A Cranston, Alberta, report says that American railroaders are beginning to realize the possibilities of the Canadion Northwest, and plans have been prepared to cover the country with a network of lines between Winnipeg andtne Pacific coast. London, June 15.-Hon. Richard McBride's negotiations with the British Ministers had a sequel in the Imperial Parliament on Thursday, when Winston Churchill, as spokesman for the Colonial office, introduced an amendment to the British North America Act, readjusting the subsidies to the provinces. Mr. Churchill spoke at some length. After reviewing the stages leading up to the measure he dwelt upon British Columbia's position, and stated that while the Imperial government was bound to give weight to the representations of the Dominion Government, backed as they were by all the provinces except British Columbia, yet they did not want it understood that these alone were to be regarded in a matter in which the right of a single province was affected. Action of British Columbia. He referred to the action of the British Columbia Legislature in protesting against the proposed settlement being "final and unalterable," and in this connection spoke as follows : "The Prime Minister of Quebec, also Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier and Hon. Mr. Fielding, have made personal application to the Colonial Secretary or myself on this question. On the other hand, Hon. Mr. McBride, Prime Minister of British Columbia, has also stated his case very fully to us. He has, with great fraakness ana much force, place i us in possession of the views and grievances of British Columbia. While we are unable to accept his opinions entirely, we have endeavoured as far as possible to make the legislation agreeable to him, and we have not introduced into the legislation the words 'final and unalterable,' which it had been proposed to introduce, and which would have prejudiced British Columbia's chance of making some other friendly arrangement in the future with the Dominion and with the other provinces." Special Grant. The bill contains a clause providing that nothing in the act shall affect the obligation of the Dominion to pay any province a special grant in addition to the subsidies. Hon Richard McBride remains here until after the second reading, which is expected in about a week. Star's Report. Nontreal, June 15.���A special London cable to the Star says "Winston Churchill, as Undersecretary for the Colonies, brought up in the House of Commons yesterday afternoon the Bill amending the British North America Act respecting federal subsidies to the provinces. " It was given its first reading without opposition. The bill gives legislative sanction to the compact made last October in Ottawa, between the federal, government and all the provincial ministers except British Columbia, under which the prov-j inces are to receive increased, ���per capita subsidies. Sum Inadequate. " Hon. Richard McBride. Premier ot British Columbia, who is still here, has made vigorous representations to the Colonial office against what he deems the inadequate sum given to British Columbia. The Colonial office takes the view that the question is one which British Columbia must herself settle with the Dominion, but the Imperial Bill introduced to-day makes an important concession to British Columbia in eliminating from the Dominion Government's proposed amendment the fateful words "final and unalterable." British Columbia's demand is thus left open, and Mr. McBride is satisfied that the feeling of his province is so strongly with him that the Dominion Government will be led to accept the proposal for arbitration by a court to which Canada, British Columbia and Britain will each appoint a member." ROSEDALE-AGSSSiZ FERRY Two Proposals.���People ot Rosedale Decide to Support Gasoline Launch. DYKING MEETING Commissioners and Enqlneer Hill Discuss Project with Property Owners at Lower sumas A meeting was held qn Tuesday evening in the Orange Hall, Rosedale, to discuss the proposed plans for a ferry connection between this place and Agassiz. Two propositions were placed before the meeting. One was a proposal to form a joint stock company and to put on the river either a $2000 or a $5000 steamer. The other offer was made by Gill & Ryder, who have ordered a gasoline launch of 7 h.p., with an accommodation for fifteen passengers, to be completed by July 1. The first proposal was turned down as being too far in advance of the present trade requirements, and the meeting then unanimously voted to support the promoters of the gasoline boat on condition that it met the requirements of the trade. The outlook fpr salmon has brightened considerably during the past week. Large catches are reported during the past