'There is it distinct joy in owning land, unlike thai which vou have money., in houses, in boohs, pictures or anything else which mc have derised.

' ior here we have natural aud artificial transportation facilities unequalled, we have the best and most variegated climatic conditions, the finest soils, the pleasantest scenery, and the most desirable geographical position of any stale or province nn earth. ' The government's action in thus tackling the problem of the land is one which will be backed up by ever}' legitimate interest in the province. ' While ils policy will be essentially one inspired for the advantage nf the masses, it will he endorsed by every one of the larger interests operating legitimately in llritish Columbia. ' It will mean that the new road to the north���the Pacific and Great Eastern Railway ��� will find itself passing through the heart of an agricultural empire released from the clutches of the land speculator. Tins route, under ihe changed conditions, whether operated by the present owners or by the government, will become Vancouver's food carrying line, for there are millions and million-- of acres between here and Fort George, easy to clear and easy to get under cultivation, lying alongside of the P.

' B'REWSTER WOULD, no doubt, marvel when the little ball would advise that the professional was not altogether to be overlooked. x^j 1 HI*. MAY XOT BE a chap you'd like to chum with, but it is well to consider him and hi., advice. There are little" tine point-, upon which the prof, may be safely consulted.

And it is declared to be oi a character thai will bring joy to the hearts of the majority of tbe popple of this province who propose to make this favored part of Canada their home. f[ But tliere is grief in store for the kind speculator, the plunger and the floater,'the shark and the gambler. If Tt is well known that along every railway line and wag; gon road, and along all lines of water communication, from thc Boundary to the Yukon line, wherever there is loam enough to raise a bean wine, there you will find the slakes of the land speculators. 11 Back in lhe hills, in no-man's kind, among tbe glaciers and the crags, is the only land which the old government reserved for the actual settler, the prospective food producer. ^f In 1911 these land speculators owed British Columbia .$14,000,000 in principal alone on lands, bought by them at ridiculously low prices and held by them from cultivation. | In addition to this, $14,000,000, they owed millions in hack taxes and interest. *f Despite this, they were allowed to hold the land until a hunger-stricken people would consent to pa}* extortionate prices for it. TI Brewster's policy will be to take back every foot of this land which has not been paid for. H Brewster's policy will be to force the speculator to pay up interest, taxes and principal. - V Either that or the speculator will have to go. 1 We have been carrying him on our back long enough. If And when the speculator does go, such a tax will be put upon wild" land in this province that gambling in the community's most valuable natural resource will have to cease. Tf There will be then inaugurated a campaign to bring settlers into the country, and a plan of land settlement will he laid out which will embody the hest features of thc many splendid systems now working out successfully in New Zealand and the dominions, states and provinces���a system upon the framing of which will he brought to bear the advice of the many practical and experienced agricultural and commercial men who have recently been elected to the legislature. If I learn in responsible quarters that the general plan of the government will be to grant each speculator an area of land the value of which is equal to the. actual sum paid upon the entire tract, less back taxes and interest. If If a man holds 1,000,000 acres at $1 an acre, and has paid in only $100,000, then he will be given $100,000 worth of land in that tract, that is if taxes and interest are paid to date. If And the government will tell him where that land vvill he located. The remaining nine-tenths of the tract will be available for the settler free. ft This will mean that there will be opened up millions of acres of valley, delta, bench lands and prairie, as vast a variety of soils as any country possesses, and it should mean that the announcement of the government's policy will These men and women will no doubt lie chosen with care from ihe agricultural districts of the east and tin- middle west, from Great Britain and from the country* to the south. Strong efforts will be made to secure farmers with capital. And it is expected that agricultural aid measures will be organized with a view i<> extending some financial assistance to bona fide tillers ol" the soil. If With a mining boom beginning, with the building of ships being taken up vigorously, with the timber trade improving and the throwing open of the agricultural lands of the province and the introduction of a food-growing policy, there should be better times ahead for all classes of the people. of shipping companies. But the XFAYS-ADVERTISER doesn t quote the captain on this point. ' WE ARE ALL in favor of a publicly-owned port; but . ^ few oi the intelligent citizens of Vancouver will welcome such if it be undertaken with a view to extending the pat- i \ ronage evil. f NOTHING GIVES A MAX* more satisfaction than to see a greal British Columbia fir-stump slowly disappear in a big bonfire. r YOU NEVER WILL meet that stump again in this world; bul if you don't behave yourself you may meet him in the next world. |i BILLY STEWART SAYS that there is gold under ery stump in British Columbia. -^ CHINOOK BREEZES OF INDIGNATION AND INFORMATION fl BETWEEN TLIE POLITICIAN and tlie statesman there is said to be a very clear line of division.

