It wis puiiiieil out by Mr. Worsfubl
tbtt the swing span on each ilde of the

clear of all obstructions.
The members immediately took pus
lesslon of the plan and leauiicd it vury
clusely,
It was slated that large crafl would
be able tu use unly une lido uf the
swing. Thus fairly large craft wuubl
not bu able to go up ami down at the

I'aptaiu Wilbur held that the plan

was slatiuiied tin the wharf ut that
li nu r, and sume fear lest the rumur
wus after ull a boas began tu assert
ilself when Iheir Highnesses' autumn
Idle failed to emerge from ilie .nil
decorated gates.
A patient proportiuu of tbu- little
cluster wailed, huwever, for the arrival
of Iwu mure .ferries, and were rewarded
by a glimpse uf the lluebcss, her duugh
ler ami suite, who arrived by Ihc iliill

The Duchess was wearing a grey-
si riped suil and large black bat uml

white, with bal lo match, and a scarf
uf blue crepe de liicnc. Miss I'elly was
dressed in a suit uf black and white
serge, and wure a black hat and veil.
Afler leaving Ibe wbarf, where the
ruyal ladies bowed many acknowledge
menls, progress wus inuile up Lousdale
aveuue, along the ilsplanade wesl tu
Keith roud, ami tbence onto the I'upil
unu ruud. A short atop was made ul
lbe suspensiiin bridge, which Princess
Putriciu crossed in urder tu belter view
lhe basin uf Ihe Iiiiiiiiiii. canyon. The
journey wus Ibeu resumed and ul aboul
ilill lbe royal car slopped al the Can
you View Hotel.
Here lbe parly wua received by Mr.
I'eler I arson, proprietor of lbc hotel,
and Mr. ti. M. Sloaue, manager. Mr.
Larson piloted his distinguished visit
urn lu llie various points where the
niui views are obtainable. The high
rock, situated a short distunre from
the hotel, and which overlooks lhe
ciiiiyun, wus lirsl visited. Then dcieeul
wip. iiiiide inlo lhe basin of lhe mile,

Tea wus Ibeu daintily served ill lhe

suspicious occasion adorned wilh cedar
houghs and autumnal maple ieaies.
The lillle occasional tables were urt in
tnully decorated with dahlias and as

Afler tea their Highnesses were
•■huiiii lbc paintings ou Ibe walls of

Tbis liUle informal visil lasted only
a tride over three hours, but in that
brief period un excursion was made
which proved, iu tbe words of one of
tbe royal party, "the best we huve hud
since we came to the coait," Their
lligbuesses expressed greal wonder und
delight ut the beauties of the great
canyon, and It waa evident that tiic

