Present, Aldermen Buckland, Stirling,\nCurts and Gaddes.\nThe matter of passing by-laws to\nmake drunkenness an offence was\nbrought up. His Worship stated\nthat Chief Hidson had complained\n'that the decisions in court of Magistrate Burne, were such that it is\nalmost useless to arrest anyone at\nthe present time for drunkeness,\nMr. Burne claiming that under the\npresent by-laws, unless a man is\ndisorderly as well as being drunk,\nit does not constitute an offence.\nA by-law relating to.these matters\nis at present being amended byMr.\nBurne, and will be presented at the\nnext meeting.\nHis Worship then brought up a\nbill that ne had drafted, to reg-\nulate the hours for selling liquor at\nthe local houses. This bill had\nbeen under consideration by the\nCouncil for the past two or three\nmonths, and expert legal advice\nfrom Vancouver made it clear that\nthe city was within .its rights in\npassing such a by-law. .The\" by-\n- law read by the Mayor, was taken\nfrom similar by-laws enacted by\nthe Vancouver city council, relating to the same matter. According to the police reports, it is necessary to have the hours curtailed,\nor to have night watchmen. \u2022 His\nWorship further stated that, this\nby-law would certainly'reduce * the\namount of police work. > The class\n- of people mostly getting into\ntrouble, are \"the \"working men, who\nduring~the\" day have to attend to\ntheir work, doing their drinking at\nnight, He suggested also that the\ncurtailing of the said hours of business, might have the effect of making better workmen for the employers. Under the present provincial law, the only regulation relating to the liquor business, is the\nbars be closed up at. 11 p.m. on\non Saturdays. This allows bars to\nbe kept open at all hours, and the\n~police have been into one of the\nhotels - and broken up gangs at\n4 o-'clock in'-the morning. The\ncurtailed hours would not be a\nhardship on anyone, as there were\nno late boats coming in with travellers.\nThe by-law brought up by the\nMayor was read for the first time,\nand makes every licensed place\n_, close at a stipulated hour, on each\nnight of the week, until a stipulated\nhour in the morning; save only in\ncases where a requisition for liquor\nfor medical purposes, is presented;\nsigned by a medical practictioner.\nThere shall also be no liquor,\nwhether sold 'or not, consumed on\nthe premises during prohibited\nhours,-except by the licensee, his\nfamily or lodgers in the house, and\nany infraction of these regulations\nshall constitute an offence. All\nbar-rooms shall be so arranged\nthat a full view may be obtained\n\u25a0 during prohibited hours. No card\nplay or throwing of dice, whether\nfor money or drinks to be permitted\nin any licensed 'place. No Licensee\nshall permit any child under eighteen to frequent any bar, or room\nwhere liquors are sold.\nThe matter of regulating - the\n.billiard room was also brought up,\nAlderman Buckland stating that he\nhad been complained to by the\nfathers of some of the boys attending the' high school, who spent\n,, time in the billard room, that should\n- have been devoted to school duties.\nIff remarking on this'Aid. Gaddes\nsaid that when he had to appeal to\n- the city council to correct his boys,\nhe would consider that there was\nsomething, wrong with himself.\n- Aid. Buckland: . \"The chief\ncomplaint seems to be that they\nneglect their school work\".\n. Aid. Stirling: \"That is rather a\ncommon complaint with boys I\nthink\". ^ '\nA by-law, relative to this matter\nis being drafted by the city solicitor? and will probably' appear at\nthe next meeting.\nMessrs. Raymer, Dilworth and\nLawson appeared before the coun\ncil as a delegation from the Agri-'\ncultural and Trades Association,\nto submit a proposition that the\ncity take over the A! & T. grounds,\non the following conditions: That\nthe city pay off the present indebt-\nedess of the Association, about\n$2500.00. Paint the .buildings,\nand put same in \"good state, of repair. Increase grounds so as to\nhave a good race track. That the\nA. & T. Association shall have full\nuse of the buildings and grounds\nat fair time, and also that the A. &\nT, Association shall have all gate\nreceipts at fair time. The council\nfurthermore, to erect a high fence\naround the grounds.\nMr. Dilworth, in speaking for the delegation, said that the idea in bringing this\nproposition forward now, is that the matter\ncould\" be submitted to the people at the\nforthcoming elections.\nHis Worship the Mayor, brought up the\nmatter of barb wire fences alongside the\ncity sidewalks. Complaints regarding\nthese fences, had appeared in the 'Courier'\nand they were a nuisance and danger to\npedestrians. A resolution was passed\nstating that barb wire fences being a\nsource of danger to the public, owner\nshould be requested to remove them,\nwhere they are close to the sidewalks.\nThe renting of other offices as city\noffices was brought up by the city clerk,\nMr. Bigger having bought the present\nbuilding and intending to remove and\noccupy it shortly.\nMr. Curts presented the report of the\ncity scavenger and a letter askingfor an\nincrease in wages.\nThe insurance on the power house was\ndiscussed at length, and it was thought advisable to distribute the business among\nthe companies doing business here.\nMr.' Hurifer \"appeared before the council,\nto ask permission to cut certain guy wires\non the eity pole line system, which interfere with the moving of his building, and\nalso the cost of doing so. The matter was\nleft to the electrical engineers to deal with.\n' MOTIONS CARRIED.\n'- Buckland-Gaddes: That the following\naccounts be referred to the finance committee, and paid if found correct.\nJames Bros., fire bug connection8..$ 10 25\nGartsdone-Thompson Pipe' Foundry Co '. 299 25\nVancouver Engineering Works 1243 13\nPackhard Electric Co., meter II 55\nCanadian Ceneral Electrical Co.... 30 00\nF.

