THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST i5) 1908 Onb Doixa* Put Annum "6 Irs ago. ntal of the The passage of Earl Dudley Dudley, through Victoria is a more important event than may generally supposed. It is quite natural his brief visit should have resulted lin interchange of courtesies between the I'ernor-General of Australia and the ntenant-Governor and Ministers of tish Columbia. It is also appropriate emphasis should have been laid upon significance of Earl Dudley's utter- s at the Quebec Tercentenary and the mon interests of Canada and Australia ihe Commonwealth of Imperial peoples, these features have been widely caned and appropriately discussed. The k, however, would call attention to i Dudley's personality and to the gi- ic commercial and industrial interests 1 which his family has for so long been iciated. The town from which his title erived is in the very heart of the Black ntry, surrounded by iron works and mines, and was first rendered famous .he industrial world by the operations me Dud Dudley, who originated iron lting; tliere more than two hundred It is also celebrated as the world renowned "Thick district, which has contributed so |.h to the upbuilding of the fortunes of |Ward family.

Late in life he married the beauti- land accomplished daughter of Sir Imas Montcrieff who thus became Geor- aa, Countess of Dudley. The present fl is her eldest son. Cradled in luxury yet charged at an early age with the lionsibility of enormous estates and in- |tries, the Earl completed his education {.ton and quickly became interested in lie affairs. The administration of the Ites was under his father's will placed (the hands of Trustees, and the young •rl from the beginning evinced a dis- lition to leave these matters in the hands linen well able to handle them ancl cul- lite the public service.

In the natural order of things he EDITORIAL will follow on to the Vice-Royalty of India, and thus while still a comparatively young man will have reached the highest office in tlie gift of the Crown. Earl Dudley is a man of a certain type; he belongs essentially to the safe, conservative level headed class, not that he is unprogressive or at all lacking in enterprise, but he has that saving grace of caution which prevents him from making serious mistakes, and which inspires public confidence. His address at Quebec showed that he had grasped the salient features of Imperial Unity. His association with the working classes through his large industrial interests has aroused in him the strongest sympathies for all who labour, ancl it is safe to say that few English noblemen more thoroughly understand the problems which confront capital ancl labour. It is gratifying that a man of such attainments and affiliations should visit British Columbia, the Mining Province of Canada, and while his official position precluded the possibility of a public address, it is certain that he cannot have passed through the Province ancl met our industrial captains without imbibing some knowledge at first hand of the country which must possess special interest for one who is literally a ' Coal Baron." The Editor of the Week A King rubbed his eyes ancl pinched Maker. himself twice this Aveek, first ■when reading in thc Colonist an editorial criticism upon an article which appeared in Collier's Weekly advocating a King for Canada. The Editor of the Colonist made some discursive comments, but it is easy to read between the lines that he for one believes that in the womb of fate a King for Canada was being nurtured. Three clays later in the editorial columns of the same paper was a brief eulogiiim of King Edward. This is the first time that the Colonist has given any evidence of affection for the King, ancl iu view of the lukewarinness which generally characterizes its attitude towards British institutions, it is decidedly refreshing to read that "The British Empire is indeed fortunate in having such a man at its head." What this sentiment lacks in freshness it makes up in truthfulness. It does not do to be too critical in view of such a generous admission, but tlie question will force itself to tlie front how are the two editorials to be reconciled? Mr. Donald Eraser is tlie A Premature mouthpiece of several ambi- Proposal. tions residents of Victoria West ancl Esquimalt in the proposal to constitute that district an independent municipality. There are many reasons why Mr. Donald Fraser is not likely to convince the property owners of tlie wisdom of his project. The first is that the population of the district is not sufficient to render independent management either practicable or economic. The second is that tlie fate of rural municipalities is not encouraging, there are few in Canada which have not made a financial failure aud which are not overwhelmed with taxation in the effort to struggle with municipal problems beyond their grasp. Tlie result has been inefficient service, drastic curtailment of necessary expenditure, and deprivation of public utilities. The third reason is that "it is better to bear the ills we have than to fiy to others that we know not of." Although it does not require a very shrewd guess to determine that in the