Meeting of \" City Council Old Corncil Hand Over Rein* of Office to Newly-elected Body - Standing Committees for Year A meeting of the council was held he d Friday morning, January 12th, the Mayor and Aid. Leckie. Copeland and Jones being present. The mayor reported that he had arranged with Mr. Paisley to take the scavenger's position at a salary of $2,000 per year. This, it was mentioned was $200 more than had been paid to D. Mills. A resolution was accordingly passed that Mr. Paisley be appoint, ed scavenger at $ 166.66 per month and that an agreement be drawn up between him and the city to terminate January 31st 1913. A resolution was also passed, \" that the mayor and city clerk be authorized to sign the agreement between the Kelowna Land & Orchard Coj and the city, and attach the corporate seal thereto, and that the sum of $10,000 be paid according to the aame.\" This was in payment for the land purchased for a sewage farm. The mayor and clerk were authorized to complete and sign the lease of the foreshore to Messrs. Jones an I Newby, in accordance with a resolution passed by the council on Feburary 25th 1911. The lessees were to pay all charges for surveys and papers in connection therewith. To comply with the requirements of the Bank of Montreal a formal by-law was introduced, authorizing the city to borrow up to the sum of $25,000 in anticipation of the revenue of 1912. This would cover all probable borrowings for current expenses until the taxes for 1912 were paid in. The by-law was given a second and third reading. In compliance with sections 146 and 147 of the Municipal Clauses Act, the 4ollector submitted a detailed statement, under oath, of the unpaid taxes as at December 31st 1911. The annual financial statement and auditor's report were adopted. The meeting then adjourned until the following day. The old council met for the last time Saturday morning, the Mavor and Aldermen Jones, Copeland and Leckie being present.

Dunn, petty cash 27.39 By-law 102 was reconsidered and finally passed. The following resolution met with unanimous approval: \" That this retiring council at its last meeting desires to place upon the minutes its high appreciation of the services of the Kelowna Fire Brigade rendered during the year of 1911. We consider the excellent state of efficiency in the brigade has Seen due to the untiring efforts of Chief Max Jenkins, who at all times and under most trying conditions has given most excellent leadership. Representing the citizens of Kelowna, we therefore convey to him and the brigade oijir sincere and hearty thanks for their efforts in preserving property, and wish them continued success. It is further moved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the chief.\" A resolution was also passed \"That this council express its thanks to the Press for the fair and impartial reports of its proceedinga during the past year.\" Mr. G. H. Dunn, the city clerk, met with the highest commendation from all the members of the council for the able, efficient and courteous manner in which he had carried out his duties during the past year. The assistance which he had rendered to the council was highly appreciated by all. Aid. Jones before adjournment teferred to the fact of the meeting being the last for the old council, and the parting from several members which would take place. They ould especially miss the keen business experience of Aid. Leckie, who was amongst the retiring aldermen. Aid. Leckie had bt-en almost a whole council in himself, and the way in which he had conducted his own depaitment was a credit. Aid. Leckie thanked the members for their kind wishes and expressed the pleasure he had had in handling the problems of the city business in conjunction with the men who had been his associates on the council during the last two years. The meeting then adjourned. There was a full attendance of members when the new council assembled for the first time Monday morning. After the usual swearing in by signing the oaths of office, Mayor Jones took his seat at the head of the table. Practically the only business was the arranging of standing committees for the vear. The appointment of these is the privilege of the Mayor, who announced his selection as follows: FINANCE. Aid. F. A. Taylor, Aid. D._W. Sutherland. BOARD OF WORKS. Aid. R. A. Copeland, Aid. W. C. Blackwood, Aid. H. W. Raymer. FIRE PROTECTION AND 9UILDINGS. Ald.H.H. Millie, Aid. R. A. Cope- land, ELECTRIC LIGHT AND WATER. Aid. D.W. Sutherland, Ald.H. H. Millie. HEALTH AND SEWERAGE. Aid. H. W. Raymer, Aid. W. C. Blackwood, Aid. D. W. Sutherland. PARKS AND CEMETERY. Aid. W. C. Blackwood, Aid. F. A. Taylor. His Worship pointed out that this year there were three members on the Board of Works and the Health and Sewerage Committees. This had been done owing to the prospect of extra heavy work which these committees would have to face during the coming year. He hoped that each member would do his best for the department of which he had charge. The tint- of meeting was then discussed, but it was decided to make no change for the present. The meeting adjourned until Monday next, Jan. 22nd. Railway Will Be In Kelowna Within Next Twelve