The attempt- at robbery was unsuccessful owing to the fact-that the operators were disturbed in their attempts by the arrival on the scene of Constables Clarkson and Thorne. Con. Clarkson, who has his residence in the police headquarters adjoining the bank was awakened shortly before one o'clock of the morning in question by a muffled report but attached no significance to it thinking it came from' the livery stable a few doors away. A second report followed.. This time the Constable hastily donned his cl6thing.and called Con. Thorne, v. ho sleeps in the old jail building alongside the new structure. Mr. Clarkson then proceeded to the gates opening on the street and, encountered dense clouds of smoke. Turning to the left he stepped into the doorway of the court room when he saw a man emerge from the door of the bank. The constable , immediately exchanged shots with the bandit, six shots in all being discharged by him and as many by the robber. One shot directed at the constable passed in between his body and arm and lodged in . the woodwork adjacent. In the meantime Con. Thorne, hearing. the volley circled around- the ..buildings and made- for the centre of the;'rbad- so as to command a good view of the bank door. The robbers, however, took to their heels and made a getaway in the prevailing darkness and confusion. - They were tracked on , R. C. Abbott,. Mission City, was appointed market commissioner Friday by the. executive committee by the Fraser Valley Development < League. Mr. Abbott was selected as one of the ten by a sub-committee from a host of candidates, and latterly was , interviewed along with nine others, by the selecting committee, who on a second ballott recommended him for the post. Mr. Abbott will start on a monthly salary of $100 and traveling expenses. The choice of- Mr.. Abbott is con- . sidered an excellent one. He has had twenty years experience in the various districts in the Fraser Valley, extending from the Delta up to Mission City. After several years in the creamery business Mr. Abbott has been engaged for the paBt six years in raising and marketing fruit in Mission district. , His name is a familiar one in the prize lists of the varous exhibitions in the lower growing. Reeve-, Marmont, of Coquitiam, presided at the executive meeting and Secretary J. W. Cunningham reported the recommendation of the sub-committee. President Marmont said they had gone into the matter of selection very exhaustively. They had given the candidates at the interview ostensibly ten minutes���������mostly fifteen minutes���������considered .their qualifications and past experience and listened ���������tp their views-and proposed method "of. conducting*- the -work- "of the. league. Mr. -Abbot's address was a '" most practical one and showed that he had a thorough grasp. of what' was required of him.

MATSQUI COUNCIL The bi-monthly meeting of - the municipal council was held in the Exhibition building of the Matsqui Agricultural and Ho'rtcultural Association on Saturday, June 20th, with the reeve in the chair and all the members in attendance. The minutes of the last meeting of the Court of Revision and of the last council meeting were read and adopted. Communications Received From F. M. Singer Company, asking permission to cross the Coughlan road with a logging tram line.

In. the matter of expending the appropriation made'for the Sinclair road, the reeve reported that he was in- full accord with Councillor Melander as to where the money should be spent, ��������� while Councillor Satchell disagreed.' By motion, it was resolved to - expend a further sum of $25.00-on this .road by the-property of Mr.- D. Sinclair.. The matter of .cutting of the Canada .thistles was discussed and each councillor, was instructed tot-' take such steps as were necessary to have them cut in his own ward. The matter.of strightening the Mt Lehman road through the S. W. % of Sec. 13, Tp. 13, was referred to Councillor Melander; and the straight ening'ofthe Township Line road in fornt of .the 'property of Mr. J. A. the corner of Welton Street but there the trail was entirely lost. Had it been possible to assemble a small posse of armed citizens a search would evidently have been' made and probably disclosed the fleeing robbers. As it was. the constables arms consisted only of small calibre revolvers while from indications the robbers had large calibre guns. The telephone' service could have been used to advantage had it been in operation in the night as numerous citizens were awakened by the noise but realized too late that something serious was occuring. In the bank a scene of disorder presented itself. The large double doors of the safe were badly twisted with the several shots of nitro glycerine or "soup" that were discharged. A window- alongside the safe mas Morrison was referred to Councillor shattered. as was also the glass door Satchell. ' The- laid-bver ^contract- on1 the Clearbrook road was awarded to C. B. Hill Tout for the sum of $147.00. The laid over contract of building a bridge ��������� over the "Engstrom's" slough and making the necesary approaches was awarded to Olaf Nelson for the sum of $340.00,.the work to be completed by August 15th. Bills Presented for Payment Currie & McKenzie, livery hire for police, $2.50. Cunningham Hardware Company, through which the robbers gained an entrance to the building, and large quantities of ground asbestos fulling from between the plates on the- safe were tracked over the floor. The nitro was ineffective in as much as one good shot would have dislodged the doors. It is evident that the robbers thought it possible to do the trick with a small shot and the chances of the noise awakening anyone in the neighborhood would consequently be diminished. As it happened three attempts were made tools, $11.05; cutlery $1.25, '.total:to open the strong box.

