VI. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1909 One Dollar Per Annum This subject is one of such jlie Songhees vast importance that Tho eserve. Week has gone to consider able trouble in trying to leani all the information available with Iference to the terms on which the Re- Yvve was originally handed over to the lidians. There is a mass of correspond- lice, and an agreement, all of which was rinted and included in the Sessional lapers of 1876, and also reproduced at a Iter date, so that those who investigated le matter years ago had these documents pfore them. Thanks, however, to the lurtesy of Mr. It. E. Gosnell, the Pro- Incial Archivist, The Week is able to Ive to the public for the first time a copy a letter from Sir James Douglas to the lolonial Office, which was not included in lie published papers, having been dis- pvered quite recently among a lot of old ocuments in the possession of the Ilud- bn's Bay Compauy. This letter clears up lie question of title, and although it does lot form an integral part of the agree- - [lent which was executed it is valuable as browing a light upon the state of Sir lames Douglas' mind, and upon the views Ihich he entertained of the whole transac- ton vvith the Indians. It has been claimed liat in making the arrangements with the Indians in the early days that there were lo possessory rights in the lands on the lart of the various tribes treated with, liat the payments made by Douglas (re- _ Iresenting the Hudson's Bay Company) |id not constitute an extinguishment of ay real claim, but were rather intended be in the nature of presents to gain be goodwill of the natives and avoid fu- iro friction, and that the Songhees as a latter of fact have no "sacred" rights to lie land they occupy in Victoria West. I)n these points it will be interesting to go lack to Douglas himself and ascertain if possible how he and the officials of the lompany in London regarded the transac- lion. Writing in May, 1850, from Fort Victoria to Archibald Barclay, Esq., Lon- lon, Eng., he acknowledges the receipt of nstructions from the Governor and Com- littee regarding the natives, and states as follows: "On the receipt of that letter I lummoned to a conference the chiefs and Influential men of the Songhees tribe, vhich inhabits and claims the district of Victoria from Gordon Head to Point Alport on the Strait of deFuca as their own particular heritages. After considerable liscussion it was arranged that the whole If the lands forming, as before stated, the liistrict of Victoria should be sold to the Jjompany with the exception of villages ■md enclosed for a certain remuneration lo be paid at once to each member of the |.ribe. I. was in favor of some of the pay- lent to be made annually, but the proposal was so generally disliked that I yielded to their wishes and paid the sum it once. The members of the tribe on being mustered were found to number one bundred and twenty-two men, heads of families, to each of whom was given a quantity of goods equal in value to 17s. sterling, and the total sum disbursed on this purchase was £103 14s Od sterling at lepartment price." Mr. Douglas then Ues on to give details of agreements with (jther tribes all similar in character, though liffering somewhat in certain features. Che Indians, however, were in each case paid a sum of money based on the acreage of their particular districts, though thc members shared equally in the whole amount. The sums paid per acre varied, but the full return is given in the report on the Indian Question which appears in the Sessional Papers of 1876. Mr. Douglas concludes his letter in this wise: ' I informed the natives that they would not be disturbed in the possession of their villages and enclosed fields whicli are of small extent, and that they were at liberty to hunt over the unoccupied lands and to carry on tlieir fishing with the same .freedom as when they were the sole occupants of the country. I attached the signatures of the native chiefs and others who subscribed the deed of purchase to a blank sheet on which will be copied the contract or deed of conveyance, as soon as we receive a proper form, which I beg may be sent out by return of post." In other words, Douglas acted upon instructions from London in which, in other parts of the correspondence specifically use the term "estinguishment of the Indian title." The Indians sold the land at so much per acre, were paid for in kind, made a conveyance and transacted the whole business very much in the same way as white men do who buy and sell land. The Songhees claimed the absolute ownership of Victoria district and their right to it was recognized by the company. It may be that in the back of their heads the officials might have regarded the monies paid as "presents," but their is no hint of such a thing on the face of the records. The company were too shrewd to allow any question to arise as to the title of their lands. It had to be a genuine sale. In regard to the coal lands they were most particular that the Indian title should be estinguished. The arrangement in 1851, and confirmed by treaty with the Indians, has stood ever since. It seems almost too late to raise the question at this date. The Week is not inclined The Scapegoat, to join in the hue and cry against the legal advisers of the City which has been started in certain quarters, regarding it as a deft movement to cover the delinquencies of the City Council. A good deal has been said lately about the authority and the responsibility of the elected representatives of the peopk.. When they see an opening for a little spectacular display of their authority there is no shyness, and no hiding behind the skirts or the robes of legal luminaries. But when it suits their convenience, and especially when public indignation has been aroused, tliere is a great