No. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 22, 1910 One Dollar Per Annum THE BRITISH ELECTIONS Even in this most westerly outpost of the great British Empire, the principal topic of discussion during the past week has been the gigantic struggle which is taking place in the Motherland, so many thousand miles away. Your modern vote- hunter abhors a straight issue, he must disguise his aims by obscuring them with many words, and thus it is that there is presented before the inhabitants of the British Isles a number of various issues on which the struggle is fought, instead of one clear-cut question. Yet, judging by the speeches of Lloyd George, Keir Hardie, Winston Churchill and the rest of the unsavoury crew, judging, we repeat, by their unpatriotic ancl unstateman-like endeavours to raise class against class, one can only conclude that the struggle in Great Britain today may be correctly described in the same language that a well- known European writer used in describing the outrages in Eussia four or five years ago, which, under the specious plea of a desire for liberty, deluged that country with blood. He spoke of that bitter contest as being "a fight between the forces •of rascality and the forces of law and order," and subsequent events have amply proved the correctness of his definition. If all English Liberals were like Lloyd George and his immediate followers, and were willing to listen and be convinced by his hysterical abuse of every man who pos- contest will be on the Conservative side, it is at the least certain that the Liberals will return to power sadly shorn of the great majority which they have used so unscrupulously since 1906, and may even be forced, after adding Kadical and Socialist to their discredited ranks, to truckle to the vote of the murderous Irish Nationalists. Whether England will submit, should such an event happen, to see the control of the balance of power in Imperial affairs held by the cowardly cattle- maimers and man-murderers who stood up in the British House of Commons and cheered for joy at the news of British defeats, is quite another question. For our part,, we think that she will not, and that, should such a crisis come to pass, the rough remedy which the late Oliver Cromwell applied so successfully to the Green Isle of Discontent two hundred and sixty years ago is very likely to be employed again to settle the Irish problem for all time to come. of his own industry, has acquired some of this world's goods, whether that man be the working man who owns his house and lot, or the manufacturer who owns factories and warehouses. The unchecked control by a single chamber composed of the steadily deteriorating class of men who are entering into public life today would mean social and industrial disruption and a return to the condition of the Middle Ages in less than a generation. THE PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE To say that the opening of the Provincial Legislature on Thursday last was a brilliant and imposing function, is mere-- ly to say that it was what it ought to be. And, before we go any further, we should like to make a remark concerning tho extraordinary attitude which our esteemed Government whom the people of British Columbia, by an almost unanimous vote entrusted with that task on the 25th of Jast November. The long record of faithful service and unswerving devotion to the interests of this Province, which is possessed by the Hon. Richard McBride ancl his colleagues, more than justifies the absolute and overwhelming vote of confidence by which the electorate entrusted to their hands the epoch-making task of providing Britisli Columbia with a new trunk railway. It is safe to say, in view of that record, that when the Canadian Northern Railway Bill is brought before the House, it will be found that the interests of the people have been provided for and safeguarded with statesmanlike ability which has been a distinguishing and noted characteristic of the McBride Government ever since it came into power and which has raised British Columbia in less than seven years from the humiliating position of a sesses any money, the outlook in Great Britain would indeed be a dark one. But the Liberal victory is by no means so certain a thing at this writing as the leaders of that party prophesied a few weeks ago. In the first place, the attack on the Lords appears to have emphatically defeated itself. These gentlemen, whom it has pleased the unsoaped demagogues of the slums and the parasitic journalists of the yellow press to describe as fools and weaklings, took their part like men in the most bitterly fought electoral campaign since the days of the Reform Bill, and gave as good as they got, and a little better.! Further, although England is slow to move, the numerous Liberal defeats and the reduced majorities of those of the Government party who have been returned, furnish abundant proof that the nation is slowly awaking to the fact that Free Trade, however good a thing seventy years ago, must, under modern conditions, spell the decay of any country