Mayor Kea'y read a letter Irom the provincial secretary, with reference to the petition lor a laud registry office in this city. The matter had been carefully considered hy the apartment of the at turnev general, and it had been decided that as the expense in connection with opening such an ollice is very great, and the citizens of this city are in such close proximity In Lie land registry office at Vancouver ; the circumstances would nol justify the expenditure at present. A copy of this letter was ordered forwatded to the district council. An application for a gas franchise for this city was received from W. Thomas, of Vancouver. In support of his application, Mr. Thomas stated that he is prepared to proceed at once with organization and construction, aa he has the necessary capital available, and is only waiting for the franchise.

Change in Managership W. B. Bunbury, who recently resigned his position aa local manager of the B. C. Electric Railway Co., handed over the office on Tuesday to his mcceisor, Albert G. Parry. Mr. Bunbury entered the service of the company as motorman, in the year 190a, and because of his efficient services experienced rapid promotion,being appointed cashier at the Westminster avenue office; then assistant traffic manager, and later manager at North Vancouver, upon the installation of the system here. Assistant manager,F.R. Glover, interviewed at the head offices of the company, freely expressed the company's sincere regret at tbe severance of Mr. Bunbury'i con nection. The latter had nandled the railway and commercial business in this city to the entire satia- faction of the company. His personal qualities render him worthy any position of trust which the company might have to bestow. The company realizes that its own interests and the interests of the public are mutual, and Mr. Bunbury had at all times made every endeavor to conserve the interests of both. When Mr. Bunbury de cided to retire from the managership in North Vancouver.the company would have been pleased to <>ff' r him a position iu another brunch of the service, but his resignation had made this impracticable. It was still hoped that at some luture time tbe company might be able to offer Mr. Bunbury such inducements as will again secure to them his valued services. Mr.Bunbury has connected himself with the North Vancouver Motor Transportation Co.,and intends making his home in this city. In appointing Albert G. Parry to the position of local manager, the company has given well deserved promotion to one who has always proven himself a capable and efficient official in other capacities. Mr. Parry came from London, to Canada, twenty years ago, ten of which was spent in Manitoba, chiefly in Winnipeg, and ten in Vancouver. He has always been prominent in labor circles, having been for two terms secretary oi the trades and labor council; three times labor candidate (or alder- manic honors in Vancouver; and twice, in 1903 and 1907, labor candidate for the local legislature. He entered tbe service oi the B. C. Electric Railway Co. nine and one half years ago, aa niotorman, and a year and a half ago was promoted to the managership of the company's stores on Westminster avenue. The present promotion came to him as an unsought expression of the confidence which his employers repose in him. Assistant Manager Glover commends Mr. Parry as one of the oldest employees al present in the service. He at all times proved himself an able and efficient operative on the cars, and on several occasions did excellent work as assistant traffic superintendent,previous to his appointment at the stores. In all -jositions he has filled, his work has proven so thoroughly satisfactory thit when the vacancy occurred in the local managership, the company availed itself of the opportunity to express their appreciation of Mr. Parry's worth. He has risen from the ranks by dint of ability and close attention to duty, and is considered one of the most promising men on the staff. His personal qualities arc peculiarly fitting ior the post to which he has been appointed. The company has every confidence that as local manager, Mr. Parry will prove acceptable alike to themselves and to the public, to the benefit of mutual interesti. District Council The regular seision of the district council was held on Thursday, instead of on Friday evening. There were present Councillors McNaught, Nye, Davidson and Robson. ln the absence of Reeve May, at the meeting of the city council, Councillor Robson was appointed chairman. Reeve May, arriving later, presided during the latter part of tbe session. A letter was read Irom J. R. J. Murray, secretary of the board of trade, suggesting that the board has on hand a quantity of Year Books, which they wonld be pleased to deliver to the committee lor distribution at thc Alaska-Yukon- Pacific exposition. Another letter Irom Mr. Murray, requesting the council to appoint two members on the delegation, to proceed to Victoria, to present the petition to the government for a subsidy for a traffic bridge at and Narrows. Councillors Kobson and McNaught were appointed. A letter was received from the lecretary of the union oi B.C. mu nicipalities, requesting the district council to appoint delegates to attend the convention of the union to be held at Vernon, on January 6th next. The reeve and Councillor McNaught were appointed. Tbe deputy commissioner of lands and works advised the council that the purchase price oi district lots 1363 and 1413,group one, New Westminster district, would be accepted by the department, provided the consent could be obtained of the owners oi timber license 35935, covering D.L. 1363, In this connection a letter was read from the Hastings shingle manufacturing company, giving consent to the purchase, but reserving the right to take off the timber over the property. City Clerk Shepherd wrote, advising the council that the city council is prepared to co-operate in the matter of an exhibit at tbe Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. Geo. Wagg submitted an offer in writing, to give the necessary land for the widening of the street along the north boundary of D.L. 801, and also for extending Chesterfield and Durham avenues through D.L. 801.

