A beautiful sight on entering the farm., Mr. Hlcks, the superintendent, hail done everything to\naccommodate the public. A place had\nbeen marked with, a sign to park the\ncars of which there were over a\nhundred. The Association made arrangements to bring nil those coraiii';\nacross the river to Agassia by private cars, but finding the crowd so\nmuch greater than they expected they\nwore obliged to engage the whole of\nMr. Inkman's taxi service and kept\nthem running continuously.\nTables were set up under the trees\nto accommodate those who wished\nto get lunch, which was provided by\nthe ladies of the different churches\nat 50c per head, and, when they\nwere all set It was surely a. sight,\nboth from the viewpoint of the artists and the hungry man. The local\nmerchants set uip booths where Fraser Valley Ice Cream and other commodities for the convenience of the\nvisitors were very much In evidence.\nThe first part ot the morning was\ntaken In seeing the many attractions\non this wonderful farm. Some feasted their eyes on the vegetable garden which was their particular hobby; others, the flowers, etc., and\nothers, again, the stock and many\nother attractions which were educational, as welt as interesting.\nAt 11 a.m. a stock judging demonstration was given by Prof Hare\nof the U. B. C, who gave a very nice\ntalk on type of dairy cattle, which\nwas very interesting.\nProf. McDonald, Live Stock Commissioner of Victoria, then placed a\nclass of nice heifers and asked the\naudience for criticism saying \"everyone has a right to his own opinion.\" Many questions were asked\nand answered which were educational and very much appreciated\nby dairymen and the general public. The majority then moved towards the lunch tables which were\nmore than ready for them. There\ntho Fraser Valley Butter, MUk,\nCheese, in fact, everything Fraser\nValley which was possible, and\nplaced In a most picturesque spot\nunder the shade of a wonderful collection ot trees. Some bringing their\nown lunches enjoyed exclusive picnics in secluded spots o fwhlch there\nare many such.\nAt 1 p.m. a stock parade was given consisting of the farm horses,\ncows, heifers, sheep and pigs, which\nwns a grand sight. Here the services of many of the local farmers\nhad to be enlisted in order to have\nsufficient help to lead tbe animals\nnnd they seemed to rather enjoy\nbeing able to assist in a parade,\nwhich was so much appreciated. At\n? p.m. Mr. O. R. Reade, chairman of\nthe Chiliiwack Locals, with the assistance of a megaphone, called the\ncrowd to the back steps of the farm\noffice to hear the different speakers,\nremarking, \"Follow me and you'll\nwear gum boots.\"\nThe chair was occupied by Reeve\nJ. S. H. Morrow of Agassiz, who, In\nopening, said he felt somewhat like\nthe bridegroom who, asked to make\na speech, stood up and plaelng his\nhand on the bride's shoulder, said:\n\"Ladles and Gentlemen, this has\nbeen sprung on me today,\" In behalf of the people I wish to thank\nyou for your presence and I hope\nyou wlll thoroughly enjoy yourselves,\nI wish to thank Mr. Hlcks for his\nkindness In throwing open this\nbeautiful farm for our convenience.\nI think we are to be congratulated\nnlcs In secluded spots of which there\nas tho superintendent of this Experimental Farm,\n\"On'behalf of the ladles, thoy were\ntold to figure on about 400 people\nfor lunch.

It was a relief lo\nhim when, after lunch.

It was large\nand commodious, and built wiih a\nstrength sufficient to resist the stampede of any number of horses.\nThe sudden announcement of Ron-\nold's Intention to leave was received\nby both Mr. ana Mrs. Frnser with\nopen regret. Mis. Fraser especially,\nwho hud come to regard him witli a\ncertain amount of maternal affection,\nsuch as she would have bestowed\non her own son, looked upon his proposed departure as she would have\ndone had the relationship really\nexisted. The next day. however, be-\nInp Sunday, they insisted on him delaying his departure until Monday.\nThough he finally acceded to I heir\nrequest. Sunday was the day he particularly desired lo be away from the\nplace. lie wished to avoid another\nchance meeting with his successful\nrival, who, he thought, would surely\ntake advantage of ihe day to visit his\naffianced wife, Deference lo his\nkindly hosl and hosless Induced him,\nthough so disinclined, to prolong his\nstay over the extra day.\nWltal glleved him most of all was\nthe apparent indifference with which\nthis woman regarded him.

