One hundred dollars was appropriated for the work on the DeLair road from Bannerman's west; $50 for repairs on the old Yale Road, 10 loads of gravel for the Bowman connection on the Marrah road; $25 for ditching on the Clayburn-Straiton road; $50 for work on the Campbell road west; ?5 0 for gravelling on tlys Hill road from the McKay bridge north and $2 0 for putting the Fook gravel pit In shape. In 1917 the municipality paid A. Boley for putting 60 loads of gravel in the Roscoe Ridge road. As this work has not beaa done yet the clerk was instructed to notify Mr. Boley that it must be done at once. Councillors Atkinson, Austin, De- Lair and Lamson were named as delegates to attend the meeting of the Good Roads League which is to be held in Abbotsford this coming week Road bylaw No. 167 gazetting the Good Road, received its first and second reading. The indemnity bylaw of 1919 was reconsidered and finally passed. The following communications were received and dealt with on Saturday: Tho Imperial Oil Company wrote regarding an account for.oil, over which there has \"been a dispute for some time. The matter was left in the hands of the reeve for adjustment. The forest branch of the provincial department of lands wrote notifying the council that after August 1st it was intended to enforce the clause of the Act which made it necessary to secure a permit before the starting of a fire. A number of blank pormits together with instructions for issuing same accompanied the letter. These were received and filed. ( t Evans, Coleman & Evans wrote, acknowledging recepit of a quantity of pipe which had been the cause of considerable correspondence, and stating that the account was now closed. Letter received and filed. P. Byrne, Indian agent, New Westminster, wrote regarding the municipality's request for a right of way for a road across the Kilgarde reserve. Mr. Byrne stated that the plan submitted would have to be a- mended in ,.sorae particulrs. This will be done and the plan will be resubmitted. The Clayburn company wrote that business at the present time would not permit of their assisting in opening the Kilgarde road, as asked to do by the council, but that they might be able to asist at some f.uturo date. Letter received and filed, A bulky report of the convention MATSQUI SCHOOL BOARD The Matsqui School board ' adjourned their meetingf'last,.week with the teaching staff yet incomplete. Miss Lancaster was engaged for the Bradner junior room and Miss McLean for the second room at Matsqui. Inspector Martin is . expected co recommend a principal for the Matsqui school and although a number of interested ratepayers from Mt Lehman attended the meeting, no definite action was taken.. by the' board regarding the princiualship ot the school. The residents of Bradner petitioned the board for the establishment of a superior school in their district They pointed out that they had nine children entering, on second year work this fall and six others would take the first year course. This in their opinion .justified a superior room at the Bradner public school. The board took the suggestion favorably and will take up the matter with the department. Ninety jolly excursionists, packed in onot special car, left Bradner for English Bay on Thursday last. Organized by Supt* Redmond, this was the annual outing of the Bradner unday School. Straining their voices to drown the city's roar, they were'earriod to the\"Bay in their own car. Diversified amusement's of bathing, seeing the zoo and the beauties of the parke, or taking jitney rides a*bout the city, occupied fully the short intervals between meals and as the rain did not come until the youngsters were getting tired, they returned home assured that it was a perfect day.

An invitation for delegates to attend the annual convention of Canadian municipalities, to be held in Kingston, Ontario, on August 12, 13 and 14 was received and filed. John Murphy waited on the council and asked if the arangement had been made regarding the road allowance between himself and G .Cox. Reeve Fooks reported having interviewed Mr. Cox and that no arrangement could be made as another party on the road wanted the road opened. The clerk was instructed to write the three parties affected and invite them to attend the next meeting of the council in an effort to arrange an amicable settlement of the matter. The usual monthly accounts were certified and ordered paid and the council adjourned until 12 o'clock, Saturday, Sept. 6. The Board of Railway Commission ers has issued its judgment on the application of the Epxress Companies fcr increase in rates. Inrceases are allowed-, in the general merchandise scale arid.vi the.special Scale \"N\" but the companies' application in so. far a3 commodity rate's are- concerned, is dismissed, subjeet to the right of the companies should it be found impossible to make ends meet, to renew the application. In connection with their commodity rtes for less than 'carloads, the companies aro permitted to cancel their,wagon service of collection, but shall still perform wagon service at cartage points of destination. The carload commodity ratees may bo exclusive of wagon ervice, but the companies aro required to have such comodities in carloads switch d to the team tracks adjacent to. the passenger station at point of destination conveniently for unloading and without additional charge to the consignee. Two openings in transit for unload ing shipments of fruit from British Columbia points and from Ontario points to prairie destinations, is provided-for; each opening to be subject to an additional charge of $5.00. In regard to the special complaint of Prince Edward Island shippers a- gain3t the proposed 25$ arbitrary for the ferry service to and from the Island, the Board is of the opinion that it should be struck out of the tariffs. Fruit and vegetables move by express from the larger producing sections under commodity rates, but where the Scale \"N\" rates apply a slight increase will be effective. The result of the increase in Scale \"N\" will be to increase the cost per pound by aproximately one-fifth of a cent for the 50 mile distance, and for a movement of 4 50 miles to increase the cost of transportation two-fifths of one cent per pound, as shown by the following table: Miles Old GO 75 150 200 ;joo 000 400 450 At the rates apply on fruit and vegetable shipments from points of production in the provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, Neva-Scoti. and Prince Edward Island.

