Seemingly tho Mission boys havo lost all interest for any athletic contests, and no team was available. So not to disappoint the good sports from Abbotsford a hurry .up call"lwas sent to tho Glen Valley team to come and defend the trophy. The Glon boys responded nobly to the call, with the result-that an exceedingly good game was witnessed by the fans who turned out. to" see it. Notwithstanding the,fact that Abbotsford won''by a score of 3 to 0, the Glen boys' deserve credit for the good exhibition they put up, especially against a more experienced team. i The teams were as follows: .Glen Valley���������P.

On Friday evening* last our football boys entertained their .friends at a fancy dress ball and all who attended (nad there must have been- over two hundred)- agreed in saying it ���������was one of the most,enjoyable evenings"spent in our bright town.;- 4>, -;;.. . The,. Masonic Hall was. artistically decorated, for the occasion ..with,,,red; arid white bunting-and'.Chinese- lanterns and the. lighting, with its rosy tinge,- gave a most pleasant and striking effect as one entered the. hall. The floor was in excellent condition while the music, supplied by the Everett orchestra from Bellingham, was ideal. Mr. Boulter officiated as master of ceremonies and rendered excellent assistance. The refreshments, served by the lady friends of the club, were, various anil very tasty, going far towards heighting the enjoyment of the evening's pleasure. All credit is due the energetic committee consisting of Messrs. W. A. Ferguson, G. H. Liddell, G. E. Hayes, A. -J. Heenderson, B. J. Gurneay and J. Heath,- who had charge of the arrangements. The committee desire to personally thank all the ladiese who so kindly provided cake and the gentlemen who assisted in moving the piano and rendering other help.

Our Shibboleth���������Neither for nor agin the Government. Friday, February 27, 1913 The question of good, roads is agitating more than the local people at the present time. It is a question that many bright minds throughout the land, both in Canada and the United States are con- . sidering at the present time. The Americans are considering the proposition of making it a national question, many of the legislators believing that the building of a system of national biglnvays is of more economic importance than any other public work���������more vital than the question of a large navy, more useful than any river or harbor improvements, more necessary than the Panama Canal. For biglnvays are built and owned by tlie people and are free to all the people. It is universal experience that one mile of good road breeds another mile. Put a State-wide, good road, down anywhere in this country, and in ten years there will be dozens of good roads reaching it from all parts of the State. Put down a system of National Highways, built and maintained by the National Government, and the various State Legislatures and County officials would soon sec the advantage of connecting all parts of the States with those Na- . tional roads. ^ There are two.million miles of roads in the United States. The fifty thousand miles of highway shown on the map is but a fraction over two per cent, of this mileage. But improve these fifty thousand miles into good roads, and keep them good roads by proper . maintenance, and fifty thousand miles more would grow almost over night, and then another fifty thousand and another and another, until our great country, with its huge territory, would be crossed and recrossed with good roads, as France is today. France has National Highways. These are immense trunk line roads, great arteries of commerce, and from these the smaller roads are built by the provinces of France, just as the States and Counties of our States will build feeders and connections to a National System of Highways. If France���������about the size of Texas���������needs National Highways, how, much more do we, with our huge territory, require them? Many idealists and dreamers have proposed National Road Systems for this country. Usually the system has been worked out with a map, a ruler, a pencil, and sublime faith. Mountains, lakes, rivers and forests form no obstacles to. such visionary road systems. The National Highways System, as shown on this map, is the product of no such dream. The highways indicated are either the best present roads from point to point, or what are, in the judgment of a trained and experienced corps of road engineers, the best possible and prcaticable roads from point to point. But these engineers, who worked months on hundreds of large scale maps, aud with the aid of a nation-wide correspondence of more than fifteen thousand personal letters- asking information and advice know this system is only tentative. It is but a suggestion. It is not intended to.be anything, else. There must be a beginning to everything, - and little headway can be made without some such careful plan from which to start. It is designed to connect all the States of the United States, touch every city, every State Capital, by a system, of, roads. The roads are to be as straight as the contour of tlie country will permit, without an impossible expenditure of money to tunnel mountains or bridge lakes and rivers. There are three classes of Highways, Main, Trunk and Link. The Main Highways are six in number, Northern, Central, Southern, Atlantic, Mississippi and Pacific. These form the starting point and the basis-of the system.* Next come thirteen great Trunk lines, feeding and crossing the Main LTighwaj's, and connecting the various sections of the country'in more intimate relations. Finally come forty Link Highways- smaller National Highways���������making a gridiron of the whole system. From the above it will appeal- that there ismore to good roads than any municipality of the Fraser Valley can. solve, and according to modern, ideas of road building no province in the Dominion is doing its people justice if it permits the small municipalities of its domain to attempt to solve this problem without ample assistance. THE MARKET Ninety thousand dollars a year is taken out of Kamloops for lire insurance. In 1-311, $2500 was paid for lire insurance-losses and in 1912, $28G. Shipments of rails for the Canadian Northern Pacific Railway are now en route by rail and overland. Thirteen thousand tons of steel are coming around the Horn from Sydney, N. S., to be delivered at the Port Mann end of tlie new line, and 91 car loads have ben routed from the Atlantic coast over lhe C. P. R. to Kamloops. While George Isherwood and Charles Preston' were crossing Mabel Lake with mail for Hope, Isherwood was drowned. . . The Canadian Northern Railway have just signed contracts with builders of rolling stock all'over Canada for seven million dollars' worth of railway equipment to be delivered during 1913. This will include 130 locomotives, 70 passenger coaches, 300 box cars; and variety of other cars. Equipment bonds 'will oe issued for the purpose.

Butter also showed indications of "dropping to 3,5c .per lb. Poultry weakened slightly although ducks soared to $24 per dozen.

Potatoes fell $1 per Ion, being sold this week for from $12 to $13. l)i the vegetable department carrots and parsnips were sold for $1 per sack which is an increase of 25c per sack over the price realized last-week. ��������� The supply of apples was somewhat bettor today, a considerable quantity of good combined eating and, cooking apples meeting with a ready demand at "pi per .box. Other apples which wore spmowhatjarger brought $1.40 per box, but tho general price averaged $1.25. Moats and fish remained stationary with no indication of a change.

Like a lordlier "Bottom'' ho made it his business to "see the noise he heard,'' and the attraction was, apparently, not diminished, for marriage ensued. By the death of his brother recently, Major Ashburnham became the sixth Earl of Ashburnham and possessor of an estate yielding an income of some fifty thousand dollars. The new earl and his wife prepared at once to sail for England. The countess is an excellent horsewoman."
