Transport of Liquor for Huntingdon Rancher Leads to His Employee's Arrest. Henry Horsburg, arrested at Sumas by United States customs officers is held in the county jail pending the disposition oL* his case, which brings up an odd point in the illegal liquor transportation statute. Horsburg Works on a ranch in British Columbia close to Sumas. He had a case of whisky when arrested, which he claims he had bought in British Columbia for his employer and was taking it to the ranch, going by way of Sumas from Huntingdon in order to And ' beter roads. He disclaims any intention.of leaving the liquor in this side of the line. A ruling to determine whether he is guilty under the law by crossing dry territory with liquor is to be obtained. The whisky was consigned to Harry Vanderhoof, rancher. His farm lies partly on the American side and partly in British Columbia to the east of Huntingdon and Sumas City. 1 have not yet been caught. Evidently in the hope oi; securing forbidden liquor the thief broke into the C. P. R. station ot Huntingdon one night last week. Entrance to the office of the station was gained by smashing one of the window panes and undoing the catch. Searching around the building the burglar or burglars espied a case, which by its weight and size, he must have thought contained the desired drink. For some reason or other he did not open the case at the station and carried it for some distance amidst a downpour of rain along the road towards the Huntingdon school. Here the case was opened only to find some school books. Apparently disgusted at the acquisition of so much dry literature the burglar threw his burden to one side of the road where they were found the next morning by the children on their way to school.

It is hoped that the next report viU be that the membership has increased. GKI0ATER OUTPUT OF HONEY URGRI) Tlio annual general meeting .f the Beekeepers' Association was held recently in the offices of the Exhibition Association in Vancouver. There was an unusually large attendance, and the keenest interest was taken by all present in the various papers given and the discussions which followed. Interest in the industry, the members assert, is undoubtedly on the increase, and although in 1917 there were only G600 colonies of bees in- the province as against 8932 in 1915 the number engaged in the industry' AFTER THE MOSQUITO A meting was held' in Abbotsford on Thursday "afternoon which it is hoped v> ill have good results for-the present and future years and finally result in the complet eradication of the mosquito. The Matsqui an,d Mission council were present in full force, the Ab- | botsford Board of Trade was represented by Messrs Hill and Alanson, the Mission City Board by Mr. A. M. Verchere. A committee was appointed of the Reeves of tho various municipalities and the presidents of tiie hoard of trades, wheih meeting afterwards did much preliminary 'work. It is the intention to got all the c-.-i'iCiJs to unite their efforts and ���������1 at the that ihe '.iv <">. i - a!! the boards of trade; .-mrJ next -meeting it is expected Sumas council, the Chil'iwu. cil, and the Kent Council, the Ohilli- wack1 Board of Trade and the Agass- iz board, together with tiie members present Thursday. It is the intention to send a very representative delegation to Victoria, representing all-these.bodies, and every industry in this part of the Fraser Valley, to see what assistance the government will give in keeping the pest under control. New Bridge at Vedder Crossing however quite cheerful and hopes to [June.���������Progress. Provincial government engineers together with E. D. Barrow, M. L. A. and Reve J. A. Evans and others interested, made an inspection of the situation created at the Vedder crossing by the recent flooding of the Vedder river. While there is nothing definite to report as a result of the .conference, except that a traffic bridge will ' bo built and a temporary structure will he'thrown across the stream within a week or two, to accommodate traffic in the p-;eantimp, it is understood that the permanent bridge site will be where the bridge existed ten or twelve years ago, and stretching from the rock point on the east side to the rock bluff on the west, and several hundred feet up stream from the present bridge. It is believed that this is the best site under the 'aew conditions created when the river changed its course and passed to the east end of the traffic bridge, tearing away a large portion of the roadway as well as the approach. The river bed at this point is now something over 4 0 feet wide, instead of about 30 before the flooding. It is also proposed to protect the bank, and roadways. Much data was secured and will