Somewhat over a hundred citizens, among whom were a goodly number of ladies, turned out to the public maeting held in Steward's hall on Thursday evening when the subject of the incorporation of Penticton into a city or district municipality was discussed. J. R. Mitchell as president of the Board of Trade and W. J. Clement as secretary were respectively made chairman and secretary of the meeting, the meeting having been called under the auspices of that organization. To open the meeting, the chairman called upon the secretary to read some correspondence which he had had with the various incorporated localities in the district upon the subject. Mr. Clement then read letters from the municipal clerks of Summerland and Kelowna, the mayor of Vernon, and the clerks of Armstrong and Enderby. The letters dealt with the advantages of incorporation, taxation and other important questions. The rate of taxation proved to be much lower in the places incorporated as district municipalities. D. W. Crowley, of Kelowna, was then called upon and gave some very valuable information, expressing his opinion that it would be better to organize as a district municipality. Kelowna was a city municipality and the taxes which were now 22 mills on the dollar were beginning to prove a burden. The installing of a water system was also going to cost much more than had been figured on. W. H. T. Gahan next gave an address upon the importance of organization, in his remarks favoring incorporation as a city municipality. He was followed by W. T. Shatford, who spoke very forcibly in favor of organization as a district, rather than a city municipality, stating that it was a greater not a smaller Penticton that was wanted. Space will not permit, at the hour of writing, the setting forth of the numerous points advanced by the various speakers, but a marked enthusiasm characterized the meeting throughout. Short speeches were given by Messrs. Guernsey, Mutch, Nesbitt, Wade, Stevens, Wilton, White, Miss Fowler, Messrs. Cleland, Estabrook, Weeks, Mitchell. Eraut, Main, Baker, and Murk, all of whom favored organization into a district municipality. Mr. Miller wanted to know how incorporation would effect taxation for school purposes, and Capt. Stevens asked for an explanation of the differences between the terms, city, city municipality, and district municipality. These questions were answered by Messrs. Crowley, Shatford and Clement. The following resolution was then put to the meeting with Messrs. Guernsey and Mutch as mover and seconder: "That this meeting is in favor of incorporating Penticton as a rural municipality, and that a committee be appointed at this meeting, consisting of Messrs. Shatford, Mitchell, Clement and Wade to take the necessary steps for incorporation." A standing vote, of property owners only, was taken which showed 68 in favor of the motion. The meeting then adjourned. C. P. R. Strike Ended. Ottawa, Oct. 5. -The Department of Labor received a telegram this morning from Bell Hardy, organizer for the Canadian Paciiic strikers, as follows: Winnipeg, Oct. 4. The employees of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company have decided to accept the award of the Conciliation Board. Winnipeg, Oct 5. The strike of the Canadian Pacific mechanics came to an end yesterday. The conditions of settlement are : The representatives of the men are to wire the Labor Department at Ottawa this morning accepting the majority report of the Board of Conciliation. The strike is to be called off separately for the Eastern and Western Divisions, thus conceding the point contended for by the C. P. R. management that the East and West are separate divisions. TheC. P. R. is to "use all reasonable means to find employment and to prevent discrimination against the men." The strikers will return to work on Wednesday morning. Montreal, Oct. 5. -Vice-President McNicoll of the C. P. R. said to-day: "We had a despatch from West last night saying that strike was going to be called off, but have not yet had any official information that it has been called off. Still we are satisfied that arrangements to that end have been made, because the despatch comes from our own people. It will probably be an hour or two, therefore, before the strike is officially declared at an end. In the event of its being called off, the heads of various departments will be able to employ a large percentage of the strikers." Asked as to what would happen to the men brought out from England, Mr. McNicoll said that the company would, of course, live up to the terms of its agreement with them, adding that most of them were engaged under a three months' charter.

