Whatever fosters the development >f strong moral qualities in our people tends to [vigor, long life, happiness, stability and prosperity/; The cleaning up of Seattle has thrown hundreds of vile and worthless men and women into [Vancouver, much to our injury and shame. To [offset this we should double our diligence. Of [evils, the Social Evil is the most to be feared. I Against it the pulpits should create a vigorous, i healthy sentiment, the police force should use; all [resources to uproot and utterly destroy. Its pres- rence is a menace to health, virtue and domestic security. Ml PUY Vancouver's Officials Renovators of Public Morals The Briton's constitutional love of "fair play" calls for the facts re our city officials and their attitude toward the social evil. Dr. Spencer's "open letter" in The World, and the Western Call recently, was a vigorous and fearless arraignment of Mayor Findlay and the Police Commissioners. 'If conditions are as bad as described therein, then public sentiment should be aroused and all forces marshalled against this most accursed and dangerous enemy of our city and country. Silence would be indefensible and would argue either criminal indifference to social conditions or dis-' honorable complicity in an abominable traffic in virtue. But too much can be said, or the truth , be told in a wrong way for best results. The other I side should be heard and facts should be published in sueh a way as not to attract undesirables to Vancouver as a retreat for vicious men and wo- [men. Ministers of the Gospel are able exponents of [the truth and unyielding friends of the things that make a city truly great. Their counsels have been [courted by the wise in all lands nor can they be [dispensed with, nevertheless the clergy, as a body, ire genarlly impracticable in the application of truth for the correction of popular evils that flourish under modern civilization. They necessarily Diave the ideal in mind as an objective. To have )ess would reduce their pulpit power and lower the moraljone of the world. They "fall down" kvhen they expect their ideal to be at once realized py a whole city or country. The real conditions ire so far from the clergyman's ideal that he is infitted to dispassionately discuss the matter or to fcorreet the evil. His work is indispensable, but |iis methods applied are often inadequate. Public )fficiahs are not all imbeciles nor are they moral towards. Not infrequently they are the peers of linisters in education, moral integrity and devotion to the best interests of society. In a recent interview with Mayor Findlay and ?hief Chamberlain, the writer ascertained many facts related to the cleaning up of Vancouver, ^hus far in 1912 much has been done and larger things are planned. To reach the greatest possible results some secrecy is necessary. Plans megaphoned would invite defeat and failure.

Several things must strike an average observer. The people are full of optimism. They have faith in themselves and in their country. They are planning to do great things. The public-spirited portion of each city is indeed very large. The very qualities of the business houses and other buildings indicate that the citizens are moved to their daily undertakings by a spirit of enterprise. And this spirit is seizing the population of Canada, perhaps as no other people on earth have been affected in the past. British Columbia On arrival in this wonderful province, one is at. ^ once possessed of a notion of vastness and varied wealth, beyond what he can discover in any of the other splendid Canadian provinces. Our own people are as yet unable to fully take in the situation. In truth, our present grasp of the near future is but a pigmy compared with a huge giant. And in British Columbia we can surely begin to see that the City of Vancouver concentrates *-*������������������������ and conserves more chances for wealth, influence, power, opportunity, and individual success than any other part of this wonderful province. Once again, I must say that all those who may be in temporary doubt, and who may be somewhat driven by circumstances of a sort not favorable, should hold firm to hope and faith in final success. -r:H-- Right.

The attendance to the rural meeting place Is diminishing; the attend- dren treated the subject, and instance ance to the school house is dwindling; the stress the children placed upont friendship'is being severed with the the social aspect. Canada, perhaps unconsciously, is striving for a higher moral plane, and the children recognize the factor that Good Roads would be In this. The boy of today Is the man-of tomorrow. Because of thia study of the question In their youth, they will have a truer, clearer knowledge of conditions than could otherwise have been the case, and the result ot their study In 1912 will make for tne benefit and the betterment of tbelr communities ten or twenty years hence.

