VANCOUVER, British Columbia, JULY7 28, 1911. No. 12 Tram Franchise -The Civic Annexation Committee have been wrestling for the past week with the proposed extension of the B. C. Electric Tram Franchise for a period of 25 years from date of the agreement. The present franchise of the Company expires in 1:919 and at that time tlie city will have the option of purchasing the system at an appraised "valuation. It would be a huge undertaking but if due preparation were made it is not too great .an undertaking. The object in negotiating at this time for an extension of the franchise is in order to consoli- ���������date all. the franchises of Van con vers South Vancouver and Point Grey. The latter two arc 40- year franchises: The Company have offered to ['reduce these to expire concurrently with the City : franchise in 25 years from date. This is very ���������desirable, but it is well for the citizens to consider carefully what is being given and what receiv- fedy ��������������������������� ' "��������� y/Y . ������������������. r The Company are to receive the'extension of Lthe valuable city franchise for 25 years from date. lit is difficult to estimate the value of this, one [thing is certain and that is that it will increase from year to year. The company will also have the advantage of the terms of the present franchise which are extremely liberal, except for a few minor modifications. This means that they lave exclusive right to the field under terms which [it is practically impossible for any other compauy Bto enter the field. In return the-city will receive the-following uoncessions from the Company: (1) An increase of one per cent, in the percentage of gross earnings, which would make them as follows:���������on the first one million to a million and a half, seven per cent, from one to two millions nine per cent, over two millions, after 1919, ten per cent. (2) City fares throughout South Vancouver and Point Crey, when same are annexed to tlie City. (3) City lighting and poAver rates to above - ...districts.. "������������������-. - '��������� (4) Company to expend $5,000,000 within five ..��������� years (which they would have to do iii any case.) (5) Use of poles in center of the streets if such a system is used. (6) Company agrees to move poles for the city once free of charge. (That is, their ^-^^--OTCtupoles!-.Y'^^ (7) Thei Company to compensate the City for damages caused to water pipes by electrolysis. (They arc liable for that under /'. existing conditions). (8) City to have use of one duct in case Com- D. ' .. ������������������ pany inaugurate a conduit system. (9) Company will revise running schedule every five years as 'regard" rush hours. This is what we are to receive for this valuable ranchise. Is it a good bargain? That is the [tuestion for the citizen to settle. The whole ques- ion will be submitted to the people if the council gree to these terms. The chairman of the committee has been fight- mg hard for au arbitration clause which will make' |t compulsory for the Company and the City to tlibmit all question in dispute between them to au idependent board'of-arbitration; .but the Coin- any refuse this point. If we accept the terms of ;he'Company without tliis clause it-means that we nil be for the next twenty-live years'under the Jjel of this Company.

