us his ubservatiun hud gune, it. hail led
him to the lu.- om thut the rail-
wuys usually secured results (hut could
not be considered unsulisfaclury frum
thoir puiut uf view. As fur Ihc situa
tiuu hetwecu Ihc district uml Hie I'm i
tc Great Eastern, there was uo desire
upuu Ihc purt uf the council tu pluee
unneccssury ohsluclcs in Ihe way. The
fuct that the railway was bound tu
come was fully recognized, but the
members uf thc council naturally deilred tu accomplish all that they euuld iu
the interests uf thf prupcrly uwncrs
and the public, as Ihey uudersluud those
interests, lie was inclined tu thiuk that
u .'..ininoi uf thu ipie.ium might be
found iu Ihu Pacific Great Eastern con
scntiug to move their right uf way in
laud une ur twu hundred feet generally
and alsu tu alter thu ruute su us to
relieve the situatiuu iu ccrluiu specific
Instances such as l.'aulfield's which wus
affected to thu great disadvantage of
ine owner by the prcseut railway location.
Councillor GinUburger, in au interview emphasized the fact tbat it would
bu wull for properly owners to accept
thc logic of thc situation. Thc railway
wus bound to como and its coming
imiilil affect to a considerable degree
tbo wutnrfruut holdings. Under sucb con
iliiiunn it remained uuly tu endeavor to
lueatc the line where it would bu most
beneficial mutually tu citizens and tu
Hie company. Ilu was of opiniou that
ihe best sulutiuu iiiiuld Iw fur the rail
ways to run practicully parallel with tbe
."Inni' line ut a uniform distance of
about 291) feet frum high water mark.
This would protect all riparian rights
aud would give opportunity fur spur
connections un buth sides uf the truck.
Thc uflicials of the Pacific Great
Eastern have taken nu further action
as yet relative tu the situatiuu. Thc
ugrcement roiichcd was to the offset
thut the district cuuucil would bava
their engineer run a line showing a
route which would be acceptable tu the
ouiiiil uml lhat the plan would be submitted tu the cunipuny. This line is uuw
beiug ruu aud a further conference
will be held at Victoria within ten
lays when it is hoped that a llnul adjustment will be made.

The Fight For The Standard
By D. W. HIGGINS
mmmmmmmmmm^mmmmmnmmm
(Oontiiiiioii from Laat tueaday)
"Don't be alarmeil," hu >:oplieil,
"I .In not iui i'uii to kill myself uutil 1,
slmll huvu iinini miinii tiling to redeem
my character in roy owa eyasi if not

