WESTWARD HO i Vancouver is the weetorn terminus the Canadian Paciflo Railway, Ten years ago its alto was covered with ab primeval forest. In May of 1886, tit building of the city began, and building rapidity. Buwildinnt gn andtth clear ngvolloue oper. attone went on together. Fires were raging "everywhere on the pito of the tom. ing city for the purpoeo of clearing the land to maim room for private houses and business blooke. In July of the game year flee from the burning log piles wee carried by the wind to adjacent buildings and a most djsaetrous conflagration be- gen, and in the absence of any .fire pro- teotion, the flames leaped from one build- ing to another until the whole oity was laid in asbee, save and except ono email "shack." The buildings wore all con- struoted of wood, and therefore alto work of destruction was rapid and complete. Phoenix -like Vancouver rose from its ashes, turning what seemed to be its de- struction to be the beginning of greater progress and prosperity. Drawing about them the singed robes of their disaster the pioneers went to work with that in- domitable energy and pink which char- acterize them everywhere, to erect a new oily upon the ashes of the old. Stone and brick took the place • of wood, to a large extent, and the new oity went on in leaps and bounds till today it is a marvel of growth and beauty. The oity now contains a population' of 20,000 people, and possesses . magnificent busi- ness blocks, beautiful private residences, large and handsome churches, immense and elaborately equipped hotels, splendid municipal -buildings, miles of asphalted streets and granolithio pavements. The city has an electric system of railways in full operation, with every necessary. equipment, The city is lighted both with electricity and gas. When we consider that all this has been accomplished in nine years we are constrained to ask the question. Who can rival the Vancouver- ites in "Goaheadedness" 7 Vancouver is situated upon beautiful rising ground, on the south side of Burrard inlet, and on the north of English bay. Its elevated position above the surface of those: waters gives splendid facilities for 'diiinage, and therefore a clean, healthy city is the result. Vancouver, .is experiencing this year, as other cities do, the effects of the general depression of trade and commerce, as well as the discounting effects of the "boom" and the present "lull" in mining operations. ' Vancouver is the "Gateway" through which the trade from the east and the west passes. It has direct com- munication by the magnificent and lux- urious steamers of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company with China and Japan. There is also a line of steamers plying between this city and the Sandwich Islands, New Zealand and Australia. There are also beautiful steamers plying between this port and Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, San Francisco and other points on the Pacific coast. The east and west bound trade carried upon those lines of steamers largely pees through the port of Vancouver, which necessarily centres there a large amount of business. All around Burrard inlet are immense saw mills, nutting lumber for Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand and even Africa, and along the wharves ars seen Drafts of every description loaded and being loaded with lumber destined for those countries. From the balconies of one of the large hotels a magnificent view of the city and surrounding country was obtained. .Looking to the north we see Burrard in- let, the wharves'and the 0. P. R. station houses. At the wharves are many ves- sels loading and unloading their cargoes and the C. P. R. trains receiviug.bhe teas, seal skins, &o., of which those cargoes are composed, to convey them to their destination in the eastern markets. Down the inlet can be seen numerous saw mills, the busy ham of which is al- most audible where we stand. On the opposite shore of the Inleb are seen sev- eral villages nestling in the shadows of the snow-capped Cascada Mountains, which mirror themselves in the placid waters below. Looking to the west we see the Gulf of Georgia, and far away in the distance the blue liue of the mount- ains ount ains of Vancouver Island. Looking east ward we see the broad and fertile valley of the Fraser river, terminating at Naw Westminster, about ten miles away and the smoke of the canning factories is seen ourhng slowly upward. Beyond we see the Olympanio range of mountains, and still further in the distance we behold' a solitary peals rise above all the rest and pierce the deeds above. This is Mount Baker, in Washington Territory, -fifty miles away, whose eternally snow -clad summit rites 14.000 feet above its base. British Columbia expects a bright and prosperous future, and her vast ;natural resources of minerals, timber and fish, as. well as her fertile valleys, her beautiful climate, her numerous and safe harbors, andwith all the progressive energy, push and pluck of her people, should be a suf- ficient guarantee of a complete realization oflher most sanguine expectations. If we desire to develop a young man to the highest attainments possible, ;we must ascertain the strongest lines in his physi. cal and mental character. . We must thou nialte everything in his education subservient to' the development of his greatest natural capabilities. Upon the same principle, a new comttry must be developed in order to reach the highest possible condition of prosperity. British olumbia has immense natural gifts, Her resources of wealth are both numer- ous and abundant. Those resouroee must be developed to be of any advantage to her, just as the talents of the boy must be educated to be of advantage to him, Natural re- sources of wealth are only advantageous to a country in so far as they are put in- to the form of articles of utility for the people. All the coal, iron, gold or' silver of British Columbia are of no value to her people so long as theeoremain buried in the earth, and all hoe fish and timber will not add one dollar to her wealth while the firth are allowed 4o swim in the waters of the Pacifio and the timber to clothe the shoulders of the "Selltirks." of 0 e, I The above statements are simply truisms to which everyone will give consent. It is therefore plain titab Bribieb Columbia's future prosperity depends almost entire- ly upon the developemenb of her three great sources of wealth, viz.: The mine, the Oso and the foreeb. It must be die - Meetly understood that those are not wealth, but sources of wealth, and to ohange the former into the latter, not only oapital and enterprise is required but a wise and judicious trade policy, Not a polioy wonted in the interests of party, but one instituted in the tuterest of the Province.

