Ihe report was accepted by the council. The water and light committee reported that considerable repairs were being done to the lighting system, it being planned to replace some 80 poles; also that some 1060 feet of wooded pipe on Riverside avenue, which had given considerable trouble recently, would be replaced with steel pipe; a check-up was being made on lawn and garden sprinkling.

On a pilgrimage to those historic treasures one must board a crowded car on the Guaqull train in La Paz and climb behind an electric locomotive some 1400 feet ln the ring fo that huge bowl which holds the picturesque capital city. From thpre the road leads westward toward Tla- huanacu, LYake Tlticaqa, Copacaca- bana, and the Island of the Sun and Moon. The village of Tiahuanacu is situated near the ruins of the ancient city of Tiahuanacu, which, according to most chroniclers and Indian historians, did not bear that name during the Spanish conquest, nor even while the Incas were masters of the district. It Is generally agreed that Tiahuanacu is a Quichua denomination bestowed only a few hundred years ago. On what may have been the true history of Tiahuanacu ruins' one speculates fruitlessly, for Its carvings and Its characters have never been read with certainty. To attribute the structures to Aymara or Quichua peoples, races ot yesterday, is incorrect. The Aymara tongue is the Sanskrit of America, and even older than Tiahuanacu; but the Ayma,ra race itself, conquered by the language and taking name from It, is far younger. Geographically considered, It seems well established that the ancient city, now situated on a spacious plain some 13% miles from Lake Titicaca, once stood on the shores of a southern bay of the lake, for north of thp ruins exist traces of a harbor mole, Lake Titicaca apparently having receded in the course of the centuries. Tithuianacu has been judged tho product of two distinct and successive civilizations, the latted supposedly reconstructing, to some extent, ruins left by an earlier people. Some investigators attribute tne reconstruc lion work to the Aymaras, whose des cendents now dwell in the region, but the latter have no traditions or legends about such builders, much less of the primitive preceding civil. lzatlons. Dr. Belisario Diaz Romero, former ly director of the National Museum of Bolivia, thinks we must seek for the origin of the primitive Ttahuana- cotan in an ancient Andean race of Mongoloid source, the predecessors or contemporaries of the predece3-i sors of the founders' of the Mayan civilization in Central America. The resemblance of the present, Indian Inhabtans to the Asiatic Mongols is startling. Indians of Mongloid Type The Almara Quichua peoples are identified by many studentB of anthro pology with the Tartar-Mongols In all the South American groups in Peru, Chile, Argentia, and ancient Colom- bia, and are of a type chiefly brachy- cephalic. The head is largo.tho face broad, the cheeks wide; the nose is large aud salient, but never sharp; the eyes are small aud usually black, the lips thick, There are many indications that two very different civilizations sue ceeded each other at ancient Tiahuanacu. Many of the worked stones are only half finished, which induces the belief that some great catustro phe, natural or otherwise, compelled the workmen to leave their tasks uncompleted. The character of the work Itself denotes that the halt-shaped and sculptured stones belong to the second phase of Tiahuanacu's history Statues and monoliths are not of the tribute. They are similar In appearance to those seen In Denmark.Ger- many, France, and other European countries. Covered galleries, with their openings always toward the rising sun or to the north, are occasionally found in the low hflls near the Tiahuanacu ruins. Other features of these monuments are the great statues hewn out of the raw stone, representing heroes and divinities, a class of sculpture said to be entirely lacking among European ruins of comparable culture. r.olivian investigators have designated by their various Aymara names the different sections of the ruins. A stairway once led to the upper level, where a great basin of water stood. A part of the hill slopes near by have been sown to grain by thrifty Indian families without sentiment. A canal of stone seems lo have led down the side of this mound, for some purpose not now clear, , and sections of the graystone trough conduits still exist in short pieces in one of the ruins below. Temple of the Sun North of Akapan, a thousand feet or less from the base, lies what is generally considered the oldest of the ruins, Kalasasaya, or Temple of the Sun. It Is a parallelogram about 400 feet square, marked on all sides by upright menhirs from 15 to 20 feet high. This ruin rises from a single terrace, about 10 feet above the surrounding plain, which is said to have been covered entirely with smooth paving stones at one time. Monolith and statue bases, tops of great pillars, conduit sections, and pieces of doubtful origin still remain here and there. Pillars are deeply rooted In the soil and so cut and designed as to bear groat slabs, platforms and arches. They are from 16 to 20 feet apart. In the northwestern angle of Kalasasaya the Oreat Portal, Sanctuary, or Gateway of the Sun, as It is variously known, is the most interesting single portion of the ruins to the east of the village. This famous door.llke others of Tiahuanacu, was shaped from a single block ot gray volcanic rock, about 16 inches thick. Standing erect, it measures some 11 by 15 feet and faces toward the east. Its central doorway measures four and a half feet in height and- two and a hit iu width. This surprising facade is wonderfully ornamented in low relief upon the eastern side above the door.-The motif consists in general of a figure of the Sun God, the rays about his head, some of which terminate in small heads of a jaguar, the Tiahuanacu God of Night aud bearer of the moon in the sky. In each hand the Sun God bears a hoe-shaped scepter. He is flanked by forty-eight figureB, twenty-four on a side, consisting of three rows of eight NEW PRICES POR APRICOTS KELOWNAJuly 25—Apricot prices effective July 26, in open lugs, 3% cents to Jobbers and 4*4 cents per pound to retailers. COMMITTEE OF T T Cherries The committee of direction has had a very anxious time over the cherry crop in determining, first, a fair price at which It could be marketed and, second, what to do after It was so badly damaged by rain. When the committee in its anxiety to help those growers who had only a proportion of their crop left, raised the price to $3 PROVINCE'S 1928 APPLE CROP With the "June drop" over and apple thinning practically completed ln British Columbia, the commercial crop is now estimated at 4,449,600 boxes, as compared with 3,238,600 boxes in 1927, or an increase of 38 per cent. The commercial estimate (boxes) by districts reported, compared with 1927 (figures in bracets rokpresenting 1927), is as follows: Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands, 45,000; Lower mainland, no report; Okunagan district, 4,043,600 (3,037,- 510); Kootenay and Arrow Lakes, 160,000 (124,250); Grand Forks, 86,- 000; Creston, 165,000. In the Okanagan, Kootenay and Boundary districts, it is reported that apples are sizing up better than in average years, and with favorable weather it is expected the above estimates will be maintained. Irrigation water is plentiful in all districts to bring fruit to full size and maturity.

