BOXING   FIASCO  Abbotsford   "sports"   were   gre-  'viously  disappoijited on Saturday ,  night.    ��������� They, had   anticipated   a/  battle royal between the two boxing exponents (of the"Fightimg Sailor"   and   the ' North   Vancouver  champion, Jack Thompson, but the  'encounter LV-cd out in a most ig-  nominous manner.   ''The fight was  billed for twenty rounds, but before one round was fought", the re-  free   disqualified   Sailor   Jack   for  fouling and awarded" the match to  [Thomson.   From  the  outset it was  evident  that fight-,\was 'meant  by  .Sailor Jack,.who had as his patrons  two"'- well-known Abbotsford  resi-  dents, and neither contestant'made  ! much 'pretense oi a scientific   dis-  ,,  play of boxing.   Clinches and wild  ��������� swings were, the, order of the fight ,  as far as it progressed, each    man.  evidently trying to place a "knock  out." Thomson got Jack'oncej over  up against the ,1'opes and brought  him to the. floor and, in one of the l  numerous clinches the sailor made  furious upward'jabs with,his right  The referee had all his work   c.Tr.  out to keep the fighters, separated  At last all pretence at boxing was  discarded   and  in "a'-rough ,wrest-  bout'up aga'nst the ropes both men  came,,-to   the   floor.       Here  Sailor  Jack-lunged' furiously- at his ''opponent and-the rbferee had difficult  ty  in, dragging  him  away.'i*^With.  his   temper   at   whitie > heat    Jack  .  again dashed at. his opponent, who-  niade  nd  attempt to' rise  and "*at ,'  last helpers had to rush into the  ring and hold the infuriated, sailor "  in check.   The referee "had no ,option bat to stop the fight and a-  ward the "victory to Thomson. The   ,  crowd  were  indignant  at the  abrupt termination of the contest and  raised their voices in lusty howls  for  "money back" but in  this effort to obtain solace    f"nr      their  wounded  feelings  they  were    *l>-  'successful, despite their re33urce V.o���������  closing   the   doors   of   exit.   After  the   inevitable    pow-wow,   during  which the fighting Bailor oblgjn������>;-  ly intimated his willngness to "take  on'' the best man 'in, the room and  the crowd were dissatisfied and dis  gusted, the clamor by degrees became quieted down and the*, crowd  loll   for   their   home.   This  is   the  third  unsuccessful attempt to hold  a boxing match at Abbotsford and  many  of those  present  at  Saturday's exhibition declared it to be  the last time they would lejnd the  countenance   of   their   support   to  such   farcical proceedings.  Boxing when practised and pursued under proper conditions, and  by those in whom the elenientary  ruduncnts of 'cportsman^hip a/i'i  fair play are implanted, is one of  the most manly and scientific forms  of sport recognised by athletes the  whole world over, but indulged in  under such circumstances as prevailed on Saturday night, it" becomes a disgusting ana degrading  exhibition of the most vicous animal passions. Certainly nothing  can be predicted with more confidence than that a repetition 5f  such proceedings will do more to  disgust. sportf-nuMi and influence,  public opinion against the holding  of such meetings than the utmost  efforts' of those conscientious peoplo who constitute the anti-box-  ii'iig element of the community .The  word A'fake" has a nasty ring ,a-  ���������bout it, but it was heard with peculiar insistence on Saturday evening. If is up to organizers, as  wcH as fighters, to put up a,clean  bill of fare when such is pai'd for  bv   a sport-loving   public.  H. H.

FRIDAY, JULY   1,1910  In 1867, just forty-three yearn a-  go, the people of Canada first celebrated Dominion .Dajv This is  the forty-third anniversajy. TI(ow  many who read this can remember  the   first   anm' v/c-rsay?  Irrespective   of     party     politics  was it. not a wise step for the politicians1-of thtt day to take?     Were  they  not endowed  witlfToresig'ai  in ur.iting the older provinces? Has  it not been a grand thing for the  country  on the  north side of the  40lh   parallel? ��������� It' is   safe   to -say  ���������that  the twentieth  century would  not have been the growing time of  this part oft he British Empire had-  not the British North America Act  'been so skilfully made so as to in-  ' elude',; the ��������� present   day   wants, 01  needs. .  Few of those old time, pofitieians  are here to relate how and. wiiat  .took place in the'events previous  to Confederation, but the work was  nobly done.

