A. BATES. Editor and Proprietor Literary Society ' Enjoys Meeting 4mmc. yjiwri FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1.922 Stumps and speculation are two of the deterrent influences that, have prevented the settlement ��������� of the Fraser Valley, so as to keep pace with tho growth of the coast cities. Both must be eliminated and good roads built, so that, the Fraser Valley can keep pace with tlie cities' growth and prevent the importation of foods' from foreign countries. Of the'two ' deterrent influences the stumps are probably the worst the stumps cannot, long be expected to remain on a. Fraser Valley ranch filled with trees and stumps. The removing of stumps is as important to the Fraser Valley as is irrigation to the Okanagn. It certainly must be very discouraging to the man who1 ur dertakes to clear land by individual effort, s He can grow old at; the job and yet not have sufficient to protect his old age let alone supply the demand of the increasing population of the province. Taxes are high in the Fraser Valley, but not high enough to build our roads as they should be to make country life tlie pleasure desired, yet the taxes and upkeep of the roads comes high on the man with the stumps���������the man upon whom tho Valley is depending to till the soil. Growing for tlie market is an expensive proposition even after the initial cost of clearing the land , has been met. That the burden is much heavier thou the farmer on new land can afford is instanced by the fact that.but little new land is being clear ed these days, in the Valley. It is estimated that but one acre in fifteen of the fertile land, in the Valley is producing. 'Yet to undei- take to clear some of our land is one of the biggest jobs a man can assume. Some big jobs are given government assistance, but not the clearing of land; and it is understood that our Land Settlement Board does not favor loaning money to the man now on the land but is in favor ������f helping the new settler. Why nor help the man now on the land, who who has had a little experience? Would we not be further ahead? Cheap money, cheap powder and stump eliminating machines', with good roads, would make the Fraser Valley, the agricultural paradise it was intended to be by nature. The government that will map out a course of this kind will be as Gumn says',- 100 per cent, for the people, thus a winner. Growers, conceived-the idea to put up all varieties of berries in small containers for' the bakery trade. "An initial pack was put up and placed in cold storage, ahd a short time ago the frozen fruit was introduced to the- local bakery trade through ' Grossman Bros. The success of the venture was instantaneous, as the bakers declared ' that the fruit was just the same as fresh and made the 'most delicious filling for, pies and other pastry. The local manager of the Northern Pacific dining car service was enthusiastic over the first order delivered, and will suggest that the fruit be used over the entire system. "All the fruits are solid pack and are put up two in one. Two pounds of berries to one of sugar. Loganberries, blackberries ,and raspberries are packed in five-gallon tins and the strawberries in ten-gallon kegs'. The tins weigh about 4 5 lbs. and the kegs 90 pounds net. Blackberries are quoted at J 0 cents, loganberries 12 cents, raspberries' 10 cents and strawberries bakery trade." 15 cents, to the MI 12 .102*2 SEASON The season of 1922 has been very disappointing to almost all those ��������� engaged in agricultural pursuits. Many other lines of industry have had their own troubles, especially those directly connected with the agricultural in- 'riustry. The signs of'the times point to a considerable betterment for next year. There will be much more ready money circulating, especially amongst prairie farmers. We have noted several things that can be done to make the lots of the farmer easier, especially the fruit farmer. Several matters connected with transportation need adjusting. Many things' that can be absorbed by his market and easy to grow in'B; C. will be discussed during the winter campaign. We welcome the new Greenhouse Mens Organiaztion now formed in Victoria, and we will endeavor to . form another such organization with headquarters in Vancouver. Carlot shipments to prairie points of greenhouse vegetables will be rolling in 1923 season. We expect to lay plans for distribution,, etc., before-greenhouse men m the near.future. Our ideal is to have all B.C.. producers united in one selling organization. If we succeed in this it will The farmer party���������the Progres-*, be a record organization. Space forgives���������are now without a leader, I-Djcis a review of this season's fruit Crerar having resigned both the, and vegetables���������we will deal in'de- leadership and also .the seat in Mar-'tail with this subject in our annual Prospects for the balance of queite. which he represented. This is the beginning of the end of what promised, to be the stormy petrel in Canadian