SCOTTISH WOOLEN MILL OWNER PROPOSES TO
TRADE BOARD OBTAINS BRIDGE AND ROAD I

meats PRACTIOAL INTER

Annual meeting of the district
Board of Trade was marked by large
attendance and interesting reports.
Correspondence was read from Scot-
tish woollen mill managers, who pur-
pose establishing a plant in Abbots-
ford providing satisfactory arrange-
ments can be effected. “Abbotsford”
as a trade-mark name for Scottish
woollen goods is very appropriate"
writes the Old Country operator, who
said he was born near Abbotsford
within sight of Sir Walter Scott's
domicile. ‘Transportation cost from
Vancouver Island for an experienced
wool mill operator to enable him look
over this district to ascertain its suit-
ability for the project was pledged by
the Board, and a committee named to
meet him and go thoroughly into the
matter,

Board Again to Request
Traffic Signs

Aroused by the fatality which oc-
curred on the hill west of Abbotsford
the Board of Trade decided to again
make representations to the Village
Council and Public Works  depart-
ment to have large “stop’’ and ‘‘warn-
ing" signs placed upon the hill west
of the town, and also to have a side-
walk laid down the hill. The parti-
cular danger to school children who
now walk the highway in large num-
bers was stressed. “Unless a speed
limit is strictly observed on that ap-
proach into the town, there will be
more serious accidents’ one of the
members advised. A delegation was
named to interview the Auto Club of

Board to Meet at Peardonyille
Poplar and Bradner

In view of the discouraging atten-
dance at the meetings held in Mat-
qui, but two residents of that place
being present at the last meeting, the
Board decided to discontinue further
meetings there in the meantime.
Reeve Murphy expressed himself also
in this respect, referring to various
efforts by Sumas bodies to co-operate
with groups at Matsqui. In view of
the encouraging interest shown at
the Whatcom road meetings it was
decided to continue there, and, at
suggestion of an Aberdeen member,
it Was resolved to institute meetings
at Bradner and Poplar-Peardonville,
the first of such to be held in March.

(The, Cariboo Buckskin Sack oe Gold| dj

We heard the fame of Cariboo
In, stories we were told;

We heard the miner boasting of
His buckskin sack of gold.

We heard the fame of Barkerville,
Its street an envied mine;

We heard of rich deposits there
In ‘fifty-eight’ and “nine.”

So motored up to Cariboo
To seek the truth of those,

But did not meet a miner with
His pack of grub and clothes.

We walked the street of Stanley as
They did in days of old,

But did not see a miner with
His buckskin sack of gold.

We tramped the street of Stanley that
Is payed with weed and vine,

But failed to see the miner as
He was in “fifty-nine.”

We panned the dirt of Lightning

And turned it o'er and o’er,

But did not find the ne of gold

We walked the street 5s) “Barkerville
In nineteen-thirty-two,

But only saw the ghosts of things
The early miners knew.

We searched among the tailings that
Were washed in “sixty-three,”

But did not turn a color that
The miners failed to see.

We saw the ancient graveyard with
Its rows of pioneers,

But scarcely saw the grave of one
But died in minor years.

We spoke to some survivors of
‘the early days, and these

We found all optimistic still
Of new discoveries,

We held a nugget in our hand—
The touch of gold entranced—

A find from Williams Creek, a hoard
Cf one in years advanced.

We saw the mines of Cariboo
But still with grief untold;

We had not seen a miner with
His buckskin sack of gold.

We passed the night in Barkerville’s
Enchanted atmosphere;

Retired, the roar of Wiiliams Creek
Resounding in our ear.

We slept a night in Berens
In quarters tamed as ;

And areeme of claims aad prospects,

and
The days of “sixty-two.”
We walked the street of Barkerville
In eighteen-fifty-nine,
Aud saw the tented city and
Its street an envied mine.
For up the phantom miners rose
In costumes quaint and old,
With picks and shovels, packs and

pans,
And buckskin sacks of gold

For up the phantom miners rose
From every creek and claim;

We saw them by the thousands rise
To prove their ancient fame,

They sluiced and shoveled, picked and

panne:
In mines with gold—without;

Some taces spoke of men assured,
While others spoke a doubt,

We spoke to one; he answered not
But panned the gravel still.

We spoke again; he turned his head
And pointed to the hill.
We looked i the graveyard faced the

cree!
With headboards of his day;
We knew that underneath a mound
The ancient miner lay.
We asked another what the wealth
He hoarded up—behold!
He did not speak, but handed us
His buckskin sack of gold.
We seized the treasure; justitied—
“They have no need for
Whose body lies beneath the clay,
Whose soul beyond desire.”
We hugged the treasure to our breast,
In rapture kissed the gold;
Bewildered, wondered at the wealth
The buckskin might unfold.
The joy awoke us and we came
Out of the ancient years,
The mocking roar of Williams Creek
Still ringing in our ears.
We saw the mines of Cariboo;
We saw with joy untold.
For we had seen the mine- with
His buckskin sack of gold.
