Difficulty in keeping their pack -up to the high standard of quality heretofore maintained, Garage, Princeton Departmental Store, A. L. White, J. L. Coles, have already offered to support teams, and others are expected to line up. The schedule will be anounced next week. Owing to the absence from town of the manager of the Orange Hall trustees' committee, It has been im- jpossible to date to get a contract for the use of the hall, though everything Is ready but the signatures. It is planned to get the parade away next week, when all leagues will get Into action. Princeton folk are promised some really f'ne sport i for ths jiong fall and early winter and loss In the extra handling required.

A defective chimney was the cause. Flames and smoke broke - out In the upper storey of the house and were noticed by Denny Mul- Nlin. An alarm was at once sent In, but by the time the brigade arrived the fire had been nipped, and was smoudering. ..The floor boards when torn up revealed a small hole in the brick chimney, where the fire had started. Damage was practically nil. FEDERAL BY-ELECTIONS PRINCETON BASEBALLERS OFF TO OROVILLE TODAY Princeton baseballers left this morning by car tor Oroville, where they will engage in the tournament under the auspices of the sixth annual Oroville fall fair. They will book up Friday with Pateros, champions of the Okanogan eounty league, while on Saturday they will tangle with Morris Hardware, Chelan county champions. On Sunday the Chelan champs and the Pateros team will meet, giving each team three games. This will officially close the baseball season so far as Princeton is concerned, and the rest of local baseball will be played in the stove league, when the world's series teams go at it next month. In spite of this, Princeton has done some te n building for the event, and will trot out one of the. strongest lineups of the season. They wlll have Richardson, a young right-hander from the coast, who is said to be hot stuff; Jimmy Kernan of Oroville, a veteran who can still turn In a mighty fine game; and Doc Beck, popular Oroville Infielder and hurler. There will also be the usual contingent of Copper Mountain men on the local team. Princeton should line -■up about as follows: Pope, ss; Beck or O'Grady If; Cross, lb; Callahan, 3b or p; W'l son c; Kernan, 2b; Ferko, cf; Noble. rf; K'mberley. p; Beck, por cf; Rich ardson, p; Garrison, utility... Attracts Others The Oroville fair will likely attract a good share of visitors from Princeton, as the event has been widely advertised. The ball tournament will bring three champ ion teams together. There is also a good boxing and wrsetling card. Employment Question Faces Canning Industry of Lower Valley; Send &£>.S. for Help From the lower valley conies a call for help to harvest the fruit crop and further assistance In the tomato canneries ai| both Cawston and Keremeos. At Cawston every available woman and girl has forsaken her household and other duties, for the time being, and taken her place at the peeling table In the cannery. The little community is showing a spirit' of co-operation in producing a creditable tomato pack that is really wonderful and deserving of the very highest commendation. ;sf5?ll Altogether the district planted 125 acres this year, and w.'th the carefully selected and smoothly operated plant installed by the mangement, are in splendid shape to take care I of the crop, only, as explained by S. R. Manery, managing director and processor, they are short handed and require-about seven more women, or girls, as peelers and a few more pickers in the fields. The peelers are paid so much per pan for peeling and the pickers so much per box for plck'ng. Fast workers are said to be able to make between four and five dollars par day. A call for extra help also comes I from Mr. B. C. Armstrong, foreman j of the Dominion Canners' plant at I Keremeos. and, either of the above mentioned gentlemen would be pleas-1 ed to hear from any women or girlsJ in th Princeton district, or the upper valley who are free, and disposed, ] to help out.

