BOARD OF TRADE MEETING A meeting of the Enderby Board of Trade was held in the' City Hall last Friday evening to hear the report of the committee appointed at the previous meeting to bring in a detailed report of the liabilities of the Board, handed down' from the previous year. The report showed in round figures the sum of $630; made up as follows'1: Vernon. News $ 282.65, Heaton's Annual 130.00 A. Fulton '.

The meeting adjourned until Friday evening, March 20th, when it is pos- sible some, word will have been received irom the city council as to the assistance asked for. INSTRUCTIVE LECTURES SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION The United Sunday School convention of the Okanagan Valley was held at Armstrong this-week, the attendance Tuesday, and Wednesday being exceptionally large. Some 15 delegates attended from the northern end of the Valley, and about 30 came up from the south on the special train from Vernon. Rev. I. W. Williams, secretary of the Provincial Sunday School organization, presided at the conference t Tuesday afternoon and evening. The strong points of Mr. Williams address were that adolescence is tho opportunity for the Sunday. School; from 16 \"to 19 he considered to be the criminal age. Everything depended upon the home; if thc teaching of the Sunday School were not magnified 'in thc home, much of it would be lost upon the children. How could you expect children to believe in the efficacy of prayer if they never saw the parents praying? He believed the teachers should be asked to the homes of the children so as to be. brought into closer personal touch with the parents and the children. . '' The Armstrong people gave the delegates a royal reception, the city band meeting them at the station and proceeding to the Opera House, where the conference was held. The Farmers' Institute lectures held in K. of P. Hall, last Thursday evening, March 5th, were well attended, and1 there was far more than the usual interest shown by the1 audience. The Speakers, H. Ei Upton, on poultry; T..jA. F. Wiancko, on farm dairy work; and Wm. Schulmerich, on hogs and dairy cattle, each handled the topic given for discussion in a clear, and convincing manner. Mr. Upton left nothing in doubt as to the proper care of poultry, and the handling of poultrry products.^ His strong argument was all on the side of the hen as a money maker, provided the care and attention is given, and the proper rules governing feeding and cleanliness are observed. He strongly /urged the feeding of sour skimmed milk instead of sweet skimtaied milk, and said that the--fowl' will get many-times'the good out of scalded alfall'aas-they will out of dry-alfalfa or-alfalfa meal.'- 7 Hel said the'^best chick feed was \"a mixture of cracked corn, oat meal \".and.\" wheat, and-adJ vised the use of this in preference to any of the \"prepare&7^chick foods'lie had come \"across.7' \"' - ,'*\" -'\" * Mr. Schulmerich was even more in-1 teresting in his address on hogs and dairy cattle than he was on his >pr,e- vious visit to Enderby two years ago^ He was as-strong in his admiration for this district as on his first trip the Valley, and even more strongly condemned the policy of the (anchers in allowing scrub bulls to roam the public roads. He said over in Oregon and Washington where he has farmed for 18 or 20 years, they used to raise wheat and oats year after year, and every time they shipped a ton of wheat it carried $7.50 worth of fertility with it. The result was that in a few years they found about the \"only thing to be piling up on the farm was the mortgage. Then they set-^aboutr-to=find���������������������������a-^remedy-for^the- evil. They found it in the dairy and hogs. ' One works hand in hanh with the other, and thc combination cannot be beat. He strongly advised our hay men to quit raising hay and get into stock. Every ton of hay carries with it off the land $5 worth of fertility. And he further advised growing of alfalfa instead of timothy for the farm stock. One pound of alfalfa has as much feeding quality ns three pounds of timothy, and he wondered why anyone should grow timothy when alfalfa is possible. Mr. Wiancko spoke as one having had 16 years' experience as a practical creamery man. He emphasized strongly the need of cleanliness in the handling of milk; in the stable, in the milk house, in the churn���������������������������in every department where milk is handled, the slogan must 'be \"keep clean.

The regular meeting of- the City Council was held Monday evening, the Mayor and all members excepting Alderman Mack present. The meeting was \".short but .very interesting, in that the' City Fathers talked over the street work and other public improvements they hope to do this\" year. While no official action was \" taken, it was apparent that all members of the Council are fully alive to the importance of the work demanded, and at the same time fully- acquainted with the obstacles in the way of development, and yet are prepared to find a way to overcome them. i Following the- reading of th\". .mis utes, the chairman of .the light committee, * Aid. Robinson, reported on the question . of \" additional' street lights on Vernon p road, and nearthe house 'of-'Mr.\" T: Robinson:; * - - -y J ��������������������������� -Abetter'was'read\" from Mr. W.: J.