present instance among the added ills would be the incubus of a number of highly salaried and probably inefficient public servants whose ambition to emerge from modest obscurity is probably accountable for the initiative of Mr. Donald Fraser and his colleagues. The contribution of Vic- Fernie Fire toria to the Fernie Fire Funds. Fund as announced up to date looks so insignificant as to have attracted considerable comment, but it is always well to know before one criticises. The $1,000 voted by the City is all that could have been taken from the public funds at that time. Private contributions, however, will swell this amount to a more respectable figure. The Committee which has been canvassing during the week has already secured $+,000, headed by the sum of $500 froln his Honor the Lieutenant-Governor. This does not by any means guage the limit of Victorian generosity, nor unfortunately that of Fernie's need. Provisions ancl clothing have arrived at the Coal City in enormous quantities, ancl there is no longer the slightest fear of suffering on this score, but money is badly needed to erect homes ancl temporary shelter for the winter. As a rule cold weather sets in in the Elk Valley at the end of September, and zero weather is not infrequent at the end of October. Bearing this in mind all who can afford to contribute even a small amount towards the building fund should do so. At the hest Fernie will only be an encampment this winter, ancl it will be the wish of every British Columbian, and indeed of many outside the confines of the Province, to limit the necessary privation as much as possible. Every confidence can be felt in the men who are administering the funds, the three Bank Managers are trustees, and all expenditures are made on the recommendation of men of the highest integrity ancl responsibility. A few weeks ago The Week Duly Noted. called attention to certain conditions prevailing on the G.T.P. construction in the North of this Province. Among the matters complained of was the low rate of wages, whicli could in no sense be termed the ordinary wage of the country. The effect of this was to discourage white men from seeking employment, and to favour the employment of Orientals. The matter was taken up by thc Provincial Government, and a despatch from Prince Rupert, dated August 13, conveys the information that Mr. J. W. Stewart, the Contractor, on his recent visit to the camp raised the standard of wages. The old scale was supposed to be $2.25 a day although in reality as little as $2.00 has been paid; under the new scale tlio minimum will be $2.75, whilst drillers will receive $.'i.(hi. This is practically an increase of 50 cents a day all round. The Government is to be commended for such prompt action in an important matter. Mr. Brodeur. .Minister of Fair Play. Marine and Fisheries, stands a chance of retiring from public life under a cloud, and with a misconception on the part of the public as to his real worth. Xaturallv the head of anv department has to take the responsibility for the misdoings of his subordinates, and upon this basis Air. Brodeur must shoulder the blame for many questionable and some shady transactions, but no one who knows him believes, nor has there been the slightest evidence to show that he had personal knowledge of wrong doing. Mr. Brodeur is a gentleman, a man of high character and of unquestioned honour. He is also a modest man, deficient in aggressiveness and lacking even sufficient self- assertiveness to protect himself adequately from the attacks of his enemies, lt is possible that a mistake was made in raising him to Cabinet rank, for high character is not the only qualification, ancl in the absence of administrative ability cannot be held to justify the appointment. Under these circumstances Mr. Brodeur's retirement to the dignity of the Judicial Bench can hardly be regretted, but every fair- minded man, be he Liberal or Conservative, should be unwilling for an honourable man to leave the public service under unjust condemnation. Politically The Week has nothing in common with Mr. Brodeur, but from a long personal acquaintance with him has no hesitation in saying that in the conduct of his Department he has been more sinned against than sinning, and if he has forfeited the confidence of the country as a Minister, he has done nothing to deserve condemnation as a man. The Week is in hearty ac- The Military cortl with the attitude of the Spirit. Colonist on military matters as set forth in an editorial dealing with an important deliverance of Earl Roberts. Englishmen haye been amazed at thc comparative indifference of Canadians to the importance of military training and the obligation to military service. The true explanation of this is no doubt to lie found in the undeveloped state of fhe country, the vast possibilities of occupation of a more profitable character, and, in a lesser degree to thc hostility of organized labour. The lirst and last of these conditions are passing, and iu addition the educative process whicli is so actively in operation throughout the Dominion is gradually leading public sentiment to a more determined attitude in favour of military training. The last