The pig-tail of former years Is now replaced by trim bohbed heads. It is a change long urgeu on the mangement of the cannery by residents of the district, and one which it is hoped they will be able to maintain. Residents throughout the valley should lend all the co-operation in their power. Power Dispute Enters Courts, But Status Quo Is Maintained in Meantime CURRENT NOT LIKELY TO BE TURNED OFF, IT IS THOUGHT; GRAND FORKS LAYS WHOLE ISSUE AT FEET OF MINISTER OF LANDS Princeton will again be brought face to face with the incorporation issue. Princeton board of trade, which at its last meeting decided that it was Its rightful place to do so, made plans for the laying of comprehensive data before the ratepayers at an early date, when it held a special meeting In P. W. Gregory's office Friday night. Whatever the verdict this time, the- board is determined that the ratepayers shall, before being asked to decide, be made thoroughly conversant with the subject. The spotlight of investigation will be turned upon it, and the judgment will be conclusive. NOT SPORTSMANSHIP That it Is an imposition on the public spirited men who have given their time and effort to the task of stocking Smelter Lake with fish for anyone to take Out large numbers Is the feeling of not a few local sportsmen. This lake, it ls pointed out, was barren of'fish until three years ago, when local men took It upon themselves to convert it into a possible sporting lake for the future. Several expeditions have since then been organized, when fry-have been carried there and planted. To carry a 150-jound can two miles on a pole resting on the shoulders, and then to have one's work wantonly destroyed, is aggravating. Not only this, but two weeks were spent digging a ditch where the trout could [spawn. ' If given a fair chance, it is said, the fish will adapt themselves to the lake, will breed, and, once started, there is no fear of the lake becoming fished out. But as It is, they are just getting ready to spawn for the first time, and one fish killed nm> will mean thousands ot less eggs for .hatching. A little care now will mean all the difference between success and failure. These men gave their time and effort quite voluntarily in a commendable undertaking, and it is rank bad sportsmanship 'for anyone) to wantonly take advantage of a situa- lon like this. Whether the lake is closed or not cannot be ascertained locally, but whether Illegal or not, it is against all tenets of sportsmanship and common sense to slaughter fish wholesale at this time, as various reports would have us believe is being done. A. P. AUGUSTINE PASSES FIRE ON 8KAGIT A fire of considerable propor- tjiiona Is said to be raging on Muddy Creek, a tributary Of the Skagit. A crew has been sent out from Hope, sixty miles away. A fire Is said to be giving trouble' back of Olalla but Is reported under control. A victim of infantile paralysis, A. P. Auguptine, coal merchant, quite well known in this district, passed away at New Westminster Monday He had handled several coal con tracts for the Granby Company, and had dealings with local coal mines. A civil engineer, he was engaged in that profession in Penticton and Vancouver, and assisted ln laying out the townsite_ of Prince Rupert. pior to the calling of a public meet ing, which meeting will arrange for the plebiscite. It is* desired this-time to take the issue out of any suspicion of private control, and let the public of Princeton grapple with its own problem in an intelligent manner. The committee appointed is: Ed. E. Burr, ex-officio; P. W. Gregory, J. A. Brown, L. A. Dodd, G. Prideaux, Perley Russell, and H. B. Meausette. It was suggested they form a number of sub-committees dividing the work accordingly. Their purpose is to gather all available information on incorporation: the reasons for and against; verdicts of town's which have tried tht system and facts and figures of the nine existing village municipalities, as well as an estimate of what Incorporation would Involve if undertaken here. This committee was instructed to set about its work at once, and, hav ing gathered the facts, to prepare them for the public. This will be done in pamphlet form, the pamphlets to be distributed to the ratepayers. The committee will then call a public meeting, when, tbe ratepayers having studied tht various angles of the case, they will be given the opportunity of arranging for the plebiscite. This has been undertaken at this time because the board feels that it :s its public duty to take the lead in a matter so vital. It is not attempting to decide the question, but merely to help the public to decide it adequately. It ls desirable that incorporation, should the issue carry, be decided on by the end of October, so that the government wheels will have time to move and to give Princeton self-government commencing January 1. By this, Princeton would start off with the distribution of ite own tax revenue INSTALL REFRIGERATOR A f>ig refrigerator and ajmmonia plant is being installed at the local meat market of Burns & Company. The walls have already arrived, and they alone weigh 8,500 lbs. This cooler is of the latest type and design, and will be supplemented by an ammonia cooling plant.