Price 5 cents South Vancouver Board of School Trustees Upholds Union Labor in Coal Purchases Rather Unique Stand Taken by Board Causes Furore of Criticism in Several Quarters, But Board Stands Firmly When tbe tenders were opened at the Board of School Trustees meeting the either night, it was found tei the satisfaction of the members of the board that the quotations on Jingle Pol coal���tlle product which the board promised to give preference���were lower than those furnished mi any other Canadian coal. Four dollars a ton was quoted on coal from the United States, but tin- hoard refused to consider this tender. The contract for 153 tons of Jingle Peit coal was awarded to the Coast Lumber and Euel Ceimpany, a local firm, at $7.W per ton. The actions of the hoard iu considering, ill its call fnr tenders, the strike at Nanainiei, aroused the wrath of many who stood in favor of the mine owners, but the members stuck to their guns in tbe matter. A local concern, tlle South Vancouver Builders' Supply Company, submitted a lender for coal from lhe pits of the companies at Nanainiei, who bad made settlements with the strikers. However, the Jingle Pot figure was lowest and the contract was awarded accordingly.

[ when all the many features e.f the big fair will have been completed. Tin- big, roomy buildings will bc filled with exhibits. The buildings themselves are spick and span and just about ready fe>r the thousands of displays which thev will bouse. Outside, the small army of gardeners, weerking all summer long, have I converted the grounds into a series of lawns and flower beds. Nothing has been neglected, nothing left un- I done for the comfort and convenience "I" the visite.rs who will flock I from all parts of the pr.evince. Special fans will he granted by the transportation companies to Vancou- I ve r Exhibition visitors. The Dominion Government will show ten divisions eef exhibits from its Experimental Farms branch. Its live ste.ck branch will be packed with interesting displays, and wool exhibits will complete its display. The Provincial Government will show a wealth of timber and forestry products. Ils display of finishing woods, made up in little rooms and offices, its photographs and maps, to- g.-ilu-r with its experts and its literature will contribute in no small way to the knowledge which British Columbians already have of their own province. Thc skid-road, the big amusement re w, will be filled with good things. The industrial exhibits, the women's i liilni-. the naliy show, the horticulture display, the stock pens, the horse , races and every "tiu-r feature has been improved. This year the management slarie-ei out to make tbe fair better than ever before. And the fair will be a splendid success. Mr. W. A. Pound has disposed of liis residence on Quebec Street, the deal taking place last week. It is understood that the price paiel for this splendid property indicates clearly that South Vancouver has ���weathered the storms of the past year and a half in a manner to put! the pessimists to route. Mr. Pound has also disposed of his business block in llle 5900 block, Fraser Street. It is understood that the ex-reeve | will likely build in the near future on a plot of land owned by him ��� the Rowlings Road. North]Arm Development Proceeds,Regardless oj Rumours Little Troubles in the Life of a London Bobby Drawing by Mr. W. Leney. Denman Street, Vancouver, based on the following paragraph in the Vancouver "Province:" "While a London policeman was dragging two militants to prison, he was approached from the rear by a third, who cut hir. suspenders in twain. While the officer stopped to 'brace up' the pris oners escaped." r7= Tin esc interested in the development of the North Arm of the Fraser have been slueckcd at reports arising from Burnaby to the effect that the Burnaby Council now refuses to give the municipality's cheque to the Harbnr Board for the amount stated, when all the municipalities decided to contribute to the preliminary expenses nf the commission. An informal discussion on the proposed grant of $7,500 to the North Arm Harbor Commission fnr preliminary plans te. be sent to Ottawa for a forty font channel fnr thc North Arm of the Eraser River, was the feature of the meeting of the finance committee eif Burnaby Council. Councillor Reese, chairman of the committee, reported that he hail been informed by one "f the members of the commission that already $2.K0O had been spenl on the Burnaby end ���of the proposed plans, and that it was the intention of the commission to see that llurnaby was to get its share of the work that was to be done. Me also slated that Burnaby would get the first consideration on all of thc work on account of the large number of industries that .wanted to locate in the municipality, Councillor McDonald stated that he would not fall "fnr a big real estate bluff" such that he alleged that this was. lie with Councillor Bevan ���could not see why a survey of the North Arm would enst $50,(XX), when the survey uf the main river only ���cost in the neighborhood of $15,000. Councillors Rose and F'auVel wanted to work for Burnaby and all of Burnaby, and they wcre of thc opinion that lhe proposed plan would bring several industries to the