TJ^piv* CHINOOK Vol. II, No. 47 SOUTH VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1914 Price 5 cenls Board of Trade for 1914 Clears Decks for Business Snapshots of South Vancouver IN AND OUT OF FOCUS Live Committees have been Appointed and Prospects are good for Records of another Year of Results Ninth Vancouver Board of Trade swung in lini-' f",r the yeiu'- wnrk at the- meeting Monday night when many items uf interest to the municipality's ���welfare were taken up and the committees for tlie- year were struck. Mr. J;. I.. Elliott's warning : "The Vancouver city council in barring South Vancouver workmen from municipal undertakings is directly inviting the creation of slums ant] the lowering of health conditions. Over the week-end, the large number of furniture' vans can) ing the household goods of local workmen to Vancouver Das been universally noted, while eiwiu-rs of promise! for rent within the city have remarked at the demand for them. Our workmen must have! we.rk. and if tliey have i., move to the J city to get it, they move. "This is directly the reverse of what I it should be. Workmen come out | into South Vancouver and build' home! because they can live cheaper here. They lead healthy lives. The resolution of the city council will only lead tu a must deplorable congestion of population." Thus ipoUe Mr. I'. E. Elliott at the meeting, and at his instigatinn the board appointed a committee, of which AV. J. Allan. .1. C. Wright and R. C. Hodgson are members, tu confer with tin- South Vancouver council regarding the matter. The idea was that tlu local council sheeiild con fer with tjve city council in an effort to have affairs changed. The argument was advanced by Mr. Elbe'it that it was unjust to draw a distinction between South Vancouver and Vancouver worknien, because the "business of the whole Burrard peninsula was centred in Vancuuver, and if goods consumed in South Vancuuver were nut purchased retail there, as they were in large quantities, then wholesale they were. The meeting was nf an informal ���nature. The council brought In a committee slate and recommentation! dealing with other matters. Regarding the appointment of delegates to w.-.rk with tbe Fraser Street Improvement Association in getting a permanent bridge across the North Arm, Secretary Kenneth Lamond was instructed tn inform the association that the board was in sympathy with the movement, but was deferring the matter of delegates to the next regular meeting. The clearing of all vacant lots in the municipality was a subject brought up. but it was decided tn lay it over ���[lending receipt nf information regarding recent legislation. An enquiry concerning tbe opening for boat works on the Fraser North Arm was referred to the industrial committee. The finance and advertising committee was asked tn courier the advisability of issuing a booklet letting forth the hi,tory and growth rn" the board of trade, together with statistic- recording the progress of the municipality.

One of those was Mr. II. li. A. Vogel, well known resilient ni Snuth Vancuuver. Secretary of the Xnrth Fraser Harbnr Commission, Mr. Vogel, before coming to Vancouver, lived for many years in Honolulu, and while there it was bis great privilege tei meet the Stevensmis for the first time. Mr. Vogel was engaged in the mercantile business at the lime, connected with a house rif international mite, one of the large branches of which was in Honolulu, He relates ihat during Stevenson's stay in Honolulu the great literary man became interested in the ^ work- being done in a leper colony in the Islands by a Roman Catholic sisterhood. Su impressed was Stevenson with the great lelf-sacrifice of the sisters, that he resolved to do lome little act of kindness in their behalf. He therefore approached Mr. Vogel, swore him to secrecy, and instructed him to send to a celebrated German piano manufacturing concern fur the belt instrument the factory cnuld produce. Mr. Vogel took Stevenson's order and cheque and the instrument in due time was received iu Honolulu, and wa- forwarded to the sisters at the leper colony, liy the time of the arrival of the piano, Stcvensun had left Honolulu. The piano until this day is in use at the leper colony.

