Harvey reported having fully .dismissed the question of dredging Mill Creek, and had found that the cost would be $1,500. This was considered too expensive and it was decided not to have the work done. He had advise the government of the decision. Aid. Jones reported upon having discussed the question of appointing a building inspector, and the committee had decided that Aid. Cox should be again asked to act as inspector this year, AU -j-__vt. P-_'a.iJ W_b #-.._ -_-%. «_.ioK f__ W* o»IM __v» U.V.- mm\\rm m«., .v take the responsibility- upon his shoulders this year, and would have sooner seen the committee appoint a responsible man outside to look after the work. However, if it was the wish of the committee that he should act, he would agree to accept the position. The mayor therefore appointed Aid. Cox to tKe position for the present year. A letter was read from Mr. Payn- ter, postmaster at East Kelowna, offering his services as police magistrate, the mayor suggesting that the appointment should be made. Aid. Jones suggested that the council should take some steps to ^find Out the qualifications of • the ' applicant, as he was unknown to the majority of the aldermen. The mayo1 said that there was very little choice over the applicants as Mr. Poynter's application ,:was the only one received, - Aid. Stirling stated that the applicant v/a8 a solicitor, and was in some way connected or acquainted with Earl Grey. He had been in the valley for about a year, and was at present running the post office on the bench Jand. - The appointment of the various commissioners was then read : Licen.e commissionersappointed were Mayor Sutherland, Aid. Jones and Dr. 'Boyces. Police commissioners appointed were Mayor Sutherland, Aid. Leckie and F. M. Buckland. A letter was then read, enclosing a motion of the Vancouver City Council, asking the Government to take over the telephone systems throughout the province, the council being asked to endorse the motion. . ' "That this council of the City of Vancouver in regular meeting assembled hereby declares its approval of the principal of public ownership and operation of all telephones systems, and that owing to the present nature of the telephone system now in operation in B. G, it would be preferable for their ownership and operation to be under direct management of the provincial government. This council therefore would ask the prov. government to take into careful consideration the acquiring of all telephone systems in the province and operating same in the public iintsScSg^ and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Premier of B.C. and to each of the local representatives." Aid. Leckie reported having made enquiries in the matter,- but stated that he had not received the: desired information. It was moved and carried that the letter be .'considered at the next meeting of the council. The following motion was then read: Stirling-Leckie—That Mr. E. C. Paynter be recommended to the government for appointment as police magistrate, and magistrate attsmall debts cpvurt-at a -salaiy: ot $30-a month.—-Carried. :~ The mayor asked Aid. Harvey if it was not his wish to engage a man by the month to do road work and to repair sidewalks. Aid. Harvey replied that such was his intention, and that he knew a man who could do carpentry work and could fix the sidewalks. A motion was put forward authorizing the chairman of the board of-works to engage a man, the question of salary to be left in his hands. Upon motion, By-law No. 70, being an amendment to the'Health by-law, was reconsidered and finally passed. Mr. Milligan attended and asked that permission would be given him to enclose the verandah outside the Royal Hotel with plate glass. It was requested that Mr. Milligan should make out plans and refer the matter to the building inspector. Mr. Milligan asked that a speedy decision should be arrived at. as he wished to go ahead with his work. "The mayor said that if the plans were left with the city clerk the matter would be taken up at the next committee meeting and a decision arrived at Mr. Buckland attended and asked that the council 'would supply the hospital with free light and power, and that the question of a further grant should be taken into consideration. The mayor explained that the question of grants would be gone into at an early date, and that the question of free light and power to the hospital would be taken up then. The band had approached him for a grant of $300. He thought that the question of supplying free light could be met by the council granting the equivolent by way of additional grant. The meeting then adjourned, to meet again on Saturday next, at 8 o'clock p.m. . i 7. FALL FAIRS BATEJ ARE FIXED.

