The assembling of Parliament in Canada and the Old Country is always accompanied liy a more or less lavish display of wealth in the shape of liveried men and gorgeously-costum- ed women. If these things were lacking at Smith Mill no excuse is needed, for otherwise the proceedings were as near as possible a reproduction in ;i "mock" way of what usually takes place at these assemblies. True, there was no attempt at searching the vaults for a modern Guy l-'awkcs, The majority of the members being composed of business men and "working plugs," they, no doubt, do enough we.rk in the vaults at other times in the shape of sawing Wood and breaking coal to be bothered abeiut any imaginary "guy." There were no gaily-emblazoned carriages and high-stepping steeds, not even an ordinary auto. There being only one chamber in this Parliament, it wouhl only be natural that it should bc highly democratic and a blue ticket on the B, C. Electric was quite enough extravagance. It was whispered that some of the labor members bad even been seen "hoofing it" from their mansions hard by, . bus doth time and manners change! The council chamber was crowded to its utmost capacity when proceedings commenced. It was plainly evident thai one of tbe lirst problems of tile Government would be to provide ways and means for the enlargement of the legislative chamber. The public gallery was uncomfortably crowded and the ladies, who were provided with seats to tbe right of ���be Speaker, were also in evidence. The strength of the parties, so far as could bc ascertained in the usual burly-burly of the opening session, was Conservatives, 20; Liberals, 11; Labor, 11, giving the total of forty- two seats as prescribed by the constitution. A full, detailed report of the members names and the constituencies they represent, will appear in next week's "Chinook." On the motion of Prime. Minister Lester, seconded by another member of the Government, Mr. F. Way, Conservative, was elected Speaker. The House being now constituted, the Speaker intimated that the Lieutenant-Governor had arrived. Preceded by Sergeant Bramwell, carrying the mace, and who made an admirable "Black Rod," Reeve Kerr, in his newly acquired honor, was ushered in, the members standing meanwhile. It showed the seriousness with which the members took the proceedings ivhen il i.s mentioned that during the whole time the Lieutenant-Governor was in the chamber there was not a single cough ���not even a "giggle" from lhe fair sex. Th-; labor members, of course, with their usual scorn of red tape, couldn't repress a quiet chuckle. The Lieutenant-Governor then delivered the speech from lhe Throne, which was as follows: Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly: In welcoming yem to Ihis session of the Parliament of Hritish Columbia, it affords me pleasure to recall that during the past year lhe Province was honored by a visit freun Ilis Royal Highness, ilu- Governor-General, accompanied by '1 heir Royal Highnesses, the Duchess nf Connaught and Princess Patricia. The cordial welcome ihey received, together with the interest they evinced in lhe Province, must be regarded with much gratification by the people of British Columbia. In assuming your duties, yem will find that during the year the Province has enjoyed exceptional prosperity. The Province has also gained largely by immigration. The financial condition of the Province continues most satisfactory, the surplus and revenue enabling the continuance of necessary expenditure for the growing needs of the Province. British Columbia fruit and agricultural products hold the same high place in this continent and Great Britain, as in former years. It is interesting to note tbat the results of the mining industry have surpassed those of any similar period in the history of the Province. Railway construction and extension, due to the aid given by the Province, has been most marked. The plans of these various lines are being substantially carried out, and their completion may be expected well within the time set by law. Owing to the approaching completion of the Panama Canal, it is desirable that the interests of British Columbia should not be overlooked. I am sure that you will generously support the Federal Government in its efforts to secure adequate recognition of all rights to which Canadian shipping may be entitled. The public accounts for the fiscal year will be laid before you early in the session. The estimates of expenditure will also be submitted for your consideration. Several Bills will be laid before you, including the following: An Act to establish a system of County Councils; An Act to amend the laws of succession relating to the widow's portion; An Act to establish a minimum wage in mines. It has been necessary to provide seven portfolios ill the Cabinet which have been designated as feellim-.: Premier J. A. Lester Attorney-General G. W.

Henderson Minister of Public Works and Kail- ways J. C. Christie President of the Council G. II. Bachelor I desire your earnest consideration of the subjects to which I have alluded and 1 invoke the Divine Providence upon your deliberations. The Speaker having thanked the Lieutenant-Governor, promised that the speech would be taken into the most serious consideration of the House. The "procession" was again formed and in slow, measured strides as became the dignity of his office, the Lieutenant-Governor withdrew. The House was now ready for business, and on motion of Premier Lester, seconded by Provincial-Secretary Campbell, lhe speech was received. The members on thc cross benches, who certainly made an imposing array, were tbe first to cross swords with lhe Government. Mr. Hill, Labor member for Vancouver, opened the debate and criticised the speech for its barrenness of any measures for the protection and amelioration of the condition of the workers. Mr. Xeelands, the leader of the Laborites, followed, and in a short, terse speech intimated that the speech in no way met the demands of the class be represented, and criticised the Government for its lack of foresight. Thc Labor men were certainly rubbing it in. and it remained for Mr. Rankin, fourth member for Vancouver, tej challenge the Speaker for ruling him out of order when he was discussing the Government's railway policy. Hc intimated that the Labeir (Continued on Page 11) Questions Which Arise in Considering the False Creek Agreement Port Mann or the North Arm of the Fraser? Port Mann or Vancouver?

The Council authorized the renewal of Treasury Certificate Bylaw No. 3, which provided for the borrowing of $1,500,000, of which $1,285,000 has!J already been borrowed, und will fall due on April 1 this year. The bylaw was read a third time, and passed, authorizing the issue of the residue still to be borrowed. A bylaw governing and defining the duties of the municipal auditor was also read a third time and passed. A matter left over was the question of Easter holidays for the official staff, whether to close the hall from Thursday evening until Tuesday morning, or whether tei open thc hall for business on Saturday morn-1 ing, following Good Friday. The resignation of Mr. E. G. John- ston, of the clerk's office staff was accepted. Fourteen days' holidays was granted to Mr. Kenneth Lamond, subject to an arrangement for some one to take his place while he is off duty. Improvements There will be a meeting of this association at the Collingwood institute on Thursday next week, and it is to be hoped there will be a goou attendance, as several important matters are to be discussed. The association is doing good work. There has been much discussion about the paving of yee Koad, and efforts will be made tei get the best possible arrangements for a permanent and geeod paving for this important thoroughfare. The association has taken up the question nf station accommodation at Collingwood. The present B.C.E.

TWO GREATER VANCOUVER CHINOOK SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1913. Burnaby and South Vancouver are at the Entrance to a Period of Industrial And Commercial Activity Greater Than Ever Has Been The Magic Wand of Mackenzie & Mann Will Cause To Spring Up On The Shores of the Placid North Arm of the Fraser a Battle Line t Of Industries���The Awakening Is At Hand With the C.N.R. Agreement ratified the forest banks of South Vancouver's portion of the North Arm of the Fraser will soon be transformed to humming industrial sites Five or six years ago, two gentlemen bought a tract of land on the North Arm of the Fraser in the Municipality of Burnaby, near the South Vancouver boundary. One man was an optimist and possessed prophetic vision; the other man was a pessimist, to some extent perhaps, and he entered into the deal with a poor spirit. At that time the tract in question, to the untrained investor's mind, seemed to possess about the same value as a similar piece of land forty miles from such a place as Edson, in Alberta. But the man with the optimism said, "the day will come when we ' can take a boat from our waterfrontage here and go tight around the world upon it." Of course, the pessimist told his partner to tell tbe yarn to a policeman. On the waterfrontage of South Vancouver and Burnaby���the fresh waterfrontage of the North Arm��� we find today tbe only available sites for industrial purposes on the whole of the peninsula. Saturday, they will vote on the False Creek agreement. And if the city passes this measure, the land alone the Fraser in Burnaby and South Vancouver, will be the most sought after property in Western Canada. We find the Dominion Government granting some $6,000,000 for the widening and deepening of the North Arm of the Fraser. We find that the Canadian Northern Railway have purchased large tracts of land lying along the water in these two municipalities. And this means that these level areas will be used for railway yards���freight terminals, wdiich will include great grain elevators. In this fresh water harbor will the ships from thc Orient and from the ports of Europe tie up to be loaded with the products of the awakening Canadian empire. Back of the waterfrontage of the North Arm there is a height of land ���a vast area, sparsely built upon. Time will make the entire length of Ihe river a manufacturing and business district and on this prominence a residential section is even now developing. The heights that overlook the Fraser possess more charm than possibly any other residential district throughout Greater Vancouver. In thc hurry and flurry of building up a great city on thc Pacific Coast, men pinned their hopes to Burrard Inlet and contiguous property. Only the men of prophetic vision saw a future for the North Arm of the Fraser. And it would appear that the day is at hand when South Vancouver and Burnaby are about to vindicate the optimism of thc men who have struggled through the lean years of the past. ihe erection of such a house, in be iu lhe hands of the Trustees bv April 11. The next matter was the consideration of the addition of a basement al Gilley School. Trustee Ross, the chairman of thc Grounds and Buildings Committee, supported by the architect, reported upon the matter, submitting total cost of $1020. There was a considerable amount of discussion as to thc proposed expenditure, and also upon thc subject of Board meetings and committees generally, regular and irregular. It was, however, felt, and agreed by the members, that the basement was both necessary for the present and expedient for the future, and tbe views of tbe Trustees having been expressed, it was moved by Trustee Patterson and seconded by Trustee Sanderson that thc contractors should proceed with the enlargement. The architect reported that the Broadview School would bc ready for use by Easter. It was felt that in order to facilitate contractors and others getting money for work done the chairman should be empowered to sign cheques on behalf of the Board, upon receipt of the architect's certificate, but this was not finally agreed to, some of the Trustees considering that it. was not Bounteous Burnaby's Banks and Braes The Burnaby Board of School School Trustees held their regular meeting on Saturday, March 8. There was some discussion re purchasing a tent for the immediate use of the children of North Burnaby, rapid development and overcrowding in the Vancouver Heights School making more accommodation urgently necessary. There were many expressions of opinion as to the merits and otherwise of tents, Trustee Sanderson, especially deprecating their use. The matter was finally left in the hands of the architect, who was instructed to find out the cost of a tent 20 x 30, finished complete with fly, erected on the site named. It will serve the present purpose, and can be removed to another site if required. Plans were submitted for the erection of a teacher's residence at Bar- net. It was felt that a residence suitable for a married teacher, if necessary, was desirable, and in agreeing to build one the Trustees decided that if it could be done for the amount estimated a fireplace and bathroom should be included in the cottage. It was then moved by Trustee Patterson and seconded by Trustee Morrison, that tenders should be called for fair lee ask lhe chairman tee assume so much responsibility, and that a financial committee should deal with the matter. Meanwhile, it was decided that the chairman sign the order under discussion, and also thc balance as soon as due. Trustee Sanderson moved, upon recommendations from the architect, anil Trustee Morrison seconded, that the contractors for the Broadview School be instructed to build two latrines at a cost of $120, After considerable discussion it was resolved that steps should be taken for continuing negotiations for an extension of the school site at East Burnaby, and the secretary was asked to write asking cash price for the remaining part of the site, the matter to be taken up at the next meeting. Dr. G. eleB. Watson was appointed medical officer at a salary of $70 per month, his duties to commence on the 15th ir.st. From the tenders for the supplying of kindergarten chairs and chairs that of The Marston Showcase Co. was accepted, their price being $127 for fifty tables and fifty chairs. Trustee Sanderson and the Secretary were asked to buy furniture for the teachers' room at Alta Vista. Innian Avenue, and Vancouver Heights. Tenders for the building of Xorth Burnaby School arc required to be in by April 1. * * * At thc Council meeting on Monday night the tender of Messrs. Evans, Coleman & Evans was accepted for the supplying of water pipes to carry out the new extensions in different parts of the Municipality. The work will be commenced as soon as possible after the pipes are delivered. A tender from the Machinery Installation and Contracting Co. for the erection of a watch tower on the Xeirth Road. It was further reported tbat four districts were in urgent need of water, and these were noted for immediate attention. A suggestion from Reeve McGregor that day labor be employed in digging the trenches received the support of the members. The Finance Committee voted $200 be the Central Park Agricultural Association, being the same as in previous years. The amount asked for was $500. enlarged premises being necessary for the coming show. A claim was laid before the committee for $1000 by Mr. N. F. Bestor, one of whose horses was killed by a blast fired by a gang doing municipal work at Highland Park. Thc horse was one of a team, and Mr. Bestor agreed to accept $900 in settle- uienl. the Council to have the other horse. The Victorian Order of Nurses asked for a donation of $1000, which request was held over for further consideration. Hurnaby has now decided to institute a scheme of insurance operating within the Municipality! by which it is beeped to save a considerable amount of money. The question of renewing the present public liability policy and the employers' liability now almost expiring, was raised by Comptroller Griffiths. After discussion of the Suggested alternatives to such a course, it was generally agreed by the Councillors that the suggested scheme bc adopted. By the deduction from revenue and banking of a special account an annual sum will be set aside for the purposes of insurance to form a nucleus, and it is estimated that by carrying its own insurance the Municipality will save $2000 a year. The Council appointed Councillor Coldicutt to represent Burnaby on the joint harbor committee of tbe North Arm of the Fraser River, a meeting of which was held on Tuesday afternoon in the South Vancouver Municipal Hall. The question having arisen as to whether Burnaby had dropped out of the scheme in which the four municipalities of Point Grey, Burnaby's Waterfrontage���Near the spot marked X, at Glen Lyon, the proposed tunnel of the C.N.R. will enter on its way to False Creek Waterfrontage at Glen Lyon, in Burnaby���This migh'y expanse pessesses a value that only now men are beg inning to realize Richmond, Smith Vancouver :, i| llurnaby are interested was expl ed ami answered.

