The Week ii British Columbia Newspaper and Review. ol.

Our Distinguished Visitors >( El.DOM has the Canadian Club of Victoria had the opportunity % of greeting nl one anil the same time two mini of such distin- " guished political rank as the two who graced its board on Tues- last, when it entertained the -Eight Honourable Herbert L. niit'l, Postmaster-Genera] of Grenl Britain, and tbe Honourable ll'. Pelletior, Postmaster-General of Canada. It was but natural ll llie grenter interest should centre around tbe former of these two pistors, Imlli of Cabinet rank, flic ono hailing from the Mother of filaments beyond the sea. the other from tho younger House nt lawn, for be is the first member of a British cabinet to visit the 1st.

The it of Jlr. Snmliol to the Coast is yet another result of the bond of Ion cemented between the Mother Country and lhe Self-Governing minions by the Imperial Conference. It has ceased to he the liion for British statesmen to remain in ignorance of the true char- eristics of the outlying portions of the Empire, and of all the mem- la of the Cabinet to he the first to pny a visit to the Pacific Coast I mots suitable is certainly the Postmaster-General, Mr. Pelletier, i delivered hut a brief address, referred in feeling terms to the rndly rein I ions existing lie! ween Eastern ami Western Cnnada. The Jt of lhe two Postmasters-General and the opportunity which their Irnev has given them of becoming familiar at first bnnd with ]stern conditions is likely to result in vastly improved conditions in Postofl'iee 1 lepnrlmont. Higher Car Pares "E. Moses B. Cotsworth, who recently signed the minority report in the arbitration between the B. C. E. E. and its employees, has addressed an interesting letter to the daily Is on the subject of the increase in street car fares. Tu his opening lagraph he deprecates the fact that many people have been periled that the raise in the rates wns to offset the small percentage Ich has been ndded lo the men's wages. A section of the press, he les, has taken this view, with llie result that a certain portion of Ipublic are inclined lo blame the men for hnving been the cause llie recent action on the part of the company. The Week finds lard to believe Ihnl any section of lhe general public can really le lieen induced lo lake ibis view. The slight increase iu the men's has been regarded as Ihe excuse, rather thnn ns the reason, for ■.imposition which has hecn placed on the car-riding public, and lure most of us human enough to appreciate lhe fact thnt even a lerful corporation like the B. C. E. R. would rather hnve a poor lise for their action than no excuse at all. Be that as it may, Mr. ■mortal's letter goes on in more interesting vein when he schedules Ions remedies which are in the hands of the cities affected, lie Iiniueiids more frequent walking on the part of those who were in Ihabit of using cars on every possible occasion, and in this respect irobnble that Victorians are better off than the citizens of Van- I'cr. Here the company has never considered it worth while fo livate the "short fare." As has been pointed out time and again lhe columns of The Colonist, the short, quick trips have been ■rely neglected by the compnny, which, with a fine regard for the Ith of the public, has resolutely set ils face against making it a Ing id' time to ride from the city proper over the Bny. For this limy now be thankful, for the street car habit is perhaps not so lly embedded in our system ns it is in those who have received |< consideration from thc hands of their street transportation comes. Mr. Cotsworth's proposal to make the "no seat, no faro" lim effectual is excellent in theory, but it is doubtful whether it Id be put info practical effect. Thc average man detests a scene |c than anything else in the world, and would certainly baulk nt Iting one in n car unless be were sure that a similar protest was |g made simultaneously throughout the city. The most practical of all the recommendations set forth is the fourth in .Mr. Cotsworth's list, in which he urges that support be given to the Canndn Power Company to come into competition with the B. C. E. R, The advent of a rival company operating motor omnibuses would give lhe much needed relief to tbe public more effectually lhan anything else. In the meantime the citizens of Victoria have shown that they have no intention of parting with their money nt the beck and call of the company. The sale of bicycles has gone up and a glance at the outward bound cars between five and six o'clock in the evening will show that there aro many who intend to reach their homes in future without the aid of tho B. 0. E. E. As The Week said in its last issue, it is extremely doubtful whether the increased price of the fares will result in a corresponding increase in the company's receipts. Alien Labour FOLLOWING upon a request for informal ion by Alderman Cuthbort, a list of names of men employed on the Sooke Waterworks was submitted to the Council on Monthly night, but few, if any, details as to the manner of their engagement were avnilnble, as no records of the same had been kept. The public is gradually being aroused to a sense of indignntion in the mntter of nlien labour, it has long been known that British subjects have had to walk the streets in the ranks of the unemployed, whilst aliens, either from the South of Europe or from South of the Line, hnve obtained work with little or no difficulty. But the public generally have not yet taken a decided stand in the matter. Individuals have waxed wroth when specific cases have been brought to their attention, but for the most part they hnve been content to indulge in grumblings, vague threats und forebodings as to what the country is coming to. It would seem, however, ns though the time is rapidly becoming ripe for an organized protest against the suicidal policy of allowing men of other nationalities to take the bread out of the mouths of