As part realization of the\n\"girden city\" idea, several of the-\nle;i%ig cities in Canada, such as\nToronto. Montreal, Victoria and Vancouver have select districts where\nonly the best class of residences are\nallowed to be erected, and where\nSquares, crescents, boulevards and\nsidewalks are constructed in the most\nmodern style.\nTo lay out a certain section of\nSoulh Vancouver with such or a similar end iu view is being planned by\na number of local public men. It is\nconsidered that there are many districts of the municipality with all the\nbest advantages as regards location,\nsoil and surroundings for a high class\nresidential purpose, such as Shaughnessy Heights.\nThe outlines of the scheme sug-\ngestcd are more or less of a tentative\ncharacter. Whether the proposal of\nthe property owners referred lo is\nintended to be seriously pursued or\nnoi, the proposition itself deserves\nconsideration. Nearly every cily or\nmunicipality in Canada has already\nsections specially laid out for high\nclass residential purposes or are- taking measures lo prevent the erection\nof stores, factories or ramshackle\nhouses in such districts.\nIl is proposed in the South Vancouver scheme to secure land in the\nmunicipality most suitable for a select or \"garden city\" district. With\nthis end ill view a syndicate of the\nland owners interested may be formed at an early date. Roads, boulevards, sidewalks are le. bc creeled\nof the latest kind usual in good residential districts, and thc lighting,\nwater and other public works are lo\nbe planned on the best and latest system. In these and other details of\nthe project it is understood lhat the\nCO-operation eif the Semth Vancouver\nCouncil will he sought.\nThe scheme for laying out this\nselect residential quarter will naturally include restrictions as to the\nelas.- of residence to bc erected within ils borders. Small and poor class\ndwelling houses e,r shacks will be\nbar-ed from entering the \"magic circle,\" and factories or stores will be\nstrictly prohibited likewise.\nA pleasing feature of residential\ndistricts of the kind in many other\ncities or municipalities is the planting of Irees or shrubs along lhe sidewalk borders. It certainly adds to\nIhe garden-like aspect of a residential section.\nAround the Municipal Hall\nBY SCRUTATOR\nWc arc glad lo notice that Mr.\nRawilon has been appointed successor to k. 1.

Keeping up\nthe cry of \"resign,\" \"resign.\" the\nPremier coiihl scarcely gel i hearing.\nThe speaker having called the house\nlo order, the Premier rose and moved\na vote of confidence in the Government which was carried. The Premier then said : \"Mr. Speaker, in face\nof what has taken place, the government will resign.\" The Opposition\nwho were anxiously awaiting the\ncoming of members refused to accept\nlhe resignation, desiring rather to put\nthe Government out on a vote of\nwant of confidence. However, the\nspeaker put the question with the result that thc Government's resignation was accepted by a majority of\none. Several members of the Opposition hurriedly entered the chamber as the voting finished, and for the\nnext thirty minutes the air was\ncharged with electricity. Mr. Lester,\nthe hon. member for Comox, who\nsits on the Cross Benches, and is one\n\"f the most incisive speakers, set the\nturmoil going by challenging the\nlegality of the Hon. Mr. Reed, the\nMinister 'if Agriculture's vote. Again\nand again Ihe Speaker tried to pour\noil on the troubled waters, but all to\nno purpose. The Liberals openly\ncharged the Opposition and Cross\nBenches with conspiracy. The leader\nof lhe Opposition and the Hon. member for Newcastle (Mr. Lester.) repudiated the assertion, while Mr.\nO'Rell emphatically declared that\nthere was no conspiracy. The voting, be said, had been of their own\nfree will, so that there could have\nbeen no conspiracy.\nThe business of the House was afterwards formally wound up.\nIt must be with feelings of gratification that those responsible for the\nformation of the Collingwood Parliament will review their work. We\nsay without fear of contradiction that\nnever has there been an association\nanywhere, that has met with better\nsuccess'than Collingwood Parliament.\nIn reporting the meeting of the\nHoard of Trade, one of the morning\npapers slaled that the board found\ntheir financial arrangements in a bad\nway.

