U^Pne, CHINOOK Vol. I I.X.i. 28 SOI TII VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA, S V1TRDAY, \'Q\ KMUER 22, 1913 Price .; cents Mr. C. Harrison Urges South Vancouver to Secure Factory Sites and Direct Connection With C. N. R. The First Secretary of the South Vancouver Board of Trade Gives Vivid Impressions of Visit to Old Country-- Makes Interesting Comparisons oj Conditions of Trade There With Those Here Mr, Charles Harrison, as the lirst secretary of the South Vancouver Board of Trade is particularly well acquainted with thc conditions of the municipality, social, civic and industrial. During his connection with the boanl he was a keen student of municipal problems and took a very active interest in the development of South Vancouver along progressive lines. On his recent prolonged visit to the Old Country, after many years sojourn in Canada, Mr. Harrison was able to make some interesting com- [lariMHis as to the general conditions prevailing in his old home land with these of his new adopted country. In an interview with a representative of the "Chinook" Mr. Harrison gave his impressions as follows : "It is a very enjoyable time when one is able after years of anticipation to visit the old home land and again meet those near and dear to us amidst tlu- familiar and picturesque surroundings we have remembered with so much pride since we left them to cume to this land of opportunities. "It comes as a great surprise to lind that during the years spent here one has all unconsciously formed an attachment for his adopted country and the broad-minded, energetic spirit of its people, which is equal to or greater than for the old land. One feature which I found most noticeable was the great increase in the cost ui living in e.ngland in proportion to thc accompanying increase in tbe wages earned, there being an Increase of quite 30 per cent, in the cust of living over thc cost when I eft tee come to Canada first. "Canada is much more correctly nn- derstood by the people generally than was the case some few years hack, and more especially is this the case in reference lo liritish Columbia. I found in well-informed quarters ihat the utmost confidence was 1n.lt in thc future of Vancouver amt District, more llie opening o which is expected to have quite as lood an effect on business here as is "Iticipated by the greatest optimist Mlong us, though such business will of r . essity be of a gradual growth. "1 here is in England, also, quite an unusual shortage of money for investment, although business is good and few unemployed. This is gener- 'II) ascribed tei the effect of the situation in the Balkans having scared capital somewhat, and to the unusual number of borrowers feir large imountl being in tbe market al the Mme lime. This, together with opportunities offering at larger rates of interesi is. to my mind, thc reason "" municipal bonds are not selling, ''though there is, to sonic extent, a '"line; that Canadian municipalities mi'- <-'��� �� iiiuviiin i iknu especially follouriM af the Panama Canal, are not quite so conservative in their borrowings as is desirable. This one can understand somewhat, Taking Soulh Vancouver as an instance, here is a municipality (and by municipality they understand us tee be practically a village in a farming community) borrowing large sums of money annually, quite as large sums as they would expect a large town or city to be borrowing. This naturally has the appearance of frenzied finance to the small investor there, as (Continued on Page 9) Probable Civic Candidates Below are given the candidates mentioned as likely to contest the various wards in thc forthcoming municipal elections.

Defends Present South Vancouver Street Lighting System Gives Cost of Service in Municipality and Makes Comparisons with Other Cities. Total Cost of Lighting for One Year was $22,074. "I notice that much has been said recently in the press concerning the cost fi streel lighting in South Vancouver," saiel Mr. C. Rummel, manager of the Light & Power Dept. of [ the li. C. Electric to a representative of the "Chinook" yesterday. "In view of the mention which has already I been made on the subject I think ii I would possibly be to the public advantage ii a straight statement was j made concerning the exact cost of I-treet lighting in the municipality. "The rale charged Soulh Vancouver by ilu- I! C. Electric for Btreel j light- i- 12c per night feir the lirst 511 lights; lie per night for the second '.ill lights and 10c per night for all j .ever 100 lamps, this rate being based on the lamps being in operation until 1 a.m. For the f'eiir winter months of the year, howi ver, it has been i us- tomary in South Vancouver to keep the .-treet liyhts in operation all night and for this additional service a small extra charge is made. In passing, I might say that the rale for st lighting in South Vancouver ia identically the same as the rate charged by this Company for similar service in Point Grey, Burnaby and North Vancouver. "Going over the Company'.- books jl find that the total cost of streel J lighting in South Vancouver freun I September 30, 1912, to September 30, [1913, is $22,074,211, this total including the extra cost of operating the street lights for the four winter months throughout thc entire night. Taking the number of lamps in operation during each month the cost of each lamp lor the period is $3.49 per month. Computing this monthly rental on i yearly basis it means that South Vancouver is paying $42.50 per lamp per year. This is, of course, .-.lightly higher than the rate which is charged in Vancouver, this condition existing because of the fact that the South Vancouver street lighting system covers many districts not yet fully developed and our distribution line must be more extensive per lamp in South Vancouver than in the city to give the same public service. "It would probably be interesting for tiny of your readers who may think lhe cost of street lighting in S.etith Vancouver to be high, to com par. the rate charged by the li. C Electric in that district with the rate which is charged by the Winnipeg municipal plant for Winnipeg street lighting, the lamps used in the com- paris m bi ing the -ante- l in such a comparison, with Souih Vancouvei paying the B C.

