One Dollar Per Annum BThe Editor's Review Of Current Topics. Iilitical The last issue of The sociation," and Editor Dunn, have liouls. Week contained an ex- identified themselves with this cam- pose of the tactics pur-'. paign of vilification and abuse. It is not the Vietoria Times in its merely upon political grounds but in led by fdeavor to discredit the McBride ^ministration. The particular office complained of was the fabrica- |in of false news, and the issuance a false statement with respect to |e reception of the Hon. R. F. Green a public meeting at Salt Spring lland. Knowing that our informa- on was correct we were not at all Irprised to find a letter published in |ie Times the following day, from indignant resident, also denying lie truthfulness of its report in the try particulars complained of by lie Week. Whilst publishing this |tter the Times had no explanation offer, and tacitly admitted the |\arge of fabrication. On Monday the present week, D. W. Higgins, j \e editor of the Vancouver World, j as in Victoria and had a prolonged I Iterview with the representatives of; le Times. In the afternoon a sensa-, bnal article appeared in that publi-j (tion with a scare heading "runiour- |g" that the Lieutenant-Governor Id expressed his inability to accept le Hon. R. F. Green as one of his j reisers, and had demanded his resig- Ition, or his dismissal from the min- Jry. Within two hours of this |itement being published the Lieu- aant-Governor himself and every limber of the executive within ach had given it the lie, and the Inner had gone even further than Ight have been expected, and de- Jired that he had not suggested or fcught of any investigation into the ■ministration of the Lands and orks Department; that such inves- lation had been resolved on by the leculive without previous reference himself, and that his first knowl- ne of their intention was when he asked to sign the minute in lincil. This effectually disposes of latest canard of the journalistic puis, who for purely political purees, have for the last six months lected a campaign of lying slander, I groundless and as base as the one [t exposed. Unfortunately Canada had many illustrations of the Jiths to which political rancour can Icend in its effort to discredit and ■eat an opponent, but even the most lmeless of partisan journals have Isted on at least some shred of Bence with which the bolster up Ir attacks. The Vancouver World The Victoria Times have inaug- Ited a new era in political journal- they have thrown off the mask Aretence, and have boldly declared Ir willingness to publish anything fch jackals and scavengers may though they know that it is the |vn of their conscienceless hire- This has been demonstrated In and again since the commence- 1 of last session; charge after Ige has been preferred against Ibers of the Government, and es- llly against the Hon. R. F. Green, [ipport of which not a title of evile hns been adduced. The Van- [er World, directed hy a mnn who the interests of common decency that The Week calls attention to this organised scheme of mis-representation, a scheme which is abhorrent to all right minded men, regardless of party. Its continuance is not only a disgrace to journalism, but a reproach to British Columbia and a menace to the true interests of public service. Desperate indeed must be the cause which has to be promulgated by the Keystone. The editor of the Key- Reading Table" deals with American Magazine, stone Magazine takes publications and authors; the only exception to some re- piece of music is by an American marks in the last issue of The Week composer; the cuts of houses are by as to the real character of his pub- a Chicago firm; all the illustrations lication. In a letter just to hand he declares that our statements are at variance with the facts, but he does not particularise the statements to which he refers. Having carefully re-examined the May issue, which was the one upon which our remarks were founded, we can only detect one error, and even on that the statement of the editor is not perfectly clear. We accept his word for the fact that he is not an American but "an out- and-out Brtish subject." Our other statements can be verified by anyone who will take the trouble. The maga- of "The Latest in Dress" are Hearst copyright; the only exception to the general statement we have made is in the case of two or three short stories which have no special significance. Having thus skipped over 64 pages, we find on page 81 the tail end of a Canadian article, which was commenced on page 14. The balance of the magazine consists of 35 pages of advertising, of which 3 are Can- articles which are produced on this side of the line, scenic and health resorts, clothing, etc. We must apologise for takng up so much space with this subject; we have only done so to justify the claim we made, that the Keystone Magazine is an American production, introduced into Canada under the cover of a few Canadian advertisements. It is an obvious attempt to evade the new postal regulation. AVe believe in calling a spade a spade, and have no objection whatever to the Keystone Magazine, if it abandons the false flag it is now flying, and comes out openly as an "Last stage of all That ends this strange, eventful history Is second childishness and mere oblivion " As You Like It- adian and 32 American.