Hoveral weeks elapsed without my

The Confederate flag continued |o
flaunt its bright hues in the face of the
Unionists ami the tlonfodorato iuloon
t'tinl inued to onjoy an enormoiiH pn-
Iiiiiiiiiii'. nhnpurd wined fat and sleek
ami grew more defiant' than before.
The Union sentiment was outraged by
the success of the secession movement,
and when the news of Btoneweli Jack
son's untimely death came and tbo
(Southerners went about the streets with
crape on their arms aud the flag over
lhe saloon drooped sadly at half mast,
the Northerners held a u,u|ict little
meeting and decided that something
energetic shuuld be dune to get rid of
the rebel standard.
A frequent visitor to Victoria was
one Tom titration, a unlive of ouo if
the Kastertt Htates and an outspoken
Unionist. His homo wus at l'ort An
gcles. titration was the possessor nf
a jut-black glossy heard of great length,
of which he waa juatly proud, and
which he passed much of hia leisure
lime iu atrnking ami something with
his hands. Tom was a daredevil, ami
tis, who owned and occupied a smu
in,. ,i,nn cutlage on the curner nf, being glib of tunguo he frequently in
Birdcage Walk ami Belleville street.
This cottage was roniuvcd somo years
ago ami the flagstaff uu Ihe Government Hipiarc nuw occupies its former
sito. At thai time, ami for many yeurs
afterward, llu block uu which Roation
lime, have erected a brick building
was uul aidewalked, and the wayfarer
uu arriving at the corner of Courtney
nnd tint eminent streets wus cuuipclleil
11 turn inlu the ruad, uml su pursue
his course tu lluuiliuldt street and thc
ijiiaiul liili, bridge Unit then spanned
Hie sheet uf wuler which was dignified
liy lhe iiuinu uf .Inn,, ■ Bay, liul which
is now llie site of the Kinpross Hulel.
Uiin I tiniied inlu Ihc ruud a', four
Icuay street the darkness was su iu
tense il.ui I was forced to pick my
way slowly over Ihc loose macadam.
ui I moved caul utisly along I i ime
i,,wii that ul least one oilier person
besides myself was g his way
uver the broken ruck. I paused and
then I was certain Uat twu persons
wi re upprnuehing me, fur 1 euuld see
Imu forms diiul) emerging, as il were,
(loin (lie Meekness, lu an instant 1
was ou Ihc alert and lie Ihoighl flushed ui'ioss iny iniini iiiui them ii.'in had
Seen mc wilh money ut the gaming
table and had followed with the object
of i'.u..nn,]' ami rubbing mc. They
were ulnm-i upun mc when I threw
luck my Inverness cape and made u
motion us if lo draw a weapon. I was
unarmed. I bad passed all Ihruugli
the pcnlous vigilance committee limes
at Hun Francisco- when decent men
were robbed and shot duwu like dogs,
uml when culprits were hanged in the
streets by mobs ami never carried
knife or pistol. When I slurted for
the IT,I,i Biver mines In 18.08 I
bought a Toll's five shouting revolver,
fur which I paid SIS. At Yale it proved
an ciicuinhruni'c In me and I "swap
ped" il wilh a crafty miner fnr au
uid silver walchi The watch wouldn't
go ami I offered lo sell it for $8. No
one would buy and I threw it away in
disgust, so when I was "approached"
i,. lhe garotters ou the dismal evening
referred lo I possessed neither watch
nor pistol. However, althoogh seared
and nervous, I was resourceful, and as
I swung my arm round 1 shuuted:
"Htup, or I'll flrcl" The men foil
back intn the darkness and I sprang
Inward the bridge un a kijcn jump. I
don't i.elicve that the men ' ,11...-..-1
nie, but I leached tbe bridge and cruised it with tbo speed of an antelope,
bounded up lbe steps of the littlo cot
(age, burst into the front dool and was
soon within the four corners of my
bachelor apartment—breathless, perspiring and trembling with fear and
excitement, liut safe. A strange feeing took control of me as 1 thought over
the incident. I became impressed with
the belief that one of the forma I had
seen approaching ine out of the dark
inns was that of Wolfo or Fiiilayson.
I could not have sworn to his identity,
but some hypnotic orlelepathic' influence told rpe that ono of the figures was
his. I i mild prove nothing, but J nevor
spoke to bim afterwards, although I
met biro on several occasions. The nest
day a brief paragraph in the paper
mentioned the attempted hold-up and
the incident aoon faded from my mind.
Tbe old Btar and darter waa torn
dowa ia 1885, and tba Masons laid ths
dulgcd in a wordy clash with the
Southern residents. To him tho flag
v.as a source of great annoyance, and
he sometimes made threats as to what
he would do wilh it if he ever got a
i.iaui'e. One da) he told Hhapanl thai
if he could i.t i ii I the flag he would die
happy.
" Voa," said Hhapanl, "if you should
steal that Hag you will die, but whether
happy or not 1 can't say. At any rate,
thc Hag when you steal it shull be your
shroud,"
•'"iiiiiiiu, mude uu reply, hul siruked
his beard ami walked olf.
Kearly one aflernuuii live or six
yuung men, strangers, entered lhe dun
federate. They wero professedly Houtli
urners and boisterously cheered for Jell'
Davis and thu Southern cause. All
were possessed of much cash and (real
cd Ihc laiidliird and all in the huuse
lu liberal pulatiuns uf champagne at tu
u bottle, A puker game was in pro
gress at one of tbo tables, aud the
strangers slaked heavily ami lual wtih
a guud grace. Bvery time a fresh buttle
was' opened Hhapanl was invited to
"have another," and it was nut lung
befure lie showed lhe effects of the
frequent draughts in speech and guit.
The treating continued and when the
lluur arrived fur lowenpg the standard
Hbapard was unmistakably intoxicated.
Whenever ho made a movement tu gu
outside for the flag one of the youug
fellows woold invite him te "have anotber," and al last lie sank dowu at
one of llic tables and fell asleep.
Inii' iii the eveuing Hhapanl awoke,
and remembering his flag, walked to
Hie staff to lower it, when to'his con
stcrnatioii and grief be found that the
emblem of secession had disappeared,
ami with il had gone lhe gay youug
struiigefs who had been so liberal with
money and wine. The excitement among
the Houtherners was great and a heavy
reward was uffereil for the recovery of
lhe flag, bul it was never found. It
was delivered to the American iTim.ul
i
by tbe caplnrs and by him sunt to
yVaslijugton.
Home weeks after the disappearance
of the flag Hhapanl entered Bingo's
Hotel (now the Angel) on Ungley
street. Heated at one of lhe tables
was Tom Hlratton, sleek and hand
soma and carefully grooming his long
black beard. The niomont Hhapanl's
eyes fell upou Htrattou he took fire.
lie advanced to the table aud poured
forth a volume of ugly wordt. Htrattou laughed iu bis face. Hhapard con
tinned his abuse.
. "Vou stoio my flag," he foamed.
"Well, what of itt" asked Hlratton,
as he rote to his foot. *
"That's what of it," .creamed Shap-
an), as he dealt hit hated antagonist
a blow full in the face.
Hlriillnn retorted witb a blow and
then tbe two men clinched. Both wore
strong and in the full vigor of life, and
as tbey struggled and pounded aod tore
each otber wltb their hands and teeth
their anger found vout in savage growls
and" yells tbat resembled more the
snarls of wild beasts tban tbo voices
of men. Over one of tho tablet Htrat
too was forced and went to the floor
with a trash. Ia an instant Hbapard
waa upon him, hit knees on hia cheat
apd his tbumbt /oread late his neck.
Htrattou's eyas and tongue protruded,
hat Will) a herculean effort ho eon
trived to throw Hhapanl off and forcing
him to the floor made liim tha "uuder
dog ia tha "niii-" iiuih worn by tbia
time covered with blood and tboir
coatt aad shirts hung in tatters. Htrat-
ton's glorious heard had boun plucked
from Its roots and Shaiiard bold jt like
a plume in his loft hand, w|iile with
his right lie pummeled thopi^r aud
face nf his antagonist, who returned
the punishment with interest.
Tho light continued for soma ten
minutes, Tablea and chain were overturned and Innl.eii, crockery swashed
and food and dishes scattered al) over
the placo. The two men were most deplorable spectacles. At last Hhapard
yielded and Htrattou claimed the victory. But it cost him dear. Ho never
was a well man again. Ilia beard never
grew again un I in a few years he died
on the i ion ml i dm | ni id'., business tell
off after the war and he went ••• California, after whieh 1 heard uf hint nu
more.
It transpired thai Hlrattun, assisted
liy Wolfe, iiul. the Hug while the
young strangers, who were well sup
plied with ' American government
money, got the landlord sn drunk that
ho forgot to lower tho emblem before
dark.
Home two yoara afterwards I road iu
tho Sail Francisco Bulletin that a mail
liiiiiiiiil Wolfo bad poisoned himself
With nriisaic aeld at the American lit-
iiiiiiiiiii in that c|ty. J have uo reason
ta dniilil that thu brilliant rascal who
for a iinm captivated iny senses was

