VOL IV. NO. 52. KELOWNA. BRITISH COLUMBIA, THURSDAY. NOV. 21, 1912. $1.50 Per Annum. Meeting of City Council Problem of New Streets - Tax Exemption for C.N.R. There waa a full attendance at Monday's council meeting. Mr. F. R. E. DeHart brought to the attention of the council the condition of Haynei avenue. Three or four new tracks had been put in but no crossings made. He thought it was the duty of the C. P. R. to see that these crossings were made passable and recommended that the city take the matter up with the company. At present he had two cars of hay down there which he could not get out until the road was fixed. The Mayor promised that the Council would have the situation remedied. Mr. VV. B. M. Calder attended with a subdivision plan of the north half of Block 37, which plans were laid on the table until next meeting to giVe I interested parties a chance to object if they wished. A autSdivision plan of Block 5, aubmitted by'Mr. A.Patterson was also dealt with in the aame way, This was in accordance with a resolution passed at a recent meeting. An important matter was brought up in a communication from Mr. H. A. Heggie, solicitor for the Canadian Northern Railway which referred to certain tax notices which had been received from the city on the lands owned by the company in Kelowna. Mr. Heggie stated that according to the agreement between' the provincial government and Messrs. MacKenzie & Mann, all lands belonging to the company were exempt from taxation until 1924. It was mentioned in discussion that Mackenzie & Mann owned some 140 acres in town, worth in the neighborhood of $150,000. At the present rate^ Of taxfflBh it| would mean, thia year, a drop of $3,000 in the city's revenue below ���vhat had been anticipated. It was felt that the matter was a serious one and legal opinion should be sought. A resolution was passed that this be done. Tha following accounts were pas'ed for payment: to subdivide and take the chance of paying three or four times the amount of their previous taxes for several'years before any money waa spent there, they should be allowed. This year the greater part of the increased assessment had come from subdivisions, and how much had been spent on them by the city ? A rebate of $31.20 wrongly as- fsessed against the K.L.O. Co. was allowed. Mayor Jones mentioned that the people from whom the city had purchased the ten feet for widening Pendozi street were expecting to have the amount handed over in time to pay their taxes with the money. The time for taking advantage of the rebate expired on the 23rd, and there was hardly time to make arrangements. If the money were paid to holders of agreements of sale the city would require some kind of release from the registered owners. In view of this it was decided to amend the tax by-law, so as to extend the limit of time for the rebate to December 7th, giving two more weeks. An adjournment was.made to two o'clock to give the Amending by-law its first readings. The afternoon meeting was short By-law 122 to extend the date for payment of taxes to December 7th was given a first and second reading. Mr. F. Armstrong made a request for lights on Cadder avenue. Aid. Sutherland mentioned that the tw f. -men and third engineer had a| I for a raise of salary. It was decided, however, to leave the question over to the end of the year. The following afternoon the council assembled for a few minutes to give By-law 122 its third reading.