IHIPMABfBBS' ASSOCIATION AND
BBOOND NABEOWS BEIDQE
The Vuncouver Shipmasters' Associa
tiou have hail under consideration a
plan uf the latest type of bridge pru
posed for Second Narrows, the plan
having been conveyed tu them through
lhe ii., ,iii,iii of lhe government offices ut
New Westminster. We publish elsewhere an account uf the iliicussiun as
it was rcpurted in a Vancuuvor daily.
As wus lu |ic anticipated from their
previous record with reference tu Sec
und Narrows bridge, the Vancouver
rlhipmaslers' Association experienced
no difficulty in discovering grounds for
uncompromising hustilily lo thc plan
submitted.
The members of the association sue.
reeded iu colliding, mentally, with Ihc
proposed centre pier with commendable
iiriiinptituilc. They declared thut Ihey
had kicked iiiiaiiimously against a
swing bridge in any form, and further
ihul Ihey were against that centre pier
n Ihe channel, ami for these reasons
Ihey at ouce bulled into the centre
'ier head uli. 11 appears, Ihorufurc,
hat ao far as the Vancouver Ship
lusters Ai.-..,'iiiiinii ia couceriicil the
: nt has gone forth, uml, like the an-
mill laws of Ihc Medea ami Persians,
i. changes nol ,00 mailer what may
iiuusplro, or wlial developiucnls may
I uke  place.    The association  has  de
bridge at HimniidJiarriiHii._TJiii bridgo,
however, is giving every satisfaction,
both to water and laud Millie; nn accidents aru im uiiliul ami nu undue delays are experienced. The situation at
rjecuiui Narrows is no more difficult
than that ou the Fraser, while lhe proposed span of 21111 feet is a greal dual
wider than the spans of the Fraser
lliver bridge. |t muy further bu cited
that condition! at Ihc First Narrows
of Hurrard Inlet with refereuce to
tides, etc., are i>iiire«limeull Ihun Ihey
are at Second Narrows, yet navigation
has proceeded through Firsl Narrow,,
up lu the present in ever iucfeuaing
volume without serious inconvenience,
ami Ihc width of slreuin regularly used
by tugs with lows docs not by any
inuuiis measure mill feel iu width.   .
Thu musl iiiiiiilde objection urged
agaiusl lhe plans liy Ihc members of
the association,'huwever, was that iu
which North Vancouver was specifically
inenlionuil. One speaker objected lo
lhe expenditure in building lhe bridge
ou lhe ground lhat it would "chieHy
benefit Nurth Vancouver," and a sec
uml speaker did not see why llic hur
bur should he spoiled wilh a bridge
"for the sake of Nortli Vamouver."
Willi reference lo Ihc distribution
of the bciiclils lo accrue from the
bridge lhe Vancoover Sbipmuters'
A..", luiiun i, evidently at variance
with lhe opiuion of Ihc ex muyor uf
livured ilaelf of what  in the OpinionI tltut cily, who declared thai by means
' >if the members is lhe lasl word wilh
reference tu bridge n.altera, ami il
evidently remains uuly for Ihe I lum in
inn n.i. i u.in. ui tu comply absolutely
with every detail of Iheir opinions or
lo incur their very grave displeasure.
The fact that Ihc Hoard uf Ilailway
' .,iumi uuii' i convened in Vancouver,
where every convenitnet wus afforded
all objector) lo be heard, held sessions
which llic Vancouvor Shipmasters' As
fm iei iuu was pleased to ignore, ami
Ihul al Ihuse sessions lhe board hand
cl down a deliberate decision appmv
ing a bridge with a single opening Iiiui
feel in width- Ihis Important fact does
mil uppear lo he worthy a feather's
weight of Influence upon lhe pari of
llie.se ,H,v|f constituted censors in bridge
milters, ll dues nut appear lu have
occurred In tlie Vancouver Shipmasters'
Auu. laliou lhat il is presumption upon
Ibeir purl In adopt an lltitudg which
implies thut the Huard of Ilailway
'I'oliiiiiisiiuncrs in., i reverse ils finding
in Ihia mailer, while lhe assuciuliuu is
privileged In remain inflexible.
The position of lhe association wilh
refereuce lo a centre pier begs lbe
i|i)e.|i.m There mu-1 be a pier of some
sort, approximately in that positiou.
The contention nf llie aasuoialiuii is
lhat Ihc pier under consideration should
bo llfly fool i.'Mi..i removed, that is
kll. Whelher ii la.an ordinary pier
wilh a Died bridge span beyuud il, or
a centre pier wilh another draw span
beyuud il, docs not affect the fail that
a pior mual >,c located in Ibal vicinity.
The lueal ion of Ihc pier, therefore, and
mil the existence nf ■ pier or Ihc ui
lure of lhe pier, is Ihc real (jUMtlou
The puailloii is taken iu well informed
circles outside Ihe Shipmasters' Asso
cialioii lhal lhe use uf a ienlre pier
wilh Iwu draw spans each HOO foci in
width would be uf much greater benefit
lo'navigation Iluu wuuld a single draw
of ItiD foci in width, while al the same
time il affurds in arrangement which
providei every security for all kinds
of trallic across the bridge at a reuou
ible cosl uf conilruction.
The objection! urged by the iMocia
lion as against t swing bridge trt iuch
ai might lie urged against praclically
all swing bridges spanning navigable
waters marked by a current. If ship
ping may be somewhat delayed when
ine>|.un is closed, then land traffic may
also be loinewhat inconvenienced when
Ihc ipan is open. This is the situation
in all those mauy rases iu which swing

To Those Whom
it May Concern
To try (o do business without
advertising is like winking in the
dark, you know what you are
doing but im one else does.
To let the people know what
•you are doing you must reach the
people effectively.
The Express circulates at almost every house on the North
Shore.
Therefore to do business effectively on the North Shore you
must advertise in The Express.