few days and it is expected that duringthe next two weeks sufficient fish will be caught to keep the dealers supplied with all they can handle profitably. Man cannot thrive apart from the land. A spirited meeting to discuss dyking matters was held at the Achelita School House last Friday evening. It was called by the Commissioners and was one of the most largely attended meetings yet held. E. J. Campbell acted as chairman and performed his duties impartially. L. Broe was appointed secretary of the meeting. The chairman remarked that he wished the matter re Sumas Dyking should be discussed amicably between the Commissioners and the ratepayers present. J, L. Atkinson then explained that the meeting had been called to meet the objections that had been raised against the Sumas Dyking Scheme through the press and otherwise. By request D. McGillivray, Commissioner, then took the floor to answer the objections. He first referred to an article in The Fraser Advance of June 1, 1907, which states that, according to Sec. 17 of the Dyking Act of 1897, crown lands are not assessable, and therefore the present assessment roll, which assesses those lands, does not represent a true statement of the facts. Mr. McGillivray said re this that the Company is not acting under the General Dyking Act of 1897, and that the crown lands will Qe assessable. S. B. Hill, Engineer, who came after meeting had been in session some time, took the floor with Mr. McGillivray. Mr. Hill read the complete operations of the Sumas Development Company to the present time. He then referred to the crown lands question, saying that it was not a settled matter, but that the Company is willing to take their share of the assessment on the above mentioned crown lands as soon as the proposition is ready to proceed. Re the matter of each parcel of land being responsible for the cost of the whole construction, Mr. McGillivray said that the Sumas works is not in the hands of the Provincial Government, but is managed by the Inspector of Dykes, and that such a responsibility would not materially affect the landowners anyway. Here a discussion between Mr. Rose and Mr. Hill brought out the fact that the assessment held not only the land responsible within the dyke, but the holders' propertv outside the dyke, if he do not oppose the construction of the work, Numerous questions were then put by those present to which answers were given by Mr, Hill and Commissioners Atkinson and McGillivray. Much valuable information was elicited and although the discussions, which were infor m��l throughout, waxed heated at times, the atmosphere was decidedly clearer when adjournment was taken at 1 a.m. Scarcity of Labor. Many of the contracts of the United States Government have been advertised several times without securing reasonable bids. The government is confronted with the proposition of doing the work by force account or of postponing it until there is an improvement in conditions. The present time is most unpropiti- ous for the government to undertake doing the work itself. There is an unusual scarcity of labor. Wages are from forty to sixty per cent higher than two years ago, while efficiency has been decreased rather than improved by the unlimited demand for laborers. Owing to the remoteness of much of the government work from cities and towns, labor is not attracted thereto, and as a rule the government gets only the leavings or the most undesirable class of laborers. The steady and skilful workers are all busy.���Ex. A VANCOUVER BREEZE Alessaqe From One of Chilliwack' Admirers By The Sea. The writer, when visiting the public hospital of the city this afternoon saw Mr. W. T. Jack- man, of Chilliwack. Readers of the Advance know that Mr. Jackman has had one leg amputated ju3t below the knee. His health seems to be robust, and in spirits he is jubilant and hopeful. .The treatment at the hospital; has been satisfactory in every particular, from the doctor who has charge of tha case to the nurses and other attendants. Still Mr. Jackman thinks that Chilliwack is the best spot in all the world, and hopos soon to have the pleasure of meeting his many friends in the Valley, where nature deals out the beautiful so lavishly. We all feel a sense of sadness when we see our friends in a hospital. A hospital is a kind of benevolent crutch, invented by human sympathy to alleviate pain and suffering. When we need the crutch we thank God for it. When the ailment is gone that made us need the hospital we are thankful and happy for the release. These were some of the thoughts that flashed throug' i the writer's brain as he wended his way from the city hospital. There is a large influx of people into the city this summer. They are coming from nearly all parts of the world.

