AGASSIZ LAWN TENNIS CLUB WINS TRIUMPH On Friday night one of the best entertainments of the season was put up by the Agassiz Lawn Tennis Club. which was well attended. The first on the programme was instrumental music hy Miss Bea Inkman, which was loudly applauded, after which the Kev. George Turpin sung a solo accompanied by Miss Inkman. This received great applause and an encore. Next on the programme was a screaming farce entitled "Too Much Married" which kept the audience in fits of laughter from start lo finish. Mr. Prank Swentmnn, who is well known in amaleur theatricals, was the principal Character as "Bob Henshaw" who misrepresented to his rich uncle that he was married and had a son, hi order to get money from the old man, Uncle Silas, who was well represented by Mr. Harry Fooks. George Ogilvie was very funny as "Jerry Lanagan," "Bob HenshawV servant and Miss Robson took the part of Jerry's wife, who as housemaid, acted her part splendidly, Mrs. ISlsoy as "Cordelia," the house keeper, was also very clever and amusing. Norman Green noted his part as one of "Bob HenshnwV sons and though he did not say very much yet looked quite at home on the stage. "Hob Henshaw" finding that his Uncle Silas was due to arrive in two hours* time, realized it was up to him to produce a wife and 12 months' old baby on short notice. Having appealed to his whole household to help him till the necessary need and, all in turn having promised to do their part, lie found himself supplied with no less than three wives and four babies, one of which was six years old nnd another that was black. This necessitated too much explanation so '>■*• had to make a clean breast of the "dude thimr which wns taken in good part by the uncle. Mrs. B, Horwell then sang a solo accompanied by Miss B. Inkman on the piano which was received, as usual, with great applause ami an "7'cere. Mr. Prank Sweat man then rendered a solo in his splendid voice nnd was encored amidst much applause. *.\lrs. Evan Provert accompanied him on the piano. The character sketch pertaining to London life was then put on by Mr. Fred. Howe and Miss Lille Jenkins, who both showed great talent which was very much appreciated by the audience. Mr. liowe and Miss Jenkins are members rf the Little Theatre Association In Kew- Westminster. The hall being cleared and the supper waltz over, refreshments were served, after which Miss Lille Jenkins gave nn exhibition of a fancy dance in costume which was well received. Dancing continued until an early hour. LAST 500 MARCH 21 The last card party of tlie scries of r.00 will be held in the I. 0. O. F. Hull, on March 21st. A. S.

Druggist and Stationer, AGASSIZ VANCOUVER-AGASSIZ UOAD SOON TO BE BUILT HAKIUSON MILLS COMING TO ITS OWN HAUUISOJ? MILLS, March 8.—The early completion of the Dewdney link nf the trunk road between Vnn- oouver and Agassiz now seems assured. Iu January last thc executive of the Agassiz Liberal Association named their secretary-treasurer, Thos, Kllby, as a delegate to go to Victoria aud press for this and other matters alVecling the district. At Victoria it was urged that the most important work of all was the building of a road between Harrison Mills and Agassiz, which, when built, will give a belt line road from Vancouver to Agassiz, on the north side of the Fraser River, crossing on the Agussiz-Bosedule ferry and return to Vancouver via the existing roads on the south side of the Frnser River. As a result of Mr, Kilby's trip, Hon. Dr. Sutherland, Chief Engineer Philip, Chief District Kngineer Ver- ner and Assistant District Engineer Stow visited Agassiz last week, nnd in company with Mr. Kilby, C. M. Strang, president, and the executive members, went over the roads under discussion. Members of the Kent municipal council told Hon. Dr. Sutherland that if the government would build the rond over the mountain the -Kent municipality would build the road on Ye flat on both sides of the mountain. Dr. Sutherland replied that this was perfectly satisfactory to him and that the government would accept, the proposal. There are 27 farms In the Harrison Valley, of from 24 to 200 acres each. Eighteen of these farms front on the route chosen by the engineers and approved by the minister of public works, Hon. Dr. Sutherland. The balance of the farms have very easy access to the route chosen, so that almost every settler is well satisfied. FAREWELL PARTY A farewell party was given last Saturday evening to Mr. and Mrs. Bousclle at Mrs. J. Lambert's house by the St. Anthony's Church congregation.

