Preparations had been under Iway by the Victoria brethren for months, and each ['member of the committee that had the nrrange- sments in charge must feel gratified at the-success-. ji'ul manner in which every feature in connection .with the day's proceedings was carried.-out. The weather was all that could be desired; Tlie sun shone with all its, brightness, but the heat was ���������tempered with the balmy breezes from the bro/id . [Pacific, and tlie brethren made the long march [without any .discomfort. The brethren were [around earlv in the morning, and the two lodges, [.Victoria L. O. L. No. 1426 and Premier L. 0. L. [No. 1610, were, opened at ten o'clock. Bro. S. C: 7 [Court was in the chair in 1426, and in the absence [of the AV. Al. of 1610. the chair was taken by )the deputy master. Bro. J. C. Scott. A number [of the visiting brethren were at these meetings, some from Seattle. Wash., and a number from (Vancouver, who came over on the afternoon boat fin July llth. At 10:30 tlie lodges adjourned and the brethren marched down to the E. & N. station Ito meet the special train carrying the brethren I rom Nanaimo, Duucans. and Ladysmith. These jrethren were escorted to the hall, and then au itdjournment was made for dinner, with the understanding that the brethren would meet at the II P. R. dock at 1:00 p.m. to meet the large contingent from Vancouver, that was coming oyer on (he Princess Charlotte. At 1:15 the Princess Kharlotte steamed in with a record crowd. Every loot of space on the boat was filled, and it is estimated that there were 1,800 on board.. As the jlifferent lodges came off they were placed in posi- -on by the Grand Marshal. Bro. W. H. Trowsdale, [hd the procession marched up to the hall,. Ayhere few minutes' rest was taken before lining tip for lie march to the grounds. The parade was then |,jrmed up under the direction of Bros.

Jjast Monday evening (he new famous ''whitewash" report "of'.the majority of the investigating committee was presented to the City Council and was promptly tabled. One member of the council characterized it as "an insult to the council to bring in such a report." .Another said "It was a farce and had absolutely nothing in it." "A clear majority rejected it entirely. As a piece of compromising, non-committal work that report is by far the most aggravated illustration we -have ever seen. It found certain charges proven, but in each case the finding was accompanied by an apology for tlie "mistake" on the part of the official. The report concluded with a clause to the effect that "notwithstanding our criticisms and'recommendations, we must not lose sight of.the long and faithful services of the Chief, etc. * * * We fully appreciate the fact that lie is human and is liable to make an occasional mistake like the rest of us. * * * "< Oue would conclude from this that there was some, ground of common interest between the poor, ill-treated chief aud the kind, tender-hearted committee. Here i,s another illustration: Referring to the charge that the chief had appropriated for his own use a boiler and tank belonging to the city, which had cost the city upwards of $130, the committee says, "We would suggest that the chief be requested to return the same to the city." Or, in other words, "We hope you wont be offended. Chief, but perhaps, you know, it might be as well to just; well, you know, Chief, why simply put it back, because some of the ignorant public might not understand that you had a right to it, etc., etc.," Not very long since a lad of 14 or 15 years of age appropriated to his own use $3.85 which belonged to his employer. He peddled milk for a very small wage, and for his awful offense got three'years in the, reformatory. Had, he been a year older he .would have been sent to the 'peni- ' tentiary. Another fellow takes an overcoat belonging to some one else, he gets a couple fof years to think it over. But an official with a fat salary can appropriate public property and is complimented byji civic committee for his honesty a������d made the object of sympathy by the chief magistrate of the city, and those who had dared to question the action arc branded as "rascals," "scoundrels," and guilty of "outrageous tactics," etc. Referring to the chief, the mayor said "lie should be congratulated for h.iving such a clear record. We owe him a debt of gratitude." Evidently the chief was satisfied to discharge that "debt of gratitude" Avith boilers, tanks, etc. - The whole report was along this line and constituted a complete apology for the chief's "mistakes." The council rightly rejected it. The minority brought in a report which was clear-cut and more nearly to the mark. "Charge 1, res wrongful use of chief's auto, proven. Charge 2, that unwarranted favoritism was shown Seagraves, proven. Charge 3, that aerial truck was experimental, proven. Charge 4, that said aerial truck7 was not worth money paid for it, proyen.