Millar, want Bodwell Road paved from Main to Fraser Street. * + ef Here is an absulutely new idea. When it is put inte. effect remember that the "Chinook" is tlle mother of it : The name. Main Street, is not a sufficiently dignified name for a thoroughfare so outstanding in the commercial geography of Greater Vancouver. They have a Main Sireet in Smithers, Port Fraser, and every towniito in Weitern Canada and in practically every town, village anil cily iu lhe entire l'nited Stale-. Main Street i- a constitutional disorder, chronic and like the whooping Cough t'i the extent that il crop- up during tin- childhood stage. We hate a beautiful and substantial thoroughfare between Vancouver and New Weitminiter, bisecting Seeuth Vancouver and Burnaby, by name. Kingsway. ; With the permanent pavin" of Main Street We'll have another splendid highroad from the City Hall, Vancouver, through Ihe entire length ol" South Vancouver, to the River Road, I which leads again into New Westminister, crossing Burnaby. This new mute will bc the favorite with both business anel pleasure traffic. It is rich in scenic beauties, will be convenient and attractive in many respect! for all manner of traffic. Let us call this new thoroughfare. Queens way. Let us consolidate Main Street. River Road. Riverway and lengths of this highway which pass under either names intn one splendid and beautiful Queens way. During the week there was much ehiiiig in Liberal circles in Snuth Vancouver. At Victoria Road a new Liberal Association was organized: at the Main Street Club. Tuesday wal given over to a concert; at the South Hill Club, a grand inaugural concert was held, and a central organization for South Vancouver municipality was perfected at a convention held Monday evening at the corner of Thirty-fifth Avenue and Victoria Road. At the convention held at Victoria Road there was a good turn-out of Liberals from every quarter of thc municipality. Collingwood was particularly well represented, a full representation of nine delegates being present. A constitution for the central executive was drawn up and the following officer! were elected : Lfonorary presidents. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. II. C. Brewster, the Provincial Liberal leader; Honorary vice-president. Mr. John Oliver; President, Mr. !���*. VV, Cleveland; Vice-president. Mr. Donald liurgess; Secretary. M. A. Chamberlain. Mr. G. G, McGeer presided at the meeting and a constitution was drafted setting forth thc alms and objects and limitations of thc new body. Representatives from all Liberal Associations ill thc municipality will make up the executive board and the nr- anization will be used to promote the interests of Liberalism in the district to work harmoniously at all times with the Liberal party in British Columbia. At the Main Street Club Tuesday night. Mine host, S. F. Henderson, had an exceptionally good turn-out if members. The hall was fairly .rowded when Messrs. J. H. Scnkler and Charles Macdonald, two well- known Liberals frum Vancouvei-. and scarred veterans at that, arrived. Mr. Scnkler. win, was the candidate iu the last Dominion election, dealt with the Liberal policy of freer trade. He was of the opinion that the merits nf reciprocity with the United States had been absolutely lost sight of in the last campaign. The election was ��� me of passion and prejudice, in declared. Mr. Scnkler was ready, he staieel. for lhe tight again, if his services were ever demanded, because in his belief fighting for the principles of Liberalism was as noble wnrk as la man could engage himself in. Mr. Macdonald blended humor in Iwith his attack on the Provincial authorities for the method in which Ithey have been managing the affairs of the people if Briti!n Columbia. He ! slated that the present hard times ! among the working people of Greater Vancouver could be directly trac- | ed to the doors nf thc Provincial l Legislative Buildings Years, he stated, of legislation for vested interests���for the railroads and the 'mighty corporations���could not be 'to the ultimate welfare of the working man. Mr. Minthen rendered several solos in splendid style and was repeatedly encored. Thc South Hill Liberal Association opened their new club rooms at 6182 Fraser Street Friday evening with a high class concert. Mr. Kenneth Gross occupied the chair, and among the artists who appeared were the following: Mrs. J. D Reid, soprano: Mrs. Fleming, soprano; Miss E. Beswick and Miss Mabel Kay. dttettists: Mr. Ben Bracewell. tenor; Mr. Harry Sicklemore. baritone; Mr. A. B. Cornish, monologist; Mr. C. S. Thomson, humorist: Miss Eva Kay. pianist; Mr. Bursill and "friends from Collingwood." Comptroller of Burnaby Resigns��� Is He Slated for South Vancouver? Persistent Rumors to the Effect that Local Council Want Services of Civic Expert Griffith Considerable interest has been aroused over the resignation thc other day of Mr. William Griffith. Comptroller