The annual meeting of the Conservative Party, held in the Institute Hall, on Wed-. nesday night, dealt success- ly with the important business which lermined the control of the local organ- ition for the ensuing year, or, at any ;e, until the next meeting. It is pro- tie that the year will be considerably tailed in pursuance of a resolution car- \d unanimously which favours holding it ;her in the winter than in the summer. iere are many advantages in the proved change, the chief of which are that will be possible to get a much larger d more representative gathering, and it if it is held while the House is in sion the platform can be made more ractive by inviting up-country members attend. A glance at the officers and nniittee chosen is sufficient to show that excellent selection was made, and that fery section of the Party is well repre- lited; the most gratifying feature be- »the substantial representation of neAV- mers by the election of Messrs. Fuller- 1, Perry and Dean. These are three of e * most industrious and consistent rkers in the Party, and their election ould not merely strengthen the organ- ition but consolidate the Conservative te. In Mr. R. F. Green, the new presi- nt, the association has done honour to a m who has served the Party in a Min- erial position and who, as The Week has iquently pointed out, was one of the >st capable and hard-working Ministers 10 has ever held office in British Ool- lbia. ■ In addition Mr. Green is a life- ig politician and an expert organizer, is special ability in this direction has raght him to the front in the Provincial sociation, of whicli he is first Vice- esident, and of which, in the natural ler of things, he will be president next ar. That the election of Mr. Green tp important position of president of the ;al association was desired hy the Party, evidenced by the predominating vote lich he received. Of the Vice-Presidents is impossible to speak too highly. essrs. Bishop, Lewis and Leeson are sily the three most conspicuous workers the rank and file of the Party, and are titled to any honours which it has to er. Of Mr. Price, the Secretary, and r. Tait, the Treasurer, it is unnecessary speak; they possess the unbounded nfidence of every Conservative in Vic- ia, and have earned that confidence by 3-long devotion to the cause. Altogether mservatism in the Capital City may well successful, it,could hardly be otherwise th such a powerful organization and ch capable officers. It would, however, a mistake to lose sight of the fact that 3 Party derives its strength, not merely nn the principles whicli it advocates, and excellent organization which it has Jed into existence, but to the successful 'eminent which it has installed at James ly. If Premier McBride and his col- Igues had failed to "make good," the ist perfect organization would not have Hired the continued success of the ty. They have more than made good, that it is an easy thing for a Conserva- 'e in the Province* of British Columbia wear "a smile tliat will not come off." It is to a sound, good, business-like administration, and a progressive programme that the Conservative Party rallies, and as long as the present standard is maintained it will continue to celebrate repeated victories. Both Captain Tatlow and Mr. Fulton spoke in affectionate terms of Premier McBride, who has succeeded in endearing himself to his colleagues, as much by his personal qualities as by his political success. jNo doubt they had in mind his recent bereavement, which, as those near to him know, touched him very deeply, but Premier McBride is not a man to sacrifice the public interest to personal considerations, and he has kept the harness on, and is still working as strenuously as if he did not require that long looked-for holiday which his best friends hope he will shortly take. Of one thing he may rest assured that he enjoys the undiminished confidence, and will have the united support of a Party which is as appreciative of his services as it is determined to sustain his administration. The important deliverance Dog in the 0f }/[Y_ Tatlow at the an- Manger. nual meeting of the Con servative Association on the subject of the Songhees Reserve, should be read by every British Columbian, not only because it is a complete recital of the facts but because Captain Tatlow is a man who knows nothing of diplomatic phraseology, who always speaks straight out, and who is incapable of distorting or misrepresenting anything within his knowledge. His verdict is that the Provincial Government has done everything in its power to bring about a settlement; that it has removed specific difficulties by its Act of 1907, which defined the rights of the City as well as of the Province, and left the way clear for the Dominion Government to act. He declared further that the right of initiative rests solely at Ottawa, and that whatever arrangements it might be possible for the Province or the City to make, they could not carry anything into effect without the sanction of the Dominion Government. His final declaration, after reviewing the whole subject, was that he was convinced that the Dominion Government was purposely delaying a settlement in order to prevent the Provincial Government from gaining any credit in the matter. If the latter declaration had been made by some irresponsible politician it might pass without comment, but as the deliberate, serious conviction of the Minister of Finance it is entitled to respect. The Week believes thai the people of the Province as a whole will accept the statement of Mr. Tatlow, at any rate until thc