The minutes of the preceeding meeting were read and adopted. A number of " communications were received among which the following were laid on the table. A letter from A. E. Boyer proposing to plant shade trees in the city, to fill in spaces caused by dead trees, and to plant any needed for new streets, giving prices. 'A letter from W. F. Bouvette offering to enter into contract with the city to furnish wood for thp Power House. @A letter from the Kelowna Courier, in reply to a call for tenders by the city clerk, for printing the voters' list, offering to print same for $38.50, work to be completed by 5 th January. A tender from the Orchard City Record for the printing of the voters'' lists, for $25.00,\\rorkto-be completed in two days. A letter from the C.P.R. relating to the assessment of the building occupied by Stirling & Pitcairn. The finance committee submitted a report and Aid. Gaddes for the light committee, on the approximate cost of installing ten ■ incandescent lamps on Glen Ave. Also the approximate cost and revenue to be derived, by extending the lighting mains on'Park Avenue, as far as Rev. H. P. Thorpe's residence, and the same with regard to an extension of the Lighting mains on Glenwbod^ Avenue,,as far as W.,Crawford's"residence! Messrs'.i; Keller, Willits and Elliott waited on the council/to^ ask that the baTlljtate^oHffie" crossing on Bernard Avenue by Willits & Co*8 drug store be remedied. This crossing after a thaw or rain is little better than a mudhole, and a source of great annoyance to pedestrians. The council promised to attend to this. ' The' matter of appointing an auditor for the city books was brought up, and Mr. A. L. Meugens who audited last year's books, was re-appointed. By-law No. 51 was brought up to be read the third time. In this connection Aid. DeHart strongly opposed the closing of the bars at 7 o'clock on Saturday, and intimated that he was echoing the sentiments of a 'number of the store keepers, who claimed that early closing- would affect their business, and urged that the hour be placed at 11, or at the earliest 10 p.m. - Aid. Stirling: "If it is right-to have the bar open at all, I don't see that it is right to close up on; Saturday, when the farmers come The same old grounds were gone over again, and the same old plea' of protecting the working men by early closing, was brought up,>with the result that two motions were put to alter the hour, and both lost. The by-law (therefore stands at present as it was before. MOTIONS. Buckland-DeHarH-That the following accounts be referred to the finance committee, and paid if found correct, Wm.

The district of Grenfell was shocked to hear of the death of one of the old and respected settlers of Grenfell, in the person of the late Mr. McDonald, on Saturday night, at 10.30, December 9th. Mr. Mac donald and his family came to Grenfell during the,evening. He had been curling at the rink, and after getting ready to go home, he walked towards the north side of the town, where he died very suddenly. He came formerly from Glengarry in Ontario and settled about three miles north of Grenfell, where he has lived constantly. He leaves a loving wife and three sons. He also was very popular and respected by the settlers of the surrounding district, also the town people with whom he has done quite a business. The late Mr. McDonald has been a successful railway contractor. The remains were interred in the Grenfell Cemetery on Dec. 22nd. followed by a long procession of mourners. The Rev. Father Maillard, of Wolseley officiated at the service.—Grenfell Sun. Vancouver Terminal Point Two More Railroads. of By all odds the most important announcement in the interests' of Vancouver was that made ""to The World' Tuesday morning by L. C. Gilman, of Seattle, attorney, for the Great''Northern Railway, who has been in this city for several days past. It may come as a surprise to many to learn that not only the Great Northern aims at 'making Vancouver one of its great terminal points, but the Northern Pacific is also'interested. » There i* nothing more equivocal about the statement which was made to The Wor!3;1>yrAttorney Gilman. -. "ThaVthe large purchases^recently made by Fv'A'.' Howard along the north shore of False Creek were made4n'the' interest.-of the Great Northern Railway is well-known said Mr. Gilman to The World, "but in making those purchases, the company had in view not only their own requirements in the' city of Vancouver, but also those of fhe Northern Pacific, which has the intention of entering the city and doing business directly here. "What we expect to do now is to go to the Northern Pacific people and endeavor to join with them in some plan for the location of joint facilities for terminal purposes at some convenient spot on the shores of False Creek". Johnson Wins From Burns in Fourteenth Round. Jack Johnson, the big Galveston negro, is now the Worid's Champion Heavyweight Pugilist, winning this title from Tommy Burns, the Canadian, at Sydney, N.S.W. on the 26th inst. The fourteenth round decided the fight, when the police seeing Burns tottering and unable to defend himself, stopped proceedings. The sporting fraternity of Australia is hardly . »l~ .i—i, Tk.