This is a plan to erect a big\nracing stadium and boxing arena on\nthe easterly half of 11. L. 652, between Prince Kdward and Main\nStreets and Fifty-second and Fifty-\nfourth Avenues.\nOn behalf eif the promoting company, Messrs. C. L. Thomas and W.\nR. Linch made application tee the\nCouncil on Monday for the necessary\nlicence.\nMr. C. L. Thomas, in asking lor the\npermit, slated that the proposition\nwas to erect a stadium for motor\ncycles races and lacrosse matches, to\ncost from $15,000 to $25,000. As sufficient capital had not, however, been\nraised as yet for the whole scheme\ncontemplated, the company would\nalso ask for a permit to hold boxing\ncontests, an arena for which would\nbe constructed. Il was calculated\nthat the boxing exhibitions would\nhelp mil ihe finances.\nMr. Thomas explained that while\nthe stadium would be erected as soon\nas possible, if the boxiug permit is\ngranted it would enable the company\nto go ahead at eenee wilh the construction of a boxing arena. This\narena would cost between S4.IKXI anil\n$5,000 anel would be built to seat\nabe.ut 450H .,r 5000 people. The stadium and arena would cover an area\neef 610 square feet, and Ihe racetrack\nwould be a third eel a mile ill circumference.\nAltogether it was proposed to utilize about 14 acres for the purposes\nmentioned. The company also figured on putting up a grandstand\naround the race track which would\naccommodate at least 8,000 people\nand possibly three or four times that\nnumber.\nIn the course of the discussion,\nActing-Reeve Campbell expressed the\nopinion that the Council was favorably disposed towards the application.\nI It suggested thai the municipal - ill-\ncite ir be consulted on the mailer.\nCouncillor Third said that the prc-\nposed scheme would be a good advertisement for the district and was\nin favor of graining the application.\nCouncillor Millar thought that\nplans should be submitted by the promoters and that a guarantee should\nbe given to erect the stadium within\na specified time.\nIt was finally agreed by the Council, afler consultation with Mr. II.\nCeilin Clarke, municipal solicitor, that\nthe company be granted a permit subject lo plan- being submitted for the\nI approval of the Council and the carrying out of certain conditions.\nSCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEES\nON BOARD EXPENDITURES\nA vista of Capilano Canyon, which many thousands of people visit in the\nbright summer days now happily arrived\nJetty and Dredges for North Arm\nAt a meeting of the Board of Trade\non Monday it was decided to send\nthc following telegram to Messrs.

The committee seemed lo have gone carefully over the\ntwo franchises now before the Council, dissecting them clause by clause,'\nmaking many alterations and additions. The most notable additions\nwere that im Asiatics or Hindoos be\nemployed by the company obtaining\nthe franchise; that the successful\ncompany put up a bond of $10,000 to\nsuccessfully carry on the work; .-ils<>\nthat ilo >e- companies seeking the\nfranchise should hear the cist of same\nbeing pul to iln- ratepayers.

The\nbills for the advertising have not been\nentered in the school accounts, neither will tTiey be paid by .school\nmonies. This information was openly\ngiven to a meeting at Cedar Ceittage.\nThere is a puhlic spirit which openly\nsupporis the men in whom the ratepayers have confidence to vote to a\nposition of trust, and there is a so-\ntailed public spirit which sees a bad\nand ulterior motive in anything the\nelected men do. The only motive\nprompting the trustees to spend their\nown money was public-spiritedness\nand a proper desire that the ratepayers should neet. againsl iheir owsi\ninterests, be led astray by mischievous misrepresentations.\n\"Iloni suit qui mal y pense.\"\nYours truly.\nW.

In the fourth the\nvisiteers hit the ball hard on the nose\nlive times in all, and when the smoke\ncleared away the Bees found themselves three runs to the bad. One\nwalk helped making of these three\nruns. The Bees were now confronted with an uphill task and considering that Schmutz had his spitball\nworking to perfection and absolute\ncontrol the grade which they must\ntread was awfully steep. They worked hard, and exceedingly well under\nthe circumstances, starting the fourth\nthemselves with three hits in a row\nthat gave them one earned run, but\nthe undertaking became hopeless\nwhen Smith failed to tighten up, and\nthe invaders continued to hit him\nbard. Outside of the one in the\nfourth Victoria did not gel an carn-\neel run, errors em lhe part of the Vancouver infield assisting them to their\neither two counts.\nSome hard luck was encountered\nby the home team in lhe fifth.

Not a\nchampionship lcit Toronto and the\nfact that the decisions in several of\nthe linal bouts in which Montrcalers\nparticipated were hissed and hooted\nby the creewd has kept the Eastern\npress in an uproar all week.\nThe latest development today is a |\nchallenge from the Riverside Club,\nof Toronto, whose members won no\nless than five titles, to the Montreal\nclubs, staling that the Toronto title\nholders will come lo Montreal and\nbox their rivals before any club in\nIhis city, and before any judges.\n.Meantime the A. A. U. of. Canada\nthreaten to take the matter of the\nsize of the ring up. as on actual\nmeasurement the ring in which the\nbouts were held was only 14yi feet\ninstead of the 16 called for. It is\nmore than possible that the 1913\nchampions may lose their titles if thc\nA, A. U. of Canada decides that\nthings were not run according to\nHoyle.\n* A A\nDeclaration that Ty.