With a little more luck the robbers would undoubtedly have opened the safe and made away with the contents. That Constable Clarkson escaped without -injury is truly remarkable as the position he was in permitted of no escape for him from the shots of the burglar. Had the two outlaws worked together in this they could, have bottled the constable in the corner of the court room entrance as this entrance is walled in on three sides. Judging from the address Mr. Abbott gave them he had the gift of persuasion essential to securing the sympathies of the farmers along the Fraser (Valley .and to bring producer and consumer together. The appointment was made unanimously. Mr. Abbott stated his intention to make good and had no doubt of it as he counted upon the co-operation of the executive committee, a co-operation which the members heartily asured him of. Some conversation was held as to the length of the engagemeent which concluded so satisfactorily that Mr. E. Hutcherson, of Delta, observed, "You will sink or swim with the league. That is the kind of man we want. The question of inducing the municipalities and public bodies still standing out from the league was briefly discussed and it was resolved that the commissioners should undertake a missionary enterprise and convert the infidels, a mission the president considered he was amply qualified for. Reeve Lougheed, of Maple Ridge, who presided at the latter part of the meeting, stated that he and Mr. Buchannon of Maple Ridge, would visit Matsqui Municipality on the conversion stunt. It was remitted to a small committee to report on the best mode" of incorporation either under the agricultural act or under the benevo- < lent societies act." <H TENDERS Presbyterian Ladies' Aid Tenders are called for painting and decorating of the Abbotsfor'd Presbyterian Church and Sunday School room.

K. Doher- ty, U L. D., coiumissioncr for Canada of tho .International Institute of Agriculture. In this article wc find that .liritish Columbia, as far back as 18 9 7 in tho Farmer's Institute Co-opcratiun Act, .provided for'cooperation for economic purposes. Various amendments to this Act prepared tho way for the passing of and the writer roaches the conclusive Agricultural Associations' Act, 39 11, which gives these farmers' associations wide powers in co-operative endeavor. The co-operative movement as expressed -in legislation in other provinces is outlined, ion that much lias been accomplished in recent years to facilitate co-operation and that these legislative measures cannot fail to be followed by beneficial results. Agricultural co-operative activity in the different provinces is reviewed by qualified correspondents. Go- operative creameries, marketing of eggs, of fruit and vegetables, and co-operative production are given attention. The province of Ontario has 9 5 co-operative selling organizations, 20 of them being egg circles. Manitoba has found it profitable .to promote co-operative marketing of poultry products. British Columbia's success in. the co-operative marketing of fruit is of outstanding importance. Prince .Edward Island farmers have made considerable advance in co-operation, the co operative marketing of eggs being the most important agricultural movement in that province. " Nineteen egg circles were in active operation during the year of 1913, with a mem bership of 1,220, and for the past twelve months had a record in egg shipments, of 17 5,000 dozen; 71 circles are now organised, the Dominion Department of Agriculture promoting this movement. The egg circle movement in Ontario and in Quebec is also strong. out that there is a- possibility that both Chilliwack and Hammond associations could be got into lino with the ultimate object in view of forming a gigantic association to include the growers of the entire lower main land. The -benefits that would result from the organization of such a body would be limitless. There can be no question of that. What would have become of the growers in the neighboring- state of Washington��������� in the Puyallup and Yakima valleys weue it not for the fact that they are organized and banded together, into one large bodjy. They have been able to appoint commissioners and to build canneries to handle their surplus fruit. They have been in a position,to secure- express rates tiiat could not be had otherwise. The benefits' reaped by these American organizations'"are many. They could be obtained here were a concerted tffort made to secure them. One little association alone would hardly be heard, but the demand voiced by every grower in the entire valley would undoubtedly bear some weight with the powers that,, be. It would take some considerable manipulating to affect the full co-operation of all the different fruit and i produce growing districts in this valley but the matter could be accomplished and it would be well worth the effort. . The Provincial Government, in the' person of Mr. Winslow, has an enthusiastic representative,' as was indicated at the meeting held here. And if there ever is a concerted effort made at organization of the entire Fraser Valey growers the able assistance of, Mr. Winslow can surely be counted on. same prompt delivery .applies to;the crabs from "Maryland waters, fruit and,, vegetables from Delaware and Maryland;- poultry,' butter "and egg'.