Building Permits Increase 600 Per Cent Gas Franchise Under Consideration $150,000.00 to Build Third Big Ferry " .Plebiscite On Bottle Liquor License . -Norlh Vancouver's pbenomonal pro- i gress is very decisively proven by the building inspector's statistics as submitted to the city council last night, when the regular session was provided over by Mayor McNeish. Mr. Fuglor's report showed that Hi building permits had boon issued during tbe month of February, tbe tolal value of sunn/ being Hl,ltl. Tho total (or the last two months amounted to $103,166. Tbo total for January and February last year was 118,780. Tho former roturns show, therefore oSii1.; increase over the latter. If it is true tbat "mouoy talks" such authentic figures as these aro tho best advertisement procurable for the .immense faith tbat ia being reposed iu the city's future Tbo muyor, prior to tho adoption of tbis report, commcnlod briefly on Its extremely gralifyiug character. There was a goodly amount of general business to bo transacted. YAmong tbe correspondence was a letter from the City Ferries Co. request ing the couucil lo take immediate ac tiuu iu the submission of a bylaw to authorise the borrowing of 1366,000 for Iho purposo of rcpurcbaaing tbe 40 years' debentures issued in lulu: (160,. 000 to be expended on tho construction of a new ferry steamer of the same type as ferry number three, wbicb cost ap. proximately (136,000. Tbo question was deferred pcuding further information from Ike ferry rxtrd. Mr. William Tun.hull applied for a license to operate a moving picture theatre on Firsl street west in the building uow und«r construction on lots 16, 17, 18 sud 19. block 166, 1). h. 374. I'.'riuiM.ii.il was granted sub jeet to llic usual conditions. Tbe district clerk notified Ibo civic fathers ibal Rcevo May, Coun. Bridg man aud lbc water commillee Inul been appointed a committee to meet llic council iu reference to tbo Lynn Valley waler question. A note of Ibauki emanated from Mr Dougail Jenkins, F.ugiucers, for the council's prompt actum in the matter of a sidewalk on the soulb side of Crescent street. Capt. Catcs wrolo detailing lhe be baviour of a lug towing a pile diner on Friday evening. Apparently lbc tug failed lo get out of Ibe way of tbe ferry, wilb (be result that lbc hitter vessel bad to reverse engines. The captain sought the issuing to masters of small craft of sucb ordei| as would prcvont contingencies of Ibe above dc scription. Tbo matter was hauded over to the transportation commillee I'rof. R P. Macnaghlen slated by let tor tbat in viow of tbe fact tbat four applications wc/c being madi for bottle .licenses in Norlb Vancouver, tbe mat Vir ought to be aubmittcd to lbc rate payers Mr. Macnaghlen personally understood Ibat a number of ratepayer! were aoiious Ibat tbe Norwegian sys torn should be given a trial in Norfb Vancouver. Tbe writer wu therefore willing to pay tbe costs of a plebiscite worded as follows: "In Ibe event of a bottle licence being granted In Norlb Vancouver would, you prefer (1) that it ibould be granted to I private indi vidual, or (t) that it should be grant ti to a comspany devoting all profits ■ (above 6 per cent, for interest in the capital invcatmHt) lo objects of pub Ul utility not supported by tbe rates." Thi luggeatien WM handed over lo the licensing committee. Tbi city engineer rcporlcd tbat it would cost about (1,300 to place a street . alga at each intersection in the city Units. The matter waa left iu Mr. Hancs' bands. Aid. Irwin made plainlivo llluflou to certain occasions, probably within the memory of moat cltizcne, when the street can /all to conned wllh tho tenia. The boat bad been known, in such an event to pull out when the c*r wm within a very short distance ot /he wbarf. Aid. Irwln dwelt upyu the aggravating character of aucb P ill- cumetance, particularly u viowed from tho interior of the wharf-bound car. He thought that some rule might oo fo/mn- lltoi whereby thi captain would hi era- powerid to show »omo consideration ind loti the peoplo get aboard when it only meant a minute or so's iluluy.' Tbo mayor promiiod to raise tho topi • at the next mooting of tha torry ill rectorato. Tenders wero then openud and considered ' /or the clearing of the ro- creation ground. Tbo following pricos were submitted: I.. Porcia, $386 per acre; Walter l.yle, (360 por aero; I). MoLellan, (740 (lump sum); O, Romeo, $230 per acre; A.

