J^J and Personal\nThe concert given on Monday\nevening in aid of the building\nfund of St. Saviour's church was\nworthy a much larger attendance\nthan that which was present.\nThe programme was well rendered, throughout, the closing\nitem being an amusing play entitled \"Turn Him Out.\" The\nattendance, although fair, was\nnot nearly so large as that which\nhas greeted similar entertainments in the past. This was no\ndoubt due to the fact that no\nsoliciting was done for the sale\nof tickets, it being left entirely\nto people's own choice whether\nthey attended or not. The following was the programme :\nPiano sole, Mrs. Chas. Were ;\nVocal solo, A. S. Miller ;\nVocal solo, Miss B. Thompson ;\nRecitation, Rev. J. A. Cleland ;\nVocal solo, Mrs. W. F. H. Swinton ;\nVocal solo, A. Gahan ;\nVocal solo, Miss F. Thompson ;\nVocal solo, Mr. Hinton ;\nPlay, \" Turn Him Out\", Mrs.\nSwinton, Miss V. Sutherland,\nMessrs. Swinton, Gahan, Syer,\nMason and Heathcote.\nRev. J. A. Cleland performed\nthe duties of chairman.\nWenatchee\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDOroviile Line.\n(From the Similkameen Star.)\nSixteen surveyors arrived in\nOroviile recently to survey the\nroute between that town and\nWenatchee for the Great Northern Railway. This road when\ncompleted will shorten the route\nfrom Princeton to the coast and\nafford an alternative line to the\nchief cities of Washington. It\nwill also allow Princeton a much\nwider field in which to supply\nher excellent coal to a people\nwho have no choice at present\nbut a poor quality mined in the\nstate or imported from Washington. The principal demand for\nPrinceton coal must come, however, from B. C. coast cities\nwhere a good domestic coal cannot be had from the local product. When the V. V. & E. is\nbuilt along its present located\nline via the Tulameen then the\ncoal of this section will have unimpeded outlet to all markets.\nA dispatch from Washington,\nD. C, says that coal is almost\ncertain to be placed on the free\nlist. The agitation begun by\nPrinceton Board of Trade for removal of coal duty is also bearing fruit at Ottawa.\n1909.\nfc^2\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD2\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD2\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD2\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDH3\nNOTICE\nNow is the time to buy your Tomato\nSeed.

They put in Wednesday forenoon at the work,\nbut their efforts did not prove\nvery successful, it being the general opinion that it was too late\nto go on with the scheme this\nseason and too early for next.\nThe opening services of the\nnew Baptist church last Sunday\nwere exceedingly well attended.\nRev. Jas. Hood preached in the\nmorning, Rev. G. H. Estabrooke\nin the afternoon and Rev. A. T.\nRobinson in the evening. The\ntotal collections at the three services amounted to $102.35, and,\nwhile this does not leave the\nnew church altogether out of\ndebt, the amount yet to be raised\nis quite small. The building is\nneat, attractive and comfortable,\nand is certainly a credit to the\nenterprise of the denomination.\nWe extend congratulations.\nThe Literary Concert.\nSteward's Hall was crowded\nalmost to its full capacity on\nThursday evening when an entertainment was given by the\nmembers of the Literary Society.\nWe regret that at the hour of\nwriting space will not permit a\ndetailed report; but suffice it to\nsay that the programme, though\nlacking in some of the attractive\nfeatures of the ladies' entertainment in the soeiety last year,\npresented everything that could\nbe desired in the way of a musical treat. A collection was taken, the proceeds of which were\n$16.50.\nDr. McDougall Lectures.\nThe lecture given by the Rev.\nJohn McDougall, D.

