"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.

After christening Lynn Valley aa tha "huh of tbe municipality," he announced in a "what-do j*ou think of limit'' lone of voice, that 'i'-i't, miles 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 tarred in the twelve months.

He hid apparently found quite t number o( undertaking! outside iin' m'.ipe of the s'liniiiiiitisi! in 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 know tbo lite of etch dty'a isauo of tbe "World" aympttbized witb tbe reeve wheu he rolttod bow be bid searched tbtt journal for some clue to tbe fitnoua Ottiwi telegram.

Tbe reeve pointed out in tbia connection tbat proceeding! to tbii end had been carried through witb Weet Vincouver witbout a tingle hitch. Witb a final enunciation of hii disinterest od loyalty to Ibe municipality, the reeve returned bit seal, amid consider able applauae. / "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 opening one o( tbi btll wiadowi. Tbe atmosphere bid become ilmoat palpitating) Mr. May uttered icatbing con tradictloni to most o( the reevt's state iiienti. He turned dramatically is Mr. McNaught's direction tad uid witb empbeais: "I challenge tbe reeve lo prove (also any statement I hive intde." Appliuai. Mr. Mty, tfter touching upon tbe circuuutinree wbleb bad led to hii reentering public |ifi, tttended to tn 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 thtt ditlrict tny more tbtn tny other in |be municiptlity."

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 interest! of the municipilily. 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.

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.

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 for tbem, these two men battled fur It wilh an unlicensed tendering of fur tunes lhal amaxed lha world; ami one may easily Imagine the sleepless anxiety of the rat.-riioairoa, as Ural one and then the olher of lha ni'lllniiiiln s ran up bis bid with trua American prodigality. Only-and this lhe mystifying feature of the . plsodc -Felix Page could never honi-stly be accused ul prodi gallly in auy clreumalanees.

Wby did Falls Page want the Paler. nosier ruby? It was Impossible even 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 mosl fatuous In Uto world. Perhaps 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 um to see t gem of such renown; but wltb characteristic selfishness tbo uow owner refused ons and all, oot only a gflmpse of bla costly prise, but would not eveu Impart any Information about IL His wu a dogin the inungi i altitude; Wltb no appieelalloti Whatever of bis possession, be refused bluntly' to allow anybody else to enjoy It.

"Hung It, man! Don't luughl I'm moro dead In earnest than' I ever v.iw before lu my life.

January 111, 1818 DBVBLOPMBNTS IM FMVWOIAI. 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.' — i VVm OPMH»p Pf QAMAPA i slock the waters of (lanada Is engaged in op a large scale by tks Dominion (JoverniMot In 1909, the bomlaion Ask hatcheries planted no lower than ,{02,000 ttl '» varioui wale™ throughout tbs country.

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.

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.
