A NEMESIS ON THE COUNCIL Nemesis has overtaken those members of the council who in face of the clear warning of the News, sought by an illegal by-law to perpetuate themselves in office. A telegram from Victoria late last night brought the news that Premier McBride and the Executive Council, had been obliged to order the hydro-electric by-law back to the people for ratification, to enable the Legislature to pass special legis- lation to make this illegal by-law legal. The incident, frustrating the plans of Alderman Hilditch and the Mayor, and tieing up the waterworks sheme till next year, shows the value of intelligent newspaper criticism, as compared with the fawnings of a lickspittle press. It will be remembered that the Daily News opposed the by-law on the very ground upon which it is now declared illegel—namely, that it is against the provisions of Clause 75 of the Municipal Clauses Act to place two separate and distinct objects of expenditure in one money bylaw. The public will remember the contumely that was heaped on the Daily News when the Mayor and City Solicitor publicly assumed all responsibility for the legality of the by-law. The public will not forget either the offensive letter, ad- dressed to the editor of the News, which the City Solicitor caused to be printed in the city papers. We will not be so cruel now in the hour of his defeat as to reprint the letter of the City Solicitor. We merely point out the value of intelligent newspaper criticism. Had the City Solicitor or the council heeded it, it would have saved the city many hundreds of dollars, and have helped to get a water, electric light and power plant started. As it is, the City Solicitor and the council who brought him here from Victoria, have succeeded only in tying up the city’s finances and in delaying its need for waterworks and power. The city is out even the cost of advertising the by-law, the cost of holding an election, and the cost of the City Solicitor’s trip south to try and get the thing tinkered up. And the waterworks scheme, will be at a standstill until the Legislature meets some time next February. If the by-law is submitted again this year it will certainly be de’eated. A dying council will hardly have the audacity to send it to the people. If they do, the citizens will certainly—and without urging—defeat the by-law, preferring to wait a few weeks until a new council is in power fit to be entrusted with the “and—” “And say ‘Boo’ to naughty little girls who won't let me complete my diary,” shouted Brand. “Be off, both of you. Keep a lookout for the next ten min- utes. If you see any signals from the mainland, or catch sight of the Lance- lot, call me.” They climbed to the trimming stage of the lantern, which was level with the external gallery. Obedient to in- structions, they searched the Land's End and the wide reach of Mount’s Bay beyond Carn du. Save a scud- ding sail or two beating in from the Lizard and a couple of big steamers hurrying from the East—one a Trans- atlantic Transport liner from Lon- don—there was nothing visible. In the far distance the sea looked smooth enough, though they needed no ex- planation of the reality when they saw the irregular white patches glistening against the hull of a Penzance fishing- smack. “O, Connie, the reef!” suddenly, in a low voice. They glanced at the turbid retreat of the tide over the submerged rocks. The sea was heavier, the noise louder, now that they listened to it, than when they arrived in the Daisy, little more than an hour earlier. Some giant force seemed to be wrestling there, raging against its bonds, striving fev- erishly to tear, rend, utterly destroy its invisible fetters. Sometimes, after an unusually impetuous surge, a dark shape, trailing witch-tresses of weed, showed for an instant in the pit of the cauldron. Then a mad whiri of water would pounce on it with a fearsome spring and the fang of rock would be smothered ten feet deep. For some reason they did not talk. They were fascinated by the power, the grandeur, the untamed energy of the spectacle. The voice of the reef held them spellbound. They listened said Enid, mutely. Beneath, Brand wrote, with scholar- ly ease: “Therefore I decided that it would best serve the interests of the Board if I sent Bates and Jackson to Pen- zance in the boat in which my daugh- ter—” he paused an instant and add- ed an “s” to the word—“fortunately happened to visit me. As I would be alone on the rock, and the two girls might be helpful until the relief came, I retained them.” He glanced at the weather-glass in front of him and made a note: “Barometer falling. Temperature carrying out of these much needed utilities. The bungling mess that has markéd the start of the council’s work on the hydro-electric scheme stamps them as unfit to be further trusted. It was not as if they were not properly advised by the press. It is a Nemesis on those members of the council who have dealt out lavish ‘double rate pap’”’ to fawning sycophancy, and sought to work injury to the one newspaper that possessed intelligent infor- mation and the courage of its convictions. LUMBER CUT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA IN 1910 The rapid exploitation of lumber in British Columbia, is increasing yearly and almost made this province the equal of Ontario in point of lumber production during 1910. Statistics of the Dominion lumber cut for 1910, collected by the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior, state that one billion, six hundred and twenty million feet of lumber worth nearly twenty-five million dollars was cut in British Columbia in 1910. As a result. of greatly increased cutting in the fir and cedar forests, the total amount cut was more than doubled in one year. In 1909 the British Columbia cut constituted one-fifth of the total; in 1910 the proportion formed by the western province was one-third, and it lacked only forty-five million feet of surpassing the cut in Ontario. Seven important softwoods make up over 99 per cent of the cut in British Col- umbi—Douglas fir, cedar, western yellow pine, tamarack, spruce, hemlock and jack-pine. Nearly forty-five per cent of the total was made up by Douglas fir. This species was cut in 1910 to the extent of nearly seven hundred and twenty million feet and had the largest actual increase shown by any species—an increase of nearly two hundred and fifty million feet. Cedar composed one-fifth of the total and was the second wood in magnitude of cut. The three hundred and fifteen million feet of this species cut was an increase of two hundred and seventeen million feet over the 1909 prdduction. The cut of yellow pine, amounting to one hundred and eighty-three million feet, was nearly six times as much as the amount cut in 1909, and was sufficient to raise it from fourteenth to sixth place in importance among the lumber producing trees of Canada.

