COUNCIL FAVORS AUTO FERR Y FRO il HORSE- SHOE BA Y TO GRAN- THAill'S LANDING The council on Monday night nt on record as unanimously dorsing as a public benefit de- s rving of the support of all pub- lic bodies, a resolution passed bv the delegates representing Port Mellon, Hopkin's Landing, Gib- son's Landing, Robert's Creek. Elphinstone Bay, Wilson Creek, Selma Park, Sechelt, Traill Bay, Half Moon Bay and Pender Har- bour at their meeting on 12th November, the said resolution being that the government be requested to subsidiso an auto ferry service between Horseshoe Bay or the vicinity and Gran- tham's Landing or the vicinity. A letter was also ordered sent to Captain lan i&fackenzie, M.L. A., asking for his support of the project when it comes before the legislature. CO&~H~I AINS OF lVATER SHED INTERFERE E T. Dodson wrote the council drawing their attention to the activities of the Greater Vancou- ver IVater Board in the second canyon on the Capilano. Accord- ing to information received by him they had drilled five test holes in the floor of the canyon and at the back of the Canyon View Hotel with the intention of putting in a storage basin with a dam 200 feet high. He was of the opinion that this would re- sult in flooding nearly all that ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ portion of the river bed between the canyon and the second hotel, resulting in the public being pre- vented from gettting into that watershed. It would in his opin- ion stop the use of the north side of Grouse Mountain, the whole of Dam Mountain and the Crown Mountains, east and west, as well as the east end of Hollyburn, which was the municipality's greatest asset. Vancouver's mountain playground would thus cease to exist. He said further it would dry up the river each year for eight to nine weeks, which would kill all the fish and stop the run of salmon for all time. He asked that action be taken at once to prevent such a dam being built, and that repre- sentations be made to the gov- ernment to make the Capilano a public park from the sea up to the present intake. At the pres- ent time the increase in traffi" would soon demaM that a street- car be run up to the second can- yon. For everyone who went up into that district ten years ago there were one hundred today. The matter was referred to the municipal engineer to invest- igate and report. Customer, in small store: "Izzy, how many doors have you got in this store?" Izzy: "V'y, two doors, of course. De front door and de back door." Customer: "Ah. that is where you are wrong, Izzy. You have four doors. You have a front door, a back door, a cuspidor and Isadore." Izzy: "Ha, ha, dot's good. Just you vait and I get that on Rach- ael." Later, after the arrival of Rachael: Izzy: "Rachael, how many doors have ve got in dis store?" Rachael: "Aw, now, don't be so foolish. Ve got two doors, of course." Izzy: "Aw, no, Rachael, ve got four doors--the front door, the back door, the spittoon und me myself." Everyone has heard about the intelligence of the dog, but there was an occasion when a dog and his master were sitting under a notice-board, erected on the bank of a river, the man talking to the dog, when an indignant farmer appeared on the scene. "Here," he demanded sternly, "what's that dog doing here? Can't you see this sign, "No dogs allowed?" "Oh, yes, I'e seen the notice all right," replied the man soft- ly, "but, I don't see what good it is--the dog can't read." There was a young lady from bIecca Who was said to be a good Necca, Some boys tried her out. All they got was a clout, She sure was no lady, by Hecca.

It would be interest- ing to try and figure out the length of skirts when accidents are entirely eliminated.--Ottawa Journal. FRIENDSHIP, LOVE AN TRUTH You chance to meet a pretty girl, And find your feelings in a whirl, When she with smiles and teeth of pearls, Accepts you as her gallant hferle. This is Friendship. Your friendship grows from day to day; You seem to have things all your way; You kiss her lips, you sooth her cheek, Your arms around her make her meek. This is Love. But, stormy days to come at that, When you and she do have some spat; You fight her till your throat gets hoarse, She calmly tells you she is boss. T HE tendency is for public utilitycompanies to become bigger and bigger and, in so doing, companies are rendering better and better service to the public. Vancouver and the lower mainland are served by hve B.C. Electric power plants, while another is building. These diverse sources of power reduce»~t to an impossibility the chance of a prolonged breakdown of power supply. Only in such large interlinked systems can the beat and the cheapest service be rendered. ~$5QlrmaM FryavruC~gg, vANCOUVER vlcToaw THE WEST VAN NEWS Whimsical Review Should Have Been promoted "What did the boss say when you told him it was triplets T" "He promoted me to be head of my department."

A fortune teller has told me I shall marry a blond within a month." She: "Oh, that's all right. I can be a blond within a month." STRANGEIIS WITHIiV OUR GATES He's a Chinese or a Hindu, he's a Dago or a Greek, And the language of our country is a tongue he cannot speak. He has sought the land of freedom for the dream is in his breast, And he's going rather blindly for the things he knows are best. He's a power for good or evil, he will hate us or revere And become a friend or traitor from the way we treat him here. "IVhat is your pleasure, sir T" said the teller to the customer. "Golf," replied the gentleman, 'but I came here to get a check cashed." Still Another One Two Scotchmen had planned to go fishing at five in the morning. Only one of them had an alarm clock, but he finally hit on a solution of rousing the other. "Mac," he said, "when the clock goes off I'l get up and ring ye on a public telephone. But, for Lord's sake be sure and don't answer it, so I can get my nickel back." He had heard about our country in a vague and hazy way, It's the land where men are happy and where little children play, But he's strange to all the customs that surround him now he's here; And he misses much that's spoken, but he understands s sneer, He would like to do as we do, but he doesn't quite know how, And he'l never grow to like us if we all neglect him now. Liza, the negro cook, answered the telephone, one morning and n cheerfui voice inquired, "What number is this T" Liza was in no mood for trifling questions, and said with some asper- ity, "You all ought to know. You done called it." There's a mighty force within him if we only understood, We can spurn it to our danger, or can mould it to our good; We can turn our backs upon him, or can make of him a friend, Who will conic to speak our language and the flag we love defend, But it's not enough to pay him for the labor of his hand, We must teach him all our customi. till he learns to love our land. The simple life is all right if you can afford it. When a girl says she has nothing to wear that is an exaggeration--but not much.--Brandon Sun. The hiodern Child Father: "I got a note from your teacher today." Son: "That's all right, dad. I'l keep it quiet." He's a Chinese or a Hindu, he's a Dago or a Greek, But he's very busy thinking, though his thoughts he cannot speak, In the future he'l be something--that is true of every man- And the blame may be upon us if he' not Canadian, So let's make him a Canadian, and let's treat him as a friend. And let's teach him love of freedom- it will pay us in the end. "Why did you hand the boy in the cloak room such a big tip when he gave you your coatT" "Just look at the coat he gave me."

PORT TRADE SHOiVS GROWTH Exports for Nine llonths Em- ceed All 19o7 Deep sea ei~orts out of Van- couver for the first nine months of 1928 exceeded the total for the whole of 1927 by 238,800 tons, it was revealed today by the statistician of the Harbor Board. The increase for the nine months was l,MS,980 tons, half as much as the entire ei~ort for 1926. T. F. Brown, irho compiled the figures, also reports that deep-sea exports took a phenom- enal jump, registering up to Sep- tember 30 at an increase of 50,- 575 tons with a total increase of 196,804 tons. An analvsis of the export ton- nage by commodities shows that lumber played a minor role in the port's activity. displaying a dmin of only 1,929,824 board feet. IVheat and fish accounted for the huge volume of shipping in the period surveyed. The increases recorded were handled by 20S more deep-sea ships than cleared up to the end of September, 19'.
