Radolph Bruce, lieut.-governor who with his charming niece, Miss Helen MacKenzie, spent Wednesday in Merritt. The lieutenant governor's genial manner, his anecdotes in speech, his irrepressible smile, his keen interest in all he sees assure for the Princeton people an interesting time. He beamed as he was told by the editor of the Merritt Herald of the splendid program Princeton was preparing for his visit and was pleased when told that Mr. W. A. Wagenhauser, president of the Princeton boartnW trade, had telphoned to say Hon. Mr. Bruce. had a happy time ahead of him in i Pr'nceton. The lieutenant governor I and Miss MacKenzie left tonight, Wed-1 nesday, in F. B. Ward's car for I Princeton, .to join his special car for his visit by K.V.tt. to Grand Forks.

S. Moore and A. Sorenson. plan cement walks Princeton's concrete sidewalks will soon be taking "concrete shape." H. Nicholls of the department of Works, was here this week making preliminary arrangements and investigft- t'ona for the work. VISITED YESTERDAY Princeton had an unofficial and unexpected Visit of their Honors yester< day. President Wagenhauser received a telephone message from Mayor G. B. Armstrong of Merritt that the vice-regai party had left for Princeton by aUto. The party was met, and d'rected to their special car, arrangements being made for the provision of the evening meal here.

PRINCETON BAND HOLDS INITiAk PRACTICE MONDAY If its first showing may be taken as a criterion, Princeton Will not haVe to be without music for this year's July 1 celebration, and In a v«ry short time the town and district will be treated to some really good band concerts, and Will have at i s beck and call a band Of which It may well be proud. Nine players and would be players gathered Monday night and produced the first real evidence of a band when the. old instrument were dug Out and the boys go through the exercises so well that they drifted into a couple of marches a the first time of asking.. Of course the instruments Were a little balky after their long rest, and some of the players were a hit rusty, too but with elbow grease to the former and an odd cracked lip to the latter the polish is beginning to come back to both. A second enthusiastic practice was week. It is planned to arrange to ers added. The toal roll now stands at about 18. with .room for more yet. Arrangements have been made to get the instruments, repaired, and more instruments will be added soon, Musie is also on the way, The Parish Hall has been engaged for weekly practices which will be held at 7:SO Monday evening. Special classes for beginners are held each Thursday evening at Mr. Gibson's cabin. Anyone having in their possession instruments formerly used by the Allenby band is asked to turn them In to Eddie Anderson. The subscription list will be go' under way this wek. It 's planned to arrange to have players placed on shifts so that thpy can attend band practices regularly. *h£& Practices will be held regularly each Monday evening, G. G. Lyall being named a committee of one to find a suitable hall. Classes for beginners-will be held each Thursday evening at Mr. Gibson's cabin. Practices will commence at 7:30. There is still room for new players. Those with instruments are especially desired, but old players who have no instruments and mere beginners will be welcomed. There is room for a cornet player, a bass player, and a few others. Furiher election of officers resulted ln the following positions being filled: leader. S. R. G'bson; secretary, Dave Taylor; treasurer, Hy. Foster. Mr. Gibson taking over his duties, stressed the necessity of constant and regular practice, and felt assured that given this, prineeton District' Band would make phenomenal prfl- AMBULAMCE CENTER ORGANIZED FOR PRINCETON DISTRICT Definite organization was effected at a well attended and enthusiastic meeting in the Prince- tori Hotel Sunday of a local center for the promotion of first aid and mine rescue work in the up- p^r Similkam'een Valley. Tfiis year's July 1 celebration will see the first aid competitions a major feature, with teams from the different camps in competition. Instruction will be started at once, and it is hoped to include classes for women and juniors shortly. John G. B'ggs, inspector of mines, was in attendance, and in an address outlined the necessity for such a movement in the Princeton district. The large number of men employed In _in:hg in this section makes the work one of vital necessity. Increasing' interest was, he said, being shown in first aid and "safety first" movements in the m'ning sphere. A Mttle knowledge mrght save much •suffering, or even a life. . The movement is sponsored by the TTb'iii■ Minister of, Mines, W. A. McKenzie, local member, and his inspector. It is supported by the local m'ning physicians and by mining officials, and it seems certain that classes swill, be a popular innovation in Princeton in the fall of the year. It is intended to provide trophies n 'the form of silver cups to stimulate compe'ition, while valuable in- rti-vtdual prizes wi'l be offered. Teams Wife Coaimont. Blakeburn, Allenby, Tulameen Copper Mt., Hedley and Merritt are expected to compete. Officers elected are as follows: Hon. pres.., Hon. W. A. McKenzie, Rsq.. Minister of M'ne's; hon.

