In\nevery case it is lack of knowledge or\nexperience that causes the chief waste\nof public money, and no doubt being\nunder obligations to a clique or faction for election support has a good\ndeal to do with it.\nWe have got a number of capable\nmen, of ample means in the Municipality, who would conduct Municipal matters in order and decency, if\nwe could get Uiem into office.\nMy advice to the ratepayers is:\nDon't vote the \"Bunch Ticket,\" weigh\nevery candidate on his individual\nmerits.

The greatest safeguard towards purity in civic government is a liberal and\nunrestrained use of the ballot Apathy and disinterestedness on the part of voters are probably in a greater\nmeasure responsible for undesirable conditions than any\nother feature of civic government. It would bc in the best\ninterests of all were all the candidates to gracefully accept victory and defeat on a poll which left no doubt as\nto the feelings and desires of the electors.\nConsiderable criticism has been aimed at the present\nvoters' list on the ground that many ratepayers deserving\nof the ballot have been deprived of thc privilege of voting. While the present list fulfils all legal requirements\nand was compiled in strict accordance with the Provincial\nact, it is an open question if more latitude should not be\nshown in adding names to the list. In other municipalities\nit is the custom to accept and place on the list names of\napplicants for registration in the registry office. The\nSouth Vancouver list, however, merely embraces the names\nof those whose applications have been registered at thc\nregistry office.\nWhile it is possibly in the best interests to have a voters'\nlist which meets all the demands of the act, still the fact\nthat the registry office is nearly a year behind in its registrations lends itself to many serious objections. If\nthe voters' list in South Vancouver, therefore, is open to\ncriticism, the registry office in Vancouver should share its\nfull portion of the responsibility.\nThe fact should not be overlooked that it is thc duty\nof every man and woman whose name appears on the list\nto exercise their right and privilege of the ballot. Let all\nvoters mark their ballots today.\nPROGRESSIVE BURNABY\nTHROUGHOUT Canada there is not a better governed\nmunicipality than that of the District of Burnaby,\nand the reason is that Burnaby, from its inception, has\nhad at its head real business men who were above applying other than business methods to the handling of the\naffairs of the public.\nRetiring this year from the Burnaby Municipal Coun-\n' cil is Reeve Weart. Probably no other one man has done\nmore for Burnaby than has Mr. Weart in the several\nyears spent by him on the Council Board. Mr. Weart\nis one of the leading citizens of Greater Vancouver, is\nis financier of marked ability, and is a bright light at the\nBritish Columbia bar.\nIn the contest for the Reeveship of Burnaby this year\nis Mr. D. C. MacGregor, a pioneer of the Municipality,\nand one of Vancouver's leading business men, who has\nspent several years on thc Burnaby Council Board. Mr.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD MacGregor has told the Burnaby people that, apart from\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa desire to continue to run Hurnaby along business lines,\nhe has no platform. He believes that in Burnaby or any\nether similar district there are a certain number of departments of the I'll' lie service to be given attention. Mr.\nMscGregor, from a broad experience as a Councillor,\nknows these various departments, and if he handles them\nns well as he does his private business, it will be all right\nwith Burnaby,\nMr. MacGregor is a public man more of the Old Country rather than American type, is dignified, wealthy and\nreliable according to the demands of the best Scottish\nstandards.\nIf hc is elected Reeve of Burnaby and finds that the\ndistrict between South Vancouver and New Westminster\ndocs not continue to lead all British Columbia, as far\nas civic management is concerned, Mr. D. C. MacGregor's\npride will be sorely injured.\nreckless driving, to which many residents along Westminster Road and other main thoroughfares can attest.\nThe question is now an acute one in Vancouver, and nonc-\nhe-less to be guarded against in South Vancouver.\nTHE DIME NOVELS\nTHERE are many novels nowadays, costing more than\na dime, that are pernicious in their effects.\nThe term \"dime novel\" is a convenient, rather than an\naccurate one, for designating a certain class of reading\nmatter that is popular and pernicious.\nNobody nowadays understands the term in its literal\nsense.\nThere are doubtless dime novels that do not poison\nhe minds of their readers, and there arc high-priced novels\nthat are as corrupting as the worst that can be bought for\nten cents.\nThc moral worth of the books is not to be gauged by\nthe price.\nFor all who desire to feed their minds on trash there\nare novels of the lowest grade, obtainable at prices to\nsuit the purse of the reader.\nIf lhe reader is a young person of unformed mind and\nscant means, the dime novel or something cheaper\ncan be had.\nIf the reader has plenty of money, he or she can gratify\nthe lowest literary tastes at higher prices.\nToo many of our people are reading thc rubbish loosely\ndescribed as \"dime novels.\"\nOf those readers not a few are old enough to know\nbetter, and at heart are ashamed of their liking for the stuff.