PRINTING (Continued)
A near relative to gaslight paper is
hromldo, which wben finished, ean
scarcely be distinguished from the
otber and mora easily worked gas
light paper. Tbu greul difference lies
in tbe fact that broinldle priuting
muit be done,in tbe dark room. Ex
posuro to daylight, or any kind of ur
(iflcial light is fata|. Oareful handling
li neceiBary and tbo paper must uut be
opened except iu p ruby light.
Iu priuting, thp action ia much
quicker than gaslight papor. Thu frame
must hu filled in the dark room uud
exposure can tben bo madu by urtill
clal or by daylight. According to tbo
ptrotigth of tho light bo must the exposure bu regulatod. As in gaslight
priuting it is hotter tu mako a trial
exposure before procooding with the
uctual printing, ami lliu method explained iu last weuk's article shuuld
bu ITilluni'il,
Thu iliin ii'iu'i lining thut u few seconds only urn required fur Iho exposure.
Bromidu printing hus othor advaii-
luges over other papers hesides rapidity
in printing. It is usually Usod fur thu
making of enlargements and is also
thu medium used fur thc oil and bro-
moll processes.
it is madu iu many grades and sur
faces, uach suitablu for ila own parti-
uiin work. For bruad offects usu thu
ruugh paper, for prints wliiuli require
detail usu thu finer surfaces ur glossy.
A great deal ilupends upun Individual
taato, hut the more artistic effects ure
produced by tbe use of ruugh paper.
In printing bromide it must be un
dorstoud that it is quite as sensitive
to light as a plate ur lilm. Fur usu iu u
daylight eulargur it must be placed in
pusitiuu in thu durk ruum. ».....ii, i,;
papur will uut du fur enlarging.
A guud iii.'lliu< 1 for priuting bromide
is to mul,.' a mul'' uf say two feci with
a iliding piece upuu which the print
iug frame can bu attached uml which
can bu muved cither wuy. At uuu
end uf the scale Ihu light is fixed und
thu printing in done by tliu aid uf a
candle or uil lamp. The printing frame
shuuld bu abuut eighteen inches dis
taut frum tbo light, and according lo
thu density of the negative the exposure
shuuld be given. This can only bu cs
iiiiinii',I by practice ur by a triul ex
pusure, Once the right exposure uud
distance is ascertained, a record shuuld
bu kept for future priuting. This will
suvu further experimenting should moro
prints be required,
The development of bromide prints ii
exactly the game as fpr gaslight papers,.
except that it must bp carried uut iu
thc dark room. Thu same developer
wi)l do. For soft effects usu u weak
dovuloper. This especially so for enlargement!.
Ono thing beginners'uru usually Iron-

