WSovsa CHINOOK ,.1. II, No. 26 SOUTH VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA. SATURDAY, NO\ EMBER 8, 1913 Price ? cents South Vancouver Working Man Pays Canadian Home Investment Company Over Two Hundred Dollars in Canadian Currency���Says He Is Still Looking In Vain For Something In Return Mr. F. G. Bramble, 5051 Windsor Street, South Vancouver, Employee of B.C.E.R., One of Many-Local Workmen Paying Money Into C.H.I.C. Maizes Protest���Says He Has Paid in Two Hundred and Twenty-eight Dollars and so far Has Received Only Prettily Lithographed Contract-- Writes Letter To Editor on Subject Condemning Company Officials IM its prospectus, the Canadian Home Investment Company makes a plea for the patronage of the working man on the grounds that thc company will save him from "Shylock" money lenders. The company pays 2tl per cent., it claims, to working- men investing in its home loan contract scheme. The following letter will bc of interest: To the Editor of the "Chinook" : Sir,���Kindly allow me space in your per to discuss a matter which I ink should be given wide publicity, am an tinglishman and have been this country several years. I came re with expectations that financial eiicerns in Canada and British Col- mbia were under the supervision of ie government and wcre run along ���nest lines. During the year 1912, there came n unexpected blow of bard luck to ivself and wife���which is an cvery- ay occurrence in a large city. Short- after our marriage, 1 faced an out- i-work problem through no fault i my own, which meant very little ��� come and go upon after meeting ig monthly payments on a home. An agent, representing the Cana- :;in Home Investment Company, .iring of my plight, induced me to ity two home purchasing contracts i the Canadian Home investment "inpany. Hc represented in all good ith that it would bc a great boon us. I should pay but $6.00 a month n each contract for nine or twelve lonths, I would have the privilege i borrowing $2,000 at S per cent, in- rest for ten and a half years. It lunded good and I saw here an op- ���i tunity to raise $2,000 and pay off ���' debt on my home and have nine cars in which to settle with my fine e ncfactors. One year elapsed. I was still paying $6.00 a month on each of these home loan contracts. I was also paying $50.00 a month on my home. I could get no loan from the C.H.I.C. Eighteen months have now elapsed. I still have to pay $12.00 monthly to the C.H.I.C. Up to date I have given over to the C.H.I.C. $228.00 of my earnings as a motorman on the B. C. E. R. Company. Am I to have to pay these dues to thc C.H.I.C. for thc rest of my life? I have already paid so much that I cannot turn back now. I went to their offices today and was informed that I could withdraw from the company if I would accept $106.98 in full of account. I must save up and give these people $228 and get back $106.98. This is what the C.H.I.C. calls straight business. How many other working men, Mr. Editor, are there in South Vancouver who have been taken in as I have? Is the existence of such a concern as this in the community good for Vancouver? Their agent who coaxed me into taking the contract in the first place said that the company was a godsend to the poor man. It offered a good way to get out of paying high rent and high interest to the "Shylock" money lenders. He was a very smooth tongued liar, that agent. It simply amounts to this that the Canadian Home Investment Company charges mc one hundred per cent, for the privilege of giving them money. There are many men employed in thc B. C. E. R. Company who have been taken in on this scheme, who have been influenced to j a certain extent by thc fact that some of the directors of the Canadian Home Investment Company are reputable, or supposedly so, citizens of Vancouver. Is this Man Wright a Climber? To thc Editor of the "Chinook" : Sir,���Regarding the remarks made at a recent South Vancouver Board of Trade meeting by Mr. J. C. Wright, relative to the "Chinook" I have noted the remarks of "Felix Penne," whom I admire as a public-spirited man and endorse him accordingly, so I would respectfully request that thc citizens of South Vancouver know who Mr. J. C. Wright is. He is ex-secretary of the Cedar Cottage Conservative club, of which the Rev. J. C. Madill is vice-president. Mr. J. C, Wright was Mr. J. C. Madill's right-hand man at the time of the row in' Mr. Madill's church. Mr. J. C. Madill worked hard to get Mr. J. C. Wright his J. P. appointment. Mr. Madill used influence at Ottawa, to get Mr. Wright appointed a commissioner on the Fraser River Development Commission. Councillor Dickinson says that the Rev. Madill wanted Mr. Wright appointed as a Licence Inspector for South Vancouver. I am also informed that Mr. Madill has already bespoken Mr. Wright for municipal honors for the coming election. Mr. Wright was Mr. Madill's right-hand supporter during the recent fracas in the Cedar Cottage Conservative Club, and now Mr. Wright is in a government job; so with all this before us, I have wondered why the chairman of the Board of Trade's advertising committee did not make thc repeirt to the board. Is this man Wright throwing the balls others make? Wcre Wright's remarks the result of some sneaking politicians who want to muzzle the "Chinook?" Seems like it to me. If South Vancouver is ever going to be the place we all want it to be, it will not be brought about by either hirelings or political benchers; so 1 hope the Board of Trade will continue the support of the only good, clean paper we have in South Vancouver, and the one that is a credit to us,���namely, the "Chinook." Yours truly, S. T. SCOTT. Cedar Cottage South Vancouver, November 4, 1913. It is regrettable that politics should be allowed to enter into the work of the Board of Trade. This organization of business men has done more to build up South Vancouver than any other agency. If it be true that the Mr. Wright referred to has been the cat's paw of any peanut politicians, it is very sad indeed. The Board of Trade might guard against the occurrence of a similar incident, by looking more closely into thc credentials of applicants for membership. We are assured of the fact that the reliable section of the Conservative party have no finger in the affair and we regret that this journal should be brought into the controversy.���Ed. Mr. William Morris Will Contest South Vancouver Reeveship Candidates Will be Numerous in Next Municipal Contest and Already; Hats Are Being Fired into the Ring��� Edward Gold May Also Run I would like your opinion on this matter, Mr. Editor, and I assure you that I will write home to England and warn my friends there that the money for the C.H.I.C. had done so in England a good portion of the balance of their lives would likely be spent at Portland prison where best country on Geed's green earth��� they rightly belong.

