Satchell strenuously objecting to their adoption on ac- countf'of a'motion therein authorizing the Council to purchase a strip of right of way to connect with the Pa: cine Highway, which the Provincial Government is building throughout the Municipality.- He contended the Council had no right to purchase it, as the Government .would- build the road anyway. ' The Reeve explained to the Councillor that the Government had no power to purchase right of way, and it was up to the Council to do so, or in all probability the road work would be stopped. The discussion lasted for some time; finally the following motion was passed: Bell-Melander���������That the minutes of the meeting held May 10 be adopted as read. All the Councillors0 voting for, with the exception of Coun. Satchell. The minutes of the meeting held May 31 were then adopted with a correction that Coun.

Bell-Frederickson���������That the Clerk write to Gus Foreman re fence on Halbert Road between him and E. Willman. Messrs. Small and Smith, of the lumbian Hospital, New Wot-Lminstor, addressed tlie Council on behalf of a grant, for that institution. Mr. Small explained that the hospital was a munii'ipal Institution, and as the former bui/.ding had outgrown its usefulness th;/ present new building'was found necessary. The building when completed would cost in,the neishu^-hooc!- of $250,000 or ������300,000. Of this the Government'gave $100,000, while the city of New Westminster had' subscribed $130,000;" but there still remained a deficit of some $30,- 000. This,, the speaker hoped, wouia be made up- by tho different Municipalities. He had Interviewed several throughout the Valley, and in every case' met with good success. Mr, Small also felt'sure that the Matsqui Council would see their way clear to literally help this worthy project. Ihe speaker also laid particular stress on the beneficial advantages of the training'school .for nurses which is operated in connection with the hospital. . Mr. Smith spoke briefly on the question, and stated that were it not for the heavy taxes in'- New Westminster, many of the/citizens would have subscribed' more liberally. ������������������ ' ' Rcevo"'Mcrryfieid', on behalf of-'the' 'Council, 'thanked the delegates for their attendance, and the Council wculd attend to the matter as soon as possible.

The Premier, in reply to a memorial presented urging that a scionLific agriculturist be appointed to travel throughout tho valley and organize tho farmers into selling communities, advising them as to the most profitable crops for any year, and uniting tlie local producing centres Lo one central station for better distributing results, "stated that.it had always been the volicy of the government to endeavor to assist the farmer as much as possible, without at the same time hindering legitimate trade. The substantial "prosperity of the country, the government recognized , lay in the profitableness of agriculture. .As Lo the successful efforts made to reorganize the fruit-growing interests of the Interior, selling centres being established throughout the whole of the Okanagan Valley, to which reference had been made in the memorial. Sir. Richard said he could see no reason why a similar move could not be made in the Fraser. Valley. ��������� A plan would be laid before the Agrictural Department without delay. ,The memorial read by Mr. C. H.' Stuart-Wade, secretary of the New Westminster Board oft Trade, set forth how the farmers of the valley could benefit from a complete and comprehensive organization, and by the adoption of some plan that would bring the producer and the consumer into a more mutually profitable relation. ( With, the establishment of cold storage and re-packing facilities at a convenient centre this could be done. While the Okanagan co-operative organizations had been established for the selling and marketing of fruit the conditions in the Fraser Valley were concerned with mixed farming, and by the same organizing arrange- (juanLilios causing a slight, drop in the high prices of last week.

The delegates also set forth the successful operations of the New Westminster city market during the past 22 years, and how it had been of essential benefit* to all classes, but that now it required extension and its overations organized on a more scientific basis.

The representatives of Maple Ridge and Coquitlam, who expressed themselves fully in accord with the movement were unable to attend. THE MARKET Briskness of trade .was again Lhe outstanding characteristic of the regular weekly market at New Westminster. Probably the l-argest attendance of the year was gathered and vendors were lushed off their feet attending to the wants of purchasers. Poultry was the centre of attraction and an abundant supply of the feathered tribe was offered for sale.