district. After a motion had been made to lay the question on the tabic for an indefinite period, tha clerk informed them that this matter was out of order, as it had been acted on by the council, as a bylaw for the grant had already passed its first and second reading. Reports published in the daily papers early lasl week stated that if llurnaby did not contribute the amount promised, the Harbor Commission would immediately take steps lee have llurnaby boycotted, so far as river development along the muni-1 cipality's southern boundary is concerned Thi- story was absolutely'denied by the Harbor Commission, through Commissioner R, C. Hodgson, who slated iu an interview that the board was nol inclined lo resort to such tallies, Hurnaby. he said, might contribute, or might not, which ever its conscience dictated, but that the general development of the harbor woulil proceed on the lines originally planned. CAPT. J. B. HOLDEN RETURNS TO CALGARY Puts His O. K. on Oil Prospects in the Vicinity of the Cattle Town, and Says All Is Optimism. Captain J. II. Holden. after a few- days spent at his home in South Vancouver, has returned to Calgary, where he has large interests in llle oil fields. Captain Holden is enthusiastic over the prospects in the fam- ixis oil tlistrict, and while he urges conservatism on the part of Investors, is strongly of the opinion that the ultimate outcome of the frequent strikes made will be of vast interest to the prosperity of the West. Captain Holden, who sat for many years in the Alberta Legislature, knows every foot of the province and is in a splendid position to gauge the possibilities of thc country. City Builders Take a Day off And Foregather at Historic Ganges Harbor Investigations, treasury certificates, school debentures, paving contracts, civic centres, money bylaws, irate- ratepayers, the European war scare, elections for 1915���all these subjects and many others were laid aside at an early hour tlii-- morning, when all the civic fathers of Greater Vancouver threw dignity, prestige and worry to the winds, mounted the Princess May gangplank, and sailed off to Ganges Harbor for the first general municipal picnic in the history of tin- city. All tin- municipal halls and city halls from the Boundary to Squamish are deserted, save for the odd policemen left to guard the money boxes. Several hundred reeves, mayors, councillors anel aldermen were on board the boat, and with them were their wive-, sweethearts. Board of Trade officials from the various municipalities, Harbor Cotn- missionets and score- of men and women identified with the administration of the various civic corporations. There wore several bands and lots of refreshments, and the picnic has every indication of being an important milestone in the forward march of Greater Vancouver. Following is a programme of sports to be run off in the afternoon, for the various events there being provided by the committee expensive anil artistic prizes. 1���Boys' race (12 years anil under) 50-yard ilash, open. 2���Girls' race (12 years and under) 50-yard dash, open. 3���Three-leg race, 100-yard (staffs'). -I���Ladies' 75-yard dash, open. 5���Wheelbarrow race, 50 yards. 6���Men's 100-yard dash, open. 7���Running high jump. 8���Ladies' nail-driving contest. 9���Fat men's race. 200 lbs. and over (councils), 10���Ladies' egg ami spoon race. 50 yards (staffs). 11���Two-mile walking race. 12���Tug-of-war (staffs.

Victoria Road to be Paved and South Vancouver Workmen Will Do the Work With the decision of tbe council to proceed with the pavin- of Victoria Road, a ripple of Optimism has appeared on the surface of tbe South Vancouver labor market. Tbe new- contract being awarded will mean that employment will be provided for over a hundred men from the time the start is made on thc contract���and these men will be bona fide residents of South Vancouver. Work on the P.ndwcll Road contract is being rushed forward by the company who have it in charge��� the Columbia Bitulithic Company, who have also succeeded in securing the Victoria Road contract. On Bodwell, the hillocks and chasms which formerly made that stretch of p.ael between Main and Fraser streets unique among modern highways, are being lowered and filled, and there is being wrought out of thc right-of- way a splendid table-top grade. Un the Bodwell contract, the company have been particular to emph^y ��� ���nly local residents and ratepayers, and the only men engaged on that work from outside of S'euth Vancouver are the superintendents, who had tee be imported because of their technical training for the work. The feeling is expressed in many quarters that the carrying out of the Victoria Road contract will tide over the laboring people- of the community eluring this rather trying period in the development of the district. ===:i) Local Items of Interest The Young People's Guild of Knox Church, Collingw, ei ed ICast. have arranged a fine entertainment to be given in the Bursill Institute on Friday, the 30th of July. e* * * Mr. George Pollock of Collingwood East, wh-e had just returned after abemt a year in lhe General Hospital with a serious fracture of the knee, had the misfortune to suiter an acute attack of appendicitis for which an operation was necessary.

