Vol. I. Ladysmith, 5. C, Wednesday, March 17, 1909. Sewer Construction Under Consideration Thero was rati'.cr an interesting meeting of thc city council last evening. Tbe principal questions before the city fathers was thc best methods of preventing another visitatioii cf smallpox, nnd thc construction of sowers. It has been decided tc take early precautions against another vis* Ration of smallpox, and thc consider'' alion of the sewer tender was left, ever till a special meeting called! for last night. There wero present at trie meeting: Mayor Nicholson, in the thair, and Aid. Matheson, Brown, Haworth, Campbell, Dier and Roberts. After the minutes of the last meeti 4n,; had teen read and approved, com^ munt:ations were received from, the following: From F. A. Dcvercaux,. Victoria; declining to submit tender for sewer, and offering certain suggestions as to the conditions under which thc sewers should be constructed. • From \\V|lis Chapman, making application for the position of engineer. From the Buckeye Traction Nand Ditch Company asking for the name of the successful tenderer. From H. K; Duetchcr, asking foi' th; position of consulting en^nccr; From Alex. D. Evans, asking for the position of consulting cng'/aeer on sewer construction. These communications wave laid over to be dealt with-later on., From Wm. Ward,»with regard to es# timates for improving the cement walk around Blair & Adam's store, i | Cn ae'ount of certain difficulties with regard to grade, this communication was laid over for a time. The Northern Oas and Power Company as!;ed for a charter to supply Ladysmith with gas. The commi nication was received and filed and a suitable reply will he forwarded by the city clerk. Dr. Williams, city medical health officer, wrote complaining of a well belonging to A. Smith, and stating' that the water was totally unfit for domestic purposes. A copy of thc report will Ia sent to4the waterworks office With the re.' ,quest that water be supplied as early as convenient. The B. C. Pottery Copany wrote with regard lo .supplying pipe for the. sewers. Thc communication was laid over Ior future reference. There was'a communication from tho department of Agriculture, recommending that the result nf thc in' testigations of thc dairy, inspector If sent to tlw municipal council so lhat the latter body would Lc able lo enforce the regulations. The communication was received and filed, and thc city will notify th*) department ti'.iat they will give tt every possible aid in cwying out tbcv regulations. Accounts aggreagting (19.15 were presented and referred to tho finance committee. '. The city medical health officer rc- commcnJcd thc purchase of antl-tox- ino to the value of $80.60. Under the head of new business tho aldermen discussed the snuHpox situation nt Nanaimo. • It wns believed by every member of thc board that tho greatest care rhould be taken to prevent another visitation. The opinion was generally expressed that at tho present tlmf there was grave danger that thc men working at Extension mine and living ct Nanaimo would communicate tho disease to thc Ladysmith men working nt tho same plarc. Some thought thero was gross carelessness on tho part of the Ladysmith people who visited Nanaimo knowing that! smallpox was so prevalent in that city. Tbe latter were blamed more than the Nanaimo people who came here. One case was mentioned of, a young man who visited at a house in Nanaimo, and knew that there was a caso of smallpox In the house. It was staled by more than ono alderman that where it was discovered llhat nay one had contracted the tfis»- case through negligence, he wouldi be compelled to pay fos the cost of his attendance. Aid. Campbell spoke particularly ■ ^.^ ^ j^^ ^^ pdin. strong on this point of going after the disease, which provoked the remark from Aid. Watheson that if Aid. Campbell had a sweetheart at Nanaimo, be might hold modified opinions. To this Aid. Campbell replied: "II I had a gjirl in Nanaimo I would g*iv«j heri a wide berth justnow." Even thc mayor could not suppress tho laughter lhat this retort, provoked. • After further, discussion it was decided to take ovcry precaution against a visitaticn of thc loathsome disease, and thc proper officials will be communicated with, and an effort will be made to have rjl mail matter from Nanaimo fumigated. Then thc opening of the tenders, for tho sewers came up. There was only one tender, that of Mr. Hugh McDonald. Mr. McDonald was present, and gave the council considerable useful infoi'ination with regard to sewer building. It was decided to