THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1918.-4 PACES 1.50 Per Annum Want Sewer and Trackage For New Cannery Revision in Wage Schedule For City Employees At tha council meeting Monday evening Mr. Leopold Hayes, manager of the Occidental Fruit Co., was present in connection with the new cannery which the company propose erecting. Mr. Hayea ��� said that negotiations were'jn progress (or the erection of a large new building adjoining their present warehouse, to"-be fused as a cannery and pickle factory. As this would mean a conaiderable addition to the cityVindustrial resources and payroll,j,he'wi*hed to ascertain whether the city bad any concessions to offer in the way of exemption from taxation or other inducements to new industries. It waa the desire to locate thia factory in Kelowna if circumstrncea were favorable. He also wished to know whether the company could be assured of connection ot connection with the: sewerage ayatem, and trackage facilities on the lane to the rear of the lota upon which option! had been secured. In regard to the matter ot [tax.:? the Mayor pointed out that the Municipal Act prohibited the giving of arte!, concessions to any business which would enter into competition with an existing business in the same line.. The city welcomed the proposal to establish such- a new plant, and would give every assistance and encouragement in its power. It was not considered that there would be much, difficulty about trackage facilities on the lane mentioned, but the consent of all the ownera concerned must first be obtained. It waa stated that sewerage connection to the present cannery and evaporator consisted of a four-inch wood pipe laid to the nearest sewer manhole, the contour of the gronnd necessitating pumping the waste by the firms concerned. Ability to connect with this pipe would depend upon whether it waa of large enough capacity to serve the three plants, and it waa left with the committee to inquire into this. A licence to install two pool tablea in the former bar of the Lakeview Hotel was given to Mr. H. Johnston. Authority was given for the eity to maintain the telephone in the home of Driver Nash of the Fire Brigade. The city's application for a line of credit up to $40,000 to the Bank of Montreal waa granted subject to an increase in the interest rate from 6 to 7 per cent. The increase, the uanager'a letter stated waa due to the great demands for money being made all over Canada for war purposes. A committee which had been considering several applications from members of the city staff for increase of salaries, submitted the following revised schedule which was passed without discussion :- J.

Meikle brought up a discussion in connection with the welcoming of returned soldiers, and advocated the provision of a room where a returned man could find temporary accommodation in the event of hia having nowhere else to go. He believed the expense could easily be raised by Must Go to Jail or Join the Army Theft of Hay Lands Young Man Into Trouble Theft of a load of hay to supply his own deficiences in the matter of feed has landed Nelson Haynes a young Benvoulin farmer into a complication of troubles, and he is at present in jail at Vernon pending a decision as to. whether he shall serve the two months to which he waa sentenced for his offence, or escape it by waiving his claim) to exemption under the Military Service Act and joining the army at once. Late on Saturday night last he was noticed taking a load of-hay from a field on the Vernon road belonging to Mr. Archie Hardy. A neighbor suspicious that all was not right telephoned Mr. Hardy and was informed that the hay belonged to Messrs. Archie Johnson and A. R. Davy. , On being questioned Haynea claimed to have got permission to take the hay, but later took the load back and threw it off hia wagon again. Meantime provincial constable Graham had been informed and on hia arrival he took Haynes into custody. On Monday morning Haynes came up before Magistrate Weddell .and a clear case of theft having been made out he waa sentenced to two months imprisonment. He was taken up to Vernon Tuesday, which was also' the day on which he was scheduled to appear before the Exemption tribunal. On his appearance before the judge he undertook to withdraw hia appeal for exemption, the understand- ind being that he ahould join the forces instead of going to jail. The matter however is one which must first be laid before the minister of justice, and his ruling is awaited. Ship in Pure Bred Holsteins A shipment of fine pure-bred Holstein dairy cattle tor the K.L.O. company's ranch came in Monday from the coast in charge of Mr. M. Hereron. There were in all six cows and a bull. The cows which were all splendid pedigree stock were from the Cowichan farm of A. E. Bishop. They had cost from $350 to$500 each.and are amongst the best dairy stock in the province. From this excellent nucleus the company is aiming to build up a herd equal to anything in the west. The bul| was a young seven months oldaristociat from the government's Colony farm at Easondale,' a farm which has earned a great name for the production ot high-grade stock. He is guaranteed to be a gem of the first water, and the bluest blood to be obtained. Mr. Hereron also purchased some young calves for his own place, in. eluding a fine little pure-bred bull calf. Stock of this quality is verv welcome to Kelowna, and it is hoped that more dairy-men will follow suit,' until the breed of cattle ia put on a much higher standard. A wedding took place at the parsonage yesterday, the contracting parties being Gordon Bennett King, of Kelowna, and Miss Alice Myr>le Sheipenlib, of Spokane, Washington. The Rev. D. C. Braden officiated, the groom being attended by Mr. W. J. Tucker, and