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.

I'rolessor R. E. 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

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.

LADY  OF  THE  LAKK  (Epilogue)
Harp of the North, farewell !  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,

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.
Vancouver team journeys by
lhe same boat to take issue
with Victoria.
