Editor ami Proprietor Kit! DAY,' MAY ii, 1.922 NEWSPAPER POLICY Times \"Boost\" How Much Does the For London? \"Why should a newspaper give free publicity in its columns?\" is the question which a Philadelphia paper propounds. The Corn Exchange of that city then tells of the dozens of requests which every newspaper receives daily to print free something which will help somebody else, but not the paper. It says:��������� Were Philadelphia to pay at commercial rales for all the free advci- tising which/the newspapers now contribute gratis the annual outlay for that item would exceed the whole- cost of the police department. - There is never a single copy of any of those papers printed on any day of the year which does not contain from one to twenty items either so-called news or editorial,- that is a. gratuity handed out for the common welfare and from which the paper directly or indirectly received not a penny of profit. The people of this city never expect a shipyard to do anything but build ships. A locomotive plant has done its duty \"when it. constructs railway engines. A hat factory, flour mill, clothing , factory, bank, . store, trolley road arid telephone is not reckoned upon to give, its time, service oi-, capital for boosting any enterprise..evcepting its own. Dozen of Requests But a newspaper has dozens of requests every day to ��������� print or to urge, to commend or damn, to beg or promote something out of which the owner of-the.,paper can\" derive no financial benefit. ,. He is expected to employ his capital in that way for the common welfare. A newspaper has but two- possible sources of-'income. ��������� One is from the sale of the paper and the other from the sale of advertising space.- Whatever in the paper does not attract readers to buy is not a profitable thing for the owner financially. Whatever in a paper takes' up space where--an advertisement'might be printed is-a direct and -immediate' loss. Very little of what is called \"civic boosting\" ever brings to a newspaper a single reader. Certainly no' begging, proposition does. Armenians always' require 'relief go it seems,- and the papers are expected to; print columns of appeals. But no person would ever think ot buying-a-newspaper just to read an article asking him to contribute . money to some one 6,000 miles away. An account of a prize- fight, baseball game,, murder, election, elopement in high social circles, a horse race, a battle or a hot debate in Congress; would sell papers. * Readers would buy'to see-that sort of thing. Yet the Philadelphia papers give daily many columns of space on white paper that costs them deadly to the boosting or begging or promoting propositions. And let Philadelphi- ans remember that such is not the case everywhere. The London Times The journal which\" for a century and a quarter has been regarded in all parts 'of the world as the greatest newspaper published is The London Times. But so far as booming any- ��������� thing in'London goes, the Time--- might as-well be printed in Tokio. It devotes but little of its resources ancl capital to\" that sort of thing. It may be contended that it is a newspapers legitimate business tc. urge and-ibeg arid boost. But it is not more the function of a newspaper than of a magazine and magazines thrive by- publishing only such articles as their editors believe the public wishefs to read. The magazine tries arid does secure circulation by interesting its readers and so gets advertisements. It publishes no' Belgian,- no Polish, nor American appeals, never urges' better street pa'ving and cleaning; does not coax people to contribute for the support ;bf hospitals and colleges; makes no demonstration for saving babies, which daily newspapers ar*- constantly asked to'rielp. Every newspaper gives' more of it.- service free than almost any other institution that iff not an endowed charity, while at the same time it voluntarily for what it deems to be the public good, refuses to accept profitable advertising. Who can estimate, therefore, the sum total of such a policy day In and day out; adhered toi;by our newspapers? proves on every count this contention. There was the prevailing ten- jj dency to abstain from' buying atj Salmon Arm, the same as is com-' plained of elsewhere ; Money was not in evidence on any hand,,, for weeks before the big sale was advertised. from 9 a. m. until dark, the Jackson store; as well as others, who, taking , But on Thursday;' the opening day, 'advantage of the big sale advertising, put on sales of their own and offered big values in order to get some of the money the big. sale advertising uncovered, r Up to 4 p. m. the sales at Jackson & Co.'s store had reached tho $2,GOO mark, and were still going strong. Mr. Jackson'himself said it was demonstrated clear-: ly to him the magnetic power of newspaper advertising, and fully satisfied him on that score.