- A refrigerator counter will also be installed in the front shop, ensuring better meat service for the patrons of the local store. The Granby Company seeking satisfaction thorugh the courts, the City of Grand Forks persisting in their old channel, through the water board, the power monopoly question which has wreck-, ed southern B.C. and the province tt large qoritinues unsettled. But the Allenby plant continues to run; industrial conditions are as usual; and the southern interior hag not yet had to sit in darkness. The battle continues fiercely but fairly. The case went to the courts this week, and after two days' iiearing, a decision is still pending. An important aspect in the condemnation of monopoly was the voluntary resolution of the Trail convention of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities urging the establishment of a commission ot control public utilities. In the meantime ,the injuction sought by the Granby people for an assurance of protection temporarily has been renewed without any Vestige of protest by the West Kootenay people, Indicating tbat the matter Is not a spite flcwd, but a big business deal. The injunction originally obtained in supreme court terminated September 10, but on application of tha Granby counsel it was renewed pending a settlement of the Issue. Justice Murphy granted the request Grand Forks Persists While the Granby Company has accepted the technical defeat at the hands of the West Kootenay Company regarding the jurisdiction of the water board, and has taken the matter direct to the courts, the City of Grand Forks, the original instigators of the rates Issue, refuses to be brushed aside by technicalities^ and are arguing common sense law - and the status quo. The situation as it stands, rather than f'ne questions of law and contract, is the main issue, is the argument of F. A. McDiarmid in laying, the whole issue at the feet of the department of lands as the rightful judge. He is seeking from F. P. Burden, .minister of lands, a rever- ■ sal of the board's decision, and a re-opening of the case before it on the grounds, that the decision actually means-nothing and is not justified. .' 1 The board's special and only duty was to deal with the present case; to fix an equitable rate, holds Mr. McDiarmid. The place to define contracts is in the couits. By electing to decide on this latter point .the board has ignored its true function, it is held. Grand Forks protested against a three cent rate. All the board had to do was to settle this. It was no concern, of its how the power was supplied. The board has merely found that it has ho power to adjudicate on rates outside the fifty-mile area, argues the Grand Forks counsel in a later statement. It has not found the Wastj Kootenay Company may not sell power outs'de this area. The Water Act gives the board no power to ■ prevent the West Kootenay Company cutting of fthe power in any (Continued on page slx.1 PRINCETON CAPTURES THIRD PLACE FOR MINERAL EXHIBIT Enrollment in Valley Schools Announced I 19 II 41 Total 41.

BROWN, Editor SUBSCRIPTION RATES British Empire, One Year 12.00 Foreign, One Year $1.60 Payable in Advance. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1928 CONTROL OF FRUIT While the lower Similkameen Valley has for many years now been producing an abundance of fruit and the growers have found their produce going begging, there has been a lack of system whereby the large population engaged in mining operations in the upper valley, has been able to secure a steady supply at prices that would encourage them to use more fruit. The co-operative movement adopt- . ed among the growers does not appear to have solved their difficulties. It* hag fallen down—locally, at any rate—In one essential detail. It has failed to control the retailers ln the price at which the fruit is delivered to the consumers. Neither does there appear to be any systematic effort made to deliver the fruit at the time the different varieties are best suited for use or to educate the consuming public in this respect. In an effort toward self-preserva tion—the first law in human nature —it has been left for a Keremeos grower1 to make a systematic effort to remedy the situation referred to and to deliver to the people of the upper Similkameen a steady supply of fruit, at all times, at prices which are al.ke fair to the producer and consumer. Realizing the extreme difficulty of establishing personal contact with each of the numerous consumers in this district, Mr. Armstrong's choice is to dispose of the fruit through the established merchants in the different mining camps concerned, provided (and this is where the real control comes ln) that they will sell the fruit at a fair percentage of pro- tit, and at a price set by him. Otherwise he reserves the right to fill mall orders direct to the consumer f.o.b. his own home, at the price liBted. Mr. Armstrong, by reason ot being provided with storage facilities of his own (which few growers possess) is able to undertake to make deliveries of the various varieties of apples at the time they are mature and best suited for use, and in whatever quantity the demand requires, thus relieving the retailers of placing ln large stocks ahead of time, with the risk of possible loss. He also undertakes a campaign of publicity whioh will educate the con Burners In respect to tho different varieties of fruit, when they mature and when each is at its best, and also keep them posted as to prices. In their own interests it would appear to us that the retailers should get behind Mr. Armstrong in his effort to place the fruit business In this district on a better basis. as designed to curb this dishonest and shameful practice will be enforced to the limit, states Mr. McKenzie, who believes that interest ln B.C. mining is greater than ever before, and that it. must be given adequate protection. There Is no desire to discourage mining activity; the object is to foster genuine development by the exposure of schemes which drain the industry, and sap the confidence of investors. The deparment will open its doors to all desiring accurate Information on B.C. properties, as compiled by government experts. The announcement is made in view of the expected increase in investment of outside capital, and the revival of the stock market activity, with the harvesting of the wheat crop.

