CAMBIE, Lulu Isiand, June 17.���
The new municipal hall, about which
there has been so much controversy,
may be only a temporary structure,
erected out of general revenue, and
���with no regard for the voice of the
people. "Consideriirff the present
state of bond market," said Councillor Henry Fentiman, at the council
meeting yesterday afternoon, "I do
not think the council would be justified in submitting a money by-law for
$20,000, as proposed." Reeve Bridge

To Keep Frenchmen From Winning
King Edward Cup for Third
and Last Time.
LONDON, June 19.���Owing to
the counter attraction of "Gold Cup
Day" at Ascot, the International -
Horse Show, which began today had | t
to get along without royalty for the
time being, but there Was a big
K:*.thering of society people and admirers of horse flesh when the Earl
of Lonsdale declared the show officially open. The earl, who is president of the horse show committee,
was accompanied by Alfred G. Van-
derbilt and Judge Moore of New
York, who are American directors.
This year's entry beats all records, and the prizes to be competed
for during the next ten days amount
to $60,000. More than $50,000 has
been spent on decorations, and tbe
big enclosure, known as Olympia, is
a veritable bower of roses. As usual
tbe military jumping competitions
will provide plenty of excitement, the
British officers being opposed by-
contingents from the United States,
Canada, France, Germany, Russia,
Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Holland,
Japan, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Austria and Denmark.
Tbe King Edward VII gold cup
and the King George V gold cup are
the most coveted trophies, the Britishers being especially desirous of
preventing France from winning
the former, for, having won it twice
already, it would then become the
absolute property of the Frenchmen.
The Canadian challenge cup and the
Duke of Connaught's cup (Britishers only!, also will be competed for.
American entries are numerous in
the various classes for coach, carriage, harness, hunting horses, Judge
Moore alone having brought over a
string of forty. Vanderbilt has his
famous coaching horses, and as usual he will make a bid for the coaching Marathon, in which Moore, Lord
Lonsdale and other enthusiasts will
compete. A novel feature of this
year's show is the introduction of
displays of Arab riding given by fifteen desert chieftains on their own
Arab steeds. The chiefs, all of
high rank, are not performers, but
when it was delicately suggested to
them that the visitors would like to
see a little real riding, they readily
agree to show the Westerners how-
to sit a horse.

When the raid was made, Killrick

his place to buy vegetables. He returned from town -late Saturday
night, and was told that they were
upstairs with a man. He ordered
them to leave, but they refused to
comply and he was forced to tolpvsit***
their presence. He claimed that the
opium outfit belonged to one of his
cousins who hnd recently died. The
women pleaded guilty to the charge.

SEATTLE, June 19.��� l'he King
county grand jury, which was finally
discharged on Tuesday, struck witb
emphatic blows at tbe board of county commissioners as now constituted,
going so far as to urge in positive
and drastic terms that Commissioner
Knudsen resign from the body for
his proved connection with the suspicious transactions in the paving of
portions of the North Trunk road,
and failing to do so, that the machinery of the recall be placed in motion. President McKenzie is also
urged ta resign, not for any alleged
or supposed dishonesty, but because
of the two-man alliance of Hamilton

board is futile and should terminate.

Spirit of Later-Day
Advertising
A li we bave said before, the purpose of
The Delta Times is first of all to serve
its readers. To do this is not only the right
moral attitude toward our constituency but it is
good business, speaking from a purely business
standpoint.
And so it is that we point out from week to
week the advertising features of this paper and
the advantages to be gained from keeping posted
in all of the news thus presented.
The spirit of advertising is different today
from that of a few years ago. The idea is no
longer to fool and to misrepresent, but to inform
ane. to invite. And it is the constant aim of the
good merchant to stick resolutely to facts.
It is this spirit on the part of advertisers that
makes for confidence, and enables us to direct
the attention of our readers to the profitable
practice ot "ad'' reading, feeling that in so doing
we render them a distinct service. ���ATVRRAY, JUNE 21, 1018.

