NO THE WEEK, SATUEDAT, SEPTEMBER 10, 1910 qOnb^ollae Pee Annum IE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC IMr. Smitliers, Mr. C. M. Hays, and fr large attendant party, have visited ftoria, Prince Rupert and the Western of the Skeena river, and have gone lit, and it is not an unfair paraphrase of J situation to say that they have "shaken I dust from off their feet as a testimony" linst the Government of British Colum- j and all its Avorks. A close student of |T. P. affairs must realize that a crisis heen reached, and to understand the |is thoroughly it is necessary to go back years, to the time Avhen Mr. C. W. Irse told Premier McBride that unless [got a land grant for building across Itish Columbia, he would build when it led him and not before. Mr. McBride him to go to OttaAva. He went, his shadow has never since darkened |doors of the Government offices in Vic- la. He Avas succeeded by a much wiser shrewder man in Mr. William Wain- »ht, who abandoned the autocratic posi- assumed by Mr. Morse and found Mr. McBride was reasonable, intent ■ on protecting the interests of the Pro- he. Consequently, Mr. Wainwright nothing about a land grant, and noth- about a modification of the clause Ich prohibits the employment of bntal labour. He confined himself to [discussion of important detail business |3ting wharves, terminals and transport- In facilities, and Avith the able assist- |) of Mr. D'Arcy Tate, the Company's Mor, Avas able to carry all his negotia- [8 to a successful issue. But still the lie of actually constructing the G. T. P. Ilritish Columbia made little or no pro- Is. After six years the Company has I constructed 50 iniles of railway, ami Smitjiers and Mr. Hays have left Itoria with the definite statement that ■ cannot obtain labor, and that the date Jthe completion of the railway must be |*irded as indefinitely postponed, but at rate would not be within the next Ir or five years. Mr. Smithers under- to lecture the Premier of the Prov- !*_., as if he were responsible for the ti passe," and he had the bad judgment Tecite a "miserrimus" on the unproduc- Ipness of the old Grand Trunk stock lich he said had not paid a dividend in lyears. If this had anything to do with I case, which it had not, it Avould be very jty to shew Mr. Smithers why for half a Itury the Grand Trunk has failed to pay dividend on common stock. Mr. Suiith- I seems to be as ignorant on this point Itvas Sir Henry Tyler during the many iu's in which he occupied the position of lieral Manager; but all Canadians, aud pew Englishmen, knoAV that it has been worst-managed railway in the world, |i'se even the Intercolonial, and the El Jrado of boodlers and grafters of every Id. But let that pass. The Week would Mr. Smithers' attention to the fact It although the Grand Trunk in Canada been an operating system for more |n half a century, it has already been far |passed in earning capacity and in pro- ]by the despised Canadian Northern, an [prprise which has not passed the pay- stage more than two years. To gi\'e Je idea of the lethargy of the Grand ink, Avith its half-century of experience panada, and with an opportunity of jfing AVest long ago if its management , possessed the intelligence and enter- jie of other companies it is only neces- X to quote the following figures: For |year ending June 30, the gross earn- ,.' of the C. P. R. were $94,990,000; ihe Canadian Northern $12,921,300, Bi of the Grand Trunk $7,7(10,100. It I's as if the Grand Trunk people are ('g to sheAv the same lack of enterprise lie AVest as they have in the East. Bete they cannot have their oavii Avay and Ice the Provincial Government to fly in the face of the sentiment of the Province and of their own settled policy, they sulk, and go back declaring that the line cannot be built for years to come. Why do they not go to their political fathers at Ottawa and secure the abrogation of those discriminating and un-British immigration regulations which have been the real cause of the shortage of labour, complained of'_ AVhy do the Grand Trunk people find it impossible to do Avhat is easy to Mackenzie & Mann '? Mr. Mann declared that he could get all the white labour he wanted; that he would not think of employing Oriental labour, and both he and Mr. Mackenzie have reiterated, each time they have been in Arictoria, that their system would be completed Avithin the contracted period. Why did not Mr. Smithers be frank with the people of British Columbia, and tell, them that the whole difficulty is inability to finance the project? Why did he not tell them that Foley, Stewart & AVelch and not the G. T. P., had found the money to do all the work that has been done by them in this Province, ancl that the contractors are tired of carrying the Company? Why did he not quote from the speech of the Chairman of the Grand