Tinsmithing Plumbing REVELSTOKE FAIR A Successful Exhibition and Well Contested Sports The second annual Fall Fair under the auspices of the Kevelstoke Agricultural Society, was held at the Society's Grounds, in the West end, on Thursday and Friday. The Fair itself was a great success both in point of exhibits and attendance, lhe receipts on the first day alone being within $18 ol tbe total amount taken ou tbe two days of last show. The exhibit of fruit was not so large, but tbe fact that it was all locally grown, marked a deoided score for tbe pio- greeB of RevelBtoke a", a fruit growing diitrict, ind astonished outsiders who visited the Fair. The opening duy wm hot and dusty, but thanks to a refreshing Bhower of rain on Thursday night, Friday opened cool snd pleasant for visitors and sightseerB, so that on the whole the weather was excellent (or the purpose. We publish herewith the report ol the Gun Olub shoot and results of the two days' racing. A full report of the Fair itself will appear next issue: thursuay's racks 1.

GUN CLUB »T Successful Annual Event in Connection With the Fair The annual Gun Club Shoot in con- nentiiin with the Fair celebration, and under tbe auspices of tbe local club, took place on tbe Gun Club grounds, McKenzie Avenue, on Wednesday. Tbe professionals visiting tbe meet were:—H W. Mayuard, of Vancouver, representing tbe Dominion Cartridge Co.; E. C. White, of Ottawa, repre uenting Dupont Powder Company; Garrison, of Olympia, Wash., representing lhe CMC. and Remington Companies. Mr. Garrison cashiered tbe shoot and bandied it splendidly. A. Evans, ol Armstrong, won the beautiful medal given by the McLen- nan-McFeely Company, Ltd , ul Vancouver, for the high amateur aggregate. Mr. Garrison won the Revelstoke Club's gold medal for the highest pro fessional aggregate. The day was not favorable for tbe best shooting, a brisk breeze blowing and tbe atmosphere being hazy with smoke. The result was the scores were low. In tbe team shoot Armstrong tied with Revelstoke for the Revelstoke Cup and in the shoot-off Armstrong won by seven birds. Tbe visitors are to be congratulated on tbeir achievement, and hold the cup for tbe year, the trophy being a very handsome one. In the professionals Garrison won the high score with 144, Maynard being second with 142 and White third with 136. The lollowing were tbe amateur scores: A. Blafr, 109, W. A. Sturdy, 1)9; W. M.

Mr. Gairiaon, who has attended every shoot in Canada and the western states, declared tbe meeting was cue of the best he has ever attended. Next year the RevelBtoke Club expect tbe shoot to be the largest and best attended ol any Gun Club Shoot in the west and are laying themselves out tor the realisation of that ambition. The local club have decided to join the Interstate Shooting Association which will improve their standing and prestige and help the objects tbey have in view. During the day E. F. Tucker took several photograph* ol the events. THE POULTRY YARD Meeting of Revelstoke Poultry Association A meeting ol members of the Revelstoke Poultry snd Live Stock Association was beld at the City Hall Thursday evening to meet Mr. Waby, judge of the poultry exhibits at the Fair. J. J. Devine presided. The questions of prizes and a winter poultry show were discussed and it was understood that the beginning of December would be the most suitable time for such a show. The American Plymouth Rock Club sdvised terms on which they would •live prizes and a trophy for competi- lit.n iu Barred Rocks. Mr. Waby testified to tbe great value of the Barrfd Rock as a layer. He slid the show at the Fair Bbowed Revelstoke breeders were Btrong iu Brown Leghorns and Boll' Orpinutous though weak in other breeds, in which 1 bey would doubtless Boon improve. UF Police Make Smart Capture and Culprit Gets Four Months As the result of tlie prompt work of Chief of Police Parry, Ueorge Hicks, one ol the men concerned in the robbery ol $200 from the lumber-jack, J. Laundrey, who has been working for the AdaniB River Lumber Company, was captured at Vernon. He was this morning brought belore Police Magistrate Foster and sentenced to four months' Imprisonment in Kamloops gaol. Accused is a young man of 18, who hails from Winnipeg, carries a shooting gallery and lias been following the fairs. Laundry gave evidence ol two joining him on the river bank, when one of them knocked bim on the back ol the head, made him dizzy, and when ho recovered he (ound his money gone. He positively recognised accused as oue. Chief Parry produced bills lound on accused corresponding with tbe money Laundry received from the Imperial Bank, and stilted part uf it was found in accused's stocking. Accused said it was his companion Creiner wbo struck Laundry and took the money He admitted leaving suddenly without even taking hiB grips or paying his hotel bill. The Magistrate, in sentencing accused, warned him against the life be was starting out to lead. John Stover, who had also beeu arrested on