HERD'S INTIMATION OF WUH
TO RELINQUISH OFFIOE
if
** Qentlepion,
"I Inr. herewith to tender iny resin
nation as city clerk of the eity of
North Vancouver, to take affect at
once, or as ioou as possible.
«" Yours faithfully,
"THOMAS SHEPHERD,
"(Hty Clork."
The above notice of resignation was
reud by the acting city clerk, Mr. 0.
T. Himliuii, at last night's meeting of
the eity council, when Mayor McNeish
presided ever u full complement nf
alderiu tin.
Alderman Foreman immediately rom
and movetf formally that the resignation should be accepted, ami that Mr.
Shepherd should lie asked tn continue
in the capacity of city clerk for u week
or two uml so help the council uut of
its  ililli. >,lt i
Alderman Irwin, iu seconding,
thought the middle of Juno might lie
a i.u.'i.i, time to include in the motion.
Alderman Foreman was willing to
make il June ISth.
Alderman Dick spoke in earnest op
position to the passage of Ihe motion
of acceptance. He reminded the couu
cil that when the former engineer ro-
llgned—and he had not served the
city us long us Mr. Shepherd—thc coun
ill had nit.n.l to provide him wilh u
liuli.liiy uml pay expenses, seeing thai
he was resigning through' overwork.
"Tbe I'm clerk," said Alderinau
Dick, "has worked Iwu yean without
a liuliilni. Hu yuu realiie, gentlemen,'1
he continued with emphasis, "Ihut we
Imu bail a good city clerk I—one Hint
it will be hard to duplicate! He has
worked since 1007 without a vucutiu
If we were to suspcud Mr. Sbephcrlff
for three months ami so force liini.Jn
take a vacation it would lie but
act of i in t."i in ii charily." Alderman
Dick dwelt upon Mr. Shepherd's value
tu Nurlh Vaueouver. It was a ucces
my to retain hii lerviccs if they could
In- retained. Tbii was uot a question
tu be lightly treated, but one to be
icriouily cuitiidcrcd. "It is not mini'
than six iinini lis ago," said Ihe elder-
man, "tbat tho mayor aud the city
lurk hud occasion to go down cast,
and his worship then told tho council
that this man's ability wai luvaluahlo
to tha city." Alderman Dick reltor-
iiifil that the best uml wisest step to
pursue was to give Mr. Shepherd a
well ili'scri nl holiday ami get hlm iulu
shape to uio the work.
Alderman Eraser thought it regret
table that thu city hail not been pro-
riding vacation! for its officials. He
and M.I,'iinini Hiss, however, believed
that as there was no excuse given in
the city clerk's letter the resignation,
ought to be accepted by tiic council,
Alderman Irwiu fully appreciated
the iiii'l Hint Mr. Shepherd hail nn
lend iniiliinl service to the city. The
council wus aware, however, that he
had been considering putting his rcsig
nation before the council fur loiiif
little time, lie thuiight that the rcsig-
nutiuu shuuld lie accepted with regret,
The matter was une which should lie
-I,alt  wilh in a businesslike way.
Alilomian McBae shurcd the huiii"
view. The muyur thereupon submitlcd
the inuii.in tn Ihe council, ami dct'lare.l
it curried with one dissentient voice.
Consideration wuh then given lu llic
matter uf advertising fur a fully t|uali
lied mun tu replace Mr. Shepherd. The
view was lirsl advanced by Alderman
Irwin Hint applicants shoulil be asked
tu slute Hie salary expected, but this
mel wilh disagreement from otber
aldermen. Alilcrinuii Mcltac was pur
tieulurly omphalic. He Ihuught that
such a courso might load the rounc'l
tu choose the wrong man by reason uf
tbe imiii,iii.ii salary he desired, uml
be alsu cooiiderctl that the council
shuuld know whul the posjtlon wai
worth. It wus Muii,I lhal the preient
eity clerk's Milan was ♦ 150 a month,
but ai,i,'iiiuiii Dick pointed out tbat
Mr. .'.In i'lu-i'i':, initial salary was only
■•tin a in,mill ut a time when ther'
were hardly any bylawi drafted. It
wai eventually agreed that the advt-r
liiemi'itt should tall for applications
frum fully t|uulillcd men to act is city
clerk at an Initial ulary of »l2.i per
month; all application! lo be iu by
Thursday, June Ulli A motion lo lint

uuin Dick again recurdiug a negative
vote.