which holds such a creed. None know that better than we in Canada, who owe the fact that we are rapidly becoming prominent in the world's industrial markets to the wise policy of Protection initiated by the late Sir John A. Macdonald, and followed—without acknowledgment and in defiance of his boasted principles prior to 1896—by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. All history, back to the days of Tyre and Sidon and the earliest records of human industry on a commercial scale, teaches emphatically the great lesson that the country which manufactures its own product and the raw products of others, and sells those home-manufactured products both at home and in the world's markets, is the country which achieves greatness. This lesson, the events of the past week have shown very plainly, is being slowly learnt in Great Britain. For the rest, while it is impossible to say lat this writing that victory in the present A REMARKABLE COINCIDENCE The Week has not often found itself in a position to speak with approval of any public act in Sir Wilfrid Laurier's career—with the exception of his staunch support of the Conservative policy of Protection, since he assumed the reins of office. Frankly, we believe that Sir Wilfrid has done as much evil for the love of power as his more vulgar and low-minded followers have clone for the love of money. At least, however, his aim is somewhat more lofty than that of the Siftons, Tartes, Hymans and Pugsleys by whom he has chosen to surround himself, and it is certainly with pleasure that The Week gives him full credit for one good and honest thing which he said in public this week. By a strange coincidence, the very week which has seen an election in the Mother Country having for one of its prominent issues the abolition of a Second Chamber in England, has seen the overwhelming defeat in the Federal Parliament of Canada of a motion to abolish the Second Chamber in the Dominion. And the words of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in supporting the existence of the Canadian Senate and in endorsing the existence of the English House of Lords should be taken to heart by every Canadian who is tempted to stray from the path of national rectitude for the sake of securing the fickle vote of the children of the gutter. Here are Sir Wilfrid Laurier's words spoken last Monday, and The Week gives him credit for having the courage and the sincerity to utter them: "Of course the wish is expressed that there should be a reform of the House of Lords, and indeed it is very probable that whichever party succeeds in the present election, the House of Lords will in some way be reformed. But I am sure that there is no suggestion that the House of Lords should be abolished. For myself, I think it would be unfortunate if the Second Chamber were abolished. The same principle applies here." AVe think there is no doubt that Sir Wilfrid Laurier made this statement in all sincerity and with the fullest conviction. He undoubtedly realises, as every thinking and intelligent man today must realise, tliat the tiling which is being everywhere hailed, worshiped ancl toadied to ns Democracy is fast becoming a menace to every man who, by the fruit morning contemporary and our almost as _ 0 _ „ much esteemed evening contemporary are bankrupt province to the high condition pleased to adopt with regard to this cere- of prosperity and progress which she now mony. The worthy Times the other night had a brief but plaintive editorial, in which, painfully conscious of the fewness of its party's representatives in the House, it practically asked that the glories of the opening ceremony should be omitted, as an act of sympathizing courtesy to the unfortunate Liberal party, whose members bear so small a part in that ceremony on the present occasion. The Colonist on the other hand appears to think that it is necessary to apologise for the Lieutenant- Governor's uniform and for the presence of the officers of the land and naval forces in their uniforms, apparently because it thinks that the sensitive soul of Democracy might be offended at it. We hasten to correct both our contemporaries. The presence in uniform of the Lieutenant- Governor and the officers of the Army and Navy at the opening and closing of a legislature anywhere within the Britisli Empire is no empty ceremony or meaningless symbol, or survival of old time tradition. It stands for a very real thing, it stands for that power of government, which, while in a sense of the people, is yet above the people. It stands today throughout the greatest empire the world has ever known as a living contradiction to the false doctrine of equality. It is the outward and visible sign of that strong governing hand which has made the British Empire what it is. The glove may be of velvet and gold lace, but the iron hand is there underneath, and the little folk ancl the demagogues know it ancl fear it, for it stands for something higher than tlieir limited comprehension and debased ideals can ever grasp. Probably no Lieutenant-Governor of Britisli Columbia ever