That's what an advertiser said aboul the telephone directory the other day. He has an article that very many people want. They might not want it just at the moment they read his Ad., but they see the announcement so often that when they do want what he has to offer they have no difficulty whatever in getting him on the telephone. Thev know just where to find his number. Thai's what makes an Ad. count. An advertiser of a staple article is looking into tbe future. He is crcating-a demand by persistently suggesting the use of what be puts forward. He knows the time will come when people will want something of the kind, and naturally they will turn to where they have read about it. If the Ad. is in the telephone directory, it can be referred to in a moment. The directory, being always kept in a known place, is instantly available, and thc Ad. is located without delay. The virtues of an advertising medium are: A large circulation; to bring the name prominently to the attention of many people, and to be bandy so that when an article is wanted the prospective buyer knows exactly where to locate information concerning it. The telephone directory is just such an advertising medium. British Columbia Telephone COMPANY, LIMITED Dominion Equipment & Supply Co.

With the overwhelming majority of the votes in tlle province ill their hands, and with the McBride Government recognized irom the first as hostile towards their interests, the labor men on the coast have recorded the magnificent achievement of allowing McBride to secure almost a unanimous legislature. This consummation has been brought about not by any great astuteness upeen McBride's part, for lie has but little, bul by factional differences among tiie labor men themselves. Socialists, syndicalists, straight-line labor men and radicals have BO divided their support that with the exception of a couple of constituencies the victory of the McBride fences was made easy. If the experiences in the coal strikes on the island bring the labor forces of Hritish Columbia to a realization that divisions among themselves ov-r fine-spun philosophies cannot fail to defeat their own ends, it will at least have accomplished some good. When once they realize this and get onto a basis i'i some working arrangement with the party which is nearest to them, as the labor men have done in Great Hritain. they will have no more difficulty with the McBride Government." * * * Workmen's Compensation Law in Ontario. The new Workmen's Compensation Legislation recently passed in Ontario, is directly the outcome "i the work of the Trades ami Labor Congress of Canada, assisted by organized labor throughout the province, including thc representatives of tlle great railway brotherhood organizations, and is generally conceded to be among thc lust oi the Workmen's Compensation Acts in the world. There is nn eleeubt lhat the successful passage of the measure iu ils present shape was greatly assisted by the courage of Sir William Meredith, whei investigated the whole question. and made recommendations to the ministration ^^^^^^foiie under it- pro- in all other respects. It has lo be stated, however, that the Trades and Labor Congress did its utmost to | have every worker in the province come under the collective scheme eif insurance, and every industry pay to the insurance department its premium. Schedule 3 specifies six industrial ��� ii-i-.ises. fm- which compensation is to be paiil to the worker, in tin- same way as if an accident had happended in the industry, the disease being considered equivalent tee an accident, as these diseases an- the result of the occupation "i the worker. Simply -peaking, llu- old law has been wiped out. In its place is a Compensation Act. based upon state insurance, tlu- cosl t" In- borne by the I industries in the province.

It is also an ibligation t" tlu- Btate to see that the dependants of the wage earner injured or killed are provided ior. the cost oi this to be borne by the industries and enter into tin- cost ' i production. 'ihi-. oi course, is merely a glimpse of legislation.