F.\nBramley. of Cleveland, a stockholder\nin the outlaw organization.\nfully conducted a large farm, the\nproduct! of which added, to his tithes,\nbrought him to a prosperous way of\nlife. His housekeeper was bis daughter, a handsome girl of marriageable\nage, who efficiently ruled the parsonage and the lands of her father,\nlong a widower. Qvist bore a particular reputation for honesty, and one\nof his characteristics often had been\nmade the subject for humorous remark among his neighbors. It was\nsaid of him that in the heat of dispute he could see so justice upon his\nopponent's side, but that when his\npassion cooled he could see no justice upon his own.\nEricsen hastened to the parsonage\non gathering the first few fragments\nof the news. At the door he met Soren Qvist and was surprised to find\nhim painfully agitated. The clergyman could tell him little of the matter, but, to the further surprise of\nthe magistrate, straightway took a\nmost serious view of the disappearance. Ericsen instinctively made\nlight of lhe case while he talked. The\nman had been merrymaking, belike,\nand would return as soon as he was\nable to hold his legs. But the pastor\nwaved the suggestion aside and said\nhe feared a darker outcome. He had\nhimself instituted an impi-.ry. be declared, bin Neils had vanished of an\naflernie.eii, anil no person in the place\nhad been in his company ur had seen\nhim go.\n\"And who was lhe last lei sec him?\"\nasked Kriescn, in a voice uncons- '\nciously sharp as his incisive brain began l.e grapple with the problem.\nQvist did not answer, and the magistrate, looking al. him quickly, saw\nthat his face had gone white.\n\"I think\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDlhat no one saw him after\nhe parted from me,\" was the unready\nreply.\nEricsen left the- parsonage with\ntroubled mind. He dared not admit\nto himself the suggestion that had\nflashed across him at the words of\nSoren Qvist. Affection, the lifelong\nhabit of thought regarding the clergyman; Qvist's sacred calling, a dozen\nobstacles held back the train of inference. But He was undeniably\nshocked that his friend should be,\nthus unmanned by circumstances that\ncould surely not touch him closely.\nBut might it not touch him? was the\nsteady, inward question of his other\nself\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhis crime detecting self.\nReceptive to the suggestion of village talk, the Magistrate soon observed that the breath of rumor began to blow evilly about the name\nof Soren Qvist. He protested against\ncertain hints dropped in his hearing to the effect that the pastor perhaps knew more of the mystery than\nhe would like to tell. Ericsen resisted this insinuation through high\nregard for a man whose lifelong intimate he had been and whom he believed to be incapable of harm. But\nwith the rousing of (he latent detective sense and the persislent repetition of remarks bearing upon the\nclergyman he was forced to change\nhis ground.\nHe was brought the sooner to a\nmore open attitude by the earnest representations of Morten Bruns, a\nwealthy brother of the missing Neils.\nThis Morten was a cattle farmer of\nIngcerstrup, a village lying a few\nmiles from Vielby, and was reputed a\nvain, unscrupulous man, who was\nused to having his own way in affairs.\nHe had put his own construction upon the disappearance of his brother.\nAt length Ericsen, driven back from\nthe prejudice of friendship to his\nusual calm and judicial stand in all\nthings, saw that in fairness he must\nfollow the indications of the case,\nthough confident that examination of\nthe pastor's acts would only serve to\nturn the inquiry away iu a likelier\ndirection,\nLarsen, a cottager, furnished the\nlirst course of the foundation of the\ncase. He said that on the night of\nthe day following that upon which\nNeils had disappeared he was wending his way homeward from Tol-\nstrup at a late hour. Passing along a\nfootpath that led by the south side\nof the pastor's garden he heard a\nsound as of some one digging. This\naroused his curiosity, and visions of\nhidden gold occurring, he took off\nhis wooden shoes and climbed the\nhigh hedge, parting the hazel bushes\non the side to allow him a view of\nthe premises. It was clear moonlight. In the open space he plainly\nsaw lhe figure of Soren Qvist, engaged in pounding and smoothing\ndown the soil with a spade, A rustling in the bushes caused the pastor\nto look around to the place where\nLarscn was concealed, and the observer took himself off hastily. Asked\nhow hc knew this figure for the\nclergyman, hc said lhat he could not\nfail to recognize him by lhe long\ngreen dressing gown and white nightcap hc wore.\nAccompanied by thc witness and\nMorten Bruns, Ericsen visited Soren\nQvist and explained that as a matter\nof formality it was necessary lo sift\nthis disposition for possible truth.\nThe Magistrate closely watched the\nface of his old friend in makin\" the\nannouncement, but cnuld detect therein no trace of guilt. Qvist readily assented, helped the men to dig and\nordered his servants lo lend their aid\nwhile he discussed with Ericsen the\nfutile search he had instituted privately at his own expense for Neils\nBruns.\nDuring the excavation Morten turned suddenly on the clergyman and accused him flatly of having murdered\nhis brother, intimating that the proof\nwould be found in this very garden.\nQvist flushed hotly, but restrained his\ntemper with an effort, made no answer and continued to assist the Magistrate with every courtesy.\nAfler a pit had been dug to some\ndepth it became evident that nothing had been interred in that part\nof the garden. The Magistrate commented upon this fact with no little\nrelief,, while Qvist remarked to Morten Bruns :\n\"Slanderer, what have you gained\nfor your pains?\"\nBut Morten was insistent, though\ncrestfallen, and made Larscn point\nout another spot as perhaps thc one\nwhere be had seen the pastor by\nmoonlight. The soil was again thrown\naside, and after some moments a\nshout from one of the workers\nbrought the others about him.

