Mayor Sutherland agreed that the sidewalk was quite necessary, but although the work would be done under the local improvement by-law, there were no funds available this year.and the matter would have to stand over to the new year. Aid. Dalgleish said it was against the principle of the Board, of Works to put in plank ^jdeyaUia, but in that case, the expense oi a cement sidewalk would be very great Attention was again drawn to the unsatisfactory nature of the work being done by the scavenger, and it was decided to engage . someone else as soon as his term of agreement expired. ' Mayor Sutherland said that at one time it had been difficult to get anyone to undertake the work, but at the present time there seemed to be quite a number who were anxious for the job. There were already some six or seven applications in. A plan of a subdivision submitted by S. V. Bray, was referred back tor alteration. The matter of bringing the newly acquired rock crusher into operation for the preparation of material for the roads in spring was discussed. Aid. Dalgleish said that if it were possible at all, the crusher be got to-work. If the work were left until January, it would run it pretty late. Winter was the most favorable time in which to do work of that kind. ^ Mayor Sutherland pointed out that however much they would like to it was impossible to expend any money this year. There was no appropriation for the purpose, and the work would have to be left for the new council to deal with. Aid. Jones said that as early in January as possible the crusher should be got to work, and as much rock as possible hauled into town in readiness for the spring work. The meeting then adjourned Monday next, December 18th. Results of Voting On Money By-laws The voting last Tuesday on the four money by-laws brought forward by the Council aroused rather morcinterest than usual, the vote polled, 141, being rather high for a vote on such a matter. The results were decisive enough in each case, large majorities being cast for three of the by-laws. . The other, to purchase the corner' of the park secured only 11 votes in its favor. No one, however, expected it to pass, the council's only object in submitting the matter being to shift the responsibility of its refusal upon the people themselves. The complete results for the four by-laws are as follows: By-law 98, to borrow $5000 to extend the Water and Light System- For, 115. Agst, 22, Spoilt, 4 Ry-law 99, to borrow $13,000 for the purchase , of land for sewerage purposes. For, 106. , Agst., 33. Spoilt, 2.

The Musical and Dramatic Society held their first concert of the seaion in the Opera House last Thursday. The attendance was somewhat meagre, which was to be regretted, aa the concert itst-lf was a really first-class affair, almost every item on the programme winning enthusiastic encores. The Society'8 Orchestra, led by Mr. Whitehead, contributed largely to the programme, their selections being highly appreciated. ; The rest of the programme consisted of songs by Mrs. J. Harvpy, Mr Tom. Hill. Mr. Geo. McKenzie, Mr. F. Pedlar, violin solo by Mr. Macbean, and a duet which won the loudest plaudits,- by Mrs. Harvey and Mr. Macbean. The orchestra was composed as follow : First violins, Mr. Macbean. Miss De Wolf. Miss Fraser, Mr. De Caqueray; second violins, Mr. D. W. Crowley and Mr. Dixon, viola, Mr. Meugens; 'cello Messrs.

Victoria Mr. John Dilworth, 129 Government Street, says the Colonist, has announced that hewould run, for alderman inWard Five. At the election last January Mr. Dilworth and Alderu.an Peden tied in the vote, the latter being awarded the honor by the returning officer on the ground that having been the longest resident in the city, he should be declared elected.. This principle has always been adopted where candidates run even. The chief plank in Mr. Dilworth's platform is the necessity of a better system of conducting civic business particularly in regard to street improvements. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS, 1912.

Many phases of the subject' were dealt with at the meeting of the society. held* ..Satiird ay afternoon and evening at'"■ Vancouver, in papers read by the members. In a brief address, the chairman, Mr. T. Wilson, Dominion fruit inspector, explained that the society had originally been formed in 1901, and later affiliated with the Ontario Entomological Society, but had-later been allowed to lapse until a month ago. Mr. R. C. Tre- herne, Dominion Superintendent of fumigation, spoke briefly, urging the ' importance of keeping in touch with Dominion entomological work; After the reading of reports from various fruit growing districts, Okanagan, Kootenay, Vancouver and Victoria, the following officers were elected for 1912:- President, T.

