In the Dominion Electoral District of Yale-Cariboo, Provincial East Riding of Yale and Mining Recording Division of Vernon, is situated on the line of the Shuswap and Okanagan Rwy, four miles from its terminus on Okanagan Lake, and is the centre of one of the largest and richest agricultural districts in the Interior. Since the advent of railway communication the town has grown wonderfully and is a duly incorporated City. There is a post, money order office and post office savings bank, also telegraph and express office, and a daily mail service. There is also a branch of the Bank of Montreal and an office of the Wulffsohn banking and financial firm. Vernon is the great distributing point for the Lower Country, and in addition to its railway connections, it also controls the navigation of the Lake. An ably conducted newspaper, the "Vernon News and Okanagan Farm Live Stock and Mining Journal" is another feature of the progress of Vernon.

VERNON

Population - 2,500

The city of Vernon derives its name from Forbes G Vernon (at one time Minister of Lands and Works in the Provincial Government) and his brother, Charles, both of whom formerly owned large properties in the district, including the Coldstream Ranch. These were the days when Messrs O'Keefe, Tronson, Price Ellison, Greenhow, and other "Old Timers" ran their large herds of cattle over the very ground which is now being split up into fruit lots. What cattle raising meant then, to the village of "Centreville", as it was termed, that, and more, does fruit-culture mean to the city of Vernon today.

Over the vast Prairie Country to the eastward of the Rocky Mountains is spreading a nation whose local climatic conditions absolutely preclude any attempts at successful fruit-growing; therefore their needs must be met by those who are best able to do so. In this respect the Okanagan has demonstrated its fitness for the position of caterer: hence, all available land is in great demand, and has consequently become very valuable.

The position of Vernon (with its immense tributary district) lying as it does, at the centre, or "Hub" of the Okanagan, has been largely instrumental in the upbuilding of the city, for it is on this account the shipping point on the railroad for the large quantities of produce destined for the outside world. During the busy season boatloads of all manner of fruit arrive from the lake towns on the south, whilst from the Coldstream Valley to the eastward hundreds of tons are brought by wagons, and from all other directions fruit pours into Vernon for shipment---and not only fruit, but hay and grain, potatoes and every variety of garden and field produce, as well as lumber, cattle, canned goods, and the many other necessaries of life.

Situated on elevated ground, and girt about with sloping hills, whose orchard-covered benches extend back to the mountains, the situation of the town is admirably chosen. If we take the letter "Y" and invert it, Vernon would lie at the junction of the forks. We should have, as it were, the main valley stretching northward through Armstrong and Enderby, and terminating at Sicamous, forty-six miles distant. The south-west arm ("Priest Valley", an open farming country) would bring us to Okanagan Lake. The south-east fork reaches to the Mission Valley at Kelowna, embracing Long and Wood's Lakes, which extend for 15 miles almost parallel to the Okanagan Lake. Another branch from this fork, in an easterly direction takes us to Lumby through the Coldstream and White Valleys, along good Government roads, such as are to be found connecting Vernon with all the outlying towns. These roads, since they for the most part wind through the valleys, present an ever-changeful scene to the eye of the traveller. In every direction lie the farms, orchards, green pastures, meadows and market gardens all flanked by grassy uplands terminating in timbered bluffs and rocky crags, from which, through the ravines, one or more streams ripple in a succession of trout pools on their way down to the deep, blue lakes. Along the route at various points irrigation ditches branch off, and, intersecting the land, re-branch until they become finally absorbed by the rich, warm soil---for, although not all the land here needs irrigation, yet the presence of water in this manner is a certain assurance of successful crops.

On reference to the latest pamphlet of the Vernon Board of Trade, and to statistics elsewhere in this "Guide", we shall see how the opening remarks relative to fruit and produce are borne out, but we must here confine ourselves to the mere statement that all kinds of sub-tropical fruits have not only done well in this locality, but have materially assisted in the distinction which the Okanagan Valley has gained at the various great exhibitions, as well as contributing to the individual prestige of Vernon itself.

The soil here varies little from that in other parts of the Valley, since it consists of a light clay loam and decomposed rock on the higher lands, whilst, on the bottom lands, this alternates in places with a rich black loamy soil.

The climate also--as elsewhere throughout the valley--is mild and dry. The summers, as the winters, do not show any great and prolonged extremes, owing to the tempering effect of the large lakes. Some years the thermometer may indicate zero, and even fifteen, or perhaps twenty degrees below, but these "spells" are only a matter of hours and are not usual. The hottest days--"the ripening days of fruit"--seldom reach 100 degrees, and cool evenings afford pleasant hours for rest and recreation. In short, the climate is ideal.

From the sportsman's standpoint the immediate vicinity of Vernon cannot be considered a "happy hunting ground"; for, in common with all thickly-settled districts, the encroachments of the agriculturist have caused the game to retire into the mountains. But if we are prepared to camp out overnight we may find very fair sport amongst the headwaters of the creeks in the neighborhood, or, again, on the west side of Okanagan Lake. Guides and horses may be procured if desired.

