" VAN DYKE'S LILLY BLOOM\nFlesh and White\u00E2\u0080\u009450c\nFor Theatres, Balls and\nParties\nTerry's Drug Store\nFout and Douglas\nThe Week\n_\ British Columbia Review,\nHALL & WALKER\nAgents\nWELLINGTON COLLIERY\nCOMPANY'S COAL\n1232 Government St.\nTelephone SS\nPublished at Victoria, B. 6.\nI Vol. VII. _o. \\nTHE AVEEK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1910\nOne Dollar Pee Annum\nIemos AROUSED\nIt is not every man who has a true\n(use of proportion, and there are some\n\u00C2\u00ABple in Victoria Avho think that the real\nEiestion at issue betAveen the City Council\nid the City Engineer is whether or not\nis a competent man for the position\noccupies. The Week Avould venture\npoint out that Avliile this may have been\ne question on or about August lst, it\nis long since been forced into the back-\nound by a question of far greater im-\nirtance, and of vital interest to the corn-\nunity;, and that question is Avhether in\ne Capital City of British Columbia a\niblic servant shall have a square deal\nid British fair play. The change of\nIsue has been brought about by the nian-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0Jr in which the subject has heen handled\nthe Mayor and Council. If they had\nI weeded in a more judicial manner, ancl\nid not allowed it to become knoAvn that\nrtain very injudicious remarks had been\nade betraying a lack of sympathy Avith\ne Engineer and a determination to get\nof him willy-nilly, the probability is\nlat the Council would have been able to\nrininate his engagement on terms honour-\nIle to all parties concerned. _o one can\nspute the right of the Council to engage\ndismiss a civic servant. Apart from\n|eir prescriptive right, the by-laws make\nperfectly clear that they have a specific\njtthority in this matter. Whew once the\n[tepayers have elected their representa-\ni*es, the latter are absolute in authority\nIithin the limits of the law; and that\nlthority undoubtedly entitles them to dis-\niss any servant, even Avithout assigning\nreason. But, while this is so, it must\nit be forgotten that in many matters it\nstill a fact that the letter of the laAv\nfills, and that an enlightened public con-\njience and, Avithin the Empire at any\nite, a universal sense of British fair play\n(as quickened public sentiment and has\nrected a barrier betAveen the abuse of\nKiAver and its victim. Such poAver may be\nbused in more ways than one. It Avould\nie an abuse to discharge a competent ser-\nant; it is equally an abuse to discharge\nn incompetent person in an improper\niianner. The amenities of civilization de-\niiand fair consideration for a man's feel;\nngs and personal interests; and if he has\nlot forfeited confidence by any act reflect-\nng upon his moral character, he cannot be\nummarily dismissed, even for incompetency, until he has had a full and fair\nleaving and an opportunity to meet any\ndiarges that may be brought against him.\nThe City Engineer of Victoria has not\nlad such an opportunity, although if the\nResolution passed by the Council on Mon-\nlay night is acted upon the opportunity\nlivill be furnished. Briefly, the case is\n[hat ever since coming to Victoria Mr.\npinith has had to contend with disloyalty\nlind disaffection on tlie part of some of liis\nsubordinates; that tlie Mayor\u00E2\u0080\u0094and at any\nate some of the Aldermen\u00E2\u0080\u0094have so far\nforgotten A\diat is due to a professional\nnan as to listen to tales behind his back,\niistead of Avhat any straightforward\n-Sritisher Avould do\u00E2\u0080\u0094either discharge the\nnen AA'ho made the complaints or refuse\no listen to them except in the presence of\nhe Engineer. The result lias been groAV-\nng disaffection, and Avhen to this is added\nhe fact that several unfortunate remarks\nif the Mayor, one for instance to ex-Aid.\nHeston and anothej' to the City Engineer\nlimself, havc created a belief that he Avas\netenniued to get r|d of Mr. Smith, it is\not to be wondered at that public**, senti-\nlent has been aroused and that at every\n:reet corner sympathy has been expressed\npr an official Avho, although a perfect\nJranger to nine-tenths of the people, is\nJeemed not to have received British fair\nlay. J\To one could have Avitnessed Avhat\noccurred at the public meeting on Monday\nnight Avithout realizing that something far\nmore important than the competency of\nthe Engineer Avas involved. In spite of\nby-laAVs and regulations, not even the City\nCouncil can ride rough-shod over the\nrights of a private individual; and men of\nall classes, including labourers, storekeepers, commercial and professional representatives, Avere unanimous in denouncing the tactics of the Mayor. It is certain\nthat if he had attempted to carry out his\nthreat to clear the Council Chamber there\nAvould have been a riot. Noav, all this is\nbeside the question of Avhether or not Mr.