BOARD OF TRADEJBANQUET BIG SUCCESS TU* Awul Eteot Wu Oot of Mock loterr.il. Good Speeches, Splendid Singing, oo Appdixing Menu, ood Chilliwaek's Bright Fotore, ore Features. Success in large measure attended the annual business men's dinner, at tbe Empress, on Friday evening. The function was held under the auspices nf the Hoard of Trade, and that body should lie stimulated and congratulated on tho result of the effort. If the banquet is any criterion, of tho next twelve months in Chilliwack, the city will abound with enthusiasm, and husiuoss and civic development will gain inomeu- tum from Ihe united energies of Ihe various business interests of tlic city. The tli.....-.' was delayed until a late hour owing to the late arrival of the tram which brought sonic of the guests, At eleven o'clock about sixty sat down to do justice to the array of good things for the satisfying of the inner man, provided hy the genial proprietor of the Empress, 1) 1! MoLohlliin. AH attested iu a decided fashion to the merits of this portion of tbe program, After nil, with few exceptions, bad kindled tlieir tires and got steam up for the next part of the "Menu", 11. J. Harlier, as toastmnsler, proposed the health of the King which was responded to in true British fashion. A letter of regret was read from Premier McBride, who had lieen invited to.he present. Pressure nf business, previous to tbe opening of the Legislature, did not permit a visit to Chilliwack at this time. "Cnnada" was ably proposed by II. J. Barlier, wbo emphasized the the desirability of keeping the wheels of progress revolving and business interests properly lubricated and adjusted in Chilliwack, that this portion of Canada might keep pace with thc wonderful development of the Country, .specially thc western portion of it. The drinking of the Toast was followed by "The Maple Leaf Forever", when J. D. Taylor, M. P. for Westminster, responded, to an accompaniment of hearty applause Mr. Taylor dwelt mainly on the projects and proposed developments by the Dominion Cloverment in relation to Western Canada. The establishing of thc Pacific Coast aa the sen Imard for the immense grain shipments from thc prairies, l.y tlie erection of terminal elvators. etc., and pointed out that grain would Ik- shipped by this route at a saving of from four to six cents a hush. I uver the rate now paid, either via Montreal or Ww York r.iutes. The expenditure of some (ourmilloii dollars at the mouth of the Eraser was state I to be an advantage to CbiUiwnek in lircctlv. Mr. Taylor I... , I t" see Ibe Fraser navigable as far as II,mm- and Yale at no distant period. Thospcaker advocated is'rmanent roads throughout the province. Dr Patten sang "The Veteran's Song" in a style that met with warm ap r vnl. A. L. Coote proposed n toast to 'British Columbia", which bubbled over with Mr. Cooto's characteristic humor, and coupled with it the nam.' of S. A. Cawley, M. P. P who elucidated the wealth in tbe resources of the province iu lumber, mining, agriculture ami tisbing, and the proud position B.C. occupied in Iteii-g a1 'le to at anv time liquidate ita national debt witb funds on deposit in thc banks of thc province. In addition to this he stated the province owns and controls all its lands except the twenty mile railway belt, and concluded his address witli a story in which a political meeting, a lengthy six-ukor. the abundant ro-ourecs of the province and nn auditor who saw an additional item and suggested the advantages of an immediate recognition of the same. "Our Cily" was proposed in a few well chosen words bv It. F. Waddington, who commented on the advance of Chilliwack during recent years, and the fact that the Government Post Olllcc had failed to keep pace with thc march of time. This was one of the local conditions which was sadly neglected. Mayor Munro was associated with the response and gave an address on the City's development, and ambitions past, present, and future. Tbe Mayor's reminiscences of Chilliwack were decidedly interesting and were told with a quite humor that kept the audience on the alert. In commencing his address he said that the two cuts of Wellington street as published in the Free Press of Friday was a true picture of the situation as presented in 1801 and 1911. Twenty-one years ago there were twelve places of business while now there are flighty - seven. The spaakor rotated sonic of bis early experiences, tlm real estaui boom of !M, which was of shortduration ami in which thore wns moro enthusiasm and less money tliau in any real estate situation anywhere Up lo llllll time. On tho '-'1st of May '111 the i lirst sod of an electric railway was | turned, which was the sum total of j the operations, The Mayor then stated that for the next seven or eight years lho staying qualities of the citizens of the place were put to the test and the stamina displayed during these yenrs was bard to boat, During thc past six years great changes hud taken place, (lid buildings were replaced by new, banks were established, an eight roomed public school and a high school erected, roads and sidewalks constructed, electric train service, electric lighting, water service, drainage, city bull and incorporation as a city, In fact the only business institution that bad not changed during the past twenty one years was the jiost office. At this point J. D. Taylor. M. P., who had taken note of tbe comment on the Dominion Government building, ventured the information (?) that he would have one sent by express. It was evident from the tenor of the references to the post office situation that a long suffering public bad about reached the limit of its patience. "Our valley" was proposed by A. E. White, president of Westminster Board of Trade, who reviewed tbc subject of transporution from carlv times, nnd dwelt on the potentiality and resources of the valley, tbe project of draining Sumas Lake, and concluded with a picturesque description of, and licst withes for tbe future of Chilliwack. To H. Eckert fell the pleasure of replying, and in doing so made reference to the increased production of tbe valley by more intelligent, systematic and intensified cultiva tiou of tlie soils. More products were raised and shipped from the valley now than ever before, an I he looked lor and predicted a very large increase in the future. " Oil to Philadelphia in tbe Morning" by Fred Han, was the next iteui und proved u popu ar bit. "The B.C. Electric Railway Co." was proposed bv J H. Ashwell who referred to the early means of transportation via the river, and the delays, and other pioneer features of traffic proiilem. The inauguration of the B. C. E R and the benlits the city bad derived Irom it. F. R. Glover, who responded on liehalf of the company, was hailed with three cheers and a tiger nud the singing of "For they're Jolly Good Fellows." Mr. Glover paid u compliment to the early residents of the valley when he stated that as long as twenty live years ago, Chilliwaek Valley wns one of the most, if not the most progressive community along the coast. Transportation was u big advantage to any community and Chilliwack bad shared tbo results incident to the establishing of railway communication. This bail changed conditions, one instance lieing that the Creameries ceased to make butter, hut the milk ship|>ed to Vancouvor ami sold, brought a price equal to tilty-twoor lifty-tbrce cents a pound for butter. In shaking of the resources of the valley Mr. Glover directed attention to the fact that the largest available cement deposits in British Columbia were to be found within a few miles of the city, thc supply lieing praot ically unlimited. This property, together with a property on Vancouver Islam!, near Victoria, had been purchased by tbe Consolidated Cement Co., of England, the largest cement company in the world. Operations on the Island would !«' started iu the curly spring und on tbe completion of the plant there, a large plant would lie installed here, und a spur line of the B. C. E. R. constructed to the plant. Tbe speaker assured thc assembly of the genuineness of the company and its purpose. Mr. Glover nlso stated thnt iniiK.rtn.it coal collieries, in close proximity to the city were highly probable in thc near future, as there were splendid indications of a Ilrst class quality of bituminous coal in the hills tn the north of the city, lie was of the opinion that the Cily and Valley was on the eve of an era of wonderful progress and development. The ever productiveness of the valley from the standpoint of the soil, the cement industry coal collieries, with Improved river navigation,and Ihroi railway lines in the near future. When such a forward movement had marked thc past few years, whal might be expected during the next few years with all these additional advantages. The li. C. E. It. had made no mis- lake iu coining to Chilliwack and results thus far had cxi ded the company's most sanguine expectations. 'I'be road will, at present rate of increase, produce a profit in three years Instead of live years as bad befin estimated. With regard to the extension of tbe rond to Rosedale Mr. Glover, stated that as soon as business would warrant the expenditure, this would be constructed.

