It is said that the city owes its location to the beauty of its scenery. In 1862 a man pitched. camp with his Indian guide on the shore of Burrard Inlet. He was on the trail of the gold dis- coveries up in the Cariboo. The site was so much to his taste, however, that he staked a claim where he pitched his camp, and Vancouver grew up around him.'

Twenty-four years later the 600-mile wall of mountains had been pierced and the first pas senger train rolled in from the east.

In April of 1886 Vancouver was incorporated as a city-of two thousand inhabitants. Three months later the two thousand

From the ashes, the present city has grown up.

The next sensational happeň- Ing for Vancouver took place 1,000 miles away. It was the opening of the Panama Canal in 1915 which reduced the sen route to Liverpool by 6,000 miles.

With such a unique record of rapid expansion the city may well feel its celebrations must be on unusual lines. They will last from July 1 until September 7- ton busy weeks. Nothing of the kind has ever taken place within a thousand miles of Vancouver.

Insurance has proved an enorm in many ways; now it is not only possible to arrange for insurance in ease of premature death, for sickness and accidents, and for damages to property, but there is another form of insurance policy, which has proved most popular. This is the "family income polley", which is issued by most leading companies. It gives a benefit pay- able by instalments, so that de pendents are financially covered in relation to probable needs. This scheme provides high cover in return for a low premium, nud consequently many persons have availed themselves of it. At a recent meeting of the Institute of Actuaries it was suggested that more should be done to provide for insurance against sickness,

Music and light is to be the motif of this great Pacific Jam- borce. The Oriental festivals, parades and street dancing are not to be confined within park railings. The whole city is de- termined to enter into the spirit of the thing. Sports are in- evitable in the only city in the Empire where golf, sea-bathing and ski-ing can all be practised on the same day.

London is to be represented by several exhibits, including one of. the two remaining examples of the famous old "B" type omnibus which Was so heavily com- mandeered, for active service, in 1914.
