ELL DONE\nThe Conservative smoker, held in the\n0. U. W. Hall on Tuesday night, to\nIrelcome Mr. G. H. Barnard, M.P., on his\n|eturn from Ottawa was a fitting tribute\na good and faithful servant. The hall\n^'as crowded, as was the platform, and the\nestimonies to Mr. Barnard's ability and\nlopularity were obviously sincere. He has\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0pent only two sessions in Parliament, but\n\e has already firmly established his repu-\nation as a painstaking, reliable, genuine\nfcan. Mr. Cowan described him as a\nllean-cut, conscientious representative, and\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Premier McBride endorsed the statement\nlat \"his popularity at Ottawa was by no\naeans confined to his own party.\" British\nColumbia has every reason to be proud of\nle Conservative Five who represent the\nprovince at Ottawa, but not one of the\nlonstituencies have more reason to congratulate itself on its Member than Vic-\naria. Mr. Barnard is growing in every\nlay, and is establishing such a record with\n111 classes that his continuance as the\njepresentative of Victoria for many years\ncome is assured. His exposition of the\nJava] policy of tlie Conservative Party\nthe most lucid, cogent, and convincing\n|hat has been placed before the public.\nPOBLESSE OBLIGE\nAt half-past four on Wednesday after-\nloon, the picturesque Irish jaunting car,\nVhich has been so much in evidence in\nV ictoria for the last month or so, was\nleing driven down Government street by\nbe owner at the rate of about eight miles\nIn hour\u00E2\u0080\u0094quite a high rate of speed foils crowded a street as Government is during the busiest portion of the afternoon.\nThere was one passenger, Mr. Justice\nMartin. As the car, travelling southwards, approached the corner of Fort and\nlovernment, Mr. Herbert Fullerton was\nioming up on his bicycle; an automobile\nlear the middle of the road crowded him\nIto the east side; the driver of the jaunting\ncar, probably thinking that Mr. Fullerton\ncould get clear\u00E2\u0080\u0094which he could have done\nonly by running onto the sidewalk\u00E2\u0080\u0094kept\nstraight on without abating his pace in the\n[least, with the consequence that, close by\npe red pillar-box, near the entrance of the\noyal Bank, Mr. Fullerton was literally\nf'ridden down.\" He and his machine were\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0sent sprawling, and it was only by the\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0sheerest good luck that he was not seriously\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0injured. Leaving the horse to struggle\nIwith the bicycle and extricate his feet as\nIbest he could, Mr. Fullerton naturally\nImade for the driver, and proceeded to\nlgive him a piece of his mind, for it was\nIn deliberate case of riding a man down.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 What the denouement might have been is\njmore or less uncertain. The probability\nlis that tlie driver would have received well-\nImerited eastigation, but at this juncture\nIMr. Justice Martin told him to \"drive\nIon,\u00E2\u0080\u0094drive on,\" and he drove on. Corn-\nIment is unnecessary.\nIMAYOR AND COUNTRY CLUB\nThe writer of this paragraph was in\nIcourt on Wednesday morning when Mr.\nJFred. Peters, K.C, acting on the instruc-\nItions of the Acting City Solicitoi\u00E2\u0080\u0094who\n{declared hc was acting' on the instructions\nlof the Mayor\u00E2\u0080\u0094applied to Mr. Justice\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Gregory for an injunction to restrain the\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Country Club from holding the advertised\nsix days' race-meeting on the Agricultural\ngrounds. The application will no doubt\n(be fully reported in the daily press. If\nko, the ratepayers will have an object les-\npon whicli they should lay to heart. Apart\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0altogether from the merits of the question,\nit must be admitted that the application\nrevealed an extraordinary state of things,\nancl one which can be regarded only as an\nindex of other happenings at the City Hall\nduring the present mayoral regime. Mr.\nPeters had been instructed by the Acting\nCity Solicitor, who in his turn had received the written authority of the Mayor;\nbut Mr. H. W. B. Moore, who appeared\nfor the Country Club and handled his case\nvery ably, produced a certified copy of the\nminutes of the last Council meeting, showing that the Council had, by resolution,\nvetoed the proposition to take further legal\nproceedings in this matter. The question\nthen arose whether the Mayor has authority to initiate litigation in the face of\na direct veto on the part of the Council.\nMr. Peters argued that he had, but the\nstrongest authority he was able to cite was\na elause in the Municipal Act which\nvested in the Mayor the power to employ\nand dismiss city servants, and to manage\nthe affairs of the city as the executive\nhead. Mr. Peters, to use an effective\nslang phrase, was badly ' up against it,\"\nfor his logical mind must have rebelled at\nsuch an interpretation of this clause as\nwould have regarded the retaining of a\ncounsel for a special purpose as covered\nby its provisions. But apart from the\nstraining \of the clause which this would\ninvolve, and which after all is only a side\nissue, the main proposition still has to be\ndealt with, viz., in case of difference, who\nis supreme\u00E2\u0080\u0094the Mayor or the Council It\nwould be an extraordinary thing, and in\nevery sense inimical to the public interest,\nif a Mayor, or any other Executive officer,\ncould, on his own volition, initiate litigation whieh the Council had expressly ordered should be left alone. It is not necessary to impute any improper motive to\nMayor Morley in order to show how such\na contention might be productive of the\nrankest evil, and how, in the case of an\nunscrupulous Mayor, he might subvert\nsuch an authority to his own purpose. Tho\ndecision of Mr. Justice Gregory was\nprompt and emphatic. He could accept\nonly the authority of the City Council as\nevidence that the City was prepared to\nlaunch an action; and he dismissed the\napplication until such authority was forthcoming. It is difficult to see how any\nother decision could have been expected;\nand that the attempt of the Mayor to get\na hearing for his application was one of\nhis usual \"bluffs\" was pretty well evidenced by the fact that before the application was refused he had already summoned a special meeting of the Council\nfor the purpose of reconsidering the\nmatter. The foregoing was written on\nWednesday afternoon. In the evening a\nspecial meeting of the Council was held,\nwhen the Mayor endeavoured to secure a\nreconsideration of the question but was\nvoted down by an increased majority, the\nvote standing ti to '.'