the bride by Mra. M. J. King (mother of the bridegroom). The couple are to take up residence on Ellis street. public subscription or by some entertainment, if the council took the lead. The idea waa favorably received and the Returned Soldiers' committee waa charged with the duty of making inquiries as to rooms available and the cost of furnishing. Government Will Help to improve Mission Creek Many Important Matters Discussed by Board of Trade The dangerous condition of Mission Creek due to the silting up of the' mouth with gravel washed down from above, and the consequent liability of aerious floods at high water waa again the subject of discussion at the meeting of the Board of Trade Tuesday evening. The unsuccessful efforts of the Board to impress the authorities at Victoria with the gravity of the situation, and to authorize engineer Davis who was recently in the district to make an inspection and report has already been, mentioned. Mr. L. E. Taylor told -of the experiences of a delegation consisting of Messrs. Benson, Casorso, Hereron, J. W. Jones, M.P.P., and himself, which laat week had waited upon the minister of public works and chief road engineer Foreman in reference to the mat- tei. They had urged the necessity of something being done in the next two or three weeks if disastrous floods were to be avoided. A promise had been extracted to wire the diatrict road superintendent to make an investigation, but the government apparently took the position that the only work they could do was to protect the roads and bridges, and that expenditures could not be made to protect private property. " Thev were, however, willing to cooperate with interested parties in a general scheme by contributing up to $1,500 or $2,000, if those whose lands were affected would put up' an equal amount. Mr. Benson, it was stated, was the same evening holding a meeting at Benvoulin - to see what could be done in this direction. * A vote of thanks was passed to the members of the delegation for their efforts, and it was arranged that further action should be taken as soon as the reault of the Benvoulin meeting was known. Another matter which came up before the attention of the Board was the proposal to' move the ferry wharf on the west side further south to Siwash Point, the latter being a much better place for landing in rough weather. This change for which it appears the government is making ah appropriation, has raised a storm of protest from those residents north of the wharf who will be under the necessity of making a long roundabout journey to get to the new whrrf. A petition against it had been circulated and widely signed, and forwarded to the Board. During the past week the transportation committee of the Board had crossed the lake with Mr. Havman to make a personal inspection. As a result of this visit they submitted a report which stated that although the new site had undoubtedly many advantages over the old wharf they recommended that no change be made owing to the great inconvenience which would be caused to residents to the north. They considered that if the present wharf were extended to deep water and protected by planking down one side it would obviate most of the difficulty of landing. Mr. Hayman, owner of the ferry, did not think this would meet the difficulty, as autos., which formed the greater part of the traffic, could not be loaded and unloaded at the old wharf in rough weather. A suggestion was made that a road along the lake side, from the old to the new wharf would satisfy the residents to the north, as this would only lengthen their journey b> three quarters- of a mile of level road, and render it unnecessary for them to climb the hill. Mr. Rogers pointed out that as provision had been made on the estimates for the new wharf, if it were opposed now the result would be that nothing would be done. He therefoie considered it better to reject the recommendation of the committee and support the scheme of changing the wharf, asking at the same time for the ahort stretch of road along the shore to be built. After discussion this was eventually the course decided upon. local Patriotic fund Issues Statement List of Subscriptions During Past Five Months bi connection with the following list of subscriptions to the local branch of the Canadian Patriotic Fund a statement of receipta and disbursements is also given by the secretary, Mr. J. R, Beale. Donations and subscriptions during the five months amounted to $1909.68 and tlie balance in hand August 1st 1917 was $560.95. There have been received during the five months cheques for dependents amounting to $6,605.99. The general expenses of the branch during the same period were $34.60, and there was cash on hand Dec. 31 st $503.03 The salary of the secretary-treasurer, being paid by the city council, is not entered above. The amount awarded in 191 7 was $440. Recently, a few business men, who desire no public acknowledgment, have voluntarily raised an additional $10 per month, to come into effect aa from let November last. The total remuneration from all sources, for services rendered to date, therefore, amounts to $460. Kelowna has received from the provincial branch of the C.P.F. to date $30,373.97, of which $382.65 has been returned. Since the local branch commenced operations it has raised $8,685.97, of which $5,094.11 was collected during 1917. The ratio of money given to that received shows a substantial improvement over the previous period, it having increased from 25 to 36 per cent. The number of beneficiaries is 203, of whom 138 are children. The average monthly grant per family of 3.12 individuals is $ 19.61 which compares favorably with the'$21 quoted by the provincial secretary recently as being the general average for British Columbia.

