A travelling photographer, who
had been taking photograph around
"town with a view to selling copies
them, appeared before the council
to ask for a reduction of the $50
license for which he was liable
under the by-law.
The mayor informed him that
the council had no power to make
any reduction without changing the
by-law. He promised, however,
that the council would look up the
by-law and give a definite decision
on his case the following Monday.
The mayor reported that, the
assessment for the extension of St.
Paul street had been worked out.
It was found that a rate of 3£c„ 7c.
and 10c. per foot frontdge according to the location of the property
would raise the necessary amount
to pay interest and sinking fund
on the money required to be
borrowed to purchase the two
pieces of land needed for the
street.
The following resolution was
passed :
" That the resolution fixing the
rate of assessment for the extension
of St Paul street passed on June
3rd last be rescinded and the
following substituted:
"That the report of the chairman of the Board of Works and
Assessor on the' extension of St.
Paul street through parts of Blocks
34 and 38 in Map 462, assessing
cost of land purchased in the
following properties be passed,
viz.: 3&c. per foot frontage on
property fronting on St. Paul street
in Block 38, Map 462: 7c. per
foot frontage front' Block 38 to
Doyle avenue; 10c. per foot from
Doyle avenue to Mr. Weddell's
property ; 7c. per foot through Mr.
Weddell's property."
The financial estimates from the
various departments of the city
were then taken up.
The mayor read the report from
the Board of School Trustees, in
which the estimated expenditure
for the year was placed at $9,354.05
Of this $3,390 would be paid by
the government, leaving $5,964.08
to be raised hy taxation. This, said
the mayor, was an increase of over
$ 1,700 over last year's requirements.
It would therefore be necessary to
levy 6 mills- for school purposes,
instead of 4& as last year. As the
Act only allowed a levy of 5 mills
for this purpose, the remaining one
mill would have to come from the
general revenue of the city.
Some comment was made upon
the large increase in school expenditure.
It was due, the mayor stated, to
no special outlay, but to ordinary
increase of running expenses of the
schools. Salaries were higher, and
more teachers were emyloyed.
Other expenses had also increased.
Aid. Leckie, as chairman of the
Light and Water Committee, presented the estimates for that department. The total estimated
revenue from both light and water
for the year was $14,600. The
total operating expenses for the
year, $8,129.32. This would leave
a profit on the year's running of
$6,470.68. To add to this was a
revenue of $1,250 credited from
the street lighting. After paying
interest and sinking fund on the
debentures—$5,731—it was estimated that there would be a clear
surplus of $1,989.68.
The following general estimates
of the finance committee were
then read:

On these estimates the rate of
taxation proposed was 23 mills,
made up of 13 mills for debenture
interest and sinking funds; 5 mills
for school, and 5 mills for general
purposes.
There were two items of expenditure, said the mayor, in which a
large increase was noticeable, viz:
for schools and for streets. The
total increase in the assessment
was about $5000. The increase in
the assessment this year would only
produce an addition to the revenue
from taxation of about $400. There
had been, moreover, a reduction
of $750 in the revenue from the
Light department by the removal
of the meter rent. The committee
had been hoping to strike a 20
mill rate this year, had not there
been so large an increase of expenditure.
Aid. Cox asked if there was no
possibility of reducing the school
expenditure in the future.
The opinion was expressed,
however, that it would be more
likely to increase.
A resolution was passed " That
the reports of the Board of School
Trustees and of the different committees of the council for 1911, also
that the general estimates for 1911
be passed."
Aid. Leckie gave notice that he
would introduce a by-law at the
next meeting for the purpose of
raising $3,000 to meet certain
capital expenditure on the Light
and Water plant. This included
money spent or necessary to spend
on machinery, pipe and extensions.
Aid. Dalgleish also gave notice
that it would be necessary to submit two separate by-laws for $3,000
each; one for opening up certain
streets and the other for road machinery. He would like the committee to go into the matter of machinery first however.
With respect to the government
steam roller, continued Aid. Dalgleish, he had seen Mr. Hereron
during the week, who had informed him that the city could get the
roller right away if they needed it.
It would be advisable, therefore, to
get the roller as soon as the rock
had been laid on the streets. They
could have the use of the roller bv
paying the expenses of running it.
Referring again to the proposal
to purchase road machinery, Aid.
Dalgleish said they would need a
street sprinkler, and a rock crusher
with prrtable bin. The only way
to get good streets was to have a
rock crusher. It was costing the
city a lot of money to put shale
rock on the streets, and they were
getting very little good from it.
The shale rock was too soft and
went to dust very quickly. They
should be putting on good hard
rock.
Aid. Leckie expressed the view
that tney ought to see if a deal
could not be made with some other
town. A rock crusher would not
be used more than one month in
a year, and it seemed unnecessary
for every town in the valley to own
a plant when perhaps two plants
would do the whole business.
A plan of the subdivision of the
south half of block 22,  map  202
was referred back for amendment.
The meeting    then   adjourned
with  the  intention   of holding   a1
special meeting on Tuesday morn- j
ing.     Owing to  the  absence .of|
many aldermen  from  town  however, the special  meeting had  to
be abandoned.