commenced liis career by opening a more momentous session than is likely to be the one which Lieutenant-Governor Patterson opened on Thursday. Ancl this, not because of the contentions and wordy strife of Opposition ancl Treasury benches, fighting for tlio mastery, but because the present legislature is, with four exceptions, a body of men sent there by the people of British Columbia. The passage of the Canadian Northern Railway Bill, which will be an accomplished fact in a short week or two from now, overshadows in importance all the other tasks which will come before this present legislature. The Bill has been drawn up with the utmost care by the enjoys. THE SONGHEES RESERVE Consideration of the great issues involved in the construction of the Canadian Northern ancl the passage of the legislation necessary thereto reminds us that there is something more than a hint in the air that the present session of the Legislature may witness the settlement of another question almost equally vital to the interests of the people of Victoria. AVe refer to the statement made by Mr. Morley that the Hon. Price Ellison, Minister of Lands, has under consideration certain plans looking towards a final settlement of the grey- haired problem of the Songhees Reserve. The AVeek is in possession of no more extensive information on this subject at present than the rest of the public, but it feels that it is voicing a unanimous opinion when it expresses the hope that this rumour may be founded on fact. If the McBride Government has taken up the question of the Songhees Reserve, then that question is likely to be finally settled at a very early date indeed, for the McBride Government has a very well earned reputation for doing things instead of talking about them. THE POULTRY SHOW The Victoria Poultry ancl Pet Stock Association conclude today the most successful show that they have ever held in the Capital City. Both as regards number of entries and quality of stock shown the exhibit in the Broad Street Hall eclipses anything of the kind seen here before. A remarkable feature of the show has been thc improved quality of utility birds, such as Plymouth Rocks, Wyau- dottes and Leghorns. His Honour, the Lieutenant-Governor formally opened the show on Wednesday last. The Week extends its congratulations to the officers of the Association, who in face of many difficulties, notably that of shortage of cash, have clone such excellent work on behalf of the poultry raisers of the Province. A petition is now under weigh to the Government for a grant to improve this industry in British Columbia. At the present time over $2,000,000 is expended annually in importing poultry produce from the United States, although the Province is perfectly capable of producing such commodities herself, climatic and other conditions being peculiarly favorable to poultry farming. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1910 Qt/^p-_*f*^lf—_wfy>_f_lfiQ j At The Street ^ \ Corner P By THB LOUNGER )£fJ%/*f%S«i'A_»*~_**J%/*1___\ I rather expected to be "hauled over the coals" with regard to my remarks on Trounce Avenue last week, and I was not disappointed. I was assailed with sarcasms for my ignorance and defiantly asked what the City Council had to do with this passage, seeing that it is owned by private individuals. I was aware of all this; I have seen the chains across the end of the avenue, slung there once a year to preserve the private rights, and to prevent a claim for public right-of-way. Nevertheless, I stick to my guns, for if the Council does not bring pressure to bear on these same individuals, whose names I do not profess to know, the paving will never be improved. I am not versed in municipal law, nor do I want to be, but common sense tells me that no band of individuals is going to "get together" and spend a sum of money on what is, after all, not an absolute necessity, but merely a beautifying luxury, without some gentle urging from outside. And who is better fitted to ply the goad than the Council? That is my position, though I grant that I did not put it quite plainly enough last week. * * * "Twinkle, twinkle, little lamp; How I wonder if you're damp; Poised upon the Causeway there, Wholly naked; not quite fair." Yes, doggerel of the worst kind, but from what I have seen in the Colonist lately, not to be sung for long. Aladdin is coming to life again, and thc wicked uncle is sending new lamps for old. Uncle lives in Pittsburg, and the new luminaries are expected in about a fortnight. So maintaining the same ratio of speed for their installation which has been preserved for their acquisition, we may confidently expect to have the Causeway suitably illuminated by the time that the daylight lasts long enough to allow all good people to go home to bed by other than artificial light. * * * What quaint little things small children are, and by far the most quaint when they are talking naturally together, without any idea that one of "The Olympians," to use Kenneth Graham's designation for adults, is within earshot. Some little time ago I quoted a remark