The two great meetings recently held in Victoria, one a conference of the farmers themselves, and the other a meeting of the railway authorities and representatives of the farming interests, should be productive of considerable benefit to the whole agricultural community of British Columbia, and let us hope, of the Okanagan in particular. Grievances which have long been felt and privately discussed, have been • brought into the light, and though not all wrongs have been righted, yet much has been-achieved and more may be done when the' many important resolutions adopted have had time to bear fruit. Apart from the vexed question of freight' rates, the inequitable state' of which consti- ,. tute%. one, of the greatest - obstacles to the progress of the ■ fruit-growing industry in the "" Valley," perhaps the most important, matter which tKe recent ..conferences have emphasized 'is the "need of some more efficient method of handling and marketing the produce of the farmer, $nd ..particularly of the farmer in * small way.

Rolfe, painter, and Wm. Hambhn, general labourer, were charged at the Central . Criminal Court, with misappropriating money collected on behalf of deserving cases of men out of work. Rolfe, it was explained was the secretary and Hamblin. the organizer and treasurer of the Chelsea unemployed. They organized church parades and street parades. On Dec. 3 last, Rolfe and Hamblin paid a visit to the Rev. A. Fleming, minister of St. ColumbaY Church of Scotland, Pont Street, and asked if they might attend his church on the following Sunday and have a collection on behalf of the unemployed. This was agreed to and over £27 was realized. A great .part of this these two philanthropists put into their own pockets. Rolfe was sentenced to six months and Hamblin to three months hard labor. A number of cases of the exploiting of real, distress have been brought to light this winter. Public Rat Catchers.

The story of a daring escape_from Ode- off goal has reached St. Petersburg, the principals;." being'■• seven important male criminals and a' gipsy woman with her five months-old baby. They made a combined dash out of-their cells at dusk, disarmed and bound the watchman, and laying hands on six revolvers, two carbines, a sporting, gun, and three swords, forced an entrance into the quarters of the prison Inspector1 and Superintendent. Crying "Hands up I" they over-powered and bound fast all who were there, and then ransacked the premises, taking about £200 in cash and a quantity of valuables. They also supplied themselves with a stock of provisions. After exchanging their prison garb for clothing belonging to the inspector and other officials, they went to the prison church and stole the altar plate* and the valuable ikon frames. They were quite leisurely in their movements, as they knew that none of the officials were able to give the alarm. Four of the prisoners who escaped are local inhabitants; the others are peasants from different Governments. If you Want Your Jams to keep, they should be put up with All B. C.

On his arrest .the assassin.said, "I have fulfilled my mission." This naturally leads to the suspicion,that he is only one of a gang. This is the second murder committed in connection with the trial of 30 conspirators arrested in May last as the result of a discovery of explosives at Mackintollah. The same evening bombs were thrown at a suburban train containing Mr. Hume, the public prosecutor of Calcutta, but fortunately no one was injured. Honor- For Trade Union. Martyrs.

Upon motion of the resolution committee consisting <5f Messrs. Collins, Dilworth and Corbett, it was resolved that this bounty should be increased to $3 per head. G. Mathewson, of Okanagan, stated that he lost yearly through coyotes from 100 to 150 chickens; while he was prevented Many other matters, including the building of roads, government assistance in land clearing, etc., were dealt with. Mr. Matheson moved, seconded by Mr. Gillespie, that in view of the fact that the provincial government had during the past year advanced $1,000 to the B.

