I ITHE PRINCElrON STA Published in the Interests of Mining a^p Agriculture in the Similkameen Twenty-Sixth Year—No. '42'' PRINCETON, B. C, THURSD^ SEPTEMBER 3* 1925 PER YEAR: Sa.oo Cub , Single Copy SC. Regrettable Incidents Mars Baseball Game PENTICTON PITCHER BREAKS HIS ARM WHEN EXTENDING HIMSELF IN THE EIGHTH INNINGS IN SUNDAY'S GAME Pitching winning ball and extending himself to maintain a one run lead, Lockwood of Pentieton snapped his arm in the eighth, innings of a very excit*'ng ball game here Sunday afternoon. The misfortune lost for the visitors a good chance of winning the game, as Vic De Beck, ..who replaced him on the fixing line was' in no form to deliver the goods, and, after passing two men, allowed a hit that scored the winning runs. The game throughout was not a high class exhibitio-n*._of ball but it was a contest that kept the fans right on their * toes from the beginning to the end. Frank Lawney of Coalmont gave pretty general satisfaction as umpire. He allowed some pretty high one to go as strikes, but that was perhaps the way they looked to him' 'from his own' lofty elevation of rsix feet plus. Prihcetdn blanked the visitors in the opening inning and, on errors got a run over v themselves. Pentieton came back w;th a brace in the second on several ghastly errors on the part of the Princeton catcher. A hit by Prest, who stole second and third, and a fumble of Lind's grounder enabled Princeton to even the score in their half. In the third only 3 Pentieton players faced the pitSner, the side being retired on an infield grounder, an outfield fly and an infield pop. Princeton added another in this frame when Edwards was safe on second on an overthrow to first, and later crossed the plate on errors by] the visiting team. In tlie opening half of the fourth inning the visitors' scored twice and established a one-run lead, when the first two up hit safely; oparks fumbled a difficult grounder and 'Daddy" Wright hugged the ball in the right field long enough; Co, allow a run to come in. Princeton not only evened the score in their half but added four more for good measure! Bobby McKinnon, first up, was thrown out " at first—-one ■ down.-' Prest—was- * safe' on the first baseman's muff. Lind fanned—two down. Wright hit to right f-eld scoring Prest. Edwards was afe on first. Sparks' hit scored two, and he himself crossed the plate on the left fielder's fumble of Allen's high fly, Allen going to second and scoring when the Pentieton catcher muffed the third strike on Thomas and followed it up with a bum heave to first. Smith fanned—5 runs. Pour hits netted Pentieton 3 runs in the fiftn innings, placing them only one run down. Prinpoton, however, added aSotEer in their half, when with -McKinnon safe on firat Prest hit for two bases and was out trying to make third. Score, Prince-| ton 9, Pentieton 7. In the sixth innings, with two Pentieton players down, Lind muffed t. fly to centre field. Three h^ts and s dribble to third, which Sparks failed to handle in time, netted Pentieton 3 runs and put them in the lead by one run: Prr.ncetbft railed to register, in their half; Edwards and Sparks fanned and Allen popped out. Score Pentieton 10, Princeton 9. Neither team "scored in the seventh; though both v/ere dangerous. With the first,Pentieton batter'down, Prest to 1st, Allen failed to handle c twister to second and the runner was safe J He stole 2nd and advanced to 3rd on the overthrow. • With one down and a man on third it looked as if Pentieton might increase their lead, but Prest was equal to the occasioD fanning the next batter and causing the third to pop out to the catcher. The second half- of the iinnihgs opened favorably for Princeton. Thomas was safe on the pitcher's fumble. Doc Smith sent a, sizzler between, first and second and the runners advanced to second and third on a> passed ball, none out. It was then Lock- wood proved what^he was* capable of by- striking out M'cKlnnon, Prest and Lind in a ro.w. It jp*as a difficult hole to work out of but he did it. In the opening half of: the eighth Pentieton failed to get a man to first. Two weak infield grounders.and a pop fly retired the side. Princeton again threatened to even the score in their | half, when after Wright had fanned, Edwards was hit by a p'tched ball. He stole second and a hit would bring in the tying score. Lockwood) faced the batter; flexed the muscles of