Patriotism <if that sort is worthy of the utmost respect and admiration. The,pluck of these little pigmies in attacking the giant corporation! They buzz around, fly hither and thither, from one flower of speech to another, they attack in flank, en echelon, whatever that means, frontally, and from the rear. They are so disinterested, so obviously acting for the best interests of thc city, that it is amazing Mr. II. II. .Stevens long ago lias not inarched along the principal streets hand in hand with Mr. Whatshisname of THE WORLD and Mr. Wlioeveritis of the N'l.WS-ADVER- TISER, leading the Pacific Dredging Co., and Mr. Carter Cotton silting in a Ford car behind, through a multitude of cheering citizens lining the roadways and strewing flowers in their path. These noble, honorable gentlemen have one and all set out to exterminate, to break, to crush, a giant monopoly. Day after day, night after night. Ihey scheme and plot how they may best oust the Canadian Pacific Railway from the waterfront it illegally controls, holds, leases, sits upon, makes use of. Millions upon millions of illegal revenue have gone to swell the coffers of the giant corporation. They have been robbing the public, trampling their rights under foot, closing the harbor to all competition, throttling trade, bankrupting thc citizens who have business on the water front, generally destroying everything���until these three Daniels have come to judgment. The Daniel of Politics, thc Daniel of Partisanship, and the Daniel of Dogma. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN It is, of course, not a question of business. Husiness indeed! How unsentimental. Is it not certain that if only Messrs. Stevens, Sam McClay, Fullerton and Carter Cotton, together with the Pacific Dredging Co., and other philanthropists, had been given entire control of the harbor and! all its neighboring waters many years ago, by this time we should have had mile upon mile of ferro-concrete wharves, lacerated at regular intervals with long piers, stocked with the manufactures of the east and the products of the Orient? Should not we have had harems in one wharf and cold storage for backsheesh in another? Should not we have had giant cranes capable even of lifting Mr. Stevens off his feet and hydraulic presses which would have suppressed even Mr. Sam McClay? Should not we have had miles upon miles of steel rails laid in and out and around about, above and below these wharves; with electric engines and freight cars, with switches and guide rails. Would there not have been thousands upon thousands of ocean going steamers, schooners, windjammers, row boats, fish uoats, bum boats, and auxiliaries tied to thc same wharves, lying out in the harbor awaiting their turji,vrushing in and out of the Narrows and False Creek? Would there not have been super-dreadnoughts,' dreadnoughts, cruisers, torpedo boats, mines, submarines and the Board of Harbor Commissioners' yacht, tooting and hooting, sooting and shooting about thc placid waters of our magnificent harbor? Of course there would. All these things would have happened if only thc Canadian Pacific Railway had never built out of the blood, sinew and bone of Canada's manhood and the brain of men, whose sole conception of life was to make money for themselves, their heirs and executors, successors and those who hold the monopoly of the banks, industries, mines, lands, agricultural areas, forests���oh, well, of all that we call so falsely Canada. THAT GENERAL ELECTION! There are whisperings of a Dominion election being at hand. It is thought that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as ever, Waving his white plumes in front of the Liberal party, Will charge down on the shaken, battered, and somewhat dishevelled Conservatives, greatly weakened of course��� oh, of course���by the elimination of Sir Sam Hughes��� who is now rising in Liberal estimation every morning with the SUN. Early old bird, Sir Sam. Never say die sort of thing. One party as good as another. Here's hoping for the Orange vote, etc. With the battle-cry of freedom ringing through thc welkin, Sir Wilfrid, as has been said, will charge on to the false and craven knight, Sir Robert Borden, who is about to ask parliament for another extension of time. He is like a pfisoner who might beg the judge for a longer sentence. "I have been so painstaking while in jail," he cries, "please give me another term." "Not I," clarions Sir Wilfrid, "eschew thee caitiff and avattnt. I want thy job and a general election." The Liberals in fact think that the time is ripe and the fruit will fall into their Taps. May bc that is true except that they may have to deal with a queer sentiment that until the war is over a general election should be avoided. That sentiment, which may be called Imperial, might beat the Liberals at the polls even now. But a more weighty reason might also occur to the Liberals. There is usually a sort of "morning after" taste in the mouth of the electorate when a war is finished. The government which has held the reins of power during the war is open to all kinds of petty criticisms. Thus it might more easily be destroyed then. H the Liberals succeeded to power now they will be up against the same thing after the war. Therefore the wiser, cooler