Our object in do'ng this is two-fold. First to keep in intimate touch with the different parts of our territory and | second to boost our circulation as much as possible. This week it was our privilege to call upon many old friends in the lower valley and to meet a number of new residents. The former we found all loyal to their local newspaper and ready to renew their subscriptions so I [as-to participate in The Star's free I cash drawn;, which is to be held at I the conclusion of our canvass. Many I Iof the new-comers "also joined the ! ranks of our readers realizing that j I the best possible v/ay to become ac-, iquainted with the valley is through the columns of the local paper. In the meantime, Mr. Dave Taylor is continuing the managerial duties at the office as he did during our holiday trip to the prairies. « • • » Just as the prairie country is harvesting a record wheat crop, we | found the lower Similkameen Valley busily engaged garnering a bumper crop of fruit of all varieties; and the combination should spell prosperity for the entire west. • * * • Not only will the apple crop prove a record one in the Similkameen, but the quality will be top notch. The fruit is now beginning to color n'ce- ly and ls siz'ng up so well that earl- jier estimates of the yield promise to be greatly exceeded. jj3sjpis**t All soft fnflts, with the except'on of apricots, and the earlier varieties of apples --.wh'ch have already been disposed of exceeded the estimates and were of splendid quality though market conditions are understood to have been rather disappointing. • • * • At the time of our visit _J;o the Packing houses on Wednesday there was a lull in operations but preparations were under way for handling of the Mcintosh Red crop which, in the orchards visited, is particularly heavy this year. Beginning today (Thursday) and continuing until the last apple is -packed, the packing houses will be hives of activity, and the growers will be hard put to pick the different varieties of apples .as they mature. "e-w* * • • * At Keremeos the Dominion Can nery has the product of about 225 acres of tomatioes to can. At Cawston the acreage ls about 125, including 60 acres which Dick Cawston, president of the Cawston Co-opera t've had planted at Chopaka, and which are shipped from the reserve to the cannery by train. w » * • 3_SW£_S Maurice Daly of Long Beach, Calif., and his wife, were recent visitors at the old home in Keremeos, having motored up during a brief holiday. . • • • * Mrs. A. M. Webb of Keremeos received a pleasant surprise last Friday when her mother, Mrs. McK'n- non, stepped off the train from Vancouver without any advance notice. • • • • Miss Willa Blackwood ls making her home at present with her aunt, Mrs. Lome Coleman, and Is attending the Keremeos school. • • * * Last week Mrs. H. Tweddle accompanied five of her children down to the coast where they will attend scbopl,. Missess Margery, Eileen, and Willa will attend St. Anne's Academy and Frank and Hal will resume their studies in oollege. Needless to say the departure of so many children at once will make a very noticeable change around the old home. • \m m m When It comes to telegraphic service to the outside, residents of the lower valley do not find the change entailed by the transfer of the government telephone service to the B.C. company altogether to their likng. As the railway office closes at f've o'clock any telegram now sent after that hour has to be forwarded to Princeton or Penticton by telephone and arrangements made to have it forwarded. Also ten-word messages to Vancouver which formerly cost 53c now cost 83c, &££ H • * * * Mrs. Gordon Brown of Vancouver 's visiting at the home of her parents Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Armstrong. Keremeos. «. • • « There are two new teachers on the staff of the Keremeos school this term: Miss - Davidson of Nana'mo, who is in charge of the primary room, and Miss Newcand of Victoria, who has the second division. • * *.->.