Published in the Interests of Greater Vancouver and the Western People VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1915 5 Cents Per Copy.- No^iT BANES AND BANKING EN OUR LAST ISSUE and indeed on-many former occasions, we have dwelt strongly on certain anomalies in our banking system, ."he last general bank statement of May 31st, >ublisbed in the last issue of the Canada Gazette (June 26, 1915) bears out "bur arguments. For instance, that statement shows $136,098,- 335.00 on call loans in New York. Let us once I more consider this item: It is argued by the Banks that ALL this is [required to meet foreign deposits and exchange. Now, foreign deposits, at the same date, I amounted to $96,912,047.00, but there are other items in this statement which should be con- I sidered as an offset to "foreign deposit," viz.: "Due from Banks elsewhere than in Canada," $36,481,307.00; "Due from the United Kingdom," $18,259,979.00;" Current Loans elsewhere than in Canada," $36,375,658.00, or a total of $91,116,944.00. v.'.Jn1 other words Canadian Banks have received deposits from foreign sources of $96,912,- :O47.00, and have due to them from foreign |v(f)r the same) sources in ordinary loans, etc., $91,116,944.00, and in addition this huge sum in "Call Loans" of $136,098,835.00. - XX But," says the Banker, "in addition to the ���������'foreign deposits yre inust have "liquid assets" |f-veasily realizable to take care of "foreign exchange," otherwise we would be forced to ship gold out of Canada. Quite truej but when business was at its height in 1913, when-foreign exchange was most active, these same Banks had as low as $69,000,000 in New York call loans, and we, ask, "if this stfm was ample to; take care of foreign exchange when business was far more active than now, why "dedicate" i $136,000,000.00 to thatpurpose when we heed it ao badly at home."Or,o|o take another view, we can admit the arguAents of the Bankers and withdraw $65,000,000 from New York, and still he quite safe.

IX'V^ 4ffc3fc;fti*&_l m TAX SALES S URREY MUNICIPALITY is to have a Tax Sale. We are sorry to see tbis, as it is not with Surrey as it is with some other municipalities. Surrey has no debt and, therefore, no fixed charges which must be met. " The monthly pay roll of the municipality is not large, and there should be no difficulty in issuing bonds secured by the unpaid taxes to carry the municipality through this time of stress. But such is not the opinion of the council. They have decided to hold the sale, war conditions or no war conditions. *; JJ THE FINANCIAL SITUATION UNEMPLOYMENT THE CITY AND PROVINCE jog thoughtlessly along, seemingly totally oblivious to the problem which faces them this coming winter. We again warn the authorities and the public that a "bread line" or a "soup kitchen" is not the solution to this problem. To follow that policy is pure insanity and will inevitably land our city and province into a serious predi- ment. For" about nine months we have been "giving relief," when we should have been investing the money so disposed of in a manner which would bring returns. We do' not wisl^to blame the relief officer; he can only deal with details as they daily /Come before him, but those in authority���������those who were elected to administer our affairs, what are they doing? It will not do to seek to shuffle off the responsibility onto the' province, and they in turn onto the Dominion. IT IS THE BUSIES OF THE CITY TO. TAKE CARE OF ALL LOCAL PROBLEMS, AND OF THE PROVINCE TO CARE FOR THE LARGER ONES, but deal with them sooner or later they must. Why not call for a conference of leading oiti- zens and organizations which might help to solve this difficult matter in an intelligent way. THE WAR SITUATION THE WEEK has been one of anxiety to all who have been following the fortunes of the great conflict. -The weight of the drive which-Germany has been making is in some measure realized. But it $ safe saying that there are very-few outside of those trained in the handling of great armies, and these ������re^ very few, whoN have_tfl*o) slightest real conception of the tremendous conflict which is now raging. That under these circumstances Russia has been able to check the German drive is a matter for thanksgiving. , Germany .has now her whole mimhood in \ the S?S*i1 &M m m ^ci$^li^i^ip7^ ^i^:������eu-^ ness men in Canada pay 7cj>er cent.' to 9 per cent, lorv ac^ would; withdrew^say*^ $80;p00^0p0 ot this huge surav and [Sloan it in :<&nadavatV6iviper bent, instead of vat j^jpdLjL^^ would mean an increased revenue to the Banks of $3,600,000.00 or sufficient to reduce the interest charges on their commercial loans in Canada by about one per cent, without in any degree affecting their earnings; which, are already abnormally high. This, however, is not all. The BanW are yearly devoting huge sums to "Bank Premises." They annually absorb portions of their earnings hy "writing off" part of these accounts. For instance, the Bank of Montreal shows only $4,- 000,000 in Bank premises, whereas they have that sum wrapped up in the City of Montreal alone. The Bank of Commerce shows $4,700,000 which is only a tithe of the total; and other .banks are in just the same position. CIVIC STOCK TAKING AFTER MANY YEARS there has come a halt to the activities of the .city of Vancouver. It is now time to take stock and find out the results which have been attained by the city. We began with a wilderness surrounding the "city, the resources of. which were at that time at the city's disposal. There was unlimited water power going,to waste. ' Alongside of this there was the certainly that the city would require an ever-increasing supply of power for civic purposes and that her citizens would need very large supplies for domestic and industrial purposes. None of these sources of supply, however, have been obtained by the city. The city had in the heart of it a great stretch of land in False Creek. There was certain potential value in this land sufficient to liquidate the full amount of the city's debt. The city has alienated all this land to the railroads and in return has received nothing; not even the source of employment which might have been obtained even this year by the insisting in the building of the Great Northern depot. The city could then have obtained the timber lands at the head of Seymour creek from the government as a source of water supply, and park. Failing to do this at the right time the city has placed itself under debt to purchase a "comparatively small area for the purpose of the water supply conservation. . In the year 1910, .through the efforts of Mr. Stevens then alderman for Ward V., an amendment was secured to the city charter compelling the city to set aside $500,000.00 annually for the ^JpoBe of purchasing the B. C. Electric Rail- mrf and Lighting system; sine*'that"time absolutely nothing has been done to carry out this far-sighted policy. Will this also fail, like so many other items in our civic policy, for lack' of competent administrative ability f ������ .

