First of July a Busy Day at Pen- ticton. Large Attendance from Outside Points. :< >: * NORMAN HILL Phone 9 fl Y* The Up-to-Date Ladies' and Gents' Furnishing House $j Main Street, Penticton. K Notwithstanding the fact that the C. P. R. refused this year to run an excursion boat from lake points on Penticton's annual sport's day, there was a larger attendance of those from outside places than on any previous year. The various means em- ploped by the several settlements to span the stretch of water lying between them and Penticton speaks volumes for the friendly attitude of those places towards Penticton. Okanagan Lake presented a busy and charming sight as canoes, row- boats, sailing yachts, and gasoline launches darted hither and thither among one another on the glassy bosom of the lake. The gigantic war canoes, manned by fifteen sturdy paddlers, were thrilling and romantic as they shot hither and thither like ' 'leviathans afloat." J. M. Robinson, with a large launch towing his magnificent house boat "The Lily of the Valley," arrived early with the Naramata contingent. A steam launch brought a scow with a large crowd of our Summerland neighbors, while another, the "Cloverly," brought the Kelowna Brass Band an other visitors from that town. Had a large steamer been available, according to the estimate of a Kelowna citizen, there would have been at least four hundred vis'tors from that point. Those who came in from Okanagan Falls, Fairview, Keremeos, Olalla, Hedley and the outlaying valleys either arrived by stage or drove in with their own teams. It was a typical July day, warm, with sunshine, and just enough breeze to keep the heat from being oppressive. The programme was a long one comprising aquatic and athletic events and horse racing, almost any one of which would have made a good day's sport of itself. ���The most interesting, as well as the best contested events, of the day were the war canoe race, the boys' mile race and the ten mile Marathon. The aquatic sports began at a'xmt 10:30 a. m. and were only ona third through by 12:30, when it was decided to postpone the remainder of the events until evening. A few of the events were cancelled for lack of entries and others were filled up rather slowly, but those that were held were very well contested, while the number of spectators who assembled to witness them, was ample evidence of the popularity of this class of sport. The contest, "Hunting the Duck," was specia'ly amusing particularly so as Mr. Hill's Newfoundland dog took a very lively part in the chas 9 and disputed the catch with Nelson, of Kelowna. The war cance race between Kelowna, Summerland and Naramata, as a rival contest, was intensely exciting, the result being quite uncertain to the spectators until the canoes had rounded the half mile buoys and were well on their return trip. The Naramata boys, pulling an even stroke, came in a couple of rods ahead of Kelowna, wjjth; Summerland about double that distance to the rear. '"" The horse races were witnessed by a very large gathering. There were fewer races than last year, but the purses were larger and the races probably an improvement in consequence. There were six entries for the Marathon race,��� Bell, Kruger, Marsel, Stirling, Denniston, and Manuel. The latter dropped out after the first lap. The above relative positions were maintained until the fourth round on the half mile track when Kruger took the lead and kept it until the 14th lap. Denniston left the course after the 4th lap, and Bell after the 8th, while Kruger kept about an eighth of a mile ahead of Marsel and Stirling, who ran near together during the greater part of the race. Stirling, the winner of the Kelowna Marathon, found the wind of his rivals too much for him and left the course at the 13th lap leaving Kruger and Marsel to finish alone. The latter spurted at the 14th round, passing Kruger by one hundred yards. He gained gradually during the remaining six rounds, coming in over hall a lap ahead of Kruger. The first five miles were made in thirty-three minutes and the entire race completed in 72 minutes. The Kelowna Brass Band provided music during the afternoon and on the wharf in the evening. Following is a list of the prize winners: AQUATIC EVENTS. Boys' swimming race ��� 1st Raincock; 2nd Agnew. Men's single sculls���1st Avis ; 2nd, Huycke. Ladies' single sculls���1st Miss E.

