Meeting of the City Council Cemetery By-law Finally Passed A meeting of the council waa held last Saturday,' the Mayor, Aid. Leckie, Copelar.d, Jones and Dalgleish being present. The minutes disposed of, the following accounts were referred to the finance~com- mitte for payment: I. L. Mawhinney, work on sidewalke$34 50 B. C. Gazette, advt.

I 5f '.-' The by-law for the regulation of the cemetery was then taken up and with very little discussion was " re-considered and finally passed." An application was read from Constable MacRae for a uniform- to be supplied by the council, or in lieu, an increase in salaty. . Several of the aldermen express- eel their approval of Constable MacRae'as a most efficient officer, And thought it was desirable that he should wear a proper uniform which would help tp maintain the 'dignity of his position. A motion was accordingly passed that the council-provide a suitable uniform for the Chief of Police. Attention was diawn to the fact that the watering of the streets would have to be resumed, as the dust nuisance had arisen again as the result of the fine weather. Aid. Dalgleish announced that he had already engaged a team for the purpose. As some alterations were necessary to the street watering bylaw, it was decided tp "take the matter up at the next meeting. Aid. Leckie suggested that the stand-pipe arrangement in front of the Fire Hall, which had been used for filling the water cart should be done away with. It was a source of expense, as the stopcock froze up every winter and cost $10 in the spring to renew. He suggested that the cart be equipped with a short length of hose which could be readily attached to any of the hydrants. This method would not only be quicker, but it would often save long journeys to and from the' filling place. Aid. Dalgleish mentioned that , the city would have to be looking ; around for a nuisance ground, as he did not think the present land would be available after the lease had expired. He had spoken to the owners about it, and they had complained: of the " way in which the ground waa kept Heaps of bottles and cans were distributed ail-over the -placs,^ - Aid. Leckie said there were several big holes to fill on some of the. new streets. He suggested that the bottles and cans might be dumped there for a time. They '■ would help to fill up. The meeting then adjourned until Saturday, April 22nd. Easter Monday Social The Easter Monday social arranged by the Ladies' Aid of the Presbyterian church was a highly enjoyable affair to the Urge number of people who attended. Mr. W. B. M.

The plans of the Grand Trunk Pacific for acquiring the Indian reserve for townsite property at Fort George have fallen through, at least for the present. By putting a prohibitive price on their holdings the Indians. have virtually turned the railway company's project down. W. C. T. U.