wife when the tragedy occurred
It appears that he had driven out
along the River road and was coming
back towards New Westminster. It
was about 9:45 o'clock, and Reeve
MacGregor's house had been left
about a mile behind. From present
information Mr. Lee apepars to have
felt unwell and had drawn the car
to the side of the road ar.d st?pp��rl
the engine. There he was found by
two autoists hailing from North
Vancouver. He was sitting in the
driver's seat, his head fallen over
upon the steering wheel in an apparent faint.
His companion has just tben spoken to him, and glancing at him, his
cousin saw that he was'-dead. The
shock completely unnerved her and
she became hysterical.
The North Vancouver men lifted
Mr. Lee to the other front seat ano
rushed to Mr. Delkect's house nearby
for stimulants, but, on their return,
all efforts to revive Mr. Lee were
unavailing.
Meanwhile Dr. D. F. Carswell, of
this city, had been notified by telephone, and passing New Westminster
people out enjoying the summer evening, gathered at the spot. Among
these were Mr. Thomas Meredith and
Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Anderson, Mr.
George Milne and a party of friends.
Alderman Lynch also was there. Dr.
Carswell found life extinct. The
cause of death is understood to have
been heart failure.
The body was brought in to Mur-
chie's undertaking parlors in Mr.
Lee's own car. Miss Croskell was
taken to the hospital, where for several hours she remained in an utter
state of collapse.
Mrs. Lee was notified of the sad
occurrence at the Opera House. She
is bearing up with wonderful fortitude. Miss Dorothy Lee is in a state

of physical culture in New Westminster. He was at that time lithe
and supple, but of late years, he had
panchant for fresh air and active
exercise bad to go unrequited.
He was up to the time of his death
singularly free from illness, his only
trouble being a little rheumatic complaint at intervals. He informed a
friend not long ago that his stoutness did not oppress him at all.

Among his employees either here
or connected with the many enterprises with which he was identified,
Mr. Lee was looked up to and admired for his large hearteu geniality

Mr. James W. Connor, manager
of Lees Ltd., told The British Columbian this morning that, yesterday Mr.
Lee was in the very best of spirits,

him for some months. Last week
business had been quiet, but through
it all Mr. Lee had looked forward.
This week business had picked up
and the cheeriness of the head of the
firm had permeated all his helpers.
"He was always planning new-

TIMBER RESOURCES
OF THE PROVIXCK
British Columbia possesses one of
the few great timber areas of the
world. While the countries of it"e
Far East have lost all the timbei
they ever had. while European na-|
lions are resorting to the most Intensive methods possible to secure
continuity of stand and a certainty
of yield and are planting trees by
hand over great areas to ensure
crops in the future; while Eastern
Canada and the New England States
are clamoring for lumber and viewing with alarm the rapidly diminishing supplies in their country,
British Columbia has a vast area of
ovpr fifi minion nerps of tlmberlani-
*which should average, according to
estimates of experts, at least one
hundred board feet per acre per a-i-
uuni, or a total of 6 1-- billion feet.
This would return to the Government over 6 1-2 million dollars evers
year. The province is the possessor
ot a glorious heritage of over 300
billion feet of timber, which is quite
half of all that standing in the Dominion at the present time. At the
present rate of cutting, the loggers
Ol the province are taking annually
only one-fifth of the amount whicn
is added by Ihe natural processes of
growth,
If one looks over the industries
in the province, the shipping and
all ibe ni!1.-,! and dependent trade*
one will see tbat ai least three on-
of every five men iii the country
are looking to the forest to supply
thefr livelihood. There are very few
industries which are not to a greater
or less extent under obligation for
their existence to the forest resource.
Outside altogether of the loggers.
mlllmen, transport men, builders,
and all those who use wood In a
secondary way, the vast majority o"
the great farming population are dependent upon the forest-clad hills
for the water which brings fertility
and wealth to the wonderful natural
soils from which spring the crops
which have become renowned the
world over.
But the timber products themselves are going out of the province
in lumber: they are giving labor to
thousands upon thousands of men
here, and building up the prairie,
from which so great a proportion or
the wealth of the East is derived
Without Ihe vast forest wealth or
British Columbia il would be impossible to build up the great farmin
areas on the other side of the
Rockies.
The average citizen of British Columbia has a much greater interest
than all this, however, in the great
forests of which he is part owner
and administrator, in co-operation
with the progressive hundreds ot
thousands who are making this Gre-ar
last west the mighty and potent
factor in the nation's prosperity. In
the past seven years enough money
has been paid into ihe Provincial
Treasury in the form of fees, li-ens*>
returns and royalties to pay for all
the roads, bridges and wharves which
have been constructed in that time.
Today one dollar out of every four
which comes into the public coffer
is the product of the rorest. Greater
even than thc value of the agricultural products is that of the timber
which is manufactured within the
province into lumber, pulp and other
wood products.
It is plainly evident, therefore,
ihat to maintain the prosperity of
lhe province it is necessary to maintain the fori st resource. This resource is subject t0 one of tlie grear-
est dangers in tin- world, the dan get
which brings havoc into towns, cities
and settled communities, which
mounts into ibe hundreds of millions every year. Anil tiie forest
has no protection such as have the
buildings in llie great cities. Whim
the great enemy fire -breaks out
in llie forest, then- is practically
nothing to iiepede iis progress oi
check iis work of devastation save
favorable climatic conditions or sonic
peculiar configuration of the ground.
Th-- trees Btand close together; ir
une tree goes the iitie ne.\t it win
_o: fire reaches up from the ground,
gets lnto,the crowns and then sweeps
over mountains and valleys without
any possibility of being checked. In
tbe cities there are fire patrols, some
nt them on motor trucks which can
Bpeed as high as sixty miles an hour.
In the forest, on the other hand,
there may be no one to see the fire
iiiml days after it has begun. The
gospi i nf an ounce of prevention being better than a pound of cure applies no-thoroughly to the forest thai,

