Fox & Co., Grocers, Columbia avenue, "Quite like old times" said the pioneers of the oamp who were present at tbe dance given by the Ladies Aid of St. George's church in the Miner's Union hall last evening. There was a very large crowd present, and first to last there must have been three to four hundred people in the room. Dancing was a bit jumbled but tbe dancers seem to enjoy themselves a bit the more on that account. Everybody seemed to be there, and mine managers, bank clerks, merchants, professional men, minera and their wives mixed up together in hilarious confusion. Added to the medley were flower girls, ice oream sellers, lemonade vendors crossing and recrossing the hall, jolly parties scattered up and down the walls bantering eaoh other and the dancers, admiring the costumes and indulging in general good humored gossip, while partaking of the refreshment) which were being vigorously Bold by the ladies and their assistants. The music was provided by Graham's orchestra and was splendidly adapted to the oooasion. The floor was in perfect oondition for dancers, and waa indeed treacherously slippery. The Rev. W. J. Wood, locum tenons of the parish, together with hiB assistants, the hoateaseB of the evening, Mrs. Boultbee, Mrs. C, E. Simpson and Mra. Bennett aided by Mra. M. W. Simpson, Mra.

LEANDER WON GRAND CHALLENGE Diamond Sculls Won by Another Leander—Trinity, Dublin, Wins Thames Challenge. The AaBSooiated Press quite overlooked the Henley regatta but ii oame off very successfully, the finals being rowed on laat Thursday afternoon. The weather conditions were perfect and there was an unuaally large orowd of spectators. For the grand ohallenge cup, Leander defeated Third Trinity, Cambridge laat year's winners by six feet after an exoiting race. Time, 7 minutes, 9 seconde. Special interest waa taken in thia raoe, becauae of Third Trinity'e misfortune in losing the services of P. E. Goldie, who' was indisposed and who had aa a substitute an untrained man. But for thia Trinity would have undoubtedly retained the trophy. As it was, the race was a great one, Leander from the start tried cutting down tactics, but Third Trinity held the lead until Fowley court was reached. Amid a roar of cheers the two boats pass- the Grosvenor olttb enclosure rowing level, but a little later Leander struggled forward and won. For tbe Diamond sculls, F.S.Kelly; Leander club, holder of tbe trophy, easily defeated Beresford, the victor over Juvenal, of Ihe Vesper Boat club, Philadelphia. For the Thames challenge cup Trinity college, Dublin, defeated Eton by a length in the first heat and the Kingston Rowing club in the finals, also by a length. Time in the finale, 7 minutes, 27 seconds. ViBitors' challenge oup—Univer- Bity college beat Magdalen college club, Oxford, by a length and a quarter. Time, 8 minuter, 26 seconds.

Phoenix, July 11.—(Special).— Boundary ore shipments thia week show an increase of over 3000 tone over the record of last week, the two largest shippers materially increasing the reoent average output. Thia ia due to the faot that all of the eight furnaces in the three Boundary smelters are being operated this week to their fullest capacity, consequent upon heavier receipts of coke from Eaat Kootenay and Washington collieries. A new mine added to the list of Boundary shippers thia week is the Ore Denoro in Summit oamp. The following shipments were made by the different minea: Granby mines to Granby smelter, 7,597 tons; Mother Lode to Greenwood smelter, 2862 tonB; B.

