It  is  '<V..e U* -attempt to  bnrke  the fact  and  the  only  reasonable   attitude  :.i  to  dispassionately consider  the  causes which have contributed  to  an adverse verdict and to lay their '  lessons  to  heart.   The   Week  has  always maintained that the govern  ment should have settled the ques-  tion-of.:the uniYersity site.     Such a  jnatter. lay   distinct'y   within     its  prerogative and within, its ordinary routine, business.   The^magni-  tudco.f the question did not in any  benso) li'f i; it into another plane.. If  the government had dealt with the  matter--no-.doubt there would have  considerable- conflict,      and      the  subject would lhave-been settled in  the political arena, but this-hardly  constitutes   a valid  objection-     to  the constitution a Imethpd-of. procedure, which was followed when-a  matter, o^t^east^ equal, if not of  greater importa.nfe^v-^?,dealt with  xiz., the  location of  the^^pTa'rlia-  rne.nt  buildings.   To   this      extent  LheiVy'eek believes that the govern  ment .showed some we-.> ;ess  and  vai  -bian-ioworthy,   Luc,       unlof-  tunatciy the- comfnittes which represented Victorian interests, show  ed -eve.-, greater weakness, and instead of  contenting      themselves  with ���������&   very   aTole  'Statement    of  the  cas,e for -the'-.Capital City/,-it  stepped entirely outside the^imiits  of :1|heir .-authority .in  euggesting  that the .'question beidjealt -\vith\by  an  independent, commiss-ion.  Such  a suggestion furnished the govern  ment with an  easy  method  of a-  voi.ding ,a ' complicated  and '    disquieting problem, and it made it  impossible for Victoria to raise any  re.a,:^niab!o   protest   against      the  decision;.  It seems to the     Week  ih-.it  this  action  on   ilie .part      of  the   Victoria   committee   puts   the  city i:mlire!y  out   of   court,      and  there in absolutely nothing to  do  but to accept the verdict with the  "he   be.';'.  tlie country.

It is estimated that the value  of the eggs laids in the United States 1909 was 500,000,000.

Antiquated methods could never have  kept up with the 'wonderful expansion. The old-fashioned oi.'. "anip  is almosf: as much out of date for  hatching purposes as is the hen its  self.

At MI ton,- Sept. 28, Judge. Gor-  ham, of Haltoh, delvered judgement n' th'e' license appeal case.  John Tnanor, of the Stration hotel,  Georgetown, was fned some time  ago by two Georgetown mags-  trates for selljng liquor in quanti-  te's greater than .cine quart at a  tmie-. Two detectives- swore that  thai; 'they -"had asked Tranor's bartender to sell them 'four bottles  of a\e\ >in quarts, but he had refused, rto give them more than one  each, 'butiftold them to go out and  coma back and he would 'sell them  another bottle each. They got  one each, settled, stepped on .the  vera,ndah> returned in a minute or  so and-got and paid f jv the second  bottle each. The judge decided on  .this evidence that there was no  connection between the two sales  and quashed the conviction with  costs -to   the   appellant.