hurrying and scurrying to find a scapegoat, and the elected representatives of the people, with a capital P, suddenly, become so modest and retiring that they are responsible for nothing. All this appropos of the present difficulty in settling the agreement with the British Columbia Electric Railway anent Jordan Kiver power scheme. The City Barrister and the City Solicitor are the servants of the City, not its masters. Their advice may not always be sound, and, like other mortals, they may occasionally change tlieir minds, but when all is said and done, they are paid to give legal advice, and to put into legal phraseology the decisions of the Council. If they introduce new matter, or incorporate suggestions or principles at variance with such decisions, their mis-conduct would be very obvious, they would have exceeded tlieir instructions, and they could be called to book. They have nothing to do with originating a policy; their duties are strictly executive and professional. Was it the fault of these legal gentlemen, or of the Mayor, that the proposed agreement or the letter which embodied it should have been neglected for three months? Who is responsible for the new principle introduced by the City Barrister into the agreement which would appear to violate the intention of the Council, at any rate as far as that intention was understood by the public and the press? Whoever the individual may be, the Council must shoulder the responsibility, because they have the authority to over-rule any person who fails to give effect to their recorded decisions. The great ability and the invaluable services of the City Barrister should protect him from any cheap criticism, or the suggestion that in his advice he is not actuated by the highest motives. The authority is in the hands of the Council and they must exercise it. The Mayor has given Mr. Smith's Hill Arthur L. Adams a clean Reservoir. \,i\\ 0f health in connection with his expert services to the City, and that gentleman has gone home with a substantial cheque in his pocket, and presumably with a feeling of conscious rectitude. Meanwhile, he has bequeathed to the City a concrete tower which leaks slightly, and 0 concrete reservoir which leaks like a sieve. The greatest depth of water it has yet contained is a little over six feet, and with that pressure behind it the leakage was sufficient to fill the drain pipe, to rush out with great force, to flood Cedar Hill road and sidewalks, to flood several meadows, to overflow the banks of the brook leading towards Oak Bay, and as an expiring effort to flood Mrs. Lea's farm near the Jubilee Hospital; and yet Mr. Adams says he is quite satisfied, such leakage is not at all unusual, and the Mayor has given him a certificate of good conduct. The AVeek is no alarmist; it has performed a simple duty to the public in making the facts known, and it vouches for the truthfulness for every statement that it has made on this subject. Its information is the result of personal investigation and it now begs to inform the patient and long-suffering ratepayers of Victoria that apart from seepage through the sidewalks of the reservoir the bottom leaks along the patent American asbestos joints, whicli connect all the panels; that thc leakage would be so great under the full head of water which the reservoir is constructed to hold, that it would undermine the foundations and wash away the embankment. Tin1 Week makes bold to say that in lessthan a month the City will be blasting the floor of the reservoir in order to replace it with something which is really watertight, or approximately so at any rate. Tlie Week is not vindictive, nor are the ratepayers of Victoria. If Mr. Adams had owned up like a man he would have been forgiven, but he has tried to bluff it out with characteristic Yankee gall, and in this he has been seconded by the Mayor, who, after he knew that there was something wrong, on indisputable evidence, pretended that all was right, and refused to yield to the sug gestion of appointing an independent expert to make an examination and report. This is the most serious mistake which the Mayor has made since he entered public life. It is not dealing frankly with thc people and will shake their confidence in liis judgment, at any rate. The view of The Week is that in the public interest the ratepayers should make a move on tlieir own account. The cost of an expert examination by a local engineer of established reputation such as Mr. Keefer, Mr. Mohun, or Mr. Rebbeck, would be a mere bagatelle in face of the interests involved, and until this is done there will be no sense of security. Meanwhile it is to be hoped that Mr. Arthur L. Adams occasionally reads the Victoria papers. Some writers are "easy." An Easy _s_ sensational correspondent Mark- telegraphed from the East an account of an incident in whicli the Britisli flag was said to havo been trailed in the dust in the streets of Toronto and insulted by a party of American tourists who were flaunting the Stars and Stripes. The circumstance was reported iu full detail in the Toronto press, and an immense amount of righteous indignation was worked up. Then the Western press got hold of the story, and the Victoria Colonist and the Victoria Times emptied the gials of their wrath upon the uuchastened and offending Philistines. So great was the excitement that the Toronto City Council instituted an inquiry and investigated the whole incident in short order, when, lo! and behold the proverbial "Mare's nest" was discovered. Some small boys provoked, by that spirit which manifests itself on halloween by lifting gates off their hinges, had tied a diminutive Union Jack, which probably cost two bits at a junk store, to the axle of an automobile, which certainly did contain a party of hilarious American tourists. But these unfortunate mortals knew