C, SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1 7. y. !//> ChllllvQakuprogrefis: Vol. XVII, No. 0 0 A WORD Or CAUTION. Hatepayers Asked to Use Judgment on Sumas Reclamation Scheme Perhaps at no time in the history of the Sumas Dyking Scheme has there been more necessity for the exercise of caution by the land owners, than at the present time. There seems to be a general impression among a large number of persons interested, that the Sumas Development Co. is going to undertake to dyke Sumas for a certain fixed sum. There can be nothing further from the truth however. The work is to be constructed under the General Dyking Act and Amendments of B. C. Sec. 17 of the Dyking Act of 1897 distinctly states that there cannot be any assessment registered against crown lands, so that the present assessment roll does not represent a true statement of the liabilities of the privately owned land, for if the amount assessed on the unassessable land (about 13,000 acres) be deducted from the roll, it would bring the assessment on the remainder (20,000 acres) about double the present assessment, showing that the present assessment does not represent a true statement of the facts as they exist. Referring to clause 5 of the Sumas Development Go's Act of 1905, the 20,000 would also be liable to bear the expense of rebuilding all new bridges on the Luk-a-kuk and raising the grade of all roads that might become impassible. Clause 7 of the same A Act, provides that $75,000 must be kept on deposit for all time, against any damage or repairs. As an illustration: Chilliwack Dyking District cost over twice the estimated cost. Coquitlam: three times the estimated cost. If the people sanction this proposition their Crown Grants are not worth the paper they are written on. If the land owners will take this into consideration they will snow under this proposition on the 19th of June, and save their homes from a band of unscrupulous schemers, The 1899 Amendment Act makes each separate parcel of land assessed, responsible forthe cost of the whole construction. Land which has not been overflowed but once since 1862 and 2 feet above the flood of 1894 can be wiped completely out by the bond holders. The commissioners can name only an estimated cost of the work and have power under sec. 40 to make a supplementary assessment. Clause 46. All fines, rates and assessments may be recovered by and in the name of the commissioners with costs, as if the same were private debts. Thus-any land owners who own property both within and without the Dyking District, if they do not oppose the construction of the work, all their land and private property down to the $500 exemption can be taken. The following will prove it. Clause 51. Where the person who at the time of the filing of the memorandum referred to in sec. 13 was the owner or occupier of any land, or his known agent or successor in title shall not have agreed to the execution of the work, the land only shall be liable for the rate authority on dyking matters, if he will correct, through the medium of the press, any mis-statemen that may have occurred in the above letter. Nelson, on the eve of Trafalgar, hoisted this signal, "England expects every man to do his duty." Togo hoisted a similar signal. Sumas expects every man and woman to do their duty on the 19th of June. Jos. H. Collison. Thos. H. Irwin. Thos. Lewis. VISIT OF 6ANE WARDEN Bryan-Williams Gives a Most Interesting Address Report of Cow Testing Associations At Cowansville, Que., the average yield of 119 cows for 30 days ending April 27, is 567 lbs. milk, and 22.8 lb. fat. The highest individual yield is 360 lbs. milk, testing 4.8. The Shearer, Ont, Association has an average yield for the same period of 624 lbs, milk and 19.9 lbs. fat. The best individual yield here is 880 lbs. milk testing 2.7 only. In the Association at Culloden, Ont., the average of 209 cows is 759 lbs. milk and 25.7 lbs. fat for the period ending May 7. There are several individual yields here of over 1000 lbs. milk, the highest being 1,385 lbs., testing 3.2. The 109 cows in the Spring Creek Association average 762 lbs. milk and 26.4 lbs. fat. Several individual cows here go over the 1,100 lb. mark, one good yield being 1,470 lbs. milk, testing 3.0 for the 30 days ending Mayl. At Hatley, Que., the average test is the same as at Spring Creek, Ont, namely, 3.4 for the same period, but the average yield is only 543 lbs. milk and 19.0 lbs. fat. The highest production of any one cow is 840 lbs. milk, testing 3.1. St. Armand, Que., from 161 cows averages 488 lbs. milk and 18.8 lbs. fat. Woodburn, Ont., with 79 cows has an average yield of 671 lbs. milk and 22.2 lbs. fat Almost all the duly organized associations are now at work, the members sending in their bottles of composite samples promptly. In another two weeks much fuller