VOLUME III H. H. Stevens, Editor. VANCOUVER, British, Columbia, MAY 26, 1911.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Mpntreal, May J7th ���������The Board of Control, or Galveston plan of commission g^yernment for cities as it is called in the United States'-yhere it originated, is a failure in so' far as Montreal is concerned, according to a band of ex-aldermen, would-be contractors, ward heelers and others who have formed themselves1 into an organization whose aim is to recapture the city hall for the old form of aldermanic patronage1 arid plunder carried on so successfully until last year under the old system of civic government by [ aldermanic committees. y\"' The commissioners have held'the reins of office for slightly over a year now. Anyone who Ltakes the trouble to compare, in ever so casual a Tmanner,.the results which have been achieved in ithat short year in ,the way of civic< improvement. with the results which were promised but which [were never forthcoming during the many years of aldermanic sway, will agree that the new system, \\instead of being a failure as1 claimed, has been a great success. There have been shortcomings, of [course, but all around it may be safely said that never before has the city's money and energy. |been put to better use than during the last twelve [months. When the oBard of Control was elected. lthe number of aldermen was cut down, from two 1 to one for each ward. This left a few gentlemen [jat home who had had a taste of political life, and lankered for more. Up to the present they have jeen kept quiet, but now, it appears, they are {getting together and intend to make a concerted effort to obtain control of the municipal purse strings once more. \"Disbelieve it, if you wish;' 'remarked an, informant, \"but it is a fact. The proposition is to isaue a petition which the people will be asked to Sign praying for a referendum on the question. -The argument is that tbe oBard of Control is no$, Hving satisfactory results, and they contend that referendum wauid put tlie board out of exist- hoce., L \" -_; V \"Behind thia movement are a number of the members'of the old aldermanic regime \"and certain jontractors who complain that the controllers are lot firing them a fair -*0*- \"This petition is actually in preparation. |Tnless the plans of the promoters miscarry, how- Wer, the petition will be launched on the public i the near future with a beating of drums and ie tonnd of trumpets.

CHINA A REPUBLIC. According to despatches from China it is the srpose of the revolutionists to establish .a repub- f in that ancient empire. It is hard for the jscidental mind to conceive of an Oriental repub- s, yet such is the usual course���������a despotic mon- %hj is usually supplanted by a republic.

FIRE DEPARTMENT TO BE INVESTIGATED Mayor and Aid. Enright Defend Chief and Fire Department.���������Council Overrule Mayor's Arbitrary Action. The following resolution, moved by Aid. ' Stevens, was passed at last Monday's council meeting: \"That the fire and police committee be appointed under the powers granted in section 197 of the city charter to thoroughly investigate the administration of the fire department, with-full power to .summon witnesses and examine under oath such witnesses on all matters pertaining to the department, its management, system of drill and promotion; also as to,the efficiency .of the apparatus, its cost in comparison with other makes and all such other matters as may, in the opinion of the committee, be necessary to secure a full and impartial investigation.\" This action was taken as a result of the statements made in these columns during-the past few weeks. The question first arose in the Council of May 1st, 1911, when Aid. Stevens objected to accepting a tender of Seagraves & Co. for an aerial truck for $17,000, which was $6,000 higher than the Ctancliff tender; he also objected to purchasing a $4,300 touring car for the chief, in view of the fact that the chief had received a new car only-last June, and that it was used for private purpose in taking long trips around the country in place of being used, exclusively for civic purposes. At the meeting when these matters were . brought up, the Mayor refused to allow further ���������discussion, and it was subsequent to that time that Aid. Stevens, as editor of the Western Call, discussed the question in these columnar Last Thursday Aid. Enright attacked the editor of this journal for publishing these articles, char- ' acterizing them as ^knocking\" the city rind willing the editor a \"cur,\" a \"yellow dog\" and ������ few other choice appellations peculiar to the vo*- cabulary of the chairman of tha fire and police committee. On Monday last, when Aid. Stevens moved a . resolution for a special committee to investigate the fire department; the Mayor left the chair and made a vigorous attack upon the Western Call, its editor, and we believe he intended to include the-whole staff, machinery,' etc. He1 said that the articles had been written and \"cast forth as a fly to catch some unsuspecting person and that Aid. Ramsay had 'rose and fell' upon it.