J. C. Dunwaters, to Fairbridge Farms and the apparent implication that the eccentric "Laird of Fintry" was retiring from the cattle business, came as a complete surprise to local Ayrshire breeders. Captain Dunwaters, who as much as any single person can be credited with the maintenance and revival of the popularity of the Ayrshire cow in British Columbia, announced the presentation Wednesday. The wealthy scion of a Scottish newspaper family lavished his money on the development of the Ayrshire breed in B.

C. He was instrumental In securing the appointment of and expenses for an Ayrshire fleldman In the province. He gave outright an entire herd to the University of British Columbia, a herd that was the basis for the present university group, one of the foremost Ayr shire aggregations In the province, Addressed Field Day Captain Dunwaters was an honorary president of the B. C. Ayrshire breeders association and as such, passed his greetings by letter to the annual field day at Eden bank farm recently.

He pressed for a united effort to increase the popularity of the Ayrshire, and sug gested that the United States, rather than China, was the proper market for the Scotsman's cow. "Why should we give Orientals the benefit of the good old Scotsman's cow," he wrote. Now Fintry will become the second Fairbridge Farm school in British Columbia. The first establishment is at Duncan, where Capt. Harry Logan, a native son of Chil liwack, is in charge.

Fintry will be the fifth Fairbridge branch in the Empire, for there are three others in Australia. To Train Children The organization was started to furnish English children with a background and training that would enable them to take their places in the agricultural life of Canada and Australia. They are provided with a sound, methodical and extensive training. The 2500 acre Fintry estate is situated on the west side of Okan 'agan lake 24 miles from Vernon A conservative estimate places the value of the farm at $500,000. It is th result of expenditures of untold wealth and 25 years of application.

The property consists of 100 acres orchard lands, 170 acres hay lands, 150 acres of grounds with the residence, and range land 2100 acres. The hills slope sharply down to the Fintry flat, which extends for a half mile to the lake. Scenically it would be difficult to find a more attractive point of land than that on which the residence, orchards, and home farm have been located. Excellent Buildings The principal residence is a commodious stone bungalow surrounded on all sides by typically English lawns and ornamental gardens, covering about four acres. Naturalness of this section of the property has been delightfully preserved by the retention of many of the magnificent pine trees.

The house is constructed of stone and lime with asbestos roofing. Living quarters consist of a sitting room, dining room, and large trophy room. The walls are adorned with big game heads. Two separate and complete heating systems hot air and hot water have been installed. The basement includes a wine cellar and larder.

A feature of the house is a very large attic. Verandas extend along three sides of the house. Two other substantially built brick houses form part of the estate, as well as a number of log cabins for employees. The manager's two storey house is attractive and is of hollow brick with all modern conveniences. There are, besides these, six other houses on the estate, as well constructed.

Own Telephone Service There is direct telephone service to all houses on the estate. The creek drives a large dynamo in one of the farm buildings "which sup plies electric light wherever required, for power for machinery and also for light. In the event of a water shortage, connections have been installed to have the dynamo operated by tractor. The Fintry estate is undoubtedly best known for its wonderful herd of Ayrshire cattle, which is gener ally considered one of the three or four best in British Columbia. It was carefully built up, as the major interest of Captain Dunwaters, from selections in Scotland, Brit ish Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

One of the most noted bulls is Noble Betsy Wylie, which has been among the leading R.O.P. sires in Canada. Complete farming and orchard equipment is included in the gift. Large storage tanks are located away from the buildings for fuel supplies. Fintry has absolute control of its own water supply an important factor in a semi arid country.

A pumping plant is installed near the lake which can more than take care of all the requirements of the property, even if the fruit acreage were greatly augmented. Packing Plant A modern packing plant is lo cated at the edge of the lake. All facilities for packing and grading and storing are installed. Produc tion over the past ten years has averaged 22,000 boxes. The orchard itself contains some THE PASSING OF THE TRIBE W.

F. LAIDLAW Deep Water, B. C. Paddling my dug out up Web ster's Eddy on my way to Ruby Creek, with the evening sun behind me, I saw old Charlie, the last Medicine Man of the tribe. A huge tree trunk projected out from the river bank and on it stood Charlie, his naked, bronzed, and pigmented body gleaming in the sun.

Fascinated, I quit paddling and watched the old man as he looked up the river to the purpling mountains in the distance and chanted a weird prayer or so it seemed to his god. My clearing on the south bank of the Fraser river was about a mile downstream from the Canadian Pacific Railway Ruby Creek station on the north bank. The old Yale road, an eight foot trail, followed the south bank and was chiefly used by the Lower Fraser Indians on their annual 24 th of May outing to Fort Hope. They came in hundreds, their wagons piled up with horse feed, blankets, tents, and provisions. Their return rate of progress could be measured by the number of square face gin bottles left by the wayside.

To perpetrate an Irish bull, the real road was the Fraser river, and every day a regular fleet of canoes ranging in size from tiny one man dug outs to huge war canoes with staring yellow or red eyes painted on the bows moved up and down stream. Upriver and adjoining my farm was the Ohamil Indian Reserve. The Indians had already adopted many of the white man's ways, even to erecting churches and visiting them once in a while. As in a good many churches, the member who makes the most noise Is the most highly esteemed so, on the Reserve, the bell ringer's job was most eagerly sought for. On the First of July we held our great yearly celebration.

White people and Indians from far and near assembled on the river bank in front of the Reserve, where a stretch of turf half a mile long and two hundred feet wide made an ideal playground. Old squaws, each draped in a gay Hudson's Bay blanket, occupied the grandstand and they would sit all day long dis cussing the various events. An Indian girl who had been working in Vancouver arrived one First of July. She was dressed in pink from head to toe pink hat, pink dress, pink stockings, pink shoes. She was a perfect picture, even though the pink did accentuate her features and dark color.