He adds that the only way the Liberals may hope to overthrow the Conservatives in British Columbia is to raise large numbers of babies. Thus, in twenty years time. Mr. Bowser says, the Liberals will be strong in numbers. There is food for thought in Mr. Bowser's coarse jest. A government which stands for the rich as against the poor, does not welcome a large birth rate. A government which holds a bare bayonet at the empty stomach of the workingman who is fighting for his rights, seldom legislates for the babies of the land. A government which drives mothers and babies into the tenements of the cities and holds the great open spaces for the rich and the childless, usually jeers at all things pure���and at the purity of the babies. A government, which in eleven years' time does no act to make the raising of children a lighter task for the working people of the state, is a corrupt and monstrous thing. ' i UNION LABOR; CHEAP COAL. DURING the coming winter the 5,000 pupils attending South Vancouver schools will study their lessons in class rooms made comfortably warm by heat from furnaces, in which will burn British Columbia coal mined tinder fair conditions. South Vancouver's school population, for the mosl part children of working parents, has been saved by an intelligent Board of School Trustees from becoming an innocent party to the injustice which is at present being worked upon the great body of the miners on Vancouver Island. In calling for tenders for the annual coal supply. the School Board expressly stipulated that fuel mined tinder fair conditions by union labor would be given preference. When the tenders were opened, it is interesting to state, the product of the Jingle Pot Mine, one of the few Vancouver Island properties on the fair list, was quoted at a lower price than any other Canadian coal. THE GREATER VANCOUVER PICNIC. TO the holding of the joint municipal picnic today at Ganges Harbor a great deal of significance may be attached. The event will mark the first time in the history of Greater Vancouver that a true spirit of goodwill among the various units of Greater Vancouver has been outwardly shown. Among the many changes time is bringing about on the Pacific Coast is a reversal of the old parochial sentiment in the municipalities. The gentlemen in whose hands rest the administration of South Vancouver. Burnaby, the City of Vancouver and the other sister municipalities are beginning to realize that what is for the benefit of the one is for the common good. With the passing of the sub-division game, this feeling of goodwill is taking stronger hold. The social gathering nf the mayors, reeves, aldermen, councillors and municipal employees is to be made an annual event. It is the hope of Mayor Baxter and the officials from the municipalities who have promoted the cejebratioti, that each succeeding year may see the ties of municipal friendship and co-operation more closely drawn together. THE LAND QUESTION. OF course, anything that any of the leaders of the opposition party has said in Hritish Columbia touching upon the land question has been stamped by ��ir Richard McBride and his colleagues as merely the vaporings of men, who, out of office, would like to regain office. During the past few weeks, the British Columbia land question has been discussed from an absolutely non-partisan point of view by leading men. Mr. George Bury, vice-president of the Canadian acific Railway, says that the scheme of development being followed iii British Columbia today "is a travesty on common sense." This is rather strong language for the vice-president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Mr. Bury, however, makes his statement upon mature investigation and consideration r( the affairs of the province from all angles. "Hritish Columbia today," the vice-president said, "has got its other great wealth-producing sources of fishing, lumbering and mining fairly well organized, but if the vast areas of the province which can be adapted to agriculture were all placed under production, it would obtain far more wealth than from the other three sources combined." McBRIDE'S OPINION OP STEVENS. SIR RICHARD McBRIDE'S personal organ, the Victoria "Week," has the following editorial touching upon the Komagata Maru incident: At the last the Hindus, who for the past two months ing its naval contingent, be made to dance to the tune that the clown prescribed. The view of the "Week" is that a man who started his campaign by denouncing the courts of British Columbia and declaring that they could not bt trusted to give an honest judgment should have been promptly disqualified from taking any further hand in the proceedings. The peaceful ending of a protracted and quite unnecessary squabble was due to the fact that wiser men came on the scene. The immigration authorities should have been left strictly alone, and neither member nor mayor should have been allowed to interfere. Both were more intent on catching votes than on securing the administration of British law in that dignified manner which befits it. The issue was never in doubt; Canada is, and will, remain a white man's country, and the only feature of a great national and Imperial question which has been specially emphasized by the incident of the Kamagata Maru is that the sooner an Imperial conference to discuss the immigration laws of all sections of the Empire is convened the better. CAUSE AND EFFECT LIBERAL 'BECORD PREFERENCE EffoRT foJEUltf "Mupnoury To CHEAfEU The Laurier Government went out of power on a policy of wider markets Sttid better prices for the great masses of the producers of Canada with the removal of unnecessary traiff burdens on consumers, tending to decrease the cost of living. K&aatm���.