Immigration Laws to be Suspended To Get Labor for Railroad Contractors Registration of Births, Marriages, and Deaths Regulations to be Enforced More Strictly The Dominion immigration reg ulations providing that aliens) entering Canada must come from the land of their birth or naturalization will be partially suspended it is stated, from April 15 to September 30 in order to give the railroad contractors apportunity to obtain men for the vast amount of railway construction being projected for the summer season. The precise regulation is, Privy Council otder, No. 920. It was on July 14, 1910, suspended for three months, as the contractors were unable to secure sufficient labour. In connection with the suspension of the order, it is added, however", thatthe applicants for admission must produce evidence to show that they are going to railway construction jobs. Laborers from the south of Europe will not be allowed to enter Canada, the change applyinb only to those from Northern Europe. Orientals are not affected. Automatic Guns Barred in Duck Shooting Bv an order-in-council just passed by the provincial * executive, the future use of automatic guns by British Columbia sportsmen has been prohibited as from the first of September next. These guns have only come into general use during the past few years, been, particularly favored by duck hunti% ers, who with them have been enabled to slaughter the ducks by wholesale. The general opinion is that their use is the reverse of sportsmanlike and the action taken by the|government will meet with the cordial approval of true sportsmen in all parts of the country. By a second order-in-council a closed season for sheep during the ensuing two years has been prescribed in the districts of Yale, Okanagan, and Similkameen and another year of immunity has been granted the wapiti in all parts of the mainland as from September 1. The wapiti of Vancouver Island already are under similar special protection. Drank From Wrong Glass At the Leroi mine at Rossland, last Wednesday, James Fuller, the surveyor and assayer, was eating his iunch when he reached out for a beaker of water. There was no one else with him at the time, and it is supposed he picked up a beaker of potassium cyanide by mistake and drank it. F. S. Peters, who was in another office, heard his telephone ring, and on answering it, he heard Fuller's voice shout " Oh, Peters I and then there was silence. The foreman hurried to Fuller's office, but found him lying on some steps about 5.0 feet aw«y. He breathed once or twice, then died without a word. On examination made at his office it was ascertained that there was a beaker was a beaker of water on the table and a beaker of potassium cyanide upset. Fuller had a sandwich in his hands when his body was found. By an order in council passed at the protracted meeting of the provincial executive last Wednesday night, the amended law transferring all matters incidental to the registration of births, marriages and deaths from the attorney general's to the provincial secretary's department was brought into operation and effect as from the first of the provincial fiscal year, April 1 st, Dr. C. J. Fagan becoming registrar. It is announced as the intention of the department to see that this Act is hereafter very strictly enforced, and under it clergymen are henceforward required to make returns for all marriages performed by them within forty-eight hours after their solemnization. The registration law in respect of births, deaths and marriages has in the past been very much of a dead letter. Deaths, as a rule, have been promptly recorded by the undertakers, for the reason primarily that the filing of registration forma is necessarily precedent to the issuance of burial permits. With regard to births and marriages, however, almost inconceivable laxity ha? been permitted. Recent investigations of an informal nature disclosed that in the chief population centres of- the province, a considerably greater number of children have been christened or baptized than the official show to have been born; while with respect to marriages, the practice of-the clergy appears to have been to keep their filing certificates together until a considerable number have accumulated. One clergyman visiting the land registry office a few months ago, took advantage of the opportunity afforded by his visit to register.jail the marriages that he had been performing during a residence in Victoria of upwards of twenty years. Hereafter it will be advisable for clergymen, and all others upon whom the legal obligation of registration rests to see that such registration takes place within the prescribed period, as otherwise the penalties provided by the Act will be rigorously enforced. ... • ' ■ -m^L r' -■■ - .it.tt= BIRTHS The District Deputy Grand Master of Masons, Capt.