Further, the character of the advertisements is such as is calculated to most seriously injure Canadian interests, including many manufactured press We are all familiar with the old proverb that one half of the world does not know how the other half lives; but that is an easy problem compared with the solution of how a weekly paper manages to exist. The Nelson Cresman Company of New York have solved this in a manner which is at I once ingenious nnd philanthropic, and ! not being selfish they have no desire i to keep a good thing to themselves. ; They have therefore in a letter under date of June 11th communicated the specific to The Week, and ns we are receiving so many evidences of kindly consideration just now we ; think it only right to take our readers into our confidence. Briefly then ; prosperity is ensured to a weekly pub- 1 lication by inserting an advertisement j which is to be specially featured iu ! good type, nnd to have a favorable ; position next to reading matter, for 1 thirteen consecutive weeks for the magnificent sum of one dollar and fifty cents, net. There is a further condition attached which in view of what goes before is purely trivial; viz., that, two copies of The Week must be sent regularly to advertiser and to agent while the advertisement appears. .And lest any carelessness in this regard should spring up we are notified in large sized capitals, "No paper, no pay." It will be seen that this price would allow us something less than twelve cents for ench insertion, and deducting the value of the two papers required would leave 11s a little less than two cents. We have only to add that the character of the advertisement is such thnt no respectnble journal would insert it at nny price, but ns it emnnntes from a publishing company it is to be feared that by some means or other they will manage to circulate their pernicious rubbish, even if newspapers refuse to insert the advertisement at twelve cents net per issue.

JBt a VANCOUVER si The Burden of Good Women. ' We are suffering many things at the lianas of the Puritans. They have returned to us after years locked away in the archives of Boston and Marble- head. Of late a certain section of the unco' guid in this modern Sodom has been making incursions into the tortuous alleyways of Art. Result: Excursions and alarums. The soft cheek of virginity, we are told, is blushing the blush of a horrid shame, and our youth is beset by a lion in the way as it frolics in its innocence through the ambushes of the Arcade. Horribilis acpectu! A picture that flaunts its shameless nakedness that those who run may read. A sweet young thing, certainly, my friends, with seeming modest downcast eyes, gentle as the dove, but guileful, I fear, as the serpent. Terrible, indeed, the menace of that half-bidden maiden bosom—at least to those of us in whom purity rhymes with prurience. Avaunt Satanasl Well do we see the grimy sin behind this female Hecuba. Let us avoid this young female, for in her, as in all young females, especially when in puris naturalibus, lie the seed and the harvest of Beelzebub and his crew. lion of lhe charms of fan-tan and the 'kitty." The poor Mongol will now have a more exciting time than ever, and must gambol as adroitly as he gambles if he woud escape the soft impeachment that stalks his agile queue. SPORTING COMMENT I ON PASSINQ EVENTS If I mistake not, some two or three years ago it was the National W.C.T.U. of the United Slates that set the Yankees by the ears over the placing of Watts' "Love and Life" in an honored niche in the White House. Of all that great painter's great productions, I think that "Love audi Life" is his greatest. This painter of the mystical, the ennobling allegorical, in that picture attained a height of interpretative art which is is given to few artists to reach. The drooping, shrinking figure, held and guarded by the oilier strong in a magnificent strength, is the embodiment rather of our weakly striving after higher things than the symbolism of any earthly, carnal love, protected by its ordained mate. Here no mind that had risen above the earth-mind, thinks of sex, of the woman and the man, but of incarnated spirits, weakness and strength, the Alpha and Omega of the Golden Rule. And yet thc W.C.T.U.— Oh, well! The unfortunate possessor and exhibitor of the work of art referred to in the first paragrapli has been acquitted by a jury of bis peers of any collusion with the Powers of Darkness . True, those peers were men, but fortunately the "suffragette" has yet to win her way to the Bench. I am thankful to say, however, that some good lias been attained by this perfervor of purity that merges into vice in the lucrative advertisement secured by a gentleman only remarkable for tbe excellence of his wares, his modest demeanor, and his very ugly bull-dog. The City of Evil Night. Another matter akin to the above. At last it would appear that Vancouver is to obtain what, as a large and progressive city, she should have earned long ago—a night car service. The thin end of this excellent wedge is already inserted ,and up to midnight, at least, the man who is kept by strenuous work at his office may depend on something cheaper than a cab to carry him home to the far West End. In a very short time, thc all-night service may be obtained if only the clutches of "wife and mother" are kept clear of the City Hall. I hope they will he, but I am afraid they will not. Already there is a murmuring in the nurseries and the drawing-rooms, yea, even in the kitchens, and it is shrieked that the street railway company and the city fathers are pandering to the vice of the evil clubman and loose liver, and giving him nn opportunity to extend his debauches into the time when "morning doth appear." But as a correspondent very justly remarked in a contemporary the other day, it is not the despoiler of workmen's daughters and reveler in the wine when it is red who would employ the chenp 5-cent car. The "owl-car" is fnr the moth of work and not for the butterfly of libidinism. ' VANCOUVER. Ardent disciples of the immortal Izaak are numerous in Vancouver, and the condition of the various streams and rivers and the state of the fishing therein are subjects of perpetual interest to them, lt has been suggested by one of the most expert knights of the rod here that tbe C.P.R. should supply a daily service to the newspapers in connection with this matter, obtaining bulletins from the more noted of the haunts of the fisherman, so that the angler whose holidays are few and far between may not waste his time by going where fishing is poor for the time being, but may be enabled to head straight for the pools where the finny quarry is hungry for the fly. The