K ANDIE ITSI1EN P THE ALACE VE SWEETS LACE OE QIALITY NKW HANK BUILDING There is every probability that within the next six months a modem hank and office building will grace the south-east corner of Lonsdale avenue and 1st street. The comer property is owned by the Hank ol Hamilton and the property immediately adjoining to the south on Lonsdale avenue, by James C. Keith. The two owners are acting conjointly in the project! and the result will be a splendid brick and stone laced block,two storeys in height and presenting a uniform and unbiokcn facade along Lonsdale avenue, from ist street south to the lane. The corner premises will be lilted up as a modem banking establishment and the other portions ol thc ground lloor as stores. The first storey will be airangul into apartments for living or office purposes. CIVIC ELECTIONS No definite decision lias been reached as yet, by the ratip.i>- ers' association as to whal pai I that organization will lake in the approaching civic elections. The probabilities do not appear to point in the direction of the association placing a ticket in the field as at the last election. The likelihood is that either neutral attitude will be adopted or at furthest that independent candidates will be endorsed or indicated as preferred by the association. A general meeting is called lor next week,when it is hoped to secure a large attendance ol members in onler that the question may be discussed in all ils bearings, ami .1 definite conclusion reached. The Christinas decorations at the Welcome l'arlor are very pretty and give the store an attractive holiday appearance. Another scow load of material for the Lvnn Vallcv extension arrived this week. Tits are now being distributed along the grade and the contractors expect to begin tho laving of steel about Monday. The contract for thc poles has been let, and they will be distributed within the next few days. ALEXANDER P. K BILLY tlnjiii U .mil t'liniitiimler oj Sl.

Maitiaghlin, of McGill university, has arranged through 1'rincipal .1. B, Dennett, to oiler a prize ol live dollars worth of books, to tho boy and to the girl giving the best reading ol Thomas Campbell's "Hohiiiliniliii," the epilogue to Scott's "Lady of the Lake," and selections Irom Aytoun's "The liurial March of Dundee." The exact date ol the lontest has not vel been decided, but it will bc approximately about the middle ol J unify. The judges will be I'llllci- pal Robinson, I'rolessor Rob ertson and I'rolessor Macnaghten, ol McGill university, Vancouver. Thc contest will be open to all children of the public school. It is at present planned to vary the programme bv musical selections from the school children and to charge a nominal admission fee, the pro- lee.ls to lie given to the library lund of thr school. In order that the several selections may bc readily available bv all the pupils, The Express is pleased to accede to the request to print them in lull, as follows: The combat deepens. On, ye brave, Who rush to glory, or the grave ! Wave, Munich, all thy banners wave ! And charge with all thy chivalry ! Few, few shall part, where many meet ! The'snow shall he their winding-sheet, And every turf beneath their feet Shall be a soldier's sepulchre. HOHBNLINDBN (In Linden, when the --un Mas low, All bloodless l.iv th' untrodden slum .

