IWuve* CHINOOK Vol. Ill, No. 5 SOUTH VANCOUVER, B.C., CANADA, SATURDAY, JUNE 13, 1914. Price 5 cents South Vancouver Will Have Her Own Representative in Dominion Parliament for First Time���South Vancouver and Point Grey Will Now Form Riding of Vancouver South Redistribution Splits Vancouver City into two Ridings and Places Burnaby in New Westminster Riding���South Vancouver Gets Fair Deal and New Order Will Lend Zest to The Political Life of the Community Much interest has been aroused throughout South Vancouver over the Redistribution Bill, which is to be brought down in the House of Commons. In the re-subdivision of British Columbia for Dominion electoral purposes, South Vancouver, with Point Grey, has been designated as the constituency of Vancouver, South. This will mean that at the next election f'T the House of Commons, the people of South Vancouver will have the privilege of electing a member of their own. Vancouver will henceforth have two seats���Vancouver and Burrard. It is said that there was a great fight between the Liberals and Conservatives on this point. Mr. H. H. Stevens, M. P., wanted Vancouver to have two members to be elected at large, and it was only after very strenuous fighting that the city was finally cut in two. British Columbia will henceforth have thirteen members in the House <ef Commons in place of seven of days gone by. The representation of the province will, doubtless, he materially changed as a result of this redistribution. Though Point Grey is combined in the new riding of Vancouver, South, the population of Seiuth Vancouver being three or four times as great as that of Point Grey, the new order of things will mean that South Vancouver will have the balance of power, and in the next parliament will have her own representative in Ottawa to fight for a square deal for the municipality from thc Dominion treasury. Just who this representative is likely to be cannot very well be guessed at from present conditions. That the Conservatives have a strong hold on South Vancouver is well known, hut the fact that South Vancouver is largely a working man's constituency will mean that ihe Liberals or the Radicals will be heard from in no uncertain tones. When the next election comes around there will be no scarcity of candidates in any of the parties. At the present moment, Mr. R. C. Hodgson looms large in the Conservative Tanks. As for thc Liberals���a prominent Liberal said, upon hearing the news of the redistribution, that there were so many strong men in the Liberal partv at this time that it would bc difficult to say just who w.euld likely turn up in the event of an election being brought on. The fact that South Vancouver has come into her own, so far as the Dominion Parliament is concerned, will lend a zest to the political life of the district. It will also mean that the Provincial authorities will have to bring on a redistribution before the next provincial election, when South Vancouver, on the basis of population, should have two or three representatives at Victoria. At present South Vancouver makes up a small part of the riding of Richmond, which is larger in area, it is said, than the whole of England, some parts of the riding not yet having been explored. Following are the divisions which have been made on the Lower Mainland; I.���The electoral district of Xew Westminster, comprising the provincial electoral districts of New Westminster city and Delta and al! that porti.m of the provincial district of Richmond lying south of Burrard Inlet, excepting the municipalities of Vancouver city, South Vancouver and Point Grey. 2.���The electoral district of Westminster, comprising thc provincial electoral districts of Dewdney and Chilliwack, and all that portion of the provincial electoral district of Yale. adjoining the provincial electoral dis- tricts of Chilliwack anil Dewdney, | bounded by a line commencing at the I southeast corner of the provincial ��� electoral district of Chilliwack. thence | easterly along the international | boundary io ils point of intersection with the westerly boumlary of the I provincial electoral disirict of Similkameen. thence northetly following I said last mentioned boundary to the I northwest corns- of the stij proviu cial electoral district of Similkameen, thence in a straight line westerly to I a point on the north hank of the Fraser River, one mi e cast of the village of Yale, thence following a straight line to the northwest corner of the provincial electoral district of Dewdney.

Mr. Oliver will confine himself to the Land Question, with which he is very familiar, and he will show how ten years of McBride administration has brought about a deplorable condition of affairs in this province, a condition which has not its parallel anywhere else on the North American continent. Mr. Macdonald will likely touch upon Federal affairs. The meeting promises to be one which will warrant the attention of all ratepayers in South Vancouver and Point Grey. It will bc of particular interest in view of the recent formation of South Vancouver and Point Grey into a Federal electoral district. Mr. Frank Henderson, prominent in the Main Street Liberal Club, has arrangements ie.r the meeting well in hand, and it is expected that the event will close a very active season of Liberal organization on the Fraser sleipc.

SIX REASONS WHICH ACCOUNT FOR THE SUPERIORITY OF CREOSOTED WOOD BLOCK PAVEMENTS ITS DURABILITY���Does not crumbfe or pulverize under the densest traffic; second only to granite blocks !*aV tsi'S "^ i �� "ef a*C? T f af af \ tf tPH' t Ft i aO1 1 ITS EASE OF REPAIR- No difficulty being experienced in removing and replacing the blocks; no expensive plane or skilled workmen required. ITS SANITARY QUALITIES���Creosote being a highly antiseptic and waterproofing material instantly destroys all germs, prevents the absorption of street filth and consequent decay. ITS NOISELESSNESS���The rattle and bang of vehicles passing over its smooth surface absorbed and muffled till the quiet of the dirt road is obtained. ITS DUSTLESSNESS���Does not pulverize; the heaviest traffic only pounding down the wood fibres to offer the greater resistance. ITS CLEANLINESS���Having a smooth surface and being waterproof it does not differ in this respect from asphalt. We manufacture blocks of the highest possible standard, the verv best materials only being used and in the DOMINION WOOD BLOCKS we believe we produce an article that has no equal.

