TMr.' Suther- r'^iamPhad been up to 'see them a few weeks ago, and had-found the varnish was not in good condition owing t9je£poaure to^jhe feather. He'(the fnavor) suggested 'tKat they should,be stored under the bandstand, as they- were 'good '10875 51 80 If chairs to go into the practice room". », No decision was" arrived at as to whether this should be allowed, though the majority of the alder- seemed to think they should only be used for the bandstand. Aid. Elliott brought tip the question of an account of I. Chamberlain for a slush'scraper. The city had been using the scraper all the season and Mr. Chamberlain had sent in the bill,*' f fr i"'". f '*""- { /A discussion arose as to whether ithe city owned one,' two/oi. three scrapers, -and it was discovered that qf th^ three .used in grading the race track, one belonged to the city, bne to, Mayor DeHart, and ^ne to I. Cl^Berlaih. -\r^f [ \] It was Wgreed* to purchas'e the scraper from Mr. Chamberlain. _ Aid. Elliott said it was about time the city's property was stamped with the city's name and.all the tools collected. • 1 t -, ■/(),, -\;x A suggestion was "made that* D. Mills should collect the.city's tools and.plaoe thc_n all together ready for brapding. The.matter was left with ^fd-lEHiott to report.. . i\ Mrt C C: Josselyn attended with Time reference to the proposed addition" to hiq premises. Aid. Cox stated that he had seen Mr. Burne with reference to the matter, and the by-law had been fully thrashed out. 'Stipulation was made that no addition to any standing building should be jnade unless same was of brick, cement,, iron, or a mixture of these materials. If the by-law had been strictly adhered to the Oak Hall would not have been allowed to build. The "mayor said he was sure the addition to the Oak Hall premises was^ a great improvement to -the look of main street, and he would like to see a different front in Josselyn's" store. The by-law" was the only thing that stood in the way Aid. Elliott said that in the £>ak Hall improvement about four feet of wood had been added which in his' opinion "should have been glass. 'It was also understood that the butcher shop would ask to extend their premises as soon as the new firm started up. > Aid. Elliott said that Mr. Dilvworth had pointed out the' great danger of'\ fire -from persons throwing down cigarette ends and matches on the wood pavement, and that by extending the building up to the edge of .the sidewalk the danger from this source was minimized. -4. Objection ^was raised to .-the amount of woodwork required 1 in Mr. Josselyn's extension. Mr. Josse- lyn;5->:hpweveri agreed to'' place a galvanized'iron roof.on'the add-"" ition A petition was presented to the council as follows: We, the undersigned owners of prop- ^ erty fronting tbe south side 'of Bernard "" avenue between Pendozi and Water streets, hereby petition your honorable ; ,body 'to grant permission to Mrs. C. C. "Josselyn by resolution'or' byllayr to extend her building on Bernard avenue to the street line. - Our''reasons are as follows:' *l. It spoils the uniformity and appearance ,of'the .'/street to ha,ve one building standing back from th'e^others. 2. The preseptTposition '-of Mrs. C. C. Josselyn's building, causes great "Hanger (.. of fire, as .peoplev step back from the (."street to light ...their pipes,*' and^throw A burning matches and cigar ends down. > 3. It is1 only'""fair to1 Mrs. tJosselyn that A she should-have thisvpermission. ' r*--_. t.1 ^ -rf-v J* r* 11. ^_- 1 t Sisned : W. C. Blackwood, P. B. Willits ■- &"Co.7D. W. Sutherland. W. B. M. . Calder, Morrison Thompson Hardware, M. Morrison. Dr. Boyce also signed the petition at the"' same. time ' making the following note :(" If W. C. Blackwood is permitted to move his out Lthink-Mrs.-C.-C—Josselyn-should also be given permission, but I object to either being moved /Mayor DeHart "^considered that the' signed petition gaye the council more rope* and that by granting permission, the council would be complying to the wishes of the other occupants of' the block. Moreover,'■""•he 'considered it was protecting the interests,of the town and the fact that ^the petition -Was signed and presented by the other occupants of the block made it easier for the council to grant permission.*- , The following motion was then made: - > 'Cox-Bailey—That the City Council grant Mrs., C., C. Josselyn the privilege bf extending her building as per plans and specifications submitted, and subject to the approval of the buijding inspector. Aid. Bailey remarked that Chief Hid8on>had often complained of the numerous boys who stood back on the- corner j* of the premises in question,'and who levelled orange peel at the passers by. He hoped the addition would put a stop to that proceedure. - Mayor DeHart considered that a Curfew Bell by-law, ordering all kids off the street by. nine o'clock, would be a good thing, His remarks finding ready support among his subordinates. Aid. Elliott reported on the pound question, and stated that everything had begn'properly checked and fixed, and the moneys due paid Mr.