A letter from the Board of School Trustees again brought to the ntten: tion of the Council the balance cl $1300 on the public school coi'Struc- tion. account, and stating that these accounts are long past /due. . ' - A- brief discussion followed the reading of the letter.^ 'ft was pointed out that if this $11500 wore to be paid out of the currert revenue this year it would mean adding two mills to the tax rate, whereas, it the city Wre^ty^rSilfe^th^^ originally asked for by the Board for the purpose of paying these over due accounts and providing an; lo means for properly finishing the school grounds, the rate required, if tins sum were raised by way of a loan, the rate required would be about one-third of a mill. Thc work demanded, and that already done, is of a permanent improvement type, and it is a law of all good municipal business that any such work should not be paid for out of the current revenue, but by way of a loan. It was the opinion of all present that such should be the policy of the Council. It was pointed out by the Aldermen that there could be no question of cdoubt as to what plan the ratepayers would prefer. Two mills added to the already high tax rate for the purpose of paying off the $1300 would not look good to many if, on the other hand, $3000 could be raised to make a complete job of the school, on a tax levy of ���������������������������less than a third of a mill. The matter was laid over until the estimates are brought in, at the next regular meeting. A letter was read from the deputy Provincial secretary stating that Aid. Jno. N. Grant and George R. Sharpe had been appointed Police Commissioners for 1914, and Alderman Dill and John B. Gaylord license commissioners. The Mayor is chairman of each of these,boards.

MARCH 12. 1914 The only logical way out. of It seems to be for the outside district to effect its own organization, and join hands with the other organizations in the Valley in assisting the Government in better serving the district. Enderby association can be of much more service to the district by retaining its working organization than it could possibly be if it were to sink its working organization in an association not yet tried out. B. C. APPLES IN AUSTRALIA AN IMPORTANT STEP The meeting of the' Enderby Con servative Association -last .Saturday evening was interesting from many view points, but more particularly as showing the awakening of the outside distrirt to its need of organization. Organization seems to be thc order of the day. It , comes up in all phases ' of life, and why not in politics ? But there is one phase of the proposition coming from the committee representing the outlying districts which shows a weakness, and we believe' should be pointed out. A closer organization ol the outlying district is unquestionably, a good thing and a commendable move. But such an organization to be a success, must be based upon practical lines. Distrirt organizations are always made up of smaller organizations working hand in hand to accomplish _a-SCt_purposc._ . _Hence_we have the Okanagan United Growers, with its duly organized independent unions in each of the Valley towns; the independent Conservative assoc ations is each of the wards in Vancouver and Victoria, and so on all along the line ���������������������������instances too numerous to mention. If the district outside of Enderby .and ..Us immediately contiguous territory\" feKs justified \"in organizing ~an association, the movement should havc,%and no doubt will have, the support of Enderby district Conservatives to a man; but to ask the Enderby association to sink its usefulness and its identity in an organization not yet tried out, is asking more than the Conservatives of Enderby are prepared to do. We believe every organization, political or otherwise, should give an accounting of its stewardship whenever called upon, to its members. And it is the common belief, also, that every organization should give a reasonable cause for its existence, and some accounting of work well done before it can hope to \"ride to glory\" on the backs of the men who have footed the bills and established a working organization of fifteen years' standing. There should be an organization of the district between Sicamous and Enderby. The Enderby organization, so far as we are able to find out, always has been prepared to meet all requirements in this direction. ��������������������������� What has been lacking to make this possible in the past is membership. An organization can not carry on business in a locality from which there are no members. - Nearly, half a million . boxes,. equal to something like 26,500,000 pounds, of British ���������������������������Columbia apples were marketed, last season, according to figures compiled by Mr. R. G. L. Clark, chief inspector in B. C. ior the Fruit ���������������������������'inspection department, and his assistant, Inspector A. H. Flack, says the Vancouver Province. The greater proportion ol the fruit was grown in the Okanagan, with' the Kamloops district next in point of production, and the Grand Forks section taking third- place. Here are the returns from each district: Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, 15,560 boxes; lower mainland 3000; Kamloops, 35,750; Okanagan, 371,000; Keremeos, 7000; Grand Forks, 33,000; Nelson, 10,000; Creston, 13,- 500;- Arrow Lakes, 1500; total, 499,310 boxes for entire Province. As indicating the extent of the fruit growing industry, Mr. Clark states that about 50,000 cases of ^pcaches,=-=85,000���������������������������=crates-of-=-plumrs^and= prunes; 12,000 crates of cherries; 8500 cases of apricots, 8000 crates of pears were shipped out from the various districts last year.