Jordan and Lieutenant Stephens Tvvore directly responsible. We also find J. A. Enright. V. Porter, A. 'IT. Alexander guilty of serious misdemeanors. We also find that Deputy Chief Thomson was aware of these breaches of discipline and took no action to deal with them." When this report was introduced it was moved by Aid. Williamson and Crowe that report be received. Then commenced a battle royal in wits and parliamentary procedure. His Worship was constantly in consultation .with-one or the other of his faithful"henchmen. Aid. .MacPh'ersoh, En- bright and Ramsay. He generously ruled everything in order that came from tliat quarter and everything out of order which came from those supporting, the minority report. Finally, when everything was at a deadlock, and when the previous question had been moved, and while Waiting # for His Worship to make up his mind whether-to put it or not. Aid. Ramsay came to the rescue with the startlingly ridiculous contention that the minority report was New Business. The mayor hastily jumped at this way out of his dilemma and ruled that it was New Business. This decision was so absurd that practically every one present laughed outright at the idea that a minority report could be new business, but it soon became evident that such an extreme absurdity as this was not too much for His Worship and he stuck to his guns. When asked for the authority for his ruling, he promptly replied that Aid. Ramsay was his authority and refused anything further. The majority of the council were thus forced to allow the matter to rest for two weeks and satisfy themselves with putting in notice of motion, which was done. , The following is a copy of the motion which will come up at next meeting and will no doubt be.-'passed: .<���������'" "That, whereas, according to the report of Aldermen McMaster and Williamson and according , to the evidence now before us, a copy of which has been,in the hands of each alderman for some, time, and whereas the following charges, Nos. 1. 2. 3, 4, 6, 9, .11 and 12 have been -proven, and the following not proven. Nos. 5, 8, 10, andd charge 7 partly proven. Be it therefore resolved that this council ..in Tegular-meeting assembled, orders':. (a) That Chief Carlisle be censured by the council and that the city comptroller and storekeeper be instructed to at once secure the return to the city of the property wrongfully appropriated by the ehief. (b) That Deputy Chief Thompson be severely censured and reprimanded for not enforcing the discipline and for his unbecoming conduct as an officer of the brigade. (e) That Capt. Jordan and II. Stephens, of No. 5 .hall, be discharged forthwith. (d) .That. Firemen Alexander, Porter and Enright be reprimanded. (e) That the services of Auto Expert King be dispensed with. / (f) That a standing order be now made that in future auy employee of the department who brings liquor in any quantity or allows same to be consumed in any fire hall or who allows questionable characters to frequent same, be discharged for just offence. REPLY TO CRITICS. Some of our critics have been so persistently purblind to the facts regarding the Fire Department investigation that it seems to be necessary * to make some public statement in order that the actual truth may be known. We. will deal first with the criticism of the Saturday Sunset in their.issue of July, 15, 1911. The editor of that journal states that VThe net 7 resultTof the investigation of Aid. Steven's charges against the fire department is a three thousand dollar, bill for stenographers' services, and absolutely nothing but what could have been dealt wit?'*��������� !i'i one session -of the Fire Committee." With8 reference to the cost of the investigation: This was authorized by the Fire and Police Committee themselves. Aid. Stevens had never suggested that counsel be secured. This suggestion was made by a member of the committee absolutely independent of him. As to the contention that the regular committee of council could have dealt with the charges, we simply point to the attitude of the majority of that committee. The origin of this investigation was in objections raised by Aid. Stevens in the regular council meetings, which were ruled out of order by the mayor and made the occasion of a bitter attack'on his, the mayor's part. Subsequently these objections were published in the Call in the form of definite state- ���������"���������nients. -These were brought to the attention of the Fire and Police Committee and in place of any attempt at making an inquiry the chairman indulged in a personal attack upon Aid Stevens, calling him a "liar," a "cur" and a "yellow '.^Jf9.Sfl7: Tit was then jip jo the Yt^epresentatjye <>f 7 WardV. to make good, which he has been able to do. Practically every charge has been proven to the hilt. The Sunset then states that the.boiler and tank wrongfully taken by the chief to his private house was only worth about $15. ������ The voucher for the boiler, on file in the city hall, shows $130 as the purchase price. The tank was taken off a chemical engine and no definite valuation placed upon it. The boiler was as good as new and-was only removed from its place because it was too high to allow of its flues being" ���������properly cleaned. It carried 140 pounds of steam when removed and was in first-class order. Then the Sunset' gets off this: "Why. did he not take the story of-misdoings of No. 5 Hall to the proper authorities? * *-.* There is no doubt, and no one may assert otherwise, that had Aid.'Stevens'; gone like a gentleman lo the chief' he would have dealt effectively with the matter." ��������� The facts are that similar disgraceful scenes were enacted at the headquarters, No. 2 hall, and the chief was advised of the fact and did nothing':, and further,'on.Sunday. June IS. 1011. there was a meeting held������������������ at'No. 2 fire hajl ������������������(headquarters), those attending being representatives from Xo. 5 hall who were implicated in the orgies and revels there, and a number of the men of No. 2 hall. ���������'The object of the meeting being to discuss what action . should ' be taken to" keep tlie disgraceful sceues of their two halls from being brought up-in the investigation. Deputy Chief Thomson was in an adjoining room aud was consulted.by.the men as to the best course. He advised the men to wait upon Aid. Stevens and throw, themselves on his mercy and ask that, nothing be done about," it. A committee"-was appointed to do this, but before this committee saw--him* the matter was brought out in the investigation on tbe following Tuesday evening. The Sunset playfully characterizes the revels at these halls "the peccadilloes of a few high- strung young fellows in the mood for a lark." AVe cannot see it in this light. Firemen who are allowed to "lark" while on duty cannot be de- cipline it is often necessary "to make examples of those guilty of misdemeanors. Aid. Ramsay suggested that we "temper justice with'mercy." That is a pretty theory, arid quite applicable when the object of your mercy is duly repentant, but pended upon, and a'system or official which'could look upon the orgies of No. 5 as "a mere lark" is not to be trusted with the protection of the lives and property of the citizens. 