No. 28 Explains Victoria's Case In an Open Letter The following "Open Letter" has been addressed to the Editor of the Pioneer News:. My dear Mr. Burde: I cannot tell you how sorry I am to see an editorial in a recent issue of your paper headed "Time to balk Victoria's game." As the father of the resolution submitted to the City council, it is up to me to make you thoroughly acquainted with all the facts in connection with the formation of the committee appointed for the purpose of securing the bridging of Seymour Narrows, and I think, incidentally, to draw your attention to a few other facts which will conclusively prove that Victoria is doing more for the development of all parts of Vancouver Island than any other city or community on the Island. Now, as to the facts in connection with the appointment of this committee: You must admit that Victoria is the largest city on the Island. It-is therefore her prerogative to take the lead in any important matter for the benefit of the Island as a whole. The resolution.— 'which you quote correctly,—which I submitted to the City Council to appoint this committee with myself as chairman, was one involving the expenditure of money for any expenses which it might be necessary for the committee to incur. The resolution therefore could only be couched in such language as would show that this expenditure was necessary in the interest of the City of Victoria. Therefore, it was absolutely necessary that in that resolution we should show that Victoria was suffering through the absence of rail connection with the Mainland. But surely that does not mean that other cities and other ports on Vancou- Island are not suffering from the same cause. It does not mean that the city of Victoria is antagonistic in the slightest degree to any other port, or city, or district or locality on the Island. It simply means that we, as one community, are suffering with all other from this lack of communication, and that the City Council would be justified in making that expenditure and in appointing that committee in theinterests of Victoria itself. As an evidence of my own absolute sincerity and that of the committee which was appointed, I wish to draw your very particular attention to the resolution which was passed at the first committee meeting, and to the remarks which I made in opening that meeting, to show that from the moment this committee met, this question ceased to be a parochial one; and that of the committee upon which you have been placed. I notice in your editorial that there are references to the Victoria Colonist. I have nothing whatever to do with the relations which one paper bears to Ten Miles for a Cent From one-tenth to one-fifth cents pel mile covers the cost of operating a HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE The SllontCroy Follow This machine is always ready for a hurry-up trip or a pleasure run. Will do the road work of 3 horses. No expense when idle. We would like to tell you more about the greatest sport in the world. Come in and see us, Thomas Plimley, 730 Yate» St., Victoria. it was being urged upon the governments not in the name of the City of Victoria alone, nor of that city in comparison with any other port, but that the whole thing had resolved itself into a Vancouver Island movement wholly for the benefit of all parts of the Island. The position I took at that meeting— and I have always taken it—was this: that a bridge of this character would be of equal benefit to every single locality on the Island, and that it is then up to each district and each city and each port to bring its own particular claims for any improvements it wants to the attention of either government; but that it does not come within the province of any locality to try and knock another, or to try and build up one city by pulling another down. " You refer to the improvements which are sought for the harbor of Victoria. If the trade and commerce of this port have increased to such an extent that the harbor facilities are totally inadequate, and it is absolutely necessary that large improvements should be made, is that any sound reason why the people of Alberni should not seek any important improvements which are necessary to her harbor, or any indication that this city is endeavoring to block the efforts of the people of Alberni, or io draw from her, or any other port, any of the trade or commerce to which she is entitled? The people of this city naturally look after their own affairs, but that is no reason why the people of Alberni should not look after theirs, or any reason why anything we do to~ improve the conditions here should be antagonistic to the Port of Alberni. For God's sake, let us get away from this jealousy of localities and cities, and work together for the general benefit of the Island, and each city work for its own improvements and its own needs apart from what is wanted and desired by any other. And now for the second point which I