TWO OF A KIND . Two young officers in an Irish regiment of the same age, says the World, entered and left Sandhurst at the same time with equal credit; both fell on the same day in the same fight in France. The PatriotlcT'concert in aid of the Belgians, which had been eagerly looked forward to by, the people of Abbotsford and'surro'unding district was held in, the Alexandria Hall on Friday evening;'-October 23rd. To say that the concert was a grand, success from every point,of view would only be to express uVmildly. Such an aggregation of high class .talent was never before.gathered \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd together on one program In Abbotsford and many were the exclamations, of delight heard frbm' all parts of the well filled hall.' People had come from far and wide to show their interest in such a worthy cause;and the evening will, long be remembered by' all those who were' fortunate to be present.. The seating'capacity of the hall was greatly overtaxed and the' S. R.' O. sign- was hung out \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd long before the commencement \"of proceedings. - The thanks of community are certainly due to Mrs. J. C. McLagan and daughters who were untiring in their efforts to make the concert the success it was. Every one,, of the twenty one members included in the program was a gem and from the' time the curtain rose at.8:30 until the closing tableau7 scene everything' went along with a swing arid a\", dash , that displayed.good organization and manage ment.

All were in excellent -voice, and were heard at their .best. In | addition to the singers Miss Henderson, (Abbotsford) .gave a piano solo which was splendidly rendered. Mr. McMillan and Simon showed themselves to be past masters with the banjo The Sketch \"Lady Jane\" was well put on and showed careful rehearsal and last, but not by any means least the orchestra from Sumas, Wash., under thel capable leadership of Wm. Clarke rendered several catchy numbers which were highly appreciated. The accompanists- on piano to the singers were Miss Doris McLagan, Miss Henderson and Mr. D. Blair, Jr. ina very satisfactory manner. The rising of the curtains on the opening number dispayed a decorative scheme in keeping with the occasion The stage had been, artistically de- j corated with, flags, autumn leaves | and potted plants which gave a splen j did effect. The programmes were'all: hand written and quite a task for those capable people whoh ad this in hand. The programmes were offered for sale during the-.evening by Red Cross Nurses in the persons of Misses Mabel and Annie Nelson, Miss Mains, Miss Vivian Peele and Miss Dorothy Parton, whose efforts added a tidy sum to the proceeds. At the conclusion of this most excellent entertainment coffee 'that mother used to make', cake and sandwiches wrere provided to those who had helped to make the concert the great success it was. This feature was attended to by Mrs. Peele, Mrs. B. B. Smith and Mrs. Wiggins. Mr. J. A.

A writer in the Vancouver World seems to be full of the harmful and non-progressive influence of our present system of, banking. He has certainly, some very curious ideas about aiany things as expressed in a letter published in this issue from- the daily World.'

Is this the practical conclusion after ail investigation is .ended-. $10 is a lot of money to many people nowadays, even the fruitgrower. Why not arrange it so that all the little fellows can get in too? According to an article \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd published in another column of this issue from the Vancouver-Sun, the Liberal organ of the party in B. C, the .Hon. Joseph Martin and the president of the Liberal party in Vancouver, have set aside the bone of contention and will be hereafter members of the same fold. 'It Is up to some one now to set Hon.

After discussion the report was a- dopted Mr. McQuarrie, of New Westminster, being strongly in opposition and moving a vote practically of no confidence in the solicitor.

Mr.' Smith says: 1 i \"Instead of- depending on newspaper despatches, i wrote at. once to Sir Wilfrid Laurier to get the ('acts which 'I consider should be satisfactory to all concerned. Mr. Martin has had some difference of opinion for years with the'Liberal' party policy, especially on the trade question as well as the British preference, being anxious to have the latter materially increased. My own opinion on- this matter has always been the same, as 1 expressed it in the house of commons when the reciprocity a- greement was under discussion. As far as Mr. Martin's opinions are concerned on this question, I have . always held the same views. \"These differences between Mr. J. Martin and Sir Wilfrid Laurier \"have been settled in favor of a stronger policy in favor of reduction of,duty on,farming implements and mining and mill machinery, and some material increase in the British preferuce. This is very pleasing t'o me and settles any difference between myself and Mr. Martin. Those differences in the past arose out of matters connected with provincial affairs, before there were any party lines in British Columbia, and have long since disappeared. In fact, so anxious was 1, as the president of1 the Vancouver Liberal Association, to get all true Liberals to settle their differences, that as soon as Mr. Martin arrived in Van couver from England, 1 -interviewed him at his hotel and invited him to join tbe party in Vancouver. \"Mr.- Martin has always been a democrat and no one has ever questioned his honor in public life. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd These two things arc, in my opinion, the real qualifications for members of the Liberal party.