Chief Hidson Resigns " Taking one consideration with another, a policeman's life is not a happy one!" Chief Hidson has managed to bring down upon his head: a storm of indignation over (lis unlucky and mistaken arrest of a young girl last Sunday. It is claimed that he used unnecessary violence, and petitions have been circulated fpr his removal. The police commissioners decided that he was within his powers in what he did, but other complications arose, with the result that Hidson -has sent in his resignation. The fire brigade dinner will be held on April 1st. Keep the date open. The Presbytery of Kamloops will meet here on the 15th of February at 4 o'clock p.m. A meeting of the Farmers' Institute is to be held in Raymer's small hall on Feb. J 6th, when Mr. Sutherland will give his lecture on "Bees." . , province. Mr. Maxwell Smith, late fruit in spector, announced a movement for the holding of the first national apple show next November at Vancouver. The sum of $25,000 was required and he suggested that this be voted by the provincial and Dominion governments and the city in which-the show was to be held. There would be many exhibits which would be a great advertisement for the province. This announcement was the the cause of much discussion, and resulted in a resolution being passed endorsing the idea of a national apple show, and recommending that the first meeting should be at Vancouver. The establishment of local demonstration farms was discussed at some length, it being pointed out that such farms would be a .great help to the. newcomer, as We|l as those already interested in ihe province, and would supply information that at present has to ;tb Ke sent away for. * 7 A resolution was carried that the womeh's institute receive a grant the same as is given to the farmers* institute. Many other important measures were dealt /with, including the bonusing of stallions for the improvement of horses; the reduction of freight charges - to the prairie provinces; the purchase and distribution ot clover seed among the farmers; the enforcement of the noxious weeds act; the restriction of the disposal of crown lands, tp purely non-speculative purposes; instructions as to the use or explosives; the giving of a bonus for the destruction of crows; the election of advisory boards in each district to assist the road superintendent,-and the installation of a system of telephones in rural districts. A - resolution was proposed that the government should take steps to prevent nurserymen from selling trees not true to name.. The chairman pointed out that this Was already provided for, as a nursery doing this was liable to lose the $2000 which each had to deposit with the gov- eminent, as a guarantee of good faith. A recommendation was also made that the government place a bounty of 3 cents each on gophers and moles. Mr._T. G. Speei* speaking stron'giy in favor of such a measure. Others however were of the opinion that the pest was' not serious enough for a bounty, and the resolution was lost by a small majority. Mr. Speer's resolution with resp.ctto the cases of. foul brood in the bees of this district and requesting the Department of Agriculture to make a thorough inspection was heartily endorsed by the meeting?. Tobacco growing in Kelowna and the growth of the industry was inttoduced through a resolution proposing that the administration shoul appropriate $500 for the payment of an expert for the instruction of the farmers of the Okanagan in the cultivation of tobacco. It was stated that the industry was rapidly growing in this district, and that over two hundred acres were to be devoted to it this year. 'Mr. Mathieson, the seconder of the motion, said that experts had declared that British Columbia tobacco was as good as anything grown in the States, and that it was bound to become an important industry. The only thing was to acauaint' farmers of the province, who knew little or nothing about it, with the best means to be adopted in order to handle it successfully. He thought that the proposal was one worthy of en- donation. Others however were ofthe opinion that if experimental stations were established they would supply the necessary instruction, and the motion was not adopted. «t»i- Mr. A. R. Davy has purchased the livery barn belonging to Cal. Backwood, and has installed a number of fresh horses which he will let out on hire. Mr. Davy is going largely into the draying business and has signified his intention of putting on an extra force in this direction. The regular monthly meeting of the Board of Trade was held last night in the Rowcliff Hall, a very small attendance being present. Mr. P. DuMoulin, who occupied the chair, expressed his regret at not having been present at the last meeting, and thanked the members of the board for having placed him in the position of chairman for the present year. The secretary, (Mr. Kerr), then read correspondence from the following: The secretary of the Associated Boards of Trade, enclosing minutes of general meeting.—Filed. From the Dept. of Agriculture, re packing school.