The letter is !/ two sections and as to the first the eek accepts the correction in the me spirit of fairness in which it is itde. Our error consisted in suppos- g that a man of the obvious intel- frence of "R. G. 6." could remain '.ider tlie control of the organization ;ill calling itself the Liberal party, Jiithougli directed locally by the Hon. plliam Templemnn and the staff of Victoria Times. Whilst we unre- iWvedly accept our correspondent's fatement Ihat he has no "pull" we iust demur to his claim that lie has lo "influence.," His whole letter Blows that he holds and can express Kews that must have influence in any pmmunity, since they are based on right conception of the duty of a Patriotic Canadian and a clear under- Banding of the present political situ- fion both in this Province and in the dominion. The second part of "R. ■f. G.'s" letter is a candid and con- Bncing indictment, of the party of Jliich he has been a life-long mem- fr, but which he declines to follow localise it no longer represents the Irinciples for which it stood in the ■ays of its pioneers. lie points out Hat its watchword "Retrenchment I'ld Reform," characterize the policy K the McBride administration rather Ran that of the Liberals, and roundly fcclares that "the present is the first.

All lis is delicious, and reminds ns of (ithing so much as the incident in Testament days of the prophet lio was intended to curse hut who *yed to bless. We hardly expected lat our comment on what looked like le guiding hand of an official Lib would elicit fncts and arguments detrimental to the coterie of poli- |al adventurers who call themselves fiorals, and who undertake to maiiu- «tnre thunder for their deluded folders. "R. G. Or." is not the first Liberal to revolt from the politi- infldelity and indecencies of latter "Reformers"; nor will he be the It. Unless we greatly mistake those ^-constituted leaders of their party lo have engineered a campaign of Mer nnd lies from the Coast Capi- | are already finding that they have tn to the wind and must reap nf whirlwind. There are sufficient t minded and clean minded people Jthe Liberal party to resent such fties, and to refuse to be allied with m. A false charge re-acts, when it 'repeated again nnd again it dis gusts and repels. "R. G. G." is not the only Liberal with intelligence and decency enough to come out and be separate. He gives cogent reasons for his conduct, reasons which we commend to the careful consideration of the Liberal press. They cannot be answered by the throwing of another handful of mud, and therefore we fear are not likely to be answered at all. Meanwhile decent minded people, who have retained some reverence for principles and the political standards to whicli they were educated, and who refuse to take goods bearing a government. This plea is not a frank outspoken one, but the conclusion is inevitable. Either it means that or nothing. It may be briefly paraphrased thus: '' The World always had misgivings as to the success of party lines, it acquiesced unwillingly in deference to the expressed wish of the constituencies, its misgivings were well founded, neither party governs the Province, the Socialists are the dictators, McBride's scalp dangles from their girdle, party government has proved a lamentable failure, ergo, 'terminate it." 'Now this sounds rather funny, passing over the mixed metaphor of the scalping incident which seems a little inappropriate since the Premier still survives and retains his hirsute adornment, one can hardly repress a Torrey By way of offering some Is Torrid, justification for the opinion we have expressed of Dr. Torrey we append in the most conspicuous position we have a recent utterance of this eminently "logical and convincing" revivalist. We make no comment, preferring to leave the gentle and charitable message of the Doctor couched in chaste English, to do its own convincing work. The Doctor said at Ottawa: "I don't know how it is here; but I know how it is in England, and how it is getting to be in the States—how it is becoming the fashion for 'respectable' people to turn their homes into gambling hells; for women to become adepts at bridge and invite young professional men for week- Race According to Dr. C. A. Suicide. Hodgetts, Secretary to the Provincial Board of Health of Ontario, the question of race suicide is becoming acute in that Province, where for years it has flourished unchecked. He declares that he is in possession of statistical information which if given to the world would he astounding and would arouse public sentiment. Our own opinion is that this is the one vi'al problem of the times. It stares us in the face everywhere; it invades tht home and wrecks marital relations'. It drives many a man to folly who under normal and natural conditions would he a good husband and Either. Worse than all, it is demoralizing womanhood, and so striking a blow at the finest instincts of our race and the brightest hopes for its advancement. The woman who purchases the acquiescence of her husband in such a course little recks of the price she will have to pay sooner or later. Narrow The Fourth of July ex- Escape, cursions to Port Angeles are always popular and this year they proved no exception to the rule. The Princess Mny is the best and most comfortable boat ever 1 put on the run, and in that respect no fault could be found with the equipment, but the arrangements for handling passengers left much to he desired. Men and women were allowed to crowd on board long nfter the capacity was taxed to the utmost reasonable limit. More were taken over than could be brought buck within the day. Many persons were slightly iu- jured and one womnn somewhat seriously, and for not a few the day's outing was spoilt by reason of the fact that they were kept waiting at Port Angeles all night for u return boat and finally reached Victoria at .") a.m. The authorities should do better than this next time; the exclusions are popular and they can always count on a large crowd in hot weather. false label, will be apt to ponder the issues so well expressed in "R. G. G.'s" letter and to aceount for the dwindling circulation of the slanderous Victoria Times on the grounds he sets forth. And to think that the bomerang, which led to this expose was the apparently harmless lie, manufactured by the Times, that the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works was hissed at Salt Spring Island! Saving The Vancouver World is Its Face. not altogether devoid of that species of cunning instinct which leads the rat to desert the sinking ship. After having utterly failed to justify any of the slanderous charges it has made against certain members of the McBride Administration and noticing signals of distress flying at various points in the Liberal camp it begins to realize that its campaign of vilification and abuse is doomed to end in failure and that people with a shred of self-respect will refuse to be identified with men who have no policy but to defame their opponents. The admission is obvious throughout a lengthy editorial appearing in Wednesday's issue of the World entitled "Are Party Lines a Failure?" The whole article is an appeal for the abandonment of party lines and the formation of a coalition smile at the guilelessness of the writer who with childish simplicity spreads the net in sight of the bird. The aim is too clear, the purpose too obvious. Having failed to make any impression on the electorate with a series \\ of false charges, face to face with a j period of prosperity never before ap- j proached in the history of the Prov-1 ince, confronted with the repudiation | i and desertion of decent men who find , j their party allegiance strained to the breaking point the World sees that the same is about up and that on party lines they can never hope for a successful issue in the next campaign. So the suggestion is abandon party lines, ostensibly because they have proved a failure in reality because the Government has so entrenched itself in the confidence of the Province that party lines are indeed a failure from the standpoint of the World. This yellow journal has during the last six months given many evidences of senility, this is the most convincing. Tf the World intends to abandon party lines well and good, that Mr, McBride and the loaders of the Conservative party would entertain such an idea is inconeeiva'ble. Some more skilful move than this will have to be made or the World's second plan of campaign will be ns litter a failure as its first. ends and swindle them out of all their money. There has been tragedy after tragedy in what is called high society' of unsuspecting girls inveigled into bridge parties, supposing they are not playing for money, and when the night is over they are required to settle; and there has been more than one suicide, and more than one case, sadder, if possible, than suicide, ns the result.

