By-laws 11 7 and 116 dealing I with the matter were read a second I and third time. Mr. F. R. E. DeHart wailed on the council to ascertain what would I be their probable altitude towards (the building of the much-talked-of hotel at the corner of the city park. \ The plans exhibited by Mr. DeHart accompanying which was n sketch | showing the front elevatibn of the ��� building in colors, were (or a magnificent and imposing fire-prooi hotel on strictly modern lines, to cost about $100,000. The plan had been cleverly adapted so as to lay wholly within the triangular ' block of land held bv the People's Trust Co., and without infringing upon the city a property at all as had been at first suggested. It would . contain from 90 to 100 good bed rooms, and all "outside" rooms, all large in size, and mostly with bathrooms in connection. ~ The building would come down to the water's edge, but a balcony the entire length of the building would overlook the water and afford a pleasant and beautiful lounging place, with a fine view up the lake. The present entrance to the promenade leading to lhe Aquatic Building would of course, be closed but a unique and ingenious feature suggested-by Mr. DeHart, was an archway under the Abbott St. wing of the building. This archway was designed purposely to afford an imposing public entrance to the Park. In presenting the plans Mr. De- Hart said he had always held strongly to the view that a tourist * hotel for Kelowna must be on the laka shore. The lake was the city's principal asset and the strongest attraction to lhe touristSywho would use the hotel. The balcony and windows along the front of the hotel he est mated would accomodate about 2000 people on the occasion of waler sports. Turning from the discussion ol the proposed hotel, the council look up the question of the reception uf lhe Duke of Connaught next Saturdny week, October 5th. Mayor Jones said lhat an address hod been drawn up and at present was in the hands of a firm of lithographic artists. He had also been making arrangements'for a selection of the choicest fruil of lhe district for presentation lo His Royal Highness. Aid. Copeland announced that he and Aid. Taylor had made a selection of views of the district which were being mounted in an album to be presented wilh the address. 1 he route lo be taken by the party in their short automobile lour around lhe disirict was left for further consideration. Reopening of Gymnasium in New Quarters The^Fire Brigade boya are making preparations just now for the recommencement ol the gymna- tiuin. The room in the high School which they occupied last year is not now available, but they have made arrangements to rent lhe old cannery building on Abbott Street for the winter season. There i9 one large room which is vety well suited foi the purpose and this is being fixed up ready for the opening, which takes place on Wednesday next, October 2nd. A charge of $6 is to be made for season tickets. Messrs. Foote and Chappel have been secured as instructors. Arrangements are being made to hold classes for school-boys and separate classes for ladies. Letter Box to be Placed on Wharf. An agitation has been going on for some time through the Board of Trade to provide a means for overcoming the nuisance which now exists in connection with posting letters on the s'.s. " Okanagan" so as to catch the north bound mail in the morning. Owing to the uncertainty about the time of arrival of the boat, a great deal of time is lost every week over this matter. The Board of Trade after discussing the problem made a requisition to the postal authorities for a mail box to be placed upon the wharf. This could be emptied by the mail clerk on lhe boat so that no wailing around would be necessary. The secretary of the Board of Trade haa this week received a communication from Mr. J. O. McLeod, inspector..of post offices, stating that the request is being taken up at headquarters and. will in all probability be complied wilh in the near future. " Sergeant Brue," lhe famous augter provoking comedy which is being presented at the Opera House lo-night affords ample scope for the fun-makers of the Pollard's Co.

A number of our residents arc making up a parly to go lo the Ncv Westminster one, taking advantage of the through car from Okanagan Landing. A contract was lei lo tylr.