\nIf all who are addicted to the habit would now throw\ntheir stock of dime novels into the fire, and set a firm\nresolution to read no more such debilitating literature, thc\nkeeping of their pledge would prove of great benefit\nto them.\nNumbers of people who nourish their minds on such\ntrash, and expose themselves to no other cultural influ-\nnces, become spoiled in almost every way.\nThey make themselves ridiculous by shaping their behavior and posing after the manner of some of the absurd\nharactcrs they have read about.\nYoung people become time-wasters, and when they ought\nto be thinking about what they arc doing their thoughts\nre far away in that world of unreality into which cheap\nfiction has introduced them.\nCanada has a deluge of this stuff poured into it every\nyear.\nGermany proposes to legislate against the \"dime novel.\"\nIt all depends on what you mean by the dime novel.\nIn these days of cheap books many a masterpiece of\nliterature may be obtained for a dime, while at the same\ntime there is, as already noted, an abundance of trash\nthat commands ten or fifteen times that price.\nIf the idea behind the German legislation could be followed out, many a \"best seller\" would never reach the\npublic, to the public's benefit.\nVAGARIES OF THE SUFFRAGETTE\nIV/lATTHF.W ARNOLD says bis countrymen are very\n*** impervious to ideas because they have always succeeded so well without them. He may have exaggerated\na habit of mind which has given Britain, through habits\nof delay, the benefit of the experience of other nations.\nThe suffragettes, in their freakish departures, their Window-smashing, letter-destroying, and wire-cutting, are\ntaking an equally exaggerated view of what they regard\nas imperviousness. They hold that any institution, policy\nor system, no matter how illogical or how far at variance\nwith accepted views, will be tolerated as long as it serves\nits purpose reasonably well and does not give trouble.\nThey hold also that if an institution or practice becomes\ninnoying or troublesome it is likely to bc abolished, no\nmatter how sound thc logic may be in support of it.\nCarrying these ideas to extremes, the suffragettes are\ndevoting their energies not to logically convincing the\npeople that the present restriction on a primary public\nservice is unwise, unreasonable, or unjust, but to making\nit troublesome. They think that to make the restricted\nfranchise system a nuisance will be a more certain method\nf effffecting a change than to argue that it is unjust or\nwasteful. They think that an appeal to the public love\nof ease and comfort is more likely to prove effective than\nan appeal to popular intelligence.\nRECKLESS AUTO DRIVING\nRECKLESS drivers of high-powered automobiles are\none of thc gravest menaces oi modern civilization.\nIn conjunction with efforts on the part of manufacturers\nto bring thc self-propelled cars to a closer state of perfection, arise problems of equal importance for legislative\nbodies in the shape of framing laws to curb the desire of\nmen to operate autos at a speed endangering life and\nlimb. With some men to drive a car at high speed be\ncomes a mania, and regardless of time or conditions, the\nwonder :---, that more accidents do not occur.\nVancouver is not free from the reckless auto driver.\nEvery now and then the daily papers record details of\naccidents caused by excesses of the speed limits. In\ncar capable of high speed, the limits of safe driving arc\neasily broken, and what are often frolics are converted\ninto tragedies. The fatality on the Granville Street bridge\nthc other night in which one city workman was killed and\nanother severely injured adds but another chapter to a\nlong list of casualities.\n'.here will be general satisfaction with the action of\nMayor Baxter in issuing instructions to the police department to use every effort to bring the man responsible for\nthe accident to account, and also to impress upon members of the force the necessity of stopping any indication\nof recklessness in driving. As the first man of the city,\nMayor Baxter's first official order as Police Commissioner\n\"will be a popular one with thc masses. There will be\nconsiderable gratification too in the fact that the officers\nof the Automobile Club are anxious to co-operate with\nHis Worship in seeing that the regulations are carried\nout to the letter.\nIn South Vancouver there is not thc same danger from\nthe reckless driver as in the more congested city, where\ntraffic is greater. Necessarily the regulations governing\n\"the drivers of cars in the city must be more stringent than\nin a less thickly populated district. But in the more sparsely populated localities the desire for \"speeding\" becomes\nmore pronounced, and with it greater danger to pedestrians. South Vancouver has not been entirely free from\nMilitarists and the Schools\n(\"Toronto Globe\")\nIt is worth while knowing at first\nhand and through official channels\nprecisely what is the aim of the militarists in Canada. The school trustees\nin London seem to have oeen in some\ndoubt. They were perplexed by thc\nconfusion, designed or otherwise, on\nthe part of the advocates of incipient\nmilitarism in their use of the terms\n\"physical training,\" which is one\nthing, and \"military training,\" which\nis an entirely different thing. What\nthe militarists themselves mean is told\neditorially in thc \"official journal of\nthe Canadian Defence League.