After some routine business had been disposed of, President Cook reviewed the wo?k1 of: the Issti&sto convention at Nelson -last ibonth. Two features not dealt with in his report, which appears elsewhere in this issue, bad to do with an annual Institute ; sale;^at which; goods and chattels members wished to get rid Of are put up at auction. The other was the formation of the eastern Canada "beef ring^for. the winter supply of fresh meat for those connecting up with it. The delegate's action in keeping out of the comniitiee^to formulate plans . fpr the -proposed\co-operative creamery at Nelson was approved. The opinion wa^ freely expressed that the Cranbrook creamery was- entiUe^-'-:^ik)'' all the support Valley dairymen can give it. This year- patrons had been given fair tests, prompt payment for cream, and general satisfaction in every other detail; -.���.-���**' The demonstration Horticuifcurist Middleton had given on the^^U^ effect^ of ifcho^ - epriments aithe AdiaiSJ and S^lis & -;; Jackson; ranches^thisj s^y^^ii^ a Iii;a' lengfoy d^ -sprayquestion.; 5��hiiii;fbm?s^l;ha��ld! ��� ;;:;tliatja band power spray��� mftcbinBjea:reV ^fuljy h^ '���'''���"'work,-the 'meeting was'-^sl^nj^ po*wer.n��8&i^ a-of the smaller rariiic^^i:iniaayii*^^n\ -:;;go*h^tb^^ power ^wijyei/ could be financed, and, if the paitners; in^the -{machine c^ a^piee among? themselves as-to when each ''-wis' .to haye the use of it the scheme'-. hwould - work admirably aii round. TPor larger ranches fewer should go in on the purchase of a 'machine. The secretary was instrn-jted to write several spray machine manufacturing concerns for prices on machines ���both hand and power���in quantities, the idea being to have the Institute do the purchasing and also handle the r-epairs. This matter will be gone into more definitely next meeting. While in Nelson Mr. Cook reported he had been asked by a representative of the Nelson Jobbers wholesale house for a quotation on 1600 cases of Ores- ton canned tomatoes. The firm believed they coitld.be put up here right, and they would like to have all the canned tomatoes Creston could send them. The enquiry did not awaken much enthusiasm. Mr. Littlejohn believed a canning plant for soft fruits could be made go here, but forcanned tomatoes tliere was too much labor and help was too expensive. The cost of the cans to put the product up in was also excessive for a western plant to hope to successfully cone wi*-.h their big eastern competitors, though he believed the manufacture of ketchup might bo undertaken here with good reason to hope for success.

By their stubborn resistance to the Ottoman invaders, Rumanians, in common with the other peoples inhabiting Oriental Europe, made possible that stability and security that enabled Western civilization to develop, and, although they came under the sway of the Turks, yet the Rumanians, by their determined stand, so weakened the power of thc Moslem invaders, that they were unable to carry on the fight. Rosovo is a name sacred to all the Balkan nations that resisted Turkish rule. It was in 1389 that Mircea the Old, Prince of Wallachia, led the ! united Balkan armies against the <Turks. The battle was lost; the vanquished were placed under tribute, but their fight against their conquerors was carried' on for centuries. Like a great brcakwateV, these little nations held the Ottoman waves in check, and left western Europe free to forge ahead untrammeled by the fear of Moslem incursions. Until 1877 the tribute imposed five centuries earlier, following the battle of Rosovo, was the basis of the relations between Rumania and Turkey. Unlike Hungary, which for over a century was a Turkish province, the Rumanian provinces never fell completely under the sway of the conqueror. Under the suzerainty of Turkey, however, Rumania became a mere pawn in the politics of the great European powers. She lost Buko- wina to Austria in 1775, and Bessarabia to Russia in 1812. The jealousies of the European powers alone saved Rumania from greater territorial losses. Under Prince Carol, who was related to the King of Prussia .and to Napoleon III., Rumania maintained a. bolder front against partition and won her independence. Bulgaria since then has done much to keep alive Rumanian suspicions. At the outset of thc first Balkan campaign, 1910-11, Bulgarian official documents referred to thc.Dobrogea, which was Rumanian territory, as a "Bulgaria Irredenta." The double dealing of the Central Powers in the last Balkan war detached Rumania. Dreading the increasing influence of Germany in Bulgaria, Rumania turned to Russia. s Thc present war finds Rumania in a position favorable to the accomplishment of her most cherished dream���the inclusion under one flag of all Rumanians. . Transylvania is the cradle of thc ,1-lunianiaii nation. In Bukowina and Bessarabia the peasants, not given to change, have preserved all the customs and characteristics of the Rumanian race, including thc language. In Transylvania, despite Magyar oppression, the Rumanians form a strong middle class. Definitely detached from Germany, Rumania had not time, to recover from her fears of Russian influence on thc Bosphorus when thc European war called for a decision as lo her attitude. Moreover, the supply of all her war materials was in the hands of Krupps when thc war broke out. A weak Cabinet and an opportunist Prcmb*!- declared for neutrality. While thc Roumanians of Transylvania were forced lo tight in the Hungarian regiments against Russia, statecraft in Rumania turned to questions of trade. But the cry of Transylvania could not "for ever go unheeded.

