The delegates were reminded cl\" tlie words of the Hon. Joseph Martin on his first visit to England when he .decided to leave Canadian politics to seek larger spheres for his ability as ;a statesman and .politician. . While at Stratford-on-Avon he is quoted as saying: \"Nice quiet old town. Reminds me of Chilliwack.\" The date\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdof the \"visit of the bureau had gotten mixed up with -busines and the delegates will never be able to, recount the.details of the magnamirious reception received, however when once, the mayor and the president o,f the board of trade were acquainted'with who were the guests of the town, everything '\"was done to make tlie short stay pleasant. - The delegates present were: President, 15. H. Heaps, Vancouver; C. 1-T. Stuart-Wade, Npw .Westminster; Cr. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdGay, Nej^WcsfcittTjiiitor; Cr. Bell,-Matsqui; Cr! Cade, Mission; J. A. Bates, Mission City Board of Trade; R. W. 'Hulbert, Coquitlam Board-of Trade and Secretary Wilkie. The business of the meeting was practically the resolutions ; passed at the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd executive meeting held at .New Westminster the previous week, and after the details of the opening'of the meeting had been carried out. ' Mr.' Hulbert reported that the new \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdcity of Port Coquitlam would join the bureau. The executive claimed \"that the name of Fraser Valley Municipal Publicity was too cumbersome, and not properly descriptive of the function of the- organization, which was not so much publicity work, the boosting of the valley, as the development of the varied resources of it.\" Mr. Bates of the Mission City Board of Trade pointed out that while the name might appear \"cumbersome,\" yet the organization would lose its identity were it to change its name. It was composed of the municipalities of the Fraser Valley, and -their consent to join was gotten with the understanding that the word Municipal\" be part of the name. He asked for the original letter sent out previous to organization, but it was not available. Tt was then pointed out that tlie bureau was first started to attract settlers to the Fraser Valley by eiving them information that would induce them to visit the valley before deciding to settle elsewhere. Such information could be known by no other name than publicity. He believed that while the name might not meet with the approval of all yet it was an appropriate name for the organization. ( Mr. Wade also took strong objection to the leaving out of the word \"municipal,\" supporting the claims made that the organization would make a mistake if it cast aside the word which was so representative of the component parts of the organization. He. however, suggested the name of Fraser Valley Municipal League, as a compromise. Mr. Hulbert of Coquitlam believed that the word \"development' was .a more appropriate name than \"Municipal Publicity,\" but was willing to add that word making it Fraser Valley Municipal Development League. The four names will be submitted to the'-different \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd organizations and they will be asked to indicate their choice. Cr. Gay, of Richmond, and Cr. Bell, of Matsqui, did not wish to see tho word \"Municipal\" dropped out. Then came the question of the president \"working for the construction of the Port Coquitlam-Port Moody ship canal.\" (\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdGoiWtinued on pags Three) ABBOTSFORD'S PAYROLL INCREASED. ' TO BE , The Imperial Powder Company, with a large manufacturing plant at Che- lialis, Wash., have deciuedrto open a branch manuiaeturing plant at Ab- botstord, under the name of- the. Dominion powder Company, Limited, and with that end in view have purchased a- lU-acre site from Mr. D. McCrim- mon. The proposed site is just outside of Abnotsiorcl, north of the C.\" P. R.'s north switch. \"ihe company, are well known throughout the country as manufacturers of high class explosives. Their new brand or' powder, or as it is known as the \"The Imperial\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe New Explosive\" is said to be far superior to dynamite. Just as soon as the survey has been completed- work will be started in erecting the new buildings: tor the company and all possible haste made in their completion. The company also intend erecting a box factory to be run in conjunction with the powder plant, which will employ at the start twenty men, while the main .works will give \"employment, to 100 men. The officers in charge of the Domino- Ion Powder Company are H. W. Mac- phail, president; M. J. Wasson, vice- president; C. S. Gilchrist,, secretary.-:' treasurer, while \"Mr. F.\" T! Israel will act as general manager. The head office of the company will be located in \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdVancouver. This new industry should prove of considerable importance to Abbotsford and the surrounding country. MATSQUI COUNCIL FOOTBALL BOYS PLAY FOR CHAPMAN CUP. A very exciting football,match took place at Langley, when the Abbotsford boys met .that team in a contest for the Chapman Cup. The game was hard fought all the way through, the score at the finish being two goals apiece; Tlie following were the Abbotsford team: Goal, Liddell; backs, Gough, Wilkes,; halfbacks, Attwood, Jackson, Gillett; forwards, McGowan, Brown, Heath, Fermor, Morgan. The return match will be played at Abbotsford on Saturday with probably the same line up, and it should be a good one, as it is the final for the cup. CONTRACTORS RUSHING WORK.

