Initially, the mooting psmiod a roaolu-
tion to tbo following effect: "That,
having heard that there ia an application to bo prcaciilcd to the federal parliament tbia month by the C. P. B.
Company for a railway .'barter through

and Ibat a copy of thia resolution lie

Tbe chairman, Mr. .1. Neat (and an
si,'iiKiinii ia due lo bim on bia t'ui
iii, in ni of a .ii ii„ nli QlBoo) called prim
iirilv on Ibo reove, who gavo a reaume
nf municipal activitieti during Ibe paal
year. Tbo reovo, however, reserved hia
onergies lor a apeerb of candidature
which wae appointd for a Into hour. Ho
touched upou the harbor poialbilitiet
at which Mr. Stum bad recently been
clearly "aaloniahed." "Tlioro ia nothing," laid tbo rcevo, "to prevent
North Vancouver being aa big a bar
bor aa Vancouver. The only thing wo
lack ia juat that bridge acroaa tbe
Narrows." He devoted a little time
to the f|uoetton of roads. "A man in
tho Statea," aaid be, "declares tbat
,the aalvatien of any country ia a good
wtgon road lo every man'a houae."
It had heeu the council'a ambition to
make (or tho altaiiimout „i thai end
as much aa poseiblc. Mr. McNaught,
doubtleaa, remembering the nature of
certain portions of the weekly corrci
pondence, added rather bitterly "but
ita a mighty bard undertaking le aat-
ia(y'every individual." The reeve continued in a prophotic vein. He thought
that neit yoar tbat tbcie u„,l.| be a
lidowaik lo every rcaidcut's door in Ibe
municipality. Thoy had, lie reminded

tha "huh of tbe municipality," he
announced in a "what-do j*ou think of

of rotd bad boen opened up during
fft'o year, while a Ijtlle over 7 tnllca of
sidewalks bad been laid. Tbere had
been 110 water con'nectiona made, while
nearly IS miles of piping had been in

£oun. Lawaon urged the wlidora o( so

At this point Ibe chairman anneunr-
ti-ebU intimation bad juat come to
hand lhat Mr. Findliy bad been re
turned ■»! mayor tf Vancouver. There
waa • loud burst of applauae and no
dissentient voice harsh enough to pens

atudicd by Coun. Bridgman, reported

Which to invest' bis energy. He hid.
alao taken a hind in queetioni which
btd betn bsquettbed by the previous
council tpd which required caroful ail
juatment.
Ooun. Loutet evoked applauae by an
explanation of bia work in connection
witb Ibe hospital, tn institution which
under city and municipal control,
ibould be treated more squarely than
in tbo paat.
The chairman tbeit intimated tbtt
aapiriug candldatee ("perapiriug"
perhaps be a more apt term, acoing that
tbe coupcjl chamber waa now deplorably hot) would be given tn opportunity to tddroaa tbe eleclori.
Beovo McNaught wai lengthy and
emphatic. He Drat uf all tickled the
quoalion of "hot lir." Thoae who

reeve wheu he rolttod bow be bid

Leaving "hot air" for tba moment,
be harked hack to tbo North Arm

of North Vaneouver. The solicitors
who advocated that company were

a final enunciation of hii disinterest

"Mr. May," laid tbo chairman
Beove McNaught'i opponent com
menctd, like the forme r ipetker on
tho ilii'ine of "hot tir" (Coun Allu
incidenttlly rendered public aervlco by

Mr. Mty, tfter touching upon tbe

accusation which had been levelled
against him te tbe effect tbtt, if elected ,he would particularly favor Capilauo interests. "Bccordi will prove,"
ht itld, "that I have nevor favored

