People living in cities up coun- try and in the c'ountry districts generally want entertainment just as much as their city breth- ren and the Vancouver Exhibi- tion Association has arranged for a wonderful program. Tomorrow (Saturday, Aug- ust 9th), the famous Caledonian Games with 500 pipers, dancers and athletes will be the bill of fare. Tonight and tomorrow night the outstanding Scottish pageant Rob Roy will be staged by a talented company, more than 200 in number. Beginning on Monday, August 11th and until the end of the Exhibition the World Champion- ship Stampede with sensational riding and other range stunts will be featured. This will be an epic. Every evening the Fires of Vulcan pageant will be played with stupendous fireworks effect. There will be international sheep dog trials, golf driving contests, band contests and a great skid- road. And above all a sensational air gliding contest every day. Two air gliders, three automobil- es, one motor cycle, will be given away on the advance sale of tick- ets and tickets are selling for the small price of three for one dollar. Make up your mind to go and send for your tickets. Two little urcbinx stood with their noses pressed against a barber shop window, watching the white-coated attendants perform their mysterious rites.

Electric Railway Company's hydro-electric development at Ruskin is rapidly taking on the appearance of a finished struct- ure. The concrete walls snd roof have been poured and the various divisions comprising the interior layout of the building are nearly completed. The steel frame of the switch and bus structure on the roof of the power house has been erected and painted and the equipment is being installed. This switching structure is, as it were, the send- ing station from which the Rus- kin power will be transmitted at high voltage to the Burnaby sub- station 30 miles away. Inside ihe power house there is great activity. All material for the turbine has been deliver- ed and erection work is proceed- ing rapidly. Already the runner and shaft and speed ring have been set in position. Major equip. ment comprising the generator and exciters has also arrived and the assembly work has corn menced. Rapid progress has also been made with the other important phase of hydro-electric develop- ment, namely, the dam. About fifty per cent of the concrete hss been poured and form work is going ahead. The term 'form work'efers to the manner in which the concrete is poured in divisions. When one wooden frame or form has been erected, concrete is poured into it snd allowed to set while another form is heing fille at a different: place on the dam structure. In this wsy the dam is built up in a seri es of blocks or forms. Nearly 160,000 barrels of ce- ment will be fed into the mixing plant which uses the gravel and sand from the river bed to make concrete. The concrete is dis- tributed to the workers on the dam in two ways. A stiff-leg derrick takes some up from the central hopper at the base of the shute and drops it wherever re- quired, while a noverhead cable- way running straight out from the mixer also dumps out con- crete. The two penstock tunnels form yet another scene of operations. The concrete linings have been completed and the steel penstock at the power house end has been put in position snd rivetted up. There is a short piece of pen- stock put at both ends of the tunnel and the space between the outside of the steel tube snd the tunnel wall is filled with con- crete shot in under pressure. The water flowing down the tunnels is regulated at the power house by a pivot valve just be- tween the penstock and the tur- bine. The erection of this valve is under way. An interesting comparison is afforded by the power scheme at Ruskin and the B. C. Electric Railway company's other hydro project at Bridge river, now und- er way. At Bridge river a tun- nel following an almost level path for its entire length of over two and a half miles has been bored through the watershed between the river and Seton Lake, the site of the power house. This means that the water flowmg through the tunnel has to be conveyed down a height of 1200 feet to the power house by huge steel penstocks. At Ruskin the short tunnels, between three and four hundred feet, will take the water down direct from storage basin to the turbo-generators in the power house.