Trunk in April last, Avhen that gentleman endeavoured to allay the fears of the Grand Trunk shareholders that the G. T. P. Avould become a burden on their finances, by assuring thein that "with regard to the question as to whether the obligations for interest would become a liability on the Grand Trunk, it was intended to stave off the formal opening by action of the Governor-Genera! iii Council as long as possible, in order that the liability should not accrue." Indeed, he said that "under its agreement with the Canadian Government the Grand Trunk could probably stave off interest payments for an indefinite time—in fact, until the G. T. P. is in a paying condition." All this is calculated to arouse serious apprehension as to the ability of the G. T. P. to finance the balance of their system to the Pacific Coast. No doubt they Avill get there ultimately, but it is quite evident that, to use a someAvhat vulgar AATestern- ism, they have "bitten off more than they can cheAv"; and it is for OttaAva, AA'hich has seen fit to father a financial scheme that is already proving itself an Herculean task, and not for the Provincial Government, to shoulder the burden. Mean- Avhile, Mr. McBride is to be congratulated on the inception of a competitive scheme which Avill not cost the Province a cent, or cause it to lose an acre of land; which requires no Oriental labour for its carrying out, Avhich is being vigorously tackled at every point of vantage, and Avhich Avill undoubtedly be completed long before the G. T. P., although it started six years later. DRINKING AT MEALS J. T. Clark is getting out an excellent paper iu the Toronto Weekly Star. Typographically, it is inferior to "Saturday Night," which is easily, in this regard and as to its illustrations, the best paper published in the Dominion; but in every other respect, the brilliant young journalist AAdio Avas its editor for tAvo years after the resignation of Mr. Shepparcl, has put the "Star" ahead of its older competitor. The Star is a literary journal, and the editor's love of books and writers crops out on eA'ery page. One of the most interesting features of the paper is a weekly letter by "An Englishman in Toronto." The author is not particularly gifted in poAvcr of expression, but his observation is keen, and, on the Avhole, his judgment sound. This feature attracts Avidespread attention, and furnishes a means by wliieh Canadians can see themselves as others sec them. The editor himself, avIio Avas one of the delegates to tbe London Con vention of Pressmen, recently dealt with a paragraph which appeared in the Overseas Mail on the subject of drinking at meals. The paragraph in question Avas written by a Londoner avIio visited Canada, and AA'ho expressed his great surprise that it Avas not the custom to drink witli meals. He opines that whilst he saAV no intoxicants on the table in Montreal he would have found in England "tAvo or three drinking lager beer, whiskey and soda, or light Avine." The editor of the Star sized up the situation much more accurately when he was in London, and declares that in an English Club similar to the St. James, Montreal, those Avho did not have beer, wine or whiskey Avith their food Avould be the exception; and goes on to say that nothing surprises a Canadian business man on his first trip to London so much as to find that the business men there take a heaA'y midday lunch and drink heartily. The observation is correct, but it should be pointed out, in fairness, that thousands of Englishmen Avho drink intoxicants Avith their meals drink little or nothing at other times; while thousands of Canadians avIio would not be seen Avith a glass of the lightest lager at mealtime will scurry into the back room of a drug store, or through a tobacconist's shop to get to the back room of a saloon, half a dozen times a day. As a matter of dietetics, it can be maintained that the moderate use of intoxicants Avith meals is highly beneficial; it has yet to be demonstrated that the Canadian method of drinking ice-water at table and taking sundry Avhiskeys surreptitiously is a better system from any standpoint. The difference is that the Englishman believes that beer in moderation is good; he is neither ashamed to say so nor to take it. The aA'erage Canadian believes the same, but lacking the courage of his convictions, and being, as he too often is, a slave to some reform convention or. guild, he takes it, on the sly. THE LURE OF GOLD It is about time that the Canadian press, at any rate, made up its mind to tell the truth about SteAvart, the Portland Canal mining district, and the Bitter Creek "Gold Reef." No one wishes to belittle the importance of either, but incalculable harm has already been done, first of all by the "Portland Canal Miner," Avhich sent broadcast the most inflated and