Instead of being buoyant and Sprightly as had been her\nwont, she became quiet and retiring\nin her altitude, He, In his turn,\nlooked upon her actions as being inspired by aversion of himself. Thus,\nlhe breach that separated them became whal teemed fn him lo he an\nIllSUpl Cable harrier between ihem.\nThe prolonging of his staj had seemed onl> to widen lhe breach and Increase his desire I'm** depurl lire,\nM was late afternoon of his last\nday on the Fraser ranch. He was\nwnlldng leisurely along ihe beach allot- having taken a dip in lhe limpid\nwaters of the lake a Bhorl distance\naway from lhe house when he saw\nMary, sin- was silting In lhe bow\nof a bnui beached on the shore, and\nseemed to be Hazing across the lake\nIn the direction of a large Island some\ndistance away.

She brought nol only sandwiches, but cakes and oilier delicacies,\nalso a jar of ten that she was able to\nprepare quickly, as the kettle was on\nthe .stove nearly on lhe boil when she\nwent in. \"See,\" she said, \"Mr. MacRae, | have sandwiches, cakes, lea\nand olher things lor a surprise.

Taking a point on the shore he was leav-j\ning by which to steer, he pulled out'\nfrom the land. The angle \u00C2\u00BBt which!\nhe dipped tho blades of the oars in\nthe water, the long easy swing of his\nbody as he pulled and the quick even I\nflexion of his arms wiih which he fin-\nlshed his stroke, indicated a skill in\noarsmanship that few possess. The\nboal glided over the water in answer\nto his master strokes without appar-\nenl strain on the oarsman. Mary I\nwatched him as he rowed wiih an easy\nswing of lhe body and marveled tooj\nat his sense of direction, as, with unerring skill, he steered the boat1\nstraight for the Island, without once|\nturning around to gel his bearings.!\nHe did not stop rowing until he was\nclose up lo the Island.\nThey skirted along its north shore,\nwhich presented a steep clay embank\nment rising for about twenty feet\nabove the level of the water, with here\nand there trees and brush leaning over\nfrom above. Suddenly, as they skirled thus along the shore, an eagle flew\nfrom the clay bank, out. of a hole partly concealed by an overhanging tree.\n\"There is one place we must explore,\"\nsaid Ronald, \"for there the eagle must\nhave her nest.\"\nThey rowed along the shore till they\ncame to the east end of the island,\nwhere on the pebbly shore they beached their boat. It was an Ideal spot\nlo land. Between the pebbly beach\nand the tree line stretched a grassy\nslope where they had excellent shade\nfrom the heat of the sun. Around\nI hen. birds and water fowl of various\nkinds and description, disturbed by\ntheir landing, circled about. The more\ntimid, among which were a number of\nblue heron, fj8G3e and mallar.ds, flew\naway to the opposile shore, or over\nIhe hills beyond. Other species of\nducks of bright plumage rested in\nflocks on the water some distance\nout; lhe more curious, and the less\ntimid, sllll closer in. For a time\nihey watched these birds and noted or\ncommented on their antics as they\nHew away, circled aboul, or swam\naround In the water.\nRemote from the frequented haunts\nof the sportsman and Ihe huntsman,\ntheso numerous species of wild water\nbirds, found in the solitude of the interior or tin: mountains, along the\nshores and on lhe Islands of Its numerous lakes, an undisturbed refuge\nplace for lhe mating and the breeding\nseason of the years.

