G MATSQUI COUNCIL The regular monthly meeting of the Matsqui municipal council was held in the Municipal hall on Saturday. October 2nd, with .the reeve in the chair and all the members in attendance, in The minutes of the pervious meeting q������ September 21st were read and adopted. Communications Received From E. A. Wilmot, stating that he had been advised by the Attorney- General's department that maintenance funds 'cannot be used in the construction of the crossing asked fon by the council over the Beharrell road. Laid on the table for future consideration. From J. W. Armstrong, asking if there is any possiblity of the council opening up the road leading to his property, viz., the east half of the west half of the S. E. 1-4 of Section 8 Tp. 14. Referred to Councillor Owen. From W. A. Duncan, City Clerk, New Westminster, stating that if some good photographs of the municipality were sent to him he would forward them to London, or they mi'Jrht he sent to the Agent-General of British Columbia in London, England. The reeve asked the councillors to ascertain if any were to be had. From Robert Stewart, enclosing plans of two portions of the east half of the N. E. 1-4 of S. 22, T. 16, with surveyor's description of one portion said description to be embodied in a letter to the Registrar of Land Titles expressing the willngness of the Council to have the same registered by metes and bounds. The clerk was instructed to inform him that the description of the 9.812 acre portion is imperfect because the existing wagon road is enclosed in the acreage conveyed and is not as should be described as land excepted, and also because the description lis "thence westerly parallel to said boundary 9.692 chains, more or less to the easterly boundary of a road." This road the Council is not prepared to accept until the whole plan is considered for acceptance. It would be necessary for the council to have the description "of both pieces of property showing the exact location of the existing road and not committing the council to the acceptance of the road it is proposed to provide on the westerly boundary of the property. When this is furnished the clerk is instructed to give the necessary consent for registration as required. From W. A.

If you think It is of sufficient interest to your readers to deserve a place in your columns, please insert- it in your next Issue. ; "You are particularly requested not to publish the announcement of the distribution in an abbreviated form, because by so doing you would probably, give an incorrect idea as to the conditions under "which the f,r<ee samples are sent out.

The value of the press is at' once acknowledgement as a medium for distributing valuable information, and lacking the courtesy that should be extended the press for a favor asked and is no doubt written by some 'understrapper' with a very hlp.li. opinion of hmself and his little government :ob. their money out of the Province to China. Further this condition which exists at this moment puts the farmer of the Fraser Valley down to a, Chinese level and is undermining our national life and free citizenship. Further no trade or occupation, whether manufacturing or producing, mechanic, machinist or tradesman of any kind could or would allow the Chinese to compete and thus bring the white man down to the Oriental wage Therefore why should the farmer a- lone be subjected to this deplorable condition < There are in the city of New Westminster) about 26 Chinese vegetable peddlers; in Vancouver about 76 with horses and rig. This does not include the vast' number who peddle with the pole and basket, leaching frof these cities approximately $3,000,000 annually. All of our Eastern da and the U. S.

All applications for grain (and applications- from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec for potatoes) should be addressed to the Dominon Cereal- ist, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa.

The samples will consist- of spring wheat (about 5lbs.) white oats (about 4 lbs) barley '(about 5 lbs.) and field peas (about 5 lbs.) These will be sent out from Ottawa. A distribution of potatoes- (in -3 lbs. samples) will be carried on from several of the Experimental Farms, the Central Farm at Ottawa, supplying only the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Each application must be separate and must be signed by the applicant. Only one sample of grain and one of potatoes can be sent to each farm If both samples axjs asked for in the same letter1, only one will be sent. Applications on any kind of printed form cannot be acccepted. The destruction by fire of the cereal building at Ottawa, which contained grain-cleaning machinery and a large stock of seed grain for distribution, may make it necessary to curtail the distribution to a certain extent.

A rumo'r has been persistently circulated in many cities in Canada to the effect that the Canadian Red Cross society was guilty of a breach of faith with its contributors, by sell- ir.'; instead of giving supplies to soldiers. This notion is of course on (.he face of it awkwar.d and can give /_ little credence with intelligent , people. 11 has been officially and emphatically denied by ' Col. Hodgetts, the Canadian Red Cross Commissioner in England, and publicly contra- .dieted by prominent Red Cross officials in Canada, but the .rumour has a curious vitality an,d persists in croppnig up in unexpected places The Canadian Red Cross needs no defence from .such petty misrepresentations, but it is undeniable-that a suspicion that supplies are not given away freely might damper the ardour of many enthusiastic workers who are inspired to generosity, by its thought of the soldiers' pleasure when he receives their.gifts. There ,'s not much incentive to knitting if { the soldier who ultimately wears them, does so with a Grievance. The Red Cross authorities however have never been able to find any such soldier with an . authenticated that they had heard that supplies were sold, have neveT been able to produce any proof. The reasonable grievance. Persons who have stated inference is that no such proof exests. Any one making Red Cross'supplies can do so with the full assurance that the bounty of the Canadian public goes as a free gift to the sick aud wounded soldiers All reports to the contrary are either- misunderstandings or falsehoods. ; ��������� (The above letter was received -i- ijriom the Head Office' of the Red Cross society at Toronto; and if any of our" readers have any specific information in regard to the matters mentioned above they should communicate with the head office at Toronto.���������Ed.)

By the time a man pays $2.00 for the sacks and gets only $8 a ton, no wonder the farmers get a little discouraged and want to sell out Then some people will tell you that the farmer of the Fraser Valley is "lousey" with money.
