A letter was read from the direc tora ol the North Vancouver Ferry and Power Co., to the effect that a committee representing them will meet the council in the council chamber on Tuesday, July 7th, st 4 o'clock p.m The Mayor stated that the requisite notice had already been sent the respective aldermen.

The items for the fire and water committee included several bills of expenses at fires which have recently occurred. The Mayor suggested that where the fire was traceable to the set of the owner a statement of account should be rendered him for the amount of expenditure incurred. The council concurred and this will be done. The city clerk read the minutes of s meeting of the board of works recommending ss follows: That the city engineer be granted an apprentice in his department. That the proposed form of local improvement petition be approved and printed. That tenders be again call-id for for clearing a portion of the cemetery site. Items all sdopted with the exception of the msttsr of sn apprentice (or the city engineer, which was laid over until Monday on account of the fact that it clashes with s recommendation previously passed by the council that s rodman be employed. The tenders for clearing a portion of the cemetery site are to be in by July 27th. Minutes of a meeting of the waterworks committee, recommending that the extension of the waterworks system along 14th St., to the residence of Mr. May, be made; also when water is installed during a quarter the rates be accepted for the proportion of the quarter for which water is used. Accepted. Minutes of a meeting of the finance committee recommending that the salary of the typist in the city offices be increased to forty dollars per month. Adopted. A. J. Picton-Warlow appeared before the council, complaining of reekless blasting near his house at Capilano. Investigation developed the fact that this blasting is being done by the city workmen. The Mayor directed the foreman to dismiss the man in charge and employ another. Tenders for improvements on 15th street were opened as follows: Baker & Morrison, f 1700; Askew, Kennedy & McLennan, 1*1750; A. Farro, $1455, K. Nelson, ,11375, John Davis and MscKellar, (1800.

