City Council Meeting
Mr. Forde, Representing C.P.R. Waits on Council  - Extension
of Water System up Bernard Avenue Asked For' - Fire
Alarm Signals - Street Names.
The meeting of the' City Council
was held in the council .chamber.
Much and varied business' being
discussed. The Mayor and' all the
aldermen" were present, bujt alder-
' man Bailey left soon after the start
of the meeting.
The'minut-8- of the last meeting
were read and adopted.
A letter from an adveitising firm
was passed over to Mr. G. Rose to
,be turned  over 'to  the Board  of
Trade.
' The city clerk remarked that Mr.
Biggar had made application for
the return of his cheque for $200
left as security when tendering for
the building of the Power , House.
A motion was put forward that
the city clerk have power to do
this. *-
From a report from the committee it was agreed that the plans
submitted by Mr." J. W. Jones for
Mr. Middleton be passed,' (this
was the plan of sub-division of lot
,34, left at last meeting).
'Maypr DeHart wished to inform
the   council   thatr the~ agreement
between ' the   .quatic Association
and the council,'for a  lease  of a
portion of the lake 'shore in  the
-   park had been agreed and signed.
.Mr. Forde frorft  Revelstoke, on
- behalf   of   the ' Canadian < Pacific
Railway, < submitted z plans of the
, proposed correction of ^roads' and
< ' the installing of a new\li_e from
-the;whar_ >.--..-_ .:*<- &*§a*_C-
Mr. Forde in reply td"-a query, rtfc;
markedthat assoon as an agree-
.ment could'" be1--made   with   the
council'the work would be put in
hand, the  lumber required could
be obtained_ocalIyy,and a gang of
pile drivers had-already been engaged. ' *
'As a speedy answer was   required to Mr. Forde.  project on
behalf of die C.P.R.,  the council
agreed to place the agreement and
documents' in the hands of Mn
Burne and to call a special meeting
for eleven on i Tuesday morning.
vThe lease for .he land .granted
>' to the Agricultura-'and Trades Association was next read1 and  approved by the  council, it being
agreed to  lease the land in  the
^park opposite Lum Lock's premises for the 'yearly rental^ sum of
five dollars, and in consideration
the council to take over the deeds
of the A. 8cT. _ present. grounds.
Some   little    misunderstanding
had occurred about the removal of
the bar which comes from the top
 post to. the «td<» wallt^railo on Pen.
dozi Street bridge. Ts'i % ''
• ,Mr.. Bailey <r)thoiteht.__r. Elliott
had die matter in hand'/and' vice
versa'. The matter was finally left
in Mr. EUliott's hands to Have fixed.
~ ^Me^srs. Raymer)' Lawson and
Leckie attepded.>on the council to
ask for water /up j as' far'as Mr.
Leckie _ house '/on Bernard Avenue. (Mr. Royrter, explained that
the ' people^ dlonar; this street so
wanted water, that ihiy would be
willing to pay extra in' order to get
it.'' He thought that a, system of
putting in wooden pipes was advisable as it would come cheaper.
Mr. Elliott said he was thinking
of bringing the 'matter; up that
' night and would use his best endeavours to get it through.'
Mr. Leckielendoi-edvMr. Raymer's statement and said the water
would be used' for irrigation' and
paid fo_~< He would pay anything
to have lake water'sb'oneV than
alkali well water.When questioned
about irrigation, Mr. 'Leckie
meant watering the lawn, etc., for
. which extra would be charged.
, Aid. Elliott did not think there
was enoughvpower to allow th<5
water-being/pumped ';»6 far,' and
thought nothing ,could be done
until a system',bf-reservoirs was
, decided on.      '».,"■', .     ' .
, Mayor DeHart iepticd that the
power was sufficient to supply the
whole town. v The pump was capable of .pinnping 1100 gallons a
minute and'h« thought it would be
some time 'before . the .town was
ask
The matter was left with the
idea of taking it up again later in
the evening. r
Mr. Blackwood attended to
permission to place a covered
flume across corner Bernard Avenue, so as to" obtain water for
irrigation purposes. t Mayor De-
Hart did not think there was any
rea-on why this' should not be
done.
"Mr. Raymer remarked on the
Severing of flumes, and said that
at the corner of the Presbyterian
church he had seen children lift
up a loose board and poke their
heads down. This loose board
ought to be fixed, as it was a danger to small children. The matter
was left in the bands of the Board
of Works. ,
Mr.' Samson was present and
stated that he did not think the
proposed system of fire alarms at
all adequate, perhaps five minutes
would be gone before the locality
of the fire was known at the power
house and this meant a serious delay. He would';1 suggest placing
gongs to ring at. the place where
the alarm is given. He also asked
the council to- have the road' in
front of the Fire Hall door fixed