raised, namely that Victoria is doing more for the general benefit of the Island than any other place : I am not, nor have I ever been a member of the Vancouver Island Development League, or associated with it in any way, but is it not a fact that the League was organized in this city, its representatives were gathered together from all parts of the Island and are working harmoniously for her general benefit, irrespective of where the trade and commerce of each district may go—to Vancouver, Nanaimo or Victoria,—and is it not a fact that almost all the money which has been raised or provided for the purposes of the League has come from the city of of Victoria ? I do not know of a single instance where the people of Victoria have " balked the game " of Alberni or the Alberni district. As you personally know, I have done all I possibly could for the Port of Alberni, and spent the first money which was spent to well advertise Alberni and Alberni district, and when you come out with an editorial headed as you headed this, I consider from my long personal friendship with you,,that it is altogether unworthy of you. I thought, and I still believe that you are too big for this sort of thing, and that at any rate, the Port of Alberni ought to be too big for it. I trust and appeal to you in the general interest of the Island and in the interests of peace and harmony among all the sections of the Island, to remove the injustice which you have done the city of Victoria, and incidentally myself, as the father of the resolution in the City Council, in that editorial, and I ask you, not only on the ground of the friendship which has always existed between us, to work with us in the objects which we seek to attain, and to be an active member another, but I do ask that even these shall not be detrimental to the mutual interest of the two communities in which the papers happen to be published. I shall look forward to your next issue (in which I hope you will insert this letter) with much interest, believing that you will recognise the friendly spirit in which I have taken occasion to refer to your editorial, and that in the same spirit you will reverse your former judgment of our actions here, and join with us in this most essential and by a long way tho most important movement which has ever been «'»aug- urated for the general ben****1 and prosperity of Vancouver Island and every locality and city on the Island. Yours faithfully, HERBERT CUTHBERT. Alderman, ^ward four, city of Victoria, chairman of the special committee on bridging Seymour Narrows. EDITOR'S COMMENT. Life Crew Swamped; One Man Drowned While returning from drill exercise at noon yesterday the life savers of the Ucluelet station were swamped, resulting in the drowning of Thoralf Wingen and injuries of others of the crew. Capt. Thompson made an heroic effort to rescue the drowning man and failed only because he succumed to exhaustion and had to be assisted to safety. The injuries to the other men were caused by being dashed by the breakers against the rocky shore. The accident •"-•curred on the west coast of -"arday sound to the southwest 0f jjouble Island. Building Activity and Real Estate There is not much in Mr. Cuthbert's letter to excite a quarrel, and his advice is accepted in the same good spirit in which it is given. The subject dealt with by the editor of this paper was a letter and copy of resolution addressed to him by the clerk of the council of the municipality of Victoria, and, as Mr. Cuthbert says, it was quoted correctly. That corres- pondenoe specialized Victoria. It may have been necessary for the municipal committee to p., word its resolution in order to find excuse for voting money to be spent in the campaign, but as the overtures came from this committee, whose duty it was to feature their own city to the exclusion of other places, the rebuke will have to stand as delivered. It is here taken for granted that Mr. Cuthbert realizes that an argument over who pays the bills might develop some undignified exchanges of compliments, and this aspect of the question will be overlooked without further notice. The proposition of the railway terminus, as advocated by the municipal committee, and the national port, have been made inseparable. Otherwise the only aim of the editor of the Pioneer News in mentioning the latter would be to arouse the people of this part of the Island to get busy on their own account and independent of Victoria. The people of all parts of the Island will be well advised to work harmoniously together in a campaign for the bridging of Seymour Narrows and no one will be better pleased than the editor of this paper to be relieved of the suspicion that Victoria's motive in seeking the co-operation of other parts is entirely selfish and designed to mislead the powers-that-be into a belief that the whole island is tributary to and dependent on the Capital City. Demand for Port Alberni townsite property continues active, but