and better records than above may be expected. We will owe a debt of gratitude to either Mr, MacGillivray or Mr. Atkinson who are supposed to be VERDICT E0R $7,000 Mrs. Minnie Mckenzie's Family Wins Suit Against Municipality. Much interest has been felt in Chilliwack in the suit brought by Mrs. McKenzie of the Dominion Hotel against the Municipality of Chilliwack for damages because of the death of her husband by fire in the lock-up last October. The case was heard Monday of this week before Mr. Justice Morrison at the Civil Assizes at Vancouver. The jury returned a verdict for $3,000 for Mrs. McKenzie, and $2,000 each for Willie and Miss Lena McKenzie. We are indebted to the Vancouver morning daily for the following account of the trial: The case of McKenzie vs. Chilliwack occupied the attention of Mr. Justice Morrison all yesterday in the civil assizes. It originated with the fatal fire in the Chilliwack lock-up last fall, when Daniel McKenzie was burned in his cell. His family are now bringing action for unstated damages on the ground of negligence on the part of the Continued on page 5 The Game Protection Association held an enthusiastic meeting on Monday evening at the Court House, at which Mr. A. Bryan-Williams, provincial game warden, gave a most interesting address. The president, having accorded a welcome to Mr. Williams on behalf of the Association, stated the disappointment felt by all sportsmen in the province at the failure of their attempt to get the Game Act opened at the last session and game licenses imposed in order to raise funds for the appointment of deputy game wardens, petitions having been circulated all over the province and thousands of signatures appended. Delegates attended at Victoria to urge upon the government the necessity, so apparent to every lover of sport, of further protecting game. The Chilliwack petition contained over 200 signatures, and had in it a column showing whether a farmer wished to be exempted from paying a license while shooting on his own property, only 19 signed in favor of being exempted and the rest in favor of paying the license. The delegation to Victoria was apparently favorably received by the executive, but the caucus decided not to open the act last session. This is not a ""matter of party politics but one that has become so generally recognized by the people that it would seem nec- cessary for all members of the Legislature of whatever shade of politics to work together and push it to a conclusion. Mr. Williams in addressing the meeting cited the state of Maine as an example of what could be accomplished by the protection of game, and stated that game having become depleted, a commission was appointed to look over the country where it had been plentiful and only a single deer was seen, that after a few years' protection on going over the same country 1600 deer were counted. The residue derived from licenses and the expenditure for supplies, and money put in circulation through game in the state of Maine amounted to $25,000,000, and there was a direct revenue from licenses alone, of $24,000 in 1905. In the great general depression in 1894 when all the other states were suffering, the state of Maine remained in a flourishing condition, entirely owing to revenue derived from game. What has been done there could be accomplished to a greater degree in British Columbia which is naturally a far finer game country. Last year 69 people coming for sport left $120,000 in British Columbia. So far he regretted through lack of funds, only having 3 deputy game wardens on a salary looking after big game from which a revenue was derived, and that he was unable to do what he wished for small game, he hoped however this would be rectified. Some good work had been done by depnty wardens without salaries, one at sumas having collected $200 from Americans in $5.00 licenses last year. The following resolutions were passed: that this meeting requests Mr. Williams to have Mr. A. P. Cummins appointed a deputy game warden for the municipality and to do all in his power to get the game act amended and a gun license not exceeding $2.00 imposed, to provide funds for game wardens; also to make application to the Lieutenant Governor in Council to open the shooting season on October 15th, and make it close as at present for the feathered game, for the municipality of Chilliwack. An amendment was proposed by Mr. Maxwell Stuart that a license of $5 be imposed on nonresidents in Chilliwack, which was withdrawn after considerable discussion, it being shown that this could not be specially enacted for the district in the Game Act, and if enforced by the municipality the Municipal Act would nave to be amended and that the object sought of preventing non-residents shooting without permission would be attained if a general $2 license were enforced and