Thomas Taylor, Declared Kingsway Open for Traffic TW'i I GREATER VANCOUVER CHINOOK SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4. 1913 PUBLIC UTILITIES Reeve Kerr is a busy man. He has, we know, an inclination towards historical study, but not the time to delve into history for those examples which would so vividly illustrate his arguments on the necessity of "Publicly Owned Utilities." Let us venture to supply from history, some one very apt illustration. We have in South Vancouver a publicly owned water supply- Not perfect, but such as would have been regarded as a miracle by the people of London 300 years ago. Reeve Kerr spoke on the 300th anniversary of the inauguration of London's privately owned water supply���a system which in time had to be purchased for the people. What is the history of that supply. We will deal with the original shares, which rose in value beyond the dreams of avarice but merely state that 50O0 shares of ��100 each issued as recently as 1866 had risen by 1903 to a value of ��2,000,000 and that the public had to pay ��5,534,000 to buy up the New River Company, which was established by the outlay of a few paltry thousands. The New River Company demanded nearly twelve millions and the arbitrators gave them half what they asked! Reeve Kerr's lecture demands more time and space than we have, at the moment at our disposal. The subject of "Public Utilities" we shall deal with fully next week. Meanwhile we commend to the taxpayers the study of the history of the subject. Learn how London had to pay "through the nose" millions and millions to buy up monopolies granted for ferries, tramways and other public necessities when it became convinced that certain utilities must be owned by the public. In these matters history teaches us what to do and what to avoid. Reeve Kerr delivered a most enlightening address before the South Vancouver Board e'f Trade Ihis week on the subject of public ownership of public utilities. Outstanding in his remarks was the reference made to the B. C. E. R. This concern sought a monopoly of the local market feer electric power and light and gas. In quoting the rates charged by this company at the presenl moment, Reeve Kerr' slated that it would be suicidal for tbe municipality to place its neck in a franchise noose at the present time, or at any future time. Vancouver, he stated, was at present tied down by the 11. C. E. R. in the matter of street railway, power light and gas franchises. Vancouver was paying excessive rates lee this company, and thc Reeve hoped that South Vancuuver would benefit from the distressing experiences of the city. Reeve Kerr stated lhat possibly it vvas necessary for the company to charge higher rates than similar cor- poratlonfi in Seattle and elsewhere, owing to the high cost of operating expenses. He failed to see, however, where the people of South Vancouver should give up their good money to pay for the "wasteful extravagance clue to poor management." South Vancouver should own it- own public utilities and tbe Reeve gave facts and ligures to show where it could do so profitably. With regard to a municipally owned gas plant, the Reeve spoke exhaustively, but the members of the Board nf Trade did not seem to regard this enterprise as the most important em tbe programme. Considerable enthusiasm was shown in favor of the proposal to develop a municipal electric light plant. The Board vigorously applauded the project the council has in hand al lhe present moment to buy up industrial sites een lhe North Arm eef the Fraser. Reeve Kerr stated that he hoped the' ratepayers would heartily support him in tbe carrying out of the programme in band. First, be hoped that the ratepayers would lose no lime in signing up the petitions at present being circulated���it being necessary t.. have a petition with the nanus of one-tenth of the property owners upon it before thc necessary bylaws could be introduced. With the in tie ductioii of the bylaws. Reeve Kerr urged every public spirited citi- ) zen te. gel out and "he.Her for public ownership of pul lie utilities in South I Vance'liver." leclared Mayor Baxter. It would, be continued, prove a great assistance :ommercially to Vancouver and New Westminster, both e.f which had done all in Iheir power to aid the building of lhe highway. Afler Mr. J. J. Miller hael spoken Hon. Thomai Taylor was called upon 1.. formally declare the highway open ii. traffic and aa he itepped forward he was greeted wil li lhe singing eel ���lh'. a J..lly (b.eed Fellow." After congratulating lhe cities and municipalities e.n the completion e.i the paiing and referring tu lhe government'! interest in the