"PINAFORE" Continued from pago 8 Mr. S. 'i. Lnngton was inimitable. His the introduction of the ludicrous al the right moment, tie and Mr; de Peneler shared the comic, not to mention thai much despised "Dick Dendoye" win mi everybody spurned. Air. It. Rsmonde-White was just the laal word ia portraying a hated trouble maker, lie was always on hand when and where trouble could be made. "Dick's" gestures, words, and even smile, showed a part done to a turn. Miss li.ve.lyn Cutler was at once clever and pleasing, nnd sang charmingly—a sweet vocalist. The sailors and marines, each of the eight of them, acted well his part. Their training was splendid. The duets, trios and quartettes were of a high order, particularly on the part of Miss MacDonald and Mr, Holland, To treat of the recital without reference to the costumes would be unjustifiable, No matter how critical were the erii Ics they one and all agreed that a more lovely galaxy of millinery hud not graced the Ham- mnnd stage. Perfection probably found fullest ideal in the Instances of "Josephine," "Little Buttercup," "Sir Joseph Porter" and many of his lady suite. Little was left unsaid for art. No detail, it was clear, had been left to chance, but skill and untiring effort were early and continuously employed. The whole programme was vast, in its organization and magnificent in its result, The scenic effect was very beautiful-—the admiration of all present. Miss Mnrsdeti deserves a specie.' meed of praise for the very elaborate scheme Of publicity work she did, which everyone will concede could in no particular have been improved upon. Miss Marsden's Indefatigable efforts contributed greatly to making the Club's third annual performance a success, A triple wedding happily: Sir Joseph to his cousin *; Capt. Rackstrnw to Josephine; Corcoran to Buttercup —and "Dick Dendoye" was there, too! Before the delightful scene closed the ushers bore many and most beautiful bouquets of flowers which were (more than one) presented to all the major performers and tn many of tlie minor ones, also. "Dick Dendeye" received his several presentations—some of them suggestive of the comical—with the utterance "St. David's Day." While the Lord High Admiral, with much dignity, said "I am delighted with this official presentation." The lighting and heating was nil that could be desired, same being under the able superintendeney of Messrs. J. II. Ritchie and There were many distinguished visitors from the cities. It was very pleasing to notice the peanuts on the curtain, "Maple Uidgc Glee Club," and on either side "Haney" nod "Hammond." To the pianist, Mrs. (1, It. Gordon, is due great credit, for the success of ihe orchestra. An accomplished musician. Mr. J. II. Ritchie, besides other duties achieved as stage carpenter. Two young ladies from Vancouver gave exhibitions of fancy dancing, which proved very popular. Mr. King did tlie painting of the much-admired scenery. Mrs, I hi ley was convenor of the costume committee, and to her diligence and preparation of thc beautiful costumes, as also to her assistants Mrs. lUtchto nnd Mrs, Lawrie, admiration was utiti. The Maple Ridge orchestra did honor to iiself and special favor lo the (lleo Club. For their \ft'y great kindness hi lending chairs the Hammond Presbyterian Church and (he Maple Ridge Agricultural Society is each due very sincere thanks. Finally, ibis account- would fail in Its function were it to omit reference to the wide and most splendid service lenl by Mr. D. M. liarinel.

