Mission Creek Power _j ^Scheme up Again Proposal Made to City Council Civic Clean-up Day -- Street Sprinkling Discussed . The council met last Friday morning . in regular meeting and several important matters of business were dealt with. A complaint was first heard from Mr. Moses Leslie, who stated that he had spent a considerable sum of money in laying out his land on Ellis street north as a market garden, and the irrigation water had been cut off by the oity in making new' streets This had not only reduced the value of his property but had occasioned him_muoh loss. He therefore askeil the council to rebate the arrears oi taxes against the lots, and also to either repair the flirmes or exempt him from further taxation. Alderman Copeland denied that the flumes had been removed at the order of the city, and if they had been disturbed it was without thoir authority. It was explained to Mr. Leslie that the irrigation system was not owned by the oity, and he was shown a letter from the Provincial Water flights, engineer ordering the system closed until- certain repairs had been made. The city was,only rcBponsiblo for tho flume whero it crossed the streets, and Hr. Leslie was promised that if the water users would put the avst of the system in order the oity would repair any break's which had been made for road construction. The counoil, however, had no power to crant any rebate of taxes, but if Mr. Leslie considerod ho was over-assessed ho should appeal to tho noxt court of revision. A communication wns received from' Mr. Wilbio, distriot omrineor for iho department of marine nnd fishorios, regarding the lights for tho assistance of shinning to Ire placed on Knox Point, And other noints on tho lake, nnd asked ns to tho progress of the nol e line to Knox Point and tho rates to be charged.

C. Gentlemen.���We proposo taking steps to build a waterpowor plant on the Mission Creek, and to that end we are now endeavoring to complete finanoial arrangements to. havo the work started early this summer to complete if nossiblo the plant for operation in thc fall; We took up with lasl year's oounoil tho matter of arranging a contract for the sale of power ato the oity of Kelowna at aboiit 2J cents per kilowat hour, with a scale of roduotions depending upon the. amount ��� ol power taken. The amount of power orobably rn- nuired by the oitv should be about 400,000 kilowat hours, for the lighting service and about 300,000 kilowat hours for pumping, basing our estimates upon the power required 'for Kamlooos and Vernon. "* The plant will have an initial development of 1,000 horse nower, and this should amply serve the requirements War Tax Stamps on Letters and Postcards ' WAR STAMPS MUST BE USED AFTER APRIL 15TH A war tax of ono oent haa been imposed on each letter and post card mailed ia Canada for delivery in Canada, the United States or Mexico, and on each letter mailed in Canada for delivery in the United kingdom and and British possessions generally, j.nd wherever the two oent rate applies, to become effective on and from tliu 15th day ol April, 1915. This war tax is to be prepaid by the senders by means of a war stamp for sale by postmasters and other postage stump vendors. tyherwer possible, stamps on which the words "War Tax" have been printed should be used for prepayment of the war tax, but should ordinary postage stamns be used for this pur pose, they will be accepted. ~ This war stamp or additional stamp for war purposes should be affixed to the. unner right hand portion of the address side of the envelope or post card, close to the regular postage so that it may be readily cancelled at tho same time as the pontage. Tn the event of failure on the part of the sender through oversight or negligence to prepay the waT tax on each letter or post card specified, such a letter or postcard will be sent immediately to the noarest branch dead letter office. It is essential that postage on all classes of mail matter should be prepaid by means of ordinary postage stamps. Tho war tax stamp will bot bo adopted in any case for tho prepayment of postage.

By a majority of 13 to In.the an* nual meeting of the Okanagan United Growers, which concluded its session last Thursday at Vernon, derided against the reappointment of Manager liobertson. ! Strong opposition to him was raised by representatives of Penticton, Kej lowna and Coldstream, the dccUra- | tion being made that the unions at these three fruit centres would leave tho Central if the manager's servioes . were retained. It was this opposition ' which led to a majority report being j oast against Mr. Robertson, | Mr. Robertson was strongly supported, by Peachland, Summerland, Arm- strong. Enderby and Salmon Arm. Very strong expressions of confidence . and approval in him were voiced by many speakers, while even those who ] voted for the motion appeared, in most cascB, to do so with reluctance, , but feared that any other course would result in disruption of the Association. Prior to the voting Manager llob- . ortson stated that in view of the feel- I ing against him in the various points mentioned he could not see his way clear to remaining with the Central, no matter what the actual vote on the resolution might be. It is understood that in view of the probable result of the voting a number of applications have been received by the directors for the position thus rendered vacant, amongst them being Mr. Thos. Lawson, formerly of Kelowna, but it will no doubt be some little time before a decision is arrived at. In the meantime Mr, Robertson has agreed to remain in charge for two months. The new officers' elected for tho year wore as follows: President.���F. V, Nicholson, Salmon Arm. Vice President, ���P. Mutrie, Vernon. Executive.���President and Vice President, with J. E. Reekie, Kolowna, O. T. C. White, Summerland, Mr. Cuth- bert, Armstrong, and F. B. Cossitt, Vernon.

Of this total 975 oars wero straight carload lots, the balance 104.1 ears being made up of loss than carload lots and express shipments.

