School Estimates for Current Year Amount to $13,440 Board Recommends Adding Two Wings to^Present Building The regular meeting of the city council was held in the council chamber Monday evening, Mayor Hammar, Aid. Donaldson, Horner, McCallum, Mcintosh and Woodland being present, t A communication was read from Dr. Fagan, provincial health officer, inviting tbe council to send a delegate to the annual meeting of the British Columbia Anti-Tuberculosis Society, which is to meet iu Victoria ■ soon, and also asking the council to* request our member in the legislature to attend the convention. A letter was read from James J. Hill, in answer to the resolution recently adopted by tbe council urging the Great Northern to establish a divisional point in this city. Mr. Hill writes thai the company would be glad to do anything that would help Grand Forks, and he felt that tbe* efforts of the road in the Boundary had helped this district. All permanent provisions, however, could be much better settled when the line is completed to Vancouver. In fact, it would be difficult to make any permincnt adjustment. until that is the case. \\. protest against against the council moving the denizens of the red light district to the forks of the rivers' below Chinatown was received from Lew Johnson, M.

The finance committee recommended tbe payment of the usual number of acceunts, and that the city do not purchase the Waterston building, and also cease paying rent for same after the 31st day of March. The report was approved. The school trustees submitted the following estimates for the current year: Public school— Salaries ( 8,075 Equipment 490 Janitors 900 Fuel 600 Repairs , 250 School supplies 575 Incidentals 225 Books—150 for library 75 175 Truant officer..

At the rate the children were coming in at present, a ninth grade would have to be opened up in September, which would necessitate larger school quarters. He advocated issuing school debentures and adding two wings to the central building, and asked the council to authorize the trustees to call for plans, specification and estimates of costs. . i In answer to a question, Mr. Spier explained the duties of the truant officer. If the chief of police had time to act in that capacity, he was the proper person for the position. The work was not being doile' satisfactorily at present, as the streets were crowded with children who ought to be in school. In reference to the new building, Mr. Spier said it was to the oest interests of the community to have tbe schools centralized in Grand Forks, rather than have a number of small rural schools. At present tbe city had the best schools in the province. Whether the rural districts could be included in the issuance of school bonds, he was not sufficiently versed in law to tell. Tbe board bad written the government for information on this subject, and had been referred to Section 14 of the School Act, which was rather ambiguous. The mayor thought the government should assist the city to enlarge the school building. As the 5* mill assessment was not sufficient to educate the children, the city was entitled to a cash grant. Referring to the cost of having plans and specifications for the proposed buildings submitted, he said it would probably amount to about (500. On motion, the school estimates were referred to the finance com mittee. The board of works submitted their estimates for the current year. the total amount asked for was (4950. The chairman of the board of works reported that he had interviewed the property owners inter* isted in having Gold street opened up, and .that tbey were willing to bear part of tbe expressed. Action in tbe matter was deferred until the agent of the townsite company returns to the city. The contract bad been let for repairing the foot bridge at the (iranby smeller. The water and light cominittie was authorized to let the contract for electric light poles to the lowest tender, which was Geo. Taylor—?5 for 45-foot and (4 for 35-foot poles. Aid. McCallum gave notice that at the next meeting he would introduce a by-law regulating the sale of wood apd coal. Aid. Donaldson reported tbat there was a dangerous crossing at the Great Northern tracks which needed a street light. Neil McCallum informed the council that there was an nre lamp in front of the old Columbia post office, and he did not th nk any one would object if it was removed to tbe place indicated by Aid. Donaldson. The matter was referred to the water and light committee, wilh power to act. The health and relief committee recommended the appointment of an official gravedigger, the fees to be (5 for graves for adults and (3 for children. The council authorized the committee to make the appointment, and to report at the next meeting. Aid. Donaldson was anxious to know if a man couldn't dig his own grave. He was informed that he could if he felt strong enough to do so when his own funeral came around. Ou motion of Aid. Woodland and Donaldson, the assessment roll was made returnable April 29tb. Tbe council then adjourned until next Monday night. THE 20,000. CLUB Committee Appointed to Endeavor to Secure a Grant for a