General Merchant PEE Creston, B.C Dramatic Club Formed Creston is to have a Dramatic Society. It was decided at a meeting on Friday \"* night in McPsak's hall, at which about 24 ladie3 and gentlemen were present. Mr. J. J. Atherton was voted to the chair, and he called upon those present who were interested in the formation of a proposed dramatic club, to expound their views. After several ladies and gentlemen had spoken, the question was put: \"Shall we form a dramatic society?\" This decided upon, the election of officers was made. Capt. A. S. FitzSerald was unanimously elected president, and Mrs. McPeak vice-president. Miss Bertha -Moore, was elected to the dual position of sec.-treasurer, and a committee to draft a set of bye- laws will, consist of Mr. B. FitisGerald, Miss M. Moore and Mrs. FitzGerald. . Mr. J. J. Atherton was appointed acting-manager, and Mr: Claude Merrill stage-manager. The first play to be staged by the new society will be an excruciatingly funny three-act comedy, entitled \"Arabian Nights,\" the same play is this week being staged at Spokane by professionals. It is perhaps not generally known that Creston is 'particularly well off for amateur dramatic talent at the present time. Many of those who will be assigned ports in the first performance have had much experience iu these clubs and there is no reason why the theatre going public should not prepare themselves for a treat. The club is having scenery built and a handsome proscenium, and drop curtain for the new Opera House. The first rehearsal will be held this week. H. A. French aud wife were visitors to our town on Sunday. For the 17th of Ireland Arrangements are now maturing for the grand entertainment that will be put on by the ladies of the Catholic Church, on March 17th (St. Patrick's Day). The members of the newly formed Dramatic club have arranged to give their patronage and their aid. Besides a diversified program of vocal and instrumental music, three of the i members will perform that very old, but yet green and fresh farce, \"Box and Cox.\" It is also likely that a series oi tableaux will be produced. It will School Board Meeting A meeting of ratepayers was held on Saturday last to decide upon the'proposal of the school trustees to: rent and furnish a room in the Mercantile Co.'s fTDuilding for overflow pupils. There- commendation of the trustees was endorsed. The bfier of the Government t?o construct a new school house ;at a foost.of $3,500 was read to the ratepayers, 'and the offer elicited much fayorable > comment. '[ '��������� \\ A meeting, of the been called for ratepayers has March 8th, at be *��������� again a great night, all our citizen readers are t which meeting the site for, tjie new sure to make arrangements to be present, j school will be decided upon. ,In this A special meeting of tho Fruit Growths' Association of Crestou was held in the offices of Chas. O. Rodgers on Saturday evening last. The president, Mr. ;T. Cook, at once brought before the members the purpose of the meeting, which was to decide upon! the proposal of Messrs. Cloy and Sinmtonds, wholesale fruit exporters, of Calgary, to handle exclusively tne berry and fruit crop of this district for the current year. Mr. H T. Hutcheon, a representative of the firm was present, and he was invited to state his views lucidly for the benefit of the gathering, which was a thoroughly representative one. He stated that his firm was iu a position to handle exclusively tne products of this district, and that Creston fruit would be disposed of to the greater advantage of the local ranchers. Mr. Hutcheon heard the views of the local men upon the subject and he will report to his principals upon hie return. As yet nothing definite .is arranged in this matter. The president brought to the notice of the members a subject of importance that was commented upon in the ' 'Review\" two weeke ago, and that was the desirabily of gaining fcr tho district a reputation of growing the best staple line of apples. He pointed out that there was always a steady and ever increasing demand for such lines as the Northern Spy, Rome Beauty, Grimes Golden and Mackintosh Red, and as fillers he would suggest the Wagner, Jonathan, Wealthy and Ontario. He said that the ranchers were apt \"to experiment with new varieties, and whilst he did not deprecate this, he was strongly convinced, that the ..,^' public, who were the consumers, should \\ 3hrove=Tuesday B The Acme Quadrille, Club has arranged for a grand Ball to be, held on Tuesday next (Shrove, or xnora popularly know in the old country as \"pancake Tuesday\"), This .will be the last opportunity for those who love to indulge in the \"poetry of motion.\" before the mournful season of Lent. Ash Wednesday, the day following, according to the traditions and prevailing custom of the .Christian Churches, is the day that preludes a. period of mortification to the flesh to atone for the sins of the faithful and the worldln general. The glad arising from the period of penance comes with the dawn of Easter. It was' the custom in the old days to niake merry before the suffering seasoc. of Lent began, and it is therefore possible that the Shrovetide Ball of the'Acme Quadrille Club will be the means of drawing a big crowd together on \"Pancake Tuesday.\" The music will be of the best; the floor of the Opera House will be specially prepared; aud visitors from our neighboring/ towns may be assured cf a royal time. The grand ���������march will be eddied promptly at 9 o'clock, and it is particularly requested that all members/will be on time wearing their badge^. E. W.

A number of Creston and Erickson dancers went over to Port Hill on Saturday last to attend the Grand Masquerade Ball there. All report a high \\ old time. Several of the Crestou boys left here disguised as ladies, aud they played the parts at tho masque in a mantier that fooled our American cous- * ins.

