The Associated Board of Trade of the Fraser Valley, at the annual meeting held in New Westminster, last week in the council chamber endorsed the request that tho Pitt River Road and the Dewdney Trunk road between Port Coquitmni and Agassiz be declared a primary highway, asked the government to construct a lateral road leading from the Yale road near Norton station on the Chilliwack line of the B. C-.'E. R. across' the Sumas Prairie, and urged an investigation into the mail delivery service at several points in the Fraser Valley. Mr. N Hill, Abbotsford, was elected president, while Mr. N. Kendall, Cloverdale, succeeds Mr H. Keary- as secretary, the latter stating his inability to continue the ou'ice owing to lack of time. Mr. J. Brydges, Abbotsford, was elected tvrce-president, the executive and members consisting of the president and secretary of ea������h local board of trade affiliated with the parent body. Aid. R. C. and Mr. S. H sponsored the resolution advocating the Pitt River road being declared a primary one, Mr. Galer stating that Hon. Dr. Sutherland, minister of public works, had intimated a chauge in the Highway Act, while Mr. Crosby stated that in view of the immigration policy recently initiated and the prospect of settlers .11 riving in British Columbia, the need of such a road was essential to increased farm production. Complaints as regard the mail service in the Valley, were made by Mr. P. H. Dawson, Huntingdon, who stated that a morning collection and transportation by the B.C.E.R. morning train from Chilliwack would allow delivery to be made in New Westminster and Vancouver the same afternoon.- Mr. Brydges. supporting the Sumas resident, stated that although the latter point was but three and a half miles from Ab- bosford, a-letter mailed from the latter point had first to go to Vancouver, then to Seattle and brought from the American city to Suiruib Similar instances were stated to be in force at Murrayville, and Langley Prairie. Residents found--it rnnro practible to either drive or walk to the Langley seat of government and deliver a letter personally rather than trust to the mails. Each local board of trade will be asked to report on the postal service to Mr. Kendall who will in turn compile a full report for the proper authorities. Mr. David Whiteside, -M. L. A. made a brief address on the operations recently commenced by the provincial government at Nicomen Island, which will lead to the Island be'ng protected from the annual floods, t The local member of the provincial legislature expressed his hope that the differences between Victoria and Ottawa had been overcome. A resolution, introduced by the Huntingdon board of trade, petitioning the provincial government to declare the Vye road in Sumas municipality as being part of the Yale road and inter-provincial highway instead of the Delair . road, was thought to be more a matter for the ' ^CcmTinued on Page Four) Recta mat ion Sch cine Brought to Success The unqualified .success .of ��������� the Sumas Reclamation Scheme, tho stupendous task of the contractors in bringing about this success, the part thai the human element played in the work,' especially during the winter months, and how it is proposed to dispose of the lands in thj area secured from the Federal authorities fo.r the nominal sum of one dollar, were referred to in the course of an address given by Hon, E. D. Barrow, provincial minister of ���������< gri- culture at the complimentary banquet tendered him and the vis':ing members of the Associated Boards of Trade of the Fraser Valley by the New Westminster Board in the St. At the outset of his address, Mr. Barrow declared that at the, present time the work has progressed to a point where ther is no longer any doubt of the feasibility or success of the scheme, for at the present rime there is already sufficient protection to enable the farmers in the area to crop their lands. Previously, practically all of this hind was uader feet of water for during the aunual spring freshet period. But this year, with the dyking system partially completed, the farmers are breaking soil for the first time in history, marking the beginning of a new era for the Vedder River Valley. In view of the fact that the work was carried out by the government, which necessitated the successful completion of the scheme if a return of the huge expenditure involved was to be realized, the main objective was to afford the area a measure of protection never before afforded any district in the Feasor Valley. As a result huge dykes of immense width and construction, three feet higher than, the point reached by_ the flood waters or 1894���������the greatest flood in the history of the province���������wore constructed. In the Fraser Valley, stated the minister, about 75 per cent, of the most arable land in the Valley is protected by a dyking system, and each year during the freshet, headlines in the press, proebaim the fact that one' or other of the particular areas are in imminent danger of flooding through the bursting ol* the dyke. But with the Sumas area, the great effort has been to avoid any such "occurrence;- and the feeling is that at. no time will the farmers be jeopardized by the flood "waters. "When the system is entirely completed." he asserted, "Sumas Prairie will boast of'a system of dykes stronger than at any point in the province or on the whole Pacific Coast." The cost of reclaiming the area has been charged against the lands in the area, and all of the mono/ expended will be returnable, the entire scheme being in the nature"of an'investment to develop the agricultural resources of the province. In addition to the 21.000 acres of privately "owned land, there is also a. total of about. 1 2.000 acres held by the provincial government. Of this latter area, about 2000 acres wi'l be taken un with roads and other features, leaving 10,000 acres to be s������lf!- ' , ,. Referrine; to the method of d<s- of these lands.

