She had been here 18 years, and all the children wert born here. . She stated that her condition is "desperate, as she is unable now to earn money. Seeing that her husband only went to Nova Scotia on a visit for six months, and died there," the reeve thought her case should be considered and agreed 'o write privately to the minister. Apology Due, Turning, to reports of committees, the councillors unanimously agreed that an apology from tuem was due to the ladies of the Clayburn Institute and should be forwarded at once by the clerk. A committee had be������n appointed at the last meeting to join these ladies in an inspection of the Hazelwood cemetry grounds. The day appointed was very wet, the men shirked the weather, but seven ladies kept the appointment undaunted. The clerk, in asking forgiveness, will beg the ladies to set their own date this time, and the men will not fail them. Conu. Benson suggested that the council should demand that all future subdivision plans show their proposed roads in profile. These roads on plans look beautifully level and smooth, in actuality they may run over unnlimable hills or go '.hrough impassable bogs, and a little detour may save much cost and labor.

"--ARTHUR ivlEfGHEN. WOMEN OF CANADA, the coming General Election will be one of the most momentous in Canadian history, and Arthur Meighen "usk3 YOU to give the issut fair, unbiassed consideration. Women and men alike ?.re called upon , to 'decide whether "political, industrial and economic stability is to be replaced by class rule, political and industrial chaos and possible economic bankruptcy. './���������' The facts are clear, and every Canadian woir.r.n will do her own thinking. She will not be misled by others. She wiil not blindly follow family political precedent,'.neitner; will she be carried away by the false theories or empty "isms" of theorists and'.ex-' tremists. Every woman will arrive at a personal decision by .the applicationy.of practical common sense. The great issue is the^Taviff ar.d here zve briefly the fncts. - . ��������� The present Canadian Tariff, so far as it affects the necessaries of life," is a very . moderate one. It is simply a tariff maintained to keep Canadian factories in Canada, employing a steadily increasing volume of Canadian labor and developing Canadian resources. Meighen stands firm for the continuance of a reasonable tariff.. It is now even mors imperative than in the'past. Ali other important countries are retaining or increasing their tai'iffs in order that they may Jmld their home marjsets for their own people. Under Crerar's Free Trade policy Canada would be swamped with foreign goods, principally from the United States, Canadian industry would be ruined, thousands' of men and women would be out of woik with ail the hardships to'themselves and their children that rr.u^t result. The furniei-'s great home market would-be seriously affected, taxes would be inerei-.sod, and Canadian working men' would have to go to the United States for employment. While King's Tariff policy is wobbly it nevertheless tends, toward the destruction of the Tariff and would bring wii.li it practically the-same results. MEIGHEN'S POLICY KV liRVBODV KNOWS. It is the only means whereby confidence may be ���������maintained and employment'given to all classes of the people.

"'���������From first to last," he . added, "they are a tissue of misstatements ���������I was going to say a tissue of falsehoods'���������and that would not be too strong a word to use." "What are the evidences?" I ' " - "Mr. King is being opposed by a' Progressive candidate in North I York;'1 am being opposed by a Lib- Ural in,my division of Marquette.

Senators of the agricultural '���������bloc'' have decided on a schedule of-rates on agricultural products which 'they will ask when the senate finance committee resumes hearii? en the permanent tariff bill. They have decided to ask even higher rates than the Pordney bill as it passed the house.- On wheat' they will ask that the ���������i") cent rate of the emergency tariff be continued; that'an increase of' |five cents per bushel be made on' jibe rate'for barley and that rates be j placed on livestock about equal to Mho emergency rates. The action'of the agricultural senators probably means that'rates on agricultural products about on a level with the present emergency-rates will be forced into the tariff law, thus' aiming a hard blow at agricultural importations from Canada and elsewhere.