The Record'Herald, in a news article under a New York date, says: The impression gained in many quarters from Andrew Carnegie's testimony before the house ways and means committee that the Laird of Skibo is back in the steel business again, is further strengthened in Wall Street, where it is reported on what was said to be excellent authority that he is the real power in Charles M. Schwab's Bethlehem Steel Company. Douks Will Move Again. The Doukhobours of Canada are planning a migration to„ Southern California, and their agent, a gentleman with a name like a cross between a cough and a sneeze, is already there spying out the land. They prefer the Adam and Eve state, minus the fig leaves, and think that the warmer climate pi California is better adapted to this. CITYS ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT IN OPERA TI0N Mayor Turns Light On In Presence Of Ratepayers. Another important step in the progress of Kelowna was made last Thursday evening at the City Power House, when Mayor Sutherland, in the presence of a number of prominent ratepayers, officially pressed-the lever which turned Kelowna's streets and business places from semi-darkness into bright dazzling light. Punctually at 4 o'clock as Had been arranged, the city engineer, Mr. Russell touched the small levers which set the massive machinery in silent put rapid - motion, rand. the. huge wheels had started upon their lon^, long run. As soon as sufficient speed had been" • obtained -Mr. Smith motioned to, the Mayor that all was ready, and Mr. Sutherland stepped towards the switch boarg with the words : "Long may our( city have light", pressed the -leve^ and the ceremony was over. „ §t . A few congratulation's and hand shakes took'place 'amongst thoie who had been most interested iji the progress of the undertaking.^ A stroll around the fine building was highly interesting, and many exclamations of" delight were heard at the rapid and', powerful, ..yet withall silent and steady motion^ of the engine and dynamo. , ,' The installation of the machinery is a credit to Mr. S. B. Smith, who managed this part for - the -Canadian Fairbanks Co., of Vancouver, and includes j^Ji 50 h.p. Robb- Armstrong. compound engine, with a 100 K.w. Fairbanks-Morse' gen erator connected, which is excited by a 10 k.w. Fairbanks-Morse direct current dynamo. A condenser, feed pump and water heater are erected in a' pit near' the engine, .and in another part stands a powerful Fairbanks-Morse pump, with a capacity of between 800 and 900 gallons of water per minute according to pressure. The electric lighting mains and pole line constructed by the Hinton Electrical Co. and supervised by Mr. Hall, is all that could be wished and so far has given every satisfaction. The municipal plant is in charge of Mr. Russel, an engineer of many years' experience, and until recently in charge of a large plant at Vancouver. Mr. Russel is assited by Mr. Colquette, who arrived from Golden. The plan of the city power and light works was designed by Mr. W. T. Ashbridge, and he has given its development his most careful attention. To this gentleman and the heads of the different branches of the construction work, credit must be given for a complete and modern plant, of which .any town of this size might be proud.' Leaving the engine room the two large boilers, 100 h.p. each, were seen at the rear, and instantly the latent energy of "the' powerful machinery was fully ,realized. The stout fireman pitching in .the fuel, was already making his shadow grow less,.iii_Jus^findeavours to help throw light on a darkened community. Deaths From Exposure. <>..,- . - • ' r * .

There is no room for doub> that the concert by the Polmatier Sisters Orchestra and Concert Co., at the Opera House, on Thursday, Jan., 7th, will be one of the most pretentious musical events of the season. They are too well know here to need much introduction and one can get a good idea of the quality of the concert and the'ability of the artists by reading the following notice from ^the Edmonton Daily Bulletin where they recently played , a week's engagement under a heavy'guarantee. i" "-' ' , ."The Dominion Theatre was filled to capacity last night with an audience wHo went to criticize thePoJmatier Sisters if they failed to make good, but they did.. The work of the girls was of the very best class, the various numbers were^eacK/'gems'in themselves and the audience called for encore after encore- tot which the girls graciously responded, i ) '^'i ''• 1 ' \ L" The quality of the work of these'jtalented artists can be judged by the difficult selection they attempted ^nd rendered to perfection. The world famous intermezzo from Masc1lgni!s Cavalieria Rusticana was a delightful item, while the well known-Anvil Chorus was received with rapturous applause. That the Polmatier. Sisters have made a 'HIT with the citizens of Edmonton is unquestionable, as at the closes of, the concert they were each presented with a' boquet of Chrysanthemums by the young and handsome men of the city known bb the Law Students. e .' „ l> , - '- '.■,'".

