a O •955=! fails fntwh Columbian osrsjospecli. There hudwen no period in the history of ■Westminster when its prospect, of permanent increase vera brighter than they are at the present moment. During the past twelve > months the city hu made IniMsmu shiiln. The wlae of per- maaait improvemeabi last year wat estimahid to be 1260,000, but no one ever knew a time when so many buildings were in process of construction and in contemplation as now. The great event oi the year was the completion and opening of the branch line connecting this city with the Canadian Pacific Railway. That brought us at once into intimate oontaet with the whole business world, and supplied the one thing needed to place us among the most favored commercial cities of the province. Along with the railway came the gu works, which added no insignificant item to the programme of advancement. The lighting of the city with gas has done a j great; deal .more than some wppo*. to improve it in the eve. ol visitors, and stamp upon it the ekaiaoter of permanence. In addition to this, through the enterprise of the 0. P. R. and Postal Union, we obtained a vastly more efficient and far-reaching telegraph service. To these very substantial guns it is proposed this year to add much in the way of erecting substantial building., and in this a great, many citjiwi. will be able to lendassssarial MSattaaoe. The adoption of a fire limits by-law last year ii producing the results its advocates predicted. Instead of paltry wooden buildings going up within the area covered by tbe by-law, we tn going to have large s«d substantial brick structures that will be an ornament to the city. Iti. alto intended to make arrangements thii year for the erection of a substantial city hall, somewhat in keeping with the dignity and standing of the Boyal Oity. It has been a subject of wonder that a oity with a white population of over 3,000, the largest and wealthiest and most influential city fin the mainlmd of British Columbia, should have existed these many yean without a publio hall of it. own. The erection of a HOiOOO city hall will put an end to that wonder, and will mttarially improve th. aspect of the city. Tola year, kit*; tre 'hope to see the new woollen mill in operation, adding an important item to our Irwal industries, and inoreuing the importance of thii oity aa a centnvl market tor th. farming com muraHy by wbica we an tarrennded. When the otanril hu negotiated it. loan of fTSiOOO, there will be avail able a considerable turn fer other improvero^ which will add to the attsmetiTeaess and conveniences of the «i.ty. Among the projects contemplated in connection with thii loan age tke laying out of a publio park, tou artablishment of a public market, and a large amount of itreet work; All these schemes are neceawry to onr requirements. There it a common opinion prevailing, among people who have recently' arrived in thii province that Westminster it, all things considered, one of the' moat desirable location, to be feud-anywhere in the country.

DIRECTORS* ANNUAL REPORT. Gentlkmi:\-In presenting our report for fiscal yenr ending 31st March, 1887, we bog to state that it will bo an utter impossibility to run tbo hospital free of debt on tbo grant just voted by tbe gov* ornment for tho ensuing financial year. Tbe surgeon has been attentive In his duties and reports a large increase in the number of patients admitted during the year, shewing also thnt we have received patients from all parts of tbe province, There are a number of incurables in this hospital, somo of whom were brought from Victoria hospital years ago. The sum of $1,000 a yoar baa been voted for a convalescent home in Victoria, the last few years. Tbo Board think, therefore, that some of these incurables should be shipped back to Victoria. A great numbci- of improvements have been made during tbe year, walls end floors repaired, n wash-house built, the two cesspools thoroughly cleaned; the building being old,, requires constant re* pairs, which entails considerable expend* inure. . The hospital bas been filled to its utmost capacity during the whole year. Tbo Board desire to thank subscribers for generous substriptions, lists of whioh are annexed, and without which it would hnve been found impossible to have kept the institution free of debt; also the congregations of Holy Trinity Church, St. Andrew's (Presbyterian), Methodist tnd Baptist Churches for hospital Sunday collections, and the following ladles and gentlemen for old clothes, linen, books, papers etc..—Mesdamcs 0.

Wintemute met with a serious accident this morning. It is supposed that the child, who is a Very fearless little girl, was chasing some of the horses thst are allowed to ran tt Urg. on our streets, and that ono of the beut. kicked her. She was found unconscious, and carried into the house and medical aid sent for. The dootor, on arriving, examined tho little one. The. wound consists of.« deep gash in the forehead. Some of the bones .round the eyes are fractured, but it is not thought that the injuries .re very serious. At last accounts the little girl had recovered consciousness and was doing well. The OldLookcp.—In company with th. msyor .nd s few other citizens the provincisl seoretary today went through the old gaol gruunds whioh have long been an eyesoro tn the region when thuy an situated. It was agreed to hsve the buildings and the old walls pulled down snd the lot cleared off .not graded, and the provincial secretary gave instructions to that effect. Person, whose residences or offices sre situsted in this vicinity will be delighted to lesrn this. It is hoped thtt nest yeer . bill may bo psjwd through th. legislature conveying this site.to the oity io contidention of the corporation having given up possession of Ih. square upon which the n.w gaol wu built. * *-+-+ The Pari.—This morning the mayor and s.v.r.1 other prominent citizens wsited on the provinoisl secretary with s view to obtaining permission to occupy a portion of the park on jubiloe day, and intake certain improvements until such time as by proper legislation the land could be handed over to the corporation. The provincial secretary said he we* in favor of the park going to the oity for the purpose of making it » publio park, and would lay the nutter before the executive 0000011. The deputation came away from the interview with the impression that it would be safe enough to noon with park improvements snd trust to the willingness of the government to secure the necessary legislation to give possession.

