Chillttp tfck THIRTY FIFTH YEAR, VOL. No. 44 CHILLIWACK, B.C. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1926 A YEAR C.T.HIGGINSON PIONEER CITIZEN PASSES AWAY Took a Very Active interest in He vclopment of Farming and Held Many Offices. In the death of Charles Tweed Higginson, which took place on Wednesday, Jan.

27, at the residence of his son James at Sardis, the Fraser Valley lost one of its oldest, best known and most highly respected citizens. Horn at llawksbury, on Feb. 12, 183 8, had he lived two more weeks he would have reached the advanced age of iS years. The funeral vice was held In St. John's Anglican Church, Sardis, on Friday, interment being made in the Church of England cemetery, Chilliwack.

The funeral was largely attended. The late Mr. Higginson came to Sardis on Christmas Eve, 1877, and settled on the old Blcknell farm, and where he has resided over since. Ho married Emily Selina Smith at Hudson, in April 1869, and their family consisted of three sons and a daughter. Of thi.se his wife and eldest son predeceased him.

During the Fenian raid of 1866 and 1867, Mr. Higginson was a Major in the Militia, defending the frontier at Prescott, Ont. Mr. Higginson in politics was a staunch Conservative, and in religion was a strong and generous adherent of the Anglican Church. In regard to the latter he was a church warden of St.

Thomas' twenty five years ago and was one the moving spirits in the founding of St. John's Church, Sardis, in 1910. Ho donated the property on which the church and rectory were built, and made a handsome cash donation as well. In 1923 he put in a beautiful stained glass window in memory of his wife and son. Mr.

Higginson with Mr. Horatio Webb was instrumental in the purchase of the new addition to the Anglican cemetery at Little Mountain. Amongst the many public offices which Mr. Higginson filled during the course ot his residence in the valley were: Church warden of St. Thomas' Chilliwack and St.

John'8 Sardis: president of the Chilliwack Agricultural Society; the Chilliwack Farmers' Institute; the Chilliwack Fruit Growers and the Edenbank Creamery. On the death of Mr. Kitchen, M.L.A., in 1897, he contested the riding in the Conservative interest, being defeated by a small majority by the late A. Liberal. Mr.

Higginson was an excellent farmer, and gave' generously of bin time and talent to any movemot't which would benefit the industry. He had the reputation ot being the best road builder of the early days, and the Higginson road from the Chilliwack river road to the hop yard coiner was a model in that line. Ho was a man who played well his part in life, and all through life was freely accorded the good will and esteem of his fellows, and many there are who will revere his memory. Mr. Higginson is survived by his two sons, James and William, of Sardis, and one daughter, Mrs.

Smith, of West Vancouver, and eight grand children. AVERAGE ANNUAL PRODUCTION HAS INCREASED lOOO LBS. During the past 10 years there has been an Increase in the average an nual production of cows registered in the various associations of 1000 pounds of milk and forty one pounds of butter fat, stated G. H. Thornbery of the department, of agriculture, Vic toria, who is in charge of cow testing in British Columbia, in the course of a review of the development of the work In the province, given to a record attendance of the Langley and Surrey Cow Testing Associations held at.

Langley Prairie recently. In 1921, ho said, tho average production of all cows registered in B. C. was 7500 pounds of milk and 311 pounds of fat. This is twice the average annual production in any other part of Canada.

There are now eight cow testing associations in British Columbia, of which six are in the Fraser Valley. Appeals for Co operation. Tribute to the results achieved through cow testing associations was paid by Alex. D. Paterson, M.L.A.

for Delta riding, who also asserted that there never was need for more co operation between the farmers of the province than there is today. Hej urged the milk producers to standi by the Fraser Valley Milk Produceis' Association, pointing out that the production of butter fat in the wiv ince is now one and one half million pounds greater than it was five years ago. The increase in consumption of milk and milk products has not kept pace with the increase in production and lower returns to the producer are found to result. However, he predicted a steady improvement in conditions within the next few years. Reeve D.

W. Poppy, of Langley, who has recently been re elected for the 'teenth time, urged the dairymen to support the F.V.M.P.A., which he FRASER VALLEY MEMBERS MEET AT CIIEAM The Cheam meeting of members of the F.V.M.P.A. on Thursday evening drew an attendance that packed the hall and tage to the utmost capacity, and continued from shortly after eight to well after midnight.

WANT EIRE HAZARD REMOVED The rather obvious inconsistency ot a citizen being required to comply with the exacting terms of the city building bylaw in the erection of a business block and the consequent investment of a considerable sum of money, while on the next lot is a series or assemblage of mishapen structures creating all the facilities of a dangerous fire hazard, was brought to the attention ot the city council on Monday, evening by Aid.

HOSPITAL IN HIGH STATE OF EFFICIENCY Directors Present Excellent Report for Year Seven New Members on Iionrd for 1020. Messrs. J. E. Leslie, E.

C. Smith, J. L. Stark, T. E.

Law, and Revs. M. W. Holdom and H. A.

Ireland were elected directors of tho Chilliwack Hospital for 1926, at tho annual meeting, which was fairly well attended. The city will be represented on the Board by Mayor Ashwell, the Township by Coun. J. C. Robertson, the Provincial Government by C.

J. Whittaker, and the Women's Hospital Auxiliary by the president, Mrs. L. LaPlerre and Mrs. Grossman.

The first meeting of tho new board will be held on Friday, Feb. 19, at which a chairman and other officers will be elected. Seven of the eleven members of the Board have been elected for the first time, the former members being Mayor Ashwell, Coun. Robertson, Mrs. Grossman and J.

