C, SATURDAY, DECEMBhR 30, 1905.\nOne Dollar Per Annum.\nTHE PASSING SHOW.\nA .'m view of Local and Foreign\nEvents and Topics\nof the Week.\n^ British Columbians have no reason\nto complain of the prospects for the\nnew year. As 1905 has been marked\nby the steady improvement in the financial condition of the province, so 1906\nis sure to witness development of the\n[/' province's resources and increase in\nthe general prosperity of the people.\nThe railways now under construction\nin the Similkameen and Boundary districts will play an important part in\nthe developments of the immediate future, and there is promise that other\nenterprises of the same sort are about\nto be inaugurated, so that the onlooker\nis justified in the faith that the province has ceased to merely mark time\nand has commenced to move along the\nroad of progress. On the nth of\nJanuary the local legislature will convene and we have reason to believe\nthat the Minister of Finance will be\nable to present a statement of receipts\nand expenditure that will meet with\nthe approval of the House and the people. It is not probable that the government will be in a position to announce any vast scheme for the more\nrapid development of the country by\nmeans of subsidies, but, as in 'fhe past,\nall legitimate proposals for actual rail-\nf- road construction will receive careful\nconsideration, and if the price asked is\nreasonable and not beyond the resources of the treasury such proposals\nmay be submitted for the approval of\nthe legislature.\nBut British Columbia has ceased to\nbe a country entirely dependent for its\ndevelopment upon government-assisted\n\, enterprises. Its mining Industry is now\non a solid basis and the output of mineral is rapidly increasing, its lumbering\nand fishing industries are prosperous,\nwhile the success attending those occupied in fruit growing and farming\nis attracting many desirable settlers to\nthe country. With these facts in their\nminds British Columbians are amply\njustified in looking forward to a prosperous new year.\nI Mr. Lemieux, the solicitor-general,\nMr. Prefontaine had been to London to\ntransact some government business and\non the conclusion of this had gone to\nj Paris for a brief holiday prior to re-\n\ turning to Canada. The deceased was\n: born at Longneuil, Quebec, in 1850.\nGraduating from McGill University he\nwas called to the bar in 1873. He entered public life as a member of the\nQuebec legislature in 1875. Afterwards\nhe entered Montreal city politics, becoming mayor of Montreal in 1898. He\nwas elected to the House of Commons\nfor Chambly in 1886 and has been in\nthe House ever since, representing the\nnew constituency of Maisonneuve since\n1896. Mr. Prefontaine earned the\nreputation of being an astute and able\npolitician, but he had no claim to be\nregarded as a statesman. Some interest\nis being taken in the appointment of\nhis successor in Sir Wilfrid Laurier's\ncabinet, the claims of the West to more\nadequate representation in the administration again being pressed. Senator\nTempleman is considered to be hopeful\nof promotion, at last, to a salaried position in the cabinet, and even Liberal\npapers\u00E2\u0080\u0094including the Victoria Times-\nare calling attention to the big proportion of the portfolios held by Quebec\nrepresentatives.\nVICTORIA'S MAYORALTY.\nMr. A. J. Morley Announces His Can-\n! didature and an Up-to-Date\nPolicy of Municipal\nRetorm.\nChristmastide.\nChristmas Day was observed\nthroughout the province in the usual\nmanner. In Victoria and Vancouver\nthe weather was particularly unpleasant\u00E2\u0080\u0094stormy and wet. But the festivities attendant upon the celebration of\nChristmas day are almost completely\nconfined to the home, and so just what\ntthe clerk of the weather provides outside is not of very great importance.\nAs usual in the coast cities the residents did much entertaining, inviting\nto their hospitable boards the army of\nthose whose own homes are far away.\nThe Jackson Poison Case.\nVancouverites in general are taking\na 'great interest in the developments of\nthe Jackson poisoning case. At the\npresent time Mrs. Jackson, widow of\nthe deceased, and her mother, Mrs.\nJones, are in the .city jail charged with\nperjury, and Harry Fisher, the son or\nnephew, as it may prove, is in jail at\n1 Bellingham raising every legal ground\nagainst extradition on the same charge.\nHe has engaged good lawyers and it\nlooks like another Collins case. The\nVancouver World has been largely responsible for the latest developments\nand the perjury charge is based on\naffidavits sworn out in the interests\nof the World. Fisher was supposed\nto be under the eye of the police in\nthis city, but managed to slip away and\nget across the boundary before the\nbright detectives got wise, and in his\nI method of fighting extradition he\nseems to be the equal of the police,\nwhose slack watch on the man will now\ncost the city hundreds of dollars before he is brought back, if he ever is.\nPenny Postage.