Yours truly. And I venture to say that if some j F. G. BRAMBLE, of thc fine fellows who took my 15051 Windsor St., South '."ancouver. In the next two or three months South Vancouver will go through the throes of an exciting municipal campaign. This time it appears the election will be more hotly contested than at any previous time. From the rumors that are already afloat, there will be no dearth of candidates either for the reeveship, councillor positions, or that of schoo! trustee. The issues will likely be several in number and thoroughly discussed so that Mr. "Common Peepul" will have a full opportunity to judge the different aspirants and their issues from every standpoint. There are already several avowed candidates for the recveship. Included in this list it is said are Mr. William Morris, at present school trustee and Councillor Dickinson. While neither of the above mentioned have made a statement up to this time as regards their candidacy, it is quite certain that at least Mr. Morris will be found in the battle opposing Reeve Kerr and any others who may aspire. While "Fighting Jack" may not stand for the reeveship it is certain that he will again run for the councillorship from Cedar Cottage. Mr. Gold, of the Voters' League, will also run feir reeve, it is said. If Mr. Morris runs he will most likely have the suppeert of the famous "Committee of Fifty." who managed his campaign for school trustee last year as well as that of Councillor Wilbers of Collingwood. It is said he would continue, if possible, to hold the position of school trustee, if elected to the reeveship. as Mr. Morris is of lhe opinion that much good could come from the co-operation of the school board with the council. He and Trustee Campbell were elected in 1912 for a term ai two years. Incorporation will undoubtedly be ilie platform upon which the present administration will stand. Councillor Campbell is the father of the incorporation bylaw which is to be voted upon at the same time as the officers in January. Should Incorporation carry, it would become necessary I hold another cleetieeii ior mayor and aldermen, ihe successful candidates in tin first election would likely have little opposition as lhe issues would lie practically the same. Rumor has it lhat Ceeiineille r John Third will not aspire again. He i- said to be grooming a younger man for the position, but the councillor's many friends are asking him to stand again, and sei when the time approaches John Third will very likely be found among lhe nominees. Weird comes from Collingwood that Mr. Wilbers will neit run again from that ward, but it is early yet and it is possible that Mr. Wilbers will be induced to stand for another year. It is said that a new law has recently gone into effect iiti British Columbia which makes it demanda- tory upon a candidate to reside in the municipality before he may file his nomination papers. In this case Councillor Thomas would bo disqualified. The same reasons would stop Edward Gold from standing for the council, as it is believed it is bis intention oi doing. In the matter of school trustees it is very likely that the present board will go to the people on the strength of their management of the affairs feer the last year. Morris and Camp- hell were elected for the two-year term, so that only Whelpton, McArthur and N'eelands of the present board will have to run. No Opposition to this board have as yet been announced. Mr. "Joe" Christie May Run Mr. Joe. Christie, formerly of the Assessor's department at the Municipal Hall, may come out for councillor in Ward 4. In the event of the retirement of Councillor Third, it is stated that Mr. Christie will consent t.i pressure being brought to bear upon him by a large number of ratepayers who believe that his familiarity wilh the inside municipal workings qualifies him for a seat on the council. Robert M. Robson has an optimistic report tee make on his activities along ilu- line eif establishing an industrial centre at the foot fi Main Street. Several large industries have j been lined up anil two have already prepared plans for buildings. Mr, Robson is interesting n bank in the movement. There i- a possibility, though ii is at presenl remote that the "Chinook" may move iis offices and plant i" ihe Keel sim property. ST. PETER'S CALL FOR AID MUST BE ELOQUENTLY ANSWERED Rev. G. F. C. Caffin, the rector, :eiid his parishioners are bound thai St. Peter's Church shall speedily re- t.iin the splendid conditions of the days before the five-bug's match re- 'luced the church building to ashes. The wood and mortar of the church aie no more, but there remains the good spirit that played so much part in its founding. For the present, the temporary chapel, built free of charge by the members of thc congregation, is being occupied and St. Peter's calls for aid. The following letter and account of the Bishop's address appeared in the Vancouver ��� "Sun" of November 3. Any subscription will be greateful- ly received by the members of the huilding committee from all who sympathize with the church in its loss. Phoenix-like, the Anglican Church of St. Peter, South Vancouver, is rising courageously from the ashes of the lire which destroyed the beautiful little building a fortnight ago. Services are being held in a store, wonderfully transformed from tbe mundane aspect to the aspect spiritual. The place is within a couple of blocks of the site of St. Peter's church where a scorched lych-gate and a brick chimney arc all that remain of the church building. Within the store in less than fifteen days, loyal workers of thc membership of St. Peter's have wrought a marvellous transformation. Not the ordinarily to be expected rows of chairs as for a political meeting greet thc eye on entering, but plain wood pews properly modelled out of fir. No mere raised dais platform for the preacher is here, but a simple alter, lectern, and reading desk have been fashioned of the same plain white wood, and the alter steps have been carpeted. Rev. G. C. F. Caffin, rector of the church, mentioned to The Sun that all this work has been done in less than a fortnight as a labor of love for the church in its time of distress by its loyal supporters. Even the carpeting for the alter steps is the gift of an old member of the church. Next Sunday the plain wood seats will be stained, and step by step the brave little church will battle its way back to ..eauty for the service of God. Yesterday at 11 a.m., the right reverend the bishop eel N'ew \\ esiiiiin ster preached from the text, "Blessed are they lhat mourn," bringing eeut briefly but very feelingly his regret at '.i.e destruction of the church by fire, and his great appreciation of the splendid fighting cfforls shown by the members in their time of calamity. "It was with peculiar and deep sorrow and regret," said the bishop, "that [ learned on Tuesday last when I returned from thc Bast, that you had lost your dear, pretty little St. Peter's church. I had hoped tei have officiated in St. Peter's church at the marriage of your rector last week. Today in most of the churches of the diocese there is being read a letter which I have written and posted to all, telling of your loss and asking that those who are able and willing shall help n- !��� erect another Si.

It gives me extreme satisfaction to bc able to be here my self today and to express our feeling of sorrow with you in this loss of your beautiful little church, the fruit of so much loving labor. "But let me express to you also the feeling of satisfaction which I felt on coming into this little place today, and seeing the evidences of loving labor of many loyal hands. How blessed it is to work! You who have done this know how blessed it is to work for the Master, how great i- the hi, ssing of 'I'.inn something �� hich you know is pleasing God." lu conclusi >n ilu- Bishop counselled humility as well as courage in the church membership struggling now in repair the devastation wrought liy the fire. "If the church committee* taking care of this should place themselves forward as more important than their mission, they have ii"t begun right. 1 hey must begin all over again," said the bishop, and his voice sounded solemnly in the texts, "Blessed arc they that mourn for they shall be comforted," and "Blessed are the poor in spirit feir they shall see God."

Since the last session of the Trades and Labor Congress oi Canada, President Watteri has been Incessantly at work in an endeavor ts bring matters tee ��� head. The recent correspondence between the President of the Congress and Mr. Frank Partington, the chief o|r liccr iu charge of the strike show that the efforts are likely to bear fruit. Mr. Walters has intimated that the Minister of Labor is willing to create a special arbitration board to go into the question at dispute. Tlic miners, although empowered to choose one of their own officer! as their representative, are quite willing to forego this right and intimated that they will choose a citizen of B. C. to acl for them on the board. The mine-owners, at the time of writing have not yet intimated whether they intend falling in with the suggestion, but it seems hardly likely they will turn the overtures down. Should they fail to appoint a representative the government has special power to nominate one themselves. It is to be hoped this will not bc necessary. At this stage of the proceedings, it is not our wish to deal further with the question at stake, our only hope being that successful issue be the result. St St * "The Miners' Liberation League" is the name of an organization brought into being in Vancouver last Monday evening.

XIr. Frank Farrington, representing the striking miners, expressed his approval of the arrangements made. Never before have the working men of Vancouver been so united in their determination to do everything in their power to resent Bowser's unsavory rule. That Judge Howay's idea of "justice tempered with mercy" does not appeal to Ihe ordinary lay mind is only too apparent by the comments made by workers among themselves To say that they were staggered with the sentences handed down is to put it very mildly. If hit lordship had passed sentence without any comment, it would at least have been taken in better part, but bis remarks before passing judgment will only help to flame still more the scorn with which the government eif B. C. is held among the toiling classes. * * * A meeting of unionists favorable to the formation of.a Labor Party will be held in thc Labor Temple, Tuesday, November 11. Invitations have been sent to the various unions to send two delegates and it is hoped that all will be represented. At no time more than now is it felt that organized labor should have a voice on the civic councils and other bodies, and in parliamentary affairs, provincial and dominion. The average worker with strong views on labor and other questions has looked askance at the two orthodox parties. Their views were not his views and often as not his vote would not be exercised owing to the futility he felt in voting for either of the two. While having sympathy with the Socialists in their stand for a saner world, yet their methods were all together too revolutionary to their mind and held out small hope for any temporary adjustment of thc evils they were working under. The claim of the Socialists that every man is a Socialist at heart, we heartily endorse, but���i* is all a matter of education and you "maun creep afore you toddle."