JV. J. Bowser, in a very clear and forceful manner, gave a splendid reply to the famous "Crisis in B. C." He proved beyond a doubt that the Ministerial Union of the ��������� Lower Mainland were woefully misled by Moses B. Cotsworth, regardless of their statement in the foreword of the pamphlet, and that the re*al "Crisis in B. C." was when Mr. Cotsworth was dismissed by the government at Victoria. The Attorney-General said that some one, in discussing the pamphlet, had said that "there was a lie on every page." Regarding this he Vcould safely add that "there was at least five :mis-statements on every page." He% clearly vindicated with indisputable -proofs, every allegation levelled at himself and the government, and so thoroughly discredited "the entire pamphlet, that everyone clearly felt that a mighty hoax had been perpetrated on the reverend gentlemen, and that the statements in .the pamphlet from beginning to end were a complete misrepresentation of facts and allegations that could not be substantiated. He also showed where the real author of the pamphlet was guilty of many charges laid at. the door of ..others.

In the meantime there are several possibilities. One is that there will be a drive against the Allies on the western frontier. Another is that there will be a drive against the allies and the neutrals in the Balkans. The object of such a drive would be fiTany fold. To relieve the Turks would be one. To continue to block Russia from the use of the Dardanelles through which she could export her grain, etc., and thus relieve her ruinous exchange charges on the one hand and freely import the needed war supplies on the other, would be a second. To threaten, and if possible carry with them the Balkan neutrals would be a third. To obtain the coveted entrance to the Turkish Empire would be a fourth, and so on. If, therefore, there remain strength in the Teuton machine we may look for things to move in that direction. On the part of the Allies it is to be expected that the strange calm which has hovered over the west will prove to be a harbinger for a storm. That Kitchener and Joffre will long be content to hold their lines simply is not to be expected. That some of the neutrals will soon be in the field seems likely. XX" With all this there is the imperative necessity that the allies continue to increase their strength. To this end there must be rapid recruiting still on the part of Britain. Every man is needed either as a recruited manor as a registered reserve ready <for the call to the colors at need. Failure on the part of any great number of men to enlist must bring conscription. It is not, perhaps that the man who does not enlist is cowardly. If he were he would be better out of the ranks than in. But he has not as yet recognized the need. If others choose to go let-them go, for him he has not seen the necessity. That is all. Well, the necessity is there, and if he has not the vision to see it then others who have must see it for him and call upon him with the authority of the Empire to go and do his duty. Certain it is that when he becomes experimentally acquainted with the conditions he will thank the influence which constrained him to do his duty. T,i"~ &j*^V'& mm to provide for men. ''At'^WWm Board has taken up this problem, and are deal- ;#������jr with it ,in a successful manner; hut no ' thanks to the civic authorities. , We have secured parHs, graded and- paved streets, built costly bridges, all on borrowed capital, and-not only nonrevenue producing, but- actually a burden on our resources, and in all these years have been blind to the need of developing industries to use and support these civic luxuries. TJtt! PACIFIC majJWAY ANP THE SUItRBY WUNJOJPAI. fcAWS SURREY has a system of roads which can only be excused by the fact that the municipality has been carried on without debt. The municipal roads are bad. That is putting it mildly. Accidents to motor cars are of not unfrequent occurrence. To speed over these roads would be to wrec*k the car even though it kept the road on its wheels. But the government has been busy building through Surrey the International highway. Parts of this have been brought into fair shape, and it is possible to make fair time over pieces of this , which are finished, without unduly endangering the car or the passengers. _On these stretches there has been placed, so it is alleged, traps to catch the unwary motorist, who, having been exasperated and delayed by the Surrey-made roads, tries to make a little speed on such stretches of the government-made roads as are usable. Along such stretches special constables are placed with a mechanical device for the catching the unwary speeder, and the net is effective. There are no constables watehing the ordinary Surrey * roads. Here speeding is impossible. It is like the small municipal mind to find in the government-made road, not so much a good j?oad,to relieve the acknowledsjedly too slow traffic of the Surrey roads as to a new source of revenue to the municipal coffers, and of. fees to her officials by preying on the unwary motorist who' uses the road. We suggest that all roads built by the province shall he under the jurisdiction of the province, and that all fines imposed on those using them shall go to the treasury of the province only.

STEVENS said in his interview in the various dailies of the city regarding the financial conditions at the preseilt time and for the immediate future is very opportune and as far as it goes, is right. ' ^ - But it must be remembered that all the ground cannot be covered in a short interview, 'and there are considerations which enter largely into the general situation which did not enter, into the matter which Mr. Stevens discussed at all. ���������^ Mr. Stevens dealt with the fprm of financing which has been the usual thing With our municipalities and cities. This form of financing is almost entirely made up of obtaining monies by loans from abroad. And this form of financing is naturally bound to be difficult for some time to come. The mother country is spending money aa it has never been spent before. She is also financing other countries for the war in an entirely unprecedented way. Thus the available mon- ��������� ies for loan purposes will be first at the disposal of herself and her allies for war purposes before the calls of Canadian cities and-municipalities are heard. Money will be, therefore, hard to borrow for these purposes until all these matters are financed. But as to the available money for the business purposes in Canada, and indeed for other purposes as well the article dealing with "Banks and Banking" by Mr. Stevens in this week's issue will fully show. - ��������� Some time the Dominion and her cities will stop borrowing and will use the money of the country for her own purposes. Perforce that time has come now if she is to cany on her business. And with the necessity has come the opportunity. There will come into Canada this year as a direct result of the war say double the money for the crop which that crop would bring under normal circumstances. Thus there is under cultivation 25 per 'cent,' more land than there- has been before. The prices this year will net forty per cent, above theusual^ iTliuSi'for every hundred dollars received~by'the country on account of the erops heretofore,there will be received this year one hundred and seventy-five dollars. Further, as to the increase of the crop area there will be an increase .of expense in the handling. of th crop. But ee to the fcrewat* ������fc the price this wiU all he clear net profit,'the price of handling not being affected tWehy. There will be scores of millions of dollars moreover paid into the couhtry for unusuaVpro��������� XX:f?>;' ducts due entirely t& the war, au4 all tbat sum ,.

