Forsyth Smith, Dominion fruit trade commissioner in Gr< at Britain, gave an interest account of fruit marketing method.* in lhe old country and alao named a list of thu must popular varieties over there. Space did not permit of including these ■remarks iu our account of the meeting in our last issue. . Mr. Smith said that it was impossible to sell any amount of fruit outright in Eug and. Tbe consignment system there was the common established practicee, but it was entirely different in its working out •nd results from the consignment system aB used in Belling fruit on tbe prairiee, wbere the market iB right at baud and there ie no need of ueing it. If the (fonadian Arms had tbeir own representatives in tbe old country direct sales from Canada would be more practicable and tbe fruit could be Bent to tbe proper markets when required. Fruit auclioDB were beid at Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow aod Southampton. Their advantages are quick distribution, i.e., tbe primary disposal of from 8000 to 30,000 boxes per week under normal con- ditiont, tbe fixing of values by concentrated bidding of a large proportion of the d'uying power in the ren spective districts, the fact tbat tbese prices made in open auction are aln ways-subject to verification by tbe government representative on behalf of the shippers, tbe compre- hensivneees of the buying capacity represented in an auction salesroom embracing botb higb and low grade demand, and perhaps as important as anything, the special opportunity offered to good packers to build up an asset of increasing value by impressing the same roomful of large buyers week after week and moutb after moutb witb tbe fact thnl tbeir paek is uf exceptional uud dependable quality. It is particularly important that shippers should realize, thut British buyers carefully inspect euch lot offered for sale nt the docks; lhat samples are opened ui> in lhe salesroom before the bidding begins, uud that tbe result of tli" system ts thut demand is concentruird upon 'desirable packs aud directtd away from iuferior ones. lt is impossible for shippers ar customed to carlol selling in this coubtry to realize that every separate package regularly offered tin the British market has its own particular place iu Ibe buyers' scale of, valueB, and th.t tbe accumulating effect of the constant cartful judgment passed upon each lot tbat appears insures for worthy pack" a dependable premium over less deserving ones. A large proportion of anadian packers consider iheir re* spective packs as high in standard aa any on the market The British buyer knows definitely whether this is so or not, and just wbere each one should be ranked in comparison with hia competitors, and it would bea liberal eduoation in market requirements if our shippers could have an opportunity to discuss com* parative values witb an alert buyer. The realization of tbe facts so disclosed would change his whole ouU look as a shipper, and he would no longer be tempted to lower hie standard in tbe face of the certainty that suoh lowering would be directly translated into actual money loss. There are brands on the English market tbat regularly sell at a prem- i im of several shillings a box over others of tbe same grade. Tbere is one outstanding instance of a barrel apple packer wbo never fails to get a premium of tbree shillings to five shillings per barrel over tbe market range for the eame variety, and whose premium at times has reached fifteen shillings.

Not uo iu Russia. It's (ho other way around iu that country. They stick the letter onto the stamps. Indeed, it tuok 100 stamps, worth 900,000 before iho war, to bring a letter from Russia to Nick Moore, 227 East Winnifred street. Mr, Moore got the imposing roll of stamps today, unwound the roll, and fouud inside a letter from his mother in Russia. Four hundred stamps aud each stamp worth 250 rubles! Mr. Jljii'd siir.itili.d hi. lu.iJ a his eyes surveyed the four big sheets of stamps. "Let's see," he said, aud he began to figure. It was too much for him, so he took the bundle of stamps up to Postmaster C. J- Moos to find ite value. Mr. Moos aud J. G. Tegner of the Produce Exchange bank figured out that before the war these 400 stamps would have represented a fortune of $50,000. Think of it,$50,000 to get -b letter to the United States! But time does cbange. The stamps are worth only about 75 cents in American money, so greatly has the value oi the ruble fallen, Years ogo when Mr. Moore was in Russia, it took only tbe equivalent A SIGN OF THE TIMES of 10 cents in American money to send a letter to this country, ln other words, about a fifth of a ruble. Now it takes 100,000 rubles. The letter was addressee' to Mr, Moore in care of L. Akkerman, his cousin, 140 South Wabash street, and ame from Russian Poland.