\nA Christmastide visitor to Victoria\nwas Sir J. Henniker Seaton, the apostle\nof world-wide penny postage. He arrived on the Miowera from Australia\non Saturday, and passed on some of his\nenthusiasm in this cause to Victoria\nnewspaper men. Sir J. Henniker Hea-\nton has outgrown the limitations' of his\nfirst crusade for Imperial penny postage, and is now hard at work advocating the extension of this cheap means\nof communication to the world at\nlarge. It is a splendid scheme, and\nno doubt the difficulties at present confronting it will gradually be overcome.\nThe traveller states tllat Australia has\nrecovered from the draught and that\nthe country will advance. He is, however, somewhat fearful of the tendency\nin Australia towards experimental\nlegislation of a Socialistic order.\nDeath of Mr. Prefontaine.\nOn Christmas eve in Paris occurred\nthe death of the Hon. Raymond Prefontaine, Minister of Marine and Fisheries. Mr. Prefontaine's end was sudden and unexpected. Accompanied hy\nVancouver's City Hall Troubles.\nHere is how the aldermen of Vancouver practice economy (?): $108 per\nweek is paid for foremen and $20 per\nweek to an inspector of street work\ndone by a crew of men whose total\npay amounts to only $144. It looks as\nif every man required a boss of his\nown. Mayor Buscombe seems to be\nthe only duck in the mayoral pond,\nand is likely to be re-elected by acclamation. But not so with the aldermen. There are many aspirants for\nhonors, and when election day comes\nalong there will be no lack of candidates. Some have an axe to grind,\nwhile others believe that at present\ncity affairs are being mismanaged and\nthat it is time that the meaning of\nthe word \"economy\" is made known\nat the city hall.\nLord Curzon, ex-Viceroy of India,\nhad a splendid reception on his return\nto England.\nAn interesting development in the\nmunicipal situation in Victoria is the\nannouncement of the candidature of\nMr. A. J. Morley, a gentleman who\nhas been demonstrating his interest in\ncity affairs for some years past in Victoria. Mr. Morley first came into public view through his opposition to the\nmethods of \"the ring\" in city life. He\nled'the opposition to the old \"bosses\"\nin the Board of Trade, and while he\ndid not succeed in his efforts to instil\nsome real life into that organization he\ndid succeed in at least disturbing its\nslumbers. For this and other reasons\nMr. Morley\"s candidature is worthy of\nthe consideration of Victorians.\n* * *\nVictoria wants a live mayor. It may\nbe that many citizens do not altogether\napprove the whole of the programme\noutlined by Mr. Morley. They have\nnot yet been educated up to the modern principles of municipal government.\nThey are accustomed to the idea of\ncorporation-owned franchises, because\nmany of them are interested in corporations, and municipal ownership has a\ndeadly sound\u00E2\u0080\u0094they think they hear\nafar off the clash of the cymbals of\nSocialism. But this fear arises from\nimaginary causes. It clearly is better\nfor the city to profit by public services\nthan for corporations to declare dividends] thereon for shareholders in\nEngland. Besides the corporation's interest is to make money, while the city\ngovernment's interest is to give a\ngood and cheap service to the citizens.\n* * *\nAt. the time of writing Mr. Mor-\nley's candidature is the only one announced. Mr. Goodacre, who would\nhave been a popular candidate, says he\nwill not offer himself for the position.\nMr. Hayward is reported to be thinking the situation over and so, oddly\nenough, is Mr. Lewis Hall. Mr. Hall\nis a Liberal and true to their instinct\nof seizing upon any position from\nwhich loaves and fishes can he distributed, the Liberals are most anxious\nto have a mayor who is one of themselves. Mr. Hall has no qualifications\nfor the mayoralty. A correspondent in\nthe Times says that Mr. Hall has made\na \"clean and honorable record\" on the\nschool board and in the city council.\nSo far as The Week knows, Mr. Hall\nhas made no record of any sort. It\nwould take a lot of imagination to suppose that Mr. Hall is capable of making a record. In private life Mr. Hall\nmay be a most estimable man, but in\npublic life he is simply a nonentity.\n* * *\nThe Colonist states in its news columns that if Mr. Hayward becomes a\ncandidate he is sure of election. That\nmay or may not be the case, but it is\ncertain that the election of Mr. Hayward would mean no real change in\nthe conduct of city affairs\u00E2\u0080\u0094and a\nchange is badly wanted. Into the\nbreach comes Mr. Morley with a\ndefinite political policy, and he is the\nfirst candidate for mayor in Victoria\nwho can be said to have had a definite\npolicy. He declares for \"municipal\ncontrol and gradual ownership of pub\nlic utilities; for the replacing of the\npresent high rates for light with the\nminimum for good service; for a square\ndeal on the water question.\" There is\nnoting radical in this programme; it\nis a simple and business-like proposition. Except for one thing, the possession by Mr. Morley of certain\nfriends and supporters of extremist\nviews, The Week believes that Mr.\nMorley would be a certain winner. But\nit is only natural that Mr. Morley\nshould attract the support of the extremists, because his modern views\ncome nearer to the extremist doctrine\nthan those of the old party in Victoria.