The Week With which is incorporated ee k End British Columbia Newspaper and Review. fol. XI, No. 4--Eleventh Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, March 8, 1913 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year NAY3L DEFENCE "No policy will be satisfactory to the 'people of British Columbia whieh does not include a substantial and prompt contribution and THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FLEET UNIT ON THE PACIFIC COAST." tho enforcement of law. It is more than doubtful whether this healthy attitude would bc maintained with the same sensitiveness and force if such an Act ns the Dominion Lord's Day Act were applied. The reason for this is not far to seek. The promoters of the legislation have departed far from their original standards of conduct. Setting out to procure a clay of rest for thc toiler, their chief object now seems to be to prevent that day of rest becoming a day of recreation. Having secured the day for him, they demand the right to tell him how he shall spend it. The very basis of their original demand, toleration for the rights and privileges of others, is now utterly disregarded by them in their attempt to abolish the privileges and curtail the rights of others. The hostility which they have aroused in Ontario and Quebec is poor encouragement to give them recognition in British Columbia. Never was the wisdom of the Attorney-General in refusing to place tho Province under the Act more clearly demonstrated than today, and the prescience and sound judgment which prompted that step may safely be trusted to protect the Province President Wilson N Tuesday last the eyes of the civilized world were focussed on the Capitol at Washington. 'It is just one hundred and twenty- seven years since the United States broke the fetters of British lontrol and made a Declaration of Independence. Since then twenty- |ix Presidents have occupied the highest office in the gift of the ntry. They have been men of varied talents and qualifications. Nearly all of them have been men of high character, who have loyally Ittcmpted to maintain the principles of tho Declaration and thc best Ideals of tho race. Some have failed; others have succeeded. Among Ihem is thc outstanding figure of the noblest and the greatest man of lhe nineteenth century, a man whose greatness went hand in hand J. ith simplicity nnd honesty. Abraham Lincoln will to the end of lime lie the idol of all hero-worshippers. He shed lustre upon the \morican Presidency as lie would have done upon thc throne of any Impire. A careful perusal of President Wilson's inaugural address vill show thnt in some respects he more closely resembles the martyred ['resident than do any of that great man's successors. In loftiness of |deal, iu frankness of statement, in devotion to duty and in n keen erception of those wenknosses in tho national life which should be ■•dressed, President Wilson is looking out over tho great nation which t.ns called him to thc Presidential chair with thc vision of Abrnhnm Lincoln. The question of the moment is not as to the nobility of bought and greatness of purpose which will animate him during the fears of his Presidency, but as to whether this scholar, thinker and Idealist possesses the practical skill nnd executive force to convert his Thoughts into deeds. It is not necessary to doubt this, hut it may be laid safely that if President AVilson proves to be as strong in action as In thought and design, he will reflect the genius of his greatest pre- Icoessor and will win a placo in the hearts of his people and in tho lespect of tho civilized world second only to that of the simple, loving, trill iant son of the soil, whose memory is enshrined in every heart. Laurel Point Bridge II K project for a bridge lo connect the old Beserve with the James' Bny District nt Laurel Point is of paramount importance. If The Week mistakes not, there is a committee I existence which was appointed lo further the project, .lust what lie committee lins done does not seem to be generally known, but the [uitlcr should not. bo allowed to lag. it is a logical slop in thc development of our transportation facilities. The Week is advised on the lighesi authority that it presents no engineering difficulties whieh linnet easily be overcome. Meanwhile a respected citizen has Iritten to the daily press suggesting n tunnel instend of a bridge. No lotibt if tbis were practicable if would overcome Iho only serious oppo- ntinii likely lo bo raised to the bridge project, thnt of tbo steamship lompanies, but enough information hns already been collected lo show liat tbo sleamsbip companies have nothing lo fear, and it is cortain Iuu a tunnel would cost at leasl four times as much ns a bridge. I'lii'i'i* is the further point ihal in conscqtieiK f the depth at whicii would have lu bo constructed in order lo leave sufficienl depth of ruler nt low tide, il would not be possible lo approach lhe tunnel at Jilher end by surface grades, but it would bo n issary lo install machinery for raising and lowering traffic at both ends. Apart from Iny other objection which might: be raised this would involve a heavy lermnnent charge for operation, much grealor than in the ease of a Iridge. These aro the preliminary objections wdiich occur when con- (doring Mr. McCurdy's proposal, but the main thing is for the committee to agree upon a definite plan so thnt the whole matter mny be ■•ought within tho rnnge of practical politics. The Lord's Day Act VERY sensible man is in favour of Sunday observance ,but not every sensible mnn is in favour of bringing the Dominion Lord's Day Act inlooperation in British Columbia. This ntli- lide is not due to nny lack of reverence for the day or sympathy with In.1 enforcement of nil reasonable laws governing its conduct. It is tlio Irsiill of the experience of other pnrts of the Dominion nnd of a growing conviction that; it is uot the enforcement of law, hut the abuse of leenso, whicli is being sought, the license lo regulate thc conduct id' Iher people in matters wdiich are non-essential to the public weal. Ililhorto British Columbia has enjoyed immunity from persecution If this lund, and sueh immunity hns acted beneficially ou the public Imper.

WOODROW WILSON Twenty-Seventh President of the United States of America. from any violation of the Sabbath without invoking the aid of nn Act wliieh in doing some good hns wrought much' evil, nnd which would rank British Columbia with the other Provinces of the Dominion, that are willing to bow tlieir necks io the yoke of intolerance. R British News Service Till') Colonist lias again called attention lo tin* subject uf a British _\'ews Service. Xo argumenl is necessary to demonstrate lhe urgency of ibis matter. Everyone i*- convinced, and it is only a question of co-operation. Some oncourageincnl may possibly be derived from the fuel ihat tin* Canadian Chamber of Com- morco iu London is now considering tin1 matter. Probably ibis is the most influential body thai could deal with ii. since lin* complaint uf the Americanization of our news reacts very directly un trade and commerce. ll is an old story, thai of the colouring uf British news tu suii American readers, and Ibe inevitable tendency which ibis coloration has to discredit British institutions and weaken the faith of tbo people in the Motherland. In Ibis day of Imperial movements, with the drawing closer together of all Imperial units, it is inconceivable that wo shall long be content lo tolerate in our midst an alien influence making for disintegration, Tlie Colonist is right in this, thnt the dny cannot be far distant when London will be tin* centre from which all Imperial news will be distributed. Meanwhile, a serious responsibility rests on the directors and editors nf Canadian newspapers, nnd that is not to prim despatches which arc obviously manufactured, but to carefully edit all despatches of American origin. Discussing this matter with n lending editor recently, The Week wns told thnt according to the correct ethics of journalism, any despatch reaching a paper from au accredited source, even though obviously improbable, should be printed, and then, if proved iu In* wrong, contradicted tbe next day. This is a mode uf procedure whieh mny b? justified by the rules uf nowspaporduiu, but it will nol commend itself to the public or lo "tlle man iu the sli I," Al the risk of being taken to task; The Week does not hesitate to say thnl nny despatch benring the enrmnrks of spuriousiiess or artificial colouring, should either be discarded or amended before publication. Many despatches are printed in the daily press which the average reader knows as lie lends thein lo be absolutely false. Surely, no sound ethics demand lllllt such despatches should be pull1!-!** I l'**r t.hp pnni'n ormanHo"-?! effect of the moment, and wdth the full knowledge of the fact that they would havc to be contradicted. The Fusilier Regiment THE new Fusiliers, or 88th Regiment, is making satisfactory progress under the constant attention of its officers. The latest announcement is that one hundred khaki uniforms and one hundred rifles have arrived at headquarters, and are now being distributed, and in a short time the. first parade of the Regiment will be held. Major Beale and Capt. de Salis have been indefatigable in their efforts, and deserve no little personal credit for the interest that has been aroused in the new regiment. That so large a number should have joined already is the best evidence of its popularity. The officers' and sergeants' messes are in full swing, and are helping materially in attracting recruits and in building up the regiment to the desired strength, An Imperial Statesman DURING his term of office as Governor-General of Canada, Earl Grey won golden opinions. He proved himself to be not only a statesman and a diplomat, but a thorough man of the world and a good fellow. He succeeded, possibly better than any of his predecessors, in understanding the Canadian people, and he sympathized with tlieir aspirations. Since his return to London he has mado many notable speeches dealing with Canadian affairs, in which he has shown au insight and a comprehension rarely found in English public men when dealing with colonial topics. This attitude has not been without practical results, and only those in the inner circle are able to judge of the benefits which have already accrued to the Dominion through the whole-hearted advocacy of Earl Grey. But he is much more than an ex-Canadian Governor; he is an Imperial Statesman, and is already casting about for some moans of strengthening the bond which unites all the outlying parts of the Empire. Ono practical means of effecting this is the establishment in London of an Institute for the Over-Seas Dominions. Hc hns secured a site at Aldwyeli, and sufficient money has been subscribed to guarantee the ground rent for twenty years. He is now consulting with the Over-Seas self-governing Dominions for the purpose of developing some scheme to utilize the site for Imperial purposes. This is practical work of the finest type- Probably no man is better able to undertake it I linn Earl Grey, and bis genius and energy are an assurance that the project will be carried to a successful conclusion. Liquor Act EVERYONE should rend the report of the debate in the local House on the Amendment to the Liquor Act and especially the remarks of the Attorney-General in reply to certain amendments propsed by the member for Nelson. The latter asked the House to enact that liquor vendors should be furnished with photographs of interdicts and also that any interdicted person entering a bar should be fined or sent to gaol. Mr. Bowser opposed both proposals in words which were weighty and well considered and which undoubtedly reflect lhe opinion of tbe community, lie said . that no class of person should receive more sympathy than the man who had acquired a habit; in the use of liquor that was practically a disease. The amendment suggested would be for the assistance of the hotel-keeper and not for the protection of the victim. Tliere was no demand for the protection of the man who was making a profit out of the unfortunate, and lhe Legislature should hesitate before doing anything lo afford such protection. Society demanded more strietuoss in lhe conduct of the traffic and tliere wcre many men not temperance crunks who believed in restriction tu the utmost limit. Tin' placarding of the photograph uf interdicts would degrade the position of a man who was in a bad enough plight as tho result of bis disease, ns well as uf lin* family who were already sufforing enough becauso of Ids infirmity. To propose thai if a man would nol havo bis photograph taken ho should be sent tu gaol intensified the degradation. .\s to such a m.*iu entering a bar-room, it was but iu I xpeeted thai be would try tu do s ttracted by tlie odour of ibe liq •. rn* urged li\ friends, lu either case In* should nut be Hindi* lu suffer fin* liml by lii r imprisonment, nor should the licensee be protected by such nn Act, It was for the licensee lo see thm interdicts wero noi allowed lu hang around burs and wen- nut served with drinks. Those w.ords breathed Iho Inn' spirit of humanity and should bu carefuly considered by everyone interested in lhe regulation of the drink traffic. When the Breezes Blow ACCORDING lii thai veracious chronicler, Sir W. S. Gilbert, tin1 captain uf tin* "Pinafore" made a rule uf going below whenever the breezes blow, If the people who live within a radius uf n mile uf su >>( thi' Victoria Chemical Works could follow su excellent an example, this article would nut: have tu hi' written, llut unfortunately, chemical odors are su penetrating ami so pestiferous that they refuse to bo shunned nml there is no place of retreat where lhey will not penetrate.