At its meeting in.the schoolhouse Monday evening, the whole subject was debated at conaiderable length, arid in addition to endorsing a resolution d signing a petition on the same subject from the Cowichan Ratepayers Association, a strong resolution of their own, backed by telling local examples of the hardship of the present taxes was prepared for the government's attention. The resolution, in asking for immediate relief from the burden, pointed out that the tax was pressing so hardly in Rutland that many of the farmers had left or were only waiting for an opportunity to sell at a sacrifice in order to escape the excessive taxation. As an example it was stated that there was in the district a small ranch of 7i acres that in 1915 paid $10 land tax. In 1917 this was raised to $25 notwithstanding the ranch had lost 90 per cent, of the bearing orchard in the severe weather two years ago and only realized about $200 last year, out of which must be paid $25 land tax, $13.13 school tax and $22.50 water rate, making a total of $60.83 per year on 7J acres. The owner is in France, leaving his wife, fi ur small children and mother to meet this oppressive taxation. The next ranch, 1\ acres, has had the tax raised from $7 to $25, although it suffered a loss of more ihan one-third of its fruit trees two years ago. The owner, whose wife is a qualified nurse, added a small room to the house for the convenience of her country patients, so that she might be enabled to make a living while the young trees came into bearing. The government immediately raised the assessment $500 although the room did not cost $200. It was further pointed out that when the war broke out this district-gave of its men right royally, with the result that many r'anchea are without help and when the government called for greater production, everybody responded, the v.-omen putting on their absentees' clothes in the season and working from daylight till dark. They produced the crop alright but a great part of it lies to-day in piles or rotting in the city warehouses, there being no market for it. And further, owing to the dry season and the irrigation water giving out last summer, many renchers only produced half a crop and some not so much. Yet in face of all these drawbacks and disappointmenta the government increased taxation by over 150 per cent, in many cases. A further resolution, urging the completion of the Kamloopa-Kel owna railway line was passed and it was arranged that copies be sent to the other locals for their support in bringing the matter again to the attention of the Min isfer of Railways. . The Miniater of Public Worki was also urged to instruct the road foremen to take steps to improve the road from Renfrew's corner to Bailee's as it was almost impassable during a great part of the vear. Returning Soldiers D'Arcy Hinckson, Cyril Weddell, Roy Fallis and J. Fisher Are Latest Arrivals Monday afternoon a party of three of Kelowna's soldiers returned from service overseas, and were given a hearty welcome at the wharf by a crowd which had assembled following the signal blasts of the boat and power house whistles. The arrival of the three men, J. T. Fisher, Roy Fallis and D'Arcy Hickson was not unexpected, announcement having been made aome days ago that they were on their way west. Pte. Fisher went over about a a year ago with a Forestry battalion but was unlucky enough soon after arrival in England to meet with an accident, falling into a trench in the dark and injuring his arm. Though now almost recovered his injury kept him from going over to France and eventually brought about hia return to Canada. Roy Fallis alao found himself unfit to fulfil the service for which he enlisted. Fallis went overseas with the Western Irish from Vancouver, but soon after his arrival was laid up in hospital with pleurisy the after effects of an attack of pneumonia some time ago. Though he made several attempts to get the necessary nedical certificate to enable him to cross to France, he was unable to do so, and was finally advised to return home. It