The Wingham Chautauqua has held their reputation and the guarantors will have a small surplus again this year, al- though tickets did not sell as readily as last season. Tickets will sell at 2,5o fo., next seaebn and we believe a larger nu rh ber of guarantors will sign the contract to bring them back to our town. WEDDING BELLS BAILEY--VANNER An interesting event took place in Lower Wingham, last Wednesday eve, at seven o'clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jas Bailey, wheu their only daughter, Louies Jane, became the bride of Mr. Frank Vanner of Whitechurch, recently returned from overseas; The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr, Snell of St Paul's church. The bride looked charming in white voile, with the customary bridal veil and carried a large boquet of white carnations and fern. Miss Risen of Lucknow acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Prince of White- church as groomsman, After the ceres mony, about thirty five set down to a very dainty dinner.

In Greek mythology, we read about the Gods living on Mt. Olympus but I think it is more likely that they made their home hi Qin' famous Rockies, Being a returned soldier, I naturally vieweclethe country from a military stand- point- and British Columbia is certainly a giants stronghold. Moantain fortress- es succeed each other for hundreds of miles and term an impregnable barrier against man's puny aggresiveness. Even with all the modern weapons of warfare it would take a million years to batter down those keeps and castles of the giants. A race of people could live in the valleys of B. C. and be absolutely immune from at- tack by hostile countries. I guess I QM speaking too Much in gen- eral, so I will try and be more concise. Coming to Banff, we passed through part of the Canadian National Parks and saw a herd of Buffalo. We had a short steel in Banff, about ten oiclocic at night. It was still liget so I walked around the Station for a few minutes, enjoying the bracing air and viewing the wonderful scenery. Leaving Banff, we continued through the great National Parks, passing the Great Divide at the boundary between Alberta and B. C. During the night we passed Lake Louise, called the mountain in the clouds Shortly afterwards we passed through the world famous spiral tunnels and came to Field, where the fam- ous Emerald Lake is situated, in the Yoho Valley, We lost or rather gained another hour there, changing from Moun- tain to Pacific time. We also travelled close to the Columbia river for a While during the night and early in the morning we went threugh the justly well known Connaught Tunnel. e Did you ever get writer's cramp Fath- er? Well! that is what makes my writing so wobbly now. This is a very long letter but we should worry the worst is Yet to come, Five a. m, found us at Revelstoke, on the Arrow Lakes, the point where you transfer to go down to the famous. Arrow Lake district. RevesItoke and Sicamons Jct., situated on Lake Shuswap, which we reached some little time afterwards, and where you change to go into the Okan- agan Lake district, noted for its fruit growing valley; are very pretty towns with 'beautiful surrounding cduntry. From Sicamons Jct. we soon passed on to Kamloops, another pretty place, where we found ourselves travelling along the Thompson river, with the Canadian Northern R., R. on the opposite side. Before coming to the mighty Fraser river, we passed along the edge of the awe-inspiring Thompson Canyon. Hun- dreds of feet down we could see the dan- gerous river. Near North Bend we crossed over the Fraser,. which we followed to our destin- ation, It is a very large, swift flowing and treacherous river, very hard to navi- gate. We still had the C. N. R. across the river from us and we could appreciate the danger of a possible accident, when we came to the Fraser Canyon and saw what a precarious hold the C. P. R. ap- peared to have on the other brink, know. ing that we were in much the same pos- ition. We followed the Fraser through West- minster Jct. to Vancouver, arriving there about ten p, m., having finished one of the finest tripe in the world, covering twenty seven hundred miles in a jittle over four days. In coming from Banff, we had dropped thousands of feet alti- tude, but the descent was so gradual as to be- hardly noticeable. Nearing Vancotree er, we passed through some fine fruit country but on the whole, it is still rough and needs a lot .of pioneer work before it yields much fruit. I have been visiting in Vancouver over a month now, and -I like thie country bet- ter every day. Undoubtedly, I am hav- ing a lovely visit mid enjoying life to the fullest extenteeeThe relatives are certainly showing ine a good time, and 1 am be- coming pretty well acquainted with Van- couver and surrounding country. Nearly everY day we are out on some expedition, motoring, 'boating, \ boating, fishing, pure and simple