CHANGE OF POLICY A meeting of the growers is "We Must Smash - TtajMne" Is Battle Cry of Liberal Speak- era at Monday's Rally Tho cost of handling for 1914 was'uast season. being held tonight at Rutland undor the auspices of the Kelowna Growers' Exchange to discuss certain changes in the policy of the Central which were decided upon at the annual meeting in Vernon last week. In a circular addressed to the shareholders locally the new policy is summarized as follows, and the objects of the meeting Btated brieflv: 1. The Central Board has decided to place its own agents in Calgary, Regina and Vancouver, with an office for three months in Edmonton. These agents will primarily be- occupied with selling what we havo to offer, but it is hoped that the cost of these agencies will be materially reduced by instructing these agents to sell on commission other goods that are required by tho market and we are unable ourselves to supply. 2. To consider carefully any offer that may be made to purchase the whole, or any part, of our crop at a fixed price. 3. To give to the locals, day by day, during the shipping; season, a report of the average prices at which fruit and produce has been sold on the preceding day, and also, that the Central Manager* be instructed that he is not to sell any commodity of any kind below a fixed minimum price that will give a small return to the grower, without the knowledge and consent of the local, and through the pVtcal, of the grower. 4. That the expense of management in the Central Selling Agency be reduced to ��� the lowest possible minimum consistent with efficiency. Estimated on the basis of last year's charges the directors have in sight a saving of 810,000, but, it must be remembered that a new and untried system of -selling is to be adopted, and that, although every effort be made to secure an economical distribution, an exact estimate of the cost of this is at present not possible. 5.' A change will be made in the general manager, but a new anointment cannot be made until there has been time for full investigation of the ca- nacity and reliability of the candi-j dates. 6. A considerable reduction in Kind ling charges will bo effected during the coming season bv the adoption of cheanor packages, and possibly by arranging for tho packing of some ii m- modities in the orchard by the grower himself, provided that growers give equal, or better support than in tho A large and mixed fathering assembled in the Opera House Mondav evening at the Liberal rally to hear the speeches from Mr. L. V. Rogers, the Liberal candidate for the district, and from Pr. McDonald of Vernon, .who is running in the Liberal interest in the northern portion of the Okanagan. Alderman D. W. Sutherland presided. Mr, Rogers who was the first speaker, has an undoubted fluency of oratory, and indulged to the full his gift for cynical criticism, bitter invective, and merciless witticism, sparing none, from the leaders of the government down to its humblest supporter, in the violence of his condemnation. His address though savoring somewhat of the immortal Buzfuz, who brought tears to the eyes of the jury in his denunciation of the villain Pickwick, was freely applauded at intervals by his Liberal supporters, who had apparently turned out in full force. The sincerity of hiB demand for clean and wholesome government could not of course but meet with approval from every right-thinking per? son, to whatever party he may claim allegiance. As a tribute no doubt to the large number of ladies who were present he prefaced his remarks with a declaration of his views on the question of Woman Suffrage. He had always believed in the principle of extending the vote to women, and he saw no reason why they should not be given the franchise. One of the first things Mr. Brewster would do when he waB called upon to form a new government was to bring in a Women Suffrage Bill. As an example of the hasty, ininui- tous, and tyrannical legislation of the present government he cited the Game Laws Act, which gave the hunter privilege to shoot three deer of one species and one of another. He might kill .theso on the last day of the open season, but in that case he would have to eat them almost aB fast as he had shot them, or lay himself open to a fine. also for tho district outside of the oity. within ten miles of tho plant. Will von kindly send us all tho particulars you can on tho power requirements, and the time and nature of a contract tho oity may wish to make with the' proposed power company a*nd the amount of nower required as vou Bee it, assuming also that the lowor cost of your power in this way will increase tho demand over present requirements. When taking this mattor up with the city before on behalf of tho several Civic Clean-Up DajNext Thursday Council Declare Day a Public Holiday ��� Gives Citizens i Chance to Make Kelowna a Clean City Next Thursday Kelowna will hold high carnival with tho rake and the broom, for that day has been set apart by tho counoil for a general clean-up. Every citizen who has a baok yard where rubbish lurks in untidy and unhealthy disorder will arise with the dawn, don his ovoralls, and enlisting the aid' of tho rest of the family, will rake and sweep and burn, until all the accumulated rubbish of months has boen cleaned up. On tho following day, teams hired by the oity will come around aud gather up that whioh oould not be burned and remove it to tho nuisanoe ground. If tho work is properly done, as it would be if every citizen would realize tho great importance of it to himself und everyone in the city, then Kelowna will in a few days be able to meet the ooming of springtime v it h olean face and a healthy smile. Let us hope that no one will shirk his duty but face the task in the riirht spirit, and an enthusiastic determination to make a crood job of it. Few people are over-burdened wilh work at the present moment and that is all the more reason why every one should turn in and make a success of tho soheme. There should not be an empty can to be seon in all Kelowna aftor the teams have paid their visit.' Briefly the idea of the council is that each householder should spend the day in a t borough clean-up of his lot, burning up all weeds and refuse which is oanablo of being burned, and irat towing tho rest into a convenient pile in a place easily accessible to the gatherers who will cume around on the following day. ' These teams will be paid by the counoil, but it will be the duty of every householder to see that their work is facilitated in every possible way. Following the oleanun, an inspection will be made by tho notice, and those who wilfully neglect to have the garbage removed will bo liable to a fine. Vacant lots present a more or less difficult problem, but it has been decided to serve notice on all owners of vacant lots to clean-up or the council will send in men for the numose and charge up tho cost against the owner. fOoatmstd hPniII A great victory for Russian arms in the Carpathians over a monster foroe of Austro-Germnns, was reported in despatches reoeived this week. Tho battle was declared to have been ono of tho bloodiest of the war. It started Saturday and extended over a front beginning at DuklaiPass and ending at Experics, in Hungary. Tho despatches announced that tho Teutons lost 15,000 men alone in Sunday's fighting. Two German submarines were destroyed and a third was badlv damag. ed in the raid on tho German naval base at Hoboken, Belgium, bv allied aviators on March 26, the war office announced. The shJnvardi were gutted by a firo caused by .the explosion of bombs dropped by aviator*/, the statement ' declared, which inflicted the