Neither side could be  made to see the reasonableness oi the  other's contentions, and tho Government was satisfied to let the matter  stand as it now is.  The argument oi Mr. Justin Gilbert  the leader of the clergymen fighting  for exemption, was that the State  owed the church a great obligation,  and indicated that the exemption of  church property might not be an unfitting manner of observing it. He  also stated that the objectors to  church exemption were for the most  part non-churchmen, and he argued  that they were not fully qualified.to  speak impartially on the subject.  Mr. Whiteley, who s.^e for the  opposers of church exemption, took  the ground that there should be no  special privileges in regard to taxation. He did not believe that there  should be any connection between  Church and State; but regarding the  question of exemption, he thought it  most unwise to enter upon any policy  of the kind, because once started no  one could tell where it would lead to.  He pointed out that in the city of  Montreal, where exemption had been  allowed, the citizens had now awakened to the fact that practically one-  fifth of the assessable value of the  city was" in the hands of church "people, and as such, was immune from  taxation, in spite of the fact that  church property there, as elsewhere,  owed its tremendous increase in value  to the growth of population and the  other industrial factors of everyday  life.  Mr. Gilbert's argument that the  majority of objectors to exemption  are non-churchmembers and therefore not fully qualified to speak on  the subject, is very funny. It is also  very weak. To answer such argument in like manner, one might say,  and with a heap more justification,  that the clergy make their living out  of the church, therefore are not fully  qualified to speak impartially on the  subject. Church people themselves  are not, as a general thing, in favor  oi church exemption. The cry for  church exemption is the cry of the  pulpit more than of the pew���������������������������the  priest more than the people. Taxation is a question of the state, not  of the church, therefore the matter  of churchmembcrship has nothing to  do with it.     It costs so much to run  a community, in the up-keep of the  streets, policing, and looking after  civic business generally. One individual property is as much benefitted  as another, and each should bear his  proportion of the cost to entitle him  to his proportion of the benefits.  The church is simply an integral part  of the community. It is no better  and no worse than the people of the  community. Many clergymen, and  we bclievet he vast ma-ority of members of the churches, openly admit  that church exemption is a bad principle, and if exemption is bad as a  .matter of principle, isn't it as bad  as a matter of expediency? Because  times are hard, the men who arc in  erty exempt from taxation. They  would throw the load upon the private property owner and the busi-  control seek to have the church prop-  ness industries of the Province, who,  perhaps, feel the pressure of the hard  times even more than the church.

