than the Government could possibly grant them. IF they were an extravagant government, us was claimed, how was it that the provincial credit si nod higher in the London market than six months ago? The Government proposed to continue to borrow money to help in the development of the enormous resources of the Province, and were not bticiiward in slitting so publicly, Every member of tho Government bad all he possessed invested ill the Province, and he asked his hearers to consider was it likely that they would in any way wish to injure their own interests? It might he asked, " what was the result of their policy, what good did It do?" In answer to this ha would simply say that settlement followed railway construction, and the result had been that in the past four years over 3,800 pre-emptions bad been taken up. These people bad become taxpayers aud were contributing to the wealth of the Province. Naturally, people go to where they bad easy access to the outside world, aud the construction of the S. k O. railway bad brought 830 settlers into the Okanagan country, Even taking in to consideration that a number would have settled in the district irres. pective of tho line being built, still it could be calculated (on the basis that each settler was worth $1,000 to the Province) that half a million in wealth bad been added to the district by such immigration. The wealth contributed to the Province by the construction of railways, roads, bridges, etc, nioro than paid the interest on the money borrowed to carry such enterprises through. Mr, Vernon then entered into the financial stale of the Province and showed that the debt of British Columbia was a bagatelle compared with those of the cities of Vancouver and Victoria, In 18110 (at Ibe time of the last general elect ion) tlie revenue of the province was $835,403, and up to the end of the present financial year (1803) $1,020,002, and the estimated revenue for 1804, $1,038,000. There bud been, during this term, a total expenditure on public works of $2,000,000, all of which was paid for, Tbe roads alone were worth more than $1,000,000, The gross debt in 1800 was $1,707,820, and in 18D3, $8,187,'158, II was stated that the revenue had fallen oft* since tho sale of lands, but he could answer by slating that il would have been very largely increased if that system had continued. There had certainly been a million ..Mod to the provincial debt, but the Improvements worth doublet tho money were I here to show for It, Amongst oilier assets of (he Provinco waa over $1,000,000 due from pre-omptors. The Government never pressed I be set Her for his money, but allowed him to pay when lu, was in n position to take out bis crown grant. In addition, there was the Sinn of $150,000 due oil deferred payments for lots on government town- sites, These boro Interest at the rati' of six per cent, The GoYcriiinonl also held the Iirsl mortgage on many leaseholds of timber claims at the coast belonging to lumber mills. In many cases Ibe full claim of tho Govoruuiont bad not been pressed, owing to tho de- depression in the lumber trade with Australia and Chill, If Ihe sums due were pressed for, several mills won! 1 probably have to bo shut down and a number of men would be I brown out of employment, The debt "f Vancouver City was $2,000,000, and the rate of assessment 2 percont, thai of Victoria 1,000,000, with assessment at 1.1 per cent, The ilebl of .Prilisb Columbia was infinitesimal compared with tbeso sums, The Province must cither go ahead or go behind. The next subject Mr, Vernon tackled was that of appropriations to this riding, ami enumerated all the expenses of this district. Taking iw near an ali- stractos could be obtained, he stated that the revenue derived from Shnil. kameen and Osoyoos (including Kettle River) was approximately $9,700, and from the Upper Okanagan $11,500, This season the sum of $00,000 was appropriated for public works in the district, of whicli Ihe lower Okanagan received about one half. If Ibe Opposition was sustained in the coming election, the people of this section would soon find out the difference, He then pointed out that as