He has stood at the throttle of an engine for thirty- two years. The best paying industry in British Columbia is the Merrjtt police court. On an investment of a table, chair and spitoon, it declared a $500 dividend last week. As the local paper states, "The court is kept busy grinding out' justice.'" The Kamloops Standard- Sentinel has increased its advertising rates. Old Man Simpson, the owner, says this is the first increase in fen years, and as the price of everything has gone skyward he had to do it in order to^get his winter's underwear. It is believed that the salmon industry on the Fraser will soon be a thing of the past. The soekeye run in the Fraser is exhausted.

SMYTH, Manager, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 26, 1919 LACK Of WIGHT ~ mm hits son fruits Sugar Crop Secured to Save B. C. Is Used For Preserving American Fruit. Calgary, Sept. '20r-The five cars of sugar from Vancouver refinery to Calgary arid five cars to Edmonton from the same place arrived and was = distributed on Monday. The sugar was intended to relieve the situation in preserving B. C. fruit, but owing to the low state of sugar supplies for ordinary use most of this sugar was sold without regard to the order of /the hoard of commerce. 'Gj&y one wholesale house J-pj* Edmonton applied the fnilt ^conditions as set by the hoard of commerce, and none at all in Calgary. The eastern five'ears for each city is dribbling in and meeting the same conditions. We have been creditably informed that 3>8 cars of sugar have arrived in Calgary SfiSsO days and ttie\ board of commerce should demand a record of who bought it ahd what it is used for. Sugar shortage has hit Vancouver and Victoria cities, but these good people should bear in mind that it has been acute for two months here. It is remarkable' that the fruit loss has not been greater than it is. The market is dragging, wholesale prices are low and many consignments are being made. There has been little canning or preserving on the prairies this year and very little pickling done notwithstanding repeated warnings In the press, in advertising- and in news articles. The prairie housewives will know the folly of delay when they come to stocking up with factory jams and pickles, as the prices paid for raw material has been very high and will be reflected in their offerings. ^Sg;; Car Arrivals "^Cbt arrivals this week consisted of From B. C, 16 mixed, 5 apples, 2 pears, 1 peaches, 3 prunes, 2 tomatoes,'^ potatoes. From Washington 1 car pears, 2 prunes, 6 peached and 3 cars of Ontario grapes.'^^ Winter Apples There ds a marked improvement on the part of prairie jobbers'in the de-- •niand for wjhiter apples of the favored varieties. Very few are left to offer in the Okanagan valley, Kootenay and Arrow Lakes are making good sales during the week. Honey Honey is in good demand on the prairie market. We notice from letters received from B. C. honey producers that considerable honey is \£or sale. We also notice that no effort is made ,to assemble the total for interprovincial trade. This should be done by the Beekeepers' Association and the honey put up in five lb. cans, which are popular here. The price should be quoted in line with eompet: Mtive points. Ontario honey now rolling costs 26ic there. B. C. quotations aTe uniform at 30c in 60 lb. tins. This is above the present market price. We could furnish exact quotations from time to time to any central point This business is big enough to have It centralized and put on a competi^ tive basis. The competition we meet here is from United States points, Eastern Canada and Australia. Onions We wish to draw attention to onion . shippers that the resolution adopted at the B.CF.G.A. convention re Nor 1 grade onions calls for two-in. onion free from thick necks and doubles; No. 2, calls for minimum of one inch free from thick necks and doubles. Peaches and Prunes We call attention to the situation existing at prairie points regarding the oversupply of preserving fruit, especially peaches and prunes, and its relation to the sugar shortage. During the past month the bulk of the peaches and prunes offered for sale have been Imported from Wash- ington**$The sugar situation there caus ed a lowering of the prices quoted, and we called attention last week that they were under B. C. quotations. The jobbers took hold of these in preference of price only, as the quality in each case is similar. . B. C. Elberta peaches and Italian prunes are now rolling unsold and are being offered at prices having a shade on imported stuff, but as the jobbers have their money in the imported they must allow the B. ,C. offering to pass up. We notice also that during the past four days .12. cars of Elberta peaches are rolling from Washington to prairie points. There is a strange anomoly in the situation. Mr. Winslow went to Ottawa representing the prairie jobbers and B, C. fruit growers and secured sugar to help save the B. C. preserving fruit, which is now threatened with waste largely by the action of the men that he represented. There is inconsistency and bad business apparent and a want of co-operation between buyers and sellers, otherwise this mix-up could not exist. We mention it with a view of preventing its repetition. It would have been better if the board of commerce had placed an embargo on imported preserving fruit so that the sugar secured would have a chance of fulfilling