our own people. A few days ngo The AVeek received a visit from a man who wns recently employed on the Sooke Waterworks in a position which naturally gave him special opportunities to become acquainted with Ihe real facts as to alien labour. The story he told of (liscriminntion ngninst men of British origin was almost incredible. He pointed out that almost all tlie positions of trust and responsibility were iu the hands of aliens nnd that when a British subject walked into camp to look for work, though he might he taken on for n day or Iwo, be was invariably "fired" nfter three days. Thc only, wny to check ibis wholesale discrimination against our fellow-countrymen is by substituting British subjects for aliens as foremen. In addition, a watchful eye should be kept on employment agencies. It stands to reason that a commission fee for employment found offers a big indncemenl to nn unscrupulous agency to send men out continuously, and this enn be easily managed if an arrangement he mnde with the various foremen nt the place of employment. The Week is not prepared to say that such agreements are in existence in the case of the Sooke waterworks, hut it is in n position to know that the public generally would feel better satisfied if it. were positively assured lhat no snch agreements existed between the foremen ami the agencies. The only wny to ensure this is to insist on men being hired through the civic labour burenu, which is conducted by responsible parties. Unfortunately the document presented to the Council on Monday night made it certain that this course has not been pursued in the past. It hns remained for the Board of Directors of the Royal Jubilee hospital to point tho way to the city and other concerns which contemplate any kind of construct ion work. The Board resolved amongst other things of a highly comraendnble nature that "every workmen actually engaged on construction work shall be n British subject." This is a good example. Will the city follow it? The New Judges CONGEATULATIONS nre in order lo the Hon. A. E. McPhillips, E.C., President of the Council ami Member in the Provincial Legislature for the Islands, on liis elevation to the bench of the Appeal Court of British Columbia. The appointment is essentially a popular one and hnlh political parlies have signified Iheir unqualified approval of the action of the authorities nt Ottawa in selecting Mr. McPhillips to fill the vacancy in the Appellate Court. The new judge has had n distinguished career iu the Province. Born in Ontario, he was first called to the bar in Manitoba, but soon gravitated to the Coasl and seven years after his arrival in British Columbia he achieved the distinction of being elected President of the Victoria Bar .Association. In lhe same year he entered the local House as member for Victoria, and in 1003 was selected by Premier 'MeBride for Attorney-General. Three years ago he was appointed President of the Council and held thai office lill his reeenl elevation to tbe bench. Mr. McPhillips activities, however, have nol boon confined to the legal profession. A graduate id' lhe Royal School of Infantry, Toronto, he saw service in lhe Kiel Rebellion of 18815, nnd was present at the engagements at Pish Creek and Bntoebo. As a writer he is also well known nnd many pamphlets and newspaper articles have been published from his pen. The second legal appointment during the week has been that of Mr, W. A. .Macdonald. K.C., to the bench of the Supreme Court of British Columbia. Mr. Macdonald also is a native of Ontario and first practised law in Manitoba, in which Province he took an active part in polities, being leader of tbe Opposition in 1802. Five years later Mr, .Macdonald moved inlo British Columbin nnd opened an office in Nelson where he represented the Crow's Nest Pnss Coal Company iu the "Explosion" cases, lie also distinguished himself ns cily solicitor for the City of Nelson in the legal fight between that city and the West Kootenay Power & Light Company. Vancouver became his home in 1000 where he has since been practising ns senior member of the firm of Macdonald. Parkes & Anderson. Journalists Both JOUBNALISH in British Coiiinhia has sulfered a sad loss during tho past fortnight by the death of two men who both achieved the highest distinction in lhe Province amongst the ranks of newspapermen. It is possible thnt the majority of Victorians who knew the lnte .Mr. Frank I. Clarke, regarded him rather us a conspicuous ornament to the Provincial Civil Service than as one who had made a reputation for himself in the world of letters, for during the past seven years Mr. Clarke has acted as secretary of the Provincial Burenu of Information and it was in this capacity that he came into contact with the large numbers of British Columbians who have entered the Province since bis appointment. Before entering the Government employ, however, Mr. Clarke hud enjoyed a wide reputation extending over thirty years in the field of journalism. Successively connected with The Manitohan, The Northwest Review. The .Manitoba Free Press. The Norwester, The Winnipeg Telegram and Town Topics, ho finally became nssocinted with Vietorin press nnd joined the editorial staff at The Globe when thnt paper was first printed in the Capital. Later he transferred his pen to the service of The Colonist and more reeenl ly worked on Nanninio and Vancouver publications. In addition to his regular occupation on these papers he wns a frequent contributor fo Eastern papers and magazines and was one of lhe first, as he wns one of the ablest, of lhe publicity writers who have done, so much to advertise the vast resources ot British Columbin lo lhe world. This work Inter became his principal occupation, and as head of the Bureau of Informal ion he was responsible for the dissemination of quantities of literature and lhe preparation of reliable reports. One of Ihe first founders of the local Canadian Club and ils first