^.Ave hsQf))6/ NORTH VANCOUVER, li. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7.1906. NUMBER «. Wlm will second tlie motion to give the municipal hall a coat of white paint? lt was owing ill a great measure to the very efficient tramway and ferry services on Labor day that the third annual horticultural show was such a big, success. The municipal council met in egular session Wednesday even nul What higher compliment could be paid to Nortli Vancouver than that which Aid. lletlnine made at the banquet on Monday night? He announced for the lirst lime liis decision to be a candidate in the mayoralty race next January in Vancouver. Here's success to you, Mr. Mayor to be. The council will have tlic cordial support of the ratepayers in passing a by-law to regulate the electric wiring of buildings, lt bas been pointed out that electrical fixings, which could not lie used at Vancouver have been brought over here and installed. When the ordinance is passed this danger ous praclice will be done away! Willi. ' THE BANQUET, Two very noticeable features ol Monday night's gathering was the perfect harmony and good feeling thai existed between llie ollicials ol llritisli Columbia's greal corporation and the municipality, and the confidence that was su evident throughout the remarks ' the evening. In replying to the toast ol ibe "Railway Service,' General Superintendent Milnt c usually referred to three verj important factots in the progress ol North Vancouver: the efficiency •of the system in the near future hr .said would be on a par wilh the most up-to-date lines; the branch extending up tlie Capilano would, within a reasonable tunc, be an accomplished fact; the sincere mutual understanding existing between the corporation and the company, as an augury ol the prosperity and material assistance in st'ire for the future ol the Ambitious City. Nurtli Vancouver lias arrived at the stage where push and energy will be needed to form one of the leading spirits in her ascendency. Men who will nol lie lound wanting in cither ambition or discretion. As matters stand today we have both. The B. C. Electric Railway Company have shown, by their wisdom, that they are in every sense of tbe word aiming to build up North Vancouver and make it a city second to none in this province. It is now up to the residents and business men to put their shoulders to lhc wheel and push our rapidly-growing city up another rung in the ladder of progress. The Inlet and the Rain. The inlet yesterday was as muddy in appearance as the Fraser river, caused by the heavy rains. The fresh water streams became very low during the dry weather, and, as a consequence, the dried sand and fallen timber on the banks came down in abundance with the flood. Also, logs and brush coming down the I't'ascr river to English bay, came in through the First narrows with the tide. Together wilh tlie waste timber from the mills hundreds of cords of wood were aboat. This is a distinct danger to the craft o' tlic harbor, especially at night. ing. Present—Reeve Kealy Councillors May and Cornish Communications were dealt with as under: 'he poundkeeper reported that six cattle had been impounded end $to in fees collected during August. Filed. J, Lawson wrote asking that the Keilh road, west of tlie Capilano, be cleared. Board of Works. James Murray complained of an oflcnsive smelling drain near his place on the Esplanade. Board of Health. Tbe clerk reported that be had received from the ferry company three policies of insurance on the steamer North Vancouver, aggregating only J7,ooo. Clerk instructed to ask for information as the agreement called for $10,000. T. S. Nye suggested ihat the council lease lots (i, H and J, in 1). L. 2026, for a quarry, Board of Works and Engineer Balmain to report. Engineer Balmain reported re Seymour creek bridge, and suggested that Mr. Tytler be asked to submit plans for a new one and indicate a site (or ils erection. Referred to Board of Works. James Millie, general superintendent of tlie li. C. Electric Kail- way Company, wrote in reference tu tlie wiring of houses in Nurlli Vancouver, After a lenghty discussion the council decided to pie- pare a by-law to regulate the wiring of buildings. The reeve reported that be had appointed Mr. Bisinman watt, works foreman temporarily, His ..c'.ioti was approved, and instructions given to advertise for a new waterworks foreman. Reeve Kealy and Councillor Cornish were appointed to interview President Hendry of the V., W. & Y. regarding the proposed bridge across the Second narrows. W. T. Stein was appointed | auditor of the municipality for the year. The reeve reported that Solicitor Taylor and he had taken up tlie question of the sub-division of district lot 265 by the Lonsdale estate before Mr. Justice Irving on , Friday last, and he bad held that '■ they could sub-divide down to ihe waterfront and throw the roads in, In llie solicitor it did not seem llial this judgment was in accordance with bis interpretation of the land registry act passed at the last session, which required that all property sub-divided must show roads every boo feel leading