BEGAN AS OFFICE BOY, IS NOW GENERAL MANAGER John J. Scully Becomes Gen. Manager of C.P.R. Eastern Lines. The Canadian Pacific operates something like 20,000 miles of rail- tnstii .md it.s* employees number something like 80,000. On suoh a long road, and amidst suoh a large number of co-workers, ono can only roach distinction and success by hard work anil consistent application. _Tohn J. Scully, who has jnst been appointed Oenenil Manager for Eastern Lines of the Canadian Pacific Hallway, is a typical example of railway men who clim>) to the lop of the ladder. On January 4th, 1887, when in his fifteenth year, young Scully! embarked on his railroading career when he joined the Canadian Pacific se offloe Soy in the offices of the Car Accountant at Montreal. In February, 1888, he became a elerk in the ■ame offiee. Moving to Farnham, Quebec, in Jnne, 1888, he became clerk there to the Assistant Superintendent. In August, 1890, he returned to Montreal headquarters as elerk to the Superintendent. April, 1891, saw him return to Farnham to hie former position in that town. Mr. Scully joined the Mechanical Department of the railway at Montreal in March, 1893, as clerk. In September, 1894, he was transferred to Toronto Junction as elerk in the Mechanical Department there. Evidently Mr. Scully made good headway at Toronto Junction, for in March, 1898, he was appointed assistant to the Master Mechanic. In August, 1901, he was promoted to be assistant to the Master Mechanic at Winnipeg. Mr. Scully gained wide experience in Western Canada. In August, 1902, he became chief clerk in the General Superintendent's office at Winnipeg. In June, 1903, he became Assistant Superintendent fer the Western Division. Promotions following were: July, 1903, chief elerk te Assistant General Manager, Winnipeg; April, 1904, Assistant Superintendent •- at Brandon; August, 1904, Superintendent at Brandon; November, 1906, Superintendent at Kenora; May, 1910, Superintendent Western Division; July, 1910, General Snperin- _._,-. - - - Biwii«M JOHN J. SCULLY April, 1922, General Superintendent at North Bay for Algoma Division. Some few years ago George H, Ham visited one of the towns where Mr. Scully was stationed. A lady friend was speaking to George about the town, and telling him about its many fine qualities, "and one never need an alarm clock in our honse,'' she continued . "Tou are up with the sun, I suppose," said George. "No," was the reply, "We're up with John J. Scully. Every morning at half past sever sharp, winter and summer, he goes past our door, and that is our alarm." "John J. Scully is a great worker, and one of the best of men," addtd George. Mr. Scully's wide experiencs ia Bast and West will be a great cqui- si tion to him in dei'ing with .he many problems of his present position. The new General Manager of the Eastern Lines, O.P.R., is very popular, and has received congratulations from all over the country on hfs promotion. He succeeds Mr. Alfred Price, who after 40 years' service with the C.P.R., has relinquished his duties on the i.dvice of his physicians and has bcen grant- at extended leave Sri absence. -** His excellency tbe governor«gen» I eral's silver medals, which are i awarded to the five leading students in the province, with the proviso ; that no two medals are to be given j one school, have been awarded as | follows.

Tnose present were President E. F. Laws, Mrs. Laws and Messrs. F. Claik, A. R. Mudie, C. C. Heaven and Col. Hill. Mrs. Laws reported for tbe special finance committee as having interviewed a number of business men and others, whu had responded most generously towards tbe prize list with cash and goods, the equivalent of cash. The latter will be awarded as spcial prizes. The Canadian Bank of Commerce had stated that it is its intention to donate a cup as a special prize. The exhibit for wbicb it will be competed will be decided later. A resolution was passed stating that tbe directors wish to express tbeir thanks for tbe generous manner in whicb the citizens had donated so liberally towards tbe prize list. The secretary was instructed to write to Mr. Freeland and request that the display of ores shown at Nelson recently be exhibited at the fair. President Laws reported tbat the Grand Forks Cooperative Growers' exchange bad offered tbree prizee of $10, 80 and $2.50 for tbe apples packing contest. Col. Hill and C. C. Heaven were appointed a committee to interview the city council and request that tbe second day of the fair, September 29, be proclaimed a civic holiday.