heads might consider it bad policy to force an election. STIRRING EM UP This by the way. But .Mr. II. II. Stevens is taking no chances. His master, Sir Sam, having been "fired," and his supermaster, Robert Rogers, standing in considerable danger of folliwng suit, it looks as if ill the general convulsion -Mr. II. II. Stevens might not succeed in representing a Vancouver constituency unless he can "do something" meanwhile to stir the public interest in his labors. With the help of the NEWS-ADVERTISER, whose late owner. Mr. Carter Cotton, is chairman of the Harbor Board, and there lore under the constitution of that board strictly forbidden to have any financial dealings with the board, Mr, Stevens is getting columns of advertising on the most absurd subject. If the Dominion Government orders a ship to be built in Vancouver, the NEWS-ADVERTISER state, it is entirely owing to the stupendous, dynamic, persevering energy of Mr. II. II. Stevens. For over two years the business men of Vancouver have been earnestly petitioning thc Dominion Government to establish a customs house inspector at New York. Now in order to throw the people a sop it is determined to construct wooden vessels on this cast, which as Mr. Stevens. ill a gush of enthusiasm, has pointed out to the dear old NEWS-ADVERTISER, will help to develop the trade of the West Indies. The NEWS-ADVERTISER specifically states they will bring fruit to Vancouver, Imagine a wooden schooner with auxiliary engines and without cold storage bringing perishable freight like fruit to Vancouver from Jamaica. Woi\ld not the insurance companies rush to insure the freight? It is a scream, a farce of tlie brightest kind ami thank heaven that in these dull day-, the NEWS-ADVERTISER and Mr. H. II. Stevens can play it with such energy. The NEWS-ADVERTISER lias surpassed the "graving docks for the construction ol hips" sample of business knowledge. THE CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE, ST. PAUL This is mentioned only for one reason. It is an excellent illustration of the "business" capabilities of Mr. II. II. Stevens and liis backers, the NEWS-ADVERTISER and THE WORLD. Tlieir ideas of business are childlike in the extreme, their faith in miracles is apparently unlimited. Anyone who howls loud enough lhat the port if Vancouver is being ruined by monopolists can get a hearing and THE WORLD and the NEWS-ADVERTISER "fall" for it at once. For instance. THE WORLD, with a child-likee faith in the llarlior Hoard, and a determination to serve the Pacific Dredging Company to the best of its abilities, describes the document presented to thc Hon. Martin Burrell by a committee of the Board of Trade which criticised thc Terminal proposals of Mr. II. H. Stevens���as "an astonishing document." Xo doubt it was an astonishing document to THE WORLD, merely because it was extremely business like. It asked for an investigation of the proposals���and, by the way, why is it that Messrs. Stevens and his friends are so furious at the idea of investigation? Are they afraid that Mr. Carter Cotton will not be able to secure his price for the property he desires to sell to the Harbor Commissioners? Are they afraid that it will be discovered that the Terminal Railway scheme is but the beginning of a grandiloquent scheme involving millions upon millions of dollars of expenditure on False Creek. Are they afraid that the Pacific Dredging Co. will not get the contracts for this work? What difference will it make to the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul if thc whole scheme is disclosed? Expropriation proceedings will have to be taken to secure the property necessary to give that railway terminals, and everyone will welcome its advent. But Mr. Stevens states specifically that his Terminal scheme has nothing whatever to do with the Chicago, Milwaukee. St. Paul. THE C.P.R. AND THE TERMINALS If so, the more's the pity. If some scheme could be devised by which the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul would come in to Vancouver and establish its terminals aud pay a reasonable price for properties���not a price boosted into the skies by real estate speculators, but a price decided upon by competent surveyors who can gauge the revenue or the productive capacities of the proper- tics in question���so much the better. It was always believed that the energetic and enthusiastic marble mason, Sam McClay of the Harbor Board, had written to Mr. Hazen, the Minister of Marine, when the scheme was first mooted, stating specifically that it was designed to bring in the Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul. Later on, no doubt, when it was hoped to gei thc aid of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the shortsighted Mr. Stevens believed it would be bad policy to even suggest that the scheme was thus devised. It does not need a Sherlock Holmes to deduct that he would assure the Canadian Pacific Railway that nothing of the kind was intended by the scheme, aud that the said railway did not need any such assurance, being already fully aware of Mr. Stevens' intentions. The stupidity of these' corporations is of course notorious. They would never suspect lhat Mr. Stevens was acting purely as a public benefactor. They would never suspect that