Vol. VII. No. 22 THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1910 One Dollar Per Annum |he companies' act At the last session of the Provincial legislature the House set its seal upon lie work of Mr. Charles Wilson, ex-At- Imiey-General, in consolidating the Com- lanies' Act of 1897. There was no dif- 31-ence of opinion as to the necessity for lis consolidation. After thirteen years Ixperience, during which the business of lhe Province had increased by leaps and lounds, the old Act had out-lived its use- lulness. It needed bringing up to date, probably needed the importation of bme new clauses, and generally speaking, I needed to be lined up with English [Jompany Law of to-day. Not that it fol- aws of necessity that the English law of lommerce is in all respects applicable to a lew and sparsely populated country like lis, but in a general sense it may fairly le said that the Britisli Columbia Gov- Irnment is justified in following this pre- ledent. Everyone interested in trade and lommerce knew of Mr. Wilson's appoint- lient and its purpose; indeed, the Liberal lress and notably the Victoria Times was |ot slow to criticise the appointment. All lie more reason, therefore, that these self- lonstituted critics should have kept close |*ib on his work, and have called the attention of the House to any objectionable llauses which he may have imported. IVhen the Consolidated Act was submitted here were five members from Vancouver |nd four from Victoria in their seats, yet hey were not instructed to make any pro- pst against the Act, whicli passed without Ipposition, and was duly incorporated in Iho Statutes of the Province. With re- Jpect to any alterations whicii may have Jieen introduced, it is admitted that thc Imrpose of these Avas to bring the Com- lianies' Act of British Columbia in line Ivith that of the other Provinces, and so Tar aa The Week has boen able to learn pom its strongest opponents, there is no Special feature in the British Columbia lAet which is not to be found in other ■provincial Acts. Whether this is to be ■regarded as retaliation or protection mat- Iters very little, and while it may fairly be largued that because Ontario or Quebec (adopt a certain line that is no reason why IBritish Columbia should do the same, it Imay also well be argued that the most [thinly populated Province in the Dominium can hardly afford to be less stringent lin its protective legislation than the more Ipopulous" and richer Provinces. The ]*Boarcl3 of Trade of Victoria and Vancou- Ivejf have discovered all too late what they I should have discovered when the matter was before the House, viz., that there are clauses in the new Act to which they strongly object*. The Vancouver Board of Trade interviewed Mr. Bowser and the Victoria Board of Tvsltlc interview^ Pre- I mier McBride-, requesting that thi. Act be not enforced. Both requests wfere denied, and the Act will be enforced, though pos- I sibly hot exactly along the lines which 1 some of its opponents {ear. Anyhow, it must be admitted that it was an unbusi- ness-like'proposition and would be a very dangerous precedent for a Government to consent to the general non-enforcement of an Act, which had been passed unanimously, and which had provoked no criticism at the time of its passing. Even if it contains objectionable conditions, it is obvious that the only constitutional course is to Watch how it Avorks and to seek amendment at the next session of Parliament The principal objections urged, and urged with considerable ability by Mr. Shallcross, representing the Victoria Board of Trade, are against the provisions requiring all Incorporated Companies doing business in the Province to be regis- I tered in the Province, and to pay a license I fee for such registration. It is -con tended that such a fee Avould run to $400. The other main objection is to requiring Incorporated Companies doing business here to register their mortgages. The latter is a technical question which involves no very great hardship anyAvay, and is rather a matter of procedure than principle. As to the former, much could be said. There are many who think that the Companies Avho are doing such a large and profitable business in this Province may Avell contribute more largely to its revenues: a contention which it is difficult to gainsay. On the other hand, it is contended that it is the same with taxes as Avith tariffs, they are ultimately paid by the consumer. In the present case it may be pointed out that the strongest objection comes from manufacturers' agents, and agents for outside produce companies. These men carry no stock and Avork for a small commission; probably on the average, not more than five per cent. Anything Avhich cripples their business Avould throAV it into the hands of the Avholesalers, and the latter carrying large stocks and assuming the burden of heavy financial arrangements, require a much larger percentage of profit; which is no doubt true, s.o that any dislocation of the present supply market will sensibly increase the cost of living. There is, hoAvever, a point not to be lost sight of, it is that the importation of large quantities of cheap supplies may Avell check the development of local industries, by subjecting them to severer competition than they can stand. Those avIio have set forth the case for the Board of Trade claim that the Act can be so interpreted as to make it illegal for a book-seller to sell a magazine, the property of an Incorporated Company, unless the latter is registered in the Province and has paid the registration fees, because magazines carry advertisements, and a consumer might cut out an advertisement and send for some article, and by so doing would constitute the book-seller an agent of the Company. This may be an extreme case, still, on the authority of eminent legal advisers it has been stated as a possibility. Mr. Shallcross contends that the Act Avould prevent a vessel of an unregistered Company from purchasing supplies, indeed there is no limit in this direction. The whole subject is both legal and technical, but having very carefully folloAved the argument of the objectors, The Week is unable to believe that tho Act* could, be applied in the manner suggested, and, in any event, it would have been better policy for the Boa I'd of Trade to have waited until it was brought into operation in some specific case. If it was found susceptible of the interpretation Avhich the Board of Trade suggests, there is very little doubt but that the Government would consent to an amendment, but at present it stands in line with the Companies' Act of all other provinces and with British commercial law, and it is therefore unlikely tliat the Government will consent to any such extreme proposal as that of non-enforcement. TROP DE ZELE It is not often that The Week disagrees with the action of the Rev. J. G. Shearer, who, as the head of the Lord's Day Alliance, and later of the Social ancl Moral Reform Association of Canada, has done splendid Avork for the cause of righteousness, but it cannot refrain from protesting against the tendency Avhich Dr Shearer seems to share in common Avith most reformers to adopt a policy of prohibition rather than to persevere Avith an educational propaganda. In a very brilliant article hy Dr. Andrew AndreAv McPhail, recently reprinted in the columns of The