The accident occurred on December 14 last, during the open season for deer, in the timber between Huntingdon and Peardonville. Cox, who had been following a deer's track for several hours through the thick underbrush, the ground covered with snow, saw an object about seventy yards' away. A momentary glimpse showed this to be of the same color as deer, and. according to Cox, if walked like lhat animal. I-To fired in the direction where the object disappeared. A shout followed, and Cox found Pras- iloski writhing on the ground, the bullet having penetrated his arm and body. The wounded man was carried to a farm house some miles distant, and was later taken in a wagon to a hospital at Sumas. ���������"The defendant, having in possession a rifle for hunting purposes, was required to use consequent caution," said Mr. Justice Macdonald.

' II. is ���������not. a recent conversion, although prominently brought to the fore recently by the fight, that Premier Oliver is apparently making. ' Bui. it would appear.that at the extreme eastern end of the dominion there is also grievance, voiced by H.W. Corning, Conservative member Cor,,Yarmouth. I lis motion before the legislature of Nova Scotia was defeated by 1.-1 to 4 that people of Nova Sooth stand by Confederation and exert their might in obtaining cheaper | uwprovincial transportation in developing the foreign trade of Canada through Canadian Atlantic ports: Mr. Corning stated that "members of this House must admit they hove heard the opinion expressed in sound business circles that not only n- private business handicapped, but that the very economic position and solvency of the province is threatened by confederation and by the in different and unsympathetic attitude of our provincial partners in the Dominion."

Yet he finds Americans wasting- dollars in wild orgio of spendthrift :iM.ies. Old man Koo-Aye is good, positively good.

Whatever else we may say of Coue, the eminent French faddist, he is a money-maker and a superb advertiser. He was thoroughly familiar with dementia ' Americana��������� that is to say their, peculiar,form ,of hysterical emotionalism and {heir habit of following every half-baked theory announced in the most glaring oi headlines���������before he left La- Belle France.

Vancouver's mayor loves frees. In Kamloops there will bo no frees purchased by the city for planting on the boulevards outside the residences' of those who wish them for bcautificalion purposes. This decision was given a few evening!? ago at the council meeting.' In Merritt $70 was refused by lho city council for trees' to be purchased to be planted along the school grounds'. The grounds are 45 0 feet long and it was the intention to pro- , tect the trees with a low fence. ' It was alsa intended to put loam a- round the trees. In Mission City the W. 1. several years ago planted young maples along Grand Avenue. The trees are being looked after and in years to come will undoubtedly enhance the beauty of that street.

