FEBRUARY 18, 1910. No. 41 HERE AND THERE It is (o be hoped that the council will vote the money: asked for by the Markets and Industries Committee for -advertising purposes. It is exceedingly important that we should let the world know the opoprtunities for manufactures presented by Vancouver. That such openings exist is proved by the success attending such industries as are already established. It is doubtful if "any considerable percentage- of our citizens realize the rapidity with which the manufacturing interests of the city are expanding. Unfortunately our people do not display as much interest in the matter as they should. We are so busy making money in property that we do not take time to consider how tue property in question is ultimately to earn the revenue necessary to justify tue investment. Certainly no great city can be sustained without manufacturers, and the sooner Vancouver begins to take vigorous action in recognition of this fact, the better it will bs for all concerned. ' * �� �� Our citizens are spending yearly enormous sums for commodities made elsewhere thnt could.be profitably pro- educed in this city. Of this money so spent only a very small portion remains here, tue balance goes to build up distant communities. So long as this condition persists we, as a community, are losing money. It is bad business and we should make a change at the first moment possible. It is customary among us to say that existing conditions make it impossible for manufacturers to succeed here. This idea was formed earlier in our history and it has remained, althrough the conditions now are vastly different from those which in a large degree justified the view in question. It is to be remembered, too, that it is to the advantage of many and powerful.. in-, : terests that this idea should- prevail.1 In the nature, of things it follows that our lack, of manufactures provides, openings for many business enter- prizes that would not survive if industries were to be established here. It is doubtful, too, whether the railways have been anxious to see any extensive development of manufacture onj the Coast. So that it is quite possible that we have been led to attach more importance to the impediments in the way of attaining the status of a great industrial centre than they deserve. and as a result have under valued the quality of our advantages. One obvious duty thus presents it- "self and that is to take up the matter -in a thorough way and get at the facts. There is little doubt that the tacts, when ascertained, would attract investors. At least the situation would be understood and could be dealt with intelligently. It might be necessary for [the city to -offer at first inducements that would counterbalance disadvantages now existing, but which in time would disappear. This work should 'be undertaken at once and we heartily I "support the proposal of the Market and Industries' Committee which, as we un- (derstand it. contemplates anions other things such work as we have referred to. The License Bill introduced by the Attorney General will, we believe/ meet with the approval of a majority of our people, it. of course, is not prohibition, and is not offered as such. Some will thintt it better than prohibition but it is not necessary to go into that question now. The point is that the act increases the restrictions imposed upon the trade in liquor and provides additional safeguards fur the public. It is undoubtedly a step in the right direction and the Government is to be commended for it. & * * The commission to be appointed by the Government to fix the location of the Provincial University will shortly be named and will likely begin its work next summer. The city council of Vancouver should appoint a committee to present the advantages of this city to the commission. Other communities are already busily engaged n preparing their cases and Vancouver should not. be behind. ��� ��� a '��� ��� The Legislature has extended.1? for! eight months, the city's power to expropriate the shore, of False Creek. Within the period named, the city should be able to reach an agreement witli the G. N. railway and thus settle this most important matter. At the jsame time this should depend upon the attitude of the latter company. If it shows_ itself ���willing'to" .accept, a fair proposal based upon the assumption that it does possess certain' riparian rights it is perhaps better that the .matter, should he closed. In our opinion, however, the deal should consist hi absolutely only an exchange of values. Nothing should -be allowed in the terms, of settlement that will in- any way narrow the scope ot the city in dealing with such property as it wili .retain: Its rignt to tbdoCas it wishes ^wVtV;ihaFpb^ maining in- its possession"inust be al; solute: For-instance the citjr should not. be shut.-up to any scheme niention- ing a turning basin or waterway: east of Westminster avenue or. to. any other one. or stated number of. 'plan's for dealing with that section .This we think, is sumpremely important. Industrial sites are now and will become still more in demand and the city should be in a position to provide these upon favorable terms. N'o better location for such could be desired than those, that should be available on the property in question and as much as possible of this should be reserved for this purpose. Furthermore" the council "must"'" see to it that the public right of access to to the property from all directions? should be freely conserved, and that no other railways seeking terminals in that locality will not necessarily have to make terms for such with the G. N. Railway. The city must retain sole ownership and control;'- of that portion of tlie section that remains to it. Glebe and Zeigler, wholesale .liquor dealers of Indian Head.