\n* * *\nMr. Morley is not a Socialist, neither is he a Conservative or a Liberal.\nAt least if he does belong to either of\nthe big political parties he has kept his\nfaith very much under a bushel. But\nhis political independence is another\npoint in his favor, for party considerations can be set aside in the mayoralty election.\nIT HAPPENED IN VANCOUVER.\nA well known Vancouver gentleman\non arrival at his home in the West End\nthe other evening found his daughter\nin the arms of an equally well known\nyoung man of the Terminal City. Papa\nlooked at the scene for a moment Then\nhis wrath burst forth and the fond\ndream of love was broken and thc\nyoung couple parted company at a rapid\nrate. Then papa proceeded to give a\ngrand oration on the subject of love\nwhile the young man, not yet over his\nsurprise, stood with his mouth open.\nHe evidently was expecting an introduction of leather to tailored garments\nbut after liis speech papa headed for\nthe club to drown his sorrows. Then\nthe young man bucked up courage, took\nthe young maiden in his arms and\nsought her mother. The good graces of\nthe mother were secured and the young\nman can now pay his court in the house\ninstead of on the verandah. And soon\nwill the merry bells ring.\nGRIFFIN'S\nEXTRA TABLE FRUITS J\nApricots, 25c. per tin.\nPears, 30o. per tin.\nPeaches, 80e per tin.\nSliced Peaches. 20c. per tin.\ni DIXI H.

Bates had been elected Mayor of\nNanaimo with a majority of 17. The\nitem referred to the elections of 1875.\nBut the \"scissors man\" of the News-\nAdvertiser took his fling at it and he\nreproduced the item from the Colonist.\n'Tis small wonder that the business\nmen aVe crying for up-to-date morning\npapers in the two principal cities which\nwill contain news and not history thirty\nyears old dished up.\nNow that Vancouver is \"dry\" on Sundays, there is a great demand for Capilano water.

Many years\nago public opinion in the United Kingdom revolted against the barbarous and\nabsurd treatment of debtors, who were\nimprisoned by their creditors until\"\nsuch time as their friends might pay\ntheir debts or death released them\nfrom a miserable and hopeless existence. The reform in the law was\nfought bitterly by a large section of,\ntne trading classes, who considered\nthat their interests would suffer, and\nwho cared little for any other considerations, such as justice and humanity.\nBut right prevailed and the foundation,\nof the present bankruptcy laws of\nGreat Britain was laid in parliament.\nThese laws are not yet perfect by any\nmeans. Their application has the disadvantage common to the law, of involving altogether too much expense\nin fees and costs for the poorer class\nof debtor to bear. But the right principle is in existence and there is no\ndoubt that the disability referred to\nwill be gradually removed.\nIn Australia there is an amendment\nto the English bankruptcy law in force\nwhich reduces the cost of obtaining release from debt almost to the minimum\nso that there is no distinction made in\nthe treatment of the rich and the poor,\nor rather the large and the small debtor. This is just. While the great merchant who has failed is able to raise.,\nsufficient money to obtain release from\nhis difficulties and the opportunity\u00E2\u0080\u0094so\ndesirable in the interests of the community\u00E2\u0080\u0094to make another start in life,\nthe small shop-keeper or the salaried\nman, who has become overwhelmed\nwith debts, also has a right to a fair\nchance to retrieve his position and enjoy life without the constant worry\nof harassing creditors.\nThe Ethics of It,\nI do not think any sensible person\ncan seriously question the justice and\nmorality of the bankruptcy law. It\nmatters very little what causes may\nhave led to the failure of a man\u00E2\u0080\u0094al-\n! though of course the judge takes these\n' into consideration in dealing with an\n1 application in bankruptcy\u00E2\u0080\u0094for the fact\nJ remains that he has failed and that he\n' must make a new start in life to win\nI a livelihood for himself. It is clear\n1 that it is to thc general advantage of\nI the community that he should succeed\nin his new effort, and therefor the law\n1 should be such as will assist him to do\n] so. Of course the interests of those\nwho suffer through his failure, his\ncreditors, must also be considered.\nI Perhaps they have a just claim to first\nconsideration, but in the absence of a\nI bankruptcy law what happens? The\nman who fails has the choice of two\nalternatives, to struggle on under continual embarrassment, unable to acquire any property or even a home to\nshelter himself and his family, or he\nmay quit thc country. I am writing\nnow of the \"small\" failure\u00E2\u0080\u0094which\nvariety of failure is very common in\nI British Columbia\u00E2\u0080\u0094thc man who has\nput up a game fight against ever increasing odds and who has entirely exhausted his resources before his shutters go up. The man who still has in\nhis possession a little property, stock\nor money can obtain release by assigning, always providing that his creditors are willing to accept the dividend\noffered and give him a clean bill in re- THE WEEK, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1905.