Twenty-eight essays were received from Vancouver. Simultaneously with the movement for the need ot good roads artees one far-reaching idea, even more profound than the enhancing of land values. It is the social betterment by which Canada is playing a distinguished part in the uplift of the world. Now we turn to the meaning of roads in the economic sphere. Is It a good business policy? Canada's manufacturers, men of commerce and business admit tbat Canada needs such a policy, but because they cannot see any solid, unrestricted and available gain that would accrue, tbey, don't care. The cost of a breakfast roll would be trifling did tt not cost the farmer eighteen cents a bushel more to transport wheat nine miles to a railway station than It did from Slew York to Liverpool, a distance of three thousand one hundred miles. The cost of a boiled egg is the payment of transportation from the lien to the household. The intrinsic value Of the egg is a mere trifle compared with the expense of carriage through two feet of mud. Over the deep-rutted roads, as they exist at present, farmer1 can haul, on aa average, six hundred pounds in 'five hours with two horses. If good roads were constructed, however, it has been calculated that one horse could draw twelve hundred pounds and more in two hours. Not only would the farmer save time, conserve his energies, make better use of his vehicle and horses and thereby save money, but "the consumer, too, would receive his needs at lower prices. And as Canada's agricultural production is an-, nually increasing by leaps and bounds, a greater proportion of money would be saved by all classes of people year by year; and, probably, the high cost of living in the urban districts would recede to the normal.. "It costs the average Canadian farmer two dollars a ton "to haul bis produce to the market town, to the railway station or lake port. It is known that the production of field crops alone amounts to about 40,000,000 tons a year. It would be moderate to estimate that 25,000,000 of this tonnage is hauled over roads, one way or, another; so we have $50,000,000 as cost of teaming field crops by the farmers. This cost-could be reduced if we had first-class roads, to $20,000,000, a saving of 60 per cent, leaving $30,000,- 000 as a saving on one class of product alone." The building of good roads would increase the value of taxable lands not only in the vicinity, but also in the most remote parts. Stupendous amounts could be collected in taxes and the assets of the.nation as well as the landlord would increase. NeW towns would spring up; new railway branches would be.built; and Canada would be settled and developed at a miraculous rate. Our convicts could be. profitably employed building roads. Of course, it is useless to have them constructed unlets carried-on in a systematic and scientific way. The roads must be "graded, topped and rolled." They should be constructed so tlfat water will quickly drain oft and so that the greatest applied pressure will not force upon the foundation and cause mud to ooze up and ruts to be renewed. ^*wii**ciaimc^ tonee by reducing the time of travel. They would give rise to a further exploration of sparselw settled districts aad would result In the discovery and shipping of more mineral and timber wealth. I feel confident that smooth, hard roads would mean more to Canada than any other project. I believe that a remarkable awakening, a renaissance would take place. The economic and national advantages that would ensue are Incalculable. The energetic settlement and development of Canada would swell tbe treasury and the country would enjoy an era of prosperity unequalled In Its history. Good, roads In Canada would mean a higher standard of citizenship; a people pervaded by education and good morals; and a better understanding and a mutual sympathy between the diverse peoples in the Dominion.

About half an hour later the guests at the hotel were startled to hear a crash in the baflk next door. Th|nklnT the noise was caused by robbers they called two detectives to the rescue. The detectives tried to find the bank officials but failed, so by the aid .of a rope they were lowered through the skylight to the bank floor where they found Van Home who had climbed out of his wondow and stepped was no bylaw under which the procedure might be taken. Councillor. Marshall offered a suggestion that the residents be merely requested to refrain from using their sprinklers. "In their own interests they will respect this request," he declared. A resolution was finally-passed forbidding the sprinkling of lawns except between the houro of 7 and 9 ln the evening.

