Domenlo Burns has chosen a lte on Shaughnessy Heights for a great cathedral, which he desires his co-rellgtonlsts to build. Sfcaughnessy Heights is the Nob Hill or tfie Mayfair of Vancouver for wealth and fashion have made It an abiding place, and no city of the continent af ford so superb a residential "dlntrlct. The hill picked by Mr. Burns is the crest of the heights, and a cathedral built there would be visible from every residence In the city, from every ship In. the harbor and from every yacht or sloop or boat sailing the waters of the Cult of Georgia or the Fraser river. Here Is building a city whose debtlny iaZ Imperial. and whose fame and achievements will outshine that of Home, of Athens and of Vonlce. Five ; n.d twenty years ago a few thousand frontiersmen and women had gathered li ere. Today some two hundred thous and people call Vancouver home, and Jfr jears hence a million or two as rich net prosperous and happy as any In the world will dwell beneath the shadow of the cathedral built on Snaughnessy Heights. Great rutura for Tanconrar. Often have I heard the warning. "don't-prophesy unless you know," and I em not unmindful of the advice, but In m7 mlnd'a eye, 1 see a million people fathered here five and twenty years hence, and ere this century ends. I see "Vancouver greater thnn Paris or Ber lin, and far more glorious and richer and more populous than ancient Rome. -During the past five and twenty years . the world has made more material pro gress, grown more In population, gained More in wealth, and accomplished more wonders than during all the ages from "A little ere the mighty Julius fell" until the downfall of Napoleon at Wa terloo. Fancy that long period, the cen- - turies of Julius Caesar and Napoleon lid til the span between, and then .weigh well the fact that the progress ftl the last five and twenty years excels the progress of that long period of well nigh two thousand years. The growth of wealth, of population, of gold, of comforts, of conveniences, of means of Innocent enjoyment, of trade and com merce have surpassed all. that of the . perod from the downfall of Caesar to the downfall of Napoleon. The world's population will increase five hundred millions in the next 25 years.' That is the great cardinal fact,. not for dreamers and poets, but for bankers and statesmen to study. Is it not marvelous to think that in a gen eration a population Is to be added to the world's present population, greater - than tbat of all Europe? ; Beyond argument over a hundred mil lions of additional population will have ' to be cared for in Canada and In the United States during the next five and twenty years. That is why the Panama canal is building, and that Is why west ern Canada Is now rushing the con struction of the most complete network of railroads ever built. Canada would not be true to her mis sion were she to halt her developments and stop the building of her railways, or the sanitary improvements of her cities, or the felling of her forests, or the creation of new farms, or the har- nagging of her great waterfalls, or the building of mills and factories, or the development of her mines, till Wall 1 street or Lombard street gave the sig nal to go ahead. The Pacific northwest and the Canadian prairies realize their splendid destiny, and they realize too, that the progress and prosperity of . the whole civilized world calls for the rapid development of this the richest nd most salubrious and most prolific ally fertile region of the work). ' Financial Independence FrsvaUs. As well might the mother be asked to halt the provision for her unborn babe, as ask the states and provinces of the "Pacific northwest to halt their de velopment and activities to suit the con venience of the bankers, of Paris, New Tork and London. If Paris, New York nd London do not desire a share of the profits accruing from Investments in the Pacific northwest, its people will find other means of finance. The west Is no longer wholly dependent financial- Rids Skin of AU Hairs, Try It, Free .Wonderful New Preparation, Unlike Anything Ever Known Before.

