Who Found the Letter? Last Friday a five-year-old boy was sent to the Dundarave post office for mail by his grand­ mother. An expected letter was given him, and he started back to his home at Jefferson and 23rd, carrying the letter and en­ joying an ice cream cone. Evi­ dently the cone took up all his attention and the letter--which it was expected would contain money--was dropped. Being sent back to find the letter the youngster returned with half of the envelope and in a further search the other half was found. Evidently the letter had been picked up by some person, who had opened it, taken out the money and the letter and dis­ carded the envelope. The owner is very anxious to recover the property and would be grateful to have it returned. If it is returned to this paper we shall be glad to forward it to the owner.

Savory and Duval are advertising in this issue a new offering in West Vancouver real estate. This is in the nature of a subdivision, the lots in which are 54 feet by 141 feet. The streets are paved. Light and water are connected. The land is surrounded by a splendid class of modern homes and is only 10 minutes walk from the ferry. West Vancouver real estate is rapidly increasing in value. The most pessimistic amongst us cannot but admit that the dis­ trict is being filled with perma­ nent residents. This is now generally considered the premier residential district of B. C., and to be able to purchase fine large homesites at a full price of around $300 on terms of $50 cash and $20 per month is giv­ ing everybody an opportunity of starting their own home. Messrs. Savory and Duval invite inspec­ tion of this property saying that whether you intend to purchase at the present time or not they will be glad to show you the splendid location of the property they are offering. Usually it is always darkest before something dawns on you. V. C.