A hen faces the light usually when digging in the straw for ber feed, and the result is that the Jitter works ba'clr Thero are numerous drinking devices ou the market, many of which are valuable. A large number of farmers, however, use either a small pail or pan. A low pail makes a very convenient water disb, as the bail enables it to be readily, handled with one hand. A pan as shown in the cut also makes a convenient watering dish. Care should be taken not to use watering devices of any kind which have parts that cannot be readily cleaned. A dirty drinking dish is frequently a source of disease and should never be permitted in any poultry house. SALE The. 67d employes of th"e International Harvester company, who walked out of the twine mills March 21 at Auburn, N. Y., have since rejected every proposition made to them to return to work. Further effort to bring about to a settlement has been abandoned by the board of mediation. By a vote of 41 to 12, the assembly of the California legislature turned down a resolution to invite the governors of Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Arizona to come to Sacramento to confer with the lawmakers and Secretary of State William J. Bryan on the question of anti-alien land legislation.

"Why that would be the Latin cave-beware." Hunter smiled cheerfully. "You'd better stick to the law, Mr. Knox," he said from the door. "We don't use Latin In the detective business." Plattsburg was not the name of the capital, but It will do for this story. The, state doesn't matter'either. We will say that my home city Is Manchester. I live with my married brother, his wife and two boys. Fred is older than I am and he is an exceptional1 brother. On the day, he came home from his wedding trip 'I went down with my traps on a hansom In accordance with a prearranged schedule. Fred and Edith met rue Inside the door. "Here's your latchkey,' Jack," Fred said .as he shook hands. "Only one stipulation-remember we are strangers in the vicinity and try' to get home before the neighbors are up. We have our reputations to think of." "There is no hour for breakfast," Edith said as she kissed me. "You have, a bath of your own and don't smoke in lhe drawing room." Fred was always a lucky devil. I had been there now for six years. I had helped to raise two young Knox- es���������bully youngsters, too (the oldest one could use boxing gloves when he was four)���������and the finest collie pup in our end of the state. 1 wanted to raise other things. The boys liked pets, but Edith didn't care for animals. Ou the day that Margery Fleming came to me about her father 1 went home in a state of mixed emotion. Dinner was not a quiet meal. 'Fred and I talked politics generally, and as Fred,was on one side and I on the other there always was an argument on, "What about Fleming?" I asked aft last when Fred bad ��������� declared ��������� that In these days of corruption no matter what the government was.be was "for- ninsf'it. "Hasn't he been frightened into reform?'' "Bad egg.1' he said, jabbing his pota- to as if it had been a politician, "and there's no way to improve a bad egg- except to hold your nose. That's what the public is doing-holding it's nose." "Hasn't he a daughter?" 1 asked casually. "Yes-a lovely girl, too," Edith assented. "It is his only redeeming aual- , Hy." , "Fleming Is a rascal, daughter or no !_ daughter," Fred persisted. "Ever "-since ,' he aud his gang got poor Butler into , trouble and then left him to kill trim- , self as the only way out I have felt ��������� that there was .something coinine to all I of them-Hansen. Schwartz and the j rest. 1 saw Fleming on the street to |" day." I "What!" I exclaimed, almost Jump , ing out of my chair. i Fred surveyed me quizzically. I "'Hasn't he a daughter?"' ne quot- . ed. "Yes. I saw bim, Jack, this very i day 'In au unromantic four wheeler, t und he was swearing at a policeman " ��������� "Where was It?" "Cbestuut and Onion. His cab had been struck by a car and badly damaged, but the geutleman refused to get out. No doubt you could get the de tails from the corner man." "Look here, Fred." I said earnestly. "Keep that to yourself, will you? And you too, Edith? It's a queer story,and I'll tell yon some time." As we left the dining room Edith put her band on my shoulder. "Don't get mixed up with those people. Jack," she advised. "Margery's a dear girl, but ber father practically killed Henry Butler, and Henry Butler married my cousin/' "You needn't make it a family affair." I protested. "I have only seen the girl once." But Edith smiled. "I know what I know," she said. ��������� "How extravagant of you to send Bobby that enormous nobby horse!" "The boy has to learn to ride acme* time. In four years he can have a pony, and I'm going to see that he has It. He'll be eight by that time." Edith laughed. .. "Io four years!" she said. "Why, In rour years youu oe rorty, jacit: Aim it's a mighty unattractive man who gets past forty without being sought and won by some woman. You'll be buying"��������� "I will be thirty-nine," I said, with dignity, "and if I marry-If I do��������� IS will be some girl who turns and runs the other way every time she sees me.'' "The oldest trick In the box,". EditH scoffed. "What's that thing Fred's always quoting: 'A woman Is like a shadow; follow her, she files; fly from her,.she follows.'" . "Upon my word I" I said Indignantly*' "And you are a woman J" "I'm different," she retorted. "I'm1 only a wife and mother." \ In the library Fred got up from hla desk and gathered up his papers.