Hon. William Templeman and his colleagues prove, by their conduct, either that he has mis-stated the case, or that they have experienced a change of heart. Meanwhile, the Hon. William Templeman's organ makes no attempt to disprove the statement that the Dominion Government acknowledged its responsibility when the Minister of the Interior drafted a compulsory measure during the recent session of Parliament, which, however, had to be abandoned for Imperial reasons. The Colonist argues that the Indians, having no title, can ba dealt with summarily, and declares that it stands just where Sir James Douglas stood fifty years ago, and no doubt if such a thing were possible it would so so, but tlie lapse of fifty years, during which the Indians have enjoyed undisputed possession of the Reserve, is not without its influence on the question. There has been too much red tape about this matter altogether and too much "unearthing" of documents which were never hidden; the matter is far simpler than the politicians are trying to make out. Reduced to its simplest elements it is that the Indians can be moved if necessary by compulsion, that they cannot be moved without compensation, and that the only authority which can move them is the Dominion Government. In any event both parties have a final right of appeal to the Privy Council, and that appeal would quickly be reached if the Dominion Government took the preliminary step of either closing a ■ deal which would be acceptable to the Indians, or forcing the issue. The whole trouble is, as Captain Tatlow says, that the only authority whicli could act steadfastly refuses to do so, except in a manner which is designed to thwart its apparent purpose. The Victoria Times states Taking a ^at British Columbia has Narrow View, the only perambulating Law Courts within the bounds of the Empire, and Victoria is the only Capital against which discrimination is made in the vital matter of education, and .adds: "The reason for this state of affairs has never been explained by any of the loyal Victoria Conservatives when they meet together to eulogize each other and their unapproachable, unconquerable leader, who is the first member for this city." Perhaps the Times will not accept the dictum of The Week on such a matter, or claim that it has any right to speak as representing loyal Conservatives. There are, however, a few considerations which must be obvious to every fair minded man who approaches a consideration of the subject. Without admitting for a moment the accuracy of the statement made by the Times, the latter of which at any rate is untrue, The Week would point out thut the mere fact of Victoria being the Capital of the Province does1 not entitle it to a monopoly of all the favours which a Local Government has to bestow. The Week has always stood up for the interests of the Capital, but it is poor policy to push its claims beyond a reasonable limit, as will presently be shown. Victoria is not the whole Province, and in asserting its own legitimate claims it has no right to ignore those of other cities. To do so tends to weaken and not to strengthen its position. Does not the Times think that the enlightened policy of Premier Davie, in establishing the Pai'liamentBuildingshere, which he only did hy a "tour de force," secured for Victoria a permanent advantage which will not be offset by many minor concessions to Vancouver 2 For instance, would the Times today be willing to see the Parliament Buildings removed to the Terminal City in exchange for a University and the Law Courts in Victoria? If not, it has little ground of complaint with respect tu either of the latter. Does the Times realize that when these arrangements were made the population of Victoria and Vancouver was about equal, whereas today Victoria claims 40,000 as against 95,000 in Vancouver proper? Put it another way, Vancouver Island contains less than 80,000 people. Vancouver City, with Richmond and North Vancouver, must exceed 130,000. It is true that Victoria is growing, but under the most favourable conditions is it possible that Victoria can ever ri-al Vancouver in population? If not, why should we expect to get ahead of Vancouver in the matter of all Government Institutions, and why should we try to make political capital out of the fact that the Government is even- handed in its treatment of public works, and has regard, as it should have, for the wider interests of the Province rather than those of any one city. Has the Times ever figured out the disproportion in the representation of Victoria and district as compared with Vancouver ? The Week touched on this matter in last issue, and showed that the former has one member to every seven thousand inhabitants and the latter one to every eighteen thousand. JSTo doubt this is an anomaly which may easily occur in any Western Province where first one locality and then another is the subject of extraordinary development. The Week believes that in twenty years from now the population of Vancouver Island will be at least a million, and that its representation will in consequence be enormously increased, but meanwhile existing conditions furnish Vancouver with a powerful argument, and would suggest discretion on the part of Victoria in its treatment of grants for public • institutions. All this is not written with any view to depreciate the importance of the Capital, or to weaken its legitimate claim for proper recognition in Government grants and the establishment of public institutions, but it is also written with a sense of fairness to the claims of others