Here tin- subdued female\nbum her nest, laid her eggs and then\npatiently hatched her brood, while her\nmore stalely male disported himself\non the water, or preened his variegated plumugo as he sunned himself on\nballon, gravelly Islands nearby.\nThey watched lhe birds Ihus fulsome lime and then commenced lo\nclrole ihe island along lis pebbly\nlieaelics. Here and Ihere a Hushed\nbird would betray Mm location of her\nnest, and a search Immediately begun\nwould sometimes result In discovery,\nbut more often would resull In disappointment, Cunningly concealed in\nlhe Brass or beneath overhanging\nbushes, the exacl location often mystified tho searchers, while the antics of\nthe Hushed bird In her fantastic efforts\nlo cnUce them away from the nest,\namused them greatly. Here, in front\nof them as they proceeded, a pair of\nCanada gray Reese waddled inlo the\nwater followed by Ihelr brood of\ngoslings, and swam away In single file,\nthe goose in the lead, the gander in\nlhe rear, and casting occasional sidelong glances at the two strange intruders of their quiet haunts. Beyond, a mallard drake, watching witli\nupstretched neck and body, issues a\nwarning \"q'laok,\" to be followed Immediately by his flight followed by\nothers of his kind. Out on the water\nfloaled the nest of tangled twigs of the\ncareless grebe, with eggs half submerged In the water within; In the\ngrass, cunningly and neatly concealed,\nlay the nest of the teal; benealh shading willows the more open nest of the\nmallard; In holes In old stumps rested the nest of the wood duck, while\nlightly swinging on the limb of a sapling tlie dainly hanging nest of the\noreole was discovered.\nCurious as some of these discoveries\nwere, and Interesting as they all seemed, that which attracted .Mary's chief\nattention was the sight of the two\nbulky forms of blue herons' nests,\nhigh up on the spreading branches of\na tall birch tree. She expressed her\nwish to see them, and accordingly\nchallenged Ronald to climb up and examine Ihem. The climb, on account\nof the low dowa thick branches, presented no difficulties, and he readily\naccepted the challenge. Unexpected\nby him, Mary followed on his heels,\nand soon Ihey were both peering Into\nthe nest and examining tho blue eggs\nof Ihe retiring heron.

The average value of farm\nlands ill 1922 for Canada as a whole\nwas $40 per acre as compared with\n$79 for the United Stales. In the\nprairie provinces of Canada average\nland values ranged from $24 to $32 an\nacre; lu eleven of the western wheat\nslates the range was from $46 to $110.\nIt is evident that the American wheat\nfarmer has a much heavier per acre\ninvestment in burden. It ls quite apparent that the Canadian fanner has\nadvantages which enable him to produce wheal at materially lower costs\nper bushel than the American farmer.\nDairying In Manitoba\nWheat Crop In 1923 Only Double\nDairy Products\nManitoba, according to Premier\nBracken, no longer carries all lis eggs\nin one basket, Although wheat is\nstill Manitoba's mosl Important crop,\nits value In I923 was only twice ns\ngreal as that of dairy and allied products, Sime 19III the value of creamery butler produced 111 Multiloba has\ngrown from $4,000,060 In $ 11,000,000.\nDairy butter In lhe same period Increased In vi.lue from $4,000,006 to\n$0,00*6,666, in iwo years Manitoba\nlias developed from an Importer lo an\nexporter of dairy predicts.\nIndividual nnd tribal properly of\nAmerican Indians ls estimated to be\nWorth $727,746,3:17.\nDaddy. \"Can you tell me why the\nlillie hand or my watch goes faster\nlhan lhe big one'.'\"\nJohnny (after considering gravely).\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094\"1 think.

