' CONCERT
MASTERLY ADDRESS FROM DR.
ELLIOTT ROWE
A function of outstanding interest,
•ignillcant uf tbu v.eii iiiini,i, ,1 optimism with which the future of tbo North
-,'<*''dime is ununiiuously regarded, took
pbii e on Wednesday evening in tbe
runins of tlie publicity bureau. The
event referred to wus u smokiug concert arranged under tlte auspices of the
North Vancouver Civic Advertising
Committee und purposed to iutroduce
Mr William Lawlcr, tho city's publicity commissioner, to those whom he
had nut already met. Thu evening in
its entirety was one of the most successful of its kind ever organized un
this side of the inlet.
Proceedings buving been opened
with u pianoforte selection liy Mr. W
Wunl, the cbuirmuii, Mr. Alexander
Philip, briefly outlined the evening's
progrum, ami Htutetl that thu commit
teo hail received $2,500 already and
expected tu raise the amuuut to (0,01)11
' towards the efficient carrying out of
the year's work.
A summary of the progress, en
deevor* uml acbievonienti of the joint
civic advertising committee since its
' inception iu lllllll aak, supplied by Mr
A. U. Perry. She program for ihis
year, sni,I Mr/rcrry, was a departure
from forincJ'yeurs, work on a brooder
scale being contemplated, lie earnestly ap|iealeil to the busiucss men ol
the city for financial assistance in this
new venture.
Tho publicity eiuiiiiii:,. ,iiiiii-i-, Mr.
I.owler, dwelt upon the necessity of
embracing opportunities as they occurred, und detailed tile means be cun
teniplulcd using us media for bringing
North Vancouver prominently befure
the public. With this essential pur
' pose in view, illustrated and descrip
live matter would be sent broadcast,
and descriptive articles witb views
could bo published in several period
, icals. Tbere Was, he believed, a great
ib miinil for information on this part
of the country. The kind of icttier
was an important factor in the upbuild
iug uf the place, Quality rather than
quantity was desirable. Many people
came here lo get all they could for
nothing. It was not wise, he believed
to give out too glowing uccounts of the
district, Many disappointments .
penetl ou account of this. Many would
belittle the tourist trallic, character
uing it aa transient and nut permun
■Wit. This might be Ihe ease taking tho
visilurs as individuals, but collectively
the luurist traffic wus permanent audi"11' subjeel
every means should be adopted, .to Jims
cut the Utlvantages uf North Vancou
ver. "At the present time," said Mr.
I,nclet-, "I am negotiating wilh twu
industrial liauis contemplating cstab
liKliiucnl in North Vancouver. Ouo of
these will employ ubout liul) men. Tho
main tiling lhat the cily wunls, bow-
ever, for the encouragement uf indus
tries is railway facilities."
Mr. Idwler urged the people of
Nurlh Vancouver lo patronise their
own city'i business establishments,
und so enable the firms to build up to
lhe requirements of the people. In
conclusion hu advised tbem not to become "linm I.en.," not io much be
cause of,the harm Ihey did, but be
cause' of thc amount uf good they did
i not do.
f 0 lit. lluwe, who, ai a witty poit
prandial speaker and epigrammatic expounder of iiiiiiiiiiiii sense, is no Strang
or to tbe Nurth Hhore, delivered an ml
ilress of -ii iiniied interest. The inter
est! of Norlh Vancouver wero, be ssid.
Ln ii I" ni with thu intereita of Vancouvor, What was injury for oue was injury to the other, and tho same in respect to development. That wai tho
,- idea of tho Progreu (Hub of Vsncouver. While being representative of
Creator Vsncouver now the aim wai
to expand snd bo able to furaiib jn
foriiinlion of all parts of lirilisli I'ul
"inlii.'t. The iniiuediiiie activity uf the
club wai-tbe encouragement of indus
trlei throughout Greater Vsncouver.

