Mining and Stock Exchange Hollyburn Ridge, the great forest clad hog's back, on the lower slopes of which iVest Van- couver is built, stretches from the Capilano westward to the shores of Howe Sound. It is ap- proximately 3000 feet high, and on the top it spreads out in a large plateau containing miles of forest and park areas and a beau- tiful chain of lakes. From this plateau are,'visible marvellous panoramas of beauty. To the north and east are the great sur- rounding mountain ranges, to the ivest the eye looks down on the ivaters of the gulf, while to the south there is Burrard Inlet and Vancouver with Mount Bak- er and the Olympic mountains in the distance. "The amazing thing is that it is possible to get into such char- acteristically delightful moun- tain country in one day from Vancouver. Starting from the city in the morning with light packs, a hiking party can be in a magnificent mountain fastness by early afternoon. The most popular trail leading from )Vest Vancouver is well known as the Twenty-second street trail. It is a continuation of Twenty-second street, Dunda- rave, an old skid road which climbs the mountain on very easy grades. The other trail, a little farther ivest, is reached by Twenty-fifth street, Dundarave. Both go up about 1500 feet to what is known as the box-flume trail, which runs east and west along the mountain. The Twen- ty-fifth street trail continues up the big sidehill until the ski camp is reached. The Twenty- second trail climbs from the head of the street to the box-flume, follows the flume west to where the Twenty-fifth come up. From there one trail leads to the ski camp. The Twenty-fifth trail is more direct path to the ski camp, but it is a little steeper and rougher than the Twenty- second.

CRICKETERS QTIE FOR LEADERSHIP IN LEAGUE ANGUS bIcGOUGAN OF CEDARS LlbIITED LOSES bIOTHER Death claimed another old- timer of the North Shore on Sun- day last when Mrs. Euphemia NcGougan, 94, passed away at the home of her son, Angus Mc- Gougan, of Cedars Ltd., North Vancouver. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from her late residence, 256 Sixth Street east, with Rev. C. A. Switzer officiat- ing. Interment will be made in her old home town of Glencoe, Ontario. The late Mrs. McGougan came to Vancouver nine years ago, lat- er moving to North Vancouver. Three sons, Angus of North Van- couver, Malcolm of Okotoks, Alta., and Edward, pastor of Chalmers church, Vancouver, are 1«ft to mourn her loss. )Vest Vancouver beat Lynn Valley 141 to 29 in the game last Saturday and by doing so the two teams are tied for first place in the North Shore cricket lea- gue. )Vest Vancouver lost 2 wick- ets for 6 but Baker soon put a different complexion on the game with a freely hit 91 in quick time, hitting 17 boundari- es. Apart from Baker the re- mainder of the team only put on 44 with Emerton Court making the only double figures of 11. Newton bowling had 3 for 19. Hampton 3 for 20, MacLagan 2 for 22. Lynn Valley's first two wick- ets were doivn for 14, 3 for 22, I for 26, and the whole side out for 29. It required ointly 9 overs to dismiss the team. Rerrie boivled 4 overs and took 6 wick- ets for 12 runs, doing the hat trick and getting four with five balls. Emerton Court got four wickets for 14 runs.

The amateur photographer, the land- scape painter, the botanist, or the lover of birds and wild ani- mals can ask no more than this high green plateau affords. The admirer of bird life finds here many species which he has had no opportunity to study at low- er altitudes.--J. Pollough Pogue. In the summer many still hike up the ridge and camp and fish in the lakes. A trail has also been cut for horses, and moun- tain ponies can be hired in EVest Vancouver, enabling those who wish to do so to ride instead of hiking up to the plateau. At present Hollyburn Ridge as a playground is only in its in- fancy, but the time will come, and it is not far distant, when it will rival even Banff as,a pleasure resort both in winter and summer for the people of British Columbia and other lands. A girl reading a newspaper came across an advertisement that said: "How a Girl can Keep Her Youth." She sent the dollar they asked for, and received the answer: "Never introduce him to another girl, especially if she'- pretti er."