At the last meeting of the Trades and Labor Council ��� letter came' freun the Carpenters' Union protesting against the action of the immigration authorities in turning back Joseph Kttor whe) is an organizer of the I.W.W. The Trades and Labor Coun. cil has ne, connection with the I.W.W. and does not believe that till, policy eif thai body is any solution for the problems of the working class, yet the principle which was involved in the action of the authorities was one which could not lie ignored. If their action had been passed uiinoti ed because of the individual involved, it might not be long before the organizers of the labeir movement as represented hy the Trades and Labor ! Council would receive similar treatment. For that reason the Council il protesting to the Minister of the Interior, the Trades and Labor Con jgress of Canada, and Mr. H. H. Stevens, the member feir Vancouver A peculiar feature of the case is that Mr. W. Halwood, who is a lecturer I feer the same organization has recently been passing quite freely across the bonier and speaking in various Canadian eities. The trade union movement of Canada is very vigilant regarding matters of this kind, especially since the notorious Belcourt Bill : was before the House of Commons. j If that hill had became law. none of | the international organizers of the American Federation nf Labor wouhl have been allowed io enter Canada for lhe purpose nl assisting to organize the unions iu Canada which are a part of the American Federation of Labor, and thus destroying the international character of lhe trade union movemenl of .North America. That would be disastrous for the movement in Canada as owing to the sparsely settled condition "f the Country, it needs lhe support 'ef the larger body of which it is a pari. The Labor movement in Canada has nothing to gain by separating from Un- American Federation of Labor. A typical instance of thc value of all being iii one federation is the coal miners. When the strike was on in N'ova Scotia, the coal miners there had paid about $3,0011 int.. the international treasury of the l'nited Mine Workers of America, anel during lhe slrike that organization sent $1,500,- 000 tei aid the miners in their struggle, and they are now doing a similar tiling on Vancouver Island. The international principle must bc maintained een this continent, and whilst the Trades and Labor Council is in no way concerned in the activities of Mr. Ettor. yet it could not afford to let the action of the immigration authorities pass unchallenged. * el, * The Trades and Labor Council, since the opening of the Labor Temple, has had under consideration the question of having a full time business agent to look after the interests of its 7.000 affiliated members. The unions are how to vote on the question of raising' the per capita tax i 15 cents per quarter Council to have an from ID cents ti to enable the ^^^^^^^^^^^ Igelll ... For a long time now the Trades and Labor Council has been agitating i for an official scaffolding inspector' for the city. Enabling legislation has been passed by the provincial legislature and it is likely that at an early date the appointment will be made. ... The abolition of the provincial voters' list came as a surprise, but ihe Council instructed the secretary to give his full time for the next two weeks to the weirk of registering all who are qualified and who wish to be re-registered. Any person living in the City of Vancouver can get on the voters' list at Room 210, Labor Temple, any day e,r evening, providing he can fulfil the following requirements: Ile must be over the age of twenty- one years. lie must be a British subject. He musl have resided in British Columbia for at least six months. lie musl have resided in Vancouver at least one month. All workmen should realize the im. lortance of getting on the list before April 7, when the lists will be closed fm revision in May. 11 is quite likely there will bc a Dominion election this year, and this registration entitles citizens to vote for both Provincial mil Dominion elections. One of the bills which suffered an untimely death during thc recent short session of the provincial parliament was intended to amend the "Master and Servant Act." Its essentials were that��� Every workman, employee, or servant, where the rate of wages does imt exceed four dollars per day, shall be- paid at intervals not to exceed once every two weeks. X.i contract shall be entered Into that provides for the payment of wages at longer intervals than once in twei weeks; Provided that this section shall apply only to industrial operations carried on within five miles of an incorporated town, and tei we,rks, wherever situated, employing over one hundred workmen. �� * * The Canadian Government Labor Department recorded 491 industrial accidents during January. Out of those, one hundred were fatal, and 391 caused serious injuries. Compared with the record for December, the foregoing is an increase of three fatal, and thirty-four non-fatal accidents. The largest number of deaths were recorded in the mining and railway industries. Fifteen men were killed. in mining, and and forty-three in the | railway service. Of the non-fatal accidents, the greatest number occurred in connection with steam railways and the metal trades, the respective figures being 114 and 87. Two fatal and 28 non-fatal accidents occurred to workmen in lhe building trade. * * * The threat 'ef a strike of structural ironworkers at Calgary has evaporated by the acceptance of a compromise. They asked for $5.00 for eight hours work in the city, and $4.50 for ten hours on lhe road. They have ac cepted $5.00 for nine hours in the city, and $4.50 for nine hours on the rejad. The settlement affects one hundred men * * �� The local Ironmolderl report that a number oi their members in Victoria are mi strike from the Albion Foundry owing to a dispute about wages. ...

The whole position in the COt- I ton trade is very unsettled. For sixty years there have been agreements The 1878 agreement followed an eilil Working list which was rigidly adhered to, but today there is no agreement to regulate conditions in the Ispinning rooms, and one official of I the Spinners' Union asserts that the employers' federation does not recognize the Spinners' Union. The employers have not yet made any j statement with regard to the trouble which is likely ami ii is understood I that they will take no action until j they are served with notices by the spinners.

Cameos From Canadian History Specially Written for "The Chinook" by Felix Penne THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR PARLIAMENTS The English Parliament has been the growth of ages. Trace it back to Simon ile Montfort���that is far enough���follow it through century after century and you will appreciate how the British representative system has been "widened out from pre- edent to precedent," through the ages; built up by wisdom, perseverance and heroism to what it is now, not perfect, but giued enough for the Briton to bc proud of. The parliamentary institutions of Canada cannot claim the reverence due to antiquity, on their own account. Canada is, however, "the heir of the ages," and may the day be far distant when that fact is not gratefully remembered. Thc beginning of Canadian parliamentary history was in thc close of thc eighteenth century, historically speaking, the day before yesterday. When the country was in the possession of France thc inhabitants��� there were not many of them���had no representation iu legislative assemblies, they did not show public spirit by exercising the control over their local affairs which they might have demanded, and perhaps have got, by holding "town meetings." They should have taken a leaf from the book of their neighbors "across the line." The English colonists in America, in New England, had popular control of their own affairs. They were independent of the parent state in matters which affected their own comforts, rights and environment. The New England town was indeed a "political unit." the freemen met in "township meetings" and debated their affairs with lhe freedom, vehemence and determination which their fathers bail had before them���and their sons, thank God!���still have today. Samuel Chainplain. the founder eif Quebec, was practically a tyrant, a beneficent tyrant, if you like. Inn still a tryrant. a despot, a "boss," anything yotl like tee describe a man who "hail it all his own way." Shakespeare tells us lhat if you have "a giant's strength," it is sometimes cruel and tyranical tej use it as a giant, and Champlaiii seems lee have remembered this. Take him altogether, he was a good sort. But "the fact remains." as my old friend, George Howard says, "that the people had no voice in the management of their own affairs." They were "bossed" in every way. For fifty years at least (I am not going into the decimals of chronology), the country was in the grip of trading corporations (there is some of that "grip" still clutching us!I and the Governor had all powers, civil and military, for the security and peace of the colony. To his honor, be it said, he used his great powers to such desirable ends. Hc had a council; oh, yes, he had ! a council and he took its advice. I when it suited him! You know how a council can be "bossed," don't you? We have seen it done sometimes at .the City Hall. Then came the era of Colbert. I < take off my hat to the memory of Colbert. The early governors were as nc.irly as possible absolute. Champ- i lain could say with Robinson Crusoe (although he was neit on a desolate j Island), "1 am'monarch of all I survey. .My will there is none tee dispute." But Colbert gave "the people" I a "hiok in." He made quite a change Iin the administration of affairs, ami about 1663 the mode of government was more in harmony with the aspirations, the sentiments, the needs of a growing population, a population growing not only in numbers but in wealth and intelligence. The people ! of Canada had just a sniff of independence, of liberty. They liked ii! The appetite for freedom grows by what jit feeds on! We have now come lo la time when they had a taste of "popular representative government." We shall see in my next paper how much ihey had goi, anil I leave them, like Oliver Twist, asking feer 'More'" (NOTE���Another "Cameo" will I appear shortly.)

