No. 18 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1910 One Dollar Per Annum UNDER WHICH KING? The Week has been asked, on several occasions recently, whether the people of British Columbia are to be governed in the future by the-laws which are found on the statute books of the Dominion ancl the Province, enforced by the legally appointed officials of th'-! Government, or whether they are to be subjected to the rule of a self-appointed demagogy which cares little or nothing for constitutional methods, which recks nothing of the traditions of our race, and which is guided solely by the ambition to "do unto others as it would not be done by"—which, reduced to twentieth century American slang, might be simplified as "to do others as it would not be done." Such questions are distinctly pertinent in view of the ascendency of a certain unscrupulous plique which is availing itself of every opportunity, and of every available method fo over-ride tho sober wishes of the com- mmity, and to inflict upon the public its ■jnyn wishes, backed by such force as it is ible to gain by resort to unscrupulous nethods, and by working upon the feelings f those over whom it has a special measure f control by a process of suggestion which, f not hypnotic, is not very far removed herefrom. Victoria has recently had a ;/te of the quality of this dangerous co- erie in the drastic and altogether un*; ailed for machinery which has been (looted under the guise of temperance re- orm. The Province is threatened with a urther development in the same direction Jy the invocation of the Scott Act. The Eastern Press in all the leading cities is ip in arms against the same policy which ias aroused general hostility by the engths to whicii it has been carried. It is lossible to sympathize with every rational .ttempt to cope with drunkenness, gamb- ing, or any other social evil; but it is mpossible not to be alienated from all ympathy with the promoters of these movements when it is found that their ultimate goal is not prevention, but persecu- ion. This feeling is intensified when, as as recently been pointed out by two emin- nt ministers of the gospel who relin- nished their charges, reform movements ave passed into the hands of organized olitical bodies within the churches, who ely for success upon the arts and artifices f the political lobbyist, and who make fie church and its religious affiliations a loak for pursuing notoriety and acquiring ollars. The charge of these ministers pens up a wide subject, wliieh, if purled, would lead to very plain speaking, lit, at the present time, it may bc suffi- fent to point out that thc legitimate liritual work of the churches is becoming jmoralized by being professionalized; id that among tho many causes which lve contributed to the deplorable weakling of the churches during the last (enty years, not one is more conspicuous tin the professionalizing of its practical tivities. It is all very well for the offi- als of these semi-political, semi-church ganizations to say that, after all, they n attain their goal only by popular count, but everyone with experience of man nature and political campaigns ows how easy it is to stampede a demo- icy, especially on a question whicli can , made to do duty in the sacred name 'Reform." There is ample justifica- Hi for the suggestion that it is about time for those who have the real interests of the country at heart, and who are possessed of some appreciation of the rights and priviliges of the British people, ancl some recognition of the traditions of their race, to organize in defence of their privileges against the widespread attempt to reduce them to the status of a flock of sheep willing to follow the leader through any gap so long as he is able to mumble some religious shibboleth. A FAUX PAS Whatever else Roosevelt has succeeded in doing, he has at least, in apparently the most artless manner possible, set the civilized world by the ears, ancl furnished food for columns of reflection in thu leading newspapers of Europe ancl America. This in itself is no mean achievement and it may be a mistake to regard his utterances at the Guildhall in any other light than as the natural effervescence of a man whose dynamic force is possibly greater than that of any other living. Viewed in this light, it is not necessary to offer any criticism. It is not Roosevelt, the President, but Roosevelt, the Man, who, entirely forgetful of the Proverbs in which he was no doubt well grounded in the days of his youth, has, regardless of the fitness of circumstance and time, administered a sort of Sunday School address to the Peers and Commons of England assembled in tlieir National Hall. That any ill consequences can follow need not for a moment be apprehended. Roosevelt's position precludes the possibility; but the whole question becomes one of personal equation, ancl from this point something may well be said. The Week has always entertained the highest opinion of Roosevelt, and believed him to be a great force for goocl, devoting his tremendous energies and lofty ideals to the maintenance of good government and the advancement of whatever he considered would make for the uplifting of the world. It sees no reason to modify its views in this direction, but, unfortunately, it is impossible to regard the "contretemps" in London without a diminished regard for Roosevelt's judgment. Either he is so egotistical as to think that he was a fitting instrument to inform the Britisli people on the fundamentals of their foreign policy, or unprecedented popularity has raised him to sueh a plane of exaltation that he has lost all sense of "the eternal fitness of things," and lias ceased to allow his conduct to bo influenced by considerations which are universally accepted, even by the greatest of men. Whichever conclusion one accepts, the result is the same—Roosevelt may be a great man; he is undoubtedly a great idol; but he himself has taken special care to demonstrate that he has "feet of clay." LUNCHED After about a year's inactivity, the Canadian Club has awakened, and in a spasm of ill-omened activity, made a grab at the first traveller who came along and offered to 'lunch" him. Tlie traveller happened to be Mr. Frederic Villiors, a war correspondent who has done nothing of note during the last twenty