\nSmith is a competent City Engineer, and\nAvhether or not he should be retained in\nthat position. It means that there is a\nbigger question, ancl that not the rights\nof one individual; but of the Avhole community, are at stake. Mr. Smith may or\nmay not be competent. Indeed, he has not\nbeen long enough in control to determine\nthe point; but the methods adopted have\nrendered it impossible to discharge him.\nPublic opinion Avill insist that hc lie allowed to remain, and that an opportunity\nbe afforded him of making good. If it\nshould turn out that the Mayor is correct\nand that he is incompetent, then only the\nMayor and Council Avill be to blame for\nhaving saddled the City for a longer\nperiod with an incompetent engineer because they endeavoured to get, rid of him\nin an improper manner. The AVeek joins\nin the general regret that such unseemly\nwrangling as characterized Monday night's\nmeeting should take place. Arictoria never\nhad a Avorse advertisement, and cannot\nafford a repetition. There is a Avay out\nof the difficulty, ancl one Avhich in the\nopinion of The Week could be accepted by\nboth parties Avithout sacrificing their rights\nand certainly Avithout losing a feather. It\nAvas announced by the Mayor on Monday\nnight that Mr. Rust, the City Engineer of\nToronto, was willing' to take a similar\nposition in A'ictoria at a salary of $5,000\na year. Mr. Rust is a man of very Avide\nexperience, and of great eminence in his\nprofession; ancl if Mr. Smith AA'ere not in\nquestion, there is no doubt but that Arictoria Avould be extremely fortunate in\nsecuring such a man as Mr. Rust. There\nis an extraordinary amount of Avork on\nhand at the present time, ancl an enormous\namount in contemplation. Within the next\nfeAV years millions of dollars will be spent\nunder the Improvement Act, and a permanent Avater system Avill have to be installed. There is more Ai'ork here than\nany one man can attend to. It should be\npossible to make an arrangement by which\nthe City could avail itself of the services\nof Mr. Rust and Air. Smith, for. Avhoever\nmay be City Engineer, it is certain that\nan assistant will be required. The Week\nbelieves that in order to bury the hatchet\nand ensure unanimity in policy and in\naction, this suggestion is well worth consideration, and if carefully worked out\nA\Toiild furnish a satisfactory solution to\nthe difficulty. It has little faith in an\ninvestigation, Avhich may reveal that Air.\nSmith has made some mistakes but the\nCity did not engage an infallible engineer,\nor expect to do so; and the time employed\nin such an investigation Avould be far\nbetter spent in supervising the Avork. If,\nhoAvever, such an investigation is to be\nheld, the Mayor and Council, who are the\naccusers, are hardly the ones to adjudicate.\nTHE DALLAS HOTEL\nSome people are aggrieved because The\nAVeek, in pursuance of information received, suggested that the Dallas Hotel\nshould receive a little attention at the\nhands of the police authorities. It is\nhardly necessary for The AVeek to assure\nits readers that it is not in the habit of\nproceeding on unreliable or incomplete in\nformation. It had been informed, by persons avIio had participated on many occasions, that men had been in the habit of\ngoing to the Dallas Hotel on Sundays for\nthe sole purpose of getting liquor, and\nthat they Avere able to get it. If there\nAvere no foundation for this complaint, it\nis a little singular that within forty-eight\nhours of an indefinite suggestion appearing\nin the columns of The Week the police\nshould have been able to witness such proceedings in the billiard-room and bar-room\nas made them feel justified in lodging a\ncomplaint and taking the matter into\ncourt. This, in itself, fully justified all\nthat The Week said, fhe case fell\nthrough, as so many cases do fall through,\nbecause of the extreme difficulty of complying Avith the technical requirements of\nthe laAv. The AA'eek must accept the verdict of the court, and does so unhesitatingly, but no fair-minded man will deny that\nthe case Avas one of grave suspicion, and\nthat the circumstances fully justified the\ncharge. A man AA7as seen to take a tray\nwith a number of glasses of drink from\nthe bar-room to the billiard-room, Avhere\nthe drink Avas consumed. The police saAV\nthis, but they failed to enter the house to\nexamine the glasses and to determine\nwhether the drinks Avere alcoholic or\n\"soft.