Clad in their primeval paint and a red blanket apiece, Chief Joe Capilano and Chief Charlie of Cowichan have boarded the great devil-wagon and are now speeding on their way to meet the Little White Father in his big tepee called Buckingham. They expect a hi-yu time, so they told me in confidence, and will return to their tribes greater than they have been, for that they have rubbed noses wilh the muckamuck of the white men and smoked the pipe of peace with him beside his own tent pole. There is no doubt Joe and Charlie will be given a cordial reception. The British public love "colour" and the presence of the noble red man in their midst will recall the thrills of heroism that jarred their marrow when in younger days, they conned the romantic pages of Fenimore Cooper. These children of nature will appeal to their jaded appetites and add a soupcon to society fare, the last olive of a season rapidly dying. The two chiefs have no intention of returning empty-handed nor empty-handed do they go. Of the squaws to them none is so fair as they believe the white maidens to be, and if they con contract alliances with the daughters of chiefs worthy of their state all will be over but the counting of beadwork and blankets. At Kamloops they will hold a pow-vvow with others of their race on this momentous question and the obstacle of religion-will not, as in the petty Anglo-Spanish alliance, debar them from choosing their consorts from among the effetest of the aristocracy of England. Hence there are whisperings behind the smoke-stained canvas of their "hushed seraglios" and to-night many a bereft squaw sits and wonders, gloomy-eyed, if ber couch is to be left unto her desolate, and a foreign maiden is to take her place as chief slave to her dusky lord and master. Joe and Charlie bear with them largesse of carved ivory, painted totem and ornatesl basket work as dowry for tbe women of their choice and mean lo get the worth of their money. These trans-atlantic alliances arc now so fashionable. Btu joking apart, it is certainly a desirable thing that majesty should at times come in contact with tbe rarest material of its wide dominions. The collar, shirt and cuff colonist fails to impress witb that feeling of territorial possession which the primitive aboriginal carries wrapped about him as it were—and often instead of—a garment When the great chief—who knew what's what—called on Victoria the good, he bore with him little but what his mother gave him at birth, but I am sure he was far more convincing and impressive than a whole delegation of badly frock-coated colonials. One feels tbat here is the savage curbed by the bit of empire, a tribute in itself to the truism that Britain rules dominions ever in the eye of tbe sun. The Tongues of Men and Angels. We in Vancouver, as you may have observed from my remarks in earlier issues, look up to our City Fathers, as the nursling looks up to nurse. And very like a nurse, they teach us a language entirely foreign to tbat of the best grammarians and dialeticians. True they do not remark to us "Did'ums" in conciliatory tones, or address us endearingly as "Popsy Wopsy," but they never fail to treat us to an argot of an elder growth. "I guess," said one of these, our pastors and masters, to a delegation thc other day, "It's up to you fellers to make good on this racket. We chaps ain't here for our health. What you giving ns? Skiddoo!" or words to that effect. Now is this kind of thing good for a nursling city, still in the teething stage, and anxious to imbibe erudition as its mother's milk? The slang of the Council Chamber is the slang of the Bowery aud the tenderloin. And, moreover, it is unconscious slang, so the younger generation drinks it in with a firm belief that the aldermen are the Lord's anointed and as kings can do no wrong. The community is tainted with Amcricanese, caught fresh from .those purling brooks of oratory that flow unceasingly from the cigar-stained lips of this congcrie of grace and reverend signors. "Forget It." As I remember in the last issue these old gentlemen who control the vital forces of a city anxious to raise itself to a rather higher level than a Yankee backwoods town, took upon themselves to ignore the existence of Dominion Day and the memory of Confederation, The citizens' money, quoth they, was too precious for them to expend a paltry thousand or so to make glad the hearts of the thousands of guests whom Vancouver entertains each First of July. However, I doubt whether the visitors this year were aware of the fact. Less bloated corporations than the civic, put their hands deep in their pockets and effected Such a lavish display as put any previous celebration to shame. SPORTING COMMENT ON PASSING .EVENTS], - VANCOUVER. The Vancouver Lacrosse Club is feeling rather ashamed of itself at the poor exhibition it put up against New Westminster. The match on Monday was not worth a fraction of the space that was given to it in the daily papers. All that it amounted to was that the Royal City twelve appear to be facile princeps still, and Vancouver needs to put in almost a year's practice before it can trot in the same class. Talking of trotting, the Jockey Club gave the public a card never excelled at the Hastings track. Fortunately, in spite of classic simile, there was very little trotting. This form of horse-racing appeals to but few sportsmen, and is never to be compared in interest to the flat race. The going was good all through the meeting, and I have never seen closer finishes than some of those recorded. We are still waiting to hear the fate of the Mackie trophy. The Wideawake had such a walk-over on Tuesday that it seems impossible, whatever the conditions when the race is sailed over again, that the Gwendolin should come within a mile of her. VICTORIA. Preparations are being made among the J. B. A. A. oarsmen for the trip to Nelson to enter in the rowing races of the N. P. A. 0. Association. The crews will leave here about the 20th in order to get into shape for the races, which take place on June 27th and 28th. His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, James Dunsinuir, has contributed $50 towards the tund for defraying the necessary expenses in connection with sending representatives from the J. B. A. A. to compete. A match has been arranged between the Victoria Hillside and Nanaimo teams, to be played on the afternoon1 of lhe 12th of July at Beacon Hill. The Victoria Hillsides played Nanaimo two games last Sunday and Monday, winning one and losing the other. The local nine are looking forward to the return engagement, when they hope to gain a decisive victory. On Monday evening the local High school nine played a similar Vancouver team at the Terminal City and were defeated. The score was 11 to 4. Local players are looking forward to the final match between the Central and Victoria West teams for the Times trophy with considerable interest. No definite decision has been reached as to when the contest will take place, but next Friday or either next Wednesday or Friday evenings of next week have been suggested. It is hardly probable, however, that it will take place this week. May Sutton, of California, lost the tennis championship of Great Britain on Thursday, which she won last year, being defeated by Miss Douglass by 2-0. The scares were 6-3, 9-7. scratch eleven, although not members of the V. C. G, have all, at one time or another, played cricket, and although not in the best of form, will endeavor to make a good showing against the club eleven. The match will commence at 2 o'clock sharp, and all players are requested to be on hand at that time. The scratch eleven will be composed as follows: H. A. Goward, G. Barraclough, B. Schwengers, C. Schwengers, K. Gillespie, D. Gillespie, E. A. Gallop, Capt. Williams, D. Menzies, C. B. Deaville, and B. G. Monteith. Minto Cud Series. The Shamrocks defeated Souris in the first of the Minto cup series by a score of ten to two. As a result of the match the visitors asked that the second game of the series be called off. Torrey and Alexander. To the Editor of the Week: Sir,—You have strangely misread the published extract from the letter of Dr. Torrey and are almost as much astray in your facts as in your