F. Charlan, th* Dominion tobacco expert is to make nn examination and report on the tobacco possibilities of British Columbia, and get in the way they should go, those who have started wilh tobacco. Kelowna Tobacco Crop [Excels Expectations Tobacco Company Well Satisfied With Season's results��� Year's Crop Will Reach 125,000 lbs. of High Grade Leaf The British North American Tobacco Company have now brought I heir harvesting ipernlions in the disirict to a most snccesslul and gratifying conclusion. Some 110 acres were planted out at lhe beginning of the season and the yield from this acreage has been so entirely satisfactory, not only in quantity, but in tbe excellent and uniform quality, that preparations are being made to conduct operations next year on a far more extensive scale, and the coming spring will see not less than 375 acres planted out to tobacco on the Company's own farms. To house the enormous crop from this large acreage over thirty new barns will be erected entailing an expenditure of about $25,000. The tobacco grown this year has been chiefly Comstock Spanish and a new importation of Havana seed which latter has given very satisfactory results. An experiment which has alio turned out a great success was made in growing Sumatra leaf for wrapping purposes. This was grown under a tent of cheese-clolh, and has produced some remarkably |fine specimens. The success of lhe experiment has induced the manager, Mr. A. W. Bowser, to make arrangements for the covering in, in the same way of 35 acres. It is interesting to note lhat for this purpose, about 150,000 yards of cheese-cloth will be required,. I he company now own over 500 acrea of land in lhe neighborhood .which will in time be devoted entirely to the development of the industry. This includes the 311 acres comprised in the Dickson Bros. Ranch at Ellison, an option on which was taken last fall. The purchase of this property lias now been completed, and the entire available land is at present being plowed up in readiness for next year's crop. The rest of lhe property is to be cleared of brush during the winter and brought into cultivation. The location of the C.N.R. station, il is stated, has been fixed on the Price Ellison properly, across the road from the Dickson ranch, thus affording every facility for shipping the crop into town for manufacture into the finished product. A serious difficulty which the company hns had lo face in bringing the workpeople has been to find hous-ng accomtnoda ion for ihem. Mr..Bowser is meeting this difficulty by having erected a low of ten cottages on Coronation avenue. These w.ll be le to the company's workpeople at ia sou-be rents. A large lodging home it alao to be built for the single men, where a club room, billiard table, etc., will be provided. The contractor for these is Mr. Geo. A. Bowser, a brother of the mnnnger, and already one of lhe cottages is in lhe hands ol the plasterers. There is no dmil ting lhe energy of the manager, A. W Bowser, and now lhal lhe company has decided lo make its headquiirlers in Kelowna, he is leaving no stone unturned lo establish the industry on n firm basis. Mr. Bowser has just returned from a visit to Vancouver where the compiny m i itains a branch office and warehouse for supplying small orders quickly from stock. Lasr year.it will be remembered, the company purchased the 168 acie farm belonging to Mr. Thos. Renwick, at Benvoulin, and it is there that lhe bulk of this year's crop was grown. Wjthin the last few days purchase has also been made from Mrs. Cather of the | Springwood farm of 19 acres, and j 13 acres.from Mr. Alex. Cowan.' Both of these farms adjoined the I Renwick properly, ana1 their ac-| quisition gives lhe company possession of the entire block of 200 acres, including some of the finest land in lhe district. To manufacture the product from thia large area of land is impossible of course with the present factory accommodation, which has already proved far too small for the company's requirements, so fast h.ive lhe orders poured in of late. A new modern three-story factory is under way, a site having been secured on Ellis street opposite the new ennnerv. This will ne filled up with every convenience necessary lo the industry and will be capable of accommodating from 200 lo 250 employees. Though the company has only lately been nble to place, their product definitely upon) lhe market, Mr. Bowser reports pfnspects as very bright, and many large orders hove been received. The Importance of such a promising industry to Kelowna can hardly be over estimated nnd Its progress will be walche-l with the keenest interest. Princes' Practical Joke Fall Fair Promises Well Large Increase of Entries in Poultry Section The exhibition grounds and building are busy places this morning as we go to press, in preparation for the annual Fall Fair which opens today. Yesterday a stream of people were passing along all day with their enlries, which in some sections al least promise lo excel previous years. Tho high quality of lhe fruil on show nnd lhe abundance of peaches, plums, grapes, aiid other soft fruit, are noticeable ut the first glance. But it is in the poultry section that the gicates' surpii.se is in store, The number of entries is probably treble what it was last yeai���ample testimony to the increased interest which is being taken in the indus- lry< I his creditable ^flowing is no doubt largely due to the interest awakened by the Poultry. Associa lion wliich was formed this year, lo accommadate this large increase of entries four tiers of new pens havo been erected of a far superior kind to the old ones, and provision made for covering the wh.de with a canvas awning. The race committee articipate a good two days' sport, rnd competition in the various events is likely to be very keen. Owing to the Fair falling at lhe end of lhe week this year, we have to delay lhe printing of the list of prize winners until next issue. The next meeting of the Poultry & Pet Slock Association will be held Friday evening, October 4th, at 8 o'clock, in Messrs. Rattenbury 6t Williams' office. The King's young sirif, Pr'nces Albert and Henry, have beer I -und out in a practica-l joke wliii li is just now.amusing the people ol the old country.- All England wes'recenlly slinvd by lhe fact that the suffrageces appeared lo have invaded a royal residence,-and now-it'turns put royally hns been' perpetrating llie suffragette outrages. Someone looted lhe red flifga from the gulf course ial Balmoral nnd left purple "Votes for Women" Hags in place of.rhcin. Similar posters were found a day or two later plastered on the door of the guest room ol the Fits' Lnfd of the Admiralty, Mr. Winston Churchill, who was visiting at B ,1- moral castle at the lime. Likewise tlieie were other posters on all the aulomoblei in the royal garnr-c. I h. Queen whs lui- ious. She suspected the si rvants and stalled a rigid investigation. Il took a week of hard sleuthicg to run down-llie real culprits, the two young princes. 1 hey didn t really symp* thize with the " Voles for Women" campaign they said, when they were cornered. They only did it for fun and begged lo be forgiven, As there was nothing else to be done, royal clemency was h'.a'iv extended but the Queen compell: d both princes to apologize ill prison to Mr. Churchill.

