Sumas. Your Worship and Gentlemen, We have been-in consultation with several of the merchants and real estate agents of New Westminster City as well as representatives of the various municipalities in the Fraser Valley district whom ,we have happened to meet-, and have discussed with those gentlemen the very obvious discrimination that exists, especially in Vancouver City against the city . of New Westminster and the various municipalities located.in the Fraser Valley. . It is an. undoubted fact as we have evidence to prove,that every inducement is used by a- gents in Vancouver to deter settlements in our respective" districts and although; quite recently 1000 settlers came through "ataone. time fiora the old country to Vancouver, we venture to say that not 5 per cent came through to view the city of New Westminster muchiesa our representative municipal areas This depreciation of the advantages we can offer to these settlers must be counteracted. We hav** suggested a course thich seems to rheet with general approval lo every person to whom it has ocen communicated. It is this, 'i'liei. are fourteen municipal districts, uj eluding New Westminster City; which front on to the Fraser River. Now if each of these municipalities would vote a sum equal to 10 to 15 per month for publicity purposes and the various business men having their business in Now Westminster were to contribute b per month���������say yi0 firms��������� anui these contributions were-,placed at the disposal of a committee Vj be chosen by the municipalities there would a;s a result, be an income of 390 per month available! for the purpose of acquainting tne incoming settlers with our location I THE LOYAL, TRUE *' BLUE ASSOCIATION On Wednesday, June 5th. the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of British Columbia of. the Loyal .True Blue Association was held according to appointment in the Maple Leaf Hall. The (members^ were called to order at 10 a. m. by the Most Worshipful Grand Mistress, Sister Pilkey of Vancouver. Over, forty delegates' from various parts of the province responded at roll call, and most, interesting sessions were held in the afternoon and ervening. The od- iects of this association is to unite loyal-Protestants in rescuing, educating and caring for destitute orphaned and neglected Protestant children and in providing sick accident and funeral benefits for its members. It has over 450 members in this province and is - associated with the Supreme Grand Lodge of Canada which meets chis year int September in Ottawa. Ont.

The doctor thinks that many people even if they have a case of measles or similar contagious diseases do not inform him aj. public health officer, aiso with regard to the schools it is the teachers' duty even on the slightest suspicion of any contagion in a house to immediately stop the attendance of any children from that house and to inform Dr. Swift of the circumstances. JUNE BRIDES pire. "MEADOW LARK.1 ST. MATTHEW'S PICNIC, Our genial baker is slowly disposing of the half dozen pr more bride cakes he has under his charge. We hear that another cake is ordered for the 19th. The collections at the port of Abbotsford for the month of May were #1155.10 as compared with $1146.28 for the month of April. On Saturday morning last, the 1st of June, a happy party depart ed from Abbotsford station by car for Chilliwack on pleasure intent. It was the occasion of the St. Matthew's, Abbotsford, Sunday school picnic, and ideal weather, combiu- ed with the gayest of spirits, prom ised well for a pleasant day. And so it proved, though we regret to Bay that the vicar did not accompany the party .as one would hav*> liked. We left Abbotsford about eleven o'clock and after thoroughly enjoying the beautiful scenery we arrived in due course at Chilliwack. Here the vicar of the town met us and showed the party around. He also kindly loaned us the use of the parish house and lawn, which we much appreciated. Various kinds of games and sport then filled up the time until about two o'clock, when' everyone sat down to a hearty meal, for which you may be sure one and all were ready after the exertions of "the. izprptngj After everybody \nad satisfied their hunger and quenched their thirst,, the fun and frolic was resumed with renewed vigor' until the hour of our return was announced, much to the regret of the whole party. However, it nad to be so once more we boarded the car for Abbotsford, which we reached shortly after seven o'clock. The tired folks then dispersed, everyone agreeing that they had spent a very enjoyable and happy uay. BORN���������To.-.'Mr; and a daughter.