so that it would be easier for running  out  the  fire  hose.     It was
using that quantity of water,,'
•f
S<-,
7
proper boarded run - placed, so as
to adjust this matter. 7
' Mrr Samson- -alsor- asked-tha^a
new. hook and ladder be bought, as
some of the, members of the brigade did not like the idea of Vernon's discarded goods. ., '
Aid. Elliott pointed out that' the
trolley if bough, from Vernon and
patched up with new wheels would
do~well enough for two or three
years. The council figured on
getting a new ladder, but would
sooner see some more hose got
before an exorbitant price was
paid on the whole new outfit.
It was left with Aid. Elliott to
look over the ladder'truck again
and report at next meetiug.,
Mr. Sampson also asked for a
room for the use of 'the' brigade
and also for sleeping accommodation for himself, he did not consider the present room advisable
as meeting8.were to be held in-> it
and in those cases it t was impossible to keep it clean. Mr. Hidsbn
had told him he would give up
his room and he wished to ask,the
council to make some arrangement
The Mayor thought it best to
leave the_-vhQ!e__matter in_±ihs-
hands of the Fire and Water Committee and asked that the ladder
be got as soon as possible.
Mr. Elliott reported that he had
made out a schedule of charges
for water as follows, at the      ..>
Lake View Hotel, $13 00 a month
Palace.Hotel
Royal Hotel
Bank of Montreal
Buckland
Crowley
Mcjannett
J. Bouch   -  '.
W. A. Hunter
f -Also 12 othe/ houses at $1.25 a
month.   v
r> He strongly urged the putting
in of a thorough-water system as
it would be a' sourceVof revenue to
the city. ,«    ^ ' \  : ■> ,[   ^
The cost of pipes and laying
down of pipes was largely gone
into. Mr/'Elliott remarking that a
water system was greatly needed
in Pendozi Street. ^
Aid. Ball was of the opinion
that it would be best to extend the
water system down the main streets'
as then fire hydrants could , be
put in.
' ' Mayor DeHart suggested that as
the council had not the money to
invest in a water system at present,
and the assessment this year would
be \ety little-' more than - last' year
owing to property in parts having
dropped in value, that it would be
well to borrow the money on the
local , improvements system and
then 'those «that wanted water
could -thave  it,  payment) to  be
spread over 20 or 30 years. ' The
question was left in the hands of
Aid. Elliott.
Mayor DeHart wished to point
out to the council that the plans
of the new Cannery on Manhattan
Beach were on view and that tenders had to be sent in by the 26th
of April, the building to be completed by June 1st, 1909.
Aid. Cox on behalf of the health
committee wished to know what
steps the council had decided on
with reference to the cleaning of
the canneries, last year the refuse
could not be carried away fast
enough.
Aid. Elliott remarked that' as
soon as the water system was put
in it would make a difference, as
the canneries' would be able to
thoroughly flush out their premises.
Aid. Cox also wished to know if
any of the council had seen the
plans of Raymer's building. There
must be new plans to those submitted, for he was certain, the
gallery of the Opera Honse was
not marked in the original plan.
Discussion also arose as to the stage
roof being of wood. Aid. Cox did
not wish to put anything in Mr.
Raymer's way, and did not profess
to know much about stage equipment, but thought the council
ought to approach Mr. Raymer "on
the subject, and ask him to -submit
fresh plans.
Aid. Cox also wished to bring
before the council the advisability
of putting up the' names bf streets,
at street corners.  . ■.     ,. /
Mayor DeHart was of ,'th^opiri-
ion that where concrete sidewalks
wer<&_aid down, the name Was
belter placed in the sidewalk.    H
Jubilee Singers at
the Methodist Church
agreed by the council  to  have Kt^edlioweveV to"see .changV"'
street names very soon, and
thought the change to first street,
second 'street,' first' avenue, second
avenue.     - - '. '   -
Aid..Elliott wished to point out
that Pendoii Street was badly in
need of widening, as it had practically become a main street/ He
was quite willing to allow 20 or 15
feet being taken off his frontage
for a consideration to be left in the
hands of arbitrators. '
4 Mayor DeHart did not see .the
necessity pf widening this street,
as before long Richter Street would
run right'through W. C. Cameron's
place and make a straight road on
the way to South Okanagan, this
would greatly relieve the traffic on
Pendozi Street.
,The question ofvplantiiig tree-
was was next taken up, Mayor
'DeHart having promised 150 elm
trees at last council meeting. It
was agreed to accept the gift, and
to tender a vote of thanks to the
Mayor for having presented the
trees to the city.
The matter was left in the hands

