Several ranchers, near Dog lake are contemplating going into hop culture, Oni, Indian alone received tho bounty on over lil'ty coyote sculps this winter, The road from Sidley's into (Jump .McKinney is in n very bad state anil almost Impassable in places, Camp McKinney is being supplied wilb beef from Mr, llozicr's ranch, a mile and it hull' from Rock ('reek cross. Ing, It is reported that Jack Evans, who formerly lived 011 tho Okanugiin Smith ranch, bus heoti forbidden by tho authorities to go mi the reservation without Ib'si reporting himself. A local oiiiyiinilngi.-ii. informs us that magpies, goshawks and dusky owls destroy more game In this country than even the free minor. He advocates a small bounty being placed un t hiiii. At Boundary creek four carpenters are at work on Conkle aud Donald's livery stablo, and two more on Thorn- el's resilience. Three more buildings are being put up, The sawmill Is running and Micro is every Indication of 11 lively season. There was a general round-up of lower country cattle at Osoyoos yesterday for the purpose of separating the Okanagan and Simlkameen bands before driving them to their .summer ranges. Mr, T. Daly acted as captain. The white-tall deer, which do not, appear to wander further north than the Mission valley, do considerable damage to orchards by bniiisingiiif the branches of young trees, both in thai sect inn and in the Lower Okanagan. An extra wire placed high enough to keep them out would prove a profitable Investment. The snow is now all off the Anarchist mountain and most of the settlers hava their crops already in—chiefly wheat and mite. It is a strange fact that Ibe lands high up In tho mountain, where settlers have of late acquired pre-emptions, arc now being . 1 , ' ,. , , tween hellle nver and Osovoos lake nut to some practical use and are pro- , , , was the llm supposed to be to encourage settlement, thin fact ought to cut no figure, Very large flocks of sandhill cranes have been flying over the district during the past week on their way north, There are altogether twenty-nine settlers from the boundary line up to Princeton and about sixty families of Indians. Messrs, Colin Rankin and Neil McLean have Joint ly pre-empted fllo acres of land adjoining Mr. It. McLean's placo, about two and a half miles from Okanagan halls. The average Okanagiiii rancher prefers to pay 18cents per pound for bacon Imported from the east und to sell his own hogs at from live In live and a half cents per pound live weight, to curing his own bacon, There is u government townslto reserve at the mouth of Ruck creek and another at the junction "f Bound, ary and Copper creeks. The former is partly used by Chinese as a vegetable garden, and Is very prettily located— the Kettle river dividing it in two, The names of several well-kni wu residents of the lower country havo been dropped from the voters' list — heaven only knows why. Some of these have been in the district for years and have never left it. On the other hand, names are on of parties who have only been a few months in the province. Two gangs are now repairing the main road from Osoyoos to While lake. One, under Mr. Bromley, is working from Osoyoos to Keromeos; the other from Keremeos lo White hike, with Mr, Biichan as foreman, If voles go by road work, this district ought logo solid for the government, Anarchist mountain acquired its un* pleasing name from the fact that a rather lough character who once lived there, but now makes his home on the Colville reservation, curried a slick uf dynamite around in his top biiot. When asked why he did so, he said lie was an anarchist. The oil- giuiil name for the high country be ll, SCHUI.TZ, General Blacksmith, VERNON, 11. 0, C.

