No. 20 KAISER WILLIAM 1 LABOR UNIONS AND PICKETING 1 TELEPHONE C01TY [interested in a Young German Count.���������Young Nobleman Makes Success of Business (Standard of Empire.) ��������� The latest stocy of the German Emperor has a Greater British iside to it, aud reveals William II in the light of the paternal friend 'of three young German noblemen who started life without adequate means of keeping up the appearancces essential to their rank in Germany. Ten years ago the Kaiser delivered to a private gathering at Neugatten.leben Castle, Count Alvenslebeu's family seat, a speech which is now published' for the rst time. After unveiling a memorial to the late countess, his Majesty called to him the three sons and gave tliem an address containing the following:��������� ''My dear boys: I should like, as the friend of your family, io give you a straight talk in memory of your mother, whom I respected so highly. Your late mother, I may say, was an angel. You are the descendants of an ancient and noble family from which many celebrated statesmen, brave generals, and other distinguished men have come, hut I know all the members of your family have a careless vein in them. Remember, your father experienced misfortunes, so that your financial circumstances are not such that you can take life easily. You must make your own way in the world, and :he motto 'Noblesse oblige' must be your guide. Give your fellow- loblement a proof that it is also possible to be noblemen in poverty. ;". need such men; my son, when Im succeeds me, will need them still nore. Do not live beyond your means. Give me your hand on it." The three young couuts thus admonished emigrated to Canada, where they have become highly successful business men. They are ^he proprietors of the firm of Alvon von Alvensleben, Ltd., established in Vancouver and Victoria. The Emperor takes a special in- 'erest in the firm and rejoices in the success that his proteges have " ieved in business. 1 He would, doubtless, have been even better pleased if the young hen"could have achieved similar success in a German colony, rather ban a British Dominion,.but there are no countries under the Ger- nan flag which offer the same opportunities to the enterprising as [lay be found in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand." It is also reported that "recently the German Emperor in a -peech spoke feelingly and with evident pride of his enterprising [bung subjects, pointing to them as striking examples which young ierman noblemen could contemplate with profit.

PURE JUL*. Every citizen of Vancouver should interest himself in securing . adequate supply of pure milk for our city. This journal has re- Isatedly pointed out that the class of milk being used in Vancouver n this we are uo worse than other cities) is very inferior. It is txpure and often adulterated. If some fiend in human form were to kill an innocent and help- fis infant, the whole city would be horrified and enraged at the Krpetrator of the crime. But each month a number of these same ilpless little creatures are sacrificed to impure milk- Why? Be- tuse the Provincial Government refuses to act, claiming that it is e business of the Dominion Government. And while these two ane, party-prejudiced administrations are scpiabbling about the >stract side of the question, the death roll increases. When is it )ing to stop? When will the public learn to protest against this ���������olonged inaction. This question has been urged before the Pro- ncial Government many times, but there is nothing being done, is imperative that some action should be taken at once, and it ight be a'dvisable for -individual eitizensto .support the repeated quests of the civic officials for action on the part of the Govern- tent, by personal letters to their local representatives. ���������We.want the power in Vancouver to inspect all milk coming to the city and to deal with the whole question, and further, we ant the Provincial Government to inspect and regulate the \iries operating throughout the Province. The following is a clip- hg from an English paper, showing that this question is a live ;e in other parts of the world as well as here: ADVANCES TO LAND SETTLERS. i "The Agricultural Bank, of Western Australia, which makes ��������� ,vances from Government funds to settlers on easy terms, reports tot applications covering an amount of $1,882,125 have been ap- joved during the year for the purchase of stock and implements, r effecting improvements, and for discharging old liabilities." In last week's issue of the Call we suggested that the Govcrn- ^nt of Iii. C. could not do better than to formulate a scheme liereby advances could be made to bona fide settlers to enable them \ get a reasonable start as farmers. ) If Western Australia can afford to advance a sum almost equal two millions of dollars, surely British Columbia could manage advance a few hundred thousands, which would be a decided jom to settlers. There is room here for a statesman to do some practical work, pick would be of lasting benefit to his country. .

