Landy explained "the difficulties-under which this "year's crop had been marketed. ' Mr: Eddie urged upon",the growers the -necessity of purchasing the St. Mun'go cold storage plant" at New" Westminster, as by its use during, the past;season in controlling the market supply the growers had made a gain of .two cents per pound'on-raspberries.' *A cold storage' plant is essential .for the successful: marketing of the crop for the coming"-"'season,' as the berries will' be- more'" plentiful with poorer .prospects fpr^'marketing. Mr. Barnes spoke on the advisability of fruit men uniting' as . the only means for-the improvement, of conditions; and in answer to' die statement that the independent shipper could secure as - much!'' for ..his fruit-as the men in an,association, he assterted'that they were.:~sure' \ to' lose by competing againsti\one-; another'and over-supplying.,itlie ; markets.

In comparison with .fruit growers of other districts, B..C.-,wa;3 the only district that,.had shown any profit for the .past season. Mr.' Grant expressed the opinion that better results would be obtained through the berrymen .sending their own distributors to the prairies,' as by so doing the markets would,.be controlled by, themselves in place of jobbers. Using as an example the Okanagan fruit growers Mr. Grant explained that the $40,000 required for th-i purchase of the St. Mungo cold storage plant could be met by-the berry- men by each member of the association being canvassed to take shares in the building to an amount in proportion to his crop. . When taking shares each member would sign an order for the deductions of a levy per crate on each crate of -.'berries marketed. This collection would be accepted by the banks and the purchase price advanced. By signing up all members' of the association on a five year contract, and levying nine cents per crate the first and seven cents per crate the next three years, all charges in interest and sinking fund would be met. and the plant would become the property of the association in 192 6. This plan is meeting with the approval of the B. C. Berry Growers' Association, who will "make a canvas at an early date. As a united body, with theruse of a cold storage plant improving the marketing conditions, the -- future outlook of the fruitgrowers of 13. C. is very bright. AIR.

A. BATES. Editor and Proprietor i&X., ������ FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1922 Government and Press One conclusion reached at the recent Liberal Convention at Nelson was that greater publicity should be given to the work of the 'Government, and, presumably,- that means its methods of administration.. Premier Oliver says there is a plan afoot for more publicity for the Government's work. We can assure him that the press will welcome this proposal. This newspaper, for. one, has always believed that tlie publrc are kept too much In the dark about Provincial affairs, it might be suggested to;the Premier that there should be a sharp line of distinction drawn between propaganda work in the p.rebs and the recounting of actual governmental accomplishments. It might be'pointed- out to him, ' too, that the policy whereby all announcements, even about purely routine departmental matters, arc supposed to'emanate from Ministers is one of the main .reasons why there has been such little publicity recently about the' Government's work. Ministers are expected to make announcements about matters upon which they are ill informed. Tt would; be far better ,if such statements came from technical employees of the Government, even at the risk of the elected representatives of the people losing some of the political kudos that might be involved. ��������� We are very certain that newspapers, ��������� irrespective of their party affiliations, are only too ready to give the' public all 'legitimate news of what the' Government is' doing. We do not think������for"instance, that the Premier, or any of his Ministers has ��������� ever made a request to this newspaper for the publication of any statement that has been' refused". Space has even, been given to' matter that did not constitute news. In the policy to be ad main consi the actual accomplishments of- the Government are .made public. It is what is done, far more than what is said, that constitutes news; and we' believe the public would deeply appreciate the knowledge impregnating our Cabinet'Ministers. '-So.far as the methods'of making known the v. ork of the:-��������� Government. are 'concerned Premier Oliver should call newspapermen'into conference with him; It is not their fault that his Government '"'did not know the desirability of publicity/', They-have been camped in his anterooms ever since he attained power: ~ The pregs is the medium ,by which his Government can get into closer touch with the people, ft rests with himself and his Government to'regard the press as one.of the elements in the upbuilding of the .Province.���������Victoria Colonist. vestment of millions of capital. tIt. would also drive'the better classes of immigrants to other parts of,th..e Dominion' which know how to conduct the public/business.

