The nominations for Sumas municipality took place to-day at the municipal hall resulting as follows: Reeve-=-Ex-reeve Munroe by acclamation. Ward I.���������W-. J. Fraser and D. Mc- Kenzie. Ward II.���������Elmer Austin, acclamation. Ward III.���������T. B. Straiton, acclamation. Ward IV.���������Luther Lamson, accla mation. School Trustees���������T. B. Straiton, Elmer Austin and Louis Munroe by acclamation. Ward I. is the only ward in- which a contest will take place. It is wonderful ,how dependent the residents' of the Valley and also those of the whole of ������he lower Fraser Valley contiguous to the B. C. Electric Railway, are on the electrical energy of that company. The interruption to the light and power former' blew out at Cloverdale sub- servise' Friday night, when a trans station, brought this - much in .evidence, an'ds nearly , everyone wa robught tos a standstill for the want of electric light. The Interruption to the service occurred about six o'clock, shortly after the last" outgoing tram to New Westminster h-ad left this terminal, and about half an hour before the. arrival of the 6:.20 tram These with' other passengers and freight trains on the line between Chilliwack and Cloverdale, were stalled six hours awaiting re- painrs to the blow-out. Huntingdon and Abbotsford also were in ..total darkness, even' after the power was turned on so that the tram could carry the numerous wait ing passengers it was some hours be fore the lights in these places were turned on. One consolation is that it is a'very rare occasion when'an accident, of this kind happens to the B. C. Electric Company.

' " , AGRICULTURAL MEETING DIED SUDDENLY Mr. and Mrs. Blair were guests of friends in Mt. Lehman this week. A brief despatch was received in Huntingdon on Tuesday last stating that Mrs. J. F. Boulter had died at the home of her parents, very suddenly, in Opal, Wyoming. . The deceased, lady was the wife of Mr. J. F. Boulter, who was formerly C. P. R. agent at Huntingdon and her sudden demuo came as a shock to her many friends in this vicinity. On Monday, January 19th," a meet ing of the directors and members of "the Abbotsford-Sumas Agricultural Aassociation will be "held in the Masonic Hall; Abbotsford, at 8 p. m., sharp, and'all members are urgently requested-ito make it a point to attend Business of importance will be transacted, including the~election of officers for the ��������� ensuing year. It is the intention of the Association to put" forth every effort this year to provide an exhibition that will be a credit to the district, and show the outside public just what can be grown in this vicinity. Do not forget the date and the time and the place. Several years the association held a successful fair and everyone was more than pleased with the result*. Tupper McPhee and Leslie Trethe- way are attending high school at New Westminster. RETURNED HOME Mr.. M. E. Scotsvold and bride returned home on Tuesday last and were warmly welcomed at the station by their numerous friends, who greeted the happy couple with showers of rice and good wishes. " The same evening a crowd gathered at the house where they were temporarily staying, and with the aid of cans, cow bells, etc., proceeded to give them a heartier welcome, but alas for their efforts! The blushing bride appeared on the scene and informed the merrymakers that her husband had been called to the mill on important; business and' would jiot be home that night. Therefore the gang had to disperse, but cheer up. there may be other nights. ....The Post wishes Mr. and Mrs. Scotsvold many years of happiness and prosperity. Mr. and Mrs. W. Longfellow are moving from-Sumas and will reside in Abbotsford infuture. MAKE THINGS QUIET. The heavy rains during the past few days have made our town very quiet and the attendance at public meetings exceedingly small. Whileall are wanting more favorable weather, they are thankful the mildness continues; it is kind to the poor. After getting "domiciled in his new residence, Mr. Longfellow intends er ecting a new' barn on his premises, which v.ill be equipped with all the modern ' conveniences suitable for bo vine comfort. After the structure is completed it will be stocked with the most luxurient food stuff to be found on the market���������naturally this will be procured from "J.J.'s" Feed and Grain Emporium. When this has been accomplished he will then carefully study one of Eaton's' catalogues and if it cointains a thorough bred graded Holstein cow, guaranteed to produce luscious cream suitable for a growing family, the afore said animal will probably at once be purchased and shipped by parcel post direct to its destination but in case no such animal is in stock, the order will be sent direct to the old country, where these animals are raised especially for the foreign market. Then the two recent purchasers of milk producing bovines will have to look to their laurels if they wish to remain in the dairy business.

