No. 12 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL ao, 1907 One Dollar Per Annum The Editor's Review Of Current Topics. When Greek Meets Greek, The prediction made in the last issue of The Week has been promptly verified, and the coal joperators of the Crow's Nest District have ieen cleverly out-manoeuvered by the iners, so cleverly indeed that the Hon. r. Lemieux had to announce last night reply to. an enquiry, in the Federal Par- iament that there was no strike, but that. en.had individually quit work without aking any. official declaration. This hows .how ineffective all legislation is.to j-ompel .men. to work if. they are not. wiling, perhaps it is-not generally recognized .•hat it would be equally ineffective to com- iel operators to keep their- mines open if. hey wished to close them- It is the iailure to recognize this .fact; which: leads thinking people to demand that the law hair be invoked to deal with breaches -hich "have not been committed. Mr. .eniieux' measure is an excellent one as ar as it goes, but the public have been led 0 expect too much from it. The utmost it ould effect would be to provide a breath- ng space of thirty days before a strike or ock-out could be declared, but without declaring a strike every individual miner of [he three thousand employed in the Crow's est district, can absent himself from ork and go fishing or shooting, or pay a isit to his relatives and fail to return, ust how ineffective Mr. Lemieux' Act was ound to be in the present impasse was [nticipated by those who bore in mind that orators and miners had already held a ree weeks' session at Calgary in the vain deavor to settle their differences and it as hardly likely that a further consulta- on would result differently. The case is a nutshell, it may be perfectly true as leged by the operators, that the miners ipresentatives broke faith with the con- ntion, in failing to execute the agree- ent which was within sight, but the fact at they have been sustained in this action per cent, of the men, clearly shows at they would have been acting in con- avention of the wishes of practically all [leir constituents, if they had done other- ise. The trouble lies just here, that the perators fail to realize the conditions rrounding the coal mining industry, ey are not experienced men; they know '■thing practically of coal-mining or the anagement of miners; they have not been [ained in the industry, and whilst most of em have achieved success in their own talks of life, they are entirely out of their [ement in dealing with important indus- al questions which call for special owledge and in dealing with that class workmen which above all others requires be dealt with on a basis of broad human pathy. The conditions ignored by the orators are, that the demand for coal is in excess of the supply, that there is admitted scarcity of labour, that the rkmen are discontented with the terms 'ered, that under such conditions no man be compelled to work or is likely to [*rk except upon terms with which he is Meetly satisfied, that all over tho world p coal miner has shown himself to be the fin who never counts personal loss or 'ering when there is a principle at stake, tat the only way to secure and retain pour is to satisfy its requirements. All jeso are sound propositions which Eng- lli mine-owners have taken to heart long lo, and which Western Canadian mine |ncrs have yet to learn. In tlie present instance the operators at first suggested a reduction of wages, a grossly unfair attitude, and one which in itself was sufficient to precipitate a strike, that it was only a piece of shallow finesse was proved by the fact that the demand was subsequently withdrawn and the operators actually consented to a 10 per cent, increase. Now, the chief; bone of contention is whether the miners on the east side of the Rockies, separated less than 20 miles from •those on the west, shall enjoy the benefit of an eight-hour day, which after persistent agitation, has been legislatively granted to British Columbia. That the mine owners of Alberta should be so pur-blind as to contest this point is inconceivable; the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Co. fought it for years at,a cost of several diastrous strikes, and ultimately had to bow to the inevitable. Just because the mines east of the Rockies are less favourably situated for economical operation, furnishes no reason for handicapping the miners; it is simply an attempt to remove a natural handicap by artificial means, and is as certain to fail as is every attempt to stem the tide of movements fore-ordained to success. There may be features of the present contest which may prejudice the miners in the eye of the public, and technically it may be possible for the operators to demonstrate that on the question of bonafides, they have a legitimate ground of complaint. These, however, are side issues, compared with the main difficulty which is that the industries of the Province are within measurable distance of being held up for lack of fuel, and that if the production of coal is suspended for a few months only, untold suffering and possibly widespread fatality may result next winter. Under such circumstances it is splitting hairs to force a quarrel on points of etiquette or breaches of faith. It would be easy to show that the latter did not originate with the miners, but that their present attitude is due in a very large measure to the way in which they have been deceived in the past. Their bitterest complaint today is that they have absolutely no confidence in the President ofthe Coal Owners' Association and they have voiced this sentiment in the Press. Let the coal owners take warning that they are watched by the people of Canada, who in some instances have made them a present of their coal lands, that they are expected to operate, to keep the country supplied with fuel, and not to throw tlieir mines idle periodically as has been the case for ten years through splitting hairs, or treating their employees in such a manner as to lose their confidence and render an amicable agreement impracticable. That these conclusions are justifiable is borne out by the attitude of tlie Pacific Coal Co., which will ultimately be the largest producer of coal in the West, and which lias already signified its intention of keeping its mines in operation under any circumstances, and if necessary of dissociating itself from the action of the Coal Owners' Association. There are some subjects Handle which can only be With Care. touched upon