The Chilliwack Progress from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada • Page 5

jCocal. Mr. Gowan, Sardis, spent a few days in Vancouver last week. The Rev. R.

J. Douglas, of Cooke's church, attended a meeting of the Presbytery at New Westminster last week. Mrs. C. W.

West, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Hulbert, at Sardis, left for her home in Victoria on Thursday. Ex Aid. George Adams, of New Westminster, was in the city a couple of days last week. Mr.

Adams has property interests here that calls for his attention sometimes. George McKeever left last week for Spenre's Bridge, where he has joined a C. P. R. survey party, under A.

E. Sharp. He will be absent from the city ior about nine months. P. W.

Renworth, traveller for the Amos Holden Shoe Company, was a visitor in the valley on Wednesday. He made only a flying visit this time pushing the sale of the Granby Rubber Company's ware. Mr. D. B.

Hall received word on Friday that his daughter Bertha, who is attending a school in Victoria, was taken ill with scarlet fever. No unnecessary cause for alarm was entertained however, as the patient was in good hands and receiving good nursing. Omar Weeks, who has been connected with the Club Building bar ber shop the past two years, has severed this connection and is start ing up a barberina business of his own. lie has secured a lease of on of the store buildings in the New Westminster Trust block, and is having it fitted up in first class style for his purpose. Miss Blanche Topley has accepted the position as clerk and assistant in the post office.

The business of the office has increased to such proportions in the past couple of years that the office staff has had to be doubled to what it was at that time. Things are becoming pretty well crowded In the present office, and Mr. Mellard and his courteous assistants are doing nobly under the circumstances to meet the wants of the people, and it is hoped before another year they may have larger and more commodious quarters to work In. The Methodists of Chilliwack have launched out on an entirely new de parture in Methodist enterprise. The Chilliwack Methodist Association has been organized for the purpose of assisting Methodist people in the East or elsewhere, who may be thinking of coming to British Columbia to obtain reliable Information concerning the Chilliwack valley, and to aid them should they come west, to comfort ably settle in their new home.

The secretary, the Rev. E. Manuel, has sent out a letter to this effect, with a compilation of facts as to the city and disrict. The 17th of March is to be fittingly observed by the members of the Cheam Methodist church, by the holding of a St. Patrick's entertain ment in their church on th" evening of that day.

The programme will be varied, but in every way in keeping with the festivities of the hour. As Cheam has ahvays been noted for their good things, particularly in the line of tea meetings and church entertainments, it can fully be expected with a staunch son of Erin at the head of the affairs, that this one will be equal to the best and perhaps a little bit beter. McManus and White's moving picture show is being well patronized by the public since they recommenced them. Almost every night the opera house, in which they ere held, is fairly well filled by an orderly and enthusiastic audience, who fully enjoy the pictures shown. The pictures are always clean, wholesome and instructive, and the songs catchy and of the newest.

Mr. Arthur White, a brother of one of the firm that is conducting the show, has been engaged to sing, and his rendition of the songs are pleasing indeed. As soon as the new Jackman block Is completed, which is expected in a very few days, McManus and White will move their picture machine to it, and the convenience of having the show on the ground floor should appeal much "better to the public. Mr. T.

J. Polly, who has been connected with the real estate firm of Cawley Cruickshank, is severing that connection about the middle of the month and opening up business in the same line for himself. He has secured a lease of the office building. in the Rose block, and now used by W. A.

Rose and has besides pur chased the real estate and insurance of Mr. Rose, thus securing commer cial connection with some of the best insurance and loan compnnies in the province. Mr. Polly during his year's connection with Messrs. Cawley Cruickshank has made himself gen erallv well liked, proving himself to be a capable and painstaking bus! noss man.

His securing for himself of Mr. Rose's business will place him on a level with the other real estate firms, and insure him a good share of the business of the valley. Mrs. G. R.

Ashwell left Friday to visit her daughter, Mrs. N. Allen, Vancouver. Mrs. H.

Hulbert, Sardis, returned home on Monday, after spending a month in Vancouver visiting friends. Miss Carrie Humphre returned Friday from San Francisco, where she has been spending the winter with her sister, Mrs. Miller. A party of Canadian Northern surveyors are at work on a second survey through the valley. The party is now working westward from Rose dale.

Frank Brennan, of the Hotel Royal, was in New Westminster last week attending the funeral of his sister, who died at Sierra Madre, California, on February 23. The Rev. J. K. Wright, of Vancouver, has resigned his pastorate of Chalmer's church in that city and accepted a position as district secretary for British Columbia of the Canadian Bible Society.

Mr. R. II. Cairns, principal of the Coqualeetza Institute, Sardis, left on Thursday as a provincial representative at the Dominion Council of the Royal Templars of Temperance, which meets in Hamilton, Ont, on Tuesday, March 15. i The members of the Independent Order of Foresters are giving a social dance in their hall, Westminster street, on Friday evening.

Invitations have been issued to about 150 couples which will be about sufficient for the caDacitv of the hall. The Foresters intend holding a series of dances, of which this one is the first. Miss Maud Cawley returned home on Friday from a visit of a month's duration with friends in Vernon. The trin from Vernon to Chilliwack re quired four days to accomplish it, owing to repeated hold ups on the C. P.

R. through snowslides in the mountains. Fortunately no accidents were recorded as a result of the slides and washouts. The congregation of Cooke's church is making extensive repairs to the manse. The building which was built many years ago is being thoroughly renovated and modern conveniences installed at a cost of about $500.

Circular letters have been addressed to every member and adherent of the church asking for donations to defray the expense, and these so far have met with liberal response. During the present month Miss Bacon, of Nelson, president of the Asspmblv of the Daughters of Re bekah for British Columbia, is netted to visit all of the lodges in Lower British Columbia. She will be in Vnnoonver on March 16. and in New Westminster on March 17. Dur ing the latter part of the month she will be accompanied by a large num ber of the Rebekahs of New West minster, who will assist her in con ferring the degrees.

It is expected that new lodges of this degree will also be formed at Eburpe and Van couver. S. A. Parson, the Fit Rite Clothier, has moved his place of business from the Bank of Montreal block to the Kpw Westminster Trust building on the corner of Wellington and West minster streets. Mr.

Parson has one of the stores on Wellington street west of the stair entrance leased for a term of years, and is having it fitted up in the most modern and convenient manner for his clothing and haberdashery. Just at present Mr. Parson is upset through the hurry of moving, but In a few days' time and when the concrete side walk has been completed in front of the block, he will be in better shape than ever to handle the trade that Is sure to follow him to his new premises. S. R.

Gibson came down from Princeton a few weeks ago and has been spending the time since in visiting his friends in the city and in the country. He is very optimistic as to the future of Princeton and the Simll kameen valley in general. Since the completion of the Great Northern Railway Into the town there has been a marked revival of the mining interests, and it is becoming almost impossible to keep up with the demand for houses and lodging for the incoming prospectors and investors. Up in that country coal is one of the principal products, and when the V. V.

E. is completed through to the coast, the price of coal to the consumers here should be considerably reduced. Mr. Gibson does not think, but that the Jim Hill people Intend putting through the road to the coast, but he would not care to gamble on the time they may take in completing it. AUCTION SALE Mr.