Here are some figures that are astonishing, and yet from personal knowledge you and I know them to be true. In 1904 a certain automobile man- ufacurer built and sold 3 7 two-cylinder automobiles.; The price of each was $1230. In 1915 the same concern built and sold more than 45,- 000 six-cylinder automobiles and the price of each was $9 50. What created the demand and why was the price reduced? The answer to both questions is���������-advertising. Who paid for the advertising? The manufacturer didn't pay for it because he received a great deal better car -for his $950 than he did vertising game. And what did Coue see over in America? Waiving his surprise at beholding pajama-clad men running up and down Pullman car aisles, he beheld the people as a struggling ant heap of money-mad wretches, crazy as March hares, witho.ut deliberation, without poise, without any conception of life in its wider meanings���������but just lunatics' who do everything for the dollar, nothing for any higher motive. He found man; noble exceptions to this charge, undoubtedly���������-but not too many. At the sign of the dollar he beheld all Americans bowing in adoration. No Parsee sun-worshipper, no Mussulman���������in short no whirling dervish under any flag or religion showed'greater obsession, greater blindness of worship than the American renders unto "the wheels marked E Pluribus Unum." If you do not know what that means, look at the inscription (above the stern faced woman labelled "Liberty") on any American silver dollar you may happen to see or possess. Above the eagle on the reverse side you will behold a sentiment which Koo-Aye pronounces a lie. It runs "In God Wo Trust." Unless the thing on which the sen '-sent is written be the Ameri- car Jod it is a falsehood he thinks. ft X)-Aye sees nobody^ pausing to thint about God, but he sees multitudes who mumble prayers in mad haste, then rush off again in the chase for more silver wheels. It must be confessed that old man Koo-Aye is an efficient diagnostician, which, is the word applied by doctors to one of their own ilk who can tell what is wrong with a patient. Koo-Aye is a specialist���������he ought to call himself an insanity doctor��������� l 1* JL.U TJJ * ��������� ^ w . Then who did pay for it ? Echo answers' "who?" It does take a lot of money to advertise; but advertising creates, a demand. The filling of that demand necessitates quantity ' production. Quantity production is the cheapest means' of reducing cost -."without decreasing quality. ' When quantity ���������production ;'is',.required, the saving x because of it is more than enough to pay -for'.''the advertising which' is creating .tho demand. Instead of the consumer being required to .pay for the advertising, he actually saves money, because he can buy advertised articles for less than he would have to pay for the same thing made in small qantity. So well-advertised merhandise is generally the best "buy." More quality and quantity can be obtained by the purchaser for less money '.'.when, he orders well-advertised goods. Does this apply in the case of purchases of machinery, tools', utensils and farm supplies? It does, most assuredly. That is one of the reasons why it pays a man to read the advertisements in the Fraser Valley Record, and to meet his needs by pui chasing advertised products. When a man goes to a ' bank to borrow money the bank wants to know first whether or not he is hon est.

The road, which was built by th/j engineering division of the Canadian National Parks Branch, is important because it is the first highway across the central Rockies and also because it forms the last link in the great 6,000-mile Circle Tour, a system of motor highways which extends down the Pacific coast from Seattle to southern California, returning via the Grand Canyon, the Yellowstone and the United States Glacier national : parks to the Canadian boundary. The booklet does not profess to bo a complete guide but tells in an interesting way the story of the construction of the road and gives a brief description of some of the attractive points along the route. The Vermilion Pass It .is interesting to note that so long ago as 1858; Sir James Uec- tor, geologist to the Palliser Expedition, who explored this region in connection with his search for a suitable pass for a railway, pointed out the feasibilty of the route for a road. "Of the passes traversed by our expedition," he wrote, "the most favourable and inexpensive to render available for wheeled conveyance would be Vermillion pas"i, as the most gradual of them all." After Hector's discovery of the Kicking- horse pass and its' selection for the route of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Vermilion pass was practically forgotten, but when the project of a transniontane motor highway was formulated in 1912 the low elevation of this pass at once suggested it as a desirable route for. a motor highway which would ar. the same lime open up the glories of:'the central Rockies and give access to Banff National Park. lOvcry Mile a'-Surprise The booklet is illustrated with 32 halftone engravings which indicate the beauty and grandeu-*- of the .scenery through which the .-oad passes.

Why hadn't Gylnne written, him? Arriving in the city and not bothering to go to his boarding houne, he checked his suitcase at the station <ind hurried over to the office. His face was set and stern. If he had lost his' job- He ran up the steps of the ' Journal" building and into the editorial room. All the reporters were our. by this time the paper would be through the presses and out on the street. He walked to the door bearing the awe- inspiring words "Editor." He would reassure himself once and for all. He was just about to open the door when he saw a new office adjoining the sanctuary of the.Editor. He walked over to the door. On plate glass were written the words "Assistant Editor"���������and his eyes nearly popped outkof his head���������underneath, in neat gold letters were the Avords "Mr. Jerry Carruthers.'' Overcome with surprise, Jerry snatched open the door and���������stopped. His face was a picture of. surprise. A girl was sitting at the glass- toped desk, her face buried in a mass of papers. SlOwly the girl raised her head. Would wonders never cease? It was a girl with beautiful- hair, dark eyes' and wistful lips���������it was Glynne. Jerry stared at her in astonishment as her pretty lips tendered him a smile. "Hello, Jerry," she greeted, rising from the chair, "How do you like the idead.of'my being your substitute and how do you' like your new office?" Jerry's' face fairly screamed perplexity. He advanced towards her. "My substitute," he, gasped. "My ���������office, why���������what do you mean?" "Why, Silly," explained Glynne "Didn't you know Mr. Angus'was my uncle? I coaxed him to let me take your place. You see I know the newspaper game and even edited our college paper. I was just keeping your "lace until you came back," she added shyly. As if by mutual understanding, Jen"1' took her in his arms. She nestled close, to his body and rested her head on his shoulder with a little s'gh of contentment. "We've got a great story for your 'undo, haven't we, dear?" he mar- in u'-ed. Just then the door opened and the bend of Angus appeared through the apprfure. "I heard." he grinned.