FlujETT, Ltd. 2337 Westminster Ave}" Mount PI<"isant NEW EXPLOSIVE FACTORY HERE Martin I. Stewart, John Pederson and Associates Buy Canadian Rights from Prof. W. S. Pierce, the Inventor. Two successful demonstrations under severe and rigid tests were made last week at Shaughnessy Heights, with a new explosive invented by Prof. W. S. Pierce of Seattle. Messrs. Stewart and Pederson. who have purchased the Canadian rights tp manufacture the new explosive, experienced rather an embarassing position on the day set for the demonstration. Sufficient powder had been shipped from the factory at Everett, but when the party assembled to see; the results claimed for the new explosive no powder was in,sight, nor could any trace of the shipment be found. Prof. Pierce and Mr. Pederson solved the serious problem, however. Securing a dish pan. rolling pin and a few other cooking utensils, the party adjourned to one of the,-little cabins near by, and fell to mixing a batch of the explosive on the spot. After this operation had been performed, everyone present was convinced that there was no danger in mixing this explosive. r/ One pound of the powder, .just finished, was placed .loosely on a large granite boulder weighing about one and a half tons. After ordinary preparations to bulldoze..'.-were completed, the i'use was fired, and all ran to a: place of .safety. The jar of the explosion could be1 felt quite plainly at a distance of :?00 yards. On examination the boulder was found to be split in fragments. Several other tests were made.' all being equally effective and satisfactory. In the evening Prof. Pierce asisfed. by Chemist Pederson. made about 50 pounds of powder, and on the following day gave another demonstration in blowing stamps.. Twelve pounds of the powder was placed under a solid fir stump, about six and a half feet in diameter. The execution was astounding. Tlie stump being blown out by the roots and hurled about 20 feet away. Eight pounds were placed under a similar slump, and it was shattered to splinters. Either of these stumps���and old experienced powder nian said���would have taken 22 pounds of No. 1 dynamite to have split sufficiently to be pulled by a-donkey engine. The chief feature of Prof. Pierc.a's new. explosi veis that iLis not exploded. by percussion, making.it perfectly safe in transportation, nor is it affected by heat or cold. The powder works equal- j ly well at r.O degrees below, as ."10 de- j grees above zero. ,; j The blastic power of the now ex- i plosive is'58.8. against ;>���).(! of N'o. 1") personaijeaceiihe VANCOUVER POWER CO.

Riley, of -Winnipeg, from the direct rate of the Canada Permanent Mortgage Corporation, is causing some comment in financial cireles. Their places have been filled by eastern At tlie annual meeting of the Winnipeg Electric Railway company.' it was reported 'hat oyer iC.nOO.OOO ixis- sengers were carried on Mie street railway last year. The net earnings of the company show a heavy decrease, for which no explanation has been made public. The return of Halley's comet, after an absence of seventy-five years, lias set many men busy. The astronomers, scientists, philosophers, speculators and theologians have all taken a turn ���at tlie comet and associated astronomical phenomena. 1! am atheist in belief and philosophy, and in a more particular way 1 'claim to be a Rible-theist, if such a term be admissible. Hence, as I read this: statement in Genesis, I believe it to be true and absolutely natural, as well as reasonable and scientific withal. "And God said. Let there be lights in the firmament of the reaven. to divide the day from the night. AND LET THEM RE FOR SIGNS. AND FOR SEASON'S, AND FOR DAYS AND YEARS:" .This is simple, plain and emphatic. Men in all ages, even the savages, know that the sun and moon; in relation to the earth, give us days, nights, mouths and years, as well as seasons. In addition they are for signs. As most observers, and thoughtful men and women can readily fill in the cause of years, seasons, months, and days, I need not stop to discuss the matter but pass along to another topic. We have men of the "higher critic" school, who at the same time pretend to take the Bible tor their guide; who tell us they know a thing or two worth retailing as first-class matter. T;h3��y- inform us that the ancients,; Adam. Methusaleh and other very aged mem saw the new.moon, followed by the full moon, and then the hew moon following the full moon, which in regular order and at definite times came to make the face of nature bright. New moon, full;moon; new,moon, full moon,- \\"--~ ' ;������-.':-Vj\\ And' so these regular rounds became the measurements of the length of the antediluvian lives. When they had 1000 full moons this was 1000 years. This is an attempt at originality, but the thought is as old as-the hills. it is an attempt at cleverness, but is too silly for more than a passing consideration- Any thoughtful man can readily see that after a period of thirteen lunar months, tlie seasons would duplicate themselves. After a period of another thirteen lunar months the seasons would triplicate Themselves, and thus in regular order' Miiukly establish the fact that there was a larger period than that of rwenty-eight days." For this larger period they would find a name. And :his name would stand for a year-fact, for a thirteen month-fact, for a :jG-r�� day-fact: The ,olden times patriarchs- had as i good eyes, as good sense, as good; powers of observation, as good' language j adaptability, and as true an insight into nature, especially the starry heav-] ens, iis our speculative Millie-believing- - disbelieving college professors of the higher critic class. These ancients saw tlie light from: morning to