In Lethbridge.\nthe Socialists wcre alsee running a\ncandidate. At lhe last convention of\nthe miners of that district, the principles of Socialism were formally endorsed as expressing the political aspirations of the miners. Thus wilh\nthe vice-president of tbe district running in opposition te, a candidate eef\nthe Socialist party, a peculiar situation was created, and it is to settle\nthe question that the convention is\nto meet. The membership eif the district is by no means all of eme mind\non the matter, and the gathering\nshould at least bc interesting tei those\nconcerned, and the outcome will be\nclosely watched by all sections of\nthe labor movement in western Canada and in lhe East as well.\nXe el. *\nThe miners nf Bank-head anil Can-\nmore, near Banff, held their annual\ncelebration on May Day at Bankhead,\nJ. \Y.

LL the best financial authorities tell us that money\nA tightness is practically at an end, or that it is\n\"loosening up\" in Canada, the United States and Great\nBritain. While there have been various direct and indirect reasons for this financial stringency, there has\nbeen one factor which has been widely and sometimes\nhotly blamed for this situation in Greater Vancouver. It\nseems hardly necessary to say that the scapegoat in question is over-speculation in real estate.\nDuring the past two or three months there have been\na plethora of panic sales in Vancouver. These have been\nvariously called \"slaughter,\" \"cut-in-two,\" \"given-away\"\nand \"extermination\" sales. Several of the advertisers expressly state that the \"stringency of money\" is the sole\ncause of their cut-rate and eye-opening bargains. One\njeweller in Vancouver is still advertising broadcast that\nthe selling of h:s stock was caused by bis \"plunging in\nreal estate,\" and advises others to profit by his experience.\nThere are, of course, plenty of people who are temporarily embarassed by having their money tied up in good,\nlegitimate and valuable real estate. But there arc also,\nnot a few whose hard-earned money is held up indefinitely, if not for all time, by various \"wild cat\" schemes.\nThe recent tightness of money will at least have served\none good purpose if it weeds out some of the grasping,\ndisreputable and piratical real estate dealers who have\nbeen imposing upon people of Vancouver and elsewhere\nfor so long a time. It should also lend 1\" make some\nvictims wise in future to the too alluring propositions of\nthese real estate buccaneers.\nOUTDOOR RECREATION\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD S the long summer evenings approacn, the gladsome\nA conditions of warm atmosphere and bright skies\ncompelllngly call ber outdoor occupation. For the young\nand active there are baseball, lacro se. cricket and the\nnumerous other games which require more or less Strength\nand agility in body and limb.\nBut there comes a time when a man finds these recreations of young blood too Strenuous and exciting, especially when tired from a long day's hard work. To the\nmiddle-aged statesman, bending under the weighty cares\nof a nation, the lawyer harassed with too much business\nor the real estate man with too little, golf is now the\nchief universal panacea for recuperation, It is a mild and\nsatisfying exercise for the \"no longer young of class\nand leisure. It is an exclusive game, the recreation of the\n\"classes.\" In Burnaby there are links for this aristocratic\ngame, but not in South Vancouver, where, indeed, there\narc not even facilities for more popular games for the\n\"masses.\"\nThere is. for instance, the good, -Id, fascinating game\nof bowls, which requires skill of the arm and keenness\nof the eye but does not put too great a strain on mind\nor muscle. The game is a delightful I ne for lhe summer\nevenings. Given a well-kept bowling green in a happy\nsituation, there are few outdoor recreatieins which afford\nso much pleasant exercise without the necessity of violent exertion. It affords also an opportunity of players\ndiscussing, not perhaps the arrival of a Spanish or German armada as in the days of Drake, but at least the\nVarious interesting topics of the day. It contributes in\nfact, lo the social amenities of the district.\nBowling greens are now numerous and increasing in\nthe Bast, especially in Ontario. Perhaps this is a case\nwhere the West may learn from the East; and certainly\nthe formation of a bowling club iu South Vancouver\nwould be a \"boon and a blessing\" to many a hard work-\niiigman.\neef Seeuth Vancouver eminently suitable for high-class\nresidences. In many respects the municipality is better\nfavored fe.r the purpose suggested than any other part of\nGreater Vancuuver. The soil and surroundings are admirably adapted for the location of the better class of\nresidences, and there is quick and easy transportation\nfacilities to all parts of Vancouver city.\nThere would need to bc, of course, adequate restrictions as to the erection of stores, factories, or dwelling-\nhouses of a \"shanty\" e,r shack description within the area\nof the proposed district. It is only a week or two ago\nsince the resident* of a certain residential part of Soulh\nVancouver had occasion to protest against the erection ni\na dairy in their particular district.\nThe proposed scheme is, as yet, apparently in only a\ntentative or preliminary shape, but there can be no reasonable doubt that the municipal council will co-operate with\nthe promoters in its development.