Owing perhaps to the inclemency of the weather, the Methodist
Church was not so' well filled as
might be, on the occasion of the
Jubilee singer's visit to this town.
Those who had the good luck to
be present were supplied with a
fine performance of choral and
vocal talent. The performers who
belong to the darkie tribe sing
every word in English that could
not be questioned as to its meaning, by the most learned linguist,
and among the various numbers
many could be picked out with
little difficulty as wbrthy of an
encore. >
"School Days" sung by Miss Pitts
was a decided feature, while Mrs.
Williams scored a success with
"Just Because I'se Black." He'r voice
was full of tone and expression,
and one rarely met .with. Miss
Green sang a catch song that was
received with great appreciation
by the audience, the way she holds
her high notes is a marvel. Mr.
Garbbe who is the Basso Profondo
of the troupe gave a rendering of
the well-known song "Asleep in
the Deep?' to be followed immediately with "Rocked in the Cradle
of the Deep," in a manner highly
creditable. The choruses were
fine, and "Seeing Things at Night,"
was not"to be excelled. Choruses
of a comic description were sung
by the male chorus, "Who built
the Ark," being a memorable feature. "■ The ■ evening finished * up
with 'Thef boys are Singing," a
,choral selection that showed off
the Various vocalists to, perfection.
• The smgers are"o"n their way to
the old country, and will leave us
to give the old folks at home a
chance of hearing what We have
heard,       \   "