to the Municipality uf Burnaby. It had been rumored that the services of Mr. Griffith were beiiv sought by the council of South Vancuuver. The Burnaby man is regarded as an expert in the work of civic government and it is stated that it was largely eiwing to the ability of Mr. Griffith for organizing that the municipal hall staff at Edmonds has been kept up to a high point of efficiency at a comparatively low coit pf maintenance. Thursday's "Sun" had the following Item touching up->n Mr. Griffith's resignation: "Mr. William Griffith. municipal comptroller of Burnaby, has handed in his resignation to the council. Nee deiinite date has been set for his resignation to take effect, but it will probably be in about two weeks Mr. Griffith will open up a business in New Westminster as a chartered secretary and auditor. He has been in thc employ of the municipality for thc last three years and has made many friends in Burnaby." Mr. Griffith left the service of the municipality absolutely voluntarily, it is asserted, and in the face of considerable protest from the council. It is known that the South Vancouver council have heen endeavoring to lt>- c.ite a man of his abilities for a posi- ti.en at the Municipal Hall, the creating of which may materially change the present organization. Cedar Cottage Jottings Miss Carrie Pollard, a former Cedar Ceittage girl, was married on Wednesday last at the home of her nn ither at Langley Prairie, to Mr. George Mathison, also of Langley Prairie. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Wilson in thc presence of a large number of guests���many nf them frnin Cedar Cottage. The bride. who was attired in soft cream char- meuse and shadow lace, was given away by her brother, Mr. Fred Pollard, while Miss Edith Porter acted as bridesmaid, the groom being supported by Mr. John Bertram After a delightful wedding repast the happy- couple departed for a tour of the Ceiast cities, and upon their return will reside at Langley Prairie. In St. Columbia Presbyterian Chinch, .ni the evening of March 25, under the auspices of lhe Cedar Ceittage Political Equality League, a most interesting public meeting was held, the principal speakers being Mrs. Ralph Smith and Mr. Cowper of the "Province" editorial staff. Mr. Sam Jackson acted as chairman, and there were artists of merit on the well arranged musical program. Mr. Jackson maele a very able chairman, expressing himself as being iu entire sympathy with the object of the league, and predicting inevitable success. Mr, Jackson gave it as bis opinion that the spirit which opposed the enfranchisement of women on the same terms as men was the same spirit which had in days gone by opposed the locomotive and clung to the old stage coach���the same spirit which steadfastly opposed all progress. Mr. Cowper. who is a brilliant and forceful speaker, held the close attention of thc audience, while in a general wav hc dealt with the arguments offered'bv the anti-suffragists as to why women should not have the vote ���"flimsy arguments'' he termed them ���He spoke of tbe eternal quest for some really sensible valid argument against equal suffrage and thc inability to discover one impregnable unanswerable reason against this world- Side movement. Even though women wcre the fools some would have us believe, he quoted Mrs. Poyser as autheiritv that "God made 'em to match the men." Men did not always use the ballot wisely and the fact that women might not do so was not a valid argument against the cause. Mr. Cowper read and criticised in an amusing and satirical manner a lengthy letter containing alleged unanswerable arguments against equal suffrage, written by Lady Glasgow, wife of a former GoverttOT-General of New- Zealand, and printed in lhe London "Times." anel made il char linn the gnod lady's arguments and assertions, though doubtless sincere, were unsubstantial and self contradictory���her letter being full of glaring anomalies. ���Lady Glasgow asserted that the women did not want the vote and we mid not use it if they had it, yet in the same paragraph she goes em tei say that if Ihey were given the ballot so many women Would vote they would have the Government of the day at their mercy and would probably have the whole country involved in war. Mrs. Ralph Smith was her usual interesting and witty self and made an excellent address on the laws of Pi. C. insofar as they concern women and children���laws "quaint and peculiar" to quote Mr. Cowper. If there were any present in doubt as to whether or not the women of B. C. needed the vote, they were doubtless billy convinced of the importance and urgency of the equal suffrage question, especially in British Columbia. The regular meeting of the Ladies' Guild of St. Margaret's parish met on Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Palmer on 21st Avenue, when considerable routine business was transacted, and a number of plans for new work discussed.