In future," it is almose a foregone conclusion lhat, with the large annual increase in production, prices will have to be relatively low. Apparently In no other way can a production of 50,000 to 75,000 boxes of cherries be marketed withn ten days or two weeks. Moreover, yellow varieties should be retained for local consumption. They are not in favor onother markets when Bings and Lamberts are available, and the reputation of Royal Annes has suffered from other yellow varieties being shipped under that name.

Tomatoes The situation In tomatoes will be a difficult one this year for growers, if the recent information that cannery operations are likely to be restricted is correct. This will make the production available for shipment far greater than any possible consumption. In all probability, however, the committee will set a moderate price at the movement to the prairies should be free. That principle was applied to cucumbers last year with satisfactory results. GrowerB should cooperate in maintaining a high standard in the packing.

At the moment, it .appears better that this should be done rather than that an expensive program of detailed oversight should be attempted. Moreover, a market is at times afforder for fruit whicii would be overripe for shipping to other markets. The new order on permits enables the small shipped, at the cost ot $1, to ship his product up i to the value of $75 without the trou- i ble of remitting levies to the commit- j tee. Infraction* The committee has information already that some shippers have been attempting to evade the regulations of the committee. Action against these la pending.

In connection with tin. marketing of these In Canada, be expressed the possibility of establishing a factory for the making of cider and cider vinegar at the coast, which would provide a wide outlet for the surplus apples of British Columbia. Export As a matter of Interest it might be noted that the fruit branch of the department of agriculture has received a communication that boxes of Canadian apples exported to Great Britain must bear one of three wordB, "Empire," "Canada" or "Canadian," ln letters not less than three inches high. The Empire Marketing Board adlvces the use of "Empire-Canada." New Zealand Apples in Nova Scotia Recently 10,900 boxes of appleg were landed in Halifax from New Zealand.

There has been much sympathy and "ragging" wasted on them—especially on fat b .vs. They have long suffered under the old heartless saying that 'nobody loves a fat man." It Is not tbe truth but the prevalence of the saying that has worked them injury—particularly with the opposite and willful sex. All ules have exceptions. Let the heavy fellows remember that the saying nobody loves a fat man 1s no truer than the one that all fat men are honest. TN 1871 the Italian government absorbed as part of the * territory of Italy much of the property over which the pope of Rome had exercised and claimed jurisdiction aud possession. The Italian government placed to the credit of the Vatican a sum of money and certain guaranties which have not been accepted by the Roman authorities. It Is said that the Italian government Is anxious to adjust the matter, but so far the papal claim has not been diminished, which is temporal power or jurisdiction over the disputed territory. IT was natural, on account of the rigors of the climate, that interest ln sleeping arrangements should be pronounced in northern countries. Surely no southern race evolved tho feather bed. Among the humble Saxon folk, writes Estclle H. Ries in the Mentor Magazine, beds were simple saks filled with straw and laid on benches or chests. This use of straw continued for centuries, even on the beds of kings. The covers were usually the skins of wild beasts. It must be said, however, that these robust people had a certain contempt for a soft couch, so that often their choice of a hard one was voluntary. NATIVES of Iloa and Badu, coastal islands of Australia, are reporting experiences with flying lizards. They brought one in for a missionary to examine and he found the creature had a parchment-like skin stretched from body to forelegs. Txperiments showed that the reptile actually could volplane from tree tops of considerable height with uncanny accuracy. Natives' say it will not attack the passerby if it is seen but if one takes one's eyes from the creature before out of