Months Kettle Valley Railway Co. Rushing Survey Line From Kelowna to Connect with C. P. R. at Vernon All doubt as to whether the long looked for railroad i* to make its appearance in Kelowna hava been dispelled during the past few days by the appearance in the city of the engineers of the Kettle Valley Railway Co., who have already completed a preliminary survey of a line to connect with the C. P. R. at Vernon. The ultimate location of the proposed line is not yet de- finately fixed, but it is expected to run, via Woods' Lake, and following the valley of Mill Creek behind Mr. Leslie Dilworth's, cut through near Mr. Cosens' place and enter the city on the north, joining up with the already exie'ing tracks and car slips. The engineers express themselves as well pleased with the preliminary work, and the easy grades encountered. On the best authority it has been stated that it is the intention of the Kettle Valley company lo push forward at once with the construction of the line, which, owing to the absence of any serious engineering difficulties, they expect to have completed by the end of 1912. This short Kelowna-Vernon line is part of a more comprehensive scheme to connect up with the company's line to the south. This is news of the very best kind to the people al Kelowna who have waited long and patient- for this consummation of their hopes. Keep your eye on Kelowna during the next few months, and WATCH HER GROW 1 Proposed Poultry Association for Kelowna Quite a number of enthusiastic poultrymen of the district responded to the call for a public meeting to consider the question of forming a Poultry Association in Kelowna. Meltings were held in Messrs. Rat- tenbury & Williams' office Tuesday afternoon and evening, and the project was thoroughly discussed and heartily endorsed. It was decided as a oreliminary to organization, that information should be gathered from existing associations and that a request should be forwarded to the Department of Agriculture for the s'rvices of the provincial poultry expert to aid in organization. As soon as can be arranged u further meeting' will be called and officers elected. Rutland News. From our own correspondent. The literary society met as usual Friday, when an interesting feature in the form of an impromptu speech competition took place. Mr. W. Craig and Mr. Blenkarn were captains, and chose sides from the audience. The lively manner in which the various sub- jucts were dealt with, was highly interesting and amusing. Miss Gladys Bird and Miss Alda McDonald gave an opening instrumental duet, which was well appreciated. To-morrow (Friday ) Mr. Rogers of Kelowna is to read ia paper on \"war\" and the next w\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDk is to be \"magazine night\" when short articles, news items, etc. of local interest will be submitted for discussion and comment. Kelowna Cannery to Erect Large New Building Although the present premises occupied by the Kelowna Canning Co. are barely two years old, already they have become too small to accomodate the enormous increase in business, and it has become necessary to provide a still bigger plant and building in anticipation of the coming season's needs, Plans have already been prepared and a sight secured to the north of the present structure and as soon as weather will permit work will be started on a new cannery, which in point ofjsize and equipment will leave the present one far benind' Mr. Geo. Ritchie is the contractor. East Kelowna News A report of the annual Vestry meeting of St. Michael's Church arrived unfortunately, too late for this issue. It will appear next week. The regular fortnightly meeting of the Kelowna Study Club will be held at the home of Mrs. Dr. Gad- des, on Thursday, January 25th at 8 p.m. The work of the evening will be an introductory study of the works of Gilbert Parker. Appropriate music will be provided by the Musical Committee. All women are invited to attend and become members. The Country Girls' branch of the Ladies' Hospital Aid desire to thank all who took part in the recent concert and dramatic entertainment which proved so very successful. Also those who gave candies or helped in any other way. The sum realized was about $200. The people of Rutland, Ellison and Glenmore are considering the advisability of organizing as a district municipality, or as an alterna- tive as a water municipality to take over and control the water supplies with these districts. The service in the Methodist Church next Sunday is under the auspices of the Women's Missionary Auxillery. All ladies are specially invited to attend. F. T. Abbott, who recently commenced the Penticton Steam Laundry, was in town during the week. Mr. Abbott has put in an extensive plant, and already has several important contracts up and down the lake, including laundry from the C. P. R. boats. Mr. McEown has been appointed agent for Kelowna and is making three shipments per week. Don't forget Mr. J. R. D. McAus- land, the famous tenor vocalist and voice specialist, who will be at Knox Church to-morrow (Friday) evening, and at Benvoulin Presbyterian Church Saturday evening at 8 p.m. The admission fees are 50c and 25c.

