Big Refrigerating Plant

Order for Installation of Plant. To Be

The Chilliwuek Oreunicry Association Limited have just placed an
order with Mr. (I. E. Mitchell, Viineouver represent ive of the Friek Ice
Machine Co. for twenty-four Inn
capacity refrigerating plant which
they oxpoot to huve installed in
ntnple time to supply Ihe need of
Chilliwuek nnd vicinity for ico during the coming summer, The Friek
style of ice milking machine hus been
adopted after a careful investigation
of the working out of various makes
of refrigerating plants.
In addition to having plenty of
ice for cooling pur|Kises nt their
own plant, the Creamery plans to|
go extensively into the manufacture
of ice cream und the supplying of
ice liolh wholesale and retail, lt is
their intention to sell ice at u price
that will bring it within reach of
every home and a regular delivery
service will be maintained throughout the Summer.
A feature of this move on the
part of the Chilliwack Association,
thut should appenl to the pro
dueer of farm products, will be the
cold storage facilities offered. Cold I
rooms will be provided for the stor- j
ing of eggs, meats and fruits and
the farmer will be enabled to hold.
his produce instead of rushing it;
onto the mnrket when the price is
low because of over production.
Thc proposition is meeting with
deserved support from the shareholders of the Association, the
stock required to defray the cost of
the plant being rapidly taken up.
The farmers are determined to cut
down by every legitimate means,
the great difference that at present
exists lietween what the producer
receives and what the consumer
pays and it is a well know fuel
that what benefits the farmer, benefits thc community in which he
lives.

A good game nf football was
played last Saturday lietween lbc
Coqunleolius und the Hauliers. The

spectators turned out to sec the

a goal about fifteen minutes from
the start, through Dunford. A few
minutes later Carter atlded a second
goul for the Bunkers and thc tirst
half ended with the Bunkers two
goals ahead, In the second half
the play was very even but the
Bunkers added another goal and
finished with the score three goals
to nothing in their favor. The
scorers were Dunford, two goals
and Carter one. On Saturday the
Militia team will play the City
eleven in a league game at the
agricultural grounds.

Mayor li. F. Waddington in the
inaugural uddress dwelt on the fuct
that the project hud not been consumated without self denial und
sacrifice on tlie pnrt of those who
hnd persevered and accomplished
the object in view. The same concentration of the effort would still
bo necessary. The Hospital wai a
necessity und would yearly become
more and more so, und would "require the practical support of residents of the valley in order that
the splendid work might be tuain-
taincd and its scope enlarged as the
needs increased; this support the
-Mayor maintained was a Christian
duty devolving upon all.
The Opening Declaration wus
made by Reeve I'. C. Wilson.
Reeve Wilson pointed out not only
the present necessity of such an institution in Chilliwack. but, with
the assured increase in imputation
us a result of the coming of the
C. N*. R. andG. X. R. linesthrongfa
the Valley, the ministrations of the
hospital would lie largely sought
iind its present proportions would
have to be increased. In .peukiug
of support tlie Reeve paid a stroua-
compliment to the splendid generosity nnd liberality of the people of
Chilliwack and Valley. In a few
well chosen words he officially declared the Chilliwack Hospital open.
The singing of "'Praise God from
whom all Blessings Flow'' terminated a very interesting and important service, in connection with a
new work in Chilliwack, which haa
liogun under such favorable and
gratifying auspices.
At the conclusion Of the ceremony
the many visitors inspected the
hospital und wen- served with »
delicious sup of tea and refreshments. Chilliwaek's new Orchestra,
tinder the leadership uf Miss Hill,
rendered a pleasing pr'UTam at
music during the afternoon.
We are given to understand that
the most active lady on the tint

Hinehliffe. was Mrs..M.C.Hall. srii,

DUEL OF BLANKETS
Indiana ni Southeastern Alaska
have a curious custom En their "duel
of blankets."
Wlu-n a friendly difference between
two ni Ihem arises and a friendly sel
tlenient seems impossible, one of then
threatens the other with dishonor. He
will cover the face of his foe with
shame. He executes his threat liy tearing up a certain number of his own
blankets. The only way whereby his
antagonist mny "get even" with him
is by tearing up a greater number of
his own.
If the contest be prolonged it results
in the destruction nf ull the blankets
they have, each Indian destroying bis
own. The one who destroys the greater
number is regarded as having won the
fight.