little or inside business lots are changing hands because of the fact that the owners are holding tight for the present. During tne past week over eighty lots were disposed of by the Land company, mainly to non-residents. There was a preference shown in favor of the Marpole hill locality. Property to the north of Dry creek is also in strong favor with investors. White Man's Country and Better Terms Piles are being delivered by S. G. Roseborough 5or a wharf to be built by Johe Kendall who has secured a portion of G. H. Bird's foreshore property near the foot of Argyle street. Mr. Kendall has made arrangements to go into the fishing business. A residence for E. B. Garrard is being built at the corner of Sixth avenue and South Park drive. Three lots at Sixth avenue and Strathern street have been cleared for A. T. Trenouth who will have three houses built thereon. A house is being built for Fred Rollin on Fifth avenue, south of Argyle street Ground has been cleared and graded for the building of a residenoe for Walter Harris on Fifth avenue. Work has commenced on a new building for James Paul who intends to open a pool room. The site is on the east side of Second avenue, opposite the Bird block. Premier McBride reached another stage of triumph in his public career on Monday when he presented to the legislature correspondence with the government at Ottawa showing that he had at last won an assurance of victory on the Better Terms question, and was also in a fair way to succeed in his efforts to make British Columbia a white man's country. Most important among the correspondence presented was a telegram from Hon. R. L. Borden, dated Ottawa Jan. 25, which read as follows : "Respecting the claim of British Columbia for exceptional treatment by reason of permanent physical conditions and otherwise. ... we are prepared to appoint a commission to investigate the merits of claim made by your province in this regard; one commissioner to be named by this government, one by your government, and the third to be selected by agreement of the two commissioners, or failing such agreement, by the secretary of state for the colonies. " Respecting Asiatic immigration : This question is to be taken up as soon as possible in connection with the new treaty with Japan, to which Canada has not yet acceded. The interests of Canada in respect of immigration will be safeguarded and your government will be consulted with regard to considerations specially affecting British Columbia." Billiard Tournament Finals The semi-final draw in Class A of Harry's Pool room tournament is as follows: A. G. Freeze vs. G. A. Spencer. Fred Saunders, bye. Class B, second round, will be drawn this evening. Voice From Prairies. Editor Pioneer News: Sir:—My opinion of incorporation: L'Union fait la force. And instead of this the two Albernis are squabbling to their detriment. Consequently they are giving the outsider a poor opinion of the nicest and best located town in British Columbia. Wishing united Alberni all the success it is entitled to. I remain, true to Alberni. N. H. Schwarz. Jasmin, Sask., Feb. 5th, 1912.

(From the Victoria Colonist) It would be amusing to read a statement in a contemporary to the effect that Victoria is jealous of Port Alberui, if it were not that the publication of such an absurdity is likely to create ill-feeling in the minds of some people, who, for lack of information, may be led to believe it. There are some very foolish persons who think they can magnify their own importance by alleging that they arc the mark of the envy of others, and newspapers are a good deal like people in this rest**.,.*-,. Neither Victoria nor the Colonist has the slightest jealousy of Port Alberni •**, anv p]ace e]se, g0 far as the Colonist is concerned, it has done more to make the ac.rantages 0f Barclay Sound, Port Alberni and the surrounding country known than all vf ner agencies combined, and nothing that anyone can say will prevent it from continu-*..Q. that COurse. If we were to make any criticism of the manner in whicW some of the gwi people of Port Alberni deal with matters pertaining to their welfare, we would say u,q(; they look too far afield for sources of prosperity. They -have persuaded themselvt„ -nto the belief that the commerce of the Pacific is going to find its way to the heao. »* the Canal, and, in contemplation of the great results anticipated from this cause, they forget the enormous advantages to be derived from the resources lying at their own dooryard, so to speak. The commercial g/eatness of Port Alberni may be problematical. There certainly will be competitors with it for whatever may be developed on the Pacific; but there can be no serious competitor for the great benefits to be derived from the opening of the splendid country of which it is the natural centre. The results that will flow from such development will be sufficient to satisfy the most optimistic resident of the westernmost C. P. R. terminus.

