/ ^eo;isiative Ass AUb 12 191 TORlA, 5 SUBSCRIPTION $1 A YEAR IN ADVANCE Published in the Interests of Greater Vancouver. VOLUME in H. H. Stevens, Editor. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, AUGUST 11, 1911. No. 14 FOREIGN ELEMENT ['' A perusal of the Canadian criminal records will ijeveal to the student of criminology this startling, pet that a very targe percentage of ".crimes ...are .ommitted by "foreigners," among whom the (ftalian is conspicuous for crimes of blood, or as Ft is termed, "against the person." I, This week.we must record the shooting on Main [street of one man to death and a second being mortally wounded. This is simply another se-ri- lous crime added to numerous preceding ones Union g the local 'Italian residents. A charaeteris- tic feature of nearly all these crimes is the extreme difficulty the authorities have "in getting Icvidence which will lead to the arrest and conviction'of the perpetrators, even the victims and witnesses refuse to give any assistance. There teems'"to'be. a dread* of the 'Black Hand" and JU baneful influence. This nefarious organization exercises such a powerful influence over the iUinds of the local Italian'colony that none can }fi found-who wiil assist the police to eradicate it. jo effort or expense should be spared to effect pe arrest of tlie guilty parties and the most jvere sentence ought to be imposed. The system of colonizing these foreigners also Inds itself to tlie propagation of crime. Almost ^variably these crimes are perpetrated in the Jeartiof the ������������������ colony and this increases tho diffi- tilty of detection, as well as providing causes br'ffie;frequent rows. If it were possible to scat- lr these colonies and also impose severe penal* )|es for carrying concealed weapons it might tend lessen the number of the crimes. It is a prob- fni which must be dealt with and the sooner the fetter fpr the safety of the community. WHERE CANADA GETS HER CAPITAL Statistics Which Are Conclusive ��������� Reciprocity a Political Move ��������� Some American Views. UNANSWERABLE STATISTICS. |*SomeApetty, spiteful pastern .iournals^np^-.ro"��������� Eicnig over the fact that Vancouver has at last lacked a point where advancement has ceased, V:'least so they blatantly remark. We are not pare of any "slump" and.can proudly point to Rerring statistics to confirm ns in the opinion Lat the 'much talked of reactionary conditions do l)t exist. ���������������������������; [Although''.-Vancouver is reputed to be only half (b size of Seattle, our bank clearings for last - F?ek were over one-half million dollars over those J the Sound city. They were greater than St. liil. Portland. JDeuver, Indianapolis. Washing- m,' I), p., and many other, large American cities. key came very close to those great business cents' Milwaukee.

Shipping tonnage has almost doubled, and lildiug permits are about 30 per cent, over cor- fponding period last year. In every branch of, trade we Can show a sub- Antial increase with no sign of abatement, and |U some of our jealous eastern cities will croak. [Vancouver citizens have just reason to be l>ud of Ihe substantial growth.of our city and l\\](\ keep these figures in mind when they meet "knocker"���������they are unanswerable argu- liit. The supporters of reciprocity are loudly declaiming against what they term the."flag waving taetics" of the Tories and are seeking^to delude the voter by saying the Reciprocity pact is a "business proposition" and has nothing; to do w ith patriotism. Well, we will examine it f rom that standpoint. 7 '���������'������.. 7 In ordinary business circles i t is c ustomary to give a preference to. the party, from whom the greatest favors or advantages can be obtained. This does not n ecessarily mean that others must be "cut out," but simply that preference be given in response to valuable commercial or financial assistance. For instance, a'retailer will give a larger patronage to the -wholesaler who will give him the best t erms or who will oblige him when money is tight. Or a merchant will patronize a bank which will advance him the greatest line of .- credit;'etc; Now ..when Canada looksi aboutfor some new departure in her fiscal policy it is natural to ask who is our bestyjustomer, -or from whom do we get t he greatest assist<incef Up to the present Canada has received, for investment, from Great Britain, the enormous sum of $1,860,000,000, or nearly two billion dollars. From the United States we '.'have received a total of $417,143,000. being about 22% per cent;-<>f the amount received from Great Britain. These figuresT, are exceedingly significant and must be taken into consideration when discussing this question. London is the great clearinghouse of the wTorkl and from London there is constantly flowing a stream of gold for investment in various;.parts7of the Globe. Canada's great need is Capital to develop , Uer jiclynatural resources, bujt7 hiow^canv^e ex^7 pect British Capital to flow into tliis country if" we deliberately give a p reference to a ^country which' is Britain's greatest rival for. our trade? Then, again, in the year ending March 31. 