is likely he will get his discharge in due Course. D'Arcy Hinckson, however, has seen the real thing and returns a battle scarred hero, with recollections of some strenuous service. The famous Vimy Ridge fight saw him up in the fron* line, and he went "over the top" with the rest in the capture of that place. Shortly afterwards he waa gassed; and that and an attack of "trench feet" have kept him in hospital most of the time since. He has to report to Vancouver in the next few days for further medical treatment. On Wednesday the thrilling note of the whistles again announced a returned soldier. This time it turned out to be Cyril Weddell a aon Magistrate Weddell- Cyril too has been through the mill and ia still limping from the effects of a shrapnel wound in the khee. He went from Kelowna with the 172nd but was transferred to a Highland regiment which was in aome of .the worst fighting. (Oisllisil oa Pons U R. C. Treherne, Dominion entO' mologist for B.C., who has done such effective work in connection with stamping out the codling moth in northern Okanagan, intends to transfer his office from Vancouver to this valley. The reason tor the change is that the official's work takes him to the Okanagan most of the time, and as the chief fruit and agricultural production of the province is centred here, it is believed that time would be saved were hia office to be established in the valley. Arranging (or Women and Ciri Helpers Miss Perry Here on Behalf of Y. W. C. A. Miss C. M. Perry, national service secretary of the Y.W.C.A. at the coast, who has taken over the work of providing women and girls to assist in the agricultural work of the province, addressed a meeting in the Board of Trade room this afternoon. The meeting waa attended by representative fruit growers, packers, canners, etc., likely to be in need of this kind of help during the coming aeason. Miss Perry asserts that there will be no difficulty in procuring 2000 or more helpers this season, and desired full particulars. from here of the number required, accommodation available, when needed, and how long. It was arranged that a committee consisting of J. E. Reekie, Mayor Sutherland, E. L. Cros., E. M. Carruthers, H. C. S. Collett. t. E. Taylor. W. B. M. Cat- der, C. H. Bond, P. A. Lewis, P. Casorso, acting with the Kelowna . and [Rutland Women's Institutes collect the necessary informations and that this be laid before Miss Perry upon her return visit which she proposes to make shortly.

This was not so eagerly responded to as might be expected from the scouts whote motto is "Be Prepared," but nevertheless everybody was up at last and the work of the day proceeded The tent inspection wat won this day by the Beavers, the Wolves being second. In the morning most of the troop explored Cedar Creek for about three-quarters of a mile and re. turned in an hour perspiring freely and feeling utterly miserable. In the afternoon we played a scout game called "Flag Reading," which lasted an hour, the Otters and Beavers ultimately winning, Aftet thia the usual events followed till bed-time, including the camp fire, the yarn at which was supplied by the Beavert and waa greeted by loud bursts of applause. " Lights out" was sounded at 9.15 at utual nd the guards were the Otters. They were called in at 9.45 p.m. The mail and provisions were brought in Mr. DuMoulin's car, including visitors. Friday.���Reveille was sounded at the usual time and. in the tent inspection which followed breakfast the Otters won, closely followed by the Beavers.' The usual routine of the da> followed including semaphore competition, which the Wolves' would have won if they had not been beaten by the Beavers. A wind storm broke out in the afternoon and lasted till the evening but in spite of this there was a camp fire minus the fire, and afterwards a night game. "Lights out" waa called at 9.30. The Eaglet were guarda for the day. The good-eats and mail were brought by Mr. Rowcliffe in his.fi Saturday. ��� Reveille 6.30 and usual routine. Rehearsed " the march past for the service to-morrow.

