The flume in question haa been a thorn in the flesh of the council in general and the Board of Works, in particular for a long time, and in lace of these definite complaints it was felt that something must be done. The clerk was therefore authorized to write to Messrs. Bembler Paul and D, McMillan, who it appears are the principal users of the water carried through this particular flume, that it would be necessary to have the flume placsd in first class order before it is again ussd. otherwise the council would take steps to have it declared a publio nuisance, and removed. In replying to the secretary of Knox church, the clerk Was inatruoted to state that the oity disclaimed all liability for damage caused, in the city by irrigation water, and suggesting that a written complaint about the condition of the flume be sent to ail the users of ths .water.

Fire Brigade Want Auto Truck The annual report of the fire brigade cam* up again for consideration. Ue- fsrring to the brigade's request for an automobile fire truck. Alderman itat- tsnbury, who is chairman of the Fire Committee said hs would like to get an expression of opinion trom the oounoil in reference to the purchase oi suoh a truck. Alderman Sutherland said he was certainly in favor of purchasing a combined chemical engine and hose reel truck, aa soon as finances permitted. After some further discussion the following resolution was passed: \"That the thanks of the oounoil be tendered to the Kelowna Volunteer Fire Brigade for their comprehensive report, covering the good work done by the brigade during the past year and the brigade bs informed of the oouncil's intention to procure full information' in reference to an auto truok and to do all in their power to further the efforts of the brigade.\" Alderman Taylor said his attention had been drawn to the fact that the street lights had not been turned on at tha time the alarm of fire was sent jn from the Boyal Hotel on Sunday hut. ___\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD_^.1^.1^^^^__ Alderman Adams explained that the lights were being run oh a moonlight schedule at the time, which would probably . account for their not being turned on. The mayor suggested that it might be as well if the power house staff were instructed to turn on the street lights for all night fire alarms, for the assistance of ths brigade in pas ing through the streets, with their hose , reels. M^^^ Bylaws 149, ISO, 151 and 1IB, the latter three referring to the proposed change In the light, water and scavenging rates, were read a second and third time. Kearrahgemont of City Offices A suggestion was made by Alderman Sutherland retrarding the re-arrangement of the city offices, the plan proposed being: to reserve the present council chamber kr regular and com- gs, and for the otty \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDr fii , The oounoil met again in special meeting Saturday morning at 11 a.m. Some items of correspondence were firat taken up. including a notice from Provincial Atpeaaor H. F. Wil-n >t, ol Vernon, stating the provincial taxes for the year 1914 on lots 35, 38 and 30, plan 186, amounted to SAO or 851 if paid before .Tune 30th. A letter waa also received from the secretary of the fire brigade, stating that they had accepted Mr, G. A. Fisher'a tender for an insurance policy covering the members of the brigade, at an annual premium of $451. By-laws 149, 150,15l' and 152 before referred to, were recommended and finally passed. The ohairman of the Light nnd Water committee introduced two new bylaws. No. 153 to raise the sum of $S,- 000 to extend the electric light system, and No. 154 to raise a like sum to extend the water worka, These were read a first time. Counoil to receive Salaries - Alderman Sutherland mode the interesting announcement that at a meet ing of the Finanoe Committee held the previous evening, it had Iteer: decide' to recommend increasing the salaries of some of the members of the staff, and also to introduce the question ol remuneration for members of the council. He pointed out that the question was not being submitted by them as a recommendation, but only to bring the matter before the counoil for consideration. He said it ' was a practice which was- becoming general in many other cities, and it had frequently been suggested by the business men of Kelowna, that the members of the oounoil were entitled to some slight reconipepce for the time and trouble entailed in attending oounoil and committee meetings. As it-appeared to be tho general desire there could be no harm in taking the feeling of the meeting on the question. Unless however, the proposal waa unanimously approved, tho matter would be dropped without submitting the necessary by-law. Discussing the amount of tho remuneration, Alderman Sutherland said it waa an established custom in the city to pay direotors of incorporated compan lea 35.00 for each meeting at which they were present, and this had been suggested as* a possible basis for the remuneration of the council. Alderman Copeland said he had spoken to several business men tn the oity, nnd they were all in favor of the members of the oounoil receiving some remuneration for their work and timo devoted to the oity. A auggestion - was mado that the mayor, on account of the much greater responsibility and demands upon his time should be allowed $10 per meeting. Mayor Jones, however generously declined, stating tr.nl ha would be perfectly satisfied to receive the same as the rest of ihe aldermen. The resolution was passed \"That the Mayor and Aldermen bo paid as remuneration for their services, the sum of five dollars per council meeting, actually attended b<- such mayor or alderman; provided however that when the mayor or an alderman ia absent from the oity on municipal business, then such remuneration shall be paid as if he were actually present; suoh remuneration not to exceed $260 per annum.\" To this was added I\" that no by-law shall be submitted for the purpose of putting the resolution Into effect unless the resolution shall be unanimously passed by the oounoil.\" (Continued on Page Ten) -so\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD!