politics. Wonder what pressure was' brought to bear on Crerar, as the fact that .the Grain Growers were not in favor of his retaining the position, seems but a poor excuse. Last year when Crerrir headed the party at the election the G. G. did not raise any objection that the public was aware of. Had h >, been' successful in- having enough following in the House of Commons to form a government, would the same G.G. have still had their objections? We think not. Politics make strange bedfellows and 'one would not be surprised to find'that this is the first step in the disorganization of the party and t\:������ Liberals going to the country after the next session of the House. With the Progressive leader out. of the way it is just, possible that a certain element in politics would t'eel that another election would return the Liberal .marty. Class government in Ontario according to the present premier is not a success, and without a strong leader at Ottawa the Progressives will probably go back to their first love in politics. The trend of affairs in politics would indicate that public opinion is of the firm belief that two parties in Canadian politics is distinct enough a division. report this season are bright.'; ' Apples are firming in price, and winters in storage should sell at ' a satisfactory price. Figures in our hands from a reliable source indicate that the amount of apples in storage for winter supply is not more than can be consumed at prairie points. We consider that a proportion of the'se should be stored in distributing points in the prairies, so that in mild weather they can be sent to near-by points that are at present understocked. We find that the three prairie provinces have an abundant supply of potatoes, with no prospect of an eastern or United States market. B. C. potato shippers in the dry belt will find a market here for a limited amount of select stock, apart from that and perhaps some certified seed potatoes, little need to be expected from the prairie. We have had several welcome letters pointing out errors that have inadvertently been made. In every case corrections, have appeared when needed. The object of the Bulletin is to guide the'fruit growers in B. C. in all that pertains to marketing their fruit. We extend thanks to all who have co-operaed with us to this end. A,full house greeted those taking pari in the meeting of the Literary and Debating Society on Nov. 8. The evening was devoted mainly to Sir /Walter Scott and' his works. Mr. Dunbar gave an outline of the author's life. . Dunach school pupils under Miss Carr gave a scene from "Ivanhoe;",. Mt. Lehman-pupils under Miss Ferguson and Miss Stafford con tributed selections from "The Lady of the Lake," and sang Scott's "Lullaby to an Infant'Chief." Mrs. Roy Lehman and Miss' Kitty Taylor delighted all with vocal and instrumental numbers respectiely.' Mr. Farber, spoke on the influences of the writer. An informal' dance closed a pleasant, evening. A .debate on the- resolution tha.; machinery has done more harm than good is being prepared for the meeting on Nov. 22. Miss' Agnes 'Macphail of Dcnnison was the guest of , Mrs. Frank Baldwin, New Westminster, for a few days. The Hallowe'en season has been an extended one thte.year. Dennison High School was the first to celebrate, when' the girls entertained their fellow students and friends on the afternoon of October 27. Music, readings and games, followed by, refreshments, gave pleasure to all. Dunach school, with a somewhat Hint- iliar programme, gave their concert. and dance on Saturday night in the municipal hall. The afternoon of October 31 was the time chosen by the Mt. Lehman school to present their choruses and dialogues to a pleased audience. Later, games were played and the afternoon closed with Hallowe'en delicacies. Jubilee school held a concert and dance. on Novemer 3 which was most enjoyable to all present. On Hallowe'en, witches, ghosts and the practical joker held sway. -In most cases the revellers gave pleasure, but in a few instances they exceeded bounds.. The Y. P. S. heid their social meeting on Friday, Oct. 27, in the Memorial hall, which had been decorated with Hallowe'en colors and symbols. After a brief business session the meeting was put into the care of the ��������� social committee who had arranged a delightful programme. Community singing, games and contests filled up the time. The corii- mittee, consisting of Mrs'. Gams- by, the Misses , Macphail, Taylor, Brown and McLean,*, and .Masters Waiters and Oswald, rendered "jazz" selections. Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Green, assisted,by willing friends, served refreshments. ��������� It was announced that the meeting on November 11 would be given by the* missionary committee. A splendid supply of fruit a.nd vegetables-was-generously given by tho members and friends of the local True Blue lodge for use in the True Blue Home, New Westminster. Further donations have been promised- Mr. S. Harvey looked after the shipping from \Mt.'