C. OFFICE: COLUMBIA AVENUE AND LAKE STREET. FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1922 The city council during the past three or four months has been working on a scheme that seems to be attractive on paper, and if figures are truthful, as they are reputed to be, it should work out advantageously to the ratepayers in practice. We refer to the project of the city obtaining its water supply, or the greater part of it, by a gravity system instead of by pumping, as is now the case. The subject has now been discussed at the by-weekly meetings all through the dog days, and even prior to the dog days. Possibly the council is watching for somo sign of approval from the taxpayers b3fore it commits itself in the matter. The taxpayer can not approve or condemti before the facts are laid before him. This ls the object of the statement that foi lows. quired for $10,000. The construction of the system would probably cost another $10,000, making the total cost of it $20,000. The Granby property is assessed at $17,500— $10,000 on improvements and $7500 on land, and the company pays a school tax on $12,- 500 at 15 mills of $187.50 and a government tax on a like amount at 10 per cent of $125, the two taxes amounting to $312.50. Under municipal ownership of this property the city would lose the school tax and would have to pay the government tax. Summarizing the cost of the sysiem we arrive at this result: To take care of the sinking fund and-interest charges at 6 per cent on the $20,000 investment would require on annual expenditure of $1,867.70. This sum plus the $312.50 difference in taxes makes $2180. If we add $320 for upkeep of the system, we have a total yearly expenditure of $2500, or $50,000 for twenty years, against $100,000 under the pumping system, making a saving of $50,000. If we cut this saving in half owing to supplemental pumping during the summer months when Mr. Atwood is using a portion of the water for irrigation purposes, there still remains a saving of $25,030, whioh certainly makes the] project worthy of serious consideration. The council's contemplated project provides for a gravity system from Mill and Hull creeks to the city reserAoir, a distance of about a mile and a quarter. The water application un Mill creek is completed so far as submitting it to the water board is concerned; and the board has expressed willingness to To finance the undertaking it has been suggested that serial debentures for $20,000 be issued, $1000 to ba redeemed each year out of the current year's revenues. This plan would reduce the interest charges and lessen the cost of the system. SEE E. G. HENNIGER COMPANY Grand Forks, B. C. Before Buying Yonr SEED GRAIN and GARDEN SEEDS S. T.

In connection with the Mill creek negotiations are under way with the Granby company to acquire its rights. An application for irrigation rights by C. A. S. Atwood for the water in Mill creek, now pending before the board, also enters into fie negotiations. Measurement taken on Mill creek in July, 1912, showed 300,000 gallons of water per day, although recent measurements show only 90,- 000 gallons per day available from both creeks. At the rate of 60 gallons per person per day, . whicli is the provincial government's basis of water rentals, the supply would provide domestic water for 1500 people. At the present rate for pumping at 2£ cents per kilowatt hour, it would cost $5.25 per day to pump chis amount of water. This sum would pay interest and sinking fund on an investment of $20,000, While it would be necessary to supplement the present flow by pumping during i lie summer months owing to the large^amount nf watei used for lawn and garden sprinkling, *, et during many months of the year there •vould lie au auapie supply of water from these ■.reeks., and the quality would be much su- p.rior to the river water. their approval; and any business left an incoming council by an outgoing council usually dies a uatural death. GRAND FORKS Transfer Company DAVIS 8 HANSEN, Propi In Paris, when a street car is full, the driver hangs out a sign saying "Complet," and the car does not stop for passengers. A time- honored joke on the green tourist is to tell him of the wonders of "Complet" and direct him where he can get a car for the place. Of course the tourist waits an exasperating time for a "Complet" car to take him aboard. Then doubtless he sees the joke, and would like to find thejoker. There is yet the Atwood application to be c insidered. The water board seems to be ii.iwilling to decide between his application a id the city's claim, and has adviced tho city i ) enter into some kind of au agreement with him. Mr. Atwood is willing to relinquish his ■laim on condition that he is given the use of the water for irrigation purposes for eleven hours per day during the four summer months. This would give the city the use of the wa^er for thirteen hours per diem during these months and all the time during the remaining eight months.