WALT MASON'S PREACHER Last eve I sought the church and hea'id a gifted pastor preach the Word. He talked of men whose days were over two thousand years ago or more. He talked of kings whose bones were dust, whose sceptres were reduced to rust so long ago their stories seemed like fragments of a summer dream. He said no word of those who strive- in this old world intense, alive, who fight their battles every day, obscurely, in their feeble way. I'd just as soan be in the dark concerning Father Noah's ark; I care not for the tents of Baa., or Joseph's . corn, or Jonah's whale; I want to hear my pastor talk about the people on ttis block, whose lives are full of stings and smarts, whose problems often break their hearts. I'd rathec learn some, way to cheer some hopeless toiler struggling here, than learn how Pharaoh blew his dough about five thousand years ago. The dust of kings in ancient ground is worth a half a cent a pound;1 and Ashur's widows' tears were dried before old Julius Caesar\" died; the things of which my pastor talks are dead as Adam's brindled ox, but all around us there are cries and wringing hands and weeping eyes. He'll have to get his text on straight, and bring his gospel up-to-date. BANK of MONTREAL Established 1817 Capital, $16,000,000 (paidup) Rett, $18,009,0W :,..,..'-���������������������������-' H. V.

Price Ellison Gives Glear-Ciit Resume of Provincial J5ji$iiess In hiq huriffet STlPPCh in thp f <>evel?Pment \"&?'.'tfeep/fhe deliberate 111 ms DUQget SpeeCIl HI ine policy��������������������������� o������������������ the,Government,and it was Provincial Legislature ten days ago, the Minister of Finance and Agriculture, gave, a comprehensive statement of the business and development of the Province the past year, and' his statement should command the interest of everyone desiring to' know the amount'of progress made. In his opening remarks Mr. Ellison said: Mr. Speaker:��������������������������� , In rising on the fourth occasion on which I have had the,honor to deliver the annual- Budget Speech, I wish \"before entering into details of the financial, statement; to .dwell briefly uponf the financial situation in a, general way. As you are*aware, since twelve , months' ago there has been a considerable change in the actual condition of , affairs, and it has been an unexpected change. At that time speculation ,was active, the volume of business was very large, the circulation of money free, credits were/high and the inflow of revenue to the provincial treasury rapid. A few months later matters assumed a somewhat altered aspect��������������������������� not from -any local cause���������������������������but from causes which may be regarded as general. The entire J world almost h'ad been affected by a financial stringency. .As to just what the causes were there has been a variety of opinions 1 expressed. There is little doubt about it,, however, that the rumors of, impending war .between Great Britain and Germany at' first , affected .the money markets and rendered investors fearful, so that the promoters of various ..enterprises seeking, capital in ^ Great Birtain were met in that, attitude- of-\"mind. The ' inflow of British money was seriously checked. Then followed the Balkan difficulties which increased. the\" apprehension of~a\" geh- 'eral war.. .There was also the trouble in China. The demand for^ war loans at- a high rate of interests-absorbed a great'amount'- of-available capital. 'At the same time the'abnprmai expansion in business and industrial activities-, called for more money than - the money markets, especially with the * other extraordinary demands, could supply;, and- iriore, than.anything else, so, far- as we were concerned, the immense'requirements in the way,of railway construction, and municipal expenditure in,Canada led to he fear'in - financial circle's 'that tlie country was. borrowing. beyond- its means ^to pay. 'There' was, as a consequence, a sudden and unexpected shortage,of money for all purposes! in the Old Couritry.it was evidently decided to call a halt in order that financial- affairs might have an opportunity' to adjust themselves, and that the borrowing public might be impressed with the necessity of economy being exercised and,, of making less hurry in large' undertakings with the view of credit b2'ns maintained. - - ��������������������������� : Tbe Financial Situation. A careful analysis of the entire situation, however, shows that /while financiers were temporarily alarmed' and acted with the expected' .caution,' at��������������������������� no time . were 'there .elements of danger. Although.! speculative acr tivities were checked, the volume of ^industrial���������������������������and~eornmcrcial^-business. was. not materially diminished. In fact,' for the whole of Canada it greatly increased over the' previous year. The general opinion of the. financial world now is that, while thc temporary shortage of money pinched in many places, the country .will be better off in the long run, because in the excess of good times we have -been experiencing the tendency to strike too fast a pace. Thc financial strinaency has now happily passed over and confidence-in investments is restored. From every source comes the cheerful Information that money is much,easier. The Bank of England rate of Interest has been reduced, which is. the, surest indication of an Improved financial condition, and large-flotations are being successfully negotiated and arc being over-subscribed. We have had, for instance, $7,500,000 of the bonds of. the Pacific Great Eastern, guaranteed :by the ��������������������������� p-rovincc, over-subscribed and sold at a.:premlum, a fact attesting bo.thyto the plentiful supply of money and the excellent credit 6\"f the province.. An issue of the debentures of the municipality, of North Vancouver was also successfully disposed ,bf. The financial stringency has. of course, had some effect upon the revenues,'of the province, but these liave been well maintained.. The appropriations for 19M-1915,\" as will be seen, have been considerably- reduced this yedr. There are, however, large undertakings such as the provincial university .Strathcona Park, certain public buildings arid trunk roads that must be completed, arid