It was explained that owing to survey troubles this deal was liable to fall through and the letter was laid over till the regular meeting of the council. Iteports regarding the Skouge road slated that on the north extension the present right of way was more iu the public interest than the proposed alteration would be, and that; thoSkougc road south needs grading: The report regarding the north part of the road was adopted and it was decided to have the grading done to the south part. Coun. Melander was authorized to spend $150 on the Peardonville road south of the Hill-Tout place and Coun. Phinney was granted a further appropriation of $200 for the County Line road east. D. Coombs' tender for logging stumping and grading up to a 20- inch crown, was accepted, and the clerk was instructed to write to Mrs. Bo weft to move her fence if Mr. Coombs found it in his way. The clerk was instructed Lo write Smith & Hulcheson demanding a deposit of $150 to guarantee repairs to three crossings that firm had opened across the Bradncr road, without permission of the council. Tho clerk was also instructed to write to Charles Little, notifying him to keep his bull off the public highway.

(From the Chilliwack Progress) Mr. K. M. Munson, district fruit inspector for the lover mainland, returned on Sunday from a tour of the district. The crops generally states P.Ir-. Munson, will be light, due - to cold weather and strong, winds. In Mission' and Hatzic some trouble is expected in. obtaining pickers. The raspberries in the Mission and Hatzic districts this year will bo light crops, owing to the radical changes in the temperature during the winter and the strong winds, the crop will probably be reduced from ten to twenty per cent, the result the cell structure In the new canes being broken down to such .an extent as to cause, dwarfing of tho fruit laterals. The strawberry outlook is excellent for the Chilliwack district and the production should bo normal or.bet? ter. The uplands of Mission district are badly affected with the strawberry weevil which will cut down the production considerably. However, the lowland strawberry areas of Mission and Hatzic will balance this and an averago crop is indicated. The weevil prefers the warm soil of tho uplands and is not found to the same extent in the cooler low lying lands. Blackberries throughout the lower mainland are heavily in bloom and the crop promises to be normal. Loganberries through Mission and Hatzic show indications of an excellent yield where the canes were permitted to lie on tho ground during tho winter, when thoy gave protection to the rootB from tho cold weather Cherries will be a very light crop due particularly to the cold -weather during the blooming or pollination period and the incomplete fertilization through the shortage of bees during that time. Plums, pears and prunes-will suffer, from the same cause. It was yet too early for Mr. Munson to form an opinion on the apples The bloom was very heavy but cold weather prevailed throughout the blooming se ason and'may have affected them similarly with the other tree fruits. Indications point to,, good prices, says the fruit inspector. . The McMonom'y's and Oopgan's motored to White Hock on Thursday.

PUDDLING "HOOTCH" IS COSTLY Two residents of the district will for some lime keep away from any "hootch" for some time, that' is if being stung once is any warning. It appears that "hootch" was being taken across'the line, which is a very good line, unless one is caught at it. They were caught and it is reported that it cost one of them about $100 in fines besides his lawyer's fees'mul the other $250 and 30 days in jai.l Being a first offence they were let off light and for the same reason this paper is not giving any names.

Will Alcock, the flying man, take a place in the school history with such men as Columbus, Drake, Fulton and others. Tho only way to settle the strike would be to pass a law making it compulsory that on a certain day��������� say, August 1st, 1919, to have all wages above a certain minimum, say above $5.00'per day, reduced ten per cent., and at the same time all connected with the high cost of living' to be reduced' twenty-five per cent.,.the latter to be retroactive on all goods purchased from the large wholesale houses during the sixty days previous to August 1st. When it was found how this worked out a further reduction could be made if thought advisable���������the object be ing to bring the h. c. of 1. down to normal. Collective Bargaining The Columbian: Collective- bargaining continues to be a much debated term. . When men wax eloquent in defence of the principle it is well to have a clear conception of what each variety of collective bargaining means. The first sort comprlnends tho oj-.cn discussion of all the workers in o certain-specified industry, by means of a get together committee equally representing both sides. It is a form that ia everywhere commended. The second form is much wider in its scope, It is based on the federation of all unions, in any way related to a group of industries dealing with SMivlar products. The Metal Trades organization is cited as an example. All metal worl- ing unions have a "central council ���������vhich undertakes to deal directly with employees who have disputes wvih their men. This council may also represent unions which have no direct' relation with the- plums ,af- iccte-l by llio unrest. H ha*; bee;, jioinle d out that there'are employer-; who, desirous of treating with their men fairly, sec in the interference of such a central council, wider than allied trades and representing unions none of whose members are in their employ, an objectionable situation. They are willing to bargain with .unions whose members they employ, but., they are unwilling to accept dictation of outsiders., They favor collective bargaining-No. I, hut oppose collective bargaining No. 2. The. third sort of collective bargaining, as put forward, in the Toronto and Winnipeg strikes, is thus described by the Toronto Times. "All the unions elect central committee with power to call out workers of all kinds, unless employers having' difiiculty with their men accept tlie rulings of this central organization. Such a commitce Lakes- no cognizance of agreements made by any union with the'employers. It seeks to dictate to all employers at tho expense of the community" The Toronto newspapers' conclusion may not be accepted in its entirety, but if the principle of fair collective bargaining is subverted to revolutionary ends then the third form of "C. B." is one that should be clear in its purpose before being accepted by the moderate elements in labor circles. same' night 'in "New .York and read on the dinner tables' there.