���������Enderby Commoner. Hon. .Manning Doh'erty, who frc- nucntly has expressed publicly ln's desire that the great apple industry of Ontario should be handled on a cooperative basis, was strongly in favor of, the scheme and stated that his department, would aid its accomplishment and its progress in every way-.possible. He anh'ouncpd that he intended to introducer legislation at the coining session with a view to offering financial assistance in some form for the- erection and establishment' of central packing bouses for the-cooperative handling of fruit. ��������� Canadian Horticulturist. JUST WHY? FATHER I used to wonder just why Father' never had much time to play. Used to wonder why he'd rather work each minute of the day. Used to wonder why he never loafed along the road and shirked; can't recall a time whenever Father played while others worked. Father didn't dress in fashion, sort of hated'clothing new. Style with him was not a passion���������he had' other things in view. Boys are blind to much that's going, on about 'em every day, and I had no way of knowing what became of Father's pay. All I knew was when 1 needed shoes I got 'em on the spot; most * the things for which I pleaded somehow Father always got. Wondered' season after season why. he never' took a rest, and that 1 might be the reason then I never even guessed. Saw his cheeks were getting paler, didn't understand just why, saw his body growing frailer, then at last I saw him���������die. Rest had come! his task's were ended; caliri was written on hit- brow; Father's life was\" big and' splendid���������and I understand it:now. ���������Detroit Free Press. The world's visible' supply ' of wheat is just now considerably lower than it has been for , two'years past. It amounts to 243,700,000 bushels, as compared with 321,912,000 bushels at- this time last year, says the Ottawa Journal. When a deduction of 30,000,000-bushels is' made for cash ' spring seeding, it is ' calculated that there will be barely sufficient to meet the demands for consumption until tlie next-crop'is harvested.' It is estimated that both Canada and the United States will be-completely sold out before first July next. While it is not desirable that ihe cost of bread should advance as the result of higher wheat values, the facts just indicated warrant the hope that the farmer will continue to receive present prices. It is' in everybody's interest that' his purchasing power should not be lowered. That could only happen if the selling price, of-his produce should drop, while the cost of the commodities he has to buy remained stationary or advanced. That economic law applies just as aptly to wages. So long as a parity is preserved between selling values and buying values, nobody can .be hurt . by fluctuations. The thing that counts is' the purchasing power of-money, which\" is the medium of exchange-for all commodities as well as labor.���������-Kamloops-Standard- Sentinel.

Members and delegates of the Ah-- botsford Board of Trade to the number of nearly thirty journeyed to New Westminster last Friday to attend the forming of the Associate*! Boards of Trade of the Fraser Valley. \"The ultimate success of th-* Sumas Reclamation Scheme is practically assured,\" stated Col. R. D. Davie's, chairman of tlie Provincial Land Settlement Hoard, in the course cf an illustrated lecture on \"Land Settlement and Development Problems in British Columbia!\" in the city hall, New Westminster Wednesday evening. The meeting was well attended arid an interesting ��������� and instructive evening was afforded to all present. Mr. Nels Nelson, president off the R. A. & I. Society occupied the chair. - Speaking on the feasibility of the scheme, Col. Davies' stated that after !considerable investigation, it had been found that reclaimed land is ���������worth more, and? costs less to put in shape-for farming, than wild, uncleared virgiifrsoil. The average cost of clearing wild land is approximately $300 per a/ore, while the cost of reclamation averages' $50 per acre Then again the Sumas district contained some the most fertile land in British Columbia and would undoubtedly give prolific yields. \" Reviews History A\" complete history of the work, of draining this area was given by the speaker who'Stated that, prior to 19 IS several tentative schemes for the reclamation of this land had been proposed by various engineers but nothing definite accomplished. In that year, however, a conference .was called and the difforent plans wore discussed. Eventually the present scheme, known as the Sumas Reclamation Scheme, was adopted. The estimated cost of- all work, including the installatiori'of pumps, is $1,800,- 000. Tho area drained by this scheme comprises some 33.000 acres of what is said to-be tiie best land in British-Columbia. The contract of the Marsh Construction Co. amounts to $1,182,000, of which slightly over * $784,000 . has been spent. Tlus amount has been well within the estimate. Describing the work In detail, Mr. Davies stated the complete, area to be.drained was four miles wide and sixteen miles long, between Chilliwack and Huntingdon. The plan is to drain Sumas.lake by' cutting off the Vedder river from its original course; and'diverting^ it\" into a huge canal. This' canal is* a three and one-half miles long and three hundred wide with an additional 100 feet on-either side called a break, making-a'\"total width of 500 feet. The theoretical length is 15 feet. In order to ensure every possible means -of. protection; large dykes have been constructed on'each side of this canal. The width of these dykes is 180 feet at the.base with an average \"height of 27 feet. This is two feet-above\" the'. 