*? ■— Mrs. J. R. Campbell and sons Ronnie and Mickey report a very pleasant vacation at the coast. The boys think there ls nothing quite equal to the bathing at English Bay. • • * * Mrs. Etches is engaged in the telephone office, relieving Miss Schu- man who has three months leave of absence. Sa3v5r • * * * Operations at the B'ghorn mine (Horn Silver) this summer have been confined to development work with a comparatively small crew employed. "Samples of ore presented us are the most spectacular we have ever seen, in:Jhe way of native silver, but occurs' in small veins which tor- the .most .paiitXare very elusive., Bert itcDougall, Vancouver, Secretary of [the company, was visitng'.ifche prop- I. {fifty'."at'the time we.-j2alle.d- ,He_.intimated t-hs-t. it was hoped to resjjme I milling operations next spring, ..when I some -clfattsssf- aad -^tensions '.'would j be made- in; the plant:',.' fn tiie'"meantime a carload shipment ot ore Is be 'ng made from the ore bins to the smelter. Fred Pope of Princeton has the contract for trucking it to the railway line at Similkameen. -*--• • m A visit to the fox ranch of Mr. S'nclair" at Cawston will be found very interest'ng. The little bright- eyed, sharp-nosed, furry puppies, with the.'r graceful bodies and magnificent brushes- are quite a sight. Twelve of these are the progeny of the celebrated Nap, a polygamous fox purchased by Mr. Sinclair from the All Star Kennels, Winnipeg. Results, th's year, states Mr. Sinclair, are quite satisfactory. * * * * Mrs. R. H. Carmichael, Miss Gwen and Master Harvey, leave tomorrow (Friday) for Vancouver, where Mrs. Carmichael has leased a residence *n convenient proximity to the University, where M'ss Gwen is enrolled for the opennig of next term. Master Harvey will attend public school in the city. * • • » The recent flower show at Keremeos was, a complete success in respect to exhibits, which were well above the average. The intensely hot weather detracted somewhat from the attendance at the fair, but the dance in the even'ng was well patronized, and quite a substantial sum thus raised for improvements to the: community hall. ■ . . . - We are in hopes that Mrs. Lintott, who recently returned from her holiday vis't at the coast, w'll resume the duties of correspondent to 'hA S'»r for Kerem^ns and we fp«l sure that all our readers wlll echo the wish. While in Vancouver Mrs Lintott was a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Kennedy. On her return she was accompanied by the young son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy, who .have been enjoy- - ing a motor trip in 'he 'n'er'or and are expected ln Keremeos this weekend. * * > •, Sportsmen in the upper valley will be pleased to know there is a splendid , crop of pheasants and huns ln the lower valley this year. FOOTBALL TITLE AT STAKE WHEN OLD RIVALS MEET IN CRUCIAL GAME SUNDAY (Continued from page one.) PPWER DISPUTE ENTERS COURTS, BUT 8TATUS QUO 18 MAINTAINED IN MEANTIME JContlnued from page one.) meen towns -will be in dire excitement Sunday when Princeton footballers make their big bid to lift the valley crown from the brow of Blakeburn, undefeated to date. The teams are tied ln the Similkameen league race, and fought a hitter draw in the first meeting, at Coalmont. Since then Copper Mountain has twice fallen to Blakeburn, once to Prinoeton. Blakeburn's 7-1 victory Sunday was countered by Princeton's 6-0 win the week before. Princeton has a slightly better goal average for her two games. 7-1, compared with Blakeburn's 12-2 for three. Both teams wlll be at full strength. Princeton has relied on fewer players than any of the four Similkameen teams, but her eleven will be an all- star one Sunday. Luxon and- Trudglan, secured from Hedley, have given Princeton the best left wing in the league, and have improved the forward 1'ne fifty per cent. Blakeburn will have to leave some men out Sunday. For the past few weeks they have been handicapped by injuries, but the reserves have been rto'ng some wonderful things. The likely line-ups are: Blakeburn: Bryden or W'lliams; Mcintosh and Miller or' Plaskett; Purss, Slogar, and Gemmell; Craig, McGregor, Lewis, Jackson and Had- dow. '-J ' Pr'nceton: Dodd; Norman or Gill and Rintoul; A. Muir, R. Foster and Taylor; Ryder, Bontain, J. Foster, Luxon and Trudgian. A.