It will usually bu noticed thut thu

that it will practically halve the pros
out freight rato botween Vancouvor
ami the ports of tho British isles. We
can now consider Vancouver as an outlet toward Europe and the Atlantic
coast for Alberta wheat, liven now,
with the present excessive rutes over
the Itockies, wheat may be shipped in
winter from Calgury tu Liverpuol more
cheaply than by tbe all rail ruute to
Bt. John, Now Brunswick. The winter
rates to Llvorpool are four tenths of
a ceut per bushel in favor qf Vancouver
from Calgary. Tbe Eastern route is
blocked by ice live months iu the yoar.
The British Columbia route is open
tweh'e months iu the year. The Panama Canal will givo the decided ad
vantage to Vancouver ull the year

From Calgary to the head of navigation un Luke Superior (Fort Willium) is 1,2110 miles. From Calgary
to tho I'nrt of Vancouver is till miles.
It is now generally believed iu the

Tbu present freight rates froin

but aru criminally wasteful iu tbeir
methods. The coal depusils uf thc

It ii said that the coal fields of one
small district iu the Kuuleuay are
capable uf yielding 10,000,000 tons uf
oal a year for uver 7,000 years, and a
new diatrict has been discovered with

iiomic discovery ever made in Britiih
Culuinhia, where there are known tu

richest known authracile district in
Iho New Wurld west uf Pennsylvania.
The country is niouaced in twu
Jircctious. Anglo tfuxuns have been
loo comfortably enacouod iu Ibe luxu
riei of the slut us ijuo. British Col-
umbia is threatened by Auioricau
ownership and Asiatic overfluw.
British Columbia ii a vast neglected opportunity. You bave nu idea uf
tbe wealth which is being alieuated to
tbe moro alert aud appreciative Yankee. Ile, nt least, is alive to tho op
portuujlies of the New Wurld. It
doei not matter io much that you are
willing to sit bere waiting for 4 per
cent.—if you liko tbat sort of tbing—
and where your money ia doiug nothing particularly toward the building of
Empire. If it doei not interest you
that io many American! are doubling
their money in a year—two yoars—in
British Columbia, there ia a political
aspect of this matter which iomo day
will im en-si yon. '
You, no doubt, have been congratulating yourselves upon a narrow escape
frpm Americanization in a recent vote
on reciprocity. Tbu dangers of the
Anierieiini.Titiiiu of Canada do not Iiu
so much in a freer trade betwoon north
und south of tho American Contiueut
as in tho matter of who uwna Can
ada. Thu peril does not lio in trade
but in ownership, tor you may rest
assured that the peoplo who own a
country will rule it.
The Yankee is not the ouly une
whu has discovered British Columbia,
but Ureat Britain is abouj tlio only
country which has not. Alas, even
the Asiatic has found us out. And
this means that wo aro face to face
with a now poril of uo uncurtain
magnitude.
The one all absorbing muvumeiit of
the world today] is Asia redivivus,
the iluuie,hai,, issues of which aru involved in the Japanese programme.
Let no ono think that it will bu less
al.ua,ii,,: when China has found hor
programme. But that is another ipies
tiou for uunl Ii.i duy.
The vital world-issue of today, now
especially on the Pacilic, is thu Japan
ese programme of Asiatic Imperialism:
Asia ami the American Hemisphere
ami the Pacilic Ocean fur the Japan
ese. It is becausu the Chinese ami
Japanese are so great that wu uo
longer dure consider them negligible.