his arm to deliver the ball but evidently put so much into it that the bone could not stand the strain and snapped like a dry twig about midway between the elbow and shoulder. Dr. Lee Smith, *wno was playing first base for the home team, immediately took the injured player to the hospital "to have the broken bone set. Melville Waddell took his place on first and Vic DeBeck was taken from second to fill Lockwood's place in the box. Without any recent practise in the position, or without an opportunity to* warm up, -he was -wild .and passed the first two men up, filling the bases. A passed ball permitted the evening score to trickle in and, BURNING OF 0|M| CANNERY BENEFITS ANOTHER Kamloops.—It's an 111 wind that blows nobody good. -Aatk the burning down of the National-Cannery at Vancouver that concern had to turn round*and ask its smaller competitor, the Kamloops Cannery, to can the 180 acres of tomatoesMt had contracted for in this district. It is this stroke of business that is making the .Ideal plant look forward to the busiest season in its history, already .forecast before the blaze at the coast, out with still an element of doubt In it, being dependent on the weather. There are now employed at the I Kamloops" Cannery upwards of one [hundred. Seventy per cent, are 'White, the remaining Chinese. Most of them are of this city; some came from Vancouver. They are working on piece work, 7c a. bucket. The majority^ are earning good wages. The company is installing new machinery to cope with the increased orders. A continuous cooker, which takes care of 1008 cans a. minue, and two new model filling machines with a capacity of 140 cans a minute are being added. These are the property of the National Cannery, but the Kami- loops Cannery has taken an option on them. "Altogether," says Manager C. F. Bickford, "we have «high hopes that we can can 80,000 cases this season." Find Large Ore Body Near Allison Pass LOCATORS DESCRIBE IT AS IMMENSE REEF OF COMPLEX ORE CONTAINING AT LEAST A DOZEN DIFFERENT METALS Hedley Couple Receive Minor "Gun-shot Wounds ILL FEELING LEADS TO*USE OF SHOOTING IRON—FINE OF $25 AND COSTS IS IMPOSED BY COURT 111 feeling and quarrels which had existed apparently for some time culminated in a shooting affair at Hedley last Thursday evening, in which both Thomas Willey and his wife received minor gun-shot wounds, from a. weapon in the hands of J. Dery. The; shooting toopt ...place near the home of Dery and followed an en- [counter between the two men. Willey received a slight wound in the leg, and Mrs. Willey, who appeared on the scene when the shooting started was hi.fc twice—once in the w.rist and once in the shoulder. A call for police was immediately turned in both to Princeton and Hedley. Constable Spall was the first to arrive, and as Hedley lies within his territory, he took Dery, who offered no | •resistance, to the lock-up at Kere- i metis. Constable Foote, accompanied J by Constable Badman, who also hap- pended to be in Princeton at the time, went down upon receipt of the call, but their services were not required. The case came up for hearing at Hedley on Wednesday before Stipen- d',ar Magistrate Pope of Pentieton and Justipe of the Peace Campbell of Keremeos. Chief Fraser conducted the prosecution and M. M. Colquhoutt of Pentieton appeared for the defendant. A fine of $25 and costs was imposed. Just about a year ago now while prospecting in the vicinity of the A11"H sos Pass, a Keremeos party consisting of Charley Richter and Mr. Wads- worth and son, struck a very large and promising reef of h'ghly. mineralized ore.. They had only time on that trip for a superficial examination and to collect a few samples for purposes of assay. The returns they received from these samples indicated, that while the -ore did not run high it was of an unusually complex nature, containing at least twelve or more differ^ ent metals. They arranged to make a more thorough examination of the property' this season and, accompanied by Steve Mangott, have been spending the last six weeks* on the property running cross-cuts at various placed The result of the work done has convinced them that they have struck It b*'g. The "reef," as-.tngy describe it, is very wide and can be readily traced for a long dfstance across country. Throughout it is highly mini finalized, and, in places, shows arsenical ore similar to that of the Nickel Plate. The locators of. the property came int,o town yesterday and after spend-] ing the day here left again for their camp this morning accompanied by District Mining Engineer FreeTandV whose report on the find will be awaited with considerable interest.