LAND SURVEYS. 1r One of the most imperative needs of British Columbia is to ve the unoccupied lands surveyed and properly described, so that [tiers will be enabled to select with some reasonable assurance of rmanency. It is true that the Government has numerous land sur- rors working in different parts of the. Province, but their work 'not systematically tabulated so as to be easilv available to the blie. . ��������� There is no place in Vancouver, for instance, where a person !get information regarding public lands. Such a situation is urd. To get the information one is forced to go to Victoria. icouver has one-third of the total population of the Province, yet lot. in the Government's eyes, of sufficient importance to have a i office. Not only should we have a land office here, but also a eau of information carrying all the Government literature. This lid be of distinct advantage to strangers. ��������� The recent decision of Justice Goff of the Supreme Court of New York State, is of far-reaching significance. Justice Gofl has issued a permanent injunction restraining peaceful picketing. He characterizes picketing as a "common-law, civil conspiracy," and he claims that "what employers may not do, the workmen may not do. If a combination of one to refuse'employment, except on condition of not joining a union, be against public policy, a combination of the others to cause a refusal of employment, except on condition of joining a union, is alike against public policy." This injunction is the results of action taken in connection-with the now famous strike, of the International Garment Workers' Union of New York. The proposition of the strikers was, "that the manufacturers should agree, in employing help in their various mechanical departments, that as between union men.and non-union men, of equal ability to do the job, the manufacturers would employ union men as long as union men are obtainable, and the strikers themselves suggested that the employers.might reserve the right to discharge for incompetency or misbehavior. The strikers asked merely that the employers take some binding pledge 'not to'discharge any one for his or her affiliations Avith the union.' '* Surely no fair-minded man will say that this proposition is unfair or in "restraint of trade" or "inimical to public interests" or "against public policy." Nor will the average impartial'observer claim that picketing, if peacefully carried outj comes under any of these headings. Unions are a natural consequence of the remarkable growth of the past century. The introduction of machinery into every branch of the manufacturing trades, has resulted in large numbers of men being employed in similar capacities and as a natural sequence these men will have mutual interests, common grievances and corresponding difficulties. Again, the same rapid expansion of manufacturing industries has lent itself to the amalgamation of interests, where a single executive officer-"will control the actions and destines of hundreds or thousands ,of meifT It is impossible for any individual, -however willing ,he may be, to keep in touch with each employee and know his merits or his grievance. And in view of the fact that the interest of one is likely to be the interest of all, it is preferable to deal with the general conditions through a chosen committee than to deal with each case. So it will readily be recog- .nised that, a " union "vis;thje best possible m^;}J5im through which an employer may deal with his employees. -/..,. ,-.,i It is arrant nonsense to talk of abolishing the union.. It is as unreasonable as to .expect to have good government where each individual would follow his owu desires. ' - There is only one possible explanation for the sometimes expressed desire on the part of employers tp abolish "unions," and that is, that it is based upon a desire to reduce all workers to the position of subservient dependents, instead of intelligent, independent citizens. Some even openly contend for a state of society where a certain class shall control and all others eternally serve. Happily this sentiment is dying out aud the spirit of democracy is taking its place. It is true that the union will sometimes err. Have we ever seen or heard of an organization of men which did not make mistakes at times. But what we contend is that existing conditions make "unions" not only natural but highly desirable. It might further be stated, that having admitted that a union is desirable, it is only reasonable to assume that there will arise disputes between the employer and his employees, the union, and where you allow the employer to replace his strikers if he can do so, it is certainly fair and reasonable that the striker should have the right to dissuade others from taking his place, providing that only reasonable persuasion is used, especially is this permissible where those who are.taking theplaceof.the strikers are brought from a distance, not knowing the conditions into which hei is being''"introduced:" Picketing is simply a system whereby the strikers are enabled to advise other workmen of the conditions and thus win their support. As a matter of fact, we must confess that, while occasionally union menhave been guilty of questionable practices, they are usually driven to it by the presence of troops of soldiers or other means of force, so often resorted to by employers. No self-respecting man likes coercion, and yet this is the first ery of the employer, a request for troops, anticipating damage to his property^ It is really simply "daring" or "challenging" the striker, and invariably results in violence. A general recognition of the "union" and its proper control would go a long way towards industrial peace. This lias been proven by experience in the past, and it is vain to suppress such movements, for their suppression will result in their greater activity, only perhaps under aggravated circumstances. Meets SIXTEENTH AVENUE TRAM. "Recommended to Council that the B. C. Electric Railway Co. be requested to construct a double track line on Sixteenth avenue from Oak street to Main street; and providing the company agree to construct said lines that the Council guarantee not to pave the street or ask for permanent tracks for a period of five years." The latter part of the foregoing resolution called forth a bitter protest from Aid. Stevens at the special Council meeting last Monday. He thought such a proposal wTas preposterous, and roundly condemned the principle of binding future councils from making improvements. In his opinion1 the time for the B. C. Electric to object to paving was when it was proposed and not seek to prevent legitimate improvements. It was nothing less than a hold-up, and moved that the last clause be struck out. Aid. MePherson seconded it. claiming that the proposal was contrary to the agreement the B. C. Electric had with the City. Aid. Whitesides strongly objected to binding the City in any such way. Aid. Hepburn supported the reoemmendation, claiming that the Company would not do it if we did not agree. The mayor also favored the B. C. Electric, stating that Mr. Glover had told him that the only chance of getting the London office to agree was to guarantee that no permanent work would be done for five years. He stated that the desire of the committee was to protect the citizens and not to help the B. C. Electric. He suggested that it be allowed to pass. Aid. Ramsay, as usual, wanted more time to consider the question and get solicitor's opinion. Aid. MePherson raised an objection that it was out of order as the meeting was a special one, and the matter went over for the next meeting. with Opposition.