Reeve McNtugbl for tho coiiaiimmatliin
pf tbtt work. Put the ratepayers, be
contended, required a distinct ropreeen-
tativo to look after tbe expenditure
of tbllr money, lir. May's spuuch
was loudly applauded.
Hpeco doos not permit justice to he
dene to tbe speeches which followed.
Ooun, Jlriilguian, wbo ia seeking  re
election, ptid t glowing tribute to tbo
clerical staff ind expressed himself in
favor of n readjustment of their sal
aries. Continuing Coun. Brii|ginin al
luded to t letter which wis being cir-
culaled signed by Mr. ii. A. Barrett,
enticing votei for the reeve 'f tbe fu
ther of tbe bridge," and Mr. Mi-Ken
til, Mr- Gibson tnd Mr. Allan, his
supporters. At the invitation of Couu.
Bridgman, both the reovo and Coun.
Allan emphatically denied having anything to do with tho circulation of tho
latter. Coun. Bridgman ,having outlined a program of hopes ami opinions
which were ovidently satis(actory to
the audience ,plcaden earnestly witb
bis friends and supporters not to allow
tbe rumor that it wai to bo tu "easy
tbing" for him to Aiako I hem callous
about registering thoir votes. He
needed ail the votea ho could got.
Coun. Allan made a convincing ami
Allanlstic ipeocb, alao denouncing any
aiBociatlon witb circulated letters.
Among otbor things, he favored lhe
workmen of tho tnunici|ia)ily boing
paisl at tbo same rate as all the ad
joining municipalities. He wus warm
ly applauded, 'particularly on account
of his prompt and characteristic uu
awcra to questions from Ihe auditor
ium'.
Ilis opponent, Mr. Weslovcr, look n.
tho keynoto of hia speech, the "Craw-
f„id Allan combination" which Ito as
lurned, bad been formed, since a letter
eulogizing Mr. Allan in superlative
terms had emanated from the pen of
Mr. I P. Crawford. Mr. Weslovcr
read the letter tt length liul crilicl"
ed it in del tils . Subsequently, he ur
guod bo bid ia good i right lo repre
aonl wtrd four is Coun. Allan, ind, if
elected, promised to serve tbe foremost

Coun. Loutet sought reelection in
t fow terse sentences. "Hard work,
little talk tnd get after il" had lieen.
tnd would continue to lie his motto. He
ll iccorded the loudest applause of lhe
eveuing. "
Mr. Aleunder Pbilip came before

Mr. Qeo. Wtgg' offered his business

A meeting of the tbove association
was held on Wodnenluy night at tbo
school. Tlie. aposkcrs wore Mr. Wagg,
Mr. Loutot, Mr. May and Mr. Philip.
Tho flrat  speaker,  Mr.  Wagg,  cri-
also a real estate scheme uud slopped
al Iho street Mr. Louiul lived on. lit
a.is is, ais',i lhe widening nf the 1 Tnpilont)
road und said be could in line inonlh
got the necessary signatures for a lo
cal impruvemenl on thai road.        *~
Couu. Loutot in reply staled tint! lie
had a 24 fl. road like many others
and on that roud there were houses
tn tho value of (20,000. . Ho had no
sidewalk but hoped to get ono. The
ini, iin of the drainage question
showed a lack of knowledge on the
part of the previous speaker. He bad
no property on St. Jamea. The widening of Lonsdale was recommended by
Iho N. L. Aasociation months before
he bought his property. He dealt al
length on the work of the past year
ami tbo requirements of the futjtre
mid emphasized his knowledge of ward
.1 and the improvements required both
at Norlli Lonsdale and Cupiltqq. lie
urged Iho necessity of going ahead
with the financial arrangements for the
bridge.
Mr. Philip promliod careful alien
lion to lhe needs of ward 3 and Ihen
went on to a lengthy defence of Mr.
McNaught. He urged the eleilors lo
support the present reeve. He contended thul the-linperial Car Co. guuruutce
of bonds would have been good (or
the district though be himself would
not lake slock iu lhe company is it
wes over ■ capitalized. He though!
that the fuel thul lhe shares mild (or
|6U und were now offering ul til bad
nothing to do wilh lbc gunruntec mat
ler. He gave full detailed information
in regurd lo lhe bridge and on beiug
questioned by Mr. Loutet suid that he
had received lhe information as a
friend of lhe reeve's uud supposed lhal
the reason he knew more (lion iDt
euaucil was because that the reove
im led bim.
Mr. May, in a brief speech, reiterated tbe fact that the reeve hud not
dealt wilb Ibe governmeut diplomatic
ally uud had latterly hindered the
bridge more than helped it. He would
work wilb bis couucil, uot against
them and try to j>ring harmony into
Ihe couucil end lhe staff and workmen
and push on the Second Narrows bridge
wilb lhe assistance of bis council.
He was ugainst tbo guarantee of
bonds of the ear company as pay man
with the inieresl of Ibe district at
hcurl  ought  to be.
He did not sec why tbo reeve could
not work for lhe interests of the bridge
as t director and let the district have
another director iu tbe person of bim
sel( ai reeve. Tbere wai much ap
Pluiise as he resumed bis sett.