Grouse, quail, and prairie chickens were also destroyed, and even in the interests of game preservation it would pay the government to raise this particular bounty to $5 a head. Mr. Palmer—I may say for the information of the convention that during the year the government has paid out $12,573 in bounties upon wolves, panthers and coyotes. Upon motion of Mr., Heatherbell, of Metchosin, the government was cordially thanked for the increase of the bounty upon wolves from $7.50 to $15. Complaint was made that much of the trouble with the thistle pest was due to the unrestrained presence of thistles upon Indian Reserves, and it was urged that the Provincial Constables should be charged with the strict enforcement'of the law. Mr. Palmer observed that the department should be kept informed in respect to the non-enforcement of the Noxious Weeds Acts in the different parts of the province where this particular pest existed, and especially in the case of unorganized districts. Mr. Heatherbell, seconded by Mr. May, moved that the quality of the tree sprays which were upon the market should be brought within the duties of the govern, ment inspectors. The growth of good fruit, it was maintained, depended upon the careful spraying of the trees, and something should be done to improve the quality of the sprays. • The question of pumps too was raised, Mr. Curry ascribing much of the dissatisfaction- now felt in regard to spraying to the use of poor pumps. -' *' Mr. Gillespie, seconded by Mr. Matheson, urged a more rigid inspection of dairies generally and especially in cities where milk was sold for consumption by infants and others. Mr. Gillespie main- tained that greater care was required in seeing that the milking was properly done, and particularly in the case of smaller places, where onlythree or four cows were kept, as in such instances cows were altogether found too often to be in very filthy condition. ^Mr. V. D. Curry moved and Mr. John Dilworth seconded a resolution of approval of the principles of the water bill now before the legislature. r Mr. W. T. Abbott moved a resolution, seconded by Mr. John Dilworth, which was received with much applause, 4hat the Institute petition the provincial government to establish an agricultural college in British Columbia, including an experimental farm for practical instruction. .- . Mr. Dilworth moved that the open season for deer extend from Oct. 15th until the endoFNovron the"Mainiand,"and that" no person shall be allowed to kill more than three deer during one season. Mr. Dilworth also moved that the Department of Agriculture of B. C. impress upon the Dominion Government the necessity of more rigid inspection of fruit coming into this country, as well as into the Northwest. The following amendment to this motion waa afterwards carried: That the Central Institute approves of the action of the provincial inspectors in condemning fruits that have not, as regards the presence of fruit pests, come up to the requirements of the horticultural board. Another matter which created much interest had reference to the serious losses which were being incurred due to the lack of an efficient system of handling and marketing of produce. Mr. Scott, who has just returned from England, gave a brief account of the happy results which had attended upon the exhibition of British Columbia fjmit in Great Britain, including two medals at the Crystal Palace and gold medals at Bath, Leeds and Aberdeen. At the Royal Horticultural show their 366 boxes of fruit had occupied all of one end, and two sides of a very large hall, making the most magnificent exhibit that anyone could wish to see.' With regard to fruit packing, he advised the placing of a layer of corrugated paper upon all occasions between every row as well as at the top and bottom of each box. When fruit was packed in layers, one apple, etc., directly over another, And without corrugated paper between, it waa" always more or less bruised. While a great deal of this fruit was packed {nany' of the boxes had not been sufficiently full when tho lids were fastened down.

Conducted by the Ladies of the Kelowna branch of the W. C. T. U. He Knot... So on I go, not knowing; I would not if I might, I would rather walk in the dark with God Than go alone in the light. I would rather walk with Him by faith, Than walk alone by sight. My heart shrinks back from trials, Which the future may disclose; Yet I never had a sorrow, But what the dear Lord chose ; So I'll send the coming tears back With" the whispered word, "He knows." Prohibition Affecting The Liquor , Business. As has been expected, the sweep of Prohibition throughout theUnited'States is telling upon the business of the liquor manufacturers. The latest published reports from the United States Internal Revenue Department, show that lastyear there was a falling off in liquor production of 40,000,000 gallons. The excise interests, which, for a number of years had been steadily increasing, show a falling off of $15,928,296. Taking the common estimate, that the' consumer pays six times the amount charged for duty, it- will be found that this reduction means a saving to the nation of $95,629,376. It is not strange that along with this information comes the news of a decided increase in industrial activity all through the land. Money saved from liquor expenditure will assuredly find its way in such expenditures as well as promote general industry and benefit the public at large. The Narcotic Influence of Alcohol. Sir Victor Homely, the well-known English Physician, who visited Toronto at the time of the meeting of the British Medical Association, and gave a strong address during his stay there in favor of total abstinence, has been letting his voice be heard on a similar line whenever opportunity has occurred. Recently at the meeting "of the Norfolk united Council-he- asked the question, if there was any such thing as moderate drinking, and himself answered it with a decided negative. The so-called moderate drinker, he stated, was a drug-taker, and every time he took a drink he was really taking a sleeping draught. The nation spent he said, nearly one hundred and eighty million pounds, annually on sleeping draughts. Such a statement calls for serious consideration, coming as it does from one of the leading physicians of the Empire.