years—unless it be a matter of note to follow the example set by such illustrious entertainers as Patti ancl Albani and give a series of farewell performances extending over several decades. It is more than ten years since the writer was inveighled into taking part in one such performance in Montreal, ancl since then Mr. Frederic Villiers has added nothing to his stock of knowledge, and nothing to his experience as a war correspondent, but has become (if possible) more prosy, more garrulous, and more uninteresting. It will forever remain a mystery how the Canadian Club of Victoria was induced to invite him to become its guest, except as a feature in an advertising scheme for a series of lectures in Victoria, Duncan, Ladysmith ancl Nanaimo. Those who attended the luncheon, and those who not having attended the luncheon attended the lecture, are wondering where the Canadian Club is going to draw the line, especially as it is understood that a man who has really done something, and who at the present time is in the eye of the whole world, is not to be entertained by them. Of course, reference is made to Sir Ernest Shackleton. If Mr. Villiers were a person of any importance, it would be worth while calling attention to the complacency with whicli he criticized British foreign policy, and the disin- genuousness with which he tried to "tickle the ears of the groundlings" by picturing a Canadian armj preserving India for the Empire. THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION One of the topics of the week is undoubtedly the protest of English authorities against some of the more drastic provisions of the Canadian immigration laws. The AVeek has been furnished with a copy of the amendments of last Session, and finds that the clause whicli is the occasion of friction is the one under which the Governor General-in-Council is authorized to impose such monetary restrictions on immigrants as he thinks fit. The amount is not prescribed in the Act, but it is understood that the sum of $75.00 has been imposed in the first instance. Roughly, this is fifteen pounds in English money, and everyone knows who knows anything of English immigrants that such an amount would present an insurmountable obstacle to many desirable immigrants. There are many provisions of the Immigration Act to whicli reasonable exception cannot be taken, but it is impossible to resist the conviction that the whole Act is framed rather to meet the wishes of the organized labour unions than to fill the country with desirable immigrants. AVhen every other barrier has been surmounted, this monetary clause is an elastic provision whicli can be stretched to any extent, and to such an extent as absolutely to pre- cent immigration. And therein lies the evil. Sooner or later the Canadian people will have to decide whether the population of the Dominion is to be limited by trades unionism, or whether British-born people are to be allowed to settle in-every part of tlie Empire where their natural qualities would enable thein to perpetuate tlie colonizing faculties of the Anglo-Saxon race. necessity for stringent regulations in the case of men who are less cautious and less considerate. The Week has always been the friend of the motor, but it has never ceased to point out that its worst enemies are those who will not recognize the rights of the public. Something must be done at once, for it is not too much to say that it is becoming unsafe for the owner of a horse to drive his family along the country roads. He will often have to take to the ditch to avoid a collision, and one of the most striking features is the persistency with whicli the driver of an automobile keeps to the middle of the road. The Week would respectfully call the attention of the police authorities to the fact that in New York, Montreal, Toronto and Seattle new regulations of far greater stringency are now being introduced. The amount of the fines is being raised, ancl imprisonment is to be inflicted where heretofore a fine has sufficed. Unfortunately, the fines in Victoria are too inconsiderable to have any weight. The amount should be largely increased, and, in addition, two officers should be assigned to the special duty of detecting scorchers, and equipped with motor-cycles for that purpose. As for Beacon Hill Park, it would be a mistake to acknowledge the inability of the City to enforce its by-laws by excluding motors from the park. They can be regulated if a serious attempt is made. A QUESTION OF CONTROL Everybody is asking whether the new City Engineer has really been given control of his department, or Whether that control is simply nominal and subject to the vagaries of the Mayor. The AVeek will answer thc question: The control is purely nominal. The City Engineer has been prevented from carrying out works of urgency and importance by the express instructions of the Mayor. Aid. Sargison may well wax wroth about Douglas Street, ancl the Solicitor of the City may well refuse to make any statement on the matter unless a stenographer is present, and takes clown "verbatim" what he and the Mayor says. The reason is that he denies having advised the Mayor that "to widen the sidewalks on Douglas Street would invalidate tl _ l>y-lav.." He also denies having told the Mayor that he had written a letter to the Council on the subject and that the letter was "in the mail"; and yet, the .Mayor made bolli these statements to the Council, and by so doing succeeded in getting a reversal of their former vote, and turning down the recommendation of the City Engineer. Some of the aldermen are now talking of fail' play to the City Engineer; they hud better put iheir fool down quickly or they will be too late. MOTORING A regrettable accident, by which a little child was killed this week, has called forth widespread sympathy for the parents and also for Dr. Fraser wdio, by universal consent, is one of the most cautious and considerate of men. That such an accident could happen only emphasizes the absolute DESPOTISM A letter nppenred in the A'ictoria Times of Thursday, signed ",). Couch,'' complaining that the Capital Barber Co. of Government street has discharged two workmen who had declined to work cm the day of the late King's funeral. The charge is almost too serious to be true, and if the letter were not signed The AVeek would be inclined to regard it as a "canard." If true, the Capital Barber Co. should cease to do business under (he Britisli flag. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1910 "TTT At The Street J Corner . _ By THE LOUNdER It is about time that some people in this city were taught that they cannot do exactly as they please. I refer to the custom of wandering about on the sidewalks wheeling bicycles. A bicycle is essentially a machine built to travel on the road and as such has no right on thc sidewalk. If people want to walk on the sidewalk they should leave their bicycles where they can find them again, but in Victoria they walk about on the sidewalk in the principal I street of the town wheeling a, bicycle on the space provided for pe-1 destrians. I should like to see the' performance occurring in a European city. In about as quickly as the proverbial "twinkling of a star" they would find a policeman at their elbow with a notebook requesting their name and address, and he would get it too without any equivocation, or know the reason why. The persons I complain of not only use the path as a cycle track but actually push the wheel of the bicycle into one's back to attract attention, so as to let them know that they wish to pass, and quite resent the idea of going into the road at all. Bicycles are also left outside offices and stores on the sidewalk and block up the passageways of buildings. * * * The vagaries of the climate again made themselves manifest on Tuesday night and a hurricane was blowing. Several boats got blown from their anchorage and people who were sleeping on them found themselves high up on the jetty, or adrift, and realized that "a life on the Ocean wave" with a south-easter blowing, was not all bliss. Apropos of boating it is rather inconvenient to be out at sea in a launch when something goes wrong with the works. A party who were out the other day about five miles had to paddle the boat back using their hands as paddles for some distance till they found some pieces of wood which they improvised into paddles and with the help of these and walking sticks, and anything else which was handy, eventually got back, but it took a lon., time and they were cold, tired, and hungry when they finally landed. The observation car of the B. C. Electric is now running again for the Summer and is apparently well patronised. It is a very good way of seeing the town and outskirts, and the fare, 50 cents, is not excessive fur a three hours' drive with a stop over of 20 minutes at Esquimalt, Oak Bay and the Gorge. It is very much like a theatre without thc roof by the way the seats are arranged, giving the people at the back an uninterrupted view of thc scenery in front, and is high enough to over'ook even the most lofty feminine headgear, in that respect it is ahead of the theatres in London and New York which are at present in thc throes of a discussion anent the matinee hat. * * * The Derby this year, was of course the Derby, nothing could alter the characteristics which go to make up that historic day on the Downs, but there was something lacking, and out of the thousands assembled, there were many who were at the same place the year before and saw the famous victory of Minoru and the tremendous ovation the late King received when he led in the winner. The grandstand was draped, and empty, and altogether there was a gloom which overshadowed thc event. Another good sportsman has just passed away in the person of Captain Claude Champion de Crespigny, D.S.O., at the early age of 36. He was one of the best all round sportsmen in England and immensely popular everywhere. Captain de Crespigny was a familiar figure in the saddle, and a frequent competitor at Steeplechase The name on the Label should be SCHMIDT'S, if you want the best in genuine imported Clarets and Burgundies. They have been on this market for the past fifteen years and stand for the Popular Choice. For sale by all liquor dealers.

He was in the 2nd Life Guards and gained his D. S. O. for rescuing a wounded trooper under heavy fire, in South Africa, during the Boer War. He was aide-deccamp to the Viceroy •of India for two years. * * * A good many English papers are commenting adversely just now on ex-President Roosevelt's criticism on the British administration in Egypt, and resent his remarks that the "big stick" is required in that country. Roosevelt is a keen observer, and that his remarks are justified is very evident to the travelled Britisher. We want a firm hand in Egypt, and not only in Egypt, but India. In these days of maladministration by Governments with a large sprlinkling of "little Englanders" and other insects of that type, and with Keir Hardieism rampant, men who go about preaching sedition to the inhabitants of our further Empire, it is high time that a firm policy was taken in these matters, and a strong man placed in authority, unhampered with red tape and the pusillanimity of a Liberal Government. "What we have, we hold" should be our motto and unless we buck up and get to work we shall not hold anything very long. Conscription is, I see, mooted and it will be the finest thing for the Empire if it is carried out, finest in a good many ways both for the physical part, .ind the uplifting of the Empire generally. Which is best, unemployment or conscription? As long as the world lasts there will be wars and thc sentimentalists who talk about doing away with all wars and submitting everything to arbitration arc talking thc biggest kind of nonsense. What about thc millions of yellow people who arc fast becoming a factor in thc politics of thc world, have they no ambition, and will they bc content to go on as they have been going on for centuries? No, because they are beginning to wake up, and when they arc awake, they will seek- to conquer. It is ancient history and simply resolves itself into the survival of the fittest, and if we allow ourselves to give up now at this stage of the game it will mean that it will become their turn and our downfall. Oh, for the days of Warren Hastings, of Cromer and Kitchener in Egypt, of Milner ancl a few, a very few more like them, who really arc men and not afraid to act before consulting a nondescript Government of political boobies. I wonder if this is a proper subject for the Lounger column?