its range of flight, one hears a faint hiss and almost instantly feels sharp claws in the back. The natives previously had brought to the missionary a snake which can run forward or backward with equal ease. JOSEPH JEFFERSON, celebrated actor, believed ihe would be remembered by posterity as a painter rather than for his stage triumphs. One day, toward the end of his life, he was showing William H. Crane—Mr. Crane relates the incident ln "Footprints and Echoes"— a painting he had just finished. ' Do you know, William, he said, "I think that whatever lasting fame will be mine when I am gone, will come through my brush and not through anything I have done on the Btage." "I don't suppose," comments Crane, "anyone looks at Pef- ferson's paintings today, or even remembers that he was a painter." THE artist, John Singer Sargent, was found dead in bed one morning on the eve of sailing for the United States. Before him lay an open volume of the Diction- aire Philosophique of Voltaire. His glasses had been pushed up over his brow; he looked as if he were just taking a nap. Tennyson died with his Shakespeare open at "Cymbeline." Macaulay, the historian, was found dead with the Cornhill magazine before him open at the first chapter of Thackeray's "Lovel the Widower." Mark Twain had been reading Carlyle's "French Revolution" when he died. There are worse ways of dying, foutwo should hate to leave a good book unfinished. IN most eastern countries the rivers run low during the non-rainy period of the year, to such an extent that islands of mud and silt appear in many places. These are often cultivated, their harvest being gathered before ththe flood stage of the river reocc.ui'B. In the north of Siam, in the border town of Chiengmai, the many little Islands that make their appearance in the Me Ping are cultivated by the inhabitants as vegetable gardens. Little lookout sheds are constructed from which the owners keep watch of their crops. Scarcely an inch of ground is wasted by these industrious folk, and several kinds of European vegetables are grown. When the river rises again, all these carefully tilled gardens disappear, THE of wrought iron bears an honorable lineage. It 's generally regarded as an offshoot nf the more ancient craft of the armorer, who was an Indispensable figure ln every fudal community. 'Ilie training of these armorers In manipulating metals into delicate forms /xtul weldjngs, and their skill in chasing and inlaying defensive a'rmor, found opportunity to display its talents in the grilles, gates, locks and hinges of the feudal castle itself. The church as well demanded skilled design and workmanship In this same direction. The craft soon spread all over civilized Europe, each country stamping upon !L____£ Impress of its own national character. In their turn, the American craftmen succeeded in evolving a distinctive style, mhtch is simple and graceful in motif. It Is from these e,arly designs that work for modern residences Is, being made by craftsmen and by the more ambitiouf commercial workers ln iron. AN insurance company of New York announces from its accumulation of data and figures that fat men are more honest than their "lean and hungry" brothers, trtitch corroborates Shakespeare's opinion expressed lon& ago when he made his Caesar say: "Let me have fat men about me that are fat." The fat man i. noted for his ready and hearty laugh, and that may explain, in a way, some of his honesty. It is hard to picture a good-humored, open-faced, jolly man as anything but fair and square and straight. Of course, "a man may smllo and smile and be a villain," but that sort of mirth Is a pinch-faced, half-strangled kind. A smile is often associated with wickedness, but p. free, belly-shaking laugh A DOCUMENT of considerable hi toric and literary importance was recently sold ln __,ondon. It was the original letter written by the famous Restoration wit, Lord Rochester, on his deathbed, recanting his sad past The letter was garbled as a broadside after his death, and even Bishop 'Burnett, to whom it was addressed, re produed it inacccurately. It is of Interest, therefore, to give his actual words: "My most honrd, Dr. Burnett.- My spirit and body do decay soe equally together that I shall write you a letter as weak as I am. In person 1 begin to value Churchmen above all men in the world, and you above all the Churchmen I know most.