Sewer payroll for two weeks end* ing November IS - . - 2870.29 A general discussion took place on the subject of newlsubdivisions and the somewhat difficult problem of the city's position in regard to the opening up of the new streets thus created. In some cases the putting of these streets into condition for traffic would be a Serious undertaking, and would involve great expense to the city at some time. Aid. Raymer proposed that before any further subdivision plan was passed the owners be required to grade the streets. ln this he had the support of Aid. Copeland, who said that the city would be upagainst a big brob- lem if they continued accepting subdivisions without reference to the condition of the streets, In a case where a street crossed a slough for instance, the city would be put to a big outlay for filling. City clerk Dunn said the whole matter had been thoroughly gone into at the recent municipal convention and a resolution passed that municipalities be given power r to require subdivisions cleared and streets graded before acceptance by the council. At present, however, the city had no power to make such a demand. Aid. Sutherland was inclined to disagree with the principle of imposing such a restriction upon subdividing. At present, he said, the outlying districts were being taxed heavily for the benefit of the centre of the town, and practically getting no benefit from the taxes. If people in these suburbs wished One of the Okanagan's old- timers, John A. Coryell, was interred last Saturday afternoon in Kelowna cemetery by the side of his mother and sister, the body having brought in Friday from Arizona where his death took place. Deceased was a brother-in-law of Mr. E. Weddell, and some 20 or 25 yeara ago waa well known from one end of the valley to ti other, ln his capacity of surveyor and civil engineer he had charge of the mapping out of the country in the early days, and the eviden ees of his work are seen all over the district. " Mr. Coryell " says the " Vernon News," was a native of Ontario, his father being interested in the oil wells at Petrolia. He was educated at the Kingston military college, and in 1885 he served through the north-west rebellion as a lieutenant in Steele's scouts from Calgary. Shortly after he came to this country, and for many years pursued his profession as a civil engineer and surveyor. For a while he was associated in partner, ship with Mr. J. P. Burnyeat of Vernon and later on removed to Grand Forks, where he had land interests. He volunteered for the Boer war, and after ita conclusion remained some years in Africa, in the service of the British govern, ment. While in East Africa he suffered from ��� severe attack of fever which compelled him to leave the country, and he again took up his residence at Grand Forks. Last vear hia health broke down, and tuberculosis developed. He removed to Tucson, Arizona, in the vain hope of recovery, nnd it was there that death called him last week." The.funeral took place Saturday afternoon, the ceremony being performed by the Rev. A. Dunn. In compliment to an old soldier a detachment of the B.C. Horse accompanied the cortege to the cemetery and at the conclusion of the service the firing party, in charge of Quarter-master-Sergeant Brooke, fired three volleys over the grave. The "Laat Post "was sounded by Trumpeter Morrison. Although the notice had been very short many of the older residents of Kelowna attended the funeral to do the last honors to a man who had been liked and respected by all. Disastrous Fire at Residence Manager of Tobacco Co. Has Narrow Escape A disastrous fire which removed one of Kelowna's old landmarks and came near resulting in serious oss of life occurred early last Saturday morning, when the residence the residence of Mr. A. W. Bowtier, manager of the British North America lobacco Co., at Benvoulin, was burnt to the ground. The whole thing happened so quickly that the occupants of the house consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Bowser and little girl, Mr. and Mrs. Kimball, parents of Mrs. Bowser and a maid, managed to escape clad only in their night clothes, Mr. Bowser himself, who had gone back again an endeavor to eecure some clothing, only saving his life by a desperate leap from a bedroom window. The family had returned home ate Friday night and retirsd to bed. About 2.30 a.m. Mrs. Bowser was awakened by their little girl who choking with the smoke and nst knowing what was the matter waa calling for ing the room filled wilh smoke Mrs. Bowser roused her husband who quickly taking in the situation hastened to get the women outside. When Mr. Bowser got down to them he found that his father-in- law, Mr. Kimball was still in the house. Rushing back upstairs he found the amid gentleman in his bedroom endeavoring to gather together some clothes. The tire had not yet reached that part of the. house and Mr. Kimball had not realized his danger. Throwing a blanket around him Mr. Bowser assisted him down the stairs, but so fierce had the heat and flames become that both were badly scorched before reaching the garden. The house was an old Wooden one and burnt like matchwood, and had anyone been near to make any attempt to extinguish the fire, there was no water available, and by the time the