night, and called it. day. "Yom." They witnessed the period between sunset; and sunrise, and nailed it night. "I.ylali." They experienced the perir.d- between mil moon and full moon again and-called thnti time-measure month, "Choilesh." These ances-'. tors went throi^h tlie pendulum swing ��� of thirteen lunations or months, and: sought out a name for- that wonderful ; astronomical fact. This was their : year, their "Shanah." So for all the natural divisions of time, they were as j well equipped as are our college, spec; illative theologians, for finding suitable j terms or names. And they went by fact, not by silly speculation." In < his they were natural, not artificial and :. atheistic. Comets come and go. but on their, journey tliey may do a work similar; to the eccentric in an engine, .or as ; the governor on ihe engine. Hut this- is not tlie phase-of thought 1 would: here lay emphasis on. i The marvelous regularity seen in ; the heavens is truly awe-inspiring, as-; t< ending. The moon waxes and wanes ; regularly down through the ages. In its wake the tides come and go with the regularity of clock work. I"arn>- Said to be Seriously Violating its Agreement With toe City During- the time of Mayor Buscomhe's term of office the Vancouver Power Company entered into an agreement with the City of Vancouver in connection with the transmission of power from Lake Buntzen and the pressure permitted to be carried as specified in that agreement we believe isTwENrx.TH0U3.AND Volts. Noalteration or amendment has to our knowledge been made to thfs agreement, yet we are informed that the Company, without permission and without the knowledge (presumably) of the city authorities has practically doubled up the pressure and, we are given to understand on what seems good authority, is now transmitting power from the Lake Buntzan plant through the city streets at Forty Thousand Volts. The Company has apparently found the loss on the lines at the old voltage of Twenty Thousand, excessive owing to the increased demands for power, and by doubling- up the voltage they can carry a much greater quantity of power, but at the expense of safety of ��he citizens using the streets through or over which this dangerous current is carried. Increased pressure means that an already dangerous system is rendered more dangerous, and the fact that the changing of the insulators for ones more suitable for higher voltage which we are informed has been going on for some time should have been enough surely to put the civic authorities on their guard. Seeing that apparently the Company has broken faith with the City an opportunity has arisen which the City should take full advantage of to reconsider the whole situation covered by the agreement and nothing short of placing the dangerous wires underground should suffice to reinstate the Company in the enjoyment of the privileges they would hare been entitled to had they fulfilled the obligations under the agreement. What right has. this Compaliy to carry double the pressure the '.ag}^men't,,calU,^pr.. without getting; the necessary permission? Further ���It seems that the Company is running Two Sets of Three Wires each of these high tension dangerous wires through or over the crowded streets of Vancouver For Supplying North Vancouvbe With Power. We:cannot learn that permission was ever asked by the Company or gran ted. by the City for the carrying these extra and'danger otts wires through the City streets, yet we are informed that they are there, and have been for some tjme. ���3". 'fSfr* Qf course from ah operating standpoint it would be cheaper perhaps for theCompatiy to have these wires run to the substation on Westminster Avenue, rather than to have the proper appliances and attendants at a substation where these wires should branch off on the outskirts of the city, but from the standpoint of Vancouver City, surely our streets are sufficiently obstructed and rendered all too unsightly and dangerous wi^h the wiring necessary for this city's use, without adding to all this by the absolutely unnecessary introduction of the wiring of a neighboring city. If a thorough investigation of the increase of voltage is made, and and if the facts appear to be as stated, may this not have something to do with the fatal accident at the Barnet Tower the other day, although nothing in the coroners investigation shows that the voltage had been recently doubled up. We therefore think that the public are entitled to have the fullest information regarding the matter; "" "" ~~ The following questions would seem to be in order: (1) Is the company, without the city's sanction, and contrary to the agreement with the city, transmitting power at forty thousand volts instead of twenty thousand volts ?��� (2) W:hy is the company permitted'to run the North Vancouver transmission lines (six lines in all) through the streets of Vancouver lo the substation on Westminster Avenue ? (3) Why does not the city electrican see to these important matters, instead of nagging at the owners of electrical signs. Surely these matters are a part, and a most important part of his business. (4) How-vvas it that the question of voltage carried by the transmission wires did not come out in the evidence at the late coroners inquest. (51 Is our city council absolutely at the mercy of the Company that the Company should think it unnecessary to ask permission to make these most important and dangerous changes, or to use our city streets as thoroughfares for the highpower atul dangerous lines of another city? f Continued on page -i I ��� I CANADIAN NAVAL BILL Tlie iliseus.uon of thi.s Mill as reported in our daily papers appears to show thai there are more politicians than statesmen in ' our Ottawa House.

