A TRAVELLED MONARCH The boxing .match on Monday evening was not a success by any means,,there be'ng much argument as to who won. Thompson s supposed to have won by a fluke. Abbotsford is exceedingly fortunate in having among its builu- ���������ers a lady who makes it a point to build business blocks. ' Mrj. Campbell is building yet another structure which is to be occupied. as an auction room by Lindsay Rug sell, who has been'recently nicknamed Rustling Lindsay. r^t might be remarked in connection* with the. above that Lindsay- Russell has done more in the way of advertising Abbotsford than any other single person in the city But then.he is doing it in such a way that many more besides himself, are reaping the benefit. \\ ell good luck tp him and his office boy (Silver Tip.) ^ His Majesty King George V. is the most widely travelled monarch that ever sat upon a throne. All other kings, emperor3 and rulers of every kind have been stay-at- homes as compared with him. He is the onlyvjeigning sovereign whp has ever been in America, .-and the late king was the only other one to visit the western' side of the Atlantic. He is the ' only European sovereign who has been in Africa or Asia, unless some of. them may have touched at ports along the Mediterannean. He is* the only sovereign, living or dead that ever was in Australia. He has been six times in Canada, three times in India, and twice in < Australia. There are not many first-class ports in the world and none under the British flag into which he has not sailed. He knows every capit' al in Europe. If travel-isi .a training for *the 'discharge.,of a-monarch's duty, His Majesty; has certainly graduated. These widely extended travels were undertaken from sense of duty and, very large ly by the advice of his father, who rightly held that, the man who was to be at the head of the British Em pir.e ought to know that Empire, as well as possible. It is a matter of no srnair importance that at a '���������time when the imperial idea-is rapidly taken shape, the King.should, be a man as'familiar, with the Empire as any one of'his subjects and ���������vastly more so than most of them. Messrs P. Burns ���������Company of Vancouver have now .a- representative here delivering beef to the various Great Northern railway construction camps. Judging by the amount of beef consumed, nam ely from six to ten beeves per day one would 'think (that the G^-eat Northern employees were not of the kind that do not enjoy good roast b������,ef.

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH The Presbyterian church at Abbotsford is .most fortunate in securing the services of the Rev. J. L. Campbell, Bl A. B. D., for its pastor, and the residents of Abbotsford and surrounding district seem to appreciate that fact for on Sunday last the church was'filled to the door, many people walking mi'es to hear him. The Rev Mr Campbell preached a fine sermon from the 4th chapter of St. John, 29th verse, which was a real education and enjoyed very' much by his hearers. The -singing by the newly organized choir was fine. Mr; Caihpbe'll is an eastern' man having' resided many years near- Toronto for many years in his last charge. . "���������-.;';.".. DOG .POISONER ABROAD Tk������ dog poisbner has begun operations in town, and some very valuable and other\ dogs have been poisoned lately;.' This will'��������� be a very serious matter for some one as the provincial, police have been communicated w!ith for the purpose of locating the culprit. No great difficulty, is, expected in locating the party who is responsible for the sorrowful dog .owners during the last two months. A- mong the dogs missing are Mr. J. A. Blair's, St. Bernard; .Mr. G. H. Kerr's Spaniel and Mr. A. M, King's Teddy. * Miss McGillivray spent a couple of days in New Westminster visiting friends. GOVERNMENT ROAD WORK GOING A PACE. The government road work is progressing favorably . anu s Mr Gazley is simply walking over hie portion of the work and every day shows a vast improvement- The government off ciate*showed great wisdom in securing Mr.'Gazley for the.work and Abbotsford is reaping the benefit of his fifteen years experience in road making. , Mr. B. J. Gernaey spent Sunday in Sumas; Mr. Thomas d'Neil of Clayburn was in Abbotsford and Sumas on Sunday. Mrs. J. J. Sparrow who underwent a serious operation at the Sumas hospital is now reported aa convalescing. Mr. H. Freeman who went to Kamloops on Monday last is expected home to-morrow. Miss Crawford the popular principal of our public school has been visiting friends in Vancouver,during the holiday season. Miss Elliot, of the Hudson Bay stores in Vancouver, accompanied by MissMcGeer, was on a visit to .her parents the early part of the week. Mrs. L. Campbell of Lochsloy, Wash., who has' been on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Coogan, returned home to-day. She was accompanied by MtesEffie Wooler. Mr .and Mrs. J. A.