family had got outside the fire had gained too strong a hold. Taking a desperate chance Mr- Bowser determined to try and save at least some clothing and again made a dash upstairs. Gaining tha bedroom he gathered together a few garments and rushed (or the outaide again, only to find the stairway ablaze and his exit cut off. There was nothing for it but the window. This opened on to the front verandah from which there was a drop of ten or twelve feet to the garden. Smashing through the glass he found hia way barred by a fly screen. ValuaLle minutes were lost getting a hole through thia troublesome material. The draft caused by the broken window began to draw the flames nearer and nearer, and desperate at length with the devouring fire close behind, Mr. Bowser made a plunge through the opening. The impetus of his rush carried him over the verandah roof, and down with a crash to the garden, where he lay bleeding and stunned. A boy, Phillips, who lived in a cottage near by waa daapatched on his pony for Dr. Knox, who aa aoon aa he made out the boy's excited story phoned for C Gowen to get out a car from the auto livery and together they rushed out to the scene of the fire. Mr. Bowser waa badly shaken and cut about the hand with tha broken glass, but not seriously hurt. Leaving the house and Ita contents to burn the tinfortuniate occup- hurts ware brought into town and lodged for the rest of tne night st the liouaea of Dr. Knox and Mr. Gowen, All the pereonel property of the family waa involved in the ruin, not a thing being saved. Tha houae had only recently been nawly furniahed on ita purchase from Mr. T. Renwick. A new $1000 player-piano had juat bean installed amongst other valu. able articles. Including jewelry belonging to Mrs. Bowser, the toaa apart from , the housa will reach eome three or four thou - sand dollar*. The only thing recovered Waa a valuable diamond which was picked up amongst the ashes next day, the ring which held it malted away. Much sympathy la felt tor Mr. Bowser and hia family in thia sudden and painful disaster. Tha destruction of the house removes one of Kelowna'a old landmarks, it having been (though mtch altered, enlarged and modernised) the old ranch house of Eli Lequime, pioneer of the district. The old log structure erected some fifty years ago was included in the building, though the logs had been covered with siding. The C.P.R are now beginning tp move in the matter of a railway from Vernon to Kelowna, and application is to be made at the next session of parliament for a charter to construct a line " (rom a point at or near Vernon in st southerly or south-westerly direc tion bv way of Kelowna and the most feasible route to a point at or near Penticton." Must Keep Fruit Pests Out of B.C. Mr. T. Cunningham Advises Strong Measures The preservation of British Columbia orchards free from the pests which were ravaging nearly every other fruit district oh the American continent, was the burden of an address delivered last Friday night before a special meeting of the Board of Trade by Mr. Thos. Cunningham, provincial fruit inspector. The glory of our B.C. fruit industry was the fact that our growers were able to guarantee fruit free from the dreaded codlin moth and other destructive agencies ; and the advantage and prestige which - this gave to growers must be preserved at nil costs. Hitherto a rigid inspection af all imported fruit and nursery stock had sufficed to keep out the dreaded invasion of codlin moth, but, said Mr. Cunningham, tha industry waa developing so fast that tha minute inapectioa necessary to detect the presence ef the moth was becoming inpraeticeble. The importatiens of fruit and stock were assuming such proportions that an army of aaen would be required to examine every apple and every young _ tree brought in end even then the pres-. drink'of water7Notic-hn" e{, 'h? mo,h, w" *�� ".".f t0 ho. 1 detected that even the utmost vigihnce or the inspection stuff might allow it to get through. And onc�� it got a hold in the province it Bptlt disaster to the growers. Tha danger was imminent and muat be met boldly anal without hesitation. A great moral responsibility rested upon the government and all concerned in bringing in settlers to see that no harm [came to what was now the main industry of the province- " What could be done, then, to save the fruit growing business ? " aaked Mr. Cunningham. He had a remedy and it was the onty one. Nothing short of absolutely forbidding the importation of fruit and nursery stock from infected districts. Apples and apple trees must show a clean bill nf health before they could be admitted The step was a drastic one. but it was his duty as fruit inspector to bring the situation and the suggestion before the fruit grower. There was ample precedent for such a measure. Many other countries and states had adopted a similar course, and if the growers were wise they would lose no time in bringing a strong demand before the government at Ottawa for this only means of protection. Mr. Cunningham's suggestion was received with great enthusiasm by th< meeting and a committee consisting of Messrs. Pooley, L. Taylor and DuMoulin appointed to draw up a resolution along the lines suggested. The resolution presented and passed unanimously at a later