Tucker, (89,386; Prix ducor's Bock aud Drawl Co., (12'Vliir>: I Ira nil e Quarries Ltd., (110,666. The clork pointed out tbat Mr. Tu. i. or'a tonder was tbo ouly ono to reach bis offico within the spccillod time Discussion tban waged around tho question wbothcr Mr. Tucker's tender should be accepted for this reason only. It was mentioned tbat Mr. Tucker might havo grouuds /or objection if tbo other two tenders were considered. It was thou discovered that Mr. Tm I. or was present in person. Ho wm therefore asked by the council if he had any objection. He replied in tbe negative. Even this did not sitisfy Aid. McRuc wbo mado a brief oration of protest against the procociliug. Ultimately Mr. Tucker's lender of (89,386 was accepted. Tbe council decided to take up the gas franchise question on Tliursduy owning, tbere boiug two applications to baud, one from tbo North Vincuuver Dim and Coke Co. ami tbo other /rom H. ■Sydney Haudcock represent- ing Coutls and Co.

The Nortli Shore Was "At Home" on Sunday Concourse of Visitors from Across the Inlit The glorious sunshine which Hooded North Vancouver on Sunday tempted an unuausl number of visitors across tho Inlet, which, by tbo way, twinkled like a writable caskot of jewels.

A BLOT IN THB SCUTCHEON Ail Adaptation of Robort Browning'i Vtam There is possibly no literary classic better known tban ibis work of Browning in which he presents io bis inimitable manner the result of vanity, hence there is little need of a description further than » brief outline.

It requires that agents shall pay u nonv mel license foe of $1 every sis months, lhat they must keep records of all per B,C„teDAY, MARCH U?!2 sous for whom Ibey find cmplii;n,cni ami these records must always be open for government inspection.

Tbe closing hours of thl session were perhaps, more remarkable for the au nouneemenls Ihey brought forlli lli'iu for Ihe legislalion Ibal thoy establish cd or killed. First came the prem ier's Inuouiiccmeut of the proposed appointment of a eommission on muni ripal matters, whose duty it should be, not only to rearrange the Muni ripal Act so thai it can bo followed more intelligently, but tbey are also to roporl upon various forms of municipal government wilb the object of re porting to tbe legislature what tbey consider to be tbe municipal policy bait lUitcd lo the province as a whole. Tbis commission will travel to places in Ibe i '.'I'd States and Ciuada, where the commission form of iiovem ment hu been adopted and Ihey will also go to eastern Canadian cities and investigate the working of Boarda of Control. This miller wm brought lo a head by Vancouver's application to be allowed to idopl a modified cominls sion. lu speaking of lbc Municipal Act one worlby amendment to tbat bill this eesiion was the dropping of the awl. ward word "Clauaoi" from the till* Mow tbia cumbersome ind meaningless lerru came lo be incorporated in tho till.' originally li • myitory.

Including (be atippply bill there were 88 new laws enacted during the session, and eleven meiiures Hint came beforo tb* houso fajlpd to become lliv. Outside of tbe sin bills tint embodied tbo government's railway policy, the most important single measure was tbe Forijjjf Act, u bulky .statute which provides ror tho creation of a bureau of forestry aud reclassifies and makes more stringent the regulatiohs governing tbo forests. Tbere wore a nujnbur of smaller bills of social importance. Ono mado is possible for women to practice at the bar of tbe province; another provided for an industrial homo for young girla who have gone astfay; anil the attornoy-gouerul's amendment to Iho Liqpor Act mado mure stringent the regulutiuus and the protection surrounding interdicts. Of educational Importance was Hon. Dr. Young's bill to provide for the opening of tbe new provincial univ.er sity. This sets a definite date for culling tho Arst convocation; it invites plans for tho University buildings as a whole; ami sots aside half a million dollars towards the construction of lhe first of them. It is the beginning of a lastlo of learning Ibal in a year or two more will greet lhe ships going it) ward or outward by Point Grey. Iu is.i.im..i.