' the 'International Court of Justice at The Hague. He Is one who thinks that human nature must be made over before'there can be permanent universal peace. He says: "The world is, the same every- where. Human nature, is the same. It is this same human nature which balks the passage of peace. So long as we. love glory, so long as' we worship bravery, so long as we thrill at the cull of battle, so land will we have war. In the great span of life we make just so much progress in each generation. We creep forward a little, make our seemingly important strides' in progress, when a new condition arises, and back we slump ���������ten, twenty, thirty years. The work of years of science, the efforts of the laboratory, all arc lost in the answer to the cry of justice. Mothers may say they do not raise their sons as food for cannon, but when the call comes these same ' mothers will be' the first to answer., Conditions change, life changes, the rules we may make this summer . may .be as outgrown as our last year's clothes. Life .is fluid, ever, changing, can not prophesy or plan." ��������� Unsightly black lines, sometimes jagged and irregular, which mar.the appearance of practically all concrete roads and which are due to the natural color of materials used to fill joints and cracks, will be avoided by the. use of a material for the purpose developed in-the laboratories of the bureau of public' roads, if tests by actual use prove as successful as expected. The material has the same color as concrete, and when used to fill cracks and joints the surface has the appearance of' a, continuous and unbroken slab, to the.'casual observer. No particular advantage over other good materials is claimed for the preparation other .than its color, and it Is ''probable that the cost will ,��������� be somewhat,, higher', but not prohini- live". ' ' ' For several weeks a section of road with expansion joints filled with this material haa been under observation, and the results are entirely satisfactory, but a longer test will be necessary before it can' be recommended for general use. The mixture consists of approxi mutely 1 2 parts of rosin, 1 part crude rubber, with sufficient barium sul phate'to give the desired color. In prepartion the rubber is dissolved in gasoline and the rosiii Js then mixed in with an- application of heat the coloring material being added as required. Any desired consistency can be obtained by varying the proportions. A material with remarkable adhesive properties is produced and which.can be heated so that it will flow into the cracks arid joints. A friend told the other day how tie almost lost a good nurse.

FRUIT WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE P. G. B? What to do with the Pacific Great Eastern "Railway is-the most difficult problem British Columbia or any of her many governments' have had to face since confederation. It is almost unanimously agreed that the road should not have been built but unfortunately such a conclusion does not relieve us of the burden.- The road exists, represents an investme.t out o������tpublic funds of oyer forty-four million dollars and loses money each year it is operated. ' Something has got to-be done. The.'reports of the experts who recently; examined the road at the request of Premier Oliver practically advise"5 that the road be .scrapped, rolling stock and rails sold for what they will fetch and the whole project abandoned���������a policy quite businesslike and one that would probably be adopted by a . business corporation. But there'is a difference between a business corporation and a Province of Canada. A corporation can find itself in possession of a white elephant'assign and go into bankruptcy, and that's" about all there is to it. British Columbia is neither a corporation or a bankrupt but the white elephant is perfectly apparent; all we can do is paint him red, feed him and put him to work for nobody cares to buy him in his present condition. British Columbia must not lie down under the load. We cannot scrap the P. G. E. and then go on for generations in the task of footing the cost. Even if there were no other reason, we cannot teat up the roals or any part of them and abandon the scattered settlers who have spent their resources and scvo.'ul years of their lives in .building farms and homes. These men and women have "pioneered and endured all manner of" hardships of similar experience. They went into the new districts with faith in the Province, the future and the people of British Columbia. It is impossible to abandon them if we ever hope to draw more settlers to our vacant land. If British Columbia should aban-, don the P. G. E. the province in so doing would win a reputation in the financial world for being unresource- ful and inefficient in the management of its affairs; such a reputation would cost us the prospective in- * Why, you ask?

C. is a convenient dumping ground; there are no permanent benefits from this trade; , on the -contrary, good Canadian money goes out- of the country as the growth of, our fruit industry is retarded. . . Provincial fruit growers are jus't reaching the point in organizatioa .where they realize it is absolutely necessary for them to lay the facts before our consuming public-so that, when B. 0. housewives, ask and demand 13.