WEEK TN CALGARY BERRY BY-PRODUCTS We submit the following iter* from the Seattle Produce News, for the serious consideration of the B. 0. Berry Growers. We have been working on the possibilities'of a market for frozen bei- ries, either in the crates frozen as they come from the field, or in gallon tins. Several experiments have tried in Washington and Ontario, but nothing of a definite kind has been started until Mr. F. Grossman, of the North Pacific Berry Growers, brought forth his ideas. A new market is being developed for the surplus fresh berries of Western Washington, which is fraught with great possibilities for the ad-, vancement and future prosperity or the berry growing industry in this district. "For the past two years the surplus strawberries have been put up and frozen in 400 lb. barrels, but it was not until this' season that Frank Pvoasrnan, sales manager for the North Pacific Co-operative Berry The weather this week has been ideal. The wholesale fruit men held their usual weekly meeting on Wednesdar in the Board of Trade rooms'. It was shown the apple market had been brisk during the week when 3,- 200 to 3,400 boxes of apples had been sold. It was also shown that, country stocks were getting low, and that a good country demand was expected soon. Jobbers are all cleaned up on onions, and are looking for new supples. .,-���������������������������' The first car of California vegetables arrived in Calgary today containing cauliflower, head lettuce and rhubarb.

MATSQUI HAS FENCE PROBLEM MOUNT LEHMAN, Nov. 9.���������With bad weather approaching, when roadwork is difficult, and a depleted exchequer prohibiting expenditure, the November meeting of the Matsqui Council was of little importance to the ratepayer. Fatherly advice and small charitable donations, with the passing of the usual accounts marked the business session, allowing the councillors an early adjournment. Coun. Ware raised the question of gates and fences' across public .road3, instancing the Valley road at Clay- burn, which was gated at the railway crossings. It was undesirable for property owners to have gates across travelled roads', although these seem necessary until the roads are fenced, or cattle will stray. The solution will be found in road fences and cattle guards. Owners disputing over property line fences are to have their problem settled by the properly appointed "fence-viewers," whose duty it is to define these lines, and whose decision is final. The danger of unlighted horse- vehicles meeting autos after dark was brought up by the recent Mt. Lehman accident which just avoided serious results. Under present laws,' wagons and buggies are not compelled to cany lights', but a bylaw could be passed to enforce the provision if the people thought it ; necessary. Mr. Pihl, rural mail carrier, reported the danger to travellers caused by some Chinamen blasting near the road and placing no warning sign or person to safeguard the public. The "mail" had been showered by rocks and dirt when passing. The employer of tho Chinaman will be notified of the danger. The residents of Matsqui ."allowed the true spirit of generosity when notified of the..conditions of a family near the dyke. The council were told of gifts of hay and potatoes, cash and apples, and joined the donors with a $15 grant. STUART MOTORS Chevrolet and Nash Agents Mission City, B. G. M sssacBmaM Other instances of necessity were quoted, where the council were ready to help, but ��������� technical difficulties were in the way. The government does not pension persons who hold land of high assessment, although it may be entirely, remunerative. The owners do not want to lose all claim to it. The council cannot reduce its' assessed value to the detriment of adjoining property. The advice of the municipal solicitor is deemed essential. MT.

