While the demand still keeps up for the red berries the maintenance of prices is a serious problem". The'sell- ing agency at Mission has1 gone but of business and each individual grower in that large raspberry-growing dis*- trict is marketing his own stuff, with the result that prices are being slashed merrily, and worse still, in order to be sure of selling their fruit they are consigning berates.-., to *, retailers, restaurants and even peddlers, according to information coming, in from Calgary. Blowever, the splendid selling arrangement the local union hits has so far been eosial to 'all ffl������iers^no>������B- and if the present damp spells does not have the effect of bringing in too many berries too soft for shipping, and fox* the. balance of the season the fruit holds up well, there is every reason to hope that the average price for the season will be $2.25 per crate; about 25 cents a orate higher than last year, ��������� *5?hich; ywas r.&.... siGre favorable season as to market conditions, while this year the two-fifth cup is being used as compared with the full pint in .1������1&:!^ .V'y.;,y^.,'^-',.y ��������� Practically all the -returns are now in from the strawberrie& sold through the Unioni������.iaiid..,..while -no definite figuj^s are yet available -it seems re^onahjy cei*^^ 'P^Wii' PP^iPSi.

Mrs. W. A. Pease is under Dr. Hen derson's care at present, the berry- picking rush in the extreme heat being responsible for a partial break in an otherwise rugged constitution. Miss Effle Arrowsmith, who had charge of the Sirdar school for part of last term, has been .secured for the Alice Siding school foi* thov coming year. W. C. Robinson of Cowley, Alta., was a visitor with W. A. Pease a few days the early part of the week. He was looking B.C. over with a view of moving out this way, and It Is altogether likely he will come back to make Creston Valley his home. While driving his horse out to pasture yesterday morning Dick Smith had the bnd luck to take nn unexpected tumble in the which he broke one of the bones in his right hand, and it was necpssnay to oall in Dr. Henderson to attend the Injury.

In addition to helping along tho crops It also pretty well put out a bush flro on the Victor Carr r������moh, which looked troublesome several times during the high' winds last week.

Blackberries are already moving, but the quantity of these in the Valley is not very large. Neither is the demand for them very tremendous, which happy combination makes it look safe to predict that these should bring prices about on a par with, the raspberries. The arrival of the rain wna most timely for the tomato growers, due to the fact that the prolonged dry spell hod developed a certain amount of point rot, and it is stated the moisture will effectively check the spread of it ���������or, nii least, that was the case in 1010. Those who have seen the tomato crop eay tho Valley never had a better ono ao far as quality goes, the tomatoes all showing good growth and remarkable smoothness. With all ��������� the drougth cucumbers, too, are showing up well,. and there promises to be an abundance of these to supply the market. The rain means much to tho potato crop, too, which was showing rather meagre top growth, and too many under-size spuds even for this season. Market quotations on these are $60 a ton f.o.b. OltauuKiin points. ' Customers who have looked to Creston for their annual supply of apricots will huve to go elsewhere this year, as tho Valloy has practically no ���������cots at all. Peaches, howeyor, should at least equal last year's shipping, which totalled 880 crates. -y: ������������������������������������;������������������ yyssaj .'O '-'������������������'���������Az&.t '-��������� AAAppSfi aPPp^m a-,^E*":-'-'--V X-'t '������������������i-H^Ti ,v>^^*ij^/4*isyvi APrWPmmM ">���������-; y .���������-������������������:y;vi VJi^Tr^i :'' V'yeV^SiPq ��������� ���������'"���������������������������': A^l'v^' ��������� ..���������..'������������������.'..:;3J.|.,5Jv!viJ. , .'���������.-'.'���������I . li-'i'l.f '���������"''.(l'wt il ���������'���������"���������'������������������til ' '������������������)'' Percy Bean, of thc Fcrnlo garagti. boo disposed of 15 Fords tn the district this season.

