THE CITY COUNCIL Proposal to Erect Joint Isolation Hospital by Boundary Towns Annual Tax Sale of Oity Property to Be Held on September 14 The regular meeting of the city council wbb held Monday evening, Mayor Fripp and Aid. Lequime, Manly, McCallum being present. W. G. McMynn.government agent at Greenwood, wrote that the proposed isolation hospital would be located in or near Grand Forks. The provincial government would bear one-third of the cost nnd the munic- ipalties participating in its construction two-thirds. The clerk was instructed to notify Mr. McMynn that thecouncil considered the proposition favorably, and desired to be furnished with an estimate of the cost. The railway commission, in answer to Solicitor Sutton, wrote that the C.P.R. bad stated that the signal apparatus for the Riverside avenue crossing had arrived in Grand Forks and work of installing it begun, also asking that they be advised if it is not completed in reasonable time. The Royal bank asked permission to construct a septic tank under the sidewalk at its proposed new building at the corner of Bridge and First streets. The council felt inclined to allow the bank to build the tank under the First street walk, with the proviso that in the event it proved a nuisance it would have ' to be removed. The clerk was instructed to inform the bank that the council would take final action when the plans of the tank are submitted. The chairman of the water and light committee made a complaint against the B. C. Telephone company's guy wires at the corner of Bridge and First streets, and the council ordered the company to remove the same, The board of works reported having employed a man to cut obnoxious weeds in the city. The health and relief eommitteo reported that the necessary arrangements had been made to send an indigent old gentleman to the Kamloops home. Aid. Whiteside reported that Mr. construct sidewalks and other mu- nrcipal works and charge a portion of the cost against the owners of property on streets where improvements are made. A representative of the Vancouver World addressed the council in reference to an advertising proposition in a Bpecial issue of that paper. He offered a page ad. and a page write- up for $200, the council to pay $100 of this amount and the board of trade and the business men the balance. The proposal was very thoroughly discussed, and, cm a vote being taken, the offer was rejected, Aid. Lequime and Whiteside voting for and Aid. Manly and McCallum and the mayor against it.

Naughan, of Montreal, assistant to the vice-president and At intermittent period during the present summer faint rumors have reached this office that the fruit crop in the valley was not all that it should be. The Sun therefore, on Sunday last, decided to make a personal inspection, and with that object in view a number of orchards were visited. At Mr. Eugene Her- rick's place, on the Covert estnte, a thorough examination of tbe orchard revealed the fact that instead of dearth of fruit, the owner complained bitterly because be lacked the time to thin the growing fiuit properly. All the apple trees of the standard varieties were loaded with fruit. On only a few trees, of varie ties not adapted to this climate, was there a scarcity of fruit noticable. Mr. Herrick informed The Sun that some of his cherry trees had netted him 810 each this year. This does not look much like a fruit crop failure. Mr. Herrick was of the opinion that there should be a market for the fruit at present being thinned out. The apples are perfectly formed, and make as nice pies and sauce as the ripe ones, but the only use that can now be mude of them is to feed them to the hogs. authenticated report that Engineer Baseett, who, it will be remembered, was here in the spring and early summer of 1905 locating tho V., V. & E. from Hedley both ways, is now in the Coquihall with a large force of men, and the belief is that it is the C.P.R. he is working for. Should this be bo, and the C.P.R. means business, there will be high jinks in the Coquihalla, for the Great Northern railway will have to throw on the high gear if they expect to keep the C.P.1.!. from beating them hollow in the race. With the link from Midway to Nicola connected up and a route down the Co- i|uihalla to Hope the O.P.R. would have a cinch on the Boundary-coast passenger traffic. Thus it transpires bit by bit that the snail's pace maintained in building the V., V. & E. during the past four years has been the means of hatching up numerous difficulties that would never have been heard of if the work had been pushed vigorously to completion. With the cherished scheme of a joint route down the Coxuihalla for the V., V. & E. and the Canadian Northern railway that valley was to be a veritable vale of amity suggestive of the millenium itself; but the V., V. & E. tarried too long and Dan Mann's men went nosing down the Fraser, and as a result of the incursion we have Bassett's C.P.R braves in war paint.