very light ly in the public press. In addition to the question of taste involved, the susceptibility of a community to unenviable notoriety lias to be taken into account, and therefore The Week wishes to preface any remarks upon this subject by stating that Victoria can probably show a better record in respect of public morality, police regulation, and the control of matters affecting decency than any city in the West. The occasion of widespread comment recently was a remarkable case of assault upon a goung girl at Victoria West. As the case was heard in camera, very few people are in a position to discuss it with a full knowledge of the facts. A Week representative was present, and has no hesitation in declaring that on the evidence submitted the Magistrate could not possibly have done other than dismiss the case. And this declaration is made by one who had every desire to see justice vindicated. The sole difficulty lies in the law, which is so framed that a child of fourteen may be assaulted by twenty men with impunity if she is a consenting party. The bare statement of this fact is appalling and a general knowledge of it should surely result in an irresistable demand for an alteration in the law. An indignant correspondent who will have every parent's sympathy, based his criticism of the Magistrate upon the statement that the girl had been doped; the evidence clearly demonstrated that the only dope used was beer, that she drank less than a bottle, that she had been in the habit of taking beer, and that it was brought to the rendezvous at her request. The whole case was sordid in the extreme and unfolded a picture of depravity happily rare, and unfortunately against which no law could be effective. The only excuse The Week has for referring to such a nauseous subject is that public interest demands that the few facts stated above, which have not previously appeared in the Press should be widely known in order that there should be a healthy demand for an alteration in the law. The following paragraph '' The Mote and is quoted verbatim from The Beam." an editorial which appeared in the Colonist of Wednesday last. It is reprinted at the request of a gentleman who occupies an important public position and who suggested that this might be the most effective way of enabling the Editor of the Colonist to see himself as others see him. It is also intended to furnish an illustration of journalistic consistency. While the quotation is verbatim the heading is not the same as appeared in the Colonist, but is our own suggestion. " THE LORD'S DAY AOT." ' No argument is necessary to show that by the action of the miners a very grave issue has been raised. We are now to learn whether the law of Canada controls the people of Canada or if tliere is a paramount jurisdiction, residing out of the country, whose commands can override with impunity tlie solemn enactments of the Canadian Parliament. We are not now concerned with the merits of the dispute between the operators and the miners. All the right may be on the side of the latter. That makes no difference. Tlie law has been passed to prevent what has just occurred, and WHAT THE PEOPLE OF CANADA AVILL WATCH ANXIOUSLY TO KNOAV IS IF THIS LAW IS BINDING, OR IS SIMPLY A DEAD LETTER UPON THE STATUTE BOOK. Tliere mny arise some question as to who shall assume tlio responsibility of prosecutions. We take it that the operators ought not to be required to do so. Tliere are so many obvious reasons why this is so that we shall make no argument upon the point. While the passage of criminal laws rests with the Dominion Parliament, THE ENFORCEMENT OF THEM IS IN THE HANDS OF THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS, and prima facie it would seem as if at the present time it is the duty of the Attorney-General of Alberta and later will become the duty of the Attorney- General of British Columbia to see that the necessary prosecutions are instituted to show that the law means what it says. AAre are impressed with the idea that this strike has been precipitated for the express purpose of seeing if the Dominion Government was in earnest when it introduced the law referred to. AVe would suggest that as the Dominion Government has taken the regulation of labor matters in hand, it ought to see the matter through. IT MAY NOT BE FOUND NECESSARY TO RESORT TO PROSECUTIONS, BUT IF IT IS, THERE SHOULD BE NO HESITATION WHATEVER IN INSTITUTING THEM. THE FIRST THING TO BE DONE IS TO SHOAV THAT IN THIS COUNTRY THE LAAV IS SUPREME. After that it will be time enough to consider whether or not the operators have shown themselves disposed to deal fairly by the miners. That aspect of tlie case we decline to discuss at the present time. AVe have some information on tlie point and are not without our own views respecting it; BUT THE MERITS OF THE ORIGINAL DISPUTE SINK OUT OF SIGHT IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO SET THE LAAV OF THE COUNTRY AT DEFIANCE." A New Comic Paper. The New Westminster Daily News has joined the comic papers. Just whether it will be classed with Puck and Judge or with 4*Ylly Sloper or Sis Hopkins is at present in doubt. The grotesquely humorous achievement which landed it in the Temple of Fame was the discovery that the McBride Administration had been clever enough to* 'get away" with $300,000 of the public money right under thc nose of the most brilliant Leader of the Opposition of whom British Columbia records furnish any account, and without even such a heaven-sent genius as thc Member for Delta, and such an immaculate financial critic as the Member for Yale having the slightest idea what was going on until the money had disappeared. Prodigious! Any Administration which could successfully carry out such a coup would immortalise itself, and it must forever remain one of the greatest mysteries of the age that the clever party represented by the New AVstininster News should have been unable to make this astounding discovery when it would have been of some service to their campaign. Alas, there is nothing left for the Daily News but to indulge in the not very sapient reflection that "the natural resources of the Province have been given away or handed out at bargain-counter prices." The News talks of fooling the electorate, but it ended in talk. The attention of The "OaveOanem." AVeek has been called to a circumstance which militates considerably against the popularity of Victoria, and with respect to whicli a little reasonable concession would (Continued on Page