���������Company's Solicitor Pro- ��������� "Big Stick".���������Some History Related duces At the special meeting of the Council called to consider Alderman Stevens' suggestion '���������that the B. C. Telephone Company be asked to construct conduits in section of City bounded by Granville, Hastings, Beatty and Pacific strets/' the Company did not meet with quite as much support as it would have liked. When the question was opened for discussion, Aid. Hepburn, the first speaker, stated that the cCompany was only seeking to comply with the wishes of the City by removing the poles off.the streets and placing them in the lanes. He thought the permission should be given and no opposition made. The City was anxious to get the poles off the streets and now some of the aldermen were objecting. He. thought the request reasonable and should be granted. Mr. W. A. McDonald^'ex-city solicitor, now the solicitor for the company, appeared for]the company and stated that what Aid. Hepburn had said represented the position of the company very nicely. He would point out7|o the Council that there was, an agreement with the City defining>;where conduits should go, and this section was not included. The B. C. Telephone Co. was willing to live up to the agreement, but if the City insisted on the company installing conduits, then the poles would simply remain where they were, namely, on the streets. Aid. Stevens, who was\ responsible for the whole question being brought up, then spoke in suport' of his motion. He pointed out that the recommendation of the Board of Works authorized the company to place new poles throughout that district bounded by Hastings and Pacific streets and Granville and Beatty street. He was opposed to this permission being granted for various reasons. The City was spending $1,000,000 on Cambie street bridge, and $500,000 on an overhead bridge from Georgia to Harris, or thereabouts. Large blocks were rapidly being built in this section and it was becoming a very congested centre, and in his opinion it was an opportune time to install a conduit system. The company claimed that they had au agreement, and there- fore the City should not ask for this. In reply to this, the Alderman from Ward Five pointed out that the company was making the change in any case, so it was no hardship to ask them to put in. a modern system. Then, he further stated, that recently the City had been obliged, to pay $1,500 to remove two poles off Granville street, and on the advice of Mr.'McDonald, then eity solicitor, but noy appearing for the company, theireason the .City was forced to pay was because t^^^ location. Now they proposed to authorize the installation'of a thousand poles, not one of which could be moved six inches without the City being forced to pay the bill. Under no consideration would he agree to any proposal which authorized poles to be placed in that section. Aid. McTaggart supported the proposal for conduits, but suggested that the agreement be amended to meet this. Some History. Aid. MePherson then took part in the discussion by relating some, interesting history. He stated that many years ago when the B. C. Telephone was composed- of a number of separate companies operating in different parts of the Province, they desired to consolidate their franchises, which was accomplished in a very adroit manner, demonstrating them to be past-masters in the art of of diplomacy. They waited until an election wras over, and then engaged an ex-member, of high standing, to pilot their special bill through the house, which he accomplished with such success as to give the B. C. Telephone Co. a charter containing seme of the most sweeping powers any company ever had. The company still had the same acute faculty of diplomacy in that they had chosen Mr. McDonald, the ex-city solicitor, to act for them in the present case. Aid. MePherson pointed out that the present agreement with the company ...would ,..enjtV.j.u.. another _ycar,_and_h suggest that if the telephone company would not come to time, that the matter be allowed to remain for a year, pending the expiry of the agreemeut. Mayor Supports Conduits. Mayor Taylor, leaving the chair, said: "I agree with Aid. Stevens in this telephone question, even if I do not in the other ease. I believe that this section should be served with conduits. I am in favor of the conduits now, if possible, but if the company do not agree now. then. I say, let it stand over for a year as suggested by Aid. MePherson." Aid. Ramsay also agreed with the. suggestion for conduits. It was referred back again to the Board of Works for further discussion with the company. THE GREATNESS OF THE MAN. Early one Sunday morniirg at Battleford an eight-year-old French Canadian hoy climbed the steps of the Premier's saloon car as it lay in the station siding, and knocked at the door. His knock brought an attendant to the door. "What is it, my little man?*' he asked. "Please, sir," the lad replied, producing a miniature kodak, "will Mr. Laurier come outside and have his picture took?" The Premier was absent, The attendant took the boy in, regaled him with chocolates, and ascertained that his name was Pierre, and that he had got a camera for a birthday present, and wanted to take his first picture. Half an hour later the happy boy carefully poised the kodak, and snapped the tall, smiling gentleman, who stood patiently on the track for several minutes while the juvenile photographer "got it right." Little Pierre secured first hand what scores of correspondents and local photographers have been struggling for weeks to obtain. ANGLO-SAXON COURAGE. One of the most remarkable expeditions that have ever set out from England will leave in November next to attempt to carry the Union Jack by motor ear all the way from Capetown to Cairo, a distance of more than 6,000 miles. The journey is expected to last four months. That they may be four months of almost irftredible hardships and dangers is acknowledged by the members of the party. Hundreds of miles of unexplored country will have to be crossed, and the party will be exposed night and day to attacks from hostile natives. The party, if the bearer-boys exchanged from time to time he excepted, will travel alone. The members of the party will be only four in number, and each will carry his life in his hands. The two principal members of the party will be Mr. B. J. F. Bentley and Captain R. N. Kelsey. I krl t-^ - ���������< ���������?.=.;:- - THE WESTERN CALL.

