W. Strickland manager of the Bank of Monti ��al, and president of the Nicola Va'- ley Agricultural and Horticultural Association addressed the city council\" on Monday night, making an eloquent plea for assisstance for the association to offset the deffciency of $160 in the last year. Mayor Reid and the councilmen gave him to understand that they would do the best they could if there should be a surplus, and\" Mr. Strickland said that he was entire willing to leave the matter in their hands. Mr. Strickland said: \"I am here on behalf of the Nicola Valley Agricultural ahd Horticultural Association. I suppose you have read iu the newspapers the account, of our last meeting, and that there was a deficiency of $160 for the year. This was due not to the lack of work by the board of directors, but it was due to the lack of in-. J-etv>pt shown by the people of the district. You all will agree with knew about the surplus. Mr. John said that he thought action ought to be deferred untli the council knew about the surplus. He said that the grant asked for was for a good cause and the association should be helped. Then he moved that the matter go over until the next regular meeting, This was seconded by Mr. Irvine and the motion carried. Mapor Reid then arose and addressed Mr. Strickland, telling him that he was sure that the feeling was unanimous among the aldermen that if at all possible they would do something for the agricultural association. He said that that was his feeling, too. and that he would do all he could to have done something worth while. Mr. Strickland responded by saying that he was quite satisfied to leave the matter in the hands of the council.

The exhibition has been held here each year and that has brought Vou considerable optside money. \"In the present case we have a moral right to ask this honorable body for assisstance to offset the deficit. This last year fcne fair showed an increase in many ���.ways and in others it showed itself behind all seasons. Another tning chat might be said in explanation of the falling off was that it was due to the action of the pound keeper regarding stock which he put in pound, stock belonging to neighbors up the valley and they made no bones about it that no exhibit was due to that account. This was unfortunate although the pound keeper were within his rights. His action certainly hindered a-number-of exhibits in the live stock line. \"I ask consideration at your hands, and I do not think you could end up your yearly career by doing better than to pass a substantial grant as a New Year's gift to an association worthy the action. I thank you for your attention in listening to me.\" Mayor Reid then asked the City Cierk Harry Priest if a grant had-been made the association in the summer. Mr, Pries'; explained that no grant had been made, but that the matter had been left oyer for action if the city had a surplus at the end of the year. He said that jt would onlyybe a few days when he would!know what the city would have. Mr. Gordon said that- the association-was a great, thing and certainly benefitted the country at large, but added 'that it was hard to do anything even for such an. association when there was no money to do anything with, w; . Mr. Irvine said that the question of money had come up before, and that someone^'wanted to give $50, but he* said 'that at the time if��the council could do no better than that it was better lo do riothin-r.

They have come to the conclusion that it is a great growing power for good in the development of the boys. The Tenderfoot Badge is granted by_ the Local Assoeia- tion on the recommendation of the Scoutmaster. It is worn in the buttohole of a coat, or left pocket buttonhole of the uniform shirt. Before being awarded a Second class Scout's badge, a Tenderfoot must: Have at least one month's service as a Tenderfoot. Have a knowledge of elementary first aid and bandaging.

Mayor Reid thought that the motion would have to be made by the man who moved the original resolution and nothing was said for. a moment, but when neither Aid. John who made the original motion, \"nor Aid. Gordon who seconded it, took action, Mayor Reid appealed to Mr, Grimmett, and Mr. Grimmett said that to reconsider a motion it was only necessary that the motion be made by | one who had voted in the affirmative, and that as all the conncil had voted for. it, any aldannan * could make a motion. Then Aid. Irvine made the motion,, and Aid. John talked about haying made the same motion at the previous meeting, but he was told that his motion had'notbeenpassed -'and'theif he seconded Aid. Irvine's motion which was passed unanimously. Then Mayor Reid suggested to Aid. Irvine that he might bring up.his motion granting the removal of Spring street, but Aid. Irvine said that as long as the original action had been rescinded he did not see that there was any request from anybody for moving Spring street, and, therefore,, there was nothing to grant. Mayor , Reid again asked him about moving Spring street, but Aid. Iryine again replied that he did not see that.there was anything to. be done., about Spring street. :������.-,.

Aid. Gordon agreed with him, but Aid. Irvine said that \"if we give them good quarters that may stave off the putting up.of the other building\" The mayor did not agree with him and then Aid. John spoke in favor of offering the building. Aid. Irvine wanted to know what official had asked for the priviledge of using the city, hall, and the deputy registrar explained that no one had asked for the priviledge. Then Aid.