Vietoria, March 8, 1913 but it is possible at a reasonable expenditure to minimize the evil. Now that we are talking so much about the development of Victoria and the attractions of our city and now that the rate-payers are spending millions in its beautification, it is surely a reasonable request to make on the Victoria Chemical Company that they should adopt some of those appliances which are imperative in Eastern cities, to minimize the evils of an industry whicii is barely tolerable and which can well afford to grant the public greater immunity from sulphurous fumes. The Week makes this appeal in no spirit of antagonism, but in the public interest ancl for the good of all concerned. Bother Logic IN the correspondence columns of the current issue of The Week will be found an all too lengthy letter from an esteemed lady corespondent. Portions of tho letter have had to bc excised to render it suitable for publication, but let that pnss. The point is that in an avowed attempt to demonstrate that there is such n tiling ns "feminine logic," the writer breaks down with the expression, "Oh, bother logic!" One wonders what would happen to the denr sex if men also said, "Bother logic." What would have happened during the lust week at various suffragette meetings, when the speakers had to throw themselves on the protection of the police lie- cause they were threatened with a "spanking" at the hands of a hostile moli if men had not been swayed by the logical deduction in which in all ages tbey have acquiesced, that being physically weaker woman was entitled to the protection of man? But why pursue the subject? It bristles with difficulties and, alas, with feminine inconsistencies. Perhaps the most gratifying information to hand recently is that the British Government is at last awake, and has determined to abandon its illogical course of trying to reason with suffragettes. It now proposes to deal with them, and it is not too much to say that public opinion had just reached the point when the very existence of the Government was imperilled through its failure to grapple with criminal conduct because it had been resorted to by the "gentler" sex. If the provisions of the Bill now before thc House of Commons become law something substantial will havc heen done towards suppressing a dangerous public nuisance. If they fail, there is nothing left but deportation. British Born "A citizen (if a British land, born ot British parents anywhere, or born in a British land of any parentage is ns muoh British born ns if lie he enme into the world under the shadow of Westminster Abbey of ancestors who came across the North Sen with Hengist and Ilorsa, or whom those adventurers encountered when they landed."—Victoria Colonist, Marlh 2nd, 1912. THE Colonist has laid the public under a heavy debt for its scholarly and detailed exposition of the term "British bovn." It is right in saying that people have arrogated to themselves altogether too much credit because, thanks to circumstances over which 'they had no control, they first saw the light in the purlieus of Westminster Abbey or within the sound of Bow Bells. Indeed, there are some people so inconsiderate as to have travelled all over the world with their noses in the air because they were born in England. They have even gone so far as to despise tlieir less fortunate brethren, a truly wicked and detestable failing, and one particularly out of place in these latter days when everywhere Jack is recognized as being as good as his master. In view of the important ruling of thc Colonist, the savants must get together and re-write such poems as those whicli have immortalized the names of Seott, Burns, Tennyson and Kipling. Indeed, English literature will have to be edited and revised from a British-born standpoint, for it is obvious that in an Empire in wliieh a citizen horn in a British land of any parentage is to be recognized as "British bom," the ideals to which we have been accustomed to look must be abandoned; and the offspring of thc Chinaman or the Jap, the Hindu or the Hottentot, the Kaffir or the Zulu must in the future be regarded as belonging to the great family of the "British born." Mormon Activity THE WEEK again directs attention to the increased activity noticeable in Mormon circles throughout the Dominion. It is quite evident that a general movement has been undertaken for securing adherents to thc Church of the Latter Day Saints. News conies from all parts of Canada tbat emissaries of the Church are conducting evangelistic services, ln every instance they disavow any intention to stir up strife or ill will; they declare that their sole object is to preach thc Gospel nnd to go in peace wherever they visit. In a recent issue The Week gave particulars of tlieir operations in Victoria and later in Lethbridge. It is now in receipt of a communication dated Cardston, Feb, 21st. This is the headquarters of Ihe Mormon settlement in Alberta, a settlement which numbers more than 20,000 souls. Tho communication states that a big programme bus been marked out for the city of Calgary. A special dedication service was held, when four elders were set apart as missionaries. Mr. Curd, the lending elder in Alberta, ami Ibe one after whom tbe town nf Cardston is named, aimm ed In tbe press that be Imped this would be tbe beginning of a permanent organization in Calgary. Of the activity of the Mormons tliere can be no doubt, nor can it be questioned that Ibe movement is general and well organized. What is tbe Dominion Government going In dn aboul il ? Is the Minister nf the Interim' content thnt this sect, which masquerades under the name nf religion, but is in reality an organized system for procuration and while slavery, shnuld be allowed to thrive under the protection of Canadian law, and that at a time when, all the world over, the arm nf tbe law is being strengthened nnd public opinion is demanding thnt thesj abominations should be crushed nnt? Tbe Government may be indifferent, but public opinion is not. Au influential organization has been formed in the East, under the I ille nf tbe Social Service League, thc main object nf which is tn light Mormonism in Canntln. The AVeek is proud tn know thnt a distinguished Victoria lady, Mrs. R. S. Day, has been invited to join the organization. There can be doubt tbat if a judicious educational campaign be conducted by ihis League the days nf Mormonism in Canada arc numbered.

There are indications throughout the civilized world that men are satiated with the pampering luxuries of modern life, and that they are determinedly looking for some means of securing a retreat from which distraction may be banished. But the problem is how to attain this silent state. An eminent writer, Mr. C. B. Larson, in a recent article published in "Efficiency," pointed out that "all the actions nf the universe move in circles, and that while those actions are in harmony tbe centre of each circles continues in a state of absolute calm." This illustrates the movements of human life, for in like manner all the forces in the being of man move in circles, and gravitate about an inner centre, the centre nf conscious being. This centre does nnt move, but continues always iu a state of absolute existence whicli implies peace, order and serenity. AU the forces in man come from and return to this centre, but tbe centre itself is still, it is in absolute silence, and it is into the consciousness of this centre that wc enter when we are in a perfectly silent state. AVhen disturbed, the only remedy is to turn attention towards this inner centre of serenity, and learn thnt that inner state nf being is an absolute silence, the great culm of the soul. It is the power nf the mind which alone can force us tn realize that there is in the very heart nf our being an iinpluinbeil depth nf stillness and quiet. When this is realized, the will can easily dominate confusion aud bullish it. The speedy and certain attainment of this serenity of confidence and conviction is a matter of mental training. It grows in influence like the repeated exercises nf motive power. Continual practice will constitute it a permanent part of our system. It is the most powerful attitude that the mind can occupy and as men understand more of psychology they will know that it is not their universal heritage but; their natural antidote for disquiet and unrest. When this lesson has been learnt, "regeneration by silence" will become an easy matter. The Water Question TUK Mayor and Council nre to be congratulated on the promptness with whicli they have accepted the inevitable and decided to connect the city water mains with those of the Esquimalt Waterworks Company at Harriet Street. Any other course would hnvo laid thein open to severe censure; thc conditions at Elk Lake are notoriously unsatisfactory; the water is lower by many feet than i-' usual at this time of the year; there is no possibility of replenishing our supply in any other way than that suggested, and as it has been so forcibly recommended by the City Engineer, there could have been no excuse for refusing, as there was no excuse for delaying, compliance with his request. The course now being pursued is thc on recommended by The Week three yenrs ago. It will ensure an adequate supply of water for all purposes, and will probably be required permanently. At any rate it is not likely thai the Sooke water will be available for three or four years, and by that time the demands of Victoria will have increased so greatly that it will probably be considered the course of wisdom to maintain a connection whieh would have been established long ago, but for inconsiderate prejudice. Turned Back ON Sunday afternoon last a strong, burly man with a stentorian voice might havo heen seen walking up nnd down in front of tho Vietoria Theatre, inviting all and sundry, in a whisper which would easily be heard for a quarter of a mile, to enter the theatre and hear an address to working mon. He invariably wound up with the cheerful announcement, "there's a few seats left." The attraction was Mr. Joseph Ettor, a prominent official of the I.W.W.'s, who had been tried for a serious crime in thc States, and who having been deemed by the Immigration Department an unfit and improper person to enter Canada, had been turned back at the boundary. Consequently the audience in tho Victoria Theatre had to put up with a substitute, who no doubt proclaimed the doctrines of the I.W.W., with the same vehemence and lack of reason whicli would have marked tho address of Joseph Ettor, had lie been present. It may be a little thing, but the Immigration Department has rarely done a wiser one than in turning back this blatant demagogue who thrives nn anarchy, who represents nobody but a band of professional agitators, and who is undoubtedly the greatest enemy which thc cause of Labour has. There was a time uot, so long ago when the members of the J.W.W. wero noisy; the cool nnd determined reception which they met witb al the hands of the Attorney-General of this Province has proved effective in cooling their ardour, despite the hysterical predictions of Jliss Agnes Laut, who had "bad dreams" about the future of the movement. It has not, taken long for British law firmly administered to demonstrate its entire adequacy to suppress the vagaries of an anarchistic movement. In fact there is only one movement wliieh up to date it has not proved itself able to suppress. look upou ourselves at nil limes as guests.