Premier Answers Mr. Bowser's Charges VICTORIA," Nov. 7.���������"I have paid four bits many a time to see a vaudeville show and have not seen lalf as good a1'performance as we aad here when the leader of the opposition made his speech," remarked 'remier Oliver recently in completing his' address on the address in reply to the speech from the throne. The Legislature was not. the place for public entertainment,, continued the'Premier, and, considering the time consumed by Mr. Bowser, his speech had cost the people in ' the neighborhood of $4 000. They might well ask if it is worth it, he said. The Premier declared that the opposition leader'committed an act of treachery of a 'serious nature when he had sent out telegrams Wednesday evening to the effect that the member for Cranbrook had been deprived of his right to speak, the Premier taking advantage of a technical point. .is; In Mr. Bowsers absence, Mr. R. H. Pooley and Mr. J., VV. Jones suggested that "treachery" was , hardly a parliamentary word, whereupon Premier Oliver tendered an apology, but said lie would leave it to the House (o understand what was 'meant... Dealing with, the question of finance, the government leader referred to a question 'asked Mr. Bowser, when he was' premier, by Mr. Brewster, then leader of the opposition. The answer was that the estimated deficit on March 31, 1917, would be ������3,375.359. When asked how this would be met, [continued the Premier, Mr. Bowser had replied that the government was. considering the matter. He said such an answer should discredit Mr. Bowser's criticism of the present government's financial policy, and he asked opposition members if they thought their leader was playing fair with them. Premier Oliver repeated his statement made at the Nelson convention that the operation of the Civil Service Act had resulted in the transfer of patronage from ministers of the crown to the Civil Service Couimlsr sion. The result had not been satisfactory to the people; of the country, nor to the government and there would have to be a change. . He' twitted opposition members over their former prediction that loans placed in New York would ultimately cost the people 15 per cent before .redemption. l With Canadian money at a "premium the govern mient's' policy had been proven a wise one. ..__._ ���������"- "���������-, ..'���������'. '" The'Premier'did riot" "mindr listening to Mr: Bowser's "misstatements" but he did not wish the people who did not know the /' opposition leader to place credence in them. '. Turning to' P. G. E. Railway affairs, the government leader read extracts from his'diary to show that in January, 1920, representaties' of the Vancouver and Victoria Boards of Trade had urged the government, to complete the.line not only to Prince George but, to a junction with the E. D. & B. C. The delegation included such men as President W. H. Mal- kin of the Vancouver Board of Trade, and J. L. Beck.worth of Victoria. He told how, he' had heard Mr. Bowser state from the platform at Pouce Coupe that if his government had not been defeated the line would have been completed by this time. He read from the' Sullivan report -to show that at that time the efficiency of labor was ata low ebb while materials were high. He then-took up the statement of Mr. Bowser that the Premier was responsible for the wastage of $20,- 000,000-in the construction of the P. G. E. "But I find the total amount ' of money paid out on all accounts since we took it over and up to September 30 last was $18,902,186," the Premier went on, "and that included not only the work on the Northern Construction Co., but payment of interest." ��������� .-��������� . These other payments included in the $18,9.02,186, the Premier detailed as $3,326,929 interest on debenture stock: $2,862,378 other interest charges; totalling upward of $6,000,- 000 for interest alone; $1,394,650 for loss in operation and $1,271,503' .for the purchase of rails. "We have in these nearly $9,000,- 000 accounted for," he went on. "This leaves not quite $9,000,000 expended in construction since the government took it over and not the $20,000,000 which the leader of the opposition says." A little breeze developed when the Premier took up some of Hon. H. H. Stevens' statement, repeated by W. K. Esling, Conservative member for Rpssland. He referred to one of these to the effect that a reputable firm had offered to complete the P. G. E. for $6,000,000. "I characterize that statement as a figment of the imagination, without a shadow of foundation for it, and I challenge the member for Rossland and to produce anything in substantiation in the construction of the P.'