'Again, "Stevens did his best to besmirch the reputations, of .private citizens." This is not true. Certain statements, definite and clear-cut, were made and in proving these statements it was shown that some parties, not exactly private citizens either, had been indulging in joy rides at the city's expense. If the citizens-are agreeable to purchase expensive autoes for persons in private or .semi-officfat positions to use for joy rides out of the city-arid to visit resorts in the city, etc., if, we repeat, the citizens wish this, we are silent. As regards the personal remarks of our friend Bruce, we pass that up, and gracefully acknowledge that Bruce can heap more abuse to the square inch upon those who dare to differ from him than any othei\man in Canada, not excepting the editor of the Calgary Eye Opener. Another of our kind critics is the World and its manager, the mayor. On July 13 this journal had the following in its editorial columns: "Long before the investU gation was brought to a conclusion it became evident that Aid. Stevens had, wittingly or unwittingly, permitted himself to become the tool of some persons who had it in for the chief. * ��������� Aid. Stevens' position is an unenviable one. Through a suburban publication of which he is editor he hurled charge after charge against the chief. He demanded, and in view of his office as an alderman could not well be refused, an expensive investigation of charges which it has now been shown rested almost entirely upon merest street gossip and hearsay." Ou May 23 this same estimable journal came out with the following,flaring headline: 'Stevens' Scalp Sought by the Council.���������A full investigation of the fire department will he made, arising out of charges,made by Aid. Stevens, and he will be summoned to appear and substantiate the charges he "made." These two statements do not agree very well, in-spite of the fact that they were published in "the paper that prints the facts." The truth of the matter,is simply this: About last April tenders were "opened re fire apparatus and because the Seagrave Co. had been allowed to split their tender after having seen the figures of other bidders, and because their tender was over $6000 higher than others. Aid. Stevens took exception to the tender. At the same meeting a proposal was made to buy the chief another new auto, although he had had a new one only ten months previous. To this alsb Aid. Stevens objected. The mayor thereupon sharply called him to order and refused to allow him to speak to the subject. Subsequently, through the columns of the Call these and other irregularities of the - fire department were criticized. These criticisms were read at meeting of the Fire and Police committee and Aid. Stevens was asked to prove his statements. The attitude of the mayor and Aid. Enright. throughout the whole discussion was exceedingly prejudiced and bitter, and it was because of this that the formal investigation was ordered. Had there been the remotest degree of ...fairness on the part of these gentlemen it is prob- ^a.ble=that^theseairregularities"could-have been rem- - edicd. The investigation was made necessary by the attitude of; the mayor and the chairman of Fire and Fol ice committee. The World says: "It has been shown that the charges rested upon merest street gossip and hearsay." The mayor and Aid. Enright and MacPherson are the only oueswho would care to subscribe to that statement. The0majority of the council firmly believe that the charges are practically all conclusively proven. Even the mayor and his henchmen admit that a good many of them are proven, only their ethical ideas are such that they see no harm in purloining boilers, etc., and contend that civic autos are meant to joy ride.in, and that a truck which was out of commission 103 days out of 167 is a splendid-success, and that although there, are disgraceful revels in the halls, the chief and deputy chief should not be held responsible," and - that $6000 extra profit is good business on the city's part to pay for a fad, and that it is (piite right and proper for Vancouver to pay officials to go ami demonstrate machinery for private companies in other cities, and so on; in fact, in their opinion, irres- spective of cost, no wrong could be. done'-by the ���������.Vancouvo.nl-fire department-officials. FINALE. The investigation is now ended. The, two reports and the evidence:- are in uth.e possession of. the great jury of public opinion, and we are perfectly satisfied to rest onr ease there, believing that the numerous,public and private expressions of approval of our. course is a complete vindication of our action in bringing this matter forward. , ii '��������� '���������' The- duty has been ;i most distasteful one and has caused considerable ill-feeling on the part of those who have been hurt, but it is impossible to expose wrongdoing without causing inconvenience to the wrongdoer. Tn performing this unpleasant task it has been' necessary to reveal conditions which, to say the least, were 'unlovely," but; these dark spots can only be eradicated by exposure to the light. Evidence was also presented which reflected seriously on the character of those implicated. This'is-a. matter for regret, but men must be prepared to suffer the consequences of their actions, and in the interest of efficiency and dis- is scarcely possible where the parties coucerned (Continued on page 4} THE WESTERN CALL For the Home Recipes.