undertaking the minister outlined ibe possibility nf a paved circular road freem Vancouver tei New Westminster via Kings- way, returning by the River reiad. An elaborate programme of road construction, continued the Minister of Works, had been carried out by lhe government eluring llie past two yean The public works of ibe province last year had cost $10,000,000 and of this large amount no less a sum than $7,000,000 had been spent on roads, trails and bridges. Ile als.e referred to the government's share in connection with the building of the transcontinental highway, declaring thai lhe heaviest and most costly pari of the undertaking had fallen on the shoulders of the government i.f the province owing to the mountainous slate of the country through which the road would run. As the representative of the Works Department and on behalf of the government Mr. Taylor then declared the Kingsway open to public traffic, at the same time expressing tbe hope tbat all those present would live long ���ee enjoy travelling on the splendid and magnificent highway. The procession then re-formed and proceeded over the highway to thc Royal City. COLLINGWOOD PARLIAMENT October weather at Estevan, Sas k. Yet we wonder why the Prairie people flock to British Columb ia in autumn Twelve Miles of the Finest King's Highway in all Canada Such ia Kingsway, Splendid piece of Permanent Paving Which Cements Together Varioua Units of Greater Vancouver leclared lhat that portion "f Westminster Road within the cily boundary would henceforth be known as Kingsway. Five hundred and sixty-three auto- nnibiles carried civic and municipal representatives, members of Boards "I Trade and nther organizations. A start was made shortly afler 10 o'clock from the corner of Howe and Georgia streets and thc procession wenl by way of Granville street to Broadway and thence to Westminster road, a brief slop being made on Main street at Seventh avenue to allow Mayor Baxter to declare Westminster road a part of Kingsway. All the motor cars were profusely decorated with flags, the long procession presenting a most imposing sight. It was 11 o'clock wdien the procession arrived at the stage where the opening ceremonies were to take place, the corner of Kingsway and Boundary road, where a temporary platform had been erected. The chairman declared that the value of tbe newly paved highway could not be computed in dollars and cents. As a connecting link between Vancouver and New Westminster its value could not be over estimated. Reeve Macgregor of Burnaby congratulated tbe municipalities and cities upon the completion of the road and pointed out its importance as a highway, bringing the cities and municipalities into closer relationship with each other, which would result in the future in a Greater Vancouver. "This road is an illustration of what can bc done by co-operation." S'.uib Vancouver was definitely and permanently placed upon ibe map on Tuesday last when lhe great Kingsway was declared open. Thousands of people and half a thousand motor cars drew up at Boundary road. Central I'ark. when leading municipal and government of- licials representing the Lower Mainland made appropriate addresses. The dominant note sounded throughout lhe speeches by Reeve Kerr and others was appreciation of the assistance given in the financing of the finest twelve miles of permanent road in the broad Dominion by tbe Provincial Government. Hon. Thomas Taylor, better known as "Good Roads Taylor" formally declared Kingsway open to traffic. Reeve Kerr described the new road as a belt which bound Greater Vancouver together. All South Vancouver's officials were on band and in the magnilicent procession of motor cars, conspicuous among them were the tastefully decorated machines of Fire Chief Lester and the Municipal Council. Speakers at Ceremonies The speakers at the opening ceremonies were Reeve J. A. Kerr, Reeve D. C. Macgregor, Mayor Gray, Reeve Gregory, Mayor Baxter, Reeve Taylor, Ex-Reeve Weart, Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P.. and Mr. J. J. Miller, while Councillor Fau-Vel acted as chairman. The first ceremony of the day was that at which Mayor Baxter officiated, at the junction of Westminster Road and Seventh Avenue.

The member fnr Victoria (C. T. Bailey 1 observed that there was evidently a preponderance nf Liberals fe.r a while. Would the Hon. Member leer I'ernie I W. Me.nisi undertake io form ie cabinet? The member for Fertile said lie hail net been elected leader of his parly, but be knew the Liberal spirit. Tluy would be ready with a cabinet, a King's Speech, and a policy, at the nexl sitting all eager for the fray and fe.r righl and pr.egress.

