We\nare not charry of giving credit where credit is due, but at\nthe same time we feel that it is nothing less than our duty\nto point out to the Progressive association and to the citizens that all is not quite so rosy as the report of that body's\nsub-committee would have us think.\nSpecific cases of neglect or delay are not hard to seek,\nin fact we know of one of the oldest and most respected\ncitizens in Westminster who some time back was separated\nfrom an important communication from the east by a matter of many days during which his letter was lying in the\nWestminster post office. But coming down to the present\ntime we would like to cite an instance brought to our notice only yesterday.\nA letter was posted by a representative business man\nof Westminster to a gentleman in Vancouver on April 23\nlast at 5:30 p.m. He personally dropped it in a post box\nnear the Westminster Trust building at that hour.\nAs this was an important missive, enquiry as to its\nwhereabouts and the reason of its non-arrival was received from Vancouver by the Westminster man on the\nfollowing day. Vancouver was informed of the posting of\nthe letter and the Vancouver office at once put out a\ntracer who failed to discover any trace of the letter.\nUltimately the missive arrived in Vancouver at 30\na.m. on April 25, bearing a New Westminster post mark\nof April 24,11 a.m. Remember it was posted April 23, at\n5:30 p.m.\nWe leave it to residents who have had similar experiences to judge whether this is a solitary case proving the\nrule, or not. Certainly the above shows that there is some\nmismanagement in connection with out postal service. If\nit is the fault of the collection service that must be remedied speedily. If the fault lies with the post office here\nthen something must be done to prevent the occurrence of\nthese delays which, in many cases, are disastrous in ef feci\nand, in all cases are of great inconvenience. The letter we\nhave taken as an instance should have reached Vancouver\nat 10 a.m. on April 21, or 21 hours earlier than it actually\ndid.\nWe note from a recent meeting of the Board of Trade\nthat there are good prospects that the New Westminster\noffice will ere long be raised to the first class, and we trust\nthat that body will continue to work unceasingly for this\ndesired end.\nOUR GOVERNOR GENERAL.\nToday the congratulations of the people of the Do-j\nminion of Canada to our present governor general, H.R.H.\nthe Duke of Connaught, will be mingled with expressions,\nof sympathy and regret that his gracious wife is still under\nmedical treatment\nThe Duke is sixty-three today, and, since his return\nto England from these shores, he has been very active in\ndirecting the attention of all classes over there to the vast\npotentialities that are awaiting development in Canada.\nWhen we have such publicity men as our present governor\ngeneral and his predecessor, Earl Grey, it speaks volumes\nfor what we in Canada have to offer. '\nWc sincerely hope that H.R.H. the Duchess of Connaught will speedily win back to health and strength and\nth it many years of usefulness and happiness may lie before the prince and princess who by their unflagging courtesy, their attention to minute details and their personal\ninterest in everything in Canada, have won for themselves\na place in the hearts of the people of this Dominion.\nTEACHING SCHOLARS GARDENING.\n:i ii IntereeUng to know that what\nia termed \"hcIk-hiI Burdening\" haa\nbeen Hiicceaafully demonstrated in\nthe I lulled Statea for over t acorn\nof yeara.

The Duke,\nwho la soon to relinquish the viceregal office at Ottawa, haa since early\nmanhood has been an enthusiastic\nadmirer of the land of the maple leaf,\nand of ita people, and thia feeling, together with hia personal churin of\nmanner, tact, honesty and sound\njudgment, have made him one of the\nmoat popular executives in the history of the Dominion.\nIn hla connection with Canadian\naffairs the duke has been aa diplomatic aa his brother, the late king Kdward, and, |n the midst of political\nspheavals, has kept the friendship of\nIhe leadera and the rank and file of\nboth parties.\nThousands of the future citizens of\nthe Dominion will have treasured reminders of the duke's administration\nn tlieir commissions as Boy Scouts,\nevery one cf which has becn personally signed by the uncle of King\nGeorge. This has entailed a tremendous amount of labor, but the, duke\nls no stranger to Industry, and en-\n'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd: retains great admiration for the\nScouts movement.\nThe fact that the duke attached his\nsignature to Canadian commissions\nwith his own hand, while General Baden-Powell uses a rubber stamp on\nthe papers of English Scouta, has\naroused a spirit of envy among the\nKngiish lads, who have petitioned\nthat the duke be made their chief.\nHarry l.eon Wilson, author of \"The\nSpenders,\" \"The Seeker,\" and other\npopular novels, was born at.
