I uliccnseU Liqnor Milling,

It is said that there are a number of sa­loons Or other places in this village where Strong or malt liquors are regularly sold without license. We have previously made the point in these columns that the town or other authorities who take money for licenses for selling liquor are morally if not legally bound to protect these licen­sees by taking all possible measures to prevent other parties in. the same jurisdic­tion from selling without license. We chink tbat every fair minded man will eoncede that this point is well taken.

It is clearly an act of injustice for authorities to exact a fee from A for en­gaging in a traffic which B is allow­ed to prosecute without the payment of such fee. The private individual who engaged in such a transaction would be liable to prosecution for obtaining money under false pretenses, for the fact that money is charged to A for license un­doubtedly must carry along with it the reasonable expectation that the payment of such fee must entitle A to such pro­tection.

Why then are these few suffered to pur­sue this traffic unmolested iu Piattsburgh? The question is one W-hich every law abid­ing citizen has a right to ask, and most certainly every man who has paid bis license fee to sell strong drink has a right to ask it and to demand an answer from the town authorities who evicted the li­cense fee. The sufferance of this condition of affairs tends to bring our authorities into public contempt, and to make tbe whole business of granting licenses afarce. Tbis is a serious matter which should be well considered. A few days ago a drunken man, on account being drunk, was crushed to death under a railroad train a short distance south of this vilhge, and the evidence on the Coroner's inquest showed that be bought the liquor with which he got his last drunk at unlicensed saloons in his village. It is a serious question whether the skirts of our town authorities are not stained with that man's blood.

How about our local temperance or­ganizations? Have they no responsibility in this matter ? The law is strict enough. All needed is its enforcement. A small guarantee fund would insure vigorous prosecution and stop this outlawry. Faith without works is dead, and temperance prayers and temperance exhortations, and temperance sermons, and temperance es-sa_\ s are of little more use than blossoms unless they mature into fruit.

The better elements of Piattsburgh society, combined with the help of our liquor licensees—now numbering about one for every two hundred of our popula­tion, certainly ought to be able to Wipe out tbis standing disgrace, not only in Piattsburgh but in every town which is now blackened by it.

Since writing the above we learn that four arrests have been made by our au­thorities of parties for selling liquor with­out license, and that a fine of $50 was imposed in each case by the Recorder. This is a good work well begun and it is hoped tbat it will go on as long as tbe necessity for it shall exist.

Plans of the Piattsburgh Land Con* pany.

Tbe organization of the Piattsburgh Land Company of which we had a notice last week is one of the most important transactions in real estate ever consumma­ted in this village, and it offers a fine op­portunity for securing comfortable homes in a desirable location. As our readers al­ready know, the twenty-four acres includ­ed in this purchase comprises what bas been known as the Palmer lot which lies near the fair ground, being bounded on tbe east by Oak street, and on the south by Elm street. The whole tract lies on a gentle inclination to the east, and will drain readily and it is so smooth tbat no extra expense will be required for grad­ing. Three streets will run through it noitli ai.d south, an extension of Cather­ine street near the center, called Lynde street, an extension of St. Charles on the south, and Palmer street on the north, both being parellel with Catherine street, while Stetson avenue will intersect tbe three streets at rigbt angles. This will divide the tract into 116 lots most of them 60 by 150 feet, while none will be less than 50 feet front. The prices of lots will range from $250 to $850 each according to lo­cation, the most valuable ones fronting lo tbe eastward on Oak street and south­ward on Elm, only the corner lots being rated at 8850 and others adjoining at $750. The soil is excellent and good gar­dens and pleasant grounds can be made at a moderate outlay. This move is one in the right direction as indicating the confidence of our enterprising business men in P i t t sburgh ' s future, and also in opening up one of the most desirable parts of our pleasant village for residen­ces.

L-NW«f Lift* aad Pispsiiy. Last Tuesday was one of tbe most op-

pressivly warm days of the season, tbe thermometer indicating a temperature of 0OD in tbe shade at 2 p. m. Tbe shy had been nearly cloudless until afternoon when thunder clouds began to gather in the west and soon after four o'clock they rolled up in black masses and suddenly a fearful tempest of thunder, lightning, wind and rain swept down from Rand

I Hill, the centre of the storm apparently striking this village. The wind was very violent, and many shade trees were torn up by their roots, broken off,, or stripped

1 of their branches, but beyond this tbe -damage was not serious, except in partic-

! ular cases. The following arc the princL Dal casualties.