The trustees, however, were con- spicious by their absence, not one member of the board being present. A very creditable programme was rendered by the scholars, after which Principal Barker presented the honor rolls. In Division I, Gladys Weeks was awar ded the roll of honor for deportment, Emma Parkins for punctuality and regularity and Marie Wyllie for proficiency. In Division II, the winners in the same order were Victoria Eraut, Mary Mahoney and Eva Jackson; and in Division IV, Iola Agnew. Regie Shatford and Rhoda Parkins. One of the members of the teaching staff, Mr. Tupper, being absent, the names of the winners in Division III were not known. The rolls for that division will be distributed upon his return. Principal Barker, in a few words, spoke of the effective work done by all divisions during the past year. Eleven had written recently on the High School examination, and six others were writing on either the first or second year's work in the High School. Rev. J. A. Cleland then spoke, voicing the entire community in praise of the very excellent work done by all the teachers. The final item of the program was the raising of the school flag on the magnificent pole erected the day before in the grounds. The scholars assembled on the grounds, and, when the flag reached the top of the mast, sang lustily a stanza from "The Maple Leaf," ending by three hearty cheers, three cheers for the teachers, three for Principal Barker, and an effort at one for the trustees. Grading Civil Service. J. A. Mara, of Victoria, and Moses B. Costworth, formerly of York, England, commissioners appointed by the provincial government to grade the entire civil service of the province, sper.t Thursday evening and Friday in Penticton. There is to be a complete reformation of the service. It will be removed altogether from political control, and appointments and promotions will be made upon merit only. The fitness for position will be determined by competitive examinations held periodically, the examinations to be both practical and theorelical, while promotions will be based upon services and further competitive examinations. There will be three of those examinations, covering three degrees in the service, and the salaries will be raised in proportion to the standard attained, and will be considerably in advance of those paid in the past. In addition to the value derived from a more efficient service, the system will obviate all possibility of influence, or pull, in getting situations on the service. The most humble will have as good a chance to get on the service and be promoted as those with the most influential friends in parliament. This means clean government. Death by Accident. Mrs. Robt. Boweil, of Sapperton, B. C. last week, while visiting at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Tupper, in Penticton, received the sad intelligence of the death, by accident, of her son, Frank Boweil near New Westminster. The young man, who was about eighteen years of age, was working with Geo. Eberts in hauling logs to the Burdette stream, and it was while unloading from the wagon that the mishap occured. The team started at something when the log was partly off, with the result that it swung around and struck Boweil, knocking him down and crushing him. He was conveyed to the Royal Columbian hospital, but lived only about two hours. It is only about a year since his father met death in a similar manner. On receipt of the sad news Mrs, Powell, accompaniad by Mr. Tupper, left immediately for the coast. Local and Personal Those having friends visiting them will confer a favor by acquainting tl e Press with the fact. All other local news thankfully received. John Matheson, of Okanagan Falls was in town on Wednesday. Mrs. W. J. Clement will not receive during July and August. Jas. Ritchie, the promoter of Kaleden, was in Penticton Wednesday. Born-On Sunday, June 27, to Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Rathvon, a daughter. There will be no service in the Baptist church next Sunday morning. E. Hayward, of Summerland, spent a couple of days in Penticton this week. The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist Church purpose giving a water carnival during the last week in July. Mrs. J. R. Elliott, of Calgary, and Miss Marion Cossar, of Peachland, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs Partridge. Miss Cambie, who has been visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Hunter for a number of weeks, returned to her home in Vancouver on Saturday. Are the Municipal Council cooperating with the Board of Trade in requesting the Department of Public Works to resume dredging operations on Okanagan River ? Elbert Orchard, Vernon, B. C. announces that until further notice he will sell Orchard's Guide to the Okanagan at fifty cents instead of one dollar ptr copy as formerly. Mrs. Blair and daughter, Mrs. Simpson, and the Masters Simpson, who have been visiting Mrs. Blair's daughter. Mrs. King, for some weeks, returned on Monday to their homes in Vancouver. The name of T. W. Stirling, of Kelowna, is mentioned along with several others for the office of Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia in succession to Hon. James Dunsmuir. Mr. Stirling would, doubtless, do credit to the position if appointed. The wild roses have bloomed longer this season than we ever noticed before. It is now considerably over a month since they first began to appear, and many bushes yet bear a profusion of blossoms. This is probably due to our having little hot weather so far. If the Municipal Council pastured fifteen horses on the recreation grounds during half the month of June, and all of July, August and September at one dollar per month each, and paid a man fifty cents a day to pump water for them, how would the municipality stand at the end of the time ? S. J. Kinney this week presented us with a quart of strawberries grown on his place on the flat. They were of the Clark's Seedling variety, and were the finest, with one exception, we have ever seen, being uniformly about the size of walnuts. Mr. Kinney has no berries for sale this year, but expects to have next. Buyers bear this in mind. The garden party given at tl e home of W. H. T. Gahan on Tuesday evening by the ladies of St. Saviour's church was a very successful event. A programme comprising songs and recitations was much enjoyed by the guests as well as the ice cream, candy and other refreshments. The net proceeds amounted to $27, which will be applied to the church building fund. THE PENTICTON PRESS, PENTICTON, B.C. JULY 3, 1909. DIRECTORY. PENTICTON Population, BOO. Arva. 7.<'4l atirs.