The fishing is very good. Trout, weighing 10 pounds, are often caught in the larger lakes, especially in Long Lake (the summer resort), which is only two and a half miles from the town, and along whose beaches the boat-houses and tents of the summer campers are picturesquely strewn.

Vernon has its full complement of sporting clubs and from time to time interesting matches take place with outside towns. So that the lover of football, cricket, lacrosse, baseball, etc. will find ample scope for recreation. In the winter the spacious skating rink permits the holding of carnivals and curling and hockey matches. Season tickets will here save the skater a journey to Long Lake, on the off chance of finding clean ice.

Vernon was incorporated as a city in 1893, with a mayor (WF Cameron, Esq) and five aldermen. It lies at an altitude of 1258 feet above sea-level, is 1196 miles from Winnipeg, and 382 miles from Vancouver. It is virtually at the end of the S & O branch of the CP Ry, if we except the short extension to Okanagan Landing. As an instance of the growth of Vernon we may here record the fact that the townsite of the city once sold for forty dollars, and later, changed hands for sixty dollars. At present although cheap properties may be obtained, it is not too much to say that six thousand dollars will not buy some of the business lots. In point of population the census within the city limits showed over 2500 for 1908 as compared with some 700 at the time of incorporation.

The city boasts of shady tree-bordered streets and avenues and has excellent electric lighting and telephone systems. Furthermore, the Council is spending some 60,000 dollars on a sewerage system which will place her to the fore amongst the cities of the Interior as soon as the problem of an increased water supply is settled. The central location of Vernon in the Okanagan Valley accounts no doubt for the Provincial Government Offices and Court House, wherein are held the Assizes semi-annually. The City Hall does duty for minor sessions, and for meetings of the various Civic Bodies, besides embracing within its walls the Police Station, The Public Library, and the Fire Station.

Vernon's hotels are spacious and modern. The new 50,000 dollar Hospital; the branch institution of the Provincial Asylum for the Insane (mild cases only being treated); the Churches and Public Schools in most cases re-modelled, or entirely rebuilt, to suit the needs of the rapidly-growing population; the sash and door factories, the steam laundry, two printing and publishing offices, viz., those of the Vernon News (published Thursdays) and the Semi-Weekly Okanagan (published Wednesdays and Saturdays), and a meat-packing factory and a brick yard, both on the outskirts of the town, still further swell the number of local industries and bear witness in other ways to the importance of Vernon as a growing city.

The present Post Office (CB Lefroy, Postmaster) is situated on the main street (Barnard Avenue), four minutes walk from the station. Mails may be had during the usual business hours and boxes can be rented at a nominal figure. A new Post Office, which will supplant the present one, is shortly to be erected near the station, and will include the Customs Offices. The Bank of Montreal, too, will build a costly structure on Barnard Avenue during the coming year.

The Coldstream Packing Co, Ltd, ships a large quantity of fruit and farm produce; and a Farmers' Association assists in the furthering of technical knowledge amongst the many who are interested in Agriculture. Again, the Vernon Fruit Co, Ltd, handles fruit and produce in the city and district, whilst a Board of Trade, composed of the leading business men of the city, looks after the welfare of local business.

A company of The Okanagan Mounted Rifles, numbering some 120 members (and having its own band) has recently been formed, and the calibre and membership of this and the various sporting clubs are very high.

Music is dispensed by three good bands--the Fire Brigade Band, which is in a high state of proficiency, and gives public entertainments throughout the summer months; The Okanagan Mounted Rifle Band, and that of the Salvation Army which is well organized. The Drama is upheld by a very capable Amateur Operatic Society.

1910

VERNON

Population—3,000

An incorporated city on the Shuswap and Okanagan Railway (CPR), 46 miles from Sicamous Junction, and has in addition to the government offices, branches of the Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank, and also two newspapers, which have creditably reflected the enterprise of the district. It has daily communication via the Canadian Pacific Railway, with the southern country, and as far as the International boundary by means of steamers on the Okanagan and Dog Lakes, and by stages to various points of the district.

The city is beautifully situated and the climate is healthful and exhilarating and will undoubtedly attract a large population of farmers and small holders from other parts in Canada, seeking for such conditions as exist there. It boasts of all modern improvements, such as municipally owned water and electric light systems, sewerage, public and high schools, five churches, two banks. Has many fine mercantile establishments, well equipped hotels and sewage systems, fruit packing houses, saw mills, sash and door factories, and other flourishing industries. Many fine drives and good level roads lead to the large tract of orchards by which it is surrounded. It has two beautiful lakes within easy distance, one being 2½ and the other 5 miles from the city. The shores of these lakes are the summer resort of a very large portion of the inhabitants of the city, affording as they do excellent advantages for boating, camping, fishing, etc.