When every member regards himself ns lhe one upon whom the greatest, individual effort should fall nnd tries tn bear up manfully under the burden, then, yon may depend, there will be nn accomplishment that will lift Victoria out of any rut; she ever slipped into and keep her out. The luncheon next week will bo a real live affair. Mr. P. Napier Denison, of the Meteorological Bureau, n scientist ol! considerable note nnd a mnn who is making a name for himself and for A'ictoria, will be the principal speaker. In n brief address Mr. Denison will give some interesting facts about Victoria's wonderful climate. Every member present, last Tuesday promised faithfully to bring nt least one friend who is not a member nexl; Tuesday. Let every member do this and there will be a gathering that will bo able to do something. The actunl work of the club is going ahead iu good shape.

The executive are giving of tlieir time and effort and, with every member pulling properly there will be no stopping the onward rush. Find something to do, all you members, AND THEN DO IT. THE line-up of workers for tho increase of membership wns made at the weekly luncheon on Tuesday lnst and should produce results. Almost every man present pledged himself to devote from an hour to two hours daily to working for new members. If they live up to the pledges there should be some smoke arising very soon.

I am aware that this is a characteristic of my own sex. I know tbat the average man hates to nsk his way anywhere and prefers to risk walking a mile or so in tlie wrong direction to betraying his ignorance, nnd I know that this reluctance is intensified if their happens to be a lady with him. But nothing really excuses the crass folly of blundering into the wrong seat at a theatre, thereby placing one's companion in nn uncomfortable position, to say nothing of causing extra nnnoyunce to the other seat- holders when the rightful occupant comes along. Within tlie pnst two weeks I hnve seen three instances of this folly close to my own seat, nnd I hnve not the slightest doubt but thnt it linppens every night in some part of the theatre or other, where it affords a glaring example of the awful results of conceit. ... ... .. .. It is astonishing to me that so few people seem to appreciate the glorious possibilities of tbe walk nlong the cliffs of the Dallns Rond beyond Beacon Hill. On a fine Sunday afternoon, when one might expect to see all the world and his wife enjoying the view and the fresh air on the open spnee along the shore, the place is comparatively deserted. Last week a walk around the headland revealed but few and even the Park failed to attract more thnn n slight proportion of the populace. No one cares about going anywhere now-a-days unless there is some object in view. It should not bo necessary to call upon a band to attract people to Bencon Hill Park; its own natural beauty, hampered though that be by the abominable menagerie maintained there, should be sufficient.

It was dry, too. "11! 11 1" said the man, nnd kicked the tub with his bnre toes in childish anger. " Boo-oo-oong!" |replied the tub, hurting his corn dreadfully. The tired business man went to bed and dreamed of angry citizens lynching Victoria's water department officials, and tossed in his sleep and rubbed off some of the dust on the counterpane and pillow, and woke up with a grouch. Something like this hnppcns every night in Victoria. ... ... ». .* AMONG the most interesting men who have drifted into Victorin recently is Mr. C. E.

Victoria, March 8, 1913 REAL ESTATE & FINANCE __tss—ss_i_ THE renl estate business in Vietoria is in a healthy nnd active condition. There are some people who doubt this, but they eonie from eities where there has been a buorn which bus subsided, and connot quite understand a eity in wliieh real estate is not tt speculation but an investment. Some cities start in with the expectation of having a rush sale of lots for u year or so; they lay tlieir plans accordingly, and by the end of that time they have successfully killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. It is easy enough for a couple of hundred real estate agents to effect this happy dispatch. They have only to follow the lead whieh has been set in ninny Eastern cities, and, unfortunately, iu n few Western. Ily over-valuation, exaggeration and misrepresentation it is possible to get things going and keep them humming— for a little while. But the bottom is soon knocked out of a movement of this kind. Tlio only real estate boom wortli tbe name is one bused on business principles. To carry such a movement to success you must have the "guuds." If it is a ease of selling swamps nnd muskegs for town- site lots, then lake methods may bc necessary, but if you have the "stuff'' to sell in a solid, progressive eity with a future before it, then the less exaggeration the better. The "stuff" speaks for itself, nnd steady trading year in and year out produces the best results. This is exactly the character of Vietoria. Here is the most conservative city in Canada, with the finest climate, the most beautiful scenery, and the greatest possibilities of any. As to the two former, there is no room for argument; the latter may fairly be questioned, but not by anyone who has taken the trouble to ascertain the facts. A few of thein may lie briefly summarized ns follows: In five years the population of Victoria has increased from 23,001) to 00,000. With it all the evidences of commercial success, such as bnnk clearings, custom bouse receipts, and shipping returns have kept pace. The area of the city has expanded nbont four-fold nnd is still expanding. Last week the Hudson's Hay ('ompany put their first subdivision on the market. How did they conduct the sale? There was no advertising; no pictorial display; no magic lantern; no publicity. But for 24* hours a line of people sat outside A Few Choice Residential Lots on VIEWFIELD FARM Are Still Available for Purchase at The Hudson's Bay Company's Land Department Offices WHARF STREET VICTORIA, B. C. TYPICAL SCENE ON MALAHAT BEACH lin; offices of the company on Wharf Street throughout a rainy day and a chilly night in order to have the first chance of procuring a lol. l\o agent was allowed to purchase for himself. The sales were made exclusively in "bona lido" investors who put up iheir own money. No person could buy more than Iwo lots. The result wns thai on the first day hull' the lots were sold nnd lhe balance are going nff rapidly, Moreover, nnd here is the most remarkable feature of all, no fancy price' wus asked, and no attempt wns made In force lhe price. The lots were priced well below the market rate for similar stuff, nnd ■could easily be turned over within a week for advances ranging from 2(1 to 30 per cent. Some people may think that Ihis wns not smart; that it was not good business. The Week holds that it was the best of good business, because il showed a spirit of fairness and outlined a policy not short-sighted lint far-seeing, and ihis is lhe Victoria policy. Since the Hudson's Bay sale. Mr. William Sloan, ex-M.P. for Atlin, has snld his well-known properly on the Carey Road for over $100,000. This properly is three and a half miles out, nnd yet will be required for subdivision in llic almost immediate future. Tliere is not much bind within three and u-hiilf miles of lhe City Mall remaining lo he subdivided. What is the explanation of this wonderful development? Is ii simply "hot air"? Is it nothing hut a speculative craze? Is it due lo the clever manipulation of expert sales agents? Not by any menus. It is based, first, on lhe natural conditions and surroundings of Victoria; next on the ccrliiin effect on our shipping ami commerce of lhe opening of the Panama Canal next year, and lastly to Ihe fact Ihal. Ihe Provincial Qovernment has been able to effect such agreements witb the great transcontinental railway companies and tlio Dominion Government as to ensure the expenditure of from $5,000,000 tn $10,000,000 a year for some years tn come. And the work has only just commenced. Tf an investor wauls any better guarantee than Ibis he must seek it elsewhere. This is all that Victoria can offer him, but it should be enough. TIIE outstanding topic of the week is the announcement that the British Columbia Electric Railway Company are to extend the power plant at Jordan Hivcr. When' the plant was lirst established it was confidently expected that it would serve the needs of the community for many years, but the development of Vietoria and of the Saanich Peninsula in general lias necessitated improvements, extensions and alterations which will increase lhe total appropriation by close on three-quarters of a million dollars. The full capacity of the Jordan Eiver plant is 12,000 horsepower. This is now being obtained, the repairs necessitated by the accident ot December last, when lightning struck the works, being completed. It is now proposed to double this capacity and the installation of another 12,- 000 horsepower plant is being* rushed ahead. New reservoirs for construction purposes have been constructed, uew flumes and other similar works have been installed and the buildings almost doubled in capacity. In addition, the improvements provide for the installation of units bringing the ultimate capacity to between ;i(i,000 and 40,000 horsepower. By May of this year it is expected that the line which will supply light and power to the residents in the Peninsula on the route of the suburban tramway line will be erected, and by the end of that month such residents will be enjoying the privileges now confined to the dwellers in the city. Branch lines will run east and west from the main feed line at all points where the demand warrants construction. *.♦ . ♦♦ ♦♦ MESSRS. Leeming Brothers of this city were responsible for one of the largest sales of*acreage pui through in Victoria for some time on Monday last. The property in question comprises about seventy-two acres and was tbe property of Mr. William Sloan, formerly Dominion Member for Comox-Atlin, and the consideration was in the neighborhood of $135,000. The purchasers are understood to be an English syndicate but up to the time of going to press it has not been found possible to learn witb what specific object the property was bought. In all probability it will be sub-divided and if tbis is the case it should find a ready market. • • . • AS. BARTON, agent for the Malaluil Beach properly, is delighted over llic wny the public have taken interest in the proposition, sixteen waterfront lots being sold already, I hough the property hns been in the market but n short lime. Malahal Bench is situated on Mill Bny at one of the Island's prettiest und mosl sheltered inland shores, and makes nn ideal home-site for Victorians, being accessible In the cily, possessing beautiful waterfront suitable for bathing, boating, and Belling, and capable of access by wnter iu, of course, nny season of lhe year. Negotiations for a line modern hotel are now under way. It will he sil uated on the property, and Mr. Barton says it will be one of the finest of its kind in the Northwest, thoroughly modern in every respect. Arrangements have nlso been made for a wharf for launches nnd pleasure boats, which mny bc expected to swarm around Malahat Beaeh as thickly as (lies around treacle next summer, judging from the statements of yachting enthusiasts who have cither bought, or who plan buying, property in this ideal and sheltered waterfront subdivision.

