At Saturday's council meeting after the hearing of the international Railway Company's representatives, the regular business was (proceeded with. The Reeve reported on the crushed rock situatiei.n and stated that between railway and other charges from Ved- der Mountain quarry, the cost ot the rock laid U-wn in Delta was so far as he could lind, prohibitive. The roek at the quarry was cheap enough, "but thut was only the amall end Of St. The Reeve also reported on the condition of affairs at Victoria, wihere ht) had been watching the progress of certain legislation reeiuired by the district in eonneotlon with dyking and THE SQUIRE'S DAUGHTER lighting. .l-a-��l He expressed the assurance that fhe required legislation wouild be secured.

King and Dr. Dudley each appllled for the position of medical heaeth officer. Dr. Dudley offered to take over the responsibility tor the sum of $100 per year. As this was far ebelow Dr. King's otter, Dr. Dudley received tihe appointment at his own figure. The clerk was instructed to advertise for tenders for 2,500 yards of No. 2 crushed rocK for road construction purposes, A number of accounts were passed and council adjourned. NO MAGISTRATE. It is surely strange that in such a district as Delta there should be no fully qualified police magistrate to attend to the administration of justice. At the present time cases are- heard before tjwo justices of the peace.

The company j was not asking any kind of a bonus, ' simply concessions whieh it was ln ! the power of the council to give ln return for greater car and transportu- , tion facilities. , Mr. McDuff, the* company's engineer, stated that he knew the country thoroughly and kn<3w of no en- I gln*?ering diflicultles so far as the | road was concerned. At the iprese-,nt | time he was not prepared to suggest routes. In connection With the .bridge project, the company was prepared to build the bridge, provided it was possible to do so. The proper survey , had not yet been made to determine I whether it were feasible to build sueii la bridge. There were cases in districts such as this where it was im- posible to find foundations for piers. Such a test had .not loen made and no di-flcutl'ty might be experienced, tmt there was always that phase of the question to be considered. If it were posible to build such a bridge, the bridge would surely 'be built. Reeve Oliver addressed the deputation briefly and in a practical manner. He stated that the people of the district were anious for any proposition which would help them out on transportation problems, and so far as he knew no exposition would be offered to the railway company. However, at the present time nothing definite had been proposed and just as soon as the company was ready to come forward with a concrete proposition, stating in writing what they wanteel and what they were prepared to give, then the council would immediately ascertain wihat powers they had and do the best they could to meet the company as far as was consistent with the generail welfare of the district. The council and the people of Delta generally were juat as anxious for transportation facilities aa the gentlemen who had addressed the aueiience were anxious to secure concessions. Mr. Leeson and Mr. Thrift both expressed themselves as satisfied with the Reeve's view of the matter. Their object had been to find out whether the council was fa\ora'bly or unfavorably disposed towards them. They did not, of course, feel Inclined to show their hand if the pe-uple were against them. They promised that within a month a concrete proposition would be placed in writing before the council. They then thanked the Reeve for the courteous hearing they had been ���-'iwn and retired. i The annual meeting of the Beaver Lacrosse Club called for last Monday, evening, has been -postponed until Monday, i'eb. 5th. at McNeely Hall, at eight o'clock p.m. Inasmuch as the organizatiem has a number of new matters to take undeT consideration it is hoped that all those interested in the sport of laerosse will attend this meeting and make 1.12 a banner and winning years lor "The Heavers." , j It has been decided by the iJub to give a "St. Patrick's" dance on March 18th at McNeely Hall, and if their past efforts to give a good time to their friends count feir anything, citizens may be well assured that the dance this year will even far surpass all previous oneis. "Ijest you forget": Beaver Club���iMoNeety Hail���March 18th, 1912. Sending Delegation to Discuss Quo-thin.