L. J. ffSlas, popular manager of the Bank oSMcn'troal, who after four1 years in Princeton has been transferred to Kpajs; Bay—when a score of friends p." 'itjed. at a happy function in the ratfe'ing'roottt of the Tulameen Hotel last night to bid him farewell. President W. A. Wagenhauser was toastmas'er; and that of course made the success of the event a foregone conclusion. But eaual tribute must be paid to A. O. Johnson and Mrs. Steele for the really splendid repast *hey provided; wh'le Charlie Watson as convenor of the affair left nothing undone. Every member present spoke of Mr. Collas' fine character and his excellent work in Princeton. Congenial, pleasant, fond of children—in short, very human, Mr. Collas was referred to as a real banker, who knew his business, but was always will'ng to stretch a legitimate point. Some men, and some industries here practically owed their posit'on to Mr. Hollas. In a position so important, he had done much for the development ! of Princeton. And Angus wouldn't let them forget the golf, nor Wag the women. Mr. Harmon, manager of the Bank of Commerce paid glowing tribute to his "rival." Then Wag told how he took the Prince of Wales for a buggy ride, which is a story worth keeping. J. A. Brown had known Mr. Collas ta the second C. M.R.'s. All had their turn—(President Wagenhauser, 'H. W. R. Moore A. S. Black. L. A. Dodd. Elmer Burr, Angus Nicholson. L. Q. Wilson, R. M. Irwtn Louis Sherbauer. Dr. R. S. Manson, J. A. Brown, G. C. Kimberley, J. A. McLaughlin, Charles Hunter. But It was left to C. E. Watson to make the most effcetlve effort of the evening—because it was climaxed with the gift of a fine wardrobe trunk and club bag. .Mr. Collas' heartily thanked his friends for their good wishes. He assured them that even though it meant promotion, he regretted to leave. He considered that in banking the personality of the men with whom the banker had to deal meant much, and he was also sure that a field like Princeton, where the future was so assured, made loaning money comparatively easy. In his four and a half years here he had loaned for the bank a very large sum of money: he had lost only $40, when an old man had died. He wished his successor, Mr. V. G. Field, every success. Dave Taylor responded to a toast to his own success. "Absent friends" were duly toasted, while J. A. McLaughlin voiced the Sentiments of the entire gathering when he congratulated the chairman on h's work. Mr. Collas expects to leave Friday. He will relieve at Banff for two weeks after which he will go on to Victoria to manage the branch of the bank at Oak Bay.