PEMAL PEACE BY PROFESSOR ODLUM ( Coutiuued from page 1 ) ers, fislieis, gardeners, meteorologists, and many others long since have learned to respect, and depend upon the moon and his phases for their success and safety. They may lean upon melifluous, logoniathic, college professors'for theology worthy of the name and sadly fall into darkness; but the moon's seasons, phases and influences come and go in a manner quite reliable, and worthy of trust. The sun shines, revolves on his axis, swings through his orbit, and returns to hjs luitial point of starting, and never makes a mis-step. However, our higher critics plunge wildly Into the chance-cause of all this regularity, this fixity of law, order and motion. They pretend to explain everything on the basis or materialistic evolution, of chance, of undesigning design. In my judgment the worst form of material infidelity, of gross atheism. of mad materialistic insanity, is developed in our colleges aud universi- aies; not in what may be called the purely secular departments, but iu the theological class rooms. The heavenly bodies, .all nature in all her aspects, move along the lines of strict law. And yet we are told that law needs not a law-giver. Force, operating on matter, cannot leap over the traces of absolute and well defined law, and yet the very men who point out these laws are simpletons enough to say with long faces that law has not, needs not, a cause to hold matter in the relentless embrace of law. Every attempt to make fresh discoveries in mechanical appliances, in chemistry, in .astronomy, in . photo graphy, in telephony.'in teiegraphy. in any and all possible avenues of re search, is based on one permanent assumption, on one constant postulate, viz., upon the sure ground that nature is not a mass of chances, but is governed by- law, guiding toward a sure and unalterable goal. Proceeding on this basis, the human mind is encouraged to continue in its pursuit of higher and deeper realms of'nature's secrets than heretofore discovered. No man is fool enough to undertake the prosecution of any research, unless he is convinced that he has the opportunity of dealing with a constant, a con stant both in force and matter, lie iheerfully gets out ia bis quest, because he is assured that no natural phenomenon is manifested to the human senses excepting so far as definite force governed by definite laws of action produces that phenomenon. The scientist and explorer of- nature's secrets feels quite at home when he finds himself alone in the bosom ot nature. Here he revels in the great known through which he enters the hidden mysteries, stored fway with the long rolls of discoverable arcana. It is this fact that leads the devoted student to consecrate his whole life and energies to accomplish something unrevealed to the human family up tc the present time. He starts out on the basis of the constancy, on the fidelity, yea on. the acknowledged design of nature. What gives hope and encouragement to the young algebraist, to the geometrician, to the ardent chemist?

The young student never questions the design ol the bookmakers, the reasoning of the geometers and the object of masters in chemical discovery. In like manner these'young students, in the most natural and logical manner, without a word from any man. come to the conclusion ..that as in the above and other sciences, law rules, everywhere, so that; law or rathei these laws are but the dis-coveied aud discoverable expressions of the final -.nd permanent cause of all law. * This is the normal state of a healthy .-ultured mind. But~in the theological gymnasia of almost all the denominational colleges, and ia the acrobatic camps of the higher critics of religion and theology, there is a growing tendency to sacrifice all that is wisest and soundest in tbe training of tbe young men and women of roday. The preachers, teachers, and exegetical expounders of nature and grace have materialized, scientiftcised, criticized and theorized until they have become two things, two very contemptible things. One is this: They shave robbed the people of their best guides and given nothing in their place. The oiher is a most natural result: They have robbed themselves of all steadiness ot belief, and the real power to help those who look to them for guidance. In the end they drift into infidelity, atheism, spiritual shiftlessness, intellectual unstable equilibrium and pitiable helplessness. The starry heavens, moving and governed by.magnificent and constant law. have lost all their charms for the men, who, in order to be liberal, in irder to make themselves appear broad-minded, have thrown aside the plainly written word of the men who had great spiritual insight given then, by the Cause and Master of all intelligible law. These men drift from the pulpits and theological chairs into other spheres of activity, of less influence, of lees use, and mostly drop out in deep sorrow and failure. If there be one constant element in all the realm of nature, it is the! presence, the active presence, the conscious presence of the Great Cause, the Designer and Revealer of the glories of this wonderful universe.