there was something more behind the scheme than appears on the surface, especially as they would not know- exactly the methods by which Mr. Stevens expected to raise money for the scheme. Oh no, They would be absolutely ignorant of all the issues involved and would accept all his statements on tlieir face value. Of course that is the worst of dealing with the heads of these corporations, 'They are such blundering men, unbusiness like, and not on a par with shrewd men, such as Messrs. Stevens and Sam McClay. POSING AS A CHAMPION So it may be imagined that Mr. Stevens playing for an election and feeling that a pose as the champion of public right against greedy monopoly might be effective, shows exactly the same "business abilities" as in his effort to bring fruit by seven-knot wooden ships from the West Indie.. He is probably going lo try and show that the greedy, brutal, grossly ignorant, Canadian Pacific Kail- way has stopped the business men of Vancouver getting a custom house officer iu Xew York, because it wants the long haul overland, lie is also going to- show that it lie same unyielding tyrant has strangled at its birth the great and marvellous conception of the Harbor Hoard for a Terminal Railway, because it fears the breaking of ils monopoly; he is also going to prove that the wharves owned by the time-serving tarantula or bctupus���tarantula probably sounds best���are of such flimsy construction that they will fall down if he blows his own trumpet loud enough. Then he will demonstrate to everybody's satisfaction in thc columns of the NEWS-ADVERTISER, the great and wonderful discovery, believed to have been made by the chairman of the harbor board, that the intriguing, grafting, corrupt organisation known as the Canadian Pacific Railway, does not own a foot of the waterfront as it has no title to it. Vou know, really, when you come to think of it, quite soberly, it is really wonderful that the Canadian Pacific Railway has been able to set its foot on the neck of thc people for so long. It has spent several millions on its terminals in Vancouver and yet does not own a foot of the waterfront, according to Mr. Stevens, It is marvellous. It does not own thc land it has been leasing to the men it has robbed for so long. Oh, dear! oh, dear! oh, dear! The shiftiness of these railway corporations. Just think of it. They have no common sense nor the slightest ability to engage a lawyer to look after their titles. THE TRUE STATESMAN Our dear and beloved member, Mr. Stevens, has found them out. It has taken all these years to do it, but he has done it at last. Now they must pay or come through. Unless they give up the land to Mr. Stevens and thc NEWS-ADVERTISER, they will get a very severe slap on the wrist. No! The Harbor Commissioners will not demean themselves by taking the matter to the courts. Why not���well, everyone knows the courts of Canada are absolutely controlled by the C.P.R., so it would be useless.

In fact, throughout the length and breadth of this fair land there is only one thing the C. P. R. does not control and that is Mr. Stevens No one controls him, not even Bob Rogers or The Pacific Dredging Co. When Air. Stevens is at Ottawa the wires are hot wilh the things he is going to do.

Mr. Stevens is a genius, a man ol affairs, a statesman, an energetic, painstaking, hardworking capable, experienced administrator, whose career is mon- opolising the attention of the C.P.R, ASTONISHING CIRCUMSTANCES And tliis man of genius, tins unrestrained, magnificent force which is being poured with dynamic energy again-t the damnable monopoly of tbe C.P.R. is not properly recognised, lias int lu- done everything for Vancouver, and the C.P.R. nothing?

What are they? What possible confidence can be placed i.n the judgment of such men alongside the judgment of Mr. Stevens. They ask for information and naturally il i- re- fused. Would you give information lo tlie C.P.R.? ll you wanted lo travel to the east with two babies on one ticket would you give the C.P.R, the information lhat the children were twins? Now would you? Iniperlineiicc Why should they ask for information just to find out what Mr. Stevens does not know himself. The Terminal Railway scheme is a magnificent scheme. Well conceived, beautifully drawn, carefully constructed, Its cost is only a trifle of five millions to begin with, and sixteen millions about which nothing lias as yet been said. That cosl must be met by charges upon the shipping of this port. "An astonishing document," cries the WORLD. Is it not astonishing that the men chiefly interested in shipping should desire before they endorse any scheme of that nature to know what they are asked to pay for ami how it is proposeil to finance it and whether anybody but .Messrs. Sam McClay. Fulton and Carter Cotton have worked it out? Is it not astonishing that thc C.P.R. should also ask for the same information? It is. It is most astonishing. And when Mr. Stevens is asked for figures, would it not be more astonishing if he gave them? It certainly would. How can he give them? They are confidential. WHAT DID LORD SHAUGHNESSY TAKE? And being confidential���hush���why should the C.P.R. bc given such information? Why should anyone be given any information? If Mr. Stevens says it is so, surely ue