Gunther, Provin- incial superintendent of insurance has just issued, in bulletin form, a timely warning against carelessness in the matter of Christmas decoration. The extremely inflamable nature of much of the material used for decorating Christmas trees- etc., and the temptation from their pretty effect to usd lighted candles' or Chinese lanterns amongst them has resulted in many a serious disaster, in which the children who were being entertained were always the worst sufferers. Fires due to carelessness in connection with the decoration of stores, , churches, schools, and homes for the Christmas season, says the bulletin, are more numerous than is generally imagined. Complete statistics are not available but information collected' shows that such fires are numerous, costly from a money standpoint, and attended with much suffering and deplorable loss of life. It is estimated that last year there were 500 such fires in the United States. " It cannot be too often insisted that the majority of fires are preventable. Decorations are dangerous. There should be no carelessness.' The following are mentioned as common instances of carelessness: It is careless to tamper with electric wiring to produce or facilitate plays. To use cotton batten in a show- window and on or under a Christmas tree to represent snow. To allow the inexperienced and thoughtless to do the decorating; To hang inflamable material ;wherie it touches or may be blown or pushed against stove-pipes; steam-pipes, lamps, gas or electric light. 7 To use celluloid ornaments in decorating. To allow children to light can- dips on a tree. To leave matches where children can get them for that purpose. To allow childien to-touch an illuminated tree. To leave an illuminated tree un- watched. To allow paper and rubbish to accumulate in the premises and about the furnace, owing to pressure of business. The closing sentence of the bulletin is impressive :— " Let t here be no Christmas horrors in British Columbia." Rutland News. From our own correspondent. Literary Society. The Rutland Literary Society held its opening meeting Saturday evening last in the Hall. The Rev. D. J. Welsh gave an address most appropriate to the occasion on "The Value of the Study of Literatute." Mr. Welsh pointed out the pure pleasure and uplifting influence which comes from association with the best minds of all ages through their writings, and showed how the society which was being formed might be made a source of mutual impro'/ement and mental development to all its members. Mr. Welsh was listened to with the greatest interest, and was warmly thanked at the close. After the address the meeting took up the business of election of officers. Mr. Warden, the school principal, was: elected president, the Rev. Vance, vice-president, Mr. S. Gray, second vice-president, Mr. C H. Leathley, secretary, Mr. Blenkarn, assistant secretary and .Mrs. W. McDonald, treasurer. It was decided to hold the meetings every Friday evening, arrangements to be made for the use of the hall for the purpose. A committee was appointed to draft rules and arrange a syllabus. Several lectures and addresses it was mentioned had already been arranged, and there would be no difficulty in making each evening attractive and enjoyable. Quite a large crowd of people turned out Tuesday to the auction sale at Sprout's which was being conducted by Mr. Manly Byrns and some good prices were realized. Mrs. D. E. McDonald left last to spend the holidays with relations in Ontario. Mrs. Schell sr., and Miss Brandon 1 .after spending an enjoyable holiday, left on Tuesday for their homes in the east. The Lowering of Okanagan Lake Agitation for Carrying Out of the Scheme Again Being Renewed Card of Thanks Mr. E. W. Newton desires to thank the many friends for their kind sympathy and assistance during his recent bereavement. Mr. Frank Mawhinney has moved into the corner house nearer town, having had it renovated and improved. Next Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock in the .Methodist Church the Sunday School Teachers' Association will resume their monthly meetings for the Winter. The Rev. J. W. Davidson will lead a discussion on "The Teaching ot Missions in the Sunday School," to be followed by Mr. A. S. Wade on "The Teaching of Temperance in the Sunday School." Every Sunday School teacher should plan to attend this meeting, also the parents of the scholars. Mr. Macleay, sr., of Glenmore, and-his sister Mrs. Kendall, left this morning for Massachusetts, where they will spend the winter. James Madden, the victim of the park accident, left yesterday for his home in Scotland. Madden has now almost recovered from his injury, with the exception of his right eye, which is still considerably affected. He has still no recollection of coming to Kelowna or any of the unfortunate events which happened here. The officers and non-commissioned officers of the local squadron of the B. C. Horse are undergoing a course of training at the hands of Major Macdonald, Sarg- ant-major G. S. Collins, and Sarg- ant G. W. T. Malsden, who arrived from Winnipeg early this week for the purpose. The course will extend over three weeks. The aquatic pavilion and the park are being utilized for drill purposes. East Kelowna The usual fortnightly meeting of the East Kelowna