It was thought\nthat a sufficient quantity would be required by the members of the organization to make it possible to order a carload lot of various foodstuffs which\nwould be bought for cash and a substantial saving effected.\nIt was also announced at the meeting\nthat J. R. Terry, ^an expert poultryman,\nwould lecture here on April 5 when\nM. A. Jul], secretary of the provincial\nassociation would also'probably be in\nattendance; a new points scoring card\nfor the use of judges at exhibitions was\nadopted, and a very interesting lecture\non poultry raising under local conditions was given by Thomas.

He\nTead a number of replieB which stated\nthat the wholesalers would give quotations on receipt of specifications, that\neverything in the feed line with the exception of hay could be brought in ln\na mixed car, that the minimum weight\nfor a carload was 20 tons and that carload lots were Bold only on a cash basis.\nThe secretary of the Cowichan Creamery association wrote advising that the\nlocal organization write to a firm in\nCalgary for quotations for carload lots.\nM. A. Jull, secretary of the Provincial\nPoultry association, wrote congratulating the association on its increased\nmembership, on the decision to hold a\nshow in December and the success being achieved by its members and advocated co-operation very strongly. With\nregard to purchasing foodBtuffB in carload lots he suggested writing to the\nmilling companies and grain growers'\nassociations In Alberta and Saskatchewan for information.\nIt was mentioned in the discussion\nthat followed that at CreRton foodstuffs\nwere being purchased tn carload lots\nthrough the Farmers' Institute. The m^\u00ab\njorlty of the poultry raisers present said\nthat they were at present using No. 4\ngrade wheat but tiie general opinion\nwaB that a higher grade would prove\nmore economical. \"It ls a waste of\nmoney to buy poor feed,\" eald Thomas\nKeith. C. Gansner held that No. 4 was\ngood enough. It was decided on motion\nof A, Q. Nock, seconded by T. A. Wright\nthat the secretary should be instructed\nto obtain from the members of the association and ranchers and others who\ncared to Join, tbe amount of foodstuff\nthey were in a position to take at some\ndefinite date, say one month hence, and\nthat if the auantity were sufficient to\nmake a carload lot to go ahead and\norder it after the secretary had received\nquotations from milling companies and\ngrain growers' associations and any\nother organizations or wholesalers who\nmight tender quotations. It was also\nagreed that Bamples should he obtained\nfrom the vendor of the carload lot in order that a check might be kept upon\nthe quality of the goods and that quotations should be obtained on flour in addition to foodstuffs for poultry and\n\u2022other farm stock. It was pointed out\nthat flour could be brought In under\nthe mixed car rate.\nNew Judging Score Card\nMr. Jull also wrote stating that a new\npoints scoring card for the use of the\njudges at poultry exhibitions and fairs\nhad been adopted by the provincial association and recommending that the local organization adopt it.