-* of Interest. SEMI-ANNUAL CONCERT. The Delta Glee Club, or fi-fty voices, will hold Its fifth sem'i-annual concert ln the McNeely Haill on the evening of Friday, February 9. The club under the capable leadership of Mr. E. T. Calvert has become quite an institution in Lidner and is always sure of large patronage. A most delectable programme is 'being 'outlined, emlbracing the choicest of 'glees Interspersed by solos, duets and instrumental numbers. I Ladner may be la a somewhat out i of the way place, but within its borders is to be found musical and dramatic talent such as would gTaue any city in the land. These combined with a strong community spirit result in a pleasing coalition of forces for the gemeral gewid of the community and the mutual enjoyment of all. At the approaching meeting of the Board of Trade a delegation of seven members from the New West/minster Bc-ard of Trade will wait upon the*. the local board in connection with transportation matters. The objeut of tihe delegation is to seek a closer Union with Ladner and to aid in any possible manner in the devolo-pment of the resources of the district. In an Interview with a representative of j the New Westminster Beiard eif Traelo [ who has been closely allied with that (institution f.ir some years, It was stated that In the matter, New West- jminster was not actuated by any particular desire of personal advancement, merely a de��sire to benolit the ���whole of the valley. A line through the Delta district could be secured without very much trouble and would open up a large tract e>f country at present lying practically idle. They hope with Ladner to eventually see a bridge erected aen-oss the Fraser River at a point .near Ladner and will rejoice with the Delta when that Is accomplished. But, if that proje-ot were found to be feasible and were .started immediately, It would still be I a couple eif years before such a librldge would be available for traMc I purposes. The district by that time | would have developed very materially as a result of quicker connection with ; the Royal City. , In the past the New Westminster Board of Trade had demonstrated the ! fact that they were favorably disposed te>wards Delta by doing strenuous I work in connection with the securin-j 'of a better service on the Oreat | Northern line. It Temained ye*t to he shown what Vancouver had done for the Delta country. Thr Board of Trade was interested in the development of the whole of the Fraser Valley and was worki.ng on the assumption that the wihoU- valley arose and fell together. The object of having the delegation wait on the Delta hoard was to find out just what the Delta wanted and to as far as pissi- ble to lend aid in the work of advancement.

DAIRYMEN IN CONVENTION A Prof liable Session at Victoria���Address hy Minister���Work of Association. VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 25.���The annual convention of the li, C. Dairymen's Association, was held yesterday in the Bontanical Chambers of the parliament buildings. There was a large and representative attendance present to hear the annual reports of the association, and to hear interesting addresses on subjects peculiar to dairying and welcoming speeches of Premier McBride, and the Hon. Price Ellison, minister of agriculture. A notable feature of the convention was the announcement of the' increase in the government grant to the association, and also the announcement of the government's Intention to issue u bulletin setting forth the prospect* and methods of producing alfalfa In the province. Sessions were held In the forenoon, afternoon and evening, and a large amount of business of paramount importance to the advancing ef the interests or the association was transacted. Mr. VV. i.. Buckingham, the ex-president, presided until the effices of the year were elictenl, when he retired in favor or Mr. Hish ���p. In the annual report of the asso ciation, which was submitted and adopted, it was stated that the season had been a prosperous one for the industry. Owing to the demand for produce good prices had been realised. The trade with the cities and towns in milk and cream is daily assuming larger proportions, and in some locations the supply has been far from eeiual to the demand. Much ���f the milk which formerly passee" through the creameries, is being diverted to meet the cities needs, and ta consequence,the make of butter is ths province is decreasing. This, however, offers to the outlying districts additional opportunity and incentive to supply the butter that the near-by sections find less profit in manufacturing. During the year the work of ths association has been the continuance of the policy of previous years. Competitions Successful. The dairy farm competition, which has now completed the second year of its existense has proved a worthy fac- tsr In arousing interest and stimulating effort toward better conditions. Fourteen competitions took part altogether, six in class one and eight in class two. The prize winners sre as follows: Class 1 (B. C. Dairymen)���A. C Wells & Son, Sardis, ("Sophy and medal; 2, J. M.