C. Campaign\",. The meeting was largely attended and great interest was manifested, r .Speeches were made by lady president, the chairman of the Board of Trade, officers of the B. C Manufacturers Association, and others, all of whom seemed to feel that the question was a most important one to Vancouver and called for their best efforts, says a writer in ,the World. It- is rather commendable for a business man to be keen for trade, for _oiit of his business he hopes to win profits, and profits look good'. That the people of any community should patronize local industries,' thereby keeping money in circulation in their own neighborhood, land em- plyoing their own people seems reasonable; that they do not do so is very evident. Let us think for a,minute The house 1 am in is built- of B. C. lumber, fir and cedar,-, taken from the virgin forest of the country, felled and sawn into logs by Japs, Hindoos, Austrians, Germans and other foreign labor, hauled to the landing by a donkey engine, conveyed to the mill by a locomotive, manufactured into lumber in an up-to-date mill, at the rate-of several hundred thousand feet per day, by a gang of Chinamen and Japanese laborers, piled in the yards and warehouses, and loaded on to wagons,\" for deliveryby Japs and Chinamen, and all it cost the builder was from $16. to $50 per thousand. The timber-was a British Columbia product, bestowed by nature in lavish abundance of quality, and in quantity all that could be desired, for which the people of Canada - get 5 0 cents per thousand, out of which they pay for office and field expenses- protection from fire, etc., about $1.00 The Jap was made in Tokio, the Chinaman in Pekin, the donkey' at !y donated to the war fund. The boxes cost GO cents. , It took ten years to groAv the trees, two hours to gather and pack the fruit and some more time with a man and team to place them at the railroad station. For all this he got 30 cents! No wonder the Board of Trade wants men to settle on the land. There is possibly not another man in this Wes-' tern country that carries the welfare, of the \"dear people\" so close to his' heart as Sir Richard McBride. If he hated anybody I think he- would try to get them interested in a piece of\" land; but he don't, and he leaves all that buncombe to the real estate a- gents and the Board of. Trade. 1 take it that if a man gets the \"back to the, land\" idea, or thinks it is up to him to find a, mine that will employ men in producing something that people want, or fancies he can see business and prosperity for himself and others in a large factory , it is his own funeral. He don't heed to think that he is a patriot or- that he is'even the first of his kind. There have been others, and 'the bitter.,experience of others will be his experience; only .more so.. If the' merchants and the manufacturers and .business men of Vancouver, had been wideawake instead of investing their lovely dollars in lands! hous.es, and lots, goods and chattels,'and oth\"--;- er things from which, the value fad-, eth, they would have negaged in, the banking business, sot at today they would, be secure, and all the stiffs who didn't know any better would be working overtime and sitting up at. nights to figure out how, they, too, could make something with nothing: Why a man with real white matter, in his head should invest money in a .- great office building, a factory or a mine, when the opportunity * was at hand to promote a bank passeth. understanding, unless he really .wanted to be of some use in the world.

Steveston looks and smells like Chinatown. The factories employing thousands of men and women in the fishing season are operated mostly by Chinamen. The fish are caught principally by .Japs, and the profits of the industry goes to English, German, French, American and other foreign bondholders and shareholders. The industry amounts to many millions of dollars, and British Columbia and her people reap but a. small profit from it.

I heard .an Englishman say only a few days ago, that the Vancouver Board' of Trade was composed of a lot of boneheads; but after hearing the .sensible remarks;of the president and .other members of that important body at the meeting above referred, to I am sure that there are some cavities in the bone filled with vital matter that may yet give a good account of'itseif. Patriotism for profit is better than no idea of patriotism at all, and may lead to that purer and nobler brand that seeks the well-being of the whole people, instead of pecuniary advantage only, of a group of traders and non-producers, who cannot long live off their .own fat. Up to the present time the purpose served by .the board of trade, the Manufacturers' Association and the wholesale and retail dealers appears' to be .to help feed the big bankingin- ,stitutions of the country at the expense of the consumers on the one hand and the.producers on the other What difference does it make to the business men and traders of Vancouver whether the government encourages settlement on the land or not? It is much easier to sell a few hundred thousand acres of land to a big real estate firm than to sell it in small lots to four or five thousand farmers. It is much better in, every way for the government, assuming no responsibility for public improvements, can sympathise with the poor farmers and still be the friends of the people.