When will a report be laid before the House of the visit of the Minister of Labor to Nanaimo?" Thc House adjourned. Party Meeting. The Cabinet At a meeting of the Liberal members W. Morris was unanimously elected leader. It is hardly safe to forecast the Cabinet, but it is expected that Mr. Gerald McGeer will be asked to accept the portfolio of Minister of Justice. Mr. Kay will probably again take up Finance, Mr. Gordon may bc asked to look after Militia and Marine, and Mr. J. J. Wilbers, Agriculture. Such "a man of letters" as Mr. G. M. Murray would do well as Postmaster-General and Mr. Lamond could render good service in the Public Works Department. An urgent "whip." Members and candidates attend Saturday at 8 sharp.

God Save The King GRANITOID PAVEMENT A Home and Canadian Product CONCRETE IS RECOGNIZED as the only material suitable for hard wear and permanent work and is extensively used for the foundations of all modern pavements. CONCRETE PAVEMENTS are becoming more and more popular every year, both in Canada and throughout the L'nited States. THE DISCOVERY of a satisfactory concrete wearing surface, suited for all heavy traffic, has only been made after years of study and experimenting. IN OUR GRANITOID PAVEMENT we have a concrete base and a concrete wearing surface lhat will meet tlie requirements of automobile and vehicular traffic alike, becoming more durable with age. GRANITOID PAVING pays the highest returns of durability and satisfaction, being used on our Great Highway���"Kingsway"��� and the leading streets throughout Vancouver.

The "District Ledger," Fernic, comes "in strong in denunciation ni an article in the editorial columns of the "Daily Province," in which the closing down of mines in British Columbia is charged against the interference of international union officers, Tn the "Ledger'1 the article in question is inspired against the existence of international lalieer unions. Among other things, the "Ledger" makes comment "ii the cry for the organization of purely Canadian labor unions: To instance the absurdity of a paper like the "Province" attempting 1 0 eli-,. credit an American labor organiza- tian. let us consider this journal's position fn nn a purely mechanical viewpoint. In common with other coast papers this journal has a signed agreement with the International Typographical Union, and pi ssibly the Stereotype]--' and Electrotypers' Union, and the Pressmen's Union, all of whieh are "international" and have headquarters on the 1 ether side. The "Province" is printed on an American machine, made ill America. It is also "set up" "it an American linotype (or if not an American patented machine.) When the machinery was erected. American tradesmen erected it, more than likely. If the "Province" can buy its paper cheaper in the Stati - than iu Canada it is nonsense im them to stop and consider the number of families wlm will be affected by their act. li they can buy better machinery in America it is absurd to expect then to patronise Canadian manufacturers. Are yo'j going to compel the operators tee employ Canadian miners and use Canadian machines, or the "Province" to employ Canadian printers and buy Canadian machinery?