\" He did not toy whether, when Aid. Ramsay \"rose and fell,\" if anyone got hurt, but we presume he intended to infer that the anxiety which he and Aid. Enright were being occasioned was the result and one which he deplored. The world came out Tuesday with the following headlines: < \"Stevens' Scalp Being Sought by the Council\" ���������that is a \"World\" fact���������which someone has said is a lie and a half. When the Mayor called Aid. Stevens to order the Council, on motion of Aid. Kirkpatrick and Aid. Crowe, promptly overruled the order -and asked Aid. Stevens to proceed. The public can judge by this action if the Council are \"after Stevens' scalp.\" The only persons affected with \"scalpittes\" are Aid. Enright and the Mayor, who are very anxious tp block anything approaching an investigation on fair and impartial basis. The World further states in that report: \"Representative of Ward V must substantiate or retract charges made.\" This is contrary to fact. ' This was the recommendation of the fire and police committee report, but wm struck out at the Council meeting and* Aid. Stevens' motion for an investigation under oath was carried. When the question was up for discussion on Monday it was,dearly evident that every possible ' .effort wonld be made by the Mayor to block the Jfo&atigation. 7 He;'refused to permit any remarks /Which wonld reflect on, the: department, hut allowed the wildest possible refha^ks on the other' side. Why the Mayor is so anxious,to avoid an investigation is beyond the comprehension of the average citizen. There has been ample evidence placed before the Council to warrant the most exhaustive enquiry, and the whole Council are anxious., to have the matter probed, but the Mayor opposes. Jt, is, of course, as well-known fact that bis worship is exceptionally favorable to the.chief and is presumably allowing his personal feelings WAfONi WHY *X BCVliTOATlOJ! W\"������B������������W W ^������������������Jw ~^rr*\\9 ���������T^^'pPW* 1. Because it is not }n the interest of tbe city that its fire chief should have expensive touring cars for p^mtewte. TbAt said car has been extensively Ssed for trips to,points outside tbe city, such as foundry Bay, New Westminster lacrosse matches, etc. , 2. That the city paid $17,000 to. Seagraves & Co. for an LESS SALOONS���������LESS POLICE. \"The marked decrease in crime when the number of saloons is cut down is shown in the city of Levis, Que. In a recent conversation with Mr. P. G. Roy, secretary of the Board of Trade, and an ardent temperance advocate, he stated that since the, number of saloons had been cut from 25 to6 the decrease in arrests had dropped from about 20 to 25 per month to from 2 to 5. So marked is the improvement that the people are quite satisfied with the change and would not return to old conditions. No less than five counties surrounding Levis have done away with all licenses.\"��������� Canadian Municipal Journal. SUCCESS OF POLICE DOGS. According to the report of the Chief Constable of Nottingham, just issued, the police dogs which ftere recently introduced have been a great success. \"The dog,\" the report states, \"is a distinct acquisition to the force, particularly in connection with the night patrolling of outside districts. One dog has already proved himself most useful in finding persons secreted in out-of-way places, and has followed and stopped others at some distance away whom the* police were desirous of overtaking, but would have failed to get into touch with had they been without the dog's assistance?' THE TOEEI11 AKD TRBXIt iioTWmOW. (Lumberman) ��������� > In a speech in the far West hot long ago Colonel Roosevelt is reported-to have said this: \"One of your great assets is your forests. If you pes-' mit the fdr&ts to be destroyed you will be acting just as foolishly as a farmer who would let his barn burn down without trying to save it. . And what would you think of a farmer whose barn, was on fire and who did not want to spend any money to put it outf That would not be merely folly���������it would be niggardly folly.