By law No. 93, for the fixing of the rate of taxation at 23$ mills, an increase of half a mill on last year was finally passed. Mayor Sutherland stated that Mr. E. Weddell, the owner of the land required for the opening of St. Paul Street through to Bernard Avenue, had had-a deed prepared and wished to be paid as soon as possible, as he -was leaving the city. Some doubt was expressed as to the advisability of paying for the land before the Court of Revision had been held. The extension had been advertised and no objection had been raised to the work as a local improvement. It'was decided to consult the city solicitor in the matter. iV '' The meeting was then adjourned until Wednesday morning at 10 a.m.. H The council met again Wednesday morning. The only business was the introducing of By-laws 95. and 96, which were local improvement by-laws for the construction of the cement and wooden sidewalks. These were given a first .and second'reading. _ •The meeting then adjourned until Saturday morning next. Weed Seeds in Imported Hay ■, A representative of the Record had a conversation the other day with Mr. C. E. Lawrence, of Kamloops, who is collecting data for the Commission of Conservation of the Dominion Government _i)!1_!!!_iiMiAii ,U .nnt conserve, said Mr. Lawrence, until it knew what needed conserving, and so the work has been divided under seven heads, Agri- >. culture being the one in which he was concerned. "I am after information direct from the agriculturalist himself. He has the opportunity of telling me all about his weeds, noxious insects, want of water, want of transpottation facilities, his own and hia neighbours' misdeeds, and anything else he considers a griev- ' ance and detrimental to his branch of the industry. I am happy to say complaints are a minimum, the importation of weeds being the greatest. - "I have to set before the Commission the opinion of the majority of agriculturalists that grain should be cleaned of all weed seeds by the grower before shipping. The same complaint is made of imporred hay which comes to the livery barns and is distributed thence in the manure. "This complaint seems to be < well founded, as many weeds quite new to the district are now flourishing finely in this genial climate. "1 had no idea," added Mr. Lawrence; " there was such a fine country between the lake and the mountains, and I enjoyed my drive on Tuesday immerisely. I used to think the Okanagan was boomed too much. I think if I lived here I might say as much as any of you, even if having no real estate to •ell." Canadian Northern Construction 7000 Men Required for Big Undertaking Within three months seven thousand men will be at work between Hope and Kamloops, contractors now being busy getting outfits on the ground. ■» The big task about to be undertaken will prove the largest since the construction of the' Canadian Pacific Railway, and will involve an expenditure of from $15,000,- 000, to $ 18,000,000. The proximity of the existing railway on the opposite bank of the Fraser will be a great factor in enabling the various sub-contractors to ship in men, supplies,, horses, and outfits including derricks,'steam shovels and tunnel boring plants. Within less than three months seven thousand men will be required as it is proposed to finish the entire contract within two years. In all, tunnels aggregating 'over three miles in length will: have to be driven. The two longest will be one of 2000 feet,near Yale arid another of 2,400 feet through Battle Bluff, Kamloops Lake. There will be many other tunnels ranging in length from 200 to 700 feet. • - The big tunnels will be driven by machinery, the plants working from both portals. The smaller tunnels will be drived by hand. It is expectdd that two years at least will be occupied iu completing the big bore at Batile bluff, in fact, the date of the completion of the entire division will hinge upon the driving! of the two long tunnels. It is noteworthy that all the subcontractors own their own outfits showing their capacity for handling big contracts. They will also operate their own commissary stores. The heavy character ofthe work is said tb offer exceptional opportunities to station men, individual small contractors who take sub-contracts from tlie sub-contractors for small sections of rock work rarigng from one to three hundred feet. It is the intention of the various contractors to farm out a good deal of work in that wajv Great Loss of Life in Ontario Fires The terrible bush fires which have wrought destruction and death in the Porcupine District of north- em Ontario have sent a thrill"of horror throughout the entire Dominion. The exact extent of the damage can only yet be roughly estimated, but it is certain that between 100 and 200 people have lost their lives. Several .towns and settlements have been completely wiped off the map. The district was a heavily-timbered mining country, and the flames once started, and fanned by a strong wind, spread with astonishing rapidity, enveloping the miners before warning could be given; Stories of the disaster are full of the most harrowing details of the struggles of unfortunate people to escape from the heat and smoke. Many rushed into the Porcupine lake and stood up to their necks in the water; but even there the heat was so intense that scores were overcome and drowned. Others fled into the wilderness to the northward, there to perish of starvation. Millions of dollars worth of property has gone up in smoke and thousands of people ate rendered homeless. Relief funds are being organized for the benefit of the sufferers and supplies