The affair will take ths oharacter ot a "round up" and it ia up to ths riders of ths distriot to show what we oan do here in that line, Kelowna can boast some oi ths cleverest ridera in the valley, and ttieir reputation will bs at staks, as thsre will no doubt be competitors from other points.

Sauter and his company presented "In Honor Bound", a little society playlet which gave Mr. Sauter just one of those emotional roles in which he appears at his very beet. His portrayal ol Sir George Carlyon, was exceedingly good, and no was ably supported by Mrs. Feetherstonehaugh, as Lady Carlyon, Miss Bsbsr Percy aa Rose Dalrymple and Mr. Oliver Vi��- 1isrt-as Phillip Graham" ** " ���*" During ths interval between the first and second parts of the piogram Mr. Wm.

Soames and Mr. Sauter reproduced "Tbe Man In The Street," a capital little original sketch of London Uie, Tbe representation of tbe Cockney street musician by Mr. Soames was decidedly realistic and all-together the sketch waa probably ths cleverest thing whioh has been In Kelowna for a long time. ���*- Mrs. Watt, oi Viotoria, who has bean visiting her brother, Mr. R. S. Hall, returned horns on Weadseday morning. The fivo-yoar-old son ol Mr. J. B. Knowles sustained a fractured leg from falling while playing with a dog. -T- AUTOMOBILES NOT WANTED Prince Edward Island is ths some ot a quist contest between the farmers who are opposed to permitting ths use of tbe automobile on the island, aad the wealthier class who wish to uss them. The government,some time ago pledged itself not to allow automobil- lng il ths farmers at their minimi school meeting so expressed themselves Ths vote was overwhelmingly against the auto. Now, however, the auto owners have secured permission to uss their machines within a limited area about Charlottstown. They are endeavoring to secure extensions of ths privilege. NEW GOLD STRIKE VERY RICH Dr. Cairnea, Dominion geologist, who has returned Irom White River and ths Shushanna district in the Yukon, the some ol ths latest gold excitement reports that the new strike is undoubtedly very rich. The known area is yet of neooaaity limited, but gold haa been found on four creeks. The formation is good for the deposit oi gold.. Ths claims extend to the Canadian aids. AU Cairnea' party staked claima. Dr. Cairnes approved the customs proposal to expedite the movement of goods into the Shuahanna district where thay were greatly needed. He strongly aoV advised against man going in without ample supplies, _. tu NEW MEAT MARKET SOON TO BE OPENED CASORSO BROS'. PINE NEW 8TQBE WILL BE ONE OP THE BEST EQUIPPED IN PROVINCE Tbs hugs new i block being erected by Msssra. Casorso.Bros., our looal meat merchants is now approaching its final stages, and it ia expected that the meat market will be opened ln the early part ol next month.. Whsn the store la finished Messrs. Casorso Bros, will have, without doubt the beat equipped premises in the interior ol B. C, outside ol Vancouver, and not even there w II lie found one loie modern and up-to-date in its plant and fittings. A complete^refrigerating plant, driven by a 25 horse power gasoline engine, with large ammonia compressor and network ol pipes covering every part ol the premises has been put in at great expense. The firm has also installed an toe-making plant, with atoregs capacity lor about a carload of loe. Separate .-tnrsge chambers, with carefully insulated walls are provided lor poultry, llrh, mutton and beet. The store windows themselves will be perfect refrigerators, cooled with.brine pipes and lined with sanitary glazed tiles, The glass counters too, will all lie artificially cooled. A now feature will be a separate cutting room, cooled to a low temperature, thus avoiding exposing meat, as much as possible in the front store, Throughout ths whole plant the ut moat care is being taken to ensure Bcrupulous cleanliness .and perfect sanitation. Provision is alio being mode fur an extensivo packing department, where Messrs. Casorso Bros., will cure their own hams and bacon, and1 manufacture lord, polonies, and sausages. The plant for this purpose is ol tho most modern description, a:.d ia being in stalled under the supervision of an expert who will afterwards have charge ol the various manufactures. Attached to this department is'a smoke honac and cold atorage chambers. Messrs. Casorso - claim that by thus manufacturing their own products they will be able to make a gr at sivin/ on their coat as compnie! wit'i shipping in the goods from outside points, lie- sides having the advanti.e of greater freshness. Ths opening ceremony is to be mads a notable event, and thi pul lie are to be given an opportunity of inspecting every part of the store and it; elaborate appointments. nt. DEATH OP L. A. PALMER Ths death took plaoe last Thursday at Kamloops, tt, Mr. L. A. Palmar superintendent ot the Government Tele graphs (or this district. Mr. Palmer haa been in poor health for a long lime, but has managed to go about bis duties until recently. The deceased waa 52 years of age and although for a number ot yeara engaged in telephone and telegraphic work came into the district first ns a Baptist minister. Ths funeral, on Saturday waa attended by a large number ol influential people, ths pall bearers jbeing Judge Swanson, Dr. .1. 