Robbers Who Stole $250 Worth of Goods From M. DesBrisay's Captured The store of M. DesBrisay & Co., was robbed once too often in order for the night thieves to get away. It would appear so at least. On Monday Chief Constable Clarkson received word from Chief Smith in Vancouver that four men had been located in Vancouver with stolen goods on them lhat answered the de: sciption of the goods stolen in Mission City, Chief Constable Clarkson having as soon as the police were informed here of the theft, sent a description of the stolen goods to the Chief at Vancouver as well as other points. On Tuesday Chief Constable Clark son and Mr. W. W. Elliott of the M. DesBrisay <& Co.'s store went to Vancouver, the latter to identify the goods and the Chief to bring the men to Mission City for trial.

No wonder then.that we see important discussions in these cities in re gard to the marketing .question and that of cheap money for farmers. The city man is always planning for himself a few acres of land. It is the city man, who in his dreams, however, has a successful poultry or chicken ranch; it is he who has in his dreams, the immense profits from a few acres of fruit A.ctual experience, however, in the Frasor Valley, at the present time, does not warrant the fond, dreams of a prospeerous Fraser Valley. There is prosperity, however, but not the financial gains to the farmer that should be, considering the importance of the work and tlie possibilities. Two things.are wrong with farming iii the Fraser Valley. The marketing of the produce is an'uncertain quantity: and the cost of clearing the land and placing it under cultivation , is too strenuous a task for the ordinary individual, of small means.' Will-the Fraser Valley Development League's new departure of establishing, centres in our cities solve this question? It is to be hoped that It will and should receive the assistance' of all who wish to see a Greater Vancouver and a business New Westminster. It may be that the matter of cheap money will be solved by the crusade of Mr. Alex. i Lucas, M. L. A., through the province. And it is hoped that every Board of Trade, Farmers' Institute, Women's Institute and Agricultural Association in the Valley will take the matter up and send resoulions to the government asking that an Agricultural Credit be established within the province in connection with farm settlement. Many dollars are sent out of the province each year for food supplies for the citizens of Vancou- veer and New Westminster\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\u00BDnot that onough cannot be grown in the Fraser Valley, but that what is grown is not wisely marketed, thus discouraging any endeavor to produce inort. ' .Too much is already grown in the Fraser Valley at the present time considering the present marketing conditions. A prosperous Fraser Valley will mean not only a great purchasing power by the farmer; It will also mean the more prosperous merchant, more \"Made- in-B. C.\" goods used by the residents. Every dollar sent out of .the province means just that many dol- ' lars going to build up another country\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\u00BDa foreign country, most probably.' That .institution, manufacturing or mercantile that brings money into the province is doing the noble work of building up a great and glorious country; while the business that sends dollars out of the province is on a par with the destruction at present going on in Europe where the war fiends of the Kaiser are destroying in the run over the Belgian and French territory It is a known fact that foreign products of the land are brought into Vancouver,while our produce lies rotting in the Fraser Valley fields. Those responsible for this might be classed as worse than parasites in the community. A dollar saved by sending out of the province for either food stuff or manufactured articles, that can be procured in B. C. with the \"Made-in-B. C.\" brand on it, means just that many dollars less to develop our own country, retarding bur progress; but the dollars brought into our province and the spending of them within our own agricultural districts of cities,, mean just that many- dollars towards the solution of the much vexed labor question of our cities. The merchants condemn the householder for sending to the departmental stores for goods, while probably, at the same time that merchant's household are consumers of foreign vegetables, potatoes and fruit\". Now, where's the difference? We believe as a result of the war, there will be a tremendous desire on the part of the inhabitants of afflicted districts to fiee from conditions whic^h have given rise to such a terrible upheavel,. and that they will in great numbers domicile in Can- , ada\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\u00BDparticularly in B.