the mission it was intended for. The Week in Calgary The weather is clear and fine. Business has been dull with market overstocked with prunes and peaches. Many are spoiling in warehouses. Sugar shortage and shortage of foresight is to blame. Cucumbers in car- lots are coming from Manitoba, arriving in poor condition due to being shipped in sacks. They contain about 65 lbs. per sack and sell wholesale at $1.00. We notice some nice cukes from B. C, but the great bulk of them are beneath notice. We have sepn better tomatoes this week but soma from Armstrong are rank and unshapely. A stir is being -made by prairie jobbers to secure winter apples, but it comes too late as most of the better varieties are sold out. It is helping the poorly orgaiii?eAdist3^ts_-to- sell their apples at bunetm^r|c|B^»;> Scotch Strawberries and Rasps 1913 We have a letter from Blairgowrie giving the small fruit situation there This year's crop has been a disappointment owing to the very dry seo- son, the raspberry yield being ^$-,15 tons of 2,240 lbs., or about half an average crop. The. berries actually died on the canes. Rasp canes are weak and short, giving a poor prospect for next year's crop. Prices have been good, £50, £'60 and £90 sterling per ton. Some private shipments netted 1 shilling per lb., to the grower. Mr. Hodge, the original Blairgowrie planter and owner of the Auchterar- der plantation, has sold all his interests there at a good figure. Wu are told that Blairgowrie and Auehterar- der districts have the largest raspberry acreages in Britain. . British Apple Price Control 'We are disappointed to hear that the last year's maximum price for apples is still in force and that No. 3 apples are again selling at maximum prices. In British Columbia years harve been spent trying to build up apples of superior quality, and we know that the British buying public want this kind of produce. We made a statement in another issue tb.at this policy will lead to shipments of low grade apples, bringing our growers .and British Columbia jobbers into disfavor. If the intention of the board of control is to get the best apples, why do they, not make the distinction other than on a flat rate? If they want cheap apples they have succeeded in framing their regulations. . - We again repeat that it is unfair to skilled growers and that the British public are being humbugged. The maximum price is ^only what No. 3 apples will command, which is sufficient evidence to show i.ts% unfairness. We sympathize with British buyers who have closed a deal for choice apples in the west in the expectation that the maximum would be placed on a quality basis. While in Londan last May the writer, in company with a leading jobber, saw in a fruiterer's window Oregon Spitzenburgs and New Brunswick Ben Davis, offered at 9d. per lb., the contrast was amazing and the opinion of the British jobber was that one represented a value of 4d.. and the other 2 shillings by comparison. We wonder how long the British fruit dealers will stand to be instructed in the running of their business,, '^m Winnipeg Winnipeg, Sept. 17—A very fine straight car of peaches was received from the Penticton growers this week an unusual thing to receive a full car of peaches from B. C. These ar-, rived in fine condition, Elbertas and' Crawforote, and compared- favorably with anything received from Washing ton this year. The consignee was very well pleased with them. We are receiving a very poor lot of apples from B. C. at the present time, mostly in crates, and if any marked No. 1 have been shipped 1 have not seen them. A car of barrel and crate apples from Ontario, containing Jen- ettings, Colverts and Duchess, with some Wealthy, domestic brand, being the best apple here this season. Pears are scarce and dear; one fult car B. C, prunes arrived yesterday to a bro- ker but has not been sold yet. While there are still some complaints of I sugar shortage the worst of it is over so that the B. C. prunes and Hyslop crabs should not be handicapped by this condition. Quite a few cars of -Ontario grapes are moving. Tomatoes Toms are rising in price, but the quality is not improving; some better late sorts are needed. Vegetable prising in the Okanagan needs considerable jerking up, especially toms, corn, cabbage and cukes. The prairie provinces can grow good corn. More onions better grown should prove profitable. Less acreage in cukes and toms would also be good policy unless unseen demand should come. ONE-MILE^-ROAD WILL BE A MAGNIFICENT HIGHWAY lake the survey f olldws at the foot of a mountain, on the s'des or which are immense rock slides. Cribbing is being built along the water's edge and filled in behind with rock from these slides. It has been the object of the engineers to build this section of th-3 highway in such a manner as to disturb the rock slides as little as possible, as they have long since created their oWn slope, and should not again slide sufficiently to cause much, if any, trouble. It.is possible that there will be a few small slides next spring, but these are anticipated and when cleared away will probably not cause any future disturbance. The route of this new cut-off road that is being built by the provincial (government leaves the Merritt-Prince ton highway 'at a point near the Aspen Grove post office and follows the route of One-Mile creek, passing through a beautifuj. park-like country filled with