Miller presided at the regular meeti'ng of the city council on Monday evening. All the aldermen were present. A communication from the secretary of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities wished to know how many delegates the city intended to send to the annual convention, which is to beheld in Nel- son during the first week iu October. The clerk was instructed to inform him, that three delegates had been appointed. A similar letter from [he Good Roads league, whose con vention is to be held in Nelson during the same week, was ordered filed. A communication from Wm. Henderson, Vancouver, resideut engineer, asked for more informa������ tion regarding the council's request for permission to place the trophy gun on the postoffice square. The clerk was instructed to communicate with Mr. Henderson again, giving him the exact location where it was to be located and to request him to lay the correspondence on this subject before the department at Ottawa.

The city has since used the land as a dumping grounds for refuse. The matter has been be fore the council since the 17th of May last. A letter from the land registry office at Kamloops stated that Mr. Carruthers was the regis- t ered owner of thf property in question. Action was postponed until Messrs. Campbell and Carruthers could attend the meeting. A number of other unimportant communications were and disposed of. The matter of considering appli cations for the position of city auditor vvas deferred until the next meeting. The chairman of thjs finance committee reported that some new city bonds were being sold, and the past month's accounts were ordered paid. The balance of the proceedings consisted of committee reports and routine business. On Wednesday morning a special meeting was held to consider the Carruthers case, alleging trespass on the part of the city. Messrs. Campbell and Carruthers were present.

Mr. ! for the coast. A Justified Blow Ever punctual himself, 'King George III expected similar punctuality in others. Lord Hertford knew and respected his royal master's wishes. So one day, when he had an appointment at Windsor for 12 o'clock, he was overwhelmed at hear ing the clock strike the noon hour just as he was passing through the hall. Furious at being half a minute late, he raised his cane and smashed the glass of the clock's face. The king, knowing nothing of the episode, let him off with a slight reprimand. *^The next time that the earl called on the king, however, he was re ceived less graciously. "Hertford," said his majesty, "how came you to strike the clock1?" "The clock struck first, your majesty," was Hertford's immediate rejoinder. The aptness of the speech and the mock solemnity of the culprit in de livering it won the king's laughfc and forgiveness .

TOCLUSTER The San Jose Variety Causes Some Excitement Among Keremebs Growers A report from Keremeos says that an extraordinary clu&ter of tomatoes is ou exhibition in the window of Mr. Ramsey's ztore. The cluster is one branch of a vine and contains 12 tomatoes which weigh 11������ pounds. The branch was cut off a vine of the San Jose canner variety and there remained on the vine 22 other tomatoes equally as large as those iu the cluster on exhibition. A. II. Carle is the grower of this vine and many others which are bearing similarly large crops. He has altogether 500 plants of the San Jose canner variety on his lot at the back of J. J. Armstrong's home lot. They are planted on a patch of land which was strong and well cultivated. He has already one ripe tomato of this kind which weighs one pound six ounces and others not yet mature which promise to weigh over two pounds. Some of the oldest and most experienced tomato growers in the valley declare they have never seen tomatoes to equal those grown j by Mr. Carle this year.

The Usual Meal The Mining Industry "A large number of people who urn unfamiliar with the mining industry look upon it in an entirely different light than other industries which money might be invested in," Charles Camsell, the newly appointed deputy minisser of mines .for Canada, said in an interview recently. "Many con sider investment in mine property purely a gamble. Those who mako mining investments from that point of view court disaster. Only when investors place their funds in minim.' property after securing the advice of men familiar with the industry, and who have special knowledge of mining and engineering problems, will they find that they acted sanely. "Mining is a specialized industry." he added, "and people must avoid putting their money iuto it until they have sound technical advice. Booms take place in mining fields as well as in any other, and they always have their reaction. The results of booms are had���������not good, and often it takes years to recover. Wlia*, I would like to soe in the mining world is a good healthy steady progress. Mines can only be developed through time. "Mineral production in Canada shows a steady growth.

