Hop Trellises Fall Under Rain

Sunday's heavy downpour broke down
20 acres of hop trellis with loaded vines,
and picking was concentrated on this
area this week.” Almost 70 per cent of
the crop is now picked, and the yield is
above the average. The picking colony
number about 2,500 just now.

Defective chimneys and sparks from
chimneys cause the majority of fires at
this time of the year, and cause a very
serious loss. Stoves improperly sealed,
and carelessly-erected stove pipes are
responsible for a heavy proportion of
eestructive fires, also, so check eyery-
thing over beforeryou light up.

LAYING OUT
REIR TINERARY

ial ye are confident of
future growth even in greater proportion
than in the past, and this confidence has
resulted In Jarge Investments having been
made by settlers on the road between
‘hilliwack and Hope, of which the ex-
aniple of Mr, Barber in creating the Rest-
more lodge at an expense of more than
$100,000 is an example. Weare told that
we are being offered a choice of alter-
nate routes, It is well known that the
unitiated tourist will stick close to the
Trans Canada Highway, and we fee] just-
fied in seeking to retain that name for
the old Cariboo highway.

It has been submitted that it would be
necessary to cross two bridges on t
Fraser River. ‘The need of a second
bridge on the Fraser River near New
Westminster is conceded to be the par-
amount need of the Public Works De-
partment of this Province today, With
this bridge as well as the present Hope
bridge, under a Federal maintenance, and
being part of the Trans Canada Highway,
should be to the financial benefit of this
Province. The south road has a further
advantage In that it is closer to the huge
tourist traffic coming In from the south
at Blaine, Aldergrove and Huntingdon.
These cars will seek the Trans Canada
Highway and expect to find it part of
the great proposed Alaskan highway,
The question of cost must be held In
abeyence until it is determined what pro-
portion the Federal Government will pay.
This brings up the all-important question
of unemployment relief, which Is the ac-
celeratiing cause of the Government's de-
cision to complete the’ Trans Canada
highway now, The work on the south
side will be practically 100% hand-work
and would give Immediate relief to the

ri

unemployment situation.

‘The road on the south side can be kept
open the year around, while the other
route
which might become impagsable Isr winter
and in any event dangerous to winter
rayellers. After passing through scenic
ity of the Rockies, the tourist from
Sast is relieved to find the high-

the
way passing through the Chilliwack dist-

rict with Its well-established farms, tts
industries in fruit,
and hops, and shows the tourist a short
glimpse of one of the finest agricultural
areas In Canada.

(Not to mention the other interesting
districts of the South side of the Fraser

—Ed.)

The delegation respectfully submits
that no change should be made from
this route, and asks the Government to
designate the old Cariboo highway as the
Trans Canada Highway,