TERMINAL BLBVATOBB FOB THB NOBTH Bh6bB One of the most important featurus of tho rullway situation as it has developed upon the North Bhore Is found in Ilie fact that it la now generally com coded Ibat tbe great terminal elevators which are expected to be built ui ther liy the government or by the ro ipeclive railway corporations for handling grain frum tho pruirlo protinenj, shipped via the weslorn route will bo loculcd un this sido of the Inly. It has long been roeognined by those who wero conversant with tho real in Km.hss .. of tho Munition rolalivo lo satisfactory shipping facilities fur Can adiiitt ..In ni, ilml a western route was an ulisoltito necessity, but of late the di'iiiiin.l has be. um.' so pronounced lhal it bus ended recognition in iullueii imi uml in niii. iui circles yui h as uli' minnlcs overy element from lbe prob lent i". .'pi Ilml uf the actual am uunl of limo which will be required for Ihe perfecliiin nf plans which arc already In hand. The past season in the prairie pro vlncee sow sumo thirty million bushels of wheat left in the fields all winter lm. m... iif lack uf shipping facilities Tbe total yiold last yoar was 180,000, 000 bushels, 0 total that was much lie low normal. It is expected that the yield next season will bo not less than 150,000,000 bushuls. The capacity of Ibe route via the Oreat I,ekes is miiIi eienl ut best lo liaiullo only a fraction of this iinmensu crop. As fur the all rail-mute eustward Ihe distaueu frum Calgary tu HI. John's, Now lirunswick (tbe nearest winter port) is upproiim ulely unu lliniisanil miles greater Ihun Iho iti.lume from Calgary lo Hurrard Inlet. The distance from oilier great wheat centres norlh of I'ulgary lo thr Pacific coast is correspondingly shuri us cun.pm, ,1 with the di;.in lo llic Ailantie seaboard, Even with the oec ussity uf sbippiug Hie wheal via tho must route, uruiind Cape Hum lu the European market, the situaliuti Is much iu fuvor uf llurrurd Inlet as llic ship ping purl, but wilh Ibe early upeiiing ' of lbc 1.11,uio,1 Canal, the advantages uf tbe Pacific e^iift route will render it immensely superior. As Inr terminal elevator sites on Hur 1.n.I Inlet, Hie udvunluges uf the Nurth Hliure iu Ibis respect are so readily ap |,11.ni its to be absuiulely undeniable uml public opinion has iccopted the conclusion Ihul lhe movement upon the purl uf greul railway companies lu wurd construction of lines upo.11 Ihis side of the Inlel, signifies thai these great terminal elevators am lo be locul ed upon the north shore. It is like wise positively ulhruicd by Ibusu who are in position lu know, that lhe Hum inion government has in band a scheme fur Ibe cVectlon nf elevators of im mouse capacity upon the Nurlh Bhore. 'i'u uli. n.pi In designate uny purtirular sites for these elevulurs (uf which Ihere ure destined to be a number) wuuld be tbe crudest kind nf conjee lure,, inasmuch us Hie many miles of tide Huts winch aro peculiar lo tbii side of tlie Inlel, afford ideal facilities for elevator purposes along the ontire lilural. The many benefits which will accrue ' lu the Nurlh Hhore from the presence of Ihis great wheat traffic are of the must valuable and far reaching nature, Accepting Ibo estimate of 860,000,000 bushels uf wheal as accurate fur llllli, and bearing in mind Ibe fail lhat only a fraction of lhal section of the Canadian wheat bell /which Would naturally Beck an outlet by the western route, is ■t present uuder cultivation, it Is ipiilo evident that Ihe possession of tbi* wheot trallic would of itself make Nortb Vaueouver lbe greatest sbippiug'port on tho Pacific coast iu point of loti nni"'. The possibilities tbat such a jn.. -i-i ri opens up for the Norlh Hbure Is better left lo