Catholic Record, London, Makes Sweeping Renunciation ���������Insult to Protestant Christendom ��������� Deliberate Slander on Canadian Womanhood. We invite the careful consideration of our readers to an article which appeared iu the "Western Catholic" of 14th inst. This paper is the official organ of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy of this Province and is considered an authority on all matters which pertains to the Chnrch it represents. The article is as follows: * "HOW PROTESTANTS REVERE MARRIAGE. "Our Protestant Mends who are directing the artillery of their eloquence against the marriage laws of the Catholic Church should take a day off and study how this sacred rite is venerated in their own household. If they are thorough in their examination we feel sure that they will admit the accuracy of the following analysis given by the London (Catholic) Record: ' "A license is procured. That is all about which the minister feels any concetti. The marriage ceremony is in the home and the home is decorated with orchids, lilies of the valley, and American Beauty roses in all their glory. By the minister a few words are spoken���������the sweet strains of music are in the air���������there is an infinite variety of small talk and much laughter���������there is the rice and the confetti���������- and the newspaper reporter's heart sinks within him when he tries to describe the fairy scene and the presents rich and rare. Then there 1b the honeymoon���������perchance a trip to Europe, and the glorious sights the old world reveals - are all absorbed���������the return home, the welcome of friends, the entrance into 'society,' the butterfly life, the tiresome feeling of being bound during all the yean in wedlock, THE FLIRTING OF THE MAN, THE FLIRTING OF . . THE WOMAN, the consultation of the_diyorce lawyer, the divorce court, and the plaintiff and the respondent, the pictures of the parties and the divorce court proceedings in the yellow press, the dissolution of the marriage, and tbe re-marriage ��������� progressive polygamy, which smacks of barbarism'." In the face of such a vile and slanderous attack upon Protestant home life it is difficult to maintain the sentiments of toleration and patience which we feel should exist wherever possible. In the first instance, the objection which Protestants have to the Ne Temere deeree is to the persistent and impertinent efforts of the Romish Hierarchy to force on a free publie the obnoxious decrees of a foreign potentate. We, as Protestants, have never qiiestioned the right of the Roman Church to make what laws she pleases, so long as those laws were confined to the administration of her own internal affairs and not obtruded upon a nation as a civil law. ^^Seeondly^iwh iie4he,.nationh asJbeen,stirrexLt.oJts^ foundations-by this base attempt to wreck homes . by the Jesuitical faction of Roman Catholicism, we have not -attacked the rank and file of the Church, or slandered our Catholic fellow citizens. Our tight is against the subtle influence of the Jesuits and the Papacy as a colossal political machine. Our protest isagainst the dictation by a quasi- . religious sect of our civil laws���������against foreign priests breaking up homes and wrecking the lives of its members���������against the claim of the Papacy to supremacy in matters of state in this Domin ion���������against our civil courts being used as a tool to carry out- the will of this foreign power��������� against the charge, that, marriages solemnized by Protestant clergy are illegal and that those so married are living in sin and their posterity illegitimate. We repudiate the statement that the result of wedlock in Protestant circles is the "divorce court." W7ith indignation we fling back in the teeth of their traducers the statement that the analysis of the Protestant household will" show the course of wedlock to be "the tiresome feeling of being bound during all the years in wedlock, the flirting of the man; the flirting of the woman, the divorce cpurt���������-remarriage, progressive polygamy���������" This odious analysis is applied by the western Catholic to "our Protestant friends���������who should study their own households." And they go on to say, "We feel sure they will admit the accuracy * of the analysis." It is not true, but a deliberate malicious falsehood, a maliguaut attack on the Protestant home,' a miserable attempt to blacken the character of Protestants in the eyes of their Catholic fellow-citizens. There are many divorces aud much evil in the land and Protestants are not free from its taint, but to make a sweeping denunciation of the whole community because of the sin of the few is eminently unjust, to say the least. What would the "Western Catholic" think if we were to make a similar analysis of criminal statistics and conclude that because of the predonderance of Roman Catholics that therefore the whole church connection were criminal? For instance, last year, according to the Juvenile Court report, over 22 per cent, of the delinquents came from Roman Catho- licihomes. .while the Roman Catholic population constitute less than 12. per -cent, of the whole, therefore the Roman Catholic Church is wholly delinquent. According to their system of reasoning, this would be true. Again, take the Provincial criminal statistics which show that Roman Catholic offenders made up 65 per cent, of the whole, while the Roman Catholic population is only about 12 per cent., therefore "we are sure that bur Roman Catholic friends will admit the accuracy of our analysis and conclusion" when we say the religion of that church is wholly to blame, etc. These couclusioiisYare quite' as justifiable as are those of the ''Record'' in applying the stigma of the Divorcee to all Protestant homes, .and polygamous proclivities to Protestant womanhood and. manhood. It is cruelly false and mis- v leading, and the tone of malicious triumph with which it is published is indicative of its motive. There is one explanation for this attack by the official organ of the Hierarchy, and it is this���������the Papacy claims universal temporal and spiritual power and authority. Protestant countries deny " thiOtith#fty;^Tlie" Papaey^dare^not^opehly-and^ directly assert their claim in a Protestant country, so are forced to all manner of' subterfuge and intrigue in order to secure themselves, and to this end engage constantly a horde of conniving reprehensible foreign emissaries whose sole object is-to plant here and there seeds which,, if allowed to flourish, they hope some day will result in the victory of the Hierarchy. This is apparent, and as far as we are concerned we purpose denouncing it wherever--it-'-makes its appearance, and if the "Western Catholic" is honest, it will "admit the truth of this analysis." ..������h������h������:"Kk������x~:"H^~x~:^ ���������������������������>-.'���������'. * x- TWO REQUESTS: If you appreciate theu Call,'1 then get your friends | to subscribe at $1.00 per year.

Germany seems determined to force a general European war. War clouds have been visible for the past few years and the feverish effort made to increase armaments could have but one result, viz., a clash. v 7 If war does occur it is a safe conjecture that the result would be so ruinous financially that all concerned would suffer frightful loss. It would cost millions of dollars daily and no nation can long withstand such a strain as that. One thing would result and that is the experimental knowledge of the uselessuess and folly of modern warfare and the highly possible conclusion of the powers to agree to a general disarmament. The public must-be taught that the health-of the nation is its most valuable asset, and that the maintenance of health is .of much more importance than the treatment of disease.-���������Sir James Barr. 'at'Montreal. - "If a man produces a book like "Vanity Fair." he accomplishes much more than the mere presentation of a supreme work, lie gives the world a new standpoint, a new method, a new style of thought. He sets his mark nn his age, and what he may do afterwards is only the same as rubbing it in."���������Lord Roseberv. on Trackcrav. Mection Possibility That a-'general-,federal election is a possibility no one can doubt, at least not if they read the Jeading article in the "World" of Monday last. In that article the "World" charges the "Province" with turning Grit and as being now the official organ of the Liberal Party. When newspapers commence to "sparr" for the first plaee in the opinions of the various political parties it is a sure sign of an election. For months past the '' Saturday-Sunset" has been throwing bouquets at Sir Wilfrid, find the Liberal party, but if the statement of the "World" be true we may ex- -, pect some vitriolic remarks regarding this ungrateful party. Apparently the object of the "World" is to stir up the political pot so that the Tories will make sure of the "Province" and thus ' rid them, the "World," of a dangerous rival in the bid for federal patronage. The "Province" is known to be pretty independent and is not an impossibility as a candidate for Liberal patronage, hence the alarm of the present liberal organ. Aside from this interesting shuffle among the press of the eity there are distinct signs of an election. Borden and his followers arc determined not to allow this Reciprocity pact to become law until an expression of publie opinion has been obtained. The Government on the other hand are 'determined on one- of two courses, first, if possible to force the Bill through the House, second, if that is impossible, to go to the people before redistribution and thus defeat the West from, ��������� having its fair representation. Mr. Borden asked the Government to submit a plebiscite to the people thus removing the whole question from the realm of party politics, this Sir Wilfred refuses to do. Jn our opinion the suggestion of Mr. Borden is an excellent one and should appeal very strongly to all classes. There are many liberals who wish to support their party but who feel they cannot support this reciprocity pact, by this means they could be free to express their opinions and still be true to their party, the same applies to the Tories. GROSS CARELESSNESS. One of the worst cases of gross negligence which has been brought to bur notice is that of the B. C. Telephone Company. Last Thursday at 5:30 p.m., they were notified by a Mr. Harford that one of their wires was crossed with a live B. C. Electric wire, making a contact. Nothing was done. On Friday noon they were again notified, as the contact was causing serious annoyance and danger to the persons who used the phone. Still nothing "warydbneyaml^^^ phone wire was eaten through, thus destroying the contact and eliminating the danger. Had a life been sacrificed we should have beheld an inquest and all the formal enquiry and very likely a verdict of ''accidental death.'' Wc stamp this sort of thing criminal negligence.

