NORTH VANCOUVER, B. C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 2. 1907. NUMBER 24 The city council held a specia meeting on Monday night, when a lull hoard was present, with His Worship Mayor Kealy presiding. The principle and most important business on hand was the reading of the general by-law providing for local improvement on streets and special assessments therefore. It has been up several times since it was drawn up for revision, and changes found to be necessary. Monday evening it appeared for its first reading, which it passed after some slight alt*, rations. The second one was a snort one, and having been passed again. Aid Emery made a moi jn that it be handed over to the solicitor for legal supervision. The motion carried. It may be said in connection with this by-law that it is much longer than that ol the City of Vancouver. It has fifty-six clauses and is believed to be the most complete of its kind in Canada. A letter from J. Honeyman regarding grades was laid over till ft the permanent grade question was settled. The Union ol B. C. Municipalities wrote in answer to the mayor's letter to them, relative to thc matter of a certain number of aldermen to be elected for a term of two years instead of one Ior the purpose of facilitating matters for a new council after elections, that the question would be brought up and discussed at tlieir next meeting. The petition from residents on ] Mahon avenue, between Thirteenth and Nineteenth streets, asking for I a new side walk was relerred to kthe board of works. The city laborers sent iiv a [ numerously signed petition asking I for an increase in pay from 28 to I 30 cents an hour. Relerred to the [ finance committee to inquire into. A plan of blocks one and six in [sub-division 61O, was submitted [and approved, The B. C. Electric Railway Com- jpany submitted a plan for some [slight changes that they required I to make at the corner ol First [street and St. David's avenue. The [council thought it was not quite ■explicit enough and laid it over rtill further particulars could be Lreceived from the company. A plan of the location of all the hydrants ol the city was drawn up I by the engineer and laid before the [council for acceptance. J. D. Walters' letter and plans I to have a new street opened up in ll). L 547, was lound to be illegal, land Aid. Smith was appointed to [interview Mr, Walter and explain the conditions to him. Adjourned. K. of P. A preliminary meeting will be [held on Tuesday evening, August I 6th, for the purpose ol taking steps j toward instituting a lodge of the I Knights of Pythias in North Vancouver at an early date. All those I who are interested in the above • project and the general public are cordially invited to be present. ISeveral prominent members of the order from Vancouver will be ' present and will speak on that oc 1 casion. Eves & Lawson are advertising 1 lots wanted and lor sale. Meeting of school board tonight, Principal business will be that ol 'sclacting teachers. Rowing Club Regatta The rowing club will hold their regatta on Saturday, the 17th of August, and will consist of junior doubles. I-'our-oared lapstreak, which will be rowed in heats. J. N. J. Brown has selected a crew among the younger age, which he will stroke. They are as follows: A. Johnson, F. Diplock, A. Sullivan. Eour-oared boys' tub race. Canoe race. Single sculls, in heats. Senior doubles. This will also bc rowed in heats. The boys, from now on, will be splashing water till the day of the regatta. The club has sent to Toronto for two sets of four oars. Sliding seats have also been ordered. Several new members will be added at the next meeting. Vaccination for Cattle. The disease known as Blackleg in cattle, although entirely unknown in many extensive agricultural sections of Canada, and not at all wide spread in any district or province, annually causes extensive losses to cattle raisers. Anthrax, which is quite a different disease, although frequently confused with Blackleg in the minds of many cattle raisers, is also the cause ol serious loss of stock. The former disease is almost entirely confined to cattle under five years, and is generally fatal. The latter attacks othei. classes of farm animals, and the human subject is not exempt from its infection, which generally results seriously. By the aid of science cattle raisers arenow enabled to protect their stock against these maladies. Aa the human family is vaccinated against small pox, in the same manner cattle arerendered immuine Irom Blackleg and Anthrax. The department of Agriculture at Ottawa, through the Health of Animals Branch, is now in a position to