made by a child with respect to the monuments in the Quadra Street Cemetery. Since that time I have changed my rooms, (it's only one room really, but I like to try and think of it as a suite), and usually walk into town at about the same time that the children of the district arc on their way to school. The other day I overtook three little girls; the oldest about eight, and the other two not far behind her. It is pleasant to imagine the innocent prattling of thc little ones, as they playfully wander off to school. Storybooks and poets tell us that they are talking about the little robin which has just built in thc garden, or discussing thc antics of the latest arrival by thc Kitten Express. But grim experience teaches other things. "Have you ever seen a dead person?" asked thc eldest, with a touch of triumph mingling with the awe with which she propounded the question. "No," faltered the second, evidently disgusted that her explorations in the "gruesome" wcre being eclipsed. Then her sex came to her aid; "No, and I don't want to." A pause, during which I was mean enough to walk slowly, as I realized that there were developments ahead. Then with thc hypocritical air of one who is pretending not to know that she is exploding a boom; "No, I haven't evet seen a dead person, but I know a lady who has had eight husbands. This was too much for thc eldest and she maintained silence, but now the smallest of the trio, feeling that she had said nothing to justify her association with such redoubtable folk, Imports of Champagne for the Year 1909 Cases G.

Hapless little one. Both her elders turned on her. "Ah! that don't count. Dead babies isn't dead people." And so I passed on, moralizing on the exact proportion of death which exists between a dead baby of four months, and a dead adult of, say, forty years. The children evidently would say that the latter was far "deader," probably on the grounds that there was more of him to die. * * * And when all is said and done, I believe that the children were right. With the exception of its own parents, nobody loves a baby. For diplomatic reasons visitors will gurgle ecstatically over, and dig their fingers into its cheek, and lavish endearing terms over it, and finally breathe a sigh of relief when it is deported to some other room. And I have a very strong idea that the reason why the average man and woman can't stand other people's babies, is because thc latter recall the fact that they themselves were each and one, at some time in their lives, much the same helpless, noisy and irritating lump of humanity, and it hurts their self-respect. My mythology is rapidly passing into the region of things known, but forgotten, but I remember that there was a certain old-time potentate, though his name escapes me, whose slave aroused him every morning with thc words, "Remember that thou too art mortal." That was to prevent him having too high an opinion of himself, and it was a very excellent NOTICE RECTIFICATION OF CROWN GRANT New Westminster District Notice is hereby given that in pursuance of Section 98 of the Land Act, an application will be made to the Chief Commissioner of Lands—three months after date—to have the Crown Grant of Lot 226, Group 1, New Westminster District, issued on the 17th day of April, 1875, to J.

At the Street Corner By THE LOUNGER (Continued from Page 2) reasonably certain to do, the slave had called out: "Remember that thou too wert even such an one as this." His kingship would have trotted off to his morning tub in an unenviable spirit of self-abasement. * * * But what need for this exceeding modesty? There is a golden mean betwixt the Scylla of arrogance and the Charybdis of self-abnegation. The Uriah Heeps of the world are just as obnoxious as are the Bombastes Furiosos, and infinitely more dangerous. We aren't put into this life to be perpetually thinking of its end. Old Horace was the true philosopher, and "carpe diem" is an excellent working motto for the average individual. Above all children should not indulge in these gloomy forebodings as to death or corpses. Not that it appears to affect their natural buoyancy of spirit. Next to a circus there is nothing which the ordinary child appreciates more thoroughly than a funeral, and even as among blind men the one-eyed man is king, so amongst children the fortunate one who has gazed on a real corpse, always providing that it is not that of a baby, is unanimously exalted as a being above his fellows, and as one, who, to make a bull, has "seen life." * * * As I have frequently remarked before in this column, no one has a higher appreciation for the work which the Salvation Army has done than I have, but I do sincerely wish that they could carry on the good work without the use of the band. I used to find Sunday afternoon a very peaceful time in which to write letters up in my office, and sometimes do a little work. With a comfortable fire and secure from interruption I can spend quite a pleasant time, and I do not consider that such an occupation could be a subject for cavilling on the part of any minister. But