On Friday, January 12th attended the meeting of the East Kelowna Debating Society to hear Mr. Wallace on the Life and Works of Robert Browning. The speaker dealt more particularly with Browning's message to the world to lead it back to faith and trust in Providence through his poems which obscure and perhaps not so melodious as others, are more full of thought than any, and illustrated his remarks by some fine extracts from the poet's works. On Friday January 26th a debate will he held on the important topic whether Asiatics should be excluded from the Dominion. Messrs. Gillespie and Mckie will advocate their exclusion, while Messrs Leg- att and Newbold will oppose it. Board of Trade Monthly Meeting 3.00 5.00 9.95 6.00 To the regret of her many music pupils in Kelowna, Miss P. Louise Adams has signified her intention of making her home for the future with her parents in Hanover, Ont. Miss Adams will be much missed in local musical circles. C. P. R. passenger train No. 4. which left Vancouver early Saturday morning, ran into a snowslide on Sunday in Rogers Pass. Three cars were derailed, but no one was injured. A wrecking train composed of three cars, one of which was the private car of Superinten- tendent Kilpatrick of Revelstoke, which was going out to to the aid of No. 4 from Vancouver, was struck by a slide at Albert Canyon. All three cars, engine and cab were turned over. One man was killed and three injured. Births MARVIN-On Wednesday, January 17th, to the wife of H. Marvin, a girl. tion of the ferry service to West Bank. He said that in view of probable developments on the Indian Reserve property, it was necessary to have a first class service at a lower charge. He proposed that a resolution be forwarded to the government asking for a free service. The date of the annual merting and election of officers was fixed for Monday, Feb. 5th at 8 p.m. in Rnymei's Small Hall. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade took place Tuesday evening last in the secretary's room. The usual batch of correspondence took up the principal part of the evening. Mr. Hamilton Lang, in reply to a request that the government dredge the mouth of Mill Creek stated that the government could not entertain the idea, as the creek was within city limits. In discussion it was contended that the sand bank which needed cutting out as below low water level and consequently outside the city's jurisdiction. It was decided to point this out and ask for a reconsideration of the matter. The C. P. R. superintendent of telegraphs wrote respecting delay in transmission of messages, and claimed that the government lines were principally responsible. The secretary was instructed to forward the correspondence to the Minister of Public Works at Ottawa. An announcement from the secretary of the Associated Boards of Trade of the Okanagan that the annual convention had been delayed for a month was received with some indignation. Mr. R. B. Kerr mentioned that the date had had been fixed some time ago in order that resolutions passed could be submitted at the opening of the legislature. The delay of a month would defeat this object. A resolution from the Kelowna board in particular regarding redistribution would be rendered useless. It was decided to send a protest against the change and to forward the resolution on redistiibution to the government independently. Mr. N. Rankine, secretary of the Western Canada Irrigation Association wrote respecting the convention to be held here in August, e-d asking for photographs and information respecting the district. The following accounts were ordered payed when properly certified. H. H. Millie, phone . $ B. A. Moorehouse, tracing - G. H. E. Hudson, photos - D. Willis, stamping copyright on booklets An^ellEngrav. Co. booklets 677.75 Mr. G. A. Fisher was added to the committee to investigate fire insurance rates in place of Mr. Mantle who has left for the Old Country. Mr. Rees reported on behalf of the telephone committee that previous to the sale by Mr. Millie they had investigated the charter held by him, and had found that it would take two or three years before the city could get the special legislation necessary to take over the system, and it would u-oieover practically exhaust the city's borrowing power. Mt. Leckie, later in the evening, gave an account of the city's negotiations with Mr. Millie from the granting of the charter. The oiiginal charter had been substituted later by one which placed the citv in a much less favorable position. The city had gone as far as possible in their endeavor to purchase, but no satisfactory arrange- ments could be made with Mr Millie. The committee were thanked for their services and discharged. Mr. B. McDonald, of the Farmers' Exchange brought two resolutions (given in the report of the annual shareholders' meeting) respecting the need of transportation facilities and the request for a grant to erect a new building for the A 6t T. Association. He asked that these be endorsed by the Board and resolutions were passed to that effect, with the additional request that the Provincial government take immediate steps to get a branch line of the Canadian Northern into Kelowna, and also that it be made a condition of the granting of the charter to the Kettle Valley Railroad that they complete their line into Kelowna during 1912. It was decided to supply copies of the new booklet to real estate firms and others at a charge of 15.