TO CORRESPONDENTS : We will not print anonymous I'll"' though Inviting communication on current events, to be published over the writer'! signature. ROADS, MORE ROADS! THE name ol Lord Mansfield is writ large in the annals of British jurisprudence. But the Cieai fudge had an outlook on life which was not bounded by a legal horizon, lie uttered many words of wisdom on civic life. Among the epigramatic sentences banded down to us we may appropriately quote today "No community can progress rapidly, and along right lines which has not good roads, as a means of easy communication, and adequate facilities for banking." On banks we may have something to say at some future time, but today���with thc memories of Tuesday's important function in mind���we arc happy to congratulate the citizens of South Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster on tbe fact tbat their representatives have ideas which synchronize with those of the great Lord Mansfield.' And South Vancouver has not allowed such an entcrprizc of "great pith and moment" as the making of a great thoroughfare through the municipality, to remain as an idea, suffered to "grow pale and lose thc name of action." The idea has been nobly carried into effect and we have a road, which if Sir Oliver Lodge's theories arc- correct, may bc approved by thc spirit of Agricola, the maker of thc tirst Roman highways, and by those of Telford and Macadam���the last named, it will bc remembered, was fitly dubbed by "Punch" "the Collos- sus of Roads." The ceremony of the opening of Kings- way was marked by such pomp and circumstance as the times permit. Had all thc King's horses and all the King's men taken part in thc parade it would not have been out of harmony with the event for the opening of a great highway from Vancouver, a city which is making history, lo such a historical city as New Westminster through such interesting, ambitious and enterprising municipalities as South Vancouver and Burnaby is an event of national, indeed Imperial importance. When Dr. Johnson was at the sale of Thrales' business hc said the purchaser would become possessed of "the potentialities of growing rich beyond thc dreams of avarice"���wc might paraphraze those words with regard to the great Kingsway, but the riches which will result will not only be those reckoned in circulating currency. As communities develop they become possessed of riches which have not an official or a "declared" value but arc riches nevertheless. Thc King-way will remain through coming centuries a monument to the energy, the -ell" sacrifice, the wisdom and courage of those pioneers who by "the magic of industry" have turned a forest into an aggregation of cities, for South Vancouver though not officially and technically designated such is "no mean city." Kingsway will give an impetus to social life, to business enterprlze, it will be a help to health and physical and intellectual development and create and foster ambitions which will result in the erections of homes and place- of business worthy of the noble environments of this splendid province. It wa- -aid of a celebrated beauty "If In ber lot Mime human error- fall l.iink in her face ami ymi forgive them all." Our local authorities may have made some mistakes ���they arc but human, but when they arc al election times "called over the coal-" and their record viewed in the fierce light of current criticism the people should not overlook thc good that has been achieved and Kingsway will bc a testimony to public spirit and laudable achivement. UNION SMASHING AT Nanaimo, the strike situation remain- unchanged with a small detachment of military till on hand. The companies, in many nf which the 'eaders of the Conservative party in British Columbia are deeply interested, still stoutly refuse tee recognize the miners' union, 111 many way-, lhe local situation seem- to resemble lhe tie-up of labor in Ireland, commenting upon which "Reynold's Newspaper" prints the following: "It cannot be said lhat the demands of the men who arc out on strike in Dublin arc unreasonable or exorbitant. They should command thc support of every Trade Unionist throughout tlie country, for they involve the very right to form Trade Unions. The employers are banded together ill an attempt to smash the Unions. Like thc Orange fanatics of Ulster, they are a century behind their time, and they seem to imagine tbat they can put back thc hands of the clock by an ultimatum ordering their men to leave the Union. Cold reactionaries are more dangerous than hotheads like Mr. Larkin." COST OE LIVING MOUNTS THE cost of living still tends upward. Statistics published by the Labour department this week shows that during August there was another increase- in the average cost of articles of general household consumption. The increase as compared with August of last year is about three per cent. Meanwhile the high tariff friends of the government are appealing for tariff revision upwards, especially in regard to wool and iron and steel commodities that vitally effect th( cost of living. Meanwhile there is no suggestion from any government source of any decrease in tariff taxation or of any fiscal relief to the general consumer. Meanwhile federal expenditures which will haye to be met for the most part out of customs taxation, continue to mount. Meanwhile there is no sign of following the example of the United States in regard to reducing the duties on food stuffs. Premier Borden seems to think that the problem of freer trade in food products has heen solved by the action of the Democratic Congress in giving Canada OUR OWN PARLIAMENT MEETS THE Collingwood Parliament is recognized as an important institution. This was proved by the fact that in spite of heavy rain more than half the constituencies elected members on Saturday night and a good start was made. It was pleasant to see a side table covered with a well selected array of books on Political Economy. It was pleasant to hear from J. Francis Bursill that the King's Printer at Ottawa and Victoria recognize the value of this local parliament as an educational force and have sent a number of reports and blue books which will bc invaluable for reference. The "M.P.s" of Collingwood will make good use if these books and thc debates will I <��� far more "illuminating" than many which are heard "in another place." At Collingwood tbe Liberals are in power and Premier Morris may be trusted to select for his "cabinet" men who arc really capable of leading public opinion. A strong "Opposition" and a very lively "Independent Party" will prevent the session ever sinking into comn-tn place dulncss. We cannot too strongly urge our young men to attend the parliament, either as members or occupants of thc "Strangers Gallery." Ladies also should grace the meetings of the House. An institution like the Collingwood Parliament has a potentiality for good which cannot be over estimated. Again and again We have bad to deplore the fact that the public plat- form is the scene of crude performances in which would-be leaders of public opinion display neither knowledge or grace. The orators in a local parliament are forced by the spirit of emulations and the fear of riducule to learn something about the subjects >n which they essay to speak and the firm ruling of "Mr. Speaker" keeps them to the point, and will noi let them do violence to parliamentary courtesy. Such discipline is good for the individual, and the :ommunity, and in the moulding of Greater Vancouver���on right lines, our local parliament will have no insignificant part.

