WHITE ROCK'S MOUTHPIECE '- The charm of White Rock is no longer to depend upon word of mouth or the notices in outside publications of its worth. Henceforward both its splendid stretch of beach and its myriad other joys, together with those of Crescent arid Ocean Park will have as their champion the Semiahmoo Gazette, whose initial number, < hot from the press, is now being circulated. ..;������������������ '"This first.'issue of a three column, eight-page paper, has as its editor and manager,' Mr. ��������� Charles E.. ' Sands, a well known resident of Westminster's seaside"'resort, and it is anticipated that from a monthly publication the paper will shortly be changed to a weekly.'

HILL-TOITTfAT PROGRESS CLU The following taken from Mr. Hill'- Tout's speech will interest, our readers: . ' . Thatj a much greater measuuTTf state aid is absolutely necessary to; stimulate the agricultural industry in this-province was the declaration made by Prof. Hill-Tout of Matsqui, in his ��������� thoughtful address at the Progress Club luncheon yesterday. He takes a pessimistic view of farming . conditions in the Lower Fraser Valley, pointing out that at many places there is less rural settlement and' production than there was 20 years ago. ".Moreover, conditions are' likely' to grow worse instead of better if heroic measures are not taken to. turn the tide of population back to 'the land. Among tlie measures of assistance proposed in addition to state aid in 'clearing the land was the establishment of a central depot in Vancouver, where produce could be marketed and a crusade on the part of ��������� local consumers against imported produce. 'Another alleviating factor, he declared, would be better arid cheaper transportation facilities of' the surriund- ing districts. ��������� Mr. James Findlay,. the new president, occupied.,the ch'airAH'e announced, that Mr. W. W.'.Foster,.assistant minister of works, would-be the speaker.at the next .luncheon. Mr. Hill-Tout said: ' ��������� "I am taking it for granted that you all agree with me.that agriculture in its various forms is as important" to- 'day in the economic life of a-people as it ever was, notwtihstanding the enormous emphasis laid upon industrial enterprises characteristic- of our own day. "Personally, 1 go farther than this, and say that no state or country can be permanently prosperous if due and enlightened regard be net given to its agricultural interests, ancl the cultivators of the soil be not aided ancl encouraged-in every legitimate way. "That this" due regard and encouragement have not been given generally in our time to agriculture is only too obvious by the wholesale desertion of the rural districts by the brightest ancl best of our young people, and by the extraordinary .and alarming growth and congestion of urban populations. 'io .take our own province as an example Greater Vancouver alone, fo say nothing of the other.urban centres, contains almost, half the population of the province, and it looks as if that rate would be increased rather than diminished as time goes on. "I do not hesitate to say that when and wherever this state of things prevails there is something radically wrong in the condition of the rural districts, something seriously .wanting ancl unattractive in the life of agricultural communities.' "We may cry 'Back to the land till we are hoarse, but unless we do something to make the existence of the cultivators of the soil more attractive, remove some of the difficulties rfnd hardships with which they have to contend, and, above ah, secure them a reasonable remuneration for their labor that cry will have but"little eJfecf, and the evil will grow from bad to worse. ��������� . " , , . "This question is not a purely local one,'but is world-wide, and is much too large and complex to discuss with any, satisfactory resu'lts/m an occasion like this so I shall confine my remarks this'afternoon to agricultural problems, as they affect our own province, and more particularly our own immediate district. And chief among these is the slow development of our agricultural areas and resources, and the unsatisfactory-condition of our home markets, and particularly the great market of Vancouver. x"No one who has had any acquaintance