HESLOP, Prop THE PEOPLE WIN The people of Merritt have shown their p.wer. The city council last Monday night rescinded by a unanimous vote the resolution unanimously passed by them at a previous meeting giving their consent to the closing of Mamette avenue and a parallel alley from Spring street to the river. The Nicola Valley News congratulates the city council for it's good sense in heeeding the v Sice of the people even though they should not have had to have heard it to teach them their duty. The Nicola Valley News feels that it has accomplished something for Merritt in being the means of making the will of the psople known after first telling the people what the council had done. The Nicola Valley News stands for the people, and it will not have their interests sacrificed no matter how good the intentions of any official or officials maybe. Hell is paved with good intentions. The Nicola Valley News has nothing to explain about its articles on \"the Mamette avenue case\", and it has nothing to take back. It told the truth. It will continue to tell the truth. It will piay no favorites, Mr. Grimmett found it neces-' sary to explain at the council meeting : last Monday night his part in the affair. He also took occasion to criticise the editor of the Nicola Valley News. Mr. Grimmett iii doing this showed as much good judgment, asjbe showed in the part be played; in ' 'The Mamette avenue case.'' ;He said he was not acting: for the Conklins, and next moment he said he had given them advice, When did they become his clients? If they where riot his clients why should he give them advice? - The Nicola Valley News never did Mr; Grimmett any injustice. It simply printed the news, and it is going to continue to print the news even though city officials go so far as to break their word to keep the Nicola Valley News from getting the news. Mr. Griramett's speech before the City council was an attempt to split hairs. Mr. Irvine also had something to say. He said that the Nicola Valley News 8houldikeepit8=\"nab'-out-of-af- fairs that do not concern it. Well, the actions of the city council do concern it because they concern the people, Mr. Irvine echoed Mr, Grimmett's peevish remark about an \"imported\" edi tor. Mr. Irvine played \"follow leader\" in \"the Mamette avenue case\" and ie sorry he did. Mr. John, too, had to make a speech. He was sorry, so sorry, oh, so sorry, for what the Nicola Valley News had done. If the Nicola Valley News did not tell the truth, why did Mr. John vote to reverse his own action and that of the city council? Why should the Nicola Valley News be denounced because it awoke the city council to its duty to the people? City officials should remember that they are the servants of the public, not the masters. Alderman Jackson had something to say about the editor, but he had his say in a couple of barrooms, Mr,; Jackson might do well to remember that there is no place on earth where jus^ tice is more certain than in Canada and that if a man trespass upon the rights of another too often he will have to answer to the law. The Nicola Valley News again, wants to repeat that it has nothing, to explain about what it has said on \"the Mam- ette_avenue case\" and that it has nothing to_take'__acU. It served the people and is going to continue to serve the people. This city is no private preserve, and the Nicola Valley News does not serve any individual or interest for selfish ends. Merritt has advanced in spite of certain interests^and_will.continue to dp so. Many a man has been arrested because he had been frequenting a barroom, and because he was supposed to be drunk, although he showed no more evidences of drunkenness than a man who had been at a club or in a private house. Because a man has been ina saloon is no more evidence that he is drunk than that a man who is sick, made himself ill by eating a horse because a saddle was found uuder his bed. Many a man would not go into a soloon if he had any other place to go. Men who run barrooms are just as good men as those who are in some other v business, and they do not want to sell liquor to a drunken man, but it is often hard to tell when a man is drunk either by the amount he hascon- sumed or the stagger in his walk A bartender cannot always judge when a man is \\drunk or not. However this maw be, a man who sojourns in a saloon is prejudged no matter how little he may care about going to a saloon. The human animal likes\\v to have a place where he can go\\to for one reason or another and vhe will go V, to a saloon if he have lno other place to go. He likes the company of his fellows and he), is going to have it���have it in a saloon if there be no other place for him. \\ A good substitute for the. saloon has been discovered by some towns. It is the establishment of a rest room. The rest room is established as a place of cheer and comfort for men in leisure or unemployed hours. Merritt- has many such men, and they must either go to a' barroom or sit about the hotels, or remain in their rooms many of which are hardly attractive even to sleep in. Unthinking men say. \"Well, why do they drink?\" That question has\\ been asked for centuries and will be asked for centuries, but the drinking habit the result of no place to go but a saloon, can be reduced by providing other places to! go. And this is all the more \\triie, in a small city like Merritt)\\ Single miners, ranchmen and ''others, must come to town on occasions. A They can- not live with theh;v work at all times. They have no clubs, and if'they could.\"join a\\ club, they would not want to climb upstairs in hab-nailed boots and{\"mix up\" with \"fellows in white ^collars.