>, as against 5 to 4\nmi Monday. During the evening there\nwere several interesting developments, of\nwhich the ratepayers will make a note for\nfuture reference. There was a deputation of some fifty members of the Voters'\nLeague, who, through their spokesman,\nurged the Council to veto a race meeting\nregardless of the consequences, and regardless of the lease held by tlie Country Club.\nThis gentleman concluded his appeal by\ndenominating the race meeting of 1909 as\na \"saturnalia of rascality and robbery.\"\nTt was pointed out that the meeting in\nquestion may have had objectionable\nfeatures, whicii were deplored quite as\nmuch by the advocates of racing as a\nsport as by the members of the Voters'\nLeague or any other organization, and\nthat respectable citizens who attended the\nmeeting with their wives and (laughters\nwould strongly resent the imputation that\nthev hail assisted in a saturnalia nf ras\ncality ancl robbery. It is singular how\nthese good people are unable to carry on\ntheir work of reform without denouncing\nas rascals and robbers those who differ\nfrom them with respect to a noble sport,\nwhich was good enough for their late beloved King, and good enough for them.\nIncidentally, an interesting glimpse was\nafforded of Mayor Morley's method of conducting business. It turned out during the\ndiscussion that he acted illegally on Monday evening last in submitting the report\nof the Legislative Committee recommending litigation to the consideration of the\nCouncil. The report had not received the\napproval of a majority of the members of\nthe Legislative Committee, and therefore\ncould not be considered. Aid. Bannerman\nput the case in a nutshell when he said that\nin the course of a long business career he\nhad made many bargains, some good and\nsome bad, but he had never yet repudiated\na bargain however bad it was. He took\nthe view that when the Agricultural Association had granted a lease to the Country\nClub, signed by Dr. Lewis Hall, who was\nthen Mayor, and as Mayor ex-officio president of the Agricultural Association, it\nwas not honest for the Council to repudiate that agreement. This was not a matter for litigation, but negotiation. The\nspokesman of the Voters' League urged\nthat the Council should authorize litigation or take any steps to stop the race\nmeeting on the ground that the morality\nof the young men of the city had to be\nprotected. It would be interesting to note\nhow many members of the deputation\nargue that a sound standard of morality\nwas being supported by an organization\nwhich aimed at promoting morality by\ncommitting an immoral and dishonest act\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094that of repudiation of an agreement. It\nseems to The AVeek that this is rather a\npoor sample of moral ethics.\nPRINCE RUPERT AND THE SCOTT ACT\nFrom the latest edition of the Prince\nRupert Empire, it may be gleaned that the\nnew Northern Capital is likely to cooperate with Dr. Spencer in making a test\nof the Scott Act in British Columbia.\nThe secretary of the Local Option League\nrecently paid a visit to that city, and at a\nmeeting held in the Presbyterian church\nit was unanimously resolved to take the\nnecessary steps to bring the Act into operation, and a large committee of citizens\nwas appointed to carry out the preliminaries. The position of The Week on\nthis matter is so well known that it is\nnot necessary to repeat what it has recently\nsaid. It would, however, point on that in\nspite of every effort to the contrary, there\nis just as much liquor consumed in Prince\nRupert as in nny other city of its size,\nand the experience of those who know best\nis to the effect that the Scott Act will not\nimprove the conditions, but render them\nworse. One thing will lie gained by the\ndecision nf the League, whicli is. that the\nLower Mainland will have a little rest\nfrom the disturbing activity of Dr.\nSpencer, who has kindly consented to reside in Prince Rupert during the progress of the campaign. Tt is to be hoped\nthat he will not run away in case the Act\nshould be applied, because it is in its enforcement, or rather lack of enforcement,\nthat the mischief lies; and those who are\nso energetic in invoking it should remain\nto assist in carrying out its provisions.\nThe Week has always regarded Prince\nRupert as one of the most enlightened and\nprogressive of AVestern cities. Tt declines\nto believe that the citizens will take such\na retrograde step as to invoke the aid of a\nmeasure which has been discarded by the\nEastern provinces as unworkable and un-\nBritish.\nAN INFLUENTIAL LEAGUE\nThere are Leagues and Leagues, and\nin the multiplication of such organizations\nit is the most aggressive which natural\ngain the greatest publicity. For this reason, the Navy League, of which our esteemed fellow citizen, Clive Phillips\nAA'olley, is the energetic president, is frequently heard of ancl is recognized as doing\ngood work for the Empire. But there is\nanother League, of which little is heard,\nbecause hitherto its work has been practically confined to the Old Country. It\nis entitled the \"Naval and Military Emigration League.