tbo imagination-nf the individual to picture for himself. Iu any case, Ihey are sufficiently great to satisfy lhe most sanguine hopes of Ihe must optimistic advocate* of tbe fu tore grealnesa of North Vancouver. A JPPffJ4»~5oVBgNMBNT"10re WITH OOOD SEASON Approximately nine ye»rs ego Richard Mcllride, on* of Hritisb Columbia's nativo sons, waa returned premier it tb* bead of * government having * bar* majority of on* in tba provincial legis ture. At tbit time tb* province VM practically bankrnjit, revenue wm ■0 small tbit the most rigid economy could not hopo to avoid 1 formldlbli deficit at tbi end of tbe year, the credit of the province was absolutely nil ■nd even worn, for the renon that creditors were pressing for payment of overdue liabilities and thero was no money wherewith to pay. . At tbe provincial elect inns held about two and 1 half years ago, tho Hon. lllchard Mcllride waa returned to power for the third time at the head of a government whose followers totalled thirty-nine out of a house consisting of forty two members. During tbe intervening yeara, the finan cial I'oiid'iioii of tho proviuee bad un dergono a most remarkablo transformation. Tbo Minister of Finance, Hon. Price Ellison, was able to announce to tbe bouse at tbo session juit terminated that tho outstanding liabilities of the province total $0,418,637, but that, what wilh the ium of $8,686,647 In cash in the bank and otber assets in .tho way of securities, the province for Iho first time since confederation, cau boast an actual credit balance In tbe public accounts and Ibat balance amounts to $1,407,604. That is to say weie it considered advisable, Hrilish Columbia could pay evory duller Ibal the proviuee owe*/ in the world, and show a clear balance ovor and above of tho amount last namud. The magical change which has been wrought upou the crodit of Ibe pro vine* by litis financial progress is seen in tho fact tbat Hritisb Culumbia is now Ihu premier province in Canada in lha matter of the price received for provincial debentures, beiug throe points in advance of the nearest com putitor iu this regard. Iu addition to litis, Premier Mcllride found hiunolf iu posit mn to bring duwn during the re cent session from Ihu several depart mollis uf his government, a budget pro viiiing fur tbe expenditure of sixteen million dollars during tbu cumlng year over one half of whirl, ia to bo used for public wurks. Tbis immense IX- I" iisliiun, which is tbe largest ever sanctioned lu date by any provincial legislature in the Dominion, the government is able to undertake wilb evety assurance of beiug able tu meet Ibe ubligalions involved, without add ing anything lo the public debt. Thero il reason for Ibe change above notod iu the numerical strength uf lbc government suppurters in Ihu huuacand for lbe ehauge which bas taken place In the liniiii. ml standing uf the province While every reasonable persou will ae knowledge that the general Improve- incut in business bas been •» important factor in the satisfactory development* as to provincial finances, yel il is clearly evident that Ibe eleclors of Hrilish Columbia arc (otiviuced that Ibe prime factor in those developments bai been tbe sound and enterprising policy win. li bas been followed through out by tbe in 11111111.-ii..ti.in of Premier McBride. It is further a notable fact lhal, owing lu lhe present enviable position of tbe provincial finances, the government has been able lo embark upon a policy of rall«v development upon a icale hitherto unprecedcolcd in the hiitory of my province of lbe Dominion and one which wil) prove of untold advantage to tbe rapid progress and development of Ihe province at tbis important June Uri it provinrlsl iDairs.

