INCORPORATION.
It will probably be on June ist
when thc mayor and aldermen of
the new incorporated City of
North Vancouver wil! he elected.
The citirens' incorporation committee will meet on Monday night
to discuso the most desirable date
(or holding the election and matters connected with the issuing of
letters patent. Much credit is due
to Hon. Mr. Cotton, the local
representative, for the satisfactorj'
act of incorporation, which was
given assent to by Lieutenant-
Governor Dunsmuir yesterday.
NORTH VANCOUVER
RESIDENTIAL AMENITIES.
In iti political significance the
•city o( North Vancouver is the last
vantage point chosen by the Western Dominion—the field where
Canada's strength is being massed
and pitched—the lecond base of
•operations, from which is to be
essayed Uie neat campaign for the
mercantile mastery of the Pacific
and the commerce of the Asiatic
-world. Regarded as a place o!
residence the townsite rises from
its embankment on the northern
literal of Burrard inlet, tier above
tier, bench above bench, towards
the dark mountain masses, which
in imperial relief against thc
■northern heaven dominate the
southern .coasts oi British Colum
ajiia. From the south the nascent
city shows its terraced ranges as
the widespread centre of a natural
amphitheatre, crowned hy snowcapped heights, whose Titan
shoulders, shield tbe port during
the winter triaiester from the
frigid blasts of the nortli.
The gentle spirit of the
J.ipan current is wafted o» the
Chinook wind over thc city's
breast, perpetual currents o( air,
bom ol the tides which lave her
feet, fan her streets during the
heat of summer, while the eastern
and western Narrows ol the inlet
•with their channelled cutlets, in-
tolerent of atmospheric stagnation
-discharge upon the town lands
alternately the air of the mountains
and the breath of the Pacific The
ait of the locality seems to carry
nature's guarantee of health. The
death rate ii believed to be among
the lowest in Canada. The slope
from foothills to shore, which occasions the natural draining of the
surface, facilitates through systematic sewerage, excellent water
descends by numerous streams
from the neighboring mountains,
■supplying the city system of North
Vancouver, aud distributing its
-surplus benefits to the less favored
municipalities on the south ol
Burrard inlet
Vegetation is exceptionally early,
yet the climate is mild and the
temperatures are moderate.
Timber and building stone are
ia abundance in close proximity
to the settled lands, and ground is
available within the city limits in
quantities suitable for the most
ample residences.
From the elevations of North
Vancouver thc prospect is an exquisite panorama. Eastwards arc
the lofty crests of the ranges which
form the spine of the North American continent. To thc south the
great seaport lives iti restless activity, tht City of Vancouver
nestles like Stockholm on the
bosom oi tlie fiord, and a hundred
and fifty miles beyond, calm,
solitary and majestic ia Mount
Baker draped in the snow of ages.
Farther westward are the suuny
Cull ul Georgia, the neutral tints
of Vancouver Island, and through
the still transparent film of distance the beautiful Olympics with
tlieir mirage atmosphere.
Bathing, boating, sea and river
fishing and shooting are easily accessible, and walks, drives and
objective points for excursionists
abound by shore and hill, by
stream and canyon.
The natural advantages of North
Vancouver are enhanced by artificial amenities. Belore the crowding of buildings has handicapped
the plan of public improvements,
a great boulevard and park system
has been inaugurated, which will
make residential North Vancouver
much more than a garden city.
Ere yet the act of parliament, giving the city legal existence, has
received the signature of the
Lieutenant-Governor, recreation
grounds are being cleared and
speedways are under construction;
choice plants, fountains, and
shelters appear in public gardens;
open spaces are redolent of health,
and works in progress give promise
of shaded boulevards, maintaining
by their spacious proportions thc
broadminded and generous char
acter of the new city.
Easter Vestry Meeting.