Our  Sabbath is imperilled, as a Rob I  and Sacred Day.  By the habits and the votes of  these strangers the drink traffic  may have a longer l'.fe than it otherwise  would.

Did   you   ever-      notice  that when ar Japanese, or a Chinese  or a Hindoo swears or v.9 3s profane  words it is in our language?     Who  taught   them  profanity? ' From   us  they may learn business di-honcsty  poliiical   trickery, {and   social   intemperance, if we, as a people aro  not free from these vices.  '  Our duty is clear and imperative  We must set before them a noble,  example, treat them  like 'brothers  and give them high ideals of thrift  frugality   and  broth'erliness.

All tho world has discovered  this   fact   and     a, countess    ho si  from  every Viand  is trooping in to  share it with us.   Their blood is to  mingle with ours in the Canadian  nation  that is  to  be.   The twentieth century   \s   indeed   Canada's.  Now "is a time of crisis, such as wc  have  never known.      Perhaps  tho  largest element in this critical period, is the presence of, "The Strang  era   within   our   gates."

If  is recognized that we have a good  crop of fruit and they are also a-  ��������� wai-e' that it will come Into these  markets, and if they do. not handle  it they will have it in competitor'*  anyway.  I am trying to impress upon  jobbers retailers and consumers i  come in contact with that we have  an abundant crop of all varieties  of fruit, and that it will be to their  advantage to handle B. C. fruit for  many reasons. *  Another point our growers and  shippers ought to bear in mind is  the fact that although all our fruit  might be marketed in the provinces  of Alberta and Saskatchewan, .it  will be advisable to market a pfr-  -centage of our output in the pr>-  of Manitoba, for the purpose of n- t  only selling our fruit but* tor lhe  advertising of it, and also the possibilities of fruit growing of tho  province of B. C, removing the im  preEsion that exist'* in the minds of  some that we aro not growing .or  producing any appreciable quantity   of   fruit  as  yet.

FREE TRADE WITH CANADA.   O  [r  (By  'Elbert  Hubbard,   in  tho   New  York American).  When breezy orators point out  with prUe or view .with ,alarm���������  as tho case may be���������let us all take  hrart and remember Halley Hit  Comet that had no tail at all only'  a tail   belief.  Nothing was ..side-wiped bu-  Clamity Jake's prognos-.i nations.  The Lwcntieth century Plciadco  didn't  even  Jicsitnte.  As lor America's greatness under  a protective tariff���������yes certainly.  Also please glance at England's  greatness under a tariff which covered only ten articles, none of  which was produced in. England.  . When R.'chard Cobden made his  heroic fight to abolish the Corn  Laws, the accusation was made  that. Cobden was not a n echo la r,  nor oven a student���������only a bus'nes*'  man. Jf breads! tiffs were allowed  to enter England free of duty the  farmers would be ruinud, sjo said,  The orators. Cobdon was aided by  God Almighty who sent late fro; l  in the spring 'and' early frosts in  too fall. Hunger ham mo rod at  the   doors   of   parliament. ,  Tho Corn.Laws were repealed.  The flood flowed in.  A'rui increased ability to ��������� buy e--  qualizcd the increased supply, so  that farmers of England were really unaware of any change, save as  they read of it in tho newspaper  and counted increase'of the jingling coin in their pockets.  Life is automatic or should be,  and Natural Law is at work in the  world of cconom'c3 as elsewhere.'  David .Ricardo was a successful  London business man���������a Jew. He  made money for himself and others  He was an eminently practical man  Men of his keen mental quality-  men like Richard Cobden and John  Bright���������are sadly needed iu Washington.  'Three-fourths cf our Congressmen are lawyers; The laws they  make are for lawyers. They v'.ew  everything from*a sort of shyster  standpoint. Their efforts, are larg  ely in the line of practice���������that is  of holding each other up; a lawyer's way of making ."money is to  get   yours.  ���������Some has said, that a committee  is a .thing which takes c. -month t  cdo what any good'man can do in  .in an hour.  We are.moving fast towards the  age of the business man. Even the  lawyers���������some of them���������are beginning to realize that to conserve  business and not'"cSfssolve, disrupt  arid disintegrate it is the wise pol-  icy.  We.need business men at the'  head ofthis government, not attorneys for political parties. -Business  men!  Leaving the general subject of  tariff for protection to be settled  in these pages at another time, I  want to say now that this country-  needs no protection from Canada,  or Canada from the United States  This four thousand mi'.es of guar  ded frontier with customs and  a-jlt braid all along the route is  an insult to the intelligence of the  age.  The very fact .that the frontier  has to be guarded is a proof of  the   wrongness   of   the  tariff  law.  Things should flow to where they  are needed. Especially does This  apply to the people who, are as intimately connected by language,  literature and religion, social custom and blood ties as the Yankees  and the Canucks.  We are one people and to block  our friendly, natural, commercial  intercourse is an error of lawyers  and law makers.  Business men know bettor.  It was the States that taught  Canada how to pass tariff laws.'-We  legislated against her, she turned  the other, check and then gave us  one on.the jaw. '.  Up to only a few years' ago Can  ���������ada made gantic and discreet tariff advances in  Uncle Sam's direr:-.,  tion.  She was spurned.  Later it came our turn, and . nly  a tew months ago President Taft  came down off his swayn.backiior.sa  I WESTERN  t^^e-traffio^BSBv^.'ss-^  Farm Lands  Town Lots-  VANCOUVER AND ABBOTSFORD  -,ffim'.:'"&-:--*g.'^������^^  ABBOTSFORD, B.