'" ■• v Winter Sports in the Rocky Mountains Swiss Guides Imported From Europe • Announcement has been officially made that the Canadian Pacific Railway hotels in the mountains will be kept open all winter in future for the benefit of tourists who prefer the attractions of the snows to the delights of summer in the JSelkirks and Rockies. A great deal of attention will be paid it is said to winter sports such as tobogganing, snow shoeing, skiing, skating, hockey, sleighing, and ice- boating, and it is hoped to make the well-known resorts on the railway system in British Columbia and Alberta just as popular in winter as in summer. The success which the hotels in Switzerland have met in encouraging such recreation as this for winter tourists fro.i. Great Britain and America, it is believed, can also be achieved here. Already skiing, which is comparatively new in Western Canada, has gained a very prominent place among winter pastimes throughout the Rockies. '■/ The construction of the Swiss village of Edelweiss, about a mile west of Golden, in which the hardy Swiss guides being brought from Europe for the CP.R. mountain hotels are to live, will be.conpi- pleted^ by iiiext September* -it is stated. The contract for the construction of the cottages in the village has been awarded by the company to a Calgary firm. Campaign Against Bovine Tuberculosis No Encouragement to Negro Immigrants 7 The movement to Canada of negroes- from Oklahoma has received its -latest check on the British Columbia boundary. Canadian immigration inspectors at Blaine have turned back the party of forty which on Thursday reached White Rock, Boundary station, in a special car, presumably for Alberta, The ground of rejection was physical unfitness, several of the party having tuberculosis. While these were the only ones barred from entering Canada by the inspectors those physically sound and otherwise meeting the immigration requirements having plenty of mpney, at once declined to enter without their less fortunate relative, and all returned south. It is believed that the party sought to enter the Dominion at this point-owing to the success of somt thirty negroes, also from Oklahoma, in December, who passed through Vancouver in that month by way of Blaine, bound for Alberta, in the northern part of which a number have already taken.up free homesteads, for there is no law preventing American- negroes entering Canada fbr this purpose who have health and money. " Immigration officers here and at the boundary do not draw the color line," said Mr. J. H. MacGill, head of the immigration department in Vancouver. "We are following the declared policy of the government, which does not encourage the negro as a settler, because the authorities do not think he will do well in Canada's climate." An important circular notification to all agriculturists and dairymen with respect to the necessity of exerting all possible endeavour to secure the stamping out of bovine tuberculosis is being sent out by the live stock commissioner for the province, Mr. M. A. Jull. In his communication to the directly interested parties, ihe live steck commissioner deals with the subject at length. He says in part: "British Qolumbia has probably not had so much of the disease as other parts where the dairy industry has been highly developed, such as in some of the eastern states; however, we have enough to give us sufficient cause to take every precaution for its eradication. While there is yet little of it, we should see that it is entirely eradicated in order that our dairymen may be in a position to breed healthy herds and produce wholesome milk. " While there are many features concerned in the eradication of this disease and while various methods have been adopted in-other parts, it is to 'be seen that in British Columbia the work has been progressing favourably. One significant feature in our work is ihe cooperation on the part of the dairymen. Many of our dairymen are anxious to maintain herds free from the disease and are having, their herds officially tested and premises inspected by the provincial veterinary inspectors, of which" there are four in the province. On the other hand, many: dairymen have little or no knowledge of the disease and do not realize the importance ^of its eradication. This depattiiicnt has -been .carrying on educational work rhroughout the province, in an endeavour to show our dairymen the nature of the disease and why it should be eradicated from our herds. "It is possible that the general public does not realize the material assistance the government is giving them by compensating them for all slaughtered^ animals which are affected by the disease.,; This is more than is being done in any other part and the responsibility of completely eradicating the disease largely lies with dairymen. Anyone wishing to have their herds tested and their dairy premises inspected should apply to Dr. A. Knight, chief veterinary inspector, Sardis, B. C, under whose charge the work is being carried on." A settler, by starting fires in the bush, between Penticton and Dog lake, caused a serious conflagration last week which threatened the south and residential part of the town. Practically every able-bodied man in Penticton was out, fighting the flames. By back-firing several acres of dry. brush the danger was finally averted.

Copeland and Dr. Richards. The new firm of Copeland & Richards will re-organize the business, which will be known as the Kelowna Livery and Horse Exchange. The buying and selling of horses will constitute their main business, and in view of the increasing demand in the district for horses of all kinds, thi- should not only prove a highly profitable bu8:ness for themselves, hul a great convenience to horse buyers and new settlers. Since the beginning of the month Mr. Copeland has disposed of no fewer than S'xteen work teams. Ail this, win!., eloquent testimony of the growing prosperity of the Kelowna district, indie, tes a need for a really efficient sales stable and horse exchange.

The new flag pole was erected this week in the city park near the band stand. It is 75 feet high— about ten feet higher than the old one. If you want lo know what's doing ing the way of development in a town, watch the sawmill I The growth and activity or otherwise in that institution is usually a pretty safe indication of the amount of business being done in other lines. The Kelowna Sawmill is making preparation for a record turnover this season. An extensive addition to the factory has just been completed nearly doubling the available space. A complete suction system of removing sawdust and chippings from the machines has also been installed, this waste being drawn into a network af pipes by means of a large fan, and carried to the boiler to be utilized as fuel. New machinsry is being installed in the enlarged factory to handle the box making branch, and a new and powerful printing press will impress the names of the different packing houses on the box ends. Several other improvments have been lately carried out in different parts of the mill, all making for greater efficiency and increased output. The office is also in the hands of the carpenters who are remodeling the interior. Miss Dickson and Miss Robinson were passengers to Vernon Monday for a few days visit.

