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.

President McKenzie is also urged ta resign, not for any alleged or supposed dishonesty, but because of the two-man alliance of Hamilton and Knudsen his presence on the board is futile and should terminate.

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.

Mr. S. W. Walter visited Westminster and Vancouver 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 collapse, while Master Ormsby Lee was not told about his father's death until this morning. The circumstances connected with the last hour during which the late ln'! | Mr. John A.

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. "1 used to walk up and down this hill three limes a day when I was Building up my business," he said, "and, while I don't get so much time as I used to for exercise, I am hoping that now I have retired from the mayoralty, I will be able to get a little more time to myself."

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, ,,: j effOl I Which is being made, iiul should be made in the future, bould look to th,- early extinguish- 1 . of a fin- before it attains a sl/.e W ll i ill n nders it impossible to pin out, i hi - atises ot tin vast proportion of forest fires today are in Ihe cure- leSSII!

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. WOMEN'S WORK IN RURAL DISTRICTS WELL FITTED FOR WORK. Dr. Robinson Speaks of What Government Is Doinft and Suggests Public Do a Little. SERIOUSIiV INJURED. 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 I hem. Fire, attributed to suffragettes destroyed last night tbe parish church at Rowley Regis, near Dudley, with -i loss of jnn.nnn. 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, IMMIGRATION I K.IRKS. WlXXH'KC.'June 19, During th** week ended yesterday, 3868 immigrants passed through Winnipeg de��- tlned for points in the West. Of these 2010 were British and the balance Northern Europeans. During the week ending June la, 1304 Americans entered Canada via boundary ports west of Great Lakes. It is estimated they brought $213,373 in cash, ane) $i6,000 worth of settlers' effects. .. 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 when the engines have been thoroughly trieiCollt. The launjjfcls lighted and heated by e^*_>'1'lllTy. ��Fay & Bowen gaso- ttnc* engine dn-ectly connected to a live nnd a half k.w. Crocker-Wheeler generator, Will supply the current. A D'oVoit storage battery will also be installed to supply light when the carried out by T. E. Corrigan, electrical contractor, of New Westminster, W. Ekins having the supervision of this work. A New Westminster manufacturing concern has also the honor of supplying this smart cruiser with the chief brass and copper equipment,��� the B. C. Brass Works���and Messrs. T. J. Trapp & Company, have supplied the other ship fittings, which are all of the finest grade. The Fispa is certainly a credit to the Pacific Coast Fisheries protection service and to this city where it 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 Railway Company are to be congratulated-on their enterprise and 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. FARMER'S WIFE KILLED. vessel is In port.