A good number of parishioners
attended the annual meeting,
which was presided over by the
Ven. Archdeacon Pcntreath. After
discussing the financial statement,
which showed a (air balance, thi
officers for the ensuing year weie
elected as lollows: Lay delegates
to the synod—Messrs. H. A. Shaw,
A. H. Scriven and A. Sherwood.
Church wardens—A. E. Crickmay
and W. P. Peacey. Sidesmen—
A. F. Beasley. A. B. Diplock, A.
D. Nye, H. A. Shaw, V. Smith
and A. Sherwood. Auditor—A.
H. Scriven.
The matter of enlarging the
church was again discussed, and
the treasurer reported a good
balance in hand towarda this object ; the question of a new organ
was also brought up, and tlic president of the mite society thought
that they could give $50 towards a
subscription for that purpose.
The president also reported that
the mite society had paid for the
installing ol the electric light in
the church.
After the usual vote of thanks to
the church wardens lor their
services during thc past year, the
meeting adjourned.
At the adjourned meeting of the
parishionets of St. John's church,
the Ven. Archdeacon Pcntreath in
the chair, the matter of an arrangement for services for the coming
year came up for settlement. The
bishop appointed Mr. Marsden lasl
Easter for one year, with the
understanding, that the matter of
having a clergyman who would devote his whole time to the patish
should he decided at Easter, 1907,
according to thc condition of the
parish at that time. Alter a very
harmonious discussion, it was
unanimously agreed that the present condition and future growth
of the parish required the entire
services of a clergyman, and it was
resolved. "That while we appreciate Mr. Marsden's services in
the past, wc consider the time has
arrived when we should have a
resident clergyman in charge, who
is able to devote his whole time to
the parish, and wc would ask Uev.
Mr. Marsden to continue in cliaige
until arrangements can bc made
as to a guarantee towards the
stipend."
The archdeacon stated that the
parish would have to raise for
stipend a minimum sum of tfioo,
and that the grant of $300 could
remain until next Easter, when it
could be subject to a gradual reduction.
After a vote of thanks to the
archdeacon the meeting adjourned.

Grouse Mountain in Winter
Garb.
From the summit of the snowy
peak of Grouse mountain, reposing
in sublimity, can lie seen nestled
at its feet the rapidly-rising City
of North Vancouver; Hurrard inlet, mirror-like in its tranquility;
the City of Vancouver with its
glistening steeples and many
streets, and over aud beyond
streams the mighty Fraser, wending its way into the vast body of
water seen to the west. Rising
far in the distance, with their
snow-capped peaks radiating in
the sun, and mirrored in the deep
greenish waters of the straits he-
low, the Olinlpian range lends enchantment to the wonderful panorama stretching over land and
water to the distant horizons on
the three points of the compass.
The overworked school hoy, the
brain-fagged business man, or the
woman wishing to cast aside the
cares ol the day, and for the time-
being don the rolies of freedom
aud the shoes ol Bight, let them
take their lunch baskets and strike
out on the trail leading up Grouse
mountain.
It is remarkable how few " old-
timers " can boast of ever making
the ascent, how very few there are
living within the shadow of the
peak that would give encouragement to thc prospective mountain
climber. Where in America today is there a city that can boast
of a situation that affords to its
citirens aud its visitors the opportunities so rare and so accessible ?
Within three hours one can place
himself in the midst of winter almost pernially, with its diversions
and novelties.
The ascent and decent are both
enjoyable aud exhiliarating, the
slender spruce that cluster on the
mountain side forming an almost
unbroken canopy the whole distance, keeping out the hot sun 111
summer and the cold winds in
winter. Twelve hundred leet
above sea level is reached as thc
traveller finds himsell barely
started, but he must needs sit
down and drink in thc fresh air
and feast on the beautiful surroundings. Ascending again the
trail becomes quite steep at times,
then again it suddenly slopes oil,
as il nature, in her wisdom, wished
to elevate the climber quickly und
tirelessly. Suddenly lie emerges
[tdm the Idlest iuto the broad
canopy of heaven, and, as il in I
command, stops in wonderment,
to gaze down upon nature's
sumptuous spread, 1,000 feet below.
