The minutos of the meeting which was hold on- May IGth wore amended by striking out the words "and the new account will be carried over" on Folio "IH. The minutes were a- dopted as then amended. Communications received From T. P. Neolands, suggesting the desirability of having the road running north and south past the N. W. 1-4 of Sec. 29, Tp. 16 made passable for vehicles, also having the work which was started last year on the road running east and west completed. He contended that the small amount of improvements spent on the roads contiguous to his property was out of proportion to the large a- mount of taxes which he paid yearly and that this was manifestly unfair and directly contrary to the spirit of taxation. The clerk was instructed to reply .that the road in use in-the immediate .vicinity was not built altogether on the line and that a further expenditure of money on the road as so located was not good pol-' icy. Extensive logging operations are- being carried on on the adjoining lands,- and when they are comr plete the matter of the proper location of the road ,and; its condition will be considered in ��������� conjunction -with-the traffic'thereon'.- ,. .-,-��������� .-_.^^ . .

L. 356 adjoining this 'quarter section on the east. To do so it would be impossible to fell the timber without obstructing the road which runs through this timber in the direction of Clayburn and they asked the con- sent of the council to close thiej road for a few days while they would' be so engaged. ���������'- McCallum-EJlioit, the the request of the Abbotsford Timber arid Trading Company, Limited re the cloning of the road for a short time for the purpose of felling the timber on the .maintain two roads so closely parallelling each other. He contended that this road was superior to the road which went over the hill; also'that he was unable 'to gain access to thrj later road bocauso of the debris which he claimed had been deposited on his land when an appropriation of $200.00 had been' expended at the junction of this road with* the Aberdeen road. He gave notice that if fiction was not taken at the meeting he would be compelled to- seek legal advice-and have the debris removed-and tho road opened up. The couhcil decided to view the premises as a body on Friday June 11th, ct 11 o'clock, assembling at the Pear- donville school house and at the same time to examine into the advisability or otherwise of making a capital expenditure in the Boundary road from the.

Melander-McCallum' that- whereas are you going to ship HASPS IN CARLOAD LOTS? Thefollo.wing letter addressed to Mr. E. Osborne, the energetic secretary of the Fraser 'Valley Growers will" be of-interest to the raspberry growers of the district. It would appear that it is the best scheme to ship'in carload lots in order, to keep "the markets clear and:the prices up. The glutting of the market certainly puts the fruit prices a- way down, and the shipping in carload lots appears to be the only system of regulating the markets. Good prices and quick returns are what the growers are after and the MISSION MUNICIPALITY WINS AGAINST C. P. R. C. P. R. Made Appeal In- Asssessment Of Mission Municipality on the Half of O. P. R. Bridge The "C. P. R. appealed against the Mission Municipality -assessing , the half of the C; P. R. bridge, claiming that either all or none could be assessed.

Last' year the shipping in' carlots was a great success in many, ways, and seeing that it was the first year should be very .encouraging to all���������even those who do not belong to the Growers association.

"I expected to have heard from you' before this as to what you expect to do with regard to raspberries in carlots this season.

W. 1-4 of S. 1, T. 14, so as to connect the Coghlan road with the Matsqui-Mt. Lehman road Mr. D. B. McDonald addressed the 'council, in support of the petition, stating that this road was easy y ol construction and would prove a better outlet for'the residents adjacent to the Coghlan road than the road which leads to the Mt. Lehman road The reeve stated that while he did not assume any legal responsibility for the opening up of this road by, reason of the existence of his subdivision; he did consider that he was morally responsible because the owners of other subdivisions are now called upon by the council to.open the subdivision roads. H'e further. stated that he had, made financial arrangements Avith one of the purchasers of a block in his subdivision to do the necessary work. ' From S Campbell complaining that he -felt an injustice .was being perpetrated against himself and neighboring residents inasmuch as the road which they most frequently us- ed__:the Boundary Commission Trail opened by the Federal Government��������� has been blocked by a large cedar tree for considerable time in spite of the fact that attention had been called to this obstruction. The reason given for this non-removal was that the council did not feel inclined to they were only able to collect from the council at the rate of $1 per day whereas the actual cost of maintenance of an idividual patient in the hospital is little short of $2 per day. 'From A. Frey re the proposed sub division of the fraction S. E. 1-4 of S. 15,. T. 13. Mr. Frey. who was present, was given assurance that the council would not insist that the half road allowance would be required on that portion of the eastern boundary north of the diversion of the road from the Section line." On this understanding he stated,that he would proceed with his subdivision At the request of the council he signed a statement to the effect that the $95' which" he had received some years ago from he council was in payment of improvements taken and for fencing. From" A.' F. Welch and fifty-five others being a petition to build and repair the Huntingdon road from the N. W. 1-4 of S. 2. T. 13 east to connect with Sumas municipality. Mr. C.