sight-seeing or climbing mountains. Quite often these little trips wind up with a theatre party, so you see I ani having a fine time and also seeing quite a lot of the country. Vancouver is Canada's front door, open- ing on the mighty Pacific ocean, through the straits of Georgia. It has a flee hare bur, almost land locked, and the en- trance through the sttaits is protected by Vancouver Island, Moontaine surround the city on three sides, those on the north towering above North Vancouver. On the western side the outskirts of the city touch the waters of Georgia Strait. Having suth a pretty. as Well as valu- able commercial location, Vancouver couldn't help but be a prosperous city. Being the ternaiiiii of the Great C. P. R. and also of the C. N. R. and G. N. R. else the head of Ocean going traffic, it holds a very enviable position among the cities of the world. There are five ship -building yards here, two in North Vancouver ac - cross the harbour, two On False Creek, an inlet In the center of the city, and one at *Westminster, twelve miles up the Fraser river, which empties into the Straits Of Georgia near Point Gray, about five miles outh of the dty. There are two arms of the Prager from below Westnaingter, forming Lulu Wand, a good farming district. The sults of the WINUIIA.M, ONT., THURSDAY, JULY 24th, 1919 river are from live to ten miles apart at Places. While Vancouver can't compare with Toronto as an industrial centre, yet' it is unexcelled anywhere in Canada as a place to live in They have a very even clim- ate all the year around and never know what excessive heat or cold is like. Per- sonally, I wouldn't like so much rain, but Vancouverites claire that it doesn't wet you very much. I believe Scotch people make a similar claim about their Scotch mists However they've got to show me as I never saw a dry rain yet. I tell them out here, that I would willingly put in a winter in Ontario just for the pleasure of enjoying the lovely fragrance of Spring, Another good feature of this country, is the lack of much wind. They claim that the rain takes the place of wind as a purefter of the air, The evenings are al- ways cool, owing to the close proximity of the ocean and that is a very nice feat- ure, which makes life all the pleasanter. Ivlost Easterners have an idea that they never have any snow out here. On the contrarY, it is an exceptional year when they don't have a little snow, Un- like the snow in Ontario which brings good cheer, out here it always seems to bring sicknees in its train. Besides having an equable climate, the surrounding country is very beautiful, There are many pretty spots around the city, Stanley Park which boasts of a very complete Zoological Garden, is a very pretty Natural Park. There the patri- archs of the forest still stand, looking down with cool disdain on the conqueror's of the red Indians, who once held sway there. The park borders on the water and is always a delightful resting place. English Bay is one of the most famous bathing beaches and is always a scene of life and aquatics. Some people bathe here all the year round. Burrard Inlet. forms the harbour_ and separates North and West Vancouver from the rest of the city. There are good bathing beaches in North Vancouver and the Coast Range of metnitains is only five miles away. The street cars take you within a short distance of the famous Capilano Canyon, which is several miles long and varies from orie.to four hundred feet in width, I have crossed the won- derful suspension bridge over the canyon. It is four hundred and fifty feet long and two hundred feet high. Grouse, Crown, Goat and the Lion's Mountains, ranging from five to six thousand feet in altitude, are often climbed and • present a great variety of scenery. Shaughnessy Heights is a new residental district to the south on the heights overlooking Vancouver- Burrard Inlet and English Bay to the north, Fraser River and the Gulf of of Georgia to the south and west, The district is laid out for beauty, with parks and boulevards and there are many very fine homes there. I have motored over their justly famous Marine drive here and it certainly is a wonderful pleasure jaunt. The roads are excellent and the scenery grand. There are so many stretches of water, bays inlets, rivers and the great gulf of Georgia, that naturally boating is a fav- orite past -time. The city ie noted far its pure water, drawing the supply from glacier led streams, with a total of one hundred million gallons available. Well I guess I have said enough about Vancouveie I spent a week on TJncle Pete's fruit ranch at South Seines in the Chilliwack Valley which is seventy miles up the Fraser river, It is a very inter- esting trip up there. I went on the In- ter -Urban railway via Westminister and Huntingdon, which is just this side of the border. Across the street is Sumas City on the U. S. side of the line. " At times we passed