Tho report of the results of Premier McBride's mission to London as contained in the press dispatches, which reached the people of this Province through the daily papers of last Saturday and which we reproduce elsewhere in our present issue, must have been highly gratifying' to every loyal citizen of British Columbia. It is pleasing to notice that the press of the Province with scarcely an exception refer to the Premier's achiev- ment in complimentary terms. Even those papers which less than three months ago saw so much humor in the very suggestion of Mr.McBride's carrying British Columbia's case to "the foot of the throne," and confidently predicted that he would not even get a hearing, seem now to have awakened to the importance of his victory and are found in line with the prevailing public sentiment. We have no disposition to be unkind or unfair, but there is something truly ludicrous in the efforts which some of the Liberal organs are making to swing into line and claim for their party a show of credit, it will take a little more than soft talk, however, to make the people soon forget the opposition which was offered to the) Premier's course from the beginning. It is true that the opposition voted practically with the government on the main issue, but beyond this it can scarcely be claimed with justice that the influence of the party throughout the Province was with the Premier. Moreover, it is the acme of absurdity to say that Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his companions in office at Ottawa have not been responsible for the Province's failure to secure what was sought. Mr. Churchill's words in the Imperial Parliament set this point at rest, " The prime minister of Quebec, also Sir Wilfred Laurier and Hon. Mr. Fielding, have made personal application to the Colonial Secretary and myself on this question." In the light of the facts it seems only fair to regard Mr. McBride's achiev- ment as at once a personal, a party and a provincial victory. There has been an impression abroad that had the vote of the land owners of the Sumas Dyking District on Wednesday last been adverse the whole enterprise would have been blocked. This is not the case, as we un- ! 11 it, since the engineers u...i,..,tl plans were duly approved some months ago by vote of the people. According to these plans the Chilliwack River | was to be carried down what has been called the lower diversion. Later the engineers advised using the old Luck-a- Kuck channel for this purpose and submitted amended plans accordingly. It was upon these that Wednesday's vote was taken, and had it been adverse the validity of the former vote would not have been affected. As will be seen, however, by a brief report in another column the amended plans were approved by a small majority in numbers and an overwhelming majority in interest, thus leaving the Commissioners the option of accepting either the original or the amended plans. A Vancouver Breeze Continued from page 1 this western land. As a consequence there is quite often severe disappointment and suffering. In conversation with a family recently from a large city in England, I was told that they knew practically nothing about Canada before landing here. They were having some experiences that would tax the good nature and patience of the most magnanimous examples of our race. I presume that such struggles and trials are the ordeal by which the hetrogene- ous elements of this far western city must learn the bond of sympathy, which is the keystone to true democracy. In some cases, the experience thus gained may cost too much, Too severe an ordeal with some dispositions tends to obtuse rather than quicken the finer sensibilities of the mind. The great body of the people coming here are learning the art of assimilation, which enables j them in a short time to adapt ; themselves with advantage to the peculiar conditions of the new land. There is a steady progress going on in every direction. People, who one year ago, were pa-sing through a severe struggle, are today in prosperous circumstances, and rejoicing over the time when they were led to come to Canada in quest of better opportunities for themselves and families. At this time of the year when summer outings are in the air, and one hears something every day about the best place to spend a few weeks' vacation, the writer has often thought about the valley, and streams and mountains of Chilliwack. What about the electric railway between Vancouver and Chilliwack ? What about the utilization of those splendid natural resources in the vicinity of Cu'tus Lake ? When will those opportunities be made available for the general public, who are in need of them during the season of vacation ? The people of Chilliwack have an asset in her lovely spots and select places for summer visits that must in time be made inviting to the outside world. If some of the people who are dosing themselves with drug nostrums in the City of Vancouver could be induced to go up Cheam mountain side and sleep in the open air for a month, live on vegetables, fruit and water, w��lk and laugh all day, and learn that God is the author of all vitality, they would come back here with an energy for life's duties that they have never dreamed of. You ��ho live In the valley should be thankful for your grand heritage, but please don't forget to let the outside world know what you really have. There is a generosity which carries with it ail advantage both to the donor and receiver. Be generous to make known to the outside world more thoroughly, the attractions, health- fulness and wealth of your beautiful valley. CITIZEN.