1911;, Canada imported from the United States. $284.- .935,000 worth of goods. This was an increase of 27 per cent over the previous year, while our exports to the United States only increased two per cent. Now then, here we have a customer whose purchases from us only increases two p er cent., while our purchases from them increased 27,per cent., asking us to enter into a reciprocity trade relation... If the United States popple are sincere in-their expressions why have they not shown it by cultivating in some degree our trade? Hitherto the only value Canada-held .in their-eyes is as ��������� a.."good market for the finished article and a desirable source of supply of cheap raw materials. Now the condition of onr trade relation with Great Britain" is exactly the reverse of that of America. We sell to 'Britain about two and .on'e-' "JudfT:im^~7is~~h^^^^ addition we borrow from her over four times the, amount we do f rom America. So. if-we were to look at this question from a strictly "business" standpoint, we are forced to admit that Britain 'has7extensive claims upon its, while the United States are under deep obligations to us. It would-be interesting at t his point to quote some eminent American views: James J. Hill, that great'transportation magnate, said, when the United,States Senate ratified the Bill: "The eoun- stry (United States) has profited more by what the agreement has prevented than by what it-has y gained, The good it will bring is only a siiia I! consideration. What would have happened if we '���������-.had riot passed the treaty? That is the great question. There would have been a r evival of a move for Imperial Federation, and if we had refused to trade with the best customer we have for our manufacturers, we should have been sorry ; for it in years to come." This great financier arid transportation expert saw that great trade tendencies were inevitably leading towards closer imperial trade relations and this' would mean greater activity in the "East and West" trade Y.-rorites,while his great object and policy has been Yfor vears to divert the trade routes "North and ... ySouth.^ ..'- - ��������� ";'7Y. ':':7':'' Y In an editorial in the "Buffalo Evening News" ,7wcs, read: "It is not only good business policy 7- (for America) to pass the Bill," but it is good politics. Everyone with eyes open can see that from Y the standpoint of the politician and judged by the severest Rules of the Game, the President is un- [���������-. sin-passed in his felicity of choice of time to lay 77xlown the reciprocity7ultimatum," Wha$ isYmeaut y 7 by7 "choice of time'*? Simply thisy-at the last ;77geneiral7"elections'-;tiie'--I)empcratie' Party were re- tijriied-on a policy of tariff revision and a:7whoier sjile; redaction of rates. Taft, like a wise states- 7 7 -#stit.saw what! wasTthe wish^of the public and an- , ticip'ated the Democratic Congress by .opehing negotiations with Canada for reciprocity, thnshe has outflanked the Democrats, and while the Re- .-.-, publican policy (of which he was champion), of high tariff has been repudiated by the7people, he. has been able to introduce and successfully carry a measure Avhich will satisfy the���������public demands, without sacrificing his party' policy. There is no doubt but that this move of Mr. Taft/s was'actu- ���������-ated0by political motives pure and simple. Mr. Taft is now able to say (that is if Canada passes0 the Bill). "I have done more for you than the Democrats. They purposed reducing the tariff without any 'adequate'returns, but look what I have done, I have reduced the tariff on those- things which we badly need for oui* manufacturers and received in return a reduction of Canadian tariff on finished articles." It is one of the cleverest moves in modern political history. The obvious thing for Canada to do is to take their cue from the clever tactics of Mr. Taft and " simply" sit^gh^ tion of the American tariff by the Democratic Congress. Why should we allow ourselves to be used as a tool in the hands of Mr. Taft to assist: him to repair the shattered fortunes of his party'/ DEATH OF PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN. The. wide circle of friends of Mr. R. H. Diike were shocked to hear o������ his death on Wednesday last. Mr. Duke had been ill only a few days.