suggestion is a good one, and it is probable that the C. P. R. Telegraphs will do its best in the matter. * * * The scene in Vancouver's famous harbor any fine day is a very different one to what it was some three, or even two years ago. The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club can now boast a white flotilla surpassed by no organization of its size, and by few larger ones. There is a steady increase in the Club squadron, and finer specimens of the boat-builder's art are being turned out each season. Where once an amateur sailor was content and happy with the slow, if safe, converted fishing-boat, he must now "do himself proud" over a fleet thirty-footer of latest rig, with appointments to match. The Club hopes to carry off some of the trophies at the Bellingham regatta next month, and from the trials taking place weekly its chances should be good. * * * The Jockey Club is somewnat annoyed at the assertion published in The Colonist that there will be no Dominion Day meeting here this year. The club, on the contrary, intends to put before the "fancy" one of the biggest programmes it has ever arranged. For some occult reason horse-racing has failed to win the sanction of society— but it is hoped to overcome the tacit unpopularity by catering more extensively to what should appeal to refined tastes. The "gentlemen up" race will be revived, with a splendid cup as the prize, and it is intended to make this, which particluarly popular "classes," a feature in future. It should be a event with the of each meet- is to be trusted plantory letter appeared in the Times -103 papnpas e ui a"ea\e pa>pii} A"[isapotu ner of our great evening family contemporary : Salt Spring Meeting. To the Editor—I was much surprised to read in your report of the Conservative meeting at Ganges, in your semi- weekly of June 12th, that "Mr. Green's remarks were prematurely concluded by a storm of jeers and hisses." Writing from an entirely non-partizan point of view, and in the faith that you do not wish to seriously misrepresent your political opponents, I wish to protest against this slur on the character of an Islands audience. There was strong j feeling shown in the audience on the question of the road-boss and road work, which was non-political, but the speakers were treated with the perfect fairness and courtesy which has always been shown to speakers of whatever side at every political meeting I have ever been to on the Islands, and I have lived here for many years. In going into the country to address the electors at non-election times, the ministers are following the example of older countries, and surely it is a good thing that ministers and members of parliament should do so from time to time and keep the people informed on the affairs of the country and the actions of their respective parties. You do us on the Islands injustice, Liberals and Conservatives alike, in giving such an account of our reception to a public speaker. R. G. G. Samuel Island, June 15th, 1906. Merely this, and nothing more. Now, The Week, in the words of our sagacious—and somewhat salacious- evening contemporary, "would like to be informed whether the Times was forced to take action in this matter by a high authority." It must have been so. No ordinary power couldi have forced the Nelson- Templeman-Laurier organ to thus stultify the pipe-dream of its own reporter —who was not even present at the meeting he so dopily described. The Week and the public are on tiptoe to learn the identity of the strong hand which could thus lash the Times into the path of a moderate decency. Who is this mysterious "R. G. G"? Where does he get his pull? Why is the Times afraid of him?' ' It is obvious that R. G. G. must be a survivor of the days of a generation back, when the name of Canadian Liberal stood for something approaching a decent life and honest convictions. But this only deepens the mystery, for it is long since the honest Liberals retained any control over their party.

They practise and play Junior League matches nearly every night in the week and promise to supply some excellent material for senior company within the next year or two. The next great senior event — the New Westmins'ir—Maple Leaf match, scheduled for next Saturday, having been cancelled—is the Vancouver—New Westminster game on July 2nd.

Tales From the Telling-house. A worthy alderman whose name I would "just love" to tell you, has at last felt his gorge rise at the assaults of bribery and corruption to wherewith he hns heen exposed by thnt sink of iniquity which the police raid nightly as a pastime. "Watch and pray" has been his motto, nnd he has kept clean hands and a pure heart against thc insidious advances of subtle Chinatown in the interests of a more lucrative exploita- On Friday lnst, tbe 15th inst., Messrs. Nelson and Templeman's organ, the Victoria Times, commenting on the announcement that the Government had demanded a commission to deal with the Pendray matter and the "Higgins Soap- Rubbles," remarked as follows: "Now the public would like to be informed whether the Premier was forced to take action in tbe matter by a high authority." The Times is always great on "high authority." It may be remarked, in passing, that its authorities are as "high" as some of the thinly-veiled indecencies which have been decorating its editorial columns ever since the hermaphrodite member for Rossland opened the flood-gates of obscenity of iho Liberal press. But we digress. Well, on Monday lnst, the 18th inst., three days after the publication of tbe paragraph just quoted, the following delicious and self-ex- Rural Wickedness. The motor car had reached a nice level stretch of road and the man in the goggles was preparing for a scorch when an honest-eyed old farmer stepped from the hillside and held up his hand. "Reckon you was jes' goin' to* slip along tidy fast?' 'he observed when the car came to a standstill. The motorist gave no denial to the statement. "What made you ask?" he inquired. The farmer produced a pair of battered field-glasses. "Clap your eyes to these 'ere," he remarked, "and look up that there tree along the road. Happen you'll change your mind." "Great Scott! A police trap," exclaimed the motorist, as he discerned a blue-trousered figure perched on a branch. "Thanks, old friends," and the clink of coins was heard. A minute later the car was crawling past the tree at a sim-mile-an-hour pace, while the farmer was counting his wealth and smiling, "That idea of carting the scarecrow from the pea-field an' fixin' it into the tree," he chuckled, woni't so bad." Tender Reminder. "I may lunch with you in town to day," she said. "To-morrow is your birthday, and I am going to buy you a present."