After Phillips fired two shots he, remark- ed "I will finish you this time" and then turned to go. Mr. Cruikshank then said "I guess you have finished me," where- upon Phillips fired the third shot. The first bullets struck Mr. Cruikshank in the neck, fracturing the windpipe; the second.oue fractured his right cheek bone, while the third fractured the right band between the thumb and fore linger. About ten minutes later H. F. Holland, another lawyer, galled on Mr. Cruik- shank and found him in a leaning posi- tion in his chair, apparently stunned. The injured'man'lnanaged to make him understand what had transpired and who had perpetrated the deed. Mr. Holland immediately secured surgical aid and notified the police. ' The motive for which the shooting took place is as follows : Mr. Cruikshank had been conducting a ease in the Divi. sion. Court against Phillips relating to a lot of land which Cruikshank's client claimed he had paid for and not received any deed ; this property adjoined Mr. Phillips' property. The case was decided against Mr. Phillips in the Court last week, whereupon he entered Mr. Cruik shank's office and is said to have used abusive language to Mr. Oruikshank. Mr. Cruikshankat onceentered notion for $10,000 for slander against Mr. Phil. lips. This so enraged Mr. Phillips that he committed the deed already described., Phillips, after using his revolver on Mr. Crutkshauk, hurriedly left the lat- tar's office and it is supposed went straight to St. Peter's cemetery, where he put an end to his own existence, and was found the next day lying on his daughter's grave. Phillips was an old resident of Cobourg and was about 55 years of age. Mr. Cruikshank suooumded to his in- juries Thursday evening. John Young Cruilrphauk was a brother to William and George Cruikshank, well- known Turnberry farmers. In politics. he was a Conservative ; he was a mem. bee of the A. 0. F;, unmarried, and. about 38 years of ago. He had been practicing law in Cobourg for about 12 years, and was highly respected by every one who knew him. George and William Cruikshank went to Cobourg to pay their last respects to the memory of their beloved brother, who had mot with such an untimely end. The Austin regatta concluded last week.

COtnHTTED TO GODERI08 JAIL. -Last week May Gibson arrived home from Sandwich, Essex County, and Sunday morning was found on Turnberry street in an intoxicated condition and was placed under arrest. Monday she was sent by the Reeve and A. Hunter to Gode- riob jail for a month. As she was out on suspended sentence from a previous charge laid before Judge Doyle, it is ex- pected that he will sentence her to a lengthy term in the Mercer Reformatory, Toronto, in the hope of reolaimiug her from the downward path, as she is be- yond the control of relatives or friends. There are a few men and boys in Brus- sels who should be brought to book for aiding her in her fall. The Windsor Record of last week says :-"On Satur- day Office Masters found a young girl aged 18 wandering about the street in Sandwich, and on inquiry found it was May Gibson, of Brussels, Ont. She was hungry, tired and homeless and Mr. Diasters took her in charge till Monday, when Magistrate Bartlet provided her a tioket to take her home and a small amount of cash. She said she bad work- ed far Dr. Dewar, but was out of a situ- ation and looking for work. She did not want to go home, as a step -mother rules the roost there. but there was no other course for her." The last sentence is far from correct, as her father is a widower and says he is anxious for 'her to stay home if she'd behave herself. Tna funeral of the late William Reddisk,on Thursday afternoon of last week, was very largely attended, about 100 Odd Fellows and 14faooabees being in the line of march. The town Band head- ed the procession after the service was over at the house and to the doleful strains of The Dead March in Saul and the tolling of the town bell the long eon - course wended its way to the oemetery. On arrival there the usual burial service was conducted by Rev. G. H. Oobbledick, after which Noble Grand Wilson and Chaplain Strachan read the beautiful words from the Odd Fellows' ritual and Bro. MoGowan performed like duty for the Maccabees. While a memorial ode was being sung the brethren filed around the grave and deposited their sprigs of evergreen. The Band played "Safe in the arms of Jesus" and after the grave was filled in the prooeesion re-formed and marched back to town dispersing to the strains of the well played "Roaring Lion." One of the nicest and yet path- oatfopart of the funeral was the appear- nnee of 16 boyo with soldier caps and swords in the prooessiou. These boys were members of the Methodist Sabbath school and several of them in Mr. Red- d -la's class. They had been drilled by Ehe deceased for several weeks and gave an interesting exhibition of various movements and sword exercises last Easter. lin. Roddick was often called. "Colonel" from the active interest ho took in military affairs in connection with the 33rd battalion. His business will be continued by his late partner, Walter Wake, who is a moat reliable and euergetia young man.