������...**.��-��� The Borden Government came into power as the champions of high protection, of the Big Interests and of tariff restriction for the basic industry of agriculture. im.ii iin����� i n i u i Three years of Borden rule have shown which policy is right. The tariff has been revised upwards, taxation and expenditure have been greatly increased, the Big Interests have been lavishly assisted, the demands of Agriculture for wider markets have been refused, and as a logical result the cost of living has steadily increased. Liberalism during the last session of Parliament pointed the moral of tariff restriction, of business depression, of unemployment and of rising cost of living. Free wheat, free flour, free agricultural implements and tariff revision downwards instead of upwards are the first steps of permanent economic justice and permanent relief from fictitious industrial expansion with recurring periods: of depression. The Government refused a single measure of relief. , is filled with great lakes and rivers. The Canadian youth should know how to swim. We remember very well how, as a small boy, our timidity kept us for long months from venturing beyond our depth. We recall how one day a great fellow, with kindness of heart (oh, how cruel it seemed then) took us on his shoulder away out into the deep, threw us over into the water, and said, "Xow. sink or swim." We swam, at least in a kind of way, and our confidence was aroused. Once, since then, we have been able to save ourself from a watery grave. Referring again to the great Empress disaster, we are well aware that hundreds were unable to do anything to help themselves. They died imprisoned. But we are certain that many more could have been rescued if they had learned the art of swimming. It is a graceful art and healthful. D BY THE WAY ��� have been literally anchored in Burrard Inlet, have folded their tents, like the Arabs, and as silently stolen away. After the arrival of Commander Hose there was no fuss and no resistance. The Hindus asked that the shi]) be properly provisioned, and expressed their willingness in that event to leave at once. As soon as it was provisioned they left. Even the newspaper correspondents, who have been lashing themselves into fury during thc last few weeks and predicting all sorts of violence, were forced to admit that, once a decision was reached, the conduct of the Hindus was unexceptionable, and they went away literally without a murmur. It is difficult to resist the conclusion thai if thev had been treated differently from the first they would have left immediately the decision of the Appeal Court was made known. Perhaps it is undesirable to dwell at any great length on certain features of an incident which has provoked world-wide amusement, anil which will undoubtedly furnish the theme for many a dramatic story in the bazaars of India. There never was any doubt as lo the validity of our immigration laws: there never was any doubt that those laws were supported to the full by public Opinion; there never was any doubt that the immigration authorities would enforce the law- hut what sane man could have conjectured was that irresponsible politicians would have been allowed to stage-manage a pantomime-in which a member of parliament would play the part of clown, and every branch of the Dominion Government service, includ- AD. FRAUDS. IF an evil is allowed to grow until it has attained the stature of a giant, there will arise sooner or later some Jack-the-Giant-Killer, who will put his axe at the root of the matter. We call attention here to the weapon which our Federal House has prepared: "Ottawa, May 5.���Hon. C. J. Doherty, Minister of Justice, has given notice of an act to amend the Criminal Code. The purpose of it is to make those wdio knowingly publish or cause to be published, false and fraudulent advertising, criminally responsible." We do not believe that the Minister has gone far enough in his bill, but we are gratified to know that a start has been made and we arc confident that the day will come when our press, daily, weekly and monthly, shall be free from objectionable and damnable features, says the "Public Health Journal." Ad. frauds have been British Columbia's greatest curse. LEARN TO SWIM. HOW many tragedies will it take to impress upon our people that every boy and girl, man and woman, should learn to swim? That great disaster in the St. Lawrence, which ploughed so deep a furrow in our Canadian life, teaches us that with but two exceptions, those who survived were those who ��vam. The others sank like lead. Lack of con deuce begat fear and fear acted as a sinker. Canada IT IS STATED that the War Department at Ottawa is having a limited number of medals .struck off, to be pinned to the manly chests of the man who made the midnight raid on the Hindu ship. When the story of II. H. Steven's life will be written many years hence, this information will likely be given: "lhe great statesman was an ardent Imperialist. Though he would not at any time in his wonderful career pay the price of a drink, he was at all times willing to pay the price of Empire. I le made a name for himself in the Spanish-American War, when he fought with the American forces, and added lustre to his name in the Hindu War in Vancouver in July, 1914. During this trouble, he led the forces at the battle of Hull Run in Burrard Inlet. 'Is Surgint Stevens here?' asked the general in charge on the eve of the Bull Run engagement. 'Present.' was the reply. Aery well,' said the general, 'the battle may now proceed.' " * # # THE CONSERVATIVE HEXCHERS yelled at the Ganges Harbor picnic, "Long live our Napoleon."