Three yeara ago a bylaw was submitted to the people for the building of a firehall and library and waa passed on the understanding that a firehall and library waa to be built. The architect, John Honeyman, proposed a building with an annex, the annex to be the library at a cost of $30,000. John Pean, then ohairman of the board of works, with hia finger in every pie aB usual, declared that the annex was not necessary, and would oost the ratepayers something they could not afford, and proceeded to get hie views adopted while the mayor looked helplessly on. A room which had been planned aB a gymnasium for the firemen and- whicb could easily enough have been made into a publio gymnasium and formed a source of revenue was set aeide for a publio library. It waB useless to urge that the room was entirely unsuitable, and the ratepayers were told that they did not know what tbey wanted when they voted for that library. John Dean of course knew that minera did not read. They could purchase their books, having a college training to help them in doing so and a long puree at their command. The room waB quite good enough. For 30 months that "public librarj," such are the worda engraved in mockery over the door, remained idle. Then the Bona of St. George took it up and after aix months trial found that the publio would not come to a plaoe that was over a stable and which as the weather grew warmer grew unpleasant. That is to aay that the room is entirely unfitted for the purpose, and again tbe citizens can thank the man who is the present mayor. It is true that the money that he ao carefully saved, knowing better than the very ratepayers who had voted for the library, was spent in outting down Davie atreet aa a monument to hia engineering ability, if for no other useful purpose as people cannot use the place, and in doing other grading, much against the will of the oounoil who had to drag him off almost by main force, and in building at the coat of $1500 or better, a oity shed whioh is an ornament to First avenue and an improvement on the $20 shack which stood at the corner of Sour Dough alley in the old days. The city oan thank the ex-chairman of the board of works for these noble deeda likewise. But having got thiB city into this hobble, having shown that its people are of a far less intellectual type than Nelson, which has made a auccess of its public library for four years past, it now remains for tbe mayor to prove to the oamp that after all he really did know what he was about and remedy the ■iluation whioh he, and no one else, ia entirely responsible. ON RECORD. We have now succeeded, naya the Victoria Colonist, in placing the Times on record that the policy of reenaotment pursued by this province is wrong. We may think that the province is wrong. We may think that the province is perfectly right to take only a verdict from a court of proper jurisdiction, as to its constitutional right to pass certain legislation. This question haB nothing whatever to do with the effect or purpose of the particular legislation. It is a question of whether it ie intra or ultra vires of a provincial legislature. The Minister of Justice has no right to interpret constitution, particularly when motives of policy admittedly influence hia interpretation. Nor has he any right to refuse to permit the matter to be tested by the courts, because, in his opinion, British Columbia oannot attend to her own affairs. What specially interests us, how ever, is the stand taken by the Times that British Columbia is wrong, and that the Ottawa govern ment is right, not on the substance of the legislation, but upon the vital question that tbe action of a sovereign parliament may be set aside by an exeoutive, without the question being settled as to whether that sovereign parliament was, or was not, aoting within ita powers. The position taken by Dominion government and by the Times would make a provincial legislature, not a paramount authority in subservient and local matters, but a subservient authority in all matters. If this position ia correct, the Dominion government oould disallow Bill No. 16, although that bill deals with matters again and again confirmed aa solely within the jurisdiction of the province. Suoh a principle would immediately denude the provinces of all vestiges of prerogative. Very fortunately for ua Sir Oliver Mowat made the great fight against this extension of the Do- minon'a prerogative, and in the fortress of provincial righte built by him, we are tolerably safe against the actual loss of these rights, but against their infraction we are never safe, and must tver be on the defensive. That ia why we re-enaot, and will continue to re-enact until we know that the legislation is either within or out- Bide of our powera. It becomes a question not of the immigration of others, but of our, own essential liberties. It is no longer a ques tion whether our way of dealing with immigration is right, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier's wrong, but whether we have the right to deal with it as we choose or not. The special point on which we are glad to have the Timea on record ia that it is definitely opposed, on the question of provincial rights involved, to a very large number of Liberals in this provinoe. We take three, Messra. Joseph Martin, W. W. B. Mclnnes and Smith Curtis. They have all fought for the right of the province to have this vexed question settled conatituionally and not by the arbitrary dictum of the Minister of Justice. Where are they now? Can they abandon a principle, even if they are prepared to defend the course taken by the Ottawa government on the substance of the question involved. They muet, if they are to fall in line with the Viotoria Timea and eoho its opinion as expressive of the stand taken by the Liberals of British Columbia. This is no drivelling question of personalities. It iB an intelligible question of political opinion.