THE PATERNOSTER RUBY, Cont.
Sthe fourth nigbt after ha rati tlia cut (((by from the Onleb,

and tbe gem stolon (rom his apart-
mente In Rattfln 0m\tnp.

easy to Identify; nnt alum: py moans

Preserved description, but Us entra-

to say nothing of Its value—wore mil
likely lo pa fprgotton by experts wbo
bid seen ppA handled It.
And so, wben H appeared In Paris a
few nifiuthi! litter, lYiiici'iHiiiirii'ii heirs
and successors In.the gem-importing
liiiiiini'iiis .vers promptly on hand to
niii I n i their 111.11H-I I?; an enterprise In
■•■liii-ii tbey succeeded after the de-
iarmlnatlon of some legal complications; and the Pa-eraostrqs started
wltb the ruby on the roturn to London.        ,
Incidentally, Ibo assassin and thief
—an Ofluntal of undetermined nationality—was alao apprcheutlod and, Ihe
red-tape ol extradition having  beon
}intvuly untangled, convoyed To Hng-
and and duly hanged.
Ill-luck, however, followed the ruby.
On the boat over from Calala to Hover a confidential employe of lhe gem
iii.'i'cliiiiiii. who had accompanied
tbem to Paris, wbb lost overboard
while the v-f.mtl ss un entering the homo
port. Although this man was known
in be an expert awlmmor—nolwllh-
standlng the attempts at rescue, tho
proximity ol lund and tho numerous
craft of all sorts lu the vicinity—a
strango fatality seems lo havo carried him straight lo the bottom. After
tbe man vanished beneath tho waves,
bo sign of him waa seen again.
In Iho following.year no loss lhan
four attempts were made to steal lhe
stone from the I'atoriiostros; but as
they had learned caution from their
unforiiiiiaie predecessor's death—to
the extent, at least, of keeping auch
treasure In bunk- -these attempts wero
abortive.
Later soveral tentative overture! on
Uie part of- one ol Europe's richest
monarchs toward Ihe purchase of tho
Paternoster ruby camo to naughi; lhe
price set upon It by tho Paternostrtis
was prohibitive; aud gradually It
came to be forgotton by the public, un
Ul tbo year '84, when Interest con
earning It was again revived, Ibis time
to fever heal.
And now wo have Alfred b'luelle and
Felix Page Page arrayed ugainst each
other onco more. Everybody, of
oourso, still remembers Ibo sudden
rivalry between tbeso two American
oltlxens, which sprang up In June of
tbat year, lor the gom's possession.
tbe complexity of causes wbleh simultaneously inspired tbem with au In
ordinate desire for tho Paternoster
ruby—a desire which seomlngly could
ba appeaaod only .by possession, regardless of cost -waa much of a mys
ui). and afforded tba energetic cor-
raspoudenta a fruitful text for many
a day. Both, as Is well known, had
unlimited meass wltb which to Indulge
their sudden whim; wbero kings and
princes resigned themselves lo lhe
melancholy fad lhal the gem was nol

may easily Imagine the sleepless anxiety of the rat.-riioairoa, as Ural one

prodigality.
Only-and this lhe mystifying feature of the . plsodc -Felix Page could

Wby did Falls Page want the Paler.

tn surmise a tenable theory. His par
simony wu notorious; be wsb a bach
elacwJlbiut kith or kin, and had never
behirf been known lo evince the
slightest Inlerest In precious stones.
On the olher hand, Mr. Kluetle was
not only a collector of goms, but his
collodion wu and Bill' la ouo of the

Page wu willing lo sacrifice a fortune
merely to lit wart a rival's ambition;
porhaps he waa only satisfying Somo
old grudge about which the world
knew nothing It was all speculation,
end speculation of a most unsatisfying
sort, too. He got tbe stone, at any
rate; and bore we bava anothor Instance of tbo man's peculiar disposition.
Whatever be did wltb tbo ruby nobody knew. Tbare wor* many con
nolsseurs aod Jewellers on tbis side
of tba water who wero naturally curl