and with due recognition of the fact that a government is bound to consider every section of the Province, and holds no special brief for any one city. The Ministers who spoke on Wednesday had no difficulty in showing that Victoria has been well looked after by the McBride Government, far better than by the Hon. William Templeman and his friends, although he gained the seat by a fluke at a by-election purely on the strength of a portfolio that was to have brought innumerable blessings in its train, but which was found to be so essentially a "gold brick" that its purveyor was requested to- move on at the first opportunity, and according to latest account the electors of Comox-Atlin are anxious for him to make another move. Congratulations to Mr. A. B.C.E.R. and x. Goward, Manager of the Jordan River. B.C.E.R, on having carried to a successful issue his negotiations with the city on the subject of the development of the Jordan River water power. The Week has repeatedly urged that the City would be consulting its best interests by closing this matter promptly on the terms offered. By accepting them, or delaying their acceptance, it ran the risk of being served exactly as it is now being served by the Esquimalt Waterworks Company, which, after exhausting all its patience in fruitless negotiations, has finally raised the necessary funds and is embarking upon an outlay for the extension of its system, which will effectually checkmate the City. This is as regrettable as it was unnecessary, ami no one is to blame but the representatives of the Council. When thc ratepayers find that the project of the Esquimalt Waterworks Company, if carried out, will mean good-bye to cheap water, they will realize how gross a blunder has been committed. I THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE i-g, 1909 ■ i* X llusic and J J The Drama.* ififififififififififififif The New York Times has the following to say of "The Servant in thc House," which Mr. Henry Miller will present at the Victoria Theatre on Thursday, June 24th: "A play presenting a universal conflict, developing it visibly in powerfully contrasted human figures, yet revealing with great clearness an underlying spiritual idea—a play thai is at once important in its discussion of ethical idealism as contrasted with worldly expediency, and a play that is all these things and is yet an entertainment for the complicated assemblage which goes to the theatre —this remarkable composite thing Mr. Charles Rami Kennedy has provided in 'The Servant in the House,' presented at the Savoy Theatre yesterday afternoon and received with unmistakable evidences of sincere and general enthusiasm. "It has been freely hinted that 'The Servant in the House' would provide a surprise. But it was hardly to be expected that the surprise woul8 take the nature of such an excellent piece of dramaturgy, which, while no doubt of interest because of the daring employed in the development of its central character—intended to represent the reincarnation of the Son of Man—has more legitimate values in a beautifully developed story and an assemblage of picturesque and sympathetic characters."

General Agents for B.C. and the Yukon District RADIGER & JANION, Sporting Comment The race meeting is still the principal sporting topic and nothing but favourable comment is heard of the admirable manner in which it is being conducted. The second week has passed and still the attendance is not getting any lower, but on the other hand has on several days shown an increase of the corresponding day of last week. This is very encouraging and it is confidently expected that the general public will soon realize that the races are being run entirely on the square, and a fair deal given to every one. This has been shown by the fact that during the week one jockey has been sent back to where he came from for a bad ride, while a couple of others have enjoyed a few days' rest as a result of suspensions for misconduct. Thursday was Ladies' day and the fair sex showed that they enjoy the races as much as the sterner sex as the grand stand was well filled. This afternoon the Derby will be run and, judging from the number of entries, it should be one of the best races of the meeting. Last week I had occasion to refer to the poor car service that was being provided. In this connection a decided improvement has been noticed this week. Every afternoon four cars leave the track immediately after the last race, while another four leave ten minutes later, being held over at the switch near the hospital. These cars will, with few exceptions, carry the crowd to town, everyone reaching town within half an hour after the last race. This is a great help to the Country Club and will no doubt be appreciated. This afternoon, however, will tax thc service to the limit, and it is hoped that as good a service will be given today as has been given throughout the week. * * * The Tecumseh lacrosse team leave Toronto tomorrow for New Westminster, where the players will make a determined effort to lift the Minto Cup which has been resting on the banks of the Fraser river since last summer. This is the second series, in which the Royals of Westminster will have to engage in this season. Already they have met and defeated the Regina team by a large margin and I confidently expect that the Easterners wil! have to return home once more with the same tale to tell. The Vancouver team made a determined effort to win their first game SHE COOKS WITH GAS Because it means the economy of her great grandmother, and the science of modern invention.