for all these purposes it will be necessary to borrow .money.. We cannot go'back; we. must go forward to keep'pace with the great developments following upon the construction of .railways, and the important' increase of population. '\"���������������������������'������������������������������������������������������ The Government has been severely criticized on account of the fact that It-has. practically exhausted its surplus, and surprise lias ;Ueon expressed ' nn that account. The fact is that the well known at least; to every public- man in the province. During the'last two fiscal years���������������������������1912-13 and 1913-1-1��������������������������� the estimated deficits amounted tc over ?13,000,000. That fact must have been familiar to every one who takes the slightest interest in public Affairs, and It was not one which the Government endeavored in\" any sense to conceal. It, therefore, is not something which should have occasioned any surprise. It is a tribute to the financial policy of the present Government that it has been enabled to create revenue's and surpluses which, perrnit- ted the Legislature to expend such large sums on works of development, which placed the province at least ten years ahead > . THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS OP 1012-1 a. \"/Coming now to the public .accounts off,i912'-13,,we find,that whilejthe-e'sti-; mated 'revenue''\" 'was'\" ������������������10,387,000,\" tlie actual'revenue was $12,510,2i5, orVover $2,000,000 more than was estimated.' On the other \"hand the estimated .'expenditure of $17,011,000-was reduced'to' an actual- expenditure of $15,444,822; leaving an actual deficit of about $3,- 000,000 instead of tan estimated-deficit) of nearly $7,000,000. The .lapsed balance of $2,070,379 win, be..found in'detail in the public accounts for the year. Estimated Receipts! From' the\" estimated receipts for 1914-15 ^submitted it will be seen that tlie -revenue is slightly lesi than the' estimates for the present year and these, have been conseryativly framed and with a view to present, conditions.! I shall deal briefly with *-he principal changes made. Land sales have been reduced $500,000 and land ' revenue $100,000. Timber licenses have been increased $25,000 and timber leases reduced $20,000. -The item of timber sales, $110,000 is now 'and is created under the provision of the Forestry Act'of the session, permitting the sale f timber in small lots. The revenue from real property tax has. been increased by $4 5,000, from wild land $100,000, and from personal property anrd~income_$557000r\"Ke\"ceiTTts_frdm5=coal\" and coke tax have been reduced by $50,000, a reduction based on receipts during tho present year. A most important advance of $90,000 has been made in game licenses, showing how important an asset game, properly conserved, is. Veos from joint stock companies have been reduced by $32,- 000, while fees under the motor regulation Act have boon Increased by $40,- 000. The fees of $27,000-from moving pictures are also a new \"source of revenue. Interest (miscellaneous) has been reduced by $150,000 consequent upon the withdrawal of money from the banks. RMtinintcH of K.\\'i������������������riu1itiirp. The chief feature of the Budget Is the very large reduction In the cstl- m'atcs of expenditure, amounting to considerably over $5,000,000. , The total estimate is $13,700,000 as against $19,- 000,000 for the present fiscal year. Civil service salaries are $327,000 in excess of last year. Nearly .$250,000 of this is accounted for in new officials in the forestry department, land registry and police, which have been rendered necessary by growing require- rnent3. Some statutory officials are now included in the estimates; provision ,also being made for. tho municipal department. About $75,000 of the vote is for statutory increase of salaries. In education, (salaries provision has been made for the occupation of the new normal school In Victoria,, which will be opened on the first of August. A- detective branch has been added to the police force. Provision in salaries has been made for the industrial school just started in the vicinity of Vancouver; also for the removal of the government agency at Barkervlfle to Quesnel. Hospitals and charities' have been reduced $120,000, in accordance with thc policy of general retrenchment. The administration of justice has increased $60,000. Thc expense in connection with this department is constantly growing in consequence of increasing population. The vote for education has been increased $300,000 owing to the increase in the per capital allowance, as the result; of the increase of population and increased grants to assisted schools. $96,800 of the appropriation is for technical education, a. new departure and one calculated to have beneficial results. Public works have been reduced from $9,6'00,000 to $5,300,- 000, being a reduction in all of $4,300,- 000 as compared .with the estimates of the present year. Many of the works and buildings fpr the province are nearly 'completed and it is riot now ncces'sary to make further large appropriations. There is a vote of $150,- 000 for government buildings at Prince B-upert, $500,000 for the provincial university, and $486,000 for -public school buildings. In roads, streets and bridges'- there has been a uniform reduction to $2,800,000, making a total reduction of $3,000,000. MlNCcllaneoiiN Expenditure. Under the head of miscellaneous/ the appropriation for a forestry branch has increased from $253,000 to. $331,000. This increase is not only necessary in the interests of efficiency, but it is justified by results obtained from the forestry service. 'Appropriations under the head of \"lands branch\" were decreased from $270,000 to $146,000, and of the Surveyor General's department from $773,000 to $608,000. It will be seen that the \"water rights branch has increased from $125,000 ' to $192,000. This increase was rendered necessary by the getting'of the records in shape and the making of surveys in connection with the water sheds. Under the head of deaprtment of railways is -included $340,000 for the improvement of -the Songhees Reserve, also a re- vote of $50,00*0 to the Canadian Pacific Railway for the reconstruction of the Kaslo-Slocan, an equal amount having already been paid. A vote of $400,000 in aid of the second Narrows Bridge, Burrard Inlet, has been renewed. Puhllc ������������������ei������������������t. The net debt of the province, exclusive of the $1,500,000 of treasury bills, due 28th of May prox.