\" The magistrate distinctly stated\nthat it Avas upon this point, ancl this alone,\nthat the case must be dismissed. He scouted the ridiculous suggestion of a conspiracy, and he raised no question as to the\nreliability of the policeman's evidence.\nSo, it stands thus, that a glass Avhich\ncontained a liquid looking like beer might\nhave contained ginger ale; and a glass containing a liquid looking like gin probably\ncontained water.or White Rock; and this\nexplanation is the more probable because\nit is a Avell-laiown fact that a dry Avave is\npassing over, the Continent, there is less\nalcoholic liquor being consumed, and more\nmen than ever are in the habit of Avalking\na considerable distance on Sunday to get\na drink of ginger ale or White Rock. The\nobject of The AVeek in calling attention to\nthis matter was to Avarn the parties concerned. They despised the warning, or the\npolice Avould not haA'e seen anything on\nthe following Sunday night to justify the\nlaying of a charge. They have escaped\nthis time; it is to be hoped that hereafter\nthey will be more particular, and also that\nother hotels, for the Dallas is not the only\noffender, will realize that it is the intention of the police authorities to see that\nthe 1 aw is respected. In closing this incident, The Week wishes to say that it has\nbeen the subject of sonic attempted intimidation, and that if there is any repetition\nits anSAver will be to publish iu the columns\nof The Week the details which have been\nbrought to its knoAvledge. It has refrained\nfrom doing so hitherto only because it believes that the police should do tlieir oavii\nwork.\nTHE LICENSING LAW\nIt is gratifying to learn that the recognized leaders of the Ontario Temperance\norganizations have a little more sense than\ntheir confreres in British Columbia. This\nis evidenced by the fact that they have\napproached Mr. Whitney, tbe Premier,\nwith the request to incorporate in their\nProvincial laws the despised temperance\nlegislation of the Hon. W. .1. Bowser. Tt\nis astonishing hew soon thoughtful and observant men with no axe to grind have\nbeen brought to realize that Mr. Bowser\nhas really given the public the most comprehensive and effective temperance legislation that has ever been attempted; and,\nmoreover, not only the temperance leaders\nin B. C, but the Liberal politicians, have\nbeen greatly surprised at the determined\nand indiscriminate manner in Avhich the\nlaw has been enforced. Exemplary fines\nand long ternis of imprisonment have so\ndiscouraged the law-breaker that \"blind\npigs\" will soon be a thing of the past, adventurers will be shut out of the trade, ancl\nthe liquor business will be entirely in the\nhands of properly qualified persons with\nsome stake in the country. The AVeek has\nahvays maintained that high license ancl\nstrict regulation were the best remedies\nfor intemperance\u00E2\u0080\u0094that is, so far as legislation is able to furnish a remedy. Mr.\nBowser has certainly made his mark\nthroughout the Dominion as a real temperance reformer, and nothing remains but\nfor Dr. Spencer and his coadjutors to pursue a campaign of education, and leave\nthe strong arm of the laAv to deal witb\nrefractories. These tAA'o influences Avill\nmake the people as temperate as is good\nfor human nature, anil far more temperate\nthan any attempted enforcement of the discredited Scott Act, with Avhich the Province Avas threatened only a few months\nago.\nSTAR CHAMBER PROCEEDINGS\nThe recent emente at the City Hall has\nonce more brought into prominence the\nsubject of \"secret sessions,\" or Star Chamber proceedings. It cannot be questioned\nthat the present Mayor has shewn too great\na liking for transacting business behind\nclosed doors. He may conscientiously believe that the public interest demands it,\nand The Week is not attributing any other\nnioth-e to him. All the same it, belieA*es\nthat he is mistaken, and that his conduct\ntends only to deepen public suspicion that\nthere are some things hidden that ought to\nbe made plain. It must be admitted that\ncircumstances may arise in which the\nCouncil is entitled to deliberate privately;\nbut every such circumstance must be considered on its merits, and can be justified\nonly by extreme urgency. When it is\nfound out after one of these sessions tbat\nthe matter is one in whicli the public' is\ndeeply interested, ancl furthermore that'on\nno occasion is it possible to prevent the\npress from learning what transpires, it will\nat once be seen that the very object of the\nsecret session is defeated and that no advantage whatever is gained. The AVeek\nmay be pardoned for suggesting that the\nsystem is not approved by the citizens, that\nit should be resorted to in only the most\nextreme cases; and that, as thc press will\nahvays learn what has been going on, the\nwiser course would lie to take the reporters\nin on all such occasions and to leave it to\ntheir discretion not to publish matters that\nwould be detrimental to public or private\ninterests if prematurely disclosed.