\" What they want is a place on the ground floor where they ^can go and find people of their own calling or acquaintance, smoke or chew, read the newspapers and magazines, and feel at homa,1 They are not looking for charity, or a 'place to^be \"saved\", but merely for a place where they can meet their comrades, come in out of the storm, and have the comforts the saloon furnishes in a way, regardless of the chance to drink. The supplying of these needs by a rest room would make it a success. At present the barroom fills a ���spcLal.gap���thM.���*_,h__be_fiJl__i_by. New roads under construction and in project are going to result in marvelous development in this province in the next few years. It has been said that no other province is doing more road work at this time. Territory for the tiller of the soil cannot be made of much productive value without roads, The prospective settler is discouraged. He does not see his way clear to market the products he is very certain the land will grow. The roads being built and the other roads planned will encourage the settler. If the province had more good roads thc rural population would be greater than it is today. Of coursf such improvements cannot 'be made at once. We do things as we can afford to do them. Now we seem to have reached a point in our development were road building on an extensive scale is economically wise. For many years the chief interest in this and other provinces has been the construction' of railroads. They opend up new country and prepared the way for settlement. Now it is recognized that to get the most out of the transportation facilities even now offered by railroads, we must have more and better wagon roads leading from much fine country toMie places touched by the railroads. BACK OF PUBLICITY It is well to make known both far and. near all the resources and advantages that a region possesses. Intelligent advertising is about 'the only effective means of bringing about the coming in of new people to a place and building up with their new money and new energy. But \"well begun\" is only \"'half done\", if it be even this. There must be the improvements and attractions at the place that advertises that will hold and; reward the newcomers. The neglect of this practical consideration costs clear. Y Wfor SALE Thoroughbred Airedale puppY for sale. Dogs $L5,������ \"bitches $10 Apply E. Conant. Dot. B. C. something much worse���such as a gambling hell. The need of a substitute for the saloon -, is universally felt, but seldom supplied. The rest room if developed along broad lines, would become an institution of great social helpfulness. All men cannot find a substitute in the moving picture Bhow, although many of them do where the shows are open all day. It would be a sign of progress if a city should establish a rest room. A vacant store would do, and it could be flitted up_by popular subscription and the aid of the business men and even the barroom proprietors themselves. Where a town has newspapers and a club or two, it wouldibe an easy thing to'get reading matter such as magazines and newspapers. A collection box in the room would not remain unfilled, and the money could be used to employ a caretaker. Whereto goland'lwhat to do is theilproblem of_the!eingle or lonesome man in a small city. And the men��of_this_class whorJare in Merritt'when.the.'.areJnoCwork- ing. are worthy of consideration the'flame.as.are their employes, for without them and their labor progress would h_.lt.

Solicitor for the Bank of Montreal PIONEER BARBERSHOP Says His Automobile was Damaged Because of the Water Pipes Left in Road Harold Greig*, real estate and financial broker, was at the meeting of the city council on Mon** day night, in accordance with a letter he wrote to that body as follows: ' 'I herewith make claim against the corporation of the city of Merritt for the sum of $116, being the damage done to one of my automobile tires on the evening ofi'the 26th day \"of December 1912 and within city limits. My reason for this claim is in brief as follows: , ''That the corporation of the city of Merritt did have on the 26th day of December 1912, between the hours of seven and eight p. M., city water pipes distributed and exposed without any protection.'whatsoever, on Nicola avenue between J- A. Menzies' store and Dr. Tutill's house; also that.said waterworks pipes',were dangerously placed on the public highway and were a menace \"'to the traveling public, thus causing damage-to my automobile to the extent of $116. \"I also', T-y.ish to state, gentlemen, that_Lwill appear in person accompanied by three witnesses, at your council meeting of the 30th inst., to discuss with you and prove to you that my claim in question should be paid.\" Mayor Reid asked , the council what it wanted to doin this case, and Aid. Gordon said. that the city ought to have decided upon the width pf a road. He said that in the case in question there was eighteen feet clear open road. He said he visited the scene next morning and measured it along with several others. He said the pipe was not sixteen feet from where the pipe should go. He added: \"They claim that sixteen feet is- allowed, biit I do not know.'' ��� Aid. Irvine asked Mr. Grimmett for his opinion - on this and Mr. Grimmett;said that he did riotknow, to which Aid, Irvine answered that he understood that in cities ,one:third of the street was allowed. Mr. Grimmett replied that Y'off hand\" he would say that the road would be all; right if a reasonable space, were left' board of works and the city solicitor shoould take up the question with Mr. Greig. Aid. John said that