New Ferry Service A very important deuclopment in ferry matters took place this week, in the putting on of a motor ferry service, for passengers only, by the North Vancouver Motor Boat Transportation Company, ol which Messrs. W. B. Bunbury and W. H. Braim are the controllers. According to the promoters, the initial purpose in inaugurating this service was to fill in the gap left by the reduction of the permanent ferry service to an hourly one,both the city council and large numbers ol residents having repeatedly declared that an hourly service was not adequate to the needs of this side of thc Inlet. The patronage extended since the service started, on Tuesday morning, is declared by the owners to be very gratifying. • To the present time an average of 350 paid fares have been carried per day and about 100 monthly tickets bave been sold. The total earnings the pasttwodays were $148.05. The flotilla comprises two large gasoline boats, one of which will be replaced, within a few days, by the K'ii.a 111,1. a large double decked gasoline boat owned by Messrs. Simpson Bros., of English Bay, and said to be the largest and fast est boat of ber type in B.C. waters. In discussing the schedule, the management emphasizes the fact that they wish to operate the service with a view solely to public convenience. In carrying out this desire they have put on a boat from North Vancouver at 7.40 I.m., for the accommodation of high school students, and a late boat from Vancouver at 11.40 p.m. for theatre goers and late callers. They have likewise inaugurated 1 straight five cent fare both ways, in the interest of the travelling public. The new slip just west of the Lonsdale avenue wharf ..us used for the first on Thursday and for the present Vancouver terminus will be located at Cook's slip. The schedule calls for half hourly service up to 8. to p.m., and an hourly service from that till 11.40 p.m. Ferry Developments A preliminary meeting was held last evening, to discuss the formation of a new ferry company, to be owned and operated on this side of the Inlet. The meeting com prised about ten prominent citizens and considerable progress was mide. It was decided to proceed at once with tbe incorporation of a company, to be capitalized for about $75,000, in shares of $10 each. 'I he scheme is yet in its formative -.tages, but the promoters state that the probability is that three fits! class, Urge gasoline launches, capable of carry ing about 135 passengers each, will be built and be placed upon the run at the earliest possible date. These launches will he of the most modern type, with attractive appointments in all respects. The engines will be so located that the passengers will not be brought in contact with them in any way, and there will be no odor of burning gasoline. They will make the trip across the Inlet in about ten minutes and will at first sustain a twenty-minute service. Three boats were considered sufficient for the present, but as traffic increases, units in the form of additional boats,will be increased, and the boats will likewise be built on a larger scale, while the service will be increased to a fifteen minute one. The originators of the scheme propose to confine the business to passengers only for a time, but attention will be given freight traffic at a later stage. The shares will be placed at ten dollars each, in order to place them within the reach of all, and the promoters confideutally expect that residents on the north side of the Inlet and all non-resident property owners may be induced to purchase shares in thc company. A committee was appointed to proceed at once with the arrangements ol details and the securing of the charter for the company. LOCAL NEWS Local Pythian Doing?

Resiliences on this Boulevard will have a situation of coveted distinction. Prict» ond full Porticular» con be hod from Mahon, McEarland & Mahon Cor. Seymour if Pender St*., Vancouver (to THE EXPRESS, NORTH VANCOUVER, B. C The masterful summing up of the many and diversified elements, whose combined significance assures to the centre of population growing up on the shores of Burrard Inlet a future of unparalleled possibilities, which was delivered by Elliot S. Rowe, manager of the Vancouver tourist and information bureau, before the board of trade onl uesday evening, constituted an address ol highest excellence, ind was listened to with rapt in teres! by the audience. "We (the retidents ou Hurrard Inlet) ire engaged in two parts ol the tame great civic undertaking," declared the speaker, "one of the gteatett, I believe,as to ils results, ev.r essayed by Canadian people, lor when that portion of the task allotted to this generation is completed, there will be on the shores of Burrard Inlet the most prospet- ous and progressive Hritish community on the Pacific ocean." The statement of Lord Grey, to the effect that ou this harbor is to be located the first and most important port in all the world, was declared to be quite justified, when all the advantages and possibilities of the situation were considered. Thc advaulagas possessed by Burrard In., t, when carefully enumerated, tally to a remarkable degree wilh those elements which are ne- cesiary io the making, of one of the world's greatest seaports. The Boat notable of these advantages is probably lhe fact that this harbor is, geographically, the nearest possible harbor to thr greatest wheat belt in all the world. Burrard Iulet was shown to be no aides nearer Edmonton than is Prince Kupert, aud when the C.P. R. builds through the Yellowhead pisi and down the Thompson river, that distance will be lessened