William Merry- field and Prof. Chas. HillrTout, the former winning out by a majority of 25. The vote stood, Meryiicld 232; Hill-Tout, 2 07. The following councillors were al- -so elected: Melander, Satchell, Fred- erickson and Beaton, while Messrs Merryfield, Wooler and Conroy were returned as school trustees. hear campaign'speeches of the'various candidates ��������� The meeting started -out in a fair way but. proved to be very interesting before the\close. No critcism was was, spared- by ��������� any of the speakers Many personal;,remarks were made Questions were, asked as'to'how the Htaxes.would.be reduced. Did the statements of'-'receipts and expenditures show* all the money .that was spent? ��������� How hiuch of the* municipal money is, tied, up : in Dennison- Bradner road?.- Was fair treatment given all the ratepayers, etc..'.- On the motion of H. R. Phillips a new step was taken in municipal politics. .It was that a voter be allowed to vote at any polling station for councilor for the ward the voter is legally qualified to vote in. Reeve Merryfield, in opening, said that he tried 'to give fair treatment to all of the ratepayers in every ward. He endeavored to get the government .t.6.-Bjjend as? rmvph^nimey., on the ��������� roads ' as possible. Believed in'having a road engineer for a short time; considered it his duty to repair roads; without orders from the council; thought the taxes'.for'this year too high for the conditions .of .i-:io roads held semi-monthly meetings at Gifford for the convenience of the' ratepayers " Prof. Charles Hill-Tout, "a candidate for the reeveship, explained the charge that had been made again st him in regard to spending money illegally .on the' Brown road while he was tax collector. He gave' a detailed statement of how the money had been spent. He thought the municipality should' be run on . a more economical basis and cited' several* cases in; which he thought money had been spent in a wasteful manner. Councilor J. Melander, a candidate for "re-election for Ward I. was in favor of a road supervisor, if the right man could be .secured, would make the tax assessment -as early as possible-.. Mr. Philip Jackman, a candidate for Ward I. would be careful in the spending of the- money. Endeavor .to get a temporary loan. l Wanted good roads. Coun. Geo. Satchell, for Ward II. believed in giving the same treatmen ebleved in -giving the same treat believed in giving the same treatment to all; would do the best he could. Mr. W. J.Marsh, candidate for Wardll. thought he could save money for the ward. Councillor Henry Frederickson, for Ward III. A square deal to all was his motto.- Councillor Chas. Bell, retiring spoke briefly giving an account of the work accomplished during his torm of office. Mr. Alex. Cruickshank, chairman of the school board, at the close of the meeting, spoke in regard to the taxation of property in the municipality. He made the assertion suing 'year .were elected, also the directors.,' Mr. John Howes'was appointed a delegate to represent the institute at the convention held at Victoria on January 26, 27 and 28, while John A. Nash was appointed to attend as'a delegate to the B. C. Agricultural Association at Victoria also late in January. The secretary read a letter from the Department of Agriculture regarding oat seed, and its distribution this'spring subject to the following conditions: through the secretary of th.e Farmers' Institute, to which -the application , belongs: (2)the seed oats will be distributed to all members of the Farmers' Institute at the actual cost of'the seed, plus the transportation charges, except as hereinafter provided; (3) the .department Avill pay the transportation charges on seed oats supplied to members whose order is acompanied-by an entry for the crop competition in oats for 1914, provided that the institute to 'which "the,'applicant' belongs-complies with the.- conditions for the holding of crop L competition " forms for applicatioin for seeed oats and being supplied to the ��������� secretary and" may be obtained from him; (4)only* the* actual owner, renter, or sup-j . After a short respite during'"the erintendent of a farm'may obtain* CIiristmas holidays the Abbotsford seed oats from the department'and Quadrille Club gave another of-their A question came up at the last ��������� meeting of the board of trade about, the C. P. R. crossing on' Essendene Avenue. There, is sure every reason for complaint, using very, vigorous language too, provided it -would do any good���������In fact the street between the two tracks is a disgrace to the company and the town, and that is - drawing it mildly.. True the company do fix it occasionally, but somehow it' does not last very long in a'passable condition There is apparently too much traffic on the'street for the cinders, to hold up. ' It has been suggested, and very wisely too, that either crushed rock or gravel be placed between . the two. tracks,' and preferably the former. The board of trade is taking the matter up with the local agent, Mr. Boulter, and it is to be hoped that he will be so able to'impress the authorities that be, the importance of having some.permanent substance placed-t.on "the street that will be lasting, and at an early date. Of course the board of trade as an incorporate body, have the right' to take the matter before the railway commission, but it. is much better to 'do it'through the local ageatrif at'all-: possible. QUADRILLE CLUB RESUMES '-DAX.GES that only for the purpose of sowing- the land which he owns,* rents or seed oats must be made by the Instit ute within thirty days from the date of shipment: (6)all applications to be received' on or before February 1, 1914, The oats supplied will be of American Banner variety, selected Seed Growers' . Association, Ottawa, and guaranteed by' them as to the quality The rules under which ehese oats are selected, grown and inspected are a guarantee of a first-class article. The crop is inspected in the field and again in the sack, before receiving the official seal of the department. The department expects to be. able to deliver the oats at about $1 per bushel. A resolut - ion was passed to the effect that all orders must be accompanied by 50 per cent., or half the cost, when the oats were ordered,and- the balance when delivered,x also that they must be removed after the customary ten days' notice or Jthe party will forfeit his deposit. As to the greed to compete with each other in oats, hay, potatoes and carrots. A letter was then read from the International Lime Co., Sumas Wash in regard to price, quality and offering to deliver the same at Alder- grove station for $18 per ton. Another letter of a similar nature from the Victoria and Vancouver Lime Co., was read and the difference in quality and merit led to a lengthy discussion after which it was resolved to patronize the Sumas company and that a car of the same be that many corporations were not being taxed at all The meting, which was attended by about, 2 00 ratepayers, was presided by Mr. J. A. McGowan. popular dances at the Alexandria Hall, on Friday evening, January 9th. There was a very good attendance, the ladies predominating and as -usual everybody enjoyed themselves.