This is not pleasant news for retail stores in our average small town, but it is what many may expect. . There is'oniy one way in which the insiduous mail order campaigns can be com batted,, and that'is'by local merchants' frankly explaining their merchandizing possibilities to the people through advertising. ' It is a well-known fact that the big "mailorder concerns maintain departments of considerable magnitude to check up the towns where the local merchants appear to lack enterprise. There they concentrate their batteries of advertising and catalogue distribution. The mail order house never prospers in a town where' the local merchants advertise consistently, because the mail order men know they cannot compete with the' local store if the merchant understands his" business. To hold his " own, however, the local merchant must not hide his light'under a bushel. When the merchants'get ready to talk plainly to the people .they will have nothing to fear from the mail order man, but if they remain silent, .then the outsider will surely burrow his way into their profits. ,Self satisfaction has spelled many a bankruptcy.���������Summerland Review. WHAT BROUGHT THE BUYING 1- SPIRIT BACK TO OUR TOWN While it was not originally expected that the automobile dealers would reap much of an immediate harvest, yet it was felt that the Industry would be stimulated for' future sales. The results were very, gratifying both in sales and in displays, for in addition to the makers sold by Holdrege dealers, fine examples of closed job9 were displayed, among the cars- some bearing the proudest names in ;the automobile' business. .The local weekly papers fell into line and carried front-page news STUART MOTORS Chevrolet and'Nash Agents Mission City, B.

BrTWKfffffiT^-^*"3 stories of the,doings of the show; stories were also used in "the weekly papers of the surrounding towns and one Holdrege store which publishes a store papei\ of unusual excellence played the automobile show most effectively. Catching the spirit of'the show, they wanted it to succeed. In addition, a special sheet, the "Holdrege Automobile Booster" was issued. This was got out iirthe form of a seven-column, eight^page newspaper. The front page was given over to telling of the various features of the automobile show- and automobile gocsip'of varying interest. Holdrege merchants are. unani mous in stating that- the automobile show brought in the biggest -week's volume of business,the town had enjoyed since the fall of 1919 and; a pronounced livening of business conditions has been noticed ever since the show ended. Over $3,000 was taken in at thb door in admission charges, and, with the concession money, the Holdrege Commercial Club was more than $.400 to the good after all expenses had been paid. Thus the budget was not only untouched, but the individual pledges of the members were lessened by that amount. In other words, the business man of this little town, put over a com- munity event that fairly lifted thorn out of a slough of despondency, gave a new feeling of confidence to the people of the county, a confidence which was expressed by making tho week of the show one of the bigge3t weeks in volume of business the town has ever enjoyed. And all it cost was the team work and effort of tlje men behind the idea.

Bowser's Epistle Is Pu VICTORIA, Oct. 9.���������Premier Oliver today came out with the full /private and confidential" letter which Mr. Bowser, Conservative ieader, wrote the late Premier Brewster in which he offered to agree not to attack the government if it would accept a settlement of P. G E. matters-with Foley, Welch and Stewart, the contractors, along lines proposed by R. T.% Elliott, K. C. f The "settlement" was refused by die Liberal government. Instead an arrangement was made by Premier Oliver as, a result of which the government sol' the province obtained hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash mare than it would have under the Elliott and Bowser endorsed proposal. The premier repeats his charges that Foley, Welch and Stewart provided $500,000 for the Conservative party campaign fund arid that because of this Mr. Elliot "could and did approach Mr. Bowser and induced him to write the letter.," ' " , Mr. .Bowser's letter'is as follows: "Victoria, B.

This will make it quite certain that this vessel will be able to maintain her, speed and time scheduled with more certainty than if she remained as a A coal-burning ship. At the same" time sufficient of the coal bunkers have been left intact, and. the furnace fittings for burning ,-oal 3tored in the ship, so that at short. notice, if the oil-fuel supply fail, ite is possible to reconvert the vessel; to a coal-burning ship, and so pre-i vent the laying-up of the vesselj shnvld oil fuel not be available.