Grinville Str.et Racing at much talked of Minoru Park. in the village uf Mohill, County Lci- irim, Ireland, on the 13th of April, 1854. Shortly after, his father, an officer in the Royal Irish Constabulary, moved to the village of inwley, on thc Hay of Donegal. It was in this village that the future poet's education began, under a worthy and capable schoolmaster, 6f whom in after years he spuke in terms of if- fectionate gratitude. While he was still a boy, thc family emigrated tu Canada, where the father in a few months died, leaving but limited means for the support of wife and children. William Henry soon found it necessary to leave school, to earn whal hc could to help provide for the family. Having learned telegraphy, he was employed at Horde a Plouffc. a ���small village un the Riviere des Prairies, near Montreal. It was here that he first observed the speech and customs of the Habitant, whom, with lhe kindliest intent, Ile has so faithfully portrayed. In time, the family exchequer permitted him tei attend the High School at Montreal, later McGill University, and finally, Bishop's College, where he graduated in medicine in 1KK4. Dr. Drummnnd practised his profession for four years in the district of Bronte, anil then returned to the City of Montreal, where he continued to reside until his lamented demise in 1907. At forty years of age, Dr. Drum- mond married Miss May Harvey, of Savannah la Mar, Jamaica. In Mrs. as to bring the poet fame, ai'ul a substantial income ill royalties. It was followed by "Johnnie Courteau and other Poems" in 191)1: nv "Phil-o'- Ruin's Canoe and Madeleine Ver- cheres" in 190.1. and by "The Voyageur and either Poems" in 1905. Poemt unpublished at the lime of his death were edited and published with the afore-nii'iitinncd memoir, by his wife, iu lyuy. Much of the last tvvei years of his life. Dr. Drtininioud spent in the Cobalt district, where he had mining interests, Oierc he was stricken wilh cerebral hemmorrhage and died iu the morning of April 6th. 10117. Probably no other Canadian poet has been su widely mourned. * * * The Last Portage I'm sleepin' las' night w'en I dream a dream.

The writer gives the following amusing picture eef the peculiar position held by these vagabond! among the tor- pid herel ni the paper's regular composing staff: Along the from e.f my father's eeffice anil about a foot from the ground was a broad ledge whereof the architectural purpose was then anel remain-, with me mysterious, bul of which the practical use was toward the summer repose of weary printers, We were a morning paper, and ciem- piisitieni began with ns al the somewhat unusual lueiir e>f half-past two in the afternoon. Before twelve o'clock the printers were we ent tei appear to distribute type f.er the day's .-citing, an operation called in the trade "getting in their cases." Between the time when Iheir cases were filled anel half-past two they had usually some space for leisure, which, in fair weather, they passed upon the ledge, for the office Btood on the shady siele eef tlle streel. Then iu lhe group's centre could be -ecu one of my friends from the freight cars fining in state as became royalty, grave, impassive, taciturn*, gazing straight before him. wrapt in serious tin.light. Tn him behold e.n either lide three or four of lhe local con- lingcni. the pillars of mir regular force, turning a respectful attention that they might hear whal wildoni should chance tn fall from august lips. Ile was dirty and they were clean; he was ragged and they were whole; he was disreputable and disorderly, and they were of the straight walk. But, lo, how honor peereth in the meanest habit! This freiwsy perse ni had travelled; he hael lived in New Veerk; iu a large familiar way he talked "f Ann Sireet and Park Row; he had seen cities of men and manners, and of bis vocation he was marveloiisly an expert, a magician e.f the types who made ihcm fly under the bewildering compulsion of his grimy hand. On thc ledge the group feels an impulse to silence, wailing for greatness tei speak first. There has been talk of N'ew York. Ihe newspaper Mecca eel theisc that dared; N'ew York, the far-away shrine of perfect printing, the wonderful metropolis, in the mists eef imagination looming great and strange. "Is old Hill Smith still night editor em The Herald?" one ventures nl last, willing i.e she.w a familiarity with matters metropolitan, The great man shifts