J. Hutcherson and responded to by Rev. .'. Ft,\nBlunden and Mr. C. II. Stuart Wade,\nThe latter gentleman proved himself\nan expert in elucidation of this Im-\nportant feature e,f provincial tforl .\nHe looked upon the winning (it the\nStlllwell trophy as a start in making public the unbounded resources\nto the- wonderful land. In his judgment there was ne\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD part of H. i'.\nthat could successfully compete- with\ntbe- Delta district, He believed thai\nthere Wire man.' Other pr,nine's\nbesides potatoes that could win out\nin any exhibition in the world, H6\nwould remind his hearers there were\nonly two things In the United States\nexhibitions* open to the continent,\nnamely oats and potatoes, and hael\nwe s.nt oats he was confident from\nwhat he had seen that we could have\nwon with them,\nit had been said by judges that a\nbetter exhibit could not be 14.1t t\"-\ngether than the winning potatoes, but\nhe was satisfied that we could get\ntogether a belter if only we had time.\nThey must remember only six weeks\nwas the time they had for preparation. At some length the speaker detailed the-- tour of Mr. Smith and himself pointing out the difficulties they\nhad to get their exTiibit before the\npublic of U. S. cities. He then urged\nupon the Delta Hoard of Trade to\nspare no pains to secure the best\nmen to serve with them in nut only\nthe local but the wider interest of the\ngreat and glorious province of which\nit was so conspicuous* a part. The\nvalue of good pictures was insisted\nupon and the board asked to supply\nthe government with photographs\nnot onlv of standing crops and scenery but of the homes of the people\nwhich were always a good indication j\nof the prosperity of the community. j\nHe would like to say a word in praise\nof the minister of agriculture, the\nHon. Price Ellison, fur the generous ,\ntreatment they had received nor was\nMr. Scott, the deputy minister, to ]\nbe forgotten, for it was at his suggestion the minister had sanctioned\na l&rge expenditure of money to fur-\nther the work they had in hand. In\nclosing he wished to put in a plea\nfor concerted action by districts formulating some scheme to be taken\nup systematically, persistently and j\nwith energy.\nMr E. I\". Douglas at this stage was\ncalled upon for a little humor and\nwith story after story told at the\nexpense of some one or other of thus?\npresent, fairly convulsed the company.\n\"Our Guests' was then proposed by\n.Mr. S. \V. Fisher, who in the name\nof the Board of Trade reiterated the\nwelcome given by chairman at the\ncommencement of the meeting to the\nspecial guests and to all who had\ngathered to do them honor. He\nwished to say It was not only a peculiar pleasure to welcome Mr. A.\nSmith, who as one of themselves,\nhad done such signal service and met\nwith such splendie! success, but also\nit was a special pleasure to have\nwith him Mr. Stuart Wade. He\nremembered a visit of that gentleman\ntwo years ago when he came to help\nthem in their work as a new Board\nof Trade. The council gave the Interest shown an.l the mastery of detail could be judged from the splendid\naddress just listened to. On\nbehalf of the Board ,he would beg\nof those who were not already members to come in with them and heip\nto keep things moving. He Could\nspeak for the Board when he said\nthere was no special interest sought\nbut the interest of all.\nRev. Chas. C. Hoyle, of the Ladner\nAnglican t'hur.-h, followed in response to the toast with a most brilliant address full of wit and humor\nalter wishing the health of guests\nand thanking the Board of Trade for\nkind invitation extended to a poor\ncounty parson, to say a few worels.\nHe said he considered the people of\nthe Delta lived in a prosperous community, second to none, superior to\nthe Greeks, Romans, and all ancient\nnations and especially the children of\nIsrael of whose history we knew so\nmuch. He could prove that the Delta\npeople were much more highly favored than tho Israelites of old, for if\nI ...LOCAL ITEMS...