the gallant efforts of Mr. Axel
Eutin, who seized one of the lines,
the affair might have ended
seriously. -

Kelowna Racing and

All in Readiness
for the Coronation
London Awaiting the Great
Historic Event
Preparations for the coronation
in London are reported to be almost complete, although the great
event is yet a full week distant.
Visitors in.thousands are pouring
in from all over the world, and the
available accommodation is rapidly filling up, even at the high prices
which are being charged. The
route of the procession presents a
strange appearance, most of the
public buildings being buried under huge wooden structures designed to accommodate sightseers.
Police' regulations for the control
of the crowds on the days of the
proceedings will be more stringent
than ever. Temporary gates are
being erected on all thoroughfares
through which the procession will
pass, and these will be closed as
soon as the route is comfortably
lined with spectators. Probably
this will be as early as six or seven
o'clock in the morning, after which
the centre of London will be a
walled-in city. This method of
closing the streets is expected to
prove more effective than the old
system of employing cavalry to
keep the crowds back.
The ceremony was rehearsed
last Friday in the Abbey Church of
St. Peter, Westminster, many of
the principal participants being
coached in the parts they will have
to take at the crowning of King
George.
New Organization to Control
Sports of City
A public meeting was held last
Thursday evening in Raymer's Hall
to consider the proposal which has
been made by the Victoria Day
Sports Committee to form a permanent association to run the sports
and races on Victoria Day and at
the Fall Fair. About 40 people
were present, Mr. P. DuMoulin
being elected to preside.
~Mt. P. Brooke, who was secretary
of the Victoria Day committee, was
elected secretary pro tern., and he
and Mr. F. S. Coates gave a short
outline of the object of the meeting.
It was felt that the plan of electing
a hasty committee to manage the
various sports a few days before
the events were to take place, was
not a satisfactory way of dealing
with them. If a permanent
association which would remain in
existence throughout the year could
be formed, the grounds could be
better looked after, and both the
racing and athletic sports made
much more successful.
A number of those present took
the opportunity of expressing their
views on the subject, and the proposal was generally well received.
Eventually on the motion of W.
R. Trench, seconded by W. Glenn,
the following committee were appointed to gather all necessary information respecting the foundation
of a sports organization, and to
draft a form of constitution and bylaws; F. S. Coates, P. DuMoulin,
F. Fraser, R. Lambley, J, Pettigrew,
P. Brooke, H. Rees, W. M. Parker,
D. W. Crowley, J. N. Cameron, M.
Hereron, Dr. Richards, R. A. Copeland, F. Buckland, J. Casorso.
After, the general meeting the
committee held a session at which
Mr. F. S. Coates was elected chairman and P. Brooke secretary.