rollingmills and dotted with pretty lakes. The average elevation is about 3500 feet. There are no heavy grades on the route and the road bed will be one of the best to be found anywhere, as tne rock and earth formations are especially adaptable to road building. The Merritt board of trade was especially interested in securing the construction of this cut-off road, and plans are now underway for an ex- * cursion of members of the board to the road camps In the near future to view the progress that is being made. It is a trip well worth taking and will give the business men of this city an idea of the possibilities of a great new country that is being opened up tributary to this city. Might Be Lonely "Look here, now, Harold," said father to his little son, who was naughty, "if you don't say your prayers you won't go to heaven." . "I don't want to go to heaven," sobbed the boy, "I want to go wfth yom and mother." .':,.'.. i.i.i.- Merritt—The One-Mile road to shor ten thVdistance between Merritt and Princeton will be a magnificent highway when it is completed and will p'ass through one of the-most picturesque sections, of the interior. A representative of the Herald visited the road camps on Monday in. company with Assistant Engineer G. C. Mac- Kay, and found that good progress was being made in construction. At the present time work is in progress at probably what is the most difficult point on the entire route. For a distance of about a mile along a pretty PRINCETON ASSESSMENT DISTRICT^ I HEREBY GIVE NOTICE that on Thursday, the 9th day of October, 1919, at the ttour c 2 p.m. at the Court House, Princeton, I will sell at public auction the lands on the list hereinafter set out, of the persona in said list hereinafter set out, for delinquent taxes unpaid by said persons on the Slat day of'December, WIS, and for interest, costs and expenses, including the costs of advertising said sale, if the total.amount due for period ending December 31st, 1917, is not sooner paid. *&& l|||i ~~ .

They were just brought in off the range and were in fine condition. o * • The Women's Missionary Society of the Methodist church held its regular meeting at the home of Mrs. N. J. (Beckett on Thursday afternoon of last week. The president, Mrs. M. Peel, handed in her resignation as she expects to move to Penticton in the near future. Regrets were* expressed by the members that the society was, losing its beloved leader. Mrs. F. M. Wright, the vice-president, was elected president. Tea and cake was served by the hostess. # * * As ope of the boys of the neighborhood was fishing on the banks of the river recently he d. covered the dead body of a little child hanging on a branch of one of the bushes. This is the third of the Ga'ar family to be found, and only one of the bodies is now missing. * * » Mr. G. Keeler is having a garage built next his feed store, and expects to place a competent auto repairer in charge of the shop. Cars are becom- ing'so numerous in the valley that no doubt there will be plenty of work for two shops. Mr. Keeler is the local agent for the Chevrolet and will be prepared to do repaifs for his customers. » * • As Mr. Birnie -was driving to Penticton on Sunday morning he met a rig at Olalla and stopped near the edge of the bank. While the auto was still the side of the road suddenly slid out letting it turn upside down. Fortunately none of the occupants was injured, and help was soon secured and the car righted with very little harm done except the inconvenience of de- day. |3|2 * * » Several new families have recently moved into the valley, among whom are the Empeys from Armstrong, and the Wooliams from the Coast. It is very difficult for newcomers to secure accommodation on account of the scarcity of houses in town. If some enterprising citizen had some money to invest in residences just now, no jdoubt there would be good returns on the investment. Improvements are coming gradually, and the next thing we know we shall have electric light, water system, and all the improve ments of modern civilization. It is expected that new additions are to be built to the schools both at Ketfemeos and Cawston, also a residence for the principal here at Keremeos. * * » Our local architects, Messrs. Mal- loy and Wright are very busy trying to keep-up with the demand for new buildings. * # # Mr. and Mrs. F. Gibson and family motored over from Pentictqn for the week-end. * * # Rev. Moody, of Princeton, was in town for a few day calling on old friends. * * * Tomatoes are ripening slowly on ac count of the cool weather recently, but no frost is reported as yet, so it is hoped that a good crop will yet be harvested. About 20 per cent, of the apple crop was blown off the trees by the high winds Thursday and Friday. » * * Mr. Moffatt and party from Oregon, spent Sunday camping in the town. They have af large louring car and are travelling through some' of our valleys and those across the line, having spent about 22 days already on their trip, camping in the open when the weather is fine and stopping at hotels at other times. * * * On Monday evening, September 22, about twenty of the leading citizens met in Coleman's hall, for'the purpose of considering the advisability of-organizing a local board of trade. Mr. Alex Morrison in a few well chosen words explained to those present the purpose of the meeting. On motion of H. Tidy, seconded by Mr. Frith, Mr. Morrison was elected chairman. Mr. Frith then made a motion, seconded by G. B. Clark, that a board of trade be organized. This was carried unanimously. Officers were elected by ballot as follows: President, R. G. Clark, vice-president, E. Corbetts; secretary, Harry Etches; treasurer Mr. Frith. -On motion of G. B. Clark, seconded by O. Carle, it was decided to elect a council of five to act with the executive. Several names were nominated. The chairman appointed F. Smith, H. Tidy and Mr. Towell scrutineers. The first ballot resulted in the election of H. B. Armstrong, L. Patten, T. Daly and A..E. East, while J. J. Armstrong and W. G. Mattice were tied. A second ballot being taken, J. J. Armstrong was elected as the fifth member of the council.