supply preventive vaccine for each of these diseases at the nominal cost of five cents per dose. Until recently, by special arrangement with extensive maiiu facturers in the United States, these products were secured at a moderate cost, and were placed in the hands of Canadian cattle raisers at ten cents per dose for Black leg vaccine and fourteen cents per dose |pr Anthrax vaccine. It is due to the (act that these preparations are now being made al the Biological Laboratory in connection with the Health ol Animals Branch that they can be supplied at five cents per dose. The vaccine Ior Blackleg maybe administered by any intelligent person by means of an instrument supplied by the Department at fifty cents. Anthrax vaccine, which is also supplied at live cents per dose, is more difficult to administer, requiring a qualified veterinarian to treat an animal. Cattle raisers who have (ear ol an attack of either Blackleg or Anthrnx would do well to apply to lhe Veterinary Director General at Ottawa (or the proper preventive treatment. II Uoad foreman Eva has received orders from the district council to proceed with the work of clearing and bridging the Keith road, as far west as Eagle Harbor. This is the consequence of an official inspection by the council and engineer on Friday last. W. ri. Dowdin, ol Thirteenth street, North Vancouver, leaves on Sunday Ior an extended trip to England.

Cudney, the proprietor of the pioneer paint shop, on the Esplanade, Builders in North Vancouver feel the necessity for a substantial wharf (or the landing of heavy Ireighl. The conditions at the present are somewhat inadequate to the needs in this respect, the wharves in use being too slight in structure to land stone or granite safely.

Also the hydraulic proposition on Cayuie creek, known as the Enterprise, gives promise to good results. Active operations there have been started. A six-loot ledge has been -struck lately on the Lome mine. Negotiations are pending lor extensive development work thereon. There arc at present a number ol local men interested, who are prepared to further open up this property. The property known as the Spokane will shortly commence operations. The crops were never in better condition, said Mr. Campbell. The fruit and vegetables are all that cau be desired.

The mass meeting held on Tuesday night in Larson's pavilion to discuss the advisability ol approaching the Provincial government to assist in building the proposed bridge across the Second narrows was the largest nnd most important evei held lliis side ol the mlet. The speakers were unanimous anal the audience i n thusiastically supported them all being in lavor ol .1 combined -I and trafiic bridge. No deputation ever wenl to the Capital Citj io interview the government on a proposition so universally supported by the citizens. The government must realize the importance ol this great audi rtak i ig, and it would indeed be gratifying and most honorable il the present administration, with its substantial majority behind it, would openly declare us intentions as to its policy regarding the assistance it would give towards building this needed link ol transportation between the southern and northern portions ol British Columbia. We hope that this great work will shortly be commenced, and that the people will control the bridge lor their benefit, and lh il not only one railway will use, bul that hall a dozen will be running from this. ity to Vancouver ovei it. A dispatch Irom Victoria slates: "Mayor Bethune yesterday re- ceived a telegram Irom Mayor Kealy, ol Norlh Vancouver, who is in Victoria interviewing the government 011 the subject ol the Second narrows bridge, asking il a meeting could be arranged between the joint committee and the railway commission here, al 1 o'clock today. Mayor Bethune replied that he would sec the commissioners this morning and try to arrange it." AROUND THE WORLD IX FORTY DAYS The Scientific American says that the prophetic and lively imagination of the late Jules Verne recorded one ol its most daring lights, when he wrote that mosl entertaining work, " Around the World in Eighty Days", and it is probable that none ol us who read its chapters supposed that he would live to see the day when the Frenchman's estii ite ol eighty days would be 1 ut in hall by an 1 nterprising ofiii cr ol the English army, who set out to test the, speed ol modern around-tbe-i rth travel lor himself. In 1 recent li iter to tho London Time Lieut.