Mention has been made by the Ga.
zette of new packing house built this
fall by A. A. Werley, on his orchard
tract, one of the choice holdings in
the Ellis-Forde tracts, but no partic-
ulars of this important improvement
were available when the item was put
in type. We have learned that this
packing house was built on the latest
Improved scientific principles applied
Ito that character of structure. The
building is provided with a system
Iof air chambers and flues, which reg
|ulates the temperature at all seasons.
When the weather is hot fresh air can
|circulate through the building, and to
|guard against damage from cold the
|flues connected with the basement al
lows of a warm current of air to cir
culate from furnace. The plant was
built on record time, as 1t was COM
|pleted in % days after ground was
broken for the foundation. Mr.. Werley
calculates that he will harvest some
5000 boxes of choice apples this seas
Ion, and as apples are commanding
good prices thst number of
boxes represents a very comfortable
lpot of money

]. M. East, until recently a resident
of the Tonasket neighborhood, now
making his home at Ogden, Utah, was
in town Saturday. Monty East, as he is
|familiarly known, is one of the most
popular young men who has grown up
from childhood in the north part of
the county, and when he elected to
lleave his old home to locate else
where his multitude of friends sim
(cerely regretted that he found such a
step necessary. However las he has
wet his feet in the Okanogan, and
there is tradition that when that
once happens to a man no matter how
lfar he travels afield eventually he
returns to the valley, there is hopes
that Jeems will at some future day
lagain make his home in Okanogan
|county. He reports that Mrs. East, who
shares the general popularity with
himself, is in excellent health.

room to the gym. The building was in
total darkness and around every turn
in the stairway was white sheeted
Ighost. Wild and bloodcurdling shrieks
were heard from the freshies, but all

GAME CONsERvERs IN COUNCIL.


Iterest in the propagation and protec.
ltion of game, and is member of the
Icounty game commission, made triI
ito Penticton accompanied by Chas. A
Powell, of this place, and while in thai
British Columbia city had conference
with officials relative to stocking lakes
with game fish. The last issue of the
Penticton Herald has the following
to say regarding that conference:
What the state of Washington ii
doing to encourage game and fish pro.
duction within its borders was des-
|cribed here the other day by State
Senator George J. Hurley, a member
|of the Washington fish and game CON-
mission. Senator Hurley met Magis-
trate Guernsey and that ardent angler
T. Andrews, and Immediately the con-
versation settled about the question
of stocking the lakes with fish and
filling the mountains and valleys with
|feathered game. Senator Hurley was
accompanied or his trip to Pentictou
by Game Warden Sam Farver Of To-
nasket
1t was at once apparent from the de
|scription given of Washington game
conditions that the government there
lis actually doing something for the an
iglers and nimrods as contrs sted with
the general apathy of both provincial
and Dominion administrations on this
side of the line. Whereas here in B. c..
IL 10 in, cih1n tn fscb
hatchery established because each gov
|ernment passes the buck" to the 9TH
Ter, in Washington state there are doz-
ems of these hatcheries. Last year the
state hatcheries produced over seven
teen million fry of all kinds. Ova was
and Duluth without loss or damage
Every effort is made to keep up the
supply of game fish and fry of various
species are introduced into the lakes
and streams in constant endeavOr to
repelnish the stock. Irrigation has so
ruined the natural spawning grounds
in taking away the water from the
streams running into the orchard dis
tricts that the Washington commission
considers it advisable to- provide a
steady supply of fry for each locality.
The state co-operates with each county
in establishing hatcheries which are
of standary type costing $4,000. The
county puts up $500 of this amount
and the state gives the remainder.
Senator Hurley told of the introduc-
|tion into Osoyoos lake of half mill
Jon steel head trout fry, many of which
no doubt viii find their way up here
He suggested that possibly arrange
!ments could be made to donate TO this
district a quantity of silver trout eggs
leach year for four years If the Canad-
|ians interested would pay the cost OF
Matching them into fry and Of trans.
planned that as silver trout has much
the same instinct as the salmon and
dies off in four years 1t would be nee.
|essary to keep the supply for that
time at least in order to get a good
start in Okanogan lake.
Needless to say some effort will be
made to take advantage of Senator
Hurley's kind offer in view of the fact
that it seems impossible to get any fry
from our own Canadian authorities for
these waters.
The visitor described the work being
done at the state game farm at Walla
Walla From there pheasants and 9th
Ter game birds are continually being
distributed throughout the entire
state"
