But\nlist revert to the greater aspect of\nIronation.

We are not praising\nourselves merely, we are accepting the\nverdict of the civilized world when we\nclaim that the British Throne and all\nwhich it represents of might, of power\nand of rule stands for freedom and justice, and for a greater measure of freedom and justice than has been attained\nby any other people. The King is the\nkey-stone of the arch which supports this\ngreat fabric; he is not only the key-stone\nbut happily he is the corner-stone, the ornament, the symbol both of might and of\njustice. Every ceremonial act in the\ngreat pageant which has filled the Empire\nwith delight and the world with envy\npossesses a significance which is but\nfaintly reflected in the gorgeous pomp of\na Coronation Celebration. It is the expression of an idea whieh springs now\nfrom Saxon, perhaps now from Norman,\nnow from Tudor, and now from Stuart\ntimes, but all pointing to the realization\nof a great idea, the preservation to the\nBritish people of British institutions, of\nBritish ideals and of the British symbol\nof rule. Our people everywhere are content that the highest expression of their\ngreatness shall be centred in one ruler,\nwho, as long as he interprets the will of\nhis people, shall act for his people. The\nhomage of 500,000,000 loyal subjects of\ndiverse races and climes springs from appreciation of the blessings which have\nflowed from British rule, as well as from\naffection for the chosen representative of\nthat rule. Let every subject of the greatest Empire the world has known bow the\nhead and bend the knee in humble recognition of the blessings which have descended upon them from age to age, under\na form of government which has not yet\nbecome too democratic to recognize a\nruler, and yet which is so democratic that\nlhey have been able to realize the highest\n\u25a0*\" nn of government yet attained, and\nprofoundly to believe in the hand of destiny, and the guiding of a Providence\nsupreme over all earthly sovereigns however great; that Providence whicii\n''Shapes our ends, rough-hew them\nhow we will.\nTHE VICTORIA CELEBRATION\nIt is not for the new-comers but rather\nfor the old-timers to say, and they do say\nit; that Thursday's celebration was by far\nthe finest in the history of the Capital\nCity. Much of this was due to the fact\nthat there are twice as many people in\nVictoria and (he environs now as there\nwere when King Edward VII came to\nthe throne. Never was the old saying\nthat \"there is sympathy in numbers\" better illustrated. Two things were most\nnoticeable: the universal goocl temper and\njoyousness of the immense concourse of\npeople and the picturesqueness of the\nscenery. The outstanding features were\nfirst and foremost the crowd. Then the\nsuperb decorations and illuminations at\nthe heart of the pageant around James\nBay Causeway; and then the fairy-like\nscene of magnificence of colour ancl of\nlife presented on Beacon Hill Park when\nthe whole of the parade had arrived and\ntwenty thousand people lined the hillside.\nWords fail to describe the beauty of the\nscene. It was almost Oriental in its significance and in its luxury and riot of\ncolour. But the gorgeous colouring of\nfloats and decorations were subdued by the\nexquisite masses of broom whicii suggested once more \"a field of the cloth of\ngold.\" It has been said, ancl said with\ntruth, that probably nowhere outside the\nCity of London was there a more brilliant\ndisplay, or more universal evidences of\nlight-hearted happiness. To this unqualified success there were many contributions.\nThe Government did their share well, contributing substantial sums in cash and\nexquisitely artistic souvenir programmes,\nilluminations, decorations and an official\nreception. The City through its Council\nmade a handsome cash donation, and the\nleading merchants and many private citizens, supplemented the amount. The\nvarious societies entered thoroughly into.\nthe spirit of the affair, and were well represented hy \"floats,\" most of which were\nmodels of constructive beauty. Families\nin every walk of life sent their lovely\ndaughters to grace the \"floats.\" Indeed,\nno one held aloof, ancl the celebration exemplified a unanimous feeling of loyalty\nand delight. Where so many people\nworked hard to ensure success it would be\nimpossible to name even a small proportion of those who are entitled to praise,\nbut it would be equally impossible to\nclose any reference to the celebration without according the highest possible praise\nto the Daughters of the Empire and to\na few ladies who were conspicuous in their\nlabours by day and by night. To the\nDaughters of the Empire is due the credit\nof having organized the celebration and\nto the following ladies in particular every\nman in Victoria should take off his hat,\nfor they set an example of self-denying,\nunremitting, arduous toil of which few\nmen would have been capable and in\nwhich they could only have been sustained\nby the highest motives and the most devoted loyalty: Mrs. Croft, Mrs. Hasell,\nMrs. R. B. McMicking, Mrs. T. Watson,\nMrs. J. A. Wylde, Mrs. R. S. Day, Mrs.\nMaclure, Mrs. Curtis Sampson, Mrs. L.\nG. Tilton, Mrs. Parker Hibben, Mrs. H.\nC. Hanington and Mrs. Jenkins.\nFREE ADVERTISING\nThe local Council of the W. C. T. U.\ndid not see fit to cancel the engagement\nof the Seattle \"Chadband\" who is so\nanxious to see the \"Stars and Stripes\"\nfloating over the whole of the American\ncontinent. One hardly likes to suspect\nthese estimable ladies of any lack of loyalty, especially in Coronation week when\nthe women of Victoria have done so nobly.