A rescue of these six\nwas planned, but the students met the revolvers of the constabulary and soon cooled\ndown. ' There were a number of free\nfights and cracked heads in the mix-up.\nThe meeting in the Presbyterian\nchurch on Monday night to discuss\nlocal option, was not very well attended, tho' some warm arguments\nwere raised for and against Local\nOption.\nThe Rev. H. P. Thorpe took the\nchair and opening with a short address, said : Our meeting tonight\nis - especially to consider local\noption, tho' not to be considered\nfrom a local standpoint only. I\nwould stand on equal grounds.and\nsay that drunkenness is a great evil.\nThe next great question seems to\nbe\u2014will local option do away with\nit ? Is it a remedy for this evil ?\nThere might be some here who\nwill be prepared to say yes, and\nsome may be prepared to say no.\nSome may think that we should go\nfurther than local option, and\nspeak of prohibition. \u2022 We want to\nconsider this thing carefully and\ncandidly. Those who are anxious\nto 'know how local option- will\nwork are invited to ask questions.\nFirst I will state what, local option\nis. I understand it to be, the power given to any locality to say\nwhether they will or will not -have\na licensed house. I am prepared\nto say that people have a right to\nhave their say in this. The majority should decide all questions 'of\nimportance. Is it a right thing,\nthat a few in authority should have\nthe right to say whether or not we\nshould have licensed houses ? The\ndeciding of these questions\nshould be in the hands of the\nKELOWNA'S LATEST\nSUCCESS AT SPOKANE.\nKELOWNA SHIPMENTS\nSEASON 1908.\nFruit: Apples, 30,709 boxes;\nPeaches, 1343 boxes; Pears, 3326\nboxes;, Plums,! 10,298 boxes ;\nother fruits, 3,279 boxes, total 75\ncars.-\n- Vegetables : Potatoes 934 tons ;\nCabbage 19 1-4 tons; Miscell 458\ntons ; Canned Goods, 3321 cases,\ntotal 77 cars. - . ,\nThese statistics were made up to\nthe end of November 1908, and do\nnot include smaller, exports by express.

Invitation cards\nwere sent out to the friends of the\nmembers, and a good sized gathering was the result. After speeches by the officers of the \"Lodge on\nthe origin and objects of the Order,\ncards were- indulged in, and various other games. The lady members \"provided supper, after which\n,a dance ended a most enjoyable\nevening. The C. O. C.