—Filed. Letters were also read enclosing the rates and taxes due on the Idaho property and also two letters re advertising, were turned over to the publicity committee. The first matter to be taken up was the question of holding a packing school here, it being pointed out that the department were willing to supply the teacher if the board of trade or some other body would supply the building, the pupils and the boxes. Mr. T. G. Speer reported having taken the matter up with Mr. Winslow, who happened to be travelling with him; back from Victoria and he had stated.that it vas required to have fifteen pupils before the school could start,.and that these pupils had to be looked fprby the body who were engineering the project at this point. If these fifteen pupils could be gotten together, the school would start on the 24th inst. ^7He explained that Mr. Winslow would be expecting a reply to his invitation to establish school on the morrow. The . great question before the meeting seemed the question of getting together the fifteen pupils, and it was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the horticultural and agricultual committee to make the necessary enquiries and arrangements. Mr. DuMoulin suggested that all real estate literature issued by the various firms in town should be endorsed by the board, so as tp prevent conflicting statements being made by the various pamphlets issued. It was decided to leave this matter to the publicity committee. Mr. Speer suggested that as Mr. Scott, deputy" minister ot agriculture, and Mr. Metcalf, a fruit expert, had expressed their desire, to pay the town a visit on the ,4thiof March and would also, like to address the members of the board of trade, that the members should turn out and give them a good hearing, and at the same time give them a lunch upon their arrival. It was pointed out that the- persons in question were coming at the instigation of the Farmers' Institute, and that all entertaining should be left in the institute's hands. Mr. Speer also reported that by agreement at Victoria, a man would be sent by the department to thoroughly inspect the bees here and in the province. ■"*•;-■ A long discussion then1- took place upon tobacco, it being considered that it was just as important to encourage the cultivation of tobacco, as it waa of fruit. At this' point Mr. Kerr got up and remarked upon the numerous letters he was getting, asking for news and the: rsources of the valley. He had had on an average of one letter a day and many Instances he had beeh asked if it was possible to grow enough to obtain a revenue off the land during the time that young orchards were maturing. He wished to ask if it were possible to cultivate enough tobacco between the trees to bring in enough revenue for a* man to live on until the orchard was in bearing. He instanced one letter he had received from a man who wished to know if it was possible to make any headway with a capital of about $5,000, and asked if he could confidently . recommend: a man to come to Kelowna with that small amount of capital, and to engage in fruit farming. Mr. Holman said he would advise such a man to come at once, for even with that small sum he could take up sufficient good .land to start the cultivation of tobacco, ao as to derivte a revenve from the land in the first year. Asked about the possible revenue that could be obtained from the growing of tobacco, Mr. Holman replied that he had known a man clear $700 in the first year off six acres of land.. Another party he had handled the crop for had made $35 -an acre. This party did not touch the crop themselves, and paid a high price for room in the storage sheds. They had, moreover, hired all the implements, and paid good prices; Another man had grown tobacco between the five-year old: trees in his orchard,, and had cleared $100 per acre. Mr. Holman put down the worth of his own crop at $200 per acre, as he had all the machinery and buildings to work with. " The great question was the choice of land, and although most of the land was suitable, there was some that was-hot. For choice, Mr. Holman favored bottom land. Asked-with reference to a mar- '- ket fSr tobacco, Mr. Holman said ' - it wasnot many "days ago that.ihe % mariager of the Imperial Tobacco - Co. was here, and he pronounced j; the product of Kelowna better than whatthevwere handling. He fur-. > ther stated that his company would like to purchase Kelowna tobacco instead of what they were rising, ' but at present the output was so- " small that arrangements could not , be made to purchase in sufficiently '»' * large quantities. MivSpeer pointed out that onions, *"* were a good crop to grow between ^t\\ the trees. 5 • i " Mr. Elliott asked if anyone had made any overtures to the CP.Ri to get a reduction on through car load rates. He considered that how the company had built a slip here the work of transportation should be easier, ahd consequently a reduction on the rate to this point should be made. ' Mr. Kerr then went back to the question of tobacco and advertising and said if what he had heard of the tobacco industry was correct the board of trade were advertising the possibilities of growing fruit too much, and the possibilities of growing tobacco too little. He was of the opinion the tobacco industry should, be built up, and more information placed in the board of trade pamphlet with, reference thereto. According to Mr. Holman, there was a good market for tobacco, and although Kelowna had experienced no difficulty in finding a market for its fruit, he had heard that other towns in the valley had experienced difficulty in disposing of their fruit and other produce. Mr. Holman gave another point in favour of tobacco growing. .He said fruit demanded a steady and almost immediate market, while-, tpbacco did not require such a. Erompt market; the longer it is ept the better gets. Moreover there is little danger if attacked by frost which could not be said with any degree of certainty in reference -- to fruit After some further dit- cuMion-on the question the meeting adjourned. j , t"i_ Af* Mr. A. E. Boyer returned last week from a short business trip to"' Victoria in connection with his nursery business h«>re. The Layritt Nursery is to be largely extended in the valley this year, and Mr. Boyer is very busy in that respect. Fuller particulars will be published shortly.

