Henderson, C. E., and party, left Wednesday morning for Keremeos where they will take train to their homes at Grand Forks, having completed the location of the old railway survey line between Midway and Penticton. For the past three weeks the party, comprising about a dozen men, have been rushing work on the portion of line between Carmi and Penticton, and while some of the men have been in town for supplies every day or two, the most profound secrecy has been observed as to its operations. However, a number of suggestions have leaked out, among them being that it is not improbable that the party, in increased numbers, may be back within a month, and that next summer Penticton will be the base of extensive operations. Chief Henderson intimated to one person in conversation that Penticton would yet be a large city. Before the party left they made arrangements for the storing of their outfit, and also made enquiries as to the cost of supplies. It is understood that a one per cent, grade has been secured, the most difficult portion of the rout 3 being the descent from the divide near the head of Ellis creek to Penticton. In order to make the grade, a distance of seventy miles is traversed between Carmi and Penticton, which are situate only twenty- one miles apart. Descending Ellis creek to near Campbell & Kay's sawmill, the survey line turns up Penticton creek, passing around the mountain and emerging through the draw at C. F. Randolph's place. It then runs south along the west side of the mountain, and crosses Penticton creek near H. L. DeBeck's farm, from which point it gradually descends to the flat. The party under H. E. C. Carry which has been working all summer between Nicola and Okanagan Lake are now reported pushing their survey down Trout c:eek, and may be expected to arrive in Penticton any day. the next move will be watched with interest.

On Monday Provincial Constable Tooth received a despatch from the Provincial Constable at Kelowna to arrest two alleged thieves and pickpockets en rout< from Vernon where they had been present at the Vernon Exhibition. Accordingly, when the Str. Okanagan arrived the two men were promptly taken in charge. They had not been allowed to land at Kelowna, but after the steamer left that point a charge of stealing a jack-knife at Vernon had been made, in consequence of which came the message to make the arrest. The two men, who were traveling under the names Stanley and Barnett, expressed their willingness to be taken back to Kelowna or Vernon. The constable, therefore, in compliance with orders received that evening, conducted them to Kelowna on the following morning. After a thorough investigation, it was found that there was no evidence to incriminate them, and they were in consequence released at Penticton that evening. While here Stanley and Barnett unfolded a tale to a representative of the Press, which, if true, and there seems no reason to doubt their story, should result in a general house-cleaning in the city police department at Vernon. They stated that about twenty sharpers from St. Paul and other eastern American cities conducted about ten gambling devices upon the grounds at the Vernon Exhibition. The men, together with two others, known as Irish Mike and McJimsey, ran one affair in which, according to their explanation, it was impossible for the player to win if the operator did not wish him to. All the games were allowed to run for the first day, after which, as a result of public opinion, all closed with the exception of the one run by the four named. They cleaned up about six hundred dollars and then a quarrel started about the division of the spoils. Stanley and Barnett were, they state, done out of their share, and Police Edwards and Night Watchman Bailey took the part of Irish Mike. They had even encouraged the game, so said the informers, and had permitted it, not only upon the grounds, but upon the street of the city in the evening and later in the Okanagan Hotel. Barnett said that he, personally, had given Night Watchman Bailey seven dollars and a half, and the other three had made the sum up to about twenty-five dollars. He also said that he had seen Irish Mike pass Police Edwards money, and that, in all, Edwards had received between ninety and one hundred dollars. Irish Mike and special constable Greggs drove to Kelowna on Monday to take in the exhibition at that place and Irish Mike bore with him a letter addressed to Constable Kitson, of Kelowna, and signed by Police