-Col. I'urn- ley Campbell wrote that In There was a big turn out of I citizens and ratepayers at the mass meeting on Tuesday night, in Larson's pavilion, to discuss the question ol the proposed bridge across the Second narrows, His Worship Mayor Kealy presided, with him were scaled on the platlorm Reeve W. H. May and Vice president G, |. Phillippo ol the board of trade. The mayor in opening said that with regards to the proposed bridge across the Second narrows they must try to gd something definitely settled, First tho, bridge mu-t 1.6 owned either by the government or a private company, and it must bo a combined railway and irallic bridge. The bridge must not be opened tn one rail* w iy, bui to hall a dozen, lie reined to the stand the city council had laken with -the dominion govi rnment on the question. The council had petitioned the local member and government, and used all tliu means in its power to get a substantial answer. A communication was nil ived Irom Mr. Macpherson lo the effect that according lo the British Nortli Am. 1 ii a act the government had no jurisdiction over the I.ridge, because it did not connect two provinces. No hopes were held out that the dominion government would grant a subsidy for a combined railway and traffic bridge. Hit' next best way to act, the speaker thought, would be to petition the provincial government. The city council thought il would be wise to get the Van- couver city council to move in the matter, and had asked (or a joint meeting, which look place in the city hall, when it was decided to have a combiiii >l delegation to ma a 1 Mr. Mi Bride, the premier, on his return Irom England, 1 he Vancouver Board oi 'I rade had scut a memorial to the provincial government in support ol a combined railway and trafiic bridge. His worship said that he hoped to sec a large delegation go to Victoria. " North Vancouver wilt not allow tin." grass to grow under Us leet till the bridge is an accomplished fact," said his worship amidst applause. The V., W. & Y. Railway Company had got tlu: right to build the bridge on the other side 0! the blull in the townsite ol Hastings. The ques- tion is not to build a bridg. fur ilm present, but for ten years hence.

Thc desideratium is to build lines ol communication westward and northward. The wheels ol progress must and will move; therefore, we must consider the northward movement. The question of the bridge is only one ol ilie means or the interests ol the community for progress, and the rubicon of a line ol railway ol about 700 miles in length northward. In looking at the different .iiuls ol locomotion, the land means ol communication is a movement that grows and develops as an infant, ln forces of steam, gas, electricity, etc., only two subserve—walking beasts ol burden and railways.

The do- '.mum government took out ol ihis port last year $1,784,000 in levenue, and probably Ihis year it Lill reach ti,000,000. The rail- load to the north would open up a ■dining, timber and cattle grazing [ountry - the best and richest in lie world, and it would make it liossihle tor the settlers nl th nquamilh and other nearby points [0 come to town. Thc dominion government should help this proposed work. In ten years it would Let >4,000,000 in duties lor so doing. As to the province, it should ilso contribute in every way liossiblc, (or every ton ol coal liken out ol this vast territory it Ivottld reap a royalty. Taxes Ivould bc collected on licenses Ior Ishcries and royalties on timber. Irhere would be considerable levenue from thc income tax. Il'lic land, when opened up by a lailroad, would bring about ?.:- an J'lii". (Applause.) In about six f nonths iifty the completion of the liridge there would be cars ol Jicveral railroads run on the north Lul." of the inlet, Burnaby cannot ['ive without disposing of its grain, lairy produce and eggs. Day and /light farmers are passing both |,vays over the Fraser river bridge ,it New Westminster, The cables [jisid water pipes laid under the '"irst narrows were in constant danger, and if the bridge across the Second narrows were built the water pipes and cables could be conducted over it. Timber and cordwood could be served to the population. The government, with its million surplus, can easily do it. Our cities must bc built. It took five, ten and fifteen centuries in the old country to build cities The call here is progress; and so let the northern country be opened up. The southern cry is to open the North, and to the government that built the bridge at New Westminster, he said, nothing but gratitude and honor were due them ; and all must acknowledge there was great merit shown there. There was also great merit shown in the promotion ol great public enterprises, President Kooscvdt had recognized soldiers, engineers and others in their services, and so the