Four) THE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1907. m At The Street ^ Corner h Xf*f^/*> By THE L0UN0EK ~%yS\/—~f{t*"'f%S,& Few things in this brief and paltry life have given me greater satisfaction than the carrying out of the various proposals for the benefit of humanity, in general, and my own city in particular, which I make from time to time. At present I am most pleased to see in thc daily papers that the Council havc at last decided to pave Belleville street with cement, a matter which I have frequently brought eto their notice through the medium of these columns. But, more wonderful still, the vacant space at the corner of Government and Belleville streets is being filled in, and soon will look like a portion of Omar Kyam's garden. (I don't think that I have spelt the gentleman's name right, but it is near enough to express the sound I want.) Anyhow, I congratulate the Council on having at last undertaken a work which ought to have been started at least a year ago. Having thus expressed my appreciation I will go on to the subject which I have to bring before your notice this week; and that subject is "Noise." What is there that more disturbs us than "Noise"? Why do we consign the domestic cat to perdition; the bullfrog to the grave; the milkman to thc gutter? Is it not because of the noise that they make? Why do we with words for which we are afterwards sorry address the express driver as he rattles past our homes; why do we utter curses on the poultry yards adjoining our residences? Is it not, my readers, because we hate the noise they make? Many people have said to me that they would rather bc blind than deaf. With them I cannot agree. To live in a world of silence is a boon granted to few individuals. Never to be able to hear the man who wants to borrow two-bits; never to hear the voice of the insistent tradesman who is trying to collect his bill; never to hear the singing of thc society beauty who has the reputation of a good voice. Such must bc heaven. And yet man in his foolishness does his best to accumulate all the noise around him that he can. Who would not do without an egg, if he knew that the laying thereof would not awake him from sleep? Who would not forever forsake the flesh of the duck, if he knew that thereby he would not be aroused by that senseless "quacking," which is reported to have sent more men to a lunatic asylum than any other known cause? There are many theories I know as to the capabilities of animals in the speaking line, and they are supposed to be able to converse with each other. I have not the slightest objection to animals thus acting, if only they will do so in a reasonable and thoughtful manner. Just because a hen has laid an egg, why should she proclaim to the whole world the fact that she has done so? I believe that in that most excellent book, thc Bible, we are told that we should have no thanks for doing our duty, and it is obviously the duty of a hen to lay an egg. Why should a duck "quack"? Any information which she may wish to impart to her neighbour could be done in an infinitely softer tone. I have listened morning after morning to the quacking of the ducks, and I have never yet found that their conversation varies in the slightest degree. My own opinion on animals' language is this; that just as we have to learn French, German or Spanish, as the case may be, so thc animals havc to learn the language of the different tribes. For instance, the cat tribe probably understand each other, that is to say that an ordinary pussy-cat and a lion could probably converse on equal terms, but in order that a cat should hold a conversation with a dog it would be necessary for her to learn dog language. It is inconceivable that an elephant should be capable of continuing a discourse with a mouse in his own language; one of them must have learnt the language of the other, just in the same way that a Russian who can't talk English cannot be expected to carry on a dialogue with an Englishman who can't talk Russian. I have a further theory to propound. Just as amongst human beings the conversation becomes louder when not understood, so I believe animals make more noise when talking in unknown languages amongst each other, and that is why the cock crows so loudly in the morning, and why the ducks and geese cackle fortissimo. But the animals are not alone to blame in this noise proposition. Readers, whoever you are, I have a soft spot for you in my heart. This is only common justice, because if you read this sort of stuff you must have a soft spot for me in your heads. Are we mortals entirely without blame in this noise business? No, we are not. There are amongst us many men "of the baser sort," who keep steam whistles, who control steamers, who are in charge of clocks with a reverberant echo. These men also control our destiny; they awake us from a sound, refreshing sleep; they poison the whole day for us. Readers, shall we stand for it. Shall we not rather rise up in our wrath and rend their limbs asunder? Is it good for the world that more than half its populace should be awakened out of sound sleep simply because a man, an employer, chooses to blow a whistle? Is it good for the world that more than one-half its populace should be awakened out of sound sleep just because the captain of a boat wants to let other people know that he is sailing either into, or out of, a harbour. I trow not. I intend, therefore, to form a new society, in addition to those to which I already belong, for the "Abolition of Noise," and I should be grateful for the co-operation of any of my readers whom ay happen to appreciate my remarks on the subject. All subscriptions for the said society will he gratefully received by (Don't send them care The Editor). At half past four on Monday afternoon, an omnibus ran down a working man at the corner of Humboldt and Government streets, seriously injuring him; a crowd collected and several men rendered first aid. The poor fellow was badly cut and was quite unconscious. A patrol wagon was phoned for and on arrival the man was conveyed to the Police Station. My reason for referring to the incident is to emphasize the disguest expressed by every person present, and there was a large crowd, at the conduct of the bus driver who drove straight on as fast as he could, not stopping for a moment to see whether the man was hurt, or to render any aid. I do not know what the upshot may be, but the callous individual should certainly be dealt with suitably in a country which recognizes the claims of humanity. (&l fZ^-ZZ-r.