all know Mr. tSevens well enough to believe it is so. He says the C.P.R. have no titles, no permanent wharves��� oh, glory be���now we have discovered the truth. No permanent wharves���oh the sinners! oh, the vile deceivers! They intend to root up tlieir temporary so-called terminals and go out to Caulfields or Howe Sound. Was not Mr. Grant Hall seen in North Vancouver disguised as Mr. Wallace of the shipyards? Why has not Mr. Peters cut off his moustache? Just so as to give a suggestion of permanence about thc C.P.R. depot. Why did Lord Shaughnessy go to England? To take his scat in the House of Lords���now, really is anyone being deceived by stuff like that? Yes, he took his seat, of course, but what else did he take? They are always taking something are the C.P.R. officials. It would not be surprising to hear that Lord Shaughnessy came back to Canada with the woolsack in his pocket and will refuse to pay duty on it. Of course the C.P.R. will not give out any confidential information of that kind. Mr. tSevens knows though. He watched the stock markets in London and noticed the flllttefings in Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. Thc fact of the matter is that Mr. Stevens pretty soon will expose the whole diabolical plot. For it is diabolical for this unbusiness like corporation to insist on asking Mr. Stevens for information. He cannot possibly give it. To do so would be to destroy all his plans, to ruin his career, lose him his seat in parliament and his future in retirement. He cannot explain to the C.P.R. nor to anyone else, for a very good reason. Surely it is plain. He has all the figures but he cannot work them out. He cannot make white black or blue red. Why not? Because the C.P.R. will not let him. Think of it. They will not allow any one to work out a simple business proposition unless he first goes to them and asks their leave. If the worst comes to the worst, they would not allow Mr. Stevens to have a piece of paper to work the figures out on. Such is monopoly. Such is their control. So not being able to give the information asked for, Mr. Stevens and the NEWS-ADVERTISER and THE WORLD cry for public control of the port of Vancouver, which is something entirely different and has nothing whatever to do with the Harbor Board. No doubt Mr. Stevens and his friends desire the Harbor Board to control the port under such circumstances, but that at present is not in question. What is in question is Mr. Stevens and the Harbor Board. ���CRITICUS. DECREASED SEEDING OF FALL WHEAT A bulletin just issued by the Census and Statistics Office reports on the acreage and condition at October 31st of fall wheat sown for 1917 and the progress of fall ploughing. Owing to the dry condition of the soil in Ontario difficulties were experienced in the ploughing and seeding of fall wheat.

SOLDIERS AND THE LAND Do Nqt Turn Them Away From Ii A warning voice has lately I :��� raised by an expert in ihe training i wounded soldiers, in a leading Paris journal, against diverting these men to an indoor life, if before the war they were accustomed to work on the land. A certain number will be unable to resume their uld work, hut they are the exceptions. It will be a great injury to the men as well as to the country, he points out. if men skilled in farming are to be trained only for indoor occupations, and especially for occupations likely to be over-stocked with labor. Another writer mentions bee-keeping, bird-raising, and even rabbit- raising, as among the small rural industries fit for the seriously disabled. For men whose ability is not much lessened, gardening and sheep-raising and dairying are all possible. Many of those who have lost a leg, or even an arm, when trained by the wonderful methods of modern science, prove surprisingly competent for work which at first sight might seem beyond their powers. The veteran benefits iu various ways by returning to the country district he came from. He is among old friends, and his mutilation makes him a local hero. The warning will not be thrown away, let us hope. The needs of the case are recognized by those engaged in restoring the powers of Canadian soldiers in our Military Convalescent Hospitals. At those institutions, of course, it is impossible to carry on all the'staple industries of agriculture. But a beginning is made in such lines as are possible, such as poultry-raising, bee-keeping, and gardening. Men of other callings who cannot return to them can take an agricultural course of training after leaving hospital, at Provincial Agricultural Schools, free of cost, and their families meanwhile will be maintained by the Dominion Government. The extent to which returned soldiers will seriously take up agriculture, however, can hardly be estimated until the Government scheme of land settlement for soldiers is announced. The French Government alsn, it is interesting to see, is being urged to perfect the laws, passed in recent years, assisting small farmers by long term loans and in other ways. As M. Saint-Maur points out. the promoters of such legislation, M. Ribot and Mc- line, are now in power, so other enlightened sympathy can he reckoned upon. , FARMS WANTED Wanted to hear from owner of good farm for sale. ��� Northwestern Business Agency, Minneapolis, Minn.