Victoria, March 8, 1913 A British Columbia Newspaper and Review Page Five IF nil grandmothers were such as May Robson it would be a happier and a wiser world. J think Hint Ihal. may be tnken as Ihe moral lo he learnt from lhe farcical play, "A Night Out," which was presented wilh great success mi Monday last nl the Vietoria Theatre. Jliss Hobson plnys the purl of llic old lady who has nol lost sympathy wilh the joys of youth, and who has no patience with the Cul- nnistic tendencies of her married laughter. She typifies Unit iilenl lderly relative, so seldom met in renl ife. Hie oue who understands nnd .ither looks forward to a harvest of ivild oats reaped by the younger gen- ration. May Robson excelled in the pari, n "A Night Out" she is thc play nd the whole play. The olher char- cters are merely vehicles by means which she may portray her outlook u lifo, but they were good vehicles m Monday, nnd rendered first-class tipport. As Mrs. Haslem, the striiit- nced mol her, Miss Conrad did good I'ork, and looked the part exactly, nil Miss Punish gave an equally rod representation of the busybody oighbor full of nil unchnritablcness. f lhe men, Mr. Paul Decker took rat honours wilh his boisterous ren- ering of tlie care-free scapegrace. "A Night Out" certainly fulfils Is function in slngelnnd; it wns writ- en to dispel dull cure nnd raise n niigh, nml ns plnyed by Miss Mny obson and her company it certainly Iocs ils duty. Jnnies Blackburn, Ray M. Ripley, us Jack Worlhinglon, were ull unusually efficient compared to others who have plnyed the roles. Miss Etta Farns- wortb ns Sndie, lhe pert maid, und Miss Josephine Rice ns the lovable old huly, Mrs. Lee, were happily cast and in fact the play from beginning to end left nothing to be desired. ... ... THE lust three turns at the Empress Theatre this week nre really very good. Nat Carr, lhe Hebraic comedinn, in "The End of llic World" puis on some pantomime work nl the close of the play whicli is far above the average of vaudeville acting, und though the sketch itself is feeble in lhe extreme, nnd the support is weak, his unassisted climax is well done. Wallace Calvin is a magician of ability, and though the rings introduce an old trick, he manages to invest them witli a new magic aud manipulates Ihem more skillfully nnd gracefully than most of his rivals. The bill ends with an acrobatic extravaganza by Knapp and Cornulln, one of whom is Ihe inevitable clown, who nl- wnys makes good. The two nre clever nnd amusing, and wind up a trio of good performances. The first two turns nre not particularly strong, Hilda Gylder making up in abandon whnt she lacks in art, nnd the Philip- pino Quartette compensating, presum- nbly, for the monotony of Iheir instruments with the originality of their personal appearance. The Onumont Graphic, however, this week deserves und was written by Jenn Briquet, who ccrluinly bus n keen sense of what the public desires in tlie way of popular song, and whose invention of fascinating melody seems limitless. The entire work wus adapted for the American stuge by George V. Ilobnrl, who is responsible for so ninny of our big musical successes. The I ille role will he plnyed by Miss Grace Drew, the prima donna who scored n success lust season in the leading role of llle No. .1 "Chocolate Soldier" Co. The comedy role will bo played by Cnrlton King, the well- known Broadway comedinn. Charles F. Orr nnd n carefully selected New York cast will interpret the other parts. :-: :•: DISPLAYING their usual keen interest in suplying the latest and best of theatrical offering's, the Williams Stock Compuny will next week offer a scintillating society comedy, "A Widow's Whims," one of the season's few genuine successes in "New York Cily. It tells nn nil to common story in that n fascinating widow's charms succeed in luring a young married man from his allegiance to un unusually lovable wife, but it differs vastly from the usual both in treatment and in the finale. From the beginning of lhe play, whicli opens in tlie apartments of Mr. und Mrs. Howard Stanton, to tlie final curtain, the interest is sustained to tlie point of intensity. Jlrs. Blnokmore, lhe widow wilh a penchant for married men, indulged in tlie delight of nn auto ride witb Jir. Stanton, the ride ending ill an accident in which neither were hurl, but from which ench emerged anxious to keep the story of Ihe escapade from the daily papers. Mr. Stanton wns recognized but the identity of his companion hud not been established, though the shrewdest of the reporters, Jir. Lynch, is so close to the truth thnt Stanlon and lhe widow are very uncomfortable. Wise for her yenrs, young Jlrs. Stanton knows Hint her husband's predilection for the guy widow is jusl n passing fancy, and determines to win him away from his captor. Tllis she easily accomplishes by force of her own sweet self, aided by firm determination nnd very clever action. Jliss Page will show her talented versatility as the young wife of Stanton, nnd Jliss Fnrnsworlh will have a role whicii will lil her like a glove, in lhe character of JIrs. Bhickmori A Reformer WHEN Edillii lakes her il'aily walk, She wears a skirl in lil And finish irreproachable, That has the modish slit. She also dons the latest fnd On folks of fashion seen— Silk hose adorned with serpents wrought In pink and blue and green.

GREATLY to the surprise und delight of music-lovers, there wns an excellent house ut the concert of Mischa Elman lust Saturday night; and those who in previous limes hud been compelled to sil shamefacedly while a famous artiste's eye run dispassionately down rows of empty seals, were spared Ihis mortification, Not. only wns there a lnrge audience, hut an appreciative one Al least, Ihose who applauded only because they felt il was lhe tiling to do watched Hie olhers carefully and made mistakes only ouce or twice, as when a storm of plaudits indicated lo the violinist Ihal lhe elite of Victoria quite approved of hiin—right in llic middle of a concerto. As usuul, Ibe gallery, composed of rare and temperamental souls witli lean pocket books hut keen appreciation, was llic mainstay and guiding voice of the house. At first Elman, apparently n moody young mau with eye glasses und 11 judicial nir, displayed only a flawless and crystal technique in Hie opening selections of Beethoven's Sonata in I'1 Major. His next offering wns the beautiful F Sharp Minor Concerto of Krnst, encored with Chanson cl Puvune by Couperin, The delightful Rondo Capriccioso familiar to lovers of Saint Sncns came nexl, then Chopin and Wilhelmj's Nocture from Opus 27. Typically German were the Waltzes by Hummel und Burmester, and Elman showed a relish in lhe pas- Inriil swing with which he played them. His own arrangement of Siiininnrlini's Love Song was nlso enjoyed; hul not so keenly us lhe voluptuous Hungarian Dance of Brahms- Joachim. Zigcunerweisen, most famous of Surusule's works, wns given with n brilinncy that mnde the audience marvel; und the encores, which were coaxed one by one from the retiring genius by an audience reluctant to leave, included Kreisler's arrangement, hiebesfrcude; Meditation, by Massenet, nud, of course, llunioreskc, the Dvorak melody Ihal is ranked by many enthusiastic people as fully equal lo iheir favorite "Beautiful Doll." Elman did mil seek In he much struck wilh II111 *oske, and played il a lillie curelessly; bill al that, it wns exquisite. Tliere is u wonderful versatility to the tones Elman creates; lhey rnnge from the insolent clarion-note of 11 forest-horn to the divine huskinoss of a perfeel contralto. There is no describing Ihem; they express lhe mosl delicate shades of emotion fell by a strong and line fancy, free from all physical limitations of technique. TOSp LHEVINNE, the Russian J pianist, is noted for his enjoyable recital programs. Willi rare skill hc contrasts gems of the ancient and modern school, offering selections of such beauty Unit lhey appeal In nil lusles, lo layman and musician alike. Under lhe mngio of ihis gronl artist's touch lhe piano sings, and shows chnrnis thai arc a revelation to all unfamiliar wilh Llicvinne's recitals. The famous Russian hus recently milled io his many previous triumphs brilliant suecesos in Madrid, Berlin, Vicuna, Prague Budapest, Hamburg, and Bremen.