now, no sooner do I "compoge" myself, than down the street come the raucous strains from many instruments, some of them out of tune with the key-note, and all out of tune with each other. Exit my genius, and in its place impotent rage fills my heart. If all the city were treated fairly I wouldn't "kick." But it isn't. Lower Yates and lower Johnson streets, are selected without fail. This is natural as it is in that part of the town that an audience can be collected. But why should "high sassiety" always be left out in the cold? There are heaps of sinners living in the fashionable districts of Victoria, and their souls are every bit as valuable as mine and that of the next man in thc street. But no. It is decreed that the Salvation Army must hold its outdoor meetings as centrally as possible, and so I, who am peculiarly susceptible to noise of every kind, must relinquish my idea of spending an innocent afternoon in a warm and comfortable office, and must either pace the streets, or find relaxation in some more pernicious amusement. Which is unfortunate for the LOUNGER. A Paper for Stewart That the Portland Canal Camp is rapidly coming into its own is to be noted in the daily press, the latest information being of the starting of a weekly paper at Stewart, the metropolis of the new Eldorado. The publication will be called "The Portland Canal Miner" and is to be launched early in February by Mr. Percy F. Godenrath, one of the best known newspapermen of the Province and the present managing editor of Westward Ho! Under his management Stewart will have a weekly devoted to the up-building of the town and the development of the several camps, whose richness has set the mining world talking. Mr. D. D. Mann has given assurance that the Portland Canal Short Line Railway will be started in the Spring and meanwhile the eyes of hundreds of investors are turned to British Columbia's latest camp. Our Western Monthly The February number of Westward Ho! is just to hand, and this month appears in a cover of virgin white with a small Cupid presented in the centre. The principal feature of the number is another story by Agnes Deans Cameron dealing with the potentialities of Canada, and entitled "The Map that is half unrolled." Bonycastle Dale is to the fore with another of his attractive out-door sketches. An interesting and instructive article, well illustrated withal, is supplied by Selina Howard, on the Yukon country. A very pretty little story is that by Ellen R. C. Webber on "How the Man came in the Moon." The first of a series of articles on Secondary Education in Canada is contributed by L. McLeod Gould. Other articles and stories together with some really excellent poetry are to be found in this number, which continues to do the utmost credit to its energetic founder and managing editor, Mr. Percy F.

Published at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER 1208 Government St., Victoria, B.C. W. BLAKEMORE, Editor VAUDEVILLE BY BOHEMIAN Of all studies that of evolution is one of the most entrancing, whether applied to physiology, geology or the thousand and one things in which it is observable. Fashions, customs, habits are all the result of evolution, but in nothing is its progress more easily traced than in the course of events which placed the music hall and vaudeville stage on a plane with legitimate drama. Not many years ago the music hall was a place for men alone; the turns were usually coarse; the songs suggestive; the theatre a reeking inferno of tobacco smoke and alcoholic fumes, and the audience a heterogeneous mass composed of "lewd fellows of the baser sort," with here and there a smattering of the upper stratum of society who were "out for the night." But "nous avons change tout cela," and at the present time the vaudeville stage presents an amusing, clean show, with performers of the highest class in their own particular lines, and offers to the father of a family a place of entertainment to which he can take his wife and daughters for the maximum amount of amusement for the minimum amount of expense. That this happy issue is the result of evolution, none can doubt. In the first place the public craved for variety. Legitimate drama was all right, but the patron was bound down for the whole evening to one style of recreation. If he chose comedy, he had solid Comedy for three hours on end; if he chose melodrama, for the same space of time he had perforce to listen to the "Ha, ha, I have thee now" of the villain; it was the same with whatever species of play he went to. And the public wanted something lighter, something more varied, and the want was supplied by the music hall. That sufficed for a period, but the public was not content with places from which they were debarred from taking their women-folk, and so by degrees the music hall was purified, and when it was seen how enormously it rose in public favour, artistes began to specialise, until now we have the phenomenon of famous stars from the legitimate drama, and even from the Opera, signing contracts to appear for so many weeks on the music hall