He seemed to rally for a time and was an inmate of the hospital for almost a year.. He, however was taken Avorse and passed away on May 1st. FOREST ACT AMENDMENT ACT.

ADVERTISING NEGLECTED (From the Winnipeg Commercial) Here is the argument advanced by many merchants in the smaller towns. "Our advertising , does not pay and. we just advertise to keep up the local paper." The very fact that the local paper should be kept up is an inlication that the merchant at least knows that the paper is an actual benefit to the town. A town without a local paper certainly-lacks something and a town with a good local paper certainly has an asset which the town should be proud of and which the local merchants could and should use to advantage. ,Most any merchant who has a sense of" pride in the town in which lie lives and in which he conducts his business would be willing to pay to the local paper as much as five dollars a month just as a matter of support even if he carried no ad at all. But the trouble is that the average merchant looks on this newspaper space as a donation and simply means "any old thing" for an ad. and changes his copy when he happens to think of it. Tlie trouble lies here: The merchant neglects the advertising end of the, business entirely. Then, after displaying'the most absolute disregard for this phase of his business he insists that his advertiing does not pay. Suppose that the merchant paid as little attention to his customers as he does to his ads. he would soon have no customers . If your ads. are net read it is the fault of your neglecting this important part of your business. If a merchant admits that he does not expect his. ads. to pay how much effort and energy is he going to give to them? The came old ad. about the same old store, with nothing new from week to week and month to month, will indeed never be read. No arrangement have been made fora-celebration on Victoria day here _ ,.. , . , ��������� ���������.- . the citizens feeling that, they have On Monday evening a few frisnds covered themselves with glory in the f"^f ?__l^..?? *"g_Mi?s ?r,r aJ?ng I recent May Day festival.

The same - music and as' big a company as attended on Saturday night were there. The number that turned out showed how highly Miss Orr is esteemed by the Clayburn people, and everything went smoothly and all enjoyed themselves. ' The most important part of the evening was the presentation of a lovely gold necklace set with pearls and peridot given by the company present and presented by Mr. J. B. Watson. Miss Orr was taken unawares and though aprec- iating the gift very much, and more so the kindly thoughts that accompanied the present, she was unable to say. However everyone understood how deeply she felt, and all joined round her singing "She's a jolly good lady" Altogether it was a successful party, all dancing ��������� and joking and partaking of the good things supplied" by the ladies. And so once more as morn approached everyone departed leaving all good wishes with Miss Orr. r HAS DISPOSED OF BUSINESS AUTOS COMING.

Sanderson has disposed of his barber shop and pool room to a Vancouver buyer. Mr. Sanderson who is one of the old timers in Abbotsford, contemplates retiring with his accumulation of capital on his land. It is also whispered among those who are in a position to know that he considers taking a very serious step which all hope will bring cheer and happiness to his home. The concert given by the football boys in the Alexandria Hall was not a grand success financially, but from a social point of view it was everything that could be well desired The atendance, though small, was appreciative as the program was good and was well rendered. Wedding bells are expected to peal in a very few days, so report has it The name of the young couple in question have not been divulged for upblication, but before tnis paper goes to press tfext week it is altogether probable that a well known young lady of Peardonville and an Abbotsford young man will have become man and wife. Here's wishing the' prospective bride and groom every success in their new venture. HAZEL STREET CROSSING AGAIN An unauthorized report has it that work will shortly commence on the street crossings of the C. P. R. and the B. C. E. R. at the tram station. This is something, if carried out, that will be gladly received by the residents as at present there is only one wagon crossing over the railways, which is a decided inconvenience to say the least.