\nUNIVERSITY SITE\nThe Times keeps prodding the Government on the subject of the University\nsite, alleging that the report of the Commissioners lias been received some weeks;\nif not months, ago; that A'ictoria is recommended, and that friends of the Government, taking time by the forelock, having presumably enjoyed the advantage of\nreading the Commissioners' report, and\nacquired land in the immediate vicinity\nof the proposed site. All this sounds very\nplausible, if not altogether probable. But\nwhy, oh. why, did not the friends of the\nTimes\u00E2\u0080\u0094avIio have had tbis information so\nlong\u00E2\u0080\u0094shew their belief in its reliability\nby also acquiring land in the vicinity of\nthe proposed .site ( If they have failed to\ndo so, it certainly indicates that they take\nno more stock in the opinion of the Times\nthan does The Week, and possibly even less\nstock in fhe reliability of its information.\nDr. Young says the report has not yet been\nreceived. Perhaps this will settle the\nquestion; at any rate, for the present. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1910\nAt The Street\nCorner\nBy THE LOUNGER\nThere seems to be a general demand for asphalted streets, no doubt\ndue to the excellent specimen furnished by the work already done on\nLinden Avenue. From the standpoint of cleanliness, nothing could be\nbetter, and as the most urgent problem to deal Avith in the city during\nthe Summer months is to get rid of\nthe dust, there will no doubt be general satisfaction in this regard\nwherever asphalt is used. But I\nthink the property owners of Victoria would do avcII to go a little\nslowly and to take note of the fact\nthat asphalt is being discarded in\nEngland, after a test extending over\nat least 30 years. The reason of its\ngrowing unpopularity is its extreme\nslipperiness, and the heavy cost of\nrepairs. On the former point, anyone Avho has been in London in rainy\nor frosty Avcather knoAvs that asphalt\nis just about as slippery as ice. It\nis a torture to the poor horses, even\nto walk, and trotting is out of the\nquestion, when once the asphalt becomes glazed. There have been\ncomplaints in Victoria about the\nslipperiness of the Avood-block pavement under similar circumstances;\nbut I can assure my readers that that\nis not a \"circumstance.\" It is next\nto impossible, for a team of horses\nto haul a heavy load on an up-grade,\nand I am waiting to see Avhat will\nhappen as soon as the dry weather\ngives out and householders order coal\nand Avood to be delivered on some of\nthe grades. I am satisfied that the\nresult Avill vindicate all I have said,\nand Avill check the anxiety for asphalt\npavement. I venture to think that\nthere is a good opening for some\nother hard pavement companies to\nget their \"oar\" in and give us a sample that can be compared Avith asphalt. At any rate, there is no need\nto rush the thing, for this is preeminently an instance in which it\nAvould pay to \"go fast sloAvly.\"\n* * *\nWhilst on the subject of streets, I\nwould respectfully remind the City\nEngineer that it is not customary in\nEngland, or in Eastern Canadian cities, to tear up all the crossings on a\nmain street at the same time. Such\nan arrangement disloctes traffic to\nan alarming extent, and not only\ncreates inconvenience, but increases\nthe liability to accident. It is possible at all crossings to maintain a\njiarrow roadAvay, whilst streets are\nbeing made, and in any eA'ent quite\nunnecessary to fence off three or four\nconsecutive intersections at the same\ntime. During the last few months I\nhave seen many drivers take their\nteams doAvn Douglas street from\nFort only to find that they were\nblocked on reaching Humboldt. Retracing their steps, they found they\ncould not get out of Douglas at any\nof the streets on the East side. This\nAvas particularly inconvenient when\nBroughton street was fenced off.\nTeam after team Avould drive out of\nthe Transfer yard only to bc turned\nback at the barrier. I knoAV that the\npublic must suffer some inconvenience\nwhen new streets are in making, but\na little forethought, and a little dash\nof consecrated commonsense, would\nobviate a good deal of it.\n* * *\nI want to congratulate thc management of thc Empress Hotel on having finally decided to furnish a 25-\ncent tea for 25 cents. Considering that\nthe palm-room of the Empress is the\npopular afternoon rendezvous of the\ncity, and that everybody Avho is anybody patronizes it, I must say that\nthe catering until quite recently left\nmuch to be desired. The charge may\nbc small, but at thc Clay tea-rooms\none can ahvays get a pot of good\nhot tea and toasted buns for 20\ncents, and the buns Avould bc fresh.