extent -hat there was burned over
0nlj 116,000 acres, with a total
rn nev loss of $300,000. The cost
of their upkeep ran into $745,000.
In comparison with the tremendous
value of the timber saved, their expense was practically nothing. in
comparison with the revenue returned to the Crown, the money invested
iu this way was but a tenth. More
and more money can be spent upon
this work without injuring to the
slightest the income of the province.
But greater than the work of tne
rangers, and vastly more important
than the i*_penditure for their activities is the expenditure by every
citizen of the province of care over
all the sources of danger which enters into his every day life. A single
cigarette butt thrown carelessly by
the road-side will occasion a fire
which will wipe out more value in
timber ll.^n would buy in, provim,.
ctgarettes for tlie next fifty years;
a little carelessness with brush burning may occasion a fire which will
burn up more than the cleared land
of the whole valley will produce In
the life of him who neglected hts
blaze; a hole punched in a donkey
stack, or neglect in the use of fire
pans might consume the money
which would be devoted to logging
machinery for that timber district
for the next generation; an uncared
for camp fire���and this is the greatest source of danger of all���may
burn away in the ground and finally
blaze up in a mighty conflagration
which will sweep away more wealth
than would be produced by all the
mines which the careless camper o;
prospector might uncover in all his
gold-seeking days.
If the average citizen will give hts
moral support to all the activities
of the Government in its efforts to
put out fires; will work hand in hand
with the District Forest officers and
respond quickly when the call comes
for assistance to a fire, he will buila
far more broadly and securely than
he imagines tbe basis of prosperity
for himself, for the people in his
community and for the coming generation. There devolves upon everj
man in the province a duty to nts
country in this regard, and he will
truly serve his native land who does
the simple acts of carefulness and
prevention in the ordinary course p."
his daily occupation.