The development of character would produce u strong, verile type of business mun, in whose builds the future would lie safe and sound. W. L. Macken made n rief und able response.

He took exception to the Statement tbut the post office bnd not change,! in the last twenty years, as the veranda bad disappeared with that of several others that hail graccdt?) the main thoroughfare of the future city of Chilliwack. Last but not least "Publicity and the Press" wns proposed by II. T. Goodland, who emphasized the importance of the press as a factor in the growth of the various industries and callings which go to make up a progressive city, and also stated that he always had found A DAIRY ASSOCIATION. An invitation wus extended to u few dairymen in the valley to meet in thc city of Chilliwack, for thc purpose of discussing the advisability of organizing the dairy interests. The meeting was called on Saturday Jan. I!, 1012 and Mr. .1. A. Evans was asked to act as Chairmen nnd C. E.

Prospects Bright for 1912 The Chilliwack Board of Trade wound up the business of 1011 and started on the campaign lor IUI2 on Friday, night when about forty of the members assembled in the Odd Fellow's hall for ihe annual meeting. After preliminaries were disposed of a letter was read from Mr. MiLcod re mail service across the river from Harrison and suggested in the event of same not being secured owing to cust, that a service from Abbotsford over the B. I'. E. R. l«o inked for. By this method eastern mail would be transferred from t'. p. R. to B. C. E. R. at Abbotsford and arrive at Chilliwack at 12 (noon) instead of 9 p.m. as at present. The main object of the Board asking for a re-establishment of the service to Hnrrison, is to keep up regular communication between the city and the towns on the north side of the river. The passenger tnirti.- alone, at present is not sufficient to maintain a constant service. R. J. Snellgrove, Vancouver, wrote the Board, regarding the maintenance of the Vancouver Market and suggesting that a resolution lie forwarded from the Board pointing out the advantage this concern is to the shippers of produce from Chilliwack. The matter was p.. fcrred to tic Agricultural Committee. Messrs. J. Burton. T. L. Lillie. R. Carmiehael, H.H. Spieer. Tbc secretary-treasurer H.

