NORTH VANCOUVER, li. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7.1906.
NUMBER «.
Wlm will second tlie motion to
give the municipal hall a coat of
white paint?
lt was owing ill a great measure
to the very efficient tramway and
ferry services on Labor day that
the third annual horticultural show
was such a big, success.
The  municipal  council met in
egular session Wednesday even
nul
What higher compliment could
be paid to Nortli Vancouver than
that which Aid. lletlnine made at
the banquet on Monday night?
He announced for the lirst lime
liis decision to be a candidate in
the mayoralty race next January in
Vancouver. Here's success to
you, Mr. Mayor to be.
The council will have tlic
cordial support of the ratepayers
in passing a by-law to regulate the
electric wiring of buildings, lt
bas been pointed out that electrical
fixings, which could not lie used at
Vancouver have been brought
over here and installed. When
the ordinance is passed this danger
ous praclice will be done away!

THE BANQUET,
Two very noticeable features ol
Monday night's gathering was the
perfect harmony and good feeling
thai existed  between llie ollicials
ol     llritisli     Columbia's     greal
corporation and the municipality,
and the confidence that was su
evident throughout the remarks   '
the evening.    In replying to the
toast ol ibe  "Railway   Service,'
General   Superintendent    Milnt
c usually  referred to three  verj
important factots in the progress
ol North Vancouver: the efficiency
•of the system in the near future hr
.said would be on a par wilh  the
most up-to-date lines; the branch
extending up tlie Capilano would,
within a reasonable tunc,  be an
accomplished   fact;   the   sincere
mutual    understanding    existing
between the corporation and the
company,  as an augury  ol   the
prosperity and material assistance
in st'ire for the   future   ol   the
Ambitious City.
Nurtli Vancouver lias arrived at
the stage where push and energy
will be needed to form one of the
leading spirits in her ascendency.
Men who will nol lie lound  wanting in cither ambition or discretion.
As matters stand today we have
both.  The B. C. Electric Railway
Company have shown,  by   their
wisdom,  that they are in   every
sense of tbe word aiming to build
up North Vancouver and make it
a city second to  none   in   this
province.    It is now up to   the
residents and business men to put
their shoulders to lhc wheel and
push our rapidly-growing city up
another rung  in   the   ladder  of
progress.
The Inlet and the Rain.
The inlet yesterday was as
muddy in appearance as the Fraser
river, caused by the heavy rains.
The fresh water streams became
very low during the dry weather,
and, as a consequence, the dried
sand and fallen timber on the
banks came down in abundance
with the flood. Also, logs and
brush coming down the I't'ascr
river to English bay, came in
through the First narrows with
the tide. Together wilh tlie waste
timber from the mills hundreds of
cords of wood were aboat. This
is a distinct danger to the craft o'
tlic harbor, especially at night.
ing.   Present—Reeve Kealy
Councillors May and Cornish
Communications were dealt with
as under:
'he poundkeeper reported that
six cattle had been impounded end
$to in fees collected during August.    Filed.
J, Lawson wrote asking that the
Keilh road, west of tlie Capilano,
be cleared.   Board of Works.
James Murray complained of an
oflcnsive smelling drain near his
place on the Esplanade.    Board of
Health.
Tbe clerk reported that be had
received from the ferry company
three policies of insurance on the
steamer North Vancouver, aggregating only J7,ooo. Clerk instructed to ask for information as the
agreement called for $10,000.
T. S. Nye suggested ihat the
council lease lots (i, H and J, in
1). L. 2026, for a quarry, Board
of Works and Engineer Balmain
to report.
Engineer Balmain reported re
Seymour creek bridge, and suggested that Mr. Tytler be asked
to submit plans for a new one and
indicate a site (or ils erection. Referred to Board of Works.
James Millie, general superintendent of tlie li. C. Electric Kail-
way Company, wrote in reference
tu tlie wiring of houses in Nurlli
Vancouver, After a lenghty discussion the council decided to pie-
pare a by-law to regulate the wiring of buildings.
The reeve reported that be had
appointed Mr.  Bisinman watt,
works foreman temporarily,   His
..c'.ioti was approved, and instructions given to advertise for a new
waterworks foreman.
Reeve Kealy and Councillor Cornish were appointed to interview
President Hendry of the V., W. &
Y. regarding the proposed bridge
across the Second narrows.
W.   T.   Stein   was   appointed |
auditor of the municipality for the
year.
The reeve reported that  Solicitor Taylor and he had  taken  up
tlie question of the sub-division of
district lot 265 by the Lonsdale
estate before Mr. Justice Irving on ,
Friday last, and he bad held that '■
they could sub-divide down to ihe
waterfront and throw the roads in,
In llie solicitor it did  not seem
llial this judgment was in accordance with bis interpretation of the
land registry act passed at the last
session,  which required  that   all
property sub-divided  must show
roads every boo feel leading to the
waterfront,   Taking the solicitor's
advice lhe reeve was ol lhe opinion
ihat they sliould appeal to the full
court,   The   appeal   would   nut I
cost more than $250, and if they I
could get judgment in their favor
it would mean the saving of many
thousands oi dollars to the municipality in future, since roads to the
waterfront   would   liave   to    be
ixpropriated at great cost,   Mr,
justice Irving's judgment was that
since the map ol the sub-division
did not show roads the   owners
were not compelled to leave them.
On motion of Councillors Cornish j
and May the reeve was empowered |
to take proceedings for appeal,     I
The council iben adjourned,

