C, FRIDAY, JUNE;2v 1911 I^>8 ��������� $1;00/PER YEAR- RETURNED FROM STEAMBOAT NO HIGH WATER THIS YEAR (From Fraser Valley Record) There has been much talk about '-High. Water" in the Fraser River this year. Owing to the cool backward spring many predict there Will be high water this year. This (paper is in a position to state, on no less an authority than Mr. W. ElluV't, known throughout the Valley as "Bill EMoitt" that there will he no high water this year in the Fraser River. Mr. Elliott haa won several new hats in the past on his predictions as to there "being no high water, and he Informs this paper that the residents along the banks of the mighty Fraser need have no fear Of ba4 results from high .water J{e. says he,.could have told,us all abqut it last fall.-. For over two weeks there has 'been no snow,.on the ground in the Cariboo '������������������country. "Mr. 'Elliott (has la theory, Which has worked out correctly fq'r- the past twenty years without fail, and he is willing to wager a new hat with any man that the Fraiser River will not become ob- titreporouB this year. His theory is not divulged by this paper. Several old time residents also aay that as there was a new moon on Sunday last with but little water in the Fraser at that time all the danger will be past before the next new .moon.and without damage un-eas there is a south-west ���������wind at. the time of the full moon when there' is the' most danger, DROWNING AT NICOMEN (From- Fraser Valley Record) On Wednesday evening the 24tb Charles Davies, firman on the rock crusher, at Nicomen,while, bathing in the creek at Nicomen was acci ��������� dentally drowned.

Black formerly of Abbots ford paid us ia visit on Tuesday. Miss Enima McCallum who has been visiting with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. McCai- lum, returned to Vancouver "on Tuesday last, Mr. J. E. Geary"_returned this morning from, Steamboat Moiuil- u.iii where he speni a' week or, leu days days looking info what the district would have .in store for him should he centre his interests there instead of 'going to Alaska where he has already 'spent sonic time. ". . Mr, Geary reports that there i3 no snow on the trailhetween Hope and Steamboat; There, are-also a large number of imen going, in and aim out over the trail;daily, many of whom nsver reach" Steamboat, while others after reaching Steam boat are tiredand after remaining a few. days to irest. return to Hope. He believed these' , latter are the fellows who attempt to give the d'-strlct a blackeye. by seating that the country is all stak ed. There is-plenty .of ground yet remaining unstaked back from the trail. Mr. Geary spent. Jour, days out. in the mountains hack from Steam boa,'- and staked a number - ' of claims for himself land friend's; He believes he has struck something .pretty good -and hojies to do- some"' asbessment "work'this summer to be more siire^what he has He. believes he1 ough to know.good mineral when.he sees it, and,while ���������th3i|3i3 ..no .gold .hatngjing on .the trees along ths -trail or dropping uiC tha aidvi of th? cliffs as some fellows-who |go evidently .expect there is good (mineral there. In conversation with Mr. Geary this morning he saidthat while digging in the gravel in the _townsite this ��������� week colors of a very encouraging nature were 'found. Lightning Creek, -some f.'fLeon miles further south from Steamboat gave promise nf bl'ing wed prospected this isummer, land report ha.s it that it may .be even better ' tham Steamboat. Mr. Geary thinks enough of the future of the district to purchase a number of pack horses and ma.ke Hope his headquarters for the summer. He will move his fam to Hope in the course of a f e .v weeks. The price pa.'d for packing over the trail from Hope to Steamboat is 10 cents per pound: and 5 centb per po^nd up from the trail. Asked as to ths route from Chilli wack to Steamboat. 'Mr. Gaarj said he believed th2 e>sist way was in over the Hope trail.:/ "Steamboat may not-boom much this year, 'but mark my word <the district is a good one" is the opinion of bur friend, Mr. Geary. B. C.E. R. STEAM SHOVEL The hill north of theto wn on the Clayburn road is bding cut down by the B. C. Electric steam shovel By arrangements Imade .between the company and the government this work is being done. The company is using the gravel for ballast on their track between there and Chilliwack, while the cutt'ng of tbe hill makes it all'the better as a public 'highway. The mutual arrangement '/appears to redound to the benefit of bo.h parties and the public. Miss Essie Shortreed of Vancouver spent a few'days at her homers re this week.

"THE BREAK IN THE, CHAIN" British newspapers, and noi a good many Canadians, are quite open in an expression of their fear that the great unpeopled region lying north of the Great Lakes is a point of weakness in the Dominion as a nation and may result in the development of two Canadas which may 'not always work' in harmony with each, other. One of the la-test writers to express fear on this point is Mr.S tephen Lea- cock who writes about it in the National Revie-w. If .this is .the case, there is no help for.it. There is not the slightest use in fighting with geography. The -Great Lakes are where nature put them and so it> Hudson's Bay. But is it Uu ctiiseV The Canadian Pacific already passes (across this region. Thi' National Trancontinental Rail way is in course of construction and will soon be opened through this vast unpeopled area. The Canadian Northern is to be built through it. North a>nd south rail ways are being ipushed into it. .It is known that there is a vast area of land there 'Suited for agriculture Almost daily w |e,;hear of new. dis-- coveries of valuable minerals there and the country has not' been one tcnih prospected. There is .much good timber; there .are inexhaust ible fisheries. . There [must ,be millions upon millions of acres of forest suitable for the manufacture of pulp and paper. Mr. Leacock asserts that the settlement of the uilicu bulges proceeded steadily from east to west and that there is now a continuous range of satlled communities ' aacross thi. Continent. But then he has forgot ten his history. For years the Pacific Coast of the United Scales was separated from the Mississippi valley by what used to be cailed the vj-reac American Desert. If hi will turn to the records of .the Un- nea States Congress he w^ll find Mr. Benton proposing iliac some point not very far west of ihe Missouri should be, selected and a tiuaicUie of the god Terminus be erected, there to signify that the limit of the expansion of the_Un..t- eu States had ;been reached.