\" The President is Field\nMarshal Earl Roberts, and among the\nATice-Presidents are the Duke of Bedford\nancl the Earl of Denbigh. The Patrons\nancl Council include such well-known\nnames as thc Earl of Clanwilliam, Lord\nAlwyne Compton, Hon. Arthur Brodrick,\nand Admiral Fitzgerald. Until a few\nweeks ago there was no Canadian representative on the Council of the League,\nbut at the last meeting Arthur E. Hepburn, Esq., of Vancouver, was elected as\nthe first Canadian representative. Mr.\nHepburn is a large investor in Canadian\nenterprises, ancl has been the means of\nintroducing considerable English capital\ninto British Columbia. He is intensely\ninterested in the subject of emigration, and\nis most desirous of increasing thc influx\nof British-born people into the Dominion.\nIt may bo interesting to note that the\nNaval ancl Military Emigration League is\nthe organization which has lodged a protest with the Dominion Government\nagainst thc unfair restrictions recently\nimposed on British immigrants.\nBRITISH COLUMBIA INVESTMENTS\nThis is our growing time. It is generally conceded that the eyes of the world\nare turned towards Canada, ancl more\nparticularly towards British Columbia.\nIt is recognized in financial circles that the\nProvince is just recovering from the wild-\ncatting of the late '90's, ancl that once\nmore B. C. investments are meeting with\nfavour in Lombard street. Many millions\nhavc, within the last few months, been secured for local enterprises, and although\nthe list is capped by the magnificent scoop\nof Mr. AA'illiam Mackenzie with his forty\nmillions, the possibilities are by no means\nexhausted. The AVeek knows of three distinct enterprises, each requiring about\nfive million dollars, negotiations for whicli\nare well under way with the practical certainty of a successful result. All this is\nas it should be, because the natural resources of the Province are such as to\njustify almost unlimited expenditure if it\nis wisely directed; but, for this very reason, every well-wisher of the Provinee will\nhope that it may be wisely directed. Tf\nthere should be any repetition of the\nfiascos of a decade ago, there will be a\ncorresponding slump; the fountain of supplies will be dried up, and a period of\nsemi-stagnation will follow. The Week,\nhowever, does uot anticipate anything of\nlhe kind. Mistakes will be made, wildcats will get onto the market, concerns\nwill be over-capitalized; but the percentage of such will be less than before, and\nthe proportion of successful and profitable\nventures will undoubtedly sustain the reputation of the Province. All the same,\nit is the duty of the Press, and it should\nbe a unit in the work, to put its foot on\nevery wild-eat the moment it is discovered.\nThere have been a number of oil propositions placed on the London market recently, some of which are entirely without\n( C(i\\"i'iMi*:ii on P.m.k 2) THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1910\n(CONTINUED FROM P.VGE 1)\nmerit, and many of which were\nover-capitalized; but the worst instance of a gold-brick proposition\nof which The Week has any\nknowledge is the American and B.\nC. Hydraulic Placer Company,\nLimited, which was widely advertised in the London papers. The\nlist opened on Monday, 30th May,\nand closed on Wednesday, lst\nJune. The company offered for\nsubscription 800,000 non-assessable shares of half a dollar each.\nThe total capital of the company\nis $750,000. It claims to have\ntwenty-one leases of placer property ten miles south of Nelson\non the line of the Spokane Falls\nand Northern Rnilwny, the property being intersected by Hall\nCreek. The prospectus claims\nthat a large number of tests\nyielded 25 cents in gold to the\ncubic yard. It estimates the cost\nof treatment at 4 to 6 cents per\ncubic yard. The report of an engineer is quoted, a Mr. Ii. I. Key-\nnolds. Superintendent of the Lincoln Gold Mining Company, Troy,\nMontana. This expert says that\nthe gold is mostly about the size\nof wheat grains, and he found a\ncubic yard of gravel to yield 75\ncents, but thinks the average would\nbe 30. lie pronounces it a good\nand safe proposition. Just how\nhe arrives at this conclusion is not\nquite obvious, because while the\nengineer gives an average value of\n30 cents per yard and says that\nthe average cost should not exceed\n4 to (! cents, he places the profit\nat 8 cents. However, the company\nfigures it out more correctly upon\nthe basis stated, and the prospectus\nclaims 20 cents profit, after deducting the mining costs. It estimates a daily output of 5,000\ncubic yards, yielding an annual\nprofit of $300,000. the Canadian\nDirectors are Mr. Albert W.\nHings. Merchant, Lethbridge; Mr.\nS. II. Seaney, Merchant, Nelson;\nMr. .1. AV. Falls, Mining Engineer,\nNelson; Mr. -Tno. G. Dewar, Mining Engineer, Nelson, and Mr.\nPercy G. Gleazer, who is described\nas \"Assessor to the British Columbia Government,\" whatever that\nmay mean. Now, all thr.t The\nWeek has to say about this proposition is tbat since seeing this\nprecious prospectus it has consulted several mining men well acquainted with the Nelson District, and having personal knowledge of Hall Creek, and they are\na unit in declaring that any such\nestimates as are contained in this\nprospectus are as far from the\ntruth as the North Pole is from\nthe South; and that if any mining proposition which has been\nput before the British investor is\nrightly entitled a wild-cat, this one\nhas a \"patent cinch\" on the designation. It will be interesting to\nnote how many of the 800,000\nshares were subscribed for between\nMonday, May 30th, and AVednes-\nday, .Tune 1. It would also be interesting to have heard thc verdict\nof the veteran Captain Duncan on\nthe whole proposition.\nMay Roberts Opening at the Victoria\nfor One Week\nOn Monday evening, thc curtain\nwill ring up on one of our cleverest\nactresses and an excellent company\nin support, for Miss Roberts is in\nevery respect an actress if no ordinary merit, for during this engagement she will portray thc fact that\nboth the emotional and thc comedy\nare entirely in her grasp.