A gathering of\nabout 40 reciprocity men had ensconced\nthemselves in the gallery from which\nthey continually hurled interruptions.\nThen Mr. Sifton nnd Prof. Leacock\nwere placed in a carriage drawn by\nstudents and the route to the Windsor\nhall was taken up. Half way to the hall\nthere was an organized rush of the reciprocity men to the carriage and It was\noverturned and Mr. Sifton and the professor were compelled to walk the rest\nof the distance. The carriage was recaptured and taken up to the McGill\ngrounds.\nHere It was filled* with -wood and set\non fire. The fire brigade was called to\nput the fire out. Once more gaining\npossession of the remaining parts of the\nvehicle the students drew it through\nthe principal streets adding to the hilarity of the occasion by breaking car\nwindows and a few store windows. The\npolice so far had not interfered to any\ngreat extent but when the procession\nreturned to the McGill grounds they\nmade up their minds that it was time\nfor the students to disperse. A ruBh was\nmade and there was some clubing.\nsome of the students beat a retreat to\nthe Y.M.C.A. pursued by the police. The\nstudents got but the hose of the building\nand turned it on the blue coats whom\nthey also assailed with snow balls. The\npolice finally won out and the students\nwere dispersed. Several arrests were\nmade.\nDisapprove of Reciprocity\nMONTREAL, March 2(1\u2014Hon. Clifford\n\u2022Sifton was the principal speaker at the\nantt-rectproclty league's meeting tonight in Windsor hall. The hull is not\nlarge and so admission was by ticket,\nthe result being a gathering of leading\nbusiness men and one thoroughly in\nsympathy with the speaker. An overflow meeting held outside was hardly\nas successful, the conditions not being\nfavorable. Students hauled Mr. Sifton\nIn a torchlight procession to the hall.\nCharles Chnpul, president of the league,\npresided and with him on the platform\nwere many of the leading citizens of\nMontreal, including a considerable number of Liberals.\nPalled to Make Good\n\"I have been in politics for 21 years,\"\nconcluded Mr. Sifton, \"but never before\nhave I seen a government bring down\nan important measure to parliament\nand so entirely fail to make good in argument as the government has done\nin this case. The government has to-\ntaly failed to put before parliament or\nbefore the people of Canada a fair,\ncomprehensive statement of statistics\nwhich are necessary before any one\ncan have a fair view of this question.\nPremium on Bad Farming\n\"The bad feature of this proposition\nIs that It puts a premium upon bad\nfarming and shipping of Canada's products to a foreign country, there to be\nworked up at a profit, while they send\nto us what we are able to buy in\nmanufactured products at enhanced\nprices.\"\nSpeeches were also made by C.

Tierney Issues Warning\u2014No Immediate Famine but Strike Likely\nSays Calgary Paper\nWhile there is no immediate danger\nof a coal famine, W. P. Tierney, the\nwell known local wholesale coal merchant, stated yesterday that the situation was such that he thought It advisable that the general public should be\nwarned that a serious shortage of the\nblack fuel during the late summer and\nfall was quite within the bounds of possibility owing to the Inability up to the\npresent, of the Crow's Nest operators\nand the employees to come to an agreement on the closed shop and other questions at issue.\n, \"I don't wish to cause a scare,\" said\nMr. Tierney, \"but it cannot be denied\nthat the situation is not altogether satisfactory. This is clearly indicated by\nan article which appeared the other\nday in the Calgary Herald, which gives\nan account of the progress, or lack of\nprogress, which is being made by the\ncoal operators and the representatives\nof the unions at Calgary where a conference Is being held. This article is\nin line with Information that I have received from other sources.\n\"As I said before, I don't wish to\nalarm the public but would like to give\na gentle hint that if they wish to be\nabsolutely certain of being supplied\nfor the rest of the year with coal they\nwould do well to make preparations now\nbefore a strllte really occurs with the\nsubsequent shortening of the supply.\nAt the present moment I can obtain all\nthe Gait coal that is required\u2014but I\nwouldn't guarantee to do so six or nine\nmonths from today. There Is no definite news of a strike but I would not be\nsurprised to see one.\"\nThe article Mr. Tierney refers to is\nas follows;\nWith the reopening of negotiations\nbetween the coal miners and the operators which Is scheduled for Monday\nnext in this city, conjecture is now\nbusy as to what the ultimate result will\nbe of the conference between employ\ners and labor.\nAccording to inside information received by the Herald, a strike is almost inevitable. It may not come nt\nonce, but eventually It will come and\na great struggle Is looked for. In anticipation of trouble the railroads have\nbeen busy exerting their best energies\ntoward piling up a big visible supply\nof coal and it is said that the Canadian\nrailroads that depend upon Alberta and\nthe Crow's Nest Pass for their fuel have\non hand a six months supply..\nClosed Shop Question\nThe split is expected to come on\nthe closed shop question. Miners demand a closed shop, operators will not\naccede. It Is said that the operators\nare in favor of leaving the matter to\na board of arbitration for settlement\nbut the miners have not given any indication of being at all likely to agree\nto this method. The present agreement\nwith the miners expires on March 31\nand if it Is not renewed to the satisfaction of both parties Interested it will\nnaenn a strike on April 1.\nThere is an opinion expressed that\nthe miners do not really want to come\nto any binding agreement for 18 months\nyet. The agreement of the mine workers of Montana and of British Columbia are said to expire then and it is\nthought that the miners of Alberta are\ngoing to try and put off any really definite action until these agreements\nhave run out. Then they can unite\nwith the unions of Montana and British\nColumbia in making their demands with\ngreater hopes of success.\nMay Postpone Negotiations\nIf they follow this campaign It is\nthought that they will agree to the temporary postponing of tbe decision of\nthe present negotiations, extending the\ntime of existing agreements from time\nto time until the proper time comes\nwhen they will join forces with the\nother mine unions. Then, if this comes\nto pass, the biggest strike that has\nbeen witnessed in the west will com\nmenee, lt is feared, and coal mining\nfrom the Pacific through the plains east\nof the Rockies will come to a standstill\nfor an indefinite period.\nThe negotiations now about to bo resumed affect the mines of Canmorc,\nBankhead, Lethbrldge and up the\nCrow's Nest Pass. There are a few independent operators at Taber and\nin the north, but what their stand will\nbe Is not known. It was thought when\nthe conference broke up here a few\ndays ago that the miners wanted to\ntake up negotiations with the Independent operators before they resumed the\ndeliberations with the operators' association, but whether this has been done\nIs not known.\nTHIRTY-SIX SUITES\nOF APARTMENTS\nPlans   for   Kerr   Block   Nearly   Completed\u2014Granite for Building Being Taken From Site.\nA remarkable feature of the new\nKerr' npartment house, which is in\ncourse of construction on Victoria\nstreet near the opera house, Ib that\npractically all the granite for the\nbuilding and tbe sand tor mortar mak-\nlng purposes is being toaen from the\ntwo lots upon which the structure will\nstand.