secretary. Mr. Clarke was always identified with public matters in his own cily and the news of his death which took place on Sunday, September 14th, was received with the decpesl expressions of regret hy the ninny who were privileged to know bim. Mr. William llarkiu. known throughout the length and breadth of British Columbia as "Bill" Harkin, is the second of Iwo men who made their names in llie newspaper world, whose recent death we regret to announce. The late .Mr. llarkiu was a typical example of the pioneer newspaperman. He knew his Canada os most people know their own cities, and it was his lot to be associated with many of lhe epochal events which have furnished ils history. Born in Ontario, he early entered the profession which claimed him for its own throughout liis life. Montreal nud New York knew bim; be was a familiar figure in the Press Gallery at Ottawa, and for ninny years he wns u leading mnn on lhe staff of lhe Vancouver Daily Province. He wns one of the most lovable of men and his. dentil early on Sunday morning lnsl cast a profound gloom over ihe hearts of his many friends and admirers throughout the Province. The Agricultural Exhibition IT IS lbe fashion in u new country to herald lhe opening of any exhibition with a wealth of superlative adjectives, and if the exhibition happens to he an niinunl affair it is considered only just and right lo stale uublusllingly, regardless of lhe facts. Ihal il is the besl anil biggest ihal has ever been held. This being so, and few people who rend iheir daily papers regularly will deny il, il becomes embarrassing lo know exactly whnl to say when lhe words referred to above do actually meet the merits of ihe case. The hahil of "boosting" has developed inlo a cult which is almost sucrod amongst the cities of lhe West, and as, in the fable, the cry of "Wolf" ceased lo carry any weight after il had been falsely raised, so il is possible lhat when circumstances really demand thnt a special meed of praise lie given, the written word mny fail id' ils intention. However ihnl may he, the fact remains lhat in the 1013 Agricultural Exhibition Victoria is witnessing lhe mosl successful of the many which have been bold within her borders, ll is not the purpose of Tho Week lo enter into a detailed description of the varied attractions which are to be seen ai the Exhibition Grounds, but il would he failing iu its duly if ii failed to mnke special comment on one feature which marks the beginning of a new era al lhe Willows Park, and thai is the "Made ie Victoria" exhibit. Victoria has for so long been regarded us a residential city that ninny of ils own citizens fail lo realize lhat il is also the home of many manufactures. We are all prepared to give ii short list of firms who own factories and workshops in the city, but few of us have any idea of lhe sums of money paid monthly in wnges to factory employees, und few of us have nny real conception of the ninny articles which are actually made iu Vietorin. It has long been felt Ihnl u "Mnde in Vietorin" exhibit should form pari of the attractions at the annual exhibition, bul up to the present yenr lack of proper organization, lack of enthusiasm on ihe purl of llie manufacturers and the failure on lhe purl of the hitler to see the advantages which would accrue from such nn exhibit have militated ngninst this attraction being provided. This year, however, nil opposition wus curly overcome with the result thut the thousands of visitors have hnd an opportunity of seeing for themselves what Vicloria ns a manufacturing centre can produce.

He often said that his doom and his strength wns to ho solitary; but, though be wns not a "club- able" man—spite ot his attendances at the "Saturday"—he was genial, and would speak cheerily to every stranger on the road, when out for his walks in the country.

The bicycle was already beginning lo pall. Its novelty had worn nil and tlie rapid decrease in price had made it an article of snch common use lhat half its charm was lost. So the bicycle was discarded by all save schoolboys aud a small percentage of business and working-men and mankind resigned itself lo a life ill which exercise had no furl her place. Lastly came lhe automobile and in ils train, tho motorcycle. It would have seemed that now at last the quietus had been given lo regular daily exercise. Motors and electric cars conveyed Iheir thousands to and from work; an infinitesimal percentage of llie population rode a bicycle and a slill smaller number walked. 11 looked as though humanity was doomed to lose all motive power of its own, and this may lie (he case in other less favoured districts, and might have been tlie case in British Columbia, had it not been for the action of the B. C. E. R. By raising tlie fares, by abolishing commutation privileges they have aroused the people lo a sense of injustice and llie people have retaliated in a way which will react to their own physical good and well-being. It may be that an era of walking' will ensue. In a recent issue Tlie Vicloria Times printed an interview hold wilh an English walker who deprecated lhe absence of walking clubs in this pari of llie world. He referred to tlie walking clubs of the Old Country which arc slill existent and emphasized (he physical advantages which characterize this form of exorcise. If an awakened interest ill walking should accrue from the increased slreet car rates, the B. C. E. R. will have deserved well of the public and the title of this article will be justified, if considered in conjunction '.villi St. Mallhew VII. 10. and tumultuous passions of youth; proceeding thence, puts off the egotism of manhood, and becomes at last a public and universal soul. He is rising to greater heights, but also rising to realities; the outer relations and circumstances dying out, he entering deeper into God, God into him, until the last garment of egotism falls, and he is with God—shares the will and the immensiey of the First Cause.''