Both are first y»ir ttud*n__ Expeditions From Princeton and Keremeos Visited Interesting But Little Known Formations Towering pillars of basaltic rock, hurtled, one supposes, from the depths of the earth in the days of the d'm and distant past when the earth was young and the hand of God was just framing creation; piled massively one against the other, ta perfect formation, standing ln place with noth'ng to hold them save their slight incline, the one against the other, yet apparently the work of a roaster mason; thousands of them, yet each part of the magnificent structure perfect in i'self, a roughly hewn hexagon of hard, grey-white rock; this is a heritage of our wonderful valley of which very little is known. "The Columns" are a truly rare and remarkable possession, and one which should be exploited from a publicity point of view. There are. lt is said, only thre such known de- posite in the world; and it is quoted on no less authority than Prof Odium that of all three, if this were properly uncovered, it would be declared the most perfect. Not a few have, like our own Mr. A. E. Howse, crossed the breadth of Ireland to see the famous Giant's Causeway—declared by people who have seen both to be no more wonderful than our own. The Columns are quite easily at- 'ainable, yet lamentably obscure ta the m'nd of the Similkameen public. In fact one has to make several enquiries almost within their shadow at Keremeos before one can be accurately directed, while it is safe to say that the big proportion of upper valley residents have never heard of them. Oddly enough however, two exped- 'tions were organized last week, one from Keremeos, one from Princeton, in secutive days, and so enthusiastic are those who went over what they saw that this wonderful phenomena is due to receive considerable attention in the immed'ate future. HOW TO GET THERE The first part of the quest is a drive down to sunny Keremeos—in itself a real treat now that the roadside is. green and the orchards are in bloom.' One must pass through the town of Keremeos and turn off on the Penticton road. Stopping near the Tweddle ranch—one of the oldest and best in the district—it is well to se'ect picnic site. This is a very simple matter, as beautiful Keremeos Creek, with its grassy slopes paralleling the roadside, ls most inviting. There is a well defined trail over the bluffs back of the Tweddle ranch, and while there are other ways of reaching the Columns, this is perhaps the best, because most easily followed. Once the b'uffs are climbed the columns are discemable to one who has visited them before. The going is easy over rolling sheep-graztag country. From two to two and a half hours should be set aside for the upward journey, though the return trip'can be accompl'shed in a little better than an hour. Do not attempt to stage' an elaborate picnic at the columns. Better take a little water and what food will best sustain and carry most easily. You will enjoy your repast on the creek banks much more when you return. Princeton Party Three cars from Princeton made the trip Sunday, and despite flaws in the organization of the event, were highly satisfied with their work. It is said to be about twenty years since an organized visit was paid to the Columns. School Children Do It Boys and girls of Principal Gur- ney's classroom at Keremoes school organized an expedition Saturday afternoon, and attained their Objective in spite of many experiences, one of which was to run into a rain storm. Mr. Jones, a young Yorkshlreman, arrived from England this week to work tor Mr, Murohy, Allenby. 9 Wl'h June and the end of the school year hoving in sight, there is a general quickening of pulses of all interest in school work. The last mad rush is on, and promotion is noV' the big consideration. April examinations reflected this awakening, and results were generally satisfactory. There was a distinct improvement in attendance in most valley schools. Total enrollment is now 257, a new .high mark. .Following are detailed figures of Princeton public and high schools: High School Prescribed days _ 17 Toal actual attendance 631.5 Average actual attendance 37.16 Pupils attending ;. 39 Percentage 95.2% - Highest register no. „•,..__ _... 39 Public School Prescribed days -. 17 Total actual attendance . —..'. 2036 Average actual attendance 166.8 Pupils attending 193 Percentage :....- 86.5% Highest register No. ........... 218 Grades V and VI were out of school five days due to sickness of Miss Thomson.

Your Honor. Long live the King! r r*\f*'*\r*m,\/*P*\ms* % CORRESPONDENCE News From Jerry W. A. Wagenhauser, Esq., President Board of Trade, Princeton, B.C. My Dear Mr. Wagenhauser:—I want to take this opportunity of thanking you for your many kindnesses to me while I was in Princeton, and to congratulate you upon the splendid spirit that your board of trade is showing . There is so much to do in British Columbia and so little being done that it really seems difficult to know where to start. A healthy board of trade spirit is always of value and an asset to any community. Unfortunately, in British Columbia party politics play such an overwhelming part that I have long since come to the conclusion that it is the greatest hindrance to our provincial advancement. British Columbia has a great future before her and I have no doubt of the value of the party system of government. At the same time, however, it must be recognized that there are a great many things upon which men of all parties can unite for the general well-being of