Big Influx Of American Cars

Over thirteen hundred—1,328 to be
exact—American automobiles enter-
ed Canada through the Huntingdon
port during the holidays from July 1
to July 4, according to figures record-
ing by Customs officials. This is al-
most 300 cars more than during the
same period last year.

Canadian traffic was not particu-
larly heavy during the holidays, but
284 outgoing cars being registered, and
195 incoming.

Most of the American traffic went
east to Cultus, Chilliwack and Harri-
son, a comparatively small proportion
of it coming this way.

HUNTINGDON

ly meeting of the F. V. Associated

Hall Association Granted Incorporation

The A. S. M. Jubilee Recreation As-
sociation has been granted incorpora-
tion as a limited liability company by
the Provincial Registrar, and are now
empowered to allot stock. Messrs.
Yarwood & Durrant, solicitors, effect-
ed the incorporation, and are taking
stock in this community venture to the
extent of $125.

While it is not usually a good policy
to “look a gift horse in the mouth”
one cannot but speculate upon the
economy of the type of surfacing being
laid through Abbotsford, and question
whether, when time and effort is all
taken into consideration, if concrete
would actually cost so much more,
when its permanence is consid: red
Under all circumstances, the surfacing
is of inestimable value to the communi-
ty, and also to those who rosie along
the Yale road where it is being Jaid.

Door receipts at the community
dance held in Memorial Hall last Mon-
day amounted to about $260. A

Mr. and Mrs. Groth and Reginald
Groth, and Mr. Edwin Grenfell of Se-
attle were the guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Mouldey over the holidays. Mrs.
Groth is Mr. Mouldey’s sister, and for-
merly resided in Poplar.

Sale of one of thel argest fireclay de-
posits on the Coast has just been com-
pleted at Hillbank on the E, & N. Ry.

England has been placed in charge of

SYNOPSIS OF
LAND ACT AMENDMENTS

PRE-EMPTIONS

Vacant, unreserved, surveyed Crown
lands may be pre-empted by British
subjects over 18 years of age, and by
aliens on declaring intention to become
British subjects, conditional upon resi-
dence, occupation, and improvement
for agricultural purposes.

Full information concerning regula-
tions regarding pre-emptions is given
in Bulletin No. 1, Land Series, ‘‘ How
to Pre-empt Land’’ copies of which can
be obtained free of charge by address-
ing the Department of Lands, Victoria.
B.C., or to any Government Agent,

Records will be granted covering only
land suitable for agricultural purposes,
and which is not timber-land, i.e., car-
Tying over 8,000 board feet per acre

Highest Farm In District Shows
Thriving Family Garden

One of the best-kept and thriving
little vegetable and flower gardens in
this district is to be found at one of
the highest points in this district—near
the summit of Sumas mountain, behind
Clayburn. It is kept by Mrs. Bassini
and her daughters, and contains a nice
variety of everything that a family plot
should. Mr. Bassini is employed at
Kilgard, but has found time to clear
and cultivate a considerable acreage,
his field crop showing a surprising
growth for the elevation in which it is
Situated. Kunning water has been
piped to the house and barn from a
mountain spring, and the house veran-
dah offers a commanding view of the
entire west, it being claimed that ship-
ping can be seen outside Vancouver
harbor on clear days.

O. W. Reese, American motorist, was
fined $25 and costs in Abobtsford po-
lice court for drinking in a publi
place. i

The Efficacy of

e e
Medicine
Primarily depends upon the na-

ture of the prescription—a cor-
rect diagnosis of the disease.

But almost as important is the
care exercised in filling that pre-
scription—the competency and
conscientiousness of the pharma-
cist—and the quality of drugs at
his disposal.

With two qualified pharmacists,
and a well-kept, fresh supply of
high-grade, potent drugs, this
store offers you safe and compe-
tent service.

First Candy Hotel

AS hotel within an hotel was made
possible recently by John Meyer,
pastry chef of the Chateau Lake Louise
who produced the model of the new
Canadian Pacific ‘Hotel Saskatche-
wan’ seen above and which was an
unusual table ornament at the ban-
quet attending the opening of the
new hotel at Regina by President
Beatty in the presence of Lieutenant-
Governor H. W. Newlands of Saskat-
Seven and other prominent persons,
od May24.

The model is made entirely of sugar
and closely resembles the new hotel
that is regarded as one of the finest
buildings in the west.

The chef found out that building
hotels, especially out of sugar wasa
bigger task than expected. Had it
been a wedding cake to adorn the

task for him would have be: im