If those who made that prophesy were to compare the two districts at present they would be forced to admit that the gift of prophesy was not iu them. As the land in Kettle river is held in comparatively small blocks, the settlement is n flourishing one, and promises to be more so before long, when ite. mineral wealth is developed. There niv vtivj-lavgc U'ljcb lanilsaliiiig the Siniilkameen valley, the soil und situation of which are all that could lie desired. They are, however, lying almost entirely unproductive for want of water. As there is an immense fall to tho Siniilkameen river there is little doubt that, large tracts could be placed under systems of irrigation, which would necessitate the outlay of considerable capital, but small In proportion to the increased value of the property when so Improved. At present thedis- Irict is far from a railway and the land is held iii large blocks, a very insignificant portion even of the bottom lands being under cultivation, but in the event of railway and marketing facilities over reaching this valley there is liable I ii lie an even greater transformation lake place than iu many of the most favored sections of tho Okanogan further nurlli. The sooner this hup, pens the belter will it be for all parties interested, II Is n si range fad, but one which is nevertheless Incontestable, thai though Immigrants have been vnt'i'liragod by the It, ('. Government to settle In ibis province, yet al, the same time little or no Information of a practical kind has ever been given until quite recently to parties really desirous to do so. Everyone, for instance, who has resided for any length of time iu the Okanngati district, knows perfectly wed that for yours Kick everything but »n encouraging reception has been given the seeker after local Information at the land ofB.ce, Although hundreds and thousands n( acres have since been purchased and pre-empted the repawns always the same, that there was, to the knowledge of the officials, "no land left worth Inking up in the district." Things are certainly belter now, but slill they might, without doubt, be improved, on by tho |ssuc of a map showing the various portions still vacant iu the districts already partially settled up. This might not suit the ideas of certain large land owners, hut as tho object of the Government is ick Creek mountain, Mr. Coryell, 0, E„ has made a pre- liminary survey of the mountain east of Osiiymw lake for the Government, with, n view lo ascertaining the cost of building it. passable waggon road on the 11. C, side, lie considers ho has found a practicable roilto, if this road is Imill people travelling over to tho Okanagan valley from Kettle riven could travel with a waggon at least six weeks earlier than over the, road at present being niiule via Camp .McKinney,un which Ibe snow liesuiucli later in Ihe.season, It would also help in pacify the Anarcnist mountain settlement, a factor not Ui Ijo despised. It is certainly time that a game pro-, tectjou society was formed in the Okanagan district. This country has lung been noted as the best sporting region in British Columbia, but as the present provincial game laws are very lax and, never enforced, there is every likelihood of tho district losing one of its chief ui tractions. If such an organi ization were start oil this season a great deal might lie accomplished in the way of agitating for fresh legislation, and if its members were scattered throughout the various settlements a great many cases of wanton destruction of largo Und feathered game, might he shown up. The gun clubs in the upper country might well take the matter in hand. His certainly more important than trap-shooting, Boundary Creek Notes. IFrinn our own correspondent.)

NECESSARY CHANGES, Now thai (be Lower Okanagan Is steadily progressing, and Dial tho activity in Ihe various mining camps, especially in 11"' Kettle river seel inn, points to a i.iill further Increase of population ;n l he m i r futurt. II would lie well for the Government lo look a little ahead in ihe matterof l",':'l appointments fur administrative pur- hoses, At.

Whether a gold comniisniiiUei Should also lie a mining reccrdor is a matter for the Government tu decide, hul it certainly appears"Ir, be c,.; pnojnply, and .is the (•ecorder's work at Osoyoos is now dune In a great extent by the constable, it would appear only-right that the party filling Hie dulii-s nhonld hold the pHlce, and' Mr. Lambly be relieved of work that be has no lime tu attend to. * The matter uf appointing an additional deputy register of Hie county court for the Buck Creek and Kettle It!ver section is also well worth the consideration uf the Attorney-Gcner- iU's depart it,', nl, H certainly appears unjust that Iho'pedplo uf that district tedl'd travel In Fnirvio'w or Osoyoos [ii lilliillil ci .mil)' fuUi'l We have also ho hesitation iu assorting (lint (in: appointment of a stipendiary magistrate fur the Lower Okanagan lias become necessary cm' expcdionl, As things now s! and, 1b.' attendance of "an additional justice nl' 'the peace is essential at Osoyoos before many casus can be tried, and ibis involves much unnecessary loss of time In local justices who live at long distances andalsoto the constables hmployed, i( isto be hoped that Ibe' Chief' Comiriissionor, when down in this soctlmi of Ibe country with a view tu winning votes, will give these mallei's a little uf bis attention, public, ui whether it is nol so. We imagine I hat. the case in .lie-linn will prove a hard nut for ibe Chief Commissioner to decide, especially ui election lime,as hisdeojsiou iniisl uf necessity give offence In one party or the other. Wo call the attention of the pen- pie of the Lower Okanagan In the fact thai ati effort will be made I his year to have the agricultural an l mineral products of tho district prbpprly represented at the annual fall show at Vernon. This has never been dune before, partly for tho reason that very few of the residents of this seel inn were members of the society, but chiefly because the distance from whicli the exhibits have to be sent appeared to bo too great Until the Lower Okanagan, however, advances sufficiently to be able tu support n separate institution of this kind it would certainly be shortsighted to ullowmerofo- cal feeling toprovenl this district being represented at the nearest exhibition, We arc well aware that (he people uf Kettle river (shut off as they are ft i any intercourse with tbe rest uf the district, except It (rail,) will probably reason that it is scarcely worth litem While Ui gn to any trouble ii. collecting an exhibit, but we wish In point out that a few specimens uf agricultural produce anil fruit would be an excel- iulveitiseinc.nl fin1 the valley, which is ftt presenilis lit■ It- known Iu tilt average man up north as the wilds uf Africa.

