Under new business, Mayor
Kflflll brought up the matter ol
the bridge at the second narrows,
and submitted that the time is opportune for a strongeffort to secure
from the provincial government a
substantial subsidy for the purpose
of making the structure a traffic
bridge as well as a railway bridge.
Upon a previous occasion a deputation comprising representatives
of Vancouver city council, North
Vancouver city council and the
district councils ol Burnaby,South
Vancouvi r and North Vancouver,
together with representatives of
the Vancouver and the Nortli Vancouver boards of trade, had met a
full cabinet and had urged the
necessity of such a giant, but the
government had been pleased to
take no favorable action in Ihe
matter. He would now suggest
that a monster petition be prepared and forwarded to the government. The present election campaign afforded a splendid opportunity to procure a large number
of signatures, as doubtless the
political parties would take charge
of the petition forms at their
several committee rooms and canvass for signatures, thus ensuring
a laige representation ol voters
thioughtiiii Vancouver city, ind
Richmond riding. That this
petition be handed to the member
for this constituency, that he may
be able to realize what is the wish
of his constituents in this important matter. The recent 1e1n.uk
of President Hay of the G.T.P.,
that his line intends to come to
Vancouver and that they are not
losing sight of the valuable foreshore on the norlh side of the
Inlet was significant, aud added
another strong reason for lhe early
settlement of all matters pertaining
to the second narrows bridge.
James P. Fell in supporting the
remarks of Mayor Kealy, endorsed
the suggestions made, and called
attention to lhe (act that the situation in the case ol the second 11,11
rows bridge is different to that ol
(he Fraser river bridge. The latter
bridge was directly nnd-r provincial government control, but while
the Dominion government had
made a grant to the set nntl nar
rows bridge, they dul not propose
to exercise governmental control
in any form. Again (he Dominion
government had declined to grant
a sulisitlv lor the Fraser river
bridge, lor the reason that they
had not the power to grant subsidies lor public highways, but
only (or railway bridges. The
grant lor a rai'way bridge is already made in the present instance,
anil there is no reason why the
provincial government shall not
add to that a grant lor traffic
leatures.
A.l' Antlers was ol opinion that
a deputation would prove no more
effective than a petition. This
had been found to be the case in
England and lie thought it would
obtain here.
Mr. J. G. Dick ri viewed his recent trips to the head of Seymour
creek and from the Lillooet trail
across to the head of Howe Sound
anil declared that the only altcrna*
tive route (or a railway was 75
miles longer than that via Howe
Sound, while the rock work and
engineering difficulties weie just
as gieat. Squamish is the logical
route for the coming railway.
He woulii like to see the Lillooet
trail opened up to the head nl Seymour, even if thc expense had to
lie borne locally, as there is a community ol several bun.Inti miners
in there whose natural source ol
supply is North Vancouver.
W. J Irwin was in line with
what had been sai.l with reference
to the bridge. He also thought it
might bc well to repeat thc request
for the opening up of the Lillooet
trail at the coming session of the
legislature.
S. D. Schultz moved, J. G. Dick
seconded, and it was unanimously
carried, that Mayor Kealy, James
P. Fell and Thomas T. Nye be a
committee, with power to add to
their number, to prepare a petition
as suggested and to devise the best
means of securing signatures and
of forwarding the same.
Alexander Philip reviewed the
progress of affairs to the present
with respect to the Lillooet trail.
While the government had replied
thit there were uo ivailable funds
for that purpose at present, yet the
department had intimated its willingness to take the matter up again
at 1 later date and had leasonablc
hope that favorable action would
result. The district council is pre-
pired to do its share by extending
the road to the boundary line ol
the district whenever the government is ready to proceed with the
trail.
lt was moved by Mayor Kealy,
seconded by Alexander Philip, and
carried that 'he government be approached again at the coming session lor a grant for this purpose.
The matter of improved postal
facilities in the city was discussed
bnt no action was taken.
The meeting then adjourned.