Its immediate effect would be to bring in upon the Alberta market some live to ten cars of Puy- ailup raspberries, which the consuming public would have to absorb in ach.'iiion to all of our own stock, and would certainly result in disaster. "Bear in mind that, if it had not been for underloading and'the arrival of cars in bad condition last year, both of these conditions that one might reasonably hope to avoid after a year's experience your berries in spite of' all other handicaps, would have .returned that very figure that I mentioned to you as possible in.my first letter to you on the subject. "If we can possibly keep your own berries from slaughtering the Cal-. gary market, we should be able to maintain very close to the $1.90 mark for you at point of shipment, "Please write me fully arid tell me what we may expect. "I suppose you have heard that the Gordon Head strawberry growers are shipping to the prairie in carlots, and have been getting excellent prices, a net F. O. B. of $1.90 to $2.22. And of course, they are doing this under the same handicap of high minimum that you are laboring under. Take my word for it, the carlot business will win out in spile of handicaps. "Another point worth considering is this. I have lately had a long talk with Mr. Stockton of the Nash organization, and I think that I have convinced him that the only way to hold you people is to give you something really good in the way of prices.,I feel satisfied that, especially with me at their elbow during the time your stuff is moving, you will get every cent that is coming to you Yours very truly, J.

FORMER RESIDENT LAYS DOWN LIFE AT THE BATTLEFRONT (From Fraser Valley Record) Mr. D. Lamont, one of the successful growers of Cedar Valley, says he shipped strawberries on May 11th to Calgary and received $6.25 a crate for the shipment. This is easily the best price we have heard received for strawberries from this district, and there have been some handsome prices paid in the past for first-class fruit. He shipped his first raspeberries on June 4th. The box factory is running daily at the Canyon City Lumber company mill. , Penticton has a total assessment of over $4,000,000. It is a city. Sergt. A. Fermor of the 7th battalion of the 104th writes: "I very much regret writing" to tell you of poor old "Fergy's" death (W. X Ferguson). You will probably see a report of it before this reaches you but I felt I must write to one ,or two of his old friends. [ I- was not present when the poor old chap met his death but they all tell me he died-like a good fellow he always was. In fact it was a hero's death for he went out into the open to help a wounded comrade" Mr. Ferguson will be remembered as a bar tender at the old Commercial Hotel and later at the Abbotsford. He was one of the first to volunteer for the front when the war broke out, and was one of the happiest'of the happy bunch of boys who passed through Mission City and wished to be remembered to all in Abbotsford. "Fergy" was one. of nature's young noblemen. He died fighting for his country, a willing volunteer. The W. C. T.-.'U. meeting on Tuesday last at the home of Mrs. J F Boyd was a most succesfui one. Reports of delegates from provincial convention were given by Mrs. F. J. Tapp of Huntingdon and Mrs. Ham of Clayburn.; Mrs. Trethewey also brought back to the local union much encouragement for the work of the future in the outlined plans of the convention. Mrs. Boyd with her usual hospitality entertained all present to tea on the lawn. The next meeting of the union will be held in the Presbyterian church on Tuesday, July 6th, when it is hoped a full attendance of members will be present.

