NORTH VANCOUVER, 13. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26,
NUMBER 28.

The Council Decides After a
Lengthy Discussion to
Request Manager Sperling that the Proposed
Route of the Transit Line
Be Altered.
The municipal council met on
Thursday night in camera to discuss changes in the proposed route
of the tram line. Reeve Kealy
piesided and there were present
councillors Morden, Allen, May
and Cornish. The meeting convened about 8 o'clock and lasted
till near ll. The discussion in the
matter was principally conducted
by Councillor Morden, who was
strongy opposed to any alterations
being made, and Councillor Cornish, who was just as emphatic
that Third street was not the most
advantageous route, hut that First
street was the proper one.
Councillor Morden characterized
this as being an absurd notion, and
said that the road would yet go
on Third street.
The whole discussion was precipitated over the resolution of
Councillor May, which was in
effect, that Mr. Sperling's first
proposition to the council be
accepted, with the following
amendments thereto: That the
carline run east und west from
Lonsdale avenue, ou First street,
that it be extended northwards on
Queensbury driveway to Nine*
tauilh street ins.e;.*l A   I' ievcilllt.
lua somewhat lengthy speech
Co iniill' r Coitlish supported litis
contention and iu doing so
seconded the motion.
This was opposed by Councilloi
Morden who moved au amendment
but got no seconder, that Third
Street be submitted for that of
First.
Councillor Allen supported the
resolution.
The route now asked for is as
follows:
South on Queensbury avenue
through lot 273 to Fourth street,
thence west to St. Patricks' road,
South on St. Patricks' to First
street, thence west to Forbes
nvenue (.to the Mission), north on
Forbes avenue to Fifth street,
thence west to liewicke avenue
and westward.
Also up Lonsdale avenue to
Twenty-first street.
This new proposition will be
submitted to Mr. Sperling,
Manager of the 13. C. Electric
Railway today.
There was a letter from
Sperling agreeing to the belt

necessity of cheapening education
to the masses, did, in the autumn
of 10,04, institute a searching inquiry into the cost of public school
text books to the people ol British

draw up the following resolution
for presentation to the Government of liiilish Columbia:
" 'Whereas—The time is opportune for the provincial government
to print all school books used in
the public schools of the province,
and also supply the same tree, or,
in any event, at cost, to the pupils.
Therefore be it—
"'lU'.soi.vi'ii-That the Vancouver
Trades and Labor Council respectfully request the provincial government to print and publish all supplies required lor the public
schools.'   And—

wisdom Xorth Vancouver must
stand for. But then what are we
going to do about it? Hon. Mr.
Carter Cotton represents this d ■

Xorth Vancouver when he approves of thc government policy of

Potatoes grown on the friable
sandy land of North Vancouver
are very nutty and sweet, and
might have extensive cultivation
at a paying price. It is true immense crops are raised on Lulu
island, but in wet seasons a loss is
often Sustained. The tubers
grown on high and comparatively
dry ground is always ol a better
quality. One of the most productive and paying crops is onions.
They always command a good
price and sell quickly as they are
constantly in demand both for
flavoring and for eating as a vegetable. There is nothing so healthy
as the unctious onion, we all know
the old saw.
"An onion a day, keeps the
doctor away."
It seems strange that as far as
can be learned this vegetable has
been so neglected here. One of
the Australian liners unloaded
FIVE-HUNOREO TONS
of onions on the dock at Vancouver, these were principally for
the upper coast, but a good
quantity were sent inland. They
were a very pretty sample, of uniform size, not large, packed in
octagon slat boxes with apetures
(or ventilation. They arrived in
excellent condition, not thc least
sprouted, and were mild in flavor.
It seems surprising that when
there is a soil and climate right to
The Wreck.
It ts now stated that only 40
ives were saved out ol the  160
souls on board the ill-fated steamer
Valencia, which went on the rocks
Monday night, on the rocky stretch
of coast on the west coast of Vancouver   island,   known   as    the
"graveyard     of     the    Pacific."
Another is added to the list of
wrecks   that   have   strewn    the
Pacific coast, and one more appeal
goes up to the federal government
to act immediately in   providing
the facilities for averting disaster
and for saving life in future cases
of emergency.   A more pitiful and
tragic story of tbe disaster of the
Valencia   could   not   be    told.
When the wreck broke up all on

lost-   The awful suspense ol men
and women and crying  children
doomed to a watery grave can only
be imagined   not   described   by
words.   "The wills be done."