A tribute to the memory of a sweet singer of nature's lyrics." South Vancouver Board of Trade Its Past and Present Work THE C.N.R. AGREEMENT EVERY person who has a vote on the C.N'.R. Agreement which comes before the people of Vancouver on Saturday, March 15, Bhould register his ballot In favor of the Agreement, There should be no half-hearted action. Every vote possible Bhould be recorded in favor of this agreement, which means development and progress for South Vancouver as well as the City of Vancouver. The cry has gone out that the City Should not sacrifice False Creek, which is her last available piece of property for industrial sites. Better far fe.r Vancouver would it be to have the C.N'.R. spend four or live millions of dollars at False Creek today than that the City of Vancouver spend double that sum in developing lhe same place ten years hence. What Vancouver, what South Vancouver wauls just now is activity for the man with the dinner-pail. False Creek as lhe centre of an industrial city must, after all. be a somewhat far-fetched picture'. It will be granted by those who take this view of the question thai Greater Vancouver a few years hence will be an immense city embracing South Vancouver, Point Grey, Burnaby and probably Xew Westminster. What large city in the world today centres ils industrial activities in the heart of the city? Real estate values forbid that. Values would forbid False Creek as an industrial centre a few years hence, when a Greater Vancouver is an accomplished fact. As a railway terminal, there is no more suitable place in Vancouver. Xot only is it central from all parts of Vancouver, but by ils development along railway lines, the way would be opened for the incoming of not one but several railways all eager to bring their share of business to Vancouver, while False Creek which has so long lain undeveloped and an eyesore to the public, would be utilized to the best advantage of the community. South Vancouver has a selfish interest in seeing this agreement pass. The Canadian Northern Railway will probably pass along the Xorth Arm of the Fraser a certain distance before running their line toward False Creek. The North Arm of the Fraser River as a shipping point will accordingly gain some recognition from that company, while the passing of the line through this municipality will occasion a great deal of activity in many avenues of work. No one having a vote should miss the opportunity to vote for this agreement which means progress and development. THE MAN OF ENTHUSIASM MEN of enthusiasm and action are am.nig the world's greatest assets. They are the sail nf the earth. Soulh Vancouver is fortunate in having at the head of its affairs men of initiative and action. Particularly is the South Vancouver lieiani of Trade to bc congratulated upon its selection of Mr. Kenneth Lamond as secretary. (In.- of lhe mosl enthusiastic workers in all wholesome public movements, Mr. Lamond admirably fills these duties of this public body. .Mr. Kenneth Lamond is one of the best known figures in Soulh Vancouver, Coming to South Vancouver three years ago he immediately evinced a deep interest iii matters "l" public interest. Il was not long before he became identified with the South Vancouver Board eef Trade and his efforts on the Fraser River Development Committee have long since been recognized by his fellow members. When Mr. Charles Harrison lefl f.er lhe Old Country last fall, Mr. Lam.mil was immediately chosen t'e take over the duties "f secretary, anil at the annual meeting recently he was appointed t" the position for the year. A native of Leith. Scotland, Mr. Lamond displays many e.f the substantial Scottish characteristics, A successful business man in that city for over twenty years, he views all questions from the standpoint of the shrewd business man, and his business experience gained at that time is now being realized upon in a large measure. of a literary turn of mind, Mr. Lamond has been a regular and valued correspondent of this paper, lie deals wilh public questions from a broad and intelligent plane and many of bis suggestions have brought forth not only favorable comment but action. He has also contributed to many of lhe large magazines and periodicals, and the story of the grnwib and development of Semlli Vancouver has Ihrough his articles been consistently and impressively brought before the notice "I lhe readers. During the organization of lhe .Mock Parliament at South Hill. Mr. Lamond spared neither time nor energy in placing it on a firm basis, lie is one of its most enthusiastic members and his efforts along this line have been greatly appreciated. An enthusiastic Freemason, he is now engaged upon the formation of a lodge in South Vancouver and it is expected that within the very near future a charter will he granted for such a lodge. With the South Vancouver Board of Trade entering upon a new era with the passing of the Xorth Arm Harbor Bill, the necessity for continued activity by that body is apparent to all. Enthusiasm and energy on the part of the secretary of the organization is very much to be desired and in the hands of Mr. Lamond this Board should be able to witness its duties and offices efficiently and effectively fulfilled. NO DEFENCE NEEDED ""THERE is no need to take up cudgels to defend the 1 South Vancouver Board of Trade from thc ill-advised, ill-informed and malicious attack made upon it before Commissioner Crehan. Yet, on second thoughts, there is need for some words, not of defence, but of explanation, for in these strenuous times there may be men who are so busy that they have not time to see whether the attack was justified or not���they can only realize that where much mud is thrown some of it sticks. But the mud thrown at the South Vancouver Board of Trade defiles the hand that throws it much more than it soils the object at which it is aimed. Men who have the lime, and inclination, to look into the personnel of the Board, ihe aims and objects of the officers and members will s mn find out that the men are men of reputation, the objects���lhe good of South Vancouver. ^It is true lhat the Council has given the Board of Trade financial aid, but ihis has beeji only supplementing the handsome total whieh has been made up by the generous contributions of the members. Yes, contributions of money, and they have given what i.s more valuable than money, lime, thought, experience, knowledge to movements for lhe building up���on right lines���of the Municipality in which ihey live. The critic of lhe Hoard of Trade tills al windmills, fights shadows, he i.s "agin" whatever does not represent his own narrow views and interests and apparently cannot sympathize with, because be cannot understand, lhe patriotism e,f men who bind themselves together for Ihe benefit of country, each eelber, and themselves. Will, i|R. Hoard's critic "self" would come first���and last. The South Vancouver Board of Trade needs no defence. Would you see its good work "look around"��� there is ample evidence of the good it has done, and is doing, but the real harvest of its labor is to be garnered in tbe future���and that fact, of course, does not appeal to a mind which is "of the earth, earthly," and lacks the imagination to grasp the fact that there are men who work for posterity, who plant that coming generations may reap and whose labors and efforts are not guided by the narrow groove which is confined to "the present" and elf.' PAULINE JOHNSON ���"TO THE credit of South Vancouver be it stated that in our Municipality there have been many eloquent and touching tributes paid to the memory of the dead poet. We say "poet," not "poetess," for art knows no sex. At the South Hill Parliament the whole "House" rose and in reverent silence passed a vote of regret and sympathy. This was after eloquent speeches in which it was pointed out that Pauline Johnson had caught the national spirit of that Canada which was passing away. "Her poems will live," said a member on the cross benches, "because they are true to nature. She has given us the music of the waters, of the wind in the trees and portrayed those emotions of the human heart in a manner which will appeal to human hearts through the centuries." At the Collingwood Parliament on Saturday night a similar tribute was paid to Pauline Johnson's memory. "The true creators are God and the Poet," said Mr. J. Francis Bursill, quoting a Spanish proverb, and he was followed by the Premier, Mr. C. T. Bailey, Mr. W. Morris and other members. At the funeral at Christ Church on Tuesday the Parliament was represented by Mr. W. H. Kent, "Speaker"; Messrs. Bursill, Turner and Burness. They placed on the MUCH NEEDED REFORMS (O REAT events spring from little cause, and it is not ^"* unlikely that the discussions which take place in the South Vancouver Local Parliaments at Collingwood and Seeuth Hill may lead to some very necessary and important reforms. As Mr. R. C. Hodgson, President of the South Vancouver Board of Trade, pointed out, the Parliaments, taking their work seriously, will not be mere discussion forums, but factors in municipal progress. Case in point! The Collingwood Parliament last Saturday night discussed the question of "Pure Food," and such a discussion cannot be limited to the purity of food. There must come in, incidentally, the question of "Food Values." Does the public get in nourishment, in what will build up the body, value for the money demanded for food stuffs? It was pointed out to the "House" that, in food, people are as cruelly robbed as it is contended they are in coal. There is a member for the Collingwood Parliament who has shown that he has the courage of his convictions. He wrote to some of the wholesale houses inviting them to send stenographers to Collingwood to take down his accusations of wholesale adulteration and system of debasing the food of the people. It is impossible that such statements as he made can be ignored. "The law," says this amateur M.P., "is like a spider's web, the small flics get caught, the big ones can break through it with impunity. A little storekeeper is prosecuted for selling a pound of food which has been adulterated, and round thc next block a large factory is ���with expensive machinery���turning out that adulterated fined at the rate of three or four thousand pounds per day. iinboihercd by inspector or prosecution. It is like the police moving earth and heaven to bring tei justice a man who passes a forged dollar bill and watching a printing machine turning out forged dollar bills at the rate "I a thousand an h.uir with perfect ini.H inily." If the statements made at Collingwood on Ihe subject of "adulteration" dei not make lhe authorities "ait up and take notice" if they do not lead to some action to protect lhe people, we shall be surprised���and disappointed. S �� I WOMAN'S HAND IN PROGRESS A MONO the seeming impossibilities that confronted ** people fifty years ago, writes Betsy G. Brooks of Catskill. X.Y., were the higher education and the enfranchisement of women. "Only thc older people of today can realize the horror in which a 'blue stocking,' or 'strong-minded female.' was held. This change in public sentiment has been brought about by women in a most quiet and sensible manner, with no political influence, but with just a determined steadfastness of purpose. And so far, at least, it has brought nothing but good to all concerned. More men are receiving higher education than ever before; the spirit of competition has acted as a stimulant, and men have done better work because of it. Doctors have learned more of the prevention of disease, with the help of trained nurses. Little children troop to school with smiling faces since women have taken the place of the schoolmaster of birchrod fame. Again, it is only the older ones of ns who can remember when school was a place to be dreaded and the first day of it brought tears instead of smiles." The work performed by the varieeus Board:, of Trade throughout Canada can never be overrated. Wherever we finil a progressive Beearel of Trade i.-, feeund a city e,r municipality that is forging ahead. The preeper function oi these boards i> securing and heeik- jug after industry, al the same lime guiding and advising ihe councils as lee any greal project! that are under consideration. Being non- political, Ihey stand aloof from nil political parlies, politics ill any shape or form being tabooed. The members e,f these boards consists of the most progressive citizens eef the city; nun who arc alive to the needs and necessities of the community in which they live; men that are both willing and anxious to spend not only their time but their money ill the advancement of what is best for the city in which they reside. To a certain extent ihesj boards are supported by dues subscribed by the members, with grains from the councils. In some districts a specified amount is levied mi the taxes, namely one mill on the dollar, the revenue from this being entirely devoted to advertising purposes, In seaport cities the Government allows certain harbor dues lo be collected by the Board of Trade. The standing of the Board of Trade shemld be very little inferior to the municipal council. Iu many acts of legislation these boards figure more prominently than the councils do. We need only instance the passing of ilu- North Fraser Harbor Commission Bill. In Seattle the credit for the great harbor developments that have taken place there are entirely given tr. the work done by the Board there. In our own municipality here, we have a Board that has been in existence for nearly four years. The enthusiasm with which it was launched soon spent itself when it was realized that membership entailed not only the paying of subscriptions but the devoting of a good deal of time to committee work. As the snow disappears before the spring sun, so did the 1;st of membership decrease. It was as well that it did so. It eliminated the ornamental and left the useful. The Board of Trade deserves well at the hands of the community for the work they do, and it is the duty of every citizen who can afford it to become a member of the board; yet, if one is not prepared to work they had better stand aloof. That the South Vancouver Board of Trade is now being appreciated for the work it has done and is doing is evidenced by the number of applications for membership. The only paid official in the Board of Trade is the secretary. In some of the larger cities, such as Vancouver, several paid flicials arc employed, who have many and varied interests to look after. We are pleased to see that the Municipal Council and the Board of Trade work hand in hand. The Council took the wise precaution from thc first in never buttiug-in on the Board of Trade work, whilst at the Board of Trade meetings proposal after proposal has been turned down when it was considered that they would in any way hamper the work of the Council, The Board of Trade have always consistently refused to be drawn into anything sectional. Many deputations have waited on them to nlist iheir help fur opening up certain streets, lanes, etc., and while these deputations were received with every courtesy, they were informed that Collingwood or Beaconsfield ap- aled tee the board in the same manner as .lid Main Street and F'raser Avenue. The work of the board must always be the greatest good for lhe greatest number. "\t the next meeting, which will bc held on Monday, March 31. the question of incorporation will bc discussed, At one time this was a vetoed question by the board, but it has now taken an active place in the politics of ihe Municipality. Since the Government have refused to allow annexation, it is but right the board should give a pronouncement on this question, We are now on the eve of industrial developments, and never was the time more urgent for lhe Municipal Council to have powers to encourage thc development of theS! industries. Under the Municipal Clauses Act me encouragement can be extended to any industry. Seeuth Vancouver must stand in lhe background, and see the small cities of North Vancouver, Port Moody, Coquitlam, etc., take industry after industry away from them. The Board of Trade of South Vancouver fully recognize the difficulties of locating industries here, as in the first place, it is up to the board to see these industries located, As the board has lately enrolled a number of young progressive members we may expect to see a keen animated debate follow along the lines of incorporation, As the board has always followed along the lines of progression it will hardly be difficult to forcast the result. We understand the board meetings are open to the public who should take advantage of hearing this matter discussed. To the public-spirited citizen we say, it is your duty to become a member of this "Incorporated Body." A note addressed to the Secretary at the Municipal Hall, will always bring prompt reply to any queries. With the investigation of Commissioner Crehan drawing to a close, each ratepayer should satisfy himself that matters of which he has knowledge and which merit Investigation should be enquired into. When the enquiry is completed it would defeat to a great extent the work of the Commissioner if a charge were made that any question was left untouched. It is up to the ratepayers to bring the matters before the notice of the Commissioner. It is not up to the Commissioner. Ratepayers therefore would do well to give the question consideration so that on its completion the investigation may be said to have been full and complete. Would Cleanse Politics (Peterboro' Examiner) If ministers and the Church would bring regenerating influences to bear effectively upon their flocks, if they would by their work raise the popular standard of political morality, the prime condition for the regeneration of politics would be provided.