Edwards. The letter said that any favor show n to Irish Mike would be appreciated, as he was a gentleman. Police Kitson, we were informed, has this letter in his possession. The same set of gambling booths were opened at Kelowna, but were promptly closed by the Provincial Constable; and the citizens of that city were saved at least two thousand dollars. Stanley and Barnett claim that the total receipts of all the stands at Vernon would be between three and five thousand dollars. ^S SEP 27 1908 *LQ9 Per Year In Advakce to answer: Why did hyards permit Irish )e asked Police E Mike and his confederates tc continue their "sure thing" xame after the others had closed': Why did he and Watchman Bailey sanction and even encourage that game? Why did Edwards ;ide with Irish Mike against Stanley and Harnett after first .tilling them to settle their owr liiarrel? Why did ho give Irish Mike a letter to Police Kitson*: Why did special constable Greggs accompany the party of gamblers to Kelowna? Tupper Boweil. At the residence of the bride, Sapperton, B. C. at 11 a. m. Sept. 23, Emma Louisa, second laughter of the late Robt. Bow- ell, formerly of Armstrong, was united in marriage to J. F. Tupper, of Penticton. Owing to a recant bareave- ment in the bride's family, the wedding was quiet, only immediate relatives of the contractinp parties were present. The bride who was given away by her uncle, Rev. J. P. Boweil, bursei of Columbian College, looked lovely dressed in while point des- prit, wore veil and orange blossoms, and carried a boquet oi asters and carnations. She was attended by her sister Alice, also beautifully dressed in white and carrying a similar boquet. The groom was attended by Steven Boweil, brother of the bride. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Jas. Turner, an old friend of the family A dainty lunch was then served, after which the happy couple left by the Great Northern train for Vancouver, taking boat for Victoria for their honeymoon. The bride is a great favorite among a large circle of friends in Sapperton, while the groom is one of the most popular young men in Penticton. Mr. and Mrs. Tupper were the recipients of a large number of beautiful presents. They will take up their residence on Ellis St., Penticton. At home to friends after Oct. 20.

COMMUNICATIONS (We do not hold ouraelvoa responsible for tho oiuniuns of correspondents.) PEACHLAND. To the Editor nf Tim-: PENTICTON Pnrcss: Dear Sir,���I noticed in tic last issue of the Press four different applications to lease parts of the lake foreshore. Since th( first notice to apply for a lease appeared in your columns about a month ago I have been waitinj to see if the Board of Trade oi other responsible body were likely to take the matter up. Nearly everyone I have sp'oker to on the subject seemed to re gard the matter in a rather non- chalent sort of way or expresser' the opinion that somebody ough to do something and then evidently dismissed the subject from their minds as a thing that die not concern them. Very few of our people have yet realized what these applications mean and I think it is higr time that their attention was drawn to the fact that the eye? of the land grabber are turned on our splendid stretch of bead which all admit is the one greal attraction Penticton at present possesses over other lake towns. Now what is going to happen ii these leases are granted ? Only this, that before next summei the only public part of the lakf shore will be the street ends, all the rest will most probably be fenced in with barbed wire fences put up by such public spirited citizens as the four gentlemen who are at present making application to lease the lake front from the mouth oi Penticton Creek nearly to Main street. There is another aspect to this question, and that is: What dc these applicants intend doing when the Okanagan. river is dredged and the lake lowered ': I take it for granted that thej will then apply for more foreshore rights and so on ad libitum Before concluding I would like t') suggest that a petition signet! by all who are interested in the future welfare of the town bt forwarded through one of OUl members to the Minister of Land.1 and Works asking him to refust the applications for leases, and so save the beach and foreshore for the public, especially the children. Trusting you will be able to find space for this letter in your next issue. I am yours very sincerely. Searchlight. Fernie, B.C., Sept. 16, 1908. W. J. Clement, Esq., Penticton, B.C.