1 T H R U MIX DROWXKD.

At Windmill Point, opposite Rouses Point, the steam yacht Nellie, was capsized and three men were drowned, Capt. George Clark, and his son, and the engineer, named Hill. The yacht was engaged by ice contractors and was towing a barge-. There w*te four persons on board, the other being saved by a rope thrown from the barge.

MAS DBOWKXD AT Bi.CFF POIXT.

A servant of one of tbe guests at Hotel Champlain, was fishing between Valcour Island and tbe Mew York shore when the storm struck. His boat was swamped and he was drowned. Hotel Champlain re­ceived the full force of the tempest and a small quantity of window glass on tbe west side was hioken, letting the rain drive in, doing slight damage. Many fine trees were also blown down, and two ladies going from the president's cot­tage to the hotel west taken up bodily by the wind and carried some distance^ but fortunately escaped without serious injury.

A OCOSX CALL FOK TWO BOYS.

The storm was very heavy on Cumber­land Head. A barn owned by D. M. Ford-bam was demolished and also one of Brown & Co's ice bouses, leaving tbe ice exposed. Two boys, Walter Hagar of Cum­berland Head, son of Luther Hagar, and Maurice, son of Charles L. Knapp of Mooers we re sailing east of Cumberland Head. The storm capsized their boat and they were reported to be drowned, but they pluckily clung to the wreck until it was blown ashore on Grand Isle, and re­turned safely in the evening. Tbe escape was a narrow one and almost miraculous, considering the tremendous force of the waves which washed over them. The steamers on tbe lake had a very rough time of it, the Maquam catching the tem­pest in the Gut, and the Vermont between Burlington and Port Kent, but both came through safely.

AXOTHKB OtOSI 8HATE.

Mr J. D; Wilkinson of tbis village was trolling between tbe breakwater and the ore dock when the storm burst upon him with such fury' tbat he found it was im­possible to gain the shore, and he put to sea, pulling his small boat with all tbe force which his good muscle could com-mandrunning with great speed directly be­fore the wind. The water was fairly boiline; and seething with foam and spray, and the chances seemed a hundred to -one against his ever coming back alive, but the wise plan be adopted and carried out with bis proverbial coolneer brought aim through and be reached tbe breakwater unaided as tbe storm subsided.

Caleb Wing's barn this side of Bluff Point was blown down, and a house south of the XT. S. Barracks was unroofed.

The weather vane of tbe M. E . Church was blown down. The spire of the First Presbyterian church vibrated considera­ble, and tbe broken lightning rod stood straight out at right angles under the ter­rible force of the wind but it stood firmly.

The glass in tbe door of Smith 4 La Rocqut's drug store was demolished and many awnings suffered.

The Chateaugay R. R. train encounter­ed a tree fallen across tbe track on Plum-adore Hill and a distressing calamity was just escaped by tbe cool and prompt action of Engineer Tolman.

The roof of Mrs. Graham Walworth's barn on Rugar street Was unroofed, and Mrs Walworth's brother Wm. G. Ryan bad his leg broken by the falling timbers while trying to get his horse under cover. One of the Cumberland House chimneys was blown down and many scuttles, and other movable property carried away.

Great havoc was wrought among the handsome pine grove on the government boulevard, near the barracks, over eighty large trees being uprooted or broken.

At Hotel Champlain, Messrs G. H. A C. F. Hudson were placing a Hallet and Davis Grand piano when the storm burst and the heavy case was taken up like a feather and carried into the woods, with one of the piano legs inside, and their two teams were only saved from being blown away by coming in contact with the trees.

At Rouses Point several of tbe fine large trees along the tbe main street were blown down, and the Windsor House fleet of pleasure boats went adrift but were all recovered. The engine house and der­rick on tbe breakwater were also blown into the lake.

Many buildings in process of erection in Piattsburgh were prostrated.

The M. E. Church atSaranae was struck by lightning and considerably damaged.

Tbe large barn of Micbeal Beban on the Zeph. C. Piatt farm Was Mown down, l a d a number fruit trees destroyed.

W. 8. Ayers, on the Beekmantown toad lost 90 apple trees.

EDITORIAL 50TES.

Pngrt Soand...Taac*aTer aad Victoria. After threading one's way through s i i

hundred miles of mountain passes, crcv-ices,tunne]«, gorges and valleys tbe change to a country overflowing with luxuriant vegetation of all kinds, and with an at­mosphere laden with the odor of flowers mingled with a taste of sea air is a very pleasant One.