the province. Let us hope that the brighter the future of British Columbia will bring that day soon, and It is through such men as yourself that the proper kind of a public spirit will come into existence in the province. I want .to congratulate you on your efforts in getting the right kind of a spirit abroad in the Similkameen and Tulameen valleys, a section of British Columbia that appeals to me as having a worth-while future before it. I also want to assure you that I was delighted to make my little contribution to your meeting. Yours very truly, G. G. McGEER. Vancouver, B.C., May 3rd, 1929. ience in coal mining. Opening of this valuable property,' which lies just across the Tulameen River from the center of the town and extends north over the Hats and east to the Hunter property, is planned at an early date. The Asbington Coal Company has been formed to undertake this work, and has appoint ed Mr. Floyd as engineer. According to Mr. Floyd tho deal involves 8,325 acres of coal in clean! domestic seams of six to eight feet deep; a clean, domestic coal four per cent better than any domestic coal found on Vancouver Island, and .12 per cent, cleaner. It is estimated there are 59,940,000 tons of recoverable coal, with, a virgin value of . 14,- 985,000.00 The life of the mines is estimated at over 100 years and a market for complete production, it is said, has already been found. These men have many years experience in public life and will give •their engineer every encouragement to take an active part in civic development. In addition to this purchase, the Ashington Coal Company is negotiating for the Lynden coal mine, which, if successful, they will, immediately opera*e in conjunction with the other property. Arrangements are well ahead to commence operations at an early date and, a plant will subsequently be erected to accommodate a large output. Markets for this coal have been established, it is said, as far south as Ban Francis-O, Including all cities on and adjacent to the Pacific coaBt. * • • » Placer Men Busy J. J. Marks has moved a lot of machinery up the river from Tulameen and expects to instal a lot more this week. Prospectors and panners are out on the annual pilgrimage for gold. Garnet Sootheran expects to be on the job at his promising platinum holdings at Eagle Creek this week, while Billy Moses went -up the river to start his season's work last week. Mr. Bagley has gone to the coast for machinery, and is expected" to do extensive work. It is reported that Mr. Stines and colleaques are to establish .a camp in Tulameen. It was also stated that Mr. Dornberg would this season resume active work, and would be on the job April 1. There is as yet, however, no sign of activity at his camp. * * * » Certificates Expire May 31at Prospectors and others concerned .are reminded that Free Miners' Certificates expire May 31, and that re- I newals be made this month at the government office. . • « • p. H. Fraser Here P. H. Fraser, manager of tbe S & M Mines, Ltd., came up from Vancouver, this week and went out to the property on the Hope summit yesterday. * * * * Trites and Party Here A. B. Trites and party, well known Vancouver mining men, w.ere in town early this week and went out with Mr. McDougall, now of Olalla, for years a leading figure ta Similkameen mining. They were looking over the nickle deposits which Mr. McDougall uncovered recently near Olalla, and also his copper property adjacent to Princeton. * * * • Contractors Visit W. A. Webb, of Vancouver, who has the contract for the bulk of the output of the Tulameen Valley Coal Mine was a visitor to Princeton early this week. M. Y. Alvazoff of Vancouver, Greek consul, was also looking over the 'property, and may become interested. COALMONT SEEKS BETTER ROAD CONNECTIONS to them when it came. Better connections with Princeton were essential. The present road was not satisfactory, and a proper connection should be made to help in both local and outside sales of Coaimont lumber and coal. ^Jsl NEW SERCETARY U.F.B.C. More dependable railway ser- Vide, better roads, and encouragement of Industry were the chief pioints expressed by E. V. Lucas, representing Coalmont- Blakeburn board of trade at Fri- day's banquet. To the newcomer to Coaimont the backward condition of everything was most impressive. Shippers had difficulty in securing cars—this was one of Mr. Barnes' chief difficulties ta his lumber business; roads were bad. While there was a sentiment that the route to Hope and the coast should go through Tulameen territory, generally that section of the valley endorsed the selected route to Hope by the Roche, and were pulling with Princeton for the completion of this link. But what Coaimont did want, waB to have this road made more useful MORTGAGE SALE OF FARM PROPERTY MINING NOTES Inspect Property Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Roy, president and secretary respectively of the Princeton Mining & Development Co., are in Prnlceton making further inspections of the property, locally known as the Foster .mine. It is their plan to resume work and eventually to install a concentrating mill. • * « • K. K. Reid and J. W. Irwin, prominent New Westminster men, who are chiefly interested in the deal, were here this week, with Edward Floyd, mining engineer, and engineer for the p«w company, wbp bus a lift espe» Tenders will be received by the ■undersigned up to and inclusive of Monday the 27th day of May, 1929, for the purchase of the following described valuable farm property, viz: Lot 934, Gr. 1.