Painters Paperhangers and Decorators 4246 FRASER ST., Vancouver Estimates Free Mischa Elman Before an audience of music-loving people which filled every seat of the1 Imperial Theatre, Mischa Elman, the eminent and gifted violinist, rendered a programme of most entrancing music. Rarely has an artist been accorded such support by the Vancouver public, and seldom is such a hearing given to a long programme of music, uninterrupted by any other than the wonderful playing of this artist, as was accorded Mischa Elman on this, his third visit to Vancouver. For over two hours his audience sat enthralled with the artist's renderings only broken by the outbursts of pent up enthusiasm in between the various numbers of the programme. The Elman tone has become a technical phrase in describing the quality and luciousness of this gifted artist's playing. Truly it is nothing short of a God-given gift, bestowed upon this em,' man fur it cannot be imitated, neither can it be appropriated by arduous study and much practicing. li enthralls all who hear it. and ils depths of sympathy and powers of enthrallment border on the superhuman.

A man of an observant turn of mind was waiting in a drug store one day for a prescription, and he noticed that the only patent medicines on the counter were hair restorers.

The boy looked up in grave astonishment at such a statement, and then replied in a most positive manner: "That's all right: you may think so, but I've got inside information." ele A A "I don't see," observed Mrs. Ring, "why, when they are giving away all them offices, they don't let women hold something."

Suddenly the knife of the carver slipped and sent a fragment of poultry rolling on to tlie floor. "Michty me!" cried MacTavish. "the leg���mc own favorite bit. The dog'll get it!" "Naw, father," said the youngest offshoot of Ihe Clan MacTavish, 'he'll no' get il. I've put my foot upon it." Jock McFizzle rather fancied himself as a dogbreeder, ami on the occasion of a local show hc felt firmly convinced that a young dog he was entering would carry off the first prize. So assured was Jock on this score that hc invited a select number of his special cronies to be his guests at the show, promising to stand as universal banker during the day. Not merely did Jock's dog fail to run off with the first prize, but, to the owner's great grief and annoyance, he failed to secure so much as a second, third, or even an honorable mention. It was too much, especially after current expenses. So that, seeing one a Elman is undoubtedly the greatest living violinist, and wiih fifty years of active life ahead nf him yet, nothing preventing, he is destined to prove himself the greatest master of violin playing of either the past or present. His programme on this occasion consisted of a Beethoven sonata for and piano, comprising four beautifully contrasted movements in the strictly classic style of Beethoven's time: a concerto by Ernest, a more modern work of one gloriously melodic movement, full of technical difficulties and beautiful melodies, in which Mischa Elman excels; a group I of four smaller numbers by various | modern composers; a most bewitching Rondo Capriccioso by Saint- Saens; and a concluding number by the eminent violinist and composer Sara sate. __ After each and every rendering Elman was recalled again and again, and he responded most generously to the tremendous ovations tendered him, interpolated with cries of "Mure. more." To pick out the best number on such a programme would be impossible as Elman is master of everything he plays; but the Ernst Concerto and the Saint-Sacns Capriccioso were of all this lovely programme, perhaps the most lovely of all. Mention must be made of the support given the violinist by the artist accompanist. Mr. Percy Kahn, Aside from the distinction of being competent enough to accompany such a distinguished violinist, let it be said that this pianist well deserves the honors bestowed upon him in this capacity. In conclusion, let it be hoped that Mischa Elman and all eminent artists of his attainment bc long spared to deliver to others the store of rare talent of which this artist is making such rare and valuable use.

This "university of humanity" is to cost $1,000,000 and will accommodate two hundred men and three hundred women. According to present plans, the college will consist of a collection of simple buildings holding fifty inmates each and group- eel remnd a central building in which will be a kitchen, dining-rooms, and lecture halls. Members of the college will do all domestic work except that a cook or two will bc employed. Training will he both educational and practical. Future officers will be taught the elements of history and geography, the principles of religion and of army organization, in addition to a knowledge of shorthand and accounts. Practical training will include active work in the slums, at the shelters and homes, and in prisons and hospitals. A year's course at college will, it is believed, give men and women an insight into slum life that will enable them to continue the good work. The college will be open to foreigners who have been deputed by army representatives abroad on account of their special aptitude. The living expenses of these strangers will bc covered by lhe local organizations that sent them and they will follow the same course of training as the others. Good results, the general added, could onlv be obtained by the services of competent men and women.

One evening he invited mc���much to my surprise���to accompany him in his cab to call upon a leading politician whom hc bad chosen for an office. The recollections of that ride il could he hard to obliterate. It was so characteristic of .Mr. Mackenzie. He evidently went about his Cabinet- making self-reliant, determined, unperturbed. He appeared no more uplifted than if be had been going out to an ordinary day's work. No word of exultation escaped his lips; he was, in fact, more subdued and reticent than usual. His invitation to me was no doubt intended as a compliment and there were not a few reasons why he might have said something to me of his political plans. But, except the name of the gentleman lie was going to call upon, he was silent as the Sphinx in regard to his arrangement, and not the remotest syllabic passed between us as to the new Cabinet, either going or returning. Such was Alexander Mackenzie, Even when his intentions were the kindest and the best, be was so canny and cautious that he seldom turned out the silver side of the shield, and this peculiarity unfortunately lost him many a friend before his political reign came to a close.

