Dickson presented a statement of accounts in connection with the Irrigation Convention. The expenses, he said, had been kept vary much lower than had been anticipated and the $500 grant from the Association would cover all outlay except $123.50, nearly all of which was for additional motor car hire and the cost of repairing an auto which had been damaged. The rest, amounting to $9, was deficit on the excursion to Penticton. The small figure at which the expense had been kept was partly due to the kindness of Aid. Sutherland who had supplied beds for the use of the delegates without any charge. It was not necessary now said the doctor to refer to the success of the convention, but he would like to point out that through it Kelowna had received an enormous amount of valuable publicity and at very little cost. Aid. Sutherland said the council were very grateful to Dr. Dickson for his splendid work as sacretaiy of the convention. He had not only worked hard for convention but had done a great amount of publicity work in the way of writing articles for outside papers. The following resolution was passed: — " That the city council express their appreciation of the valuable services which Dr. Dickson had rendered to the city and district while acting as secretary of the Western Canada Irrigation Association by tendering him a hearty vote of thanks, the same to be placed on the minutes of the council." In thanking the council for their resolution Dr. Dickson said he would like to see the publicity work which he had been doing carried on. The notices to the different papers should be kept up at the surest way of letting the outside world know what was going on in Kelowna. He also drew attention to the special meeting of the Irrigation Association which had been called for January 9th and 10th next in Victoria to discuss matters of special interest to British Columbia. The executive of the? Association had appointed him secretary for B.C. and he hoped the special«von- vention would be a great success. He advised the council to be ready to bring any mailers in which they were interested before that meeting.

Suicide at Funeral of Late Emperor of Japan The funeral of the hrle Emperor of Japan has been signalized by a shocking and startling acl. General Count Maresuke Nogi, supreme military councillor of lhe Japanese Empire, and his wife, the Countess Nogi, committed suicide in accordance with the ancient Japanese custom as their finnl tribute to thrir departed emperor and friend Mutushito. Following the Samurai custom the couple had c irefully prepared their plans for killing themselves and timed themselves so that they would be coincident with the departure for ever from Tokio of the dead emperor. An neroplatie was used in a British election campaign to distribute leaflets in remote districts. 1 imber royalties in excess of $60,000 were paid lo the provincial government laat month. This is the record month for 1912. Redistribution will be introduced in Alberta legislature this fall and it is believed that 19 more members will be provided for. The Duke of Sutherland slates that the sum of one hundred thousand dollars will be spent next year in pursuance of his colonization scheme in the interior of British Columbia. Germany

(From our own correspondent) _ The Rev. and Mrs. R.iberlson, jf Oknnagan Centre were visiting Mr. and Mrs. Seelev on Wednesday of last'week. ��� The Misses Wentworlh and Chapmand, and Messrs. Cassar and Gibson were visitors at the west side on luesduy lust. Mr. G. A. Batchelor is busy superintending tbe improvement ol his beautiful property on the Wilson Landing Hut adjacent to the wharf. It has long waited for its proper share of attention and doubtless will soon give ample proof of its many possibilities. For one thing the land there is particularly early. It also has a fine beach, the best in fact for many miles along the lake shore. On Tuesday evening, th- 17th, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Leney entertained a parly of thirty of their friends. A dainty and appetizing high tea awaited their arrival at 5.30 p.m., afterwards the time being spent in music, dancing, blind man's buff and other time-honoured games. The hours passed ull too quickly until midnight when refreshments were again demanded. Liter many expressions of appreciation were showered upon the genial host and hostess as their guests took leave of them. Venison is not by any means a common subject for culinary effort about here this season except in the case of Mr. G. A. Batchelor who a week ago had an experience of an excellent piece of pot-luck in that direction. He was returning to the ranch in the evening and noticed some animal swimming ahead of his launch. On close inspection it proved to be a fine four-point buck. Putting into the shore Mr. Batchelor collected his 44 and Mr. Thos. Gibson. Continuing this new style of hunting ihey again gave chase nnd succeeded in roping the animal which after a couple of shots was soon in a condition lo bring to land. Few, if any, medecinea have met with the uniform aucce,. that has attended the u.e of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The rumarltable cure. of colic and diarrhoea which it ha? eflected in almost every neighborhood have given it a wide reputation.

Don, the Equine Spy The production of this two thousand-foot masterpiece,
was successfully consummated after a total waste of eighteen hundred feet of negative. This waste was not due to any oversight or lhe lack of efficiency of the director in charge or the bone-head- edness of the camera man. A combination of unavoidable accidents, or lather incidents, caused the waste to stretch to such extraordinary lengths. While it is Hue that the producer worked wilh the most intelligent animal in the) world, it is also true that intelligent animals like some intelligent persons will sometimes misunderstand'and thus cause waste and trouble. As for instance, Don, who plays the title role in
was told to fetch a tin pail. Instead he stretched forth his sinuous neck, opened his jaws and tried to swallow Darwin Kan's head, it is certain this intelligent animal didn't mean this as a reflection on Karr��� for Darwin's head is not as empty as a tin pail-���any intelligent horse wilh the horse-sence of Don would know this. At any rate, this incident was registered at lhe cost ol a hundred or more feet of film. But lhe final results tell the tale. Only an inveterate grouch of a manufacturer would grumble at the mere waste of even ten thousand feet of negative after an exhibition on (he screen of compelling and dominating Don, delightfully going through his capers with almost human intelligence. Really Don is a horse with a personality. He is as endearing and |dclectable as a remarkable child. He steals papers and lights bonfires with more than animal instinct or trainirg. I le does things wilh a natural trace that ia seemingly bom to him.