'No arithmetic has vet been written to estimate the value of one Smith. good man.' ���������Bishop Taylor It is clear from the attitude of the opposition at Ottawa that the Reciprocity Bill will not be passed this session, and a general election will result. "Reciprocal trade relations in natural products," says Mr. Fielding. "The -United States must soon import foodstuffs and raw materials." says J. J. Hill.

The proposed bread berger has bumped up against good opposition in these parts. It comes direct from Mother and what mother votes along the cooking and eating lines usually carries. Mother say that if there is any bread trust in Montreal she'll just turn to ank bake a batch or sq of those home-made ones we have all heard so much about. A meeting of housewives has been called to discuss the situation and to draw up a strongly worded resolution against any proposition which would tend to corner the staff of life. : But there is not much danger of a bread merger enhancing the price of the product. The housewife cannot make sugar, or kerosene oil, or a number of other things that make for sweetness and light in the home, but 6he can make bread, or at least can learn the art, for an art it certainly is, and it would be an unmixed evil should more of our young women be induced, even by the processes of commercial over-reaching, to cultivate it. Two young college women in a neighboring city several years ago started in the business, having first acquired an expert knowledge of it. They charged twice the prices of the regular baker's loaves and got it. What would they care about a baker's trust so long as there was no "gentlemen's agreement" with the flour kings? As long as we can have, home-made bread there will'be nothing more than the nightmare of the bread combine. Good Form. When a man calls upon a young! woman he should send in or leave two cards���������nane for his friend and one for her mother. Many men leave a third card for the master of the house. Where there are two or three daughters with whom he 1b acquainted he may. send in a card for each, but may distinguish one, if he choose, saying to the0 servant, "Please give my .card to Miss -, and say to the other young ladies that I should be glad to see them."

"The tragedies of the world are spoiled babies," said a pastor, in I speaking to a congregational club not long ago. It is difficult to sweep before one's doors in this matter. It is so easy to indulge where one loves. No one realizes the difficulty of rearing an unspoiled child more than a parent, yet no one realizes the need of discipline as the one who has a spoiled child, or, worseyet, who lives next door to one. "I am sorry," said a mother of a boy of four to the mother of a spoiled boy of seven, "but the boys really cannot play together after this." By her side stood the four-year-old with a deep cut just above his eye��������� the second time the spoiled child had all hut destroyed an eye of the younger child. ,The mother of the spoiled child turn- ! ed purple with anger. "And how are you going to accomplish this?",-she queried with sarcasm "I will .keep my boy in our yard. You keep your boy in yours." Then she weakened. "I can't do it,' she said. "I can," said the mother of tho younger boy. "Then," said the other, "you can do more than I can." What is in store for the boy whose mother admits that at seven he is beyond control? Was not the pastor right ..The tragedies of the world are the spoiled babies. Editor of The Western Call, Vancouver, B.C. Never in British Columbia history was the famous-Battle of the Boyne more ��������� enthusiastically celebrated than it was at McCutcheon's Point ton July 12, 1911. The day was unusually flne and Nature joined hands with the Orangemen t in making it a complete success. At an early hour the Courte- nay brethren marched to meet Mount Horeb brethren, thence back to Courte- nay, and then to McCutcheon's Point, where an excellent, programme of racing and other sports took place. Dinner was served by the ladies, who received the congratulations of the brethren. In the afternoon speeches were made, when a fine display of talent was exhibited, and the Ne Temere Bill was warmly censured as a gross insult to the Protestant clergy as well as to civil rights and liberty, nnd of the' disgraceful display of the Eucharistle 'conference in Montreal. One speaker maintained that every church member should be an Orangeman, and every Orangeman a church member, who was warmly applauded. Orangemen were warned to bo, ever watchful against the intrigues of a suMIe foe who never wearies in the effort to overthrow religious rights and liberty. ��������� Speeches closed with toasts and the National Anthem, and every one went to their homes with a higher opinion of the Orange order.