Meeting at the mill on Wednesday, the ratepayers of the Matsqui municipality in the section adjoining the townsite, agreed by a four-fifths majority to have their property included in the Abbotsford school district for school purposes. The folloing evening th.-. landowners on the Sumas side of the town met in the Alexandria Hall and after a warmly debated discussion came to a similiar conclusion by a narrow margin of votes. On Friday the Abbotsford people met with the result, of these meetings before them, and decided unanimously to ap,-!y for an extension of their school area yito. the two adjoining miniicipaii ties. At the present time Matsqui and Sumas supply more pupils .than does Abbotsford and contribute 60 per cent of the cost of upkeep. This contribution carries no right of representation on the Abbotsford board nor on the other hand can the outside dis tricts be called upon "to assist in tho new buildings. The townsfolk were then left to erect new buildings for outside pupils. The way out of. the area of the school district so that the ratepayers sending children to Abbotsford should pay school taxes to that centre. The government will now be asked to advise on procedure as there'are legal steps to be taken and arrangements for the collection of school taxes from the municipalities. A plebiscite may yet be necessary before the school boundaries can be changed. For Music in Your Homes These Long Evenings .ROADS OP SUMAS ARE I . GIVEN SEVERE SHOCK SEE COOPER SELDON clayburn, n. c.

The idea is to acquaint the different sections with what' development is going on in the province,' and thus ov- I ercome the pessimism that threatens to bring about greater uneinploy- . ment during the winter. 1 UPRER'.SUMAS, Nov.'7.���������The municipal roads of Sumas received a Shook. Metaphorically speaking, they may have been shaken all on! of existence.! . A. land-owner, objecting to the by- ���������'���������law-" which 'established a proposed road, appealed to the Lieutenant- Governor, that he withhold his consent" and-the council on ' Saturday "awoke to the clause in "the M'unici par Act "which states that the consent . of -the King's .representative is part of the legal procedure in establishing a right-of-way. ! . This was.new to the council. . So far as they could ascertain it was new to every other municipal council. Roads had been established by a thrice-read by-law, .and its publication in the B. C. Gazette and tiie local paper, with registration in the .County- Court and land registry office.. Who ever thought of bothering the Lieutenant-Governor with their 'little roads. But there it is, in section 823, "with the consent of tne Lieutenant-Governor." The municipal solicitor throws no light on the question. Perhaps the inspector of municipalities may. Ht will be consulted immediately. Engineer Humphrey suggested at t)y% same meeting of the council that the prairie lands be resurveyed. Whether the high waters of recent years have washed out datum lines, landmarks and iron posts in not stated, but?all township 19 should be re- plotted, according to the ' surveyor. Fearing that they may be losing their lands as well as the roads, the councillors have visited Mr. Humphrey to attend their next meeting and give reasons. The Sutherby subdivision near Abbotsford was cancelled altogether by the council, who also voted $2K0 for the- gravelling of Whatcom road south of the B. C. E. R. and ^appointed a committee of Councillors. Austin, Lamsbn and Frith, with the reeve, to meet the Matsqui Council on Wednesday next, to discuss' the boundary road west of Huntingdon. RECLAMATION IS A COSTLY PROJECT ! VICTORIA, "Nov. 1 0.���������The sum of $154,295" has been expended by the government on preliminary work in connection with the Sumas reclamation scheme, according to answers fil ed yesterday afternoon- in the Houfe by Hon. E. D. Barrow, on request or Mr. .1. VV. Jones, Conservative member for South Okanagan. This amount is other than that expended I by the Land Settlement Board iu Ibnnection with the contract with the' , Marsh Construction Company and ^nay be connected with the admission made by Premier Oliver last week that the scheme would probably cost more than was originally estimated. More evasive are the answers of the Minister of Agriculture to a request , for information by Geor-rci Hanes of North Vancouver. Mr, F. N. Sinclair, as chief engineer of the project, is in receipt of $5000 pc annum while the engineering costs to date are set at $67,423. To; the question as to what position Mr. Strong, said to be an American citizen, is holding in connection with the work, Hon. Mr. Barrow stated that he had no information other than he was employed by the contractor. The same applied to a question as to what collection the Tacoma Construction Company had with the Marsh Construction Company.' i Why does A. G. A. smile so these day? We tried to find out today but he iuaf smilpd on. Something is suiting him, because that smile does not appear -to come off.