Abernethy, Chairman of North Frater Harbor Board, Announced that Work on Main Jetty of North Arm a* Proposed in Original Outline Would Soon be Under Way--- Delay in Granting Appropriation. Chairman Abernethy of the North Fraser Harbnr Hoard reported to a representative of this paper that tlie work on the jetty al lhe mouth of the North Arm of the Fraser River would he started in the very near future and be carried on by thc Public Works department with the Commissioners, through their engineers, acting as an advisory board. The tenders for this work were called last fall but for some reason or another were not considered and the forfeit checks returned to the tenderers. Fresh tenders for thc works will bc advertised for and proving satisfactory, the work will be continued this spring. In referring to thc rumor circulated some time ago that the Harbor Commissioners intended cutting across the end of Sea Island to the midille arm Mr. Abernethy said there was nothing in the rumor at all. While eene could never tell just what the ultimate work of the commission would embrace, yet the first wnrk would be the North Arm of the Fraser. Point Grey, he stated had agreed to pay their share of the money asked feer by the Board I" carry een the preliminary work necessary to submit iee the government. The municipali- lies of S'eiith Vancouver and Rich. nueiid were yet to be heard from and Hurnaby to be interviewed. The ready support oi these municipalities would do much to hurry the work contemplated, as the delay made for holding up ihe permanent work which [he Commissioners intended applying feer and which ceiuld only be consented to by the government on it being put up tee them in a most complete and comprehensive manner. The commissioners readily understood the position the municipalities were in regarding the shortage of the supply of money, but thc fact that big development work was contemplated on the North Arm would have a very beneficial effect in inducing industries to start. In this way the prospects of an increased number of industries, which would mean an increase in thc pay roll distribution, should be a factor worthy of consideration and one which should influence the municipalities to speedy action, regarding the grant tee the North Fraser Harbor board. Industries are Coming to Banks of North Fraser Harbor Equipment Now Installed in Capacious Premises Which Have Largest Floor Space of a Similar Industry on Continent ���Patterns and Castings for Safes of Standard Size Are Already Prepared���Plant Occupies Six Acres That the North Arm of the Fraser River is the logical point for the location of industries is being more and more recognized every day. \\ ith the improvement of the river at the hands of the North Fraser Harbor Commission, this fact will be more forcibly driven into the minds of manufacturers���both Eastern men and those who already have factories in Greater Vancouver. "The space our plant at present occupies," said a large manufacurer of sewer piping and other materials of that character, to a representative of the "Chinook" some days ago, "fronts on False Creek. Its valuation is $1,000 per foot at present* That property is too expensive for our needs." Asked where, in his opinion, there was a better and cheaper site for his industry in British Columbia, this manufacturer stated : "Over there with you people in South Vancouver. The North Arm of thc Fraser is the logical spot for our factory." Whether this concern already has a site on the North Arm is difficult to say. Possibly the manager is at present looking for a location. The Dominion Safe Works Limited, have started actual work at their plant at Bridgeport, Lulu Island, on the North Arm afer a delay of over a year. The building, which is the largest under one roof on the American' continent, used for the manufacture of safes was started early in January of last year. Six acres of land was secured by the company from R. D. Rorison and Son, alongside the Lulu Island branch of the B.C. Electric Railway and quite close to the main road to Vancouver. The building which are of frame construction covered with metal sheeting have a floor space of 41,700 square feet and are divided into a number of departments. Thc company have already installed the most of the machinery needed for tlle manufacture of their product and' are sufficiently advanced so that they are carrying on their own machine work necessary in installation of the balance of the machinery, all of which is either in the plant or on the way. Patterns for a number of the standard sizes of safes were made last year and' a stock of castings, made in British Columbia, have already been stocked and are at present being machined in the newly equipped plant. All machinery in the plant is operated by electricity. In the emery room, the machines are already in place. Drills, lathes and other equipment are also in place and hooked up so that they can be operated at will. A paint shop and carpenter shop which includes its own saws and planers is another department which is ready for use. Mr. R. D. Rorison, the president, stated that the company had already secured a number of contracts and had others pending. In connection with the manufacture of the ordinary fire and burglar proof safes, the Dominion Safe Works will manufacture vaults, vault doors and safety deposit boxes as well as turned steel work. Thc entire work to date has been under- Ike-- direct supervision of Mr. Gef. J. H. Goeghlcr, a pioneer in the manufacture of safes and vaults. * The company is owned by local Aiel from Ebume and Vancouver and sheiuld receive as much support locally is it is possible to.give them. == TRACES ORIGIN OF THE DOLLAR MARK Research Follow! American Name Back to Dutch Thaler! VANCOUVER SALESROOMS CARRALL & HASTINGS STS. 1138 GRANVILLE ST. near Davie The word dollar is thc English form of thc German word thaler The origin eif the thaler is as follow! : In the year 1519 Count Schlick. eef Bohemia, issued silver ceiins weighing one ounce each and worth 113 cents. They were coined at Joachi- mistal, that is James valley ejr dale, in Bohemia; hence, they became known as Joachimstalers, soon shortened into thalers. On each coin was the figure of St. James. Through trade with the Dutch these coins came into England in the sixteenth century and are referred to sometimes as "dealers." The word dtdlar is found in Shakespeare's "Macbeth." Act 1, scene 2. Sweno, the Norway's king, crapes composition; Nor would we deign him burial eef his men. Till he disbursed, at St. Colme's Inch. Ten thousand dollars to our general use. But thc dollar came to the American continent not through the Dutch or English, but through the Spanish. This was due to the extent of the seventeenth centuries and also to the great quantities of silver which Spain drew from her mines in Mexico and South America. Tlle Spanish coin was strictly speaking, a peso, better known as a piece of eight, because it was equal to eight reals (royals). As it was of the same value, thc name dollar was given to the piece of eight about the year 1690. The most famous Spanish dollar was known as the pillar dollar, because it had on one side two pillars, representing the pillars of Hercules, = the.' classical name for flic Straits of Gibraltar. It had also the motto "plus ultra." The old form of this was "ne plus ultra," but owing tei Columbus' disiovery of America, this had to bc changed. This dollar was known as the cannon dollar by the Moors, who mistook the pillars for cannon. It is thought by some that the two pillars in this dollar are the origin of the upright lines in Ihe dollar mark. Other suggestions are that the mark represents F. S.���that is the Spanish peso, or possibly U. S. combined. Must probably, however, it represents the sign of the Roman unit of money, tlie sestertius The sign was "H. S." and meant two and a half, because a sestertius was equal to 2'/2 asses; the "as" being another Roman coin. The Spanish dollar was current for a time even in Australia; it was common in America at the time of the war of independence. Champion Eaters The other day J. T. Harris, of Boulder. Col., trieil to win a $10 wagon by devouring a dinner that had been prepared for a family of 12. He is reported to have attacked at table a 15-pound turkey with oyster dressing, three loaves of bread, six sweet potatoes, two bunches of celery, four dishes of cranberry sauce, one glass of mint jelly, six bananas with cream, one pound of butter, one order of squash, two mince pies, and two dishes of plum pudding with brandy sauce and six cups of coffee. Hc had reached the mince pie stage when he fell to the floor unconscious. There are eating clubs in New York where the champion feeders are those who can put away beefsteak by the pound.

