T'ilViPil )NTa COMMUNICATION. Jit ii not her column we reprint an Wide ft mi ihe Nowsi Advertiser, from which it spp ars, that the present teleur. pli line between Chilliwaek and uist (ins boon taken ever by the Nev Westminster and tturrard Inlet I. phone Co. uf Vancouver, unci that jt will sh utiy he equipped lor service fis a telephone Hue.

This information i a surprise to us, as although we 1tave eij'i mi t.l heard the question of telephone communication with the coa 1 cities discussed, and have observed wi'U pleasure the energy displayed by the N. V. B. I. T.

Co. ibeir Una through the district adjacent to New Westminster and Vancouver. We had no idea that they were negotiating for the control of the telegraph Hue to this place. The telephone company is managed by energetic, ptjpable men. aud believe the telephone (system of Vancouvor and New Westminster is not surpassed anywhere iu the Dominion, and we think it fortunate that the line to this place will be under thoir control, as their experience aud connections will give ua a better service from the first thai a separate company soul hope to.

We have no doubt that telephone connection with tho coast will be of great beuefit to the people of Chilli wack. It will enable our farmers to ascertain the requireuents aud prices current at Yaucuuver and Went minuter at any time in a few minutes, aud if desirable arrangements could be made for the sale of thpir produce at either of the two citios the day previous to shippiug, aud so avoi i the lays and uncertainties of negotiations by mail. Especially will meins of personal coniinunicalaon with the dealers aud market clerks of the cities be of benefit It thera in handling their small fiuits, such as lums, cherries, etc that are perishable and must be disposed of quickly. Many of onr farmers have hithsi to beeu compelled Jo ship such articles to the dealers without knowing the price obtainable or thd 8fae of the market, and it has ofteo occurred tint the particular dealer to whom they shippel was pverstocked and cmld not dispose of fhe goods, others were short aud jfould gladly have taken the supplies With telephone commuuicati ou the farm can, at a small cjst, ascertain fenta all thu com mission men, or dtor Biill th5 retailers, cx ictly what they (,.) hinjdle and prices they will 1)hv, tiiji? in a position Jo it.iv.iuti',1,') of the host market. iq iuy ether ways it will facilitate the quick disposal of business and often save the co of a trip to the CJt.

The. article mentioued does uot state wltother the present telegraph net vice will also be maintained, but we presuiuii it wiil, or clso arrangements be made for the transmission to the oHlac Vancouver of tele jtaius t'i point? beyor.d the reach of the Ulephone lines at the preterit rate. Wo lk've it is possible to work both a lull graph aud telephone service over the same line? if ho, aid the Ule company put in the double rviue at Cnilliwack, our pain will in ed giva', We would draw atteu ti to the faut that this new arrangement t.p ks well the growing importance of this district, for as the const citit and increaso in pu la'ion there bo a greater demand lor food stuffs, fruit, butter, eggs, which wi'l Lring the place from which 1 ln'S" supplies can be best obtained, ruore prominently before the public, and we belies this yalley is unequalled in eituati soil and climate, tor the raisi.ig of such nrticles as are iu daily demnud it all cities which cannot be importoJ iu a tn sutis faot ry condition as wheu locally grown thereforo our farmers ipust eee that they make the most of their opportunities and inaiket their iro duce in sncli fiuo order that the name of Chilli waek wiil be a guarantee of a hoico article. Wo will have something more to say on this aiitter after obtaining further details of tho new arraugo HETTE It THAN rOKTATION. We observe tho question of better transportation, facilities between the Eraser Jliver and Yanc ouver has been discussed by the Vancouver City Council iu connection with tho establishment of a weekly market in the latter city.

We think our Municipal Council should co operate with Vancouver to ell'jct tlie placing of a boat on the route that will make the thro' trip from Vancouver and return at least once a week. Airingeiueuts should be made to despatch tho steamer Iri.m Chilhw ick day before the ni trket day in Vancouver, so as to enable our farmers to ship their produce direct to the iiai Let, thus saving the est and loss of transhipment at New Westminster. We would suggest that the C. 1'. N.

Co. be approached on the subject, with a view of. having the steamer Transfer make the trip. She is a comfortable, saf fast bjat, and could, we believe, mako tlie trip easily and with Faloty. With tho establishment of weekly markets i.i Vancouver and New Wettunnster, the question of better an.l quicker transportation is brought fjrbiulv before us.

We have no complaint with the steamers now plying on the river, with the exception of their charges, which are too high. Their oflieers aud crew are obliging and do everything tluir pDwer to accommodate tho public, and we should be sorry to see either of the boats taken off the route. Jut to reap thq host results from the better mark ets opened to us, wo must have rail way connection with the coast. If a line were constructed to couuect with the C. 1'.

R. at Abbotsf rd and a tram despatched early cuough in the morning to ena'de our farmers to take their produce to the maikct in time for the day's business au.l return the same evening it would 'greatly benefit them. We believe also that, railway connec tion would er courage the growth of industries such as oatmeal mill, wool len mill, fruit cannery, tannery, and others in our midst which aro uot at present under consideration for waut of more rapid and better transit. It would also indue a large number of families with small incomes, who pre ff rural life and desire to increase thpir revenue by tho cultivation of the soil, to locate iu the vallev. We trust the matter will be carefully considered by our leading meu, and somo course adopted to induce the present holders of the charter or the C.

P. R. to go on with the construction of such a lino to Cniiliwack. TUE TELEGluni OFFICE MUST NOT liE CLOSED. Since our article on the establish mont of the telephone system was in type, wo learn that the telegraph cilice has been closed up, and we cannot nndeistaud why any such step i 'hould have been decided upon.

