Reception to Rev. King. A social functien of especial interest wns the formal reception ten- dqred Rev. and Mrs. H. J, King, the new vicar of St. •lames' church Monday evening. The'event oc- cured in the spacious I, O. f?. hall, where was afforded ample room for the large number present without their pleasure being any way marred by undue crowding as is too (often the case in events of a similar nature.. The reception was not only attended by members of the Anglican church but the large number of members and adherents ofother churches showed that the townspeople generally united in welcoming Rev. King and family toour midst, The happy wpirit of friendliness existing between the various church denominations was shown by the presence and active participation of both Rev. Campbell and Rev. Miller, the li.tter making the cold drive from Enderby for the occasion. While no regular programme of a literary nature had been prepared addresses by Rev. Miller and Campbell and H. Hawkins and a couple of ably rendered solos by Rev Von- ables furnished ample entertainment along that lino. E. S. V. McClintock proved himself n thoroughly capable and pleasing chairman, Before the clime of an even- ing pleasantly spent in social intercourse ami getting acquainted refreshments were served, the daintiness and Biiuiptuoustieus of which reflected the highest credit to the ladies of the church, The Weather. We of this district, from Friday to Tuesday inclusive paid up in a small measure for some of the exceptionally fine weather with which we have been blessed during the winter by just a gentle reminder that thiB was March and that the month was subject to tits and starts in the Okanogan os well as in every other place where the month of March is known. On the days mentioned a cold raw wind blew from the north which wns anything but pleasant after being acfustpmed to the days of the preceding month. On Sunday night we experienced the next to the coldeBt and the most disagreeable night of the whole winter.' The mercury came within four degrees of zero, the coldest prior to that being two above. While some unpleasant things have been said of the weather cierk in connection with the change, one cannot really expect perfect weather all the time, and we have really escaped very luckily. Tuesday night was registered the record temperature of the winter at two below. Wednesday the wind subsided and we are again in the full enjoyment of balmy spring weather. The Okanagan is by no means alone in its experience of what appears to be a spell of weather quite unusual to almost all portions of the west. The cold snap of the ! past week accompanied by high winds has prevailed not only throughout the province, but in all the provinces to the east and I the states to the south of us. Be- 'eat-.se of the forwardness of fruit and all vegstotion considerable damiiire has resulted to points on the coast, where the budded fruit has been nipped, From Kamloops range the report comes of the p.r- ishing of four men. The entire Pacific) const has been swept by a belated winter storm of unusual magnitude. With us no material damage has resulted, the fruit not being sufficiently advanced to bo damaged by the frost, House Burned to Ground. The house on the Into John Glansor place four miles northeast of town, occupied by J. H. Bart- : lett, was destroyed by fire Wednesday forenoon caused by a defective 'flue. Mrs. Bartlett and little child were alone at the house at the time, bnt through the titm ly assistance of nearby neighbors their furniture was saved with the exception of the Btovea and some dishes. The farm is owned by | Mis. Moser, of Mara, who will likely rebuild.