The neidkopf represeutb a hideous, iharpy faced woman with suukelike curls and tongue protruduifo In mocking derision. one. day some 200 years ago the legend runs, Frederick William* ol I'nissla, more familiarly known as Old Fritz, was walking about, tin streets of the city in the unconvenlioii ul way he affected when he chained to look through a window and observed ii hunchbacked goldsmith hard at work. The king entered the little shop fur a chat. .. The result of his interview was an order'for a gold table service for the royal household, an order that made the fortune of the hunchback Later his majesty made other visits to the shop to see how the work was advancing, aud on one of these occasions he observed,"a woman in the window ot the opposite hou&e contorting her race In the most hideous grimaces and pointing with derisive finger at tbe 'crippled workman To the king's query as to what ailed the old woman the goldsmith replied —It is envy,..sire. She is the wire ot 11 rival goldsmith, and ever since your majesty so graciously gave me this order she.and her daughter have reviled me"; Frederick William, paternal in punishment as well as In reward, at once investigated as to the ownership of the house In which the shrew lived He foiind that it belonged to her hii" band and therefore reasoned that there was 'little likelihood of the famil> moving, an idea tbat seemed greatly to please his majesty. His next move was to consult a scnlptor, whom he commanded to make the bust ot e woman '■ with the most shrewish, Xan tippe-like face he could Imagine The king then bought and, renovated the house in which the hunchback bad bis workshop, presented It to him and caused the. bust to be placed conspicu onsly above the workroom window Thus whenever the envious woman across the street looked forth from her casement the' first object on which her eyes fell was this intended portrait ot her amiable self. For more; than a hundred years the ne.idlf.0pt7-spiteful vixen head, as on<> would, say in English—stood in proud prominence, a reproach to the envious woman and her descendants. It afterward mysteriously disappeared, but in 1840 or thereabouto It was found in a forgotten ; collection of bric-a-brac Frederick William IV. bought the bust for a'large price and had It replaced in its original niche, where it stands today.'

( _„ - v»>The, question ,pf co-operative e_> ^changes" was' ,_lso discussed at length. f - Mr.-Proctor,-'of'-Nekon, .polce of the" necessity of cold storage plants for the 'marketing of fruit. iThe C.P.R."' miglJUaid? at :-tJ»e Am- Lception of, the ..idea.' , One cof the 'main reapQn$7o£ th>7fai)twej'p^ ««?• {cessfully marketing/fruit was be- storage plants where fruit could be unloaded and ,kept properly, and not not forced -on -' the market at any price the dealer1 would pay to prevent loss would solve the question Sf tnarketing ' the fruit He had noticed when_"travellirig between Moosejavv and Medicine Hat that'good fruit was sold in that vicinity and'found that it was kept until marketdd'iri' cold storage at Moosejaw: He'thought 'the cold storage proposition waa' one to be considered at'once, and the 'government might assist. " ' ' 'The competition of the Japanese, said Mr. Metcalfe, of Port Hammond, had been responsible for the'demoralization of the market for small fruits in the Northwest during the past year. The Japanese had come in growing numbers into the fruit business with regard to small fruits and had consigned their output to commission men at small prices,'often at 50 and 75 cents a crate, and the berries thrown on'the'market had a demoralizing effect on prices as far east as Winnipeg. He thought Ji the output of the Japanese could be controlled by the white people, it might improve the situa. Hon. Anyhow-the fruit' growers did not not want these foreigners coming in and destroying the country as a place for residence and business by white people. He suggested the organizationoHocal unions and the sending of 'travellers, whose ex. pences would more that be-covered by the losses sustained at present./ After some other speakers, some in favor of local unions with a governing board, the necessity of cold -storage and good handling. Mr. Pitcairn, of Kelowna, spoke for the individual^ grower, .who' worked independently. "J."Arnold, of Chilliwiiack, replied, saying that while the last speaker spoke of the';large grower the small shipper should be consided, and by his "shipping independently he often disorganized the market. Unless"banded to fix prices he thought, failure ^would result. Mr. Mackenzie, of Port Hammond, thought that if .a. mip was large enough, to work' independently it was'' better" to do so,1 otherwise membership in a local union waa best * f.s-~ \..-. ->.- ■. -- Several other resolutions followed, having for their object' the removing-of • the disadvahtages.under.which B. C. growers ._b6r_rcompet_ion with American fruit. The proper.marldng. and grading of fruit salso gave rise to some warm debate, as also the reintroduced question of tariffs and rates: " '» ' •,£■' ■ > '' ' -.In conclusion Mr. Lanigan said he would take home and consider a number of rate 'requests that had been made, and after a vote of thanks had been passed to the GP.R for.the-interest shown, in- organizing the " conferen*ce,"the" assemblage dispersed.