Therefore the municipalities and the cities must turn from, abroad and induce the people of Canada to absorb some of the debenture issues themselves. That the people of Canada can do this if they will is shown by recent bank statements showing abnormal savings deposits in Canada. This being the form of hoarding to which the Canadian is most addicted. Now the municipalities and cities have taught the people of Canada that the way to^help the municipal treasury is to buy properties for less .than a tithe of their value at tax sales, and this is about the only way the Canadian can now be induced to come to the aid of their own civic community. The real barrier to the borrowing Canadian money for civic purposes has been the high rates of interest obtainable from other sources in Canada. Four and four and a half per cent, loans have not seemed good enough to the Canadian. But under the circumstances of the cities and municipalities could there not be offered eight or ten per cent, secured by the hack taxes and charged against the properties upon which these taxes are due. Remember the interest, commission and fees charged against every piece of land sold for taxes, and then it will be seen that even at this rate of interest the payee of the rate would be saving money. Even for straight debenture issues the civic and municipal bodies of Canada are at this time paying six and six and a half per cent, to foreign lenders together with discounts and brokerage fees which run it up to near or over eiffhf per cent. Why not cut these fees and discounts out and offer to the Canadian buyer a straight eight per cent, interest secured by short term debentures of his own community. These troubles are ahead for the municipal borrowers for some time to come. But for the general lines of business there are busy times ahead.

The Red Man's contribution to place names in Canada and particularly in Western Canada, makes a considerable body in the aggregate. Indian names now permanently attached to our rivers and lakes, towns and cities, have a peculiar interest to us all. In them the Indian has perpetuated himself by a monument more eloquent and more imperishable than could he erected by mere human hands. It is a sound policy and but a measure of justice to the original inhabitants, that seeks among Indian tribes, some now almost extinct, for the titles of provinces, and cities, lakes and rivers, mountain and forests. Moreover, on the score of beauty alone, the debt is on the white man's side. The descents of the Indians have kept with great fidelity the names of their ancient localities, and have bestowed them upon our villages and cities as they have successively appeared. It is but a fit tribute to our Indian predecesssors to record the baptismal names of our rivers, lakes and streams, and also of their ancient sites. The capital of Ontario was formerly known as York. By the adoption of the cognomen of an Indian tribe, Toronto has gained a name of sonorous beauty scarcely to be matched among all the cities of the world. By a similar process, Ottawa has gain ed vastly by the change from its original name of Bytown. Strong and virile, if not always euphonious names, are As- sinaboirie, Ontario, Winnipeg, Muskbka, Musquash, Mississauga, Temiscouta, Washimeska, Asi- wanan, Restigouehe, Nipissing, Algonquin, Awoju, Shequindah, and Temiscaming. Pleasing names to be found in the "Canadian Gazeteer" are Hiawatha, Minnehaha, and Noko- mis; but these, perhaps, owe allegiance to Longfellow rather than to the Red man from whose language they were taken. In the list of lakes of the United States published in 1885 for the Fisheries Commission, two hundred and eighty-five bear Indian names. A larger proportion is shown in the rivers and streams. In a list of the principal and flowing into the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, seven hundred and twenty-four have Indian names. If to these should be added the Indian names of the St. Lawrence Valley, those attached to the waters of the Great Lakes in both Canada and the United States, the Saskatchewan, and the numerous other great northern and north-western watersheds, and the lakes ahd streams of the Pacific coast, the list might easily be doubled.