judgment of his character. So far from our "being threatened with a visit," Dr. Torrey distinctly says 'I do not think we can visit the Pacific Coast in the near future." It is true that he adds: "I expect to be there for a few days this summer at a Conference." But this is plainly only a personal visit to some place on this coast, it may be many hundred miles from Victoria. It was my good fortune to work with Moody and Sankey in two of their missions, as well as with Torrey and Alexander, in the great London missions of 1905, and the latter do not suffer by comparison with the former. The men are different in type and sometimes in method, but the message is the same, and so far from Dr. Torrey being a sensationalist as compared with Mr. Moody, he is a stern logician with less of the persuasive element and far more of the convincing force of absolute proof. I cannot help but think that if Dr. Torrey were dead and Mr. Moody alive and at work you would have written a similar paragraph with the names reversed. I presume the allusion to myself is not intended as a compliment, but it is far more acceptable than praise would be in this connection and I thank you for your unintended flattery. Yours sincerely, THOS. W. GLADSTONE. (The editor of The Week sees no reason to alter his opinion that any projected visit of Mr. Torrey to the Coast portends a subsequent mission of which Mr. Gladstone's own admission that he has "worked" with the firm elsewhere would appear to designate him as the agent in advance. The Week has never questioned the bona fides of Mr. Gladstone or the men whom he champions and regrets that he cannot comment on so simple a matter as the one under discussion without resorting to the stock- in-trade of his class, the imputation of improper motives and bad faith. When he undertakes to compare Torrey with Mr. Moody, to the disadvantage of the latter, he classifies bis position as a critic.) The annual club handicap of the Victoria Lawn Tennis Club will commence on Monday afternoon at the courts on Belcher street, when it is expected there will be more competitors than for some years past. The courts have recently been put in very fine condition, and are playing very fast, and some very interesting matches arc looked for. An interesting cricket match will be played at tbe Jubilee grounds Saturday afternoon, when the Victoria Cricket Club will meet a scratch eleven composed of players from the city. The The Autograph Book of Blue. By H. W. Jakeway. She gave him ber book to write in— Her autograph book of blue— And she said: "Write it straight, now, Tommy, And something nice and true." Stiffly and squarely he wrote a line For his queen with the eyes of blue— Proudly, and signed it, "Tommy"— "Maggie, I love you true." A youth came from a college— A student grave and wise- He looked at the little old autograph book; He looked at her true blue eyes. And he scrawled, with cynical smiling, In the old, old book of blue, Of the folly of love, and signed it, "Thomas Reginald Hugh." A man came from his labors, Learned in the school of years; Gazed at the little blue book, and dreamed, And gazed, as he dreamed, through tears. Then be looked and saw her smiling, Witb tears in her eyes of blue. And he wrote and signed it, "Tommy"— "Maggie, I love you true."

SI THE WEEK, SATURDAY. JULY 7, 1906. Corner At The Street j J IBy THB LOUNGER p J, Although most ot my observations I'e at the street corner I sometimes get |,t opportunity of picking up a stray ?m of more than passing interest elsewhere. Such was my experience this eek. I was spending a few days with 1 friend who resides in the pleasantest rt of suburban victoria.. With the nsiderateness of a good host, and not livious of my natural predilection for 'dolce far niente" far into the morn- ; be arranged for coffee, rolls, and Colonist at 11.30 a.m. The coffee fd rolls were in evidence at the ap- inted time—but no Colonist. Force of habit and a long course of London Times at breakfast have so Imlded my constitution that it is as possible for me to eat breakfast with- t the morning news as to eat dinner thottt wine, or salad without oil. En- iry over the telephone elicited the sitive declaration that the paper had :n delivered at the usual hour—5 a.m., t no one had seen it. This experience was repeated for three ys in'succession, the temperature ris- ; each time, until host, guest, manager, livery boy, Chinaman, and all concern- were in a state bordering on frenzy, 1 each was convinced that the other s a confirmed liar of the first order. So seriously was the "entente cor- .ale" strained that, unknown to the 'hers, and being a man of resource, tbe ;anager employed a detective, who post- !l himself in an outbuilding across the lad, overlooking the premises. 1 Promptly at 5 a.m. the delivery boy lipeared, flung a folded Colonist over the pdge on to the lawn and disappeared. I'en minutes after the detective sneaked the hedge and looked over. The paper >ill lay there. He returned to his van- ige point and watched. Tbe next time e looked the paper was missing. He mid hardly believe his eyes. Not a prson had apeared in sight, the front i?or was still locked, the household fleep. Being a man of resource, he hurried wf to the Colonist office, procured anther paper, Hung it on the lawn and I'ouchcd behind the hedge to watch for solution of the mystery. Fifteen iinutes passed, the paper still lay there, en a slight noise under the verandah traded his attention. Slowly a yellow ig emerged, a sort of mongrel-setter- illie, with the predatory instincts of a Ijountain rat. He slunk across the 'own, grabbed the paper, and darted jick to his lair. The mystery was Dived. Search revealed no fewer than (n Colonists carefully spread out on ie canine couch. The delivery boy's iputation for truthfulness and the de- ictive's for sagacity were restored, but hat about the yenow dog? Had it (jen any other paper than the Colonist [ie might have suggested "yellow fess." Yet stray students of psychol- gy might find some suggestion in the vet that among the purloined papers liich the dog had torn open, and laid fipermost, were pictures representing spectively "Adam and Eve as they ,ust have appeared," by Professor Ab- ?tt, of Columbia University; "The Size i An Angel's Wing, with full particu- rs of his weight and height," and "The !urder of a husband by a wife, showing pw to transfix him with a pair of issors." That yellow dog had a nose •r sensation, if not for news. Twice in one week have I journeyed n the gloaming" to the Gorge Park order to see the far-famed London Eoscope and twice have I been fooled, ie only consolation I have is that I f'ts not alone in my folly. Last Mon- y night about 2,000 people were on e same mission bent, at least that was e pretext, but I noticed that while ere were a few murmurings the ma- t'ity of the disappointed ones quickly nsoled themselves, canoe, boat, launch, Gorge Park being the medium, lit has taken me years to understand |iy thc Gorge is such an attraction. I just beginning to learn, which goes (prove that I am "slow," without be- absolutely "sure. But then is a lunger sure of anything? Is he not try much like a waif straying, drifting, j mayhap being buffetted from pillar to Jst'. Useful in an emergency, quite I'e to confide in, because neither supped nor permitted to have feelings, always expected to have a clear head fd an endless fund of experience to jiW on; some bit of philosophy to fit I'ry case, some bridge of safety over 'ry chasm, some sure way out of rv maze—fot others, but no way for iself. He may think, he must not feel. He may hear, he must not speak. He may catch a ray of sunlight, he must not count on the shining. He is only a Lounger, the one that looked on, and at the end—which soon conies—he wakes up from his reverie, the panorama passes, and he is once more lounging at the street corner. My word, isn't that Gorge a fine place? By the way, talking of the Gorge reminds me either that the bathing regulations are defective, or that they are disregarded. Mixed bathing is all right, under proper restrictions; indeed, as far as I am concerned, having Sojourned in the South Sea Islands for six months, I have no very puritanical ideas on the subject. I