M OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE GRAND,LOYAL ORDER OF BOOSTERS Vol. VI., No. 14. ABBOTSFORD, B. C, FRIDAY, Feb: 14, 1913 GLASS CAUSE FIRE. State-Forester Welly, of'.Washington, is investigating the possibility that broken bottles are sometimes the cause of forest (Ires. - Ho says in a letter to,various forest fire protective associations: "May tho mysterious origin of fires in forest material be attributed' to broken bottle ghiss? "Many llres are reported ouch season by flro wardens, originating from causes unknown, along travelled roads and trails.' No doubt, many of these ' tires c^n be attributed to tiie ofti-elegs^ ness of travellers along the highways. A cigar stub, cigarette or. match carelessly thrown away and left to smoulder Is the gauge p������ n^any fipe������, "A Tacoma correspondent Sftysi 'Eight years ago, while living at Grays Harbor, my duties caused me to cover a good deal of territory in and through the wood*. One day at noon l was crossing an unused trail up the Wisli- kab,, river, when'I discovered a little smofee coming from, -am.on.g- a, few leaves. I looked about, saw .no one, and after carefuly investigating, I discovered a broken beer bottle���������the boL torn reflecting squarely en the ami's ,..-rays,,making it act, as it did, a burn-, ing'glass. I believe if glass found in the woods, especially in op������n d.ry - places, \vaa'kicked 6v buried under earth, the glass could-not do the.work I saw the glass trying to' do'.

The meeting on Saturday afternoon of interested property owners and of members of tho City Council to consider the grading of St. Paul Street, established vory definitely the .fact' that the owners are "strongly averse from the continuation of the present project. No compromise, however, was. arrived at. The Mayor had no hesitation in saying that he' attached no- Importance to petitions, and he' threatened,to resign his office if a;pe- tition then presented' were persisted in; yet the. property .owners did not display any alarm at this, nor did they retreat from their opposition to the grading proposals. Instead they'.tQl'd his worship pretty plainly that it-was the duty'p? the Mayor and the'.Coun'cil to carry out the wishes of the people, and that the "present attitude of contemptuous disregard of an expression of publie' rfpliiloii contrasted very strangely with promises made by. the civic fathers 'when . they, gpught'. reelection, a few weelti ago. , " 8 $1.00 PER YEAR S IN Iii REGULATIONS .Two tons of butter were condemned recently in Saskatoon.

' . Secretary:, ,.Mr. ��������� G.' C. .Clark.i ��������� ] : Treasurer: Mr. S. A.'Morley. The next was the executive committee to be composed of six members. Ten names were proposed, resulting in ,the following being "'.elected:- Messrs. ��������� Dr.'-Swift) P. "Munro," J. J. Sparrow, W. J. Ware, R.'; Av Trethewey. and-H. McKinnon. < ' A vote of, confidence was passed to the Ottawa government,- as "was also one to the local member, Mr. Cawley, and the McBride government. Prof. Hill Tout made a couple of interesting speeches on the ways and means of improving the agricultural facilities and the aid the government should give the farmers in regard to small loans. The meeting-then adjourned.. Old Timers Cut it Out. Articles were signed yesterday between'Thos. Haney and. James Best, two well known pioneers of the district, for a chopping contest to take place within a few days for a side bet of $100.. Considerable good-natured rivalry has existed between these gentlemen as to who was the better axeman, the controversy finally ending in the above challenge by Mr. Haney, which was promptly accepted by Mr. Best. Mr. Haney is now seventy-two years of age, his opponent being some sixty years his junior, and each gentleman has a host of backers, their prowess with the axe being widely known all through the district. By the terms of the agreement one cut will be made in a log not less than fifteen inches in diameter, both to chop on the same stick���������Haney to cut ten feet nearer the top of the tree selected than Best. The one making the fastest time to capture the money. The contest is exciting no little excitement in the town, and the result will be awaited with interest. Mr. and Mrs. Currie returned on Monday from theii' honeymoon jaunt. Important changes in provincial lands and forest legislation are proposed ' in the ministerial measures brought before the Provincial Legislature, the' former rejecting the system of the past in charging for preempted Crown lands, and offering instead free holdings for settlers, who will be required to pay merely the' $2 record fee and' $10 for Crown'grant. The .standard size of a holding will continue to be 160 acres, although power is retained in the minister of lands to decide' as to the size of any individual preemption, or to reject an application entirely, if such action appears/to him'in the public interest, an explanation of "this provision being found possible in the fact that many Orientals have heretofore sought to cake advantage of the .pre-emption law in securing possession of'. provincial lands. - The minister is also empowered to allot pre-emptions, if it -is deemed in the public- interest,- even in such reserve localities,as provincial parks. ' As against the loss of revenue,involved in this new policy, the amendment to the Forests Act provides for an increase of the royalty, collected on timber cut on' Crown lands ' from 50 cents to one dollar per thousand feet, board measurement, . such increase, however, not taking effect until three years hence. There are also found in the Forests Act Amendment Bill provisions extending the time for timber holdings surveys, upon recommendation of the; surveyor-general, enlarging the prohibition of export of unsealed timber by making such .timber and the tugs' towing it both liable to* seizure