far as unsatisfactory expenditure of local approprla lions was concerned, hn personally was not responsible for mistakes made bv surveyors and local officials, He bad the whole of the Province to attend to in respect to such mailers, and /ill lie could do was to place them in the hands of what he considered to lie the best men, and trust to their abilily. As soon ns mistakes bml been found out, they had been rectified, as in the case of the Camp McKinney road. The Government's intentions were good, and such matters did not affect theii1 general policy. Ridiculous mistakes were often made by municipal governments, The public should make some allowance, and their displeasure at nils, takes made by employees should not of necessity be visited on the Government, The Canada Western was the next subject touched upon. In regard to tills undertaking the speaker stated that the Opposition party appeared to have misgivings that some great scheme was in band, to whicli the Government had pledged their support, and that the credit of the Province would thereby be Imperilled, A company had been formed, whose object wan to build a rival rood fo tbn C.P.R., the ter. minus of which would be in Victoria, and the Legislature, approving the .scheme, bad guaranteed a land grant of 20,000acrcsrt mile in alternate blocks, Since the time that measure had been passed the promoters had endeavored unsuccessfully to float the scheme, the public beginning now to understand the nature of land grants In the northern portion of tho Province, and that that country could, not support a large population, The question of guaranteeing the bnntls of the railway had riot even been proposed. It was extremely unlikely that the Legislature would in any way imperil the credit of the Province by so doing. Al the pros. Gilt time railway building in Western. America had been over done. Thu C.P.R. was reducing its expenses, al- I hough that line was heavily subsidized (its steamship snrviec also)by the Canadian and Imperial governments. The parliament buildings, that thorn in the flesh to an upper country constituency, was next fully entered into by Mr. Vernon, who begat) by asserting that without doubt no subject had ere-, titetl more controversy or caused more irritation during the past four years. Tbe Government, when they proposed Ihe erection uf the new buildings, were well aware what the feeling of thu country would be, but trusted to the sense nf |be people, who would ap prove of the course adopted when, the circumstances of Ihe ease were fully brought to light. Rjght minded people throughout the Province liad recognized tlie necessity of the expenditure. It had settled the question of the location of the capital once and for all. The old Government buildings were erected in 1858, and were built nf wood and brick veneer at a time when the Pro-. viuco had not one-quartpv of its pros cut population. During the past four years the buildings bad been gradually rolling, and had had lo be fixed and patched up continually, The ceiling had come down in his own offices his departmental officials had had to work, elsewhere, and Ihe same bad been the case 111 oilier depai'tineiiUs. LVyligbl, could be seen through tht'in. The Legislature bad al one time in he ad-, jiiui'iieil for two weeks, as the building could not be properly heated, Some-,, thing had to be done. II Was thought al line lime I hat hy building a land anil ,. registry office that the difficulty could he overcame, but whop (be matter came In be looked into il would be found ilia! Ibe building would havo ' lo be entirely fire-proof, It was also evident thai other departmental buildings would be required within a year or two. Tlie plan of having a number of scailct'i'd buildings was also nut sat-, isfactory, Valuable documents and plans of all kinds had to be taken from one. department to another in the snow. and rain, aud the Government had, therefore, come to the conclusion that, to build a number of incongruous build. ing? would not prove satisfactory, Tlie Legislature had, therefore, been consulted, and the conclusion bad been arrived at that it would be preferable.