When such localities as Whiskey Gap, Leavings, Pincher Greek, Porcupine Hills. Bobber's Boost, Stand Off, Slide Out, Slide In, Medicine Hat, Jumping Valley, Old Man, etc., are spoken, the stranger in the west begins to enquire how the selection was made. '���������?..��������� It was in the early seventies that the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company ceased and the Dominion government took over judicial rights in all that vast territory which lies between the International Boundary and the North Pole. The, ending of. this monopoly was a signal for an inrush of adventurers. Gamblers, smugglers, criminals of every stripe, struck across the boundary line from Montana and other northern States into the Canadian territory at the foothills of the Rockies. Without a white population these rifraff adventurers could not ply their usual wide-open traffic. The only way to wealth was by the fur trade; and the easiest way to obtain the furs was by smuggling whiskey into the country in small "quantities, diluting this and trading it to the natives for pelts. Chances of interference were nil. The Canadian government officials were thousands of miles distant, without either telegraph or railway connection. But the game was not without its dangers. The country at the foothills was inhabited by a confederacy of the Blackfeet Indians ��������� 'Bloods; Peigans, and Blackfeet���������" tigers of the prairie" when sober, and worse than tigers when drunk. The Montana whiskey smugglers found they must either organize for defence,, or pay for their fun by being exterminated. How many whites were killed in these drinking frays will never be known; but all about the Belly and Old Man Rivers and Fort Macleod, are gruesome landmarks known as the places where this and that party was exterminated in the seventies. The upshot was that the Montana smugglers emulated the old fur traders, and built themselves permanent forts: Whoop-her- up.Kipp, Stand Off, Slide Out, Robber's Roost and several others of less importance. Whoop-Up Was Pirst Smuggler's Port The most interesting stories connected with place names in Western Canada centre around Whoop-TJp, a smuggler's fort on the Belly River, near the City of Lethbridge. A gang from Montana built it in the early days of smuggling and Indian trading in Western Canada. Whoop-he'r- up was the name given the place by the Indians, but this, for respectability's sake has been changed to Whoop-up with an innocent suggestiveness of some poetic Indian title. Whoop-up was iconstructed of square timber, surrounded with a-palisade/twelve feethigh; loop- holed for musketry, with bastions and an alarm bell, and was about 300 yards square. The forth! cations of this place alone, it is said, cost $12,000. It contained much good food as well as drink, and immediately became the metropolis of the whiskey smugglers. The place derived its name from the fact that it was a central meeting place for smugglers, where they had great carousals, and were accuseomed to whoop it up (Western American phraseology for make a great noise). Henceforth only a few Indians were allowed inside the fort at a time,, the rest being served on the outside that gave the place its rather peculiar name. The Blackfeet loved a man hunt better than a buffalo hunt. The trail by which the whiskey smugglers came from Fort Benton zigzagged over the rolling prairie, mainly following the bottoms of precipitous coulees and ravines, for a distance of 700 miles to Whoop-up. Heavy wagons with canvas top and yokes of fifteen and twenty oxen drew the freight of liquor through the devious passes that connected ravine with ravine. The Blackfeet were probably the best horsemen in the woyld. There were places where the wagons got mired, and where the defiles were exceptionally narrow, oxen and wagons had to be rafted across rain-swollen streams and sloughs. With a yelling of incarnate fiends that would have stampeded more sober brutes than oxen drawing kegs of whiskey, down swooped the Blackfeet at just these hard spots. Sometimes the raids took SEXvvSSHHI __E_^^������^!������i_H_^___Hm mm H__I__k1__I K_Hi-P?7L',-_B_H _l____i_________l_________ill W\WOF������SataW*\\\\\ E_H_R_r^ii^XXii������_B ^_B^^DHS_flU_usw^������ _&':,-vt=3^^B ^^^H^Hxj^H |^^^H 38HHHHHHHH ______________^vX^_l_____l ___________H������;'-^<:f______| ONE OF THE HORTICULTUBAL DISPLAYS���������VANCOUVER EXHIBITION place at night, when tethers would be cut and the oxen stampeded with the bellowing of a frightened buffalo herd. If the smugglers made q. stand there was a fight. If they drew off, the savages captured the booty, and there was also a fight; but in this case the victims were the Indians themselves killed in their drunken brawls. The smugglers were too wary to call down attack from the entire Mounted Police force by attempting armed resistance. They played the well-known game of smugglers the world over. Their place lay in the bottom of a deep ravine. In one side was a defile in the hills known as "Slide Out"; on the other side was a narrow pass called '' Slide In." When the red coats rode clanking through "Slide In" the smugglers quietly slipped away through "Slide Out." This operation was repeated so often that the two places became known as Slide Out and Slide In, names that have been attached to'them through all the years since. Medicine Hat Medicine Hat ia a name with a character of its own. It throws some light on the ways and thoughts of primitive people. Medicine means more to an Indian than to a white man. We think of'it as something diabolical that is good for us; but the Indian distinguishes as "good medicine" and "bad medicine" anything that will change his fortunes for better or for worse. Imagine that Lo is" hunting antelope and meeting no success. Presently he finds the top of a tomato can, and shortly after he gets a crack at his game. Can he doubt that the pie<}e of tin gave the luck? Not he. He wears that fragment of tomato can around his neck with his other jewelry .and it is "good medicine." Well, several years ago there was a Blackfoot Chief who liveel at Seven Person's Creek, hunting sometimes, and making war on the Crees between times. JJe had much joy and profit in a head dress of feathers which he called his "medicine hat," for when he wore it he had good luck, if he had fortune. One day he met the Crees near the present site of MedicinerHatrJ-te fell l^n thimwith great industry, smiting, slaying, scalping, fairly beaming with satisfaction. But just as he had the enemy in flight a gust of wind whirled outv of the west, and catching the magic hat, tossed it] into the Saskatchewan. Instant was the effect. The poor chief lost all confidence in himself, and his cause, and with victory within his reach he fore- bore to grasp it, "skedaddling" over the plains in a panic, followed by his tribe. And thus befell the evil that leaves its record in Medicine Hat. There are many other place names of less interest that might be included in a list of those with which Indians are connected in the Great West of Canada. In the Milk River Ridge, south of old Whoop-up, is a defile through which whiskey smugglers passed on their trips to and from Fort Benton. Once a posse of red coats following a gang that had slipped out of Slide Out, came upon them in this defile and the smugglers had to surrender their whiskey. Since that day till this the depression has been called "Whiskey Gap." "Kag-wa-wa-chee" was the hame given to aV ridge of hills west of the town of Macleod by the Cree Indians in the early days. The name, being interpreted, is Porcupine Hills, and was given because in those days these animals Were very plentiful and ate up" the thongs and leather work of' the Indians when they camped in the hills. Leavings is a common term for the place a trail leaves a river or creek. There is only one instance on record where a place Phone Seymour 8171 STOREY & CAMPBELL 518-520 BEATTY ST. VANCOUVER, B.C.

THE WESTERN CALL NOTES BY THE WAY By W. A. Ellis life " Man comes into ��������� this world without his consent and leaves it against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunderstandings. In his infancy he is .an angel; in his boyhood he is a devil; in his manhood he is everything from a lizard up; in his duties he is generally a fool; if he raises a family he is a chump; if he raises a cheque he is a thief, and then the law raises cain with him; if he is a poor man he is a poor manager and has no sense; if he is rich he is dishonest but considered smart; if he is in politics "he is a grafter and a crook"; if he is put of politics you can't place him, as he is "an undesirable citizen"; if he goes to church he is a hypocrite; if. he stays away he is a sinner; if he donates to foreign0 missions he does it for show; if he doesn't he is stingy and a "tight wad"; when he first comes into the world everybody wants to kiss him ���������before he goes out they all want to kick him; if he dies young there was a great future before him; if he lives to a ripe old age he is in the way,, only living to save funeral expenses. Life is a funnyproposition after all. The Vancouver papers all announce that Major Fowler resigned from the V. R, V..ou account of "business." This is not so, I believe. The high handed conduct of a Sergt. Major in publicly insulting a lady had something to do with it. If she had been a German spy she could not havev been more harshly treated. The officers of the V.R.V. proved themselves Britons and gentlemen in resenting such conduct. ���������'������������������. ��������� ' ��������� I spent some time the other day watching a crowd of bread line loafers who were airing their grievances against King, country and mankind in general opposite the recruiting booth on the old court house site. There were between thirty and forty of these gentlemen (?) gathered there, which plainly told me that the meeting was not accidental. I felt inclined to kiss one dear old lady who roundly rated some of them and proudly walked into the marquee with two recruits.

