Dick advised that tbe compsny should buy bsck nil its debentures snd issue a fresh con- > h,luted loan imiii iwo lo threo Ini'.- did thousand dollars as might bo wanted. Bepresenlstives of the ferry company Including Messrs. Wiliams, Lar son and Capt. Kickham and Secretary Kemp were iu attendance for the j.ri mary purpose of urging upon the city the necessity ol nn'.iu i provis.O'i lor a now ferry. There was much discus sion in which all agreed upon the need of a furry though Mr. Williams was not of so imperative a mood as his fellow directors. The discussion, in which the D>S»r joined as chat man of Ibe directors of tho compsny nnd iu which Hie councillors eventual ly participated, brought out Ihe facts of tbe Ferry Company's hopeless financial condition. Directors Larson and Kickham were insistent upon the inline.I late nei'ijsit.,' of takitig steps to start on the new ferry at once for even if tbat wero done it would be doubtful if the ferry would be ready much before 1013. The mayor himself was inclined to coincide with this opinion for he slat ed that if No. 3 wore to break down as she might do al Uny time since she wss only now limping along on otto boiler, the. would have but one com pel cut ferry in use. If one ferry were put nut of business the whol cily would be effected. He thought tbat no time should bo lost in pulling forwsrd a bylaw lo provide for a new boat. Sunday had ail but scllp sed sll previous records snd su it wss wilh every day. The Ira Die was increasing by leaps and bounds and next year must lje provided for. There was, however, said the mayor, a rsso Ilium, before the council from Ihe pen pie asking thst no more bylaws le put forward until confidence has been restored. ll hsd been suggested that the ferry compsny should flout its own debentures backed by tbe city. This ha I. however, been done. There was already a mortgage on the ferry. Tb!, statement appeared to be news to some of tho councillors and il was ig onwi'ieuco 'hai Mr. Ketnj was us". ed to read out Iho delsils of Ihe fu .in. :.il petition of Ihe ferry. Mr. Kemp's statement showed thai (198,000 of forty yesr debentures hau been ileal. I in llllli and thai to secure them and the interest on them there was a charge on all fuluro and promt assets of the ferry company. Tu Hod further debentures would only be It raise a second mortgsge win, b would present some difficulty. A siuking fund snd interest arc provided for an Dually for these debentures but there is none for Ihe city's loans which amount lo (1(7,110. It wa, at thi, jun.lure lhat Aid. Dick pointed oul tbat the whole financial system wss wrong. Aid. Henderson thought that al though il was right thai Ihe Ferry Compsny should come lo the council wilb their troubles limy should not uk for a bylaw. Wbst be would like to see would be Ibst the council should ssk Ibe ferry directors to prepo," concise and simple statement of llici position, Tbjs should be made public \t. the whole of Ilie rtlepsycr, •>' t't cily and ihould It. p'intnl and drcu' pled.

Ho stated further that the sum would be exhausted by tbe present day's .pay roii and be asked whother ho should lay off tbo waterworks force.

Aid. Dick, chairman of tho wstcr- works committee, said that he kucw that funds were short but he did not know thai the proposition of a bylaw was to be put forward. He said that il was evident that they could not complete their work without addition- si 'funds. Aid. Henderson recommended that the usual procedure be adopted and tbat the matter be referred lo tho Board of Works, but the chairman was opposed to this method, lie thought that the matter should be thrashed out there and then and ho re queslod lhat action,be taken llmt night to million.o tbo continuance Of Ihe work or that the force be bid off Aid. Smith moved thai Ihe mailer be brought before the committee ful further details ami the motion ea- ried. Fores Laid Off Aid. Dick then moved that Iho c■ gineer be authorized to lay off Ilu whole of the waterworks force excopt those absolutely necessary un'.!' such time as the council should arrive at a decision. This motion was alsocir ried. Various accounts having bcou di. cussed petitions were re' .."d. These included A. B. Dlplock and Mr. Irwin. Mr Williams and Contractor Romano. A meeting between Messrs.

Tjto cu gineer had said that he would hi. nut of Komatio's estimate on account of this fact. The whole question turned on Ilu .1 in.in..u of the word "exu..iti" nindi Aid Dick contended mcsnl t dig an open dilcb an I which Alderman Hcndersou de dared quite as stoutly meant cither tunnelling or ditching.