The * fame of Kelowno had become world-wide. , Funds''should be'at once raised for'-carry-' ;' ing on the good work which had been so ■ well begun/ - Other towns were awakening t to the importance of vigorous advertising. - Vernon, he, said, had asked the City Coun- 7cil for" a grant of $500 for this purpose; 'Revelstoke had applied for $1,000, and almost every city of British Columbia was Cushing on .with this work. Large num- era'of emigrants were now coming west, and hundreds of people were travelling . west, and the board ought to get busy in ' order to take advantage of this. In addition to a booklet, he suggested that slips .: might be got out relating to various branches : of fruit growing and placed in every box that goes out. - • ■ - :■* a Mr. Kerr thought that care should be taken in distributing booklets, not to throw : them broadcast to people who do not want them. ■ He.suggested.that someone should • be paid to write short articles for the papers and accompany them-with photographs. This would do much good. There were many farming papers in Canada and'the States with large* circulations, ^ who would accept such articles, and the readers of these papers were just the peo- ' pie they wanted to reach. They could , thus reach a .much larger population that way and for a much smaller sum of money. ' Mr. DeHart was of opinion that better ' results could be had from placing the fruit ■itself befpre^the public, than by the issue of expensive booklets, though some sort of small books were necessary to answer enquiries instead of writing letters. It was then moved and seconded that the publication committee get someone to send short articles and cuts to various '< magaianes.*, A ' A; littler tangled discussion followed about the'amount of money to be appropriated for advertising, and it was finally decided ,the board to give the Publicity Committee $250 to be applied to advertising purposes. Mr. Sutherland proposed, and Mr. Speers ' seconded, that the Board of Trade wait upon the City Council and ask for a grant for the purpose of advertising the city. On the motion of Mr. Dilworth a vote '■ of thanks was given to Mr. Stirling for his report ' Mr. Elliott thought the C.P.R. had been ' very dilatory In respect to their works , in the City of Kelowna, and suggested that a committee be appointed to go into the matter and see if nothing could be done to assist the railway company by improv. ing the site and if necessary buying the land and presenting it to them. The urgency.! of the matter was fully recognized, and a'committee consisting of ' Messrs. Sutherland, Stirling and Dilworth' .were appointed/,,to','join' with, the City Council in .an endeavour to press the >matter forward.-7-,>, Mr. Stirling moved that the secretary of the Associated Boards of *■ Trade be approached calling for concerted of all ,boards in,the Valley.in establishing a ''bureau of "information at the Alaska- ' Yukon-Pacific, Exposition. •• ' Mr. Moncton, civil engineer, was elected 'a ^member,.^lifter which the meeting adjourned. Baseball Players Call Meeting The season for that popular pastime which made a decided hit with all lovers of clean sport in this city last year is at hand, and the opening game, is being eagerly anticipated. The prospects of a fast team are exceedingly bright as eight of last year's team with an abundance of newv material will report for practice on Thursday afternoon of April I st. 7 H. Paul catcher, A. Coe 1st Base, C. Jamieson 2nd Base, T. Treadgold 3rd Base, J. Pettigrew and L. McMillan outfielders, Moulton short stop and Eastman pitcher, are the old players who will report. Paul, the youngster whose catching was the sensation of last year's play has taken on considerable weight and with improved batting ability will prove invaluable. Coe's work.while never of the spectacular sort, was always reliable and possessed that "never'quit" spirit which, above all other qualities, wins games. Jamieson _ work at second was ofthe same variety and he will play a much faster game this season, as his arm which was broken last year is again in shape. Treadgold, at third, is expected to play a faster game this season as his playing indicated that the latter part of last season. McMillan who had his first experience last season will be one of the fastest outfielders in the Valley this year. Pettigrew, who was undoubtedly the fastest fielding outfielder in the league last year but who failed to bat to form will spend all his efforts to correct that fault and coupled with his fleetness on the bases certainly would be a run getter. Moulton, who was said by all to be the fastest fielding infielder in the league, but who failed to bat as expected will return from California and his service will be a big factor in winning games. MayofR R. E. DeHart will be the President of the organization this year and if Mr. C. C. Josselyn can be induced to retain the management the prospects will be exceedingly good. Financially the club is in a first class shape, as it has nearly four hundred dollars worth of the very best material and is the best equipped club in the Valley. This is all on the credit side as' the club owes no bills. Great credit is due Mr. Josselyn for the financial standing for this is the first athletic club in the city with a large balance to their credit at the end of the season, which shows the result of wise and careful management. A-meeting of last years players will be held on Tuesday evening of March 16th, at 6 p.m., in Josselyn's store to elect officers for the ensuing year. ' Mr. j. W.