Top, left to right Corner of repair shop and other machines. Blacksmith shop and forge. Bottom Section of storeroom, at left. Men working on a city automobile In repair shop, at right. Portland's municipal repair shop, gar age, storeroom and workshop at fc,asi First and Madison streets Is now In ac tive operation and the men In the re pair shop had their first real work when the city automobile, formerly used by the mayor, was overhauled lart week. Al though the shoos are In operation, all of the equipment is not ir -tailed. A few weeks more, hpwever, will see every. thing ship shape. The municipal building 1b under direct supervision of J. R. Wood, municipal purchasing agent. All orders for re pairs, supplies and other necessities for the city are handled through his depart ment. The basement of the building Is fitted up with a blacksmith shop, containing a forge nd other necessities. All of the horses owned by the city, except those used by the fire department, are to be shod there. Trelght Elevator Used, The horses are to be brought Into the building and taken to the basement In the big freight elevator. On the first floor are located the au tomobile repair works. The shops con tain lathes and all other machines ne cessary to do the work. It is estimated that repairs can be done at this shop a ly on the east. The Pacific northwest has such marvelous resources that her people can well afford to pay higher rates of Interest for the use of capital than any other people or nation or em pire - Five million tons of salmon could have - been caught and harvested on this coast during this very month of August if there had been fishermen here to catch them and hands to dress and cure them. There are a million acres of land on Lulu Island and in the Delta of the Fraser river, as rich and as fruitful as the finest farm lands of Italy, Franceor Ireland. Fields that could produce delicious milk and but ter and fruits and vegetables and beef and pork and mutton and poultry, to feed more than a million people, but those very fields spread before the eyes of the dwellers on Shaughnessy Heights ure basking idle in the sun, while Mr. Hill's railways are busy haullnp vege tables and fruit and milk and butter from the United States to feed the peo ple of this city. Surely Mr. Home Payne is aware that shiploads of butter, beef and mutton are coming to this city from Australia, and carloads of pork products from Alberta, and eggs and poultry from Quebec, simply because there are not sufficient farmers hers to reclaim and cultivate the richest farm lands beneath the canopy of heaven. Keal Tanners Are Weeded. The Scandinavians, Slavs and Italians who are here are too busy hewing the forests and sawing logs and digging the mines to work the land. The Brit isher and American are too busy trad ing in merchandise or town lots to raise hogs and cheese and butter and pota toes. Britishers and Americans like to cultivate apple orchards and chicken ranches, fer such occupations afford lots of leisure for reading and tennis and conversation, or for speculation in town lots. But they are too refined and too well educated to be found plowing In the .fields at sunrise, or feeding the hogs, or milking the cows, or reaping the meadow, or the grain field in the glare of the noonday sun. All the genuine farming talent and clergy that the whole of Europe can spare Canada has room for. There are 50,000,000 acres of wheat land or pas ture land In the Mackenzie or its tribu tary valleys, which are without farm ers to till them or railroads toj bring them within reach of cultivation. There are forty million acres of the finest pasture and vegetable lands in British Columbia still a hundred or two hun dred miles or more away from trans portation. There are farmers in the Can adian northwest growing hogs' and grain who have to haul their produce 70 miles to a railroad. Horse and Sloney Going Yet. San Franclaco, Sept. 6. Andrew John son appealed to the police today, to ret back $355 he bet on an Imaginary horse named Going, In a race supposed to have been run at Vancouver, B. C, The bet was represented to Johnson as a sure thing, but the only thing he is sure of is that the stakeholder, who gave hi name Charles Williams, has "disap peared, money an all. " ' ' " "Sl iM.