wardens provided. In this connection Mr. Williams stated that great complaints had been received from farmers on Lulu Island who were over-run with trespassers shooting. A few game wardens were sent out, and after 11 cases had been taken and 9 convictions obtained, the nuisance was entirely stopped. Dr. McCaffrey suggested that a subscription list be started to provide funds for a game warden in Chilliwack which was favorably received and the president stated thatitwould be immediately acted upon, and members of the Association also asked to pay the secretary, M. P. Empey, any subscriptions due the Association. With a vote of thanks to Mr. Williams the meeting closed. PROVINCIAL EXCHANGE G. N. RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION. Wcrk Being Pushed-Riqhtof-Way Nearly Complete. Interviewed by the Advance while in town last week, R. N. Pearson, resident engineer of the G. N. Ry. at Abbotsford, stated that the work on the line between Sumas, Wash. andCloverdale,was being pushed ahead as rapidly as possible. The clearing of the right-of-way will soon be completed and grading is in progress on the different sections. The entire distance of 30 miles is divided into three sections of ten miles, each under a separate engineer. Mr. Pearson has charge of the Abbotsford section. A large steam shovel is now being moved down the Yale road from Abbotsford for use in grading this section, and a second is expected shortly. It is slow work getting these shovels into position as they can only be moved about a quarter of a mile per day. The chief obstacle, thus far, to the rapid progress of the work has been a shortage of men. With the prevailing scarcity of labour it is difficult to predict just when the line will be ready for the rails, but it is the evident purpose of the company to make all possible speed. Chilliwack will watch with interest every step of the work, hoping that steps will be taken to push the line into the valley at an early date. Organized at Revelstoke-Good At- tendance-Chllllwack on Board. The representatives of the different Farmers' Exchange & Fru; c Growers' Associations, assembled in adjourned meeting at Revelstoke on the 22nd ult. The attendance was good and the delegates manifested much enthusiasm over the proposal to organize a Provincial Exchange, which was outlined in these columns at the time of the first meeting at Armstrong a few weeks ago. Reports showed that the various organizations representated had heartily endorsed the general plan, and had approved of the proposed constitution and bylaws. It therefore only remained for the convention to give effect to the wishes of the bodies which had sent delegates, and proceed to formal organization. The memorandum and articles of association as previously drafted, were adopted with slight amendments, the organization to be known as The Fruit & Produce Exchange of British Columbia, Ltd. Directors were elected as follows.���For three years, P. H. Wilson, Chilliwack; for two years, Dr. Wade, Kamloops, and H. Smythe, Revelstoke; and for one year, Jas. Johnstone, Nelson and J. M. McCalium, Salmon Arm. It is gratifying to note that Chilliwack's representative headed the pole, thus being elected for the longest term. At a subsequent meecingof the board of directors the following officers were elected, Jas. Johnston, President, H. Smythe, Vice-President, W. J. Brandith, Secretary, pro. tern. Applications being called for, for the office of Secretary Manager, the Board adjourned to meet again at Revelstoke on June 12th, when it is expected that the appointment will be made- Mr. Wilson reports that the delegates were treated royally by the Mayor and members of the Board of Trade of Revelstoke, being lunched, driven round the city and shown every possible courtesy. With the hearty support of all the .principal fruit growing districts of the Province, the new organization is being launched with a most promising outlook. A Painful Operation- The many friends of Mr. W. T. Jack- man will learn with profound regret that it has been found imperative, in order to prevent a further encroaching of the trouble that Mr. Jackman has been a patient sufferer from for years, to amputate the effected limb at a point half way between the knee and ankle joints. In the hope that amputation might be avoided, two minor operations were performed by eminent surgeons at different dates prior to Wednesday last, but the seriousness of the case demanded the third and most trying operation, and this was performed on the morning of Wednesday, 29th inst. Latest reports from Mrs. Jackman are to the effect that the patient, although enduring much suffering, is doing as well as can be expected. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. Jackman and family at this time and a speedy healin of the injured limb is hoped for.