Published Every Friday by The Tost Publishing1 ���������Company A weekly Journal devoted to the interests of Abbotsford and district A weekly J���������verUgilng rates made known 0n application Shibboleth���������Neither for nor agin' tlie Government' Our Many of-the people who come to Abbotsford for ,the first1 time say "I ,,'like this place" and "it looks good to me" and then follow a lot of . questions about local conditions, and right here is the time for our citizens to get busy and make good the impression already started. ', If our citizens would realize this fact more fully and make an effort to pull in the same direction for the advancement of the city, the result would be a wonderfulu increase in the volume of business transacted here in all lines, as well as an impetus to tlie building activity and the business industries. Patronize home products and the home business centres wherever possible. The first essential factor in plan- ' ning a large and prosperous city here in Abbotsford is the unity of aim of. ��������� its citizens; the second, which" is of equal importance is that everybody should patronize home industry. It means that the merchant as well as the consumer of merchandise. The mail order houses pay no taxes or water and light rates into our city treasury;- neither do the eastern manufacturing concerns or the large 'printing, offices in the cities. Therefore as factors in building up our city they might as well be .located on the planet-Mars as in eastern Canada or the coast cities' or the United States In counseling the people to purchase their supplies at home, we do not 'mean that any class should be exempt from this rule. The citizens should patronize the home, stores, and the merchants'in turn should patronize' the local industries and sell the products of the local farmers' 'and ��������� the orchards ' in preference to the imported wares! In a few instan ces the price" might be a triile higher than the goods could be obtained for elsewhere, but if the people buying ���������at home paid cash, as they would be compelled to do if bought abroad, we feel confident that the difference would not cover the express charges! and the people would stand a very' -good chance of getting some of'their money back in-the shapee-of donations for public celebrations. If every citizen in Abbotsford and vicinity would adhere to this plan for one -year, at the end of that time the results would be so marked, we believe that no one would recognize in .-\h- 1 botsford the present town. cures. So the last resort is war, out of which it is hoped a better civilization in Mexico than has ever existed before will be planted. War may bo deplorable, but more so would a continuance of anarchy in Mexico alongside the nation of the standards of the United States. Especially-since the United .States has for nearly a century past held to the Munroe Doctrine, it cannot without reproach remain blind to what has been going on, any more than it could a few years ago with regard to Cuba It cannot'expect that the operation of the Munroe Doctrine is always going to be at te cost of the other fellow; the time must come come when it means responsibility, and costly at that perhaps, to the United States, and when that time comes tho United States must 'show iself to be possessed of the fibre to deal masterfully with"' its' responsibilities. The United States is going to do that now "with Mexico. It will have to brave the jealousy of the Latin American republics which' are largely of the Mexican mould; but the United States is powerful enough to disregard them in the exe cution of its responsibilities. It may also arouse some European or Asiatic jealousies, but if it should, anl the situation should become forbidding we are sure the United States will not lack for a powerfulu friend at the proper time. It is no new principle that "Blood-is thicker than water." Once across the Rio Grande it will become the bounden duty of the United States to go further south, perhaps to' away and beyond the Amazon. s " PROSPECT1VE AGRICULTURAL LEGISLATION A" direful pewf-'-d' of the report recently submitted by the Royal Commission on Agriculture .shows it to be an exhaustive treatise"';n the agricultural resources of British Columbia, and the existing conditions relative to that industry, lo^ther with carefully matured recommendations as to, means and methods required for promoting its prosperity. The "thoroughness with which the Commissioners performed the duties devolving upon them is evidenced by :������ne fact that for the purpose of niak- - lin_- a close study of conditions and of We are not sanguine over the pro-1 methods elsewehero they visited in posed me*ation oE Chi.U Brazil and,Canada "-^^W^rovinces ���������S the Argentine in the Mexican em-1 ������(>rnia| 0regon a-nd Wisconsin, in ad- broglio, though its acceptance by the j dition to Australia and Ne wZealand United States offers another prbof of j and various . .^countries in Europe the patience of the Washington government and its desire to avert blood, shed, so long as its honor is secured The -time taken for mediation proceedings, if they result in any proceedings will be useful to beth parties in shaping tlieir military preparations for what "many believe to be the inevitable resumption of hostilities. For whether Huerta also accepts mediation, or not or abdicates we have no faith in his using it other than as a means of making further . capital with the Mexican people, and unifying them against the United States. Moreover the South American republics which offer mediation 'are themselves tainted more or less . hy turbulence rimilar to >vhat has existed in Mexico, and we should regard it as doubtful policy for the United " S'.ates to lower its point of view ti theirs. Mediation will, therefore result In nothing more than some interesting byplay. The intolerable state of affairs has for many years in Mexico for many a [���������with, and the inaugurating and car- ' rying out of an agre'ssiye policy with reference, thereto, not only justifies but may be reasonably be held to demand,' the undivided time and attention of a responsible minister of ,the government. '" * Another salient feature of- the report is a recommendation to the effect that ,a system of government loans to settlers be instituted. After outlining the several systems in force in different countries in- this regard the report recommends that tlie government follow the lines of the New Zealand system. , The agricultural credit system to. be placed in charge of an "Agricultural Credit Commission" and the minister of finance to. provide funds for .loaning purposes by borrowing money on debenture loans bearing interest at the rate of [four per cent per annum. That the loans be advanced to agricultural-settlers up to an amount equal to siixty per cent of the value of their holdings calculated on the , productive value of the land after the improvements proposed have been made and that the rate of interest paid by the borrower be one per cent higher than the rate paid by the government. The report in respect to the above recommendation, .reduces,to substantial form an opinion which has gained wide spread acceptance on the part of the public throughout the province namely, that in veiw of the difficulties which ordinarily confront the pioneer setled on agricultural lands in this province, some system of government assistance should be devised such as would carry the settler along during the early years, thus affording him-time and opportunity to develop the land to a stage of profitable production. The report contains many recommendations along other lines, all of which bear directly upuou the welfare of the agricultural population such as the encouragement of closer settlement on ilving areas by opening for settlement selected areas cut up into moderate holdings, thus creating agricultural communities; the extension of the rural telephone system to settlers beyond the three mile radius at present in,vogue; the increase and ['extension^ of the already-large mileage of government roads throughout the province; the establishing .of a commercial branch of the department of agriculture, the chief .function of which shall.be the encouragement.of co-operattve associations for marketing purposes; the inauguration of a system of agricultural education in connection with the public - schools system, and the publishing of a monthly- journal to be sent to all members of the farmers' institutes. ' The extent to which the government will decide to reduce the recommendations of the commission to practical legislation remains to ��������� be seen, but the conclusion is justified that ihe results of the work of the commission to practical legislation re mains to be seen, .but the conclusion is justiified that the results of the work of the commission are destined to usher in, a new "era in the agricultural development of the province which will ultimately, place British Colubia in a position to produce with in her own borders practically all the food products required by its population. in,the second"'hand line .were briskly taken'up at small prices .