Disappointed Norwegians.—It wss stated in this paper not long ago that a number of families (about 20) from Norway had arrived and gone to Vsl- dez Island with a view to establishing a Norwegian colony there. It was the intention of these'people to engage in fishing, and in connnection with this they proposed to carry on farming operations on a small scale. A few days ago the party returned, and they sre now in this cityawaiting developments. They say that thoy came out to the country on tho strength of a report from two Norwegians who had , neon sent out fur the expross purpose of examining the situation and resources of the province. That report was favorable, the commissioners having selected a site for tho new settlement on Valdez Island, aud aeoured from the government a free grant of 80 acres for each family. Thoy declare thnt the report of the commissioners, how* over, was not a true statement of facts, and thnt the circumstances of the proposed location are not at all agreeable to them. Complaint having been made to tho provincial secretary, who happened to be in the city this morning, he made arrangements at once to send two or threo representative men of the party up the coast to make such explorations as may seem judicious so that they shall be able to find another location more suitable to their circumstances. Mr. Donald McGregor, who is intimately acquainted with tho coast und inlots and logging camps, has charge of the party ns guide. He expects to start in a few days, and will probably be absent two or three weeks. These twenty families are the vanguard of about 100 Norwegian families retdy to come to British Columbia as sood as sufficient assurance has been received that thoy can better thoir circumstances hero. Tho prompt action of the governnieut in sending out an exploring expedition with the object of securing this colony is most commendable.

Abyssinia touches the wharf nt Vancouver, tho unloading of her cargo will bogin. It will be sent onward to New York on express trains and there transferred to one of tho fast lines of ocean steamers. It is the desire of the company to make the fastest possiblo timebetwoen Hongkong and Liverpool. At Vancouver she will load 3000 tons of Wellington coal, which will bo transferred across from Departure Bay. She will leuve on'the 20th inst. on hor return voyage. Tho captain says tho result of the first voyage is eagerly watched all over tho world, as to a certain extent it will decide tho future channels of commerce. It was a mistake in telegraphing, that her passenger list of Chincso was so large, there being only eight instead of eighty. These will be sent to 'Frisco by the first outgoing steamer. - i —. m —. Public School Report. At a publio meeting in the Hysek Hall this morning (Mr. J. S. Olute, chairman of the sohool board, presiding), the city sohool trustees presented their annual report, which was read by the secretary, Mr. T. J. Trapp, as follows: The board of trustee, for the New Westminster publio aud high schools begs most respectfully to report: That the different branches of the publio nnd high schools are in a flourishing condition; that the number of scholars that hns | bocn in attendance during the year has beon 423, and the average attentlnnco 211; that the children havo shown a marked improvement in their studies, and that 13 pupils hsve passed for the high school. There has beon a great increase in the number of pupil, attending tbe schools, especially in tho lower divisions, and the government have made arrangoinont. to furnish another room, whioh will bo ■ available after midsummer, snd to provide for another toa'cher. Tho government h.ve met the board in this particular in a very liberal nianuor and have promised toprovido more suitable accommodation the ooming year. Tbe appropriation for incidental expenses has been expended in ths usual way. The school ground, nnd buildings are iu good repair, and with present arrangements carried out the board will havo much cause to' congratulate tho publio genornlly upon tlio position of educational affairs in this oity, nnd they take this opportunity of expressing thoir high appreciation of the efforts of the teachers to ttdvnnce the pupils and make tho schools under their charge (what they ure to-day) second to hone 'in 'the province. In conclusion, the board would most earnestly eall tbe attention of the parents of pupils iu attendance st the publio schools to tho advisability of being protent at all examinations as their presence on such occasions gives encouragement to both . teachers and pupils and evinces un interest in the school and the cause of free education.

Mr. J. S. Clute, collector of customs at this port, received a dispatch stating that the Abyssinia will reach Vancouver at 9 o'clock to-night. She will not touch at Victoria.

The Royal Oity of Westminster will celebrate the Jubilee of Her Majesty tomorrow Snd the day following. The committee have spared no pains to make the celebration the means of attracting visitors from aUpartsof the province to our .city. The C. P.

To-day many of the citizens are bSBT decorating their places of businesi'Witlrevergreens. The programme for to-morrow is as follows: In the morning the militia will parade at the Drill Shed and inarch to the battery and fire a royal salute. Afterwards the new park will be opened and christened. Horse racing will follow, and at 2 p. m. the boat racing .will occur. In the evening a grand torchlight procession will take place on the Fraser, in which many Indians will take part. The programme for Wednesday is equally as attractive. ,—. «. .