Not only will the people come from Great Britain, where there is much talk at the present time of emigrating to Canada, after this thing is finished at Berlin. Well- to-do business men and people of income, afraid of the terribly heavy taxation that will follow the end of the war. One writer says \"the biggest rush that has ever taken place will look like the cortege at a pauper funeral compared with the exodus that will begin early in the New Year, or as soon as the war is over, if the Prussians haven't had enough by the beginning of the year of 1915.\" Not only will Britain send her numbers, but many will come from Belgium, being too heart broken to start a- new in the country where they once were prosperous; from France, owing to the friendly relationship between Britain and France, established during the Allied successes during the war; even from Germany, where the common people are not in accord with the ruling class\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\u00BDthe Prussianism, and to thus escape the tremendous taxation that will Inevitably have to be imposed to pay the big war indemnities to Belgium, France and Britain. No country in the world offers such advantages to these people as does Canada, and particularly B. C, with Its fertile soil and excellent climate. Canada in Britain means British Columbia. Milk tests at Rossland recently show that the dairymen of that city are, putting up a larger percentage of butter fat- in the milk supplied to their customers. The hardships of war are terrible Only one road show has visited the city of Cranbrook since the opening' of the war. But is B. C. prepared to extend to these people the attractiveness that the prairie provinces are? Are we prepared to place them on the land and guarantee to them that the productiveness of our land and the beauty of our climate will make them a happy, contented and prosperous people? Many people will say we are, while others who have studied the question will say that we are not. The Fraser Valley Develoment League, by its movements, says, no; Mr. Alex. Lucas, M-. L. A.,, who has given the matter serious thought and investigation, says, no; we want better marketing facilities and agricultural credit; Hon.-W. J. Bowser, the attorney-general, says no, \"there are disabilities attendant upon our efforts to place settlers upon our lands in any large numbers.\" However he believes \"a new era is about opening in respect to the future of the province is so far as the land settlement . problem is concerned, and that one of the most important matters dealt with at the forthcoming session of the- legislature will be the whole question, of land settlement and aids to agricultural developments. To anticipate and appreciate the extent of the responsibility which rests upon us in this connection seems to me a prudent thing to do at this time.\" It lies within the power of the provincial government to make the life of the farmer in B. C. much more pleasant than at the present time, and it is hoped that tlie knowledge of this fact will lead to higher and better things for the man who has-the \"back to the land\" beo in his bonnet. . Knowing the failings of our present system it is up to the government to remedy the matter at as early a date as possible, and having a little faith left yet in the good that is in them we expect to see an economical, social and moral welfare of B. C. advanced by the acts of the next sesion of the Legislature, and for the advancement of our province and the Canadian pride that is in us. The guests may come to stay: bo ready.

Let me .tabulate in their chronological sequence what can best-be called \"The Things on Which the Germans did riot Count\"''' Germany's Miscalculations - .1. The impregnable unity of the Triple Entent. Germany regarded the moment-for drenching Europe in blood as ideal for three outstanding reasons\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^British pre-occupation' with Ulster;: social and , industrial strife, supposedly.containing the seeds of re volution, in Russia, and the unreadiness of the French Army. 2. The unwillingness of Italy to lend herself to the aggressive purposes of the German \"bosses\" of the Triple Alliance. Foreign office bench men in Berlin were busy to the last circulating \"authoritative\" \"\" state- merits that the Italian government had furnished Germany and Austria with \"unqualified assurances\" of her readiness to fulfil the obligations of the cases foederis. .3. The condemnation of practically the entire civilized world, from Cape Horn to the Behring Sea\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\u00BDfrom Amsterdam across Europe to Yokohama\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\u00BDfrom. Cape to Cairo. The desertion of her cause by America has been one of the cruelest blows Germany has thus for suffered. It represents the collapse of the Kaiser's fondest dream. 4. The remotoest possibility that the German army, or any considerable section of it, could be beaten by any living force, least of all the army of Belgium. If anybody in possession of his normal faculties had suggested that the Belgians were capable of withstanding the onslaughts of the three German army corps he would .have been sympathetically looked upon as a candidate for Dall- dorf\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\u00BDthe Germany Colony Hatch.- When I left the hospitable soil of Germany, the Belgians were to be \"swept into the sea\" Others, less blodthirsty, said: \"Belgium will cease My Silesian friend, Count O., is a \"well informed\" German; so I must conclude that the surprise which he meant should strike ' terror to my heart are some of those I have enumerated. I imagine Berlin,, if it knows the truth, is'talking less glibly tonight than it did of the two billion pounds indemnity to be wrung from the French \"this time\" instead of the paltry two hundred million pounds extorted in '71; for the religious faith in the invincibility of the German war-machine has received a mighty shock. The war of Miscalculations has begun, but only begun. Lifelike in Death The asphyxiating powers of modern artillery are often the subject of discussion. That, the fumes of the famous French three-inch shells have a most deadly effect in an enclosed space, at any rate, is shown by the. scene which met the eyes of the French, when they entered a chateau occupied by Germans, which had been bombarded. On entering the drawing room they found a company of Wurtemburgers petrified in .action. Some were standing in the .windows taking aim; with their fingers still pressed on the.trigger; others,were playing cards and smoking cigarettes. An officer, was there with liis mouth open, in the act of dictating an order. The figures loked, absolutely lifelike and had preserved the positions which they had occupied scarcely an hour before,; when they unconsciously breathed death.