liobl a special meeting Tuesday evening and finally dispose of the matter. A4d. Dier brought up the question of the libellous article nn Ladysmith in the Vancouver World. The statement was a misleading one, and would, result in untold injury to the city. Mayor - Nicholson , also spoke in strong terms with regard to the ar- tklo. The offence was even aggravated, by thc so-called retraction of thc World. Tho mayor referred to thc tact that Mr. John Stc/wart, white at Vancouver, had telephoned the editor ot the World, but tho latter, possibly to shield himself from the wrath of the management ot thc paper, had not made any statement that could be regarded in the light of a retraction in so far as thc business interests of Ladysmith were concerned. Every alderman at the board spoke in the same tone, and finally it was decided, cn motion ot Aid. Dier, seconded,by Aid. Haworth, that the city clerk demand from the World a full retraction of its misleading statements, thc same to oreupy the same prominent position in the paper in which the defamatory stutcmcnls were published. This motion was carried unanimously, and it is not exaggerating the situation auy when it is stated that the city council is intensely in earnest with regard -to the enormity ol the offence. After some questions with regard to thc electric light debentures, the council adjourned. There was a special meeting of the council last night, those present being Mayor Nicholson and Aid. Matheson, Dier, Campbell and Roberts. The business before thc meeting was the consideration of the sewer plans, and tenders. Mr. Hugh McDonald was present anil gave the council the benefit ol his experience. After a long discussion in which all present too'.! part,, it was decided to engage the services of an experienced engineer, who, in company with Mr. McDonald, Will go over the plans and divide if any economy can.be effected in carrying out the work, The. contract will I not be awarded until thc matter ot 'lowest possible cost'.can bo settled. Oriental Question I in Canada Mr. Martin Burrell, the member for Yale-Cariboo, in an address before the Canadian club at Toronto, a, tew days ago, placed thc Oriental immigration Question, as it affects British Coluinbft, in a light which must havo carried conviction to cur..Eastern fcllowcountrymcn who arc so, indisposed to regard the Asiatic as a dangerous settler in Canada, sayis the Vancouver Province. Mr. Burrell in ted out that he considered it a fallacy to believe tnat the Japanese trade wan so valuable to Canada as to warrant sacrifice on, she. part ot British Columbia or any other part ot the Dominion to ma'^itain good ii1 lation's. "If," said Mr. Burrell^ "such a man as Lord Roberts thinks that the presence of. 50,000 Germans in England is a menace to that country, surely 15,090 Japanese wc now have, and the many more who. may come lo us, may be considered .»i ra menace to Canada. Thc race that developed Ontario, that pioneered its wilderness, should do the Work in British Columbia." Thai Is the feature of the case which at once strikes one living in tliis province who realizes the rapidity ol increase of Oriental seltlenicnl during thc past few years. II isfbc- cause the country has so few white settlers that these Oriental immigrants become such a serious meni*-. It was asserted by some of, the East) em American papers a, few months ago, that, thc objcct'fcns to Japanese immigration to this continent «as more pronounced and intense in British Columbia than in any nt thc Pa. cific States of the Union. Wc do not l.now that this is exactly the, ease, but there is renson why it. should be he case. For every white citizen which British Columbia has, the stal| of Washington has at least two, the state of Oregon perhaps four and California considerably more then that. Then, too, these states arc members of a nation of eighty millions of people, and there is a constant and an immense pressure of population fronj the 'East westward. Even were thc United States laws against Asiatic immigration much less severe than they are there could be no likelihood of the influx from As'» orientalizing thoso states. It is different in Brit- t.,h Columbia, however. In thisvpro- vincc tho white population is sparse. And behind us, in Canada, we have at best but six million. It must be remembered, too, what an enormous country it Is that wc possess; what a vast area of It has been untouched and what a vast area,, too, is appeal* ing as much, or almost as much, to intelligent and industrious while settlement as British Columbia is. It took