The reader of these notes has seen how, at Medicine Hat, and at Calgary, eight hundred miles eastward across the moun­tains from tbe Pacihc waters near the foot hills of the Rocky Range some mysterious influence had been at work,crowding veg­etation forward, and transforming the climate of latitude 51° and morc,north,into that of 45°, or less. They told me at Cal-gary that it was the Chinook winds that effected tbe miracle—pushing the climate of tbe Champlain valley four hundred miles towards the north pole, and when I asked them how it was possible tbat winds could blow across five hundred miles of mountains capped with everlasting snow and ribbed with glacial ice without being robbed of tbeir heat, they simply pointed to tbe fields of waving grain, their fat cat* tie, and blooming gardens. That some mysterious influence was at work was evident enough, and as I passed over one mountain range after another the gradu­ally increasing size of the trees, the for­ward vegetation of the little valleys which we ran through, and the green mountain •lopes reaching well up towards the sum­mits all gave evidence of the same influ­ence. Oa the Columbia Hirer, at Revel-stoke, on the 12th of June, in latitude 51° and some minutes, and at an altitude of 1,475 feet above the sea, making it equiv­alent to a latitude of nearly or quite 52°. I found timothy grass well headed oUt, and red clover and potatoes in blossom. The first sign of business was that of steam saw mills and we passed through great forests of Douglas fir; spruce and hem­lock—the fir predominating, it being, as a carpenter told me who had bad long ex­perience in working it, a "cross between hemlock and pine." It is much used for flooring, and for joists, timbers, etc. Tbe size of the forest trees as well as the strength of all kinds of vegetation in­creases as We go westward and when finally, after the track passes through the wild canyon of the Fraser, cut into a shelf of solid ledge, 200 feet above the roaring current, plunging through many tunnels, four being in sight at one point, i t emerges into a widening valley and the traveler finds himself in a new world, well culti­vated fields and luxuriant vegetation stretching away to the foot hills on either band.

For hundreds of miles back the passen­gers have been an almost unbroken family circle, local travel being very light, but after reaching these fertile valleys all this was changed, and passengers came flock­ing upon the train at every station. I was on the lookout for inhabitants of this new world and presently by rare good luck, of tbe kind which followed me "all my journey through," I fell ia with one Dr. Brown of New Westminster, B. C , who formerly lived at Dunham, P. Q., and taught school in St. Johns some years ago. Dr. Brown bas lived some years here and acquired a handsome property and from him I got the first verbal news of tbe new world. He told me fabulous stones of the country—of a parsnip ex­hibited at tbe fair last fall which was six feet long, and juicy as batter, throughout X suppose T looked incredulous for he im­mediately added: "My wife Was one of the judges, and she never told a lie." The story of an apple weighing 39 ounces fol­lowed, and when I reminded him that this was only three ounces short of two pounds he said he knew it, and tbat apples and pears weighing over two pounds each were no novelty at all, and cabbages weighing 60 pounds each wrre exhibited at the fair last fall. Dr. Brown showed me a photograph of a twig from a cherry tree, four inches lone, which bore 87 cher­ries, and told of another 2} inches long, with 55 cherries. He also mentioned a balsam tree with only twenty-eight annular rings, but which was 83J inches in diam­eter—a tree twenty-eight years old and lacking only half an inch of beinc two feet in diameter. Here is a sample farm of which he told me; tbat J. C. Calhoun, at Sadler's Landing on tbe Fraser river, below New Westminster: 500 acres under cultivation, in wheat, oats and barley; his averages last year being 50 bushels of wheat to tbe acre; 90 bushels of oats and 72 bushels of barley. Another: Angus Ferguson came here from Nova Scotia seven years ago with only 9300, leas tbe price of his railroad fare. He "home-steaded" 160 acres on Pitt Lake and is now worth $13,000. This was told me by his sister Mrs. Alexander of New West­minster whom I saw on the train. She bad just come from her brother's faim and bad a fine basket of ripe strawberries (June 12). She said they had commenced to ripen, May 24th. They bad new pota­toes (June I2ib) for dinner. Land is very valuable, only a small proportion being arable. While the train waited Dr. Brown went out and cut on elder bush of tbis year's growth, three quarters of an inch in diameter, ty feet high and with leaves 9 inches long.