and confiscation; prescribing reforms in timber markings, and increasing the annual collections for forest protection service from timber licenses, leases and owners of timber lands. ' Whereas this impost has been one cent per acre per annum under the' forestry legislation of 1912, it will be one- and one half cent in future, the government continuing to contribute dollar for dollar. Well Known Hardware Man will Rebuild Magnificent Premises Mr/ A. Alanson,. whose hardware ; store was destroyed ,in the recent fire which wiped out the Gazley block and who has recently -purchased the stock of the Abbotsford Hardware Co., has decided to remodel his present ��������� warehouse into an ��������� up-to-date hardware and furniture store. The plans call for a building' 30x100 feet, covered with metal sheeting thr'ough: out. two large plate glass windows in front. The second storey, which will be used as the furniture department, Hvill have a floor space of 30x60 feet. Operations .,' were.-, com-- menced on the new building on Thursday and the work will be rushed' to completion as fast as,' possible. Mr. Alanson is one who believes in .the bright future assured for Abbotsford, and ' deserves "the ��������� hearty > support of the; community for his energetic efforts in erecting' such' a ���������struc-'-: ture. ', , - " - - ' ., '. ��������� ��������� AFTER THE HADDAD GUP An important step forward in the direction of good roads was taken by the Municipality of Maple Ridge at their Council meeting on Saturday last, when it was decided, to purchase a steam roller and two road graders. The councillors were present in full force, and all seemed anxious -to meet the wishes of the people, as expressed on nomination day, for a forward policy in road construction. The new roller is to be delivered at tn"e Municipal Hall in abobut ten days. Because of representations made to Hon. W. J. Bowser, Attorney-General, by stockholders in the People's Trust Company, now in liquidation, the Minister announced that he had appointed Mr. Herbert Lockwood, accountant, of Vancouver, as receiver in connection with the affairs of the company.- Stockholders of the company in New Westminster, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Eburne and other places have been for some time in communication with the Attorney-General regarding the ap- i pointment'of a receiver. A meeting of the Abbotsford Football Club was held' on Saturday last with President Hill Tout in the chair. It was decided that the team should resume regular ^practice's for the closing matches of the season. These' will include games for the Chapman cup, at present held by the Langley club, and a final game with the Mission' City ��������� team for the Pladdad cup.; providing-the latter accept the challenge recently sent them. If Mission City does not defend the cup then the silverware, will come to Abbotsford,. -but if they do accept, the cup will come to our own burg just the same." The secretary was instructed to have the Hill Tout cup placed on display in Mr. Campbell's (the local jeweller) window. CUMBERLAND. Field Engineer Bartlett,' of the C. N. R., arrived in town on Sunday. Ho is here in connection with the bringing in of that line to Cumberland. It is claimed that $60,000 has been sent into Cumberland and Ladysmith by the U. M. W. of A. during the strike. The Royal Neighbors, the ladies auxiliary lodge of the Modern Woodmen of the World, of Sumas, Wash., are making preparations for a dance on Friday.

" If the laud settlement in the Fraser Valley is to keep pace with the great cities that arc springing up on Burrard Inlet and-the Fraser River, then these two forces of stumps and speculation must be eliminated from the land and the settler permitted to cultivate our rich and fertile soil, ' ( Of the two deterrent elements in the Fraser Valley',.the-stumps with the trees are the worst. Ii* other parts of the province irrigation has made an otherwise barren soil productive of bumper crops. The settler of the Okanagan would not reside long were it not for the modern method of' irrigation. However, up to the present but little, and aside from desultory discussion, nothing but individual efforts-have been applied to the clearing of tiie land of the Fraser Valley, and that at such expense as to be discouraging to the man of small means���������"the man behind the hoe." Taxes are high in the Fraser Valley, but not high .enough to build our roads as they should be to make country life the pleasure desired, yet the taxes for the upkeep and building of roads comes heavily upon the man , of small means���������the man upon whom the Valley is depending to till the."soil. Labor is expensive and after the products are grown the markets are limited and not easily accessible. Over poor roads the cost of taking the products to market costs the farmer extra expense. Figuring a man and his team worth $6.00 per day, there'is considerable to be added to the cost of raising and marketing" the products. .Growing for the market is an expensive proposition, even after the initial cost of clearing the land has been met. The life of the man .who clears the land and tills the soil must be made easier if the fertile land of the Fraser Valley is to be put under a high state of cultivation. It is estimated that but one acre in fifteen in the Valley is at the present time producing for the Coast and other markets. Yet the demand of the Coast cities are such that vegetables of all kinds, eggs, butter, etc., have to be imported. On "the basis of supporting home industry, there appears to be a problem to solve for the Valley. ��������� Taxation is high, even burdensome, so it would seem that the government with its surplus of eight or ten millions, should devise some scheme o������ assisting the fanner. Cheap money for the farmer, having the land for security,1 might