Designed to carry Vancouver's water from Capilano River, the undertaking was started in Aug- ust, 1931, and by June, 1933, it is expected to be ready for the test. Thirty-one hunderd,feet long, the tunnel has a gradual grade of fiv feet to 8 low point at the south end. Members of the parties, dres- sed in slickers and gum-boots of tunnel workers, were conveycil om the southern shore of tliearrows to the northern shaft in a small powerboat. Here, in 8 huge bucket with a capacity load of seven persons, and oper- ated by a hoist, they were low- ered 400 feet below the swirling waters. Standing on the iloor of the tunnel, the visitors viewed a long line of blinking electric lights hanging from the roof. Thc return journey to the south shore of the Narrows was through the bore. Along the route, sections where di(ficulties were experienced by the work- men were pointed out. Boring of the tunnel was com- pleted in January of this year. Blasting operations proved less diificult than anticipated be- cause of soft rock encountered. 1Vhen the tunnel is completed, it is estimated 18,000 barrels of cement will have been used in lining it, Of the 3100 feet of Bonna pipe size 7 by 6 feet, to be instaled in the tunnel, 1300 has been laid. On the outside of each section of pipe, a six-inch concrete back- ing is shot into place with pres- sure guns. Twelve sacks of ce- ment to each yard of pipe are Used. The tunnel is designed to withstand water pressure of 260 pounds per square inch. Most di(ficult part of the job was the sinking of the caisson of the north shore. Approximately 130 feet of loose gravel was pene- trated before striking rock. In the opening stages of the tunnel work, pressure ventilation was used, but now, with both the northern and southern shafts 4ompleted, this is unnecessary.)ne hundred men are employed by Northern Construction Com- pany on the work. When completed, this latest addition in water facilities will replace the many mains now supplying the thousands of ser- vices in Vancouver with North Shore water. Those in charge of the parties inspecting the tunnel were Mr. N. D. Lambert, general superin- tcndent, 2nd hlr. H. E.

TERhIITES MAY BE iVEIV CITY THREAT Thermites -- wood-boring in- sects which have been known to cause much damage in southern countries -- may have invaded Vancouver. City Architect A. J. Bird ap- peared at a meeting of the civic building committee Monday aft- ernoon with a three-foot plank which had been practically de- stroyed by insects which he thought might be termites. Architect Bird explained he had sent several of the insects to the forestry department at University of British Columbia for identification. The board he displayed was only five years old, yet hsd been so undermined with holes that it was practically use- le88. The committee decided to leave the matter in the hands of the architect for 8 full investi- gation. Considerable data on termites --compiled by University of Southern California--is in Mr. Bird's possession. It is declared that "no district can be safe from the attack of termites" and that "because of the insidious nature of infestation the extent and importance of damage done by the insects has long been und- erestimated." The above may be of interest to our readers, as one West Van- couver resident informs me he has had to put creosote all 8- round his bungalow to protect the wood against what is pre- sumably this pest.--Editor.

Orch«gtra--The Music iiiakers Tickets 50c THE WEST VAN NEWS THE BURNING BUSH By Subadar Some Methodist minister from England, speaking st the United Church General Council in Ham- ilton, according to 8 newspaper report, stated last week that, if the Disarmament Conference could meet in Canada instead of at Geneva, 8 different mood might show itself ss 8 result of a different atmosphere. Such utter tosh is enough to drive the man of average intelligence rav- ing mad! Does any sane man suppose that these days a nation keeps up armaments for fun or to please the armament manu- facturers? No, of course not. Armaments are national insur- ance against national disaster by way of war, and no nation dare disarm beyond 8 certain limit, whether it confers on the sub- ject at Geneva, Ottawa, Timbuc- too or the North Pole. Canada relies on the British Navy to keep her out of trouble, when it comes down to hard psn, and so does the United States, though the latter won't admit it. What is most wanted nowadays every- where is 8 little of the plain un- adulterated truth on many 8ub- jects. If the reverend gentleman be- fore making his speech in Ham- ilton had only asked a few local residents what they thought of Toronto and its people, he might have changed his opinion on the kind of peaceful atmosphere prevalent amongst us. An Imperial oificer is reported to have written 8 book, in which he states the English line regi- ments in the Late Unmention- able did not compare with the infantry from the Dominions. One wonders why it is that every now and then some veteran pops up and publishes a book about the IVar in which he proceeds to slam somebody. The IVar is over, and why not let it be over? I was with the Canadian infan- try, and we did our best like everybody else. It may not have been the best, and it may have been better than some. The only two certain things are tlist we all helped the Americans to win the War, the other being--and there's been a whole lot of un- necessary talk about it--that the Germans lost the battle of Jut- land, or they would not have run away from that fight snd then never come back. "Mike fright" is the latest form of fright to be inflicted on suifering humanity. It is said to be quite common among those who broadcast to a waiting world. The older form of "mike fright" goes back into the dim ages, having been always prev- alent among other races, when- ever the sons of Erin decided to enjoy themselves at their favor- ite pastime. It has, of course, been a very common complaint for years with the underworld of the Eastern States at such times as the police in those parts have decided to get busy. I don't blame at all the Chin- ese who come here, for life in China must be certainly very hectic. Between floods, local ban- dits and bandits on tour, earth- quakes, Chinese mothers-in-law, house and other devils, hard work and infitesimal wages, the average Chinaman must lead a real dog's life. No wonder the ivholesale lopping oif of heads that one hears of so often has remained such a popular pas- time among the race for most of them must have little to hold them to life. Comparisons are usually odious, but, when we feel depressed it won't do most of us any harm to read of life in China as it is snd has been for many centuries among the masses.