For rapid progress it ra^r. cU. #<*iy resembles 'American eiti"= tliiin •i.ny other city on the continent. William t_. Curti3, of The Chicago R.-eord Hen.ld, wjites very interestinj.'".y concerning thia German city. Among oth"r things he says: Although it is so old ..nd in several respects so antiqupted. Hnnover is. one of the most enterprising cities in Germany, and i.- trrowintr a? rapidly as some of the boomed ci'7.»_? df Amor. ica. The populatiin in 1940 was 27,- 000, in 1850 it v.-a* 49.909. in 18S0 ,'t was 106,667, in 1900 it was 266,753 inhabitants, an increase oi 33.000 during the last 10 year?, or an average of 3,000 a year. Mo?t of the newcomers are from the country districts, being attracted to the city by its commercial and industrial a:lvantages. Almost every industry is represented among the factories, and tl.e energy and enterprise of tlio population has been recognized tir a mind red years. Hanover was the first town in Europe to use gas; it was one of the first to use electricity; it wa? the second to run street cars, and the second to adopt asphaltum for pavements. The business section of the city is built up closely with fine Inrsje blocks of modern building?. The- residence portion will compare favorably with any other city in Germany, but it is a question whet hi-r the people" are prouder of the mrxlern palaces and the broad streets upon which they stand or the old part of the city, with its .antiquated architecture and its narrow, crooked, lanelike thoroughfares. In the old town you c.an see where tho ford was frt in which the city derived its name. Six high- ways running from different part.-; of Germany concentrated at a shnl- low place in the Lcine river, the Hohen Ufer, as' it was called, a phrase that was gradually corrupted into Hanover. Queer English Custom. Persons aspiring to become bailiff at Alnwick, Kiig.auir. have to go through a curious and somewhat unpleasant ordeal. Before the election the various candidates ride up in a body to a horse pond and, there dismounting from their steeds, plunge into the water and struggle as best they may to the other side. The mu=ic of a brass band cheers them during their struggles in the dirty water. This ancient custom dates from tlie reign of King John, who once paid a visit to the town in 1210 and found no fitting welcome prepared for him. The bbime for this state of unprepar- edness was fastened on the luckless bailifls, who wcra promptly thrown into the horse pond l>y royal command. The Sicilian Vespers. Tht Sicilian Vespers is the term given to the massacre of the French in Sicily. March 30. 1232. On Easter Monday conspirators assembled ut Palermo, and while the French were engaged in festivities a Sicilian bride passed by with her train. A Frenchman used her -ndely. and a young Sicilian stabbed him on the spot. The populace ran through the city crying out, "Let the French die! and without distinction of rank, age or Bex slaughtered all the Frenchmen they could find. About 8,000 were massacred. Not ever, the churches were allowed to become a sanctuary (or them. The massacre was general throughout the island. New Zealand Dairy Exports. New Zealand is becoming yearly an increasing exporter of cheese and butter to the British market, a great development of the cheese-making industry especially having taken place within the last few years, ln 1903 the total export of cheese was 8,356.432 pounds of the value of $383,806. For 1910 the quantity as above noted was 49,491,008 pounds of the value of $5,- 770,426, while for the first quarter of the current year (April 1 to June 30) the quantity-exported 'ssas 15,308,043 pounds, of the value or $1,782,495.— Census and Statistics Monthly. .To Keep Young.