stage. And last, but by no means least came what has probably proved the greatest attraction of any, viz., thc Moving Pictures. The germ of the idea contained in the Moving Pictures was to be observed in an old-fashioned toy entitled "Thc Wheel of Life." As an infant I possessed one of these. It .consisted of a hollow round cylinder, about twelve inches in height, poised on a revolving .pin which was inserted •in an upright stand. Thc cylinder Was pierced with innumerable slits. Accompanying this mechanical part ■of the game were a number of long 'rolls of paper, portraying thc different -postures of a person or animal in motion. Then when the cylinder was rapidly revolved, anyone gazing through the slits would see a moving picture. Then came instantaneous photography, which sounded the death-knell of those entrancing pictures of horse-racing which used to take up a full page in the Sporting and Dramatic News, and represented a horse with all four legs stretched out at impossible angles, ancl instead we had inartistic but accurate portraitures of horses coming round Tottenham Corner balanced, on what would correspond to the big toe, if a horse had digits. Lastly came the Moving Picture. But even then there was much to be done. The first pictures were spasmodic; flashes of light alternated with the picture on the sheet; the portrayal was extremely trying on the eyes, and more often than not the images were blurred and hardly recognizable. At the present time, however, all these blemishes have been overcome; the pictures arc as nearly steady as possible and they can be watched for a couple of hours without any injurious results being observable. And what a range of possibilities this state of affairs has brought into being. The cinematograph is ubiquitous; no public event of importance escapes its eagle eye, and a new industry has been opened up. Thousands of men and women earn a living by posing for the Moving Pictures which arc represented for our amusement. It is as much of a profession now-a- days as is that of the artist's model. The music hall, or vaudeville show has reaped the benefit of this perfected invention, and not the vaudeville stage alone; there are thousands, probably hundreds of thousands, of men who have put _e\r capital into this business and, renting a hall in a small town, nightly.;delight and instruct the citizens, both young and old, with a ten-cent Moving Picture show. I consider that Vcitoria is peculiarly happy in her possession of Vaudeville and Moving Picture attractions. The New Grand Theatre and Pantages' Theatre both cater to a critical public, and be it remembered to a public which will not brook any license in the turns produced, and any doubting Thomas who is sceptical as to their popularity need only watch the crowds on a Saturday night waiting for the fir.st performance to finish, to be convinced. At either of these houses may be met every class of Victoria society. There is no need for paterfamilias to scan the programme first, or have the evidence of his own eyes that there will be nothing to offend against the dictates of good taste. That day has past, and for a dollar he can give four members of his family an enjoyable evening, whilst he goes off to the club for his rubber, unless he is wise enough to join the party himself. Then we have three regular Moving Picture shows of excellent quality, to say nothing of the Victoria Theatre, which on "off" nights combines the Biograph with amateur turns. Romano's, the Empress, the Majestic, all situated within a stone's throw of the centre of the City, and all providing amusing and instructive pictures. If I were father of a family I should make a point of allowing each of my children 40 cents a week to make the round of these houses, because I am convinced that a great deal of general information can be thus gathered. For instance, at the Victoria Theatre this week there is a panoramic view of the Isthmus of Panama, showing the work of excavation. Lately at one of the other three houses, I forget precisely which, there was a scene from "The Sign of the Cross," which was calculated to give children a very good idea of customs, both in dress and architecture, of the Roman Empire. Every house has at least one turn taken from early history, such as scenes from "The Three Musketeers," or some plot of Crom- wellian days. Knowledge gained in this way is absorbe unconsciously and is far more likely to remain in the mind of the observer, than the daily lesson ground out by routine. In my opinion these shows do a great deal of good, moreover by keeping children off the streets. By the time the performance is over, it is time for them to be home, and they know it, and if their parents do not enforce it, thc latter have only themselves to blame. The show has kept them out of mischief during the earlier part of the evening, and has provided them with good, healthy amusement. That the modern Vaudeville stage and thc modern Moving Picture show is one of the happiest instances of evolution in our present day civilization is thc firm conviction of BOHEMIAN.