LfL THE ABBOTSFORD POST PAGE THREE "G TRIO 1804 FLOOD, IX THK KKASKR VALL10Y (From the Vancouver World) Dweller's along (he Fraser Valley are anxiously watching the rise and fall of the river at this time. For old-timers that anxiety is accentuated by the remembrance of the deluge of just twenty-five years- ago, for it was in June 1894, that one of th greatest floods recorded since the a dvent of white, settlement" .swept over the valley, destroying flocks and crops and imperilling the lives of tho pioneers. It was a calamity of no short'preparation. For two previous winters unusually heavy snows had accumulated in lhe mountains, and comparatively cool summers had not dislodged them. Tho early spring ol* . .IS!M wivo also cool and there was little wastage-of the snow. Then iu the latter part of May came a period of abnormal heat; the snow vanishing and the water rising. Indications of the coming flood were first received about the end of May with'the reports of damage done in the upper country and in , the states to (.the south, where the waters or. the Skagit and',' Snohomish wore washing out the crops and stranding settlers and. their houses and stock in the uplands. ��������� On May 31 the Fraser Valley was seriously Hooded, and throughout the first week in June the destrcution went on. A report in the World of May 31, IIS94, stated: ': , "Otway Wilkie has ��������� moved his stock to a. place of safety, only about fifteen acres - of his farm aro covered." ' 1.5ut others suffered worse. Farm- ers along the valley can still recall taking refuge in the upper storeys- of Iiousch and watching, .theii*..stock. drowning in tlie. turbid wafers, lie- low. The,most alarming story that came in was that in' one part a raft had been1 stranded on which were tlie dead' bodies' of live members of one family who had improvised this means of escape but had perished from the hardships. It is not record ed that the story was ever definitely confirmed,, but that it should have found credence indicates tho state of mind into .which the settlers had boon ��������� driven. As the wafers rose higher, -dykes were swept away, bridges washed out and giant cotton trees' uprooted.. Approaches to the railway bridge, at .Mi'-sion wore swept away, ami a C I'll, engine was stalled there unable to get off at,-either end.

Though eome of the associations at the beginning find it necessary - to obtain/a loan from the local: hank to pay advances on stock, the practice Is generally discontinued, as they become firmly' established. A number of farmers in a district,got together and form an association, which Is incorporated under an act of tho province, called the Agricultural Associations Act. Each organization Is .rf-qulred'to submit a statement annually- to the government, showing the amount of business transacted during the previous calendar year. This statement, serves to show the progresr of the association, besides enabling the government to keep a check on Its transactions and protect the interests of tho shareholders. In tho marketing of rtoek all the .'associations employ a, somewhat siml-i lar method. . A manager Is. appointed ! whose duty it is to look after all the details. He ia nnually remunerated at a set rat-" per hmvJro.1 <m the number of stock sold, or he may receive a coi*r"r,.ic'-i'on on'the proceeds of e--ch sale.; Cei'l'-ln i-hipping c'.aye are sc-l every week or every month, nd the members deliver their stock at the us'.ui: \y gi uncu u(.iuiv...a and finality.

Provision against loss in transit Is mado by many associations by the formation of Insurance funds, shipper*, contributing a portion of the proceeds, of the sale of their stock generally about two or three cents a hundred pounds, for this ���������purposa. Other associations prefer to insure their shipments with local Insurance companies Does the farmer secure any financial benefit from the market of stock in this manner? To answer this this assistance* many associations liave been encouraged to undertake the work, and having once started it Is very seldom that the undertaking Is abandoned. There Is no doubt that these associations are a means of increasing the prosperity of the farmer. Not only dees he get higher prices for every shipment he makes, but this fact and the convenience of the market also encourages him to increase his live- clock holdings. The success of one association also encourages others to follow its example.

Evidently the dykes stood. To show how matters wero on some of the farms on Pitt. Meadows ii World correspondent recites "On Sam Robertson's place I saw the hogs swimming in the fields and the chickens walking along the tops of such fences as were left." With the numerous washouts it- was exceedingly difficult to maintain communications, and railway passengers found themselves stalled for days'at'different points. Relief for those along the lower Fraser was afforded by the use of steamers to carry them down to the coast. ' At Mission the lower part of the town was in a wretched condition and great credit is given "Mine host Windebank ofthe Bay View hotel for the fine accommodation he provided" in that distressful time. One of the most pathetic stories told in connection with the Hood was that of a Chinese placer miner who became stranded near Yale. He lashed himself to a sluice box and ���������wii&lasl seen alive floating down the river with it. La tor his dead body was found on the shore still lashed f-) the sluice box. was not until after the middle of cune that the water subsided-and seme estimate of the ' trem-wilo-us damage it had done could be formed Among, the heavy sufferers it is recorded ��������� that Alexander Evans of - Chilliwack had lost house, barn, stock and crops and that $25,000 would not recoup him. H. F. Page of Matsqui is. also spoken' of as having lost about $18,000 worth of property but after all it was probably the. smaller settlers who suffered worst. They wero left in so pitiable a condition that the government was compelled to come to their relief and furnish them with ������ood( and, .buy stock for them to start again. Among the names of active workers for relief are found those of Hon. Theodore Davie, at that time Premier of the province, and Co.pt. 11. G. Tatlow. One result of the flood was . that a better dyking system was installed in those parts of the valley .most subject to flood; more complete drainage was provided for, and it is not likely that so serious a disaster could happen ��������� again. Old timors, however, Ayill never forget the nights and days of horror spont in upper rooms, and seeing their hard-owned worldly possessions swept away,, nor will they ever quite forget tho pathos of the moans pf the pet hors*eor cow which wero compellod to watch helplessly perish. Fortunately tho toll in human life seems to have been small.