llickorings of senseless opposition are evidenced by the action of men like a Victoria School Trustee who objects to the Union .lack floating over onr schools, but would be quite willing to haul up a hybrid decoration which he calls ii Canadian flag, it' only tin- trustees could afford to buy flag staffs. Popular sentiment is tending in another direction altogether and an enlightened public opinion is daily becoming more favourable to military displays and widespread recognition of all the symbols of British patriotism ancl Imperial unity. Of these the Union .lack is the greatest and if it teaches anything it is in the words of Lord Roberts, thai "It is absolutely essential foi' the safety and welfare of the nation that the whole mule population should be prepared to take their shnre in its defence in times of danger." To these words of wisdom The Week would append the closing paragraph of the Colonist editorial: "If the people of British Columbia are to maintain their rights against an aggressive Orient they cannot be loo prompt to net upon the advice of Lord Roberts and prepare every able bodied man to fight if need be for the defence of Ins colllltl'V." THE WKKK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1908. Correspondence. Socialism. Victoria, B.C., Aug. 10, 1908. To "Yukoner," care The Week, White Horse, Yukon Ter. Dear Sir,—In your open letter to. "Bohemian," you make a flippant attack upon Christianity iri general, and you indulge in virulent assertions, uncorroborated by plausible proofs or historical facts, against the Catholic Church in particular. Such vagaries are not new; they have been made from the beginning of Christianity, and they will be repeated from time to time, but still the church continues and will continue, until the day of judgment to promote the temporal and spiritual welfare of the world at large. To prove to you that Catholic teachings tend to elevate the masses; to foster peace and harmony between capital and labor, and thus to lead to the temporal prosperity and well-be ing of mankind, I have only to refer you to little Catholic Belgium, than which there is not a more prosperous and contented nation on the face of this terrestial globe today. It is now twenty-four years since the Catholic party came into power. In 1884, the people rose en masse, indignant at the iniquitous, godless school law that had been foisted upon them by a liberal government; and placed the reigns of government into the hands of an overwhelmingly strong Catholic majority. Ever since, the ministry, guided and inspired by the noble and elevating principles en undated in the famous encyclical of the late Pope Leo XIII, on the relations between capital and labor, have enacted the wisest laws for the benefit of the people; laws that have attracted the well-deserved admiration, and in many instances, the flattering imitation of other countries. Industries have sprung up on all sides; business and commerce are seen everywhere; not a hamlet can be found, but it may boast of its factory. Little Belgium, though it has an area of only two-thirds the size of Vancouver Island, has a population of 7,000,000; it is a rich nation, and the riches arc more equally distributed among the inhabitants than in any other country. In commerce, it ranks fourth among all the nations, and if the proportion of size and population is taken into consideration, it easily outclasses, by far, all other countries. All laws that tend to advance the labouring class have become the law of the land. Old age pensions are established, the working men and wage-earners are comfortably housed and plentifully nourished; wages having been greatly increased, though taxation has not been raised; the employes of the government are satisfied 'with their lot; 70,000 are employed on the 2,000 miles of railroad; (the government owns all the railroads), and these receive good living salaries, and a substantial pension after 35 years of service. This also applies to all the other branches of the public service. Promotions are secured, not through favoritism or political pull, but service. Contentment and happiness reign supreme in Belgium, and poverty does not exist, except among a minority of disgruntled and turbulent Socialists, who strive to sow the seeds of discontent. But in vain. Catholic little Belgium, satisfied with its quarter of a century's experience of unwonted prosperity, administered by Catholic rulers whose guiding spirit is the teachings of thc Catholic church, rightly interpreted and justly applied to every day life; Catholic little Belgium will not allow itself to be dazzled by the high-sounding maxims and theories; by thc Utopian principles of Socialism, for it full well knows what an amount of dissatisfaction, stagnation and misery such a course would entail. It has witnessed the sad experience of the town of Roubaix, in northern France, just below its southern boundary. This community, in a moment of frenzy, occasioned by the grandiloquent promises of the advo* cates of Socialism, resolved to try the experiment. At the municipal elec tions, not many years ago, a city council, composed of Socialists, was returned at the head of the polls.

