XI, No.^-Eleventh Year 2 Victoria, B.C., Canada, July 12, 1913 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year 1 NAVAL DEFENCE I "No policy will' be satisfactory to the people of British Columbia which does not include a substantial and prompt contribution and THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A FLEET TifIT ON THE PACIFIC COAST." The Tariff Bill f'LREADY the "Victoria Times" is beginning to get worried A about the possible condition of the much discussed "Tariff ^ Bill," when the United States Senate becomes tired of tossing ut. The anxiety of the "Times" is lest it should not be suffi- ,y drastic in dealing with the free list to enable it to say, "I told o." The "Times" has been waiting for a long time for the Senate noh its statement that Canada threw away a grand opportunity it refused to accept Doctor Jonathan's reciprocity medicine, and be terribly disappointed if anything interferes with the free gift <h the States has been supposed to be so anxious to present to da. Such generosity as the "Victoria Times" attributes to Uncle would certainly be a surprise packet for Canadians who are tag with unabated interest, and a touch of amusement, the 'jgle-between the advanced Democrats whose pre-election pledges .nteed such an extensive free list, and the conservative forces, or iiess interests, which are fighting desperately against every conces- ' No one doubts that there will be a big free list and substantial ''ons all along the line. This will be in accord with the popular 1, and with President Wilson's policy, but it will not be yed without much "weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth." Better Terms Commission v NCE more the Victoria "Times" has found a mare's nest. The - exposure has been so prompt and complete that it has tried to shuffle one-half of the responsiblity onto the shoulders of Vancouver "Province," which published the dispatch simul- jieously. In its feeble defence of its perverted action the "Times" that since the "Province" is the supporter of the Provincial (iment it would not have been likely to have published the story at were true. It would be interesting to know if any other in- b>s occurred with respect to which the "Times" would have rhe same argument, and would have accepted the lead of the ■.'" However, the matter is a very simple one. The "Times" Uf r. Bodwell and Mr. Lash, the Better Terms Commission- .„. failed to agree upon a chairman, the matter was referred - Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Mr. Lash and Sir Bichard MeBride deny the report )to," and there the matter would end but for the chagrin of the jjes," which must as usual resort to a little mud throwing to keep ind in practice. The mud-throwing consists of an innendo led at the private lives and actions of the Premier and some of ministers. This is in the best and most approved style of the I'm^s" method of conducting a controversy. What it has to do with 1 supposed nomination of Sir Edward Carson or indeed with any Jise of the question under consideration may not be clear to the linary mind, but it is perfectly clear to the "Times," which has no Ipon in its political armory but that of personal abuse. In any |nt the subject of "Better Terms" has always been its "bete noir," 1 the prospect of the Province getting something through the me- |m of the Commission is intolerable. "Hinc illae lachrymae." Land Settlement LEADING English daily is authority for the statement that over 200,000 persons will leave the Old Country this year for Canada, and the vast majority will settle in the provinces of ■North-West. Being an advocate of the Henry George system of Ition it is natural that the paper should attribute this in part to pingle tax ideas which have taken hold in Victoria and Vancouver. Iloing so it quotes from a leaflet issued by a Trust Company in ., which says, "Western Canada is today the most prosperous Jitry on earth. This is partly due to enormous resources just be- Ideveloped, and to the immense sums being spent on railroad con- Iction, but is also very largely due to common sense in tax laws the emigration these induce. The partial application of Henry pge's single tax ideas in Victoria and Vancouver work so well every town, every city and every province in Western Canada is king for their full adoption." Naturally a paper which quotes I paragraph with approval points out that the Trust Company bees the way to attract capital is by levying taxes upon land values, ' incidenally uses this as an argument in favour of the policy Jlr. Asquith's administration. The point is interesting as showing ■impression produced by the partial adoption of single tax prin ciples in B.C., and also as showing the attitude of an important Trust Company when putting forth its best arguments to attract investors and settlers. It is of a special interest in view of the impending proposals wih respect to land taxation in England which Mr. Lloyd- George is preparing; and which there is every reason to believe will be of an extremely drastic character. The Coal Miners' Strike NEITHER the representative of the coal operators, nor the agent of the miners is to be'complimented on the manner in which they have seen fit to anticipate the visit of Hon. T. W. Crofters, the Minister of Labour, who is visiting the Coast in order, if possible, to influence a settlement of the differences which have led to the present disastrous strike. Both Mr. Coulson and Mr. Farring- ton have seen fit to notify Mr. Crothers that he is not wanted, and that they can settle the dispute themselves. These are the express words used by Mr. Coulson and the effect of the words used by Mr. Farrington. Both miss the real point, which is that capital and labour owe some duty to the public and to the State, and that their Courtesy of The Victoria Daily Colonist. DR. S. F. TOLMIE, V.S. President of the British Columbia Agricultural Association, Who Has Just Been Nominated a Member of the Livestock Commission Appointed by the Federal Government. bickerings and quarrelings may reach a point when the public interest demands intervention by the only authority which can intervene with effect. That point has been reached in the Vancouver Island coal strike, and whether the parties like it or not, the Government will intervene and the strike will be ended. The Capitalist may say, "Hands off! I have invested my money and I must be left alone in thc management of my business enterprise. You cannot compel me to keep my mines open and if you interfere I shall close them." The miner may say, "You cannot compel me to work unless I am willing to do so." All this may be granted, but the public will also say, "We need coal, we need enterprises to support our population, and we will not allow either employer or employee to ruin the country with their factious disputes." If they will not keep the