C„ TUESDAY, MARCH 5. mi othor Important topic The ordinary law, however, will COt interfert with Jones whorover be goes bo long ai lio 1I011.1 not trespass on lorooboily else's properly, ami it will not iulorforu .with his talk so long ai his talk is nr, slanderous or seditious. The law adopts the same attitude of benevolent Indifference to Brown, to liiibiiniiiii and to all tbe other talk- era and listontrs, witb tht result that Brown, Jones, Boblnson anil others may do separately when alone, provided of course, tbat when tbey are together thty io regulate their talking and walking thoy do not interfore with other peoplo aud do not make others afraid of a breach of the peace. So that, in tbo end, the public may meet together, so long ai the assembly does not truspass and tbo spoakers do not slander others or preach sedition. This looks very much as if the right were givon to tlio crowd. It is not so; it Is given to tho individual, and it is through tho right of tho individual that tbo public "rights" aro got. The rights of tho iudividiial (subjiict to certain necessary limitations) aro the foundation of all those largor rights which wo call "public rights." Now ilieie aro cases whoro nicotines aro bold, ami though tho assembly docs not trespass and ils members neither slander puoplo nor preach sedition, yd tho law forbids tho meetings. The mooting may havo becoino uproarious aud violent, and threaten the safely of thu peace. Here every good citizen may join in dispersing the meeting, und, indeed, it hccuuios his duly lo do so if called upon liy ono in authority—for instance, if called upon by a constable, or u in.ij'i: inii- or u sheriff; but un moru force lhan is just necessury muy bo used; then deadly weapons musl not be used to disperse u rowdy crowd at a football match. Again, there lire iiiiiiiiij.'i. where the people come together for an unlawful purpose, or to do an unlawful thing in un unlawful way. Such a meeting would he a criminal ouspiracy. One of his majesty's jud ges once said thut for two men to agree to blow their noses in church at the -inin- time during divine service would he a criminal conspiracy. At any rute. Die law relating to conspiracy is very wide, and the writer dues not attempt to follow it any further here. As regards trespassing, one ought to mention that people who gather in sla tionary crowds in public si reels arc trespassers. The streets arc lo walk along, and not to serve as a forum or meeting ground. An amusing case involving a crowd iu a slreei occurred in London Hourly a century ago where the proprietor of a cake shop in Regenl trool wus charged with keeping uud maintaining a public nuisance becuuic ho employed a pretty girl in the shop and she altracted a large number uf men outside. What is a itditious msetingl continues Mr. Derbyshire. According lo the late Mr. Justice Stephen, sedition cm braces "bringing into hatred or con tempt or exciting disaffection against the person of the king or his heirs, against lhe government or the consti tution of the United Kingdom as hy law established; or against either house of parliament or the administration of justice; or exciting his majesty's sub jacts otherwise than liy lawful means lhe nli' i..ium of any matter in chunh or slate hy law established, or inciting any person to commit uny crime iu dis turbance of the peace; raising ilia- content or disaffection amongst His Majesty's subjects or promoting feelings of ill will and hostility botweon .lass and class. An intention to show that the King has heen misled or that ibere are errors or defects in the slale is not seditious. The wriler commends Ihe above to those politicians (not of one parly alonej who wish lo lake certain mat ters into their own hands ,and believes, us I.e. ky did, Ihul "there are no crimes so serious and far reaching and produc live of such widespread misery as those which undermine the great pillars of society." • SMMsGure ■TOPS COUCH vmeb. is cuius IsAI Mlllll - CAPILANO LAUNDRY My .luHi." are at the Capilano I sn ui,.liy where yours ought to bt.