Later he had a serious illness and spent a, considerable time in hospital and sanitarium, in California. He has now convalesced sufficently to be a.ble to assume duties of a not too exacting! nature. , COALMONT BANK NOW ROYAL! As a result of the recent merger, what was formeny the TJfiion Bank at Coalmont on Tuesday assumed the name of the Royal. There will be no change in the personnel of tbe staff> but Manager Colin Malcolm and his assistant will be kept busy for a time] adapting themselves to the change in system that is entailed. Seven employees of the -Allenby Copper Company, all filling important pos:tions at the'mill and mine, v/ere required to return to the States lastj week pending some arrangements with the immigration authorities; They left via the G. N. for Oroville on Friday. Four of them haye since returned and resumed their duties. (Continued on page four.) Pentieton.—Mrs. W. J. Thompson, of Green Mountain met with a very [serious accident' last Saturday when she fell from a load of hay onto the ground, breaking two ribs 'near the spine and bruising her considerably. JMrs. Thompson had gone to meet her husband, who was returning to the ranch w*th a load of hay, and had climbed to, the top of the load. In some manner she lost her footing and was precipitated to the ground. At first, it was believed that she had broken her back but on the arrival of Dr. McGregor it was found that fractures were sustained on two of the^ ribs. Mrs. Thompson had to be transported to the road, a distance of about a mile over a rough path, by stretcher, a very painful process. She ?s now in the Pentieton Hospital where she is progressing very well. Merritt, Aug. 28.—Among the prominent visitors to Merritt this week were Ceph. B. Salesbury, manager of the Outing Bureau of Southern California witjh heacSquarteTs alt Los Angeles, Cal. Mr. Salesbury was accompanied by Mr. J. B. Roberts, towing manager of the same bureau. These gentlemen were motoring from Los Angeles to Prince George, B.C., and the object of the trip was -whollyMo- secure-first' hand inform-as1 tion of this great north country, and as Mr. Saiesbury'si associatiion are the publishers of Motor Magazine, he intends on his return to write a series of descriptive articles covering the present trip. While in ths city the gentlemen were enetrtained by Mr. G. B. Armstrong, president of the Great North Road Highway Association who has promised to secure for Mr. Salesbury photographs of all the lakes and points of interest to tourists throughout th's district as well as furnish a short description of same to be embodied in the write-up Mr. Salesbury will give this district. The Outing Bureau recently issued one of the -finest maps we have - had the pleasure to see. This, map: shows the route from Los Angeles to Pr'nce George in the Cariboo and from the time the tourist leaves Wenatchee he is directed the Similkameen on down through Merritt in the Nicola Valley then on through Ashcroft to the Cariboo. Mr. Saleibury predicts a great many tourists from his home state along this route during the season of 1926. The building of the new block, which is now under way on the property immediately adjoining the presents? location of our fire bell tower, bafry rendered it necessary to seek a new location for the latter, and has brought the question of better means of^ire protection once more prominent before the citizens. fT.a meeting of the board of trade on Monday evening it was de- cKM^.'that the matter was one in wMtlh all residents are interested and1 tli-afe. the proper method of dealing witir(he question would be at a pnbiiej meeting. This is to be held in the dining room, of the Hotel Princeton tomorrow (Friday) evening at 8 o'clock. Djacussion of fire protection- Is almost sure to bring up renewed dis- cusston of village incorporation, as in ays minds of many citizens it appears" to be the only satisfactory solu- tioafof the matter. Others have different opinions Jn respect to the raisin g:.of the necessary funds. It is up to (^ery citizen who has the welfare of we town at heart to turn out and assist-Lin arriving at some immediate andjSfefficient method of protection. We Save been fortunate in- the past but%iat is no reason why we should not fjrepare for the future. GRANBY'CtoWPANY CONCENTRATE ON PRODUCTION FOUjR BALL TEAMS TO COMPETE AT HEDLEY Baseball ^romiaes* to be the big dravfing card-at the Labor Day sports to be;; held at Hedley on Monday. When, the programs were printed it was lexpected that only, teams from Kereineos,- Hedley and Princeton wouldr compete. Now arrangements have sheen" made for Coalmont to send a .