\nBut it will for ever remain a mystery to\nthe mind of mere man how these good\nladies could consistently ask such a \"fire-\neater\" to address an audience in a city\nlike Victoria, which is nothing if not ultra\nloyal, after his vagaries in Vancouver had\nbeen brought to their knowledge. Obviously they did not view the matter in\nthe same light as The Week, and they may\nnot alter their opinion now that the Colonist has at the eleventh hour endorsed\nwhat The Week said. However, knowing\nsomething of the splendid work done by\nthe local members of the W. C. T. U.\nThe Week can only charitably suppose\nthat \"Dr.\" Matthews was not personally\nknown to them. After seeing and hearing him on Tuesday night they will probably be disposed in future to steer clear\nof vulgarians of this type.\nLAURIER IN LONDON\nIt is all very well for the Liberal Press\nto belittle the comments of the London\npapers on Sir Wilfrid Laurier's utterances at the Imperial Conference ancl\nelsewhere, but the time has not yet come\nwhen such papers as the Times, the Globe,\nthe Pall Mall Gazette, the Morning Post\nancl the Saturday Review aro to be regarded as irresponsible journals without\nany sense of the importance of their\neditorials. All these papers unite in denouncing Sir | Wilfrid's attitude on the\nReciprocity question. They take the\nground that the proposed treaty is antagon\nistic in spirit to Imperial unity and calcu-r\nlated to delay that perfect rapproachement\nbetween all parts of the Empire which is\nnow universally desired. Even if, which\nis by no means a fact, Canada would get\nthe best of the bargain, the policy is regarded by English critics as parochial and\nnot Imperial. But it is not alone the\nattitude of Sir Wilfrid Laurier on Reciprocity which has aroused the criticism\nof the English Press: it is his obvious\ndetermination to evade responsibility, to\ndisregard obligations, and if possible to\nconstitute Canada an \"independent kingdom.\" True he coats the pill with sugar\nwhen he adds the words \"within the Empire,\" but he ought to know that such a\nthing is impossible. There can be no independent country in a coterie of nationalities. The Saturday Review puts the\ncase in a nutshell when it says \"if Canada\nis content to remain part of the Empire\nshe must bear her share of the penalty of\ngreatness.\" The English people have\nfound out, what some Canadians have\nknown all along, that this particular idol\nlike many others who have gone before,\nhas feet of clay.\nA CHANGE OF OFFICE\nMr. W. S. Drewry, who has rendered\nsuch excellent service as Water Commissioner for the last year and a half, has\nbeen appointed to take charge of the surveys of the Government. Mr. Drewry is\nan expert surveyor and will be regarded\nby most who know him as the ideal man\nfor the post. Mr. J. F. Armstrong of\nCranbrook, who is temperarily assisting\nthe Minister, may possibly succeed Mr.\nDrewry. He is one of the most popular\nmen in the Province, having filled every\nposition which the Government has had at\nits disposal in the Kootenay for the last\nthirty years. He is universally respected\nand possesses the absolute confidence of all\nwho have been brought into contact with\nhim. If the Government should find it\npossible to retain Mr. Armstrong permanently there will be nothing but commendation for so excellent an appointment.\nA MUSICAL FLOAT\nOne of the most attractive features of\nthe Coronation Celebration was a musical\n\"float\" which perambulated the streets\nafter the fireworks were over and attracted a great deal of attention. The \"float\"\nwas furnished by the Victoria Transfer\nCompany ancl was hauled by three fine\nhorses abreast. It was decorated and carried a piano on board. A number of the\nbest singers in the city, male ancl female,\nmostly in carnival costume, rendered a\nprogramme of songs and choruses which\nwas highly appreciated and applauded.\nThis is an innovation in Victoria which\nwas suggested by the Committee of the\nAmateur Dramatic Society. It should become a permanent feature in all such\ncelebrations.\nTHE OVER-SEAS CLUB\nThe Over-Seas Club held its last meeting before the summer vacation on Monday last, and was delightfully entertained\nby the Cymrodorion Society. All thc\nworld knows that in the matter of singing the Welsh are pre-eminent, but all\nVictorians do not know what n strongly\nrooted organization the Cymrodorion Society is. To Mrs. Jenkins and her colleagues the hearty thanks of the Over-\nSeas Club is due. In this connection it\nmay not lie out of place to mention that\nthe Over-Seas Club and the Cyinrndorion\nSociety jointly raised the sum of $50.00\nwhich was expended in toys nnd other\npresents for the children in St. Joseph's\nand the Jubilee Hospitals who wcre prevented by sickness from otherwise enjoying the Coronation Festival. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1911\nI suppose that you have all been\n\"coronating.\" If you haven't you\noughf to have been; and I hope you\nall \"coronated\" nicely and didn't have\na head-ache yesterday morning; if you\nhad, you deserved it. Moreover, there\nwas no excuse for you as by special\ndispensation of His Majesty you had\na perfect right to drink his health in\nany non-alcoholic beverage you liked.\nAt the same time I admit that icecream sodas or straight lemonades do\nnot conduce to that fervent pitch of\nvociferous loyalty whicii is an integral part of a Coronation ceremony.\nHowever, it 'S all over now and as in\nall probability you won't have another\nchance till you are old and grey-headed, keep the \"head\" as a souvenir of\nas good a celebration day as Victoria\nhas ever seen.\n* * *\nConsider the crowds, and remember that it is only a few years ago that\nall this part of the world was practically unknown to white people. It\nreally seems marvellous where all the\npeople come from on these occasions.