Week, it Avas pointed out how this tendency is groAving, and how thereby the influence of the churches is being Aveak- ened; a proposition Avhich no reasonable man can deny. The latest illustration is in the movement accredited to Dr. Shearer for prohibiting the exhibition of the Moving Pictures of the Johnson- Jeffries fight. Mr. Shearer may not approve of prize-fights, and therefore Avould not Avish to see them; it is also probable that he has no desire to witness their reproduction on the screen, but he should remember that there are thousands Avho love a prize-fight ancl avIio avouM thoroughly enjoy the pictures Avithout suffering any sense of degradation. Why a broad-minded Christian minister should Avish to curtail the innocent enjoyment of some thousands of people is beyond the comprehension of The Week, and it is especially difficult to understand this in the case of Dr. Shearer. The Week has for years supported him and his Avork, ancl hopes to do so in the future, but Avould respectfully suggest that by making such an extreme proposal as the one above referred to, he is guilty of an excess of zeal, AA'hich cannot but re-act on his legitimate Avork ancl seriously cripple his usefulness as a reformer. BLUNDERS The Victoria Times has had a relapse and after six months of tolerably good behaviour it is once more breaking out into one of its former unreasoning ancl vicious attacks on the Attorney-General. In a recent editorial it spoke unctuously of Mr. Bowser's blunders. One would tliink that if any paper should speak gently of blunders it Avould be the Victoria Times. There are not a feAV active members of the Liberal party avIio claim that the Times Avas the chief contributor to their defeat in the last Federal election, and to their practical annihilation at the last Provincial election. Tliere are not a feAV men in both political camps Avho believe that the Times Avas an important contributor to Premier McBride's popularity and success. The AVeek has heard it hinted in Avell-informed quarters that the Hon. William Templeman shares these vieAvs, and that the cleansing of the Augean stable is not intended to stop at the commercial department. This may or may not be true, but in any event, it is impossible to read the Times' comment on Mr. BoAvser's blunders Avithout recalling the incident of "the mote ancl the beam," ISLAND DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE The Island Development League has just issued a beautiful booklet on the southmost districts of Vancouver Island, specially underlining Cohvood, Metchosin and Sooke. The book is a credit to all concerned, especially to Mr. Ernest McGaffey, the indefatigable secretary and to Mrs. Madge Robertson Watt, who is responsible for tlie letter press. It furnishes a large fund of information, ancl is easily tho best thing of the kind Avhich has been produced. In commenting on it The Week Avishes to call attention to an important fact which does not seem to have attracted the attention of the Development League; it is that in spite of all protests to tlie contrary, and even in spite of a commina- tory editorial in The Colonist, farming on Vancouver Island does not pay at present. By this Tho Week does not mean that no farm pays, but that the majority do not, ancl that but for thc private incomes upon Avhich the farmers draw, they would starve. It is all very avcII for the Development League to paint one picture, but they should in justice to the English immigrants Avhom they would attract, paint the other. It is all very Avell to induce people to come out here to live on their incomes and play at farming for a pastime. There are many %vho do that at home, ancl all too many Avho do it here, and if that is Avhat Englishmen are to expect there is no reason why the Development League should not tel) them so; but if they are expected tc come here and get a living for themselves and theii families off the land, The Week can prove that under existing conditions of population, transportation, cost of labour ancl of other necessaries of living, it cannot be done, except in a few very favourable instances. This statement is based on observation and on the experience of those Avho have tried it, and The Week Avishes to register a protest against a presentation of the case, which sets forth all the favourable conditions, but ignores the drawbacks. If anyone thinks that this is an unfair statement of the case, let him take a trip through the very districts coA'ered by Mrs. Watt's pamphlet, ancl notice the amount and character of the cultivation after more than half a century of settlement. Let him also take note of the fruit crops Avhich are al- loAved to rot because it will not pay to gather them, and of the grass which remains uncut, year after year, because it will not pay to make it into hay. And, after noting these things let him urge the Development League to study the economic side of the settlement question and publish the facts. A GOOD OMEN The Week has often criticised the school system of Canada and has laid special stress on the general lack of discipline which prevails. It is with extreme pleasure that it directs attention to a little incident Avhich goes far to discount any feeling of pessimism in this regard, ancl wliieh is full of promise for the future. Mr. Rogers, the well-known sugar magnate of Vancouver, visited Victoria Regatta this week in his beautiful yacht. It Avas manned by his oavu boys, the only paid labour on board being the engineer. The bpys Avere Avell trained and disciplined. Not a sentence Avas heard on the yacht except in naval terms. Everything Avas precise, prompt ancl professional. The boys only Avent ashore on leave, and though they Avere entertained most hospitably by old friends, they insisted on leaving on the very stroke of time, in order to be able to report when their furlough expired. Moreover everything Avas done with the utmost zest, ancl duty was obviously a pleasure. There can be no finer training than this, and no better omen for the Canada of thc future. A SENSIBLE MAYOR In Ered. Stork Prince Rupert has found a sensible Mayor. Anyone Avho knoAvs him knoAV that hc would easily defeat his opponent in the mayoral contest. He had established a record in Pernio of which any public man might Avell be proud. Apart altogether from politics, which should bc ignored in municipal matters, and in spite of the fact that Mr. Stork is a life-long Liberal, it must be admitted that he possesses all the necessary qualifications for successful public service. He is a man of high personal character; of absolute honesty; he is broad-minded, progressive, tactful and diplomatic. He makes no enemies ancl many of his warmest friends belong to the other camp. Hc has initiated his term of office in Prince Bupert by introducing "high license," which is the only practical method of conducting the drink traffic. It will haA'e the effect of closing the "blind pigs," and of heading off Dr. Spencer's nostrum, the Scott Act. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1910 1 At The Street Corner K By THE LOUNOBR _ "The rule of the road is a paradox quite; If you go to the right you are wrong; if you go to the left you are right." . I well remember this little axiomatic paradox, or paradoxical axiom being installed into my ears when they were but eight years old, or thereabouts; and I have never forgotten it. Well would it have been for me if I could have forgotten it on the occasions when I visited Continental countries in Europe, or when I set foot on thc other side of the line in this vast expanse of country. However, for the most part I live in British countries, and in them the above maxim holds good; and not only holds good, but is well observed. It is rare indeed that drivers, whether of flesh and blood or of iron and steel evade the rule, and if they do, and there is an accident—woe unto them. But there are many people who seem to be totally unaware that there is an unwritten law governing the sidewalks and the multitudinous pedestrian traffic which they carry. And this law reverses the former, for on the sidewalk men and women, and I would lay special emphasis on the word "women," because they arc the worst offenders, are supposed to pass on the right. But do they? I wot not. I remember that my estimable friend, Mr. Horace, somewhere in "The Ars Poetica," makes reference to the same thing, but in the brutal tone of the day he says that the weakest have to go to the wall; now-a-days we say: "Give the lady the inside berth." But that only applies on uncrowded streets, and certainly has not any effect in the case of Government Street on a holiday or on Saturday night. Such little acts of politeness, praiseworthy though they be, are only a cause of further confusion, and pedestrians would do well to keep firmly fixed in their minds the rule that, in passing, they are supposed to keep to the right hand side. * * * I believe that it is a doctrine of the Jesuits that it is right to do evil provided that good may result therefrom. It also appears to be the doctrine of the Victoria City Council. On Monday, July 4th, when the city was crowded with excursionists, there was a lake in front of the City Hall. It was not an ornamental lake; there were no swans swimming on it; no water-fowl brooded on its confines, not even a seal was to be observed lurking 'neath the pebbles. In fact, some people might have been rude enough to have called it a big puddle, caused by the zealous attentions of the water-cart man and the equally zealous inattention of the authorities. Anyhow, there it was, and I noticed a lot of our visitors regarding it with awe ancl amazement. They evidently failed to reconcile its existence in a prominent place, just outside the building that makes Victoria the wonder and envy of thc world (sic), with the beauties they had seen in other parts of the city. I wondered also; and my faith in our appointed guardians was on thc point of being shattered, when a dumb animal showed me how near I was to placing blame where no blame belonged. This lake, or puddle, is provided by a kindly and humane body of men as a bathing and drinking place for our humbler friends. A little dog, a mongrel, but still a dog, came along, gave me a plaintive look, as much as to say: "Don't be angry with them, they are doing it for my sake," ancl proceeded to drink and then wallow in the luxurious accommodation provided for him. It is a real pleasure to know that our City Fathers have such kind hearts, but I would point out that, though T myself am a Protector of the Poor, I do think that they need not provide quite so many of these artificial baths for our canine friends. * * * Dear reader, are you a very big dog, or a very small horse, or arc you just kn ordinary common or garden human being? Much depends on the correct solution of this problem. The person who designed the two drinking fountains, one at each end of the Causeway, seems to have put you and me in a class not hitherto defined in the Natural History books. For a clog they are too high; for a horse they are not capacious enough, and for a human being they are low,—far too low. There are four ways in whicii a man can drink in comparative comfort; he can drink standing up; hc can drink sitting down; he can drink lying on his back, and he can drink lying flat on his "tummy"; but—he cannot drink with any satisfaction to himself, when he is bending clown. But that is what we have to do if we are thirsty on the Causeway. All credit to the Council for establishing the foundations; they were badly needed; all credit to them also for not having provided those germ-breeding cups which are such a disgrace in many cities! But it would have cost such a very little more to have built the foundations a little higher so that men of 5 ft. io}4 in. (my own height) could occasionally get a little drink during the heat and burden of the day, without looking like asses and without getting a crick in the back. One would have thought that when people advertised on a theatre curtain they would insist on correct spelling. Apparently, the business men of Victoria are like Gallio of old, "they care for none of these things." I have noticed on two theatre curtains in Victoria bad spelling; one is possibly a matter of opinion, though I think my opinion is right. The other is AWFUL; "their" is spelt "there." What do you think of that? If you want to know where this atrocity is perpetrated you had better go the round of the shows and look for it. My only hope is that the advertiser did not pay the company who contracted for the curtain. * * * What happened to the water-cart on Monday after it had filled the lake above mentioned? The main streets were thronged with visitors and the corner of Yates and Government was one whirling mass of dust. During the whole of the summer the water- cart has been most assiduous in its attentions, and I don't think that the citizens have any just cause for complaint, but a la Victoria, just when the influx of excursionists came, the dust was the one thing which they could not possibly miss. * * * I took another "lounge" out into the country last week-end. How many Victorians know the beauties of Nature which are lying right at their doors? Prospect Lake is one of the prettiest places that I have ever seen. You can get there in all sorts of ways. You may take a carriage and drive; you may take an automobile ancl scorch, or, you may do as the Lounger did, take a car to the Gorge, and then walk. Don't go there unless you are prepared to appreciate scenery, rest and quietude. At Prospect Lake there are to be found no saloons, no picnic grounds and no "tourist attractions." But there is to be found a spot of scenic beauty, unparalleled, in my humble estimation, within thc same radius. Boating, fishing and bathing can all be indulged in, and the happy party who drives there with a luncheon basket, prepared to spend the Sunday, de pendent on its own resources for all save the boat, will come back all the better prepared for the next week's work. * * * Do you "batch"? If so, there have doubtless been many times when you felt too lazy to wash up the dishes, ancl have left them till the morning I had a "tip" given me the other day, which I will gladly pass on to other unfortunates. In such circum stances turn the dishes over, and then the rats can't get in. if"*' / . ■ IBSfSt _7____________M____7 ,- \ _£______ WWW ' M W. 1 ,—^ *'<x j \ 1 jljljljl^ ■F ■ ' V' '_______\v___________\\\\\__& __Tl___* ________________________________________________ 1 if \. - .... ■*.... s*__&i*'*.*'* - _° ■•».■/ a _-____^f________j___\\ ^__. ■___-,— ft H Hi 5& *'**' ■ .jjsf:* ) 7 '-SBBfc. .*..'.

