Tho day being  "warm i.liei gal Uering' "was held on  the hiwii iu five barnyard in the'shane  of (he barn, Mr. Barrow using' Ihe  green grass as a platform aud (lie  running hoard of a Chevrolet i':ir as  a support. "everybody, even ,   Lhe  speaker had discarded coat, vest, and  collar, not lo be prepared for a fight,  hut to avoid the extreme heal of ill)  in  the' sadc.  It was noticeable that somb of I lie  old-timers woro not present to take  pari in the meeting.  ��������� This' high water has been a repetition of the last two or' three years,  and while the old-timers may be getting quite used to it, it looks a very  big and annoying problem to the returned men who have taken upland  - under the land settlement board and  -want to make both ends'meet. There  aresoine 22 of these new settlers on  the island, representing a borrowed  capital of probably soma $90,000 on  an area of about 11,000 or L2.00  acres. Some of them wiU but little  this year to carry them through for  ���������another year, let alone prepare for  the day of payments.  The provincial government has already . guaranteed the bonds of the'  Nicomen Island settlers to the extent  of some $87,000 for the purpose of  building" a' dyke., which Mr. Barrow  says is >a "dyke in the wrong place.  The settlers put it up and -made a Manager o  punk job df it.". Mr. Barrow outlined the government's standpoint in the  matter, being at times quite severe in  his criticisms of the way the dyke  proposition had been handled, and also pointing out that some $6,000 in  back taxes .were still due. He told  the meeting that th-e government  would assume no further responsibility until all cost has been agreed upon.  It was pointed out to Mr. Barrow  that while the dyke might look in the  wrong place, now, the former commissioners were not aware at. tho time  that .the late Mr. Br ire outlined the  work that: tlie Fraser River was about  to change its course as was the case  since ihe dyke was' built.  lt was pointed out however that  the federal government had expended last year and this year some $25,-  0 00 in protection work and the provincial government had done nothing  and also that the federal government  was prepared to go fifty-fifty with tho  provincial government in protecting  the island, this latter Mr. Barrow did  not think was correct. However Mr.  Barrow said that the provincial government wanted to see some business  proposition carried out that would be  the mean's of giving solid protection  to the island for all time, and he was  prepared to go thoroughly into the  ^matter with the ratepayers with this  "object in view.  Mr. Hearle ably backed by his assistant, Mr. Crawford, urged that before any comprehensive scheme of  dyking was goncahead with that: also  a" comprehensive scheme of difching  be planned before the dyko was built.  The two schemes should go hand in  hand. Here the question of loss by  mosquitoes came in for discussion  and it was. estimated that while Liu.*  milk production of the Island amount  cd annually to about flMO.OO'iJ, fifty  per cent loss.of milk could be reckoned iip-on during mosquito time. - This  would; pay for a lot of dyking.  Mr. -AMister,Thompson,- chairman  of the meeting, and also one of the  present'' coinmisisoners, urged .that a  proper dyke be built along the slough  on No. 1 dyking area and that it he  used as a road. In this he was supported by many in the meeting.  Nothing,definite was agreed upon  except to call a meeting in the school  on the evening of the 15th of July for  the purpose of re-organizing the Island Settlers Association. ,  Mr. Barrow, along with Mr. A.  Thompson visited-the Hooded pari a of  the island later  (From  Fruit Markets Bulletin).

Haney's arc offering  about 5 0(i per crate higher, but they  arc worth more than this.

At.  present the prospects are favorable, taken'as a ;\vhole,���������evcn much  more'than at the same time last year. There lias been plenty oj'  rain in many parts and with the snow late in April the moisture  will be sufficient in many,parts, even with .little rain, to make  for a'good crop.    Some parts always suffer.  Luring the ten.years ending 1919, the average yield pC wheat  to the acre was 17.27 bushels, wherear. the larger acreage sown  iir 1918 and 1919 produced an average yield of only 10 and 11  bushels respectively.-. -  Wm.

JONES  id  WHAT THE CAjS'ADIAjV PACKERS SAY  . The ^vitarrelationship between the production of live-stock  nnd the marketing of the meat is evident to every farmer. J3ut  larmers'do not know so well on wha tfactors meat packers base  their activities for the future trade. Packers study keenly the  tendency of farm production from year to year and even from  month to month, as well as the conditions and prospects of the  markets for the product of both. They regulate their year-to-  year policy largely on the prospects of live-stock production, but  their general policy spread over a term of years, is more largely  controlled by a judgment of market prospects.  Canadian-packers, realizing the interdependence of production and marketing, believe that if Canadian farmers are well  informed about markets they will maintain live-stock production  in sufficient volume to feed those markets.  Throughout the war and the year which followed packers  studied the world markets. As a result they expanded plants,  increased the amount of capital permanently invested and are  now making every effort to complete their market-organization  and connections both overseas and in the United States. This  it evidenced by the re-organizaations that have taken place a-  mong packing firms, of which many erroneous statements have  been made. .This is the true meaning of the changes.  . Canadian packers have abundant faith in the future of the  Canadian live-stock industry. Why? Because the individual  investigations of each firm, totalled and summed up, show that  market prospects for Canadian meats for the next ten years, at  least, are more favorable than ever before in the history of the  packing business.'  ?