Put the apricot jelly and the custard into a mold in alternate layers; allow each layer to become thoroughly set before adding the next. Serve with either plain or whipped cream. This looks pretty when moulded in sherbet glasses and served with a large spoonful of whipped cream on top.

Preserves, jellies and canned fruit should be kept in a dark, closet. >t the closet has a glass door it should be covered with a dark green shade. One or our readers informs us that, having seen a statement in some English medical journal to the effect that sulphur, taken internally, would protect a person against flea-bites, it occurred to him to try it as a preventive of mosquito bites. Accordingly, he began taking effervescing tablets of tartar-lithihe and .sulphur, four daily. He provided himself with several lively mosquitoes, and having put them into a widemouthed bottle inverted he bottle and pressed its mouth upon his bare arm. The mosquitoes settled on his skin but showed no inclination to bite him. If this gentleman's experience should be borne out by further trials, it might be well for persons who are particularly sensitive to mosquito bites to take a course of sulphur during the mosquito season, especially in view of the growing opinion that the mosquito is the common vehicle of malaria;'���������N.

Ought we not then to be specially kind and tender-hearted to animals and birds, and to see that the power over them with winch God has intrusted _ us, is not used to abuse them, but to defend them from unnecessary suffering? The royal moralist, King Solomon, lays it down as an axiom that an age of people which is moved by considerations of religion, equity and right will be kind to animals, and that cruelty and wickedness are always found'together. A people that are coarse and brutal in one set of relations w'ill be the same in all.'. The treatment of dumb animals is a test and touchstane of character to a much greater degree than at first appears. Those who display cruelty towards animals will generally be found heartless in their dealings with others. You can tract it in history; in the early ages the "mighty hunters" founded tyrannical despotisms, culminating in Babel; the Romans in the degenerate days of the empire, soon passed from the degrading exhibitions of lions arid ponthers tearing each other to pieces in the amphitheatre to gloat with an appetite which gradually required a new stimulus and a mightier sacrifice, over the mutual destruction of captives and slaves���������gladiators trained to fight to the death. We, living in a Christian age, find it hard to realize that men, women and children crowded in their thousands to witness the dying agonies of men wounded to death, and that delicately nurtured Roman gentlewomen helped to decide, by the upward or downward motion of the ���������:.thumb, whether the wounded should be spared or murdered in co.d blood, while /Inhuman shouts hailed the wretch who won. You know Byron's noble lines of indignant pity:��������� 7 y' 7y: "J see before me, the gladiator lie^Y And how in the second verse he touchesso infinitely sad a chord : ��������� "He heard it,.-tout he heeded riot\\ his '.eyes ������������������y.vvyy 7--"; Were with his heart, and that \yas far ,'���������'������������������ away; 7 ..''-777: 7'.