This scheme is the outcome of the establishment of the Imperial general staff at the war office, by whicii it is sought to create a uniform system of military training throughout the entire defence forces of the empire. The present arrangement of the selection of Major-General Colin Mackenzie, commanding the Sixth Infantry Brigade at Aldershot, as chief of the general staff of the Canadian defence forces, was yesterday followed by the official announcement that General Mackenzie will be succeeded in his command by an Oversea officer, Colonel H. P. Davies, of the New Zealand defence forces. Colonel Davies is already in Aldershot getting a grip of the work which he will shortly be called upon to undertake.

"A guileless man, with no evil in him, is, of course", slow to see evil in I others, and this doubtless accounts { for the fact that a policeman passed the gambling den on Sixth avenue twice an hour for many weeks. Doubtless, he noted, that there was an unusual number of persons gathered together there, but perhaps he thought rhey were learning tatting or engaged in some uplift work. The incongruous mixtures of white, black and yellow men wouid be to him explainable on the theory that the meeting had something to do with foreign missions, and this pardonable delusion would be heightened by observing that a certain man took a sack of money from the meeting place to the bank every day.

PETTIPIECE NEW LINK WITH CANADA. f By the sailing of the Thomson liner Fortuna from Southampton for Canada a new departure was marked in the history of the port, and another link formed in its chain..of-communication with the Dominions beyond the seas. Hitherto there has been no direct service between Southampton and Canada. The Fortune only left the builders' yard six months ago. She has a tonnage of nearly 9000 and accommodation for over 1000 third-class passengers. The service will be a monthly one, but it will be made fortnightly if the experiment: proves successful.. The passage from London to Quebec occupies ten days. -PENSIONS FOE RAILWAYMEN. The Hon. C. G. Wade, K.C., Premier of New South Wales, has secured the passage of his Bill establishing a superannuation fund for railway and tramway employees in the Government service. The maximum contribution, which is compulsory, is 11-2 per cent, of the wages or salaries of the beneficiaries. The pension is at the rate of 1-1 (> of the average salary for each completed year of service, and is payable at the age of sixty after ten years' service. In the event of death or voluntary retirement before the pension is due, the contributions.are refunded. A special allowance will be made to officers Hearing sixty without ten years' service. The Government iwll subsidize the fund annuallv to the extent of about 15,000 pounds sterling.���������"Standard." -mri-in-���������rrn r-tri-rnrtTnrT"rirniTiriTiHitr.<jr<iwii urim I NEW ZEALAND LAND SETTLEMENT. According to the annual report of the New Zealand Crown Lands Department, during the year ended March 31, 1910. no fewer than 2582 stetlers���������making with tlieir families a total of 8.000 souls ���������were placed in occupation of-land in New Zealand. The total area opened for all classes of applicants was 2.32G.037 acres, and the total area disposed of was.2,431,1.43. The area taken up b.v settlers was greater than in 1908-9. when, in turn, the figures showed an increase on the previous year. There are at present under survey 1,354.048 acres of Crown land and 156.837 acres of native land for settlement. ROOSEVELT. The political situation in the United States at the present time is a. most interesting one to observe from the outside, but undoubtedly a very trying one to those who are in tlie midst of it. Ex-President Roosevelt is the central figure. He, is of much more importance than President Taft. In fact. President Taft's position is anything but an enviable one. He occupies the .chair at the White House, but in reality is only holding a second''place to the ex-President. It is almost amusing to note the efforts of'Mr. Taft to maintain his position and authority with dignity. In the recent dispute regarding the temporary chairmanship of the New York Republican Convention, the committee had chosen Vice-President Sherman, but "Teddy/' wanted it and immediately, with remarkable alacrity, the President disavows any connection -whatever with the appointment of Sherman and asks that Roosevelt be appointed. Roosevelt is touring the country in the interests of clean polities. He roundly denounces allthe modern tricks of finance which defrauds the people. He is, in fact, a better Democrat than 90 per cent, of the members of that party. Wherever he goes he receives a tremendous ovation and is always the centre of attraction. Roosevelt's chief effort now is to introduce direct nomination in place of the present system of primaries, thus giving the highest form of representative government. ^ _v- That ex-President Roosevelt is honest in his campaign cannot be doubted, and whatever may be one's opinion of him as an agtiatoc- and self-advertiser, Ave ai"e forced to admit that his influence is usually for what is in the best, interest of the people as a whole, and not for any class privilege. k ;"��������� ._ \ -^-The milk problem is one which has commanded the attention of the governing authorities of almost all civilized communities. It is of vital importance in Vancouver. The Provincial Government has been urged and pleaded with to deal with the subject