Somewhat fatigued and warm
upon arrival, he suddenly turns to
seek a resting place, but to his
surprise he has already cooled nil
while "taking bearings," the
weariness having taken flight also.
Owing to the extreme cold
during the past winter, a greater
quantity ol snow now lies on the
summit than ordinairly, and which
affords a rare opportunity to visit
winter in his stronghold Those
who are fond of HOWlhoeing will
find an abundance of room and
snow, thc latter ranging in depth
Irom two to twenty feet. From
Grouse mountain to Mount Crown
is a distance >il approximately five
miles (crow route), and as there is
practically little (limbing, affords
one of the chief attractions.
The Nortli Vancouver Board ol
Trade have made repairs lo the
trail, aud it is now in first-class
condition.
The  'Bee'  Was  a "Bee"
Queen's weather greeted the
army of no men who assembled
at Victoria park, on Wednesday,
at 1 p. in., to clear and put into
shape the athletic grounds. All
the business places were closed
(or the occassion, and everyone
was represented at the big " bee."
Chas. Anderson acted as general
ul the forces, and was ably assisted
by his lieutenants, Messrs. Ross,
Amskold, Kennedy and others.
The teams and scrapers that
worked belonged to Messrs. Harry
Foggs Pete Larson, J. Gibson, |.
Wild, C. Lindsay, !•'. Keeley,
West, l'ary and the city.
All wen: in good humor, and
worked with a will till twilight like
Trojans, the result being a two-
acre patch made fit for field sports.
Birt Campbell had charge of the
refreshments, and seen to it that
no one grumbled about being
thirsty. lie said there was only
one " liutinski" to contend
against. Nevertheless his services
were much appreciated. In the
evening, when the afternoon's
work was over, the men gathered
at the hall where a fine spread was
ready waiting for them, which was
prepared bv Mesdames Irwin,
Williams, Clark, Wheeler, Russell,
Amskold and Eves. M. S. McDowell acted as chief of the staff.
The supper bl ing disposed of the
lloor was cleared, and a dance
held, which was a record breaker
so far as numbers were concerned.
It broke up at midnight. The
dance committee comprised T.
Clark and W. Green, Much
credit is due to President McKenzie, Secretary B. Campbell
and the executive committee for
the successful day's proceedings.
Everyone tried to look his best
when Photographer (1. G. Nye
put in his appearance on the stone
pile with his camera. Those who
wish pictures can procure same on
application.
Anyone having shovels picks or
bars will kindly leave same at the
rock pile, as the athletic club is
responsible for their return.

The North Vancouver Boating
Club held its lirst regatta for HJ07
last Saturday afternoon, The
weather was line, and the different
events pulled off were well appreciated, and everything taken
into consideration was well attended. There were, in the afternoon, the first international base-
hall game of the season, and the
inter-colonial football match taking
place at the time at Vancouver,
but nevertheless, the warm supporters of the sporting fraternity
of the Ambitious City were on
hand, and all that went to make
up a very successful afternoon's
entertainment was successful)-
pulled oil. F'ollowing events com
prised the programme :

seconds.
The second event, junior fours,
was won by the crew ol G. A. McMillan, time two minutes and
twenty seconds. This was a very
closely contested heat, and much

well, considering the short time
they have been in training.
The lollowing is the. result of

The Origin Or   ths   Significant   of
Their Nanus.
Tho names of popular dunces have
in most eases a very interesting origin or signification.
The position taken up by the dun- ;
eers gave tho name to the quadrille, j
which is lilerul French for "a little |
Bquare," while country dunce hns no I
connection with rustic   gymnastics,
Imt is simply n corruption   of   the
French centre dmise, which hns reference In the position of the couples op*
posite to each other during the dunco,
The lancers derived Its namo from
the fact that this variation of the
quadrille was originally improvised
by a company ol lancers for tholr own
amusoment while seuted in llieir Baddies.