After Mr. Francis had stated the cose from the growers' point of view, Mr. Robertson undertook to explain aome points which were not olear- 'ly understood, but very little new information was brought out. A general discussion followed, in which the feeling was expressed that the expenses of I both the Central and locals were far too greet, and it was felt that none [but growers should be elected as . direotors, as any other person would not be so vitally .interested in the practice of economy, but apart from a vote of thanks to Mr. Robertson for his presence at the meeting, nothing of a decided nature was agreed upon.

The work of tile provincial government in the eradication of bovine tuberculosis in ths province was heartily endorsee! by the dairymen of the conn- try, at tba recent annual convention, held at Chilliwack. According to Mr. W. T. MoDonald, livestock commissioner, the convention was unanimous in Hs opinion that the work should be continued. The department of the provincial government hav ing charge of this branch of work was highly complimented upon the results already attained, ond on all sides expressions of sympathy in the undertaking were forthcoming. Naturally the question of compensation come under discussion, and on this point Mr. MoDonald states thot the dairymen expressed the view that a larger measure of compensation should be given them. Opinion upon this point was not unanimous, however, some of the dairymen asking for more, while others argued that the government was already paying an adequate sum- Ultimately the oollective view ol the convention expressed itself in the form of a resolution to the effect that the government be asked to continue its work in connection with the eradication of bovine tuberculosis, but thot the amount of compensation be raised from a hall to two-thirds, and that the maximum valuation be increased to $160 in the case of grades, and to $250 in the case of purebreds.

VETERINARY SURGEON (Cradualr McCill Univaraily) Residence : GLENN AVENUE Messages may be left at the office of Messrs. Kattenbury 8c Williams The step taken by the city council last Saturday in dcoiding to grant themselves a small salary for their services to tho city, will no doubt come us\"u surprise to the genoral public, although the matter has been freely discussed in business circles for a long time.. We believe, however, at the same time that there are few citizens but what will hoartily endorse their aotion. Only thoBe who aro in close touch with the council and the activities ol the various committees huve any idea to what proportions the work which is thrown upon the local fathers has grown during the past few years. Tho arious publio utilities which the oity now owns, and which up to the present has been run bo successfully, eaoh involves a burden ol detail work which almost amounts to that of a private business. Take the Water and Light departments for instance, which is constant-1 ly expanding to meet the growing necessities of tho city. It is safe to say that thia one department entails as muoh work us was included in the entire oity business a few years ago. The great area now covered by the city streets makes the board of works one of the most important committees of the council and when street work is in full swing that department i\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD kept almost constantly engaged laying out and .personally seeing to the carrying out af the work. With the installation of the sewerage system the work of the Health and Sewerage oommittee has increased enormously. An so on all the way round. Moreover the very development of these throws a vastly increased responsibility upon the iin- ^ance oommittee. it will thus be realized that the actual attending of regular weekly meetings is only a very small part of the of the council's duties, and it is this fact whioh 1b making it increasingly hard to find competent men who will undertake the work. The day has gone by when ,tho mero honor ol the title of alderman is sufficient to tempt the beet men, and it ia altogether too severe, a strain upon a man's publio spirit. To suggent that the paltry sum ol $6 per weuk will repay the aldermen not to mention the mayor, who has generously declined to take higher pay than the rest, lor their trouble would, ol course be absurd, but it will at least,be some small recognition of their sr.crilico in the publio interest, Mr. W.

Especially should I men' tion 'the name of Alderman Sutherland a man that has given more time to council affairs than any other alderman. True, they have aU done nobly but Alderman Sutherland hat? been largely responsible for the clean out, far-sighted methods of -the counoil and you might have seen him many an evening after eleven o'clock walking alone to his residence on ihe beach, after long hours, spent on city business. Kelowna owes much to Alderman Sutherland. And then we might mention my friend, Mayor .lones, who has been a resident for muny years and has always taken a keen interest in the development of the city, aud it was fully demonstrated at the last eleetion by the people when he was returned for the third year by acclamation, and as mayor of Kelowna that Mayor Jones can be counted on when any question is at issue for the betterment of the city. In any great moral issue you know where to find him. We might enumerate others, but anace will not permit. They have all done welK Regarding the development of 1913 in Kelowna it is truly remarkable, and reading your building inspector's report, the figures are phenomenal. The new school is one ot the great assets to the city nnd is a decided advance in \"providing modern means to educate he child in every detail to fit them or life's work. I am delighted to find our Vancou- er papers bringing before the publio he Okanagan and its enterprises, and we Kelownaites in Vancouver are anx- ously waiting for that short rail route o be completed, when we shall be able o procure Kelowna apples at reasonable prices, and the promoters of 'Made in B. 0.\" in which they are rying to educate the people here might also add \"'Grown, in B. ,C\" for it is a rare thing in the district where ) am living to see fruit of any des- ription from your vallwy. I see \"We* natchee\" written on everything. 1 have failed to see or taste a can of Kelowna tomatoes. 1 believe the fruit growers have done a wise thing when they organized. 1\ must result in .good for the fruit grower. We believe Pat Burns hit the nail on the head when he stated a few days ago that to bring down the cost of living we must get back to the band ,nd grow something. Just think, a cw days ago of one company paying )ut $30,000 duty on one shipment of butter! Let our farmers, in the Okanagan and elsewhere raise our dairy roduce, pork and beef and you have he difficulty solved.