Sunday School work, a public meeting was held lastv evening, 19th inst., in the Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church, when inspiring, interesting and thrilling reports were given by the delegates. Miss Roberts spoke first, with regard to the able lectures, discussions, etc., upon the primary and junior work. She had noted that great stress.was laid upon the importance of teacher- training. That he should be the right person in the right place, fully interested in all matters of interest to the young in their formative period of life. Also the. individual aspect of the work was greatly emphasized; that, the child be regarded as a separate entity, arid the personal contact of teacher with scholar was urged. A wise suggestion was made that instead of the terms "boys and jjirls," "scholars," be substituted, seeing that our future church members are important personages today. AH teachers please note! Too much importance cannot be attached to this department of Sunday School work. Miss Collins followed with her report upon .the work of the intermediate department, which is of supreme importance seeing that it has to do with the education and evolution of ; growth along moral and spiritual lines at the most critical age. .The period of adoles- ence, a time when the boy or girl is difficult to understand. From statistics it had been proved that 85 "per cent, of conversions take place between the ages of 16 and 20, and these are usually ��������� permanent. It had been remarked frequently that at this period especially the pupils read their teachers rather than' : their Bibles. Several points were emphasized, such as the need of education along the lines of Christian citizenship and church government. Also the educative influence of organization,- which one of the noted leaders had denned as the distribution of responsibilities. Another mentioned the Sunday School as being the Golden Gate to the Garden of the Church. If the-young;1 can be safeguarded through this trying period, the- future membership of the Church of Christ is assured. It' has been affirmed that our penitentiaries LOCALS CROWDED OUTCAST WEEK SOUTH VANCOUVER. The Post Office authorities whilest considering the petition for a new post office at Knigh Road and Westminster Road have informed the promoters that the proposed name of St. Margarets is not available. The title of Sunnydene has now been submitted. I The time has now come for renewing dog licenses, and those who love their canine friends will do well not to hesitate to pay the small tax of one dollar for all male, and one dollar and fifty cents for the female dogs wkhen tlie collector calls for it, uiiIrss they wish to share the fate of Mr. F. Abbot, of 37th Avenue, who refused to pay the tax when Constable Bram- well called for it on several occasions, and was finally made to pay it with costs in the police court. Some months ago the South Vancouver Council advertised for tenders for.water carts for road sprinkling. So far nothing has been shown in this direction. May I suggest that probably just now we .experience as much dust as we are likely to meet with and thmat summer is the time water carts are a necessity. Perhaps meanwhile the Council might arrange .with the B. C. E.Ry. to sprinkle along the car tracks and it would hot be amiss to. utilize the hydrants on the roads to allay some of the.dust. At present the Council have not yet furnished the particulars of the estimates which are supposed to justify their increase of 25 per cent taxation on an improved assessment of over seventeen millions ($17,000,000.00) We are, therefore, unable to express a detailed opinion as to the necessity but the general trend of public opinion is decidedly against the council's financial policy. To reduce the assessment by 20 per cent and then add 25 per cent, to the taxes is a reduction that appeals to nobody above the intelligence of their own Council. To the ordinary ratepayer the portion stands thus: The council having intimated to the assess, are filled by street graduates not Sun- i or to assess the property at purchase 220 BROADWAY, WEST i DE VAZ 220 BROADWAY, WEST day School scholars. After the singing of a sweet duet by Misses Roberts and Collins, "The Little Church in the Wild .Wood," which had been sung by ten thousand voices in the great convention, bringing memories of bygone days, the Rev. Mr. Williamson, general secretary of P.-S. S. Association, in his usual fluent manner, gave a graphic account of convention from first to last. He said that it was the consensus of opinion that this convention was the greatest religious gathering ever held in America. In two days fifteen special trains of ten cars each entered San Francisco, conveying some of the greatest religiqus leaders and . enthusiastic Sunday School workers to be found in the world. There were fifty-nine delegates from British Columbia and others from thirteen of the States, making a total of one hundred and six who rest- ed at Shasta Springs for the Sunday en route for San. Francisco, where over by two honored citizens of Vancouver, the chairman being our own genial ��������� Mr. Mahon, superintendent of Mt. Pleasant Methodist Sunday School, and the preacher being the able speaker, Rev. R. J. Wilson. From Shasta Springs they proceeded on the journey south sociably and joyously. He was greatly impressed by the great audience of about fifteen thousand which gathered in the Coliseum from day to day, a testimonp to the fact that the interests of the unseen, the spiritual, still appeal to humanity. Although he deplored the fact that only twenty thousand are really church-goers in that densely populated enterprising city. After the excellent address given during convention by Rev. R. J. Wilson, the people of San Francisco must now be aware of the existence ot Canada and British Columbia in particular, of which latter province ��������� they must certainly retain an idea when they think of the vigorous yell of our sturdy delegation. Of the excellent speeches and wise aud sage expressions of the gifted speakers of convention, Mr.- Williamson will speak later on, full announcement of which will,be given. He regretted the absence of Mr. Stabler, who was to report re "Adult Bible Class," but in his absence he commented on the able leadership of the up-to-date adult Bible class of Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church, which is in the front rank of efficiency. In glowing terms he referred to the great, demonstration of twenty-five thousand twenty-five thousand Bibles in a great parade through the main thoroughfares of the city to the amazement of about fifty thousand spectators. These Bibles were It has always seemed to me a matter of opinion as to whether a carline along a suburban business thoroughfare promotes business or not. A car service renders the road more important in the matter of traffic, but if customers ride by when they used to walk it is obviously not to th interests of shop3 dependent on local trade. Customers are but human and it appeals to the convenience of the many to make their purchase at either the start or the ^finish of their journey rather than incur the delay and extra fare of a broken trip. Anyway the point is worthy- of consideration as to a car line on local business roads*. ��������� According to a correspondent) in the morniug paper the drummer of the 72nd Highlanders' Band chews gum. An interesting fact if true, but how does that correspondent know what the drummer chews? Is he an expert or did the drummer choose to tell him what he chews? I suppose if one wants to look like a meditative cow, gum is cleaner to choose to chew than tobacco. There are some folks I could recommend to go in for extra adhesive glue. It id a bit rough on'--the military though-to cite any such particular characteristic. ������������������:...' J- Highlanders (not the 72nd) have been known to take snuff and representations of the gallant race are still to be seen oh wooden pedestals outside tobacconists in England extending a box pf the sneezing mixture. The man who plays the big drum is a musician of very pronounced tastes and. of a very striking personality. As a rule he is a sociable sort as his instrument is scarcely adapted for solo performances.; , Personally I would prefer him as a neighbor to a man whose ambitions spar towards a cornet and whose friends are also sore towards it. The owner of a big drum doesn't brag and boast of it in his house nor. sit at home with it fooling around asking the neighbors "Where is my wandering boy?" He is content to shuffle in and out of his house in a stealthy, modest and retiring manner as if apologising for his burden. But once arrived he is the proudest of all men and recognizes bis instrument as an increase to his own size. He is a model striker and'knows when to strike (ior the right effect and sure that others will follow him. He has to be smart as he has to beat time, but is not to be commended as an example for coming in so many times to every bar, although even then he does not rool as do some small drummers on their march. : /'��������� COTTAGERS DREW.