\" Naturally, to guard forests against the ravagfta of fires there must be protection, and, it is equally obvious, protection of the necessary kind costf money. Not to provide such protection is not alone \"niggardly folly\";-it ia contributory negligence of the grossest sort���������it is in a way defenseless < destruction of. anets. Further on Colonel >- Roosevelt \"also admonished hi* hearers to sale their forests \"beeause,\" as he added, \"you. will need them in your business, became your childran wiH need them ia theirs.? - This,, ot course, relates solely to proteettoo ' against fires; it is not an injunction to suspend . -cutting forests to any extent needful-to meet tbe - legitimate requirements of the country. A wide diversity of means whereby the forests might be conserved has bts%- suggested in the promiscuous discussion of thisjsubjeet'in recent yean, none equal in sanity and directness of practical purpose to that of protection against fire. But for thin arch enemy Tbf the trees in the past there probably today would be small, if any, occasion for fear, warranted or' unwarranted, of any impending \"wood famine.\" Regarding the latter; the exact basis of existing conditions while more or less problematical affords, if not certainty, a fairly conclusive presumption of serious impend' ing exhaustion and the need incidentally of any practicable means of conservation. Individual holders of forests, on account of their constantly increasing value, are under no necessity of ont* side pressure, of sentiment or of compulsion, ade-' quately to protect and conserve them in any practicable manner. FOOLS AUD TREZB FOLLY. . We received a letter this week from a fool or a madman, we know not which. The letter states, \"Misfortune and bad luck will follow whoever has possession of this letter and does not give it publicity.\" It then proceeds with a list of curses which will fall on those Who fail to do certain things. It relates the awful ill-luck which has followed others who refused to publish it; in fact, the whole letter is evidently the excrescence of some demented mind. As far as we are concerned we will simply commit it to the flame, and thus break \"the link ia the chain,\" but unfortunately these letters are evidently being sent broadcast throughout the land and many timid souls will be greatly perturbed by them. To such we would say, pay no attention to them, be sure of one thing, which is, that the person who concocted the letter is nothing worse than a harmless fool or idiot, and as such his communication should be treated. It would-be a good thing for both the public and the instigator of the letter if ita writer could be apprehended and confined to either the asylum or the penitentiary, but the letter is unsigned and incapable of detection. We are sorry that owing to lack of space two articles by J.2W. Whitely and D. Spencer are crowded out They will appear in nextiaaue. THE WESTERN CALL ��������� LAKE-HEAD ELEVATORS. Plans for tbe construction of gigantic grain elevators at West Fort William, Ontario, on Lake Superior, have been published by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway'Company. The scheme includes three big piers for six elevators, each of ten million bushels capacity. Two thousand four hundred cars a day will be handled. When navigation opens more grain will be stored at the head of the Great Lakes for shipment'than ever before. On March 24th the G. T. P. gave out contracts for 117,000,000 worth of work in Western Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railway are sending out on their own steamers about 1,500 emigrants each week, and a report received from Montreal headquarters stateB that it begins to look as though the emigration figures for this year will almost double those of ilast year. Training Future Citizens. Is the Canadian child \"forward\"? Members of the commission of Eng- . lish educational experts who are visiting Canada in the interests of education, answer the question with an emphatic negative. \"That is to say,\" said one of the commissioners, \"the children are not 'forward* in the sense of the word, which is generally interpreted as rude- .ness. On the other hand, they are bright, and show an absolute absence of self-consciousness which is really delightful. Jt indicates an- individuality and an alertness which will make them good, bright, self-reliant citizens ot the future. It also speaks well for the system of-instruction given in, the schools, and is a testimonial of the careful work of the teacher,' whose salary is not commensurate with the efforts that both he and she must have made in order to obtain such results.. . The commission, which is composed of leading British educationalists, is making a tour of the Dominion with a view to reporting on the school system here. Vaccination for All. General compulsory vaccination has been ordered by the Provincial Board of Health of the Province of Quebec This will mean not only vaccinatio! for those who have never been vai ciliated, but re-vaccination for thos; who have not been vaccinated for th last seven years. This stringent step has been adopt ed in view of the discovery that case: had been reported in more than twenty counties. Moreover, the attention of the board has been called to the fact that as lumbermen returned from . the bush, inspectors found many cases of