The three colored employees of the Hotel Summerland, had been to Penticton on Christmas day, and were riding home that night, it is presumed, more or less intoxicated. For some reason they dismounted on the road and , their horses got away. A futile attempt was made to catch them, and all three lay down to rest. Two of the number never saw daylight again, and the third crawled into Summerland next day, more dead than alive and reported tne occurence. The bodies of the cook and porter, were found on Saturday .where they had expired through exposure. Arthur, the- porter, was a .well known figure at the wharf, where he used to meet the incoming boats, and his bright cheery, ways made him very popular with all travellers, Results of. the inquest are not yet to hand, but we understand that the verdict was "death from exposure". Masonic Banquet, The Masonic Brethren of the City held a Banquet in connection- with the installation of officers, given in Raymer's Hall on Monday evening. A good attendance was there and several visiting brethren. The installation ceremony was conducted by Worshipful Brother- Burne, when the following officers were-iristalled. Worshipful Masterr-P. B.

Hunter v Director of CeremoniesE.Wilkinson Lecture at Presbyterian Church. Mr. Boyer's lecture on Monday night was listened, to by a-good sized audience in Knox Church. The chair was taken at 8 p.m. by Mr. Harvey, who with a short speech introduced the speaker. The subject of the lecture, "Rem- enisences of early days", took the form of a review of each individual life from the earliest infancy, tracing step by step, the growth into early childhood, early manhood, and so on into feill maturity. Mr. Boyer dwelt for a short time on the seriousness of marriage, and offered some sound advice to who- ever would take it. Some of the word pictures he drew of home life were comical, others pathetic, and all recalling scenes long past to the listeners. A very effective adjunct to his interesting address was the solo 'Home Sweet Home'. This old song, sung with much sweetness and pathos by Mrs. J. N. Thompson, was highly appreciated recalling to many listeners, voices and scenes of long ago. The lecture seemed to fulfill its object, that of obtaining lessons from the home life, and scenes of every day seemed to bear a special signifi- gance when enlarged upon in Mr. Boyer's discourse. BACHELORS' DINNER The dinner at the Royal Hotel was, from all reports, a perfect success, and' the thanks of many lonely bachelors for a jolly Christmas are due to the popular proprietor. About 100 guests' attended the dinner and supper, after which the tables were moved away, and all prepared themselves to enjoy the evening with music, vocal and instrumental. When the party broke up about 11 p.m. everyone had thoroughly enjo9ed himself. ' ! t Mr. A. McGee, arrived on Chris- day from Juno, Alaska, and intends living here'and'opening up his business of general upholsterer, as per his advertisement.

The appreciation in Kelowna of a high class performance was considerable on Tuesday night, when Raymer's Hall was packed full, to see the above Company appear in their grand triple bill, "Sweethearts Barbara and Chiselling." All the available seats were crammed, and those who were unable' to secure seats had to stand. To say, that the acts were good is to put it mildly, and the rapt atttention paid to the pieces showed very clearly /-' the sentiment of the public. The country ""scene in "Sweethearts" was very effective,-and Mrs, Legge- Willis gave a finished and sympathetic rendering of her part "Jennie" and indeed her performance throughout the whole of'<the, evening, was of quite a high calibre. In.elo- cution she was noticeably superior to the general run. She- was very ably backed up' by Mr. Legge-Willis, who played three arduous parts in the course of the evening with conspicuous ability. A very promising recruit made her first appearance in this work in the person of Miss Cockrel, whosebright and clever rendering of her parts, proved very acceptable, to, the audience, particularly in the,part of "Mrs. Piper." Mr. W. Pease, also played the heavy old man. with the greatest success, and wasably.supported by Mr. A. Cowan, as " Jeune Premier. a The piece that appeared- to take best, was " Chiselling,1', and Mr. ,Legge-Willis, as "Alexander the Great ".provoked considerable "^ l'\ merriment.