Families of four or more, however, constitute 42 per cent. This meant that population still grows naturally at a fair rate. Marie .'orelli. the day the records were made public, said in licet that all England was guud for was lo furnish h ��� -nil for ibe growth of a new race. Thc Sweet Marie seems to live among the people of her books alber than among the people of her country.

Then Xo. 1 came back with the re- nark that he could say things that would embitter the vhole future life of his competitor, but that lie re- 'rained. All tbat he wished to say was to class him ���s "an infernal liar, a thug and a crawling scoundrel." A'hat this gentleman could do if be really tried would irobably burn the press while the edition was being un off. �� * s. Label the Jokes Woodstock Sentinel-Review The Gait Reporter sadly complains that some re- narks which it made, and should have labeled "htim- irous" but didn't, have been taken quite seriously, and vith quite serious results. Moved by the spirit of omedy, it ventured to suggest the advisability of try- ng certain experiments in roadmaking for the bene- it of the automobile drivers, fully expecting that the /em of sarcasm would be easily detected. But the lope was vain, and now the Reporter is solemnly barged with advising the construction of had- roads 'or the purpose of killing and maiming the autoists. t is a serious thing to indulge in a joke these days uiless you put a proper label on it. �� * �� The Growth of Saskatoon Saskatoon Phoenix Seven years ago the Saskatoon schools opened the all term with a total teaching staff of eight. They copen this week after the summer holidays with a ermanent teaching force of 113. This present total >f 113, by the way, is exactly the number of the people he Dominion government census records put down or the wh .- population of Saskatoon in 1903, ten years ago. These ligures are impressive. Other schools are in course of erection, and yet others are planned which will call for huge additions to the teaching staff during the next year or two. �� * * Barbers und Sunday Montreal Herald A magistrate in the police court at Paterson, N.J., has ruled that it is not an illegal act for a barber to diave a man on Sunday, providing that the man is going to church. The decision opens llie way for much shaving on the Sabbath. For a bewhiskcred fellow wdio would stoop tu have bis face scraped itn lhe holy day would in all probability be equal to telling the barber a lib. There is a way "lit of the diffi- :ulty, however. The city can station a policeman at every barber's, wdiose duty it will he to see that each customer goes to church. The shavers in thai case will not bc overworked. * �� �� A Ground uf Hope Chicago Tribune We are encouraged to hope that fewer people will be killed by automobiles in the month of September, 1913, than in the month immediately preceding. It has one less clay. * * ft /// Regard lo "Mr." und "Mrs." London Chronicle A correspondent'of the Daily Citizen suggests that the unnecessary and unplcasing prefix "Mr." should be eliminated from the superscription of letters. The deprivation of this prefix was one of the penalties enforced in our American colonies during the seventeenth century. The records of Massachusetts show that n P.SO Josias Plaistowe was condemned "for Mealing four baskets of.corn from the Indians, to return them eight baskets again, to be fined ��5, and hereafter ii lie called Josias, not Mr., as he used to be." The Massachusetts Penal Code also provided for docking women of the prefix Mrs., but there is no record of ihis clause having been enforced. * * �� . / Missionary Problem (Htawa Citizen The presbytery of Xew Westminster, B.C., has passed a resolution in favor of restricting Asiatic immigration into Canada, and particularly into British Columbia, There is not much doubt that in it- declaration the presbytery represents the views of the mass of the people on the Pacific Coast, who have most experience of the yellow workers in America. It is somewhat startling, though, for a church bode ti> so put itself on record. What seirt of a curtailed Christian message henceforth will a Presbyterian missionary from Canada carry to the men of China and Japan and India? * * * ./ Moving Picture Wreck at Sea Xew York Evening Post Just at first blush, it would seem that there were several physical