The Chilliwack Progress from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada • Page 4

PRISTED BV THE Progress Printing Publishing (Limited.) T. Collins, Manager Editor. CHILLI WACK, APRIL 18, 1894. Although the present adininistra 1 tiou have been accused of wrong doing and of leaving undone much that should have been done, a careful following of the various Actsaud amendments to Acts introduced and passed during the session just closed goes fur to refute the assertion made by the Opposition journals and members as to carelessness and corruption on the part of the Government, and should be convincing proof to all reasonable persons that they have as far as mcaus would permit, dona their best for the general benefit and advaucc menl of the Proviucc, and in bo doing have distributed the expenditure fairly and evenly as practicable throughout the varijus districts aud settlements. Whatever doubts may have been entertained as to the bona fides of the Premier iu his promises made during his trips through the Province, certain it is that he has redeemed them to the utmost of his ability, aud we believe much to the surprise of hit opponents.

The re distribution bill, so far as we can see, lias been drawn up as fairly aud equably as the present irregular settlement of tho country would permit, and the plan of rep. by pop. consistently carried out. Liberal assistance has Leen guar anteed to propose railroads, a matter in which Chilliwack has considerable interest, and which i ill have the effect of giving it a direct mcaus of con nection which is much needed, aud of opening up markets for tho produce of this fertile district that will place Tinder cultivation thousands of acres of land that now lies uncultivated for want of an outlet for its produce. These are facts to be noted, and considered by the people in view of the forthcoming election and the Government that has thus kept their promises, and shown such a sincere desire to distribute the public funds so ually throughout tho Province, should receive a support that will enable them to perfect the good works undertaken, and to feel that their efforts have been rightly appreciated by the country.

Who Shall He be CHOUSING) A REPEESENTATIVE LOCAL UOUoK The meeting of the delegates appointed at a meeting of the Chilliwack Political Liberal Association held on the 5th took place iu Henderson's Hall on 'Wednesday evening last the following answering to the roll call J. L. Atkinson, G. R. Ashwell, J.

Messrs. James Mercer aud A. C. Wells were not prcseut. The delegates hd been appoiuted for the purpose of choosing a representative to tho'Loial Legislature.

Besides these there were about thirty other supporters of tho party present. Mr. J. 0. Henderson was moved to the chair, aud Mi.

Chadsey acted as secretary. The preliminary proceedings hav ing been gone through, the chairman explained ibe rcasou'of the gathering. and asked the delegates to adopt a mode of action to tho cud of appoint a man to represent them, ana pointed out the, advisability of the vote being unanimous, and the necessity of a thorough support to the man chosen. Good sensible speeches were roado by a number of the delegates as to the aualincatious and chances of cer tain gentlemen, and it finally res fd to take a ballot on tlio matter There were fifteou ballots cast, which resulted as follows For D. McGilli vray 7, S.

A. Cawley 8 the chair man not voting. It was then suggested that those present be permitted to speak, wbich was acquiesced in, and the meeting resolved into an open one. it was also suggested tuat the two nominees be requested to speak, but this was negatived, and the views and suggestions of the various delegates were voiced, the feeling expressed be ing one of respect and confidence iu each of the nom niees by all the speak ers. but the question of as to wbich was the strongest mm being tho diffi cnlty to be overcome.

It was resolved that the chairman boing a delegate should cast his vote a one with the other delegates, and second ballot being taken resulted in Mr. McGilhvray receiving 9 and Mr Cawley 7. The chairman then declar ed the former gentleman duly nom inated, and urged the necessity of unanimous action. The meeting closed at 9:15 with a vote of thanks to the chairman, and another to those who had attended tl meeting. The meeting wai an extremely orderly and well oonductol one, the speeches, although tshoit, being as a rule pithy, sensible, and to the pniut.

the best of feelings prnvailing the delegates, natwithstaud ae difference expressed as to the ot the nominees. The House Prorogued. THE EIXTH LEGISLATURE A TniNO 0 TUB FAST. The fourth and last session of the sixth Local Parhamout was prorogued on Weduesday afternoon last. There was a largo gathering of spectators at the House, and the proceedings were very lively.

After the bills passed in this session had been read the Lieutenant Governor read the following address LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR bPEECH. Mr. Speaker aud gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly I thank vou for the care and deli beration with which you havo dis charged the duties that have devolved upon you during the session. The bills which you have passed making fnrthor provision with respect to tho several railway enterprises to wards which aid was granted at your last session will, I hope, bo found not only to secure the completion aud operation of these important undertakings, but also to attain this desirable end without imposing any undue burden upon the country. The same result will also, I trust, be attained from the provision now tuado with regard tj the Fraser river bridge.

The measure which you have adopt ed to facilitate tho drainage, dyking, and irrigation of lauds will, I think, result in bringing under cultivation large areas of rich laud, hitherto unproductive, and the agricultural industries of tho Province will also be fostered by the bills dealing respec tively with Dairying, the Board of Horticulture, and the Department of Agriculture. The various amendments which yon have made to tho laws of property, affecting not only the business com innuity, but private individuals, are, I believe, founded on the principles ot natural equity, aud the alterations in and provision tor carrying out the details of civil procedure in the courts will, I trust, be louud to relieve suitors and others from considerable inconvenience. The basis of representation in the Legislative Assembly which you have established and the amendments which you have made to the law dealing with electors and elections, will commend thomselves to the country at large. I thank you for the supplies wbich you have voted for the public service. Care will be taken that they are applied iu the manner by which its efficiency will be the most increased.

In taking leave of you, permit me to express the desire that; you may experience a proFperous year, and tuat your labors out of ssssion may be as useful and personally beneficial as they Jiave during your attendance in these halls been to the Province. After this the Hon. Col. Baker, as Provincial Secretary, declared the House prorogued and the ceremony was Iu all 90 bills were introduced this rssed.

The board adjourned to meet again at 1 o'clock on the 21st inst. The Coming: Fruit Grower. A prominent wiiter on the fruit industry says that the coming fruit grower is on the way. He is the ntw school fruit grower he is cutting Iose from old ways, such as were brought from the older settled countries of Europe. He is adopting and briugiag forth new ideas he Uas the courage of hi convictions.

No more same old thing for him. He rea Is the books and papers on horticulture everv sensible man does, and he is a sensible mau but ho 6ees plainly that books" are wntteu from a one man's point of view and are not adapt ed to his special location. The coming fruit grower will be a man who thinks. Iu many instances he thiuics now, because at one time in his life he was a merchant. That force of thought which gave him sue cess in mercantile lifelib now applies to tree growing and fruit producing.

He proves to his neighbor who does not thiuk that thought is a proStable thing in fruit raising, just the same as it was in keeping store. It will uot be long before the coming fruit grower will devote his entiro thought aud energy to raisin? one kind of fruit. He will pursue special Hues like the successful dairyman, horse raiser, hog raiser and the poultry fancier. There will be no "Ecrubs" iu his orchard his trees will all look thrifty, and he will see to it they are kept so. He will help those np that get behind.

We learn that tho Fraser Valley Canning company do not intend run niug their cannery this year. This is a serious matter to those who are devoting themselves to the culture of fruit, and whose roliance for a market is largely invested in this cannery. It is suggested that those interested should form an association and continue the business. We the cannery can be obtained, and also cation to the Chief Commissioner of! a competent man to conduct it. Lands and Works fr our share of said appropriation, and also inform him the number on our assessment roll is 020, and assessd value." A vote of thanks was tendered Mr.