On Thursday last the local lodge of Oddfellows held a | Pert^ special meeting to receive a visit from Grand Master Fulton, of Ladysmith, who is making an official tour of tho lodges of the province. Nearly all members in this locality were present, while several came down from Summerland to attend the function. After the lodge was opened and the Grand Master introduced, the brethren present were treated to an inspiring address from Bro. Fulton. His address dealt principally with the progress of the order throughout the world, and especially in B.C. The practical application of the principles of the order to everyday life was clearly set forth by the Grand Master in his reference to the recent fire at Fernie. He told how, that after the fire, the lodge there had wired him i for assistance, and he had immediately issued an appeal to all lodges in the province to do something to assist their brethren and families in their distress. A prompt and practical answer to this appeal was the collection of over $5,800, which was sent to Fernie and distributed among the brethren of the order and their families. The total membership in North America is now over 1,800,000, and the order is growing in every state and province. Several of the visiting brethren also addressed the meeting, after which an adjournment was made to the dining room of the B. C. Hotel, where two long tables, laden with the best of everything edible that could be obtained, awaited the visitors. Ample justice was done by every one to the good things provided, and a pleasant hour was brought to a close by the proposing and drinking of several toasts, among them were "The Grand Master," "Penticton Lodge, No. 51," "Our Visiting Brothers," "Our Host," "The Ladies," and "Noble Grand Bro. Tupper," proposed by Bro. J. W. S. Logie, who spoke of the untiring efforts of Bro. Tupper in organizing and building up a lodge of Oddfellows in Penticton. The singing of Auld Lang Syne brought to a close one of the most pleasant and successful functions of the kind ever held in Penticton. DTW. Crowley, of Kelowna, spent Thursday night in Penticton. J. Barker is putting up a cottage on his Echardt Ave. pro- returned Tuesday day's absence in A. E. Kay has bought R. M. Stewart's cottage on Ellis St. Weather Report.

COMMUNICATIONS (Wa do nut hold ourselves responsible for the opinions of correspondents.) To the Editor ���( Tun Penticton Press : Sir,���I wish to refer briefly to a letter appearing in your paper of last week regarding the foreshore. It is not my intention to criticise the letter in any way, but think before anyone writes a letter of that kind they should go carefully into the matter. Tne section quoted by Mr. W. T. Shatford has no bearing whatever in the matter, but it is not my intention to state here the different sections and acts under which any one may apply to obtain the right to lease the water front. The point I contend is this, that any person or company may have the right to apply for a lease of the waterfront from high water mark out into the lake. Whether the applicant may go back to the mark where the water was at the time the crown grant to the S. O. Land Co. was issued, or not, I am unable to answer, as I have not seen the Company's grant. When on the coast last I interviewed one of Vancouver's leading King's Counsels and after looking carefully into the matter he agreed with me that there is (Conti med on page i) Boots & Shoes We have just added to our stock one of the largest shipments of Shoes we nave ever received, and we believe at the present time we are carrying the largest stock in town.

"I take their place," he said at last, with dignity. Following supper, which Dallas prepared, all gathered before the cheery blaze. There the evangelist, auxiou* over the welfare of the people among whom he had preached and taught, promptly began to question Squaw Charley. "You have not told me of your capture," he said, "or of the fight that spired. Like Lounslmry, lie marked the unusual character of this woman of the far frontier. But he saw further than had the younger man: With her father and sisier she was all Grinoesi and strength, as if she held herself to be the mainstay of tlie family, yet now and then unwittingly she betrayed qualities that were distinctly opposite. Like Lounsbury, too, when he touched upon the subject of her lifn it was to inquire if she had spent any of Its years in a town. lie felt certain that she had not; at the same time his belief was curiously contradicted by her bearing, "I'll always live on the plains." she said, having told him of the mesa and their migration north. "If I left 'cm for awhile I'd learn things I don't know now, nnd when I came back maybe I wouldn't be satisfied with tho shack or with dad and Marylyn." "Child, where dio you gut that came before It Were you taken in thought?" he asked, astonished the north���iu the country of the Whit/} Mother-or in Dakota?" The Indian nodded. "Dakota?" v Swiftly the pariah's whole aspect altered. A momeut before, satisfied an to food, happy nnd comfortable, ho had squatted down In bis blanket. But now. his shoulders bent, his chin sank to his breast, bis eyes grew dull and sullen. "Were you in the Mauvalses Terres?" queried the evangelist. Squaw Charley shook his bead. "On tbe Powder?" There was a silent assent. "The soldiers pursued. Maybe they surprised you���which?" To answer the Indian rose slowly. With one of Lancaster's crutches he raked out some ashes and leveled them upon the hearthstones. Next, across them, stooping