Owing to the public out- body, so the Assessor was given a public snub and his values reduced 20 per cent, all round, although as the C. P. R. counsel contended 50 per cent, would have been only reasonable. With the reduction of 20 per cent, this still left the Council with an increased assessment of over 17 millions to tax and it is simply foling the ratepayers/to make a nominal reduction on the assessment values and then add 25 per cent, to the rates. Their excuse is that the increased expenditure compels them to this course and they do not see how it is to be avoided. Probably the ratepayers may show them a solution of the problem next January by putting matters into more capable hands. CEDAR COTTAGE The storekeepers on Cedar Cottage Road are waxing indignant just now with the Council and the local member thereof. Last year it was mutually agreed that the Council should grade this road and the B. C. E. R. would then extend their line along it to Victoria Road and Westminster Road. The road has.now been graded and rolled, notwithstanding protests that rocking was not necessary if the car line is to be laid. In the circumstances it would appear that another route is to be selected by the B. C. E. R. and a petition is being submitted at once asking the Company to adhere to the Cedar Cottage Road line. ***~ZrZ<**<**<'**************<^ ! ARE YOU INTERESTED IN B.C.

Mr. Mahon'' made touching reference to a spectacle never to be forgotten when7six hundred Orientals, consisting of men. women and children, entered the huge building and made their way to the platform singing, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." These Orientals, representing four nationalities, were men carrying the trrophies of the Cross of Christ, won to Him by the earnest Christians of that city.

The Editor "Western Call," Dear Sir: ��������� We should be very much obliged to you if you would help us to make known throughout British Columbia, that all information with regard tp EJ&den Powell Boy Scouts in this Province may be obtained from us here; and that all Warrants and Badges must be obtained through this office. We are constantly hearing of district centres not knowing whom to apply to for information, and we feel sure that the press of British Columbia will do their best to help to organize the Boy Scouts movement in their large province. Y. Yours truly, T. R. HENEAGE, Hon. Secy. BOYS' BRIGADE. Among the many recent signs of enterprise and advancement made by the congregation of St. Paul's on the hill, Fourteenth and Burns, not the least progressive and successful has been the organizing of a company of the boys' brigade. This movement was started in .February last and since its commencement has made rapid and marvellous progress, and at the inspection held in May last much was said in praise of the splendid work being done. The work covered by the company reflects great credit both on the olncers and boys and include drill, figure marching, musical drill, parallel bars and Bible class, while a number of new branches of work, including a summer camp, will be added during the coming season. Since May last the company has been in vacation but resumes again on Thursday, 3rd August, when a meeting of the coy will be held in the church at 8 o'clock. At this meeting a full programme for the year will be arranged, and an opportunity will be given for new members to enroll. All boys between the ages of 12 to 17 are eligible for enrollment, and already a number of boys have expressed their intention of' Joining, while doubtless a great many more will take the opportunity ot affiliating themselves with the greatest boy movement at present In existence. Last year was a successful one for the Coy., but next year promises to be even more progressive and useful. The regular meeting of the Epworth League, Mount Pleasant Methodist Church, was held Monday evening. Miss Gray, who is working among the Indians at Port Simpson, gave a very interesting talk on her work there. Those present were greatly interested and wish Miss Gray and her fellow workers all success in their mission. Miss Edith Bruce sang very acceptably during the evening. Cedar Cottage Presbyterian Church Rev. J. C. Madill, pastor. Next Sunday the second Anniversary of this Church will be observed. Special music has been prepared for the occasion. Drs.