\nturn. But, just now, I want to direct\nthe reader's attention to the \"small\"\ndebtor and to plead his cause and his\nclaim to the protection of the law.\nCase of the Wage-earner.\nTake, for example, the case of a\nman who is working for the average\nwage, we will say, of $100 a month. He\nis a married man with children. He\nhas a home, which he has bought on\nthe time payment system and which is\ncosting him, let us say, $15 a month.\nHis furniture, obtained on the same\nsystem, is not yet paid for and that\ncosts him $10 a month. Being a careful\nman he has insured his life in the interests of his family for $2,000 and\nthis costs him (averaging it up) $8 per\nmonth. This leaves him $67 a month\non which to clothe and feed his wife\nand children and pay his rates and\ntaxes. As may be well believed it\nleaves him very little over for emergencies! However, with the exercise\nof economy he gets along all right,\nyear after year, until the inevitable\n\"something\" comes along. Perhaps his\nwife falls ill and an operation and expensive treatment become necessary.\nThe hospital and doctor's bills have to\nbe paid or partly paid, hired help in\nthe house becomes necessary and the\nman gets into debt. The expenses involved in his wife's illness may not\nlook very large to some people; they\nmay not amount to more than $300,\nbut $300 is a big sum to a married\nman earning $100 a month. Troubles\nson thicken, the monthly bills of the\ngrocer and butcher cannot be paid and\nafter a time the man is sued in the\nSmall Debts court and judgments entered against him. That is the beginning of the end. He is continually being harassed by creditors, who have\nnow added law costs to their original\nclaims, and his credit has vanished.\nThe court orders him to make monthly\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2payments towards thc settlement of his\ndebts, and to obey he has to get behind with the house and furniture and\ninsurance people, and so it goes on\nuntil he gradually loses it all\u00E2\u0080\u0094house,\nfurniture and insurance, and still owes\nmoney which he cannot pay. Now\nwould it not be much better for the\ncommunity if the law protected a\nman's home from seizure and gave him\nrelease from debts which he cannot\npay? Does anyone but the lawyer and\nthe land shark profit by the ruin of\nthis good citizen? In my opinion the\nfate of that man\u00E2\u0080\u0094and it is such a\ncommon fate that I know personally\nof many men in such a predicament in\nVictoria and Vancouver\u00E2\u0080\u0094is a disgrace\nto our social system. Nine times out\nof ten the unfortunate debtor becomes\ndispirited and if he is unable to break\naway and make a new start in a country with wiser laws, he is apt to \"take\nto drink\" and his end is ruin and disgrace.\nMeans of Protection.\nIf a salaried man is wise and has\nno objection to protecting himself\nagainst the consequences of possible\ndifficulties of the sort recorded above,\njhe can settle his house and his furniture on his wife. The people he is\ndealing with, the grocer, the baker and\nthe butcher, see that he has a home and\ngive him credit accordingly. If he\ngets into difficulties the grocer and the\nrest of them find that their supposed\nsecurity is non-existent. He has\nsigned it away. This course is not\nstrictly honest, but we can hardly wonder that it is adopted by so many salaried men in British Columbia, under\nthe circumstances.\nThe Bachelor's Case.\nThen there is thc man who has 110\n\"encumbrances,\" the salaried man\nwithout either a home or a family. He\nmay get into debt in a hundred ways;\nsometimes through being out of work.\niNo sooner does he secure \"a job\" than\nhis creditors are after him. Fearing\nthat his employers may dislike bis being in debt, the duns worry him and so\nperhaps he borrows money from the\nJews to keep them off for a while. This\ncosts 5 per cent a month, and the duns\nare not kept off for very long. Then\ncome the inevitable judgments against\nhim and the garnishee orders which all\nemployers strongly dislike being served\nupon them. The debtor gets worried\nand angry; argues to himself that there\nis no use flogging a dead horse and so\nno use in working for other people or\nrather earning money for their benefit.\nSo he packs his traps and hies him to\nanother country. Can anyone seriously\nblame him?\nMost men of honorable character\ntake a pleasure in paying their \"just\ndebts,\" but no man honorable or otherwise, in the West, anyway, has any\npleasure in paying when he is forced\nto pay, and in paying people who have\nnot treated him fairly or with consideration. In the result, the creditors\nlose the best part of their money and\nthe country loses a useful citizen. British Columbia has lost and is losing\nthousands of young men in just this\nway.\nNext week I will endeavor to deal\nwith the more important effects on the\ncommunity of the existing law in its\napplication to men who fail in business.\nREFORMER.\nA LONELY CHRISTMAS.\nThe Original Grand View\nHotel\n; Opposite C.