The probability of a consolidation of the Dominion nnd British Columbia Cupper properties, which has frequently been predicted, is emphasized by the inclusion of two representatives of the General Development company. The North John Simpson, who returned to this city last week from Athabasca Landing, where he has been teaching school during the pnst year, gives an interesting description of that far-north settlement. There are five stores, n large hotel, a newspaper, and a branch of the imperial bank at the Landing, he says. The hotel, the newspaper and the bank are tho most northerly in America east of the Rockies.

At about 4 o'clock this morning fire was discovered in he old Queens hotel building on Gouernment avenue in the West end. In the confusion that followed, everybody overlooked the fact that tho most important thing on such occasions is to send in an alarm ns quickly as possible. Consequently some time elapsed before the department was notified, and when the brigade reached the scene the Harries were beyond control, and when they were finally extinguished the Queens hctel, F. W. Elmore's meat market and the buitding occupied by Mrs. Haverty and family, formerly known ns the Engle hotel, had been reduced to small heaps of ashes. To add to the discomfiture of the fire boys, tne water pressure was poor, and they had all they do to save the bnildiugs on the opposite side of the street and Laurier hall, all of which caught a-fire several times. The buildings destroyed were all frame structuros,anJ the fire burned fiercely. The Hames were not discovered until they bad gained considerable headway, and some narrow escapes are reported. Miss Larson, who occupied a room on the second lloor of the Queens, was forced to climb down a verandah post. She lost about 8100 worth of personal effects. The Haverty family barely had time to get out of the house with one change of clothes. Everything else was lost. Nothing wns saved from thc meat market but the scales. Some of the people, in making their escape from the burning buildings, sustained minor injuries. The estimated losses are: P. I). McDonald, owner of the Queens, loss $3000, insurance $2000; F. W. Elmore, losstSOOO, insurance $2000; Mrs, Haverty, loss between 81600 and $2000, no insurance. The fire Started in lhe renr of the Queens hotel, and Is supposed to have been thc work of sonic hobo.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1909 The suggestion has frequently been made to The Sun that the city should make an effort to secure the two half blocks in the burnt district near the North Fork for park purposes. The idea is an excellent one, and we heartily endorse it. We are afraid, however, that it would be difficult for the city to finance the 9t*henie at piesent. But it will do no harm to obtain the views of the ratepayers on the subject. tion that comes from having added something to the world's wealth, or gained a great business success or industrial victory, is a pleasure the idler can never know. The man who loves his work takes as much pride in turning out a good job as the athlete does in winning a game, and in nine cases out of ten the work gives him as much vigorous and healthful exercise as is to be obtained on the diamond, links or tennis court. This sort of man never commits suicide. It is the person who has listened to the gospel of discontent until he has become envious of his more successful brother that generally resorts to self- destruction. NEWS OF THE CITY A club composed of disheartened factory employees, advocating suicide as the only means within their reach ' of attaining the peace of mind they ! crave and to escape the torments of their daily grind, is said to exist in Cleveland, Ohio. The feeling of discontent which pervades the working classes of today is largely responsible for this lamentable state of affairs. To the man or woman who possesses a healthy body and a sound mind, work should not be viewed in the light of drudgery or torment, but as a pastime. There is more pleasure in accomplishing the object one may set himself than there is in idling away the time. Work, when looked at in this light, is not as fatiguing as a game of baseball or cricket: and the satisfac- Mr. and Mrs. A. B. W.

The union affects the tide and the untied. After all, it may be better to be a spendthrift than a lendthrift, Many a girl will knit her brow who wouldn't darn her stocking. Sciine people only tell the truth when they think it is going to hurt. Pay compliments, and you won't be forced to eat your own words. The average woman is apt to tell all she knows, and then some mure. Most of us try to forget the mean things we know about ourselves. The man who can afford a good press agent can get along very well without genius. It takes a great of experience for a fellow to fall in love and lnnd on his feet. Fewer flowers to the dead and a little more charity to the living woulel help some. .Some people always looking for trouble, and are not satilied when they find it. The social climber is anxious to go to heaven because there is where all the best people go. A man is sometimes away off when he claims that distance lends enchantment to the view. The pessimist doesn't worry about the uncertainties of life. He expects the worst, anyhow. If a woman i.s only sure her hat is on straight and her skirt hangs right, she feels that she is equipped to conquer worlds.