Ker is enjoying a continental trip in Europe, he cannot forget Victoria, at any rate he cannot forget its dust; for I notice that he writes a very interesting letter to the Colonist, making a suggestion for dust-laying. The suggestion is to follow the example of County Kent by sweeping all the dust off the roads, then applying a thin coating of boiling tar and a sprinkling of sand. The idea is excellent in Kent, where the roads are really macadamized, but, unfortunately, Victoria cannot boast of one single piece of road made after the recipe of macadam, and if the city workmen had to sweep dust until they came to a stone foundation, they would have to sweep to the country rock. Mr. Ker evidently overlooks this trifling circumstance, which entirely alters the value of his suggestion; at least that is the humble opinion of cfa ^C4C^f\ King Edward Mines LIMITED NON-PERSONAL LIABILITY PORTLAND CANAL, B.C.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1910 The Victoria Theatre j The Empress Stock Company made excellent start in Victoria with lieir initial performance of "Trilby." lliss Isabelle Fletcher in the title pie scored a big success, her acting the difficult death scene being spe- |ally worthy of comment. As Sven- ali, Frederick Wilson was distinctly ood, showing to the best advantage li the lobby scene. Mention should |so be made of Messrs. Henderson |id Southern who sustained the parts "The Laird" and "Taffy" in a very Ireditable manner. This is by far lie best stock company that has visit- Id Victoria within the ken of the I riter. This was proved by their Kxellent rendition of "Wildfire," Ihich will again be presented at a latinee and evening performance to- lay. This play fits the company like glove, and I have no hesitation in kying that in it the Empress Stock tompany far excel the average com- lany which visits Victoria on tour. Ishley Popper in the difficult part of ■Main; Teddy MacNamara in New fork street slang as a stable boy, nd Miss Fletcher as Mrs. Barring- Ian are specially worthy of praise, |ttt, truth to tell, the parts were so xcellently balanced that it seems in- lidious to make distinctions. If the Dinpany maintains next week the ligh standard it has set itself this reek, it may leave Victoria feeling liat it has not worked in vain. The New Grand The Scott Brothers who are ap- learing at the above theatre may futhfully be said to be marvels. I'heir equilibrist work is beyond all ompare and their grand finale in the I'heel is Avorth walking miles to see. |'or people who like animal shows knita Diaz has provided a troupe of Ixccedingly clever monkeys, whose lerformance delights the house.

MOMUS. known American success, "The Lion and the Mouse," written by the successful playwright, Charles Klein. This will be recognized as one of the biggest hits of recent years. The plot treats of one of the vital problems of the day, the power of money. The bill for July 18th, 19th and 20th will be "The Girl of the Golden West." This is a drama that has won enormous success and ran for nearly two years in New York city, and has toured all over the country to record-breaking receipts. The theme of this drama is laid in California in the early days and the powerful characters of "The Girl," "The Gambler," and "The Road Agent" are taken from life and presented in the action of the play with so much fidelity to nature, that they seem to live and breathe. This is the greatest play ever written by the author, David Belasco, who numbers many plays to his credit. Crowded houses should be the case for the balance of the engagement of this talented Company. New Grand Next Week The Great Albini will head the Grand Theatre bill next week. Those who have not seen Albini in magic have an opportunity this coming week to do some seeing and afterwards many, many hours of thinking and puzzling. Albini will give a new performance every night. For six days he will offer six different acts, all of the same magical nature. He will probably open Monday with the illusions known as the disappearing lady, the magic chair, the transparent trunk and the bridal chamber and in between each of these will give several sleight-of-hand tricks, his complete show lasting over half an hour. With Albini in the bill this week and four other good acts, Mr. Jamieson has the most expensive bill Sullivan and Considine have allotted Victoria in many months. One night during the week Albini promises to offer an exposure of the fake palmists ancl fortune tellers and show exactly how these fakes arrive at their supposedly marvelous conclusions.

MANACI MONDAY, TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY -THE- Victoria Next Week Only one more week of the engage- Iment of the Empress Stock Company lin celebrated plays at Victoria Thea- Itre remains. On Monday, Tuesday land Wednesday evenings, July 18th, ligth, and 20th, will be given that well UNDER CANVAS The Boy Scouts in Camp At the corner of Lampson and Head Streets, over in Victoria West, an edifying spectacle is to be observed by all who are sufficiently interested in the training of our boys to go and witness it. The boy Scouts to the number of over two hundred are in camp where they are having the time of their lives. It must not be imagined, however, that this means that they are merely having a glorified picnic, all play and no work. On the contrary they are living under a strict regime whereby they are learning the first principles of discipline and obedience in addition to regular instruction in musketry and scouting. When the proposal for this camp was first mooted it was distinctly laid down that the boys had to do everything for themselves; no grants were to be made; no subscriptions received from outsiders, and no liberal tips from the wealthier parents. The camp was to be the result of individual self-denial, proved by weekly savings, and the camp is to last as long as the funds hold out, which will probably be another week. Tents ancl cook-stoves were "rustled" by the youngsters themselves, who begged or borrowed them from sympathetic relatives and friends who had the good sense to appreciate the incalculable benefits likely to accrue from a fortnight's military discipline for the boys. No help was given in pitching the camp, yet, though the boys did not march in till 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, the tents were all pitched, the camp arranged and when supper and bed-time came, everything was in order. Not a bad record for boys, the majority of whom are only thirteen or fourteen! The Scouts are divided into troops, each under a scout-master, who is some gentleman willing to devote his time for the boys' good; each troop is divided into so many patrols consisting of about eight members, each patrol being under the command of a boy, chosen for his superior qualities in thc way of leadership. And the scheme is working wonderfully well.