TraglO Affair Occurs Six Furlongs
From Finish Line in Sight of
Royal Party,
LONDON, June 19.���Emulating
tbe feat which cost Miss Emily Davison her life during tbe running of
the Derby, an unidentified "male
suffragette," during the running of
the Gold Cup race at Ascot today
attempted to stop August Belmont's
horse, Tracery, while be was heading the Held. The man was knocked down and will probably die.
Despite the efforts" of spectators to
stop hlru, the suffragette ran in
front of Tracery waving his arms,
In one hand a revolver and in the
other a suffragette flag. Just as the
horse struck him, he cried out something about Miss Davison and went
down in a heap under the horses'
hoofs. The attempt occurred about
six furlongs from the finish line, in
full sight of King George and Queen
Mary.
Cards found in the pocket of the
"male,.suffragette" at the hospital
bore the name "Hewitt, Trinity College."
Eye-witnesses of the exploit said
four men ran in front of Tracery
as thi> horses thundered- down the
course. One or them carrying a flag
and a revolver, attempted to stop the
Belmont entry, shouting, "Stop, or
I will fire." He was knocked down.
One of the fallen man's associates
picked up the revolver and held the
crowd at Lay until his two uninjured
Companions escaped. Then he threw
away the revolver and fled.
Jockey Whalley was thrown to the
turf and painfully but not seriously
huit. King George called Ihe injured rider to the royal stand and
asked him about what had happened.
The injured "male suffragette"
was taken to a hosnltal where it was
found that his skull was fractured.
Physicians at once performed an
operation, but elated that the patient had no chance of recovery.
Precarious < londltlon.
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the
militant suffragette leader, wbo was
released Monday for ths third time
[rom Holloway jail, is in a precarious
condition today according lo her followers, as a result of her last two
days' hunger strike. Her personal
physician says that another term of
Imprisonment would he practically
certain doom to Mrs. Pankhurst. She
now suffers from valvular heart
trouble as a result of forcible feeding. Her frame is shrunken and
wasted, and it is said the inly thing
now keeping her alive js her determined will, A complete collapse
is gravely feared.
Miss Annie Kenney and the five
other suffragettes sentenced to Holloway jail Tuesday, who immediately
began a "hunger strike." still refused to eal today, declaring they would
compel the authorities to release

A MONTH'S BOARD.
VICTORIA, June 13. Q
Thompson, who gave himself up lo
the police as thi man wh > held up
and robbed Frederick Wilkes, a
chauffeur, at Mount Tolmle, some
days ago. and later denied the story,
claiming that he adopted tliis method
of obtaining a meal and a night's
lodging, appeared In the police court
on a charge of carrying a concealed
weapon. He denied that he had any J
reason for having a gun and declared j
that he did not know it was loaded.
The weapon was produced, just as I
lr. was taken from him. and an in-i
spection showed that it was fully
charged. Thompson was found
guilty and sentenced to one month's!
imprisonment.
VICTORIA, June 9.���Friday afternoon Dr. A. Robinson, superintendent of Education for the province,
addressed the Conference on Women's Work in connection with the
schools in rural districts. He sug-
gested iirst that there should be
more interest shown in the election
of the school boards, which takes
place throughout the province on
the second Saturday in July. If more
general interest were shown them,
there would be fewer cases (and
they had little idea how many of
tbem there were) where clashes occurred between the majority of the
ratepayers and their school boards,
which the department of education
was asked to put straight.
He next asked for more kindly-
consideration of teachers and their
shortcomings on the part of school
boards and parents. The proportion of Incompetent teachers was no
greater than was found to be in any
other profession. There always had
been poor ones; there would always
be poor ones. How many farmers
were farming properly in the province at the present time? Were
there not many business men not
making a success of their business?
Needs Checking.
There was one practice, however,
far too common among teachers,
which he would censure. His department had safeguarded the teacher when going to a new district by
ensuring that no dismissal could
take place until the end of a term,
and then only after due notice. This
had been found necessary as instances had occurred Wht.'e, If the
teacher did not board with a certain
person, say the secretary of the
board, she did not hold her job long.
But though the Act thus safeguarded
the Interests of the teacher, it. also
Imposed on the teacher the obligation not to leave in the middle of a
term, even if a better position came
along, but this they far too often disregarded, and it was a practice that
needed checking.
Dr. Robinson advocated the beautifying of the school grounds and
outhouses by tree planting, the removal of stumps and rocks���but not
on to the roads���and the interesting
of the children in the breeding of
pure-bred stock to keep them on the
farms.
At the close of his address Dr.
Robinson had to reply to questions
relating to water supply to schools,
sanitary inspection and the provision
of room for the teaching of domestic economy. With regard to water
supply, he stated that the department always cautioned local authorities when building to chose a site
where water could be available, but
he thought there was too much paternalism in the province already.
They wanted people to do a little
more for themselves���that is, contribute a little more out or their own
pockets. The government built the
schools and repaired them; surely
the people of a district, might dig a
well. That is what they would do
for the supply of their own house, or
else pay for connection with some
main. Then as to the cleaning out
of the school: could they not find
the $1 to $1.50 a week necessary to
have this done?
A Delegate���Could not the children be trained to do this?
Dr. Robinson���It is the ratepayers
themselves I think you will find who
will not allow their children to do
this.
Domestic Science.
In regard to accommodations for
the teaching of domestic science, Dr.
Robinson thought. It preferable on
the whole that any sucn building
should be on a separate site owned
by the ratepayers of the district, but
assured his hearers of tlie hearty cooperation of the department towards
their establishment. Asked whether
school teachers were obliged to take
up school gardening, he stated that
they were not legally compelled to
do so, though every effort was made
by tlie authorities to induce them to
undertake the work.
Papers were read during the afternoon by Miss Gilchrist on Dec
Culture, on Dairy Products by Miss
Coward, on The Legal Status of
Women in B. <'���. by Mrs. Gordon
Grant, and Mr, H. ('. Hanlngton addressed the conference on Women
and Business Methods.
In tlie morning session Miss I'ow-
noll Wright, at one time a professor
of English in the Women's University of Tokio, Japan, gave a most
Interesting account of life as she had
seen It among the Japanese and the
Russians, their customs, and the
progress or otherwise of education
among them. She attributed the
present standing of education in Japan almost entirely to missionary
effort.
Topics discussed by the delegates
at this session included Flower
Shows. Club Rooms and the Institute as a social centre and .an address by Mrs. Haninglon on Home
Making, in which she dwelt on the
value of so educating the children on
a farm as to make them think the
farmer's life the most desirable and
so to keep them from crowding into
the cities,