Hill, sage, financier and master railroad builder, would have employed as the rallying cry for all persons interested in the solution or the- problem of the high cost of living. "The problem is not local, neither is it nattional," said Mr, Hill. "It is international. ' Air Christendom is wrestling with it: Obviously the world has reached an economic crisis. We are not producing food stuffs enough, We must enlarge the fanning area of the earth; we must apply scientific principles to farming: we must adapt ourselves to conditions as best we can while, we are going through tlie slow tedious process of making the soil yield more abundantly." ���������-;\\ ':';��������� "The Maltiiusitin theory of the too rapid increase of population for subsistence on normal productiveness would seem to have some bearing on the present world-wide situation," was \\ suggested to; M r. Hill. $675 Cash and the Bat over 4 YEARS This is the easiest contracts in we know of Do it now Ignorance on Agriculture. "Nonsense." he exclaimed. "Agriculturally speaking,, the earth is riot over- populated anywhere. There is congestion ia the cities. . The problem is to relieve this congestion"and scatter the unproductive population to the farms. 'Then, when "we get them there we must.teach them how to farm better than nine-tenth of our farmers now know. M believe that statistics would show that not over half of the farms in the United States are more than half under cultivation every year. By * ��������� * know what can. he done to bring early relief. I fear there is mighty little that legislation can do. The statutes already are crowded with laws. But they have done.precious little good, if ������ any. Within the last ten years the cost of everything we have had to buy has increased about 60 per cent. Population has not increased in such ratio. So what's the matter? For ohe thing, we.live too high. When some ladies down at Washington th9 other day asked me' to tell them how to' stop the high cost of living, I told thew if iliey would tell me how to stop the cost of high living 1 might be able to answer their question. The one is as grave as the other." Mr. Hill paced the floor ^or a moment in deep _ meditation, suddenly to his interviewer, he inquired: "Does your wife do her own marketing? Does she go herself to the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker and select what she wants after one or the other of these methods in pricing the articles? Or does she send the cook or the butler? Maybe she gives her. orders . by telephone. Most housewives In the cities employ keeping the larder replenished. Both are expensive and wasteful.; But this is the telephone age. the automobile age. I observe President Taft characterized it some time ago. Each is a symbol of the times. Each denotes that we are living high."

The hearty applause accorded each item in the program testified 'to the appreciation of the crowded audience. Every class in the schol contributed its "quota'to the long series of choruses and drills, the success of which promises much for the future of so young a school. The selections given by the school's orchestra, under |ihe 'leadership of Mr. Hicl:s. were a revelation to the people on the Mount Pleasant side of the city, whilst Drill Instructor Bundy, whose work contributed in no small measure, to the success of many drills. must f?el gratified. The individual items were good, perhaps Marjorie Mills' Rule Britannia," and Josie An- 'derson's character recitation, deserve special notice. The members of the school board showed a lively interest in the proceedings and suitable short speeches were given by the chairman. Mr. FlumerfeU. and by Trustees Dougan and Dyke.

An Australian One of Australia's great'problems is what to do with the vast, uninhabited, sub-tropic*!, northern territory which fronts Asia and the populous islauds of the Asian seas. This territory is a vast region of iUSS.OOO.OOG acres of land, much of which is highly fertile and capable of supporting, a big rural population.. To-day it is held by about a thousand whites and two or three thousand Chinese, who are engaged in mining and pastoral pursuits and some thirty of forty thousand aborigines; who live by hunting and fishing. It lies across the Continent from populated Australia, and is by sea closer to the East than to Melbourne. South Australia, to which it is at ���������>resent attached, has ninrie a gallant- effort to colonize it, but after spending ���������:������ few millions in pioneering railways which were not. completed, has had to .-all a halt. The Urgent necessity of peopling a land so fertile and empty, and close to teeming lands of colored labor, is apparent to every Australian, z'nd recently the Federal Government assumed the task of dealing with the matter. A bill providing for the acquisition of the teritory was passed by the House of Representatives, but Ahe^Senate.shelvedJ_he measure. South Australia aimed to reach the territory by a line of railway through Use Continent from north io south. Building from Port Augusta - in the south, the State laid down 478 miles of line at a cost of .C 7,490 a mile, and at an animal loss since of t90.000. From Port Darwin in the north 140 miles of rail"were built, leaving a gap of 1.0(1:! miles to be covered.