be taken up in all its bearings, before anything definite is announced. It is anticipated that the new permanent bridge will be completed before high water in May or in the latter year was 1500 as compared with 1160 in 1915 and with the good price and the splendid demand for the product which- prevailed last year the opinion is prevalent that this year will see a very large increase in the production. The directors ot tho associations met at 12 o'clock, and wound up the business of the year. Then at 2 p. m. the general meeting assembled. W. H. Lewis was elected president succeeding D. Mowat, of McKay; J. 10. Winston was elected vice-president and Wilfrid M. Smith was elected secretary-treasurer. A hearty vote ot thanks was ton- -dered by the meeting to Williams Hugh, the retiring-secretary,-for his untiring interest in' the work of the association. Fifteen directors, representing the various districts covered by the association, were elected At the evening session a splendid paper on the pollenization of plants and flowers' was given by R. C. Tre- herne, of the entomological branch of the department of agriculture. Following this a question box was opened, and that the members are taking an interest in the question of agriculture was shown by the number of question asked,-those who had undertaken to answer and the interesting and profitable discussions which followed. The question of forming a central ��������� beekeepers' association, which would taken in not only the coast- district but the Kootenays, the Okanagan and the Island, was discussed, and it Avas decided to at once take the necessary steps to bring about the formation of such an organization. The necessity for increased production of honey was urged upon the members. The sugar problem was pointed out was becoming a serious one, and beekeepers could do a great deal to relieve the situation and at the same time add much to their incomes. The production of honey in the province reported last .year was 8 5.0 98 pounds. Wilfrid M. Smith, whose post office is Dewdney, B. C \vould like to hear from any person who wishes to join the association. The annual fee is $1 which includes the association paper.

The a<itude of Schiedmann, the leader of the regular Socialists, does not represent the party as a whole, she declares. Back in the peaceful days of 1913 she had made a speech accusing German oflleers of abusing-private soldiers in the barracks at- Metz. When she was arrested on the charge of libelling the. crown prince more than a thousand witnesses offered to testify on their own experiences in military service. After these, soldiers had ben sent to the front she was; brought to trial and found guilty. Then there came a rumor that she had been shot. Truth came lagging behind and it appeared that on her release in 1916 she had been greeted at the prison gate by Liebknecht who happened to be at liberty that day, and a group of minority Socialists laden with flowers. In a short time she was again occupying a cell for- participating in a pacificist demonstaration. The world heard of th.'s through a little story allowed to leak past the German censor. Perhaps he believed it would cast a bad light on the die rota Rosa. She had th 'own an inkwell at a policeman! Surely ten-days added to her sentence was not too much for- this a- trocity. For ten years Rosa has urged that Germany be made a republic. Her demand for an immediate democratization was too much for the majority Socialists. A general strike against the reactionary Prussian franchise and the opening of an active republican propaganda directed against the kaiser were her plaii3, always were- voted down. with the kaiser for the release from prison of his dear friend, Rosa Luxemburg.- Tt is a very queer world; as , Adam probably said when he counted and found one rib gone. A little gentleman named Lcnino with. 9,.pock marked face, acts as peace, arbitrator in ono of the great moments of world's history. Some people say that he got 53,000,000 from Germany. Others say'.that he is,a sincere enthusiast. Perhaps it is about half and half. The known fact is that lie la deeply In love with a Jewish woman named Rosa Luxemburg. They lived very near each other in' Switzerland before it was safe for Lenine to go to Russia. Rosa Luxemburg taught Lenine to . think. ' At present Lenine is the dictator -of Russia and Rosa Luxemburg is . locked up by the kaiser in a Prussian prison. - -, Those that'like to study little tilings may ask themselves: "What -will the kaiser get for letting Rosa Luxemburg go free, and rejoin her friend with the spotted face? How big a part does this young woman in the Prussian jail play in the hist- ,ory of the world at this