nothing about it and continued to waive Old Glory in ignorance of the fact that they were unconsciously provoking an International conflict. The Victoria Journalists can comfort themselves with the reflection that they were not the only one's caught napping, for the New York Times also waxed furious, and editorially regretted that the good nion of Toronto had not lynched the offenders, or banished them to the Mackenzie River or Great Slave Lake. Dominie Sampson, if he were alive today, would say "prodigious," but the more phlegmatic Englishman will simply sigh, "Big Gooseberry Season." What a pity that in this progressive age there is nothing great upon which to dilate, and such waste of good ink and paper on apocryphal incidents. The Editor of Thc Week Personal. wishes to extend the per sonal thanks of his family to the Medical Council of British Columbia for tlie thorough and painstaking inquiry which it held, at his request, into the circumstances attending the death of the late Mrs. R. II. Ley of Nelson; and to recognize tlie courage and thc justice of its decision in depriving Dr. Wilson of the right to practice in this Province, in consequence of professional misconduct in connection with that case. THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1909 l*f%f*fy**4b** ***%**fy*Q At The Street *} Corner & By THB LOUNOER The present week has been the busiest this season so far. To this end several circumstances have conduced. First of all the weather has taken a most delightful turn, and we have had the first whiff of summer heat, which has been playing such havoc in Eastern cities, but which is tempered to mildness by the time that it reaches the Pacific Coast. The present season has been remarkable in several respects but perhaps in none so much as in the prolonged period of coolness, especially at night. It is rather unique in the experience of Victorians to require a fire in one's sitting room in the month of July, but until the present week there have been few nights when it was not necessary this year. Old meteorolu- gists tell me that this is due to the prevalence of South-easterly winds, which rarely continue after April but which are still blowing in July. Whatever the reason may be the weather has been undoubtedly cold. However, there is one thing we are apt to forget and that is that while we may be a little chilly here cool weather, which ranges between fifty and sixty- five, is much more tolerable than the sweltering temperatures of New York and Chicago. * * * Another circumstance which has made the present week a notable one is the first real accession of summer visitors. The Princesses have been carrying 1,000 to 1,500 people into the city every day, and the streets have been as busy as they usually are ou Saturday evening. Also the American tourists are beginning to show up, as evidenced by the crowded condition of the hotels, and the "standing room only" sign at the Empress, lt is about time Mr. Hayter Reed got busy with that promised new wing. While speaking of the Empress 1 should like to say how great a boon the new grill room r proving. It is crowded every lunch time, and indeed if one wishes to lunch comfortably it is necessary to engage a table in advance. The cuisine is excellent. I think the service is open to criticism and would ask the manager to give this a little special attention, as it is the only fly in the ointment. If al' the waiters were as attentive and competent as Smith, there would be no fault to find, but unfortunately thf-v are not in the same class, and some of them are busier hunting tips than orders. If the popularity of this room is to be maintained business men must be able to get a lunch served inside of half an hour. At present it takes from three-quarters to an hour to get through. * * * The third event of the week has been the visit of the delegates of the National Council of Women. Of these ladies, their accomplishments, and their programme much might be said, and then the ablest journalist would fail to do them justice. I have rarely attended a more interesting function than the reception at Government House on Monday night, when a hundred Victorians, mostly ladies, were privileged to meet about a hundred of the cleverest women gathered from every part of the civilized world. These delegates were selected by their respective associations for conspicuous ability and service. In nearly every instance their educational attainments were high. Many of them were of the class of women turned out from Girton and Cheltenham. One for instance was a Ph. D. of Heidleberg University. Another the celebrated Miss Chrystal Macmillan, who argued the case ot tlie suffrage for University Students before the House of Lords, and was highly commended by the Chancellor for the skill which she displayed. Another was the celebrated lady who went slumming among the sweatshops and casual wards of East London in order to become acquainted with actual conditions and subsequently secure remedial legislation. Another, Dr. Salomon, a most attractive and charming young woman, has already secured international fame as a professor of economics, and is now preaching a crusade in favour of a more general study of the humanities in public schools. An Italian Marchesa, the balance of whose name I cannot recall, charmed everyone with whom she came in contact, and spoke the English language in a manner whicli put to shame many a native born. And who that heard it will ever forget the charming humourous and keenly intelligent speech delivered by Madame Popelin, a Belgian delegate, or the almost eloquent speech of the lady from Holland, who introduced a beautiful and effective illustration when she contrasted her native kingdom rescued from the ocean with the A GOOD BUY Picture of charming residence, situate on Dewis St., in Oak Bay District.