[We do not hold ourselves responsible for either statements made or sentiments expressed by our correspondents published in this column.] To the Editor PHASER ADVANCE. In your issue of June 15th, I notice a communication over the signatures of D. McGillvray and J. D. Atkinson in which they have tried to answer our letter of June 1st. Now what have they done ? In first question they have mutilated our letter by cutting out the figures 1897, and only using the words " Dyking Act." We consider this is done so that they can better deceive the readers. No doubt we ought to have expressed it thus : '' The Drainage, Dyking, and Irrigation Act, 1897, Chap. 64, , Clause 17," instead of Dyking * Act, 1897, Clause. Nevertheless they do not injure the clause as the force and effect remains j"st the same, viz.,���there cannot be any legal taxation registered against Dominion Land. But I would here further add, assessing those lands is one point, but collecting the tax is another. To verify my statement I will here insert a paragraph, copied from a letter of recent date, from Department of Interior at Ottawa, fully signed, which reads thus : " Therefore I must further state that lands the property of the King in the Dominion of Canada cannot legally be taxed." Now from agreement between Department of Interior, and one, J. H. Lewis, of Chicago, and his associates, I abstract the following : " That when they shall dyke Sumas Dyking District and reclaim Lake Sumas, either through a company or commissioners, and pump dry the bed and bottom of Lake Sumas, so that no person or persons who own land in the dyking district, whether in the bed and bottom of Lake Sumas or otherwise, shall be inconvenienced or injured from the re-flooding of the Lake at at any time from any cause whatever." Then after that has been done to the satisfaction of the authorities at Ottawa and also here they are to receive letters patent for those Lands. So it will readily be understood that James A. Lewis and his as- M2$��H<*yt> Summer Goods We are ready with everything you need this summer for wearing and eating. PRICES ARE RIGHT.

K. Jlshwell & Son We want your EGGS���We pay highest prices. sociates at Chicago have no hold on those lands other than those set forth in the agreement. But we here consider that if this work is accomplished through Commissioners, which means the people���that if the Lake should ever re-flootl from any cause whatever, that the ^V Landowners in the dyking clis- rJN trict will be liable for any dam* j��j ' ages sustained by those who own /ij I land in the bed of the lake. Vg/j As to the second question, the teQ amendment referred to is an S^�� amendment of 1898 Dyking Act, ^jgj which distinctly states that each w/ parcel of land assessed is held Vvf I separately liable for the whole fcQ I amount. I would say this amend- Ny�� j ment is law and ready for use y^J I at any time, if required, and will i^ | remain so until cancelled by the Qy j proper authorities. ffi)i Re assessments becoming as \ 11 private debt : At a meeting in l^! Atchlitz Schoolhouse on the i evening of June 14, Wm. A. ; Rose put the question to S. B. Hill, thus : Do those assess* ments become private debts or j not ? S. B. Hill tried to mislead >*��7' the people by reading other )^j clauses in the Dyking Act for nearly half an hour, when Wm. A. Rose, put the question re- !ferred to again. With a call from the chair of question, and more forcibly from the audience of "Answer," S. B. Hill dis- m*?i tinctly stated that to such as ' sign for works to go on and for Commissioners, they do become as private debts. Now all know full well that private debts can !j be collected anywhere. No vv matter where your property is V possessed they can follow you and collect them lawfully. Last paragraph re False Prophets : To this I would say : In June 1905 false prophets did arise among the people and some of I them being aged were well versed in the acts of trickery and falsehood and whose ways were much like the ways of ]\A Beelzebub and his legion, who by x false illustrations and mis-representations did deceive many. From this class turn ye away, for by their heavy assessments 5A, and insufferable maintenance of W dykes and pumping, your homes x will become their homes, or the i F property of a Company, and you will have to get out.