C.-Ed.) FOX FARMING IN YUKON The enthusiasm concerning the fox catching and farming hi the Yukon haa materially waned during the past few weeks owing to the fans' that tbe price of foxes has decreased nearly 50 per cent since last summer and that hundreds of foxes held in captivity have died from some unknown \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \"vuse. Many of these foxes were black, and in some oases, as high as $1,500 to $2,000 had been paid for them. One dealer, who it ia said, could have sold his stock of foxes in July for 165,000 sold two weeks ago for less than $35,- OOU, the latter price being, to some extent, due to the decline in prices, but also, to the fact that many of Ihe animals had died in the meantime. One young black fos, for which $1,600 had been paid, died five days after being placed in the corral. Owing ta the decline in prioe, fully 150 young foxes, all of the red variety held in captivity in southern Yukon, have been turned out to return to their native haunts in the wilds. Previous to sickness developing among foxes in captivity here, upwards of 200 young ones Had been snipped from White Horse alone, to fox ranches in iN'ew Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and to dealers near Boston, Mass. At present there are not over 50 held in this locality. A number are experimenting with mink farming, but greet difficulty is experienced in kee;iin^ them, wire corrals offering little resistance when they seek their freedom. Owners of black and silver gray foxes are not discouraged over the slump in prices, but contend that they will be more valuable than ever within a few months. BARBED WIRE Moat of us know barbed wire, some have sworn at it, some have sat on it, or become entangled when trying to get through a fence of it, and then- well, just sworn some more. The inventor, we are told, however, is still blessing it. It is said to have been the luckiest invention in history. We do not know for a certainty just what was the origin of barbed wire, but have juat read thia account, and it looks plausible: \"It oamo about by accident. The inventor of barbed wire, having a neighbor whose piga trespassed on his garden, he put up one day a fence of his own make. This fence had barbs and points on it; it was queer and ugly- hut it kept out the j i\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.

One day two strangers saw this fenoe, tierceived now well it kept out th > riffs, realized how cheap it was \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDrealized, in a word, its value\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD and ordered several tons of it. Furthermore they contracted to sell for a term of years all tho barbed wire he eo ild produce. He borrowed $1,000, nnd set up a little factory. A few years later on he had paid haok that lo in. and was worth a small matter ol $15,- 000,000 besides. PROVINCIAL HEALTH OFFICEll RETIRING The early retirement from his official office of Dr. Fagan, provincial health officer and secretary ol the provincial Teard of health, ia expected according to advices from Victoria. Dr.' Fagan has been in the service of thu province for fourteen years. For the past year or two he has been in very poor health and has finally decided to retire. Literally ground to pieces under the wheels oS a train, thought to have been an eaatbound freight, fragments of tbe body of an unidentified man were discovered scattered about in the C.P.R. yards at Spenoes Bridge lost rtt The man was apparently about 40 years of. age, and waa supposed to have been \"riding the' rods\" on a freight train whioh passed through the station earlier in the evening. 'Tho body waa dragged 400 feet. The provincial police took charge ol the remains THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1914 ,/ NO INTENTION TO REDUCE THE EXPRESS RATES Officials of both the Canadian and Dominion Express Companies state .that they certainly bavo no intention of taking the initiative in reducing the atos as the result of tho inauguration of the new parcels post system. They ay the railway commission already has cut the rates to the lowest limits or profitable operation. On behalf ol he Ahierioan Express Company it was ointed out that it had complied since February with tho order of the Interstate commerce commission and made I a reduothVn of- 25 por cent In its parcel rate coming from the United States into Canada.

Then the returns showed a ropulntion of 1663. f.ast Friday a total of 3037 Was coun- ed, representing an increase of 68 per cent. In the tabulated returns given below the subdivisions of Woodlawn, Bankhead, and Lakeview are given separately. These subdivisions although actually adjoining tho city and to all intents and purposes, a part ol it; being served by the city's water and light systems, and with streets that are merely continuations of city streets, ore not within the legal limits. The original purpose of the census was to secure a complete estimate of children who would have to be provided for in the schools in the near future, and therefore the numbers of children of different ages are' shown separately. It was decided that with very little more -trouble a complete census ol the city could be taken. The following are the figures obtained.