Mrs. Wells, Carolina Street, has returned after an enjoyable holiday spent in Montreal and other Eastern cities. "'���������'" If you go to Cabon, the grocer at the corner of 15th Avenue and Westminster Road, you may be prepared to get the best values ever given for goods of quality. Mr. and Mrs. Mereluo and family, corner 14th Avenue and Carolina Street, have gone to their summer j camp in North Vancouver. If you want your plumbing and gas- fitting done properly and promptly, go to S.S. Montgomery, 3129 Westminster Road. . We desire to draw the attention of the city authorities to the dust on Westminster Road and Fraser Avenue in the vicinity of the Junction. Apart from the inconvenience it causes the public, it is not very creditable to our city with its up-to-date methods. We would suggest that the watering cart be sent to this disrict, if only occasionally. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Brown and family, Scott Street, are spending the summer months at the Great Northern Canneries. Shoppers are quick to take advantage of goods when .offered at right prices. You may have absolute confidence In every purchase made at Cochrane * Elliott,'. If you trade with' them once you will certainly go again if price inducements and courtesy have to do with it. We under stand the city purchasing agent is negotiating for the purchase ifr. C. A. Splayforth, of Victoria, formerly of 762 12th Avenue East, Is spending a few days in the city. The Reliable Sheet Metal Works, 3127 Westminster Road, reports business very good. The Hazlett Brokerage Company, 617 15th Avenue East, have a five- room house in a good location for $3,200. $300 cash handles this and the balance of the purchase price can be arranged to suit the buyer. Our popular resident, Air. T. A. Morris, won first prize in the "B" class at the matinee races of the Vancouver Amateur Driving Association held in Hastings Park on Saturday last with his beautifv.1 mare, "Nettie Wilkes."'.We congratulate Mr. Morris on his success. The garden party given by the congregation of St. Pauls on the Hill at Mrs. Jones' residence, Westminster Road on Thursday last proved a brilliant success. We understand another one in connection with the church will be held in Mount Pleasant Park in about three weeks time. Cochrane & Elliott's store, 15th Avenue, was entered by burglars on Sunday night. Entrance was gained' at the rear of the warehouse. The cash register was tampered with, but fortunately all the money had been removed the previous night. A little damage was done to some of the stock. This is the first case of burglary in this district, and we hope .the police, who have tbe case in hand, will be able to trace the guilty parties.

When certain habits are pointed out as a menace to society and men and women organize to combat them, it is frequently claimed by those who indulge in them that those who are opposing the practice are actuated by narrow and selfish motives,'that each individual has a perfect right to do as he or she may choose. The following arraignment of the tobacco and liquor habits is a very significent statement, inasihur^ as it is written from a purely business standpoint, being contributed to tUe "Monetary Times" by Wm. H. Orr, for forty-five years a manager of a life insurance company: THREE MOST ACTIVE ENEMIES. The three most active enemies of healthy life insurance in Canada are tobacco, alcoholic liquors and tubercu losis. The evil begins with the oc- cosional secret smoke of a pipe or cig- a ret by the young man. This paves the way for heavier Indulgence, which, though it may not. as it too often does, lead to drink, still sets the pulse running at consuming speed. Many smokers are turned down by the companies, if the physician reports the heart-beats faithfully, instead of averaging them, or "making allowance." But when several drinks of strong liquor per day are added, and the indulgence becomes a fixed habit, the agent frequently loses his labor,''even though there may be an appearance of vigorous health, because the conscientious physician is obliged to report in a qualified tone. It is well known that the twin evils of tobacco and liquor, when indulged in to excess, lead strongly toward tuberculosis, that great white plague of all humankind. .''���������':'- '���������>?]���������$'%' ********************���������:>***** ********":<>************<<'** Hie PIONEER HARDWM STORE I Screen Doors and Windows Garden Tools, Bapco Pure Paint 5tumping Powder and Land Clearing Tools.

R. Dickson, B.S.F., Assistant Inspector of Forest Reserves) in his report, just published, gives his impression of the timber of that part of the country. METHOD OF SURVEY. The method followed was to run inspection lines at three to six mile intervals. The men worked singly, running the .lines by compass, ��������� and were able to travel from four to six miles per day and return. to, the line. In this way a rapid reconnaissance was made, which was extended by the use of field glasses. ������������������,.." - TIMBER OF THE REGION. Through the country covered by the exuloration no timber was found at any distance back from the water. 'Only a mere fraction or one-per cent of the area surveyed now carries merchantable timber," the report says. Spruce is for the most part, the only timber there which, is large enough for saw-timber or rairVay ties. The poplar, birch and jack pine are too short, spindly, limby and crooked for anything but fuel and pulpwopd. Practically ali the tamarack has been killed by, insects. 'We did not find two 'hu'Di'.reo/ green tamarack abpyt; 'cn 'hi':Uos7in .diameter all summer,-' writes ?>[r. .Dickson. ���������������. The total number of the ties available in the district traversed is estimated at some 3G0.00O; the saw-timber totals about nine and a half mil-, lion feet. For pile timber dead tamaracks and the largest of the closer grained black spruce could be used. The possible supply of - fuelwood is enormous, and there will also be a Iarge>sv.pply of pulpwoou, but much of the timber.is,as yet too small even; for pulping. 7' .-. Y'-v ..

The slow rates of growth are largely due to the cold wet'soil, of the undrained muskegs which cover so .much of the district. Looking for" a Home?