Canada, The Land
Of Opportunity
A story Ib tuld of a visitor to a Blur
opean eity who waa shown bj a guiilo
through the Art Gallery in that eity.
In one of tlio corridors waa a uolln'-
tion of iipagos of certain mythological
deities. The visitor wan not greatly intonated uutil bo came to ouo whoso tape
was entirely covered with his long liuir,
it bail bean combed down in inch u
way as to conceal his features, lie
tur/ied to tho guide ami asked the reason for. this peculiarity. "Ob," was
tbe response, "that is tho gud of Opportunity; and Iiiu hair is combed down
io that it will be difficult for people to
recognize bim." I'ushiug usitlu the
hair it was seen that bis face wn,
beautiful to look upun, but for the rcn
son just given the majority would pan
him by.       ,
If that is a true story it la not illustrative of Oanada today. Here tlte
god of opportunity is to be seen in
every eity ami town ami village, lie
stands with open arms on the prairies,
on tbo great mountain slopes of Hrit
ish Columbia, away down by tiic A>
lactic seaboard, in Iho forests of Now
Ontario and ou the frown short's of
Hudson's Hay. It is only a l.iiml mini
who cauuot see him, anil liis smile is
so winsome, his appeal so inviting that
only an idle man fails to grasp him
by tin' hand.
"The Land of Opportunity", is ;,
favorite title for locturce on Cunuiln
in tbe United Kingdom, ami il is n
good title, but I am afraid it is Iv
•oining hackneyed. Men ure so used
to glowing pictures of waving wheal
fields, uud rolliug prairies uml flowiirj
rivers, ami glassy lakes, uml prosper
oui towns, that thy feel thul there
must be much exaggeration in llic tie
scriptious given. Sometimes there ij,
though it is t|uilc unnecessary. For no
man who has been through this fair
Dominion with his eyes open can tie
scribe its beauty, its uiaguillcence, il.
almost illimitable stretches of jYrlil'
soil, ami its golden oppurt uni lies for
tbe man who lias the power lo look
ahead.
Oac of the conditions whieh makes'
life io monotonous to millions of toilets
n the Oltl Land, is that there is nt
outlook, tbey cun we no belter ilay
dawiiiug. Jt is humdrum und rold.

thai,
"lieyoiida the durk ami slorinj bourn!,
Which girdi iheir dull horizon rutin.I.
A lovelier landscape swells."
ami Ihey arc disinclined In believe
the stories of that lovelier landscape,
even though they arc aceonipauietl hv
pictures which appeal not only to the
eye but to the imagination 11 is a
soincwltut sordid argument lu put n,'
tu a man tbat he can make more moiicv
here lhaii at borne, and yel it is un
argument whieh tells with thousands
who regard 8 coinpeloiii-c us tin- be ull
uud eud'Ull of life. Lauada is ccrlanilv
a laud where opportunity abounds to
make mouey, but if that were all, il<
present grcalues* and its certain llu
periul destiny wuuld never be sung by
puet aud gloried in by the common
mail. 4ti principal attraction is Ibul
tl I'uiilains opportunity fur service uml
for work. One poet puts it thus:
"Here   i«   work for   men   to .lu, and
iweat;
Sweat,  sweat   that   makes   them   lean
ami itrung;
And fur iuch wurk at night they gel
A sleep us deep as u river's s ong."
Tins poet must hove lived ou tli
prairica; for in the cilici ami towns
there is toil and weariness as ut home
and yet there is a difference, whether
it is the almospbrc or merely the ipir I
of thuse whu live in the country, I d.i
nol know. Jt is difficult to describe
what makes a man. afler a
comparatively short lime become hi'
owu landlord. A Scotchman who has
beeu here two years, said lo me u few
dayi ago that there wai not to much
variety iu a city like Toroulo a.- in
ou old country eily.- I asked him what
he meant, "Oh," he replied, tbere .s
uot much sport or recreation." I on
awered bim indirectly. ' Do you know I'

