C, March 2S.���������In the rugliest game ever witnessed in these parts the Chilliwack basket ball team led by \"Doughie\" Spring of Minto Cup fame won a gory victory ever the ���������local boys. Matsqui opened the game in lightning fashion scoring seven points in rapid succession against one for their opponents. Then began the wierdest exhibition of basket ball within the memory of fans and players alike. The game was played by 1919 rules Chilliwack version. Nothing was barred but aerial bombs and machine guns. The \"veiled\" first was much in evidence. Bleed ing, sore and groggy from the rough treatment they had received the Matsqui boys limped from the Moor at the end of the first half with the score 18 to 7 against them. The local team refused to take the floor for the second half but after a brief conference decided to \"soe it. thrrough\", over vigorous protests of. the infuriated spectators. The boys went into the final session with the \"neverBay die\" spirit that is fast becoming a Matsqui tradition and in spite of the handicap of playing by foreign rules broke even with the visitors in the final session the game ending 34 to 23 for Chilliwack. \"Doughie\" Spring of the famous New Westminster Salmohbollies piav- cd for Chilliwack and in spite of his tender years gives promise of becoming one of the greatest amateurs in the game. The local boys are busy counting their bruises, but take pride in the fact that they \"played the game\". Grimly turning the other cheek to the roughhouse tactics of their opponents they won a great victory for clean honest sport In the Fraser Valley.

BATES^ Editor and.Proprietor ' Published Eymt Friday .' . FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 1919 ., . .. .j...������������������. ' With the beginning of this month Lhe.geiier-. al public cease to subscribe to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, but the work oi' the Fund still goes on���������until the end ol the demobilization, of the Canadian soldiers. Jl' there are not sul'iic- iqnt funds in the treasury of the Patriotic Fluid to meet- all demands from this date oil, tiie Dominion government will come to the assistance of tlieVund. ' The pay to the soldiers' ..'dependents will still go on. The Fund lias not been a popular one with the public. So far as we are concerned we have always felt that the public v/u-e given, a privilege, when tlie Government ashed them to contribute voluntarily. That privilege was never appreciated by many; while on the other hand contributions were made in the hundreds and thousands of dollars by men who could well afford to do so. But the ordinary worker did not see it in the same light as the rich man- But if the method of getting the money'was not considered the very best that' could have been planned, it should on account of its very great importance have .been well supported. The cost of administering the fir.id has been very light. The number of salaried persons handling the fund throughout the Dominion' was very small, .consequently the percentage of expenses, as compared with the handling of like large amounts, was a mere trifle. All local secretaries throughout the jTDvince and the dominion did the work gratis, as did all collectors, without exception so i';.r as .-we know. Had the government.taxed the people for this fund the expenses would have been much greater and compared;with. The amount of money given thve soldiers' dependents we,believe there would have been more mistakes. We are judging by the number of .setters that have been written locally about other funds to soldiers' wives. There was one thing too very much in its favor, it came regular, y and thus always acceptable and dependable. Fault can be found with all funds that have been.collected for.distribution during the war but we believe, none has. done its duty better than the Canadian Patriotic Fund. Locally, there is a- shortage in making up the full amount for the last two months. On the other hand there, are on the secretary's book some promises unfulfilled. Shall we let all these go? We believe, although, sometimes we are out of our reckoning, that there is something going to happen in provincial politics before very long. That something is a pr jvincial election during the coming summer. We have always taken notice of pre-election. \\ signs and the present signs point more to ;..n election this summer than on many previt ���������:��������� 3 occasions The decks are being cleared off, .\\ ady for the coming fray���������it may be a calamity. Everything is awaiting the reports handed in by the different Liberal candidates and their friends. If it appears at.all favorable the Oliver government will go to the country ere a -lotfoer session. Of- course that- report may not appear as favorable to \"Honest\" John as he would like, but he is, so some of his besc' riends say, ready to take a chance.. - If the Oliver-government is rei^y, to take a chance in*testing the will of the ] eople, it is decidedly true that the people a::e willing to.. give their verdict. Their verd-.ct will un doubtedly be given with no uncertain sound. \\e fouadat- ,-epeated so ������,ck n eyed. The statement that \"credit is ion of modern business\" has been often that the phrase has become 1 What is credit? Primarily, it is reputation���������a moral, not a financial thing. As such, it is possessed e- qually by the millionaire and by the young man, just starting in married li\"e, who buys household furniture on the instalment plan. British Columbia is a great pbu-o for credit. Doing business on a man's word, or a firm's word is practised to such an extern that sometimes Urge businesses arc done almost solely on credit.. There is no asset more valuable to a man, than a reputation for being one wi o plays the game. Let the business house or community pursue a different policy and in a Jew months the delinquency will be known \"to the trade\" throughout the country. Integrity and past business counts for much in credit. Both must be established. It pays to play the game, v France is accused of holding :ip pea.ee negotiations. It must however be remembered that France was invaded by Germany but she wants to prevent an occurrence of invasion if at all possible. Peace negotiations to France is a more serious matter than to either England or.the United States. Who can blame France for wanting to make the precautions as permanently adequate as possible, even if there is a little delay. .-���������f'The Rhine according to France is the logical defensive frontier. If France held ail the bridges and the territory on one side of tlie Rhine river, it would be impossible,to surprise France on- any future occasion. In justice to France the countries who have fought side by side' with her should see that all precautions are taken to safeguard one of the noblest people on the continent of Europe��������� the French. ..While.this is being done for France the Allies should not forget Italy's claims against an enemy country, and see that the northern part of the Adriatic is safeguarded for Italy.