"Oh. there you are!" he exclaimed nnd motioned for him to come forth. When the Indian appeared, tbe deerskin in his linns. Lieutenant Fraser pointed toward Hie entrance. "Yon collie with me." he said, with a gesture In the sign language. Sipiaw Charley moved slowly along with him. No one was In sight in the IlicloHure���no one deemed even to he looking on. But. opposite Brown Mink's lodge, the old woman dashed out, seized the hide with a scream of rage nnd dashed hack again. The next moment Charley passed through the sliding panel and took up his march to headtiuarters. "oo this Is your last wild pet, eh. Robert?" said Colonel Cummiugs ns they eutered. He backed up to his stove and surveyed Squaw Charley good naturedly. "Let me see, now. You've run the scale from a devil's darning needle to a baby wolf. Next thing, I supj'ose. you'll be introducing us to a youngish rattlesnake." Lieutenant Fraser rumpled his hair sheepishly. "But you ought to see the way they're treating him ��� banging him around as if he were a dog." "H'm. He certainly doesn't look strong." "They work him to death, colonel." The commanding officer laughed. "A redskin working must be a sight for sore eyes." "But they don't feed him, sir." The outcast, wrapped close in his blanket lifted his pinched face to them. "How'd It happen I didn't notice this ' fellow during the march?" inquired the colonel, a trifle suspiciously. "He was with the squaws when there was anything to do. but when we were on the move he fell to the rear." "Didn't try to get away?" "No. .lust straggled along." "Ah! Do you know whether or not be took part in tbe fight the day we captured them?" At tbe question a swift change came over Squaw Charley. He retreated a little and bent his head until his chin rested upon his breast Lieutenant Fraser threw out his arm in mute reply. No feathers, no paint, no gaudy shirt or bonnet marked the Indian as a warrior. The elder man approached the silent, shrinking figure not unkindly. "Aud what do you want me to do for him, Robert'.'" he asked. Lieutenant Fraser sprang forward eagerly, his face shining. "He's so quiet and willing, sir���so ready to do anything he's told. I'd be grateful if you thought you could trust him outside tbe stockade. He could get tbe odds and ends from tlie bachelor's mess." "I'll be hanged. Robert!" cried his superior, annoyed. "Most men. just out of West Point, have an eye to killing redskins, not coddling 'em." The other crimsoned. "I'm sorry you look at It that way. colonel," he said. "I'm ready to punish or kill in the case of bad ones. But���you'll pardon my saying It���I don't Fee that It's tbe duty of au officer to barm a good one." Squaw Charley raised his bead and cblfted timidly from foot to foot "Well, Robert," said Colonel Cummiugs quietly, "you still have tbe eastern view of tbe Indian question. However, let me ask you this: Hns this man n story, and what is it? For all you know, he may deserve being 'bunged around.'" Lleutenuut Fraser was shaking his head In answer when swift came one from the pariah. Le searched In his bosom, under tbe t:itt. red waist, drew out the rag bound pit), tr nnd bunded It to the commanding officer. Very carefully the latter read it, bis interest growing with every lint;. Finally, giving It over to the lleutenuut, be smiled ut Squaw Charley. "Tbat tells the tale," he snld. "I knew the man that wrote that when 1 was with Sibley in Minnesota, the summer after the massacre. He's a man that writes the truth. He talks the truth, too. and I wish I bad him here now. so that he could interpret for me." "Why. sir," exclaimed the younger men, "it says this chap knows Eng llsh!" "By nil tlie gods! Of course it does. Robert. I'll make him my Interpreter." Tbe colonel strode up ami down in his excitement, pausing only to contend with the other for the paper. "Red Moon." lie said at last, motioning the pariah forward, "do you know what I am saying to you?" Squaw Charley nodded. "Good, good! This is fortunate. Now we can have a talk with these Sioux." He addressed the iudiau ! again. "And you speak English?" he asked. There was a second grave nod. "You shall be my interpreter, Red Moon. You shall have a log house near the scouts, und the great father ut Washington will pay yon. You shnll have double rations for yourself and your squaw, nnd more if you have ' papooses. What do you sny to that?" Squaw Charley had not taken bis eyes from the other's face for an Instant while he was talking. Now, for answer, be shook his bead slowly and Siidly front side to side. "Dou't