She\nwrites :\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nThe trite saying that Christmas needs\ncompany is one of the truest things\never uttered. Last Christmas it came\nin my way to encounter a man person\nwho had been fined for outrageous conduct on the joyous anniversary. \"How\ncould you forget it was Christmas?\"\nI asked him. \"That's what I started\nout to do,\" he said with emphasis. It\nwas the first time in my life I was\never alone in the world at Christmas,\nand it just drove me foolish. It's a\nqueer old thing what a way it has, that\nday, of turning one inside out. I tried\nbeing philanthropic, and went to the\nchurch fete on Christmas Eve, and\nspent a good deal, giving presents from\nthe booths to anyone that came along.\nThey thought I was daffy, and the girls\ncrowded around me, making me buy\ngrab-bag tickets and take chances, but\nnot one said, \"A Merry Christmas to\nyou, stranger.\" All they were after was\nmy 'oof. On Christmas Day I went out\nat dinner time and ordered me a fine\nmeal at the King Edward, and pretended I enjoyed it, along with several\nother lonesome ducks; then we went\nout, it was Sunday, you know, and you\nalso know what followed. By night\ntime I'd got so positively crazy with\nloneliness that I didn't object to doing\nanything that came into my head. I\nmet a girl who smiled at me, and I\nkissed her and asked her to wish me a\nMerry Christmas if she could, and she\ncalled a policeman. Oh, I know it was\nall right, but I tell you, Lady Gay, all\nthose men who are spending Christmas\nalone ought to be locked up beforehand, not after such a mean twenty-\nfour hours as I have had.\" This Christmas that man will be far enough away\nfrom civilization and policemen, except\none of the Mounted Policemen may ride\ninto camp. He will join a score of\nother hardy pioneers in a grand banquet\nof \"pig and bean,\" washed down with\ntea, strong and boiling. He will without doubt tell them of his peculiar experience when he scared a pretty girl\nnearly into fits ,and finished his holiday in the police cells, and they will all\nunderstand, as some of tu here understand, that it isn't good for man to be\nalone, in the Garden of Eden, perhaps,\nbut certainly not in town on Christmas\nDay.\nQUEENS HOTEL\nHENRY HOPKIRK, Proprietor.\nTELEPHONE 1828. \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 - VANCOUVER, B.C.\nEuropean and American Plan.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1905.\nCONCERNING \"THE WEEK.\"\nThis number of The Week marks\nthe close of the year 1905, and also\nterminates the second year in the existence of this publication. It commenced at the beginning of 1903 as\nTruth, under the direction of Mr.\nDavid B. Bogle, who, on account of\ndifferences in the Conservative party in\nVictoria, had just resigned the editorship of The Colonist. Truth was a\nbright little paper, but Mr. Bogle soon\ntired of the struggle for its existence,\nand sold out for a nominal sum to Mr.\nC. H. Lugrin, also a former editor of\nThc Colonist, who changed the name\nof the publication to Progress. Progress was devoted chiefly to the interests of the Liberal party, with which\nMr. Lugrin had become allied, and the\nsuccess of the party in Victoria brought\nconsiderable support to the champion\nof its cause. Still, it was no easy matter to weather the stormy seas of\njournalism\u00E2\u0080\u0094particularly dangerous in\nVictoria for small or weekly craft\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand in November, 1904, Mr. Lugrin accepted a cash offer from the present\nproprietors, who, at the commencement\nof 1904, again changed the name of the\npaper to The Week. Under the new\nmanagement The Week became recognized as a \"provincial paper,\" and acquired a large and constantly increasing\ncirculation throughout British Columbia, and last month it was decided to\nopen an office in Vancouver, where the\ncirculation of the paper already is as\nlarge as it is in Victoria. With the increasing demand on the advertising\nspace in The Week, enlargement of the\npaper is now necessary and justifiable\nfrom a business standpoint, and the\nproprietors confidently expect that further improvements will be made during\nthc coming year. For the measure of\nsuccess so far achieved The Week\nthanks those advertisers and subscribers who have rendered it possible, and\nalso extends thanks to the editors of\nmany newspapers in the province for\nkindly assistance, which is the more appreciated because it has been given\nunasked.