The film has been secured at great expense direct from London, England, and will be shown for the first time here. The funeral was a magnificent spectacle and was witnessed by immense crowds of people all along the route. It is impossible to attempt to describe the magnificence of the procession, the vehicles, diplomatic representatives of all nations, the brilliant uniforms of the Guards, the dense crowds of silent spectators in deepest mourning, and the drapings of the buildings along the route of procession. The picture will give a lifelike idea of what was actually witnessed by the spectators in London who in some cases paid $500 for one seat on the route of procession. The pictures will be shown in this theatre in suitable surroundings at popular prices. New Grand Theatre A new novelty that comes direct from the London Music Halls, is that of "The (6) English Girls" who are the feature attraction of the Grand programme next week. This act represents the most skilful novelty of its kind in vaudeville. Their feats are not only extraordinarily clever, but the girls work with a finish and precision. These ladies are bound to win favour on this occasion of their American premiere. They are costumed daintily and have a manner of execution that is delightful. In Neil McKinley, the artistic syn- copist of song, who comes here next week, vaudeville can justly claim the cleverest and most delightful of singing comedians. McKinley's extraordinary ability to interest the audience _*y the strength and persuasiveness of i-h voice, is the real foundation of lis success. In the presentation of snycopated melodies, he makes his uidience understand the real meaning af the rag-time melody. William Bovis and Flo Darley are a duo of foreign Musical Comedy stars, who come direct from the Ti- roli theatre, Sydney, Australia. They will present a comedy oddity, entitled "Married." The playlet is replete with amusing complications, productive of constant merriment and its finish is extremely amusing and laughable. There are several musical numbers introduced, featuring Miss Darley's impersonations of various types of women. She is charming and artistic to her finger tips. Two of the cleverest singing and lancing comedians offered to the jrand patrons this season are the Williams Brothers. They are remarkable dancers, for style and exertion and their songs are delightful. For vivacity and attractiveness these >oys are in the Ai class. Dixie Christie, the Girl with the Golden Harp, will make the fifth turn nd there will be the regular song nd moving pictures. Pantages Theatre At this theatre Christine & Hills lay entitled Fate has been played luring the week and the production /as exceedingly good. It is a play aken from Italian life in New York nd is a mixture of tragedy and com- dy. The scenic effect was exceeding- ' good and the different roles were -ell acted. The rest of the perform- lce was vaudeville of first class style. Empress Theatre The films shown at this theatre this eek were well worth seeing and the ribou hunt was one of the most alistic films that can be seen at mov- g picture shows. The man who ok the series of photographs which :re not faked at all must have got thin close range of the caribou, as e movements of the animals were solutely genuine and true. The ateurs still continue to delight the liences with their performances ancl music is as usual first class. Romano Theatre Some exceptionally fine pictures have been shown at Romano's theatre this week and the audiences have been well pleased with the style of performances provided. Next week some pictures of the funeral of the late King will be shown having been procured by the management at enormous expense. Majestic Theatre Large audiences have been the rule all this week at the Majestic, the pictures shown being remarkably good. The yachting episode is a very pretty little story in pictures and was well worth seeing. t YALE LAND DISTRICT District of Yale NOTICE is hereby given that Lewis Hind, of Vietoria, B.C. intends to apply to the Chief Commissioner of Lands for a license to prospect for coal and petroleum on the following described lands, situate on the South Fork of the Tulameen River:—Commencing at a post planted about two miles from and south of the junction of the South Fork and the Tulameen Rivers, and marked "Lewis Hind, S.W.

