fact, rather anxious to, but not all

Selleck. Scoboria and Currie are in

up. Mr.. Gilbert Is not. Several
meetings have been held and there
has been considerable discussion over
the subject but 1t does not appear
probable at this time that the move
will be made.
Wants Natural Growth.
Mr.. Gilbert. whose property Is
within the territory, was asked about
the proposition last evening but had
very little to say, declaring II to be
his opinion that the Elliott Heights
the Lesh and other property being
plated is sufficient for the present
and that in his opinion the city had
better be permitted to do littlt
more natural growing. Besides" he
said, 81 am rather anxious to grow a
few Winesaps on that section for
time, and | think that the fruit must
be grown by somebody If the reputa-
ton OF the district Is to be main
tanned If everybody. plats there will
be no more fruit production"
II Is understood that someone, pro

that the company was not particular

business but was anxious merely to
construct it's lines Into sections from
which IT might hope reasonably, 40

This is an idea which will hardly !