As he slammed the door Into hla' workroom Edith picked up her skirts and scuttled after him. "How dare yon run away like that?'. she called. "You. promised me"- The door closed behlod ber. , I went over and spoke through the panels. '. " 'Follow her. she files; fly from her, she follows.' Oh. wife and mother!" I called. '" "For heaven's sake, Edith/" Fred's voice rose Irritably. "If you and Jack are going to talk all evening go and sit on his knee and let me alone. The way you two.flirt under my nose Is a scandal. Do you hear that, Jack?" "Good night. Edith." 1 called. "I have left you a kiss on the upper left hand panel of the door. And 1 want to ask you one more question. What if I fly from the woman and she doesn't follow?" "Thank your . lucky stars," Fred called In a muffled voice. I had some work to do at the office, and half past 8 that night found me at my desk. But my mind strayed from the papers before me. After a useless ,-ffnrt to concentrate I gave it up as usi-iess, and by 10 o'clock I waa ��������� on the street again, my evening wasted, the papers In the libel case of the Star against the Eagle untouched and 1 the victim of an uneasy apprehension that took me. almost without; volition, to the neighborhood of the Fleming house, for it had occurred to me that Miss Fleming might not have left the house that day. as she had promised, might still be there, liable to another Intrusion by the mysterious Individual who had a key to the house. It was a relief, consequently, when J reached Its corner to find no lights in the building. The girl had kept her word. Assured of that, I looked at the house curiously. It was one of the largest in the city, not wide, but running far back along the side street A small yard with a low Iron fence and a garage completed the property. The street lights left the back of the house in shadow, and as 1 stopped in the shelter of the garage I was positive that I heard some one working with a rear window of the empty house. A moment, later the sounds ceased and muffled footsteps came down the cement walk. The Intruder made no at- tempt to open the iron gate, and against the light 1 saw him put a leg over the low fence, follow it up with the other and start up the street still wltb peculiar nolselessness of stride. He was a short, heavy shouldered fellow in a cap, and bis silhouette showed a orodicious lenetb of arm.

The grievance lasted several hours, tho controversy being principally between Coun. Melander and Mr. Campbell. The latter enumerated the various points at issue. I-1& contended that the foreman, Mr. Ber-- ger, lacked experience as a road builder, that he was showing favoritism in ��������� employing outside residents of the Municipality, some even being American citizens, and cited the case where Mr. Helgerson, who was an American citizen, had been engaged to handle powder at an increase of 50 cents a day, while the speaker had used the powder the day previous at the regular wage. Mr. Campbell stated emphatically that he ��������� had nothing whatever against the work of Mr. Helgerson, as he was a competent man; but it was the principle involved that he objected to, as he thought ratepayers should have the first choice. Coun. Melander explained the' matter, saying that it was a hard matter to get a man to handle the powder, and he had instructed the foreman to hire the most competent man. In regard to the hiring of aliens, he had given the foreman strict instructions "when the work started not to hire any if avoidable. After prolonged discussion, it was decided that as soon as the municipal, money was spent the work would be turned over to the Government, who would appoint the foreman for the completion of the' work.