In mak ing this change, the association has acted wisely, since fruit is the staple product of the soil in and around Kootenay Lake, and constitutes the raison d'etre for the Fair. Much has already been achieved through the energy of T. G. Procter, James Johnstone, C. W. Busk, and other ardent and enthusiastic Nelsonites who have pioneered the fruit-growing industry in Kootenay. Each successive Fair has been better than its predecessor, and has fairly characterized the growth of the industry. This year, if the anticipations of the committee are realized, the standard will be raised; and the reputation of the Nelson Fruit Fair will be established on a Dominion basis. workable depth. Mr. J. O'Sullivan, F. C. S., of Vancouver, who analyzed the samples taken from the bore hole pronounces the coal to be "bituminous, of excellent quality and comparing favourably with thc best Vancouver Island and B. C. Mainland product. It is a good coking coal, suitable for metallurgical purposes." The most glowing anticipations are being indulged,in as to the future of coal mining in the Nicola Valley. It must be frankly admitted that Fruit Inspector Cunningham comes off second best in his controversial bout with the Editor of the Kelowna Courier. Thc latter has had no difficulty in proving that whilst Mr. Cunningham did not intend to traduce the fruit of the Okanagan, he made indiscreet comparisons which had nothing to do with the case. It is satisfactory to note that whilst criti cising him severely for this "break," the Courier compliments him upon thc energy and enthusiasm of his professional work. The Editor of the Daily Canadian says that he does not know what gutter-sniping is; The Week will enlighten him. It is to characterize the criticism which Mr. J. A. Macdonald, the Leader of the Opposition, has directed at the University Bill in the following words: "Such criticism commands our respect—thc respect due to honest, helpless, hopeless imbecility." The fact that this is a quotation from Ruskin, who was a competent critic, docs not lessen the offense. the interior. In its palmy days, Rossland was a good second, but both must now concede the pride of place to the Boundary, which, thanks to the extensive operations of the Granby Mining & Smelting Company, has a monthly pay roll exceeding $200,000. There is one very gratifying feature in connection with this splendid record, which is that although Granby is the largest contributor, being responsible for $87,500, tliere are two other large properties which are by no means inconsiderable competitors. The B. C. Copper Company pays out $42,500, and the Dominion Copper Company $50,000. It may be interesting to know that the total of $207,- 500 yields an average of $100 each to 2,075 men, which is probably the highest average earnings in any mining and smelting camp in thc world. Thc Nicola Herald publishes an interesting account of the operations of the Diamond Vale Coal and Iron Coat Coutlee. The result of extensive boring operations has been to prove the existence of important coal seams at a depth of 500 to 760 feet. These seams outcrop at the surface, and beyond the limits of the Diamond Vale property, and some doubts have been entertained as to their existence at workable depth, and in a workable condition. These doubts have been removed by the boring operations, and the seams have been located at The Consolidated Mining & Smelting Company, nuder the direction of Mr. W. H, Aldridge, is not only redeeming the Rossland camp from the disrepute into which it had fallen under the sinister influence of Whittaker Wright, but is establishing a record in British Columbia for earning legitimate profits and paying large dividends. The sixth consecutive quarterly dividend at the rate of 10 per cent per annum is announced for payment on May 1st, which will make a total sum disbursed since Mr. Aldridge took hcarge less than two years ago, of $700,000. The Phoenix Pioneer gets off its little joke at the expense of the Vancouver World in the following neat paragraph: The Vancouver World proudly states that it printed 2,905 columns of "clean" advertising during the month of March. As the World is not particular what business it puts in the clean class, it probably included thc ad of the British-American Copper Mines and Smelter Co. in thc lot. The Slocan Mining Review says that the Star-White case will result in thc survival of tlie slickest. For years Fernie, the Coal Capita! of East Kootenay, had thc pride of place as the heaviest wage-payer in The Hedley Gazette, published in what may bc regarded as a pioneer mining camp, is naturally interested in thc subject of industrial pursuits, and has been carefully watching developments in connection with thc prospective coal strike in Kootenny. It commented sagaciously, upon the real crux of thc matter, and laid its linger upon thc weak spot, in explaining why the recent conference at Calgary was not productive of any result: Danger of further labour trouble in the Alberta coal fields is imminent. It was most unfortunate that the operators represented by G. G. S. Lindsay showed their hand for a reduction of the wage scale below that which was made the basis of the agreement of 1904. Such a desire on their part was bound to create distrust and arouse resentment, and those are the conditions out of which labour strikes grow. The Lemieux Bill was intended to prevent strikes, but later interpretations of its provisions look as if it will fall considerably short of that. The bill is deficient in machinery to compel either side of the dispute to submit to the rulings of outside disinterested parties, and all that it can be guaranteed to accomplish is to delay the commencement of the strike for a term of thirty days. Secretary Cuthbert will havc to get busy as he now has a formidable competitor in the Convention line. Hitherto Victoria has been the favourite rallying point for summer conferences, but according to the Enderby Progress, Vernon, thc beautiful Capital of the Okanagan, is determined that Victoria shall not have all the good things going, at least this is a reasonable deduction from thc following paragraph: Vernon is the Mecca this summer of a large number of conventionists, as no less than three "annuals" are scheduled to take plnce within as many months. Early in Mny will be held the B. C. Methodist Conference, arrangements for which arc being made. This will bc followed in July by thc Synod of thc Diocese of Kootenay (Church of England); while later on the Grand Lodge of British Columbia, A. F. and A. M., will hold its annual communication thsre, The Oknnngnn is fast becoming the favourite convention section. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL 20 1907. EDITORIAL COMMENT (Continued from Page One.) confer a great boon upon thousands of visitors to the Capital City. Two gentlemen from Los Angeles who have recently visited Victoria, whilst speaking in the most glowing terms of the City and its surroundings, expressed their great annoyance at the stringent enforcement of the rule against trespassing. Thoy declared that in whatever direction they went in the suburbs, and further out into the opeu country they found notice boards warning and threatening travellers with the direst penalties, if they ventured from the beaten track. No doubt the farmers Avho put up these notices are strictly within their rights, but some discrimination might be shown between dealing with reckless urchins who make a bee-line across fences and through gardens without any consideration for the rights of ownersbip, and respectable citizens or visitors whose only object is to view the charms of the country. It is not a little annoying and surely quite unnecessary for such persons to be prevented from leaving the highway and making closer acquaintance with some beautiful marine view or stretch of landscape. The Week ventures to suggest to landowners who have been a little rigorous in their interpretation of the law and a little extravagant in the use of warnings, to modify their attitude and within reasonable limits to extend the courtesy of permission to enjoy the delights of rural Victoria, to the stranger within our gates. Walker Whiteside in the Magic Melody. Carnegie Library. The Week respectfully directs the attention of the Carnegie Library Committee, Victoria, to two facts with which it does not seem to be acquainted, or which otherwise, it seems disposed to ignore. The first is, that the attendants are uniformly lacking in courtesy; the second is that the usefulness of the Library is greatly handicapped for lack a sufficient number of suitable books. To the latter there may be a reasonable defense, lack of funds; if so it is surely not too much to ask that in order to keep this institution in a condition of utility, the Committee should either themselves organize a better financial scheme than the one under which they are working, or if unable to do so should apply to the City Council or if needs be to the public. It is surely an anomaly that one can find on the Catalogue several hundred books of little or no value measured by the easiest standard, whilst important books of reference, standard works dealing with Victoria, Vancouver Island, and matters directly affecting the history of the Pacific Coast should be conspicuous by their absence. The charge of incivility is one which can be dealt witb by the Committee. Hardly a week passes without a complaint being made to The Week on this subject, and sometimes, as in the latest instance, it was couched in bitter terms. The Carnegie Library is a public institution, public money has been and is being expended upon it, the paid attendants are public servants, and to the public they owe at least courtesy in the discharge of their duties. The immediate cause of comment upon this matter is a visit to The Week office by a gentleman of the highest position in the Province, a resident for more than thirty years, a public administrator, and a man of exceeding courtesy and kindness; he paid a visit to the Carnegie Library to obtain a standard work on Vancouver Island; his application was treated with scant courtesy and he ultimately learned that the book was not catalogued, although it would naturally be one of the first to be asked for, especially by visitors; but he bitterly resented the manner in which he was treated. This is the third time The Week has commented on this matter; apparently the Committee does not consider it of sufficient importance to take any action, or possibly it doubts the reliability of our information. If another complaint is made the full particulars will be printed, without submission to the Committee, since they choose to ignore what is not so unimportant a matter as it appears. Mrs. B.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL ?o, 1907. The Provincial Jaw Mill. Thursday, April 11.—The stormy debate waged for a fortnight about the University Bill came to an end today when the Bill passed through the Committee stage. The Government stood by their guns and refused to accept any drastic amendments. The two million acres originally provided for are to be alotted. Leader of the Opposition strongly urged an amendment, alienating timber, coal and oil royalties from the proposed reserve, but it was defeated by a large majority. Parker Williams and Stewart Henderson fought to the last. The Member for Yale finally attacked thc principle of a State University. Leader of Opposition secured one important amendment which varied thc title of the Bill, making it read the "University of British Columbia Aid Act." Friday, April 12.—The whole of the afternoon session was taken up with the adjourned debate on the Budget. The principal feature was the fight put up by J. A. Macdonald to secure the allotment of a portion of the Mineral Tax to the municipality of Rossland. Mr. Bowser was put up for a reply and ably traversed the financial criticism of Mr. Macdonald; on the division being taken Mr. Macdonald's amendment was defeated by 25 to 10. The debate was enlivened by a little sparring between the Leader of the Opposition and the Member for the Similkameen; the trouble arose from an incident which occurred last session when Mr. Shatford was called south by a telegram announcing the serious illness of his father. Mr. Macdonald claims that his sympathies had been worked upon to agree to a pair in order that Mr. Shatford might discharge his filial duties, and that subsequently he was twitted by a member of his own party with being "dead easy," because immediately after the vote on the Columbia & Western Railway Bill, Mr. Shatford returned, accompanied by his father. At one time an adjournment to the outside appeared imminent, but better councils prevailed and if Ajax defied the lightning, the lightning refrained from striking Ajax. To the great delight of Members who find the afternoon session all too short for enjoyment, night sitting has commenced. The first session was devoted mainly to a consideration of the estimates, when Mr. Hawthornthwaite brought up the matter which was suggested by The Week at the commencement of the session, viz., an increase of the sessional indemnity from $800 to $1,200. The Finance Minister intimated that the proposal was agreeable to the Government. The Member for Grand Forks and the Member for Nelson were to the fore with Labour Legislation, the former introducing an Act to establish an eight-hour day, and the latter an Act to amend the Master and Servant Act. The adjourned debate on the Bill to amend the Coal Mines Act was productive of considerable discussion on the subject of the Southeast Kootenay Claims and the Leader of the Opposition pressed for an amendment by which the whole matter would be referred to a select Committe of thc House, but on an assurance from the President of the Council that a special clause would be inserted to protect the interests of all licensees, Mr. Macdonald temporarily withdrew his amendment. Monday, April 15.