Bowser, r\ -Premier ,,f British Columbia, The Montreal JOURNAL OF COMMERCE this week issues a special number for which Mr, IV. .1. Bowser, retiring premier, has written the following article:��� 1 appreciate the privilege, accorded to me, along with other provincial premiers, of contributing an article for a special edition of The Journal of Commerce, in a "Trade Revival and Expansion Campaign." I am glad lo know that your valuable journal is engaging in a campaign of this nature, and that it intends to devote one special edition lo llie Western provinces, llritish Columbia, we think, is not always fully understood in the eastern provinces. We have peculiar and unusual conditions to deal with and these have affected the situation here very materially since, and immediately preceding, the outbreak of the war. Wc were then beginning to suffer a reaction from a considerable era of over-speculation in land and urban real estate. Our big railway programme, which caused a very large circulation of money, was drawing to a close. The government had been engaged, as all our western governments had, in large public improvements. Municipalities bad accumulated heavy liabilities in carrying out extensive betterments of all kinds. Tbis large expenditure of money was ceasing. When the war broke oul the situation was greatly accentuated. There- was a great deal of unemployment and the non-employed had to be taken care nf. All of mir industries were seriously affected, which in turn reacted upon (be commercial community, Our conditions were not unlike those which obtained generally til rough out Canada, but owing to our geographical situation we could not recover so quickly. Eastern Canada was in a position, uwing to its industrial organization and nearness In tlie scat of war, to begin almost immediately to benefit from the immense demand for munitions and supplies nf war. Wc were not. Inn- a whole year our industries received no orders and comparatively little since. And, worse than that, one of our greatest industries, lumber, which normally had been producing about $30,000,000 a year, was faced with a serious situation. Tllc .Middle West, our principal market, offered feu orders and Jucal building was stopped. The export trade, in which a new and large demand'was created by way of the Panama Canal, could not be taken advantage of for lack of ocean bottoms and llie temporary closing of the Canal itself. Private individuals, business men, municipalities and the government were carrying heavy overhead fixed charges, with greatly reduced revenues. I have presented you the dark side. In lb second year of the war everything was changed for llie better. Mining in 1915 reached its high water mark of prosperity and is going still stronger. The lumber industry lias greatly improved, owing to demand in the Middle West, and the prospects of the export trade, through tbe government's policy of encouraging shipbuilding, are stimulating the coast mills everywhere to increased production. There arc now ten ships- under construction contract to look after the trade, and further contracts arc under consideration. In eight or nine months we shall have at least twelve ships ready for charter. The fisheries are exceedingly prosperous and 1915 was the banner year for agricultural production. Owing to heavy enlistments the question of unemployment has been completely done away with. Notwithstanding what might be called the hard times, British Columbia since the war began, has contributed about 33',0OO men to the Army, has helped largely in Belgian and French relief, has contributed very large sums to patriotic and Red Cross funds, and is now- organizing extensively in connection with thc employment of returned soldiers. Wc have a considerable way -to get back to our former flourishing financial conditions, but we are going well in that direction, perhaps on sounder lines. Our slogan now is "production," and we shall not in future regard real estate as a basis of prosperity except in so far as our land can pay dividends on the basis of what it can produce. .... * THE "A.B.C."

Marguerite Rissgr, powerful American stage beauty, in "Twin^ Beds" at the Vancouver Opera {-louse miles of ilie trunk sewer has been completed in (he municipality, for which was paid in salaries alone $189,5.11.85. Mr. Russell was instrumental in having Ibis work done by day labor which gave employment to residents of South Vancouver, who in turn were able in many instance- to- pay tlieir taxes to the municipality. In the near future he expects to see the long-looked for industrial development promised by the Dominion Government on the Xorth Arm of the Fraser River under way which, in his opinion, base been unnecessarily delayed, as lhe population warrants the proposed development, For instance, there are 17 schools with a'daily attendance of 4.263 children, with approximately HUMI children in the municipality, and they must have manufacturing to keep the families from leaving lhe province to seek employment elsewhere. In speaking of Mr. Stewart's appointment on tlie Harbor Commission, he was asked if lhe South Vancouver council did not recommend Mr. Harrison. He acknowledged it was true, but stated where Mr. Harrison was bis choice, still Mr. Stewart came highly recommended, and on being interviewed by him, made plain tliat lie would endorse in its entirety the plans submitted to the govern- ineiil for South Vancouver, so that be was willing to forfeit any personal feelings he might have in the choice of commissioner for ihe ,_rood of the municipality, THEATRICAL NOTES PANTAGES THEATRE NEXT WEEK COUNCILLOR W. B. RUSSELL WILL CONTEST REEVESHIP South Vancouver, November 28. ��� Councillor VV. IS. Russell, one the best-known members of the South Vancouver municipal council, a resident and property owner of the district for tbe past twenty-seven years, and a member of the council for the past two years, after a great amount of persuasion from bis many friends, has agreed to contest the Reeveship of South Vancouver for 1917. While in conversation with our representative regarding conditions that the present council have bad to contend' with in connection wilh delinquent taxes and local improvements, Mr. Russell stated that he thinks both could be improved upon by the local government taking over the trunk roads. The Pacific Highway, while a good thing, is very little benefit to the average ratepayer, and a great burden to the majority owning property facing on the road. The government have built and maintained this thoroughfare in the upper country, why not here? Regarding delinquent taxes, he takes the stand that every possible means should be used to collect money due the municipality, yet Ihis is not the lime to put additional expense on the ratepayers who have made sacrifices enough in the past two years, without having the municipality place their accounts, in their solicitors' hands for collection. The contends that every one is willing lo pay his taxes if Ile had the money. Since being a member of the council he has filled the position of chairman of the board of works and sewers. The past year has been an active one, as approximately 10 IPANTAGES Theatre! WEEK OF DECEMBER 4th, 1916 HARDEEN "The King of Hand-cuffs" JOHN T.