SAND ON UNDER RECEIVER  -FEBRUARY 19. 1914  rr-r-   _ _ ' ���������������������������     -     -���������������������������������������������  A SPLENDID SHOWING   .  The Government of this province  has set to the task of placing upon  its feet the. selling organization of  the, growers, and now that the work  has been' undertaken there is to be  . no turning back. Mistakes will no  -" doubt be made here and there by the  O   local branches of   the -organizations,  but these mistakes will be overcome,  and  remedies found for every trouble  that may   be   encountered.     All has  not been easy sailing for the United  Growers since organization less, than  a year ago, nor   is   it reasonable to  hope that   all   will   be clear sailing 1  this year,   or   next,   but, in view of ���������������������������  the fine   showing   made   in  handling j  thc crop of 1913, we can look forward J  with confidence in the future success !  of the organization.      We would call j  particular attention to the report in  this issue of   the   proceedings at thc  annual  meeting  of the United. Grow- :  ers held this week   at Vernon.     The |  report of   Manager   Robinson on the '  past season's work   is worthy of thp '  closest   reading   by   every person in-  =i=1.tcr.e������������������ted-iin_^bi-ing-lng-���������������������������to-=-a--successf ul-  issue the selling organization of the I  growers of the Valley. This organization MUST succeedf It HAS succeeded, we think remarkably Well, in  the first season's operations; and it  will succeed, on a far larger scale, in  handling the crop of 1914.  Every grower,   every mixed farmer,  will readily see   in   readirjg_the_ man  ager's report of the past season's  operations that it is to his interest  as a grower, and to thc community's  interest as a whole, for each and all  to get into line and boost for the  organization. It is distinctly a cooperative organization, and as such  must succeed, as all other co-operative selling organizations elsewhere  have succeeded.  We have gone to considerable expense to get a complete report of the  general meeting, for we believe it is  most essential for the actual facts in  connection with the season's op-orations to be made known to the public owing to so many false reports  having been circulated by men who  apparently do- not understand conditions. It is so easy to pick up the  wrong thought in connection with  any report that one hears, and to  enlarge upon it until the facts are  sadly distorted Much harm, we believe, has already been done in this  section by these false reports being  circulated, and we feel that the only  way to effectually overcome it, is to  produce a full report of the proceed-  There was a time, in the balmy  days of the Silvery Slocan, when the  city of Sandon had a population oi  two or three thousand. The people  were packed in between the high  mountains like sardines, and they  flew about like ants around a lump  of sugar. In those days, Sandon's  single street was so narrow one could  spit from one sidewalk to the other.  But there never was a more happy,"  care-free people than those of Sandon, nor a more heroic people when  tribulation came. . They were fire-  swept, flood-drenched aud snow-  covered from time to time, and two  newspaper plants- were there to' tell  the story of the richness of the Slocan to the world and to pass along  the word of cheer that was heard on  all sides.  When Sandon was laid out there  was only room for one street down  the centre of the town, and that was  occupied by Carpenter Creek. In the  flood-time of spring this creek became a raging torrent, while in the  summer-time it was a narrow, shallow rivulet. To build the street  where the people of Sandon wanted  it they had to flume the creek and  build the street over it. Fine brick  and frame business blocks were erected on either side of the street, with  the rushing waters of the creeik flowing within a few feet of the foundations of -the buildings. In fiood-  iimeU-tj^uired^thc-eternal-vigiience1  of the people to prevent the choking-  up of the flume. Many times, for  days and nights together the citizens  slept and worked in shifts to guard  the flume and save the city. To  those people there was no place on  earth quite so    dear   to thorn as old  Sandon. They feared no dangers,  either of fire, flood or "snow-slide,  and so long as Sandon was prosperous they could not be driven out.  Three or four chartered banks were  established there; fine, large, commodious hotels were erected; also  a handsome school building, churches  and residences adorned the steep  mountain-sides.  Finally there came,that prolonged  miners' strike. The mines were shut  down, tramways stopped and mills  closed. Capital was diverted; interest in mining lost and a long  period of depression followed. One  business house after another went by  the board; thc banks pulled out, the  newspapers ceased publication, and  the churches simmered down to one.  A hundred people now roam aimlessly about the narrow street where  thousands pushed each other to and  fro in times of yore. Bars were  turned into hen-roosts, jack-pots into  soup-bowls, and hotel princes into  cooks and bar-sweeps. There is not  today the-shadow of the past. The  buildings still stand, and, no doubt,  one day they will again he occupied  by people, but not people of the  type of the pioneer  Sandonite.  A bill is now before the Provincial  Legislature entitled the Sandon Receivership Act Amendment Act. It  provides for the appointment of a  receiver with all the powers and authority heretofore vested in or exercisable by the Mayor and council,  board of police commissioners, board  of license commissioners, -board of  school trustees, and all other officers  of the said city, and for the termination of office of all such officers now  holding. Until August, 1915, the receiver thus appointed will have full  control of the civic and school affairs  and shall conduct the affiairs of the  city as the affairs of any business institution in liquidation should be  handled-.