8, Hurrla, Dr. M. G. Archibald, J. M. Benzie, Rev. W. A. Wyllie and L. T. Shaw. For one hour, while the! funeral was taking place all the telegraph otfioes In tbe distriot were closed. Amongst the wreaths was one from the staff of ths Kelowna office. , ( PUBLIC INVITED TO TOBACCO HARVEST The harvesting ol the tobacco crop by the British North American Tobacco Company, which was commenced last Monday week is proceeding rapidly, aided by the very favorable weather which we have had lately. It is just now perhaps at its most interest- ing stage, and in order to give the publio an opportunity to see some' thing ol the proosss, the company are arranging that tomorrow (Friday) ths tobacco fields, including those at Benvoulin, when some thirty acres were covered in with oheese-oloth, wi be thrown open for inspection, and an invitation is given to all interested to pay them a visit. Runaway's seem to be tho fashion during the past.month. This week has witnessed no jess than three. Kamloops Drops Out of Owing to e severe attack ol "Cold fM" tbs Kamloops' bib II club, scheduled to play here this afternoon are not comiug. They have decided, at this late hour that they will bs further ahead to for'.'!' I 0 post ed at the beginning of the season than to ploy the two remaining games and take the chance ot finishing st the bottom of the league. Kamloops, has for the past three or four years been looked upon as the best baseball town in the interior and in fact in the province with the single exception of Vancouver. They have always, until this unfortunate incident been looked upon as "good sports", but we cannot further consider them aa sttch, when, with only two games topljor-to complete the schedule they have thrown up the spcn7e" and quit, knowing as they do, that their action would be a blaok-eye to the game throughout the league circuit. It is to be regretted that suoh a move has been taken, aa this may retard the formation ot the league another year, however we trust that aome now "sporting" blood will be gathered together and thut next sea- aon they will oome baok, and "stick" and regain the1 fame they have enjoyed ao long and have in so unsportsmanlike a manner thrown away. SCOUTS CAMP AT OYAMA Rev. C. Campbell Brown will speak in the Presbyterian Church next Sunday morning. Mr. Brown has resided In China for 20 yeara and ia the author of a number of widely read booka on Chinese subjects. Owing to tho great interest being taken in baseball the looal hardware men are now out after their portion of the honors that ars flying about and have arranged a game with the looal grocers. Ths date for the game has not yet been arranged but will ba forthcoming in the near future. KeleVrna is surely becoming a baas- ball town. Games ars coming so thick and fast that it is difficult to keep track of them all. Last evening ths Manhattan Beach boys crossed bats with a party of Englishmen at ths oity park.

Benvoulin Notes (Ftom our own Oorr.apoQd.at.) The orops are looking up around Benvoulin. For instance Mr. Weeks is trotting in.cucumbers by the hundreds ol dosens and a tew more warm days will set the tomatoes rolling. Miss A. Hunter is the t actor in our school this senson. Quite a number of our young folks are going sway and among them Miss Margaret. Reid, for whom a farewell surprise party was given at the home of her '.father, where a vory enjoyable evening waa spent and ended with "For She's a dolly Good Fellow." Ths following Monday evening another farewell party was given to Miss Mary Day and ths MiBs Henwioks at ths home of Mr. A. Day, where the light fantastic was tripped till two or three o'clock in the morning. Mrs. P. O'Brien .has arrived In Benvoulin again from a prolonged visit lo her old home. The Bethel church choir welcomes their new member, Miss Beryl' Grummett. A very enjoyable picnio was held at the polo grounds on Thursday last in honor of the birthdays of Mr. 'and Mrs. Alex dtoid. and though the day was nona too warm the revellers kept their temperatures up with games ate. LOCAL TROOP TAKE PART IN ENJOYABLE MEET DURING THE PAST WEEK The July issue of the Headquarters Gasette of, the Boy Scouts Association states that it should be the aim ot every Scoutmaster to get his troop into oamp during the summer months, whether it be a series of week-end camps, an itinerant party, caravan or any other form, adding that the benefit to be derived therefrom is worth ail the rest ol the year's training owing to the opportunity of putting the 'knowledge gained to a practical use, 'A valuable opportunity was given to | the Kelowna troop of spending ,a- profitable week in oamp from August lath to 23rd, when about a hundred boys Irom Vernon, Armstrong, Ends; ly, Lumby and Kelowna assembled ul point on Kulainalka Lake about mile from Oyama post office. Tbe journey to camp, made by way ol Vernon | was ol the most chilling description, owing to the cold and wet weather 'augmented by a storm whioh made j tbe passage ol Long Lake by scow too dangerous a proceeding, and the party were forced to put in for shelter. It waa a hungry orowd, therefore which, on arrival at the camp site, hod to turn in and pitch eighteen bell tents and receive a supply of bedding lor the night. However under the able supervision of Sergt.-Major Sparks the whole assembly wsrs housed in lees .than half an hour. The spirit of competition at once asserted itself and the friendly rivalry between troops was largely responsible for the officiant way in which ths camp details wer. carried out. The oamp was essentially for cadets but Scouts were admitted by special arrangement. The expenses were borne mainly by tho Dominion government, with a view to enroura^ing the cadet system of training, it was therefore with much satisfaction that the Kelowna troop hailed ths possibility oi attending a well organised oamp with out ths attendant depletion bt ths troop funds. Ths daily routine wae nlmirnbiy m- ranged in auch a way as lo cause no undue fatigue to the boys while the accommodation was excellent, ths tents being in first olass order, ample supply oi blankets and no over crowding in the tents. The way in which all set to work to sreot mess tent, tables, forms, cook houses etc., was