Published at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER 1208 Government St., Victoria, B.C. W. BLAKEMORE, Editor Black and White BY BOHEMIAM I should not like to say how many millions of people have followed with avidity the daily records of the doings in Jeffries' and Johnson's camps for several months past. Neither should I like to make a guess at the number of millions who swarmed around bulletin boards as the result of the fight was flashed to every part of the world. But it was millions, beyond a doubt. Now a good many people, and not a few newspapers have seized the occasion to "point a moral and adorn a tale." They have declared that prize-fighting is debasing; that it is deplorable to find so many people taking an interest in it; that it lacks a single redeeming feature and should be denounced in unmeasured terms as a public evil, inimical to the well- being of the race. I do not share these views, and when I looked through the crowd which surrounded the Colonist and Times offices on Monday afternoon, and noticed many of the most prominent and respectable citizens of Victoria, including School Trustees, Magistrates and Judges, as well as a sprinkling of the fair sex, I was more than ever confirmed in my view that prize-fighting is like many other things in this world, not bad in itself, and only objectionable in connection with extraneous matters which are dragged in. I have always advocated prizefighting, and do not mind confessing that it has a peculiar fascination for me. Apart from its special appeal to the manly instincts of the race, it is possible that my \intercst was increased by the fact that as a small boy I made the acquaintance of the bravest fighter that ever stepped into a ring, Tom Sayers, the little middleweight, who, although he had a broken arm, for more than three hours fought the American giant, and succeeded in making a draw of what is after all the classic battle of the prize ring. I also knew Goss, King and Mace, and when I was reading the bulletins on Monday, I wondered how long Jeffries or Johnson would have stayed in the ring with either of these men, fighting to a finish with bare knuckles. Those were the palmy days of fisticuffs, when men fought for small stakes, and went back to their ordinary job of work as soon as thc fight was over. In those days there were no Moving Pictures and the side bets were put up by aristocratic patrons of the ring who gave their proteges a "bunch" if they won. The modern prize-fighter is at best more of a showman than a fighter. Still, we havc got to take what wc can get, and when all is said and done, it is better to develop the courage and nerve, to say nothing of the muscle, necessary to enter thc prize ring and fight to a knock-out, than for men to lose personal courage, or to resort to thc use of weapons for self-defence. After all, prize-fighting is no superficial thing; it is not a fad of a moment or of a generation; it is woven into the very fibres of our being, and is as deep as our consciousness. The instinct grew as the race developed; it is, if you like, a survival of thc brutal conflicts of the cave-men, but it is still an exhibition of pluck and courage, and when man ceases to like fighting ancl to indulge in it, he will have lost his pre-eminence. Prize-fighting develops instincts whicli tend, not only to the preservation of the race, but to protection, to coolness, to resourcefulness. It develops the love of fair play; for what is more certain than that the slightest attempt at a foul arouses the fiercest hostility from any prize ring audience in the world? Jack London thinks that "the tiger and the ape" are gradually being eliminated from human nature. He illustrates this by pointing out that men are less cruel; that bare knuckles have given way to padded gloves, and that even in warfare slaughter is economised. He thinks this is an evidence that some day "the tiger and the ape" will completely die out, and our sports will consist of forensic, artistic and ethical battles between our chosen champions. Again, I disagree. I believe that the more the brutal instincts of our race are eliminated, the less aggressive and vital shall we be. The less able to compete or contest; the less able to maintain our supremacy. I believe that it is the judicious blending of the physical and the mental, which has produced the Anglo-Saxon type, excelling every other in virility and in the conquering, domineering power. The future of the world ia for the race which longest perpetuates these qualities, and the acme of civilization is so to develop the mental and the moral side of man, that "the tiger and the ape" are kept under control. That these views are widely held and that even the most civilized people everywhere respond to the appeal of a prize-fight, has been well illustrated this week. None of the papers whicii denounced the fight had elaborated any argument on what they called "the debasing influences of the ring," and they must have looked out with amazement when they recognized among the crowds in the street men of culture and of the highest personal character, who are responsible for the we'1-being of the community. There is little danger that the fight at Reno will be the last. Such a prediction is as far from the truth as the statement that Monday's fight was one of the greatest in the annals of the prize ring. As a matter of fact, it did not deserve the name of "fight." For the first time in thirty years I did not have a dollar "up," because I knew that the white man could not win, and I would not back the nigger. It is now perfectly clear that no one, least of all, Jeffries, expected that the white man would win. While the fight was "on thc square," it is certain that Jeffries had not undergone any serious training. He refused to be weighed at any time, and I have the best authority for saying that he probably fought at 240 pounds, which is 25 pounds above his proper weight. My view is, ahd I think that it will subsequently be confirmed, that six years bar-keeping have converted Jeffries into a whiskey barrel, with soft muscles and hard veins; he could not stand serious training, and the secret was well kept for the sake of the purse and the pictures. While Johnson did all that was asked of him, I doubt if he has any cause for exultation, and now that the fight is over it is certain that there are at least two other men who could give Johnson a harder "go" than he had on Monday. SABLE AND PURPLE May, 1910 (William Watson) I I sing nnt Deatli. Death la too great a thing For me to dare to sin-?. 1 chant the human goodness, human worth, Whicii are not lost, but sweeten still the Earth; The things thnt flee not with the up- yielded breath, But, housed In sanctuary of simple hearts. Lives undethroned when Death Comes to the chamber of n mighty King, And waves abroad the silence of his wing, Then shakes his raven plumage, and departs. II Honor the happy dead with sober praise, Who living would have scorned the fulsome phrase, Meet for the languorous Orient's jewelled ear. This was the English King, that loved the English ways: A man not too remote, or too august, For other mortal children of the dust To know and to draw near. Born witli a nature that demanded joy, JULY And those who in July are born, No trouble should their brow adorn, If they this gleaming gem have worn— The Ruby Redfern & Sons 1009 Government Street VICTORIA, B.C. He took full draughts of life, nor did the vintage cloy; But when she passed from vision, who so long Had sat aloft—alone— On the steep heights of an Imperial throne, Then rose he large and strong, Then spake his voice with new and grander tone, Then, called to rule the State Which he had only served, He saw clear Duty plain, nor from that highway swerved, And, unappalled by his majestic fate, Pretended not to greatness, yet was great. Ill Sea-lover, and sea-rover, throned henceforth Amid the paths and passes of the sea; You that have sailed, out of our stormy North, And have not sailed in vain, To all the golden shores where now You reign, Through every ocean gate whereof You keep the key: O may your power and your dominion stand Fixt on what things soever make life fair, And on what things soever make men grand, In royal robe of ordered liberty So shall your praise be blown from strand to strand. Your Father lies among the Kings his kin, Pillowed on yonder couch of silence, where No wandering echo of the world's loud blare Profanes the awesome air. The age that bore us is entombed there! With You the younger time is eager to begin. Let nations see, beneath your prospering hand, An Empire mighty in arms, its fleets and hosts Keeping far vigil round your hundred coasts— An Empire mighty in arms, but therewithal Nourished in mind, with noble thoughts made rich, And panoplied in knowledge, lacking which The proudest fortress is but feebly manned And ever trembles to its thunderous fall. And now to You—to Her who at your side Henceforward shall divide The ull but dreadful glory of a crown— Be honor and felicity and renown! And may the inscrutable years. That claim from every man their toll of tears, Weave for your brows a wreath that shall not fade— A ehaplet and a crown divinely made Out of your people's love, your people's trust; For wanting these all else were but as dust In that great balance wherein Kings are weighed. Something Dropped "Now, children," said the teacher, "you have been making too much noise. Let us see if we can't all be quiet. Just see how still you can be—so still you can hear a pio drop." The teacher waited expectantly. The pupils responded ln a body. After several moments of profound silence, in which not a sound was heard from pencil, book, or paper, the boy in the back seat called out: "Let her drop, teacher!" DANGER!