to the waterfront, Taking the solicitor's advice lhe reeve was ol lhe opinion ihat they sliould appeal to the full court, The appeal would nut I cost more than $250, and if they I could get judgment in their favor it would mean the saving of many thousands oi dollars to the municipality in future, since roads to the waterfront would liave to be ixpropriated at great cost, Mr, justice Irving's judgment was that since the map ol the sub-division did not show roads the owners were not compelled to leave them. On motion of Councillors Cornish j and May the reeve was empowered | to take proceedings for appeal, I The council iben adjourned, Nortli Vancouver: Medical Health Officer H. Dyer, municipal engineer, J. W,'Balmain, C, E.; Coroner A. B. Diplock; Ex-reeve J. C. Gill; Municipal Clerk Alex. Philip; Municipal Treasurer, J- J. Woods, and the representatives of lhe press of North Vancouver and Vancouver. Expressions of regret at not being able to be present were lead from Mayor Buscombe, R, ti. Macpherson, M. P., Hon. F. C, Cotton, M. L. A., and City Clerk A. McEvoy of Vancouver. In his opening remarks the reeve explained the nature of the banquet, and in a few well-chosen words extended the appreciation of the council and citizens of Nortli Vancouver to the guests of the evening. Tlie toast list waslicartily replied to by both the officials of the tram line and the other guests present. Tramway Time Table. Mr. W. Ii. Bunbury, traffic manager for the B. C. Electric Railway Company, has handed in the following timetable of cars running on Lonsdale avenue, until such times as tlie full service is completed in North Vancouver. Six tickets will be sold for 25 cents, and no white tickets will be used. Tlie former tickets is a concession to North Vancouverites. as tbe agreement stated that there are to be live tickets in place of six. A Big Success—The Opening—Prize Winners. The third annual exhibition of thc N irtb Van ouver Horticultural A ■ aOciati' 11, , .'icli m held Oll Monday in the Alexander park, was a greater success than heretofore, boili in exhibits and attendance, From the time of opening until the end of the (lay there was a continual stream oi people, and every car both coming and going was Idled to overflowing. Mr. R, (i. Macpherson, M. P., on opening tbe exhibition to the public, iu a brilliant speech, complimented the association and its officers on their success, and also tlie people of North Vancouver on lhe great progress being, made both as regards the town and its products, On entering the large tent containing the exhibits one was astonished at tile neatness and good judgment exercised in the choice aud placing of the exhibits. On cither side of the isle running around the inside of the enclosure, were tables covered with homegrown vegetables, fruits, honey, etc., and many novel varieties of fancy work and cushions, lt is, indeed, hard to place so much in an enclosure the size of the tent Vised without conjeslion, but Monday's display was totally devoid of any over crowding. The adaptability of those having this part of •ie work in hand was fully appreciated by the great interest shown and llie words ol admiration that was everywhere evident. lt would be indeed difficult to point out any exhibit^ that was deserving ol more praise than another. Councillor May's lucious- looking fruit elided tbe attention of all, as did also the exhibits of Reeve and Mrs. Kealy, Mr. and Mrs C. E. Keene, and Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Woods, Mr. Scbultz and ithers, The large display ol Mr. Keene was very noticeable, lhe -lock ol plums and vegetables, and also live slock being con-j -picious lor their many white tickets. Tlie apiary of Mrs. Kealy was awardrd first, after a most difficult task on the | art of lhe judges. The fancy work was perfection in itself, and to those that appreciatedcrazy work, this display was particularly creditable, Mr. Alex. Gibson captured lirst for tbe best single driver, out of a nood display. The [trackman- Ker people were awarded the lirsl prize for the besl general purpose 1 • «ml Pond's seedling—B, J.

Councillors May nnd Cornish; Thc Waterworks Intake. Owing to the excessive rain ol the past three days the Lynn Valley watershed inundated the lower portions of the valley, and tbe rippling Lynn creek became a raging torrent, rising almost fifteen (eel above ils normal level. Scleral bridges spanning its course were carried nway, and the intake of the North Vancouver Waterworks was so blocked with sand, boulders and debris that it was and is completely blocked] square!) in front ol the pipe by ibe Hood, and imlil the waters subside it will be impossible to make repairs, necessitating the closing down of the waterworks, 'I'm Express reporter visited tho Bourse ol supply of water in the I.vim Valley today, and owing to the lateness ol his return is unable to report fully, This will be done next week, along with a rough sketch of the present lay out, and alterations as recommend ed by the engineer, ])ll;-.u IU| ,„. ...... „... team, the best groomed team, and tint team having the besl kept harness.