shaped onion, is, when properly
grown the largest cropper. Individual onions often weigh as much
as a pound, it is a great seller, but
does not keep as well as the first
two varieties named. It is tbe
most mild in flavor and thc aroma
docs not hang so long on the
breath. It can be eaten with
bread and butter when sliced and
is excellent lor salads. The great
difficulty with the onion is, in order
to get it to its greatest perfection,
it requires perhaps more attention
lhan any other vegetable. In thc
first place the soil has tu be
specially prepared,
IHOIUll'l.lll.V   I.EVEI.I.I.Il,
every stick and stone removed
and a well rotted, composet
or manure applied in ample
quantities with one or two dressings ol fertilizers applied during
the growing season. Most people
sow the seed ol the onion directly
in the ground. But this is not the
proper way to proceed, plants

is the recognized distance, and
about eighteen inches between the
rows, so that a Planet Junior Cultivator may pass easily between
them. This should be kept moving on any signs of weeds, as the
onion is a lady that wants no bad
company.
It is perhaps unnecessary to say
that the onion plant is very hardy
as against host, and tho sooner
they can be set out in the spring
the better, probably about the end
o| March, the crop should be
niatuied in August. Sonic people
prefer to grow the onion from
"scls"; bul tiles-, come expensive,
but arc very reliable if they can
be had of sufficiently small size,
as the large ones run away to iced
and make thick necks.

MUCH   OF   IT   IS   UNCONSCIOUS,
BUT OF FIRST ORDER.
What Occurs When a Child Is Taught
Orally and Without Explanations—
Dr. Macnamara, M. P., Gives Some
Remarkable, Examples In His Work.
"Schoolroom Humor" — Some Absurd  and Amusing  Stories.
Dr. Mncnamam, M P., In his book,
"Scl Ir torn Hum"!'," has mads n collection of children's mistakes and ah*
surdities which is very amusing, Some
of the stories are examples "f uncon-
scious cadre; such, fur Instance, is tint
of the case of tlie Liny who said Hnd
"the marriage custom., of the ancient
Greeks were that a man had only one
srlfe, and this was called monotony."
Other stories sliow us lhe working
of a child's mind In the way in which
ll has been taught. For example, a
boy who had learned his "Duty Towards God" orally, being asked to write
It down, produced the following: "My
duty toads God Is to Weed In IHm, to
ferins; and lo loaf wlthold your arts,
wlthotd my nunc, wifhold my sold, and
with my sernth to wire.hp and give
thanks, to put my old trash In Him."
This example Is fifty years old, but
the book contains more modern results
of bad teaching.
Thus, a child wrote down this version of the tenth commandment: "Thou
Shalt nol cunu lliy neighbors house,
ttmus shalt not cumt thy neiKlilior**
wife, mornln' circus, inornin' 'oss.
momln' ass, nor anything that Is his."
Many of the anrwers in the book show
that the children had been taught mere
isolated Items of information, which
they -Tjpposril to have no object except to provide questions In school In
such cases what Is learned Is only
words.
A child, bolti-; asked to name the
chief mountains In Scotland, answered:
"Hen Nevis, Hen Lomond and Ben
Jonson." Hr. Macnamara thinks that
"firls are more conscientious than boys,
and see sooner what is expected of
them.
A hoy. being n.sl(oil "Who was Guy
Fawkes!*1 replied: Guy Forks Is a
man made by another man," whereas
a girl Bald: "Guy Fawkes was a man
who tried lo destroy Parliament."
A child was asked to think of a creature that wriggles about In the earth
and sometimes comes to tho top through
a holt. "A worm," replied the child.
He was asked to think of another
creature with the Fame habits, and cried
In triumph, "Another worm." Lessons
to that boy svere a kind of game of
Question and answer
Some oilier que linns and answers
follow: "What in a celestial pole?" "A
heavenly perch." "What Is poetry?"
"l'oetrj la when every line begins with
n capital k*iter" A child wrn.e of an
Imaginary expedition to lhe north pole.
At last wo reached the north pole.
Wo sallctl into lhe harbor aud wont to
see the town."
In an account of the SalvaUon Army
child wrote of lhe women: 'They
have names on their hats like sailors.
They make & deal of noise; (he won.od
two Is called captain and hflentiant."
Another child delinM a nib. as "the

