This was interspersed by short, interesting addresses by Rev. Mr. Dow, Rev. Mr. Brown and Rev, Mr, Reed, all of whom entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion.

If you want a suit or overcoat at 25 per cent off regular price, get it at the Poison Mercantile Company. Protesting against any suggestion of state aid towards the church in the lorm of the exemption of church property from taxation, a delegation -representing^the^Bapiist^JChurchj^jof^ British Columbia waited on tbe Municipal Committee in' the Legislature one day the past week. - They presented their case in writing and also argued their proposals before the committee. They stated that the suggestion made by some supporters of church exemption that, as the cities of Victoria and Vancouver had recently; exempted all improvements, and, therefore,1 had caused some additional taxation upon church land/and, as church buildings were exempt by statute, that some relief should be granted to churches, was an untenable one. Mr. Wm, Manson, chairman of the committee, informed the delegates thnt other deputations had agreed to the proposal that municipalities should be given power to submit the question of the exempt on of church properties to the people at any time if a three-fifth vote was recorded in favor of that step. In contradiction of this proposal, the delegates argued that it was a matter of principle, and that it should be disposed of one way or another. They took the ground that to make the question a constantly recurring issue at the polls would create an acrimony every time the referendum was proposed, which could not fail to be disastrous to the moral welfare of the community. Call and see new line of novelty pins, at Speers. The report emphasizes the general need on the part of farmers for the establishment of some system- of longT term loans' at low interest, and points out that in many old countries where 'the 'land has been under cultivation for. centuries it has been found, necessary to provide some special means of extending such credit. The commissioners point out that fche^employment^oLsome intermediate agency, such as a loan company, would increase the cost to the borrower, without increasing the security against losses, and therefore reco- mends the establishment of a non- political commission similar to those operating in New Zealand anhe 7y7j7:^ active .co-operation,' of \\ the railways^ty'^:^ and. express/'! companies.- operating '������������������������������������������������������ in'. r 7 -/^.','������������������..': ������������������, the-Province.

The report points out that the whole system of agricultural education, should be extended and gives some attention to the courses of study for the new University of British Columbia. The commissioners suggest that a separate portfolio of agriculture should be . established, so that the minister could devote his entire time to the work. In connection with tbis proposal the report calls attention to the establishment in other coun. tries of consultative councils whose functions are to advise the minister and keep him in touch with the agr - cultural classes, and therefore sug- , gests that an advisory board of agriculture, consisting of nine members should be created.

FEBRUARY .26, 1914 THE SAFE POSITION No doubt Manager Robertson, of the Central Selling Agency of the United Growers \"Ltd., of the\"' Okana7 \"gan, has had his hand full of complications the past' season, 'which have caused misunderstanding and \"no- little complaint from those effected by the conditions he has endeavored' to clear up. But there can be no question as to his straight, safe, business methods, and he has richly deserved the unanimous support oi the directors which has been given him. In a brief speech at the meeting of the executive held last week, Mr. Robertson clearly expressed himself on the policy of the Selling Agency when he said: \"It is possible to materially reduce central charges for next year, and it might be possible to fix charges at the net cost of last year's business, he believing that with a good volume of business refunds could be made even from these rates. He urged that if the locals put their own house in order most of JJlg__fliffi.cJjltie_s___would be., done away. f fame, can only be kept at bay with the aid of the women's vote. Bad housing and under-payment of work, avoidable diseases, etc., will come to B. C. as they came to Australia and New Zealand in due course .unless the people are watchful- and determined that the land shall be kept clean. Experience has shown that the men alone cannot accomplish this: it takes the intelligence and conscience of a whole nation. :' The. women of B. C. will not be slow to demand the privilege that their sisters *m the western states of the United States^already' have, and I venture to hope that the' men of B.

The City \"Council could not see its way clear to consider the application of Mr. A. Fulton to be reimbursed by the city for moneys loaned by him to the Board of Trade for the purpose of making the apple show exhibit at Vernon in 1912, arid last Monday evening the city clerk was instructed to refer Mr. Fulton to the secretary of the Board of Trade for a settlement. This may be the proper course to pursue. But it does not settle ,the matter. The Board of Trade will no doubt be brought to life again, as it should be. But it is not to be expected that the few businessmen who will have to carry it along, will take upon themselves the payment of the liabilities of the old board���������������������������liabilities which were incurred in good faith on the strength of the petition of the ratepayers presented to the 1913 council asking that a special tax be levied to raise a publicity fund. The petitioners' request was not carried out, wisely we believe, when we consider the turn which finances took the past year. Instead, the 1913 council appropriated the sum of $800 out of current revenue at the time the years estimates were made, in April, for the purpose of paying off all indebtedness incurred.by the board oh the strength of. the petition. But the estimate thus made was not realized and the liabilities of the Board of Trade were not liquidated. The action of the new council will no. doubt force the Board_of Trade (or the businessmen of Enderby) to get together and take the matter in hand and clean J up.the business now being tossed from the shoulders of the board to those of the council and back again. The . liabilities were in curred on the credit of the city and cannot ba repudiated. ��������������������������� : \\-.

