T saving the adjoining At the regular meeting of the Board of Trade on Monday evening the question of a bridge across the Fraser River was again brought up and it was decided that in the best interests of Matsqui on the south side of the River and Mission town and Mission municipality on the north and the. general traffic from outside both districts, that the question of a bridge should tie kept fully alive. With simply a irry across the Fraser that makes a trip only every forty minutes business is not facilitated to the same extent;as if there were a jtrip made. every_ctwenty. minutes; or better still a bridge ..that .would be open the full day., It was pointed out that Matsqui is one of the important districts on the south side of the riv-r, as. instanced by the taking over of the Hygienic Dairy (now Amiens Training Farm) forthe purpose of training the soldiers in the art of agriculture. This is a recognition that Matsqui should feel proud of and do a little boosting on her own account���������a recognition that places - Matsqui as one of the very foremost agricultural districts.on the south side of the river. Then there is the ever increasing small fruits district on the north, side of the river. A bridge across the Fraser at Mission.City would unite these two districts as one in a business way. It would also give Mission City another railway to ship fruit over into the prairie districts. It would do the same for Matsqui. The bridge is wanted and the following resolution was passed, not with the idea of pleasing everybody, but with the idea of having some basis to start from: Re Bridge across Fraser River, at.'Mission City, B.C. Inasmuch as the C. P. R. has refused to allow their bridge to be converted into a combined traffic and railway bridge; Resolved that this Board of Trade apply to both the Dominion and Provincial Governments for a separate traffic bridge to be built across the Fraser River at the town of Mission City, and would suggest that the cost of this bridge be borne by the Provincial Government, the Dominion Government and the people��������� division of cost to be as follows: one-third, by the Province, one-third by the Dominion, and the remaining one-third to be advanced by the Dominion Government, and to be liquidated by a toll to be extended over a period of years. Further that, the bridge be built across the Fraser to land at the foot of Home Avenue, the present wharf at Mission City, as this would necessitate but a small piece of road to be built on the south side of the river to connect with the Huntingdon-Riverside road, which runs a- bout due south from the Fraser to the International Boundary line at Sumas, Wash. The neighboring municipalities of Matsqui and Mission having heartily endorsed the plan of a bridge at Mission City, we think the time is ripe for the construction of this bridge. We humbly beg the Dominion and Provincial entrust the monies voted by parliament for this purpose to some national organization which had the necessary adriiinistrative machinery buildings. The W. G.

Premier. Oliver rushes into print to call the Vancouver Sun down, and asks a. lot of very nasty questions which would lead one .to believe that,the old saying, 'when thieves fall out honest men get-their dues'. We don't like to see our Premier get so grieved and lose his dignity like that. Maybe it might mean that there is a lot in-what the Sun says? Too much drink is not good for any man, but there is. perhaps something in it 'that the human system craves for alchohol' and it also again shows that when anything is. denied a man he is sure to move heaven and earth to get.it. These are however the dayswhen the individual seeks-more.ireedom-and does want to be bound down so that he does not have the liberty of .getting what he wants. Here applies.,the same ruling.as,\yhat ouv politicians are so worried about���������class control.- If class control is not good to the extent that the farmer should go into.parliament can class coiitrorbe good when the moralist says,, 'strong drink must not.be sold.' Does it work the same? The power of dictation is strong in the human make-up and when one body of men or women start to dictate, there are always those .who will not be dictated to. Consequently we do not"believe "that any system of prohibition, these days, will be an entire success:. ������ rt looks as though the Kaiser would.be kept, quite busy in Mission City if he came here a wood-chopping at the present time Wc bate to knock our climate, but surely somebody hap, erred in lotting down upon us this cold spell..