heaviest damage. Forty Gorman work men were killed and sixty-two were woundodr- This point was rather inconvincing, as he did not explain how it would be possible to close the season for deer without making it illegal to have deer in possession after a prescribed time. The recent Agricultural Act was con- i demned on account of the inclusion of a clause which prohibited shareholders in a co-operative association who were not actual shippers from voting at its \ meetings. Ho contended that government road work was given out only to government supporters for the purpose of catching votes, and in support of this related the case of an Italian at Revelstoke, who because he went to a Liberal meeting to consult his doctor, who happened to be tjjere, was fired from the road gang. Sarcastic references were made to the promises of Sir Richard McBride, regarding the Canadian Northern line to Kelowna, and he attacked vigorously the principle of guaranteeing the bonds of the main line, though not opposed to the giving of such assistance for the construction of branch lines. Government extravagance had emptied the treasury, the resources of the province had been frittered away and the lands whioh should be available for the settler had been alienated and allowed to fall into the hands of the speculator. Tho Agricultural Aid Bill he denounc ed as a fake, and a little inconsistently perhaps, as a death-bed repentance on the part of tho government. He, was not opposed to the principles of the bill, but there was a nipper in thc fence, nnd he would direct the attention of his audience to section 56, which ho read. This section, as is customary in mortgage agreements for the protection of tho lender, rrnve the government, in case of default or improper use of the money loaned power to retain the balance of the money or to take possession of the property. He admitted that the government should take proper precautions in tho granting of aid, but ho did not agree that a man should be forced to surrendor his property without being rrivon an opportunity to state his side of the case. Such a course was against all principles of British justice. 'J be clause had been put there to make it prohibitive for the settler to take advantage of the Aot, as he would always have before him the bogie of being closed out. He was' also opposed to the bill because it would not be administered by a non-pnrtizan oommittee, und would consequently be used as a lever to buy votes. In any caso be did not believe tbe Act would be put into operation, and quoted from a speech of t be Attorney-General who had stated that the government could not borrow the money at the present time. The bill was nothing but a promise, designed to "draw a red herring across the trail ol the nefarious stench of the infamous and tyrannical McBride government." The Workmen's Compensation Act he declared had been stolen from the Liberal platform, and after being introduced had been laid on the table to await another session. In conclusion, he said the timo had como to throw off the shackles. Koi- serism and Bowserism must (all in 1915. The discontent prevalent at the present time could onl" lead to anarchy and revolution. "We must smash the machine!" Dr. McDonald who followed Mr. Rogers covered a wide range o( subjects, and though he added several more to the "charges" against the government threw no further light upon what his party proposed to substitute. In fact he went so far as to state that if the Liberals were to be returned to power with the same preponderance as the Conservatives have now, they would be just as bad. __ He dealt at considerable length with the promised railway through the Okanagan, of which in spite of Mc- Bride's promises, no sod had <-et been turned, and he annarently did not believe it ever would, notwithstanding that the company had already purchased the right-of-way. He was not opposed to the bonusing of branch lines, but strongly objected to this being done with main lines. To hasten the construction of the railway he , stated that the Liberal government would take over the C.N.R., and construct and operate the line for the people. A Bong by Mr. Geo. McKenzie followed Mr. McDonald's address, after which contrary to what might have been expected after what was said regarding the absence of Mayor Jones from the platform, the meeting was abruptly closed without an" opportunity being given for questions. Daring Hold-up af Enderby The Okanagan Telephone Company's office at Enderby was the scene of a daring hold up between 10.30 and 11 o'clock last Wednesday. The telephone operator, Sid Laughlin waB gagged and bound hand and foot and the thieves then went through the premises, taking 312.40. Laughlin got a good look at one man before being laid out. The police have been notified in all directions but no arrests have been made up to the present. Mr. W. H. Fleming returned last Friday from a visit to tho prairie. J. W. Woolsey and family left this week for Calgary. Capt. Bertram left this morning on a visit to Vancouver. Cyril Parker left by Wednesday's boat on his way to the old country. a passenger R. L. Gore-Brown was Wednesday for England. Dr. Rutherford of the Dominion live Stock branch was in town this week for a short visit. Tho sale of shares for the new creamery has met with almost bettor response than could have.beon expected during the present stringency, und the first allotment of 35 shares, necessary to make a start has now bron disposed of. Arrangements will therefore bo under way almost immediately for the installing of the plant and the preparation of the promises. The directors are already negotiating for the services of an experienced b��1ter maker, and a definite p����--"in-jem -nt should be made to the farmers in a very short time. tS\et*^im*lt4msitmms\^^mmsimmmurmW CD Corporation of the City of Kelowna CIVIC HOLIDAY NOTICE is hereby given that the Municipal Council has declared Thursday, April I Sth, a Civic Holiday, to enable all owners and occupants of property to assist in a GENERAL CLEANING-UP OF THE CITY.

This of oourse is a step in tho right direction, und one which it is to bo hoped will receive every poseiD'u support und cooperation.' It is till very well for the council to declurc u clean-up dny, but unless the citizens themselves enter into thc spirit of the thins, und devote the duy enthusiastically to the use intended not much will be accomplished. With tho approach of warm weather the necessity for getting rid of the past few months' accumulations of uarbage and rubbish becomes more insistent. Think of tho millions of flics which aro already beginning to hatch out of the heaps of filth. A thorough cloau-up ut the present time would do wonders in lesseniug the fly nuis- nnco for the whole year. Then put on your overulls noxt Thursday und get out your rake and broom and see that nothing in thc nature of rubbish is left around the place. Burn what can be burned���but havo a care in doing it, so you don't burn the house down���and put the rest in a convenient pile ready for the city teams the noxt day. This general clean-up of courBc good as it might bo if properly carried out does not dispose of tho i ucstion of keeping clean, and wo are still of the opinion thnt u form of regular garbage collection modified perhaps to suit the hard times, when nn<- considerable addition to tuxes would be unwelcome, might be devised, which would inflict no hardship unon anyone, and would ensure a clean city all the year round. Britain's Answer to German Protest A German protost and threat of reprisals on account of treatment by Ureat Britain of tho prisoners taken on board German submarines was made