Two great fires have occurred, approximately forty and eighty years ago, respectively, and practically every corner of the region has-been burned over by these. Instances were frequently noted where these fires had leaped lakes over a mile in width. Fires frequently live in the <lrv moss all-winter and break out again in spring. ��������� The work of the fires is supplemented by that of the bark beetles. Not only have these insects killed practically all the tamarack, but they "are^now^at-woTk^destroying-the^scat- , tered patches of mature spruce. When 1 the "beetles have finished their work nd killed the trees, a strong wind ove-i-throws these. Finally lightning r-ets fiTe to the tangle of debris result- "ng, and the fiTe, thu������ started, may run over mile afteT mile of the country., The report makes a number of sug- sesticnB for the letter protection of the region from fire. but. the district is iBo' extensive and practically unln- hahited that, if a fire starts, the chances of controlling it, even with a good rang-er system, are not at all certain, /n interesting point noted Is that ^e >raians.'of the region are 1 j-mnch more careful ^ith fire than the j-white men. j "rief remarkB of much Interest aTe imade -with regard to the topography Cor. !6th Ave* and Main Str. il % Branch Store: *2% ...

In all probability it will be under the management ol Mr. S. P. Kelly at his grocery store. This will provide a very welcome convenience to the increasing number of residents who now alight from the car at this corner and who under existing circumstances have to walk a mile each way to Cedar Cottage post office for the mail. Secretaries of Churches, Clubs, Friendly Societies and others are invited to send communications respecting news Urns addressed to "Western Call," P. O. Box 10. Cedar Cottage. These should not arrive later than Tuesday night for insertion in current issue. The Sunday scnool picnic in connection with St. Margaret's parish church, Agnes road, is to be held on Saturday next at Stanley park. An early start is to be made at 9 a. m. force against city consumers. In the city you may use the hose to clean windows, sprinkle lawns and gardens between the hours of 5 and 8 in the morning and 6 and 10 in the evening. Presumably as South Vancouverites have to pay a higher rate they should be entitled to similar privileges, or failing these at least the courtesy of some explanation. Meanwhile what about the rates paid in advance in South Vancouver for the convenience now so summarily cancelled? Although with present summer weather any indoor attractions must necessarily suffer it is most highly satisfactory to note that the public free library at East Collingwood continues to claim public support. Open ed only one month ago the sum of ? 1,545 is all that is-now., required to place the institution out of debt. Mr. P. J. Bursill, the generous"'donor of his private library and museum, provided a hearty impetus to the work and the committee by erecting the present handsome and commodious structure have most ably seconded his efforts to provide a suitable social and educational center for South Vancouver. A financial statement just issued shows subscriptions and receipts ?1,852, including a bank loan of $725, less $230 repaid. Wages bill, $108.75,' and other accounts totalling so as to provide a long and enjoyable $1,677.75 have been paid. Sub-scrip day. The overcrowded condition of the Grandview and Cedar Cottage cars is now becoming a source of public danger, not to speak of the discomfort and inconvenience experienced by passengers between 5 and 7 p. m. every evening. With cars crammed, to overflowing and men hanging on in the rear, others seated on the steps present conditions are disgraceful. The B. C. E. Ry. have an alternative route on to Park Drive and Cedar Cottage via Harris street, and could surely use this if necessary to operate the extra cars that are so imperatively demanded. South Vancouver authorities seem tions for clearing the debt may be sent to Northern Crown Bank, Central Park, or to the trustees, Rev. Merton Smith and Mr. Eugene Cleveland, of East Collingwood. Gift or loans of books, pictures or curosities will be welcomed by Mr. J. Francis Bursill, East Collingwood.