Grand Forks, B. C. OFFICE: COLUMBIA AVENUE AND LAKE STREET. ���������FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1.920 The date for taking the referendum vote on the existing Prohibition act is/not very far distant, and active campaigning for or-against the measure should start soon. In the last election we voted for the present act, because we wanted to see the public bar abolished, and because we believed that prohibition was an essential war measure. Since then we have lived as we" voted. We defy any man show where we have procured one ounce of spirituous liquor by purchase, importation or prescription. But the workings of the act has, in the opinion of men not of a fanatical temperament, been a dismal disappointment. It has made hypocrites of the greater portion of our population; "bootleggers" swarm' in every community; intoxicating liqour is openly being sold over nearly every soft drink counter, and, according to the laws of the province, over fifty yet cent of the people of British Columbia are criminals. This is the existing condition in the province today. The remedy is either a bone-dry law, which would necessarily mean the prohibition of the manufacture of the liquor, or a law permitting the people to procure the liquor under government control. In the forthcoming election the people will not be given an opportunity to vote for a bone-dry law. It is either the present act, .which is intolerable, or government supervision of the traffic. .We have decided that the existing act is class legislation and that it can not be enforced, and have therefore concluded ���������to vote in favor of the government handling the business. If there is any money made out of the traffic, the farmers need a reduction in" taxes. And we believe this is the only way in which the public bar can be kept abolished. It is better to allow a person to acquire a jag iegally than that he should become a criminal hi doing so. It can not be denied that among war veterans at the present time, (-'.specially among men ot*the finer sert, there is a ieeiiug of disap pointment at tlie'seeming outcome of the war, says the B. C. Veterau. These men, indeed, with an indurance that almost passes belief, suffered the agotiies of hell uhiiethe war lasted; but through it all thev were encouraged by the hope that their sacrifices were but the price that had to be paid for the making of a new world. As they regard things as rlu-y are now, it seems to them that the new world is not even in sight; but instead the world that is seems to bo sinking daily into depths of sin and miserv deeper than ever it has touched. They have good reasons, too, for taking this view, For what with Bolshevism, dominant for the moment on the one hand, and reao- ionary elements of the worst kind active on the other; while ordinary folks, and ordinary affairs'seom to be of less ' consequence than ever, the world would appear to have lost the track altoghther and to be beyond recall toward higher and hotter things. The picture on the screen at present is dark indeed, and it is hard to discern any light in it at all. But does it represent the whole truth? Certainly not. Indepently of the general law that goodness and truth are stronger than unrighteousness and lies���������a law that the ages have abundantly .demonstrated���������there is also the general prin ciple that always there is to be found in things evil an elem ent of good if we can only find it- Things ma}7 seem to be the same today as they were in 1914, or even worse. But they are not. Clear through all the confusion and the battle- smoke of things as they now are, there may be seen in any direction signs and portents of better things. - Men are not taking the buffet-" ings of the powers of evil lying down. The sense of right���������of truth���������of justice���������is not dead; it is not even sleeping. On the contrary it never was more alive.. And that being so, changes for,the better must come. In spite of the tyrannizing forces of Bolshevism; in spite of the high handed action of rapacious money lords; in spite of the supineness of politicians in-many quarters, the faces of men in all nations are set towards the light���������and they shall win through in the end. Let doubting Thomases take fresh courage. Let them do their ... D own part, in ���������their own way, and in their own place, to usher in the hew world, and their present mood of disappointment will pass. It will give place to the mood that becomes all true men���������of defiance towards evil, and of supreme faith in the coming of the perfect good. OPTICAL SERVICE We render correct defective eyesight We are headquarters for the newest PRUNES AND BEES For three years the division of pomology of the University of California has been investigating the causes of" the variation in prune crops in the Santa Clara valley. Experiments show that the commou honeybee s one of the most important agencies in producing good crops. The fact was proved by covering two pairs of adjoining French and Imperial prune trees with large tents of mosquito netting and placing a hive of bees in one ,of the. tents as soon as the blossoms opened. The bees started to work at once and probably visited every blossom on the trees. After the petals of the blossoms had fallen and there was no further dauger that pollen would be brought from outside .sources to the trees under observation, the tents were taken down. It soon became evident that the French prune tree in the tent with the bees had set a much heavier crop than the best of the exposed trees, whereas the two trees in the tent from which the bees had been excluded had set very light crops. Later, the fruit borne by the French prune tree made it necessary to prop the branches. In proportion to the. number of blossoms, that tree bore fully five times as many prunes as the ordinary French prune tree bears. The results have so deeply impressed the prune growers of California that many of them are buying sw.arms of bees, and others are planning to hire swarms during the blossoming season.

Clouds of fish carried down ami covered up in layers innumerable plants ���������x.nd insects, and preserved liiem in beds of shale, which, when split with a knife, reveal flattened but wonderfully perfect remains. More than a thousand different species of insects and plants have been found in the Flor Issant shales, many of which are closely allied to living forms. The Florissant deposits have been described as a sort of Pompeii of the Miocene Age, for they give a picture of past conditions that few other deposits in the whole world can give. They even throw light on prehistoric conditions in remote parts of the world, for the presence of certain forms of life supposed to be peculiar to the- Old World suggests that land was or had recently been continuous between Asia and America.