COUNCILLOR WILBERS ON "PUBLIC UTILITIES" The following is thc full text of the speech of Councillor Wilbers at the Vancouver Progress Club on "South Vancouver Day" : Seeuth Vancouver has before it many difficult problems, and there are many opinions as to how those problems ���nould be met. These differences of "I'mi'in are largely the result of the Cl|5ni.ipolitan character of the population. Different men have brought heiin their different home lands nat- l��nal ideas and national prejudices. ' is difficult for them to grip���at Once���the fact that they arc in new '"rrenindings���where many of the conditions of life are in their elemen- '"> stages, and where there cannot e an application of methods which would be effective in an older and m"rc settled community. '" South Vancouver we suffer (as .'.li new communities suffer), because 'he early pioneers lacked (and I do '"' blame them for lacking) the prophetic vision to see that the muni- r|Paliiv would grow with marvellous rapidity. Only a weaver of fairy * "rics could imagine that in a few srmrt years South Vancouver would each its present wonderful development. "ad those who had the power in tlle early days, had also that gift of looking forward, franchises given would have been more restricted, and would have been for shorter periods, and framed more in the interests of the community. Arrangements would have been made whereby light, heat, power and transit owned by thc people could have been brought within the region of practical politics. Even now there are many who regard such schemes as practical, but admit they will be difficult and costly. -My personal opinion is. that they are practical and that the difficulties can bc surmounted, and that the benefits will far outweigh the costs. There is ��� throughout South Vancouver a Very solid opinion that the municipality (or thc city that it may become) should own not only its own water supply (as it does) but also the municipal gas plant, electric power and light plant, a telephone system, and at some date, near or distant, its own means of locomotion and transit. From time to time, we have had complaints (more or less justifies) as io charges made by existing corporations, faults in the system and other grievances. A section of the people (and a very large section), hear accounts of cheaper, and better light, heat, and power in municipalities owning their own utilities, and thc result is a very natural feeling of envy. "If others can enjoy these privileges, why not we?" That is a very natural question, and to that question comes the reply of experts: "Vein can. yeeu should��� you must." These ambitions can eenly be realized by very carefully noting the experiences of other place-, by hastening slowly on sure ground, seeking the very best advice (thc best will be the cheapest) and, acting in a spirit of civic ambition which shall seek above everything else thc good of Seiuth Vancouver as a whole. X'ei good for any section, no good for any interests, corporation or individuals at thc cost of the welfare of the community. I am reluctant to endeavor to forecast whal the organization will be which shall ultimately give thc people of South Vancouver their own municipally owned, and municipally managed public utilities: I will only say that in my opinion, the arrangements must be firm as regards principle, but elastic as regards organization, for organization must change with the changing conditions of industries. I will illustrate my meaning by saying that weapons of war are constantly altering, but thc priciples of courage and patriotism remain the same. So, although, changes may come even in thc form nf municipal government, and in the scope and duties of the governing body, yet this must ever have courage to deal with thc difficulty and the efvfe patriotism to work i. >v the common good. Seeme people seem to think that this plea for municipally levelled public utilities is new. but as hetig agee as 1S7.S. a great English writer had articles in the press of that day. predicting that municipalities would own and control utilities such as we arc discussing today. It is not here, the time or place for me to go into details of civic schemes. They must be considered iii all their minute details. I only desire here to claim for South Vancouver that wc are alive to the progressive spirit of the times. W'e are not going to ignore the less ins taught us by cities which have ac- cpiired public utilities anil worked them with profit and convenience. If we acquire sites for industries on terms which appear advantageous, it is because wc are taking from the past some direction for lhe future. South Vancouver must encourage industries which will give a promise of pcrmancy of employment and give ps a settled instead of a nomadic population. I for one, will assent to po scheme hastily rushed. I advocate the municipality being educated and consulted, and I resent that wild, irresponsible criticism which appears only eager io seize on faults and errors and gives no credit for cither good done eir good attempted. I claim that South Vancouver has both attempted and accomplished much good. W'e have earned. mit repose, for we believe 'hat the municipality (Continued on Page 10) MILLIONS OF FERTILE ACRES AWAIT FARM PRODUCERS The fact that Hritish Columbia must get people on to ihe land was never meere forcibly brought home than it was last Friday evening when at a Special meeting of the South Vancouver lie ard of Trade Mr. Ot- way Wilkie. secretary of the Fraser Valley Development League, and other speakers addressed that body on the purposes of the organization. Tlle meeting was called as a special one to hear what thc league had accomplished and to arrive at a decision as to whether or not South Vancouver Would, with the other municipalities in the district, continue to support thc league. The matter was referred to tbe finance ceimmittee with instructions to repeirt at the next regular meeting of thc board. In setting forth the objects of the league. Mr. W'ilkic gave a very good account of whal had been done in thc last few- months and what the league wanted to do in the future. He stated that though there were 700 acres of land per capita in the province, yet every year over $25,- 000,000 worth nf produce and products indirectly from thc farms, was imported. He cited that in Scotland and Irelat.d, where there was less than three acres per capita, thi people raised enough for iheir own use and s mic if export He stated that he had been a resilient of the district for 35 years, and had the proper support been forthcoming from the gi v- eminent, there would not be any need of importing millions of dollars worth of products each year. It was the plan of thc league. Mr. Wilkie stated, to have thc matter of government aid in land clearing brought hefore thc legislature at the corainp session, and he felt that the matter should have thc entire support of every board of trade and municipality tributary to the Fraser \ alley so as to make thc proper impression on the government. There are millions of acres in the Fraser valley, which if properly cultivated and farmed would raise more than enough to supply tbe province. In the last six months, thc secretary stated, there had been many inquiries at thc league's headquarters, and in the Progress Club's chambers in the city, and they had actually been successful in sending people into the valley who had invested over $50,- 000. It was not the purpose of the organization to secure people for this (Continued on Page 2) SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22. 1913 GREATER VANCOUVER CHINOOK THREE B. C.