- Blackwood. Mayor DeHart said that he had checked over the account for bulbs for the park presented by Messrs. Poltr.an & Mooy,and had found that the prices' charged were away ahead of the catalogue prices. Several of the aldermen [jot their heads together!to work out pounds, shillings, and pence into dollars, and found that in some cases nearly double Has charged for the goods. It 1 wbb agreed that the city clerk should write the firm in question, and point out to them the difference between the prices, sending them a cheque for'the goods,as advertised in the catalogue, and asking them to adjust t e balance. , Aid. Bailey reported that he had spoken to Mr. Raymer with reference to. the, re-* moval of his building from beside the Bank of Montreal, and had been informed that the building would be moved directly he (Mr. Raymer) was ready. ' , , Aid. Cox wished to know if the building would be moved over the sidewalk again, to which a reply was given that no arrangements had yet been made. Aid. Cox 'also made mention ' of the heavy trucks whicK w^re wheeled along the sidewalk by the people in the cigar factory when shipments were being made. He did not thin k> this should go on, neither should the Raymer building be allowed to go over the side walk again. " > ■ ; > n./ ' Aid. Rowcliffe reported that Mr. Russell had asked for new wire, transformers and meters in order to ' extend the wiring of houses for' electric light. 1 The total cost would be about $1000, and the -houses should be wired if the electric light plant was expected to run at a profit. >\ > . 1 ; When the question of borrowing the necessary money came up it'was considered that the plant shoule now pay ita own way, and if any borrowing wns needed* it should be lef to the'next .council. ' '. ? .,- , Mention was 'made of the 'poor, light which was, being - obtained from the. arc lamps, and also that-several ,persons,-in' private houses Were (complaining that the light was not bright'and white. ■> U * - Major' DeHart stated that in the'case"pf the are'lights, Mr. Russell Was,not'quite "acqainte'd' with* the* new' transformer,'and had written Mr. Smith for details of its use. * A thorough .investigation had been made of .the/ lamps, and they, had, been found satisfactory..yUp,to the present the trouble'had not/been located. - r. . it • With reference to'the house 'laqips, 'Mr. Russell would like to' have' the' names of anyone who was dissatisfied with their light. He always kept an even voltage on - the board, and,the'fault could not be', in 1 ' 1 ' iV1.''*'•, 'if. ' , , 1, the plant. He had mentioned that when lights became dull it was often found that the electric bulbs required changing.. ,He would be willing to test the, meter at any house-that was\not getting satisfactory light and find out where the fault lay. < ' Aid. Rowcliffe reported that the scavenger was not doing hisj work properly. He had not had. his'place" attended to for a long time and considered some steps should be taken. The matter was left in,the hands of Aid. Cox to attend to. . A short discussion ensued with reference to Mr. RayrnerV theatre'licence, it,being pointed oueby'th^ city clerk .hat Mr. Raymer did not consider he ought to pay as he was making nothing out of his 'theatre. The council considered that the license shou!d-be-co!!pctcd-ar>u-thc-mnUcr-waii referred to Hidson. The city clerk stated, that a gentleman was in town negotiating loans on property arid had asked for a guaranteed certificate on taxes to be delivered him. He explained that these certificates'were binding on the council ahd that it Iras usual'to charge a fee for issuing them. The clerk was instructed to issue I the necessary certificates and authorized,,to charge $1,00,for each i,•ue• 1 .', , > By-law No. 66 was then read a first time being a by-law to authorize the borrowing of money for the construction of the power house. The council then"'adjourned, to meet again on Monday; November 1st, at 7:30 p.m. , ,.• 1, jt , . Fine Collection Foi Spokane. Last Tuesday we had the pleasure to view the various samples of fruit collected by mayor DeHart for exhibit at the Second National Apple Show at Spokam*. Mr. De- Hart has been collecting from nearly all the well known orchards during the past few weeks, and the various boxes that we saw on Tuesday go to prove that he has obtained not only the largest fruit in the district, but also some of the best coloured specimens. l" About a hundred boxes are piled up in his cellar, each one marked with the name of the orchard from which the fruit was obtained, and include some of finest Baldwins and Spitzenberg we have seen. To beat the exhibit, other competitors will have to go some, for to pick out any variety as better than the others is almost impossible. y The collection includes Grimes Golden, -Mcintosh Red, Northern Spys, Newtons and Jonothan, not to mention one Bisma-k, that looks a likely winner of the prize for the Biggest Apple in the show. Mr. DeHart is not without a few curios in his cellar, he showed us some of last year's, old reliable brand of Ben Davis and invitingly held one out to us to have a bite. We, however, preferred one of this year's Cox's Orange Pippins which Mr. DeHart gave us. ' If flavour counts there is little or no doubt that this variety will romp home, for ..despite their fine size and colour of the fruit there is a flavour to it that should put, any judge in a good temper for the rest of his life. , -• „ - "wTaken-either'a8 a part, or as a whole the exhibit fully comes' up to last year's standard.' as regards size and quality, but possibly a little lacking in colour points. - ^ Mr.-DeHart will soon start the task of picking over the apples, which have to be reduced to * fifty boxes, and "by the looks of things he will have one of the hardest tasks created in picking and chosing the best. , _ - The exhibit will start for Spokane next Saturday week and may good luck attend it.