DRAGGED TO DEATH BY PARTNER IN A BOAT One of Victims Well Known Resident in Mt. Pleasant ~ Martin Nash, a resident of Mt Pleasant, was dragged under water by Herve LaBIanc near Powell River on Tuesday, April 11, ,and both men were drowned before help was secured- The accident was watched from the shore by Mrs. Nash. ��������� Nash and LaBIanc with the former's little son had only left the shore when their canoe upset Nash caught his son and held him till the canoe was righted and then threw him in. La- Blanc then lost his head and grappled with Nosh and eventually drew him under. 'The lake Is very deep and all efforts to recover the bodies have so far been fruitless. Nash leaves two small children as well as bis wife and the lad who had such a narrow escape from death. He had lived in Vancouver for a long time and is a cousin of Rev. Father Madden of the Church of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. The Nash home is on Fourteenth avenue. Mount Pleasant It is said that Le Blanc's nervqusness caused the upset He had recently loot two brothers by drowning and was much afraid of the water. He leaves a wife and five children in Restlgouche. Que. Those people who have fondly believed that woman suffrage would prove a panacea for most publie ills and would bring in the mlllenium di- rctly; hav been given another severe jolt There waa an election at Pasadena, Cal., a few days ago, to determine whether that fair city should be "wet" or "dry" for the next year. Now, Adoiphus Buscbr, the millionaire brewer of St. Louis, has a palatial winter home at Pasadena, with magnificent grounds, "sunken gardens," and all that, on which he expends $65,000 a year to maintain, and which he gen? erously throws open to the public and' tourists, that they might realise how much money he has made out of tha brewery business. Well, In order to give Pasadena voters a "tip," Mr. Busch took pains to have it announced; that If the city went "dry" he would remove his residence to Santa Monica and close his grounds to the public immediately. "I did not make known Mr. Busch's intention because of the probable effect on the campaign," said Mr. Busch's agent delicately. "We wanted to be fair, and did hot wish to appear as trying to influence the election. But Mr. Busch felt that if the prohibitionists won and he waa deprived of the right to entertain his friends in his own home ln his own Way he would not care to consider Pasadena longer as one of his .residence places." That wao surely broad hint enough; and one might have expected the newly enfranchised women to take it. They did; but not in the way you Christian folks would suppose;' 'According to a special diapatch fn the Chicago Record-Herald the women voters of Pasadena "flocked to the polls and cast most of their strength for the granting of hotel and restaur* ont licenses hencforth" and the dispatch gives as the reason for their activity, Mr. Busch's Uttle threat And so Pasadena went "wet" and retains Mr. Busch, his sunken gardens and his pleasant hospitality. Are these things so? Will the women of Pasadena rise and explain? llshment According to a recent statement my President Ton Shi Kai, China will 4to put on a military footing equal to Germany.

The portion of Granville street that is being torn up to be relaid is the five blocks between Robson and Pacific streets. In order to allow that work to be done in the shortest space of time possible the Fairview, Kitsilano, and Fourth avenue cars are being sent around by way of the Richards street extension to Pacific street, when they turn onto the new Granville street bridge again. For the preBnt a single track line is being operated down Davie street to English Bay. "Stanley Park is a natural 'Beauty Spot' and yet its beauty was enhanced this afternoon by living flowers that decked its green sward. These were the scholars of the Jnionr and Primary departments of the Mt Pleasant Methodist Sunday Scbool, who were enjoying their annual treat. Full of animation, bubbling over with delight, about one hundred and fifty children in number did justice to tbe appetizing and abundant viands at the open air meal, and the ice cream galore which followed. In fact, several tiny boys seemed as If tbey had reached their heaven. Then the games, races , etc. If those tiny tots run the race of life as well, they will make. good. The genial superintendents and teachers were Indefatigable in their efforts to give joy and pleasure to the children | and they certainly succeeded, for a- happier bunch of youngsters than those1 who hoarded tbe cars this evening it would be difficult to find. The parents and friends , of whom there were about seventy present, also enjoyed tea in the Ideal Picnic spot The sun was most obliging sending bis glorious rays thro the brightly verdant foliage, cheering everybody, that altogether it was an "Ideal Picnic' as one of the young ladies remarked. F. S. H. PAVING ON MAIN STREET. ' The paving of Main Street, from Eighteenth Ave. to Twenty-fifth Ave. on the east side of the street has been recommended to the Board of Works, by the City Engineer. This is an improvement which has been sought by property owners of Mount Pleasant and D. L. 301 for two years. It is understood that South Vancouver will, as soon as possible, pave the whole street from Sixteenth to Eighteenth, and the western half from Eighteenth to Twenty-fifth. The fact that this improvement work has been recommended by tbe City Engineer does not mean that the work will necessarily be proceeded with at once, or even this year; as local improvements to date have practically exhausted the city's borrowing power. It is said, however, that an attempt will be made to have this work proceeded with this year it possible. The estimated cost of the city's portion, which will be 28 feet wide, will be $42,628. ���������|iitiilii-ii|.l|i.t..*.il,i*.il..l..*..*..l.,|���������*.,|.������,;,.|..|,.;,.*.<.,i.