He said the elections as at presenl conducted were only a farce. Mr. Lewis said the government were very illogical in asking that tlle mayor he elected annually and the councillors for three years. Clause 5 tlle government wished to refer to a special commission, It dealt with the basis of election of councillors and was one in which tlle government was prepared t" lake all sides uf the house into consideration. It was a smart move on thc government's part and was the best diplomacy yet shown by the liberal party. It was received with mingled feelings. Clause 6���"All voters may vote on the election of major and council." Mr. Lewis said "council" should be changed to "councillors" and the Minister of War in a very conciliatory spirit agreed to accept the correction.

Mr. Lamond moved Clause 2: The governing body shall consist of a mayor and council. Mr. Burgess, Minister of War, rising to second, said he would like to add to Clause 2 "until such time as the city shall formally change its form of government." Mr. Lewis moved an amendment altering the phraseology of Clause 2 The clause was passed. Clause 3 was then under discussion: "The mayor shall be elected annually." Mr. Rankin moved that the words "by the council" be added. Ile said he thought it would promote a more business like council and free the mayor somewhat from the varied interests which controlled elections for mayor. Clause 3 carried by a narrow majority amid loud government cheers. Clause 4 now came under discussion. It provided for councillors being elected for terms of three years and one third retiring each year. Minister of War Burgess supported .ie clause in a brilliant speech. Mr. Hurry moved an amendment to del te Clause 4 and add: "All councillor^ shall be elected for an indefinite period, subject to initiative and ecall. Ten per cent, shall be deemed necessary to initiate a new election an 1 recall of any council or councillors." Mr. Hurry made a brilliant speech in favor of its adoption and said it would make for more efficient government. Mr. Lewis vigorously opposed the amendment, saying the public officials Mr. Hill moved an amendment as fi/.lnws em Clause 6: Delete thc word voters and insert the word householders and add "and money bylaws." The Minister of War declared that the government had under consideration a clause which would provide for the Voters Roll on which the election of mayor and council was decided being used on money bylaws. Clause 8 came under discussion and was one which created the most animated debate of the evening. It provided for the remuneration of the mayor and council and some of the members of thc cross-benches could not understand why it was proposed to remunerate the mayor higher than the councillors. Thc Secretary of State and Minister of War made strong speeches in favor of the principle of the clause and eventually it was carried. The committee then rose and reported progress. The government intimated that the third reading of the Franchise and Incorporation Bills would bc taken up next Tuesday and they also proposed to set that night aside for the introduction of a private member's bill. The house then adjourned. The government is out for making a record in legislation. This is the third bill they have introduced this session and the Conservative party do not yet seem to have recovered from the disastrous defeat at the polls.

The municipal census of South Vancouver is not expected to bc completed until the end of thc year. All houses are being numbered and the enumerators are kept busy. The total attendance at schools in South Vancouver during October readied 4352. The highest attendance was at Lord Selkirk School, Cedar Cottage, thc figures being 666. The decrease in attendance during October compared with the month of September is stated to have been due to sickness among the scholars. * *< * It has been decided by the Vancouver park commissioners that certain old buildings located on park property on Coal Harbor and English Bay he rffcred tor sale, to be removed by the purchaser before March 1, 1914. plates further legislation.