unreliable boom literature. Then by certain Vietoria and Arancouver newspaper correspondents avIio furnished their papers in different parts of the Dominion and the States with replicas of the boost "write- up," and later, by tlie London papers Avhich fell into the trap and thinking that they had secured reliable information from their own paid correspondents, did not hesitate to paint the picture in the gaudiest colours. The bubble Avas pricked Avhen .Mr. AV. R. Brock, head of tlie Dominion Geological Department, and Mr. ]{. G. McConnell, an eminent and reliable Geologist, stated the facts of the case, bused upon their oavii knowledge of the country and a special investigation of the alleged discovery. Briefly, they declared that the Portland Canal district had a number of good prospects, and shcAvcd a fair chance of becoming a paying camp; that the Bitter Creek reef was in no* sense a free gold proposition, but an ordinary chalcopyrife ore deposit, carrying some gold ut the surface, Avhich could be easily extracted be- ciuise the ore Avas leached, but becoming base metal a very I'cav feet beloAV the grassroots, and thereafter requiring smelting treatment. Assays mude by reliable as- sayers gave a gold value of $15.00 per ton. These are the facts, as far as they have been ascertained to date. Yet, after all this lias been published far and wide, and the "Portland Canal Miner" has been compelled to moderate its statements, the cam paign for boosting the district still goes merrily forward on the same illegitimate lines on Avhich it Avas started. A Toronto paper of the 27th nit. devotes half a page to a most extravagant "write-up." The caption reads as folloAvs: "RICH GOLD STRIKE LURES MIXERS IN MULTITUDES TO STEAVART CITY, BRITISH COLUMBIA'S NEW GOLD CAMP. A REEF OF GOLD-BEARING ORE, MANY MILES IN LENGTH AND 2,000 FEET AVIDE— THE REGION OF THE MOTHER LODE OF KLONDIKE—AMAZING MINERAL WEALTH HIDDEN IN THE MOUNTAINS." The article goes on to say that "SteAvart City has an equal latitude with Edinburgh. It looks out on an open, ice-free winter harbor. The population has jumped from 1,500 fo 5,000. It is estimated that in the first three AAreeks after the report of the discovery 15,000 persons A\7ere on their Avay to the fields. The "Prince Rupert" is taking close to 400 passengers every feAV days. A single property has shewn $25,000,000 worth of gojkl." The writer of the article says it is^jquite true that "gold found at the head.;*of the Canal is assaying $900 to the ton.,,*" But gold is not everything. We are told that "not far aAvay are mountains with Avhole cliffs of copper, so nearly pure that it has to be got out wi th dynamite." But even gold and copper do not exhaust, the ascertained limits of this marvellous Avealth, for the veracious correspondent says that "the pur-. est mica can be got, but so far nobody has been able, owing to the swiftness of the current to go down the canyon and bring out the mica, which from its purity and the high price it brings is apparently even more valuable than gold." The foregoing are only a few of the extraordinary attractions of the SteAvart country as outlined in a special, illustrated article iu a paper of. no less standing than the Toronto Star, and accepted and printed by that journal, evidently in good faith. To contemplate such a picture is enough to make the angels Aveep. There isn't a schoolboy in British Columbia avIio doesn't knoAV that the Avhole thing from beginning to end is mere poppy-cock. The "reef of gold-bearing ore, many miles in length and 2,000 feet wide," is correctly described by the Dominion Geologists. If this is the "region of the Mother Lode of Klondike," it Avould be interesting to knoAV how the connection is traced over the intervening distance of more than 1,000 miles. The "equal latitude with Edinburgh" possesses just the same value as the statement that AVinnipeg is of equal latitude with Green- Avich. Just what this means will be apparent to anyone who has visited the two places in mid-winter. The "open, ice- free harbor" is frozen solid by November 1st, or thereabouts, and does not thiiAv ont until March or April. Tbe population of Stewart at the time of the Bitter Creek discovery Avas 200, not 1,500, ami has never reached 2,000. not 5,000 us stated. The probability is that less than 1.000 people Avill winter there this year. Just hoAV the Avriter of the article estimated that in the first three Aveeks after the report of the discovery 15,000 persons were on their AA'ay to the fields must forever remain a mystery; but he avus looking far abend, because the first, of the 15,00(1 arrived safely a vveek ago and the advent of "the little stranger"' Avas chronicled in the local press and became a matter of great jubilation to the inhabitants. As to the single property which has shewn "$25,000,000 worth til' gold," it is a pity that the mime isn't mentioned. AU that Tbe Week enn say is that the news had not reached Victoria until the arrival of the Toronto Stnr. Tbe guarantee of the author of the article that (Continued on Page 4) THE WEEK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1910 At The Street Corner By THE LOUNGER I should be ashamed again to refer to the subject of men keeping their hats on when the National Anthem is being played, seeing that I have harped on it, in season and out, but for the fact that the matter was brought to my attention last week by a man hailing from Northern Montana. He told me that he had ahvays understood that Victoria Avas thc most English of all the Canadian cities; "but," he Avent on to say, "I was surprised when I saAV fully half the house at the Victoria Theatre struggling to get out, hat on head, what time the band was playing your National Anthem." This Avas rather a serious indictment, coming as it did from an alien, and from a member, too, of a nation Avhich sets no store on vain forms and ceremonies. Of course, one knoAvs that the offenders are not actuated by any feelings of disloyalty; it is merely thoughtlessness and ignorance. In their youth they did not possess the advantages which their sons iioav have of learning Imperialism and of being taught the meaning of the Flag and the Throne. The Boy Scouts as they groAv to manhood may be trusted to see that their non-military companions will observe thc decencies of life in this respect. In the meantime we can only live in hopes that gradually the example of those avIio have been properly brought up to sIioav respect to the King Avill have a salutary effect on those Avho have not had their advantages. * * * It Avould appear that there is something Avrong Avith the work of the judges at the International Exposition at Vienna Avith respect to their opinion on the British Columbia exhibit, for, as I understand, they have awarded some six medals to the Province, represented there by that Avell-knoAvn sportsman, Mr. Warburton Pike. The gross incompetence Avhich allowed such awards to be made is clearly shown by a letter which appeared in the Times of the 6th inst., signed by one B. W. PoAvell, who hails from Koksilah. Mr. Poav- ell is said to have a great reputation in his oavii locality, which reputation would be greater were the locality larger. His woes are two-fold; first of all he complains that Avith his oavii eyes he saAV the Provincial Exhibit— "a collection of skins, heads, etc., so huddled together as to be unrecognisable even to a frequent visitor to the local museum." His second grief is that the Canadian part of the Exposition struck him as a magnificent piece of advertising for the C. P. R. instead of for Canada. I have no doubt but that Mr. Powell Avas perfectly sincere when he Avrote what he did, but I think that the man in the street Avho has not been to Vienna, would, on the Avhole, prefer to trust the organising ability of Warburton Pike of Avorld-wide reputation than the critical eye of Powell of Koksilah fame. In any case it is inconceivable that if the conditions were ever so remotely allied to thc impression Avhich his letter is calculated to produce, thc judges of such an important Exposition, embracing as it docs trophies from all over thc world, Avould havc shown their appreciation in thc manner mentioned above. * * * I feci rather inclined to congratulate thc Mayor on the exceedingly neat way in whicii hc got out of Ikia'- ing to "dig down" for the band concert on Beacon Hill on Labour Day. After hc had agreed to go halves with Aid. Humber in the philanthropic scheme to provide music for the Aveary wage-earners, it apparently struck hi mthat his promise was going to cost money. That is the worst of acting on impulse; it so often does cost money. But the Mayor found a way out; on learning that the Labour Day Celebration was not coming off, a thing which everybody else had known days beforehand, he satisfied his conscience and his purse by making up his mind that it Avas for this purpose that Aid. Humber had wanted the band. Therefore he rang up the Band-master and called the concert off. Meanwhile a large crowd L>f people Avho had arrived at the Hill and Avere looking forward to a pleasant afternoon listening to the music, had their day spoiled for them. It is just those little acts of thoughtfulncss for others which make gentlemen of the calibre of Mayor Morley so dear to the hearts of their felloAV-citizens. Nobody would have grumbled if in the first place he had refused to contribute half the cost; but having done so he should have kept his Avord. Such pre- A'arication hardly seems to be in line with the character of a moral reformer, that is of the moral reformer as he ought to be, though, alas, it is