DEEDQINO OFEBATIONB AT PIBST
NABBOW8
The Nortb Shore of Burrard Inlet is
vitally interested in the improvement
of tbe entrance to tbe Inlet by the
dredging of the First Narrows, sud
it is, therefore, only to be expected
tint the proposition which has recent
ly been made by i committeo of tin
city council of • Vincouver tbit the
dredge Mistodon be loaned to the
Qreat Northorn railway for a time be
fore commencing operations at tbe
Nirrows, should he viewed askance upou this side of the Inlet.
Tbo representations which have repeatedly been made to tho effect tbat
the dredging of First Narrows is a
matter uf great urgency in tha iutercsts
of tbo harbor sre thoroughly sound
ind they exist iu, full force uul effect
today.
The fact that the dredge immediately upou being finally overhauled at
Ksi|uitnalt, was Bent to Alhorni for a
few months' work, iiislesd of being
placed iu commission it once on the
First Narrows, called forth a storm uf
protest from all those quarters in
which the latter work is i matter uf
interest and tbo grouud uf thnse pru
tests is as sulid as ever.
Notwithstanding the fact, however,
lhat several valuable months have already been lost, and notwithstanding
the tint that tho work is thereby'rendered oven more urgent than was previously, tbs case ami notwithstanding
the fact thst further delay is oven
more iuulvisible than was that which
haa already occurred, it is proposed that
the Mai-til.lun shall be handed over to
tbe Great Northern Itiilwiy t'onipiny
for such length of time as may he ro
quired to dredge a channel In front
of their property near the sugar refinery.
Tho length uf lime stitcd by those
interested iu the success of tbis pro
position is five weeks, but once ou the
ground the dredge would ho expects1
to remain until Ihe wurk was finished
and it is by no means certain lhat
the actual timo consumed would fill
short of twico thai length of time.
As somo weeks must yet elapso before
Iho repairs it present being innio on
Ihe drdge will he eoniplcled, in addition to which another overhauling
requiring several weeks would duiil.t
less be necessary it the close of tho
prupused operations for the Orctt Nor
ilii-rii Ilailway Company, It is evident
(hit if this proposition is carried in
to effect, four to five months will
elipse before tbe Mustodun will actually he it work it First Nirrows.
This delay, added lo thai which has
already been eipericnced since tbe
dredge arrived ou tbe coast, is t very
isrious mitter ind should not be con.
sidered by Ibe government unless il
cm bo shown thit tho work to he
done is of more importance ind of
greater urgency thsu tbit for which
Ihe Mistodon wis constructed and un
less It is further shown Ibat the pre
I'l.M'd wurk cannot he icromplishcd
tlinaigli any other medium.
In point of fict, it is very 'difficult
lu underslind how it can bo ihown
Ihtt tbe project of twisting a great
railway corporation to get I channel
dredged lo its proposed wharf silt
witb somewbtt greater expedition
thin would otherwise be the cue, is
a matter of greater importance from
tbe viewpoint of tbe federal autbori
lies, tbtn tbe improvement of the
entrtnre to the great national pacific
poit of i 'aiiada. Tbe dredging In ques
tion is work wbicb tbe Oreat Northern
Btiiwty Company will find it pete*,
sary lo do whether the services of Ibe
Mutodon are secured or not. It is
mil contended tbat Ihere sre uo other
dredgee which are capable of doing
thl work. Tbe position taken by Ibe
Company's solicitor as reported in
tba daily preei wu ta tbi effect thai
"the ground tbere being sandstone
and boulders tbe Mutodon Is about
tka inly dredge around bate aaCelast-
ly powerful to make good Ume on tbe
Job."..That is to say, private enter
prist bu provided dredges wbicb are
capable at doing the work, bat tbey
will require a somewhat longer period
of tea for its completion tban tbe
government dredge. It therefore, re
aulas to be dotnonstrated ia tbia con-
lie, nun that it is uiivisabo far the Dominion government to stihjoct to yet
further unnecessary aud vexatious delay, tho performance of tho important
end urgent public work for which the
Mastodon wus constructed iu order tu
enter into competition wilh private
enterprise in tho dredging business
for tho purpose of saving the 'Oreat
Northorn Itailwtiy a few weeks time
upun wurk which they purpose doing
in any case.
There is another phaso of tha mai
ter which may lie mentioned here. According lo the report of Ihe proceedings uf the conference at which this
proposition wus discussed, the solicitor
for tho Oreat Northern Ilailway wus
good enough tu intimate that in consid-
eratiuti of Ihu Mastudon being loaned
as fequested, the railway company
wuuld consent tu certain puiuts raised by uldcrmou with reference to tho
carrying out of the agreement between Vancouver uml the Oreat Nor
them Huilway Company re False'f'reek
tun. inin h as the civic elections are
near al lum.I, and inasmuch as there
is a pi.ilml.iliis lhat certain phases of
Ihe False Creek agreement will run-
stitufe one uf the issues in these elections iu Vancouver ami inasmuch as
Ihis proposed use of the Mustudnii
would manifestly have u certain hearing on this mailer, the question is al
once raised whether it is advisable
that tho Dominion Government ahould
he drawn intu this situation just at
tho present juncture.
The Oreat' Northern Ilailway Company entered into an agreement with
tho clly of Vancouver, iu which the
railway euinpany assumed certain oh
ligations in consideration uf certain
rights ou False Creek. Tho question
as lu whotbor Ihe railway eoinpuny
hu or has not complied with the
terms uf that agreement is i business
matter which lies strictly between the
cily of Vancouver ami the Ilailway
Company. The agreement made no
provision thai Ihe carrying oul of tho
Hailway Company's pari Ihereuf was
lu he contingent upon assistance frum
the Dominion government and it is assuredly inadvisable that auy sucb arrangement should bo made it the pre
sent juncture fur reasuns cited above.
Ilccciil advices received on the
North Shore direct from Oltawi con
vey the assuroure that the Mastodon
will commence wurk un the 1'irthii
Hi,ml, as soon as Ihe minor repairs ire
rouiplotc and thai Iho dredge will he
kept constantly at wurk un the Nar
rows until Ihe wurk is completed.
Frum the standpoint of tho North
Hhore and from Ihe standpoint uf the
bruuiler Interests of the harbor as i
whole, there ire no sufficient rcisons
why this programme should lie changed
while on the other hand there is every
good reason why it should he idhered
lo in all respects.