—The whole of thc afternoon session was occupied by further discussion of the estimates. Mr. W. R. Ross, the Member for Fernie, introduced a Curfew Act, which will undoubtedly be popular throughout the Province, and should remedy an evil which is assuming extensive proportions. Another night session, characterized chiefly by thc submission of a lengthy and important resolution from Jno. Oliver, calling upon thc Dominion Government , to expedite the construction of a line of railway to connect the seaboard of British Columbia with the railway system of Canada. The Chief Commissioner of Lnnds and Works announced the policy of thc Government with respect to an increase in timber royalty from 50 to 75c. Objections to the general amendment proposed by the Government to the Land Act, were raised by Mr. Hawthornthwaite and Jno. Oliver. Dr. King moved the adjournment of the debate. Tuesday, April 16.—Tuesday afternoon was characterized by a vicious onslaught upon Fishery Commissioner Babcock by the Member for Delta. The allegation is that Mr. Babcock is incompetent and that consequently the Seton Lake Hatchery is a failure. Mr. Oliver declared that hundreds of thousands of salmon had died for lack of proper provision, that only once in four years does the hatchery have any measure of success and then it is not required because there are plenty of fish in the Fraser. He moved for a reduction of the estimates by the amount of Mr. Babcock's salary and urged his dismissal. The House smiled when Mr. Hawthornthwaite characterized these charges as "wild and vague," failing to realize the eternal fitness of things in this connection. Mr. Eagleson, the Member for Lillooet, spoke strongly in support of Mr. Oliver's allegations. The amendment was lost by a large majority. At the night sitting the debate on the second reading of the Land Act was continued. Dr. King upholds the increased royalty on timber, and expressed his fear that the demand for lumber might fall off, and profits become so reduced that the extra royalty would be a burden. Mr. Bowser moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr. Fulton introduced a measure entitled " An Act Constituting a Court of Appeal." He informed the House that the Dominion Government would pay the salaries of the Judges. The second reading passed with only five dissentients, the three Socialists and Messrs. Oliver and Jardine. Wednesday, April 17.—The whole afternoon was devoted to a final consideration of the estimates, which passed. Parker Williams distinguished himself by violent and invalid attack upon Ex-Commissioner Gore, for which he was justly rebuked by the Finance Minister. If upwards of thirty years of faithful service does not entitle a public officer to a pension it would be interesting to know Mr. Williams' ideas on the subject of pensions generally. John Oliver attacked the grant for the Agent-General in London, as also the appropriation of $15,000.00 to assist immigration. In the latter he was vigorously supported by Parker Williams, who certainly this session has taken thc muzzle off. An unprejudiced observer may be pardoned for concluding that the Member for Newcastle is not on the up-grade. Last session he compared very favourably with his Leader; this session the gap which yawned between them is lessening daily. The University Bill was considered on report and passed by a vote of 21 to 15, but Stewart Henderson raised an important point of order, claiming that the principle of the measure had been so varied by amendments to which the Government had consented that its original character had been destroyed, and that it could no longer be passed without a reference to the Lieutenant-Governor. There is a strong impression that Speaker Eberts, who has to decide the matter, may take the same view as thc Leader of the Opposition, in which case it is thought that the University Bill will bc abandoned at thc present session, a course which will be extremely regretted, both in the public interest and the cause of higher education.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY APRIL 20 1907. \% MUSIC AND I * THE STAGE * Of "The Magic Melody" which is I soon to appear at the Victoria Theatre, the Butte "Miner" says: Larger audiences have been seen in the Broadway Theatre than that [which last night heard Walker White- 'side in "The Magic Melody," a production which on its merits should have been greeted by a capacity house. But of a certainty no more sympathetic reception could have been given lany company; if it did not reach [(across the footlights and inspire the ljplayers one and all, it must be because they have been schooled to a [uniform triumph of interpretation. The play itself, reminiscent in details of "The Music Master" and pore reminiscent in the sweetness of Its story, is a work of art; the company which presented it last night lade it a vehicle of art as well. It is J'ich in genuine humour, humour subtle and refined and irresistibly appealing; it is rich in dramatic situations [hat offer opportunities for finesse in feting, and the opportunities were lproved to the full; but chief charm |f all is the spirit of sweet romance l/hich sings as the undertone of hu- liour and pathos and climactic pas- lion; which rises as cadenza in the |/insome hesitation of the love scenes id the sublime renunciation of sordid Imbition for love's sake; and which ■vvells to paean chord in the loveliness [f the denouement. The magic melody of a world trans- lending the hollowness of material- itic planes where money and social |i*iumph spell the canons of success istains the story; it rings in the si- fcnee of scenes where no word is >oken, the scenes where the flawless- less of impersonation was most engrailing. The company—a small one of seven |eople—contains seven artists. Mr. rhiteside, in the role of Helmar, is jorthy to lead such a company, and ke others are worthy of supporting Im. JThe young German musician merits |niche among the classic characters dramatic fiction. Unassuming and lodest in his struggles for recogni- pn, he is aroused to indomitably :eled determination when injustice I threatened him; his will and his re carry him to the triumph which claims as his right; and when fame [assured him, he rejects it as insig- icant if it demands the sacrifice of dreams and his ideals. Of Mr. jhiteside nothing is to be said; he ty have been on the stage last night, It it was Helmar who haunts the fmory. [iss May Buckley as Cloris Field- appears first as a simple and de- fed girl; the opening scene is but dawning of a winesomeness which I*ws into attractiveness in the co- :try with which Hargrave's pro- Sal is rejected; which commands reserved recognition in the story ne with her guardian, where she [ounces her own hopes for the sake [insuring Helmar's success; and ich reaches perfection at thc close, lere consummate charm is reached h no word spoken to mar the |lody. lo more lovable Englishman could [imagined than Lord Kildare, other- |e known as Sylvester Hargrave, Leslie Kenyon portrays.

