CITY COUNCIL Electrical Heating Rates are Reduced A special meeting of the city conn eil was held last night with Mayor Lindmark and Aid. Foote, Woodland, Lefeaux and Stone present. The meeting was culled to reconsider and finally pass and 9ilnpt the two bylaws number 1-2 and 123, repealing the cement, sid v Iks and boulevard bylaws and to tlisi iss general business. Bylaws 122 and 128, repealing liy - laws 118 and 121), were reconsidered and finally passed and sealed. A communication from Supt. T. Kilpatrick wus read complaining that the prices charged by the city for electrical material supplied to the O.P.K. shops during the month of September, while the strike was under way were excessive us compared with pricis and iiu.tations at Winnipeg and Vancouver. City electrician North was present and explained tbat the material supplied was the test and also that it had been supplied the C.P.11. in small quantities from time to time as they required it and not in large amounts. The prices charged the C.P.R. in this particular instance were tlie same as were charged to the oity householders. The council agreed that since the account was a large one and that this wae a special occasion where material was supplied in such quantities, ttiat a discount on thi whole amount could be given and a resolution waa passed that the C P.R. be offered 15 per cent diecount for their September account on the electrical material supplied, provided that the account be settled before the end of this mouth. The question of heating rates was discussed, and the advisability of reducing the sa.ie so as to encourage a day load on the machiues. This was decided upon and a resolution was passed that the heating rate he reduced to three cents per k. w. hour. The court of revision for local improvement by-laws in connection witli the cement .si lewalka and boulevards Was appointed, consisting ol the Mayor, and Aids. Woodland, Sawyer, Lefeaux and Foote, to hold its first session ou Tuesday evening, Dec. 29th. The Mayor stated that he bud sent a telegram to tbe Canadian General Klectric Co. insisting that the work of installing the auxiliary gas producer bo hurried to completion. The council lelt that the delay in the work waB unnecessary and uncalled for. A resolution was passed that the 8,UU0 gallon water tank constructed by the Revelstoke Sawmill Oo. for the producer plant at tbe power house be purchased and that its efficiency be guaranteed by the said company. The meeting ihen terminated. A SPLENDID MEETING Ski and Snow Shoe Club a Success A very well attended and enthusiastic meeting of the Ski and Snow Shoe Club took place at the Cily Hull on Tuesday evening. Although lhe council hud the hull engaged for a special meeting, the Mayor kindly gave up the room to the snow shoes. A num ber ot new names were affiled tu the list of members, nuw totalling 110, and over half paid up membership fees. A ter careful comparison of prices submitted it was decided to place tbe club's patronage with Mr. F. U. Wells, who. for encouragement of the sport, has quoted rates for skis and snow shoes to club members at cost price laid down, lie will order, as a starter, 18 pairs each of men's and women's sboes, and also some half dozen skis, and if members will kindly place their orders with him at once they will run 110 risk of not having tbeir outfit in time for the opening run, which will occur, weather suitable, as soon after New Year as possible. All intending to join this popular club are advised to place their name and fee (ifl) with Mr. J. Guy Barber, Secretary, or any member of tlie club, and to put in their request to Mr. Wells for the outfit, required, It was also decided to try and work out a toboggan slide, and a bee of "the boys" to locate the same will take pluce Saturday afternoon at 2 p. ni , starting from Mr. Long's brawery. Me-s s. ILigar aud Bethune have kindly offered to send for one toboggan and the club will purchase auother, provided a suitable slide can be secured. As it is not probable, without general request for the same, that a meeting of the club will take place till after the holidays, it is again urgently requested that all wisuiug 10 join should pay their fee (.fl) aud send iu I. quisitions to Mr. Wells for the outfit may riquiro Couio in and help the fun along and get ready to be in line for the opening run to the club house.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1908 A GOOD INVESTMENT An advertising appropriation in a reputable journal i? an investment and should be treated as t-tich. Not a? an expense nor charity, nor vanity, but a sum of money thai makes dividends. It should lie as irrevocably fixed upon the ledger at- =o much appropriated upon which to do business as rent, light, heat, power, and even more so tbiin salaries. The pruning should not be put into that appropriation as soon as times get slack ami or.lers -low up, b t rather the reverse. In this issue will he found many well written and interesting advertisements from our local merchant* who realize that to set before theil patrons, in black and « bite their many goods and prices is a great incentive to trade.