It was intimated when notice was first\nsent out by the promoters of the bureau that thousands of settlers\nwere arriving in Vancouver to make '.British Columbia their home,\nand but a very small percentage of these settlers ever heard a.word\nabout thW climate,, soil and advantages to-be had in the Fraser Valley. ' It was to he an association of information for incoming settlers\n' aiid work for the mutual advantage of those already residents of the\nvalley\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbat not to go into thc business of promoting any. large de-\nvelpmcnt. schemes. This is thc stand taken by those who opposed\nthe action of the executive-'in recommending that the president\n\"work for\" the said canal.\nTO THE EXECUTIVE OF FRASER\nBUREAU.\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd f i\nMr. Chairman and Gentlemen:\n1 have availed myself of your meeting here'today to offer some evidence\nbearing on tho conditions Avhich prevail in the Fraser Valley Tn \"relation\nto Agriculture. I will, by your kind\npermission, divide my evidence under\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdtlie following heads:\n(1) ' Markets\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nThis is a burning question and has\nbeen a source of grievance amongst\nthe Farmers throughout thc Fraser\nValley for a number of years. It is\n. contended\/ and I think rightly so, that\nit is the exception and not the rule to\nobtain' in Vancouver and New Wcst-\n' minster market facilities, and a fair\n' price for produce. It is recognized\nthat the .more genial climate of. our\nneighbors to the south of the line will\nalways give them the advantage of the\nearly- market- in Vancouver in the .production of tender vegetables, but this\ncan be met by widely diffusing among\n.the Farmers the knowledge of raising\n.-early garden produce by means of\ngreenhouses, as has been done in the\nhome counties of England to meet the\ncompetition of the early produce from\nFrance, ' Belgium, Holland and Italy.\n1 Before leaving this question of Markets 1 would suggest'that useful in-\n' formation could he collected, not only\nfrom sonieof the large cities of the\nDominion, but nl&o from the Coast\ncities to the south of the line, notably\n\"Seattle; always have one object in\nview, viz.r' conserving the Marl-els\nwherever established in the future for\n'.tlie benefit of the producer and the\nconsumer as far as practicable. The\nestablishment' of Market fac.iliT.ies\n..' siipuld neither be left to private or\nmunicipal enterprise, but should be\ndealt with by the Government, as the\nnourishing of Agriculture in the Province is essentially a National duty,\nand forms the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffdbar-is of-the permanent\nprosperity of o,ur country. .. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\n(2) Dairying\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nThe Fraser Valley and the surrounding districts is an ideal Dairying coun\ntry. -Under this heading I refer not\nGnly to the production of Milk and\nButter, but also to stock, such as\nHogs, Veal, Beef and Poultry, Avhich\nalways command a fair price when\nshipped in a clean and sweet condition. In marketing this produce I find\nno fault Avith the merchants of Vancouver and New Westminster, as good\nprices are given by them, provided\nthe shipments are good. For successful and remunerative farming in the\nFraser Valley I would, therefore,\nstrongly urge the necessity of inducing\nthe fanners to concentrate their energies on thc raising of Stock; especially Milk Stock. The Government\ncould greatly aid tlie Farmer in this\ndirection by the. establishment of centres where pedigree bulls especially,'\nwould be available for free service to\nthe cattle of any Farmer in the Valley.