ITS SANITARY QUALITIES���Creosote being a highly antiseptic and waterproofing material instantly destroys all germs, prevents the absorption of street filth and consequent decay. ITS NOISELESSNESS���The rattle and bang of vehicles passing over its smooth surface absorbed and muffled till the quiet of the dirt road is obtained. ITS DUSTLESSNESS���Does not pulverize; the heaviest traffic only pounding down the wood fibres to offer the greater resistance. ITS CLEANLINESS���Having a smooth surface and being waterproof it does not differ in this respect from asphalt. We manufacture blocks of the highest possible standard, the verv best materials only being used and in the DOMINION WOOD BLOCKS we believe we produce an article that has no equal.

The Main Street Paving Question It is now over a fortnight since the niajority of the council decided that it was best in tlie- interests of the municipality that they should go ahead with the contract. Since the council took up this stand quite a lot of people have changed their mind een the advisability of proceeding with the work. Their main objection, of course, was thc fact that the contract had neit been open to tender. That fact allowed tlie- opposition who were against the paving no end of rope in their arguments against tlie paving and of course innuendo! alleging (frail were eagerly snatclieel up. The present council have now been three months on the job and it is lieing reasoned by the people that if the allegations were true enough time had elapsed i" which t..i bring forward proof of any wrong doing. That liar. not been done and the people are commencing tei think that after all perhaps this is not such an "iniquitous" contract as they were lead to believe. Intei that phase of the question however, wc do not intend to go any further. Our position is that the work is necessary, if feir no other reason than that it will provide work for a battalion of men who otherwise would have to go without. With the lumber industry in such ent organization were received and read. As there were organizations enough with sufficient voting strength that signified a readiness to affiliate and g., ahead with tlle work, it was decided to call another meeting for Monday night. April 6th, in Labor Temple. At this session a fixed com- mittee will be duly organized : (1) composed ot representatives of national, international or local trades Unions, of any other wejrking class party e,r association, who may be deemed worthy of affiliation. (2) The electoral committee will be constituted, composed of two members from each union for each 100 members or less, anel nnc for each additional 100 members eer niajejr fraction thereof, up t'i live members. (3) The executive committee will ce>mprise not more than seven members chosen from the electoral committee. A lengthy statement of the aims anil objects of thc league was given by J.

The Co-operative Store Among the many old country men ami women who go to make up the population of Vancouver the question has often been asked why some big property owners making a kick ���but why sheeiilil the worker concern himself about that. These men benight their real estate at bottom price and since then, through the medium of the worker coining in and I settling, its value has increased to ��� three and four hundred per cent, more I than they paid feir it. They do not want any more taxa- [ tieeii during this time when their j property is not producing any revenue eer when they cannot sell it at their | own extortionate price. Therefore they are against anything which will : mean an addition on their tax bill. They are the men that howl and i the pity is that thc workers too often i Kit led by the nose by that gang.