The\ncomet that you saw, or say you saw,\nwas fifteen million miles away when\nit was nearest this old earth. It was\nseen in 1835. It has been swinging\nthrough space all those years at a\nrate of one hundred and fifty thousand miles an hour or thereabouts. A\nfew odd thousand miles don't count\nfor much in this calculation. It will\ngo on kiting through space for another seventy-five years before it will\nbc seen again from this earth. Other\nworlds will scc it, of course. How\nmany, I don't know. They will take\nas much interest in this \"wild colt\nof a comet\" as you do. They'll stay\nup nights and burnish their telescopes\nto get a blink at it. It may be as\nfar away from them as it is from us,\nbut the alarmists will scare them just\nthe same. What a universe is this,\nmy boy! Innumerable worlds rolling\naround in illimitable space, each one\nhaving its own particular place and\nuse and orbit. Think of this, my boy,\nfor one minute, and if you can say\nin your heart there is no God you're\na fool. You may read this in the\nBible, and, if you doubt, we can let\nyou down easy by saying you are a\nskeptic, but contemplate the universe,\nmy boy, and, if you still doubt, you're\na fool, and a hopeless fool at that.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nObserver, in Toronto Weekly Star.\nOPERA CLOAKS\nSHAWLS AND EVENING ROBES\nIn Opera Cloaks, Shawls and Evening Robes, a\nmore glorious display cannot be imagined.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1910\nThe Song and the Man\n(By Johnston McGulley)\nI\nTis da song of dees country,\" said\nucia. \"We mus' learn-a to sing.\"\nHe stood in the aisle of a colon-\n-car. About him were half a hun-\ned of his countrymen. Most of\nem still wore their bright-colored\nrchiefs, and had rings in their ears.\nthe end of the vestibule stood Co-\ntti, a sneer upon his lips. But Mu-\n1 did not see.\n''Tis da song of dees country,\" he\nseated. \"I had-a it from a coun-\n,-man before we left da New York.\"\n'Give-a us da song!\" they cried,\nrive-a us da song!\"\nMucia glanced through the car win-\nw at the miles of Montana slip-\nlg by. It had been a long journey,\nt every hour had been filled with\ninder. An agent had met them at\ndock with promises of a season's\nirk at good wages and at small ex-\nnse. He had given them food and\nd furnished them transportation to\n: place where they were to labour,\ne agent was Cosctti. Now he stood\nthe door of the car like a soldier\nguard, refusing to let any off at a\ntion. It was dangerous, he said;\n;y might be left behind. And in\n.-ir happiness at work so easily ob-\nned and in a free journey of sighting the men had failed to decipher\nsetti's sneer. They saw none but\nicia, who had been their leader and\n.kesman on sea and land, as he\nod before them, glancing from the\nidow.\n'Da song!\" they cried again. \"Give-\nis da song!\"\n\.nd Mucia, turning from the win-\ngave it in his own way, with\nny faults of music and words, but\n:h deep feeling. He struggled\nough a verse, and at the end they\niwded around him, begging him to\ng again.\n'It es da song uf dees country,\"\nicia said again, when hc had done,\nes our song. Wc mus' learn to\nig-a it well.\"\nThe next morning they were at the\nmp, a jumble of huts beside a rocky\ntte, where steam-shovels were\nrowing aside the dirt, and where\nen worked at the gra,de like so\nany ants about a hill. Thc new-\nmers were quartered together and\n>art from the others, in a series of\nacks near the track. Under the diction of overseers who spoke their\nngue they began to labour, toiling\nird in the hot sun, yet with happy\n:arts.\nAnd in the evenings, after they had\nten their portion of food, they sat\n)out the fires made from piles of\nd ties, and talked of many things\nthe old country and the new, but\nincipally in the new, At such times\nucia, thc leader of the group, taught\n1 em the song. Cosctti, sitting at his\n:sk in the office-car, heard them, and\nnilcd like the demon that he was.\n\"They are brainless cattle,\" hc told\nacGuire, the foreman.\n\"They're of your race,\" MacGuirc\niplied. He had never liked Cosctti.\nI have brains,\" said Cosctti.\nlumping the table with his first.