Then 20,000 Cornllhmen tball know thu r.-iisi'ii why. Alex. Gibson, tbe vice-president, may be a good horse shoer, but he had no time to shoo Hies on Mon- dav, though. In fact, he moved so fasl that thc flies dropped exhausted trying to catch up with him. "Hoot mon," but it was"graun" to bear Secretary Robert L. Docherty's rich Doric, lt was also "unco nice" to see how be could answer seven questions at mice, and hand out tickets to six people at the same time, and never lose his temper—or make a mistake, A denial of the fact that A. D. Nye did great work as director is out ol the question. He was nigh unto the work all the time, and it is a pity that his self-sacrificing devotion to other people's inteiests sliould bave been rewarded by having all bis exhibits stolen. Tbe thief deserves the direst penalty, especially when it is known that Mr. Nye intended to present the fruit to the editor of ibis fearless exponent of the rights of the people, The Express hopes that vengeance (or this outrage will not be I). Nyed. The municipal treasurer was another bard working director, lt was wonderful how many people took to the genial Woods when in need ol advice or assistance. Another director that was very much on hand was Mr. Alex. Smith. He did not give jhe work absent treatment by long distance telephone either, He was Johnny ou the spot Irom the time the hose brigade stalled out watering thc streets in the morning till the last visitot had departed in the evening. Director Geo, A. McBain did a great deal towards winning ■uccess, both by personal work md by letting 11 splendid example n allowing excellent exhibits.

That ono so oatiri.ufi slmuuThavo met his dlyeui by crossing in front of a swiftly moving car is a curious commentary on the Ironies of .Its. Ono of His Last Visits.

He wja laughed sl j then, but lime has proved his vindicator, Port lYoni-ea sends tills story as proof thereof: Ono day a thirsty French-Canadian squaw man namo La Kebre. camo to ltalny Lake (nun '.he Selno district. On his gaudy brass watch chain hung a sparkling sinno which he bad made into a charm by twisting soma, wire around It. 11* ran into a pnispectnr named Hopes In the bar room of the hotel of the camp, and with ugly de- meaner demanded that Ropes buy hltn a drink. The old prospector's eyes had caught sight of tho at'ine dangling from '.he 'inaw man's chain and another glance was sufllcient. That's i pret'y piece of quart! you've got there," r"markisl Ropes quietly. "It you'.I givo It to mo PII buy you all tho drinks you want" The man glowered at the prespecttr for an Instant, undecided whether he was belug gtiyt-d, but Hopes' countenance was serious.

Little Toronto Rodent Waj Given Her to Eat, But Ske Adopted and Nourished It Instead. When a cat and a rat lie down together, their relative positions aro Hniinarlly Uioso of the lion and the j lamb — thi> rat, In other words, Is In-1 elds tho feline. That pre-ocoupled look] nf happInosW, supplemented by an occasional purr, which In so often ob-1 served In the case of .somnolently lazy pusnl.% is often the result, naturalists ■ say, of a juicy rat In kitty's digestive apparatus. Most Toronto eats love rats In Just j that way -for tho Bake of the loaves and the fishes, n.-t It were, There Is onu at Mlclilo and Co.'fl on King street which enjoys tho distinction of being different, says Th.' Toronto Star. It li suckling a young raL, anil whothor it in raising ll for bnu'volant purposes remains to bi' seen, Perhaps it is merely an unusually wlso cat, and Is raisins the Ll11lo rodent simply with an eye to a future repast, This theory must give place, for the present) to Borne warping of the mother Instinct, so strung in all an.mats, which has Included a very lively little rat in the comradeship of five very black and, aa yet, helpless klttrna. When a p illcoman at the corner of Kins and Yonge streets handed a young tat to Mr. Joe Wilson, of MiehJe's, a few days ago. he did not know that ho wns starting a romance In animal life, which may end In a trag-'dy Boon. Mr, Wilson, mindful of a cat at the store whloh had become the mother of five kittens, as black us herself, took thn gift In good part, 11* duly pn'scntid the rat lo Mrs. Tabby. Tli ore are no nerds extant relating to the s!