\nOne thing is sure, and that is that we\nare wofully lacking in hotel accommodation, and I am sure I don't know\nwhere everybody slept on Wednesday\nand Thursday nights. Hotel lobbies\nwere crowded with visitors who appeared to have had no idea that there\nwould be any scarcity of accommodation. We need more summer hotels\nbadly and it will be a long time before the supply will be greater than\nthe demand.\n* * *\nEveryone is unanimous in declaring\nthat the parade was a huge success.\nFar be it from me to venture an opinion as to the respective merits of the\nvarious floats. Probably Mrs. (Senator) Macdonald's was the finest, but\nI may be allowed to say that the originator of the idea of \"The Cradle of\nEmpire\" float is specially deserving of\ncongratulation. It was charming in\nconception and most effective in design. Of street decorations one cannot say much. They are of necessity\nlargely the same the world over and it\nis impossible to introduce much originality in the decorative scheme. To\nmy mind the most effective window\ndecoration was that of Moore &\nJohnston, real estate agents, at the\ncorner of Yates and Broad streets.\nThe German Club are to be congratulated on the musical design outside\ntheir clubrooms; it was highly original and formed a conspicuous feature\nof the illuminations. Of thc Parliament Buildings I need say little. It\nis impossible to express in words the\nfairylike aspect they present when illuminated; I had hoped, however, that\nthe whole outline would have been\npicked out by electric light. The Empress Hotel illuminations were superb; little short of them fell those of\nthe Post Office. The Causeway looked splendid as did thc boats in the\nharbour. I should also like to mention thc Dominion Express Co., Fletcher Bros., the Hinton Electric Co.,\nthc New Grand Theatre and the New\nEngland Hotel, where thc illuminations were excellent. It is a pity to\nhave to say that there were some\nstorekeepers on South Government\nstreet who had not thought it worth\nwhile to go to the trouble and slight\nexpense of putting on gala attire. I\nshould have thought also that our big\ndepartmental store, seeing how con- j\nspicuous it is in the present state of,\nGovernment street, and how many.\ndollars it raked in for decorations, j\nmight have done more in the decorative line than hang out a few flags.!\nOne thing more I must say in c^nncc- !\ntion with the celebration and that is\nthat there were far too many covered\nmale heads at the various singings of\nthe National Anthem. Possibly they\nall belonged to Americans. The\ncrowning feature of the day was the\ncarnival at night which was one mad\nriot of good-natured fun, music and\nlaughter.\nI like to see the way in which the\nCoronation has pervaded everything.\nTake the advertisers.and consider the\nskilful manner in whicli they turn a\nworld-famous event to their own material use. I admire the inventive\nbrain which can turn such things to\ngood and useful account. See the\npompous herald proclaiming the merits of J. N. Harvey Company; admire\nthe striking yet subdued note struck\nby Weiler Bros, in their newspaper\nadvertisements of the 22nd; just two\nsceptres, a crown, the Royal Arms\nand a phtriotic sentiment. I always\nhave been fond of reading advertisements and these two coining as they\ndid at the right time took my fancy.\nWell, I have discoursed enough of the\nCoronation celebration. May it be\nmany a long day before any of us witness another.\n* * *\nIt was only just lately that I made\nsome pungent remarks with regard to\nthe way in which the unfortunate inhabitants of the Islands in the Gulf\nwere now being left without proper\npassenger steamer service. Since that\ntime the launch which was used to\ncarry the mails has been burnt and\nthe Islanders are worse off than before. \u2022 However, I am pleased to be\nable to state that this condition of affairs is now. being remedied to some\nextent. .Messrs. Beckett & Major, a\nnew real estate firm who have opened\nup an office on Langley street in the\neity, together with two others have |\nplaced a launch into commission\nwhich will be licensed to carry passengers, ancl will leave Victoria twice\na week. The \"Tuladi,\" as the boat is\ncalled, is a gasoline schooner 60 feet\nlong with a beam of IS feet and driven by engines of 45 horse-power. She\nwill be capable of carrying 35 to 40\npassengers and 60 tons of freight. The\n\"Tuladi\" will be under the command\nof Captain M B. Wi'son, F. R. G. S.,\nlate of the Liverpool Salvage Company, who was successful in raising\nthe \"Gladiator\" and who brought the\n\"Suevic\" into dock after she had been\ncut in two. Captain Wilson with his\nbrother, Mr. Ashley Wilson, are the\nother two members of the syndicate\nwho are responsible for placing the\n\"Tuladi\" on the run. Messrs. Becket\n& Major have large interests throughout the Islands and state that they\nare in a position to bring a considerable amount of British capital into\ncirculation.\n* * *\nBut this is not all. Readers of The\nWeek will notice an advertisement in\nthe current issue to the effect that the\nC. P. R. is putting the steamer \"Don\"\n(Capt. Bottrill) on the Islands route.\nThe \"Don\" will leave Victoria three\ntimes in the week and will carry both\npassengers and light freight. It would\ntherefore seem that the Islanders will\nhave no cause for further complaint as\nregards thc question of transportation.