Backward weather is however holding back the real opening of the local tennis season, with {flayers impatient to get under way. As a result of efficient work, a natty doubles court has been conditioned, well surfaced with ashes, and as the new location—the rink site— is highly central, the court is expected to be in much demand this season.

DATED at Penticton, B.C., thi_.18th day Of April 1929. W. R. DEWDNEY, Registrar of Voters, Similkameen . Electoral District.- •• 24-4 Start at Penticton Penticton tennis courts opened Informally May 1, when, thanks to the work of an energetic committee, the players found the courts ln -excellent shape. Anew rubberoid tape will be experienced with on the centre courts this year. The formal opening 18 set for May 11. The courts are under the mangement of Claude Hei- den and 0. G. Crane, jT*j? Standing P W D L F-A Pts Copper Mt. 110 0 1-0 2 Prince*on 0 0 0 0 0-00 Blakeburn 10 10 0-10 Game Sunday—Copper Mt. at Princeton. By the margin of a single goal, 6^3red by Scotty Craigen, who Is bettelr known « the leading scorer in the hockey league,' Cop- plsr Mountain drew first blood In the Similkameen Pbaitfall League and at the same time ended Blakeburn's long supremacy and shattered their proud record of never having been beaten in organized football. The game, played at. Copper Mountain Sunday' under almost ideal conditions, made an auspicious opening for the new season, the second of the Similkameen Football League. Vice- president W. A. Wagenhauser of Princeton duly set the season under way when he officially kicked off. He is 8*111, rumor says, nursing a discolored big toe, but the report that the steam shovel was used to fill up the cavity in the football ground is discredited as groundless— which if it had been true, the Copper Mountain club would have been. Copper Mountain owed their verdict—'Which was well won—to a superb half back line and a smoothly work'ng front rank which kept the visitors from settling down to their usual long-short passing game at any stage. Copper Mountain held the nap hand most of the way. The only goal came after about thirty minutes play, and it was Kelly always dangerous, Who was; chiefly responsible. He barged one of his cross shots from the wing, and Williams, while he stopped the ball was unable to hold it. Craigen was on him in a trice, and volleyed th© ball through, though lt Is claimed that the ball was over the line from Kelly's shot, and came out again. The first half was superb football but the second saw both teams be com'ng a little nettled. For the first time in the valley football goal nets were used. There were rumors of a protest over the residential status of Parker, one of Copper Mountain's new men, but no objection was off! daily lodged. Teams Blakeburn—Williams; Miller and Mcintosh; Smith. White, and Nesbitt: Craig. McGregor, Lewis, Dlxj on and H&ckwood. Copper Mt.—Moore; Foster and Thomson; Newton. Slogar and Luxon; Thompson, Wilson, Craigen. Parker and Kelly. Referee—Jerry Brown, AT PRINCETON SUNDAY FOOTBALL TOURS ARE BECOMING MORE POPULAR Although lt is very much to the fore the Welsh footballers' tour Is not the only one by a foreign team to Canada this season. Almost as interesting and quite as colorful ls that of the Turkish team, which has at last materialised after a year or two of unsuccessful negotiations, It is known as the Beshiktashi Gymnasium Soccer Club, and makes Its home in historic Byzantium. The tour Is chiefly the result el efforts ot a prominent Turkish merchant recently in Eastern Canada. The Turks are prepared to look after their own expenses, accepting only a percentage of gate receipts. Another prominent tour fell through, that of the Arsena; Club, a London first league team. This was not encouraged by the Dominion jFootball Association who hesitated to make two guarantees in a single season. INVITE PRINCETON ATHLETES Merritt school athletic officials have extended an Invitation to 'Princeton and Similkameen school athletes to take part In their local meet, but owing to the proximity of the event to the May 24 celebration at Keremeos, It hag been found Inadvisable to accept this year, Princeton's Soccer season will open Sunday when the formld- .abJe Copper Mountain aggregation who skittled Blakeburn Sun. day, and have two Victories over Princeton in exhibtion matches to their credit this year, will be visitors. Princeton will field Its best team .of the year, and at Its new strength Is expected to give Copper Mountain a real run. Th. line Up will be found on page S.