The Test "The Test," by Jules Eckert Goodman, is easily the best play Blanche Walsh has ever presented, and this will seem a broad statement to those who saw her in "Resurrection," "The Woman in the Case," and "The Kreut- zer Sonata." Her new offering is a wonderful piece of stage literature, touched here and there with genius, sparkling at times with epigrams, always interesting, never mediocre. You may or may not like the theme, for morality is an unpopular subject; yet when served by Mr. Goodman in "The Test" the rough edges, somehow, seem to be missing. It is certainly the most wholesome play we have had dealing with a similar subject. It can harm no one, but it does considerable power for good. The much mooted question "Is a man's sin to be forgiven while a woman's sin is beyond the pale?" forms the basis of the drama, which is played in a distinctly modern setting, with the scenes laid in New York. Emma Eltynge has sinner to save the man she loves, Frederick McVanc, having told her if she will yield to him he will save Dick Tretman from prison. To this thc girl consents, but McVanc proves false and Tretman goes to prison for ten years. At thc time the play opens Emma has fallen in love with a novelist, Arthur Thone, who has rented apartments on the East Side that. he may study that phase of life, which he hopes to incorporate in a new novel he is writing. She tells Thone her past, and he, with broad views of life, asks her to marry him. At the same time Thone's sister Peggy has fallen in love with McVanc and is trying to secure the novelist's consent to the marriage. At a crucial moment Tretman, ignorant of the sacrifice Emma has made ten years before, turns up, having served out his sentence. Hc believes Emma has been false to him, but in one of the most dramatic scenes in the play she tells him the truth. In portraying the role of Emma Eltynge, Miss Walsh easily sustains her reputation as America's foremost emotional actress. The part is one which requires not only the touch of a great artist, but no little reserve power, and Miss Walsh arises to every occasion in a manner which wins for her the most hearty commendation from her audience. Appreciated Under the caption of "Canada's Light" a recent issue of The Standard of Empire, London, England, has the following kindly appreciation of a local publication: "That excellent Vancouver magazine 'Westward Ho,' never shows any sign of flagging in the patriotic work it does. It produces a purely Canadian journal of first-class interest throughout, and in doing so serves Canada's interests well. In the current issue Mr. T. Johnson Stewart strikes a full C major note as follows:— " 'Greatness will be thrust on Canada. There is no escaping our destiny. And if judicious advertising can make impossible some of the sores that afflict the body politic of our Big Brother south of the 49th parallel, then it would be well to call the genius of the advertising profession to our aid. The immense and practically untapped resources of our country demand strong and fearless men of our own breed—if possible— and a broad and enlightened expenditure of capital. Of the two the strong men are the more necessary, for the simple and conclusive reason that all wealth is the product of labour. " 'Let's advertise in other lands for the men and women we want—the people we must have. The voice of sagacious statesmanship and civilization alike calls for men and women of the Anglo-Saxon race, for British institutions must be extended and preserved ta all hazards. "'The search for desirable citizens should be robbed of every vestige of mercenary motives on the part of immigration agents. Canada is big enough and rich enough to tell the simple truth about the opportunities she offers without adding a single dollar to the cost of the worthy immigrant's ticket.' "Westward Ho! ought to be widely read in Great Britain and east and west of Canada." CORRESPONDENCE Better Prices for Fruits The Editor of The Week: Sir,—I am glad to see a letter from "En Avant" in your issue of 8th inst. practically endorsing my scheme. His idea of bringing the fruit to the packing station is what I had in mind for the smaller orchard owners, whilst a visiting gang of packers would in most cases suit the larger orchardists better. I doubt, however, if the spot cash payment would appeal to the Government. For one thing it is impossible to forecast the market, and, one year, the Government might get left, whereas, in a year like the present, the fruit growers would be the losers, and dissatisfied. Besides, if the Government went into the buying and selling business, with a view to making a profit, the vested interests of the Co-operative Associations and of the wholesale fruit sellers would be interfered with. My suggestions were made on the lines of non-interference with these, and with the object of getting them all to pull together. One of the details of my scheme was the advancing of a certain amount of money on the fruit when received at the station, the balance to be paid when the returns came in. This would keep the growers from waiting too long for their money. The proper way to bring this scheme before the Government is undoubtedly by petition, as it would be unfair to expect them to do anything THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 32, 1910 * FURNITURE FOR THE DINING ROOM The dining-room—the room where family and friends congregate so often—should be attractively furnished.