But where his rude hut by the Danube . ---lay���������--., *'���������'' There ..were his young barbarians all at play, There was. their Dacian - mother���������he, their sire, Butchered to make a Roman holiday." At last, it was the most select and favorite amusement of the Roman people, to. laugh and gloat over the death throes of Christian saints, young meri; and maideriis, children and old people, who welcomed death by being torn to/pieces by wild beasts rather than gi>e up their faith in Jesus Christy. - y In modern times, also,, that people Virhd glory over bull-fights have also the terrible distinction of having inflicted more agonies of torture and in- -vented7moreingeniousTjnoj^s^^<!au|- ing horrible and continued pain to men, women and children in their devilish Inquisition than; all other nations on the face of the earth. We have not. been ourselves free from baitings of bulls and bears, and cock- fighting and other cruelties, but, thank God, an enlightened people have swept them away; but, if ever morals and religion' should decay, and the ferocious fever return (as, alas, lies perilously near the surface���������witness the execrations of the crowds at baseball and football matches,- and the bad blood too often displayed by the players, and also the fierce love of knockout pugilism���������we may expect that inhumanity to dumb animals will be amongst its earliest symptoms. The domestic animals we discipline to our will, and that 1b right, for God has give us the power over them. But if they owe ua obedience, we owe them justice and kindness; common justice that we are so fond of always claiming for ourselves; sufficient food���������do they always get it? Never to overtax their strength. Is justice always meted out to them in this matter of labor? Do we ever see lumber loaded up on wagons that cause the horses a constant strain beyond their strength to pull along? When their masters lie down and enjoy the dinner-pail, are the horses always unharnessed and cared for? And do they meet with every attention in their stables in the evening? Then, besides common justice, they have a right to knidness, and they value it and feel it. You can make a horse love you like a friend. As for a dog's attachment it is proverbial. And the cattle, we tend, if we are kind to them, value it, and it makes them happy. There is a wonderful pathos in the dumbness of the lower creation. If they could talk, would they have something to complain of? There is but one antvwer: Conscience will have something to say in the Day of Judgment of injustice, unkindness and gross cruelty done to those who could not resent, it, and whom God had put in our power for our use and convenience. Not only the Bible and all good Christians teach the laws of justice and kindness to animals, but the noble poetry and literature of the ultivated heathen bring out the regard of dumb animals for the love shown by their masters. In the Iliad, the.horses or their haste do not stop to kill the wounded birds, but iherely wrench their wings off, and cast the poor, maimed bodies to die in slow agony on the water. The wretches who are engaged in this work come at last to take pleasure in it, and regard it as good sport. The birds, they have been heard to say, when their wings are being wrenched off, 'Cry or scream just like a child.* " The "Westminster Gazette" writes: "Shocking is the case of the white egretylt" is known that the aigrette, so much,affected by women in head decorations at the present time, is made of the slender dorsal feathers of the small white egret, or heron, and that these- feathers form the bird's nuptial ornament, being acquired at the pairing time, and shed when the breeding is over. The bird inhabits heronies, and it is in the breeding season that they are sougni out by the feather hunters. It is then, too, that their anxiety for the safety of their young makes them fearless of the gunners, the instinct of self- preservation being over-mastered by the love of their offspring. As they hover in a white cloud over the heads of Jthe hunters, they are shot down without trouble; and when the /fair ornamental feathers (and it. takes hundreds to make one ounce weight) have been plucked from each bird, the car- icasses are thrown down in a heap to fester-in the rain, arid the fledgings (think of that, you mothers) are left to starve and die in their nests."

St. Francis of Amisi and Luther, two men as different as it is possible to imag woman with feathers to adorn her head wi that, and tails nnumerable io clothe her body.

(Continued pf rom page 1) are actually belligerent. There is practically no doubt but that the minority report will be the one.acted upon by the council, and thus will close this matter, .which' has occupied'so much of the public attention, whieh the response was most hearty. The majority then gathered about the bandstand in the park, from which point the addresses were delivered. Tlie chair was taken by the Right Worshipful Grand Master of British Columbia, Bro. Geo. J. Grimason, who in a few well chosen words extended a hearty welcome to the visitors on behalf of the brethren of Victoria. The first speaker was R. W. Bro. J. WYWhiteley, Provincial Organizer. In his opening remarks, he complimented those present upon what he believed to be the finest- celebration of the kind that had ever taken place in the Orange annals of the Pacific Northwest. He then outlined the principles of the Association. and pointed out that it was a very necessary institution in the Dominion of Canada, lie laid particular emphasis on the loyalty of its members-, pointing out that every Orangeman was swonrto maintain the connection between Canada. Newfoundland,'and the Mother Country, and uphold the integrity of the British Empire, lie referred to the growing popularity of the order with the" Canadian people, 1.16 new lodges having been established in the Dominion during 19.1.0. British Columbia had shared in this increase in membership, and had shown the largest percentage of increase of any province in the Dominion. In conclusion he asked those who were not members of the order to carefully investigate the existing conditions in the Dominion with regard to the growing political power of the Roman Catholic Church, and he felt sure that if they did, it would not be