Railway Receipts

Aa Ihc month of July liegun a new
lineal yeur fur Ihc railways and alau
frum ull imliculiona a period of reviving traffic, il is proliulile lhal railway
tcluins will he closely watched, espc
dully during the mouths of llic presidential cani|iaigii, fiut the uninitiated
reader whu Iries from the newspaper
r.I'uii" of carniuga und expense! tu
keep truck of the liosiuesa of lhe rail
ways has a perplexing task, for in une
and the same issue of a newspaper he
not Infrequently limit statements of
earnings ami expenses that may refer
tu different periods separated liy weeks
or monthi, or maybt a year or more.
The accounting departments ul' many
of the principal railroad companlei
make up al Ihc close of each week es
limutcs of the receipt! for lhal week
uml louietimei include estimates uf Ihe
expenses, These are primarily for I he
information uf Hie officer! and direrllira
of the companies, Imt are fjequenlly
sent lu Hie newspapers. Thua appear
eitimatei and cumulative estimates I'ur
lhe lirsl, secoud, third uml fuurllt weeks
of each month und fur Hie entire
month. These are lull estimates in
gross, uud us such serve us Ihe eurliesl
approximate, indications of increase ur
docrease in Ihe volume of I raffle. They
ure widely regarded liy liuaiueai men as
li barometer nf lhe general business ol
Ihc country. From .these eitimatei
i annus financial newspapers frequently
compile tallies showing approximately
lite earnings ami expenses of a uumber
of roads selected as representative.
As soon after Ihc close of each month
us practicable each railway company
ia obliged lu send lu the lulerslule
I'limiiierce I'ouiluiaaiou u repurt of. its
lulni opcralinp revenues iluring that
month wiih separate specification of
the receipts from freight, passengers,
mail ami express; ut ils lulni operating

and of operating income which il the

The filing of these muni lily reports
wil|i Ihe Inlerslale I'uiiiiueree ('i)inniis

newspaper publications of earnings and

Thete publirttiooi also contain MB-,

which it epnMniiftlly innrming rP 0
grtater'or Ion extent. The earnings
and expenses are thui alio reduced to
concrete and comprehensible units of
measurement.
for example, in it! summary of earning! apd expenses for .lune. till", the

This ii univalent in a decrease in the

As sunn after the close of the lis

Big Fortunes in Little
Inventions
Mr. W. A. llu I'ay, a writer iu the
Scientific American, point! uut liuw
muny furl mica have been made from
Utile, ii,dul, iveryday invention!. Mr.
W ll I'ultuer, uf Baltimore, was the
inventor of a cap fur beer ur auda
water bullies which hus made him a
millionaire. He carried lhe |Hit.iil iu
his pocket for nix yeara before he sue
reeded iu placing it nu (he inurkel;
when il was placed I'almer ami Ins
.ap,iati.nl had a profit of many I lions
audi ul' dullara between liiein un tlie
first year's business. The difference
between Ihc uid »truT"lil and lhe
crinkly hairpin made a fortune for uu
inventor, who look hii cue frum his
wife's difficulty in lhe use If lln
article.
Thaddeua Fairbanks was a New ting
land farmer who, iu the silent watches
of the nigbl, thooght oul Ihe primipl
of Ihc now well known Fairbanks
•ralea. The rubber eraicr on the cud
of a pencil made a furluuc fur ita in
Iroducer, II. I.. I.ipmaii, of 1'liila
lelphia; while llcatin, of i'roviileticc,
wbu devised thc llttlt metal staple Ihul
holds ou slim' buttons, realized a fur
tunc thereby. Klias Howe evolved the
sewing machine frum the idea of placing a hole near the point uf a needle;
otberi followed, and brought the
machine atill nearer perfection.
Adaiiii, who brought uul a palcnl in
1671 for chewing -gom, made a greal
fortune from it.
Tbe mau who invented an opener for
tint did well, Is also the inventive
genius who made a can with a seam
just below the top which, when Hie
owner wanta Id yj/cu lhe Iiu lie bus bul
to strike, when the stgm breaks and
tbe top conns off. A Chicago packer
ordered tin million of tlicac cana iu

Already this i|ucstiou has been taus

economic development of the Dominion
is such a gigantic task, ami it ia absorbing such an eininnuus untuunl ol

These loim ami investments have