The directors are or the opinion that this feature is one of great importance' anil demands the attention of all Who look for resl progress being maele by the dairy inelustry or the province. The membership ef the association has made a good increase during the past year, and It is expected will continue to do so, as the efforts of the association towards the advancement of dairy prosperity se-cures the co- OPsratlon of all its members. in the treasurer's report It \vw shown that there was a balance at the bank of $1,045.20. This report was also adopted. Minister's A-*Jrcss. The Hon. Price E*��ison visited the convention in the morning and wa�� at once called upon to address the members. He stated, however, tha' he would perfert to listen to their deliberations for a little before addressing them. After some of the preliminary business had been transacte*" he delivered a short address of welcome, in the course of which he said: "If we are going to make British Columbia a grsat agricultural country, an.l we all say we are, then we must have more agriculturists. That is a worth of dairy product had to be imported into the province last year in order to meet the demand of the consuming population, but 1 think thai can be explained by the fact tha* there are large areas of land suitable for farming and darying In particular which are inaccessible on account of the lack of transportation facilities, i think that with the increased transportation aid we expect that both ln the way ot railways ane' trunk roads, we will at last coin-" Into our own in this connection, and that in addition to supplying all the demands of the local population we will become exporters of dairy produce to a very large extent. (Applause.) Statistics to which 1 have generally referred are sufficient in themselves to justify you and your ceilleagues, the provincial government and the public as well as exerting more strenuously in the future than has been done in the past every effort toward extending and improving ths development of the industry in the province, i understand tha' the dairymen of the province together with the farmers are taking steps to introduce into the province an infusion of pure bred stock from the east for the purpose of improving the standard of the stock of the province. 1 think that that is a work to be commended and I am sure that it will meet with the approval an'1 support of the department. On Dairying. In regaid to dariying particular^' w�� know that it is as cheap to keep a good animal as a poor one. Le* me mention to you with regard especially to the milk supplies that are land dresses of Mr. John Nunces, who wore the Royal Stuart garb, and Mr. John Bowsle in the tartan of th* gallant "Forty-twa." Mr. D. Lamont in the kilt and plaid of the MacDonald also showed prominently ir the moving throng. Mr. John Munro and Mr. Nei' Fraser acted as M. Cs and a most excellent programme was brought to a close at 4 am. Every item throughout the whole proceedings was favorably commented upon and thu^ was brought to a close one of the most successful entertainment of the season. Thc Burns' club has now been established on a sound basis anel wil1 meet once a month and any "Scot" who is in the neighborhood will be warmly welooniea at tne meetings, EUl'HNE. problem that the government ha# ,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm^^^^^^^^^^^���^ been thinking about. 1 have been re- | required for our towns and citieB tho* ferred to for a solution of the problem and 1 can tell you, gentlemen that the task is not an easy one. There are large numbers of people coming to the province to take up farming, but in many cases we find that they are men Advanced in life. Some o** them think that it is an easy proposition but 1 can assure them tha* they will have no picnic. British Columbia must have more people of th�� farming class. In order to make that possible the government is going to try and open up the country so that it will be easier for the settlers te make connections with the cities and other points. The man who has to go out into the backwoods cannot stand the strain long. The government of British Columbia has spent a vas* sum of money in the making of_good roads because they realize that"good roads mean practically everything to the farmer. The farmers are no' alone in ths cry for bsttsr road' throughout the province. They have the strong backing of ths motorists who insist that something more should be done at once toward making the country more passable than it is today. And in that connection I would just like to say that in the province it is a much more difficult task to make roads than it is in anv of the other provinces of the Dominion on account of the nature of the country. 