VALUABLE EDUCATIONAL WORK. 1O11 Tuesday evening the msuical sea- in in Victoria was brought to a very iopitious ending by the Dahl-Reidels- rger-Arion concert. It must now be imitted that if any reproach ever at- Jf.hed to the Capital City in respect its musical reputation it no longer lists, since the house was sold out long Itore the performance began, and late Titers had to be content with the pro- R)bial "standing-seat." This satisfac- |y result was due to the reputation of performers, judicious advertising, the popularity of the Arion Club. ss O'livia Dahl's r'entree fully justi- I the high opinion which had been med of her powers on the occasion her first appearance in Institute Hall '-eral weeks ago.

It pany, proved most successful and very is a combined history and geography of British Columbia, and is the joint production of two ladies who are well and favorably known in scholastic and literary circles in this province, and particularly in Victoria, namely, Miss Maria Lawson, of the Girls' Central School, Victoria, a daughter of the late Mr. Lawson, for many years editor of the Colonist, and Mrs. Rosalind Watson Young, M.A., the talented wife of Dr. H. E. Young, member for Atlin in the local legislature. The book is thus that most desirable thing, a work on British Columbia by British Columbians. The historical section of the book has been compiled by Miss Lawson, who shows a masterly grasp of the three essentials of historical writing, brevity, lucidity and accuracy. To such an admirable extent have these three requirements been filled in this instance, that, while the work under review is most excellently adapted to its primary object of conveying instruction to the mind of youth, it forms a most convenient book of reference for the busy man who may need to verify a fact at short notice, and lacks the time or opportunity to do so by prolonged research into documents and records. Of the geographical section of this work it may truly be remarked that the fact of its being compiled by Mrs. Rosalind Watson Young conveys an immediate assurance that a by no means easy task has been handled with skill and accuracy. In the difficult and unusual accomplishment of placing scientific facts before the public in plain and readable, yet absolutely reliable, shape, Mrs. Young has long since won for herself an enviable reputation. Her contributions to the press on the geographical and mining features of her husband's large district are familiar to our readers, and have been of incalculable benefit to the interests of British Columbia's northern gold-fields. In letter-press, style and workmanship generally, The History andi Geography of British Columbia" is gotten up in a manner which at once reflects credit upon the well-known publishing firm of W. J. Gage & Co. It contains no fewer than seventy-six illustrations, as well as eleven maps, of which latter two are full-pages in colors and one double-page in colors. The letterpress itself is of a good size, and, like the maps and illustrations, most clearly and legibly printed. The Week is gratified to learn from Mr. Alexander Robinson, Superintendent of Education, that the Provincial authorities are so impressed with the instructive to all concerned. The manoeuvres were carried out with splendid precision and promptness, clearly evidencing the great efficiency which the men have attained since their entry into camp. It is rumored that all men on the roll of the Fifth Regiment are now in camp; this is probably due to the number of corporals' guards seen in town of late. The worried appearance of the Corporal of Camp Police is attributed to the large number of men under his care. The marked improvement in the appearance of the various companies' lines is accounted for by the fact that the most untidy tent in the lines is daily posted in Regimental orders. The muster parade is called for noon on Sunday next. A full turn-out is expected owing to the strenuous times now existing in the camp, andl the promptness with which the men absent without leave have found themselves in the guard tent. It is rumored, indeed, that an additional gaol had to be erected to cope with tlie large number of unfortunates under Corporal Wheeler's charge. A word must be said with regard to the firing practice with the 6-inch guns last Wednesday night. This showed the best result attained up to the present. There were 140 rounds fired, and a very large percentage of hits was recorded ; it is sufficient to say that every gun-layer qualified. This is as satisfactory a piece of work as can be hoped for, and acts as a great encouragement to officers and men alike.

