A few of the twelve im-titutes in the district were not represented by delegates, and substitutes were chosen from the local institute. C. 0. Heaven, of Grand. Forks', was apppoioted chairman, and Mr. Whiting.of Rock Creek, secretary. On motion of Messrs. Whiting and Endersby, 0. C. Heaven of this city was appointed as member of the advisory board. The following resolutions were offered by. the various institutes of the district. They were all adopted except where otherwise noted: ' From Grand Forks���������That this conference strongly urge upon the food controller the great need of the establishment in this province of one or more potato flour mills for tne'productioYi'of potato llour.which could be used extensively as a suu- stitute for cereal flour, thereby releasing a considerable quantity of cereals for our allies, and also establishing a staple market for the surplus potatoes produced in this prov ince. From Nakusp���������That the government be uiged to offer a cash bonus to bona iide settlers for every acre of bush land cleared and brought under cultivation. From Arrow Park���������That the government be asked to refuse to grant the herd law in certain districts, such as their own, where it is detrimental to a great many. This resolution was endorsed, tentatively, but Mr. Heaven was instructed to write to their institute for further inforaja- lon. From Fire Valley���������That the deputy minister be requested to have the noxious weed act enforced in this district. That in past years the weed inspectors have not done so, and in the opiuiou of this meeting tbey have shown partiality or are incompetent, as there are tracts of privately owned laud in this district, un- cleared and unoccupied, overrun with the Canadian thistle, etc., making it impossible for the neigh lion, which' was unanimously adopted: Whereas, The federal government have passed a military act conscripting all British subjects to serve in wha lever capacity they see fit; And Whereas, The ; Doukhobors made a compact with the former ! government releasing them from all combatant service, and owing to the above condition all our young- able- bodied men have.been taken away from our farms and necessary indus fries for the successful carrying; on of the war, and the Doukhobors and ather aliens are taking advantage of the scarcit'o of labor and are retard-; ing the work of the country by holding out for exorbitant wages; therefore be it % - ���������' ^ ���������'.--:'_��������� Resolved, That this mepting request the provincial government to urge upon the federal government the necessity of immediately conscripting all Doukhobors of military age and aliens to serve in such ca pacity as they deem fit, and to set wages for the different industries, the government to take all wages over-SI.10 a day and board, the same as our men at the front are receiving. In the evening a Cabaret entertainment was given in the opera house under the direction of E F.- Laves. The program, which was similar to that rendered at the entertainments given last week, was much enjoyed by the delegates and large audience of citizens present. Those who took part in the program gave an excellent performance. Yesterday morning the delegates were taken for an auto ride through the valley.

Thomson, chairman of the Canada food board, in a statement issued ttday, urged that as a patriotic duty the regulations of the food board relative to public eating places and those now governing the manufacture of biscuits, cakes, ice cream, etc., should be observed voluntarily by householders. It is necessary that this should be done, Mr. Thomson stated, if Canada were to do her utmost to send overseas those supplies which were so greatly needed. Mr. Thomson said that some mis understanding had occurred as to the confectionery products which it is now illegal to manufacture for sale. The list is as follows: Products known as fresh or puff pastry; doughnuts or crullers; biscuits or cakes known as Scotch bread or cakes;fancy almond macarooms or like products containing more than .50 per cent of cane sugar; marsh- Excerpts from a letter received by Nathan Taylor, of this city, from his son, Sergt.

Of the total enlistment of 355,510 the distribution is as follows: Native Canadians, 147,505;'English, 121,571; Scotch, 37,406; French- Canadians, 16,2S6; Irish, 12,557; Welsh,. 3,647; American, 10,000, other British, 6,448. The casualty list is as follows, the feature being the low percentage of deaths from disease, less than two-thirds of one per cent: Killed in action, 25,912; died of wounds, S,671; died of disease, 1,956; wounded, 106,1S5; prisoners, 2,736; presumed to have died, 3,93S; missing, 790. Controlling Potato Diseases From the Start Potatoes are plentiful this spring. Procure your seed from a field which produced a good, heavy crop the previous year. The smooth appearance of the \"seed alone is no guarantee of a heavy crop. Disinfect the potatoes before cutting the seed. Soak them for three hours in a barrel containing either of the following solutions: Corrosive sublimate: 2 oz. in 25 gallons of water. (Note: Fatal poison to man and beast.) Formalin: 1 pint in 25 gallons of water. In cutting for seed, throw out all potatoes showing rot or brown spots, or rings near the stem end and in the flesh. Cut the seed immediately before planting. The longer vou keep them out, the smaller the yield. Webster, A L'ota) .S570.25 The orator of the street corner told the audience of the blessedness of humanity, and while he was speaking two little dogs strayed into the middle of the crowd. \"Now,\" said the orator, \"here we have an object lesson thrust right into our hands.\" He turned to a grubby youth. \"My liitle man, if these two animals were to fight, what would you do?\" An impressive silence pet- tied upon the crowd while the unwashed youth studied the problem. \"Well, guv-nor,\" he said at last, \"I think I'd put a quarter on the black 'un.\" America No Longer Regarded as a Joke The German newspapers which last year ridiculed America's entry into the war now have begun gradually to inform the German public concerning the danger of present and future American intervention on the western front. For instance, the Zeitunn of Constance says: \"We must hurry to obtain a solid victory by arms before the full American forces arrive.\" The Vienna newspapers are taking the same line as those in Germany. The federal reserve board's annual board, issued at Washington last Friday, warned all against impending radical readjustment\" of all business as a result of America's growing patriotism, and says the war's progress, whether favoring the States or Germany, will create feverish conditions in the commercial world.