moment" Thus writes Arthur Brisbane, in his newspaper.the Washington Times A socialist by all except public con- fession, he undoubtedly is in close touch with radical concerns. Love affairs before this have changed the history of nations,'but Lenine at 5 0 and Red Rosa at 45 would seem to be beginning rather late in life. Women have taken an active part in Socialist affairs in Germany, possibly because the party stands alone in its support of equal suffrage. As a writer and speaker, and as an oditor "of Vorwarts, Rosa, with Karl l,ieb- knecht, has been a leader of the ra- ' dioal wing of the Social Democrats. .Undoubtedly on social and political questions Rosa Luxemburg and Nikolai Lenine possess hearts that beat as one. In William English Wal- ling's book, "The Socialists and the War" it is related that Lenine, whom Wolling called "a famous Socialist'' and Rosa were the backers of an anti-war resolution at the internal-' ionalist congress in Stuttgart In 1907 This contained the threat and prediction of revolution in all the countries of Europe, and urged that in case war should break out the Socialists should take measures to ���������overthrow capitalist rule. Rosa was born in Russian Poland She served a term of imprisonment under the czar and later became a citizen, of Germany. Her life has been a self-sacrifcing one and a reproach to some of the official Socialists who think more of their comfort than of tho cause. Pfer charity is famous. The poor and- unfortunate always found help in her little apartment on the south side oe Berlin. Fighting always for her cause and /not for herself, she has been unter- rifled by Imprisonment. From hor cell Bhe sent a greeting to English working people on the .first Christmas of tho war which revealed the hope that tho Socialists of Germany would cease to support tho autocracy. It read as published in a London labor paper: "Already aftor a few months of war the jingo intoxication which animated the working classes of Germany is passing away, and although thoy have been deserted by their leader in this groat historic hour, their sense is returning and every day the number of workers who blush with shame and anger at the thought of what is going on today grows.'' In addition to fighting the kaiser Rosa always carried on a vigorous propaganda against the Russian czar ism. She was the head of a German organization which aided the escape of hundreds of Lenine's compatriots from Siberia. Being a for- COAL'for-DELIVERY Abbotsford Feed Store Cash With Order . H.

Limited TIIE STEADY ADVERTISER which ANNUAL MEETING OE TE LE PH ONE COM PANY The steady advertiser garners the dollars that are cruising and seeking a safe harbor where quality counts. Every community has new people and even those who live long in a community like to be. invited before they go anywhere to spend their money. Events transpire rapidly in this world and the individual with/a dollar to spend can afford to be independent. When the merchant ��������� _i ������ cakes these two facts into consideration, if he consults his own welfare, he would never have his name and hit. business out of a newspaper. A well constructed advertisement is bound to attract the attention of many people and of that number so :ne are bound to buy who would not do so otherwise. Figuring on this basis, the expense of advertising becomes virtually nil. See me now about that Insurance The annual meeting of the Mission City Telephone Company was held in the council chamber;, on Monday last with a very large attendance of the shareholders. The annual statement was read by the auditor, Mr. J. A. Barr, which showed that for the past year the company had had a fairly sucessl'ul one ;but the recent ice storm coming had placed the company in rather a difficult position. The main business of the meeting was to appoint two directors for the year, to take the place of T. H. Northcote, resigned, and J. H. Lawrence, whose term expired. A. A. Lane was appointed director to take the place of T. H. Northcote and E. Bush to take tli cplace of J. H. Lawrence, the latter causing some little excitement by an election. At a meeting of the directors after the annual meeting, the following being present. J. A. Hargitt, H. 1J avion, J. A. Catherwood, A. A. Lane and E. Bush, it was decided to go ahead and push the line to working order again at as early a date a. possible. U was also decided to put a .able along .'Washington Street from Grand A. -cuiue to Home Avenue instead of -tvinging the wires on the cross- arms, Messrs Catherwood and Lane to go to Vancouver to arrange for tiie'purchase of the cable. A. A Lane was appointed manager and secretary for the year. ,j. A. Catherwood remains president.