Expert machinists are In charge. Part of this floor Is used as a garage. All of the machines owned bj the city have to be turned in at this shop each night and a check is made of the hour the automobile comes In. Big Saving Made. On the second floor Is located the storeroom or supplies used by the city. When finally In working order everything from a pin to a sprinkling wagon can be obtainable there. The room Is rapidly being stocked. The sav ing In this line alone is expected to amount to several thousands of dollars yearly, as goods heretofore purchased In small quantities will be bought in big: lots. t The building Is so situated that freight cars can be drawn right up to the doors and unloaded without trouble. According t'- Mr. Wood, there is to be a pla-c for everything and requisitions will be required for all supplies, material or work. Mr. Wood said ycterday that he es timated the savings through the use of the municipal building will amount to at least $100,000 yearly. DANGER OF FOREST 15 State Forester Elliott Says This Year's Damage Less Than in 1912. (Salem Bureau of The Journal.) Salem, Or., Kept. 6. Declaring that reports received from wardens In th field Indicate that the recent rains weru statewide in their scope, State Forester Elliott today gave It as his opinion that no fears need be entertained as to. any serious forest fires during ti:e remainder of the season. lie also stated that while the forest fires this season have been more nu merous than last year that they have been less destructive, the damage thin season to the timber being very small, while laBt season it mounted into thous ands of dollars. All of the fires this season, says the state forester, were put under control before they could do any damage. The fire fighting organization of the federal government, the state and th) timber companies were superior thin year, and to this, 'and the Increase! number of wardens in the field, he at tributes the small damage. There were about 160 more wardens In the field this year. PLENTY OF CARS FOR SHIPMENT OF CROPS (Salem Hureau of The Journal.) Salem. Or., Sept. 6. According to Railroad Commissioner Campbell, the danger period for a car shortage In the state has passed, and from now on ship pers will find It easier to get cars. All of the sugar beet crop in Cali fornia, says Commissioner Campbell, has been harvested and this will re lease for use in this state hundreds of cars. The. car shortage season becomes most serious in th , months of August and September, and a few complaints were received from shippers last month. These, however, were Inconsequent al when- considered with (hose received last year. With all these cars avail able from California no fears need now be entertained by shippers as to cars, says the commissioner. Montesano High Dedicated. (Sperlal to Tha Journal.)

Through clumsy Interpretation of 'the address of Dr. Joseph Kossuth Dixon, head of ths Rodman-Wanamaker expedition -to ' the American Indians, "says L. V.- Mo Whorter, the Tttklmas at Toppenlsh re fused to take part in the lag-raising ceremonies which are a feature of the visits of the members of the expedition to the various tribes. In explaining the purpose of the ex pedition and the erection of the monu ment at Fort Wordsworth In New York harbor, Abraham Lincoln, the Interpre ter, McWhorter says, laid emphaBts on the fact that the government is anxious that the Indians as soon as possible take up the duties of citizenship and pay taxes like the white people. The Indians," It seems, are not anxious to begin paying- taxes and want to wait the full .twenty years allowed by the treaty before accepting their patents. When one of the speakers said that If they did not take the oath of allegiance they need not look for. water for their reservation land, the chiefs resented the Implied threat" and walked away from the conference. followed by the more Influential Indians in the tribe. Mr. Mc Whorter, who has been adopted into the tribe and Is admitted to all their coun cils, says that, the Yaklmas are not disloyal, but are determined to stand upon - their Rights, and that the un pleasant occurrence came about through a misunderstanding.

Limit Membership to Active Letter. Carriers,, San rranclsco, Cal Bept. A.Post master Arthur O. Flsk of San Francisco expressed entire - sympathy with the aims and accomplishments of ths Na tional Association of Letter Carriers, In an address at the close, of the nineteenth biennial convention of the organization. He gave entire approval of the eight hour day for letter carriers, and de-w clared that it Is entirely practical arra violates none of the government's stand ards of economy. National President W. E. Kelly, in closing address, voiced deep- gratitude for the warm welcome extended by San Francisco to the visitors, and charac terised the convention Just closed as the most successful ever held by the letter carriers, N One of the most radical steps taken by the carriers was in the adoption of a provision submitted by the resolu tions committee that hereafter members who are not In active service may be denied a voice In the deliberations of the association If objection Is made. The motion waa bitterly' contested be fore it carried. In line with this policy, a resolution was adopted specifying that no supervising official of the postofflce ' department may become an active mem ber. The attitude of those who sup ported the resolution was that the rank and file shall in the future be composed only of members whose dally work brings them Into, sympathy with the objects of the organization.