Throughout the Fraser Valley it has-been the custom for a number of persons to cut off the barberry bark for only a part of the way up 'he barberry itree, and leave the rest of the tree.where it stands.. This kills the tree, and not only the rest of the tree-bark is wasted, but the tree dies, and so ends an indutsry, in which there is considerable money. 1'ft has been suggested by a citizen of |iMission City, after inquiry, that a better.-,way would be to-cut the whole tree down and take all the bark. It s claimed that another tree will ?row up from the roots and through time more -barberry bark can be taken-. In this way a very important industry would be saved the province for all time to come.

SHOULD START AT VICTORIA \"Astonished at the size and fertility of the country\" 3ays Christopher Turner who is travelling through the overseas dominions In the interests of the Royal Colonial Institute. He further says: \"British Columbia I is unqeustionably the province best suited to British immigration, on account of its position, with a vast sea coast, and because of its splendid climate and agricultural advantages\" \"It would be quite in order to direct a stream of immigration here in such proportions as to place at least 50,000 men on the land and such a course will be strongly recommended to the government. The possibilities of the prairies are more in my opinion, for the bigger men who can go into wheat growing on a big scale, but for small holdings of agricultural lands I have soon no place in Canada to compare with British Columbia.\" But what strikes us most is the \"size and fertility\" of the soil.

It amounted to $.110.20 cr $36.73 an acre. .It-will be seen, therefore, that the actual net profit from these three acres was $391.30, or over $130 an acre.

' At present it appeared that the fire ranger drew his wages half from the government and half from a iund contributed to by the owners of timber limits.

Reeve Ansell suggested the employment of a man, a returned soldier if posible, for the remainder of the season, -to issue tire permits after careful- enquiry, in fact a municipal fire warden. At present Constable Pope did so but he had other duties to perform, People were inclined to see in an overcast sky safety . in burning brush, and given favorable atmospheric conditions the fire might get away and sweep Haney out of existence. Coun. Lilley was against it on principle.\" The Provincial Government should protect the settlers as well as the capitalists who owned timber limits. The reeve mildly pointed out that the timber owners contributed 50 per cent to the cost of the fire ranging besides their taxes. Coun. Dale mentioned as a curious fact that the residents on the south side of the Dewdney' trunk road could light fire without a permit, a; any time, but on the other-side were forbidden without a permit. It was ultimately decided to carry on as at present for the rest of the dry season. Mr. G. O. Buchanan appeared a- gain to request access to his property- He had no outlet in any direction. He understood that the matter had been left in abeyance until funds wero in an easier condition. Still he ventured to suggest was it worth while for the sake of $'100 to leave him in his prosent condition? Spencers had offered a dyke road on conditions of maintenance and he was told they would grant an indemnity bond -relieving the municipality of any claim for .damage through its breaking.

The '.yay of Fundy Is famous for its tides which are reputed to be the highest in the world, and the variation in the harbor depth, owing to the great rise and fall In the tides, is from 20 feet at ordinary neap tides to 2.8 feet of water at ordinary spring tides. St. John is the winter port of the C.P.R., and has splendid facilities for handling ocean traffic. The harbor is entered from two channels, the east channel being used for large vessels and that on the west side for smaller craft.. Numerous large berths stand in the harbor and alongside them there are many capacious warehouses and seme big grain elevators. The war has stimulated .shipbuilding in St. John. The chief attraction for the tourist to St.. John Is the Reversible Falls, a curious phenomenon due to the (Treat tides. When the tide of Fundy Bay is low the waters of the St. John river pour under the treat railway bridge In the form of rapids. But when the tide begins to rise it forces back the current of tho river and gushes up into its bedj with great force. This continues tin- | tit full tide. Then as the tide recedes, the immense volume of water in the bed of the rivnr dashes to the Bay In a massive whirling sheet of foam. At low tide the piled up waters of the river are\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'higher than the sea, and at high tide the incoming flood of the Bay of Fundy is higher than the river.