Members of New York Stock Exchange New York Cotton Exchange Boston Stock Exchange Chicago Board of Trade was at a standstill, poverty and misery were rampant; the city coffers were depleted, and the town was practically bankrupt. No wonder that, at the very first opportunity of the next municipal elections, the citizens of Roubaix, by an overwhelmingly and unequivocal vote, swept the Socialistic council into oblivion. No, "Mr. Yukoner," the Catholic church has nothing to fear. She may justly be proud of her record. Her teachings, if strictly adhered to, by both capital and labor, will secure the prosperity and contentment of nations as well as of individuals. J. A. VAN NEVEL. Victoria, August 9. To the Editor: Sir,—Will you allow me to offer some suggestions for your much read paper? Will you take a walk down to the old wharfs that lies between Sayward's mill and the railroad bridge and suggest to the owners of those old structures the wisdom of building a retaining wall, and have the dredge deposit the mud they take out of the harbour inside of it, and how it would improve the city and the valuable property it would make for them. Will you also take a walk over the site of the old Albion works and look at the gravel the C.P.R. put there, suggest to the City Council the wisdom of putting a like material on our streets instead of the broken soft rock whicli turns into mud in winter and dust in summer. The gravel J. speak of docs neither. As it will not grind up, and is too heavy to raise with tite wind. Don't you think that God's vengeance will attend that man on Pembroke street that tried to get a corner on His sunshine with his high board fence? Talking about high fences, did you ever know a man to build himself a fine house, surround it with beautiful shrubs and flowers, and then hide it all with an old high board or scrub fence? Is that sanity or is it selfishness? Did you ever know a woman array herself in costly and beautiful robes and jewels and then hide it all with an unsightly old gown? Not likely. She would have more good sense. HERBERT PHIPPS. bWlr-'Q Boys' School Suits * at Reduced Prices This Week ALLEN & CO.

The Week A Provincial Review and Magazine, published every Saturday by "THE WEEK" PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED. Published at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER 13H Government Street...Victoria, B.C. 126 Hastings Street.. ..Vancouver, B.C. W. BLAKEMORE..Manager and Editor A Great Editor. Everyone connected with Canadian Journalism, from the most insignificant printer's devil up to the dean of the profession, knows something of the career of J. VV. Willison. Middle- aged men have sat beside him in the Parliamentary press gallery at Ottawa where he was chielly noted for diligence and accuracy. As these are probably the two most valuable traits of a good press correspondent, it is safe to say that he did all that was expected of him. His opportunity came when the Laurier Government took the reins twelve years ago, and he leaped with a bound from a subordinate position on the staff of the Toronto Globe into the editorial chair, lt is an open secret that he owed his promotion almost entirely to the good offices of Senator J affray, who had become President of the Globe, and who had discovered, with that Scotch prescience for which he is so celebrated, that Mr. Willison was at least as much of a politician as a journalist. The Senator's "white haired boy" had rendered yeoman service during the Federal campaign, and had distinguished himself not only with his pen but in ward meetings, and general organization work. Even at this time a nomination for Parliament was within his reach, but he preferred journalistic work, and felt that at any rate he could bide his time. JI is advent to the editorial control of the Globe was characterized by a vigorous campaign in the interests of advanced radicalism, indeed in those days nothing was too radical for the young giant who for the lirst time found himself armed with a free lance, lie smote right and left, on hip and thigh, and il the truth must bc told dissipated an immense amount of energy in advocating impracticable projects. Hut this was simply youthful enthusiasm, combined with a burning zeal for reform, reform always being writ large. Probably his most conspicuous achievement of these early days was to conduct the defence of Senator Cox and Mr. Jaffray iu connection with the Crow's Xest deal. They needed a valiant defender, for not only in the house but in the pages of every newspaper in the country, except the ex treme party sheets, the deal was attacked; it is due to Mr. Willison's