- After the president had taken the chair and called for further suggestions as to business Mr. Morrison drew the attention of the meeting to the advantages of the organization, also to the fact that about forty members of the Vancouver Board of Trade, would be passing' through this valley on or a- bout October 10, tand that they should be entertained and shown through the valley. He also drew attention to the necessity of working for the building of the proposed tranprovincial wagon road over the Hope mountain. Short speeches were made by H. Tidy, G. B. Clark, 0. H. Carle and others regarding the need of advertising the valley and getting decent railway accommodation, etc. On motion of E. ICorbett, seconded by G. B. Clark, it was decided' to invite the visiting members of the Vancouver board of trade to a luncheon, also to prepare a small exhibir of the products of the valley for the entertainment of the visitors. It was decided on motion of Mr. Frith, seconded by G. B. Clark, that an invitation be extended to the Princeton board of trade, who,were escorting the visitors from Vancouver also to partake of the luncheon. A committee composed of the council and executive were elected on motion of G. B. Clark, seconded by P. Smith to draft out a constitution and bylaws and present them at the next meeting. The meeting then adjourned to meet on'Monday night next; Sept. 29. recently given with an aggregate value of $60,000. These are in addition to all other deals recently referred to in the Gazette, and if consummated, as expected, will make a total of 457 acres, representing an aggregate of $120,000, which will have transferred within the past month. The Gazette is .not at liberty to give details of th& negotiations now under way, though they involve some record prices for Grand Forks farm lands. It is also a significant fact that in each case the prospective buyer had fir.st visited the various agricultural sections of the Okanagan valley and was quick to recognize the attractives values offered here as compared with the Okanagan. . one of apples have gone, over the same line today, and three additional cars were shipped via the Great Northern. Inspector Thomas Symes estimates that fruit shipments of the val- let this year will reach at least 100 carloads. j _'iu mi'.ii.ii'.h BIG 'BACCY CROP BASEBALL AT OROVILLE Big Tournament Scheduled for This Week-end OroVille— The proposed baseball tournament is to be held on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 27 and 28. It is now pretty definitely settled that-the contending clubs will represent Prince ton, by (he Allenby nine, Penticton, Keremeos, Okanogan vand Oroville. Several of these clubsv are in a class above the average amateur organizations and it is safe to promise a series of contests that will be full of interest and excitement. ©roville has raisejd the funds to meet the expense and the purses are of a size that will fully recompense the winners for coming. If the weather is favorable, and every sign points to perfect weather at this time, it is anticipated that there will ,be the largest crowd present that has ever witnessed ball games in the county. Large delegations Can be expected from the British Columbia towns, where great interest has been aroused in baseball, and the towns of the valley will send large contingents to help swell the crowd. Purses will not be confined to club performance, as plans are formulating to give prizes to individual players who may excell in certain points in the game. The -tournament will make a grand ending to the ball season which practically closed in the valley in July. Kelowna Production Will Run Over 120,000 Pounds Kelowna—The harvesting of the largest crop of tobacco ever grown in the Kelowna district was safely concluded this week: , j The total output from all sources will reach^ 120,000 lbs., and without exception is of a very high standard of quality. About a third of this total crop was taken from the thirty acres of the Dickson ranch and grown by Mr. L. Holman, who, in fact, superintended to a large extent the growing of the rest. To this balance the farms of A. and C. Casorso, Mcrfacherp.r'A. Pa Davy and Col. Perry have all contributed excellent crops. Conditions generally throughout the season have been very favorable to tobacco growing, though possibly not quite so much so as last year, and there is no doubt that once growers realize the profitable nature of the crop, the output of the weed will increase. ^isCfe All the crop, which is larger by 20,- 000 lbs. than has ever been grown here before, is contracted for by Mr. J. Bruce Payne', the well known tobac co man of Granby, Quebec.