PRINCIPAL MURRAY, my 28 Secretary to Commission THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1910 The Week A Provincial Review and Magazine, published every Saturday by •THE WEEK" PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED. Published at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER 1208 Government St., Victoria, B.C. W. BLAKEMORE, Editor Two Locks and a Key (By Hilson M. Unsey) "Come over and see us some day next week. You know where we live? If we happen to be out, wait a few minutes. Good-bye." And he hurried down Piccadilly before I had a chance to refuse. That was the first link in my chain of trouble. George Harlesden had been married several months, and lived at Simpson Park. I was present at the wedding, but I had never visited him in his new home. One Wednesday evening, I decided, would be most convenient, and I started out to find Simpson Park. It isn't far from town, but it's a long way to go, for they haven't a good train service, and that hampers one's movements. Eventually, I did arrive at my station, and I soon found Harlesden's house. It was a two-family abode, with a nice garden. I went boldly up to the front door, and rang a bell. No answer. I rang again. No answer. Then I rang the bell belonging to the people who occupied the lower portion of the house. Still no answer. I had come a long way, and I sat down to think matters over carefully. It was while doing this that I discovered 'how hard the front door steps really were. I didn't make the discovery immediately. It took me nearly two hours. Harlesden had said wait. I waited, and watched the man walk down the street. I was going to say the people, but that would be a misrepresentation, because there was only one. He looked terribly lonely, and when he caught sight of me, his face lit up with a smile. Or it might have been the cigar he was smoking. I waited for ten minutes, and then changed to what appeared to be a softer spot on the steps. It wasn't; so, after live minutes there, I changed again. Even this became intolerable after a itme, so I changed once more. It was not until I had worked my way up and down the steps twice in this manner that I thought of my latch-key. A friend had once told me that his key fitted a door across the street. He wasn't a burglar, either. I made my way up to the front door —I was on the bottom step then—and tried the key. Heavens! It fitted! "At last," I said to myself, "I havc struck oil!" I opened the door and gingerly crept upstairs. I was afraid that some of the occupants might have left a dog or two lying about loose. But no! I reached the dining-room in safety, and turned on the light. Harlesden has many faults, but hc certainly knows how to furnish a room comfortably. Also, he smokes good cigars. When I had finished my second cigar—or, rather Harlesden's cigar— I felt drowsy and dropped off to sleep. How long I slept I don't know. Someone woke me by opening the door and walking into thc room. And it wasn't Harlesden. In my half-sleepy condition I made sure that my visitor was a burglar I spoke to him with this belief strongly impressed on my mind. I said: "What are you doing here? It's no use looking for money in this house. There isn't any. And all thc plate is at the bank. Here's a shilling for you. Go away." But he didn't go. He gave me a look that made me feel nervous. Then he spoke. "What are you doing here?" he asked. This being exactly the same remark that I had made, I told him that plagiarism was the most contemptible of crimes. It didn't seem to affect him at all, so I went on to point out the enormity of his offence. As a matter of fact, I was trying to kill time until Harlesden arrived. I didn't feel nervous now. I had nothing worth taking, and the man didn't look like a murderer. He seemed determined not to give mc time, however. Perhaps he thought the judge would do that without his help. He put his head out of the door and shouted: den's, of course—but he was obdurate. Then I pleaded with him. I told him of an imaginary wife and nine imaginary children starving to death in an imaginary garret. I said I would never again attempt to rob a house. Although I threw all the strength of my soul into my words, I failed to move him. I began to get anxious and irritated then. The thought of spending a night in a police-station was distatesful to me. I wondered if the beds would be softer than the door-steps. I worried myself for nearly half- an-hour in this manner. Then Mary returned with the policeman. It seems she discovered him two hundred yards down the road, but he was asleep against a lamp-post. It I said I hadn't had one recently, but I was born somewhere in Cornwall. He put that down. "Name of parents, if any?" he continued. He must have got two questions mixed, and I told him so. It was no use explaining to him. He didn't appreciate it. "Answer my question," he growled deeper than ever. So I said: "None, as far as I know." "Any birth-marks?" No, I told him; no birthmarks, but I had a broken toe. Would he like to see it? He wouldn't, he said; and seemed rather put out at my question. You can't joke with some people. Then he made an awful discovery. Xe IRoi Est Mort. (Written for the Week) Purple and black. Death's ghastly panoply, Like the dull shadows of the falling night, Surround us in their silent majesty. What man so thoughtless and what heart so light But feels the touch of gloom ? Far overhead The flags fly half-mast high, mute signs that show An Empire mourns, mourns that her king is dead. Why is her heart so sad, her step more slow? Because beneath the trappings of the State, The crimson and the ermine and the gold. No puppet moved, but a true king, so great He needed neither crown nor crimson fold To mark him as the King. But not for this Doth she revere his memory. 