CENTRAL PARLIAMENT Central Parliament Discuss Women's Suffrage���Hears Brilliant Address from Mrs. McConkey Central Parliament again met in Session, Tuesday, in the Municipal Hall, for the third time. The members of the government were out in full strength, the inference being that the cabinet were unanimous on the question to be brought up in debate: "The Franchise Act." Among the early arrivals at the legislative chambers was Mrs. McConkey, a lady who has taken a very prominent part locally in the light for women's rights. The spectators' gallery had the- largest attendance of the session. It is quite evident that the suffrage question is a live one and the interest taken in the doing of the legislators was very gratifying. At the outset, Reeve J. A. Kerr took the speaker's chair. Mrs. McConkey was the first speaker for the women's cause. She asked that the suffrage question should not be looked upon as a party measure. She claimed that thc Liberal and Socialist parties had done most for the women's cause. In a general review of the situation, Mrs. McConkey brought out some very telling points. Instancing that women in British Columbia were filling positions in the province on the same equality as men, minus, however the vote. The speaker gave a fine historical account of the rise of women during last sixty years. Going over the various professions, she endeavored to show that in almost all cases where women have entered into competition with man shc has shown a degree of efficiency that has marked women as fully equal to men. In the field of science women's names were indelibly marked. She claimed that Women entering into the political field would give the necessary stimulus in dealing with legislation which was wanting at thc present time. Dealing with the "home question," Mrs. McConkey made a very decisive hit. "It had often been said by the antis'," said the speaker, "lhat the granting of the vote would mean lhe break up of the home." She went on to show that women's natural place was the home, and it was because oj that that the vote was most urgently required. In thc home training of thc future citizen, the women with their greater powers would be more able to instil into the youthful minds some logic which would benefit them in after life. Mrs. McConkey said that the women would leave nothing unturned in thc future legislation that would deprive her of equal guardianship rights with regard to Iheir children. The speaker was given a splendid reception on resuming hcr seat. Premier Pleming in congratulating the previous speaker, said it was refreshing to hear the women's cause put in such a clear, concise fashion. He could hardly realize how our sister parliament across the seas could logically deprive the women of thc right to vote after the speaker had shown so clearly the disabilities women were working under. Mr. Kavanagh, Socialist member for Ladysmith, made a strong attack on the government. He failed to see what Premier Pleming was congratulating himself upon, they had promised the women something but were in reality giving them nothing. Secretary of State Lamond supported the bill. Mr. Hill intimated that for the first time the cross benches had got a strangle hold on the government and unless the government allowed them to amend thc bill they were prepared to exercise it. The premier said he would be prepared to hear what the cross-benches had to propose. Mr. Charleton, Nanaimo, then read the amendment: Preamble: ihis act shall supersede all other acts on the statute books of the province that may in any way conflict with this act. Amendment to Clause 1���The franchise shall be extended to all females on the same terms as men Mr. Jacques, Conservative member, made a speech against the adoption of the measure, which was very much interrupted during delivery. Mr. Rankin supported the measure with the provision that the government incorporate the preamble and amendment to Clause 1 as brought forward by his hon. friend on the cross-benches. Councillor Thomas was against giving the women the vote for var- ieius reasons. The Premier moyed the adoption of the preamble as submitted by the cross-benches. Agreed to. The Premier next moved the adoption of Clause 1 as amended by the cross-benches. Secretary of State Lamond moved the adoption of Clause 2 and Mr. Mengel (Socialist) moved an amendment that the twelve months residence In the province be deleted and that six be inserted. The Clause 2 came in for a deal of discussion, in which the militia came in for some severe criticism. Mr. Kavanagh on the cross-benches moving an amendment that militiamen be debarred from exercising the vote, Mr. Rankin seconded. The government agreed to accept 6 months qualification instead of 12 and the Clause was carried by a majority. The Premier moved that the house report progress. Agreed to. Mr. Lamond on behalf of the government gave notice that he would introduce a bill dealing with incorporation. Mr. Charleton gave notice of motion to the following effect: Whereas from time to time great distress has prevailed in this province of British Columbia from the presence of vast numbers of unemployed people, in some cases leading to violence and always causing many people to be dependent on charity while at the same time there exist in Ibis province vast natural resources still undeveloped and which if developed would undoubtedly sustain many millions of people and whereas such a condition now exists and is from week tei week becoming more apparent. Therefore bc it resolved that the lieetise of assembly considers it a matter of urgent need that the Lieutenant-Governor in Council reserve from sale, lease, or pre-emption an area of land equal to one half the agricultural and timber lands now i csted in tbe crown in Ihis province and take immediate steps to provide employment on these lands for such as may apply in order that the aforesaid lands may hc made fit for settlement and where these lands arc located at a distance from already settled points that good roads be constructed in order that settlers may have easy access. Be it further resolved that this assembly urges upon thc government the advisability of making such an appropriation of public funds as shall enable thc department in whose hands the work lays to adequately provide for all contingencies, resting assured that the vast increase in value of the land and thc revenue from the sale of the products of the labor applied will more than repay the cost and will remove the distress existing without resource to that degrading institution called charity. The House then adjourned. though it is the latter which appreciates the artistry. "But the untutored minds recive fieein him as much as those versed in the tangle of technique which accompanies an academic musical education, so Gogorza is greater because he conveys the message of music to all alike. If such an exhibition as yesterday's must be specialized, we might say that three of the numbers encored were succeeded by themselves. These were Schumann's "Widmung," Debussy's "Mandoline" and "J'ai pleure en reve," by G. Hue. When a song has delighted to the point of arousing prolonged applause it is because the bearers want a rehearing and not something else, and Gogorza answers this appeal almost without exception, catering to the taste of the assemblage. Henry Giles, a young Parisian pianist, who accepted the world tour with Gogorza for its educational advantages, made a distinctly favorable impression and was heartily encored after his solo selections.

