Besides a \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD iodly\nrepresentation of the Board there wai\na large attendance of bhe general\npublic present. Mr. R, I\". Kittson,\npresident of the Board, presided, and\n.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDlr. W. J. l.antilng, secretary, supported him.\nThe president, out or oourteey to\nthe deputation, altered the ti.sual routine and with the consent of the meeting, heard the deputation first\nMr. Hodgson, the first speaker, is\npresident of the South Vancouver\nBoard of Trade, but he carefully dissociated himself from appearing as a\nrepresentative of his Board and spoke\nas a private citizen. 'He said there\ncould be absolutely no question that\ndirect communication would be for\nthe benefit of Ladner, South Vancouver and Vancouver City. Although it\nmattered little to him personally what\nparticular route wis adopted he favored the Fraser avenue one. Some\npeople seemed to think lt necessary\nthat they should have a bridge Tuning over from Ladner to Woodwards\nto get that direct connection. That\nwas not so. They could have a ferry.\nIf it were not possible to take freight\ncars across that ferry it could he made\nlarge enough to take automobiles and\nteams and to build a tram line direct\nthrough to Vancouver City. The reason he favored the Fraser Avenue\nroute was that at present it was the\nonly grade across the North Arm.\nCouncillor Thomas, South Vancouver, said it was 10 years since he had\nlast visited Ladner and he felt more\nsatisfied than ever that they wanted\ndjrect connection with the city of Vancouver. It was up to them as South\nVurocouver along with the population\nof Ladner to get together and pull\ntogether In order to get that direct\nconnection. He did not see any impossibility in the matter if they worked together. Vancouver City wanted\nthe products of Delta farms and of\ncourse Delta wanted eheLr trade. He\nreferred to the meeting with Mr.\nGlover In Vancouver when the matter\nwas very fully discussed. It had\nflagged a l.'ttle since then. He thought\nthe B.C. Electric Company was now\nalive to the question and he did not I\nthink they would have such hard work I\nto Impress them with the necessity I\nof a connecting tram line. He could\nassure them they were doing all ln\ntheir power to forward the movement'\nand he hoped their Board of Trade\nand Municipal Council would take up\nthe matter an dhelp them out. They\nhad now got the Fraser Avenue grade\ncut down and were < 'nuhiing the'\ntrack on Pake road, and by the time\nthat was done they would have the\ngrade completed and run the line)\ndown to the Eburne line. That was\nifive miles of the road completed. Ile|\nunderstood the distance from Ladner\nto Vancouver in a direct line was only\n11 or 12 m.les. They could rest as-1\nsured Ladner would have all the help\nthey could afford them.\nMr. Brown said Delta had the richest soil in B.C. and Vancouver wanted Its products. Delta had also Boundary Bay and they wanted that as a\nplayground. They were only 14 or 15\nmiles from the City of Vancouver In\ndirect line and eventually when the\nriver was bridged they would form\nthe residential part of greater Vancouver. In Chicago they travelled .10\nand 40 miles to get to business. With\nreference to the Fraser Street Association they had put on a short temporary service across the ferry, but\nthat was simply an Introduction. They\ncould not afford to wait for a bridge\nacross the river. In a conversation\nwith Mr. Glover, of the B.C. Electrlo\nCompany, that gentleman stated the\ncom par y were willing to extend the\nline through thp Delta but to erect\na '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.'.sc was too expensive.\nThe boards of trade of Delta and\nother municipalities interested should\nwrite and ask the government to establish a proper car ferry. A great\nmany people in Vancouver had never\nheard of the Delta district Intelligently\nand did n->t know where it was or\nanything about it. Delta had 40,000\nacres and a population of about 1.000.\nThere was no reason why they should\nnot have 20.000 of a population if they\ngo* a residential portion of that city\nbere. Ho annealed for a united effort to effect their object. Delta com- |\nplained that Vancouver City market\nwas unsatisfactory. That was so. hut\nlt was not the fault of th,. Market\nCommittee; they had no means of direct communication with the farmers.