Victoria, March 8, 1913 The Ear of the ^VorlJ I AM tempted to pursue the train of thought launched last week as * a consequence of Miss Harriet Monroe's remark tliat "tlie world lias grown too big for anyone to write a masterpiece, that no one can catch the ear of the world, as writers did in the days gone by." With tllis statement as a general proposition I entirely disagree. There is a sense iu which it. is partially true. The trend of twentieth century civilization is in the direction of cosmopolitanism. The telegraph nnd telephone, to say nothing of the steamship antl railway train, have demolished all harriers. The pulse of the world is under everyone's finger. As it throbs nt the Antipodes it is felt throughout the whole of civilization. Where a hundred ybars ago one man could read nnd write, today there must be at least n hundred who cun do so. Thc cheapening of publication nnd the development of newspapers nnd magazines hnve brought literature of every kind under the public ken. People now rend and judge for themselves. A hundred years ago, in Euglund, for instance, the village sut nt the feet of the parson or the squire, and their dictum was accepted on nearly every subject. In the eity there were leaders of thought to whom the masses listened, but, half understanding, yet nil nccepting. Thnt duy hns gone for ever, and the people now judge for themselves and their verdict it is whicli carries. With the spread of education, not only the number of readers, but of writers, has enormously increased. The statistics of printing houses will show that that increase hns been almost fabulous. The elfect of this is lo render it more difficult thnn of yore for a writer lo make his mark, and for his book to catch ''the ear of the world." Bui only more difficult be- cnuse Ihore nre so mnny more suppli- nnls for the favour, and so many mora judges. Even of lhe classics nud ancient literature it is lhe people who nre the permanent judges. We sny Ihal a writer lives not because liis works are found iu the collection of some great scholar or antiquary, who hns stamped upon them'the seal nf liis approval, but because lhey mny be sought upon the shelves nf our public libraries. I know that fame is ephemeral, nnd thnt a book mny get n vote today nnd lose it forever tomorrow, but I also sny thnt the recognized great books of the world, lhe books which have "caught its car." the books llint are included even by bibliophiles in the lists of the "Hundred Hest." cle. nre the books whicli iu the olid huve won nut anil which the people buy and rend. If Ibis test bc applied In Miss Monroe's stuleiuciit, il will hnve tn be admitted thnt she is misleading. All thnt may be conceded is the difficulty of arranging the perspective. Fow bunks cun be judged near by. It is true of a book ns nf n man, thnl il (likes time to gel rid of lhe superfluous, nnd to settle down to nn esli- mnle Unit will abide. If Aliss Monroe thinks thut il is possible today to register final judgment nn books written within the lnst decade, I shnuld grontly doubt lh r- rcctness of such n judgment. Admitting thnt some authors coino In their own quicker than others, and Ihnl n really great bnnk muy strike home quickly, it still remains thnl he would be n very bnld man who wnuld venture today either in slaughter or In enshrine a single book written since the twentieth century dawned. For this reusnii I hesitate In be in the least degree dogmatic when speaking nf recoil! prodnclinns*. bill we nre supposed In be considering masterpieces, and u masterpiece is in n clnss by itself. II is not merely n big bnnk, u clever bnnk, nr u good book. It must bc u book of lowering stipreinncy which appeals In the people of nil nationalities, to the nice rather thnn to nationalities, nnd to the elementary principles whioh underlie all human understanding. Such books were written by Scott, Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot and the Brontes. There I stop. Whether such books have been written by any subsequent English uutlior I hesitate to say. Time alone enn tell. Personally, 1 think Meredith and Hardy may come to be classed with the Immortals. But of this tliere is no doubt, thnt Valera in Spain and Turgenieff anil Tolstoi in Russia have written masterpieces, which have caught the ear of the world. lt would be an easy and a pleasant task to demonstrate this, especially in the case of Tolstoi, who already stands out as the most heroic figure in the nineteenth century. A man who dipped his pen iu blood and wrote of the flaming wrongs of his countrymen until the world rose to force the righting of these wrongs. A man who wrung reform from reluctant Cznrs and corrupt bureaucrats. A man who created the Douma. A mnn who wns so powerful thnt the most autocratic nnd cruel government in Ihe world dared not lay n linger on him. A mnn who lived the life he preached, nnd in dying left his lnnd to the peasants whom he had taught and for whose privileges he hnd fought. And all this with his pen and alone; for ho never went to Court; he had no nllies but the goodwill of the people who loved freedom. He used no weapon but that which is mightier than the sword and as book after book reached lhe outside, Tolstoi came to lie recognized ns n world power. It is not two years since he died, anil he was writing till the day of his denth, uud today there is not one man with Uie slightest claim to appraise the value of literature who wnuld deny that Tolstoi wrote more thnn nne masterpiece and thnt be caught "the ear of the world." If this hns nny meaning for us it is lliul a literary style, and Tolstoi undoubtedly possessed thnl, for he wns n brilliant word-pninter, if vitalized by a living, burning message, is ns sure as ever of being heard nnd of securing u response. There nre men writing today whose work evidences lhe literary style, but il lucks Hie ring nf conviction which made Tolstoi's sentences fall like n sledge on an anvil. No, tho ear uf the world is not dull, that il cannot boar; nor is its urm shorter, Hint it cannot save. The truth is Hint il is keener thnn ever to discern llic false nnd the true. uncertain, though some liuve thought it probably the work of St. Columba, who wns certainly n good scribe. He is snid to have transcribed Mil vols. Some of these elaborately ornamented volumes, however, must have taken their writers almost a lifetime lo produce. The genu of the idea of printing is, no doubt, to he found iu the stamps with which tlie ancients impressed patterns or names on vuscs or other objects. But these stumps were only for pressing into some soft substance such us clay, uud could not be used fnr ink. Apparently printing ns we understand it, wus first invented by the Chinese, who used engraved wooden plules iu the sixth century A.D., but Europeans seem to hnve mude the discovery independently, later on. In Europe, us in Chinn, the first printing wns done by means of u block, Hint is, a slab of wood on which the design (pictures of sninls in the early instances) wns curved iu relief, nnd inked, paper or other material being then applied. The earliest specimens nf this block printing wcre produced in Germany, and date buck to about 1423. Gradually a descriptive or explanatory text begun lo accompany lhe picture nf the saiut, in Latin or German, and iu Gothic characters. The only block book without illustrations wus Donatus' Latin Grammar, printed in the latter part of tiie fifteenth century. The wooden block, however, was only a stepping stone to the greatest of nil events in the history of printing, the invention of movable types; that is, of letters formed separately, which, after being grouped into words and sentences nud paragraphs, could be redistributed and used ngnin for nil sorts of books. Who mude tllis greut invention we do not know. Many mimes have been put forward, and much controversy has raged around the subject; but no certainty is attainable. The most that can be snid is that the evidence is, on the whole, in favour of Johnun Gutenberg of Mentz, in Germany, who wns born in 1400, nnd from whose press enme some Letters of Indulgence in 1454, issued by Pope 'Nicholas V, which are still extant. They are on single sheets of vellum, 11x7 inches, nnd printed on one side only. The first renl book to be printed wns the Bible, of which the "Mnznrin Bible" is a surviving copy—so-called because this copy was in the library of Cardinal Mnznrin. Probably all early printed books were printed one page at a lime, owing to scarcity of type. This would cnuse grent delny, nnd the printing of a long book would be a tedious process. From Mentz the printing press spread in nil directions, nnd before the end of the fifteenth century, eighteen European countries were printing books. Italy bends the list with 71 cities in which presses were nl work; Germany hnd 50; France 36; Spain 2(1, Holland 14, and England only 4—London, Westminster, Oxford and St. Allinns. 'there hns been n good deal nf discussion ns lo what the early types wcre made of. Some think that Cax- ton's were of lead, others thnt they were of some hard wood such as box. We cannot bc sure. One curious tiling is, Hint whatever the material wns. Ihese early types were of remarkable excellence. They were quite as good as anything that can be produced today. The choice of subject fnr the first books was, of course, limited. The Bible and theological works took a lending place, nlong with the classics, particularly in Italy. Cnxton (1422- 1401) bad a wider rnnge. including in his productions Aesop's Fables, Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the Adventures nf Reynard the Fox, nnd various other romances with books on good manners, chess, etc. it is curious to find that the idea of a title page, which to us seems so obvious, did uot occur to the early printers. The books started straight oil with "Incipit" or "Here begiu- neth," without nuthor's or publisher's name. This causes us much difficulty in attributing early work to lhe proper sources. The colophons, or notes at the end of books, sometimes contain the required information, but not often. Tlie idea of a title page, witli names, seems first to have occurred to a Cologne printer named Tlierhoerneii, about 1470; but it wns uot generally adopted until fifty yenrs litter. Tlierhoerneii ulso begun the practice of numbering the pages; but he plucetl the figures in the middle of the right hand margin instead of at the tup corner us is now Hie custom. Perhaps the greatest ndvnnce iu printing, nfter the invention of movable types, wus the introduction of the sloping Roman letters which ure still in use, und known lo everybody ns Italics. This innovation was made by Aldus Mniiutiiis of Venice, in the latter part of the 15th century. He wus the most famous printer of Italy, and perhaps of the world. The books he printed, known ns Aldine editions, are much sought after hy collectors. His first volume in the new type was a Virgil, published in 1501. It hnd 228 leaves, and was (I x 3 1-2 inches. Its price wns nhout two shillings of our money. Aldus in fuel wns the pioneer of chenp literature. The Aldine mark is a dolphin twined aboul an anchor, with lhe name ALDVS divided by tiie upper part of the latter. If any reader of this article finds a cart-load of old books with litis murk in liis attic ur lumber room, he is duly advised nol tn use Ihem fur lighting the fire. They would buy mnny good cily "lots.'" The Elzevirs, nnother famous printing linn, caine Inter. Louis Elzevir wns lhe founder, establishing u bookshop in Le.ulen, Germany, in 1580. His sons nnd successors set up presses and established branches iu many towns, and extended Iheir trnde all over Europe. The Inst of lhe nice, Abraham Elzevir, grent-grenl-grund- son of Louis, died in 1712. Leaving no heir, lhe press and apparatus were sold. Elzevir etlilions ure about ns valuable as Aldines, in lhe bibliophile's market. Another well-known inline is Unit of Wytikyn tic Words*, u Dutchman who ul one time was ussislnnl In Cnxton. His "Polychrmiicou," by Higden, published in 1405, wns the first English bnnk containing printed musical notes, nnd he ulso issued lhe first hook printed nn Blnglish-mndo paper. Paper, by lhe way. had been introduced into Europe by lhe Arabs ir, the tenth century; it wns known nnd used in China nl n muoh curlier dnte. But though occasionally used I'm* Western manuscripts, llic material generally used wns still vellum (skins of animals prepared with lime baths uud burnishing) and paper did nol come into universal employment until nfter the invention nf printing. The vicissitudes nf nhl books furnish n romantic chapter in llic history nf literature. About the end of Hie 18th century the library nl' nn old Lincolnshire houso wus overhauled by someone who weeded oui n hit nl' whnl ho no tloiibl considered rubbish. These were destroyed, except n few which wcre begged by lhe giirdcner. who probably wanted them In use us stands for plant pots, or In give n false air of literary distinction In his cottage. At the gardener's death his snn threw awny snme nf the rescued volumes, hut retained n few. At the son's denlh, his widow snld them iu a batch In n pedlnr fnr the sum nf ninepeiiee. The pedlar re-sold them to a chemist in Gainsborough for shop-paper; but Hie chemist, noticing some curious wood-cuts in onu of the hooks, thought it miglit be worth something, and offered it to a local stationer for a guinea. The stationer declined the adventure, preferring steudy business to perilous paths of speculation, but agreed to show the book in his window. A local gentleman saw it, and offered live pounds for it. The astute stationer, perceiving Hint the book must be valuable, declined the offer. He then interviewed the chemist, nnd wanted to buy the book, but apparently the latter hud his suspicions, for he put his price up, eventually accepting two guineas. The stationer then sold il. to a bookseller for seven guineas, antl this bookseller sold it to the Right Honourable Thomas Grenville for seventy pounds. Gren- ville ultimately bequeathed it to the Britisli Museum, with lhe remainder of his magnificent library. The book iu question wns the fnmoiis "Book of St. Albans." It is the only copy iu the British Museum, nnd is almost or quite unique. Nowadnys if a mnn is described ns able it menus Hint he is able to muke money. Liorrespondence Post Office Service Post Office, Victorin, B.C., Marth 41 h 19.13. The Editoi The Week, Victoria, B.C. Sir:—My attention hns been directed to a letter in the lnst issue of your paper from n Mr. Chnrles A. Forsythe of this city, in which he makes a violent attnek on the Victoria Post Office. I would have taken no notice of this letter, but fur the fact that it contains statements which nre misleading and incorrect. I wnuld be the last one to assert Hint tllis or nny postnl service is perfect: mistakes will occur in spite of every effort to prevent them; but I have no hesitation iu saying that more than fifty per cent nf the complaints against the Victoria pnst nlfice ure cuused hy incorrect addresses on the correspondence delayed or undelivered, Mr. Forsyth bases his complaint upon four cases, ns follows: The first refers to a leiter posted by him nn lhe Sth nf December last to Scotland, which he slides had nol been delivered on Ihe 281 li of January. Wiihoul one shred of reason or evidence he appears In. assume thnl the fault lies here. It is manifestly absurd fnr the sender nf n letter lo conclude thnt because it did not reach the office of delivery promptly, the office of mailing is nl fault. Tn the ab sence of direct evidence to prove it, the Victoria office cannot be held to blame for the delay, as it is ouly one of many offices through whicii the letter must pass before it is delivered. The second refers to a notice-card from the Dominion Express Compuny, which he states to have been mniled to him, correctly addressed to hisT post office box. Apart from the factl that the notice-cards referred to artT rarely addressed sufficiently or corl rectly, I may say that Mr. Forsyth! does not and never did possess i| post office box in this office. The last two cases refer to letterl mailed in the city, to what he ollegel to be his correct address. As Mif Forsythe states in his letter that "h could make any allowance in case o insufficient address or change of nd dress, but there is no such thing i any of these cases," I would call hi attention to the following facts: Th greater part of his mail is receive addressed to a number on Fort Stree Mr. Forsythe left this address aboi: three months ago, and neither the nor since has he seen (it to suppl this office with a change of addrei for his mail, and his present when abouts are a matter of surmise onl; Further, I And that some of his ma arrives addressed to "Inglenool Newport Avenue," outside the limi of this city. This mail has beej sent to the Oak Bay Post, Office, the proper district office, and ntl having been called for tliere, hif been sent to the Dead Letter Offic| In conclusion I would suggest i it is a pity Mr. Forsythe should hail represented to the public a complnii bnsed upon vague and intnngib grounds, and supported only by iu warrantable assumptions. As to tl general tone nnd wnnt of tnste e: hibited in his communication—to sn nothing of the caricature of the syi tem of handling enquiries—I wi simply sny that these represent style which T would bc very sorry i imitate.