The polka is a Polish dance, ond Its
inline conies Irom tlio Bohemian word
polka, meaning hall, nnd rotors l
the hall slcp which occurs in this
lively measure, ol which lhe more
graceful schottlsh is a variation, both
names, like that of the national di i
aif Poland  the masourka—boing native terms.
The short steps peculiar to the old
time favorite, tho minuet, gnvo lhe
dance ns name, the Latin for "Btnuli
being ininuliis.
Tlie waltz, ngnin, owes Its nnmo tu
its characteristic movement, the German wult/.en, meaning to revolve, expressing tlm circling motion ol Hie
dancers.
The Roper de Covorley is named
alter its originator, while the less familiar dance known ns the tarantella
is so called because Its vigorous movements woro supposed to be a cortaln
antidote to tho poison ol a noxious
spider ol Toronto, In Italy, whore the
dance is highly popular,
The evolutions ol llie dancer sufficiently explain the term reel. Jig
is Irom the French glgue, and breakdown is a term Ir  across the Atlantic nnd relet- to tlie filial rout be-
lore ih" breakup ol n free ond easy
dancing party.  London Telegraph.

How Nature Lover Finds Some Interesting Records Therein.
The drilling snow tlmt eddies ubout
tliu low branched cedars, clears away
Irom the nuked trunks, ami climbs
into inconvenient waves Where unsuspected liullows lie in wait, reveals the
siieiiuous lile of tlio little inhabitants
u: tlie lingering woods, writes S. T.
Woods in Tbo Ulobe. Tliu long, easy,
eccentric leap oi tho cutlontail shows
from puiiit to point where his bundled feet biUK in llie suit .-now, uud
contrasting in sprightly irregularity
willi the straight trail ut tlie dignified
cut iu search ol u venturesome field
mouse or u flock ui Hurrying snowbirds. There is always -.ouictliing
fascinating about a new truck in thu
snow. It is u piece of evidence that
no casuistry cun obscure and nu array of facts and cireumstuiices can
contradict. It tells that somewhere at
one end of tlie interrupted and winding line is. an animal, and at tile other
is the hole from iihicli it emerged.
The uncertainty of whence and whither mills the charm of speculation, and
perhaps of the kinship of uli tlie blind
wanderors who leave the uncertain
marks of their varied pilgiiniages. A
new track tells tlmt an animal lias
recently passed, and shoWB whether
ho was quiet nnd leisurely or driven
by alarm. It is easy lo picture Ihe
marking of tlie trail in the (lark, dris-
zly night, or on (ho crisp snow under
the clear stars, or perhaps in tlie
open day, when caution points to tlie
eheltcr of the drooping branches und
gathered shrubbery.
The squirrels bave grown octive
since the snow covered up tlieir stores
ol winter food, and are freely opening
tunnels and excavations, For tlie little Held mice, who work under cover
and make only an occasional waddling and .-hort excursion on the yielding surfuce, tlie snow is n piece of
good fortune, for it leaves them fiee
to feast on tlie soft bark of all the
banked-up trees nnd shrubs. Hut
squirrels find tho snow a serious inconvenience. Tliey dig down to tlieir
stores of pino cones and bring thea
to tbe surface, scattering tho gummy
scales about on tlio clctn snow while
eating  the diminutive seeds.   Stores
of beechnuts are less common, but a
lew have been preserved. Tbe smooth
depth does not conceal their location,
for the empty shells on the surface
tell of n feast on this rare delicacy.
Acorns, too, uro brought, to the sur-
incc. The many evidences ol such
activity suggest n season ol scarcity,
for there t*:e already many heavy
drafts on tlio food preserved for the
winter. The littlo fellows have not
yet boon driven by necessity to turn
to the hitter cones of the homlock.
There is Bill) a suppy of more agreeable food under the snow. Tbe early
inroads on this store suggest n bard j
winter; but it would be presumptuous
to pity the sprightly little climbers,