This movement'spread.-  and the next .indication was that a  number of stores, in the United States  and in Canada, were announcing  general reduction of 20 per cent, in  all (he-goods in their store. Once a-  gain the theorists remarked: ."Poof  Tools! When they sell out. those goods  in their store they must replace them  at much higher prices,- aud will be  worse off than over.

' Sections of the Alpine Club of  Canada in all parts of the ^minion have received the anniversary  message of the director Arthur O.  Wheeler, interprovincial boundary  survey commissioner for B.C. There  is much in this document of special  interest to members of the club, but  there is also a great'deal which affects the general public, since it  -looks forward to a greatly increased  tide of summer travel into the lasi-  nesses Of the great hills.  The director's message opens witn  comments on the prosperous standing of the club and the success of the  camp at Yoho lake last summer.  Thanks are also tendered to. many  ���������who helped to make t!he camp successful. Mentionis made of renewed  photographic activities 1a the mountains and of the fact that the challenge cup for competition by amateur  mountain photographers was won  last summer by Dr. H. E. Bulyea of  .Edmonton. rgs?*  i With reference to the erection of a ||&  euitable memorial to the soldier **&  members of the Alpine club, the director says: "It is decided to do this  Ion two separate lines, first, to" place  ���������e. record of all our members on military service am? particularly tnose  jwho have joined the supreme honor  wno nave jwu���������  <-"<- ������"*������������������ -  roll, on the club house grounds at  - iBanff, and second, the erection of a  ihut above timber line at some serviceable Place in the Canadian Roclc-  jics for the uso of our members and  possibly the  public  who  are interested in making mountain climbs  :    With     reference   to   independent  mountaineering during the past year  mention is made of the first ascents  of Mt. King.George, and several other  peaks of the Royal Group, lying In a  hitherto    unexplored    district    111 >  miles shouthwest of Banff.    Ml. oir  Douglas   and   Mt.   Joffre   were  also  climbed for the first time last sum-  After some comment on tino Banff  winter carnival, in which the Alpine  club lakes an active interest, having  been donors of a challenge cup.foi  hockey,   the  director   takes  up   the  matte, of the forthcoming "Welcome  Homo" camp to be held at Mt A^in,-.  boin'e from July 20th to 3.1st, 1920. At  this camp more than 300 people wil.  be placed under canvas and the special feature will be the fact that all  returned members    will .attend--as  guests of the club. The camp will be  situated three (lays' journey from the  railroad  and transportation  of baggage will be by a specially organ-zed  pack train known as the "Alpine aub  pact train."   Of  special  yiterest  to  tho-general'public is- the1 fact    hat  this pack train will be in operation  throughout the summer and anyoae-  ,HVain\ to make a reallr interesting  :vip into the. heart of the mountains  "can  do  so  at  a minimum   expense.  The   camp   at   Mt.   Assin.bo  ,e   and  the    Overnight Camps" on  the way  thither  from  Banff will  be open  to  he public from the first of July until  ^e end of September, excejpt during j  Mount Assiniboine,. Canadian Pacific Rockies.  the two weeks when they will "be occupied by members of the Alpine  club. At any time during the summer  walking tours may be taken to Mount  Assiniboine and these camps will bo  open to furnish good meals and a  bed to the trarnper at the end of his  riaVs journey. There in only one  way to really see tho mountain and  that is on Loot, but so far this  pleasure has beeu confined to the  very 'few, on account of the difficulty of carrying food and bedding.  These difficulties are now to.be removed and it is planned in coming  years to arrange many- such walking and riding tor.r-, for the benefit  of the public.  In conclusion the director quotes  ������������������bo. jerses    oJL> jglfted   Calgary ,  poetess, Miss Marian L.  Moodier  Oh wind that comes out of the \\ esi, ���������  the land of the sunset skies,  Where far o'er yon mountain's cresJ  tho.r-fatglorious colors rise,  You brinv me the. fragrance of pine,  the coolness of mountain snow.  The music of falling streams by the  hills   where the  lilies  grow.  On wind that comes out of the West,.  you   sigh  on   your   way   to  the  plain. ,,.  The mountain land is the best.   Will  you   not   come   back   again?  Glow  skies  with your  golden light,  Blow softly wind from the hill  For my heart has a longing tonight,  that only the mountains can fill.  .I'orliai'i:   I boy   were   foolish,   but   I  am inclined to believe I hat tlioy -were  in donor touch  with reality than the  theorists. Then .'the movement spread  the retailers'.called on the wholesalers and the manufacturers to reduce  prices,  and  again  tho  theorist said;  "rttverl\-  impossible.    The  goods'we  are  making now aro produced  from  raw   materials  in  the goods actually  for the new season." And labor loolv-  on sale today.    Therefore so far from  cutting  prices  we  must  raise  them  iiig.on  with its remarkably effective  Union orgaization, was preparing for  now demands in wages���������to meet the  coming higher prices���������and  raw material would again tart upwards and  tho manufactured goods and up, up.  up would go prices���������until there came  a. smash in business, or a revolution.  