Ceofl- Rolf Bruhn minister of public works when they were In this section of the province Oliver la asking for an increased amount of oiling pointing out that the dust nuisance is severely felt on the main road during the fruit hauling period Hon Mr Bruhn expressed himself as favorably Inclined toward laying a type of asphaltic mixture from the boundary lino to Oliver on tho permanent grade now In effect Eventually this permanent grade surface could be extended north In view of the extensive use to which tho Oaoyooe-Ollver road la put in connection with hauling of fruit etc and by tourists and settlers the minister aald he realised that some permanent coating would be very desirable Maintenance costa would also be reduced Ron Mr Bruhn eta ted that after he had gone over the roads of the province he would be able to say what highways would receive attention and how much money they would get Tuesday sew the visitors at Princeton for the purpose of going over the constructed portion at the Hope-Prince ton road The minister of public works la keenly interested In the completion of this road he laid and would use every effort to push it ahead with the frmds available this year 1 On Wednesday the road between Princeton and Hedley was Inspected in company with District Engineer MacKay government before and won and they were prepared to fight again and win Even as time had gone along the two Doukhobor Interpreters had been ma king an effort to get the information from members of the colony with whom they were familiar Cedi Koochln who had aeen like escapades took time by the forelock and hastened to his car for protection Bill Reibln who had been successful in gaining like information from Sons of Freedom in the Kootenay tarried longer and was given a rough time but succeeded in making his escape with remnants of his clothing still intact Officer's Near Dierebcment It was at this moment that the interpreters were able to give the diplomatic officers timely warning The word was being passed around in foreign tongue for a general assault on Messrs Laldman and Galbraith for the purpose of forcing disrobe ment end the officials were able to successfully negotiate the distance to their car before the oncoming scene could be enacted Thus diplomacy in the hands of artists was given a careful and it ended Just where diplomacy in the past with Doukhobors has always ended with the Russian gentry on top It may take a long time for thoes who dont know to get acquainted with the fact that the only law that the 'Doukhobors have ever known la the law of force Brass Reflections Well Horace you are certainly an artist in diplomacy but somehow I dont think it was a bowling success Horace Perish the thought: the Kamloops Sentinel and Rev Dredge ideas

-finally laid over to be dealt with by the Central Executive at a meeting to be held at Midway Ben Norris of Grand Porta alio addressed the meeting briefly dealing with several matters of special interest his opinion as to how they should he done and extending considerable praise to the member on hie work of trying to please evryone Election of officers resulted in the following being chosen: Honorary Presidents Rt Hon Bennett and Hon Dr Tolmla Hon Vice Presidents Grate Hr ling Dr Kingston and Major Gkxsop President John Bruce Vice President Howard Smith Secretary-Treasurer Harpur William Johns Norris Wilson Harry Brown Maurice Jewell Tom Walker and Hulme Tha gathering was not larga as compared with former years and some of tho oldtime party friends were milling white other took their places successful' in BECENT NORMAL EXAMINATIONS refusing to serve them a hurried meeting of the Board of Trad was called Wednesday morning and the matter fully discussed A great deal of Indignation waa felt at the prospect of the Doukhobors being allowed to hold the Dominion In such contempt The meeting then authorised that a wire be sent to Grate Stirling P- who was asked to get In touch with Hon Btevens and Ealing and demanded that census law with respect to Doukhobors be enforced as with Canadians the telegram pointing out that "Many of thoee refusing to give Information have gone through high school and quite appreciate the fact that they are ridiculing the law" Wednesday night the Conservative Association wired Premier Bennett pointing out the aggravating situation stating that aa the Doukhobors had been brought to the country by the federal government it was felt here that the Dominion government should take action Bays Law Enfowoarenl Provincial Yesterday the Board of Trade had a wire from Mr Stirling stating that Hon 8tevena had wired Hon Mr Pooley asking for protection for census officers pointing out that as law enforcement is under provincial control the Dominion cannot step In unless asked to do so by the province There was keen tension all week aa the general public got Impatient with the lack of law enforce- ment and It became known that the delay wae simp-ly a parley between federal and provincial officers as to whose Job it wee Back of this delay was the fact that both provincial and federal officers were anxious to shirk what promises to be a fairly lively battle having In mind the stubborn fight put up on former occasions There Is nothing definite as to when the move will be made on the North Pork citadel but -the presumption Is that If sufficient assistance can be obtained In time action will be taken today otherwise it will be tomorrow Action ui be taken by the Provincial Felice Foref Friday afternoon or Baler day to effect the a met of six Deakhebers on the North Fork as leaders of the grasp of 115 who refused to give any censes information to the enumerator Tiffs Is being done under authority at the Attorney General Hon Pooley and it is expected that 50 or 100 additional special constables will have to be sworn in to effect the arrests as It is presumed the effort will mean the taking of the entire colony who stoutly refuse government domination of any kind The matter Is now In the hands of Inspector Crulckshank of Nelson who will arrive with a squad of police officers about noon on Friday Thus Census Commissioner La id man has finally