Maple Ridge Parliament COUNCIL HAS MANY DEPUTATIONS Deputations occupied the whole forenoon of the municipal council meeting on Saturday—chief concern, roads and bridges. The requests were all noted for particular consideration in view of the council's this week's proposed inspection. Messrs. ft. T. Mil telle tt and J. Jackson appeared for the Agricultural Society and asked for a grant to assist their finances. Mr. Matchett pointed out that the government hud cut down their grants to the local shows by about ."0 per cent und also that the society had been put to additional expense by the blowing down of their she;! v.liieh would cost them from $150 to $200. Last year's grant was iS-iOU he suggested it be made S500 this yea r. Mr. Jackson spoke much in the same strain. In the discussion that ensued Coun. Brooks mentioned the claim of V.'hon- nock and said he had always objected to more than one municipal .show in Maple Ridge and Coun. Best agreed with him. Coun. (iambic also thought one sufficient. ftventuully on the motion of Coun. Best, seconded by Coun. Owen, the grant was fixed at $450 for 1(124. Coun. Blols, Whonnock, did not arrive up lo this time and Coun. Best did not think it fair to thresh out the question of the Whonnock Fair grant in his absence. Mr. Hat Men/.ies, Mr. ft. T. Malehctt, and Mr. Rue of Aberncthy & Lougheed presented a petition with 80 signatures asking for an extension of Ihe McKeehnie road into thc Aberiiethy & Lougheed camp, lie said that Abernethy and liOiigheed were prepared to give material assistance and he suggested that the B. 0. Electric Co. might also do so in view of the great advantage the road would be to them in their development work. Mr. Men/.ios mentioned that In the camp there were 300 of a population, these people had no outlet at present to the municipal trading centres as an asset to the community he mentioned that the pay roll of the corn- puny amounted to $40,000 a month. Were there a road to the camp the stores would benefit and people In the villages and elsewhere might get employment and be able to get home every night. Mr. Matchett referred to the petition which none had refused to sign. Mr. line submitted a sketch and profile of the road. lie alluded to the laxes paid by A. & L. hist year, $1864 in all, and said ihe company was prepared to contribute in labor tlie equivalent of $!?000 to tlie work. The labor would bc their steam shovel on lhe hill cut, he suggested. Reeve Mclver considered it a very liberal olTer, The road would nol only open n new country but Ihey must remember they had a settlement at the other end. On thc motion of councillors Best and Brooks it was resolved to ask thc municipal engineer to bring In an estimate as to what the municipality's share would be to complete lhe road to Ihe camp, working in conjunction wllh Abernelhy & Roughed!, said estimate lo bc ready by nexl council meeting. Messrs. Harris and Pollock drew attention lo Ihe Hall's road and the former suggested the council choose a nice wol day to inspect it and come in a wagon. Rev. Mr. Reld and Mrs. I.ntid laid lho unsanitary state of Callnghan fit, through ihe lack of proper dvalnagi before lhe counoll, Tlie municipal hull is situate upon il nnd il wns a positive menace to heallh. Messrs. Qower eiephusi/.ed Hie dan- geroua condition of a bridge on Raker road north, A large .Tupuncse deputation point ed out the unsafe slate of the Hull!! &n*^£maS83£SSBsm&TZB road bridge which Coun. Gamble confirmed. All these complaints will be investigated <ni the council's inspection tour. Mr. John West spoke on the washout on the Week's road and part of his f]\ ke and n resolution was passed that the clerk be instructed to communicate with the Minister of Public Works at Ottawa in regard to a grant for dredging the Alouette river from the town line bridge to the Lillooet rond, a distance of some two mil and also, to write Mr. .Elgin Munroe, M. P., on the subject. Mr. West proposed to circulate a petition for the signatures of those affected by the North and South Alouette river floods by which money could be borrowed from the provincial government and the cost assessed against the land benefitted under the River Protection Act. Another complaint from Mrs, Evelyn .Jones, Whonnock, contained a claim for $300 for loss by flooding, alleged to be caused by the negligence of the council. The council will view the situation. An application by Killuni & Beck. solicitors, for restoration of a client to his lands on payment of the taxes for which they were sold, was agreed to on condition thut costs, Interest and all expenses were paid. Air. Zamowskl complained of the state of lhe Whonnock road near his property. It will be inspected. Under the Workmen's Compensation Act it appears compulsory to have first aid supplies at hand. The clerk was authorized to purchase them. Thc petition from Hammond for ;. rural mail delivery from that centre must go through the proeeedure of application to the Post Office authorities at Ottawa, thence to be referred to Mr. .1. P. Murray, District Superintendent, Vancouver, for report. In reply to an oiler from Mr. W, 11. Ansell to cut cedar poles on municipal property for \y. cents a foot, the clerk was directed to say that the municipal price was 3 cents a foot. The school board was given permls- sii n to lay tiles under lhe Dewdney Trunk road in connection with the draining of the High School. Mr. I i road wood's application for a road cast of Yennadon was considered. Councillor Best thought that a better way- was to acquire a right of way from the B. C. E. It. Company and make a road over the hill. It. would give access to other settlers. The B. 0, ft. R. Company will he communicated with.. Plans of the proposed B. C, Telephone line on North Street, west of Ontario Street were approved. It was resolved to advertise for oilers to repair the Week's road and West's dyke. It was decided to wrile Mr. I). Brown to return the gravel used by him in his school hoard contract ou Much rond. HOSPITAL COMMITTftft MEETIWi. The special hospital committee met ul the homo of Mrs, E. ft. Adair recently, the hostess being the prasl den! ami occupied the chair. Carefully considering lhe advisability of undertaking thc collection of the requisite funds, it was decided best to defer such action for Ihe present, the winter being hardly over and many citizens not being too regularly employed. Several features were discussed nnd the executive may early meet again. Most of the member* were present and all were very san guine of the early triumph of Ihe undertaking.

Messrs. Horcka and Pipe interviewed the School Board and asked that a new school be built on Jackson road. They represented that the Albion and Whonnock schools wen too far away for the children of tl> district to be served.