The powers that lie look well to the safety of the traveller upon Shanks' Mare us far as he is endangered by the presence of the motor car. Tlie chauffeur or owner-driver who lares to round a corner at less than a full right nngle is lucky to [et off with an admonition from the statue in blue; while if ho is mdacious enough to attempt a few blocks in the gloaming without ighting bis lumps, his only immunity from trouble is in the non- ippearance of a policeman. But still the cyclist and wagon-driver ramble nocttiriiitlly without iften troubling themselves to light up. On a recent occasion we can ■ecall, a nasty collision was only averted between a motor-car and a licyclist who was meandering ahead, by the fnct that the latter topped to light his pipe, and the glow of the vesta warned the driver if the car. It is wonderful how Providence averts smash-ups be- ween automobiles and delivery-wagons whose drivers jog along un- roubled and unlit. It's "no fair." The motorist spends valuable time, much latience, and an unlimited supply of matches in keeping within the aw by having his lamps lit after dark, or he even adds a considerable lum to the cost of his car by having electric lights which glow at button-touch. The wagon-driver, the presence of whose vehicle in lark roads presents quite as much danger as does that of thc aulomo- lile, feels he lias done his duty when he instals a feeble lantern be- rweeu bis legs, partly to keep warm, partly to inspire himself with a isoudo-confidence that a ray or two will escape from the rear nf the 'chicle and warn approaching travel. When an ocean liner bits an unlit derelict in the dark in niid- iccan, is the liner to blame for tbe result < The same rule applies to irrntie vehicles, which should lie ruled by thc same laws that govern notor cars. j .jff*1 J > 1 ..*' *!r~-'**fc ee9k _i' i lla *L» j_:f!

'' Smiling, it will be advanced, is incompatible with speed. Rapid motion sets tbe facial muscles rigid; it gives a thrill which deadens the risible faculties. The etfect is irresistible; it applies to ull humanity, and it is a natural impulse . which sets the muscles of the face when the body is moving at a high speed—an impulse which is beyond our control. A baby will smile in its perambulator—smile constantly as the nurse wheels it about at two miles an hour. The same baby riding in a motor ear loses the faculty for smiling as soon us it is aware of the rapid motion. "Tlie casual observer may consider Hint us tlie world grows more speedy it grows more surly. This may not bc strictly true, but it is certainly obvious that speed removes tlie outward and visible signs of happiness and merriment.

About two weeks ago I read on the front page of The Week a scathing nrticle referring to a letter by a lady on the suffrage question. This seems to have been the beginning of a campaign on tlie part of a paper to whose editorial columns I am wont to eagerly turn for the clearest end fairest news of the day. JIrs. Pankhurst's object was to put the Government in a quandary, and she generally accomplishes this end. Gain your point and bother logic! I very much doubt if many men could give a clear explanation of whnt this logie upon which they love to harp, really means, or what advantages they derive frum it. Personally, I deplore the tactics of the militant faction of suffragists in England, but at least they have the courage of their convictions. I would like, if you wdll permit i.e space, to comment on Hon. A. E. JlcPhillips' remark in the House that "history showed that women hnd never been disfranchised in the British Empire."

Dear Sir:—la your lnsl issue you challenge a Victoria lady In unravel aud explain in tin* Pankhurst ease "wlini would appear In the masculine mind In tie Enniluinentally nud hopelessly illogical." ll is only too true yesterday. . . They determined not to admit the ladies to vote, which is extraordinary uud very hard, considering how few privileges we poor females have. Shnuld it cume to n very close struggle, I dure sny they will then cnll upon the ladies, mid in thai ease every self-respecting woman should must certainly refuse her assistance." The lime is 1807, when one of the Spencer Stanhopes wns a candidate during the general election, und Ibe occasion when Jlrs. Stiinhope writes to her son thnt her husband's party was so certain of success thut they had announced that the women folic need not vote. In 1832 the word "mnlo" wns introduced into the Reform Act (Le- hore "person") in order to debar women from using lhe franchise. In 1850 Lord Brougham's Act came into operation which ruled thnt, in English lnw the word "mnn" shell always include "woman" unless Ihe contrary is expressly stnted. In 1808 the judges in the Chorlton vs. Lings case ruled that in the ease of Uie Parliamentary franchise the word "mnn" does NOT include "woman." Thus women were effectually disfranchised. It is a constant source nf surprise tn me In find sn much apathy nnd ignorance among educated women concerning tho needs of their sex.

Why were the Child Labor Laws not obeyed "I "Because they did not hnvo to." Why did they not have to? Who hnd the pull to see Hint the law was winked at") The answer is: Men with votes behind thein. We shall surely have these people swarming into Britisli Columbia, and disquieting rumors nre coining already from Vancouver. Yet there nre so many women 'who through apathy or for fear of being thought iinfeniinine lire nnt alive to the necessity of political equality wilh such people; that these people representing the vicious interests fear the power of women's votes is proved by the fact that whenever i propaganda for women's suffrage ii being carried on, the vicious interests spare neither time nor money t( defeat it, because, to use their owi words, "it means the downfall o our trade."

IWe are feeling patriotic just now, peciully after hearing Hon. G*. E. ister's inspiring address. We iow it has been said tbat the cause England's greatness is the purity (her national life. Iu the homes of it great class, "the respectable ddlo class" are the mothers that ve made the Empire, and when the dory sweater and procurer invade ! sanctity of these homes, is it sur- Iising that women demand the power political equality to combnt these digs? Surely in Canada where mien have worked side by side with ui to create a new nation, tbey will t long be denied what it after all only a human right. Women have done tlieir part to make for the betterment of humanity with rescue homes for girls, friendly help societies, aud innumerable social und charitable instituions, but it is not enough unless they have the power to make their representative in Parliament "lose his job" if he does not do his duty. If many of us in our sheltered homes are satisfied with our lot, let us remember there are others struggling alone in a crueller world of shame, misery, and despair. Women must live, and they must either be supported by men who in many cases have neither the ability nor inclination to do so, or they must stand on a fair and equal footing with men in the world of labor. Surely Ibis is a reasonable argument? It may even be a logical one! Yours truly, EDITH M. CUPPAGE.

This is appalling summary of the inno- |ions "nbove Ihe waist-line" that to be introduced ill lhe spring Ides uf 1913. Those of us who are id of the free and easy shirt waist h ils ample arm-boles, its loose lars, and ils generally relaxing will recall with something* nil's! akin lo horror the remembrance n period now two decades ago when I lit bodices were the feature of one's ;ryday dress. One cannot help I lidding, in view of the sudden con- it rat ion of Madame La Mode's eye the bodice pnrt of feminine dress, at new vagaries Fashion will decree the way of figure. For some time it we have been granted a some- les uncomfortable waist-line; the ire aimed at tapering proportions b plenty of licence ill the length of Iitliue at Ihe finishing point. But nebow we seemed to overcome— ise of us, at least, who were athletic 1 wished it—the difficulties of u (row skirl, and found compensa- n of a kind in lhe free use of our ns and plenty of breathing space, sides small lulls huve been so im- nscly popular that there has been le discomfort in respect to head- Jut to return to the glove-lifting lice! The thought seems too ter- le for contemplation. And we nre ther I old Hint it is to be guiltless ;a frill, and shall not even have a He to cover the sin of a dispropor- latc outline. It may confidently be ected, however, that woman, grow- year by year more rebellious to Ise I hings whicii hamper the free- In of her movements, will find some out of a difficulty which is only J intimately suggested in the latest oris from the centres of fashion. Directoire and Robespierre Ifures seem at last to be on the Skirls ure lo be fuller, and thc Iness will not affect the hem.