The situation with respect to the

SHIPPING FACILITIES
Great embarrassment is ex
perienced in commercial circles in
North Vincouver because ol the
absence ol through shipping facilities (or freight to this point. All
goods purchased by local firms
Irom outside points are billed to
Vancouver, whence ihey must be
traissh p,ied to this city. I'pon
the arrival of the goods in Vancouver, they must remain ihere until
the mails convey notification lo
the consignee. Having received
notification, the local merchant
must absent himsell Irom his business, he must make a special trip
to Vancouver, release the goods,
procure a dray, lollow the goods
lo the (erry landing antl havt them
re-shipped to North Vancouver
This procedure is vexatious in the
extreme, lt involves delay, annoyance, extra cost ol thc goods laid
down, and loss ol time.
The ultimate result ol these conditions is, that our local merchants
are practically denied access to the
producer,in purchasing their goods
and are perforce committed to
middlemen lor llieir porchflflCfl.
I'ntler normal conditio s. should a
merchant in this cit' wish to purchase dor illustration 1 ■ consignment ol apples, be would ionium
nicate with a Iruil grower at some
interior point and thus purchase
in the cheapest market, to the advantage ol his ciislomeis. Inder
existing conditions, however, he
finds himself so beset bv disabilities
that it is more advantageous, all
things considered, lor him to buy
Irom the wholesale]- anal pay the
higher price.
Tlurc docs not appear to be any
valid reason why the transcontinental railway and other transportation companies should decline
to enter into an arrangema>nt with
the North Vancouver Ferry and
Power Co. Ltd , such as would
permit residents ol the city ol
North Vancouver lo have freight
hilled through Irom all points on
the continent or, lor that matter,
on the globe.
If this city win situated in a
location lar removed Innn central
points,a location diHn nit ol M 1 ess
ind with no oiitsnli 1 mbi i tion but
1 stige line, or MOM • mil primitive nn ans ol transportation, then
conditions such as those to which
relerence is made might be sustained without clem nr. but, situated
as this city is.on the very highway
ol trinsaimrican and transpacific
traffic ; sharing, as Ihis city does,
the same magmfici nt harbor, with
one ol the greatest commercial and
shipping centres ol a continent ;
possessed as this city is of transportation facilities whu h place her
within filtcen minutes of that great
centre, and which mctfflbkol
handling with safety ami expedition
the entire volume ol freight (or a
city many tunes larger than North

tions, thc ibsencc of through slop

o( the litter abrogation ol the most
ordinary   business   sense,   and a|
standing reproach to the enterprise
of her citizens, the etfect of which
cannot but be to heavily discount
the importance of this city in the
estimation of the commercial
world.
The establishment ol through
freight arrangements would not
only relieve these conditions,
which must be repugnant to every
loyal citizen, but would open up
possibilities of development which
would mean much to this city, It
is admitted that the volume ol
through business would be small
at first, but the very (act that these
advantages were available would
encourage ami create business,
while the increase ol population
with thc attendant growth of our
mercantile establishments, would
hasten the day when our merchants
would bfl in position to buy direct
from the producer or the manufacturer in carload lots.to the manifest
advantage of all parties and to the
city as such. The necessity for a
local customs office would follow
logically ami many additional advantages would accrue from this
process of development.
The incoming of a transcont
nental railway, would solve this
whole problem at once, it is true,
but that niiich-tobe-dt'sired advent
is yet in the future, whereas uiiiih
can be accomplished meantime liy
the immediate inception ol through
freight facilities, and then, when
the railway arrives, North Vancouver will hnd hersell in possession
of competitive through freight sys-
tims, the advantages ol which are
manifest.
The interests of this city will be
best served by the prr curing of
through shipping privileges at the
earliest possible date.
FOR 7/IF PUBLIC SAFETY
Carelessness in the use ol firearms, upon lhe part of those who
traverse the district ior hunting
purposes, is becoming so manifest
as to constitute a menace to the
safety, if i.ot lo the life of the
general public upon the common
highway. It was subject of coin-'
mint at the last meeting ol the
district council, that iu several
instances stray bullets have
whistled by, in dangerous proximity, to the persons ol travellers
on the roads throughout the municipality. From individual sunn 11
similar complaints are heard. This
is 1 matter to which too early attention cannot be given. It should
not be necessary to wait until a
bullet lodges in the body of some
pedestrian, in order to awaken the
public mind to the realmss ol the
danger. The district council has
already put forth a commendable
effort to saleguard the public in its
bylaw to regulate the use of fire
arms throughout the district, but
it Is a debatable question whether
the presence ol the law on the
statute books is exerting any d
terrent influence upon transgressors. Residents in the Fraser
river delta were troubled with a
similar menace, but it is uudei*
stood that they ban sum tiled in
eradicating the practice, by means
ol individual property holders
posting trespass notices upon their
farms. Unfortunately, the prist im ol such large tracts ol wiltl
lands as are lound in North Vancouver district, renders a like
nnu ily unavailable.   Nevertheless
some sort of prohibitive legislation
might have the effect of instilling
becoming instincts of caution into
the minds of huntsmen. Sunday
appears to bt* the tlay on whit li
this danger assumes its greatest
proportions, for (he reason that
there are much larger numbers
strolling and driving upon the
roads and trails throughout the
district. The prohibition of hunting or ol carrying a loaded wuapon
for the purjioses of hunting or
shooting in the district on Sunday,
might prove a measure' whose significance would not be niisundei-
stootl ami whose (fleet would be to
relieve the public from a very
serious menace to life and limb.
Mrs. J. II Pilling, 10th street,
who has been visiting Iriends in
Holland, for the put month, is
expected to return home in about
a week.