SIX REASONS WHICH ACCOUNT FOR THE SUPERIORITY OF CREOSOTED WOOD BLOCK PAVEMENTS ITS DURABILITY���Does not crumble or pulverize under tlie densest traffic; second only to granite biocks ITS EASE OF REPAIR���No difficulty being experienced in removing and replacing the blocks; no expensive plane or skilled workmen required. ITS SANITARY QUALITIES���Creosote being a highly antiseptic and waterproofing material instantly destroys all germs, prevents the absorption of street filth and consequent decay. ITS NOISELESSNESS���The rattle and bang of vehicles passing over its smooth surface absorbed and muffled till the quiet of the dirt road is obtained. ITS DUSTLESSNESS���Does not pulverize; the heaviest traffic only pounding down the wood fibres to offer the greater resistance. ITS CLEANLINESS���Having a smooth surface and being waterproof it does not differ in this respect from asphalt. We manufacture blocks of the highest possible standard, the verv best materials only being used and in the DOMINION WOOD BLOCKS we believe we produce an article that has no equal.

T THE GREAT PAGEAST 'HIS is the week of the Pageant. Vancouver is enjoying the biggest fete in hcr history. Too much credit cannot be given the self-sacrificing men and women who have spent weeks in arranging the various departments of the celebration. South Vancouver figures more prominently in thc Pageant than any of the municipalities surrounding the parent city. This is an encouraging sign. We have had hard times on the coast���at least hard times as compared with conditions here during the first twelve years of the century. Iu the Talmud it is stated that sicknesses are really blessings, being sent from above to warn and protect men and women. If this is true as regards individuals, it is also true as applied to communities. The business sickness from which Greater Vancouver is recovering has not been without salutary results. It has had the effect of developing a community spirit in Greater Vancouver which cannot be better typified than in the proceedings of tiie great Pageant. Mr. R, \V. Holland, vice chairman of the Pageant committee, expressed the feelings of all public sonled citizens when he wrote: "If Vancouver is to take her rightful place among the cities of the Pacific Coast as a great tourist centre and as one of the Great Convention Cities of the Amer- THE B. C. LAND QUESTION IT is a commonplace for men in British Columbia today to state that they are "land poor." If the land of British Columbia could speak, there is little doubt but that its first complaint would be, "I am poor." All intelligent men will agree that the great obstacle which stands between British Columbia and permanent prosperity is a matter of many millions of acres of farm lands which are at present held by speculative interests. .Mr. John Oliver states on the platform that thirty miles from Fort George, in no man's land, areas which might be suitable for fanning purposes are held at the rate of forty dollars an acre. One would have to travel several days' journey from Vancouver to find a piece of property purchasable under one thousand to two hundred dollars an acre. It would seem that the policy of thc Provincial government has been to retard the development of farm lands rather than assist the people towrds a point where the people of British Columbia might grow enough foodstuffs to feed the people of British Columbia. If the government of British Columbia were interested in the formation of a land policy, the members of that body of statesmen might look up Canadian history and turn the pages back to 1829. Eighty-five years ago, thc government of Upper Canada had a land policy and it was a more useful and vigorous one than ever was heard promulgated by the present government of British Columbia. It must have worked successfully for, than the Province of Ontario today, there is no more bountiful combination of communities in the British Empire. In the Canadian "News." of London, England, a curious old document has been reprinted in fac simile, which was issued in 1829 from the office of His Majesty's resident agent for the superintendence of settlers and emigrants in the "Canadas." at Quebec in 1829. There, in the opening paragraph, is stated emphatically that lands "will be granted on very easy terms to industrious families who are possessed of means of bringing them under cultivation." "His Excellency, the Governor-General," runs the proclamation, "has been pleased to order to be reserved the township of Opps, in the District of Newcastle, Upper Canada, for the reception of industrious emigrants who may arrive from the United Kingdom, during the present season, and who may he disposed to settle in the Province; the price fixed for these THE BCX >K OF THE PAGEANT is a work which, should be in the hands of every citizen who has any pride in thc community. It remained for a South Vancouver man. Mr. J. Francis Bursill, to superintend the compilation of the book and to prepare many of the most interesting features, both prose and poetry, contained within its covers. The book was printed by the Linguistic Press with an accuracy, balance and artistic finish which reflects creditably upon that progressive firm. * * * lill'.