—Immortality. In religion, tlie heterodoxy of today becomes the orthodoxy of tomorrow. Emerson, over whose body, —as over Patroclus'—the Greeks and Trojans fought after his Divinity School Address, is now alive again— is quoted even in the most respectable pulpits. As a mater of fact, Emer- sun was pre-eminently a believer. His salvation was by faith, which was stronger and higher than that of those who called him atheist. He never wavered in his belief that God is good. Philosophy may evaporate the world away—may dwindle its richness into an unearthly ballet of blood la's, categories; lint Emerson at this point throws it overboard. "In your metaphysics you have'denied personality to the Deity: yet when the devout motions of the soul come, yield to them heart and life, though they should clothe God with shape \ and color. Leave your theory, as Joseph his coat in the hands of the harlot, aud flee" (Self Reliance). What [ ever philosophy may say, he will be- j lieve iu the goodness of the Universe, it exists for the weal of souls. As to the stock problems—origin of evil and what not—he avoids them and sticks to liis primary faith. "Before all such questions," says Lord Gilford, "he stands uncovered and reverently silent. No proud denial, no cynic scoff, no heartless sneer escapes him; and without a theory of the universe he clings to its moral meaning." The education of the will is the object of existence. Who shall say that any nobler faith is possible? Who shall say that this great faith is inferior to the smaller kind, which is faith in limited expres- oions only—expressions called dogmas. Emerson will not cabin and confine himself in a man-made formula; the Universe is greater than any formula, and it is only when robust faith and width of view are absent, that formulas are accepted as satisfactory. God is an ocean: theology is on analysis of its salts, and, in "evaporating to dryness," the divine richness and beauty has also vanished. Emerson saw the ocean, and could not rest sat- islied wilh a handful of dry precipitate. And he helps others to that higher vision. EMERSON (Continued From Page Two) hi 3d ll nl) I high oft I hi Ihabi sure ycling liuch ofl I nnil ngt ■low, I for bv as llie earth was (11; for their dwelling-place; and that the lower perish as Hie higher appear.

And if one shall read the future of tlio race hinted in Hie organic effort of Nature to mount and meliorate, and the corresponding impiile to the Bettor in tho human being, wc shall dare affirm that, there is nothing he will not overcome and convert, until at Inst culturo shall absorb the chaos and gehenna.''—Culture. "Tho bases gnlher to the solid firmament; the chemie, lump arives at Hie plant, and grows; arrives nt thc quadruped, and walks; arrives at the man, and thinks."—Uses of Great Mon. "And the poor grass shall plot and plan What it will do when it. is man." —Bacchus. "Plants nre thc young of the world, vessels of health and vigor; but they grope ever upward towards consciousness; tho trees are imperfect men, and seem to bemoan their imprisonment, rooted in the ground."— Nature. "He (Leibnitz) snys to thc caterpillar, How dost thou, brother? Please God, you shall yet be a philosopher.' —(Unpublished lecture on tlio Humanity of Science; see Notes, Vol. IX, p. 457.) "And, striving to be man, the worm Mounts through all the spires of form." —Motto to Nature. Then, as is his Plato-like habit, lifting the material into the spiritual plans :— "Within every man's thought is a higher thought—within the character he exhibits to-day, a higher character. The youth puts off the illusions WITH new features being added almost daily, lhe plans for tlie Portola Festival, to be given in San Francisco October 22 lo 25, are rapidly advancing. This fiesta promises to he tlie most elaborate ever given iu llle West. Commemorating lhc -lOOlh anniversary of the discovery ot Hie Pacific Ocean hy Vasco Nunez de Balboa, it holds interest for lhe entire Wost. Not only from every part of California, but from oilier Stales throughout the West have come pledges of co-operation and assurances of participation. Balboa holds tlie centre of the stage Ihis year, as in 111(1!) interest centered iu Don Gaspur de Portola, discoverer of Ihe hay of Sao Francisco and lirst governor of California under Spanish rule. Tlie lirsl Portola Festival of four years ago is lo be outdone Ihis fall, however. Because of this world-itnportnnl anniversary, the Portola has received the endorsement ot! twenty-five nations, whose consular representatives iu San Francisco have formed a special committee lo emphasize Hie international character of lhc event. While four conlincuts are represented on this committee, the Latin countries form a goodly proportion of the whole. The Romantic peoples on bolli sides of llie Atlantic arc giving especial nlleiition lo Ihis tribute to lhe two illustrious Spaniards. Balboa and Portola. a\s befits the commemoration of nu ocean's discovery, marine interest will predominate in lhe festival. Secretary of lhe Navy Josephus Daniels has in person promised the Portola Festival Committee that Hie entire Paeilic licet will be in San Francisco harbour for the fete. The maritime idea will be carried out in the great night electric pageant, whose immense lloals—the biggest ever made—will be reproductions of ships from tho em of the trireme to that of Hie Dreadnought. In every detail of tlie holiday San Francisco has set i ut lo establish a new record. With Market Street and lhe side streets turned into a bower, Hie decorations will bo the most elaborate ever installed. The greens are measured by Hie lens of miles the flags by the acre, and the illumination plans call for a million candlepower, In the day parades organizations and communities from Hie Alaskan boundary to the Mexican line \vpt be represented, and Honolulu will participate. Withal, it will he more than a holiday—it will he an education as well.