PLATE GLASS WINDOW GLASS LEADED ART GLASS Thorne Metal Store Front Bars, Bevelling and Silvering, Store Fronts Glazed ALL KINDS OF GLASS NOTES OF INTEREST TO THE LADY OF THE HOUSE A Modern Demosthenes There is an almost unknown circumstance In the life history of Speaker Champ Clark that deserves to rank with the ever-green story of Demosthenes, who cultivated clear speech with a mouthful of pebbles. Speaker Clark bears the reputation of having the clearest enunciation in the House of Representatives and of being the most easily understood speaker in that body. "When I was a boy in Kentucky," said the Speaker, in explanation of his clear diction, "my father determined to train me to talk without mouthing or mumbling my words, so he cut a little piece of wood, just long enough to stand endwise between my teeth when my jaws were well opened. Then, with that impediment to the movement of my lips I was required to practise articulation. The treatment was heroic, but it taught me plain speaking." "Madame, do you think you can use your influence with your husband to induce him to support me in this campaign?" "I don't know, sir. I've never yet succeeded in inducing him to support me." Keeping well is the cheapest thing in the world to do. While you are keeping well, you can save a lot of money. Drink nothing but water. Kat the plainest of food. The plainest of food is the cheapest. Walking is a splendid exercise. Walk and save carfare. Get plenty of outdoor air. Shovel your own snow, split your own wood, mow your own grass, take care of your own furnace. This i.s a splendid system. So they tell us. ��� ^ i "You know it is stated that a man's heart beats 92,160 times a day," said the young man. "Every day?" asked the sweet young thing. "Yes, every day." "Well, if a young man's heart didn't beat more times than that thc day he proposed marriage to nie, I'd consider him a pretty cold proposition." "If you do not want to marry Mrs. Sims, why do you not appeal to the courts to protect your legal rights?" "But what rights have I under the law?" "A widow is not entitled to more than a third, and this woman has been married three times already." Health Rules for Women Every woman who is normally healthful should do a certain amount eef bending every day of her life. Notice BOW heavy you become from silling around and reading during a win ele afternoon. Take three or four days' trip on a train and you will realize how necessary bending and action of all kinds are to your vitality. When you leave the train you long for a geiod, stiff walk to limber up your joints and muscles. Every woman cannot take exercise out of deeors. That is a luxury. But every woman can exercise, and exercise every day, indoors or out. Making trifles an exercise may seem simple and ineffective lo unthinking people. But just such simple actions as picking up pins and scraps freun the floor, dropping a handkerchief and picking it up properly bending thc body from thc hips while reaching down, are all exercises beneficial to the health and the prolongation of youth, The person who says, "Don't exert yourself," unconsciously says, "Don't keep young." Youth is activity and activity is youthful. Take only as much rest as you re- quire. Never let yourself drop back inti i enervating laziness, which is fatal. N'eeticc luew a healthy yeeiing girl stands, with both heels together and shoulders back, her spine Straight and whole beeily well poised. The natural tendency of a woman when sitting at a table, desiring lo gel closer to hcr work or to read, is to bend the back until the body, from the hips to the neck, resembles a half circle. This position is injurious to lhe spine and all thc internal organs while keeping the shoulders and head erect and bending forward from tbe hip joints is beneficial to lhe health. The backbone holds the "channel of life," the spinal cord. To it are secured lhe ribs that project over vital organs, and it is made up eif many jeeints. and is BO pliable that we may bend back and forward or twist from side to side with il. However, il was not intended as a support in stooping down or leaning over, That task should fall upon the hip joints. They are equipped with all the proper hinges for that pur- peesc, American women wonder why their waists thicken. 1 have had numerous letters asking for Ihe solution of that condition, and I can safely say it is caused by insufficient use of the hip muscles. Too much reclining and relaxation and not enough bending. Every woman should bend down to the floor 50 times a day, keeping her knees stiff and reaching for something. Such action will limber up all joints and keep them. It is never too late to begin bending from the hips. It may be difficult at lirst, if the fat has accumulated around the waist line, but it is only a question of a few days' perseverance in the exercise when the body will bend and a rounded back and shoulders will become straight again. It is no idle saying that the proper use of the hip joints will retain a youthful figure. When working at a typewriter, washing at a tub, culling beautiful flowers, or picking up things always bend the body from the hips. It is a sad sight to see young girls victims to too good-natured or careless parents, for in the bringing up is thc fault of round shoulders. The mother, father, elder sister or brother who will let little girls sit round shouldered over a book and not correct them is absolutely at fault. Teachers in schools should watch the pupils to sec that they sit correctly. To insure a straight back and a beautiful figure the foundation must be begun in childhood, when the bones are soft and pliable. Just a lil lie attention to how the little ones walk and sit will do the greater part, then proper exercise will do the finishing. When a child walks slouchily it will greiw up in the same manner if it is not severely corrected. Talking ' is generally thrown away on young people; severe correction is necessary. They resent it and call their parents "notional" and dictatorial, but they will thank them when they are old enough to appreciate what trouble they were obliged to go through to make them presentable. Round shoulders destroy beauty. A round shoulder girl can never look smart, for smart women are particularly straight and erect in figure. Cbethes never hang properly on badly shaped shoulders, so look to the children, when they are young. When a girl begins to stoop, start treatment right away. Curtail the "sitting hours," make the girl go in for games and musical drill and physical exercises under a good teacher. Teach her breathing exercises. Make her take long, deep breaths with the mouth shut, thc shoulders braced, and the arms hanging for five minutes two or three times a day. Teach her to hold herself properly, to walk erect, and see that her clothing is always loose and well fitted. A great cause of ill health in school girls may be counteracted by ordinary common sense measures rather than by medical knowledge. When children are growing too fast and begin to lean forward put a brace on their backs to hold the shoulders back, give them salt baths and rub their little backs strongly ,and compel them to eat plenty of baked potatoes and oatmeal, for these both have the quality for strengthening tbe bones. Make them hold up their chins and when reading or looking at pictures never let. them lean over; make them sit back firmly with their backs against a chair while reading. Sometimes in cases of stooping shoulders there is the possibility of some growing weakness of the spine. To prevent serious future trouble a good physician should be consulted. Pay rather for prevention than cure. The greatest aid to training a figure is a beautiful model. Point out its perfection to the children. It is a wonderful thing how one beautiful woman who carries herself well will insensibly improve the carriage of those about her. Her example unconsciously compels other women to draw themselves up to match her and even her smile is infectious. Mothers can be and are thc best examples for the future generation, and as women are growing yearly stronger in mind and beauty, sei the coming generations will be far more healthy and beautiful in every way than the past or present. Every one has to be taught what to do, so carefully study your young people and teach them to grow up in beauty of mind and body. Parents arc responsible feir their offspring until they make them responsible for themselves. Learning tei rest is difficult. Any one with (be will to do can learn lo sit and walk correctly while at work, j but few learn how to rest. Sleeping is met always resting; neither is doing nothing a good form of rest. There arc certain forms of indolence that are more fatiguing than bard work. Real test' presupposes sufficient sleep anil enough of the loafing spirit te, get off tension, but it means more than that. One of tbe surest rests is in relaxing; change of occupation is resting, so also is change of scene and viewpoint. Seasonable Fruit Salads This is a "between season" month when it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory variety of tempting foods and perhaps nothing is more palatable, after the cloying richness eif winter dishes, than a crisp, light and daintily-served salad of fruit or vegetable or a combination of the two. Delicate apple cups made from the large pale green or rosy apples arc always pleasing to the eye, and peeled cucumbers (eilhcr fresh or boiled until tenderly transparent In sailed water) make attractive boats as receptacles fe,r a salad. Hollowed tomatoes are old, but attractive, nevertheless, and baskets made freun oranges or grapefruit, from green peppers or hollowed cabbages or melons, have all an appeal te> the eye. Sweet fruit salads arc often served as dessert courses, especially at luncheons, and these require different treatment from those served earlier in the meal. Dressings for fruit salads are usually of the plainest of French, occasionally varied by the liberal use of paprika for seasoning and cohering. Simple mayonnaise dressing is delicious with most fruits, but an ideal dressing is the cream mayonnaise, in which either sweet or sour cream is substituted for the oil or a small quantity of the whipped cream added to the mayonnaise already made. Then there is thc olive oil and I cream dressing, in which equal quantities of oil and fresh eer evaporated cream are used. White grapes play an important | part in winter salads, and should be peeled and Seeded. Marinated in lemon juice they may be served with 'almost any fruit or used as a gar- | nisb, and a delectable salad is made i freim endive, white grapes and grapefruit, wilh a little watercress added J if liked. Bananas utilized as salad give a gastronomic surprise that is most agreeable. Combine the diced bananas with cherries, grapefruit, nuts or celery, and serve mi the tenderest of lettuce leaves with mayonnaise, whipped j cream flavored with some cordial or | plain French dressing. The large red j bananas sliced in thin slices and | served with a dressing of oil and limc- I juice with a dash eif paprika arc good. The following are excellent recipes; Banana Salad���Remove the skins from eight bananas, scrape, using a silver knife, then cut into thin slices and roll in finely chopped walnut meats. Arrange wilh slices nf orange mi a bed of crisp lettuce leaves. I'nur over French dressing. Tee make the French dressing mix half a teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a teaspoonful of salt, a quarter of a teaspoonful of white pepper with three lablespoon- of olive oil. Drop in slowly one tablespoonful of white vinegar, healing continuously until it thickens. A dash of red pepper or paprika may i be added Apple' Salad���Scoop oul large pale green apple cups and stand one on each plate, garnishing wilh green leaves, grape or nasturtium, Tei each cupful of diced apple pulp add eine- I half cupful <ef sliced celery, one-quarter cupful blanched mn meats, pecans being especially good. If variety is wanted add a few kernels of popped corn. Bind this together with whit mayonnaise and fill tin- apple cup with the mixture. Garnish with whole pecan meals anel a rose eef the mayon naisc put on with the pastry bag. ��� Grapefruit Salad���Take the pulp, cut in thin slices with skin and rind removed, freun Iwei large grapefruit Cut two canned peaches into dice. Blanch one-fourth cupful of almonds lightly together with a bunch of fine ly cut watercress in some goeid French dressing and serve on a bed of lettuce. Queen Alexandra Salad ��� Make nests or beds of heart-leaves of lettuce and put in these first a layer of crisp celery cut in short pieces and shredded fine. On t'.is foundation lay pieces of grapefruit pulp and these preserved cherries. Over the whole peeur a light l'Vench salad dressing. California Salad ��� Remove stones from large canned white or red cherries and fill with a mixture of cream cheese and English walnuts. Serve on lettuce with French dressing.

DOMINION Creosoted Wood Block PAVING Wood Block Pavements always attract traffic wherever they are in use. The reduction in the noise accomplished by the use of Dominion Wood Blocks greatly improves the value of stores and offices, facilitates the transaction of business, frequently brings about higher renting values and higher assessment values. It attracts pedestrian traffic as well as making the streets a more important thoroughfare for vehicles. Wood Block Pavement has the extreme advantage of noiselessness and great durability under heavy traffic. Competitive tests have repeatedly shown it to be superior in durability to granite block, which formerly was the most durable pavement known. On streets like Broadway, New York; Dearborn Street, Chicago; Tremont Street, Boston, and Market Street, Philadelphia, it is now demonstrating the superiority of its resilient resistance to the hammering of heavy traffic. a Dominion Wood Blocks are Manufactured in South Vancouver by the Dominion Creosoting Company, Limited SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1913.

Neet many years ago Ninth Avenue (Broadway) marked the southern boundary of the active portion of the city. Farmers held sway on the land where the cemetery is now located as late as 1904, and a few pioneers had gone beyond the city boundary (Sixteenth Avenue) because taxes were low and land was cheap. Today there is in total completion at the corner of Broadway and Main Street a skyscraper as tall as any on Granville Street, one of Vancouver's two foremost business streets, with the exception of the Vancouver Block and Rogers Building, both completed last year. From Burrard Inlet, the northern boundary of the city, to the North Arm of the Fraser, the southern boundary of South Vancouver, is only five or six miles, exceptionally small limits for a metropolitan city like Greater Vancouver. It is only a matter of time, moreover, till Seeulh Vancouver and Vancouver will join, the ratepayers of the former having already veiled ten to one in favor of annexation. Four years ago the population of South Vancouver was estimated at about 4,000, while today it is at least 35,000, and growing fast. South Vancouver may truly hc regarded as by far the fastest growing part of the fastest growing great city in the world. One of his Grace of Norfolk's favorite relaxations is wild duck shooting.

Ever since I was a kid I've wanted i" go t'e one of them fellers an' have my fortune to!'. I tell you. our good luck lining us (ei this man's town. Didn't yem say we was gentlemen of fortune? An' ain't we bumped, the firs' thing, iniee a fortune teller? Come on!" Up winding, elingy. uncarpetcd stairs they stumbled together, and flung themselves againsl the d"<ir at the top. The door flew open, and they found themselves almost upon a little, seedy-looking man in shirt sleeves and carpet slippers, smoking an evil-smelling black pipe. "What in thunder!" he exploded, jerking Ilis feet off a chair and springing up to confront them. "Has the madhouse broke loose?" "Is thc big chief in?" demanded Chuck by way of answer. "Who?" "The big Injun���Is���some-thing��� the fortune teller." The seedy, unshaved little man man looked at them with a new and speculative interest in his dim little eyes. "The great Izdubar," he returned gravely, waving his hand toward the black velvet curtains fluttering across a rear door, "has not yet made his morning appearance. Did you want to consult him?" "We never consulted no man yet without good reason," Chuck told him, with emphasis. "We wanted to see him. Tei git the real, red-hot dope off'n him. Is he here?" After a second measuring scrutiny, the little man .shook his head. "He's mighty busy," he admitted confidentially. "There's been nine calls already for him this morning. He's right now down lo Ilu- Golden Hotel, telling the fortune of the governor of this State. If you'll come back in about half an hour " They looked al each other, anil breathed deep. "We'll sure bc back." came enthusiastically freun Chuck. They went down lhe elingy stairs without seeing them, talking eagerly, speculating iu hushed tones <>f the greatness of the' "big Injun." And the little man iu carpet slippers hastened to lhe rear door, swooped down upon a lil ile. frowsy-headed, dim- eyed boy whit heire a great resemblance lie himself, yanked him by the ear from his breakfast at the kitchen table, pulled him tee the window, and pointed out the two swaggering forms crossing the sireet. "Gel busy, Sniffles! Those two wild ones leenk like ihey hail lhe coin mi 'cm. Get Iheir names somewhere. Look e.n the hotel register. As'< questions. Gel a hump mi yourself. They'll he hack in half an hour." Anil Sniffles, choking over a last piece of dry bread, hurried wilh shuffling feet down the dingy stairway. Half an hour later lo the fraction of a second Plug and Chuck-, a warm thrill eef anticipation upon them, presented themselves again in the lair of the reader of fate. At the same second Sniffles, eii lhe frowsy head, was scampering up lhe back stairway into lhe kitchen, where- he hoped lei impart his news and find the remnants of his breakfast still waiting to be devoured. Thc cowboys found that the man in carpet slippers bail geme. Gone, too, wcre the paper he had been reading and all traces of his untidy being. The room had taken on a new atmosphere. Upon the table, now covered with a black cloth cabalistically embroidered in dull gold, were things which made them draw unconsciously nearer to each other. A human skull, gleaming white upon lhe blackness of the cloth; a ball which seemed to bc of glass, but which had burning deep in its heart a dim, ghostly light that flickered and winked at them with an indescribably wise and evil leer; a scroll of old. musty parchment inscribed with strange, weird- looking characters; a small lamp burning with a shimmering phosphorescence and sending out through the room a subtle, heavy, spicy perfume. The fluttering black velvet curtains moved slowly apart. So slowly that they held their breaths, and drew even closer together, tingling with the curiosity which they more than half dreaded tei have answered. And experienced the same ecstatic electrical thrill which hael tingled through ihe in when they first breathed the strange, ghostly air of the r i.