FRIDAY, JUNE 7 1912 The Fraser Valley as a whole is face,to face with a situation, tne seriousness of which cannot be overestimated. The future welfare of the community demands that the situation be coped with immediately and that the means employed shall be the best at the dis posal of the farmers and business* men of the whole" valley. Tlere in indisputable evidence, according tp a letter published elsewhere, of the fact that there is an organ- ' ized and. well planned movement in Vancouver, to discredit, not only the Valley but its products also Merchants are educating their customers to discriminate against jav products. American products are being given preference among the storekeepers. Incoming trains ate being met and the new settlers are apparently filled with fallacious statistics relative to the cost of our lands and difficulties attend, ���������ing the,ir cultivation. One would be led to believe that indiscriminate lying is the keynote, of .the 'means being employed in this unjustified attempt tp cripple "the- city of New Westminster by dibr crediting the large stretches of - rich farming lands surrounding it. Fourteen municipalities are included in the rich area which is being, discriminated against. These four, teen municipalities represent the wealthiest and most prosperous .farming community in the pro/: ince and include the richest available fruit country in the west; , Trains coming into Vancouver, are according to report, being met by representatives of the various realty firms who are interested in this policy of discriminating; these 0 ��������� - ��������� representatives number among ���������their ranks, men from all parts, of the world. The Italian is met by Italians, the'Englishman by .a lei- low countryman. Each .and all .of them claim to have a thorough knowledge of all sections of the province and it is recognised a- ���������, mong then* that the Fraser'Valley is reported" "as being the poorest section in the west; that lands are high in price and .;.unproductive when bought; that the . processes of cultivation cannot :be-employed excepting by those of great wealtk The result is not far to seek. The new settler is shifted to some iess desirable location; the Fraser Valley suffers and the Vancouver man is pleased. There is only one way to fight guile and that is with guile. Let them publish the necessary Jitera- ture to convey a true and intelligent impression of the actual conditions existing; let them appoint representatives to meet the incom ing trains and convey to the new comers the true facts relative to the Fraser Valley and its advantages for fruit growing and other, branches of farming. The cost will be small when spread among the whole community. A donation of twenty-five dollars a month for the next three months from each municipality, would handle the campaign successfully arffc would result in checking- the adverse impression which is being spread so rapidly by the Vancouver business men. In the meantime let the Fraser Valley show Vancouver that she is aware of die situation at present existing. Let the Vancouver wholesaler's feel .it the eft'd of each month; that the Fruser Valley merchants are paying them fewer and smaller cheques that the trade which they have, come to treat in such a cavalier manner is being taken to New Westminster or Victoria and they will quickly realize that the Fia- ser .Valley .is a live component part of the province of British Columbia. ST. STEPHEN'S GUILD CONCERT (From Fraser Valley Record) At the Imperial Hall on Friday evening last the ��������� ladies oT St. Stephen's Guild, Hatzic, gave their concert, the audience might certainly have been larger but what they lacked in numbers they made up for in enthusiasm. The Guild had engaged the services of Miss Lucy Webling, late of the Follies and Mr. Walter McRaye, who has appeared many times her������, and they were assisted by Miss Marlon French and Miss Grace PortsmouLk Program: .

The lady, to pacify the supposed lunatic,, insists that, she came in a. balloon drawn by swans, driven by a bronze cockatoo; and the gentleman, to keep up deception, declares he is general Booth, a great friend of William the-Conqueror. The absurity of the situation and the antics of the players kept the audience in a continual state of merriment. Miss French, both for her accompaniments and her piano selection, won favor by her.artistic rendering. Miss Grace Portsmouth sang with great feeting aiid good expression the old favorite.