Pretty Marguerite Risser Among the Chosen Twelve Few people are aware that there is a list of best sellers among photographers, just as tliere are lists of best sellers among book publishers. The list of photos Includes twelve of the most popular and beautiful women in America, and is carefully revised each year. Standing fourth in order is Marguerite Risser, of the "Twin Beds" Company, which comes to the Vancouver Opera House on Monday next, for an engagement of two nights and special matinee Tuesday. Invariably actresses and operatic singers predominate among tlie best sellers. The list is completed on Ihe firsl. of July each year, and the lisi contains (lie name of no woman who is socially prominent. Following the lhe envied twelve "best sellers": Lina Cavalieri, Mary Garden, Frances Alda, Marguerite Risser, Doris Keatie, Hilly Bllfke, Maud Adams, Ethel -llarrymore. Alice Lloyd, Louise Homer, Lillian Russell, Emmy Destinn, For the first time Maxine Elliott is not on the list, Undoubtedly on account of her prolonged absence from the stage. The prominence of Marguerite Risser has come largely through the appealing charm of her performance of Blanche Hawkins in "Twin Beds." The freshness, the poise, and charm of smile which characterize Miss Risser and without doubt the cause of her popularity. Until two years ago she was comparatively unknown. At that time a friend, a Xew York photographer, caught a peculiar expression of naivity in her smile and transferred it to paper. The pictures drew a large number of admirers and other photographers tried to catch the same smile. It was this smile which made Miss Risser famous. Matinee girls are always fickle in their tastes and are always yager for a new face. They buy the photographs of Miss Risser hungrily, and matinee girls can make or break a "best seller." Not only do they buy her pictures, but they rave over them, as one photographer explains. Miss Risser is only eighteen years of age and has been on the stage but two vears.

Sir Owen Phil- ipps, the greatest llritish ship owner, was responsible on Nov. \2 for the statement that :it the outbreak of the war the Germans owned 5,459,29(5 |tons of mercantile shipping: that of this 230,000 ions have been captured by the British Navy; 38,000 tons have been captured by our allies; 117,000 tons have been sunk; 397,000 tons interned in ports of the British Empire, whilst the remainder, about ..- 667.000 tuns of German shipping, has (with the exception of an insignificant number of steamers still running in the Baltic) been rusting for more than a year in German and neutral harl-ors." This means that tlie first function of a navy has been discharged, and German commerce practically swept from the seas of the world. (II) "A fleet may protect its own commerce." Tlie admirable article in Mr. Castell Hopkins' Canadian Annual Review, to which this article is much indebted, records an increased British import of $.350,000,000, i. e., 15 per cent, for the seven months ending July 31, 1915, whilst the British Board of Trade is authority for the fact that in the first year of the war, before the submarine fishery had got on to its job, and whilst the few German raiders were still at large, we lost one-half of one per cent in cargoes, and though our ceaseless patrol had to keep the grim North Seas in the shrinking daylight hours of winter, its hitter dark nights and constant gales, il lost only four per cent, of its vessels. As tlie raiders have long since been sunk, and the .submarine danger is now well under control, and England in no danger of the threatened starvation, it may he granted thai the Navy and those "fringes of the fleet" to whom the protection of our commerce was entrusted, have discharged this duty also. (III) "The Fleet may render the enemy's fleet impotent." Our Navy's first action was t" put the German High Seas Fleet into cold storage at Kiel Canal. -Vhere it has kept it virtually ever since, thrashing such portions of it as came out from time to time, as at the battle of the Bight, that of Dogger Banks, of the Falklands and of Jutland, and destroying its ra*iders. As far as v.c l.nuu I if flag or if carried, is carried mider ..Inn- "iir gallant fishers inailt potent. (IVl "\ fleet may make ihc iratis- porl nf enemy troops across tlie sea impossible, whether for attayk or defence." As such transport nf troops has hardly been attempted by mir enemies il seems to say that this function has also been fulfilled (V) "A fleet may transport its own troops where it will." I,et England's Premier witness as In this, lie .aid that "since lhe beginning of th.' war tlu- transport department of the Admiralty, for the army alone, carried 2,500,000 officers and men: 320,000 sick, wounded and nurses; 2,500,000 tons of spires and" munitions; 860.000 horses, mules and camels. It is a most remarkable fact that hitherto the loss of life on the whole of these great overseas operations was considerably less than one tenth of one per cent. These figures do not include tons upon tons of stores carried for (he navies of allied countries. Is there anything comparable in history t" lhe actual service nf the Navy itself." Add to this thai the -Mediterranean was