The city was divided into about wenty districts and every house was .iiited the same day. Thus the.fiirures ore as near correct as it is possible to get them. The only chance' ot error, in fact was amongst the Chinese and foreigners, a few ol whom may have been nissed, and one or two peculiar people Who refused to give the information asked. In these latter cases the number in the house was put down to tiie minimum of two. In eaoh district four of the pupils wars placed with a captain over each. East ol Richter street the enumeration was upervtsed by the principal of the high school, Mr, L. V. Rogers, who also took personally the business blooke in town. Mr, A, R.

B. Knowles, who gave her hearers a good insight into the lite of the great author, whose stories have a warns, place in the hearts of thousands of men and, women and will find an echo in the years to coma. Many people have read and been delighted with the work ol this most versatile of authors, but not so many knows anything of his lite. Born. 103 years ago in England, in a house which was afterwards used as a museum, Charles Dickens was very early recognized to bs a prodigy and was often made to sit in an arm chair and warble popular ballads and even tell stories lor Us father's fellow clerks in the navy department. It is in David Copperfield that Dickens describes the early surroundings of his childhood. The great novelist had no easy row to ho* in his early days, and Mrs. Knowles described these experiences. His father became bank' rupt and was put into prison for debt, but the two years of hardship whioh this entailed, she pointed out, were really of supreme importance to the growth of the novelist. Eeoollec- tions of the streets, prison and other environments supplied him with a store ot literary material upon whioh he drew through all the years of his best activity, but the bitterness of such an experience was not sufficiently prolonged to sour him. It is common knowledge that Dickens was a parliamentary reporter in early life, and Mrs. Knowles told how he strenuously set himsell to make himself efficient for this other work of a like nature. But this could not keep down the wonderful gifts of storytelling which he possessed, and starting with \"Sketches, of Boz\" illustrative of everyday lite and,every day people, he produced that series of novels which were the wonder of the nineteenth century. It was interesting to learn that one critic at the beginning of tho great novelist's career stated that Diokens had risen like a rocket and would go down like a stick. The famous writer's visits to the United States, his great reception there. The way he offended the people of that country were related, as was also the way Queen Victoria received him.

When the deputation of mothera and wives ot imprisoned miners waited on the Premier, Sir Richard MoBride pointed out that it was outside. the province ol his government to recommend that the royal clemency should be extended, as this clemency could only be applied through the national government at Ottawa, by the Governor-General, who would consult In ths matter with .the Minister of Justice. He promised, however, at that time to forward an account, of the meeting to Ottawa, telling the Minister of Justice of the representations made to him hie body lies in the poet's corner Westminster Abbey. Tbe occasion was tbe Annual meeting of the Kelowna liberal association which was addressed by Mr. H. Guy Rawlins of the Organizing Committee oi the Provincial liberal Association.

R. E. DeHart The hope waa expressed at the meeting that Mr. Brewster and Mr, McDonald would visit Kelowna at an early date.

The speaker was bringing out his |pridhem; President District Assoeia- point that if was not sufficient lor a1 Liberal io. merely be on the membership roll'; what was wanted was that each member would pledge himself to attend the meetings of the Association and thus do away with hopeless apathy. The great difficulty was the lack of enthusiasm; there was too much danger in allowing thinga to sink into oblivion'. The great blemish on the McBride- Bowser administration, said the speaker, was their land policy. It had been shown from the records of the land office that from January 1st, 1908 to December 31st, 1010 that one million, two hundred and eighty-lour thousand, seven hundred and twenty acres of the j finest land in the province pissed in- Mrs. Knowles said that in letter 'to the hands of speculative concerns, writing alone Charles Dickens did a or individuals who had plenty '.ol mon- life's work, for suoh desorip- ey.

MAY TAKE IN THE YUKON The Ottawa Citizen says: \"The province of British Columbia is understood to be applying for the control ot the Yukon territory, a step long contemplated. No confirmation of the report is obtainable here, but the province is said to be anxious to annex the territory, the administration of which by the Dominion involves a financial loss. \"United States railway interests are reported to be,waiting for the absorption of the Yukon by British Columbia before proceeding with plans for an all- rail access to Alaska.\" The annexation ol the Yukon to British Columbia is without a doubt regarded as a live issue at Victoria Premier MoBride, however, stated in The Daily Province a few days ago that he hod, so far, taken no official action in the matter. \"Am I required to exchange wedding gifts in the department from which they were purchased?\" \"Not at all,\" said the floor walker. \"Thank you.

