E. Oliver in a well-worded letter published on the front page of both the local dailies appealed to the electors to vote for him personally, and not to desert him in order to concentrate their forces in favour of another candidate for the purpose of defeating a third. The results show that Mr. Oliver sized up the situation with absolute correctness. It is an open secret that less than a week before the election the trade switched its solid vote to J. A. Turner, believing him to be a stronger candidate than Mr. Oliver. That vote is conceded to be nearer seven hundred than six hundred, but call it six- fifty. The final figures show that if this vote had been given to Mr. Oliver he would have had a majority over Mr. Morley of nearly 200, which about corresponds with Dr. Hall's majority of last year. The final figures show that Mr. Oliver's personal vote was at least 200 more than Mr. Turner's, for if the trade vote of 650 be deducted from Mr. Turner's total, it brings it down to 833. Mr. Oliver has no need to be ashamed of the result of his first appeal to the electors of Victoria. Ten hundred and thirty votes is a fine endorsement for a candidate whose only fault was that he was not well enough known, and all who desire to see the Mayoral chair released from the bondage of the freaks who have occupied it for the last five or six years will hope that Mr. Oliver may see his way to persevere, in which event he may rest assured that the position for which he made a manly struggle will yet be conquered. As to the election of Mr. Morley, it can be regarded in no other light than that of a calamity. His return evoked no enthusiasm, and while he has a certain following among the less responsible members of the community, he does not, and never can, possess the confidence of the property owners, the people who have to vote on money bylaws. His election means in effect, if not in intention, that Victoria for the last few months has been marking progress at too great a rate, and that for the next twelve it will mark time. Such a result can only be deplored, but experience leads The Week to conclude that no other condition is possible. There is one gratifying feature in connection with the election in the return of three new and enterprising men for the Council in Messrs. Bannerman, Sargison and Langley. It is also a matter for congratulation that the Sooke By-law was turned down. The next year may well be spent in obtaining reliable data with respect to all the water projects which have been noted, and by that time Victoria will be ready to purchase water by the gallon from the Esquimalt Water;^rks Company, and that Company will be able to supply it, and then for several years, exit the water question. CHURCH GOING In the multitude of councillors there is wisdom. With respect to Church going this is true, since a Daniel has come to judgment, indeed two Daniels. The first is the eminent Babbi Adler of Xew York, who, whatever his religious belief, is so distinguished and accomplished a man, that his opinion is entitled to the highest respect. He says that the chief explanation of the present day laxity in Church going is due to the intellectual inferiority of the men who fill the pulpits, and that the congregations have found them out. He urges all who are engaged in the sacred calling to equip themselves more efficiently and especially along the lines of the Humanities. This statement is so exactly in line with the opinion expressed by The Week that no apology for quoting it is necessary. The Eev. Stanley Aid preached a very thoughtful and timely sermon on Sunday last at St. John's Church on the same subject. The first thought which strikes the casual reader is that it is a thousand pities Mr. Ard does not always write his sermons, for the oue in question is so consecutive and lucid that even the Philistine might well wish for more, and it reminds one how Jew men, even preachers, are now-a-days able to stick to their text without being held to it by a manuscript. Mr. Ard's contention is that latter-day indifference towards Church going is due to a gradual loss of the sense of worship. Few people will be inclined to disagree with this conclusion, but Mr. Ard did not carry the argument far enough; his historical research detailed a number of facts more or less interesting in their detached form, but it may reasonably be doubted whether, to give a logical conclusion, they have tended to diminish the worship spirit. It is rather a strange argument to put forward that John Wesley by exalting the importance of preaching and by concentrating attention on the preacher, was helping to diminish the sense of worship. It seems that such a suggestion is completely answered by the experience of the great Founder of Christianity, Who exalted preaching above every ministration, Who attracted men of all ranks in their thousands to * hear His lesson, and Who commissioned His disciples to go forth and preach. If the exaltation of the preacher had been likely to diminish the sense of worship, or to divert men's attention from the true spirit of worship, it is hardly like that the Founder of Christianity would have apotheosised preaching and laid it upon His followers as tlieir chief mission. Mr. Ard will permit the reminder that the message today is the same message as the early preachers were authorised to deliver, and he will pardon the man in the street for concluding that the fault is neither with the message, nor altogether with the people, but it may have something to do with the manner in which the message is delivered and with the personal equipment of character evinced in the graces of humility, sincerity, unselfishness, devotion, self-denial and charity, which were the conspicuous equipment of all the men who have been heard gladly, even by the common