\nThe Empress has been in the habit\nof giving Avcak tea and poorly-buttered toast for 25 cents. But all that\nis changed, and I only hope that the\nneAV standard will be maintained. It\nis the little things that tell, especially\nin hotel management,\nI wonder Avhether it is any use complaining again about the dense volumes of smoke Avhich pour from the\nfunnels of the steamers in the inner\nharbour. I noticed last evening one\nof the three-funnel boats getting up\nsteam, and a thick, black stream Avas\nrising from each funnel, and flooding\nthe district Avith soot. I have received a similar complaint about the\nstack at the Empress Hotel, and the\nB. C. Electric poAver plant near Sayward's mill. I have personally noticed a very smoky chimney at Spencer's store, and another at the Driard.\nIndeed, I feel some delicacy in mentioning any particular place because\nthere seems to be no attempt any-\nAvhcre in the city to minimize the\nnuisance. It can be reduced by careful stoking, as I have frequently had\noccasion to point out; but in A'ieAV of\nthe fact that the American Smelting\nand Refining Co. is offering the munificent sum of one million dollars for\na perfect smoke-consumer, it does not\nlook as if the end is yet. Mean-\nAvhile, all good citizens should try to\nmake life as bearable as possible for\ntheir neighbors by doing as they\nwould be done by, and this applies\nespecially to those who have control\nof smokestacks, Avhether on steamboats or in factories.\n* * *\nI notice that the Roman Catholic\nchurch is making a determined stand\nagainst the \"hobble skirt.\" I also find\nthat after a very bri'ef career this\nsartorial atrocity is becoming unpopular in Paris. The Roman Catholic\nchurch is forbidding the wearing of\nthis particular skirt, because it distracts the attention of worshippers;\nthe Parisian ladies are discarding it\nbecause there have been so many accidents from tripping, although I\nhave a shreAvd suspicion that their action is influenced more by the fact\nthat by the broadest stretch of the\nimagination it cannot be regarded as\na thing of beauty. It is barely tolerable on fashion plates, but as worn\nby a tall, slender lady whom I saw\npainfully making her way to the Empress Hotel last Monday I think it\nmay fairly be described as an atrocity.\nI studied it for some minutes, for her\nspeed AvOuld be about a quarter of a\nmile an hour, and failed to discover\na single point in its favor. It is well\nnamed for it as effectually hobbles the\nlimbs as ir a band Avere placed around\nthe ankles. It may have something\nto recommend it from the standpoint\nof utility, but certainly nothing from\nthe standpoint of beauty.\n* * *\nI have heard many complaints\nabout the management of the Grand\nTrunk Pacific boats, and as they all\ncoincide there must be something in\nthem. I am told that the crews, are\nunder no control; that they frequently imbibe too freely; that it is no uncommon thing for passengers on taking possession of their staterooms to\nfind that the linen has not been changed. Night is made hideous by shouting and other disturbances which prevent peaceable people from sleeping,\nand altogether there is an absence of\ndiscipline strangely at variance with\nAvhat one has become accustomed to\non the C. P. R. boats. A few Aveeks\nago seventeen members of the crew\nof the Prince Rupert Avere taken ill.\nSome of them had to go to the hospital in Seattle; the others Avere attended to by a doctor on board. I\nunderstand that the cause of it Avas\nthat thc creAv raided thc larder, and\noverindulged in ice-cream, which Avas\nslightly off colour. Be that as it\nmay, the complaints are so numerous\nthat I am satisfied they cannot be altogether groundless.\nI must again call the attention of\nthe police authorities to the fact that\ndrivers are not complying vvith the\nrequirements of the \"rule of thc road,\"\nand this is especially true of freight\nteams. These drivers pursue a course\nwhich is distinctly dangerous to the\nman in charge of a buggy or a rig\nof any kind. They persistently travel\non the wrong side of the street, or\ndown thc centre, and not infrequently\ntake a zig-zag or a long diagonal\ncourse. I wish I could persuade thc\nproper authorities to give a Avord of\nwarning, I Avas greatly incensed one\nday this Aveek by a Chinaman who Avas\nVAPOR\nCABINET\nBATHS\nCURE\nRHEUMATISM\nThey open the 5,000,000 little\npores in the body and draw\nfrom them all impurities, filth\ngerms and poisonous matter accumulated in the system.