"We are " "Xot a word, or the charm is broken!" Chuck took a dismayed step backward under the pygmy thunder of the voice which the great Izdubar had dragged upward from the cellar of his vocal possibilities. "Have you Come here t'i tell me? Or dee you come in pure ignorance thai 1 may tell you?" I Wailing for no answer, the fortune teller stepped with slow-moving dignity to his table, laid his hand Upon the brow of the grinning skull with an air of great familiarity, and stood like one lost in thought, With wide, wondering eyes, the twu men from the Bar Z stood enrapt, watching, waiting. Suddenly he eif the gray- beard wheeled upon them. The unexpected swiftness of his movement made their right hands dreip to their hips, whence they removed them, grinning a bit foolishly, as they realized that his intentions were mil hostile. "You are cowboys," he informed them, with a mysterious gravity. "You rode intu town this meirning��� one roan horse, one bay mare with a white spot between her eyes. You came from the Bar Z!" The eyes 'if Plug and Chuck went from lhe fascination nf the seer's glance tn ihe startled countenance of each other, and they shivered al the uncanny clairvoyance of him. "Yem know ihe past; that is all that meerial man knows in ihis den of ignorance which is called lhe weerld. You come tn nie to know the future Is it not so?" "Yes, still." Plug told him. Izdubar waved an impatient hand. "You need not answer. I g I my an- swers from the air about me. and freim here." His hand tapped the grinning skull. "But in order that yeeu may have all faith in what I shall disclose to you let ine show you thai I can read ihe pasl you know.

Your names arc Chuck olivet and Plug Martini" I'hey gasped al the bull's-eye In- had so readily maele. "Yes, sub." they said together. Again the seer became silent, ab- had been "I reckon our only hope," Chork said finally from the black depths of his profound despair, "is to try an' break jail an' skip." Plug's sigh carried no hope in it. "We can't drift without nur hosses, an' they're up to the stable. As soon's we go for 'em the whole teewn would be after us." During the miserable minutes which dragged by there were many sighs, much vain yearning for the peace of the Bar Z, and no spoken words. Chuck dozed once, and awoke, shuddering, freun his broken dream. Plug got ti;) ami pul his giant shoulder against the heavy door. "It can bc did." he muttered ol himself. "Come lend a hand, Chuck." "I I'll make it worse," groaned Chuck. "If we make a break feer it they'll sure ketch us. an' ihen they'll know we done it." Plug saw ihe iruih nf ilu- words, and sank hack upon the bunk, making a cigarette. Ile swept lhe match from Ilis thigh lee the paper���and suddenly elre.ppeel them both in the floor, jumping lo his feel. "There's jest . iu- man as car help us," he cried, a vast, new hope ringing in hi- voice. "A man as can tell n- if we eliel il, an', if we didn't, win. did.

But wonderful, very. very wonderful." They beamed upon each either, and waited for the first word. Ami the lirst word was: "It will cosl you ten dullars each." "I'm game!" cried the enthusiastic Chuck, with nn second eef hesitation. And Plug, neit tn be outdone, his curiosity as flaming a thing as Chuck's, added: "Same here!" Fifteen minutes later they wenl dizzily forth from the presence nf the big Injun, their senses reeling with thc suddenly acquired knowledge of things behind the veil. For a pitiful ten dollars each had gotten material to serve as food for thought uoon many a future day uf range riding. There were glories ahead of them that would make them the envy of cow-punchdom. There were dark men and light women tn be met, and it was well that they were prepared beforehand for the encounters. There wcre fortunes lying upon either hand which they could be on lhe lookout for. There were dangers lo be avoided; lucky days Upon which to play- cards; days upon which they (MM not let a six-gun out of their hands. There were wonders ahead���and for ten dollars they were warned e.f them. And, as sop to the dog of a conscience which was growling at Plug, there was an adventure ahead of them Sniffles it Sniflle was who finally lei them who, rubbing his sleepy eyes with his forearm, saw that they were ihe two cowboys wh.. hail the "coin." And five minutes later Izdubar. .Iressvd fully as tei black robe* anel flowing beard, came slowly through the velvet curtains. "You tnhl us the truth " Plug began excitedlv. "Our adventures has sure begun," interrupted Chuck. "W'e goi unknown enemies, like yeni saiel " "There's -uro wonderful happening areeun' us!" "An' what we geet to know"--Plug drew out a handful of gold, which the officer e.f the law had scorned���"we got to know: Did we do it?" Izdubar. his hand out in his favorite gesture, said sternly, albeit somewhat sleepily: "Don't say another word! You come about the robbing of tbe bank." Chuck laughed joyously, nervously. "Ain't he the sure enough magician. huh. Plug!" he cried excitedly. "He'll sure fix it all up for us." "It is alter hours," said the great Izdubar. covering a yawn with the back of his hand. "It will cost you twenty dollars each." Twenty dollars for salvation! Only- twenty dollars! Their fingers were nervously eager in sorting out two gold pieces. His fingers manifested tomething of the same esgerneti in taking the money.

And I imagine that yuu want your answer imw���tonight ?" When ihey the.light of the broken jail, ami of the posse which would be h.ii em their 'trail in the morning��� perhaps three e.r four hours from the present minute���they were forced to admit that time was a factor.

Secure iu the promises e.f the for- t'une'teller, they strode boldly down the deserted street, keenly em the lookout feer twee men eif about their [own size and build. They looked into leach saloon, carefully scrutinized the [late and usually intoxicated hangers- on, and found no one tei answer tu the description. Then each "hash house" I came in for its examination. Still no success. Four o'clock sounded, and! still me faintest clue of the men whom they sought. Half past four, and they began to look blankly into each other's drawn faces. They had been up and down the main street numberless times, sighting neither their quarry nor "Astry," in whom they were beginning to lose faith. They had hurried along the side streets, peering into every saloon and lunch counter. Now they had walked as far as the bridge, again losing hope, trying to decide whether it were best to make a run for it or return quietly to thc jail. Standing in the shadows upon the bridge, their eyes upon the half-seen rapids below them, they pondered deep and long. Plug at last laid a limp hand upon Chuck's arm.

Mr. McBride said he had gone into the record! of the municipalities of Smith Vancuuver, Richmond and Point Grey and bad come to the conclusion that the ratepayers of South Vancouver were paying $100,000 a year more than the services rendered were worth. Dealing with the various departments, Mr. McBride gave figures which he maintained showed gross extravagance and unwarrantable expenditure. lie contended that the assessor's department and the collector's department were far from satisfactory, and he said both should bc amalgamated under one competent bead. The police establishment was also upon a wrong basis, he said, and was not suitable for a municipality such as South Vancouver. He contended that a radical change should be made; that the magistrate should do his own clerking; that the police should undertake the duties of the health department, and of thc truant officer! employed by the School Hoard. Referring to the fire department Mr. McBride said the fire brigade slueuiil be composed entirely of volunteers, wilh tbe exception of one chief and "lie assistant. The building department and wiring inspector's department wer.e also criticised, Mr. McBride contending that one official in each department was ample for thc work done. The Commissioner was asked by Mr. McBride to enquire into an item ��� if $3000 given in the annual report for "travelling expenses," and to subpoena all those concerned as, he said, there must be a lot of irregularities. Commissioner Crehan pointed out that the words "and sundries" should have been added to "travelling expenses." which last year amounted to $2100, the balance of the $3000 being sundry items that could not bc classed under any particular head. Mr. McBride said that in order to do justice to the ratepayers the items composing the travelling expenses should bc given and he asked that subpoenal should be issued to bring all concerned to the stand to give an itemized account of their personal expenses. Mr. McBride made a further request, that the legal charges be investigated and the engineering department, In the latter connection Mr. McBride held that a great deal of money had been expended on Main Street and Fraser Avenue on street widening! for which the Council held no authority, because though promises of land for street widening purposes had been given the Council had not received the deeds. He maintained, therefore! that the Council had no authority to expend the money which had been spent on Main Street and Fraser Avenue and be asked that (hose responsible should be surcharged, Mr. McBride suggested that the ward system should bc abolished so lhat the councillors would not bc un der the influence of any particular section of the Municipality. Referring to donations made by tbe Council, Mr. McBride called attention to the amount of $2500 given to tbe South Vancouver Board of Trade. "I maintain," he said, "that the Board f Trade is one of the most dangerous organizations in South Vancouver. It has taken a prominent part in thc election of the Reeve and Council and is nothing more than a real estate boosting proposition from start to finish." Commissioner Crehan said the secretary eif the Board of Trade had handed in the accounts of the board for inspection, but, he said, there seemed to be a divergence of opinion in regard to the utility of the grant to the Board of Trade. Mr. George Roden asked the commissioner to enquire into a matter which had been brought to his knowledge, namely, that certain Municipal officials were charging for carfares and travelling expenses while bidding passes from the B.C.E.R. Company. Mr. Roden also asked the commissioner to enquire into the proposed paving uf Victoria Ruad from Forty- sixth Avenue to Fifty-sixth Avenue at a cost of $10,000. The points he wished investigated were: first, why the roadway was turn up in December last and left in that condition until now without anything further being done, and second, why tenders were not called for before the contract was given. On Tuesday one ratepayer made a complaint to the comniissionc re the widening of Fraser Street. Around the Municipal Hall Br "SCRUTATOR" IF YOU ARE SICK, CALL ON ERNEST SHAW, D.C.