\nAN UNDESIRABLE PROPOSAL\nIT has been proposed by a member of a certain public\nbody in South Vancouver that provision should be\nmade for the supplying of cigars, cigarettes and refreshments to members of thc press. It was further suggested\nthat a certain sum of money be devoted monthly to distribution among newspaper men. In what precise manner the money was to be doled out does not appear, nor\nis it known whether, like the Vancou\nrecently, a \"Bribery and Corruption\" account is to be\nopened.\nOne thing certain is that no reputable journal and no\nself-respecting or honorable newspaper representative,\nwill consider the proposals as either called for or complimentary. They cannot but resent the suggestion,\nwhether free from ulterior motives or not, as an indirect\nand insidious method of endeavoring to influence the\nopinions or reports of the newspapers concerned. It is\nnot a question of the friendly intercourse of newspaper\nmen with public men, when cigars may be given or taken\nas a matter of ordinary social amenity, but of a special\nsum being devoted for a purpose which is open to the\nmost invidious construction.\nAs a general rule, journalists meet with courtesy and\nconsideration from public men. They render each other\nreciprocal service. The newspaper man is after the news\nand the public man wants due weight or publicity given\nlo his views; but there should bc no suspicion on cither\nside of tindue influence such as a proposal of the kind\nreferred to is liable to suggest.\nBURNABY FRANCHISE QUESTION SOLVED\nTill', electors of Burnaby by carrying the B. C. E. R.\nfranchise on Saturday have settled for years to come\nthe long agitated matter of transportation rates and\nfacilities. It is now left in thc hands of the B. C. E. Railway for a period of over 36 years. At the same time the\nratepayers' endorsation of the franchise will cause the\nabandonment of the lawsuit pending against the B. C.\nElectric Railway.\nThe immediate effect of the granting of the franchise\nwill bc the early extension of the Hastings Street line\ninto Xorth Burnaby and later of the Sapperton line, out\nof Xew Westminster, along the Xorth Road towards\nTort Moody. It is announced also, that substantial reductions in the rates on the Burnaby Lake and Central\nPark lines will be granted at an early date.\nBesides the B. C. Electric Railway franchise, thc three\nbylaws submitted to the electors were passed by large\nmajorities. The roads improvement bylaw, involving an\nexpenditure of half a million dollars was endorsed by the\nmajority of 416 out of a total poll of 982, while the sidewalks bylaw also received a decisive majority. By the\nratepayers approval of these two bylaws Immediate progress can be made with much needed road improvements\nthroughout Burnaby municipality.\nMore fortunate than South Vancouver, the School\nTrustees of Burnaby secured the passing of their bylaw\nfor school purposes by a substantial margin. Their programme, however, was not quite so elaborate or expensive as that of South Vancouver, $29,000 being the total\namount asked for Burnaby's present school requirements.\nTRUST COMPANY MANAGEMENT\nA TRUST company to secure the confidence of the\npublic these days must give satisfactory evidence\nthat its directors and executive committee arc men of\nknown business capacity and integrity, and that it is\nmanaged along safe and conservative lines. Both these\nconditions appear to be amply fulfilled by (be Traders'\nTrust Company, of Vancouver, with two branches in\nSouth Vancouver.\nAmong the directors of the company arc Messrs. F. E.\nElliott, R. C. Hodgson, R. S. Lewington, Kenneth Lamond and Rev. J. C. Madill, who arc gentlemen of high\nrepute and standing in South Vancouver. The first two\nnamed, both successful business men with an intimate\nknowledge of trust affairs, are on the executive committee.\nThe Traders' Trust Company, which was recently\nformed wilh a capital of $250,000, has profited by the experience of sonic other trust companies and will not for\ninstance, include in the assets their equities in real estate\nor other speculative or non-productive securities. Assurance is given that the business of the company will be\na purely trust one, such as the loaning of money on first\nmortgages and collateral securities, discounting agreements for sale, liquidating estates, and insurance.\nAs president, the company possesses in Mr. C. G. Mc-[\nLean a man of high reputation in the financial circles of\nVancouver, and all the officers connected with the company have valuable experience and knowledge of the monetary conditions necessary for good management.\nIt is understood that the officers of the company have\nmade certain financial connections which enables them to\naccommodate those requiring loans with money at reasonable rales of interest.\nM\nBY THE WAY\nu\nsporty.\nSOUTH VANCOUVER is becoming quite\nRecently a license for a boxing eiitcrlainnieiil hall was\ngranted by thc council, and now it is proposed lo erect a\ngrand racing stadium on Main Sireet and Fifty-Second\nAvenue, with a seating capacity of 8IXK).\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nTHE XAME POSTS fixed up on the corners of streets in\nBurnaby have proved of great convenience to both residents and visitors.