splendid, ths result being that meals were taken in comfort. The combined efforts ol ths quartermaster and three oooks ensured a plentiful aupply ol good food, well cooked and in surprising variety. No cases of siok- ness weie reported but a few minor accidents brought out the utility of ambulance work, aa studied by the boy scouts, wounds, severe nose-bleeding and other minor ailments being skilfully attended to by the Kelowna contingent who were looked upon as the "handy-men" of the camp. Many opportunities wars afforded of doing "good turns", and the local troop earned tbe praiss ol all present for their willingness to undertake whatever latigue duty might arias whether called upon or not. The mornings wsrs chiefly devoted to two drills oi exercises ol one hour eaoh, while bathing parade occupied the latter part of each afternoon. In this a picket was appointed to be an duty for the purpose ot watching lor uny possible accidents and Kelowna agaiu Idled the bill with four of the strjngoat swimmers in the troop who remained on duty until every other bather was out of ths water and then bathed togoth- The only cycles in camp were from Kelowna and wore requisitioned for erranbs, etc. Tne excollent discipline whioh prevailed in camp wae due partly to the fact that on the tirst day an example was made ol two rail oreent seniors who, alter disporting themaelvee in the company's boat without leave were promptly dismissed from camp. In accordance with a desire of many of the boys Friday morning waa devoted ��� to tho interests of "field day" a brief tactical exercise being prepared for the defenoe of the camp against a hostilo foroe; although the oamp was successfully held the at tackers were understood to have won on points for tho way they manoeuvred their forces over very difficult I ground. A good program of sports Bad Auto. Accident Near SummeiiaDd Ths lower turn on the Switchback road north of Peach Orchard wae the scene ol an auto accident at 5.30 on Wednesday afternoon last that very nearly resulted fatally. Dr. D. Ferguson Bustecd ol Kamloops, in company with his mother, Mrs. Busteed, wile of C.I'.ll. Engineer F, F. Busteed, now in charge of the double tracking of ths B, C. division ol the CP.lt., and formerly general manager at Vancouver, also his sister and brother Frank, who are touring the Okanagau, were coming in from the north and while it ia claimed that the cor was going slowly i i mvking the right about turn at that point the car skidded, toppled over and rolled down the bank. A. Ponder and A. Vickery, two men living near, heard the crash and hurriedly 'phoned Dr. Andrew before going to aid the injured. Mr. and Mrs. MoLachlan, living in thc Hogg cottage, also hurried to givo assistance. As speedily as possible the victim, were extricated from the wreck and medical assistance given. Others to hurry to the scene were Constable Gra- Aam and Supt. Mitchell, the latter kindly volunteering to take them to the hospital in bis automobile. It was found that Mrs. Busteed had suffered a broken collar bone, besides being badly Bhaken up. Dr. Busteed had his hand badly torn and bruised beside a scalp and loot wound. A number ol stitches had to betaken in tho hand which required nearly an hour to dress. The younger brother, Frank, suffered a badly crushed foot, while Miss Busteed, who was driving the oar, escaped with little injury and a general shaking up. Mr. F. F. Busteed, lather of Dr. Busteed was telegraphed for and arrived on Thursday night. The oor wus r. id pulled onto the road. Thursday morning and was found not so seriously damaged as expected. The front axle was sprung, the top torn and other minor dam- ago done. It was sufficiently repaired on the spot to bring in under its own power and taken down to the wharf for shipment out. Both Mrs. Buatcod and tho boy are doing well at the hospital, and all will return, home, perhaps tomorrow. The accident i. the worst that has yet occurred at that point and emphasizes the necessity of sign boards advising drivers to go very slowly at these sharp turns.���Sumiiuilu..,' ..e- view. ��� ��� . PRINCE ARTHUR TO BE GOVERNOR GENERAL The Daily Graphic claims to be in a position to state that Prince Arthur of Connaught will succeed his father the duke, aa govcrnor.general of Canada and that the duke will formally hand over the offieo and introduce him to the head of the commission executive before returning. Mr. Alec MoQuarrie leaves for Vanoouver on business Saturday morning. He will be absent from the oity for a couple ol weeks. Mr. A. Reeves, druggist ol Enderby motored down to spend Thursday afternoon in the oity. a large number ol excellent prizes were awarded. In this ths honors .vent to the Enderby troop; and the day concluded with a much appreciated oamp fire. At 5 a.m.,on Saturday the work ol striking tents began and at a given signal every tent disappeared aa quickly as it had been put up. The marquee waa lowered and stowed away, and by nine a.m., hardly a trace of the oamp remained. Ths gratitude ol all was expressed to thoss who wore responsible ior the conduct of the oamp and thc party broke up with a feeling of intense satisfaction at having spent a most, profitable week; It was gratifying to hear the resolutions, made by many members of progress to be accomplished before next year's camp, and the results at laat' week's exporionoo will be shown in duo course. Ths camp was ably handled by Col. Bott, assisted by Capt. Nangle, Lieut. Finch, Scoutmaster Sparks and Sergt. Holland, while Dr. Morris of Vernon acted as medical offiesr, The rooking arrangement a were must i.oc fu carried out by Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. [was arranged for Friday afternoon and 'King and Miss Russell oi Vemon.