She v.as expecting von Roon. *<������ join ter at any moment, and from time to time, she kept looking round st the heavily-porliered door, through which she knew be must come. And once thus looking i}p she saw a man lift the curtain aside and for a _ second glance into the room as if in aear.'h of some one.- The room was but dimly lighted in thc corner in whicli the door stood and the man was evidently short-sighted, and peered about him through spectacles. Vie showed no sign of seeing Hilda, but Hilda saw him and recognized him aftcr a sharp effort of memory. Tic was the young, legal-looking man -whom slie had met at _ lunch at George. Ellington's house just a week previously���������the man who had seemed to be" attached to Marcia Ellington's skirts, politically at any rate, and whom Hilda had taken lo be ���������attached, or desirous of being attached to Marcia in another way. She remembered his name now���������a Mr. A.vory. ��������� She. was wondering what any friend of Marcia Ellington's could be doing in thc Amaranth' when von Koon came quietly into the room and dropped into a chair at her side. Tliey say the --that it will of the year." Yon Roon smiled���������knowingly. "'It is the privilege of newspapers to imagine knowledge," he said. "Tlte Government will not go out- ft will last precisely sixteen months from now. Abundance of time, for our purposes. Proceed; the rest, now?'* "Well, the wife is worth looking after. I sec great possibilities of getting at him through her. She has already taken a great fancy to me." "Good, good!" Tt i*i excellent���������- splendid! Cultivate her for ail she is worth. There is- no better way of getting a hold ovcr a man than*, through his wife. But now-the young man's relations? The father��������� he, too, was a member of Parliament once upon a time. You met him?" "Of course. He is a good type of the old-fashioned plutocrat���������priggish pragmatical, purse-proud, narrow��������� Radical in all sorts of ways. The sister is a fool, one ot the new super- women lot. The young people must be got away from the old influences." "'Ves. How then?" "1 have made a beginning. I havo lev them im brother's house in Curzon Street. I thought it might be. difficult, but it was easy. So, I shall have them both under my thumb���������] at any rate, under my nose.'' "Again good. Vou have done excellently." Hilda threw away her cigarette. She gave von Roon a keen glance. "Very well, then, I. want to know the purpose," she said. "Tm not going lo take a hand in any game unless I know what game it is." Yon Roon got slowly out of his chair. He bent over the table. "Come next door in ten minutes fiom now," he whispered. "Come to the small cabinet. Then you shall hear everything. Till then " He turned and lounged carel?S;,!y ofi" through the rooms beyond; Hilda heard him laughing and talking to some man whom lu* met. They went away together; she remained where she was for several minutes; then, she too, left the room. And passing along a corridor outside she turned up a flight of stairs, the entrance to which was\hid by a curtain. At the head of *the. stairs was a narrow dimly-lighted passage; she traversed Ihis until she came to another curtain behind which,., after a swill glance avound* her, she rapidly passed. It was all darkness behind that curtain, but her hand felt for and instantly found a spring catch, the presence of which no one would have observed, however closely they might l>;>\e looked; another second, and she had glided through a narrow opening*. She was no longer in the Amaranth Club, but iu the house, next door. She paused for a moment after carefully closing the. secret panel through which she had entered���������a panel of such exquisitely-finished mechanism that it opened and closed without the slightest sound���������and stood listening. Everything in that tipped region of lhc house, she. had entered was silent, as silent as tlte loneliest stretches of Hartsdale Park at midnight���������more, silent, for there the /light winds always murmured: here, in spite, of the fact that she was standing at thc very heart of Eon- don there was the stillness of the grave. The darkness, loo, was as profound as the silence���������but to Hilda neither silence nor darkness mattered. No mole knew* the ins and outs of its subterrauean fastness better than she knew the. twists and turns of the place she was in. She moved forward at last, with as sure a step as if her surroundings had been brilliantly lighted. Her hand found the rail of-a stair; she went swiftly down, as swiftly along a softly-carpeted passage which led away from its foot. At the end of a dozen paces she turned the handle of door on her right Jiand; she closed the. door behind and quickly switched on an electric light. 'The light revealed a small room, having in its centre a small-table furnished with a plentilude of \\ riling "materials. There were three or four elbow chairs around the table; on one wall was an elaborate map of London; in a revolving bookcase were several works of reference���������dictionaries, peerages, baronetages, court guides: beyond these things the room contained nothing, (To Be Continued.) 3 No Teuton Prince for Dutch The German Time-Table : On February 1 it was announced that Britain would be brought to her knees in three'months.