For Ihe benefit of all concornel it may be as well lo give Wcbst.ir'a definition which if very clear on litis point Under tho word cxca.l.'ion Ibo mesning of the word ss used by en- gineer, is given ss follows: '13. fro- glu) an uiii.n ere.i culling in Ibe ssrlb in distinction fronr a cowri'd cutting or tunnel." The last fou words are italicised which ought to convince even Mr. Romano. This definition completely upholds the ' mil en t mn of the engbiei-r. Aid.

Satisfied that our timber resources aro "practically inexhaustible" we have persistently dismissed us puerile those warnings that lime been raised with reference to extravagant and wasteful practices.

First, the pub lie mind is becoming informed with reference to matters of forestry and readily approves its basic principles, one of which is that all land should be devoted to its most profitable use. Another is even more potent namely, that It Is imperative to the stability and purity of the water supply of our towns and ejties and other municipalities that they should own their own watersheds' from which thsir water supply is derived. And yet another is found in the fact that "prevention ie hotter than cure" ami it is easily possible for British Columbia, by the ad option of scientific methods of forest preservation and of reforsttratioti to successfully protect itself for all time against any material shrinkage in her supply of Merchantable limber, while the accomplishment of thie desirable end will become increasingly d.flicult in proportion as the ineeptioi' of those 1ucih11.ls.un1l eniisini s is deferred FOB- immediate gain to deprive Canada of thnt immense advantage, of that un challeiigable supremacy and of those vast ami permanent benefits wbicb would inevitably fall to our lot, by holding matters as they are fnr unolher decade or two. The time honored maxim "Bide a wee" was never more apt or forceful than when applied lo Canada at the present juncture in II.is respect. The intensive methods in the cu! tivaliou of forests, to which the older countries of the world have been driven, in the effort to safeguard their timber supply to some degree, constitute a perpetual reminder that the present is the time for Canada tu grapple with and solve this stupen lines!, important problem. The municipal forests of Germany present th' most helpful illustratio. of tl.'iMj intensive method/. In that country ,'illages, towns, cities, states, corpora tines and even churches own and manage forests on the most scientifi' basis as a source of revenue. Ho pro filuble lias this method proven that s' land that is not valuable for agricultural or other uses has been purchased by private ur public bodies und plant ed to trees. Out of 1,564 communities in the stste of Bsden, 1,5:141 have their own forests which are under the supervision of the stale or imperial for est service, an organization of Inuhh trained men whose duty it is to see that the land is devoted to Ihe most profitable species of trees, that the mode of mtuagrmenl si adapted lot'lil various species, that the timber is cut only when it has passed its profitable period of growth, and that every cutting is immediately followed by natural or artificial regeneration of' young trees of valuable species. Under j the state officers arc locally employed j guards who follow the plans drawn up! by the superior officers, transact the' business, do the munua labor and pre leet the forest from fire or oilier tie struetive agencies.

Prom a cloudless sky the sun was coloring the mouii tains and the foothills, and glisten ing in it .thousand irridescetit flashes from the tiny wavelets of tho jplot When the lirst travel began. The heat which promised to be intense was fortunately tempered by a cooling offshore breeze, so, with the elements at their best and everything pointing t,i a gorgeous day. It was ferry load after Perry load which from the firm boat tilled the waiting cars at the foot of I,mis,Inle Avenue. Hy the end of, the evening when tlte i'ars finally stopped there was found to he a grand total of over nine thousand five hundred passengers eSrrieit. This iiiiuilmr is upwards of two hundred better than the previous best, ami looks as though it wuuld prove the record for the season The fact that that same season it rapidly drawing to a closo is doubtless accountable for the number of visitors who avail themselves of the glories uf the'Indian Huininer weather. Many who had journeyed hitherward before seined the opportunity to cross again and revisit tbe glories of the Capilano the Ly it it or the Heymour Ami there were many til-o to whom the North Share of the Inlet was undiscovered treritory and who had lieen loth to forego the pleasures of whicii they hud heard. Of the three carlines leaving the bottom of tlie Hill, it was the Capilano line yesterday which proved the most popular. The memories of the beauties of the Capilano Canyon is in many men's minds, ami the charms or its fir .l.-i.l glades, vistas of mighty mountains ami the gurgling streams which run through all, do not pall after many visits. One may see the same faces Sunday after Sunday up the valley, with many new ones to add to tbeir uumbcr.
