On motion of Councilors Aish and Phinney three contracts on the Pem- bcrton road were awarded to W. V. Stewart for $175, also, on motion ot* Couns. Owen and Melander, the contract for the Ross road south was let to J. N. Rucker fo $14 9. Councillor Phinney 'was allowed $100 on the McCallum road from D, Combs' west corner to the boundry of Ward II. I-I. R. Phillips was allowed 120 pounds of barbed wire at current prices and the sum of $125 was authorized for work on Phillip's Hill. The former appropriation of $300 for the road from the old Clayburn Town was cancelled, and Councillor Phinney was empowered to call for tenders for this work. The sum of $50 was allowed, for the Harris road. It was voted to pay Mr. Kennedy $100 on the Ware road contract, and Coun. Melander was authorized to expend $125 on the Glenmore road/and also a further appropriation of $90 on the Huntingdon road. It was decided to pay John Overstall $75 and W. Overstall $20 as payment in full for improvements "taken on the Anderson road. Councillor Melander called the council's attention to the dangerous conditions of wells in various parts of the municipality, these having been left in times past by railroad contractors and mill men in an unprotected condition and now were a menace to life and property. Especially was a well close to the G. N. R. tracks on the Lefeurve road dangerous. Coun. Melander was authorized to have the latter well filled in, while it was stated that the dangerous wells on private property would have to be taken care of by the owners. It was pointed out that where there were wells not fenced In or otherwise protected, the owners were liable for any damages which might occur to settlers or roaming stock. Councillor Aish called the attention of the council to the dangerous condition of the government wharf at Matsqui village, and the clerk was instructed to write to the Dominion rcsi dent engineer with a request that the necessary repairs be made. The question of appointing a municipal auditor was taken up and the offer of Kendall Barr & Co. of Vancouver, for $100, including a half yearly audit, tax sale work and the preparation of the annual statement, was considered, but left over until it was ascertained whether the school audit was included in that figure. Chairman of Finance Owen gave notice of motion for another loan bylaw to meet current expenses, to be introduced at the next meeting. A communication was received from the Smith Hutchison Lumber Co., of Vancouver, stating that the firm contemplated the continuing of the saw mill that has been operated for several years by the Craig & Taylor Co., at Bradner. They have surveyed a right-of-way through the S. W. 1-4 of Cec. 3, Tp. 13 and Sees. 34, 27 and 22 inclusive, in Tp. 13. This they said would necessitate the crossing of the Township Line road, the White road and possibly the Ross road with their logging track. Permission was granted under the usual restrictions and provided ,a bond against damages, of $15 for each crossing, is provided. An invitation was received for the Langley Prairie commitee for the council to attend their big Dominion Day celebration on July 2. This was filed and as many of the councillors that can will attend.

It was her ex- ! periencexhere amid the poverty, tears squallor, drunken scenes and despairing faces that she developed her art to its wonderful and characteristic perfection. Mrs. Fisk is really a protege of the late Dwight L. Moody, the great preacher and evangelist. It was he who first interested Mrs. Fisk in her missionary work in Chicago. For a year she was a Sunday school visitor in his church and it was said she was the only girl who could go into Gait Court or Milton Avenue without being molested. For three years she worked In that part of Chicago made famous by Uuton Sinclair as "The Jungle." As a child, following) her natural bend for art, Bhe had illustrated nearly all of the Old Testament but she found here in Chicago for the first time a practical use for her talent and training. On Sunday afternoons she gathered over a hundred of these waifs into a ' Sunday- School Class composed of eleven different nationalities. Almost half of them could not understand a word of English.

I o be supplied to. Farmers' Institutes on a deferred payment'system. This action on the part of the Minister of Agriculture is the outcome of a. number of requests which have been received by the department from' Farmers' Institutes. - ���������" In giving the Farmers' - Institute this opportunity to purchase these machines the Department assumes absolutely ho responsibility and makes no recommendations regarding Lhe comparative efficiency of the various Lypes of machine on the market. The Deputy Minister and Sup- crintendant of Institutes, Mr. Wm. E. ScoLt has witnessed several demonstrations and at each one the results have been satisfactory. Ci The Department of Agriculture will supply application forms to any Farmers'" Institutes oh request. These forms must be signed by the President, Vice-President and directors and also by five members of the Institute. Freight charges on the machines must be paid by the Institute from the factory. Terms of payment for the machines are: One-third on delivery; one-third in one year and the remainder in two years. No interest will be charged on un paid balances but interests at 10% will be charged on overdue payments. Institutes that fail to make their payments promptly will not receive their per capita grant on> account of rmembership but this sum will bo de-: voted towards tho payments overdue. The department recommends that all Institutes securing these machines adopt a plan whereby a fixed charge of so much per diem be paid by members who use tho machine. By this means a fund will be provided towards paying the cost of the machine and- the depreciation in value THM SCOTCH (XLNOMKT IWIITY Miss'.