won out in his demand for police protection that the federal laws upheld Leaked Like Failure Commissioner Laldman accompanied by his counsel Oalbrsith arrived Sunday evening from the Okanagan and with the company of two Doukhobors Cecil Koochln and Bill Reibln specially qualified Russians proceeded to the North Fork ranch of the Sons of Freedom faction of the Douk-hobora There they spent several hours In diploma -t tie effort with a view to getting census Information which had previously been refused to the local enumerator Kidd Palling In the effort they returned to town and -then proceeded to get advice cm the matter plac-ing the facts before the chief ststlclan Coats at Ottawa He Instructed the Issuing of warrants against six of the leaden which was done In the meantime the matter of executing the warrants was taken up with both the Provincial Police and the Royal Mounted Police Both refused to take any action This placed -the Census Commissioner in a dilemma that remained unbroken for several days Board of Trade Acts Learning of the aggravating situation of a federal officer having warrants to serve and police officers 1 LOOF Memorial Service The annual IOOF Memorial Day service wll lbe observed next Thursday evening June 25th Members of the order are asked to meet at the lodgeroom at 645 'Uhc Home Garden High School Static Doukhobors of tba North Pork have won the first two rounds with federal officers and are now expectantly awaiting the third bout which they bad expected would have taken place before this but owing to parleying bo- tween Ottawa and Victoria as to whose job it is to enforce the law It bei to look that the whole thing would end In another fiasco with honors again resting on shoulders of the It will be recalled that two weeks ago when Kidd local enumerator went to the North Pork faction of the Doukhobors instead of being able to get any information for census re turns they put on a nude demonstra tlon and refused any Information This being reported to his superior officer Laldman census commissioner for Vale accompanied by his counsel Galbraith of Vernon arrived from the Okanagan on Sunday and having arranged for the company of two Doukhobor interpreters Cedi Koochln of Grand Porks and Bill Reibln of Brilliant they proceeded to the Graham ranch with the object of showing how easily it Is to do a thing when done properly in other words that by dealing with the Doukhobors diplomatically as suggested by several friends of the Russians there should be no trouble Diplesnatie Carp Gees Perth Mr tfahnan and his diplomatic retinue went forth to the North Pork settlement all keyed up with the Idea that their work was as good as accom piirimd for hadn't it been insistently been repeated in Vancouver Kamloops and other metropolitan centres that the Doukhobors could not help but fall for diplomacy and anyway thorn people that live around Orand Porks where so many schools have boon burned are mostly to blame for the reason that they do not seem to understand the kindly nature of these fine Doukhobors who have lived in the district for more than 30 years Bo Commissioner Iaddman and Lawyer Galbraith sallied forth in their wmmisiM and as their interpreters directed the route they were amazed with the unusual location Arriving at the ecene they were Invited to enter one of the houses and as they talked fluently about the fine eurroundingq excellent weather and lovely rains everything went merry as the wedding bell even when they discussed that particular brand iff religion to which the Doukhobors claim to adhere they found ready response and detail explanation that everything was free to everybody Btin wondering how far this stuff" went and of course seeking to win confidence one of the ftism officials with that eeml-eerious twinkle in his while the eyes of bis pard danced with expectancy-queried aa to what attitude the Doukhobors would take If they (the officials) would come and live with and of course also go native! They were assured of a welcome and the suggestion did not seem to go estray with several of the young maidens who had recently passed through high school and had been surveying the gallant visitors

the lama with their harvest CaatrelUag Pasta Many a beautiful flower garden and a highly eatlsfactory stand of vegetables haa been partially or totally destroyed by attacks of Insect and fungus pests which aright easily have been controlled Roughly speaking the Insect enemies are divided into two those that eat holes in the foliage and thaw that suck out the Juices For the first-named poison la applied while the suckers are attacked with a burning spray which penetrates their hides Often when both are present a combination of poison and something that burns such as lime sulphur and arsenate give the best results The damage from the biting Insect ie usually quite apparent but the presence at the other kind ie only shown at first by a wilting or withering of tha foliage For sucking pests chief of which are the aphids or plant lice spray with whaleoU soap a quarter pound of soap to tha gallon and a half of water nicotine sulphate or Black Leaf or any other repellent secured from a reliable seed store Cod from a fine noaria from a high pressure will sometimes wash off tho peats When fungus attacks the plants the foliage ustally turns yellow -or brown or white spots like mildew cover the leaver' Fungus te usually moat common in warm murky weather Spraying with Bordeaux mixture or dusting with specially finely ground sulphur la advised Sulphur dust will also protect hollyhocks and phlox from rust if applied when tha disease first shows itself An ordinary tin can with tho top perforated ilka a salt ahaker makes a good duster Per flowers it well to add a dry poison such as arsenate of lead or tobacco duet to the sulphur ao that insects will also ha controlled Per eating Insects one may pray with paria green arwnate of lead hellebore or some of the many patent poisonous preparations Golf Is Golf From Coast 'To Coast Golf has assumed such important proportions in the makeup of modern everyday life that it constitutes a very real phare of the activities of