Dunsmuir and Hamilton Sts., Monday Nov. 17 The musical critic of a San Francisco paper writes as follow : "Sig. de Gogorza's voice is greater than ever. Yesterday disclosed Go- Gorza to be the perfect master of all that is obtainable in the art of song with added resonance and warmth. The quality of his voice is a pure gift; one, filled with ineffable sweetness that can never be produced through the genius of any singing master but the combined intelligence of qualified masters and this trilliant student have developed this gift of quality to the highest realm, and Gogorza singst to the soul with greater vehemence than to the mind even The High Priestess of the Militant Suffragists���Mrs. Emmeline Pankluirst is in America! Will she come to Vancouver? I hope so. I shall bc glad to renew my acquaintance with a clever, remarkable woman, whose good work .along social lines, I well know and whose character I much respect. It is right to add, however, that I knew Mrs. Pank- hurst before she became so prominent as a "militant" suffragette. I also knew her husband "Tom" Pankluirst. He was at one time a candidate for a south London constituency and I heard him with fiery, almost anarchistic haranguers in a thin treble voice that almost squeaked like a penny trumpet. A remarkable man was Tom Pankluirst, well worthy of a wife with so much unique individuality as Emmeline possesses. Emmeline Goulden was born in England, on the anniversary of the storming of the Bastile. Radicalism may bc said to run in her blood. Hcr father was a prominent Radical politician, and her grandfather narrowly escaped with his life at thc great Franchise Riots at Peterloo, in 1819. I have litle doubt that thc memories of "thc Peterloo Massacre" tinged has whole life. F.inmcline was educated at Paris, and there met the daughter of Henri Rochefort and became an ardent Republican. Miss Goulden had been unusually gifted by nature, not only with intelligence and courage, but also with personal attractions. In her youth shc had the reputation of being one of the most beautiful women in England. In 1879 shc met Dr. Pankhurst, a distinguished barrister, who had been a member of the first Woman Suffrage Society, founded by John Stuart Mill, and she married him in the same year. A little later she was placed on the Executive Committee of the only Woman Suffrage Society then existing, and was also on the Women's Committee for pushing the Married Women's Property Bill, drawn by Dr. Pankhurst, which is now law. The women of England owe much to her for thc rights they already possess under the law. In 1883 Mrs. Pankhurst assisted her husband as Independent Radical candidate for Manchester, and two years later as Radical candidate for Rotherhithe. In 1886 she went to London and joined the Fabian Society and the Holborn Women's Liberal Association. She remained a Liberal until 1892, when she joined the Independent Labor Party, and returned to Manchester. It was during the Rotherhithe contest and her subsequent stay in London that I knew Mrs. Pankhurst. I wrote a biography of her husband from notes she dictated to me and I was impressed by her womanly affection and respect for her "Tom." Mrs. Pankhurst has repeatedly been chosen by her fellow townsmen to hold positions of trust and responsibility. In 1892 she stood as the Independent Labor candidate for the Manchester School Board. The following year she was elected on thc Board of Poor Law Guardians for Manchester, receiving the highest vote of any of the successful candidates. She served in that capacity for five years. In 1899, on her husband's death, she was appointed Registrar of Births and Deaths, and the following year was elected as Trades Council Nominee of the School Board. She twice served on the National Demonstration Council of the Independent Labor Party. She held her appointment as Registrar until shc was deprived of it, hcr friends say, because of her activity in the suffrage movement. Her four children, a son and three daughters, wcre all young. She went into business and contrived to give them all a university education. Each of her three daughters lias developed a separate gift, and uses it for the cause. Christabel has studied law, and is a good speaker, and very bright at answering questions. She is a great favorite because of her prettiness and hcr wit. At balls, she is besieged by the young men with requests to dance. Sylvia is an artist, and designs banners for the suffrage processions, and decorations for the meetings. Adela writes. But the three girls can all change parts on occasion, writing or speaking or going to prison. Mrs. Pankhurst is often called by her friends "the Mother of the Gracchi." I do not know the exact date when Emcline Pankhurst became a militant. I have nothing but admiration and respect for the woman���as I knew her���oh! it seems so long ago. COLLINGWOOD PARLIAMENT "Compulsory Arbitration in Labor Disputes" ��� Important Private Members' Bill Discussed. Premier Todrick Outlines Legislation for Coming Weeks���"Trial by Jury" to be Abolished!��� Members are Needed to Complete the "House"���Now Budding Statesman���Roll upt The Collingwood "House of Parliament" had a very unfamiliar appearance on Saturday night. Councillor Wilbers (Deputy Speaker! presided, Mr. W. H. Kent being absent. Mr. Tom Todrick occupied the place where ex-Premier Morris has been from the first night of this session, but his colleagues did not gather in force. The ladies' gallery was filled. Mrs. Drummond, Miss Logan and several members of the Women's University Club being present, and here I can let out a secret���The University Club will hold a parliament in a week or two. It will be a session iu 2013���and the debate will be on the question "Arc men worthy of the franchise?" debated of course by a parliament of women. Premier Todrick outlined government measures to be introduced during the session. Naval defence will bc again considered, also amendments to the Immigration Acts. An attempt will be made to abolish trial by jury in criminal cases! Thc house gave a gasp of surprise when this announcement was made. "Juries frequently acquit guilty men and pronounce innocent men guilty. That could not happen if a judge tried the case��� without a jury," said Premier Todrick, which statement provoked an other gasp of surprise. Mr. Todrick is a lawyer. Docs he never appeal i a jury as "the palladium of Brili-a liberty?" No mention being made <���: education���the member for Grand Forks (Mr. Lister, sen.) gave notice of a question, "What steps do the government intend to take to establish sonic form of technical education in the Province of British Columbia?" The member for Comox Mr. Lister, Jr., introduced as a Private Member's Hill "An act to amend the Industri Disputes Investigation, Act 190/ Cap. 20." Thc bill was very technical in chai actcr, but briefly its object was a settlement eef lalieer disputes by compulsory arbitration, a permanent lab"' commission being established wi;', power to enforce its decisions. M Tam Todrick gave a very able i - view of industrial legislation. Messrs Morris, Bradley, Bell, G. Lister and Bursill alsei took part in a discussion which was adjourned.

Dick, Proprietor Cutting Down the Meat Bill The high price of meat baa been one oi the must difficult problems for housewives to solve. But it a woman understands the cheaper cuts and instead of buying expensive roasts, steaks or chops, she will buy peel roasts, shoulders oi lamb or pork, rnund ur llauk steaks, she will at least find her problem much less difficult. These cuts call bc prepared in many ways thai make them so tender and appetizing, it will be difficult for anyone tee believe ihey were not the expensive cuts. The first consideration is In buy meat ill which there is no waste. When buying a shoulder of lamb have the bone removed and use it for se.up. When buying the cheaper cuts nf chops, cut nff the ends ami put these through the food grinder. In that way there will he chops inr nnc meal and croquettes fnr another. Breast of lamb is very reasonable 1 ami can in- prepared i" numerous I ways. When roasted it becomes a i rich briewn it is one ��� >t the most de- ' licioui cuts nf meat obtainable.

Instead of using steaks and chops for breakfast, delicious thick gravies can bc made and served with potatoes or on toast. Among others arc end- fish gravy, chip nf beef gravy, cream gravy, and hae. in gravy. Thc latter is made by chopping thc bacon intee small bits and frying it brown. Add one-half cup eif boiling water, then one pint of sweet milk. Season and thicken with sufficient flour tee make a thick gravy. Then pour over toast and serve. There arc man delicious, wholesome, anil nourishing soups, which rc- tplire very little or 1111 meat. These soups, made thick and principally of vegetables, when served feir dinner. materially reduce tic amount of meat necessary fnr that meal. Besides the ordinary vegetable soup, there are many cream -e.nps. such as cream of celery, cream nf onion, cream "I po- tato, and cream of rice.