Sweeping- reductions in the handling
charges of the "Central," a refund of
$20,258.91 of 1913 handling charges ��������� to
the growers; an increase in the executive, in order that the peach growing
sections to the south may be represented; a decision to run shorter pools,
find, in certain cases to establish district pools, and the adoption of a policy of making advances to growers on
their contracts,���������these were a few of
thc matters of vital concern to thc
fruit and produce growers of thc Okanagan Valley which were considered at
the annual meeting of thc shareholders
""of the Okanagan United Growers, Ltd.,
held at the hoard of Trade room in
Vernon on Monday and Tuesday of this
week.    -
The meeting, which was well attended by .shareholders from all the eight
locals, with the exception of Salmon
Arm, was" called to order Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock by the president,
J. E. Reekie,., of Kelowna.
Reporters Admitted.
" Before the minutes were read it was
moved by "W. C. Ricardo, and seconded
by   C.   AV.   Little,   that   newspaper   rc-
* porters be admitted to ail the meetings, in order'that'a-fulT account of
the proceedings might be available for
oil the growers in the'Okanagan Val-
7-"nV doubt we have-made mistakes,"
said Mr. Ricardo, "but, we have also
done some good vfork. In any event,
wo -have tried to do the best for tlie
growers, and T think the public should
have a full account of .our actions." .
Pefore.the'minutes were road a,legal
technicality was brought up, which disqualified all but eleven of the shareholders present from putting motions
or voting at the meeting. '"The'tangle
arose  out   of  the  complications  "of  or-
- sanitation made necessary last year
becausV'of the fact "that the-local fruit
" unions could -not legally own stock, in
the Central. - At the time of-,the organization '26 -shares   were- issued,   to

At the evening session thc committee
brought in  a report  which   was  unanimously adopted, providing that during

bulk be   handled   at  75c  per  ton.    On
soft   fruits,    stone   fruits   and   boxed

change, were not acted on, but will be
taken up with the solicitors of the'
Central. If they advise changes, slight
amendments may be made to the contracts of all growers in the valley, so
that the form of contract in use by all
eight locals will be the same. "
At the Tuesday morning session a
resolution was passed providing that in
future the practice of the different
locals in the matter of contracts with
shareholders who ship through the
Central be made uniform.
A resolution proposing the engagement of an assistant for Mr. Robertson, to devote liis time exclusively to
the'sale of produce, was withdrawn on
information being given that the
board of directors was already considering such a step.
The proposal to allow the directors
$3 per day''and expenses when busied
exclusively for the Central met with
hearty support,' as did the resolution
proposing" that an arrangement be made
to provide for cash advances to growers at a. fixed date before or after the
delivery of fruit or produce.
-Estimate   of   Crops.
The working basis for such an arrangement as proposed by 'Dr. Jones
received the approval of the manager,
Air. Robertson. The plan as tentatively
outlined is for, the "grower to.apply to
the Local for ah advance, - giving an
estimate of the crop he expects to deliver under contract. The Local could
then make ah investigation., verifying
the estimate, and report its- recommendations to the Central. The latter
in turn could make the cash advance on
a virtual guarantee from the Local,
which would be protected by an assignment by the grower under contract.
Tuesday's afternoon session was
short,' for many of the shareholders
from'the northern end of the valley
were anxious-to leave the.city on the
3.30 train. .  " .    *'
A resolution brought in by the Armstrong delegation read as 'follows:*
"Resolved that o.wing to the fact that
from 90 to 100 varieties of apple's" are
shipped from the different locals, manv
in- very small lots', .adding, greatly to
the cost of handling^ that when desired
an orchard run pack.in crates be*,per-
mitted -for our prairie,, trade." ��������� The
course "of action outlined in this-resolution being already; under, ^consideration by" the directors! lhc������motioii'was

BAD DAYS FOR MANUEL.
Former King of Portugal Loses
,   His Title and Big Allowance.
Ex-King Manuel of Portugal has
just-lost ?50,000 a year from his income. Until the last day of January
���������this sum was furnished him from the
private purse of King George, and at
the same time, he lost the title of
"King" in England, also by order of '
King George. ';
- This was the outcome of the formal
renunciation of all claims to the Portuguese throne in favor of the Bragan-
zas, which took place a fortnight before the marriage of Manuel and Princess Augustine, of Tiohenzollcrn, at
Simmarlngen.
The   father   of  the   princess  refused, t
positively, to aliow( the marriage of his ..
daughter to a man who might be mixed up  with such bloody affairs as the
Portuguese  revolutionists  have.stagcri _
within the past few years, and Manuel,
'who had already, earned  the-contempt    "-