It is essential for students of com merce anil finance to appreciate that although currency, money, capital and wealth are allied and connected^ yet at the same time they are distinct forces and must be studied tinder separate headings before their relative bearing on each other can be fully grasped and understood. All currency is not money, capital or wealth; all money is not capital or wealth; all wealth is not capital, neither is it always money or currency. Currency is "the power of passing from hand lo hand," and is generally and somewhat loosely applied to tokens in the shape of money or bank notes, bills, bonds, drafts, and other documents which are to a greater or less extent representative of money; the currency of a community is always largely in excess of actual money or cpiial. Under natural conditions currency should expand or contract in accordance wilh tlie increase or diminution of commercial activity in any communty. Unfortunately currency is not always permitted to expand or contract in accordance with tlie actual necessities of the community; it is subject to two very great interferences or dangers which sooner or later become positive evils and have disastrous effects on the commercial life of any community permitting such interferences. The two evils arc artificial expansion and undue restriction; the former spreads out tiie river of currency beyond its legitimate powers thereby weakening them, and in the end causing failure and loss of credit; the latter dams up the life-blood of commerce and prevents it carrying the fertilizing elements of capital and wealth Into every part of the business com-, munity. Of the two, artificial expansion needs no explanation here. Wherever it has been tried its effects have been so visible that it is thoroughly well understood and in recent years has been almost eliminated from the commerce of the Anglo-Saxon race; the more enthusiastic Latin races occasionally venture along this risky financial path. Undue or artificial restrictions on currency are among the most dangerous I evils of the present day in the commercial world, because they are inaugurated and manipulated by the few at the expense of the many; they work silently and it is frequently years before the result becomes apparent, and even then the public, which is the sufferer, does not understand this trouble which secretly carries the wealth of the community into the coffers of the individual or corporation. It has taken years for the public to discover that combines and trusts are a danger and fruitful of much evil; if any one would take the trouble to refer to the files of the American papers of ten or fifteen years ago they would find the vast majority of American people hailed the formation of trusts with shouts of joy, subscribed liberally to their capitalization, and predicted an era of economy in management resulting in huge wealth to the people; they entirely lost sight of the fact that they were deliberately committing commercial suicide in as much as they were handing over the wealth and currency of the country into the hands of a few men. To-day they find themselves almost slaves to these trust magnates, created originally by themselves; they entirely overlooked the fact of these men having the power of putting artificial restrictions on produce, which is wealth in process of manufacture, and as a great portion of this wealth afterwards becomes currency it is evident that the artificial restrictions sooner or later affect currency also and become a menace lo the whole community. But let us give a simple example of of the effect of artificial restrictions on currency. Take four men, Brown, Jones, Smith and Robinson; Brown owes Jones one dollar; Jones owes Smith one dollar; Smith owes Robinson one dollar. If Brown had the dollar it would be paid to Jones; Jones pays Smith, and Smith pays Robinson and the three dollars of debt are paid off with the one dollar of capital which, by the way, is also an example of currency in being; Brown, however is in the employ of a corporation who only pay monthly; it is obvious this artificial restriction prevents the beneficial effects of currency acting under normal conditions, as Jones, Smith, and Robinson must wait until Brown receives his monthly wage. The above of course is an abstract example merely to illustrate an artificial restriction on currency, at the same time it is what is taking place every day in Victoria and Vancouver and other Western cities owing to the fact that the people have not yet grasped the evil which is caused by permitting corporations and other bodies to place artificial restrictions on currency. A few months since the wholesale houses in Victoria instituted a crusade to shorten the credit system between themselves and the retailers; the intention was good but <t failed utterly in its object for lack of knowledge on this most important subject of currency. If the wholesalers desired to succeed in their well-meant intention their first and obvious duty was to approach the firms who are the largest employers of labor in the city and have persuaded them to change their monthly wage system into a weekly one. In almost every other part of the civilized world the folly of this montnly system has not only been demonstrated but also entirely abolished. You will never be able to get down to a cash basis until this reform is carried out. To give a further illustration of the evil results of undue restrictions on currency it is only necessary to cross-examine any of the leading store-keepers in Victoria and Vancouver; they will tell you in a moment that about the dates on which the large corporations pay their wages they have their best selling days in the month, and that midway between, business dwindles down to a minimum, with the result that they are bound to keep a frequently large and expensive staff for the busy days when currency is liberated by the pay-1 ment of wages, such staff more often then not has to stand around idle on the slack days in the middle of the month. One has only to watch the columns of the daily paper to see how far reaching this evil is; at the beginning of the month when the majority of the wages are in the pockets of the people and immediately following the disbursements by the large corporations you will find that storekeepers who have the sense to follow these movements of currency use the opportunity to display their best advertising, very wisely cutting it down at the times when currency is locked up in the coffers of the corporations, it being useless to advertise extensively at such times. We have dealt at considerable length with this evil because it is in the power of the people of Victoria and Vancouver to demand a weekly wage system thereby permitting currency to flow more freely, but the public should not be blind to the fact that in a much wider field banks are frequently dangerous to the community owing to the power they have not only for placing undue crestrictions on cur- for placing undue restrictions on currency of one community to another in which their own personal interests are greater. It is a pity that the science of political economy, especially the sections which relate to currency, capital and wealth are not more generally taught in the schools of British Columbia in order that the rising generation should fully understand this most important subject which not one man in fifty grasps to-day. If this were done trusts and combines would either be entirely abolished or put on a basis giving the greatest good to the greatest number, corporations would not be permitted to put artificial restrictions on currency, and bankers would be taught that in addition to the duty of earning dividends for their shareholders they have a higher duty still, namely, the welfare of the community in which each branch is situated. ia************************iial IH* *g 1* r» a rvitvT i nn *>ai DINING ROOM.