The aim of these artists is to offer, the fullest enjoyment of good music, rather than the passing amusement of a^musical show, yet to present a program that sparkles'with life and color. Popular in appeal, versatile, happily combining- the best entertainment, it would be difficult to secure a better voice and instrumental ensemble than the Scotch Trio,, which brings to Chautauqa.a program-that has mot with high favor everywhere. Discriminating music lovers will be drawn eveywhere'from a considerable radius to hear them, for they more than make good the glowing accounts which preceeds and succeeds their every appearance. A typical Scotch program is invariably a genoral co- mingling of selections spocially designed to suit every taste from the popular and classic operas to the old home favorites that every girl hums and every boy whistles. of crusted crunching snow, is what one gets from a Labadie lecture-recital of the works of Wm.

The Scotch Trio coming ' to our Chautauqua occupies a conspicuus place in the splendid list of musical; attractions for the week. It is a musical entertainment company which ' may, with confidence, bo singled out from the mass of such offerings as an attraction of exceptional strength. The Trio is composed of three distinguished artists.- Mr. Lachlan Mac- Neil 1 heads the company. Both as a splendid baritone singer and as reader and impersonator, Mr. Mac- Neill has long been an established favorite with Chautauqua and Lyceum audiences. Perhaps the strongest feature of the numbers given by this gifted entertainer will be selections from Harry Lauder's original repertoire. He will give these in the Scotch kilties of the Highland. J.

Belgian Relief In view of the recent statement issued by Mr. Hoover,'��������� Chairman of the Commission for Relief1 in Belgium which points out the impossibility at present of obtaining the necessary shipping tonnage to forward to Belgium the food supplies in the same quantity as in the past, and also draws attention to the fact that the United States Government have made arrangements to loan the Belgium Government the sum of ?45,000,000, payable to the Commission for Relief in Belgium in six monthly instalments, which will cover the cost of such food supplies as can be shipped in that time by the limited number of available ships to the Commission��������� the Central Committee of the Belgian Relief Fund of Canada finds it unnecessary for the present to make appeal to the generously disposed people of Canada on the plea of the urgency of support in order to stave off starvation. The needs of Belgium continue however as pressing as in the past and the situation may be considered as being; even more pitiable as, through the forced decrease in imports, Belgium will be compelled to fall back on her own native resourses already so denuded. In order to [ maintain that so limited ration that' has been doled out in the past it will be necessary to encroach upon the country's stock of Milk cattle which has been reserved to maintain a supply of fresh milk for the children. In the hope, however, that the recent swiftly developed shortage in the world's shipping���������the cause of this new departure of the Relief Work���������-may not permanently endure in the hope that the necessary funds may be available should any emergency or special occasion arise and in view of the fact that in any event relief in many forms will be required after the war, the Committee hope that all generous, supporters of the Fund in the past and all those who have pledged themselves for future payments will continue to support the Fund and thus continue to show their sympathy win the people who gave their all for the cause of Humanity. All donations received after the 10th' of June will be disposed of to the best advantage of this stricken people, according to the wish that may be expressed by any donor or according to the actual or more press- needs of any of the already organized channels of Relief Work such as: "Help to children removed from Belgian Front;" "Queen's Fund for the Wounded Soldiers;" "Home for the Belgian Soldiers;" Relief for Belgian Prisoners in Germany;" "Anglo Belgian Committee of the Belgian Red Cross;" "Relief for Belgian Children suffering from Tuberculosis and Rickets;" Belgian Orphan Fund;" "Belgian National Relief Fund for War Orphans, etc." ��������� The Junior Chautauqua this year should break all previous records in < attendance and enthusiasm. Plans The Junior Chautauquans will cor-^ tainiy have a week' filled to the brim: and sparkling over the edges with | the happiest experience of their i whole lives.;. They are. actually going to take an imaginary (rip around the: world. They will visit the different' foreign countries, and the fun they ��������� will, have cannot be easily described, j for the boys and girls have been laid ' our. on a larger scale than ever before. It is tlie aim of the management to make the Junior Chautauqua just as big as the regular programs are for the grown-ups. - Ln disclosing the nature of the Junior Chautauqua it will be readily seen that no effort has been spared to make it a great event for the boys and girls. Remember that 'the season ticket for the Junior Chautauqua in only .$1.0 0. Don't forget that this $1.00 ticket also admits Junior Chautauquans to all other programs of the big Chautauqua.