it wss criminal to give out false in-

„would fnll most directly on the com'

that wben sn inquiry csme iu it would
bo possible to refer to the office files

facta which would bear on tbe psrticu-
Isr ease. There ought to be some way
to givo out information regarding laud,
how much cau bo grown to tho acre,
etc.
t.'oniparing one small man wltb one
small axu witb his talk of clearing
uut a home In British Columbia's vast
forests, the spuaker declared that it
was a criiuiual wastu fur the laud tu
-llnul idle as it is fur the want uf clear
ing. It was a fact that with properly
nlle,l land mure cuuld be produced to
the .,.imu, foot iu British Columbia
than in auy other part of thu world.
"We are getting after the govern
ment," he stated, "to doviso some
means whereby it can be made easier
for the settler to till the soil." In
other countries the settlers were aided
by the guvernmeuts with luuns, It
wus just us inipurlant tu eneouraugu
tho tilling uf the suil as tu uneuurags
railways.
Great things were cx|iectetl upun
the upeuiug uf the Panama canal. Some
cities would be disappointed, perhaps,
and if Vancouver was one of the dis
api'iiitiii-.l ones, lir. Howe considered
site wuulil liave unly herielf tu blame
"if this purt is as impurtaiit as we
think it is," the speaker declared
"the Dominion shuuld spare no money
In making it a great harbor,' ' For
some time past the II. P. K. were slow
to give au ear tu the repeated requests
fur coiisideratiuu uf the western purt
for the lurge grain shipments from tin-
Middle West. They were now submitting tu the inevitable. "It is nut
enough thut we have great natural
productions; we must have shipping,
und tu bave cargucs coming iu we must
have cargoes guing uut. If a ship can
get a cargu uul uf this purt it will car
ry a cargu in. There is every reasun,"
declared Dr. Bowe, "to believe that
there will be sbippiug fur every fuul
uf waterfruutage aruuud Burrard Inlet." Vancuuver shuuld likewise be
interested iu thc prumutiuu uf shippiug
facilities uu the Kraser immediately
tu Ihe suuth, aa uu Hurrard Inlet im

atiuu fur each.
The club was huldiug noonday
lunches every twu weeks. At these
business matters were discussed. On
Juue 6 the tuur uf the cadets cuuld lie
'fhe speaker cuitsidercd
that yuung people uf widely sctll
countries should become familiar willi
escb other.
Ilr. Howe paid a tribute to the pro
gross buing made by Ibe club uf North
Vancouver, lu closing he gave North
Vancouver a pressing imitation to
joiu in tbe progress work of (Ircuter
Vancouver.
Tbe remainder of an exceptionally
pleasant evening was spent in smoke,
speech aud suug.
Jt is a certainty that thc publicity
commissioner could not have desired
a better medium of introduction to bis
many now friends of Ihe North Shore.

perhaps the greatest of ull the results

Fifty years ogo the nature of ilis

In say tbut I'ustcur's discovery of the

In geographical exploration the opening up of Africa snd other purls of tba

dotcction of tbo carrying power of insects, ami energetic measures takeu for
tho oxtirpatiou of insect posts, bid
fair to opoa up great tropical belts'of
the en rib to human habitation; ami
thus, iu due lime, regions wbicb solar
power can make fertile beyond any
thing known in temperate latitude*
will grow a rich harvest for men it
tho future.
Iu astronomy how much has been
accomplished! The motion iif stars in
the line of sight, the photography of
the heavens, the penetrating further
nmi further iuto the depths of space
by gigantic telescopes, the application
of tbo spectroscope to determine the
iininie of nebulae, anil tbu vast ideas
of stellar evolution urn! of the infinite

ployed before our eyes—all this, though
in i,ilm ,i by a few men of genius ul
u date precoding our era, has now penetrated to, and is beginning to influence the thoughts of the mon in the
street.
Electrical applications—lbc electric