(in Monday, 30th April, .Mr. Mac- myiiii and Constable Bullock-Webster atTe i,-d a Chinaman named Lit Kwong, al ('odd' ciurk, a tributary uf Kettle river, twenty-five miles above Rock creek, un a wttrruntchurglug him with housebreaking at Kcroineos on Huh of April. Kwong, when arrested, was jus! complel ing hispreparal ions tu take in the mountains In evade arrest, and v, :e provided with ,i loaded, revolver in his pocket,' which lieeiideavni'ed tu use. The constables woro fortunate in uiak- iug this arrest, as word was sent by a halfbreed to Kwong, by certain Chinese and while residents of Ruck creek, Unit he was wauled, and Ibe latter may rest quite assured Unit, un the authorities made themselves aware of uf all the particulars uf the plot, it will not be forgotten. The prisoner was brought lu Osoyoos and tried last Friday before Messrs. Reynolds and Lainliley, .1. P.'s, under the summary convictions act, un a charge of having a loaded weapon on his pel son, when arrested on n war rant charging him with au Indictable offence, and was sentenced tu one month's imprisonment. He was further tried before Mr. Lambliy, .1. P., an a charge of housebreaking at KiTcmeiis and stealing from another celestial, Lee Sing, three cans uf opium, three dollars in silver and two gold nuggets on 10th April. The case was an Interesting one, there being two Chinese and one Chinook and Siwnsh interpreter, Ihe principal evi- tlonco being given hy an Indian in Si- wash, which was translated into Chinook, I ben from Chinook into English and from bjnglish into Lliiiii.se. The well kiimvii Ah See acted as counsel for ibe prisoner, 'Ibe evidence, purely circumstantial, wasi to Ibe offeol that Kwong was seen by an Indian during Lee Sing's absence tu break upeii Ihe cabin door with an axe, enter tiie cabin and then ride away, lie was committed fur trial.

Placer mining on the Hiiiiilkmnccn River bus been suspended fur the present on account of the spring rise. There promises to be more gold taken out of the swift river this year than for thirty years past.—Looinistnn Journal. The renowned Mary Smith was in ,canip yesterday and stated that the dispute as to tbo ownership of Ihe ,Okanagan Smith ranch would be settled definitely within a month, anil she expected to win the case. A philosopher who visited this district lately made the sage observation that there were only three classes of Jiars, to wit: Ihe liar, tbed—d liar, and the mining expert. This is rather rough on mining experts. Tbe lisli liar can now take a back seat. Mr. Palmerston, qf Jlouiiikuy Creek, was in Fairview on Monday and Tuesday attending to tbe survey of the Last Chance mineral claim, in which he holds an interest. He reports everything flourishing in his section of the country, four stages running at present to Marcus. Mr. A. Franz left last Saturday for Loomiston where he will work bis teams for the Black Bear company who re-commenced development last .week. There is already a 200 ft tunnel (in this well known claim. It is expected that ore will be run through the mill in about onq month, Mr. F. Johnson, who since the curly days of the Battler company has acted as engineer at the. stampmill, left on Tuesday for Baker City, Oregon, Mr. Johnson's health has been failing for some time past. His place, at the mill is being taken by Mr. F. Gwatkins, Mr. G. A. Rendell visited the cam]) yesterday on his way south from Vernon to Grand Forks, Kettle river, where he will make his future home, He has secured the local agency fur the Phoenix, London, England, lire insurance company, and will open up an pllice at once, probably at Grand Forks James Grant was arrested yesterday by H. Rose and taken to Osoyoos on a warrant charging him with threatening an assault with a loaded weapon pu J. Anderson and shunting the hitter's dog. This is tbe outcome uf the kluotclunaii shooting scrape which has disturbed the peace of the camp during the past week. Mr, W, T. Thompson returned to Fair- view from Boundary mountain yesterday. While there be purchased fur Chicago parties the now well known McCormick properties, the St. Lawrence and the Jack of Spades, un which the late rich strikes bare been made, He states that lie has received instructions to commence further development work on these claims without delay. The kluotclnnan who was shot in the foot has been moved to the Inkauiecp reserve, She accused a well known local miner of having shut her and a warrant was issued fur his arrest. He managed to cross tho line aud itappeors now pretty evident that he intends to keep 00 the other side, While here, however, he staled openly that as he tvns perfectly innocent, and had seen the woman shoot herself, he was perfectly willing to be arrested. The end of the alfair is not yet. Mr. W, A, Conklc was in the camp this week. He. is, in partnership with Mr. F. Donald, about to start a weekly stage between Osoynns and Boundary creek. The. 1'irs.t trip, will be made in about ton days. Tlie distance is forty two miles hy the present route passing through U.S. territory on tbo Colville reserve for nearly twenty five miles.

