To such an extent has Vancouver spread beyond her boundaries that a .aw "village on the
inlet," as our friend Mr. Macgowan,
M, P. P., would say, has been
established across the rushing
waters ol the lar famed harbor, the
refuge in which "all the shipping
nf the world could find room to
anchor." The new town being
established, the next thing to (ol.
low naturally is the newspaper-
One newspaper being but a dull
thing without an "esteemed contemporary" to act as a tonic or
stimulant, there is always another.
And so The Express of North
Vancouver, George Hartley, managing editor, has been established.
We 'nave just received the first
number of The Express, which,
we presume, has put 011 a litfle
extra style in honor of the day ot
its birth. It is probably not the
intention of the editor 10 continue
lo print bis journal on extra fine
paper all the days of its natural
life, which we trust will be many
nut prosperous, as the first issue
of The Express is a trirle above
the ordinary in appearance. It is
also well tilled with pictures of the
prominent men of the ambitious
town, The centre from which Tin:
Express emanates is apparentl
well supplied with newspapers, bin
then.- is little doubt the paper will
lie able to supply its readers witl
a satisfactory reason for its existence.— Victoria Units.

The executive of the Lewis and
Clark exposition, now being held
at Portland, Oregon, U. S. A., offered a prize of Sioo for the best
poem on "The Trail." Of the
large number submitted in the
co petition, that of a lady was ae
j judged the best. The General
I Press Bureau of the exposition
sent out the following comment:
"Mrs. Lindsley's poem is deemed peculiarly lilting fur the purpose, as it brings out in strong,
snappy language the lilt and swing
of the rider 'hitting the trail' to the
westward, shows forth the development brought about by the
pioneers, and gives due honor to
Lewis and Clarke." The winning
poem follows:

In a conparitively short time
North Vancouver has started to
grow and, mushroom like, scores
of residences are springing up all
over the townsite. Their architecture is modern, and are furnished with all the comforts and
convenioncea of modern houses.
The townsite is all that could be
desiree, audit is doubtful if a more
beautiful and picturesque location
can be found on the continent. In

to the south, may be seen distintly

inlet the city ol Vancouver lies in
full sight to the Twin City.
Nature has done much to make the
site a most desirable location for
the startinp; ol a great city. As
the drainage facilties are excelled
municipal improvements can easily
be made that will insure satisfactory conditions. The surface of
the ground is gently undulating,
and is rapidly being cleared of the
timber. Desirable building lots
can be procured at reasonable
p.ices. Already many residents of
Vancouver are taking advantage of
these conditions and the prospects
ate that in a very short time a large
number doing business across the
inlet will take up their residence

of Nortli Voncouver presents
strong attractions to those desiring
small holdings, which may also be
han at a noniini.il figure. It is
estimated that ten acres set out in
fiuit trees, say, 100 to the acre,
will yield to the investor in a very

Portland, Ore., Sept. 1.—[Special.]—Fire broke out
on the waterfront this afternoon and destroyed the 0., R.
& N. and Pacific Coast elevator docks in less than an
hour. A general alarm brought all the fire apparatus in
the city to the scene. The flames have spread across the
river to the plant of the Eastern and Western Lumber
Company. The fire is still burning fiercely. The loss at
present is over $200,000.
St. Johns, Ore., Sept. 1.—A fire here this morning
destroyed two sawmills, with lumber yards, doing $80,000
damage; insurance $31,000.

The town of Hamilton, Montana, has a marshal who
evidently does not intend to permit that place to go to the
dogs. We find in the Western News, of Hamilton, the following warning, which, as we hope the inhabitants of that
town have discovered ere this, speaks for itself;
TAKE NOTICE.
All persons owning dogs and do
not pay the game by the 15th of August will be killed.