H. Fraser, general manager, and S. Kolle, principal shareholder who were inspecting the property. It i£ proposed to ship the first ore to the Trail smelter within a week- stated Mr. Fraser. This will be more or less in the nature of f demonstration of the ore values of the property, as commercial shipping, would not be practical vet. Ore values give about $30.00 to the ton, while it - would cost about $25 to process the ore at Trail. It Is planned at an early date to erect a mill, where, by doing this part of the process themselves, the Pacific Slope people will effect very considerable saving. Some four new strikes were made recently, stated Mr. Kolle, well impressed wi'h ' what he saw of the property. This brings the total to about twelve such leads, and the ore taken from the last is more promising than from any to date. Recent ore bearg high zinc values as well as s'lve-r and lead Some of 'he ore is as high as 30 per cent zinc it is stated. Road Open The road is now through to the property following an active summer's work. Frank Anderson had the honor of driving the first car through when he took Mr. Kolle and Mr. Fraser up Saturday. In honor of the car. the flat was christened "Dodge Flat." The road has a fine bed, and -'•_ is believed that it will nOw be possible to sh'p from the mine at any time that it is desired. There is a fine road bed, and an easy grade, and in the winter the snow will pack down. In the spring thiw a tractor w 11 be used, and it is expected tnaft it will have no difficul'y. Eventually it is planned to ebuild a railway. The presnt grade, states Mr. Fraser, is almost E e ideal one, and all that would have to be done would-J-e to widen the nresent road bed, and cut out at one hill. Development work at .the mine has. been going on steadily all summer. Mr. Kolle and Mr. F. aser returned ot the coast Tuesday. Mr. Kolle is also Interested in Dod .on's Bakery, Vancouver. ROAD WORK IN 1927 Thirteen miles of new road wire constructed and surfaced In widths from twelve to sixteen fiet; sixteen miles, including small diversions, were Improved and re-constructed; 2.850 miles were maintained at a cost of $55.75 per mile in the Prmceton- Pentlcton district in the fiscal year 1926-7, according to the report of W. K. Gwyer, district 4 engineer, A steady Increase of traffic has been noted, and in order to keep dry belt roads in good condition it has been found necessary to keep a gang cf men almost constantly employed. Use of a rock crusher was recommended as an eventual necessity and, in the long run, an economy. The tarvia experiment on Primary Hgh 14A. through Penticton munici- pal'ty, was disappointing, probably due to 'he class' of material which forms the foundation; In the same per'od thirteen bridges were re-onstructed and nine repaired. The object is to remove wooden structures and replace them by permanent work. In addition" to the work above, $9,650 was expended on improvement to mining roads and trails under the "Mines Development Act." Improvements to the Cariboo road under contract featured .the work in Kamloops dis'rict. Need of better surfac'ng than gravel is stressed, due to the increase in traffic. locality at any time. This is a question solely for the courts. According to the wording of tha order, Mr. McDiarmid holds, the I board has actually assumed full jurisdiction and disapproved all existing 1 rates, leaving the situation unsettled and disordered, and consequently necessitating a new decision. The 1 order is worded in direct contradic-| Hon of the announced intent'on of the board as explained in covering letters to him. Accord'ngly, Grand Forks will seek a new decision saying that the board has power to adjudicate West Kootenay rates over the entire Boundary, | South Okanagan and Similkameen areas. '■-.■•&&'- Built Lines Supporting evidence of this allegation Is furnished by quotations from government reports containing statements of construction work by the West Kootenay Company well outside the fifty mile radius. The West Kootenay people have been supplying Grand Forks .with power .for the last fifteen years, The decision of the water board I did not mean that the West Koot- j enay company must not sell power ouitside the fifty mile limit. This is the explanation of the board it- I self, countering the interpretation 1 placed upon it by the West Kootenay company that the board had ; ruled the company was acting with- \ out authority ln selling power out- sid f. While the board has found ! that it has no power to set rates in '.this area. It has by no means found that the company cannot legally sell power. Urges Contract 'Responsibility for the fulfillment! l-o£ the Granby company's contract for electric power-is urged by B. C.- Mayers, K.C. When the West Koot-| enay company took over the Okanagan Power company it assumed 'ts 1 contracts, and is liable for 'he'r ful- I flment The Granby attorney refused to accept the excuse that the -,West. Kootenay company has no j power to sell ou's'de of the fifty j I mile radius. If this were the case, j then the West Kootenay cjompany 1 have been acting illegally in the past,; and 'ts licence would be subject to I aancellat'on by provincial water j j authorities. The City of Grand Forks has authorized its solicitor to enter man-! damus proceedings to test the argu-j meitt- of the West Kootenay company. A Conjecture That the West Kootenay company would not dare to shut off Granby power Is a local suggestion apparently w'th a certain stamp of authority. The Great Northern Hallway, it ia said, has interests in the Granby company. The Kettle Valley Railway, a subsidiary of the Canadian Pacif'c. uses lines in this section owned by the G.N. The result is 'obvious. There seems to be little likel'hood of any" shu'ting off the power for spite. These big companies do not fight that way. But the existing uncertainty is having its effect on local business. C. A. Yule of Summerland, and W. J. Lee, from Dakota, were In town last, week arranging" to dispose of th<V goods fij "J. N.'"Lee at h:'s ranch sitluted"Vbout" a' mile from town. He is seriously ill in Penticton, W. 3.
