From the Vancouver World, a historic account recalls the 1894 Wrasure Valley flood. It details spring snowmelt, rising waters, and widespread destruction across farms, rail lines, and homesteads, with families stranded and communities seeking safety for days as river levels peaked and dikes failed.
Saskatchewan government established a cooperative livestock marketing system to cut out middlemen and raise farm incomes. Associations handle cattle and sheep through graded weighing, weekly ship days, and centralized markets with government support, loans, and advisory staff guiding new groups.
A historical account recalls the North American flood that swamped Lulu Island and damaged farms along Pitt Meadows and the Fraser Valley. The North Shore bridge was washed away though the island fared relatively well, while settlers faced ruin and government relief supplied food and stock. Damages included $25,000 losses for Alexander Hwang and about $18,000 for H F Page, with relief efforts led by Theodore Devie and Captain Tatlow. The flood spurred better drainage and a renewed sense of danger among old timers, but life resumed as water subsided and dry land returned.