public Friday. This protest was transmitted by Germany to Groat Britain through the Unitod States The reply of Great Britain also was made public. The German government, ',n itB protest, asked whether Great Britain intended to accord loss favorable treatment to captured German sub marine crews than to other war prisoners, ond if so what form thiB discrimination would take. Germany stated that if Great Britain adoptod such a oourse, a British army ofllcor held prisoner in Germany wtaialrl ceive corresponding harsher treatment for each member of a oaptutctl Get- man submarine crew. The foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, in his rcplv. said that the prisoners from German submarines had boen placed in naval detention barracks and sejfre gated from other war prisoners, but were being treated humanely t.ntl per mitted to take exercise. Furthermore the foreign secretary said, Geri'aun prisoners in Britain, are better fed and clothed than are British prisoners of equal rank in Germany and Ihe Germans are not subjected lo fol'ced labor. As the submarine orews hnvo been engaged in sinking neutral ui'"',*'unt ���hips and unarmed British vet*el��, Sir Edward said, thoy would i>ot be regarded as honorable opponents, but were "offenders against the law of nations and common humanity;'' The foreign secretary said tivjt 1000 officers and men ol the German ruvv had been rescued during the War. lint that none from the British tmv.' had been rescued by the Germans. How ever, he made no suggestions for e change. The postmaster-general of Groat Britain has sent out communte.il'nns to different citiis of British Columbia calling for tenders to supply telephone poles to a number of portB in England. Light, ? indium unJ heavy Doles are asked for, ranging in height from 18 to 80 feet, the total amount requires b'lng 95,410 polos Information to thia effect has been received by the secretary of tho Vancouver board of trade. MEETING OF CITY COUNCIL (Continued from Pan 1.1 irrigation companies interested but inuro particularly the Belgo-Canadian wo understood that tho city would pro- fer to have the plant built by a company und buy power in bulk from the company rather than build the plant ua a munioipal venture, but your mayor and tho committee expressed (front interest in the project und thought that tho city would co-operate by moral support ub it wero and arrango say a ten year contract for power. May wc ask thoroforo that you give us what information you can in regard to your own roquircmouta, in order that your letter on this point will usHist us in financing tho scheme. It is probable also that our Mr. McLean will go to Kclowna in tho near future to go into matters personally. Yours sincerely, DuCano, Dutcher k (<o. Alderman Adams reported that the Light and Wator committeo had dis- Gutted the matter with n representative of Messrs. DuCane, Dutcher A: Co. but nothing very definite was arrived at. Messrs. Oohan, Martin & Co., were reannointcd auditors for another year at a salary of $250, quarterly audits to bo made. Alderman Duggan roported that thero were a number of dead trees along the Htrcots which needed replacing at onco, and authority was given to the Parks committeo to boo to this. KTKKET SPMNKLING An application for work on the street sprinkler brought up tho question of streot watering for tho yoar. Alderm;in Raymer mado a,,suggestion that the work bo divided bo that one man did not get the whole thing. His idea was that each team could be given a period of say two weeks. On further discussion however it was deckled to call for tenders in tho regular way. Alderman Sutherland suggested that the sprinkling.be confined to the business part of tho town as a number of people had objected to it laBt year. Alderman Copeland, howover, objected to this, as ho said it would be economy for tho city to have the streets watered even if the council had to pay part of the expense out of the general revenue. Watering was very necessary for the preserving of tho streets, otherwise thov would powder up when dry and lay bare the road material, soon resulting in a good deal of damage. Mayor Jones montioned that the ownecs of tho block south of (ilenn avenue between Richter street and Ethel street were anxious to go ahead with tho opening of the new street which had been discussed some months ago. To do this it was necessary to move a house belonging to Mr. Todd on Richter street und also to purchase .IU feet of his property. The cost of course would bo levied against the owners interested. Mr. Todd had agreed to accept 82300, $300 in cash which the property owner's themselves had undertaken to raise. The matter was, however, held over for tho presenting of a ncw petition from tho owners. Aldormnn Raymer asked what tho council proposed to do in regard to the removal of garbage, a matter which had been discussed a month atro. Alderman Rattenbury said the committee had not yet made any arrangement. Aldcpman Adams who is also a membor of tho health committee suggested n clean-up day. A general holidav could be proclaimed and every body iriven an opportunity to rake up their accumulations of rubbish ready for removal tho following day by teams. There was a difficulty in regard to vacant lots but ho thought the city should notify owners of such lots to clean up, nnd if <'��� failed to do so the council could have the work dono and charge it up against them. It wub eventually decided to Opelai'O tho whole day, Thursday, April 15th a civic holiday for clean-up nurposos and tho Health Committee were charged with tho duty of looking after any arrangements which might bo ncces sary. Alderman Ruttonbury brought up again the question of cheaper watoi for irrigation of gardens. Alderman Adams on behalf of the Wator and Light oommittee stated that the committee had discu^c! the porpoHnl but did in t nea hov itf/uld be dono. Tho pumps wore not of t=uf- liciont capacity to provide for more than a very fow acres. A suggestion was mado that the city be divided into districts and water supplied to oach on different days, but the scheme was not considered practicable and was oventually dropped. Tho city clerk announced that the assessment roll for the year had beon roturned and arrangements wore made for the holding of a eourt of revision on Wednesday, May 19th. A number of old local improvement by-laws, numbered from 174 to 188, to which samo technical objection had boen raised by tho Inspector of Muni- oipalitiris wero reintroduced in amended form, and given a first, second and third readings. The following list of accounts were passed for payment: , Goldio & MoCulloch Co. final payment on engine etc. for power house $1240.75 P. E. Corby, plumbing inspectors fee ' 2.50 Park payroll, March 15 to 18 8.10 C.P.R., freight 3.49 H. Harrison, electric line work 6.00 F. Davis, general work 1>05 0. Markham, care of offices and police quarters during February 17.75 G. H. E. Hudson k Co., blue prints of water intake pines . 2,20 Canadian General Klectric Co. payment on new electric unit 945.94 The meeting then adjourned until Friday, April 16th, Wooden Cross at Every Grave Over six hundr'/d cases of supplies left tho head office of the Canadian Red Cross Societ.* recently. Thus oven the last record has been broken uud tlio largest shipment in tho history of tho society has loft for London, England. This enormous shipment consists of 61 eases from London, ' Ont.; 31 from Calgary. 