\nIn wishing its readers a very happy\nthe prosperous new year, The Week\nassures them that it will continue to\nadvocate the best interests of British\nColumbia, as it has done in the past,\nand will endeavor to grow in wisdom\nand ability.\nseveral political nonentities have been\npitchforked into the cabinet by Sir\nHenry because\u00E2\u0080\u0094and no other reason is\nevident\u00E2\u0080\u0094they hail from the same side\nof the Tweed as himself. This correspondence, insignificant from any standpoint, is taken advantage of by the\nScotch-Canadian editor of The Times\nfor a folish but insulting comparison\nbetween the English and the Scotch\npeople. These comparisons are considered by persons of culture to be in\nbad taste; they are inevitably foolish.\nThe two nations differ from each other in personal cnaracteristics, but to\nsay, as The Times does, that the\nScotch people have proved their mental superiority to the English people\nis as absurd as it is impertinent.\nThe Times, in the course of the\narticle referred to, says; \"One would\nthink Englishmen had now become sufficiently accustomed to the domination\nof the 'master minds' of the superior\nrace to bow themselves to the inevitable. Operations are fashionable in\nthese days of advanced medical science,\nand if the humor of the situation does\nnot appeal to them, the late Sidney\nSmith's remedy for a certain constitutional defect ought to be applied.\"\nIf any man, Englishman or otherwise, ever took The Times seriously or\nconsidered its editorials worthy of\nperusal or consideration, it might be\nworth while to show the utter fallacy\nof any claim on the part of Scotchmen\nto any sort of superiority, in mind,\nmanners or morals, to Englishmen; but\nunder the circumstances it is not necessary.\nWhether Sir Henry Campbell-Ban-\nnerman's cabinet is worthy of support\nor not, is for the people of the United\nKingdom (England, Scotland, Ireland,\nWales) to decide. The fact that there\nare many or few Scotchmen in it will\nhave no weight with the people of any\npart of Great Britain, except, possibly,\nin Scotland. The question is, are they\ngood men and is their policy good?\nThe Times may rest assured that\nEnglishmen are not and never will be\n\"accustomed to the domination of the\nmaster minds of any superior race,\"\nand are not in the habit of \"bowing to\nthe inevitable.\" The inevitable hardly\nexists, unless in the inevitable folly of\nany attempt on the part of the editor\nof The Times to write like a sensible\nman.\nThere are a few \"master minds\" to\nwhich' Englishmen pay tribute\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\nminds of such men as Shakespeare,\nWordsworth, Byron, Tennyson, Voltaire, Taine, and of many other great\nmen in other fields of human endeavor,\nbut so far as we recollect, not a very\nlarge proportion of them could claim\nScotland as birthplace.\nMunicipa Politics\nin West Kootenay\nJubilation of Nelson Fruit Orowers\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nNews and Nut.s of the\nDistrict.\nA BOOK OF B. C.\nA very handsome book has just been\nissued by The Colonist office entitled\n\"Mother Earth's Treasure Vaults\" by\nPercy F. Godenrath. The book contains about 50 pages devoted to tales\nof \"achievement, development, and opportunity,\" in Boundary, Similkameen,\nNicola and Southern Okanagan districts\nof British Columbia, written in Mr.\nGodenrath's well known breezy and\npowerful style. The book is handsomely illustrated and is undoubtedly a\nvaluable contribution to the \"publicity\"\nliterature of the country. In preparing\nthis book, Mr. Godenrath had the great\nadvantage of personal knowledge and\nexperience gained in his profitable wanderings over the territory described during many years past; and an intimate\nacquaintance with the type of pioneer\nwho seeks his fortune in the mountain\nfastnesses of British Columbia. In addition to the half-tone illustrations\nthere are a number of valuable maps\nand plans contained in the book, which\nreflects great credit on the compiler\nand the printer. Everyone interested in\nthe development of the province should\nbuy a copy of \"Mother Earth's Treasure Vaults\" which is issued at the low\nprice of 25 cents.\n\"ENGLAND AROUSED.\"\nUnder the above caption The Victoria Times recently dealt with certain\ncorrespondence that has appeared in\nLondon newspapers nn the national\ncolor of Sir Henry Carnobell-Banner-\nmnn's cabinet. It appears that some\npeople take exception to the fact that\nHAULTAIN'S FUTURE.