The bylaw is ultra vires and the conviction must be quashed." Mr. Walden and a large number of South Vancouver tradesmen interested in the outcome of the proceedings were present in Supreme Court chambers to hear thc argument between their counsel, Mr. C. M. Woodworlh and Municipal Solicitor Clark, of South Vancouver. "I may say," said Mr. Woodweerth, "that the Attorney-General has been notified of these proceedings and has not instructed anyone to enter an appearance." Mr. Woodworth's argument which covered a considerable amount of law, was briefly that thc 29th Act of Charles II. having made Sunday trading a criminal offence, thc Act being still unrepealed, the bylaw attempted to create an offence already covered by the law, and was therefore ultra vires. He further argued little page and flower girl loc sweet in pure white, the page ca ing a while satin cushion and wedding ring, and the flower g\ dainty basket of pink chry-.n mums.

A SUGGESTIVE COMPARISON THE City of Maisonneuve holds, in some respects, a somewhat analagous position in its connection with Montreal to that of South Vancouver with regard to the City of Vancouver. Maisonneuve adjoins Montreal and has a population about the same as South Vancouver, namely 36,606. Like South Vancouver, the residents of Maisonneuve are largely of the industrial class. During the past few years there has been a certain section of people in Montreal advocating the annexation of Maisonneuve. Asked about a week ago, ''has Maisonneuve any desire to unite with Montreal?"��� Mayor Michard, of Maisonneuve, replied, "None whatever. The public man who would advocate that policy in our city would be committing municipal suicide. Our city is progressing rapidly; we are content." In quoting these remarks the "Chinook" is not prepared to endorse the extreme statement of "municipal suicide" in any comparison of South Vancouver with Maisonneuve. But these remarks of the Mayor of Maisonneuve led up to the statement of two points hearing on thc analogy mentioned. Referring to industries, Mayor Michaud said: "Wc have great factories and others are coming in steadily. Industries are the life of a city, and wc are making their locati'm mir great aim." In South Vancouver wc have some factories, if not yet great nor many, and we have like Maisonneuve, the opportunity of becoming a great industrial centre. We have in South Vancouver the waterfrontage and thc sites available for industries that are not now obtainable in the City of Vancouver. It remains for the Council and the Board of Trade, before it becomes too late or too expensive, to aim at getting these factories by purchasing sites and by other methods of inducing industries to locate in South Vancouver. Both .Maisonneuve and Xew Westminster arc not* able examples of the success of persistent efforts in this direction. Thc other point in tlie analogy referred to was that as Montreal had an enormous amount of work on its hands now���"enough to keep it busy for a long time," it was not in a position at present to annex Maisonneuve. It would appear, according to Mayor Baxter, that the City of Vancouver is in a very similar position as regards the annexation of South Vancouver, In any case, while the early incorporation of South Vancouver as a city may be desirable, it need not necessarily preclude its future annexation to the City of Vancouver. HOMES THAT ARE OWNED Will-',N a frenchman, the author of "John Bull and his island," called England "a country of homes" he touched a far truer chord <>f comprehension than did Napoleon when he summed her Up a-. "a nation of shopkeepers." They wen both right, but with the difference that the shops are only a means towards an end���the home. For to the Anglo-Saxon race, whether in the Hritish Isles. Canada or the Other dominions across the seas, thc highest ideals of earthly happiness centre In home. It is homes which have inspired the greatest thoughts and deeds, and it is homes whieh are the refuge and harbor in life, and yet the simplest words in English song suffice to give child or sage the truest conception of home. A man may reside in an apartment house, an hotel or boarding house, but they are not homes in the sense that a man's own castle, own house or own shack is to the dwellers therein. There is not the same feeling of possession, of independence and liberty. The man who rents a house, however comfortable and well equipped, cannot by the nature of the contract, feel it to be so completely home as when he owns it himself. Canada is happily a country of homes. The people who come to British Columbia arc mainly home seek ers. There are many immigrants, like the Chinese Japanese, Italians and others who stay only long enough in the Dominion to make a competence with which to return to their own country. They supply their quotum of labor in building up the country but the bulk of their earnings does not remain here. They are birds of passage who build a temporary nest here and then migrate to their own native land. But the people who labor here with brain or brawn, whether on farm, in store, office or factory, and wkto out of their competence build or own their homes are the people that this province requires. Their FOARD OF TRADB MEMBERSHIP Till*. South Vancouver Board of Trade has rendered good service to the municipality in the pasl and much will be expected of it in promoting its future development, Probably also, the members of the board will he glad to receive all the help they can from people interested in the welfare of the locality. This word "locality" appears to have recently given rise to some doubt or misunderstanding as t< > its pre cise meaning. It seems that a clause in the charter of the Board of Trade slates that "all persons not dwelling within the locality arc debarred from join-; ing," or words to that effect. The point is that sev-! eral gentlemen not living in the municipality, but who are interested, or who arc property owners therein, have expressed a tlesire to become members of the board. Tlie secretary of the Main Street Improvement Association has therefore written to the Board of Trade- secretary recently, enquiring whether the gentlemen referred to are eligible for membership of the board. In reply, thc secretary of the Board of Trade pointed out that its charter was granted by an Act of the Dominion government, and that the board has no jurisdiction in altering any of its bylaws. It was further stated that the indefinite use of the word "locality" left it open to question. It appears to us that if the word "locality" is not expressly stated to imply "within the municipality," that any person living in the City of Vancouver may be considered to come within the meaning of the word. In any case it should surely be within thc province of the Board of Trade to stretch the application of tbe clause to that extent. Considering, also, that a property owner in South Vancouver, although living without thc confines of the municipality, is eligible as a member of the Council, it does not appear to be necessary for tlie Board of Trade to strain at so fine a point as the precise significance of this word "locality." It seems only a matter of justice that such ownership of property in the municipality by residents in Vancouver should carry with it the option of Board of Trade membership. The more members with these qualifications the board can get thc better probably for the municipality. THE NEW LIBERAL CLUB AN event that marked the awakened interest in the political activities of the district was the formal opemng on Friday of tlie headquarters of the South Vancouver Liberal Club. It was a great and unqualified success. An excellent smoking concert had been arranged, and a large gathering greeted with enthusiasm the optimistic references by thc various speakers to the prospects of the Liberal Party. The importance of thc establishment of a Liberal Club in this rapidly growing municipality was evidenced by the presence of Mr. M. A. McDonald, president of the Provincial Liberals, Mr. S. S. Taylor antl a. number of other Liberals well and prominently known throughout Greater Vancouver and the province. The new Liberal Club now fills a want that has heen felt and expressed in no uncertain way for some considerable time by a large proportion of the ratepayers nf South Vancouver. Strong and efficient organization, as well as the effective exposition of Liberal principles in this district has hitherto been lacking. These deficiencies, it may be confidently expected] the new Liberal club will do much iu remedying, anil it deserves the whole-hearted support of the South Vancouver residents who are in sympathy with its legitimate aims. BURNABY BONDS Will 1.1'". London, as the financial metropolis of the world, will probably remain lor many years in come the principal resort of Canadian municipalities in need eef money, there have been significant indications recently that llie necessary accommodation can be obtained in both Canada and the United States mi satisfactory terms. Recently the City of Vancouver had no difficulty in selling a not inconsiderable amount of bonds to residents in thc city. Another instance concerns Burnaby, Reeve McGregor having announced early this week that a loan of $1,2:0,000 was being negotiated in the States. It was -tated last week tbat London financiers had an option on this amount so that it appears as if better terms were being offered in thc States. It was further stated by Reeve McGregor that the llurnaby Council had received no less than four offers from financial sources in the United States, a healthy and encouraging sign of renewed confidence in Canadian issues in general and in those of British Columbia in particular.