■-.team! Th's will round out the competition and .provide three games, the first of which is called for 10:30 a.m.' .-f.The/ second game will be called fori?', o'clock. These will be 7 innings;, each, with a full P-innings game •fofe&ffgj&nal if-4ime~perEiifcs.-—-—,m In addition to the baseball there is a good program of- athletic events for old and young; a good picture show ,-n Fraser's Hall in the early evening; and to wind up the celebration a big dance in Shatford's Hall at which all a.re assured a good time. FINED $25 FOR REFUSING TO FIGHT FOR.IST FIRES The Native Sons of British Columbia are planning to celebrate the birthday oft he province **on Novem> ber 19. The date is to be known as "Douglas Day" in honor of the "Father of British Columbia." Grand Forks, Aug. 28.—George Brown was fined $25 and costs by [Magistrate McCallum in police court | last Saturday mo'nrng on a charge of having refused to continue to fight forest fires,..which is contrary to law. Prosecution was-taken by the forestry, department. The evidence of OhariBe Ferraro, foreman in charge of the fire at Heoniger camp in July 15, was that Brown had quit, although urged to remain because of the seriousness of the fire, aaid that apparently because BrowsaiWas leaving several others who had come with him also quit. Brown's defenses/was that he v/as exhausted and all in; that the food was very unsatisfactory, having lived for a considerable period on hard bread and bacon, and for seven hours they were without drink of any kind; he also claimed that when he told Foreman Ferraro that, he was going to quit Mr. Farra.ro had taken no objection. Farm Buildings Burn While Ranchers Sleep AWAKE IN MORNING AND Fjfen* BARN CONTAINING THJfEE CO.vTS' AND QUANTITY OF POULTRY DE8TROYED Robert Taylor suffered loss-which he estimates at $800 on Friday night last when a barn on his property a mile and a half east of town was destroyed by fire. The portion of the ranch on which tne building was located has been occupied for some time by Clarence Suggitit and Art Nevins for dairying purposes. The cause of the fire is unknown. Everything appeared as usual the h'ght before, but when the occupants of the house woke in the morning fire had made a clean sweep of the' barn, destroying with it two cows belonging to Taylor and one cow and a quantity of poultry oelonging to the Jenants. Several horses that were in the stable broke their halters and escaped. A number of cows were in a corral close to the burnt building; and must have raised quite a clamour, but it-slailed, as stated, to awaken the occupants of the house, about 150 yards d'stant. Mr. Taylor is considering re-building in the near future.- Will Not Affect the Beer Situation Here PRINCETON'S CLAIM TO BEER PARLORS NOT DEPENDENT UPON PLEBISCITE SAYS ATTOR- NEY-GENERAL MANSON Coalmont Juniors defeated Merrttl? in baseball at Coalmont on Sunday by a score ot 12to 10. "The gates were never as wide ajar as they are now in respect to bee'i*!* licenses for the Princeton district," stated Hon. A. M. Manson, to one of the leading Liberals of Princeton at Hedley last Thursday- evening. Mr. Manson as Provincial Grand Master of the Masonic Order: was attending a joint meeting, of the Princeton and Hedley lodges, fet Hedley, on that date*-—- He further stated that the new order-in-council in respect / to beer licenses was not framed to annul the clause in the act which provides that licenses may be granted to wet districts in dry ridings. He was informed of the conditions existing in the Similkameen electoral district and recognized' the claims of the Princeton portion of the riding. On his return to the coast he wpuld go into the matter with Mr. Davidson, the liquor commissioner, and gave the impression that definite action m'ght be expected in the not distant future. Pentieton.