THE ORCHARD CITY RECORD Published every Thursday at the Office, Kelowna, B.C. CHAS. H. LEATHLEY, Editor and Proprietor Subscription $1.50 per annum. To United States $2.00 per annum. Advertising rales upon application. In response to our request in a previous issue, for someone to "take the shine," out of a prairie man, who tried to flabbergast us with a picture of tennis playing in December, at Roleau, Sask., two of Kel- owna's leading lights called in on Tuesday, Dec, 29th. to report a most enjoyable trip on the lake in a motor launch. " Ducks " were the order of the day. We have been asked by a fruit grower, what prizes were won by Kelowna and other places in B.C. at the Royal Horticultural Society Show, in 1908. In answer we would say that B.C. as a whole took the gold medal for the fourth year in succession, and some of the fruit exhibited was sent from Kelowna. Kelowna however made no individual exhibit. There were some minor prizes to individuals, and Summerland took a Silver Knightian Medal. Mr. Palmer, who was in charge of the B.C. fruit is on his way home again, and when he arrives a detailed report will doubtless be given. CONLIN RANCH. The following appears in a late issue of the Salmon Ami Observer: "Our new Kelowna contemporary, the Orchard City Record, makes an inauspcious start when it allows itself to be the mouthpiece of those who knock this portion of the Interior—where irrigation is not required—by saying, that irrigated fruit is superior. The facts do not bear out this statement, and it is the first time that we have seen it in public print. When our contemporary has been longer in the country to permit of it forming for itself and unbiassed opinion, it will not allow itself to knock other portions of the interior equally as good as its own, in its zealousness for the cause". In view of the numerous prizes taken by Okanagan Fruit at different exhibitions, and particularly the brilliant victory of Kelowna recendy, it looks as though facts certainly do "bear out this statement", and these remarks of our contemporary, are, to say the least, a little ill judged. On another page we publish the notice of the city council calling a a meeting of ratepayers for the discussion of municipal matters. This is an opportunity for the Aldermen and Ratepayers to meet on neutral ground, when the affairs of the city may be mutually discussed and considered. It is impossible for any body of men to exactly please all parties, and our city Fathers have often to deal with very perplexing problems in the exercise of their official duties. At the same time ratepayers may have valuable, suggestions^ to offer, or real grievances to air, and a little mutual discussion and explanation tends to clear the atmosphere and lubricate the wheels of the civic machinery. It is hoped that ratepayers will not neglect this opportunity, and turn out in good force. It is not only people with money can come to the Okanagan and make comfortable homes for themselves. There have been others, who simply by their energy and thriftness have managed to buy small properties, and in the course of time build up productive orchards. We have one instance in Mr. James Conlin, who reached the Okanagan Valley sixteen years ago, blessed chiefly with an abundance of energy. For nine years Mr. Conlin worked for wages in Kelowna district, and seven years ago seized his opportunity to purchase a small piece of property 3 miles or so from Kelowna. At the time of purchasing the land was all bush covered, with a few old apple trees, which had been planted some 30 years earlier, growing amongst the bush. It meant hard work and economy in starting to lay out the fine orchards now owned by Mr. Conlin, and the first year he only planted a few onions, meanwhile clearing enough land to plant four or five acres of apple trees.. While waiting for his trees to mature, Mr. Conlin raised market vegetables, and the fertility of the soil here, made this most profitable. One year, the crop on three acres of orchard land, was twenty-four tons of onions, sown between the trees, some of which in the early part of the season sold for $43.00 per ton, and later on the balance was sold for $27.50 per ton. The potato yield is also profitable, and six or seven tons to the acre is a fair estimate. In fruit growing, although Mr. Conlin is no expert, he has done well, and his orchards are bringing good returns. The yield per tree is good. On account of the trees being different ages, it was hard to decide the average yield, but from some Jonathan trees planted five years ago, about 6 or 7- packed boxes of shipping fruit were picked. Three year old trees yielded about three or four packed boxes last year, while of course with the older trees the yield was very much greater. In the case of the Conlin Ranch, as in many others around here, we have evidence of the rich productive soil of the Okanagan, and of Kelowna in particular, and the fact of the flourishing orchards now to be seen on the above ranch, being bush land only seven years ago, is proof of the reward iCelqwna offers to the energetic and painstaking settler. ^' _.'