or to give -power to the eity to do so. Up to the present nothing definite has been done and in the meantime much "filthy" and "adulterated" milk is daily being delivered in our city and children are dying in numbers each-month. There are two u:ain sources from whicii impure milk come; first, the dirty, unsanitary dairy, and secondly, there is the perfidious wretch who deliberately adulterates the milk. The former is the result of carelessness, the latter, malicious and criminal cupidity. The former Can be.lessened and perhaps entirely overcome by education, and much'could be done to facilitate tliis at comparatively small expense. , The Chicago J'Journal of the American Medical Association," of August 13th, tells us that the moving picture fever is to be utilized for the purposes of education along this line. A playlet illustrative of the injuries resulting from impure milk is--r������ preparation and will lie exhibited throughout the country., The following is an. excerpt : - . "Camera men have Veen snapping unhygenic farms to this end. The first scene represents the son of an old-fashioned, bacteria- despising farmer- returning to tlie old homestead with his wife and little boy. The filthy eowJnmis. the open pails of milk receptive to dust and flies are depicted with unsparing realism. The son, who has imbibed wholesome education in hygiene protests passionately against the old order, but in vain, whereupon the young couple pack their trunks, leaving the old farmer in tears over the deserted baby- carriage of his grandson. The rural scene is thou changed to an urban one. The formerly happy home of the old farmer's son" is grievously distrest because of the baby's illness. The family doctor shakes his.head and. pointing to the milk-bottle, indicates plainly the cause of the illness. The grief-stricken son writes to his father (letter flashed, on the screen), who comes in haste, and finds, to his great anguish, that the bad milk" has come'from his own farm. Emotional climax! The play, however, ends happily: the farmer's barns are shown repainted and wonderfully refurbished, the- cows washed, the dairymen in white suits presiding over now impeccably sayiitary functions. The little patient? Evidently the family doctor has" done something more than shake his head; for, miraculously- restored to health, the little boy, held by his repentant grandparents, watches with interest the hygienic proceedings. Such a representation ���������might amus'-'"Llie highly intellectual, but it should certainly be of value in reaching''that part of the community which would'take it seriously and which would be impressed by the scientific lessons embodied iu it." A similar effort wouldTK>t be out of place in and around Vancouver. A WONDERFUL BIRD. . One, day a wonderful bird tapped at the window of Mrs. Nansen's (wife of the "famous Arctic explorer) home at Christiania, says "Truth." Instantly the window was opened, and in another moment she covered the little messenger with kisses and. caresses. The carrier-pigeon had been away from the cottage thirty long months, but it had not forgotten the way horns. It brought a note from Nanscn, stating that all was going well with him and his expedition in the polar region. Nansen had fastened a message to the bird, and turned it loose. The fraU courier darted out into the blizzard/ air. It flew like an arrow oyer a thousand miles of ocean and plains and forests,, andone .morning entered the window of the waiting mistress, and delivered the message which she had been waiting so anxiously. THE GREAT CRUSADER. Although moralists and historians have repeatedly told us that Richard Coeur de Lion was not a good king, that he left England to look after herself���������and mighty badly she did it��������� yet there can be very few Englishmen who have not a soft pla.ee in their hearts for the memory of that most hereoic of the Plantagenets. Although so much romance still clings to his name, probably not one in ten thousand Englishmen .could tell you where he lay buried���������till the other day.-. For now some one has discovered in the crypt of the French Abbey of Foute- vrault graves and bones that are conclusively proved to be those of Richard, Henry II., his father; Elea- SALT RIVER. One of the strangest rivers in the world is the Salt River of Greece. Instead of the river flowing into the sea, it flows from the sea far inland aud disappears in the limestone rocks and sinks into the earth. People have often wondered what becomes of the water constantly "flowing inland and becoming lost to view, but it is probable that an underground channel carried the water back to the sea.. So far as is known, there is no other place in the world where the waters of the sea flow inward through a regular channel. NEW LINE TO AUSTRALIA. An important development in the Australian passenger trade took place on Tuesday, when, at Belfast, the steamer Aeneas was launched. This vessel, of 10,000 tons gross, is the first of three similar steamers, and she has been built to the order of Messrs. Alfred' Holt and Company, of Liverpool (the "Blue Funnel Line"), and will inaugurate a new passenger service to and from Australia. A distinctive feature of the new service will be that one class of passengers will be carried, namely, first class, and provision of a very generous nature will be provided on the steamers for no fewer than 300 such passengers. Fishguard will be the embarking and disembarking port in land for the passengers.