NO FEAR FOR EMPIRE IF��������� Since the first day of July, 1914, our Dominion has realized and risen to a sense of its responsibility and duties as well as of its privileges as part of the British empire. We have come to see that what has been purchased for us by our fathers with the blood and tears of generation after generation must be preserved and extended by ,the same sacrific and in the same spirit. There has been in the past a marked cleavage in Canada between those who have been known as Imperialists and those who have looked with dislike and distrust upon the growth of Imperial sentiment. Is it not possible that this has been due in large measure to too dim a vision and too low an ideal of Empire? "There need be no fear that anything worth preserving in British institutions will perish, there need be little fear of the disintegration or decay of the Empire so long as its ideals are not the acquisition of power or commercial supremacy or territorial expansion for their own sake, but the passionate love of freedom so great that its supreme desire is to let others share in its blessings, and so long as those ideals have in view not what can be gotf from others, but what we can give, to. them, so long as they* put service and sacrifice in the place which they should occupy in the national aspirations of a people whose eyes, washed by the tears of, sorrow and anointed by the Hand of God, look up undimmed to see, enthroned above all earthly systems of government and, nationhood.

A WHOLE NATION IN THE DABS In the bulb of an ordinary electric lamp used, chiefly for house light there is a thin filament of metal wound on what is called an arbor. This filament is so prepared that it offers high resistance to the passage of the current of electricity, and because of this it is heated to incandescence when e current passes through it. All the air having been extracted from the bulb in its making, this prevents the metal from burning up, as it would do if oxygen were present. Vegetable fibre was used for filament of the first incandescent lamps. The next development was the cellulose process, which is still used in carbon and metalized lamps, although a number of processes are used now to improve the filament. The discovery that tungsten metal could be used for this filament in incandescent lamps was made a* recently as 1906. At first the tungsten filaments were composed of what was called tungsten paste that made an extremely fragile wire. The new process now used produces a strong wire under pressure, finer than the finest human hair. They runup to 5000 candle-power. ������������������te-k:*. m. m$m fc&R A-"w*if*"{ 'it i$fc������������#i, iB������* ''-?*������ ii*^1- ���������jSfer- Ja it possible to keep a whole nation in ignorance of what it happening in the world around it?

THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR IN A FEW DAYS the anniversary of the beginning of the war will have arrived. It has been a year of furious struggle, and the end has not been reached as yet. For the Germans there has been no marked success, neither is there for them any v great victory in sight. They set themselves to the accomplishment of many things. They aimed at the destruction of the British fleet. It is not yet wholly destroyed. They aimed at the capture of. Paris, of London, of Petrograd. All these places are still in the hands of the allies. They aimed at a peace which would have made Germany the mistress of the world. They find themselves still involved in the bloodiest of wars: with th eir manhood and other resources shrivelling in the death blast they themselves let loose. As to the allies there has been no great victory upon the land. But there has been; a -steady strengthening of the resistance and of the resources of the allies, which speaks of the end in more certain tones than the most spectacular victory could dof While on the seas the victory of the British fleet has been so sweeping and so continuous as to become a matter of;-course.' And now the anniversary'of the year of war is upon us. There will be efforts to mark this made on either side. If there is anything in the Zeppelin raid upon the city of London it is likely to come then. xV'.-X.V.-'' - X'VX-/' If there is a possibility of a-general submarine effort we may see it on that date, x If it is within the plans of the allies to make a forward movement we may see it launched on that day.

The purposes of the gathering are "to express determination to do all in our power to bring the war to a successful conclusion and do to all in our power to bring the war to a successful-conclusion* and-to invoke -divine blessing upon our efforts." About twenty-five prominent men have been asked to deliver addresses, which must not be longer than ten minutes' duration. It is probable that a service will be held in one church of each denomination, and the starting point of the parade is yet to be fixed. Col. Worsnop has promised the hearty co-operation of the militia and Mr. Abe, Japanese consul, and Mr. Delia, Italian consul, have done the same with regard to their compatriots. Among the bands that of the Industrial School, Point Grey, has promised to be present. The gentlemen who have been invited to speak on the unique occasion are: Sir Charles Hibbert Tubber, Principal7 John Mackay, of Westminster Hall, Mr. R. It. Maitland, Mr. H. H. Stevens, M.P., Mr. J. H. McVety, Major Alexander Henderson, K.C., Eev. Dr. Fraser,.,Mayor L. D. Taylor, Judge S. D. Schultz, Mr. George Cowan. Mr. Ralph Smith, Dr. Frank Patterson, Mr. James McQueen, Rev.

The work of. to-day is the result of last night's rest, or the lack of it. Official announcement was made in Vienna on, July 7th that the subscriptions to the second Austro-Hungarian war loan amounted to 2,650,- 000,000 crowns, ($530,000,000), X Subscriptions to the British war loan have reached a total of $3,000,000,000; Of. this sum $75,000,000 came from 547,000 persons through the Post Office, and these subscriptions have not yet closed. A German military court at Libau has sentence! to death the French consul, M. Maidel, owing to the discovery of a record of German, atrocities found in his quarters. Mr. Maidel fled in time, but his belongings were looted. FOEESTBT BUILDING���������VANCOUVER -EXHIBITION VANCOUVER EXHIBITION THE VANCOUVER EXHIBITION, August 13th to 21st, will secure stock this year which has never been equalled before on this coast, both in quality and quantity. This season the officials are giving increased space to the vegetables and garden truck which will be shown to good advantage in the Transportation Building, along with interesting model villages showing the best methods of marketing eggs as compared with the old way used by the farmer in reaching the retailer and the consumer. Bees also come in as an attraction, and there will be a couple of swarms at work. The Transportation Building will be the home of the ^flowers this year, as the Horticultural Building has been transformed into a Fine Arts Building. This exhibit promises to be more ^ [widely patronized than ever this year, as the season is quite two weeks earlier than last year and the prize list has been augmented to a great extent by handsome trophies donated by. the Vancouver Horticultural Society. This interesting exhibit will no doubt attract a great number of admirers this year. Indications are that the exhibits in the big Industrial Building at the fair this yearSwill be' many and varied. The latest in electric, lights, sewing machines, hardware of all varieties and for every use, food of every description, confectionery, china, furniture and a hundred and one other things of this kind will be exhibited. v \ The cattle exhibits will be unsurpassed this year. Holsteins, Ayrshires, Jerseys and Guernseys will be out in force, some very good animals being imported from as far east as Noya ��������� Scotia. V. The Forestry Exhibit will be specially interesting and extensive- The splendid $3,000 prp7 vinciai government collection of timber and forestry products deserves special mention. _Ac- tual specimens and large photographs will be used by the government to show just how big and fine British Columbia's timber wealth is. The visitors will approach the big' display through the north door of the massive forestry building which is itself no mean sample of B. C. timber. . ' ' ���������,, , The big logs, just as they stand in the shady green forests of the province will be shown. Besides the actual specimens large photographs illustrative of forest scenes will be displayed. The various diseases and pests which afflict timber will be exhibited. Lumbering operations will he carefully portrayed and1 will give eastern visitors especially an excellent idea bow this extensive industry is carried on. . . The shingle industry will he exhaustively treated. The huge standing cedar trees will he shown, then the blocks sawn from _ the parent logs in neatrcleai-cW shingle bolts and other operations will be interestingly illustrated and samples shown. The mineral display will be up to the standard, while the dogs and poultry will attract numbers. X A Better Babies Contest again this year will interest the mothers, under, the auspices of the Women's Home Companion and Local Council of Women. This part of the exhibition was a decided success last year, and promises to be even more successful this year. Among the many district displays will be one by Jtfr. E. F. Laws, of the "Rayfield Ranch." Grand Forks, B. C. The agricultural exhibits will of themselves justify long trips from the! interior towns to Vancouver when the fair is opened. It is the announced intention of the Dominion government experts to be in attendance at its display. Photographs and exhaustive treatises on the various methods followed in producing the best crops, best live stock and best dairy products will be distributed, so this one department of the Fair will be a liberal education in itself. There is to be in the Manufacturing Building a display of "Made in B. C" products that compels attention and is significant of the growth of a movement that is of economical value to the whole of British Columbia.