Rogers, of Ottawa, announced\nin Montreal last week that the Canadian\nMint would start right away with the\ncoinage of gold. The Canadian dies not\nbeing ready the permission of the'British\nGovernment has been given to use British\ndies Until the end of the year, when the\nCanadian will be ready, Each of the\nCanadian minited coins, will be inscribed\nwith the letter 'C'.beneath the King's head.\nOnly about 250 will be minted, which will\ngive them an additional valuC from a\nnumismatic standpoint.\ntwo or three people'\nThe meeting.was then thrown\nopen for any questions on the subject, and advantage was taken of\nthis by a number of those present.\nThe question was asked: \u25a0 If ,there\nwas only one license in this city,\nwould there be as much drinking\nas if there were three ? Is anyone\nprepared to say whether more\nlicenses increases the drinking?\nThis was threshed out with different arguments, one person suggesting that inasmuch as several stores\nin the same line of business increases competition, so several\nlicenses increases competition, and\nas a matter of bourse, drunkenness.\nComparisons were drawn between prohibition and non-prohibition towns, one party giving an\ninstance of a Manitoba town\nwhere there was no ' license, and\nshowing it to be dead as far as\nbusinesses concerned. On account\nof_theJack of good accommodation\nin that particular place, the business was diverted to neighboring\ntowns, which had licensed houses.\nThe high rates charged in Summer-\nland which is a non-license town,\nfor accommodation was brought\nup in favor of licenses. It was\nagreed that the high rates were beyond the purse of a laboring man.\nAgainst this it was stated that the\nlaboring man had the .option of\nboarding himself in a tent, or\nliving in a private boarding house\nat reasonable rates, as many do in\nKelowna.' The old, old story of\nthere being more drunkenness in a\nprohibition town than in a non-\nprohibition town, lost none of its\nstalencss in being v revived again.\nIn reply to this Mr. Herdman said\nthat although some old topers will\nmanage to get liquor anyway, the\ndrinking was not done openly,\nand that therefore there was not\nthe temptation for the young man\nwho had not become addicted to\nthe use of alcoholic liquor. Mr.\nHerdman also read a report of the\nchief of police at Charlottetown, in\nwhich it was claimed that there\nwere very few arrests for drunkeness in Charlottetown, since the\n^people had prohibitory law there.\nRegarding the financial benefit\nto a town, from license fees, the\nfollowing statistics were given of\nEast and West Grand Forks, N. D.:\n-East Grand Forks ha3 42 saloons,\n-West Grand Forks has no saloons.\nEast Grand Forks receives $ 10,\n000 a year, revenue from licenses.\nWest Grand Forks, receives nothing. The assessment of East\nGrand Forks $384,000, while West\nGrand ^Fbrks'.is $3,500,000, and\nand it is also the only order of this\nkind, that is open to both ladies\nand gentlemen.\n' - - - -^\u00bb\t\nSEED GUESSING COMPETITION\nThe seed guessing competition,\nbeing run by Mr. W. B. M.

The\npumpkin in question is exhibited\nin Mr. Calder's window, beside the\nfine doll, which will be the prize.\n\"The results of the compteitiohwill\nbe given on Christmas Eve.\nC. O. L. CO.'S SALE\nThe Central Okanagan Land Cos\nauction sale on-Tnursuay,\u2014was iair-\nly well attended, but would probably have been much larger, if it\nhad not been for the wheat block\"\nade in the east, many farmers down\nthere being unable to get the money for this year's crop, and so were\ndeterred from coming. Dr. Gaddes\ninforms us thatthe large advertising\nof the sale, has interested many\npeople in all parts of the country,\nand brought numerous inquiries\nabout this district. A block of\nlots in Woodlawn were bought by\nVancouver and local people.\nKelowna Ma\\es Good\nAgainst World\nCompetition.\nThe keen interest with which\nKelownaites awaited the \u2022 results of the Spokane fair was\nrewarded on Saturday, when\nthe following reports were\nflashed across the wires from\nMr, DeHart\u2014\"Dec. 11th, to\nMr. H.

It\nwas evident that most were in\nfavor of trying '\u25a0> kindness, and if\nthat failed, to dig in the spurs and\nhang on to the 'jug handle,' like\ngrim death.

The school\nhouse though an unpretentious\nlittle building, is nevertheless a\ngreat centre of attraction, and we\nare proud to say our school is one\ndf the best conducted in theValley.\nWe . have earnest energetic trustees,-who always secure the best\nteachers and keep the school in\nup-to-date order. There is an attendance of. from twenty to thirty\npupils daily, bright, happy children, advanced beyond their years,\niniall their studies. \u2022 Well conducted, and patriotic, they glory in the\nUnioTTJac'invhicrr\"fibats_gaiIy-on\ntheir school. But not only is the\nschool of use in forming the young\nideas, but the elders too, assemble\none evening each week, and hold\nLiterary meetings. Debates, recitations, songs and music pass a\ncouple of hours pleasantly, and a\nstranger visiting the district between 9 and 10 o'clock on. Tuesday evenings, will be surprised to\nsee the rnany lanterns diverging\nfrom the school house, and lighting the way home for the many\nattendants., ,\n}: A.