In British Columbia we have not been blessed with any great mileage of trunk roads aud the public will appreciate . the efforts of the government to improve our roadways. Several important trunk roads are under construction this year and large suras of "money will be spent in this way. A new country such as British Columbia ean- uot become settled and developed unless the settler is enabled to'-get to and from the centres of population. Then again, as an inducement to settlement tourist traffic by auto is a most important factor, so that every dollar spent in making good roads will bring returns in many different ways. There is, however, a vast difference between a. cheap turnpike road and a first-class road, well "-made and kept in repair. The scientific American in an editorial on this subject has the following to say .- "Chief among the qualities of a good road is that of durability, and durability can be assured only by first-class work in construction and by ceaseless vigilance in maintaining the road in perfect condition. It goes.without saying that the highways of America, considered as a whole, are not to be compared with those of the older European, countries. After a motor ear.tour through Europe, the returning American beco es painfully aware of the fact that in this most important matter, his country, even if we allow; for its comparative youthfulness, is many decades behind that stage of development to which its wealth and enterprise should have carried it long ago. "The fundamental requirements of a good road are an ample foundation and good drainage. Without these, the most carefully leveled -.aiid smoothly rolled top surface is nothing more than a delusion and a snare. Furthermore, a road whicii has been built with deep foundations, good drainage, and an ample depth of suitable top dressing���������unless it be watched and tended with the most solicitous attention���������will go to pieces only a little less rapidly than the cheap product of the scraper and horse roller." OUE VANISHING OYSTER SUPPLY. Official Statement of Conservation Commission��������� Alarming Depletion of Resources. **************************- ************************** ************************** AVhen eating oysters djd y_<UL_ ever wonder where they were grown.' The chances are even that they came from the I'nited States. liast year Canada paid out over ipHM.OUO for foreign-grown oysters that she could have easily produced herself. In addition to this, the consumer had to pay over .+4'U>00 duty on them. Although the natural conditions for growing oysters in the Maritime Province are excellent, the annual production has been steadily decreasing. iu 1S.S_. then1 were ti4.(i4(j barrels harvested, while in lf)07 the production was only '21,'IW barrels. This decrease has taken .place in Ihe face..of an increase, in price of 240 percent, in. the'past twenty years, which, needless to say, has greatly.stimulated the efforls of the fishermen. AVe may well ask why Canada is commit ting the economic blunder of importing a product-'that she could produce.herself:' Tbe reason, iii this case, is that a. dispute over jurisdiction betAveen the Dominion and Provincial. (.'Jove.rnmenls has left the iisheniien in such a slate of uncertainty that he does not '-are Jo invest his capital in the artificial-..1 cultivation of oysters. The experience of other countries goes to show that tlie oyster industry' -can only he put on ;i permanent''basis'by means of oyster farms maintained by private individuals. Indeed, in the I'nited States *l<UHIo.O00 worth of the $1S.U00.()i>0 worth of oysters produced annually is" derived' from private culture. As the jurisdictional dispute now-stands as a result of u'decision by the Imperial" Privy Council in ISiJN.the Provinces own the foreshore ou which the oysters are grown, while the-Dominion has the right to impose reguiativereslrictions such as close seasons and the kind of fishing gear that may be used. which could virtually render the privilege of the right-to fish worthless. By" the same decision it- was held that both the Dominion and the Provinces concerned had the right to tax the oyster cultur- ist. Unless the governments concerned can soon arrive at a compromise, definitely settling matters of jurisdiction so that the oyster farmer will be enabled to engage in artificial propagation, tbe oyster beds will be fished out. I."nrestricted fishing ..stimulated by high prices will now speedily complete the depletion ������������f this valuable natural resource unless private cultivation can,be induced. ������ I THE WESTERN CA1J | HILLCREST P. 0.