A Big Success—The Opening—Prize Winners.
The third annual exhibition of
thc N irtb Van ouver Horticultural
A ■ aOciati' 11, , .'icli m held Oll
Monday in the Alexander park,
was a greater success than heretofore, boili in exhibits and attendance, From the time of opening until the end of the (lay there
was a continual stream oi people,
and every car both coming and
going was Idled to overflowing.
Mr. R, (i. Macpherson, M. P.,
on opening tbe exhibition to the
public, iu a brilliant speech,
complimented the association and
its officers on their success, and
also tlie people of North Vancouver on lhe great progress being,
made both as regards the town
and its products,
On entering the large tent containing the exhibits one was
astonished at tile neatness and
good judgment exercised in the
choice aud placing of the exhibits.
On cither side of the isle running
around the inside of the enclosure,
were tables covered with homegrown vegetables, fruits, honey,
etc., and many novel varieties of
fancy work and cushions, lt is,
indeed, hard to place so much in
an enclosure the size of the tent
Vised without conjeslion, but Monday's display was totally devoid of
any over crowding. The adaptability of those having this part of
•ie work in hand was fully
appreciated by the great interest
shown and llie words ol admiration
that was everywhere evident.
lt would be  indeed  difficult to
point out any exhibit^ that   was
deserving ol   more   praise   than
another.  Councillor May's lucious-
looking fruit elided tbe attention
of all, as did also the exhibits of
Reeve and Mrs. Kealy,  Mr.  and
Mrs C. E. Keene, and Mr.  and
Mrs. J. J. Woods, Mr. Scbultz and
ithers,    The large display ol Mr.
Keene was very noticeable,   lhe
-lock ol plums and   vegetables,
and also live slock   being   con-j
-picious  lor   their   many   white
tickets.    Tlie   apiary    of     Mrs.
Kealy was awardrd first,  after a
most difficult task on  the | art of
lhe judges.    The fancy work was
perfection in itself,  and to those
that appreciatedcrazy work,  this
display was particularly creditable,
Mr.  Alex.  Gibson captured lirst
for tbe best single driver, out of a
nood   display.   The   [trackman-
Ker people were awarded the lirsl
prize for the besl general  purpose

Owing to the excessive rain ol

lower portions of the valley, and
tbe rippling Lynn creek became a
raging torrent, rising almost fifteen

President Cornish is thc most
hustling "Cousin Jack" that ever
was. lt was amusing to see him
bustling like a beaver and aii the
time singing—
And  shall Treliiwnc-y die, and   shall