525 from Regina; 12 from Cobalt and 10 from Hamilton. This also includes 1,000 doses of antitetanus serum. Although this amount of supplios sent from Canada Bounds vory large, it is Impossible to exaggerate the great and immediate needs of tho society both in tho matter of monoy and material. Tho Bocioty hope in the near future to send no less than 1,000 cases in one shipment. The British Red Cross Sooiety is endeavoring, among the many other branches of itB work, to mark the graves of the gallant "British soldiers who hnve laid down their lives for the cause of tho Empire and tne freedom of Europe. Wherever possible a wooden cross is erected and tho name nnd regiment of the dead warrior is marked unon it. By this moans the relatives of the soldiers ��� Jiod will not only know that they have had a Christian burial but will be able to visit their graves after the close of the war. In ordor to show how splendidly tho people of Canada nre working for the soldiers the following facts will be of iutorosta Up to December 31st last, 3,548 cases wero shinned from the head ollicu of tho Canadian lied Cross Society in Toronto and from that date to February '-!<>tli no less than 2,537 cases, havo been shipped. Thus almost as many packages huve been shipped during the past two months as were sent during the previous four months, It is hardly necessary to add that an enormous quantity is still needed. Among the supplies sent to the Hod Cross Society from the Regent Dean Sargent Chapter of the I.O.D.E. Oji'Appelle, Sask., were nearly one dozen pairs of socks which were knitted by the Indian women on J'as- quas reserve. These women are working most faithfully for the soldiers and havo asked to ho kopt busy all tho time. From the Tillsouburg branch 28S tins of condensed milk have boon received. This is a very welcome gift as aro all concentrated foods, such as Oxo, Bovril, etc. Sinco tho Canadian Red Cfoss So- cioty undertook to increase tho accommodation at the Duchess of Connaught hospital at Cliveden, Taplow, England, from 150 beds to at least 500 beds, a largo number of enquiries havo been received at the head ollice of the society. Tho society desires to point out that the sum of fifty dollars will provide ono bed und contributions for this specif io purpose will l>e welcomed. All the beds thus provided will have iho name of the individual or society who may donate them nlaced at the head of tho bed. An amusing incident occurred ut the head ollice of the Red Cross Sooioty recently whon oight packages arrived all carefully marked, "To bo sterilized," and they were sent ut onoe to tho general hospital without being opened. Thoy arrived back at ihe cf- ficos of the society in a remarkably short spaco of time with the following inscription on them, "Not f.t for sterilization." Tho oHicials of the society fathered round thoso mvsterious nackagee while thoy wore ���"������-ened and the enigma was solved. Upon opening them thev were found to contain socks and cholera bolts. It is hardly necessary to add that socks, whioh havo not been uued, aro not sterilized, Only surgical supplies Bent to tho society havo to undergo that operation. Colonol Ryerson, president of tho Canadian Red Cross Socioty, has received a letter horn Cioneral the flight Hon. the Earl of Dundonald, in which tho distinguished cavalry leader S'lys that ho has already lost thrno f*f his family who have been killed in action in the present war, including Captain Denzil Newton, the callnnt officer iv)i was killed whilo serving with the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry, Ceneral Dundonald says in Ms latter; "The medical department has coverod itself with glory Un Ire war not only in the heavy toll cf ifeatu nt the front but in the sucoais of its efforts to mitigate the suffvings of the mon."

H." H.~ H"lJie'"ai' a recent convention ol the'W.C.T.U. It will be recalled that when tho ill- fated Tftario of impressive memory waa sinking, tha wireless operator sent out the signal S.O.S., which means, "Save our Ship," thoae unfortunate people could not be rescued by the Catpathia simply Bending forth a wireless message worded "Cheer up". It was neoessary, that the Cunarder change it*"oonr��e'��nd bear down upon the scone oi the awful wreck, if any rescue work was to be accomplished. "Save our Children" is the call constantly sounding in 'the ears of the parents of Canada today; so alarmed by conditions and impressed by need for action, we.have swung from .the extreme of silence to the extreme of plain speech. , 1 feel more confnlint than evef tnatf "the way to rear pure men and pure women is to elevate the' moral atmosphere of the street. Is there any.hope 'or children when there are saloon's and gambling dens on the corners of the Streets? We mothers may make the home clean, but what of the children when they pass over the threshold into the street. This is the cause of the ' unrest of mothers; they eo down into the Valley of the Shadow of" Death to bring children into this world. They, feel that the men of our land cannot make conditions better without their help; that all should work -i'rSgstKer towards this end. I think that we will all agree that ignorance ' is a great handicap and that knowledge is a blessing, re do not lei us shirk the responsibility of answering aright the child's questions lest, we leave him subjeot to the very worst 'influences. Remember that though your children may have reoeived the proper homo gaining and therefore may not need This instruction at school and elss- wheie;yat-thephiymates, vour neighbor's child, or the ohildren Irom another part of the town may be in pitiful need of wise and pure teaching. 1 feel that we parents very often think that the children's questions are not very important, but there we make a grave mistake. Remember that whei. a child asks a question his attention for the moment is perfect and concentration is to the mental development what obedience is to the moral; also that as the child's mind is inclined todav so will tho character of the. man be formed tomorrow. Therefore to the best of our ability let us answer all questions and in this way gain the confidence of our children, and provide for them that culture in moral habit, wholesome activities and pure interests' which will make them good men and women; reverent toward God, docile to the real teach ings of experience, and in love with everything beautiful and true. ' The youth of Canada inherits' the richest discoveries, inventions, science, culture; religion and wiwiajm of the ages.' 'These treasures art not only free but ' he is compelled to ileum them. Our boy or girl is like the foreigner in America who wrote to, Mb friends across' the water, "They not only let you vote here but they pay you for doing it." If the youth is trained to fear and avoid, to hate and abominate all forms of evil, if he is introduced to the power of knowledge, the peaoe of a clear conscience, if ho keeps his rod blood pure from the contamination of vice, alcohol, tobacco and drugs; if he is taught to guard his life against polution. and weakness, by thinking pure, high, noble, inspiring thoughts; if he keeps good company, and knows God ond His word, what a chance the twentieth, century offers the rising gei:< ration. Kings and Queens never inherited such opportunity and privilege. Philosophers never dreamed of ��uch wealth of wisdom and knowledge We have learned by experience that as we journey through life we travel some very dangorous roads, and that any one of us waa liable to havo slipped and fallen if we had not been warned in timo. We remember how by starting out Carefully we got confidence in ourselves as we found out the kind of path we were on. So let us guard carefully the first steps of our children: what they do now will affect their whole life. We want to see them start off well, get a firm footing get in good oompany, have a high purpose, stay with .their work, be cheerful and unselfish; we want to see them finish their course happily and successfully. So it is up to us to direct their splendid young strength, by keeping the brain clear, held in check by a resolute will in tune with the'infinite; and then their future will surely be greater and moro wonderful than .all the past.