Tlie Intense Bitterness That Divides Isiam and Hindooism. It la difficult t<> express rUe eternal and Inevitable hatred mid detestation which have always existed between tbe Mohammedan and tbe Hindoo in India It is often forgotten by critics tbat the differences net ween tbe Mohammedan's religion aud the Englishman's are minute compared with those tbat divide Islam and Hindooispi They of the east take tbeir religion much more eeriously than we of the west, and in the eyes of Islam tbe dog of a Christian is far better than the swiue of a Hindoo. The Pathans of the northwestern frontier���keen, hardy am' releutless fighters, without education and without the wish for it���may stand as a type of the Mohammedans. They are kept from the throat of Hindustan ouly by the preseuce of the British government. If restraint were removed 'ruin the Mohammedan the Hindoos would go down like grain before tbe sickle, and the Pathans would turn India iuto one widespread hell. The first to fly would be our friend the bal)u Yet he is precisely the man who today does all be can to make British rule, in .India, difficulty Were there any chance of his succeeding agitatiou would promptly cease. Grim indeed would be the silence of the Bengali press about the moral delinquencies of the white man. Tbe Brahman agitator knows his Englishman and 'Understands exactly how far he may be trusted to go doggedly on with his ungrateful work. I once saw a curious instance of the contempt in which the educated Bengali babu is held by men of bis own blood. Toward the close of 1902 I was traveling up to the Durbar at Delhi and happened to be in tbe dining car on the three foot Rajputana-Malwa railroad. A well known rajput asked if be might join me at dinner. I was delighted and found him a most interesting companion. Prom first to last nothing could exceed bis courtesy.

Novel Plan' Projected Here Which May Outstrip The Hague Tribunal��� Discovery of Ingenious Method of Living For Nothing Without Violating the Law���Wierd Crop of Hot Weather Stories. Montreal, Aug. 6.���That mechanically and chemically produced fogs, to be turned loose at will, may become a more important factor than The Hague peace tribunal in the elimination of war is the most significant feature of the offer of a local inventor to sell to the government u secret process by which it is claimed fogs can be produced whenever and wherever wanted. The. idea originated along agricultural lines as the result of an effort to protect growing crops from the sun during dry periods, and to supply them with moisture. It developed, howevor, that while the fogs might be used to blot out the sunlight, the moisture which they contained would be of little or no value as a substitute for rain. It was then that the value in case of war ot fogs, which could be produced at will, became apparent. The squadron of an enemy once enveloped by one of these artificial 'fogs would be pracii- cally helpless ai.d at the niercy of the torpedo boats, while even on land a fog-bound army' would be greatly hampered. While the process by which the fogs are produced-has'not yet been proven on a. large scale,-the. possibilities are apparent and it may be that the idea, at. first considered as a purely defensive war measure, may yet result in making both1 land and naval battles impossible. ��� Living For Nothing.

HAIFORD ��������� The Grocer ? 4 > A 4 * ' V * * ************************A.,f t X The great salt lake at Obdorsh is nine miles wide and seventeen miles long, yet except in a few places it is solidly roofed over with a deposit ot salt which is becoming thicker and thicker each year. About the middle of the last century salt crystals first began to gather upon the surface of the water. Year hy year, owing to the evaporation of the water, the crystals became more numerous, and then caked together until this great roof was formed. In 1878 the water beneath this salt- crystal roof found an underground outlet into the Obi river. This lowered the lake's surface about three feet, leaving that distance between the water and the roof, and each year this distance has been diminished by the constant addition of salt crystals to the roof. Many springs surround this lake. Their water flows over the roof and evaporates there, and thus continually adds to its thickness. After many years the springs will probably become choked with their own deposits, and then the whole will become cov- ered with earth, so that a, great salt mine will be formed���������a treasure for' the.