brilliant defence that they emerged with some remnants of respectability still clinging to them. But the enthusiastic editor must have had many a bad quarter of an hour during this time, and long before the ordeal was passed must have felt that he had paid well for his position. Meanwhile a little rift appeared within the lute, and it occurred in this wise. The management of thc Globe, realizing the importance from an educative standpoint of travel, had given their young editor a holiday and sent him to England to study political and economic conditions, and to get into touch with the first principles of Constitutional Government. On his return he was fired with the ambition to do for Canada what several hair-brained reformers had tried at intervals to do for England, deprive it of a Second Chamber. The old cry that the House of Lords must either be "ended or mended" was taken up by Mr. Willison, only he went one better, and seeing no hope of regeneration for the Canadian Senate boldly advocated its abolition. This may have been creditable to his zeal for reform, but was rather impolitic in view of the fact that Senator Cox had recently been elevated to that dignified chamber and that Mr. Jaffray was only waiting for a favourable opportunity to follow him. The editor was "called down" and forced to eat his words as best he could, ft may safely be said that from that time the gentle dove of peace no longer brooded in the editorial sanctum. A little later -Mr. Willison found that a second ordeal awaited him in connection with very questionable transactions in which his influential friends and backers and the Dunlop Tire Co. were mutually interested. Still later there was the big transaction at the Soo which wrecked prominent Liberals and came very near to wrecking the party. By this time Mr. Willison had found out that -in a very literal sense he was a prisoner in a gilded cage. His advocacy of urgent reforms had to be tempered by an easy tolerance of political abuses, he had to wink at the peccadillos of Mr. Sifton because that once impecunious but now plutocratic Minister had been associated in important transactions with his employers, and perhaps what pinched harder than all he had found out the hollowness of the pretentions of his masters, and knew by bitter experience that instead of aiming at political purity, at retrenchment, or reform, they had long ago thrown aside even the assumption, and frankly confessed that politics was but a stalking horse for their commercial designs. The separation came suddenly; it came when the worm turned and refused a day longer to bc treated as a worm. Mr. J. W. Flavelle, equally disgusted with thc pusilanimity of the Directors of the Globe, stepped into the breach, and promptly put up $35".- ooo to acquire the News and placed Mr. Willison in the Editorial chair. That chair he has occupied with credit to himself and great advantage to the community for six or seven years. At first the paper was professedly independent, and dealt out unsparing criticism to both parties, not a little of which was directed at the miserable time-server who succeeded Mr. Willison in the office of the Globe, and who by common consent has prostituted his sacred calling to thc lowest political service. Of late the Xews lias been gravitating decidedly towards Conservatism, and the gross scandals of the Laurier Administration have been trenchantly dealt with in its editorial columns. Xow comes the announcement that Mr. Flavelle has turned thc whole enterprise over to Mr. Willison and his associates, and that thc paper will continue to hc independent. Of this I have my doubts, by a gradual process of development Mr. Willison has passed through all the stages which have characterized the career of several English editors who are now consistently Conservative. He is too clever and too experienced a man to retrograde, his personality has always been powerful an'd influential; this made him a power in the Globe office; it explains why it was impossible for him to continue to work under hampering conditions. Only a strong man could have secured the confidence of Mr. Flavelle with the enormous financial backing he gave to the Xews, and only a strong man could have secured possession of such a paper after Mr. Flavelle had spent at least half a million dollars in building it up. For the first time Mr. Willison is absolute master of the situation, and can do what he likes with one of the best dailies in the Dominion. I do not hesitate to say that what he decides to do will have a very important influence on the next Federal election. What 1 am most interested in is the decision which he must surely arrive at then with respect to his future career. Will he continue to wield the editorial pen or will he step into the public arena, and if so under which flag? ♦ EVERLASTING J JUTE SOLE SHOES.