assist, should this money "be loaned at a low rate of interest on long time periods. This would- encourage the wage-earner and the man of small means to own and cultivate a piece of .land. Working-along special lines it- takes ."hut little land to return to its owner a living. . It would seem worth -while to have the land under cultivation. The day is coming when the surplus, of the province wi.llbe reduced, and unless all or nearly all the land that is capable of being under cultivation is producing, where is the government to get its money to .pay the expenses, incurred during these days of high financing and the bonusing of railways? The present government has done ��������� much towards raising the financial standing and credit of this the largest province in the Dominion, but the individual settler now requires, that if in future years this credit is to be maintained, some \cvy deep consideration from the government. Cheap money, cheap powder and stump eliminating machines, with good roads, ;would do much. Mayor Baxter would appear to have struck a key-note that should meet with the approval of all right thinking citizens of Vancouver. The cost of selling goods in the large departmental stores is no doubt reduced on account of the low wages paid employees. How can a Christian, believing in the uplifting of humanity, take pride in purchasing goods from a store where the clerks do not receive enough -remuneration to keep body and soul together? "Man's inhumanity to man"- was probably never better demonstrated. The other day an exchange was picked up and the following was noticed: " Nearly everybody gambles in this city. There are private clubs that keep open until 4 a.m. for this purpose." What a bad city Vancouver, B. C, must be. Many of us have friends in that city whom we know are not gamblers. Of course it is the duty of the minister of the gospel to tell us of our failings. That is his duty, but a sweeping statement like the above would lead one to believe that never was it demonstrated more fully that "The pulpit is the coward's castle." " of Loganberries is in its.experimental stage, yet -.there are a large number of fruit growers throughout the' dis- trlct .who are raising this luscious fruit .with pronu~~and the following article taken from an American exchange might be-of interest: "Few of us realize what this industry means to the-northwest. The Loganberry may be said to be confined strictly to the northwest and only certain parts of this region are favorable. The Logan; is subject to winterkilling and for this reason cannot be grown in the East or in any region subject to heavy, snowfall and , freezes.' .As .the ,Logan can only be grown commercially within a comparatively small area it is certain that it is not likely, to be overdone and that it will prove a very profitable industry, "The number of ways which the Logan can be marketed at an economic advantage, must not be lost sight .of. Not only can the Logan be shipped fresh, but-it is a berry which will dry , and so can be shipped in the dry state. It can be canned and made into jellies and jams. It can be put up in tho crushed form and sold to the confectionery-trade. The juice of tho Logan is as good and by many is considered better than the grape juice, which has become so popular. We must not forget that the Logan is a comparatively new fruit. Kb many good qualities are just becoming -known. Try to think what it means if any one of the above forms of marketing should become firmly established. If all these forms of marketing should gain a foothold, we might .not find ready acreage tp supply the trade. Even now there are not "enough Logans in the northwest to supply the canneries alone. Almost the entire output of Oregon was sent to .the canneries the .past season. Many berries were shipped fresh and. a few were dried. In the near future we may look to see. a considerable portion of ,our Loganberries shipped to Eastern markets in the dry state. Pre'-cooling and fast train service is already making this.possible. "Last year, 22 cents per pound was offered-for the dried product and this season the price has jumped to 28 cents, but, aB said before, the bulk of the crop was canned. . The output is far from equal to the .demand^ even as j it is, and so far no attempt has been made to market the Logan in the juice form, in the manner of grape juice. -We .may .not'expect this form of marketing until the output is much .greater. Logan juice factories will take .care .of .any surplus which may occur, and it would.not be surprising' if .the juice would prove more profitable than, all other forms of marketing combined,.as is the case in. the pineapple industry, today. It,is very improbable that.-we .ever will see an over-production of Loganberries. . "It must be remembered that this industry is new. Many people are doubting, as they did in the case of the" apples a few years ago, whether the Loganberry ".will prove a profitable industry and whether it will be overdone. If one, however, would look into the real conditions, it would be found that an over-production-of the Loganberry is not to be feared. Even if the apple should be overdone, and such is very improbable, then considering the limited range to which the Logan ��������� is adapted, it.is still more improbable to think that the output will exceed: the demand. The apple can be grown very successfully in the. East. The East .is beginning to wake up to its possibilities for apple growing. They have studied Western methods and are Deginning to put them into practice. With a short rail haul to the great masses of our population, with small freight charge, the Eastern grow;er may well compete with the Western product. The Western Loganberry grower will have no such competition.'' can cut prices. It takes Brains to make a better article NOTICE! Having disposed of our business to H.