\" Hire\nit is:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\n\"What the Canadian Defence League has in mind as the utmost required is that the Permanent Corps\nof Canada shall bc recruited as now\nby voluntary enlistment Then, that\nCanada should have Universal Military Training feir thc whole of the\nmale population. The first step is\nphysical and military training for all\nboys while at school as a part of the\nschool system. The second step is\nafter school a continuation of this\ntraining up to the age of 18 in cadet\ncorps and similar institutions under\nState supervision. The third step is\nthat all youths, physically fit, beginning at the age of 18, should have in\nthe first year, say, four months' continuous recruit training under canvas,\nand during the next three years an\nannual camp for, say 16 days. If with\nthis is coupled manoeuvres once in\nthree years there will be no question\nof the efficiency of the Canadian\nmilitia for home defence.\"\n\"For home defence!\" Defence\nagainst what? Certainly not against\nattack or invasion from the Atlantic,\nthe Arctic, or the Pacific. That were\na task not for the Canadian militia,\nbut for the Canadian Naval Service\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nwhich the present Government of\nCanada has decided not to construct\nor at most indefinitely to defer. Of\nwhat then arc Canadians to be afraid\nthat they must at this date adopt\n\"Universal Military Training for the\nwhole of the male population\"?\n\"Physical and military training feir\nall boys while at school as a part of\nthc school system!\" \"Physical?\" Yes.\nAll the calisthenics and thc gymnasium exercises and drilling together\nrequired for physical and mental development and for esprit de corps.\nBut why \"military training\"? Why\nmilitary uniforms and military weapons and military ideals and military\nmotives? All these are calculated,\ndirectly and indirectly, by insistent\nappeal and by more insidious sug-\ngestiveness, to arouse and make\ndominant in a boy the slumbering\nwarlike and half-barbaric instincts of\noutgrown tribal life. In a civilized\nnation there is no more justification\nfor \"universal\" training for war than\nthere is for \"universal\" training for\nduelling; and in Canada there is far\nless justification for universal military\ntraining than for \"universal\" training\nlor agriculture or for industrial service or for honest and progressive\neveryday citizenship. If parents desire their sons trained for the Canadian militia or for the British army\ntheir desire should be respected and\ntheir purpose facilitated! But to talk\nof rearing in Canada a whole generation of boys trained in school and for\nyears afterwards in military motions\nand movements, all uniformed to\nstimulate their vanity, and rifle-armed to strengthen the war spirit\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDone\nwonders if these militarist gentlemen\nexpect thoughtful and intelligent\nCanadians to take them seriously.\nWhen the thing is faced openly and\nits significance made plain the public\nmay make short work of some of the\n'Universal Military Training\" features\nalready made prominent in some\npublic schools.\nCorrespondence\nTIPS TO TOURISTS\nA DVICE is easily given. If it is easy to give, in many\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD** cases it is hard to take. Few recipients thank the\ngiver for advice, no matter what value may attach to il.\nThere may be some exceptions, but they arc few. Good\nadvice, however; is not to be disregarded when it is given;\nit is too rare. A Western traveler hands out the following which is worthy of more than passing notice:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\n\"This is the season of tourist travel when thc whole\naccessible world is being scanned and snapshotted from\ntrains, steamboats, yachts, automobiles and summer\nhotels.\n\"A word of advice just here.\n\"Let there be as much sight doing as sight-seeing.\n\"When you are so jaded with scenery that you can\nswallow a mountain with your breakfast egg and never\nlook up at it\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe mountain, wc mean, not the egg\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwhy,\njust step over a train and climb a mountain and you'll\ntake more interest in them thereafter.\n\"Don't linger in the dining-car too long nor seek it\ntoo often.\n\"Twice a day is about enough for long journeys where\nyou get no exercise.\n\"Some people explain that they eat on the train to put\nin an hour, but they put in a meal at thc same time, and\nthat meal may be one too many.\n\"People who gorge don't get much out of their holiday\nexcept a varied assortment of toothpicks.\n\"When you stop at a hotel in the mountains don't sit\nabout on the veranda and swap troubles with your neighbor or wish you were back again with your worries.\n\"Don't talk in a loud tone of voice about the factories\nthat arc opening up in the wonderful home town you\nleft behind you.\n\"You are away from home to forget that and to let\nother people forget, it.\n\"Get out and stretch your legs.\n\"Fill your lungs.\n\"If there is driving, drive.\n\"If there is bathing, bathe.\n\"If there is climbing, climb, even if it's only half-way\nup the hill.\n\"If there is riding, ride.\n\"It's better to be saddle sore than bored to death.\n\"You are taking a rest and the best rest will be found\nin new forms of motion.\"\nThis traveler has no doubt experienced all the thrills\nand disappointments of the seeker after pleasure.

