It~- The Victoria Times has tlio following fair remarks about this city, which we take pleasure in quoting: "The people of New Wratniinet ;r seem determined not to let the grass grow under their feet. The strides made by the ambitious oity on the banks of the Fraser during the past year or two have been remarkable, and there is every prospect of the time coming thut is to witness still greater advancement. During the past year (he navigation of theriver by deep sea-going craft has been solved, and a raiway scheme undertaken that when carried out must bring considerable prosperity to the oity. It is true the people will havo tq pay pretty lively for their whistle, and those are not wanting who see the Royal Oity struggling along under a load too heavy for her to carry live years hence. Yet there is no certainty that these are nOt false prophets. The money is to be spent in improvements and substantial things of tbat kind once made cannot lie removed at the caprice or whim of anyone. Once they arc there all there remains to be done is to bring in the population and equalize the burden of the expense consequent upon them, for after all it must not be forgotten that values depend altogher upon population. If Kew Westminster can double her population in a few years by the proposed investment it will have paid her citizens handsomely. There is every prospect that .he will do so. The energetic actions of the people have thus far created a new sentiment in favor of tbe city ami inspire! the outside world with Confidence in her future, A representative of the News- Advertiser interviewed Mr. V. Martinson, of New York, a 0. P. E. railway director, ut Vancouver tho other day. Among other things Mr. Martinson told the News man the following, which wo reproduce as confirming what we have, in effect, pointed out several times in this paper: "There was one thing, however, which tho government of British Columbia should do,and that was to spend more money in advertising the province to the world. If $100,000 was spent ill that direction it would do a great deal towards making known to foreigners its resources, its favorable geographical situation for commerce and ita mild climate, M 'Nobody knows anything of it,' Mr. Martin sen said. 'Speak of British Oolumbia outside of Oanada, and they will ask you where it is.' He was very emphatio on that point, and repeated it several times in the course of his conversation, each time with more emphasis. British Columbia hud a climate very muoh like that of southern Europe, and, if known, would attract a considerable population of those who so many of them die of consumption when emigrating to colder countries. The province didn't do enough in iti own interests." Too muoh cannot be said to emphasize the above facts. The letters which we receive almost daily from all parts of the United States, asking for sample copies of Tuit Columbian, would, alone, convince us that this prov. vince, and this city particularly, are beginning to attract widespread attention, and that would-be immigrants are desirous of obtaining information about our climate, resources, etc. "Strike while the iron is hot," is a good motto, and n judicious and liberal advertising of the provihee and its various cities nt this time would undoubtedly bo a most profitable investment. The World wants a new registry diitrict estalilislioil, with Vancouver ai the center, embracing all the country north, with the munioipali. tias of Delta and Richmond included, Partof Iho municipality of Richmond might be more conveniently icrved with a registry offlce at Vancouver, but the Delta would not, it being south of West- niaater, apd would necessitate travelling past the preient registry ofBoe at thii city in order to gajj to Vancouver. The salt water terminus .ould, no doubt, take the worW if it could get it, and while we an) not going to say anything againit the proposed new registry office, we ratlin; decidedly object to tha Delta municipality being included in a new diitriot with its -intra at Vancouver, lor the reasons itated above; To ihow how anxious Vanwravrt ii to Beottre Uid registry duiriot in qdatfo- ana increase her oommunieations with the agricul t»i***d_*«ta,w. quota th. follow- inj {mm tha _•*_*_. referred to in VttWtMr ***-*_*j ythmmlXk to tmt_\\ (bill work, unl-al a lubatantial real,-*, or consideration Sas ad- vancetl foi such a radical change, as this propoial unquestionably would be i£;*arned q.|.

We are confident that an understanding can be arrived at whereby the wishes of this community, in regard to registration matters, can be fully satis- lied. Should it be a tine qua non that part of tho cost involved for transcribing titles be paid by the city of Voncouvor—so long as the sum paid is a reasonable one—we are persuaded the bill would be paid cheerfully, and all classes acquiesce in the action of the council in this much-to-be-desired matter." Money is no object at all! Just show Vancouver a convenient slot where it can drop its nickels and pull out the sweet-meats, and it will wear the machine out in no time. A little more t. this spirit, under proper control, would not hurt the royal city. ^^^^^^^^^ The Toronto Enij-nre, in a good- humored and patriotic vein, thus repudiates the "blizzard" altogether either as u native or a naturalized acquirement of the Dominion. Tho Manitoba blizzards are not blizzards ut all, it says, ahd we are greatly relieved at hearing this, for we had always supposed that they wore. By the light thrown upon the subject by the Empire, it becomes quite clear that we were mistaken, and we now have a higher opinion of our common patrimony than ever. The Empire puts it in this way : "There aro blizzards and blizzards. The kind which is copyrighted in Dakota and other western states, and. is not allowed to circulate beyond tlio bounds of the republic, is the true blizzard. Others are base imitations of the real article. They are dubbed blizzards by ambitious communities spurred to a natural emulation by the district: displacers, of which the Dakotans ure so fond, and which are include- in the regular products of the country. Winnipeg thinks it had a blizzard the other day, but it hadn't. The high wind whioh prevailed there was undoubtedly a good thing of its kind—everything we have in Canada is first-class and warranted to bear inspection—hut that it was a real blizzard, one of those hideous blasts which catch peaceful settlers up and dump them in neighboring counties, which suddenly grasp barns full of crops and carry them off to distant places, which, worse than all, destroy lifo and keep llie law-abiding citizens within easy reach of a hole ill llie ground, that it was one of these convulsions of nature we cannot believe. For theso reasons : Winnipeg stands to day just whero it did day beforo yesterday ; its people ore attending to their business in tho ordinary way; the houses remain where the owners built them; no Winnipegger is limping along the shore of Lake Superior on one leg looking for the other whioh he dropped at Rat Portage on bis, enforced journey through the clouds. Ths'conditions at Winnipeg are evidently not those which follow the visitation of a blizzard. Reluctantly we must tell Winnipeggers that their atmospheric disturbance was a gale, a good stiff gale, it may be, strong enough to entail a little muscular resistance and to summon up the warm blood to healthy cheeks, but that was all. The attempt to locate the death-dealing blizzard in our country is not a success." After a few yeara' experience of tbe balmy seasons of British Columbia, even the Manitoba zephyr would itrike one as a pretty formidable affair. We would advise all who are troubled with climatic scruples to pay this province a visit before locating elsewhere. Hero, the nearest that we come to blizzards— genuine or spurious—is to read about them in telegraphic despatches from less favored localities. British Columbia's climate is a matter tbat is made little of, among her other numerous resources, but when it comes to be more generally understood and appreciated, it will prove a most valuable asset.