The subjects are necessarily similar to those seen last year in the great Canadian exhibition which was shown in Canada. The English pictures are done in colors, and this has the'effect of emphasizing the perspective and making thev scenes very artistic. The pictures that a! tract more than the usual amount of attention is the advance of the tanks into action. It is said that this is the most realistic presentation of war that has ever been accomplished in illustration. It is also the largest photograph ever produced. The pictures of troops entering Bagdad, the dramatic entry of General Allenby into Jerusalem are thrilling both on account of the historic significance and because of skillful arn'stic handling. An Egyptian labor battalion at work in France and several other glimpses of the East and West in partnership in this great struggle are both beautiful and compelling. Sure!

Contractor Gets Grading Started on Branch Railway There will be no engineering difficulties in connection with the b Hiding of the branch of the Kettle Valley railway from Princeton to C jpper mountain, says the Penlic- .toi Herald. The grade is naturally a heavy one, and there will be quite a \"number of trestles and big fills. The first contract calls for ths building of the line to the flotation mill site, a distance of about four miles as the crow Hies, but some five and a half miles by.the. c raiitous route necessary to get the proper grade. .The branch will start from about half a mile west of the railway, sta lion, crossing the Similkameen river and turning almost right angles,will graduhlly ascend to the fiist bench, reaching there at a point close to where the CoL-p rr mountain w;igon lo-ici comes up trom the flat or bench on which the Princeton colliery is situated. The proposed railway then makes another turn in the di . rection of the mill site. The first h-ilt of the road will go through a beautiful rolling country, covered with buncbgrass and practically free from timber. The steam shovel was started Monday, and grading outfits are being assigned to their station work concentrator will be erected under the direct supervision of Van H Smith, who has had a great deal of experience it: mill building and with the flotation process in Montana, Utah other western states. ��������� The railway construction and tbe building of the mill are having the effect of stimulating business in Princeton. Many strangers are coming in and locating. Tbe hotels and rooming houses arp filled, and dwellings for rent are very scarce. Princeton in consequence will take another jump ahead,-and some are sufficiently optimistic to predict that the place will double in population within the next two years. of mature while the warm continues, thus ensuring a thorough ripening and curing of the bulbs. To hasten the development of bu bs, especially in places where the season is short, young plants are set out instead of the seed being planted. Onion sets will ensure good bulbs also where the warm season is short. Root maggots often do much harm in the onion plantation. Watering the rows every four or five days with hellebore and water in the proportion of two ounces of hellebore and one gallon of water while the insects are most troublesome will control them to a considerable extent. * Except in the warmest parts of Canada melons require considerable care to ensure the ripening of many of them. The warm season is too short. To overcome this, melons should be started in hotbeds and kept under glass until there are warm nights in June or even July. Melons require heat below and heat above, hence the necessity of keeping the soil warm by having a good bed ol manure. They will not succeed in cold soil if the air above ground is warm. Melons require a plentiful supply of moisture in the soil to give the best results. Much watering, however, should be delayed until the ground is sufficiently warmed up so that heavy watering will not cool it too much; Brussels sprouts do not develop well in hot, dry-weather, and, unless the antumn is a long one without severe frost, they are not satisfac-. tory. It i3 important, therefore, to plant varieties that will be most likely to develop where the season is short, and the dwarf ones have been found the most satisfactory. Short-Stories along the route. A. McCulloch, of Peuticton, is the chief engineer in charge of the work, and Engineer is the local man on the job. P- J. Selvis is in direct charge of the construction work under \\Y\\ P. Tierney & Son, the contractors. Just at present there aie yome 200 men working, and this force will be increased as the work develops. There does not seem to be any great difficulty in procuring labor, and the class of men coming in are of better than tbe average type. The main object in rushing the first part of the work is to enable the Canada Copper corporation to nave, machinery lauded at the 30U0- ion daily capacity mill no^v in course of Miction. The sawmill installed near the mill site will be turning out lumber next week, but a large amount of the better quality \"of timber and lumber required will be shipped in from the coast, 'i'ne Cauliflower, although one of the most delicious vegetables, is one of the hardest to grow in many parts of Canoda.\" It damps off easily in the hotbed, is often badly affected by root maggot and frequently does not head well. In raising plants, transplant them from the seed row, pot or flat to a distance of about two inches apart each way as soon as possible after the seed germinates. This permits a freer circulation of air between the plants, and makes the danger of damping off much less. The root maggots are bad nearly every year in many places in Caua- da and often prevent practically all the plants from heading. Eggs are laid on the ground near the plant, which soon hatch into maggots which eat into the roots and thus cut off the supply of sap. To prevent injury from these, a tar felt disc should be placed around each plant close to the ground at the time of planting. It will be too late otherwise. If the first planting of cauliflower is a failure, a second planting should be made, as cauliflowers are much easier to grow in late than in earlier summer, as the maggots are not so troublesome at that time and there is usually an abundant supply of moisture. If the soil in which cauliflowers are grow ing is dry, they will not head well as they need lots of moisture and must be kept growing without a check from start to finish. The onion is another rather difficult vegitable to grow. It requires a long season of growth and very often the seed is sown too late, and if the summer is cool and wet the Major Frederick Palmer, the head of the military press bureau in Paris, was visited in his office in the Rue St p.. Aune the other day by an ex reporter of the old school The ex reporter said from his cloud of tobacco smoke: \"Palmer, I want to do my���������hie���������bit.