I,. Ilr. Elliott S. lluwe at tho meet
iug hibl in lhe hull uf the Imal I'uii
licity tti,i,in, un Wednesday evening,
listened to a masterly presentation o|
lhe problem uf Community Publicity
in its relation to (ireuter Vancuuver,
uml lirilisli Columbia, whose educative
vulue wus uf lhe very highest order.
Ilf till the ilipuble suns wlllllll tiic
Lust has given the Wesl, there are few
indeed whose capabilities etjtial lints.'
which ure evidenced by the persuiiultty
uml wurk of Dr. Bowe.
ilr. Bowe is particularly ul homo iu
the field which Ih uhTunlcd his mental
capacity und his forceful energies, liy
the work iu which he is engaged. The
Statute u|' Liberty woultl appear cu
lircly uut uf pluee in u cily sipiurc lie
cuuse uf lack uf perspective, but sit
uated as il is al ilu entrance uf New
Vurk harbor, ils colossal proportions
harmonize with the immense <hack
gruiind uf illy and hurhor and il is
seen lu cxccllunl advantage. After the
same manner, une can scarcely picture
lir. Bowo uniting lhe minor details uud
I'ii ■ concerns whiili gu lu make up
lhe purview uf many lives. His is that
splendid type uf mentality which hursts
ull narrow hounds uml seines' with
avidity upun a mighty sweep uf vision
wjiuse circumference encircles trenten
ilu'in pruhlcius uml great issues, with
whicii he i'i;: i.t tu contend. IIia
powers nf foresight are iuch that he
sees fur intu the future, his puwers uf
,i .,,"l,i ure uf u currcspumliug calibre
uud he pcnotrutci lu its deepest dcplhs
flic problem upun winch his thought
is directed.' His powers of analysis aru
Of the most searching order reducing
tba subject fn its rudimentary priu
ciples, but ha Atnt not atop thorn, fut
his ininil is ossimtiully constructive and
out of tbe elements at hand be immediately proceeds to build somothlug bet
ter, if possible than that which he has
analyzed. He revels in grappling with
tremendous problems, he thinks great
thoughts, enunciates great principles,
perceives great possibilities, plans great
tbiugs, to all of which the work he has
in hand offers the largest scope ami
for these reasons tlio personality of tho
man finds itself in a most appropriate
setting, in tlie important office which
he occupios with such conspicuous ability. .
Thero aro fow of (lunaila'a sons in
titled, whose career promises to exert
such gruut und permanent influence for

does that of Dr, Elliott S. lluwe upon
not only tin-ni,-i Va mvur but on the
proviuee as woll.
Whilti fhe swing shelves aru the nearest empty, look well tu thu nails thin
llulil them up. It isn't much fun to
have a shelf coiuu down with u nice
lot of canned fruit on it.

NO COMMUNITY can be truly
prosperous that has net confidence in
ilself and ils local institutions: Thc very wont advertisement
lhat a cily can have is the fact lhat its people have to go elie-
where to have their wants supplied. When we see a place in
which the ordinary commodities dial should rightly be supplied
by their own merchants and manufacturers are obtained elsewhere,
lhe inference is naturally drawn lhat there must be something
radically wrong.
At this stage of her development Norlh Vancouver cannot
afford lo have the impression go abroad lhal our commercial interests rest on anything but the most solid foundation, and it behooves us all who have the welfare, of this community at heart—
and I am convinced lhal this will include everyone within our
borders—lo assist in every manner possible lhe building up and
strengthening of our local commercial institutions, and this end
can be best accomplished by lhe patronizing of our merchants
and manufacturers, by the citizens generally.
Of course the fault may not be always on the one side only,
and those who supply our needs must do their part, as wc cannot
expect die public lo sacrifice their interests in the matter, at
least if we do expect il we are bound to be disappointed as long
as human nature is constituted as it now is, bul this I am very
sure will nol apply lo Norlh Vancouver as wc can rest assured
that lhe men who are al the head of thc business affairs of this
cily are worthy of our utmost confidence. They have shown
their faith in the future of the Norlh Shore in the strongest possible manner by investing iheir capilal and by assuming thc burdens
of citizenship which owing to their extensive interests always rest
more heavily on iheir shoulders lhan on lhe shoulders of the rest
of a community generally.
( This being the case, il is only natural that all things being
ti|ii.ii, they should look for our patronage, nol in any charitable
sense, bul simply as a mailer of good business pnnciplc.
This has a farther reaching effect lhan mosl of us realize; it
is not only llic merchant personally who is benefitted bul directly/
or indirectly ;1 effects practically lhe whole community, for instance, as the merchant's or manufacturer's business increases they
musl employ more help, who musl have houses to live in, clothes
to wear, food to eat, and the many other necessities and comforts
of life, nilii i people will be required to supply these needs, and
so lhe thing goes on indefinitely in a sort of endless chain. And
ibis is only one of lhe many ways in which thc increased prosperity
of our business men will help the city at large.