people. INTERFERING ALDERMEN Mr. C. H. Topp has forestalled The Week in announcing that the work of his department has been seriously handicapped by the interference of Alderman Hender son. Mr. Topp has stated his complaint specifically and it is therefore unnecessary to say any more. The matter rests between himself, Aid. Henderson and the ratepayers. Unfortunately, however, there is another Alderman who should be coupled with Aid. Henderson in this connection, and who may yet be called upon to defend himself for having noutralised the good work of the most important spending department of the City. The gentleman referred to is Aid. Fullerton. The attitude taken by The Week has been fully justified in the resignation of Mr. Topp and his outspoken endorsation of its charges; it is greatly to be regretted that he could not see his way to take the step earlier but in any event there is reason to suppose that the day of aldermanic interference with the heads of departments has gone by. ANOTHER SURPRISE The election to the Mayoralty chair in Vancouver of Mr. L. V. Taylor over Mr. C. S. Douglas, who was running for a second term, is hardly less of a surprise —though one may well hope that it may be less of a catastrophe—than the result of the Victoria election. Mr. C. S. Douglas, during the past year, has proved himself one of the best mayors which Vancouver has ever had. He fulfilled his duties and played his part of chief magistrate of the principal commercial city of British Columbia most worthily, and it would have seemed only reasonable and fair to have allowed him a second term. Vancouver has not often in the past been fortunate enough or wise enough to select gentlemen for the office of mayor who were either dignified or useful. Mr. Douglas has been both—but Vancouver wanted a change. To his successful opponent, Mr. L. V. Taylor, as a fellow traveller on the thorny path of journalism, The Week extends its congratulations. He is a first class fellow personally, both courteous and obliging, and probably his gravest fault is the revolutionary rubbish which he allows other people to frequently insert in the columns of the publication which he has so ably handled in other respects during the past half-dozen years. Of his capacity for public administration we know nothing, but we wish liim luck and a good judgment, for the average municipal council which gets elected in the Terminal City is anything but a pleasant body to handle. TRUE PUBLIC SPIRIT The Nelson Daily News has once more exhibited that public spirited enterprise which long ago placed it in the front rank of British Columbia publications, by issuing its regular Annual Review of the progress of mining in this Province, and the general development of the Kootenays, during the past twelve months. The mining department has been prepared and compiled by Mr. E. Jacobs, the well-known and energetic secretary of the Western branch of the Canadian Mining Institute, and the best equipped man in the Province for dealing with such an important matter as that of our mining industry, which is more than double the size of any other industry in our borders. To both the Nelson Daily News and to Mr. E. Jacobs The Week extends its cordial congratulation on the capable and adequate rendering of a great and lasting service to the people of British Columbia. AGRICULTURAL MATTERS During the week commencing 31st January, Victoria will be in evidence in all matters pertaining to Agriculture. On Monday, the 31st January, a meeting of the Secretaries of the Agricultural Fairs and Associations of the Province will take place. The main aims and objects of the Convention are to arrange about the securing of Judges for future Exhibitions so as to compile a circuit tliat will enable fairs to be held on dates not conflicting with others situated in the same district. Other matters pertaining to the more effective carrying out of the Annual Exhibitions throughout the Province, will be considered, and no doubt, as a result of such u conference, much good will .iccrue to the advancement of Agricultural Fairs and Exhibitions in British Columbia. On Tuesday, the 1st February, and the following day, a meeting of the General Farmers' Institute will be held, when all proposals, resolutions and matters for important consideration will be placed on the agt'ida and finally dealt with during the Convention. This Institute is representative of all the Farmers' Institutes throughout tbe Province, and all matters pertaining to Agriculture and the betterment oi ohe present condition of the farmer are laid before the conference for consideration and decision. It is anticipated that many of the Institutes are furnishing their representative delegates with proposals to submit to the Convention and which, if carried out, cannot but have the best results for practical operation. On Thursday, the 3rd February, the Annual Convention of the B. C. Dairymen's Association will be held, and on the following day, the B. C. Stock Breeders' Association will be in session. A good programme has been prepared for both of these meetings, and many interesting and valuable lectures will be delivered by well- known authorities on all matters pertaining to Agriculture. Nothing succeeds like success, and it is evident that the knowledge disseminated throughout the proceedings of these gatherings cannot but have the best possible results in the further advancement of the Agricultural Industry throughout British Columbia. The C. P. Ry. Co. are issuing special excursion tickets at single rate, and the opportunity afforded the people from near and far to combine pleasure with business in coming to Victoria during the Convention, is one not often offered the public. It is to be hoped that many will avail themselves of the chance to hear some first-class practical addresses and will also seize the opportunity to take part in the discussions which will follow. Full information and particulars of the Conventions can be obtained from R. W. Hodson, Secretary- Treasurer, Department of Agriculture, Victoria, B.C. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1910 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1910 Corner At The Street ^ _________ p By THB LOUNGER C As I gaze thoughtfully out of my window and ponder on my subject matters for this week, my eye is caught by the somewhat unseemly condition of Trounce Avenue paving just outside the C. P. R. Telegraph side-entrance, and just inside the iiyn posts which run across the Govern ment Street entrance to the Avenue. The paving is worn into a hollow which collects the rain, and retains it when thc other parts are dry. The result is an eye-sore in the most conspicuous portion of the city. I have heard this particular spot called "The Hub of Victoria," and it is certainly the most popular rendezvous for street politicians. Thc stranger within our gates passes and re-passes it a dozen times a day, and cannot fail to be surprised that ''The City Beautiful" permits such a state of affairs in such a prominent place. I admit that this is only a question of beautifying, and that there is more urgent work needed elsewhere, but I fancy the improvement needed would take neither much money nor much time. The Lounger begs to call the attention of the new Council to this matter. * * * By the way it is a curious thing that at least ninety-nine per cent, of the people who have occasion to name this connecting link between Government and Broad Streets, invariably speak of it as "Trounce Alley," though it is distinctly written up on the wall as "Trounce Avenue." The popular idea that an avenue must be sheltered with trees on either side is wrong. It usually is so, but in point of fact the word "avenue" simply means a means of approach, particularly with reference to a "short cut." An alley is a low-class avenue and bears much the same relation to its better bred brother that the phrase "young person" does to the word "lady." The two latter are both women, but—there's a difference. * * * I have always been somewhat of a democrat and one of the finest things in this country is the fact that it doesn't matter what a man does so long as he is honest and pays his way. That is the theory and it works out as fact in almost any occupation you can think of, but there is one exception. A white man may not be a public boot-black; he may clean his boots and shoes at home, provided that he does so surreptitiously and none of his neighbours know of it, but he must not work for hire in* this respect unless he hails from the land of the Pope, or from Ethiopian climes. In England white folks clean boots, and foreigners wait at table in public restaurants. Of course I do not wish to be understood as making a bold statement and not admitting certain exceptions. What I have said is the general rule. I shall never forget my first experience in a. Canadian hotel; it was in Winnipeg and I had put my boots out at night to be cleaned; (of course I call it "shined" now). Early in the morning I was hauled out of bed by a somewhat irate bell-boy who refused to deliver my foot-gear until I had handed over ioc. I then realised that in other countries there are other customs, and I never forgot the lesson. * * * Have you ever noticed that there are some people born with a sort of constitutional disability to shut a door? I know of dozens, and it is not by any means because they really want the door keeping open. One man of whom I am thinking will invariably enter his room, settle himself down, and then, usually with a muttered exclamation which doesn't look well in print, rise and shut the door with a bang. I know a restaurant in town the latch of whose door is in a faulty condition. Consequently every fresh arrival or departure necessitates the proprietor in his own interests and those of his remaining customers, getting up from his place and carefully closing the door. He wastes more nervous energy in this way during the day than could be compensated for by the saving of the cost of a hundred new latches. Of course we all know the individual who never shuts a door on leaving another person's room. He is nothing short of a criminal and should be ostracised. I remember my headmaster once characterised such an one as "a weak-minded fool," an observation which somewhat lost its point inasmuch as his own initials were W. M. F. and for some unknown and utterly undeserved reason he was popularly known as "the weak-minded felon." * * * This sort of characteristic puts mc in mind of another very common one, only this applies to families rather than to individuals. Some households never seem to have proper "I am prescribing C. Carnegie & Co.'s Swedish Porter in my practice and find it much superior to any other preparation of a similar nature." This unasked for testimony of C. J. Ringnell, M.D., a leading physician of Minneapolis, Minn., U.S., regarding Carnegie's Porter should be well noted by the people of British Columbia. Another fact that should be dwelt upon: Carnegie's Swedish Porter not only passed the severe analysis of the Pure Food Commission, but it passed with high honors. Most of the leading medical men of the day recommend in your home for your wife and family. YOU should drink this pure Porter during the winter season; it will save YOU many a doctor's bill. Have it in your home for your wife and family. Do not accept an inferior porter. If your grocer cannot supply you with the genuine "Carnegie's"—which is Brewed and Bottled in Gothenburg, Sweden,—kindly Phone us and we will give you the name of a dealer who handles this best of all Porters.

