to markbam township it was the first authentic record of the movement i have ever read certainly they were stouthearted men and women to leave comfortable surroundings in order to literally hew out new homes in the wilderness of upper canada imy father came from england in 137 and settled n the western part of markham township the british settlers in that district as a rule were thrifty industrious god fearing people surely the foundations of mark- ham township were well and truly laid my son and daughter and i have been here about a year and a halt the weather is more attractive than in ontario and umauitoba but around victoria mere are draw backs agriculturally the dry sea son is now on and there will likely be no rain for a couple of months this has its effects on crops and pasture thus seriously aftecting the dairying industry there fs a great amount of bloom both wild and cultivated and you can hardly look in any direction without seeing flowers of different kinds roses are very plentiful and the broom a wild plant with a showy yellow flower grows in such abundance as to be a nuisance the b c united church confer ence met in victoria last month and the rev a e mitchell d d pastor of the jjhaughnessy heights united church vancouver was elected president for 1131 he was announced to preach in the first united church on sunday may 17 and as i hadnt seen him for 55 years i made it a point to go to see and hear him as might be expected he preached an able and timely sermon on the subject of the macedonian cry come over and help us in spite of his able ad dress my mind had hard work from reverting to 1s76 wnen mrmitchell a halfgrown lad with his brothers and sisters and so many others that i have in my mind attended school at dicksons hill he was very busy i had only a short chat with him and mrs mitchell but he promised tq pay me a visit tne first time he is in victoria times are dull here and there is much unemployment like as in the other provinces the b c govern ment is in financial difficulties be sides the worry of the unemploy ment problem there is an insurrec tionary movement in the coserva- tive party against the tolmie government at the last session of the legislature in ail attempt to make revenue ana expenditure bal ance for the present year a tax of one per cent was levied on all single wageearners receiving 15 a week or upward and on all marri ed ones receiving 25 a week or up wards this has caused great re- somtiment especially in vancouver where strong demands are made for a ifrovincial convention to consider the question of conservative leader ship premier tolmie has his back to the wall fighting the insurgents bitterly what aggravates the situ ation is that a number of individu als are drawing generous pension a mr pauline 350 a month lady mcbride 2500 a year and mrs mary ellen smith 1500 a year to many this looks too much of a good thing especially when men many of them with families are unable to get work what this kind of de pression will bring rorlh it is hard to saybut these economic problems must be solved i dont think a higher protective tariff is the remedy yours sincerely w b
