No. 48 LANGLEY PRAIRIE, B.C., MAY 10, .1921. Vol. II. ! V. rt ARRANGING FOR CHAUTAUQUA WEEK Local Committee in Charge is Busy Getting Ready for Big Crowds During the Festival b a us In keeping with the progress that has been in evidence in Langley Prairie of late,. another evidence of this is the action taken by its leading citizens in securing the Chatauqua people to make this town one of their show places. The dates fixed on for here is May 23 to 28 inclusive, and there is no doubt it will be the means of drawing large crowds from the entire valley, who will thus avail themselves of the oppor tunity to enjoy a week of clean, healthy entertainment of a highly educational nature, put on by artists in their various lines. The local committee in charge of the arrangenemts is composed of Messrs. J. H. Bailey (president), Dr. J. F. Woods, N. K. Terpstra, J. M. Shales, R. McLeod. P. Y. Porter, Chas. Gal- braith, Jos. Donnelly, Z. Michaiid, C. Logan, D. J. Enright, H. J. deCanon- ville, A. C. McNab, A. C. DesBrisay, . F. H. Turner, N. C. Abercrombie. They met on Monday evening and from the enthusiasm shown no stone is being . left unturned to launch a campaign that will get the people out. Tickets are selling rapidly and there is keen rivsdry between the committee to see 4'who can dispose of the largest number. Be sure your ticket is stamped Langley Prairie. Agnes C. Lout. One of the main attractions at the Chatauqua will be the lectures of Agnes C. Laut, well known as the author of "Canadian Commonwealth" and "Canada at the Cross Roads." Pitt Parker, the crayon wizard, is a whole show in himself, and one young admirer of Mr. Parker fittingly describes his feelings on seeing this great cartoonist: "You make me laff I newer rored so hard in my life as as I did at yore picture of the fellow' hunting the skunk that he thot was a rabit. Those jokes was so funny they tickled every body 2 deth and pa laffed so hard he swal- lered his gum he says you. was the best traction . of the entire Shtagua corase cause you you muster had monkey glands put in lately 2 put snap in yer funny bone an' loosen up yer„dia- fragham but pa was just joking Ma liked yore show fine and she cried a little at yore pome "We'll Understand." Once I laffed right out loud and pa says 'shet up/ but he giv me a nickkel when we got home bcaus I drew sum picturs like yours,I am goin' 2 grate cartunist lik you sumday. "If y'ou ever come back. here fellers what is imitatin you wil pay fer the biggest feed youve had since the high cost of ivin' has made eatin' one of our pathetick amusements." Lovers of good music are promised a rare treat, as the Chautauqua family carry some high class musicians, their symphony being especially excellent, playing the wonderful Tschaikowsky numbers and an especial sketch containing part, of the "Godmark Rustic Wedding." You will have an opportunity to hear the ballet music from Faust and other operatic selections from such old masters as Gounod, Goldmark, Schumann, Schubert Tschaikowsky and Dvorak, throughout the programme is woven some of Mr. Lieurance's wonderful Indian songs effectively arranged for the sumphony Among them might be mentioned "By the Waters of Minnetonka." See the Sentinel next week for the full programme, commencing Monday, May 23rd Committees Report Progress. Another well attended meeting was held at the Langley Prairie Hotel on Friday night when the various committees reported satisfactory progress all along the line. It was decided to hold the Chautauqua carnival on Mr, J. Logan's property on the Yhle road, just west of the B. C. E. R. tracks. Here the big tent will be pitched and the refreshment boots erected, the concessions for which will be given to strictly local people. Committees will be appointed in the various centres throughout the municipality and in Surrey to dispose of tickets and arrange for transportation The publicity committee are offering cash prizeB aggregating (15 to be divided between the senior and junior school children for the best assay on "The Benefits Derived from Chautauqua." To compete you mest be the possessor of an admission ticket and confine yourself to not more than 250 works. The prize winning assay will be published in The Sentinel. It was decided to issue a Langley Prairie souvenir for the occasion, containing a coudensed history of the town with appropriate illustrations. It will also contain the week's Chautauqua and will be distributed free. Clean Up Campaign. And the committee decided to stage a "clean up" week in the town, starting Monday, May 16, and everyone is asked to lend a hand in putting their premises in spick and span shape. It helps to leave a favorable impression in the minds of visitors. So clean up's the word. The committees will meet again tonight, when a representative of the Women's Institute will be present, New Auctioneering Firm. Messrs. Harris & Bennett, is the name of a new firm that has been established to carry on an auctioneering business in the valley, with headquarters at Grain Growers building at Langley Prairie.