want to'.'" cried the colonel. "I'll tell you. sir." interposed Lieu- teunut Fraser, studying the paper, "I don't believe he ever speaks. You'll notice that It snys here, 'lint lie has never.' I can't be sure, tint 1 think the next word Is 'spoken.'". "Vow of silence'.'" "Something of the kind. Cnptaln Oliver has been telling me nbout these bucks that nre degraded, und I don't believe thnt. even If this fellow spoke, the rest of the tribe would treat with ns through him." "That's probably true." "They've made u stpiaw of him. sir." Deep humiliation instantly showed lu the pariah's eyes and posture. He looked nt Lieutenant Fraser imploringly and drew his blanket still more closely nbout him. Then, ns with a sign be wns bidden to put it off. be suddenly let it drop to the floor. "Great Scott!' cried the colonel. "He's dressed like one!" "Ills punishment, sir And he won't be taken back us n warrior till be does some big deed." "Whnt does thnt paper say again? 'Out of the weakness of the flesh be wept under the tortures of the sun dance.' So that's the cause of his trouble! What did they do to you. Red Moon?" To reply Squaw Charley quickly invested himself of the calico waist and turned nbout. And Colonel Cummings, uttering his horror, traced with tender finger the ragged, ghastly scums that lined the pnrinh's back. "Muscles torn loose," he said. "Not old wounds either." As Squaw Charley resumed waist and blanket he looked on pityingly. "I'll give him his freedom," he said when the outcast stood ready to depart. "He can come nnd go in the post as he likes. Robert, see that the adjutant understands my order. Now let him get something to eat in the kitchen." When Squaw Charley's hunger hnd dlsappenred before the enforced and rather nervous generosity of Colonel Cummings' black cook and Lieutenant Fraser hnd left him he hurried away from headquarters. Making his way to tbe sentry line north of Branuon, he gathered firewood along the Missouri until dark. ******* The lantern hnd been out for an hour in the cottonwood shack. Father and daughters were asleep. But at the end of that time Dallas was suddenly awakened by the sound of loud stamping and rending in the lean-to. Ben and Betty, roused by the fear of something, were plunging and pulling back on their halter ropes. Startled, her heart beating wildly, tbe elder girl crept softly to the warped door. Her father and sister still slept, undisturbed by tbe noise in the stable, which now quieted as abruptly as it had begun. Dallas heard the team begin to feed ngnln. And from outside tbe shack there came only a faint rustle. Was it the uncovered meadow grass of the eaves as the wind brushed gently through it or the whisper of moccasins on snow? *���*���������* Lnter. when Squnw Charley entered the sliding panel of the stocknde, he crept noiselessly toward the shingle roof. But he wns not to gain it unseen. Afruid-of-n-Fnwn, who hnd been looking nbout for him, bulled him savagely as he nenred, "Wood for the morning fire." she demanded. By the light streaming out of a nearby lodge she saw that Squuw ('hurley wns looking at Iter defiantly, She set upon him, cursing and kicking, and drove him before her to the shelter. "Tbe pig!" she cried. "Running free since the sun was at the center of the sky nnd yet not n stick! May a thousand devils take the coward! He quakes like nu uspen!" Squaw Charley wus Indeed trembling, but only with the cold, and soon, under the shingle roof, the snuggling dogs would warm him. Blows aud abuse counted nothing this night. He wns fed, freedom was his, and he had puid a debt of gratitude. over tne 'younger girl -a change that Dallas hud uot lulled to see. yet had utterly failed lo understand. Marylyn still performed her few -asks about 1'ie house, but with absentmiuded carelessness. Her work done, she took up Ihe long neglected vigil at the windows, I pending many quiet and seemingly purposeless hours there���all unmindful that the beaded belt lay dusty and mill nisbed on a shelf. Only by fits aud Starts was the shack enlivened by ber Iinppy chr.tter. At nil other times she iVas wistful nnd distrait Now, as she Answered her father, a faltering light ��� rept Into her eyes. "The last time Mr. Lounsbury was Iiere," she said hesitatingly, "it wns (he (ith. nnd today is"��� "Ah c'u git it." tlie section boss in- D CHAPTER VT. AD, wbnt's the day nfter tomorrow ?" Evan Lnncnster pursed his mouth und thoughtfully contemplated bis elder daughter. "Ah c'd ilgger It out," he declared after n puzzled silence, "ef Ah had th' almanac."