Tho first was by-law No. 137 to raise $12,000 and No. 138 to raise $9,000 to meet the discount on sewerage and Bohool debentures due to tbe Unexpected fall In the market value of bonds. Tho oounoil hus adopted this method of making good the deficiency in preference to taking tlie money from current revenue, which would havo meant n big increase in the rate of taxation for the year with the result that tax payors this year wotdd have beeo saddled with a con H.dernlile proportion ol tlie co-it of what,is provided for tho benefit ofthe citizens generally for years to come. The result of the voting shows that this view <>> (he situation was appro eiated by the electors. There Were 53 votes cast in all, in the case of by-law 137, 10 of these were in favor, with J against and .! spoiled. The voting for by-law ]3H was almost unanimous .">.. being for and 1 against. As a result of the vote tho counoU will be enabled to fix the rate at about IS mills, a less rate than last year. Although tho depressed condition of the money market has been l*Ai iu Kelowna, as iu almost every othor place in the country and especially in the smaller Iowuh and cities of the west, the policy of economy pursued by tho council in cutting down every poftHtble expenditure will enable thorn to avoid the awkward financial) predicaments whioh many other towns are having to face, it is unfortunate but never the Ivss it is true, thnt money is too dear at the present line tu go very extensively into public improvements, and the council have shown prudence and business b nse in thus holding their hands. In spite of all this, howe.er, through the saving in t.t.ic r departments, tho board of works will, before the end of the year, have been enabled to appropriate some $7,500 for street work, which is one thing which cannot wait nlltogethor. Many causes contributed lo the formation and consolidation of tho great nations of the past. War, ouimm.ro.., immigration, law, literature nnd religion have all had their part, more or less prominently. I'.ach empire has hail its period of growth, its vonilh 0. power nnd its age of decline. All were doomed from the first to ultimate foil- Ure for tho UOlt powerful of all factors had been lacking in their growth and development, That factor is the feeling of national unity combined with pride of raoo, It is Ihis sentiment in the .'Irilish people, and their overseas- descend tuts to the iTiird and fourth gen��� rations, thai hoids the great empiro together. Rut these feelings beoomo weakened with lack of intercourse. The feeling of oneness gives place to the feeling of distinction and separation as time progresses. Hence it is lhat anything tending lo increase the sentimental Interest of the different parts of the empire in rau*h other tends also to increase tlie fooling of unity in its widely separated parts. The recognition of this fact has Jod lo the various conferences of tho lenders of the governments or greater Britain held in London within tho last decade or tWO. At these conferences Matter! of empire importance aro discussed and although the conferences without legislative power, they have already done much to stimulato tho interest of the different Dominions in ono another. The latest active recognition of the unity idea takes the shape of a proposal omanating from Karl Gray, former governor general of Canada that all the great Dominions of the empire shall combine to erect, buildings for thoir London offices on one site. The proposed' buildingB Bhall be known as "The Dominion House." The site selected consists ol two and one-half acres between Aldwych CreBcent and the Strand, perhaps the mo3t cvntral part of Loudon. The government of Australia has already begun on one corner of this, site the erection of the Commonwealth building, the corner stone of which was recently luid by tho King with fitting ceremony. The proposed location of the new Dominion House has historic surrounding... In the immediate vicinity are the House ot Parliament, the Law Courts and St. .Paul's Cathedral, each with its record of accomplishment in carrying out the ideals of a great peo pie. The now Dominion House will alt- no stand as the embodyment of the great idea of world-wide empire sufficient to fill the imagination And inspire the minds of the dwellers in the dominions beyond the seas with tho importance of ��� their heritage and pride in the accomplishment of their race. We aro pleased to learn that the local rowing enthusiasts aio determined, as suggested in last week's issue, not to let their interest in water sports die out with the recent regatta but will contintto so long as the fine weather lasts. A programme of events is being* arranged for the Thursday afternoon, two weeks from today, viz., September 11th, which will i'lclude several rowing races with the now four-oared shells, teams for which are practicing each evening. Swimming, iliving and canoe races may also be included, and arrangements will be announced later. CO-OPERATION A groat many fruit growers apparently imagine that after they have formed a co-operative association they have solved tho fruit problem.