HAS FREE \"HAPPY HUNTING GROUNDS\" The following letter has been received which we gladly publish: Huntingdon, B. C, Oct 19. Editor, Abbotsford Post, Abbotsford, B. C. Dear Sir: I note in your issue of the 16th Inst., a sarcastic remark re my greed during the pleasant season; in not allowing; anyone to shoot on my property; having posted notices to this effect. . Not a notice stands on my property it has always been open for the enjoyment of all neighbors and friends As far as notices are concerned the whole country is full of them, and the individual who singled out, and advertised me, as an \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd exception of greed; is one of those mischievous insignificants, who never substantiate their statements, by having their names printed. Yours truly, W. L. BLATCHFORD. We presume the following is the item which has hurt Mr. Blatchford's feelings: \"Customs' Officer Blatchford wants all the pheasants that locate on his ranch and has posted a notice on his property to warn shooting'men of his feelings in this regard.\" The new concrete stack at the Trail smelter is 25 0 feet high and 18 feet inside diameter. Some stack that Eh! Revelstoke has shelved its bylaw to borrow money for the present. Endorsing a recommendation . by the executive, the Fraser Valley Development League in general session at New Westminster last ' week- de- .linitcly decided on ,the organization of a central selling agency for the cooperative marketing of Fraser Valley produce. The agency will .be organized under the provisions of the Agricultural Associations Act, which provide that when twenty per cent, of the capital is subscribed in the province the provincial government will advance the remaining \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd eighty per cent. The stock is to be sold on the basis of 20 per cent, cash, the balance over a period of five years, so that the deferred payments of the stock as they come in will meet the repayments of the government ad vance. It is proposed to put the capital of the agency association at $200,000, to be divided into 4000 shares of ?50 each. The central a- gency will be' supported by local exchanges, which will ensure a sufficient amount of produce to make the marketing operations of the central exchange a success. The report was adopted and the executive was empowered to proceed with organization on the lines indicated. In addition to acting on the medium for collection, transportation and marketing of produce, the exchange will be in .a-position to collect information as to the following season's probable markets, and advise growers to guard against under or over-production, and will supervise packing and grading. In advocating this action Mr. G. O Buchanan pointed out that the League is acting on the best available advice of the experts of the Agricultural Department, and on lines-recommended by the Royal Commission on Agriculture. The need for such an organization is obvious. Farmers are discouraged by reason of the inadequate returns received, and the necessary government assistance can only be secured in this way. In the course of the discussion it was demonstrated that the members of the league have confidence in the farmers of the Fraser Valley taking up this project. In' order to take advantage of the benefits accruing members must be stockholders and this it was felt will be a sufficient inducement. Some discussion a- rose as to the methods of dividing the profits, over and above the six per cent, dividend which the act provides shall be the maximum. The suggestion was made that the consumers who were stockholders might be allowed some share of the direct advantages, on -a co-operative plan, in ratio to the amount of produce purchased, at it was pointed out that six per cent, would hardly- induce- anyone not a producer to take stock in the association. On the other hand the view was expressed that the benefit to thei consumer -would consist mainly in lower prices resulting from the elimination of the middleman,. although this of course would apply equally to all consumers, whether shareholders or not. 1 Mr. G. O. Buchanan thought that the adoption of a co-operative plan would hardly be permissable under the act, and in any case would widen the scope of the project to an extent not foreseen by the executive. The project was not, however, by any means perfected, and the executive would yet have to consult many authorities before setting the details. On Friday evening last the regular two car passenger train on the B..C. E. R. Chilliwack line was derailed a mile.west of Abbotsford when it run into a drove of cattle. Motorman Brookes was slightly injured, while Conductor Crowell was . not hurt. Conductor Armstrong of the Westminster branch, on'' leave of absence and who was returning from a hunting trip, had the small bone of his left arm broken. . He was taken lo the Sumas hospital. Mr. Burnett, an immigration officer, who was one of the pasengers, was badly shaken. The train was.:due at New Westminster at 8:55 p.m. and it was 7.10 p. in. when the accident happened Both cars were' derailed, the first leaving the track completely and being badly wrecked while,the second just left the rails and was in no way damaged. ' The drove of cattle had evidently been grazing alongsidet he track and hearing the approaching train, became excited and'ran,; in front of the cars. Some of the cattle were killed The lights at the C. P. R. station which is supplied by the 13. C. E. R. were out for half an hour, and that \"is the-first intimation that the people of Mission City had of the accident - which assumed very large reports of damage for a few, hours untMhe true -facts of the case -were heard. THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED A solution of the problem of what to do with the unemployed might be found in placer mining along Lar\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd do river,' if conditions next summer show no improvenment over what exists at the present time. It is said on reliable authority that as high as $5 per day has been made by \"panning\" along the banks of the stream that flows into the north end of the lake, but in ordinary flush times this is not considered, a. fair return for the unpleaslant nature of the work. No doubt the owners of. large leases of placer ground would favorably consider the sub-leasing of small areas to individuals .on a royalty basis as this, method would serve \"to-help prospect the ground. ' Placer mining on the Fraser would be profitable too if.some people were content with the work. By instructions from the Hon. the Minister of Agriculutre a distribution of a superior sort of grains and potatoes will- be made, during the coming winter and spring to Canadian farmers.. The sample foo general distribution will consist of spring wheat (about 5 lbs) white oats (about 4 lbs) barley (about 5 lbs) and field peas (about 5 lbs') These will be sent out from Oltawa. A distribution of potatoes (in 3 tb samples) will be carried on from several of the experimental farms, the Central Farm' al Ottawa supplying only the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd provinces of Ontario and Quebec\/ All samples will be sent free, by mail. . Applicants must give particulars in! regard to the soil on their farms,' and some account of their experience with sculi kinds of grain (or potatoes) as they have grown, so that a promising sort for their conditions may be selected. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Each application must be separated-and must be signed by the applicant. Only one sample of grain.and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm. If both samples aro asked for in the same letter only one will .be sent. Applications .on any,, kind of printed form cannot be accepted. As the supply of seed is limited farmers are advised lo .apply early; but the applications will not necessarily be filled in the exact order in which they are received. Preference will bo always given .to the' most thoughtful and explicit requests. Applications received after the end of January will probably bo too late. All applications for grain (and applications from tbe provinces of Ontario and Quebec for potatoes) should be addressed to the Dominion Cer- ealist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Such applications require no postage. If otherwise addressed delay and disappointment may occur. Aplications, for potatoes, from farmers in any other province should be addressed (postage, prepaid) to the Superintendent of the nearest Branch Experimental Farm in the province. J. H. GRISDALE, Director, Dominion Experimental Farms. ITEMS OF INTEREST TO ALL The express rates on apples in the Stale of Washington has been cut in two. , L.