"(Jive the people something worth while" may well be a ti.ercautile slogan, This is pui into active practice by Mr. ('. Ii. Warner, of Haney, who Is making n record, and it takes no prophetic eve lo see Ihal he Is to r:iH.\ build i<> tbo proportions of lho merchant prince. Mr, Warner has, from nlmosi no beginning a couple of years ago, bulll op nn of lhe very be«l bnnlnesses in Finney, and Is al that, just beginning his successes, The price, lists Issued by htm has mnri i ! attractions in Hie way of Tftlues nnd quality of goods. Evorj householder may well call For this price list nnw Issued—jusl phone up, Nol better values offered. XT KAHMOSTD THEATBB "Racing: Hearts'* the Paramount production starring Agnes Ayres, Richard Dtx, Theodlre Roberts, and n supporting coBt of welt known Players, Is a fast thrilling story written by Byron Morgan, author of many of Wally Reld's famous racing successes. Miss Ayre8 is the first woman of the screen to pilot a racing car In an actual contest, and In which she dlsplys remarkable Intrepidity as a speed demon. You will see nn auto race that ends In a hair raising smash nnd a romance that ends In a heart throbbing clinch. You'll like thorn both. Agnes Ayres Is simply bewitching as the demon speed girl who will bring you out of your seat cheering. You'll see a brand new Agnes Ayres, bobbed hair, sparkling eyes full of pep, In a real racy rollicking speed romance. Theodore Roberts plays the part of John Kent, father of Virginia GlngeP Kent (Agnes Ay- res) while Richard Dlx Is the motor ayclo cop Roddy Smith. It is by far the best racing picture of the season, To say that the Rlnky Dinks con cert, dance and box social was a huge success Is but a mild phrase. Tho success waa beyond all expectations and a real good' slnglngcrowd, captained by Mr. Alex. Manzer, of Whonnock, gave burst to the choruses, especially to "Yes, we have no bananas" Miss Velma Klmola, a real live Rlnky Dink, acted as a most proficient chairman. The event of the evening was the singing of little miss Sylvia Cart- wright and her little brother John Cartwrlght. His singing of that song "Peanuts" was extremely talented, and was encorted by his giving "You ought to see me with my girl on Sunday." We could have sat all night listening to these two talented juveniles. However, we feel sure they will give us a return visit. Condensing our remarks on the efforts of the young glrlsl they must be- congratulated on thelij efforts, also much cited it Is due to the first efforts of tbe newly formed orchestra, which supplied the muftic for the singing and dancing. They show promise of real good combination and with practice will produce muslo of a high ■degree. Friends will be sorry to hear of the serious relapse of Mr. J. Gaugh< ler. We sincerely hope that he will recover and be amongst us again. There Is to be the annual general meeting of the Albion Community Hall. Residents are advised to attend as there is lots of business, also election of officers for the ensuing year. MAPLE *&IDQE POULTRP ASSN.

He has a fine line of gur- den seeds, and to his credit, they are all the seeds of Messrs. Brown Bros. Great praise is duo Mr. Warner for his splendid "boosting" of local goods.

FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1924 THE NORTH FRASER UOAD Del us not forge! the squlrrolt as it were, Agassi/ 1ms u definite programme for 1984. There is the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel, location of ii fruit cannery und n road along ihe north side of the l-'raser, which virtually menus the completion of the I rank road from Harrison Mills to Agassiz. Every citizen should understand this local programme and do his best to help it along. It is due all to give their best in thought and effort. This week we nre accounting for what the Good Roads Convention passed upon at their session at Port Moody on Friday last. The resolution has been passed, but that only sets a more urgent duty. Are we to fold our arms and act as though it were never a concern whether the road is built or not, this year or ever? This highway is an absolute necessity ami its construction should be this year's effort. For the most cogent reasons delay should not take place. Why should those who want to reach Agassiz have to depend on an irregular ferry and at that have to go far out of their way to reach either destination1? The municipality in general nnd Agassiz in particular is entitled to its own in the onward, Help them to take their place in the furrow of their need.

