In the district fruit exhibits, Kel-
owna won first place, Vernon second

agriculture throughout the province,

greatest interest to the people of Brit

government of collection of histor-
ical photographs and paintings, with
numerous old books, maps and pioneer
newspapers, and rare collection OF
Indian curios, which with the unwilling

government, and operated from 1860
to 1864.

WASHINGTON STATE FAIR.

Attendance at the State Fair this
year exceeded all previous records.
The exhibition also excelled all pre-
vious displays by the society, and was
excellent in all the departments. In
many classes competition was exceed
ingly keen, and the rivalry between
the Sound country and the Inland EN-
pire section was strong in several OF
the products of agriculture. The next
Legislature will be asked to appropri-
ate 100000 to add to it's buildings and
improvements so as to secure greater
capacity and value.

A small display of grain from the

The Livestock
THAT the farmers of British Columbia
fully appreciate the Importance of high

the large showing in this department
and in the attention the horses, cattle,

department. with the Jerseys, esteemed
for the richness of their milk, along
with Ayrshires, Herefords and Gallo
ways, all of which have their admirers
among farmers and breeders.
The District Exhibits.
The display which most forcibly
showed the agricultural resources OF
this country was the district exhibits
in the Agricultural building. Here were
fruits of every variety, perfect in form,
color and flavor, vegetables of enor-
nous size and grains of the finest quail
ity, all of which yield most abundantly
in the fertile Fraser valley.
The Surrey exhibit, which won the

j. G. Clipp, editor of the Industrious
Hen, was called from his Indiana home
to judge the poultry. Both in quantity
and quality, he found birds he had

the show was a "four-man show"
meaning that there should be that
many judges.

NOTICE SERVED ON

On Monday notice was served on the

ness in the Mendlik q Mulholand block
in this city, requiring them to either
pay license of $25. 90 day as required
by the city ordinance in the case Of tran
sient merchants, or to furnish bond to
the city in the sum of $500 to cover the
amount of the license fee in case they
should not become permanent merchants.
The firm assert their intention of re-
naming permanently in the city and
have retained attorneys to take care of
their interests in the matters referred to
in the notice. They refuse to pay the
license fee or furnish the bond request
ed. 1t is understood that a number of
the merchants of the city are insisting
quite strenuously that the City Attorney
compel the new firm to either pay the
license fee or furnish the bond, but thus
far no steps have been taken in the mat
tel other than the serving of the notice
mentioned above.

DOCKET ENTRIES MUST STAND.

Judge Kirwan, in decision handed
down last week, holds that the entry of
Justice of the Peace in his docket con
stitutes court record which cannot be
contradicted by outside evidence. The
decision il founded on a case tried in
Justice Hubbards court nearly two
years ago, in which the record shows the
court was held open for two hours after
the return date of the case. The law
provides that the case shall be held open
for but one hour and testimony was in
troduced to show that the case was held
but one hour after the time of calling
the same and that the entry in the JUS
tees docket instead of being eleven
o'clock should have been ten o'clock.
The court, however, held that the rec
ord as it stands is a verify and cannot
be contradicted by parol evidence. The
decision is quite important as questions
of this kind are numerous and yet but
very seldom get to higher court for de
cision.

PLANT FISH FRY IN LAKE.

Last Saturday the Wisconsin fish car
Badger" was sent to the city loaded
with II, ,000 600 trout and white fish fry
to be planted in Lake Michigan off this
city. The fish fry were sent here from
the state fish hatchery near Oshkosh.
Shortly after the arrival of the car it
was switched to the lake front yards
and the cans of fish were taken out on
the tug Arctic to about three miles from
the harbor piers, and placed in the lake.
This is the largest consignment of fish
fry ever received here and the credit for
obtaining it is due largely TO the com
bined efforts of Senator s. w. Randolph
and the Manitowoc Fishing and Hunt
ing association. The fry are furnished
free at the place of distribution by the
state but the city or village or parties
to which the consignment is made must
provide for the distribution. In the
present instance the Goodrich company
lent the use of the tug Arctic for the
purpose of removing the fish to where
they We're placed in the lake.
1t is said that further consignments of
fish fry will be received this spring
through efforts of the Fishing aud Hunt
ing association to be used in stocking
the inland lakes and streams of the
county

COURT DECLARES HIM SANE.

John Dobbert, the Meme resident
who was taken into custody on com
plant of his neighbors recently, has af-
ter an examination held on Monday of
this week been released by order of
Judge Chloupek. Dobbert at the time
of his arrest was believed to be insane
and after an examination Oy physicians
was comitted to the county hospital for
period of ten days in order that his
condition might be observed with view
to determining his sanity. AT the con-
clusion of the period the examination
conducted by the physicians convinced
them that insanity WAS not the cause of
Dobbert's arrest. 1t is reported that
new proceedings will be begun against
him growing out of threats which he is
alleged to have made but as yet these
proceedings have not been started.