Building They were seated around the heater in the Coaimont Community Club room. Most of them were prospectors o" miners and also most of them were, Micawber like, waiting for something to.' turn up. The weather was the topic and from the trend of their conversation one would have thought thai the whole of their future depended upon whether the coming summer was going to be wet or dry. The opinions were about flfty_Sfty with a margin on the side of the drys. BUI Rowan, a visitor from Granite Creek, was strongly convinced that we are going to have a wet summer. Said Bill, "It's just such another spring as we had bacjt in the 'eighties' and that year this valley was flooded most o' the summer. Along in the 'nineties' we had another wet summer and it was in that year that 'he town o1 Coaimont began to have its being. Later on when the government was having sidewalks laid, !t was considered advisable to have them elevated and that's how come we have the high-up sidewalks at •he present day." "Your ideas about the weal her may be all right," said Jim Darby, "but . notice that Foster predicts a dry summer." "Foster," said Bill with a sneer, 'doesn't know any more about the feeather than I know about milking cows and that's nothing to speak of." "Yea," piped up Little Bobs, "ye ■nay be right at that but I'll bet ye my bottom dollar that ii cows gave beer instead o' milk ye would be a tlrst class milker." "Say, you little banty rooster," exclaimed Bill, "I have heard you shooting your head off about that bottom dollar for the past twenty vears. Why don't you buy half a dozen with it and get rid of it?" "S<peaking of cows and sidewalks." Uald Paddy Murty, "reminds me that t have often wondered how it is 'hat when cows want to lay down and chew their cud they always seem to pick the highest part of the sidewalk. It makes it mighty hard for ould fellows like me to climb down and then climb up again after passing them." THE O.P. ENTERS It was during a lull in the conversation after it had drifted from the weather to sidewalks and cows that the Old Prospector dropped in| The O.P. had walked down from Tulameen with the intention of returning by tihe afte'rnoon train, a Journey which he undertook every once in a while. The ostensible reason for the O.P.'s visit was to say "Hullo" to his old tillicums, but it was generally supposed that there was another one which he carried back in' his hip pocket. However, It may as well be admitted that that Is the O.P.'s business. Having appreciatively accepted some liquid refreshment, the old timer was asked to give his opinion about the weather probabilities. "Well the fact is," said the O.P., "I don't profess to be a weather prognostieator but if I may be allowed to express my opinion I would say it's going to be a dry summer. This spring looks very like a spring 'hat we had thirty years ago and it turned out to be one o' the driest summers on record. Me and Scotty MacLeod were working on a claim up Granite Creek and at the tall end o' July we couldn't get enough water lo pan with. Well, one day we happened to be poking around turning up some o the dry gravel now and then when we accidentally came across the richest bit o' gravel that any of us had ever seen. You can believe me or not, but in a short time we had picked .up half a hatful o' nuggets. I was remarking to Scotty that it was too bad that we 'lid not have water to pan with when he seemed to be struck with an 'dea and telling me he would be berley was offered to a company with which Mr. Wilson was connected 11 years ago for $11,000. The manager who is in charge of a plant should assume responsibility, should be awake to such possibilities. All this is a form of evolution. We must be abreast with the times. The Similkameen is not alone in fostering meetings of this kind. Man was not a creature who could live alone It was a good thing to assemble for the good of the entire Similkameen district, but we should not limit our scope to that. Become provincial in your outlook, urged Mr. back soon he started down the Wilson,- and you will have provincial creek towards the village.