The Vancouver Club has gathered together a fair bunch of players, but they will have to go some if they expect to beat the players from the Royal City, even if the latter team is composed of home brews and the others are mostly imported men. w w w A sporting event that is attracting considerable attention is the ten-mile Marathon race that will take place this afternoon. Entries have been received from many outside points and it will be interesting to see what showing the local men will make against their visiting opponents. The race will start and finish at the corner of Yatea and Douglas Street and will no doubt attract a good crowd. w w *. The local baseballers attached two more victories to the list last week when they took two games from the Cubs of Seattle. The visiting team came over with a reputation of being- fast players, but they went home realizing that the Victoria team was just a little bit faster. The locals are now in good shape for playing and the next games should be well worth witnessing. UMPIRE. * * * The Bowling Club. Saturday one of the most popular if not important events in the way of sports or pastimes that Victoria has ever witnessed, occurred, in the inauguration of the Bowling Green, on the extreme edge of Beacon Hill Park. To anyone not biased who attended the opening of the green, no other impression could be received than that thc passtime so started is, and can be, nothing else than a most valuable and desirable addition to the many attractions which our city already possesses. When one can see no less than sixty-four men enthusiastically engaged in rolling the bowls over a finely cropped and rolled grass field, each and every one intensely interested if not excited as he watches the track of his bowl towards thc Jack following up every move of his bowl until it reaches its final resting place, and at the same time having his family and friends sitting quietly observing the game and following every move and action. We cannot but congratulate the gentlemen who in the first place energetically instituted this delightful past- time, and in thc second place the public spiritedncss of our City Council in providing the place. We have in this Bowling Green Club added to our assets, and today's event fully demonstrated that fact. This afternoon's exercise on the green with the Bowls was indeed one which should mark an epoch in Victoria's history, ri&Bjmm WEEK CommencinK MONDAY, UiMf *.

PabUihed at VICTORIA tut VANCOUVER 1208 Government St., Victoria, B.C. W. BLAKEMORE, Editor. Women in British Columbia By BOHEMIAN. My attention has been called to an important article appearing in an English publication which was evidently written by an English lady who has settled in the Province of • British Columbia. It is a clever article, but suggests a rather superficial acquaintance vvith actual conditions. The assertion that British Columbia is more English than any other place outside the British Isles is a conclusion which could only have been reacheo by one who had con- .'fined their observation to Vancouver Island. While there are other sections of the Province in which English settlers predominate there is no other' in which there is a distinctive English sentiment, and in which the community is aggressively pro-British. The writer pays a compliment to the homes of Victoria which is well deserved. She dubs them home-like, and admits that the climate is equal to the best of the South of England. A very glowing eulogy is passed upon Victoria girls, who are said to be extremely attractive, but 1 am not sure that it is not straining the facts a little to say that in he old days most families spared a least one daughter for His .Majesty's services. The sentence is rather ambiguous, but let that pass. Thc writer who seems to be as observant as Elizabeth, naturally has something to say on the engrossing subject of matrimony. She formed the opinion that every Colonial girl can marry if she wishes to do so, but that there are still many spinsters who remain unmarried because they will not consent to go out into the country and live on ranches. 1 am not sure that this is correct. I have yet to meet with the girl who would refuse to marry any decent man because he was a rancher, in fact until it has been tried it is the most attractive form-of life; what happens afterwards is another story, but since no man or woman ever yet profited by another's experience, it is hardly likely that this circumstance is a deterrent to matrimony. The writer draws a sharp distinction between Victoria and Vancouver. She regards the former as a City of homes, beauty and luxury; Vancouver as a city in which any woman who wants to work can do so at good wages. The writer certainly got to the bottom of the servant girl problem for she discovered that in British Columbia, as elsewhere, girls choose anything rather than domestic service, though there is a choice of place for everybody, and $5 a week as a minimum, with an extraordinary degree of freedom. She is quite right when she says that such situations as a governess gets in England are unknown out here. The common schools in the town are excellent and children of all classes go to them. The trouble is that no Western family would welcome a governess who expected to be waited on, instead of helping to wait on other