impossibilities for even producers of notion picture films. A realistic factory fire would e one; a soul-satisfying railroad wreck another: the ���inking of a steamship a third. But that this last is io more beyond the producer's power than volcanic ���ruptions and river Hoods is shown by the recent Yer- ilmung of Hauptmann's "Atlantis" in the North Sea. The novel, it will be remembered, was one unexpectedly advertised by the parallel wdiich the sinking of the Titanic offered to its central incident. Five hundred actors were haled aboard the ocean liner G. F. Tietgen, which steamed far out between Cattegat and Skagerrak. In the stupendous night scene of shipwreck, rockets flared, officers shot down crowding men, and droves of frightened passengers buckled on life-belts and leaped into the churning sea���to be picked up by boats antl carried around to the other side of the ship. It is said that the consternation with which the actors were forced to the plunge was quite as real as simulated. The chief role was taken by Frau Orlow, of the Vienna Municipal theatre; but the hero's part was played hy the very man who gave Hauptmann the idea of tiie novel���the armless artist, G. H. Unthatt. Shipwreck, stage heroism, ruined clothes, and all, the cost of th$ production was only $50,O0Q. 2^<S�� SIX GREATER VANCOUVER CHINOOK SATURDAY.

DON'T treasure up old rags, paper or rubbish of any sort under stairways, in attics or basements, or anywhere in your home. DON'T put ashes in a wooden box or barrel, or close to walls or fences. DON'T neglect to overhaul your stove pipes oncfe a month; see that your chimneys are swept at least twice a year. DON'T use gasoline for cleaning purposes, in the house. It is more dangerous than powder; powder will remain where you leave it, gasoline vapor is shifted by air currents to all parts of the house, and being heavier than air, lodges in out of the way corners making trouble when you least expect it. DON'T place your stoves or pipes within twelve (12) inches of any wood or partition. DON'T forget that ninety-five per cent, of our fire losses are caused by poor and dirty stove pipes, and the placing of stoves, pipes and furnaces too close to wood work. DON'T have matches where they can be gotten at by children; keep them in a covered tin. REMEMBER, an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. HELP US TO PROTECT YOU, BY IMPROVING CONDITIONS AROUND YOUR HOME CHIEF, FIRE DEPARTMENT, SOUTH VANCOUVER, B.C. Tin- cry e.i ;i baby icta every chord e.f a mother'i heart a-quivering. Por ��� he knowi ihi' baby ii in pain. But iln- language fi the baby i- <Ii11i��� ult iee understand, because il cannol tell jusl where the pain is. And then inmetimei babies cry through mere habit when there i* no real pain Trouble in the can m a badly aei- jii-ie'el |iiu may he the cause, Inn ii i* much more likt-ly i<e be a stomachache. Dr, Eric Pritchard, senior assistant physician, Queen's Hospital for Children, in a recent address, Bald thai babies often cry because, by sn dee- inn they benelil themselves���attracting attention, expanding thc limn* and obtaining oxygen, but more often from suggestion thnn from actual pain, The first tiling to do when a baby cries and you arc sure ii is from pain is to try i" eliminate the most common causes outside af the abdo men. Redness e.i" the checks or patches ni redness, running of the neise and wateriness of thc eyes, are indications of trouble with thc teeth. Rolling nr banging the head on thc pillow en- clutching the eats suggests earache. Ihesc excluded, the seal of pain is probably the abdomen. The intestines oi a new-born baby have te. learn i" work. That rhythmic contraction passing downward, which i-, called peristalsis, and which alter a litlle' practice works automatically, unless disturbed, begins only awkwardly; ii has to be educated. While tearing, the Intestines are peculiarly liable to trip up, causing irregular contractions and spasms that hurt. These can nit en lie seen upon Ihe abdomen nf a baby. Waves passing across from left In right are u sure sign of interrupted peristalic action. Massage with the hand, placing the baby un its stomach, nr the application of heat, will generally relieve all trouble. Physicians are undecided as tu why we have stomach-ache. They say the intestines du not pee*sis> pain nerves, because they can