\nThey had sufficient cause, goodness\nknows, and at one time it seemed as\nthough their prayers were never to be\nanswered, but all things come to those\nwho know how to wait long enough,\nancl to supplement the period of waiting by the presentation of frequent petitions. By the way, it's a curious thing\nbut 1 always manage to get my pen\non to paper just before the needed reform is concluded. Or is it sometimes\nthe case that the reform is the result\nof the pen. However, as I have remarked before, there are strange coincidences in this world.\n* * *\n1 hear that within a short time\nthere is to be another \"grill\" in Victoria. 1 am told that the Westholme\nHotel is to institute this popular form\nof restaurant. There is plenty of room\nin the city for another \"grill,\" provided that it be one of the right sort.\n\"Murphy's\" is invariably crowded at\nlunch and dinner times, and it is not\nalways easy to find room at the Empress. The Westholme being right in\nthe heart of town -should make a suc\ncess in its venture. A little bird has\nwhispered to me that there is some\nchance of Professor Nagel being invited to take charge of an up-to-date\norchestra in connection with this\nscheme. I hope that this is true, for\nthen there can be no doubt but that\ngood music will be \"on tap\" all the\ntime. The Professor is well known\nthroughout the city as a capable and\nsympathetic pianist who has the faculty of being able to drag the music\nout of his orchestra and who has also\nthe divine gift of knowing how to fit\nhis music to the occasion. If the management have really decided to have\nan orchestra they could not find a better man to take charge of it than Herr\nNagel.\n* * \u25a0*\nIt would appear that there are occasions when the person or persons\nresponsible for the turning out of the\nslight lack of common or horse\nslight lack of common sense or horse\nsense. As a rule these electric clusters are extinguished at midnight or\nthereabouts, but one would have\nthought that whenever the theatre is\ngoing to sit so late that even the\ntramway company have to provide extra cars after hours the lights might\nbe left on till everybody has had a\nchance to make a get-away. Not so\nhowever. For instance, when the So-\nthern-Marlowe Company were here in\ntheir Shakespearean repertoire the audience made its way out into the darksome streets and had to find its individual cars, hacks, and Shanks'\nmares as best it individually could. It\nis a pity that \"Hamlet\" did not happen\nto have been the play of the evening,\nso that Mr. Sothern could have laid\nspecial emphasis on those words\n\"There is something rotten in the\nState of Denmark.\"\n* * *\nWhen the policy of non-segragation\nwas. first inaugurated in Victoria 1 inveighed against it iu these columns\nancl amongst other things.I-said that\nil meant that when people went away\nfor a prolonged holiday and let their\nhouses, unless they took the utmost\ncare in the negotiations they would be\nliable, to find that their temporary\ntenants were draw-n from an undesirable class. The truth of my prophecy\nhas been proved. A highly respectable family in a highly respectable\nquarter of the town lately left for\nEngland and apparently did not exercise all the care which they should\nhave clone in examining into the credentials of tlieir incoming tenants. A\nfriend from the country on coming\ninto town determined to pay a surprise visit, knowing nothing of the\nchange. Judge of his surprise when\nthe door was opened by a \"lady\" with\nthe encarmined lips and blazoned\ncheeks of the demi-monde. On another occasion a householder had to\nwarn callers to be sure and not make\na mistake as to the house, as the one\nnext door had been sub-let in ignorance to \"ladies of an undesirable\nclass. \" Whicii makes it bad again,\ndoesn't it, for those who pride themselves on the high respectability of\ntheir neighbourhoods. Well, they\nknow where to lay the blame, and it's\nnot an atom of good trying to put it\non the shoulders of erring humanity\nas a whole.\nafri\n\"^OK^t,\nVICTORIA L.AND DISTRICT\nDistrict of Coast, Range 1\nTAKE notice that I, Ernest Austen\nHall, of Vancouver, B.C., occupation\nAuto Dealer, Intends to apply for permission to purchase the following de-\nsei-lbeil lands:\u2014Commencing at a post\nplanted Immediately adjoining Thomas\nS.

Criticism of this play has\nlong since been annihilated. \"Who\nbuilds stronger,\" queried the First\nGravedigger, \"the mason, the shipwright or the carpenter?\" The\nanswer should have been, Denman\nThompson. Verily the play that hc\nbuilded will \"last till Doomsday.\" It\nis not so much of a drama now as\nan institution. The production in this\nthe twenty-fifth season of \"The Old\nHomestead\" is said to be up to the\nsame standard of excellence which has\nengagement at Terry's Theatre, was\na very successful one both artistically\nand financially.\nThe play embraces a strong yet natural development of the humorous\nand pathetic and Aunt Mary is a\n\"scream.\" The same company and\neffects that were seen in London will\nlie seen here when Miss Robson appears on Tuesday, June 27, at Victoria\nTheatre.\nThe story of the play concerns a\nmaiden aunt who has always lived in\na country village with strong prejudices against the larger cities. Her\nnephew, who is a student in college\ncontrived to avoid all peaceful pleasures by getting involved in all sorts\nof scrapes\u2014the last one being a fight\nwith a cabman whom he injured. To\navoid the law and publicity, it is necessary to appeal to Aunt Mary for\nfive hundred dollars to settle the case.\nThe next interesting episode in the\nyoung man's career is a breach-of-\npromise case, to cap the climax of\nAunt Mary's patience; she disinherits\nMay Robson, who will present her delightful comedy, \"The\nRejuvenation of Aunt Mary,\" at the Victoria Theatre,\nTuesday, June 27th\nalways been the aim of the manage- *\nment.