For the Best go to Alsgard's PBOPEB CASE OF GENULNE PEASLS How best to preserve pearls in all their pristine beauty is not understood by every one whs is fortunate enough to possess them. There is a widespread belief that it is good to near the gems next tbe skin to preserve their lustre. Few people, however, know everything there is to be knovn about pearls^The man who buys .ha\n outs them, sM handles old jewelry has the widest experience. One suoh man, who is now one of the richest diamond merchants in England, has stated that if you wear tha pearls next your skin you destroy them. The reason is this: A pearl is built up on a tiny particle of foreign matter, in some oases the embryo of a crab, whioh has entered the shell of aa oystsr; the foreign substance irritates the oyster, and it secretes a milky juice, which covers ths bit oi grit, or whatever it may be, with, a thin nacreous film. 'Each successive secretion lorn** \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD skin and the pearl is made up of these filmy delioate skins. A pearl the sire ot a large bead ia a compaot, hard s, which might be trodden on and not crushed; nevertheless it is likely to disintegrate; wearing it nut tha skin accelerates this process. It is ly known that the skin of a human being exudes waste acids and fats. These acids gradually eat their way into pearls if they are worn next the skin, and the filmy layers of the pearl gradually peel off. The only way to renovate a pearl which is in this condition is to strip off the defective lay- or layers. Then for a time the pearl will look well again, but, naturally, it will not have quite the same lustre!it had. As many as six skins be removed from a pearl, but, of oourse, with the loss of each successive skin it diminishes in value, as it loses in weight and lustre. My dear this pio tastes just a bit stale\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIt must be yesterday's. Tss, replied Mrs. Hardcrust, H you don't eat It today It will tomorrow's* and bs Whatever the result of the efforts which are still being made to eeoure adequate representation lor the government of Great Britain, at tbe Pana- ma-Paciiic International Exposition, to be held in San Francisco in 1116, it is certain that the Dominion of \"undue will play a moat creditable part in tlio celebration. The final plans lor the Canadiim pavilion, which is to be one of the handsomest among the building represunta- iative of foreign nations aad spates, Kere accepted January 21, and the process of actual construction will have begun before the publication of this article, under the supervision of Colonel William Hutchinson, al Ottawa, the Canadian Exhibition Commissioner Colonel Hutchinson arrived in San Francisco January 14 to inaugurate the work upon the building, preparatory to the arrival of the Canadian exhibit, which is now on the way to that oity. He was joined at San Francisco by George Freeman, the London architect who is designer of the building, and his staff. The pavilion, which will cost approximately S30U,0U0 will be the largest exposition building ever erected by the Canadian government. It will be 340 feet long, 240 feet wide and B0 feet high. The whole sum espended upon the building and its contents will be 1600,000 or more. A portion of the products that will orm the display were shipped several veeke ago from Ghent, where they were xhibited at the recant exposition hat city, a portion coming by ship by the way of Cape Horn, anil the emainder by the Isthmus of Panama Further exhibits, however, will be added of articles, products and animals, shipped direct to San Francisco from the Canadian provinces. The pavilion and these exhibits are by the Dominion government and it is probable that there will be additional ndependent exhibits arranged by many if not all of the several provinces. While the exhibit will cover all agri- ultural, manufacturing, and education al interests, great emphasis is being aid upon the importance of the Canadian live stock exhibit. Recently Charles K. Mitchell, minister of public works of Alberta, and Commissioner Lanagan of British Columbia were guests oi the exposition officials and in conference with I. D. Graham, assistant chief of the Live Stock Department, in reference to Canada's part in what is to foe the greatest live stock xhibit ever held at any exposition. View herds will be maintained by various record associations, constituting a continuous live stock show, and affording every visitor an opportunity not only to see live stock of different breeds, but to see animals that are certified by their record associations as being typical oi the breed they rap- resent. That neither the people of California the exposition officials nor those Englishmen who are oonversant with the importance of the matter, have abandoned hope of having a representative exhibit by the government of Great Britain at the exposition, was evidenced at a luncheon given by thci president and directors oi the exposition at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, to Sir Robert Balfour, during his no visit. In company with Lord Biohard Farrar Hersohel, Sir Robert has U conducted over the exposition grounds, shown tbe almost incredible progress of construction oi exhibit panaoes, the electrical models showing ths methods of Uluminatiobs, the sculpture studies and the mammoth activities of the horticultural department in preparing trees, plants and flowers which are to grace the grounds, and expressed him. self aa having received new confirmation oi his belief in. ths importance and novi table success oi ths exposition. \"I have not yet abandoned hope that Great Britain will participate in the exposition,\" said Sir Robert. \"1 can assure you that tha declination of the British government ha\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD not been due to unfriendly feeling, but wholly to a question whether British manufacturers oould be induced to eead a truly representative exhibit. \"I am not here to accuse or excuse, but to give actual facus oi the situation. \"Early last year the British Hoard Bi Trade sent a representative hen to look over the situation. On his return he reported prospects fa.'orable or a successful exhibit on a large scale ad on that score no chances would be aken in deciding to partspipate. The Board oi Trade oanvassed to see \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDko would send exhibits.

Money was carce and taxes already high and the government could not see it s way dear o accept the invltsition to martioipate.\" Sir Robert expressed hlmt practice and condition themselves for some time, whereas the locals hnve had ice loss than a week, before the game and were only able to hold a couple good practices. .Another thing, sevorul of the local players were moved to strange, positions at the last moment, thu* handicapping them still more, but taking everything info consideration the exhibition was very good, and much credit ia due the home boys for holding the score down to live against tho northern team who have held practically the some line up for the past four years.