When the population increases, and towns spring up, strong laws and a healthy public opinion to enforce them, are necessary. This can only be brought about by an enlightened and progressive nation of men and women. The record of the countries where women have thc vote show that, though there may be mistakes, their influence is thrown on the side of a better and healthier national life. It will be necessary to see that tbere are strict laws against adulteration oi tood, such as the women have helped to bring in In Australia.

C. Press Gallery, B.C. 'Legislature, Victoria, Feb. 23.���������������������������With the passage of the $10,000,000 Loan Bill, the presentation of a measure to increase Provincial aid to the Canadian Northern Pacific railway company by $10,000 per mile (an extension of time being also provided for in connection with the several branch undertakings of the company to 1916), the preliminary caucussing of the greatly reduced estimates of Provincial expenditure for the coming year, and the inauguration of night sittings of the House, the beginning/of the end of the 1914 session of the Provincial Parliament is at hand. It is expected that prorogation will take place on the 6th of ��������������������������� March,- and that almost immediately thereafter Prime Minister Sir Richard McBride will leave for Ottawa, there to confer with Premier Borden on a variety of extra-important matters: Asiatic exclusion legislation, the Better Terms question and commission, federal aid for railway undertakings in western Canadian territory, etc. It is currently believed here that the conference of the Premiers will also embrace the question of the filling of thc High Commissionership for Canada, and that it is more than a bare possibility that Hon. Mr. 'Borden himself will go to London in the late Lord Strachcona's place, his mantl of leadership falling upon Sir Rich ard, who now appears to find in Hon Robert Rogers his only formidabl rival. ' _ ��������������������������� \"' ' Although the Loan Bill, railway legislation and the new Forests Act constituted by far the most important parliamentary business of the just ended week, discussion did not by any means focus upon these measures, but rather upon the\" .well-worn theme of the Nanaimo strike disturbances, which the Opposition has been working to the uttermost , linrAt for local political 'capital. - . ' ��������������������������� - .* ' -:. ���������������������������'���������������������������Under the- new. ��������������������������� Canadian- Northern- Aid Act, the Provirice;guarantees-'pay- ment of both principal and interest. .m bonds-1 and*,debentures -to--' an amount not to .exceed'\"-$10,000/per mile additional on' the company's main line. , Under the original'agreement ratified by the legislature in January, 1910, the Province guaranteed the 500 miles from Vancouver to the Yellowhead Pass which constitutes the main line, to-the extent of $35,000- per mile; the new Act increases this*1 guarantee to $45,000 per mile. Interest \"on the securities under the new Act is fixed at 4J per cent and the principal matures* in April,\" 1950. ~ A provision is included \"which extends the time for completion of tlie several branch lines, including the Okanagan, by two years. There has been no serious celticism of the Loan Bill. The Finance Minister stated the whole case in brief when he said that \"we are Jai that stage^in-^the^-history^of-British-Co^ lumbia which demands rapid and full continuance of the policy of public works development that has marked the efforts of the Government during recent Tyears. The people of this Province are looking for an extension and an amplification of that policy.\" This expectation cannot be \"met out of revenue'. ' The public' has been told that in view of the \"great surplus recently on hand, no loan should be contemplated. But those who take this posit'ion do not stop to think why there was a surplus. Owing to the development of a wise financial policy, the revenue rapidly increased during a period of general and marked prosperity, and it was permitted to accumulate so that when the time seemed ripe, a comprehensive and general policy of public works development might be inaugurated. In the latter part of 1913 the Government decided that it was timely that this step should be taken, and this decision very happily synchronized with the beginning of a world-wide period of depression, and the whole Province will bear out the statement that if it had not been for this comprehensive policy of public works authorized by the legislature at-the Government's request, British Columbia would not have passed through the acute financial period with so-lit tie interruption oi its forward progress. '\"������������������������������������������������������*' The amendments to the Forests Act extending the present facilities for selling timber in small quantities and giving a longer tenure to the pulp leases, afforded Hon. Mr. Ross opportunity to explain to the House and public the various provisions of his new measure (evolved out of a practical experienoe and scientific study of the situation) and at the same time to elucidate various matters concerning the work of the Conservation Departments at which he is head. The Forests Bill met with the unanimous approval of the' House.. No amendment will this session be made to the Coal Mines Regulation Act; nor will the cumbersome annual petition of the Provincial suffragettes elicit any legislation. Under the new Act regarding censorship, theatres, cinematograph houses, etc., provision is made debarring film exhibitions on Sundays. As to the reports ' of the Royal 'Commissions on Agriculture and Labor, it is expected that the former will be before the House early this week, while on the. other hand the report of the Labor Commission will not be ready for presentation until the dying days of the session. No legislation based upon either of these reports will now be offered this session, yet it is understood that the reports are in certain respects so radical that they will indicate entirely new legislation next year along the lines of public activity with which they have to deal.