In fact, it has been tested by experience.\nIll Canada a counsel was trying to\nmake a witness answer yes or no,\nand he contended that any question\ncould be answered ill that way. The\njudge said In the counsel, \"I think 1\ncould frame a question that you\ncould ii\"t answer yes or no. 'Have\nyou given up the practice of beating\nyour wife\"'\"\nNaturally, an innocent witness\nwould answer indignantly. \"1 have\nnever beaten my wife.\" Suppose he\nwere forced to answer in one of the\nmonosyllables referred tie. If he\nsaid no, he would apparently admit\nthat he was still beating his wife. If\nbe said yes, he would figure as a reformed wife-beater.\nPossibly a friendly counsel would\nhave an opportunity, at a later stage,\nto ask him : \"Have you ever beaten\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . \"\", Tl , your wife?\" But the opportunity\nver School Board J,.^ mi| w|Mi of t,]c fr,e$,y \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD0un_\nsei might forget, or regard the matter as of slight importance. Anyhow, why should the proceedings be\nprolonged and complicated when the\nmatter would be easily settled y allowing the witness to answer in bis\nown language?\nOf course a witness must not be\nallowed to evade the question. He\nmust answer directly and frankly. But\nit is absurd to make him answer in\none of two words when the new dictionary contains 450.000 words and\nphrases.\n* * *\n.MOVING PICTURES AND THE\nEYES\n(\"Milwaukee Sentinel\")\nThere is much of educational value\npe.ssiblc in moving pictures in the\nschools.

COWAN, Proprietor\n3336 MAIN STREET\nPhone : Fairmont 16(50\nAl a meeting of tbe Main Sireet Improvement Association, held Monday\nevening une of the leading questions\ndiscussed was the high assessment on\nMain Street. Main Street, declared\nex-Reeve Pound, pays one-eighth of\nthe taxes of Si mill Vancouver municipality, and it was quite evident that\nit does not get in return any thing\nlike that proportion of the money\nspent in the municipality for improvements; hence this street is and\nhas been providing more than its\nshare of the money necessary for the\nupkeep of the municipality, and naturally should have its assessment very\nmuch reduced. Besides, the property now is assessed at a higher value\nthan thc lots can be sold for.\nA question asked was : Can thc\nowner of a lot have his assessment\nlowered if too high without lowering\nthe other bits as well in the block\nwhich are also assessed for the same\nvalue, or is it necessary for all the\nproperty owners in the block to appeal collectively? If such is the case,\naccording to the Municipal Clauses\nAct, it then becomes almost impossible for the individual owner to get\nredress. This seemed to bc the conclusion arrived at when it was explained by Mr. I'euind that individual\nlots could neit be altered without\nchanging olher lots proportionately\nin the same locality. It would appear from this that the taxpayer's\nrights are very much more limited\nwhen he attends the Cenirt of Revision to get an alteration in his assessment than would seem from lhe information gleaned from his assessment notice where it says ; \"If you\ndeem yourself Improperly assessed,\nyou or your agent may notify me of\nsuch improper assessment at least\nten days previous to the first meeting of the Court of Revisiein, which\nwill be held at the Municipal Mall.\nSouth Vancouver, on a date which\nwill bc duly advertised, when your\ncomplaint will be tried in conformity\nwilh the provisions of the statutes.\"\nThe discussion over this matter\nwas closed by appointing the President and D. Grimmett to interview\nthe municipal solicitor and appeal on\nbehalf of the association at the Court\nof Revision against improper assessment on Main Street. The Secretary\nwas also instructed to write Ihe\nCouncil asking them to pass a resolution instructing the Assessor for\n1914, t\" assess Main Sireet propertyI\nproportionately t<> prevailing eeuidi-\ntions in the municipality.\nAnother matter which came in for\na greal deal nf discussion was the do!\nlay of the H. C. Electric in putting\non through cars on Main Street. Thet\ncommittee appointed at the previous i\nmeeting repotted that the company\nhad failed to promise a definite time j\nwhen tlje through service would be j\ninaugurated, and after a great deal j\nof discussion as to the reason for1\ndelay, a comniiltee of twice the num-\nber, consisting of Messrs.