This year more power will be required, and in future the power bill for pumping is not likely to run under $5000. In twenty years this would mean an expenditure of .$100,000. It is estimated that the gravity system can be installed and maintained at an annual cost of $2500, or $50,000 forthe twenty years, thus effecting a saving to the ratepayers of $50,000 during that period.

M*wmmm pEW Canadians arc aware that * among the landmarks of United States history that stand on Canadian soil is the house in which John Brown, of American civil war fame hatched thc conspiracy that led to his •wing hanged and that helped to precipitate thc great struggle between the North and South. The house stands at Chatham, Ontario, within a stone's 'hrow of thc C.P.R. station, and in plain view of those who pass through. According to local tradjtion the house was one of thc more imposing residences of the town when, 60 years ago, John Brown and his friends met in one of its rooms to arrange his anti- slavery crusade. To-day somewhat diminished from its original imposing proportion the building houses the towerman who is on duty at the Immediately adjacent street crossing. Sixty years and more ago, says the 'Gait Reporter," the present structure was a four-tenement building, and one of the "show places" in Ihe older portion of Chatham. Between 25 ami 30 years ago, when the C.P.R. was run through Chathami -half of the building was torn down. Still later, tbe remaining two tenements were converted into a single residence; and as such thc building survives to-day. Chatham in thc two decades preced ing the Civil War, was one of lhe northern terminals of thc celebrated "underground railway" organized American abolitionists to facilitate the escape of negro slaves to Canada. Large numbers of the escaped slaves settled in "Windsor, Chatham, and various points in Essex and Kenl counties, and several townsites were laiijniftit at that time as model negro communities. These townsites arc still shown on old maps, but the communities themselves unlike Topsy, never "growed," or, if they attained any proportions have, with one or two exceptions, long since dwindled into insignificance, with the departure of the greater portion of the colored population. In the latter 50's, however, Southwestern Ontario contained a large negro clement, and many of the escaped slaves had established themselves in business and were amDitious, well-educated and well-to-do. So when "Ossa- watomie" Brown, nursing his daring scheme of freeing thc slaves at a single stroke, looked about for support, he turned naturally to the negro settlements in Southwestern Ontario for funds and helpers. The exact date of trie conference at which the date was planned is not preserved in the local tradition. It seems probable that John Brown visited Chat- bam on several occasions in connection with his work for the slaves. The conference probably took place late in 1858. or early in 1859. The Chatham structure is often carelessly referred to as "thc Holden house." Thc owner, however, was a colored man named Eli Holton. Hoi toll was present at the meeting held by Jobn Brown. So was Isaac Holden, another prominent colored man. Both were big men, physically, and leaders in I thc colored community. E. C. Cooper ,|-id a little man named Harris, with si-Vral others, took part in the confer ence. To wjiat extent Brown secured support, financial and otherwise, is not known. Thc details of the meeting were, naturally, kept secret at the time; and what little tlie publii ultimately knew came out, most of it, after the raid. It was on Oct. 17, 1859, that the Chatham conference bore fruit in the startling raid on Harper's Ferry, in Northern Virginia, where Brown, with several of his sons and a number of other white men, seized the national armory and issued a proclamation calling upon thc slaves to rise in insurrection against their master. Thc raid in a few hours spread consternation, not merely throughout Virginia, but throughout the United States. Lt.