It drops Iroui there into Japan and baok north to Kamchatka, crossing Behring Straits and descending via Vancouver, B.C., Seattle, Tucomu, and Portland lo San Francisco. The exposition will {rive cash prizes of One Hundred Thousand dollars, Shirty Thousand dollars and Twenty JThousund dollars and contributions rom individuals and cities en route .ill doublu this sum, it is said. Arnold Kruckman, newly appointed t nunuger of the bureau of aeronautics |pf thu exposition says that at present there are no other limitations of the race, and these, he holds, aro reasonable. In faot, he Bays, every condition nlroady has beeu mot, somewhere or other, by aviutora, \"More than anything else,\" said Mr. Kruckman, \"this race will show to the world the wonderful development of the flying machine. Probably the advances already made are known >nly to expert aviators themselves and to the comparatively few persons who ollow closely technical magazines. What will bo developed in another year is beyond imagination. PREMIER. McBRIDE WILL TOUR PROVINCE DURING SUMMER A big family can keep a man of most other temptations.

TRAFFIC IN BRITISH TITLE The Boandal in reference to the purchase oi titles and other honors, first broached by Sir George Kekewich and reiterated recently by Mr. D. A. Thomas, of Cardiff has received additional flavor by the publication of an article in thu \"(undid Review\", by Thomas G. Bowles, former member of parliament who has long been a thorn in the side of each party, iu which he gets down to details as to the scandal, Ue assorts that the Conservative funds, which in 1S74 totalled 20,000 pounds, rose to-tf0,ou0 pounds in the nineties, The Liberal lunds, which were very low in 1886, stood at 500,000 pounds in 1001 and are now estimated at 400,- 000 pounds. He assorts that the tariff for honors is 50,000 pounds for a baronetcy with anywhere from 150,000 to 400,000 pounds per peerage. He declares that correspondence passed between a party whip and a would-be peer who refueaed to pay the contribution. Thereupon the party whip expressed a fear that a cluim for the peerage would not be [considered. The would-be peer, however, threatened to publish the correspondence if hia name was not included in the next birthday honor list, and the name appeared. SUFFRAGETTES NOT IMP!

They expressed their feelings in such a pronounced manner that the pre ai/Jent ordered that all of the women be admitted. After hearing their presenilation, Preaident Wilson gave the women very slim encouragement, and baaed his failure to do so on the ground that he could not speak for hits partyuntil tho party had taken a position in the matter. Mrs. Glendowei - J^rans of Boston, who led the delegation \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDaid: \"I thought from what yt ,u said at Seagate when you wero a oandidate for president that you were it, fa-ror of our cause, but you were gunning for vates then.\" So chilled tun a, jme of these women by the president's rather frigid reoeritlon, that -when .departing, many passing him in single file refused to take his preffsrsd hand. , , ,.,.,, That tho per capita cansumption of water in most cities of North America ia inordinately high, can be shown by a comparison with centres of population in Europe. The tables below give figures taken from representative cities on both sides of the Atlantio and furnish a good basis- for such a comparison. Gal, per head per day St. John, N.B 200 Vancouver, B.

Russia 21 Mancheater, Englund 42 Ilovqnport, England 40 Average 35.5 It will bo seen from tho above that tho average consumption per hraJ in America i8 botween three and four times what it is in Europe. This ter- mendous difference can only be ac oun- ted for by assuming that the greater portion of tho water consumes in new world cities ia simply wasted. A consumption of 50 gallons per head per day ought to be ample for all purposes, and would still be about 43 por cent greater than the European average. Taking tho American average as 150 gallons, we see that oities on this ide of tho Atlantio are using 100 gallons per head per day more than it necessary. This unnecessary waste increases tho ities' financial burdens in many ways. The pumping and filtration plants must bo of needlessly large oamicity; ar more powor must be employed to orce a barge quantity of useless water through the mains; and tho dhlribu ion pipes and also the sewers that arry the water away, must both be igger than necessary. Mr. II. 0. JPyne-Roberle, M. Inst., C.E., esti- matea that in a city of 250,00(1 population, the extra cost of wator de livercd would amount'to (560,0110, or 12.24 per inhabitant. Further, tho difference in cost of aewerago anil sewage dispoaul would be 8-120,01: ^ 0r 81.67 per inhabitant. This means that city's water rates aro inoreapid by 83.91 for every man. woman, arid child of tho population, without anynnpre- oiable heneflt being gained for the extra outlay. Certainly some meana should be taken to check the present reckless waste.