The liquor license by-law was read a third time snd reported complete with amendments. Americans Celebrate. The first contingents of the peaceful invasion of United Ststes citizens, which took possession of the city on Saturday last, began to Srrive at noon snd their numbers steadily swelled, until a thousand could not be considered an overestimate of their strength. Ed. F. Allen, thc general secretary ol thc American Club, Vsncouver, scted ss master of ceremonies and every item on the programme moved with regularity. The proceedings proper opened with the mass meet ing, held about the band stand at Larson's grounds. The grounds and stand presented a very pretty and gala appearance in their dress of flags and bunting. The Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes appeared side by side wherever you turned, and this was but typical of the goodwill which marked the co-mingling of the British and tin* American representatives who gathered on the grounds. When the assemblage was called to order, there were on the platform Col. Dudley, retiring consul general of the U.S., at Vancouver; Hon. Geo. M. West, the present counsel general and successor to Col. Dudley; his worship, Mayor Kealy, and Geo. H. Cowan, K.C., Vancouver. Col. Dudley acted as chairman and first called upon Mayor Kealy to give the address of welcome. Mavor Kealy, in a few well chosen and effective sentences,e.\ pressed his pleasure in welcoming so many American citizens to the city, extended to them the freedom of the city, and wished for them a royal good time. Col. Dudley, in replying, relerred to the fact that this was the loth anniversary of the declaration of independence that he had spent in B.C., snd while it would probably be his last, owing to thr fact that his sffairs would necessitate his removal, nevertheless he would have the pleasure of lingering sometime yet in the city, which he had learned to regard very highly. He arrived in Vancouver on Aug. 19th, 1897, and had received only kindness and friendship from the people of thc province. He re (erred to the wonderful growth of Vancouver during his term of office. Referring to the 132nd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, In- said that that document had elevated mankind as had no other document before or since. The thirteen states were fighting the battle of all liberty seeking people in Ihe struggle which they successfully maintained. They labored under a long list of grievances which they sustained amid many unsuccessful remonstrances for many years. No British colony of today would tolerate for any length of time the indignities which those colonies bore for a long time. Geo. Washington himsell declared that they had no intention of separating from the mother country and that they were fighting only for Englishmen's rights. Canada today would not brook a fraction of the disabilities heaped upon those struggling colonies. No two countries should have closer social and commercial relations than Britain and the States, especially Canada. It was his joy to know that during his term of office the mercantile and kindred relationship have brought B. C. and the coast states closer together. Today we know each other better than ever before, and we have well nigh (orgotten the border line that lies between us. The two peoples have a common origin, literature, interests and mission. The common law of England is the foundation of the law of the United States. With liberty regulated by law this system ot civilization has been worked out to the most perfect system that the world has ever known. Col. Dudley then introduced his successor in oflice as one higher in rank than himself and for whom he bespoke the same courteous kindness that he himself had received at the hands of both American and Canadian citizens. Hon. Geo. M. West, consular general ol the United States in Vsncouver, after a few introductory remarks, referred to the De- claration of Independence, as the first step to the formation of an independent nation, while the 132 anniversary finds that nation one ol the foremost of the world. Wise statesmen have risen to guide af fairs snd now no clouds darken the sky and she occupies first place in the respect snd confidence of the nations. He referred to President Roosevelt as the energetic, virile, typical representative of those statesmen who had carried the nation to its present proud position. He expressed the hope that his own associations with the people would be of the same pleasant character as those of his predecessor, and would consider himself fortunate if, at the termination of him term of office, he occupied a similar position in the confidence and regard of all the people as that enjoyed by Col. Dudley, for whom he had heard expressed on all sides only words of the utmost kindness, regard and confidence. Col. Dudley, in a few highly complimentary remarks, then in troduced Mr. Geo. Cowan, K. C, of Vancouver. After bearing his testimony to the high respect in which Col. Du-'ley is held, the speaker observed that one great song of rejoicing was today asct ml ing throughout the United States. That song had its origin 132 years ago; it was prolonged through the centuries; it resounds across a continent and it finds its echo in the heart of every true Anglo-Saxon. This day belonged not to the United States alone, but the results of the deed which it commemorates were the heritage of all peoples for all time. He did not regard that act as a mere declaration of independence, but as a stupendous fact that upon that occasion a nation was founded upon principles of justice; a government was formed that derives every unit ol its power from the people. We are one in admiration ol this masterstroke of statesmanship. The preparation for that result began centuries ago, when the solemn rights ol man were recognized upon the cross of Calvary. That cross in emblem was planted by Columbus upon San Salvador. But for that cross he had not sailed, and hut for that cross there had been no culmination of thc principles (or which it stands as exemplified in the constitution of the United States. The speaker here digressed to pay a strong and graceful tribute to the influence of womanhood as exemplified al the cross, in the sailing of Columbus and in every great and good work on the earth. Going hack to colonial days, those colonists from England were prosperous, and well behaved, and they brought their social customs, their political sentiments, which became the foundation of the government of the United States and Canada. To that country whence they came we owe a common debt of gratitude. The speaker strong ly contrasted the British method of colonization with that of Spain England had regard for private rights and public protection ol her colonists. Those New England colonists, exercising the tights of individual citizenship, were ready lor that awful day when they must needs rise against the invasion of their inborn rights. To maintain rights when rights are in jeopardy is English to the core. To the eternal honor ol those colonists, be it said, that only with the greatest reluctance and in protection ol their sacred righis did they enter upon war with the mother who bare them. Unfortunately in England at that time there remained the relic ol feudalism and militarism which made it possible for weak men to so administer affairs that a separ ate government became the inescapable necessity ol the situa tion. We in Csnada have attained equal, if not larger liberty, but through an accident of time wc have not been compelled to separate in order to secure those rights. Hence Irom Canada goes out an uninterrupted flow and In tin United Stales a perhaps interrupt ed flow of affection to the mother and nurse ol those principles thit give the liberty snd rights which we in this country enjoy. The in violable and inalienable rights ol the individual is the underlying principle of both systems. Th oriental nations arc building upon the opposite system of the divine right of sovereigns. Upon this foundation they are now attempt ing to build a superstructure pat terned after our civilization. The result will be a new and powerful civilization but not capable of de velopment equal to that founded upon the Anglo Saxon principle Closing, the speaker exclaimed, let us resolve that forgetting the interests and dividing passions oi the past and turning to the future, that our children may bless our day and their fathers, as we are privileged to bless ours. The speeches were interspersed with patriotic selections from lhe orchestra and were followed hy vocal renditions by an excellent quartette. A basket picnic served to replenish thc inner man. This was followed by a brilliant display of fireworks in the evening and the proceedings of a most successful day were terminated by a grand ball. Seymour Creek Bridge The district council, at their meeting on the 19th of June.let the contract for the approach roads for the bridge and also for the building of the abutment to Holt & Doagil, and at their meeting on the 3rd inst. tenders were ordered to be invited for the steel work. The point at which the creek is to be bridged is about 800 yards north of Keith Road, where the stream is confined between well protected banks. On the west side the new road leaves the Keith Road 200 yards west of the creek, passes fairly through the Seymour indian reserve and through district lots 612 and 620. On the east the road goes through lot 676, crossing the new Vancouver pipe- road and joining the Keith Road 800 yards east of the creek. The bridge is to have a span of 140 leet and to be of thc high truss order, with a clear roadway of it' feet in width and a head room of 17 feet 6 in. The roadway Is to be 12 feet above iln* stream. The abutments and wing walls are to be concrete. The bridge is approached on both sides by so easy grsde and rosds have a width ot 21 feet. I otil llw completion ol the new bridge the temporary bridge (or light traffic immediately above Keith Road gives access to the esst of the Seymour. Ferry Matters The conference Iietween the city council and the board ol directors ol the lerry company was held on Tuesday alternoon. The council members were all present, while the ferry company was represented by J. D. Rolierts, P. W. Evans, Wm. Mordcn and James Has we 11 The situation as between the council and the directors at the present lime was carefully considered, and every sincerity was manifest upon the part of both parties, in endeavoring to find some feasible method whereby outstanding differences might be sat isfactorily adjusted. While Ihere was some sentiment upon thc part of the aldermen to the effect that it would be well to deter negotiations until the judiciary reading of the agreement was had in September, this position was not passed, and the council ultimalel^yk|)point- ed a committee to formulate the wishes ol the city lor submission to the directors for tlieir consider* stion. The committee consists ol Aldermen Irwin, Crickmay and Smith.