quite agree with Dorothy in "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," that where the full meaning of "Hon Soit qui mal-y-pense" is understood a pearl necklace or a star and garter are sufficient by way of costume but I am not sure that public opinion has yet reached that sublime stage in Victoria; I would therefore suggest that bathing suits of the clinging diaphanous sort are slightly "de trop," even it only intended for public display. To use a vulgarism the people of Victoria are "up against it." Mayor Morley is zealously prosecuting the milk crusade, his inspector has nabbed a gross offender on my favorite street corner, the milk has been analysed and found to be badly adulterated, the mayor is ready to prosecute, but "In the nice sharp quillets of the law Good faith he is no wiser than a daw." As the hot weather has arrived and excuses for doctoring milk are prevalent it may be a comfort to the citizens to know that more "preservatives" are being sold than ever, and they are getting free acids with their milk, all because there is a doubt as to the strength of the city by-laws; at least, that is the talk at my street corner, and there is god reason to believe that it is true. As I only take milk or cream in my coffee and on my strawberries it does not affect me much, in fact, I am now using claret almost entirely with the latter and like it better, but infants cannot take claret, and there are several in the city. The remarkable popularity of the excursions to Port Angeles on the glorious fourth leads one to aks why these delightful trips are not arranged more frequently during the hot weather, at popular rates. Given a comfortable boat, a moonlight return, and a cheap rate, there would be no difficulty in booking a full complement of passengers at any time. I have lounged in a score of countries on four continents, but none could compare with this for a moonlight excursion. CORRESPONDENCE. Repudiate the Liberal Party. To the Editor of the Week: Living an out-of- the-way life, I have only just seen your issue of June 23, in which you copy my letter to the Times of the 18th, with comments of your own thereon—wondering what compulsion the Times was under to publish a letter controverting its statements in regard to the meeting at Ganges, and what "pull" I had to so compel it. May I say in fairness to the Times, and in a less degree to myself, that I have no position, influence or "pull" whatever, and that it is extremely unlikely that the Times had ever heard of me or knew anything about me. We must unfortunately believe that newspapers arc not always just and fair to political opponents. May we not believe that they sometimes are, and that the Times published a letter from an obsure person, though at variance with its own views, simply from fairness and courtesy? And will you not follow the example of the Times, and make or permit an admission favorable to an opponent? R. G. G. Samuel Island, July 4, 1006. I ask you in courtesy to publish (lie above. Whether (be following opinions seem worth publishing to you and you have room or not I cannot say. Probably not, and it is of little or no importance. Your allusion in your comments on my letter, to a type of Liberalism that is not much in evidence now, prompts me to try and deal as briefly as possible with that matter, one always of genuine concern to myself. "Retrenchment and Reform" have always been two of the leading principles of traditional Liberalism; the need of them always existing. According to my information, the present Government is tbe first in this Province to seriously and honestly adopt these principles and endeavor to act on them, and in other matters, according to my information, its actions arc consistent with true Liberalism. I herefore old-fashioned Liberals, like myself, regarding the substance of things rather than the name, support the policy, however its promoters are named. I have always seen that one of the most pressing needs of the Province was that its finances should be placed on a sound footing, and that it should pay its way like an honest community; and 1 have promised to myself tbat I would support the first Government, Liberal or Conservative, that had the courage to face the unpopular course of raising taxation to meet obligations and fitting expenditure to revenue, so that one might feel the pride of citizenship in an honest country. True Liberalism has always endeavored to keep in touch with the people and to educate them. Since I have been in this Province. I have ever wondered that members of Parliament and politicians only came around in the country at election times, and then too often did little more than abuse the other side and that it has not been the duty and interest of these gentlemen, as in other countries, to oftener meet the electors, educate them on the important questions of the country's welfare, and give them better opportunities of informing themselves on certain matters, also of expressing their views, than those afforded by the weekly paper of one side or the other. In this, credit is due to the present Government, and let others follow their example, rather than cavil at it. The most inspiring ideas of Liberalism at its best have always been to combat monopoly and class-privilege, to broaden down the bases of freedom and equalize, as far as possible, conditions and opportunities for all. Where does one now see monopoly, favoritism, privilege? Among political grafters, in the money power of Governments, and, alas to have to confess it, in Governments with a big majority I The wholesale corrupting of the electorate, the tampering with the machinery of elections, as we have seen it in many instances in the East, tends to sap the very foundations of freedom and to destroy true democracy. All that combats the evils here alluded to is true Liberalism, whatever name it goes by now, and can find inspiration and example in the record's of the Liberalism of old. As an old Liberal, by conviction and heredity, I support the cause, the principles, wherever I can, regardless of persons or of party names. Tbe Times has recently opened its columns to the musings of a "Saanich Hayseed" who, in his prophetic vein, dreams of higher standards all round. May a "hayseed" of much smaller calibre venture the long-pent and unwonted expression of a desire, shared by many other "hayseeds," for higher standards and cleaner methods in public affairs. R. G. G. Samuel Island, July 4, 1906. AT GORGE PARK.-Nightly, London Bioscope. Biggest and Best Moving Picture Show. Opens Monday with Fifth Regiment Band. Husic and Stage. Things are quiet at Victoria in thc theatrical lire. Thespians are taking a rest while tennis, canoeing, and garden partying are having a turn. The new Grand continues to be an attraction, and good houses are the order of the day and night. Although there is nothing this week quite as high-class as Levy's artistic skewing, the entertainment provided by Manager Jamieson has delighted his patrons. Emmett and Rigby have been the attractions, with tlle Hoffmanns a good '.second. At the Victoria there has been one fizzle and one ''success d'estime." Tlle McSweync Stock Co. were not in il, and played to empty benches, as they deserved. Henrietta Crosman essayed the role in Sardott's "Scrap of Paper." rendered famous by Mrs. Kendal, witb questionable success. Miss Crosman has been an acceptable actress, and still has some skill, but she is not cut out for such parts as the one under consideration. The effort to look young and carry off the girlish humor was too palpable, whilst ber make-up was anything but artistic. The support was, to say the least, indifferent, the leading man being a "stick." Altogether Manager Ricketts is to be commiserated with that he did not close tbe season with the Nat Goodwin engagement, which was in every sense a notable success, and one which made the Crosman show look like thirty cents. M. Rosseau, a brilliant young musician who has been residing in Vancouver recerttly, has arrived in Victoria for three months' rest and study. Mr. Benedict Bantlcy, thc Victoria nianist and violinist, has returned from T.eipsic, and was tendered a public reception in Institute Hall on Wednesday evening.

