T. .13. Straiton and G. E. Austin in attendance with Municipal Clerk Yarwood. The first proceeding was endorsation of the resolution drafted by the Provincial government, which pledge's British Columbia to a continuous participation in the war of freedom and full support of the Empire until the Prussian despotism is overthrown. Sumas has given frely of its sons, and today sca- cely a young man is to be seen. Strong expressions of disapproval were voiced by' all attending council equally with farmers throughout the district, at the conduct of those in Vancouver who had sympathized with "slacker" and "law breaker," who had met his fate whilst attempting to shirk his duty to King and country. The general opinion in this district is that the Dominion government should put down such disloyalty with a strong hand. The resignation of Coun. Munro, who has left B. C. for Saskatchewan, and Coun. Lam- son were submitted and accepted. Accounts were passed ' as follows: School board, $424.55; road improve ments, .$2 50; crude oil-for-use on IFw fflirih Qt*hnfil 'stagnant water, as a preventative of pqi idiga school.Lhe hreeAine Qc m stalmcnt) $120 I CD I losquitoes (.1st in- (I'-rom the Fraser Valley llc.-orc!) At the last meeting of the school board it was decided te advertise for an assistant for the Mission High School, thus keeping up the staff of the school to two teachers for the coming year. This will meet with the approval of a great many of the ratepayers, as the past record of the high school has shown that it has been money well spent, and besides educating the young men and women who desire something more than the public school, lies saved the community money. Sending boys and girls to high schools outside of the district reminds one v-eiy.much like sending to Eaton's for a new hat,or coat; while jur.t as .good, an article can possibly be gotten at home, it is doubtful if the money ever comes back to the "district again, and certainly none of it helps to pay taxes.

"Barry" did not think all the fruit growers would be visited by Turnbull. oho. A difference of opinion exists regarding the necessity or advisability of holding fail's while the war lasts, and if certain prominent men had gotten their, way al. Ottawa last winter no fairs would have been held in any part of Canada during fhe current year. Tho argument put forward by those advocates of the wholesale adandonment of 'fairs, this season was simply that raising a maximum of grain to feed the soldiers and civilians in the Allied countries was absolutely imperative,, and that live stock interests were only of very secondary importance. And furthermore, that fhor time and money cx- i.,51 ponded in preparing and exhibiting animals at the fairs was just so much time and 'money wasted: Now, we'all admit the urgent need for every Canadian farmer to produce every bushel of grain he possibly can while the w;ar lasts and. as a rule, 1 think he is doing so. But while this is undoubtedly the case, there is another side to the question which is of almost equal importance, and which should not be overlooked. It is a well known fact that the world's supply ol: livestock, particularly cattle, have been on the decrease very seriously, while the population all over', this continent especially has gone on increasing steadily. When the war ends everybody knows that the present high price of wheat is bound to -recede enormously, and in all probability hogs and sheep will' also depreciate in value to some extent. ; Cattle will doubtless go down sympathetically, but not to the same extent by any means, because hogs and sheep can be produced to a marketable age very much quicker than cattle. Horses will retain their present values probably much better than any other kind of stock- for the same reason: in fact, a substantial advance in tho price of horses is highly probable. And in view of conditions iu Phirope now and prospectively, the chances are that this continent will be drawn upon quite extensively for. breeding stock to replenish the studs, herds ���������and docks of the old world, now being so seriously and alarmingly depleted. Value oi! Competition But the main argument for the continuance of the fairs and exhibitions if live stock, and it is one that 1 believe cannot be successively contravened, is the unchallenged fact that no improvement in any brqeel has ever taken place .in any country except as the result of competition. Where would the various improved breeds of horses, cattle, sheep or swine have been today without tho influence of the competitive fair or cattle show? Or how would the splendid achievements of a Seager Wheeler, or a Nick Taitinger, in the field of high class grain raising have been discovered and developed but for the competition which brought those men to the front, both in Canada and the United States. The writer is old enough to remember fifty years back, where, in Scotland, every district annually held its cattle show, some of which were open only to a few -parishes, others open to a whole county, and still others open to the United Kingdom. At these shows or fairs, as we would call them, the keenest possible competition existed in every department and the result, lias been an enormous improvement in the stock of every exhibitor, as well as the enrichment of the individual breeder, and indirectly the whole community. It is true that most of those Old Country agricultural fairs have lien cancelled'during the last year or two, and will not be resumed until the war is over, but it must be remembered that they are much nearer.'the centre of conflict returned on Fri- months' farming He does not like Huntingdon and Miss Miller who has been visiting her mother and sister Mrs. MeKinnon rolurnod to Victoria on Sunday to reaume her nursing.