too often to be found in the modern members of the tribe. * * * A somewhat arbitrary action on the part of a landlord was brought to my notice this week. Presumably the man was acting within his rights, but it seems to me that special provision' might be made to protect tenants under similar conditions. HoAvever, judge for yourselves. There is a saloon in Victoria Avhich some three years ago boasted a most unsavoury reputation; for that very reason it Avas a poorly-paying proposition. A capable man came forward and took it on a three-year lease and in the course of that time raised it to the standard of a first-class house. Noav, the lease having expired, the landlord comes forward and demands three times the rent before renewing the lease. Of course, it is his OAvn property and he has the privilege of asking what he likes, but to my mind action of this kind puts a premium on slack management, and the landlord seems to forget that Avith the reputation of the house the selling A'alue of the property has risen. * * * Next Monday the Avinter season begins; at least that is what it seems like Avhen Ave learn that the ever- popular skating-rink is to re-open under new management. Mr. L. C. PoAvell, who has taken over the rink, announces that he intends to introduce several novelties during the season. The hall has been thoroughly renovated and is in first-class condition. Roller-skating appears to have taken a firm hold on the affections of the people and there can be little doubt but that this Avinter will see the rink Avell filled at all three daily sessions. * * * The opening of another Moving Picture House in Victoria is only another proof of the amazing popularity of this form of theatre-going.* The Crystal Theatre on Broad street, is the latest to enter the lists and to judge from the crowds which have thronged it since its opening, there is room for any number more. Everybody goes to a ioc sIioav now-a-days. The old idea of putting aside one evening in the Aveek for amusement seems to havc gone out of fashion. Personally I am a great believer in the Moving Picture shows. There is often a great deal of trashy stuff shown, but so long as it makes one laugh, Avhat's thc odds? On the other hand a great deal of very useful information is disseminated by their means. Scenes from foreign lands, foreign customs, foreign costumes are all brought right to our doors and for a dime avc can be transplanted to any part of the earth. I can see the time coming when schoolmasters and schoolmistresses will bc a thing of thc past. A powerful person capable of keeping order will pace the classroom and thc pupils will be instructed by a gramophone to the accompaniment of slowly-moving pictures. * * * Great indignation has been expressed at the gross incompetence of those officials who Avere responsible for thc movements of the special excursion train on thc E. & N. Railway last Monday. A large croAvd, determined to celebrate Labour Day, left Victoria on this train; no suitable provision had been made for thc numbers, with the result that thc train was fearfully over-crowded. Thc return journey was made three-quarters of an hour Autumn ailments are liable to drag into the winter, become chronic and disagreeable unless they are promptly treated.

There can be no conceh'able excuse for bringing a crowded train back to the city in darkness; it is bad enough to be croAvded, but Avhen you are crowded in the dark it is enough to spoil every bit of pleasure Avhich may have come your Avay during the day.

Mr. Law will be at the Grand in a dramatic playlet, entitled "At the Threshold," by Jackson D. Haag. The playlet has a novel plot with a spontaneous force, which delineates the innermost part of its beauty and heart appealing interest, lt contains a pretty story that is portrayed with natural sentiment and simple delicacy. The staging of this drama is most artistic with picturesque effects in the setting, representing the library in a modern mansion. The gist of the little story entwined is a father's discovery of a daughter he had believed dead, the mistress of a home he had entered to rob. An accidental disclosure of the woman's name results in the restoration of happiness and prosperity to the burglar. The daughter's rascally suitor figures in the action and there are moments when the dramatic developments have a gripping effect. The daughter learns of the poverty- pinched stranger is none other than her father, whicii is a sort of anticlimax Avhich brings forth a tear. The Queen of Physical Culture is La Belle Meeker, who will amuse and delight the Grand visitors next week with her graceful performance in mid-air and on the stage. Nothing more exquisite and nothing more fascinating has been offered this season than the novelty presented by this beautiful nymph of the air.