\nThe same applies in a minor degree\nto the raising of Horses, Hogs and\nPoultry, so as to obtain the\" best\ngrades. I am particularly dwelling on\nthe subject of Stock Raising and the\nshipping of cream, milk, butter and\neggs, as I am convinced that at the\npresent time this is the only really\nlucrative industry for the Farmer of\nthe Valley to pursue, and an unlimited\nmarket at hand to absorb. Take our\nsuccessful Farmers who ship cream or\nmilk, beef, veal or hogs, as the case\nmay be, he sees for it immediate returns, whereas with the Farmer who\nraises crops it is one continuous gamble. He has to take chances with the\nrise and fall of the markets, which as*,\noften as not go against him. It must\nbe borne in mind that this is only a\nOne Crop Country. Could anything be\nmore disastrous to the Farmer than\n, what occurred last year-in this Val-\nf ley, when he expended time, energy\nand money in; raising acres of potatoes?\nTo sum up the situation for the\nFarmer \"in the Fraser Valley who desires (under the present unstable\n, market conditions) to make a satis-\nj factory income I Avould say Dairying\nand Stock Raising come first and]\nli'uoiikl be I'ot.ten:.] ly ll.o Government'\nin 'c-.vt.ry posi.ibio way, and before any\n** i\nother consideration, by educating the\nj'\\iru:cr in this branch of Agriculture,\nto raise tho most-suitable Milk Stock,\ngrow the right, kind of Milk producing\nproducts\", and help him' with the best\nj|\" pedigree stock.-By such Government\naid an immense impetus will be given\nto the prosperity of not only tho old\noalablished Farmer, but. also the newly arriving Settlers. The circulation at\nmisleading pen pictures and liighilown\nreports of fortunes to bo made out of\ndie precarious raising of- fruit and\ncrops only loads to bitter disappointment'and brings tho Valley, into bad\nrepute.'\n1 would suggest that, in addition to\nthe frequent arrival ol' tho Fruit Inspector we have thc advantage of\nDairy Inspectors to ensure healthy'\ncows, clean and suitable barns, sanitary surroundings, and thus ensuro the\npurity -of the milk supply shipped to\nVancouver and other populous centres.\n(3) Land Drainage\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nThis is a question which should receive the'immediate attention of the\nGovernment, It the Municipalities\nhave not sulliciont powers under the\nAlunkupal Acts to dyke and drain\nlands subject to Hooding, or which' are\nat present Avater-loggcd for thc best\npart of the year, legislation should bo\nenacted to correct this deplorable\nstate of thousands of acres of land\nnow lying idle and useless, and which\ncould be rendered highly productive.\nThe most casual observer travelling by\ncar or rail through thc Valley must be\nstruck by neglect of the arterial\ndrainage throughout the Valley. To\nensure satisfactory arterial -land and\nsurface dtainage' in the Valley I would\nsuggest the formation...\ufffd\ufffd!' a Drainage\nBoard, properly incorporated, \"with\nample poAvers to put the whole of this\ndrainage question on a ^satisfactory\nfooting, under the guidance of a salaried engineer, skilled in .this branch\nof engineering. I am' afraid if the\nwork is left'to'the,-various municipalities there would be'a lack of'unity of\naction, and. moreover, these^ authorities\nhave .already .sufficient duties to administer. - . \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd . . -\nIn conclusion, I Avould again urge\nupon the Commissioners the necessity\nof Government 'aid, and the tuition by\nproperly qualified instructors for the\nbenefit of the farmers. Agriculture in\nrelation to producing dairy products) in\nthis Valley at' any rate, requires careful fostering by. the Government, and\nmust not be allowed to exist underits\npresent haphazard < conditions and\nmethods, otherwise the time is yet remote Avhen the prices of provisions ih\nVancouver and the district will be\nbrought within a reasonable limit, j\nEvery effort should be made to make\nuse of every acre of the highly productive cleared lands in this Valley\nand this will- eventually solve the\nproblem of bringing under cultivation\nthe upland bush lands.\nI remain, ,\nYour obedient servant,\nCHAS.

Mr. Mullen addressed the court and did not think tlie evidence sufficient to send the prisoner up on a murder charge.