-* from the farms of either state or any other source of supply in the Philadelphia zone where tlie bureau has established connections with producers���������or dealers. While the bureau system contemplates' quantity purchasing, it is adapted to consumer.-! as well as retailers or jobbing and commission houses. Each Monday morning William Tunis, chief industrial agent of the company's order arid food products bureau, mails to several thousand dealers, clubs and other quantity .buyers a price lis,t for the work, subject in case of dealers to violent fluctuations.due to excess production or unlooked for scarcity. In Canada we do things differently taking care not to disturb .the"bigJ interests." Our parcels post system is so designed that it contains no terrors for the express companies, owned and operated by the .railway companies. The United States government is not only striking at tho high cost of living by reducing tho tariff on many commodities and abolishing the duty on food stuffs entirely, but it is taking measures which compel the transportation companies and public carriers to enlist in service for .the poople. DIGGING AT THE ROOTS. With such examples the co-operative marketing movement which the Fraser Valley Development League seeks to promote should receive encouragement and the" executive be strengthened in their aim to unite the producers of the Fraser Valley in co-operative activities of the utmost importance to agricultural pros perity. A movement that promises much good for the fruit growers of this district is being inaugurated by the fruit growers of both Hatzic and Mission. As has' been previously reported in these columns the local fruit producers through their secretary have been asked for quotations on car load loty. of raspbarries. Fearing that there would' nc't be sufficient fruit available to fill a' car daily it was deemed advisable to invite the growers of Hatzic to associate with the Mission growers to attain this ��������� end. Several meetings have recently been held in which the matter has been thoroughly threshed out with the result that Mission and Hatzic will work together for this season at least in the shipping of their fruit." Desiring definite information on tlie prevailing .express rates it was considered good policy to get expert advice on. the matter. Accordingly an invitation was extended to Mr. Winslow, secretary of the British Columbia Fruit Growers, at Victoria, to. come to Mission City and address a meeting of growers. Mr. Winslow wired his acceptance of the invitation and arrived and addressed a meeting the following evening. During the course of this meeting it was given J Philadelphia the When the United States government went into the parcel post bus iness a short time ago the general opinion was that the private express companies which had been doing a roaring trade working in collusion iwith the railway companies would ;be done for. In fact, one company at least announced that it would retire from what appeared in prospect to be an unremunerative field. But the Adams Express Company had a different idea. It announced that it would branch out and do things that no government could touch, and incidentally play a part in the solution of the high cost of living.'.Here is what the Adams Express. Company is going, to do:' The company will promote more intimate-relations be- between the producer or dealer and the consumer .and create a market for food products that in the ordinary complicated and cumbersome system of handling commodities frequently means a loss to the'grower and entails unnecessary high' costs to the ultimate buyer. The company will become a clearing house for excess production, disposing of fruit, berries, butter, eggs, poultry, fish, meat and other food articles at a minimum expense to seller and buyer. The company will become responsible to both; delivering the commodities at the the buyer's door and the money to the seller without any intervening agency. The rate on the class of merchandise for which the bureau has been designed is 25 per cent, below the commercial rate fixed by the interstate commerce commission, < and is no higher than parcels post charges. 'The feature of the bureau system-is immediate delivery service. The;company . .will establish centres from which its services will radiata Fish, ��������� fresh from the water at Chincoteague, Va., in the . morning are delivered in NEW WESTMINSTER MARKET There was an unusually large attendance of city and Valley residenio at the New Westminster weekly market held last Friday morning and all were eager to buy with the result that the alleyways around the different stalls presented a very brisk appearance.1 .All carried 'away a package of supplies and the vendors were more than satisfied with the morning's sales. The surprising feature ' of the whole market' was the fact that beef took a sudden big .raise in price. Last Friday sthe-best beef rib roasts could be had for 18 cents the pound but Friday the buyer had to ��������� paj from 22 to 25 cents'the pound;. 25 to 28 cents the pound was asked for loin of.beef.and 30 cents for, short loin.
