BOARD OF TRADE MEETS DELEGATION BE A VERS ACTIVE At the last meeting of the municipal council, Dr. King, the hue medical health officer, presented the following report: 1 have the pleasure of submitting my report as medical health officer for the year ending February 1, 1912. The following is a list of the contagious diseases whii h had to be dealt with during the year j__t ended. , Diphtheria, 2 08 ae; no deaflia. scarlet fever. 14 oases; 1 death, small pox, (i cases; no deaths. Typhoid fever, 6 cases; 2 deaths. Whooping cough, 10 cases; 1 eleath. Tuberculosis I consumption), 6 cases; 1 death. The- diphtheria cases were duly quarantined and the dwellings afterwards disinfected. As you will note, there was quite a wide-spread epidemic of scarlet fever���14 cases in all. Every effort was made by strictly enforcing the Quarantine Law. and disinfecting dwellings, schools, etc., to Mmlt its spread*. I in March 22nel. 1911. a cas�� of small pox was discovered In the municipality, which was at once reported by wire to the Provincial Board of Health, and also to the Local Board of Health. Every effort was made to stamp it out, by quarantine and vac- e inating of all those who had been in contact in any way with the infected perseins or dwellings. All parts of the municipality were visited and suspects examined, and where any doubt existed, they were quarantined. I am sure it is a matter for congratulation tei know that only five cases developed at that time. The smallest number In aiy municipality In the province where small pox made Its appearance. On December 21st, 1911, a case of small pox was found in Chinatown. Owing to the over- iTowding existing in that area, it was found necessary, as a matter of precaution, to quarantine as suspects the whole town for 16 days. No other cases appearing at the. expiration of that period, quarantine over the town was raised, but was continued over the infected house until January 29th. 19-12, when the period of contagion being passed lt was considered safe to raise the quarantine. The dwelling and effects were thoroughly fumigated and the perseins In contact with the disease disinfected before being allowed to come in contact with the public.

There were ii large, number present ind the programme was much enjoyed. One of the most appreciated Items was a dia- login- entitled "The Ladles' Aiel Meel tine, and the vaccinating of all suspects whei had not previously been vaccinated, or had the elWe-use, pre- vented its spreading. This result, when we- consider the> highly contagious nature of the disease, and often Its fatal termination is something for which we should be- thankful.

The presence of a strong deoul itlon consisting of Mr. Dune-���, chairman of transportation committee, and Mr. T. S. Annandale, chairman of agricultural committee, and Mr. L. M. Richardson, manager of New Westminster branch of the Royal Bank, and formerly, of Ladner, from New Westminster Board of Trade, helped c-einsid-erably to*focuss the attention of the Board upon the all-important subject of transportation.* The routine business was disposed of with the utmost dispatch, after which the chairman welcomed thj? j deputation and they, were voted a j seat in the meeting. Fa eh _of the visitors then briefly addressed the Board, explaining the purpose of the visit as an effort to get a better, understanding of the wishes of the Delta Board of Trade, so that the New Westminster Board of Trade could the meire intelligently co-operate as far as possible to secure them. Of course, they were after the business of the Delta and they were heart and soul with any move that would hetsp the business of British Columbia generally. They recognized that by helping the Delta they were helping themselves and they respectfully submitted that steps be taken to form a joint committee of representative members of the Delta and New Westminster boards of trade to-- gether with others of the Vancouver Board of Trade, if thought desirable. They earnestly desired there ' should be a very' free and frank discussion of the question from the Delta viewpoint, so that they could get to know the feeling of the Board on the matter. The friendly overtures of the visit- I ing deputation were acknowledged by Captain Brewster, chairman of transportation committee, and Mr. T. Lad- I ner. The former, opening the discussion by remarking he saw no reason why the Delta should not secure in the n'ear future better service either to Vancouver or New Westimnster, which ever was best. Mr. Ladner, who has taken a lively interest in the question for many years, was strongly of opinion that efforts should be put forth immediately to obtain a quick service with both places. This was not a question of a day or a year, but for all time. They were within IS miles of Vanceiuver. which offered them a splendid market feir 'their products am! he looked forward ito seeing Vancouver, Coquitlam and | New Westminster one- great city, and I he was more than ever convinced that a belt line- tak-lng in these districts with ths Delta was the feasible soheme. lie- would llke to ask New VVestirinster Hoard of Trade to assist 'he l>i-lta in getting e bridge SO as to be in touch with both Vancouver and New Westminster.