Young, chief of police, Nelson, has received a letter from the chief of police of Detroit, thanking him for his assistance in bringing to justice John Wooton, the forger. Wooton passed a forged check for over $2,000 on the Imperial Bank of Canada last October, and Chief Young sent a circular with his description to the police of all the principal cities. Later Wooton tried to pass on a Detroit bank a forged check on a Nelson bank, and the Detroit bank wired to the Nelson bank for confirmation. Chief Young at once notified the Detroit chief that this was the Wooton wanted in Nelson, and he was arrested. The publishers of the Racing Record, a local publication, issued during the race meets at the Woodbine track, were fined $100 and costs or ten days in jail by Magistrate Kings- ford, of Toronto, for violating the Miller law by publishing odds on the races. Mr. T. C. Robinette, K.C, counsel for the defendant company, applied for a stated case, but the application was refused. "Then I will go to the Court of Appeals," proceeded Mr. Robinette, "as I am quite sure the publication of the paper cannot be interfered with." The magistrate agreed to defer the payment of the fine until October, when the Court of Appeals will hold its first sitting after the summer vacation. Mr. A. W.

Mann, despite the news of this new and great discovery, still inclines to the opinion that the Upper Salmon River, toward which he is building his Portland Canal short line railway, as rapidly as men and material can produce results, will prove the stupendous surprise of years to mining men. He has now between thirty-five and forty claims under bond in this section, and is snapping up all other offers for sale. In one case the showing of ore body seemed as immense as that of the great Treadwell, while retaining the high values peculiar to the ores of this and the Portland camp. It is the intention of Mackenzie & Mann to complete the Portland Canal short line by September, if at all possible, crossing the mountains at the headwaters of Bear River by a new pass, at an altitude of but 2,600 feet, traversing the Naas Valley and the auriferous Omineca, and connecting with the Canadian Northern main line west of Yellowhead Pass, thus making Stewart also a transcontinental terminus.

Telephone 1609 YACHTING NOTES The International Regatta of the North Pacific Coast is over. This is the first year since 1904 that the International yacht races have taken place in Victoria, but with auspicious weather and an interesting programme, the affair proved a great success in every respect. The sheltered harbor was a great boon to the visitors living aboard their boats, and the officers of the Victoria Yacht Club were tireless in their efforts to provide for the comfort and convenience of their guests. On Monday, the opening day of the Regatta, there was a strong breeze from the southwest, and the first event of the day was the race for cruisers. In Class A, the "Gazeeka," of Vancouver, finished first, with the "Acquila" of Seattle second. Class B was also won by a Vancouver boat, the "Eileen," while the "Dorothy" of Victoria was a good second. Thc other races for cruisers were contested by the visitors with no home entries. The most interesting race of the day was undoubtedly thc 29-ft. class, which brought out those old rivals, Captain Dean and Captain Ted Geary. Captain Geary's handling of the "Winona" excited much admiration, but thc craft was not so speedy as the "Alexandra," which crossed thc finishing line first. There were several races for power boats on Tuesday, thc chief attraction being thc speed boat race, which brought out four entries, three of Avhich were local boats. The "Theco," owned by John Hinton, of Victoria, was an easy victor. She has beautiful lines and was very much admired. The "Marie II" of Victoria took second place, while the "Priscilla" of Vancouver overhauled the "H. B." and took third place toward the end of the race. Thc "Priscilla" showed her self to be a speedy craft, but owing to a mishap on the trip down her engine was running imperfectly and she could not make her best time. There were several very delightful social functions in connection with the Regatta, and especially the garden party given by Mr. John Arbuthnot which was largely attended and much appreciated. Perhaps the most important event —which has not been taken notice of in the daily papers as we go to press—was the distribution of prizes at the Driard Hotel on Wednesday evening, July 6th. The drawing-room was filled with the yachtsmen and their lady friends. Commodore Cuppage, in a few well chosen words, told the assembly that in undertaking the detail of this Regatta, he had departed considerably from the ideas of previous ones. He pointed out that up till now thc International Association had not made enough of its functions, and had not desired but rather avoided the co-operation of the ladies. The yachtsmen, both visiting and local, have come to the conclusion that to make a success of this royal sport it is necessary to interest the ladies. As a result of this decision it is rumoured that next year will see motor boats and sailing yachts captained by ladies and competing for the beautiful prizes offered by the Association. During the presentation of prizes which were graciously distributed by Mrs. Cuppage, speeches were made by Commodore MacNeill, of the Vancouver Yacht Club, Captain Deane of Vancouver, and Captain Abbott of Bellingham. These gentlemen spoke in very flattering terms of the hospitality they had received, and the pleasure of their visit to Victoria, and I they declared that undoubtedly Victoria was the best place for the Re gatta. With three cheers for Commodore Cuppage and six cheers for Mrs. Cuppage, the yachtsmen adjourned for the International meeting. At this meeting a motion was brought forward by Commodore MacNeill of the R. V. Y. C, seconded by Commodore Abbott of the Bellingham Yacht Club, that in view of the many advantages of Victoria for a Regatta and International yacht meeting, the next two yearly meetings should be held in this city. This motion was unanimously carried. It is doubtful if Victoria has ever received a greater compliment, and it goes without saying that Commodore Cuppage and the officers of the Victoria Yacht Club deserve a great deal of credit for the way in which they have, in spite of many obstacles, made a record success of the largest and best attended Rcga.ta ever held on the North Pacific Coast, and paved the way for making Victoria the "Cowes of Canada." British Columbia Horse "B" Squadron completed the annual training at its local headquarters, Vernon, after a very successful camp in every respect. A school of instruction was conducted for the N.C.O's. and subalterns by Serg.