Anaemia is the medical term for poor or watery blood. It may arise from a variety of .causes, such as Mack of exorcise, hard study, improperly ventilated rooms or workshops, imperfect assimilation of food. ei;e. The chief symptoms are extreme pallor of the face, lips and gums; rapid breathing and palpitation of the heart after slight exertion; headaches, dizziness, sometimes fainting spells and a tendency to hysterics, swelling of the feet and limbs, a feeling of constant tiredness and a distaste for food. Dr. Williams' -Pink Pills fire a certain cure for anaemia, because they make new, rich blood, which stimulates and strengthens every organ and every part of the body. The following is one among thousands of cases of this serious trouble cured bv the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills. Miss Goorg- itia Rayfond. St. Jerome, Que., says: \"About a year ago my health began to give. out.. I suffered from headaches, heart palpitation, dizziness and appeared to be threatened with a general breakdown,.

Then a friend advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, saying that she had found a cure through them in similar conditions. I took her advice, got a supply of the pills and took them regularly for some time. Gradually I became strong and In the course of a month or so T was again enjoying the best of health! and have not since had the~leasLreturn~ofihe old symptoms.

Reports from California, Florida and Spain point to a shortage of large \"bold* fruit. American shippers have great hopes 'of exploiting the British market successfully this winter. They mean to exact the last farthing for their goods. This policy is not altogether wise, because once an article���������������������������especially fruit ���������������������������becomes prohibitive in price a reaction is sure to set in and the public will not have it. Par better results are obtained by keeping the cost at a moderate level, thereby securing continuous patronage. \"Of late years the tendency has- been to provide cheaper and not dearer fruit.

Secretary!^ CARELESS OF IMPORTANT ASSET Dr. Fernow says that in. \"walking along the streets of any city one will find at least from 25 to 50 per cent, of the trees in a damaged condition.\" In the small towns of Eastern Canada,^ particular, it is safe to say that at least 75 per cent of the shade trees need attention, ior, unlike thc cities, these towns employ no \"tree doctors\" to guard the health of the trees, and even trimming is done but irregularly, and often carelessly. Yet if the shade trees in many of these towns were destroyed one of their chief attractions would be gone. English apple'; growers' 'are. waking up tol the necessity of thiir\" adopting more modern methods*in the marketing of; their fruit;, if they .'are to compete' with the fruit1 from tAmerica. And, as is usually/the case, the'ma- . jority of- the English growers take very unkindly to the' innovation; and find many objections. But it is apparent that tthe English apple \"grower ha- lanx of opposition. On many points, however, all are agreed.- That good fruit only should be raised for market is the universal opinion, but on the all-important subject ol packing there are not many who are willing to depart \"from\" old \"and cherished conditions. Certain people who have achieved notable successes at Covent Garden are strangly of opinion that the best English fruit should be packed in boxes. Others would have thc growers adhere to the time- honored system of bushel and half- bushel baskets. They have all kinds of objections to the introduction of the modern box One of their principal arguments is that only one- tenth of the crop is sufficiently good in quality and appearance to be put in boxes. That, no doubt, is correct. 'Then what is to become of the remaining nine-tenths?' they plaintively ask. 'Pack them in barrels or bushels as the occasion demands,' is the obvious reply. \"It is the old tale of a few enterprising and go-ahead people being opposed by a majority who cling tenaciously to antequated ideas. Up to now the latter have earned a comfortable living, and even more, by strict adherence to conventional methods. They will not appreciate the fact that the time has ������������������ome when English growers must be up and doing, and engage in commercial warfare with up-to-date weapons.