accounts to be adjusted monthly.
Referred  back to the special committee for final arrangement. Jack
Loutet addressed the council with
reference to the   road along the
Capilano through  D.L.  601 and
607.      If the  road  allowance  in
widening the road is taken equally
Irom both sides of   the   present
roadway,  it will leave insufficient
land between the roadway ajd the
l'ver (or building purposes.     Mr.
Loutet therefore requested that the
allowance (or widening the road be
taken all upon the east side of the
present roadway.    Kngineer to re»

(or the Lynn valley system. A
portion of the pipe is now in place
and when the pipe laying is finished, the pipe will be lelt exposed
until a test covering a w hol ■ night,
hai been made under lull pressure.
One pipe had been tested to a
pressure of 160 pounds with satis**
factory results, whereas the heaviest
pressure will not exceed 130 Ibs.in
the operation ol the system. The
extension ol Ross road has proven
a difficult piece of work, but it is
now completed with the exception
of putting in several culverts.
Good progress is being made on
the abutments and the approaches
lor Seymour creek bridge, and the
work in these respects is ncaring
completion. Capilano bridge has

equipment ol road making machinery is greatly needed, and ai
the finances ol the district are in 1

j engineer be instructed to procure
I and submit prices and rrcumnien-

Councillor Ny • siatril that he
cmsidered it advisable that action

action was taken.
The matter of purchasing the
site occupied by St. John's school,
for the purpose of higher education,
as a joint undertaking between the
district and the city was broached,
aud as it is a question that primarily concerns the school boaids.the
matter was left for their initiative.
Councillor Nye gave notice of
motion to clu nge the meeting
night of the council.

Shooting Accident
Fred Ilopwood ol Vancouver,
was the victim ol an unfortunate
shooting accident in Capilano on
Sunday last. With a few companions he came over for a day's
hunting and took th Keilh road
tram. After leaving the car the
party climbed the sl iti road leading
up the hill, turned aside before
reaching the top of the hill and
later made another turn toward
the creek. Here Mr. Hopwood
declared Ins intention ol having
S mu thing lo eat. Two logs crossing each other offered a convenient
resting place. Sitting upon the
upper log, he placed the butt of
his gnu on the lower log ami leaned
the gun against the upper log. B)
mine means the gun slipped and
i 1 sliding over the lower log the
hammer was raised. I he jar in
striking the ground evidently cans
ed the hammer to Iall, discharging
the gun, with the result that the
charge of buckshot entered Ml.
Hopwood's thigh about mulwai
between the knee and lhe hip. (lis
companions tore up portions ol
their clothing and succeeded in
somewhat st. u.idling the flow of
blood. The local police station
was notified,and doctors Campbell
and Verner were immediately summoned. The sufferer was carefullj
convened to the 11 am anil theme