smallpox. Dr. E. Pelletier, secretary of the Provincial Board of Health, declares that it is time to stamp out the contagion before it has become too general. \"We are surrounded by smallpox,\" said he. Ontario is infested and the neighboring states are also on the verge of an epidemic. We have discovered lately that hundreds of cases have been shielded, even by physicians, sometimes through ignorance, and. sometimes quite deliL erately. This is the explanation o' the;. numerous outbreaks reported from over twenty counties of the province. A Long Day's Work; Eighteen hours of work out of twenty-four should be the limit for any man, in any class of work, not only on account of muscular' exertion and failing strength, but also because bf failing brain power, the man losing his capacity to appreciate his surroundings and to direct his operations.} Such is the substance of the opinion given by Dr. Francois de Martigny chief surgeon of the Hotel Dieu, wlr in the case of Dame L. Laverdur- against the Canadian Northern claim ing $8,000 for^the death of her hu. band. Brouillette was killed in a fell about ten in the morning after having been at work since seven o'clock of die. previous morning, having suspend- 3d work only for meal hours/and having worked through day and night. The contention of the plaintiff was hat the company .had'no right to allow men to work during such long nours. Dr. de Martiany was called by the laintiifs counsel to state what was .he limit of a man's endurance, and laced the limit of eighteen hours of ontinual muscle or brain work, reasonable time being allowed for meals. HOOKWORM IN CANADA. Health Ofticer Whitlaw says that there is danger' of the negro immigrants from the southern states bringing the hookworm into Canada. This disease was brought into the southern states by the negroes from Africa and some time ago John D. Rockefeller gave $1,000,000 to combat it; It grows to alarming proportions in humid climates, and while Dr. Whitlaw - says the cold northern country will prevent its spreading to any serious degree, che danger nevertheless exists with the coming of the negro. Hon. Frank ./liver, Aiiuibler of the Interior, will iiave his attention called to the matter. EXPLOSIVE SOCKS. That various citizenB throughout the country may be the unsuspecting wearers of gun cotton neckties and explosive socks liable to blow up at any moment, is the startling possibility just brought to light here. Nor is the feminine .sex immune from the danger since petticoats may likewise*ibe articles o< destruction. This unsuspected roTr1it'?n of aital1\"* 'las bfpn cU������- covered through a local protest re* cently filed against the manufacture of artificial silk from cellulose, in which it appears that thfere ls a. possibility that almost any article of wearing apparel made to imitate real silk may actually be explosive. There are several processes it appears according u������ ,ue protest by which, artificial silk is roduced from cellulose. One pio- cess employs nitro cellulose which is really nothing more than soluble gun _otton. From it the threads to be ether or alcohol. After the thread has used in manufacturing are drawn in been drawn and is ready for wearing it is supposed to be denitrated. If it is, it is entirely safe, if it is riot, it may be, exceedingly dangerous, for it then remains nothing less than gun cotton' spun into a fabric. So in the future it may be worth while' to, refrain from stamping the \"near silk\" clad fott, or yanking viciously at the cravat, of the same'material, even though no casualties from explosive, garments have yet been reported. LIGHT AS A BARRIER TO EELS. Some time ago the Danish government began, under the direction of its biological station at Copenhagen, an interesting effort to aid the fishermen of the Baltic by preventing the migration of. eels from that see into the ocean. The means employed is a barrier of light, formed by placing fifty electric lamps along a submerged cable between the island of Fano and the coast of Funen. The effectiveness of such a barrier depends upon the fact tbat the.eels migrate only during the.dark hours. Accordingly, as soon as darkness begins, in the season of migration, the lamps are illuminated, and thus a wall of light is interposed from which the eels recoil. A similar principle is said to have been employed from time immemorial by fishermen, on certain parts of the coast of Italy. Toronto University has 4,100 students in attendance. The Agent-General for New South Wales despatched over 300 emigrants on the steamship Norseman, which left London last week. The majority of passengers \"were women and chil- i dren who have been nominated for reduced fares. - ^..^.���������;..;^j..j^j..X^;..j..;������.;^j^..r.^M.;..j..;,.^.j..;,.;..;. aaa^..^******************** % ALL WORK CALLED FOR AND DELIVERED. % I MISS IDA FLINT I, * T I {.