people. She, therefore, urges that in the event of any governess seeking employinnt in British Columbia she should add to her usual qualifications, those of being able to do house-work, cooking, needlework and washing, and even then she will not earn as much as a domestic servant. The closing paragraph is so excellent that I have not thc slightest hesitation in endorsing it, and I therefore quote it in full: "But she will get a better position, both in the immediate present and as regards her prospects of marriage; for class distinctions are recognized plainly, as one expects of a colony so English. Meanwhile her experiences as jack-of-all trades will be most useful to her, for, marry whom she may, she will have to do her own work often, if not always, and she will make a poor colonist's wife if, in the intervals* of bringing up her children, she is not able to cook, and clean, and sew as she did before her marriage, with the difference that she cannot now give a week's notice and leave. It is only fair to add that much amusement is dovetailed into the hard work, and that British Columbian women reflect the general elation and cheerfulness of their colony, and have the slightest wish to change places or employment with any woman in the world." Governor Hughes' Invention. "Don't you think that Governoi Hughes makes an admirable governor of New York?" asked a inan to :t friend recently. "Yes, I do. But it is as an inventor that I admire him most;" replied the friend. "Inventor? Why, I didn't know hc was an inventor. What has he invented?" "Why, the horseless race-track." sion to purchase the following describeu land:— Commencing at a post planted 1 mile east of the south-east corner of Section 12, Township 1, Range 4, Nechaco Valley; thence south 80 chains; thence west 80 chains; thence north 80 chains; thence east 80 chains to point of commencement and being Section 6 East, of Township 1, Range 4.

June 5 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1909 Housekeeping goods will soon be needed. The first essential towards good housekeeping is a good Gas Eange. The June benedict-to-be should see that his bride experiences tlie joy of a stove that's always ready, an oven that's always right, and a heat that can be regulated scientifically. Home comfort cannot be assured with coal or wood fires for cooking purposes. Don't cook the cook over a red-hot range on a warm day. Avoid this by cooking with gas; just a turn of the tap—no worry, no work, no waste of fuel or time. Gas makes home comfortable summer or winter. Gas Eange comfort means that you can cook any meal of the day, summer or- winter, with ease and comfort. Let one of our men set up a gas range in your kitchen and you will find that you have the most modern and convenient cooking apparatus. The cost of maintenance is far less than for a coal range.

Qm/^_tffytm*/\f**_mS\/m_/^f*Q At The Street ^ Corner J By THC LOUNQiHt The presumable closing up of a deal between the City and the B. C. E. R. on the Jordan River proposition will go a long way to solve thc problem of cheap power and light. I do not know that it will help much on the water question, According to the Mayor, another week will see Smith's reservoir and the new service in operation, and thereafter we are to have plenty of water. Having waited twenty years we can no doubt possess our souls in patience another week, and then we shall see what we shall see, but my object in drawing attention to the matter is that what Victoria is up against will not be solved by a water system that meets present requirements; even Elk Lake might du that for a little while under the new system of distribution. What is wanted is a source of supply which will take care of the future. In this connection 1 am reminded that when Mr. Adams first came on the scene the population of Victoria was well under 30.000. lt is now well over 40,000, and growing every day. Unless there is a very sudden and unexpected halt the 50,000 mark will have been passed long before it would be possible to complete any permanent works on a new scheme. It is this rapid growth which is continually rton-plussing our civic solons; they want to look a little further ahead and try to adapt their ideas to Western development. In any case I sincerely hope this is the last season of drought. It makes mc tired to see the lawns of our City burnt up and our beautiful roses drooping. Victoria is essentially a city of gardens and the facility with which these can bc cultivated and made beautiful with an adequate water supply constitutes one of the greatest attractions for living here. I told last year of a prominent citizen who has spent a large sum of money on making one of the most beautiful homes and gardens in Victoria. He threw it up in disgust and went away because he could not get enough water to keep it green. I know this is a tiresome subject and perhaps its continual discussion betokens lack of originality, if so, I must certainly please guilty, but I cannot forget the old proverb that the constant dripping of water will wear away a stone, and I would fain believe even a "heart of stone." A good deal has been said at one time or another in this column about lack of parental control, and the free and, easy manner in which young people are allowed to roam about the streets of Victoria at all hours of the