Paterfamilias always writes his letters in the office and so there is no one to create the necessary fuss without which no improvements are ever made. When some other member of the family desires to write a letter, pen, ink, writing paper have all to be collected from different parts of the establishment. When the ink pot is triumphantly produced from some bedroom where it has been made to do service in lieu of a tailor, just to ink over a little hole in a black coat, it is discovered to be empty, or if made from powder, to be dry. When that defect has been remedied the only pen to be found is out of commission because the youngest boy has been using it as a dart. A box of nibs is finally unearthed, which are made to do, although they don't suit that particular writer's taste. It is a moral certainty that even if writing paper is ready to hand, there is a shortage of envelopes, or vice versa, and by the time that everything is in order to get down to business, why, I suppose you know what I am going to say, it is too late for the mail. It is little habits like this which bring children up with a strong disinclination to acknowledge Uncle John's Christmas present or Grannie's five-spot sent for a birthday. I know because I have been there. Letter-writing in my home was indeed a test of love, when I was a small boy. I was never provided with implements of my own till I went to school, and other people's were always where they shouldn't be, and the state of the family blotting paper was indeed a lesson in practical economy. Just so long as there was one little spot of pink on the latter it had to be kept in use. * * * And yet we were allowed butter with our jam. The comparative cost of butter with jam twice a day and of enough clean blotting paper to keep a small boy's annual correspondence clean may be worked out by those of you who enjoy statistics and mathematical problems. Personally I hate them.

A Sure Investment No little excitement was created in the local speculative world this week by the return of Andrew Gray, President of the Marine Iron Works from the California oil fields. Mr. Gray went to California at the instance of some of his friends who wanted him to look over the holdings of the Canadian Pacific Oil Company of B. C, Ltd. Mr. Gray is Vice-President of this Company. After ten days spent in California spent in the fields, Mr. Gray sent this message to one of his friends in Victoria:— "Bakersfield, California, Jan. ioth, 1910.—Have been over the oil fields. Am well satisfied with my investment in your Company and 'he prospects ahead which are better than represented to me. (Signed) Andrew Gray." It seems that everybody who contemplated investing in shares in this Company was awaiting Mr. Gray's return, and when he arrived in town Friday afternoon he was literally besieged with inquiries. To all Mr. Gray advised immediate investment. "This is good enough for my money," said Mr. Gray; "it is about the biggest thing I ever saw." Stock in this Company is selling for 25 cents per share yet, and in the opinion of sure investors, it is a buy up to and including par, one dollar. Caught "Pshaw!" exclaimed Miss Yerner, impatiently, "I'm sure we'll miss the first act. We've waited a good many minutes for that mother of mine." "Hours, I should say," Mr. Slow- man retorted rather crossly. "Ours?" Oh. George I" she cried and laid her blushing cheek upon his shirt front.