The Vice- President, Mr. T. S. Annandale, in moving the adoption of the report, stated that he much regretted the fact that the the President, Mr. T. J. Trapp, was unable to be present and preside at the Annual Meeting, but that in his absence he would do his best to lay before the Shareholders the facts regarding the business of the Company, and stated that the past year was the first in which the Company had operated outside of the handling of Safety Deposit Boxes, and that the result of the Company's operations for the year was most j successful, and the Directors were I able to declare a half-yearly divi- i dend at the rate of 10 per cent- per annum, besides carrying a 1 very handsome amount to reserve; likewise that the financial stand- | ing of the Company was now such i as to enable it to transact more \ important business which the !

Ryall, another of the Directors, in seconding the report, also touched upon the success of the handling of Safety Deposit I Vault Boxes by the Company, for which there was a growing demand, and also in the course of > his remarks stated that The Westminster Trust & Safe Deposit Co., Ltd. was the pioneer Company in the Province to instal Safety Deposit Vault Boxes, and was, therefore, he deemed, entitled to the patronage of the public for taking the initiative in affording this great convenience to the public. Mr. F. J. Hart, the Managing- Director, being called upon, gave a brief review of the career of the Company, which was called into existence in 1904 to provide a much needed and important link in the chain of monetary Initiations in Canada, and that it's initial efforts had been devoted to the operations of Safety Deposit Vault Boxes, but that the Directors had later deemed it advisable to branch out into other lines, and the authorized capital of the Company during the past year had been increased and additional powers obtained, and the Company was now in a position to handle all work coming within the scope and powers of a trust Company.

From the conservative way in which the business has been handled and the personnel of the Board of Managers, all being prominent and well known business men, the future of the Company will be one that that the citizens of New West- city and district may well feel proud of.

A Detroit paper commentiug upon the accident in the Walker Distillery at Windsor, Ont., says ten thousand gallons of mash in which William Kenny was drowned in a distillery will be made into whisky and served in approximately 550,000 drinks to patrons of bar rooms.

A mud-turtle sat on a stone in the sun, And blinked in a slow stupid way; A vain little fly Came loitering by, And stopped on that same rock to say: "You're tne ugliest creature that ever I saw; You are clumsy, and stupid, and slow, And just how you manage a living at all. Is a thing I should much like to know." But the mud-turtle spoke never a word As he sat in the sun on the stone; He wearily blinked, He thought as he winked, That a wise fly would let him alone. But the fly had grown proud of his power to torment, And he buzzed at the mud-turtle's head, Till the the turtle at last gave one short little snap, And the critical insect was dead. It is really too had that the fly never knew That the turtle was wiser than he; For a creature that thinks, As it winks and it blinks, May a dangerous enemy be, And because one can chatter, and buzz. and annoy 'Tis no proof he is clever or wise. He may do no more good than to serve as food For the one whom he feigns to despise. -Josephene Page Wright. The Source of Neuralgia. It runs hand in hand with poor blood and weak nerves.