Just as the sport clothes or lack of clothes accentuate the "beauties" pictured in the society and movie magazines. All day long Miss Pinkie's mother followed her everywhere she went and I'm sure no pushing or climbing white woman who had wangled a daughter through the Court of St. James felt half the satisfaction of the old Indian mother. Forty years ago very few of the older Indians understood English. Nowadays there are very few Indians left who can speak the tribal tongue; instead, every Indian boy can read the "pulps" and every Indian girl, like her lighter colored sisters, searches the "slicks" for her favorite lipstick or "I'm glad you told me" pictures.

The Chinook jargon, made up of a few words accompanied by many gestures, was the accepted means of communication. It was customary to greet an Indian with "Kla how ya," meaning "How are you?" and on leaving him repeat "Kla how ya," adding "Nika Kla twa," meaning "Good by, I go." One spring day I paid a visit to an old couple living on the Reserve, a couple who for over thirty years had been my very good friends. They were great lovers of flowers and every summer had a wonderful garden in which the old lady would sit and dream or else skilfully weave cedar root baskets. The old man had a weakness for plum wine and the day before my visit had been indulging it. The old lady wanted to give me a dahlia bulb she had laid aside in the root cellar for me.

She opened the cellar, I looked in and for a minute I thought a concrete mixing machine must have been at work. The old man had been in the cellar looking for plum wine and had found it before he started looking for it. Without its aid he could never have mixed up the contents of the cellar the way he did. I would have given an eye tooth Reeves Given 40 Per Cent Concession Peace Restored After Heated Conference With Premier Pattullo. Hon.

Wells Gray To Rescue Premier T. D. Pattullo and the provincial government Thursday made a relief concession worth more than $300,000 to the municipalities of British Columbia towards the burden of relief for un employables. The government, in brief, finally agreed to pay 40 per cent of the relief cost. In March of this year the government had placed the entire 100 per cent burden on the municipalities which caused the tremendous movement of protest.

A delegation of 34 reeves, mayors and municipal officials from the Fraser Valley Reeves' association and the Union of B. C. Municipalities won the concession after two conferences with the government. Reeve R. C.

Macdonald of Coquit lam was chief spokesman for the Union and Reeve A. C. Hope of Langley headed the reeves' The first conference was a heated one and nearly broke up in disorder. The Premier asked for detailed figures about the extra burden of unemployables. Reeve Macdonald replied that the government had been given detailed figures two months ago.

Asked for a definite statement of policy, the Premier retorted that the government would take its own time." The deputation left. The delegates then held a meet ing with Hon. A. Wells Gray, placing their case before him and asking for a better reception. The delegates said they represented 78 municipal groups and "meant busi ness." Mr.

Gray spoke to Hon John Hart and saw the premier and restored peace. The premier re ceived the delegation again at 4 p.m. and announced the favorable concession. This new government offer of a 5,000 trees. The home property and meadows lie on the Fintry fiat, adjoining the orchards.

In the center of the numerous buildings is a picturesque octagonal barn. Behind is the dairy. Close by are other sheds and stables, a granary, silo, pigsties, moveable chicken houses, blacksmith's and carpenter's shops, sawmill. All buildings on both farms are in the best repair. Ample hay for all farm stock is obtained from the farm lands, in fact the third crop of alfalfa is never cut.

Grazing rights over sev eral thousand additional acres have been secured in case it is desired to range beef cattle. ffRLCKARD to have been able to follow the old lady as she, in original Siwash, dressed the old man down. I didn't understand a word of it but I sensed her meaning. Then she changed to Chinook and ended up by telling what the "Keek lee ha Tyee" (the god in the hole in the ground) would do to him if he ever entered the cellar again. A few months afterward I visited the old lady's garden and helped to carry the old lady to her last resting place.

Again, before the turn of the leaves, I visited a neglected garden and helped to carry the old man to his place beside her. As I stood by the graveside, besides a natural sorrow, a thought, dim and indefinite, that I was at two ceremonies, haunted me. Old Jack, the friend of my years, had joined his wife. But I looked at the priest, the full choir, the hundred or more mourners gathered round the grave and I came away from the cemetery wondering. A few years later while visiting in Vancouver, my host invited me down to the basement one evening after dinner to see some motion pictures taken along the Fraser river.

Came a picture; the old lady in her garden. Earnestly she worked at her baskets, she moved her tongue into her cheek as she chose a cedar root, blushed a mosquito from her arm as the old man hurried to take his place in the picture. Came a picture; a canoe about to cross the river old Pierre Ohamil at the stern and old Harry the last mask and ceremonial robe maker of the tribe hoisting the sail. I watched the breeze strike them and start the canoe over the river. Yet they both lay beside old Jack and his wife.

In a flash, the indefinite and vague thought that had puzzled me at old Jack's funeral crystallised I had witnessed the passing of the tribe and its civilisation, a civilisation which began about the time of the downfall of the Roman Empire, when Christianity was beginning a new civilisation to creep over the then known world. I wonder how long it will be before the priests of another civilisation will be officiating at the grave of the present order? contribution of 40 per cent is retroactive to April 1. The offer was for 50 per cent of the "extra burden." Previously the government had paid 80 per cent of the cost of unemployables, so the net ofler is read at 40 per cent of the total cost. The "extra burden" on the municipalities was estimated at a year. The delegation also heard from Hon.

G. S. Pearson, minister of labor, who announced that in cases of disputed classification of tin unemployable the municipalities could appeal to the minister. Mayor C. A.

Barber and Municipal Clerk S. Leslie Brice represented Chilliwack city and township on the delegation. Ever Wonder Wby You're Constipated?