long before their applications would be handed in to become members'of the Orange Association, the only body of men existing in Canada with the express purpose of combatting the politically aims of Roman Catholicism. The next speaker was Rev. Dr. Fraser, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Vancouver. . He stated that the. 12th of July celebration meant more than the display of banners and badges, and the playing of bands. It was becoming more fraught with significance with the passing years, because of the events that were transpiring. He spoke in favor of the elimination of the dual language system in the Dominion Parliament, claiming that Canadians as Britons, should speak but one tongue, have but one flag, and stand shoulder to shoiilder for Imperial. Unity. He'also stood for the enactment of laws that .'would, inculcate the spirit7of loyalty in the people from the outset of their careers, It was time that the proper patriotic sentiment' should be taught in the schools. He believed in one school system only, and that the public school. If we wish to have a united Canada, we must begin; with' the children, and the best place, he knew of to get the children to know and respect one another was in the public school. He also spoke of a spirit that existed amongst a large number of Protestants against saying anything that might be construed as narrow or intolerant. ".-He' would be the last to encourage bigotry or intolerance; but they must remember Jhat they had not only a religious body to deal with, but the most colossal political organization on the' face of the globe. When the Roman Catholic Church stepped into the realm of civil matters, then it was not only the privilege but also the duty of every Protestant to protest. They must stand firm against any special privileges for religious denominations, and if they were true to this principle, they v. Vvdd find themselves on many occasions protesting against the political interference of the Papacy. In closing, he expressed himself as being in favor of the enactment of laws that would result in the development of the country's resources along Imperialistic lines. The next speaker was the Very Rev. Dean Doull, rector of Christ Church Cathedral. He esteemed it a. pleasure to be given the opportunity to speak, recognizing the fact that the Orange Association was strong in numbers and influence throughout the Avorld. Having been invited to deliver an address, and not being a member nor particularly well posted, he had considered it- necessary to make some investigation with a view to ascertaining whether the criticisms sometimes directed at the organization were well founded or otherwise. With that object he had procured a copy of the.constitution, and I'roni a study of its provisions had coine to the conclusion that, if there were any ground for the strictures occasionally directed at Orangemen, it was due the acts of individual members, and that the body itself, from the basis on which it was built, could not be responsible. * One of the first principles of the constitution provided that members should reverence God Almighty and His Son Jesus Christ. "We are living in an age of apathy and indifference,. ' continued the speaker. "We are witnessing a decline in the reverence in which the Bible is held. If you would do a great work for the Empire, for yoi.r homes, your wives and family, you must remember and govern yourselves according to the principle laid down in the first clause of your constitution. Whether you agree or disagree with your fellow men, if you do this, they will be forced to acknowledge your usefulness and to thank God for. your existence. A second constitutional axiom, he found, was that Orangemen were bound to love their country and their King, to uphold the supremacy of British rule and British justice. Orangemen were required to resist menaces to those bonds which held together the different widely separated sections of the British Empire. One of these menaces threatened Ireland by the passage of Home Rule. While every reasonable and intelligent person was willing to concede to Ireland that broad measure of government necessary to allow her to handle her own affairs all those who stood for the continued unity of Britain would resist the move in question. In Canada the menace was found in the influx of a foreign population. In the face oiYthis element, and that whieh was coming from the south of the line, it was of the utmost importance to maintain in every possible way British law and principles. While giving the newcomers the benefit of the British form of government they should be made to abide by the- law.

He gives particulars of the fine trapping in which the party engaged and the excellent results of this portion of their work. The strenuous outward journey from Fort Kelson to Winnipeg McLean, Mrs. Reid supplies excellent reading. There is much variety in the other stories, both fishermen and hunters receiving due attention, and stories and evperiences from the far East as well as from the far West are included.

' , ������' (From Our Own Correspondent.) MONTREAL, July 21.���������There have been a disquieting number of complaints concerning the taking of the census. Individuals, if there are enough of them, make a community, and there have "been enbugh queries and yomplalnts from citizens who wish to be counted in Montreal's total "but whom the enumerators have apparently overlooked, to fornyquite a Tespectaule village. The last addition to the evidence that Montreal, unless some special attention is paid to the matter immediately, will be recorded as "having a population mucli smaller than is really the case, comes through the discovery that a whole ^section of St; Denis ward, numbering some four hundred inhabitants, was omitted from the allocations made by the enumerators, and for, census purposes does not exist. This particular oversight can be corrected because it has been brought to the attention of the proper authorities, "but how many similar blunders have there been w"hlch have not been discovered iBA^MJLjiQt7-berectiified? 7The day Our Prices Si!

The exodus from the -cities had fairly set In "by the first of .Tune and the number of-Canadians who will not "be counted as residents of Canada because of eafly vacation must be considerable.