It must be taken to a packing-shed or barn and there carefully selected, graded and packed. Only a small percentage is good enough to put into boxes, but the extra money obtained for the fruit fully justifies the increase of expenditure in labor and other details. The advent of boxes does not signify the extinction of baskets. Far from it, indeed; but it certainly provides a means of enabling the English growers to compete against foreign apples, which are on the market at the same time, as theirs.\" f 7:ENDERBY'MUSICi'STORE^^Gn^fm-m , f- - *VJ J ���������������������������, - J , V, *.* -,-��������������������������� * X , '/ - * ,. \\ ,. . ��������������������������� t JM- ��������������������������������������������� ������������������ ������������������ ������������������ ���������������������������' ��������������������������� .���������������������������' ������������������ ,���������������������������.,���������������������������>.��������������������������� ���������������������������>-'���������������������������'.������������������ ��������������������������� ,������������������';���������������������������':���������������������������.; . r.K.r-f ���������������������������&-' *XWJ*l ���������������������������Copyrighi ipr ChislStiUi. . i C*Iun,bu*.a MUST KEEP PRICE MODERATE It is only natural that the grower should demand the very best price his commodity will bring. He has the right to' expect a price that will make fruit-growing profitable. And yet the price to the consumer must be reasonable if the market is to 6e steady from season to season. The trouble, generally speaking, with the fruit market, and the occasional soaring of prices, is not so much on account of the avariciousness of the growers as it is of the commission men and the wholesalers. They, too, wish to make the most out of the produce they handle, and can always be relied upon to take advantage of any extra demand owing to a shortage within their field. But there is a limit that they cannot afford to go beyond. It is nicely pointed out in the London-Daily Telegraph, commenting on the condition of the apple market in the metropolis. It says: \"Most American apples are large this year, there being a scarcity of small and medium-sized fruit. This is unfortunate, as the majority of if oik do not like too large an apple at the end of a' meal.

Enderby THE ENDERBY PRESS AND WALKER'S WEEKLY Thursday, February 26, 1914 ROYAL COMMISSION REPORT Continued from first page following lines: Firstly, that certain areas be thrown open for closer settlement; and that these areas be surveyed with special reference to the quirements of such settlement; secondly, that to carry out this recommendation a separate branch oi the Land Department'-be formed to be called the Land Classification Branch and that nil remaining unalienated land in the Province be reserved for opening up on this principle; the Land Classification Branch to decide what acreage is a \"living area\" in each district. With regard to thc disposal of thc land in these areas, thc report suggests that they be open ior either pre-emption or purchase, and that both clauses be subject to the completion oi specific improvements before a crown grant is issued. The report also recommends that purchasers be exempt from the residen- otial obligation and on account of this exemption,, the conditions of improvement be made more onerous for the purchaser than thc pre-emptor. In dealing with the conditions affecting agriculture in British Columbia, the commission reports that the increase in the price of land, due to the rapid growth Oi the coast cities, has resulted in a large acreage being withdrawn from cultivation, that too many of the settlers have been without capital and were unable to obtain the necessary credit. The commissioners are of the belief that in many cases the small returns of farmers have been due to lack of cooperation, and says that in some instances discouragement and disappointment were due to misrepresentation by real estate agents. The commission suggests that prisoners should not be kept at stone- breaking, but should be employed in - a more- useful business of drain tile- ,making, or quarrying and crushing - -lime for farm purposes. The report deprecates the employment 01 prisoners upon' the roads, as is done in some places, and proposes that where prisoners are employed at useful and productive work, a wage should be given them which should go to the support of their families, if married, or should be retained for use on their release, if they have no dependants. The extension of thc rural telephone system is strongly urged, and its value both' in development and as a protective measure is recorded. The report proposes a modification of the Saskatchewan telephone system, and that the Government should aid in extending the service. State aided immigration of farm laborers and domestic servants is advocated, and it is suggested that the money obtained from the Chinese head tax be used for this purpose The report states that there are 10,000 poor law boys in England who might be brought here and placed in resi- ���������������������������derrtial- riira-l\"=schools\"for\"a\"=_year7=after which they could be distributed among the farmers. Our big sale of Dry Goods If RAILWAY SUBSIDIES By and bye the people of Canada will discover' that if they'have to build the railways for. the private companies they may as well operate them. And when they make this discovery, then the people of Canada will have capital to do something else with besides paying interest for the railways on their bonded indeb- cdncss. It has been discovered by thc Dominion Parliamentary Commission enquiring into thc facts in connection with thc construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, that it cost the people of Canada something like forty millions of dollars more than was nccessacy to build the road. Last week the promoters of the C. N. P. appealed to the Dominion Parliament for further aid to complete the road, and the House' asked to see the books so as to learn what had already been given the road. It was\" discovered that no less than two hundred and twelve millions had already been given the C. N. R. And now the ' Province of B. C. is asl-ted to further assist the C. N. R. through this country, and the sum of twelve millions is to be provided. Of course we need the railways. But how we would ridicule and laugh at our cousins across the line, or our brothers in the other British possessions if they proved such gullible fish as we people of Canada have been.