Women's Suffrage Campaign Organizing Secretary Will Be in Kelowna Next Week lhe following letter has been sent to us from the secretary of the British Columbia Political Equality League: lo the Editor of the " Kelowna Record." Dear Sir, in view of the extraordinary in- interest being manifested, not only throughout the world in general but particularly in this Dominion, in the now vital question of Woman Suffrage, and especially in view of lhe facts that Mr. Borden has consented to receive a deputation of Canadian women on this subject, and that the newspapers of every shade of political opinion are opening their rdnmna to sympathetic discussion ul u u �� umlui ol practical politics, it has been decided by tbe headquarters branch of the Political Equality League in this Province, that the time has come to organize the movement throughout the land, forming local branches which shall distribute information, arrange for meetings, and collect signatures to a petition which is to be circulated broadcast, asking trial the Government will introduce and carry a bill giving votes to women during the coming session. The decision of the headquarters committee had to be made rather suddenly, owing to unexpected and very promising developments, which convinced us that if a widespread and united demand were made by the women as well as the present electors, we should get our recognition as citizens at once, without all the expenditure of time, energy and money which has been necessary in less enlightened lands. And this opinion has been since confirmed by the magnificently progressive step taken by the government in tbe new University Act,���the first 1 believe in the j history of Canada���to provide expressly for absolute equality of scope and privilege between men and women in every department of university life, even as regards the appointment of officials from the highest downwards. The men showing such liberality of mind, such foresight, judgement and courage, are not likely to delay to carry the principle i( embodies, lo its logical Conclusion, or to denv to their countrywomen thai recogri tion of citizenship, and the key to its effective use, which they accoid lo any European Immigrant, when he has been in the country the stipulated time and hat taken lhe oalh ol allegiance, however far removed his traditions and ideals of life, social and political, from Canadian standards, who has happened lo be born a male. 1 am therefore being sent out on a tour of organization and hope to be in your district fiom Wednesday, October 2nd lo Saturday, October 5th. 1 shall be very glad lo hear from all those interested in this vital question, on my arrival cr before, especially from any Australians or New Zealandrrs. who always give this movement a valuable support based on successful experience. Yours truly, DOROTHY M. DAVIS.

He declared that by this engine, the monopoly of coal had been broken, and that the problem of using liquid fuel for power production in ita simplest and moat general form had been aolved. It could be uaed with all natural liquid fuels: What the steam and the gaa enginea were for coal, it waa for liquid, but waa much simpler and more economical. Researches, he added, had shown that there waa probably as much liquid fuel aacoai in the globe New petroleum aourcea, aaid Dr. Diesel, were being developed, new oil districta were being diacovered. The world's production of crude oil had increased three and one half times as quickly as lhe production of coal, and the ratio of increase waa steadily getting higher. Forlv per cent, of the present production of mineral oil, he added, was already sufficient to supply the whole naval and mercantile fleet of lhe world with power if ihey worked it by lhe Diesel engines.

[PHONE 19 To Use Concrete for King Edward Road A portion ol llie King Edward Highway is to be built of concrete, the contract [or its construction having been let on September 1 Ith by the Hon. J. E. Caron, Minister of Agriculture and Highways of the Province of Quebec. The King Edward Highway is lhe Canadian section of the international highway, connecting Montreal wilh several large cities of the United States. Ultimately, il is expected that this road will continue as'fur south us Miami, Florida. It was the original intention that the entire highway should be built of macadam, but the Hon. Minister who has under his jurisdiction the Canadian branch of the work, has become interested in concrete roadways and has decided upon this iinpdilant undertaking as a good place to try it out. Governments and municipalities are gradually coining to recognize the necessity of a more permanent (orm of roadway construction. That concrete ia the material which best fulfills all lhe requirements of a permanent roadway, is a fact that will ultimately obtain world-wide recognition. Because the laws of the Dominion and those of British Columbia in particular, conflict with their ideas ot personal liberty, it is possible that the two thousand Douk- hobors in ihis province will soon trcck to Colorado where they have been promised all the latitude they desire in lhe regulation of their community. S On account of ill-health, due to starvation and forcible feeding, Mrs. Mary Lee, the suffragette, was released last Week from Mounljoy prison. Mrs. Leigh was the woman who, during the visit of Mr. As- quith to Dublin.'llirew a hatchet at his carriage and wounded Mr. Jjhn Redmond.the Irish parliamentary leader. She was sentenced on August 7 to five years in prison.