18 94'high water line. The width at the line of an ordinary high water is 46 feet, while at the 1894 high water mark there is a \"width of 12\" feet. In addition to these main'dykes various.other subsidiary ones liave also been constructed,* the\" most* important of these being'the-Fraser river dyke. There av'e also a number of interception ditches for 'drainage.' . ��������� Ready for Freshet By the time the freshet is expected the work will have progressed sufficiently to ably cope with an' average high water. In the event of extreme high water little difficulty is anticipated/,\" the top' of the dyke being ol -sufficient'width to enatfle/sand bags to be piled on, The actual work on the job , was also-described fully by the speaker, the methods., of constructing the huge dyke being of particular interest.- Bulkheads to hold the material in place\" was first erected. Following the completion of these, the mud was' pumped in suspension, or in liquid form, from the bottom of the cut, by. large suction dredges. The water soon ran off and \"the clay rapidly became hard. The bulkheads were then torn down and a drag; line excavator built the dyke to its proper height. The actual diverision of .the Vedder river to its new channel, which took place last week, was also described by Col. Davies. Disposition of Land Asked as to how the board proposed, disposing of the land, upon the completion of the scheme, Col. Davies replied that.'as yet no valuation had been placed on the reclaimed lands,'but that a conference with the land-owners and a representative from the Dominion government would be held late in the summer, when a valuation would be put on it and a scheme for disposing of it would be discussed. The money derived from the sale of the government lands would be used to help meet the cost of the work. The possibilities of Central B. C. as an agricultural district and the soldier settlements at Merville and Creston were .also treated by the speaker. At the close of the lecture, a hearty vote\" of thanks, proposed by Mr. L. V. Griffin, and seconded by Dr..'A. J. Holmes, was- tendered to Col. Davies. hi seconding the vote. Dr. Holmes stated that it was particularly-gratifying to the citizens of New Westminster to know that there was! no possible doubt as to 'the success of the scheme. Friends of Mr. Weatherbee, Jr. will be pleased to learn that he is progressing favorably since undergoing an operation tn the local hospital.

Continued from Page One\"* which the flood water of the Fraser ! could and did spread themselves. The river is dyked practically continuously. Sumas', the last great safety valve, is closed. The result is that the volume of water released by warm weather is now confined to a comparatively narrow channel and unless its course is made as free as possible and the outlet is adequate, it will constitute a grave danger. This danger, he pointed out, affects not only the farmers of the Valley, but the whole of the Lower Mainland, for if the dykes break- the \"great- transcontinental railway lines will bo put out of commission, possibly, for weeks, resulting in a c'tie-up disastrous to the entire industrial and commercial fabric. >,On Building Roads. Mr. Harry Stewardson, city engineer, contributed an interesting paper on g-jod roads. He traced the development of road systems from the first path beaten by the foot of prinv- itive man, through such notable- stages' as the road construction of the Romans, which reached its .peak in the famous Appian Way. to the hard surface roads of today. At all stages of >road construction methods had changed to meet the needs of changing methods of transportation. Road methods of today are dictated by\" the comparatively recent great development- of the motor vehicle, vehicle. Speaking-of divergent types of construction, . Mr.. Stewardson pointed out the impossibility of prescribing any one indiscriminately as' the.best, when there are so many factors entering into the problem dependent on local conditions. He stressed the importance of building roads in such a.manner that the first) cost is' not prohibitive and that permanence may be secured by judicious maintenance. ��������� Co-operation\"by .ConnnunWiesj Mr. W. L. Macuen, President of the Associated Boards of Trade of British Columbia, gave a thoughtful address on co-operation, in particular