When tbe tunnels ure completed the present mileage between the two points will be increased Irom 4 to 8, but the giade will be reduced by exactly 100 per cent. There is one tunnel on each side of the river, one being 3,_,00 feet long und tbe other 2,800. A curious point about this work is that the exits will be almost immediately below the entrance.

CHIEF YOUNQ, - Proprietor FIRE BRIGADE NO. 1 Interesting Address by Mayor Lindmark The regular meeting of Fire Brigade No. 1 was held on Monday nigbt with a good attendance. Mayor Lindmark was present by invitation of tbe brigade. Chief Abrahamson briefly and pointedly explained the feeling of tbe brigade in regard to tbeir standing with the upper end ot the town complaining that No. I had always been secondary consideration when anything was being done lor the brigades and tbat tbey invariably got second band Irom No. 2 any improvements or additions to tbeir fire hall. He cited aa instances tbe set ol chairs supplied, the lack of hydrants, electric lights on tbe ball front and other things Mayor Lindmark in reply stated tbat he regretted very much that No. 1 brigade should harbor any ill feeling and he lelt sure thst when lie explained these matters in tbeir true light that there would be a better understanding all round. He pointed out tbat tbe citizens of Hevelstoke should bu proud of their firemen and referred to the splendid service rendered by No. lat the recent tire in the Cowan Block, highly complimenting tbe brigade on their work. He pointed out tbat he was most anxious to further tbe interests of both brigades and urged that unity between them exists. He explained in a clear manner that No. 1 did not get a scoudary consideration as far as tbs council was concerned and promised that the improvements and additions to equipment, hydrants, etc., would be seen to at once. Tbe mayor then stated that be had done all he could during bia term ol otlice to help out tbe brigade and hoped tbat no further misunderstanding would occur. A resolution was passed tbat No. 1 brigade, after hearing tbe remarks of Mayor Lindmark, do tender bim a hearty vote of thanks for his dealings with the brigade during bia term of otlice as mayor. Then followed the nomination of officers for eleotion for the ensuing year; general business was transacted and tbe meeting adjourned.

Kamloops is considering the question ol organizing a Y, M.C.A. on the lines of the Revelstoke institution. We can vouch for the fundamental principles on whioh our own Y. M. C. A. ie based, and tho success that bas attended tbe carrying out ol tbis magnificent scheme. If Kamloops is anxious to organize a Y. M. C. A. aod wishes to take Kevelstoke as ao example, that community must remember that tbe success of our association is due mainly to tbe grit and enthusiasm ot our townspeople and the untiring energy of those who carried the thing through. Kevelstoke citizens are proud ol their Y. M. C. A., and rightly so, as they bave built it up and now carry it on in a manner that reflects credit nn the city, and which creates the admiration ol all who visit it. Moral and physical training and development of tbe youth ol our city are mainly due to the inlluences ol the Y. M C. A., and in spite of those j wbo, jealously or from a 'eiiae of nar- I row-minded grudge, would knock its woik, the average youth can bs made as good a christian and sensible ol home inlluences by attending theaeso ciation's moral, mental and physical training than by listening to many a long-winded and ambiguous addreas from a church pulpit. Kamloops cannot go far wrong if she institutes a Y. M. C. A. on the lines ol Kevelsto ke A Curious Duel. The lollowing quaint account ol a duel is taken from an old paper, and will probably be new to moat people: A duel was lately (ought by Alexander Shott and John Nott. Nott was Sliolt snd Shott was nott. In this case it ia better to be Stunt than Nott. There was a rumor that Nott waa uot shot, and Hlmtt avows that he shot Nott, which proves either that the shot Shott shot at Nott waa not shot, or that Nott waa ahot. Not wi thstanding that circumstantial evidence is not always good, it may he made to appear on trial that the ahot Shott shot shot Nott, or as accidents with firearms are frequent, it may be possible tbat the shot Shott ahot shot Shott himself, when the whole affair would resolve itaelf into its original elements, and Hbott would be shot and Nott would be uot. We think, however, that the shot Shott shot shot not Shott but Nott. Anyway it is hard to tell who was shot. See our window ol toys—'everything you oan think ol at C. II.