Alex. Gibson, tbe vice-president,
may be a good horse shoer, but he
had no time to shoo Hies on Mon-
dav, though. In fact, he moved so
fasl that thc flies dropped exhausted trying to catch up with him.
"Hoot mon," but it was"graun"
to bear Secretary Robert L.
Docherty's rich Doric, lt was
also "unco nice" to see how be
could answer seven questions at
mice, and hand out tickets to six
people at the same time, and
never lose his temper—or make a
mistake,
A denial of the fact that A. D.
Nye did great work as director is
out ol the question. He was nigh
unto the work all the time, and it
is a pity that his self-sacrificing
devotion to other people's inteiests
sliould bave been rewarded by
having all bis exhibits stolen.
Tbe thief deserves the direst
penalty, especially when it is
known that Mr. Nye intended to
present the fruit to the editor of
ibis fearless exponent of the rights
of the people, The Express hopes
that vengeance (or this outrage
will not be I). Nyed.
The municipal treasurer was
another bard working director, lt
was wonderful how many people
took to the genial Woods when in
need ol advice or assistance.
Another director that was very
much on hand was Mr. Alex.
Smith. He did not give jhe work
absent treatment by long distance
telephone either, He was Johnny
ou the spot Irom the time the hose
brigade stalled out watering thc
streets in the morning till the last
visitot had departed in the evening.
Director Geo, A. McBain did a
great deal towards winning
■uccess, both by personal work
md by letting 11 splendid example

W, P, Peacey, who it also the.

Tho Squawman's Diamonds.
A  decadn ot years or so ago.  Dr.
Henry M. Ami, of tho Geological Sor- :
vey, stari laid Canada by a declaration I
of his belief that Canada possessed In \
Northern  unLarlo   a   vast   deposit   of
diamonds which would put Johanna. •
burg In the dark.   He wja laughed sl j
then, but lime has proved his vindicator,   Port lYoni-ea sends tills story as
proof thereof:
Ono day a thirsty French-Canadian
squaw man namo La Kebre. camo to
ltalny Lake (nun '.he Selno district. On
his gaudy brass watch chain hung a
sparkling sinno which he bad made
into a charm by twisting soma, wire
around It. 11* ran into a pnispectnr
named Hopes In the bar room of the
hotel of the camp, and with ugly de-
meaner demanded that Ropes buy hltn
a drink.
The old prospector's eyes had caught
sight of tho at'ine dangling from '.he
'inaw man's chain and another glance
was sufllcient.
That's i pret'y piece of quart!
you've got there," r"markisl Ropes
quietly. "It you'.I givo It to mo PII
buy you all tho drinks you want"
The man glowered at the prespecttr
for an Instant, undecided whether he
was belug gtiyt-d, but Hopes' countenance was serious. La !*Ybre tore the
stone from Its setting anal snapped II
over to his companion with a load
guffaw.
"liy gar, I guess youse want It worae