KELOWNA RECORD BASEBALL During the season about to draw to a close the Kelowna baseball1 club in the Interior League have gained the support of a large number ol people, Starting the season,, ae they did with a team ol local boys they were soon outclassed by the other cities, owing to the fact that the other cities secured their players from all over the country. The Vernon Club were gathered in Irom the east and west, only a couple local men remaining on the line up. Kamloops, likewise secured an entirely new combination from' the outside, most ol the men coming from Seattle and Tacoma. During the last month not one of tho players representing Kamloops ��� last season has entered the line up with the exception ol Cresler who took part in one contest. Revelstoke imported many players during the last winter and opened the season with only about three ot the old players in the game. The local aggregation soon dropped -behind and It was seen that it Kelowna wished to make a fair showing in the league race) that some new material would have to be obtained. Consequently n meeting was called of the officers of the club and the business men' and supporters. It was stated that the local olub depended entirely on the support they received from ihe publio to keep up the toam and meet the expenses which, amounted to a considerable sum. The attendance at the home games . was not large enough to moot. thc expense Incurred-on the long trips to Reveli- atoko and Kamloops ,and if the club was to remain in the league financial support must be solicited. Mr. F. S. Coates, acted as.chairman of the.meeting,; and offered to start a subscription to raise monoy to get players, able to successfully compete' With the other cluba. Those present very generously came to the front and aided the club and new material was immediately sent ior. Since the arrival of these new players Kelowna has been furnishing a class ot ball that would do credit to any oity, ten times as large as Kelowna. Since then the attendance has increased steadily and now crowds who attend the homo games give evidence that the efforts ol the looal promoters has not been fruitless.. Of course we have very little ohanoe oi winning the pennant this season, as the other clubs were too tar ahead whon the team Sidn.y Harper, of Van.ouver. B.C. now representing Kelowna was gather- j Letters of a Self-raised Office BoY ed together. However, at the present . jj. pi time Kelowna is recognized as the | best Combination in the league. The { In whkhyimmy ulla of Kelown. happening, to Ml. papers of the various cities in which the locals have performed daring the last month are all very high in their praise lor the Kelowna olub. Had Kelowna obtained the players they now havo ,at the opening of tho league race Kelowna would have led the way to the flag without difficulty. This condition has been brought about; by the executive of the club, who havo not only worked hard and faithfully to secure the support of the people, but have subscribed and solicited subscriptions to support the club. With the brand of ball furnished by the locul team during the. past month the handful of'men who, have worked bo faithfully to, give Kelowna baseball such as they have, must feel proud ol the success they have achieved. The question is already asked by numerous fans, who realise the (act that Kelowna has a baseball team able to cope successfully with any club in the country, "What about the next season?" This question inunt be answered ' by tho people themselves. The management must have good support if we are to havo good 'baseball.

They are all most enthusiastic supporters of the Gurney-Oxford because it contains many exclusive devices that make a perfect cooking equipment. Its oven is evenly heated in every corner to insure deliriously dain'.y cakes, golden brown biscuits, and light flaky pastry. A special Divided Flue carries the heat to every hole on (he range. The top is perfectlysmooth and clean, requiring noblack:;-d polish. But most important is the Economizer. It is a small lever that moves around a series of six notches giving the exact degree of heat required for any particular dish. The heat of the range can be shut off and the kitchen kept cool between, meals by turning the lever to a certain number. The fire is held at a low ebb on a special Reversible Grate until a baking oven is required. Then thc necessary heat can be obtained: quickly by simply turning the Economizer lever to another notch.