Mayhew, of Huntsville, Ont., who have been on a visit to the Rev. J.-'C. Madill at Cedar Cottage, have now gone to Portland, but will return again for another short stay in Vancouver before commencing their trip homeward. Rev. D. J. Findlay, of St. George's Tabernacle, Glasgow, was a passenger on the Empress of India, just arrived in port. Mr. Findlay's health having broken down under the strain of home and foreign mission work, he is now on a tour round the world to recuperate. Whilst staying here both he and Mrs. Findlay will he entertained by the Rev. Merton Smith at his home in Collingwood. A milkman named "Whalley" was fined $50 and costs by Magistrate Mc- Artliur at South Vancouver on Friday last Ior wilfully injecting ammonia and blinding a dog's eye. The magistrate gave him a most severe reprimand for committing such an atrocious crime and pointed out'it was the most serious chaarge of this nature ever heard in his court. Inspector Robinson, of the S. P. C. A.', instituted the proceedings in this case. A very successful garden party was held on Thursday at the residence of Mrs. J. Jones, Westminster Road by the Ladies' Aid of St. Paul's Presbyterian Church. The lawn was gaily decorated for the occasion with Japanese sunshades and pretty booths. Musical selections were contributed by Mr. A. Griffiths and Mr. Thos. Shankin on piano and violin, and Messrs. Menzies and Rogers also pleased the large audience by their excellent songs. On Wednesday morning Cedar Cottage Presbyterian Church was specially decorated for the wedding of TJliss Mary Huish, second daughter of .Mr. John Hall Tuish, of North Shields, England, to Mr. Chas. A. O. Farina, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, TEngland. YThe bride was escorted into the church by Mr. J. I_. Howling wiiilst the wedding march was being played. The' bride was becomingly dressed in white satin and wore a veil and wreath7ef aronge blossoms. Miss Elizabeth Dykes, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, acted as bridesmaid, wearing a white embroidered dress with white lace hat and willow plume. Both carried bouquets of sweet peas. Mr. Geo. J. Kinnis>an old friend, supported the groom..as best man, and the Rev. J. C. Madill performed the ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. J. I.. Howling, Cedar Cottage, entertained the bridal party and numerous guests after the ceremony. Many handsome presents from England and also friends here were received. The honeymoon is to be spent at Victoria, and on their return Mr. and Mrs. Farina will reside on 2Sth Avenue East, SoiitbY Vancouver. Mabel Tomkins, aged 14, is once more missin, but as this is one of her little peculiarities no extra special anxiety is experienced. Doubtless she will soon again be gathered in and soon again wander forth once more. For a married lady Mrs. Tomkins appears to be rather of tender years, a.nd-as-her^husbandiXesides.atJiellingi ham, it is considered probable she may be journeying there. The police understand, however, that her domestic life was not especially happy. This young lady has previously given the police a lot of trouble to trace, owing to her playful way of leaving her friends so mysteriously. On one occasion she was found at Port Moody, and on another at New Westminster. She is a child of about 4 feet 6 inches high and probably of less than 100 pounds in weight. The South Vancouver Ratepayers' annual picnic on Saturday at Cenrtal Park was a grand success. Large crowds, both juvenile and adult, pa- ttronized the event, and being favored with such a glorious day, all the sports and outdoor amusements were most enthusiastically enjoyed. Baseball games between the various districts, scout drill, baby shows, etc., together with th eband, kept matters lively, whilst for the more ambitious and energetic races were run. The Reeve was successful in one race, and literally just saved his bacon, the prize being a ham. It is understood it; weighed several "Pounds." Young Peter McArthur, the proud recipient of a cornation medal from the King's own hand, arrived home at Cedar Cottage on Sunday, and after spending the day with his father, Magistrate .1. C. McArthur, the young fellow left for Victoria to rejoin lm ship, H. M.'C: S. 'Rainbow." Mr. McArthur was visited last week;by his two other sons, Mr. J. McArthur, from Revelstoke. and Mr. Harry McArthur, from Victoria. A preliminary meeting to form an association football league for South Vancouver was held at South Hill last Friday. '���������< Sir. Herbert W. Barritt was elected secretary and will issue an invitation to all soccer players in the municipality to attend a meeting to arrange plans for he coming season. Mr. J. C. Moon, of Cedar Cottage, has just returned from an enjoyable three months' visit to the old country. As manager of the Vancouver Gas Company Mr. Moon has now tb "Allan-exceptionally busy season in providing for the needful extension of his company's operations. Knight Road Improvement Association held a meeting on Friday at the home of Mr. White, secretary, corner of Knight Road and 25th Avenue. There was a large attendance and much business relative to the improvement of this locality was considered. The committee appointed to interview the B. C. E. Railway respecting a better car service reported that they had the definite promise of a ten minutes service to be put on within the coming week. A switch at Victoria Road corner of the Westminster Road is being put in and from August 1st the new service is to "commence. The next improvement will be for the company to extend the service into the city direct without the present annoyance of changing cars at Tenth Avenue. The plans for extending the width of Knight Road to SO feet are progressing most favorably, but the committee are experiencing a difficulty in tracing some of the owners of the property. If any such will communicate with the secretary, Mr. White, post office box '205, they will materially assist the progress of this movement. The South Vancouver Board of Works has promised the committee to use their best endeavor to secure a car line along Knight Road if widened as proposed. t The property owners on Cedar Cottage Road (now Commercial Street) are also busy with a petition asking the B. CE. Railway to adhere to their original plan of extending the Fourth Avenue car service along Cedar Cottage Road, as promised by the B. C. E. Railway and the municipal council last-year. Recently there have been rumors of the company altering the route to Victoria Drive, and the recent rocking and rolling of Cedar Cottage Road seems to discountenance the idea that the cara.service is to be laid along that road. We shall soon see, however, and it is not an unknown sign of official common sense to first thoroughly pave and make a good road and then tear it up for trams and. other services. Being public property, expense is not such a question after all. South Vancouver school trustees at their last meeting awarded contracts for the erection of two new schools to the J. T. Herrett Construction Company.. The prices are $29,369 for the Clough Avenue School, and $29,'934 tor the 42nd Avenue School. A meeting of the South Vancouver Board of Trade is convened for Monday next, 31st inst. The Central Ratepayers' Association will hold a most important meeting at South Hill School on Friday, 25th inst. A report is to be presented from the committee appointed to investigate alleged irregularities in the J__������_*-__?������ SL Ki_22LS_*������?L _TJ_IS P���������1" ises to be of a most interesting nalure and is awaited with much curosity by the majority of the ratepayers. The report is certain to provoke a good deal of discussion and an exceptionally lively meeting is anticipated. It is rumored that the B. C. Telephone Company contemplates building a central exchange for South Vancouver, and the neighborhood of the Muncip.il Hall is hinted at for its location. There is the principal objection that our Municipal Hall is not central. In fact, the hall is situated in about the most out of the way position possible and it seems almost a pity whilst building a new hall the council did not also .select a more convenient and accessible sit e.