CAT SUCKLES RAT.
Little Toronto Rodent Waj Given Her
to Eat, But Ske Adopted and
Nourished It Instead.
When a cat and a rat lie down together, their relative positions aro
Hniinarlly Uioso of the lion and the j
lamb — thi> rat, In other words, Is In-1
elds tho feline. That pre-ocoupled look]
nf happInosW, supplemented by an occasional purr, which In so often ob-1
served In the case of .somnolently lazy
pusnl.% is often the result, naturalists ■
say, of a juicy rat In kitty's digestive
apparatus.
Most Toronto eats love rats In Just j
that way -for tho Bake of the loaves
and the fishes, n.-t It were, There Is
onu at Mlclilo and Co.'fl on King street
which enjoys tho distinction of being
different, says Th.' Toronto Star. It li
suckling a young raL, anil whothor it
in raising ll for bnu'volant purposes remains to bi' seen, Perhaps it is merely an unusually wlso cat, and Is raisins
the Ll11lo rodent simply with an eye
to a future repast, This theory must
give place, for the present) to Borne
warping of the mother Instinct, so
strung in all an.mats, which has Included a very lively little rat in the
comradeship of five very black and, aa
yet, helpless klttrna.
When a p illcoman at the corner of
Kins and Yonge streets handed a
young tat to Mr. Joe Wilson, of
MiehJe's, a few days ago. he did not
know that ho wns starting a romance
In animal life, which may end In a
trag-'dy Boon. Mr, Wilson, mindful of
a cat at the store whloh had become
the mother of five kittens, as black
us herself, took thn gift In good part,
11* duly pn'scntid the rat lo Mrs.
Tabby.
Tli ore are no nerds extant relating
to the s!<v?o of Paris which give the
opinion of the rat-raters of that period
as to the comparative Juicyness of
ymng and old rats. It would naturally
be thought that a rat so young and tender as the one which Mr. Wilson banded to the cat would be a morsel particularly tempting to anything with an
appetite for Mus Decumanus, which li
what the scientists say.
The cat received the rat without the
usual licking   >f lips, In fact it slob-,
bep'd the youngster over, as If II was
IU own offspring, which found no trouble In making room  for their    much
smaller comrade.  Tho rat, f >r Its part,
not having learned tho A II C of life |
from Its people at home, snuggled down
eomforta-bly In Its new nest, and partook of the same refreshment as was,
afforded the little black kittens.
It has been wisely said that parental
favoritism Is the ruination of many a
homo. Among animals, though, the mother Is often observed to deal most.
kindly with her weakest offspring,
and to take especial precautions to
guard It from dancer, This may ex-
plain why the tabby nt Michle's apparently regards the rat as the darling
of her heart. Cats do not approve of the
t io frequent visits of blundering humans to their homes, and Mrs. Tabby
has shown her disapproval of this by
moving her family three times. Her
favoritism towards the rat, which she
evidently thinks her smallest and weakest charge, was noticed the first time
she moved. She was noticed by M*\;
Wilson running off to the coal bin with
the rat In ber mouth. "Now," said he,
••It's all up with the mt." Ho was!
wrong. She was merely moving It be-1
fore she moved the other occupants of
her first home. She foil >wed with them,
.»ne by one, and set up housekeeping1
In the coal bin.
It must have been a veritable feline
San Francisco, and the cat soon moved
— this time to a b *x.
Men prominent In the study of animal
life s.iy that there Is no other case on
record of the kind. Some of them, in
fact, laughed Incredulously when the
Incident was mentioned to them.
It will be Interesting to learn what
happens to tho little fellow, if It Is
wise, It will hie away to other haunts
BJ S'>on as nature will permit. If It
elects lo remain with Us fo.ster family
there Is Ilkoly to be a catastrophe soon,
The kittens will ba weaned, and It is
i good guess that some day they too
Will bSSUme that look of utter happiness
which oomes to their kind after a good
and Juicy meal. A'hen that happens,
Mr. IUL will have mysteri msly vanished—into thin air, It might be said; but,
better, into thin cat.

Mr. Colin Forbes In London.
Undismayed by the hostllo criticisms
to which his pictures uf the King and
Queon (painted for the llous-- of
Commons at Ottawa) havo been sub-
Jeoted, Mr. J. Colin Forbes. R. C. k.t Is
busily engaged upon a portrait of Sir
H»nry I'ampbell-ltitnnorinan, tho Hrlt-
Ish Premlor. This picture is destined
to be A companion on the walls of the

Mr. Forbes' portr.ilt of Mr. Gladstone,

Liberal leader of atur Victorian days.
Mr.   Fort)- .   r<- i ,     'ils  visits   lo    Ha-
Aarden, while painting the Gladstone
portrait, as among tho happiest experiences of his llfo; but, if stories
whloh como fr-in London are true, his