Sad Death at Westbank
The sad death occurred last Saturday at the age of 29, of Mr, J. .S
Nichbll, of West Bank The cause
of death, being typhoid fever, contracted on the prairie, at Yellow
Grass, Saskatchewan. The illness
set in" several days before Dr.

A full attendance of the City
Council was present to meet Mr. J.
P. Forde, who is acting on behalf
of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Mr. Forde asked that permission
be granted to start a transfer apron,
tracks, and wharf, also that to do
this it was necessary to close the
lower portion of Water Street, and
wished to know if the council
would agree to this being done.
Mayor DeHart was of the opinion
that the council' was quite willing
to do all in its power to force on
proceedings, but would ask the
opinion of the city solicitor.,
Mr. J. F. Bu<-" * v»r present, and
had carefully"gone-u..^ the plans
and agreement, and remarked that
it would' be beyond the council's
jurisdiction to order a certain street
to be closed, without getting a _ye-
law made and a vote taken from
the people. Mr. Forde pointed
out that the proposed closing of
the^ lower, part of" Water Street
would be benefitted by "the' opening of another portion to run parallel this would strengthen the pre-
sent^breet. t _ The. agreement^ was
read "'-piece* by"*piece/ and" sevefal
amendments made. Mr. Forde remarked .hat the proposed, start
was from the. East' boundary of
Water Street, and the north boundary of Smith Avenue, thence parallel in the same direction as Water
Street, thence in a northerly direction to the East border of Water
Street, thence westerly at right
angles to the boundary of the Okanagan Lake: Mayor DeHart said
that it was the wish of many
people that this warehouse and
goods shed be started and he
would like to urge on the work
but it was a case of being legally
bound to pass a by-law, and the
council could take no further steps
until the by-law was passed by the
people. There was very little
chance or its being turned rdown,
as the majority of people were entirely in favour of theproject. •
It was a legal matter'"which the
council >vere unable to decide
right away.
■ Mr. Forde replied that the company .had everything ready, Bind
could"8tart work-inften days. *i he"
pile driver was ready, v only wanting coal and Mr. Jones of the Kelowna Sawmill had told "him that
thirty to1 forty feet of lumber was
ready. *■' The company had had to
take into consideration the water being shallow around the proposed wharf, and had ■ continued
the track" 120 or 130 feet further
Out. This would allow ample depth
of water, it was estimated, if.not
the Okanagan would come down
and scoop out a channel so as to
allow the scow a good depth of
water. Mayor DeHart _id not
think the council Bushed to delay
execution at all, and he thought
the company could start u)ork right
away, if they did so tt>tfh the understanding that they had no claim
on the-council if the by-law dosing up Water Street _>as turned
do_n; he did not; think it mould
be, but wished to have the council on the safe side. Mr, Forde
said it _>as certain that the council
were up against a legal propoa-
iti6n &nd could not decide, but
would ask for the by-lan> to be
passed by the people as soon as
possible. Maynr DeHart promised
this should be -done, and the
meeting adjourned, to meet again
"at seven thirty.7'

to put the matte" ihrough without delay.
A representative • of the
"Orchard City" had a short
conversation with Mr. j P Forde
representative of the C..P. R.
vvho is approaching the Council
with reference to the proposed
freight sheds to be constructed
by the railway company. Mr.
Forde intimated that as soon
as the plans and arrangements
are made with the City Council
the company will start in and
build adequate store , houses
and fruit warehouses. < If it is
required by the different exchanges, the system will'be
extended so as to facilitate the
transport of fruit, etc., from
those exchanges, and he hoped
the ultimate outcome of the
/ project would be the extending
of the service away into the
country, so that cars could be
packed on or near the farm
and hauled direct to the wharfe
J and dispatched without further
handling.
The motive^ power to be
used at present will be a steam
windlass, but it is hoped that
before long the system will
warrant an engine being used
for the conveyance of fruit from
distances in the country down
to the waters edge. Mr Forde
thinks this will be the state of
affairs in a few years time, and
only wishes the present
^—conditions—would——warrant
i    putting in a complete, system.'A.

a good  way  towards success.
The two parties into which the
Ladies' Hospital  Aid   divided
themselves have  worked with
commendable energy, and have
raised a good deal of money in j
one way and another.     Up  to'
the present date Mr. Gorrie in-1

$950 has, been handed over to
the   hospital.      This    money,
however, is not for the general

Buzz of the Mosquito and
Swallow'8 Forked Tail.
In Palestiue. w Here several religions
exist side by side, legends have crossed
and interrniu{;It_ in such a way as to'
make a distinct folklore. A collectiou'
ot stories from "Folklore In the Holy
Land," by the I_v J E. Hanauer,
L-outalns iiiuu.\ Bible legends in new
forms and with humorous additions.
One explains how the mosquito came
to buzz and why tbe swallow's tail is
forked
After the fall of man the serpent
missed the re n a id which the evil one
had promised him -namely, the sweetest food In the uorld Au angel was
appointed to assign to every creature
his food and duelling pla<e. The serpent asked for In.p..in flesh But Adam
protested ami point.- out shrewdly
that as nobody li.m ever lasted human
flesh it Wits toii|»HsIl>le to mnlntnln
that It was the most luscious of food
-bus he R.ilned n year's respite for the
race
Meanwhile the mo-quito was sent
round the world with instructions to
taste and report upon the blood of every living i real ni1!' At the end of
twelve months it \,ns to report in open
court the result ul  Its researches
Now Ada in I).i , n friend in that sacred bird Hi.' su iiiijw which annually
makes .1 piigis-i. im- to Metcti and all
holy places Tin. tiird shadowed the
mosquito all the twelve months until
I he day ot the <!.• ision Then as the
insect was on ns way to the court the
swallow met It openly and asked what
llesh and blood it had found sweetest.
"Man's," teplied the mosquito
"What-/" ii^k d the swallow "Please
•say It again  im i ,uu r_ther deaf"
On thi- the mosquito opened Its
mouth wide to shout, and tbe swallow
darteJ in its lull .aid plucked out the
insect's tongue        ,
They then prm ceded to the court,
where nil living < reatures were assembled to he.it rhe decision. On being
asked the otitionie of its investigation
the mosquito, which could now only
buzz, was unable to make itself understood, aud the swallow, pretending to
be its spokesman, declared that the
insect had said that it had found the
blood of the frog the most delicious
Sentence was therefore given that
frogs, not men. should be the serpent's
food
iii its rage and disappointment the
serpent darted forward to destroy the
swallow Hut the bird was too quhk:
the serpent sueiceded only in biting
some feathers out of the middle of t he
swallow's tail
This is why swallows have forked
tails