while still another youngsler di icr bed

A teacher after explaining the use
of the hyphen asked n boy why there
was a hyphen in "bird-cage" The hoy
answered: "ll i.. for Hi" bird to i ■ voh
on, sir." Thai boy, Hr, Macnamara
says was among tho dunces, bul it
was probably hi-.

After lhe Junk bus been sufficiently

THE SOUTHERN COYOTE,
Unhid, of i'liii Cunnlag Aialnml nr-
aei'iiii'd by President Roosevelt,
These southern coyotes or prairie
wolves are only about oue-lhlrd the
Blzo of lhe big gray timber wolves of
tho northern Rockies, Thoy nre too
small to meddle with full grown horses
and cattle, but pick up young calves
nnd kill sheep as well as any small ilo-
mastlcatod animal that they can net at.
The big wolves llee frinn Ihe neighborhood of anything like dose sonic-
uicnts, but coyotes hang around iho
neighborhood of man much more per-
(latently. Thoy show a toxllko cun-
nliti! In catching rabbits, prairie dogs,
gophers und lhe like. After nightfall
thoy nre noisy, and their melancholy
wailing anil yelling are familiar sounds
to nil who pass over lhe pltilns. The
young are brought forth In holes hi cut
hanks or similar localities,
Within'm.v own exporloneo I have
known of tho Oudlng of bill two families. In one there was but a single
family of live cubs and one old animal,
undoubtedly tbo moUieri In tho oilier
case there were toll or eleven cubs and
two old females which bad apparently
shared tho burrow or cave, though living in separate pockets. In neither
case was any lull grown male coyote
found In the neighborhood, As regards
these particular litters, the father
loomlngly hnd nothing to do with Inking care of or support ins the family,
1 am not able to sny whether Ibis was
accidental or whether ll is a rule that
only the mother lives With and lakes
enro of the litter, 1 hnvo beard contrary staleini'iiis about Iho mallei-from
hunters who should know. Unfortunately I havo learned from long experience that ll Is only exceptional humors
who can be trusted to give accurate

After dinner tlie woman called on
two friends. They were u married couple. They hnd uot been married so
very long,
The wife, who was suffering from a
slight cold, Iny on tho couch among tin
pillows. She had ou a red kimono. She
was very pretty, with the red to match
in hor cheeks. In her hands was a
hook. It happened to be of the same
color ns her kimono, which was also
pretty. Attached to her hook win a
tiny little electric light, wilh a ahndc.
The battery lay by her side.
The husband reseated himself nt Iho
center table. By his side was un open
hook with a paper knife keeping tho
place for him. It was under the roud-
lug lamp.
"Uow long have you been married
now?" asked Uio woman as sho took
her seat lu n big itrinchulr.
"About six months," snld they simultaneously.
Tho woman, who hud Just come from
a gay dinner party whore she hud

friends, glanced quickly from ono to

I used to be married, 1 read then, and

"I do lhat now," smiled the wife.