Injuries
Mr. W. J. Brandrith, of Ladner,
B. G, who has been appointed
Exhibition Commissioner for B. G,
was in town this week making
arrangements for supplies of fruit
for the various Canadian shows.
As announced last week, B. C. is
shut out from the Old Country this
year, the Royal Horticultural Society
having barred our exhibits from
their shows until 1914, on account
of repeated successes. This is on
the principle of " give the others a
chance.
The sad news has been received
by Mr. J. B. Knowles from Hants-
port, N. S., where Mrs. Knowles is
at present staying, of the death of
the latter's father, Capt. T. W. Mc-
lcinlttv one of the old timers of
that district, for years engaged in
the shipbuilding industry. Capt.
McKinlay was well known and
widely respected in Nova Scotia,
and his death, from Bright's disease
will be much regretted.
The many Kelov/nn purchasers

Telegrams have been received to
the effect that the drilling on the
company's holdings in California
haa proved successful and a 28,-
000 barrel gusher struck,which has
settled down to 8,000 or 10,000.
While riding after a horse which
had got loose from the stable, Dr.
S. C. Richards, veterinary surgeon,
happened an accident Tuesday
noon, which has laid him up in
hospital with broken ribs and a
fractured skull. In endeavouring
to round up the runaway, Pendozi
street, the horse the doctor was
riding, while going at a good speed,
was crowded up against the side
of the road, coming into violent
collision with an electric light pole
at the corner of Burne avenue. Dr.
Richards was thrown heavily, and
lay in the road unable to move.
Luckily the accident was seen by
Mr. J. B. Whitehead and some
men engaged on the building of
his new house. They ran at once
to the doctor's ass:stance, and
finding he was evidently badly
hurt, telephoned at once for Dr.
Huycke. A stretcher was procured
and the injured man conveyed to
the hospital.
His injuries were found to consist of two broken ribs, the fracture
of a small bone at the base of the
skull, and several bad bruises. His
hurts were attended to and later
reports state that he has now re-.
covered consciousness and is progressing favorably.

Improvements at the Local
Telephone Office
Mr. Millie and his staff at the
telephone.office have been having
strenuous times this week. A complete rearrangement of the switch
boards have been effected, the
boards having been moved from
the front office to the back—no
small undertaking, as will be realized from a peep behind the scenes
at the tangled maze of hundreds
and hundreds of wires and cables
running in all directions. Mrs.
Johnson and her telegraph department have been moved to the front,
a more convenient plan, as the
telegraph office needs to come into
more direct contact with the public, than the central telephone exchange.
The change will mean a
decided improvement to the service, as the work during rush hours
can now be divided between two
operators. An additional new
board has also been installed to
meet the growing requirements of
town. The whole history of the
telephone exchange is one of
steady growth, and at the present
time " Central" is perhaps the
busiest little spot in town. A
large consignment of new 'phones
i» on its way, and already they are
nearly all applied for.

Kelowna, June 14th
Editor Orchard City Record,
Dear Sir,—It cannot but give
general satisfaction to witness the
willingness with which the Volunteer Fire Brigade turns out for
practice ih the general interest of
the city, but to use them and the
fire-fighting apparatus to wage war
and destruction against the swal-
laws homing in the city seems a
piece of wanton destruction and
cruelty.
All over the land the children
are taught to love and protect the
birds' nests, but the example given
them Tuesday night, when all the
swallows' nests on the schoolhouse
were carefully destroyed, would
certainly not tend to give them any
regard for the teaching.
Thanking you for the space in
your valuable paper,
I am, yours truly,

of late potatoes.'. The exhibit does'
not necessarily need to belong to
one individual, but may be exhibited by a Department of Agriculture,
Farmers' Organization, or by
District. The main point is that
the One Thousand Dollar Stilwell
Trophy is to be given for the best
exhibit of potatoes represented by
marketable quality, smooth appearance, flush eyes and uniformity of
size. The yield of each variety
per acre, which acre must be
officially surveyed, must be, sworn
to by the grower, and attested by
two or more reputable witnesses.
It will readily appear to you, that
that the winning of a trophy of this
character will advertise your prov-

anxious that one. or all of the four

Will it not be possible for your

We would like to have a reply
from you stating what you would
be prepared to do in the way of
gathering this exhibit."