night. The trouble at the White Horse saloon this week strongly emphasizes what I have contended for. Here is the case of two young girls visiting a public house of doubtful reputation after midnight, in company with a man who treated them tu liquor. Investigation shows that one girl, at the age of 15, was the subject of enquiry by the Children's Aid Society, who appealed to the courts to turn her over to their care, but were met with opposition from the father, and on his urgent plea and a promise that the girl would be better looked after she was restored to his keeping. This man is a widower whose work keeps him from home, sometimes for long intervals; there is no person of mature years in charge during his absence, and it is easy to sec how the poor girl has drifted into her present position. The circumstances with respect to the other girl are slightly different, but in both cases the lack of parental control is conspicuous, and the question naturally arises whether there should not be some public authority to protect girls of tender years who are left to their own devices. No doubt the Giildren's Aid Society has done a great deal in this direction in the past, but it has fallen on evil times, is woefully short of funds, and is hampered with a committee which takes little or no interest in its operations. The White Horse case should impress parents with a stronger sense of their responsibility; it should also lead, not to the mere suspension, but to the permanent closing of licensed houses of the type of the White Horse, of which there are far too many in the City. * * * My sporting confrere made some rather drastic remarks last week on the tram car service to the Willows race track. 1 think that on busy days his remarks were justified, although on slack days the service is adequate. On the whole the British Columbia Electric Railway deserve credit for having installed a far better service than ever before, but they have overlooked one point which will go a long way to solve the difficulty. Instead of keeping the cars on the blind track, they should construct a switch at the entrance to thc grounds long enough to hold at least six or eight cars, then people could be loaded up as soon as they came off the grounds. The present arrangement by whieh they have to wait from five to ten minutes while the cars are being* brought in is very tantalizing. In this connection 1 want to make a suggestion to the owners of the hacks and automobiles which ply for hire. I know lots of people who would gladly ride up town with them if there were some conspicuous notice that any particular vehicle is for hire and not already engaged. It would also conduce to business if the price of the ride were conspicuously posted. I heard a number of people asking lookers on thc question: "How much a piece do they charge to take you up in a hack?" Nobody seemed to know and the suggestions varied from 25 cents to a dollar. This is bad management on the part of the hack drivers. If each hack would display a notice stating exactly the charge per head, many people would jump in who now hang round in uncertainty and either wait until the next car comes or walk. Cw^^t^, Settle Boundary Dispute. Seattle, Wash., June 18.—The Supreme Court of the United States believes that the states of Oregon and Washington should get together and settle their boundary dispute along the Columbia river, without going into court. This opinion is expressed in denying the petition of Washington for a rehearing. The controversy concerns jurisdiction over certain inconsiderable islands, which are valuable only for the' fishing grounds surrounding them. As a result of disputed jurisdiction there have been frequent conflicts between the authorities of both states in the administration of their respective laws. The Supreme Court holds that Oregon retains control over these islands. In closing the dispute reference is made to a recent act of Congress, designed "to enable the states of Mississippi and Arkansas to agree upon a boundary line and to determine the jurisdiction of crimes committed on the Mississippi river and adjacent territory." The Court suggests that Washington and Oregon might be governed by this Act, and appoint commissioners to agree on a boundary line to avert future conflicts. Mary's Little Hen. Mary had a little, hen Upon her little farm, Against the wolf before the d It proved to be a charm. Each day it laid a little egg, Which Mary sold at town, And thus she bought her groceries And now and then a gown. The years passed, and Mary paid The little mortgage due, And sent her.girl to boarding sch Her boy to college, too. She has a nest egg in the bank, And even keeps a eook, And everything about her has A thrifty, well kept look. Says she to those who daily fail With needle, brush and pen: "If you would do as well as I, Just keep a little hen." He Was Killing. "Young man," said the stern -J rent, "I have been greatly annoy by your extravagant habits. Hei after I shall expect you to pay yq own bills." ' "All right, father," replied t youth. "I don't expect you to r about seeking my tailor, hatt, shoemaker and the rest of the bum Just hand me a good-sized che each month and I'll attend to t minor details myself."

"Fait! said the other, "I've been sittin' he two hours, and I'm wonderin' wl time it starts."