lhe United Slates cpnsldcr- a'bly' over a century to secure ils population of eighty millions, and if wc admit, and wc think, ts'erybody will admit, that the 20th century, is to be Canada's century, still It will r*(uiro all and more than thc hundred years, to givo us a population equal to that cf the United Statcy—a population, that is, sufficient to assurai us against any danger of the orien- talization af our Pacific seaboard. When our prairie provinces arc reasonably well settled, and when, our fertile valleys in British Columbia are occupied ..by people of cur own ra*e, when our cities and towns aro distinctly white in character, and the great enterprises which aro bound to exist on this coast, are in the hands of Canadians, wc will be safe fi'om any dnn-cr of being'demoralized by Asiatic settlement: but, until that time there is real danger to the province and to the people of Canada, S3 Mclsaac-McNamee One of thc best glovo contests ever soon in the city of Ladysmith was the general verdict with regard to. the exhibition given by M. Mclsaao and George McNamee at thc Opera House lafit night. While neither one, had tndergonc thc necessary amount ot training for a big event, they proved conclusively "that under more favorable conditions they were well able to' take care Of themselves. For tho first three or four rounds it seemed as if Mclsaac bad a shade thc best of it, but McNamec came up fresh for every round, and in the seventh had more, than an even break. It cannot bo say that it was altogether a^flght, for a, decision, and the majority ef those present rather regarded it in the light of a clever exhibition- of the manly art of self- defense. Both men .wero good-natured throughout the ten rounds, anil when the time came for a decision it was felt that the referee would have some difficulty in reaching. a conclusion that would correctly meet the requirements of the situation, v When Bouncer Brown declared it a draw no fault was found with thc decision, although it was felt tbat throughout the most effective blows had been de, livcred by Mclsaa.?. As evidence of thc decision, it might, Lc said that.Mclsaac himself admits that the referee gave illic only decision that could Jiave been given under the circumstances, McNamee is a heavier man that Mclsaac, and last light he showed Dial even with, out the necessary training he is capable ol Standing a lot of punishment, and he can deliver a heavy blow now and .again -when the opportunity offer? itself. If Mclsaac adheres strictly to his present abste ious way) of living, it Is more than likely that lie will be beard from later in another class. Ho has physique, is quick both with his hands and on, his feet, and never loses his head. The first event ol tho evening was a three-round contest between Bouncer Browp and J. Nicol. Either man had inailc preparations, but it was an interesting pielinilnary. Bouncer showed that he had somo of, the old vim left, and Nichol prcved that he was a very clever amateur. When the time came for thc star event the house was well crowded, and as was said before everyone was perfectly satisfied with tho contest. At the close McNamec challenged Mclsaac for a twenty round contest ani5 tho latter accepted, and offered to make it a finish. Thc date for thc next meeting has not been decided upon yet. The K. of P. dance in the Opera House Frinsay evening will be iu keeping with thc dances held by,, that society in the past. The house will be tastefully decorated for the occasion, and the music will be all that. couldbe desired. To-day, March 17, is St. Patrick's Day, and many residents ef Ladysmith are observing the event by wearing ^he colors,ot Old Ireland. In nearly every city, in the.Province the anniversary is being celebrated by concerts, banquets, etc.* Hugh McDonald, thc well-known contractor of Victoria, left for home this morning, after spending several days in this city in connection with the sewer contract. Mr. McDonald has built more sewers than any, man in British Columbia, and his work has always; been found most satistac- tory. There will be a joint meeting of thc Citizens' League and all other societies in tho city on Thursday evening, March 25, for the purpose of considering tho proposal lo br.ild a hospital. The secretary of lhe Lea guc has notified tho various societies ot whose existence he has information, and many of thc citizens who would be likely to take an interest) in the undertaking, but he realizes that he may have overlooked some, and ty these ho extends a'general invitation. Particularly is it