and using a finger, be drew a varying line tbat showed the trend of a stream. Far up toward its source, in a bend, he placed bits of bread from the table to indicate the lodges of his tribesmen. Slivers from a stick showed that tbe tepees had been set thickly In a grove of tall cot- tonwoods. White beaus, from a filled pan on the floor near by him, stood for the warriors that had fought Ills fingers moved more quickly as uy means of a handful of corn that Dallas had put in bis leather pouch ho planted tbe United States troops on three sides of the lndinn campground and moved thein forward to the attack. Adroitly he maneuvered tbe opposing forces, with advancing here und retreating there, groans when 'the white men felt the fight too keenly, low whoops to picture an Indian gain, little puffs of the breath to betoken flylug bullets. The onlookers saw the battle as It raged nbout the tepees. And the flickering lantern, as Squaw Charley moved it in a semicircle, told them that the firing began at daybreak and continued until dark. All at once he changed tlie picture. Twelve beans were rapidly counted out and laid Iu rows, and he mourned softly over these to show that they were slain warriors. Five kernels of corn��� a line of pale faced dead���were placed beside tbe bean rows. This doue, be covered tbe lantern with the grain sack aud leaned back against tbe logs. "Aye, aye," cried David Bond sadly, "twelve braves and five troopers perished! Seventeen souls went to their Maker to mark the greed of the white mau aud the yearning to harry off the red! Why do the Indians uot stay in peace and quiet upou the lauds set apart for them and not go abroad stealing and slaughtering? Why do my own people uot give buck to their brothers the country that is .igbtly theirs?" Once more Squaw Charley stooped forward and, resting his weight on one baud, traced the retiu-n march of the troopers to a crossing of the Missouri, where the command had buried its dead; from there he drew the route southward to the ferry und Fort Branuon. Here he stuck the splitters In a circle to picture the stockade below the barracks. At last, rising, he drew Ills blauket close about him. put tbe grain sack over Ills tangled hair and, with a partiug look toward Dallas and the evangelist, went slowly out Perfect quiet followed the pariah's going. His recital of the conflict, dumb though it was, had powerfully stirred the little audience, for as he had proceeded with his crude mimicry the imagination of the others had tilled in the scenes he could not sketch. The section boss spoke lirst. Not Incapable of feeling, yet disliking to show emotion because it might be counted a weakness, he hastened to clear the air. "Say, Dallas," he drawled, with a survey of the battlefield, "he ought t' bad some red Mexican beans fer his Injuus." But the remark failed to appeal, David Bond made a shakedown for blinsolf beside Lancaster's bunk, using an armful of hay and the robes and quilts from his pnug. However, the fact that he needed rest or that his couch was ready did not tempt him from the fire. Lous after his host disappeared behind the swinging Navajfl blankets he sat by the hearth. And Dallas .stayed with him, Marylyn'a sleepy head pillowed in her lap. The elder girl felt,strangely drawn to bim. lie returned the.Interest he In- "l don't know-only my mother would 'a' been happy in Texas if she'd been born there. But she wasn't, and she wanted her old home till She died." Sho wanted her old home till she died���it was only a sentence, yet tlie quiet pathos of it bared to him the tragedy of that mother's exile. "Never a great city, daughter." he advised. "Stay here, menaced by Indians, among rough men and women, these aspects of the journey tbat caused Lancaster to view it unfavorably. He knew that in another thirty-six hours, wheu the original applicant's half year was up. he and uot the other (Would have the clearer right to the 'quarter section. Therefore he regarded the proposed declaration of abandonment, the canceling of the old en- [try aud the filing of a new as forms which need not lie gone through with hurriedly, since the lirst claimant had undoubtedly disappeared for cood and 'nil, but which might he attended to quite as well the coming spring, when the roads would be open and the days iwarm. Confident of bis perfect security on the peninsula and possessed liy a sneaking but denied abhorrence for irush and discomfort, he rejoiced at delay. So having left his snug bed to fumble about In the dark for his 'Clothes and. these donned, having loos- Mi his speech before tbe grateful blaze In the fireplace, he did not argue fatigue or freezing as an excuse for procrastination, lie passed over these "ntlier too briefly and enlarged upon ils safe status as a settler.

"A hull regiment of soldiers eonldn' put us -ffen this Ian', t' say notliin' of a man ���lid ain't done a thing on It sence he took It up. Ah might jes' as well stay home." But he found that Dallas was firm on the question of Ids going���"bald Strong," he termed It���and would not even pause for a discussion. She had risen early to feed the occupants of the lean-to, Shadrnch in particular. Next, with a promise of rest later on, she had awaked Marylyn. Formerly the younger girl would have persisted in questioning her about tbe proposed Journey and in knowing its purpose. Now, however, her Interest In it, like But long after Marylyn left the win- r\u. 1 dow the elder girl remaiued outside ! Tbe dun of the east was painted out | With uprusnlng waves of pink.