-Col. Robert E. l_ee, however, arrived with a detachment of marines, thc armory was recaptured, and Brown and a few of his companions were taken prisoners. Brown was hanged at Charleston, Virginia, Dec. 2, 1859. A few months later, Abraham Lincoln, at his Cooper Institute speech at New York, referred lo Brown's raid in the following words: "John Brown's effort was peculiar. It was not a slave insurrection it was an attempt by white men to get up a revolt among the slaves, in which the slaves refused to participate. Tn fact, it was so absurd that the slaves, with all their ignorance, saw plainly enough it could not succeed.' Within a little more than a year of that speech, and within two years of the raid, Lincoln was in thc White House, and the Southern States were seceding. However thinking men might condemn his folly, the Northern States generally regarded Brown as a martyr, and "John Brown's body lies a- mouldcring in the grave, but his soul goes marching on," became the battle song of the soldiers who were destined a few years later, to compel thc sur render at Appomatox of Brown's en" queror. Season's Prospects of Fruit and Vegetables The July fruit and vegetable re» pojt of the fruit branch of tbe Do minion department of agriculture is full of matter of importance to grow. rs and shippers. Apples on the whole promise exceedingly well in Ontario, although Spy, Baldwin and Greening promise to be light. In the other apple growing provinces a crop 25 per cent lighter than last year is in dicated. Peaches and plums promise well ia Ontario; so too do cherries and currants, while grapes and raspberries are likely to prove a fairly good crop, but pears appear to be be low the average. A Itirgcx acreage than usual has been sown to onions and one per cent less to potatoes, The prairie prov- nces, British Cduinbia, and the Maritime provinces all show a rather larger decrease in the acreage devoted to potatoes, and Quebec shows an increase of 6 per cent over last year. In British Columbia peaches, plume and prunes promise to be better than the average; aprioots raspberries and CAMPERS The woods are yours to enjoy, but only if you keep them green PUT YOUR FIRES OUT currants about an average; cherries fair and loganberries light. An increase of the acreage devoted to onions is reported. Taking Canada as a whole, 703,600 acres are covered by potatoes this year, compared with 701,912 acres last'year, being an increase of 1688 acres. Returning to apples, the total production last year in the Ave apple growing provinces was 4,045,813 barrels against 3,382,510 in 1920. Tha care that is required in packing and shipping fruit to avoid damage is emphasized, and the arrangements that have been made by the branch for transportation by lots are set forth, with particular reference to the distribution of British Qoluiubia fruit in the prairie provinces, Attention is directed to the provisions of the recently passed act regulating tho sale aud inspection of root vegeta • bles, as they affect potatoes and onions. FOSTER'S FORECAST Irish newspapers follow up tbt careers of Irishmen who leave the Green Isle. The Irish Independent had the following Item a few days ago: Sir Herbert Samuel Holt, of Montreal, whose eldest son, Capt. H. P. Holt, M.C., is to marry Aileen Elizabeth, elder (laughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Cairns, of Montreal, is a man of considerable standing in Canadian commercial circles. He is a banker and railway engineer, and, besides being President of the Royal Bank of Canada, is • director of the C.P.R. He is an Irishman, being born in the Co. Kildare in 1856, the son of the late Mr. Grattan Holt. Capt Holt was In the 3rd Dragoon Guards. J. M. Gilmour, chief cleric in ths C.P.R. general offices at Lethbridge, has Icen transferred to the aame position in the superintendent's office at Medicine Hat. J. H. Fair- ley, chief clerk at Edmonton, will succeed Mr. Gilmour at Lethbridge. The former is being replaced in Edmonton by S. C. Connelly of Medi- Aie Hat. J. M. Gilmour was the first chief clerk in the Lethbridge division, having be-in placed here to open the office August 1, 1914. He has been with Supt. C. D. Macintosh since that date. He has always taken a keen interest in the activities of the C.P.R. Social and Athletic club. No man in Canada has the reputation of equalling Geo. H. Ham, of the Canadian Pacific Railway Co.," as a raconteur and a wit. Sir Thos. White once called him "a great national asset." Mr. Ham added that he was glad that Sir Thomas had fortunately not forgotten the "et." Even in the hospital undergoing an operation for appendicitis, Mr. Ham sustained his reputation, as his best story, probably, will show. When he lost consciousness, he says, his last thought was "ThiB is eternity." "When 1 recovered from the effects of the opiate, I found myself in a darkened room, and wondered where I was and what it was all about. The kindly-featured nurse quickly discovered that my consciousness had returned, and came to my bedside, and then I remembered everything. 