Herdman. , This amount was collected on Thanksgiving Day at the service held in the evening, a special collectidh being taken up foi; the Hospital, 1 ' > « -**»'. Last Friday evening Chief Hidson wa8'calle"d across the lake to arrest Edward McDougal,-who was running amok with a knife in his hand endeavouring to do harm to his mother-and other females upon the premises. The chief had some little", trouble in getting a boat to carry him across the lake, and it was not,until Mr. Claud James volunteered as sjripper that he was able to go to the assistance of the women. When he arrived he found' that the man had acted in a moat-desperate manner to attain his object, even going so far as to strike at the fugitives through a tent, the rent in the side of the tent being 'shown as evidence. The prisoner denied having done this, but - an examination of the knife found in his possession revealed several threads-from the tent still adhering to the blade. On Saturday he appeared before Magistrate Burne charged with assault, and was fined $15 and costs. Vnother charge was brought up againSt-him of supplying liquor to Indians. Being found guilty he was fined $50 or three!? months in jail."- The prisoner asked for time in which to'pay the fine, and was given,until midday on Tuesday. ' - .■■■» A large number of spectators were present last Monday at the Rugby* football game in Dr.'Boyce's field in- Ellice Street' The home team being badly beaten by South Okanagan, the result being six' to nil/, The general failing in Kel- owr_a'8 team was in the three quarters, and although they put up a good game, they were terribly outclassed by the'visitors. With a little more practice, possibly a good team will be the result. < '' I the opening of the new C. P. R, slip, situated at the north end of Water street, when cars to the number of six arrived. During the past few months the C. P. R. construction gang have been busy driving piles and. fitting up the rails, and now a complete track is made from a point in line with Aviss' boat house to the shore and from thence in a neat curve to the magnificent new building belonging the Farmers'' Exchange. The cars are shunted down the slip by means of an elevation platform worked by a windlass on both sides rand heavy weights forming a.bal- ahce. The car, on being, blocked "up is elevated to a certain < height and then allowed to go, running practically the whole length of the jetty. The rest of the way has to be done by hand power at present, but when the system is more complete and more traffic required, a different and qi."'sU^r mode will be resorted to. At present the only line in use is the one running to the Fanners' Exchange building, and last week this firm was busy loading,'two of the six cars with onions. 7 The exchange building, which is at present/the. only-one direcdy near the slip, is certainly 'a .'credit to .the town, being constructed. p_ concrete andr measuring' 100 ft by 60;ft , . ,( . --, _V f „.,,. .-Th?! packing and , Bpx ? Making departments'and room for. storing a Large quantity of;, produce, is^in the upper-part of. the .building and the offices, which occupy the partv of the building fronting the lake and Water Street! *' . r , , A large general office is included while at the side is a smaller office, which will be used as the-private sanctum of .Mr. B. McDonald^' and also for the directors. v The offices are framed in with glass, so that'a good view of the various departments can be obtained,' the' whole building being lighted by electric light. - ' - - * Underneath in the basement is a storage for' potatoes and other vegetables that require an even temperature; sixteen large bins' being provided,N 8 of which are capable of holding no less than fifty tons each. The' remaining' eight are capable of holding about thirty tons each, and are at present railed off and marked with the' names of the various growers whose crop is' being stored. „ f, —The heating-ofthe cellar-is done by means of stoves situated at each end of the building, and close fitting doors and windows make it possible to maintain a good temperature - throughout the building during the cold weather. Th'e whole of the' cellar is fitted with electric light Space is also provided for a cold storage system which will-be. placed in shortly, thereby making the warehouse an up-to-date and safe place for the storing of fruit and keeping it in good condition. When. yrc looked over the premises, three car loads of onions had just left by the "Aberdeen," being the first to be shipped through the new method. Two more cars were busy loading and four had been ordered, to cope with the ever increasing onion traffic from this point. The work of returning the cars to the slip is a long - and arduous one, a certain portion of the journey; being done* by a team of horses and another portion by, rneans' of crow bars. ' . , « Once at the foot of the 8lip,»how- ever, the car htks a cable,'attached to it from the boat, and the rest of the journey ii done by power. . The innovation will be a great one for Kelowna, as it ( saves' the double handling at. the Landing and Sicamous Junction, and the fruit will conaequendy arrive in a better condition. , >-. .