'Tis not awe That draws her to the bier to humbly kiss The cold dead hand that well upheld the law And toiled obedient to the people's will. Not awe,; but love. Love for the kindly heart That stirred with pity at the sight of ill; Love for his honesty that scorned the part Of canting hypocrite, but stood four-square Before the world; love for his manly soul; Love for the courage that would calmly dare To do its duty, though the death knell toll; Love for the tact that mended what was torn; Love for his smile, his tears—when all is said, Love for the man himself. So let us mourn With black and purple, for the King is dead. W. H. Stokes (Reprinted by request from issue of The Week of May 31st) "Mary!" Mary came slowly upstairs. She was short and stout, and wore an apron. It dawned on mc then that this worthy couple must occupy thc bottom portion of the house, so I explained to them my position. I said I was only waiting for Harlesden. The man turned sternly to the woman, with the air of one who must do his duty at any cost. "Mary," hc said, "fetch a policeman." Now, T didn't want to see a policeman. All I wanted was to be left alone with Harlesden's cigars until Harlesden himself arrived. I explained this to the man, but I failed to convince him. I gave him my card. I talked to him in my pleasantcst manner. I even offered him a cigar—one of Harles- took some time to wake him, and still longer to explain what she wanted. The policeman was naturally stout, and he was so puffed up at capturing a burglar that he appeared to be enormous. He didn't seem very well I versed in his duties, though. I think I he was new to the job. With the aid of what appeared to ■ be a guide-book, which hc dragged I from an inside pocket, he began to question mc. "Name?" he asked, with a sort of growl. I don't like "growly" men, but I told him my name. "Age?" "Thirty-five years, three months, and two days," I said, "I don't know thc exact hour." "Address?" He had got hold of the wrong book. I It seems that the guide he had j been reading from belonged to someone at headquarters. He said he would go and fetch the correct one. He departed, and the man and Mary stood guard over me. The policeman had been tway about ten minutes, when—oh, joy!—I heard the front door open. Harlesden came in, and seemed surprised to see me there. He said to me: "I am glad to see that you managed to persuade Mr. and Mrs. Jasper to entertain you." I told him that they had given me a most cordial reception, and that, although I wanted to leave earlier in thc evening, they insisted on my staying. I could sec that Harlesden was pleased that I hadn't been lonely, and he introduced me to his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Jasper didn't seem so pleased, however. ■■' " I had no intention of saying a word about my experiences to Harlesden, and he would never have known if the policeman hadn't put in an appearance. "I've got it this time," he announced, and flourished a new edition of his instructions over his head. Then he caught sight of Harlesden. "Who are you?" he asked; "a friend of the burglar?" Harlesden nearly dropped in his tracks, and Mrs. Harlesden fainted. Of course, it was necessary then to explain. It seemed that the Jaspers had been dining at the same house with the Harlesdens, had left them there, and were consequently surprised to see gas burning in the upper half of the house. I smoothed things over and made light of my inconvenience. It took about thirty minutes for me to explain, Mrs. Harlesden to recover, and the policeman to drink half-a-pint of—well—something. When it was all over, the policeman retired. He had gone only as far as the front door. He stopped and seemed perplexed. Then he pulled out his instructions to find out what rules governed this particular case. After that he walked slowly j upstairs again. We were naturally astonished to sec j him so soon. On the other hand he had a pleased expression on his face. | He turned to Mr. Jasper and said: "Do you live on the bottom floor?" "I do," replied Mr. Jajsper. "Then," smiled the policeman, "while you've been talking here, your flat has been burgled." And he chuckled delightedly to himself as he made his way back to headquarters to report the occurrence. Stewart Townsite Sale The most successful sale of town site lots ever held in the Province took place on Monday and Tuesday of this week when Mr. Stewart Wil Hams disposed of some- 240 lots by auction at the A. O. U. W. Hall, Victoria. The prices realised rangec from $800 to $10,000 and the average was only slightly under $2,000 per lot Before thc sale was held it was thc opinion of good judges that a tota of $200,000 might be reached so thai the actual result far exceeded expectations. When conditions are takei into account it was undoubtedly ; better sale than the Prince Rupert This may, however, be accounted fot by the fact that the area available for townsite purposes at Stewart ii very limited, thc "everlasting hills' and the "everflowing bare" river con fining the area to very definite ane circumscribed limits. Anyone whe followed the sale will agree that the amount realised might easily hav< been much less but for the conspicu ous ability displayed by the Auc tioneer, who never allowed things t< become dull, and managed to keep tin large company in that state of excite ment and interest which is so essentia to a successful sale. The manner ii which he wheedled that $10,000 bi< for the south-west corner of block will long remain a classic in the an nals of British Columbia auctioneer ing. The result of this sale shouh assure to Victoria and to Mr. Stewarl Williams many future sales of Gov| ernment lands. Coming Events The witty Champ Clark, discussin| the latest political scandal, said: "Some of the testimony was ba<| very bad; in fact, unanswerable. Yo couldn't get around it. It was lik the remark of the new parlor mail The girl was a greenhorn. She didnl know thc pretty daughter was ea gaged to be married, and when til pretty daughter's intended called aftf a week's absence from town, this what the parlor maid said to him: "Miss Minnie you're wantin'? Wl I don't know whether she's in or ni But if you're the young gentleml that was here last night till 12.30 al got caught huggin' and kissin' her | the parlor, why she ain't in to no more, and never will be.'"

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1910 AN ELECTRIC IRON FOR ^^^^__m THE 1^^^^ JUNE BRIDE Would not only make an exceedingly up-to-date present, but it would be an inexpensive gift. It would be appreciable to the majority of brides because it saves money, steps, time and trouble. A great boon, especially during the summer months when it can be attached to the electric light socket of the back porch, where either maid or mistress can iron in comfort on the hottest day. THE HOT POINT ELECTRIC IRON WILL SATISFY ANYONE It satisfies the most critical of laundrymen because it is constructed to meet the exact requirements of laundry service. It has many commendable features that other electric irons do not possess. Prices Complete, $5.00 and $5.35. We give Free Ten Days Trial to Victorians B.C. Electric Railway Co., Limited Cor.