Secure this a.nel that could help to incerase the trade between Delta and the cities which at present was not enough to warrant a bridge. Mr. H.J. Hutcherson reminded the company that the Delta raised nn*- tenth Of the total produce of British Columbia, and yet they were worse off than the-y were. 2 5 years ago in the matter of transportation. Mr. Lanning was in favor of getting closer to New Westminster, but he was not prepared to do anything that would in any way mar the prospects of getting a bridge later. If New- Westminster were so anxious for trade, why was the SjS. Transfer laid off two or three months every yeas'? Councillor C. lirown challenged the! meeting to show how a tram line- would ke,-p a bridge back. Neit knowing of the movements of the Board of Trade he had. made a few enquiries on his own ace-ount with ' the officials of the B.C.E.'K. and had been told that the 1.14 miles from Scott Road to Ladner could be laid down for $ ISO,000. Mr. Annandale agreed that efforts should be made to g-et that line. He was in a position to say that there were three directors j of the B.C.E.R. with a sum of 15, million dollars to be expended in new | buildings and lines in British t'olum- , bia now on their way out from Eng- J land, and thought they should be approached in the interests of Delta. Mr. D. B. Grant thought now was the. time to stritfe tor a bridge. ' Messrs. McDiarmid, H. J. Wilson.' Dmbree and Wm. Kirkland also took part in the discussion. j The chairman suggested action be taken in accordance with the sugges- j tion of the deputation from New- Westminster. Ultimately it was agreed that Messrs. 11. J. Hutcherson, T. Ladner and C. Brown be a committee to meti representatives of the municipal councils and boards of trade of Vancouver. South Vancouver, Pblnt Grey, New Westminster, Richmond, and Surrey, to me-et and eeinfer in the near future. The meeting closed with the usual courtesies between the Hoard uf Trade and the- deputation. Laci-oHsc Loonw Big for Another Season���Officers l-'.livt-'il���Date of Ball hived. The Beaver Lacrosse Club has re- e organized for another season, and every'hing points to a most successful year. One great cause for satisfaction is the fact that arrangements have been made with Mr. Norman M-dOallum, whereby the club will have- the use of a lieid right in town for practice purposes. One of the drawbacks of the past has been the long distance from the exhibition grounds, which discouraged the boys from turning out to practice. That particular difficulty will be obv)ated this year and the trouble of Insufficient practice, which was very apparent last year, should be eliminated. Membership tickets are now being sold and a healthy spirit of enthusiasm prevails. The colors of past seasons will be retained by the club; and the annual ball will be held on March is. The committee in charge of arrangements is Messrs. J. Williamson. Ft. Wilson, G. Grauer, A. Scott, H. Brown. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: Hon. president, X. McCallum; president, 'no. Guichon: vice-president, w. h. Taylor; secretary-treasurer. H. A. MacDonald; manager. J. Williamson; Club Captain, F. Guichon. Executive committee: W. McRae. W. H. Wilson.

MAY EXTEND TO LVNHEX States the Blaine Journal: The report is current that the transmission line ot the British Columbia Electric Company is being constructed toward Lynden from Sumas und that the poles are now within two miles of that town. Coupled with this report, a Vancouver business man stated In Bellingham Wednesday thut this company would soon apply for a franchise for a pole line in the city of Bellingham, with a view of entering that field. These reports, coupled with the well known fact that a man named Cooke some time applied for a franchise in Lynden for electric lights and power and the further fact that Cooke ha= taken options on a power site near Maple Falls, as well as a site for a sub-station in Bellingham, have revived the belief that the British Columbia corporation is backing the Nooksack Valley traction line.

The Provincial governments must not be encouraged to seize upon "tiie promised Federal grants for ngr'cul- turul purpose's as an excuse to reduce thc Provincial appropriations in aid nf agriculture. Agriculture will .not benefit if tihe money placed in one pocket is taken out of tihe other. The situation throughout Canada is just th.s. The cost of living steadily Increases iarg-'ly because the farming community .cannot extend the volume i of Its :prnductionsat all i,n keep ngl wHh the growth of population. The ! heavy inilux of immigrants to the] Western plains has not lessened tne I shortage of food supplies.

Recognizing these conditions the Dominion government hns undertaken* to stimulate asrriculture l.v liberal money grants for n-r'oulturul education, good ro ids and the supply of farm labor. Northern Ontario hopes to benefit as much as any part of the Dominion through this expected Federal assistance. The oirW-r parts of I the province should likewjpe derive material advantages from Mr. l'.or- ' den's departure.

The railway coaches over there are built in compartments, and in a compartment with Tom was a lady traveling with her ruiiid. The mistress appeared to be a hlshhorn tfanip, and her maid treated her with unbounded reverence, The two conversed in a foreign language, though Tom, not being a linguist himself, couldn't tell whether it wns Italian or French, It might have been Latin for all be knew, Tom tried to get some Information j from the conductor, but failed, and tlic lady kindly came to his assistance In i broken English.

"Ah. Sighor Tomkins," she said in | charming broken English. "I am glad ; to see yon. 1 confess that having met I you as a stranger I thought it prudent to make inquiries about you. And I i am happy to announce that they have I resulted satisfactorily. If there were titles in your country you would be at 1 least a baron." "Thank you very much," said Tom I In bud Italian. "How quickly you are picking up our I language," replied the princess. "You will soon apeak It like a native." Tom drank tea with the princess, spending a delightful hour with Jier; j then she dismissed him. saying: "I will be happy to hnve you meet some of my friends. Let me see���this evening there ls a court ball; tomorrow j I dine with the Duchess of C'hevriui; Thursday I am free. Have you any engagement for that evening?" Tom said he had. but he would break ft for the inestimable privilege of meeting the princess' friends. Ills evening was free, but with true American instincts he didn't propose to cheapen himself. On the proposed evening Slgnor Tomklns presented himself at the princess' villa and was introduced to several princes, an English duchess, who was found useful as an Interpreter, and other magnates They were nil very civil to Teim. considering that he was a titleless American, and he was delighted at mingling for the flrst time in his life with a real aristocracy, Card tables were set. and the princess proposed bridge whist Tom was honored by being placed at tbe hostess' table and especially so by having her for a partner.