Miss Fowler\nis a pianologue artiste and her work\nis distinctive for its daintiness and refinement. Her songs and musical selections are refreshing in their sweetness and charm and whether as a\nsinger or at the piano, Miss Fowler\nis superb.\nThese acts with the song and pictures comprise the Grand Theatre\nbill for next week.\nNew Grand Theatre\n\"Woman's Rights\" and \"Woman\nsuffrage\" is the gist of the farcical\nsketch which will be presented at the\njrand by Franklyn Ardell & Co., and\n1 more timely subject could hardly be\n:hosen. In this era of political con-\n:roversy, the woman suffrage has be-\n:ome an important item. Thc char-\nicters of the farce are, a suffragette\niandidate for mayor, and a Republican\ncandidate. The Suffragette party in\nIs campaign for the mayoralty out-\nines its plan of improvements which\npartly consists of women police, a\nwoman fire department, in fact every\ncity position to be held down by a\nwoman. The dialogue is extremely\nlaughable and cleverly presented by\nMr. Ardell ancl his company.\nA rural oddity interspersed with\nsongs ancl dances is \"A Poseyville\nFlirtation\" which is presented by\nPowers & Wilson. Mr. Powers is\nseen in the role of a country lad and\nMiss Wilson as a sprightly lass.\nThere is an uproar of laughter from\nthe moment those clever farcists step\nDn the stage until the finish of their\nDffering. Their songs and dances are\n.lever and original.\nIn the equilibristic line Alex. Bris-\n;on stands supreme.

C.\nW. BLAKEMORE, Editor\nNation^ Building\nBY BOHEMIAN\nWhat goes to the building of a\nhouse? Something more than bricks\nand mortar, for it lives lirst in the\ncunning brain of the designer, and\nevery attractive home has passed\nthrough the stage when it was a\ncastle in the air.\nThe first step is the conception, and\neven this does not consist of a single\nidea, although, perhaps, of a general\nscheme with endless embellishments.\nI think that Nation-building is just\nlike house-building; and I am sure,\nto be any good, it is like home-building.\nWe have been told in this Dominion, by many men\u00E2\u0080\u0094some of them\nbig\u00E2\u0080\u0094that \"Canada is a nation in the\nbuilding.\" Kipling was perhaps the\nfirst to sound thc note in the address\nhe delivered at Winnipeg three years\nago, when he coined his picturesque\nphrase, \"Pump in the whites.\" In a\nfew bold strokes he shewed that the\nchrysalis stage had been passed; that\nthc narrow ideas of Colonial days\nhad developed into breadth and vigor; that the trappings of ) outh had\nbeen Hung aside, and the ne*.,- nation\nwas putting on the strength of Manhood. Hc might well have paraphrased the situation in the well-\nknown lines: \"When I was a child, 1\nthought as a child, I spake as a child;\nbut now tliat I am a man, I must put\naway childish things.\" Is Canada\nputting away childi.-h things? Has she\nawakened to a sense of her possibilities? 's she heading for a future of\ndignity and strength? These are apposite Questions, and are questions\nthai are occupying thc thoughts of a\nfew of our best men.\n\"A -.nun's riches consist not in the\nabund ce of the things he possesses.\" If unparalleled natural resources\nand fabulous material wealth constituted greatness, no fabled empire of\nyore could compete with this new\nDominion of ours. Thc mere scratching of its surface has made Canada in\nits embryo days one of the richest\ncountries in thc world; and in this\nmost-favened Province of the Dominion it has enabled a mere handful ol\nwhite people to develop a country,\nlarger than most of the European\nnationalities and to bear, without\nrealizing it, thc heaviest \"per capita\"\ntaxation in the world. Today, Victoria is the Mecca of London capitalists. Lombard street is literally\npouring its millions into British Columbia, and it is not merely railways,\nsteamships, and power plants that!