Telephone officials visited Ladner by automobile on business of considerable local importance. The main object of their visit was to Inspect the damage wrought to their properly in this vicinity by the disastrous storms of last winter. It was found'that their line giving telephone service to the Brunswick cannery at the mouth of the river required considerable repairs, and it is understood this work will be immediately proceeded with. While' in town the party interviewed the officials of the Delta Telephone Company with regard to the probable extension of that company's lines within the next three years. The material required by the local company is ordered jointly with the B.C. Telephone Company and as all such equ-ipmnet has to be ordered eighteen months in advance, the visiting officials took ad- vantage of this opportunity of ascertaining the requirements of the Delta district. The party was comprised of Ibe following officers: Mr. II. McGou- gan, superintendent of commercial department; Mr. J. Stuart, assistant superintendent of construction; Mr. C.

The Vancouver News-Advertiser gives the following account of the cup game: Steadying down to good soccer in the second half, after balancing the score, the Thistles defeated Westham Island at the Powell street grounds last Saturday afternoon, and thuB became possessors of the Imperial Cup. The Islanders, who play very aggressive but not altogether heady football, gave the crack Vancouver eleven some anxious momenta in the first half, and when A. Trip made it two to one for the visitors on a sharp diagonal close-in shot from outside right, there were those In the big crowd which lined the field that thought it was already a lost day for the Thistles. Westham Island have not yet developed the accurate pasBlng and combination work, however, Which has reaulted in the Thistles coming out on the long end of meny keenly fought contestB. The Islanders' tactics were largely comprised of phalanx attacks, the forward in possession of the ball being followed in closely by his comrades. Thistles, when they got themselves In hand, developed a mu;:h freer game, and line passing from the wings to centre and vice versa, opened the play and put them into nice scoring po sifions. which they hastened to take advantage of. Whether it is the clear rural atmosphere of the Ladner district, or some other factor ���Rl any ratj the Westham Island eleven arc always n splendid condition when they meet the other teams of the league, and the speed which they develop frorc the kick-off is most trying to their opponents, who are not so fortunau in getting a plentiful simply of ozone Thus Is was that for the first half hour Thistles played anything but a first-class game. Matthews scored for the Thistles, to be sure, after only a minute of play, but from tha' time until nearly the end of tho first period the Islanders bore down upon the opposing goal in a series of whirlwind rushes that tested the dualities of the Thistle backs. Christian does not play his best soccer under such conditions, where the ball is forced through on dribbles, rather than on swinging shots from wings and centre. Shortly after the Vancouver tally, three of the Westham forwards were close In on the goal with the ball, but lost it in a scramble with ; McEwen. W. Tamborin found tbe ! netB at last on a low shot from In i front of goal. Some 15 minutes | later A. Trim secured the Islanders' (second tally on a diagonal shot, from the right wing. Thistles began to settle down to football after this event, and before Referee Leech blew ' his whistle for half time, the score was evened up. In the second period the Thistles had the game well under control. Several attacks on the Westham goal nearly resulted in their scoring, but Palmer was playing a fine game between the posts and saved one or two hard shots. Finally. Thistles secured a penalty. Matthews took it, and sagged th" nets behind Palmer on a beautiful drive. Anderson took the lasi goal tor the Thistles a ilttle while before the close ot the match, driving iii the leather on a pass from the wings. Tin- teams were as follow.;: Westham Island���Palmer. !',.

A matter of great interest to the community was briefly discussed at the close of the annual meeting of the Conservative Association on Wednesday evening when Mr. II. J. Hutcherson placed on the table statistics relative to the importation of hay into British Columbia from the American side and pointed out the necessity for some co-operative _ell- lii-.-, organization, | It has been felt for some time past that some definite action should he taken to meet the competition from acrosB the border. During the past two years the price of hay has been declining steadily and the ranchers have come to the conclusion ithat the middlemen have been making too large a margin of profit. Failing to buy the produce of Delta and neighboring agricultural districts at a low price, they have bought hay and oats from Washington where such products sell at a lesser " rate. The United States government has imposed a high tar-' iii on hay entering from this side, which prohibits British Columbia producers competing in the American markets. It would be only just and fair if a like protection were afforded tiie ranchers on this side of the line. *. The matter under discussion on Wednesday evening was the best mode of combating this coin- petition and though no definite action was taken more will be heard of this matter in the near future. The suggestion that the farmers of this district co-operate in the sale of their produce by establishing a distributing market in Vancouver, thus doing away with the profit at . present enriching the middleman, seemed to meet with most approval. ��� With this end in view, Mr. Hutcherson was appointed some time ago to ascertain facts as to the amount of hay entering British Columbia. Applying at the Customs House In ; Vancouver for the desired informa-j tion, he was referred to Ottawa. Through the courtesy of Mr. J. D. | Taylor, M.P., he was placed in possession of statistics which show a decided Increase during the past two years:.