Kan; people huvr. some forward frith Ideas tor e*rraiting gold from lea-water. All these ideas have fallen IhHoutyh, and the auljt extraction of fold haa been from tiie Inventors' or inveBtoosf pockets. Recently, Uow- ivw, ah Austrian ehemlst brought torward a new Idea for extracting nonoy from the waves which holds lot a little more hope of success. It la alleged that In every 3,000 lb. sT sea-water there la Ub. of potash. How potush is a fairly valuable com- nerclal substance. Its present price i $8.60 a ton, and over $20,000,000 msrtt la exported to the United States lT��rr year. It la reckoned that potash MB be extracted from sea-water at a jost of about 12.60 a ton, leaving an imple margin for profit. The syo.em of extraotlon la simple. lUier* la a ton of potash In about three-quarters of a million gallons of ma-water. A large tank la conatruct- t&, on the bottom of which Is placed a :omnx�� ground furnace sleg which las been treated with a weak Iron lulplmtc solution. Hen-water Is forced up through this, leaving behind a deposit of the valuable potash. Pumps mpply the necessary water at the rate of 600,000 gallons an hour, a ton at potash being deposited every eighty- live minutes. The total coat of tbe woeesiiry engines to run the pumping machinery la nearly $260,000. Not mly will the tanks be used for extracting potash, but for getting the told out of sea-weather as well. It snly requires a strong solution of Iron rolphate Instead ot a weak one; $16 worth of gold can be extracted every live hours, at a cost of $2.60 an ounoa. '.told Is worth $40 an ounce. The coat at running the machinery works out kt about $300 a day. The amount of told extracted will be worth about (8,600, leaving a clear dally profit of >v��r $3000. > AH INFERNAL JOKE During his political career Mr. Balfour who reoenrtly retired from the leadership of the Unionists in England, haa had some very exciting and also some very humorous experiences. On the first St. Patrick's day after his appointment as Chief Secretary for Ireland a square box was delivered to him at the House of Commons containing a bunch of shamrock from a "mlnore Irish admirer." To the horror of his secretaries, the box was also found to contain u wlcked-looklng steel spring covered with a queer white compound. A chemical expert wae summoned BVeryone momentarily expected an explosion. The infernal machine, however, seemed to puzzle the expert. At last he ventured to put a particle of the compound on his tongue, when he found that it wus simply sugar Impregnated with lemon. He then turned the box upside down, when out rolled a rusty corkscrew, a spiral spring, an old nutmeg-grater, and a scrap of paper, Inscribed ��� "Buy the whisky yourself. You can then concoct the famous lemonade of Bally- hooly, and drink to Quid Ireland." A NEW ANAESTHETIC Lady Henry Somerset has told how her attention was firat called to the work of relieving the sufferings of poor city children. "It was this way," she said. "I wae moved In that direction by the rare patience and Imagination of one Mttle boy. His example convinced me that patience was one of the qualities I needed most, and in seeking It I grew Into, that work I was in a hospital ou visiting-day. while the doctors were changing a plaater cast which held the crippled boy's limb. Tha operation was exceedingly painful, I was told. To my surprise, the little Buffcrer neither stirred nor winced, but made a curious buzzing sound with Ills mouth. After the doctors left I suld to him: "How could you possibly stand It?" "'That's nothing.' lie answered;' 'why. I just made believe that a bee waa atiiigiii' me. Dees douT hurt very much, yon know. And I kept buxzln' because 1 waa afraid I'd forget about Wa being a bee If I dldut.'" WHAT IS TO! It Mil ABILABY1 A retired teacher has a curious hobby. He takes a great Interest In tracing the history of everyday common words, arid he finds an Immense amount of amusement In this strange study. "Recently." lie says. "I have been making Inquiries Into the number of words actually used by young children. Perhaps tbe result of my Investigations muy Interest your readers.. Children from sixteen to nineteen mouths use from 00 to 232 words, while two-year-old children use from 116 Ui 1,227 words. The vocabulary Increases rapidly from that time on. It ta perfectly safe to assert that ths average three-year-old child makes use of 1,000 words. One three-year- old boy I know has a vocabulary of 1.771 different words." Busy at lhe Bar. At a certain Junction on a Scottish Railroad two brakesmen were employed one night recently ln the operation of wagon-shunting. Feeling somewhat thirsty, they took advantage of a lull lu their work to adjourn to an adjacent public-house for refreshment. Tine "boss," appearing a few minute* afterwards, discovered their absence, and, suspecting their place of retreat, lost no time In making hl�� way to the Inn aforesaid. Opening the door of the bar-parlour, he caught the delinquent* In the act of consuming a couple of pints of beer. ���HalHoa," exclaimed he, "Is ttiia where you chaps do your shunting?" "No," replied on* of the culprits, without a moment's hesitation; it's where we shifts the pints!" "but First Expert Chess Player; "Wont you alt down and play a game with J mo?"