It will be a distinct loss for one who neglects the opportunity jlee a play that is wholesome, en- lining and irresproachable in con- tion and presentation. son. For-pure fun, true sentiment and sound philosophy, it ranks among the best things I have seen for a long time. The play furnishes one of the very few examples of a drama which is scarcely inferior to the book from which it is taken, and I can readily believe the statement of the manager that the present tour has already netted Liebler & Co. $120,000. Its popularity is the best possible answer to the statement that the public does not appreciate a good play. On Tuesday night the Victoria Theatre was packed, and there was not a dull moment from the rise of the curtain until the finale. I am filled with admiration for the clever woman who dramatized it and I have no doubt that it will hold a place in popular favour for many years to come. It reminds one forcibly of the class of human interest play which J. L. Toole introduced to the British public thirty years ago, and which for twenty years enabled him to hold his own as the most popular English comedian. Where every part was taken by an artist, it would be almost invidious to particularize, but Blanche Chapman, upon whom the burden of the play was cast, played "Mrs. Wiggs" to perfection, whilst Charles Carter as "Mr. Stubbins," and Vivia Ogden as "Mis' Hazy," wer; simply inimitable. I hope that this healthy and thoroughly enjoyable plav will have as long a run as "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The New Grand. I cannot compliment the New Grand on its show this week; there are some turns which are good, but it does not present the uniformly excellent exhibition to which we have been accustomed to look forward during the management of the genial Mr. Jamieson. Fred H. Stansfield as a comedian and mimic is feeble; there is not much in his turn. The Bennett Sisters are beautiful dancers, of that there is no doubt, but it is a pity that they do not confine their talents to dancing; they sing songs and tell stories, both of which might be interesting if the audience could hear them; unfortunately they have not acquired the art of Miss Belle Belmont, who knows how to open her mouth. Barrington and his wooden-headed figures is good, but I must confess that I thought that this turn was a little out of date. However, what he did was good. ' Miss Marie Sparrow was excellent; her singing, her good- humoured banter and her stories were away above the average, and I think that the whole of the audience was with her. Archie Boyd & Co., a company consisting of Archie Boyd and Harry Knowles, present a very acceptable little sketch, which has the great merit of being original in the respect that there is no woman in it. For two men to hold the attention of the audience as these two do, is a distinct tribute to their acting, and I think that both acted well. I know that I was really affected during one part of their turn, and I was only too glad to applaud them heartily. The moving pictures are amusing. MOMUS. Irs.

N. Ry. DRILLING RIG COSTING $25,000 TO BE PUT TO WORK BY THE AMERICAN-CANADIAN OIL CO. OPERATIONS HAVE COMMENCED. H. L. Williams, of the American- Canadian Oil Co., who is at the King Edward Hotel, is in this country to start work on an enterprise that promises more for the Province of Aiberta than anything that has ever been undertaken up to the present time. Mr. Williams is an oil man of worlo wide experience. He spent several years in the California and Texas fields, and has the honor of being the first driller to put down .what they call at Summer- land, Cal., a submarine well. Backed by a strong company, Mr. Williams is going to start work at once on the Morinvllle oil field. He has already purchased a plant in Pittsburg, Pa., a portion of which has already arrived. This plant cost over $25,000, and Is re. ported to be the best drilling rig ever shipped to the Province of Alberta. "That oil exists In the Morinvllle field has been known since 1893, when no less an authority than Dr. A. C. Selwyn visited the fields in the interest of the Dominion Government. In 1894, J. B. Tyrrell, one of the best known mining engineers in America, visited the field, and ln 1898 C. M. Dawson, the Dean of Canadian geologists, accompanied by W. A. Fraser, the pioneer of Northern Alberta drilling, and Mr. E. Lyons, also Investigated the field. Their reports are all in the Dominion Geological Reports of their respective years, and they are unanimous in stating positively that oil exists in this field, and not only It exists, but that the indications are such as to prove as conclusively as the geological science can prove anything, that It exists in large quantities. "These visits by such prominent geologists were the outcome of the researches commenced by Mr. W. A. Fraser and other agents of the Dominion Government which led to the discovery of gas at Pelican Rapids. These discoveries of course are already well known to Albertans, and their story need not be retold here. Suffice it to say, however, that the Pelican Rapids well has been burning a million feet of gas a day for ten years, and it shows no sign of diminishing; that this low of gas was the only reason why the Dominion Government eould not continue the well down to a lower level at the time it was being drilled, and that Fraser, in his report, gives a very racy account of the prospects of an Immense flow of oil at the time he was compelled to abandon the work. "When this Fraser well was drilled, as the geological reports show, the first gas was struck at a depth of 355 feet. The gas had a very strong petroleum odor, indicating that they were working in what was undoubtedly an oil field, but it was not until they had reached a depth of 740 feet that the tar sands were reached. From that depth to 773 feet, the drillers were working in shale and sandstone which was saturated with petroleum that was thrown out of the well with great velocity by the gas pressure. At this level the Uow of gas became so great, as heretofore mentioned, that the drillers were compelled to stop work. At this time they were on top of the bed of slate which is believed to be the covering of the autic- linal or deposit of crude oil, "After a careful study of the conditions ln the Pelican Rapids well, Mr. Williams commenced, in the summer of 1905, to quietly do tome prospecting in the Morinvllle district. His first work was undertaken with an outfit which, while it served the purpose of prospecting, was far from being an up-to-date drilling equipment, and he put the hole down without any casing. The hole was put down 550 feet, and the log of the drillers proves that the Morinvllle field has the same geological formation as the Pelican Rapids field. The gas, which was first struck in the Fraser well at a depth of 355 feet, was found in the Morinvllle well at a depth of 660 feet, indicating that the formation dips ll/o feet from where lt was opened at Pell- can to where it is opened at Morinvllle. "Having proved this to his satisfaction, Mr. Williams proceeded to interest capital in his enterprise, and in this he has been very successful. He has purchased the finest drilling rig that money could buy, and has with him two drillers, Messrs. Benjamin and Bartholomew, who worked for him in California and Texas." This article in the Edmonton "Free Press" proves that the American-Canadian Oil Company Is a successful concern, that the work in the field is being carried on, that it is only a matter of a short time when the stockholders of this company will reap the harvest from the hard work that has been done ln the past.

