Aflcr lhe adoption of the minutes the question of grant lo the Enderby Cottage Hospital was laken from the table. Aldermen Faulkner and Pell expressed themselves as opposed to the granl on lhe ground thai the question had already been submitted to a vole of the ratepayers and had failed lo carry.

II is with more than ordinary appreciation that we reproduce lhe following from The Victorian: \"The Enderbv Press, published by Mr. Walker, 'has jusl entered ils ninth year.

THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1916 IT IS UP TO MR. BOWSER Many explanations have been made lo account lor tbe recent Government reverses al lhc by- elections at Vancouver and Victoria, bul lew do credit lo\" thc men whose names arc attached to lhc explanations. To say, as some of them arc credited with saying, that lhe electors switched from Conservativisni to Liberalism, simply to pul two strong men on lhc opposition benches, seems lo us lo be* tbe silliest kind of clap-trap. Tbe vole at Vancouver and at Victoria shows conclusively, we believe, lhat bolh the Prohibitionists and lhe liquor men are after tbe scalp of Premier Bowser, and, in addition lo these, thc pap mongers who have been put out of work by the general retrenchment policy of thc Government the past year or more. These voters arc striking at Premier Bowser over thc shoulders of Mr. Tisdall and Mr. Flumcrfclt. They do nol wan I to give him a chance lo make good. There has not been a man in political life in the Province in the pasl decade or more who has been so bitterly criticised and condemned. Mr. -Bow^ei-4ia,s4iad4o=bGaiUli(_J)lam lime at any department. As attorney general he has won especial condemnation. Not because of anv lack of ability. Wc have never heard even There has been reported a serious shortage In cars to handle the shipping in Canada this winter. From all sections come stories of freight tied up wailing cars. Perhaps, if the truth were known it is nol a shortage in freight cars so much as lack of boats to handle the immense cargoes already at the seaports awaiting shipment, and the railway companies do nol wish to further blockade shipments from the seaports by hauling more freight there from safe points in the interior. A similar conditions of affairs has existed in lhe Eastern States for lhc past two or more months. In the Chicago Tribune wc learn \"only one of the through railroads between New York and Chicago has its tracks clear. There are 100,000 cars, loaded to thc roofs, backed up on thc storage tracks between the two cities. Goods that left Chicago in December have not yet gotlcn within 300 miles of the Atlantic coast. The storage yards, breakup yards, and emergency tracks scattered all along the right-of-way for a distance of 900 miles arc chocked with loaded cars destined for lhc cast. The docks, piers, private warehouses, public storehouses, and finally lhc bare, open grounds.are piled high with unloaded goods. The freight lying on the ground alone will total millions of dollars. With the increase in usual spring domestic business coming on the car shortage situation will become more acute. Thc congestion is said to bc costing thc American manufacturers greal losses. In some instances the freight includes consignments of machinery that will not arrive a I their destination in time for European harvests.\" SATURDAY AFTERNOON HOLIDAY Mr. Charles D. Wilson, a visitor from the Antipodes, writes in thc Vancouver Province: \"We in the Antipodes have for some ycars carried into effect jusl such legislation as is now before your legislature. I refer to the Agricultural Credits Bill,, referendum on thc prohibition question, and tbe weekly hall-holiday for stores. The assistance given by the Government of New Zealand by way of loans at low rates of interest to settlers on the land has been thc means of bringing into cultivation a million of acres during the past twenty ycars. Legislation making il compulsory for all stores to close a I 1 p.m. on one day in thc week and observe that half-day as a public holiday has bccii in operation for a number of years. Throughout thc whole Commonwealth of Australia the Saturday hall-holiday has become universal wherc for ycars Wednesday was the day observed, the late shopping night reverted from Saturday tp Friday. Your Premier is to bc commended for his promise to place such legislation on the statute books, for 1 feel sure employers and employes alike when once this act becomes law will thank him for having enabled them to enjoy a respite on one half day in the week from toil lo recreation and pleasure. Doubtless a few small stores Will raise objections, but this is only lo bc expcctccLwhcrc they have been,accustomed for so long to the old order of things.\" THE APPLE TAX The new tariff imposts on apples and oils arc fair. Thc apple tax is something to be rejoiced in. 11 should give thc British Columbia apple growers a chance to show what they can really do. Maybe it will encourage more apple growing\" and less tennis.

ALMOST FINISHED One of lhe first draft was knocked out in tbe Irenches and packed off lo the hospital, still unconscious.

Government. W one of the strongest and safest premiers this Province has ever had. We can never think of him as a popular idol, in the eyes of his own party or of the opposition. He is too strong a man and too fearless ever to become a popular idol, even in war times. Mr. Bowser has, up until now, had very little opportunity lo show his calibre as Premier. The meeting of thc Legislature will open up avenues by which he will bc able to start in motion the several reforms he is reported lo be in favor of. He should be given a chance. He has a serious task to handle, and, as leader of the Government, should be given tlie loyal support of every property owner in the Province who desires lo see a business administration.

In; the first place, if his Butter wrappers are neatly printed with his name and the brand of the butter on the label, thc storekeepers can readily sell the butter at 5c a pound more than he can get for butter wrapped in paper that is not printed, and the butter-maker gets the advantage in 5c a pound more for his butter from the merchant. It is the duty of every butter maker to comply with the law in this matter. Some butter makers have only a cow or two, and make so little butter that it does not appear to them that they can afford to have their butter wraps printed. They do not like the idea of having 500 or 1000 butter wraps on hand. To accommodate this class of butter makers, The Press has printed up a quantity of \"Custom\" Butter Wraps. They are printed with the words \"Fresh Dairy Butter\" but do not bear the name of the maker. However, these wrappers fill the requirements of the law governing tliis^iointvaWd^can'be^bought-iirsmalH quantities at the rate of 50c a hundred in 100 or 50 lots.