Sueb, briefly, ware tbe data I had
neatly puled In my acrapbook and
which men.ory bad been all tbe moru
Ing trying Id recall.
1 paused In my promenade to sur
ver Burke: wbat new adjuaim. ni mast
be made of ibe bare facta so gathered;
wbat now, In view of this new clement lo|cclcd lotfl tbe cue, wu tho
aliunde of tbis strange being toward
It—my regard shifted to Maillot- and
btlf
Juet at tbis Juncture my cogitations
were broken In upon by tbe door being unceremoniously thrown' open,
fllodger, much excited, darted In,
closing ibe door alter bim. He baud
ed ma ao envelope, accompanying It
wilh a lorir at .iwwaiaw) eagerness
wbicb suggested certain details per
Uneot to tne missive whioh were being resorved wilh difficulty—(or my
private bearing.
"Mote for Maillot," aooouoced be,

f oung man.
Maillot, apparently dumfoundod,'
rom slowly to bla feat.
"A nota-for mel" be faltered.
Tben quietly: 'We tt to na, Swift/1
Oar glanoes m-tfn, stayed,   I

iiiknlily In meat distress of mind, and
Ufa espi'iuiHlon wub lliul ol a inun des-
IiitiiI.s liiil iletiii-inlucil. Only tor a
moment I hefilttiled; then without
raising my band, 1 slid tbo envelope
across tbp tablo to bin).
-'It's u question of confidence, Mr.
Maillot,- Balf) I, calmly, endeavoring
to convey my ciii'iiosIuubs in the look
Which bad not for an Instant swayed
from his. "1 reserve fbe right, ahould
tbe sic union mini', tu read It; under
slapd?"
With a curt nod nf acquiescence, he
Biiiiiiilied It up frpm tbe table. A
glimpse of the handwriting brought a
flush to hln face and p glad aparkle
lu bla eyas; but tbe missive troubled
bim It was short, but as be slowly
returned It lo Iti envelope bla band
shook and his countenance grew more
and moro harrused and perplexed.
I glanced at Burke's pallid featurea
and found thorn as Impassive as any
Inilliin'ii. -It was Impoealble to determine whether be wu watching me or
Maillot.   -
Evidently nssumiug tba Incident to
bo closed, Stodger saw bis opportunity
to speak oguln.
"i.iiupi, out here that brought It,"
eald ho; "coachman, be looks Ilka;
waiting for an answer." Then ba
turned to t.ic, continuing;
"Four reporters out there, too; wbat
shall I do with 'em?"
Maillot suddenly startled us by smiting tho table violently with his fist.
Ho was while, trembling, and appre-
benslvo; but his determination wu by
no means broken.
Ti'. in." Bald he, In a bushed, strained voice, "hiep iiiiiii.) with me; let me
bave a word wltb you."
He sclzod my arm, and fairly dragged me off toward tbo curtained alcove.
"Swift," ho whispered, not releulng
his grip qo my arm, "I'm In a devil of
a position. For Heaven's sake, show
some sign of bumauilyl That note
waa from a young lady—*'
"I surmised as much."
"Hung It, man! Don't luughl I'm
moro dead In earnest than' I ever v.iw
before lu my life.   This means more
10 mo—lo in r ilmii you can by any
possibility conceive, astute officer of
lhe law though you may ho."
My expression mum have contlued
something ol surprise al bis vehemence for with an effort ho abruptly
chucked himself and at once went on
more calmly!
i "Swift. It's the young lady I expect
some day lo many; Bho's heard a rumor of the n.iii, ily. and Is worried
about mc. The uole was broubht by
bor coachman, and sbe's walling ou
tbo corner a block from hero for me
to , inn,- lo her.''
I tiled haul lo consider what wu
bed lu du. Enter a woman Into a case
like litis, and assured conduct hocqmes
uu Impossibility. ' Maillot was searching my fni-c eagerly; In a moment be
laid mure ul the mailer before me.
"Shea n sensitive, high-strung girl
whom the slightest breath of scandal
would fairly kill. I can'! let her namo
be dragged Into thla mess; I can't answer her note, and send Iho reply
away Hum under your very noso without a word lo yuu. And lhe roportersl
iti i.i,.ii, iii,.'..na' Swift, Stodger
.■..niii il to know what to do wltb 'em;
for pity's soke, tell him lo kill 'eml"
Agulu I Interrupted. 1 trust tbat I
may In all inudesty record Ibat I have
more than a spurk uf the feelings io
which lhe yuung fellow made such a
passionate appeal.
"i.uok here. Maillot, baa tbe young
lady a companion?"
"Yes usually; a young lady cousin
who lives with her."
"Very Well. If tbey liappan to bo
together now, wc can Bottlo Ihe matter
quite easily. Answer ber nolo; request the twu of them lo come here
lu a halt hum'. Wllhln lhat time we
can get rid ol Iho reporlera, and you
can well, you can colled youraelf.
H your present expression Is an Index
tu v.li.'i you uie likely to say, tbis will
he nn place for a young lady—for tbe
next thirty nilnulca, anyhow."
He eauglil and wrung my hand.
'•Swift, you're 8' good fellowl" he
said iissi'iih i.i i>. and hurried back io
bla aeal.
However, I did not forget tbat I
ha|J not heard (his yuung man's story;
nur did I fall lo consider Ibat he wu
a lawyer, and hence possessed of advantages for appreciating and Intelligently weighing all the chances for
aud against his sweetheart becoming
Involved.
Aa Maillot dropped Into bla chair,
Btndgor could no lunger contain him
self. Drawing me into Ibe ball, though
the ii, ,n was left wide opon, bo eald
In a whlspe rlhat wu heavy with Importance:
"Vijud never guoss whose coachman