Friday, Jan. 17, J914 The Democratic principle of misting to the people is wise, and there are now fe wwriters or speakers so egregiously self-cornplacent' as to sug gest that they should themselves dir ect public questions and that the people aretoo ignorant to conduct their own affairs. It seems like offering gratuitous advice to the intelli gence of the citizens to tell them $10 has the same purchasing power in Kamioops as $25 has in larger cities, or to declare that not .one in larger cities, or. to declare that not one ni a hundred of the ratepayers has sufficient ability to peruse the civic balance sheet with anything like understanding. The ratepayers of Kamioops are the people who finance Kamioops and they are fully entitled to know how the city finances stand; and if a city balance sheet is so drafted as to be unintelligible to the people it is not because of any mental deficiency of the citizens, as is implied in some lack -of ability on the part of the members or of the auditors or of both, or alternatively a desire enter- . tained by .these parties to withhold information is responsible for the obscurity. The suggestion that rate payers should provide money but that. they should not be furnished with a financial statement because they are too unintelligent to understand it is adbsurd; offensive, and in' consistent "with facts, and those responsible for fthe preparation and timely issue of the civic balance sheet-for the year just-ended are . to be congratulated on producing a document clearer and more easily ��������� intelligible than any of the same nature furnished' in the past.���������Kamioops Sentinel.

'��������� CHANGE NEEDED HERE LIQUOR LICENCES There are. many things to be considered in relation to the closing hour's of premises where liquor is sold. Very important is the matter of personal liberty, and the rights of the individual. The highest religious teachings preach the doctrine of free will." The people can only main tain sobriety through education as to evil effects of drunkeness when the majority. will be abstemious of their own accord. We hold that decency and order should be preserved ' and certain restrictions and regulations must obtain, but' we believe that the teaching' of moral control is of more importance than the framing of drastic laws which can gen Under the caption "Foreign Immigration Must Be Made Less Easy," the Calgary News-Telegram had a timely editorial in a recent issue. Speaking of the "foreign peril" which threatens to eventua lly force native-born Canadians to seek a livelihood, else where than in fair Canada of ours, the News-Telegram says:' "But for those foreign races crime would- be down to a minimum instead of gradually climbing to a maximum, shooting . and stabbing would play a very insignificant part amongst criminal offences, and robberies would be-less in number. They crowd in lodging houses, living under unsanitary conditions; they have few ideas of decencyoand their children are a menace to the health of their fellow pupils in, the public schools." At the public meeting .held "in Mission City during the recent election, it was,, pointed out by a prominent fruit grower that the Japanese are quietly and without any big sound of trumpets, taking possession of the richest of t he fruit land of' Silverdale, and thus competing with the white man on the markets. In the course of time there is no doubt the Japanese will be the only fruit growers o four rich fruit lands if _the same rate of settlementgoes on as in the past. It will be a vsec- ond California.

BASE. j WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE WINS THE DAY AGAIN The Mission Debating Society of Mission City held a debating contest on Tuesday evening in the Imperial hall on the question of "Woman Suffrage" Mr. D. M. Moore of the public school staff and Rev. Mr. ' Ewing led the debate against while Since that the announcement that J Mesdames Houlder and Solloway on the Yarrows, Ltd., had bought the B. C. Marine Railway Works at Esquimault, and that the Dominion govern ment would, in consequence, proceed to build a dry dock in the same locality, the Colonist would lead its readers to believe that Victoria practically coralled the whole works so far as British naval defences on the Pacific are concerned. While the value to Victoria of the selection by the big shipbuilding firm erally be evaded an.d which do not . must be estimated highly the Colon- striko. at the root of the trouble ' ist has launched anticipations for its It has been suggested that what- is wanted,' now, is better supervision of premises where liquor is sold. Ad1 mitting that no one has a right to get drunk if by so doing he is ob- jectional to his family or to the community, everyone has the' right to buy himself a drink if he is paying for it. We believe that more harm can be done by the distribution of bad whiskey in twelve hours than in twenty-four where proper supervision regarding the quality of the liquor and the conduct of the premises obtains. If further steps be " necessary in the interests of the people that less liquor be consumed let us have further deliberations before we take action. We presume that the W. C. T. U. and the social Service Commission have fully considered the question, but Ave would Ike to see a representative gathering of all sections of the community and' to hear the ideas of people who have given this important question consideration from all sides of the question. It is not a matter to be left entirely to'women and clergy- city that are in clanger of runing aground." The shipbuilding industry the affirmative won the day, as the decision was given in their favor. The judges were Miss Madge Portsmouth, Miss Stiven and Mr. Tarlton. The debate was an exceedingly fine one and was decided as it should be.

One does not need to be a naval expert to see the need of defences for Esquimault which it can not provide for itseif, while if the op erating base of the fleet were at Esquimault not only that point but the whole island, would be at the mercy of an enemy.