\nThat's why 1 am here. I get two\nollars for every man I bring to the\nimp. That's thc premium, Mac-\nuire, because men are scarce. No\nne can go to New York and get\nlese green Italians when they land\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nd one except myself. And after I\n.-t them here \"\n\"After you get them here \" be-\n,m MacGuirc. Then he thought bet-\nof it. got upon his feet, and left\nlie car, to walk clown the track to-\nard the distant bunk-houses. Co*\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2tti remained behind: hc was busy\nith his reports.\nMacGuire turned the curve in thc\niad that led to the first cut. Be-\nire the bunk-houses the camp-fires\ntrued brightly, and around them\n(ere clustered the laborers. Maclure could see Mucia towering above\nithers, waving his arms to beat\nine, and through the gloom came\nthe song, broken, straggling, discordant, but still the song,\nMy country, 'tis of thee,\nSweet land of liberty\u00E2\u0080\u0094\n\"They sing it well,\" muttered MacGuire, as he stopped to listen. \"They\nsing it very well for the time they\nhave been here.\"\nHe glanced back toward Cosetti's\noffice car, and then walked on. At\nthe nearest fire men were still eating\ntheir poor meal. Shovels and picks\nwere scattered about. Broken scrapers were piled high in a scrap-heap.\nTo one side of the track the horses\nand mules were picketed, eating their\nfill of clean hay. The horses, MacGuire reflected, were better cared for\nthan the men. It was profitable and\neasy for Cosetti to get more men; it\nwas not so profitable nor so easy to\nfurnish horses.\nMacGuire noticed, as he walked\nalong, that some of the men saluted\nhim humbly. He smiled kindly, and\nwaved his hand now and then, but\ncontinued down the track. He could\nspeak but little Italian; they could\nspeak no English. They realized,\ndumbly, that he was a superior officer, a bigger link than they in the\nchain woven, by a corporation's gold.\nAs he approached the fire where\nMucia stood before the crowd singing, hc .walked more slowly. There\nwas something wonderful in the sight,\nsomething almost uncanny. It was\nlike a war-song of barbarians. He\nwatched the eager faces as the men\nbent forward to catch the words from\nMucia's lips. In the reflection from\nthe fire they glowed with intense interest, an interest that approached\nfanaticism. It was as though emotions were depicted: MacGuire believed he could actually see these\nmen learning to love their new country.\nHe stood for some time unobserved.\nThen Mucia, at the end of a verse,\nlooked up and saw him, and stepped\nthrough the crowd to greet him with\noutstretched hands.\n\"Dey sing,\" he said happily. \"I\nmysel' have taught-a dem. Have a\nlittle patience, my foreman, an' dey\nwill sing-a better. 'Tis da song of\ndees country.\"\n\"They sing it well,\" remarked MacGuire.\n\"If you will-a stop an' listen \"\nbegan Mucia. He rushed back through\nthe crowd and mounted a scraper.\nThen he turned tp the men, his face\nglowing.\n\"Sing-a it again! Sing-a it well!\"\nhe cried. \"Da Mr. Foreman MacGuire es to a-listen, Sing-a it like-a\nyou love dees gran' country. Sing-a\nit like-a you feel like-a free men.\nSing-a it.\"\nHis arms waved through the air,\nand he started the song. The men\ntook it up, their faces turned away\nfrom MacGuire and toward Mucia.\nThe foreman stood on the track, his\narms folded, watching, listening.\nWhen it was done Mucia ran through\nthe crowd once more.\n\"You like-a it?\" he asked MacGuirc.\n\"They sing it well,\" replied the\nforeman. Then he walked back along\nthe track toward Cosetti's office-car.\nTo his ears came the echo of thc song,\nSweet land of liberty\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nII\n\"To-morrow,\" said Cosetti to Mucia. \"the pay-car comes.\"\nThey were standing on thc grade.\nBelow them the scrapers worked their\nway back and forth. Behind them\ngangs of men were laying ties and\nspiking down the rails. The superintendent desired to take a work-train\nto the front as far as possible.\n\"Da pay-car,\" repeated Mucia.\nglancing at Cosetti. \"Ah, yes! 'Tis\nour first pay of da American money.\nWe will-a be rich\u00E2\u0080\u0094rich!\"\n\"What arc you going to do with it\nwhen you have it?\" Cosetti asked.\nMucia looked up again quickly.\n\"You think-a we lose it?\" he laughed.\n-'Ah, no!