The election is to be held on November 25tK, with the nomination day on November 11 th. The Government is appealing to to the provincial electors mainly,on.a railway policy, and so far,at.least, very little excite^ ments has been aroused locally in either camp, it being generally understood that Mr. Price Ellison will be unopposed. Railroads, of course, are what this valley is wanting anyway, and the best:way we' can get them- will be none too soon. For some years past the idea of an electric car line connecting Kelowna and - Vernori and other'towns.on the lake has seemed, at least to the man in the street to be about as vague and visionary as aerial navigation. But at last after all'this weary .waiting, things seem to be really coming out of' the obscurity • and1- taking definite shape. Several very* important movements have recently'beeri .made which all point to an early development of the'project. " Surveys of the road have been filed and an undertaking obtained from the Government that the seheme will be in no way hampered if the lines are confined to the broad roads in the district. The minimum width of road considered adequate, is- 66 feet. At present the surveyors and others connected ' with the »scheme are ' witholding any. definite information as to the precise route the line will, but it is understood that the widest roads will have the preference: It is confidently.-asserted that work, on the new\ line will start early next _year._^ : ! Rumor has again been bu.y piling up, honors for Mr. T. W. Stirling, and ' incidentally for Kelowna. Last week the following) telegram was freely circulated, amongst the news- papera/'and dated from Nelson oh Oct'21st: "It is reported on excellent authority that T. W. Stirling, of Kelowna, will be appointed Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia to succeed the Hop. James' Dunsmuir, and that an order in-council will be passed within a few, days making the appointment.

Engineer • Davis and his crew came down from the mountains last Tuesday where they have been working for the past two months repairing the washout and break in the water gate of the large res- evoir belonging to the Central Okanagan Land and Orchard Co. They report that everything is now O.K. and ready for the spring. The men are glad to get back to civilization and Rutland. The Central Okanagan Land and Orchard- Co., brought three rigs, filled with prospective land buyers to this district last Thursday, this company certainly ought to be congratulated upon the way in which they boom Kelowna, and Rutland, and their efforts should be rewarded by the success they merit. . ■ ; "All i hands to potato picking." This is the cry throughout this district and the general salutation is "How are your spuds turning out ?" The yield * is generally satisfactory and if the prices and demand were only as good we would have but little to kick about. The Literary'Society held a musical'evening at Mrs. S. Sproul'e's last' Friday when several new members' were admitted. We hope the' debate, to be held-next meeting ; (at■E.G. Goodrich's) will be aav well attended. Songs were given by Mrs.: Sproule, Mr. Whit- aker; and"S.*'Gray, a duet by Mr. and Mrs. Pitt, recitations by Miss Fullerton and Gladys Bird, piano solo'by Miss Bird and Mrs. S. Gray. Mr.'Goodrich gave a good illustration of a typical American bluff, and' Mr. Wrigglesworth gave a piccolo solo, or rather tried to, but his efforts were neutralized, b3' his accompanist proving unequal to the task, by making such havoc of the music," that the 'soloist.' was unable to keep" his lips close enough to bring out the time, but had to 'join in the hearty -'■ laughter caused by the funny attempts', of the pianist whom we would recommend to devote a few years to practice. '■————•■—.-' ,\ ,■..:.• Ellison School District. The meeting at the schoolhouse on Tuesday evening was fairly well attended. Besides a number of representative . farmers, several ladies were present, and, all thoroughly enjoyed a long arid spirited discussion on,!the subject: "Does farming pay ? " Mr. George Stirling was chairman, aposition he filled-in a"-creditable manner. To him also fell the difficult task of -proving farming ;to be an unsuccessful calling. Although speaking more to provoke a discussion than to express- his real sentiments, Mr. Stirling's remarks were sensible and to the point, and as usual, well seasoned with humor. Messrs. Carney and Bulman undertook to show; that farming does 'p-ay)__being=a_healthy,_reliablei.c6m_ fortable and independent