The time and money spent in fitting and showing good stock is not wasted" by any means, ft is valuable constructive, educational work, and when judiciously done is alike profitable and beneficial to the exhibitor and the district1 and province in which he lives. The real value of the fairs, therefore, is in bracing up the whole community to nobler efforts through the more enterprising, progressive farmers in bringing together for competition and comparison all the best specimens of the various breeds and farm products in the district. The rivalry which is engendered of necessity works improvement in a dozen different ways. At this season it should be the earnest endeavor of every agricultural society to conduct a progressive exhibition, expanding and educational in scope, free from all objectionable features, and run not in the interests of any individuals but for the benefit of the whole community. The Alberta Department of Agriculture acts more generously than any other province in Canada in fostering and encouraging the district fairs by providing first-class judges for all the livestock free of charge, and paying two-thirds of all the prize money. Alberta, breeders should.appreciate this liberality and support their respective district'fairs to .the best of.their ability. The fairs all need a little extra stimulation and encouragement at the present.������������������time. A few of fhe smaller fairs have dropped out this season for various reasons, but some new ones will take their places, so that the total number in Alberta will be about one hundred'as usual. Co-operation and enthusiasm are most essential to success, and these ought to characterize every farming community. And remeber that the better the stock wc raise the better chance is for getting a share of the foreign trade when it comes, as it certainly will do and probably at no distant day. Farmers and breeders should trim their lamps and be ready. Matsqui Council At the Matsqui council meting on Saturday a communication from A. J'.). ' Carwright, secretary of the board of railway commisisoners, enclosed an order for the platform to ho eroded at the Rotluff road, on the C. N. R. for use in shipping milk. The work was to bo completed within 30 days of the order. The railway company had refused this platform and it was brought before the recent sessions ��������� of the board . held in Vancouver. A letter from H. Dawson, of Reiliy Dawson & Reiliy, of Swift Current Sask., acknowledging receipt of the letter from the council in which it was proposed to purchase a one- acre gravel pit on the north end of the east half of the N. E. quarter of section 30, township 1C, for the sum of $125. The letter stated that it was not certain whether the title was in the name of II. T. Thrift or Charles E. Reid. A. H. McNeill, solicitor for the Great Northern Railway, lorwarded a copy of a letter being sent to tho board of railway commissioners with reference to Ross road crossing. The Ross road crosses beneath the railway track, there being a deep cut on both sides of the track, and the municipality claims that the railway company should put tho road into proper condition at this point. As according to the letter from the company to the railway commission the former admitted that there was some gravel on the road under the bridge, but not in any such quantity as to justify a complaint. The bridge is of three spans and the slopes from the embankment, on each side of the bridge cause the road to be narrow, in order to hold the toes of the embankment some more of timber bulkhead might be put in. The railway onrneer agreed to put in t.Vse bulkheads under the bridge. Through the cut, however, the latter claimed the gravel came down as in an ordinary gravel cut, and it was not caused by an operation of the railway. Keeping this clear was an ordinary work of maintenance of the highway, and should be taken care of by the municipality. It was loft wilh Coun. Melander and the clerk to send a reply. The bad condition of a bridge over a small stream on the Straiton road was brought, to the council's attention in a letter from Donald McMillan, of Straiton. lie claimed that a loose plank in the bridge had sprung up and broken tho shafts and crossbar of a bu;:gy he had lent to some one to drive to Mission. A similar accident had occurred to another man when be drove across the bridge Counillor Phinney however had investigated the matter and found that the bridge was on the Shearwater Lumber Company'^ track, and that the council was not liable for it. The minutes of a special meeting held in the reeve's office at Abbotsford on July 6 were confirmed. The council passed a resolution approving and endorsing the petition which is now being .circulated calling upon the government to take steps to prevent the growing danger of flooding in the Fraser Valley by reason of tho denuding of the timber lands by the lumber companies, and asking for the removal of the clay bar at the mouth of the river. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd, Miss Boyd and Miss Milliard are spending a while at Hope on a fishing trip. They will take in llarison Hot Springs before returning, While the McMurphy family were at Abbotsford on Monday evening to the concert a fire broke out in their kitchen but by fhe remarkable energy of some of their neighbors the damage was slight.