Upon two sides iln unbroken line eef trees frowned down upon the level acres, and in the rear the fields stretched away t'. a far elistant line of prairie. In front was a little landing, ending in a grassy path that led back tu tlie low, grey farmhouse amid its grove nf oaks. This much I saw from the edge of the forest, and then, as I came closer, my eye was caught by a figure upon tlie landing. It was that of a girl, and at my approach she withdrew the line with which she had I been fishing ami came forward tee meet me.

Then, when all was dune and there was naught left save to wait for the physician, he took me out upon his wide front gallery, bearing glasses and a bottle of the red wine of old France.

We are lonesome here at Silver Promise, despite the passing craft, and visitors are always welcome. They are thc only newspapers 1 have." I explained that, having come from even a more lonesome spot, I had no news, although, as I - ion found e.iit, this mattered not at all. True.

We left nest elay. and making the Bayou Vermillion, picked up the cypress at dusk. With the lirst light the following morning we entered the stream, and, having found the marsh a mile back frmn the bank, prepared for the business of the expedition. I lur fir ful. W'e caught some otter ami many muskrats, and nf feathered game there wa- more than an abundance. Also we were ni t disturbed, since our marsh, though but a shorl disl ine frmn the- bayou, was mosl carefully hidden. It lay in a little hollow. ..r depression, where the stream spread out inin a bog, and upon three ^licit was eh sed in by a dense growth of forest. It was a spot to delight tlie heart of i trapper, yet there was about it none of that feeling of desolation which one experiences in ihe wild. Always, but a mile away, there was the busy life 'if the bayou, and often, when looking upstream. I had caught a grey drift of smoke above the line eef the forest. That it was not the wind-driven clouds of a camp fn. was evident. Its quiet steadiness sp.ekc nf hearth and hnine ami the lil, ihat i- within four walls. As im- my companion, he proved all and even more than I had hoped for. Quiet, industrious, quick I" take advantage of each new lesson taiighi ; gener'.i by the marsh, he was a very king ol partners. Always there was the contented smile, the willing hand, the cheery voice across the fire, Thus we wenl on for many pleasant elays until Nature sought her usual payment of disaster. It was a trap that caused lhe mis- ehief���a trap set the year before and forgotten by old Alcide. Finding a long-hidden and promising runway. Renaud prepared his stake. and reached into the grass to place it. Then there came a click, a snap, and the hand came back with the iron jaws bitten deep into the wrist. Xow, the injury itself was but one ,ef the usual accidents nf our business. The trap was light. I easily removed it. and. after he had bathed his wound with liniment. Renaud thought in. more of the matter. Next morning, however, the wrist was badly inflamed, and by night the arm had swollen to such a size that Renaud was unable to sleep. By the following morning the trouble had declared itself, and be. raved and fought in delirium of fever. That some pens- on iif rust or long-decayed bait had entered his blood was only too apparent. That T must act at once if I would save him was more apparent still. . , . It was bard to tie him, yet it was the only way, and so, having bound him securely, 1 placed him in our pirogue and pushed off from our camp. At thc bayou I paused for a moment that 1 might decide my course. To go downstream and around the bay to Ause Le Vert was long, but there was the certainty of a doctor at the end. Up-stream lay the city of Abbeville, but that was still farther. What lay in between I did not know. my fields ware well-nigh exchanged for a lake. They riddle the fores! -���' ihat it Io.,kid like a honeycomb. As fur the farm, I would ii"t allow it t" be touched, since it ba- come down from before the pirate's time.

"Enough and to spare, since' then i- only inv .laughter and myself," hi' agreed. "The trouble is that it is here, it is mine, and I cannot have it Il is like raising a tree, thc fruit of I which you are unable tei pluck. It1 wa- my father's chief legacy, ami it is my duty lo >ec that it- realisation is passed "ii t" my line. I cannot, die content until this is done. Sow, perhaps, if 1 >tart till over again in a systematic manner " And thus he went nn. advancing new theories, planning fresh searches, until thc physician arrived. With the physician's report 1 cnuld nut but be content. Thanks to my acting quickly, 1 hail brought Renaud in time, said the ehee-teir. The | poison had gained but a -light hold se far. and would readily yield t����� 1 treatment. A week, twu weeks perhaps, and my partner would be well again. As fm- friendly M'sieu Antoine, he seemed almost as pleased as myself at this news, assuring mc that I might return to my work without fear. as. until all was as it should be. Renaud must remain Ins guest.