In the immediate neighborhood some thousands of acres of orchards with a further large acreage that is classed as first class fruit land. The celebrated Coldstream Ranch is in this district.

VERNON

Population — 4,000

The centre of the largest fruit growing and farming locality in British Columbia, was incorporated in 1898, and occupies a central position in the Okanagan Valley, being virtually the terminus of the Okanagan rail line of the CPR, 46 miles south of Sicamous, on the main line, and connecting through Okanagan Landing, 4 miles south, with the Okanagan Lake points in Southern Okanagan, and is 382 miles east of Vancouver. It has the offices of Provincial Government Agent; Assistant Horticulturist; Provincial Agriculture Department; Land Commissioner, Osoyoos Land Recording District; Provincial Police Chief Constable; Gold Commissioner, Vernon Mining Division; Sub-recorded Greenwood and Arrow Lakes Mining Division; Agent Dominion Department of Indian Affairs, Okanagan District; Deputy Collector Inland Revenue (Canada); Sub-Collector of Customs, out port of Revelstoke; and District Registrar of the Supreme and County Courts. The city enjoys all modern conveniences, has Anglican, Presbyterian, Methodist and R C churches, public and high schools, CPR and Government telegraphs, fruit growing, packing, canning and evaporating are the principal industries. It is the largest city in and the distributing point for the Okanagan district.

As regards marketing and shipping facilities Vernon is exceptionally well favored. The district is served at present by the CPR, which connects it with the Prairie Provinces, which afford a ready market for agricultural products of all kinds. Now that the war is over the export of apples to Great Britain, Australia and other countries will no doubt be resumed in ever-increasing volume. Owing to the great increase in production, the Canadian National Railways Board has decided to at once proceed with the construction of the Canadian Northern Railway through the district, connecting up with the main line at Kamloops; this will again expand the already large market for local products. Vernon and district are well served as regards shipping concerns. Several important fruit and produce shipping houses have their headquarters in this city, and in Vernon is also centred the selling agency which handles the output of the various co-operative organizations of the valley.

A feature of the year's activities of the co-operative organization has been the formation of a subsidiary storage company among its members, and the mammoth frostproof warehouse being erected by this company is now nearing completion. It is the largest building of the kind in the West, being 400 by 80 feet is size, with a frostproof basement and first storey capable of storing about 250 cars of apples.

Mixed farming is very profitable in the Okanagan, and in the Vernon district a large acreage of suitable lands is available for this purpose. On the north side of Vernon the Land and Agricultural Co of Canada have an estate of 17,000 acres. The soil is the very best.

Eight thousand acres of this are irrigated, 600 acres in orchard, 9,000 acres of range land, and 800 acres in hay, mostly alfalfa.

The company have at the present time 1,000 head of cattle.

The land is operated to show results that can be obtained and settlers will have the advantage of this experience.

It is a well established fact that stock ranching in the Okanagan and adjacent valleys is considered one of the most profitable undertakings, as frequently all classes of stock can feed on the open range from March till December.

The climate is admirably suited for outside feeding through the few winter weeks that feeding is necessary.

From Vernon, up to the end of November, there have been shipped 491 cars of fruit, 456 mixed cars, 225 of vegetables, 16 of hay and 39 of livestock, making a total of 1,127 cars, valued at $1,127,000. Express shipments came to 18,310 packages, valued at approximately $27,465. The Graham evaporator has purchased from local farmers during the season, 3,000 tons of potatoes at an average price of $22 per ton, making a value of $66,000. The Dominion canners have bought locally, fruit, tomatoes and vegetables to the amount of $22,000. The vinegar works have purchased culls and other apples running to a value of $7,800.

District Superintendent McNabb of the CPR, furnishes the information that from the first of June to the end of November a total of 2,769 cars of fruit and vegetables was taken out of the Okanagan by the CPR, and during the same period 217,500 packages of express, aggregating 5,437,000 pounds, were shipped. Express shipments this season increased by 50 per cent over those of last year.

The Department of Agriculture of British Columbia have established here a branch, whose officers are always at the service of the grower to give assistance with advice regarding cultural methods, control of pests, and other problems with which the grower may have to contend in the growing of agricultural and horticultural products. This service also is effective in curtailing and controlling orchard pests, thus insuring perfect fruit.

The Vernon district offers great attractions to the hunter and fisherman. There is an abundance of feathered game, including many varieties of grouse, prairie chickens, ducks, geese, partridges, etc, within easy access of Vernon. The more mountainous districts offer various species of large game, among which are deer, caribou, moose, mountain goat, bear and mountain lion.

In both Kalamalka and Okanagan Lakes trout and other fish abound, and in the mountain streams and lakes the speckled beauties give the angler every opportunity to indulge in this pleasant and healthy pastime.