With a spectacular and distinctive Summer Festival at the beginning of the Summer season and a great Fair and Exposition at the end, carried on from year to year as special attractions to thousands of visitors, we will build up a permanent and lasting advertisement of our city that will repay our citizens a thousand fold for all the effort and money they may invest in them. "This 'Pageant of Vancouver' is our first effort. Be charitable in your judgment; we will gain experience and enthusiasm as we proceed. It has been a very great pleasure to me to give any assistance that I could towards the inception and carrying out of this our First Summer Festival." Furthermore, the proclamation states that tickets would be supplied from Quebec to the land bein thrown open and concludes. "These lands are distant from Quebec about thirty-six to forty miles on the south side of the St. Lawrence, with a good road nearly all the way. New roads are being opened into the land which will afford employment to settlers. The climate is exceedingly healthy. Many Scotch, English and Irish arc already located in this part of the country." Eighty-five years ago, the government of Upper Canada was wise, as we say, to the land speculator. They wanted only bona fide settlers in those times. In the reign of George IV, nearly half a century before Sir Richard McBride was born, it was possible for the Canadian Provinces to outline a land settlement policy which was identical in many ways to the splendid colonization system at present being conducted by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Blessed with a fertile soil, which in many parts of the south is peculiarly suited for the raising of valuable crops as fruit, her mineral wealth is also alone sufficient to ensure her a great economic future. To crown all, British Columbia possesses the finest stand of virgin timber now existing, within the same area, on the North American continent. The potential value of this asset, as soon as the Panama Canal is opened, it wouhl be difficult to estimate. It i.s a significant fact that fully one-half��� some authorities think more than one-half���of British Columbia's commercial timber is held by American speculators, who must have locked up a very large amount of capital in the standing forests of the province. Like other parts of Western Canada, British Columbia has suffered during the past eighteen months from the financial stringency, which has to some extent checked building and other work that might have been undertaken with advantage. The position in this respect, however, has sensibly improved during the past three months, and already applications for building permits in Vancouver and other important centres in this province are showing a remarkable increase,���Winnipeg Post. * * * I'rcjer lhe Candour of Ihe Southern Seas.

He caressed the woman and now and then lie caught the maiden in his arms and kissed her mi the cheeks and stroked her jet black tresses. In thfisc days, my children, British Columbia was the home of the Sun The woman on the sea shore was his wife and they called her the South Wind. The child was their daughter, whom the Sun loved dearly, and for whom he always took home from his regular marches out over the Pacific gifts fr nn strange and far away lands. Sometimes the South Wind made great journeys with her mighty hus band, and the little daughter sometimes wenl with her parent!. This day the Sun would go alone and the Seeuth Wind and her happy, hiving offspring were le, stay to make the gpple orchards of lhe Hritish Columbia "I those days bloom, and tee warm the hearts of the r.isehuds and to tan the cheeks <jf the babies.