I mado no allcmpl to, and my atout
friend impressively announced:
"Fluello'a."
"WhatI" Surprise Jerked tbe exclamation from me; but I kept my
volco subdped.
"Kail." Sludger nodded his round

PQLITI08
"The Week" published in Victoria,
in forecasting the program of the pro
vlncial government, doclares that a redistribution'bill will be passed early in
the present session whicii enlivened
yesterday aud that before the year is
very far advanced, probably in March,
the government will appeal to the
country.
In speaking nf the new distribution
bill the "Week" cautions against the
error of concluding that population will
be accepted aa the baals of ^presentation.'One reason for departing from
this basis is readily apparent, namely,
it is necessary lo provide ailei|ttat.i representation for the outlying sections
of the province whicii while of eitan
"iv.. territorial ares sre as yet hut
sparsely populated. The result is tliat
if it woro endeavored to arrive at a
unit of population to apply throughout
the entire province for purposes of re
presentation, the number of members
returned from the morn populous districts would lie increased lo many
times that which is either necessary
or desirable for Hie transaction of the
business of tho province. The house
as al present, constituted contains a
sufficiently large number of members
when the population of the province
as a whole is considered ami while it
is not lo be supposed that a redislri
button bill can be framed without increasing that number mure or less, yet
it will be generally recognized as dl-
sirahlo that the increase be conltned
lo the smallest practicable proportions.
Should the surmise of tho "Week"
as to a provincial election soon after
the termination of the present session
prove correct, it is safe In conclude
lhat the new railway policy of Ihu
I',ss, n,in,-ni Intimations concerning
which Premier Mcllride has thrown
out upon several occasions v. ill be the
basis of lhe government's appeal to
Hie electors.
i'i,,n, Ihe niiisii,' of lhe remarks
which tlte Premier has made upon different occasions, il would' appeur Unit
the railway policy which the govern
ment is about t/i Iuy before the house
will embody a comprehensive scheme
of railway conitructlon throughout the
province upon a scale commensurate
with Ilie needs of tlio province fur rendering readily accessible and for pro
uniting tin- speedy unli/uimu and development of thu magnificent nuliirul
resources which arc as yd untouched
for  lack   of  transportation   facilities
lu replying to the petition of lhe Peace
liner lluilwuy delegation Premier Me
llride suisl that if the province were
Isi be provided with that mileage of
railroads Unit   is actually needed     In
keep  plleo  with  the  ,, ,|',i I' I,       Vail
cuuver Island, iiutfead of having only
i'i miles of railway as was
the ease until very recently,
should have four or live hull
tired miles ami the equipment of the
mainland should lie made uu Iho satin:
scale, He further intimated thai when
the railway bill was made public il
would be seen that the government
had followed out this conception of tlte
situation iu framing the bill and fur
ther, that provision had been made
with respect to the project favored by
Hie delegation such as he thought
would be considered satisfactory
lu committing Itself to a project of
the proportions which would appear to
be designated by these statements, it
would mil lie surprising If ths government considered it wise to seek the
endorse! ion of the people, which, when
lecured, would give them a lull term
in which lo carry forward that policy
without interruption. Under preient
'/itidltions three sessions of tlie existing
term will have elapsed at tka close
of the present aeesion and it is Bcarce
ly to be expected that a railway policy
suck aa enuacleted would be undertaken
witk but a rsmnlnt of tke term to
work upon In view of the fact that au
appeal to tke people Is fully justifiable
under tbe circumstances aud thoroughly
coustlmtopei-M well.'