Curious Story of the Haunted Sentry Box. , THE OLD LEGEND. • Pr a wits s Co. DRUGGISTS and STATIONERS Kelowna, B. C ? A. R DAVY ..Wholesale and Retail Butcher. Cattle,Sheepand Hone] Dealer. KELOWNA, B.C DAVIES & MATHIE '. * . - .* .Ladies' and. Gents' Tailors One of the Many Mysterious Disappearances From Port San Cristobal Accounted For by the Revelation of the Lost One Himself. i Writing Li the Journal of the Military Service Institution, Captain Arthur p. S. Hyde of the coast artillery tells this curious story of "the haunt ed sentry box" of Fort San Cristobal, the ancient Spanish built fortress which" guards the entrance to San Juan, Porto Rico: "A number of picturesque sentry „boxes built of masonry and appearing like minarets are placed at points of vantage in and around the fort One of these on the* sea front, and reached only through a long and dark tunnel from" the Interior of the'fort, is popularly known as La Garlta del Diablo or, the. devil's sentry box, usually, although Incorrectly, *•- translated the haunted sentry box. This name was given to It by the Spanish soldiers for the reason that a number of sentries stationed there disappeared in a most mysterious manner and were never again heard from. "An -American officer was once on duty that took him into the remote Interior of the island, and while spending one night in a small settlement he engaged In conversation with a nuiu ber of the inhabitants of the place.' One old man, on learning fhat the officer was stationed at Fort San Cris- "tobal. became especially interested and in the course of the conversation told the following story: " 'I used to be a soldier In the Spanish army and was stationed at Port San Cristobal. A number of soldiers while on sentry duty had mysteriously disappeared from the sentry box down by-the sea,-and we had all become convinced that it was haunted by the devil, who, we thought, used to come anil steal the soldiers away. " 'One stormy, night .It fell to my lot io go on duty In the devil's, sentry box.'as we called it, at midnight, and, it was with some doubts, and misglv\ ings that I went with the corporal of' the^ guard and relieved'the former sentry. When they left" me. I listened to the sound of their footfalls reverberating from- the walls and celling of the dark and narrow- passage, ever growing fainter and fainter as they receded, until Anally the noise of the storm ami' the sea- completely drowned It, and I was left alone with the mad elements. > ._,' " 'It was a mad night and one well calculated to .add to the feeling of awe that the devil's sentry box always Instilled into the man on duty there at night ' '"Presently my attention was attracted by some lights In a small tavern on the shore below the fort, where many of us were wont to'go when off duty for a glass of rum. Then I be- ganN to think that I might be able to climb down over the rocks to the shore, get n glass of ram at the tavern and return to my post „ " The more I thought of it the more determined I was to,go. so finally, leaving my rifle and belt In the Sentry box. I climbed over, the wall and down on to the rocks and so made mysway with great labor and difficulty and no little danger to the little house, where the occupants were making merry with dancing and drinking. I soon- fell rto and enjoyed myself with them. "'When one Is dancing with n fair senorltn he sometimes forgets the pasj of time, Mr. and Mrs. Lew! left-on Thursday for Manitoba, where they will reside In future. *,' Mr. John Lowe left on Thursday for Moosejaw.

If there had been any doubt on this matter in their minds surely it readily could have been dispelled by a reference to any issue of the 'Courier' as it distinctly states at the head of each leading article 'Geo. C'Rose, M. A'. But possibly the readers of your contemporary could better understand and appreciate the philaophy Iosh Billings, if it were written in the polished style of a literator and therefore Mr. McLennan's letter was left unedited. In adopting these strange tactics how. ever the 'Courier' in opening its mouth has put its foot right into it, and has unwittingly sharpened one at least of the swords of the enemy. Mr. McLennan mentions in his letter the Socialist doctrine of education for all. And that does not merely mean free primary education, but the best university education in the land for all who desire it, absolutely free of cost. If Mr. McLennan's letter had received the customary correction and punctuation, the need of such a Socialist measure would not have been so blazingly apparent. At present the leading professions are only open to those who have pure blood or filthy lucre. "As the poet Gray so beautifully expressed it. Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid Some heart once pregnant with celestial '* fire; Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd, i > Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre: But knowledge to their eyes her ample , Page Rich with the spoils of time, did ne'er unroll; Chill penury repress'd their noble rage And froze the genial current of their soul. But under Socialism no longer would chill penury rob the nation of its best wealth. No longer would our churchyards engulf the wasted talents of our unfortunate brothers and sisters, but each child of the state would have the best chance that the state could give.it. This is only one of the proposals of Socialism and I submit to fair minded readers that it is neither anarchic nor chimerical, but plain political economy of the highest and purest type.