LITTLE WORRIES IN THE HOME These Bring the Wrinkles and Pallid Faces That Make Women Look Prematurely Old Almost every woman at the head of a home meets daily many little worries in hcr household affairs. The care of her little ones, the work about the house all contribute to these worries. Most of them may be too small to notice an hour, afterwards, but they constitute.a. con- slant strain that affects the blood and the nerves and make women look prematurely old. The effect of these little worries may be noticed in sick or nervous headaches, fickle appetite, tiredness after slight exertion, and the coming oi" wrinkles which every woman dreads. To those thus afflicted Dr. Williams' Pink Pills offer a speedy cure; a restoration of color to the checks, brightness to the eye, a hearty appetite and a .sense of freedom from weariness. -Among the many thousands of Canadian women Who have found new health and strength through these pills is Mrs. G.

AUG. 10 indlian Mtfalrm More than a couple of our readers take decided issue with Thb Review's observation on the reported recommendation of the Indian commission that some 87,000 acres be added to the present holdings of the B.C. redmen, wherein we remarked that uin view of reclamation it is to be hoped the local tribe's holdings are. not to be increased.'' The argument, advanced is that the Indian is uot an altogether undesirable citizen���������or should not be so considered if the Valley is going to stay in the berry growing business. Besides this lie tills some useful place as a vendor of fuel. particularly up to the time of sleighiug coining in whioh interval the rancher is either too bu&y or disinclined to haul wood on wheels. Too, the Indian, has not yet got. the mail-order-house buying idea very strongly implanted iu him or her, and is a business asset to some ~���������*-^..������- It is-urged, too, that the transfer of the Indian to some other point could not be accomplished without the consent of the majority of the ���������tribe, and that in view of possible reclamation making still more valuable and desirable their present holdings such favorable consent would be unobtainable for some time tu come at any rate. Some even favor not only no effort to disturb the tribe bnt would concede them a couple more thousand acres, fence it in for them and then insist on the Siwash being kept strictly at home so far as utilizing the country for other than hunting purposes. Cooped up on less than 500 acres of his own, all-year-round good land, the lot of the 160 local Siwashes is not very hopeful and if his removal is out of the question a couple of thousand more acres, selected with an eye to the reasonable welfare of the whites, might be a good all-round investment, hut only or an effective guarantee that boundary fences must be respected in every detail, and forfeiture of the added area in case of failure to utilize it for reasonably increased agricultural effort of some sort. board of trade feel sure they can induce to attend the Oreston meeting It is felt that in the presentation of the Idaho side of the case, along with the discussion of the matter as it effects this part of the couutry with the B.C. authorities who will attend the Creston meeting -the way will be materially cleared for the conference of the Canadian and TJuited States engineers whioh the minister of lauds has assured will be held in Victoria in Ootober.

With a favorable report from U.S. engineers to start with, remembering what the completed project would mean to B.C's agricultural production, and not forgetting that the project wiii in a few years return every dollar of principal aud interest spent on it, j uot even in times like these will a j really wideawake administration refuse to vote the few thousand dollars necessary to pay the very best engineers to be had to investigate this reclamation project thoroughly, and as speedily as may be, and inform a long-expectant public as to whether the job can be done satisfactorily or not. Tis������ Brainage Meet The Kootenay Flats drainage conference at Bonners Ferry on Saturday was eminently satisfactory, at least to those attending from this side of the boundary line. The meeting showed conclusively two things: The people in Idaho want complete reclamation. Thoy want it iu conjunction with thc B.C. peoplo interested, on linos approved by U.S. and Canadian engineors oonvorsant with the work. And they want tho Idaho and B.C. governments to finance the work, I'oimibnrsiiig Iheiiiselvus equably on the aoroage reclaimed on both sides of tho line. In addition to getting down to brass tacks iu this respect a strong international committee of six meinh.'iH wan ^looted to further the Hohome unitedly along lines that nm in harmony with tho wishes of both countries interested. And finally, the idea of having a nimilar conference in Croston next month was rooeivod with gi������*at satisfaction and iiHsurauco *.,,,% i i i , HI VI)llaJ<IMII/ blKl Hum JJIMJIU "JO JT.JIIJJ lier*** on that occasion to go into tho nmttitr with tho I..C i-opi*OHoiita- tiv4.fi from VkiUnriJi, whom the loci! The Reform Starta At a general meeting of the South Alberta Branch of the Canadian Patriotic Fund at Calgary last week a resolution was adopted and forwarded to Ottawa requesting the Dominion government to raise and administer the fund for the balance of the war. A study of the situation as it is disclosed in the neighboring province shows: 1. That want existed and very considerable hardship would have been entailed in many cases but for these voluntary donations. 2. That it is not the rich who have been tho heavy contributors, but the men of moderate means who can ill afford to bear fche greater part of the burden. While some suoh organization as we now have would he useful to keep tab on the situation and see to it that in deserving oases a little extra finance was authoritatively request tion od whenever and for only such time as required, under all other circumstances the maintenance of the dependents of soldiers and the soldiers themselves should bo provided by tho militia department direct.