—<The government are taleing steps to improve the road to Keremeos running tn-rough. the Indian Reserve, by blasting away the rock point along Shingle creek. The Anyox plant of the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Co., Ltd., is operating to capacity, andV a record copper productidn has been made during the past few months was the statement made to the He? aid a few days ago by Mr. J. B. Haff- ner, assistant general manager. Mr. Haffner said that no new work was being contemplated* at the Anyox plant by the company, but all energies will be directed'/towards producing copper. The concentrating mill was giving satisfaction and handling between 1200 and 1300 tons of ore per day. A surplus of ore was being accumulated at the Outsider mine at Maple Bay, now that an abundance of hydroelectric power was available. This reserve will probably be drawn upon during the wintej, when power, is not so abundant. Regarding development of the Bonanza property, he stated that the company would not undertake development this. year. Dr. J. Bancroft, who arrived from McGill University recently, would spend considerable time examin:ng the Hidden Creek and Outsider mines, and other properties which may appeal to the company.. Last year the big plant was operated continuously throughout the year, and up to present the same happy condition has prevailed during! 1925.—Anyox Herald. Workman at Allenby Loses His Left Hand JOHN CUMMINGS OF. PRINCETON IS VICTIM OF THE FIRST ACCIDENT AT BIG CONCENTRATING kikliANT The first accident to occur at the concentrating mill at Allenby under the present management happened last Friday to John Cumlning, who, [with his wife, has been a resident of Princeton for some years, i : It appears' that he was standing •with his left hans; resting on the rail that carries a big crane weighing about 5 tons, and; with the noise fronr the • operating^'machinery failed to notice the approach of the crane until it had passed over his hand, crutshing it so that amputation at the Wrrst was necessary. He was immediately brought to the Princeton Hospital where the wound waarattended to and he:is reported to be doing n-leely. FINAL TRAP SHOOT HERE The final trap shoot for the season for* possession of the Shatford Cup will be held on Sunday, Sept. 13, in Pr'nceton. Realizing that it-^would be a long trip for the Keremeos team to go to Blakeburn, the team of that town have generously waived their claim to having the shoot held there Til favor of Princeton with its more central location. As an encouragement to all members of the competing clubs it is proposed to allow as many members, as wish to enter, to compete in the final The winning club to be determined by the five highest scores made by each. WOMENT WANTED AT KEREMEOS Mr. H. B. Armstrong, manager of the Keremeos Cannery, states that he has not sufficient help to handle the heavy delivery of tomatoes that is being made. Eight or ten more women or girls are urgently needed. There is no difficulty, he states, in respect to securing board and lodging. PRINCESS THEATRE FRIDAY and SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4 and 5 v 8 p. m.

COMEDY "Felix Gets Broadcasted" NEXT WEEK SEPTEMBER 11 and 12 111 LORD : CHUMLEY" Pentieton People Reap Substantial Fortunes \'a SALE OF THE "SALLY" GROUP TO GUGGENHEIM INTERESTS WILL PUT MANY«SHAREJtfOLDERS ON EASY STREET' Pentieton, August 27.—Modest fortunes will be made by .citizens of Pentieton and Beaverdell through the sale, under an option bond, of the Wallace Mountain Mines, Limited, owners of the "Sally" group of thirteen silver claims on Wallace Mountain, to the Guggenheim interests, represented by the Federal Mining & Smelting Company, for the sum of approximately half a million dollars, .representing' about $50 per share for the capitalization of the company of 10,000 shares originally purchased at a par value of one dollar. The' conclusion of the deal was announced by H. B. Morley, managing director, today. To Erect Concentrator Tlir Federal interest assume control of the property on September 1, with the privilege of exercising their option later, but there is no*** doubt but that the deal will be fully completed. This company already has a number of claims on Wallace Mountain, and there is some talk of their establishing a concentrator, although there is, as yet no important -juan- tity of low grade ore on the hill, prj- cu<ir.g mines being able to ship ;be whole of their ore after sorting. Profitabl-j Property The Sally group has, the last few years, been one Of the most proi'.t- able mining ventures in the province, the company last year paying dividends in the neighborhood of 500*%. The latest car of ore shipped assayed over 600 jounces of silver to; the ton. Old Claims The i claims were originally staked and worked twenty-rr^e years ago by the late Robert Wood and his associates, but little progress was made in coping with insufficient capital and lack of transportation. About seven years:- ago. the company was taken over almost entirely by Pentieton citizens who had faith in its future.