through stretches of good country but parts of it are still very rough and will take years of work before becoming very valuable. At some points we had a good look at Mount Bake, one of the highest mountains in the Coast Range to the south of us about sixty miles. We wound around the edge of the mountaits past Sumas Lake, caused by the overflowing of the Fraser, and -finally came into the fainous fruit country of the Chilliwack Valley. I spent a week there and motored around the valley quite a bit. We spelt a day on Cuitus lake, a very beautiful sheet of water, nestling in between two mountains and having forest along its borders. • Well father, this has certainly been -a long letter, I am expecting to start for Alberta in'a week or two from now. I intend to go via the Kettle Valley R. R. through the Okanagan and Arrow Lake district. I will have to go part way by steamer but that should make a very pleasant trip. I will connect up with the C. P. R. again at Kootenay landing and go through the Crows Nest Pass to Mac- Leod, Alta. Having been out West quite often, you will have been over much of the country, I have tried to describe so you can judge for yourself whether I have made a suc- cess ,or otherwise of my description of my trip. When I get to MacLeod I will send you an account Of the trip from Vancouver there. I know you have been over that route so we will see whether we noticed the sante interesting features of the coun- try. Hoping that you me all well at home and that you will write soon and often. I remain as ever, Your loving son Leon, 41,410.1 BORN Inwits-ln East Wawanosh on Friday, July 18th. to Mr and Mrs, Thomas H, Irwin, a son. PEACE CELEBRATION Crowds Take Part In The Wingham Thanksgiving The Celebration of the signing of peece by Germany and her allies Was fittingly observed at Wingham. Although the committee decided at the last minute and necessarily made hurried preparations yet everything came off well. About ten o'clock in the moraine a procession head- ed by the Wingham Citizens Band and composed of the Junior Chautauqua and other children and about fifty autos carrying returned heroes and their families proceeded down Minnie St. from the Wingharn park and returned by way of Josephine St. The services in the big Chautauqua tent were largely attended. Mayor Gurney acted as chairman and capably filled the position, Mr, Frank J, Hill had charge of the singing and Miss Nettie Christie presided at the piano. Addresses of an appropiate nature were delivered by Rev. E, F. Armstrong, Rev. J, F Dingman, Mr. A H. Musgrove and Hon. Frank Bale. At 1.30 the following races were run and the prize winners were: Girls and Boys, seven years end under -Nancy Taylor, Willie Horne, Mary Lutton I3oys' race, under 10 years - Walter Donaldson, Frank Ford, Glen Gar- niss.

Young ladies' race, 17 years to 70-Tessie Fyfe, Tena McEvers, Isabel Watson. War Veterans' Race -Will Hinscliffe, Stanley Bates, C. R. Copeland. The Lucknow Pipe Band was engaged to play during the day, but owing to the fact that Lucknow was celebrating and that one of the pipers, Finlay McLennan, met with an accident while oiling his windmil, only two of the pipers arrived The boys did their best anti with the as- sistance of Will Hinscliffe on the drum they did very well The Chautauqua program commenced at three in the afternoon and with the ex- ception of a few selections by the pipers there was nothing more doing until 10 o'clock when the crowds assembled in large numbers on the front street. A jolly good natured crowd in fancy and comic dress paraded, danced and sang until midnight. Mr. T. R. Bennett acted as judge and awarded the prizes for the best dressed couples to ist. Alice Imlay and Phyllis Johns and 2nd to Eva Rin- toul and Alba Galbraith. The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings depart; Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart: Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget, BORN FIELDS—In Wingham, on Sunday, July 13th, to Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Fields, a daughter. 116.,—PS7H-0-M.EST-E.

Ferguson, writing from his home in White Bear, Sask. under date of June 23rd. says in parts, we are having terrible heat here, no rake and crops are wilting. Only summer fallow is growing, oats and flax have never shown up. Unless tor- rents of rain comes soon I am afraid crops will be a failure. We know of several farm- ers who are letting their men go becauee of the failure of crops. Ed. is plowing stubble land where the wheat is dried up. The weeds appear to grow in spite of the drought. Hot winds and dust make it very hard on man and beast." We have heard that in some parts of the West the crops are very good the rains are coming frequently. While it is regrettable that in some parts of the West the crops are a failure yet it is a bleseine to know that at /east in some, pails the ' CtopS are very good.