Jap Oranges Persimmon Figs\nApples Pomegranites Grape's\nBori'Bon\nEqually as true as the old adage \"No foot\nno horse\", is the fact, \"Poor\/teeth poor\nhorse\". The former signifies that a horse\nwith bad fett rrsuta in' lameness, and is\ntherefore useless; the latter that a horse\nwith irregularities and abnormalities of the\nteeth, make proper mastication impossible,\nwith indigestion and unthriftiness as natural\nconsequences. Wdcannot subject a horse\nto domestication with its many unnatural\nconditions, without its attendant harmful\nresults. A ho\"rse must have perfect teeth\nto withstand the grinding year after year,\nof many quarts of good hard oats daily.\nOur milling machinery gets out of order; in\nthe same way, only more so, the ' milling\nmachinery of the horse becomes defective.\nThe most common diseases of horses'\nteeth may be roughly grouped as follows:\n(a) Irregularities when developing.\nThe grinders are divided into temporary\nand pcrmancnt.and it is at the time of the\nshedding of the temporary, and the appearance of the permanent teeth, that\nhorses suffer under this heading.\n(4) Irregularities due to some teeth\nbeing softer or harder than normal, resulting in some teeth growing too long,\nand others too shorf, thereby mechanically interfering with the grinding motion.\n(c) Disease of tooth proper, such as\ncaries, destruction of the cement and\ndentine of the teeth.\n(d) Diseases of the alveoli, resulting\nin periostitis and ulceration, accompanied\nwith excruciating pain, and sometimes\nresulting in a fistula to the surface, and\nenlargement of the bone.\n(e) And what is present in nearly all\nhorses that have been grinding oats for\na few years, are sharp corners and projections, which interfere with mastica-\ncation by cutting into the tongue and\ncheek, on account of which the horse\nacquires the habit of \"bolting his food\",\nswallowing his food hurriedly, and in an\nunprepared condition.\nThe interferences with normal mastication are manifested by symptoms easily\nrecognized by the observant horseman.\nThe most common are,\u2014dropping of food\nfrom mouth partly chewed, forming balls\nwhich are often found in the mangers, or\nin popular phrase \" the horse quits his food.\"\nRolling of the tongue, causing slobbering; cautious grinding; holding the head\nsideways. Other important symptoms are\nthe presence of food in the mouth considerable time after eating, pulling on one\nline whilst driving, nervousness about the\nhead, and, most prevalent of all, general\npoor condition, indicated by loss of flesh,\nrough dry hair, sweating easily, and lack\nof energy and stamina. If decay and ulceration has taken place, there wjll be an\noffensive smell in the mouth.\nTo ensure proper digestion the process\nof grinding and mastication must be perfect. If the food is not crushed, and the\nsaliva is not thoroughly incorporated, the\nstomach is handicapped, and cannot perform its physiological functions, with the\nconsequence that sufficient assimilation \\>f\nnourishing properties does not take place.\nIn its endeavour to conpensate, the\nstomach calls for more food, hence the\navaricious appetite of some unthrifty\nhorses.\nWe can safely say, that one quart of food\nproperly masticated, is worth four quarts\npoorly masticated. It takes lots of coal to\nkeep up the engine that leaks. In the same\nway it requires abundance of food to keep\nup sufficient strength in the horse that\neliminates quantities of food unmasticated,\nundigested. Further, many cases of colic\nare\" attributed to abnormalities of the teeth,\ninasmuch as unprepared food in the stomach is liable to ferment, and evolve large\nquantities of gas. The impaired process\nof digestion being due to the teeth, indicates the line of treatment, which consists\nA purchaser of one of these-lots at $1500 reported \\\nhis returns this summer as\/follows:\/., ... ; ,\nAPPLES (Mcintosh Red), $275.00 V \\\\;- '[\nVEGETABLES 1|40 00-\u25a0 ''\"'\n- Total, $315 00 ^ \"\nWe can furnish particulars to'ahu enquirer '**\nat our office. -\u2022 , ' '--,\u00ab.\nThere are eleoen for sale at the same.pricey.\n$1500, and as the terms are only one-third cash ,\nyou can make a good proportion of the second\npayment from next summer's crop.\nWhere can tjou equal this for an inoestmeht? \" \"\nHEWETSON & MANTLE\nSOLE AGENTS.\ni * *\nThe Kelowna Manufacturing Co\/\nPendozi Street; \u2022. \u2022. , v.\nWill be pleased !to gioe- Estimates- \u2022* r-'\non all hinds of Wood Work, Office ' * '\nand Store Fittings.\nPicture.Framing, Cabinetmakihg,i and.\nWood Turning in all its Branches.\nCall and.