Broadway 1 Scott Street i PRESERVATION OP MINE TIMBERS. The preservation of mine timbers by chemical treatment has not yet been daopted by the mining industries of Canada. In many localities, however, the distances required to .transport substltu"tion cf inferior sp'ecies, whose and tamarac. Spruce is one of the species which decays quickest when untreated, lasting only three years; if treated jt will last twelve years, thereby increasing its life 300 per cent. To sum up, wood preservation not only prolongs the life of durable timbers,; thus decreasing their annual consumption, but also permits the mining timbers are becoming greater, poorer qualities of woods have to be used and the annual cost of the upkeep of mine timbering is becoming greater. The United States bas already reached this state and has done much in the treatment of mine timbers; where it has been proven that a treatment of creosote or zinc chloride deCTeasei. the destruction due to. decay,7flre and insects, this increases the life of the timbers and decreases the annual cost of replacing mine timbers. Timber used in mines has on the average a shorter life than .wood used for any other purpose. The surroundings* in a mine are very conducive to rot, which after a period 01 three to five years caused the timber to break, crumble and become useless. ' Experiments have been conducted in j. .United States mines with a row of untreated and treated mine propes alternately placed. After use' considerably reduces the drain upon the more desirable kinds. The last sailing of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's steamer from Yohohama to Vancouver brought with it a consignment of silk valued at $150,000. The silk was consigned to, firms in New York, and weighed altogether 3-10 tons, filling nine large freight cars. The silk was delivered in New York seventeen days after leaving Yokohama. This constitutes , a record in the rapid handling of freight between these two points.' A WORLD'S RECORD.

A Plan for Comfortable, Healthful and Sleepful Nights. One night during the hot spell of the past summer a Toronto housekeeper came to the conclusion that to sleep in the house through that particular night was impossible and out of the question. She thereupon repaired to the back yard, where, with a stretcher and mattress, she made up an outdoor bed. It sounded nice, looked comfortable, and was withal a novelty. Now it happened that her husband had had a very limited experience in camping in the north woods, but this limited experience expanded for the ���������occasion into a very wide experience, and with the wisdom of a wilderness -expert he assured his wife that for sleeping out of doors at night a bountiful supply of bed-covering was absolutely necessary; that even in the warmest weather the air grows sharp and chilly before morning; and that it would be physically most imprudent to undertake such an adventure without adequate wraps. And so Mrs. Hot, in wise submission to her lord, brought down two or three substantial quilts, put her feet into a pair of slippers and her head into a dusting-cap, selected a protected corner of the yard, and closed her eyes in grateful anticipation of cool and refreshing slumbei ���������while other people suffered and tossed unsleepingly in stuffy chambers. It, was the most comfortless night of her life. The hours passed and brought no sleep, but brought instead an increase of super-heated misery. She tossed and turned, and wept from every pore���������and envied the people in the. houses. They, at least, needed not for prudence sake to bury themselves under bedclothes. At last, casting prudence to the air���������there was no wind ��������� she rose, threw the quilts into a heap on the grass, and .abandoning the impenetrable mattress j betook herself to the hammock, where she managed to spend the few remaining hours of the night in comparative comfort. The lesson which she impressed upon her husband iu the morning was this: that while his advice might be perfectly correct for the north woods, it did not apply to a city back-yard during a midsummer hot spell. And still, it is possible to sleep very comfortably out-of-doors even in a city. One must suit one's self to conditions���������that is all. But probably not many housekeepers would care to spend their nights in the unprotected openness of the sky, at the mercy of the mosquitoes, whatever might be the advantages in the way of coolness. A better way is suggested in an idea that comes from the West, and that might very well be adapted in any town or country home. Many of the newer houses in the east have verandahs or balconies on their upper stories; these present a j'eady-made opportunity for out-door sleeping that