VICTOBIA. 10 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1907. THE NORTHERN ARM NAVIGATION, LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, Limited. proposes running the vessel "Beaver" daily as a passenger boat between points on the North Arm of Burrard Inlet, and Cook's Slip: Vancouver, beginning on the 13th day of April and continuing until the 15th day of September of this year. PROPOSED SCHEDULE OF RUNS LEAVES ARRIVES Indian River 6 A. M. Deep Cove 7.50 A. M. Vancouver ; A.M. Deep Cove 4.45 P. M. Vancouver 6 P.M. Deep Cove 7.05 P. M. Saturday 12.30 P. M. Saturday 1.45 P. M.

M. The Company reserves the right to alter the above schedule without notice. The Company proposes to issue club tickets at the price of $3.00 each. These tickets will permit the holder to travel on the Company's boat at the following reduced rate: Single fare between Vancouver and Deep Cove, 15c each way. Single fare between Vancouver and points north of Deep Cove, 25c. The above service has been specially arranged to meet the convenience of those who wish to take advantage this Summer of the many beautiful locations on the North Arm] of the Inlet, suitable for Summer resorts. First and foremost of these places for Summer Resorts is the one known as DEEP COVE and the Company wishes particularly to direct the attention of the public to its' many advantages. DEEP COVE is within an hour's run of VANCOUVER, and the service now offered by the Company will allow of two trips a day to Vancouver from this place at very cheap | rates. The North Arm of the Inlet, on which Deep Cove is situated, stretching, as it does, for upwards of twenty miles, offers unrivaled opportunities for bathing, boating, canoeing, yachting, fishing, etc., on the safe waters within our magnificent harbor, and free from the danger that must often be encountered from stormy weather at similar resorts situated on the Gulf or Howe Sound. Lots can be bought or leased at Deep Cove for Summer Residences or camping grounds, with permission to use the pleasure grounds and bathing beach. Wharf facilities can also be secured for launches and pleasure boats. Some cottages will shortly be built for which leases can be secured. As the number of club tickets issued giving the privilege of travelling at the above reduced rates will be limited, and as the demand is likely to exceed the number that will be offered, those wishing to take advantage of these tickets, will do well not to delay in securing them. CLUB TICKETS and full particulars as to Lots at Deep Cove can be obtained at the Company's office at 510 PENDER STREET, or by addressing communications to E,j FRANCIS, Manager of the NORTH ARM NAVIGATION, LAND AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, P. 0.

In local shipping circles the feature of the past week has been the inauguration of two new steamboat services—one for the Skeena river and the other for the North Arm. Early in the week there arrived in port from Astoria, Ore, the new B. C. Commercial Company's steamer "Northwest," which has been purchased for the Skeena river run. She is a vessel of 324 gross tons and is capable of a speed of twelve miles per hour. The "Northwest" will remain in Vancouver for about a week for general overhauling, painting and inspection necessary to change her register from American to British. The steamer will make her initial trip up the river from Essington to Hazelton about May ist and will thereafter make regular trips, connecting with coast steamers. She will be in charge of Captain J. H. Bonser. The passenger boat "Beaver" of the North Arm Navigation Land & Development Co., Ltd., is now on the regular run between Vancouver and Deep Cove. The North Arm Navigation & Development Co., which has recently received certificate of incorporation, purposes running the "Beaver" between here and points on the North Arm of Burrard Inlet and Cook's Slip" until September 15th. Deep Cove is situated on the North Arm, less than an hour's run from the city, and is one of the prettiest places on the whole length of the shore line of the Inlet, and the promoters of the venture purpose making the Cove a prominent summer resort. The shore is admirably adapted for camping out, the opportunities for bathing, boating or canoeing rival those of the heretofore popular haunts. The waters of Deep Cove are admirably sheltered from storms, and altogether it is one of the most- to-be-desired places for pleasure seekers to be found within miles of the City. As a residential section Deep Cove land is bound to become extremely popular. Already there is quite a demand for lots in that vicinity and it is said that prices are expected to advance soon.

Robertson of this city, who returned from Winnipeg a few days ago, has just received a promotion to the position of supervisor of the British Columbia Permanent Loan & Savings Company. His connection with that company dates back nine years and he has been manager during that time in Victoria, Winnipeg, Halifax and St. John. He will have general supervision over the affairs of the company all over the Dominion, but will make his headquarters at Vancouver and make annual trips to all branches. It is reported that the Monarch Bank of Toronto will open a branch in this city. Today the local baseball season opens. Mayor Bethune will handle the ball for the first strike.

Can you show me the way to Georgetown, inquired the gentleman. Yes, sir, said the small boy, sticking his pole in a hollow stump of a tree, and proceeding to elucidate. The old gentleman thanked him and went on his way. Three or four hours later the gentleman appeared on the scene again. Caught any fish, my little man? Naw. Don't you know it's a sin to fish on Sunday. No, was the quick reply. What is your name, my little man? Billy Smith. Ever go to Sunday school, William? Know anything about Jesus? No, sir, was the somewhat delinquent reply. Ever heard of heaven? The boy shook his head doubtfully. Well, my little man, that's too bad. If you will come up to my Sunday school next Sunday I'll show you thc way to heaven. Oh, you go to hell; you didn't even know the way to Georgetown. It ls Vancouver's leading cafe. Excellent service.