THE MARKET. There was' a greater supply of buyers than merchandise at tne New Westminster market today albeit the offerings In most lines were fairly good, and poultry were decidedly plentiful. In the matter of prices, the outstanding features we're a . slight stiffening in the retail prices of meat,-already high, a very slight tailing off in the figures reached by chickens, and a temporry decrease in the price of potatoes. Other lines maintained last week's standard, the demand in all cases being equal to or great er than the supply. Flesh foods are still scarce, and only the fact that the maximum, price has apparently be������n reached prevented the keen demand; for the small offerings bringing about a further increase. Beef was prac tically nonexistent, and mutton auH pork were present only in small quantities, but there was a fairlyP good supply of veal, much of it of high quality.. Retail meats were more plentiful than last week and it ia evidence of, the demand that, in spite of this, the prices stiffened somewhat In the vegetable kingdom ��������� the most marked feature was a slight drop in the prices of potatoes., By the sack these sold as low as 1.6U,. while the very best specimens picked over and selected, could be bought for 2.00 per sack. Whoie-, sale, the prices averaged 32. Spring vegetables were scarce, both as to variety and quantity, being confined mainly to lettuce and spring onions. Eggs and butter were present In good quantities. The former retail maintained tho figure of last week. 35c, but wholesale advanced a notch selling as high as 30c. Butter was steady. ' Small as the supply of fish was, yet it contrasted favorably .with last week, when none at all were offered. There was a good ..variety, including salmon, halibut, her ring and, sturgeon". Poultry was a good supply and equalled the demand.. Broilers fetched easily 30c per lb, and other fowls from 18c to 19c live weight. Laying hens were a drug in the market and there was hardly any call. Ducks were sold at from '20 to 25c per pound and disposed of. in some transactions at 3.50 per dozen. . ;��������� Potatoes, per sack ' 1.60 Lo 32.00 Potatoes, per ton ������������������- ��������� : 32 Carrots, per sack -, 1.23 Beet9, per sack ��������� ,1.00������ Seed potatoes, per ton ��������� 27 to $30 Parsnips,, per sack 1.00 Lettuce, per bunch ; oc Onions, 2 bunches oc Rhubarb,, per bunch .'....-10c Eggs and Butter Eggs, retail, per dozen b5tf Eggs, wholesale ������������������������������-.������������������������������������- '28 to 30c Butter, retail, per lb ������������������������35c to 40c Honey per comb ��������� 2oc Poultry Poultry,'"live weight, lb 18c to 13c Laying hens, per doz. 9 to $15 Broilers,, per lb. : 30c Squabs, per., pair ; 60c Ducks, per lb.. 20c to 25c Wholesale Meat ' Beef, per lb :....'..:..��������� 8c to lOe Veal small.- ��������� --12c to 'l3c Mutton -lie to 12c.

Strictly,."first-class' in every respect. , The bar is stocked with.the best of wines,' ljquor:and cigars, One of the greatest marvels in connection with the changing seasons ls found in the .migration of birds which spond the winter season In South America and the nesting season In the Arctic circle. Different Bpecies of birds follow different routes of travel". The golden plover, which nests along the Arctic coast of North America, begins its trip southward by. a short run to the Labrador coaBt.. There it fattens for several weekB on abundant native fruits and then files across the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Nova Scotia. From this' point tho plover ub- ually takes a straight course of 2J400 miles, without pauBe or reBt, along the east side of the Atlantic ocean to, South America. . If tempestB arise the birds may take temporary shelter on the New England coast, or may reBt for a few.days in the-Bermudas, or at the lesser Antilles;^ 600 ,- miles from the mainland of South America.' TheBe are, however, merely'emergency stop- overa to be resorted to only In the case of storms. The ��������� plover, nfter wintering in Argentine finds Its" way back to the Arctic by: an entirely dif feront route travels across the northwest of South America and the Gulf ,of Mexico to the, coast of, Louisiana; ' Thence it moves up the Mississippi Valley and by early June is again iu the nesting place .on the Arctic coast. Most of the other feathered migrants in their Journeys north'ahd south take a land route all ��������� the way save across the- comparatively narrow Gulf of Mexico. Thousands of birds perish from the storms during the journey, while others kill themselves by dashing against lighthouses. A red light.or a rapidly flashing one will repel the birds, but_������ JLtftadjy .whj.te .]fght. .n.l/",glgg storm and log, proverf irresistible. From whatever direction- birds approach such a light they turn to windward, and then, flying against the wind, seek the object of their Infatuation. The larger part do not strike with sufficient force to-Injure themselves, but, like great moths, they flutter In and out of the light's rays, .md finally settle on the platform or framework to "await the abatement of the storm or the coming of. sufficient daylight to enable them once more to take their direction. , Speeding "P the Telegraph Service Anything that short-cuts communi- "atlon quickens business. The telegraph companies- have recently introduced two., speed-giving improvements. Belvidere Brooks, the new general manager of the Western tin'on Telegraph Company, recently completed 'irrangements with the telephone companies ' whereby mesages may be lictated over a telephone,to the nearest tolgraph office. The telegramn are charged up on the monthly telephone bills and collected .by the telephone company; or-If one la using a public station, the, cost of (lie. message Is added to the fee for toll. The new "lettergram" transmits fifty words at the old ten-word rate. The distinction from tho telegram-is <^at lettergrams are transmitted only ���������it night and are delivered In the ���������nornlng by telephone, by messenger or by mail. Since this Innovation, the On Its return Journey. It J lompanies have had to Increase their operators in every large city and let- rergrams bid fair to supplant to some extent, the use of private codes, so -educing the liability to misinterpreted information or instructions.' The-- lauadaliou . of..a,, ^od - or. had sef of teeth Is usually laid In childhood, and it should be the duty of every parent to see that the children are started In the world with as good teeth as nature has given them. The teeth are, easier to work on, then, and a few precautions In earlv life will prevent much misery and expense later oh. Dentists, who have made a study of the matter, claim that -the temperament is indicated by the teeth, and probably it is so. as no two persons have teeth exnetlv alike. Very white, sharp, pointerl ieeth.��������� like a squirrel's, are said to indicate a vixenish temner^and a malicious deposition, while' strong, even teeth, with ,a yellowish cast, are a sign of a long-lived person. Other signs are numerous, and might make an interesting key to character study.