CANADIAN HOME INVESTMENT COMPAm qALKS of home loan contracts in thc Canadian ���D Home Investment Company are said to have fallen off considerably since the Toronto "Saturday Night" published an article exposing the alleged;operations of this company which has its head office in Vancouver. Toronto "Saturday Night" advised the public to steer clear of the Canadian Home Investment Company, and, according to the statement of claim made in a libel action later brought against the "Saturday Night," inferred or stated that the Canadian Home Investment company specialized on securing their revenue from the unwary. Working men, many of them South Vancouver residents, have been the principle purchasers of the contracts issued by the Canadian Home Investment Company. Until the libel action now pending is disposed of, the sale of the company's contracts will continue to decline. We publish in this issue a letter from a reliable South Vancouver workingman setting forth his opinion of the Canadian Home Investment Company and its tactics. While not assuming any responsibility for the statements of that gentleman, we publish the letter for the fair consideration, not only of those who have already invested their good Canadian money in this concern, but as well as those who may be at present entertaining propositions from glib-tongued salesmen from the offices of the Canadian Home Investment Company. nexation of South Vancouver to the City of Vancouver. Chances are that the delegation's trip will prove fruitless. Already. Sir Richard has turned South Vancouver's plea for annexation down three times. It is not likely that he will yield today. There are too many considerations at stake. It matters not whether South Vancouver and the City are both anxious for annexation, the people's wishes in this matter must he lost sight of. W'e repeat that the annexation uf this municipality to Vancouver would mean the adding of a great area io the city and a population of forty thousand people. It would mean that the City of Vancouver would then have within its boundaries more than half of the total population of the Province. It would mean that the Mayor of Vancouver would have greater power, possibly, than the Premier of the Province. In short, such a move would knock the strangle hold that McBride and llowser have over the Lower Mainland largely into a cocked hat. The chances are that the delegation will get turned down cold, and tlie only good result from the visit will be that a few dyed-in-the-wool Tories who are in favor of annexation will have their eyes opened to a certain extent as to the real character of the despots at Victoria. B BY THE WAY u T MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER THE Municipal Electrician���Mr. L. F. Rawden��� paid a visit to the Collingwood and District Business Men's Association at their ordinary meeting last week. The object was to explain the proposition for a municipal electric light and power plant���a question on which the ratepayers will be called upon to vote. Mr. Rawdcn's report and suggestions were deemed so important that steps were taken to arrange for a public meeting to discuss the question. The Reeve and Councillors will be asked to attend this meeting, which will be held at the Collingwood Institute and will be fully announced in our columns. By that time, all being well, a fine arc light, of the description which can be called "Rawden's Improved" will bc installed outside the institute and will give an idea of the illumination the municipal electrician proposes to give South Vancouver. The elaborate report which Mr. Rawden has presented to the council on "municipal electricity" has already been dealt with in our columns. We venture to hope that all those who attend the meeting and all those who will be called upon to vote, will give the subject very serious consideration. Of course only those with technical knowledge of the subject could deal adequately with Mr. Rawden's very elaborate report, and before it is acted upon the proposals made should bc subjected to expert criticism of the most severe character. The area covered���the population to be, ultimately, concerned, the large expenditure involved all go to make the matter of magnitude in its importance. Speaking in the abstract the municipal ownership of utilities is a thing devoutly to be wished, that is when the municipality is run by "business men, with business methods"���when the officials are zealous and efficient, and the citizens are alive to the necessity of that "eternal vigilance" which is only the price of liberty and of good government. If South Vancouver does not intend to wake up to its responsibilities, if the people do not intend to watch the progress of events, through the public press, the various associations and otherwise, then the municipality had better let enterprizes of great pith and moment grow pale and lose the name of action. Such an undertaking as Mr. Rawden proposes needs the hearty co-operation and the live interest of every citizen. Are the citizens prepared to give that? If not! better to bear the ills we have than fly to others which will assail us if a great scheme is run���by officials��� while an apathetic public merely looks on���and pays. THE VOTERS' LIST 111S year, if your name is not on the municipal voters' list for South Vancouver, it will be your fault, not the fault of the councillors, or of the reeve, or of the "powerful interests," just plainly your fault. In every ward throughout the municipality, the council, upon the recommendation of Mr. J. B. Springford, the municipal clerk, will, for several weeks previous to the holding of the Court of Revision, have booths open from seven o'clock in the evening.until ten, and for other periods during the day, where bona fide voters may enroll their names. There will be no grounds then for any duly qualified citizen to make complaint after the elections are over. The responsibility will rest distinctly with the citizen and not with any official or member of the council. Probably the council, in deciding upon this new departure, have been influenced by the attitude of a certain section of the ratepayers during the past year, towards the administration. This year's council have received a great deal of abuse, which, if the theory of popular municipal government works out in South Vancouver, has not been warranted. It is the people who elect the reeve and council. It is assumed that the man who votes is a sane, intelligent, party. And if this be the case, then the reeve and councillors should be representative of the people. Probably the trouble in South Vancouver has heen that the people have not been paying sufficient attention to their civic duties in the past. This year's council have been handicapped by receiving little or no co-operation from the ratepayers. This plan of seeking the enrollment of ratepayers on the voters' list will be accepted as a worthy move. It indicates the fairness of the present reeve and councillors, and it is to be trusted that it will have its effect upon awakening more interest and co-operation in the administration of the municipality. A CANDIDATE FOR REEVE? SIR RICHARD McBRIDE and Mr. Edward Gold are oldtime tillicums. They were bare-foot boys together in New Westminster before W. J. Bowser had rebelled against wearing dresses, before South Vancouver was on the map, before there was any Vancouver. Councillor Thomas is our informant. "I knowed them both," says he, "in Xew Westminster long ago." Sir Richard went out into the world to achieve fame, succeeded and had fortune thrust upon him; Mr. Gold waded in to achieve fortune, succeeded, and from present indications, is about to have a portion of fame thrust upon him. (Jnc of those sarcastic eastern writers in the Toronto "Globe" stated some time ago, that Sir Richard had yet to prove whether he is a statesman or a head of hair. They couldn't say such a thing about Mr. Gold, anyway. All joking aside, information has reached us to the effect that Mr. Edward Gold will run for reeve of South Vancouver this year.

Wright, of the Jubilee Memorial Church, Burnaby, spoke on the subject of "Investments that pay."

It is the North Arm, however, that South Vancouver considers the right arm for tlie purpose. �� �� �� THE ADVOCATES of keeping the site of the recently demolished court house in Vancouver as an open space have advanced many good arguments in its favor. The fact that an open lot in the middle of the main business block of Strome, Alberta, prevented the wiping out of the whole business district during a fire last week, might also be cited as an argument.

PETER'S CHURCH ST. PETER'S CHURCH, South Vancouver, destroyed some weeks ago by an incendiary will rise again from its own ashes, if the good spirit being shown by the rector and parishioners may be taken as an indication. It is planned to immediately rebuild the church and for the time being services are being held in a store in the neighborhood, which has been transformed, through the energy and artistic ability of the rector and the men of the parish, into a charming little chapel. St. Peter's has made a call for aid, and it is to be trusted that South Vancouver people will not turn a deaf ear to the call. Subscriptions have already come in from the city, various points throughout the Province and the Old Land. St. Peter's Church has played a big part in the moulding of this new community. May its good work be allowed to continue. IT IS A RISKY thing to "swop horses when crossing a stream." It is also unwise to change the name of a street, such as Main Street, wdien the increasing stream of traffic and business suggests the appropriateness of the name. Anyway, the tradesmen of that street appear determined to stick to it might and main. ��� �� * A LETTER ADDRESSED to "Joe Laily, Canada, via America," from Australia, reached its destination recently in Cornwall without a day's delay.

Such is fame! �� * �� LETC1IWORT1L the "model village" in England, which started 15 years ago with a population of 100 has now 8000 residents. The powers that be in that town have now decided that'the limit of population shall bc 35,000 and that the establishment of Industries shall be restricted. It can safely be said that their will be no such restrictions in South Vancouver, and as to industries, especially, the cry will always be "let them all come." * �� �� "THREE ACRES AND A COW" used to be year- ago a great political cry in the Old Country. It fcras Joseph Chamberlain's old henchman, Jesse Collings, who stumped the country for years demanding this as the right of every agricultural laborer. Somebody in Vancouver has evidently for some years been putting this demand into practice on land near English Bay belonging to the City of Vancouver. But the city fathers do not approve of those Utopian ideas, and sitting in solemn conclave the other day decided t' i destroy the barn and remove thc cow from city property to pastures new. �� �� �� A VANCOUVER PAPER seeking to minimise the Liberal victory in South Bruce stated that the victory was a "fair offset" to the recent capture of Chateau guay by the Conservatives. It might also be stated that it was a. rare upset to some Conservative calculations. �� �� * PEOPLE IN GREATER VANCOUVER (i.e., tho-e who do not themselves own autos) have, been complaining for years about excessive motor speeding.

By their noise shall ye hear them, and by their smell shall ye afterwards know that ye have escaped destruction. * % * A READER OF THE "ChinSok" says de does not approve of the "Lancet's" attack on the Englishman's breakfast of bacon and eggs, and its advocacy of "coffee and rolls" instead.