with the agricultural'development in this province, and has its interests at heart, can be satisfied with the progress it has made, or is making'. "There are areas in the Lower Fraser Valley where the population i3 less today, than it was-twenty years ago, and that, too, in localities where transportation is not, wantinng; arid the "proportion ' of cultivated land throughout the whole/valley is, as far as I have been able to gather, little if any more than it was a decade ago, in other words, only about 'fifteen per conl. of the 'total cultivatable acreage. "Mr. President, T am a Vancouver- il.e. myself, I contribute to your rev- f-nuc, both directly and indirectly. I have seen this city of which we are ail so "justly proud, grow from a village to her present loading position. My faith in her future has never wavered. T believe she is. destined 1o play a great and important part, in the future of the province and Dominion;- but speaking as.an agriculturist I cannot acquit her of a thoughtless, if not selfish, indifference towards the welfare of the agricultural communities. 1 am bound to say she has not done lier duty in" the past to the producer of the Fraser Valley. Vancouver is our best and biggest market within the province and as we have assisted to build her up we have a moral right to expect, that she will conserve her markets for us-. Time and again during the last twenty years, efforts have been made to establish a general market here, where we might send our produce and hope''to,'get-a reasonable, return for it. - "You know as well as'I, that these efforts have repeatedly-'-failed and'we have 'been left to ship our produce to, the commission man, where it has to enter into an unfair competition with | the older and.more highly developed' lands on the American side, through long and strongly established trade organizations, with results that- are anything but encouraging to the' produce raisers of British Columbia. I have never yet met a.person who has had occasion fo. ship produce in any quantity to Vancouver commission irien who has not .got some discouraging tale to tell. Let me relate a little experience of my own hoc. ,A few seasons ago I had a large orchard of prunes for sale, some,,'ten tons. I shipped about four tons 'in different consignments to commisison men in Vancouver. Prunes were then selling to the consumer at. 40 cents the crate, aud remained throughout the seasou at that price. I did not net 5 cents a crate on the whole shipment, ancl the last consignment of seventy- five crates���������that is, some 1,500 pounds ���������netted me the enormous sum of 18. cents, not the price of the nails in the crates. What was the fault here? Not the quality of my prunes, nor. the lack of proper packing, but competition with shipments from American sources. The wholesalers had their usual supplies from across the line, for which . they had paid ��������� a certain figure, and they could not swamp the market with my prunes; consequently the major portion of them were left in their cellars to rot and I was called upon to, pay the cost of carting them to the crematory. "This is a fair sample of the result of many of our shipments, and 1 could give scores of similar- experiences of other shippers. "I am convince dby twenty years* experience in my own locality that the only salvation of the produce-grower is tho appointment, of ���������experienced Government organizers and Iii'spec*. tors;, the establishment of cold storage centres and a proper and workable system of collection and; distribution, Tlie Government that will undertake this task will do, more for the permanent prosperity of the province and for the advance of agriculture, than any that has yet existed. "Mayor Baxter, a couple of Wednesdays ago,-welcomed, tlie, delegates of the'Fraser Valley Publicity Bureau in this hall and promised- them the sympathy and support of the��������� town. His attitude and sentiments were admirable and, I believe, genuine and sincere, but words of sympathy, how- I0AR0 MEETS AT GIFFORD NO The regular meeting of the Matsqui, School Board was held In the Matsqui Agricultural Hall, Gilford, Saturday, March 1st, at 11 a.m.. ,. ; The members of the-trustee board - present were "Messrs.'