Leckie - Kelowna fir j (ai*) �� & I Dear Sid,���In .answer to yours ol recent date,. I will say, and say it most emphatically, 1 will not come to Vancouver for your wedding. As I told you before the only way you oould get mo to return to such a climate would be under the influence of either an anaesthetic or .Scotch, and furthermore, I would not come to see a friend rush blindly on to sure destruction. ,So forget it. If you are bound' to p.ill off this foolish stunt, you'll have tu do it without being aided and abetted by me. We have been ma',.in so all history in Kelowna this lal t well. Two gaineB which will go thundering dowu the pages ol history were played. Tho first ona between the perpendicular. and horizontals was perpetrated last Thursday. The game was won by the gentlemen with tbe Gothic style ol architecture by a neok���I guess because they have more than the gents of the Aldemunio construction. Ths game was replete with sensational fielding and batting. In fact one of our most prominent real estate men (who is built more lor safety thun speed) just missed a ehance, oi being a hero. He was ambling around in the lurid with gazelle-like?'/ ease and graoo, when the batter knocked a liner in bis direction. Here was his oue to make a sensational one-hand, running.catch. Nothing loth ho sturted with the dazzling speed of a canal boat after the flying ball, but just as he reached up to grasp the sphere with his unerring mit, his foot refused to track und came together in a head-on collision. 'I'he ball bounded joyfully on its way, while our rotund friend had to be reminded that ladies were present. This waB but one ot the many exciting .n-.iii.iu., winch will serve to make the game live Long iu the annals of local baseball. The other game, played Monday was between several of the local grocery stores. Those guys may be able to weigh out sand and chicory and sell wooden nutmegs, but as ball players they are a large bunch ol onions. There wore sure some weird and wonderful stunts pulled off in this game, but one thing is to be considered, that is, the do or die spirit shown by some of the players. II they thought that their bends were not sufficient to stop auball, they did not hesitate to thrust their alabaster bosoms, in its way. Ibis is the kind oi stuff Irom whioh martyrs are mado. Honest, Sid' I wouldn't have missed this game for a good deal. Haven't laughed, so much since Hook was a pup. t On Thursday next we are to have at the Opera House a couple who should prove of exceptional interest, they are Hiss Lucy Webhng, who by the way, created the title role in the first production ol Mrs. Brunett'e immortal play "Little Lord Faustleroy," and and Mr. Walter McBaye, who as a delineator ol the French Canadian dialect stands without a pe:r, two suoh talented people should prove a great drawing card. Before I forgot it Sid 'I want to tail you oi a picture we had last Tuesday, which to me was ths finest film I have ever seen. The title was "Why", ihe picture was an allegorical one showing the misery and untold suffering oaused by the insatiable greed ior great wealth and the evil iffauts oi drink, than which thcro is no greater evil on earth. Even war, with all its honors does not oauso a tithe,the suffering, it also showed the pitiful results of child labor, flow aome ol the rich achieve wealth by , trampling over th* bruised and emaciated bodies ol little children, who deserve a little pleasure, but get nothing but work. I am no Socialist, Sid, but I hope God speeds the day when such abuses are speedily reotified. II some ol the narrow-minded, self righteous people who are ranting about the demoralising influence of moving pictures could1 have, seen this pioture, it would change Ihuir viows.somowhat. Now after that outburst I .think this epistle should be brought to a olose, so with many and heartfelt wishes for your continued happiness and prosperity, and that ol your future bride, I remain as ever, your obedient servant and friend.

Tht re are thousands of householders, moro especially iu tho prairie provinces, wl o are longing for fresh fruit of a sort that oan be stored and drawn upon during the winter months. The diffi- Ity ot the one class is to reach buyers for the fruit, and 01' the othor to find a supply at a moderate price. To bridge the gulf'that separate*, the two classes, and thereby do both an individual service, the Dairy and Cold Storage commissioner has issued a list of1 the wholesale and retail apple dealers in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and sections of New Ontario, whose addresses were available. These, whioh number about 276 dealers and firms, with few exceptions are said to be in a position to buy at1 least one carload of fruit.

The "Official .Journal's assorts thnt there are still 11,000 of these poor people, but it is challenged to give a list of thorn, with their ageB and descriptions of how they boonmo victims. There is a legend that in a village of lhe South of Franco almost the whole population have been created "victims" who consequently always vote for the government, and spend a life of idleness and oase, playing bowls and smoking their pipes, reaching a ripe and happy old age, and transmitting thoir grievances and their claims, as well as their electoral ob* ligations, to their sons after them.

Cussow, the Dominion Botanist, Ottawa, who it; now on a trip through the Canadian west, states that the most distressing single feature of the weed problem is that arising out of tho unnutural abandonment of cultivation of land close to all our large centres. About almost every city, the olosost farms���the farmB whose natural destiny would be to be utilized ior market gardens, oity milk production, ppulAry farms, etc.��� have been subdivided; they are now neither cultivated nor occupied by residences, and they are prolifio disseminations of weed seeds which ripen and spread all over tlie agricultural land surrounding. Thus the land that, from an agricultural viewpoint, is intrinsically the most valuable, instead of being a bless ing, becomes a curse, There is urgent need for some radical economic reform ���single tax on land values or some more effective means��� which will prevent the subdivision craze from spread ing farther and being hack into into cultivation, through tax sales and other-wine, land that is not actually needed for, legitimate oity or town expansion.