BURTT MORGAN,- Editor and Proprietor. THE BOOM MENACE. Of the enemies which menace the real progress of any country in prosperous times, there is probably none to be more feared than the real estate boom. In this western cojntry particularly, the tendency to create an artificial demand for property in time of commercial activity is almost invariable, and the resultant evils are quite as certain. It is safe to say that there is not a settled community in British Columbia, ten years old or upwards, which has not passed through at least one experience of this character, and yet we see these samecommunitiesplunging into the swirl of a second or even a third experience with as much apparent abandon as if they had never passed through the ordeal before. In most instances we are emphatically assured that there is no "boom," real estate is only active and prices are well within the mark, until the crash comes and everybody is brought to their senses when it is just too late. Iu view of what has so often taken place elswhere, it seems to us that a word of caution is timely in Chilliwack at the present moment. It is beyond argument Unit we have in this municipality one of the very finest sections of agricultural country on the pacific coast. Soil, climate and scenery combine to produce a result rare indeed, and the consequence will inevitably be that every acre of ground will be in demand for genuine homeseekers in the near future. The valley can easily sustain a population five times as large ns it now has, und with such a thriving com- ��� munity at the back of it thetown is bound to increase proportionally. With ad vancing prosperity, industries are sure to be established and the natural resources of the place utilized in ways at present unthought of. In short, we have got a good thing, and we know it. But just here let us pause and consider the danger to which we are liable of being too eager to reap today the fruitage of tomorrow's development. An error at this point may prove fatal to the very thing which we hope to accomplish, aud turn the dial of progress back by years. In our opinion we are threatened with just such a danger at the present time. Property prices have advanced very rapidly during the past year, and it is fair to ask if values have advanced at the same rate. Prices may not be too high yet, but how long will it be at the present pace before they will have shot beyond the i"il v.lines and the danger land oi s|ti'L'uhition reached. Already we have visitors complaining ol the prices asked, and have seen them turn away to invest their money elsewhere. What we all desire is more settlers and it is of the highest importance that no obstacle should be placed in their way. Better that we should be moderate in our demands and give the other fellow a chance to make something, than that the tide of immigration should be diverted to other places and Chilliwack be given the go-by. In other words it is highly to the interest of everybody, that the influx of people should continue, and all should jealously seek to gaard the hen that must lay for us the golden ejig. Let the watchword then be, "Chilliwack must prosper, but not boom." LOCAL Give us your eye Farmers 1 The regular spring meetings of the Chilliwack Farmers' Institute will be held as follows:-Dr. S.

They are the tailors who dress the natty and smart looking men you see upon the streets. They have a full line of Serges, Worsteds, Tweeds and Pantings to choose from and their work is of the best. They can dress you from top to toe in the most stylish up-to-date clothing to be found upon the Const. f he McKenzie Damage Suit. Continued from page 1 municipality to see that the prisoner was safely guarded. Mr. Joseph Martin, K.C., and Mr. W. C. Craig appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. R. L. Reid for the defendant municipality. The case was tried before a jury of eight. The evidence showed that McKenzie had been arrested at 6 o'clock in the evening for being drunk and disorderly. Between 8 and 9 in the evening a fire occurred in the cell and a little later McKenzie's dead body was found there, he, apparently having been suffocated by the smoke. Mr. Calbick, the municipal constable, is at the same time poundkeeper and lamp lighter, and at the time the fire occurred he was away attending to the lamps. Mr. Martin argued that it was the bounden duty of the municipality, after arresting a man, to see that every possible precaution was taken to safeguard his life, and in this instance this had certainly not been done. Mr. Reid urged that it was not the municipality, but the Criminal Code that ordered the arrest of criminals. In this case no negligence was shown, as it was out of the question that the municipality could keep one man to watch the gaol because one man was in it. His Lordship agreed that it would bejabsurd to expect a municipality tq engage wardens es pecially to guard one prisoner by taking watches in turn. So far as the construction of the cell went, it was built not by the municipality but by the province. How the fire originated was simply a matter of speculation, and could not be considered in evidence. The jury retired and after a long absence brought in a verdict of $3,000 forthe widow and $2,000 each for the two children, $7,000 in all. When motion is made for judgment Mr. Reid will move for a non-suit on technical grounds. Happiness is a habit���contract it. JUSTINIANPELLY Barrister and Solicitor at Law. Chilliwack, B.C.