are apparently organized bands of
li.ir.-c and wagon stealers aud there

North Vancouver is always pleased

eovored ibat the Worth pbore affords

profitable employment of Iheir energy
and ability. Tba I'ti't sjster eity to

lies recently removed to join Iptm
with Mr. /. O. Wood In the business
which will bo known as the Wood
Paige Shoe Company.
Mf. Pail* was for s'« years «d'itor
and manager of the Daily News at tbo
royal eity, having been one of the original promoters of that venture. In a
loading article In the editorial column* of Ibat paper on Nov. 8th appears a glowing tribute to tbe conspicuous manner in which Mr. Paige bad
carried tho paper tu a high degree of
success in tbe face of strenuous opposition and many obstacles. With ref
ernnce to tbe influence exerted ou civic
ulTuirs by Mr. l'aige In liis capacity ot
editor, the editorial states "tp Mr.
Pslge belongs the credit of persistent
ly urging that slope be taken to throw
off our village appearance by the construction of permanent roadway* and
.sidewalks. One of his slogans was
"Ijct us wake up and bo a city" aad
every citisen, no mailer what was bis
creed or politics, rejoices at tbe mar
vellous change that has eome about."
To Mr. Paige'a qualities aa a writer the
article I est i lies "Mr. Paige wu »
Irenchunt writer and to those wbo came
within thu sweep of his pen tt times,
it may have seemed thtt ho was more
forceful tbtn pleasant, but believing

The removal of Mr. Paige to North