Unfortunately, only half a day's\nnotice could be given of the\nmeeting and the attendance suffered in consequence.\nThe subject upon which Mr.\nMcDougall spoke was, \"Wild\nLife on the Canadian Plains in\nthe Early Sixties.\" The lecture\nwas reminiscent in character,\ncontaining numerous anecdotes\ncharacteristic of life among the\nRed Men of the western plains.\nOf special interest was the\nspeaker's description of his first\nbuffalo hunt in 1862, when he,\nalong with three or four hundred\nIndian hunters, attacked a herd\nof about twenty thousand buffaloes, a great number of which\nwere slaughtered.\nLOST\nBriar Pipe, marked \"L. & Co.,\" rubber mouth-piece; somewhere between\nthe school and residence of undersigned.\nRoute : down Martin street to first unimproved lot helow J.

Further, a\nsidewalk may enhance the value\nof certain property to such a degree that it would seem only fair\nthat such property should be\nmade to bear a greater portion\nof the burden of construction\nand maintenance than property\nbenefitted to a less degree.\nIt is impossible to collect a toll\nfrom every person who walks on\na sidewalk and thus compel him\nto contribute his just portion.\nIt is also impossible to ascertain\nexactly to what extent a certain\nproperty may be benefitted more\nthan another. Therefore, any\nsystem that may be devised for\nthe adjustment of the burden of\ntaxation can be merely approximate. It is customary now in\nmost towns and cities to assess\nfrom forty to sixty per cent, of\nthe cost of a sidewalk to the property fronting upon it, while the\nproperty on the opposite side of\nthe street is also assessed for a\npercentage, the remainder of the\ncost being borne be the whole\ncorporation.\nThis system works well, and\nserves as a check upon rash and\nunreasonable demands on the\npart of residents. If the municipality, as a whole, were com-\np illed to bear the entire cost of\nNot too Exacting\nDon't expect too much from\nthe council this year. Seeing\nthat the assessment was made\nby the government before the\ncouncil took office, the taxes for\n1909 will not total over $2,800.\nbe!\nThis amount will of course\naugmented to some extent by\nthe trades licenses, but, considering the cost of incorporating,\nand the expenses incidental to\ngetting the machinery of government into operation, the board\nwill do well if it keeps the roads,\nstreets and bridges In repair and\nmakes a few local improvements.\nIt is important that the foundations be will laid that a good set\nof by-laws be drawn up, and\nthat every step may be taken\nwith an eye to permanency. The\npresent council will be handicapped in a measure by the fact that\nthey are all new to the conditions\nand requirements of B. C. municipal government. Upon the present body will devolve the necessity of collecting data that will be\nof value to future councils. The\ncouncil board is composed of\nmen who, undoubtedly, are all\nanxious to do their very best for\nthe municipality, and it would\nbe weil for all of us not to be too\nexacting, but rather to give a\nword of encouragement or to\nlend a helping hand whenever\npossible.\t\nFire Brigade Ball Statement.\nFollowing is a statement of the\nreceipts and expenditures in connection with the Fire Brigade\nball held on Monday, the 15th\ninst.

Even the business\nportion of Penticton is scattered,\nand, if a walk were laid along l\nany principal street to the disregard of others, endless trouble\nwould ensue. On the other hand,\nif the property owners on any,\nstreet were willing to bear the\ngreater portion of the cost of\nlaying a walk there could be little\nor no objection raised.\nThe system, we believe, should\nnot be extended to street improvement. Streets are a neces-1\nsity and should be opened up and\nimproved at the cost of the entire\nmunicipality, but sidewalks arei\na luxury, and people should have\nthem only on condition that they\nare willing to pay the price, j\nThere is another reason why the\nfrontage tax should be adopted. I\nThat is, the revenue, which is\nlikely to be at the disposal of the!\ncouncil for some time, will not j\npermit that body to make anyj\nimprovements of this character.\nEvery dollar could be wisely ex-1\npended in road improvement\nalone. ;\nWe would suggest that sixty\nper cent, of the cost of sidewalks :\nbe assessed to the property fronting thereon, and twenty per\ncent, to the property fronting on\nthe opposite side of the street.\nThis, we think, should apply\nonly to the town proper.