Recently, Hou. William It. Ross,
Minister of Lands, discussed with enthusiasm the organization of the forest
branch, which has just taken place, nu I
lhe plans for immediate work Ihut
Hayo been tlocided upon wuru oiitliuuil
to a Colonist representative.
Since he hrst took up Ilie duties of
his office eighteen months ago, Mr.
IIiii-h, realizing' the urgent need for
forest conservation in British Columbia
baa been studying every uspect of th'i
problem and working steudily toward*
the establishment of n fnresl service
for the province which will eiiHiire fit'
perpetuation of its magnificent forests
sud the permanency of its important
lumber iinltiBtry. Ths creation of thc
forest liruni'lt embodies the fruition of
his labors, uml entitles Mr. Rosa iu n
very real sense to recognition as the
father of forestry in Hritisb Columbia,
A brief review of flic important stages
which have led up In the taking of this
upniiii.i step in advance by the Min
ister of Lamls will be of particular in
tercel at this moment.
Orowth of Forest Policy
I'ulil llic coming into puwer of llic
Hon. Richard McBride in 1003, little
attention liml been devoted lo foresl
matters. The important purl lliul lim,
Iter wealth coulil piny in the develop'
iiii-nl nf tiic provided, lhe need fnr its
protection from lire, ami the necessity
of encouraging u wholesome growth of
the lumber industry hud not up In llmt
time received proper recognition by
provincial governments, As a result,
the province was suffering enormous
liiiiiiiiil loss frnm forest fires, ami the
return bnlh in public revenue uml in
commercial prosperity from the foreal
capilal wus very low.
Mr. Mcllride was the firsl of tbe pro
vinco's statesmen lo realize that the
greatest asset of lirilisli Columbia lies
in her forests, und to institute a vig
orous policy both for their conservation
a,nl for the development nf their full
est usefulness to the people The re
suit was the forest legislation of 1000,
whicii at one stroke, by producing u
revenue of two uud a half million del
lure, placed Hie province on a sound
financial basis, enabled lhe government
to enter upon ils far sighted pro
gramme for opening up new regions for
settlement by means of mails, surveyi
ami oilier public works, attracted dip
ilal, and led directly I'o thai campaign
of investment ami il.ni influx ul' popti
lafioit which have placed British Co.1
umbia iu the proud and prosperous
position she occupies today.
Poreatry Commission
The next step in Ihe government'»
11,,;-i.ii,,iii, was llic appointment of
for. t-f rv commission to study Hie n-l
utiiimtrative ijucstious involved in llic
practical application of the modern
conservation theory to lhe forests of
litis province. The commission, il will
be remembered, submitted its 'report
at the end of 1910, within a week nr
two of the acceptance of tho portfoliu
of mioister of lands by Mr. Rosa. The
new minister was naturally desirous ol
giving the fulleKt possible considers
tion to the forestry problem before
faking action, and as llic aossion of
luy followed close upon his reception
of the commission's reporl, if was ilr
cidcil to devote the rest of thul year
to the maturing of propoaed legislation
ami lo confine Immediate work in Hie
field lo the enlargement ami more care
tul organization of tire patrol.
Assistance from II. S.
In dealing with Ihoso mailers tin'
minister of lamls placed himself it.
touch wilh the chief officials of Hn
United States forest service, a service
whose conspicuous efficiency has cam
ed for il lhe jusl reputation of being
one of the best organized sdminialra
live bodies lhal Hie world can snow
To the Hon (iilTord I'nn liul and lo the
well known forestry expert, Mr. Out
ton Price, belong the credit of creating
this great organization,, and it was Ilie
lullir gentleman whom Mr Ross lit
vited last autumn to assist him In the
task of framing plaus and securing the
best expert personnel for the foroal
service of British Columbia. The foe
est. of the province are Vital to its
prosperity, ami the firm determination
of the minister of lands wus to endow
Ihem and safeguard them with a fori »t
service second to none.
The opening of the present year suw
the Introduction of the comprehensive
Forest Act, which is recognized on all
hands as tbe last word in forest legis
lationj.ils clean-cut provisions with re
gard to fire protection receiving in pur
tictilar the trjbule of goneral opprobu
tion. Tbe act passed, Mr. Ross at one)
faced the question of organisation, am!
since the arrival of Mr. Price to tske
up. his duties in the province, pluus for
tbe new forest service have been fully
worked out, ao thst it can outer at
once upon its duties'
Organisation of Forest Branch
Tho branch will consist of four main
offices, between which a logical and
effective distribution of work has beeu
-H
mailo. Tho offlco of operation will be
charged with tho protection of forests
from Are. Most Important work confronts this oi'ti'i' in improving methods
of lire patrol throughout the province
It is proposed tu follow the example of
the United Status forest service, uml of
the voluntary associations of timber
owners iu the Western States, iu increasing tho efficiency of patrolmen by
covering the forest districts by u net
work of trails, which ure no less neons
sary to efficient lire patrol ut reason-
able expense than tho patrolmen them
selves. Field Telephone Hues uml look
out stations will be bui|l ns rupiilly
us possible so that men can bo summoned i|ini i.u to the ilm,,-, i points in
the lire season.
The duty of huinlliiig lugging slush
ill the besl iuteresta of the forests,
which has been placed upon lhe foresl
protection fund liy the legislation of
lust session, will lie met by uu annual
-•umpiiipn for the disposal of slash ul
suitable seastins and by lhe enforce
ment uf the provisions of lhe acl lo re
move litis menace lo the safety of lhe
forests. It is peculiarly gratifying to
the minister iu this connection Hint the
Dominion railway commission has re
contly drafted regulations for the cun
Iroi of railway operations in lhe prov
nice, ami Mr, Clyde I.euvitl, the t'oresl
'Xpert who hue just been appointed
thief fire inspector for Hie commission
is due to arrive in Victoria tomorrow
The commission will shortly appoint .
special lire inspector fur this provim,'.
whose duty it will be lu establish and
supervise putrol on ull railway rights