The hills grow dark, On purple peaks a deeper shade descending. In twilight copse the glow-worm lights her spark, The deer, hall-seen, are to the covert wending. Resume thy wizard elm ! the fountain lending, And the wild breese, thy wilder minstrelsy; ! Thy numbers sweet with nature's vespers blending, With distant echo from the fold and lea, And herd-boy's evening pipe, and hum of housing bee. Yet, once again, farewell, thou Minstrel Harp ! Yet, once again, forgive my feeble sway, And little reck I of the censure sharp May idly cavil at an idle lay. Much have 1 owed thy strains on lile's long wav, Through secret woes the world has never known. When on the weary night dawn'd wearier day, And bitterer was the grief devour'd alone That 1 o'erlive such woes, Enchantress ! Is thine own. Hark I as my lingering footsteps slow retire, Some spirit of the Air has waked thv string ! 'Tis now a seraph told, with touch of fire, Tis now the brush of Fairy's Irolic wing Receding now, the dying numbers ring Fainter and fainter down the rugged dell, And now the mountain breer.es scarcely bring A wandering witch-note of the distant spell— And now, 'tis silent all!—Enchantress, lare thee well ! THK HIKIAL MARCH OF IKNDKK Stanzas two (U lines), four and live On the heights of Killiecrankir Yester-morn onr army lay: Slowly rose the mist in columns From the river's broken way; Hoarselv roared the swollen torrent, And the Pass was wrapt in gloom, When the clansmen rose together From their lair amidst the broom Then we belted on our tartans, And our bonnets down we drew, And we felt our broadswords' edges. And we proved them to he true, And we prayed the prayer of soldiers, And we cried the gathering cry, And we clasped thc hands of kinsmen, And we swore to do or die ! Then our leader rode before us On his war-horse black as night- Well the Caim-Ionian rebels Knew that charger in the fight !■— And a cry of exultation From the bearded warriors rose; Tot we loved the house oi Claver'se, And we thought of good Montrose. But he raised his hand for silence— "Soldiers ! I have sworn a vow: Ere the evening star shall glisten On Schehallion's lofty brow, Either we shall rest in triumph, Or another ol the Graemes Shall have died in battle-harness For his country and King James ! IV. And the evening star was shining On Schehallion's distant head, When we wiped our bloody broadswords And returned to count the dead. There we found him gashed and gory, Stretched upon the cumliercd plain, As he told us where to seek him, In the thickest of the slain. And a smile was on his visage, For within his dying ear Pealed the joyful note ol triumph, And the clansmen's clamorous iluir So, amidst the battle's thunder, Shot, and steel, and scorching flame, In the glory ol his manhood Passed the spirit ol the Graeme ! V. Open wide the vaults of Atholl, Where the bones of heroes rest- Open wide the hallowed portals To receive another guest ! Last of Scots, and last of freemen- Last of all that dauntless race, Who would rather die unsullied Than outlive lhe land's disgrace ! 0 thou lion-hearted warrior ! Reck not "of the niter time: Honor mav Ih deemed dishonour, Loyaltv be called | irinitI, Sleep in peace with kindred ashes 01 the noble and the true, Hands that never (ailed tlieir country, Hearts that never baseness knew. Sleep !—and till the latest trumpet Wakes the dead Irom earth and sea, Scotland shall not boMl a braver Chieftain than our own Dundee ! THE EXPRESS, NORTH VANCOUVER, B. C.

Editor Kxpress: Sir, Might I ask space m yunr valuable paper to voice my thanks as a resident ol Moodyville for the unfailing attention and kindness of our sihool trustees. Another mark of this kindness was given yesterdav at the cloning excrciseis ol our school. Although they were held a day early at the request of the trustees, vel not one of theni found it convenient to attend. This is but a repitition ol former closing exercises, not one In the lasl two and a half years having been attended by a trustee. Ol course, I can realize • with the trustees that in our small district they would not have much chance to display tlieir oratorical ability, still a little attention now and again would be appreciated, Yours truly, II.

HOCKEY In a somewhat ragged game, spoiled by the continuous dou 11- pour of rain and the extreme cold, lhe North Vancouver hockey team beat Victoria in their cup match on Saturday last on the boulevard park, by a score oi lour to two. Unfortunately Victoria started a man sliort, and belore his arrival the local team had scored twice, which lead they maintained to the end Mel'herson aiid Swayne plav- ed an excellent game lor North Vancouver, while Montgomery, the Victoria right half, was the best man on the field. The secretary of the North Vamouver club has received notification from the executive committal of the league, upholding thu dub's protest re their match with Vancouver. The contest has been declared "no game," and has been ordered lo be re-played on January 1, with Capt. MacDonald and C. J. Paget-Ford named as nlatwa. The player, Bayfield, who attacked Cardinal), has been suspended for lhe rest ol the season. North Vancouver cross over to Victoria today, to play the Garrison team at Esquimau, mi Satunlav .iltcrnoon, but unfortunately have to go over with I very ragged team, whilst a hard game is expected, unless the locals play at thc very top of their form it is more lhan likely thev will meet with defeat.