WEEK IN OAJ,GARY , As0is usual at this time of year there is now a demand for those fruits the season for which has practically closed. This is especially noticeable in the cases of , peaches plums and prunes. One retailer states that the number of people who missed buying prunes while they, were in season is surprisingly large. All this notwithstanding the. fact, that every variety of fruit was widely advertised and' housewives v .advised when the season was,closing. There are still a few peaches coming in and these are moving out' readily, as is the case with all varieties which are nearing the end of the season. A shipment, of wrapped/.Niagara peaches in lugs' arrived, in . Calgary this week and when opened ��������� many were found, to have developed .brown rot. The best of the fruit ��������� wholesaled at $1.25 per case. This fruit was originally of very fine ,quality but evidently could, not . stand up under the long haul. It is extremely doubtful in the minds of , many- wholesalers whether it is'possible to successfully market Ontario peaches as far west as Alberta. There is a good "supply of tomatoes in lugs' on this market at the present time. This is very fine stock and is being sold at 70^ per lug. The tomatoes arriving on this- market' this year have been very', good , and it would seem that this would continue to be a splendid outlet for B.^C. torn. atoes if the quality set by these latest arrivals is -maintained. Some very fine Mcintosh, apples are arriving in Calgary and'there is a good demand "for;tlie , No. ,1 .s'tocK, .despite (the fact that crates containing mixed grades are being offered. ' at $1.65 retail. These will'retard the sale of No. 1 stock to, a certain extent, but nevertheless the ,' prime quality is being disposed of iiijarge quantities and once the mixed grades' are finished there should be a largely increased demand for the No. 1. The week in general has been, rather quiet, but there has been a steady run of business and it is expected that within the next two weeks there will be considerable demand for all lIio later varieties of fruits. '.: Netted Com potatoes are wholesaling at $3C per ton, and owing to- the fact that the potato crqpMbcally ��������� is generally good it is har'dly. to be expected that there will be. any ad- - vance in his price. Those closely l'"n touch with the market are even of the opinion that there might be a slight reduction. A quantity of pears arrived this week slightly over-ripe and., .'many had developed soft spots. .Ttiese. were disposed of at from 50# to $1.00 per crate. Good sound stock is bringing from $2.00 to $2.50 per box. ' - - The praire had its first snow of the season on Wednesday last. < The snow was followed by a considerable rainfall which was of -immense-bene- . fit to the soil. The storm had,the effect of clearing the atmosphere- and was followed by sunny days whmh are allowing the completing of- the threshing operations. It is stated that these are about 'three-quartern completed and that a ,week or ten days of continued fine weather will see' all the grain in storage., The nights are frostly and amateur gardeners are hastily removing the'.r spuds and other vegetables. ALIHORT.A CHOP CONDITIONS Good weather during the week has enabled the farmers to harvest and thresh their grain under most favorable conditions. The bulk of the crop throughout the province is threshed, the balance only requires a few. days more of present weather to complete. Tlie outstanding feature of this, season's crop is the; high grade of wheat especially. Although about average in yield, considerably above in quality. Oats on the whole not-. very good and prices not " remunera-'. tive to farmer. Green feed showed great improvement during the past three weeks and is-In fine, condition. Plowing starting immediately threshing is completed, and good advancement already recorded with soil containing just sufficient moisture 'for efficient working. Livestock looking well, but cattle breeders not much encouraged at present prices and prospects. & m a / KrBBsmtmw oassaas THE ABBOTSFORD, jPOST, ABBOTSFOBD, B. a ARE YOU ONE?