and comout paths. Tbe final brick
bouse is just the shack added to ami
bricked over, lt is not all done at
once. Tho timber costs money;'evon
the nails aru not giveu away, and the
bricks when they ure ordered havu to
bo paid for, but a inau can dq the

finished with its wide verundub in front

want much more variety. A lurge employer ouce said to me that seventy
live per cent, of bis workmcu owned
their own bouses. I huve au idea thul
thu man wbn lives in his owu houso
■makes a better workman because "ne is
u bigger mun. Tbut is, perhaps, out'
reusuti why a mini growl'when becomes
to Oanndu.
There is a similar fascinatiuu in
watching the griiwth of a prairie town.
When yuu see it for, tlie lirst time, per

Beauty and its Worth
On all sldea, in every land, the hand of Nature has beeu
lavish in putting before us beauty in its fairest garb. By
this beauty our minds are liftod to higher planes by pure,
ennobling thoughts. From it comes the inspiration of the artist, whose mind and band hut reflect that which he sees
iu Nature's loveliness.
"How beautifull" exclaimed a lady tbe other day as sbo
entered our OUT GLASS BOOM. It ia Uke a chapter from
fairy land." She was a woman wbo appreciated real beauty
and real worth, and ln a moment of Ume rocognlzed in our
display of Out Olaas the master hand of the workman tha
reflection of ton true artist's mind.
There hi a magic in our Out Olaas which attracts all, It
is tho magic of quality and good taste.
As a wedding present a pleco of our Out Glass stands as
a leader, being highly appreciated by tbo brldo whoso dream i.i
—A Homo Beautiful.
Do not fall to visit our Olass Boom. IU boauty will repay you for your trouble.

Hut 1 hour someone saying, surely
everyone wbo goes to Ounudu docs uoj
muke gootl, does not catch the spirit
lo whicii.you have been referring, us
we ofter hour Ihul the stories of sue
i ess in I'uiiiida are exaggerated or un
Irue. Thai is so. I am reminded oi
u story I hoard coiicmlng Lord Ilutli
.-.i-liilil. A yuung mun wus seul tu him
with u letter uf intruduetiun, which
Idler asked that he would use bis itt
ilueine iii gel llic young man a guod
position in ^lie city of London. Ills
Lordship merely suid, "I uin jusl going
uut, walk along with inc." They culled
al sntnil oi Ilie leading financial
houses, uud lhe voung mail was simply
tujrudui id. lull nothing was suiil us to
his requiring u position. When tbey
returned to St. Swillicn's Lune, Lord
Rothschild shook bunds with bis com
punion ami Lmii' him good morning
"Ilul," stammered the young fellow,
"I thought vou were guing lo help mc
In get u position." "Have I not belpol
yuu/" wus the reply, "Vou have
beeu seen with me, thut is enough.''
i'l- to thut moment the gotl of Opportunity hud been invisible lu thut yuuug
fellow, uml the suiitc is true ot somo
wbu conic to I'uuudu. Austin J'hclpe
says thut the material virtues which
must i-omiiiand success ure "vigilance
tn watching opportunity, lacl nnd daring iu seizing upon opportunity, force
ami persistence in trow,ling opportunity
tu its utmost of possible achievement."
Tbere arc sume men whu ciinnul be tig
Haul, who huve no luet or power, unl
who tio uot ,i,i,ii..:i the nieaiiiug of
persistence. These men fail when Ihey
tunic here, ll tuuiiol be otherwise I
do uut iiiiun lu Miv thai ;, man may

Here's Your Paint!
Whatever your job of

a GOOD job, soonest

PURE
PAINTS
All ready for use. Simply choose the
right color from ths forty-seven shades in which
M-L paints are made—take off the cover, stir a
bit and start lo work. You'll find Ml, Pure Paints
spread easier, cover more surface, give a smoother,
glossier finish than any otber paint you could buy.
Uie M-L Paint and You Won't
Have to Paint to Often
Other paints soon fade, blister and flake off because other makers haven't yet found out, as we
have, how to mix a special ingredient with other
pure materials to make an elastic, durable paint
that stands extremes of wear and weather, and
keeps its lustre for the longest Ume.