A Cowboy's Girl.
Mr, Gerald flute hasdomonslrated
beyond a doubt that an old adage, !
"A prophet is without honor in his,
own country" is un exploded theory.,
A native westerner he begun his
career with the important desire for;
experience, which wns tlie great requisite that he needed. He gained
it in Western Canada, anil after
having tlie same polished in Non-
York as a star or leading man ofI
several big successes, lie comes back |
to us in a brief tour of the stirring
western comedy drama, "A Cow-;
bby's Girl," his biggest success in
the United Slates. Audit tnaysafoly
be said that no strictly western play
has created such a furore ns this |
since tlie production of "The Virginian," or "The Squawman."
The charm of this piece consists in
in the fact thnt it is a picturesque
yet remarkable faithful delineation
of ranch life, the action lieing rapid
aud stirring, witli a vein of humor
typically and colloquially western,
A dainty romance lends added
charm and holds the audience with
a gripping heart interest. To anyone Buffering with acute attack of
melancholy no better tonic could
be described than a visit lo the
Chilliwack Opera House next Tuesday Night March 5 and see Mr.

HOW TO MAifl] SKIS
Tha construction of a good ski is not
an easy task, t'or'H involves u number
of delicate problems.
Skis intended for use in lliu mountains must be both strung ami supple.
Theso two qualities aro associated i"
the wood of the ash, of which most good
skis are made. Because of Um high
prico ol ash, many moitutaiuoorn Biibstl-
lute spruce or larch, which abound in
the Alps. Skis are sometimes mado of
two kinds of wood, a lo-uvy, close-
grained species being employed for tho
lower, uml a light wood for tho upper
pari. Very hard and heavy oak i.
used for the bottoms of leaping bktfii
A ski made entirely of oak would bo

desired qualities Of elasticity, strength,

started and are cul into planks eight
feet lone:, four and one half inch's wide
and one and a half Inches thick. Knots
uro carefully avoided and tbo planks
aro so cut that the grain of the wood
will run obliquely downward from from
to rear of tho ski. Tho plank.*. are

Onco upon a time—the date is unimportant, but it was not far from ttie

a boy went forth from an American

" Father, what nre yoo going to do

tho man answered:

ho couldn't land right. It was the

had lost $13,000 llosford said to him;
"'You'd better pinch out that remaining $5,000, Ombrey; give yourself
a chance.'

play felt a good deal sorrier for him
than he did for himself.

Tonight we are going to havo service
at 8. p.m. and i understand there
is to be some ex.tra singing. We
crossed the lili« today about noon
bul being Sunday, Father Neptune
did not appear. We heard yesterday that the temperature at. Winnipeg was forty below. 1 wish wu
hud what they could spare. It
would make tilings much more

ice-cream, and putting off all tho
clothes we possibly can, to keep

.ju-t feel you would give anything
for n change. The nights are not
much lietter tbun the days, still
you can manage to get a lair

yourself when you want to go in

1 must now go hack to Honolulu
and tell you something about that
place. Unfortunately our stay
tliere was for only a few hours, so
as soon a-, we got ashore our tirst
run was to the post office to mail
our letters wliieli we hope you have
received. Then we had to go to
the bank to get some of our money
changed to Anieriean. Then we
made inquiries for a ear to the
Aquarium about four miles out.
Tliey have a tine ear service, the
cars are longer than ours and open
at both sides, making it handy to
get on and off. The cars took us
out to thc Aquarium, four miles,
for five cents and the scenery on
cither side of tjie street I can't begin to deserilie. Palifl trees, Ban-
nana, Cocoanut trees with fruit on
most of them, al) kinds of smaller
plants and pretty little houses in
among thc trees, all looked like a
regular Paradise. The Aquarium
is said to be one the of thc finest in
the world. Tolk alxiut beautiful
li.-li of wonderful colors and shapes,
i I never could have believed such
I fish existed. The octopus or devil
j fish was there too and of all the
I ugly repulsive creature* I ever saw
! it takes the cake. We had no time
to go to tbc oilier places of interest as B
. we had lo l»- back on board at

at 12.30, and amused ourselves
; throwing iUiaJI coins ipto thc water

them and I did unt see one of them