B. TERRY Seorertary B. O. Poultry Aeaociation. Much pleasure and profit ere eften- timee afforded householders by die keeping of a lew fowls, whereby they can secure fresh, wholesome eggf, ami now and again tbe beet meat obtainable, by killing off their /aurplus atock. In any city there are very low yard* ao email or aituated ao that a few fowl* could not be profitably kept. When considering auch a .question tha chief points to remember are, sunlight, reasonable space, shade and good drainage. There are, certainly, other points almost a* important, but tbe above are those that ahould be mainly In recent yean probably no on* topic haa caused so much diacuasion or elicited ao many diverse explanation, as to it. origin and solution, aa thai ofthe "high coat of living." It ie our preaent intention to endeavor to ahow bow thia problem may be partly met or aolved by the "keeping of poultry on the city lot, back yard or garden." consider at the outset. Quite a lew would-be poultry keep- era are deterred oftentimes by tbe iear that the apace at their disposal .is not large, enough. True, a back yard or a garden only a few feet square is not of sufficient area to permit of the profitable rearing of stock,, lint providing the utmost care is taken as to cleanliness and attention, there is no reason why a few bens should not be successfully kept. Location ol Houae and Yard When building, always endeavor to locate the bouse as far from the dwelling of owner aa possible. (We refer, now, to where it ia proposed to keep (owls in the ordinary baok yard, of say, 60 or 60 feet wide, by perhaps 30 to 60 feet doep). There are good reasons for this. Chief among these, are those of a sanitary nature and that the dwelling houae may. not obstruct sunlight entering tbe pen or house of fowls. Always,cnoIoiK! the yard with wire netting, and this tn be not leBs than gix feet high. Where wire ie not used and the fowls allowed to run through your, own iand neighbors' yards, gardens or front lawns, unpleasant con- aequences invariably arise. If the.lot it surrounded by a board fence, a wire netting two or three leet wide may be,strung along the top of the fence, securing the aame to anrtnt- ling pr poles nailed to the fence. If the owner desiree to use part of the yard for a vegetable garden as well, a dividing fence of netting mould be put up, and f>y having the whole lot wired, the fowls may be allowed acoese to the garden after the vegetables have been removed. This will afford the owner an opportunity to dean up and apade over the poultry run ia the, mean time. Type of Building For the coast district and adjaoent islands, an open-front house may ba used. In the interior, a front composed of either ooarse ootton, moveable glass or a combination of both, ia preferable. The type ot house proper in any locality may be tbe aame, and may be built according to owner's ideas. Theae are the types generally used: Woods' house, a semi-monitor, or. in other words, the roof ou tbe south aide atari* from a point usually two feet lower from the ridge than th* north aide; thia allow* window* to be placed perpendicularly in the portion above;, Tolman houae, with an uneven roof, having, generally two-third* of it* area sloping to the south, and th* rest to the north. The southern root also comes down a loot or two lower than the north aide; the common shed roof, with slant to north; the combination roof; which is practically a Tolman house reversed: so that the south rool, is smaller in size than the north; the gable, etc ;0f the roof style* enumerated, tbe shed rool is generally cheapest to build. Where driving rains ar* experienced, it i* advisable to place a hood in front of tbe opening. If possible, the door should be in either the eaat, south, or west side, and, where not much light is obtainable, a window may be put in either the weat or eaat tide. A board floor is generally used, and it i. advisable to build the house up oil tha ground a lew inches, to avoid dampness and harboring of nit;;. In ���even climate, the houses may be banked with stable manure or earth, during the winter. A foot board . should lie placed in tbe doorway, to prevent the litter from jamming the door, and this will alao save considerable snow shoveling ia winter. Where the bouse is located near a fenoe or building to the'north of it. thereby offering proteotion from wintry wind, and! storms, it need not be built ���o deep a* when erected in a more exposed position. In any rase, it should not be he* tkaa S feet, deop iu coast and island sections, and not !"*s than ten feet in'colder regions. Wl.ive tbe fowls are confined (to the houae curing the winter, they should be given at least six square feet of floor apace each. In }mitder sections, four may be found satisfactory. During the hot summer months, aB much shade as possible should be supplied in the yards, either by natural growth, auch as corn, sunflowers, artichoke*, etc., or by cotton screen or board shelter. Equipment Very few fitting* will be needed. The fewer the better. See that all at* portable. Boosts of 2 x 3, or barked poles may be plaoed running east and watt, and from nine inohe* to a loot apaoo allowed for each bird, according to breed. A dropping board, two feet wide for a single roost, or 3 to 114 feet for two roosts, ahould be plaoed under roost. Thia ahould be oleaned every few daya, or not less than twice weekly, and the board disinfected with liinu or liquid disinfectant. The house interior should be limewashed once yearly, all fittings being, removed at same time.'The roosts,may be painted with creosote or tar, to prevent the needing of red mites. In severe climate* a dust-bath box should be provided. It. should be so placed that' plenty pf sunlight oan play upon it. It ahould be about half filled with earth, with which ha* been mixed some powdered uulphur. It may be necessary to raise the box on edge to prevent litter getting in. Neat boxes ahould not be leu than 14 inline* square, inside measurement, and about one nest to from three to five bird* allowed. Th* netting materials should be frequently changed, and. burned when removed. A water pan,6 preferably enamelled, should be placed on a board at leaat a foot above the litter, the board being broad enough to allow the