VANCOUVER. II. c.. May .. - The
Fraser river Is raging. The World says
editortaliy.
THE assurances given In many quar-
tiers that there was no danger OF high
water In Fraser river this year We're ut
terances of false prophets. as never be-
fore In the history of the river has there
been 80 rapid a rise as there has been In
the last week. Since the rise began. up
TO last Sunday night, II registered four
teen feet at Mission City. From that
point upwards. as far as Quesnelie. II
has been unprecedented. and settlers are
becoming alarmed at the certainty OF
high water prevailing. should warm
weather set In. as there Is every proba-
biiity of its doing. within the next two
weeks.
Between Vancouver and Agassis. on
the north side OF the Fraser. several mea-
are fulfilling all that II was expected they
would do. and the land Is quite dry. The
pumping stations are In operation, and
the volume OF water turned out by these
Is very great Much interest Is conferred
in these meadows and should the water
be kept OF the necessity OF the dfkfng OF
the prairie lands in the valley OF the
Fraser will be demonstrated So far.
nothing has vet been heard from the
delta. but the belief IL general that the
diking works there will be found to be
thoroughly effectuai, as well ms those on
Lulu island.
I'VE regret to state that in consequence
Of bungiing stupidity on the part OF some
one at Matsquf. the dixie gate was left
open. and the water is now rushing
through In "a perfect torrent. and the
hopes that were so fondiy cherished by
high water this season are TO be again
blasted"