Fruitgrowers' Assoc,
and Reciprocity
The Board of Directors of the
B. C. Fruit Growers' Association,
of which Mr. R. H. Agur, of Summerland, is president, held a meeting af Kamloops on June 3rd, last,
particularly to consider the proposed reciprocity agreement.
The following resolution was
passed as the result of their deliberations :
" Whereas, there has been introduced in the Federal House a Bill
to promote reciprocal trade with
the United States; and whereas,
the proposed reciprocal agreement
Will permit free trade in fresh fruits
and vegetables, and whereas, the
proposed reductions in duties will
have the effect of reducing the
prices of our products in Canadian
rharkets,
'' " Be it resolved, (I) That we,
the Directors of the British Columbia
Fruit Growers' Association put ourselves on record as condemning the
proposed reciprocity agreement
between Canada and the United
States, as being detrimental to the
fruit industry of British Columbia;
and (2) That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Minister
of Agriculture of British Columbia;
to the Boards of Trade of the
Province ; to the Agent General of
the Province in Great Britain ; to
all the members of the Dominion
House from British Columbia; the
Press generally, and the Federal
Ministers of Agriculture and Finance at London."
The    resolution   was    carried
unanimously.
" Some time has elapsed," writes
the secretary, Mr. R. M. Winslow,
" since this agreement was brought
•down in the  House   at   Ottawa.
The interval has given time for
consideration of all probable results of free trade on our fruit and
vegetable industry. The resolution
comes then with peculiar strsngth
as the product of serious consideration on the part of our foremost
fruit growers.
" Whatever may be the effect of
reciprocity in its various other items
it is the unanimous opinion of our
directors that it will have a" detrimental effect on our fruit industry
and it is therefore to be vigorously
opposed by all the legitimate means
in our power."
In Loving Memory of Thomas
JXtcGarrity,
Who Died Jprll 30th, 1911.
Fold his hands for his work is done,
Lay tne cross on his breast,
Passed is the strife and din of life,
Now cometh the longed-for rest.
Smooth the hair on his   ice   cold
brow,
Seamed with sorrow and care,
Wrinkled by age but unmarked by
guilt,
No sordid line is there.
Clean and blameless, his long hard
life,
Cheerful, kindly and true,
Honest and upright,-ah ! dear  old
friend !
I wish there were m^re like you.
Tenderly, lovingly, lay him down
In his bed so quiet and deep,
Here no sorrow, no sound of earth
Can break his dreamless sleep.
But the warm sunbeams he prized
so much,
The birds he loved so well,
The sweet wild flowers will nestle
here,
God rest thee, dear friend,   farewell !

The Queen last was presented
with a cheque for £12,500, which
was subscribed in small sums by
her namesakes of the Empire as a
coronation gift. The Queen wished
to devote the amount to charities
but the collecting committee . was
insistant that the gift was a personal one, and the Queen therefore
consented that part of it should be
devoted to the purchase of the diamond insignia of the Order of the
Garter, and for portraits of King
George and the Prince of Wales.
In her letter of acceptance of the
gift the Queen says: "I look forward with special satisfaction to
devoting the remainder of this
noble gift to a charitable oblect in
which I am greatly interested." The
Queen has not divulged the name
of the charity. The overseas contributions were headed by Canada
whose Marys sent £700.