He was taken to the\nvillage jail.\nThe genius of the*natural investigator, Ericsen, had here its first opportunity for expansion. He entered the puzzling affair with a predisposition in favor of the accused, an\nhonest desire to implicate him no further than indisputable fact made necessary, which effectively guarded\nagainst his hasty acceptance of damaging evidence. But having struck\nthe scent he could not but follow\nwhither it led him. Foul play had\nbeen done and it was for him to establish how and by whom. There\nwas no hesitation. His keen intelligence sought out and laid bare the\nessential facts as he found them with\nthe accuracy of the surgeon's scalpel.\nTo start with, he needed no neighbor to tell him that Seron Qvist,\nthough a man of excellent parts and\nof admirable character, was haunted\nby an active and violent temper which\nhe was at some pains to control even\nin trillcs. Each parishoner could\nhave related some incident that prov-\nd the irresistibility of their pastor\nwhen he was crossed or aroused by\nopposition. He was perpetually in a\nitarrel, and as frequently was he regretting some hasty word or action.\nThere were few to hold this against\nIt iin, however, for his sincere sorrow\nfollowing an outbreak was known and\nunderstood.\nEricsen easily established that\nQvist bad engaged in a series of altercations wilh Neils Bruns during\nthe three months the farm hand had\nspent beneath his roof.

The matter will come up\nagain at the next meeting of the\nlighting and heating committee.\ncerning their concealment of\nhappenings of which they had knowledge. Ile we.rmed from them that\nthey had been passing the clergyman's garden on the very afternoon\nof the disappearance, when Neils\nBruns bad called to them through the\nhedge, and had thrust out a handful\nof nuts, which they accepted. They\nasked him what be was doing, and he\nreplied that he had been set to dig\nI lhe garden, but the task was not to\nhis liking and he was shirking it. The\nconversation was interrupted by the\nslamming of a door and Neils remarked that Soren Qvist was coming.\n\"Listen,\" he said to the women,\nand you will hear a wondrous preachment.\"\nThey waited, curious to hear their\npastor in one of his rages, and overheard a stormy duel of words between\nthe clergyman and his farm hand, who\ndefended himself with bitter retorts\nagainst the charge of neglecting his\nwork. Finally, they reluctantly admitted, they heard Qvist utter these\nwords in a voice half choked with\nanger:\n\"I will beat thee, dog, until thou\nnest dead at my feet.\"\nThen came a sound of blows, while\nNeils called the pastor a rogue, a\nhangman and various other ill terms.\nQvist made no answer, but the woman saw the blade of a spade rise and\nfall twice above the hedge, with a\ndull shock, as upon a body at its descent. After this there was silence,\nand they hurried on their way along\nthc path, uneasy at what they had\nseen and heard. They were not able\nto swear as to whose hands held the\nspade, owing to the thickness and\nheight of the hedge. They Were unwilling aids to Ericsen, and it was\nonly by dint of cautious questioning\nand clever manipulation of their fears\nand beliefs that he obtained this important statement.\nThe pastor was removed to Gren-\nace, a larger town near by, and a judical examination was held at which\nEricsen presented some of his findings. The indefatigable Magistrate,\nmuch as he personally regretted thc\nweb it was his duty to weave, had\nplaced his case in a much stronger\nposition and had three additional witnesses on hand to bear out the earlier\ntestimony. These were two other\nfarm hands and the dairy maid employed by Qvist. The men swore\nthat they were near a window in the\nhouse on the day of the disappearance and had heard the quarrel described by the Widow Kartsen and\nher daughter. They affirmed that the\npastor had cried out :\n\"I will slay thee, dog. Thou shah\nlie dead at my feet.\"\nThey had not taken the trouble to\nlook out of the window, they said, because they knew the master's ways.\nThey deposed, furthermore, to having\nheard Qvist make a similar threat to\nNeils on two previous occasions. The\ndairy maid said that on the same\nnight when Larsen was spying among\nthe hazel bushes she had been awakened by the creak of a door and\nfootsteps. Rising in alarm she had\ntiptoed to the threshold of her room\nand looked into the hall. A figure\npassed her. By the green dressing\ngown and white cap she recognized\nher employer, who continued his way\nto the garden. She thought this midnight wandering a little strange, but\nreturned to rest and heard the creaking of the door again an hour later.\nWhen these facts were brought out\nthere wcre few to doubt thc guilt of\nthe pastor, although the sympathy of\nmany bumble households went out\nto their hotheaded shepherd. Confronted by the weight of statement,\nQvist was deeply perturbed, and volunteered his explanation of a part of\nthc black showing against him.\nlie- admitted the quarrel with Neils\nand the threat againsl his farmhand's\nlife, which he said he had made in\nIhe heat of anger without serious\nmeaning. He declared that when he\nstruck Neill the man dropped the\nSpade, Casting abeiut f<>r a slick In\nhis e.yralh he caught up Ihe spade and,\nNeils continuing Iii-- abuse, hit his employee twice with it, flat or edge he\ncould not say. The man fell. Alarmed at this, for bis temper had quickly\ncooled, he Stopped to raise him, when\nIiis feel and made off,\nleaving the garden by a rear gate. Ik-\nstated positively that hc had not seen\nany trace of the farmhand from that\nminute until the disinterring of the\ncon-jlienly. As tn his mysterious midnight\nHe found the famous gown, examined it with meticulous care, noted\ncertain marks and stains upon it, and\nthen instituted a quiet inquiry among\nthose who knew the garment best. He\nproved that on the morning after the\nalleged burial it had been found covered with mould and soiled earth. It\nhad afterward heen cleaned, but not\nthoroughly. He also established that\nit was lying on the floor of the pastor's room that morning instead of\nhanging from its accustomed peg\nagainst the wall. When the magistrate had made all this secure, for\npurposes of production in court he\nknew the satisfaction of work well\nand thoroughly done.