BLAKEMORE, Editor\nThose who feel the fascination of the\nlife of the Great Dominion will find\nanecdotes of all sorts and conditions\nof men, from Bishop Bompas downwards, in this interesting record of a\nsummer excursion.\u00E2\u0080\u0094(Reprinted from\n\"The Spectator,\" London, April 30th,\n1910).\nBooks to Read\nAt the Victoria Book and Stationery Co. readers of The Week can obtain three books which are well worth\nreading\u00E2\u0080\u0094indeed, better worth reading\nthan any three that havc recently\ncome under our notice. The first is\nMiss Agnes Deans Cameron's work\non the Northland, which has attracted wide attention and has been most\nfavourably reviewed by the English\npress. Thc Spectator, which is not\nthe easiest journal in the world to\nplease, has nothing but praise for\nMiss Cameron's work, and a copy of\nits review is reproduced in our current issue.\nIn the realm of fiction, one of thc\nmost brilliant and entertaining books\nthat has appeared for several years\nis by a new author\u00E2\u0080\u0094Phillip Gibbs.\nIts title is \"The Street of Adventure.\"\nThe book deals with life in Fleet\nStreet, takes the reader behind the\nscenes of one of the leading London\ndailies, and interweaves a romance\nof thc finest possible texture with\nthe deftest of fingers. There is more\nthan a suspicion in the mind of the\nreader that \"Phillip Gibbs\" is a nom\nde plume, and that the author is a\nwoman. Be that as it may, the story\nis charming, the portraiture true > to\nlife, and the strenuous conditions under which newspapermen work have\nnever been more graphically depicted.\nThe third book has been before thc\npublic for some months, and has sold\nwell. It is Winston Churchill's\nlatest, which is by common consent\nhis best, even surpassing the interest\nof his first notable book, \"Richard\nCarvel.\" lt is not necessary to at\ntempt any review, because the main\nfeatures of the book are well known,\nbut it is permissible, even at this\nlate hour, to recommend it to anyone\nwho is looking for a thrilling romance.\nNew Grand Theatre\nThe big feature of next week's show\nat the Grand will be a feature especially for children, Cabaret's dog circus having been billed with its highly trained canine wonders. They originally enter the stage in an automobile which becomes busted to\npieces and scatters the puppies all\nover the stage. The dogs will work\nthe Ferris wheel and do most of their\nact alone. It will be a children's feature.\nBilly K. Wells is a Hebrew orator,\nwho will have reference to many nationalities and generally entertain in\nfirst floor style, with his story anecdote and song.\nThe Lilian Russell of vaudeville,\nMildred Stoller is billed here next\nweek, and as this impersonator and\nimitator has caused a furore on the\ncircuit with her clever imitations of\nthe most notable actresses and actors\nin the land, she should prove one of\nthe very big drawing cards for next\nweek, doing thc kind of act that is\nalways popular.\nHarry Spingold and Marie Girard\nwill present the military sketch, \"The\nReveille,\" based on the Civil war. It\nhas for a plot a love story showing\nhow love laughs at war and locksmiths, as well as at other things.\nThc drama is stirring and intense in\nits telling, and both Mr. Spingold and\nMiss Girard make the best of the\nmany opportunities offered for dramatic presentation.\nWard and Webber will have a dance\nturn, of the college boy kind. They\narc billed .as representative dancers,\nbut they introduce novelties that relieve the act from the regular clog\nand buck and wing business.\nThomas J. Price, the illustrated\nsong singer, and the moving pictures\nwill be billed as usual.\nThe New North\nThc New North. By Agnes Deans\nCameron. (D. Appleton and Co. 10s\n6d net.)\u00E2\u0080\u0094Miss, Cameron made the\njourney from Edmonton to the mouth\nof the ackenzie, and enjoyed herself so thoroughly, and kept her eyes\nand ears open to such gcod purpose,\nthat if any energetic lady wants to\nhave a good time she cannot do better than read Thc New North, even\nif she does not stir out of the house.\nCheery, humorous, observant, nothing escapes Miss Cameron's notice or\n\"upsets her equanimity. She is\ndoubtless one of those fortunate individuals who know how to travel, to\nwhom travel is a joy, and who have\nthe secret of getting on with people,\nthe true traveller's tact. Her style,\ncommonly restrained, sometimes almost sensational, reflects all these\ncharacteristics and also the dialect\nand the phrases of the many races\nand individuals she met on her descent of the Mackenzie to the Arctic\nOcean. Occasionally there arc pages\nwith distinct literary charm, and wc\nfind these as we approach the land of\nthe Eskimo. The spirit and vigour\nof her portraits are undeniable, and\nshe has the knack of seizing on certain traits of habits and speech which\nbring the Indians, the Hudson Bay\nmen and the Eskimo vividly before\nus. There arc a host of entertaining\nfacts, stories, little touches of character and scenery, which appear on\nevery page, and make the book most\nentertaining. 