Loveday, Dominion Fruit Inspector for Vancouver will at this time of the year prove interesting reading especially as ��������� Mr. 'Loveday is well known to many of .our readers, and some value his opinion very highly. The paper reads: The question of packing fruit is one of great importance to the grower, if he grows No. 1 fruit he must ���������use a No. ' pack. ' This is demonstrated every day on Water' Street where you see fruit from local growers being "jobbed off" at a heavy ���������discount because-of the inferior? pack ,though the quality of the goods is " excellent. -" -. ��������� There are three reasons why first grade fruit should be properly pack- tile 4-basket crate for Italian prunes the market is full of the fruit packed in peach boxes, a cheaper package When ordering peach boxes for use for prunes order 4" ends with 4" sides otherwise you may get 3-1-2" sides, as used for peaches, and have considerable leakage and damage done to the fr.uit at the edges of the boxes, When buying 4-basket crates avoid getting baskets with too much bevel to them they are hard to pack. The right time to pick1 fruit should be studied by the grower, it is sheer waste to pick either too early or too late; the following rules, if observed, will lessen the shrinkage Cherries should be picked with the stein on, no blemished fruit should be put into the picking buckets, and orchard boxes not filled too full. Plums and. Prunes should have the stems intact and be carefully handled so as to retain bloom, they should be hard ripe but matured Never allow boxes filled with fruit to stand in the sun. Fruit that is rained on while in the ripening stages has its keeping qualities impah-ed. Cherries, Plums and Prunes will ripen quickly and start to decay quickly if packed after being rained on. An hoest pack and giving "full ^measure and running over" is the best weapon to meet the competition of outsiders in our markets, and un we can give that we have no-right to expect the support of the con suming public.

Strawberries were scarce. There were few in sight., although the demand was somewhat brisk for crate lots. Ten cents a bpx was the price asked. Cherries, ,red currants, black currants and gooseberries were much in evidence There was a good demand for goose berries,' but little call for the currants ( which were quoted at 15 tf a pound. Butter for the first time in many weeks, dropped from the standard of 40-J to 35������ and although some persistent vendors held out for the higher figure they sold at rare intervals. Three pounds for a dollar was also quoted by some. Eggs lluctuated from 25^ to &0������ retail, and hovered around 23^ wholesale. There were fewer, eggs in evidence than usual a&d wholesale dealers fail ed to secure their usual quantities. r" The chicken section was once again the busiest-corner of the market. If anything there wero more birds offered than usual and despite the big drain from Fraser Valley centres of the past few months the supply seems unimpaired. Thirteen and fourteen cents per' pound for hens, 10^ for roosters and 18<������ to 2 0tf for broilers according to size, were the prevailing prices. Small pigs, generally shown in small quantities, flooded the market and trading was quite brisk in the young porkers, which sold all the way from $1.50 to $3.00 each. The meat section showed the usual lines, with a larger supply of beef than usual. Pork took a drop of half a cent and mutton which was scarcer than usual, dropped one cent on the pound. Cherries were offered by almost all of the regular vendors and the price ranged from 5 to 10������ per lb although the demand for fruit- was slight. Ten pound boxes went begging at 50tf, the quality of the fruiit having been somewhat impaired by recent rains.

CALGARY MARKET REPORT Calgary, June 14th.���������The demand for berries has been very good. All really fine stock selling readily while some off color and little dirty, have been hard ..to movie. People want berries for'-canning which will hold the market steady. What few raspberries were in sold freely. Monday's arrivals were heavy in Calgary unfortunately very few going to. Edmonton or Medicine Hat. and Calgary getting 82 rasps to Edmonton 3. . This is more than Calgary trade would take at $3.00 on.Monday, necessitating carrying over quite a lot till Tuesday. Had 30 of them, been sent to Edmonton and 15 to Medicine Hat the entire lot would have been retailed to the public on Monday, leaving all markets hungry on Wednesday. Shipments made on the night train are, on the Calgary, Edmonton, Medicine Hat markets exactly the same time and even if. the express is a trifle more to those places the divid: ing them up will hold all markets steady and higher longer. Then there are so many small points shipping Calgary that'it is difficult to get good distribution unless through the heavy shipping points of Mission and Hatzic. Prices should range very good this season if we caii only get good distribution. S. J.