The nursery work will be in charge of Mr. R. G. Simpson. It is intended to have all varieties of fruit trees, etc., ready for the soldiers when they go on their farms. The establishment of a nursery right on the ground is expected to save a lot of time in tree planting, and will also guarantee that the trees are true to name. ,'■''%*'**?;■ Big Deals in Land Grand Forks — Approximately 175 acres of Grand Forks valley farm lands are involved in several options Grand /Forks "Fruit Grand Forks—Forty-three carloads of fruit have been shipepd from Grand Forks this season to date, exclusive of express shipments, which would a- mount to several additional cars. Up to last night shipping over the C.P.H. included 21 cars of prunes; 9 cars of apples, 1 car of plums, and 6 cars of mixed fruit. Two cars of prunes .and (Labor shortage is threatening ^ to delay the development work on the soldier settlement tract, according to citizens who have recently visited the Griffin camps. Although Vancouver holds hundreds, perhaps thousands of men out of work, it seems impossible to get them up here where employment awaits. Out of the ^ast 106 men sent from the government employment office to the .Southern Okanagan ditch contract only five arrived. The Griffins are said to have a standing order for forty men which is never filled. Col. A. E. Griffin has now gone to the Coast in order to ascertain the chancesr-for increasing the labor supply. Up to the present employment on the work has practically been confined to returned soldiers, but if the existing shortage keeps up some other arrangement may be necessary. The Griffin concern has- just been awarded the contract for lining the big pitches with concrete. A car of dement has arrived and the cement plant will be here shortly. Work will be started next week on digging a big sub-njain on the west | side of the river. It will be about four miles long. On the main ditch at the south camp the gangs have one mile of ditch practically completed insofar as excavating is concerned, while a second niile is rough finished. North of the river about three-quarters of a mile of ditching has been done. At the north camp tne steam shovel has excavated about three-quarters of > a mile through very stony heavy digging which has necessitated frequent repairs to the shovel. Next month it is intended to start on the construction of the dam at the intake on the river near Mclntyre's. A contract will also shortly be let for the syphon just below the Fair- view bridge. A portion of. this will be wood and the remainder concrete. It will be six feet six inches in diameter. scene. The man's sudden cry, the cry for help. His wife knows his peril, and hearing his screams, rushes immediately to the bank. Why does she rush to the bank?" .Whereupon a boy hKthe rear exclaimed, "Why to draw his insurance money." A Natural Inference The teacher was trying to convey an idea of devotion to the members of her class. "iNow suppose," she said, "a man working on the river bank suddenly fell in. He could not swim, and would be in danger of drowning. Picture the British Fruit (Buyers Coming to Valley iSummerland—Of interest to fruit men is the announcement of the coming to the Okanagan this month of Mr. C. Simons, of the well known British fruit concern, Garcia Jacobs & ICo., Ltd., or London, Liverpool and Glasgow.-Mr. Simons has been visiting California, Oregon and Washington in the interests of>h*is firm. Other English fruit men coming to this province are: Mr. A. Aldridge, representing MoGeorge & Jardine, fruit importers, Temple Court, Liverpool, and Mr. Wilshen, representing a large London house.