FOUR GREATER VANCOUVER CHINOOK SATURDAY, APRIL 4. 1914 THE CRY FOR FOOD AFTER having spent many hundreds of dollars and many months of roughing it in the bush, three Vancouver ladies, sisters, located on adjoining claims in the Lillooet \ alley. They performed all the duties laid down by the Lands Department at Victoria and enthused with the belief that each was a landed proprietor, these girls, with the stout hearts of pioneers, set to work to have their properties cleared, for the land laid well, was well watered and in every respect good fanning land. The work of clearing proceeded and in the staking, purchase.price and development of the property, the young women spent together with all their saving, moneys loaned them by their widowed mother. But was it not worth while? Were they not to have each a farm of H>0 acres?. To this property they could move from the stuffy cily flat and from the high cost of living. Here thev could keep cows and horses and sheep and pigs and with careful management in a few years would be independent. In the midst of all the planning and day-dreaming came a thunderbolt in the way of a letter from Hon. Mr. Bowser, stating that the land in block so and so, range so and so, which had been taken up by the three ladies, had been previously staked. The ladies would therefore vacate forthwith and save further trouble on the part of the Government of the Province of British Columbia. Investigation revealed the fact that the property in question was on the right-of- wav of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. It was level land, naturally drained, high and dry. It was needed by the Pacific and Great Eastern Railway for townsite purposes. The Pacific and Great Eastern Railway wanted that land and didn't want to pay for it. So the McBride Government drove the young women who would have cleared and cultivated the property back to their positions in the Vancouver business district. The property in question will be turned into a townsite. Lots in this townsite��� this Smithers, or Bowserville, or Edson, or Port Mann���will in turn be sold to working girls and widows and breadwinners. Lots "ten miles from the station" will be shoved bv fraud down the throats of investors in London or Edinburgh, that is if the railroad townsite grafter as known in British Columbia keeps up his average. The ladies in question have pleaded with the Government for their rights in thc matter, but with no good results. They have spent all their money and have not the funds necessary to employ counsel to take their case into the courts. It is likely that they have broken-hearts as well as broken bank accounts. Facts touching upon this case were obtained from two members of the council of South Vancouver who have requested that the names of the young ladies be withheld for the present. It is probable that in the wildest days of the land stampede to Oklahoma there was no instance of claim-jumping which would quite parallel the one referred to. ���,,,,��� Scores of complaints have been made throughout the province of land-stealing on the part of the Government in behalf of party friends. The Lillooet case may be taken as a fair example of what the present administration will do when put to it. And we wonder why the lands of B. C. lie dormant and why workmen of B. C, out of work, have to import their bread and butter, their coal, practically every article of food and of raiment, from California, South America, Great Britain, China, New Zealand and the ends of the earth. ^pysaCHINOOiC F'JBLISHBD ����try UturdeW kaved to the people of South Vancouver���$1,800 which could be devoted to the solving of the many real problems before the council at the present moment. Reeve Dickie and the members of the council were not (low to see that lhe promiscuous advertising of the Municipality's money bylaws iu all city newspapers was an absolute waste of money. Thev decided to cut down the number of city newspapers to one, and to use as well two local publications. Thus, mure than S 1.000 is being saved the district on this one item, and possibly the entire cost might have been further reduced. In older communities situated as South Vancouver is. adjacent to a large city, the local weekly newspaper invariably proves itself a valuable factor in the community, furnishing a low-priced and effective medium for all local advertisers, including indeed the corporation council, and serving the community well along much broader lines. Q BY THE WAY �� MUNICIPAL ADVERTISING THAT the Municipality of South Vancouver has squandered many tens of thousands of dollars in the past in the advertising of the various money bylaws came to light Monday when the question of arranging the statutory advertising of the school bylaws shortly to be put before the people came up for discussion. The Municipal Act clearly states that the municipal money bylaws shall be advertised in at least one recognized newspaper, circulating in the district, for ten days previous to the day of voting. In Municipalities where no daily paper circulates, the letter of the law is carried out by inserting copy of the bylaw in a weekly or semi-weekly publication with- n the district concerned. In South Vancouver, it has been the policy in the past to jam these statutory advertisements into any or all the Vancouver city dailies, ignoring those weekly newspapers published within the district and circulating in the district. Considering that the daily newspaper charge on these legal advertisements is $1.40 per inch per insertion, the cost of advertising South Vancouver's bylaws in the past has run into enormous figures. It was recommended to the council that the bylaws to lie voted upon April 11 be published for len clear days in two Vancouver dailies���and not once in the papers published locally. The approximate cost of publication in either the dailies or weeklies would be $100.00 per insertion. It was recommended, therefore that South Vancouver pay for ten insertions in two city dailies���over $2,000. AMONG THE BALL teams who will doubtless finish in the world's championship series, 1914, is the Chinook outfit. The boys are getting new uniforms next week. �� # ��� THE SOUTH VANCOUVER army of the unemployed was increased just a trifle this week. In the interests of the municipality one more candidate should be elected to this body. One more sacrifice should be offered up on the altar of civic reform. ��� * ���fell IS NOW RUMORED that Councillor Gold will take the bit in his teeth and gallop down the legal highway to charge desperately upon one Percy Algernon I lorace Wood. t 9 ��� "I'LL PUT HIM on the defensive and I'll make him pay damages for bringing about the expense of the Ward Five by-election," is said to have been the councillor's statement in the matter. * * * EX-COUNCILLOR F.

R. Ingram, of the Swift Canadian Packing Company, said the price of beef in Western Canada would be up to a dollar a pound in a few years if ronditions were not changed. Mr. Ingram defended the packers against the charge of responsibility for the high cost of living. Western Canada stood at the top of the list as a meat-eating country and against this stood the fact that Western Canada daily faced an increasing population without an increasing supply of livestock. * �� �� SOME ZEALOUS employee of the municipality has planted two street posts in the Chinese gardens, marking the intersection of Poplar and Kent Streets. These are both "growing" streets.

The costs of that great case, $187.00, it is alleged, were owing by the councillor, not to the municipality, but to the Municipal Solicitor as a private individual.

The Highgraders Corner "Dismissed Hell With Costs" Manchester Guardian It is the fashion of the present century to deride- the Victorian age as dull and self-complacent. But the truth is that, intellectually, the Victorian age was much more intensely alive than the present. And there was plenty of excitement. The theories of Lyell and Darwin revolutionized religious thinking, and the revolution was one that mattered; it was seriously regarded by men oil both sides, and something seemed to be at stake. Still there was some wit expended Upon the situation. One of the best examples of this was the epitaph composed for Lord Westbury, wheir thc Judicial Committee of the Privy Council refused to sustain the judgment of suspension against two of the authors of thc famous "Essays and Reviews." They were clergymen of the Church of England, and Lord Westbury's judgment was that the Thirty-nine Articles do not require belief in eternal punishment. The words of the epitaph were these: "Toward the end of his earthly career he dismissed Hell with costs, and took away from orthodox members of the Church of vigland their last hope of everlasting damnation." # # * A Sarin); fur Ihe Senators London Advertiser In the Senate they will soon take up the divorce cases.

There is no mystery about our business, as all of our goods are marked in plain figures and are the same price to all. We know tbat our competitors do not approve of our business methods, but tbe public do, as our business is increasing every month. Xow, we live up to our advertisement to the letter. We always have the goods in stock that we advertise, and not one of our patrons has ever heard us say tbat we were out of the goods we advertise. W'e carry as large a stock of high grade caskets as will be found in the city, and our prices arc lower than can be obtained from any other Undertaker. The volume of business that we are doing is responsible for our moderate charges.