BADINAGE By BOHEMIAN. H**iti££i,SMt I have on several occasions expressed my opinion on the subject of "scorching" automobiles, and have been requested to take the matter up again with special reference to an incident which occurred in Beacon Hill Park on Sunday last. It was during the afternoon, when several little children, instead of being in Sunday school, as all good children should be, were playing on the sand heap near the lake. With them was a handsome collie dog; suddenly, without warning, an automobile dashed up at the rate of at least thirty miles an hour. The chauffeur had the choice of driving over the pile of sand, in which case he would have been upset, or of dashing into the midst of the children who were at the foot of the slope. He considerately chose the latter, and steered so accurately that he missed one little girl by a few inches, but was successful in impaling the dog. It was a clever piece of work, and goes to show the advantage of skilful training. With such experts on the box it is quite unnecessary for people to move out of lhe way, or to become excited. A miss is as good as a mile, and even if it is a matter of inches, so long as it is a miss, who cares? An ear for music is a great gift, and enables one to appreciate the thousand and one tones which vibrate on the summer air. It also develops a taste for "linked sweetness long drawn out." Time was when the shriek of a steam bull or whistle, especially in the small hours, would awaken me with a start, and banish sleep from my weary eyelids. But six months' apprenticeship on Belleville boulevard has altered all that, andi has so developed my musical faculties that I can now listen to the siren which signalizes the approach and departure of the Princess Victoria and the Indianapolis, for fifteen minutes at a stretch, without the slightest desire to fall asleep again; whilst the chronic cough of the Tees has become a positive pleasure, to be missed and regretted if it ceases for more than an hour. I have even begun to enjoy the hiss of the steam boiler and donkey engine which decorate the boltievard a little west of the C.P.R. office. Shying horses and shattered hacks, with an occasional crippled hackman, are mere incidents of the campaign, which, whilst regrettable, do not materially diminish the zest with which I follow the performance. It is rumored, and I have no hesitation in believing the report, that Capt. Troup has received instructions from Mrs. Hayter Reed to keep all the tugs and steam-boats in practice, in order that they may be usedi after the opening of the Empress Hotel in lieu of an orchestra. I strolled through the Carnegie Library this week for the first time and made several discoveries, all of which startled me a little, and some of which gratified me; for although a Bohemian by inclination I ain a Bookman by conviction. There is a fair collection of classics, but a singiuar omission' in respect of many standard authors. Poetry is inadequately represented; high class fiction, ditto; on the other hand there is a commendable dearth of trashy fiction. The very best authors are being read to an extent which is gratifying, and I nearly fainted when I learnt that works by Meredith and Ruskin were ''out." There is hope for any community which, even to a slight extent, reads the two greatest modem masters of English prose. I wish any words of mine could induce Victorian book- lovers to read the former's "Richard Feverel," which I have always considered as second only to the best work of Thackeray and Scott. I have no desire to be hypercritical, but the hours of opening and closing the library are inconvenient, and greatly curtail its usefulness as a public institution. Some people profess to believe that Victoria is dull, while others bewail the decadence of sport. These folk surely go about with their eyes closed, or they would never miss the good things which are offered dlaily in our midst. For instance, on Tuesday morning last I was passing down Trounce Alley when I had the pleasure of witnessing a time- honored form of entertainment dear to the heart of every old sport. Oh, how it recalled the cock-fighting and dog- fighting days of my youth. A Chinaman had a wire cage containing a dozen rats; another Chinaman had a snapping little fox-terrier. The spectators formed a ring, with the children (among whom I noticed a bright little girl of about eight), in front. A rat was turned loose, the terrier pounced on him, there was a squeal, a convulsion, and lhe long-tailed rodent, smeared with blood, lay on the pavement. One or two boys, probably gently nurtured, looked the other way, and the little girl paled and made her escape as soon as possible. The entertainment continued until the cage was empty; it furnished lots of excitement and several qualms. I was informed that the rats, which were carefully and even tenderly collected, would figure in pie later in the day. This is a form of sport which seems to flourish in the alleys of Victoria, and one which tends to keep alive the memory of those so-called brutal displays which an advanced and supersensitive civilization has relegated to the past, at least that is the opinion of BOHEMIAN.