TALLE8T OF TREES. In New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania grows a species of gum tree, Eucalyptus amygdalina, which probably represents the tallest of all trees of the globe. The loftiest specimen of this tree yet measured towers to the height of four hundred and seventy-one feet. A prostrate tree, measured in Victoria was four hundred and twenty feet long, and the distance from the roots to the lowest branch was two hundred and ninety-five feet At that point the trunk was four feet in diameter, and three hundred and sixty feet from the butt the diameter, was still three feet. The wood of this tree Is hard and of good quality, it grows quickly, and yields a great quantity of volatile oil from its leaves, which are very abundant. , A8WE 8EE IT.

He suggested that shade trees be planted along the road in a uniform manner and if posible to be of the same class. We are too apt in this country to cut. everything down, and if trees are not planted to take the place of those destroyed in years to come we will deplore the fact. The speaker strongly advised the planting of one year old fruit trees and the training of thejn iip'in a proper manner. If he (the speaker) could, he would plant the seed and start his orchard that*way, but as that is almost impossible, he would never plant trees over a year old and could get fruit as early from them as from older ones. He would never, move a tree after planting, as he believed that the natural roots were better than forcing the tree to grow new ones, Mr. J. T. Brown, of Montreal, buyer for one of the largest poultry houses in the east, gave a long and interesting address on commercial poultry raising and the proper method of preparing then? for the market. The consumer will pay the price if the goods are first-class and put up properly. He advised the co-operation of all those engaged in the poultry buBineBS so as to get a uniform, manner of packing and marketing. Where this is done the .price given by the dealers is considerably higher, as the dealers regulate the, price according to the goods\" they receive. The good birds are taken-with the bad ones and the price given is the average for the whole. In this case the good ones do not get what they should and the poor ones too much., \"They have taken up co-operation work In the east and the price has Improved because the farmers. v are sending in better birds.

Because the municipal hall has now become crowded, Mr. G. H.

Its cost is not estimated, to exceed $150. Work will shortly' be commenced on the erection' of ��������� the new hall. On Monday evening the Mountain View baseball t������nm will meet a team from South Hill on the Hall grounds. The game will be particularly interest- preacher, ing In view of the early formation of a baseball league in South Vancouver.' So rapidly is the population increasing in South Vancouver that the large school at South Hill is no longer able to take in all its scholars at once, and some ot the junior classes have to be put oii half session pending the erection of more accommodation. We were remarking about the building activity last week, but as a matter of fact they can't build houses fast enough for the new inhabitants. When we remember the danger of bush fires in South Vancouver last year that would have been very serious on several occasions if it bad not been for the untiring energy of Mr. Bramwell, of Second street, aided by many o������ the inhabitants, we are glad to hear that tenders have been called for a site for a fire hall, and we hope no delay will be allowed in this matter, as with the increased population it is a grave necessity to have proper aid near in case of emergency. We hear tenders are called for a bite for a rock crushing plant, so we hope Bome good substantial roads will be made in the near future.

Suddenly, though, the knife struck a skewer, made a sliding upward motion, and came out on top. Father attempted to cover his real feelings with insipid jests about the indigestibility of roasted hard wood, the inadvisability of a butcher running a w Dod yard, and the like. There, was an embarrassing silence.