It was an outcome of the conflict between the classical and romantic schools of painting which occupied the first half of the nineteenth century. The. Harbison school took nature as a guide. Jean Francois Millet, leader of the rustic genre, was one of the notable members of this school.

WHILE we attribute the discovery of the ultra-violet ray to a nineteenth-century scientist, the use of 't in the treatment of disease is of ancient origin. Sun treatments are known to have been given about 3000 years ago, and probably date back much farther, be causethe practice of sun worship la very old. For varl ous reasons sun treatments became a lost art until the eighteenth century. Since that time they have enjoyed ran Increasing popularity. The discovery that the ultraviolet in the sun's rays was laryely responsible for many beneficial effects probably was one of the greatest single advancements made in heliotherapy. Immediately new fields were opened and much more careful scientific studies were made. Heliotherapy, the art, began to take on the aspect of a science. It 1b not a full-grown science yet, however, for much remains to be learned, and until there is closer cooperation between physicians and dphy- sicists there is little hope that It will become full grown. Neither the physician nor the physicist is sufficiently well informed in tho other'B field to permit him to undertake intelligent Investigations in ultra-violet therapy. Probably n many instanstances one is unwilling to call upon the other for aid lest he lose credit to himself thereby. Fortunately, however, the need for united effort Is being recognized to a greater and greater extent, so that within the next few years many' facts concerning the use of ultra-violet therapy should be brought to light.— Donald C.