The Xnrtli wind ruled by force over his country; the Sim by kindness. The N'orth Wind was loved by none and he was jealous of the Sun and his gentle, kind -.ife and loving daughter. From a great hill lhe N'orth Wind uftimes spied upon the family of the Sun. Hi's envy finally knew no bounds, He ceuild not fight against the Sun, as man to man, but in bis evil mind a plot was formed and he swore that he wemld humble thc Sun. He would take tei his great, cold castle a wife���and that wife would be the Sun's own daughter! Pof many days the North Wind watched. Finally he made up his mind that when the Sun would start out alone on his long journey over the Pacific, he would wait until his neighbor was well out of sight, then he would thunder down upon the happy home and carry out his evil plot. * * ��� Evening was falling upon the Pacific and the South Wind took her daughter by the hand and together they turned from their play ground by the sea. Suddenly a terrific sound smote upon their ears. The earth seemed to quake tinder foot and behind them thc sea was lashed into a fury. Thc Semth Wind caught up her daughter. Fear took hold of them. In a moment the cruel, ugly North Wind was upon them. Madly the North Wind tried to strike down the mother. The daughter cried out as the South Wind tried in vain to fight off the wicked one. But this battle was short. Leaving the mother wounded on the sands, the North Wind grabbed into his arms the helpless girl and made off with her towards the wild, wicked north. * * * Bound homeward from a sea-faring trip who should meet the Sun that afternoon, just as he had passed beyond the sight oi his dear ones, but the West Wind���thc happy, smiling, strong West Wind who would rather fight than eat and who would rather fight for fair women than for any other cause. The Sun had always been a friend of the West Wind and plans were made on that ocean meeting that the West Wind should make a visit lo the home of the Sun. The cries of the daughter had reached the sharp cars of the good West Wind far out on the Pacific. He felt there was danger and full speed, he rushed to the coast. He spictl the South Wind fallen as in a faint; he saw the North Wind with his crying captive. Like a shot from a cannon hc sped after the North Wind, overtook him. and bade him combat. The murderous North Wind struck at the youth and tried to escape with his victim. The West Wind had courage. He blocked the way of the Northern robber and jumped upon him. There took place then a great battle, a battle of giants. Up and down Ihe shore il raged and so fierce was it that the earth trembled and shoeik and breike into pieces along thc cuast. (In thc land and in the sea the bailie continued. The smooth, even coast line was broken by the heels of the combatant! and from the huge deeds eif earth which were dallied about the islands of thc present Uriiish Columbia coast were formed and from thc wrestling and rolling over and over of these giants in their awful light, thc earth was dug up and fur- re, wed and the mountain ranges of today arc thc result and the white peaks tire links of the coat e.f mail lost by the N'orth Wind in that light. On the morning of the first day the Sun came home and when he saw the bleeding form of Ihe South Wind as she sat iv the raging sea, and found the land broken and scattered, he was much angered; when hc found that his daughter had been stolen away, his heart was sad. And he took thc South Wind by the hand and led hcr away to another land. Ever since that time the South Wind has pined for her lost baby and she mourns for her every year. And so she comes to the land which is now British Columbia, where once upon a time she was so happy, and shc weeps for her little, lost lassie. And her tears form the winter rains of this hind which was once the home of the Sun. ��� �� * After many days the battle of the North Wind and the West Wind was decided. It was a cruel light; but a fight where the good defeated evil. Battered and bleeding, the North Wind was finally overcome and he slunk off to his barren wilds, and as he limped over the broken earth his wounds gushed forth blood, And for this blood men and women fight today, my children, for it has been transformed through thc ages into gold and so the streams and hills of the Yukon and Alaska and Hritish Columbia, in the land where that great fight was fought, lure gold seekers from all parts of the earth. He e(. * Blinded and torn, thc West Wind found the maiden whose mother was the South Wind and whose father was the Sun, and he raised hcr up gently and nursed her. And the West Wind builded her a great castle and gave hcr food and clothing and servants. Travellers may sec the place on their way through the Canadian Rockies and they call it Castle Mountain. There the West Wind 'aced her and there, thc Indians say, she has her home today. Out from her rugged castle walls thc blind maiden walks in the evening time. Where hcr foot falls flowers spring up, and where shc waves her slender hand gardens and orchards flourish, and she causes thc birds to sing wherever she goes and the grasses to grow rich and green for the cattle. And when she steps out on the prairies in thc cold winter, the snows disappear and the wheat grows strong and rugged and heavy headed. She is the western princess of peace, good harvests and happiness. Her name is Chinook. Mount Pleasant Undertaking Co.

Shortly afterward an Epworth League was organized with Mr, Frank Harford as first president. Thc league is still alive and is in for active service, Miss M. Manuel is the president. In 1911 a contract for building a parsonage was let to Mr. George L. Grcenlay, and was finished in August of the same year. Thc building is a 7-room structure not over large, but fairly so, and very comfortable and cost nearly $2300. The property is in good shape, 3 lots, church and parse,nagc, and a debt upon it of $2700. The membership at present is 100, the enrolment of thc Sunday school over 250, Mr. J. T. Reid is the superintendent. There is a very live Junior Epworth League, with an average attendance of 48, under the presidency of Mr. Leonard Ward, and Miss Ida Howard, secretary, and Mrs. Jacques, superintendent. The choir is under the charge of Mr. I). Gavet, and is loyally and faithfully helping to make the church services interesting and profitable. The late leader of the choir, Mr. T. Coltart, did splendidly and his work was much appreciated. The Ladies' Aid is well officered, having Mr. I). Gavet president, Mrs. M. F. Finlay, secretary, and Mrs. J. D. Millar, treasurer. Meetings are hehl regularly on thc first Wednesday in the month. The officers of the church are all true men who work loyally with the minister. Mr. W. A.

There arc two adult bible classes, a senior and a junior, under the presidency of Mr. John Cuthbert, and Mr. Harry Penn.

GOODS AND BE AN EMPIRE BUILDER Rev. John Pye, late pastor of Ferris Road Methodist Church, was born in England in 1860. At the age of 6 the father died and left three boys to the care of a widowed mother, who in the fear of God sought to bring up her children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In those days the school master was not abroad, educational advantages were few, but the few that were available were made the best of. In the year 1883 he became a local preacher in the Wath-on-Dcarne circuit. He lived in the village of Wombwell and had charge of the Netherwood Hall flour mill, run by Messrs. Shaife Bros., kindly men, whose memory is precious. Early in 1886 he received the appointment as hired local preachin the Pontypridd circuit, South Wales. The Rev. John Havelock Thompson, had charge of the little Rhonda Valley, and in his home he resided. For eighteen months he was under the care of this excellent minister, who directed his studies and gave valuable assistance. In August 1887 he set sail for Newfoundland and was accepted as a candidate for tlie ministry in thc Newfoundland conference. Was ordained in 1891 and married Miss Halfyard, who has been, and is. a most valuable helpmeet. There is living one daughter, Annctta. For 13 years he labored in Newfoundland, making many friends. In 1900 he was transferred to British Columbia and was Stationed in Trail, another year spent in Sandon, then four years in the Nicola Valley, four yens in Salmon Arm and four years in Ferris Road. Some measure of success has attended his labors as is evidenced by ciation. He is of retiring disposition, docs not seek publicity, is content to do thc work of a pastor, and finds great joy in the noble work to which he has devoted time and strength.