\nEx-premier Haultain has made a\ngreat fight in Saskatchewan, and latest\nreports say the contest has resulted in\na tie. With the election machinery in\nthe hands of an unscrupulous government, it is easy to guess the result. No\nmatter how it goes this week of the\nyear, Haultain will yet be Premier of\nCanada and put his persecutors where\nthey belong.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Toronto Saturday Night.\nNelson, December 24.\nMunicipal politics are now again the\nchief topic of conversation in the Kootenay and the struggle in its two chiel\ncities, Nelson and Rossland, is rapidly\nwarming up. The situation in Rossland\nis somewhat peculiar. Heretotore\nthere has been no mayor of that city,\ndespite the overwhelming numbers of\nthe miners, who could in any sense be\nregarded as a worKingman's candidate.\nThat is to be reversed this year. Both\nmen may be said, in a sense, to be\nworking men's candidates. P. R. Macdonald, at present alderman, is the real\narticle. He has been secretary of the\nunion, he has been alderman twice, he\nhas been president of the whole of the\nWestern Federation in this province,\nand he is still a member of the union.\nThomas Embleton is his opponent.\nThomas has sat for several years in\nthe conucil. He ran a little grocery\nyears ago in the heart of the miners'\nresidential district. He ran as their\ncandidate for aldermanic honors. He\ntopped the poll. He has repeated that\nfeat several times and has now got a\ngood store on the principal street.\nHence the contest is likely to be close.\nAs to the issue there apparently is\nnothing in particular. Rossland is\npicking up gradually, but will have a\nhard row to dig for some time owing\nto the management or mismanagement\nof the earlier days of incorporation.\nNelson also has two candidates for\nmayor. The one is Alderman Gillett,\nwho was elected last year in opposition to the Houston party. Alderman\nGjillett has been acting mayor since\nthe resignation of Acting Mayor Bird.\nAlderman Bird proposed that the city\naccept a compromise with the West\nKootenay Power & Light Company,\nalthough he was of the opinion that\nthat company was \"holding up\" the\ncity. Alderman Gillett agreed with\nhim. The remainder of the council\nturned the compromise down. Hence\nthe acting mayor resigned. Alderman\nGillett was at one with Alderman Bird,\nbut said that as the council had voted\nto continue the fight he was willing to\nlead the way. Nevertheless his opponents declare that he is only half-hearted\nin thc matter. Alderman Gillett is a\ncontractor and is therefore thought thc\nbetter fitted to look after the completion\nof tbe power plant, which has been\nthrown upon the city's hands by the\ncontractors. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 At a meeting held recently several of those who had previously backed Mayor Houston were\nfound to be on Gillett's committee, and\nit is therefore probable enough that\nGillett will be hard to beat, as his side\nmaintain that there is no difference of\nopinion in the city as to the advisability\nof the city owning its own power plant.\nOn the other side is Alderman Ma-\nlone, a backer of John Houston, and\nthe alderman that filled his place' when\nHouston was absent at Victoria, and\na whole-hearted \"Progressive\" party,\nas the party of John Houston was\ntermed. Alderman Malone is a hotel-\nkeeper and is a popular man. His candidacy is warmly backed by the main\nstrength of thc former Houston following, and it is claimed on his behalf\nthat there is no doubt as to his desire to see the municipal plant erected without compromise with the private company which has given so much\ntrouble of late, since the unfortunate\ndecision of Mr. Justice Irving as to\nrocks finding their way down stream\nfrom the site of the new plant to that\nof the West Koo nay Power & Light\nCompany. The candidature of Alderman Malone is without an organ in\nthe city, and it is reported that the\nTribune will be resusciated in the\nnear future to fight his battles. Could\nthe citizens of Nelson be made to believe that either one of these men was\nsecretly against the municipal power\nplant then that man would certainly be\ndefeated whether he had a newspaper\nbehind him or not. That is the real\nissue of the whole thing.\nThe Nelson fruit growers arc extremely cock-a-whooh over British Columbia gaining the prize at the late Imperial horticultural exhibit in London,\nand even more so because this district\ngot the silver medal for the hest ex\nhibit in the province. \"British Co-1\nlumbia beats the empire,\" they cry,\n\"and we beat all British Columbia!