are being rushed to the scene. The Royal Lilliputian Opera Co. are booked at the Opera House Monday and Tuesday, July 31st and August 1st, New Maps Issued for Preemptors In* accordance with the promise made by Hon. William R. Ross upon his acceptance of the administration of the Department df Lands, there are now almost ready for issue in the department the first four of a series of pre-emptors' maps bf available lands, surveyed, which await colonization and development by new agricultural settlers. These maps are based very largely upon the results of the activities oi the corps of surveyors who have been employed in opening up the north of British Columbia, where the' field forces have largely been concentrated of late years in consequence of the assurance of early facilities of communication for. these areas through Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Northern Pacific construction. The mapping of these districts had necessarily to await the con.pletion of surveys and this explains the non-appearance earlier of these eagerly-awaited documents. Of the maps now in hand, sheet one deals' with the localities ~ in Nechaco Township, and contiguous to the Stuart River; sheet two covers and delineates the locality of the; Blackwater. Both of these are now in the hands of the printers and shortly to be issued. Sheet three of rhe Fort George locality is almost complete, and sheet four, the Stuart Lake section, is well under way. The necessity for re-rrganization of the system of land surveys and classifications has long been recognized by the government. The obviously desirable changes require, time, but a beginning has been made by the revision of the' instructions'this season issued to the surveyors taking the field and. by the appointment of an inspector of surveys, in the;'person of Mr. W. S. Drewry, at "present engaged on a first official tour through. the Kootenays. Mosquitoes Bad Near the Coast. Accordingto a New Westminster report the FraserRiverValley is having a busy time with the mosquitoes just now. '■ A plague of these pests is interfering with haymaking. Berry-picking is much impeded through the same cause. Smudges ate smoking in Mission every dozen yards in the main street, while in the depot waiting-room two pails are burning green stuff continuously. Two cows were found dead in a field, blistered and disfigured to such an extent that it lo *«««■»* a * m_rl frhjhir «A_r*i*A ahina mon se ows sssswv^s — »«a**jr --—*»*_>»■%#— *»»«■*•« q ■••*■*«■• and fatally injured themselves. An old settler in Hatzic declares the pest the worst he has seen for twenty years. Kelowna to Have Squadron of B.C Horse. A meeting was held last Thursday evening in the offices of the Okanagan Loan and Investment Co. for the purpose of considering the organizing of a squadron of the B.C. Horse at Kelowna. It was decided to form a squadron tor the district with a total strength of about 74 men. Capt. G. H. Brush, of Kelowna, consented to take command. A further meeting is to be held to-night to arrange details. Seen the coronation ? No ? Then you didn't go to the Opera House last night when some good films showing the procession and the ceremony were thrown on the screen. The show is to be back again Saturday night. Better take your only chance of seeing the crowning of King George. Rev. O. E.Mathieu, father superior of Quebec University, Quebec, has been has been appointed by His Holiness the Pope to be bishop of the Regina diocese, which also embraces Southern Saskatchewan. .C. Baptists and Educational Work Many matters of importance not only to the denomination, but to the social, political and economic life of the province were discussed at the Baptist Convention which Thursday's Race Meeting The race meeting which took place last Thursday under the auspices of the new Racing and Athletic Club, although'drawing a large crowd of spectators, was a little has just closed its sessions at Van- disappointing in some respects. The meeting was arranged very couver. A large number of delegates were present, including the Rev. D. J. Welsh, who represented the Kelowna church. The educational work begun by the Baptists of British Columbia will not only be maintained, it was decided, but will be greatly enlarged. Okanagan College is to be maintained and enlarged according to the actionof the session, and is to get $30,000 within the next three years, receiving $10,000 on the first of each year. To forward this work a committee of seven were appointed to arrive at definite ways and means of procuring the funds. The committee named is as follows: G. J. Denriess, E. B. Morgan, Dr. L. M. McKecknie, C. M. Woodworth, Rev. D. J. Welsh, Dr. Sawyer and D. G. Williams. It was also agreed Saturday afternoon that the educational question pf the Baptist church 6f British Columbia will not be adequately settled until there is an institutiou established, especially for theological work. This institution, it was suggested, should be a theological seminary set up in the provincal university soon to be established. The convention expressed the hope of having the Okanagan College at Summerland recognized by the provincial university and have it made a fully accredited in-j, stitution. This was thought advisable because it is very centrally located for the west.and will be made one of the strongest of die colleges in this territory. Rev. D. J. Welsh, B.A., read the report of the committee of the Baptist Young People's Union session, in which he pointed put the wonderful progress made in the work, with the reasons why it should be maintained and carried