There wus »n abundance of recalls and a niAuhor of generous responses, the concert from Start to liniiih being pleasantly sustained and deserving of a larger gathering of listeners. Ur.

The competition for these medals is to be confined te boys and girls under eight con yen's „f age und no dsliiiolion is to bo made between sexes. Women have long since taken a place iu liter aluru equal lo that occupied by men, Mr. Kerr believes, and a contest In which girls will compete against boys will be more interesting to all concerned lhan one in which separate pri itos are given. Tlio competition will be open lo sin dents in ull puits of Canada and there will be uo bard and fast rules as lo tbe leugtb of Ihe essay submitted, al though articles of 60 to 800 words will be preferred.

Iu discussing tbe proposition to inter i si. i.li yonng people iu goo I mails In means of tbis competitiou Mr. Kerr pointed opt tbat it waa Imperative tbat lbe gospel of good roads should be preached to tbe boys aud girls because it is while the mind is in a formative stage that impressions aro lasting and ideas easily grasped.

Very few people go to see the Capilano eanyen from December to March. At tbis timo nf the year to look at tbe vast sword-cut in tba mountains, it like looking at tbe insido of a great euld, lofty church. Beal winter Is not far from the canyon now; the wind tbat saws through tbe canyon's huge tube comes from tbe snows. And tbo February fog is. as austere as wot olotbs. I took some tanned liquor as a prophylactic at tbe hotel, and inched along tbe wooden flume into tbe chasm that gulfs down hundreds of feet to where tbe river, carded by little rock teeth, cataracts below. The day was serene. White winter waa ou the mountains all around. Tha great gray canyon looked at mo witb a look of iron. Mystory and menace are tiro fascinations of the Capilano canyon in February. With Its suggestion of ages unknown it reminds you of wild forces lhat made it when tbe world was young. Tbe secoud canyon is tbe nave of tbe great, roofless cathedral nf tbe Capilano, if sueb a thing may be said. Ita rough-hewn architecture is of a vast Doris order. The bed of tM'lillle river tbat chafes tbe canyon's door sille, bidden in summer In a green abyss of beauboeage, Is Its crypt, Oriels and vertsiei It lias In nicboa, screened by leafage, in its mighty walls; for incense smoke It has the little mist clouds tbat catch iu its ree limbs like kites. But instead of priests you look for the old gods of the outdoors, sud the only acolytes an active imagination would expect to see are mountain kobolds and foroet trolls. But the canyou asks witb grey insist once that some rites, priestly of pagan, be performed. , Of course, they should be pagan to rbyme; you ran think of no christian rites that would not seem toplil there. When you think of tbe canyon's rbron- "logy, you think of an older note (Jroat winds seem io blow through your memory, and you seem to remci.i ber having beon between two jusl such incrorable walls about sit lifelimes back. You foel, too, tbat you are under tbe canopy of a vory big devil or a very big god. Not the civilised and tamed god of Ihe priests and par sons or tbeir tamed devil either, bul god of some other mythology bleak aud terrible. The canyon baa Ihe majesty that big simple maasca of form give. No man could lind words to tell of Ihe lilcnrj lhal lives in lhat huge gash, pressing upon you like a weight of dark waters. Tbis silence is tbo dismal thing about tbe 'iinjon in February; it is thu un canny mystery you feel lhat dwells tbere. It blows ou you like a colder wind until you want tu go away from the window. It is uot (lie spirit of quiet and rost. Tbis stiliuess is a threat. Tbe canyon Is of notable sire, but it looks bigger in winter than in summer. It . is big -enough to make you feel very small. Tbe great cliffs rise above you like castle walls, corniced, lur retted, butioucd, aa you creep, feeling very small, along the frail and precarious footway. In majesty and grim ncss Ibe mighty walls lift above you to roofless space. Tbe severity of its winter color enhances the grandeur of Ibe canyon. lu mountain ranges uf far grealor physique there are uo canyons like tbis. lis walls of vortical rock are shuer enough lo make you ditxy, aud », y„ s vji^aiyry I, miMJ^rt ■> when yog ent«r It yoa.loavg sunlight behind. Instead a sky doap with light sends down a strange radiance, au un- earthly illumination, ft is this kind aLHjjlit tilt makes th* mm lock ||. so old. It really Is, th»y ity, ono of the oldest of tboi nooks and crannies of tbe p)d earth. It was late liftoriioiiu and growing dark in tbe canyon and the obvious dangers of tho wooden flume which sticks t° the side of the gorge Ilka a wisp of tbo mist to tba wing on an equinox gave to exploration p slight spice of adventure. A false*etep would plunge an explorer diAvu to death pn the broken rooks below. Tbe black and dripping plumes of tbe Hrs hung in tha way. Tbe planks were wet and slippery witb rain and in some places broken or missing. Heavy shadows shaded the canyon's greens and grews and browns into one flat and noteless tone, though In tbe world above it was atill full dsy. It was then tbat tbe true winter character of tbe canyon, its austerity and aloofness, began to make itself felt. In tbe deeponing shadows the ilnme and its narrow board footway Were a grey glimmer. The narrow planks held up by tbeir slender stilts and brackets, seemed narrower. Tbe can yon walls began to contract and the dim sky strip overhead became a drab tapo. Tbe great crevasse grew deeper as the shadows tilled out. Thu huge cliffs bulked enormous in tho shaded light aud their dreadful eummits beetled above me. ' To say tbat it was profoundly impressive bas a trifling sound; it was more than that. -Pollough Pogue, iu Iho "Morning Hun." LYNN VALLEY NOTES Mr. /. P.