The Russian and mtnl influence is being shown in Inter styles, und llic picturesque sinii blouse is to be modified for ng wear, hnving already, hy menus [he shirred knee-length pephini, loincd us, more or less, to the Iliy appearance over the hips. The I position of the waist-line has I yet heen determined by the (ipters in such matters, and, left Iself, Femininity has recklessly, often most picturesquely, hit upon exact fashion suited to the figure he individual. Some have dis- led with the waist-line altogether, we remember having recently seen !ry stunning effect in n gown made if almost sheer lines from head to be figure, needless to sny, be- ionc of those absolulely devoid of rcs, nnd made up of what might Iuloxically bc termed "graceful ight lines," is little more thnn n your ago one of the leading Paris cos- Sieres attempted to introduce the lier in its most extreme form. The it occasioned no little commotion, und several even of the more dignified daily papers of both continents discussed the subject quite seriously. The efforts to modify a fashion which, on its first appearance, certainly had the slump of exaggeration, have resulted in the toning down of the pannier, and a blending of the draperies to form part of the skirt itself. Another innovation which, like every fashion known lo modern womankind, has had its counterpart in a bygone period, is the sleeveless coat. This, however, is not yet fully launched, and wc will have to await the coming of wanner weather to learn definitely if there is any practical verification of the rumor. Another suggestion which is finding some support among the Paris makers of fashion, is the short-sleeved cutaway Eton jacket, for which Bernard is now pressing claims for popularity. The subject of materials is one that cannot be avoided, much as modern woman might wish to remain individual in her choice. One of the nov- elties of the season is a thick, soft, dull silk, which, being very supple, jlinpes beautifully and is extremely effective for afternoon gowns. The latest wool suitings have rough surfaces, and smart coats for wearing ■•.Villi white wool skirts may be made from velours de luine. Fancifully patterned fabrics are being restored lo favour, now that specially woven plain materials hnve been brought out to serve as suitable background for them, and one finds a revival of the plaids, polka dots, and other quaint and odd designs which in. times gone by have been more popular than during Ibe pusl few years. Of course, one of tjio first things that lhe average woman thinks of in connection with the new season's clothes is her bats, and it is a relief to many, a positive grief to others, to see that, the general affection is still toward the smaller shaped ehapenux. The arguments are various; the womuu who prides herself on a carefully coilfcd bead cannot possibly be expected lo cure for the small hat whicii bus been such n rage of late, us with these it is absolulely impossible to wear llic hair in any other style Ihnii Ihal which takes up thc least room und makes llic least display. On the other blind, llic large lint is heavy and troublesome, and gives one no excuse for not dressing the hair elaborately. Although less dignified, a greater number of women appear to advantage under llic fascinating soft outline of Iho smaller hat than under llic more picturesque if less chic outline of llic larger. Tailor shapes will bc more popular thnn either of the above extremes, however, und with the elaborate use of osl rich plumes,cock-f cal hors, jet uud ribbon mounts, these smart narrow brimmed bats arc made inlo most dressy designs. The very tint chapeau, some of fhe designs in whicii mny be designated us nothing other than boat- shaped, is to be much in favour, nl- lliough it is to be sincerely hoped Hint fhe would-be wearer will first carefully study the effect of the style on her profile. It is not everyone who can wear this particular shape. The turban still survives, nnd will probably be seen quite often despite its waning popularity. New Westminster und Vancouver, British Columbia, the Guildhall being lent by tbe Corporation, and the hosts , being represented by tbe Lord Mayor, who came in state with the Lady Mayoress, crimson-robed sheriffs, mace and sword-bearer, and the rest. The proceedings began with a procession of the Lord Mayor round the many tables crowded with the happy, expectant children, after which grace was suid by the rector, and then the feast began. And what a feast! Great plntes of roast beef and hot potatoes with rolls first, then Christmas puddings, traditional puddings, round and soft, with holly crowning them, welcomed with lusty cheers second only to I hose which greeted the Lord Mayor, with apples nnd oranges to wind up with, while a glass of milk was provided for ench child, to bo replenished ngnin nnd ngnin from big white jugs. A bund plnyed, too, and when the lirst edge of appetite wns goue, tlie si rains of "Home, Sweet Home" proved too much to resist, and were lustily joined in, ns wns Hie martial "Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue," wdiich showed that the old appeal of home and country is not without echo in the heart of the London nrub of today—anyway when when tbey have been fortunate enough to come under the influence of Sir John Kirk and bis co-workers. When even the hunger of the hungriest wns satisfied, the Lord Mayor from the gallery spoke to the children, telling Ihem of the pleasure their enjoyment gave, nnd reminding them thnt it was their fellow citizens of the Empire, though in distant British Columbia, who hud given them the feast. Continuing, be told the children to be good and work hard, nnd Hint if they did they would find themselves when tbey were grown up occupying n good position in the world, nnd then when they were rich they were to remember the dinner tbey had just enjoyed; and pny it bnck to children then in went. Strange words they sounded as one saw the obvious nnd in ninny enscs extreme poverty of the little hearers, yet words full of promise nnd encouragement—promise, too, amply fulfilled ns prosperous men uud women in different pnrts of tho Empire, themselves once rugged school children, testify. Also be told them whnt great gifts were the health nnd happiness which he rejoiced to see so noticeable amongst them, and concluded by a further injunction "to be good and work bard." Sir John Kirk then moved a vote of thanks to tbe Lord Mayor, whicli Sir Melvill Boeehcroft seconded, nnd the first part of the procedings ter- minuted. Then followed gifts of crackers nil round, nud soon ench tousled bend wns surmounted by a gay cap, after which au entertainment of morris dancing and old English songs was provided by the Hugh Myddelt School, and finally each child was presented with a toy, hugging which it joined the happy procession homewards through the ranks of the big policemen, to whom many a confident "Good night and thank you, sir," was'said.