- is $8,500,- 000. When the proposed loan of $10,- 000,000 is floated it will be $18,500,000. Against this we, have arrears of land' sales of $13,000,000 bearing sjx per cent, .interest as against the three per cent.'-interest on the old, indebtedness and the four-and one-half per cent, on the; proposed .new issue of \"$10,000,000r, so that.in reality.-our debt ���������������������������\\yill>,be--very smal7after the new-liability\" is incurred.\" When-we, consider\" the'-'vast- as\"-, ���������������������������sets we have-in land, in townsites,, in timber, coal and ��������������������������� other minerals, and fish, he must be very'pessimistic iri-* deed and of little faith-who'will contend -that .this province cannot bear, with^a large margin, of safety many, times the debt already incurred.

I,shall now proceed to review the industrial and other conditions of the province for. the year 1913, and I am glad to say that, notwithstanding the temporary -jnoney stringency, the'' record,'as shown, by.-figures, has been a very satisfactory one.

C. Show Much Improvement in 1913 per cent, capacity was employed. It will be seen, therefore, that for the pressed by the fact that the- gross revenue from- timber was ?3,000,000, present the milling capacity is much in'while the netTC.ost(of the Forestry De- As Minister of Agriculture, Hon. Price Ellison, in handing down the Provincial Estimates just before prorogation last week, gave a splendid summing up of agricultural conditions in the Province. He said: So much has been said of late in the press and upon thc public platform about agricultural production in this province that I. wish on this occasion, as ���������������������������'��������������������������� Minister ������������������������������������������������������ of ��������������������������� 'Agriculture, to deal especially and at some length with \"the subject. It has been stated repeatedly that there has been a decline in agricultural production and that that has been due to the land . policy of the Government. I am in a position to .show absolutely that, such statements are wholly without foundation. 1 have already dealt with the land policy and its relation to production, and I shall here confine myself to the question of production itself. Last year,although every care possible was exercised, the amount of imports was ''underestimated by several milliotis. This was due to the difficulty of obtaining exact statistics of imports from Eastern Canada, of which there is no official record. Our estimate of production was, however, 'approximately correct. This year. in order to get exact information and a basis of comparison for future years, I sent out a staff of competent men who visited every producing district, obtaining the returns direct and in person, and who also interviewed all the leading importers. T am therefore, now in a position to say definitely and authoritatively that the figures given today are correct, both as to production and importation. Thc figures for 1912 were also revised as closely as possible. T do not propose to give you all the details, because 'the statement will be published in full;'but the total production, under the six different heads shown, for 1013. was ������������������23,074,529, or practically $2.1,000,000, an increase of over $1,700,000 as compared with 1012. To show in a word that the statements fof our critics referred to are absurdly incorrect, J find that the agricultural and animal products of British Columbia, as shown in the census returns of 1001, amounted to $6,000,000, so that we now produce nearly four times as much as we did twelve years ago. H is true that our. figures show that w.n import about $20,000,000 worth of agricultural produce, or a considerable increase from year to year, and that is taken as an evidence that we-must be producing less���������������������������a most foolish conclusion���������������������������but .we must bear in mind that the population has increased by 350.000, or,in other words trebled, since 1901. H is true that dairy products, ���������������������������and hay and grain show a decrease, but every other item of production shows a substantial increase. Live stock, poultry and eggs, fruits and vegetables, and meats arc rapidly increasing. Mr. Thomas Cunningham's report of inspection of nursery stock shows that he inspected over 5,000 cases of bulbs, about MS,000 fruit trees, 1.C0O nut and fig trees, neariy 900,000 seedlings and grafts, over 300,000 small fruit bushes and about 422,000 of miscellaneous. These figures from year to year prove that there must' be a very great increase of orchard area all the time. As a matter of fact, as 1 travel around among the farmers I find, especially in the outlying districts, that the development is very great. -���������������������������\"Sear_.U.i.e_.to\\yjis_thc speculation in real (.-state has deterred pfSfltfc t itsiiT-^rrftf hind either having been divided up. into lots or become too high to be profitable for farming. I. find also, Mr. Speaker, a greatly aroused interest in fanning generally. Not only are tho farmers themselves taking a new and keen interest in their problems, but thc people as a whole are turning their attention to thc land as a solution of the high price of living. There is a strong .spirit in' favor of co-operation in thn_ farm tig community and for the first time in this province there are good grounds for tlie hope that the farmers products of the farm. In fact a better state of affairs prevails generally, owing to the cessation of speculation in farming lands which though an evidence of prosperity, nevertheless hindered rather than promoted agricultural development. Lands will now find their normal level and there will be more settled and more real farming in the accessible districts. Thc federal grant given under the Dominion Agricultural Instruction Act to this province was $17,335 and is being spent upon lines as agreed upon between the two governments, largely in educational and demonstrational work. The work performed by the Department of Agriculture during the year was exceptionally heavy. The appropriation in aid of agriculture amounted to $321,OSS, providing for a large staff of expert instructors in thc field, the 'preparation of bulletins and regular courses of instruction. Fifteen new farmers' institutes were incorporated during the year, there being now a membership of 8,072. There are now also 35 women's institutes with a membership of over 2,000. Demonstration work in all branches of agri- culture-^live stock, dairying, poultry raising, horticulture, fruit-packing, cow testing, dairying farm competitions, stock .