Taylor, and the honorary treasurer, Mr. H. N. Rich, reported on\nthe amount of funds that had been\ncollected by the Delta relief agencies since the organization of the\nCentral committee, and the supplies\nfurnished to the relief committees\nin Vancouver and New Westminster.\nIn' funds Delta has collected some\n$3,396 to date, and had disbursed\n$3,096\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD$1500 to the Canadian\nPatriotic fund, $1000 to the Red\nCross fund, $494 to the Belgian Relief funds in England, and $100 to\nthe local Women's Patriotic Society\n.for the purchase of materials.

This caused many dependents of soldiers to think that\nthey had a claim on the city, although they did not reside in New\nWestminster, and it had been the\ndecision to furnish relief to all dependents of the members of the\nregiment wherever required. The\nfirst contingent had taken 146 men,\nfor the second there were mustering\n250, and there was the home force on\nactive duty. In addition there were\nreservists, both British and French.\nThus they had to practically pro-\nvidje for the dependents of three\nforces. Thirty-two families in the\ncity were now being taken care oi,\nor ninety individuals in all. In addition there had been three cases ln\nSurrey and three in adjoining municipalities to be looked after. The\nsystem of handling relief was working satisfactorily, 250 visits having\nbeen made by the visiting committee, and partial assistance having\nbeen given to other families in nd-'i-\ntlon to the thirty-two previously\nmentioned. His worship acknowledged the generous assistance given\nby the many municipalities in the\nway of supplies and the good work\nthat Delta was doing was appreciated. They would be thankful for\nany supplies but had no wish to\ntake away from any other relief organization.\nThe view of the meeting was that\nDelta stood committed to provide\nrelief for any families whose\nbreadwinners had gone to the war,\nthat any applications for relief In\nDelta sent into the New Westminster committee, one instance of\nwhich was given by Mayor Gray,\nshould be referred to Delta, and that\nshipments of supplies would be\nmade to both cities.\nReeve Paterson referred to local\nmeasures of relief and Mr. S. W.\nFisher, secretary of the Delta Board\not Trade, expressed the opinion that\nthe Delta district stands committed\nto provide relief to any family in\nneed through the war, and that this\nshould be thoroughly understood by\nother municipalities.

Mr. Abbott re-aseerU hit, belief that farmers would be well advised to bold\nfor a fair price and reviews the factors that must tend to keep the market strong. He particularly warns\nthe Fraser Valley producer to discount tbe speculator's talk about the\nforce of Eastern competition owing\nto the reduction ot freight rates on\npotato shipments, from New Brunswick and Ontario into the prairies,\nother factors tending to offset this\nadvantage to the eastern grower.\nThe report reads:\nConditions ot Potato Market.\nIn a former report, farmers were\nadvised to hold for $20 per ton.\nCertain conditions have cropped up\nwhich have given to the buyer a I\nlever by which he has in some cases j\nbeen abl. to pry down the price and '\nbuy cheaper uuriiig tlie last week\nthan the week previous. Once more,\nlet the farmer heed this appeal: If\nyou have good potatoes don't sell\nless than $20 per ton. You should\nhave this chance of making a few\nextra dollars, and not tbe speculator.\nPotatoes are going to be a good\nprice and the consumer is going to\nbave to pay the price anyway. Don't\nlet the speculator bluff you Into a\nlow price with the talk about the\nfreight rate being reduced from New\nBrunswick and Ontario. This will\nnot make any material difference to\nyou here. This is the last week\nthey will be able to ship from those\npoints on account of the cold. That\nis in ordinary box cars anyway. New\nBrunswick's gift to the Old Country along with the amount going to\nthe Belgian Relief Fund is equal\nto 220 cars of minimum load. Ontario's crop ls not heavy. Reports\nfrom different sections in the middle\nwest by men wbo have visited these\nplaces and taken special pains to inquire into this matter say the crop\nis practically nil. Reports from\nfarmers (met on the trains from\nthese sections) are that farmers\nthemselves are already buying potatoes\nFraser Valley Crop-\nThe Fraser Valley crop, taking all\nacreage into consideration, will not\naverage much over a third crop of\nsaleable potatoes. Other sections of\nBritish Columbia are equally light.\nA very much larger percentage of\ncur crop has already moved. As\nnear as we can estimate from reports\nreceived from the different buyers\nnnd shippers in the valley the amount\nalready brought up (mostly all of\nwhich have been shipped) ls something like 200 cars besides the\namount used in the coast cities.\nThere is no storing of any consequence going on in tbe coast cities.\nJobbers are figuring on buying cheap\nb.v using the old story of \"Well, we\nwill buy across the line.\" Potatoes\nacross the line will not hurt local\ngrowers this year, unless the buyer\nwill do as he often does in these\ncases, buy and pay more for goods\non the other $ide simply to get even\nwith valley producers.\nException has been already taken\nto the estimate of the potato crop as\npresented in a former market report.\nOne farmer represents that there is\nnol an average of two tons to the\nacse, while another man about an\nhour after declared that the estimate was away too small. The words\nlie used were: \"1 dug my spuds last\nweek and I had eight tons of big\nones and twelve sacks of little ones\noff a quarter of an acre. These were\nthe finest potatoes you ever did see.\nThey were all .tho same size\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhite\nones\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDsome that long (lndlcatlong\nlength with his hands) and some\nthat long (length Indicated was from\nfour to eight Inches) In fact I bad\nlots of them weighed two pounds\nand two pounds and a half. Oh, that\nland of mine can grow spuds.\" Next\nplease. However the farmer can rest\nassured that tlie crop is not heavy\na_d the competition will only be from\nthe speculator.\nFreight Bates.\nIn the matter of reduction in\nfreight rates from the east the following figures will assist producers\niu arguing the point with the buyer:\nRates to Calgary from Vanoouver\n45 cents per cwt.; from points in\nOntario 53c, and from New Brunswick 68c. Quotations received ln\nVaneouver from dealers ln the east\nat 60c per sack or $12 per ton stating that they will not be able to\nship after the flrst of November on\naccount of frost. The buyer has\nused the cheap rate from the east as\na lever to pry down Fraser Valley\nprices and to scare the farmer, but\nhe did not tell growers that the\nn-Illinium car from here was 30,000\nIhs. and the minimum car ifrom the\neast waB 56,000 lbs. The question\nfor the farer to decide ls how much\nthese minlniuins affect tbe rate per\ncwt. and If It Is possible to put 56,-\n000 lbs. of potatoes In a refrigerator\ncar.\nWe wish lt clearly understood that\nwe nre not trying to make the consumers pay a big price for hls potatoes, but we tnke the stand that no\nder existing conditions the farmer to\nmake a decent profit out of his potatoes should this season receive $20\npo.- ton at digging time. It matters\nlittle to the consumer how little the\nprice may be to tho farmer, he Is\ngoing to pay through the nose for\npotatoes as soon as digging Is over.\nMACAWLEY\nACQUITTED\nJury Sets the Famous Mariner Free\n.liter Deliberating Less Than\nan Hour.\ns\n(From The British Columbian)\nAfter deliberating less than one\nhour, the Jury yesterday acquitted\naptain John Thomas Macawley ot\nthe charge of obtaining money under\nfalse pretences from eight Hindus,\nand the now famous captain stepped\nout from the prisoner's box a free\nman, after a trial which had lasted\ntwo days.