means of livelihood..; Mr. Bulman dwel. largely on the fruit industry,- go successful in the Okanagan, whilst Mr.' Carney 'showed- the many (advantages of farm over city life.; ; It is..hoped that larger numbers will take part in these discussions; as much information and amused ment is to be derived from them. The next discussion is to/be. on " Tobacco as an Industry." .,,- News of the Valley. Apropos of freight rates in the Okanagan, takes the " cake." A baby carriage arrived from a Toronto firm recently, addressed to a storekeeper in Penticton. The cost of the carnage was $23.75, the freight amounted to $20.09, making a total cost of of $43.84. The customer for whom it was obtained, naturally refused the carriage. The water case between John Conroy'and the Central Okanagan Land and Orchard Co., which was to have been heard at Vernon last week, was postponed to the Spring Assizes, owing to the fact that some of the witnesses could not be secured. Mr. R. B. Kerr appeared at the recent Assizes; held at Vernon, on behalf of Messrs. Muerling and Wheeler, ^efendents in a case between them and Vernon Hardware Co., also between Muerling and Wheeler, and F. DeLatour. The cases were adjourned until the next court. Last Saturday the Legge Willis Co., took Dandy Dick to Summer- land where they played to a full house. The play went ; well although the acting could not be considered quite as good as when the play was produced here. The smallness of the stage somewhat hampered the proceedings, and consequently several actions in the play had to be curtailed. Mr. J. W. Wilks however tried to cut out the last act by playing- "God save the King," after the curtain had fallen on the police station scene. Luckily however, he ; was stopped before the audience had moved from the building. The play was very well received by an appreciative audience, and showers cf congratulations were forthcoming after the show. Before starting for home the visitors were very kindly entertained by Mrs. J. Downton. Thomas Washington who was in tbe employ of H. C. Mellor at Summerland sustained a broken arm a few days ago caused by lifting potatoes into a waggon. He worked for two days after he had sustained the injury without going to-a doctor. Work on the new Presbyterian Church at Summerland is expected to start in the early spring next year. A fine1 building is to be put up.;:'; \'.. The V. & V.

Therefor* He Could Not Possibly Have Been Murdered. It was the custom in tbe good old iJa.vs in Great BritaiD and Ireland'tc bang condemned men for balf an hour '' aud then hand them over to their friends A man named Mahoney was ranged in this way. At the end of 'ialf an hour his body was given to, Ills friends, who put him in a coffin they had brought with them and galloped off with him on a cart. But be; fore they .were out ofo sight of .the gallows authorities the "corpse in the exuberance of his Joy sat up in the coffin and shouted, "Hooroo!" A "pa'." terrified lest this exhibition of vitality should cause the executioner to come after them, hit the banged man playfully on the head with his stick, remarking. "Kape quiet, ye spalpeen." The silencing was so effectual that the victim of it never woke again, but was well and truly "waked" that same evening. | There was no doubt that the blow on the head killed him. The facts came to the knowledge of the authorities, and a Justice was appealed to for' a warrant for the culprit's arrest on a charge of murder, but the Justice refused it. explaining that as the man was dead, having been hanged for half an hour and given up to his friends legally a corpse. It was Impossible that he could have been murdered.- London Tit-Bits. THE AFRICAN MARKET. Bring In s of the Frame ti*£K. - AN-APPRECIATION. ' Handbills were issued last Monday stating that a concert was' to be held' the fpjlowing day.in the Opera House.<by the Lyceum Concert Co., in aid of the Hospital. There was, however, no time to insert an advertisement in the papers, and the whole show suffered in consequence. The company was somewhat hampered by the hull at Vernon being in,use for' the Local Option Convention, on thet night they had arranged to appear, and then arrangements had to be made to • extend their their trijp^ here at an unexpected moment.- Owing to the-ahert notice nnd the inability to'display the necessary posters before Tuesday mornings the attendance was not at all good. > The, concert,. which was > successfully rendered to a mere, handful of admirers, was one of the best that has ever, been heard'in Kelowna.