FURNISHERS OF HOMES HOTELS rt CLUBS SINCE 1862 AT VIOTORIA, B.O. until the people showed that they really wanted it. Of course it would be optional with the fruit growers whether they did not, though the higher prices would appeal to them. Remember that Oregan orchardists are making from $500 to $1,500 per acre for apples, thanks entirely to their system of co-operation, and the hearty way in which the growers pull together. "En Avant" appears to be as progressive as his name would suggest, and I fell assured that if he and others like him will take the matter up it can be brought to a successful issue, for I am satisfied the Government will support any business-like plans that may be suggested to them. W. J. L. HAMILTON. South Salt Spring, B.C. What's In a Name That there is a great deal in a name may be seen by anyone who is fortunate enough to gain possession of a new book, which will shortly be on the market, entitled "British Columbia Coast Names." Captain Walbran, the author of this volume, has devoted much earnest study, and much hard labour to issue a volume, which will do a great deal to familiarise the dwellers in British Columbia with the historical circumstances which have resulted in the nomenclature of places. Amongst all aboriginal races names havc a large connection with history; the latter may be real or fabled. Capt. Walbran has made it his business to investigate with a praiseworthy thoroughness the origin of these names, and his labour has placed the Province under an obligation to him. Probably there is no other man better fitted for work of this kind, and when the book is found on the shelves of the bookstores, there will doubtless be many who will be glad to take advantage of an opportunity to study something NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS Beresford School Sealed Tenders, superscribed "Tender for School-house at Beresford, B.C.," will be received by the Honourable the Minister of Public Works up to noon of Tuesday, the 26th day of January, 1910, for the erection and completion of a small one-room frame school house at Beresford in the Kamloops Electoral District.

A A B. -■■- jan 1 ^Wi- THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1910 Why Don t You Use a Gas Range? WE ARE OFFERING BIG REDUCTIONS THIS MONTH Much time is wasted in chopping "kindling" for coal or wood stoves, and carrying dusty coal or ashes backwards and forwards. A kitchen where a gas stove is in use is always tidy, should be spic and span. Quick as a wink you have your fire without trouble of building—turn off the gas tap and it is out; drudgery, worry and money saved. The lower oven in a Gas Eange is a wonder-worker for roasts and broilings; juices of the meat are retained; both sides of a steak are broiled in four minutes at a trifling expense. With coal half the juice is lost, the cost is one-third more and the inconvenience, dirt and worry can never be figured. There is great comfort, too, in good Gas heat. Without any bother you can quickly warm a cold or chilly room or hallway with a Gas Radiator or Gas Grate. There may be some particular room in your house that you cannot heat easily with a furnace and impracticable to use a wood or coal stove. This difficulty is easily overcome with a Gas Heater. In any room gas imparts a healthful warmth and cosiness at minimum expense. No smell, no smoke, no dust, no work, but all heat where you want it and when you want it. No fear of fires from over-heated flues for'those sensible people who cook with gas. You are most cordially welcome to visit our showrooms whether you desire to purchase or merely to look.