As Dallas greeted it the distant ridge of a snowdrift, rose tinged like the sky. hid the crawling speck that was the pung. Ou his arrival behind David Bond Nick Matthews had f I lhat lull pockets were plentiful among Hie sol tilery and had promptly gone about 'emptying them.

"In cities." questioned Dallas, but in a low tone, as if she wished no one to overhear���"In cities do���do the women dress like me?" She raised herself a little, though without disturbing Marylyn, so that he might see her plain, collarless waist and straight, scant skirt. He gave her a smile���a smile as rare and transforming as ber owu. She had allowed him a glimpse of her suppressed girlishness. "Would that they did. my daughter." he answered. "I mean in cities like���like���Bismarck," she said, a trifle consciously. "Perhaps���some���eh���let me see." He was perplexed. He saw the eager light iu her face, saw that for some reason she was striving to compare herself with the women or the settled districts and to learn from him the very thiugs she had feared might bring dissatisfaction with her life. He did not wish to teach discontent. He would not tell on untruth. So he created a diversion by taking up his ulster aud searching in a capacious pocket. "But they���they���don't plow." David Bond brought forth a limp and battered Bible. "No." he said; "no. they���they don't plow." "Ah!" She looked into the fire. Of a sudden two memories had returned ���one of the passing musicians, with their nudging and insolent smirks; the other of a man who had leaned back In his saddle nnd laughed���after all. perhaps not nt her name. "I���I suppose they're more like Marylyn." she faltered. The evangelist adjusted his silver bowed spectacles and smiled down at her. "And if they are would it worry you. daughter?" She shook her head slowly and looked away. He turned his back, so that both lantern und fire light could reach his pages, and. opening the book at random, began to read. The chapter done, he turned round and glanced at her again, ller face was still averted. lie rose to retire. She put Marylyn gently aside nnd rose with him. Then and not till then did Dallas think of their dilemma of the morning. The evangelist's coming and their talk together had caused her entirely to forget about tlie trip to the land office. However, swift on its remembrance, came a comforting certainty in David Bond's sympathy and aid. At once she told lit in of tbe necessity of her father's going. "Shadrnch and I will start with him tomorrow," was his ready response. He put out a band to part the Navajo blankets. But an unsliaped thought made him pause. "You will be alone." "Why, we're not afraid." "Brave girl!" he said. Her confident answer drove away the moment's vague uneasiness without its having taken tlie form or the connection he might have given it. "Uood night." she called softly. "flood night, daughter," he answered, and (he swinging blankets met behind him. CHAPTER VIII. HE section boss was thorough- | ly surprised and not altogeth- ��*>a>Ti er ��"eliKhted at being roused *��M early the following morning witli the news that he could start at once for Bismarck. As Dallas' voice penetrated the partition he returned the only reply Ills Icebound mustache and goatee would permit���a muffled growl. She did not heur It, yet she knew how he felt. Tlie previous day, though a casual observer might have been misled by his garrulous fretting over Ben's lameness, she was quick to note nnd with a pang that secretly he was relieved. But ber pain at his laxity and indifference was not unmixed with pity, for to her crippled father, whose crutches in the snow hindered went about her work silently. Despite the fact that this somewhat revived Dallas' anxiety over her sister, the elder girl felt freshly strengthened In spirit. In all her twenty years of life uo other morning had like this one promised her so much happiness. When the evangelist emerged and, after a sojourn in front of the hearth, joined the family at table Lancaster pined to ask him what he thought Of their braving the elements foolishly. Not that the section boss esteemed his aged guest. On the contrary, Dallas' evident interest in the stranger had stirred the unnatural jealousy In her father's wizen brain. Already he hated David Bond and had him set down for a crank. But Dallas needed a lesson. It was all very well for her to do the outside duties as if she were a man. That did not privilege, her to ride rougnshod over nis opinions or to rule affairs in general with a heavy hand. However, he found uo opportunity for questions. She, reading impatience aud mutiny in her father's every glance, kept up throughout the meal an unwonted flow of talk. "Dad," she said, covering his plate with a crisp, hot cake for the dozenth time, "I haven't told Mr. Bond all about the claim���all the reasons why we want him to take you to Bismarck"���the section boss grunted at the "we"���"so you please tell him ns you're going along. And don't let your coat get unbuttoned or your ears froze. I lien ted some big rocks for the bottom of the sleigh nnd some little ones for your pockets. You'll