he understood that Mr. Greig had a drawing to submit, and Aid, Cowley made a motion along the lines suggested by Mayor Reid, but Aid. John continued talking and said that he thought it only fair that Mr. Greig should have a chance to explain and Aid.Cowley said he should, have a chance to explain after the board of works had seen it, and he made his motion again and Aid. John seconded it, and it was carried. Mayor Reid then told Mr. Greig he had better meet the committee, as it would be impossible for the council at the meeting to reach result. a satisfactory $651,859 worth of cream, and in return'paid $412,076 fo imported butter from the same quarter. These facts point a moral, but are no adornment to a tale which does not require to be repeated. In fact, they prove beyond controversy that our farmers are doing their duty neither to themselves nor to the country of which they form a part; and it is hoped that this expose will put a stop to a repetition of this kind of unequal trading, over which our agriculturists have supreme control���Calgary News-Telegram. o . Mrs. E. J. Rhodes of Canford presented her husband with a fine boy last week. Unnecessary Trading R. ROBB, the member for Huntingdon, in the house of commons, has done a good service to Canada in a series of questions which he put on agri- cnltural export and imports; and the replies should enter into the most serious consideration of the dairymen and farmers of the west. The figures which follow are all for the twelve months ended the 31st of October of this year, and are beyond dispute, but well within criticism against our agriculturists, who are to blame for no. supplying those needs which had to be filled by the United States farmers, who never mi.s a chance of getting the maximum out of this dominion and returning the barest minimum. Iti the period named, Canada exported to the United States 712,084 gallons of cream, valued at $651,859. This was talkng the cream of the country with a vengeance. Canada imported 6.115.694 pounds of butter, the duty paid on which amounted to $195,398. Of this, amount 1,479, 735 pounds came from the United States, at the cost o. $412,076. From the United States 1,742, 789; bushels of oats, on. which there was paid in duty $12,633, enterd' Canada. The United States sent 4,927,473 bushels of wheat valued at $4,922,628, - into this Dominion. On this wheat duty was paid amounting to $23, 691. . Y To summarise, 'we had to import 6,670,259 bushels of bats and wheat from the United States, on which we paid $36,324 in duty; LAND ACT Yale Land District. District of Yale.

CY Branch: - Ashcroft, B. C. concluded: \"He should keep his 'nab' out of matters that do . not concern him.\" Then Aid. - John arose. He said what whatever the board of alderman had done was done \"unbiased.\" He said that he felt sorrry that criticisms had ' been made. He did not think it was right to have made them, j He said that the people had not I . been at the meeting to see what was going on, and that the action had been misrepresented. He said that he had \"posed\" for the best interests of the city and that he had not voted to give the city's property away, He said that he would not be an alderman any more because he would not stand the abuse of newspapers for he was \"just as good as them.\" He said that \"after all it was not worthy of that editor.\" He said: \"No doubt we have made mistakes, but we learn by making mistakes.\" He concluded: \"1 am sure thaj; Mr. Grimmett-\" What else he said could not be understood at the press table, but it was only a few words. The;press table is so situated that if a man address the mayor as he should his back is \"to the press table. If it must be back of any one it should be backcof the mayor. Mayor Reid announced that he thought it was only right that ; Mr. Grimmett should place himself in the proper light before the council and the citizens. Those at the meeting besides the mayor, and aldermen, the -city solicitor, and city clerk, and the press representatives,- were VA. W. Strickland, Thomas Hesp, Constable Eagar Vachon, J. C. Conklin, Harold Greig, A. S. .Howes, and Captain Stephenson. i 'Alderman Jackson indulged in irresponsible peanut ranting about the editor of the Nicola ^-Valley News, but this-forum cwas not council the chamber. * < ��� y* '���$&*:��� W?i::~ T.t 'im i r 5 - if m US fix the sidewalk \"this side\" \"Of the laundry, and Mayor Reid said there were a couple other places which needed attention, ���;and,Mr. Gordon said he. had these things on his mind, but everything could not be done at once, things would be attended to a3 soon as possible.\" It is hoped that the next city , counpil will place the press table somewhere else besides behind the city clerk. It is a bad position bo far \"as hearing is concerned. . iYvifielius Jarvis and company of Toronto \"sent a letter to this city council regarding the deb- -entuies, saying that the market . had grown worse for the selling of municipal bonds, but that next^spring���thi ngs ^probablyw would be; better. A letter applying: for the position of fireman was read from Ant-iony; Jacques and received 'arid filed for further consideration. ; It was asked by the Mayor if there were any other applications,; and City Clerk Harry Priest said there was an application f irom Thomas Hesp. Mr. M. A. Cleasby wrote a letter saying that'fences on lots 53 and 24, block 28/had been removed and asked,that she be allowed $10 damages and also asked by what right the city council removed them. City Clerk Harry Priest said that no motion had been;made to remove them. Aid. John said that he had made the motion.' Aid.

