C. \ ������i" yw������ 5tf������������ . ���������, A BHght Future for the Town of Abbotsford Abbotsford lias to-day just as bright prospeds as any small town in the Fraser Valley, and there is no doubt the future- is to be a golden one. With railroads galore crossing or centering in the town there is no reason why Abbotsford should, not be a railroad lown of considerable importance, both from a railway and a shipping point of view. To be able to reach north, south, cast and wesl over competing lines should be an inducement for manufacturing and wholesale business institutioni Abbotsford as it was two years ago. locating here, as the shipping facilities of none of the larger'cities of British Columbia afford better opportunities for-securing cheap railway rales. There are also available sites at less expense to the purchaser than can be found in any of the coast' cities. A shipping centre thus guaranteeing the besT: of railway service, good electric power and- abundance of opportunity for business and manufacturing sites, should be an inducement to make Abbotsford an important distributing point. Abbotsford as it was on March 1st., 1910. * The land for miles surrounding Abbotsford affords the agriculturist a chance to carry on horticulture, mixed farming and dairying. And there is plenty of land of just as good soil as there is to be found in the Fraser Valley. Matsqui and Sumas prairie, adjacent to the town, are too well known to need any boosting as to their productiveness, and the high land to the west has been found the equal of any for fruit growing. Abbotsford is the market for this rich distrid. "Watch Abbotsford Grow" is the slogan; and don't forget it! Railways Galore! ' - jj, ��������� It is claimed for Abbotsford that the town will have more railways centering in it than any other burg'in the province The first railway to build through Abbotsford v/as the Canadian Pacific; then came the Great Northern. The construction of the V., V. & E. will begin shortly���������just as soon as the camps are built and the construction machinery arrives. The B. C. E. R. to Chilliwack is now under way, with the rails laid as far as Abbotsford and the line men following up about eight miles behind them. It is expeded that the cars will be running by October 1st. Notwithstanding the fact that the Canadian Northern is "surveying along the Fraser the report is current that running privileges are to be obtained from the V��������� V. 6c E. from Hope to the coast. When all these lines are in operation through Abbotsford the transportation facilities should be of the best. I &W^il^^ ffltfaur*^ TWO THE ABBOTSFORD POST, ��������� ABBOTSFORD, B. C.

"Long 1 vc the King I" Tlie Bivi.h Empire! mourns the death of His Majesty King Edward VIJ. one of tlie, most gallant spirits of an illustrious royal line. Yet the "King's government must go on" The duties of state are ever very pressing. The herald who an nounces with one breth, "The King is dead, with tlie next proclaims, "Long live the King" Long live King George VI The provincial government has begun the year's work in the town and it looks as if the people here are to receive this year their full returns from taxes paid. The member for the. district Mr. Gawloy is to be congratulated on the amount of money at his disposal to spend in the district. o CHASING THE RAINBOW A town where a man lives and makes his money should be good enough for him to invest his earn ings and profits. Th's does not a- ways appear to be the rule. In every town in the interior of ths province the people have contracted the coast real estate gambling ma- cia, and the game is being played lo the limit. Every month thousands of dollars are being sent out of the city to keep up monthly pay ments. In order to get the best value for your money invest in Ab botsford real estate. It may not make a millionare of you right a- way quick but it is sure to prove a safe investment and will surely' give good returns. Abbotsf</rci is bound to forge ahead. Now is the time to get in or, the ground floor. The heading which we expected for our first issue arrived in time for this issue and it is hoped tho readers of the Post will appreciate the effort made to have a heading for the paper that will always be an advertisement to the district no matter where the paper may go Realizing that the fruit i/ndustry will form a greater part of the occupation of the surrounding district in the near future due prominence has been given to that. The dairying industry has been carried on by the early and present set- tLers with success Ave. saw no reason why the cow should be forgotten. Excellent shipping facilities- with cheap power, electric and water, should be inducements for- manufaetur'nt institution thus the factory building on the heading. As promised in our last issue we are able to give the two pictures as promised. Since Mr. Murray took the picture of Abbotsford on March 1st.a number of new buildings have been erected, and there are *more .following. T/he following, is taken from the News of New Westminster. The blind may lead the blind, but not- not even Laurier's visit accompanied by the whole cabinet, can blind ���������all the people of the prairie provin ces. The News might allow the Conservatives a few of the! new- settlers in any esbse, just to hate variety, wliich is idways the spice of life. Read the following; "The 'thousands of Americana w ho have decided to make their.hornles in the We3t will ally thernselves to one political party or the other, and every reason ex- isf.s why their support should be ���������given to the government which O'pened up the great West, provided transportation, school accommodation, and preserves law and order. These men will feel they owe a debt of gratitude to the Send the Post to your frienMs in the Liberal government, and the very best political move that could be Mr. R. J.

The: editor of the paper is' to take to to the woods for, a week arrcl tiie management of the paper and job office is to be turned over1 to the Methodist chuueh.