both weigli so much that Shr.drach can't run nway If he wants to, and you can't fall out Into a drift." Not a word from the others checked her cheery stream of comment. However, breakfast past nnd Dallas in the lean-to, David Bond managed to make n declaration. It was when he saw Lancaster take down the Sharps from Ils pegs by the mantel. "That should ftay behind," he said, touching tlie rifle. "We are leaving your helpless girls nlone. At least they should have lomething for defense." Lancaster instantly agreed, observing to himself that the evangelist after nil had some common sense. "Shore," he replied. "Ah'll put th' gun back au' we'll lake yourn." But he wns corrected with severity. "I curry no weapons, sir." said David Bond. "1 stand for pence." "Then th' gnu goes," declared the lection boss. "Th' gals wns nlone before 'tbout It. They wns no snow on th' groun' then an' a heap more chance of some oue eoinln'. They nin't no danger. An' ef Ah take th' gun meblie Ah c'n git a deer on th' way back. We need th' meat." The evangelist considered a moment. "Very well," he snld, "but I would nd- vise differently." "Ah, shucks!" retorted the other, struggling willi his cont. A moment later his irritation was Increased. At the suiue time the visitor unknowingly covered himself forever wilh suspicion. Through the frosty air and the darkness rnug out the first trumpet blast from Brnnnon, aud, us If totally unconscious of the nction, Dnvid Bond reached up nnd bared ids head. "1 love thnt summons," he said. "It bids our good lads wake aud do their duty." Lancaster was not unmindful of the courtesy due a guest. But any reference to patriotism wns offensive, and lie hnd been pnrticulnrly provoked. So behind tho brond shoulders of tho other he disdnlnfully turned up his nose. They were off nt Inst, with Marylyn watching them from a window and Dallas walking alongside for a few rods to sny goodby nnd to pnt Shad- rach's bony white Hanks encouragingly.

Then, with no word to tlie few loungers in the saloon, the latter set out. following the road that led up the river to the ferry landing. At tlie cut he climbed the bank at a leisurely puce and continued his way eastward, making straight across the snow toward the squat shack of the Lancaster. His approach was instantly marked.

(Continued from page 2) nothing whatever at present to prevent anyone from applying for a lease of our waterfront from high water mark, and if the applicant has the influence and pull with the government the S. 0. Land Co., or any one else, has no power whatever to stop him, for the only right the Company has to the foreshore, I am informed, is what they have under their crown grant. I quite agree with Mr. Shatford that the beach from Martin St. to the Okanagan River should be kept open to the public, and it is for that reason I am taking such an interest in the matter. If the S. 0. Land Co. had leased the waterfront everything would be perfectly safe, but the way the matter stands at present it belongs to the crown and the crown may lease it to whoever they see fit. Yours truly, W. H. T. Gahan. Penticton, B. C, Oct. 7th, 1908. To the Editor of The Penticton Press : Our political parties muster their forces for another trial of strength. On the platform and through the press opposing views will be urged upon the electorate in terms logical and otherwise, truthful and the reverse. For though there will be much truth employed both in attack and defense, the charges and countercharges which the contestants fling at each other cannot all be true. As this is a time when startling experiments are being made in science, in sociology and in government surely it might well fit the occasion to make a new departure in choosing our legislators by basing the whole procedure on plain truthful statement of established fact in the light of calm reason. True, a fight is on, and people in politics, as elswhere, do not "make war with milk and the water of roses." Hard hitters will be in demand, hard blows will be given, and when all is over the combatants, "like gallant gentlemen" will meet each other with undiminished courtesy. But unqualified condemnation of each party by the other places public affairs in a pitiable position before the people at large, while placing our system of government in a false light before less favored nations. The thoughtful elector must surely put to himself such queries as this:"If half the charges brought against the present government are true is not the country in sore need of honest administration ? If half the counter-charges flung back at the opposition be proven where shall we look for faithful and able men to replace our present rulers if we turn them out?" Meanwhile, in far away Turkey, Persia, India, ancient peoples are asking for self government framed on British models. Is it then the part of patriotism to discredit our free institutions before the world at home and abroad by exhibiting the bitterness of party rancour at a time, of all others, when the electorate, the final court of appeal, should bring a calm judicial mind to the discharge of its most important and sacred duty?
