A Popular Concern Our readers' attention is called to the change ol M. J. Henry's advertisement lor the spring trade. Mr. Henry has his seeds grown by the best growers in thc world, and each variety is thoroughly tested as to its vitality in his greenhouse before offering to his customers. Mr. Henry has had over thirty years' experience in growing and handling seeds, and he says it is rather amusing to hear people talk about this or that person's strain of seeds when probably they all came from the same source, as one of the growers in California wrote him that he had shipped 50,000 pounds of seeds to one English seed-house, and about all the leading American and Canadian seed-houses procure a share of their seeds from Pacific Coast growers, one California firm of growers cultivating over 10,000 acres to supply their contracts. His fruit Iree stock is not grown from imported piece root grafts but ate proprogated on seedlings growing on his own grounds, and from hearing trees, an?) as the lower sections of 11. C. is not infested with borers or scale, there is no danger of inlested trees wbfcn purchased. Practical and painstaking planters report no serious losses Irom his stock, and one large planter near Vernon reports a loss of only six trees out of 3,000 planted, and those were injured by moles and gophers. 1 Mr Express, Ii a year.

In a letter to His Worship Mayor Kealy, Mr. Prescott Johnson, secretaty ol the Dartmouth, N. S., lerry commission, says: "The Dartmouth lerry was established in 1890. Having been purchased (rom a private company, it is therefore owned by the town, but run by a board ol commissioners, which consists ol the mayor as chairman and five members, two appointed from the council from their members, one appointed at large by said council, one by the local government and one by the chief justice; terms of office three years, with the exception ol the councillors, the others must be freeholders with a property qualification ol one thousand dollars. The board meets the second Monday of each month to pass all accounts, etc. The chief officials are a superin tendent and secretary. There art three boats on the ferry, two in active service, crossing the harbor between here and the City ol Halifax every fiftfteen minutes. The distance is about one and a quarter miles. Two of these boats are of wood and worked by paddles, the other is a steel screw boat with propellors at each end; was built at Glasgow, and came across under her own steam. The fare lor adults is five cents, children, two cents; horse, wagon aud driver, twenty cents; double ditto, th.rty-hve cents. Besides which we have a system of monthly commutation tickets as follows: Families, consisting ol man and wile and all unmarried children residing under the same rool, $3; man and wile, a**!.**!; man, fi.50; lemale, 67c; male under age, 84c. | servant, 34c.; single teams, ty, double teams, I3.67. This is doubtless the cheapest ferriage in the world, as with passengers who use the lerry olten it does not average more than hall a cent each trip. Our crews are made up as lollows: Chiel engineer, at »8o per month ; 4 engineers it J65; 4 captains, $60; 4 mites, I48; 4 deckhands, 1)6.45. We use ,h: registering turnstiles in the station house, which arc attended ny girls, who sell the tickets." and North Vancuuver, I say that] the property and good will ol the business as it now stands is not worth $175,000—may be wrong. But lor the city at the present time to make such a purchase would certainly be wrong. Leave the ferry company to do the best for us and themselves. There are many sound business men who will be eager enough to compete with them if they fail to supply us with an adequate service. Because the City ol Nortli Vancouver as still got borrowing power, i.e., that the city is not yet bankrupt, it does not mean that we are at present able to make this proposed purchase. Let ll.e city's money be utilised in laying out good roadways, and installing a good and up-to-date sewage system, then we will be utilising and spending our borrowing power to the best advantage. In a lew words, let us do all we can to lay out a clean and modern sanitary town; and there is but little fear that private enterprise will soon take the opportunity ol supplying us with a frequent and adequate ferry service, not only to one point hut to several points ol our waterlront. I remain a taxpayer, one who has the interests of our city at heart. Baraha. North Vancouver, B. C, December 30th, 1907. New Enterprise The new stores of the North Vancouver Hardware Company, limited, are now open lor business. Residents are requested to call and make their acquaintance. A complete line ol shelf, heavy and fancy hardware is carried, besides cutlery, cooking utensils, stoves, sporting goods, carpenters' and builders' supplies, paints, oils and articles ol every description entering into their business. The quality ol the goods is the highest, and the prices are as low as any that can be obtained in Vancouver. Residents should try and bear this in mind, as it will mean their saving ol time, ttotible and expense. This is a local industry, which means added wealth and growth to the city by your patronage.