An important decision waa given by Mr. Justice Riddell in the case of the railway conductor to whose neglect was due the fatal collision on the Grand Trunk at Gourock about a year ago. The sentence was three years in the Provincial Penitentiary. In the course of his address, the judge severely arraigned the prisoner for the reckless greed which led him to work such unreasonable hours, as to unfit him for the exercise of his responsible trust. He also deplored the cruel waste of human life in railway accidents, and stated that more men were killed in Canada every year by sheer negligence, than Canada lost in the Boer war. Day by day the butchery is going on, and sturdy young Canadians are maimed for life or killed and lost to the country. We read of these things and take them as a matter of course unless some of our own may chance to be the victim. We must beware of the crime of holding human life cheap. In the steady increase of travel, and the demand for speed accidents are inevitable, but every accident should be probed to the bottom, and when due to neglect or carelessness, the responsibility must be laid on the right shoulders and the sternest penalty inflicted. -The Presbyterian. will come in time we do not doubt, but at present the colonies (some of them at least) look askance at it. The idea of an Imperial Council, also, where all the colonies should be represented and have a voice in Imperial affairs, is as yet a dream. But there can be no doubt that the Imperial bond is strengthening, while the misunderstandings and jealousies, that formerly may have existed, are slowly being dissipated. These things cannot be hurried; but there seems no reasonable ground for doubt, that the Imperial idea is slowly capturing both the colonies and the home land; and the Colonial Conferences have been an important factor in the accomplishment of this much-to-be- desired end. ���The Christian Guardian. Opinions differ as to the actual outcome of the conference of the Colonial Premiers in London. The matter of a British preference for Colonial goods seems to have been pronounced by the British Government as impossible; and will not likely find any favor with the present Government. But while the Government felt that it could not go to the length that the Colonial Premiers desired, there is a possibility that it will enter most heartily into a scheme for most liberally subsidizing lines of steamships, that shall in no small degree facilitate inter-empire trade. On the other hand, the Colonial Premiers were not prepared to accept any definate scheme, by which they should contribute to the vast war-burden of the Empire, or the maintenance of its huge navy. That this The Montreal Herald has drawn $187,980 from the Ottawa Government during the past ten years, while the Toronto Globe has roped $35,000, in addition to the Crow's Nest graft. These are the days when Sir Richard Cartwright is not nearly so active in his opposition to a subsidized press as we would like him to be. ���Mail and Empire. Laurler and Botha. It does not appear that Sir Wilfrid Laurier as a member of the Colonial Conference, has advanced in the least degree any of the projects and policies which he professes to advocate in Canada. Representatives of Australia, New Zealand and Cape Colony came out strong for preferential trade throughout the Empire. But Sir Wilfrid's chief colonial ally in all matters of Imperial interest was Premier Botha, of the Transvaal, late commander of the Boer forces. It is said that this gentleman divided with Sir Wilfrid the honors of the occasion. Sir Wilfrid once said that he would have shouldered his musket on the side of the rebellion if he had been a dweller in the west, and as General Botha was in arms against the British Government they naturally have something in common. It is fair to General Botha, however, to say he was not a British subject when he was fighting British and Canadian troops. ���Fredericton Gleaner.

Promontory Flats was the objective point. A picnic with sports, and a climb to the peak of Mt. Tom were attractive features on the programme, Well chosen committees had everything pre-arranged, so that not a hitch occured in the day's proceedings. The site for the temporary camp, which proved to be admirably adapted for the occasion, waa located on Mr. E. A, Thornton's farm. The sports were unique in the variety of funny features introduced, and cash prizes kept up a renewal of interest for the youngsters. Many availed themselves of the' mountain climb, and from the' lofty height of Mt. Tom they were' well rewarded by the panoramic view presented. If distance and height do lend enchantment to our valley, peacfully enshrouded by its giant keepers, the majestic mountains showed to advantage the heritage left us by the pioneers who have left whole treasures in the shape of reclaimed lands, fertile farms and well- kept roads. Still a large proportion of the valley consists of the primeval forest, and whether electricty or steam wins the race to our valley is a matter of little importance so long as an influx of the right kind of settlers are brought in to transform the waste places of our land-.- - Pardon the digression, we must hasten back to the picnic grounds, where matrons and maidens are dispensing their hospitable cheer and satisfying the most fastidious tastes.