1 do not suggest that that should be regarded as a barrier but I would just like to keep it in mind when yon make demands upon the governmen' for wholesale appropriations for roads. Would Help Dairymen. I can assure you gentlemen that we are desirous of helping the dairymen of the province at far as possible, but 1 bhoulel imagine from the looks of you that you do not require much assistance. We have placed a new man at the head of affairs in connection with the work of the department in the person of your secretary, Mr Rive, and we are glad to know that he is doing good work. The grea' trouble of the department has beer the getting of men who were qualified lor the work snd therefore, w�� are all the more gratified to learn of the success of Mr. Rive. It was on account of the lack of properly qualified men in the country that mad" it impossible for me to appoint a liv*�� stock commissioner. They tell m*" there is not a good live stock commissioner in Canada and rather than make a bad appointment I have not made one at all. We are now negotiating with a Canadian gentleman at Washington who might be able to fill the bill if he will come. I wish te congratulate the association upon the success of its competitions. I congratulate the winners and hope tha' the losers will take heart of grace ane" do better next year. At the same time I may as well inform you that the department has in mind the idea of increasing your annual grant from $2500 to $3000. (Applause.) I air glad indeed to see that you have ordered four carloads of live stock from the east for the purpose of improving the stock of tha province. That is a great work and I hops as time goer on the practice will be followed to a greater extent until the farmers o*" the province are in a position to better their herds materially by the infusion of pure blood. The time ha�� come now when we wish to do better along the lines of dairying. It is very important to the province because its development is now an integral part of the progress of th�� province. If there is anything I can do to assist your organization I shall always be glad indeed to do it, because I know that the department and i scene presented a perfect kaleido- the government are more than anx-j scope of color. A Scotch reel, headed ions to be of service to this deserv- I the programme and conspicuous le ing branch of agriculture." The hon. ' the animated square were the digh- because of the many reports to th�� government of late it was desme*" advisable to appoint a commission whose principal duty would be th�� investigation of the conditions generally. (Applause). Not that w�� would have you believe that we consider the dairymen of the provinc�� unsuitable for their work but rathe" would we have you believe that th*> matter is of importance all round an*1 that through the agency of this commission we will be able to discover by what means not only the publi�� will be benefited but ths producer a�� well. We want the co-operation o' your organization in this and other work because it is only by that means that any progress in the industry can be made. It ls not desired te strike at your investment. Far from lt. What we want to do is to brins about a hsslthy condition in the community and realizing that that ls of as grsat importance to your organization as it is te anyone slss. we ask your co-operation, fllontlemen, I un- dsrstand that your msmbership i��> now over 200. 1 wish to congratulate you upon the fact and also upon the success that hss attended your efforts in the past.

Fruit Growers Stoocit Men For Ottawa Oonfervnoe After a StrctiuouH Debate. VICTORIA, Jan. Sl.-VThe annual convention of the B. C. Fruit Growers' Association was opened yesterday in the Unitarian Hall. Many Interesting addresses were delivered on subjects of peculiar interest to fruit growers, one of the leading of theBe being the necessity for a greater exercise of co-operative work on the part of tbe growers, which was spoken to learnedly by Mr. H. C. Atwcll of Oregon and Senator W. P. Paulhamus of Puyallup, Wash. Reports of the past year's work were submitted and adopted. Mr. R. H. Agar of Summerland, presided. At the evening session, which was prolonged until 11 o'chick, there was a keen discussion created over thc appointment of delegates to the Dominion conference to be held at Ottawa. Delegates were appointed to the conference last year in view of the anticipation that the conference would be held some time last year, but that was rendered impossible on account of the political situation. At today's session a motion was made to consider the appointment of new delegates and this met with immediate opposition from Messrs. Brydon and Maxwell 'Smith, who hail been deeded to represent the convention by ballot taken at the last meeting. In view of the fact that thc minutes of the last meeting, wherein the election referreel to wan recorded, had been adopted, it was contended by the delegates named that it was out of order to consider the appointment or election of substitutes. The chairman, however, gave a rulkng on the subject contrary to that opinion, which was upheld by the convention, and as a result of nominations for the position of delegates to go to Ottawa to attend the Dominion confernce, the following were elected; Mr. W. F. Somers (for Vancouver Island), Mr. J. JO, Metcalfe (for the Lower Mainland), Messrs. per cent, over New Westminster prices. Just you take a trip through the New "Westminster stores, tane a note book and jot down the prices. Then gel lei Vancouver and set over against them the prices pal I in that city and it will .be very' Obvious why we should prefer to shop in the latter city. As a resident of the Delta, I consider that the people of the Delta have been held up by the New Westminster merchants (they even hold up their own) and until they ceimc down to something reasonable, for my ipart I say iboost with both hands for ; the development of the Vancouver i Idea and do anything possible to secure closer connection and closer business relationship with that city.