cuh^.ou  "'. _ .   . ,t)ic   clircctors   formulate   and   suggest
charge on vegetables be reduced from
42 per to to 50 cents. Mr. Ricardo
explained that he did not mean to be
arbitrary about the 'amount ot the reduction, but introduced the resolution
merely to start a discussion of the
question of making a low flat rate.
"Such a movement as this,'" said Mr.
Ricardo '>vill bring all the growers into
line and take a .large amount of business from our competitors."
Robert AVoodb. of Armstrong, pointed
out that the reduction of handling
charges on vegetables was eminently
just Mr. AVoods then cited potatoes,
which if sold nt $14 per ton would bo
liable to handling charges from local
and central of $3 per ton, whereas hay,
under thc present schedule -when selling at SIS per ton, would after the re-
hate hnvo cost in handling charges
only $1.30.
Give mid  Take Policy.
.1. G. C. AA'hite, of Summerland. and
A. Huntley, of Penticton, urged that
the success of the co-operative movement depended on a give-and-take-
policy; that all members must consider the sood of all others and be prepared to have the handl.ng charges
adjusted, so that thc burden would be
divided equitably among all.
R. Robertson, the manager of the
Central, expressed an entire willingness to give consideration to a flat
rate policy, but urged that ample
charges be retained so that the funds
, would cover the operating charges of
the Central.,        './'���������.���������"
Dr. Jones, of .Kelowna, expressed a
willingness to face a deficit at the end
of the year, rather than have any of
the vegetable growers withdraw from
the associations.
The upshot of the discussion was. the
appointment of the following committee which was instructed to bring in
recommendations at the evening session: AAr. C, Ricardo, A, Huntley, C.
AV. Little, Dr. Jones, G. J. C. White, T.
of pools. The resolution as .presented
specified, that long J.crm^ pools are undesirable, and recommended'that hereafter they be confined to'one month if
possible. "AA'here "longer pools are
necessary it was' desired that 90
cent, of the returns" be paid "to
growers within  30 days.-
1,'eft   to   Directors."
The'1 "matter  was   finally  left.to
directors   of   the   Central   who  are
rcady"working out the details of>a new
schedule for pools -which -will be submitted to  the locals for ratification
per.
the
the
to  the Government such'provisions as
they may deem advisable.
Xcw Itoaril of Directors.
This concluded the' matters brought
for consideration before the "informal
'gathering, whereupon the legal shareholders "met and ratified the foregoing
resolutions and elected the .following
directors for "the year' 1911: Arm-
ai_ | strong, Robert AVood and A. Fowler;

In  	
the next annual meeting a resolution
was passed that in future 'all resolutions must bo in the hands of the secretary twenty-one days before tho
meeting. This will give time for their
circulation among thc locals before
the meeting, in order that the sentiment of the entire valley may be
gauged before definite action is taken.
'T, as a grower, wish to introduce a
mild protest/7said Dr. Jones, of.Kelowna, "for 1 think we have not had
all thc information we have been entitled to. This year we have been disappointed in the prices obtained, largely because of the fact that information
concerning sales and pools was not
^ont to thc locals."
Itulletins   tit   Growers.
Mr. Robertson, the manager, concurred with Dr. Jones and promised in
future greater publicity in the form of
reports and bulletins to growers.
Thc following resolution was passed
after considerable debate: "Resolved
that the Central, as an agent, should
render detailed accounts of all transactions.."     *���������
Mr. Robertson then asked for the
opinion of thc shareholder? as to the
advisability of continuing the salley
I'ool- system unimpaired or of placing
handicaps on certain commodities. It
was felt that some change in policy
will bo necessary because of the fact
that produce of particular kinds from
certain localities brings higher prices
at the Trairie and Vancouver markets
than does the general average output
of the valley. Growers in these favored spots, it was held, are clearly entitled' to the preferential price offered
for their superior products.
The details of the plan were left to
the discretion of the directors to be
worked out in connection with the new
pooling schedule. -'