The New York Board of Health has recently thrown open to public inspection the records of bacteriological examinations of milk on file in its labor atories. This action is greatly to the interest of the public health, as it enables users of milk to judge of what they are buying and stimulates dealers : to furnish as pure an article as possible, declares Dr. Charles E. North in The Evening Post (New York, April 14th). Dr. North, who is engaged in public health: work, begins by reminding his readers that the tiny plants called -bacteria find in milk unusually favorable conditions for rapid multiplication. Some of these plants are poisonous, such as those causing -yphoid fever, diphtheria, tuberculosis, scarlet fever, and infants' diarrheas, ind the fact that these may occur ir. insanitary milk is the real reason foi he agitation going on throughout the country in favor of pure milk supplies. He continues:' /'Bacteria of most kinds of milk can *eadily be counted by mixing a few Irops of milk with a warm beef-juice felly which then cools and hardens olding each germ fast in its place, n a few days the location of eacr rem can be seen with the naked eye or the reason that each surrounds limself with many\"������������������ thousands' of de .cendahts, forming' a 'colony' Avhich ippears as a white 'dot the size of/a ;>i'nhead. TlieBe dots can be'counted, nd this kind of counting is the bsEsis of the statements often seen that milk :ontaifis so many hundreds or so\" many housands or bacteria. About twenty lrops of milk, or about one-third of a ;easpoonful equaling a unit in' the aetric system called one cubic'caiti- ieter; is the quantity of milk regular y used by laboratories for'the enumeration-of bacteria.' Oiir city Department^ of Health has for a long time =Teeh\"takihg-samp.les-of-milk^from^aii f the large milk dealers for the'pur; ose of making\" these examinations, ut Until recently the results have een kept privately for ��������� the \"depart- ient'8 own informatibn;'and persons mtside of\" the departtneiit have not ad access to them.-' I \"The important and startling action .vhich but Health Department has now reh is to throw the results''of these ���������aborafory examinations open to the ��������� ublic. Any milk consumer in the ity Who\" is sufficiently interested ir the purity of the milk delivered at his ii. iu inquire may find out just what the character of his milk supply is by inspecting the reports of the aboratory examinations on file at t!;<; eaith Department office. There he /ill see the list of dealers selling milk i the city, and opposite each name \\e numbers of bacteria found in his lilk. These numbers give each milk rating, so thai it is possible to ot- erve which milk is the purest, i.e ause the bacteria, are fewest, and ^hich. the most impure, because the acteria are most numerous. \"Because bacteria and dirt travel to- ether, and because bacteria grow apidly in milk not properly iced, the roups of medical men who supervise ie production of the 'certified' milks ave established standards for the umbers of bacteria, believing the umbers to'be an index of the care aken in matters of cleanliness and efrigeration. . . . It is greatly to ae interests of \"public-health that the eople should learn to^ judge of the haracter of milk by its laboratory nalysis. The milk consumer need 6 longer be in ignorance as to which lilk is pure and which impure. The umulation is directly applied to the lilk dealers hy the rating which they 2ceive in the list to put into opera- - l;:%VeRN0N' ! .THEjEiEAOING-STOIte FOK ..,',.

N. DeVaz 220 Broadway, W There was a large attendance at the Orange Hall on Sunday afternoon to hear Rev. John' Simpson deliver his address on the subject of \"Romanism and the Nations.\" Prof. B. Odium, M.A., acted'as chairman and in introducing the speaker took occasion to refer-to the teachings or the Orange Asosciation, pointing out that the order taught. the principles of religious and civil liberty, and aimed to have its members better citizens of the community in which they lived and' the country to which they belonged. Mr. .Simpson in opening his address took occasion to refer to the letter of Mr.\" J. W. Whiteley in Friday's Province, saying it was a complete answer to the attempted explanation of the '.'Ne Temere\" decree by Father McCuIlough. He also referred to the letter\" appearing in Sunday's Advertiser' and signed by Father Dowd. The. letter was its own condemnation. There was no argument in It: It was simply a glorification of the Roman (Catholic Church and a wholesale condemnation of Protestant- | ism. ' No sensible man would pay any j attention to it. In discussing the 'subject oi the afternoon, Mr..Simpson tmade the stateinent that wherever ; Protestantisn} has, been a vital, force ; in the life dt a nation, that nation has aidvanced intellectually,, commercially, riiorally and ^spiritually.

At Mr. McCarthy, was born and brought up a Roman Catholic, ht probably knew what ht was talking about The speaker also-referred to Spain, Italy, Portugal aad France. Italy had freed herself from tht temporal power of, tht Pope, and llnce thftt time her progress has been remarktble. France, once ��������� Roman Catholic country, haa now 30,000 atheists. Rome had been unable to stem the tide of rationalism. Portugal bad broken loose from clerical control, and the people bad made an entire separation of church and state. 8paln bad once held the proud position of being one ot the foremost countries of the world, but where was the today? Roman Catholicism, through forcing the nation Into religious wars, and by the intolerant attitude which she assumed towards progressive legislation, had left 8paln with only a shred of her former greatness. Castelar. the great Spanish tUtesman of his time, said: \"There |s,npt a' single progressive principle that 'has not been cursed by the Papacy.\" But there were even signs In 8paln that the people were going to cast off the Incubus of clericalism, and do as the other Roman Catholic countries had done���������have an entire separation of church and state.