At ai meeting' of the Seismologlcal ���������Yssociation, at The Hague, Prof. 'V'eichert asserted that his studies of 'he varrying velocity of- earthquake ���������remors passing through the interior ���������f the globe led- to the conclusion hat the earth consists of a central -.ore of iron or steel about 5,580 miles n diameter surrounded with -a stony ���������hell 930 miles in thickness. Between the outer solid rind and he inner layer of rock covering the 'letallic core he thinks there Is a lay- ������r of liquid or plastic material lying .i little less than twenty miles below he surface of the earth. New York to Paris by Aeroplane Recent successful flights by aeroplane from Paris to Madrid, and from Paris to Rome, have .'led the Spring- "eld Republican to suggest that the lext venture.in this direction may be ���������a flight from "New York to Paris by vay'of Behring'. Straits and Siberia, [f such a run^ Is .undertaken it will ->robably, be by relays of aeroplanes with one-covering the first stage in he journey, a. second the next, and so in. It is pointed out that in the old :lays of the "pony express" across tbe j^reat,. plains of the United States, before the building of railroads, some -emarkable records were made by fe- ays of riders, but that a team ">f aviators could do better still. < Friendship of Hooks To fall In love with a good book Is one, of the greatest events that can befall us. It is to have a new influence pouring itself into our life, a new teacher to insphc us, a new friend to v-~ uv 0.t sl-lc always, who, when life grow;-- l.prr'-"- rnd weary, will take us into his wider and calmer and higher world: Whether it be biography,' introducing "������ . to some humble life-made great,by duty done; or history,' opening vistas into the movements and destinies of nations i:.:;t have passed away; or poetry, making music of all the' common things around us, and filling the fields and the sk.'es and1 the work ot the city and the cottage with eternal meanings ��������� whether It be these, or rell^ous books or science, no one can become the friend even of one good book without being made wiser and better. Cause of Rheumatism Many physicians believe that rheu<- matism Is the result of over-feeding, followed by putrefactive changes in the foodstuffs in the alimentary- canal; that the action of certain hae terla produces specific toxic (poison) substances which, when introduced into the blood, cause a deviation from the normal oxidation process, thus causing the condition that ia designated rheumatic, In the majority of Instances It is probably due to eating too much of the vegetable class of foods; in other cases it ia the result of eatkig too much,,meat In Filling the Crab-Claw Xarket tho Original Owner is More than Obliging to the Man.

The olaws are cooked, aud people nibble at them, more for fun than for sustenance, just as Russians nibble sunflower seeds. What becomes of the rest of the crustacean, especially, if he is a crawfish, of his tail? As a matter of fact, the crabfish has no part in ' the business. The claws are taken from a salt water crab, which lives along the shores of Morocco, Spain, and Portugal. Each little crab, with its one little mate, has a cave for a hqn:e, and, adopting the Eastern estimate of the other' sex, he usually keeps his- wife shut inside the cave, meanwhile stay- ���������ju: ahout .ti_e thrz���������2: L'l 1 "-��������� ���������- A making a brave show w.ih hfs big claws.