MUNICIPALITIES The Municipal Apt, baud upon ths Hading ol the Boyal Commission on Municipal Government, whioh made its ,' report to ihe lost session oi the Legislature, was introduced Friday last by |tha Hon. W. J. Bowser, Attorney-General. The aot inaugurates a new departure in municipal procedure in British Columbia, and, while Its provisions ars by no means as stringent as those ol the Looal Government Board oi Great Britain, whioh exercises the strictest 'control over all municipal bodies, yet it proposes supervision ol all munioi- Ipal matters by aa inspector appointed | by a jnunicipul department oi the Government. This inspeotor oi municipalities whose olfioe shall be attached to the Attorney-General's department, shall have power to hold a publio inquiry into any oi the business ol s municipality, and bis findings, upon the approval oi the Lieutenant-Cover- nor-in-Council, shall be binding upon the offioials ol suoh municipalities. Under the proposed bill any municipality may submit money by-laws to the inspeotor for approval, and before issuing debentures must submit both the by-law and debentures to him lor approval. Hia oertihoate of approval shall be considered conclusive evidence ol the validity of the by-law or debentures ia all courts oi the province. Another ol the duties of the inspse- tor of municipalities will be the standardisation oi a system of municipal book keeping, espeoially with regard to the'issuing oi debentures, stock and treasury certificates. The result oi this proposal will be that all aocounts oi I municipalities will be intelligible to the citizens who takes an interest in his looal municipal affairs. The inspeotor is also empowered to inquire into the management of sinking iunds, | and his duties shall extend . to the books and accounts of the Board ol School Trustees. j Another important feature of the not las outlined by.Mr. Bowser, was ths voluntary establishment of a board of control in cities having a populiiiott 15,000 or more, on the vote oi three- .fourths of the members of the council. .The establishment oi this board ol control, which is optional, will vest the 'affairs oi government in a board composed ol the Mayor or Reeve ol a municipality and two comptrollers, who shall be nominated and elected from the city at large. Publio Utilities Dealing with ths question ol municipal control oi publio utilities, theiAt torney General pointed out that the franchises that were granted to the companies now operating ia B.C., were given at a time whan money was scarcer than it ia now, and when it needed considerable courage to embark on such enterprises as these franchises control and that, in view of this fact in dealing with the question of niuni- nicipalities entering into competition with any oi the established companies operating street railway, telephone and light systems, that ths vested interests oi ths operating companies, could not in fairness bs disregarded. \"As * result oi our deliberations we have oome to the oonolnsion that no municipality shall bs allowed to undertake work of this kind without the approval of the Lioutenant-Governur-in- oounoil.\" said Mr. Bowser. \"We do not say that approval will not be givon but it must be sought.\" The Munioipal Aot provides for the appointment by tbe Lieutenant-Gov- emor-in-Counoil oi aa guditor for every municipality where such an of- lioer has not been appointed by the offioials of that municipality. This oom- pulsory audit system, taken in oon- junotion with the standardising of munioipal bookkoeping methods and the compulsory statement, in pamphlet form, of the financial standing of the municipality, will keep a strong oheok on the expenditure of the munlolpsft ties and go far to conserve the rights of the eitlsens. Power of Referendum The ipower of referendum, which waa granted to municipalities under tha old aot. aad which it is felt has been muoh abused during the last lew years, will be ourtailed under the provisions of the proposed aot. The Attorney-General explained that matters over whioh the munioipal oommittee had no jurisdiction and whioh belonged to the pro- vinos or some other section oi the olvil government, had been submitted to the electorate, thereby involving a considerable waste of time and money. Under the news act all the provisions with regard to looal improvements whioh were included in the old not havo been eliminated and a new aot [Wring solely with this subject has been drafted. Power is conferred upon the oourt of revision to increase assessments -as wed as to decrease them. Other Provisions Among the increased powers given under the new act are powers to regulate the measuring and weighing of all articles of food, fuel, and to impose penalties for right, weight and short measurement; power to examine ,nd license moving pietaVs operators; power to regulate and .prohibit the erection of huts, shacks and tents, whioh c ight be a detrimental to the value ol surrounding property; power to regulate second hand stores and unk shops; power to compel manufac- urers to install smoke abatement apparatus, and power to regulate and collect rent for areas and cellars under sidewalks. Another important point brought out by the Attorney-General related to the' labilities that might be incurred by nunioipalities. He stated that by ths new bill, municipalities could makear. angement* with their banking institutions for sums covering the revenue or that year, but they must .not \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDrude upon the revenue of any luooeeding year. Under the same heading Mr. Bowser discussed tho powers of municipalities under the new act in relation to money by-laws, and stated that before any bill was submitted, a properly au- .horised official of the municipality would go into the whole matter of the proposed expenditure and ascertain de finitely the cost of the Heme, the mount of the debentures, the rate of interest and the details af the sinking fund. In thiB regard he indicated a very Important cham-o in the manner of no- ifyinir the public as to the submission of by-laws. Instead of as at present advertising the by-laws in the news papers for a certain period, the muni cipality would undertake to send a copv of the by-law to every one on he municipal list. For Benefit of Public In further reference to munioipal al airs the Attorney-General stated that it would be necessary lor all municipalities to lodge a copy of their - an- uol report with the new munioipal lepartment so that any one interested n its affairs might become acquainted with them at a minimum ol trouble, and expense, The financial papers, he said, had advocated a policy of this sort for a considerable time, as it gave he interested public el other parts an assurance that the affairs ot the nunioipalities were under proper sur- ^eillanoe. The subject of town planning and ubdivisions engaged the attention ol the Attorney General briefly. In re gard to town planning he stated that it had been decided to observe a conservative policy. Under the act three- fourths in number and value of the owners of property would be entitled to submit their proposals to the council and the counoil upon approving the same could sanction the work to be undertaken. Dealing with subdivisions, the Attorney-General recited \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD number af the difficulties that had already been onooun- tered and stated that as a result ol the provisions of the present act many districts had been plastered with streets for whioh the municipality had no earthly use. In order to get over this apparent difficulty he said that the new act provided for the owners of Bubdivisions rough grading the streets appearing on their plans. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD! O A RARE SLEEPING PALM. In Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, a specimen of the rare \"sleeping\" palm has beon lound, whioh is considered to be the only one in North America. The tree, whioh was brought to America by a young Australian botanist, William Robinson, gives out a peculiar aromatic odor. Its upper branches were loaded with a beautiful ralnbow-bued flower, giving forth a heavy perfume. Around the bass of the trees were the dead bodies of small animals and birds. The curator who discovered the the rare patui felt drowsiness steeling over him, and his son complained of the saras feeling. It was found that the tree whloh had originally been brought from on* of the South Sea Islands belonged to the species Coeineae somnambulae, or sleepinc -aim, whloh blooms only once in fifty years, and the flowers of which were formerly used ss a drug by the islanders. Samples of the flowers have been sent to the medical department of the University of California, where a test wiH be made to disoover the souroe of their peoullur properties, FREE DISTRIBUTION OF CORN AND ALFALFA SEED In order to stimulate Interest In the province in the growing of corn and .Haifa.