"Trouble is," he suid nt last, "Ah don' know no day t' figger fr'm���Ah los' track 'way back yonder at th' fore part o' th' month. 'Sides, Ah kain't say whether this Is Tuesday er Wednesday er Thursday, Mar'lyn, d' you remember w'at day o' th' week it is?" Marylyn left the farther window nnd walked slowly forward. As she baited beside ber sister the latter put nn nrm about ber tenderly and drew ber close A change bad recently come "Wood for the morning fire," she demanded. terrupfed. After n moment's tallying on his fingers he sat back and clay peel bis knees in excitement. "W'y, Dallas," he cried, "th' day after t'mor- row 's the end o' thet man's six months!" Dallas released Marylyn. "Yes," she said, watching the younger girl wander back mechanically to tbe post she had forsaken. "And tomorrow you ought to start for Bismarck. Maybe It wouldn't matter if you waited awhile before going, but as long ns tbe weather's good 1 think you ought to go right off." "Ah reckon," he replied, but not heartily. And so once more preparations for a trip were made. That night, when all was ready nnd Dallas and her father, having given the team a late feed, were leaving the stable together, she spoke to him of ber sister. "There's just one thing that worried me about your leaving," she snid. "I don't know if you've noticed it or not, but Marylyn don't seem to be feeling good." "V think mebbe she takes after her ma?" ventured the section boss. Dallas nodded. "No, no," he said, "she favors me, an' they's no need t' fret They's noth- ln' th' mntter with her���jus' off her oats a leetle, thet's all." The developments of the next morning swept every thought from Dallas' mind save those concerning the journey. For when it came time to harness the mules she found that Ben bad unaccountably gone lame. Whether bis mate bad kicked him or whether he had sprained a leg while exercising the previous afternoon she did not know. But it was plain that, so far as be went, the miles between quarter section and land office were impossible. At once Dallas suggested tbat Bptty lie driven single to a small pung ihat bad been built for water hauling when the well froze up. Aceordlngiy the mule was put before the sleigh. Failure resulted. Though both Dallas and her father alternately coaxed and scolded. Betty, with characteristic stubbornness, refused to budge a rod from the lean-to without Ben. Dallas was In despair. "She won't go; she won't go," she said. "We've got to think of some other way." "Yestiddy," observed the section boss us he unfastened the tugs, "y' snld It wouldu' mutter ef Ah didn' go now." He was somewhat complacent over the outcome of the hllch-up. "1 don't feel thnt way now," asserted Dallas. "Thet ol' man up at tb' leetle ben' bus bosses." be volunteered when tbey were again within the shack. "He took 'em to Ciark's two months ago aud walked buck." "Waal, bow 'bout th' Norwegian over by tb' mountain?" "He keeps oxen. If a blizzard enme up they'd never lend you out of it." Then she wns moved to make a suggestion which she felt certain, however, would only be denounced. "There are hundreds of horses and mules nt Branuon. 1 could ask there for a team." Instantly l.nncnster's ire wns roused. "Thet's all Ah want t' hear fr'm you 'bout them blamed Yankees," he snld hotly. "An Ah want y t' remember It." "But you're wrong, dnd." "Eh?" He turned upon her in amassed disgust. "You're wrong," she repeated gently. "We oughtn't to treat the soldiers ns Is they was enemies. Some day we'll be in danger here"��� "Bosh!" "And then we'll have to take their help." He began to hobble up nnd down, working himself iuto a white bent ���"S long ns Ah live on this claim," he snld, "Ah'U never go t' Branuon fer anytnin'. nn' they'll lie no trottnv nnc;; au' forth. Thet ornery trash over tbar j is tb' same, most of It. thet fought th' ' south jus' n few years ago. Ah kain't forget thet. An' not one of 'em 'II j ever set a foot In this house." After more hobbling be burst forth . again. "Ah tell y'. Dallas. Ah won't , Lev' you gals meetin' them no 'count soldiers"��� She smiled at him. "We don't want | to meet any soldiers," she answered. j "But there nre women at the fort - I women like mother. It seems a shame we can't know them." "\" mother raised y' f be 's fine a lady ns any of 'em over tliur!" "Maybe that's true. If it is, then they'd like us, wouldn't they, and we could hnve friends'.' I'm not thinking nbout myself���just nbout Marylyn." i "You gals got each other. Meetin' tli* women at Brannon means meetin' th' men. An' Ah won't hev it!" His Voice rose almost to n shout. I "I'll never Speak to you nbout it again," she said. And her quiet acceptance mollified him. "SI' gal, y' kain't think how Ah feu! 