- per copy, the actual cost being about 26. Some 2000 of the booklets had already been spoken for at 15c each. Mr. Elliott introduced the quea- Farmers' Exchange Has Successful Year Annual Shareholders' Meeting The first annual meeting of shareholders ot the Kelowna Farmers' Exchange, Ltd., since the reconstruction of the company, was held Tuesday last. The president's report was a most favorable one. The business of the company, he said, had reached a total of nearly $240,000 as compared with $144,000 last year, and the pi ices realized had established a record for the Okanagan and possibly for B. C. 1 he net profit on the half-years trading was $2,296.89 and the directors recommended a dividend of 8 per cent, on the paid up capital, the balance of profits being placed to reserve. Ihe repoti directed attention lo the ions which had luen sustained by the Exchange owing to failure ot ihe C. P. R. to provide proper cars during the busy season. Fruit had to be shipped in urine tank cars instead of proper fruit refrigerator cars, with the inevitable result that large rebates were demanded by the wholesale houses. Claims were being made against the C. P. R. \"for damages. A strongly worded resolution dealing with this matter was adopted as follows: \"Whereas we have suffered to a very large extent this year owing to inefficient and inadequate car service and transport, ation facilities ; arid whereas the crop cf 1911 has been only 65 per cent, of a normal crop; and whereas the storage capacity when aevere frosts first set in last fall waa taxed to the limit in taking care,>f the fruit and produce sold, but which we were unable to deliver on account of the inadequate shipping facilities offered us, and as next year and each year hereafter a great many young fruit trees aie corning into bearing, we the fanners ol the Kelowna district look forward with cnxlely and fear that our business as fruitgrowers, in which many have invested their entire capital and labor for several year*, may .neet with a severe reverse and our district a large financial loss; \"Therefore, be it resolved that this general meeting of the share-holders of the Kelowna Farmers' Exchange, while recognizing the effort already put forth, ur\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDe strongly upon the Provincial Government the importance of making the necessary arrangements that will assure tailway competition into this, British Columbia's most important fruit growing centre, at the earliest possible date, and that copies of ibis resolution be sent to the Hon. Richard McBride, Premier; and the Hon. Price Ellison, Mimister of Fnance and Agriculture.\" Mr. B. McDonald and Mr. T. Bulman delegates appointed by Board to the B. C. Fruit-Growers' Convention were to toke up the matter of transportation theie. Last Spring, concluded the report, the manager, Mr. B. McDonald, with admirable foresight had taken advantage of the prospect of a short crop and of the fact diet the Americans were holding back until the reciprocity question was settled, to book orders which secured the growers exceptionally good prices. It was hardly to be experted that they would maintain that high level. The direrlors considered the outlook for the company wan vcrv promising, and were confident that in a very few years the Kelowna Farmers' Exchange would be handling, if not the whole, by far the greater oart of the fiuit produce of the Okenagran Another resolution was passed in support of the A. & T. Association's request for a grant for a new exhibition building: \" Whereas it is of the greatest importance to the province of British Columbia that ihe fruit and agricultural industries continue to excel in producing the best of their class ; and whereas the Kelowna Agricultural and Trades Association is doing a splendid work in cultivating amongst the growers of the district a desire to excel in producing the best that can be grown : and whereas the accommodation for the fruit and produce exhibits at the annual Fall Fair is discouraging to exhibitors and dstrimahtal to the advancement of ihe district, and Ihe directors of the Association find themsrh es unable to cope with the situation from luck of funds; \" Therefore be it resolved that we, the farmers and fruit-growers of the Kelowi a district in meeting assembled, request the Provincial Government to make an appro. priation by way of a grant to the Agnciil. tural and Trades Aasociation to enable them to conatruct a satisfactory building, and of such dimensions as will take care ( of the fruit and produce exhibits, which j will no doubt increase very materially ! during the next few years.\" The following board of direrlors was appointed for the ensiling year: W.