Hot Water as ��� Tonlo. Drinking a cup of hot water Is a more efBcacie-us treatment for many Ills than some persons realize. There are pbytlcltins who prescribe It for In active livers, a glassful to he taken as v-ein as one wakes iu the morning. The warmth aa well as tbe liquid sre liene- iciiil. for it Is a well known fact tbat few persons drink as much water through tbe day ss they should. Thnt the dose streets the complexion favorably there Is no doubt Some per sons add the Jules of half a leinon to the water. There Is so doubt tbat for certain systems this Is beneficial, but It is a matter that a physician should decide In individual Instances. Many a case of simple indigestion may be cared by drinking a cup of hot water, the dose to be taken as soon as there is any sense of discomfort Adding a half teaspoonful of bi- carbonate of soda Is recommended bj some physicians where there la pro- noiiiiieii acidity of tbe stomach, the soda acting as a neutralizes while tha warm liquid carries ths matter from the stomach. Persons who are dieting for reduc tion find hot water more thirst quench Ing than cold, and they therefore caa get along comfortably with a smaller quantity. That water taken with food is fattening there is no doubt Hot water ls sn excellent substitute for tea for persons made nervous by the beverage and on certain occasions may be used as a food substitute. If for any reason there Is a desire to get along with tbe leust quantity of food and the stomach becomes empty, hot water is soothing and Oils tbe void, so that for a time a feeling of faint ness Is obviated. It ls In no way a food, however, and should not be regarded as snob. X. A. Mel lalrmid was in Vancouver this week on business. Mrs, G. W. Brewster was a visitor in town this week, Mrs. D.

So much has been said of ths folly ���f changing ths coiffure to snlt each passing style tbat tbe other side is apt to be overlooked. Hair can be worn too continuously In one style, snd If a woman Is not careful aho may find herself without say hair on the top of her head tn the place where tbe hair ought to grow. The girl who thinks she looks picturesque with parted hair should oc csslonslly take weeks off for a pompadour unless she wants a broad path across her cranium. This holds good of tbe angles at which the long hair is arranged, and there should be fre qnent changes. If only la the privacy of the boudoir. Tbe benefit of thea* changes Is real teed when one finds that dandruff accumulates under the thickest part of ths hair, and If tt Is too long In one spot there ls danger ef ths titrable bs coming chronic. Mothers have much te bs responsible for by not regarding hair strain fer their daughters. No girl whs wears her hair la one way from the time she is six or sight until she puts ou long frocks can hope to hare a good bead of hair. It Is bound ts bs worn In places.

Mrs. Ha__ard will not testify. I' is probable that all the testimony both for the defense and the state'" rebuttal will be in tonight and ths* the arguments will begin tomorrow morning. A ruling of Judge Yakey'e has materially shortened the lengt"* ��f the defense, by eliminating th��* testimony of about fifty wilnisse" milled to testify that they had take** ihe same treatment as the Williamson sisters under Dr. Hazzard, an<" found it beneficial. E. Mehner, father of Paul Mehner mayor of Bremerton, was the first o' these witnesses. "Were you ever under the care o* Dr. Hazard, and If so, what were the results?" queried Attorney Karr ft>�� tne defense. Special Prosecutor Kelly wanted te know if the witness was called as a��- expert witness. "No," said Karr "we want to show that the same treatment given othc patients as that given the Williamson sisters so as to prove the absence- of inteiu lo commit crime in the cas�� at bar." Kelly objected. Karr argued tha* -he court admitted such testimony when he allowed Miss Dorothea Williamson to testify as to Uie treatmen' she secured and 'what effect it had The court sustained the state's objection saying that 'Dorothea's evidence was admissible as showing a commor design on the lives of the sisters. James Watson Webb, who wa->�� given thc sobriquet of the "pure minded youth" by Prosecutor Kelly, was put on the carpet in a star chain tier session with Judge Yakey and the attorneys for having delivered himself of comments unsavory to the court ��� state's counsel and the Jury as well in the court house corridor in the presence of several witnesses whe bad not been called yet.