While R. R. Gilpin is enjoying his vacation at Hayden Lake, the king's business at the customs office is being attended to by Wm. Cook. The Grand Forks Fruit & Nursery company has been Incorporated.' It will carry on a general nursery business, canners and packers, as well as deal in nursery supplies. The Sun is a little short of news for this Issue. During the week both Mr. McKeehan, the immigration inspector, and ye editor experienced a ticklish sensation under the arms as if wings were beginning to sprout. We took it for granted that the natural sequence ot events would follow, and indited and had put into type two glowing obituaries, setting forfi in our choicest language th'! manifold virtues of the two late-lamented. For obvious reasons these had to be llted out of the forma at the last moment and the space they occupied filled with political news. Friends to whom we imparted an inkling of our symptoms even went so far as to purchase floral wreaths for the double funeral. These kind hearted people will be reimbursed for their outlay If they will call on Mr. McKeehan or at this ofllce. sunshine BRITISH COLUMBIA Depended on the Gas It was his first week In the city, and the things that interested him most were tbe motorcycles that whizzed by, so he bought a second-' hand one and started out. Up one street and down another he went, going faster and faster, and waving to the people on the streets. They wondered, but got out of tho way. Policemen rushed out and tried to stop him but he kept on. In an hour or so he came to a halt, and an officer stepped up to him. "Why didn't you saop when I ordered you to?" 'Stop!" exclaimed the man. "I wanted to, but didn't know how! I had to go till the gas gave out!"

THE IMPORTANCE OF RE8T LIFE consists of alternating periods of activity and rest. To live ln a healthy condition It if necessary tbat these periods be bal adced one with the other. If activity Is too prolonged there Is a loss of efficiency. Tne tired eye sees less well, the tired muscles do not respond as quickly, the tired workman produces a smaller quantity and a lower grade of work, the tired brain is less efficient. It is a well established fact that it much higher percentage of accidents occur in factories towards the end of the day. Even under the stimulus of a patriotic fervour, it was found that the number of sheets produced per week, during the Oreat war, was in creased by reducing the hours of work ln the elimination of Sunday work. . , A change is a rest. Recreation or play Is a change which provides rent ln one manner. It does not, however, provide rest ln all ways. It Is rest ln the sense that it Is a diversion but it is not restful in the sense that sleep is. Play furnishes relief from the monotony of work, gives a fresh mental stimulus, but It does not provide for the rest that is needed to rebuild and restore the body-cells broken down by activity. Periods of activity, either at work or at play, must be balanced by periods of rest, and the ideal rest is sleep. When disease attacks the body, rest is one of the essentianls of treatment.

The last ten years have increased production by 58.9 per cent. The value of all Canada's production is $25.70 per citizen, British Columbia's production today, if distributed, would mean $111.96 per person annually! Our mined and treated tonnage of metalliferous ores reached a record of more than 5-million tons for 1927. The value of the mining industry to the Province is in the distribution of money in wages, supplies, transportation services, etc. Ana in this respect, 1927 was a record year! The 14,000 employees of the mining industry were paid wages totalling 23 million dollars . , . or nearly $1,700 each... the highest average for any Canadian Province. During the year, distribution of eight million dollars was made in dividends! British Goluni! ia mines approximately 40 million dollars worth of copper, zinc and lead, a year . . . more than the rest of Canada. In gold and silver, our production ranks second ... in coal, third; our total annual mining production today being exceeded only by Ontario. Sound legislation, good mining laws and low fees have encouraged this development and stimulated growth. Although the provincial mining area has only been superficially prospected within the transportation belt, new fields are developing, new roads and trails constantly being built. Chattering drills sink deeper and deeper into the hiils . . . heavy ores rumble through the concentrators . .. fortunes come tumbling from the treasure chest of British Columbia! What was once only imagined about our mining potentialities, is now proven knowledge. Mining has become our third largest industry... showing over 67 million dollars revenue a year . . . proof that prosperity flourishes in British Columbia. Capita] from Eastern Canada, the United States, Great Britain, France... seeks investment. Our great wealth of production, developing so steadily during the past ten years, has established confidence and aroused keen interest in British Columbia's mining future the world over.

Cherries were urriv.lug ln carlots at every point; these looked fine, but plainly showed the effect ot too much moisture. Prices were well maintained by the trade; peddlers got tbe bulk of the jobbed stuff. British Columbia apricots were arriving in good] condition; jobbers complained about' so many No. 2 offering; their customers seek No. 1.