"And now?" saltl they.
The woman smiled serenely nt lliem
from the recess of her big armchair,
".Now," said she, "I never read a single book Hint's on the market. I don't
know what's como out, nnd 1 don't

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
First Muse l„ This Direction Unite In
.Skill,,r.I In 1701.
The lirst recoiflod public meet ins iu
the Interest of "woman's rights" was
held In the town of Modford in 1701.
The gallery of tho church was occupied
by tho young unmarried people of lhe
congregation, one side and one-half the
front gallery being glvou to the young
men, the other side it nd the other half
being given lo the yoiiug women. Out
iu the sealing In ihe oveutful year the
young men were glvou ibe entire front
of the nailer} a* well, uud lhe young
women were allowed only OUO Side of
the gallery.
Then il was lltat UllUgS began I" happen. Treatment like this wasn't to ho
tolerated, even fur a moment. The
blood of the future mothers of tho
llevolutlon was fully aroused, and Iho
young women tnndo Buch an uproar
and commotion Hint it speedily became
a town mailer, and a town meeting
was called to restore lo them their
rights iu half of iho froul gollory,
Tbo young men of iho day were bitterly opposed in extending any uew
privileges M women, and lhe light ex-
tended beyond Modford, Shortly aflor
Hie Introduction of pews Into Hie
churches, by which families were Bop-
orated from the remainder of thc con-
grogaliou, tin' Bclecttucii of llio town of
Newbury gave permlsslou lo a group
of young women to Intilil 0 pew lu the
gallery of tho church upon ibolr own
side of tho hoii*e. This extension of
privilege was resented by tbo young
bachelors to such u degree that tbey
broke u window of tbc church, forced
au entrance nnd backed the pew in
pieces. For this act of sacrllcga die
young men of Newbury were lined ?10
each and sentenced to bo whipped or
pilloried, Hut Ihey were manly enough
to confess their folly and ask pardon,
so this part uf Ihelr punishment was
omltlcd. So you see the "woman's
rights" movement Isn't a modern one.

The Prnellcot Joker,

looking nt as n curiosity, as n study 111

Joker Is lhe offspring of aslnlulty run

Thoro was a slight surplus, u mere
fraction, not enough to make a complete man, so tbo scraps were scraped

Iilil ynu ever notice while enjoying
your favorite cigar Hint tho smoke that
curls up from tha burning end of Uie
"weed" Is blue, while that exhuled
from lhe mouth Is of a whitish gray?
'lhe explanation of this oddity Is not
fur to seek. Tlie wreath from tbe fiery
end of thc cigar Is In the shape of In-
flnltcslmal dust particles, and ull such
particles (even llie blue nf the atmosphere Is explained in the same way) relied Ihe blue color. In the case of the
exhaled smoke Ibe line panicles have
milted wlih the moisture of tho breath

case, they have become large enough
to reflect tho white light, which give*
Iln- exhaled smoke un entirely different
color.

"Tho look of a little child Is some-

who had risen high on the ladder of
success, "I remember that the greatest lesson I have ever learned In my
life was pointed out to me hy my
daughter, who was only live years old
ut that time. That was fifteen years
ngo, when I hud Just iittnlned some
measure of distinction in the business
world, und I fell Hint I could afford to
rest on my oars awhile. I had never
been n drinking mnn, but frequent conferences nt hotel lobbies und nfler
theater talks with my associates begun
to tell on me and I am ashamed to
confess that I camo home many a
night slightly Hie worse for wear nnd

on me, In spite of tearful entreaties
from my wife, until I took n bottle of
whisky  homo  ono  afternoon.   After
dinner i made for that bottle, which
I bud left in my study, poured out u
glass nnd raised it to my lips, when I
caught a reflection In the polished
woodwork of the wall, I turned quickly, aud there was my little daughter
Btnudlng lu Ihe doorway looking at
me. I could never describe Hie expression on her face. If one might say
It of a child, It was a commingling of
reproach, pity nnd disgust. Probably

Sunlight Soap is better than other soapi,
but is best when used in the Sunlight way.
To appreciate the simplicity and ease of
washing with Sunlight Soap in the Sunlight
way you should follow directions.
After rubbing on the soap, roll up each
piece, immerse in the water, and go away.
Sunlight Soap
will do its work in thirty to sixty minutes.
Your clothes will be cleaner and whiter than if washed
in the old-fashioned way with boiler and hard rubbing.
Equally good with hard or soft water.

but antler the prevailing system it
is hardly possible to change the
present slate of aliairs. The pub-

of school hooks by the government—for why we dont know.
The result is that parents and
guardians have to pay about two
prices for them ami the publishers
are enriched by the privilege.