-judging contests, etc., etc. ���������������������������-was strongly featured. Careful and thorough work has been done in the inspection of fruit and nursery stock, and dairy herds and premises, and most beneficial results are following everywhere. '\"Exhibition and publicity work was carried on more actively last year than ever before. Large and splendid exhibits were sent to various fairs in the Middle West, the Toronto Exhibition, the Chicago Land Show, and in Great Britain; the exhibits everywhere receiving as usual the highest awards, and the province for the eighth time was awarded the gold medal at the Royal Horticultural Society Show in London, England. Exhibition work during the past year in Great Britain probably attracted more attention than any previous effort. As usual, a very large amount of matter was distributed through the Agricultural Department, tlie Bureau of Provincial Information and the office of the General Agent in London. 1 may say that 'the Department of Agriculture has rapidly increased its sphere of usefulness and the entire staff of officials are doing their work in an active and conscientious way. There are many difficulties to be met with in connection with agriculture in a province such as British Columbia is, arisng out of the physical nature of the country, its expensive land clearing and the long distances to be traversed to market. For: the purpose of solving in a practical way some of these difficulties and bettering the conditions, generally, of the farming community, the Government appointed a commission composed of men���������������������������all practical farmers���������������������������whose report has been submitted to you. It is hoped that by adopting as many of the .recommendations of this commission as the Government can see its way to do, the usefulness of the Agricultural Department may be further greatly increased thereby. MJ.MMSK. Reference is here made to the condition of the lumber industry during 1013. From the official scaling returns it appears that there was a cut of 1.457.041,930 feet, and in excess of all excess of the demand. Owing to the great depreciation which occurs in idle plants, a number of mills are now run without profit rather than close down, so that it will be several years yet before business is likely to become normal. American competition is another factor of the situation. Mills in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana are also greatly overstocked and are dumping in Western Canada. Importations from these sources for the past three years were as follows: 1911 . ' 26-1,413,000 feet 1912 300,000,000 feet 1913 133,145,000 feet Millmen state that the taking off of the duty on rough lumber in the United States will not for some years, except in the higher grades, make much difference in the sale of lumber, from this province..; Generally speaking, as to the immediate future thc prospects are- uncertain. While the industry is an exceedingly large and important one, representing the largest single investment of capital among the industries and employing the largest number of persons, the producing capacity is out of proportion to the market at present. I am speaking now of temporary conditions only. Ultimately, when conditions of supply and demand.have adjusted themselves, there can, be no doubt but that the industry will be very profitable. The exhaustion of the supply in the United States, which is being'cut at: the rate of 40,000,000,000 feet per annum, and the opening of the Panama Canal must greatly extend the market in time, while in our own Middle West, with its present population of over one million and a third changed to nine or ten millions, there will be a ���������������������������market'equal, to our entireoutput. The value of the timber products, of 1913 was about $32,500,000. The foreign export trade has been steady but not extensive.- The total was, about 51,500,000 feet, or less than one-tenth of the export from the Pacific Coast states. In addition. British Columbia exported 53,000,000 feet of logs to tho State of Washington, cut from private lands. The Pulp ���������������������������.Trade. It is satisfactory to note that the pulp and paper trade is prosperous and promises great things for the future.' Large quantities of pulp are being shipped to the Orient and to the Pacific Coast states. News-print supplies the market locally, and-is shipped to Alberta\"*and the Pacific Coast states. The value of pulp and paper manufactured by thc Powell River and Howe Sound mills amounted last year to over $3,000,000. The Powell River mills manufacture 225 tons of news-print .and the Howe Sound mills 40 tons of sulphite pulp daily. Consernvtiiin of Timber. Tt is satisfactory also to note that tho efforts being put forward by the Forestry Department are giving such excellent results, not only in revenue, but in thc conservation of the timber. The value of the service is best ex- partment :;to- the , province was only $341,000, or in a ratio of one to nine as between expense and revenue. The system of patrol has been augmented by what will be a complete system of communication by telephone and telegraph to give intelligence of fires. By a system of adequate protection and careful conservation of the timber areas it is hoped to maintain the timber supply permanotly undiminished. Vhe chief .forester states that there are in British Columbia 6,500,000 feet board measure produced each year or five times tlie annual cut, and that everywhere burned over and logged off lands are being rapidly reforested.