U. 1124 Rule for Measuring Hay Which Has Been Proven Satisfactory Estimating thc number of tons of hay in stack by measuring is often resorted to when it is,inconvenient or impractical to weigh it. It is impossible to give a rule for measuring hay which is . entirely, satisfactory. Tlip following one has often been used, states Professor E. G. Scha'fcr, of the Washington Experiment Station at -Pullman, and approximates the correct weight: "Width plus over, divided by four and squared, then multiplied by thc length and divided byJ512." The above rules assumes that the cross section of a stack may he obtained by dividing the width plus over measurement by four and squaring it. Stacks vary so much, in shape that this cannot- he absolutely true witii all stacks. Tho above ������*ulc also assumes that there are 512 cubic feet in a-ton. Thc length of time a stack has been built, thc size of a stack or the amount it has settled, also the kind of hay, all influence the weight of a ccrlain volume of hay. The above or other rules should not be relied upon unless it is impossible to weigh hay when it is sold.

He is about the last of the members-elect to pay their respects to the coming premier, and the impression gains strength every day that it will be a case of "the last shall be first" when the makeup of the hew ministry is announced. ^a������> MO un 44 Never BY USING THE ALWAYS RELIABLE *= m* ffl&BgSS rrnv Holds S Imperial Gallons Evidence to substantiate the wisdom of the suggestion we made to the Red Cross workers' a couple With ! ������^ we^ks ago���������to the effect that a No valves, No pump.

Or, at least, the Vancouver Province, the livest one of the lot, sizes tilings up about right when it observes that Messrs. Smith and Sloan, being coal mining authorities, and with coal mining pretty well at its maximum capacity, that branch of the industry is of small importance as compared to the ���������j;rcat poM9tbi!iti������-������B in metalliferous mining. "'Under tbe circumstances," continues the Province, "a good many shrewd political observers at the -.-upital expect to see the portfolio uf mines go to John Keen of Kaslo, or Mr. Thompson of Phoenix. Roth of these men are said to understand knowing that last year it sent T.55 pairs of handknit socks overseas the showing is not so favorable when we recollect that Mrs. H. Hamilton alone knitted one-sixth of the whole lot, aud that she.> and two other^ ladies were responsible for one-fourth of the total output. Iu the matter 'f kneecaps Mrs. Watson made 45 of the 64 supplied.

Last week Canadian headquarters sent out an urgent appeal for almost every line of supplies the society requires and Creston*s output that we8k was 2 surgical shirts and 1 set pyjamas���������surely altogether too meagre a response in view of the Creston names that show from week on the casualty lists. The present system of sitting around hoping against hope that providence will send along ladies to take work home with them and thus make a really worth-while showing has proved a bit of a failure. Anything new, with some real sociability mixed in with it, can hardly be worse than the present state of affairs.

DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE, OTTAWA, OCTOBER 7th, 1916. .'H Tlse mmm***S0 When Now that the soldiers' vote, both in Canada and overseas, has been counted tho people arc getting curious as to whon Lieutenant-Governor Barnard will summon Mr. Brewster to assume command of the metal mining business, while I the B.C. ship of state. the appointment .of either would satisfy tho claims oi' Weat Koote ���������' nay for cabinet representation."