\nare being developed, but a thousand\nand one industrial enterprises that\nhave hardly made their beginning,\nfelt, but which, as this vast territory\nsettles up, will play a prominent part-\nin its development.\nThere can be no question that from\na material standpoint Canada possesses all thc elements of greatness.\nBut it is not to sound a pessimistic\nnote to ask further if materialism is\nengrossing thc attention of our people, and whether, in their hurry to\nget rich, they arc neglecting, not only\nthe duties of home-life, but of citizenship. It is not that they arc aban\ndoning Anglo-Saxon ideals, for these\nare as powerful and as widely recognized as ever among a people wine\nglory to belong to that race, lt is\nthat business crowds out culture,\nstudy, and intellectual recreation. Th'\nresult of this is that thc best equipped men do not find their way into\nthe public service. They arc tied\ndown to their offices and counting\nhouses.\nGenerally speaking, it is the man\nof mediocre mental attainments, with\nmore than his share of aggressiveness and ambition who forges his\nway to the front and gradually as\nsumes control of the various forms\nof government. Take any public\nassembly in the Dominion. While,\nof course, it will bc found to contain\nsome distinguished men, the rank ami\nfile shew little culture and little care\nfor other than mere temporary advantages. How many of our legislators\nhave studied the history of England\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094to say nothing of that of the other\ngreat nations with which we maintain\ndiplomatic relations? Hoy many know\nanything of economics? And yet, the\ntariff is always the chief issue in\nCanadian and American elections.\nHow many members at Ottawa\nwill approach a discussion as to reciprocity with thc United States with\nany practical acquaintance with thc\nsubject, and any ability to shew how\ndifferent methods of taxation have influenced revenue? There are probably\nnot a dozen men at Ottawa who could\nbegin to discuss the first principles of\ntaxation. They know what pro it\nswells thc pockets of the manufacturer, and some of them know what\nincreases the cost of living, but veiy\nfew of them know how or why; and\nLICENSE TO AN EXTRA-PROVINCIAL COMPANY\nCompanies Act\nJuly lst, 11110\nMiss Ellice Ward\nAt the Lyceum Theatre.\nyet, at the present stage, this is one\nof the most crying questions.\nThere is, however, more than a little cause for gratification at thc widespread interest Canada takes in education. The system mag?; be defective,\nas I have often maintained. It is lacking in thoroughness and practicality,\nbut it takes cognizance of thc fact\nthat the children are the greatest asset of the country, and that they\nshould enjoy every privilege that\ncan bc placed within their grasp.\nWhen all is said and done, while we\nmay havc to plead guilty to the\ncharge of being too much engrossed\nwith mere money-making, the fact remains that in no country in the world\nis thc importance of childhood so accentuated, nor arc such efforts being\nmade to ensure the building oi a nation in which the finest fabrics will\nplay the most important part.\nBOHEMIAN.\nIN 'I'HE SUPREME COURT OF\nItHITISII COLUMBIA\nEntered Vol. 27, Pol. 248, Dated in-o-10.\nBy I).