The Rutland Estate Irrigation Co. held their first annual meeting in the hall on Monday evening last. The directors elected for the ensuing year, were: Dr. Baker, Chas. H. Leathley, E. Goodrich, J. Woolsey, and A. L. Cross.. The work of re-building the ditch is to be proceeded with at once. The little girl of Mr. and Mrs. McDonald died on Monday night last. The little one has been very ill during its brief life, gradually growing worse towards the end. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon. Evangelestic meetings are being held during the week in the hall by Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Morgan. A well attended meeting was held in the Rutland Hall, Friday evening last for the purpose of organizing a farmers' institute, and a large number of fruit growers were in attendance. Mr. S. Sproul was rooted to the chair, and Mr. Landsdowne was appointed secretary, pro tern. The purpose of the meeting having been explained by the chairman, the matter was freely discussed by those present. The general opinion was decidedly in favour of organization,. as also of extending the operations of the society beyond the usual program of a farmers' institute. The methods of handling and sale of fruit and produce was dealt with, much dissatisfaction being expressed at the treatment generally accorded the farmers. A large number of names were attached to the initial application for a charter. A noise like thunder awakened the Rutland folks Tuesday morning last, when it was observed that Mr. Maguire's team was endeavouring to negotiate the benches in.a wild mad gallop, dragging the box wagon behind them. Over stones, stumps and through gulleys they dashed — something black and heavy bouncing and juumping up and down inside the box. The humour of the thing was quickly realized, when it was discovered that it was Maguire's pig which was travelling the " rocky road." Mr. Ed. Clark has returned from the coast, and expresses himself as more than satisfied with the splendid weather of the valley, as contrasted with the damp atmosphere of the coast. 4 Messrs. Duncan 6c Wallace have contracted to clear, fence and plant Mr. Noble's lot ih the 2nd sub-division. They are also filling a contract with Mr. T. Bulman for a mile of piping, and excavating a reservoir. They are certainly hustlers. Mr. G. F. Clark, who so ably and acceptably filled the pulpit of the Methodist church last summer, has returned from New Westminster, where he has been resuming his studies at the Methodist college. He intends staying in the valley in the hope of recovering his health, which has suffered greatly through top close application and burning " midnight oil." Certificates of immunity" from orchard pests of .treejj imported from France are said by entomologists of the Dominion Government1 to be worthless^ as inspection of, trees iiflpprted ^dCT^Aese certificate haye been*" iiaatfe' by Mr. Arthef Gibson iin^ it ,haS been found that they were-irife_ted with browntftil moth, one. df - the most destructive of orchard pests. 'Last year 200 nests of browntail moth were found on stock imported from France. Although everybody grows potatoes there are a few interesting facts about them that are not generally known. To obtain an early crop of potatoes, not only should an early variety be chosen, but the tubers should be exposed to the sun under glass until they have turned green, and until the sprouts on them are an inch or more long. The longer these sprouts are the better, if the sets are carefully handled so that they are not broken off. This sprouting has the effect of developing a number of short joints on the young shoots, and, a3 the young potatoes form at the joint8,l'it stands to reason that the more joints we have underground, the heavier the crop will be. If after planting the potatoes are earthed up more young tubers will form, but as these do not de- velope until the plant has made considerable growth, the ensuing crop, though heavier, is later than if not earthed. POTATO CULTURE IN IRELAND In Ireland, where the labor is not grudged, I have seen very fine crops of potatoes grown in wet boggy land by following method : After being plowed the land is marked out in strips alternately four feet and two feet wide. Strawy manure is spread on the four-foot strips, and on this manure the freshly-cut potato sets are evenly distributed, at from twelve to eighteen