The whirligig of Time certainly brings about sonic curious situations in matters political. Just a little over a year ago, or, to be exact, ('.tiring thc latter part of May and the early pari of June, 1905, The Week had occasion to criticize very adversely the aims and methods of the organization knwon as the B, C. Loggers' Association. That aug- use body was at the time—as we carefully explained to the public—mainly if not entirely composed of one W. H. Higgins (formerly of a certain fame around Chemainus), aud one J. S. Emerson ; but most especially one J. S. Emerson. Mr. Emerson's views were of what might be called a politico-commercial nature, and, through a' little financial transaction, the details, of which, out of a kindly consideration for British Columbia journalistic credit, we will not go into more fully just now, he secured thc support of our dear old friend, the Vancouver World. This, by the way, was not so very difficult. Even at that time you had only to hold up your finger and say 'McBride," and the World would froth at tlle mouth. Of the pitiful end of that campaign there is little need to speak. Tbe apology of the Vancouver World lo Mr. McBride still stands pre-eminent as the most abject piece of 'crawling" and backing down in the history of British Columbian politics. And Mr. Emerson, descried by bis colleagues and newspaper allies, was forced to turn his versatile talents in other directions. This is all ancient history now, and is merely referred lo in so far as it is necessary to remind the public that The *V"cek at that time look a very strong stand against thc B. C. Loggers' Association as represented by Mr. J. S. Emerson. Il was pointed out in these columns that Mr. Emerson's efforts had beeu consistently in the line of disposing of British Columbia's timber resources in such a manner that the province should reap the smallest possible benefit from them and that thc heritage of the people should be given away to strangers. It was pointed out that the strongest opposition to the Act regulating thc export of logs came from the same ominous combination of persons, and that, when the Act was finally passed, the B. C. Loggers' Association— always as represented by Messrs. Higgins and Emerson, bin especially Emerson—made a savage attack on the McBride government for daring to pass an Act which protected a valuable asset of the people of British Columbia from highway robbery "by a band of adventurers and foreigners." All this was carefully explained to the public in tbe columns of tbis journal, together with a few pointed allusions to the past careers of Mr. W. IT Higgins and Mr. J. S. Emerson—more especially Mr. J. S. Emerson. So strongly did The Week 1 r.ndle this matter that some kindly and tenderhearted people thought that its language was much too harsh in regard to thc attitude taken by thc B. C. Loggers' Association as represented by M*. .1. S. Emerson, and absolutely crurl ai regarded its tone towards Mr. Emerson himself. But ''the world"—not the Vancouver World— "do move." On Monday night of last week, or barely a year since the B. C. Loggers' Assoication was attacking the McBride Government tooth and nail, the B. C. Loggers' Assoication held .1 representative meeting in Vancouver and passed the following noteworthy resolution: "That this Association is heartily in accord with the principle of the Scaling Bill passed by the Legislature during the last session and coming into effect on July ist, 1906, and brands as untruthful lhe statements appearing in lhe press from time to time that the loggers of lhe Coast arc against the enforcement of the Act. "That the members of the Association pledge themselves to do all in their power to aid the Government in carrying out the provisions of the Act. "That lhe Association has no knowledge of any of its members past or present, being opposed to the coining in force of the said Act, except Mr. J. S. Emerson, whose opposition dates from his enforced retirement from the presidency of the Association for trying to manipulate the Association to his personal ends." Mr. J. S. Emerson is so much moved by thc last paragraph of this resolution that he is suing the B. C. Loggers' Association for libel. But consider the beautiful revenges of Time! It has taken the B. C. Loggers' Association nearly a year to find out that the Provincial Government and The Week were right in their estimate of Mr. J. S. Emerson, his character, aims and methods! A Despairing Effort. OUR STAFF AND SELVES REST ALL DAY SUNDAY, BUT!! I While we rest, trains are hauling for us carloads of the finest Furniture, Carpets, China, Etc., from East to West. Steamers are racing across the Pacific bringing the richest Rugs and Decorations from the Orient; all of which we will describe in this space in our weekly publicity. N. B.—We buy for cash by the carload, to give our customers bedrock prices. A catalogue containing very valuable information and suggestions for furnishing every room in the house, together with over 1700 illustrations, with a complete alphabetically arranged price list of everything carried in stock, amounting to over 5,000 different articles of furniture and furnishing accessories is yours for the asking. Such, in truth, is the only name to give to the astonishing attempt made by Dr. A. S. Munro, medical inspector and agent of the Dominion Department of the Interior, to prevent the landing at Vancouver last Saturday of Desire Brothier, pet and protege of the Liberal Government, and, like most attempts which are impelled by desperation, it was singularly lacking in judgment and strategy. If the people of Canada had needed anything to convince them that the Dominion Government had, for its own private and personal reasons, seen lit lo let loose this dirty and degraded criminal upon the community, tliat 'evidence has been fully supplied by Dr. Munro's action performed at the orders of his masters in! Ottawa. It may be remarked here, in passing, hat the Liberal party has been apparently frightened out of its wits by the stir caused throughout the West over this unsavory travestie of justice. As a result of their fright, they are condemning themselves afresh with every move they make in the matter. For instance, the Victoria Times of last Wednesday rises to remark, in a passion of fury, that, if anyone said that Dr. Munro acted upon instructions from Ottawa that person did lie most foully, as the Doctor's action was only inspired by a high-souled reverence for thc existing