No provision however appears to be made for the paying of Hi_ht drafts. Hints for may planting The enthusiaHtk' amateur wil! find lots to dj in May. Many kinds of seeds and 'plants may be started in the open. Have the ground-well prepared and enriched Dig deeply, remove all stones and rubbish and pulverize the soil thoroughly. .Before starting to , plant or sow, have the polt or debt, raked level. 'Be rreat in all that yuu do. Owing,to the ear iness ol the season this year, much of thi.5 work has been doue.already. The soil for vegetables should be broken finely and to the depth uf tiie spade. Work in a liberal application of barnyard manure, and. wood ashes also, if they arc available. Onions, peas spinach and other hardy vegetables may ,bc planted as scon as the ground s fit. Leave" cucumber, corn, squash and the tender kinds until all danger of frost is passed. Sow the seeds in moist or freshly stirred soil. i)'- not- plant too deeply. ��������� Flowers that have been started in the house should not be trans- transplanted to the open ground without first being hardened off. Gradually introduce the plants to the changed conditions by placing them out doors each day for a few hours. Seedlings thac are crowded in the boxes or in hotbeds should be transplanted to other boxes oi to coid frames. Cannas, colms, crotons, alternantheras and plants of similar nature should not by planted otit until the first of June When' the ground is ready sow seeds of nasturtiums, balsam and portulaca, sweet peas and other hardy annuals. Do not sow the seed thickly. Hardy annuals should be thinned before they get crowded. Giadioli may Le planted towards, the end of the month. Place the bulbs three or four ii.ee*; dee..- anC about six or eight inches apart in row's or clumps. Dah ias also may be planted late in May, but it is better to leave them until June. Plant out perennials and biennials that were .wintered in cold frames. Divide o'.d ciumps of perennials and when transplanting remove all weeds in order to save further trouble. Oid pereiin'al borders that are renovated in this manner will lose little in effect ii the spaces are filled with annualo this year, and until the permanent plants once more require the room Plan to cover with climbing- plants, bare places onhouse, ver anddah, fences and outbuildings. Morning glories, sweet peas, nas- tuertiums, wi.d cucumbers and a great'many other things are useful One of the best v nes is Cobea scan deus. This may be started in the house from seed or plants may be purchased from florists. When the spring bulbs are done flowering, it is best if possible to _ allow the tops to wither and die before taking up the bulbs. It it is necessary totake them earlier, however, the bulbs should be lifted and heeled-in just below the ground in some place out of the way and ieft there to July. \ pEA GENERAL MERCHANTS ���������'-rn ii1 i- t-iimi wrnfuMfctiwiii i m_n.i ntitTTrrinin ������> imrir-fnmt iVJiATiW"-*-niii������������������tMtfyit*iTiiMMiiii������~M Only first class Groceries, Dry Goods,. .Flour, Feed, and Grain Boots and Shoes Kept in stock ^EssendeneAve., ABBOTSFORD, B.C. <J?i*J GXKXSBBZXEm SBSSSfi^SSMAS) ffiiSKE!'* <EBaJ53aBISHB������ eEi GSZEEKHMZXO fit littJttrmn.\aczv*KAn<ztm*m.Tc,n-n> r������������-u-w*.*M������i ������H.Ttiran-MWivvi(N. i atnottimmii'tiwmvnuttM'i VBBNRtBZBBBBBl SBfa. 9 [i PATRONIZE" HOME INDUSTRY ' g (Jj ������������3.-ag������������l.o������������uniCT������^lCl������l.i������lHf������..������������^������.������.^.MM-.������~��������� . .���������. ,���������,���������,!_ |���������|,..,M_. ��������� , ,,, <j gj. riamess. ana oa m������niM-iiiiiHUfiuiinuiw>a������ Mr. Farmer, when you require a new Set of Harness,-a new Saddle, 'Saddlery 'Hardware, or anything in the Horse Clothing, call around and see ���������1tauil'_k H _rf*MU>3fc- MfMKKH fi������**ft?������u and you will be suited.

The record automobile run between Calgary and Edmonton was made: on Saturday, April 16, in a Hupmobile- The machine made the trip in ten hours and fifteen minutes. Mr. Lincoln the driver' left Calgary at 4 ;50 on Saturdaya morning and arrived at Edmonton at 3:05, and the distance is 205 ml3 by road. The amount of gasoline that was used was nine ^gallons. So important has the manufacture of taxicabs become in France that it is now regarded as a regular product by all makers. There is almost a famine in taxicabs at the present time owing to the heavy demand for them throughout the continent. When putting a car in commission and occasionally, say every month or two, the interval depending on the amount of use the car is given, the hub caps should be thoroughly cleaned -out, all the grease and verdigris removed, after \vh!ch the caps shou'd be rep ac ed. It is also well to clean out the hubs and bearings, washing them thoroughly with gasoline so that dirst and grit will be dislodged. When this has been done the moving parts should again be lubricated and hub caps put back in place, and the car can be driven without fear of trouble from improperly lubricated axles. The fencing of the school ground is nearing completion.

Allan Purvis, called from the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway at Nelson to' take the management of the Nevv* We-stm inater-Chilliwack ibrancli, has beeng iven authority over the: entire' interurban system from Vancouver to Chilliwack as super t, interident, all local managers being subordinated to him: Tlie; change should redound to the bene fit to the B. C. Electric and the travelling public." They say "that Allan Purvis has made good as superintendent of the Chilliwack- New Westminster line now und^r construction, that he has brought crdet' out of chaos on this interur- banl ink, has shown his executive aoi'h':y, his power to grasp details and yet not be smothered by them 'and yet.not be smothered, by them and his skill to handle the workers , under him in their various capac- jrii.*3.