Published at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER 1208 Government St., Victoria, B.C. W. BLAKEMORE, Editor "LeRoiLeVeult" BY BOHEMIAN That the forms of the British Constitution are amongst the most conservative things in the world has never been disputed in this progressive age, and the old Norman French with which the Royal assent is given to bills that have passed through both Houses is an example in point. But I was not thinking so much of the King of England when I chose the above as the heading for this article. I was thinking more of the kings and queens who are met with in almost every family on the American continent. Who. is it that rules the household? The father may think he does, and occasionally when he comes home in a bad temper, he may be allowed to have his own way for once in a while; but for the most part he is merely the hired man, who has to pay for the hiring and do the bidding of those for whom he works. The mother probably thinks that she is the real sovereign of her little kingdom and so she is when she can prevail upon her colleague to administer the oft- threatened thrashing. But the real potentates are the children, nor is the reason far to seek. They are the victims of unlimited spoiling and are allowed their own way too often for the sake of peace and quietness. Few things do more to ruin a child than threatening without fulfilling; he quickly learns how far to go without any serious results, and in his inmost heart really has a slight feeling of contempt for the person who apparently thinks that authority can be maintained by words and not by deeds. Nor is the evil confined merely to the homes; it finds its pernicious way into the very schools themselves. It takes a good deal of moral courage to chastise a child, when it is known that the result will be the immediate appearance of an irate parent, who will not hesitate to use abusive language and sometimes resort to force to show that he thinks a teacher is nothing more than a paid hireling, whose only business it is to teach certain subjects, and who has no right to any feelings of self-respect. In the good old days a child was sent to school to be taught not only reading, writing and arithmetic, but also a proper bearing to .those placed in authority over him, and many a parent would give his son an extra thrashing if he heard that he had received one at school. The life was a hard one for the boys, but it turned out the men who built up the Empire. The village dominie was a tyrant, and often not a very just one; he ruled, not with a rod of iron, but with a ferrule, which served the purpose far better. Often he was not conspicuous for his erudition, and he could never have passed the Normal examination with its multitudinous excursions into subjects of which he had never heard. I remember reading one of these Teachers' Examination papers once, and this was in England. It was set for applicants for posts in the Board Schools, which correspond to the public schools in Canada. One question has always remained in my memory. Having given the number of pupils in the room, the dimensions of the room, the size of the window and the temperature of the outside air, thc question went on to ask how high the window should be raised in order to ventilate the room properly. Now. of course, there was too little hygiene in those days, but surely that was rather a ridiculous question. Our old dominie could never have given the correct answer, but I am prepared to guarantee that he could tell whether tl.c 100m was too stuffy or too cold He might not want to change the atmosphere as often as he should have done, but whenever he so desired, he could do it without having to go into abstruse calculations on the matter One of the brightest signs of the times is the effort of the present Lord Mayor of London to re-introduce the old system of apprenticeships. Thc apprentices had no gay time while serving their indentures; when they could read, write and cipher they were bound down for seven years and their master was in absolute control over them. They had to be in bed at a certain hour and likewise to be out of it. Everyone has read "Bar- naby Rudge" and will remember the iscendency which the locksmith's apprentice obtained over his fellows because he could make latch keys for his colleagues. But at the end of their time they were skilled workmen, not Jacks-of-all-trades, and could earn ood money as respected and respectable citizens. How often is it the case today that a man will say that he started life in one profession, left that and entered another, and so on till he says at the end "I've been pretty nearly everything in my time!" But such an one is not thc successful one. And this chipping and changing is due to the fact that in childhood self control, self denial and steadiness of purpose ire not instilled when the mind is plastic and ready to receive impressions which will take root. No, "Le Roi le Veult" is the motto of the present day parent, and the child it is who is monarch of all hc surveys. That Foul Betrayal Bruce in Saturday Sunset accuses the Similkameen Star and the Hedley Gazette of betraying the Similkameen by not following his lead in the recent election campaign. ""Not havins the practice in turning sharp corners with the lightning rapidity of the Sunset, the Star and the Gazette shouldn't be expected to follow the lead of a paper that in its issues of.October 23 and 30 and November 64rranaged to steer its course respectively north, south and west. Judging from the way the vote went, the Similkameen didn't take the betrayal of the Star and the Gazette to heart any more than they did the jeremiads of the Sunset, and that was not at all. The word "discredited" as used by the Starr, over which Bruce was disposed to get nasty again, was really about the only single word in the English language that properly described it.—Similkameen Star. MUSIC AND THE STAGE fmm T •_] ,_M> liiiiliiii ■■ :H lllllltll 1 H Bernard Daly, at the Victoria Theatre He had a most successful season and was hailed a worthy successor to the immortal Joe by newspaper critics everywhere. Last season he starred in "Rory of the Hills" and successfully. But he dreamed of a romantic story of old Ireland, in which he would be the fun-loving broth of a boy, and it grew and developed until it matured into "Sweet Innisfallen," a comedy drama full of love and romance, sorrows and sunshine. The scenes and action take place on the Island of Innisfallen" in the beautiful Lakes of Killarney, where the scenic artist can display his talent and "The Fairies' Glen," "The Ruined Abbey," "Fairlawn," and the green fields and mountains of old Ireland. Mr. Daly feels not a jealous throb at the success of individual members of his company; he delights in it; he feels he owes it to his patrons to give them a first class performance and that can only be accomplished by first-class dramatic people. None other will be found in his support. With a complete outfit of scenery from footlights to back wall, this lad —now a man grown, from a New England City, but with a heart, a voice, a brogue, and the wit of old Ireland all blended in "Barney Daly" —will be seen at the Victoria Theatre 011 Monday, January 11, in his new play, "Sweet Innisfallen," under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus. This is the simple story of the boy who could do things and do them well. New Grand Theatre The big act at the Grand next week will have seven girls taking part in it, the head of the performers is Bessie Valdare and she will present her six "pony" cyclists in an act hav- 7 he merchants of this good burg of ours if ave plenty of enterprise.