Eastern people who contemplate coming to the Fraser galley are generally, as full of questions us an egg Is full of meat and give their acquaintances here no little trouble in besieging them for Information, which it needs a considerable amount of time and research to impart. For the benefit of such persons, both inquirers and inqulrees, the following brief facts are presented, which will save much letter writing: The Lower Fraser Valley, as generally understood, includes that portion of the Province of British Columbia lying south and.north, of the Fraser riv< er west of Hope to the sea-coaBt, and comprising the - Municipalities, of- Chilliwack, Sumas, Langley, Surrey and Delta on the south.side of the river; and Kent, Dewdney, 'Nicomen Island, Mission, Maple Ridge, Coqultlurn, Burnaby and Richmond on" the north' side of the river. This section differs from the rest .of the province on the mainland, having a warmer and more even climate'. 'We have practically' a tropical climate, having but two seasons,' the -.wet and the dry. It is seldom that the climate reaches below the .zero .'point,: except it maybe for a few...'days,in* January and February, when.*,the temperature may fall to zero, or<-two or -three .decrees below. -When���������the--temperature takes this change, we have 'very^brlght and sunny days and is enjoyed by the people from the pralries-rreminding them as it were-in a mild form of the climate where they once resided.-We have yet to learn that it has made any of them homesick. 'However; to them it is an enjoyable change for a. few days. ' November- and December'; are the rainy months, although'; as a rule-the rain falls for only -two or -three days at a time, the intervals- being* warm and generally sunny. 'The average rainfall will not exceed' ?? inches. The eastern part of the valley, from Mission City inland t has but little of the fog customary further west and on the sea coast. It is often remarked that Mission City enjoys the coast climate with the exception of the, .fog. Epidemic diseases-, poisonous Insects, tornadoes, cyclones, blizzards, and thunderstorms, are', conspicuous by their absence. The productions "of the valley are of a semi-tropical nature���������practically a fruit growing district, although in some parts grain growing and dairying Is -carried on with a.highly marked degree of success���������parts of the ' valley being particularly, adapted for pasturing and dairying/but the greater part of the valley, is' adapted' particularly for fruit growing. Irrigation is unnecessary, ��������� and all fruits are grown <. sucessfully > without it, and ln no place in the valley does the soil become entirely-dry at any season of the year, the ground may. appear dry, but by disturbing :the-'surface soil it will.be found* that there is 'sufficient, moisture -.to- produce growth. That no Irrigation is necessary is an ��������� Important ������������������ factor in fruit growing. It.might be said that-horticulture is the chief occupation and as the district increases in population.tho growing of the small fruits will, become an occupation in which 90, per cent, of the population will be,, en-; gaged. The strawberries grown are of a superior quality, and require careful and judicious marketing to make Mission famous���������the bench lands on the north banks of the Fraser river. There is no danger of over production et strawberries, or small fruits, for mini' years to come at leaBt. The area of land adapted ��������� to strawberry growing is somewhat limited,' but the markets, both in this province and In the prairie provinces, are practically unlimited. ' A strawberry' patch) will bear: Bome the first year,* and the second year if cultivated as it should, will bring to the ��������� owner an abundant crop.; A second crop in the fall of a good grade of berrleB is a very common thing; Land for berries costs: from $60 to $500. per acre; planting an acre and taking care of it the first season after the land is cleared, costs $75; care of a bearing patch,, from $40 up per acre, annually. A strawberry patch pays from $400 to $800 an acre after'the first year, and $300 to $600 the second year.

It does sot pay to ship bulky household goods to Mission. New Westminster and Vancouver are. the principal provincial markets for fruits of al] kinds and vegetahlee which grow ia abundance.