All of\nthese vory kindly offered their services free of .charge. The sports committee then took up the cue and all\nkinds of sports were indulged In.\nThus endod one of the greatest days\nin tho history of Agassiz. Ono hundred and fifty cars crossed on the\nferrf during the day and over one\nthousand pedestrians, the ferry making half hour trips in order to accommodate tho public.\nIndian Treasure Hidden at Bon Echo\nFraser Valley Milk Producers\nContinued from front page\ncreatures and this one in particular\nwas unusually so. The banker In\nquestion had an artificial eye of\nwhich he was very proud, as no one\nhad been able to distinguish it from\nthe natural one, go he agreed to give\nthe loan provided Sandy could tell\nhim which it was. After some study\nSandy said It is the \"left em.\" The\nbanker was very much surprised and\nasked why he picked on the left\neye, to which he answered, because it\nlooks a wee bit more sympathetic\nthan the other. Therefore, we are\nin favor of bankers having two artificial eyes. (Laughter).\nSpeaking of dairy cows he said\nthe herd on the Experimental Farm\nwas a wonderful group, (1600 being the original output for the start\nof the herd. Now there ls a deal\npending in which more than twice\nthat amount is Involved in the sale\nof one heifer calf. He was sorry to\nsay there Is only 50 per cent, of\nthe bulls In the valley which are\nregistered, the general opinion being that It Is cheaper to buy dairy\ncows than to raise them. In this he\ndid not agree and it will only be a\nshort time when good dairy cows\nwill be very scarce.\nMr. Parke, President and General\nManager of the Association, expressed himself as being highly honored\nIn standing before such a large audience. A great deal of credit is due\nWm. Henley and G. H. Smith of Agassiz for organizing the scheme.\nThe Fraser Valley organization li\nthe backbone of the Valley today.\nThey have been under great difficulties, as, although last year working full capacity, are now forced to\nhandle 7 to 8 hundred cans more\nthis year. Vancouver, although being\ntheir main market, can handle only\n25 per cent, of the whole milk, therefore, they are forced to put the rest\non the world market in the form of\nbutter, cheese, Ice cream and condensed milk (Pacific and Borden\nBrand). Owing to their lack of handling capacity they had to dump 400\ncans of skimmed milk in the gutter, which is a loss of about $100\na day.\nTo increase the demand, the organization has canvassed the city on\ntheir own wagons and from 8000\nlbs. of butter per month they have\nincreased to 46,000 lbs. per month\nbut do not intend to stop at that.\nThis eliminates the middleman-\nLadles do 90 per cent, of the buying, so It's up to them to see Fraser\nValley products are used in the\nhouse. What helps the association\nhelps us all. At present 2000 mem-\nmors are using 4000 lbs. of butter\nper month, meaning 2 tbs. a month\nfor each member, not showing a very\ngreat fondness for butter. He also\nsaid the F. V. M. P. A. control 60\nper cent, of the dairymen in the valley. They have 200 new members\nthis year and some old members who\nleft havo come back. Mr. Henley,\nsecretary Agassiz local, called, \"Agassiz has 100 per cent.\" As everf-\nthlng Is working over capacity, if\ngoing to carry on with 100 per cent,\nefficiency must build a utility plant\nIn tho valley which means the Investment of a large sum nf money\u00E2\u0080\u0094\na quartor of a million dollars, llul\nIho wonderful organization Justifies\nthe expenditure and It would pay for\nItself very soon. He also said Ag'\nasslz and ChllHwack could finance\nIt If they chose.\nWo should have a few moro of\nthese gatherings and stimulate a\nspirit of friendship amongst us all.\nCommittees, associations and our\ngovernment, as well, would be the\nhotter for It, as with better understanding the difficulty vanished.\nMr. Macken wns then called and\nsaid tho principal thing was for each\nmember to understand that the association does not belong to tho seven\ndirectors alone, but, is their business as woll. Each should, therefore,\nIbe us vitally Interested In making It\nn success, nnd lot no members got\naway, If your next door neighbor Is\ngoing Into tho dairy business, see\nthat ho Joins.