In consequence of which values\nhave risen gradually from $1600 to\n$2000 per acre and It ls considered good\nbuying at these advanced prices by\nshrewd and experienced dealers ln acreage. The south shore of lake Burnaby\nis undoubtedly destined to be one of\nthe choice residential spots of Greater\nVancouver, where values will steadily\nimprove. Vegetation ts rank and the\nfortunate ideal home seeker who secures his settlement beside the peaceful waters of this beautiful lake will\nbe envied in the future. Already in anticipation, of the early opening of the\nnew electric line many new homes are\nbeing added and more contemplate\nbuilding as soon as the line is in operation, which is only a matter of a lew\ndays now. When it is remembered that\nthis district is but 20 minutes from\nthe centre of the city via the new route,\nwith its many superior advantages over\nother districts of a similar distance,\nsome idea as to the future of this district may be gained. Many new roads,\nsidewalks and other municipal improvements are also under way which when\ncompleted will put lake Burnaby south\nin the first ranks of Greater Vancouver's rapidly developing suburbs.\n\u25a0For three years we have steadily advised all our clients tb invest\nbetween Burnaby lake and New Westminster. We stated repeatedly\nthat values were too low com-pared with South Vancouver, North\nVancouver and other districts.\nValues have steadily advanced with the growth of New Westminster, but during the last three months everything in the locality has\nalmosct doubled in value.\nThis ls no boom by real es tate agents, but is caused by the immense amount ot development taking place everywhere.\nThe greatest factor is the new B. C Electric line from Vancouver to Chilliwack via Burnaby lake. This line will be opened ln a few\ndays and will be the scenic air line between the cities. No grades,\nfast palatial cars, and the rush to secure homesites on beautiful lake\nBurnaby and Deer lake between the cities ls hound to send prices skyward.\nWe are just putting on a new addition of 300 lots adjoining New\nWestminster city limits. The new oarllne runs through It. There\nwill be a station on the property. Every lot commands a view of\nthe carllnes, railways, manufacturing district, the Fraser and Port\nMann just across the river.