I left the main train at Westminster Junction and went down to New West­minster, 18 nsiles, a prosperous town on the Fraser. There I aaw some floe gardens—one of five acres filled with rip­ening strawberries, currants, pears, ap­ples, grapes, etc. Here all vegetation grows to mammoth sixe. As a sample I picked a maple leaf from J>r. Brown's grounds that saeaaared IS inches across. Sainton catchiac was not at its height it beieg between the Iret aad seeoad "runs" but we rowed e a s e s the swift current of the Frassr and easr one caught, weighing aboatlS poende. They catch them ia floatlaggM nets some SB feet wide aad bamerede of feet kmg. paying license for taw privilege.

Vancouver I found to be a busy city of 15,000 inhabitants located on Puget Sound a few miles »bo»-e the mouth of Frazer River, on a peninsula between Burrard Inlfet and False Creek, another arm of the sea. Burrard Inlet affords a fine harbor of sufficient depth of water for the largest ocean vessels, it being over a mile wide opposite the city. Vancouver was created by the Canadian Pacific Rail­way, being its western terminus. The first train ran through from Montreal in May, 1887, and the same year a line of ocean steamers was started by the C. P. Co., between Vancouver and China and Japan and they have been running ever since. Four years ago the site of the city was covered with a forest of huge trees, only one street being cleared of timber. I J June, 1SS6, the town was burned but the work of rebuilding was immediately commenced and to-day great stone and brick blocks grace the streets, and the foundations of a large city are securely laid—a great western port of entry for the Dominion of Canada. A large vessel just from China, the Parthia, lay at the wharf, from which had been discharged her cargo of 2,800 tons of tea- and a large qnantity Of s i l k , a n d i t w a s b e i n g l a d e n , m a i n l y

With COtton for the return trip. A fine park of 960 acres has been laid

out; a plentiful supply of pure water comes from the mountains across the harbor, two electric light plants arc established; paid fire depaitmcnt; electric street car lines, etc. Business lots on the best streets command from $250 to #500 per front foot, and at Mt. Pleasant, where electric street cars will soon be running good lots for residences, 50x122 feet, can be bought from S350 to *500. Building lots on the Eaglish Bay section 33x120 feet could be bought on the 14th of June at #100 each. These are two miles from the post office and, an electric car line is already pro." jected there. Dressed lumber in Van­couver is worth from S17.50 to $22.50 per thousand; scantling and ordinary lumber 910 per thousand; cedar shingles 93 per thousand; common labor 92.00 per day; carpenters 93.00 per day; plasterers and bricklayers 95.00; per day of S hours; painters 93.00. Chinese are only employed as house servants, at 920 to 930 per month. Clothing, provisions, groceries, etc., are about the same as east. Taxes are about 1 per cent, assessments being made at one-half the market value. A poll tax of $3 on rich and poor alike, goes for support of schools. This is the entire tax, the city doing its own street opening and grading without assessments on adjacent property. It is expected that the Northern Pacific company will have a railroad running to Vancouver within a year, crossing the Fraser River at New Westminster. Gran­ite.and sandstone are quarried near by— both good building stone. Sample house in Vancouver: near tbe centre of the town 25x50 feet, two storeys, 4 rooms above; cost 92,850, and rant* for 930 per month. Rate of interest 8 per cent oa deferred payments on real estate with bond and mortgage security are the terms allowed by tbe city government, which owns much real estate. Business men say Vancouver has never had a "boom," aad wants none, its growth being steady and on a healthy basis. The "Vancouver" is a fine large hotel, owned by tbe Canadian Pacific Railway company And standing on "Zion's Hill" (so called on account of many churches) with apacioas grounds around i t Good schools are established and all tbe elements are present for a prosperous town and a pleasant One to live in. The tide reaches s mixinam

height of 14 feet; mean height about eight feet The mountain views are fine, snowy paaks towering up in the distance, and tbeir foot bills reaching down to the wa­ter's edge.

