There is hope lhal in lhe very near future lhal Hie Sumas area will not produce so many mosquitoes when the Sumas Lake .reclamation scheme has been thoroughly carried out, thus preventing' the water from ly- hig on Lhe low lands. That it is a great breeding place now there is no question. A south wind tells the Mission people such.is the case. When the low lands of the Nicomen Island has been covered with water there is always an excellent crop of mosquitoes. A ride around the Island during mosquito time tells lhe tale. Then the old Morton properly, most of which is owned at present by the Yorkshire Guarantee Company is another home for mosquitoes that appear to have more tha none bill to present at one time. Some people claim that this lady is /"-.particularly vicious creature '" of its kind and is never satisfied until death. There is no reason why this area should not be reclaimed. It is excellent land and if dyked and the water water pumped out there is no reason why this land should not be worth more than $1000 per acre. The cost of dyking and pumping should be very little as it is only narrow place for the water to back up, and with the dredging at the mouth of the Fraser there becomes less chance of the water rising over the banks of the .river. The question of dyking - and pumping on litis area should be vigorously taken up with ' the owners by our board of trade or the Mission Municipality, and there is little doubt but that if properly placed before tlie present owners in the proper light that the work would be done, as it would be a paying proposition and il is believed that finances would not be much of a detriment for the company. These three areas dealt with so as to keep the land from being flooded would to a very large extent do away with the mosquito ��������� pest of tlie Fraser Valley; it would at least deal with the three largest areas now first-class breeding places^ for mosquitoes.

From Dewdncy district comes the worst report, but 1G01 having regisc-' ered up to Saturday last and only 569 during the past week.

Discussion regarding establishing a third year high school took place but nothing definite was decided on. Higher salaries means higher faxes and some ratepayers arc not quite satisfied, but the demand for better schools'for Abbotsford has to be met.

It is wonderful how these farmers can keep so cheerful under conditions that means the entire loss in many cases of their entire crop, it being so late that nothing can be planted this v\ear after the water is gone as it is too late. The Yale road is flooded up to within a short distance of Vye which means that a lot of land is covered. The loss will this year be up in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That was something that could not be i'orsecn and we,do not believe that the old dyking commisisoners nor the engineer can be blamed. Certainly'il does not appeal lo the. farmers to have it thrown back on them that, their 'dyke is not worth a whoop���������' There is or should not be any doubt about the competency of the engineer in the minds of the provincial government, as were he alive today he would be in charge of another important piece of work in the Fraser Valley. That ought, to be some kind of guarantee that the work was done according to the best engineering plans. Were the land worthless when dyked there would not be so ' much reason for crying shame when the game of politics is being played.t The Dominion government has spent considerable money to help protect the island.

That so much money has been spent goes to show that somebody thinks the land'is good. Another point along this line is that the old settlers have stayed with the island'through all the floods of many' years and are still able to put on a good front. ��������� Without the dyke and the danger of flooding the land is today estimated as worth $150 per acre, but if dyked so as lo permit of intensive cultivation feeling that everything was safe, the land is easily'worth not a cent less than .$1000 per acre���������that much could be taken off it annually, at the present prices of small fruit: this would mean that the land would pay handsomely for all the dyking that would be charged up against it. .The land has all the ingredients that go lo make successful agriculture no matter what line is followed. It is hoped that the two governments���������dominion and provincial will get together and formulate some scheme for secure protection that will place the present landowners on the island in security so that they can make a good living besides paying the provincial taxes. The loss annually through flood and mosquitoes is considerable, and the farmers, if they can get security are willing to mortgage the future if the two governments will get together and give security against this loss. The Sumas dyking scheme is being .undertaken by the present government in partnership with the farmers and when completed the land will be no better than Nicomen Island, and it is doubtful if as good for some years to come. Matsqui prairie was of little use until dyked and today it has a very prosperous community, willing and able to nay their dyking tax. which will in time pav back to the government all the monies paid out in building the dyke���������and look what a credit to the Fraser Valley the Matsqui Prairie farming district is. soon have this market, all to themselves and prices will rise.

Sir Arthur : Harris, inset. * , The British Ministry of Shipping (Canada) which during its five and one half years of existence jpractically controlled the export trade of Canada, inland and overseas, clearing over 3,000 transports and Diners from Canadian Ports and Portland, will, according to an announcement by Sir Arthur Harris its Director General, be demobilized on March 31st, next. All correspondence relating to the affairs of the Ministry in Canada after that date is to be addressed to Mr. E. M. Raeburn, Director General, British Ministry of Shipping, No. 165 Broadway New iYork. The activities of the Ministry in Canada, including the Overseas Department which it succeeded, date from August 1914, at which time the Dominion Government, appreciating the importance of securing rthe service of an expert Overseas Officer, conferred with the heads of the large Canadian Transportation Companies with the result that the then President of the Canadian Pacific placed' at the service of the Government Mr., now "Sir" Arthur Harris, who acted as Director Overseas Transport up to the 5th [September 1918, at which date the Department was absorbed into the British Ministry of Shipping Sir "Arthur Harris continuing in charge as.