A few minutes later the man\nwas overpowered and taken to the\nlockup, where he gave the name of\nJ. B. Rowlands of Creston, B. C. He\nsaid lie had bought a sheepskin coat\nand a shotgun in Calgary, and that he\nwas looking for Shoito Douglas, and\nwas going to pay him back in bis own\ncoin. He also mentioned another\nCreston business man whom he was\nanxious to introduce to his gun, which\nwhen examined was found to contain\ntwo loaded shells. It was found tbat\nthe man was In an advanced stage of\ndelirium tremens, and after being nt\nthe Red Deer lockup for two days was\ntaken to the N. W. M.

To have\na great future a country must have a\ngreat area. To be a small \"independent\" country is not to be independent\nat all. It is to be a pawn In tbe game\nof the great powers, to have no security\nfor national existence, to live on the\nsufferance of greater states, Whether\ncountries like Holland and Belgium\nshall exist or cease to exist, depends\nnot upon themselves or tbe will of their\npeople but upon the will of the great\npowers. And in the great affairs of\nthe world at large they have no voice.\nAs a nation In the British Empire\nIreland will have security and assurance for her future. With England\n\"off the map\" she might become an outpost Tor France or Germany. As citizens of the British Empire the people of\nIreland will have a voice in the general\naffairs of the civilized world,\u2014in \"world\npolitics.\" So when Mr. Redmond says\nthat the Irish whom he represents are\n^willing if they are given Home Rule to\ntake their place in the Empire there is\nsome reason for believing him.\nMlnard'a Liniment Co.,  Limited.\nGentlemen,\u2014Tiie odor e Doris, a customer\nof ini.it>, was completely cured ot rlieu-\ninatism after five years nf Buffering, by\nthe judicious use of MINARD'S LINIMENT.\nTiie above facts enn be verified by writing Io him, to the Parish Priest or any ol'\nhis neighbors.\nA.

A committee consisting of six members of the legislature\nwas appointed to proceed with the matter.\nOn March 13 the legislature adopted\n'by a vote of twenty-three to six a :\ntion in favor of the proposal and for\nthe opening of negotiations with the\n'Dominion government.\nThe Bahamas are of some historic interest as containing the first land discovered by Columbus in North America.\nThey are also of importance as being\nthe most northerly of the WeBt India\nIslands and the nearest source of supply\nof the characteristic products of those\nregions. The farmers of Manitoba and\nDakota cannot very well sell wheat to\neach other, but the products of Canada\nand the West Indies are such that each\nlargely supplies what the other wants,\nand thus offers to the other a market\nmuch larger than would be the case\nwith much larger populations whose\nproducts  were  mainly  similar.\nUnion with Canada would augment\nthe prosperity of the islands and of\nthe Maritime provinces. It might also\nlead to tbe admission of other West\nIndia islands and avert the possibility\nof their applying for annexation to the\nUnited States.\nBut the Ottawa government turns a\ncold shoulder to the proposal. Is this\none of the first results of the reciprocity agreement in. restricting our freedom of notion? As part ot the Dominion the West Indies would under the\nreciprocity agreement get their fruit\ninto the United States free. Washington does not want that; neither does\nWashington desire anything that would\nload the West Indies away from annexation to the United States.\nSimilar obstacles will exist after tbe\nagreement comes into force. If Newfoundland should desire to come into\nthe Dominion there will be objections\nfrom Washington which would be in a\nposition to Bay that it did not contemplate giving free admission to Newfoundland fish when it made the agreement. Washington will say that, if Newfoundland comes into the Dominion,\nCanada must make substantial additional concessions to the United States or\nthe latter will abrogate the agreement.\nSTEP TOWARDS\nCO-OPERATION\n(Continued trom page one.\ning card is as follows: Freshness, 30\npoints; quality of yolk, 10 points; quality of white, 10 points; texture of shell,\n10 points; size, 15 points; cleanliness\nand bloom, 15 points; uniformity of\nshape and color 10 points.