-O. B. , Still another statement which ho referred to was that in which it was alleged that the liabilities of the P. (j, E. when taken over by the government were less than $20,000,000. The Premier read from the reports that the liabilities on February 22, 1918, when the line was taken over, amounted to $24,240,011.47, and there were further liabilities such as $210,000 for land contracts for rights-of-way and' $1,271,000 for rails, all contracted for by the old company. Next was the criticism that the accounts of the Northern Construction company had not been studied. Tlie Premier said tliat as far as this Legislature was convinced it was interested in the accounts of the company no further than they related to its dealings with the P. G. E. Next the Premier took up Mr. Bowser's' criticism that the government was not encouraging the fruit industry of the province because it did not send B. C. fruit to London, wither a former governmtnt sent it and captured first prize. He pointed out that when the present government took, office it .found speculative companies had got hold of fruit lands of the province, sold these lands at big prices, separated the ownership of the land from the companies supplying them with water, and which companies had put" in cheap irrigation works. It , was found that these irrigation works fell- down just when the trees were coming to the bearing stage, and the companies could not deliver the water, with the result that loss faced the fruit men. "As the Premier of this province T advise the Liquor Board that it was not the wish of this government to put stores in any place-in opposition to the desires of the people," he added. "I ask if Mr. Bowser were returned to office if he would defy the vote of the vast majority of tlie people, defy the law put on the books by the elected repesentalives of the people, and go against his own oath of office to carry out that law? "It is all very well for a man with a gift of satire and language to put up a vaudeville entertainment here, but this, House is for the transaction of public business: ..- "I want to tell my- friends, that.a.- though I voted for prohibition there is a -bottle of whisky in my house at the present time and that when I went on that rfamous' trip over the P. G. E. not a drop of liquor passed my lips." Referring to the A. F. Proctor case again, the/Premier asserted that "when they say that the chief engineer was intoxicated they 'say what is.not true." He referred to Mr; Proctor as "a gifted man who had mde a slip and has' paid ' an awful penalty." . It is pitiable to see the leader of the opposition for the sake of a laugh jump on a'; man when he is down," the Premier went on. Mr. Jones���������Oh, Mr. Proctor is young yet. ' Premier Oliver (continuing) ��������� I might go further and say that it is almost contemptible. Touching upon Mr. Bowser's reference to making brandy out of peaches in the okanagan Valley, Premier Oliver said he thought the twist given the matter by the opposition leader was most contemptible. Still, he would frankly say that so long as the government was selling brandy- he would approve the sale of brandy made in this province. His son's name being brought into the matter annoyed "the government leader. True his son had discussed the use of surplus fruit but the truth was that his son suggested making acetic acid and combining it with lead brought from the Trail smelter to manufacture arsenate of lead for fruit tree spray. - He explained that last summer $23,000 worth of this had been bought by the '' Okanagan buyers. At this juncture the Premier was visibly moved and his voice quavered; as. he asked: "What was the quality of mind and brain of,a man who will attempt to hold up another to ridicule when he is doing his best to serve the people?". Hon. Mr. Oliver next reviewed the hearing of the charges against Dr. A. R. Baker and referred to Mr. Pooley's remarks about him. However, he explained, Magistrate Shaw was an appointee of Mr. Bowser's government, and It ill behoved the Esquimau, member-to refer to him as a "lap- dog." Premier Oliver criticized Mr. Pooley for not appearing in court in Vancouver to give evidence before the royal commission until a "blue paper", forced'him-there. The member for Esquimau, was charging that the cost of the enquiry, which tho Premier said was $6,112.44' might have been saved if the Legislature itself had disposed of the matter. However, the necessary witnesses were not available while the House was sitting, it was explained, and it was much .better to have a. commission than to keep the House in session'for an indefinite time. The government leader said that Mr. Pooley had not shown very good citizenship by refusing to appear before the. commission until forced. The latter interjected that he had made his intention not to do so clear before the Legislature prorogued and he added that "We at least saved the beaver." - "Hear, hear!" came from the mem be,r for Fort George. "I have heard of people who came into the world to save it, but it neod? a lot of saving yet,'' returned tho 'Mt Lehman News Mrs. Middleton of Mission City was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. TV h.