From\n;he famous Okanagan valley there\nias been sent some fruit, the equal\n3. which is hard to find anywhere,\nand from the valley of the North\n{Thompson river, in the vicinity of\nkamloops, there havc been sent some\nexcellent samples of the enormous\napples which are produced there. In\naddition to thc fruit, there are some\nexcellent samples of the tremendous\ntrees which mature on the coast and\non Vancouver Island, as well as several excellent photographs of different sections of the province.\nThe display is made by the department Of agriculture, and is in charge\nof Edward Bullock-Webster, of Penticton, who is the exhibition commis-1\nsioner of the province. An artistic)\nbooth has been built of British Columbia cedar, and, as Mr. Webster'\nsaid, the province had to do something better than the ordinary in the\nway of exhibits, in deference to the {\nsize ancl scale of the exhibition. I\nExcellent Fruit\nThe display of fruit, which is kept\nin excellent condition by means of\nelectric fans, is considered to be the\nfinest ever sent from British Colum-'\nbia, both in quality and condition,\npacking, etc. Among the small fruits\nare shown the luscious peaches from\nthe Chilliwack valley and Peachland,\napples, plums, pears, cherries, prunes,'\napricots, ancl, in fact, every variety\nIof small fruit grown in thc province.\nAmong the varieties are the Bartlett\nand Bossack pears, Bradshow plums,\nIrtalian prunes, Wealthy, Gravenstcin,\nWolfe River, Duchess and Thistle-'\nwheat apples, Crawford peaches andl\nAssembly Roller Skating Rink\nFORT STREET\nNOW OPEN\nRegular Sessions\n10. a.m. to 12. a.m. 2.00 p.m. to 4.30 p.m. 7.30 p.m. to 10.30 p.m.\nWednesday and Saturday Special Sessions\u00E2\u0080\u00944.30 to 6.30\nTranscendent grapes. The grapes* are\nespecially appetizing, and resemble\nthe large California grapes more than\nany other. Some of the finest grapes\nare grown in the Salmon Arm district.\nNicely Packed\nFruit growers in British Columbia\nmake a specialty and are especially\nproud of the manner in which their\nfruit is packed. Each grower tries\nto pack his fruit so that it will reach\nall markets in Ai condition, and the\ngreatest care is exercised. The packed\nfruit shown has not been chosen especially, but is the regular commercial pack of this year. The apples\nweigh 40 pounds to thc box, while thc\nplums weigh 20.\nCrawford peaches, six inches in diameter would open the eyes of many\nfruit growers, but among the preserved fruit shown are several peaches\nof that size. Fine specimens of small\nfruit in clusters arc preserved in alcohol.\nA carload of British Columbia timber also is shown in thc exhibit.\nNot much timber is needed there to\nmake a carload, and in this case it!\ntook only eight pieces. A cut taken\nfrom a large Douglas fir tree is 74\ninches in diameter.

There is much business\nand detail to discuss, not forgetting\nthe Regatta of 1911\nresidences. Aside from this the In*\ntcrnalional Coal Co. havc installed an\nenlarged Avater system while the McGillivray Creek Coal Co. have spent\na quarter of a million on an up-to-\ndate modern plant.\nThe one outstanding fact at the\nbase of this tremendous growth, is\nthe deep confidence that the citizens\nof Coleman havc in their mines. The\noutput of these mines is hoav 35000\ndaily. For this output there is a constant demand. Simultaneous with the\nupbuilding of the mines is the upbuilding of the tOAvn.\nWhile the present conditions amply\nwarrant the establishing of industries\nthe future holds out to the investor\ngreat returns and possibilities.

Whatever\nMr. Moore's qualifications may be I\ndon't know, but he has proved himself lacking in gentlemanly and professional courtesy and such is the\nman to whom our astute Mayor gives\ncredence. When Mr. Morley was\nMayor a few years ago he floundered\nin a sea of incapacity and nothing\nwas done.\nIt is to be hoped the gentlemen\ncitizens who gave their free services\nrecently on the water question will\ngive the Mayor their opinions in unmistakable words. If he stands to\nblock the City water supply, the citizens who unfortunately placed him\nwhere he is should demand his retirement forthwith\u00E2\u0080\u0094like the \"barren fig-\ntree\" cut him down, he bears no fruit.\nOne word more about Mr. Moore,\nwho in support of his opinion, showed\nhis bad taste and weakness by making personal insinuations of personal\ninterests. All are interested in the\nwater question, but if Mr. Moore\nknows of any persons who advocate\nthe purchase of Goldstream for personal gain, he should be manly\nenough ot name them.