meeting of the Board was as follows :��� WHEREAS.the policy of the Dominion Government of Canada and the Provincial Government of British Columbia respectively has been for many years directed by advertising and agents towards the encouragement of immigration into this province and has always advocated thi province and Canada for Fruit Growing ; WHEREAS the aforesaid governments have jointly and severally by lectures, circular letters, bulletins, and other means endorsed this idea, dwelling on the fact that by reason of the climate, soil, geographical position and extensive markets British Columbia in particular and Canada as a whole is admirably adapted for fruit growers, and they have also, by numerous methods, from time to time held out to intending settlers unmistakable assurance that the fruit industry would be fostered and protected by such legislation as might be found necessary in the development and protection of the horticultural industry; AND WHEREAS the fruit growing interests in British Columbia are now large and of yearly-increasing importance ; AND WHEREAS fruit growing tends to bring in capital for investment and to develop resources nf the country both directly and indirectly, not only in the in' dUstry itself but in numerous othrr ways among which irrigation might be cited, which renders fertile large stretches of land otherwise barren and thereby entails closer settlement and denser population, and that population of a class law-abiding industrious, and in every way an asset to the Dominion and the Province ; AND WHEREAS the great extent of land now planted in fruit greatly expose* by its very site the orchards to risk of infection end diseases which if once fairly Started could never Le eradicated, thereby imperilling the industry and welfare of the fruit growers notwithstanding the excellent and untiring efforts made by the Fruit Pest Inspectors to guard against such contingencies, since through the increase of the number of ports o' entry and the vast- nee* of the amount of fruit, vegetables and nursery stock to be handled, it is clearly impossible to avert for long the impending calamity ; AND WHEREAS British Columbia is at present free from all noxious -ests which might seriously damage the fruit growing in the Province, and since by such immunity she enjoys not only the great benefit of clean fruit in ttean orchards but also can enjoy preferential trade relations with other countries in which an embargo is placed on fruit and vegetables shipped from infected countries of origin ��� AND WHEREAS precedent is not laJc. ing for the exclusion of all fruits, vegeta. bles, nursery stock and the like pn (tactions from countries suffering from oests and diseases hurtful to fruit, nn'ably British South Africa, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, in the Dominion of Canada and States of the American Union, and alto Great Britain herself in tha case of cattle, ewine and Board of Trade Monthly Meeting Proposal to Appoint Publicity Commissioner for Kelowna The Board of Trade met Tuesday last in Raymer'a Hall, Mr. R. B. Kerr presiding. The usual batch of correspondence was first disposed of. A letter was read from the Board of Railway Commissioners referring to the question of the preservation of the Okanagan watershed. The attention of the Board ol Trade had been drawn, at a previous meeting, to the danger of dis- truction of the timber on the hills from which the Okanagan received its water supply, when the Kettle Valley railroad, at present building, came into operation. Such a disaster would mean a serious diminution of the moisture which supplied the irrigation systems, and irrigation engineers bad urged the recommendation of oil-burning entities for use on the line. A resolution had been passed to this effect and forwarded to lhe Railway Commission! In the reply read it was stated that the commissioners would sit in Penticton on December 5th when the matter could then be brought before them. The seriousness of the danger was being realized in all parts of the valley, and arrangements were being made, Mr. A. R. Pooley informed the meeting, to appear before the commissioners at Vancouver on November 28th instead of at Penticton. Mr. Pooley, on behalf of the committee appointed at the special meeting last Friday to draw up a resolution bearing upon the advisability of the government prohibiting the importing of fruit into B. C. from districts infested with fruit pests and diseases, read the resolution they had prepared (given in another column.) There was very little discussion on the matter, and the resolution was passed unanimously. Mr. P. Dumoulin and Mr. Pooley gave a brief account, the facts of which are already well known, of the negotiations between the city and the syndicate which proposed to erect a tourist hotel in the Park. Mr. Pooley said that the city had been advised legally that they could not, on any account take up the offer of the company regarding the exchange of the park for such a purpose. He was afraid the idea of using ih.,i site would have to be abandoned. Mr. R. B Kerr was of the opinion that, if the citizens desired it, a special act could be passed to enable the city to sell the site. It was decided to endeavor to ascertain whether the public would back