\nIf they had farmers could deal direct\nwith the consumer and do away with\nthe profits of the middleman.\nMr. Gale asserted that much of thej\nDelta farm produce first went to New i\nWestminster and then was sent t\"'\nVancouver to be sold at enhanced\nprices. If they had direct communication with Vancouver and the pro-j\nducer brought into touch with the i\nconsumer, the ratepayers of Vanc.vu-J\nVer would look after the City Market |\nand cee they were not charged two\nprices. They had been working on;\nthis matter for the last seven or eight,\nmonths and they wanted the aid of\nDelta. The representative bodies of\nDelta, Richmond. South Vancouver\nand Vaneouver city should be united\non this subject.\nMr. (1. Stewart, president of the\nFraser Avenue A*asocla'tion, said h*\nhoped soon they would have the construction of Praser Rtreet, from the\nSouth Ami of the Praser River to\nBurr ird Inlet. The ll C.T5.R, was\non-lj Just waiting to he asked to \"on-\ntlnue their line and as soon as they\nrealize it is really necessary they will\nlose no tlmi making the extension.\nMr. Martin, secretary of the Association, gave an account of Its formation and Its work. The Vancouver\nBoard of Trade was deeply Interested\nin their present scheme for direct\ncommunication with the Delta. President Er-klne and Mr. Blair, of that\nBoard, through pressure of work, regretted they could not attend that\nmeeting, hut wished them success and\nto assure the Delta Board of their\nheartv co-operation in the scheme.\nMr. Blair had as,ked him. the speaker,\nto furnish the Board with a written\nstatement regarding the meeting that\nnight. He wound up in the same\nstrain as the i ther speakers, unity of\neffort and co-operation with the other\nmunicipal bodies interested.\nThe chairman replied to the delegation that the whole ouestlon had\nbeen before the Board, who had\nevinced great enthusiasm in the project. A joint committee with other\nboards had been appo:nted and had\nmet in Vancouver under the presidency of Mr. Erskine. At that meeting n permanent committee had been\nanpolnted to work on the question of\nthe bridge. There were two members from South Vancouver and two\nfrom Delta on that committee. Those\nfrom Delta weTP Instructed to go-\nahead and report periodically to their\ncentres. It was a question they were\nnot going to lose sight of. and the\nwords that had fallen from the deputation had not fallen on barren\nground, but would bear fruit.\nMr. Martin begged leave to refer to\nanother question. The Fraser Street\nAssociation had appointed1 a transportation committee and with the assistance of Richmond had started a Terry\nservice via Ladner and Woodwards\nand a motor bus service thence te\nSouth Vancouver. The question of a\nbridge must necessarily take some\ntime. He had it on good authority\nthat the Provincial government could\nnot see its way to give assistance towards the eonwru-ction of a bridge at\nWoodward*. They had more hope of\na grant from the Dominion government. Mr. Vasey had gone t'\"> a great\ndeal of expense i'n the motor bus service between the present terminus of\nthe Fraser Street line nnd Woodwards\nLanding and he asked for the cooperation of Ddta in thi*\" matter. It\nappeared that Mr. Brewster did pot\nfeel it expedient to continue longer\nthe ferry service between Ladner and\nWoodwards. Mr. Vasey had arranged\nfor another boat, one that had r\"n\nbetween Harrison and Chil'iwack. Tt\nwas a larger boat than Mr. Hrewster'3,\nalthough that sentleman b'.l given\nthem excellent trans*pprt*ati*>n he f--*t\nthe larger boat would afford better\nbusiness and carry freight and horses\nas well as oassengers. Mr. Vnsev\nhoped that the Board of Trade would\ngive him their mora' support.\ndn answer to a call. fMntaln Brewster exolalned his position. He felt\na dividenee in sneaking on this subject and had not intended to take\nany part in the discupsion, Hewer,\nhe migh; as well te'l them that he\nhad been taking 'rom msson.gers\ncrowing the river on the yfn l \"ird\n-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDin the ennrtn\"\"\" sum of ?'- ir! fares\nner dav. oi -m avera*re Thnt did\nnot nav.

They had today good roads !\nand great improvements going on, a\nwater By_tem and a sewerage scheme.\nThe municipality was settling up rapidly. In fact they were in the tran-\nsit'onary stage from a rural to a\nmantufacturing community. Richmond's Inducements for Industrial\nBites could not be surpassed.\nDr. E. S.