will be equally happy. " 'C, -■' Is

and as c.oso rapprochement between

the tlrst conditions towards Lhe creation of a successful picture, n Is likely

ON SLOPE OF MOUNT ROYAL
Rich   Light   Bithet  the  Old  Colonial
Mansions  In  Supernal  Beauty—
Police Chirfs Reminiscences.
Mr. Jajnes Harrison, the chief of police of Westmount, while ho Is as pnie-
tlcal a man aa breathes, is, nevertheless,
a bit of an antiquarian and archaeologist. Indeed, many years ago he had the
high honor uf officially escorting the
British Association for the Advancement of Science on a tour of Inspection
of the historic memorials in England,
including Stoneynurst College — being
thoroughly equipped for the task by
much personai exploration and wide
reading,
Mr. Harrison can tell you all about
tho oid colonial raxn.ilonfl or. the sitto
of the mountain, and give a history ol
the families who .ive In Un-rn, says a
writer In The Montreal Siandard. Hu
can bring you, tor instance, tu the
Haines mansion, which the strung,.:
would quite miss, embowered as it is
In ancient trees. This c.-lonlal mansion la over one hundred and fifty
years of age. To look at 11, to take In
ih* spacious grounds, the conservatory,
the stables, built ti solid stone, to become measurably affected by tho sense
of repose which Mils upon the spirit,
at this height and In this ntll.ne.ss. Is
to find the noley modem world mercifully receding from the view. One
Is, Indeed, far removed from thosmota
and clamors of an Industrial city. No:
a sound could Invade this stlllmas,
which falls upor. the city man like a
benediction from the skh-a.
Light Bathed Scene In Supernal Boauty
In the lato afternoon the unhindered
birds were singing their VStpcr song
•—sweet and penetrating, and sad for
the very beauty of the singing. A
rich light bathed tbe scene la supernal
beauty,
Through an opening In the trees one
saw the St. Lawrence shining like silver. In the beyond were the purple
hi Us, drn-wlnjf the heart like a magnet,
The air was clear and balmfui. An utter sense of rest side sweetly In upon
tbo consciousness. One could have locked at the outward scene, which visitors have declared to be equal to that
which Is offered at St. Cloud, in Francs,
without though; of the clock,
The noble oak and maple and elm
trees offer a grateful shad*, nnd give
a softness to the family mansion which
relieves the hardness of th«- stone.
There are the columns at the front entrance, the sense of length and room,
of coolness, of ease, and of a world la
which one need never hurry. There axe
winding drives and parterres nf flowers, while a solemn hush is all per-
vaolve,
For generations the Raines family
have lived here. I; Is still occupied by
members of the same family—the pre?-
e-it Mrs. Haines and several sons and
daughters. In lhe old colonial days,
when we had what Is called the British
regime, the old mansion almost constantly gave forth LV pounds of gaiety,
Formed Social World of Their Own,
For It became the habit of many
British oflloers who bad served In other parts of the world to come out and
sot tie In Canada.
Theso formed a little eoe'al world of
their own. Not a few British officers
built homes for themselves on the side
of the mountain, These cJin be soon to
this day. Then* are at least four such,
still In good repair. They bave flat
roofs, and If one peeped in—two of
them are at present untenanted — he
would see the old English open fireplace and the Iron*, tho wide room*
and the stately simplicity which marked thc decorations.
Then Chief Harrison would point out
other old family residences given up
t.> strangers — old places with privet
hedges about thera, us In the Old
Country, somnolent old places, screened frun tlie view, In which Itfe wns
lived easily at one time.
The newly-rich are, of coune, more
obviously In evidence; and one onuld
learn Interesting particulars of tbe way
In which energetic business men had
built up fortunes in the oily, and then
camo out to this Ideal spot to live,
themselves and their families. Such
men have selected the natural coigns
of 'vantage against the sldo of the
mountain, and their mansions -for they
are nun.skms — ztand out strikingly.
They are, per Imps, a little staring, bu:
time will assuage, and In a generation
the map'.e will afford a grateful
shade.
Costly mansions, most of them, with
every modern comfort and convnlence,
built of pressed brick or Montreal
limestone, with wide verandahs, sun
from all sides, and the view commanding the St. I.*awrenee and all the alluring beyond. And some of them
have gone away up until the highest
peak has been reached, and thero. like
an eerie, their homes are perched
Some live the year round, even at tho
highest altitude, while others have simply light structures suitable for the
summer.
Travelers Want the Bible.
One of tho signs of the day Is the revival of the oid-tlme demand for the
Bible, us an adjunct to tho hotel bedroom. Ten or toweJve ye.us ago every
room In a hotel of any pretension had
a Bible on Its bureau. Thtn It was
the practice of most hotels to Include a itibie in tho list of necessary
furniture. Gradually the peophi who
were back of the enterprise lost interest and the books disappeared.  It now
seems that many persons, particularly
commereiaJ travelers, complain of missing them. Frequently they read a chapter before going lo bed Just to drive
away the blues, bul now they never
got a chance to look inside a Bible I ms
Toronto hotalkeepor has realised the
need for a revival, and has given an or
der for several doien Bibles. "It shall
not be said that any man stopping at
my hou.se is driven to perdition for the
want of a Bible" Is tlie way In which
bo puts It.