PHONE 8 Amusement* DRAMA OF THE HIGH SEAS Under the title of \"Captain Kidd\" the first drama of the high seas will be the attraction at the Opera House on Saturday, In-making thia production the idea was to .build a romantic adventure story around the famous pirate character of history. 'All* tha noveU ever written about the high sea marauder were searched for material, and the result has been .turning out a three-part production that will surely entertain and please all who witness it, David M. Hartford, one of the greatest actors of the present day plays the leading role, and right well does he enact the character of the celebrated and notorious pirate. He is supposed by an excellent company of well known actors, and hundreds of supernumerary characters are utilized. Money was expended with a lavish hand in order to secure the propor equipment for the scenic investiture, and there are abundant mechanically contrived effects, used so as to give the picture its proper place in the world of \"movies.\" This, the first production of its kind will be followed by others of a Hke nature and although the title might suggest ii picture of morbid surroundings, the management of the Opera House guarantees that there is nothing in the pioture, or Ub presentation that will offend oven the most fastidious. A CitV IN THE NIGHT One of the best pioture stories produced in England by the Barker Company, eutitled \"A Cry in the Night,\" will be shown at the Opera House on Tuesday ufturnoon and evening. It is fundamentally a story of high finance, but there is the tender thread of a love story running through it that makes tho story very attractive to all. The story is full of enthralling incidents and has many interesting features that mako it a worth while production. PBOTEA ' Trotea\" is a five-part feature picture somewhat after the style of Tigoiuur und Fantomas. only on a muoh larger and more magnificent scale, it is booked to appear at the Opera House on Friday, the 20th inst. It is the story of a remarkably clever woman, a diplomatic agent, abouodiug in thrilling incidents. 'Trotea\" is a woman such as we have not \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDten before in pictures. She is unique, charm ing; resourceful and bewildering. Her every action denotes the finished actress and athlete. She performs 'oats that fill one with astonishment and changes her individuality over and over again during the run of the story, The five-parts are replete with delightful natural scenery, excellently photographed and the incidents are presented in a manner that carries conviction in such a manner that Protea will an doubtedly create a sensation unlike almost any other picture ever shown here before. A RUN ON THE BANK A run on tho lending libraries and book stores of the city for copies of \"Graustark\" resembles a run on the bank. Bar MoCutoheon'B novel is amazingly popular. Everybody is reading it. All of whioh indicates the tremendous interest being taken in the stage production of this popular story MASQUERADE CARNIVAL AT ROLLER RINK The second masquerade carnival, held at the roller rink on Tuesday evening a, as expected, another very successful \"event..

The variety was large and many very pretty costumes us well as original and comic were ell represented. The judges, six in number were te- k'Cted from the largo crowd of on-look- ers and consisted of three Ladies and three gentlemen, Their awards wore as follows: Virst Fancy Lady, Miss M. Griffiths.

The judged found no easy task in selecting the winners, but on the awarding of the prizes, tho applause* which greeted the announcements showed vcy plainly that their choice waB popular with the crowd. After the prizes had boon distributed the floor was thrown open to all persons desiring to skate, and from that time on until nearly 11 o'clock the place looked more like a bee-hive than a ttkating rink.