'But why this dark room? It was early morning when they operated on me, but now it can't be night.' "'No, it isn't,' she seriously responded, 'but we were afraid of ths shock you might get.' "'Why, what shock?' "'Well, there was a big firt just pcross the street, and ws were afraid if you awoke, and saw the flames, you might think that the operation hadn't been successful.' "That shows you what it is to have a reputation." The Commercial Cable Company and C.P.R. Telegraphs have taken over the Postal Telegraph Service in Newfoundland and are now handling all business over the Newfoundland government's cables, and land lines. Washington, July 31.—For the last ten d-sys of July about the average rain of the past three months is expected. A moderately severe storm period will center on July 24, pruduc ing some rain but less than usual. North of latitude 36, between meridian 90 and Rockies' crest, low temperatures near July 24, preceded by stormy weather and followed by very high temperatures; moderate rainss except that rain will be short in the best corn states of that divis- on. Fair crop weather for sowing winter grain, but it will not make good fall pasture except in Canada. North of latitune 36 and west of Rockies' crest, low temperatures near July 22 and very high after 25; not much hope for rain; not good condi tions for rowing winter grain and it will not make good fall pasture; storms only moderate; not a drouth jno evaporation, only a shortage ef ' rain. Whatever the volume of the coal and grain business this fall, the Canadian Pacific would be in position to handle it. This was the assurance given by Grant Hall, vice- president of the company, at Calgary. Mr. Hall is on his annual tour. He is in a most hopeful frame of mind regarding the crop situation in the three western provinces. Present prospects, ho stated, were that there would bs a fair average crop. "No, I do not anticipate any complications arising on this side owing to the strike among United States shopmen," he remarked in reply to a question. "There is no occasion to think this at the present time," he added. Assistant Superintendent W. M. Neal of the C.P.R., who is leaving Toronto, to become general superintendent of Algoma district with headquarters at North Bay, and H. J. Humphrey, superintendent of the Trenton division of the C.P.R., who is to succeed Mr. Neal, were entertained to dinner by C.P.R. officials at Toronto recently. Mr. Neal was presented with silver candlesticks and Mr. Humphrey with an umbrella. A meeting of a committee ef citi- tens named to consider the building of a Seamen's Institute at Quebec, on the site in the harbor secured from tht Government, was held recently at the Royal Bank building. Mr. J. T. Ross presided over the assembly, and a letter was read from Commander Elliot of the Canadian Pacific Steamships, stating that he was authorized by Mr. George M. Bosworth, on behalf of Mr. E. W. Beatty, president of the C.P.R., to say that the latter company would subscribe $6,000 towards the building, provided that the remainder of thf amount required for the purpose ls obtained from other source*.

IN Canada's gradual return to industrial activity and resultant prosperity, the automobile factories of the country arc taking a by no means unimportant part. Their shipments to foreign countries, and particularly to other parts of tlio Brilifl'i Empire arc an increasing factor in trade development. The .ihove photograph shows a train of 25 cars of Studebaker automobiles which recently left the Stude- bakcr factor*. ;ii Walkerville, Ont., where the automobiles were built, on a lung journey over the C.P.R. to London, England. ** Tlr was only part of tbt shipment, fifteen other carloads havi-a* gone forward very shortly afterwards. Cars shippe■' overseas require far different treatment than (hose shipped by rail. In the first place, an export car is enclosed in a huge wooden case, sturdily bound and bolted together so that ii has ample strength to withstand the rough handling it must contend with in being hoisted into perhaps shipped overland if its destination happens to be :he hold of a shfjj, then rehoisted out upon the wharf and an inland town. In order to crate the car, the wheels are removed, top and windshield taken off, and every device employed toward making thc packing as compact as possible. Compactness is desired for two reasons. First, to prevent play in the case; nnd second, to minimi.** the ocean freight charges," for- steamship companies differ from the railroads in that they fix their rates on the basis of cubic feet, instead of so much per pound of weight. Many precautions in export boxing are exei cised in order to regulate the contact of salt air with the finish of the car. The surfaces of all metal parts ire protected by a coating of grease. The lining of the case with tar paper lends further protection. BIDE THEBE ON CLEVELAND IT brings tho whole country for miles around within easy reach. .Havo you seen the new models'!