his tobacco, turns slowly, ami for an instant, upon his questioner a look .ef ��entle pity as e.f one very patient with the ignorance anient him. and once more gazes slraighl to the fore. Then from the oracle .1 solemn voice: "���< lhl Hill Smith's heen dead these two years." At which silence reigns again. Many of these men came back year after year at about the same time to the same towns. They were awaited with eagerness, as eagerly as one I.inks forward to some fascinating adventure. They brought with them i to the staid little force in the smalltown newspaper office a breath freem a world eeiitsiile that each regarded j as the laml of his desire, but for liim as far away and unattainable as any | seacoasl of Uohemi. So these unsmiling, silent, capable vagabonds of newspaperdom were welcome wheresoever tliey might roam, anel their < periodic rearrivals were watched for with unabated interest. They became as much a pari of the towns they I visited as the oldest inhabitant him- Self. Mr. Russell continues: Of this tribe was one whose real; name had been lost in years of con-1 tincnlal wandering, but was known to US as "Scotty." He was past fifty, a sandy man gone gray, and in despite e.f much liquor and bard living singularly active and even athletic; sheirt. sepiat and powerful. He must have begun with a good education, for he knew the classics and once corrected a local clergyman in a quotation from "Aeneid," of which this rugged person was genuinely fond. Of bis origin as of his name he was rccticcnt. but it appeared he bad served in a Northern regiment in the Civil War and hail mm distinction, which he had thrown away for elrink.

For the difficulties of heael writing he had a marvelous facility, and I used to wonder at a man that had Mich command over apt, pithy and forceful expressions and had maele for his own advantage >ee little use ol it. In time he he- came communicative, and bit by bit I gathered the thread of his adventures. After the war he had felt an odd desire to return to the Snuth. an.l fe.r year- he passed or was buffeted from e,ne Southern city to another, the victim usually of seeme misadventure. He had shared in the establishing of the carpetbag government of Seeuth Carolina and had narrowly escaped shooting by the disaffected populace. He had trieel to edit a newspaper in Mississippi, and some too candid criticism of local society having aroused a prejudice against him, he approached his office one day to find it poisessed by a mob that had thoughtfully brought a rope to hang him. In good time- he dodged into a corn field, where he lay all day. having the rare pleasure of hearing discussed the exact manner of his killing if he should be taken. He had known that eccentric genius, Will II. Kernan. and had set type <>ti the Oklahoma States. Once he became sole compositor, proof reader, and assistant to a man that for prudential reasons published a newspaper freun 'i flat heeat moored in the Mississippi kiver between two States. The papers when printed wcre ferried ashore at night and. I think, smuggled into the post office. Some of the editor's remarks liming reached an unendurable frankness, offended fathers and brothers gathered one day mi opposite hanks of the river and took pot-shots at the boat and its occupants. The editor, ensconced in the be w with two rifles and some revolvers, answered in kind, while Scotty tired tee get Below the water- line', and well-aimed shots came through the deck-house. Some indications of a long siege appearing ��� ni shure. where a rope hung suggestively from a tree-limb, the editOT cul the cable al night and drifted oul of range. Scotty's next appearance was in New Orleans, where he had been a witness of the uprising that drove out the carpetbaggers, and where he had even held office, being for twenty- four hours tbe cuatodian of some thousands of dullars of the public funds lie escaped by nighl from Xew Orleans and made his way to Texas, but stopped "ii the way to buy a weekly newspaper, feir five dollars in gold and an unused ticket tn Waco. He found the bargain dear. for the enterprise was plastered with mortgages and the office beset by angry creditors; and he left by the hack door, travelling (by freight! to Texarkana. There he managed .1 shooting gallery for a man that was compelled by circumstances over which he lacked control to a hurried departure fremi town, whither he never returned.

