VANCOUVER'S TUNNEL.

The Vancouver Povrer Company has

been tunnelingto obtain water-power wherewith to generate electricity that is to operate the street can-i and the lighting plant of the city. lt was found desirable to connect the waters of lakes

Beautiful and Coquitlainlritlieinountalns, that their united flow in one fall lo the sea level far below might furnish the power' required. llviwven the two lakes ir inountaiiirose11150 feet in heiglitund o\'ert\\‘oinilus in l»r~i-inllli at the elev~

iitlon where the 'l`iiui\el has been excavat- ed. The eoiitriii-tors, .\Iessrs Ironsldei~x&

Runlie, set to \\'oi'k i|i~i\riy two years ago, cinployiii;_' iluy uiifl night shifts of

necessity as ours ls. It would have been easy to light the city and operate its street cars by power derived from coal, which is abundant in British Columl»ia.The Tunnel

was built because it will pay the company

that has built lt.

To what we have already printed in re gard to the famous Sirnpion Tunnel ltnniy lu- added that Francis Fox ofthe British engineering firm of Sir Douglas Fox and

l’iirtn<-r.~i was one of theeonsulting engin- eers for this great work and was named by the (lovernnicnt of Great Ilritaln at the request of the Swiss Governinent. It will

be remembered that Sir Douglas Fox re-

ported to the Dominion Government on the projected Island Tunnel. \Vhat is not

i~x|iei'ienui-il inlner.\, and recently lliotwo giiiigs inet in the heart of the mountain. \\'itl|in two weeks we are

told the Tunnel will be formally opened

\'aneoii\~er is but of yesterday in point

of age but u local corporation them has

undertaken and carried to completion this important work. If t0 light one mediiiin sized city ii two mile tunnel can ia- Iiorcil through ri mountain in less than

t\\'o years it should not be thought a great task forthe big Dominion to construct a Tunnel of sevi-ii or eight miles in order to connect two I’rovinees. Hear in mind al- so that the Vancouver- Tunnel was not ii

gi-neri|'ly known is that the Simpion is ii double Tunnel; the two galleries being 52 feet apart, and both designed for railway tracks, although but one will he immed-

gallerlcs through the mountain have a

total length of almost 25 niiles,j2§ each, and yet the total cost was within $15,000, U00. This work encountered the most ex-

traordinary difficulties, and yet the

cost. of the borings was but $000,000 per mile of the total length.

It takes years of exper

ience to find the best hat

for gentlemen.-If you will notice that one year a certain hat was sold as the best hat in the city, another year its on the bargain counter and another hat takes it’s place and of course IT'S THE BEST in town. Next year another bluff will probably be worked on you. Perhaps after 25 years of this kind of hat business you will all come to know what we knew 20 years ago that there is

Only One Best

Hat in Town

and that is the Christy. _22 years we have sold

them and never yet heard a man say his did not wear well and give him perfect satisfaction. - Most hatters around town are now just where

we were zo years ago in the hat business.

We have over 5ooo of the Proven 'Best Hats on

earth _to show you now-no guessing about what hat will be best next year for Christy is always the

best: Sold on merit.