through a foolish joke. A youthful labourer named Henry Davey, was told by the
wharf keeper that he must not smoke
around the buildings. When asked to put
• his pipe out, Davey replied that there was
no danger of fire and playfully pushed a
lighted match against some loose stuff. It
immediately flamed up and soon the warehouse of Messrs. G. & H. Green was one
mass of blaze. The fire boats, Alpha and
Beta, were quickly on the scene, but owing to the inflamable nature of the goods
attacked, it was found impossible to arrest
the fire. The warehouse of T. B. Lawes
Co., manufacturing chemists, was attacked
and a force of 150 firemen, 21 fire engines,
and escapes were on the scene. The fire
lasted from Saturday afternoon to Monday
evening, and it was only after being reinforced from head quarters that the fire
was eventually quelled.
Death of the Poet, Stuinburn.
Algernan Charles Swinburn, England's
Poet Laureate, died last Saturday at the
age of 72 years. He was born in London,
being the eldest son of Admiral Charles
Swinburn, and grandson of the third Earl of
Ashburnham. He has been writing for
publication since 1861, and has long been
classed as one of the foremost poets of
the Victorian era. His death is due to an
attack of influenza, which owing to his advanced age, he was unable to resist.
Defrauds Saoiiigs Bank.
A conspiracy whereby large sums might
have been obtained from - the Post Office
Savings Bank was only brought to light by
the smartness of the ' Post Office Officials
at Manida Yale Post Office. A, book was
presented at this office and demand was
made for forty shillings, but Miss Parsons,
the postmistress noticed . that the entries
in'the book had been made in a different
ink, arid that the' postmarks were pencilled
over.' Testing the paper between her
thumb and finger she became conscious of
erasures having been made, and informed
the depositor that a withdrawal could not
be made until the amounts were verified
at the General Post Office. On hearing
this the depositor,'whose name was Dan-
son, was about to leave-the office, but Miss
Parson, a resolute little lady, seized him by
the arm and communicated with the police.
When carged at Bow Street, several similar
charges were added to the one which
caused the arrest, and it was 'found that a
general falsification of the books had been
going on for some time no less than one
hundred cases of fraud being before the
Postal Authorities.
''Corpse" ReoiDes.
An' amusing story has reached Belfast
from Aughnacloy, one of the chief towns
in South Tyrone.
A middle-aged woman, named Mrs.
M'Hugh, had been attended by the doctors
for some time past. On Saturday she took
a sudden fainting fit, and collapsed. It was
thought that she had died, and the son
started to make funeral preparations, the
•upposed corpse being meantime laid out
in the manner usual in the Irish country
districts. A wake waa held, the house being filled each day with friends and acquaintances.    '
While several of these visitors were discussing the merits of Mrs. M'Hugh, her
son, who waa standing at the bedside,
noticed a sudden twitching of the woman's
face; later the eyes of the supposed corpse
were opened, then she turned on her side,
and asked for a drink of water. An indescribable scene followed. The house was
crowded at the time, and several of the
visitors hastily made their way out. Others
at once attended to the wants 'of the
woman, who in a short time was able to
sit up,

that they   had been   removed   by

instated.
Alderman Costerton (says the
Vernon News) "stated that it was
by his orders that the librarian had i
removed these papers, and he j
thought that in ordering, their removal he was voicing the opinion !
of the great majority of the ratepayers. That the Socialists of
Vernon are in a hopeless minority
he did not think the members of
the council would deny, and he
felt sure that the great majority of
the ratepayers desired their reading room free from Socialist papers as they would from any immoral or unclean literature."