'about them Yanks," be went on tremulously. "An' Ah wnn'l y' t' promise me thet whether Ah 'in 'live er dead y' 'II alius keep on you' own side of th' river." !: She glanced up nt him quickly. "Do you mean that, daddy?" she asked, 'using the name he had borne in her babyhood. |, "Ah do! Ah do!" "Then 1 promise." Her tone wal sorrowful. "Mar'lyn?" The younger girl faced about slowly. "IV you promise?" "Promise?" she repented. "Yes���I��� I promise." Dallas knew that the trip to tho land office was impossible unless Lounsbury should chance nlong���which wns unlikely, some weeks having passed since his Inst visit. Undoubtedly were he to come he would help tbem. I In t .would her father allow her to ask the storekeeper's aid? I'robably not. "I'll tell' Charley about It tonight' die said finally. "We just got to And i way." "Whnt c'n he do?" retorted her fa- !her. "Far 's him 's gitting a team 's concerned, we might 's well look fet some oue t' come right outen th' sky." Her determination to ask advice of (he pariah was a natural one. The morning that succeeded the night of the mules' terror she had awakened to 2nd a reassuring explanation for theii fear. In tbe growing light, ns the trumpet sounded reveille from the fort, she sprang up nnd looked out expectantly. On the top of a drift in front of the door wns a bundle of sticks! A hard crust hnd formed during the night, nnd moccasin tracks lending up to the wood nnd then pointing away again were cast In it with frozen clearness. "That poor Indian!" she hnd exclaimed in grateful relief. Not once after his summoning liefore Colonel Cummings had Squaw Charley forgotten daily to leave firewood at tho shuck. The evening of his second trip across the Missouri. Dallas had lain In wait for him. secreted under the dismantled schooner, which she hud drawn into place beside tbe door. And ns bringing his offering be crossed the snow softly and approached, the terrified mules again announced his coming, nnd she balled him. "Come on, come near," she had called. "I want t.i see you." Eager to prove his good intent he bad hastened forward, nnd she, just as eager to show her thankfulness, bad led him into the house. There, wilh the distrustful eye of tbe section boss upon him and wilh Marylyn watching In trepidation from a distance, be had eaten and drunk nt Dallas' bidding. At the very moment when Dallas decided to confide in him Squaw Charley was not unmindful of her. Where the river bluffs back of Branuon shoved their dark shoulders through the snow, the wind having swept their tops clean of the last downfall, lie was working away like a muskrnt. To nnd fro he went, searching diligently for bufi'nlo chips. A sack followed him on a rope tied to a leather belt, so that he could beat tils hands against Ms breast ns he covered every Square rod of dead, curly grass on the uplands. The bag crammed to the top, be took off his blanket und. despile the cold. began to fill il also. For be knew, nnd fully ns well ns the; .Im watched die thermometer bunging just outside the entrance nt headquarters, thai the ulght would require much fuel. As he hunted nlong the bare rldgo something more thnn the frigid gusts tbat whipped the skirt about his lean shanks urged him to finish his gathering and go rlverwnrd. In the liltle snug cabin out on the prairie u cheery welcome awaited him. Before tbe glowing coals in the stone fireplace be could warm his slinking legs There was good food for his empty stoinitcli But, better than nil else, there II kind ly face always smiled u greeting. The blanket piled so high with chips that Its weight balanced the grain sack, he prepared lo start rlverwnrd.