Victoria, March 8, 1913 ©mine A W eekly Review of the Most Important Happenings in the Mining World, With Special Reference to New Discoveries and Developments. Edited by W. Blakemore, M. I. M. E. Green-well Medallist. Ti 1 li subject of colliery explosions is one of the mosl important which can engage tho attention of the mine worker, ll hus received more scientific investigation and demanded more attention at the hands of governments thnn any other of the many phenomena associated with the most delicate and dangerous industry in the world. For upwards of fifty years a special subject of study has been the part, which coal dust plays in explosions and for about thirty years leading mining engineers have entertained definite ideas on this. The pioneer of modem investigation was the veteran Mines Inspector, Sir Henry Hull, who for half his lifetime lias been conducting experiments and gradually working nearer to the conclusion whicii is now generally accepted, that* coal dust explosions tnke place in the mine without the presence of gas. Hnving established tllis fact, it is interesting to observe how, during Inte years, legislation has undergone n change, and is rapidly shaping itself to furnish protection against au insidious foe which has always lurked in the mine, but wdiose true character is only just beginning to he understood. Mr. .1 nines Ashworth. of Vnncouver. has recently contributed a paper to the Sonth Wnles institute of Mining Engineers on the contributory onuses of conl dust explosions. One of the most important points which he elucidates is thnt n so-called "safety" lamp, whieh is snfo under ordinary conditions, becomes unsafe in the presence of coal dust. He gives nn illustration in which an air current with n velocity of (i feet a second and containing 4 1-2 per cent of explosive gns, had no effect on the lamp, hut when only n small quantity of conl dust wns added to the air it wns found that the latter became inflammable; it caused thc flame to pass through the gauze of tho safety lamp and explode the outer atmosphere. Sir Henry Hull expresed the opinion thnt the Hulton Colliery disaster wns due to the failure of n safety lamp, of tlu* Wolf type, and that in the case of the Whitehaven disaster, n bonnottod Clnnny was held to hnve originated that disaster. Hnving conductscl more thnn 2,000 experiments, Mr. Ashworth concludes that the cause of failure in the lamp is often not* due to its mechanical or scientific construction, but simply to the coal dust in the atmosphere of the mine; especially fresh dust recently produced in a working place. Professor Bedson made a number of experiments which nlso bore out this theory. There is no doubt that on all mutters connected with safety lamps, their construction and conduct, Mr. Ashworth is an authority. Bear River, Cariboo, B.O., at Site of Coal Outcroppings Tyee Shale Products Co., Ld TUK WKKK has pleasure in again calling attention to the important local enterprise being developed by a Victoria Company, incorporated as Thc Tyee Shale Products Co., Ltd. This company is raising the necessary capital locally to establish a thoroughly modem brickwork at Tyee Siding on the E. & N. Hallway. It is proposed lo manufacture the highest class of red. pressed facing brick, an article greatly in demand for fronts in high class business blocks and dwelling houses. An extensive bed of shale has been located, and samples have been submitted to the severest tests. Perhaps Ihe mosl exhaustive report on lhe properly is Ihal of Messrs. Falkcnburg & Lnuoks, who have thoroughly examined and also tested lhe shale and made chemical analyses. Wilh respect lo the latter an average- gives Silica, 50.04. Alumina, 14.18. Forr'O oxido, 15.02. Lime, 1.45. Alkalies, .80. Loss on ignition, 7.20. Tl nninienl of Messrs. Falkcnburg & I-niicks on lhe above is Ihal Ihe analysis represents a good grade of shale, being low in lime nud alkalies. II grinds easily and is sufficiently brittle not to cake in grinding:. It hns excellent drying properties. If dry pressed with 5 per cent of water there is no shrinkage. The Btronglh of an air-dried brick mnde from Ihis shale is .'10 lbs. to lhe si|unre inch. There is no warping in drying. The absorption of wator aftor three days' immersion is 1.5; specilic gravity is 2.40. Messrs. Fnlkonbm'g & Lancks say Ihal bricks made from Ibis shale, whether still' or soft mud, are very lough, showing no indication of lamination. They resist hammering very well on Ihe sharp edges and have a good ring. Their linnl opinion is "This shale would be suitable for Ibe manufacture of common brick, building brick, vit- rilied paving brick and sewer pipe" The shale deposit is in the form of a hill which is cut and exposed by lhe right of way ol' the E. & N. Railway, tho Island highway also pnssing through Ihe properly. Thc shale is free from pebble, sandstone or any foreign material. No tunnelling or sinking is necessary for operation; Ihe shale can he loaded direct on to waggons or cars. It is estimated that Ihe cost of a suitable plant to manufacture .10,000 bricks per day would be $37,000, exclusive of draught kilns, which would require another $30,000. The cost of production is estimated at $7 per thousand for common brick and $111 per thousand for fnce brick. As lhe markei price of Ihe former is $12 nnd of the latter $35, the margin of profit should be $5 on common brick and $22 on face brick. There is a rendy markei for Ihis product, not, only in Victoria, but in other Vancouver Island towns, which arc now rapidly developing. The demand in the cities cd' Vancouver and New Westminster is practically unlimited, and is subject only lo the finality of lhe brick, Al present face bricks are being imported from Seal tic and Portland, even from Los Angeles. The total area of Ihe property owned by llic compnny is approximately 84 acres nnd Ibe extent of Ihe shale neluallv I ' is sufficient lo guarantee a supply for nn indefinite number uf yenrs. Messrs. Gillespie, Hart & Todd, of Fort Street, are the fiscal agents for tho Tyee Shale Products Co., Ltd., and Messrs. Tait, Brandon & Hall with ollices in the Sayward Building are the company's lawyers. THE scheme for making brick iu Kaslo ns devised by F. E. Archer is now at. the seed-time, and there is every prospect of a very satisfactory harvest. The list; started now contains the signatures of nearly every business man who hus any faith in the future of the town and $2,(100 was subscribed lasl evening. No subscriber has gone beyond $300, and mnny women have gone into the scheme. A brick machine will be installed and brick will be manufactured by contract, lt will cost aboul $7 per thousand to make and burn Ihe brick. The (day beds will bc leased on easy terms for Ihe purpose of encouraging local industry. Thc wood necessary to burn Ihe brick is close hy, consisting of lir and birch. .1. J. Fingland, as- sayer, lias pronounced the clay lo be of excellent quality, while practical men in tbe brick line endorse the scheme with tlieir money and names. I). C. McGregor, the mayor, a building contractor, for example, takes three shares, $300 wortli. Brick manufacturing here is no experiment. Millington' & Tnynton made the best of brick in 1805 and for years after. They did well from a business poinl of view, but the demand for brick was not nearly so great as now, and I heir equipment wns experimental, rather thnn modern. They made first- class brick, nnd much of il is in evidence today. * * » ■"pHE first annual report of the •*■ Utica Mines, Ltd., situated near Kaslo, is one which capitalists who have tlieir eyes on mining possibilties of Ihis country will do well to examine on account of the splendid record this property has made, and especially from the fact that lhe improvements have been paid for out of the proceeds of the ore shipped. The past year, being the lirst of lhe mine's history, has been marked from tlio beginning by success, several shoots of high grade ore having been developed and a splendid water power over whicli tbe company holds riparian rights has been been acquired. The compnny owns the land where it is intended to use the water power for mining nnd milling purposes. Drifting to the extent of 500 feci in lhe lower level on lhe ore chutes resulted in the sloping 070 Ions of ore. The gross return from this is $07,000. Transport al ion wns partly suspended from January until July, and the movement of ore wns rendered more difficult on this account, From July to November 280 Ions were shipped by pack train and rawhide to the railway. Thi- wagon rond was completed in October and Ihis enabled lhe mine to ship 300 tons, making n total of 070 tons shipped during Ibe year. This ore ran $100 to the Ion, which, after deducting freight nnd Irenlinenl charges, netted the compnny $54,155 as the result of one year's work, and that, too, under disabilities whicii nre lo be shortly removed. Development Work. Between Ibe months of May nud November n dam was built aud 1,400 feel of pipe line wns laid. A sawmill plant has been installed on the premises, wliieh will run by hydraulic power developed on the ground. Mining timber and building lumber will be manufactured on lhe spot. A telephone line connecting the mining premises with Kaslo has been installed, nnd the rigid to connect wilh olher systems hns also been purchased. • • « NOT since lhe purchnse of Ihe Nickel Pinto by ils present owners hns any event taken place llial conl ains greater possibilities for Camp Hedley Hum that set on foot by Mr. Beam, who has obtained options on many important properties in the cnmp, snys the Hedley Gazette. Mr. Benin is representing a syndicate that is made up not only of wealthy men bid of many who have made pronounced success of mining enterprises, and it is doubtful whether nny stronger concern is to be found operating anywhere in the province than Ihe aggregation of capitalists for whom the option was taken. They are known ns lhe New York Syndicate No. 2, nnd while a good many of the former syndicate Ihal look up the bond on the Nickel Plate three years ago arc in il they are strengthened by many other important acquisitions, and there is good reason to believe that the coming summer will witness exploration of new ground that will spell the beginning of the new dny when Camp Hedley will be seen to have come into her own. The consideration, nt lhe request of some of the vendors, hns heen withheld, but the time given bus been ample in every ruse lo permit thorough exploitation before payment has lo lie made. Some of the bonds nre for Iwo yenrs nnd ethers arc extended over three years. Tliere is practically little or no surface showing to warrant capitalists taking the claims in hand, but the data obtained lnsl year while prospecting under the Windfall bond, gave every encouragement to let the properly have n trial, and with the long time given the purchasers do not have to lake any greater chance than mining investors nre prepared to lake nl any time. Extensive diamond drilling will he employed, and it is not at all improbable thai one or more of the holes will be put down 1800 feet. Should the ground stand the lest il will mean a greal tiling indeed fnr Hedley, for lhe actual milling will be hy long, deep tunnels from very litle above tbe bed of Twenty Mile and will bring mining operations almost into the town itself. Tbe mosl of the properties under bond lie right in the canyon closely adjoining the town.

The local club has a strong bunch, nnd is going to get Lester Patrick lo instal curling ice al the Arena. ... ... It is hard to restrain a smile of sanctimonious yet unholy glee when rending the reports of lhe poor sen- son nud difficulties of one kind nnd another the N. II. A. encountered this year. Gradually Friend Lichtenhein and his confreres grow lo realize that hockey on lhe Pncifie Coast is quite ns well handled, if not better, than by the so-called magnates of the bullying, blustering East. ... ...

Looks ns though Victoria were on the Dominion tennis map, nicht wnhr? The local tenuis ranks have also been recently strengthened by thc addition of the Fulton boys and Pierre Denton, who performed brilliantly in lnst year's tournaments. ... ... .» ». The Cowichan Crickel Club held tlieir annual general meeting al the Tzouhalein Hotel on Monday afternoon. There wns quite n large attendance, about 4(1 being present in all. In the absence of Ihe president and vice-president, Mr. Ruscombe Poole occupied lhe chair. The retiring secretary, Mr. W. A. McAdam, rend his report of lhe year's work lo lhe meeting. The report ou the whole was very satisfactory. Il showed that the outstanding debts of the club amount lo Iflfifl, while there is still due in subscriptions about $100. This leaves a deficit on the first year of about $(10, which will no dottbl be easily made up. The total nmonnl turned over during the yenr wns $1,1.38, The secretary's reporl also referred lo Ihe greal services of Iho skipper. Mr. Carr Hilton, and lhe energy and zeal of the olher officers and players. The new officers of the club for the ensuing yenr aro as follows: Hon. president, Mr. Carr Tlillon; president, J**!"i Hirsch; vice-presidents, Messrs. l*' Mnlll-iivl-Dougntl, \V.

Several of our best men are leaving the district, but there arc many new ones coming along who will be able to take their places and muke the 1013 team a really strong one! Mr. F. C. Drake is, unfortunately, leaving very shortly for Parksville, where he will live iu future. lie will be much missed in ninny ways, but lirst and foremost as one of the best cricketers in the dislrict. ... ■>.♦ .. ». Tlie tournament put on by the Dun- cnu Amateur Athletic Club on Wednesday last was a most successful affair in every wny. it was well advertised and lhe resull was Ihat tliere was a crowd of about 400 enthusiasts present. The hall has heen lifted up for the purpose, at quite a small expense, and flic club is filling n long-felt want. The most interesting bout of the evening wns the boxing match between Joe Gardner and Hors__n.ll, one time niiduleweight champion of Eton. They gave an exhibition which is quite the best yet seen here, in fnct they are iu n class by themselves in Ihis district. Ilorsfall probably had a liltle lhe best of lhe three rounds. He is a bit, lighter and much quicker than Gardner, but it is probable Ihat Gardner's superior weight would have aided him in a light ol! more rounds. Besides several olher interesting boxing matches, there were three wrestling bonis. Of these, the match between J. B. Knox, one lime champion of Ottawa, and Bevins, of Cumberland, had been eagerly looked forward to. Bevins defented Knox in three straight falls, but it should be added he was the heavier man by 15 pounds, and wns iu first class condition, whereas Knox wns in the worst possible training, and look the door against the orders of his doctor, rather I han disappoint lhe crowd. Tliere wns to hnve been an exhibition of jiu-jitsu between two Japanese, one from Victoria and one from Chemainus, hut the one from Victorin arrived late, and on peeping into the hull! and finding it crowded, his courage seems to have wilted, and he vanished forthwith into the scenery. There is some tnlk of the club putting on another tournament before tlie season finally closes, and everyone is hoping thnt this will bc found possible. There are some really good athletes in tlie Cowichan dislrict, and ns long as the club is conducted along strictly amateur lines, ns it is at present, tliere will be no lack of support. Tho originator of the scheme wns Mr. Jnnies Rutledgc, and to him nnd his Ibree or four energetic supporters, is due grent credit for the success of fhe undertaking. I hear Hint a certain very well-known sportsman in lhe district intends to put up a line challenge cup for the heavyweight championship of Vancouver Islnnd. The sportsman iu question wns himself' runner-up for the heavyweight championship of England in his day. The Editor of Thc Week has received a very interesting letter from Mr. F. II. B. Champain who captained Ihe All-B.C. team in Victoria against lhe Australians last season. Mi". Champain wrote from Suva, which he had just reached by the "Zoalandia" on his wny to New Zealand, Ho speaks in high ternis of the cricket plnyed in Fiji on matting stretched on buffalo grass, which is much slower than our own wicket, He urges Victorin cricketers to make nn effort to secure 11 near-in ground before it. is too late to rescue a few acres from the real estate dealers.