Short addresses of congratulation will be given by delegates from\nthe Synod of British Columbia, the\nB. C. Methodist Conference, the\nChurch of England, and other organizations. At the end of this programme the ladies of the congregation will take the meeting in hand.\nThis celebration marks an interesting period in the history of Presbyterianism in the province. While the\nChurch of Scotland, and the Canadian Presbyterian Church were discussing the advisability of sending a\nmissionary to British Columbia, the\nColonial Committee of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland sent to Vancouver Island'the Rev. John Hall. He\narrived in Victoria, and preached the\nfirst sermon midst Presbyterian auspices on the last Sabbath of June,\n1861. On the 3rd February, 1862, a\nmeeting was held, and the congregation of First Presbyterian Church\nwas organized. In March, 1863, His\nHon. Chief Justice Cameron laid the\nfoundation stone of First Presbyterian\nChurch, which was opened for public\nworship the 15th November of the\nsame year.\nOn the Sabbath 6f the Church dedication the Rev. James Munro, missionary of the Church of Scotland,\nwho arrived in Victoria early that\nyear, preached an appropriate sermon in the forenoon, and the Rev. Dr.\nEvans of the Wesleyan Methodist\nChurch, preached in the evening. The\nColonist of the 16th November of\n1863, has this item:\n$314, making, with the proceeds of\nthe service lately held in the building,\na gross amount of upwards of $1,000.\"\nThis Church opening was a great\nday of rejoicing among the little\nbands of Presbyterians in the city.\nWhile the Church in many ways had\na checkered history, and much up-hill\nwork, for sometimes \"the winds were\ncontrary,\" it did noble work for God\nand the people during the fifty years\nsince the first sermon was preached\nby Mr. Hall on the last Sunday' of\nJune, 1861.\nThe Church was burnt a couple of\ntimes, and when repaired was always\nmade larger and more comfortable\nthan it was before the fire.\nAfter four years' pastorate Mr. Hall\nresigned to go as missionary to Australia. Mr. Munro was withdrawn,\nand the Colonial Committee of the\nChurch of Scotland sent out Mr. Som-\nerville, who afterwards was for many\nyears minister of Grey Friar's Church,\nGlasgow.\nAbout two years after the arrival\nof Dr. Somerville, trouble arose in\nthe congregation of First Church, and\nan exodus took place when Dr. Somerville and with him many of the congregation organized St. Andrew's\nChurch.\nIn 1876 Dr. Reid was sent from\nEngland and re-opened services in\nFirst Church. The scattered fragments of Presbyterianism were soon\ngathered together, and a vigorous congregation once more worshipped at\nthe corner of Pandora and Blanchard\nstreets.\nHalf a Century of\nPresbyterianism\nin Victoria\n(Contributed)\nNext Sunday, the 25th inst., First\nPresbyterian Church of this city will\ncelebrate the jubilee of the introduction of Presbyterianism into British\nColumbia. The Rev. Professor Stalker.\nD.D., of Glasgow, will preach in thc\nforenoon, and the Rev. Principal MacKay, D.D., of Westminster Hall, in\nthe evening. A mass meeting of\nPresbyterian Sunday Schools and\ntheir friends will be held at 3 p.m.,\nwhen Principal MacKay and Professor Stalker will give suitable addresses.\n\u2022 On Monday evening a Jubilee Assembly will be held when His Honour\nCORONATION DAT\nEmpires of old have risen; slowly like dying stars\nThey have dwindled again to darkness, or perished in wrath and pain,\nRuled by the rod of terror, harried and seamed with scars,\nOffsprings of vain endeavour, born of a tyrant's brain.\nWeak from the lust of conquest, they lived but a little space\u2014\nAh, must ours vanish as they did, unfitted for God's great plan?\nNay, for our fathers built it to the glory of our race\nOn freedom, truth, and justice, and love for our fellow man.\nTherefore, true to the light that shines in our nation's soul,\nWe hold to the great traditions to which our race must cling,\nAnd rivet the link that binds us into one mighty whole:\nWith the stern Crown of Duty this day we crown our King,\nPraying that Heaven may help him in this tremendous hour;\nKnowing that he will follow the path his father trod,\nThat his mind will grow in wisdom and his words be filled with power,\nStrong in the love he bears us and the faith that he has in God.\nNot in the spirit of children who fondle a glittering toy,\nAlthough with azure and scarlet full half the world be gay,\nBut in deep thought with reason our hearts are stirred for joy,\nFor the Empire of our fathers has honoured her Throne today!\n\u2014W. H. S.\n\"Church Dedication\n\"The First Presbyterian Church of\nVancouver Island was formally opened for divine service yesterday. Ere\nthe deep, heavy tones of the fine new\nbell had ceased to vibrate through\nthe building, it was crowded to excess by a large and attentive congregation, a great many being unable to\nobtain admittance. The Rev. James\nMunro, missionary from the Church\nof Scotland, officiated at the morning\nservices, and delivered an appropriate\nand excellent discourse, selecting as\nhis text the following beautiful words\nfrom the sublime prayer of Solomon\nat the dedication of the Temple. \"The\nLord our God be with us, and he was\nwith our fathers. Let Him not leave\nus nor forsake us; that He may incline our hearts unto Him, to walk\nin all His ways, and to keep His commandments, and His statutes, and\nHis judgments, which Hc commanded our fathers.\"\n\"The evening services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Evans, pastor of\nthe Wesleyan Methodist Church, who\npreached to a densely crowded audience, an able and eloquent sermon\nfrom Romans 1:16, 'For I am not\nashamed of the gospel of Christ; for\nit is the power of God unto salvation\nto every one that believeth; to the\nJew first and also to the Gentile.'\n\"The collections which were taken\nup in aid of the building fund\namounted to the handsome sum of\nWhen Dr. Reid withdrew he was\nsucceeded by Rev. J. Gamble of the\nAmerican Presbyterian Church, whose\npastorate was less than two years.\nAfter Mr. Gamble's resignation the\ncongregation extended a call in 1884\nto the Rev. Donald Fraser, M.A.,\nof Mount Forest, Ontario, which was\naccepted, and Mr. Fraser began work\nin Victoria in August of that year.\nMr. Fraser was'a man of commanding appearance and forceful character,\nof strong convictions and moral character, a robust highlander from the\nCount: of Glengarry. He was educated at Queen's University, and had\ntwo pastorates previous to that of\nFirst Presbyterian Church here. Mr.\nFraser died in 1891, and was succeeded by the present pastor, Dr.\nCampbell, whose induction on the\n22nd of June, 1892, was the last official act of the Presbytery of Columbia, for that month the General Assembly divided the Presbytery into\nthree Presbyteries\u2014Victoria, Westminster and Kamloops, to constitute\nthe Synod of British Columbia.\nIn this city Presbyterianism has\nkept pace with the growth of population, and has been for fifty years\none of the strong factors for the elevation of character, moral purity and\nthe preaching of the gospel of Jesus\nChrist.\nBesides First Church and St. Andrew's there are now in Victoria three\nother vigorous and well organized\nIndependent of all Combines\nKirkham's Wine am\nLiquor Store\nhas responded well to the requirements of Victoria's most particula\npeople.