Many of our; ranchers now had their orchrads planted-to S;������itzbergers, Wine- saps, Delicious, and king Davids, and undoubtedly these would in the future become stale lines,,' but it was to the markets of tho immediate future thoy were to look to for disposing of their produce. Success could be attained by co-operation, becauso money was made in the rogulax disposition of carload lota, and he failca to see how a carload order ot say, Nor/uhern SpicR could be filled if the ranchf rs wero storing up varieties for wliicl,, there was no domaud.

The regular triweekly service between Nelson and Gerrard is still in effect on Mondays. Wednesdays and Saturdays. Speaking of mining, Tom Marks (who owns a gold mine in the Hedley camp) tells us of an. incident wherein it is proof positive that dabbling in mining sometimes pays big. Briefly it is this: Norris and Rowe, the. menagerie and circus outfit, who are two well known to B.C., to need introduction, recently went \"bust\"-���������losers of $120,000. It was arranged to pay fifteen cents on the dollar to the creditors. When Mr. Rowe (the main squeeze, whole push) thought he was down and out, ho received a letter from a lawyer in Alaska, informing him that his share'in a mining property, in which he had grubstaked a man, gave him a credit of $150,000. Tho lawyer wanted to know what Rowe was going to-do about it. Rowe has X, paid his creditors 100 cents on tho dollar, retains his outfit, and is now off on tho road again. Mrs. Riel lias roturnecl from a visit to Moyio. Tom Marks Here On Wednesday night the new Opera House was packed by a large crowd to ��������� witness the first appearance in this town of Tom Marias and his company, which appeared in \"The Irish Emigrant.\" It is generally admitted that this is the best show that appeared in the town, e/o.d the.^ large audience present were loud in their applause to the various artistes and the specialty turns. The new drop curtain and proscenium of tho Amateur Dramatic Society was used for the first time, and it supplied a need that is urgently required. It has yet to be painted, but as the company carry their own scenery, the bareness of the curtain, etc., was forgiven. Of the play there is not much to be said. It has one of those plots that always appeal to the popular taste..''A little bit of love, a villain who is slimy, a ��������� soubrette Who shows her ankles and throws kisses to the audience, a misjudged hero who ought to be spanked, a cruel father who tries to trade on the virtues of his gyur-r-r-rl, a whole lot of twaddle, a comic song or two, a comic guinea who' trots out guff and birdseed��������� and there you have the modern play. We are not deprecating the performance. The atidience evidently appreciated the show, and we suppose Tout Marks is wise enough to know how to rake in the shekels, and take advantage of the popular demand. The hero, Mr. E. E. Perry, is a young man who talks through his nose and wears clothes too small for his figure. Possibly they have done duty before. He was all right on the \" Yes, 'by Gee, No's,\" and his stmt ���������; was as good as anything we have seen* but he wants to learn to sound his H's and get his pants pressed. Mr. G. C . Young, as Joseph Spracklin, the villain, was, to our way of, thinking, the most natural actor of the bunch i. Perhaps at times-he was a wee bit tob.\" ���������;.-.'; stagey, but he might be working to instructions, you know. He is aa actor all right. Mr. Chris.. C. Allen played the part of Benjamin Lovell the aged parent with an axe to grind, and it is up to him, if he wants to continue his professional career, to get a thirty cent book of elocution from j Timothy Eaton and put a'wet towel round his head and go to it. Mr. Harry Codair played two parts���������one as a waiter, and the other as as the long lost brother, who turned up in the nick of time to expose the villain.

A number of ladies and gentlemen of Ihe town have banded themselves to- } ether in a Dramatic Society, aud it is the intention to hold a dramatic entertainment in the Opera House, about once a month, the proceeds to be devoted loany worthy object that immediately presents itself. Therefore,\"a special appeal will be made to the citizens to assist ihe financial end. Those merchants *iud businoss men who have as much, or snore, interest in tho town as tho juembors of the now organization, are I' sked to donato, and for this they will ) ?coiye a quid pro quo.

It would bo criminal to expect them to bear tho initial cost of the ai'enory and prosceuinm, and it behooves all public spirited men of tho town to open up and push a good thing along. From Kaslo this week we received an epistle from our old friend Pete McGregor, who has taken exception to the poem, we published a few weeks ago anent \"Scotland\" from an Englishman's -point of view. Oh, Peter. Peter, pumpkin eater, when will you learn that there are good folk on this planet other than those that hail frae the land of parritch and kirks? He says he is sure that the poem was never written by an Englishman. That's where Peter falls own. The Englishman who wrote that could always lick Peter at any old thing���������principally politics. We are afraid our Kaslo friends have been throwing the \"harpoon\" into Pete pretty strongly since the effusion appeared in these columns. For the information of our readers who do not know Haslo Pete, we rise to remark that he is a philosopher, and he applies his philosophical brain-leaks to ordinary business. In short, he sells coal, ice and hot chestnuts in tho winter, and gratuitously dispenses hot air in the summer. That is why Pete longs for the Summer to pass, for he has been long enough iu Kuslo to toke tho hunch that he is always in trouble until tho braw breezes cool him off. 1 Mc Leod J i, MERCHANT TAILOPvS We can supply you promptlv tvith \\ Fresh Eggs, Butter j Fresh Meat | Cured Ham allu jonquil The Leading Hotel of the Fruit Belt Our Guests Call c/igain ,<3> \\wr]t OU will make no mistake when vou iiet off the train if you sign the register at the Creston Hotel.