It Should he a place where people may converse without interruption from the children. "Xo matter how large your drawing room may he, keep it intimate in spirit. There should he a dozen conversation centres in a large room. There should he one or more sofas, with comfortable chairs pulled up beside them. No one chair should he' isolated, for some bashful person who doesn't talk well anyway is sure j lo take the most remote chair and make herself miserable. "Your living room should grow out of the needs of your daily life. There could he no two living rooms exactly alike in scheme if they were lived in. You will have to decide on the wall colors and such tilings, it is true, hut the rest of the roeun slinuld grow of itself. You will not make the mistake of using a paper of heavy figures if you are going to use many pictures and hooks, for instance. You will know without being told that your wall colors must he neutral; that your woodwork must hc stained and waxed, or painted some soft tone of your wall color. The room will gradually lend itself, though it may take years and heartache and a certain self-confession of inadequacy, It will express your life, if you use it, so bc careful of the life you live in it! * * =k Winter Pillows Xo longer arc women in search of cool designs in pillows for tlie porch. It is the cozy, warni-appear- mg pillows for the window seat and inglcnook that now concern feminine heads and workbags, says the Philadelphia North American. The colors must bc warm, either in the background or the embroidery. There are, of course, thc conventional designs, which can be worked in any color that one prefers and so it is that women concern themselves more with a choice of floral designs. Shall the list be headed with red roses? Surely nothing could be warmer, but they arc beautiful only when used with discretion, like all Haunting decorations. Poppies are appropriately used on winter pillows. Poin- settias arc easily worked and are effective. Then there are holly and mountain ash. Fuschias, too, make a graceful decoration. Instead of having the pillows covered with pale tans and greens, as were the summer pillows, select rich warm browns, with only an occasional green one among them. Yellow sunflowers on dark brown are warm ami bright. Nasturtiums will give one a chalice to work in warm yellow and orange. Cut work is effectively used in pillows. A dark brown pillow top ornamented with cut weirk is very beautiful when orange silk is placed under the cut-out de'sign. * * v Wedding Ring Customs Although llie ciisteun nf being married with a ring is an ancient one it is by no means compulsory. The Quakers ami Swiss Protestants never use rings at their marriage ceremonies. In Germany and some other countries it is customary for bride and bridegroom tn exchange wedding rings, and tlie same practice is occasionally carried eeut by Anglo-Saxons. In Greece the ceremony of betrothal is as important as that of marriage and is conducted by a priest. Two rings are used nn the former occasion, one being eef silver and the other of gold. Both are consecrated on the altar, after which the gold ring is placed upon the man's linger and the silver one upon thc woman's. But after the wedding service the best man reverses them. In St. Kilda wedding rings are made of worsted. Most of the women of the Upper Bayanzl, on the Congo, wear wedding rings of brass around their necks. Tho wealthier the husband the heavier is the wife's ring, and in some cases it weighs as much as twenty-live or thirty pounds. Hebrews in the past used some of the most wonderful wedding rings ever made, but plain rings are now generally worn by the married women of that race. According to their law it is necessary that the ring be of a certain value, and therefore it has to bc examined and valued by the rabbi anil other officers of the synagogue. On no account may it hc a gift or obtained on credit. ef * IT- About the Tango The man who claims the distinction of having introduced the Turkey Trot into America is in Toronto��� ien his way back to New York. Hc is Mr. Fred Le Croix, famous dancing teacher and actor. Mr. Le Croix says that Canadians arc behind the times when it comes to dancing, but seems to think there is hope of their further education along the line, since thc various forms of the Tango, one-step and so forth arc gradually becoming popular. "The people of Canada have had (he impression that these dances were vulgar." ihi- authority continued, "but allow mc to say that nothing could be more beautiful than the Tango if properly danced. Indeed, the <>l��l- time waltz lee.ek- bid unless danced properly.'1 "But, as taught leeelay by leading dancing teachers, the Tango is quite too difficult and there is a reason for this. I have never in my life' seen a dancing floor Sufficiently