But after this it in hoped that we, will bo able to do better, and maybe on some occasion, when lifting, will come out ahead of time. This week tho elections will bo in full swing, the candidates all working full time and possibly overtime for a few days. We are sincerely hoping that it will be fine weather so that the various candidates can get around to see the voters. When the-sun is shining it is always easier to talk politics. Then it is easier to stand outside and listen, too. , Throughout the Fraser Valley last year, the various municipalities were fortunate in having a good council, headed by a good reeve, to look after their affairs. Many of these same men' are running again for office and expect to be elected. " It is up to the electors to elect the men who will work best together for the good of the community. This coming year will be one of the best that the Fraser Valley has ever seen and we want men who will be able to grasp the opportunities before they pass, and use them for the benefit of the community. Vancouver is trying to do a little boosting for the Fraser Valley these days and will do more during the coming year than ever before. Situated as Vancouver is, she can do much"' to popularize. the Fraser Valley with intending settlers.

In tho fish section salmon rose from 12 1-2 to 15 cents a pound and cod wont up from .10 to 12 1-2 cts. a pound, and herrings down to four pounds for 25. cents. Sturgeon remained at 15 cents per pound.. ' Thore was agood supply of poultry but no apparent change iu the prices . . Dressed poultry on an average fetched 25 cents a pound. Cabbages, potatoes, carrots and turnips were in abundanco with' the first mentioned selling at $1 a sack and potatoes at $1.15 to $1.25a sack The last two remainod at 75 cents a sack Celery was offered on the market at two for 25 cents. Carnations and narcissus appeared on the flower stands along with potted plants such as azaleas, tulips cinerarias and aspedestras. Carnations were sold at 75 cents a dozen. Potted plants ranged from 35 cents apiece to $1 for aspedestras. Complaints were heard on tho market from Ltuln-er residents regarding the .scheduled time of the New Delta which docs not arrive at the market wharf until 12 o'clock, too late for bringing market produce.

It dpos not appear that the nine applicants for oil land near-Mission place much faith in their speculation. The department rules that the applicaion fees must bo followed within thirty days by tho payment of one year's rent. This has not been done and therefore the local land ofilco has notified the department, and, on receipt of a reply from Ottawa, the lands under notice will be open for application by the first person who desires thorn.���������Columbian. The above only applies to those from the coast--cities who staked land here, and has nothing. to do with tho real promoters' at Hatzic Prairie, where the oil was discovered first, and where boring opera-- tiona will commence within a short tinie.

"Well, this is thevway it looks to me: Lucy, she cuts Orville short on mince .pies. He's a terribly greedy fellow, and he fixes up1 a plan, where his .wife will be persuaded to make, a lot of pies and parafeen them and store them against.next winter;-that's,the experiment on her part Now, Orville puts theN pies in the icehouse and helps himself to 'em whenever he wants one or two or three, an' he eats 'em down the bay, throwin' the parafeen tops ���������overboard, forgettin' they're evidence of his crime. Now, I'll bet you that if > Lucy Beers was to count bez* cold storage pies today, she'd find out that there wasn't many left against next winter. This pie eatin' trick is Orville"^ experiment!" ' .- "How dreadful 1" I exclaimed, even as I laughed at the thought of fat Orville Beers guiltily devouring mince pies down the bay in perfect unconsciousness that his, perfidy was [witnessed by Captain Barnabas Fish.' "What are you going to'do, captain? It doesn't seem right that Lucy shoiQld be so deceived by her husband."

I could see his boat with its patched sail .white against the headland. "I suppose he is eating mince pie," I mused.
