Benefits for Abbotsford What has Harry Barber done for Abbotsford % This is a question that is being put to the residents of the district at this time. The requests of the Abbotsford Board of Trade were three in number: An Ixtension of Rural Mail Route Two; a Daily Service on Rural Route One; and a New Building at Hunting- don. Mr. Barber has been successful in meeting all three requests. The extension of Rural’ Route Two has brought the Sumas area closer to the business interests of this commun- ity; the Daily Service on Rural Route One has been of great value to the patrons of that route; the new build- ing at Huntingdon will be under con- struction at an early date, Put to yourself this question;— “Is this a time for impractical exper- imentation with our political struc- tures” 2 Harry Barber's service to his con- stituency is irreproachable — he has PROVEN HIMSELF WORTHY OF YOUR FURTHER ENDORSATION, —(Campaign Article 1) Only One Deer Bagged Sunday Heavy rains at the Week-end saved many a deer from slaughter, when the shooting season opened.