But if you have passed from your torment to a greater unknown, only the. horrifying thought of your transgressions will be perpetuated in history. . The Ottoman empire has furnished the world some of its most trepid incongruities. But none has been so; nauseating as.the career of this old wretch. From the time of his youth to his overthrow by the Young Turks he has been the incarnation of all that is., wicked. ! It is said that his mother was a slave of Armenian origin. She was a dancer in the household of his father's sister, ISsmJ-Sultana. When a young, man it was noticd that he was unlike the other children of the court. He was sad, taciturn and melancholy. Though his face was tho personifica- tion of innocence and youth there was an apparent expression of cunning to |th< s who can detect evidence of a 'hidden characteristic. . ',. One day the youngster met & gypsy (fortune teller who read his palm. She Itold him that some day he would sit on the throne. The suggestion was all ithe dreamer needed to begin his plan- Ining. Han. he undoubtedly did for .'power, to mete out cruelty. After this •he devoted days and nights to sor- ;cerers and magicians. With much of hi; time occupied in this manner, yet jhe had time for a romance or two. ! A beautiful golden-haired maiden, jMUe. Flora Cordler, a Belgian mo- idiste, chanced to pass through the 'crowded streets of Constantinople. She .became aware that a sallow, dark-eyed Iboy on horseback had his eyes riveted jon her. She paid no attention to jbim and was aroused to anger when Jhe attempted to speak to her. She Sassed along thinking the incident ad closed. The next day she was surprised to receive a note from a member of the royalty. The note contained the startling information that Prince Abdul Hamid would like to make her acquaintance. Shy, and modest, as she was, the information played on her vanity. She granted him an interview which was nothing i more than the first step in her wretch- j edness. He offered to make her his {legitimate wife and she accepted. She w-; converted to Islamism and the world-famed Fatima began her career. But his love was short-lived and soon jFatimn disappeared. I 'Soon after this he began to plot against his brother. - He was 33 years .old when his-brother Murad succeed- led Abdul-Aziz to the throne. About {this time the madness of the Othman family began to show in the dreamy young man. He told Midhat-Pasha that the brother on the throne was a |helpless madman. The pasha was the 'great friend of the people and he a&w that the regent was not the studious and far-sighted man he hud been before his accession to the throne. By the efforts of the pasha aud the connivances of Hamid the latter was able to ascend the throne three months rt"Dr his brother replaced Abdul-Aziz. His expression of gratitude was in doing away witb his brother and placing Abdul-Aziz, the pa- troit, in exile.. The new regent destroyed all manner of claim to the throne by his brother in the event of his being restored to health and banished al! patriots from the kingdom. There are many stories telling how many of these were killed and their bodies placed in sacks and cast into I the seas. N i He had seen to it that his brother I would not return from his place of ' confinement. Some time late.' a fire destroyed the house of Midhat-Pasha. Ulosely following this a box arrived in Constantinople addressed to Abdul Ilamid. In the box was the head of Midhat-Pasha, the brother of the Sultan. He had been choked to death in Vis bed. A quarter of a century later (he head was found in the cellar of the royal pulnce. Similar persecutions followed during the long career cf the scheming Sultan until he was dethroned und cast into exile by the Yiunlg Turks. Abdul Humid was bom September £2, 1642.

Immediately after the explosion the house took fire, and when it subsided the gha's.Iy remains of the unfortunate victim of the accident was found in the ruins. One of the sad features of the disaster is that the Lingfords, who are young people and generally liked in the district, were married only a few weeks past. A novt-1 industry has recently been established at Lriyingtun, in the Okanagan district by Messis. Bourke and Monteith, two young resident ranchers. This is nothing less than fur farming on an extensive scale, the breeding ol marten being specialized. Eighteen of these prized fcn.mils wete taken alive in the Sugar Lake section last winter, and are now being cared for in pens on the Bourke and Monteith ranch. As the marten of this section are p. r icularly large and dark, the best heing scarcely distinguishable from Russian sables, the promoters of the new industry are confident that there is a profii- able business to be developed on the lines they have adopt d.

Provincial and General News Acting in conjunction with the department of agriculture, the Vancouver Exhibition Association will this year use every effort to have a thoroughly representative display of every kind of fruit grown in British Columbia. The department of agriculture has taken this matter up with the exhibition association and will assist in placing an exhibit at this year's fair that will be a credit to the province. Mme.

The exodus of negroes from Oklahoma to Alberta which started several months ago, is 'continuing despite the fact that it is not being encouraged by the Canadian Government; Twenty negro farmers from near Fallis' Lincoln county, left last'.week to join the "colony ; in Alberta.- They expect to take up claims and immediately build homes' and start their crops, after which their families, numbering in all about 200|Jpersojns, will join them. It is said that a colonization company is financing the negroes during the first season. The delimitation of the boundary line between Canada and Alaska from the Porcupine River, 15r0 jmiles north of the Yukon river, to the^.