And the decision to hold a similar meeting at Creston some date next month at which to have the B.C. and federal representatives in attendance to set forth just exactly what has been done on this side of the line and to hear what the Idaho people have' dont, in the hope 'that an ori-the-spot investigation of the project may convince that the undertaking is very much worth while, so that at the engineers', conference ~to be held at Victoria in October those gathered together on that occasion will have much bf the m.*������*������x3tt*Cm-\9--rT 4rIo#-j V**4A*F.nvi'*zA 4Vk������^r������** t'.VtvtQ 4-kJ\ V WkAIMil f UMV^A ( Mynljrs V USAt. ****f m*m**9*2 obviating the necessity of not giving a definite pronouncement on the matter until such time as it would otherwise be. necessary for them to get the facts and figures that will be forthcoming at the Creston conference.

'^.^Ri^iW'tiflp'OTaiie spoke first, giving a brief review, of. what had been done, toward reclaiming the fiats or parts of them since the early nineties. He was followed- by Robt. Stark of Creston, who gave tho audience a carefully prepared statement' of, the B.C.'side of the case as disclosed in the report of Engineer Meurling. This was ��������� followed by a statement from Engineer Jones, who has just finished compiling a statement of the matter as obtained by himself and assistants in the two seasons' tbey spent on a very complete survey . of* all the territory on the Idaho side, a synopsis of which report appeared in The Review a couple of mouths ago. Owing to the fact that ��������� Mr. Jones' had to confine his operations strictly to U.S. territory none of his plans could guarantee anything but partial reclamation, and even to be sure of this it would be necessary to divert the Kootenay into the Columbia River at Canal Flats on the Canadian Bide���������irdetait of course he was unable to speak authoritatively upon owing to it not being on the U.S. side. In addition, his reports all provide for quite an elaborate system of interior drainage with the accompanying pumping plants aud necessary, employment of men to look after them, <>utl it was this, feature that seemed to swing the meeting over to complote reclamation or nothing. A great range of questions were put to and answered by Mr. Jones, who maintained throughout that partial reclamation for a starter was worth while. He floured 01,000 acres in Idaho could thus be brought under cultivation from two out of throo to six out of every seven years according to which one of liln eight plana were worked out, and at from ap avernge cost of ^25 tp $08 per aero. , Tito motion to, organize tho intcr- flU.)*UUi.\ COtiikft'tliy.u Wittm iitt'xUUHhiitlU-- ally received.