A few fires occurred in slash, but were extinguished without trouble and expense, the fire stopping in every instance as soqn as "green timber was reached. As a result of the general rains which fell over the entire province last week, the fire hazard is less than during a normal season, and virgin timber ~ is rendered safe until about August 1st. A few days of dry, hot weather will, hdwever, place cut-over lands and old burns in an inflammable condition and render the extinguishment of any fires now burning very difficult and expensive. If drier weather should continue for any considerable period there is serious danger that such fires would continue to smoulder until the green timber is in a condition to burn, and it is, therefore, important that all fires be completely extinguished. An interesting item concerning the development of the lumber industry in the northern interior is reported from Tete Juane. The Northern Construction Company, which constructed a mill on the Upper Fraser River for the purpose of sawing lumber for use on the C. N. R. has shipped 3.- 500,000 feet of spruce lumber to Edmonton. The province realized the sum of $5,500 in royalties and stumpage from this shipment. ' - STORY TELLING Most every night when they're in bed, And both their little prayers have said, Thpy shout for me to come upstairs And tell them tales of grizzly bears And Indians,and gypsies bold And'eagles with the claws-that hold A baby's weight and fairy sprites That roam the woods on starry nights. And I must illustrate these tales, Must imitato the northern gales That toss the Indian's canoe, And show the way he paddles, too, If in the story comes a bear I have to pause and sniff the air And show the way he climbs the trees To steal tho honey from the bees. And sting him on his nose and knees, And howl in pain, till mother cries; "That pair will never shut their'eyes While all that noiseupthereyoumake, You're Dimply keeping them awake." And then they whisper, "Just One more." And once again 'm forced to roar. Now stones every night they ask,. And that is not an easy task, J have to be so many things, Thq frog that croaks, the lark that sings, The cunning fox, the frightened hen; But just last night they stumped me " when They wanted me to twist and squirm And' imitate an angle worm. '/' ��������� ������������������'���������' ��������� ��������� '��������� At last they tumble off to sleep, And softly from their room I creep, And brush and comb the shock of hair ; I tossed about to be a bear, Then mother says: "Well, I should say You're just as much a child as they.'? But you can bet, I'll not resign That story-telling job of mine. CORRESPONDENCE Jubilee, B. C; ' July 28, 1915. Editor Western Call: i Dear Siry-r-Will you kindly give space in your next issue to the following letter, which the Province does nOt seem ready to publish, and much oblige 'Sincerely yours, WM. ELLIOTT. That "Tobacco aad Cigarette (Ah Open: Letter to the Editor of the Province) It is surely time somebody spoke out, Mr. Editor, against your part in the above. The action of the Toronto Conference of the Methodist ,cburch seems to have produced a strong reaction in the wrong direction. The criticism of that action in R. C. has been well met in a recent letter tothe Vancouver Sun.; from the Rev. C. W. Wbittaker,; ih which he urges that we cannot adequately judge of conditions in Ontario, and that the men who passed the resolution are among the foremost in sending their sons to the front. The resolution may have been a little sweeping and indiscriminate, as related^tO-slaves.of the;habit in the trenches, but was more to the point than your suggestion that probably some of those voting for it had a pipe in' their pocket at the time. Evidently you do not know that every Methodist minister in Canada is a pledged abstainer from tobacco, under General Conference role, passed by an equal number of laymen and ministers. But you certainly know that this church is one of the largest among us, and a mighty force for good wherever found. Mr. Editor, it has not been shown that the victims of the It a hit cannot furnish themselves, in the firing line, with all the tobacco they crave; that the users are more efficient than the non- users ; or that the raising a fund io furnish the men, with "the weed" is by any means the best use of money for the soldiers' aid. As a general movement, the serious feature of this tobacco- supplying is the cool assumption underlying it, that the habit is unobjectionable; whereas there are many thousands who have not bowed to this Baal, and every intelligent person who does even a little observing and thinking knows it is bad. I have before me a little tract, written by a medical man���������not a parson���������giving "17 reasons" against it, all valid and unanswerable, but there is no need, here, to name any such reasons; the case is too patent. To make" matters worse, yours is a "Tobacco - and Cigarette Fund.'' Why not rather, a Tobacco and Cigar Fund, or a Tobacco and Pipe Fund? And it is collected by���������little' hoys and girls who are Opehly eulogized for it in your columns! Surely you know that the cigarette is utterly indefensible/ and that the work against it is to be done largely among hoys. So that your lise and praise of the boys comet ^erildusly near to a glorying in .yourvs]bame.."::'; "k./', yi should prefer that my boy at the front���������one of two still left���������- should receive a gashing wound from the Germans, or come home somewhat mutilated for life, than return with an acquired enslavement to tobacco. Tour ^attitude, JR������r^ E^tqrt is IhotCgreat surprise to me, knowing your attitude on militarism, and on the drink question and other matters of social and moral advance. Your arguments- on these questions, though very plausible, and perhaps as strong as the reactionary position can make them, "seem to be away behind the social and moral leaders of the United Kingdom; while to such leaders in Canada and the United States they are the specious and altogether untenable views of 50 or 100 years ago. Some of us take the Province because of its excellence as a news medium, and for your strong and convincing editorials on many subjects; and it is to be earnestly hoped that soon, on every line, you may be found with the forwards in the procession for the uplift and uphold of our people. Yours truly, WM. ELLIOTT. Parsonage. Jubilee, B. C, July 14, 1915.