A Bar.
BY CHAS. F. RAYMOND.
1 stood before a door and read upon it
in gilded letters the one'word, "bar". As
I read a man pushed open the door, and
staggering out, fell upon his face on the
pavement. When he rose a thin red stream
trickled down his cheek. He fumbled for
his handkerchief, and the blood stained it,
and dyed his hands. It was the blood of a
sacrifice offered up at the shrine of the bar.
A Barl
Yes, well named, a bar to happiness, for
what happiness is there in a mind that is
distorted and a face that is bloody!
A Bar!
Yes, to good society,, for who wants a
drunken man? He is not welcome at the
theatre, club, or concert. He is a nuisance
as he reels on the street; he is a trouble at
home. _/
A Barl.
Yes, drunken man, there is a bar against
you in the very hotel where you bought the
liquor and got full. You are not wanted
there, for you are a bad advertisement, for
who is the hotelman who will point to you
and say:" That is my make," "That is my
customer," That is • product of my brand?"
A Bar! Yes, a bar to hopes fulfilled, a
bar to higher ideals, a bar to complete
manliness and friendliness that lasts And
lifts. A bar to a clear head, a clear eye
and steady step. Bar to -firm hand and
a trust in yourself. Bar to a full coal bin
and a full cupboard. Bar to boots for the
child, a dress for the wife, and a coat for
yourself^
A Bar!
Well named, well put, short, pithy, and
to the point, b-a-r. Bar to positions of trust,
to an increase of power, to the fuller confidence of the employer and a better using of
time. A bar to good, to the white life, to
the strong life and well rounded character.
A Barl
Yes, see it, the bottles-behind, the rail
in front, and the row of worshippers offering
themselves Soul and body at the shrine.
A Barl
Yes, a bar to decency, to right judgment.
A Bar!

Polyglot Saskatchewan.
Out in Saskatchewan the mingling ofthe
peoples is beginning to make the editors
take notice. Cosmopolitan—as New York
or London almost—so many sorts and conditions of people that to find the real
Simon-pure Canadian is sometimes a matter for mathematics, at least so thinks a
writer in one of the western newspapers,
who hits off the situation with a little
editorial sketch:—
"There's eight nations represented in
this ward of ours," said Mr. Flannighan to.
his wife on his return to from a political
meeting. He began to count them off on
his fingers. "There's Irish, French, Eye-
talians, Poles, Germans, Roosians,  Greeks
an"- -
Mr. Flannighan stopped and began
again: "There's Irish, Frinch, Eytalians,
Poles, Germans, Roosians, Greeks—an'
ain't it queer I disremember the other
wan?   There's Irish, Frinch—"
"Maybe 'twas. Canadians," suggested
Mrs. Flannighan.
"Sure, that's it," said her husband, "1
couldn't think what the eighth could be."

reply received from the steamer which
bound south from Prince Rupert was:—
"your man on board, , arrive 11:15," .consequently as Rankin walked down th^
gangway he was met by Constables Smith
and Munro, who safely conducted hhn to
the station. A warrant is lying ot Prince

Have vou made that blouse yet ?
is the question that young ladies
are asking one another today. The
cause of the question being so
general is,'so many young la'dies
are busy preparing for the blouse ,
competition to be held shortly, in
aid of the Hospital. All persons
are eligible to compete, and if you
have not already "done' so, run off
to the store and buy a dollar's
worth of material, this is the outside price the material ■ must cost.
If you do not win one of the two
prizes you are helping- a" good

A great deal of Nursery stock is
still coming to the Valley, both
Laritz and Oregon, and in a few
years time should be a fair test of
what is best suited for this country.
Everything is looking its best at
present.