Thus the Kentuckian is started on a course of adventure which does neet cease until the ghost is laid, the castle's store of hidden treasure revealed, the plotters overthrown, and the "ghost breaker" started back fe.r America with the princess at his side. Like in.idem newspaper stories. "The Ghost Breaker" starts with action. The curtain in raising for the first time shows the hero and heroine of lhe play in a thrilling scene, and from then until the final curtain the audience is treated to a series of thrills and laughs that come in rapid succession. Exactly like the big newspaper Story, the play tells the big news at the start, instead of making the audience wait, and this new method eet treatment perhaps accounts for its tremendout popularity with all classes of playgoert.

Queer Burial Service Strange is the burial service ani"iin the Araman islandets. It is the tus- lom of the islanders to drop Ihe bodies of their parents into the sea at the end of ropes and leave them there until nothing remains but the bones, which they then gather and hang from the routs of iheir huts. It is a common custom for a relative to sit by thc hour and watch the bones of some relative. This is the way they have of showing their love and respect The bodies are treated in this fashion so that the evil spirits cannot tease and pinch them. All that is left arc the dried bones, and these are .placed high so that if the evil spirits 'wander into llie huts tliey will have a hard time U> tind them. If a bone is carried away it means some kad spirit bas seized it. and this means that sonic terrible calamity will befall thc family. In the Katanga district of central Africa when a chief and his wife dies there is great feasting and celebrat- jing. Some of these festivals last three or four days. After thc bodies are laid to rest with dancing and rejoicing because tliey are going to rule over a higher sphere their relatives and friends do not depart until they leave one or more chairs and a supply of clothes. This is done because the souls are expected to come out and wander about Iheir graves. Glazed Cement Sewer Pipe B.C.

Somebody 'en the opposition side j asks how many stamps were sold at Skeesick's Cornjrs P. O. last year, and what is the salary of the plutocrat who occupies tlle position of postmaster and why. The minister blushes for his ignor | ance, whispers to his deputy and that encyclopaedic individual gives the count Ot the stamps and says thc postmaster gets $50 per annum. Op- peesitiiin curiosity is satisfied. Gallery birds lean hack in their seats with a sigh of relief. Those Awful Spoils Sometimes Mr. Opposition Member asks why the postmaster of Spodnuk was dismissed. This time the minister boldly answers himself. "Partis sanship" is the strange and startling wor certain tar sands in Alberta which he thought would he useful in road building "I am not suggesting that the government should go into the building <>f roads with these tar sands," he said, "but there may be some value in these tar sands as a medium for mad making. These tar sands are there, and I think the government should find out if these tar sands lend themselves tei the purposes of road making. The government need not lay roads with these tar sands, but the government should feel that it is under an obligation to the people to do something to find out whether these tar sands have a road making value." The minister accepts. Graham Again Now George P. Graham, of Renfrew South is not like that. He is brilliance, all wit. On the tar sand question he delivers himself thusly: "The government should put footprints on the tar sands of time." Thereupon he gets quite red in the face, coughs, chokes, puts his head down on his arms and works off the fit with his face hidden for a moment, then signals to a boy for water. When he has sufficiently recovered he looks airly at the gallery. Naughty, irrepressible George, to disturb the dignity of parliament in this way. Besides, everybody is so sorry when adjournment comes, because George may have another bon mot still unexpressed. -r ��� ^ I Cigarettes There will be general sympathy with the purpose of Mr. Andrew Broder, M.P., and those who are co-operating with Iii iii in his war on the cigarettes as used by" the foolish boy. We do not need the abundance of medical testmony as to the mischief which this silly practice'works on the health f the victims���it is quite obvious. Every parent in Canada i^ strongly opposed to permitting his son to smoke tobacco in any form until lie reaches an age when it can,,be done without ias:ing harm to his still itn mature body. .��,���,> The especial evil of the cigarette, says an eastern contempsrary, is that it has put smoking within the easy reach of boys. They would not have tried a pipe; and they could not afford cigars. But the suspicious cheapness of the cigarette has made it possible for every errand-boy in the city to keep himself supplied .with "smokes"; and he takes to the practice quite naturally in his eagerness to look like a grown-up young man as soon ac possible. All healthy boys have this desire; and the cigarette has become for them the outward or visible sign of their maturity. The law against the sale of cigarettes to boys under sixteen, should be enforced; and the penalties might well be made so heavy that no merchants would dare risk their application. That is the cure for most crimes of this sort���crimes difficult of detection; punish them, when proven, with the greatest severity. Make the risk the punishment so enormous that no sane man will take it. In Japan, they punish the parents, too. That might well be tried in Canada; for the parents are very largely to blame. The proper parental authority would relieve the state of thc necessity for a lot of this vexatious and often ineffective legislation.���Winnipeg "Tribune."