In Ladner and the Delta swine raising especially has been a considerable source of wealth. With the new ferry from the Delta in operation, we may reasonably expect, for one thing, to find that bacon and eggs with coffee will become more popular in South Vancouver than thc "coffee and" recommended by the medical journal. �� �� ��� M. SENDA, ONE OF the principal Japanese speakers at the official dinner given a few days ago in Vancou ver in honor of thc Mikado's birthday, announced that it was Japan's ambition to be mistress of the Pacific Ocean. Although Mayor Baxter and a number of Canadian and British subjects were present, the Japanese orator calmly invited them all to "assist Japan in this ambition of hers, so that the Pacific Ocean would no longer divide the great nation of the earth." As no protest of any kind appears to have been made by Mayor Baxter or any other British speaker with regard to this startling declaration of policy no doubt the Japanese present consider that Vancouver is resigned to its fate. If such is thc ambition now openly avowed by the Jap, what can bc the secret aim of the silent Chink? But why should we worry?

By GOUVERNEUR MORRIS In Two Parts���PART ONE In most affairs, except tboM which related t <�� bit matrimonial ventures, Marcui Antonius Saterlec *u I pat- I lent man. On three occasion! "an ardent temperament and the heart of a dove," as he himself had expressed it, hid corralled a wife within his house. The lirst had been llie love fi Ins childhood; the wooing of the second had lasted but six weeks; tbat of the thin! lint three lie- rejoiced ill thc fact that lie bad heen I good husband tee three good women, lie lamented tbat all were dead. Now and then he squirmed his hull head around on his bull body, and glanced acrosi the isle at the showy woman who was daintily picking a chicken wing, Each time hc looked he mut- I. red : "Flighty. Too slight. Stuck on herself, I'inhcad," etc. With hii food Saterlee wai not patient. Ik- dispensed with mastication. Neither was he patient eef other people's matrimonial ventures. And, in particular, that contemplated and threatened by his son and heir was moving across three hundred miles of inundated country as fast as a train cnuld carry him. His son had written : "Dearest Dad���I've found Dorothy again. She's at Carcassone. They thought her lungs were had, but they aren't. We're geiing to be married a week from today���next Friday���at 9 a.m. This marriage is going tee take place. Daddy dear. You can't prevent it. I write this so's tee be on the square. I'm inviting you to the wedding. I'll be hurt if you don't show up. What if Dorothy's mother is an actress and has been divorced twice? You've been a marrying man yourself. Dad. Dorothy is all darling from head to feeot. But 1 love you, too, Daddy, and if yeiu can't see it my way, why, God bless and keep vou just the same. JIM." T can't deny that Marcus Antonius Saterlee was touched by his son's epistle. But he was not moved out of reason. "The girl's mother," he said to himself, "is a painted, divorced jade." And he thought with pleasure of thc faith, patience and rectitude of the three gentle companions whom he had successively married and buried. "There was never any divorce in the Saterlec blood," he had prided himself. "Man or woman, we stick by our choice till he or shc turns up his or her toes. Not till then do we think of anybody else. But then wc do, because it is not good to live alone, especially in a small community in Southern California." He glanced once more at the showy lady across thc isle. Shc was finishing her chicken wing, and was dipping hcr fingers in a finger-bowl, thus displaying to sparkling advantage a number of handsome rings. "My boy's girl's mother a painted actress." he muttered as he looked. "Not if I know it." And then he muttered: "You'd look like an actress if you was painted." Though the words cannot have been distinguished, the sounds were audible. "Sir?" said the lady, stiffly but courteously. "Nothing, Ma'am," muttered Mark Anthony, much abashed. "I'm surprised to see so much water in this arid corner of tbe world, where I have often suffered for want of it. 1 must have been talking to myself to thnt effect." The lady looked out of the window ���not her's, but Satcrlee's. "It does look." she said, "as if the waters had divorced themselves from the bed of ocean. I suppose," she continued, "wc may attribute tli..-��- constant and tedious delays tei which we have been subjected all day to the premature nulling e,f snow in the laitnesses of the Sierras?" This phrase did lie.I sh'eck Sa'.et- lec II' ��.e- eraaaed by iln- powei of memory which it proved, Fof three hours earlier he' hael read a dote paraphrase of it in a copy of th.

''Not when we expect tee, Ma'am," saiel Saterlee. The train gave a jolt. And then. very quietly, the dining-car redleel over e.n iu side down the embankment. There- wa, a subdued smashing of china and glass. A clergyman at eme' e,( ilie rear tables quietly remarked. "Washout," and Saterlee, whe. hael neit forgotten thc days when lie had learned to fall from a bucking bronco, relaxed his great muscles ami swore roundly and at greal length. The car came to rest at thc bottom fi the embankment, less on ii- side than on its top. For a moment-���or se, it seemed���all was perfectly quiet. Then Satterlee saw the ihowy lady across the aisle descending upon him through the air. "Thank ynu." she murmured, as her impact drove must of thc breath "in of Satterlee's bull body. "How strong yen arc!" "When yem are rested, Ma'am." said hc. with extreme punctiliousness. "1 think wc may leave the car by climbing over the sides of the seats on this side." lie preceded her over and over the sides of thc scats, opened the car door, and helped her to the ground. And then, his lmart of a parent having awakened to the situation, he forgot her and forsook her. lie pulled a timetable from his pocket, and consulted a mile-post. It was forty miles to Carcasonne���and only two t.i Grub City���a lively city of the plain. "Grub City���hire buggy���drive to Carcasonne.'' he muttered, and he moved forward with great strides.

"Carcasonne." said Saterlee. "Not the junction���the resort." "Well." said the proprietor, "there's just one horse and just one trap in Grub City, and they ain't for hire. We've no use for them," said the great man. "So they're for sale. Now what do you think they'd bc worth t'i you?" "Fifty dollars." he said, as one accustomed to business. It was then that a panting female voice was raised behind him. "Sixty dollars!" His showy acquaintance of the dining-car had followed him along thc ties as fast as she could and was just come up! "I thought you two was a trust." commented thc proprietor's wife, who stood near. "But it seems you ain't even a community of interests." "Seventy dollars," said Saterlee quietly. The lady advanced to his side, counting the change in her purse. "Seventy-six dollars and eighty-five cents," she said. "Eighty dollars," said Saterlee. "Oh! cried the lady, "seventy-six eighty-live is every cent I've got with mc���and you're no gentleman to bid higher." "Eighty," repeated Saterlee. "Eighty dollars," said the son-in- law, "feer a horse and buggy that a man's never seen is too good to be- true."

"1 take your point, Ma'am." said Saterlee." I can promise nothing. It's all up to the horse." "Of course," said the lady, "it doesn't really matter. "But," and she spoke a little bitterly, "several times iu my life my actions and my motives have been open to misconstruction, and they have been misconstrued. I have suffered, sir, much." "Well.

The proprietor entered the conver- ed through the puddle, covering Saterlee and the lady with mud, and, having reached the other side, fell once more into a halting walk. Once more the road ran under a shallow of water. And once more the old mare remembered that she had been whipped, and made a rush for it. Fresh mud was added to that which had already dried upon them by the dry miracle of the air. "She'd ought to have been a motor- boat," said Saterlee, the mud which had entered his mouth gritting unpleasantly between his teeth. The mare rushed through another puddle. The lady laughed.