Naylor for Barclay sound to arrange to work a copper mine.—Victoria Colonist, Feb, 14, 1862. It is for the editor of the Pionees News in particular and the people of this district in general to understand what the editorial ostrich of the Colonist is driving at. Other readers of the Colonist, except the few who also read the Pioneer News, are left to guess the cause of this patronizing, old-womanish advice. It is an editorial with the subject matter missing, just a hidden slap at someone for the writer's own satisfaction, something one often meets with in the Colonist. Some comment in the Pioneer News of Jan. 27 on the Colonist's reference to Alberni canal as a "dangerous" waterway, and further comment in the Pioneer News of Feb. 3 on the Colonist's advocacy of a transcontinental railway terminus at Victoria, may be accepted as the excuse for this semi-private lecture. It is inferred that the Port Alberni newspaper accused Victoria of being jealous of this port, an inference which is unwarranted and misleading. Victoria has been blamed in these columns for being self-centered or self- satisfied which is an antithesis of jealousy. As far as the editorial writer in question is individually concerned his motive may be jealousy, but it looks more like superficial conceit. Provoked by the Pioneer News which called for either pointed reply or explanatory apology, he assumed false premises, went astray of the truth and indulged in such insolence as is common with a would-be-dictator who is compelled most of his time to play the sycophant. The question of the fairness or propriety of the Colonist declaring on the strength of the opinion of one of the least competent of witnesses at the enquiry into the stranding of the Queen City, that "Alberni Canal Offers Dangers to Shipping." which was all to the point, was ignored. It is possible that exception may be taken to the nature, thus far, of this reply on the ground that criticism should be confined to the Colonist newspaper, and not touch the writer of the editorial who is supposed to be a personal nonentity in the controversy. If so, the plea of justification is that the Colonist article is not in line with intelligent, decent or dignified journalism, but is so impregnated with its author's obnoxious personality that personal retort cannot easily be avoided. The statement that the Colonist "has done more to make the advantages of Barclay Sound, Port Alberni, and the surrounding country, known than all other agencies combined," is the limit in arrogance. Had the statement been that the Colonist has done more than its share in attempting to defame the great waterway from the Pacific to Port Alberni and to obscure the most important advantages and resources of this town and district the plain truth would have therein been told. The Colonist has often told its readers that this is a great country for sportsmen and sight seeing tourists, but has told it in a way calculated to make the reader lose sight of the more material attractions of the^district. As far as making the name of Port Alberni known, and interesting people in its future, are concerned, the fake advertising of L. W. Bick alone had more effect than the Colonist. v The agencies through which this town and district have become well advertised are the Provincial Bureau of Information, the Canadian Pacific Railway company, the Board of Trade, Leonard Frank the wide-famed photographer, and the Pioneer News. That advice about the people of Port Alberni looking too far afield for sources of prosperity instead of paying attention to the enormous advantages to be derived from the resources lying at their own doorway, might better have been given to the people of Victoria who have in their city and its environs admittedly the best tourist attractions in the Canadian west. People will go out.of their way to find a playground, but transportation companies that are ever seeking the shortest distance and the line of least resistance for commerce will not do this if they can resist such political graft as Victoria is trying to work. In the report of the Home Missions committee of the Presbytery in session at Victoria this week it was mentioned that new fields are being opened on Alberni canal and at Quatsino. In reply to a delegation from the Local Option league of British Columbia, which waited on the government on Tuesday, Premier McBrice said the government would not bring in any Local Option legislation this session. Port Alberni, B. C. Opposite E. & N. Station Have Your Town Lots Cleared Now The action of the government at Ottawa in rescinding the order prohibiting the exportation of salmon has aroused strenuous opposition from the owners of canneries. It was claimed by fishermen that the prohibitive order placed them at the mercy of the cannerymen who would not always take the catches offered, the fish many times having to be thrown away when they might be sold to American canneries. It was in justice to the fisherman that the order was rescinded. The Grand Council of the Royal Tern plars of Temperance which met in Vic toria on Tuesday resolved that this was the critical time in the development of the moral tone of British Columbia. The-Templars are consequently arranging for a series of public meetings to be held under the auspices of the various centers interested for the purpose of obtaining pledgers to the cause; and also for the appointment of a strong committee whose duty would be to institute a house-to-house system of calling for the purpose of rustling in pledge signers.