If sufficient interest is taken in the meetings at Sardis, a scries of meetings will lie held at Chilliwack later, lt is probable that a number from here will attend the meetings at Sardis next Tuesday and Wednesday. sion as to the best way in which to bring about the results desired, a committee consisting of Mr. Burrow, Mr. E. A. Wells and C. E. Eckert, was appointed to submit n plan, draft a constitution and by-laws, and wben ready to report, advise the Chairman, who would then enll another meeting at which every dairyman in the valley would lie invited to be present. The idea prevails that much good to thc lairy interests can be accomplished through a valley organization, and the matter should receive loyal support of every person who has any interest in this line of, work.

Tlu* digging and washing there is n matter of hand labor: but they are still got ting the rubies. In the Mogul. Valley, however, when* large woikings are always in hand, n scientific system has been Introduced with corresponding results. The byon is extracted by the open-ipiuiry method of removing ad the surface down tn thc ruby bearing eluy.

Beach Thomas in tho Daily Mail) Tho failure of tho national supply of horses and tho collapse of tho endeavors to make good the lows aro ubout to appeur in their full seriousness, Officially it is still maintained that there aro plenty of army horses. Tho fact is that the source of the best reserve has disappeared completely nml more or less suddenly—us witnessed by cortain sales of the past tow days. Though the cavalry nnd the artillery have still onongh horses for im mediuto use, it remains that tho Yeomanry ami Territorials are for practical purposes horseless. In periods of training during tho summer they have hud to use the sumo horses over and over again. Ho far from having control uf enough horses for a time of war or general mobilization, they hftVo not enough If the horses hud to be mod BlmuJtnnoously —not enough by CO per cent, fur peace ninnoeuvres. If the year's work of a group nf these Territorial horses were told iu del nil it would appear us more than a labor of Hercules. Some of Ihem have been used without u duy's rest success Ivoly in ii score of districts, and the cou.se of tlieir mIgnitions would nur imss Hi Wot. One ui th. Hi behind him. What tho horse-breeding industry wants is some British rivals; and outside n fuir number of individual officers and hunting-men he has none. The loss of the omnibus horses nlso affects farmers nnd small* holders, and many men who traffic in a small way on tlic roads or fields. But the army is the worst sufferer, for the farmers have como to their own rescue. Thoy aro breeding Shiro horses more nnd moro. The Shiro Horse Society is tno o prosperous and popular than horse society over has been. Tho trouble is that the Shirt* is no longer, us in the old days, of military value. A purely fictitious stimulus has been lent to horse-breeding by tho Olympia Show, and the ovei whelming success of foreigners begins to innko this manifest. The Kniser was perfectly right, though jus telegram caused some aillUBO- ment, when he congratulated liis olli- eers on victories iu charger classes, for the chargers were bred nt Government stations which are ihe most perfect, in the world.

One volunteered the valuable informntion that the Old Testament was written B.C., tlic oilier was not; another affirmed that 'the Oltl Testament represented Hebrew fable.' while 'the Xew dealt with hist orient characters.'