A large number of horses are expected to take part in the races, at which the best racing stuck I'riini Loomiston north to Penticton will be represented. Mr Kline, of the Golden (Into hotel, who is acting as secretary, has already secured a large number of Bubscrlpl inns, and a good purse will be offered fur the principal events, Full particulars will be published in uur next issue. It is expected that some ill' the horses from across the line will be taken north after taking part in the races here to compete in any races that may be held in the Upper Okanagan. DISTRICT NOTES. A new racecourse is being made al Vernon. Poleing bops is now in full swing. The vines are now about one and a half feet high. Vernon is now over-run with dairy carts, anil milk is down to II quarts per dollar, Grain is coming up well all over the Upper Okanagan, with every promise uf a good season, Eggs I his season are quoted at Vernon at 20 cents, bast year at ibis time they were III cents. A mining engineer is surveying a ten-mile ditch for liydrauljcjng at the forks uf Ihe Siniilkaiiu'eii. The trail uver Ihe Mission mountain is now upett, but iu a very bad condition, owing lo fallen timber. Good prospects have lately been taken from the hank al, Rock Creek by Ihe Indefatigable Pat8ynon, Air. iMcAuley, mining oxporl ami partner of Messrs, Monaghau ami King, is in Camp McKinney, The fishing on Okanagan bake is jusl beginning to get really good, Several large trout have been captured lately, We are glad to hear that Mr, R. N. Dunilas, of Kelowna, and Mr. W. E. May, uf Vernon, are both able to gel around again after lung illness. A road is needed up the north fork Of Kettle River past the rapids, a mile and a half beyond Grand Forks, where several settlers have located recently. Mr. Mac Thompson lies seriously ill at Ingram's ranch, and is not expected to recover. He is an old Montana and B, C, miner, and seventy-eight years of age. Mr. William Postlll, of Duck Lake, is going shortly to drive his cattle over to the Bear Creek ranges, where they will be herded during the summer. He has rented his ranch on shares. The new steamer " Okanagan Falls" is not expected to run till about the first of June. She is entirely completed, and is only wailing for her machinery to arrive from the cast. Mr. Mnnaghan, of the Cariboo and Amelia, Damp McKinney, is about to purchase a concentrating plant while in Spokane, the returns from the oro run through the stampmill having been exceptionally rich. Mr. 0. I'itteudrigh is putting up extensive I'cni ing on his ranch two and a half miles above the mouth of Ruck Creek. Mr, Gibbs is also making great Improvements on his land on the same flat, A new strike of 22. inches solid ncc is reported from t he Skylark. Those conversant with the high character of this ore will near with pleasure of the success attending the efforts of Messrs. Ilulbi'iiiik and Walters to develop their property. Though the season is exceptionally backward, the Kettle River district and the Lower Okanagan arc looking lovely just at present, People fond nl' line scenery caiuint select a bettor I bile fur visiting the country than during this month. Mr. II, Cameron, Ihe pionoor of the camp, and Mr. Malcolm McQuaig, for-, uicrlyuf Ruck Circle, will apply fur a license to sell liquor at their hotel at Camp McKinney at the coming licensing court Iu he held al, Osoyoos. Mr. George W'hclan's new residence nn his ranch in the Mission Valley is now completed. It presents a much more tasteful appearance than Ihe nui- jnrity of houses of its class lately built in tlie district, and is lilted up with every mndern convenience. Mr, Van Horno and pthor (MM!, made a flying trip uver the S, k O. during Ibis week. They are nn their regular annual Inspection tour uver the western divisions. It is to be hoped that whoever saw them up north pointed, nut ihe Injustice uf the freight rales iu force on the lake steamer. Snow has disappeared nil' the majority of the camps un Boundary mountain, and in the Atwood ami White camps the development work carried on by Messrs, Wake, Alwniid, Douglas, iMcCurinick, Gome, White and others shows up well, tho main ledge being traceable for miles. Although the ore bodies do nut appear Iu boso extensive as in tbe Greenwood camp, still the quality is exceptional, assays from the Lincoln running 200 oi. in silver and $160 hi gold, The ledge at this end of the camp widens uut to 10 feet. The ure is of a concentrating nature. Mr. John Murray, of Oro, who was in Fairview this week, stated that a steamboat landing is being made on the Okanagan River, ten miles soul li of Oro, and it is intended to attempt to navigate to that point this season from Wcnalchee, where the Great Northern crosses the Columbia. This will only he possible during high wiiI.it for an eigliteen-ineh stern- wheeler. Last season the river was successfully navigated as far north as Alma,'about forty utiles north of Oro, It has been figured that with, a com- paralively smail expenditure the river could be made passable as far as Osoyoos Lake, Vernon Notes. (From our own correspondent.) Vernon, May 7.—Some strange things have happened this past week. Our city fathers advertised I'm' grading and gravelling Barnard avenue, and on opening the tenders Simmons Bros', was found to be the lowesl audit was accepted, They afterwards threw it up, .Vow, iu jusl ice In all, thi' next lowest should have received the job, Wlia! did some nl' the council do? Why, they peddled It around, anil nut finding any lakers, decided tu split the contract, asking fur tenders' to grade and supply the gravel iu separate tenders, and in their wisdom will hire men tu spread the gravel themselves. I will send an account of I bo saving effected by this penny wise ami pound foolish transaction later on. As in law and custom in li.