bird standing room when drinking, a grit and shell receptacle, and, if desired, a dry-mash box, or trough or board for wet mash. A board/for wet mash ia preferable It is much easier to clean than a trough. The simplest and beat form of dry- mash hopper is just a plain box, any size Or depth, with the top removed, a latb should be nailed 'all around the top, flush with the outside edge. Thia prevents birds from scratching out tbe Breeds to Select. Choose one of the popular breeds, and, above all, get healthy, vigorous stock, and buy only those of a good laying strain. If one finds it difficult to make a choice, it is advisable to visit a local fair or poultry show, and then select. If one wishes to buy mature atock the beat time to buy is between the month* of July, August and September. If pullets, then the month* ol September, October, and November will be found most suitable. Where the'owner does not intend to rear clucks, but will secure layers, by purchase, no male bird is necessary. On the contrary, they are a detriment and expense. Where a male is needed for breeding purposes, it should not be kept after the close ol the breeding aeaaon, unless a show specimen. AH males should be killed or marketed Boon after th* middle of June. The Department's Bulletin, "Natural and Artificial Incubation" supplied free on applioation, fully described method* to be adopted when owners wish to rear their t>wn ���took. Above all, purchase from reliable breeders. The writer cannot urge too strongly on this point. It ia conning almost certain failure, and consequent disappointment, to purohaae stock from dealera and huckaters. Very -few of tbe latter-mentioned people can aupply you atock that will give satisfactory results. Numeroua instances have been brought to the writer's notioo, , where fowl* of uncertain age, and suffering from almost every known poultry dia- eaae, have been palmed off on unsuspecting people who have bought generally because tbe birds are secured at at price at whioh reliable breeders cannot afford to sell. By writing tho secretary, care of Department of Agriculture, Victoria, a list ot members of the Provincial Aa- aooiation will bo lorwardcd (roe, giving a full list of breeds kept. Feed* and Feeding Wheat should form the staple food, and, with other hard grain, should ba feed in deep litter to promote exeroise and health. During the winter month*, cracked corn may be fed to advantage, feeding it in equal proportion to the wheat. The amount to teed is boat judged by tho owner. Car* should be taken to see that very lew grain* are left at a reasonable time from feeding. The times of feeding may may be sot to suit the owner.

It is important, however, that the feeding periods be punctual aud regular. Especially in thia so during tho winter months, when the birds naturally seek the roost earlier in the afternoons. Where it is not intended to raise chicks, a wet mash, consisting^ of table scraps, dried off with ground cereals, may be profitably fed. Care should be exercised in feeding table scraps,! however. Salted meats of alii kinds, pickles, mustard, or pepper, are .feeds of a doubtful character. Trouble of a diarrhoea* and ovarian nature arisen very frequently. Fat meats, potatoes or any peelings, should be gifren sparingly. Peelings, if fed' should be cooked, and mixed with bran or shorts. A wet mash may be fed in the morning, or at noon, rather than at the 'evening meal. Tho latter should be of hard grain. The wet mash may be composed of table scraps ( if Urge they ahould be run through meat-shopper), and a sufficient quantity of bran, or ground oats or shorts, so that the mixture may not be too stioky. Clam or oyster shell, aud charcoal, should always be before the birds. To keep the birds in condition, to get fertile eggs, and, incidentally to reduce the feed bill, groen .food should be supplied daily. This may be lawn clippings, dandelion leaves, cabbage, kale, rape, clover, alfalfa, duckweed sprouta or mangolds, It is absolutely necessary that green food be fed regularly in some form ar other. The dry mash consists of a mixture of any of the following, compounded to the owner's liking��� bran, shorts, white middlings, cornmeal and ground oats, wheat, barley, or rice. Where sufficient table scraps are not> forthcoming, fine-ground beet scraps should ba added, the latter to consist of not more than 16 per cent., of the ration. The mash can* also be fed aB a wet one is deeised. Unless considerable yard room is available, and also taking the losses by cats, rats, etc, into consideration it is much cheaper to purchase pullets or mature stock annually than to rear them. Pullets at six or more months of age, may, be considered purchased at a reasonable price if secured for not moro than 12.fid or S3.00 apiece. Yearlings hens may.be bought at from $1.00 to' $2.60, eaoh, according to breed and age. Diseases. Fowls in good condition, fed and treated rationally, very seldom suffer from disease. It does not pay -ho doctor sick, fowls, excepting on very rare occasions. This only when fowls are needed for exhibition, or when they are suffering from Blight colds or accidents.

It is surmised that the boiler had Iwen allowed to run short of water. roup, colds, tuberculosis, "blackhead" enteritis, oholera, chicken-pox, canker, gleet, etc., may be successfully warded off by preventing draughts, infeotion from other diseased fowls, supplying sunlight, keeping dropping boards clean, replenishing litter when needed, and removing name when soiled, regular sweeping of yard, spading same after sprinkling lime nil over, and sup plying permanganate of potash in the , drink/lng water all the time. ln ooncfuBion, tho6 association feel assured that if householder in all. of the cities, towns and villages of the province oould be persuaded to keep a few head of poultry in their back yards where none at present are kept large sums of money would be kept within the province, instead of, at tha present time, leaving it for tho purchase of imported eggs and meats; yards that are at present non-produc- Mve, cauld bo mado to'help iolve th�� vexed question of tho high cost ot living: and tho poultry industry of the provinoe could be rhed on a Mill higher plane than It has at present ���o proudly secured.