While snowballing with some other boys last Saturday, Richard Horrocks, son of H. P. Horrocks, happened a peculiar but painful accident. In throwing a snowba\" he managed to twist his right arm in such a way as to fracture the bone and badly rupture the muscles. The poor little fellow whose pleasures were thus rudelv interrupted is now under the doctoi's care. The annual meetings of the Presbyterian churches of Benvoulin and Kelowna were held 1 uesday and Wednesday, respectively. Interesting reports were read from the various organizations and the officers elected for another year. Refreshments were served by the ladies. Mr. Perkins, of Indian Head, is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Downing. The carnival at Fuller's skating rink last Thursday evening attracted quite a large crowd of people I in spite of the somewhat unfavor- ! able weather, snow falling a large i part of the evening. The judges I of the costumes were Mrs. Gaddes, S Rev. A. \V. K. Herdman, and Mr. ! J. B. Knowles. The prizes were < awarded as follows: Best ladies costume, Marjory Leckie as a Japanese girl; gentleman's, Len. Mc- Killican ; girl's, Mary Day ; boy's, I Cyril Weddell as a Jockey ; comic, !

This will greatly facilitate the delivery of letters to points up and down the lake. In manv cases of letters addressed lo [joints down the lake a whole day will be saved. Mr. Paisley is the new scavenge r appointed by the council. 1 he annual dance of the Kelov. - na Tennis Club is now one of the events of the season, and the officers had spared no efforts lo make last Friday's affair a brilliant function. And they succeeded. The government of Manitoba is having to raise the telephone rates and the people of Carmen, along with other places, are viewing the increase with some alarm. \"Well, if the worst comes to the worst,\" says the current issue of the Cai- men Standard, \"the citizens of Carmen will just have to inaugurate another local telephone system in town, send for Harry Millie to run it, and give the people the rate of $20 per year which prevailed in the early days.\" The annual general meeting of the Kelowna Hospital Society will be held on Friday, January 26th, at 3 p.m. in Raymer's Small Hall. The annual report will be presented and the election of directors for the ensuing year will take place. 85 per cent of all headaches are the result of eye strain.

The Editor does not nee esearilu, endorse opinions giceu belom THE CRANKY 3AT( AND THE SWEET BATCHELOR The third session of the twelfth Legislative Assembly of B. C. opened last Thursday in an unusually quiet and businesslike way, the customary ceremony being enacted by Lieutenant-Governor - Patterson, accompanied by his official staff, drawn from the officers of the Canadian naval and military service. The speech from the throne forecasted much important legislation. Probably the chief feature of the speech and the one which will excite the most interest throughout the province, is the foreshadowing of measures for the further encouraging of railway construction in British Columbia. There is a double interest attaching to the new railway policy of Premier] McBride, because of the general belief that upon it he will go to the country in the early summer. Details of that policy are not expected to be announced for several weeks. Other important legislation to be enacted this session will ratify the recently completed revision and consolidation of the statutes, a new land act will be presented, the Vancouver incorporation act will be amended to make possible the adoption of a commission form of government, a measure will be introduced for the establishment of a department of forestry, and the bush fires act will be amended so that the timber of the province may be more effectually safeguarded against fire. Other legislation of more than usual interest, because it affects practically every person in British Columbia, will deal with a re-adjustment of taxation. The report of the royal commission on assessment and taxation will be presented to the legislature at an early date. Legislation which will make possible the establishment of a correction home for incorrigible girls, will, it is understood, be introduced by Hon. J. W. Bowser, attorney- general, at the earliest moment possible. On the broad question of Better Terms for British Columbia in the matter of financial relations between the Provincial and the Federal Governments it is expected that Premier McBride will, before the end of the session, be in a position to am.ounce that an agreement ot a most satisfactory nature has been reached between the two governments. Hon. Mr. McBride may also announce his intention to institute negotiations with the British toreign office in relation to the immigration of Asiatics to British Columbia. The Premier's views on this question are well-known, though his oft expressed determination to do all in his power to preserve the province and its great wealth of natural resources to the white race. The public accounts presented by Hon. Price Ellison for the last fiscal year show a satisfactory condition of the country's business and growth. The increase of revenue over that of the preceding year is $1,618,150.13. while the increase in aggregate expenditure amounted to $1,811,809.46. Totals for contrasted periods being net revenue in 1909-10, $8,874,741.74: in 1910-11, $10,492,892.27. Net expenditure, 1909-10, $6,382,993- .27; 1910-11. $8,194,802.95. At the close of the fiscal year the 31 st of March last, the balance sheet showed total provincial assets over all other liabilities of $ 1,497,694.45 with cash balance in banks and in treasury in no less amount than $8744,197.63. \" Kelowna Brotherhood \" January 16th 1912. To the