But seeing this little formality must bo complied with, aud thu documents are coming hy mail, it in like to be tho middle of November before the n iv.U4 ..i it, lultnhiistraUon vacates otflc'i wc fancy. However, now it in dotiriitoiy known who arc elected it is not likely many days will elapse after the provincial secretary receives the oversers election budget, till Mr. Bowser and his associates bid good bye to their portfolios and public greatness���������seeing the premier is the only one of seven or eight to do a come-back. It is important, too, that the new rulers should be installed as quickly as possible. There are several important appointments of one sort and another to make in oonneotion with the legislation recently passed as well as vacancies that havo occurred, including another Small Debts' Court judge afc Creston. Tho prospective ministers will be new to their work and will require some time to acquaint themselves with all tho features of it, to say nothing of having to go baek to their constituents for re-eleotion. In addition to all thoso the house will bc going into sossion in about three months and much time will he required by tho cabinet to deoido just what legislation will bo submitted for consideration at tho 11)17 sossion, and still more of it required for its preparation. If even the minor fraction of tho adverse criticism Mr. Brewster levelled at the present government is correct prompt action on tho part of tho new cabinet in desirable. The public wiii Im> looking for some corrective legislation at this session and the few weeks between now and the time the house meets will be none too many to ensure mature deliberation beforehand of even a limited sessional agenda. Patronage And this talk of getting tho Brewster government into office naturally brings to the fore that gentleman's pre-election pledge that if returned he would abolish patronage, or something to "that effect. In giving that pledge Mr. Brewster made no effort to explain just what ho considered "patronage," whioh may, or may not, have been good politics���������tho opposition would have accused him of reneging no matter how definitely ho might have explained the proposition. Partisans of both politioal stripes will interpret thc phrase to suit party ends no doubt, but we fanoy with most pooplo so long art Mr. Browstor takes good oaro that tho various positions his government will bo called upon to fill from timo to timo aro given to persons competent to fill them tho charge of violating his "no patronage" pledge will fail to fitiolc. The people as a wholo are not i ntorested in an officeholder's hefore- tippointmont political loaning^. Their chief concern io as to his ability to do the work devolving upon him without fear or favor. If there are enough Liberals available to competently administer any and all positions that may be open there will be no complaint if they are given first consideration. If, however, incornpatcnt supporters of the government are taken into the civil servioe, or positions oreated for the express purpose of taking oaro of some party friend, theBO are abuses of patronagowhicb operate to the injury of public interests, nnd by no hocus pecus can Mr. Brewster tolerate such practice and still hope to have the people boliovd that he has made good on no-patronage promise. What B.C wants is a competent lot of officials at the minimum expense. Ability and willingness to do tho work required up to standard should be the chief and only requirements of all officials. Strict adherence to fchene features will get tho government into no trouble even though they adopt tho frater- ijifil idea of "All thitigt! bamfe' cqvml givo tho brother tho proforcnoo."

These -district conventions will meet some time, prior to the annual convention held at Victoria. At the district convention resolutions will' be passed affecting their particular sections ���������' and thon passed^ on to the central convention for en- dorsation. thus eliminating a lot of repetitions of resolutions as in the past. Mr. Scott also outlined the department's intentions regarding delegates attending both district and central conventions.

Among the motions and discussions that took place perhaps the most important to those west of Kootenay Lake was on the co-operative creamery. The delegates were all strong for this, and a committee of all the delegates was formed to take, the matter up witk their respective Institutes with a view of starting one in Nelson. A resolution which caused quite a discussion was one to start Institute displays at the Nelson fair, in place of the district displays as in the past, which have waned- Mr, MeHardy; ft director of the Nelson fair board, was present and stated that he thought the fair officials would make grants to Institutes showing, as they had done for district displays. A committee of those present was formed to take the matter up with their owu Institute/ A lively discussion took place on the question of short coai-ses, especially those bearing on dairying and live stock, which some of the delegates thought had not been given due attention. After considerable talk on the matter Mv. Scott suggested thai if each delegate present would urge his Institute.to ask for short courses on these lines he would endeavor to get competent men with some equipment to give these lectures and demonstrations. He .also suggested that perhaps the Departihent! eould be induced to make up medicine chests and instruments, with instructions for usr'g them for fir^t aid to the dairyman and stock raiser. These first aid outfits to be under the direction of the Institute and to be centrally located for the benefit of its members. Tbe price of these chests he thought would run between $25 and $50 according to contents. A resolution was offered looking towards the extermination of gophers, but on discussion it was shelved as it had been dealt with at Victoria convention. Mr. Scott promised that the Department would send out again 1 this year gopher poison in he tablet! form as they did last year. Experiments this year had shown that poison grain had not been as.succcHsfnl an the tablets. Several other resolutions were offered but us they had been brought up and dealt with at, the last Victoria Convention thoy were dropped. Pa.

"You aren't writing love letters," was the supervisor's rebuke, "but railroad reports." Soon after this ultimatum was received by Garvey, thc memorable cloudburst and flood occurred at Trunkeyvilte.