inches apart, according to the variety of potato used. The soil from the two-foot strips is then shovelled all over the four- foot beds, covering the potatoes to a depth of three or four inches. When the potato tops have grown a few inches above the soil, the bed is given another top-dressing of the soil from the two-foot strips, which by this time are converted into deep trenches. Good crops are obtained in this way, and a second crop is obtained from the land at the same time by inserting cabbage plants two feet apart along the edge ofthe trenches at about the level of the manure. These generally also yield a fine crop. By further deepening these trenches can be converted into drains whereby the land can be easily reclaimed. This hint may be worth noting, although I doubt if the method would become popular in thia labor-saving country. GROWING EARLY POTATOES IN ' CELLAR New potatoes in small quantities can be produced early in the year, when they will fetch fancy prices, by the following method: Fit up a number of wide shelves in a dark cellar, and on these place two inches of almost dry soil. Select good-sized tubers and half imbed these in the soil, .setting them two and a half to three inches apart. Sprouts will shortly form with small potatoes at their base. The tops of these sprouts should be nipped off with scissors. The small potatoes should be gathered and marketed when about the size of a large walnut. Several crops will be borne before the bed is exhausted. The cellar must be perfectly dark. A very slight sprinkling of water may be given carefully from time to time to the potatoes, though too much does harm. FERTILIZING POTATOES- ,7 In fertilizing potatoes, sulphate of potash and not muriate of potash should be used, as the latter tends to make the potatoes waxy. If nitrogen has to be supplied nitrate of soda is preferable to ammonia salts. As a rule, however, this is not needed, especially if potatoes are planted on a turned under sod, which gives nitrogen equal to about fifteen loads of barnyard manure per acre. As potatoes like a strawy manure, this clover particularly suits them and it has another beneficial effect in that its ferment" ation produces a slight acid react" ion in the soil which has a tenden cy to check potato scab- —W.

On Wednesday evening theLocal Option League of Summerland met to appoint a delegate to the Victoria Convention on February 10th Up to the present no one has been found who can spare the time. Reeve Agur and municipal clerk J. L. Logie were passengers to Victoria Monday last on business connected with the municipality. They will wait on the Legislature and endeavor to secure the necessary changes in the municipal act in order to permit of the acquisition of the local water and light franchise. The W.M.S. of the Methodist church is preparing to send a large delegation to the district convention in Kelowna on the 16th of this month. The body of Mr. R. Brown, who has been missing for some weeks, and for whom diligent seaich has been ma:'e through the valley, was found on Tuesday last, about two miles South of the Okanagan Landing. The body was only a few feet from the lake shore, but reports are not to hand as to how the deceased managed to lose his life. PENTICTON. U. S. Grant, manager pf the Westbank subdivision, was in town Tuesday. He says that a high- pressure domestic water supply has just been installed at Westbank Mr. Grant's object has been to sell the fruit lands befoi e the town lots as when they are settled the town will have something to sustain it. At a meeting of the Penticton Municipal Council the Reeve sug- gestsd that a day be set for the Council to drive over municipality and asceatain the amount of money required to put the roads in shape. KEREMEOS. Several residets of Keremeos report having seen robins and other migratory birds early last week. Evidently our feathered friends have entirely ignored the calender and been guided solely by the spring like weather of the past two weeks. ENDERBY. - C. P.-R. agent Sharpe has received notice of his transfer to Donald. J. Burnham, well-known at various stations on the Okanagan branch, will take the Enderby station. In the year or more that they have been in Enderby, Mr. and Mrs. Sharpe have made many frieds who will wish them every success in their new field of service. PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS CARDS J. P.

