STEPHEN'S CHOIR PICNIC The St. Stephen's choir picnic to the Church of England boys'ampat Long Bay, Gambier Island, divas the most successful ever given by the choir.

Arrived at the camp, everyone disembarked, and an extensive programme of land and water sports was gone through, Following supper, baseball was played until 7:30 p.m., when the party re-embarked for the return journey, which was made in perfect weather, all on board singing comm u ni ty songs throughout the trip. REAIARKABLE GROWTH OF FRUITS IN AVEST VAN. Much has been written during the past few weeks about the early development of fruits and flowers in different parts of the province. AVest Vancouver, how- ever, would seem to lead all other districts in this respect. Percy Downey, 22nd and Esquimalt, has a young peach tree in his garden on which the peaches are seen to be almost at maturity. Mr. Downey has also been enjoy- ing for the past two weeks lus- cious raspberries from his own garden. A. D. Chisholm, 16th and Fulton, has also had splen- did success with his raspberries, some of the berries he picked this week being almost an inch long. These are exhibits which should be placed at the Horti- cultural show in Dundarave Hall tomorrow. Don't forget to go to the show and see what AVest Vancouver can do. The municipal solicitor was in- structed to prepare such docu- ments as are required to be ex- ecuted by the municipality re street lighting authorized by by- laws No.'s 389 and 390 with a view to the earliest request pos- sible being made to the Vancou- ver Power Co. to immediately erect and supply street lamps within the specified area.

The exteri- ors of three of the grocery stores now present an entirely differ- ent appearance to that of a few days ago. Mr. Seed's store is covered with a very arresting bright red color, whilst the color scheme of Mr. Greenwood's is black and cream. Ambleside is much brightened by this work. Mr. Smith, the proprietor of the red and white grocery at Dun- darave, has used these two col- ors, and they form an effective finish to the extensive altera- tions and improvements he has recently made to his building. J. W. Torrance was given per- mission by the council to remove from D.

An interesting illustrated lec- ture was given in the First Unit- ed Church hall last Friday even- ing. Pictures were shown of Palestine, taken by the Rev. Robt. McFarlane during the war period. Owing to the indisposi- tion of Mr. McFarlane, the lec- ture was given by Mr. McIntosh, the well-known city school teacher. Mr. Porter, who had made the slides, 'operated the lantern, and Mr. James Duncan presided. The Sunday School baseball teams broke even in their games last week. The Junior team lost their game to Mountain View United and the Juvenile team won rather easily from Grand- view United.

The inscription on this monument states that it was erected in memory of eight per- sons who lost their lives on the S.S. Chehalis which was sunk by the Princess Victoria on July 21, 1906, at 2 p. m. opposite this spot. There is one monument, or rather series of monuments, in Stanley Park which, while not coming under the strict defini- tion of the word "monument," is nevertheless a memorial to a fast departing race. This is the Indian totem poles in Stanley Park. There are four of these totem poles which form the first unit of an Indian village which is proposed to construct in the park, an illustration of which appeared in our last week's issue. Just beside Prospect Point is a pyramid-like structure made of rough stones. This was erected by the Historical Sites and Mon- uments Board of Canada and commemorates the spot where the S.S. Beaver was wrecked on July 26,1888. This historic vessel was built for the Hudson's Bay Company at Blackwall, Eng- land in 1885 and sailed for this coast immediately. She was the pioneer steamship of the Pacific Ocean and many stories have been written concerning the voy- ages of this vessel in those early days. The Pauline Johnson monu- ment is also of rather unique de- sign, consisting of the head of Pauline Johnson chiselled on the face of the rocks which have been gathered together in the form of a memorial to the mem- ory of this celebrated Indian poetess. The monument bears the simple inscription "E. Paul- ine Johnson, 1861-1913," while at the side is the word "Tekahi- onwake" by which name she was known among her own relatives and friends. Immediately above this word is a rough chisseled drawing of a flint and feather, which she selected as the title of one of her books. Just inside the entrance to Stanley Park from English Bay, there is a bust of David Oppen- heimer who was mayor of Van- couver in 1889, 1890, 1891 and 18"2. It was during his term as mayor that Stanley Park was of- ficially opened and received its present name in honor of Lord Stanley who attended the open- ing ceremony. The most recent monument to June 22, 1928. be erected around Vancouver is that in memory of Joe Forte by the Kiwanis Club of Vancouver. This monument stands at the English Bay side of Alexandra Park and overlooks the waters of the bay where Joe kept so long a faithful watch in his self-ap- pointed task of life guard. The history of Joe Forte is both un- usual and romatic. A consider- able number of years ago u maj- estic white clipper appeared a- round Point Grey and entered Vancouver harbor. Among the crew of the vessel was a com- paratively young black man. This man was Joe Forte. The vessel cast anchor in the middle of the inlet and as its anchor touched bottom, Joe went over the side of the ship and was swimming for the shore. Arriving in Van- couver, he lay low for sometime and following the departure of the vessel, he started to become a familiar figure at English Bay. He was a remarkably strong swimmer and was particularly fond of children and consequent- ly he took a delight in teaching the boys and girls of Vancouver how to swim. Just in front of the courthouse is a drinking fountain which was erected to the memory of Ed- ward VII, one of the most popu- lar sovereigns of the British Em- pire. Near the waterfront on Carrall Street is another solidly con- structed fountain. This com- memorates the spot where what was known as "the big tree" once grew. It was beneath the branches of this tree that Van- couver City fathers had their ~ council meetings in the early days and it was beside its charr- ed remains that they again as- sembled to consider their recon- struction plans after the disast- rous fire which swept the city in 1886. There are numerous monu- ments in the vicinity of Vancou- ver and the surrounding suburbs but it is impossible to deal with all of them in the space of this article. %vo of the better known of these are the cenotaph in Victory Square, which stands as a silent tribute to those who paid the supreme sacrifice in the days of the country's need. Another well-known war memorial is that erected by the Canadian Pacific Railway to the employees on their staff who served with the forces in the years of the war. This monument is a fascimile of others erected by the C.P.R. in Montreal, winnipeg and other Canadian cities. I I 1 r p I I I I I Jei i ~,i 4 Member of the B. C.