We scarcely think that anyone will dispute us when we say that Judge Mabee, chairman of the Railway Commission, is the most respected and popular judge in Canada. And we also feel quite ' safe in saying, without fear of contradiction, that the Railway Commission is also the most potent and useful court in the Dominion. To attend a session of this tribunal is to be thoroughly convinced of these two facts. . ���������'.��������� The essential features of tliis court are. freedom from"red- tape" and promptness of action. The rustic farmer with his-little complaint regarding rough usage of his milk cans by the railway employees or with a grievance for the loss of a pig or a cow, is accorded just as courteous and patient a hearing as are the great trans-continental railways with a retinue of K. C.'s and expert engineers. Formalities are brushed aside and the court sits as_a committee to investigate complaints. All are permitted to speak who are directly interested and who have something to say, but any who talk for talking's sake receive scant courtesy. The commission consists of two, sometimes three commissioners, who listen patiently to both sides of the question. Judge Mabee is, of course, the central figure, and. with remarkable precision he arrives at the exact point which, perhaps, one of the applicants has been laboriously, trying to explain, or it may be that it is an astute K. C. who is endeavoring, by skillful agrument, to so complicate the issue that a weak point in his case shall pass unnoticed, but rarely does any such ruse succeed. It is quite common to hear Judge .Mabee ask. after listening patiently for fifteen or twenty minutes to a lengthy but obtuse discussion, "if so and so is not the point they really mean to state?" and then it is amusing to witness the apparent confusion of the lawyer. But the leagal fratrnity are learning it is useless to use the common subterfuges of the profession, and as a rule they come directly, to the point.'having a wholesome dislike to being "shown up" by those penetrating interrogations of the chairman. As stated, there is no "red tape" at this court. The applicants usually gather around the desk of the Commissioners and spreading 7)ut "their ina]is"aiifI plans eift at issue. Lawyers, farmers, engineers, merchants and all classes are; often in the snme crowd. If one wanders from the point or repeats information given before, be is soon brought to time with. "Well, we have heard all that once, we don't forget what we hear," or some expression of the kind from the chairman. During the recent session two railway companies made an ap-, plication for an order to confirm a certain agreement between them. "Have you agreed?" asked Judge Mabee. "Yes. my lord." replied ji dignified K. C. "Where is your agreement?" comes quickly from thi' ehairina-n. "Oh. it's just- verbal aud we, an: asking you to order accordingly." came the response from the K. C- "You cannot gel an order here. Put your agreement in writing so (hat we ni;;vJcno\v exactly what it is." (be judge replies. And 1he great railway lawyers retire.- knowing that the remark of the Judge is "common sense." Tn Ihe ;':>p]ieaiion of (lie City of Vancouver for bridges over Ihe Civ at Northern cut (lie Commissioners listened lo the city solicitor, an alderman, (he eity engineer and (wo school trustees on behalf of (lie city and (he railway solicitor ami engineers in 11m interests of the railway, and without a remark pro o iron, .Judge Mabee briisouelv asked the railwav solicitor. "How soon can von get those bridges built, for built th ev must he?" " Bv Ihe end of 1911." came the reply. "What! P������y the end of 1011 ? They will have to go in sooner than that.'' remarks the chairman. Seeing that opposition was useless-the. company engineer said. "We will file the plans in thirty days and commence construction within six months." But Judge Malice ^1 ill has something fo say and remarks as he writes the order: "Plans to be filed within thi rtv days and bridges to be, completed Nvithin six months," with emphasis on the "completed within." knowing that it was necessary to set a definite time. And so this tribunal proceeds, disposing of more intricate problems \n two or three days than the a vera ire law court would take as many months to clear off. and the most gratifying feature of the whole thing is that everyone is apparently satisfied wilh the justice of the tribunal. The people of Canada could well afford to forgive fh epresent Dominion authorities for their many sins if for no other reason than that ihev had established (bis most commendable medium of adjudicating disputes between railways and the publie. and in appointing a man as chairman of such eminent abilities as Judge Mabee. TRUE CULTURE. Th. Bishop of Carlisle when preaching to the Manitoba teachers, said: "People go to the theatre to see over-dressed, bedizened people in bad paint, but they never stop to look at a daffodil in the valley. Any sort of pigmy-trained creature can see an aeroplane fly or a farce on the music-hall slatre: but the test of greatness is the comprehension of little things." ��������� ��������� ���������m ��������� -rhitf\ h I I: I THE WESTERN CALL VANTjQ���������"5-������ iriii ���������WESTKKN CALL.