We trust our Council will look iuto this matter aud ascertain from the )jminiou Government what steps were taken to protect our interests before the telegraph line was placed under the con trol of tho Telephone Co. As we stated in our previous articlo. wo be lieve the telephone connection will be of great benefit to us, but we etrougly object to tho entire closing down of the ti lograph service. We are in the dark as to who is responsible for this hasty aud arbitrary step, but it is a ca of neglect and bad management on somebody's part and tuu't bo rectifi! thoiefoio we weald adviso the Telephone Co. to re opeu the oflice without delay if they wish to retaiu the good will of tins com inanity.

Ou Thursday last 27rh Mr. Herbert Lister, who is connected with the "Universities Mission to Central Africa" iu the capacity of technical instructions to tho young Christian Africans, de livt red an interesting and instructive lecture upon the works of the mission In Hendersons Hall to a most appreciate and attentive audience. In parenthesis the Vicar of St. Thomas' wi dies to thank Mr. Henderson for so kindly iviii(r the use of the Hall at the cost of lighting, firinii and attendance, as his contribution towards the missiou ary cause.

The lecture was fully illustrated by means of a inaiic lantern nnd about fifty views of African lifo and scenery made doubly interesting by the lecturer kindly answering any questions the audience liked to ask a privilege that ws much appreciated. O.ie tliimr wo were much struck by, the fact that the siave trade still exists! and the states of slavery is still acknowledged in Zanzibar under liritish rule. While on this subject it is at least en couraning to know that tho Cathederal, a beautilel structure built by P.ishop Sleeve, of which we were shown views interior and exterior, stands on the sight of the old slave market and tho altar where the whipping post once stood.

CILTUKE OF FLAX. After the creamery meeting had adjourned, Mr.

M. DcKejscr Verbiest, Manager of Tho Canad i Linseed Oil M.ll Mission City, called upon the farmers to remain, as he was there ac cording to notice to address the farmers ou the culture of flax iu the Chilliwaek Valley. He explained to them how it had been made a good paying branch of agriculture in other countries and could lie made so here. He read a few extracts on the culture of (lax, also the following paper written up by himself: "The best flax in tho world is grown at Courtrai in Belgium, from the fibre or wiucn tne nmst linen ami iirussel lace fa'irtcs are made, lhis bbre is ob tho Hax retted (steeped) in the siiovly, soft running water of the famous river Lys. 1 ho steeping of the (.,.,, aiao other important factors which combine in producing this fine quality of libre, such as the preparation of soil, fertilizing, rotation of crops, the sowing of the best seed, the pulling of the llax.

until the straw goes to the scutch mill. This fibre varies in price from SO 10 to per ton. Flux grows short in dry, calcarious soils, hile in a heavy or clayey soil it grows lonir but the libre is uot so line. A deep and well cultivated soil, not too heavy, produces the best llax. The land should be plowed in the fall or in the early spring, when it should be well broKeu with a harrow and brought almost to the condition of a garden soil and the seed sown broadcast at thu end of April or early in May.

If sown for libre only, then 2 to 3 bushels of clean seed should be used to the acre, but if sowing for seed alone, half a bushel is sullicieut, as the plants, having room to branch out, produce a larger quantity of seed. Care should be taken that the seed is not covered witli more than one inch of soil. Flax cultivated (or fibre only, is pulled before it is fully matured aud the sood obtained is aliout 10 to 15 bushels per acre and of a second quality, while if sown thinly and for seed alone, the yield is from 20 to DO bushels per acre but the fibre Is of little value. If sown for seed alone, new broken land, well cultivated, can bo sown until the end of May and will pro a crop. The seed must be well matured, of a chocolate color, before harvested.

The flax cau be cut with an ordinary binder and threshed with an ordinary separator with slight alterations. This seed, well cleaned, should tiring the farmers seventy cents to one dollar per bushel, according to quality and the amount of oil contained therein. "Farmers will find a ready market at the Linseed Oil Mills, Mission City, or it could bo profitably exported to tho United States or elsewhere. British Columbia's climate is yory similar to that of Belgium, and there is no reason why this branch of agriculture should Qt worked here, espcci ollu 1 1... I'rtiocr Kiver district, the soil i there being admirably adapted to tho cultivation of flax." Mr.

DeKeyser Verbicst is willing to give any of the farmers all the ini'din atiou he can ou the cultivation of flax. Sumas Mews. From our own Correspondent. Our Italian weather has been inter, upted for thu last few days by Mr. Bo re alis, who lias proved hinself to be a regular blow hard, however, a large Rock of black birds aud robins were noticed yesterday aud they acted as if they bad come to stay.

A cock phe. ant has been seen near A. Evans' place. The pheasant is in dangerous quarters as Mr. Evans is a good shot and a terror to ducks.

The Sumas School House is nearly completed and reflects credit ou Mr. Win. Carter the contractor. The farmers in this locality have done considerable fall plowing and iu fact have plowed during tho winter and are preparing for a largo crop. Chadsey will add a piece to his prune orchard.

It seems almost certaiu that hay and grain raising tcr market is nt an end aud farmers must make an effort to increase their number of dairy cows, and plant out aud improve their orchards. Flax culture may be a paying investment, if a proper pi ice can be obtained. A. 11. Wane aud wife export to leave here for Out.

Ti 3 1 1 IN It is understood that the long talked of railway between Ashcroft and Bar kerville, which will have the effoet of opening up the great Cariboo country, is much more nearly an accomplished fact than many people imagine. The report is that negotiations areprogriss iug for tho acquisition by the C.