The above order does not relieve an person-who may set out lire on his property during the months of May, June and September from, any of the provisions of the Forest,Act and he, liable under section 127-of the Forest Act, for all expenses incurred by the Department or by another, in controlling and extinguishing said lire should it spread beyond the boundaries of said property or - should it threaten to do so. All fires set during May or June must be completely extinguished before July-.1st, unless a permit is obtained therefor. -It is further ordered-that it shall be a condition of any Fire Permit granted in the region described during the months of July and August that the brush and debris shall be piled or arranged in wind-rows at a safe distance from any bush land. The atention of.the settlers in the Disricts covered by this order is directed, to the fact that weather conditions extremely favorable' to tho spread of'fire are apt to occur in July and August and if fires escape control during such.,"periods, the whole of the Fraser Valley may be devastated. Sparks and burning embers will easily carry hundreds of yards during such fires and'no buildings within a quarter of a mile of bush land can be considered safe from fire. Every settler should therefore see that his neighbor as well as himself takes the ' precaution necessary to prevent the spread of fire. The department urges every person to make an extra effort to burn any brush or debris which he may desire to dispose of, before July 1st, in order that the danger of fires in July and August may be reduced to a minimum. Further, no permits to burn, during July and August 'will be granted unless it is certain that the fi.-es can be kept completely under control N, B.���������The above circular has been sent out by H.