Magistrate Verchere then rtated that he would have to commi-V-thj prisoner for trial at the New Westminster assizes on the charge of murder. The prisoner was taken back to Westminster on the 4:o0 train ' (Continued from- page 1) The president in his remarks on this subject having refered to the action of Mr. Wade with regard to the Bur- rard Inlet and Fitt River canal question at the last meeting spoke strong ly upon the point as'being; one which whs well within the organization to tal.e up at the present time. Accepted Cfca'lcngg ,. Mr Wade accepted tlie challenge of these re-marks aiui Immediately moved a resolution that the suggestion made at the last meeting of the executive he not endorsed. This was seconded by Mr. Bates, of Mission. Reeve Cade, of Mission, ,in a'uiy boated speech consideied that the previous speakers wero opposing the ,best Interests of Vancouver and the valley. Mr,, Hulbert, of Coquitlam, agreed with Mr. Wade to some extent, but would hot prors thc lesclution of the executive until time had admitted them hearing evidence in favor of the project. Considerable argument followed In support and against Mr. Wade's motion and the members appeared'to be divided into two separate factions. Some contended that the time was not ripe i'or dealing with-the\"subject. Mr., Wade personally considered that the matter was not one to be dealt with by the bureau, which.was intended by its originators, -he stated, to, assist in settling the land not being utili?ed in the various communities; in extending the facilities for inter-communication and in bringing the production to the market as well as counteracting as far a-3 possible the large alien importations which were doing.so'much to make farming un- remunerative. Charge of Jealousy Mr. Wade' on being twitted on several occasions with thc charge of jealousy between Vancouver and New Westminster, stated mort emphatical-' ly that the Board of Trade of New Westminster and the city had always . supported tlie claims and spent more money on the Fraser valley as a\" whole than any other city, in the province, and that the suggestion of jealousy between the two cities had no existence in New Westminster\/ \\ Mr. Gay, of Richmond, supported Mr. Wade's arguments, but the piesident strongly opposed the Westminster man's motion as he considered it as much as throwing the project down entirely. Mr. Heaps said that,he could talk for half an hour on reasons in favor of tho 'canal project and as a > Westminster manufacturer himself he gave instances, of the advantage It would be to tlie lumbering industry, brick makers, his own industry and other points affecting the tourist trade. He suggested that Mr. Wade would not press his motion. There Was No Reply . Replying, Mr. Wade asked President -Heaps if he was to understand that Mr. Heaps' proposal was to take material, from his ' own industry up the Fraser river against the stream, then up the Pitt river against the stream, through possibly four qr six locks on | the canal and then down Burrard Inlet | to Vancouver; to which there was no , reply. The resolution, being pressed an amendment moved by Mr. Hulbert was placed before the meeting tot the same, effect \"as Mr. Wade's motion with the addition that the. subject was reserved to take under consideration at any future period. The amendment was put and the vote being equal the chairman gave the casting vote in favor. Messrs. Wade and Hulbert subsequently moved a resolution which was carried asking the provincial government to take immediate steps to> build a main trunk road traversing all the municipalities on the north side of the Fraser and connecting with the south side at Chilliwack, thence down the south side of the stream to New West- ' minster r-nd Vancouver. The construction of such a road would mean either the erection of a bridge or the establishment of a ferry service between the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd eastern end of the road on the north and Chilliwack on the south eastern terminus. The mayor of Chilliwack being present complimented the bureau oh the abls manner in which they had discussed the various matters and believed that the bureau was the right kind of organization for the valley and from that time on would be a booster for the bureau. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The president of the Board of Trade in a neat little speech, complimented the delegates on the work of the day; and although the Chilliwack Board of Trade was not a member he would \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdafter what he had heard\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdhighly recommend the board to become a member.

If you are short of a saucepan get it from your neighbor, vou have visitors and need a few forks or spoon, why there is your neighbor, but it dees not follow because your neighbor's horse runs away your motor cycle should go and do likewise. A very exciting runaway occurred on Tuesday when a horse from the livery stable tried to beat the C. P. R. train' into Abbotsford. The horse won and also showed good judgment by running right up to the blacksmith shop door with the disabled buggy. The driver also showed good judgment by jumping into a nice soft ditch. A motor cycle, with a gentleman aboard, just to show its superiority over a common or garden horse, gave a correct demonstration of how' to remove a wire fence without unseating the rider, much to the amusement of the onlookers.
