Pr ble Customs And Post Office 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- dred yards south of the village. Hazel 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.