Statutes . This is very rich. If there were any doubt that Dr. Munro received his instructions from Ottawa—which there isj not—the statement of the Times that he did not receive any such instructions has effectually removed it. It must not be supposed that lhe Week is finding fault with Dr. Munro* As the hired servant of the French politicians who rule Canada, he could do no less than obey their orders and strive to assist them in their very natural desire to rescue their own flesh and blood from punishment for a crime which, in French circles, is regarded as a very harmless offence. But the worthy Doctor made one mistake. He attempted to explain. This is fatal. Never try to explain when you are carrying out antoher man's orders. Dr. Munro remarked that in his opin- ian the circumstances of Brotbier's arrival at Vancouver were covered by Section 25 of Chapter 65 of the Statutes, which provides that no morally unclean or vicious person shall be allowed entry into Canada. All of which goes to prove that a good doctor is not necessarily a good lawyer. The clause referred to is for the purpose of restricting undesirable immigration into this country. It docs not apply to criminals in thc bauds of tiie law and accompanied by their guards. Some of our contemporaries are rude enough to hint that Dr. Munro knew all this perfectly well. We prefer to take the more charitable view that, being a medical man and not a legal one, he was merely conversing through bis Panama, and that the exercise of his conmonsense faculties was overwhelmed by that zeal for thc faithful performance of his duties which sits so well on a good and honest public official. Still, it is rather hard on Sir Wilfrid Laurier that the already endangered safety of his friend and compatriot should be still further jeopardized by the well-meaning bungling of an honest but stupid servant bewildered by Ottawa instructions. 1 BADINAGE | *lffl , 8. is* *m 1************************1 Hi* By BOHEMIAN. Years ago I revelled in the pages of an English weekly that purveyed the best jokes, the hottest stories, and thc most delicious tit-bits extant. If there was anything loo spicy for the dailies, or even for lire society journals, you could safely reckon on finding it in the columns of the dear old Pink'un, Those, need less to say, were my salad days, when J ! with keen palate and unsated appetite a I j roving band of true Bohemians sought, j what tasty pabulum they might devour, i I Now, alas, the flavor has gone, and even the Pink'un is sometimes stale, flat, and unprofitable. I Just as I was beginning to despair of ever again finding a substitute a friend made a suggestion, and, strange to relate, his discovery is no hoax, as I half feared. There is a Coast paper which can give all the writers on the Pink'un points in the art of unearthing savory morsels and dishing them up wilh "sauce piquante." If you, too. blase reader, doubt, just get a copy of the Vancouver World for Tuesday last, and read the editorials on the Thaw case—you will be convinced. The middle paragraph is a 'hummer," 1 would reproduce it but that I know the Victoria police read The Week. I All that goes on the courts does not see the light of day, thanks to the con-1 sideraie torgettulness of the much-1 abused pressman. Tn a recent case of burglary, or rather attempted burglary, frustrated by the smartness of Detective Palmer, the chief witness was the wife of lhe man whose house had been the scene of operations. One of the first questions put to the lady was: "At what time of thc night was it that you saw the prisoner in your room?" 1 "About two o'clock," • said the witness. | "Was there a light in the room at that time?" "No; lhe room was quite dark." i "Could you see your husband at your side?" "No, sir." "Then, madam," ob-i served the attorney, his eye gleaming j with triumph, "you will kindly explain 1 to this intelligent jury how it was that j you could see the prisoner and yet | could not see your husband?" "Be-1 cause my husband was at his club," I quietly responded the lady. 1 I never go to church on Sunday from ! conscientious motives. The strongest impelling one is tllat I do not believe in doing myself what I cannot force others to do. As an alternative I have lately satisfied auy scruples I may have had by reading the imported sections of the Sunday Colonist to my landladies' children, one a.bright little boy of ten and lhe other a sweet girlie of eight. I find the special Sunday reading imported from Seattle, printed in special type, and specially illustrated the best 'substitute for the silly old fashioned Bible stories whom nobody now believes, that I have ever come across. They are thoroughly up-to-date, they detail thc latest authentic researches of the most eminent American professors, and as works of art, both literary and pictorial, 1 hey arc simply wonderful—at the price. , It is easy to understand, in view of tbis i monumental historic and religious sup plement, prepared regardless of cos| why such a fight has been made by certain section of the press for the re tention of Sunday papers. What woul there be left worth clinging to if w lost "Grandmother" and the Seatt scripture reader? There would be a aching void which nought could fill; bi for this we should never have know what Adam and Eve really looked lik A salacious contemporary discusses length in its daily columns the questic of "a restricted district" or "total abol lion," in other words the world or tl milenmum. Even a Bohemian, wl may be supposed to have views of h own on such a subject, has not tl hardihood to say more than that tl social evil is under better control Victoria than in any city of its size 1 Canada, probably in the Empire, and yl neither system is in vogue.

Mayor Morley and the City Count have several difficult problems to solv but the knottiest appeared before the the other evening' in the persons of Mi Drosdovitch sind Abe. Why docs 11 the mayor lurry on a solution of tl water question, and settle both matte at once. Not all IS' good stories circulate among my confreres are suitable f publication in tie Sunday Colonist, b thc following L so excellent in its w that I have no hesitation in repeating for the benefit of my readers, and th are many, w'l 1 just dote on "order: A Canadian lady presented to the Si tan of Turkey, quite won his heart her praises of Turkey and its capirJ The monarch when taking leave press| into her band a small case, begging to wear its contents in remembrance 1 her visit.