be cul. lacerated nr pulled without the patient being aware af il. On the other hand, wc all know whai pain colic or any eef ihe other forms nr irregular contraction of the intestines can give. I'rnf. C. S. Sherrington suggests that the sensory nerve endings in the intestines he regarded as highly specialised receptors, tuned nr sensitised in receive one class oi impressions only, namely, those which are nf an essentially useful nr pmtestive nature. Hence ihey turn a deaf ear In all stimuli except those which are directly concerned with lhe motor function. Ur. Pritchard says "it is through the instrumentality nf these highly sensitised receptors that the Infant acquires the power of conducting its intestinal motor functions wiih physiological efficiency. The moment any ill-coordinated contraction interferes with the sun mill working of the motor mechanicism lhe infant's central nervous system is al mice informed hy the reception of painful impressions, anil hy a series of :ilite.- rrratic and unconscious adjustments peace is restored. Thus slowly and with much pain ain! tribulation the infant arrives at physiological perfection, sn far as the peristaltic fttnc- lieetis eef the bowels are concerned, "Though infantile pains are merely i stage in the education of the baby's body it is highly desirable that they lie as short-lived as possible, as constant abdominal pain will surely disturb the development of the central nervous system. Remember that when a baby takes it- firsl fond into its stomach the movements eel this organ start a Stbmi ����� f waves which mil in disorder and confusion from nu' end eef ihe intestines tn thc other. Pain -Inniiel certainly be relieved, we ���ire told, Inn in a very slmrt time the intestines, bj practice, have established iheir rhythm, and life should continue comfortably."

Mother, trembling ami white-faced, was just saying, "I'll not listen to another word. Veen must go. And 'in yeettr very life, never show yourself here again."

But really, I think Dawson would he quite interested in some of the things I could tell him." Then mother's face went from white to blazing red. and her dark- eyes seemed to shoot fire.

J. F. B. Sends Us a Fiery Protest Over Our Treatment of the "Voters' League" Meeting Yes! You had "an intelligent anticipation" when you thought I should call your account of the "Voters' I.eigne" meeting "Sacrilege!" First, you refer to Scotland's national poet as "Bobbie" Burns. You deserve to never be permitted to taste a dram of Old Scotia's national beverage. "Robbie" if you please���no true Scot refers to "Bobbie" Burns. I am not Surprised at you getting mixed up over the pictures. After such a meeting everybody felt as crooked as- a bed spring���but you really should know the difference between William Ewart Gladstone and Ralph Waldo Emerson! It was Emerson who left the hall with a shriek and his hands on his cars���no wonder! The author of "Representative Men" received a shock he will never get over. The portrait you label "Sir Walter Raleigh" is really Elias Ashmole��� who founded a museum. Ever since the meeting he has been lamenting that he was never able to secure such "curiosities" as he saw on the platform. I have other faults to find with your far too serious account of a very lively meeting���but 1 will leave further protests to my lawyer. I am seriously thinking of sending you a Writ over the way in which you associate my name with that of "Robbie" Burns." You really ought to know hy this time that a lawyer can ingeniously twist, tangle, distort, your words into a reflection on my efficiency. I don't sec why I should not have a "go" at you as well as other people. In a general way, the man who hastily runs to a lawyer is an ass, yet I think the way you lightly refer to "grog" (which ought to be spoken of with reverence) is ample reason for a lawyer's letter���lawyers' letters have been sent upon much less provocation.���J. F. B. P.S.���One of the speakers at the meeting said he started in Canada with $140 and a gun���Which did he have first? Another P.S.���Why do you sneer at the league suggesting that they could make wooden block paving? I believe if they put their heads together they could do it. Yet another P.S.���"Robbie" Burns made this comment on thc "show." "Oh wad some power the giftie gie us, To see oorsels as ilhers see us."