N.B.���������������������������Unauthorized publication of this advertisement will not be paid The annual meeting of the Enderby Conservative Association was held ih K. of P. Hall last Saturday evening. The attendance was large, all but five members ofHhe Association being present, and in addition, a 'large number of visitors, from Mara-and outlying district. It was ap- Parent from the meeting that the outlying district is awaking to the need of better organization. This was accentuated as the meeting progressed. The feeling of the outlying district, so far as could be gathered from the speakers pressing the claims of the unorganized territory, was that the Enderby Association should lose its identity as an association in a larger district organization taking ,in Mara, Deep Creek, and all.unorganised territory between , Enderby and Sicamous. \"' This proposition did not meet with favor on the part of the members of the Enderby < sso- ciation, as it was argued, Enderby being a duly incorporated, city, it should retain its organization, while, at the same time, working In conjunction with the outside district organization. The position taken by the members was better expressed by the\" report of the executive which .was as follows: Your executive submits the following: Your executive was approached by\" Mr. C. S. Handcock, on behalf of certain Conservatives of the district, stating that a committee desired to meet us. A meeting was accordingly arranged, and the committee laid before the executive their desires, which were: That a' district Conservative association be, organized,' to consist of Enderby and Mara associations, ond.embracing all that territory from Enderby north \"Jto -Sicamous. The details of such;, an- organization had not been, worked .out,, and-the committee desired your executive\" to place the matter before this associa- tion and--suggesting that an.; adjourned J meeting. ,of, .this-association \\' jH6rticurtiirarr ,; m for 1914 The \"Enderby Horticultural Society was recently permitted to broaden its charter, and it-is now-fully'equipped to comply with the-Department regulations which will permit it to receive irom the department financial assistance similar to\" that granted: other\" agricultural * societies\" to augment the prizes offered in-the annual exhibition. ��������������������������� This is the first season that Enderby has been in a position to take advantage of these department 'allowances^ and the executive committee are\" working': hard' to rnaie the most, of \"the opportunity*. - It is- proposed to hold''the annual exhibition on or about Sept. 12th. The scope \"oi this exhibition' will be e-xtjlJ-^d-Jar bey on dthe limitsyofthg- be held on Saturday afte-noon, Mar. 19th, to go into the matter with the committee if such a course were deemed advisable. In this connection, your executive recommends: that the Enderby Conservative Association commends the movement for a closer organization of the unorganized district; and will do its utmost to assist such an organization, not only in working out its own | organization, but also in urging before the Government any recommendations coming from the outside district organization; but that the Enderby Association should retain its identity as an organization representing Poderby district. If the outside district is organized, we would recommend that said district association be given representation on the Enderby executive and that representation be given the Enderby association on the outside district association executive. , In the absence of President Ruttan, the executive * report was signed by Mr. Hassard, vice-president. Growing out of the discussion following the report of the executive, it was moved' by Mr. Rosoman, seconded by Mr. Barnes: \"That this Association has heard with much satisfaction of the proposed formation of a new organization to care for the interests of the party \"and the development of the northern end of the Okanagan Valley; and,, while.'retaining its own identity and continuing to represent the party in the City of Enderby and immediately. contiguous territory, will do all in its power, to assist and co-operate with the said new organization.\" An anjournment of the meeting was taken before taking' a vote on the resolution, the adjourned meeting to be called at a date when President Ruttan and- the balance\" of .the executive are at/le to be'in'attendance,\"the date to be set .for 2 p. m. to permit a full attendance fromyall- sections.'7 '..efc ������������������ Fl T&k*- fj, ������������������������������������������������������* '\"ilium There 13 just one question to ask after you've heard an Edison Phonograph \"How soon can I get one?\" <> The wonderful new hornless instruments have,talked and sung and played themselves into amazing popularity. ^ The \"silent, smooth- running motor, the diamond reproducing point that does away with bothersome changing of needles, the beauty of design and the sweet- toned, unbreakable Blue Amberol Records require no argument Listen and see (or yourself.