At Vancouver I took a steamer for Vic­toria, about sixty miles south, the course winding in and out among wooded islands and shores nearly tbe whole distance. Victoria is the capital of the province of British Columbia and U situated on the southeastern extremity of Vancouver Island. It is finely located on undulating ground about an irregular indentation from the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the near­est mainland being 20 miles southward, Port Angeles in tbe State of Washington, the nearest Canadian mainland being about 60 miles northeastward. Victoria has a population of 22,000, according to a recent estimate of the city assessors, and stands in the fifth rank among the ports of Canada, its exports for 1839 amounting to 941,033,015, of which over one-half was from the fishjriej and abiut half a million dollars from gold mines, and 9334,924 from furs. Victoria was found­ed in 1843 by tbe Hudson Bay Company and named after England's youag queen who bad a few years before ascended the throne. Ths Fraser River g»l-l feViir of 1853 caused the place to* spring at once into great commercial activity aad ia that year it is said that 30,009 miners wintered in and about the city. A large amount of wealth is concentrated hew, over 31,000,-000 having been invested in buildings lass yea?, and it is pre-eminently a place which abouad-t in p'.euint, comfortable homes-It is also the s e n of important iron and oth­er manufactures, and there is an unfailing supply of coal at NanUmo,40 miles north. Turee and one-halt miles away is Esqui­mau (pronounced 'Squiinalt) where a na­val station was located by the British Ad­miralty many years ago. Here i3 a fine large barbor,oaval hospital, and a dry dock which cost 9900,000, with capacity suffici­ent for tbe largest war or merchant vessels. The Provincial buildings are located here, including Legislative, balls, offices, etc., and a fine museum of natural bistorv.

Tbe town has a huge sprinkling of Chi­nese—probably about 4,090—the Chinese quarters, occupying some of the most de-eujeble portions of. the city. They have the reputation of being tolerably peace­able, seldom getting into the police courts, and keeping, their quarrels to them­selves. They are utterly selfish and it is stated for a fact by those who ought to know that no Chinese cripples are ever seen, and rarely an invalid, and that it is their practice to "remove" such, which they might probably do without much danger of detection, as their features are all so nearly alike as to make it about as difficult to individualize them as it would he e flock of sheep. They are stiJ to he faithful workers aad learn readily to do

is required of them, without to ha aseaial character, and they "strike." They are largely en. to •sreenlils paraeiu aad arc said

There is creat and jealous rivalry between Victoria and Van­couver, both hoping to secure the prize as a port of entry, and it h amusing to hear them chargeback anel forth,weather which IS tOO hot Or COld; too dry or wet . as: "this

is Vancouver weather," or ' this is Vic­toria weather:" and people passing from one city to the other arc frequently warn­ed "not to believe half they tell you out there." Which will get the prize as tbe great Canadian mart ot foreign commerce with the old world, just across the Pacific? I think it will be Vancouver, and tbat Victoria will always remain what it is now, one of the pleasautest towns to live in on the coast, or inland shores of the Pacific.

The lowest temperature recorded at Esquimau near Victoria, during thTCe years' observations was 83 in January, 1875;18.53in January, 1876, and 22D in January, 1874, and the highest tempera­ture in the same years was S5.73 in April, 1874; 76.93 in July and August, 1875; and 83.9° in June, 1876. The total rainfall was 17.65 inches for 1874; 33.43 inches for 1875, and 23.30 inches for 187C.

At New Westminter, where the climate doc3 not probably vary much from that of Vancouver observations for seven years —from 1874 to 1880 show the lowest tem­perature to have been 7' and the highest 92°, the mean temperature of January being 34.3°; of April 47.9°; of June 5S3; or July 63.3s; of August 60.2°; of September 39.5°; of December 35.S". The greatest yearly rainfall for the seven years was 69.15 inches, and the least 49.43 inches; mean rainfall for the seven years 51.2.

The tornado struck Schuyler Falls with terrifle force on the 8th about 4 o'clock, up­rooting shade and fruit trees , tearing down fene»s. wrecking buildings, and doing sun­dry other very uncanny things. Tbe store otA. s. Arthur was unroofed and about ^ of the roof of bis house adjoining was carried away. Tbe town ball was earned backward several feet, and totally wrecked, though left standing. Ed Bobbs the miller lost the roof of bis kitchen, while the sheds at the grist mill and starch factory were tipped over. Or. Barnes lost a chimney from his house, and the beirry of the Methodist: church suflVvd some damage. The greatest destruction of shads and fruit trees occurred with L . B. Weaver and Cyrus Kelts, though J. D . Everest, Ed Bartlett and the Methodist parsonage' lot suffered severely, a. beauti­ful grove or pinea owned by Cbanncy Turner was leveled to tbe ground, inflicting tbe most severe loss suffered by any person in tbe vi l lage.