The report Ol Mining Engineer J. W. Eva, submitted to the district council last week, gives every assurance that the claims of the company arc ol exceptional value. Mr. Eva reports three veins on the property, two ol which have already been crosscut. The insl vein is 30 .feet wide, and is veil strong, with well defined hanging and loot walls. The second vein is 40 feet wide, carrying a somewhat lower grade of ore than is I.ninii 111 No, 1 vein The company is now running a tunnel to tap the No. 1 vein at a depth ol 2011 leet. This tunnel has been iliiim. distance of 145 leet and has yet an estimated distance ol 5 10 leet to run in order to catch the vein. When tins tunnel is completed it is confidently expected lhat the claims will have passed the prospect stage and will take rank as mines, lt is expected that the three veins will unite wiih depth. Mr. Eva slates that he never examined a property that impressed hun 11101c lavorably at a Similar stage of development. The proposed tramline will stmt from the inoulh ot l.ynn creek anil will follow up tin in. k to its source, where the 1 laims aie situated. The line will In equipped lot the carrying ol limber, genetal freight and pawngfiri, and will be open lor public patronage.

From Hon. F. Car ter Cotton, to the effect that the communication of the council will reference to the road up Lynn Creek, had been referred to the chief commissioner of lauds and works with a request for favorable consideration. Received with thanks. From lion, tbe Provincial Secretary, with reierence to the above, tdvising that the matter has been relerred to the Minister of Mines to ascertain the mineral possibilities of the district in ques tion. Received with thanks. From J. W. Eva, with report ol trip to the claims of the Swayne Copper Company, Limited, on Lynn Creek. Received. From Dr. Swayne, president of the Swsyne Copper Co., Ltd., with a request for a franchise to construct and operate s trsmway up Lynn Cresk to the company's mines. The tram will be known as the Lynn Valley Tramway Co., Ltd., and will be operated mainly for the purposes of the mines of the company, although they would be prepared to handle logs, freight or passengers for the entire distance from the mouth of Lynn Creek to its source. The company wishes a fifty year franchise. Councillor Robson observed thst one very de sirable advantage of this applies tion is Ihe fact that the company is prepared to begin construction at once snd to have the tramline in operation ss quickly as men and money could do it. On motion of Councillors Nye and Robson the matter was referred to the city solicitor for advice and laid over for a special meeting at the call of the Reeve. From Geo. E. Jubb aad Thos.