RECLAMATION* NOHRV3 K BROUGHT TO SUCl JOSS (Continued from Page One) stated that while the exact, py ce- ��������� lure had not as yet been determined, they will be put on tho market m a manner to profeci tbe int.ui.esit. of the private owner, and the proceeds devoted towards reducing' r.ue capital charge of (lie undertaking. Under the plans already formulated, rt is'proposed to divide the area into 40-acre blocks, for if is felt that a farm of the extent of Sumas lands, s sufficient to enable a man with a jertain amount, of capital to raise a .ainily and to maintain a proper standard of living. Where the land .s cut up by drainage creeks and other physical features, the purchaser will be allowed to "purchase addi- ,ional units, ifhe so desires. Disapproval of the farm of from'1 five lo JO acres was registered by Mr Barrow. Referring to the prospective purchaser, the minister asserted that, the man who starts farming today on borrowed money entirely has practically no chance of ma icing good. Tho "back of the land" movement, he felt, had been overdone in the Fraser Valley. To eliminate, any difficulty in this connection, it is essential tbat the purchaser has a certain amount of cash. If a farmer has1 lived and farmed efficiently in the Fraser Valley I'or any length of time and has not accumulated a cer-. tain reserve fund, there is something wrong with his makeup, and probably ho will not make the desirable kind of settler for the area. With the right kind of settlers, it is proposed to demand a cash pay-, ment of 2a per cent, of the purchase price, with no further payments beyond interest for two or three ., ars In various other settlement projects, a cash payment of 10 per cent."was adopted, but this was1 not favor.-d by the speaker, for it offered great opportunities' to the speculator.

The petitioners held that the time for disposing of the land was decidedly unfavorable, at present. Mr. Barrow stated that the owners were nol prompted by any selfish motive, and were acting in good faith in their requests. Under an ��������� agreement with the farmers, any plan for disposing of the lands1 must be first submitted to them for cpnsideration. He did not favor holding'--- back sale of the lands. In any event, he continued,- nc 'lands-will be offered until late in the summer, and then only a small area would comprise the initial offering. In conclusion Mr. Barrow referred in glowing terms to the spiri- displayed by the contractors ana their officials' in carrying out .the work under the most trying circumstances. The two previous winters were the worst in the history of the province, but still the work went on Tn the fall of 1921 the floods created havoc to the completed works, washing out great quantities of material and resulting in other general serious setbacks. In the winter of the same year, frost of from 16 to 2 0 inches deep���������an entirely unheard of previous occurrence���������further hampered the operations, and during that winter.more men went through the Sumas camps than on any other occasion. Still the work progressed and ��������� the efforts of the late Mr. R. J. Duncan, C. A. Strong, chief engineer foi the contractors, Capt. Musson- and several others were eulogized by Mr. Barrow. The late Mr. Duncan had staked everything he had on the venture, and strove untiringly to bring about its success. Including Mr. Duncan, four lives have been lost in the project to date. But, concluded Mr. Barrow, the completed job will stand as a perpetual monument to the men whose one and only consideration was the successful completion of the work without even a thought for their own personal interests or the pay cheque. ,: With the conclusion of Mr. Barrow's address, Mr. N. Hill of Abbotsford expressed the thanks of the audience to Mr. Barrow for giving "the romance of the construction of the Sumas' project." Mr. Hill also thanked the members of the New Westminster Board of Trade for the banquet. In responding to the latter Mr. E. A. Riddell, president ol" the local board, stated that despite the belief that New Westminster was a suburb of Vancouver, the one and only interest of the residents was entirely with lhe Fraser Villoy. The banquet was very successful, a general spirit, of cordiality and expression of good-will prevailing. Mr. Riddell acted as chairman. I.'uring the evening, Mr. Bradshaw rendered several solos. Mr. Frank Major officiated at the piano. GIFFORD, April 24.���������The Matsqui Council liclu a se.-s.sion Saturday to suit the wishes of tho. ratepayers. The long-suffering residents of tho Fore and Turner roads, failing in ihe unanimity which would .have given (bom crushed rock, have a- greed on gravel, which will be laid down by Manson Bros., L. Svard and It. Gil berg for .$1 per yard, and no local improvement tax will be levied against them. A dozen stalwart Bradner' men cafne down with forceful phrase's, which caused the council to move after lunch to a controversial ' gravel pit near Rand. Their grievances lay in the doubtful quantity of the gravel and difficulty of access. Tliey felt that the ���������l{;8 00 to be spent on their road, and the $200 in preparation would not be good business. The reeve admitted that Bradner had the worst roads in the municipality, while 'containing tho most enterprising settlers. Councillor Kcay said that the $10 00 he had appropriated for this work could not be better spent than by the plan proposed. Those who opposed it were requested to show how and wlmnce road material could be obtained cheaper. Tho council, holding its final session on the B. C. E. Railway platform gave the interested parties two weeks in which to devise practical proposals, and they would give judgement at their meeting on May ">. The disinterested councillors felt that personal sentiment was being placed before public advantage. Mr. J. Douries reported to the council the information he had gathered concerning the proposed lockup at Mount Lehman. A suitable building would cost upwards of $2,- 000, and he did not consider this expenditure justifiable, seeing that HAPPILY WEDDED NISWTON���������FRENCH (From Fraser Valley Record) May 1, 1922. The council referred the subject back to the Police .Commission for reconsideration. Instead of cutting^, the hill on Riverside road, which would' expose i sand-bed, unsuitable for traffic, Councillor Mutch proposed filling tlie hollow at its foot with crushed rock, flanked by gravel. This would greatly imp'rove the thoroughfare, vhich is of great importance to Abbotsford. The council, in fixing the tax rate 'or 1923 lowered the general and .school rate two mills on improved- lauds. \The wild land tax remains me same in toto, thought some councilors would increase it. ��������� The exemption limit on improvements is raised from $8 000 to $10,- .')00. The rate is set at eight mills cor schools, ten mills for general purposes on improved lands,, and on ���������JO per cent, of improvements over i'10,000 with 27 mills"on wild land.