-Maj. Sparks of Strathcona Horse Regiment of Winnipeg, under Major C. C. Bennett, D.S.A., of Victoria, resulting in certificates of qualification being issued to four officers and sixteen N.C.O's. The inspection took place July 1st at 11 a.m. by Major Bennett, who expressed himself as very highly pleased with the efficiency the Squadron had attained to and complimented Major Bott, the 0. C. of the Squadron, very highly on having such excellent material to work with, both men and horses proving very apt. CORRESPONDENCE Dust! I Victoria, July 5, 1910. The Editor of The Week. Sir,—My wife is furious over her dust baths and as a little joke at her expense I made the drawing sent you separately. If it is any use you are welcome. We come from a town in England where some sort of dust preventative is used very successfully. The rain has laid our dust for the present but a day or two will stir it up again. The present Council and Engineer, I understand, have done excellent work in this connection in the central parts of the town. The outer districts cannot be paved all at once but some dust preventative might be used. Yours, etc., R. V. G. MONTMORENCY. Only a Hope He—"Farewell, my darling, I hope you will remain true to me." She (through her tears)—"I hope so too." Foul Bay Victoria, B.C., 4th July, 1910. The Editor of The Week. Sir,—I think the Lounger has been misinformed as to the correct spelling of Foul Bay, the proper way is with a "ti" not a "av". The place has clearly been named by a sailor, as the bay is very foul from a nautical point of view, the entrance being almost blocked by rocks and kelp beds, which extend into the bay itself and present an effectual barrier against anything larger than a dinghy. The word "foul" is used in this case in the same sense as when a fouled anchor or propeller is spoken of. Some persons living in the vicinity of the Bay appear to object to the name as properly spelled and are spelling it fowl. Presumably they do not know the reason the name was given, or possibly they do not desire that those who have never seen the place may acquire a wrong impression of it from thc name. The fact that a few ducks and divers haunt the place in the winter hardly justifies the name fowl, and as the correct name is clearly open to misconstruction, it would seem that a new name might | perly be bestowed upon what is of the most charming spots in vicinity of Victoria. Another ni that might be changed with adv; age is Ross Bay, as the fact that cemetery is located there leads pec to believe that a man is a "dead o if hc gives his address there.

A Valuable Opinion The Cape Times commenting on celebrating of Dominion Day, says: "It is not enough that Canada's graceful recognition of South Africa union should kindle reciprocity of warm mutual regard. It should be intensified and solidified in every possible way. Our producers and merchants should build up trade with Canada. Divorce Commission Mr. Plowden, the Metropolitan Magistrate, recently said: "I think the common-sense view is that if both parties to the marriage contract want the contract cancelled and can satisfy the court that they have done their best after years of endeavour to live reasonably happy, lives together, and that the contract has hopelessly broken down and life is unbearable, that the contract has failed of itself, then the parties should be allowed, under stringent conditions, to get a divorce." Building Canada's Navy Engineer-Lieut. P. C. W. Howe has been lent by the Admiralty to serve as consulting engineer on headquarters staff at Ottawa in connection with the organisation of the Canadian navy. Lieut. Howe, who was appointed an engineer-lieutenant in 1898, passed a special course at the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Royal Naval College at Greenwich. He obtained the £50 Whit- worth Exhibition in 1892 and the £60 National Scholarship in the following year. A Mother of Parliament The Oxford Union, which appeals for funds to defray the cost of necessary extension, arose from very modest beginnings in 1823, as the "United Debating Society," the meetings of which were held by turn in the rooms of the members. At first the University authorities discouraged the Union, and for a long time they refused anything like direct countenance. A local habitation was found in 1852 by the acquisition of the present site, which was enlarged in 1878 by the purchase of the house and garden belonging to the late Rev. Hy.

Cosetti continued to fumble with the papers on his desk as he listened to MacGuire's departing footsteps. Then he turned to Mucia. "You come too soon," he snarled. "You should have waited until MacGuire had gone." "But " began Mucia. "That's all right," interrupted Cosetti. "I forgot you didn't know why I wanted you to come." He turned his chair and looked Mucia in the eyes. "Those men think a great deal of you, don't they?" he asked. "I try to help-a them," replied Mucia. "Bah! You do help them, of course. It's because you can speak a little English. Well, they'll do anything you tell them to do, won't they? I thought so." Cosetti paused a while. "Do you want to make some money?" he asked.

"Of course " began Mucia. "Of course you would," cut in Cosetti. He moved his chair closer and pointed a lean forefinger across the table between them. "How much money do those men down there think they are going to get?" he demanded abruptly. "Two dollars for da each day," said Mucia. "Twenty-five days, dat es da fifty dollars. Twenty goes for da board." "You're a fool!" said Cosetti. "The whole pack of you are fools. Who said two dollars a day?" "You told-a us—in New York." "Ah!" said Cosetti. "That was in New York. Do you know where you are now? You are in Montana, two hundred miles from a town of two thousand inhabitants, seventy miles from any sort of a town at all.