Barnard Ave. Ellison School District. ( From our own correspondent.) A handsome pair of polished brass altar candlesticks has just been presented to St. Michael and All Angels Church, by Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Stirling. The gift was intended for a Christmas offering but owing to delay in transit the case did not arrive until a few days ago. The candlesticks were dedicated at the early Celebration on Sunday last. Several friends, are preparing a send off concert to be given to Mr' J. W. Wilks in the Opera House on February 28th. Knowles' Big Sale starts next Wednesday the 15th and runs to the 26th. Mr. F. Christian, of Anicet, Que., is visiting his brother, Mr. Joseph Christian. It is sixteen years since Mr. Christian last made a trip to the Okanagan, and he is agreeably surprised at the improvement made in that time. Preparations are being made for the concert to be held at the school house this evening. A good time is expected. It is the first step towards securing finances for the building of the proposed new Ellison Hall. Skating appears to have taken the place of all other amusements this winter, but probably as lent is upon us the gay parties will dwindle down in number. Rev. Father Verbeke celebrated the silver jubilee of his ordination on Sunday. Many were the good wishes extended to him on that occasion. The honor roll of the Ellison school for January is as follows: Jun. 1st Prim.—Frankie Guest. Sen. 1st Prim.—Ena McQueen. 1st Reader.—Frances Hereron. 2nd Reader,—Ralph Bulman. 3rd Reader.—Tom Carney. 4th Reader—Charlie Hereron. Great interest is shown by the pupils in the different subjects assigned them, and we hope to be again to the front when the entrance class is sent up this summer. COLLETT BROS.

' young men drink because it seems to be a brave thing to do. They feel a manly independence in it. As a matter of fact it is not courage, but cowardice, that leads many of them to it. Some one invites them to take a drink, and they are afraid to refuse, or there is a crowd about them and they do not want to seem timid. They think that to retain the respect of the crowd they must do as the crowd is doing. But probably the whole crowd is just following one or two leaders, and the real heart of the leaders may be only a coward's heart. These are the very times when principles are worth something, and when the man who says " I will not," stands out as the man of true courage. (To be continued next week) Westbank News. ( From our own' correspondent.) A most enjoyable dance was held last Friday in Strang's hall, at the townsite, under the able management of J. Strang and W. Allan. Violin music was supplied by Mr. C.

Will Fight Local Option By-lato. It is reported that the liquor interests of Glenboro,. Man., will appeal to the courts in an endeavour to have the local option by-law, which was carried there at the last municipal election, quashed. Their excuse for fighting it will be technicalities in the advertising and in the time limit for passing the by-law a third time by the municipal council. The by-law carried at the polls by a majority of 28 votes. House Dicu8868 Many Important Questions. During the past week many important items have been in discussion in the Legislature, prominent among which is an act amending the public schools act and medical inspections in public schools. A discussion was pursued at some length as to the advisability of abolishing the poll tax. It was pointed out that if this tax was abolished the Orientals would not be required to pay any tax at all, and the various' revenues derived from the collection of the tax would be such as would decrease the general revenue. The poll tax had always been used for the purpose of developing the schools, and it was decided that it was not time for the abolish- ing of such a tax. Wireless Phones to be Used. The Pacific Radio Company have pur- chased land from Alex. Watson of Victoria for the establishing of a wireless telephone station on Smith's Hill.

There is a vast district iu France where the entire community goes about and transacts us busluess on stilts. TblB district is called "l.es Landes." The Inhabitants, who ure among the poorest peasants in Frnm-e.. gain their subsistence by tisblug, by such little agriculture as Is possible and by keeping cows and sheep Tlie shepherds make use of their stilts for two purposes—first, because walking is quite impossible on account ot the sage and undergrowth of brush, and. second, because the height of their stilts gives them a greater range ot vision. The stilts generally are about six or seven feet high. Near the top there is a support for the fool, which has a strong stirrup and simp, and still nearer tbe top a baud ol leather fastens the stilt firmly io the leg just below the kuee. Some sillts, especially those made for fancy walking and for tricks, are even higher thnu seven feet, and the niau who uses these— and he must be an expert—can travel as fast as teu miles an hour. The lower end of this kind of stilt Is capped with a sheep bone to prevent its splitting. Some of these Landes shepherds are wonderfully clever iu ihe management of their stilts. U'hey run races, step or jump over brooks, clear fences and walls and are able to keep their balance and equilibrium while stooping to the ground to pick up pebbles or to gather wild flowers.