Paul, in The Ferris Road Methodist Church In South Hill services wcre first held in thc home of Mrs. M. A. Green on 47th Ave. East by the Rev. Mr. Whittaker, who was at that time stationed at Mountain View. In 1909 the late Rev. J. F. Betts and the sites committee of the Vancouver Extension Society secured three lots at the corner of ��� Ferris Road (51st Ave.) and George Street. In 1910 plans were made for a church and the contract to build the same was awarded to Mr. J. T. Reid. The cost of the building alone was nearly 2000 dollars not including the furnishings; the building is 28x50 with a large basement which is at present used as a Sunday school room. The church was dedicated on thc first Sunday in May 1910 by the President of the Conference, Rev. James Colvert, B.D. At that time this neighborhood was mostly bush with a few houses, but men had faith in the district, which since then has grown very rapidly. The first Sunday in June 1910 thc Rev. John Pye came from Salmon Arm and took charge of the church. Immediately a Sunday School was organized, with Mr. W. H. Ebume, superintendent, and Mr. Chester Green, secretary, and a quarterly Official Board was organized with Mr. Chester Green as recording steward, W. H. Eburne. treasurer and Mrs .,��� , . -��� . . ,--.-= ,M. A. Green, president of the Ladic the many who have expressed appre-'Aid and Mr. T. Coltart, choir master. writing to the Romans, gave cxpres- siim tej a desire "that Israel might bc saved." This is the seal of any activity that is for thc good of the race. A man sees conditions that arc intolerable, unjust, etc., immediately the thought or desires born to attend to those things that need attention. This is the starting point and its importance is apparent upon reflection. Ministers of the gospel, christian people, and Christian parents do well to get upon their heart the great need of thc spiritual good of the people. A desire that they might show diligence in that which is for their higher good. Men generally do not need exhorting to show diligence in advancing their temporal interests, but thc higher concerns .if mind and spirit are too often neglected and the constant need of exhortation to attend to these things is very real. The true vocation of a minister of the gospel is to save souls and feed the flock of God, No work is of such magnitude and Importance as this, and happy is the man whu is not turned aside from this object hy any other consideration. Having said that, it does not follow that that is the only object of thc minister's calling. Surely the physical needs, and thc mental needs of the people call for attention, but the supreme purpose of the minister's work is to persuade men to he reconciled to God. Here I wish tn say that if I know anything nf my own heart it is that steadily 1 have during thc past four years ��� f my pas' here kept this object in view. I have Bought you and not yours. What success has attended my efforts only eternity will reveal. My prayers and study in preparing feir the Sabbath services, and in visitation have all tended in this defection. Many expressions of appreciation have been heard, for which I am grateful. What is success? That's the question. I know what is generally regarded as success, but what I regard as success is the real and permanent spiritual goeed that comes to the lives of men, the power of the Holv Spirit ennobling them to live godly lives, making them better citizens, directing the thoughts and lives of the little children ever toward those higher attainments which are within the reach of all. The desire of the writer was that these Hebrew people might show the same diligence. The same as that manifested in the earlier period of their christian life. A subtle and very dangerous temptation besets every christian man, in fact every man, the getting used to a thing. Men get used to danger and risks and loose the sense of danger and risks. It is so in the christian life. It is always perilous to let out too much slack. The I tension needs to be kept tight. It is possible to be too narrow, too particular, but generally the greater evil 'is in the other direction. Show diligence. Let it be in evidence that religion is a matter of business, and go about that business as though it meant something���as a matter of life or death. It was said of the early preacher that "these men turned the world upside down." Ministers and members do well to keep at il and always at it. May you so continue. A change of pastors should not bc an occasion for any one identified with this church te, be less diligent in the work for which thc church stands. A minister of the gospel'cBn- not accomplish much single hanged, bul when he knows that he basilic sympathetic co-operation of his, jjjjio- ple it is much easier for him. Paltiprs come and go but the churc hemiins. God has called each one and,.wid "Pein, go work today in My vineyarSd." Shall we not heed the call and/etihe command? So long as we are iu,>'the flesh we must be about our Master's business. "What I say unto ope I say unto all, Watch." These ar^ the words of our Lord and Master. ;,<'j At a time like this there are many things one would like to say but-we must forbear. These links of love and fellowship that bind us together will not be broken. Our bodies will separate but we are one in heart. Our prayers will ever ascend to God for his blessing to be upon you and yours, and upon the new pastor. Here I would like to express my gratitude to the e.ffirials of the church for their loyal and ready support in the different projects which we have had in view. Among us here there has been perfect harmony and while our viewpoint may have been different, our nne aim has ever been "the good of the cause." To the members and adherents our wish and prayer is expressed in the words of the text. And now we go our way, our task here is done: we have sown the seed. May God give the increase.