The matter will never be settled until one road has been decided upon and the government money spent on that road wilh a view to making if n permanent one. that one can expect o cmfv/yp i'i" Automobilists generally ask for a direct route from one point, to another. It aids rrafiic in many ways and facilitates business. The beautier, of ihe River road through Maple 'Ridge can never be denied, hut, for a shorter route there is nothing to compare with the plan suggested by the .id-ion of Councillor Clark of Mission municipality who wants the main road from ihe red bridge across the Stave to continue northward a- lcng the Stave to within a couple of miles of tho Stave Falls when he suggests that a cut off be made to the Dewdney Trunk road. He has had the endorsation of the Mission council. The road foreman has also inspected the grade in the cut off in company wilh ��������� Reeve Catherwood and Councillor Clark, but has not as yet made his opinion public .regarding same, although Ave understand he was favorably impressed, and intended to go further into. the matter. With a little widening of the road at tlie point where the old bridge a- cross the Stave was this route could bo made an excellent one that would shorten the road to Coquitlam by a- bout seven or eight miles, but would not pass through Haney or Hammond But along the Dewdney there are very good brandies to both of these towns.

The following prophecy of the well- It nown war correspondent Mr. -Phillip Gibbs, and probably Hie most-successful writer of them all,' hazzurds a prophecy in one of his latest despatches which is of exceptional interest. "The fate of the world,"-, he says," "will be decided before the leaves turn brown on this year's trees and perhaps before the harvest is gathered in. I believe it will be u.?r.idod in our favor, but the enemy is still immensely strong. One's mind is staggered by the number of men lie crowded on to this western front, but he is using them up apace, and we know he is not replacing them at anything like the rate of losses." These words were penned after (he dramatic counter blow between Soissons and Chateau Thierry, which Mr. Gibbs considers ��������� .moans tha't the balance of numbers on the western front has begun lo tip in the Allies' favor.

Wc arc glad that not all of the labor men are of fhe opinion of the executive that ordered the twenty- four hour strike on account of the death of a former Socialist member of the union in Vancouver. Goodwin, the evader of the law, could not, have chosen a more-protected district close to civilization than at the head of Comox Lake. With the mining operations at the foot of the lake it was an easy matter to send Goodwin food, perhaps unnoticed; neither could the Socialist element of the labor party have chosen a more tin- appropriate, way of testing their strength.

Blame Ridge Mas a Road Question The Maple Ridge municipal council sat on Saturday last and after a long discussion upon the systematic regard of the co-operation of the government road officials of tho district,, passed a resolution to write.the Hon. John Oliver for an ���������interview and appointed. Reeve Ansell, Courts. McArthur, Sproule, .Dale and ftwiu'g as a deputation to thresh out the River road question. The discussion was initiated-by-the reading, of a letter from Engineer- A. E. Foreman, of the. public works-department, Victoria, alleging an agrei'nent. between the municipality and the government to each maintain five miles of the River road. Thist he council vehemently "denied. The importance of the discussion lay in the 'fact that fhe officials consistently disregarded the instructions of the Premier at an earlier date that closer co-operation between the local officials and the municipality must take place. The council pointed out several instances of arbitrary action on the past of the road foreman, who had never con suited them us to plans or expenditure, had deliberately selected the best piece of fhe road for govern mem expenditure and Jeft them the inferior, openly announcing that he would spend the money where he chose. A correspondence between Councilor Ewing and the Public Works Department was also road, and the fact that confidence in the road foreman was carried at a meeting of the Maple Ridge Liberal As- Hociation was quoted ingeniously in one of the letters as a proof of the popularity and integrity of the said foreman, much to the disgust, of Councillor Sproule who wanted to know why the association should butt in on the road work of the municipality?' A query which evidently as- founded -his colleagues by its innocence, but not taken literally. A petition to repair the River road east and west of Haney, signed by thirty people was read at this council meeting. Carr's hill was described as almost impassable .and diverting business from Haney. Councillor JMcArthur is whose beat the portion in question lies was not aparently perturbed at the commotion among Haney residents, who, he declared, would not. be satisfed even if $5,000 was spent, on the road. His appropriation he contended would only gravel the road which he-was prepared to do. Reeve Ansell would not hear of only gravelling the bill, which he pronounced as throwing the money away. It should be-rocked, the gravel would wash away. No rocking, no responsibility for the reeve. Ultimately after a long debate including hints that if the municipality wanted decent roads and efficient repairing they must be prepared for increased taxation, the rocking of the hill was determined upon. Councillor Dale's motion was carried that 100 yards of rock be applied to the hill under Councillor McArthur's orders, and that when that gentleman's resources were exhausted the balance of the cost was to be taken out of the general funds. This meant, as the rest of tho councillors interpreted, the "beat" appropriations would have to make good the deficit in No. 8's appropriation, which was acquiesced in but by no means cheerfully. During the discussion the reeve criticised the expenditure on the roads by beats and individual councillors with different systems of expenditure. He advocated a board of works and a common appropriation for at any rate the main roads, before appropriation to beats. They could thus do small portion of permanent work in each district every year. At present he had no right to criticise any councillor for his road administration except by the control he exercised as chairman of the finance conimitoe vtfsc&Hsmn&s&K Y' roiir telephone'is better-than.postal-facilities, because it brings your answer without-a moment's delay.