He whis- tled softly. “S. W.,” he wrote, and after a sec- ond’s thought, inserted the figure 6. The sailor's scale, ye landsman, dif- fers from yours.

No. 6 is a point above this limit, when a well-conditioned clipper ship can carry single reefs aad top gallant sails, in chase full and by. No. 12 is a hurricane. “Bare poles,” says the scale. Slowly mounting the tron ladder, he stood beside the silent watchers. The Bay wes nearly deserted. No sturdy tug-boat was pouring smoke from her funnel and staggering towards the rock, Northwest and west the dark- ness was spreading and lowering. He did not trouble to examine the reef. Its signs and tokens were too familiar to him. Its definite bellow or muttered threat was part of the prevailing influence of the hour oar day. He heard its voice too often ta find an omen in it now. “This time I must congratulate both of you,” he said quietly. “On what?” they cried in unison, shrill with unacknowledged excite ment “Ladies seldom, if ever, pass a night on a rock lighthouse. You will have that rare privilege.” Enid clapped her hands. “I am delighted,” she exclaimed. “Will there be a storm, father?’ asked Constance. “I think so. At any rate, only a mir; acle will enable the tug to reach us before to-morrow, and miracles are not frequent occurrences at sea.” “I know of one,” was Enid’s oom ment, with great seriousness for her, He read her thought. “I was younger then,” he smiled. “Now I am fifty, and the world has aged.” CHAPTER V. THE HURRICANE They descended into the service: room. “Let me see,” said Enid; “it will be nineteen years on the 22nd of next June, since you found me floating se- renely towards the Gulf Rock in a deserted boat?” “Yes, if you insist on accuracy as to the date, I might cavil at your serenity.” “And I was ‘estimated’ as a year old then? Isn't it a weird thing that a year-old baby should be sent adrift on the Atlantic {in an open boat and never ae word of inquiry made subsequently as to her fate? | fear | could not have been of much account in those days.” “My dear child, I have always told you that the boat had been in collision during the fog which had prevailed for several days previously. Those who were caring for you were prob- ably knocked overboard and drowned.” “But alone! Utterly alone! That ia the strangeness of it. I must be an American, Americans start out to hustle for themselves early in life, don't they.” “Certainly, in that respect you might claim the record.” Brand had not told her al! the facts of that memorable June morning. Why slould he? They were not plea- sant memories to him. Why cumber her also with them? For the rest he had drawn up and read to her, long @go, a carefully compiled account of her resoue and the steps taken to dis cover her identity. “I entered on an active and Useful gree, it is always so between loved yes lost and those who are left.