lu apologize fur it—but fur thusu who

In the greul world issues of the twou
imii century, the fundamental ami
unchanging dividing line lies between
thu peoples uf the Last ami tliu puu

It is uur profound desire in British
Columbia to live in peace and eoucord
wilh uur tieighbnrs ucruss the Pacilic.
But this result must surely may lie
brought ubuut if we refraiu from uuy
attempt lo colonize Japan, and if Japan
refrains from any further encroach
incut on the American llcuii.tdwre.
Every self goveruiug colouy outer

immigrant! shuuld lie such as cau be
welded iulu a boiuogcucous political
ami economic and, abuve all, sucial uni,

alien ami uuussimilablu race.
One of thu numbers iu tbu new Jap
am'.-.■ world programme is tho uccopa
tion of British Columbia. Our prov
nice ia becoming Orientalised, and one
of uur important ijuestiuns is whether
it is to remain a British province or
become au Orieutal colouy—for we
have three races demaudiug souls iu
oor drawing room as wull as plates al
our bourd -the Jajiancac, Chinese and
Must Indian.
According lo tbe Assessment Com
missiouer several years ago nearly an
eighth of the jiopulatiou uf Vancouver
was Oriental, with that of the New
Westminster district larger. But tbo
Orientals are practically all male adults.
If they had their families wilh them
their iiuinl,ers would have beeu abuut

wuold huie given uver half the popula
tion of Vancouver aa Oriental, whilo
giving one Orieutal male adult to overy

adult population of tbo province. Ten

■eek.
ALL the pretty greet leaves wero out on tbe trees, and mauy of lbc earlier
(lowers were In full bloom, delighting those little folks who, like Jack
L and Evelyn, lived near enough to the wuods to gu out every day to
pick them.
"Tho lowers ure no doubt charming, but Ibcro arc olher thinga a coming,"
chanted daddy ua be climbed tbo slain with tbe children. "If you ire very,
rery good tonight I'll tell you what 1 dreamed.
"Well, I wus Just abutting my eyes for forty wlnka. I had been reading a
hook, and perhaps It wos u tilde dull.
"And suddenly I found myself lu tbe mldat of a road, a charming road,
wllh fresh green gran giuwlnv un each ilde of It and wltb Jolly flower facet
peeping over tbe tups of rustic fences.
"Wbat waa my emprise lu hear u band of music, snd is 1 turned a corner
I inw a procession coming toward me.
"At the bend of It waa quite the funniest band I bare ever seen. Thc drum
major waa a big fat crow, und behind bim wltb trumpets and drums and til
tho other Inatrumcnta which a brass band abould bave cams a company of
birds. There wai tbe bluebird and the robin aod Ibe thruib and the catbird,
the blackbird, thc vireo, the (onager, (be checwlnk and many olber feathered
frlenda of the garden and Iho Uelda. Tbey looked so funny puffing away ai
tbe horns that I stood at tbe side uf the road nnd ilnred.
"After tbe brass bend bud strutted by n company of tht Jollleit little cherries I ever hope to aee came hupping along .On their items. They wore-funny
cocked bate mode of cherry leaves, >
"After (hem come a regiment of applea and tben ona of peacbee til another of peara.
"The procession dwindled away to little fellows Ilka blackberries, and Ihere
seemed to be an endless number of these. When tho blackberries were poat
the raspberries awept by, and then tbere were huckleberries, and when the
elderberries cuuie bobbing by I exclaimed!
" 'Id the name of common tense, wbo nnd what ara they?1
" 'Why. dou't you know)' a little buttercup replied, primly pushing her bead
over the fence. 'They are nice new fruit fo, jack and Bvelyn harrying to their
placei pn the trees In tbr orchard.'
"And (ben I suppose I shouldn't bave done It, for It spoils the atory, bat I
iiugbed rlgbt uut loud, and tbe pretty road and tbe procession and ererytblug
vanished away, und I waa back In (he ilttlng room with n dull book on my lap
Bul, nave; you mind, I think tbot/rult ta on Ita way to ua, and aome morning
wo may waka up and find it on (he treat." '
