Night Calls 32 Phone 8 Sumas Charges High Says Premier Tolmie Consideration of Problem Promised By Government “What must be done to make a success of the reclamation area is to put the land on a proper valuation, under which farmers can operate successfully.” So stated Premier Tolmie, speaking at Chilliwack recently. He said the government realized the necessity of making this fertile land into an area of prosperous and contented farmers, that this was not possible witha re- clamation charge of $14 an acre against the property, and that one of the objects of the present trip was to ’ Matsqui Boy Checked In Stealing Sumas Doctor’s Automobile A 15-year-old Matsqui lad started out to see the world in Dr, Nugen’s Buick sedan last week, but did not get far as he was unable to operate the machine. The car had been left in front of- the Swail hotel, Sumas, on Saturday night, and to repeat the story as told by the Sumas News (but omitting the youngster’s name)—‘“the big Buick, nearly new, evidently looked good to him....his destination was not revealed, but it is presumed that he was headed for Bellingham, Seattle or Hollywood, His plans were frustrat- ed because of his inability to operate the car. He was first discovered by Patrol- man Eli Sims attempting to get the ear in motion. Goodnaturedly, not the youth’s intentions at gain a first-hand k: ige of the area, with a view to working out some practical settlement scheme. The character of the soil had to be stud- ied and its suitability to the growing of various crops determined While not committing his govern- ment to any definite course of action as yet, in regard to a revision of the es, the premier expressed that, | ‘Municipal Dlants Cease Operations PENS 1927, no fewer than 181 municipal elec- tric light and power plants were sold to privately operated companies. Tt was found in all cases that better service or lower tates could be obtained by absorbing the systems in the large inter-connected lines of private concerns. The day of the individual municipal power noe is past. The widely spread power systems of privat companies can give better service to the pi i lower rates, VANCOUVER in his opinion, it. might be profitable _|for the government to assume a por- tion of the charges at the outset in order not to retard the settlement of the*land. All possible data will be Se- cured from officials of the govern- ment, to be put before the cabinet, so that body may know the facts before dealing with the project. “What we want to do is to put the scheme on a satisfactory basis, so far as charges on it are concerned, and then get farmers working it. What we want is not just farmers, but suc- cessful farmers,” the premier sald. ELECTRIC RAILWAY BUILD SPUR LINES Concrete evidences of the expan- ‘sion of industry in the province are Seen in the construction, now in pro- gress, of a number of spur tracks from main lines on the British Co- lumbia Electric Railway system to various plants in Vancouver and the lower mainland. One of the most important of these works in the laying of a branch line to the Sumas reclamation area, on the Chilliwack interurban line. The spur will extend 2,000 feet, and is in- tended to serve farmers of the dis- trict whose produce is destined for New Westminster and beyond points. Further work in the Valley is pro- gresing to link the G. N. Rly. line to Kilgard brickyards with the B. C. &. Rly main line at Abbotsford. ee this will in- B. E. TO first, Mr. Sims gene to his rescue and helped him to get started. On being questioned by patrolman, he said the car belonged to his father, a Mr. Jopnson, who lived out in the country But by the time the boy got the car under way Sims began to suspicion that all was not right. So he hasten- ed to the local immigration office and looked up the license number, and found that the car was that of Dr, Nugen. In company with patrolmen, Paul Thompson and Albert Wolstenholme, Sims started out in quest of the run- away youth, who had by that time three-quarters of a mile start. How- ever, owing to the boy’s inability to operate the car efficiently, he was overtaken about two and one-half miles out on the Sumas-Nooksack pavement, wabbling about on the pavement, making it difficult for the officers to run around and stop him. The youth was brought back to Su- mas and loged in jail over night. Sunday morning _he was given his breakfast in the jail, his cell door being left unlocked while he was eat- ing. The officer in charge stepped back into the office for a few minutes, and upon returning noted the absence of the lad. Investigation revealed that the boy had escaped through a back entrance, But the boy’s clea- yverness in making his escape) availed him naught, as a patrolman picked , him up afoot on the highway just east of Nooksack Stinday afternoon. sent to the county jail in Bellingham.