At AH Times ''^iinmHimnii"*11" Westminster Market A planiiful supply of this season's potatoes were in evidence at. the mar ket on Fridav morning las arly apples; home-grown peaches and boxes of the same luscious fruit from the Okanagan; honey and cherry plums, grown -in the near-by valley points, and small fruits in very fair quantitcs were all offered in the various stalls and found ready sale at the prices asked. Eggs rose another cent, or possibly two cents, higher than last week's price, but chickens of every variety, tock a drop. Ducks took a slight upward turn. Butter ; was quoted at prices similar to those of last Friday. The wholesale meats did not make any great showing and prices remained about stationary'. Pork, veal and beef .were on show but there did not appear to be any mutl ton. That the new fish department is appreciated by the public was evidenced in the fact that from opening time until nearly mid-day the stall was thronged by patrons. Vegetables of all kinds made a good showing and honey was on sale at 30(! by the section and 35������ by the glass. The auction ring did well and there were a number of: horses, milch cows and other farm stock put up for sale. The prices realized for the cows ran from $100, but the horses did not go any too well except in the case of the heavier animals. There was quite a large attendance of valley people despite the busy liar- vest 'operations. The Sherman fish stall did a land oflice business, some twelve or fourteen hundred pounds of fish being sold and the supply running out long before the demand. In view of the publicity this stall got after las! week's operation, it was noteworthy that there was a great improvement in the mailer of packing ai-d icing the f.sli this week.

A Tax Sale F&r Sumc The constant demands made on the Sumas council for road facilities brought up the question of finance at its Saturday meeting. Municipal Clerk Yarwood, on being qcstioned, stated that a few of the residents had to his personal knowledge strained every effort to meet their obligations, but there were others that seem ed to treat their taxes as a minor ^matter of importance, it. would bo impossible to get along, he slated, in reply to questions, unless the ratepayers came along with their taxes without delay. The entire council desired to avoid a tax sale this year if possible, but it was felt that one would have to be.ordered, ot its next meeting on 7th September, if a large per centagc ot the arrears were not paid before that date. The roads and briges foreman put up a practical ultimatum to the council regarding his wages, which, he said, were only those of an ordinary worker in other districts. Ho stated he could not get labor today for the wages he himself received, and that he would earn considerably more at his own special employment, lie was ready to step down at once if the council would get another man. Eventually a give and take on both sides was evolved and the situation was saved and a $���������! a day was granted the foreman. Road improvement again came before the council when a resident enlarged upon the two approaches to the Kilgarde. works, which lie designated as "man traps", "one with the possibility of a fall of 100 feet." He referred to the foreman's report on the" need of more culverts and less bridgework, as applying to the entire valley. Spanning ravines by " KECAUSB TIIE.KIGHT PEOPLE ARE LOOEIK& FOR YOUE Al).

POTATO SHORTAGE IN NORTHWEST A despatch from Portland, Ore., says: The Northwest in common with the entire country, faces a potato shortage, if the present conditions of the growing crop .is any indication. This was the opinion of crop experts hero today. Conservation of potatoes will be necessary. Long protracted dry weather has damaged the potato crop S'j\ erely. Also, the acreage is smal- l'ir 1 liar, "last year. Estimates give a potato crop in Oregon. Washington, Idaho and California of 47,400,000 bushels, against ii!),000,000 bushels a year ago. The acreage in these states, it is estimated, total 25 0,000 given over to potatoes, against 328,000 a year ago. o ������ lh r J A.