Friday, March 21, 1913 FOWLS PLENTIFUL AT THE , MARKET It would appear that, the Borden government will be forced to go to. the country on their naval bill. It looks as though the opposition had finally decided upon that matter. There are marly amusing little scenes in the house at Ottawa these days if what' we read in the daily papers is a true picture oi: the happenings at Ottawa. There is no reason to believe otherwise. History repeats itself, and sometimes it repeats itself much quicker than other times: The present policy of tlie Liberals was ��������� no doubt copied from the Conservatives when the reciprocity bill was under discussion,. Of course no one is at the present time able to say that the election results will be the same, although the Liberals are apparently hopeful that should the naval bill be a matter for the Canadian voter to give his decision on, that Laurier will again command the majority at Ottawa. Nothing' like being optimistic. Thousands of people would die each year were .it not for the high hopes of the future. While in Canada very r6cently "Joe" Martin is quoted as saying, ���������'Borden's naval policy will carry because the country knows that Laurier is bluffing." The people of the Fraser Valley Avill hail with delight the fact that the Board of Trade and the people of New Westminster, are attempting to make the New Westminster market the best that it is possible to make it. The farmers need a good market where they can sell everything that is grown on the land. With both Vancouver and New Westminster working to im: prove their markets' the future looks much brighter for the farmer and fruitgrower of the Fraser Valley. The market is what he requires to build up prosperity. It is the right of every British and Canadian subject of the full age of twenty-one years that he have the privilege of by his vote saying what kind of government he desires in this province. To do this every person. eligible 0should make it his business to register his vote before the 7th ��������� of April. That is the date set for the list to be in the hands of the registrar. Then let every reader not delay in registering his vote, for he is not oh the, list .now, and will not have a voice in the coming provincial and dominion elections unless he registers before the 7th of April, next, this year. A law has been passed in the state of' Washington, that an alien" who shall declare his intention of becoming a citizen shall be permitted to hold land other than agricultural land. This applies to the white race. Objection was taken to this bill by oue of the members, as he thought it was the ''opening wedge" by which Canadians could gain control of large amounts of city property. The same bill also provides that any corporation,, a majority of the stock of which is held by aliens, shall be considered alien, insofar as legality is concerned. This does not give those who are not born under the stars and stripes much show in the state of Washington. The law respecting the naturalization of aliens in Canada is contained in chapter 113 of the revised statutes of Canada. This act provides that an alien who is of the full age of twenty- one years, and not an idiot, lunatic or married woman, may become a British subject as a Canadian by taking the oath of allegiance, and also an oath that he intends to remain in Canada. He must have resided in .Canada not less than three years, or been in the service of the government' of Canada or any of the provinces of Canada for not less than three years. The naturalization of an alien confers upon him a municipal provincial and parliamentary franchise, but before being able to exercise Ms right of franchise in a provincial or municipal election such naturalized citizen would have to fulfil the conditions, as to provincial and municipal qualifications for voters of the franchise act of the province in which he happened to be residing. To fulfil some of the conditions, especialy those of municipal the naturalized alien Avill have to hold land. There are many American-born citizens in Canada* today who, having taken the oath of allegiance, are enjoying all rights as Canadian citizens, even to that of holding land. In this way aliens who become Canadian citizens enjoy the rights and privileges just as though they had been born in Canada. But, according to the law of Washington a Canadian can never become 'the legal possessor of agricultural land, but he can own all the town property he likes. Mayor Baxter should be a proud man as the head of affairs in Vancouver, now that he has seen the result of his endeavors to make the C. N. R. agreement pass with such a majority. It spells progress for Vancouver, for the present at least, and the future will take care of itself, especially if the city sees that the railway company carries out their part of the agreement to the letter of the law. The people had every opportunity of discussing the pros and eons and posting themselves so that they could vote according to the dictates of their own good judgment. A supply of eggs equal to that of mand caused the price of this commodity' to steady, on its - ownward career and. remain at .30 cents a dozen, with a strong tendency to strengthen at the regular market on i'-riday last. A pleasing briskness characterized the poultry and egg departments, while on the other hand the market for farm produce and vegetables was very slow. The increased demand for fowl oi' all kinds, although causing the prices or some especially fine ducks to ioar to $25 and 1*42ti per dozen, did not .naterially affect the price's, which remained throughout about the same as last week and a much greater de- last week. Vegetables, too, despite the poor market remained stationary, although a tendency to weaken ' was noticed. Cabbage was sold at 2 cents a pound, one cent less than last week, in the other departments the market remained about tho same as' last week no immediate change in the prices being anticipated. A good suply of fresh salmon and halibut was offered, salmon selling for from 15c to- 20c a pound, and halibut for 12 1-2 cents a pound. Fresh sturgeon is expected next week. As next Friday is Good Friday the regular weekly market will be held on Thursday morning, and an extraordinary supply of eggs, poultry of all .duds and Easter (lowers is expected. At the auction sale, heavy draughts were in good demand two teams being disposed of, one. at $895 and one for' |S20.