Xew Fisheries Cruiser Fispa Proves
to Be Worthy Sea Boat, Speedy
and Commodious.
(from the British Columbian.)
Tbe "Fispa," the uew fast fisheries protection launch, made her trial
trip down the Fraser river to Steveston and return on Saturday afternoon and proved a worthy sea craft,
speedy and steady, commodious and
staunch, admirably fitted for the important work alloted to uer in the
Fisheries protection service and fully
equTpped to be the flag ship of the
speedy, light craft that guard the
Pacific Coast fishing waters of tha
Dominion. Mr.. Samuel Dawe, Sr.,
managing dtrector of the Westminster Marine Railway Company, the
shipbuilding concern which turned
out what is conceded to be the fastest and best equipped cruiser of her
class on the Pacific Coast, was the
captain and pilot for the trip,
and with the skill of a true Newfoundlander guided the trim vessel
safely past the floating debris of a
river at the spring freshet, and in a
sail of two hours and a half, or thirty
miles, gave the company, who had
the honor of being invited, a most
pleasant afternoon. At 3:30 p.m.
the vessel swung out from the market wharf and returned at 6 o'clock,
the run back taking an hour and a
half against a stiff current. The
powerful 200 h.p. engines and the
twin screws hummed merrily with
never a stop during the run and if
the top speed of the launch was not
reached on fhis trial trip, there was
proof in the ease and smoothness
marking the operation of the engines that she would clip off 16
miles an hour when tho occasion demanded it.
The "Foam," a small fishery patrol launch, accompanied the new
boat, but speedy as the Foam Is
among river craft, she was left far
behind. A tug also, which essayed
to measure speed with the Fispa,
found much more than a match on
the down river run.
Among those who accepted the invitation to be present when a New
Westminster cruiser shouid uphold
the good name of her makers, designer and port city, were Mr. H. S.
Clements, M.P., for Comox-Atlln, in
the; coast waters of whose constituency the launch will do service at
times; Mr. 3. D. Taylor, M.P.; Mr.
F. H. Cunningham, superintendent
of Fisheries; Mr. Nels Nelson, 'president, and Mr. W.
F. Hansford, secretary, of the City
Conservative Association; Mr. C. A.
Welsh, president of the R. A. & I.
Society; Mr. E. B. Schock, of Vancouver, naval architect, who desigtr-
ed the launch; Mr. Geo. Blakeley and
Mr. Albert Dawe, who with Mr.
Sam. Dawe, Sr., the manager of the
shipbuilding works, represented the
Westminster Marine Railway Company; Mr. Geo. A. Walkem, managing director of the Vancouver Machinery Depet, Ltd., the company
supplying the engines; Mr. T. H.
Smith, merchant, Mr. Tom Trapp, of
T. J. Trapp & Co.; Mr. W. Eskins, of
the T. E. Corrigan Electrical firm of
New Westminster, who had the contract for the installation of the electrical equipment, and representatives
of the two local papers.
All the members of the crew were
ou board. Capt. G. F. Crichton;
(.'. J. House, mate; Wm. Allam, flrst
engineer; P. Douglas, second engineer; A. Anderson, cook; A. E.
Fasbam, deck hand, and A. Chappie.
The Fispa, specially designed by
Naval Architect, E. B. Schock, of
Vancouver, for a work that calls for
a speedy craft, yet one that must be
staunch to face the gales of the West
Coast of Vancouver Island and the
storms of the Gulf, and as well providing comfortable equipment for the
crew, who will make the vessel their
home for many months of the year,
is the best built boat ot her type
ever launched In British Columbia.
Her length is 82 feet, beam 14 1-2,
with ,a 3-foot draft. There are
three state rooms aft, one stateroom
having a private toilet and bath. The
crew's quarters are forward, these
also being equipped with modern
conveniences. The dining saloon under the wheel house is commodious.
Between this and the engine room is
the galley fully equipped. The pilot
house and dining room are finished in
teak, also the rails and the deck
trimmings are of this wood. The
fine-it grade of fittings have been installed, and the work done locally reflects the greatest credit on the skill
and the enterprise of the Westminster Marine Shipbuilding Company.
Architect Schock expressed himself
well pleased with the work done on
the craft, by the local builders, and
was particularly pleased with the
manner in which the vessel behaved
on this trial trip, a real trial trip,
for since tbe launching of the boat
the vessel has not been given a run
on the river. Yet the engines behaved perfectly and in all the workings with the exception of some
minor adjustments there appeared to
be no changes necessary. The contract' price for the launch was some
$38,000. The powerful gasoline
i ngines, driving the twin
screws are six cylinder Standard. 8
Inch by lo inch, 100 horse power
each, manufactured by tin- Standard
Motor Construction Company of New
Jersey, U.S.A., and installed by the
Vancouver Machinery Depot Company. Tbey are eapable 0r giving
a speed of 16 miles an hour, but the
launcb Bhould do better than this