up the council in an effort to secure such a special act and to hold a special meeting of the Board to consider the matter. Dr. Dickson who hnd been a delegate from the Board to ths Dry Fanning Congress at Lethbridge, gave a brief report of proceedings there. What struck him most, he said, when he saw the crowds at the exhibition, was thnt people here had not thoroughly realized the magnitude and importnuce of the Congress, not only to the west but to the whole of Canada and the United States. There were between 40,000 and 50,000 Strang. era in Lethbridge during that week and over 4,000 accredited delegates, it waa the largest, and probably the most successful con vention ever held in the world. The success of the Congress had suggested the idea that instead of holding apple shows in Vancouver or in the centre of the fruit district dogs ; AND WHEREAS it has been abundant, ly proved this last year that the orchards ol British Columbia can amply aupply all markets throughout the Province of British Columbia and the neighbouring prairie provinces of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba so that there would be ne hard ship involved on any citizen of Canada by the exclusion of foreign fruit ; BE IT THEN RESOLVED that this Board respectfully but earnestly urge the Dominion Government to enact such legislation as shall exclude all deciduous fruit such as apples, pears, crab apples, peaches, plums and apricots, all vegetables nnd nursery stock,, ornamental and other trees and plants being imported into this Pro. vince from countries, states and provinces known to be infected with pests and diaaaaes hurtful to fruit, more good could be done by combining with Alberta or Saskatchewan in exhibitions for the benefit of the prairie people to whom B.C. ���.vas looking for a market. The Congress had decided to meet next year in Oklahoma, and there was no reason, said Dr. Dickson, why this district should nut have a good exnibit thtrr, and endeavor to draw a portion of the crowds who were emigrating I mm the States, into the Okanagan, Mr. D. Leckie gave notice thut at the next meeting he would move a resolution lhat a committer be appointed whose duty it would be to enquire into the standing of companies offering stock for sale in town. Thousands of dollars, he said, had gone out of town ae result of the efforts of pedlars of shares in doubtful schemes, few of hich ever came to anything. Mnny of the states on the ether side had enacted legislation to protect the public in this resptet. ��nd he theught the Kelowna Beard of Trade would do well to make a start in a similar direction by appointing a committee as suggrstrd. Mr. Pooley and Mr. W. Benson invited the attention of the Board to a publicity scheme which promised to be of great benefit to the city. A prominent German journal with a large circulation was planning the issue of a special Canadian number. The taking ol a page in this issue for an illustrated write-up would carry wilh it the valuable privilege of having Kelowna included in the itinerary ot a party of seventy influential German business men who were making a tour of the west in the spring1. The cost of a page would be $500 the companies in town bearing l.atf the expense, and the Boaid of Trade the other half. A resolution was adopted that subject to the approval of the publicity committee the Board would bear half of the cost. Mr. A. R. Pooley brought up the advisability of appointing a publicity commissioner, who could take care of tbe interests of the city in the matter of advertising, and use money appropriated for that purpose to the best advantage. Mr. R. B. Kerr heartily supported the idea. A great many places, he said, were doing this at the present time, not only the bigger towns but the smaller places too, and were finding it to answer extremely well. The future of Kelowna largely depended upon getting induslr ea to locate here, and the proper way to do it was to have a publicity specialist who would go after th-ae things. He instanced Mooaij.iw which had lately secured one of the largest automobile plants in the country solely through the activities of their publicity specialist. Mr. DuMriulin said he had brought the matter up two y, ars ago but had received no support. He hoped thai now the suggetlion would be taken seriously, and definite action taken. He proposed tfiat a committee be appointed to go into the matter at once. 1 he motion carried and the committee appointed were Mr. D. Leckie, Dr. Dickson, and Mr. P. DuMoulin. New Long-distance Wires The Okanagan Telephone Co. announce the completion of th.ee new metallic circuits between Kelowna and Vernon. The importance of this improvement will he seen from the fact that now three conversations can be carried on between the two places at one time instead of only one as hrre- tofore. These wires will be devoted exclusively to telephone business. A great deal of the vexatious delays in getting long distance connectionswill thus be eliminated. The company also expect to give service over their own lines south so far as Summerland by December I Dili, and to Penticton by January Ist. The re-organizing of the local system is now very nearly completed and ia being rushed ahead as fast as the arrival of material and equipment will petmit.