Underwood. Let us,\nfor example, take the Oxford uml\nHampshire cross us a type of big sheep,\nIt being it favorite cross, nnd the Shropshire as un example of u smaller und,\nIt may be said With nil due respect to\nthe before mentioned cross, a better\nquality sheep.\nIt is well known thnt big sheep are\nbig consumers aud consequently cannot tie so thick on the land us small\nsheep can. and. for Instance, where 100\nbreeding ewes of the Oxford-Hampshire type can be kept 140 Shropshire*\ncould be run on the same given qtian\ntlty of land. Then, too, the Shropshire\nIs more prolific than any oilier short\nwooled breed, and, whereas one and\nono-fonrth lambs per ewe Is considered\nquite n satisfactory average In the Oxford and Hampshire flocks or the cross\nbetween the two above named, one\nand three-fourths is quite common and\none and a half the usual average ln\nShropshire flocks, so that, taking the\nexample before mentioned on the same\ngiven quantity of land, 100 cross Oxford-\nHatnpghlres would produce 125 lambs,\nand the 140 Shropshires In all probability would produce 220, mortality\nbeing about the same In both cases.\nAnd again, when the time comes for\ntbe lambs to go on grain there Is no\ncomparison between tbe amount thnt\nin Oxford-Hampshire will consume as\nagainst the Shropshire. One and one-\nhalf pounds of grain per day Is about\ntbe average quantity given to the flrst\nmentioned sheep, whereas half that allowance Is ample and ls all that Is generally allowed to a Shropshire. Therefore the quantity of grain consumed\nby the Shropshire*, although nearly\n100 more, would be considerably less\nper day than consumed by the Oxford-\nHampshlres and in five or six months'\nfeeding would amount to a pretty substantial difference.\nAlso a Shropshire will clip as great\na weight of wool as any other short\nwooled breed and generally renlhes\nmore, and when draft ewes come to be\nsold In the SMtumn those of the Shrop\nshire or more compact type are far\nbetter to sell, as appearances often go\nagainst the sale of big, unshapely old\newes. The mutton also Is of better\nquality and makes more per pound In\nthe market thnn any save the Southdown.\nAn Iowa Sow Ration.\nThe Iowa experiment station ls using\na ration for brood sows nnd sucking\npigs that ls made up of seventy pounds\nof cornmeal, ten younds of middlings,\nten pounds of 60 per cent meat meal or\ntankage, five pounds of bran, two\npounds of oilmeul, oue pound of feeding quality of bone Hour, one pound of\nlimestone dust and n pound of salt.\nThese feeds are thoroughly mixed and\ngiven In a thick slop, the aim being to\nfeed Just enough to enable the sow to\nproduce enough milk for her pigs.\nThis ration looks like un old fashioned doctor's prescription\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDn little of everything\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbut there Is u reason for it,\nsays Kansas Farmer. Iu the flrst place\nIt has proved to be the best and cheapest combination of feeds for the purpose, and ln the second place It produces results.\nIt is well understood that tbe sow\nmust bave flesh and bone forming feed\nor the pigs will not develop properly.\nThe tankage, bone flour and limestone\ndust are added to supply these elements\nwhich are not present lu sufficient\nquantities in the others.\nWASHINGTON STatjs\nSEATTLE, May 16\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDOver LOO [ \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ,,\nfires are raging ln Western Was\ntun between the Canadian boun I iry\nline nnd the Columbia river, in gn(\nhonilsh county thc town of Sultan\nls In imminent dungcr of destruction\nman ..\"the Eraser river took placo at \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD t'\"1\" tlT6 threatening the wooden *,i,,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nWliounock ou Friday the 3rd Inst, whloh connects the two win\nThere was a large attendance both of I source ol* Its water supply.\n. old timers and uew comers from some\nOf whom he received, during his prolonged illness, many kindnesses.\nTho following appreciation of the\nlate Mr. Robertson, has, on the re-\n' quest of the The British Columbian,\nj been contributed by Bev.