One's first sensation on reading the letter was as if he had touched some loathcsome reptile. Who is\nthis Edward Gold that hc should\nwrite in such language? Surely his\neducation has been sadly neglected,\nthat hc has no veneration for age. The\ncoarseness, the brutality of thc expression \"Aulideluvian Fossil\" to use\nagainst a public man, because that\npublic man had the courage to thwart\nthe plans of Edward Gold last year\nis enough to raise the bile in any\nman. Has Mr. Gold no veneration\ncither for his father or his mother?\nThe probability is that the man who\ncould use such an expression knows\nnot filial affection or has no veneration for age. Edward Gold, would\nyou not be a proud man today if you\nthought that you would live to the\nage of 76 and have the same vitality\nin you as Councillor Thomas has\ntoday?\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDYours, etc.,\nEBENEZER WHYTE.\ne* * *\nEdward Gold and Past Councils\nSir,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDMany of your readers would\nimagine last week that Edward Gold\nwas a paragon of virtue, and that the\nmoral safeguarding of South Vancouver was his only object in life. Mr.\nGold should remember the saying:\n\"Take the beam from thine own eye\nbefore you seek to remove the_ mote\nfrom others.\" Is it disinterestedness that makes Mr. Gold seek after\nthe Municipality's welfare? Had the\nCouncil followed out Mr. Gold's demands last year there would have\nbeen no outcry against their unfitness\nby him this year.

It is a story of love, patriotism, and heroism seldeem equalled in\nthe history eif the women who have\nbecome the heroines of the nations,\nand when the war is over there is to\nne a wedding in which a noble name\nwill figure.\nThe tale has been told simply, tiricf-\nly, in the official rcpe.rt- and in the\ndespatches of Prince Alexis Karogeor-\nrovitch, cousin of the king, from\nVranje.\nSophia Yovanovitsch lived in Bel-\nuraelc. Her father was a man of con-\nsielerable fortune, a physician and of\ngood birth. Her mother was of noble\nblood and in her day was one of the\nbeauties nf Belgrade. .1 is said that\neluring the reign eif Drags she was one\nof tin- favorites of lhat ill-fated queen.\nSophia was tenderly raised, educated\nin a convent, anel a little more than\nii year ago, befure she was 18. she returned to Belgrade and was introduced into society. Although barred from\nroyal circles, she was admired everywhere and it is saiel that one of the\nprinces of the reigning house of Serbia was madly infatuated with her.\n-ie much see that lie .ought again and\nagain i\" meet her.\nHut there was another a youth named Dmitri, his other name being ignored in the brief dispatches, Dmitri\nwas Russian, or rather his father was\nRussian and his mother a Bulgarian,\nwhi 1 resided in Belgrade. From what\ncan be learned Dmitri was not the\niele;il hero. In fact, it i- intimated that\nbut feir the urging of the girl hc never\nwould have entered the army but\nwould have Bought t\" escape the dangers by claiming citizenship with\nRussia.\nWhen the war cloud that has hovered for twenty years over the Balkans broke and little Scrvia sprang\nto arms Sophia was one of the most\nardent patriots. There were three\nyoung men avowedly suitors for her\nhand, and to each of them she gave\nthe same order\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtint to ask her to\nmarry them or to seek her love until\nthev had volunteered and proved their\nworthiness hy serving the country.\nTwo, both Serbs, at once rushed t'i\nthe colors, but it is related in Belgrade\nthat Dmitri hesitated and finally was\nordered by the girl either to enlist at\neeiice or tee renounce forever all\nthought of marriage with her. Also\nit was evident that Dmitri loved\nSophia more than he loved Servia,\nfor he enlisted.\nSophia Yovanovitsch's friends say-\nthat Dmitri did not want to enlist, but\nthat the girl taunted him with being\na coward, scorned him, and sent him\nfrom her, and that he ,angry and determined, went at once to the first\nstation, enlisted, and asked to go to\nthe front. The recruiting officer\nsmiled grimly and promised, saying:\n\"Take your choice.