POOL 623 Yates St. Phone 448 Watson's Old Stand IO TIIE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1910 EDITORIAL NOTES WATER It is possible that, if Victoria had more water it would have less dust, but the signs of the times are not very favourable. The Fire Chief complains of low pressure in Esquimalt, and every evening those who water tlieir gardens run short. Thus early in the season have we struck the feeble flow. Meanwhile, the Esquimalt Waterworks Company, with whom our only hope of salvation lies, is busy laying mains. One wonders what would happen, but for the enterprise of this firm; one wonders also how long a Mayor who knows everything will shut his eyes to such a self evident fact. A GOOD CHOICE The Board of Trade is to be congratulated on the election of Mr. Goulding AVilson as its President. Apart from his many estimable personal qualities, whicli have rendered him one of the most popular men in Victoria, Mr. Wilson belongs to a pioneer family and is the head of one of its most important business firms. It is to be hoped that his acceptance of the present oflice is an indication of his willingness to yield to the repeated entreaties of his friends to take a more prominent part in public affairs generally. It has long been the opinion of The Week that Mr. Goulding AVilson is the one man who could produce order from chaos in municipal affairs. WELCOME VISITOR Mr. Scott, the courteous representative of the Mining & Scientific Press of San Francisco, called on The Week on Thursday afternoon. Mr. Scott is in Victoria in the interests of his paper, which is the property of a well-known mining journalist, Mr. T. A. Richard, who left California two years ago to accept an important position in London, England. Mr. Rickard still retains the proprietorship of The Mining & Scientific Press, which is very capably edited by Mr. De Kalb and Mr. Bain. The paper deals chiefly with Metalliferous mining and Metallurgical work, on which it is a standard authority; it also makes a special feature of mining correspondence, and has organized a board of correspondents in every active mining district. work in the Old Countiy, that indefatigable lady is becoming established as one of the most popular lecturerers of the clay. Three papers to hand this week, the Brighton Argus, the Islington Daily Gazette and the South-Eastern Advertiser, all give lengthy reports of her lectures, and speak of 'packed audiences" ancl "enthusiastic receptions." Miss Cameron has, undoubtedly, found her metier, and under the auspices of the Canadian Government is doing the best missionary work that has ever been clone in England for the Dominion. "Inter alia" she is not forgetting the Province in whicli she spent her life, for in the report of her lecture in the Cinque Ports' Assembly Rooms, we read: "In simple thrilling language Miss Cameron told of the richness of British Columbia, its size, the fertility of its soil ancl the incalculable number of fish in its waters." LAWN TENNIS The new Victoria courts are undoubtedly the finest in Western Canada. Indeed, only in Montreal and Toronto can their equals be found. There are six grass courts, one cinder court, two croquet lawns and two howling greens, ancl already the confidence of the faithful few who stood by the proposition has been amply justified. There is a large increase in membership and the game of tennis has received a decided impetus. The club-house is a credit to the committee and the architect, but most of the credit belongs to Miss Violet Pooley and the other ladies without whose determined ancl energetic aid the project would not have been carried through. Everyone will congratulate Bernard Schwengers on his decisive victory at Spokane. It is a great pity that the champion cannot be induced to go to Niagara, where, in the opinion of the best judges, he would defeat all-comers. AN ACTIVE FIRM Messrs. Bevan, Gore & Eliot, Ltd., have just made a move which stamps them as one of the most enterprising firms in the Province. They have amalgamated the important businesses of Bevan Bros. & Gore of Vancouver, and Eliot & Bromley of Victoria. The amalgamation is due to the great success Avhich each firm has achieved in the brokerage business ; success whicii is no surprise to those who are personally acquainted with the members of the two firms. All are gentlemen of the highest integrity ancl of great personal popularity ancl their English associations have enabled them to get in touch with capital, and to interest leading London financiers in British Columbia investments. The firm is a member of the Victoria, Vancouver, Spokane and Stewart Stock Exchanges, ancl besides dealing extensively in listed and unlisted stocks, will also handle listed stocks on the margin basis. The Vancouver office is under the personal direction of Mr. Bevan, whilst the Victoria business is managed by Mr. Victor Eliot. GOOD WORK Judging from the flood of newspapers which bring tidings of Miss Agnes Deans Cameron's KYRLE SOCIETIES Possibly many readers of The Week may not know just what a Kyrle Society is, although there are surely some who will remember that in various parts of the Old Country such a society exists. It ! is a voluntary, ancl may very properly be termed a philanthropic organization for encouraging the cultivation of window gardens. In . the majority of instances the gardens consist simply of flower boxes, and in the large cities with their slums and mean streets, only those who have witnessed it know what brightness is created by tho presence of a beautiful mass of bloom. The Society encourages all persons to decorate their window sills in this manner, but in the case of very poor people it donates both the boxes and the flowers on condition that they are properly tended. The Society has been in existence for many years, and it is generally admitted that it has been eminently successful in achieving its purpose. Considering the glorious climate of Victoria, and the profusion of bloom which can be developed by judicious attention and plenty of watering, there is no reason why the excellent example set by the Imperial Bank should not be more widely followed; least of all is there any reason why people who have window boxes Baxter & Johnson Co, Ltd. $1.25 For ioo Sheets Good Quality Carbon Paper at Baxter & Johnson COMPANY, LIMITED 721 Yates St. Phone 730 SWEDISH MASSAGE MEDICAL GYMNASTICS VIBRATORY TREATMENT S.

This is one of the "little things" within the reach of every resident of Victoria, which, if followed up, would contribute not a little to the many charms of the City Beautiful. DUST One irate reader of The Week has chronicled a "kick" against the eternal dust question in the Correspondence columns of the current issue. It is not easy to say which part of the City suffers most from this perpetual plague, but The Week thinks that at the present moment that portion of Rockland Avenue, lying between Cook and Linden takes the cake. For a year the street remained ungraded and The Week time after time called attention to its dangerous condition. Finally, a deputation of property owners waited on the Mayor, and one disgruntled individual interviewed the City Engineer, although the latter gentleman forgot the circumstance. Then about a month ago the street was graded, leaving a surface of fine soil and sand, without any macadam or other covering. A little later the City workmen came again and dug a trench in order to lower the water pipes, which since the grading had lain on the surface of the road. After the trench was dug two red lights were set up, and nothing more was done for a week, it being, presumably, intended that the residents should have a special opportunity for studying trenches, aud the unique system of laying water mains a few inches below the surface. This week the water pipes wore lowered ancl the trench filled. Meanwhile, for a month, or thereabouts, all the tally-hos in Victoria, nearly all the hacks, at least three-fourths of the automobiles and probably twenty-five per cent, of the transfer teams have been grinding the surface of this road until at the present time there is an average of six inches of fine dirty dust. The other six inches has been deposited in consecutive layers on the gardens, the furniture, the curtains ancl even the bed-clothes of the unfortunate residents. Appeals to the Mayor ancl City Engineer have been unavailing. A petition has been sent in, asking that the street be asphalted; no doubt this will take time, but there is nothing to prevent the Engineer from having this dust heap I A Wife's Art Displayed is Bread Well Made For Bread and Pastry we can well recommend these unrivalled | brands of Flour: Lake of the Woods, per sack $1.801 Robin Hood, per sack $1.851 Royal Household, per sack $1.801 Moffet's Best, per sack $1.751 Vancouver Milling Co., per sack $1.801 Snowflake, per sack $1,751 Dixi Pastry, per sack $1.65 J Calgary Flour, per sack $1.65 ] Small Sacks of Bread or Pastry Flour, each 50c DIXI H.