On'-'the northeast side of Sulphur Mountain, where the sulphur bubbled and a wondrous cave of -gloomy pools and 'stalactites-promised attractions for future tourists he erected a small log hut and placarded It with a roughly planed hoard branded \"hotel\" in letters of charcoal. Consequently, while waiting for the rush of tourists he fed and bathed-stray railroaders. trappers, guiles and prospectors. He was a free and easy landlord, i- there tain storms soon, wiped out the strue* tare. To-day there is modern housing Ih the big Canadian resort for three or four thousand traaaienta.

N.., solo manufacturer; not sold by druggists. Saskatoon, Sask. There are many people who look upon the Fraser Valley as the coming Garden of Eden, with farming opportunities - unexcel ied anywhere in the province of British Columbia. In days gone hy a noted politician remarked that British Columbia was \"a sea of mountains\" but he forgot also to add that in among these beautiful snow-capped mountains there were innumerable beautiful and fertile valleys with' climates superior to any other part of this great dominion of ours. He was not far- sighted enough to know that in these valleys a population could be accommodated, rich and prosperous, larger than if the province of B. C. were one vast level plain like the prairies. But such is the case. An acre of land in some of these valleys will in farm produce, adapted to the soil and climate, grow most probably more than would three or four of the prairie land to the east of the Rocy'Mcuntains.and yet be productive much longer than the prairie land. The prairie lands are adapted to the growing of grain while the valleys of British Columbia are more adapted to fruit, of all kinds, and other farm products outside of grain. An acre of land on the prairies does well if it produces seventy bushels of wheat to the acre, and $2.00 per bushel is a most excellent price; in fact half that amount before the war was considered a happy medium. Figure it out, 70 bushels of wheat at $2.00 per bushel brings $140 per acre. $500 to $1000 per acre is a common remuneration from an acre of land in some of the valleys of British Columbia. There are cases where it will exceed the $1000, especially under favorable conditions.. Ten tons of potatoes at $20 a ton beats the best wheat land productions that can be found anywhere in Canada.. Without going into details -ilong any particular line the people of British Columbia can truthfully say that the valley--, of the province are equal to the best if not better than most agriculural land found in the whole of Canada���������and that is saying something that any Canadian may well be proud of, for Canada���������from Atlantic to Pacific���������'is ideal agricultural land, the heritage of which Canadians may well be proud of. One of the largest, and shall we s ly the most fertile of the many valleys of British Columbia is the Lower Fraser Valley. In. :his we include the district to the south sitlo of the Fraser from Chilliwack to the Delta, and on the north-side from Kent to Burnahv. There is nothing to excel this district for fertility of the soil and the climate. It is a desirable place to live in as well as to work in. The man living in Chilliwack will tell you that Chilliwack is the ideal Garden of the Fraser Valley; while the resident of the Delta will claim his district as the banner for big crops; the Maple Ridge old-timer will tell you that if you want the real thing in soil and climate he has it right at his back door; and the happy fnii- growers of Mission will call attention to the big results attained by the properous and successful growers: and other district will also put forward their claims to precedence in soil and climate. There is that healthy rivalry throughout the Fraser Valley that often puzzles the man looking for a home, and the stranger at our gates looking for a home becomes so filled up with our claims that sometimes he leaves and settles in the Okanagan where the people do not boast so much of their productive soil and sunny climate. Yet who will say that we do boost too hard or too earnestly and honestly. SBa^smKBB&msssasEm There are at the present time well settled districts in the Fraser Valley, but there is still room for many hundreds of thousands of the most prosperous little farms immaginable. It is said that from twenty to forty acres' of land in the Fraser Valley is large enough for any man. Some people claim that ten or fifteen acres is enough. But the size of the farm depends on what particular line of crop the owner wants to grow. Some men experienced in garden truck, and fruit growing would find ten acres a good large farm. Many of our best fruit farms are about that size. But giving all their choice of size., and the valley well settled it could be made to produce, and not hurt the land, a thousand times more than it does at. the present time. For transportation no district could be better accommodated. On the north side of the river we have the great transcontinental rail- j way, the C. P. R. On the south side, particularly around Abbotsford, they say all roads lead to Abbotsford. The roads on the south side there is the Canadian National, the Great Northern, the C. P. R. and the B. C. Electric. And last but not least there is river transportation. All these roads loa. to the cities of New West- minser and Vancouver at the coast; while for the prairies, used by fruit growers, the two thoroughfares are the C. P. R. and Canadian National. What more could be.desired in the way of transportation, except it be- better rates? For highways there is the Dewdney Trunk road on the north side of the river from the coast to beyond Mission City���������with the prospects if its being built to the east end of the district to connect with the proposed national auto road to the eastern boundary of the province. On the south side of the river, there is the Yale road extending from the coast to a- way east of Chilliwack district. These main arteries are connected with the surrounding districts by municipal roads. These roads are sure to become better within the next ten years. There is an agitation on now to have both main roads macadamized. It sounds big but some of us remember when the greater part of both roads were but mere trails. Climate���������there is none to excel it in Canada The sunny south of California may be preferred by some, but .:t is doubtful if for 365 days of the year it surpasses the climate of the Fraser Valley. Our coldest clay is relished by the man from the prnirie as a miid���������very mild��������� winter day. With the best of soil, excellent transportation, livable climate, and the markets of the coast cities at our doors, and the open markets of the prairies brought near by two transcontinental railways, there should be oportunities innumerable in the Fraser Valley for the man. who will devote his time to the tilling of the soil. This paper is particularly pleased to see the Soldiers' Settlement Board taking the Valley into consideration, and seeding its representatives into the various parts of the district to select land for homes for soldiers. But the land owner must not forget that there is no land boom coming. The boom will come later when we get more people on the soil. Keep the price of real estate down and give them a chance to select good men as your neighbors. The soldier wants to come to the Fraser Valley to farm if we only let him and make the conditions acceptable. Make the prices right to intending 3oldier farmers.