"Aren't yen well" he asked abruptly, lor lie missed her cheerful laconically) and the lanky journalist singing. "It's only the cough," she said neeticcd feir the first time that she had really beautiful eyes. He looked at the thin blue dress shc wore. "Why don't you wear warmer clothes?" he asked. She Hushed and laughed a little. "Servants always have tee wear print frocks," shc said. There was something mocking in her voice, and the lanky journalist went on Ins way into the lueiise with a feeling oi annoyance. Tlle morning following this comment about her cough he looked at hcr interestedly. She was certainly a very good class girl for a servant; he noticed that she had small, well-kept hand and neat feet���hands that did not look as if they were used to hard or rough work���and yet he knew that she cleaned his boots as well as the steps, and that his hoots were often coated with mud. Things were quiet at the office that evening, and he came home lo thc dinner which he called "supper" because he ate it alone and generally in his shirt-sleeves. He kicked off his wet boots while the- girl was arranging the table and left them at right angles on the rug; the girl stooped and picked them up. The lanky journalist watched her. "What is yeiur name?" he asked. The girl hesitated, she looked somehow surprised. "The call me Jane here," she said at length. The girl looked at him and then down at thc foot-gear which she held still. "It's time you had some new boots," she sod celeelly. The lanky journalist stared; then he le'.-t his temper and told her lo mind her own business. Hut he benight a pair of new heeots ���a nice pair, with glace tops and patent leather toe-caps, and he paid a guinea for them. The lirst time lie wore them he watched Jane from behind his newspaper when she brought his supper, fe.r the beiots wcre standing side by sieie in all their new smartness, like children in their party frocks, waiting to be admired; hut she whisked them up and carried them away without comment The lanky journalist felt absurdly disappointed; it seemed somehow like a guinea wasted. At the end of the week, when he paid his bill, lie fancied that the landlady eyed him rather anxiously; shc walked' t'i the door, hesitated, and then came back. "I hope, Mr. Gordon," she said hesitatingly, "that there arc no com- , plaints. . ! "Complaints!" the lanky journalist was genuinely surprised; he had lived at No. 1 for twei years, and Could n'.'t j remember that he had ever onci found fault with the menage. Mrs Crihb looked apologetic. ������Mr. Smlthson has been complaining," she explained unctously. "In fact, lie's given in It i ��� notice; sei I llieiuglil perhaps���" she broke ott plaintively. Mr. C.ribb ch sed the door anel came: nearer. "It's owing i e Jane," she saiel oon-t fidentlally. "Jane!" the lanky journalist was' inten sted now. "Yes. Mr. Gordon. Mr. Smithson complained thai she was impertinent to him. 1 spoke lee Jane about it. and j she -aiel that she would leave ii he 'Inl not, and she's such a good girl. Ii may she's an absolute treasure; so | i I told Mr. Smithson I would accept j his notice. 1 can always get guests in mv house. 1 am glad to sav. but nowadays servants are not so plentiful." I "Ah!" said the lanky journalist absently. ! "So I thought I'd better mention it I to you. Mr. Gordon," Mrs Gribh con-| tinned impressively. "The girl is yeiung. and if she's ever been impertinent to you���" "Good Leird. no! Shc never speaks to me." Mrs. Crihb beamed. "That takes a great worry off my mind." she said, mollified "I should bc very sorry if there was to bc any unpleasantness with you after all these years. Mr. Cordon." She rctireel with a great creaking of resoled shoes. The lanky journalist looked at Jane curiously the next time shc came into bis room. She carried her head a trifle higher than usual, he thought, hut when their eyes mit is shc -it the tray down tiiere was juM a suspicion of a smile ill In r- Tbe lanky journalise] plucked up courage "So Mr Smithi >ii- leaving, i- ��� -;ne| "Ye -" Sin ������ ned a knife mi the cloth "I boxed his i ars," she added calmly; tl" >> she laughed.

"I always thought the- man was a cad," said the lanky journalist, but it u doubtful whether she heard him. A few nights later the lanky journalist had a couple of tickets feer a theater given to him He brought them home when he came in for his tea and stuck Ihcm up em the shelf. The lanky journalist was fed-up with theaters, he had been to so many; vi when Jane brought in his tea he asked if shc would care tee have them. He asked hesitatingly, because he was really rather afraid of Jane; but she took thc offer very well. "Thank you." she said, "but I have no one to go with, and I dee not care to go myself." The lanky journalist loeekcd at her. and then���metBphosically���he looked over the work waiting inr him to dee; he took a deep breath and decided that the work could wati. "If vou will allow me to go with you." he said; "I should be only too pleased." She stared; for quite ten seconds she looked at him in such absolute silence that he began to get reel; then she gave him a little laugh. "You would not be pleased if I wcre to take you at your word." she said. He rose to his feet; he looked angry now and more lanky than usual as he stood there in the cheery firelit room, glowering down at her. "That :s an undeserved sn.-er.' 'he said hotly. "My offer was nuie genuine. I am not a cad���like Smithson." "I have never compared you with Mr. Smithson���not even in my mind��� and I am quite sure that if 1 went enjoys ourselves very much. It would be tomorrow when you will probably see mc cleaning the steps pgain that you would wonder why een earth yeeu wcre so foolish!' "Oh, it isn't emly you!" she broke out as he weeuld have spoken; 'Hut jail men!