What we observed thoroughly convinced us that the lakeshore route is practicable. For the greater portion of the distance there exists almost a natural roadway. The banks of the lake are clay and gravel, with a narrow gravel beach sloping gradually into the water, with the ' exception of probably a little over : quarter of a mile, where granite j rock comes down to the water's | edge. Even here, however, the '������ water is so shallow that a road j | could be easily constructed by j ! breaking out a portion of the rock and building up on the water side. If it were not desir- \ led to folbw this method, the road could, in all probability, be1 , carried over the bluff. The road between Summerland and Trout Creek is built under conditions identical vvith those that pertain . j between the hitter point and, j Penticton. Any resident of Pen-1 j ticton, Trout Creek or Summer-1 I land will readily appreciate the value to the entire district a level road along the beach would be. We would suggest that the local Conservative Association! get together and see if matters cannot be expedited to some extent, and also to express the desirability of sending an engineer to examine the beach between here and Trout Creek with a view to obtaining expert opinion regarding the route. If the route is feasible, which we believe it is, it would be much better to spend money on that route than on the one over the benches. W. R.

We j roviously pointed out the necessity of the Municipal Council providing some means of local police protection. The main-! !! tenance of a permanent salaried police, of course, would be too much of a burden in veiw of the present meagre revenue at the disposal of the municipality, but, ing of summonses, mileage, and the attendance at court, all payable from costs levied by the court. In addition to this, arrangements could be made whereby the summonses of the small debt's court, for which a fee is collectable, could be serv- made by warrant, for the serv- Bardcti tJooCs Spraying fKateriaC Bee Supplies ERUIT and ORNAMENTAL TREES Home-grown, hardy, tested and proven.

Call in and see how it works. ! as suggested before, this difficul- j ty could easly be gotten over by the employment of a special under pay only while on duty. The Criminal Code provides cer- tain constable's fees for arrests ed by the special. From this it may be seen that the cost to the municipality would be very little, if anything at all. ! It is very important that, in leases of emergency, there be someone authorized to make j arrests without the delay necess- 1 itated by swearing in. We understand that the Council discussed this proposition recently, and concluded that it was impracticable. With this view we cannot agree; it is quite practicable, and the plan has been followed in more places than one by the provincial government itself. If precedent is required, all the Council have to do is to cross the river to the Indian reserve where a special, under just such terms as outlined, has been engaged for years. It is unsafe and unjust that Penticton should be left without police protection. The provincial government have removed their constables, and it now behoves the Council, as the elected guardians of the people, to provide protection within the borders of the municipality. If they have any doubt as to their authority to retain a special constable, under pay only when on duty, let them communicate with the Superintendent of the Provincial Police, or the Attorney General of the province. The duty of the Council is to manifest, and we trust that they will act promptly upon this most important question. Information Wanted. I received a few days ago a statement through the mails as follows: "To professional services, $2.50," without the signature of the sender.