They contested every ...foot b������ the St. Jiboi area at thc northern end of thc battlefield, with the-utmost tenacity and valor, v but because of the superior German artillery on theVMessincs- "Wytsehaete ridge all llieir efforts were fruitless and thousands of men died in opposing* a further German advance. Their sacrifice was not made iu vain. The ridge and a daily increasing-.part-of the plain of Flanders beyond it are. again in the possession of the Belgian people, while the enemy, brutal and sullen, as al- -wa3's in defeat^ shells With long- rrange guns the villages in the area from which lie has been driven, in. thc hope of preventing the reoccupation ot what, in most cases, arc mounds of shapeless ruin, like those of the Somme and Arras regions. j In driving out thc invaders, the Canadians have done notable work not on thc fighting front but in the engineering,' roadb'uilding and railway construction departments. Some of the mines which have so utterly changed the outline of thc ridge were, completed before the Canadian left for thc Somme last fall. For mouths, thousands of Canadians, commanded and officered by former railway contractors and engineers, have been .adding, to the mileage of the light railways in the Ypres salient. During a brief visit to the Belgian front, the Canadian overseas correspondent watched a railway construction battalion, which was recruited in northern Ontario, pushing" forward a light railway to a town on the new British front. The work of grading and track laying was proceeding under fire from the enemy's heavy arlillerj*. Casualties are inevitable, but thc men work with a will, knowing that by llieir labors the feeding of the guns is made possible. There arc now ovcr 100 miles of light railway in. the second ;u*my area, some of it double track. The ��������� colonel in charge of the,work __of extending the line to the new front, was formerlyV a contractor for the construction of yVpart yyof. the National Transcotitiiicntal :stnd is accus&med to handling in en in thousands, as he has to do ou the rush job now in hand. With little military,..4training, his men work like veterans*. XfJntil lately building railways in a/ salient was more perilous. Now the track?- when put down, has a fair chance of^ staying where it is put. The Canadian surgeons and nurses in the Canadian casualty clearing station in the salient have been as effective in caring for the wounded from thc battlefield of Messines as arc railway builders in providing facilities fou-fce^mg the guns. Over one-fourth of all the wounded havc been cleared from the Canadian stations. That meant great exertion j jfer a long stretch of hours on the part of thc staff, but this was borne gladly. By far the greater number of the wounded had been hit by shell splinters. There were few bullet wounds from machine guns or rifles, and scarcely any inflicted by bayonets, save in the case of Germans treated. This' proves lhat thc last- minute plans of the enemy For the defence of the ridge failed to work. Goes Through, aV House if Found Its Path, Says Correspondent The recent offensive, actions have, brought some valuable in tensi fie a- tion of old ideas. Most sensational among these ��������� is the use of thc tank. This forty ton monster,, rolling- along- literally inside its own trail, will go almost ��������� anywhere with irresistible force. It will lean against a tree aud smash it down; it will climb against a house*, break in the wail and pass through the debris; it will level barbed .wire entanglements, and it will cover up shelter entrances. ��������� A general telling of one tank said: ''Our infantry.'captured and organized one end of a trench the Germans retaining the. most of their works. Along came a tank, and starting at the opposite end. of the trench, wiggled toward our corner. i-The trench was obliterated and those of.the occupants who were not killed or injured ran toward us, only too glad to surrender. We took 387 of tlicm prisoners." But oncvwell directed, delayed fuse projectile will cripple a tank, and there are other means of stopping them.

This amount of oil represents more than 1,000 tons in weight, but the principal feature is that the production is increasing. The increase in output is sliowmjvy the fact that of thc 200,000 gallons shipped since 1914, the larger amount was shipped this year. Though thc oil "boom" evaporated some time ago, and the general public has largely lost interest in the situation, the railway figures show that a real producing field is being- developed.

They were 'officers j who had seen service fighting the Huns m thc limitless regions of the an* on the western front. Previous to their arrival it was announced that the British government had appropriated millions���������one sum mentioned was $10,000,000���������to develop a reserve force of air pilots in Canada. Following- the arrival of the officers, 80 I\.C.O's., expert mechanics in aeroplane construction, arrived in Toronto, and were billeted at Exhibition camp. Since then other parties of mechanics have arrived from England,; making a total of. over 250. The work of organization commenced right away. The Imperial munitions board was entrusted with the spending of the money by thc Imperial government. "The one object of the organization is to make pilots for overseas service," slated Major' D. L. Allen. The first draft of men is ready for- overseas. There are 16 of them aud they will leave at once. TJp to the present time, 1,700 men havc joined the Royal Flying Corps, either as cadets for* training as pilots or as mechanics to take care of lhe machines. Of these recruits, Lieut. Daniel, officer in command of western recruiting*,-has sent over 300 men cast in two months. There are three camps in operation, Camp Borden, * Long j Branch and Deseronto, which is now js j named Camp Mohawk.

This is thc administration centre for the whole Dominion Ro3*al Flying Corps. Major Allen explained the organization under the direction of thfl headcjuarlers staff. There, are two branches of the service, one is the aerial organization and thc other is the aerial equipment. The first part has to do with recruit in;**, tunning, technical instruction, or the making 1 of pilots and mechanics, the second has to ilo with equipment, stores and oiduauce. Thc feature of the central organization on Church street consists in the charts on the office walls. By a- card system wherein cards of various colors held in neat wooden slots, every machine in service, with a description of the engine propelling the machine, . is tabulated. Each squadron is distinctly tabulated, with the numbers of machines and engines ;ir its disposal. F.ven those in the repair shops are set out on card charts.