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1908 - K Square Deal in Garpets. For half a century we have been selling Carpets on the square deal principle, giving our customers the best values from the world's leading carpet factories at a minimum of profit, that is the sole reason why each of those fifty years has seen a large increase in the quantity sold, until, today, we sell more carpets and better carpets than any three stores put together, in this western land. There are carpets and carpets. One sort of so-called carpet is made like a carpet and looks like a carpet, but it does not wear like a Weiler carpet because it is full of base imitation, such as cotton and shoddy to look like good wool—garish colouring matter to look like sound dye stuffs. We do not sell that sort, it is dear at any price, but we do sell you carpets from such world renowned looms as Crossley's and Templeton's, whose name is an absolute guarantee of perfection and honesty of the fabrics; it is also a guarantee of the tremendous quantity we sell, otherwise these famous mills would not give us the sole control in this part of the world nor make price concessions which enable us to sell their carpets at the following prices;— TAPESTRY CARPETS — In low priced, hard-wearing carpets we show a very fine line of Tapestry Carpets at a great choice of prices. Per yard, $1.25, $1, 85c and....75c AMINSTER CARPETS—A splendid range of magnificent designs in this favorite carpet, at, per yard, $3.75, $3, $2.50 and $2.00 WILTON CARPETS—In Wiltons we also show a very extensive range of handsome designs and colourings.

Tennis still holds the stage and ince my last comments the Tacoma urnament has been wound up and e Everett and the Internationals re in progress. It is especially gra- fying to Victoria enthusiasts that Irs. Langley should have disting- ished herself so creditably at Ta- mia. She worked her way into all e finals, and at the present moment njoys the proud distinction of shar- g with Lou Freeman, the North- est Tennis Championship in mixed oubles. The following from thc Tama Daily Ledger is worth repro- ucing in this sonnection; "Mrs. Walter Langley, Victoria. Lou Freeman, Pasedena, Cal. Northwest tennis champions in the nixed doubles. In one of the cleverest mixed louble matches ever seen on a tennis court Miss Hazel Hotchkiss, cham- )ion, and P. D. Niles, one of Seattle's ieverest younger players, were debated this morning on the courts of :he Tacoma Lawn Tennis club in the nals for the Northwest championship >y the couple whose names and hail- ng places appear above. It was quite a severe blow to Miss kotchkiss, the clever Berkeley girl, laving counted strongly on victory in he mixed doubles. She realized, as id her partner, however, that they vould be required to play their best n order to win from the clever Mrs. _,angley, and the Pasedena man, vhose home city seems to abound vith great tennis experts. After a spirited session in the lirst et, which went to Mrs. Langley and freeman by a score of 7-5, the Berkley girl began playing a game /hich set the spectators into a whirl >f dizzy excitement. The pace she cut was a severe one, too severe, 111 fact, to be maintained. Miss Hotchkiss and Niles succeeded in taking the second set by a score of 4-6. In the final set both couples played fast and well. First the Berkeley lady and her partner would have an advantage and then Mrs. Langley and Freeman would cut their lead down by continued forcing and finally when the set looked to be lagging a little owing to the trying pace, Mrs. Langley and Freeman hustled their opponents and won out by a score of 7-5. Their victory was a popular one and the spectators cheered them for several moments. Miss Hotchkiss and her partner were also applauded as they left f'e courts. This was the only match scheduled to be played this morning. The finals in the men's singles and doubles and the finals in the ladies' singles and doubles are being played off and will bc finished at about 7 o'clock, when the tournament will be completed." Harry Pooley has been elected President of the North Pacific Tennis Association, a well deserved honour, and one which he will worthily carry. No one has done more for tennis in the West than Pooley and no one enjoys more fully the confidence of players. The Bankers' Tournament commenced 011 our own courts on Thursday, and the preliminary stages are rapidly being worked off, but it is too early to