NORTH VANCOUVER PUBLICITY NEWLY APPOINTED COMMISSION ER MAKES MANY NSW FRIENDS OPTIMISM THE KEYNOTE OF WEDNESDAY NIQHT'S SMOKINQ ' 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. Tbe Progress I'Jtil,, ho explained, WSa !. md. a debating society, neither did it interest itsclfjiu arguinuntative mat tcrs. its aim1 was to build up. Bpcak- ing of publicity, tbe doctor declared it wss criminal to give out false in- •' formation, The ill effect of this „would fnll most directly on the com' munity1 Itself. To sivejtise tbst in- |, , <lutftrj.es would prosper when aa a mat • jt tor of fact thoy would not, wsa the worat adyertjiement for the commun f ity sending out stwh jnstter. Rsther ' DISTRICT COUNCIL BUSINESS ststistici ihould be compiled end available |n tho eoiiimiisiniier's office, io that wben sn inquiry csme iu it would bo possible to refer to the office files smi stste aucb facta si to tbe consumption of sny given product or sny other 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 mediately tu the north, iu this respect, Vancouver, North Vancouver ami Wesl iiniisii-i ahould work iu harmony, Speaking of the object! uf thc Prugress i i.ii. in Vancuuver, lie slated tbat quarter! bad beeu leased iu which to show exhibits of every lection in Hiiii-li Columbia ami detailed iufurm 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.

Fifty Years Of Science BOME BTATEMENTB OF BIB OLIVES LODOE J hnve been usked what science Inii lone for buinun progress iu lbc las! flfly years, writes Hir Oliver Lodge. Well, let us glance round and see what answer inn reasonably be given to such a .(ini,tinn tui,ing tlie sub jeeta in nny order in whlcb Ihey happen to occur, fill) years ago llurwiu's evolution theory was born in deed, bul was puss ing through u tempestuous childhood. II wus opposed nol so much on scien- lifie grounds, bul because il ran counter to natural prejudices ninl contra dieted some niisltikcn religious lunch ing. One fo the null of the last fifty yeurs lias undoubtedly been a clearing away of a great mnss of superstition.' growths which clung to and defaced fhe fair edifice of religion. - , The broadening and cleansing of man's outlook on the universe, tb? realization of his place iu the scheme of tilings, uud of the help wbicb is ex peeled from liis conscioos co-operation toward progress nnd enlightenment, nr" perhaps the greatest of ull the results nl' the lust lifty years. Fifty years ogo the nature of ilis case wis unknown, and fcruicnlulioii und many oilier organic processes wer: treated us purely rbomical, instead of us mainly biological. It is not'too much In say tbut I'ustcur's discovery of the nature of disease is in the set of ret tilulitiiii/iiig medicine; it throws light ulso upon lhe activity of soil in agriculture, tlie purification of rivers, tlte In'iilincnl of sewage, und u quantity of olher problems of great importance ■ While us I'or surgery, lhe genu Hi ory us uppiicd uin] enforced by Lister lu the treatment und infliction oi wounds bus enabled Ilie surgeon to per 1 form dpefs,lions with"ssfpty which be- foro were quite impossible, snd the ffffy effects, on tbe patient are oat pf ull comparison less painful snd distressing than Ibey wero ty tlte days wheu suppuration was regarded as a iioiiniil aod inevitable consoquonce, - In geographical exploration the opening up of Africa snd other purls of tba earth tbat bas occurred during tbo past half century haa bad results some of wbicb still iimiit need reform, though in the long run tbey must bo bouell cisl. Hero again discoveries in modi- clue are of profound importance ,Tbu 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 liuiini of the heuvens which is being 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 furnace, the extraction of nitrogen from the uir for tbe purposo of ugri culture, the transmission of powor, the utilization of water power by electrical means of locomotion und for many oth ■ or purposes-arc a|l practically tbo outcome of this period. Tbo Wpcoveilflj pf ?-riiys, of radio activity, and of tho prflbsjilo electrics! constitution of msttyr, still belong tp tin perlqd of quite woot history, Tbe greatest discovery in chemistry boo boor) tbst of tin rolatiqpabiji mining tbo atoms, associated with tint noma of Momlelev, wbcroby all tbo olc' monts aro exhibited as u group of fnui- ilios bavin;: piolinIde i elnliiiiinllip wilh each other, Bomo of tbem rolstod as ancostors anil descendants. Tbo prediction of uow olemonta thus rendorod possible, before tbeir experimental discovery was made, marks tbis as a tttf- class achievement. Aud (bo striking discovery of argon anil the othor inert constituteuts of tlie atmosphere has served ta justify the foresight of sucli a chemist of genius as Julius Thomson in u remarkable way. Many great chemical im limine, have sprung up through Parkin's discovery ef aniline dyes, uml much progress bus been mude in lhe invention und manufacture of high explosives. The rccog nitiou of hypnotism, ulso, uml of telepathy, is not to be ignored; ami though mere technical advance is no sure aud certain guaruutcc of human progress, yet wben,mankind bus learned wisdom enough tu. utilize its cnbunced powers und improved methods, not for sellisb aggrandisement uud greed, still less for competition nmi slaughter, but for tbo good of the whole liumun ruce, then undoubtedly these discoveries, liko ull others, must contribute to our well being.

AVENUE AND TERMINUS OF CAWUNO CAR LINE 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. Wc musl nol carry this loo far. however, we musl maintain an intercourse wilh our neighbors and the world in general in a business as well as in a social way; we musl exchange thc commodities which we produce, for those which we do nol produce; we musl nol say lhat we are su/ficient unto ourselves, lhal wc must nol even in a small way lake thc position that the Chinese nation did in olden limes when they said, "We are much more advanced in civilization lhan the rest of the world and so much superior in every way dial we do nol care to associate with them, we will build a wall, both figuratively and literally around our country to dial ihey cannot enter." We know how they carried! out ihejf intention and when some dipusands of years later they awoke to what was taking place in die rest of lhe, world, they lound lhal ihey weie hopelessly distanced by thai part of the human race lhal had earned on intercourse with one another and a general interchange of ideas and commodities.

North Vancouvsr, B. 0, Phone 80. r * *" - 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.