Prices $8.60 to $16.50 but as he was usually level-headed I didn't worry very much. In the meantime I passed the time away by tunrng over the gravel and picking out more nUggets. When Scotty returned I got a big surprise, for he was packing a four and a half gallon keg o' beer on his shoulder. My first thought was that he intended to celebrate, but after we had a few swigs he exclaimed that it was his intention to use beer Instead o' water for panning. I looked at Scotty, thinking maybe the finding o' gold had affected his brain but he was Quite* compos mentis. Well, we brought down a big tub from our shack so as to salvage as much o' the beer as possible and we started In to pan. Now you can believe me. or not but in the first pan we got -enough gold to buy a dozen kegs o' beer," At this Interesting part of the O.P.'s narrative he heard the whistle of the Kettle Valley train so the old gentleman had to hurry away to save himself from a shank's mare trip to Tulameen, There was an interval of silence after the O.P. had gone forth, which was presently broken by Paddy Murty, who exclaimed. "Did yez hark to the ould windjammer telling us about passing the time away by picking up nuggets? Dang his ould hide I could see them nuggets in me mind and me knowing that the ould divil was drawing on his imagination." ■*I was thinking more about the beer than I was about the ijuggets," said Bill Rowan. "I had a suspicion that the old gent was handing us a line o' bull but I couldn't help visualizing that keg o* beer—tour and a half gallons o' honest to goodness beer being poured into a gold pan and us sitting here With our tongues hanging out. If the old skinflint had set up the drinks we could have stood for his blarney but here we are high and dry and nothing ln sight. I don't suppose any of you have the price?" The answer to this was unanimous shaking of heads so Bill said, "In that case they might as well go home." Which they accordingly did. —JAY ELL.

R, Wllson'Outllnes Potential Possibilities of Coal Area of His Newest Ventura C. V. Prosser Men's Wear Family Shoe Outfitter A country with water power facilities equal to those of Niagara Falls, and with Coal deposits the most astonishing in the world; with wondrous scenic and tremendous natural wealth was outlined by W. R. Wilson, president of the Wilson interests, referring to the Ingenika, his new field of activities, at the board of trade banquet Friday night, mimity growth and human progress, Co-operation was essential to eom- he said. This banquet was an outcome of the principle of evolution. There had been in actuality boards of trade since the first civilization, and as civilization progressed men realized more and more that they needed one another's help. There would be a great example of evolution provided in the Peace River country soon, declared Mr. Wilson, referring to a itrip to his Ingenika property Just completed. Here through a practically level expanse of plain, ran the" Crook River, olear as crystal, SujB_r.it Lake and Retllff Lake were gems of beauty. Down the Parsnip River to th* forks with . the Pembina, and along the Peace to Fort Graham, and the mouth of the ingenika River, 72 miles; ..the giant Flndlay River, 300 feet wide, entering Findlay Lake; all running through a country of great resources. The altitude Of Summit Lake is 2300 feet, of Flndlay Lake, 2100 feet, a fall of 200 fe«t In 125 miles. This seemed to bear out the theory that the entire Peace country was once an Immense lake, draining through Retcliff Lake to the Fraser River. The traveller proceeds down the Hudson River to Hudson Hope, with a lake at an elevation; into rough country through Flndlay Falls Canyon, 700 feet deep, rapids 19 mileg long with a fall of 360 feet, providing water power almost equal to that of Niagara Falls. Here a stream of water eight feet deep, running at the rate ot 3% miles per hour, could generate immense power. Right in this section was found the most wonderful coal field known in the entire world. This was a section of whieh British Columbians were generally ignorant, yet it was their duty to learn of it. In travels all over this continent and in South Africa Mr. Wilson said he had never seen a country equal to. B.C. ln potential possibilities. In the Ingenika cqj.1 deposit the carbon content was 82 per cent; the ash less than 2 per cent. With this coal you could smelt without coking, the only coal known in the world with which this was possible, save for small patches in Pennsylvania. Here was a wonderful opportunity.

A place where everything reigns supreme.; where water's ripples, in fact, everything ripples here —in other words, a second Lake of KlUarney. We can guarantee that after a visit here, you will not want to take to the Pacific waters as a cure-all, nor an insane asylum for a change. And as for sheiks and flappers, why that is a thing of the past. No good wife need be scared she will lose her spouse and become a dependent for keeps. So come and have a good time, one and all; your dear hearts will be* warmed and delighted at the real good fellowship that will be extended you from the beloved citizens of good old Tulameen. ■ CARD OF THANKS Proctor and Echlin. ^^^ The "Afflicted Choir" Messrs.