She walked out of thc en. and the lanky journalist swore so'tly as li ��� threw the theatre tickets into the lire. Half an hour later she brought him a telegram Thc lanky journalist was fitting in jan armchair with Ilis feet -tuck up on I another he had made a roaring lire ! and mixed himself h.,: toddy.

In his report to the council, Building Inspector Hubbard said in refer-! ring tn the issuing of a building permit lee a Hindu for a milk dairy at 5193 Thirty-seventh avenue without j 'the consent of the council, that the application complied with the requirements 'if the Provincial Act and the local bylaws then in his possession, "I had no knowledge whatever! I at that time, April 28," stated the in-j spector, "that any amended bylaws I dealing with such cases were in ex-1 istence. Moreover it was over two I weeks afterwards when 1 accident-J .ally learned of such." Mr, Hubbard I contended that copies of any amend-; ments to bylaws should have been1 given to him on his appointment ill March, when he would have acted in I accordance with thc amended by- ! laws. In regard to the building of a danc-, ing platform at Cedar Cottage, In-I spector Hubbard stated that tlle roller coaster company was working en-! tirely on a permit issued on July 7,! 1913, valued at $10,000, of which $6000 had been spent, and he pointed out that according to the bylaws building permits expire "if active work is not commenced within a period of six months from the date of its issue." Mr. Hubbard also stated that the previous day he was informed by the owner that a dancing license had been granted for three months' service, to be used on completion of the platform. The report of the building inspector was laid over for further consideration.

Calgary, June 10.���Writing a descriptive story of the Black Diamond well, J. M. D. Ritchie, a well-known newspaperman, has a lot to say of this properly which has been the subject of many remarkable rumors. Mr. Ritchie writes as follows : Tlle sight sent a chill through the small group of beholders, and when due consideration is given to the fact that the latter were newspapermen men���accustomed to coming into close contact daily with the tragedies that sadden human existence���then it will be admitted without question that the vision was one of dreadful portent. And So, for the moment, it seemed. Deep down in the bowels of the earth there glared a baleful light of a malignity so intense as lo conjure up within the imagination a fancy that the evil one himself was gazing upwards in wrath at the mortals who had dared to peer into the domain where the powers of darkness arc said to hold eternal sway. But the situation In reality lacked those essentials which go towards the formation of a piece of news calculated to staagger humanity. Though the setting was dramatic, it contained no blood-curdling mystery, and therefore comes under the category of tilings prosaic and easy of understanding. For the baleful eye, apparently suffused with deadly venom of a capacity infinite, was nothing but a common piece of waste that for a few brief moments had been engulfed in a brilliant bluish llame, and had now become shorn of its splendor and was rapidly sinking into invisibility in the saturnine depths of the Black Diamond well. richest oil fields ill the known history of the world. I did not expect to bc held up by a man with a gun or dogs endowed with the lust for human Mesh, because I was aware of the fact that the property had been thrown open to the public by thc directorate. However, it may not be amiss to note among the things I first observed on entering upon the property were thc sleeping forms of four dogs that had evidently enjoyed a hearty dinner���a discovery which I must confess created a considerable feeling of assurance. Then on stepping inside the wooden structure at the base of the derrick I beheld suspended by a hook on the wall near the door a gun of patriarchal design. Later in the day eeiir of the visitors soberly informed me that the gun referred to was the one from which had been fired a bullet that had narrowly missed sending the great Napoleon to his death on j tlie fatal field of Waterloo. As to whether or not this story |is worthy of a place on the white |summit of the mountain of veracity, I cannot state, and the only comment that seems advisable is that it possesses thc flavor characteristic of the vast majority of the stories that have passed from mouth tei mouth respecting the Black Diamond well. The bald truth regarding this well can be summed up briefly. Up to date no strike of oil has been made at the well, which has now reached a depth of 1,625 feet. However, I was shown by Mr. George E. Buck, managing director of the company, a large can containing black oil which had heen skimmed from off the top of the contents of the baler on various occasions since the Dakota sands Juvenile Court The ceimmittee of executive of th' Social and Moral Reform Council of Seeuth Vancouver expect to meet the members of the council as soon as a date ran he arranged, to go into the subject of a Juvenile Court for South Vancouver. into the well. There followed instantly a huge flame that was accompanied by a startling explosive sound far down in the hole, and it was after one of these that the assembled company risked falling off the wejoden platform which stands 12 feet abeve the orifice in order that they might look down into the well, and catch a glimpse of the flaming waste as it descended to the bottom. Indeed there is so much gas in the well that Driller Hayes expressed the opinion that he thought considerable risk of serious damage to the derrick was involved hy the dropping of waste into it. The idea was strengthened when a few minutes later about 30 persons who had made the trip down to the property surrounded the well, and the waste demonstration was again given. On this occasion the explosion was of such a character as the well, it is not difficult to under- lo greatly alarm the spectators, and two men rushed backwards so hurriedly from the opening that they |Stumbled and fell over a piece of pip- [ing. Driller Interviewed I had a very interesting conversation with Driller Hayes. He impressed me as lieing a man both modest and sincere. Mr. Hayes has had over thirty years' experience in the oil I fields oi the United States, and has been engaged iu connection with thc drilling of many hundreds of wells. [He stated that from present indication- he was satisfied that a body of ���crude oil wemld be struck at Black Diamond, and that tiie strike would |be made before the drill had penetrated a depth of 2.000 feet. He had never seen in all his experience black eeil e,f tlic character which hail been [obtained from the well, but he felt lhat when the main body was reach* I eii the oil would be lighter. The same spirit of optimism prevailed among the other five employees ion the property, and as thay are all | personally interested in the success of stand that they will put forth every effort t.. read the "fluid which they firmly believe lies somewhere beneath the point of the drill. The Black Diamond property is picturesquely situated on the banks of Sheep Creek. The derrick stands on an eminence, while down below in a miniature valley sheltered from every 'wind that blows is the camp, which is easily the most inviting in appearance on thc oil fields at the present moment, and in this respect at any rate Black Diamond leads all its competitors. I cannot conclude this article on Black Diamond without reiterating in a sentence the tenor of all that has gone before. The Black Diamond company is deeing everything humanly possible to reach the oil, and their prospects of doing so are as fair and hopeful as looked the camp yesterday, when it lay bathed in the light of the summer sun, bounded on one side by thc river, with its several little homes sheltered and shaded hy the SUtrQIUlding hills and the green foliage oi lhe trees.