on with added enthusiasm and vigor. Errors and Omissions Taking Census. in The census bureau has issued a statement which tends to show that the department is anxious to correct errors and omissions made by the enumerators. After explaining how mistakes are almost unavoidable in a work of such magnitude, the bureau invites the cooperation of the public in the matter, it asks that persons who believe or suspect that they are not included in the census to notify the chief officer of the census at Ottawa, giving their names and post-office addresses. Such letters to the department will be post free, and if it is found that the persons who write are not included steps will be immediately taken through the local officer to rectify the omission. Contractors Lose Money Coronation Stands. on En°rmou* sutnto of money were lost on spectarow stands built for the recent coronation processions. Vlthough exact figures are difficult to obtain, it is known that the losses practically spelled complete ruin for many builders of the more expensive stands. On coronation Day itself the stand owners did not do badly, as the main procession wasja better drawing card than the secondary one, and the route was barely a mile and a half long On'the day of the " Royal Progress," however, the route was nearly seven miles in length and seats lined practically its whole distance, Those for which five to six guineas ($25.20 to $30.24) apiece was originally asked, were sold generally at the last rnoment for three shillings (72 cents). It is estimated {hat the owners could not take less that $2.20 per seat without losing money. hurriedly, and very little notice given. In consequence, the entries were small and only a few races were run at all. The match race, the leading event of the day, was delayed for nearly two hours until some difficulty was adjusted as to the proper weight of Casorso's rider. Dr. Knox , and Messrs. Barlee and Lambley were selected as judges, and Mr. Cross, who is an experienced race man consented to act as official starter. Royal King, owned by Casorso Bros, proved too much for his jockey, .Walter Haynes, arid ran away a half .mile. Doi} E.. Fuller's horse, ridden by young Thompson was exceptionally aood at the start After some more delay the horses were off, Don E. gaining the lead at the first eighth of a mile, and won easily. The' pony race was a contest all the way, Haynes winning first money. The harness race between Mr. J. Cameron's favorite and Gillis Hunjford's Bob Casey was easy for Jack. The quarter-mile race between Pinkie, A. Albers* sorrel horse, and another good runner, was a close contest, Pinkie winning by half a length under the expert piloting of Alwyn Weddell. y The second heat, of thej^rtatch racks; was disappointing; The starter was instructed by Felix Casorso to let them off first chance even if Royal King was behind, fearing another runaway. Don E. leading at the start quickly increased his lead and again won. easily. The poor start caused considerable uproar amongst the spectators. Mr. Lambley who rode Royal King at Pentictpn wanted to call it no race. Mr. Barlee agreed with him, but Dr. Knox felt that he was duty bound to give the race to the horse that came in first, after receiving an official start and concluding the heat with no faults. The total receipts from the meet- were about fifty dollars, half of which will go to the up-keep of the track and the rest to expenses arid prize money. Owing to some apparent dis- contint with the judges* dicision in the second heat of the match race Dr. Richards wrote, after the races to Mr. Wellman, the principal judge at the Minora Park racecourse, Vancouver, and explained the circumstances. The answer was wired back last night and read "Don E. the winner; no doubt about decision." Election Rumors. The Dominion Parliament resumed work on Tuesday after the adjournment taken to enable Sir Wilfrid Laurier tp attend the Imperial Conference and Coronation ceremonies. The belief ia expressed in both parties that a general election is probable within six weeks at die latest after the session opens. Sir Wilfrid Laurier states that he would welcome an appeal to the people on the reciprocity pact and is sure that it will pass. The impression is that the general elections will be held during the last week in September. Parliament will sit for three or four weeks, dissolving about the middle of August. The date of voting will then be fixed for the interval between the end of harvest and the arrival of the Duke of Connau- ght as governor general. His Royal Highness will reach Montreal on October 12th and the government wants to have the business well over, and things running smoothly by that time. The signing of the dissolution order is likely Earl Grey's last important act in Canada. to be official Rutland News. From our own corretpondent. . Mr. H. E. J. Amyot has engaged N. Rogers to assist him in his orchard work. The concert organised by the Baptist congregation last Thursday for the purpose of raising funds for* the purchase of an organ proved a big success. The schoolroom was crowded to its fulll;apacity. Several rigs full of Kelowna people drove out in the afternoon and evening, the fine weather making their trip a most enjoyable one. Ice-cream and strawberries were served in the afternoon under the shade of the pine trees, a large number of people being, present to share in the fun. . The evening concert should have been presided over by Mr. A. W. Dalgleish, but in his unavoidable absence Mr. J. B. Knowles took the chair. The following programme was rendered:— Part 1 1.