Prices must come down, and very  soon.    There   is   a   theory   in   retail  business   that  "The  customer  is  always right." In this case the customer  demands a reduction and  there is a  growing feeling that the "customer"  will c.vtM't pressure on the plane next  him,   tho   retailer,   for   lower   prices,  simply by reducing his buyng.    and  the retailer will carry out the .same  policy on the .manufacturer. We are  told   that prices  cannot  come  down  until   production   increases   to   meet,  the demand.     That is a sound theory  but if is being applied in the majority   of  cases'  if is  worked  only  one  way.    How about meeting the situation   by   lowering  the demand,  until  production exceeds demand?-   There  is evidence that such is exactly the  position in the clothing trade today.  Not so much that there has suddenly arisen a surplus of cloth or clothing,   but  the   demand  has  slumped;  higli  prices  did  it.    It  was  woollen  goods that "rose- most sharply at, the  beginning of   the war;   it  would   be  but  poetic justice of woollen  goods  were the first to start on the decline.  And they would not go alone. There  would be an almost universal following.     .  The banks in forcing holders ot  merchandise to unload surplus stocks  are-wielding a,powerful influence in  this direction. ' They are compelling  deflation. Money is so scarce, mainly  because commodities cost so much,  that double or treble the same money  won't go far as normally. The sooner the turn comes, the better for all  parties, and the writer would urge  th.at a general movement be taken by  air concerned in the making or distribution of commodities for a reduction iu prices; let the retailer make  a "general one, and the wholesaler,  and the manufacturer.'  Why lament this as a calamity";  Suppose for a time that profits were  cut in two or eliminated entirely for  a few months? All wise business  men should be in excellent shape to  face this- Every year for the past  four years or more they have been  setting aside a "reserve" for just  such a situation as they seem to lace  today, when a decline should start���������  and they might have to' sell.at cost or  even a little below. And each year  they have set aside almost enough to  meet a fair decline, so that the total  reserve should be several times what j  is required. From top to bottom,  business men, with perfect justice,  and ordinary foresight and prudence  have been charging more for their  goods as a means of safety; the public paid this sur-charge, and, in the  opinion of the writer, it is the public's turn. And the sooner this general decline is begun, deliberately,  the less violent the reaction in prices  and the smaller proportion of that  reserve the business house's will, be  called on to dispense to this same  Long-suffering public The only effective answer to labor if its demands  ������eem to exceed a fair proportion, and  to threaten a further advance of  prices, is not to say, "We can t afford it," for labor can't afford to go  without it���������but to say, to labor:    ln-  . SINCE {.1870  ft  "3(1 t>ROPS  STOPS  stead ot raising your .wages; we will  lower prices; this will be the same  to you as individuals, and infinitely  ���������more advantageous to you as a body  and  to' the 'whole' public."  Investors arc vitally interested iir  the lowering, of prices. In this respect they can be divided .into two  classes. For the holders of common  stocks, where increased profits as a  result of abnormal conditions have  led to increased dividends, and so to  increased prices of their securities, it  might seem that a policy, that advocated a lowering'of those profits even  temporarily, would be a detriment.  But'not so. When, dividends have  been raised, in the great majority of  cases,' the increase covered only , a  ainall portion of the increased profits; shrewd managers kehw these  were only temporary anyway. Here  there would be a strong reserve that  would insure the ability of the company meeting these dividend payments even if the profits in the aggregate declined somewhat. And so  on the other hand, general business  conditions would improve so greatly  that the investor's equity in the business would be much more assured  than if things were to go on as they  were much longer. .   .  Let a mild prophecy end this article: that before the present budget  has run a year the $45 limit on  clothing for taxation purposes will  seem far more 'reasonable than it is  today; so with the $9 pair of shoes;  the'$3 shirt and the $1 hose. Perhaps  the minister of Finance in these  standards builded more shrewdly  than he suspected, and played his  part in forcing prices of good goods  down to the levels he' set.  The sooner prices come down the  better it will be for the investor and  i]10 ,.ri,~i/i i.iiuinnuu fabric fif t'.anadii.  whole business fabric of Uanad  CiOIiniChN   II10 A I)   AN1>   K BATING  (From Fruit Markets Bulletin>  The first car of "Gordon Head"  berries, took this market by storm,  they arrived In good condition and  were packed equal to the best 'they  were tree from grit, a fault noticed  on berries rrom districts where striving between tho drills is riot practiced  the pack is considerably ahead of  berries coming from Haney,- which  are not as well filled as they were  last year.