Jane Addams, returned to London, after a nearly complete circling of the European Chancelleries, confesses with surprising frankness the complete failure of the effort to bring about peace in wbich she and her associates have been engaged. Everywhere she and they were courteously received. The ministers and statesmen whom they saw expressed the inevitable preference for peace in contrast with war as a condition of'existence. They even went so far as to commend their visitors, as women, for asking a termination of hostilities. But without one exception, Miss Adams says, these great ones informed her that she wasted her time in talking peace at present, and announced the,firm intention to go on fighting until the purposes for which the war was started had been attained. None admitted even the possibility of defeat. Instead, each asserted the certainty of victory ior his own side, and in phrases more or less suave bade her wait as patiently as she could for the magnificent and permanent peace tbat would follow the crushing of his enemy. Thos is prophecy for once justified and fulfilled. What everybody except this group of women said woaild happen has happened. Evesybody in Europe wants peace, but wants it on conditions that are to be secured, so far as anybody can see, only by waging successful war. The naive Germans are constantly scolding ns Americans for prolonging the war, but their real grievance against us is for deferring and making more costly the triumph they expect or hope to win. Not one of. the nations involved in the great struggle loves peace enough to get it, as any one of them could, and instantly by admitting its inability to fight any more and accepting the victor's terms. That is the situation which Miss Adams and her friends tried to change, and all they have achieved is learning, or at - least hearing, that fighting is for ends.���������New York Times. one Rate to Effective August 1st, 1915, the Long Distance, Telephone Rate between Vancouver and Nanaimo will be reduced to 50 cents for one minute and 25 cents each-additional minute.

THE WESTERN CALL 7 * Ar -^/ SPORTING COMMENT Vancouver lacrosse team had come-back day of it on Sat- rday when they walloped the Salmonbellies by 10 goals to 3 kt Athletic Park in a four-round Engagement of twenty minutes >er round. There were scraps galore, little lacrosse and burlesque refereeing. About 1000 fans turn- id out to see the fun, many of rhom held complimentary passes, and for their share of the re- xeipis the players will get little lore than the bruises they, received during the fracas. The red [shirts clearly threw the game, it Itakes no great degree of lacrosse sense to note that. They diliber- 'ately stood up and laughed at 1 the green shirt home scoring. And why not? One more win for the "Westminsters and the g.ite receipts end, and, the cup stays in its present home. There seems no doubt at all about the destination of the mug, but it is the dollars both teams are after and tbey are willing to stage a four-quarter scrap every' Saturday for the remainder of. the schedule in an effort to connect with the coin. There was nothing to the game. No science, not even in the rowdyism, nothing but fighting, slashing and tripping all the way. The outstanding feature of the affair was the exhibition of refereeing. Dr. Moody had absolutely no control of the players, and he early realized this and left them very much to their own sweet will with the inevitable-result, scrap, scrap, scrap. Since tbe fracas on Saturday Dr. Moody has followed the example of the other referees this season and has quit. The Vancouvers opened the first period with three goals to the champions two. The green shirts added four more in the second quarter and three in the final stage. "Westminster got one in the fourth period. Two new faces appeared on the lineup of the red shirts, Cooper on the defence in Bill Turnbull's place, and Swansdn on the home. The latter was an absolute frost as far as lacrosse was concerned, and made no impression whatever on the Vancouver defence. He is a little, fellow, but was scared to death to make a try. Cooper, on the other hand, is a good player, and will by next season prove one of the strong men on the Westminster line. Doughy Spring had an off day and did not attempt to take any of his famous chances. Micky Ion had the task of looking after Spring, and he did his work so well that the redoubtable Spring got only one goal. The Vancouver lineup was somewhat changed, owing to the absence of Crookall, who "is on the hospital list. Bill Davis took Crookall's place on the home and had a busy day with Tom Rennie. These two players were out after each other from the toot of the whistle, and were very little use to. their teams at all. Taken all in all the game was a farce, and the spectators were disgusted at the proceedings. And yet in the face of it Vancouver Engineering Works, Ltd.

Next Saturday there is another engagement of these regiments, when the sharpshooters of the champions expect to be in shape to win the cup. Prom reports the Vancouvers are holding target practices in great style this week, and it is to be hoped that the trenches will be in good condition for the fray. ��������� ��������� * One surprising feature of the lacrosse played in the coast league is the remarkable showing of Bones Allan. Allan has been in the game for at least fifteen years and has played all over the Dominion. He and Johnny Howard had many tifts in the eastern league before coming to the coast, and still Bones is going strong. There was a tXrne when Bones Allan was the star home player of the Dominion, and from the way he is still.playing he is certainly an acquisition to his team. ��������� * ��������� Dad Turnbull, Johnny "Howard, Bones Allan, Johnny Powers and Henry Hoobin are probably the oldest players in the Dominion, and it is quite probable that they could all show something if they got into shape. -..**. ������������������ ���������' The Victoria amateurs and the V.

VV"*'' * :������������������'������������������' .- The Beavers and the Giants are having a series this week in the Sound City. To date they have had an even break, and there is a probability of the Beavers coining out on top this time. There have been some releases from the local pay roll, Killaley having been canned, and there is a probability of more players being sent adrift before the week is gone. The local team is now in fourth place in the league, and the prospects for another pennant are not by any means bright. ��������� ��������� ��������� The directors of the league at a meeting in Seattle last week decided to continue with six teams for the balance of the.season. It was thought that one or two of the teams would be dropped owing to the financial position of the ���������league, but it now seems that the season will be completed just as they are, six teams, and probably next season will see a curtailment of; the make-up of the leaguel THE KAISEE'S LAST PRAYER Got, Got, Dear Got, attentions, Mease, Your partner Villiam's here; TJnd has a vord or two to aay Into your brivate ear.