The act contains a number of ensembles all classed as very pretty pictures. This act is said to have all other .bicycle acts backed off the boards for grace and skill and will be a feature act here next week. A new and original act for the entertainment of those who go to the Grand will be Alfred Jackson, the popular poster cartoonist. He will draw a number of pictures with crayons on the stage and include a number of local people. He is said to be able to catch a likeness instantly. Gilbert and Emma Craig are a musical pair who will use cow bells, sleigh bells, dulcimer and freak pipes for harmonic purposes. Although they use these old instruments they will produce excellent music. A most graceful clog dancing act will be given by Miller and Mack. Tlieir style is both buck and wing and the clog, the latter having a good deal of eccentric dancing in it. They are hilled as the best in the dancing line. Thomas J. Price will sing "The Sailors and Soldiers of the King" and there will be two wordless absorbing dramas shown on the moving picture screen. A Personal Letter to the Members (Past and Present) of the Victoria Musical Society Dear Sir or Madam,—I beg to inform you that the Jomelli, Hamlin and Kreisler concerts each entailed loss upon the Society. To thoroughly test the musical and public feeling in Victoria, the non-subscription seats were offered at exceptionally low prices. The result was most discouraging and the position is so serious as to merit the earnest consideration of all music lovers. My personal opinion of the situation is that if we really wish to hear the world's great artists in our own city we must: (a) Pay more for the privilege—or, (b) Personally invite our musical friends to subscribe and thus reduce thc individual cost per seat,—or (c) Abandon our efforts and go—as in former years—to Senttle or Vancouver for our music. The New York Symphony Orchestra, which carries sixty performers and a vocal quartette under the leadership of Mr. Walter Damrosch, will cost $2,000 to bring here, and $500 only has been subscribed. Unless an additional $1,000 is raised by the 28th February, the concert will have to be abandoned. In order to raise this sum the committee has decived to offer seats to members and theirs friends as follows:—125 five-dollar seats at $4.00 each; 125 four-dollar seats at $3.00 each; 70 three-dollar seats at $2.00 each. If you wish the Orchestra to come here will you make a point of inviting your musical friends to sikn the form and return same to me as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, GEORGE PHILLIPS, Director. Here and There Referring to the hot air being circulated by the British politicians at the present time, and especially to certain knights calling Mr. Ure a liar, a calculating liar, and a d—d liar, the Halifax Chronicle says: "We have done pretty hot campaigns in Canada, but we are glad to say we are a long way behind the Old Country in the use of personalities on the platform." Heavens, that's enough to make a man swear. The Chronicle evidently has a meaning of its own for the word. If Mr. Herald says of the grit party that it is corrupt, and Mr. Chronicle retorts by saying 'You're a liar,' how much of a personality is there there. Why, in one single province there is more dirty linen spread out than in a campaign all over Britain. What was said against Ure was said against him as a politician. In this country it is said against the man. The sins of his youth, the failings of his mature years, real or imaginary, are held up before an audience. On this side a man's private life is not sacred, in Britain it is.— Maritime Province Record. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS How It Happened Lady—Poor man! So you are ,ij,.t out of jail? Tramp—Yes, mum.