Launches and Row Boats for hire A. W. Wooton, Harrison Hot Springs .Scarcely was the magnificent Hnm- nmml 'J'hentre completed than, pride of accomplishment, a glee club came Into existence nnd its sympathies and elt'orts enlisted to put on a very ambitious and equally unusual musical programme. Quite as though proud of so being made the first district in B.C., tlie club displuyed greut energy and unanimity in getting up Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado." Tn many alike in the club and lliose outside its membership the task seemed far too elaborate. 13ut "where there's a will there's a way." Ardor, determination, notion and persistent effort won tile day anil soon our delighted citizen-body pronounced tlie recital as a greut musical triumph, Not alone was the performance lauded at home but many critics from the city emphatically pronounced upon its special merit. Hail those who were at such great pains and anxiety any idea of what would follow this first effort they could huve stepped with princely dignity. basl year to even greater success the club put on the "Pirates of Penzance" to the delight of citizens and visitors. It won unstinted praise. But magnificent and masterful as both the former classics, it was left fur March 1st, 11)24, to put tiie cope- stone of admiration on a play that all will concede could not have been excelled, if even, equalled—it Is a question if any other district in B, C. has attempted one of these performances, let alone carry three to signal triumph. .Saturday evening, long before the hour lo begin, the vnst hall was packed, fully 100 of tlie 000 present having to stand. It wns evident that all were expecting the display of local talent to be of a very high order, nor were any to be disappointed. Hy 8,05 Mr. ,1. 0. Welch, the musical director, led the Maple Ridge orchestra, the airs quite captivating. Since probably every home in tlie entire district and its environs was represented it is not necessary to depici I lie scenes. The dramatis persona' follows; The lit. Hon. Sir Joseph Porter, K. V.

Welch, conductor of the Vancouver Operatic Soolcty, wns, ns mi iniih previous occasions, tlie unanimous choice as musical director. Difficulties there were sometimes seeming insuperable, incident tu removals from the district, etc., but determination und genius won. Mr. Welch's management showed decided skill, and In no sense more than in his selection nf the cast. But nut all, indeed, is involved in tlie select inn of a director, fur, to win universal encomium every care must lie taken in the choice of singe manager. Fortunately there wns not the least concern here. for one nf the members, Mrs. A. Ferguson, hud, on bulb former occasions, won the admiration of everyone on account nf the splendid grasp she displuyed In every detail. Besides natural ability uf ti high order Mrs. Ferguson took a careful course in stage work, anil, following her training, wns manageress for some time in Great London. It delighted all tn have Mrs. Ferguson consent again to assume this third year's training, especially as lhe tusk is heavy nnd the burden great. If pains is genius taking every day form then our manageress met both the need und tlie ideal. Invaluable to have enthusiasm, but infinitely better to pass it on—in this incident it wns passed with no stinted hand to all in the play. Due to say thut none but the performers enn ever realize what infinite pains, patience and skill were em- ployed in the three or four months' preparation to stage so elaborate a performance. Consider the designing alone of color and elaborate nnd very beautiful costumes. Great praise is due the master hnnd and mind that gave Maple Kldge so splendid a performance. It. was Wednesday evening last that the careful (raining found its setting when tlie costumes were worn for the first time. Not then for any performer to doubt the quality of success. For weeks in advance scores hnd planned on coming from Westminster and Vancouver d a delightful night following n day of spring enabled all to carry out their purpose. It is not enough tn sny thnt nil the major parts were well sustained, for the minor were, -without a single excep- tlnn, true to cast, and in fine Hie remark was heard on every hand: "All have won my admiration." Mr. C. It, Holland, acting ns Capt. Corcoran, played a deep-water enp- tnin tn perfection. His commands were clear nnd bore no semblance of being overdone. He was fully captain nf the ship and all un board. His singing was a hit. Mr. Holland may be counted on always us n winning number. Sir Joseph, the Lord High Admiral (Mr. I,. G. Rayner) acted fo a dot his port, his regalia, paraphernalia, and figure considerably resembling that, of the Hern of Trafalgar. Ills dramatization wns perfect nnd his voice loud or soft and pleading as the ease required. "Faultless" was the monosyllabic judgment of the evening's critics.. Mr. Rnyner's skill was that nf a professional. Mr. (Instling added tn lhe opinion of admiration ns set. fur him on two previous occasions. His acting was with zest ami vim. Ills plea was effect lie us a suitor. He is very popular. , Mrs. I). M. Unrtnol was naturalness itself. If nny thought this performance lucked plot nnd depth then the performance of "Buttercup's" role fullv set up proof tu the contrary, Willi "Josephine" she won special admiration from Start tn finish. It. will be remembered Hint, Mrs, Hartnel took n lending role on both previous occasions, Miss J. MticDtmtild In her singing aud acting alike a professional and nut un amateur. Her part was one nf flrsl Importance bul from no quarter did we hear other lhan words nf praise, she captivated by I leu- cney nf feeling. ...