Despite the beating of drums and wav- jing of flags by Duncan Ross and his I scaramouch brigade the V. V. & E. still I hangs fire. Few men are working on the grade at any point north of the In- ! ternational Boundary line. The first 1 stretch from the line to Keremeos, by far the easiest is not nearly completed, i and now comes the news that the Co- quihuila pass over the Hope Mountains is to be abandoned. This is evident by the fact, that, al- ' though the contour map of the line from I Cloverdale to Princeton has been filed, Messrs. Baldwin and Ambum, railway j engineers for the V. V. & E., left Princeton last week with Luke Gibson as guide I to explore the Hope Mountains and the , upper reaches of the Tulameen river. I The party will endeavor to locate a lower pass than that of the Coquihaila and a thorough investigation of every known [ pass, including the Skagit, will be made. Those in authority are evidently not satisfied with the present survery as being [expensive in construction and operation, Ifacts which the C. P. R. realized thirty [years ago. Fruit Growers Organize. The fruit growers in the vicinity of Kermeos have formed an organization to be known as the Similkameen Fruit Growers' Assoication. Frank Richter, who has one of the finest orchards in Canada, was elected president, as a slight recognition of the valuable service he has rendered this part of the country, by practically demonstrating that tbe choicest kinds of fruit can be grown there. A Good Work. Dr. Fagan's visit to the Okanagan has borne fruit already in many places, tht latest is Summerland, wher a local branch of the B. C. Anti-Tuberculosis Society is under way with Mesdames Robinson, Sutherland and Fysh as a committee to guide its destinies. In the selection of a spot for the proposed sanitarium in this connection, the Okanagan district lias unrivalled claims in the matter of climate and surroundings. A Judicious Appeal. The Week wishes, to emphasize the following remarks taken from a recent {issue of the Cowichan Leader. In a new (country whilst everyone is struggling [to attract population and develop resources the local paper must ever be tbe [most potent agent. 'The Cowihcan Leader has had an ef- [fect in the development of the district [during the past year. That has been [plainly shown by correspondence and [copy taken from its columns. What the [Leader would like is the support of every [loyal citizen in the district. There is [nothing that will help a community more [than a local newspaper." Conrad Heard From. Conrad City although in its infancy ;is growing strong and lusty and will [soon be fairly on its feet. It is prac- Itically the pioneer of mining in tlle ■Windy Arm district which the Provin- Icial Mineralogist believes is destined to Ibecome an important mining centre. The IConrad mining companies are making ta shipment of 54 sacks of ore to Denver, (Colorado, where it will be treated by ■experts for the purpose of ascertaining lthe kind of treatment that will result in extracting the greatest values from the ore at the least expense.

B. C. Fruit. "There is little need for this province to spend money in trying to induce immigrants from other countries lo come here and settle. The best immigration work that British Columbia can do is to develop the fruit-growing industry and to send large quantities of first-class fruit, properly grown, harvested, packed, and shipped, to the Northwest this will bring our own people here as soon as they become tired of the more rigorous climate of the prairies.'" Thus writes Mr. Maxwell Smith, Dominion fruit inspector, in the Britisli Columbia Review. What Is the Matter? In spite of the fact that Editor Deane is working overtime in the endeavor to get ahead of the Daily Canadian he does not seem to have been very successful in consolidating his own party or in producing that atmosphere of serenity which is so essential to success in family councils. So little agreed are the leaders in their attitude towards the immigration policy of the Federal Government that a recent meeting of the Liberal party refused to accept a resolution of their president, A. B. Docksteader, and the meeting had to be adjourned to give time for the excitement to cool. Evidently the Daily Canadian is getting in some educative work and the people are beginning to think. Editor Deane may be right after all, and there may not be room for two papers in Nelson. A Good Car Service. Everyone in Victoria agrees that we have an excellent car service. Few cities of 30,000 population have as good. Thc Vancouver press is now singing the praises of the B. C. E. R. for recent improvements in car supply, and lime schedule. A four minute service is promised to New Westminster in the near future, It pays to secure the goodwill of the community. Arbitrariness is is the bane of most monopolists, but fair treatment is their bulwark. Farewell Reception. E. C. Musgrave, who for six years The Erring One. "No, no," she cried, "it could not be; Those infant eyes would torture me, Though God condoned my simple ways, I could not meet my child's pure gaze."

"Oh, Christ!" she moaned, "could I forget There might be something for me yet, But though both God and man forgave And I should win thc love I crave, The retrospect would drive mc wild— My memory, and my darling child." When Woman drifts from good to bad To make her final fall complete She puts her soul beneath her feet.

E. W. W. Two very great swells, one a young duke and the other a young viscount brushed against each other one night ; the theatre. 1 ne duke, anxious to snut the viscount, pretended to take him for an usher, and said, holding out his hand: "Have you a programme?" Bu the viscount, too quick for the duke, smiled and replied: "Yes, thank you my man; I got one from the othei fellow." f The London Biscope entertainment will positively commence at the Gorge on Monday next. Everything' is now in working order, the machine is running perfectly and the wind-screen which occasioned all the delay has been erected. With the Ponies. The two days' racing nt the Driving Park on June 30th and July 2nd were certainly a success as far ns the quality of the racing, the management and the promptitude with which the events were pulled oft', were concerned. The slim attendance on Saturday and the not very large crowd who attended Monday must he accounted for hy the fact that there were very few local horses entered 'for Uie purses. With the exception of the two driving races the entries were all imported horses and although they were a classy bunch and put up some line finishes, there was a decided lack of interest in the runners. If a few more local gee-gees had been competing, a larger and more enthusiastic crowd would have swelled the receipts, bought more pools and peanuts and altogether helped out socially and financially au otherwise well arranged two-days' sport. Far and away the best event of the meet was the 2:45 trotting race which practically became a match race between Grandpa Hollingshead' famous old horse "B. C. King" and C. A. Harrison's "Mike Director." The only record broken in this event was the age record of the driver, as the venerable owner of the "King" holds all record for "aged" drivers on the world's tracks. Only in such a climate as Victoria possesses would it be possible to find such a well preserved old sportsman of 7(i driving his own horse and winning' three straight heats in finishes where only nerve and skill could have won from the superb driving which mine host Harrison of the Driard gave his now famous bus horse "Mike." In a little over a month's training C. A. Harrison had taken a green horse, worked him out and forced thc pace in a 2:45 class event until the last heat wns clipped oft in the good time of 2:28 2-;"). This time for a half mile track which was not in the best condition for fust work- is certainly not slow and it goes to show what a great victory it was for old Grandpa Hollingshead. The running races were all good and the winners in most of them were hard to pick. The boy on "Mnxlress" rode a line finish on Saturday and "May Holiday" won both the mile events ill I great stvle after the hardest kind of drive right up to the wire.