Carduus Benedictus BY BOHEMIAN | land with a light which dazzled, but | Mr. Ross lias the greatest claim to the portfolio. He caine in with the first McBride Administration, aud has been one of the most consistent, devoted, and capable supporters of the Government. If Mr. McBride, in the re-arrangement of the Cabinet offices, is able to offer Mr. Ross well deserved promotion, there Avill be nothing but satisfaction among those avIio have followed the latter gentleman's public career, and nothing but advantage to the Government of which he Avould form a I quite agree Avith the Avisdom and perspicacity of the person Avho coined the phrase, "Victoria, the Beautiful." I think that Victoria is beautiful in every sense, and no lover of nature ever tires of basking in its glorious sunshine, of gazing at its blue skies, of drowsing in its sleepy Avoods, or of tossing on its limpid waters. These, however, are but the most obvious forms of beauty which Avould appeal to thc eye of the veriest tyro in nature worship. There are more delicate shades of beauty, known only to the man avIio has betaken himself to paths of solitude and therein studied the rarer and minuter marvels so plentifully strewn around. These are the avoii- ders which, at rare intervals, the outside world hears of from the naturalist, the scientist, or the recluse. David Thorcau may not have many disciples in this degenerate age; the men who are still willing; themselves, to build a but on the slopes of Pine Hill beside a clear stream, and demonstrate by example the possibility of living the "simple life," the Avhile making friends of the birds, the animals, and even the fish—are few and far between; but there are hidden delights Avhich one can enjoy Avithout being a Thoreau, and Avithout migrating to Pine Hill. Thc trouble is that most of us go about with our eyes closed, and many a fairy image, with its seductive and suggestive beauty, floats unseen across the heavens, while Ave are intent on mundane affairs. Such a panorama of beauty may be discerned if the dreamer "lifts his eyes unto the hills," not in search of strength, but of beauty. Many a time I have lain on the cliffs of Beacon Hill, Avatching the chiaroscuro which colors the Olympics when sun and cloud begin their romp. At the first glance, the further shore is banked with dense cloud Avhich looks like a grey Avail, and there is nothing to suggest that it is impalpable. Then, here and there, a splinter breaks through, and a glint of sunshine reveals a rib of thc Olympics penetrating its nebulous mantle. With a little more glow, the splinter enlarges, the mantle is drawn aside, and for the first time, one gets a peep at the serrated, snow-capped ridge of a perfect mountain range. Then the clouds begin their game of hide-and-seek with the sun; sometimes, they shut him out, and again his fierce rays drive them back, and more of the beauty of thc mountain is revealed. Not more exquisite is the famous sunrise on Chamounis., or thc far-famed glories of the Rigi. Perhaps one's bent inclines to rural scenes, and strolling into thc country springtime and summer provide, in the golden broom, a veritable "Field of the cloth of gold"; or in the blue hyacinth, or thc delicate trilium, a carpet of thc woods, daintier and more ■delicate than thc fabled heather- bloom. These, again, however, arc ■the features of the landscape which thousands enjoy, and the beauties of which few of our favored citizens miss. There are still rarer beauties— rarer because caviare to the many, and discernible only, at any rate as to their beauty, by the appreciative and cultured taste. I am thinking of a scene so rare that only once or twice in thc season can it bc witnessed. It comes at a time when summer is Availing, when flowers have lost their brilliance, and leaves are already falling. I should like to picture it as it momentarily flashed across my vision last evening just before sunset, Avhen Old Sol Avas making an expiring effort to flood the distinguished member. civil not too much to reveal against the rosy-hued Western sky myriads upon myriads of downy airships floating in an amber sea, so "aery and faery" as to suggest bubbles in the air whicii might be expected at any moment to burst and leave nothing but a void expanse; so fantastic as to recall those imaginary specs which float across the pupil of the eye and leave but a faint impression on its retina. They conjured up visions of airships and suggestions of natural aviation. Many a Queen Mab rode to the setting sun on a silky chariot of doAvn, only to be followed by millions more of her satellites and admirers. Their trooping was noiseless; their appearance transient; their destination as uncertain as that of the fleecy clouds scudding across the skyline; but they Avere there in all their illimitable and indescribable glory. They filled the air, and overhung the parterres of the Fairfield domain; and though with the stinking of the sun they disappeared, I doubt not their passing left many a trace whereby hereafter the fortunate ones, in years to come, will see a fairer and a greater A'ision than that which blessed my eyes. Seeking to glean from one learned in the lore of flowers, of pollen and of seed the explanation of this wonderful phenomenon, I must own, with ()f t]ie respectiv0 merits 0f the humility, that my ignorance occasion- Goldstveam and Sooke ' water ed the savant much surprise, and he ... , „ • j , „ , „ . , , .. _ propositions, has arrived at a sorroAvfuIly informed me that my 1 l .' .