As it was, she had to use stovewood to start the fire. So she went poking around hunting something to eat that didn't require cooking and got into more trouble than any other woman has gotten into before or since. MORAL: COOK WITH GAS.

But time would fail me to tell one-half the story of these interesting and entertaining women. I am afraid I am too old fashioned and conservative to agree with all the planks in their platform, but I was greatly impressed with the fact that among them were very few of the "blue stockings" who were so formidable in the early days of the advanced movement. The National Council today is composed very largely of Mothers, and whatever else may be said for it there can be no question that as an organisation its aims are the loftiest and the purest. I cannot dismiss this subject without saying that our local representatives who spoke at the luncheon, Mrs. Day and Mrs. Jenkins were in no respect outclassed by any of the delegates attending. A more concise, refined, and thoughtful address than that delivered by Mrs. Jenkins I have not heard from the lips of a woman for many years, Mrs. Day's style is more oratorical, and I was pleasurably surprised that even in such company she shone as an eloquent and impressive speaker. * * * The Week has also seen in our midst an educational congress with which I cannot deal at any length. I must however pay a compliment to Mr. Pritchett and Mr. Robertson for the charming addresses which they delivered on Thursday morning. Happy is the country which has such a sound and wise leader of educational thought as the representative of the Carnegie Foundation, and scarcely less happy is Canada in the possession of a man of the fine nature, keen intellect, and genial spirit of Mr. Robertson, than whom Sir William Macdonald could have found no superior for the administration of his manifold charities.

C _ THE WEEK SATURDAY JULY 17, 1909 cAbout Ourselves We may perhaps be pardoned for thinking with pride that nothing better illustrates Victoria's growth more than our present large, modern building, for the history of the development of the Victorian trade is, to all intents and purposes, the history of this old established Wholesale Wine and Liquor House. This business was established in the year 1858, more than half a century ago. Since then many changes have taken place, but it has been under its present management for the last twenty-live years. During this past quarter of a century we have imported and sold all the different brands of goods pertaining to our line. Thorough knowledge, from long experience, has enabled us to know exactly what is required for our friends in British Columbia and elsewhere. The goods we recommend can always be relied upon as being the best produced in Great Britain and the continent. Nothing leaves our warehouse without a strong guarantee accompanying it. Our wines and liquors are listed at all the best hotels and cafes throughout the Province. Space forbids us mentioning many of the lines we carry. We may say, however, that in selecting your refreshments you will make no mistake in choosing any of the following products of the world's best markets: G. H. Mumm & Co.'s Champagnes. G.