B.A , Educational Secretary of the British Columbia Conference, preached in the Methodist church last Sunday morning. It was the first appearance of the secretary in the local Methodist pulpit and he made a very fine impression. His appeal for the annual contribution for the maintainance of Columbian College, New Westminster, evoked a hearty response. Kelowna contributes two hundred and sixty dollars this year. On Sunday evening the Rev Dr. Chown, General Superintendent of the Methodist Church in Canada, preached to a large congregation. He chose as the theme of his discourse. Th* RiVe ns a Modern Univeiaity," and in a most happy vein showed how the various books of the Bible correspond to the work pursued in the various departments of a well-organized modern university.. The sermon was a strong appeal and charming plea for more careful study of the Word of God. On Monday evening Dr. Chown and Mr. Stapleford addressed a oitblic gathering in the church. Mr. Stapleford told the story of the steps which had been taken fori the establishment of Ryerson College, the new Theological Co'lege of the Methodist church. Thecol-j lege is to be built on a five acre | site on the grounds of the Provin-f cial University at Point Grey. The; site has been presented to the: church by the provincial govern-: ment and the college building will involve an initial expenditure of $200,000. A further sum of $100.- 000 is being raised as the nucleus of an Endowment Fund. Kelowna Methodists have contributed $10,000 towards the project. Dr. Chown, who is one of the very foremost of Canadian churchmen and a very effective platform speaker, in beginning his address told many witty stories and amusing anecdotes illusrating the differences between eastern and western Canada. The confidence, resourcefulness and Christian spirit of the west, have strongly appealed to the doctor. The speaker urged that one of the most important duties of the Christian churches of the Dominion is the ennobling of the ideals of citizenship held by the polyglot population which is pouring into the country. He expressed himself aa being strongly in favor of Chun h Union and emphasized the importance of education. Methodism has in all the years of her past occupied a foremost place among the Churches. The Methodist church organized the first institution for higher education in Canada, British Columbia Methodism hopes to make Ryerson College a character-forming institution. It is expected that Columbian College, at New Westminster, will in the near future, be put upon a much stronger financial basis. There are I 70 students in attendance this year. 20th Century Shoe Repairing Shop BERNARD AVENUE All Kinds of Boots and Shoes Repaired Promptly Ladies' and Gents' Rubher Heels of the Best Makes A. G.

Merlin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture a distribution of superior sorts of grain and potatoes will be made during the coming winter and spring to Canadian farmers. The samples for general distribution will consist of spring wheat (S lbs), white oats (4 lbs.), barley (5 lbs.), and field peas (5 lbs.). These will be sent out from Ottawa. A distribution of potatoes (in 3 Ib samples) will be carried on from several ol the experimental farms, the Central Farm at Ottawa supplying only the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. All samples will be sent free, by mail. Applicants must give particulars in regard to the soil on their farms, and some account of their experience with such kinds of grain or potatoes, as they have grown, so that a promising sort for their conditions may be selected. Each application must be separate and must be signed by the applicant. Only one sample of grain and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm. Applications on any kind of printed form cannot be accepted. If two or more samples are asked for in the same letter only one will be sent. As the supply of seed is limited farmers are advised to apply early; but the applications will not necessarily be filled in the exact order in which they are received. Preference will always be given to the most thoughtful urd explicit re. quests. Applications received after the end of January will probably be too late. All applications for grain should be addressed to the Dominion Cerealist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Such applications require no postage. If otherwise addressed delay and disappointment may occur. Applications for potatoes should be addressed (postage prepaid) to the superintendent of the nearest branch experimental farm in the province.

