But Frank Manners had no

by awarding her heavy alimony

AS to the causes which had led
to the rupture between Manners

never satisfy herself. She knew
very well that the gentle, affec-

was loved some other woman.
She believed that he still loved
the woman who had ben his wife.

she had said: Look here, Frank,

SUMAS LAKE DRAINING WORK
is PROGRESSING SPEEDILY

That the work of retaining Su-
mas Lake and draining the area that
sends clouds of mosquitoes down to
Lynden occasionally, is now we'll un-
der way, is the statement made in the
following summary of conditions, as
presented by the Sumas Advocate
News last week:
The Sumas Lake reclamation work
is progressing satisfactorily. and 1t is
predicted that within the time limit
set, at least the first section of the
construction work will be completed.
The throwing up of the Fraser riv-
er dyke is proceeding rapidly and last
month some $4,000 yards of soil was
shifted by the big Bucyrus machine
which has been working steadily on
this dyke since its arrival. At the
present rate of progress 1t is expected
that the end of the G. N. r. trestle
will be reached at the end of the
month or early next month.
The smaller ditcher. which has
been employed On the McGillivary
Creek on drainage work, has now
completed its job in that locality,
and has been removed to Woodruff
where it has started on the Vedder
river seepage ditch.
The two machines at present oper-
ating have been doing good work but
steps are being taken to advance the
work more rapidly, and two machines
are now being got ready to reach
Cannon this month, while three 9TH
ers are expected in March. They will
be electrically driven. and the work
of erecting poles for a power line
started Thursday morning.
A contract for a power line along
the dyking right-of-way has been let
to Mr.. C. Moulton. of New Westmins-
ter, the line starting from Woodruff.
This will be the main power supply
for the entire system, and it will
be used after the completion of
the scheme for the pumping station
which will carry five 54-inch centrif-
ugal pumps. Clearing on the Atchel-
itz dyke has started.
AS soon as the power line has been
erected work will start on the Vedder
river straight across the prairie to
the bend of the Vedder river.
Mr.. A. N. Sinclair, the engineer in
charge of the scheme. is pleased with
the progress being made. and is of the
opinion that all going we'll there
should be no great difficulty in cut
ting out the water in 1922.
The Marsh Bourne Construction
company still has the contract, and
there has been no change in this re-
spect. There has been a complete re-
organization, and Mr.. A. r. Duncan
of the Vulcan Iron Works, is presi.
dent.
The tract. which the Sumas recla-
nation scheme embraces, comprises
$4,000 acres of farming land of which
10000 acres lie at the bottom Of Su'
mas Lake. The average cost OF re-
clamation will be about $50 pei
acre. The cost of clearing stump
land in the Fraser Valley runs from
between $500 and $500 per acre.