A TRIAL ORDER RESPECTFULLY SOLICITED LUDLOW & WRIGGLESWORTH We are adopting The McCASKEY ONE-WRITING SYSTEM for keeping our accounts. This system has been in successful operation for a number of years among the leading merchants of the country, who are unanimous in their endorsement of it. With this system we are enabled to give you an itemized bill with each purchase, which, you will readily see, prevents the possibility of any difference between you and us, as to the condition of your account with us, for we have no reccord of which you have not an exact copy, because all charges will be made in duplicate. In order to secure your hearty co-operation we furnish you with a sales-slip holder to hold our sales-slips, and wish to assure you that the appearance on each sales- slip of your total indebtedness to us has no personal application to you or to any other customers, but is merely a part of the successful operation of the system. Under this system the need tor sending out monthly statements is avoided, the last purchase slip issued in the month showing your total indebtedness to us. This amount is due and PfVable to us on the first day of the following month. It is therefore necessary that you get a slip with each purchase. . . We will gladly detail the working of the system to you if you should like it further explained It is a system that will appeal to anyone, as by it mistakes are made impossible. We thank you for past favors, and hope by careful attention to your wants to merit a continuance of your trade. Very truly yours, C. C. JOSSELYN The Man Who I3 Always Expecting Come Kind of Trouble. There is always a cloud on his face because he is constantly expecting that something unfavorable is going to happen. There is going to be a slump in business, or he is, gulug to have a loss, or somebody Is try'.ng to undermine him, or he is worried about his health, or fears his children will be sicl_ or go wrong or be killed. Ia other words, although he bas achieved quite a remarkable success, yet he has'never really had a happy day in his life. All his life this man bas beeu chasing rainbows, thinking If he could only get a little farther on. a little higher up, he would be happy, but he Is Just as far Iroin it as when a boy. I believe this condition has all come from tbe habit of uulmppiiiess which he formed during his hard boyhood and which he has never been able to overcome. He has learned to look for trouble, to expect it, and he gets It. 1 have been bis-guest many a time. He has a beautiful Uonie, a very charming wife, a most delightful family, but there is always the same cloud on bis face, tbe same expression ot anxiety, of unhhpplhcKs, of forebod ing.

The liquor bar on the Okanagan was closed down on February 1st, owing to an order' issued by the C. P. R., which states that all bars on the company's river and lake steamers will be abolished and the system of handling liquor which exists in the standard dining cars will be put in force. This brings the sale of liquor under the strict control of the management. Dr. Boyce and Mr. J. W. Jones have been appointed license commissioners, and Messrs. F. M. Buckland and D.

"It would be most rude to make a hideous noise before the sacred dead," came the soft reply. Bread and Pipe Baker. The lecturer at tbe cooking school sometimes enlivened ber remarks with an anecdote. "The eighteenth century baker," she •aid' "was a pipe cleaner as well, just as tbe barber a little earlier was a surgeon. Everybody in those days smoked clay pipes, provided the same as cops or spoons by the coffee bouses. Well, each morning a waiter carried bis master's stock of pipes, some hundred perhaps, to the nearest bakery. The baker would boll them, then dip them In liquid lime, then bake them dry. They came ont of the oven as sweet and white as new."' A number of the townspeople report a very enjoyable evening spent last Friday at a dance held at the home of Mrs. Renshaw.

In the morning the subject taken was that of ' Education,' the - speaker outlining the work of the Columbia college. In the evening Mr. Sippell preached on Christ's estimate of true values, the text being taken from the story of the widow at the treasury. One of the speaker's most touching remarks was " I would rather build a life than build a railroad — a remark which greatly impressed the large congregation assembled.

Owing to the floor having been newly oiled the dancing was not very good going, but still the majority of the people were determined to wear off ail the sticky oil, and with that endeavour kept dancing up until about five oclock Tuesday morning, thoroughly enjoying themselves. During the evening* a banquet was served in Raymer's small hall. On Tuesday afternoon a pedlar left a new patent alarm clock with Mr. J. Bouch, with an alarm guaranteed to go for 48 hours unless stopped. About twelve o'clock midnight the thing went off and there was no one there to stop it. Mr. Wilks, who lives next door, with only a thin partition between him and the clock, was awakened from his slumbers, and found it impossible to get to sleep again. He got up, dressed, and paced about the room. The alarm was bent on doing full justice to its 48 hour guarantee. Presently he pass- "j ed out into the street and like'' Matthias cried "The Bells!
