Soil THE iVESTON CARTAGE West 201L Correspondence I WOULD CHANGE BI ETHOD OF TAKING FERRY TICKETS To the Editor of Thy IVest Van News. Dear Sir,--lii the last issue of your valuable paper, you had an editorial "Fares on Our Ferries," suggesting a ten (10c) fare on our ferries. This is a most praiseivorthy suggestion and needs all the sup- port the travelling public can give it. Given a ten (10c) fare straight on the ferries (or ten (10) rides for One Dollar), and five (5c) fare on the busses, straight (or say tiventy (20) rides for One Dollar) and if some ingenious person will only devise some means ivhereby, fares on the fer- ries can be collected BEFORE embarking, or, UPON embarking then there is no doubt but ivhat travelling public ivill patronize the ferries to a much greater extent than heretofore and that the revenue from this source will be very materially increased there is no doubt. Further, if season tickets ivere «dopted for business people travelling to and fro daily via. bus and ferry as in the Old Country,such a boon would prove a blessing to them, would it not~ Thanking you for the space alloived me, Yours truly, FELIX J. TROUGHTON I'OISON AIUSHROOAIS EASY TO RECOGNIZE EVhen you don't know for cer- tain ivhether a mushroom is ed- ible or not do not eat it. Of the tivo most common poisonous ti~es that should be avoided we give the following descriptions: "The most important part of the deadly amanita is the sheath at the base of the stem known as the death cup. The ring on the stem is larger than that of the common mushroom, and the gills are white, both when young and old, those common mush- rooms being at first pink, then black. Nothing can be told from the color of the upper surface of the cap because it varies so niuch. )Vhen one is gathering mushrooms, it is exceedingly im- portant to get all of the stem and not leave a portion of it in the ground, since the death-cup may thus be overlooked. "The fly amanita is as beauti- ful as it is dangerous. The cap is usually bright scarlet, yellow- ish or orange, sometimes fading to nearly white, and covered with conspicuous warts, which are portions of the death-cup car- ied up from beloiv. The rest of the cup will usually be found in fragments in the soil about the swollen base of the stem. The gills are white and remain so, thus differing from those of the common mushroom. The warts on the cap also distinguish it." For a Better Tea, better try Play a game of 3 tables for your pleasure C.-I;l. S.- EI.DS 14th StreetRight at the Railway Crossing It is Better?

The folloiving story came orig- inally from St. Thomas, Ontario: A party of ladies and gentlemen at dinner were discussing Scotch manners and customs, when someone remarked that a bright lady present was an enthusiastic admirer of everything Scotch, having lately secured among other curiosities, a hinge from the barn-door and a piece of ivood from the door of the house where Burns was born. Another member of the company there- upon remarked, with a wink to his next neighbor, that his wife had a shingle from the barn where he had learned to play poker. The lady of the Burns relics at once retorted, "Your mother ought to have had it " Horseshoe Pitching A keen game ivas played off on the KVest Vancouver Horse- shoe Pitching Courts at Amble- side, on Tuesday evening be- tiveen the West Vancouver Horse Shoe Pitching Club and North Vancouver Elks Club.