W.\nI leeway, of New Westminster, wine is\nperhaps .ine of the ablest historians\nin lhe West and has as large a fund\nof information about British Colutn-\nbia as any man living, says the Vancuuver News-Advertiser. The feel-\nlowing is a contribution by the judge\nrelative tee the Centenary e.f Kamloops. which arrives em September\n17, and establishment eif fur trading\nposts at this point which heralded the\n\"coming of tlie White Man.\"\nMany of our present towns and\ncities owe their existence to the fur\ntrade, such as thc capital itself,\nKamloops, Hazelton, Langley, Yale,\nand Hope. This is neet merely fortuitous; neir is it simply a manifestation of the gregarious nature eif man.\nIt is not simply that new comers,\nfinding a trading peist established,\nsettled around il as a centre. These\ntrading peests were not set down at\nhaphazard. Some commanding pee-\nsitiem was invariably chosen. Strategic points, like the junctions of rivers\nor the head of navigation, naturally\nsuggested themselves to the fur-trader\nas suitable spots, lor he, like the merchant eif today, was anxious to select\nan accessible sile. Where the natural\nsituation did nut point out the location\nmuch care and examination were spent\nbefore a site was finally selected. Thus\nill the case of Fort Langley three\nyears intervened between the preliminary exploration and the construction, lint il was in 1827, when the\nstruggles of forty years were over\nand more deliberations could be used.\nAfter the long and hitler struggle\nbetween the Pacific Fur Company and\nthe Hudson's Kay and North-West\ncompanies for the possession of the\nmonopoly of the fur trade of the\nNorthwest, a light which Anally ended in the absorption of her two opponents by the Hudson's Hay Company, Mr. Jeihn McLeod, of the Hudson's Kay Company, took command\nof Fort Kamloops, remaining freim\n1822 until 1826.\nDuring his time si-ven tribes frequented this post feir trade. He\ngives their names as thc Shert-\nshappe, the Con-la-mine, the Si-mi-\nlac-ca-meachs, the Okanagan, the-\nStat-lam-cher, the Spa-chil-quah, the\nShin-poo. It is difficult to recognize\nour present Indian names in this\northography. During this period\nthe Hudson's Bay Company, which in\n1824 had amalgamated with its old\nopponent, the North West Company,\nexplored a route from the I'raser\nnear Alexandria lo the Okanagan by\nway of Kamloops and the day of\nthe picturesque brigade\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe annual\nmeans of communication\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDarrived.\nThree or four hundred horses were\nkept in the vicinity for the transport\nof \"goods in\" and \"returns out.\" A\nmost beautiful sight was that horse\nbrigade as in single tile under the\nbright skies of the interior it set out\non its long journey to the Columbia\nRiver.\nFrom 1826 to 1828, Mr. Archibald\nMcDonald, fcrrr.cly a clerk in the\nThompson River District, was chief\ntrader at Kamloops. He accompanied Governor Simpson on his famous overland voyage in 1828. Freim\nAlexandria the governor and his\nparty followed the brigade trail to\nthe North Thompson, crossed and\nfollowed the east bank to the fort,\nwhere they arrived about dusk on\nSaturday, the 4th *i October, 1828.\nFond of pomp am1 ceremony, the\nparty formed a procession and with\nHags dying, pipes playing and a general salute, the governor of the Honorable Hudson's Hay Company's Territories entered Port Kamhiops. Mr.\nFrancis Ematinger, who had succeeded McDonald, welcomed tin-\nparty. The natives, duly notified of\nthe intended arrival, were present in\nnumber to be impressed wilh the\nshow, to be lectured by the governor\nami to rec.ivc a sob.ion of a foot of\ntobacco each, wilh a more liberal\ng'ant to Court DepolU- (Court de\npartes) and the other chiefs.\nMr. l'.tiiatlnger's tenure of office at\nKamloops continued from 1828 until\nabout 1832, when he was succeeded\nby Samuel Black. This man was\nformerly of the Northwest Company\nand on Ihe coalition iu 1821 was\npresented with a ring engraved \"To\nthe most worthy of the worthy\nNorthwesters.\" Though a successful fur trader hc was also an educated man, especially interested in\ngeologv and geography. During his\nregime Kamloops was favored in\n1833 with a visit from Mr. David\nDouglas, the renowned botanist,\nafter whom the Douglas pine and tir\nis named. Tradition says that at\nKamloops Mr. Douglas and Mr. Black\nhad an altercation, which reached\nsuch a point that thc irate trailer\nchallenged the botanist to\nmake of themselves a small volume.\nBut we must pass on.