Debating Society was held on the 8th inst There was a good attendance. A spirited debate took place on the subject as to whether a man has the right to dispose of his property according to his own free will and pleasure after he has fulfilled all the demands of the law. The affirmative was sustained by Messrs McKie and Leggatt, and the negative by Messrs. Beattie and New- bold. After hearing the arguments the meeting decided that the possession of money entails moral responsibilities as' well as legal ones. Members please note that the next meeting, at which a paper on Macbeth will be read, will be held on Friday next the 15th inst instead of on the 22nd. 7__ Items from Ellison (From bur own correspondent.) An amusing episode took place in this district a few days ago. A well known young man who possesses a fine saddle horse, had the misfortune to lose it. It was thought the animal would take to the hills, but having been used to visit a farm where a sweet lassie "frae bonnie Scotland" had been staying, it made straight for there and went into the stable, until its owner fetched it. It has been arranged to hold the official opening of our new school on Tuesday January 2nd 1912, when the Hon. Price Ellison and A. E. Millar Esq., school inspector are expected to be present. The committee in charge are arranging to have a first class concert, to be followed by an elegant supper which will be served in the basement after the concert is over. , The question of lowering the level of Okanagan Lake has been the subject of innumerable petitions and deputations and agitations extending over a number of years, and the matter is being revived now by ja petition which is being circulated up and down the lake. The scheme has often been discussed, and most people are familiar with the proposal to dredge the river below Penticton, enlarging the outlet from the Okanagan into Dog Lake, thus lowering the level some three or four feet. .Government engineers have reported several times on the scheme, which they have declared quite feasible, in fact, considerable dredging has been done during the last year or two by the Government with a view to rendering the river navigable. The work, however, has not been sufficient, and the river is still too narrow and dangerous for steamers of any size. What is wanted is a little more vigorous handling of the problem so that some really effective work could be done. During the recent visit of the Hon. Martin Burrell, this was one of the questions dealt with by the deputation which waited upon him from the Conservative Association, and he promised his support to any petition which might be pre-, sented to the Govenment. Mr. H. W. Raymer, on behalf of the Association, has prepaied the following petition which will be orwarded for signature to all points on the lake interested in the project. Mr. Raymer it might be said was the 'first to take the question lip some seventeen years ago, having waited upon Mr. J. A. Mara, the then member for Yale- Cariboo in the Dominion House. The enormous advantage of the scheme to Kelowna, where so much good land might be reclaimed if the lake were low enough to afford proper drainage is apparent. Many difficulties ennnected with the installation of a sewerage system would be solved if the water table on the low levels were lowered even two or three feet. The development which is going on up and down the lake makr-s it imperative that there should be ' no delay in the carrying out bf the scheme. New wharves are;being added every year, and the expense of accommodating these to the lower level might in a few years be considerable. The following is the wording of the petition: To the Honorable the Minister of Public Works, Ottawa, Canada. This petition of the residents of th« several towns and settlements adjacent to the Okanagan Lake, in the Province of British -Columbia. County of Ya!e, 4*un_b!" showeth that WHEREAS Okanagan Lake in the Province and County aforesaid being, navigable waters and therefore under control of the Dominion Government, AND WHEREAS the natural outlet of said lake is bv Okanagan River, thence to Dog Lake a distance of approximately six miles between the two lakes, with a fall of approximately fourteen feet AND WHEREAS during high water Okanagan lake overflows its banks in many places owing to obstructions in the Okanagan river, such overflow being very injurious to the agricultural development of the Valley by the submergence of large areas of the most valuable land, being what is known as bottom lands AND WHEREAS several towns are situated along the shore of said lake, or in \ close proximity thereto the sanitary conditions of which are dependent in a large degiee upon proper drainage facilities AND WHEREAS Dog lake and Okanagan lake each being navigable waters, if dredging was systematically carried out and the waters of both lakes made mere m a level steamers could traversn from end to end. AND WHEREAS some work has already been done toward thia end, your petitioners would respectfully ask that you place a sufficient amount in the estimates to properly carry out the objects herein set forth and your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray &c. The Rev. J. W. Davidson spent last Sunday in Penticton, exchanging pulpits with the Rev. G. 0. Fallis.