He followed lhe testimony with\npuzzled attention, but with no change\nin his demeanor up to the introduction of the witnesses who swore to\nhaving seen him dragging the sack,\nand the others that brought out the\nsignificance of the soiled gown. As\nthe import of this section of Ericson's\nevidence came to him he tittered a\nterrible cry and collapsed. So pitable\nwas his conditions that the trial was\npostponed and the prisoner was hurried back to his cell.\nHaving regained his senses he sent\nan urgent message for the man who\nhad been his friend for so many years\nand who had now wound him close\nin the toils of a succession of incriminating incidents from which\nthere could be no escape but to the\nscaffold.\nAnd there, in the prison cell, overpowered by the weight of evidence,\nSoren Qvist made full confession.\n''From my childhood,\" he began,\n\"I have ever been passionate, quarrelsome and proud, impatient of contradiction and ready for a word and\na blow.

No doubt now\nremaining as to the pastor's guil<\nand, his Somnambulistic talc failing\nof effect, on thc following morning\nSoren Qvist was condemned to death.\nThe sentiment of the village had\nbeen lurkingly with the pastor\nthroughout, and when the confession\nwas made known, indicating the lack\nof evil intent beyond a sudden blow\nstruck in anger, a conspiracy was set\non foot to foil the operation of the\nlaw. The jailer was bought over and\na boat was made ready to sail with\nQvist to Sweden. These preparations were brought to a stop, however, by the clergyman's refusal to\npermit the attempt. He was convinced that his crime and execution\ndivinely ordered and he was resolved\nto bear the penalty with what fortitude he could summon. It is fairly\ncertain that had any serious steps\nbeen taken as planned they would\nhave been frustrated in any event.\nEricsen, the inexorable servant of\njustice, the student of his fellow men,\nthe exponent of circumstantial evidence, was too keen to permit the\nlaw to fail of its object.

The cattle farmer, he said, had applied to lhe pastor\nfor thc hand in marriage of his handsome daughter. Being rejected with\nsonic spirit, hc nursed his bitterness\nand vowed revenge. He had caused\nthe penniless Neils to take service\nwith Qvist and had urged him to\nquarrel, expecting some violent outcome.\nOn the day when the clergyman\nstruck Neils with the spade he hurried\nto Morten with an account of his\nwrongs and his brother concealed\nhim until night, promising that they\nwould even matters finely with Qvist.\nAt a late hour the two then unearthed\nfrom the cross roads, where all such\nwere buried, the body of a young man\nwho had recently committed suicide.\nMorten then caused Neils to change\nhis clothes with the body and as a\nfinal touch took the leaden ring from\nhim and thrust it in he left ear of\nthe dead.\nThey bore the body to the woods\nnear the parsonage, and Neils was left\nto guard it while Morden stole away\ntoward the house.