I have heard (whether 'rightly Informed or not) that $5 per 'ton has been charged for carrying potatoes a distance u» 25. miles i that $0 is the regillar charge for the conveyance of a liort.e from Okakagan Landing to Penticton, although recently one man is reported lo have shipped horses from Pentictou to Kelowna at thu pate of one dollar per hprul. These are some of the incidents that ruffle the. feelings of tbe patrons of this great corporation.

Camp McKinney, (From our own correapotitleut.l Camp McKinney, June 11.—Now that Camp McKinney will soon have communication with other portions of the district by means of tbe trunk road being built, another and still mure pressing requirement exists in tlie matter of mail service. The camp possessed a monthly mail service, together with tlie rest of the lower country, until 181)2, when the post office was moved to Fairview by Mr. Elliot. Considering that about seventy people are now resident in the camp, employed di? redly by, or makinga living Indirectly from, the work done by the Cariboo Mining Company, and that In all probability work on other claims will double this number within a short time, no doubt can exist that a post- office is again required, A petition bearing fifty-six signatures was recently sent to the authorities anil to Mr. Mara, M.P.P., praying Unit one be established. What is required is for the mail to be made up at Penticton and taken direct to Gamp MoKJuney, or put 011 the Kelt In River mail route; the bug could be taken up from the mouth of Hock Creek, Mr. Green, C.E., was in McKinney last week surveying a ditch from the south for* of Hock Creek for the Cariboo Mining Company. It was form- eiiy surveyed for Mr. Douglas. There are over 500 feet of tunneling and 150 feet of shafting on tlie Cariboo mine. The fcrmer is mostly at a level of 05 feet. Tlie ore appears to be equ- ally rich from the grass roots to the lowest depth readied. Tiie mill site is on tlie claim, and is nil that could be desired. Tiie water is diverted from Rice Creek, a small feeder of the south fork, which is fed by springs the year round. The mill building is not yet completed, and the noise of the stamps can be heard for a long distance, A blacksmith's shop Is being erected between the opening of the tunnel and the mill. Some eight to ten men are cutting wood, making charcoal, etc. Mr. J. F. Torrence, who visited the camp a few weeks ago, made application in the recorder's office at Rock Creek for the right to divert 300 inches of water from Rock Creek at a point some 300 yards frppi the Snowdon mineral claim, fop the purpose of developing power for mining and milling purposes. He also applied for five acres of land near Rock Creek falls, two and a half miles below the camp, for the mill site, The first claim for which a crown grant was obtained was one of the first 'ocated, the Victoria, in whicli the Hayncs estate owns a third interest' It is situated near the falls.

R, everything is in a state of fatal collapse, as far as the running uf trains is (joiictinied. The storm of Sunday, 3rd, was the worst ever experienced here, Fortunately, except to fences and the telegraph lino, no great amount of damage was done, What mail had accumulated at Kam- lpops and Stannous' we received on Sunday last, the same having been brought to Enderby by steamboat, thence on to Vernon by JVflggon. This brings us back to pro-railway days, and revives tilil associations. A public meet ing was held in Lumby the 7th hist, in the interest of Mr. D. Graham, Ibe Opposition candidate, Notwithstanding the weather was very unfavorable, a large number assembled, the room being packed with people, thus showing the great amount of interest, taken by the farmers in the forthcoming election. Mr. D. Campbell acted ns chairman, and Mr. S. Mc- Ilvane undertook the duties of secretary. Mr. Campbell, in a neat speech, introduced the Opposition candidate, Mr. Graham, in a clear and concise manner, gave his reasons fur being in the field in tho interests of the Opposition party. He took exception to tlie building of the parliament buildings during such bard times as at present.

Mr. D. Rabbitt, of Armstrong, next addressed the meeting, and gave his reasons lor being opposed to tlie Government, among which lie referred to a pledge given by the Hon, F. G. Vernon, in Kamloops, in which the honorable gentleman pledged himself to guarantee the bonds of the S. kO. railway to the amount of the actual cost of construction, instead of which lie gave his support to the guaranteeing of the builds up to the full amount of $25,000 per mile, Mr. J. M.

A vote of thanks having been tendered the chairman, and Mr, L, Mornnd for the use of his building, the meeting adjourned, Mr. D. Graham, accompanied by Mr, D.

Kelowna, June 11.—Mr. Wm. Duncan has returned from his trip to the States, having had a prolonged tour through California, Oregon and Washington. His statement of the depression prevailing in those parts of the United States is about the same as one reads nf in the press, and neods no further reference, Since his return he has disposed of his twelve-acre block in Kelowna to Messrs. Rose Bros., for a good figure. A. scow load of lumber for the Okanagan Falls Hotel was taken down on Friday last, and two large rafts of lumber fur the same, building will go down to-morrow. Tenders have been called for, and the work will go on at once. Some of the ranchers from Oregon who came in lately have located on the east side of Long Lake, having secured good pre-emptions there. They had intended locating on the west side of Okanagan Lake, but found the other far preferable, although there are still some good ranches open un the west side. Mr. Duncan lias located tine there, and intends moving onto it at once, Tho water is playing sod. havoc with some of the ranches in tlie low lying lands of Ihe valley. Aiiinnlicrnf thoin have lust their crops altogether, and many have suffered ill a smaller degree.