could be utilized with very little trouble; while a new house plan could be made to include this feature at very little expense. This same Idea has been carried out quite generally in Denver, the health-city of the Colorado Rockies. A professional man of that city was being congratulated recently upon his evidently fine physical condition. "Yes," he said, "I've been sleeping outdoors for about six months now." "Tent?" "Oh, no; on the porch," he explained. "Just take a cot out there nights ���������nobody can see me from below. Have got my wife into the habit of it, too, and I don't know whether we can go back inside for the winter, or not. It seems mighty stuffy there. [He paused. | "Give me eight hours more fresh 'air out of the twenty-four, you under-, fice." .��������� ; Right he was; bo here presented itself a fad���������if "fad" it might be styled���������that appeared worth looking into. The attorney was perfectly well; his wife was perfectly well. Neither was obliged to sleep out of doors. But they had started in during the comparatively hot weather, and now with cooler weather they were finding themselves more strongly attached to the porch bedroom than they had supposed. Denver, of course, is a city of porches. Its people sit out whenever the sun shines, and fortunately there is plenty of fresh air for all. Denver builds its porches both on the front and on the back of the house. However, the back porch is not delivered over entirely, as might be expected, to mop and pails and other kitchen and cleaning utensils and debris, but is apt to be a two- storey affair, with a railing around the second storey, and a door opening into it, or upon it, from within. Here is a splendid place for dusting rugs and clothing, and for sunning whatever at the moment requires to be sunned. Here is a fine place to sit and write or read, or watch the ever-changing mountains, invisible, perchance, from the front porch. And here is a grand place to sleep o' nights. The average Denverlte, when asked if many people of the city sleep out of doors, is apt to confine the practice to invalids. As ia well known the chief element in fighting tuberculosis is fresh air���������fre6h air, and pure air, every moment. Therefore, the invalids who are sent to Colorado have their instructions. Many sleep in tents, and it is not unusual to read the advertisement in, say, a Denver paper: "Wanted���������By man and wife, a^ room with Bleeping porch' (and so on). Thus introduced, maybe, by the weak, the sleeping porch practice is assuredly extending , among the' strong. Although all of four windows in a bedchamber may be wide open, physicians declare that the tonic effect is not equal to that of sleeping, entirely without the walls. Persons who have tiled both ways agree stand," he added. "That means a lot to a man shut np as I am, in an. of- with the physicians. In consequence,. houses are being built, with sleeping porch especially stipulated, but destined for the use of the well, not by the sick. When one thinks of the hot, sweltering summer nights passed by the easterner in a bedchamber, no matter how freely ventilated, one marvels that the sleeping porch notion has not more generally spread. One marveis that it has not been more generally adopted, if not for health, at least for comfort. The sleeping porch is very easily obtained. Any porch, sufficiently screened from public gaze, will do. Of course, it is better to have it elevated. The porch need be only large enough to hold a cot; hardy persons should not require a cot. A blanket upon the boards will be sufficient for the camper. Denver sleeping porcheb vary from the ordinary railed porch, or porch-top screened by an awning with sides, to the porch built in and the porch overhanging. The porch overhanging is ah excellent style. Where the porch is faced up, no awning, of course, is necessary, unless the sun is apt to prove unbearable as an early visitor; but wire screening is fitted in, as protection against flies. Fad or not, if the sleeping porch movement tends to give to lawyer, writer, clerk, "as claimed, "eight hours more fresh air out of the twenty- four," then hail to it. Tis something needed.. . ���������; Yet, of course, the sleeping porch movement has its detractors. As one remarked: "The trouble is, that after you've slept out a while, then you can't go back in." It is entirely feasible for a person of good constitution to pursue this healthful plan all through the winter with good results, since the gradual change from warm to cold weather serves to harden the system. The bee has a reputation for being busy and without doubt lives up to it, but the laying hen should also be in the same class. She seems to be busy all the time, and if we stop to thinlt of it it must make her go some to pick up stuff enough about tbe yard to make an egg every day. '.