Kgck.\nLong before Jacques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence\nto discover Hochelaga, a now-forgotten race of people\nwere making pilgrimages to the Big Rock towering above\nthe waters of Lake Mazinawe in Eastern Ontario to\nobserve religious ceremonies, to worship before this\ngreat natural altar and to propitiate the gods who dwelt\nwithin its granite mass. In the backwoods now, five\nhundred years ago the Big Rock of Bon Echo was in the\ncenter of the greatest white pine forest the world has\never known and on a main highway between the north\nand Lake Ontario. There were no backwoods In those\ndays, and the streams were the travel routes for the\npagan people who followed the seasonal migrations of the\nanimals with which the forests teemed.\nTo them the Big Rock at Bon Echo must have been\na thing of mystery, as it remains today both to arche-\nologisls and geologists. None can reconcile the sheer\nuntouched face with the glacial markings along its top,\nand in the same way the paintings along the face are an\nunsolved riddle. \"Who put them there\"? and \"what\ndo they mean\"? are unanswered questions. Along\nthe face of the Big Rock a few feet above the watcrline\nare the hieroglyphic records of an unknown people.\nFainted in a virtually imperishable paint, whose composition is unknown, and which has defied the weathering\neffected of wind and water, these records baffle the\narcheologists of the continent. *\nWhether they have a warlike or religious significance is\nnot known, although some people hold that they record\na great victory of the Iroquois over the Hurons and\nAlgonquins and have been written in some Involved\nand mystic code.\nA more conservative Interpretation claims that the\npaintings of the Big Rock are trail marks, records of the\nbunt, signboards for other travellers. The natives of the\nbackcountry claim that they hold the secret to the\ntreasure cave located in the Rock, and that the solution\nof their riddle would open the entranceway to the long\nlost silver of the Indians.\nFrom Brockville to Trenton, on the shores of Lake\nOntario, the legend of Meyer's Cave has long persisted.\nThe hint of such a cave first came when the Indians\nfrom the country to the north brought in bars of native\nsliver to exchange for food and firearms. For years they\nrefused to discuss the source of their wealth with anyone,\nbut in time, a trader by the name of John Meyers, who\nhad been brought up in association with Indians, was\nable to ingratiate himself into the confidence of two\nmembers of the tribe and in exchange for liberal quantities of fire-water, they agreed to conduct him north.\nLate in the fall they set out, made their way up the\nMoira and Skootamatta Rivers, portaged from Lou-\nmishtigouche Lake into Lake Mazinawe and came to the\nBig Rock. Conflicting stories tell of Meyers actual find.\nOne tells of a fissure between two hune masses of rock, a\nlong entranceway through which tho trader crawled,\nand of a cavern at its end. When the fat pine torches\ncarried by his drunken guides Illumined the interior\nMeyers found himself inside nn irregular cube fifty\nfeet in size and along whose sides were piled rough cast\nbars of native silver, as one piled cordword.\nThe trader took what quantities of the metal he could\nplace in his knapsack and in his pockets, and departed,\nmaking as accurate a mental record of the location of the\nentranceway as he could. His companions would not\nallow him to blaze a tree, or to place a cairn, for by this\ntime they were becoming frightened over their betrayal\nof the secret. The small party set out for home but\ncrossing the lake at the headwaters of the Skoot River,\ntheir canoe was swamped by a heavy storm, and the\nIndians abandoned Meyers who had made his way to\nshore with difficulty. In order to save himself from\ndrowning he was forced to throw away all but a small\nquantity of silver carried in the pockets of his coat.\nWithout food, his firearms gone, ill, wet and hungry he\nreached Belleville after ten days hardship. As a result of\nthe exposure he took pneumonia and died in the course of\nfew months.\nIt is an improbable story but one thing is certain. In\nthe Meyers family there are spoons made from the silver\nhe brought down with him. He left a map, drawn from\nmemory, and in time this fell into the hands of a lawyer,\nGeorge Merrill, who went north and relocated the cave,\nin company with another man. Loth to divulge the discovery, he did nothing for some years and when he did\nreturn the fires had swept through the backcountry and\nhad altered its typography to such an extent that he was\nnever able to locate it again.\nSeveral comfortable fortunes has been spent trying\nto locate the cave. One man lived for fourteen years on\ntop of the Big Rock going ever every square inch of it.\ntime and time and again, certain to the day of his death,\nthat his perseverance would be rewarded. Today in a\nsheltered hollow there are a few rotting logs at right\nangles to mark his home.\nAnother expedition spent thousands of dollars scraping\nthe earth off the central portion of the rock.in a vain search\nfor the cave. Once or twice every summer a group of old\nprospectors will appear at Bon Echo Inn, and armed\nwith pickaxes and hammers, will mysteriously disappear\nup the iron staircase mounting the Big Rock, certain that\nat last they are going to find the lost millions. A day or\ntwo later they creep down the staircase, climb silently\naboard the Canadian Pacific train, and go home as they\nhave come, without the treasure. 9\nAnd over all the Big Rock watches as it has watched a\nmillions years, serene and indissoluble. \t\nTOB UII\nPullottH, Barred Rocks.