Extensive Duties
The ollice of forest management in
Ihe new branch will be Ln - ■ will,
all timber matters. This is vitally iui
j-.muni work, since il involves uul unly
the supervision uf scaling and timber
inspection, bul also lhe duty of pru
viiiittg iigaiusl the exhaustion of our
forest resources by unneccajiary tie
structiou and waste in harvesting tin
present mature crop. The lime will in
evifably initio iu British Columbia, us
it has already iu the Uniled Stales,

sucoesa of lhe branch is still further

have been selected by Hie minister, und
entrusted w'lth fhe administration uf
its iiiiini The chief of operation, Mr.
R. I Benedict, has had more than fen
years' practical experience in western
forestry. As a general Inspector in
Ibo United States forest service, Mr
Benedict has played a prominent par'
in organizing the national . forests,
which now comprise a total area of
nearly two bumlrod million ucrea. In
matters of fire organization, Mr. Bene
dirt is not only a specialist, but his
capacity to handle the practical prob
loins which confront British Columbia
in tbis connection has been folly.dom
oitslraled by his remarkable success in
■ inline- wilh similar conditions in the
■ituies immediately t,o the aoolh.
Mr, John I<ufoii, also a profession!!1
forester, bas been placed in charge of
Ibe office of forest management. Hctc
also is a man of high attainments',
whoso training and long'experience peculiarly fit -iiiin to handle in a practical