The new\npremises will be 40 x 30 feet, with\nfull basement and two storeys high.\nIt will, wc understand, be after the\nstyle of the structure usually erected\nby this banking institution and is estimated to cost here in the neighborhood of $20,000.\nWestern Fire Fighters.\nFire fighters from all over the west\nwill meet in Calgary during the exhibition, when the sixth annual convention of the Western Canada Firemen's association will be held.

For which\nthey would probably bc truly thankful. In nearly all other cases where a\nbody of men have to perform any\nwork or business for their fellows, thc\npublic for whom they act has an opportunity of learning how each individual carries out his part of thc work,\nbut in the case of a jury it is, or ought\nto bc, impossible to lind out how each\nman acted, so that a just and sensible\nman who desires to bring in a verdict\nin accordance with the facts of the\ncase has to suffer thc ignominy and\nobloquy incurred by a weak and silly\nmajority. It is true that a minority\ncan and often docs (to its credit) hold\nout against thc majority, so that the\njury disagrees and is at length dismissed. But to do this requires a sacrifice of valuable time and thc protraction of a very disagreeable duty performed under disagreeable conditions.\nIt is no use pretending that this is not\na money-grabbing age or that wc are\nnot a money-grabbing people, and a\nman deserves greal praise who is\nready and willing to sacrifice his interest and possibly make great financial losses in the service of the public.\nBut because of these defects the system must not be entirely condemned.\nIt has many obvious virtues which far\noutweigh its defects. Still those defects are so serious that any change\nwill be welcome, and in these days of\nadvanced thought and enlightenment\nit should surely be possible to devise\na better arrangement. I regret that I\nhave never heard even a suggestion of\nsuch a one, npr do I pretend even to\nhave the glimmerings of one in my\nown brain, but I think the subject is\none of such great importance that no\nharm can be done by turning public\nattention to it in the hope that some\nbright idea for a remedy may spring\ninto being and so faulty a system may\nbe replaced by one which will insure\njustice to all without calling for any\nsacrifice at all from the men who arc\ncalled upon to perform it. It is a\npleasure to note that the treatment of\njurymen by all the officers of the\ncourt from the judge down to the\nlowest official is now marked by more\ncourtesy and consideration than used\nto be the case only a few years ago.\n1 am, etc.,\nCHARLES ST.

A. RENWICK,\nDeputy Minister of Lands,,\nLands Department, Victoria, 8, Q,v\nApril 10th, 1911.\napl15 Julyl* 8\nTHE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1911\n\"Then think of the enormous demand which the constant\nincrease of our great cities and the building of new cities must\nexert on the timber market. In the three Prairie Provinces of the\nDominion, stretching, as they do, for hundreds of miles, from\nWinnipeg to the foot of the Rockies, new and handsome cities\nhave been springing up within the past few years as if by magic.\nThe growth in population of several of these Prairie cities is\nmeasured within a very few years by hundreds per cent. This\nmovement is not showing any signs of slackening, but, on the\ncontrary, the growth of our new cities in the West is accelerated\nyear by year by the ever-rising tide of emigration from Eastern\nCanada, from all parts of the United States, and from Europe.\nYou may say that every fresh homestead that is broken up by\nthe eager settler calls, directly or indirectly, for the cutting of so\nmuch stumpage. But the Prairie Provinces, rich as they are in\nalmost everything which civilized man can desire, are practically\ntimberless. They must have timber, and plenty of it, from somewhere; as things are, their only store-house is British Columbia.\nIn Eastern Canada the lumbermen have been busy\u2014too busy, perhaps\u2014for a quarter of a century past, and limits in the Provinces\nof Quebec and Ontario which were worth not more than a couple\nof dollars, say, fifteen years ago, would fetch $12 to $14 today per\n1,000 ft. on the stump. But in British Columbia there is still a\ngreat store of standing timber, most of it of quality almost unattainable elsewhere.\n\"At first sight it might seem strange that such a belt of\nstanding timber should be left in our province and be obtainable\nat such reasonable figures. But the explanation is simple enough.\nTo begin with, we are a young province, in this sense\u2014that till\niecently our means of communication with Eastern Canada and\nwith our neighbours in the south were limited. Today all this is\naltered, lt will be but a short time before our coast cities will\nbe the western gateway of the British Empire, in direct railway\ncommunication with every part of the North American continent.\nThe tonnage of our shipping has grown by leaps within the past\ndecade, but what bounds can be put to its development in the near\nfuture, when the Panama Canal will afford a ready passage\nbetween the two great oceans of the world? Of course, I cannot\nlix the exact day, but this revolution in the world's commerce cannot now be delayed many years; probably the news that the first\nvessel has passed through the Canal will be flashed to all points\nof the globe within four years.\n\"It is easy to see what effect this must exercise on our great\ntimber industry. It has been said that the active interest lately\ntaken by American capital in our timber limits has been largely-\nstimulated by an idea, current on the other side of the border, that\nsome sort of reciprocal arrangement between Canada and her\nneighbour was imminent. I fancy there is a good deal of exaggeration in this view. Less than six months ago few American\nfinanciers, I believe, would have gambled on Reciprocity, to use\none of their current terms. The fact isthat, quite apart from any\nquestion of Reciprocity, it has been obvious for some years that\nthe day was fast approaching when the United States, with nearly\n100,000,000 people, would suffer something like a timber famine.