DAVIS, ProprUtor P*ge Six THE WEEK Victoria, B.C., September 27' te=-=«B REAL ESTATE & FINANCE ya^ssmaegB-tt SINCE the iiniincial stringency became pronounced, slill mon' has been heard of loans on life insurance policies. In past years, it was not uncommon to hear those in the life insurance business talk considerably of the loan as a grent feature of the policy. Times have changed. Efforts are being made by the officials to reduce what bus become almost an evil of policyholders borrowing money upon the reserve value of their policies. Mr. F. V. Uryden, president of the Prudential insurance Company, of Newark, !NT. J., has issued a statomenl on the mailer, and makes the somewhat astonishing statement thai about one ordinary policy in four held by its policyholders has a loan lien against it. He believes that experience has fully demonstrated that very frequently loans are obtained without any real necessity, and that "loading down a policy with loans is not only the frequent cause of its ultimate lapse, but that under such circumstances the policyholder becomes the ready prey to that pirate of tho business known as tho 'twister'." Borrowing on a policy has been well described as "borrowing from the beneficiary," and the disappointment of beneficiaries on finding that the amount payable under a claim has been diminished on account of such loans is well known. Mr. Drydcn has, therefore, asked the co-operation of his agents along definite lines of action. "First," he says, "strive for a reduction in the number and amount of new loans. When soliciting insurance do not make a special feature of tlio loan privilege, as the casual mention of it should be sufficient in most cases. "Again, when a policyholder applies for a loan, while you should remember that he is within his rights in so doing, you should, nevertheless, call his attention in a tactful and friendly way to the danger of mortgaging the policy, and of thus reducing the protection and increasing the probability of eventual lapse. If lie finally decides to secure a loan, then show him the wisdom of applying for only such an amount as is absolutely necessary to meet his emergency. "Second, strive for repayment or reduction of outstanding loans and collection of interest. As opportunity offers, policyholders should be urged to repay their loans in full, if possible, or nt least by regular instalments of $5 or upwards. In any event, the interest when due should be collected whenever possible, thus avoiding any increase iu the original loan." The lifo insurance loan is not as popular with the insurance companies as it once was. It should be far less popular with policyholders. Tho Monetary Times would like to see it go altogether. —The Monetary Times. cess of lhe amount included in monthly reports, $1,245,583. Deduct fixed charges of $10,87(1,352. Surplus $36,- 615,085.

IT IS somewhat discouraging for the second year in succession to have to record a serious reduction iu the import of butter into the mother country from the British Dominions, Btnles .Messrs. Wcddel & Company's annual review of Great Britain's produce imports. The great increases made in lhe years ending June 30, 1010, nml more notably 1011, when the highest export over known wns recorded, raised (he expectation that thc United Kingdom could rely upon a growing supply of butter from thc outlying parts of the Empire. The encouraging prospect then opened up has disappeared, and uncertainty ns to these supplies being maintained in the future again prevails, notwithstanding the more favourable prospects for the coining yenr. A reduction of 1.3,027 tons, or 24.0 per cent, from the previous season is a sad record to hnve lo write over lhe pnst yenr, but it is unhappily true, the total import from the Oversea Dominions into lhe United Kingdom for 1913 being only 30,830 tons. That wns 21,103 Inns below the record year of 1911, when 61,023 tons arrived. The Dominions of Xew Zealand nud Canada show serious dciiciencics for the past year, as also do Ihe various AllS- 1 rii I in ii Slates, wilh the sole exception of Queensland, which increased her shipments by 2,3(17 tons. The past yenr boars witness lo lhe fact Hint Canadian supplies of butler to the Mollier Country, which began to reneh England aboul the middle ol' lhe nineteenth century, hnve come to nn end, und ihe only consoling circumstance in connection wilh Ihis fuel is Hint it is due to the prosperity ol' Canada and her increased consumption arising from the rapid growth of population. So recently ns in the yenr ended June, 1900, Cnnnda sent no less thnn 15,145 tons to this country. In 1911-12 she sent 2,907, but Ihis wns an unjustifiably large export