Morgan and Mr Spencer on the local option plebiscite, says: "I ean assure you it is the govern- tncni's intention to take a plebiscite on this question. At tho present I am not in a position to make a public announcement in this regard. Vou may rest satisfied that ample time will be given between tbe announcement and the taking of the plebiscite." After many years' experience in local option campaigns, Dr, Spencer says Hritish Columbia has made wonderful strides in its desire for the people to settle tho liquor question, and to eliminate it from politics. Wise statesmen will do this. Error Discovered Vancouver, Aug. 2.— A.

You are astonished to learn that they are mother and daughter, and you realize that a woman at forty or forty-live ought to be at her finest and fairest. Why isn't it so? The general health of woman is so intimately associated with the local health of the essentially feminine organ:: that there can be no red cheeks and round form where then is female weakness. Women who have suffered from this trouble have found prompt relief and cure in the use of Dr. Fierce"* Favorite Prescription. It gives vigor and vitality to the organs of womanhood.

Suuduy, August lu, 1909. la il's Third Missionary Journey— Ephi sua. Acts xviii:23 to xix:22. lie lden Text—The name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. Acts xix:17. Ver-e 23—Is u systematic "follow up system" as essential in Christian work as it is in successful business! Are any so strong that we cannot derive"',&trengtlieQing" from the prayers and the experience of others, and are any so weak that we may not "strengthen" others) Verses 21-2(1—What is the minimum of knowledge necessary in order that one may lee a true child of God! What are the minimum qualities es- si'iitial to become a preacher of the gospel? What good qualitios for a preacher did this man Apollos possess? What did ''the baptism nf John" include, and what did it lack of full orbed Christianity? What percentage of present day preachers will exceed Apollos (1) in their zeal and ability (2), iu their Christian knowledge, i.e.; personal experience, of Christ's gospel! If Apollos had been conceited or anything less than a man of God, would he have submitted to teaching from a layman euicl his wife? Verse 27—Should laymen use the pen more frequently to help preachers whom they know who are going to other towns? Verse 28—Why is it that Cod has conditioned all human progress and betterment, including a knowledge of the gospel, upon the zeal, ability and goodness of those who. already enjoy its benefits? Chap. xix:l-7—Were these twelve persons whom Paul found at Ephesus, actually the reconciled children of God at this time? What proportion of present day Christians have, practically, the same experience as these twelve disciples had, when Paul met them? Is the Holy Spirit, as spoken of in this lesson, generally received at or subsequent to conversion! If it is now the privilege of every Christian to receive the Holy Spirit, and tn Walk in Hiin thereafter, how may he be received? Was the gift of tongues and prophesying then, or is it now, a necessary accompaniment of the baptism of the Holy Spirit? (See I Cor. 12: 4-11, 29, '30.) Is there anything necessarily implied in receiving the Holy Spirit, other than the constant realization that God dwells in us, to keep us holy, to guide us in all things, and to give, us necessary power and wisdom to cairv out God's purposes concerning us? ' Verse S—Why ought, or ought not, ' the pulpit now, as Paul did then, to j "dispute," or argue, and bring Jcon- | vincing proofs, compelling men's rea- | sons, by powerful evidence, of the truths of Christianity, and not be content with simple declamation, as is now so common?

The August Rod and Gun The holiday feeling pervading the land during the hottest month of the year is well represented in the August issue of Rod and Gun in Canada, published by W. J.

How the people in the Maritime provinces, known by reason of the sea breezes as the "Kingdom of Cooldom," enjoy the beautiful summer weather is told in a profusely Illustrated article. A delightful paper is "Still Hunting With a Camera;" while of equally absorbing interest is one on similar lines—"Shooting Wild Geese With a Kodak." To detail the list of good things would be to repeat the table of contents, but the article on Voracious Eaters hy Martin Hunter is worth attention from all sportsmen. The King of Furbearers is a story of a successful attempt at fox rearing for the sake of pelts. Bloodhounds and Trailing will appeal to all dog lovers, and Mr. Hartlett's paper on the Wolves follows up the interest created through the magazine in this important subject.