Mr. Morley says he is a civil engineer, but he, too, has abandoned his profession, though not his pretensions. Both these gifted gentlemen claim that the Water Committee, consisting of the City Council and some dozen of the leading citizens of Victoria, all being, or representing, large property holdings and haA'ing made an extended investigation the common or ordinary "Carduus Lanceolatus." Perish the thought that they could be the latter! Cherish the hope that they may be the former; and, in any event, let us thank a bountiful Providence for adding one other beauty to the many with which Victoria is blessed for the benefit of those Avho have "eyes to see." Above all let us be thankful that our more prosaic affairs are in the hands of men avIio, whilst deaf to the cry "Woodman, spare the tree," are fully alive to the advantages of preserving ancl protecting the "Carduus Benedictus" and the "Carduus Lanceolatus." EDITORIAL (Continued from Page 1) "gold was foundsthe head of tlie Canal assaying $900 to the ton" is surely a mistake, as the Arery lowest grade B. C. gold at $15.00 an ounce, would assay $360,000 to the ton. It should, perhaps, be placed to his credit that in this matter of values he does, for once, err on the side of moderation. As to the "cliffs of copper, so nearly pure that it has to be got out with dynamite," the correspondent Avas probably unaAvare that occasionally "giant powder" is used to vary the monotony. As to the mica, little need be said, since although he knoAvs it is there, and knows it to be more valuable than gold, the "swiftness of the current has rendered it impossible for anyone to go down the canyon" and take a sample. Seriously, one wonders, after reading such an article in the pages of a reputable Eastern paper, what is the real limit of its gullibility. DeRougemont would have had a cinch with its publishers. Meanwhile, such articles are making B. C. ridiculous in the eyes of the investing world, and making it harder every day for honest men to raise the money to test and develop "bona fide" mineral claims. L. Adams, Mr. Ashcroft, and other less conspicuous engineers who have devoted considerable time to the subject. On the ethics of the procedure sanctioned by the Mayor, little need be said. Probably Messrs. Morley and Moore are the only persons who do not consider that the foisting of an unsolicited report, which is really an ex parte statement, on the Council, is a piece of gratuitous impertinence. They are probably the only persons who do not think that it is a Avaste of time to appoint committees and pass upon their reports only to reopen the question at the bidding of any Dick, Tom or Harry who may come along. AVhatever other qualification Mr. Moore may possess, a four months' residence in Victoria is not likely to impress the ratepayers Avith any profound sense of his experience and personal obser- A'ation, especially when competent men who have lived in Victoria 30 or 40 years, and avIio have no axe to grind, haA'e arrived at a different conclusion. The view of The Week is that Mayor Morley has rarely, if ever, been guilty of a more despicable trick than the foisting of Mr. Moore on the Council. Hc admitted that that gentleman Avas "probably looking for something," and he stated in the hearing of several persons— although obviously not for publication—that if the committee thought they Avere going to get tlieir report through in favor of Goldstream, they made a mistake. Mr. Moore may possibly be excused since the mayor admits that he is "looking for something"; but it is difficult to excuse a mayor avIio attempts to discredit the most representative citizens' committee which lias ever acted in a public matter in connection with Victoria's civic affairs.

The Development League has been emphasizing tliis feature, and an effort should certainly be made to justify the representations they haA'e made. This can be done if the fruitgrowers Avill only take a little trouble. The matter is entirely in their hands. If they Avill make entries, and select and pack their best products, then the Victoria Fall Fair of 1910 will yield something in the Avay of a, fruit exhibit whicii "will surprise the visitors. VancouA'er, which is not the centre of a fruitgrowing district, has a special exhibition; it is inconceivable that Victoria Avill be less enterprising. We have the goods; Ave havc not to import them as Vancouver had, and there is therefore no excuse if avo fail to make a mark.