Der Norwestern is informed from a reliable source that the German government has sent Dr. Hermann Hucho, formerly an instructor in agriculture in the University of Leipzig, to Canada to study thoroughly the agricultural conditions of the Dominion. Dr. Hucho has been attached to the German consulate for Canada, and has recently arrived in Montreal. He has already spent six years in a similar position with the German general consulate for Australia in Sydney; and he will probably remain in Canada for the same length of time. From Montreal he will annually perforin extensive journeys to all parts of the Dominion, especially to the Northwest. THE GBEATEST CANADIAN CONTRACTOR. Mr. James Ross is not likely to return to Canada for some three months to come. Recently he found it necessary to undergo an operation in a London hospital, and while he is about and much better, still he does not feel capable of taking up the reins of business just yet. The chances are that he will spend the greater portion of the summer cruising on his yacht in European waters, and it is quite possible that he may come over in her to this side later on. THE GUGGENHEIMS IN CANADA. It is good news that the Guggenheims are investing in the Nicola Valley. This is the most influential and the wealthiest private firm in the United Slates. It was able for years to defy the lead trust trading as The American Smelting and Refining Co. and finally to dictate its own ternis of admission to the combine.

The broderie Anglaise influence which was so predominant last season that I wonder we did not resort to buttonholing our own skins, is obviously upon the wane, a reaction only to be expected as the natural sequel to the delirious dictatorship it enjoyed last season. A frock which is going to accompany its owner to the seaside is made wilh a double skirt, the lower part completed by a severe hem, relieved at intervals with a conventional ornament, or spray, embroidered in relief. The upper skirt is edged with a double row of minute vandyker, solidly buttonholed at the edge, whence delicate trails of conventional embroidery run upwards. I feel sure we shall all vote solidly by and by for hemstitched effects on our new cottons and muslins, both plain and embroidered^ a development for which, having regard to the destructive genius of the average Chinese washerman, we may well rejoice. The sudden heat wave has turned the thoughts of all to cooler garments, and to those in search of such I can unhesitatingly recommend linen costumes. Exquisitely fresh in appearance, this fabric makes up the smartest costumes imaginable, suitable not only for ordinary wear, but for all the different outdoor pastimes which claim the attention of the summer girl. Linen costumes can be made in over sixty shades, including white, cream, biscuit, andl all the fashionable soft- toned colors of the season. The independence of attitude which men can assume towards weather of any sort impresses itself afresh on one's envious mind, every time one goes motoring. My last tour, over a windswept, hilltop country, brought the matter intimately to me, seeing the distressing pranks played with one's locks by rude east winds, while the mere man's independent habit of hair, innocent of fringe, nets, toupee, or "transformation," was an object lesson in freedom and liberty to the carefully- adijusted women of the party. A good bit of advice is to consult Madame Kosche on the question of the coiffeur, her hair dressing parlors on Douglas Street are by far the most up- to-date in the city. By the way, talking of motors, the farmers, whose cherished and particular prerogative is grumbling, are already looking on the automobile as a deadly and desolating enemy, because it does not consume the roots, corn, or hay which they spend half their lives in growing. "Where will be the demand for fodder," they angrily ask, "when horses disappear?" And Echo answers with her usual elusive "Where?" "En revanche," the country innkeepers rejoice, and cast up long reckonings for luncheons, teas, and dinners, which are liquidated by the rapidly revolving public. It is thc old story of the survival of the fittest, in fact, and for the moment the motorist holds the stage. Speaking of farmers, reminds me of the two old rustics that I met the other day on a country road. They were coming to town to buy new farm implements, and Rube was advising Simon where to purchase them. "Wal, I reckon there be only one place in town to get what we want, Simon, and that be E. G. Prior's store, (hem what had the big exhibit at the Agricultural show." The latest production in gentlemen's summer felt hats is to be found at Chapman's, Vancouver. It is made in | charming pearl grey, light brown, or i black. Ibe shape being a sort of fednra i and ordinary sailor. These hats will ' be found very light in weight, and of \ far greater comfort to the wearer, lhe | felt yielding to lhe head'. Nnt withstanding its lightness it serves the dual pur- ) pose of protecting its wearer from the intense heal nf the sun, while it possesses a longer life. It is one of Mr. Punch's jokes nf some dozen years ago—fnr it could hardly have been perpetrated in these present days nf enlightenment, tliat a lady who remarked In n friend that she was "going inln town In buy some marquetry "was slartled hy receiving thc not very apropos commission by way nf reply, "Are you, dear? Well, would you mind bringing mc a pound nf tomatoes?" We have learned since then that there is a difference between mar keting and marquetry. The enormous strides in popularizing art which we have made in the last few years, and the increased perception of the beautiful in coneclion with furniture of all sorts, have at least taught us this. But, judging by the appallingly blatant specimens of marquetry one sometimes sees it is questionable if some of us know- even a thing or two about really good taste in furniture. By the way, Weiler's have in stock some beautiful tables, chairs, cabinets, etc., that have lately arrived from abroad and they are quite the most ideal fittings for artistic drawing rooms. Smart ladies of fashion are having their tiaras re-set in the old classic garland shape to go around the head, instead of the crown-shaped diadems of the past few years. The style is eminently becoming to those with features 'bien entende," but