brniighl about hy lhc extraordinarily high prices prevailing here in Ihe autumn of 1011; and before lhc yenr closed Canada was compelled In import butter from Great Britain nnd from New Zenlnnd, hnving over-exported her slocks, nnd not having enough lo feed her own population. TllFa most noteworthy fnct brought lo light by the new bulletin on the lumber production of Canada wns the 10.7 per cent decrease in cut in 1012 ns compared with Hint of 1011. All Provinces except. Saskatchewan showed a substantial tailing off in production nnd, nllhoiigh only 2,558 firms operating snw mills reported in 1912, ns ngninst 2,871 in 1911, yet, ns tho bulletin points out, it wns mostly small mills ivhicli failed to report, and the fnct that nosl of the larger mills reported a decrease in their output, indicates that the decrease in production actually look plnce and wns not n result of incomplete returns. The total vnl'io of the lumber, laths, shingle .nd sqiini'ft limber produced in ' i. in 1911 wus $70,540,897, the amount of 'neh being ns follows: Limuer, J.389,723 feet hoard measure, $09,475,784; hi g-les, 1,178,343,000 pieces, $3,175,319; lath, 899,010,000 pieces, $2,064,022; square timber. 65,- 906 tons $1,825,154. Ontario Leads Provinces Ontario still leads tlle Provinces in lumber production, cuI ting 31.0 per cent of the total. British Columbia makes a close, second, cull ing 29.9 per cent of the total, and ns lhe percentage of production in this latter Province is increasing while Hint, of Ontario is falling oil, it is likely that the position of Ihese two Provinces will he seen to be reversed when the 19.13 li,..ui'cs nre available. AN importniil in uine-tax decision wns given bj the House of Lords recently, the question being whether the Liverpool & London & fllobo Insurance Company, which bus a head office in England nnd carries on business in various purls of the world, can he charged income-tax in respect of tlie inleresl nml dividend on investments in Ihe United Stales, iii Canada and in Australia, which nre spent in llmse countries, none of the profits being remitted to England. The company contended Hint il wns not liable, but Mr. Justice Hamilton nnd Ihe Conn of Apponl held differently. Lord Slinw, in delivering judgment, snid Ihnl in his opinion the lengthy argument presented for the compnny was without nny foundation ill fact or in law, and that the appeal should he dismissed with costs. Lord Parker, Lord Loroburn und Lord Morsey concurred, nnd the appeal was accordingly dismissed with costs. AT a meeting of the directors of the C. P.

The Editor Tlie Week, Dear Sir;—Thu raising of the tares for travellers by the street cars of the British Columbia Electric Railway, through the unobstrusivo mode of reducing the privileges and partial exemptions hitherto allowed, <;ives e.n occasion for comment on the service that the company renders lo lhe public of Victoria. Until of quite recent date the enrs themselves have been of n rather antique and inconvenient pattern, of the kind that one still sees run ns extra ears iu the daily pressure of business in lhc evening hours when people ere reluming homewards after the day's work. No timetables nre usually published either for lhe cily service or for the new suburban service, nnd il is not therefore readily apparent what the gaps in thc services nre. It is nn undoubted hardship Unit the men employed ou steamers, whose home port is Victoria, when they arrive here enrly on Sunday morning according lo Iheir regular schedule or frequent experience, can find no street car to tnke them home until after 9 ii.iii. Residents, too, who would travel by the familiar 9 a.m. train to Duncans and Nanaimo on Sundays, have fo find other menns of conveyance to tlie train than thut which Ihey make use of on the week dnys, namely Ihe slreet car, for no car is running in lime for lhat train, 11 is understood thnt Hie hist car for llie near suburbs leaves ut 11:30, nfter lhat unlil lhe following morning nt 6 a.m., lhe street ear passenger service is culled off. In lhe ninllor of the service rendered, habit perhaps mny blunt the sense lo the weary delays on lhe Esquimalt rond, resulting from trucks of singh line. A similar though less poignant criticism may be passed on the Foul Bny line; nud lhe absence of a bell line connecting lhe Foul Bay with the Onk Bay line, and lhe Fern- wood line with Hie Onk Buy line mny perhnps be nlso commented on. These are all points tha1. may he borne in mind when changes and Alteration in lho slrccl enr service of the city nre under attention, More may perhnps be expected from lhe public, nnd more mny be expected perhnps from the British Columbin Electric Railway, nlso.

