From one acre, the lightnmg fire on the old Naismith logging operat'ion at Hollyburn spread over fifty acres. The blaze wss started by lightning hlonday night. Eighty men, under the super- vision of provincial forestry of- ficers, have surrounded the out- break with a trench. The fire is reported to be under control, and no further trouble is antici- pated. J THE ROAD TO TO»ORROW Only a few weeks ago our council was notified of the Pro- vincial Government's intention to make Marine Drive a prim- ary highway. The announcement contains both a recognition and a promise, a recognition of the importance of the Drive from a through traffic standpoint, and a promise of its future as a link in the opening up of the North Shore and up coast points. There ~is something fascinating about a trunk road. Think of the trunk roads which Rome built up and down and across England. Upon them marched her legions with their watch- word of "Rome's race, Rome's pace," bringing security and law and civilization and opening up the country to the roads'nds. .0 There is the Grand Trunk Road in India, the greatest rosilin the world, which runs straight for fifteen hundred miles, C.l'.R. I'RESIDENT To ADDRESS NORTH SHORE CANADIAN CI.UB When the president of the Canadian Pacific R a i I w a y, world's greatest transportation company, has but two days to spend in Vancouver during his present Canadian tour and yet can find time to visit the North Shore and address the North Shore Jubilee Canadian Club, citizens of North Vancouver have every occasion to feel hon- ored. Mr. Beatty will join with cit- izens of North Vancouver at the dinner to be held in the Palace Hotel at 6.15 p. m. Thursday, September 18. He is coming to the Pacific Coast snd Vancouver on Septem ber 16. With him are Sir Her- bert Holt, Sir Charles Gordon, R. S. McLaughlin, Beaudry Le- man, W. A, Black, and Senator Smceton White of Montreal. It would be difficult to select in the whole breadth of the land a party more representative of Canadian commerce and indus- try. During Mr. Beatty's visit to Vancouver from 5.55 p.m. Sep- tember 16, till midnight Septem- ber 18, the Canadian Pacific president will address probably ee functions ne of them will be the Fall sting oi Zne Canafiianil'adific ociation. Mr. Beatty has mised the president, H. J. guire that he will speak to s gathering. It is also prob- e that he will speak to the adian Club of Vancouver on iinvitation of C. A. Cotterel!, eral superintendent of the adian Pacific in British Col- bia, and president of the local adian Club. Mr. Beatty's rd semi-public appearance, it ears, will be his attendance at dinner to be given on the ning of September 18th by iNorth Shore Jubilee Canadi- Club. Mr. Beatty has already ured R. A. Sargent,president this act'ive local organization t he will attend and speak efly. t is significant of the North re's growing importance in wth and development of the t of Vancouver that Nr. Beat- y, who holds one of the greatest positions and one of the most responsible in all of Canada, should find time to join with cit- 'izens of this district at a func- tion which he has consented to speak. Nr. Beatty's time, by vir tue of his important position in the economic a!fairs of the Do- minion, is money, and it is hoped the few minutes he spends with members and guests of the Jub- ilee Canadian Club will be one of the best mutual investments of his visit to the Pacific Coast. To ORGANIZE FOOTBALL A meeting is being held in the ferry rooms at Ambleside Wharf next Monday night at 8 p.m. to discuss the matter of organ- izing one or more football teams in West Vancouver this fall and winter. All those interested are asked to attend, as it is neces- sary to make an early start in order to get into the league.

LEGION LADIES'UXILIARY A special meeting of the Ladies'uxiliary of the Canadi- an Legion was held in the Legion Memorial Hall last Monday aft- ernoon to hear the results of the activities of the auxiliary at the Labor Day carnival. This was their first work since being form- ed and much satisfaction was ex- pressed with the results. Mr. Davie, holding ticket N 166, was the lucky winner of the jardiniere and fern, A letter was sent to General A, D. McRae conveying to him the council's high appreciation of the service he rendered to the district in overcoming the post office department's objections to establishing a mail delivery in West Vancouver.

There was an interlude in the latter half of last cen ~ tury during which the burden was taken up by the railroad, but with the introduction and universal use of the motor car p« the road has come into its own again. Once more mankird is using the road upon which to set up his civilization. As a result of the erection of the Capilano bridge and the accident to the Second Narrows bi'idge hlarine Drive has only been reafiy available to the travelling public this summer. The traffic using it the last few months has been enormous but gen nothing to what it will be when the ferry connections across Howe Sound and Jervis Inlet have been established and the var ious links in the road to Powell River all connected up. As it is, hlarine Drive in the short time since it has been surfaced has been responsible for a steady and increasing building up app of the westerly end of our municipality. This process of ex- pansion will continue steadily from now on, and one can easilv visualize the road to Powell River, the northerly end of Marine Drive, acting its part in opening up the coast to that point and bringing the people of Greater Vancouver to settle and build homes along its borders and the adjacent lands. All this is w'ithin measurable distance of fulfilment. We have in Marine Drive one of the finest, if not the finest scenic highway in the world, but it is even more than that to us, it O is our road to tomorrow, the roai by which West Vancouver will come into the great future which is surely awaiting our g« efi'orts of the past few years. per t QOLLYBI:RN PUBLIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION The Library Board would like to bring before the public of West Vancouver the good work they are doing in the promotion of education by the means of good literature in this munici- pality. The record of this Board dur- ing these last two years is un- paralleled since the inception of the Library, inasmuch, as the expenditure for new volumes aad total membership has increased 100'I over previous years. It is therefore, obvious thai this con- dition has been only brought a- bout by hard work, and subse- quent cetoperative measures. We would particularly draw the attention of non-members and heartilv invite them to en- rol las members of this Associa- tion. Are they aware of the ad- vantages the Library can oger. For a fee of $2.00 Ipayable half yearly, January-June. July- December inclusive), a choice of 2000 volumes can be had, and in addition to this, new volumes are being purchased monthly. Previous mention has been made of work and c~rative measures: Yes! Work for the member to solicit non-members, and c~peration as a mesne to ensure greater membership greater good will--and greater success. Cards of ineiuberahip can bc obtained upon application at the Library--Gemiaill's Drug Store, Corner 14th and hlarine. Join now. COUNCIL NOTES K. A. Ray wss present to state that lot 16, D.