Telephone J 609 At the Street Corner By THE LOUNGER (Continued from Page 2) The so-called reformers and guardians of public morals in the States have sounded the death knell of racing in the State of New York by their victory at Albany. Albeit the success has been achieved by means and methods which would not reflect credit on a Western card sharper or bunco-steerer. The Agnew Hart Bill prohibiting betting at the track having proved a failure last year, an effort was made in the legislature to amend it, so that oral betting, i.e., on the nod would be felonious, and an attempt was made to make owners of thc tracks criminally responsible for breaches of the law at the races, that was in effect—Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt, owner of the Shecpshcad Bay course, could be arrested for permitting gambling if two individuals made a bet of a cigar on a race, even though Mr. Vandcrbelt might have been in France at the time. The opposition to this ridiculous and far-fetched law was so strong that Senator Newcomb, who introduced the measure, agreed to modify it to meet the wishes of thc Jockey Club officials. However, in the end thc original Act was passed. Europe and Canada will benefit by this Act as owners will transfer their studs to those countries where no such ridiculous laws pertain. * * * All who are acquainted with the two gentlemen who figure in this little incident will appreciate to the full the humour of thc situation. It occurred at the sale of Stewart City Government lots this week. Mr. Stewart Williams, the Auctioneer, had made a good start the first day and was on fair terms with himself when he mounted the rostrum the second morning. Mr. Percy Godenrath, the pioneer journalist of the real Northern city, overflowing with that exuberance of spirits for which he is noted, had promised his friends a little fun with the Auctioneer, so when Mr. Williams commenced "The first lot this morning, gentlemen is Lot I, Block i," a voice far down the room re-echoed in perfect symphony, "The first lot this morning gentlemen is Lot i, Block I." The Auctioneer looked slightly annoyed, but quickly recovered his "bonhommie" and proceeded, "Well what shall we begin with?" "Well, what shall we begin with," replied the echo. Still endeavouring to conceal his vexation, Mr. Williams inquiringly called out "Two thousand dollars?" "Two thousand dollars," echoed Mr. Godenrath. "Thank you sir," cried Mr. Williams, "the lot is yours, Mr. Godenrath." Roars of laughter from the company, hurried consultation between Mr. Godenrath and Mr. Pigott, president of the Stewart Company, and subsequent transfer of the lot to that gentleman "just to oblige a friend" so neatly trapped.

Three High Class Banquets HELD IN NEW YORK CITY On April nth last, the Rally and Banquet of the Commercial Travellers' National League was held at the Broadway Central Hotel. On this occasion G. H.

HENRT H. NASH, apl 7 Edward Doyle THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1910 The University—Remarks to the Point! I Senator Macdonald gave a short ddress, first welcoming the commis- ioners to Victoria as distinguished vi- tors as well as a grand jury to dispose f a very important question. "The uestion of climate," he said, "I will ot touch, as not quite relevant, for if e had a Siberian climate or a tropical te University is coming all the same. he question has arisen as to the area land which should be attached to ie University. On this the Com- ission will no doubt be guided by e knowledge of conditions in tlieir vn provinces. Some persons think ty to one hundred acres necessary. do not, as such acreage cannot be und near a town. Students are to Iltivate brains and not potatoes or mips. The advantages of being ar a town will be apparent to all lere churches, libraries, museums d schools can be had as well as a se of supplies, and a contact with ch civilization as we have. Such ing some of the benefits of being ar a town, if a large enough area l be had within or in the suburbs fficient for building and future ad- ions and ample recreation grounds, ar the water for rowing, swimming d fishing is all that is necessary. University is to disseminate knowl- je and light: why then hide it under wshel or relegate it to the back- ods inaccessible to all. A univer- f with such a name as I humbly j to suggest that of "King Edward I University," should be easily ac- sible to citizens, children, tourists strangers. I hope the Govern- nt will conside.r the name I pro- e. It would be a fitting me- rial to a great man, and great King o worked for his people and Na- 1, and died in harness, uch advantages in the suburbs of toria as I have imperfectly de- bed can be had where land and atic exercises can be had. Ample m for all and within easy reach he benefits' a town affords, I hope Commission will give due consid- :ion to these suggestions." 1 Yachting News 'he Victoria Yacht Club is rapidly anizing the programme of events entertainments for the approach- International Regatta to be held Victoria on 4th, Sth and- 6th of f.