forecast the results except to say that the dark horse Jephson will not be able to win in a canter this year as he did last, when he was an unknown quantity. This time he carries the steading impost of "owe- 40," and as the limit men "rcccive- 1*5-3" Jephson will be kept moving, but there are still those who believe that he is equal to the handicap. It is probable that his hardest work wil be against Cambie. Next week will be cricket week in Victoria, and I bespeak popular support for the prince of all games. The rapid growth in popularity of cricket is one of the most gratifying features of sport in the new world. Ten years ago there were hardly ten good teams in Canada; today there are at least a hundred of equal calibre. Naturally Ontario as the earliest settled Province is the home of Canadian cricket, with Montreal, Halifax and Hamilton well up in the running. Thanks, however, to the very generous infusion of British-bom players, British Columbia cricket stands on a very high plane, and latterly the Sound cities have followed suit. Portland, Tacoma and Seattle all possess good teams, whilst in our own Province Victoria has three first class aggregations, Vancouver two, and Vernon and Nelson one each. It is greatly to be regretted that the Nelson team will not be with us tllis year. Two years ago they proved to be the strongest of all the visitors, Crozier Bourke being one of the best all round cricketers in attendance. However, Vernon will be here, together with the Vancouver and Burrard teams; there will be three Victoria teams, the Victoria, Albion and Garrison, in addition to Portland and Seattle. The matches begin on .Monday and last all the week. The Challenge Cup will be played for on the Jubilee Grounds on Friday, and on Saturday the excellent custom of playing the champion team against all comers will bc followed. I fully expect to see the Victoria team win out, but they will have a hard tussle with Vancouver. As the matches will be played on three grounds, Jubilee, Albion and Work Point, the public will have an excellent opportunity of making tlieir choice and it is to be hoped that they will turn out in large numbers and encourage the promoters of the tournament. UMPIRE. The New Grand. The programme at the New Grand this week contains two or three specially strong items, thc best of whicli is the turn by Dorsch and Russell, the musical railroaders. The scene is prettily staged and both men are musicians, who give a performance far above the ordinary vaudeville turn. The two De Comas were seen in Victoria with the Paine Fireworks display at the Royal Athletic Park. While the display is not sensational it is entertaining, the ground tumbling in particular being first rate. Miss Dorothy Dayne is dainty and wears a very beautiful directoire go,mi, and what is more years it discreetly. Her best turn is a burlesque on thc shopping lady who goes to buy shoes. Fred. Morton, the trick harmonica player, has been seen here before; he still manages to manufacture a very artistic table cover out of a piece of wrapping paper. The moving pictures are good as always. Edwin Kcough and Company in Helen Nelson's mythical caprice, "A Bit O' Blarney," heads the bill for the coming week. The scenic display and electrical effects in this act .ire the most pretentious and beautiful that have been seen yet on the local vaudeville stage. Scene two Tinibo, region bordering on Hell—a fastastic perdition, picturing earth's destruction, the (light through purgatory and the Kiver Styx; Scene three shows tlie dungeon of the Conciergerie, France, while scene four bring the participants back, an hour later, to The Cove of Cork. Dora Rolica, the Gypsy violinist, will furnish 11 musi cal treat, to music lovers, all reports placing her well up in the ranks of good players. La Auto-Girl is the figure of a beautiful woman, perfect in every detail, which walks, talks and imitates the human being so closely that it is said to be impossible to decide whether it is human or mechanical. It is brought among the audience at each performance so that everyone may examine it closely. Alf. P. James and Kate Prior will present "Capt. Barnacle's Courtship," W. E. Brotherhood, Barlow & Co., a trio of English comedians, will appear in "The Lightning Dentist," and a new set of moving pictures, and "Mendelssohn's Wedding March" as an overture by the orchestra will complete the bill. The Victoria Theatre. On Monday night Margaret lllington appeared at the Victoria Theatre in George Alexander's great London success "Thc Thief." Miss lllington has not been seen in Victoria before, but will be welcomed whenever she may return. She is an ei .tional actress of very high rank, and at times recalls the finest emotional actress of the last fifty years—Mrs. Kendal. The support was excellent, Bruce MacRae and E. K. Mawson specially distinguishing themselves. Miss lllington carried New York scenery aud dresses and the production as a whole was well worthy of the house of Frohman. Mrs. Kirk, St. Charles street, gave a very charming croquet tournament during the week, the finals taking place tllis afternoon. www A. li. Fraser, Jr., of Lee & Fraser, accompanied by his sister, Miss Bertha E, Fraser. left for a four months trip to the Old Country travelling via the C.l'.K. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1908 Sporting Comment The opening of the new club house of the Victoria Yacht Club marks a new era of yachting in this city, the only fault being that an earlier opening would have been more fitting, as it is now the season for this popular form of amusement is now about half over. With the re-organization of the club I hope that every effort will be made to carry it on successfully and although it is just a little bit early to mention the question it is not one bit too early to make a start towards securing a yacht to compete for the Dunsmuir cup which is now held in Vancouver. 1 realize that to secure a yacht of this description requires considerable capital, but I think that it could easily be secured in this city. By winning this trophy the club would achieve a grand success and lend considerable assistance towards reaching popularity. The victory of R. B. Powell of the Scottish tennis championship is another plume in the caps of all athletes in this city as it shows that the native sons of this city can give the best players in any kind of sport a good run when it comes to playing good, clean sport. From press reports Bobbie is improving in his style of playing instead of going back and it would not surprise me to see him next year make a strong bid for the championship of All England. There is considerable comment going on in sporting circles regarding the visit to British Columbia of thc All-British Rugby Football team and I quite agree with some of the opinion that have been expressed that an effort should be made to have a game in this city. Although negotiations for their visit to this Province have largely been carried on through the Vancouver Club there is no reason why inducements should not be offered them to play in the Capital City of tiie Province. With a little effort on the part of the management I think this could be arranged and I have still got hopes of seeing the Britishers in action in Victoria. Thc local baseball players came back to form last Saturday when they defeated the Websters of Seattle in one of the best games of the season and incidentally Charlie Surplice came Withiii an ace of making a no hit no run game; as it was he held the visitors down to one lone hit and did not allow them to score, I have always maintained that in this city we have the material for a good ball team and the manner in which the boys have been playing this season only bears out my contention.

The New Westminster Lacrosse team, the champions of the world, returned home on Thursday after a month's trip to the East, where they won their title along with the Minto Cup.

Now that the cup has come west it is up to tlie other teams in this Province to get busy and not allow it to remain in New Westminster for ever. The announcement that Walker of South Africa had lowered the world's record for a hundred yards to 9 2-5 seconds is nothing short ot marvelous, and I am pleased to see that the record is held by a Britisher.

If the old saying that "Money talks" be true, it is money that says with no uncertain voice that there is very little of the current financial depression felt round Victoria. Whenever a good thing comes on tlie market in this part of the world people seem always ready to pay down good money for it. A remarkable instance of this occurred at the stock sale conducted a few days ago at Mrs. McLellan's place, near The Willows, by the well- known auctioneers, Stewart Williams & Co. The stock sold throughout at a very high figure, some of the cows fetching as much as $70 a piece. These purchases, moreover, were all paid for in cash. Such incidents as this speak volumes for the solid prosperity of the people of Victoria, and the surrounding districts. Nothing Doing. Mamma—Well, Edith, how did you like the kindergarten?"

Now, if a large proportion of the "bum" actors and "rotten" vau- devillians would only recognize their own calling the long suffering public would be truly grateful. CARIBOO LAND DISTRICT.