In Southern Alberta the wheat in places is especially fine, and there has been considerable rain, except fbr one dry pocket of a few miles width, and even in this section the wheat has not yet suffered from drought. .*������������������������������������������������������ BIG PROVINCIAL DI8PLAY. British Columbia Plans to Hava 100 Lineal Feet of Dry-Farmed Products and Timber Specimens at Letnbrldaa Lethbrldge, Alta, June ���������.���������The provincial display of British Columbia will be one of the most attractive features of the big Dry-Farmed products Exposition here next October, reservation having been made by Deputy-Minister of Finance and Agriculture W. E. Scott for 100 lineal feet apace and a depth of at least SO feet. Writing Chairman J. W. McNicol of the Exposition Committee, Mr. Scott says that it Is planned to bring to duced on farms and factories in the United States during the census year 1909, according to a statement issued by the census bureau. The Quality produced on farms was 966,001,000 pounds, valued at $255,544,000. Factories produced 624,765,000 pounds, val ued at $179,510,000. Butter manufactured by farmers' co-operative creameries is included in the figures for fac- toris. _ Among the states Wiscosin ranked first in total production, with 131,049,000 pounds, valued at $36,628,- 000. It was first also with 103,885,000 pounds, valued at $29,547,000 produced in factories. The difference between the figures given, which is 27,165,000 pounds, valued at $7,081,000, represnts Wisconsin's farm production. In total production Iowa ranked second, Minnesota third, Pennsylvania fourth, Michigan fifth, Ohio sixth, Illinois seventh, New York eighth, Texas ninth, and Indiana tenth. Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana showed a much greater farm production output and ranked in the order written. Minnesota, Iowa, and New York, in the order named, ranked after Wisconsin in showing a factory pro* duction much larger than credited to their farms. THINNING TREEFRUIT8 (R. M. WInslow, B.S.A., Provincial Horticulturist) The very favorable weather which has occurred throughout the blooming season In all the fruit districts of the Province has favored the setting of a very large percentage of the blossoms. There are very few trees which will not have all the fruit they can carry, and probably the majority of them will hae more than they can carry with profit. This brines ap the question of time. On plums and peaches in moist regions, fruits thinned so that no two lowers the percentage of low-grade fruit (7) Thinning prevents premature dropping. A familiar instance 1b that of the Mcintosh Red, which is especially liable to drop where-two fruits are left on one spur. Premature dropping is quite largely due to the inability of the tree to supply moisture to an excessive crop. (8) The load of fruit Is more evenly distributed, and this is a very Important feature in preventing the breaking down of trees. (9) The coBt of picking is reduced considerably and the labor of picking is divided more evenly over the season. This is an important advantage where the supply of labor is deficient in picking-time. Costs of grading and packing are also much lessened. (10)' Less fertility is removed from the soil. A ton of apples takes out approximately 1.2 lb. of nitrogen 1.6 lb, of potash, and 0.6 lb, acid. A ton of pears removes, the same amount of nitrogen and about twice as much of the other elements. The seeds take the great bulk of these amounts, the pulp of the fruit taking but a small portion. As the number of seeds is roughly in proportion to the number of apples, and not to their size, the removal of frul tlseaves a much greater supply of plant-food for the balance of the crop, for the growth of the trees, and ln the soli. (11) The tree is less liable to winter Injury. The ripening of the heavy crop drains the vitality of the tree, so leaving It in poor shape to withstand the winter. Trees bearing moderate crops for which there is an adequate supply of plant food and an adequate supply ot moisture have sufficient vitality to ripen the crop, and to ripen the fruit-buds and new shoots as well. (12) One of the most important results of thinning Is that the trees will bear a larger and more uniform crop touch when fully grown are much freer of brown-rot. (6) The removal of misshapen.fruit the following year. The tendency towards biennial bearing is materially reduced, much depending in this, however, on the variety. For various reasons, then, thinning helps materially to secure the maximum duty from the tree. N. B.���������Balance of this circular will appear next week.