Some trouble has been caused residents on Bernard Avenue by the discovery, when the line was being laid for the new cement sidewalk, that their fences had been placed from six to nine inches on the street. Some soreness was felt about having to move them, — but what's the use ? It's the law. The Rev. A. W. K. Herdman returned Monday from Vernon. The winning of the half - mile race at Penticton on July 1st should should have been credited to G. E. Fuller's horse, "Don E.," he having won the second and third heats.

The Englishman or American lo Portugal who thinks In his own l*_n< goafs and tries to speak In tbe language of the country he Is visiting is "a igreat' smile producer. For Instance, you never marry any* body In Portugal unless—strange parados—yon happen to be a priest You scarry "with" your beloved Maria, and bie priest •mnrrlp you both. In the same way you never dream about anybody,-but always "with" them. Whenthe landlady at your boarding bouse Is ladling out your soup you Call Mt? "Arrive." You ere telling her to arrive at tbe stopping point—ln other words, that you don't want more than she has put out. When, you see a child that you want to fondle at the ether side of the room you say to her, -••Arrive.here." And the.child promptly "arrives." In England when w^ speak of walking we refer to a certain use of the legs. But the Portuguese verb "to Walk" has many more significations.

Advertising tales upon application. Items from Ellison (From our own correspondent.) Mrs. Bulman and daughters are going to Winnipeg for the summer. People are looking round our benches for improved farms, and big prices are being refused. The experts say that if they had land like ours in the fruit-growing districts of America it would be $2,000 per acre instead of $1,000, yet the best land here can be bought for half that price. Our Mr. Whitaker is taking charge of the organ at the Methodist Church at Rutland during the absence of Mr. Clarke who has gone to the coast to recuperate. THE PRODIGAL PORKER. Now a certain man had a drove of pigs, and one of them said unto his mother, " Behold, this valley wherein we live is dry, and the herbage is scant, therefore will 1 hike out and rustle for myself, lest the herdman, even he that is called Jack, sticketh me with a knife and so cause thee, my dear mother, much sorrow ; " and he departed during the silence of the night watches into a far country. And a certain man named " Mikus " had a ranch on the road that leads from Kel-ow-na to Vernon, in the north country; and the land of that ranch exceeded in fatness, so that the porcine prodigal said unto himself," Ha ! Ha !! here will I dwell and grow fat, and pass away my life in ease and good living. Now " Mikus " spread the news around that a strange porker had joined his drove in the meadow of clover; and the word coming unto Jack in the valley called " Dry," he went over and said : " 1 think the pig is mine; yes. I'm sure the pig is mine; therefore will 1 cut it and put my mark on his ear. And he did so, but he left the quadruped to feed on the fat lands of his neighbour" Mikus," which was a rich thing to do. Now when the harvest days came, "Mikus," who doeth all things generously, said unto his household and menservants : "Verily, after the hay is safely gathered in I will make unto you a feast, and there shall be much meat, Irish lemons, pies, cakes ar.d fruits of the earlh that may be in season, and lots of good stuff to wash it down. Then spake up one of his hired servants, even he that bloweth into a bag and hollow sticks, thereby making the sweet sounds so dearly loved by the hardy men men who weareth the kilt instead of pants, " Let us kill the fatted pig, even the stranger pig, for he is fat and juicy and we, the servants of the household, like lucious pork better than tough beef. And " Mikus" said " Yea, it shall even so be." And the final scenes in the life of the prodigal are now close at hand. The Coming Regatta A meeting of the management of the Aauatic Association was held Tuesday evening last to make final arrangements for the forthcoming Regatta which is to be held on Wednesday and Thursday August 9th and 10th. The programme as arranged shows many improvements and additions over last year. Excursions will be run from outside points both days of the Regatta. On Wednesday a train will leave Enderby at 7 a. m. bringing visitors from that place and Armstrong and Vernon, etc,, who will return from Kelowna about 8 o'clock in the evening. On Thursday there will be a similar excursion from Penticton and points down the lake. A great convenience will be found in the fact that the fare and a third will be good for five days.