This month the lonsolidated Mining & Smelting Com- lany, which has a smelter at Trail liid mines in various parts of the pootenay and Boundary districts, is aying out $110,000, representing the bcond quarterly dividend of 2 per lint, declared last June. The Stand- rd mine at Silverton has paid its Tuial monthly dividend of $50,000, lid the Henley company, which oper- tes the Niokhs Plate mine at Hedley, | paying out $60,000. The dividends of Kootenay .and oundary companies for the year to le are: Standard, $450,000; Brit- li Columbia Copper Company, with smelter at Greenwood, $88,000; J'aiiby, with smelter at Grand Forks, 137,000; Lo Boi No. 2, at Rossland, |'i,000: Consolidated, $220,000; Hcd- $180,000. kNE of the exhibits which will attract the attention of visitors Prince Rupert fair will be a dis- of excellent conl from the uotn- j property of the Copper River Coal Indicate, situated on Coal creek, Iriiss the divide botwon the Bulkloy Copper rivers. Superintendent J B. Clicttlehurgh, who returned the lier day from a visit to the mine, Ties that only a small force is at fcseiit omployod. A large amount J work hns been done on the claims, Id their merit has been proven. The lerntors, satisfied with the result of hir prospecting, are marking time Itil the railway is in full operation, |en they intend to install macliin- and proceed with ael mil devclop- nt on a scale impossible under Iscnt conditions. rPWARDS of $500,000 have been spent ill the development of the bperty of the Cnnndinn Marble pries at Marblehcad up to the prcs- ; time, and the indications are cal- lated to inspire confidence in the Innate sucess of the venture. At Jisent the work is being oarired on la conservative manner wilh a force labout 10 men. Last week four, huge blocks of marble wero taken out. These were almost perfect blocks, the largest measuring well over 100 cubic feet. This product in the rough is worth $2 per foot, and when sawn for ornamental building purposes brings $10 per cubic foot. The tunel where the quarrying is being done is so large as to receive its lighting from the daylight, and is about, 30 feet wide and 29 feet high, and has been driven straight in about 60 feet. The product now encountered is said to bo the most pro duced as yet, from its comparative freedom from "heads" or seams, which may or may not prove serious imperfections ,'|When lthe marble 5s sawn. A drill hole driven down almost perpendicularly to a depth of 140 feet shows the marble deposit to be sound and good to that depth. The whole situation is said to be most encouraging and gives good hopes lhat a permanent industry will result from the wotrk. The industry d's financed hy Winnipeg capitalists. JC. WILSON, of Spokane, repre- . sonting the Federal Mining Company, arrived in Nelson recently and left for Nakusp to make arrangements with A. M. Symon for an examination of the great zinc ledge on Pingston creek. This is an immense body of ore, 250 feet wide in places, and outcrops on 13 consecutive claims, and for half that distance one can walk on solid mineral. There is a wagon road from the Canadian Pacific Lumber Company 's sawmill, at the mouth of Pingston creek, to the mines, a distance of seven miles. The best claims on the ledge ore owned by Mr. Symon nnd associates. The ore carries some silver, but this will only be a byproduct. Mr. Wilson says there is more capital looking for investment iu legitimate mining enterprises than there has been for many years, and this part of the country is coming in for a large share of attention. TESTS made at the mines around Phoenix and Greenwood during the past few days with powder manufactured by the Steelite Explosives (Canada), Limited, at their plant on Slocan lake, gave very satisfactory results in every instance. Kenneth Campbell, of Nelson, one of the directors of the company, was recently in the Boundary making demonstrations. The first test was "'■■■i» '•• lhe Argo tunnel nt Greenwood. The face of the tunnel on this property is in 900 feet, and there is no ventilation, yet after the blasts were set off there were no indications of noxious gases or bad air. Steelite powder will from now on be used exclusively in driving this tunnel. At the Mother Lode, in blasting and bulldozing, the powder was subjected to a severe test by Superintendent Norcross and his foreman. The hardest rock in the mine was selected and less than the usual amount of powder was used, but the powder did its work and did it well. In the Rawhide mine a 10-foot hole and a 15-foot hole were loaded with less Steelite powder than tho blasters were accustomed to use of other powder and the holes broke clean to the bottom. John Findlay, the foreman, spoke very highly of tlie result. Demonstrations nt the Granby proved equally satisfactory to Mr. Swanson, the company's foreman. This powder contains neither gelignite nor glycerine, and is not affected by either heat or cold. Another point claimed for it is that it is safe to handle, and can be set off only by using a detonating cap. Mr. Campbell will remain hero a few days longer making demonstrations. THE bond . held by Frank A. "Jumbo" Brown on the Owen Lake group of mines, Omineca mining division, noted for its big showing of zinc ore, expired on September 1st. Mr. Brown, who has already spent a considerable sum in developing the property, stated to The Mineca Miner that he is so well satisfied with its merit that he has arranged to carry out a comprehensive plan of work, under a new bond, the purchase price being fixed at $50,000. This property shows good values in zinc, copper, lead, aud silver. There are now five veins exposed in the workings, ranging in width from 4'/, to 10 feet. All the leads occur in a granite and porphyry formation. The claims are located 14 miles from the railway and lliere is a good grade for a wagon road to the property, which is only 1,000 feet higher than the railway. PRESIDENT .A. E. WATTS, of Wattsburg, and Vice-President A. Carney, of Kaslo, of the Boundary Mining & Exploration Company, passed through Grand Forks recently en route to inspect the company's coal property at Midway. Mr. Watts stated that they were preparing to instnl new machinery at the mine. He also said to a representative of The Grand Forks Gazette that the prospects for a large producing mine increase most encouraging as development at the property continues, nnd that in the not distant future Midway eoal will be able to be delivered in Grand Forks at a price which will displace the coal of more distant SMELTING over 800,000 tons of ore and making close to 15,000,000 pounds of blister copper during the eight months ending August 31, the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelting & Power Company are keeping close to the splendid record of production which was attained last year. The figures for this year are slightly less than those for a similar period last year, occasioned through furnaces being out for repair a great number of days. ROUSED by recent discoveries of rich undeveloped mineral, asphalt, gas and oil resources in various parts of thc Western provinces, scores of prospectors and experts known in many camps throughout the United States and Canada and Mexico are making exhaustive searches in the Peace River country and other northern districts. Central and Southern Alberta are nlso being prospected as never before. The Dominion and provincial governments have their experts in the field, and even some of the northern Indians and halfbreeds, who usually confine their operations to trapping furs, which is no mean industry when it is recalled that pure black fox whelps bring as high as $10,000 a pair in this and outside markets, are using the pick, pan and drill to uncover wealth hidden in the hills, canyons and river beds all over the West. Several hundred thousand tons of provisions and supplies, including mining, drilling and sawmill outfits, have been shipped from Edmonton to the outposts of civilization during the last 90 days, and much more equipment will go forward before the close of the season. Seventeen parties are prospecting in the Canadian Rockies, west of Edmonton, but most of the work at present is being carried on in the north country. William Gordon, a pioneer of the Fort McMurray district, said in Ed monton recently that prominent Eng Iish and American financial houses are backing several of tbe prospecting parties.