Scriven, advising council of his intention to build a boys' school at Lonsdale and 26th street, and ststing also that if council will do the necessary clearing, he is prepared to boulevard the street in front of his property. Board of wotks to report. A bid was submitted by certain parlies for the labor in connection with planking the Lynn Creek bridge, but the figure was double the cost of day labor. Councillor Robson reported thst Mr. Ross had spoken to him with reference to the building of the road past his property. District engineer submitted specifications and tenders are to be called for. A plan for a new road through D.L. 673 was examined snd accspted. Accounts of the board of works and finance committee were ordered piid. The diitrict engineer reported the signing of the contract for the approaches to the Seymour Creek bridge and,also submitted plans and specifications for the steel structure of the same. These were approved and tenders are to be called for immediately, to be in on or before August 7th next. The board of works recommend ed that the old road from Lonsdale avinue north, running east ward, be improved. This road runs north of lot 8oi, south of lot 787, north through lot 802 into lot 2004 and continues to the northern end of Lynn Valley, a total length of three miles. The engineer reported thst the bridges ire out of order, trees lie across the roadway ind minor repairs ire needed. Councillor Nye objected to thc money being expended liecauss the crown grant under which the present owners hold their property does not show any road, and property owners would object to the road beihg opened, ss the property has been subdivided snd sold with The A.

The reeve asserted positively that it was a public roadway, and Clerk Philip quoted the statute proving that it is a statu tory public road. Councillor McNaught said that ,<mh would pui the road in excellent condition,ami it would be lolly not to avail them selves of its existence, in view 0. the fact that a new road would cost at least $3000, and even then so good a grade to the higher lands ol Lynn valley could not be found elsewhere. The matter was referred to the board of works, to consult the district solicitor and il his advice be favorable to act at once. An application was submitted for a road through D.L. Hot and 2026, for a distance of 3440 feet. This road will require about j)j acres, which will cost $3640, and will necessitate a Irontage tax ol fifty cents a foot. Laid over for further information. The bylaw to restrict the use of firearms in the district was read, finally passed and ordered advertised. A bylaw providing lor indemnity to the reeve and councillors, of <i"n and J.'oai respectively, was passed. A bylaw, to borrow 130,000 for the Lynn valley waterworks district, was given its three readings. This bylaw states that the total assessable property in the water district amounts to (705,982, and that of the entire municipality tt,- 631,104. The debentures will draw interest at 5 per cent and the yearly payments will be (1300 for interest and $107 for sinking fund. In view of the large increase of office work, together with the additional responsibility involved in the new water district and the several local improvement schemes in project, the council grsnted the clerk, who is also assessor and col- lector.an increase in salary to (125 a month. know, as a practical man, that the work is done neither cheaper nor belter than it could be done by local men. We have some of the best mechanics in the country living right here, and whilst I like to see other cities prospering, yet I believe in Jack tar's motto: " A messmate before a shipmate." I would suggest that in order to encourage local industry, a tax in some way should be applied on all goods brought in that could be produced here. For instance, a wharfage charge on every load of lumber would soon help the mill- men here and enable them to launch out in improving their plants. This is just a suggestion. Perhaps some abler mind than mine could demise a means, but it appears to me that it is about time to stop talking and get in and do something. Yours truly, W. H. Stout.

Dear Sir,—I wish to express my appreciation of your admirable editorial in a recent issue in reference to patronizing home products, especially the lumbir industry, which is striving to establish itself in this locality. It ippeirs the majority of people who build here have not s 'park of patriotism in their make up, when they ignore the lactories in their own town and their product, which is made by white men and spend their money in another, fattening the jap and Chinese; and ultimately their money goes out ol lhc country sl-, together. It is not only in lhis\J-IFE line, thc ssme applies to sll goods. We have recently been glad to see boot stores snd others open here, yet every day people may be seen with these goods coming oH thc boat.