desirable that thc women of thc city should interest themselves in providing a hospital, anh a special invitation is Issue! to all women to be present. ... Ladysmith Won the Came and Tied Nanaimo Ladysmith again showed their su- pcriotity over the Esquimau team by defeating than, 5 goals to 1< Tho game was a littio too one-sided to bo interesting but thc large number ol -.spectators that turned out enjoyed tho match thoroughly. Tho day was an ideal one and the good sprinkling of the fair sex made the turnout so much brighter. There is no need o going' into details, the local team won anu hut was the main thing Brass ana McGuire each scored iu the first half. Sanderson, McMillan and Morrison got one each in the second while Esquimau added their ouly goat near the cud. This win iuakes Ladysmith tic with Nanaimo, with four points each with two games. Esquimau, with five games played, have onl)*"two points and Victoria United at) thc bottom with a duck egg, Thc standing of thc clubs is as follows: Ladysmith 2 2 0 4 Nanaimo 2 2 0 4 Esquimalt ,. 5 10 2 Victoria l o 1 0 Local and General News Notes civil \\va,r. In addition to the picture, rogrammc Mr. Alex. Aucliinvolo sang two songs, which wero dcscrvsdj^ ly, applauded. For the. last three., nights of the week a, specially good programme will be presented. The first will, be a picture of "Nature Life in tho Soudan," and then a "Visit to the Public Nursery," "The Road to Ruin," "The Face, on the Bar-room Floor," the latter two being particularly interesting, and a comic one entitled "Fly Paper:" In addition to these pictures Alex. Au- chinvole will- sing "You Own My Heart Forever, Madeline." Altoge-1 ther tho programme , is in, keeping with thc excellent pictures that, have been shown at this house since it first, opened, and the audiences should he equally as large as in ?he past. Mr. R. Marpole is now out tin tho E. & tt. line, and in a day or two will be in Ladysmith. Mr. Marpolo will haw many matters to look into uring his visit here, the principal one being the arrangements tor dis. posing of thc lately cleared land*. A c*w days ago. a deputation from Lr- dysirith waited upon Mr. Mrrpolp. at Vancouver to impress i.oon him "lie desirability of improved Ini- vorta- tion arrangements between hi le and Vancouver, ami be prcm ie,| thai depi utatioii that be wou!:l gist) the matter his considcrati in and uivc an an* swer on the occasion of l."s f.r-; vi.-ifc to Ladysmilh. ~ As tlie dcim',.itior. till retains its powers in this mab- ter, it will bo their duty to sec Mr. Marpole when ho reaches hero and gesj is answer. If l.c has not fully made up his mind, il would be well to c*>v lain to him that the opinion of tho citizens as to tlio desirability of better transportation facilities and let-, initial rales has not undergone any change since their visit to Vancouver, and ttiat an early solution of the prcblem is essential to thc future welfare of the city. On Monday night the Opera House was crowded to the limit the first show,.and a good-sized crowd wee in for the second, the attraction being the Clans and Nelson prize fight picture which is a very fine reproduction, and greatly, pleased the audience. The. film Is shown to-night for the last time. To-morrow night a new programme will be given, the "feature* being a series ot pictures taken during oncof the national "Spanish Bull Fi,.b:s" and correctly reproducing the event from beginning to end. Ah- cne of th> national "Spanish Bull he "Held by Bandits," a story that is sure to arouse thc interest ol thc spectator. Thc comical end will be filled by "A Bloodless Duel" and and "Dreams and Realities." The managers state that this program is sure to ma'.c a hit and it will be shown two nights only, Thursday and Saturday, as the Knights ot Pythias hold their ball in the Opera House on Friday night. There will lc a very important meeting of those interested in the development ol thc Mclntyre Foundry Co., at Russell'? hall, over the feed store, next Friday evening. It should be borne in mind that iu building up this industry the cil Vcns of Ladysmith are helping to build up the city. There will' be a great demand for the product of this company during the next few years onthis island, and it is with thc object ofbcinj aid' to supply this demand tbat the company Is now selling stock. E\\x>ry man who has looked into the affairs of the company is perfectly satisfied with what has been done, mil II is satisfactory to learn that the shares art-being taken up by local men, and. that a great deal of the stock has already been