relation to the board of trade movement. Co-operation between individuals for the benefit of all transmutes the natural selfish ambition of each to prosper into an unselfish activity by which all prosper. There are many forms of organization through which this may be accomplished, but to his mind the board of trade is the one organization in which there is neither party, class or creed and which, unfettered by* any untoward influence, js the one great power in developing the economic life of the community. Proceeding into somewhat more speculative regions, Mr. Maclc-m vis- ioned a time when boards ��������� of trade will start a ripple which will grow into a wave to sweep the old party polities' system into the discard. ' He likened the system of opposing political parties in this province to running a business with a group of black haired men criticised by a group of red haired men, with a few bald headed men criticising both. Although he had been identified, with the Conservative party, he said, he would not care if it sank into oblivion accompanied by the'orgauized Liberal party, if by that means the country could achieve a business administration of its affairs. Toast to Visitors. A toast to tlie health of the visitors was proposed by Mayor J. J. Johnston and Mr David Whiteside. M. L. A. The former, in;'the course of his remarks, referred with satisfaction ito the growing realization that improvement of the Fraser River is' not New-Westminster's fight alone, but calls for the co-operation of all the Valley organizations and also that of ^Vancouver., Mr. Whiteside entered a plea for Nicomen Island, as one of the matters with which the new organization should strongly concern itself. Unless something is done, he said plainly, the island will be washed away one of these days. However, he feels that co-operation between the provincial and Dominion governments on this question is now nearer than it has ever been before Reply was' made by Mr. Hill, Mr. A. D. Paterson, M. L. A., and Mr. J. A. Catherwood, M. L. A., on behalf. of tiie 'yisitiH-s in general. ��������� ' Mi\\' Pateri-ion looked for good re- stilts, from the formation of such organizations, in clarifying and formula tins the es������'ential needs of commun- ilios.\" At present,\" he thought, -the eminent service for which they, arc ernment. service for*'which they are hardly ali'.o to pay. Mission in .Line. Mr. Catherwood confessed that when the movement for the formation of Valley boards, was first moved the people of M'ission were not very favorably impressed. , They were inclined to doubt whether vhero was room for, such an organization as' well as the Associated . Board of British Columbia. ' However, they feel that there is scope .for the new organization and a great field of usefulness. He too spoke at sonie , length on the theme of river improvements and their importance to the Valley at large, and of Nicomen Island. An Address on the Eraser Scheduled to speak on \"The Good Old Fraser River,\" Mr. J-. G. Robson delivered a brief but intensely interesting and inspiring., address on its possibilities for .industrial development.\" He- drew attention to tlie vast natural resources of the province in ��������� mineral ores, particularly iron and copper, the very foundation of industrial development, and the tremend )u.i water.powers lying latent perhaps only five per cent, having been utilized. These resources presage wonderful' development, and the Fraser River is' the natural location of the industrial plants that will be established to exploit them. It, has practically 12 5 miles of waterfront, flanked by unlimited land suitable for sites,, and the only thing necessary to start on 'this development is a decent river ^ channel in order that the products'of industrial plants may be shipped.to the markets of the world. Grain Trade \" Coming Mr. Robson touched also on westward shipment of grain, predicted the establishment of many elevators on the Pacific within the next ten. years. The Fraser River is the- logical location for these too. The guests last evening included Mr. R. Kerr Houlgate,- president of the Vancouver Board of-Trade, and Mr. J. B. Thompson; . Vice-president of that body, both of whom were called upon for a few words* and responded gracefully. Mr. .Houlgate assured the-audience that the Vancouver organization stands ready at all times to lend its��������� aid,- in ariy movement for.the benefit of the Fraser Valley, and on the strjength of. the fact that Point Grey, a portion, of Greater Vancouver, borders .the Fraser River, made a plea for Vancouver to be regarded as not at, least an entire outsider in the affairs of the Valley. Mr. Geo.' L. Cassidy . .proposed a toast to the ladies and Mr. Hill -.if Abbotsford paid his compliments to the press. Among the guests at the head table, in addition to those who spoke were observed Mr. C. B. Reeves, of Chilliwack, Mr. Geo. T; Thornton,, of Sai'dis, Mr. W. H. Wilson and Mr. L.