\nMr. Paul Fraser, a son of the ccK-_\nbratcd Simon, succeeded Mr. Tod in\n1850. He had been for years cein-\nnected with the Northern department, but left il under a cloud eewing\nto habits of intemperance and ill-\ntemper, A man of great native ability\nand accurate knowledge of the fur\ntrade, his over-bearing manner yet\nrendered him the detested of all under his command. While in Kamloops he gave a servant named I'lar-\ndean such a beating that he died, and\naehling insult lo crime, he found fault\nwith a servant who was preparing\nthe boards lor Ilis coffin. The rcieeri\nwas made lhat perhaps he (Mr.\nFraser) might not have a coffin. The\nremark was prophetic. A few months\nlater while his own men were felling\na tree on Deer mountain it fell upon\nhis tent, killing him instantly and\nburying him beneath ils bulk. This\nwas in 1854.\nChief 'frailer Donald McLean followed Fraser, holding control of the\nold line of fur traders, for during\nthis periotl came the great gold excitement and the wondrous transformation of the fur trader's preserve\ninto the colonist's home. The necessity of changing the feirt lo the\nsouth side of the Thompson to meet\naltered conditions became apparent,\nthough it was not actually undertaken until after hc retired. It is common knowledge that he was killed\nby the Chilcotin Indians in 1864\nwhile assisting the government to\nsecure the arrest of Tellot and the\noilier murderers of Waddinorton's\nBute Inlet party.\nThe last chief trader at Kamloops,\nof' whom T intend to make mention,\nis Mr. J. W. McKay, who succeeded\nMr.McLean. He removed the fort\nto the site, well known to all, a few\nhundred yards below the junction of\nthe northern with lhe southern\nbranch. He had the pleasure of entertaining at the fort in September,\n1H63, Viscount Milton and Dr. Cheadlc,\nthe well known travellers, who reached\nthat spot after suffering great hardships and starvation along the course\nof the North Thompson. How these\ngentlemen fared at Kamloops let\nthemselves tell. \"Talk not to us of\nintellectual raptures; lhe mouth and\nStomach are the doors hy which enter\ntrue delight. Mutton chops, potatoes,\nbread, butter, milk, rice pudding, tea\nand sugar; contrast dried horseflesh\nand water, or martens, or nothing at\nall with these luxuries. The ordinary\nbountiful meals of the fort wcre tpiite\ninadequate for our satisfaction, ami\nwc managed to interpolate three more\nby rising early in the morning, before\nthe good people of the fort wcre up\nand breakfasting with Mr. and Mrs.\nAssinihoine, who dwelt in the tent\nhard by, secretly visiting them again\nbetween breakfast and dinner and\ndinner and supper. We rested from\neating only from a sense of repletion,\nnot from any decrease of appetite.\nUnder this active treatment our\nmeagre bodies rapidly waxed gross,\nand three weeks afterwards Cheadlc\nmade the astonishing discovery that\nhe had gained forty-one pounds since\nhis arrival at Kamloops.\"\nMy sketch now reaches the time\nwhen Lort Kamloops vanishes from\nthe stage and the City of Kamloops\nappears. Let others speak of that\nphase. But before I conclude let me\nbeg that in this centennial year, when\nhistorical interest is aroused and while\nthe evidence of the locations of the\nold forts is' yet existing some steps\nbe taken to mark with inexpensive but\nappropriate monuments their sites.\nKamloops has a past of which she\nmay well bc proud. Let her preserve\nto future generations the evidences eif\nthat interesting period. And these\nstones shall bc for a memorial unto\nher children forever.\nJapanese Proverbs\nThough Japan is the youngest uf\nthe world powers, it is second to none\nin national spirit and commercial\nenterprise nor in courteous conduct,\npersonal cleanliness, or love of home\nand country are ils indomitable people excelled by Ihose of any other\nnation, These characteristics of the\nMikado indicate that they are a\npeople of high ideals, and it is iu a\nnation's proverbs that its ideals frequently find expression.\nMany of the national proverbs of\nJapan were collected and translated\nseveral years ago by Ota Masayoshi,\nand were published under the title\nof \"Japanese Proverbs.\" It is from this\nentertaining little volume that lhe\nfollowing are taken ;\nPatience is the rope of advancement in all lines of life,\nThe ignorant are never defeated in\nany argument.\nIt is more easy to evade lhe\ntrouble Heaven sends us than that\nwhich we bring upon euirselves.\nIt the water be too pure, fish cannot live in it; if people be too ex-\nduel, acting, fellow beings cannot stand\nHowever, the storm blew over and beside them\nBlack was foully murdered by a Where there arc no birds, the bat\nyoung Indian at the instigation of will bc king.\nhis mother, who claimed that the If the mind is clear, even in a dark\ntrader had worked \"bad medicine\" I room there will be radiance; if the\non her husband.