A young farmer living near Victoria is in a dreadful fix, brought about by rashness almost incredible. He was a strong supporter of Mr. Ward for mayor and in his silly enthusiasm promised a young lady friend that ho would either marry her or give her bis farm if Mr. Grant was elected, ahd the fair lady insists that the promise must be kept, ahe being willing to close tlie bargain on either promise, Tho rash young man does not want to part with hia farm, neither doeB he wish to marry tho young lady and so he is in a moat unenviable position. The young lady, however, is determined that the bargain must be consummated and will take proceedings, if necessary, to get her just dues. It is probable ihe rash young farmer will not meddle in oity affairs again while he remains aingle. Vancouver Smallpox Case. An Ottawa despatch says: The deputy minister of agriculture opines that the trouble in regard to the steam* ship Premier, which had on board a case of smallpox at Vancouver, was virtually at an end after a lot of misapprehension on tho matter. Vessels were not now detained iu quarantine, but the patients were taken off her as soon as possible and isolated, the usual methods of fumigating being adopted. Although then wen several smallpox cases, the usual quarantine regulations would be sufficient to meet tho necessities of tho case. The low provides that from a vessel carrying infectious cases all the articles likely to convey disease must bo taken off and the vessel cleansed and purified. The passengers, crow, and vessel must remain so long aa the medcial officer thinks fit for the purpose of being cleansed and purified.

There was not sufficient room last night in the Baptist church to accommodate the number who assembled to listen to O. W. Rasuro, the "cow-boy evani-oliflt," relate a portion of his eighteen years' experier.ee nn tlie plains, fie spoke for an hour and a half of hii adventures and tho desperate deeds done by the cow-boys in which he had taken port, he being the leader of bad men for seventeen years. Our space only suffices to give a sample sketch, as nearly as possible in Mr. Raaure's own words, from the eventful tale of his life: "I intend to relate the last 18 years out of 231 have spent with the cow-boys on the frontier, from Nevada, through Texas and Arizona. 1 wai born in northern Kentucky. Hen in your country, law ii enforced, but in iny country might makes right in many cases. At the age of 141 joined in the civil war, and for four and a half years acted as scout, Bpy and soldier, I was born in sin, ana early taught to use the six-shooter and knife. I was interested in the Hill and Walker feud, of which there only remains one of the Hills, a cripple; but no Walker remains; I am a distant relative of that family. I nn away from home at the age of 0, got back, ran away again at 11, and got. back again and went to school until I wai 13. When the war broke out the afate was divided about evenly—half confederate, half rebel—and it was hot work in that country. I am telling you of my life so that you can see, if God can save me. He can Bare you. I shott skip considerable, and comedown lo '05, when I joined a lot of Mis* soiirians, .lease James and others. After the war closed, I went to the Pawkoo district, in '00, at Fort Lebanon was discharged, and went back to my home in Kentucky. I had been back about six weeks, when one day six men came to the house, and oot finding me in, abused my mother because I was not there. My mother wished me to flee the country.'" I aaid no, they have abused you, and I will be avenged. Shouldering my rifle, I want down town, and got my man (sensation), but the law cleared me; again they attacked, 1 downed ray man, and again the law cleared, me: ana, upon the earnest request of my mother I left home, and went wobt to livo nmonj-afc the Indians, to be a cowboy. I started breaking horses, and was ever on tho look out for read agents. I crossed the North Platte River beforo any other white man., and was amongst the tint to enter' the Black Hills, and I can, if ever I get "busted," go back to Mr. A. Arnold, of Cheyenne, or any other of those I worked for and get employment, because I was an honest man and dared face any danger in protecting thoir interests. Then are lots of cow-boys as good aa any other men; it is the acoundreli who have committed depredations in the east, fleeing to the weat to bo cow-boys, that have given them a bad name. I can take half-a-dozen cow-boys and whip more Indians than 100 U. S. soldiers." The cow-boy evangelist will conclude the narrative of his life at the Baptist churoh tonight, nnd as religious truths are repeatedly enforced throughout his discourse, saint and sinner may obtain profit as well aa entertainment.