The electors of the Delta Electoral District are. reminded that in order to have their names on the roll for the quarterly revision in May all applications have to be in the hands of the Attorney-General's Department by the 7th day of April. The Provincial Government has ordered the cancellation of all existing rolls, lt has been represented by the opposition Bhat a large percentage of those registered, especially not In cities, were not eligible to vote, and the government wishing to be absolutely fair and recognizing it to bo in the interests of the province to have clean rolls has taken this step. Many of the electors of this district took advantage of the opportunity afforded und filled in their applica- tio forms at the meeting of the Co . lervative Association on Wed- ii(" lay evening. The following commissioners for receiving names were also mentioned at this gathering: C. Trim, Jas. Savage and P. Swensen, of Westham Island; A. de R. Taylor and A. N. York, of Ladner; Jas Kelly, of East Delta, and the members of the Municipal council. The annual meeting of the Conservative Association of Delta waa held on Wednesday, March 12, in the Municipal Hall, Ladner. .Officers for tiie ensuing year were elected, Mr. C. II. Davis being chosen president, after which Mr. F. J. MacKenzie, M.P.P., reviewed the work of the legislature during the past session, paying special attention to such legislation as affected that portion of the constituency. The meeting, which was fairly well attended, hy Mr. Geo. Dennis, the retiring president, and the minutes of the previous meeting were adopted as read by the secretary, Mr. Jas. Kelly. Officers for 1913 were elected as follows: Hon. presidents, Rt. Hon. |R. L. Borden, Sir Richard McBride, | Mr. J, D. Taylor, M.P., and Mr I Frank J. MacKenzie, M.P.P.; president, C. II.

They Had found the party In. the Upper Country to be well organized and in a healthy and prosperous condition. The retiring treasurer, Mr. II. J. Hutcherson, reported a credit balance of $15.50. Mr. MacKenzie, who was enthusiastically received, then addressed the meeting. He was glad to be once more among hiB old acquaintances, he said, and thanked them for their past support. Mr. MacKenzie firat dealt with the cancellation of the voters' list, a measure which, he said, had aroused much adverse criticism from the opposition. It was mainly due to the opposition themselves, who had during the recent campaign represented the rolls as being in a very unsatisfactory condition, that the McBride government had, wishing to be absolutely fair, taken this step. If there were another election Impending there might be some excuse for the allegations of trickery which their opponents were making, but the fact that in the ordinary course of events a period of between three and four years would elapse before Buch an occurrence plainly showed that the Government had no ulterior niotive in making this amendment !to the Electoral Act. He urged upon his supporters the necessity of registering their names and of securing those whose interest in political affairs was only lukewarm. The bills brought down during tiie past session had been, in his joplnlon, of a very Important public nature and along progressive lines. In the past legislation had largely 'dealt with corporations;, bul the measures of this session were almost entlr ly d otcd to thi impi o .c:aent I of public conditions. The Revenue Tax had been abolished as it had proven obnoxious in tliat it taxed all alike Irrespective of (Wealth. The government policy was not one of direct taxation and wherever possible the policy or obtaining revenue from natural re- ! sources was being carried out. An auditor-general had been ap- ! piilnt ed, whose signature was neces- Bary on every cheque issued by any government department, He could only be dismissed after a discussion on the floor of the house. A bill regulating pool rooms had been enacted, which it was hoped would be of great benefit. It was a well-known fact that along lines of construction pool rooms were erected which were in reality blind pigs and gambling dens and wherever a pool room was In operation outside of municipal supervision the Government had levied a tax of $100 in order that more efficient inspection might be carried on. A very important act had been passed giving more power to municipalities in undertaking loans for local Improvement purposes. Thi3 act was much simpler and yet more comprehensive than former acts In this direction. The new municipal bill was introduced into the house this session. but not passed Into law. The government deemed it wise to let the country thoroughly digest the provisions of the proposed act before the next meeting of tlle legislature. Tile recommendatlpns of the Royal Municipal Commission are embodied In the bill. One feature of the bill is worth noting, thai is tin- index Which enables any layman to locate the section referring to any particular provision. The government, wishing to make the opening and (losing hours of hotel bars uniform and Sid in c'iiii- inating joy riding and the frequent- ' Ing of road houses after the city- hotels had closed their bars, amend- ed the liquor act to provide for the 'closing of every licensed bar al 11 I o'clock p.m. except ou Saturday.

Prior to the reading of this paper. Mr. George Kennedy, chairman of the agricultural committee, presented a report detailing the deplorable condition of agriculture in this province, and pointed out the many things that entered into a solution of the problem. A royal commission had been appointed to investigate this subject, which would hold sittings at \\arious points in the province and would make recommendations calculated to assist in arriving at a solution. On the receipt of the report of this commission, there would be something to work on. ROAD IMPROVEMENT. NOTICE Progressive Association Parses Resolution Asking Provincial Government's Aid.

The rapid development of the industry is common knowledges. It has been due largely to the incensed population of the country and to the increased per capita consumption of poultry products. Now that eggs and dressed poultry are being marketed In better condition they are more popular, and there _s a larger demand for them. Prices have risen and they seem to bo rising simultaneously with the rise in popularity of the products. Within recent years Canada has been chang ed from an exporter to an importer FkAWiZfffft.Lf\\ff��' OF CALIFORNIA' that a course i:i poultry should be given embodying more advancing scientific work and along with which a liberal amount of work should be taken In other branches of agriculture, particularly horticulture, dairying and animal husbandry. Poultry raising is an Important Industry, though naturally not as significant as the other industries just mentioned. But the point to be made here is that poultry raising, which involves a few fowls on nearly every farm, is more Important than previously considered. A short comment from Professor At- wood on this point is worthy ot note. "Not only is the industry whose problems we are studying a large and important one, but poultry husbandry as carried on at the present time, with its artificial methods Presldenl Wllaon, Vice-President Thos. u.

While these deplorable conditions exist there is little hope that the profits of the producers I will be increased so that what is first needed Is to change the condl- recent years and there is behind this business no such accumulation of facts and experiences as is the case in the other branches of live Btock industry that have been carried on for a much longer time.