Burne, secretary of the International Dry-Farming Congress, assures the representation of the State of Idaho both by a large delegation and exhibit at the Exposition here next October. Idaho is particularly anxious to make a great showing, because of the fact that it aspires to hold the Congress at Boise, either in 1913 or 1914, and as a preliminary effort to secure it the chambers of commerce of the cities of Great Falls, Billings, Bozeman, Helena and Boise are working in a | united effort to gain this.

Hew Much Fruit Should a Trot tear? In discussing tbe question of thinning, we admit that a tree may. set more fruit than tt can possibly bring to perfection. Nature cares nothing for the fruit except aa aa aid to produce seed; the orchardist cares nothing for seeds except as tbey are necessary to the production bl fruit. We wish each tree to carry all the fruit it can bring to commercial perfection, and ao more. At the same time, the tree must make new vegetative growth consistent with its age and the variety. The third requisite is that It should also form enough fruit-spurs for a similar crop the following year. This ideal is tbe foundation of our orchard practice. When a tree is fulfilling these three requirements it is performing its maximum duty to the owner.- If It falls short in any one of them, he Is not getting his maximum ot profit, either immediate or prospective, from it. How Does Thinning Help? The removal of some of the fruit at an early stage in its growth helps materially towards securing the maximum duty of the tree in certain definite ways:��������� (1) The average size of the fruit left on the trees is increased; this is the most obvious result of thinning. Trees overburdened with fruit produce a greater percentage of No. 2 apples. The increase in size of the remainder, after the first or second pickings of Barlett pears is made, is a striking instance of the increase in size when the number of fruits is reduced. (2) The fruit borne is more uniform in size and shape. On the overloaded tree there is much variation in size, and, especially where two or more fruits remain on a spur, they are variable in shape as well. The fruits from the side-blossome of the cluster are in many varieties much different from those from the centre blossom, usually being flatter in shape and having a considerably longer stem. Uniformity in size and shape is an important essential of commercial perfection. (3) The color is materially bettered, more uniform, and comes earlier. The remarkable increase in color which occurs when a first picking is made from heavily bearing trees of even the winter varieties, sueh as Jon- a than and Wagener, furnishes striking confirmation of this point. While color seems largely related to sunshine, it is a well known fact that on a heavily loaded tree the fruit has less color, which is less evenly distributed and more slowly acquired. (4) Thinning improves the quality. This is especially the case where the soil is deficient in moisture or plant- food. (5) The tree Is freer of diseases and insect pests, because wormy apples, limb-bruised or diseased fruit of any kind, can be removed at thinning- ARE YOU INTERESTED IN B.C.METHODISM?

"It's not likely thnt be was married before lie was eighteen,** was tbe encouraging remark. "But Just think, be doesn't remember me! He doesn't love me!

Mrs. Martlndale considered the matter for some time; but, tbe case being a hovel one. she concluded to send for tbe family attorney, Mr. Btelger. and. If possible, leant from bim her daughter's matrimonial status. A telephone message brought tbe lawyer, and mother and daughter, both talking at once, put the case to bim. Having an ear for each, be finally learned the story. "Since yon married a man by the name of Ludingion. who was not Lnd- ington at al', bHt Throckmorton, it Is my opinion tbat yoa are not married to either Ludlngtoh or Throckmorton." "Heavens!" cried the poor woman, covering her face wltb ber hands. "The only way. the best way. for yon to do is to marry tbe man as Throckmorton." "But suppose he doesn't want me." moaned Maud. The lawyer and Mrs. Martlndale look ��d at each other. Here was a danger. "He will undoubtedly he ready to make any reparation possible"��� the at torney was beginning when Mrs. Lud iiigton-Throckntortori interrupted. "Ueparatioii: Wbo wants reparation' I married hiru because I loved him and tie loved 'lie. And uow I'm nothing to uirn." "You might win him again," suggested Mr. Kteiger.