Mr. Carnegie has offered to de fray for three years the expensesrof sending three orfour young nien from Great Britain to the/United States for thorough training in practical methods of dealing with noxious insects. Sir E.

It is now definately ^certain that Hon. R. II. Borden will tour the west in the interests of a strong campaign against .the reciprocity agreement, during July and August.. The Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux, Postmaster-General, has received from the Imperial authorities the design suggested by them for the new stamp with the'head of King George. It is understood however, thai the design is not one which the minister considers to be altogether suitable for Canada, and Canadian engravers will probably be asked to submit designs to the department. A report from Fresno, Cal., states that in the opinion of fruitmen fully two-thirds of the Malaga shipping grapes and seedless raisin grapes in this region were killed by frost. The thermometer dropped as low as 27 in some ranches and smudging had little effect. As a result ofthe tremendous influx of immigrants into Canada, in the past few weeks, it now begins to look as though immigration figures this year will greatly exceed I those of last year. The traffic between St. John, N. B. and Montreal has been particularly heavy, and never before have the large steamships disembarked so many prospective settlers at St. John as during the past two months. Last month, 18,500 passengers were carried from St. John to Montreal by the C. P. R. which is 5,700 more than the record of March last year. During the past two years immigration to Canada has increased 150 per cent, and during the past few weeks the C. P. R. has run sixty-one special trains from St. John to Montreal alone. Twenty / persons are reported dead, with at least a hundred injured, two towns practically swept away, scores of buildings demolished and hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of property damaged as the result/of a tornado that raged in Kansas and Oklahoma the other day. .

For more tlmn n -linn ..red years the Tiu.nns of the upper Amazon h»ve biiffied science with t'..e secret of a p-.i*on which they brew for the purpose of rendering their arrow tips more deadly. Many of the world's noted scientists have investigated into the chemical composition of this poiaon, but the natives of the Amu zon have zealously guarded the formula of the brew and effort-, of these investigntors have been without avail. Not long ago a professor in a German university was sent to the South American wilderness for the purpose of discovering the hprbs that were used in making curari. as th* poison is named. After spending two years among the various tribes, he was forced to give up his quest and was coming out of the country when he fell in with « a traveler who had obtained possession of a native blow- srun. The latter tells how he put some of the professor's curari on some of his blowgun arrows, which nre like toothpicks feathered with cotton, and tried it on a buck deer in the forest. "After a deliberate aim our hunter fired, if I may use such a word for the little puff, scarcely heard by us, and entirely inaudible above the rustling corn leaves at the distance of the deer. The animal gave a slight st.irt ns it felt the prick "of the arrow on its flank and turned partly around,- snifling the air for a scent, and look- ins about as if searching for the insect that had bitten or stung it. Detecting nothing, it stood still and unnlarmed. At the end of a minute, -it a minute and a half at most. it« head dropped a little, as if it V.as sleepy- "When the hunter saw this he arose and stepped out in plain sight. The deer turned his head and looked at him, and moved forward, not away from him. a few steps, and stopped. It showed no fear, but simply curiosity. After another minute the professor and I ■ arose, and all,_ three ■valked quietly to within reach of it. It made no movement to run away. tint watched us intentlv. and shifted its .|>osition a little. Its movement* accrued perfectly easy and natural Absence of fear was the only observable change, until at the end of three minutes more; than it lay down, not tallins, but as naturally as a cow or sheen when ready for sleep. "We all approached its sid-., an.l the huntet laid a hand on its shoul !er. It looked up at him, but show ■vi no resentment or fear. Even it.- l>r»athing seemed easy and natural, which surprised me, as I had heard .hat death resulted from paralysis if the lungs when caused by curari.'* The question naturally arises as to whether an animal killed in this ■nanner would be edible. The scientist does not tell, but it is safe to venture that if the meat procured jiftt-r thia style of hunting were not poisonous an adapting of this style in our native wilds might tend to lescen the annual rate of human fatality resultant from the heedless lischarging of rifles.