by about forty miles, with an easy grade, which, after reaching 4000 feet, gives a long gravitation to the Inlet. The exaad figures are ai follow* Prom Edmonton to Prince Rupert, 954 miles; Irom Edmonton to Vancouver via Calgary, 834 miles: from Edmonton to Vancouver, via Yellowhead pass. 730 miles. This advantage is momentous, not only because of trade with the Ot- ient, but also in view 0,' access 10 old world ports through the Panama canal. It may be accepted as certiin that the G.T.P. will seek connection with this harbor at the earliest opportunity lt is characteristic of ttansinull.icni.ils that Ihey seek several ocean terminals, so as to touch as many points as possible. This has been conspicuously true with respect to the roads to the south, and it will likewise hold good with regard to northern lines. Fort George is 30 miles nearer Prince Rupert than Vancouver, a very insignificant item, while the country from the Inlet to Fort George possesses very extensive areible areas, not to mention iti wealth in mineral, timber, etc. The trend of (hit immeme tnffic, which must develop, will be this way, because here ire the centres of population. Here will be the natural city for those who live between this and Fort George. The building of the British Columbia section of the C.N.Railway ii likewise 1 probability of the near future. He would not be surprised to see construction begun within two yesrt. Thii line will divide the distance between the C.P. R. and G.T.P. lines, and will therefore all the more surely develop a country tribituary to Burrard Inlet. There will be a natural focus to thii port of the entire development thit miy transpire in the northern country weit of Ihe Rocky mountains. Further, our relations to the southern interior of the province is capable of being made equally satisfactory. Immediate and penis- tent steps ihould be taken to secure a ihare of the trade of the Okanagan,Similkameen,and Kootenay valleys. The distance from Vincouver to Princeton by the ihorteit feasible route isi 58 milei, but at present one must travel a circuitous route of 700 miles to reach that point. The public have been tubjected to insincere treatment with regard to communication with this fertile country, but it is reasonable to expect thit within a short term of years direct commit* nication will be established. When the All Red Route materi alizes, this will be their Pacific port, in which case, practically 1 of the Oriental traffic will find its most commodious and convenient port on Burrard Inlet. Because of our proximity to extensive deposit! of raw material, our unexcelled shipping facilities, our incalculable adjacent water- power, our proximity to the teeming population that will find homes in the North West provinces, the prospects of building up a great manufacturing centre amount to a practical certainty. The development of our agricultural resources will be imperative to lessen the cost of the necessities, in order that the wage scale may be such as to enable our manufacturers to compete with eastern concerns. Our position is such, declared the speaker, that it must levy toll on aii the prosperity of our common country. The concluding portion of the address made relerence to the de- siribility of paying special attention to t'.iutiht travel,to advertising extentively and wisely, and to the advisibility of taking energetic and liberal measures to reap the larg est possible benefit from the ap* proiching Alaska-Yukon exposi tion at Seattle. Board id Trade The regular meeting ol the board of trade was held 011 Tuesday evening. President D G. Dick presided. The president reported that there were 1200 signatures at present 011 the petition to the provincial government for a subsidy (01 a traffic bridge at the Second Narrows.and that signatures were being received very freely. It was the intention to presenl this petition 10 the government through a delegation about the middle of December, in order that an appropriation for thc purpose roght be included in the first estimates. The transportation committee reported hiving looked into the matter of tram fares, by comparing rates with similar localities on the other side of lhe Inlet with the result that they were of opinion thit present rales are excessive. On motion of T. Nye, it wis resolved lhat the B.C. Electric Railway Compiny be requested to issue white tickets in thii city, ind to gnnt transfers from North Vincouver on one line in Vincouver ind vice versa. Ferry matters were briefly discussed, and it was resolved that, in the opinion of this board, the time is opportune for the city council to take over the Lonsdale ivenue fern whirl from the N.V. Ferry Power Company, Limited, under their igreement, ind to put it into proper condition for a public whirl, ind to make it available, under suitable regulations for the use of ill comers, including ferry bolts. Presentation W. B. Bunbury wis the recipient of 1 very ippropriite expression of the universal esteem in which he is held by the local employees of the B.C. Electric Railway,when on Monday, they assembled it the office on Lonsdale ivenue and presented him with an address, accompanied byi leather valise, snd 1 bather collar box. Mr. Bunburv made an ippropriale reply, expres- sitig his high ipprecntion of the esteem of the men. The address was read by A. N. luiiiii and was ai follows: "Deir Mr. Bunbury: During the years of our mociition ai manager and employeesof the BC, Electric Ry., ltd., North Vancover, B.C. our re- lationi hive been most pleaiant, ind we greatly appreciate the courtesy you have always extended to ui.