Several letters of enquiry\nfrom poultry raisers in various parts of\nthe Kootenay were also dealt with.\nAdvocates Mixed Feeding\nMr. Keith, in his adress on poultry\nraising under local conditions, advocated the used of mixed feed for poultry.\nHe stated that he was using oats, corn\nmillet seed and wheat with great, sue;\ncess. During the winter he found it\nadvisable to give the birds a small\nquantity of barley which served to keep\nthem warm. It was essential that they\nshould have plenty of green stuff, such\nas alfalfa and clover. He also fed his\nbirds with bran and shorts. He bad\ncarried out this method of feeding for\nthree years and last year had received\na revenue of $0.41 from each bird. He\ngave figures showing the number of\neggs obtained from his flock of poultry\nwhich at present numbered 4_. In\nDecember last this number laid 572\neggs, in January 520, in February 481.\nand during the present month up to date\n497.\nIn tbe morning he fed them with\nwheat, crushed corn and oafs. The oats\nshould be whole if possible hut he found\nthat the birds throve on the crushed\nvariety. He mixed this feed into a\nmash and added a little millet when the\nprice was not too high. In the winter\nbe gave tho food slightly warm. For\nmedicinal purposes he supplied tbo birds\nwith charcoal two or three times a\nweek; fresh cut hone four times a week,\nand gave them plenty of grit and oyster\n.Afraid to Eat ?.\nDoes the fear of indigestion spoil the enjoyment of\nyour meals?

Poor iialr and final baldness are due\nto the dandruff germ.\nNewbro's Herpicide will destroy this little\ngerm and stop the hair from falling. Further evidence of this Is found in a letter\nfrom Mrs. F. Nellson, of Toman, Wis.\nShe writes: \"I fought the worst kind of\ndandruff for nine years. I have been using\nHerpiclde now one week, and my scalp\nIs healthy, tiie dandruff 1ms gone and the\nitching has stopped. It is the best remedy\nfor scalp disease I ever saw, and 1 have\nseen many.\"\nDon't subject yourself to disappointment\nand expense by accepting something claimed to be \"just as good\" as Newbro's Herpiclde. These off brunds may possibly be\ngood, but why take chances? The genuine\nand original dandruff germ destroyer can\nalways be obtained. If your own druggist\nhas nothing but \"just as good\" articles,\ngo to the Poole Drug company, who will\nfurnish you with Newbro's Herpiclde and\nguarantees one dollar size bottles.

Dr. Jones ascertained that MIsb\nCowap, the domestic science teacher,\nmade the purchases, with the moral\nsupport of Dr. Arthur, who stood by\nwhile she did it, and that the utensils\nwould be used when Miss Cowap was\nready. She remarked that the city was\npaying 6 per cent for money, to which\nMr. Joy made the retort that by purchasing at that time\u2014during the Ashdown sale\u2014the board made a saving of\n40 per cent.\nAt almost the beginning of the session Dr. Jones appropriated Dr,\nArthur's file of correspondence from\nthe table and perused It for about half\nan hour while the other trustees discussed some details of management.\nThe meeting was not all polemical,\nand quite a quantity of business that\nhappened to be non-contentious was\ndispatched.\nBeautify Grounds.\nWilliam   Irvine, chairman, and   Dr.\nArthur were  empowered   to  place  an\norder for valves- for the standplpe in\nthe public school annex*.\nOn motion of Mr. Joy and Dr. Jones,\na committee was appointed to arrange\nfor the setting out of trees around the\npublic school grounds, aud to report on\nthe cost of constructing a boulevard\nand of lying a cement sidewalk on three\nsides of the square. The chair named\nas the committee Messrs, Joy, Emory\nand Arthur.\nAnother resolution provided for experimenting with a cinder surface on a\nsmall portion of the playground of the\npublic school.\nOn motion of Messrs. Joy and Emory,\nU was decided to order two new flags,\nto float over the schools. Dr. Jones\nasked how they were to bo paid for, and\nIf from the concert fund. She desired\nto embrace two bells in the motion, to\nbe placed on the roofs of the schools,\nbut her suggestion was not acted upon.\nPermission was granted to the teachers to attend the provincial teachers'\nconvention, to Ire held at Victoria on\nApril 17*11).