- ' Even then difficulties were j-wany and much of the stock changed hands for trifling sums. ' Only, during the last few years has the property justified the claims of its promoters. Today some citizens who stayed with the property through all its difficulties w'ill net anywhere from $25,000 to .$80,000, besides the big dividends of _the last year or two, as reward for their faith. Expect Rush There was a bu?z of excitement around town yesterday when it became known that ttre deal.was well under way and. would go through. Citizens who turned down opportUB*- ities to buy .the stock some years- ago are naturally "tearing their hair,'' whale others iregret parting with their stock at low prices more recentlyi It is reported that some stock was transferred but a short time ago at half the price for which the safe was consummated. There. is generaLsatisfaction, however, that those, who iB-tuck With the property through its difficulties will now reap the benefit. It is generally recognized that the effect will be a: tremendous rush to develop claims on Wallace Mountain and that Beaverdell will probably, become one of the foremost '■•('lining towns of the pSoWs inee. At one time much, of the stock sold as low as 50 cents on the dollar. Will Help Pentieton From' a commercial standpoint, the development of Beaverdell will undoubtedly be of advantage to Pentieton, and local business interests are jalready becomihg energetic in pushing the demand for thtj completion of the Carmi road through to the new mining town. SM a statement, H. B. Morley, man- aging^tife^tor of the Wallace Mountain Mines, Limited, says: "Many difficulties were faced and successfully overcome during the earlier stages, but by the end of 1923, the company, which'had in the mean- tiftre been incorporated under the name of Wallace Mountain Mines, Ltd., was firmly established financially, and had a well-equipped and smoothly operating niine. Probably no mining Ve*^ure in the provittOi'r has been able to present a better record of persistent- effort, careful and economical management and skil- ful' mining. The success of the Sally/ mine; has not been due to luck, but is well deserved! Trie mine superintendent, Mr. * Edward Nordman, has well earned his reputation as a producer' of ore, and the local management may be congratulated upon the manner in which the ousiness of the company has been handled. Those ■who have been-"-fortunate to have share's in the company have now the satisfaction of reaping a generous re- wa*d for patient waiting and steady support of their venture. Grand Forks, Aug. 28.—Andy O. Johnson of.Coalmont,'accompanied by :Albin Nelson; Mrs. Larsen, Miss Larsen arid'Miss Ingen were calling on old friends in and around Grand ■JEpdrks this Week. They' are all old! Phoenix r«sW*«ats and.*were taking a niiotor touf\ going on to Rossland and Trail to call on friends there. THE PRINCETON STAR, PRINCETON, B. C. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 1925 Cbe Iprinceton Star PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT PRINCETON, B.C. J. A. BROWN, Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES British Empire, One Year $ 2.00 Foreign, One Year $2.50 Payable in Advance. THURSDAY .. SEPTEMBER 3, 1925 The Pentieton Herald in. attemp ■'.