Several propositions to grounds were discussed, notablv the horticultural grounds; a portion of the B.C. Electric Railway Company's park adjacent to the athletic grounds, md 1 location on 10th street, eist o( Lonsdale. It was estimated that about {500 will be required to clear the ground and to construct a proper bowling green ind tennis court. The initiil membership fee was not fixed, but it was intimited that it would pro- bibly be five dollars, after which a nominal monthly lee will be charg- ed. The committee will cmvass for members and look into the sev- eril propositions is to grounds,ind report at a meeting to be announced liter. It wis thought that the city would this vear be entitled to six school trustees instead of three.but upon making the statutory computation it was found that the attendance fell short ol the required total by one-filth of one per cent. Consequently there is but one trustee to be elected at the approaching civic elections. S. W. Thacker and C. C. Thornton returned early this week Irom Tacoma, where they celebrated thanksgiving with friends.

Sbupe, of Vancouver, located a group ol live claims on Seymour creek. Thc location ol the claims is on the west side oi the creek, just three miles from the end of the Vancou ver waterworks wagon road. The discovery was made on the huge red colored bluff that overlooks the creek, lhe color being the oxidisation of the mineral beneath. Tbe discovery, though having the walls of a well-defined ledge, is so extensive as to amount practically to a mountain of ore. The capping is of iron, being very similar to that of the Kossland camp. The ore is a regular pyrrhotite, carrying copper pyrites right to the surface. Assays from the surface give 1'; per cent copper, with traces of gold and silver. Several shots have been put into tbe surface and where this has been done, iniicli better ore has been exposed. Beneath the capping, the presence of copper is much more pronounced, the assays showing 3 per cent copper, and pay values in gold an,' silver. Location was made under difti culties, as the bill slopes away at an almost bo percent grade. Fivt claims were located, tbe grou] bring known as the Canadian Cou soliilaled, the locations being named 1, 2. 3, 4 and 5. The old Lil looet trail runs below the location about a mile distant, a connecting trail having been made from this to the group. The property will be easiiv worked, as the slope will give easv access by means ol tun nels. Then* is an unlimited de posit of the ore in sight and every where tested it proves to be sell- fluxing. Discovery had hardly been made before the lucky owners had been offereJ a high figure for the group, under tbe terms uf a working bond, but this was declined. However, the owners stated this week that they are now negotiating a deal, whereby a substantial sum of money will be paid down,and a system of development carried on on an extensive scale. Since the discovery of tbe Canadian Consolidated, other parties bave located extensions, one of tbe claims being known as Old Inland and another Star of Hope. Hoth of these hive fine showings ol ore. The sites ol these discoveries can be 'reached in a return journey from North Y.n iverol less than six hours. the momei.t was uot considered opportune for such negotiations. The present debt of the city is 1327,000, and the statutory loaning power is $000,000. The committee had decided to recommend that the city and the district purchase the ferry by forming a new company, and investing J35,ooo each, but in view of recent developments, it was considered unwise that the city should take the initiative, because it was thought probable that it would not be long under present conditions until tbe ferry company would approach the city council, with a view to selling, in which case a much better purchase could be made. The opinion was expressed that the association should pass a vote of thanks to Messrs. lltinbiiry and Brain for putting on a second ferry service and that the citizens should all support them in their venture. Mr. Ilunbiiry considered competition the proper treatment o( the ferry problem, and if it develops that neither company can handle it satisfactorily, then another company should be interest- d which could. Nominations for civic offices were called for and resulted as fol- ows: For mayor, \V. H. May; for alderman, I). \V. Young, K. C Uliss, W. A. Gibson, Alexander Philip, William McNeish, 1*. W. Fowler, W. C. Gladwin, W. D. Reeves, S. D. Schultz,C, P. Jackson, Aldermen F. Wheeler, W. H. Hraim, and A. K. Crickmay; lor school trustee, H. E. Reid and W. P. Peacey. The secretary will forward copies of the resolutions to the respective nominees, and notify them that each will be given five minutes on Tuesday evening next in which to address the association, previous to final selection. Upon motion of Alexander Philip, it was resolved that no nominee be put lorward as a candidate who has not received a majority of tbe total vote of the Association, and that the method of ballot be referred to the executive. On motion of P. Rochussen, it was resolved that as far as possible all public works be carried out by day labor, lhat employment be given thereon as far as possible to residents of the citv, and that no Orientals b" employed upon llie same on any condition, either directly or indirectly.