Oct IB. ���Loi��- DOJ" Tabebnactle, Lancaster Oate W., was crowded today to hear Pastor Russell. He spoke of mistaken notions re the end of the world. He assured his audience that "the earth abldeth f o r e v e r," and claimed tbat errors were built upon misinterpretations of "Script ure. His text was Revelation x. 6, 7. "And the angel sware * * * that the time should be no longer (delayed)." Pastor Russell declared that his text has no reference to tbe end of time- that time could never end, must al- ways endure. The word delayed should bave been added by tbe translators to catch the proper thought Tbe time mentioned would no longer be delayed The fulfilment of delayed promises would be accomplished. These views in recent years have been most pronouncedly voiced by Christian brethren styled Adventlsts. but really are to be found In nearly all the creeds of Christendom. Tbe erroneous theory has been further bolstered up by the misinterpretations of our Lord's words translated the end of the world. Our Lord said nothing about the end of the earth, ge; what He did mention was tbe end of the aion or Age ln which we live. Various atom or ages bave followed one another, eacb ending in turn end giving place to another. So the present aion or age we believe, will soon give place to a better aion or Age���tbe aion or age tn which sin and death have reigned will give place to an aion or Age in which Christ and His Church will reign triumphant. Heavens snd Earth on Firs Those who have not learned tbat the Bible frequently uses language ln ti symbolical manner may be excused for taking literally some of Bt Peter's statements respecting the burning of the heavens and tbe earth. A critical study shows that the Apostle could not have referred to the literal earth and tbe literal heavens as being consumed. He used the term ear'h sym bollcolly, as representing society, of which tbe mountains or kingdoms ure the backbone, just as be used the word heavens to represent the ecclesiastical VICTORIA, Jan. 26���The most important convention in connection with the agricultural department of the province of British Columbia which are being held at this time was opened yesterday in the Botanical Chambers of the Parliament Buildings, when the Farmers' Institutes congregated for' the discussion and transaction of the many broad and vital questions of business affecting the farming industry in the province. The session lasted throughout the day and it is likely that an extra session will have to be held in order lo complete the business. Many questions were discussed and in a few instances action was taken by means of resolutions. Perhaps the most important question that arose throughout the day was that concerning the telephone service in the province. A resolution was brought in recommending that the government be asked to facilitate the granting of charters to private companies desiring to operate ln the province, but when the matter came to be discussed it waa found that the vast majority of the delegates���and there were about a hundred of them ���favored much more drastic steps being recommended. Government ownership was frankly advocated, the argument against the private owner being the dual one that where he did operate a line he charg- i ed an exorbitant rate and that ln any case he was not likely to invade tho parts that could not be expected to pay, the parts which, so lt was stated, required the telephone the most on account of the railway and road isolation. Finally the matter was left to the committee to draw up another resolution. Another resolution fixing the limit of assessment of agricultural land at $300 per acre was passed by the convention on a division. Mr. Scott, the deputy minister of agriculture, presided over the meeting and the Hon. Price Ellison delivered an address in the afternoou. The eogai Bank ol Canada Incorporate** IM*.

Tbe "new heavens" will be the new ecclesiastical power���the Church in glory The "new earth" will be the new social arrange ment which Messiah will inaugurate. Some of the Difficulty The early Church hoped. In harmony with the Apostolic teachings, for Messiah's Kingdom to be established and for tbe resulting "times of restitution .f all things'which God batb spoken by the mouth of all the he>ly Prophets ���duee the world began."-Acts III. 10-21 After the Apostles fell asleep and the Kingdom still delayed, false doctrine's crept into the Church, amongst others the theory thai Christ's King dom was not to be waited feir���thut it cprue at Pentecost and the Apostles did not know of it; that It must conquer its way'to the Throne of eartb���that con- verts must be made even thouch the usslstanee of Inquisitional-? torments were necessary to effect this. False Kingdoms of God When the Protestant Reformation renounced Catholicism and denounced it as ADti-Chrlst lt proceeded, neverthe less, along the same lines Various Protestant Churches did their best to fill tbe place which I'apucy claimed and to get earthly kingdoms to support their claims to spiritual domination Thus the Czar of Russia Is the Head uf -the Creek Church, Emperor Wil liam is the Head of the Lutheran sys tern. King George is Head of the Church of England, theoretically. We may be sure, however, that none of these talented men believe for a mo ment that they are reigning as and for and Instead of Messiah. None of these are Kingdoms of Christ, nor could all of them together, called "Christendom." hope ever to bring to pass tbe glorious things promised of Messiah's Empire���that "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess to the glory of God."