Mr. Bursill, says it is only fit to be heard on tbe "curling pond." My old friend was only trying to poke fun at you. None knows better than he lhat no language is so full of poetry, no language can give such expressive thoughts in so few words, as the Scottish Doric. I have seen my old friend lift the bat from off his head, with his eyes cast towards heaven, exclaim, "Oh king of poets, Rabbie Burns, to thee I bend my head." The Doric, why be was enraptured with it that day. Tam O'Shanter and a Cottar's Saturday Nicht be can repeat as easily as a child can repeat its lesson. 1 must say that it is disappointing to those who are taking such an interest to foster outside athletics to see how few take advantage of the football games that are played every Saturday. Never have I seen more gentlemanly, clean-played football than is to be seen at South Hill Park. I don't speak without knowledge of the game. Sandy MacPherson will know this when I tell him that I played against thc original Hibernian team, also against Geordie Drum- mond, Heathcote, and the Ross Brothers before they went to Preston North End. Sandy says he was a follower of the Hearts. I can go back to the days when Reid kept goal and Barbour played half-back. These were the days when six forwards lined-UD, two centre forwards, right and left. Ducking was legitimate in those days, and many a one I have seen tossed clean head over heels. The ball in tbe early days was thrown with the one band in any direction. Many became so expert at the throw in that it was no uncommon thing feir a man from near midfield to throw right into goal. There were no goal net nor penalty kicks in those days. Many a sorrowful bruised figure has limped out from a melee in front of goal. Another thing, leg guards were unknown, Sandy, from my knee to my toes are more indented scars, which were received in those early days of football, than you have teeth in your head. However, go to it, my friend, 1 enjoy your writings. Wha kens, some day we may meet in the Chinook rostrum and hae a guid dram together. Speaking of football t,, reminds me that soon the International will be played. Can anyone who has ever witnessed a great game at home efface it from their memory. I have kown men to travel three and four hundred miles to see either an International game or a cup final. I don't want to prophesy, but yet I have given one or two good hits which came correct. Now here is another. Real Estate will take on a movement shortly, which will not be confined to any certain quarter, but will be well spread all over the Municipality. No great enhancement of prices will take place. Those who wish to take advantage of the movement should do so when the opportune moment arrives. If you have anything for sale and wish to sell don't attempt to hold up for too high a price as the wave may soon spend itself and leave one perched high and dry. * * * At last a Parliament has been established on Fraser Avenue. It bas met with the success it deserved. Not only was every seat applied for, but at present there are over a dozen disappointed applicants, and the number is more likely to increase. The earnestness with which tbe members entered into the debate, tbe manifest pleasure of everyone connected with the Parliament, will amply repay those who did the pioneer work However, Collingwood deserve all praise, they led in this work. That these Parliaments will now bring the various parts of the municipalities into closer touch with each other is easily seen. It was a kindly act of Premier Bayley and Speaker Kent to turn up with Mr. Bursill at the opening night. Tbe trio gave much useful information. I heard rather a good story of a man killing the goose that lays the golden egg. It appears one of our business men had built up a nice business. Along came the landlord and told his tenant that the rent must be raised. The tenant objected; however, the rent was raised, not once, but four times within eighteen months, as thc business progressed.

One builds up a strong defensive position impregnable in the player's opinion, till some move of his opponent's shows a flaw in the defence, and a moment that which was considered unassailable, begins to totter and fall to pieces. The most successful checker players are those who study not only their own side of the game but watch it also from the point of their opponents. In this manner you can anticipate every move and prepare your defence and attack accordingly. So it is in political life, in municipal life, and in our daily lives, every move has its meaning. Today the planting of a seed may be the maturing of a plant six months hence. The laying of a plank may enable us to cross the stream when the waters come. The building of a wall will shelter when the wind blows, by laying bye a few bricks we can defend ourselves when the fight begins. The looking forward and preparing for eventualities in life enables one to overcome the greatest difficulties when they beset us. The greatest generals are those who not only map out their victories, but also make provision for their defeat. THOS. J.

Joyce Street, COLLINGWOOD The Lure of the Unknown (Continued from Page 9) Not an Enterprise for the "Quitter" <& "If there is one enterprise on earth," says John Wanamaker, "that a 'quitter' should leave severely alone, it is advertising. To make a success of advertising one must be prepared to stick like a barnacle on a boat's bottom. <] "He must know before he begins it that he must spend money��� lots of it. <| "Somebody must tell him that he cannot hope to reap results commensurate with his expenditure early in the game. CJ "Advertising does not jerk; it pulls. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It increases day by day and year by year, until it exerts an irresistible power." said weakly. "An' back to the " He didn't finish. Low, guarded, but shrill enough to reach them distinctly, a whistle floated to them from across the river. Chuck clutched Plug's arm, and there was nothing limp about his grasp. "It's Astry!" be whispered. "Them gumshoes always whistle. He's found 'em!" Breathless, they waited, crouching low in thc shadows, their eyes upon the dark biota of the far side. Again the whistle, or an answer to the first. Then leiw, guarded voices. And then they made out a buckboard with a man upeen the seat. A very big man ���as big. perhaps, as Plug! And then, their hearts pounding madly, they saw a second figure hurry from the shadows and draw nearer thc man in the buckboard���and the second figure was of a short, heavy-set, squat man, very much like Chuck! The short man never put bis uplifted foot into the buckboard. There was a rush as of a stampede of wild steers over the bridge, and Plug and Chuck, at last seeing a situation with which they knew how to cope, threw themselves upon two very much surprised individuals. Chuck took the man who vaguely resembled him about the waist with two mighty arms, and flung him, sputtering incoherent, broken words, into the dust. Plug leaped, and descended upon the bigger man, dragging him bodily to the ground. The horses took fright, and bolted, smashing the buckboard against a tree. But Plug and Chuck, in the keen joy of battle, cared nothing about horses and wagon, content with the struggling men in their mighty hands. * "I got him I" puffed Chuck from a pool of shadows, sitting upon a quiet, prostrate form. "Need any help?" For a moment there came no answer. Plug was altogether too busy to talk. Then finally Chuck heard him call, breathing gaspingly: "I got him!" Chuck made a cigarette, still sitting upon his prostrate foe. Plug, getting his breath, took a position astride his victim, and rolled himself a cigarette. In the flare of his match, he smiled broadly at his companion in adventure. "An' now what?" "We'd ask Astry, but he seems to have beat it. We better take 'em to the jail an' send for the sheriff an' collec' our thousan' bucks. Huh?" Two men beaten half into insensibility were forced by relentless hands to get to their feet. They were certainly a very sick-looking pair of desperadoes. Through the silent, deserted streets they were pushed, groaning and broken-spirited. Plug and Chuck, their chests growing ever wider and deeper, marched along side by side, their right hands upon the collars of their captives. They reached the jail, and their quarry were thrust in. The door was slammed shut, and Plug's enormous frame stood propped against it. "Now, Chuck, he said, with a vast deal eef satisfaction in his tones, "you go git the sheriff. I'll keep these jaspers good until you git back." Chuck went hastily upon his errand. Plug leaned against the door and smoked. The two men inside seemed to have dropped from their low- lemed, quickly spoken words into silence. A boy, carrying milk, drew up in front of the jail. "Say, mister," he called, pausing, "who you got in the jug?" And Plug, his bosom distended with the pride in him, answered: "Them jaspers 33 robbed lhe bank.1 Me an' ol' Chuck caught 'em." The boy put down his milk cans and hurried up. "Kin I look?" he queried, going to the little, barred window. The boy tiptoed, caught the iron bars, and chinned himself so as to peer into the dim interior of the "jug." Suddenly he swung to thc ground with a soft whistle, and returned to Plug's side. "That ain't him," he said disgustedly. "Ain't who?" demanded Plug from the serene heights in which his soul had taken its dwelling. "That ain't Harris." "Who's Harris, kid?" "Don't you know?" "I sure don't. Spit it out." "Why. Harris is the cashier. The sheriff was takin' him down this way when I passed the hotel. He's confessed he did it himself." Plug whirled savagely, gripping lhe boy's shoulder in a mammoth, nervous hand. "Then who is them jaspers inside?" he cried hoarsely. Thc boy laughed. "That's Mr. Dayton an' Mr. Wiley ���the only two real preachers in town. Ihey " Strangling upon a mighty oath, Plug wheeled and ran���ran down thc street, headed toward the point where Chuck had disappeared a moment before, running as though all thc devils of which Mr. Dayton and Mr. Wiley preached were clawing with itching fingers at his coat tails. He swung into deserted Main Street, turning th' corner recklessly, and, with boe ������ heels thumping noisily upon th creaking board sidewalk, shot dowi that thoroughfare yelling franticall��� to Chuck. He saw Chuck a bloc ahead, talking to a little knot of men He swept down upon them, the blood pounding in his temples, his knee trembling even as hc ran. As h back, they heard him cry out: "The cashier done it I" Plug did not stop tee explain to lib partner. Seizing Chuck by thc arm lie bore him onward with him in mad rush to the stables. And Child seeing thc sweat running deiwn Plug face, seeing thc look in bis wide an staring eyes, did not pause to as questions. Together they shot im the stable, together found out thei horses while the stableboy was tryin lee get his eyes open, together Saddle and, with spurs digging deep, sped OUl into lhe awaking dawn. Five miles lay between them an.' nearer the Har 7. when at last, with . ureal sigh, Plug pulled in his pantil heerse. "They said the cashier done it hi self." muttered Chuck. Plug wiped his brow and nodded "Sure! An' them two guys we beal up " "Wine was they?" "They was," it came with a halt eb, "they was the two reverend preachers. Oh, hell!" "An' ol' Astry?" faltered Chuck Plug shook his bead. "He must have got his ropes tangled. He must have been working feir the sheriff." The next spurt carried them five miles before they slowed down 1" ���' walk. Chuck looked at Plug a"'' sighed a great, lung-expanding sigh "I'm a plain cow-punch, an' no gen- lleinan eif fortune about it." "First, last, an' all the time," agretd Plug heartily. "An'," went on Chuck meditatively, "it's only two hundred miles to Rocky Bend, where wc know ever - beedy, an' ever'body knows us. When a man finds he's clean off his stampin grounds he might as well head back where he b'longs. Huh. Plug?" "Which same is damn good philos- ophy." grunted Plug.