In the meantime passengers may be accomodated by going to the Breakwater at A, Barrows, A very enjoyable dance was given at Minnehaha on the evening of May 25th, by the Victoria Day Assembly, About twenty five couples graced the floor to the excellent music rendered by the musicians, while the lady patronesses were very attentive to their duties during the entire evening. The Ballroom was artistically.decorated with bunting and evergreens, and great praise should be given to those who had the arranging of it. The assembly broke up by singing "God Save the King," In the wee small hours of the morning. On Sunday night or rather the early hours of Monday morning the residence of H. W. A Holden was completelydestroy ed by Ore. Mr. Holden and his family had been down town taking their little girl to her grandmothers with whom she resides while attending school at the Chilliwack public school and arriving home at 11:30 had retired to bed and sleep. About one o'clock they were aroused by their little boy aged four telling his father the house was full of smoke. Mr. Holden got up and found the upstairs in flames, he just had time to put his wife and children out onto the woodshed roof from which they slid to the ground, Mrs. Holden and children only saving the clothes in which they slept. The origin of the Are is not known, as the fire had not been lit since supper at 6 o'clock on Sunday evening. The house was insured for *700, but with the price of i labor and lumber thia sum will not I nearly cover Mr. Holden's loss and as he has only been farming for three or four years on his place it puts him in : poor shape. But no doubt we Wester- I ners with our usual generosity will see I that he is able to put up as good a ' house as he lost. I I The twenty-first annual conference of British Columbia held at Vernon, beginning on May 16th, was declared to be the largest and best conference in the history of the province. Vernon royally entertained the guests, one of the pleasant features being a drive to the famous Coldstream Ranch and the ]akes. The civic authorities of Vernon, Enderby, Armstrong and Kelowna, during the course of an evening session, welcomed the Conference to the beautiful Okanagan Valley. An event of interest was the presentation to Rev. T. Crosby of his new degree of D.D., conferred by the University of Victoria, Toronto. A. M. Sanford, B.A., B.D., of Vancouver, was elected president for the ensuing year, and Rev. A. E. Roberts of Victoria, secretary. The changes in Westminster district are as follows: A. E. Hetherington, B.A., B.D , goes from Mt. Pleasant to take the vice principalship of Columbia College, W. J. Jones goes to Burnaby* E. Manuel, Chilliwack, Allen K. Sharp' Langley, and Ed D. Broden, Cheam. About 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon smoke was seen rolling up in large volumes from the roof of the Dominion Hotel, and on investigation a merry little blaze was discovered among the rafters. The alarm was promptly rung in and within five minutes the firemen had two hose reels on the scene and connections made with the hydrant, and two streams soon had the blaze out. Great credit is due to the fire boys for the prompt manner in which they responded to the alarm. The linemen of the B.C. Telephone Co. rendered valuable aid and are deserving of every praise for the good work thoy did in helping to prevent what might have been a serious conflagration. The UBUal crowd was present' tendering all kinds of advice as to what to do and what not to do and the roars of laughter that went up from a few Rubes when a fireman got drenched with water by his companions who had all they could do to hold the nozzle of the hose with a pressure of about 140 pounds to the square inch, did not tend to put tho firemen in a very good humor. These men [give their s ervices gratuitorlsly and take chances of spoiling their clothes or getting seriously hurt >hil�� trying to save property and should not be made the butt of a few rattle brains who would make fun of a funeral. Tho damage did not amount to any mora than 110 or $15, covered by insurance. i&jyhKfeysaBSKig FURNITURE UNDERTAKING What is There in a Name ?