The guests were the Misses Fraser, ^McDonald, Macaulay and Mackay, and Messrs1. Fraser, Ferguson and D. A. McAskill. The West Matsqui Co-operative need more room for feed storage so they have plans made for the erection of another building'adjacent to their present store. Mr. S. Nicholson is in charge of the work. Large congregations' attended the Thanksgiving services - held in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday, Nov. 5. The church was beautifully decorated ' with flowers, fruit, vegb tables and grain by Mrs. Forrester, Mrs. McDonald and the Misses Gillis, Lewis,' Bates and McDonald, with assistance from Mr. D. Nicholson and D. Oswald. During the morning offertory the Girls' choir sang "Who Givest All." The gifts of fruit, etc., were sent to the Presrbyterian Girls'- Homo, Vancouver, where they were greatly appreciated. At the regular meeting of the Mt.

C.J. Nov. 11.���������An amendment offered by Mr. Catherwood, Conservative, Dewdney, dur- ing'his address in the debate on the Speech from the-8hrone, resulted in the legislature sitting until.two o-' clock Thursday morning. The amendment expressed regret over "the inefficiency of the Land Settlement Board." After a heated debate the government was sustained on division. The government majority was twelve.- Mr. J. A. Catherwood, Conservative, Dewdney, spoke briefly congratulating the ministers concerned on the consolidation of tho statutes and tshe Sumas reclamation scheme, but regretted no mention had been made of'the necessary protection work on Nicomen Island. Liquor act amendments, he said, did not come any too soon, and he criticized the goernment for not holding an election to fill the vacant seat in Vancouver. Mr. Catherwood took up the. question of amendments to the game act, asking that farmers' be given permission to-shoot pheasants destroying crops and to trap muskratd damaging drains.or crops. The dyking act was also touched upon, Mr. Catherwood claiming that the acts should be consolidated and all dyking schemes brought under the new act. The mothers' pension act and workmen's compensation a^t came in for commendation, but Mr. Catherwood thought that there should be more sympathetic understanding in the administration of these acts. Miss Florence Parton has returned to Cedro Wooley, Wash. Rev. Mr. Condgen of the Federated Church of the City of Sumas, will conduct tlie services in the Presbyterian Church on Sunday evening. Rev. W. .Robertson will preach in Mr. Congdon's Church in Sumas. Premier. He then dismissed Mr. Bowser's speech by saying.that he could not find one constructive suggestion in it. Nothing had been offered by the leader of the opposition that would help solve the University problem or show a way out with regard to the P. G. E. * "Nothing but the misstatement that we wasted $20,000,000!" he exclaimed, and then asked what Mr. Bowser had to say about the schools ���������nothing but that retrogression had set in. Still, he continued Mr. Bowser's government ' had; established the present school system. In concluding Premier Oliver said: "I stand on the judgment of both sides of the House and the judgment of the people. The government is entitled to the best advice of every members, and those members who do not* strive to improve conditions through their assistance are not true representatives of the people."

Mission entertained Chilliwack In football and basketball yesterday, with Mission winning in the former by 2 to 1, while -< the basket ball games have not been played at,the time of going to press. The football game was slow in got- ting stated, the referee being unabl.j to appear, which necessitated the end of. the game being played in very poor light. Chilliwack was first to score when they rushed the goal in earnest; Plumridge made a nice save but on the rebound the ball was p!������.'.o ed well out of his reach. , Mission evened up soon "after when Dave Gal- liford rushed tho goalie after a long shot, with the result that the latt3i> missed it altogether. Play was resumed at helf time without any interval as darkueca was settling already. Chilliwack took the offensive at first, but Mission soon found themselves' and Hamilton' put, the home'team one up when he beat the backs in a sprint and placed the ball in the corner'of the goal. This, concluded the scoring and it was just a matter of getting the game over as it was getting too dark for good foqball. Line up���������Plumridge, J. GalHford, Appleby, Beaton, C.
