The "Province" some weeks sgo, displayed a sketch of the oificial plan of the proposed bridge for the First Narrows, In ; I accordance with the require- Pjhf ments for the Federal Govern- '.~» ment. Accompanying it was an article outlining the plan, and showing the complete practic- ability of the proposition. It also compared this proposed struct- ure with the "St. John's Suspen- Hion Bridge" now nearing com- pletion across the river at Port- kk "~~~ land. It so happened that just the ,..., Sunday previous I crossed this river in 0 ferry-boat just beside St. John's Bridge. I was greatly impressed with the magnitude, the graceful sweep of the great Tickets Soc each y Out. TRACK)YORK IMI'ROVE. MENTS CARRIED OUT Considerable improvements have been made this month to the trackwork of the North Van- couver street car lines according to ofl'icials of the maintenance- of-way department of the B. C. Electric Railway Company. Over a sector of the Lynn Valley route between Keith road asd Nine- teenth avenue the rail joints, hitherto in opposite positions a- long the track, have been "stag- gered" and fresh ballasting done on the track bed. The result has been to produce easier riding for the street ears. The special trackwork between First Street and Lonsdale Avenue near the ferry station has also been im- proved. It is stated that an ex- penditure of approximately 58r 000 has been made in these im- provements.cables, and the artistic propor- tions of the structure, demon- strating man's triumph over the forces of nature before which our barbaric ancestors bowed in"ear and trembling. To my young companions I ex- pressed 0 desire that had I faith,4 even as a grain of mustard seed" I would .not move a mountain, but would move this bridge to B. C. and place it across the bi Lion's Gate where it is needed I very much more than it is re-+'uired in the city to the South. This Province article tells us that St, John's Bridge is 20 feet i" lower than the required specifl- cation but it is of the correct type for our purpose, Instead of crossing an Inlet sometimes in 8 storm-tossed or befogged boat, . 'i a bridge would unite the North and South shores with a passage ;i of a couple oi moments on a l» smooth, wide, level pavement which as far as navigational int- ests are concerned would not exist. The question that puzzles many of our visitors is, that g f-,- Vancouver enjoying scenic and 8 other advantages unsurpassed, if ~ not surpassing that of any city on this Continent, would be still using such slow and out-of-date means of crossing the Inlet where nature had provided all ~ie essentials for a comparative- ~Fy inexpensive and perfectly safe means for this purpose, with the rock material of the Southern pier already in position, and the sand and gravel for the other at hand. Many are also puzzled why the bumped-out bridge that spanned the Second Narrows was More Than That Customer: "The eggs you sent me this week were bad." Grocer: "Were they really, ma'm, that's too bad." Customer: "No, it isn', all six were." sion bridge in the world now crosses the St. Lawrence, yet these were all at one time op- posed by vested interests and constitutional reactionaries. In McLean's magazine of April 15th, may be seen 8 de- scription of the new Hudson Bay bridge now nearing completion. Our proposed span will be 1400 feet, the Hudson span is 8,500 feet, it will cost 60 million dol- lars, ours will cost 5 million. The vested interests and wind- jammers who tried to stop the Brooklyn bridge 8 generation ago declared it would fall down, ruin navigation and spoil the scenery. According to McLean'8 article, "No one expects the Hnd- son bridge to fall, many expected the Brooklyn span to fall." Fear is the greatest enemy of our race, It is high time the progressive element of our pub- lic took hold of economic and in- dustrial problems. There are several now besides the Brook- lyn bridge crossing the East River, and I have never heard of any modern construction fall- ing down, or even obstructing navigation. W. J. CURRY ever begun.

ERIC Al,i AN At 8 o'lock Thursday after- noon the 18th instant, in the pretty little church of St. Fran- cis-in-the-Woods, C au I f e i id, Guinevere de Villiers (Vere), only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Joubert Brunt of Vancouver and formerly of South Africa, became the bride of Mr. John Eric Allan, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Dodd Allan of Radcliife ave- nue, Rev. A. Harding Priest officiated. Approaching the church through a tiny, rustic gate, guests were ushered to paws marked with foxglove spikes tied with white mock or- ange blossoms and canterbury bells, while the altar was beauti- ful with arum lilies and aspara- gus fern. At either side were baskets filled with the blue, pink and white blossoms which had been gathered from the gardens of Caulfeild by Mrs. William Clarke, Mrs. James D. Tait, Mrs. W. H. Vase and Miss Jean Wat- son, who were responsible for the decorations. Tall and very fair, and wear- ing pure white chiifon, the bride was an exquisite picture as she came up the aisle with her fath- er, preceded by two attendants, Miss Adele Herrmann and Miss Josephine Allan, sister of the groom. Following out the princ- ess line, the chiffon was cut shorter in front, to show several rows of white net frills. The back of the frock had 8 slight train of chiffon over net, and the bodice was softened by 0 cape collar both front and back en- crusted with pearls and bugle crystal beads. The chifFon sleev- es, long and tight-iitting, and coming to points over the hand, were edged with white net, pearls and crystal beads, while a sash of white chiffon, starting from the side from 0 scroll of pearls tied at the back in 8 simple bow. In place of the customary brid- al veil she wore a hat of white silk tulle, large and transparent in halo effect, with orange blos- soms and stems as trimming. Her slippers were of white satin, and she carried a sheaf of arum lilies and asparagus fern with trailing streamers of white satin. As delicate as the flower color ings were the pastels of Miss Adele Herrmann'8 and Miss Jos- ephine Allan's frocks. Diifering only in the color of sashes and hats, they were of white chiffon embroidered all over in pink silk rosebuds. The neckline was low with cape collar and short cape sleeves, and the wide sash of satin, one pink and the other blue, fastened in a large bow at the side back. The frocks were worn over matching pink and blue slips,and hats of spotted mohair were trimmed with org- andie in the predominating color note. Their flowers were blue delphinium and pink butterfly roses tied with streamers of pink and blue satin ribbon. Mr. James Henderson was best man, and hIr. Dalton Allan and Mr. IVilliam Buckingham were ushers. The reception followed ihe ceremony at Lorna Vista, home of Mr. and Mrs. Dalton Al- lan, where blue delphinium, mock orange blossoms and pink roses had again been used as decora- tion. The flowers formed an arch, and on the bridal table was a wedding cake, topped with a silver vase holding the palest of pink roses. There were also flat bowls of lily of the valley and pink roses In posy effect, and candelabra with snow white tap- ers. Mrs. Brunt assisted in receiv- ing, wearing a French blue cos- tume of silk crepe with blue shoes and a blue and grey hat. Her corsage bouquet was of pink butterfly roses and purple pansi. es. Mrs. Allan had chosen a pink beige chiifon ensemble with lace oke and short coat, while her at was of jade green straw.