the others without a profile had better rest content with their present possessions. However, jewelled combs are becoming to all, and Challoner & Mitchell have a most artistic 'collection. Before closing, I wish to again remind you of the delicious ice cream for sale at the Royal Dairy on Fort Street. Nothing is more acceptable during the summer months than a dish of good ice cream, served at afternoon tea. I am told that champagne cup is also most refreshing, madle, of course, with Mumm's Extra Dry. BABETTE. Prom the Veldt. Schielmakaar, District Lindley, Orange River Colony. May 8th, 1906. To the Editor the Week: Sir—It seems a very long cry from here to England, but the political change there has sent this country further back than anything else could have done. Everything and everybody is in a state of unrest; no one except the extreme Boer trusts the Liberal Government. The way they have slandered those who have always worked for British supremacy in South Africa at the general election will be remembered for ever as the most disgraceful injustice that so-called Englishmen have'ever perpetrated upon thic country and the English population. The cry against the mine owners is rot; close the mines, or unfairly handicap the capitalists, and South Africa is lost to the Empire. The slavery cry is another scandal. Every second man walking the streets of Johannesburg would willingly change places with the Chinese, as far as their treatment in food, clothing, and discipline is concerned. If the new Constitution is so formed that the Boers get a majority in the House, look out for trouble. The Rand won't be a patch to it. And yet the people at home won't see the harm they are doing. They are driving loyal, gnod men from the Flag every day, but what can one expect with a man like Winston Churchill at the Colonial Office. What a frightful disgrace the vote nrrainst Milner. without dnubt the greatest Pro-Consul Enprland has ever had. wdio has certainly done more for this country than any man living, or dead, not even excepting Cecil Rhodes.

Grand Forks, June .19.—Nowhere in the whole of the Kootenay and Yale Mining Districts is there more activity being displayed in mining than there is at the present moment in tlle Boundary. Several causes have helped to produce this effect. For years the low grade of the ore of the principal of the Boundary producing properties was eyed askance by the investing public, and the experiments undertaken so successfully by the Granby Company were watched with much doubt. Could these low grade properties be made to pay? Could they be made to pay with the apparently extravagantly long distances over which coke fuel had to be hauled? But thc strides made by the Granby has at last convinced those of the faintest faith that the possibilities of mining in the Upper country are nowhere greater than in the Boundary district. With two railways competing for the haulage of the ores everything became possible. The ores, though low grade, were self fluxing. Moreover, they contained so low a percenage of sluphur that all preliminary roasting, or a double passage through the furnaces, was unnecessary. All this conduced to low rates in freighting and in smelting, while the gigantic size of the ore bodies made mining almost exclusively a matter of stoping out the ore, whereas in most mines the development work is often many times greater than the actual work of breaking down the ore bodies and is seldom less than at least equal. This is the explanation of the success of the Granby and its first properties, the Knob Hill and Oldi Ironsides, to which have now been joined many a contiguous property. And success has made success. The first efforts of the smelters at Greenwood and at Boundary Falls were not particularly attractive. But this stage has been passed. Both of these smelters, the one immediately, the other within a short period, are greatly enlarging their plants, and the output of the Boundary for the year 1907 will be unprecedlently great, and will be Conducted on so large a scale that the attention of not alone Canada, but of the whole mining world, will inevitably be drawn to this district, which will thus form the best advertisement that mining in this province could possibly have. It is to these causes, these effects, that tlie recent feverish activity in the Boundary is due. Those in the know in the district, seeing the likelihood of a rush taking place into the district, are bonding, leasing, acquiring, and developing properties in every direction. Not only are the more recognized camps being exploited, but the advent of the new spurs to the rail roads are making possible the development of other properties situated in lesser known places. A prominent example of this is taking place up the north fork of the Kettle river, where today towns are springing up which a year ago were wilderness. And the railways know what is coming, for they, too, the Great Northern, the C.P.R., the Midway and Vernon, are all pressing forward to be first in the field for the great tonnage which will make the Boundary tamous. In a lesser degree the activity in mining is helping out the fruit ranchers and the agricultural industry generally, for the work upon the mines and upon the railroads is bound to create a large population, to whom fruit and fodder will become necessities. And thc demand that can be supplied) locally is j better suited than when it is met by: outside supply. Hence land is booming and so is the ranching industry | generally. At no time in its history was the Boundary in a better condition than | it is now. The years of stagnation, of 1 patient experiment and apparently hope- less waiting, are now to receive their j full fruition. The only lack is thc lack of men. The railways want them, the mines want them, the smelters are de- manding 'more labor. Top prices are being paid, and'when the first rush of settlers in the golden harvest lands of j tlie northwest has been somewhat stay- j ed, then those who are in search of a more equable climate, will infallibly beJ attracted to this land of work. While the government has not yet surveyed the lands it possesses in this vicinity, \ vet the railways have plenty of land. I •oid the Canadian Pacific in particular has been careful to have its grants in ! ntch shape that they can reasonably be I taken up.