"Drill?-!" she cried aloud, at which he whipped bis bead about, while amazement aud some other emotion she could not gouge spread slowly over bis features, For n long moment be stared ut ber without movement or sign while the drama beneath went on. then he drew back Iuto bis retreat with tbe dazed look of one doubting his senses, yet fearful of putting tbem to the lost. For ber part, she saw uothlng except ber brother vanishing slowly Into the shadows, as though Stricken at ber glance, tbe curtains closing before his livid fare, and then pandemonium broke loose at ber feet. (ilenlster, holding bis enemies at bay. had retreated to the double doors leading to the theater. Ills coup had been executed so quickly and with such lack of turmoil that the throng outside knew nothing of It till they saw a man walk backward through the door. As he did so he reached forth and slammed the wide wings t-:111:t before bis fact, then turned anil dashed into the press. Inside the dance hall loud sounds arose as the ollieers clattered down the stairs und made after their quarry. They tor<> the barrier apart In time to see. far down the saloon, an eddying swlri as though some great fish were lashln" through the Illy pads of a |K>nd. and then the swinging doors closed behind Glenlster. Helen made her way from the theater us she bad come, unobserved and uiiobserving. but she walked lu a dream. Emotions had chased each oilier too closely tonight to be distinguishable, so sh:- went mechanically through the narrow alley to Front street and thenee lo her home. (ilenlster meanwhile had hcen swtil- lowed up by the darkness, the night enfolding bim without sign or trace. As be ran he considered what -course to follow- whether to carry the call to his comrades tn town or lo make for the creek aud Dextry. The vigilantes might still distrust him. and yet he owed Ihem warning. McNamara's men were moving so swiftly that action must be speedy to forestall them Another hour and the net would be closed, while it seemed that whichever course he chose they would snare olio or the other���either the friends who remained in town ot4 Dex and Slapjad out ill the hll|s.

Her face gladdened at sight of him. but he cheeked li��r with quick and cautious words, bis speech altnosl drowned by the roar outside, "Are you alone'.'" Bhe nodded. nnd he slipped the bolt behind him. saying: "The marshals are after me. Wo just had a 'run In' nt the Northern, nnd I'm on the go. No���nothing serious yet, but they want tbe vigilantes, nnd I must get them word. Will yon help me?" lie rapidly recounted tho row of the Inst ten minutes, while she ppddpd llpr quick understanding. .

I want to be g>od and worthy tu love you too." She laid her face against liis arm and caressed him with clinging tenderness. while the wind yelled loudly about the eaves and the windows druinnie I be nenth the rain. His heavy brows knit themselves together as she whispered: "I love you! I love yon! I love you!" with such nn agony of" longing In her voice fhaThoFsoft accents were sharply distinguishable above the turmoil. The growing wildness seemed a part of the woman's passion, which whipped and harried her like a willow in a bhu-t. . "Thing! are fdarfully jumbled." be said finally. "Aud this is a bad time to talk nbout them. Iwish they might be dllfereut. No other girl would do What you have offered tonight/' "Then why do you think of that woman?" she broke in fiercely. "She's bad und false. She betrayed you. oner: she's In the play now; you've told me so yourself. Why don't you be a man and forget her?" "I can't." he said simply. "You're wrong, though, when you think she's bad. I found tonight that she's good and brave and honest. The part she played'was played Innocently, I'm sure of that, In spire of the fact that shell mnrry McNumara. II was she who heard them plotting nnd risked be reputation to warn me." Cherry's face whitened, while the shadowy eagerness that had rested there died utterly. "She came into that dive alone? She did that?" lie nodded, at wlileu she stood thinking for some time, then continued: "You're honest with inc. I try. nnd I'll be the same'witli. you.

Tbe dim light showed the convulsive fury j of his features above the leveled weapon, whose hammer was curled back like the head of u striking adder. Ids eyes gleaming with frenzy.

"That's a hell of a question," the gambler said hoarsely. "I want you. of course, and I've got you." "Hull tp! I am unarmed. This is your (hl.nl try. and I want to know What's back of it." "Damn the talk!" cried the faro dealer, moving closer till the light shone on his features, which commenced to twitch. lie raised the revolver he had half lawered. "There's reason enough, and you know it," Clenister looked him fairly between the eyes, gripping himself with Hrni hands lo stop tlie tremor he felt In Ills bones. "You can't kill mo," he said.

"I gave Cherry, nfly. | gun." "Yes. and more, toq," the mail gritted. "I saw il nil." Even yet (Jleuister had made no slightest move, realizing that a feather's weight might snap the gambler's nervous tension nud living the Involnn- tary twitch that would put him out swifter than 0 whip is cracked. "1 have tried it before, but murder Isn't my game." 'Ihe Kid's eye caught the glint of (."berry's revolver where she bad discarded it. "There's a gun. (Jet it!" "It's no good.

