Building Desired In Abbotsford

An important resolution, relative to
the white farmers’ struggle to meet
Oriental competition, was submitted by
S. A. Cawley, secretary of Sumas Co-
operative Association, and endorsed by
Abbotsford District Board of Trade at
last Friday’s meeting in Atangard ho-
tel. It follows:

Whereas it is a well known fact that
the Orientals of this Province very
largely control the Potato and Vege-
table markets of the Pacific Coast, and
that they are year by year increasing
their control of the Fruit market.

And whereas the Farmers of the
Delta Co-operative Ass'n have by 90
percent of their acreage, signed a bind-
ing agreement that they will not Lease

It was decided to ask the Village
Council attempt to open up Cyril St.
and Hazel St. railroad crossings. Cy-
Til street intersects with Essendene ay-
enue at Hudson’s corner, and serves
the Haddrell and adjoining properties,
joining Lower Sumas road several hun-

street parallels Essendene one block
north, and although the railroad cross-
ing on this street is not opened, scores
of school children regularly use it, at
great danger clambering between the

Expect To Develop Valuable
Coal Seams At Cultus Lake

Seven seams of valuable coal have
been uncovered near the east corner of
Cultus lake by a crew of miners under
direction of M. Topham and Alec. Cas-
per, experienced operators. While the
property was staked and prospected
for coal as long as 20 years ago, it was
only last winter that any development
work of consequence was done, when
Mr. Topham commenced to drive a
tunnel just below the Columbia river
road, searching for gold and silver, of
which colorings were found during the
initial work. If the quality of the coal
is as high as confidently thought, the
area will become a busy section within
a few years.

Seams of a similar grade of coal
are to be found on Sumas mountain,
and claims covering them have been
held by a group of Abbotsford men for
several years. At one time the Clay-
burn company became interested in the
deposits, in the hopes that an abun-
dance of suitable coal, so accessible,
to their clay deposits, would provide
for them a combination of raw mater-
jals rare in the experience of fireclay
manufacture. We understand, how-
ever that the samples of coal submitted
for examination did not test sufficient-
ly high in heat units for economical
use in firing the clay kilns.