A kitchen where a gas stove is in use is always tidy, should be spic and span. Quick as a wink you have your fire without trouble of building—turn off the gas tap and it is out; drudgery, worry and money saved. The lower oven in a Gas Range is a wonder-worker for roasts and broilings; juices of the meat aro retained; both sides of a steak are broiled in four minutes at a trifling expense. With coal half the juice is lost, the cost is one-third more and the inconvenience, dirt and worry can never be figured. There is great comfort, too, in good Gas heat. Without any bother you can quickly warm a cold or chilly room or hallway with a Gas Radiator or Gas Grate. There may be some particular room iu your house that you cannot heat easily with a furnace and impracticable to use a wood or coal stove. This difficulty is easily overcome with a Gas Heater. In any room gas imparts a healthful warmth and cosiness at minimum expense. No smell, no smoke, no dust, no work, but all heat where you want it and when you want it. No fear of fires from over-heated flues for those sensible people who cook with gas. You are most cordially welcome to visit our showrooms whether you desire to purchase or merely to look. We will gladly explain the many advantages of gas for cooking and heating purposes. The Victoria Gas Co-, Ltd* Corner Fort and Langley Streets Victoria, B. C At the Street Corner By the lounger (Continued from Page 2) fairly easy to go up to a man and ask for a loan of $500; if you don't get it, at any rate you haven't lost your self-respect; but, oh, the horrors of trying to borrow a miserable little quarter. Immediately you became anathema, maranatha, and all those other things which strike you with additional terror because you don't quite know what they mean. I have screwed my courage up to the highest pitch to try and ask for a car-fare, and have finally walked in preference, but I have not the slightest objection to ordering a suit from my tailor, the price of nearly a thousand car-fares, and I don't even promise to pay him tomorrow. * * * Again, why is it perfectly permissible to ask a man if he has the price of a drink, provided you know him well, but a degrading thing to ask for the price of a meal? There is no reason for it, but you know that it is so. If you meet your friend he won't think any the worse of you if you say: "I'm dead broke, old man; have you got the price of a couple?" But tell him that you haven't eaten for twenty-four hours ,and he'll begin to think that it's time for him to break away. You may write to him in a lordly way and inform him that as you are in the neighbourhood you would like to spend the week-end at his home, and he'll welcome you with open arms; but tell him that your landlord has kicked you out for arrears of rent and ask him to put you up for the sake of charity, and that's a very different coloured horse. You may raise a few thousands on a mortgage when you are on the verge of bankruptcy or for speculative purposes, and the world, regards you as a man of property; but let the world and his wife see you coming out of the pawnbroker's minus your watch, and your dinner invitations will fall off in number. * * * Truly it is a quaint world and full of contradictions and its ways will never be understood, from a logical point of view by Ofri Sightseeing With Reservations Out of the Grand Central Station the other day came a couple the sight of whom caused citizens who saw them to admit to themselves that there might be, after all, some basis of truth in the "Uncle Josh" jokes of the allegedly funny papers. The old man grasped his carpet-bag and bulging green umbrella firmly, and looked up and down the street, his mouth agape. "There's a heap 0' sights in New York, I guess, Maria," he said. "I misdoubt if we see them all." The old lady's mouth set grimly. "Wall, Silas," she replied, and her manner was more than significant, "bein' as I'm with you, there's some, I expect, that you ain't goin' to seel" SKEENA LAND DISTRICT District of Queen Charlotte Take Notice that I, F.

THIS PROPERTY IS SITUATED WITHIN THREE - EIGHTHS OF A MILE OF • THE HOLDINGS OF THE CANADIAN PACIFIC OIL COMPANY OF B. C, LTD. Andrew Gray, President of the Marine Iron Works of Victoria, who was deputized to go to California and look over the property of the Canadian Pacific Oil Company of British Columbia, Limited, is back in town, most favorably impressed with his observations. As soon as he came out of the oil fields and struck a telegraph station he wired the local officers of the Company as follows: * Bakersfield, California, January 10, 1910. " Have been over the oil fields. Am well satisfied with my investment in your Company and the prospects ahead, which are better than represented to me. " Signed—Andrew Gray." This speaks volumes. If you care to know anything more about the property of the Canadian Pacific Oil Company of British Columbia, Limited, stock in which is now selling for 25 cents per share, par value one dollar, fully paid and non-assessable, call Mr. Gray on the telephone. These shares will be 50 cents in a few days. The Canadian Pacific Oil Company of B. C, Limited ROYAL LOAN AND TRUST COMPANY, LTD., Fiscal Agents 638 VIEW STREET, VICTORIA, B.C. _________