The club is exceedingly grateful for- the excellent music contributed by Miss Grace Portsmouth, whose playing created a very favorable impression; also to Mr. Forbes Stuart whose rousing -two-steps could not help but add to his already established popularity as a musician; and to Messrs Clayton and Scott for their commendable support. Great zest was given to the two- step \"it's a Long Way to Tipperary\" When all joined vocally in the chorus niaking the number particularly enjoyable and. called for repeated encores. The Club wishes to acknowledge their indebtedness to the newly formed orchestra, composed of the a- bove three gentlemen, who generously. offered their services free; and whose music and enterprise is worthy of the highest Support, and encouragement; being undoubtedly \"a great acquisition to Mission City. We also take this opportunity of expressing the Club's thanks to Messrs Macdonald and Watson, of the Matsqui Hotel for the kind loan of their piano for that evening A,tastefully decorated table presided over by Mrs. Middleton, .where the thirsty dancers could refresh themselves with ice cold lemon punch, was an added attraction. One of the objects of the Club is to foster sociability and the gentlemen of the' entertainment committee proved themselves ideal hosts and added greatly to the enjoyment of the i evening by introducing the guests so that all'should feel welcome;- arid are to be congratulated on the success of their efforts, which - illustrates what may be accomplished along this line when all work in unison. This, the first of the socials arranged by the Helping Hand Club, having proved such a success goes, much to maintain the decision of the ladies to continue the socials every two weeks throughout the winter.

Brisk trading was the feature of the market in New Westminster on Friday morning, and despite the. inclement weather'there, was a fair at- tendanance of both valley and city residents and the supplies in all sec- were in abundance. The prices were mainly stationary with the exception of eggs, which.took another advance of 5 cents the dozen, making 05 cts. | retail and 50 to 55 ,vcents wholesale j A small number of vendors however still sold at the old price of 60 cents retail. As usual the poultry department attracted the greatest numbers of buyers and with a large number of live chickens and ducks this section presented an unusually busy scene The prices were a little lower. Fourteen to fifteen cents per puond was asked for live chickens and the same price for ducks. / Broilers were 13 to 14 cents a pound. Dressed clucks were lowered to 20 cents per pound and dresed hens remained at 25 cents a pound. There was a .large number of pigeons and squabs for salo at 25 to 35 cents each, for the pigeons and 35 cents to: 40 for the squabs. Apples were also in large quantities'and sold rapidly at 7 5 cents to $1-15 a box. Some unwrapped Kings and Baldwins wero bargains at 75c a box. By the sack second grade apples were ready sellers at $1. Pears were cheaper, going at 75 cents to 90 cents a box. A small number of wild ducks sold at the usual price of $1.25 a brace for mallards and 60 cents for widgeon and 3 5 cents for teal. Young pigs were readily disposed of at $2 to $4. each, the size and ! age determining the 'price.