minister ol finance deserves the commendation ol the people. In conclusion Mr. Ker said: "1 have only to say that I hope that the Initiative taken by the mayor and Ihis council and our Iriends on thc other side will be taken and lollowod up by lhe provincial government." (Loud applause). Keeve May was next called : "This is no imaginary need." said Mr. May. " ll it a stern necessity. We have seen thc phenomiiial development thus lar and the great growth ol the city and district ol North Vancouver that is now going on. This calls Ior a means ol transport between thc cities and municipalities to the south with those ol the north. The north with its many valleys gives promise ol making llritisli Columbia the best producing province and the brightest gem in the Dominion. This port, also, is but in its infancy, as to the great prospects that conlront it, and thc bridge would be one ol thc greatest means of bringing ihis result forth. To the north lies one ol the greatest and brightest gems in the people, and there would always be a great deal ol transportation carried on over thc bridge. It is a plain duty ol the government to contribute towards increasing the Vancouver, followed. He heartily endorsed the views of the speakers belore him. He thought there was no telling what a luture a loot, traffic and railway bridge might bring to tho neighboring cities and municipalities and the immense country in thc nortli. "II the provincial government," said Mr. Heaps, "only built this bridge as a speculation I leel confident lhat the revenue and tolls would make it a magnificent investment." In closing he said if he were speaking in Vancouver instead of Nortli Vancouver, his expressions would be in eflect that a bridge across the Second narrows would be more important to Vanceuver than North Vancouver. W. J. McMillan, president ol the Vancouver board ol trade, said iu substance that the board ol trade in Vancouver had passed s resolution endorsing this movement and that iln-y were willing to join in and assist in every way possible. 0, J. Phillippo, vice-president ol the North Vancouver Board ol Trade, stated Irom the outset that the board took a deep interest in thc bridge. "Wc want the bridge; wc are going to get it, (ot wc have earned the name ol the Ambitious City, and are determined not only to have a railway bridge but a vehicular," he said, amidst loud applause, He lelt sure that when the deputation 'went to Victoria that they wen sure to impress the government in such a manner that ihe bridge would be an accomplished lact in a very short time. (Applause). T. P, Fell said that lhe forceful eloquence ol Mr. Ker and others was convincing enough that the bridge was a necessity. The delightful and speedy service ol the Dominion ol Canada, and let us ferry was not sufficient if Nortl join in strong expressions in favor of connecting the south and north sides of the inlet—the London of the West." (Applause). Alderman Heaps, ol the city ol bounden duty of the dominion government to assist the project. Agitation was the best tonic to effect the building of the bridge, but the tactics of women's suffragists must not be used. The Hon. Richard McBride and others, together with Mr. S. Gintzburger, who was now driving piles in lot 204, were doing lots for the province and Nortli Vancouver. "We must have the bridge," said he, amidst applause. The mayor stated that he had regrets from several who could not be present at the meeting. Alderman Jordan said he echoed the remarks of the several previous speakers, and wanted to learn the feeling of the citizens and ratepayers before the deputation went to Victoria. R, H. Alexander, manager of the Hastings Saw Mill, said that they could not wait (or the gradual growth of the place Irom a hamlet to a village and to a town, and to a city. " Nowadays we grow more rapidly than ever," said Mr. Alexander. It had (alien to his lot to see the growth of the area of the City of Vancouver, from (our or five acres to its present size. What has been seen in the past in the growth of cities will be seen in the future. In the early days, when the city started, no one expected to see more than to.ooo, later on the limit was raised till the ambitions ol the hundred- thousand club wanted 100,000 of a population by 1910, and this would not at all astonish anyone ii it were an accomplished fact. " II this suburb of Vancouver had railway connection we would have one great city on the inlet," he said, amidst applause. There is going to be a bridge, and it is up to lhc f rovince to build it lor the benefit of British Columbia and both the cities of Vancouver and North Vancouver. (Applause). D. Von