Between that thoroughfare anel\nSixteenth Avenue houiei were few in\nMount Pleasant, while in Falrview no\nitreeta whatever in thai district were\nopened, In Mount Pleasant, many\nhe,uses were located along both sides\nof Westminster Avenue (Main Street)\nanel leer B few lilocks em either side.\nSeeuih e.f where Pairmont exchange is\nlocated there was not enough activity\nto arouse a flurry in real estaie, which I\nmeans much in a place like Vancouver.\nIn 1902, a tingle track was extended\nfrum Ninth along Westminster Avenue tee Sixteenth to give a car service tn the people in lhat district.\nYeilding to lhe demand fur tram communication lee South Vancouver, in\n1904 the B. C. Electric constructed the\nline from the Sixteenth Avenue extension. Farmer! then held sway even\nthis side of the Bodwell Reiad, on\nwhich the cemetery is located, and a\nfew pioneers had gone beyond the\ncity boundary (Sixteenth Avenue I\nbecause taxes were low and land was\ncheap.\nToday there is nearing completion\nat the corner of Broadway and Main\na skyscraper as tall as any on Granville Street with the exception of the\nVancuuver block and the Rogers\nbuilding. This is the block erected\nby Mr. II. O, l.ee, the lirst of its kind\nin any of the outlying districts. To-\nelay. $4,800 is askeel fe.r a tWO-storey\ndwelling in thc 4.500 block em Quebec\nStreet, which runs parallel to Main.\none block west, Counting fifteen\nblocks to the mile, that location is\nthree miles fremi the Burrard Inlet\nwaterfront.\nMain Streel. six miles long, running\nthrough to the Fraser Kiver, is very\nbusy at the corner e.f Broadway, with\nits 'banks and si,,res. Out at Six-\nteenth Avenue, the boundary of the\ncity before annexalieen eel\" D.L. 301,\nthere is a fair-sized business com-\ninu.iiiy. and away eiut at Twenty-fifth\nAvenue, where main line cars terminate their run. there la still another,\nwhile all along Main, and east and\nwesl \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD >ii Broadway, are to be found\nexcellent nlocks of Imposing architecture.\nIt is because of this expansion that\nproperty owners throughout thai district are sanguine regarding future\nDroapects. They appear to be right\nin their estatemenl thai the growth of\nthe past is indicative <\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD f future expansion.\nEven after one has taken a casual\nlook over the ground, it is difficult i >\nbelieve' lhat 755 telephone wires are\nneeded to provide service to buaincas\nnlaccs in that district. When the\nFairmonl exchange was cut over in\nJune. 1911. fifteen positions with a\ncapacity of 2.000 wires, were install^'\nIt was thought by the B, C, Telephone\nCompany's engineers that thai equipment would be Sufficient t<> lake care'\nof subscribers in that district feer two\nyears, Tu less than eighteen months\nthese wires were all in use. Provision\nwas made for expansion, but this was\nse, rapiel that the estimate of the company, always allowing for a little more\nthan is expected, fell sluert. Today\nthe service from the Fairmont exchange comprises 755 business anel\n1,584 residence telephones, with a\nteilal service of 2,339 stations. Nine\nmure positions have been installed in\nthe expectation that this will he precision enough for the next two years.\nThere are u\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDew ,..o00 lines available-\nwith a capacity <>f 4.50(1 telephones.\nOccupation of the outlying districts\nhas been rapidly effected during recent years and to meet the demand\neif residents, the B. C. Electric Railway Company extended its lines, so\nthat now the whole south-eastern\nportion of the city has ample and\nrapid transportation facilities. In 1907.\nan extension reached out along\nBroadwav to Scott Street: in 1910, it\nwas continued on a double track to\nCommercial Drive. In 1909. another\nline left the' coiner of Broadwav and\nEighth and went mil Westminster\nRoael. with branches down the North\nArm Reiad (Fraser Avenue., half a\nelo/e'ii blocks further east. This year,\nthe Broadway belt line was paralleled\non Sixteenth Avenue, a double track\nbeing laid from Main Street to Oak\nStreel, over whieh a service is given.