The reduction in wages is based, on one per cent of salary of employees. Hon. W. J. Bowser who has just returned from the north', says he saw. great opportunities in that country. Sardis basketball players have been twice victors over Chilliwack. John W. McNeil of Hipe is dead at the age of 72. The Chilliwack Progress registered five births in a recent issue and one death. This is surely progress. If Krupps Were Crippled FOLLOWING CANADA'S LEAD Canada's example in instituting free distribution of forest tree seedlings, Cuttings, etc., to prairie homesteaders for planting out as shelter belts, etc., bids fair soon to be followed by the United States department of agriculture. The prespect is that this distribution will be made from the newly established Field Station at Mandan, N. D. Mr. W. A. Peterson the superintendent of the station, lately visited the Dominion Forestry Branch Nursery Station at Indian Head, Saskatchewan, in order to investigate Canadian methods of carrying out the enterprise. Cranbrook has disposed of $35,000 worth of water works debentures at 88. This will be sufficient to enable the city to complete the distributory system this fall. Phoenix will have a $10,000 Union Hall, to replace the one burnt a short time ago. Dr. H.R. Draney DENTIST Were Krupps' worZ:s to be crippled more than half the battle would be won. That the Allies are quite alive to the importance of this-fact is revealed in the report that the dauntless British airmen who flew over Dusseldorf was very near the works. A colossal enterprise, the works dominate the whole of Essen, and something like 70,00 0 workmen are employed. Situated in the centre of Essen, close to the railway, they, together with their attendant institutions, cover an area of 500 acres. The tentacle arms of the vast establishment stretch out cotopus-like on all sides. Two thousand trucks and over fifty locomotives rush along these tracks daily conveying German guns armor-plates, ammunition, and shells to German garrisons, forts, ports, and harbors. Six thousand tons of coal, coke, and briquettes are poured daily into the huge creature's rapacious jaws. One and a quarter million tons of fuel are required annually to appease its insatiable appetite. Twenty million cubic metres of water, or, more than 450,000 inhabitants of Cologne consume yearly, are used in the works.\" LTQUOR ACT, 1010 (Section 42.) , Notice is hereby given that on tho first day of December next, application will be made to the Superintend dent of Provincial Police for renewal of the hotel license to-sell liquor, by retail in the hotel known as the Abbotsford Hotel, situate in Abbotsford'; B.