Ramifications The C. 1'. K. owns or controls 18,- 000 miles of railway. Its own system is comprised of 13,280 miles, and the Minneapolis and Duluth roads account feer some 4,000 miles eef track. It has still aboul 700 miles of spur lines and extensions tei build in the west; but the double tracking will mean a job, totaling over 4.IXKI miles of railway. This as it geet^ on will deplete tlle treasury more eer less;.but freim this great undertaking large things are expected. The double 1 racking of the system will give such reliefs as Heme but a railway man could fully understand. The difference in the mere physical operation of thc trains will be enormous; but the chief consideration is let be in readiness for the vast increase in business which will disclose itself almost immediately. A C. P. R. official being asked what became of all the thousands of immigrants passing over the lines to the west every year, replied : "Lost in the bigness." "But that is not right," he added. "They are far from lost; they are all right; but while we do neit see them they are busy extending the wheat acreage: they are busy feeding Europe; they arc busv making money; they are busy making more business for us with every additional acre they place under cultivation. "And that is something the people do not understand. Because they do not make a bulk, we think that they are of small account in the worlel. "Every year sees thc wheat acreage extending and every extension, though it be only a few thousand acres, makes more business for the company. "In five years from now Canada will he literally the granary of the world according to the prediction of the late Lord Strathcona. It is this that justifies, that demands in fact, the double-tracking of the system, so that it will bc able to handle the enormous increase of business which will develop during the next autumn." red to Jesse as Mate of the New Y "Moon."

We don't care where he spends the money, but when every other ward in the municipality is doing its utmost to ameliorate the conditions of its residents, it certainly appears tee me a flagrant breach of faith to the electors and residents of Ward Three to be treated in this cold blooded manner at such a time. 1 am speaking strongly, Mr. Editor) 'because I feel strongly on this subject, and no amount of excuses can explain away the fact that Councilleir Thomas is not acting the man and --landing by his pledges made when he sought the votes of the people in this always badly represented ward.

If Councillor Thomas cannot find enough work for his tireless energy in his own ward he might propose to the Council his ability to run both wards; and in these days of financial stringency, and consequent enforcement of strict economy in matters civic, a saving of the indemnity of one ward would count for something.

Yours truly, SAM D. CRAIG, 1126 27th Avenue East. South Vancouver. 2056 -l-'ml Av Kditoc ("Chinook" : Sir,���I was greatly interested in the article of last week headed "The Cry for Food." It was evidently from the pen of some one who has in his heart some love for and some care of his fellow man. It is a most astonishing fact that few persons will listen to the pitiful pleading of those who daily are compelled to see their wives in rags and their children unfed. In a great many cases these men, ��� rdinarly good citizens, and prosper- eeus, have been lured to this province, and, once here, have been inveigled into buying a little piece of land��� justi a few feet��� in order that they may save paying rental for shelter. Nothing, I believe, will make a man more desperate, more determined, than tee see his family in need of the i'oniine.n necessities of life. There comes to him a feeling of dumb helplessness that is unexplain.ible. He wants to weerk; is anxious to work; if only a pittance is received as remuneration���anything, to that he can go to his humble abode at the close if the day. bearing something for those whom lie loves. Hut to be forced to return day after day, meeting the mute appeal of his children and the silent, inquiring gaze of his wife, after a time becomes unbearable, and his manhood becoming aroused, he soon decides in his heart to take by force that which he has asked for in meekness and fear. This is a subject that all have talked about, many have written about, and. as your editorial states, "the problem is not a local one, nor purely provincial." It encircles thc globe. Men wonder why this is so. And well they may, for there is every evidence that it will get worse before it will get better. Man cannot give i satisfactory explanation. Hc can only give an opinion, and even that must be revised frequently. I believe in this connection there is a depth of meaning in thc words of the sacred Rook which tells us that at a certain time in the world's history the wealth of thc world will be hoarded by a few. that it will be cankered and rusted; that the hire of thc laborers has been kept back by fraud, and their cries of woe and distress has come to the Lord (James 5V As conditions arc extraordinary, we must look for extraordinary causes. I believe these things are clearly brought to view in God's word. In spite of the fact that man's eternal f Msrch, 1914.

Westminster Church Football Club Westminster Presbyterians suffered their first defeat for five weeks from I'airview nn Saturday at their ground by 2 goals to 1. Xot that the latter team were superior, but they were more aceustomed to the short narrow ground. They started right away and scored their two goals in the first ten minutes of the game. Westminster then warmed lo their work and Stephen scored. In the second half there was only one team in it and that was not Fairview. Westminster played their hardest to draw level and had thc hardest ot luck un several occasions. They also had a penalty hut Stephen who took tlie kick struck the. upright. They retired defeated as above. Westminster who were without three of their regular team never settled down on the short pitch which is only adapted for school boys.

Dickson. McColm. Dakers, Gascoyne, Harper (Capt.). J*. Suttie, Stephen, Smylie, Wilkie. Reserves��� Basiren and McKay.