Cramer spoke briefly favoring the bridge, and stated that he would give it his moral support. Councillor McNaught said that the building of the proposed ridge was a great subject. It meant the direct intercommunication between hamlets, villages and cities of the great northern interior and the northwest. There was two large sections ol land cut in twain by a large body ol water, A traffic bridge was needed as well as a railway Irridge. There would he live or six railways allheading lor tho inlet. Assuming lhat but a railway were to build the bridge, it could hardly be expectee that it would provide lor vehicles ; and nobody doubted that it was a necessity. " Vou have heard of the estimable benefit a combined railway and traffic bridge was to New Westminster, then how much more so would one built across the Second narrows be to the cities ol Vancouver or Nortli Vancouver ?" he asked, amidst loud applause, As these cities grew the necessity was apparent. Were a railway to build it it would have practically a monopoly. It was Incumbent upon the government to give us Iree ingress and egress to North Vancouver. He (the speaker) in iSSS had stumped Great Britain pointing out the great advantages there were in Canada, and at Edinburgh he said that be!o;e many years there would be three or four railways spanning Canada, n reply he was told that they would not pay Ior the axle grease. This was destined to be the greatest port the world ever knew -11st even excepting Liverpool. 1 Applause). The Victoria Nianza bridge was the gtcatcst engineering feat ol the times, and with our vast resources and assets to the north, and the bridge an accomplished lad, in ten years millions ol people would be per- Vancouver was going to be bull' up as a great city. No efforts should be spared to have the bridge built. The province, he thonght, should build it. In fact, it was the ambulating the now vast forests. This country could all be made contributory to Burrard inlet, Public utilities, such as this work, should be held and controlled by the people. In the Squamish Valley and the Pemberton there was a plateau ol 100,000 acres ol the very best of land awaiting railway communication and development. In a very few years three or four railways would be seeking an outlet here. He con trasted Vancouver and Nortli Van couver as being similarly separated by water as London with its Thames and Liverpool with its Mersey. In ten years the government would realize that this bridge would be the best investment it ever put its money into. (Applause). Alderman Irwin stated that when ft is viewed that this province were rich in lands, mines and lumber, as well as fisheries, etc., with such transportation (aciltties as were spoken ol, British Columbia should become the richest province in Canada— an empire within itself, (Applause). The march of civilization was westward ho ! now it is nortoward ho I The bridge should be built for vehicular .and railway traffic. (Applause). A. Gillman briefly supportedthe bridge, and said that it would not cost as much as the Westminster structure. Mayor Keal y made a few remarks, summing up the reasons why the provincial government should have absolute contrel, building a joint bridge, and taking immediate action. Chairman Kealy said: " We want it finished at the sa e time or before the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern get built through to the coast, otherwise it will be altogether possible that trade will divert to the east ol this district and go south by way ol^ Edmonton where they now have communication with the south." Ewing Buchan, manager ol the Bank of Hamilton, said that il it were only Ior family supplies- such as butter, eggs, fruit, etc., all should urge the building ol thc bridge. He thought it was a mistake to reler to North Vancouver as the Ambitious City. It sliould be callod the Enterprising or Energetic City or the City ol Determination. He hoped, however, it would go ahead and prosper. (Applause.) E, Mahon, in a few well chosen remarks, moved the following resolution, which was unanimously carried amidst loud applause : "This meeting heartily endorses the action taken by the councils ol Vancouver and Nortli Vancouver cities and the councils ol lhe municipalities of North Vancouver, Burnaby, South Vancouver and Richmond and the boards of trade ol Vancouvei and Nortli Vancouver in sending a deputation to Victoria lor the purpose ol uiging on the provincial government the necessity ol tlieir building a joint vehicle and railroad bridge forthwith across the Second narrows ol Burrard inlet, thus safeguarding the only possible passage."