The additional strain caused by the glare of the sun coupled with the high temperature gives irritation and pain.

News comes from Halifax, N.S., that the Dominion Iron & Steel company have secured a contract for 50,000 tons of sixty pound rails from Mackenzie & Mann, of the C. N. R., for their railway systems east and west. This is thc largest single contract ever secured by any company. Ten years ago this would have been considered the wildest dream. That was before the wizard Whitney appeared on the scene. Such a prediction with reference to Vancouver Isand made today would appear to many just as improbable, yet The Week confidently declares that in less than five years steel rails will be rolled in British Columbia and by that time thc destiny of the Province by the Western Sea will have been determined. A Crumb of Comfort. There are so many drawbacks in connection with the peopling of the Northwest with Doukhobours, Galicians and Buckwenas that it is gratifying to discover one redeeming feature. The Galicians arc beginning to ask for schools. This contrasts very favorably with the action of the Mennonites who settled in Southern Manitoba 25 years ago but whoh ave strenuously resisted every attempt to educate them on Canadian lines. It begins to look as if the great British colonizing mill is still in working order and thottgu it grinds exceedingly slow, it grinds exceedingly small if time be given. make the trip direct to Montreal by the Imperial route in less time than by way of New York. This is truly a notable achievement and one pregnant with meaning for the future of the Dominion. The Horn of Plenty. It does not pay to count one's chickens before they are hatched, but certainly one hundred and sixty favorable reports of the wheat crops in Manitoba and the Northwest ought to justify the feeling of jubilation which pervades farmers, bankers and transportation companies alike. If the reasonable expectations are justified Western Canada will indeed become a land flowing with milk and honey for nothing like its present prosperity has been known even in the palmiest days of American prosperity. It will assuredly be .the time for development of British Columbia on a scale commensurate with its natural resources and possibilities. The Big Push. At last the great railway builders are aroused and for the first time begin to realize the enormous possibilities of the Great West. The funnel of tbe future Canada is the stretch of line between Winnipeg and the lakes. Every bushel of golden grain must be rushed along this steel streak on its way to the hungry peoples of the Empire. The funnel is too narrow and the traffic is congested and all this is to be remedied by enlarging it. On the Canadian Pacific double tracking work betwen Kenora and Fort William there are ten huge steam shovels and 24 work trains engaged. The total cost will be $7,000,000. By October 1, ISO miles of track will be completed and ready for use. On the Fort William section 48 miles will be finished, on the Ignace 55 miles, and on the Kenora 47 miles, Moving With The Times. English financiers are displaying more sympathy with the requirements of Canadian business and are rapidly abandoning old fashioned for up-to-date methods in thc race for supremacy. The Bank of British North America bas in hand a plan whereby a Canadian directorate will be established. This it is understood would not do away wilh the present London board but would rather supplement it. Thc idea of a British institution, such as the Bank of British North America having a Canadian directorate is not altogether new as some of the insurance companies, such for instance as the Liverpool, London & Globe, have a Canadian as well as a British board. A Real Hero. Canada has not made enough of Sherring, yet his performance, in the Marathon race is distinctly and unquestionably the greatest physical feat ever performed by a Canadian. Fancy a slender, narrow yomh with none of the appearance of an athlete running nearly 25 miles against the picked runners of all nations and winning out by sheer pluck and grit, so txhausted that he declares he lost his sight and ran the last 200 yards blindly. Going to Athens at his own expanse, no liberal 'amateur' 'expenses paid, a lad who scored off his own bat and gave Canada the best advertisement the ever had. Sherring is a hero and should be so acclaimed everywhere in the Empire. He is coming as far West as Winnipeg. Will not British Columbia athletic organizations honor themselves by bringing him to the Coast ? A Little Known Author. Bookman who writes the literary notes in the Winnipeg Free Press asks if the H. W. Nevinson who wrote the popular book 'Modem Slavery," is tbe same author who wrote short stories under thc pseudonym of ''N." The writer is pleased to supply the information—the surmise is correct. Mr. Nevinson was, I believe, a Congregationalist minister who left his calling to take up journalism about fifteen ye~rs ago. He lived then in Stafford-hire and spent his time among the miners and ironworkers of the "Black Country". He 'viu- discovered by that brilliant journalist Robertson Nicoll about the time that Barrie became famous. His earliest sketches appeared in the British Weekly and were remarkable for their dramatic power. He soon drifted into regular newspaper work and the "B. W." knew him no more. He is now coming to his own and promises to fill the place of that briliant and powerful writer Harold Frederic, whose "Damnation of Theron Ware" raised the hopes of the critics to the hichest pitch. To the dramatic fore of Frederic Mr. Nevinson adds the refinement and clear vision of Richard Whiting so well exemplified in No. 5 John Street. Good Suggestions. The Week commends to every town in British Columbia tbe following suggestion from the Kamloops Standard: If your shop front, residence or fence is dull or dingy, order it painted. If your awning is old, torn or faded, get a new one. If your sidewalk, fence or gale needs repairing, repair it. If your advertising sign is old and faded, take it down and paint it. Destroy the young weeds that are starling on your property, and your neighbor's property. Resolve never to throw paper in the streets. Take all dandelions out of your lawn —they spoil the beauty of it. Bum all lhe rubbish possible; allow no one in your house to throw it 011 the streets, alloys or vacant lots. Promise not to spit on the sidewalk. Organize a block improvement society, and permit no weeds to grow on sidewalk area, or vacant properly ill your block.

Moville in 5 days. 20 hours and 50 min-1 Illuminate the front of your shop in tttes. This means that Canadians can 'be business section. The Imperial Highway. For many generations the Liverpool- New York has been the popular trans- Atlantic route. Floating palaces making records which ranged from 5 to 6 days have gathered in the cream of the traffic until il bad come to be loked on as a foregone conclusion that Canadians as well as Americans would sail from a United States port and that Canada would be content to cnotinuc her ten- day service witb antiquated vessels. All this has been altered in three short years by the enterprise of the Allans and the C. P. R. When the latter, under the guidance of Mr. Arthur Piers bought ou thc Elder-Dempster line they laid thc foundation for an Atlantic service that should be second to none and stimulated the older firm lo the keenest] competition. The result is seen in llic magnificent achievements of the new j turbine boats the Victorian and Virgin-; ian and the still greater fame of lhe' RUSSELL Model B 16 H. P.