Prices Thai Wild Animals the Interior. The prices"bf wild animals naturally fluctuate with the demand. An excessive supply ot rhinoceroses would soon reduce tbe market value. Five for sale at any time in the world would glut the market, for one c-anuot sell a rhinoceros every day. The maintenance of wild animals is costly aud they soon eat their value in food, so tbat every day they are on the hunter's or the dealer's bands he is losing money. After the animals are captured they have to be transported tp the coast This adds greatly to the cost. Delivered at Nairobi or --Fort Florence, which are inland and practically on tbe African bunting field, a baby rhinoceros of tbe prehensile lipped species will bring from $37- to $500, a giraffe from $250 to $500 and a baby hippopotamus from $250 to $450. elands and most of tbe large antelope, from $125 to $200, elephants from $375 to $875, lions and leopards, wltb tbe exception ot tbe black species of tbe latter, from $100 to $425, according to, size and condition. Tbe gorilla and the square muzzled (or so called wblte) rhinoceros can be sold at auction by telegraph. Their value might .run from $5,000 to $30,000, according to tbe bidding.—Hampton's Magaine.

But you never see such a father in a tall hat. They may wear forty-leven other kinds of hats- derbies, soft hats, straw hats or ns many/othe^ kind, of 'caps—but no father carrying an" infant ever wears a silk hat. t -. "Of course then- can't be any fashion decree aboutv, this. Refraining from wearing a &__ hat on such occasions must be due just to instinc-, tive common sense. " The baby is an extremely informal- thing, liable to scream or cry or .wiggle, or squirm at any minute, to bear itself in many ways in- a manner quite incompatible' with high hat- dignity. And even young fathers seem to know this, and ,80 they leave their > stovepipe tiles' on'the shelf at home when they go out with the baby. They seem to know what is fitting instinctively, but certain it is t that you never see a man in a stovepipe hat carrying a baby." ■ . - _ _ 1 Cn.* It tint I -' Brander Matthews voiced his opinion-that correct language is'that language currently' used.

When completed it will reduce the time . between Vancouver and Penticton to eight hours, and Nelson eighteen hours. Railway men conversant with the plansi say that a like following the water grade of the Kettle river will be built from Curlew, Wash., on the Grand Forks-Republic por- tortion of the Ketde valley system, to Midway, in the Boundary dis-, trict. From Midway the railway will ascend the west fork of the Ketde river "and cross the summit :to Penticton at the foot of Okanagan lake. From there the road will run to a connection with the C.P.R. at Nicola, the road being via Osprey lake, Aspen grove, Otter creek, and the Coldwater river.

From the Coldwater summit ari extension will be built down across the Hope mountains and down the Coqua- halla river to navigable water on the Fraser, and where connection can be made with the C.P.R., Canadian Northern, or Grand Trunk Pacific. The route map has already been approved ty the minister of railways. The proposed line will tap the main fertile sections of the Okanagan and the Similkaeen districts, a,s well as open up the rich mining "region of. the west fork, where a dozenN mines only await transportation facilities to become steady shippers. With the existing line the system will have a total mileage of 350 miles. The Dominion Parliament has already voted it*, a subsidy of $6,400 a mile for a^distance of 250 miles. The aid proposed to be granted by the Provincial Government only relates to that portion bf the line between Penticton and Nicola, a distance of 150 miles. The company will also extend its r-;,. c>;'.". v_*- -..-» ' . . - i, ' »-<■-,, branch up the north fork of Kettle river from railhead at Lynch creek to Franklin camp. This branch will ultimately be extended westward via Fire valley to Vernon. The maximum gradient will be one and one-halt per cent, in crossing the summit between the west fork and the Okanagan valley. For the remainder of the distance to Nicola the grade will be less than one-half of one per cent. The Kettle valley line with its connections will provide a direct route betwee/i the coast and the Kootenays. For the aid extended the Kettle valley railway line that railway is to be built from Midway to Penticton, from Penticton to Summer- land, and from the latter to Aspen Grove, and then up the Coldwater river to join the C.P.R. to Nicola (offording a through Coast-Koot- enay connection. The road from Penticton to Nicola, a distance of 150 miles, is to receive a subsidy bf $5,000 per mile in cash or inscribed stock, and that portion of the road is to be • taxed at the rate of $90 per mile, the ordinary rate of taxation. The company also agree to build from Grand Forks up the north fork of the Kettle river a distance of 30 miles. The company is getting the old Midway and Vernon subsidy, which the courts have held is still existing; and it has agreed to pay the old debts of the Okanagan Construction Co.—Province.