"Last summer I visited the Pacific coast, and there for the first time since my experience in Chicago some seventeen years ago, I had the opportunity of examining the automatic sys- tem in operation in Portland, Oregon. It was rather a novel expenence to be or rather hear them, being made in that exchange of about eight thousand lines and to see the connections, throughout the room, with practically no one in attendance at all, and reason that it is one of the best and most expensively constructed systems that 1 have ever visited." "In the large majority of cases the j defects are discovered and rectified before the subscribers concerned are aware that such trouble have existed. "The advantages rightly claimed for automatic telephones are numerous. Of course the most important one is that of dispensing with the need of operators at the exchange, not only in effecting a large saving in operating expenses, but also by solving the 'girl' problems in the exchanges, which involve training the girls, their leaving the service abruptly when trained, operators suitable for the work in the necessity for resting rooms in the exchanges, etc. These problems, together with the difficulty in obtaining certain localities, have frequently been the deciding "factors in determining the adoption of an automatic exchange. There is also the further important advantage that, in the aggregate, much,' time is saved in the automatic method of connecting, and more especially of disconnecting, subscribers, which admits, among other things of the use of a lower percentage basis of apparatus and of trunking circuits. It is also.evident that the percent- clination to listen to the subscribers conversation. * * *. ' ��������� ��������� As-j? result of a wide investigation of automatic telephony in the United States and Canada, I can confirm the claims made for automatic telephony by its advocates as to its popularity with the general public where it is established, especially-that basic feature of the age which enables the subscriber to make his own calls with. out the intervention of an operator." This is concurred in by all engineers present. See proceedings, American Institute of Electrical Engineers, New York, February 11th, 1910. Their Favorite Poet*.

'C: Dear Sir,��������� Responding to yours of the 19th, will say tbat we find tbe Introduction of two telephone systems to great advantage in our worts, and most of tbe institutions of tbe city report favorably cm tbe proportion. 1 am con- matic system, was that from their ex perience they preferred the automatic system to the manual system, on account of its certainty of conveying the signals, and not giving the wrong numbers. Another point, which was new to me,'and which''was first made known to me by a subscriber who was an electrical man and had an automatic exchange system connected with his residence, was that occasionally a lineman came looking for trouble on the circuit before the subscriber knew that there was any trouble. It appears tbat In the exchange, instead of waiting for trouble to be reported from the outside, tbey locate the trouble on the line from the exchange and remove it promptly before the subscriber is aware that there is any trouble. Another interesting device connected with the system, which was called to my attention, was the meter for registering tbe calls. It appears tbat In some of the cities on the coast the franchise requires that tbe telephone system must be on a meter basis, that is, that the subscriber must pay by the number of calls. The result is that the companies are Obliged to meter the system, and the meter not only registers completed calls, but it discards "service" calls and discards calls tbat are not completed, so tbat telephone, and the repitition from voice to voice accounting for much of this confusion. There is perhaps no greater single cause of annoyance Obedient Child.���������The curly-haired little sprite of the house came running to her father in the study and, throwing her arms about his neck, whispered confidentially in his ear; * "Oh, papa, it's raining!"

This fact has been proved beyond a peradventure by scores of unanswerable cited facts. Ephrairo, in the days of the Ten- Tribed nation, represented the "House of Israel," as differing from the House of Judah. And of Ephraim-Israel it was foretold that in the latter days-he would rule the world, that he would push the nations to the ends of the earth, and that he would be the light carrier to the human family. Britain is Ephraim-Israel, and therefore the divinely appointed light car rier to the whole world. England has from the beginning of the Christian era to this hour been the leader in the true evangelization of the world.