THOMPSON DELL WH1TH0RE J a,**************************************************** In connection with the Board of Trade on Friday night, wc, with several others of the more recent residents of the city, would suggest that the banquet and election be held on separate evenings, the election following the banquet possibly. The procedure on Friday night struck the new members, as being too hurried, and littio time given to the selection of the various ollicers. The idea seemed to be to get it over and get away. We have no criticism to make of thc very capable officers elected, but thc Hoard of Trade should load in progrossiveness, even in the election. A re-arrangement of talent and a few of tho 'now bloods" would Is a profitable experiment, and encourage the new men to join anil take an active interest in the affairB of the city and vallcv. The Free Press has no axe to grind, nor personal ambitions to satisfy. Our time is fully occupied in a calling in which the public weal demands and receives attention each day of COMMUNICATIONS DAIRY INTERESTS Mr. Editot—Shall the dairymen organize to promote the general good of dairy interests in the valley? The advisability of this question should appeal favorably to everyone identified with dairying in the Chilliwack valley, for there is no doubt but that much good can lie accomplished thru the organized efforts of associated dairymen, provided all will take an active interest in the matter and give hearty support to the movement. Conditions have arisen in the whole milk market in Vancouver, which, when rightly understood, should make the producer sit, up antl take notice. The price of butterfat paid to the producer has been reduced, and thc prices to consumers have been advanced. The reduction has been made at a season of the year when milk is scarce and the dairyman has every reason to believe the price to him should be maintained. It must lie at once apparent then, that a reduction of the price of butter-fat at this season of the year must Iw the result of extraordinary causes, and to ascertain the same, can best be accomplished thru some good working organization here. The general expression present at a small meeting of dairymen recently held in this city, was tliat great benefit to the dairy interests could be accomplished thru an a association composed of creamery patrons and the Independent shippers. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and set of by-laws, which was to report to tbe chairman when ready; the chairman to then call a general meeting' of all the dairymen in thc valley, to discuss ways and means, and to adopt or reject the committee's report. I am told on good authority that the apply of milk going from thc valley today is neatly one-half of the entire amount shipped into the ity of Vancouver. Now if this bo true, is it not possible that if the supply from here were handled in an intelligent manner, by some wisely appointed commission, tho priced of whole milk and sweet cream could be fixed by the producers of the valley? Without organization, we shall always be at the mercy of the wholesale dealers in the city, but with it. wc would In- in a position to have something to say iu the matter of prices. Transportation is also a question which will soon need our attention, and thru organized efforts wc could no doubt secure what wc desire, and what would be most agreeable to dairy interests in this valley. Certain matters in connection with present laws, detrimental to dairy interests, eould also be brought to the attention of our lan- makers, and righted thru organisation. It seems to me therefore, that we should lose no time in getting together and giving hearty support to a movement which will have for its objects, only the welfare of the dairymen, and 1 earnestly hope to see a large number of men at the meeting to be called by Mr. J. A. Evans, when these questions will all be discussed and a start made to organize for mutual protection of interests. Sincerely, C, E. Eckert.

Secondly, no very reliable or satisfactory market. , Then too, of course, the poultry business has been reduced to al science of late years, and lo make a I thorough success it needs to l>o stud-1 i ied very carefully as do all other i ; businesses. By forming nn Association we! I shall be able easily to remove the | , foregoing obstacles, und 1 see no reason why, in the course of a short i time, we should not have poultry ns 1 a staple industry of this Valley as it j is of others. i Tliere is big money in poultry. I One poultry farmer on a twenty- five acre farm on Lnlu Island ! hatched and sold last year 48,000 I day-old chicks at fifteen cents. One poultry farmer at Langley makes an average weekly income of 8125.00 finin his poultry. Another poultry farmer at Ijingley is making 8300 per month on a small farm. These are actual figures antl show what can bt: done. If they can accomplish this wc enn too. 1 have read witli much interest the articles appearing in your issues of recent date bearing upon the above subject and have sinco conferred witli two of our local specialists and prize winners with the result thai we decided to call together all | those in this locality who arc inter-! ested in Ihe welfare..f poultry farming ami form nn Association us! |above. ln order that the formation of ibis Association may go ahead immediately I was asked to net ns I secretary for tbc preliminaries anil {call a meeting.

Kvery part uf this wonderful tree hus iln nine to Ihe Arab. Tiie pistils of the dale- blossom coal a in u line curly fibre, which is beaten out and used iu all ISastorn baths ns a spougo for -soaping the body. At the extremity of the trunk is a terminal bud containing a white substance resembling an almond in consistency and taste, but u hundred times us Inrjfc. This is a great table delicacy, Thero ure saitl to bo more than one hundred varieties of date-palm, all distinguished by their fruit, nud the Arabs say that a good housewife can furnish her husband wilh a dish of dates differently prepared every day for a month. I)atea form tho staple food of the Arabs in Q largo part of Arabia, ami are served in some form nt dvery meal. Syrup aud vinegar nre made from obi dates; and by thoso who disregard the teachings of the Koran n hind of brandy is distilled from tbem. 'i'he date-pit is ground and fed lo cows nnd sheep, so tlmt nothing of the precious fruit may be lost. Whole pits tire used as bonds and counters for the Arab children in their Karnes on the desert sand. 'I'he branches of pnlitis are .stripped of their leaves and used like rattan for the making of beds, tables, chairs, crndles, bird cages, boats, uud so forth. The leaves are made into baskets, fans, and string, nud the outer trunk furnishes flbro for rope of many sizes ami qualities. The wood of the trunk, although light und porous, is mm h used in bridge building und architecture, and is quite durable.' In short, when a date palm is tut down there is uot u particle of it thut is wasted. This tree has been called the ''poor-house" and asylum for all Arabia; without it millions would have neither food nor shelter. One hnlf of the population of Mesopotamia, it is estimated, lives in date-mat dwellings, FREAKS OF BULLETS At the battle of Peach Orchard, when McClollnn was making his change of base, a Michigan infantryman fell to the ground ns if shot dead, und wns left lying In a heap as the regiment chang ed position.