-. Today, more -than ever, we realize that the children in our homes are the future���all the work to which wo give the years of our lives is for that indefinite, uiipercoirfied fai- ture of which our boys and girls arc the present. So we must make no such mistake as selling our wholesome country homes on account of our children, and going whoa-o there tre grond churohen, superior aichoo's. anal lit- tractive libraries���to find ourselvos close to drinking saloons, "ambling dens, dance halls, and indescribable allurements to vice. Is this, better for our boys and girls, or iB the new atmosphere heavy with influences thai are a peril? There are 50 churches in a city ond 1000 saloons. The churches are open one day and two or threo evonings in oach weok. The BaloonB are open every day, all day long, and far into tho night. Lot us arouse ourselvaa to a consideration of the home life attraction and pleasures of our children and in this let us bo of, so careful, as we are considering tho destiny of the nation; the efficiency in an age of the greatest stress under which tha poople of the world havo ever lived. of those' upon whom the burden' of the future must rent. I am going te try to plaoe a picture before yo��; what. I feel the home life of our old and young men should'he. . It was twilight, from, familiar sights within *my home my "eyas turned in- stinotively outward through the window to the dusky shap?s of the growing dark. Truth to tell there was not much to see; houses oh.ofiy scattered houses, then groups of houses,,. and houses in solemn rows. Not even pretentious houses, either, just the humble houses of humble folk, the hard lines softened or broken by the veil of night, or the mystery of the half- darkness. Not the things we see, but the things wo try to see in'land' scape; a picture, a face, help us keep our interest in life, thus the houses which would scarcely have won at lt'ok in broad daylight, held my eyes ver< strangely at twilight. And the lighted windows. Windows like eyes in th* human face, toll much. On this partic ular evening they told th') whereabouts of the tenant. One should not bo too curious or certain of his deductions, but barring exceptions ol course, windows, particularly lighted windows, liko oyos declare where thi inmates livo. In the majority of ths houses within view, their kiti>ons in.il drain? rooms alight, which broke the darkness; supper no doubt; ono could almost imagine one couid hear the rattle of dishes, and the prattle ol children. ��� First I wondered if thoro was grata at table, and were tho parents letting the children see that good cheer should not bo reserved for the banquet board alone, and that over] family meal time should have an ele- mont o! sacred happiness in it. Gating in moderation giving food itsli proper value by taking it slowly; onjaijing the freedom of conversation which belongs to the privacy ot the hopte. should make this hour a special time, whon the best of personal experience! are brought forth for mutual edifioa- cation. Aro these ohildren taught through their parents that the meal time ia a time to smile and look happy, for the dear ones around the homo table; thus creating harmony between the individuals, and radiating good will toward life and all human beings. A little later I looked, and saw hen and there second story windows warm with light; childron were being prepared for bed, and I iancio.i the mother hearing the little ones say their evening prayers, and more than likely aa she tucked thorn in, giving a woi'.l of sympathy, encouragement, or praise for the day. if it has been well spent. Lator in the ovening an entire cot- tago was ablaze with light, a festal night. For once. never mind the light bill, one cannot bo frugal ovcry night in the year. Now tho parents in tl.ip homo believe in lotting thoir boyr and girls havo a han"V time within its walls, with well brod gucstB, knowing that tho children will be quick to detect tho difference between the woll and ill brod. and that tho atmoB- phoro. of n rofined home breathed from tho cradle muBt bring results.

Then I see a home with a light in the sitting room where around the centre table gather the parents and children. Hero good purei English is spoken; the parents not only use good language, but constantly watch the children and wage unoeasing warfare on slang and bad English. In thia homo are good books and papers, and tho children early form the reading habit, and aro encouraged to tell what they have read thus increasing their vocabulary and training them in tbe art of conversation. The parents do not correct thoir children in publio if it cun be avoidod, realizing that if dealt with in private they are not humiliated and thereby made defiant. Gossip and scandal, mean rem-irks about the neighbors, are stopped at onco. Theso parents also realize that gratitude cannot bo taught, it must bo oauglit���aa sympathy comas t. rough Buffering so gratitudo will oomo through servico; and thoy show their appreciation of servico rendered them by tho children, thus making them graciously glnd and more willing. Lastly, but not luaai tlio evening closes with llible reading and the father's voico raised in prayer. In such an atmosphere mains than wc realizo perhaps, manhood and womap- hood are made. Van, by all means tho sitting room. Not to argue the point lot it be suggested that there would be more marrying folks ond less work for tho divorco courts, and moro grateful and obedient children, if thero woro more sitting rooms left on earth, or the spirit of thorn. . Whero are the lights in tho homes whoro thoy speak of respectable amusements, not considering how ideas have changed and that tho world is more liberal in matters of amusement since they were children. Take dancing, card playing, billiards; tho church that once condomned now condones them. Such tolerance has brought about a radical betterment in the character of theso amusements'. Theso narrow-minded parents make a still more s.'r ois mistake when their boy getB to tho ago where he wants to smoke and drink. What do thoy say to him? Isn't it something like this; "Boy, whon you get to be twenty-one you may do as you please, but let me hear of vou smoking or drinking before that and I will punish you in suoh a way that you will remember it all vour life." It may no; be just these words but that, is tho sentiment. Then what follows? Right thon and there tho parent loses the child's confidonce, and the seed of opposition is planted. When tho boy reaches the age of 21 tho parent finds that he has smoked and poBsibly drank for two or three voars. In other words he has deceived his parents and done what they told him was wrong; two crimes have been committed. I will venture tho opinion that this will annly to possibly sixty per cent., or more of men who smoke or drink. Tho parents who think Ihoir boy is not going to try to smoke or drink beforo he is twenty-ono are deceiving themselves and injuring their relations with their ohildren. This applies to the majority of parent* and boys. Parents should know that their boy will pass through those follies with playmates. When the time comes they Bhould explain thia phase of life to him. Tell him that if he must rmoke and drink that you will feel very sorry but to go ahead; then prove to Liu by actual demonstration whnt vicious habits they are. Do not force it cn the boy, but be with him in t'j.dness and confidence as he goes along, ibis takes the stolen sweet Krui-.o out of it, and it ia thia curion.lv s..