FltANOB'S JJ8WJC0B A PRIZE WINNER���������VANCOUVER EXHIBITION In command of the formidable French fleet which is so successfully "bottling up" the Austrian fleet and aiding the British bat' tleships to sweep Germany's ships from the seas, is Admiral Boue de Lapeyrere. In France he is as popular as is Sir John Jei- licoe in Great Britain, .and, like the British leader, -he can boast many years of distinguished naval service.Admiral Lapeyrere entered the French navy nearly forty years ago. He took a high place in the naval examinations, and on obtaining his commission he closely studied the practical side of sea tactic^and combined his knowledge���������with the -theoryXbe had gained from the best naval books of the day. His capabilities speedily obtained recognition in high quarters, and in his early twenties young Lapeyrere commenced his rapid climb of the ladder of promotion. One of his early commands was in China, when he obtained distinction at the battle of Foo- Chow. His flagship led the attack against the enemy, and the personal courage he displayed made him the hero of France. Since then he has successfully conducted several diplomatic expeditions in the Baltic and the Mediterranean. It has always been the policy of Admiral Lapeyrere to accompany his fleet in the .fighting- line. He is not a believer in armchair commanding. He prefers to personally give his orders from his flagship to directing affairs from land through the agency of wireless. This means that he must face serious risks, but the French Admiral is quite ready to .encounter any danger for the sake of his country. He has spent many weeks cruising in the Mediterranean since the outbreak of war.- Admiral Lapeyrere is the same age as Sir John French���������sixty- two. He is a well-set, handsome man, with a head of thick grey hair and a neatly trimmed beard and moustache. His immaculate appearance is a by-word in the French navy, and he carries his love of neatness and precision into his dealings with the fleet.

"Meeting him one morning, I asked him to tell me the cause of his constant flow of spirits. "'No secret, guv'nor,' he replied, 'I've got a good missus, and when I go to work she al ways has a kir|d word of encouragement for me, and when I go home she meets me with a smile and a kiss, and then tea is sure to be ready, and she has done so many little things through the day to please me that I can't find it in my heart to speak an unkind word to anybody!'' And yet sbme wives don't try to encourage, cheer, and hearten their menfolk. A WARNING Vancouver Exhibition Entries close ^August-2nd.-425 pacific Building. In Korean thought women are not wor,th giving names to, so a pastor had to hand out names to those who had joined his church. They found them hard to remember, but they are slowly learning. Warning, according to a Tokio despatch, that the United States would not recognize any agreement between China and Japan which impaired American rights in China or endangered the so- called, 'open-door' policy, was conveyed to the governments of both China and Japan in an identical note from Washington, which was delivered about May 15th. The note was handed to the foreign offices of both countries a week after China had ac- ceeded to the demands contained in the Japanese ultimatum, insisting upon concessions from the former nation. The note sent by the United States was described at the time by officials in Washington at a caveat, intended merely to conserve the rights of Americans in any future litigation. It was referred -to as a legal precaution, and officials there wished it to be taken into consideration in the -phrasing of any treaties or agreements which China and Japan may make as a result of the recent negotiations.

Ltd* Cor. Fourth and Granville Bay. 1076 and 1077 The following article by the New York Sun gives a short and interesting treatise on the above subject, and one which is highly interesting in this time of great world change: V Palestine, it is estimated, can accommodate a population of. 6,- 000,000. With the establishment of new political control of the Holy Land it is intended that .lews shall migrate there from Russia, Germany, Austria and other European states. Thus, the leaders of the movement say, a solution will have been found for the race-old Jewish problem. Not only will the Jews have their own land, but an end will be brought to the discrimination against them in other countries. Partly as a result pf the Zionist movement, initiated several years ago, many American Jews have already made investments in Palestine. Jews in this city own a large tract of land in the neighborhood of Haifa. St. Louis Jews bought not long ago 800 acres near the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Chicago Jews control territory near Cana, where the ancient religious feast formerly was held. A vast tract in the vicinity, of Joppa is in the hands of Jews living in Winnipeg, while Jews of Pittsburg and Cleveland own 1,800' acres near Armageddon. The investment of foreign capital has resulted in marked improvement in the physical features of Palestine, it is said. Until a few years ago the country was a treeless region, with much desert land. The ground lias been rendered productive with soil formerly considered barren yielding, great wheat crops. It is asserted that nearly every acre from the sea on the west to the River Euphrates on the east, including the whole of Syria, and a part of Mesopotamia, may be made to blossom. American financial intervention has resulted, too, in the transformation of some of the cities. Damascus, for instance, now has a street railway system to serve its 150,000 people, and banks and industrial institutions have been established. Soon after the war started Protestants in England made an informal proposition to their coreligionists in the United States to obtain; joint control"of Palestine.Xlt was suggested that the Holy Land possess tourist-drawing qualities enjoyed by no other country, and offered extraordinary opportunities for development through this modernizing of intercity transportation facilities. There were to be rapid transit trunk lines connecting Damascus, ^azareth-andXJerusalemr^XAr branch line was to draw Mount Hebron close to Damascus. Mt. Carrael was to be brought within easy distance of Nazareth. Trolleys were to take Jerusalem visitors on excursions to Bethlehem, Bethany and Jericho^ All of this, the English propagandists said, would prove the greatest Missionary movement for the Christian religion conceivable. The success of the project was contingent, of course, on the wrestling of Palestine from the domination oi! the Turks. The present Jewish movement assumes also that a fresh disposition of the Holy Land will be made after the end of the war. leaders in the Boston conference assert that the possession of Palestine by the Jews would not prevent Christians from developing the country for show purposes. Rather, they see in such a movement the welding of a close spirit of cc-operation between the races^ They are ambitious to obtain Palestine for a national home, but, once established there, they would welcome the coming of visitors to the places of peculiar interest to Bible students, it was said."