Fair Railway Matters Discussed. Committee Named to Draft Resolutions The regular meeting of the 20,000 olub was held in the city last Friday night, President Hanington occupying the chair. There was a good attendance of members. Wm. Spier, chairman of the advertising committee, reported that the club had cleared $49 from the entertainment given by the Palmatier Sisters. He was firmly convinced that the club could make a financial success of any attraction given under its auspices. The club, he added, now had all the necessary supplies to do business. The election of the new executive resulted as follows: N. L. Mclnnis, Wm. Spier, W. H. M. May, W. J. Cook, S. T. Hall, Neil McCallum, J. S. Jost, A. E. Smith, Wallace Chalmers, Chas. Fraser, F. M. Kerby, G. A. Evans. A. E. Smith thought that more energetic measures should be taken to secure new members, as the roll was not increasing as rapidly as it(should. Capt. Disbrowe exhibited a fine sample of tobacco that had been grown close to the city, and thought it would be a good idea if the club would make known to the outside world the abaptability of the soil and climate of the valley for the cultivation of this staple commodity. About a ton of the weed was grown and cured in the valley lost year. A. B. Sloan Sloan suggested the appointment of a committee to correspond with the provincial government and endeavor to secure a grant for a fair in this city next fall. Mr. Burrell explained that in order to ob tain a grant for this purpose, it would first, be necessary to organize an agri cultural association. Government grants to assist fruit and agricultural exhibits were usually equal to the amount subscribed by the citizens. Mr. May said the members present it the meeting could form themselves into an agricultural association, and Mr. Neil McCallum was also of the opinion that if we were to hold a fair in the fall it was none too soon to com mjnee operations at once. On motion of Mr. Slonn, a committee of six was appointed to look into tbe feasibility of carrying out the project. The chair appointed M. Burrell' A. B. Sloan, Neil McCallum, Wm. Spier, F. E. Cooper and Ernest Miller is such committee. Neil McCalluin brought up the question of urging the Great Northern Railway company to establish its first division out of Spokano at Grand Forks. The officials were yet undecided on this matter, and the time was nearly ripe for them to decide. The t iwn that mude the strongest pull generally carried off tbe plum. History showed that railways could be influenced as well as smaller concerns. Capt. Disbrowe suggested that the sime action be taken in respect lo the C.P.R., arid Mr. McCalluin said that Mr. Busteed had always maintained that Grand Forks was the natural divisional point for that road. W. J. Cook stated that the Great Northern at present made Grand Forks a terminal point for its freight business. On motion of Messrs. Cooper and Sloan, a committee was appointed to draft a resolution on the subject. The chair named Wm. Spier, A. B, W. Hodges, N. McCalluin and M. Burrell as members of the committee. Mr. Cooper said the committee ought not to overlook the Kettle Valley line, but should induce that company to hold its t.ains in this over night. The committee should act generally in railway matters. Capt. Disbrowe drew attention to the fact that the railways were selling settlers' tickets from Winnipeg to Spokane for (19, and an effort should be made to secure the same rate to Boundary points. After the adjournment of the club a meeting of the executive was held, when tho following sub-committees were appointed: Advertising, N. L. Mclnnis, Wm. Spier, Neil McCallum, A. E. Smith, J. S. Jost, F. M. Kerby; membership, W. J. Cook, W, H. M. May, G. A. Evans W. C. Chalmers, S. T. Hall and Chas. Fraser. A. E. Smith suggested that the club give a "smoke.'" in the near future. Tbe proposition was received with favor, and the names of A. E. Smith, Wm. Spier and W. J. Cook were added to the entertainment committee. The committee was authorized to proceed with the arrangements for the "smoker." A NEV INSTITUTE Kettle Valley Farmers Organize and Elect Officers for Current Year TOPICS OF THE TOWN The death of Joseph Wasson, aged 70 years, occurred at his home in the West end last Saturday night, after a brief illness. Deceased was an old-timer of this valley, having resided here for about eight years, and was universally honored and esteemed by all who knew hiin. Four daughters—Mrs. E. Spraggett, Mrs. Frank Ruckle, and the Misses Sarah and Eliza Wasson—survive him. The funeral was held on Monday, and was very largely attended. The remains were interred in the city cemetery. The annual provincial convention of teachers will be held at Nelson on April 2d, 3d and 4th, for the discussion of topics of interest to the teaching fraternity. It is stated that the program is one of the best for several years past. Mr. W. A. Mclntyre, principal of the Normal school, Winnipeg, will deliver an address. He is 'recognized us one of the premier authorities on educational matters in Canada, and his remarks should be of great value to the attending teachers. G. M.