|���imcnt within us, and the anJ.au fandnejs for the stolen sweet that leads in'o more trouble and Buffering than uuy cinor weakness. That is why it boy will climb a high board fence to look over into a vacant lot. That is why we pay ten cents to go into a fake show; and tho sooner we take our ohildren behind theao high board fences and educate them, the better. Even il the boy gets beyond control and develops an appetite for rum aud tobacco, is it not hotter for the parents to know this, rather than to blind themselves to the fact. But it is almost invariably the case that so long as the parents retain the confidence of tho ohildren theso children are sale. The child whoso time is filled with games and all sorts of active diversions rarely goeB wrong, aB he ia too busy with wholesome fun to ���pare time for unnecessary intrigue. Amusement, congenial amusomeut must be provided; it ia the right of our youth, and the parent who com- bata it wages a losing light with instinct, the same instinct that draws the young of every animal to play, l'lay ia aa essential aa food in lhe normal development of tho child, and though vou mav deny a certain variety of food or amuaement, nature will demand a subatitute. It remains with the parent to Bay whether that substitute ahall be wholeaome or harmful. The parent who is blind to thia fact ia directly responsible whin the ohild, to satisfy the instinu.ivai craving, takes to a course of socravy. for even wholesome pleasure when souured secretly is dangerous. As a mother I fool that all parents should take their children by the hand and wisely and lovingly acquaint them with the laws of nature. Do not let us shirk this moat essential and precious duty. Wo should not let our children go groping about for themselves, to glean from whatever sourco chanoe affords, the knowledge of that subject ao sacred and vital; for if not given by us it will be given by others to sound ugly or beautiful, aB they will. To talk on sexual hygiene to a ohild requires groat tact, anal often very great labor in preparation, but I am confident it will pay the largawt posaible dividends on tho time and effort invested. I am of the opinion that husbands and sons who go to clubs and saloons do' so because thoie plaoes aro more attractive than thoir homos. The question then Ib how lo make the home more attractive.

The powder used by the Germans is quite different. It is made in strips that look like thick tape, They cut it off in the lengths desired and tie it up like bundles of sticks to fit into the breeches of their big guns. A cylinder of the American powder or a strip of the, German may be lighted with a mateh and safely held while it sputters and burns after the manner of a sulphur match. And yet this same military powder is, just now, one ol the most powerful agencies in the world. It is killing thousands every day; is razing the strongest forts that man oan build; and is remaking the map of Europe. In fuot, the fate of the greatest nations of the world today aiuijend upon the comparative ol- fioiency of the hundreds of thousands of tons of uowder whioh they have accumulated against just suoh emergencies as now exist. Gun powder, marvellous to say, is almost pure cotton. It requires but little juggling���scientific juggling to be sure���to convert the harmless orop ol the cotton field into the most refined of modern smokeless powder. Thoso big grains of cannon powder, whioh look like pieces of stiok candv. are but cotton refined to this form and treated with a nitrate. The process was evolved by the Deleware faotorios, where most of the powder used bv the United States government for more than a hundred years has been produced. Manv carloads of cotton are sent overy year to these aiiills and to the government plant at Indian lleml on the Potomac river, whero they are soon converted into what Uncle Sam believes to be the best smokeless powder in the world. About four million pounds of this southern staple goes annually into government powder. The magazines of their battleships, the storehouses of all our coast defences, the belt of every man in tho army is well supplied with this' converted cotton. All the great nations of the world are also busy changing American cotton into the deadly foroo whioh lies behind man-killing projectiles. * The details of the process of manufacturing Amorioan powder are closely guarded, but' tho general principle of it is simple. First tho raw cotton is treated with ethor and aloohol to break up the fiber. This converts it into a jolly-liko mass. As ethor and alcohol have -no place in the ultimate product, thev aro evaporated. The cotton jolly is then treated with nitrate in suoh proportions that, when the powder is fired, tho two will unite to form an expanding gas and there will be absolutely nothing left. All the powder for United States guns is made from this nitrated jolly. The only difference in kinds is in the size of the grains. Fach gun must havo powder to fit it. The bigger the gun the bigger the grain of powder it will need. Thus, the grains for the rifles the men carry are but half as big na a pinhead. Those for the largest coast- defence guns are three I inohes long nnd three-quarters of an inoh thick. Every grain is perforated lengthwise of the cylinder. The very small grains have a single hole running through them, while the larger sizes have seven holes. The arrangement ol these holes is in accordance with tbe most exact mathematical calculations the secret of which belongs to the government and its powder makers, The holes regulate tho rapidity with which the powder will burn. It is not intended that the charge of powder in a big gun shall exhaust its fcroo instantly. The beginning of the explosion oontinues, and, aB the projeotile gains speed, the force behind it continues to push. The projectile is followed down the rifle barrel by a continuing explosion, by whieh its speed is constantly aocelarated. The powdor is burning faster and pushing hardest at the instant the projeotile reaches the mouth of the gun. At that instant, also, it burns. up and exhausts itself. Its work is done. Thus it will be seen that a quicker burning powder will be needed to push a projeotile out os a five-foot gun barrel than one thirty feet long. Tho longer the gun barrel tho longer the powder will need to burn in accomplishing its purpose. Tho size of tho grainB and tho arrangement of the perforations, controlling the length ol time the oharge will burn, are the lectors which fit a given powdor to a given gun. Franco is known to havo had four hundred and fifty million nounds of powder in store ot the outbreak of the present war. Powdor manufacture in Franoe is a government monopoly and that nation's product iB considered less effectivo than that of some of the other nations. . Germany buys its powder from private manufacturers, who also sell their produet .to the world round. This leaves Germany in the advantageous position ot having many factories within its borders for the production of powder in time of war. This dountry holds to the polioy of developing the private manufacturer. England is as well sunnlied with nowder as is Germany. RusBla is in no way behind the times, one of its ehemistB being regarded as having ths best claim to the discoverv of tho secret of makinor modern smokeless powder. To Henry Maxim belongs the oredit of revealing that secret to the powder makors of the United Stales.��� Technioal World.