rendered safe fur troops to pass from Africa to Prance; for British troops to go to Egypt or Greece; for Australian troops to come from their home to the Orient; the Atlantic was made safe for Canadian troops to come from Canada to the fighting line, without the loss uf a transport or even of a man. and even the vast commerce and passenger traffic of the Atlantic crossed it in comparative safety, and this mind you. in spite of a new danger, that of the submarine, for which the British Navy was not prepared; a novel kind of foul fighting to which our Navy was not ac- 'Ctistonied. This cost us some .heavy hiss. The patrol cruisers Aboukir, llogne and Cressy were ^destroyed by torpedoes on their North Sea patrol, because they thought more of saving other than of saving themselves; the Lusitania, with its women and children, was sent down, and a heavy toll was taken at first of merchant shipping (that of Britain, her allies and neutrals) but look at the other side. In 1914 the Germans and Austrians were credited with 36 of these submarine assassins. The style of fighting suited the German genius and they built more submarines feverishly so that in August, 1915, it was stated that these people had 58 such boats, but in October it was admitted that "47 of them had not reported for some weeks," and now, thanks to'our Navy, and its "fringe" of trawlers, mine sweepers, armed merchantmen, etc., to its nets and oil, and other devices which are its own secrets, "the submarine situation is completely in hand. Science and our amateurs have robbed thc submarine of its Invisibility and without that it is no match for its surface enemies. (VI) "It may secure their supplies and in fitting circumstances it may assist their operations." It is not possible here to enumerate all lhe occasions and Ihe extent to which Britain's Navy has fed her armies and those of her allies, wilh food and munitions, Incidentally tllis point has already been dealt with while as to the second part of this clause, Vf, it may suffice to recall the naval operations at Tsing Tan, and Gallipoli, off 7.eebrugge, in Flanders, on Lake Tanganyka, and more recently against the Austrians. To some, the work undertaken in the Dardanelles may not seem to have been the Navy undertook it. pitted its weak walls against impregnable land forts, and silenced ihem. aiu! when its soldiers found that even AnzaCI could 1101 take them, spirited Ihem away without the I >SS of a man in the evacuation, Seas, rivers, inland work, tin- Bril- ish \a\y has uncomplainingly tackled all. and pm.ed i" demonstration lhat there are ii" things which ii cannot il". except advcitise.

It dues nol specialize in killing women and children, iu the sinking "f passenger steamers, in the destruction of unfortified watering places iu the cold blooded judicial murder of fair fighters like Fryatt and it will not shake itself free of its old traditions, which teach it to engage an enemy wherever it finds him. whether the odds anil conditions are in ils favor or not, as in the ease of the gallant though unlucky Craddock or the gallant and victorious Beatty, But o fall (he wonders which the Navy has performed the greatest is that it has again beaten Drake's war drum. If you have nut read the tradition 1 shall not tell it to ynu. As a Briton you should know it, and must look it up if you do not. In thc splendid days of Henry VIII and his glorious daughter, the Navy was not one of specialists. There were Queen's ships for a nucleus, but they were small and few. The sea adventure of Plymouth found and, manned their own ships, and in a ureal crisis like the Armada the sea people of our Island flew to arms and in craft that we should a few- years ago have looked upon as yachts or cockle shells. But Drake's drum has sounded again, and the sea folk have answered it. Merchantmen not only carry our food to us. at the rate of 1,000 ships a week (losing four per cent in the operation"., hut they have proved themselves more than a match for the submarines; the fishers fish for mines, and urBjer-water assassins; pleasure craft patrol our shores alongside grimy fishing smacks and petrol launches, tllc people of oitr seas have swarmed around their hive, and the Navy nf Britain is again the royal ships and the sea folk. Kipling said, "If blood be the price of admiralty, by God we have paid in full." We have; and those who have paid do not grudge the price, since they have swept our shores inviolate, our sea-roads open and Britain's honor untarnished by foul fighting, and now wc ask you to give of the wealth which sea power has kept safe for vou. to the children of those who iu the King's ships or the peoples, have laid down their lives for ynu, that these may be cared for, amjl taught in that profession in which their fathers died.

Full of remorse, the owner of the weapon has tened hot-foot to the house of the nearest doctor. "I've just shot Wal Wightman in tlie leg!" he. cried, "Come quick!" The doctor paused on the threshold, viewing the man with admiring eyes. "You mean to say you shot Wal Wightman in the leg?" he replied. "Yes," sadly replied the other. "Well," said the doctor, as he buttoned his glove, "that was a mighty good shot, anyway."