M. Burrell was elected temporary chairman, and on taking his seat he expressed the opinion that time was ripe for organization. Mr. E. Spraggett stated that there were forty paid-up members on the roll. He fully explained the Farmers' Institute Act. The government gave a certain amount of support to institutes for fruit and agricultural exhibits. In some instances the amount donated had been as high as (1000. The institute formed here would be a subdivision of the Osoyoos district. A lengthy discussion ensued whether to organize a farmers' institute or an agricultural association. Nearly everybody in tke room thought it would be advisable to start in with an institue, as the members had subscribed tbeir names with that understanding, and that idea finally prevailed. J. L. Manly moved, seconded by H. B. Cannon, that we organize an institute to be known as tbe Kettle Valley Farmers' Institute, embracing the territory comprised in the political divisions of Grand Forks and Grenwood districts. The resolution was adopted by a unanimous vote. The following officers were elected: President, M. Burrell; vice president, J. D. Honsberger; secretary, 8. T. Hall; treasurer, Fred Clark; directors, Joseph Manly, Frank Coryell, Geo. Hansen, Tom Powers, J. Itooke, H. B. Cannon, R. Lawson. The advisability of holding a fair in this city next fall was discussed at length. H. W. Collins and Wm. Spier gave their experiences in connection with exhibitions of this nature on a small scale in the east. Moved by E. Spraggett, seconded by H. W. Collins, that, in the opinion of this meeting, it is desirable to hold a horticultural and agricultural fair in tbis city next fall, and we pledge the enterprise our hearty support. The resolution was adopted without a dissenting voice. The Institute starts out with a membership of fifty, as follows: H. C. Kerman, Joe Manly, L. Vaughan, S. T. Hall, H. W. Collins, B. Jewell, J. D. Honsberger, R. A. Brown, P. A. Z. Pare, P. De Wilde, Fred Clark, G. A. Evans, H. B. Cannon, J. McLaren, H. Eyer, T. Wiseman, A. D. Morrison, E. Spraggett,S. R. Almond, D. Whiteside, A.

FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1907 It appears that the 20,000 club and the Farmers' Institute were organized none too soon to advertise Grand Forks and the Kettle valley. A writer in the March number of the Fruit-Grower, perhaps the leading publication of its class on ihe continent, gives an extended write-up of the fruit growing industry in British Columbia. The coast, Okanagan and Kootenay districts are given due prominence, but we look in vain for any mention of the Boundary district. And yet the Boundary is one of the few districts in the province that has successfully raised fruit on a commercial basis. We have here the second largest orchard—the Covert estate— in British Columbia. This is the oldest orchard in the interior of province. It was started in 1885 by Mr. W. H. Covert. Today it contains over 11,- 000 trees, and more will be planted this spring. Besides this mammoth plantation, there are innumerablesmall- er orchards in the valley, all of them growing the finest quality of fruit and making handsome profits on thc investments. As an illustration of how other sections are stealing our thunder in the fruit growing business, it may be stated that for advertising purposes we are generally tacked onto the West Kootenay district; and Nelson takes the credit of being the cen- * tie of that district. And in former years fruit grown on the Covert estate has been purchased by the Coldstream ranch, in the Okanagan, and shipped abroad as packed by tbat company, without any intimation as to where it was grown. It is against these methods that we enter an emphatic protest. We want the outside world to know that fruit shipped from this city has been grown in the Kettle valley, and that Grand Forks is the commercial centre of that valley. composed mainly of horticultur sts. there is no reason why it shoulil not bear good fruit. If is an institution that has been needed in tins valley for a number of years. It has been suggested by a number of citizens that the 20,000 club and other eivic organizations start an agitation to have Smelter lake cleared of stnmps, logs and other debris during low water. The suggestion is good ; but the word "action" should be substitution for "agitation." The carrying out of this plan would give us a very pretty pleasure resort at the very door of the city—a thing that we stand greatly in need of. The expense of having this work done should be comparatively small, when the amount of advertising the city would derive from such a beauty spot is taken into consideration. The labor situation in tbe East Kootenay coal fields again lookB very threatening, and today will probably decide whether it is to be peace or war. As we expressed an opinion on this subject a week or so ago, further comment will be withheld until the crisis is reached. Southeast Kootenay and Yale districts produced 37,097,000 pounds of copper, valued at *1*7,415,800, in 1906. Most of this enormous output was mined and treated in the Boundary district, and by far the greater portion of the Boundary output came from Grand Forks. The Coast Is Prosperous Mr. Ernest Miller, who has just returned from a two weeks' visit to the coast cities, tells an interesting story of the present prosperity of that section of the province. "On former visits to the coast," said he in a chat with The Sun man yesterday, "I have often marveled at the wonderful strides made in the upbuilding of Vancouver, Victoria and New Westminster, but on no other occasion have the signs of general prosperty made so deep an impression on ine as on my present trip. Even staid old Victoria is enjoying a healthy boom. Vancouver, which has gained an enviable reputation all over this broad land for its progressiveness, is going ahead by bounds and leaps. Fine residences and big business blocks are to be seen on every hand in course of erection. 1 was also greatly impressed with the activity of the real estate market and building operations in New Westminister. The general public of the two last mentioned cities appear to be confident in looking over the situation, that it will not long be before these towns are joined together by one continuous street. "I attribute this life and bustle," he continued, "partly to the fact that a great deal of American capital is being invested in the coast cities, and partly on account of the influx of settlers from eastern Canada, Manitobaand the northwest. Although real estate prices seem high to a man coming from the interior of the province,when compared with the figures charged for realty in the cities south of the international boundary line they are extremely low. "New Westminster possesses many desirable features, as a consequence of which property is advancing rapidly. It is the only city on the coa't that owns its water frontage, and this has been taken up for miles for mill sites. There is also considerable talk at present about tho Great Northern establishing large shops at that place. Aside from these advantages, the city possesses unequaled educational facilities, including the Columbian college. It is also blessed with an ideal climate. "From information gathered while I was at the coast, I learned that a vast number of people, who have tired of the rigors of the eastern winters, are coming to this province this sum raer. A strong effort should be made by the citizens of Grand Forks to secure a portion of these settlers for this valley." "While I was pleased to note the evidences of prosperity on the coast," concluded Mr. Miller, "I am equally glad to get back to Grand Forks and the salubrious zephyrs of the Kettle valley. With a united effort, and a liberal amount of publicity, I am confident that this district will soon enjoy an era of activity riyaling that ut present prevailing at the coast." up for a hearing before Judge Cochrane on Wednesday, but were dis charged, as there was not sufficient evidence to prove a case against them Beautiful showing of Easter Millinery at Miss Cosgrove's Millinery Store, Saturday afternoon, March 23.