M.\nMay. principal of the public school.\nMr. Mny's idea is to have the afternoon\nof that day devoted to a public gathering in (he assembly hall, with patriotic\nsongs, recitations and addresses.\nOn the recommendation of Principal\nSmillle of the high school it was decided to award a senior prize and a\njunior prize in the high school oratorical conl est, for which the use of\nthe assembly hall for April 7 was\ngranted.\nDr. Jones Suggests.\nDr. Jones   suggested   having a purchasing committee instead of the principals ordering supplies,\nShe also suggested a committee to\nhave the management of the nighl\nschool.\nShe advocated removing the oil from\nthe floors of the high school with lye,\nIn the interests of hygiene.\nDr. Jones also advised placing more\nstress on calisthenics for the girls of\nthe high school.\nShe referred to the eastern practice\nof expelling boys found with matches\nIn their possession, and suggested applying this ban here.\nDr. Jones asked whether Dr. Arthur\nhad ever thought of starting a kindergarten, and received a negative reply.\nShe stated one was needed greatly.\nMr, Irvine acquiesced In tills view, intimating it could start by teaching\ntrustees.\nWhen she saw the posters announcing the English Opera Singers, Dr.\nJones said she wondered whether she\nwere a trustee or not. Her colleagues\nreminded her that this attraction had\nbeen arranged for by the outgoing\nhoard, last. fall.

C, March 20.\u2014L. A,\nHamilton of Toronto, who for many\nyears was the land commissioner of\nthe Canadian Pacific railway with head\noffices In Winnipeg, and who Bince last\nNovember has been making a close\nstudy of agricultural conditions on the\nNile, writes to Canada from 000 miles\nup that river from the point of starting\non a trip in a dliahabyeh and sets forth\nsome of the points which go to show\nwhat labor is taken with irrigation and\nclearly points out the benefits that\nmust result aB otherwise for centuries\nthe people on this river's bankB would\nnot have been devoting their continuous energies to such a pursuit. He\nays in part:\n\"We are now in a district given up\nlargely to the growing of cotton, sugar,\nbarley, beans and date palms. AU the\nland must be irrigated in order to produce results. The water for this purpose Is taken from the Nile. It is distributed In small canals and ditches\nover the surface, as is done in the great\nCanadian Pncific railway irrigation\nwork that is going on in Alberta, and\nas is the practice in many of the smaller\nundertakings throughout British Columbia. The great difference, how-\nover, Is in connection with the labor\nthat the users have to go to tn order\nto obtain their meagre supply. In the\nprojects that every person In the western parts of America is familiar wtth\nthe water is simply taken out by being\ndiverted from its natural channel; here\nit is raised to .the land by saklehs\nworked hy cattle. These saklehs are\nendless ropes running over wheels\noperated by camel power or cattle. To\nthese ropes are attached earthenware\njars; the lowest on the wheel dip into\nthe water and fill up and then on rising empty naturally with the turn of\ntbo wheel, their contents being caught\nin a trough which allows the water to\nbe carried to the distributary.\n\"Many of the farmers, however, are\ntoo poor to own cattle, so if they wish\nto irrigate the water is lifted by\nshadoofs which consist of a bucket\nmado of goatskin. This is attached to\na long pole supported by a pivotal stick\nnear Its center and standing several\nfeet up from the ground. The other\nend of the pole has a lump of mud\nattached to lt, which acts as a counterpoise to the bucket. In this way the\nbucket is lowered from the bank into\ntho river by hand; the pole is then\nswung around and tho weight of the\ncounterpoise aids in lifting the loaded\nbucket on to the higher ground above\nthe river. The shadoofs always have\ntwo lifts, sometimes three, each lift\nbeing sny Beven feet high, which means.\nthat In a three-lift caso the water has\nto be elevated U feet in this slow and\nprimitive fashion before it reaches the\nreceptacle which conveys th to the distributaries. This operation Ib all hand\nlabor. Men scantily attired furnish the\npower and are paid 25 cents per day\nDon't Forget that\n\"J.