Ellison District Notes
(From'our own correspondent)
Dr. MATHISON
Dentist
Master Geen is slowly recovering from his painful accident.
On Saturday last several of our
residents visited Mrs. McKinney at
Okanagan Centre, where a very
enjoyable afternoon was spent.
Some person or persons ate
constantly breaking open the gates
on Mr. G. Watt's farm behind
Bulman's, and damaging the locks
beyond repair, letting out the stock
placed therein for ' safe keeping.
Unless this annoyance ceases, the
aid of the law will be invoked
and the offenders called upon for
damages. ^
Mr. Bulman has lost a valuable
cow during the past week. It is
supposed to have been accidentally
poisoned.
Potatoes are in bloom on Mr.
Guest's ranch. The land round this
district will take some beating for
earliness. What think you, Mr.
Editor ?
Don't forget the poultry meeting
at the Schoolhouse on the 19th.
During the past fortnight our
local poetical friend has been
suffering from a severe attack of
" Cut-wormitis," and during the
worst period of his mental aberration, we managed to understand a
little of the nature of his ravings.
The following is the result :
How doth the busy cut worm,
Eat everything that's green,
And spoil the beauteous orchard,
Owned by our dear friend G- -n.
And then it goes to B -1 s
And calls to see M - ke H— - -n
Then stays a while on W - -1 - ns,
And does'nt care a durn.
It strolls around to Sunny Bray,
And visits Mr. G - - -1,
Then round the barn once owned
by Bray,
It settles for a rest.
But see, the orchardist comes round
And with him Harry V - - n,
And with them is old Donald bold
and lots of Paris green.
Yes, Paris green that's mixed with
bran
And also sugar sweet,
They spread   it  all   around   the
-»     ground,
To give those worms a tieat.
And then those worms turn up
their toes,
And they've sure got a lot.
WhileS-Ik and V--n will, wish
I ween,
They're in the place that's hot.

After a discussion which lasted
nearly all day, the Presbyterian
General Assembly in session at
Ottawa approved of the recommendation of the board of trustees
to that effect. The vote stood 132
to 97, but later it was made unanimous and almost without exception theie was general satisfaction
that the vexed question that had
dragged its devious course over a
I decade in the church courts had
been settled.

THE  KICKER.
An    Entirely   Different   Sort   of   Man
Fn m the Growler.
There is u world of (JU'lVn ..;•<■ I»>-
Hveen tin' uiau who. kicks und I lie uum
who growls.
Tho lUiin who kicks—who truly, earnestly nnd honestly kicks—is a sond
kind of uiiin to have about. fie kicks
because things are not ns thc.v should
bo. and ho proposes to correct them
Tho man who growls is merely a negative quality. He may kuow that things
arc uot going right, bul he hasn't
any idea of trying lo do anything
about It. He just sits round and torn
plains.
You remember Mark Twain's story
ulioiit the "kicker and how successful
he was in securing everything that belonged to lilm. He was a producer in
the best sense of the word, just us
every man who kicks in the right way
is rertain lo lie. You probably know
just such men- men who are chronic
kickers. Let anything go wrong and
i hey go "up in I lie air" iu a minute.
but you can depend upon It that that
particular thing will never go wrong
again If they can prevent it.
A kicker may not be the most agree
able person to have around, yet he Is a
healthful factor in almost any estab
lishment. lie has his faults, but It
is possible lo overlook them for the
sake of the productive value that he
represents.
As to the gro\yler—there seems to
be no place for him tn tho work of
the world. He may complain loudly
and whine and fall, about other people, but he remedies no faults, he repair., no leaks—he just makes trouble.
That Is the diffrence between the
kicker and the growler.—Business!
WEB OF. THE SPIDER,
Thousands of Strands In Each of Its
Silky Threads.
For a long time the web of the spider was supposed to be a simple
strand of wavy silk, but later it was
found that such was far from being
the case.
Under the microscope we can get at
the secret of the spinning very nicely
We see that there are either four or
six teats on the spider near the lower
part of the abdomen, almost exactly
similar to the teats of a cow. From
these issue four or sis strands, as the
ease may be. But these strands themselves are not simple, but are composed of at least a thousand fibers
each, for it has beeu proved that in
each teat there is a sieve of at least
a thousand holes, through which the
_:il!:.v matter is strained. Thus we see
thai, tine as is a spider's web, it Is ye)
rr.:.r:osed of from 4,000 to 0,000 fibers.
I.euwciihoeck states that It would take
at least 4,000,000 of the completed
threads to make a thread as strong as
a silk thread of the size of a hair.
As'lo the color of the thread, our
ordinary . piders spin one of a uniform
gray color. But In the riotous tropics
there are found spiders that spin varl
colored webs. One particularly pra
duces red, yellow and black threads,
which It binds together with n pleasing color effect.
In the thread of the spider lies dormant a great industry once It Is properly studied.—Popular Magazine.
