HILLS AROUND CULTUS LAKE MAY BE LOGGED OFF SHORTLY (Chilliwack Progress) There is a probability of the timber- er area surrounding Cultus Lake being logged off this season, according to in- formation coming to the Cultus Lake Park Board and others interested in the conservation of the park area. Pre- parations are being made by the log- ging concern to extend the present log- ging railway into the lake im the vic- inity of Smith Falls in preparation to cutting the timber in the area sur- rounding the lake, rafting it to Smith's Fall’s for transportation to the boom- ing grounds at the junction of the Sumas and Fraser rivers. Timbers within Cultus Lake Park area would not be affected. as this was purchased by the two municipalities when the park was taken over in 1923. The logging off of the lands sur- rounding the lake would be a devast- ation that would mar for many years to come one of the most beautiful set- tings in this part of the country, and an area that should be conserved for the use and enjoyment of the-public. It is understood that Mr. Ingham, of Kansas, on behalf of the owners of the timber, is willing to negotiate in the matter of conserving this timbered area, provided something within reason can be done soon. Under the terms of the transfer of railway lands from the Dominion to the provincial govern- ment a few years ago, the area comes within the jurisdiction of the provinclal department of lands. Under the Dom inion department. a reserve was placed on this area. but in the transfer this provision disappeared. The park board is in communication with the provincial member, Hon. Wm. Atkinson, in the matter. The situation at the moment as the value of the lake mer resort and recreation centre coneerned, is serious, and developments will be watched with interest by hund- \ reds of Chilliwack and Fraser Valley Seelsadt Marta Lunstrom PEARDONVILLE SCHOOL Proficiency list for March: Gr, 1B—Konako Oka, Akila Oka.