He thought witli a pung of the girl facing this tempest, going out to meet Ihe thousand perils of Ihe night. And il remained for him to bear his part us she bore bers, smilingly. The Inst hour bnd added another end mysterious danger to his full measure. Could the Kid be Jealous of Cherry? Surely not. Then what else? The tornado had driven his trailers to cover, evidently, for tlie streets were given over to Its violence, and Boy encountered no hostile sign as lie was buffeted from house to house. Ho adventured cautiously and yet with haste, finding certain homes where tbe marshals hnd b?eu liefore bim peopled now only by frightened wives nnd children. A scattered few of tlie Vigilantes had been taken thus, while the warring elements had prevented their families from spreading the alarm or venturing out for succor. Those whom he was able to warn dressed hurriedly, took their rifles nnd went out Into the drifting niglit. leaving empty cabins nnd weeping women The great fight was on. Toward daylight the remnants of the vigilantes straggled into the big blank warehouse on the snndsptt and there beneath tlie smoking glare of lanterns cursed the name of McNamara. As dawn grayed the ragged eastern skyline. Dextry and Slapjack blew in through the spindrift,-bringing word from Cherry and lifting a load from Gleulster's mind. "There's a game girl." said tlie old miner ns he wrung out bis clothes. "She was half gone when slip got to us. und now she's waiting for the storm to break so tbat she can collie buck." "It's clearing up to the east," Slapjack chattered. "M'you know I'm get- tin' so rheumatic thnt ice water don't feel comfortable to me no more:" "L'rlutle acid in tlie blood," said Dextry. "What's our next move?" he asked of his partner. "When ill we hang Ihis politician? Seems like we've got enough ablebodied piano movers here to tie a can ou to the whole outfit, push tlie town site of Nome off tlie map and start afresh." "I think we had better lie low aid watch developments," the other cautioned. "There's no telling what may turn up during tlie day." "That's right Strnnglers Is like spirits���they work best In the dark." As the day grew tlie storm died, leaving ramparts of clouds hanging sullenly above the ocean's rhn. while those ^killed hi weather prophecy foretold the coining of the equinoctial. In McNamara's oliice there was groat stir und Ihe coming of many men. The boss sat In his chair, smoking countless cigars, ids big face set In grim lines. Ids hard eyes peering through the pall of blue al those he questioned. He worked the wires of Irs machine until his dolls doubled and danced and twisted lit Ills touch. After a gusty interview he had dismissed Voorhees wilh II merciless tongue lushing, raging bit- lerly nt the man's failure. "Yot're not fit to herd sheep. Thirty nip,' out nil night and wli.it do you get? A d izen mullet headed miners. You bag the niiidlicns and tlie big gillie runs to cover.

"N.ibo.'y came near Gleulster's house excent Miss Chester," the man replied. "What?" "The judge's niece. We caught her by mistake In tlie dark." Later, one of the men who had been with Voorhees at the Northern asked to see the receiver and told him: "Tlie chief won't believe that I saw Miss Chester In the dance. ha|l Inst ulght, but she wns there, with Olenlster.

(From the Western Fruit-Grower) ' 'Apples are certain to become the staple products of Washington and within a few years the value of the state's crop will a- mount to three times the value of the wheat output, now placed at 40,000,000 bushels a year, and considerably more than the i mual output of gold from Alaska." W. N. Granger, government irrigation expert and manager of the Surnyside project in the Yakhr? Valley, said this in an nouncing that 750,000 acres of land will be under irrigation sys> terns before the close of the next decade. "It is my belief," he added, "that the increase in irrigation of arid lands in Washington will not cease until from 2,000,000 to 3,000,090 :icres are put under water. I believ, too that the Yakima Valley will continue to lead the state in the number of acres of land under irrigation, and there are reasons to believe that at least 500,000 acres of land h. the valley will be under water within the next ten years. "The question has been brought to the fore many times in the last twenty yea's as to whether apples would depreciate in value on account of the vast acreage devoted to them, and my answer is now, as it has always been, that the markets are rapidly increasing and prices ate advancing. There is not enough land in the state of Washington to make the price fall. "There is money in raising apples and money will continue to be made in the busirvps for the next 200 years at the lowest estimate, as the demand for apples was never greater than at the present time, and this will continue for centuries." -PARPEN TOOLS- Lawn Sprinklers.