Preceding the reception given by the Women s Canadian Club in honor ol Miss Margaret Aiiglm, at Gk-ncue Lodge recently, a business nieeling of the club was held in llie Sunday school room of Wesley Church. Two important matters, one ol them likely lo have a lar-reaching etlecl, were taken up. The presidenl, Mrs. J. J. Uaulield, presented tu the club lhe proposition ol buying more shares in ihe Women's iiuililing, -Ltd. The club already holds about $3U0 worth ol shares, and by the unanimous vote of lhe meeting a motion to the etlecl that the club purchase the value of $400 in shares was passed. The second matter of business was llie proposed memorial to the late Miss 1'aul- nie Johnson, This occasioned some discussion. The club was unanimous in wishing tu have some memorial,' but was divided as to what form it should take. While the club will not be entirely responsible lor the memorial, they telt that it was their duty to inaugurate the movement by starling a fund. Mrs. Banfield slated.that alter careiul consideration the committee had decided that a fountain erected near the poetess' grave would be a lilting memorial; the ever flowing stream symbolizing the constant pleasure to be found in lhe poems left by this gifted woman. The fountain would meet with the approval of the Park Board, she said, and would also be within reason as to cost. Mrs. Patterson moved that the club endorse this plan, while Mrs. Alorris moved an amendment to the effect that the memorial take the form of a hall in the Woman's Building, to be named for Miss Johnson. After some discussion Mrs. R. J. Wilson, in an amendment to thc amendment, moved that the club use its influence in having the hall named for Miss Johnson, but adhere to the original plan to erect a memorial in the park. After further consideration the club voted in favor of tlie memorial in Stanley Park by a large majority. Before closing Mrs. Banfield stated that the club had sent a message ol" welcome to' H. R. Hi the Duchess of Connaught on her return tu Canada. The Children's Christmas Money It is drawing around the time of year when evenings grow long and chill and after the home study there is yet a little time that could profitably be spent in making gills for dear friends ere it is time to sleep, but the grave problem of how tp secure the necessary articles; or the wherewithal to purchase the material is what usually confronts the growing boy or girl who is not yet earning for themselves, but 1 have just heard of one family who solved the problem in a most satisfactory manner, and 1 shall tell my readers of it, and if too late fur this year, it will stand for another, eer offer suggestions for something else. They live ou a farm a few miles from the city, and consequently, their wares must be Something that can lind a ready sale among city people, There are two children in the family, a buy and girl, the girl being the youngest. The work of the boy during the summer was collecting mushrooms iu the fields and pastures. There are several varieties which he collected separately and obtained a good price for them, At first he sold thein to hotels, but when it became known that he had them, their market was made, and private families ordered them ahead, often more than he could obtain. He intends raising thein in a barn-cellar next year, as well as gathering those in the fields. The girl goes to the woods and digs ferns, bring each root in a ball of its own favorite leaf-mold. These lovely ferns are in demand in thc city, and good prices can bc obtained from them. Several dozen are often dug before being ordered and she places them in wooden boxes. She carries them to her customers in thc boxes, and also sets thc ferns out for her customers without extra charge, and by doing so, often makes a success of the planting when otherwise might lie a failure. The eliilil being among them so much, kne.HS better the way they should be planted, the proper soil and location. These young people iln not have much Ireiuble in working'np a trade, as one person tells another and so i en. It is harder for city children to earn money, but one little twelve- year-old girl has succeeded in earning several dollars by making doll hats and elothes. The hats are made from felt pressed into the proper shape, trimmed with odds ami ends of ribbon, tiny flowers and feathers for winter use, or from straw sewed, pressed, and trimmed with flowers, lace or ribbon for summer use. I must explain hcr way of pressing the felt into the desired shape, as seeme other little girls may like to make seiine. She lakes a piece "ef left larger than the hat needs lee be when completed, as the crown will take up seeme- e.f lhe size. The centre of llle fell is wet, and is placed on a form thai will make it the proper size ami shape wilh lhe lingers (which is easy when the material is well and then a warm flat iron is useel to dry it. Pressing when wel will stiffen the crenvu see it will always keep its shape The size- depends on the doll it is to be used feer, and llle little maiden uses anything freem a thimble to a teacup to press the crown on. For a Tam-o-Slianler a separate crown is made and sewed on. friends keep lhe child supplied with scraps of silk, felt, ribbon, fancy straw and flowers, so that her stock in Irade has cost her nothing, She uses line wire for the edge of straw hats, and lee stiffen the bows and loops of ribbon, and displays much taste in her work. The prices range from three t.i fifteen cents, according lo size and quality of the hats, and her reputation as a milliner is now made sej lhat the children collie from far and near lei buy her wares, This may give ideas tei senile clever girl to begin in time lo gather material fur her Xmas trade, besides such work gives the children confidence in their own ability as weel as the comfort of buying Something with their own money. * * * Seen in the Shops -Never before have collars and culls, rullles, lichus and uther dainty neck iixmgs occupied so much ut woman's attendun as tliey are doing jusl now.

Orpheum Theatre Edna Aug. who i- appearing at the Orpheum Ihis week with such marked success tells an amusing story of her tirst hunting trip in Arizona. They had ridden feer mile's eever the blistering sands in search of game, when she became fatigued and sought rest among some large boulders, where she dismounted and sat down to rest. Suddenly she noticed her horse shy, almost dragging her off her feet. Scenting danger she immediately mounted and away shot tbe pony. When she gained control of him, she returned to the spot, and there perched on the same boulder upon which she sat but a moment before, was a gila monster, one of the most hideous and lothesome of American reptiles. I raised the 30-30 and bingo. A more gila monster. I was frightened out of my wits. A short while after my friends came back and one of the gentlemen in the party had something done up in a horse blanket which he hugged close to his breast, saying: "Here Edna. I've brought you a souvenir" and be laid down a live gila monster, larger than tbe one I had shot. Miss Aug is authority for the statement that she was too ashamed to call attention to the fact that she had killed one because it had scared her. particularly when told that their bite was non- poisonous. i^i Friends of Mr. Harry McAllister, the well-known blacksmith of Collingwood. and Mrs. McAllister are congratulating them upon the arrival ��� >f a bonny little daughter on October GREATER VANCOUVER AND THE PAGEANT The "Ad men" of Vancouver have decided to have a "grand Vancouver pageant" in June.

The pleasures >jl ant ici- I palieeii are great ami tknowing 81 we ih. iln calibre of the men who have set their bands to the ta-k ii is safe to predict that i^n pageant will realize the fondest hopes \i the l'.eiie|iie-i iii the Progress i Club when tlit- important pageant waa decided upon South Vancouver and Burnaby were well represented. Mr I \\ Weart, Mr. Eugene Cleveland, Mr W H Kent and Mr J. Francis Bursill were present, and as may be easily guessed, "Fella Penne" stimulated to a large extent interest! in ihe- proceedings, pleading, aa he always is eleiniK. for more color, poetry, art and imagination lee leaven the commercial hf> oi e.nr busy city. The "Vancouver Pageant" will d" ihi- leavening, and will thus help, not hinder, industry ami commerce'. As Mr. Hursill eloquently pointed e.ut, ancient as well as modern history proves that the poet, the painter, the actor and the musician are all factors j in the development ot a city. When Phidias was carving works of art which the world has never excelled, when Desmosthencs was stirring the I heart with his oratory, and Plato was j talking philosophy in academic groves the men of Athens were not dallying with Phrync's in the shade, but exercising mind and body in industries, tbe fame of which have come down to us, and a commerce which tilled ports with laden argosies���ever coming and going in building up a city the admiration of the world that was, is and will be. Such festivals as ancient Athens had. such pageants as now t?.kc place and such as Vancouver has determined upon will set heads and hands at work along right line-:., will stimulate trade and encourage local patriotism and pride. A Vancouver poet���one of our leading commercial men has sung��� Vancouver, Gate of Empire Wide, A future vast we prom'se you. You lie in smiling grace beside The Western Sea of Blue; Behind you stretch the ageless hills With untold wealth to gleam, Their mighty grandeur jewelled oft With valley, lake and stream. And as Mr. Weart so heartily insisted, Vancouver, means and always mean "Greater Vancouver"���the ambitious and enterprising area which counts the Fraser River as well as the e.cean kissed slmre as territory. In the bright vocabulary of "The Sunset City" there is no such word as "fail," because thc energy, the experience, the wisdom, the wit, the diplomacy, 'he self sacrifice and public spirit of "Greater Vancouver" can be re-lied upon to co-operate in any movement which shall redound to the credit and help the progress of thc eity and the province we love.