During t',!.i first year they accumulate nourishmeiit in the root, most nl' which is expended in the production of seed in lite second year; but this feature is uut of general application. That the runts secure the plant iu the soil ia a Belf evident truth which does not need demonstration. Nor is it necessary to prove that tho roots are the medium through which tho plants are nourished. Thu point is to know just how tit,'fond is absorbed by the roots—whether the entire rout mass is engaged iu this process or it is confined to some special portions of the root, and in what condition the plant food must, be, in order to ho avail able for assimilation hy the roots, ft is couip u'ativulv oil.-.)' to prove lint plants live ii.v drinking, rotliei1 than hy eating, or, in other words, that they are fed by absorbing water which contains tlio necessary elements ol nutrition in solution, In early times,before tho bcIoiii f botany wtia understood, 1 tuou-risls i"' iiovod thai plants fed on small particles of soil, nml thai this was the ronsuii lot the good i'l1-',its caused hy thorough culture, slncH frequent stirring of the anil divided il into small pari idea whicli wore thus more readily swallowed ami digested by tho plant, Thiatinllnu could, of course not stand the light of investigation, since the roots li.ul 110 mouths ur openings anywhere through which oven the smallest particles cuuld pass. It was, on tho other hand, evident that plants f'd by somo process ol absorption, sine n withered plant might be revived hy merely putting its runts into clear water, This is further proved by humor ing the young, active roots of a plant in water in which sonic coloring material has been dissolved. The roots absorb tho color, which shows itself throughout the tissue. Now, does this absorption take place through the ends of the runts or through the whole length of the root? Investigation has proved that it docs neither the one of the other. Tho tips of the mots, nn has already boon Btated, consist of a compact mass of small hardened, cells, whicli tiro designed to pierce the soil when the root is elongated by growth. These colls are not situated for absorption. Nordoes the older portions of tlie rout, on which the outer covering lias becomo thick- enen nnd leathery, take 11 prominent part in feeling the. plant: This_ is proved by thai a plant, having tho older portions of the roots immerse I in water, while the young growth is kept in tlio air, will wither almost as fast aa if the plant wns whooly exposed to tho air. The absorption of plant food must, therefore, take plncti wholly, or at least chiefly, through tho young awl tender portions of tho rout. A close examination further reveals tho fact that the young growth of the roots is lnoro or less covered with very fine fibrous apnoudngos which have been called root-hairs, These hairs aro slender tubes with very thin walls, and they constitute tho real absorbing surface of tho roots. Mnny of these root hairs nre so small that they cannot ha Boen without the old of n microscope, They are simple projections of tlio outer cells of tho rout, just as tho fingers project from n glove-that ia, they do not havo a partition at the base, but open directly into tho cells. As the root grows older, this outer layer of cells becomes thickened and tho root- hairs disappear and tho cells loeo absorbing power in proportion. This explains why tbo older portions of tho roots, covered with » thickened epidermis or sort of bark, havo but slight absorbing powors. At tho close of the season of growth, when plant food io no longer in demand for the development of new tissue above ground, absorption ceases and the rout-hairs die. Even tho newer portions of the root, become covers! with epidermis and the plant becomes dormant until warm weather the following jpring renews its vitality. That the roots feed on the soil, ns the common expression noes, is really not. correct, They feed on water contained in tho soil which holds certain substances in solution. The root growth depends largely upon the fertility of the soil. It has been observed titat when roots reach a fortilo ■pot they develop an enormous amount of feeders, that is, small toiidor rootlets, which can absorb this nourishment. It has even been noted that when there are successive layers of fertility in tho soil, the roots will develop in these' layers in the manner stated. Call it instinct, or what we may, they seem to have the power to search for food, nnd when found they make tho most of it by pro- j during an abundance of absorbing sur- I face.—Prof. C. C. Georgcsuu, in Kansas Farmer.. A Unliini'iiil IVIii'i'li'iiii'i'ii.