\"\nThe slogan is a magnificent one and\nmoreover has encouraged the fruit\ngrowers to incorporate their association and capitalize it for some $50,000\nin order to look after the marketing of\nthe product of the ranches directly.\nLast season the strawberries raised\namounted to 25,000 crates and this\nyear Secretary Morley declares that the\noutput will certainly not fall below 45,-\n000 crates. Besides, there is a plentiful crop of raspberries, currants, gooseberries and other small fruits, while\nevery year the apples and pears and\nplums, cherries and peaches are growing more and more in evidence and\nyearly the acreage devoted to orchards\nis growing greater. Land has gone up\nconsiderably in value and favourable\nspots will command as much as $250\nan acre and be fully worth the outlay.\nHence there has arisen talk of systematically advertising the city, and\nconclaves are meeting over this question\nfrequently. The brokers are the immediate men who are benefited and after them the whole community. So in\nraising a fund there is a feeing that\nthe brokers ought to be prominent in\ntheir giving towards the fund that will\nhave to be raised to advertise at all\nsystematically. But the brokers declare that they are at heavy expense\nand do not see why they should be\nparticularly mulcted. And so say all\nthe rest, each man advertises more or\nless and thinks that his advertising is\nbenefiting somebody else and not himself, except perhaps the very keenest.\nHowever, cities and insurance companies, railroads and even such magnates as F. August Heinze are keen on\nadvertising themselves and sooner or\nlater Nelson will join the happy procession and force the p'ace a bit in\nfavor of the \"City by the Lake.\" Generally speaking, Nelson is doing well.\nIts smelter is paying and smelting more\nand more ore daily; its mines are beginning once more to look prosperous;\nis lumber industry is assuming a\nwealthier aspect, and presently its fruit\nranchers will assume a situation in society far excelling that of any johnny-\ncomc-lately or even a bank clerk. They\nwill be wealthy men. Hence Nelson\nwants to tell the rest of the less favored\nuniverse what a good place it is and\nto invite others to share in its advantages.\nNew Year's\nRequisites\nWill you \"receive\" this year?

If at this gift-\nIving season any olden friend should\nre moved to confer a real pang of\nleasure on this chronicler of things in\n(eneral, the readiest' way would be to\nim loose at Weiler Bros.' with \"carte\nilanche\" to buy until surfeited.\nI heard a most interesting fact the\nither day about my pet, \"4711\" eau de\njfologne, namely, that its distinctive\n(tie was chosen because its inventor\nthe happy parent of four sons and\n|even daughters\u00E2\u0080\u0094eleven in all. Since\nfearing this quite a personal interest\nleems to hover over the bottle with its\n[istinctive green and gold label on my\nIressing table, which label, by the way,\nIs something of an old friend by now.\nAnd I can vouch for the superiority\nif its quality. Terry & Marrett always\n:arry a good stock of this splendid\ntologne water.\nAmong the presents that gladdened\nfmy heart exceedingly on Christmas\n^timorn were several gifts of gloves, gifts\nWljiat aie \"always with us,\" because\n[loves are no longer luxuries, but ne-\nissities.

Legend attributes the\n[ention of the glove to a woman, for\n|en Venus, in love with Adonis, and\nlowing him in the chase, tore her\nid on a thorn, she thereupon:\nide all at once her unclad graces\nsew\nleathen shelter for her hand of\nsnow.\"\nid judging from the number of glove |\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2tificates sold by the well known\nof Finch & Finch, there were any\nlount of feminine hearts made joyful\nChristmas besides mine own.\n'uring my Christmas shopping cruise\n[happened in at Fletcher Bros.' music\nire, where I was shown their won-\nirful display of Gerhard Heintzman\ninos that show off to advantage in\n:ir beautiful new music hall that has\nlately been erected. The acoustic\niperties of this hall are such that if\nIncerts were to be given there, those\n[esent would be able to hear every\nite of music, Mr. Fletcher having inducted his contractor to leave out all\nirners, which would otherwise have\n:erfered with the sound.\nLast night I arrived at the conclusion\nlat a dinner party is one of the pleas-\nitest forms of entertainment that\nivilization affords, provided always\nliat the right woman is allotted to the\n[ht man. When the conversation be-\nle general, a discussion arose as to\n|ich quality in man appeals most\nfsistibly to woman. The consen-\nof opinion was in favor of gener-\nly, in Its broadest sense.