Either the crab is Btalking up and down seeking what he may devour, and thus showing ��������� whether he has fine Hpwf. or he is still at home, and the size of the doorway indicates the size of the householder. In one case the fisherman cuts off his retreat by blocking his front door with mud; in the otlier case he digs him out. Anyway, he deprives him of his pincers and sets him at liberty, to grow EC*ne more. Right here appears the quaintest feature of the whole affair; for, the the claw with him, and romps off home without it. pincers are not torn away from the crab at all. Instead, be -resents them to the fisherman, perhaps even with his compliments. It is a fact easily demonstrable that the crab can detach his claw by muscular effort, thus making no hemorrhage, but leaving the stump in such a condition that a new claw is soon grown. The fisherman simply takes tbe crab by the hand, whereupon it lets go, leaves the claw with him, and romps off home without it. To Trap rr.: -r:j-u.

A special meeting of the council was held on dTuesday afternoon, the 4th inst, at Merryfield's storfc, to confer with Mr. McNeil of the Western Canada Power Co., Reeve (Merryfield, Councillors Lehman,' Ware, Bell and Roberts were present, with Mr. Gibson clerk. In opening Mr. McNeil Btaled that what the company wantod was a by-law passed by .the people, not an agreement made with the council, everything would be above board; The clerk distribuL- , ed the framework of a light and power by-law which he had drawn up on similar lines.to those of the ' neighboring municipalities (_w\ih debatable parts left open for tne council to decide upon. One of which is how far and from whicn spot will the Company make the ; necessary connections of installation to customers free of charge. Mr. McNeil suggests y2 mile froin Matsqui Village or any spot' where in there are 15 people who will, contract to use the light or powir within % mile of the lines of the Company. By Coun. Bell. 'If the Council . do grant a franchise will the Co. allow anything for the upkeep of roads wherein the poles are placed?' By the Reeve. 'The Council by allowing the Co: the right over the roads, for which the Council have bought the right, of way, should have something for allowing the Co. to use the roads. Mr. McNeil replied that the coming into the municipality by the Company with light and po������ver was worth a lotf'to the' inhabitants and. would bring in more'settlers than if those conveniences were not there, but the company " would pay towards the upkeep ot roads that carried power through the municipality to places beyond. By the"Reeve. 'When would th������ settlers in Matsqui Prairie who had signed contracts artd had theii houses already wired, get the light in'? Mr. McNeil said "I will get into that right away, but they must have patience till we have got some of the big things off our hands." Mr. McNeil took. with him the skeleton by-law which he will return wi-.h his amendments so that the council can get to work with the first reading of the proposed by-law. The company will pay for all costs of the agreement with the council and all expenses of the by-law. With regard to the length of time the franchise should run. "Mr. McNeil while admitting that 40 years was the general length of time he would suggest the council make it 50 years. On some demur being raised Mr. McNeil said that at Mission Municipality, where the council had proved the hardest bargain drivers of any municipality he had yet handled, they had granted the company 50 years. There was one thing he wanted the council to grant him that is permission to erect poles througn a part of the municipality to carry power to Clayburn for which the company were agreeable to make an annual grant. After some discussion as to the amount it was mo.ved by Coun. Ware, seconded by Coun. Lehman, that the Western Canada Power Co. be granted permission to erect and operate a 60,000 volt line on the Glenmore road, south from the Fraser, to Township line road, thence east Lo Riverside road, thence southerly along Huntingdon road to Abbotsford on condition that the company give an annual grant of 400 yearly for the upkeep of the a- bove roads to be paid on March 1st, and to be continued until the ,pole line is removed, the poles to he 8 feet from the property, and this agreement to be embodied in the by-law.���������������������������Carried. ��������� With prosperity in store, are Assured to all June brides who have their wedding cakes made ?it The Abbotsford -Bakery ALBERT LEE, PROPRIETOR i-nnrrrrxacs ��������� V', Removal Notice ��������� ^. v ;.