PRAIRIE FARMS A NEW ERA IN COLONIZATION Great Railway's "Back to the Land" Movement Interests Many Home Seekers Throughout Greater Vancouver���Land Seekers Go East March Twentieth. To follow the course of colonization and settlement in Western Canada reveals many interesting facts. That land seekers should "go East" from British Columbia to get back to the soil seems paradoxical. Hundreds of settlers who have spent thc past few years in Vancouver and the sur- rounding districts will leave this month to return to the glorious soil of Alberta. That over three hundred thousand far sighted home-seeking emigrants from various sections of the world have, according to Government statistics just compiled, settled throughout lhe length and breadth of prosperous and progressive Canada within the past nine months amply attests the high favor in which this fair land of ���opportunity is held by discerning people. That the foregoing figures will be greatly augmented before the close of the present year cannot bc gainsaid, when one takes into consideration that an entirely new era in the colonization of Western Canada is foreshadowed and one which will mean much to the still greater prosperity of the settler and thc country alike by the announcement just made by the ��� Iterative head of the Natural Re- -���'in-cos Department of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The Company has seven million acres of unsold land in the Prairie Provinces and the announcement is to the effect that in future no land will be sedd to speculators, but only, and direct, to settlers from North America, the Hritish Isles and Northern Europe. To insure this, terms are offered to actual settlers which in point of attractiveness have never been equalled iu the history of colonization methods. These terms are as follows: Hitherto the Canadian Pacific Railway has sold this land on a ten-year instalment basis. This period will now be extended to twenty years, unpaid instalments bearing interest at the banking rate of 6 per cent. Loans of $2,000 for farm development will be made by the company also payable in twenty years at 6 per cent. The Company will also furnish the settler, if desired, with live stock and poultry at cost price and will give him the benefit of the services of agricultural experts at its own demonstration farms. Messrs. D. E. Brown & Macaulay. Limited, General Agents for the Canadian Pacific Lands throughout the Northwest, have negotiated plans for the taking of a party of settlers from Vancouver to Alberta on March 20. A special car will be arranged for and every comfort and attention afforded all land seekers either en route or while on the prairie. the Crowley Discharged The preliminary hearing of charge against Jeremiah Crowley, dairyman, of Wales road, Seiuth Vancouver, of having caused the death .if his son, Stanley, aged 15, on March 3 last, was taken before Magistrate MeArlhur on Saturday morning, and afler hearing the evidence given al thc inquest the magistrate dismissed the charge on ihe grotltid that if the case went for trial there was no possible chance of any jury convicting on the evidence submitted. Cohan's great Minutes From Broadway." This sparkling comedy has been witnessed and enjoyed by millions and is still one of the greatest drawing cards on the stage. It will be produced at tbe Avenue with all the original scenery, costumes and lighting effects, and with the famous songs belonging to the play. The company will he much enlarged, special singers being engaged and the production is expected to set a mark for future stock productions te> imitate. The famous characters of Kid Burns and Mary will be entrusted to Del Lawrence and Maude Leone respectively, and all the other favorites will have prominent roles. Miss Leone has appeared in other cities as Mary with immense success, and Del Lawrence will make an ideal Kid Burns. The run of this piece will be positively limited to one week with the usual bargain matinees of Wednesday and Saturday, and a special matinee on Good Friday. March 21, for which evening prices will prevail. ef * * Empress Theatre A wonderful presentation of the early days of the pioneers i.e Montana is given this week at the Empress Theatre where "Northern Lights" is the bill. The action is laid in and near the army post at Fort Terry, in 1876. and officers and Indians are among the characters. The great scene in the last act where the Indians attack the command of General Crook on the Bluffs overlooking the Tongue River, is a tremendous one and is realistic to the highest degree. All the company render excellent support and the scenery is of the best, showing first the surgeon's quarters at Fort Terry, then the headquarters of Col, Gray and finally the Bluffs, where the battle takes place. The next production will be a novelty to our theatregoers. This will be a drama with the action and scenes placed in Russia. This is the first time on the local stage that a play with this background has been offered. At the present time in view of the war in the Balkans in which Russia plays a prominent part, it possesses unusual interest. The plot tells a vivid story of conditions in that country that have been a blot on modern civilization. The persecution of the Jews, the condemnation of political prisoners to Siberia, there ta labor in the mines for life, are vividly presented. The drama will utilize the services of fifty people. Soldiers. Cossacks, Hussars, Jews, students. Nihilists, officers, convicts, all figure in tbe plot. This play scored a run of one year in New York and was repeated all over the Slates. All the scenery will be exceptional-even on this stage, and will long be remembered by playgoers. A very large number of diverse characters are introduced. "Siberia" will be one of the notable presentations of th sent season. pre. Orpheum Theatre Next week the new Orpheum. one of the finest theatres on the Pacific Coast will open to the public with an excellent vaudeville bill. The open- nnmicry Comedy act number three will b furnished by Eva Williams and Joe Tucker, in that pair's ��� ell known slang classic, "Skinny's Finish," a playlet that has been received with a loud hurrah all over the country. Ed Gray is known as "The Tall Tale Teller" Ed Draws���and is said to do the same in an attractive way. Lloyd & Black are known as those enter, tabling entertainers, who will patter and sing. "Bits of Vaudeville" will be shown by Willie Hale and his brother. Thc show looks like a continuous laugh. Charles R. Sweet, billed as "The Burglar," proved to be somewhat more than a mere burglar, in fact a very amusing and musical burglar Sweet provided one of the most amusing acts of the season. He en tered to the sound of shivery "Jimmy Valentine" music, and the audience was all prepared for some regular melodrama. When the lights went up, and the burglar was seen in all his beauty, the house rocked with laughter. His make-up would entitl him to the presidency of the hoboes' association, while his musical ability gives him a place in the very front rank of vaudeville entertainers.

Tribute to Pauline Johnson On the niejtiem of Mr. J. Francis Bursill, seconded by the Premier, Mr. C. T. Bailey, and spoken to by Mr. \V. Morris, a vote of regret was passed feir the death of the Indian Poetess. An article on the funeral appears in another column. The Central Parliament The speaker, Mr. W. H. Kent, re- ported that he had attended the first meeting of the parliament held at the Municipal Hall. Collingwood should he proud of such a line child. Messrs. Bailey. Bursill and Burgess had also attended to represent Ceillingwood, anel all had a most cordial reception. There was little doubt that the new local parliament was full eef life, energy and ability, and it ceiuld cooperate with Collingwood in many movement! feir the geiod of South Vancouver. Mr. Lister (Grand Forks) suggested that at an early date the two parliaments might meet together in debate. Pure Food Mr. \Y. Morris (Fernie), as a private member, introduced a Pure Food Bill. This question of pure food is a difficult and technical question��� the importance of which merits more space than can he afforded this week. Mr. Morris. Mr. Bursill, Mr. Lister and others spoke of the importance of the matter to the health and well- being of the people, and some very startling statements wcre made as to the extent to which food is adulterated. The Minister of Justice recognized the importance of the subject, at the same time he contended that the law as it stands at present is ample for the protection of thc people . There were in the Bill, however, some suggestions worthy of consideration, and he moved that it go to a select committee. This was ultimately agreed to, and "The Chinook" hopes to give as a result some valuable information which may lead to purifying the food of the people. No "Votes for Women" The debate on "Votes for Women" was resumed���and 'ultimately the House agreed with the government that the time has not yet come for female suffrage. During the debate Mr. Donald Reid and Mr. Lester made really admirable speeches, and were cheered by the ladies' gallery. One member added a touch of humor by saying that now women ruled through the men. "You wait till your father comes home," says the mother to an unruly boy. The debate was from first to last marked by earnestness and ability. A Lady Speaks The House having formally adjourned Mrs. R. C. Hodgson, the wife of the president of the South Vancouver Board of Trade, gave a short, feeling, and eloquent address. She said she congratulated Collingwood on its parliament. She rejoiced that matters which affected the lives of the people were so ably and so earnestly discussed. She regretted that thc parliament had not recognized that women should have a voice in making the laws they had to obey, and which moulded their lives. Women were wanted in the legislature���to influence temperance. Sabbath observance, and what made home life better. Women arc wanted iu this parliament, said Mrs. Hodgson with a true womanly touch. "We would brighten you up���with eheeriuess and spring flowers." The House warmly thanked Mrs. Hodgson for her uplifting address. There were many visitors, ladies in. eluded.

Central Park Jottings In the Agricultural Hall, Central Park, on Monday night, was held the monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Central Park Agricultural Association and Farmers' Institute. The association is making full and rapid preparations for the show to be held in September, and in this connection has been seeking to obtain grants for the extension of building and grounds. Several exhibitors of last year have refused to exhibit this year unless this can be arranged. A letter had been addressed to the Minister of Finance at Victoria asking for a grant of $5000, but the Government refused to comply with the request, not considering it in thc light of a purely agricultural show. It was reported that South Vancouver would grant $300, and that Burnaby, in reply to letter asking for grant, had promised that the mat. ter should come up at thc next meeting of the finance committee. Mr. Armstrong promised his Support in writing to Mr. Sperling to seek the interest of the B.C.E.R. Company. After further discussion arising upon correspondence, it was decided lee ::s'; l'e,r lecturers in accordance with scheme outlined in a letter from the Deputy Minister and Superintendent of Institutes. The subjects chosen were, "S.eil Cultivation" and 1 'Poultry Raising and Egg Producing." and that the dates applied for should be the third week in April. It was resolved to loan the hall to the Central Park Poultry Association for their show in November, at the ordinary rates. The meeting then reverted to the question of obtaining a loan for extension purposes, and considered the matter of the catalogue for the exhibition. * * * The paving of the Kingsway thor- ughfare has now actually commenced, and parts of the road are up at both the Edmonds and Central Park ends. iniinittee." The foregoing resolution was unanimously passed at a meeting of the Ward I Ratepayers' Association, held at Carleton Hall, Collingwood, on Friday night, on the motion of Mr. J. 11. Appleby. A strong protest was recorded against a statement current in the ward that the B.C.E.R. Company dei not intend to extend the car line from Earl's Road on the Westminster Road, to the boundary at Central Park. Baker and Pringle, Collingwood The finest retail lumber yard in British Columbia unaffiliated directly with any of the large mills doing business in this province, is the proud record of Baker & Pringle, Collingwood East. Two years ago Messrs. J. A. Pringle and Thomas Baker decided to try out a new venture for British Columbia, and after looking the field over carefully decided that they would make their stand at Collingwood East. A first-class retail lumber yard was opened up and its presence iu that district has been more than justified. Messrs. Baker & Pringle carry a complete line of lumber besides all descriptions of builders' supplies. Being right on the spot they can supply the needs of builders in the Collingwood district to their utmost satisfaction in every way, and this no doubt has been the reason why they have been able to build up a large and growing business. For a great number of years Mr. Baker was timber cruising on the coatt and during that time had occasion to acquire a thorough knowledge of the lumber business. Mr. Pringle is also a practical man, having been with Small & Bucklin, New Westminster, prior to joining in partnership with Mr. Baker. ie ^ i . Factory Changes Hands In building a small home or a mansion it is essential to have the structure equipped with the very best sashes and doors, frames, etc. Well- made sashes and doors often represent the difference between a first- class and scond-class house. ^ The Collingwood Sash and Door Factory at Collingwood West has recently changed hands, having been taken over by Messrs. Capp and Tilbury. Both these men are thoroughly experienced and it will be their endeavor to not only turn out the very besl sashes and doors but they would like to be called in to give assistance where thc advice of competent and practical men is required, New machinery is being added to the equipment of this company at Collingwood West, and builders would do well to keep them in view. A particularly interesting lecture was delivered in the Collingwood Methodist Church on Monday night, when the Rev. George Pringle spoke on "My Mission Work in the Klon- dyke" to a very appreciative audience. A NEW SUIT FOR EASTER WILLIAM CLEFT Experienced Ladies' & Gent's Tailor Corner Fifty, sixth and Fraser Ladies' or Gent's Suits, $25 up Livingstone Centenary The coming week will sec the 100th anniversary of the birth of David Livingstone, the great African explorer. W. J. Bursill is doubtless the only man in South Vancouver who ever saw the great traveller. He has made a study of Livingstone's life, and will see that the Centenary is observed at Collingwood. Mr. Bursill has also offered to 'tell "The Story of Livingstone" in our schools���an offer which the school trustees will no doubt accept. I mm ��� "Men, Women and Books" In consequence of pressure on our space "Men. Women and Books" is held over until next week. Felix Penne will next week contribute an article of exceptional interest. i^i Don't forget the St. Patrick's Supper and Concert on Monday, March 17, in thc Westminster Presbyterian Church, corner Twenty-sixth and Sophia; 35c admission, for good supper and good music. Collingwood Feed Store An important addition to thc business life of Collingwood has recently been made in the form of the Collingwood Feed Store. This new store is located at the B.C.E.R. siding at I Collingwood East where the proprietor. Mr. J. Postlethwaite, carries a full line of hay, grain, poultry supplies, etc. Mr. Postlethwaite prides himself that he can supply his patrons at city prices and he is in a position to take care of either large or small eerders at the shortest possible notice. Emerson at Collingwood ��� There has just been added to the Collingwood Library a beautiful medallion of Ralph Waldo Emerson. This is the work of Mr. Noel Bursill, who was a member of the British Columbia Society of Artists, but has now gone back to London. Hc has presented this specimen of his work to the Collingwood Library. Mr. J. Francis Bursill says that he is frequently asked for "Emerson's Essays," "Emerson's Representative Men," and other books by the great author. The Collingwood Library has no bool s by Emerson and the librarian, Mr. J. Francis Bursill, asks that anyone who has any of Emerson's books to give away will kindly send them to the Library, Collingwood East, or drop a post card and he will fetch them.