The incident occurred in the bright sunshine and served to prove beyond question lhe assertion that has been made for some time by the directors | of the company that there was a huge volume of gas emanating from the well. And in writing this little story of my trip to the Black Diamond property yesterday it is scarcely necessary for me to mention what is well known to the citizens of Calgary, that assertions regarding this well have been about as numerous as the sands of the seashore. Stories���some of them of colossal absurdity���have been circulated about the Black Diamond well. Personally, within the bast month, I have been informed by men whom society never expects to send to Ponoka, that the Black Diamond company was not drilling a well; that it never intended to drill a well; that when the first load of lumber arrived on tlle property there was a woman there with a gun at thc persuasive point of which shc forced the intruders to remove to another part of the universe because the mineral rights actually belonged to her; and to crown all. that the said woman had been paid by the Black Diamond company to play this dramatic role because the board of management wanted an excuse for not drilling. Relic of Waterloo These and other tales of a similar character recalled themselves to mind as the car in which I journeyed rapidly covered the distance separating the city of Calgary from what all confidently expect will develop into the were reached, 1,380 feet below the surface. Neither the drill nor the baler were in operation yesterday, but 1, personally, have no dubiety as to the honesty.ol the statement made by ,\1r. Buck, which was corroborated by Mr. J W. Hayes, chief driller, and several other employes. Moreover, an inspection of the dumping ground where the dark-hucd sands lay piled revealed evidence of the presence of oil. Many members of the public will doubtless have wondered why it is that since striking the Dakota sands the drill of thc Black Diamond has not gone down at a greater rate of speed, and probably the majority are in blissful ignorance of the fact that the Dakota sands form the hardest strata through which the drill has to pass. Indeed the tirst 200 feet of these sands proved about as hard as granite. Some idea of the texture of this strata may be gathered from the statement that frequently it has occurred that the well has been deepened by only two feet after twelve hours of continuous pounding by the drill. However, the sands are beginning to display less resistance to the progress of the drill. Night and day shifts commenced to run on Saturday, and it is believed that ftom now on the well will he deepened bv at least 10 feet daily. Volume of Gas As for the manifestations of the presence of oil in the well, I witnessed along with several other newspaper men what happened when two pices of lighted waste were thrown Calgary, June 10.���The fair members of the Calgary Women's Press Club firmly believe that a great future awaits the oil fields and as proof of their optimism, it is of interest to note that at a meeting of the club held it was decided to invest $50 in oil stock. Just what companies this money will be invested in is a matter that may require thc holding of several extraordinary meetings of the club, hut it may be taken for granted that the prospectuses of the various companies will undergo a most scrupu.ous examination before the funds of thc press club are entrusted to their keeping. A committee has been appointed to handle this matter and the fact that the convencrship of this committee is held by Miss Ilutton, who is herself a broker, warrants the opinion that if there is any money to be made from the oil fields the members of thc Calgary Women's Press Club will get their full share. Another organization composed of members of the gentler sex has seen fit to take a flutter in oil, is the Mothers' Club of Connaught School. This club is in the happy position of having funds in excess, and the mothers have shown themselves to he possessed of sufficient enterprise to invest $50 in United Oils. The profits that may accrue from this source are to be devoted to the purchase of a Victor-Victrola for the school. Banquet.