Now. don't cry any more.- Leave the matter in Mr. Stelger's hands, and it will come out ail right" It was arranged that Mr. 8telger ahould go to i**'tw York and bring back Mr. Throckmorton Ludiugton before be should become enamored of any other woman, and upon his arrival Maud was to "be put In bis way ln the hope tbut be tnlgbt fall tn love with her. - When the man who bad gone back to bis youthful soldier boy days was brought to the town' In Which be had. lived far nearly o dozen years and in which not a atone was familiar to bim be was taken to Mr. Stelger's bouse.

At' a consultation tt was decided to take the middle aged youngster to tbe country and shot bim up wltb no other woman under middle age except bis wife. This was the suggestion of Mrs. Martlndale wben alone with Mr. Stelger. - "1 nave always heard." she said, "and I believe It to be true, tbat if a man lives under tne same roof wltb a woman: win* is one degree removed from a gorgon she <-au get blm." So Mr. Throckmorton was taken to a country piece where there was no other house within several miles, with Maud as bis only companion and Mrs. Martlndale for chaperon. In tbe hope tbat the former supposed husband and wife might become one. The object was'to keep blm away from young girls, wbo were the only barrier between bim and Maud. Youngsters under twenty are prone, to fall in love with older women, provided-the latter hove not reached i he age ot gray hair and wrinkles. - Hick, or rather, Tom, which was bis real name, wao pleased with the attentions of bia quasi wife tmd so lona as tbere waa no rivalry gradually felt 'trader ber influence.

Mrs. Martlndale interrupted this tender scene and took the lamb to the slaughter. And It was a veritable slaughter. Tom on entering the room saw a woman sitting at tbe other end. pock marked, snaggle toothed and wltb a green patch over one eye. She arose and advanced toward blm with arms outstretched till she came wilbin a few feet of bim. when be broke nnd ran. Tearing up tbe staircase to a room where he bad left Maud, be threw himself Into ber arms, crying: "8aveme!*' The next and last feature In this little comedy was the fourth act. which on tbe stage Is usually devoted to straightening out tbe complications and bringing everything out happily. Mr. 8teiger was called In. and there was another conference. The question was how to make known to T,om tbe plot tbat bud been laid to bring him back to bis true but unlawful wife without exdtlng his disapprobation and spoiling everything. Mrs. Martin, dale proponed that Mr. Steiger explain it all to tbe dupe, and Mr. Stelger thought that Mrs. Martlndale would be tbe fitter person for tbe purpose. Maud relieved tbem both of the duty by taking it upon herself-that is. she waited for Tom to give her an opportunity.

After a debate with himself between bis duty and his inclination he went to Maud and informed her that, though he thought he should do Justice to bis wife by marrying her. he preferred to yield to in clination.

The next day Congressman Kelzer delivered an oration to the people of Blue .Milk They listened tolerently to bis discourse, and when he had departed tbey told each other they'd much rather hear the minister talk. They paraded the village streets to the admiration of their own kin. for no outsiders braved the Insufferable heat to come forth and spend tbelr money in Blue Mills. At tbe end of three days all attempt at a celebration had died out. and tbe merchants took down tbeii decorations and resumed their accustomed seats on their doorsteps.

"You shet up. Eil Pepper, or we'll have the law on you for a malcontent ���and dangerous to the peace and happiness of this here village." Thus Blue Mills planted ber foot heavily on the Iconoclastic rale of Eli Pepper and went back to the oont- ���' uolent content of ber quiet days.