Farmers', Phone 1909 Oriental Influx Serious Menace Abbotsford, B.C. ^ The subject under discussion at The Kamloops Rotary Club recently ���������was "The Oriental Menace," and Mr. McQuarrie handled his subject in a manner that gave a jolt to many present. While all had some idea of the growing menace of the invasion of the yellow races, few realized to what extent it was really among us, he said. Mr. McQuarrie opened his subject by stating that some years ago lie was a resident of Ashcroft. Then it was a white man's town, with scarcely a Chinaman in the vicinity. Today the town is run by Chinese, and white men are very much in the minority. . Steveston ;33 years ago was populated by white men, today it is Oriental. :; Indeed there are 1,300 Japs there. The entire fishing and canning industry is over run by Japs. Recently with a friend he went clown '.j watch the- fishing boats set out for sea.* Out of 100 boats- there was not a white man in the crews. The Japs', he declared,' practically control the entire fishing industry of B. C , with, the exception of the halibut fishing, which is too dangerous, and requires a white man to handle. ttecoming Menace It is not only in the fishing industry, however, that they are be- .. coming.a menace. In Vancouver City.last year over 1000 business^ licenses were, issued to Orientals. It-is not merely the fishing and market gardening, they are entering the Ok- ..anagan and other agricultural districts. They are in the grocery business and in every line that white men follow. There is not a town in ������. C. that is not over populated with -/the Oriental, and-that has not its ���������China town and Jap town. The Japanese officials admit there are -20,000 Japs .in Canada, Anyone know'ing'jthe Jap declared Mr. McQuarrie would not hesitate to double that figure and be nearly correct. There are 57,000 Chinese in Canada, and 38,000 of them in B. C. What Is To lie l>oiie? ������������������ What are we going to do, he asked. The birth rate of these people is so abnormal that ten years ago the ratio of Oriental children being born in Canada was 1 to 250 white children. Today it is 1 to ���������very 17 white children. VVhat is it to be in the next ten years? This was not a political question. He'was pleased to say that every representative from B. C. in the federal- house was strongly in favor of absolute exclusion. ��������� Restriction has been tried in every shape and'farm, and it has failed utterly. Head taxes have been set and other restrictions laid, but the Chinaman has found a way to gel. around all of them. They came under the guise of students, and then as merchants. In one year 1045 "merchants" entered Canada. Secret Agreement- A gentleman's agreement had been made with Japan. It was a secret agreement and he was strongly, oposed to anything in the nature of secret agreements. The people should know what agreements they have with other countries when immigration and their very existence is concerned. This gentleman's agreement, whatever it is', did not keep out the Jap. There was talk* in Ottawa when this matter was up for discussion that we must go carefully in case of oferiding these great countries. New Zealand, South Africa and Australia however did not worry about offending other countries'. They have endeavored to keep their countries l'or the white man, and adopted absolute seclusion of the Oriental. Canada, would be none the less loyal he considered, to the motherland and the empire if she also closed her doors. This was not a question of the present and of offending anyone. : It was a question of the future of Canada, of our- childron and our children's children. Whites are Tardy. It was true, he said, there was much to be said about the tardiness of the white men to take off their coat3 and work and that employers were often compelled to take Oriental labor when white labor was not available, but white men must be prepared to tackle any job and they had no right to grumble under such CHOIR CONCERT IS ENTERTAINING EVENT A very successful and enjoyable concert" was given in the Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening under the auspices of the Church Choir.

Most of the road work has been completed for the year, and few extra appropriations' were made. Mr. Peyton of the Maher road secured a vote of $7 5 towards bettering that road between his property and the Whatcom road. Councillor Frith reported .that the big fill on the McKenzie road was noaring completion. It was already possible for vehicles to get ov������r it, but he would require another $30j to finish the work properly. Mr. S. Goodchild, who is desirous of entering on a contract to repair the culverts and bridges on the Clayburn-Straiton road, where he is conducting logging operations, was informed that the government engineer must be consulted regarding expenditure on this road, as it is kept up on a fifty-fifty basis with the public works department, being partly in Township twenty. = Municipal Clerk Courtman reported that three properties offered at the tax sale the week before reverted to the municipality. One is a lot near Abbotsford, and the other are portions of the McKay homestead at Kligard. A very heavy bill for school expenses was caused by the improvements made to the structure of Muh- selwhite school. At a cost of approximately $000 this school has been set on fresh foundations and other repairs have been accomplished. Chilliwack Electoral District Closing portion of Riverside Roml.