11 is an astonishing\ncountry this New Northland, and we\ndo not suppose any one quite understands how vegetables and grain can\nbe grown up to the Arctic Circle;\nbut the facts remain that its agricultural capacity is, latitude for latitude,\nquite unique as well as something of\na puzzle. Miss Cameron fell in love\nwith the Eskimo, who seems to have\ndiscovered the art of being cheerful.\nThe One and Only\nW. T. Stead, in a cablegram to\nthe New York American, says \"it is\nabout time truth was spoken with\nemphasis in order that the mass of\nlying, calumnious statements\" about\nKing George \"should be dispelled\nonce for all.\" And Stead is just the\nman to speak it, for, says he, \"I am\nnot a courtier, and am so far from\nbeing persona grata with the new\nKing that the last time that he expressed his opinion about me and my\nactivities, it was with the bluntness\nof a sailor man, and with the expletives which arc more familiar on\nquarter-deck than in the palaces of\nKings.\" Mr. Stead thereupon denies\nthe \"abominable libel\" that King\nGeorge is a hard drinker.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Isn't it\nhandsome that a great man should\ncome forward at this time and, forgetting his own personal injuries, do\njustice to another great man? ll,\nmakes me feel kindly toward Mr.\nStead himself, and, although he has\nno use for me (for only a few weeks\nago he used very offensive language\nin speaking of me to thc Kaiser), yet\nin the interests of truth and justice,\nI think it necessary to characterize as\nit deserves the abominable libel that\nhas frequently been repeated from\nmouth to mouth, that Mr. Stead is the\nman who committed the Jack thc Ripper crimes.\nHis Revenge\n\"How do you feel,\" I asked the\nsteeplejack, \"when you are working\non top of a high steeple?\"\n\"How do I feel?\" he repeated, a\nmurderous gleam shooting from his\nsteady eyes. \"I feel that I should\nlike to look down and see the man\nwho said 'There is always room on\ntop' climbing up to prove his statement.\"\nPRESENTS\nFor the June Bride\nAt this season of the year, a\nseason of weddings, the question of gift-giving is uppermost,\nand we take pleasure in asking\nyou to inspect our exclusive\nstock of appropriate articles\nsuitable for wedding presentations.\nRedfern & Sons\n1009 Government Street\nVICTORIA, B.C.\nBaxter & Johnson Co, Ltd.\nTRANSFER\nCASES\nTowards the end of the\nmonth you're thinking of transferring your full files.

No discount is\nallowed on arrears.\nE. E. LEASON,\nAssessor and Collector,\nVictoria Assessment District\nVictoria, lst June, 1910.\nje4\nDr. Spencer Again\n(Reprinted from the Merritt Herald)\nAt a recent mass meeting held by\nDr. Spencer, the \"grand-master of\nlocal option,\" is credited with having made the statement that the people of this province could have local\noption whether or no and states in\neffect that in spite of many political\nartifices there was a plurality of 3,600\nvotes in favour of the local option\nlaw. Dr. Spencer says that, having\ngathered up all facts and figures, he\nat once invoked the Canada Temperance Act,\u00E2\u0080\u0094which is a Dominion\nmeasure\u00E2\u0080\u0094and had his solicitor draw\nup an amendment to meet the needs\nof this province. The old Act, which\napplies only to counties, would be\nabout as much in place in British\nColumbia as a yearling heifer at a\nSunday evening church service\u00E2\u0080\u0094as\nhere each county is greater than some\nof the provinces. Therefore, he maintains, he has been instrumental in\nhaving the Act so amended as to\nmake it applicable to municipalities\nand small districts.\nWhether local option in British Columbia would be a success or not,\nwe cannot, of course, say. The Scott\nAct and the Duncan Act in the East\nwere both fizzles and from what we\ncan gather did much more harm than\ngood. We trust this would not be\nthe case in the \"last province,\" but\nwe are not so sure of this. There is\none thing about it, however: For instance, were Vancouver \"dry\" and\nNorth Vancouver \"wet,\" it would be\nno time before the second narrows\nbridge would be built, several ferry\nlines in operation, big, sky-scraping\nbooze joints going up across the inlet\u00E2\u0080\u0094to say nothing of the slump in\nVancouver real estate to the enhancement of property values at the sister\ncity. We wonder what effect local\noption would have upon the excellent\nhotel accommodation for guests prevailing generally throughout the province today. Of course, there are\nmany arguments to present upon both\nsides, but we opine there is only one\nYALE LAND DISTRICT\nDistrict of Yale\nNOTICE is hereby given that Lewis\nHind, of Victoria, B.C. intends to apply\nto the Chief Commissioner of Lands\nfor a license to prospect for coal and\npetroleum on the following described\nlands, situate on the South Fork of the\nTulameen River:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Commencing at a\npost planted about two mlles from and\nsouth of the junction of the South Fork\nand the Tulameen Rivers, and marked\n\"Lewis Hind, S.W.

The\nold fashioned green-goods game has\nbeen exposed until one would suppose that every man, woman, and\nchild in the country understood it,\nbut the harvest is rich each year.