<v?o of Paris which give the opinion of the rat-raters of that period as to the comparative Juicyness of ymng and old rats. It would naturally be thought that a rat so young and tender as the one which Mr. Wilson banded to the cat would be a morsel particularly tempting to anything with an appetite for Mus Decumanus, which li what the scientists say. The cat received the rat without the usual licking >f lips, In fact it slob-, bep'd the youngster over, as If II was IU own offspring, which found no trouble In making room for their much smaller comrade. Tho rat, f >r Its part, not having learned tho A II C of life | from Its people at home, snuggled down eomforta-bly In Its new nest, and partook of the same refreshment as was, afforded the little black kittens. It has been wisely said that parental favoritism Is the ruination of many a homo. Among animals, though, the mother Is often observed to deal most. kindly with her weakest offspring, and to take especial precautions to guard It from dancer, This may ex- plain why the tabby nt Michle's apparently regards the rat as the darling of her heart. Cats do not approve of the t io frequent visits of blundering humans to their homes, and Mrs. Tabby has shown her disapproval of this by moving her family three times. Her favoritism towards the rat, which she evidently thinks her smallest and weakest charge, was noticed the first time she moved. She was noticed by M*\; Wilson running off to the coal bin with the rat In ber mouth. "Now," said he, ••It's all up with the mt." Ho was! wrong. She was merely moving It be-1 fore she moved the other occupants of her first home. She foil >wed with them, .»ne by one, and set up housekeeping1 In the coal bin. It must have been a veritable feline San Francisco, and the cat soon moved — this time to a b *x. Men prominent In the study of animal life s.iy that there Is no other case on record of the kind. Some of them, in fact, laughed Incredulously when the Incident was mentioned to them. It will be Interesting to learn what happens to tho little fellow, if It Is wise, It will hie away to other haunts BJ S'>on as nature will permit. If It elects lo remain with Us fo.ster family there Is Ilkoly to be a catastrophe soon, The kittens will ba weaned, and It is i good guess that some day they too Will bSSUme that look of utter happiness which oomes to their kind after a good and Juicy meal. A'hen that happens, Mr. IUL will have mysteri msly vanished—into thin air, It might be said; but, better, into thin cat. mr uiiiem rreaeription, 'I o old ■ .il prr er pi 11 In ei Isteiico 1 'I ■ ■ of i It • tt discovered i nn Ki y\\\\ in tomb, wr' Inti oti tinpyriiH, nnd hns lif.Mi tlei phered by tin Kmrllsli profet 101 ll bears eviil.'IK.- Mini t wns lnt»Mi! ■ I I n • ■■ n linlilhuttdft] ]'. :;■ ptian .nd rend*; ii" follows I1 ■ - i-i-. it i ised part) I D i • Iln: ' In oil -'nil rn i i ■ ih the mixturt', i ■, j i] IPS uol ' ' ■ " ' ■■ pr or nol the p n 'j: rog i ned ' • ■. • hnlr.

Mr. Jajnes Harrison, the chief of police of Westmount, while ho Is as pnie- tlcal a man aa breathes, is, nevertheless, a bit of an antiquarian and archaeologist. Indeed, many years ago he had the high honor uf officially escorting the British Association for the Advancement of Science on a tour of Inspection of the historic memorials in England, including Stoneynurst College — being thoroughly equipped for the task by much personai exploration and wide reading, Mr. Harrison can tell you all about tho oid colonial raxn.ilonfl or. the sitto of the mountain, and give a history ol the families who .ive In Un-rn, says a writer In The Montreal Siandard. Hu can bring you, tor instance, tu the Haines mansion, which the strung,.: would quite miss, embowered as it is In ancient trees. This c.-lonlal mansion la over one hundred and fifty years of age. To look at 11, to take In ih* spacious grounds, the conservatory, the stables, built ti solid stone, to become measurably affected by tho sense of repose which Mils upon the spirit, at this height and In this ntll.ne.ss. Is to find the noley modem world mercifully receding from the view. One Is, Indeed, far removed from thosmota and clamors of an Industrial city. No: a sound could Invade this stlllmas, which falls upor. the city man like a benediction from the skh-a. Light Bathed Scene In Supernal Boauty In the lato afternoon the unhindered birds were singing their VStpcr song •—sweet and penetrating, and sad for the very beauty of the singing. A rich light bathed tbe scene la supernal beauty, Through an opening In the trees one saw the St. Lawrence shining like silver. In the beyond were the purple hi Us, drn-wlnjf the heart like a magnet, The air was clear and balmfui. An utter sense of rest side sweetly In upon tbo consciousness. One could have locked at the outward scene, which visitors have declared to be equal to that which Is offered at St. Cloud, in Francs, without though; of the clock, The noble oak and maple and elm trees offer a grateful shad*, nnd give a softness to the family mansion which relieves the hardness of th«- stone. There are the columns at the front entrance, the sense of length and room, of coolness, of ease, and of a world la which one need never hurry. There axe winding drives and parterres nf flowers, while a solemn hush is all per- vaolve, For generations the Raines family have lived here. I; Is still occupied by members of the same family—the pre?