-.'.. RAILWAY STOCKS WIDELY HELD. The stock of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company is probably the most widely held of any American l'oad, with the exception of the Pennsylvania, which recently reported 64,- 869 shareholders. There is considerable difficulty in learning the number of shareholders of the Canadian railroads and in what countries the stock is held. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy informs me that the total number of Canadian Pacific shareholders is about 24,000, the number of Canadian holders being 2,500. Nearly all the four per- cent, perpetual debenture stock and the four per cent, preference stock is held in Great Brittain. Of the common stock, holders in Great Britain have approximately 65 p.er cent., 15 per cent, being held on the continent, while the remaining 20 per cent, is divided evenly between Canada and the United States. Grand Trunk shares are held by 54.- 200 persons, against 52,900 a year ago. This puts the Grand Trunk second only to.the Pennsylvania Railroad, which has 64,869 shareholders. The Grand Trunk has ������22,474,992 common and ������23,173,632 preferred, and, as is well known, the shares are almost exclusively held in England. RISE OF THE INSURANCE . IDfcA. CARRIES FOUR AND A HALF MILLIONS OF INSURANCE. Mr. Rodman Wanamaker, 43 years bid, healthy, hard working and industrious, has added another $1,000,- 000 to his life insurance. He was said before to.be the most heavily insured man in the world, and now he carries a total of $4,500,000, most of it in the large companies. Rodman Wanamaker is a son of John Wanamaker, and vice-president of the gi'eat mercantile concern. He devotes from ten to sixteen hours daily to business, and his chief recreation is travelling over the big Philadelphia store; which trip he covers several times a day. The quantity of ore despatched from Cobalt during the month of June .was over 4,000,000 lbs.; or more than 2000 tons. This is the heaviest monthly output during the present year. Possibly, very few people have a distinct idea of the social revolution brought, about by the rise of the life assurance idea. That thrift is good has long "been recognized, and organized thrift, with sound security for its savings, is what life insurance meanB. From, the viewpoint of the economist, therefore, the system can receive nothing but commendation. Looking at the question with the sociologist, a rather novel situation presents itself. The outstanding feature, in tlie growth of this idea,, is undoubtedly that of cooperation for a common end, producing what might be called co-operative finance. And it would probably be the unconscious character of this cooperation that would most impress the social investigator, for he would find men entirely unknown to each other, perhaps even, personal enemies, who were, without being aware of it, contributing to a common fund to help each other in. ueed and to support each other's families against possible disaster. Viewed from this direction alone,, the system must be recognized as a gi'eat,. unifying force, which is gradually reaching out and including all society in its operations, resulting iu the creation of stability, mutual trust and social well-being. Canada's total external trade for the fiscal, year 1909-10, transacted with 72 countries,, reached. $693,211,221, or $92 per head, of the population. The Pacific log scalers during June scaled 66,000,000 feet of logs, an advance' of 6,000,000 feet on the corresponding month last year. 7 The lirgest storage warehouse docks on. inland waters will shortly be con-' structed at Port'"Arthur, Ontario; by the Canadian Storage Corporation, Limited. The docks will be 800 feet long, and the warehouses and concrete buildings will be seven storeys high, and be built in two units costing $400,- 000 each. The first warehouse is to- be started at once. <���������' ' ���������'t''H''fr'E^**X***fr^*re''tMfryvv*^^ * ���������' " k- " - ���������'. . .'��������� ���������:���������������������������>-.:'��������� .'...''������������������" .'���������'���������' '���������:',, "���������'*��������������������������� % - ��������� . ��������� '������������������,;'���������'������������������.-���������:������������������������������������ ' ������������������������������������ ���������-���������'-. :--:y-::,-y';-:���������.;: : -;*YYY,7..,7.7y.:.^7'77''--,77-:--':$ < *> *. ��������� 4- publishers we have the exclusive right to place CANADIAN MONTHLY MAGAZINE in the hands the citizens of Vancouver and vicinity. of ���������J. 0 |Y- . t . * ���������'* %,!i * .' ��������� ���������* " * jL * .