At the Longley Municipal Council meeting on Saturday- last a vote of $500 was made in favor of the Agricultural Society to assist them in preparing and staging a district exhibit at the Provincial Exhibition at New Westminster. A delegation from the Agricultural Society were present to press their case for financial assistance, and they were ably assisted by Messrs Dr. J. G MacKay, Ed. Goulet, Tom Trapp and Manager E. D. MacKenzie, of the provincial fair management. The great advantages of Langley from such an exhibit was ably dealt with, and it is now up to the people of Langley to see to it that a prize- winning collection of products .is gathered together, regaining ' for this district the high distinction of being the banner municipality agriculturally in British- Columbia ~ Permission to hold a tag day on Thursday, May 12th, in aid of the Royal Columbia Hospital, New Westminster, was granted the Fort Langley Women's Auxiliary. The sum of (150 granted in aid of the memorial services held on Sunday, 24th inst, was ordered to be paid. For the sum of $190, a contract to grade 900 feet of the Coghland Road, was awarded to Eckert and Ross. Coun. Taylor related some humorous situations arising from the working of the recently passed pound by-law, which by the way, is not being any too well observed. Fire permits will be issued in accordance with arrangements with the fitt ranger. A letter from the Minister of Public Works relating to the proposed classification of the Yale road, left some doubt in the minds of the Reeve and Council. The Reeve stated that he had understood from the Government and the local member, Mr. Paterson, that the Yale road was to be solely maintained by the Government, and he personally had impressed this view upon the powers that be at Victoria. The Councilors took the view that it shoud be in the same cass as the Pacific Highway. The communication was finally laid on the table, pending an interview with Mr. Paterson, which will be had as soon as possible. For its share of the expenses of the Union of B. C.'s parliamentary agent in opposing the increase in telephone rates at Ottawa hearing of the commission, a sum of $25 was voted. Coun. Goldsmith was authorized to look into the request of Mr. T. Smith for road connection with his property near the Coghlan road. - _ -■_ . . *~-"- IT- ' __ THE VALLEY SENTINEL if. ■ m -—mi m mm ■-' n ll m ■ ■ M l Langley Prairie General Store r Groceries, Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes Hardware. i A.

That the Oriental question, particularly reltaing to Chinese, has assumed alarming proportions in and around here, was made evident at a meeting on Monday night Strong protests was voiced by several speakers against the evils of Chinese settlement here and elsewhere, and the attention of the various Governments will be drawn to the sistuation, with a view to putting a stop to it as soon as possible. Various complaints have been made by ladies .travelling on the B. C. E. R. to and from New Westminster, especially on Saturday eveningh, against the jostlings of these ill-mannered gentry in getting on and off the cars, and on being forced to stand while they make themselves comfortable in the seats. They are getting control of land alongside the white settlers and by their mode of living and actions making life unbearable in many instances. Some drastic action is necessary to put a stop to it. Facts concerning this menace in Surrey are being gathered by Mr. N. F. Kendall, of the Board of Trade, and Mr. F. J. Kellaway, secretary of the United Farmers' and Potato ' Growers' Associations, and will be presented to the forthcoming Imperial Conference in London, England. When the School Board met on Saturday night they were faced with a large deputation of ratepayers praying that the vexed question of ample school accommodation be again taken up with the Council, with a view to obtaining the necessary money to remedy the matter. Mr. Hugh, who headed the delegation, said the question had been discussed with the Minister of Education, and a ruling had been given that an amended by-law could be submitted to the people, upon petition, and he forthwith presented same. The trustees finally decided to ask the Council to submit another by-law to raise $27,000, with the change that the High School be built at Cloverdale, instead of at Surrey Centre. To overcome the crowding at the Strawberry Hill school, the Delta school trustees will be asked to take care of the overflow. When the local police force get their new uniforms they will be more readily recognized. For selling liquor H Siedleman was last week fined $300. Also Sit Lung, proprietor of an opium joint at McLennan, was forced to part with a much coveted 200 bucks. The Gun Club are preparing for their big shoot on May 24th, when outside clubs are coming to try their skill with the local sharpshotters. Arrangements are in the capable hands of Messrs. W. Hassard, Joe Boothroyd, and N. F Kendall. To stimulate interest in the inter- school competitions at the annual Surrey Exhibition, Coun. Joe Brown has offered the handsome sum of $50 towards a cup and prizes Arrangements for the unveiling ceremony to be held here on Sunday', May 22nd, are going on apace, and a large turnout is anticipated by soldiers and civilians. The granite slab will be laid by Messrs. Patterson, Chandler and Stevens, of Vancouver, who will inscribe thereon the* names of Surrey's honored dead. The height of the monument will be 9 feet, when all is completed, and on top of it will be mounted the German gun captured by the 47th Battalion on October 27, 1918. The 47th Battalion is. sacred to New Westminster, but it is also very closely associated with the Fraser Valley in general TYNEHEAD. The board of managers of the Tyne- head Presbyterian Church will hold a conecert and supper in the Public Hall, Tynehead, May 10th The musical programme will be in charge of the Owen orchestra from Cloverdale.

Since the closing of the road running through the Timms Market Gardens by the new manager, settlers have been obliged to go to Hunter station to get to Laiigley Prairie. Those using the road in the past were so negligent in replacing the bars that cattle came in and did hundreds of dollars worth of damage to ibe crops and by breaking glass. A movement is on foot to continue the road running parallel to the railway traek through the grounds of E. J. Timms and thus save the long detour. on behalf of the gentlemen who interview the Council, and he told of the success of their visit, that the Council had granted them $500, $250 to be available at once.
