Snethun.

A lively ball game was played last
Friday evening on the school grounds,
when the Abbotsford Seniors met with
the Matsqui junior boys in a baseball
game. To all appearances the Abbots-
ford boys came down to walk through
the game but decided that whem half the
game was over to put on their star
pitcher. At that they met defeat, the
score being 9-5 in Matsqui’s favor.

W. Baines is building a new residence
on his farm near here.

Matsqui’s streets are looking cool and
clean after a thorough oiling.

ed to be improving, but he is still con-
fined in the Bellingham hospital.

ternoon by J. Edwards, operating a gas
boat.

According to Chief Duncan of the Pro-
vincial Police, Mission, who has had the