FLUNKEYS TO A BARREL OF OYSTERS. One of the characters in Richard Whiteing's book, "No. 5 John Street," says, "Do you know what you ought to be? You ought to be flunkey to a barrel of oysters. Do you know what that is? I'll tell yer. 1 knowed a rich man once as made a god of his stummick, like they all do. He used to employ a feller to amuse his oysters on their way up to town, so as to keep 'em in good sperrits. He fancied they lost flavor when they was dull. The chap had to whistle tunes to 'em all the way from Whit- stable." If we continue to tolerate fortune tellers and palmists we are acting like flunkeys to the rapid rich; I was almost saying 'rabid* rich. They do not know what to do with their money. They encourage palmists and * such like parasites who prey upon the credulous. It would not matter so much, perhaps, if the evil ended thus but it is not so. It is of a far deeper and more serious import. There are many young women who give their dollars ,to these pickpockets. They are pickpockets. If a person takes a dollar from your pocket, he is punished, and a person is not less dishonest if he obtains the morby by a trick. Is there a law against palmistry and .fortune-telling?'. Yes! And the punishment is imprisonment. Are the police willing to act? Yes, if the police commissioners will permit them. . FRANK RICHARDS, JP. :S9 B. C.

The Reig Finger. To the question often asked why the marriage ring should lie placed ou the left hand many answers are given Some say because the left hand is .much less used than the right, and iuorefore the riug is less liable to gel broken In the British Apollo of ITS?

Voltaire's Church. Voltaire at uo time claimed to be an atheist in the jjenerally accepted sense of that term. So far as can lie learned from his own utterances and those ol his contemporaries he was a.deist, r- believer in Ood. but not in "revelation." save as the revelation comes tbroti^ii God's visible creation Voltaire built a cluirch in Ferney.'.Switzerland, above the door of which he-had-inscribed the words, "Erected to God by Voltaire." In order to show the endurance of whicii Russian women, and Cossack women in particular, are capable, Mme. Kudasheff, widow of a Cossack officer, has undertaken to ride on horseback from Harbin to St. Petersburg, and has arrived at Moscow after covering 6,666 miles of her long journey. Mme. Kudasheff is thirty-six, tall and spare, ami lias her hair cut short. She wears a Cossack tunic, cordurory breeches, high top-boots and a large Cossack fur cap. Her mount is an eight-year-old thoroughbred Mongolian pony and has carried his mistress splendidly without undergoing any special training for the journey. In an interview, Mme. Kudasheff. related that she started from Harbin in the middle of May last year. Under average conditions her pony covered twelve miles an hour trotting and five miles ambling. She only travelled in the daytime. The greatest distance traversed by hev in a single day was fifty-three miles, and the shortest ten miles. She took with her a cavalryman's pack, containing a change of clothes and linen, a brush and a currycomb, and she also carried a dagger and a revolver. Despite the bitter cold in Siberia, slie never wore gloves or bashlik (woolen hood), and only once had her hands and face been frostbitten. "I always look after my pony myself,". Mme. Kudaslieff continued. "I groom^,-him:���������an& Jee^hitnvyroday j^ had him re-shod, but was present while it was being done. The Moscow officers who have examined the pony have testified that there is not the slightest sign of a sore on his back. "As was only to be expected. I had many adventures during my ride.

Many residents feel that the question should be left in abeyance until the vote on annexation is taken, which, it is expected, will occur in a short time as the lists are about ready. At a largely attended meeting of ratepayers at the municipal hall last Friday, some very strong criticism was passed by the speakers respecting the council and its work. Resolutions were passed protesting against the recent., assessment and asking the Provincial Government to instruct the -Taxation Commission to inquire into the assessment. It was also resolved to ask the council to declare that tht office of assessor and chairman of the School Board should be held by separate persons and that owing to the general dissatisfaction expressed at 7the assessment the office of assessor he declared vacant and a new assessor appointed who shall devote his entire time to the oflice. It was pointed out that after virtually censuring the entire assessment by reducing it in its' entirety by 20 per cent, the council had at their next meeting raised the *4������W*W-H"M~>^^>^~H~H*<~>K~HM> ************************** | Top Off Your "* ���������'''���������-"-������������������'��������� '"��������� ������������������ -'"���������:.'.������������������: Lunch with a dish of i S assessors salary to $125 a month. cf To Rent "No, indeed! -my friend," I replied, "we deal with facts, riot fads, now-a- Bro.