To Editor Orchard City Record Dear Sir: If I were called to the ministry at the present day I think I would begin my work by holding a prolonged consecration service and for twenty-six consecutive Sundays I should take for my text, Matt. 23. verse 15. "Woe unto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites I for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he is become so, ye make him twofold more a son of hell than yourselves". I would take this word "hypocrite-"'and endeavor to make the sense of it pierce through the thick or thin hide of each member of my audience. There would then begin a procession which would continue at each service. . The most tender and thin skinned hypocrites would march out first. They would be followed by those much older in the game, who could control tne muscles of their 'faces with greater skill. Perhaps by the 2fith Sunday there would be none left and I should be inclined to consider that as unmistakeable evidence that the church was duly consecrated. By the time the last hypocrite had marched out* I think Mr. and ..Mrs. Facing-Two-Ways and all the members of that great and pious - family would have learned something about 'Sincerity'. , Now the reason I write in this way is that during the past seven t weeks there have been special meetings for u prayer in connection with the non-conformist churches in town. These meetings have been the united gatherings, of the Presbyterians, Methodists and Baptists to pray that the Lord would make the coming revival services' a great blessing, to many. Now. the„ membership ,of these three churches will totaj somewhere, between 200 and 300 and out of these 'members .who are all presumably believers 'in the efficacy of the prayer of a4 righteous man, there have not been-at any meeting more than from 25 to 35 in attendance. <ie The'question which comes into the head of, the heretic' is just this: Do these church members believe really that' prayer > is of any-avail in such matters or doi they not) If they'do' the only cdnclusion-one can conic to is'that they consider theirt'Social and>>commercial- engagements >of;vastly more >'importance'<than the < moral and spiritual welfare of 'thc'OrchardnQty'.On whose*ibehalf, this'. approaching- Revival ihas been organized.{> i ,-i .»« •\i.,,n.!. ' If- they don't believe in prayer - Vfhyo on earth don't they show'tho spirit of a < man and say so out arid our'.nnd'be done with it,' ><>',« i. >' n < . • t i**<Kt i> i ' ,(,,lt,<is .this jelly-fish .Christianity,, more!, than ajll the infidelity .and agnpaticism of tho'present-day; (hat i? dragging, the,name pf Jesus into (liBrcp^to.andgiyiinjf tlje^out'- sider a chance to point the finger of scom. Let the church members in our city get busy and show us plainly what they be- lieve or .else for- the sake ,of common hone8ty>and common decency let them give up their rant and cant, and take' all their worship instead of nine tenths of it to the shrine of Mammon. y Yours truly 'HAGGAF.

At a meeting of the National -Service League in Hampstead Town Hall, Field- Marshall Sir George >Vhite said: "It is an open question with me whether we should have conscription or not, but the present time is peculiarly opportune for advocating preparedness of the country for war. This country has voluntarily taken the re. sponsibility of defending the rights and liberties of 402,000,000 people, and for that awful responsibility we have a smaller disposible army than little Switzerland has. In trusting to the navy alone we are running a grave national risk. It is the duty of every citizen to be armed, equipped and ready for fight." State and Railway Pensions. A significant comment on the Old Age Pensions Act was furnished by a decision of the London and South-Western Railway Company this week. The company has notified such of their pensioners as are over seventy that the voluntary allowance made by the company will cease at the end of the present, year. The pensioners are advised to apply for the State pensions, but are informed that if they are found ineligible their allowance will be continued. The directors add that they do not wish the present income of pensioners to be diminished, so that they will allow such a sum in the future as will with the State pension make up the amount now received. !->AxIriw#fl»rough,ouri lovely valley .'is al- ies here; on 'wliicR^fcarJ garden produce-are.