Contrary to the usual practice the Assessment Notices (or
1912 have been sent to the registered owners of property
according to lhe Land Registry record?. i        ,,,
Up to the present, purchasers have been in the habit of
notifying the city authorities that the property had changed hands
io that notices of assessment and taxation should not go astray.
This foim of registration of owners has heretofore been deemed
sufficient for city purposes, but owing to a recent decision tf ie
city council is advised by its solicitors to recognise these owners
only who appear on the records of the Land Registry Office.
Unfortunately a great many never register their deeds or agreements.
The Norlh Vancouver Land and Improvement Company
has received numerous assessment notices for 1912 for property
which it has sold and whicii has since changed hands two or (hree
times.
The Company, therefore, desires lo notify persons who have
purchased from it that they should lake steps to ensure notices
of assessment and taxation being sent to them so lhat they may be
come aware of the value at which ihey are being assessed and
pay taxes as they fall due.

BAST    CAPILANO    HATE PAYERS'
ASSOCIATION
Editor Express:
Dear Hir, The Eait Capilano Hale
payers' Association meeting convened
last night in the school house and lhe
last guns of the municipal campaign
were lircd in a manner which denotes
a determination on the purl of lhe
members lo make this election one lutig
lo be remembered bolh in Hits district
and surrounding country. The feeling
uf the meetng strongly advocated a
change, ami no doubt they will go uul I
after what tbey want. Ml- MOfjiV*
PHlSlPll speaker of the evening, do|i-
vend arj.addraas wbleh clearly revealed to tbs audience his ability lo Sit at
tho head of the table at the gut council of the district Uo very cleverly
defended himself against the shafts of
falsehood ami scandal which were repeatedly hurled at bin) and when he
had Unladed it was quits evident that
the old war bona was as At and eager
for ths battle as ever he was and tkat
is going some.
Mt, Wagg very clearly outlined his
platform for the coming year and
manifested a dusire to put his opponent Into clear with I volume of questions that would stagger a horse, but
Mr. Loutet teemed quite equal to tbe
occasion aqd etplained hlmielf clearly
on all questions asked. Personality
and tbo usual amount of election mud
flew fait and furiously at timet but
good Judgment on the part of the audience and chairman kept things quite
..- .p.'. table considering.
Tho last but not least speaker of
tbe evening, Mr. Alexander Philip, de
livered an addresa which for volume of
words and impression was not wanting
in any stage of the game. He very
clearly eipreised his desire to itreugth-
eu Ihu hand of Reeve McNaught whom
he seems lo imagine ia the only man in
the world who cnuld possibly get the
Hecuiid Narruwi bridge. A man whn
turns down our aaiuciation by his ah
sence on the last meeting before elections, sil,en we have never had the
pleasure of hearing him express his
views on any matter and Mr. McNaught
mosl remember lhal tujLiuJong ago
we had a school treat and I notice
lhat the chairman uf Iho school board
could not Aud lime to alien.I, but he
sends along a miserable type written
.'..'iee for his absence from our asso
ciation meeting iu order that he might
an.'i..l the opening uf lite school in
Lynn Valley. Now that is not considered a very good way to gain favor
md any consequencei arising out of
sueh a. nuns, such contemptuous treat
ment, cantiol bo anything liul disas
Iroui and gues lu shnw lhal his heart
is out iu Fast Capilano, one of the
best revenue producing wards in lhe
diitrict. Yuiirs truly,