Her\nhighest speed is about twenty-six\nmiles an hour, and there are many\nwarships and merchant ships which\ncan move faster than this.

She is tho most tremendous moving engine of destruction that mortal brain and hand have\nmade. The most powerful of steam\nhammers exerts a force of about\nSOO foot-tons. H. M. S. Orion, with\nher great 13%-lnch guns alone can\nproduct every two minutes a muzzle\nenergy of 700,000 foot-tons\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDenough\nto raise thirty Orions a foot high.\nBy means of this enormous power\nsho ls ahle to throw at every broadside more than five and a halt tons\nof hardened steel and lyddite, the\nmost terrible explosive known. Each\nshell weighs 1250 pounds; ten of\nthese shells can be fired simultaneously, and the force of the discharge carries them, at B high elevation, twenty-one miles. In lull view\nof Hover harbor, England, the Orion\ncould wreck Calais, France, with a\nsingle broadside, and within tho next\nfew minutes she could steam out\nand destroy Boulogne. One broadside gunfire of the Orion produces\nsomething like an earthquake and\na volcanic eruption combined, Klrst.\ncome the ten shells, delivered with\nthe smashing force or 700,000 foot-\ntons; then the lyddite, in the shells,\namounting to about 8.r>0 pounds.\nbreaks UP the steel Into murderous\nfragments and belches out n poisonous gas.\ni ius tornado of destructive\nenergy, however, is produced at a\ngreat cost. The ten great guns of\nthe Orion have a very short life, for\nthev are rapidly Injured by the force\nWhich they create. If the Orion\nwere to fight continuously for about\nthree hours and Iwenty-mlnutes,\nworking her ordnance as quickly as\npossible, she would throw 558 tons\nof steel and lyddite with a mn/.zle\nenergy of about seventy million foot-\ntons. Probably her deck of thick,\nhard, cemented steel would then he\nbent and crumpled by the continual\nblast and concussion of the ten great\nguns, and the guns themselves would\nbe useless and silent, the rifling of\ntheir inner tubes would be worn\naway by the cordite used to creat<\ntiie seventy million foot-tons of\nwhich has been spreading death and\ndestruction among the large ships\nBoard of Control.\nlt required the casting vote\nadded defendant.