(Signed) RICHARD PRICE, my 14 01 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1910 Westward Hoi Magazine In consequence of numerous conflicting statements which have appeared in the daily Press and especially a letter from an individual signing himself "Bram Thompson," Mr. Percy F. Godenrath has requested The Week to state the actual facts in connection with the sale of the Westward Ho! Magazine. Mr. Godenrath started this magazine nearly three years ago, and through good and evil report has stood by it, although this has involved heavy pecuniary sacrifice on his part. He started with insufficient capital, and it says much for his energy and versatility that he has been able to keep it going so long, and at the same time to consistently increase its quality and extend its circulation; in fact it is the only instance on record of a magazine of this calibre, comparing favourably with any published in the West, having been established and worked up to such a degree of excellence without a large amount of capital. It is said that as much as $250,000 has been sunk in the "Pacific Monthly." Some two years ago Mr. Godenrath induced Major MacMillan to put several thousand dollars into the enterprise, but the amount was insufficient to ensure permanent success, and he has for some time been casting about for a purchaser who would be able to handle the proposition thoroughly. He has at last succeeded and has sold out the whole of his interest to Mr. Ricker, the Publicity Manager of the Vancouver Tourist Association. It is understood that Major MacMillan stays with the company, and accepts stock for his investment. A new company will be formed supported by the Vancouver Tourist Association, whose main contribution will be extensive advertising. Mr. Godenrath gets very little cash for his interest, and like most pioneer newspaper men will have to be satisfied with the consciousness that he has started a splendid magazine on a victorious career. He has also been able to return to his personal friends every dollar which they invested in Westward Ho! A MAN OF HATE (Continued from previous Issue) Perhaps a minute passed—perhaps it was an hour—during which neither of us moved. No doubt we both were searching the darkness with intense gaze to catch a dim suggestion of the other's form. Probably it was only a minute, but the nervous strain of it was so horrible, I was forced against my own judgment to shift my feet. And I heard my boots creak. Breaking out into a cloud of cold sweat—to eid so needlessly was an awful prospect!—I checked my movements and waited again, wondering if I had betrayed my whereabouts to him. Still he did not move. . . . Leaning back against the wall, I cautiously unbuttoned and removed my boots, and placed them on the floor noiselessly. Whether the effort of concentrating all my faculties to detect any sound of my own creating dulled my senses to his, or whether he was approaching me silently as a shadow, I cannot guess; but as I straightened myself after putting down my boots, I saw his head and shoulders and an outstretched arm silhouetted by the dark night-sky as hc passed between me and one of the windows. This was my opportunity! Stealthily I crept away towards thc door giving to the passage—noiselessly in my stockinged feet, step by step, almost fancying, in my fear to hurry and my eagerness to be gone, thc finger-tips of his groping hands were touching me, and I could feel his slow breath on thc nape of my neck. I head him stumble against something just as I touched thc handle of the door. I glanced back over my shoulder swiftly and saw him again silhouetted as he stood between mc and another window. Then, abandoning caution and stealth, I gripped the handle, flung open the door, and rushed out into the dimly-lighted passage towards the staircase. On the ground floor I found the night-porter standing at the open hall door talking with a constable. Pulling myself together, I told them what had happened in the fewest words necessary. The constable blew his whistle, and drew his truncheon. In a few seconds a sergeant and another constable joined us, and the five of us hurried up to the fourth floor. The light still shone out into the passage through the glass of my office door. "Now," said the sergeant to the night-porter and one of his men, "you stand there, at the head of the stairs, and if he slips us, and tries to pass you, trip him up. Come along sir," he added to me, and led the way. "This door," I whispered, stopping outside the clerks' room; "that's locked inside." We hurried in, and as the second constable closed the door I switched on the light. The madman was not there, and we hastened into my room. But he was not there either. "Hullo!" exclaimed the sergeant, his quick glance lighting on the open safe. "That's all right," I returned. "That was open." "Well, he's gone, and he certainly didn't pass us on the stairs!" "Hiding on this landing, p'r'aps," suggested the constable. "Must be," said the sergeant crisply. "Sure he's stolen nothing?" The question stung me, and I rushed to the safe and pulled out the lower drawer. "Yes!" I gasped. "Yes! Come! Lady—a lady's jewels! Worth about twelve thousand pounds; left with me as security for a loan." "Method in his madness, I reckon," snarled the sergeant contemptuously. "Guess it was his method of pulling off a big game single-handed." I followed close at his heels as he ran out into the passage. "Seen him?" he cried to the men guarding the staircase. No, they had seen nothing of him, and he was nowhere on the fourth floor. Obviously he had got clown to the second or third floor and hidden there while we rushed up helter- skelter and left the road clear for him. Almost beside myself with chagrin ancl horror at the serious loss I had sustained, I led the way to the ground floor; taking half-flights of stairs at a stride, and rushing heedlessly through the entrance hall to the door, I crashed heavily into a big form which turned back from the still closed door to meet me. "All right, Benjamin; it's a fair cop, curse it!" he growled, shaking me off gently. "I'd thought of everything but that oenfounded door. All right, gov'nor," he added as the police rushed up. "I'll go easy. But in another minute I'd have had it open." "Tat-ta, Benjamin," he said, waving his hand to mc when he stepped out of the door to start a live years' tour of certain prisons. "I don't bear malice. I'm not really a man of hate." COAST LAND DISTRICT District of Coast, Range 1 TAKE NOTICE that I, William Nelson Draper, agent for T. J.

"What makes you think so, dear?" he asked, alarmed, gathering the frail little woman into his arms ancl stroking the thinning hair, as she sobbed out the story of her fears upon his broad shoulder. "Well," she explained, "after I have gotten up, dressed myself ancl tht children, cooked breakfast, washed the dishes, prepared the children for school, strained the new milk ancl set it away to cool, churned and worked the butter, swept ancl dusted, done thc ironing, given baby his bath, cooked dinner and washed the dishes, sewed all afternoon, cooked supper, and washed the dishes, undressed the children and put them to bed, and set down for the evening, I am too tired to do my darning!