It is a question of whether shi*  will allow Uncle Sam to' ag"iin  chuck her under the chin and say  'I love my Columbia, but oh, you  Canada!'  Uncle* Sam must stand on the  stoop and state h.'s case with hat  in hand.  My plea is for absolute full ani  complete free trade between Can  ���������-.da and the United States.  I have-heard every argument for  and against this proposition. ��������� The  only argument against it is' the  neutralization of our tariff '. laws  through goods being shipped into  Canada from foreign countries and  'carricM.across the border.  To remedy this Canada and the  United State's might agree on the  uniform tariff against foreign pro-  products; else the free trade could  apply exclusively to articles made  orproduced in the respective countries.  The States and Canada must get  together. Common sense of the  times demands it. Geography  and topography demand it. The  good of thepoeple on both sidis  requires it.  But is is 'a problem to be adjusted by business men not profession office holders nor. politicians who  feed fat at the      public  trough.  ���������  Business men three paces io the  fore.  THE   MARKET.  ��������� 4    ���������-���������  New Westminster, June 24th--  .The'market today was only average.- However trading .was fairly active. Strawberries and cher-  res came in good quantities. It  had been feared by* householders  generally that the heavy rains of  the past week or so would seriously injure these crops, but thes-^  /cars have not proved to be wcli  founded. Wherever the growers  u.sed straw between the rows of  strawberries, they have not been  been bothered with the grub that  got' busy during the recent rains,  ���������.���������neither has the fruit been injured  Cherries have by no means escaped  tin.' ram. Small globules of water  form on the base of the cherry dining continued rains and this split-)  the 11Ills globe open, which of  course has the effect of rapidly deteriorating the fruit. A large  .quantity of cherries have fallen off  Llie trees during the past week or  two. In spite of these adverse  circumstances there will be a fan  cherry crop. *���������','.  Old   potatoes   continue   plentifu'  and cheap.   Growers have planter!  si considerable   quantity    to      get  ridd of them.   As the price was low  this  has been found to be a'good  method of disposing of them. New  potatoes are now in, they are cheap  too    The reason for this is that old*  potatoes being so plentiful and also being at their best of a   fairly,  good quality are used in preference  to  the higher pr'ijed new growth.  One can see at a glance the-difference in price���������last year new potato toes brough five cents per     lb.  while   this   year   they, bring   only  two cents per* pound.  'Market clerk"MacKenzie had the  following to say ;���������.���������.'  '"New potatoes  were  offered' at  2c a pound wholesale, but old ones -  being so plentitul and .cheap, they  did not find much favor with' the  buyers." :  "Prices remain at a satifactory  standard and the demand such as  to create a ready sale for produce  offered."  "Pork was hot sbplentiful and  short of demand Avithprices higher  than for many years.  "Chickens were, in poor supply  and   all  sold  readily."  '���������Broilers were in good supply  and all sold at prices ranging in  accordance   to   size."  Market is being .held this week  on Wednesday.