E. Leslie. During the year three members of the Board moved from town, C. W. Muirhead, Rev.

R. M. Thompson the chairman, and Rev. H. R.

Ragg. Mrs. I). H. Day, C.

R. Denike, W. Sharp and ex Mayor Barber retiring. The latter had been a member of the Board for some ten years continuously, and during five years of that time was either chairman or acting chairman of the hospital, and his request to be allowed to retire was agreed to with regret, and a vote of appreciation for services rendered was passed. Mrs.

Day has been, with Mrs. Grossman, a valued member of the Board for a number of years, and she will be greatly missed. A vote of thanks was also passed to the Hospital Auxiliary for their continued and very valuable efforts on behalf of the hospital throughout the year. The report of the work of the Auxiliary, which has already been published, was presented to the meeting. The number of patients treatod at the hospital during the year was 486, and the hospital days numbered 5157.

The cost of running the in stitution for the year was $16,672.74 The per capita daily cost was $3,233, while the cost in 1924 was $3.31 The average per capita daily cost throughout the province for 1924 was $4.44. Patients' fees to the am ount of $9,666.05 were received. Patients' accounts owing for the year were $4,727.55. Halt of this amount is owing by those who will pay, and a good portion of the balance by others who could but who for some unaccountable reason do not respond to requests from the hospital for pay ment. The report of the board of directors to the annual meeting read in part: "Your Board was fortunate in ob taining the services of Miss J.

I. Smith as matron in June last and the institution is at present in a very high state ot efficiency. It is satisfactory to note that the Ray department has been used for 61 plates and that the operation and results have received high commendation from Ray authorities. The revenue has slightly exceeded the cost but the Board believes that much Ray work is being done elsewhere which could be handled with equally good results by our own department. The Directors feel it is opportune at this time to publicly state that the proper financing of any hospital de pends wholly upon the honest effort of all patients to pay the fees in curred for the treatment received.

All provincial and municipal as sistance is given for the sole purpose of providing treatment for those per sons whose means would not otherwise be sufficient, and such assistance should not be taken advantage of by those persons who are financially able for treatment either at once or by instalments." A complete audit of the books and accounts ot the hospital was made by Mr. Mortimer Carr. TO SELL SUMAS LAKE AREA AT EXCELLENT PRICES, SAYS HARROW VICTORIA, Jan. 28.

Wednesday, at a special meeting in Sardis Community Hall. A. H. Mercer was the only director who was able to be present. Former president J.

The admirable conductor, Mr.

Andrew Milne, A.R.C.M., had at all times his body ot singers splendidly under control, the phrasing and effects being gained withou evident effort, producing the most pleasurable and expressive results. One of the gems of. the evening was the beautiful rendition of Handel's "Where'er You Walk," with the obligato most, ap pealingly sung by Mr. Milne. The chorus numbers, which included "The Old Road" (J.

Prindle Scott); "Hail to Our Native Land" (Verdi); "Skye Boat Song" (arrang by Mark Andrews); "The Sailor's Grave" (Sullivan); "I Would I Were" (Lon donderry Air, sung unaccompanied); "Where'er You Walk" (Handel); "Land ot the Leal" (arranged by H.

Ernest Wood was heard to advantage in "My Open Fire" and "Morning," and Russel Hawes in "A Dream Love" and "My Star Forever." It was a great pleasure for Chilliwack to hear Jack Hamilton in song, many here having looked forward to hearing this singer for some time, claiming him fir at least a little bit its own. In his selections "When the Bell in the Lighthouse Rings" and "Bells of the Sea" he gave evident enjoyment to his audience. Walter Wright wis one of the most popular singers of the evening, his easy, happy maimer ana fresh, virile and expressive bass voice making him a great favorite.

His selections were "The Horn" "Pretty Polly Oliver' 'and "Auld John Kradlam. John Jenkinson provided "Sussex by the Sea" and an amusing encore number, J. H. Alexander and F. M.

Watts giving the popular Tos ti's "Goodbye." G. Crann introduced an informal note into the evening's entertainment by his songs and stories. One would not, nor could not overlook the splendid assistance iven the choir and the soloists the accompaniments of Mr. Maurice Taylor, whose playing was everything that couid be desired on all oc f.sions. The delightful evening end by every one feeling most at home ith their visitors, and a desire zo have thm return at sonic future date not too far removed.

Principal V. W. Mulvin of Central School, in submitting a list ot promotions which took effect on Monday, that the term Just concluded has been satisfactory in spite of the fact that the school was closed owing to an outbreak of smallpox, and followed by the more recent epidemic ot "flu." The co operation of the parents with the school was noticeable in many instances and has been productive of good results. One hundred per cent, co operation should be Chil liwack's aim. Closer home supervision of 'teen age girls and boys would in some cases be beneficial.

The beneficial results of the Girl Guide and Scout movement are ba ginning to manifest themselves in the school. These movements are worthy of the support ot every adult in the district. The health of the school as evi denced by the recent examination is normal, save for the prevalence goitre which is somewhat alarming. This matter is having the attention of the Board. In athletics the Central School have done well, and the football team are likely holders of the H.

J. Bar ber Shield for the first year in the public school league. The school spirit is worthy of men tion, the esprit de corps and devo tion to duty of the staff being excep tional.