An Intelligent Little Carleton School Girl Writes of the Resources of British Columbia and Wins a Well Deserved Prize By J. Francis Bursill A few weeks ago a dark eyed, intelligent looking litlle girl came into lhe Cllingw I Library. "Can you lend me a Inei.k mi British Columbia?" she asked "Whal aspect of Briti-h Columbia?" "I want Something about it- national -cilery, it- forests, ti-h- eries and mine-." and then the girl got asking questions just iu the style Kipling indicates��� I Inn e si\ valiant -cn ing ineii 'Ihey taught tm all I know Their names are What, and Why ami When Ami Where and Which and I [i.e., I lent the litlle maid a boe.k ami I answered lu-r intelligent questions and the other elay she tripped in t.. tell me she had won lhe tirst priz fur an essay al llle Central I'ark Exhibition, Well dene Lillian! You went the right way about getting ye.ur "data" ami some of your es I is worth printing. Here are a few extracts : "In talking of the resources of British Columbia one has to think more of future than of the past, for although lor years past millions fi feet of leiinber have been exported to many parti1 of the world, yet there arc vast tracts of timber still standing. "Geologists agree that the mineral wealth .if liritish Columbia is iii comparison untouched, and that- explot ers will find enormi us coal fields, oil- livls, probably deposits of peat which will be very valuable to future generations, "The Progress Club and olher i r- g.ini/.alions arc sensibly pointing out thai the great need of Uriiish Colum liia is to increase its agriculture. In a province having such a beautiful climate and being so well watered and not being subject lo extremes of either Ileal or cold there is everything t'e encourage the cultivation "i the soil, especially when in the near future there will he good mean- of conveying to geiod markets the product! of the soil. Then, for instance, the Fraser Valley will become farmed ami will produce great quantities of agricultural products, and it is plain that other countries That are now deriving great wealth freem British Columbia, such as N'ew Zealand for her butter, will have our trade no more, her home Industry will take it- place. "Quite recently at a meeting of electrical engineers one of them saiel that British Columbia was just beginning to find out what wealth there was in its great water powers, and be pointed out how easy and at little cost, our mountain streams and rapidly flowing rivers could be used for the making of electricity. This would of course make the running of machinery much cheaper. This could ea lly bc used for turning much of our now wasted material into valuable products. Electric power could also be used for irrigation in those parts of British Columbia where this is necessary. "The greatness of our resources is attracting large numbers of people to come and settle in our province, both settlers and capitalists. So with the capital to-develop industry, the natural products of British Columbia will bc turned into the finished article. . Instead of sending the raw material abroad as is at present, such articles as silk, paper, bricks, pottery, etc., will be manufactured here in large quantities to till the wants of British Columbia, for this province has all the natural products ready lee be developed by capital and labor." "LILIAN' FRANCIS COWDELI." There, you see the spirit of this clever essay, 1 wish other girls (and hoys, too) would remember that the library, and J. F. Bursill, are hen- ready tu help them in their Studies.