was built. Those who made the trip
on Saturday and observed how the
vessel behaved although not loaded
down with her full ballast of oil and
gasoline, having only the permanent concrete ballast which represented 4000 pounds of cement, were
agreed that the Westminster Marine

skill.
RICHMOND COUNCIL.
CAMBIE, Lulu Island, June 17.���
The council yesterday passed the
public morals, the real property tax,
the road extension and the traffic
regulation by-laws. Approved also
was the agreement between Burnaby
and Richmoud regarding the boundary line, which in the futurg will
I be deemed the centre line of the
Fraser North Arm.
Kenneth Laniond, secretary of the
South Vancouver Board of Trade,
communicated the desire of that or-
gauiaztion that a public market,
both wholesale and retail, be established in South Vancouver near Lulu
Island, and that the Richmoud
council extend Its co-operation.
Councillors Gay, Fentiman and Miller were appointed a committee to
take the matter up with the South
Vancouver authorities. The Point
Grey and Richmond Board of Trade
has already appointed a committee
to go into the matter, the success of
which seems assured.
Instructions were Issued to Overseer Hardy of the road department
to have the bridge at the Westminster boundary repaired. Referred
to the chairman of the v��ater committee was Water Superintendent
Lockbart's report concerning an
emergency main across the Lulu Island main. The official estimated
that, it would cost $600 to instal the
pipe, which is considered necessary.