One was listed giving a yeild of only

With a dairy farm growing corn,

pretty good pasture, It should not be
very dillicult to produce 2.000 pounds

system should yield tin income of over
thirty dollars per acre Instead of the
Ins-ignificant average of five dollars
and seventy-nine cents which was the
average yield per acre cultivated, including pasture, given olllHally as the
average return from live thousand
cows in Ontario. The acres need not
be idle more than  the cows.
The herd will average up better if
the poor cows -are weeded out. Do

A'ou can easily detect them if you

On the  preceding page of    this paper will be  found  a summary    of    these proceedings up    to   Tuesday   evening.     The  meeting   of   the    Executive was convened  on Wednesday morning and in  next week's issue    we hope to give a  summary of   the   proceedings at the  Executive    meeting.       In   the  meantime we    urge   our   readers again to  carefully study the proceedings of the  general    meeting    on    the preceeding  page.       Supplementary to the report  of the general   meeting,  we desire to  place before our   growers, the explanation of    the   policy   of the Central  Agency as followed   the past season,  as made by Mr.    Rob.r.son, the able*  manager, at a    meeting held at Penticton last week.     In his talk there,  Mr.  Rob".ison    designated   the policy  which had been pursued in 1913 as a  necessarily    slow    policy,   contingent  upon     the     lateness   in    organizing.  There  has  been    considerable" misrepresentation as    to   the results of tbe  season's work, and wrong deductions  made from a    wrong   basis of statements,   but   he    was   of the opinion  that when the growers had heard his  explanation  of   matters their verdict  would be satisfactory.  "There were two great problems  confronting us at the beginning of  the season," declared the speaker.  "These were, how to market the  goods, and the question ot transportation, or' how to get the goods to  the consumer.  "Visiting the prairies.at my own  expense, I found a controlling ring of  wholesalers and two brokerage houses  about which so much has been'said.  The question then arose, whether or  not to go by the wholesale houses or  to pay a brokerage."  The speaker explained that the  prairie brokerage houses are directly  controlled by the wholesale ring, who  deem it to their advantage to do  their buying in this manner, so necessarily, to reach the wholesaler, recourse must be made to the broker-s  age house.  "A contract was entered into,"  said Mr. Robertson, (we are quoting  from the Penticton Herald) "with  the Alberta Brokerage, whereby we  paid them ?15 a car on fruit and ?J0  a car on vegetables sold through  them. Tn approaching the Mutual  Brokerage Co., which, by the way,  has a   great_ many _ more,,wholesale  I total sales. As a consequence, one  j half the charge kept back trom the  | growers for expenses of the Central,  j will be handed back, and in addition  ' .$1,000 will be left to the credit of'the  Central in the bank.  The trading account for the year  ending Dec. 31st, 1913, of thc Okanagan United Growers, shows a total  revenue of ?4O,7S0. Of this amount  $21,206 is held as the profit on the  season's business, and this sum is  now to be paid back to the growers.  Supplies, feed, spray, etc., to the  amount of $6,557 were purchased by  the Central for the growers, and on  handling this a profit of $164 was  made by Central, and. placed to the  profit and loss account.

I  thought this over and, realizing that  the Mutual could give us a tremend  ous distribution, accepted the offer.  This was after I found that the Mutual was paid the   same price by the  "A-merica'h^shipp^rsr^NMdleW^o'sayV  the advantage of putting our goods  on a par with American goods with  the selling agents was apparent."  Tn justifying this step, Mr. Robertson pointed out that it would be futile, considering that organization  had scarcely been completed before  the crop began to move, to have  tried with one stroke to disorganize  past channels of trade and open new  ones. This would have most probably entailed a big gamble, and instead of showing a profit on the  year's operations, a big deficit would  have probably occurred.  The brokerage paid to the Mutual  had been amply justified, as that  firm had given the distribution for  about 75 per cent of the total Okanagan crop, and the brokerage paid  them had been $7,9G9 as against ?8G2  to thc Alberta Brokerage house.  Total shipments from the Okanagan  during the past season had been 541  cars of fruit, 35G cars ot vegetables,  and 57 cars of hay. Up to the 31st  of September the amount required in  the running of the Central Selling  Agency,  had been 4.4  per cent of thc  185-ft. frontage on Belvedere street,  with 7-roomed house, stable and  woodshed; for sale cheap.