Jess Willard Wins Heavyweight Title from Johnson Yesterday afternoon the heavyweight pugilist championship changed from the hands of Jack -Johnson, who had met and deleated all comers for many yours to Jess Willard, the Kansas cowboy who delivered a clean knockout with a terrific right swing to Johnson's jaw in the ilHSth round of their scheduled 45 round ficht at ila- vuna, Cuba. There were some seventeen thousand! people on hand to see the big fight despite the fact that the day broke lather dull and cloudy, however before noon the skies had cleared considerably and at 12.30 when tho fight began the sun broke through on the gathering and the day was quite .warm. Both the fighters entered tbe ting smiling and appeared sure of the outcome, and Willard's backers were sure I their man would win if the fight went more than ten rounds, while Willard himself expressed no doubt as to the outcome, no matter what file distance. It was tho old story of skill and strength against youth and strength with the betting 0 to 5 on Johnson's skill. Johnson is one of the largest mon who evor stepped into a prize ring, but in this instance ho faced an opponent who outmeasured him at every point and towered over him five and one-half inohes, being six ieet six inches tall. Not within tho history of the prize ring has two suoh giants battled. Willard had also the advantage of ynnth. being 28 years of age while Johnson's a<ro is 3B vears. Up to the twentieth round Johnson lod the way and sparred very carefully, apparently feeling hia man out and fearing to come into close contact with the giant's swings. However at the beginning of the 22nd round it was plain that the champion was tiring and from this time on Willard landed hard and often and wore the champion down until in the 20th round he found an opening for his terrific right swing, which he has been unable to use on hiB snarm" partners for fear of injuring them and -Johnson went down for the oount for the first time in his eventful career.. Referee Welch said before the fight he anticipated no difficulty in handling the bout as he had talked over the rules thoroughly with both fighters and each understood what was expected. He aHo declared there would bo no technical champion if ho could help it. The winner will have to win his laurels fairly. This proved very truo as Willard's terrific swing in the 26th round was so swift and sure that no technicality was possible. It was as clean a knockout as was ever delivered 1n a prize'ring. During the morning the promoters went to Johnson's headquarters and handed over to him 130,000 which was his share of the gate receipts, win, Iobo or draw. Under the agreement Johnson was to receive also one-third of the moving picture privileges. Willard's share was 26 per cent of tho total receipts and one-third the moving pioture interests. The decision was loudly annlauded by the throne*, which was a mixed one. While the Cubans supported Johnson thoy applauded' enthusiastically the the new champion. HIGH SCHOOL WINS OPENING GAME-ELLISON-RBTLAND TIB THE GERMAN "GOOSE" STEP If there is one thing in particular that distinguishes the German army from all others, it is the goose-step��� the ceremonious "high-kicking" step so impressively employed by the German regiment in marching oast King or Kaiser or other potentate. The gooso-skp is aocomplisned by keeping the knee still and by lifting the leg in a kind of kick as high as possible. To see great lines of infantry employing the goose-step, to see them, with erect body and drawn-in stomach and toe Dointed outward at the same angle, lift each leg high and stiff, then bring it thunderously down upon the ground���well, that iB a striking spectacle. The goose-step, furthermore ig a fine exercise. Military critics declare that a half-hour of it will strengthen the muscles of leg and abdomen as muoh as a full day's marching. On this account, since the war's outbreak has brought the goose-step into prominence, a great many gvmaasi'ims have inaugurated goose-step classes under the supervision of ex-ofTioers of the army. It is claimed that with 'en or twelve minutes of. goose-stepping a rinv a fat man or woman will reduce the waist measure an Inoh or more a v eok The goose-step makes the leg very pui-nlc and shapely. The opening games in the schools League were played on Saturday afternoon last, the High and * Public schools meeting at the looal city park while Ellison and Rutland met at the Rutland school grounds. The game in town drew out quite a crowd and much interest was manifested in the outcome of the game bv the spectators, the bulk of avmnath" ol course being in favor of the Public sohool team, who are only smaH boys ard hardly expected to hold up their end against, the big hoys of the High School team, however thoy gave them a hard battle for several innin'*** getting away to a good start and" lidding the lead for the first half of the gamo, whon thov weakened somewhat and the High school batted out n '21 at 13 victory. Considering that this was the first game of tho season and the bovs had had but little .practice tho frame was good and furnished olenty of exciting moments for those along the lines. Tho gamo was in the hands of Mr. Ross, of the Royal Rank staff who is somewhat of a baseball -laver. having last year pitched for the Royal Rank team in Vancouver in tho Rank League, winning tho champion ah in for thnt teams ne cave satisfaction to both sides as well as the spectators, who aro at times hard to olcase. ELLISON-RUTLAND GAME The game at Ellison ������-"������xl to be an exciting, game, that was not de- decided, although ten innings waB played. The game was very close and very clean throughout, the Rutland team leading the wav until the eighth inning when the Ellisonites evened up with them, the score being 5 all. In the tenth inning neither team scored while Ellison secured a lono tally in the first half of the eleventh, and declared the came won. although Rutland was not given her half of the same inning. This of course raised a dispute between the teams and the game was not finished, thus the score must revert to thc end of the tenth inning when the score was .-> all. Although Ellison claim the victory the Rutland team will enter a protest and there ia no doubt the executive of the league will request the game n'aved over as it cannot be said that Klli on won. Tho Rutland team have boen considerably strengthened this season by three members of last years' High school team, and the hard game thev gave Ellison nroves that they will have to be watched and not takon as the joke of the league as thev were last year. The games this week will bo played at the citv nark the Ellison team meot ing the .High sohool nt 2 o'clock and thc Rutland meeting the Public school at 3.30.

Thoir work in the present campaign he said was still conspicuous. DISASTROUS BLAZE AT COM A I'M X Tho town of Comnplix in tho Arrow Lakes count ry was completely wiped out by fire on Monday.