• ing to condone the action of the management of the Pentieton baseball club in winding up the season without first fulfilling its obligations in, respect to return gajnes with outside to whs, states: "Strong exception is taken to the story from Princeton, printed elsewhere in this issue, criticizing the local baseball management for the alleged reason that the "team did not "show up" for a game in Princeton a few weeks ago. As a matter of fact the local baseball executive state that no game was arranged, Princeton having been informed that the locals would probably play Wenatchee here on that Sunday." The Herald need not go outside its own town to learn from reputable citizens that a return game was arranged with Princeton --Tor Sunday, Aug. 16th, the Sunday following the date of the game with Wenatchee. What is more, the arrangement was confirmed by conversation over the telephone, and we see no reason to retract the statement that it was to the discredit of the management of the Pentieton team that they failed to "show up" *■*«• send word that they were not coming. I§ll§ The fact that the members of the Pentieton team, in the face of strong opposition from the management, exerted themselves to the extent they did to give Princeton a return game, shows that they recognized the ob- ligat-'ote. fflhe management) of the Pentieton team may be able to show a substantial surplus this year but unless they change views in respect to return games they may find it difficult to arrange matches in future. W«S«ie«3i«S«smieS«S«5ti«S«l«SiS«iiii'iil«*i«ii1i«* I The Pedlar's Pack I i 5 By AUTOLYCUS $ ft? "A Snapper up of Unconsidered X S Trifles." M $ X THOSE INVISIBLE COSTS We often hear it said that figures, like photographs, cannot lie. The former remark is sometimes qualified by the cynical addendum that although figures can't lie, liars can. figure, and- this migiit well be amplified by the further observation that statistical enthusiasts can easily blunder. As a matter of fact, both photographs and figures can, and do frequently lie most outrageously wheh improperly handled. Photographic perspectives can be so distorted as to, convey a totally false impression- of the reality, and figures can be so mishandled, erroneously, that they lead to conclusions wnich are positively ludicrous. That 10 per cent annual depreciation, for instance, so glibly and, apparently, so correctly charged against various assets—how does it show up in actual experience I have seen it seriously referred to as a legitimate charge against the life of a piano, with the logical result that in ten years the piano, according to those figures must be valueless. But experience shows that a well-built, properly used piano is in practically as good condition at the end of ten years as it was when new. What has happened to the ten per cent annual depreciation? Such fallacious computation as these are frequently met with, and since practical people know they are wrong, they don't do inuch harm. But when they are applied to important industries . and spread broadcast as reliable facts, it iS" just as well to take notice ofNthem, and controvert the fallacies which underlies them. A gentleman writing from Armstrong (where the celery comes~from!) to the "Daily Province," indulges in some fearful and wonderful calculations, in which the familiar 10 per cent annual shrinkage is aided and abetted by a still more appalling 15 to 20 per cent invisible cost brought about by acts of God and other factors equally impossible to control. These dire calculations are applied to the fruit industry of the Okanagan Valley, and the net result appears to be that the misguided people who are engaged therein are living in a fools' paradise, since their capital is vanishing before their very eyes at the rate of 10 per cen per annum. In fact, those among-them whose trees have been bearing for anything like ten years have now practically nothing *eft since their orchards are exhausted! That inexorable ten per cent has statistically wiped their trees off the face of the earth, and if these growers persist in gathering apples in the years to come they are simply flying In the face of figures which cannot lie. It is a sad state of affairs, and we can hardly wonder that, on tne Armstrong gentleman's own personal confession, the mere sight of a fruit tree gives him a pain. That would be the perfectly natural effect on a individual who can see nothing ahead but "the gradual extinction of the fruit industry through the slow ruin of individuals." It is only fair to recall that the Armstrong statistician has a remedy to propose. It is a -real remedy," too, according to its proposer. All that is necessary is for the government to take control anr prohibit any further planting oy individuals. This is to be followed up by a "closing down and sorting out" of three- quarters of the existing acreage and concentrating on the