\nWithout adopting the extreme view that in twenty years no timber\n'at all will be left in the United States, it is a fact that within the\npast few years saw-mills in the once well-wooded State of Minnesota have had to be shut down because the country tributary to\nthem had been absolutely denuded of timber. The plant of those\nmills represented an investment of millions of dollars. The forests\nof Michigan have all but disappeared. Within very few years the\nvaluable cedar limits of the southern belt of the United States will\nbe gone. The last great standing belt of timber left to the North\nAmerican continent is found in the Pacific Province of British\nColumbia, and I am glad to think that our reserves of this valuable\narticle will last us, with proper care in conservation, for generations yet.\n\"But while I thoroughly believe in this, our great asset, I\nshould be sorry'to think that people here were about to plunge\ninto timber speculation without taking the ordinary precautions\nwhich every man of business observes when he is investing his\nmoney. Standing timber in British Columbia today is undoubtedly\ncheap at the price\u2014cheap, that is, relatively to the market value of\ntimber, frequently of less valuable quality, in other parts of North\nAmerica. But whoever offers a timber limit, even in British\nColumbia, makes a business proposition which must be treated on\nstrict business lines. All our timber limits are not of the same\nvalue\u2014that stands to reason. The variety of the timber and, again,\nits situation from the lumberman's point of view are essential\nfactors in determining its value.\"\nBRITISH COLUMBIA FOR INVESTOR AND SETTLER\nBy the Hon.

Well, it is a\nIbject in which I am naturally very interested, and I am glad to\nI. so many British people anxious to get further knowledge of\nprovince. I was in England four years ago, and since then I\nId on my present visit interest has increased four-fold. This is\n\u25a0ry satisfactory indeed, as we in British Columbia want British\nltlers and British capital. A pleasing feature of my stay on\nIs occasion is the large number of letters of inquiry relative to\nliditions out there from responsible and important sources which\nleceive by almost every post. It is very gratifying. You of the\nInadian Gazette have been ever generous in your support of the\nIivince, and at the same time protective of the interests of British\nlestors and intending settlers, and it is little I can tell you that\nti do not already know. But if anything I can say personally\nll assist you in your good work, then I shall be pleased.\n\"It Has Everything Needed\"\nThe more I travel the more I am convinced that British\nlumbia is one of the most attractive countries in the world. It\neverything needed\u2014a charming and health-giving climate,\nIgnificent scenery, land for fruit growing and general farming,\nv materials for manufacturing, railways, inland waterways, an\ntensive seaboard, and a hearty welcome to British settlers and\nliness men. The development of the adjoining Prairie Provinces\nas fruit growers an ever-expanding market for their produce,\nhorticulture, already an important industry, is attracting many\ntiers from all parts, a large proportion of a fine type coming\nIn England. Mixed farming and grain growing offers a field for\n^agriculturist, and the opening up of new districts by the rail-\ncompanies will make large additional tracts of suitable land\nliable for settlement.\nOur mineral resources are of considerable value, and include\nentials for manufacturing\u2014iron and coal. As I told the\nladiari Manufacturers' Association, the greatest coalfield of\nlish Columbia, or of Canada, is the Rocky Mountain coalfield,\n|vhich 8o per cent, is in British Columbia and 20 per cent, in\nsrta. The present British Columbian gross output of coal for\n\u25a0[whole province is 2,400,600 tons, ancl at this rate of production\nIt Kootenay coalfields can keep up this supply for 15,000 years.\nI Henry S. Poole, in the employ of the Geological Survey, says\nlis report as to coal still remaining in the Vancouver Island\nIfields: \"Of the quantity of coal exceeding two feet in thick-\nwithin a vertical depth of 4,000 feet an estimate of 600,000,000\nwould seem conservative.\" This does not include other pro-\nIng fields in East Kootenay, Northern British Columbia, and\nle River. The estimated coal in the Rocky Mountains coalfields\n\\. less than 44,130,000,000 tons, of which some 36,000,000,000, oiler cent, of the whole, is in British Columbia, all of it available\nthe valley of the Elk River.\nIWith such an enormous extent of coal it is quite reasonable to\n|ume that the Eastern part of British Columbia, from its coal-\nIs alone, is destined to be the Pennsylvania of the Pacific Coast,\n\u25a0[timber and pulpwood resources are also of considerable extent,\nwell known. Then, again, the fisheries of the coast give\n|oyment to about twelve thousand men, and this is an industry\njle of considerable expansion.\nferitish Columbia has undoubtedly a great future before it.\nIn the country is fully developed it will be capable of sustaining\nnidation of many millions. The opening of the Panama Canal\nImean much to the progress of the province. British Columbia\n[gateway to the East, and has the mighty markets of China\n(japan on the other side of the ocean. With so many blessings\nNature, do you wonder at our optimism and our assurance\n|bright future?\nA Word of Warning\n|As a field for investment British Columbia offers many\nIntageous facilities, and, as I have already said, we welcome\nIsh capital, but some of the \"propositions\" that occasionally\nltheir way to the London market from British Columbia can\nIly be described as of the soundest. The Provincial Govern-\nis anxious to safeguard the interests of capital, but unfor-\nItely we cannot prevent irresponsible men from endeavouring\nlist equally irresponsible schemes upon the British public. It\n(r the British investors themselves to thoroughly investigate\nreliability of financial proposals and to secure independent\nIts where possible. The province offers many facilities for\nlsafe and remunerative employment of capital and all that is\nled on the part of investors is ordinary caution and\nrimination.\nHUDSON'S BAY COMPANY PURCHASE\nDOUGLAS STREET SITE\nThe Hudson's Bay company has purchased the St. John's\nIch site on Douglas street, and during the present year will\n|nence the construction of a thoroughly up-to-date departmental\nin Victoria, whicii will be one of the largest of its kind wesr\nBUSINESS PROPERTY\nGovernment Street\u2014Good corner, 90x120 $60,000\nYates Street\u201460x120, near Blanchard.