Canadian Government Annuities system which highly commends itself to every person, is that a man who is middle aged enjovs equal advantages with the man who starts at a younger age, for he may; by the payment of a lump sum equivalent to the total amounts which hewould have paid had he entered at the earlier age, go on from his present age at the same rate as if he had begun at an earlier age. For example, a man of 40 who has decided to purchase an annuity of $500 pays $1,593.25, which is the equivalent of what he would have paid during the years from 20 to 40. He will now continue to pay $50.05 each year until he is 60, instead of $167.10, which is the rate which a man entering at 40 would have to pay for an annuity of $500 to begin at 60. A school teacher who has just called in a twenty year endowment policy has made the application of this amount on a $500 annuity contract,' a most provident dispos-1 ition of a portion of his money. If he dies before he is sixty, the total amount which he pays up to the time of hi3 death with 3 per cent, compound interest will be returned to his legal representatives. A supply of interesting literature concerning the Annuities Scheme mav be had on application to the Superintendant of Government Annuities, Ottawa to whom letters go free of postage.

Representations are being made to the government by the people and interests of Barkerville, B. C. with a view to securing the removal of that historic townsite to some adjacent district in which it will be less liable to overflow by flood. This action is ih consequence of the reputed failure of the bulkhead which has been under construction and repair during five years past, to retain the turbid waters of Williams creek when, as at this season of the year, they are swollen by the contributions of the melting snows on the mountains. A fortnight ago Barkerville was thoroughly washed out by such a flood, several children narrowly escaping being carried away and considerable inconvenience together with much excitement being caused. .

Old gui-lleuK!.] of the period just after tlio war will tell you sadly that there are uo such shots as there used to be. In this connection It is Interesting lo note that $1,000 was wagered against $100 tbat the champion of the world could uot hit a hundred eousec- ulive birds. Many amateurs, uot to speaU of professionals, frequently make such a score without arousing (omtueut in these days. Captain Bo- Kiirdus was to be allowed, three'trials. If he lost the first two aud made the third the money was his, and, by the way, be used a twelve gauge, full clioko, ten pound gun, and his load w;is five drams of black powder with No. !) shot, lie loaded his own sheila or bad tbem loaded according to his directions. Wblle shooting In England his load was challenged by oue of his defeated rivals, who asserted that the chum- piou's phenomenal scores were Ihe resit!! of bis superior shells. The cap- tiiin suggested that ln their next match botli contestants should use his ammunition, to which the Englishman eagerly consented. The captain was di lighted, for well he knew what would happen to (he action of the light aud delicate English gun under sucb a charge. Before the match bad proceeded very far tbe Britisher withdrew—for massage. .nth the invention and success of tbe ball tossing machine n craze for ridii ulously high scores swept the country. Five thousand balls in 500 minutes. 5.194 out of 5.500. iu seven hours and twenty minutes—these were some of the stunts that delighted the hearts of the gun people of that day One man. the English crack.

" EDITING AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. Strenuous Times In Getting Out an Early French Work. Many adventures befell the French eighteenth century encyclopedia. Moiv than oueo the production of that work, regarded by 'authority as revolutionary, had beeu stopped, eight days of imprisonment in the Bastille for the printer being one incident. At the very last inomei/t, after Diderot had corrected the Until proofs, the printer aud his foreman secretly slashed the articles right and left, cutting out everything tbat seemed even possibly dangerous, and burned the manuscript Diderot discovered the atrocity too late when referring to oue of his own mutilated articles. But the uiost remarkable point is that for years very few persons knew of what had happened, even tbe contributors remaining in Ignorance. They hud had enough of their own articles wheu writing them. Voltaire tells a pleasing story of Louis XV.'s conversion to the merits of tbe encyclopedia, according to the Loudon Chronicle. The talk one iiight at a Trianon supper turned" ou sport and theuce to gunpowder, as to the composition of whlcb the party could not agree. Mine, de Pompadour lamented their all round Ignorance. For Instance, she herself did uot know what her rouge was made of or how her' silk hose were manufactured. " 'Tls a pity," said the Due de la Val- Here, "that his majesty confiscated our encyclopedias, which cost us 100 pistoles." The king recalled that be had a copy, and three valets were sent for the tweuty-oue volumes and staggered back with seven each. Gunpowder, rouge, silk stockings, were all found there. Some found answers to legal problems that' troubled them. Thf king discovered the rights of his crown set forth, and ln bis satisfaction be allowed tbe confiscated copies to be returned.

Frequently she does uot even know her husband's name. If she becomes a Christian and receives baptism she acquires a wyne, and this mnst give ber quite a new sense of dignity." ■ Nothing to Do but Loaf. i The most unfortunate man Is tbr one who gets lip In the morning wltl1 notblng to do and all day to devote tc It.—Chicago Record'Herald.
