Two shining colt automobile pistols, one unsullod pair of handcul'ls and a resplendent, police badge wore inspected .by the councillors before being set, n,s.ide for handing over to the policeman at Matsqui. Whilst the exfi.nuinit.ion of these aids to the law and ord.2r was proceed ing the reading of a money bylaw providing for an advance from J.ho Bank of Montreal of $0000, part of a loan previously arranged, was alsu being carried out. It so happened that when the question was put ''All in favor of this bylaw being adopted" . by acting reeve Keay, he was trying the action of one of the new Colts, which he held pointed rather wav- cringly across thtf table, around which the councillors sat. The re- j sponse of "A<ye". was very speedy, | and " it was followed by laughter j when a councillor remarked "A regular hold-up." The application of James Downio for a loan of $2000 under the better housing act.;.'provisioiis was approved: on -tho-"'motion of Councillors Bell and Benson, and the signing of the necessary documents to give the applicant' quick use of the loan, in order that he may build his house ight aw,a;y, authorized. As the outcome of trouble that has been experienced in connection with the collecion of costs and fees in regard to court proceedings, it was decided to request the police commissioners to notify, the magistrate to collect all costs for police and magistrate fees from the interested parties in every case brought by or before them in futue. Whilst on the subject the clerk was instructed to write Andrew Cal- der regarding the collection of an amount, due for fees incurred in connection with police matters. The widening of the- Yale road has had the effect of .rendering almost impassible for vehicles, the approach to the Aberdeen school, and after discussion of the mattor, during which the urgent need of re- rediate action was emphasized, the council agreed to notify the road superintendent, E. H. Verner, of the circumstances, and ask that the approach be put into better shape immediately. KHKiEDALE M'lWS Mrs. minstei Mrs. .1 Mr. C.

At least twenty-lour hours' notice should be given in such casus; and tho council was asked to co-operate in the matter, as danger and expensive delay was due in many canes to non-observance of this requirement, tle-m.

Their letter stated that, as the crossing'referred to was only a little over ouo mile from the station at Matsqui they could not see their way to go to the expense of putting in another siditig in such a close proximity to a regular station. A bylaw to regulate the speed of automobile traffic in the municipality was paw.-'.'Ml.

And a trip now looks to be just right. They will speak at different points in the' southern part of (he province.

Th������ agei-rc-general is nothing more nor nothing less than a civi: servant of the B. C. government; and why should he attempt tr bite the hand that helps to feed him? On the other hand why should not a member of parliament take into consideration the wish of the electors who-have placet" him there? But then that is different the member of parliaments only a servant of the people until such time as the last vote if cast. If elected, from that time on-the member takes it that h* is a free lance, and chats back to electors should they at all differ with him on any matter that .affects their welfare���������just the way Premier John does himself .

Glasgow. Manchester. Birmingham, Bristol and Paris. ' Tho advantages of this arrange-, ment are many, for the Dominion Express, holding as it does the exclusive right of shipping Express parcels over the entire C.P.R. system, as agents for the Aeroplane Service can ensure that r.n Express package scheduled to catch a certain fhip actually reached its destnatkm n Canada in (he shortest possible space of time.