- e-it Mrs. Haines and several sons and daughters. In lhe old colonial days, when we had what Is called the British regime, the old mansion almost constantly gave forth LV pounds of gaiety, Formed Social World of Their Own, For It became the habit of many British oflloers who bad served In other parts of the world to come out and sot tie In Canada. Theso formed a little eoe'al world of their own. Not a few British officers built homes for themselves on the side of the mountain, These cJin be soon to this day. Then* are at least four such, still In good repair. They bave flat roofs, and If one peeped in—two of them are at present untenanted — he would see the old English open fireplace and the Iron*, tho wide room* and the stately simplicity which marked thc decorations. Then Chief Harrison would point out other old family residences given up t.> strangers — old places with privet hedges about thera, us In the Old Country, somnolent old places, screened frun tlie view, In which Itfe wns lived easily at one time. The newly-rich are, of coune, more obviously In evidence; and one onuld learn Interesting particulars of tbe way In which energetic business men had built up fortunes in the oily, and then camo out to this Ideal spot to live, themselves and their families. Such men have selected the natural coigns of 'vantage against the sldo of the mountain, and their mansions -for they are nun.skms — ztand out strikingly. They are, per Imps, a little staring, bu: time will assuage, and In a generation the map'.e will afford a grateful shade. Costly mansions, most of them, with every modern comfort and convnlence, built of pressed brick or Montreal limestone, with wide verandahs, sun from all sides, and the view commanding the St. I.*awrenee and all the alluring beyond. And some of them have gone away up until the highest peak has been reached, and thero. like an eerie, their homes are perched Some live the year round, even at tho highest altitude, while others have simply light structures suitable for the summer. Travelers Want the Bible. One of tho signs of the day Is the revival of the oid-tlme demand for the Bible, us an adjunct to tho hotel bedroom. Ten or toweJve ye.us ago every room In a hotel of any pretension had a Bible on Its bureau. Thtn It was the practice of most hotels to Include a itibie in tho list of necessary furniture. Gradually the peophi who were back of the enterprise lost interest and the books disappeared. It now seems that many persons, particularly commereiaJ travelers, complain of missing them. Frequently they read a chapter before going lo bed Just to drive away the blues, bul now they never got a chance to look inside a Bible I ms Toronto hotalkeepor has realised the need for a revival, and has given an or der for several doien Bibles.

Among ilia' out-patients of the Man- cliester Royal Infirmary is a mnn who after attaining normal development cannot slop growing, He Is suffering from a discus,' known us acromegaly, which menns un enlargement of the baines, and most obviously of tho bones of the skull, hands and feet. It Is an exceedingly rare disease, and tho case Is particularly interesting to medical men, and the patient has been the subject of a clinical lecture at the hospital. The man Is 42 yenrs of age, and the dlseaso was diagnosed nhout seven years ago, during which lime ho has developed enormously, In appearance he is not a pleasant sight. His llgure Is becoming somewhat curved and misshapen as tlie disease affecls the long bones. His Jaws are leonine In character. The lamer jaw has assumed vast proportions, the lower teeth spreading out and projecting far In front of those of the upper Jaw. Hia face is shaped somewhat llko an egg with the large end ,1 iwnward. The naise has broadened considerably and the ears are nearly as big as an ordinary person's banal, and apparently the curtilages of the larynx have thickened, as at times it is difficult to dis- tlnguisli his speech, The eyes, too, are growing bigger, lie has also developed a peculiar species of blindness known as hemianopsia, He has enormous hunds In comparison with an ordinary man. The fingers are not growing In lenglh, but thickening, and lhe palm Is getting wider. He cannot well spread out his Angers, and the tendency Is to cause the hand t'i resemble a rounded spade.