The prize list for this exhibition,has not been prepared yet, but it is understood that it will be along the lines of other other Valley shows,- though somewhat restricted to keep within safe limits. Beginning- in May, it is\" proposed to hold monthly window exhibitions of saich fruits, flowers and vegetables as,mature at that time, the purpose being to encourage our growers to produce the stuff when it can be put on the'market at its highest price, and before the market is glutted by produce from all directions. For instance, in May and June, prizes will be offered for the fruits and vegetables that can be put on the market locally grown, but are not, generally, until the following month. These window displays are to be made in the store windows���������������������������where the privilege is granted���������������������������the intention being to interest the public as well as the Society members. In addition to these monthly window displays and the 'annual show, it is proposed to offer three prizes ���������������������������$25, $15 and $10���������������������������for the best kept garden and. premises, entries to be made at the commencement of the season and the judging to extend up to the time of the September show when the prizes will be awarded.

GET ONE, One of the brilliant young writers of Canada who has won recognition by his splendid work which foreshadows still greater performance, is Norman Duncan, of whom the \"London Spectator\" which is usually chary of praise, said: \"It is a pleasure to know that there is a writer in the world from whom we may hope for greater things.\" - 't- Ho was born in the City of Brantford, in 1871, and spent eight years at Mitchell, Ont., and from there entered the University of Toronto. He took almost the full course, but left before attaining a degree, as the scientific course did not prove congenial, and the further he progressed'the more distasteful it became. His first work at journalism was at Auburn, N.Y., in 1S95 and two years later he joined they staff of the New York Evening Post.\" 71n' this' literary :atmos- Chas. W.

When thev appeared in book form as \"The Soul of the Street, they won instant favor with the discerning ones who appreciate individuality in literature. Then he turned his attention to the fishermen of Newfoundland and spent a summer on the \"French Shore,\" the northern section of thc eastern coast of Britain's oldest colony. In this quaint, primitive locality where the spinning wheel still turns blithely, where no desecrating railroads invade the solitude of nature or the seclusion of man, and where brave men fight fierce battles with ocean storm for a livelihood, he lived in close companionship with the people and in \"The Way of the Sea,\" published his Newfoundland stories after they had delighted thousands of magazine readers. Then came \"Dr. Luke of the Labrador,\" another book in which thc reader fees the sharp, crisp, cool ocean spray in his face as he lives with the people whom Mr. Duncan has created, and feels with them the little joys and sorrows that make up their daily lives. In all his stories���������������������������vital and pulsing with human energy ���������������������������thc work always seems like that of one who thinks in poetry and writes in prose, ���������������������������the work of one, who, knowing life and its struggles at,close range, never permits his experience to dull the edge of his optimism or of his faith in humanity. Mr. Duncan is now professor of rhetoric in Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Pcnn. ���������������������������\"���������������������������������������������������������������������������������>������������������������������������������������������ CoUicd iccordlog to Act of th* Pullimint of Canada, In tho ye������������������r 1905. by AV.

Price Ellison said: The mining industry on tlie- whole during 1913 was most satisfactory, and had it not been for the unfortunate strikes on Vancouver Island, there would have been a production about equal to 1912, the largest on record. On Vancouver Island tlie production of coal was 600,000 tons less than the previous year, making a reduction in value of over two million dollars. The copper production was less in +o-fo+<>������������������H>4rO-f<>4<>^ line of the Canadian Pacific Railway in this province, built at a time when labor and material were cheap, cost on an average ������������������55,000 a mile. The Grand Trunk Pacific.is costing $30,000 a mile. The three provinces, of the Middle West, in which raiUvay construction costs one-third of what it does in British Columbia, did not hesitate to pledge ther credit to the extent of over$103,- 000,000, and to reach that rich prairie country-the-late���������������������������Liberal- Government at Ottawa were willing to incur a cash expenditure of $23-1,000,000 in the construction of the National Transcontinental Railway, which has or will cost .$129,000 a mile. With our immense national resources, if the province, the people of which almost unanimously on two occasions declared for the McBride pol'cy, felt safe in a guarantee of interest on $35,000 a mile, it Is safe at $15,000 a mile, or our hopes of our future a,re vain and always have been vain. If the National Transcontinental cost $129,000 a mile for 1,805 miles, in a comparatively flat country, is it unreasonable that there should be a guarantee of $45,000 a mile for a railway through an exceedingly mountainous and difficult country in order to obtain a higher and better standard of line? Owing to changed conditions of labor and cost of amterial the Grand Trunk. Pacific has found out that original estimates clear from Winnipeg to the coast were far too low. Similar conditions justify the proposal so far as the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway is concerned. CONCLUSION*. AUCTION SALE! KELOWNA, B. C.