remaining quarter. The greatly increased production per acre which v/ould naturally follow from government monopaly (?) would more than suffice for the requirements of the markets, and the government investment in irrigation could be saved. Not only that, but 'part of the capital sunk in orchards" could also be redeemed. Our critic does not say what is to become of the unfortunates who have the seventy-five per cent of acreage "closed down" by the government, but maybe he proposes to write their proportion off to "profit and loss." That would at least be on a level with the 10 per cent annual depreciation! ■ 0 0 » APPLE CIDER V. SYNTHETICS I fear that Mr. J. A. Grant will get himself seriously disliked by the prohibitionist element if he doesn't take care. Of course all reasonable people will endorse his sensible remarks concerning the unfortunate condition of affairs which puts*" a ban on real apple cider and encourage the saje of synthet'c stuff, and probably he will be satisfied with that. Nevertheless he v/ill have to count on the virtuous disapproval of the "unco guid" people who frown on any beverage likely :to make glad the heart of man,, and wouid rather admit any sickly, poisonous- concoctions which come under the generic title of "temperance" drinks. One reference in the Grant bulletin which should be of special Interest to the general public is that concerning) a certain Drug Act, which was apparently stifled at birth some years ago. Any mesure which would force the manufacturers of synthetic drinks to publish their constituent ingredients ought to be valuable as a measure of protection to a trusting public, even though considerable disillusion would result! It might not be particularly comforting to find that the beverage which had been guilelessly accepted as products of lemons, oranges, pineapples or what not, were not even d-stantly connected with those wholesome fruits, but the realization would at last be put plainly before those chiefly interested. Mr. Grant naturally looks upon the subject from the point of view of the orchardist, and he is fully justified. It is a sheer absurdity that the making of cider is restricted to the, limit automatically imposed under existing conditions. A law which forbids a maker of cider to keep that product long enough for it to mature, but forces him to drink it forthwith or throw it away, is unreasonable. If it comes to that, cider v/hich is not matured is not cider at all, but simply apple juice.

JOHN McKELLAR DROPS DEAD REGRETTABLE INCIDENT MARS BASEBALL GAME ^'^fCOBtfnued from page one.) a hit by Waddell placed,Princeton 2 runs to the good. Beck, a southpaw from OroyJIle, replaced De Beck and retired the side without further scoring. Pentieton was unable to connect with the ball in their half of the ninth. An infield grounder and pop fly retired the first two up and Prest finished the game by -striking out the last^nian. Score Printpeton 12, Pentieton 'TTC.V It is only justice to the Pentieton players to state that "they played the game under a considerable handicap. Some weeks ago the management of their team declared the baseball season ended for the year; closed their bo-oks*,""whlch'ahbwed a very satisfactory surplus for the season and stored away the suits and equipment. That they owed games to several towns, Princeton included,. made no difference to the management. But ijtv<9ld to the players who were bent on filing their obligations in the way of return games. In order for them to give Princeton a return match they mustered the best team they could and borrowed suits from Summerland? finable to get the use of their own bats, gloves, mitts, etc., they were forced to use those belonging to the Princeton team, and any baseball-fan will concede that was a J)ig handicap. That errors were numerous and accounted for most of the Bj5ioceton runs is not to be wondered 'at. Citazens of Princeton appreciate the sporty action of the Pentieton''team culties. They also regret sincerely the misfortune which the Pentieton pitcher met with. This was evidenced by the ready and liberal manner in which everybody contributed when a collection v/as taken up for the benefit- of the injured player. Mention should also be made of the fact that Dr. Lee Smith made no charge for the services he rendered the injured player; a rule which he has always followed *n the case, of persons injured In sports.