LIMITED Head Salesroom - 652 Yates Street Telephone 2479 Katalla Oil The Amalgamated Development Company of Vancouver recently purchased thc fifty-six claims of the Pacific Coal and Oil Company, generally described as thc English Company, at Katalla, Redwood, Chilcat and NichiAvak, and final papers for the transfer of thc property are now filed. Many other claims are also beneath the wing of the company. It is conceded by the people of Katalla that the Company Avere peculiarly fortunate in securing the English Company's holdings upon the terms they did. Thousands and thousands of dollars had been spent by thc English company in developing their claims, drilling Avells, building excellent roads, tramways and substantial camps and accumulating a great outfit of stores and machinery, and with this development work already done, the Amalgamated Development Company are not only likely to make the first commercial shipments of oil from Alaska to thc markets of the world, but they arc j also likely to remain a controlling factor in the field. They have not ] only got a great range of territory, I but so far as surface indications go, they havc most favored locations in Katalla, Redwood, Chilcat and \'i- clliwak. They arc going in Io reap thc reward of the pioneer work already accomplished, and by energetic administration, by drilling more holes and 'developing claims as yet untouched, except for assessment work, they hope to make Katalla and thc adjacent country one of thc noted centres of the world. Thc live avcIIs already sunk and bubbling with oil are not deep avcIIs as wells go, the deepest being 1,400 feet, and the indications are that it is a deep field, so that a gusher that will startle the oil magnates of older fields may yet bc drilled. The Pacific Coal and Oil Company retired to concentrate their attention upon lhe coal claims which they own; the Amalgamated Development Company stepped in to concentrate their efforts upon the oil and to make it yield large tribute. When thc latter company purchased thc former company's property, they acquired 21 miles of roadway, 2)4 miles of tramway, pumping machinery for three avcIIs. All over the field there arc signs of increasing activity over the exploitation of thc high grade oil of Alaska. The field has had its rebuffs since the first locations in 1897. Fields nearer the market have kept the place in thc chilly background, atlhough the exceptional quality of tht oil has been admitted Now on its merits it will bid for a superior position among oil centres, and in Alaska itself a large market has been created in this age of gasoline-driven machinery. A remarkable point in favor of the products of the Alaskan oil fields, where the flowing Avells of the Amalgamated Development Company are situated, is its extremely high commercial value, as compared with that of other sections of the American continent. For instance, in thc production of gasoline from the crude oil repeated refinements have shown no less than 30 per cent, from the Alaska article as against 5 per cent, from California, 20 per cent from Colorado, 20 per cent, from Pennsylvania, 10 and 15 per cent, from Ohio and from Oklahoma, and 10 per cent, from Wyoming. While thc percentage of gasoline in the product of the Alaska oil fields is the highest on the continent, lhe percentage of illuminating oil is also a most important factor in ils value, being uo less than 40 per cent., as compared with 23, 33 ancl 21 per cents, from the California oil fields. On its percentage of illuminating oil, indeed, lhe product of thc Alaska wells is only surpassed in the United Stales by Colorado, Kansas, Ohoio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania CANADIAN MAGAZINE It takes the form of some reminiscences of a gentleman who was born in Saint Helena and who Avitnessed both ceremonies, and is edited by Doctor A.

Yachting Notes The club house of the Victoria Yacht Club presented quite a lively appearance last Saturday, as everybody Avas making preparations for a cruise. The Labour Day holiday added on to the usual Aveek-end made it Avorth Avhile for the yachtsmen to prepare for a longer trip than usual. The Commodore's yacht "Ailsa" Avas alongside taking stores aboard for a Aveek or more. The duties of the creAv from the captain down to the cook will be performed by Commodore and Mrs. Cuppage, avIio are equally proficient in sailing and engineering respectively. The "Dorothy" set sail Avith Messrs. Langley, Bridgeman and Crease aboard. The "Gypsy" started for Sydney with Messrs. Gibb, Plummer, and Christie. There Avas a fresh breeze bloAving but the "Gypsy" is a very staunch craft and can stand up to everything likely to be encountered in these AA-aters. This season's yachting has been a great success, and it is very gratifying to find in Victoria such a complete revival of the sport Avhich had been a dying issue for so many years.
