At least  twenty-lour hours' notice should be  given in such casus; and tho council  was asked to co-operate in the matter, as danger and expensive delay  was due in many canes to non-observance of this requirement,  tle-m.  It was decid ;d to enforce the  pound regulations as affecting horses  in' future, this decision ���������being' the  "outcome of complaints regarding the  danger and��������� damage done��������� by straying  horses in tho municipality.

Railway authorities/who  had been requested.to put in a siding  at- Rottluff road crossing, wrote declining to agree to that request.  Their letter stated that, as the crossing'referred to was only a little over  ouo mile from the station at Matsqui they could not see their way to  go to the expense of putting in another siditig in such a close proximity  to a regular station.  A bylaw to regulate the speed of  automobile  traffic  in   the  municipality   was   paw.-'.'Ml.   It   provides   for   a |  maximum   speed     of   2T������   miles   per ;  per   hour   on   main   gravelled   roads, '  and 15 miles on all other roads.

The weather man favored the day  with his best goods and the sail up  the river and lake weremost delightful. All were ready for the picnic  dinner which was spead on Spoon  Island, after which the party moved  to the head of the lake where there  was a delightful picnic ground.  Games W'ere engaged in bysome of  the younger people, while many of  the gentlemen were busy with hook  and line. A slight shower slightly  shortened the day of sport. Laden  with wild flowers and thespoil of the  day, the return trip was made in less  than two hours, a choppy sea on the  lake adding  to  the excitement.

And a trip now  looks to be just right. They will speak at different points in the'  southern part of (he province. The people will be told many  things that if would be interesting to hear, and'of course absolutely correct, for our premier, with such a. record of correct doings, should have something of interest to fell the peoph'.\ Sc  much has ben done for the province (?) during the past years of  the war, in making the (axes light and a. generous (?) voting of  monies for public works, that the heels of ihe provincial government ought to receive a grand reception.  For once this paper agrees with Premier John Oliver and  thinks he is absolutely right when he sends word to the agent-  general, at London that he should not talk baclv to Cowper���������n.  other words that a civil servant of the province should, not enter  into a press controversary with or to criticise a member of par-  liaivenr, who has had anything to do with his appointment.' Th������  agei-rc-general is nothing more nor nothing less than a civi:  servant of the B. C. government; and why should he attempt tr  bite the hand that helps to feed him?  On the other hand why should not a member of parliament  take into consideration the wish of the electors who-have placet"  him there? But then that is different the member of parliaments only a servant of the people until such time as the last vote if  cast. If elected, from that time on-the member takes it that h*  is a free lance, and chats back to electors should they at all differ with him on any matter that .affects their welfare���������just the  way Premier John does himself .  TROUBLES OP T1TR  PHONE OPERATOR  When business men convene meetings to prciss for improved telephone  service and newspapers publish many  paragraphs about the way in which  things telephonic are to be made better, the exchange girls want to know  whether "subscribers and their manners are to be Included in the general scheme for improvement.'   ���������  It is not subscribers en bloc who  are objectionable.

Glasgow.  Manchester. Birmingham, Bristol and  Paris.  ' Tho advantages of this arrange-,  ment are many, for the Dominion  Express, holding as it does the exclusive right of shipping Express  parcels over the entire C.P.R. system, as agents for the Aeroplane  Service can ensure that r.n Express  package scheduled to catch a certain  fhip actually reached its destnatkm  n Canada in (he shortest possible  space of time.