suspicion of being tbe other inun cuueerned. was discharged on application of Chief Parry, who said he was now satisfied Stover took jo part in the robbery. The money found on both men was ordered to be restored to Laundry. DRAMATIC CLUB Present "Confusion" at Opera House Tlie opera house was crowded last night on tbe occasion of tbe p-esenta tion of tlie farcical conn dy "Confusion" by tbe Revelstoke Dramatic Cluh. We have never seen a better all-round amateur performance, the different parts being well sustained by those to whom they were entrusted, while the audience were kept in roars ol laughter Irom start to finish with an interest tbat never lagged. The curtsin opened on a beautifully furnished Btage effect. Mrs. Lawrence took the comical part ol the old maid, Miss Lucretia Tickleby, which she acted to perfection, bringing out tbe lull humor ol the situations of the piece with striking effect. Mrs. D. M. Rae was excellent as the waiting maid Maria, bent on keeping tbe secrets of wife and mother, the knowledge of which at Jersey Lodge would, it was feared, endanger the position of herself and husband in a service already presenting difficulties, The representation of Rose Mumbleford, the young hride already having trouble witli her husband, could not hnve been curried through its dillicult features mure effectively and nicely than in the hands ol Miss Buck, whose acting well merited the appreciation shown by tbe audience. The part ol Violet, lhe girl in love, was web played by MisB Ella Watson. Mr. W. M. Lawrence made the character ol Christopher Blizzard a great favorite and proved himself at home in the part of fatherly counsellor on one band and in winning the heart and band of a rich old maid on the other. Mortimer Mumbleford, the disgruntled young husband and victim of other people's mistakes was an excellent piece ol acting on the part ol Mr. W. J. W. Brown. Mr 1). M. Rae personated James, the family butler, and intimidated husband and lather, and did H well. To Mr. C. W.Gordon was allotted the part ol Rupert Sun- berry, the simple lover ol Violet, with an idea that all the troubles ol life were due to tbe liver, and he sustained the part well. Mr. W. A. Sturdy made an excellent Dr. Jones, and Mr. R. Ackmun appeared effectively as Michael Muzzle the detective. The stage management was creditable to Mr. R R. Ooptland who handled that end ol the performance; wbile Miss Frances Lawson presided acceptably at tbe piano. A dance followed. THE NORTH PDLE Peary Denies Cook's Wonderful Achievements Copenhagen, Sept. 8.—Daugaard Jensen, inspector of Danish Norlli Greenland, told a representative ol the Associated Press to-day he was perfectly convinced ol the truth of Dr. Cook's narrative. Jensen lirst heard that Dr. Cook bad attained the Polo from Eskimos. He then met Dr. Cook, who confirmed the story.

Hume it Co, THE MICA FIELDS Many Difficulties Attending Development. .I.F. Moodie, manager of the Big Bend Mien Company, Limited, telle a hair .raising story ot tlie difficulties at- tendiug dfvcl.ipmi.nl work in the northern part ol the Big Bend. Owing to the bad state of the Government trail at Mica Creek he has al ready bad three horses killed in transporting bis supplies, and con-plains ot the unnecessary delay of the Government iu starting construction ol the trail via Big Mouth Creek to tbe mica fields. The present trail, even with the limited traffic so far, is in an impassable condition, and borses have to lie pulled out ol the mud daily. Mr. Moodie is well pleased with the appearance of the ground he is work iug. He is getting two classes ol mica, pure white and green, nnd samples have stood the highest teet recorded for mica, nainly 115,000 volts. He expects Sir Heury M. 1'ellali and other capitalists to visit the Com pany's properties uext week. alpine'ndtes A Successful Ascent of Mount Robson An Edmonton telegram advises the successful ascent of Mt. Rubaon by Rev. G. B. Kinney. He made the summit in 20 hours from the Glacier It is a great achievement for a member of the Alpine Club of Canada. Mr Kinnear and Prol. Coleman, Toronto, made the attempt and had to abandon it di-ring each OI tbe past two years. The mountain hss hitherto been regarded as inaccessible, though this year Mr. Munn and other members ol the Knglish Alpine Club Started out alter Mr. Kinney to capture it. Mt. Robson is the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies and has an altitude of 13,700 leet. It commando the western gateway of tho Yellowhead Pass J. 1'. Forde, O.K., of Revelstoke, ie one ol the most activo and successful members nf the Alpine Club of Can- aJa. This season he made several interesting ascents, including a very dillicult climb ol one of the virgin peaks of Mt. Goodsir. On Tuesday be and Mr. I'anpiliiir made a climb of Ml. McKenzie, Mr. Forde remarking that it seemed absurd for Revelstoke climbers to seek lar-otf fields when they bad not yet taken the trouble to climb some of tbe mountains at their doors.