Small Pickings for Robbers. The recent hold-up of a mail ttrain in which the robfrers escaped with the. registered mail is cited by postal authorities here as emphasizing ~the rarity, of losses of tlfiis kind. WJjile dollars a year on this end of their business, and as the postmaster general, after investigating nearly 400 lines, has just reported that more than a quarter of them are underpaid, the loss which they suffer in this connection is vastly greater than that which arises from the depredations of would- be imitators of Jesse James. That this occupation offers small chance of profit is shown by the fact that in the past two years, according to Post Office records, there has been in the entire country only nine train robberies, involving the mails, and it is said that even 4in this latest hold-up the mail train was attacked through mistake by bandits who- were really after a lieavy gold shipment travelling by express on another train, y "Human Cat" Never Hurt.y y Failing^ more than a mile without injury is the record Which has "just been set here by a man known-.to his fellow workers as "Nine Lives Tim" and "*the Human Cat,'7w(ho is neither an aeroplanist nor balloonist, but a painter who has done his falling without the aid of any artificial means pf support. He rounded out his two hun. dredth fall of 25 feet or over this week, by tumbling 160 feet from a building In which he was at work, landing on his feet and escaping without any more serious injury than damage to his trousers, although had it not been for the intervention of tlegraph wires which broke his fall it is likely that this would have been his last tumble. Only three weeks ago he fell fifty feet from another building and his record included twenty falls from i^rns,_JWrty-;eIght ..from trees, and Sherwin-Williams Paint ii Made td Paint Buildings with. Cor. 16th Ave. and Main Str. 44 41 J 4 * < ������ more than 100 from roofs of residences. Falls from "bicycles, fences and downstairs have been so numerous that their total has not been kept, since the human cat regards them as entirely too trivial to remeinber. But in spite of his peculiar proclivity for taking unexpected drops, he always lands on his feet, and has not a scar to show for his mile of tumbling.' Honest Crooks. Thafc> crooks are honest men as compared to many local merchants is the novel complaint mafie here by two stiir-confessed thieves this week, who have been looting many retail jewelry stores, by what is known in the slang of the underworld as the "pennyweight game."

The Rev. Dr. Spencer preached morning and evening at the, Robson Memorial Church last Sunday, at Cedar Cottage. Mr. Johnson, licensee of thei Junction Inn, is proposing to erect a commodious modern hotel to replace the present small building. He is to appear before the License. Commissioners at their next meeting. Mrs. W. Battison, or East Collingwood, and her sister, Miss Mary l^a Franchire, have gone on a trip to Victoria and Nanainio, and purpose staying on a visit to -Mr. Frank Battison at Nanaimo. The by-law against blasting unless by permit is being vigorously enforced and at nearly every sitting of the police court offenders are being fined. It is somewhat strange, though, that one can still hear sounds of blasting going on (or going off?) on Sundays. South'Hill Presbyterian Church held a highly successful garden party last Tuesday afternoon at the corner of Fraser Avenue and Wilson Road. A Good number of friends were present,' and in the evening; a concert given by Colonel Whyte and party from St. Andrews Church was also well attended, notwithstanding the excessive heat. The Sunday School connected with Robson Memorial Church held tlieir annual picnic last Tuesday. Special cars left for Stanley Park at 10 o'clock and conveyed the scholars and friends direct to the scene of enjoyment. Favored by the glorious weather a most jolly day was spent by both adults and youngsters, the ladies as usual attending to the creature comforts of the party. There is to be a public meeting at the Robson Memorial Church on Tues- day evening next, at 8 p. m., when Mrs.- Lashley Hall, of Mt. Pleasant, is announced to lecture on "A Question of Interest to Men and Women." It is hoped there will be a good attendance, as a discussion is to follow the lecture. A musical programme is to be also provided. .The South Vancouver picnic at Central Park next Saturday promises to be a great success. Every arrangement to promote the enjoyment pf patrons has been made. Special cars are to be run from various centers. A long and promising programme of sports has been fixed up, whilst for those who prefer to dance beneath the sylvan shade a band has been engaged. A big crowd with big baskets and big appetities is anticipated. A suitable site in Janes Road having been generously given by a friend, it is intended to at once proceed with the erection of an Anglican church. Itjs.Jhe^i^rpo^^ofyhe comimttee to commence with only a small structure. With the rapid development of this locality it should not, however, be long before a permanent - building prove necessary. The friends at Christ Church, Georgia Street, are undertaking this mission as an extension of their suburban work. Bowen Island as a camping ground possesses many attractions at this season of the year. Among the camps "Sing Sing" is an especial favorite with South Vancouverites. The genial hosts, Messrs. VV. A. Goddard, F. N. Hirst and S. A. Shrimpton, are always welcoming jolly Aveek-end parties and their motor launch "Sing Sing" affords additional pleasure to their guests. I^ast Saturday the following friends enjoyed the week end at the camp and had a most