The idea is that one such farm shalj be established in the first instance in the neighborhood of Victoria. About five acres of ground would be required and the initial expense would be about $8,000. After the first year, when the institution has been tried out and the necessary -experience obtained, two more similar farms would be established, one in the neighborhood of Vancouver and another somewhere in the interior. These poultry farms are not intended to be in any sense opsri- mental, but purely for demonstration purposes. It is calculated that they would be a great benefit to poultry fanciers, who would thereby be enabled to purchase birds of, s'.andard breeds and eggs for their incubators at a reasonable price. As things now are, British Colurr- bia poultry fanciers who desire to improve their stock are compelled to send back East for eggs or birds. • Lawyers Predominate In New Parliament.

B Christmas Present Specialist, Kelowna The Orchard Citu Record. Thursday, Dec. 14 THE ORCHARD CITY RECORD Published .very Thursday at ihe Office, Kelowna. B.C. JOHX LEATHLEY, Editor and Proprietor. Subscription $1.50 per annum. To United Slates $2.00 per annum. Advertising rates upon application. Only a few days more and another year will have run its course, and passed into history. At present Christmas presents and Christmas festivities are the uppermost considerations in most people's minds, but as soon as these are over, public attention will be turned to civic matters. With the close of the year comes the end of the present council's term of office and once more the citizens will have placed upon them the duty of electing new representatives to cany on the business of the city. As usual very little is definitely k lown as to who will be the candidates for public honors—public sacrifice would perhaps be a better term, for although no doubt the position of trustee of the city's interest and the city's progress and welfare carries no small honor, yet the man who essays to take a share in the running of the public business, if he do it honorably and well, must be prepared to make sacrifices of time and energy greater than the general public realize and certainly greater than as a rule they appreciate. It is the privilege of the man who pays the rates to kick—and he takes full advantage of it. If the council is enterprising, nnd bent on doing things, he kicks because the rates show an upward tendency. If they are economical and endeavor to keep down expense, he kicks because they do not in a single year provide all the conveniences of a big city. In short he kicks this way and that way, and sometime5? in all directions at once. Sometimes he has good reason to kick, but generally speaking his kicking should be a little more tempered with syrr- pathetic consideration for a body of men who are trying to do their best under adverse circumstances, and with little hope of reward. The coming year promises to be one of the most important in the history of Kelowna. It requires very little prophetic vision to foresee that during the next twelve surprises months many matters of the great est importance to the future of our city will come before the council Railway rumors are coming too thick and fast to remain rumors very long. The urgent demands of the district for transportation facilities, and the evident awakening of the various companies operating in the neighborhood to the need of complying with these demands will raise many vital problems involving concessions and negotiations which will require the strongest business heads in the city to deal with. The installing of a sewerage system, probably the most urgent need of the city at the present time, the question of acquiring the telephone system, etc., are all matters which can only with safety be entrusted to men with cool business ability, and an outlook broad enough to fully grasp the possibilities involved. It is to be regretted, perhaps, that Mayor D. W. Sutherland, should at this stage have signified his firm decision not to again contest the mayoralty. From several years experience, and enthusiastic study, Mr. Sutherland has become something of an authority on mun icipal matters, and his knowledge and experience would have been invaluable in the difficult tasks which will face the new council. He will however, it is understood, run for alderman. The only candidate, so far, definitely in the field for mayor, is Aid. J. W. Jones. In u.any respects Mr. Jones is well qualified for the position, Apart from his business experience and cool judgment he has ample leisure to devote his time and energy to the duties of the office—no small consideration when one thinks ofthe multiplicity of the demands on the time of the mayor of a growing city like Kelowna. He has been sufficiently long in the council to be thoroughly in touch with all the affairs of the city, and apart from his trip to Europe has certainly been the most closely attentive to city business. For some time past he has been collecting information on the subject of sewage disposal, and h?s accumulated a stock of data which should not be lost. There will be some change too in the list of aldermen, and from the rumors one hears, nomination day will be productive of some Learn to Shoot A NEW GUN FOR A PRIZE For the best five shots going every week.