The property for its location in this city, was\nacquired by the company from Messrs. T. R. Cusack and R. L.\nDrury for a sum in the neighbourhood of $225,000. Mr. Andrew\nWright acted as the local agent for the Hudson's Bay company,\nand the deal was negotiated by Messrs. Grant & Lineham. The\nsite has a frontage of 240 feet on Douglas, 120 feet on Fisguard,\nand 120 feet on Herald streets. The entire site will be occupied\nby the structure which the Hudson's Bay company purposes erecting. The church's tenancy of the site will expire on September\n15th. By that date it is understood that the plans for the new\ndepartmental store will be ready, and that actual construction will\ncommence within a month, that is before October 15th.\nThe announcement is probably the most important ever made\nin the mercantile life of the city. The decision of a company, which\nenjoys the highest of business reputations, to enter into the retail\ntrade of the city on such an extensive scale, will have the effect of\ngiving an immense impetus to the upbuilding of Victoria. The site\nselected on the city's widest thoroughfare must necessarily, not\nonly enhance the values of property on Douglas street, but throughout the entire business area. In the announcement of its plans\nin Victoria, the company promises to build a departmental store\nwhich will be up-to-date in every particular, and which will rank\nbeside any similar institution which it has established in Canada.\nWhile the figure to be expended on the structure has not been\ndivulged, pending the drawing up of the plans and specifications,\nit is generally considered as probable that it will not fall far short\nof the million dollar mark.\nFIELD CROPS IN CANADA\nA bulletin of the Census and Statistics Office issued recently\nstates that the season this year has been favourable for field crops\nin all parts of Canada, and excellent reports have been received\nfrom all the provinces. The lowest percentage of condition is\nmade for fall wheat, which suffered from inadequate protection in\nthe winter months, and also to some extent from spring frosts\nThe areas of fall wheat are greater than last year by 4.50 per cent,\nand of spring wheat by 13.70 per cent. The total area in wheat is\n10,503,400 acres, as compared with 9,294,800 in 1910 and 7,750,400\niri 1909. The per cent, condition of fall wheat at the end ot May\nwas 80.63, and of spring wheat 96.69. The area in oats is\n10,279,800 acres and its condition 94.76, as compared with 9,864,100\nacres and 93.95 per cent, condition last year. Barley and rye each\nshow a small decrease in area, but the condition is higher than at\nthe same period last year. Slight decreases are also reported for\nareas of peas, mixed grains, and hay and clover, with per cent,\ncondition of over 90.

The back\nis corresppndingly narrow,\n:d at the top, and about half-\niwn is finished with a section of\nin ending in a train.

It is then spread \"out\nfan-wise with the centre edge drawn\nup with a tiny heading for a finish.\nAnother new sash has the ribbon\nplaited for a space of twelve or fourteen inches, and this part is stitched\ntlat to the skirt, taking in the girdle,\nand with the end fringed,\n* * *\nIt is interesting to note, as the season advances, how the position of\nthe waistlines is shifted.

But French knot work is\nahead of bead work, and even that\nis bound to become passe from overuse by the time the next season arrives. Heavy work on thin cottons\nwith big side frills tells much of the\nstory of smart waists at this hour.\nColoured embroideries, coloured\nstitchings, coloured collars and cuffs\nand other introductions of colour are\nprevalent among the handsomest\nwhite blouses. Smart models with\nkimono sleeves and Dutch neck finished more often than not with Irish\ncrochet have tucks stitched with a\ncolour, and the same tone appears\nagain in the hand edging the side\nplaiting and the turnback cuffs. Tailor waists of coquettish style have\nhandkerchief collars witli square\n; backs and knotted fronts which in-\n; troduce a pretty touch of colour and\ni the same shade is used on the plait\nwith a colour, and the same tone appears again in the band kerchief with\nj an edge of the same colour.

These, in\nturn, were followed by intimations\nthat the centre front would bc dropped an inch or two, retaining the\nbrightened sides, and now ag;ain has\nthe line been shifted, all within the\nspace of a few short weeks. As a\nmatter of fact, the waistline that is\nbeing adopted for the moment\u2014it\nmay have suffered another move by\nthe time this has been put into type-\nis not raised as much as it appears to\nbe\u2014an optical delusion, so to speak,\ncaused by the combination of the\nittle skirts oil the bodice with the\nong, scant, low-trimmed skirts,\nwhich has the effect of exaggerating\nwhite or the color of the tailormade.\nWith white serge suits nothing is\nsmarter than this white satin shirt.\n.Marquisette-and voile are leading\nlingerie materials for waists and for\ngowns, though batiste and linens are\nalways staple.