The congregation of St. Peter's are not able, unassisted, to replace the building and pay for the site, the estimated ceist of which is $10,000.00. "The church was built just five years ago, and never received any help from diocesan funds either in its erection or for the support of its incumbent, the Rev. G. F. C.

For this purpose we desire that a separate collection be taken at the door of the church on the Sunday after this appeal has been made. Donations received should be sent either to the Ven.

HOCKEY BOWLING Skene Ronan, the Ottawa player, ( evidently imagines that dollars arc plucked from the tree tops out this way. He has consented to come West and play hockey for Vancouver for the sum of $1600 cold cash for the season and a job that will not pay- less than $100 per month. Quite reasonable from Roman's viewpoint. But the Ottawa player should remember that the commission was organized to bring about a more sensible understanding between players and the owners. In the past players received more than they were worth in many cases and now it is intended that the salaries shall be adjusted and thc game placed on a sane basis. We are sure to find a few players dissatisfied with the new arrangement, but their demands should not be taken seriously. Just so long as they are treated fairly there is nn room for argument and they should let well enough alone. Ronan's demands will not be met nor will Lalonde get away from the Coast League unless a good man conies this way in exchange for the boss advertiser in Canadian sport.

Papke remained in obscurity until Frank Klaus, who held the title, was knocked out recently by George Chip. Now Papkc wants to fight Chip, who from all accounts, is a pretty tough customer. The middleweight title has been a bone of contention ever since thc death of Stanley Ketchel. Eddie Me- Goorty, Jack Dillon and Jimmy Clab- by have laid claim to it. Not one of these men would have a look in while Rob Fitzsimmons held the title after beating Jack Dempsey. Tommy Ryan, who succeeded Fitz, probably would have whipped them all and the same might be said of Joe Wolcott, the giant killer, who was the undisputed welterweight champion of the world. * * sr Boxing Stars for Montreal Boxing is to be revived in Montreal at an early date.

Al time goes by, Smith Vancou ver pe iple are developing local South Vancouver and Civic Reform Two recent addresses at the Vancouver Progress Club should make Vancouver citizens think! More than that it should lead to action in the development of the home life of the people in promoting the building up of Greater Vancouver as a city of homes, and getting the people out of the crowded city rooming houses where the conditions are not good for mind, body or soul. The address which Dr. Proctor gave on tuberculosis and the equally illuminating address which Mr. \V. R. Owen gave on "Parks and open spaces" should make all South Van- couveritcs glad and thankful that there are still broad acres of land and a glorious, open flowing, breeze- kissed river to act as a corrective to the foeted atmosphere���foeted physically and morally���of congested city environments. Already has the address of Dr. Proctor been commented upon by one who heard it and saw its importance. "Dr. Proctor made the amazing statement that we are actually manufacturing this terrible disease of "tuberculosis" at a greater rate than we have facilities to handle it. He further stated that during the three months ending June of the present year forty-two cases of tuberculosis were reported from rooming houses; places where���owing to the constant contact in lifts, corridors and through areas into which windows open for both ventilation and light (I say light advisedly, for the sun is unknown there)���such diseases are most likely to spread. Surely it should not require much thought to grasp the seriousness of such a condition, and surely when grasped, thc average citizen can realize that he is neglecting his duty to himself and the public, by allowing it to continue for a single day." This is sensible comment, and those who agree with it should use every possible effort to bring South Vancouver in line with those garden cities where space, air and sunshine have reduced the death rate and made health and beauty the rule instead of the exception. "We are all so enthusiastic about out Greater Vancouver, but what makes a city, or even a nation for that matter really great? Is it not the character of its citizens every time, and where is character chiefly built? Is it not in the homes of the people, healthy, happy homes, where both body and mind can expand freely on right lines." Hear! hear! This is good talk, Mr. liland, and every South Vancouverite will agree with you that we have unquestionably, the making of a beautiful and prosperous city, with beautiful natural surroundings, and it is the duty of every citizen, individually to see to it that it is filled with heathy bodies and healthy minds. Now is the time to tackle the weaknesses in our social system and eliminate them and the work must be undertaken in thc spirit of William Blake, who declared fight against the evils of his city and said his sword should not be sheathed until he had made his spot of earth "a new Jerusalem." FRANK BARREAU MAY MEET AD WOLGAST Arrangements Under Way to Match Local Boy With Former Lightweight Champion The rapid rise of Frank Barrieau, the local boxer, to a place of prominence among the mat-wielders of thc day, has given admirers of thc Vancouver hoy hopes of greater things for this Canadian product of tin- squared circle. Barrieu's meteoric flight into prominence is one of thc outstanding incidents of Coast ring history for 191.1. Practically known only to the amateur boxers and their followers, Barrieau's remarkable ihowin�� in his bout with Leach Cross at the Minoru Arena on Labor Day gave him an instant standing among thc little boyi of the ring. All the more noteworthy was Barrieau's introduction into the select circle in view of thc fact that he was one of thc principals in the ring before the holiday crowd chiefly through accident. It will be remembered that Labor Day was the original date set for the Ritchie-Welsh bout for the lightweight championship of the world. A couple of weeks preceding this bout, Welsh sprained an ankle, necessitating a postponement of the big show. Not to disappoint the holiday crowd, Barrieau, who was acting as one of the sparring partners of Willie Ritchie was selected to go into thc squared circle as an opnonent of Leach Cross, who then and who today is one of the aspiring candidates for the lightweight crowd. What Barrieau did to Cross on that occasion is of too recent date to require any detailed statement. Suffice it to say that after Barrieau had floored Cross for the third time in the third round of the bout, Cross went to his corner and in reply to thc entreaties of his seconds to start something excitedly- explained that he had not picked a "boob" in Barrieau. Since this memorable bout, Barrieau has passed into the managcreal care of Bert Halstead, thc well-known sporting figure of Vancouver and Eburne, who has shown marked ability in bringing the Vancouver boy along. A couple of weeks ago Barrieau took on Bums, who has proved a hard nut to crack for many of the top-notchcrs, and won easily. In that bout Barrieau attempted to get within the lightweight limit but his weakened condition in that affair will hardly lead his friends In believe that he can train down to this point and be at his best. Arrangements are now being made tn match Barrieau with one of the leading lightweights now before the public, the bout tn be pulled off some time about the end nf thc mnnth at the Municipal Hall, at Edmonds. Ad Wolgast is one of the prospective opponents and if the former champion can be secured it slinuld prove a mighty lively engagement when these two bozers clash. Wolgast, although deprived of the lightweight course, continues to bc a great drawing card and local followers of the sport will have a double interest in the bnut in not only witnessing one of the greatest lightweights of recent ring history, but in having an opportunity of witnessing a further test for the Vancouver boy. on conditions in this part of Greater Vancouver. It is a splendid opportunity which they will no doubt grasp to thc full. 1 ^ ��� ��� Mr. W. J. Prowse has thc cleanest office window in Greater Vancouver, which, he says, helps business.