A very interesting entertainirfent
was given on Monday evening last
by    the    Ladies'  Aid   Society  of
Mount View Methodist Church to
help defray the church debt.   This
being  the   anniversary   occasion,
tea was' served from 6  to  8 p.m.,
after which' a program was rendered,   those   taking   part   being
Misses Gladys Bird, Evelyn Sproule
Annie Gay, Mrs. H. Lome Flem
ing,   Miss   Ela'  Farmer,   Mr.   W.
Schell, Mr. A. E. Clarke and others.
Appropriate remarks mere  made

it was found that with the proceeds
of the evening, together with  subscriptions taken up on Sunday, the
church  has been   made   free * of
debt .which is very'gratifying,  seeing that it is but one year since it
commenced. '

It has long been'known (says the "Phil-
. odelphia Record"), that . plants require
periods'of .rest. The potato,; for instance,
likes to sleep the whole winter through.
But it has been'found.that this long sleep

exposed to a temperature just above freezing point for a couple of weeks after they
are harvested, the long sleep will be found
to be unnecessary. '.>.'"
Others have tried exposing plants to the
stimulus of ether. It has been discovered
that if during the natural period of rest a
'branch of lilac be exposed for a couple of
days to ether it will immediately begin to
grow. But ether is expensive compared
with warm water, and'" its use* in .he
greenhouse lacks the' element of safety.

prairies who would like to hear of the good times which the young
people of Kelowna have during the summer months, so the above
prizes will be awarded for the best imaginary letter from a boy or girl
in Kelowna district to a boy or girl on the prairie, on

The third council meeting this week,
Was held in , the Council Chamber on
Tuesday night, Mayor DeHart, Aldermen
jjall, Bailey, Cox and Rowcliffe being present. The minutes of the the previous
meeting having been read and adopted.
Mayor DeHart Wijihed to ask Mr. Burne,
city .solicitor, who jt»_ present at the
meeting, if it was legal to grant the new
Cannery exemption from taxation.
Mr. Burne advised that as a by-law had
been passed whereby a business running
in opposition to another could not be exempt of taxation. The query would be
answered by this by-law.
Mr. Forde on behalf of the C.P.R., and
Messrs. Stirling and Boyce attended to
listen to the reading over of the agreement
allowing the C.P.R. to take over land and
to commence operations, also to, hear bylaws 59 and 60 read for the first time.
In these by-laws it was required to close
a portion of Water Street, so as to allow
the C.P.R. to run their track and warehouse successfully.
Messrs. Stirling and Boyce being willing
to give a piece of their land for the extension of Water Street in a straight line.
The by-laws were read and passed for the
fust reading.
Mr. Stirling then approached the council for the gift of part of the fore shore in
consideration of their giving the council
the land to straighten Water Street.
Mayor DeHart did not agree to giving
this land over to private individuals, as
the council might want to offer it to some
comRony. It was the only piece left to
offer.
Mr. Stirling pointed out that it was to
the advantage of the city to have the
C.P.R. warehouses there, also an advantage to straighten Water Street, and as he
and Docter Boyce had decided to give the
council land to straighten the street; he
only thought it right to get something in
exchange.
Mayor DeHart remarked that the proposed railway and warehouses were a
benefit to the city and Messrs. Boyce and
Stirling, and he would like to , point out
that the fact of the CP.R. having sheds
near the land owned by Messrs' Boyce
and Stirling would be increasing the value
of that property. ,
All the council agreed with Mayor De-
Hart that the fore shore ought to be. kept
by them, and not handed over totwo private persons.
Mr. Stirling remarked t that if the land
was not,given to them it would be 'given
to gome one else.     r '^     A
Mayor DeHart replied that it would in
all probability be kept in reserve for a
company should one desire to locate here.
The matter then dropped, Messrs. Stirling and'Boyce reserving their decision as
to whether the papers were ready_o sign
or not.
The following accounts were referred to
the finance committee to be paid if  found
correct;
W. T. Ashbridge, work  on   water
and   light : $105 65
Mayor DeHart asked the council to
think over the advisability of buying a
team for general city work.*
The price of the exhibition grounds was
next mentioned, it being decided to buy
the old A. & T Grounds for $5,500.
The meeting adjourned to meet again at
eleven a.m., on Saturday, 24th April.