The fact that the fine display of fruits and vegetables shown was home-grown wan ii surprise lo visitors and furnished ocular proof that no part of British Columbia offers greater inducements than Revelstoke to the settler in the way of fertility of soil, variety of production and resources, and value of home market, THK POWER PLANT •he City Council have bad an unusually heavy and responsible lerm of ollice this year. The sewage and drainage works, one of the most important problems I lit-city lins yet faced, and yet one that could be no longer delayed, have lit-en well-nigh carried to completion, and all difficulties overcome, while tlm expenditure has been I kept considerably under the estimate. The severe cold of lust winter put the power plant out of business and the unprecedented lluod which followed and destroyed the llunie. presented further difficulties. While the llunie bus been temporarily repaired Ihe injury to the dam was such that the city is up against the necessity ol building a new one, and this involves the problem of puttiii}; in ini proved hydraulic works and making an absolutely permanent job of them. Hydroelectric plants are notoriously costly to instal in a permanent way, but once the work is done properly it is there practically for ever. The question that Revelstoke has now to face then is tbe construction of a lium of concrete and masonry, supported by concrete uionolilbs, so designed as to give urge capacity to allow for storage of water and yet afford n catchment basin for frazil ice, while at the same time the head of water should lie increased to create more power from the volume of water available it low stage, and have a force sufficient to overcome tlie blocking of tlie generator by small ice Boi - When tbis work is heing done provision Bhould be made for many years ahead, and the power plant should In- put in BUCh n shape that local industries can depend 'in it. and that it will havt : in tended of building up an industrial Revelstoke.

The crisis ill llie history of the power plant is here. and should be dealt with promptly and in a businesslike way, tbe opportunity being taken advantage of to place the plant in a position of absolute strength and reliability of service. When it is considered that since the city purchased tbis power plant, it has earned little short of 20 per cent, on its capital value, Ihere is no city in Canada that can show a wiser or better investment. That, the time lias come when the dam must be replaced is not much a matter for astonishment, though it has been hastened by the heavy Hoods of last spring. We advise our readers who take an interest in this problem to read carefully the report of Smith, K'eiiry and Chace which appears in another pari of tbis issue, and when the public meeting is called to ask the cooperation of the citizens with the Mayor and Council in dealing with it, there are no doubt many who could offer suggestions winch would materially aid tlie Council in the responsible work ahead of them. If the work is lo be done—and it must lie done unless the city is to face the entire loss of the power plant and the inconvenience resulting therefrom as well as the loss of revenue—the Council should he in n position to have the contract let and the work started just as soon as low water stage is reached and before severe wintet weather sets in. \\ Gream Made from cream of tartar derived solely from grapes, the most delicious and healthful of all fruit acids. ^BMaaniMggeSMBffl^BBaBaaBafisssi^iBMaBaaaaaBg ASSAYING Gold, Silver nnd Copper, each ."'ll cenls il. ii.

Smith, Kerry and Chase, hydraulic engineers, of Toronto;— The Mayor and City Coincii., Bevelstoke, B. C. Gentlemen:—Acting under your instructions we hnve made an examination ol your hydro-electric plant on the lllecillewaet river and beg to hand you the following report:— We lind that the spring freBhets have washed out about loo feet of the Hume, and part of the cribwork foundations below the gatehouse and dam; and lhat the foundations of the latter are being considerably undermined and weakened, to au extent to make it unsafe under Hood or high water conditions. We Iiud also that you are operating with a temporary Hume, utilizing only a part of the available heud and water as a temporary condition pending the adoption of a policy in regard to the measures to be undertaken to provide nerma- □eut headworke, and amel. ate the c iiiditions which obtain at low water in the winter months, as a result of which you were forced to install an auxiliary gas eogine about two years ago. We estimate the low water How of the river tu be about 250 cubic leet per second of time, and at Hood, such a* occurred ibis year, about 8,000 cu ic leet. The conditions at low winter water, are, we understand to be, as would be expected, that the water is impregnated with lloat and Blush ice to an extent to necessitate the slur ting down of the present plant at different times Moreover this ice bas been known tu block the channel of the river fora considerable distance down the stream below the power house, and back water up iuto the tail race and Hood it. Our recommendations to you are oa»ed on the necessity of amending these conditions as far as possible, And to provide you with a permanent plant that will allow of extensions and alterations as outlitied, as the demand lor power for all purposes does, as it must, increase. The final development will in effect give you about 1200 k. w., as against 400 now Installed, nl direct connected units with three phase current. It will allow of th - necessary flexibility and provide a proper margin lor safety, will utilize the present power house and water