Irvine -reported that the '\"* bricks for the boilers in the vltyoiork Harry Priest said that an attempt would be made to. have the car spotted so as to save expense, but as it was not a full ear he did not know whether the railroad would act. The city clerk read a letter' from Ducane Dutcher and company, signed by H. K. Dutcher in regard to the in-i spallation of the power plant. After I telling about sending men to watch the ; work at the ulant Mr. Dutcher spoke .' ii'iout three weeks more delay in re, ; gai'd to 11 o engine and the generator. 1 lo sai-J Lhat were it not for the extra expense and because it would be impossible to get an engine elswhere to'save time he would cancel the order. He said that the man who was going to be in charge of the power house should work nnder their Mr. Hall who would be.here fora month in order that the iocal man might know all about the installation of the plant. He inclosed a copy of the contract with the Canadian (Jeneral Electric campany which seems tp have been mislaid here, and said that payments shonld be made only atter the complete plant had arrived. Mr. Dutcherpromised to come here him ������elf and said that the council should realize that the delay in getting the engine here was no fault of the engineers. He said that he knew how small towns felt and their disapointment when their electric light service was delayed. The letter: was ordered filed. The aldermen had\\ to, wrestle with subdivision plans. The board of works reported on that of Robert Brown and after much discussion -as to blind alleys and as to what the by-law* on alleys realjy. meant, the . pi an, .was ordered withdrawn as that seemed to be thej desire of the owner if the plans could not be accepted. The Vogl'jt homestead plans also were up again aiid the board reported, and Aid.; Irvine said that the alley regulation were not compleid with. Aid.* John said the plan alright as he had maintained at the previous '^meeting. Aid. John's view was opposed by Aid: Gordon in addition to Aid Irvine -fr. 'Grimmett explained that the bylaw said nothing about blind alleys and then Aid Cowley and Mayor Reid entered the discussion. Aid Irvine\\\\said that if the plan was accepten the ^city- would have blind alleys all over. Once more the case pfj. P. Boyd's .plans was brought up and again the mayor he\"d that he did not think they should have been refused. There said tne\"cbmmftt5e^repurto dkuicu to be rejected. Aid. Irvine said he did not agree with Aid. Jackson and that he thought the reports had generally been accepted. Then Aid. Jackson moved a new committee be appointed, but no one seconded his motion and the original Irvine motion was carried. The council accepted the plans for the re- division of the Jones' subdivision. Another Conklin plan which was changed to meet requirments also was accepted. ... A petitiou dated December 27th was read from the residents of the eas? ward protesting against the pound which has been 'established there. None of the Aldermen could throw much lighto.n this new pound Aid. John said that considerable expense had been incurred for building and he did not see how it could be moved.' Aid. Irvine declared the location no place for cattle and dogs and said that this situation was not right. On the motion of Aid, Gordon and the second of Aid. Jackson the matter was referred to the board'of works, and Mayor Reid remarked that \"the whole pound matter will have to be tak'an up and settled in a very short time. When Mayor Reid asked if the com- mittee'which was to hold a conference with the fire brigade in regard do the establishment of fire zones and alarms, had a report, Aid. John said that it had not hebrd from the fire brigade in re- g'ard to the meeting. The mayor asked if it would not be well then for the committee to communicate with the fire brigade. ' Aid. -Irvine said that he had seen the fire chief and that 'the chief told him'hie would notify ahe aldermen when the firemen were ready to meet them. He asked the mayor if he thought the aldermen ought to shove the matter and the mayor told' him he thought so, and advised him to arrange for a meeting of the committee and ask the firemen to attend it as it was an important matter. ..