large1 tee allow tWO COUpleS tei dance lhe Tangii. in snnie ei( its forms. Another ihing iee take intei consideration is that there arc so many forms nf Ihe Tango taught that when a gentleman asks a lady to dance the lirsl question is necessarily. "Whal form nf TangO dn ynu dance?" and the chances arc ninety-nine In a hundred that the two do not dance lh'- same form. "The Tango as taught today may be alrighl iu llie stage, but in a crowded hall���excuse me!" Mr. I.e Croix went mi. But I know of some feirms of Tango not being taught I which might well bc danced on a I floor. In an article recently published in a Toronto paper it was stated j thai dipping will oc abandoned. I | cannot say that 1 agree witli the writer, feir I think there is nothing ] more beautiful than senile dances wiih dipping, if properly danced, and from my stage experience 1 know that people have enjoyed the dipping feirm nf dance very much and 1 will never cut it nut. "If thc Tangn is not properly danced it is because the majority of people prefer the other way, and not because it cannol bc danced properly." * * Reform of Marriage Laws A new marriage bill, placing Women on an equality witn men, has been prepared by tne United Parliamentary Committees of Sweden, .Norway, and Denmark, and will uc introduced in each oi the three Parliaments. Tlie consent ot buth parents will bc required under its provisions tor the marriage ot minors, and the lowest age at which a woman may marry is lixed at eighteen. in England, comments "Votes for Women, where the married mother is not the legal parent during her husband s lifetime, the father s consent only is necessary tor the marriage ot a minor; while the marriageable age ot a girl is legally lixed at twelve! * * * Lamp Bowls When tempted to purchase an attractive and artistic pottery jar, in which to set thc tout or tank of a lamp, make thoroughly certain that the inside, at least, is well glazed. If this be impracticable, thc inside of the bowl should be given several coats of heavy varnish or other filler, belore the lamp is set in it and used. .No amount ot care will prevent the head of a lighted lamp from drawing up oil and letting it "creep" on the outer surface of the font; and very little seepage eif kerosene, througii one's charming unglozed pottery jar, will ruin it entirely, so far as beauty is concerned. DAYLIGHT SAVING Major Hart-McHarg Seeks Support ot South Vancouver Boaro of Trade in Saving Daylight for the People of Britisn Columbia _ Major Hart-McHarg in seeking the South Vancouver Hoard of Trade's cndorsalion of the Daylight Saving Hill at last Friday's meeting, gave se.inc interesting information as to the countries which favor the proposal. Major Mcllarg staled that the subject had been a live one feir many years in England but had never crystallised into concrete form. Throughout the- British Umpire the question had been discussed and considered and in Seeuth Africa a law had bean enacted putting ihe clucks back half an hour. lie stated that there was really 110 Correct time and our stand- aid lime was unly correct at the 121) meridian where it was established. West ami Bast of that line it was eiiher ahead or behind according tei the distance from the meridian centre. There arc as many hours of daylight before as after 12 noon, but our habits are such lhat we do not use it all to advantage as under the present system we sleep away three of thc finest daylight hours in the summer months with the result that after noon our hours of daylight arc curtailed. Ile enumerated the various influential bodies in Great Britain and in either parts of thc Empire which had supported thc proposed change. The Canadian Federal Bill had been favorably reported upon as also thc proposed bills of Australia and New- Zealand. He thought it best, however, to have a hill passed by British Columbia specifically for the Province, eiwing to thc fact that our time is changed at Field, thc eastern border of the Province, and that there were no other changes as is necessary in some of thc other provinces. The proposed change was not as drastic as some thought and thc only apparent effect would be that an extra hour of daylight per day would bc secured which would mean in a year the saving of 100 hours or 21 holidays of 9 hours each. Major Hart-McHarg said that the British House of Commons had passed the measure by a majority of sixty-three, but on its being referred In a committee it had been rejected hy a majority of one. The measure was beneficial to health and morals. It was necessary, however, that the adoption should he througii legislation, which would approve of thc standard time being advanced one hour from the first Sunday in April to the third Sunday in October. What was wanted was to get daylight for use, instead of sleeping it away in thc morning.