\nThis vear. too, previous extensions\nwere further extended, so that street\ncars now run right through to the\nFraser River. The B. C. Electric\nrealized that development was permanent, and in track-laying more\nthan met existing demands that they\nmight be thoroughly equipped for the\nfuture.\nThese are what might be called the\ninner-district facilities feir the transportation and distribution of the resident population. The great double\ntrack trunk lines come in from each\nside direct from the city proper. Main\nStreet cars go to the southern boundary of the city proper and also follow the double track route to where\nthe Broadway line again joins the\nmain system on Commercial Drive.\nThe belt line cars run east and west\non Broadway and also are quick connection with down town, and a few\nmonths ago service was begun on the\nCambie-Bridge Street track which will\nbe a very convenient short-cut for a\nwide district.\nAdequate communication by wire\nand rail is necessary in any growing\ncommunity, and expansion has been\ngreatly assisted by the large utility\ncorporations. That is why all through\nthe Mount Pleasant district and contiguous territory beyond, beautiful residences have been erected and hundreds of fine homes established. With\nelectric railway and telephone, this\nsection is always closely in touch with\nany other portion of the city. Business\nplaces follow the erection of dwell\nings, anil a prosperous ami thriving\ncommunity has grown into existence,\nalmeest a small city within the lug\ncity's confines.\nMuch business must be transacted,\nfor within the raelius of lhe Fairmont\nexchange, including practically Wards\nFive anil Eight, city banks have- established eleven [.ranches. These are:\nCanadian Bank of Commerce, corner\nEighth Avenue and Main Street;\nNorthern Crown. 2505 Main Slreel;\nRoyal Bank, four branches, 2301 Main.\ncorner Bridge Slreel anil Broadway,\ncorner Seventeenth Avenue and Main\nStreet, and 75K Broadway East; Un.\nion Bank, 2415 Main Street, and corner eef Twenty-fifth and Main; Hank\nof Vancouver, 577 Broadway West,\nand Cedar Cottage; Bank of Hamilton,\nCedar Cottage.\nThere are none too many banks,\nfor there is a busy factory ami warehouse section west of Main Street\nalong False Creek and on Fremt Sireet\nwith trackage een the Great Northern\nRailway. Little has been heard i if tin\nbig steel plant being erected along\ntin- Great Northern tracks, ami which\nwill be another large industry fe.r the\nFairmont district.

The time has arrived when it is necessary to put all\nthe vim and energy into our administration that is offering, on\naccount of the large and troublesome questions that are to be\ndealt with. Among the most important are sewerage, permanent pavement of all the main trunk roads and business lt.'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDeta\nof the Municipality, the development of the North Arm of ihe\nFraser River as a shipping port, the encouraging of manufacturers to locate within our district, the introduction of modern\nfire-fighting equipment, reservation of park sites, establishing\nof modern hospitals and at the earliest possible moment to arrange an agreement with the City of Vancouver for the formation of a Greater Vancouver, which I hope will be satisfactory\nto all reasonable ratepayers in the Municipality. I am now in a\nposition that I can devote the whole of my time to the interests\nof the Municipality, and if elected I will use the same progressive measures that I did while Reeve, and endeavor to\nplace the Municipality in its just position. Wishing the Ratepayers and residents a happy and prosperous New Year.\nI am, yours truly,\nW. A. POUND, Piogrcuive Annexation Candidate\nW. A. POUND,\nEx-Reeoe\nM\ni\nVOTE FOR\nW.

He recited strings of figures,\nused words six feet long, and glibly\nchattered about unearned increment,\neconomic determination and things\nlike that. Finally the rural stranger\nleaned over and whispered to his\ncompanion.\n\"Mary, are you a-payin' attention\nto this here lecture?\"\n\"As good as I kin,\" she answered\nmeekly.\n\"Are you skeered?\"\n\"I'm skeered as much as I kin understand.\"\n\"Can't I induce you to join the\nSociety for the Prevention of Useless Giving?\"\n\"What would be the advantage?\nUseful gifts cost just as much as any\nothers.\""@en .