HOW IT WORKED,
M llli-'a Si'lii',,,,' In (nro Hit lln.linnd
Ot   ExQa*a-!aTa*   SluOatinK-
She read about it iu the back of a
magazine, The advertisement said ihat
It was tasteless, that it could In* administered In the breakfast coffee nml
that It would cure the most confirmed
smoker of the tobacco habit without
liis knowledge,
To be sure Elmer smoked only three
or four cigars u day. Still, why should
be smoke at all? She didn't.
So she wrote for the cure, nnd In due
time It arrived iu u plain sealed pack-
lice with full Instructions inside,
I'lifoi'tunately It arrived before she
was up. Elmer opened it, smiled to
himself, sealed It up again and said
nothing.
The next morning she gave hltn his
first dose.
"This coffee has a bitter taste, hasn't
It?" he asked,
"Your stomach must be out of order," she answered. "It tastes all right
to me."
"Strange."
That night he brought home a large
new box of cigars. Usually nder dinner he smoked once, but that night In
smoked all the evening. The atmosphere was thick.
Thc second morning he complained
again about the coffee's bitterness.
"Well, no wonder your taste is out of
order," she snld reproachfully, "considering how you smoked last night."
"I've had tbe most remarkable craving for tobacco lately," be muttered.
And nt dusk lie brought home n costly meerschaum pipe nnd a pound of
Cavendish and, shutting himself up In
the library, smoked like il forest Uro
until bedtime.
"Hadn't we better change the coffee?
Surely you must have noticed its odd
taste," lie said on the third morning,
"Xo, 1 haven't noticed It," she answered faintly.
Ile brought home from the city in the
evening a huge tin Ims of Egyptian
cigarettes, u hookah and a jar of Turkish tobacco.
"1 never enjoyed smoking ns I've
done lately," be explained. "I can't
keep a cigar out of my mouth."
And that night he smoked cigars nnd
cigarettes, meerschaum and hookah till
ho taw her rise and hurry, with a vin-
dldlve look, to the kitchen.
Following on tiptoe, he snw her unlock u drawer, take out n bottle Hint be
knew and pour lis contents Into the
sink. Uo chuckled.
And thereafter be complained no
more about the coffee and his tobacco

OVER FORTY GROWING YET.
Strange Disnsa Causes An Enormous
Development of tlie Bones.
Among ilia' out-patients of the Man-
cliester Royal Infirmary is a mnn who
after attaining normal development
cannot slop growing, He Is suffering
from a discus,' known us acromegaly,
which menns un enlargement of the
baines, and most obviously of tho bones
of the skull, hands and feet.
It Is an exceedingly rare disease, and
tho case Is particularly interesting to
medical men, and the patient has been
the subject of a clinical lecture at the
hospital.
The man Is 42 yenrs of age, and the
dlseaso was diagnosed nhout seven
years ago, during which lime ho has
developed enormously, In appearance
he is not a pleasant sight. His llgure Is
becoming somewhat curved and misshapen as tlie disease affecls the long
bones. His Jaws are leonine In character. The lamer jaw has assumed
vast proportions, the lower teeth
spreading out and projecting far In
front of those of the upper Jaw. Hia
face is shaped somewhat llko an egg
with the large end ,1 iwnward.
The naise has broadened considerably
and the ears are nearly as big as an ordinary person's banal, and apparently
the curtilages of the larynx have thickened, as at times it is difficult to dis-
tlnguisli his speech, The eyes, too, are
growing bigger, lie has also developed
a peculiar species of blindness known
as hemianopsia,
He has enormous hunds In comparison with an ordinary man. The fingers
are not growing In lenglh, but thickening, and lhe palm Is getting wider. He
cannot well spread out his Angers, and
the tendency Is to cause the hand t'i
resemble a rounded spade. The upper
parts of the nrms are shrunken, as are
the upper parls of his lens. So thick
have bis feet become lb.it walking Is a
difficulty,