The OAK HALL CLOTHING Co., Ltd. Captain James Mclntyre, a well known resident of Summerland, committed suicide last weelc\ by taking strychnine. Tha sad affair has aroused much sympathy for Mrs. Mclntyre and her five-year-old son, who are only out from the old country about six weeks. Henry Jones, who killed his wife last August, and I. Meirshi, a Japanese who murdered a tallow countryman in northern British Columbia, were hanged at New Westminster last week. England is at last making a desperate effort to clear her cities ol their degrading slums. Chancellor Lloyd George's Insurance bill has been altered to allow of sharp pressure being applied to the slum owner's pocket or the treasury of a neglectful local authority. The telephone train despatching system that has been used on the Canadian Pacific Railway ince August last has been abandoned and the former Morse telegraph system is again in effect. The change will be permanent as the telephone system was found unsatisfactory. Sir Edward Clouston will retire from the active management of the Bank of Montreal owing to ill-health Hon. A. J. Balfour, ex-leader of the Unionist party in Great Britain, will sail for Canada shortly in quest of health and to investigate investments made for him in Canada. The legislature of British Columbia has been called to meet on Thursday, Jan. 1 1. The British Columbia and Alaska Railway Company will apply to the legislature at ths coming session for an exten. sion of t me within which to commence work. Some changes are also proposed in the route. National Insurance Bill David Lloyd G'Oge's nation alii - surance bill pas?ed its third reading in-the house of commons last week by a vote of 234 to 2). The Unionists for the most pari abstained from voting, because, a? explained in the amendment moved by them, while approving the objects of the bill, they considered it had not been adequately discussed in :the'bouse. The bill passed its first reading in the House of Lords. Hon. Martin Burrell Addresses Quebec Fruitgrowers. The Hon. Martin Burrell, minister of agriculture, delivered an address last week before a gathering of the members of the Pomological and Fruit Growers' association of the province of Quebec. The minister of agricultnre ad" dressed the gathering as a practical pomologist who had spent many years in the fruit industry. He ad" vised the fruit growers of Quebec to establish a system of co-operation, as had fruit growers of the west, and stated that by this method alone they could achieve the greatest success. - ^~- He also gave a brief sketch of the result of the fruit growing industry in British Columbia. When you have a cold get a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It will soon fix you up all right and will ward off any tendency towards pneumonia.

Becoming annoyed at the ingratitude of his flock and their lazy indifference to the attention given them, a Summerland man entered the yard with a horse whip and put his hens through some lively stunts. He claims this treatment was just what was needed, for three days later the eggs began to accummul- ate. Mr. Greenfield, Inspector of Postal Service, Vancouver, will recommend the Dominion Government to build a general P< s office at Penticton, on the lines cf that at Vernon, at a cost of $50,000. It is expected the construction will commence in the early spring. M. J. O'Brien will oppose Mayor Husband for the chief magistrate's chair at Vernon for 1912. Mr. O'Brien was at one time mayor of Revelstoke. That the government intends to apply the rules regarding the dismissal of public officials in a reasonable and moderate way, and not to dismiss persons without convincing evidence of partizanship, was the statement of Premier Borden in the course oi a recent debate. The civic census taken by the police department of Kamloops gives the city 4266 inhabitants, an increase of 494 over the government figures. Premie Asquith announced inthe house of commons last week thatthe government would use all the constitutional means at its disposal to pass a home rule bill for Ireland during the lifetime of the present parliament. ^Processes of Manufacturing Pulp.' Three processes were used to manufacture into woodpulp the six hundred thousand cords cf pulpwood used in 1910. These are the mechanical or grinding process and the two chemical processes, which depend upon the use of sulphite ot soda. Statistics supplied by the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior show that wood used by the mechanical process formed over three-quarters of the* total during 1910, a greater percentage than at any time in the past. Unlimited supply, of clean water is a necessity in the manu-, facture of wood by the mechanical process so that Quebec is the province best adapted for it. Spruce furnished over four-fifths of the wood used for mechanical pulo. Balsam contributed one-sn t :enth, with small quantities of hemlock and poplar making up the balance. The sulphite process accounted for one fifth of the pulpwood and was used slightly more in Ontatio than in Quebec. Nearly seventy percent of the wood used in thia process was spruce, mostly from Ontario. Balsam furnished thirty percent, about three-quarters of which was from Quebec and the same province used a small quantity of poplar in this process. Barely two per cent of the total amount of pulpwood was manufactured by the soda process, although Canada has the distinction of having the oldest soda mill in America. Quebec manufactured over three-quarters of the pulp made by the soda process. This process was the principal method used in the reduction of hemlock. Of the total used by the soda process spruce formed seventy per cent, hemlock seventeen per cent and poplar ten per cent. Balsam is not adapted to the soda treatment.