' ' \u25a0\u201e .\nOn Wednesday last a little company of\nKelowna's musical people paid a visit to\nPeachland and with the help of a few of\nthe native Peachlanders gave a most\" enjoyable concert in the Presbyterian church.\nTrie concert was under the auspices of the\nYoung People's Association and the_ proceeds went towards the piano fund.\nEvery item on the program was a treat\nThe visitors from Kelowna were Mr. and\nMrs. Thompson, Mrs. McTavish, Mr. Harvey, Mr. Davies and Miss Smith. The\nlatter arranged the. Program and acted\nas accompanist. Each part was opened\nby an instrumental trio, comet, violin and\npiano played respectively by Messrs.\nThompson, Shaw and Tupton. There\nwere solos by Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Pollard and Mr. Harvey, a quartette by Mrs.\nThompson, Mrs. McTavish and Messrs.\nHarvey and Davies and a quintette composed of the whole Kelowna contingent.\nThen there were cornet solos and violin\nsolos- by Messrs Thompson and Shaw.\nAltogether it was one of the most enjoyable musical evenings that Peachland has\never enjoyed. The audience was most\nenthusiastic and encored almost every\nitem. The Kelowna friends -will be wel\ncorned whenever they come back again.\nA LUCKY GUESS.;\nKnowles watch guessing com-\netition was decided on Monday,\nand proved Jack Wilson to be the\nfortunatecompetitor.his guess being\n36 hours, 40 minutes, 32 seconds,\nwhich left him 2 minutes, I second\nout.

About 550 guesses were\nmade, although out of these, eleven\nhad to be. destroyed on account of\nnot being signed.

Mr. Whelan\nhas gone through\" many experiences since\nhe left the east India Docks, London,\ngetting on for~haIf a century .ago. Travelling first to New Zealand, he^ spent some\nyears roaming around that country, coming\nto British Columbia- in -1870. Shortly\nafterwards he caught the gold fever, and\n1872 saw him delving after the precious\nmetal up in the-\u00bbPeace; River country.\nThis life was evidently not a bed of roses,\nfor in the fall of the same year he return<\ned to Kamloops, and wintered there. t In\nthe spring of the year following Mr. Whelan went on a preliminary survey for the\nC.P.R. from Kamloops to Fort' Edmonton,\nleaving .this also in the same oear to come\nto the Okanagan \u2022 Mission, Valley. Soon\nafter coming here Mr. Whelan bought an\ninterest in the property now owned, by\nMr. Pridham, and also pre-empted 320\nacres adjoining. After selling out his interest in the above property our friend\nlived on the property now owned' by\nThomas Bulman, also pre-empted by him,\non which place he lived for over thirty\nyears. In describing the growth of the\ncountry, Mr. Whelan says that when< lie\ncame here, there was nothing but a\nSiwash trail from Vernon to the Okanagan\nMission Valley, and the country-in all the\nroughness of a wilderness. This gentleman\nis enthusiastic in predicting a bright future\nfor the Okanagan Valley and he describes\nthe climate as the finest in the world. -\nT3\u00abS\n**S|h.\nThere have been 24,000 homestead en\ntries during September and October last,\nas compared with less than 5000 in the\nsame months of 1907.\nThe Winnipeg customs receipts for the\nmonth of October showed an increase of\n$40,000 over the figures of the same month\nlast year.\n20th Century\nBarber Shop\nBernard Ave.\nHair-cutting,Shaving orShampoo\ning.