In order to  stimulate greater interest in these  various districts for their growth,  tion as to the adaptability of the  two crops, and also to gain informa-  the Provincial Department of Agriculture is arranging to distribute to  the larmers, through the Institutes,  small quantities of seed corn and  alfalfa.  One pound each of three varieties  of corn, or five pounds of Grimm's  Extra No. 1 alfalfa seed, will be supplied free, but a charge of" 50c will  be made in case of the alfalfa. The  alfalfa seed is expensive, and a small  charge is thought advisable, so that  application for seed will not be made  by parties who are not interested.  More than one application from the  same farm will hot7:be considered.  Each institute may make application  for five tests with corn and five tests  with alfalfa, but seed for a larger  number of tests will not be supplied  to any one institute.  No applications for seed shall be  accepted by the secretary ol the institute later than March 1st, 1914,  and all application forms must reach  the office of the Provincial Soil and  . Crop Instructor not later than Mar.  15th, 1914.  All farmers to whom seed is supplied are required to fill in a simple  report form, and mail it to the  office ol the Provincial Soil and Crop  ALL QUIET AT "OTTAWA  When the Dominion parliament  opened it was said by correspondents  at Ottawa that we may look out for  a lively session. It was hinted that  the Liberal leader and his followers  would fight every step of the way,  and that Mr. Borden would have his  hands full. But the session is now a  month old, and so far there has been  no sign of a row. Moreover, it is  admitted, and admitted freely, by  Liberal members themselves, that the  session will most lively be short and  quiet, coming to a peaceful end  toward the end of May.  This sudden   change of front has a  meaning.       There's    a   reason.     The  reason is that   thc    Liberal members  have opened   their   eyes   to the fact  that their    numerous    and conflicting  policies do not appeal to the people  of Canada, and that there must be a  new   start.       The   notion   that   the  turnover of    September 21, 1911, was  an accident, and that another election,  would bring    about a reversal of the  verdict, has    been abandoned.    There  was,  of    course,   nothing    in it, but  there     were     Liberals,    particularly  among the ex-ministers,  whose heads  were in the sand, and who were perfectly sure that   the Liberal sun had  been only temporarily eclipsed.  When these dreamers went home  after the last session, after killing  the Naval Aid Bill, the Highways  Bill and the Branch Lines Bills, they  found.their electors looking at them  coldly. Then came the Chateauguay  disaster,  Thursday, February 19, 1914  INSTITUTE    LECTURES  The following lectures have been  arranged to be held in connection  with the Northern Okanagan Farmer's Institute:  In Agricultutal Hall, Mara���������������������������Thursday, Mar. 5th, 2 p. m.; speakers, H.  E. Upton, poultry; T. A. F. Wiancko,  farm dairy work; Wm. Schulmerich,  hogs and dairy cattle.  The same speakers will speak on the  same subjects at Enderby, in K. of P  Hall, on the evening of March 5th, at  8 p.m.  Mr.    Schulmerich   favored   Enderby  with a visit and a   lecture some two  years ago.      Ho is a practical, well-  to-do dairy stock man of Oregon, and  on his last visit to the district, said  he believed it was the finest district  he had seen for dairy stocik and hogs  and his address at that time was declared to be the   best ever delivered  here because of   its optimistic spirit  and   thoroughly   practical     interest.  All who, heard   Mr.    Schulmerich before will be glad to   welcome him on  his return lecture.  Coffee buns and coffee rolls fresh  each day at noon, at Joe's. Cakes  to order at all times.

It is  expected that those who receive seed  will see that the   crop is given reasonable   care.       The    distribution   of  this seed  involves the expenditure of  a large sum of money by the Department and no good will be attained if  farmers  obtain    seed   and   allow the  work in connection with the crop to  be neglected or carelessly done.  A short circular on corn and alfalfa will be prepared .and supplied  with the seed to those making application. ' Applications for seed must  be made on the form supplied to thc  secretary of the institutes.  SHOES  -1  We are the agents for the celebrated  tMPRESS    One of the BEST Ladies' Shoes made.