DREAMLAND THURSDAY, Nov. 28 ONE NIGHT ONLY Homer's Odyssey The most remarkable three-reel feature film / sensation ever produced Magnificent Scenery and Acting 1,000 People in Cast ������___________________________________- Sensational Trick Photography Adults, 25c.; Children, 10c. First show at 7 p.m. Boy Scouts (loo lata (or laat weak'. i..u.) Tbe local troop of Boy Scouts was inspected on Wednesday, November 6th, at camp headquarters between Pendozi and Abbott Streets, by the Rev. the Hon. T. R. Heneage, of Victoria, secretary to the B.C. Provincial Council. The inspection took a somewhat novel form for on arrival at the parade ground not a scout was to be seen, but this only testifies to the unostentatious methods adopted by the organizer, Sir R. S. S. Baden Powell. Rain, which had done its best to damp the cheery effect of the camp fire, held off, and a confluga- tion - afforded ample light and warmth to all present. The assembled spectators were beginning to think the whole thing a hoax when, in response to the scoutmaster's whistle, two patrols of boys appeared from places of concealment yelling and uttering weird patrol calls into the blsze of firelight, and at a given signal,halted and became silent. The scoutmaster, Mr. B. G. Meyrick, then put the troop through the various formations of drill peculiar to Boy Scouts after which " sit at ease " was given while various members were called up for individual inspection, the inspecting officer expressing himself surprised at the excellent physique and general appearance of the boys considering their age (under fourteen). . The set piece of the evening then took place in the form of parade fire-lighting. Each patrol having secured from its hiding- place a supply of kindling, the order " Light fires, double" waa given, and in an incredibly short space of time each group was seated round it own camp fire, with a tripod of scout poles erected and a billy-can ot water preparing to boil. Soon the order " Fires out " was given and all set to work to stamp out the fires, take down the tripods, and in three minutes the troop was in line ready to move off with no more trace of their presence than a couple of charred spots on the grass. The Rev. Hon. T. R. Heneage then addressed the boys, emphasizing his approval of their smartness and discipline and wished them every success. They were practically at the commencement of their scouting career and he hoped that at his next visit he would see many more in the troop maintaining the same standard of efficiency. He also emphasized the urgent need of an assistant scoutmaster to insure continuity of instruction, and hoped that one would soon be forthcoming. He concluded by advising them to keep in mind the reason of holding up the three fingers in making the scouts' salute, namely, honor God snd the king, help others, and obey the scout law. Three cheers were then given for the visitor, led by Scout master Meyrick, and the proceedinga were brought to a hasty close by a shower which incidentally gave opportune assistance in extinguishing the camp-fire. Those present included Mr. J. F. Burne and Mr. E. Lord, respectively president and secretary of the Boy Scouts local association, and many others. The troop at present consists of seventeen boys in two patrols under Patrol Leaders A. DuMoulin and F. Buck, control having been recently assumed by Mr. B. G. Meyrick who has had two years previous experience in the Old Country, where he was present laat year at the great Coronation Rally at Windsor Castle of over thiity thousand scouts from all parts of the world. It seems likely that an epidemic of cholera will do more than all the agitations of peacemakers to stop the war between Turkey and the Balkan States. The Turkish soldiers are dying off in thousands, and the epidemic is also stopping the Bulgarian advance. Don't wasta your money buying atrangth. ening plasters.