' Mr. Bowser said that it had been represented to him that an interdicted person who took liquor should be punished for it. He took the view that the craving for strong drink was a disease, and the person to be punished was not the interdict, but the person who supplied him with liquor, or the landlord who allowed him to loaf around his bar. Not only is a sale to an interdict, as the law already provides, a serious offence, but it is further forbidden by a new section (103) for an interdict to be permitted to frequent or loiter in "any room or place in the licensed premises in which there is a bar or in which liquor is kept for sale," the penalty provided for infraction of this prohibitory sectioli being $20 fine or thirty days' imprisonment, which at the magisterial discretion may include hard labor. Any constable or peace officer may arrest, without information or warrant, any interdicted person whom he finds in a state of intoxication or under the influence of liquor or with liquor in his possession, and may detain him until he can be brought before the nearest police or any stipendiary magistrate or justice of the peace having jurisdiction in the locality in which the arrest is made, who is hereby authorized and required to proceed summarily and examine, without any unnecessary delay, such interdicted person, upon oath, as to the person from whom, where and when such liquor was procured; and if such interdicted person refused to disclose from whom, where and when he procured such liquor, he is liable upon summary conviction to a penalty of $20 and, in default of payment, to imprisonment, with or without hard labour, for a term of thirty days, or to both penalty and imprisonment, in the discretion of the convicting magistrate. No licensee, having a wholesale license for the sale of liquor from the licensing authority of any municipality shall sell liquor, either himself or by an agent, or allow liquor in Iiis possession or under his control to be sold outside the municipality in which he is so licensed, without having had first granted to him a wholesale license under the provisions of the Provincial Act. To cover the case of the "blind pig- ger" it is to be enacted that: "Any person selling, vending, bartering or otherwise disposing of liquor in contravention of section 66 of this act, and any person keeping or having any liquor for the purpose of selling, trafficking or trading therein or bartering therewith in contravention of section 67 of this act, shall, upon summary conviction for a first offence, be liable to a penalty of not less than $100 nor more than $300, and in default of payment to imprisonment with hard labor for not less than six months nor more than twelve months, and upon summary conviction for a second or subsequent offence, such person shall be liable to imprisonment with hard labor for not less than twelve months nor more than twenty-one months." Another feature of the act affording in its original form a loophole for the commission of serious abuses in the sale of intoxicants to minors is clarified and strengthened by an amendment broadly prohibiting a licensee from "giving, delivering or furnishing" intoxicants to minors "for any purpose or upon any pretext whatever." regard to enforcement of the Liquor Act. From this report it is' seen that the total number of provincially issued* liquor licenses of all classes was at the beginning of the current year 343, an increase of but eleven over 1910—in no way. proportionate to the growth of population in the unorganized districts within the period. The actual total of licenses is, indeed, reduced, for during 1911 ten licenses were cancelled or renewal applications were refused, and five other licenses lapsed. The number of licenses thus extinguished in 1911 was 46. The license roll for 1911 shows 278 hotel licenses, as compared with 273 in 1910; six wholesale licenses, an unchanged total; eight brewers' licenses, an increase of one; 33 steamer licenses, an advance of three; and 18 railway licenses, an increase of two. Long established houses have been granted renewals for three months only, this period expiring on the 31st proximo, unless accomodations are brought fully up to legal standard by that date. During 1911, 50 applications in all for hotel licenses were considered and dealt with, but 16 of these being granted and 24 refused, while action was deferred in nine cases, and one of the applications suddenly withdrawn. Refusals were ordered at Queen Charlotte, Discovery Road, Wardner, Westbridge, Sheep Creek, Bitter Creek (Stewart), South Port George, Westbank, Bitter Creek Townsite (Stewart), 23 miles south of Hope, Soda Creek, Cariboo Road, Carmi, Kitsumkalum, Steamboat, Bulkeley Valley, Breckendale, Hope, Savona, Sooke, Goose Bay (Observatory Inlet), Aldermere Road, Glentanna and Salmon River. The existing licenses cancelled during the year or of which renewals were refused, included those for the Clinton and Dominion Hotels at Clinton, the latter in connection with a case of inhumanity, with the details of which the public is familiar. In two other cases cancellations were decided upon because of the markedly intemperate habits of the licensees. The list of cancellations, in addition to the Clinton hotels, covers the Ashnola Hotel, Ash- nola, Victoria Hotel, Sih/erton (destroyed by fire); Squamish Hotel, Squamish; Newmarket Hotel, New Denver; Moodyville Hotel. Port Moody; Allison Hotel, Allison; Park Hotel, nearHedley; and San Juan Hotel, Port Renfrew. Special Clearance Sale of Buggies FOR REST OF THIS MONTH To make room for new stock.