delightful time: Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Smith, Miss B. Bowers, Miss Dunn, Miss Goddard and Messrs H. Arthur, L. Bragg, AV. A. Goddard, F. N. Hirst, Ross, S. A. Shrimpton and F A. Whitaker. Samuel Get, a Chinaman, met with a fatal accident at Lakeview, near Cedar Cottage, last Wednesday afternoon, the poor man dying on the way to the hospital from injuries received through being struck by a tramcar on the B. C. E. Ry. line between Lakeview Station and Victoria Drive. At the inquest the jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The evidence exonerated the B. C. E. Ry. and its employees from any blame, but the jury recommended the company to authorize the South Vancouver council to continue the sidewalk from Victoria Drive tOk. Lakeview Station. The evidence showed that the car crew had done all in their power to prevent the accident and also went to prove that it was the common practice of the public to utilize the railway track as a footpath, especially in the vicinity of Lakeview Station, owing to 'there being no sidewalk. Mr. and Mrs. George Banks, . of Agnes Road, Cedar Cottage, are staying for the summer at their recently purchased summer quarters at Se- chelt. Mrs. Harry Goddard, also of Cedar Cottage', has just returned from a short visit to them. Mr. and Mrs. W. J.7Williams and family/of Woodstock, One, are about to reside at Thyme Koad, Cedar Cottage. From the Woodstock Sentinel we gather that Air. Williams will be a valuable acquisition to our locality, jriaving tor the past four years.been manager to the 'Woodstock Lumber Co., ;vii\. Williams has come to Vancouver to accept a good position witn bright prospects.' besides being well Known in tlie lumber industry, Mr. Williams has also done good service in religious and social circles, having been a memuer ot tlie Board of Trade, the 'Young Liberals Club, Bowling oitvb, Mining Club, St. Pauls Men's Club, and also a sidesman ut St. Pauls Oliurcn, WoodstocK. A "World? reporter in mentioning the police court proceedings against a couple of Italian offenders states: "A policeman said that he saw them blast a great jagged stump out ot the ground with his own eyes." Presumably a small quantity of powder was also used, ls this another optical delusion? It reminds me of an incident that occurred some, two years or so ago, when blasting was a common luxury indulged in by all aud sundry, occasionally removing the obstacle desired and more frequently removing tne neighbors' windows or increasing the ventilation in the roof, i On this occasion two neighbors were sitting in the cool of a summer evening exchanging news. It was a Monday, and consequently washing day, and both were busy on repairs. One lady had been annoyed by the blasting and consequent dirt in the vicinity, causing her washing to require taking in for renewal, and in their exchange of mutual woes one exclaimed to the other: ���������'We dp seem in for it, what with my 'blasted' washing and your darned socks." Who A PICNIC. "What a happy-looking crowd! are they?" y Y '��������� -7 "Oh! they are the members of the Mt. Pleasant Methodist Sunday School off for their annual picnic." "Did you have a nice time?" some one queried on-my return. "Splendid," I replied. "In the first place, the weather Was ideal. It was indeed a sunny 12th of July. Then the spot chosen for the occasion Twas charming, and was well worth tbe steep ascent from the improvised station. Of course one)must scale the heights if one would breathe the pure atmosphere of the skies and revel in expanse of vision. So we followed, single file, the long line of jolly personages, old and-'young (Old! No, we were all young that day), and reached the summit, where a picture of enchanting beauty rewarded us. In front was a large expanse of beautiful blue sea, with a stretch of hazy mountains in the background, whilst around u������ were luxuriant vegetation and majestic trees with their welcome shade. Oh, the sweet-scented air of pine and ozone! And all this, to be enjoyed within a few miles of the dusty city! For tHe'plaee isanewly^pened up site known as Ocean Park, only an hour's ride from the city of Vancouver. "On this delightful spot is erected a large tent, where a summer school is being conducted along Chautauqua lines; 'the first probably to be established inTBritish Columbia. We tended our way hither, for we, like wise people, believe in combining spiritual and intellectual pleasures with the aesthetic and social, and thus obtaining all possible good. A large audience of campers and picnickers assembled and sang some well-known hymns, after which our genial friend and able preacher, Rev. N. Powell, gave a most helpful and practical address upon 'The Church and the Child.' This was followed by an eloquent, inspiring sermon from Dr. Dawson, the noted author and divine, upon the 'Evangelism of Jesus.' "The next item on the day's programme was luncheon under the trees, and with the delicious viands, the ministry of sweet-smiling ladies, the geniality and cheery helpfulness of our popular Sunday School superintendent and his colleagues, we certainly enjoyed the repast. "During the afternoon various games were heartily enjoyed, and in the evening we received an intellectual treat whilst listening to Dr. Dawson, who is not only of large physique but of large soul and intellect. His lecture on 'Savonarola, the Prophet of Liberty,' was soul-stirring and thrilling. "Then as the sun set in a picture of flaming gold, we commenced the return journey home, after a most delightful day, unmarred by .aught, except by a few salutes from our old acquaintances, the dearly-beloved mosquitoes."