The council, however, affirmed it. The ambassadors appealed to the Council of Constance, A. D. 1419, which confirmed the decision of P isa. This was again confirmed by the Council of Sena, and then acquiesced in. This decision laid down that the churches of France and Spain were bound to give way in the points of antiquity and precedency to the Church of Britain, which was founded by Joseph of Arimathea, "immediately after the passion of Christ." So then, long before Rome sent Augustine and his monks to Britain, the Gospel had been carried over to this Ephriam-Israel land, but Paul and other Israelites carried the Gospel to their brethren in Britain, just after the crucifixion. Britain is Israel. Israel is the di- THE WONDERFUL WORLD BENEATH YOUR FEET. Many a boy living on a farm or in what he thinks a humdrum village, reads of snowcapped mountains and great gorges hollowed out of solid rock by the constant action of a flowing stream. He hears perhaps of railroads Whose'beds are cut through bowlders and ledges, showing in the cutting the different formations .of the rocky walls. If he is interested in geology, he sighs for a glimpse of these wonders, and thinks a bit enviously of the boy who lives where he can study these things at first hand, never dreaming that ��������� just as wonderful things are lying' close beside his own doorstep. How about these stones out. in-the south meadow that must be laboriously hauled away before the plowing can be done? Where do you suppose they came from? Who put them there? Why are they rounded and smooth? And where im-your neighborhood is there any bed of rock from which they could, have been broken? These stones which are impatiently tossed away as nuisances, have a history quite as wonderful'as that-of the canons and granite masses of which you(Jiave been reading. Suppose you pick up one of these cobblestones and try to learn, its story. Boulders, we are told, are lost rocks which in by gone days have broken loose from some parent ledge and been carried by the action of the "slow moving ghacier or running water from its melting or other sources, and left stranded in some distant sy>ol. That stone from the field has the same history; it was broken from some far distant ledge centuries ago, and, toss- e'd and borne along, rounded smooth by the action oE the water, it has come to rest at last in your field, so far from its original rocky ledge that you could probably never find where it had first belonged. The little stream in the meadow is going through the same processes of hollowing out a pathway that the mountain torrent has taken. The hills, the woods, valleys and level land are all carrying out nature's laws; every leaf aud blossom holds a romance. You''need not go far afield to learn the story of the earth; it is being told all about you, on every.side. If you do not hear its voio������ it is only because you do not understand, and have not learned to use your eyes and your thoughts in considering the common things of the everyday world that lies beneath your very feet. speaking very favorably of the durable 11 nature of the structure. This is a river wharf and was designed and carried out seventeen years ago by the writer. At that time no other reinforced concrete work of that, type was known, and it was regarded as a pioneer in that kind of construction. The substantial nature of the work, after seventeen years' test, and the opinion of the inspecting engineer, that it will probaby be as sound at the end of one hundred years as it is now, will give interest to the following description of the work. For several years the timber wharves belonging to the city of Rockhampton, although built of the most durable hardwoods of Australia, with Aluntz-inetal overing to the piles, had been subject to the ravages of the teredo. One costly wharf literally collapsed and fell into the Fitzroy River-, having been undermined by the well-known marine scourge whicii had i honeycombed the supporting piles. As a protective measure, the. device was adopted of driving piles on the | front line of the wharf, and inclosing these piles in monolithic cement concrete. The rock forming the bed of the river was excavated to form two grooves into which the concrete is tied. This.concrete fron^ waif is also tied to the land by piles driven into the river bank behind connected with wrought-iron rods 1% inches in diameter. The main piles are in couples at 10.feet distance longitudinally, on which are bolted upper and lower walling timber^ to stiffen the initial limber structure before inclosing it with the cement concrete. The latter was composed of 6 parts of stone gravel, and sand to 1 part of Portland cement, and laid successfully within a sheet-piled and canvas curtain. The concrete was mixed and filled into a canvas bag, and lowered down to the bottom, with the mouth' of the bag^ downward, loosely secured by a cord, one end of which reached to the work- j man above water. When each bag of concrete reached the bottom, or surface of concrete work in progress, by pulling on the cord, the concrete was gently discharged while the bag was slowly hoisted from its'" resting place. By this method the mixed concrete was laid 18 feet below low water without washing out the cement. A return wall at each end was constructed in a similar manner, of reduced, dimensions, to carry the wall to the land arid shut out the tidal water from the back of the work. The space behind was then filled up with earth and gravel, and a itimber decking laid on top to carry the traffic. Cast-iron fender pieces were fixed to the front of the wall, which thus presents a surface of indestructible materials to the river front. The advantages of this new method of wharf building were claimed to be the following: Entire protection against the teredo, a substantial structure with a minimum thickness of concrete wall, secured* by the hold of the driven 'piles in*the rock and the tie rods to the solid land at the back. Also the avoidance of the objectionable spaces under" the old form of timber wharves which harbor rats and filth; and a premanent structure at little more than the cost of timber structures.

These are the two most startling facts emphasized in a special appeal to the public issued by tne National Association for the Prevention of Consumption. The terrible point about the whole tiling is that this deadly scourge is not hereditary, but infectious, and could be stamped out in a generation if only the public would realize the awful death roll- and the heavy loss the diseases means to them". Although these facts have been placed before the British public again and again they have been slow to move, arid apparently regard the ravages of the disease with Orientallike indifference. "It is the will of Allah,' might well be the explanation of their attitude, and while it is so there seems little chance of ridding the country of the "white scourge." The association are appealing for funds to educate the nation out of its indifference into action. It is to be hoped that they will succeed in their object, and that rapidly. As matters stand, every year 90,000 lives and $40,- 000,000 are lost solely through the inaction and indifference of the people. * THE * * f- V <3> I I I I I��������� Acme Plumbing & Heating Co.