Probably the strongest man in this end is Donald Graham. Whether he would accept (be nomination or not I do nut know, Mr. J. M. Martin, Mr. T.

As the sum of SSjO.OOO has been voted for provincial surveys during; the present ycnr.ii portion of this amount could well be expended in a survey of the i nunii'y along t|>e north, fork of Keltic {•Ivor, This sectjop of the district is already Battled, up for a distance of about eight miles from its junction with the piajn river nnd, according to (he statements of the few who have explored this region, there appears to tie room for about seventy-live more families up the river. From the tuwn- sito nf (li'itnil Forks, tin: valley of the river is very narrow for a distance of pinup tbpec miles, nt which point, after pusoing iVuwby Bros', rnni'h, it widens put into a valley averaging about two |nj|p.S wide. From here up the river for a distance of about sovep miles to Fisherman's creek, which enters the plain sttKiiiifnini the north-west, there |m consiilerable rich past ure land on flic hills nil bulb slopes, while Ibe bottom lands consist of a rich sandy and grnv- idly liinin |:uvcrc(l with scattered pine pud small cultnmvnnd. From here on |.n Twenty-mile creek, which cnuies in from tbe east, Ibe valley 1b covered to |i great extent along tbe river bottom with heavy cedar of llrst-cliiss quality, fll this section also Ihcrc arc several pali ben of open bottom lands, which could lie converted into small but good |uiy inoadows. From Twenty-mile preok north for another twenty miles (Jie valley of the river maintains an avepage width of a little under two miles, the cptire bottom land being thickly timbered with white pine and l'.ei]ar of excellent qualify, The soil is |ti most parts very rich, but a great ileal of clearing would have to lip dune to liriqg any large patches under cultivation, The mountains on either side lire steep anil rocky, anil the grazing land is pot s;> good as further down the s|,roani. At a distance of about forty miles the. river brapphos Into two forks, tho east and tho West. The former is part of Mr. DiirbcKiioy's railway route to Bowman crecKpui ibe Columbia river, nearly opposite Sprout's, For snine cnnsii'.erabledistance the valley of tills erecK is about one mile wide, nml In some places widens out to double phat width.

It is not claimed by any means that there are many "snaps" (eft in the way of open land, but that there are many places which could be converted by means of the axe anil the stump-puller into good farms, pome would require a great deal of clearing, others very little, [t is a case of first come, first served, With the growth anil development of the Grand Prairie valley nnil the many mining camps near by, tbe tine lumber |n this region is certain tn be put tn practical use. It can nil be (united down stream to Grand ForKs, a few hundred yards above which tqwnsitc there is a first-class place for booming jogs. At present there are a large number of drift piles up tbo river, and at high water there is a possibility uf damage being done to the bridge, us the stream rises rapidly and brings flown floating logs and debris. The most interesting point connected with the valley is the Brown mine, which lies on the east Bide, about ten miles un stream' Over twenty years ago, Mr, Bowman, Dominion geologist;, who visited this section, reported that the immense bodies of Iron and copper cropping found there would, if pierced, in all probability disclose large bodies of silverure, On flic strength of this report several claims typrp s;tiiKod oil by Mr, Brown four yours i(gQ, and a company formed in Health' tq develop the prospect,, which pxnonilpd $5,Q0Q in development work, principally in running a tunnel, Two ini'll werownrKingniiniie nf the claims all lust winter, and the original locator pas not yet Ipsf faith in the ultimate BUcppSS i|f |i|i,i enterprise..