It is'.talked about before and after, which goes to show that the public are really interested in ' the welfare of those who embark on the matrimonial boat. But when a wedding is to take place in a church, the church is not generally an objective point at the hour that the event Is to take, place. When the contracting parties are well known it makes the event much more intersting. Thus' it was that the Methodist church on' Thursday afternoon last was filled to its fullest capacity when Miss Marian Valentine French and Mr. Frederick Newton were, united in marriage by Rev. C. W. Whittaker. The sun did shine that day intermit- ently, and when it did it was indeed- bright. Thechurch was beautifully decorated for the occasion, the ceremony being -performed beneath an arch of greenery and white flowers, centered with a large bell. The bridal couple entered the church together to the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march played by Miss Helen Shea, who wore a pretty dress of yellow organdie w ith hat to match. , The bride, looked ' charming in a( beautiful dress Ox white satin made Grecian style with panels of silk radium lace and trimmed with velvet poinsettas, pearl beads and silk hand embroidery. She wore the customary -bridal veil with ��������� lovely wreath of orange blossoms, pearl pendant, pearl brooch and carried a huge bouquet of pink arid white carnations. Miss Delia Cook of Vancouver assisted the bride and wore a lovely costume of pale blue tafefta silk, brocaded silver slippers and carried pink flowers. Mr. Harry Cook acted as best man. Miss Sue Bowyer and Miss Freda Christie, ��������� friends of the bride, acted as usher- ���������ers', dressed in dainty frocks; of pale blue and pale green organdie with hat to match. During the signing of. ���������the register Miss Jessie Elliott* pang "Sunshine of Your Smile" and looked picturesque in peach organdie. Following the ceremony a wedding ��������� supper was served to intimate friends of the bride and groom at the home of Mr. and Mrs'. F. Sollo- way. The bride's mother ��������� wore a costume of black satin, beaded. Following, the wedding supper musical nmbers were enjoyed, among which a solo ,by the bestman, Mr. Harry Cook, "All Joy Be Thine." The guests' at the reception included: Rev.' .Whittaker, Mrs. Bryan (Lynn Valley), Mrs. West,- Mrs. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Watkins', Mr. and Mrs. H. Sweeney, Mrs. Streeter, Mr. and Mrs. F.