THE PENTICTON PRESS, PENTICTON, B.C., SEPTEMBER 20. 1908. Additional Locals John Partridge is greatly improving the appearance and utility of his blacksmith shop by the addition of another storey to the front portion of the building. Mr. Gouzee, of the advisory board of the Belgian Syndicates, arrived in Penticton on Saturday accompanied Mr. W. T. Shatford. The following day was spent in an examination of Penticton and its orchards. The Belgian Syndicates have their head office at Antwerp and have been investing largely in Canada having expended some $3,000,000 in the purchase of wheat lands in the Northwest. They have also purchased tlie O'Keefe and Oreenhow ranches near Vernon and large tracts of land near Kelowna all of which they purpose irrigating and sub-dividing. Mr. R. Salmon Backhouse, of London, Eng., and Mr. Alfred Symes, of Thorpe-le-Soken, Essex, Eng., capatalists and members of the London (Eng.) Stock Exchange, were the guests of Mr. W. T. Shatford at "The Ranche" on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. They are visiting: Western Canada for the first time and have invested largely in Canadian securities. They state that British investors are now more favorably inclined towards Canadian investments than those of foreign countries and that there will be a large amount of British capital available for legitimate Canadian enterprise. Both gentlemen were vary favorably impressed with tie Okanagan and expect to re- tarn for a more detailed examination. The Cannery. The Southern Okanagan Canning Co., since the new cooker was installed, is turning out on an average about nine hundred cans daily, the largest output for one day being twelve hundred cans on Saturday, the 19th inst. The cost of production so far this season, according to information furnished by the Secretary, ha? been $1,612.20, while the canned goods produced are worth $1,- 934.40 at the wharf. This gives- a net profit of twenty-three per cent, which is certainly very creditable. According to those conversant with canning affairs, a cannery should be in a position to put up from five to ten thousand cans daily; and an effort will be made to interest sufficient capital to install a steam plant of such dimensions next season. This season the company has been seriously handicapped for lack of funds to cope satisfactorily with the situation. It is stated that enough fruit could be secured from Summerland alone to supply the cannery for a daily output of ten thousand cans. This will give an idea of the immense ] amount of business that may be j secured with very little effort. As to finding a market for the i produce, there is no further room ; for doubt. The secretary of the company spent one or two days on the road looking up orders, when it was ascertained that the entire output for this season could be disposed of in Vernon alone, if desired. Although, at best, the entire output this year will not exceed three cars, there have been requests from Victoria for three cars, from the Vernon Fruit Co. for two cars and over if possible, from a Vancouver firm for a car of the best that could be put up to go to New Zealand as a sample of Okanagan produce. Besides these two cars have been sold at various local points in the Okanagan and Similkameen. With the small plant now in use, this year's operations are much in the way of an experiment, but it must be admitted that the outlook is very hopeful, The Southern Oka Company, LANDS Our Irrigation system having been completed for the Lake Skaha benches we are now offering under this water system some 300 acres in five and ten acre tracts, at $100.00 to $150.00 per acre.