The latest game seems to be\nthe foreign heir to vast property in\ntllis country left by \"a friend of your\nfather.\"\nThere is a psychological basis to\nall these swindles. At bottom everyone would like to get something for\nnothing, if it is possible. The\nchances of doing so are about one\nin a million, but the gambling spirit\nis rampant. Thc games where the\nchances against thc player are greatest are those which are the most\npopular. There is a large collection\nof swindlers in this country who manage to thrive for a lime on the credulity of human nature. Plausibility\nis their chief asset.

I think\npreviously to my visit I had\ntared the common belief that you\nd a cable by trailing a wire along\nthe end of a boat. I am wiser\nw. 1 find that a cable steamer lays\ncable at the approximate rate of\ne miles an hour; that in shallow\niter it pays out thc cable over the\nthat it loads its cable at about\nIro and a half miles an hour. Thc\n.tail on one of these boats passes\nImprehension, and it is an experi-\nicc which no one should miss.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2i* *\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 *\nAnother boat T lately visited was\n.he Prince Rupert.\" She was\nvn open to the public on Satur-\niy last, and the public certainly took\n(vantage of thc fact. Of the boat\nhave nothing but thc highest praise,\nbut the public. Oh, certainly thc\ncragc public when it takes its girl\nt for a Saturday afternoon \"treat\"\na veritable picnic. It always in-\nits on explaining things of which it\nows nothing. For example, I over-\nard a man explaining the reason for\nc existence of two ship's telegraphs\nthe bridge. \"You sec, the captain\nImds here,\" hc said, pointing to the\nice!, \"and the first mate stands at\ne telegraph on his right, and the\n:ond mate stands on his left.\" Now\nit sort of thing is very ridiculous,\nt, unfortunately, it is very common,\nrhaps such an absurdity does not\n:ur once in a lifetime, but the prin-\nile is the same. Incorrect infor\nmation is bartered about all the time,\nand those who know least talk most.\n* * *\nAnother thing which worries me is\nthe noise which domestic animals\nmake. I have written about poultry\ntill I am tired of it; I want to write\nabout dogs now. There is a dog\nnear my rooms; he barks all the\ntime. I don't know to whom it is\nthat' he belongs, but I consider him\na perfect nuisance. There is a jackass also; he makes a noise like a\ncow; he starts singing about five\no'clock in the morning. Why should\nhe be allowed to disturb honest people in their beds? There is too much\nsoft talk put up by kindly folk on the\nsubject of dumb animals. I am a\ngreat supporter of the S. P. C. A.,\nbut at the same time I do think that\ndumb creation get the better of the\ntalkers in many ways. I have never\nannoyed poultry by crowing in the\nmorning; I have never barked like a\ndog; I don't think that I have ever\nbrayed like a jackass. These animals,\nhowever, all worry me. But, of\ncourse I am a person of extraordinary\nnerves, ancl I- ought to like these\nnoises, but I don't.\n* * *\nHow slack Victoria business men\nare in the mornings. It is not often\nthat I get up early, but the o,ther day\nI was down town about half past\nlive. Not a soul was about, not a\nfuneral note. The only people I saw\nwere a few city employees going to\nwork. No stores were even thinking\nof getting open; it is true that there\nwas practically nobody in town to\njustify their so doing. It is just\nthc tendency of the place. We don't\nwant to get up early and we don't\ndo it. And who is to blame us?\n* * *\n1 insert below a couple of clippings\nfrom thc London \"Over Seas Daily\nMail.\" They may be of interest to\nmany Old Countrymen in the Province:\nofa\n0~lt*\u00C2\u00A3l*',\nHARROW HEADMASTERSHIP\nRev.

His academis career was\nmost distinguished, as he gained a\nfirst class in Classical Tripos and the\nChancellor's Medal.\nHe played for his university eleven\nat cricket for the four years from\n1887 to 1890. He was a clever bowler\nand a mighty bat. Indeed, in 1890\nhe headed the Cambridge batting average and made the best score of any\nbatsman on either side in the match\nwith Oxford. On leaving Cambridge\nhe played for Middlesex from time to\ntime.\nIn 1888 he was appointed an assistant master at Eton, but left Eton in\n1901, when he was offered the head-\nmastership of Repton, for which he\nhad not even applied.

He believes in the primal\nnecessity for the \"pastoral side\" of\na headmaster's work\u00E2\u0080\u0094in the building\nup of character, the deepening of the\nmoral and religious life of a school.\nHe believes that a headmaster should\nhave an intimate personal knowledge\nof his boys, and that the two great\nlevers of public school work are a\nstrong prefect system (the guidance\nby good leading boys) and the influence of the school chapel.\nIn the much-discussed -question of\nthe wisdom of a classical education\nhis views are pronounced. While\nalive to the modern side of education\nhe holds by Latin and Greek.\nMr. Ford is the embodiment of thc\ncricket reputation of Repton. Repton\nproduced the Palairets, C. B. Fry,\nand the headmaster's brothers, F. G.\nJ. Ford, A. F. J. Ford, and W. J.\nFord; in R. A. Young and J. N.\nCrawford she furnished the two\nyoungest men who ever went with an\nEnglish eleven to Australia; and last\nsummer but one five members of her\nschool eleven were invited to play\nfor first-class counties during the\nholidays.