Thai is a condition which will come if matters are left to themselves to proceed as they have proceeded al other limes and in other ages, and in other countries. History will repeal itself unless something is done to prevent it, and I put il to you that the problem that is up to the intellect of this twentieth century is whether we- have brains and capacity enough to free ourselves from the prejudices and the shibboleths with which our minds are encumbered, and grapple with these present problems mi lhat society shall control its own destinies, and avoid tlle evils which have dogged the footsteps of progress in the past. "You, perhaps, are not called em to deal directly with the question eef economic policy, but you must necessarily study the economic condition under which yenir work is to bc (bene. You can give us what we want oil the technical, the local and the municipal side. You can give us the frame work into which the ideal conditions, when discovered, are to be titled. As to the answer to the (pies- lion which 1 have propounded, there- is in my own mind no doubt that it is impossible to give any single answer to the question, No one theory explains the fact. It is a composite problem! it require* a composite answer. So far as the physical epilations involved arc concerned, il is beyond a doubt that until lately the growth of congested districts followed by the growth of slums and ihe habits of living, which have resulted by reason of people for generations living in undesirable circumstances, has been in the main due to the lack of transportation facilities which wquld enable the residential area to be extended. Other obvious reasons are the lack of systematic oversight and foresight, crowding, and the rapid growth of population for which no adequate provision has been made. We have now arrived at the period at which if any large or growing city has not a proper system of transportation, it has only itself to blame; the remedy lies at hand, and as to other difficulties, the experience which has now been ac- cpiired is sufficient, if properly applied, to eradicate most of thc evils. "We have invited you here tei help up to begin the attack on broad, comprehensive principles, and the purpose that we have in view is "to secure the basic legislation which will enable the whole question of Town Planning and Housing to bc carried on in Canada in a scientific, systematic, and orderly fashion. What is the best legislative foundation for this purpose will be for your consideration and discussion and I have no doubt that tin." result will be of the greatest value. "What I desire to say to you in closing is that the question you are engaged upon is lhe greatest material question in the world today. It is more important than flying machines or wireless telegraphy, battleships or armies. It has to do with lhe health and happiness of the average citizen, with the abolition of wretchedness and unhappiness. Tic solution of it will bring health ami happiness t ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ our fellow men."���Hon.

There is a notable show of small fruit, mostly from the okanagan.

A feature of the fruit exhibit is a collectieeii of British Columbia apples, put in ceeld steerage last fall and still in first-class shape and flavor. Another is a handsome pyramid of bottled fruits of all kinds, large and small, retained by a special process in the exact ceilor and shape of anture. At the Opposite side of the room is arranged a striking display of the finished products of British Columbia's immense forest areas. Moulding, siding, three-ply veneer panels, doors have been worked to sheiw tiie exquisite beauty of the grain while a section of the re.eif gives an excellent idea of the odd two billion shingles annually produced in the province. Photographs arranged under the roof to give the life history of the shingle from ils inception in the tangled forest eif a coast range limit te. ils complete state, covering the roof of a millionaire residence in Vancouver. Beautifully finished models of the- food fishes, which abound alike in the numerous lakes and streams e.f the interieer and in tlle seas, which wash the coast of the province, are arranged along the sides of the building, while a large block of ice in one corner contain a fresh specimen of the famous British Columbia salmon, as he appears before being gathered to his fathers ill tiie can of commerce. In the centre of the room is displaced a very representative collection of specimens of the mineral wealth of the province, the gold- COpper ores of Rossland, the silver- lead ores nf Rossland, the silver- bad nres of the Slocan, asbestos from llle Tiilameen River, Copper from tlie Boundary country and Vancouver Island, gypsum from Spat- sum, zinc ore and iron ore, all selected from actual working properties, and giving an excellent notion of tlie resources of the province in this respect, which though really quite in the infancy of actual production, yet make up the very respectable annual output e.f thirty million dollars. One end of the building lias this year been devoted to the puropses of a lecture room, in which Mr. W. A. Lang, the commissioner of the British Columbia exhibit, proposes to entertain his visitors daily iiith moving pictures and colored views of Hritish Columbia, its fruit farms, fisheries, begging camps, canneries, ils cities and countrysides, and aspects of various activities and industries of the province generally.

Once as be clung tei the bumpers of a freight car a mad or intoxicated brakenian had fired five revolver shots at him and every shot had clipped or gone through SoUty's hat.

He said there were six in the party, and so great was the terror they inspired that the farmers used to come every nn lining with presents of milk and chickens and bread; but as a matter of fact the tramps were the most harmless of men and had barely the courage to steal watermelons and green corn at night.