It looked like an aneroid barometer, but the others knew it was the marine auriscope to which he had devoted so many pa- tient hours. “Is it in working order now?” ask- ed Constance instantly, and Enid came nearer. Together they exam- ined the small dial. It was equipped with an arrow-headed pointer, and marked with the divisions of the com- pass but without the distinguishing letters. These three understood each other exactly. By inadvertence, the conver- sation had touched on a topic concern- ing which Brand was always either vague or silent.

A shrill steam whistle excites it, but the breaking of seas aboard ship, the loud flapping of & propeller, the noise of the engines, of a gale, or all those in combination, leave it unmoved.” “I remember once, when we were ng, Skog Falmouth to Porthalla in a fog, how dreadfully difficult it was to discover the whereabouts of another steamer we passed en route,” said his daughter. | “Well, with this little chap on the bridge, the pointer would have told the captain unerringly. I don't suppose it will be thick whilst you are here, or you would see it pick up the distant blasts of a steamer long before we can hear them, and follow her course right round the arc of her passage. It is most interesting to watch its activity when there are several ships using their sirens.

Mr. Lawton must have lent her to bring the rellef. How kind of him.” “The Lapwing cannot approach the rock,” said Brand. ‘I will signal ‘Land- ing impossible to-day.’ It will save them a useless journey,” He selected the requisite flags from a locker, the phrase he needed being coded, Soon the strong breeze was trying to tear the bunting from the cordage, and though they could not hear the three whistles with which the little yacht acknowledged the sig- nal, they could easily see the jets of steam through their glasses, event, you and sound Constance happened to overlook the next tide.” “All right,” waved Brand.

Little hope for to-night. Lancelot due at Bix. Will see personally that no chance is lost. Good-bye.” “Good-bye,” was the response. The Lapwing fell away astern from the vicinity of the buoy. “Why is he doing that?” asked Con- stance, close to her father’s ear. “He is too good a sailor to risk turning her in that broken water. A little farther out there is greater depth and more regular seas, They watrhed the yacht in silence, At last her head swung round toward the coast. When broadside on, a wave hit her, and the spray leaped over her masts. “That gave them a wetting,” cried Brand, and his calm tone stilled their ready fear. Indeed, there was greater danger than he wanted them to know, But the Lapwing reappeared, shaking herself, and still turning. ' “Good little boat!” said Brand. The crisis had passed. She was headed, at full speed, for the Bay. And not too soon. ‘Ere she reached the compara: tive shelter of Clement's Island she was swept three times by green wa: ter. ‘ Inside the lantern, their faces ruddy | with the exposure, their eyes dancing with excitement, the girls were volu- ble with delight. Could anything be more thrilling than their experiences that day! “That semaphore dodge is too pre cious to be lost,” erled Enid. “Connie, you and I must learn the alphabet, You shall teach us this very evening, dad. Fancy me signaling you the whole length of the Promenade: ‘Just look at Mrs. Wilson's bonnet,’ or “Here come the Taylor-Smiths. Scoot!’ Oh, it’s fine.” She whirled her arms in stiff-jointed rigidity and mimicked Stanhope's fantastic posing. “Why should you scoot when yo meet the Taylor-Smiths?” aske Brand, “Because Mrs, T.-8. hauls us off tea and gives us a gallon of gossi with every cup.” “I thought your sex regarded gossip as the cream?” “Sex, indeed! than his wife.