The burglar was small of stature but dark complexioned and took desperate chances to secure a couple of packets of cigarettes from fsaac Joseph's grocery store on Main St. In this daring act he was captured l>y a constable at the point of a re- v. ilver. It is supposed that two other bur glaries discovered about the same time were committed by thc same man. From one shop, the British Dry Goods Store, Main Street, two suits of clothes had been abstracted, both of which, the weather being cold, the alleged burglar appears to have been wearing when arrested. In the other case, the Liberal Club headquarters had been entered and 121 cent stamps purloined from the secretary's desk. The stamps were also feuind on Carter's person, along with a dangerous looking steel jimmy. Thc alleged burglar was brought before Magistrate Johnson ou Tuesday morning and remanded until Monday next. be found will appear, in addition to the regular advertised attractions.

These advantages which every district is anxious to obtain can only bc secured by the exercise of foresight and combined action of ratepayers and representatives. There is now to my mind one of thc most important questions before South Vancouver that has ever arisen, and I am surprised to find little or no action being taken in the matter, and that is the question of securing direct connection and passenger facilities ou thc proposed C. N. R.. which it is understood is coming to Burnaby on the Xorth Arm on its line of entry to False Creek. South Vancouver has population sufficient to warrant thc Provincial Government insisting mi the C. N. R. coming a little further and taking in South Vancouver, more especially as the government is giving certain assistence tn this railway, for which we arc responsible to the extent of our proportion1 of same.

The estimate has been made by a well-known geilf specialist, who after a careful census has placed the number of players in the Country at roughly, 250,000. Three-quarters of :i million players pay on an average $25 a vear each in cluh subscriptions e.r a total of $6.250.0011, which added to $625,000 for green fees, $6,500,00 for golf halls. $625,000 tor clubs and the amount which it is calculated the caddies collect, makes the total mentioned.

November 17, 1913, South Vancouver To the Editor of the "Chinook" : Sir,���I am informed that I have been named in your columns as a probable candidate for the reeveship in South Vancouver. In justice to friends who have thought of supporting me and in fairness also to other gentlemen who may think of coming forward 1 wish to say that I am not, and will not, be a candidate for the reeveship or any other office in South Vancouver at this time. My reasons for declining are so many and so strong that they will,"] ur ills and discontents are time, pa- Ltience, and economy. \ 1 know that time, patience and economy are not popular remedies. i I know, therefore, that the only administration that 1 could stand feer would not bc popular. These are some of my reasons; are they not enough? Here are others of a personal nature : 1 have no ambition to he in public life. I have no aptitude for. and lake nee pleasure in handling public business. I have troubles enough of my own. I have no time tor endless talking and jawing. I have no money to spend in getting elected to a position 1 do not want. ��� I cannot afford to work for twenty- live dollars a month and board at home. (I might have waived this COUNCILLOR WILBERS ON "PUBLIC UTILITIES" (Comlnned from 1'age 1) is entering on a period of unparalcl- leel activity, but we have earned immunity from the unwarrantable condemnation with which some irre- iponsible pee>ple assail us. It is our aim to secure those public utilities that will prove of immediate and lasting benefit to the community. It is our desire to leave to posterity an inheritance of assets that will enable] them justly to recall our memory with some degree of pride and respect. In conclusion, I would say that the people themselves must be wise in a civic sense. As William Johnson Fox said, "A wise, a just, a truthful, a vigorous management will only exist where there is an honest, generous, intelligent, faithful and beneficicnt population."