wheel, and retain in its present position the auxi iary g«B producer plant now installed. We bave upon analysis of existing conditions decided to recommend this development in three stages as "inlined, and attach a ■ sketch showing tlie liual result. The lirst stage includes tlie construction of a permanent Monolith concrete dam, with intake for two pipes and one or two blowolfs, situate at a point about 140 leet below tbe present dam. The present Hume bench will be utilized to carry the water Irom this dam to the power house, snd the present dam with a temporary Hume will be used to un- w-iter the site ol tbe new dam during construction. This Hume will be used temporarily to provide additional water for the plant at once. Tbe present Hume will be replaced by a six foot wood stave pipe, using trepresent stave pipe for part ol the distance at Us upstream end. The crest ol the dar.i we propose to raise to an elevation ol 12 leet above that ol the present dam, and provide piers and Stop logs fur an additional head ol 10 leet iu low water, and at all stages of water giving you a bead ol 80 feet. The itl'ect nl tbe adoptiou of this dam would be fivefold, It would provide a settling basin witli an area ol alsjtn ten acres, in which the float ice would cume to the surlace, would provide a meaus Ior Hushing out the sediment tbat must Accumulate in this stream at thiB point, and assist in getting rid of the slush ice; would in low water and ice conditions give the necessary additional power and much better operating conditions; would lessen tbe cost ol the conduit pipes to the power house and provide storage loi a peak load. It is apparent tbat the present turbine under the head available from the prt'sen' dam cannot meet with a proper margin lor peak loads, the (ull demand lor power and lights during the coming winter. At present il is only able to supply this during the daytime, making it necessary to run the gas engine at night. This entails considerable cx|k.iibc. In meet this condition and lo provide lur the increased head, we there. The oven door of the Kootenay drops down and ' provides a shelf upon which to rest the pans drawn from the oven. The door is strongly braced r 8 If you can afford to use ihe best buy Robin Hood Flour The Flour thai: is Different MCCIAK fore recommend for the lirst develop ment the installation ol a new and Bingle-runner wat ir wheel of 700 b p. capacity, with valve, designed to run the present generators installed at the new head. This will meau the setting aside of the present water wheel until the Becond development takes place. The lirst sbould be gone on with without delay, the second, it will, we judge, be necessary to provide for within the coming year. The secontl stage includes the installation of additional machinery, and changing from the single phase to three phase system. It involves the reconstruction of tlie present turbine with larger shaft, and addition ol a valve,—the putchai-e of a 000 k.w. generator, three-phase, with exciter, aud added switchboard equipment, and the necessary foundations, with some wiring tu change from single phase to three-phasecurrent. This unit is installed directly connected throughout on the north side of the present casing, and small alteration in the buildiug only will be necessary to provide requisite space. The effect of this new installation will be to use lhe six [out pipe to its full capacity with both wheels running, provide the necessary means lor shotting down one while the other is being repaired, and in effect to provide altogetht r a tolal capacity of 1000 k. w., inclusive ol tbe present generators installed. This equipment will give the city a good margin as the demand increases for probably live years, depending on development of tbe dirtrict and increased industrial UBis lor pow.T. The third aud liual development involves the addition ot a second six foot stave pipe, from dam to power house, tlie installation ol a third turbine with a capaoily of Ihu) h.p,, and a 600 k. w. generator, same as iu No 2, connecting this unit hy two valves with the new pipe, and tbo lirst unit with the new pipe by valve. The present single phase units could then be sold, and probably the present three phase machines, and a new 400 k. w. generator installed on the present jack shaft in tbeir place, connected up with the producer engine ns at present. The jack shaft would r quire to be strengthened. This will, as mentioned, leave the plant direct connected and three phase throughout, ol a capacity of lliOO k w , without counting the 250 h.p gas engine still retained as auxiliary. Kach ol the pipe lines will leed two of the ma cbineB and the valve arrangement permits ot this. We conclude with preliminary cstiiiiatus lor eacii stage in the development based on present prices lor labor and materials, including ma cbinery and cement. As soon as a decision is rcachi:'1 proper plans and estimate! ihould be prepared lor the full development so that each stage maybe camed mil intelligently in tl aconomiciilly. The quantity ol water on which we base our report should be checked hy daily and weekly guagings continuously timing the approaching low water period and until the full development is completed to permit nl whatever modifications may be necesBary. We have not consider! tl the renewal ol the transmission liiu1 and changing ot the distribution -iys tern. Tlie former will require new poles in a shun time, and will an soon as plan Nu. 2 ia adopted rrquire a systematic remodelling aud considerable nddition ol transmission cable to mett increased load. A luud should be provided for extension ul thin system transformers, etc., at that time.