Editor, Dear Sir:- On behalf of the above society, I shall esteem it a great favor if you will find room in your next issue for this letter. I should have not thus rushed into print, had it not been for a false impression in regard to the meetings of our organization which is held by some of the members of this community. The impression I refer to, is to the effect that our meetings are of an ir-religious nature, and that the subject matter under discussion, is of such a nature as not to be quite the correct thing for Sabbath consideration. This, as president of the organization and acting on behalf of the executive, I most emphatically deny and an enquiry on the part of these \" imprcssionables \" of the work that has already been carried through since the society has been in session, would reveal nothing but what is of the highest moral and religious value. Now sir, I am not out to apologize in any way for this society, neither is it at all necessary to bring forward any reason to justify our existence. We are not, and make no claim to be original. In Great Britain and the United States, the Brotherhood \" has become an essential part of the Christian work of the church, and is looked upon in religious circles as one of the most important factors in the practical development of Christianity to-day. I do not wish to take up too much of your valuable space, but in justice to the Christian gentlemen who are taking an active interest in the work of the brotherhood in Kelowna, I should like to ask our citizens not to take too much for granted, and not to be too ready to give credence to evil report, but rather to exerci e that charity, which engenders personal examination, and more often than otherwise dispels the evil report altogether, or at least reduces it in importance. Our position needs no explanation, and now, as hitherto, we would invite every man in our city to come to our meetings and see for themselves the exact nature of the work which is being catried on so successfully. Thanking you in anticipation of this insertion, and assuring our well-wishers that a little adverse criticism will but give us a fresh impetus in doing what we believe to be \"real living Christain work.\" I am, very respectively yours. On behalf of the Kelowna Brotherhood. J. H. DA VIES, President. Dear Mr. Editor!

The tea providing should be the damsel's privilege, and, instead of being asked to go skating, she should sell her skates and buy little romlorts for us with the proceeds. Lpve is all very well, but a little solid evidence of affection is worth acres of pretty words on scenty pink note paper, with a forget-me-riot border. When a poor tired man has been \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDlaving all day long to earn his modest salary, he should not be expected to lavish the bard wor. coin on chocolates and such like trifles. All he cart spare should go towards providing that little home which Gertie is to adorn someday. Since a certain amount of amusement is necessary, Gertie ought to provide it, and |j)ay for it too. Claude should be asked around to her home and made much of. She and her mother should help him off with his coat, and lead him to the largest and most comfortable arm chair. They should bring forth their best in the wpy of food and drink, smoke and bo on, and set it before him, and run about, if necessary, instead of expecting to be waited on. After the meal is over she might produce tickets and say. \" Dear Claude, I know how hard you work, and how you like dancing, so I did without a new hat, and bought these for the hospital social. 1 do hope vou will be pleased.\" There is much idle talk about the rights of women, but what about the rights 0: men ? When we marry Gertie we shall have to keep her, possibly to a ripe old age. Ought she not to do a little for us in the courts lip stage ? She may love us, or say she loves us, but if the only evidence of affection she can show is to despoil us of our hard earned wealth, such as it then are not the butcher, the tailnr, the poll tax collector all equally loving.

Casorso Brothers Sue Penticton Council A writ has been issued against the municipality of Penticton and G. F. Gurnsey, (by Casorso Bros.) for the return of $739.00, paid over by them on account of damage done by stray cattle to trees on the ranch belonging to Mr. Dobie, of Dawson. A claim has also been entered $525, loss, alleged to have been incurred by Messrs. Casorso, through the impounding of the cattle by the municipality. It will be remembered that, some weeks ago, the pound keeper was instructed to round up the cattle that were damaging the orchard, and Messrs. Jackson and Todd, with some difficulty, captured and impounded them. Damages to the amount of $739 were estimated to have been caused, and Messrs. Casorso paid that amount to Mr. Gurnsey, who was appointed arbitrator in the matter. No settlement was arrived at, however, hence the present suit. The case will be heard in the Supreme court of British Columbia either at Vernon or Vancouver. Mr. W. H. T. Gahan is acting for Messrs. Casorso, and Mr. Tun- bridge for the municipality \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPenticton Herald. Commission to Investigate Farmers' Bank It was announced by Hon. W.

A royal commission is to be created, clothed with ample powers for probing the whole fraud from beginning to end. The decision of the government was reached without any further representations from the bank sufferers. The commission has not yet been named, but will consist of one man, probably assisted by council. The commission it is understood, will be created at once.

Both sides put up a strong fight and every available vote in the city was polled. Mr. J. L.
