BRITISH COLUMBIA FARM NEWS
THE FRASER RIVER VALLEY

% cents dozen and going as high as
from 60 to rs cents.
Stockraising, another important
branch of agriculture, is practised in
this valley with great profit. Both
pork and beef bring a good price at
surrounding markets, pork selling on
the New Westminster market dressed
during the past year at an average OF
10 and II cents. The mild climate
lends itself to the profitable raising OF
hogs as we'll as of cattle and poultry
and the three can be combined to the
great profit of the stockraisers. The
dairy herds of this valley include some
of the finest specimens of thorough
bred stock to be found in the Dominion
of Canada and many of the leading
stockmen pay special attention to the
breeding of pedigreed stock.
Among the branches of agricultural
industry in the valley however, horti-
culture is probably the foremost in
growth of importance and in the sue
cess that has attended the efforts OF
farmers in this line in the last few
years. British Columbia fruits are be-
coming famous not only in America
but also in Europe and Eastern Can
ada. APPLES of all varieties are grown
very excessively and are of such quality
and size that they will compete in the
worlds markets with any apples
grown. Strawberries, raspberries,
gooseberries, cherries, plums, peaches,
pears, prunes, apricots, ounces and
many other fruits are also grown with
astonishing success.
Fraser River Valley fruit has at
tracted considerable attention in Eu-
rope, where it has won the first awards
whenever it has been placed on exhl-
bition. A collection of apples from this
valley was sent to Great Britain and
placed on exhibition at the Royal Hor-
ticultural Fruit Show at London in
1906 and was awarded the Gold Medal
In 1906 an exhibit of apples and pears
from the valley was shown in Lon
don, Liverpool, Marlborough and many
other cities and was awarded medals
and prizes wherever shown. In the
last six years the horticultural pro
duction of the valley has Increased
over $50 per cent. Thus it may be
seen that the fruit raising industry is
not only becoming more important year
by year, but is growing by leaps and
bounds.
To show what can be accomplished
in this valley in few years by an
energetic farmer with a fair sized
tract of land, it is only necessary to
quote an exemplary testimony which
is written by N. V. Wickersham, who
lives at Surrey Center, B. G.
Mr.. Wickersham writes: "Ten years
ago | moved from Seattle, Wash, to
my farm of 231 acres in Surrey. l had
previously bought it and paid $4,000
for the same in wild state. After thir-
teen years of city life, being engaged
in the art business, I found myself

CHAPTER XIV.
capt.., jeremiah Tuseles Is Insutec

CaptAri Jeremiah lu9SIeS lnouteG.
1t was moment of splendid tri-
umph for the heroine of this mad es-
capade when she drew under the lee
of the great ship tremendously above
her Her eyes were as keen as Car
rington's. She had recognized, or d.
vined, that the tall figure standing on
the rail of the larger boat staring at
her was her husband. She knew that
in some way they had concludedrthat
she would try to escape on the mer-
chairman and that they were trying
to catch that ship. She was expert
enced enough, also, to know that their
efforts would be futile and their
trouble in vain. There was only one
possible contingency which could pre-
vent the accomplishment of her de-
sires now, and that would be the re-
fusal of the captain of the ship to
stop for her when she ran him down.
Ellen had a well-filled purse and she
hoped to persuade him with that. At
any rate, she kept recklessly on, al
though the little boat came near to
swamping and Deborah, between ter.
ror and disappointment, was in a state
of collapse. Ellen boldly ran down
under the lee of the big ship. By
skillful handling she brought her boat
within hailing distance of the mer.
chantman.
A man stepped on the rail to lee
ward and stared hard at her.
What ship is this?" asked Ellen.
The Flying Star of Boston,
Ellen's heart sank
Il thought it was the New Eagle
of Philadelphia" she cried.
"She sailed yesterday"
Where are you bound?" asked Ell

heart caused by this news.