Published at VICTORIA and VANCOUVER 1208 Government St., Victoria, B.C. W. BLAKEMORE, Editor. Human Nature By BOHEMIAN. Human nature is a strange thing. Artemus Ward thought he knew all about it, and has left on record some remarkable instances of vagaries of which he tells half in earnest and half in jest. Mark Twain suffered from the same conceit only to find that the men whom he thought he knew so well could do him clown without turning a hair. As a matter of fact it is not easy to determine who of the great writers and thinkers have manifested the keenest understanding of mankind; some award the palm to Shakespeare, a few Frenchman to Balzac, whose "Comedy liumaine" they still regard as a classic. The Italian would swear by Dante's "Divina Coinedia," and assuredly the German by the innumerable treatises of Goethe or Werther. There arc still a few old fashioned folk left who would hie them back to the days of Solomon, who somehow or another, although no one can tell just how, has acquired the sobriquet of "The Wisest of Men." His claims to wisdom, however, rest largely upon one cold blooded judicial decision, and a string of proverbs which perhaps cannot be matched for senten- tiousness. Be that as it may, and however men may differ on the question of authority, there will be general agreement in the proposition that human nature is a strange thing, and that its uncertainties constitute the principle charm of existence. Pope said "The proper study of mankind is man," which taken by itself, as a concrete proposition, is allright, but taken with the context is all wrong. Most men spend their lives in studying other men—and women. Possibly the majority do this either out of curiosity or to impart an active interest into life. A very large number do it in order that they amy gain something, either wealth or position. It is one of the saving clauses of existence that in order to hold our own or make any progress we must study others. Failure to understand a man means that we shall be treading on his favorite corn every few minutes, and by so doing arouse all his antagonisms; this simply means the piling up of obstacles in our own path, for no man is independent and no man can get on unless in some way or another he can make use of his fellows. The power of observation is of the utmost value in this connection and it is doubtful if in this age of hurry, rush and scurry, it is not neglected. We see fewer of the men who look on quietly and form an opinion with deliberation before they speak and act. Thc feverishness of the age tends to hasty decision, and impulsive doing, which leads to many undoings. There is, however, one charm about human nature which must not be lost sight of and that is that it is impalpable and indefinable, elusive and surprising. Its operations cannot be reduced to any system, or described in any set ternis. After studying a man or woman for years a packet of surprises may still remain to be handed out. "Not e'en the dearest heart, and next our own Knows half the reasons why wc smile or sigh." We leave our dearest friend with a perfect understanding, and a feeling that our relations are established bc yond a doubt, and will hereafter be characterized by permanent serenity. In a few hours, confidently counting upon the continuance of these conditions, we are perhaps chilled by an indefinable hauteur. There seems a lack almost of sympathy; wc arc grasping a rope of sand, and the one friend whom wc need, and upon whom we thought we could rely forever, seems to be slipping away. We are discouraged, despondent, perhaps despairing; the blue of thc sky turns to grey, or is obscured by even darker clouds; the sun ceases to shine, and the birds to sing, and in the bitterness of our hearts wc say: "The world we loved so much Has turned to dust and ashes at our touch." And yet within a few hours all is changed, the mood has passed, thc friend is as faithful as ever, we have deluded ourselves with a nightmare, and instead of losing one, whose absence would perhaps make life a per petual blank, we find that we have simply been experiecing one of those perplexing, but perennial changes to which human nature is subject, and which constitute its greatest interest and charm. Life would be monotonous if too tranquil. It is the moving waters which heal, and it is only a succession of such experiences which ultimately bring confidence to the soul, and steadfastness to human relations.

Two are in today and others due any day now. Fortunate indeed were we to have had such a hearty response to our special offerings during the past ten days, for otherwise the storing of these new arrivals would have been a problem. But there is more on the way and more room is needed. The result is that more special price tickets will be in evidence on our third floor this week. Remember that these pieces we have specially priced are not old, out-of-date, shop-worn lines, but are furniture pieces of which we have but one or two of a kind in stock. They are stylish new pieces of the famous Weiler Quality—nothing better anywhere. The opportunity to save shouldn't be overlooked by you. The lirst two cars of the new furniture to arrive are being unpacked today, and tomorrow we shall be busy marking these items. Don't fail to come in and see the new things and when in you'll also see the special offerings. New arrivals include many handsome pieces for every room.

THE WEEK, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1909 ARE YOU Still Behind the Times? Are you still struggling with heavy eoal scuttles, dirty cinders, dusty ashes, still bothering with kindling wood,—the labor of coal fires for cooking and baking ? We would like every lady in Victoria who cooks with a coal or wood stove to call at our showrooms -and allow us to explain the simplicity, the safety, and the economy of gas for cooking purposes. It is really a pleasure to cook and bake with gas. No dust, no dirt, no coal to carry in, no ashes to carry out, no kindling to chop. You can, even on the warmest day, cook any meal with comfort and ease compared to cooking with coal or wood, ancl gas is cheaper, too. To cook with anything but gas during warm summer weather is to admit yourself to be unenlightened. A gas range does far better work and for less cost than any other. It is an economy as well as an undeniable comfort. Gas is the only fuel that meets with every modern requirement. Whether you do your own work or keep a maid or Chinaman you ought to have the latest improved Gas Eange to make kitchen work easier and save half the time and strength it now requires. AVe have a splendid range of the newest ideas in Gas Stoves and Gas Eanges for you to select from and at reasonable prices. Easy terms of payment if you desire. VICTORIA GAS COMP'Y Limited Cor.