NO. IMPEDIMENT. An Objection to- a Wedding Cw-emoity- That Was Overruled." .

He started out after dinner for. a walk about thfe vtl. lage;, on <■ tbe, outskirts of which be came .upon a building thronged with people." The' balldlng' was a church, and a, wedding was about to take place. He edged his way through the crowd until i he reached a spot where be had a good view of tbe bride and bridegroom aad the clergyman who was about to per* form the ceremony. ' , ' The church was paeked, with tbe e* ceptlon of a low. dark.gallery near tbt roof. This was apparently deserted. r The' ministeri'proceeded'with tbe 'ceremony ontil be came to the point where custom required^ bim to pause and'inquire if there wasany'one prea-, ent who knew any reason why tbOi couple should not be made husband and wife. A hush fen upon tbe assemblage, - and every rie 'waited in breathless suspense. Something of a sensation was caused wben a voice came from the upper gallery, saying: "Yea, I do." All eyes were turned to the gallery, where,' seated all alone In tbe gloom, ^ham!y_41fl<__i_!b!£,-ws5 a-sissSc-lcck4**" little man. with a haggard face and disheveled hair.

' ' ■ ' ■ ' -- ' Temperance People, Wake Up. < The elections are announced for November 25th. Nominations take place November II th. The Plebiscite vote for a Local Option Law will take place at the same time as the election. Now is the time for church, temperance and moral people to wake, up. , The Local Option League aims at giving the right to every citizen in British Columbia to say "Yes," or "No" to the licensed liquor traffic. This must be done, first, by obtaining a local option law, and then by letting the people in each city, town 'or district put the same into operation if .they desire to do so. It surely is the right of the people to say whether the liquor traffic shall be legalized or not. Therefore the coming Plebiscite vote will probably ask: Are you in favor of local option legislation ? Your answer will be "Yes 1 " Is not this a fair proposition ? 1 he Plebiscite vote and the general elections are at hand. A full temperance vote on the first and the election of local option candidates are your responsibility. If you are a voter, and a temperance, man, it is important you should get intoj- the primaries and conventions of your 'own political party, and see that local option candidates are nominated. Unless you do this, you simply play into theJiands.of the liquor men. We urge you, therefore, to take your place and part,in your own * ., political party and use your influence to get others to vote for this principle and for good men. If you claim not to be a party man, then consider under present circumstances that it is best to choose one or the other, in order to use your influence not for party reasons, but for the public good. Many of our best citizens have severely left provincial politics alone, consequently we are handicapped by the votes of the liquor men and others who want an open province. Therefore get into the primaries and conventions, and vote as you pray. If you want information or can, send a donation for our work, address it to ' D.

An' American boy nineteen years of age once found himself in London, where he was under the necessity of earning his bread. He was not like many young men in these days, who are "willing to do anything" because they know how to do nothing ; but he had learned how to do something, and knew just where to go to find something to do ; so he went straight to a printing office and inquired if help were needed. > "Where are you from . " inquired the foreman. "America,'' was the answer. "Ah." said the foreman, "from America, seeking employment aa a printer. Well, do you really understand the art of printing ? Can you set type . - Thai young man stepped to one of tho cases and "in a brief space set up this passage from the first chapter of St John: "Nathaniel said unto him, Can any good thing'come out of Nazareth > Philip said unto him, Come and tee." It was done so quickly and accurately, and administered a delicate reproof, so appropriate and powerful, that it at once gave him influence and standing , with all the office. He worked diligent]y„at his trade, refused to drink beer or any kind of strong drink,- saved his money and returned to America, became a printer, publisher author, post-master general, member of Cohgress, t signer of the Declaration of Independence, ambassador to royal court*, and finally died in Philadelphia.'at the age of eighty four.