sold, Every dollar Invested in the stock of tho Mclntyre Foundry Company means that the money will be spent at home, and local industries will be developed. The Novelty theatre has been crowded every night this week and the pictures presented have all been ot the usual Interesting character. The two best pictures are "Conway to Dublin" and the "Blue and tho Gray." The latter tells a very pretty story ot ths recent United States Canadian Sovereigns are Scarce While a comparatively small number of Canadian sovereigns were coined a few months ago in Ottawa, it appears that none, or at least very; few, have been so far receVci in this; city. It is said, upon one hand, that' only a couple of hundred of them were coined, and that all these were incontinently gobbled up by members of parliament, being cither kept as mementoes or as watch-chain souven. irs, and if for sale at all, being held at a pretty high price, f-25 or more. Tbe assistant receiver general has however, received a few silver coins of the Canadian mintage, and in due course distributed them among the local benking institutions But these cannot in any way be distinguished from those which have come from the London mint, except in this rather minute particular, that tbey bear tha years either 1908 or 1909 imprinted upon their face As thc coin value of twp half dollar** or one full dollar in Canadian silver Affords a net profit to the country ot about fSJ per cent., a dcti-rmincir effort may bo made to replace, tho .•.■juwlunce of American coin here wltH the native article. Indeed, much morel intrinsic value could he given by tho illegitimate corner than is furnished by tlie government, and still a very rrspwtablo profit could be realized. Some, years agoy when silver bullion] wns at ii lowest ebb, American all. vcf coins wore fraudulently minted upon a Wy large scale iu China, audi brought over to the United States, where without difficulty they, werc'inf traduced into circulation. And these* coiners, moreover, gave much better metallic Value in their production than was supplied by the federal gov-* eminent of the United St8.tes.-VI*> torla Colonist.

Reference was made in these col unins last week to a libelous article According to a despatch from London, at the annual meeting of thc rational Association for the Pre'.Kntion of Pnmature Burials, A. F. Jennings, of Baltimore, JId., stated that a day or two bclarc he left America lie, learned of a case in which a loud shriek was heard from a coffin that had teen placed in at r»llcy to be carried into a crematorium. Nothing could be done as the trolley already had started and its progress into thc (lamer could not be wrested. Tho speaker declared he had come across 131 cases of persons who, according to medical testimony had been interred alive, and more than 200 cascii of persons saved from that fate on the very brink of the grave. It is rather strange that in view of thc lact that many cases of premature burial era known to ta'.:c place that there, has been no legislation to make such a thing absolutely impossible.

The Diary of a Queen Lord Eslier, deputy [pycitoot ot Windsor Castle, whoso "Letters ol Queen Victoria"- were published in WW, recently gave an interesting lecture at the Royal Institution on Queen Victoria, The lecture was 6iven with thc permission of the King, and contained much new information concerning thc late Queen. From tlie ago of 13, and until within a lew days of her death, Lord Esher said, Queen Victoria kept a daily privoto journal which would never be published in its entirety, These, works, recording the daily life events pi the Queen, would fill a hundred volumes. All were -Written in her small running hand. Hor entire correspondence and papers, when arranged and complete, would fill 1,250 volumes. * Lord Esher said that the Journal showed that, trom her childhood, Queen Victoria took herself most seriously, and that, as Queen, -she always had the courage to act alone and "with confidence In my country," Her influence was uniformly thrown cn the side ot peace, the speaker declared, and there was no single instance IA her whele reign where Queen Victoria could be shown to have favored war or to have encouraged those anxious for war. "We ewe to Queen Victoria," said Lord Esher, "thc reinstatement of tlio monorchia! princililo in the ryes of all grave and curnrst men. I have bud exceptional opportunity lor examining at first, hand the llll't'i* history of her reign,,hut I find no trice of any gravo mistake cn.imiiiteil 'iiy .Queen Victoria in her iM|>iK';ty US Sovcielgn."