In turning the wagon on the ground behind Chamber- lin'a blacksmith shop the projecting corner of the rack happened to touch one of the horses, giving it a scare which started both animals on a wild run. Ralph was dragged from his seat and fell in (ront of the wagon the wheels of which passed over his legs, happily without doing any serious damage. Coming round into the main street the team continued at full speed being finally stopped near Trench's store, where some damage wr-s done to a buggy standing there. Mr. C. H, Barrington was a visitor to* Summerland and Naramata during the week. The weather (or the past (ew weeks seems to have been a regular swing of the pendulum (rom gentle spring to real winter. Just now, after a spell of warm weather which almost made the sap rise in the trees, we are back again into the stoking business, man's principal occupation being putting wood in the stove. In a few days, perhaps, fur coats and ear warmers will again disappear. Notice is called to the (act that Pro(.

Brent Retires From the Exchange The retirement of Mr. W. D. Brent from the position of manager of the Kelowna Growers' Exchange is announced this week. Mr. Brent leaves in the course of three or four weeks for New York in the interests of a western manufacturing company having mills in Canada and the United States. He expects to return to the coast after a few months in the east. Mr. Brent came to Kelowna in 1911 as secretary of the old Farm- era' Exchange, and has been manager ot its successor, the Kelowna Growers' Exchange, since the spring of 1914. The position of manager of a co-operative fruit shipping concern of this kind, and especially during the earlier and difficult stages, is admittedly no sinecure and Mr. Brent in his handling of the concern has shown executive ability of no mean order. Hia loss to the company will be keenly felt. Mr. Brent believes that the prospects look bright for both the Exchange I and its growers, and that plans now being consummated and shortly to he announced, will result in great benefit to the fruit indus try in the district. Mr. Brent's successor has not yet been appointed.

GALBRAITH Plumber and Steam Fitter Schoolboy's Idea of the Land 0' Cakes A wiiter in the World quotes the following essay, supposed to have been written by an Australian schoolboy : "Scotland is a braw w��e land on the north of England. It hat water nearly all round it, and whitky over a large part The population is about four and a half millions, including Mr. Andrew Carnegie. It has a peculiar language of its own and if one can pronounce it coherently it is an infallible test of sobriety. It possesses considerable wealth, but very little of it finds its way out of the country. Cold has at times been discovered in certain districts as well as in the pockets of certain natives, but in both cases it hat been hard to work. The best known exports of Scotland are Harry Lauder and Scotch whisky, though sufficient of the latter is retained in the home country to satisfy the demands of home consumption. "The national dress of Scotland is the kilt, which is a kind of short petticoat. In pattern it resembles a chessboard, though in cold weather the wearer finds it more like a draft board. It is believed to have invented because the aborigines were un- able to find trousers big enough to get their feet through. Bagpipes provide the chief music of the country. It is a wind instrument which is said, when blown, to produce a tune. On many occasions in the history of war the Scotch regiments have marched to death listening to the strains ofthe bagpipes, though it is not known whether their willingness to meet the former was inspired by their desire to escape from the latter. Scotland has produced many great men among them being Robert Burns, believed to have been a poet. It is usually denied that he was born in Battersea. HU most famous poems are 'Scots Who Have' and 'Stop Your Tickling Jock.' The chief national characteristic is reckless expenditure." Government Will Help Improve Mission Creek {ConHnued Irom Pan 1.)

He stated that a letter had been sent pointing out that some months ago the merchants had been going Into ttys question of delivery, and that while the total coat to the merchants some months ago had been estimated at $10,000, this by co-operation and greater care had been cut in half, and would no doubt be still further reduced. They did not think it would be possible to make.the drastic change recommended by the Institute. To their knowledge no city in Canada United States or Great Britain had tried to do without deliveries. People hed become accustomed to delivery and to credit business, and it wa. not possible to eliminate either without very careful consideration. Another point was that owing to the war many households in the city were without their men folk, to look after the carrying of good, from the stores, and no one would wish et the present time to impose further hardships upon such. Mr. McKenzie considered that the discussion of the aubject had done good and that people were less apt to abuse the system. He suggested thet the government might possibly take action to restrict deliveries ae a war measure, and in that case the merchants would have no option. A reply from the Post office authorities regerding the request for a larger mail box on the wharf stated thet if the box were used for the purpose for which it was in. tended, namely, for letter, too Lie to get into the poat office in time to catch the boat it would be quite Urge enough.