Registrar General of Titles, septe 13 net 12 Page Eight THE WEEK Victoria, B.C., September 27 "SOTTO VOCE" Bv the Hornet THAT "Kitty Gordon's" press agent 1ms surely struck the limit. in the pretentious sheet styled "The Gordouian.'' Ha That people arc not really interested iu the personal details of an actress' life, even when she is "The peeress of the great English noble family of Beresford." That for vulgar, blatant, bad taste "The Gordouian" would be hard to beat anywhere. ja*: That it is a pity that a charming actress should nllow herself to be thus made ridiculous by her manager. Thnt the city sennvengers hnve Iheir pride like other folks, nud consider that their duties do not entail the re- movnl of dnmp garbage. », That nt nny rule they draw the line at "wriggly" things. Thnt if your meat develops n family of Ihese "wriggly" things you musl get the scavenger and Ihe Cily Engineer into direct communication before tlie former will remove them, Thnt at present it appears Ihal Ihe by-law has made no proper precision for the correct disposal of the "wrig- glics.'' That if the scavenger refuses to move them and the bylaws prohibit the lighting of a bon-firo to burn them —what are you going to do wilh them 1 ?!, That the Baby Show at lhc Exhibition was Ihe one tiling which was badly mnnnged. Nf That it wns impossible for those whii hnd pnid for entrance to see the exhibits. That not more than one adult should have been allowed lo accompany each baby. That an indignant citizen has suggested that all car fares should lie paid for iu $2 bills, and no American money taken in chnnge. Thnt the worst, of it is Hint such measures purtnke of the nature of cutting oil' one's nose lo spile one's face. Thai George Sangster hns been wearing n smile this week, nnd no wonder. Thai lhc Country Club directors aren't looking so unhappy either. ?!* That up to the present "Hornet" hns nol heard of any fond pareul warning his sons lo avoid growing up liko the Country Club directors. That until The Colonist made the suggestion lnsl Sunday, no one hnd thought that Ihese man had been particularly detrimental to the city iu lhe past. rl' That many people think that some of them have helped to "make lhe community worth living in." That on the occasion of the next visit of United States war vessels to Esquimalt they will receive an invitation from Ihe Arion Club to indulge in a musical festival. That Mr. Secretary Daniels doubtless thinks that it would be well "to tame lhe savage breast" before beginning a nnvnl engagement. Thnt perhaps tho Secretary for the Army will follow suit by ordering n few parlour tricks to be included in the military curriculum, Thnt Mr. Dowler is obviously rehearsing Ihe pnrt of Ihe pea in "Thc Thimblerigger 's Out fit." That with tbe help of the Mayor he is rapidly becoming proficient in his rendering of thnt. pathetic song entitled, "Now you see iiim and now again you don't." *S That nt limes he is Cily Clerk, and Ihen ngnin ho isn't. ** Thnt nfter his term of office has expired the Mayor is going East to challenge "The Boston Garter." That he himself claims to be the champion suspender. That somebody "bit" in connection with the "silly suggestion" that the B. C. E. li. would spend last Stiu- dny in bed. Thnt if Ihe Woodstock (Out.) gaol is so comfortable lhat lhe prisoners dislike moving out, the authorities mighl write for a few tips to the Victoria police headquarters. That the man hns yet to bo found who prefers our locnl poliee cells for his night's repose lo the gutter. That it is not lhe standing in Hie street enr lo which the average person objects, bul Ihe having- lo stand. Thnt the Carnival vaudeville enler- Iniiunent arranged for next Friday night deserves popular support. Thnt it is no good disguising the fnct Hint n certain sum of money has to be raised. The best way to do it is by inducing' a large number of people to give a little. Thnt the only wny to accomplish this is by following along the lines which the Committee hns adopted. That it is no use crying over spilt milk nnd a dollar isn't much to spend when one is doing lhe city a good turn and getting a lot of fun for tho money thrown in.