in which it is expected the provincial government will cooperate in

Alter Mr Hays had diipotfld nl

"Alter a trip by rail om mir

Mr. Cowin   was  received with
tremendous and sustained applause. In his opening lemarks
he expressed his appreciation of
the presence of so many ladies.
Proceeding he declared that North
Vancouver is Canada in miniature
as to the problems which press
upon her. These problems involve questions uf local,provincial,
national, and even international
concern. Such conditions demand
an honest citizenship.a courageous
citizenship, and an intelligent
citizenship
Hurrard Inlet will make one of
the finest harbors in the world, ln
C-rdet to do this,the harbor must be
nationalized. Not merely the Vancouver water frontage, but the entire Inlet,including Nurth Ann anil
English bay must be made a
national port. Mr. Horden is
definitely committed tu (Ins plan,
and has pioiniseil thai flVOTlblfl
consideration will bfl given as soon
as a practicable scheme can be
di vised
For  commercial   purposes   the
boundary between Vancouver and
Norlh Vancouver should beaonibi-
Ifltfld. Tin-re is but one way to do
this, namely, by a suitable bridge
ll second narrows. That bridge
must be such as will not inti'ibn*
with navigation. lt must be a
railway bridge and open to all
railways ; an electric tramway
bridge and open to all companies ;
a traffic bridge both vehicular and
pedestrian. Engineers id viae that
it will bfl possible to so construct
a bridge at second narrows, that a
second bridgt would bflCOBM a
practical impossibility, because of
the immense cost. How exceedingly important that this bridge
when built shall bfl capable of
accommodating the entire traffic
lm many years to come.
The nationalization of the haibor
includes the widening of lirst narrows, dredging of False creek.con
struction of dry-docks, a dredging
plant, mat bine shops, and many
other itt ms. The return ol Mr.
Borden would soon see active steps
taken for the improvement of the
harbor, The harbor lines should
belong not to any corporation, but
to harbor comniissioneis, for the
people, empowered to build and
operate wharves, antl to administer
affairs in the interests of the
public.
The prist nee of an alien Oriental
race cannot assist us in working
out  these great problems.      This
must bfl done by those* ol Caucasian
blood.      It   was a fatal day when
oui doors wen- thrown open to the
Asiatic   influx,   and   the problem
would project itsel/into sin i'. tl
ing generations.    The history ol
tins   Asiatic   immigration  was as
lollows:   In tStj5 the Conservative
government    refused   to   become
party to the Anglo-Japanese treatv
unless   empowered   to   deal with
Japanese   immigration  as Canada
might desire.    In l8y6 the Liberal
party took oflice.     In October the
Japanese agreed toconcedeCanada
control of Japanese immigration
Sir   Wilfred   Laurier declined to
avail himsell of those powers and
the Japanese  began io pour in, in
thousands.    Repeated representations were made to the government
bul to no avail.     In 1903 the consul general of Japan in Vancouver,
advised Laurier ol his readiness to
concede  the right ol the government   to   control   this influx, but
about this time the G.T. P. railway
scheme was devised as an election
t ry.   on  th* strength of which the
Liberals were returned to power.
In   1005   thfl  government cabled
London asking lo be made a party
to the Japanese treaty.    The colonial secretary cabled back "What
about Japanese laborers antl iirti
zans;   do  you want to keep them
out?"     September, 1905, the got
einur-gencral   cabled   Iglifl   thai
Laurier was pressing that Canada
be made parti t 1 lhe treaty.    Col-
onial-st 1 it tin 1 ablcdagam "What
about my cable ol July 14th?"  On
September   25th   the government
n plied, finally ralinqniahing th
right to contiol Japanese immigration. That was a black day lor

The position of Mr. Horden is

provinces, bt't there are heavy
duties on every thing that B. C.
must buy. British Columbia contains 3 per cent of the population
of the dominion, but she sustains
i* per cent of thc costol confederation. She should therefore have
y per cent of the hem-tits whereas
she gels but one per cent, ln 1903

$400,000,000, of which B.C. still
gets about one per cent.
The fact that the cost ol loca
administration, is higher iu B.C.
than in the other provinces, constitutes a distinct money claim
against the dominion, lie hat
investigated this ami conti'inle.
that B.C. isenlitledtotbree b'lirtlis

premiers bad admitted the claim
and the Laurier government bail
sought to dispose of it at 1100,000
per year for ten years. Mr Borden
declares "1 will right the wrongs
of B.C. IIyou have this claim
will pay it." He had been upbraided on the floor ol the house
by Hon. I'isherand Laurier for this
statement.
Referring tothecorruption which

declared that one of ils worst 1 tints