ABHORS ALLALIEN SPECULATORS F- Carter Cotton Brings Accusations Against Conduct of Lands and Works- The World published last week the view which Smith Curtis takes of the ooal locations in Southeast Kootenay. In fairness to the present government the other aide of the case aa given by F. Carter- Cotton editorially in the Vancouver NewB-Advertiser, a Conservative organ, is herewith appended: "It is evident that a determined effort ia being made by alien speculators to oeoure the immensely valuable coal and oil landa in Southeast Kootenay that were comprised in the tract granted by an order-in-council to the Canadian Paoifio Railway company, which aotion was altera arda annulled by another order in-council, confirmed by Bill No. 16, passed at the recent session of the legislature. "Because the government has not granted these applications it is aoouaed of being desirous of aiding the railway oompany to get posses- aion of the landa, notwithstanding the aotion of the legislature in declaring that the company had no right or title to them, under the provisions of the land grant to tbe Columbia & Western Railway company. We are told that the government is guilty not only of conspiring with the railway company, but? of working a great hardship on honest prospectors by delaying to issue leaaea or grants for the tracts for which they have applied. "The 'Spokesman-Review' lets in in a flood of light on 'the honest f prospector' buaineaa. It gives a liat of the applicants which prac- f tioally is made up of brokers and [other speculators who see what j they consider is a rare opportunity to make some millions of dollars I by the easy going and careless methods that in the past have ' characterized ao many provincial administrations in the disposal of the natural resouroes of Britiah Columbia. "We intend to bring thia matter before the legislature when it meets and ask that a thorough investigation be made of tbe aotions of tbe j Land Department in connection with thia valuable traot of land. I There are aome matters that—to ■say the least—are singular if not lauapioioua. Several months ago [circulars were received from firms [in Spokane stating that there would [be an opportunity to secure these I landa. Persona here who received I these circulars oould get no inform I tion about the lands, although it waa evident that parties in the State 0. Washington were in re- [oeipt of information aa to the in- Itentions of the Landa and Works {Department in regard to them. "It will be remembered that in Lhe course of the session it was ihown that among the numerous Implications, of whioh notioea were liven in the newapapers, the names |f aome members of the House were acluded, although they diatinotly lepudiated any knowledge of the liatter. We urged that the House 1 paaa a bill to make doubly 1 the decision to reserve these lands for the present from alienation from the Crown. But thia did not seem to meet with the government's approval and nothing waB done. "Tbat the whole of this valuable traot should be reserved for the present there oan be no doubt. The chief commissioner in the Semlin- Cotton administration refused to grant it either to the British Columbia Southern Railway (as part of its land grant) or to private persons. He held that while there were ample ooal landa in that vicinity in the hands of colliery oompaniea to supply present demands for coal, the provinoe should reserve these lands in the same manner that the Dominion government is doing with the large tract it has in the neighboring Crow's Nest Pass district. With such a reservation British Columbia will have bave an asset that oan be dis-. posed of in a few years for a prioe that will go a long way to discharge the pro/incial debt. "Of what benefit would it be to the province to prevent the railway oompany acquiring them as part payment of a provincial obligation to it and then allowing the lands to fall back into the hands of speculators for a mere bagatelle? Yet until some explanation ia forthcoming this appears to have been what would have happened had tbe late government been maintained in office." ■ '-J-l-'i ^JSiTS'lSi -Wir-ifr Wanted— 300 Backs of charooa at onoe.

THE LOCAL EXCHANGE The Week the Slackest on Record. STOCKS SLOWLY CREEPING UP The Latest Quotations and Sales Locally Upon the Market. The midsummer season is proverbially the dullest in the year, and as far as the Btock business is concerned the holidays have not improved it during the past week, whioh has been the Blackest so far on record. Latterly, however, there is an increased demand for stocks, Rambler-Cariboo, American Boy and Sullivan are in good demand and it would seem as if the market would be much brisker during the coming week. Stock?, despite the slackness, have advanced in price, especially Payne. It is probable tbat (he recent aotion of the Dominion government in promising a bounty to the silver lead mines; is in one of the causes of the advance in prices noted. Nothing farther has been heard of Cariboo, Camp MoKinney, whose stock is still ap parently unwarrantably low. publio stocks are also quiet.

YET ANOTHER AIR SHIP London to Be Crossed at the Speed of 30 Miles an Hour. '"f INTERESTING TALK ON Influencing China. The Japanese are reported to be gaining more and more influence over the Chinese government. London, July 11.—A remarkable airship trial is to take place here with Stanley Spencer, the young aeronaut, who sailed over the northern suburbs of London last year, will take a new and powerful airship across the metropolis at a speed which may range up to 30 mileB an hour. A distinguished gathering will be present lo watch the start. Tbe journey through the air will not be on perfect weather condition*1, the great power ot the new ship being sufficient to force it through winds whioh would altogether step i smaller oraft. A storm might de' lay the start, but ordinary summer breezes will make little or no difference. The length of the new ship is about 90 feet and the breadth in the widest part about 22 feet. Be< neath the cigar-shaped balloon is suspended the bamboo framework carrying the one or two passengers, the petrol motor, the screw traotor or propeller and the rudder. Slocan Shipments.