mines going, the Government may have to do so for the people. And this is the pass to which things have nearly arrived on Vancouver Island. Professionalism and Sport THE subject of professionalism in connection with sport is attracting a groat deal of attention just now in British Columbia, mainly because of the breakdown of lacrosse, and the subject is of such importance not only to sport itself, but to the general public that it will well repay a little discussion. Time was when lacrosse was "clean," skilful and scientific. Today it is occasionally both skilful and scientific, but it cannot be called "clean." This is admittedly due to the fact that it has become a purely professional business. The objectionable feature is not that one should have to pay players who devote all their time to the game; this is done in the case of professional football in England with the most satisfactory results, as will presently be shown; nor is it that there should be a commercial aspect to an enterprise which requires capital to launch and' operate it, but the feature which is killing lacrosse is the sub ordination of overy other consideration to money making, and the fact/.. that the control of the game has passed into the hands of men like , "Con Jones," who care nothing for the game itself, except, as a means; to an end, and that end the raking in of as many dollars as possibles Incidentally, the system on which the local lacrosse team is managed;: encourages and fosters gambling on an extensive scale to the general demoralization of the game. Nothing can be more profitable in considering this subject than to note the progress of professionalism iu ■ English football. Thirty years ago when it was first introduced, ami'; for some years thereafter, the same evils which now threaten the very'' existence of lacrosse developed. Games were bought and sold. Pro- ■ moters and managers were interested in betting books, roughness characterized the play, and the latter feature in particular became ', i'o prominent that public opinion demanded its suppression. In England when public opinion demands anything it gets it, and the result was the establishment of the National Football Association on sound' lines; all the leading League teams were organized as joint stock companies. Directorates were formed, rules were drawn up, wages1/ were fixed, severe penalties for poaching were imposed, and rough play was denounced. The committee has power to suspend a player | cither temporarily or permanently, and, unlike our so-called committees of management, does not fail to exercise its prerogative. It | goes further and backs up the police in instituting proceedings against a player for roughness which amounts to assault; and it should not be forgotten that an assault at a game is as much an offence against the . law as an assault committed at.any other time or place. One can make every allowance, for occasional forgetfulness and temper in the heat of play, but no allowance should be made for a player who deliberately and without provocation strikes another with intent to maiin or disable him. Such an assault as the spectators witnessed in the j New Westminster-Vancouver game at Oak Bay should undoubtedly have led to police court proceedings, but under the present system there is no discipline, and rowdyism is encouraged rather than suppressed. The problem has been solved at home. The last issue of the "Athletic.News" furnishes interesting and gratifying rending to ' every lover of the game of football. It deals with a number of "investigations," when individual cases were dealt with, and where in addition such prominent teams as Sunderland and Preston were fined heavily for breach of rules. But the interesting feature of the report is that which shows how under proper organization and a strict system the game is flourishing, and the leading clubs are making such substantial profits as will enable them to exploit the game in the best possible manner. For instance,,Sunderland shows a profit for the season of approximately fifty thousand dollars, Aston Villa thirty thousand dollars, Sheffield Wednesday thirty-two thousand dollars, Blackburn Rovers ten thousand dollars, and so on. In most cases the modest dividend of five per cent is declared. Nothing higher than this is paid. The balance of the profit goes to swell the reserve, and in almost every instance to build stands and otherwise improve the grounds; To what extent the public supports the game of football may be gathered from the fact that at Glasgow recently one game was witnessed by one hundred and forty-five thousand people, and the Blackburn Rovers are increasing the capacity of their Ewood Park grounds to accommodate eighty thousand spectators. Surely the moral of all this is that professionalism need not kill any game, but it is bound to do so unless good management is secured. That management cannot be individual, but must be in the hands of a sufficient number of lovers of the game to protect it from abuse, and in any event it is better to come out in one's true colours than to pay the players under the cover of "expenses," and attempt to perpetuate a fraud on the public. H. M. S. New Zealand PREPARATIONS for a suitable reception for H.M.S. New Zealand are proceeding apace despite the cold douche administered by tho City Council. It is not yet possible to publish all the details of the programme, which promises to be sufficiently comprehensive to represent all interests and to satisfy even the ultra loyalist. The "Week" is concerned to notify its readers of the special part assigned to the Navy League. On Saturday the twenty-sixth instant, there will be a reunion of all the branches of the federated Navy League of British Columbia. This will, by permission of the Admiralty and the Government of New Zealand, take place on board the vessel in the afternoon, when an address will be presented on behalf of the League. In the absence of the President, Mr. Clive Phillipps Wolley, in England, the arrangements devolve upon the acting president and secretary, Mr. Wm. Blakemore, to whom all communications relating to the programme of the day can be addressed at this office. Our Flag WHAT the "Colonist" calls a silly incident has occurred in Winnipeg, A j'oung alien saw fit to wave the "Stars and Stripes" in tho face of a regiment of Canadian Militia. It was on the fourth of July, which possibly gave a little extra significance to the affair. The officer of thc regiment ordered his men to take possession of the flag, but the spectators were quicker, and with much show of indignation secured it and trampled it on the ground. The view of the "Colonist" is that such an incident should be overlooked, that the man who waved the flag was silly and that the crowd which intervened was silly. This is a very complacent attitude to assume. The "Week" would say that however silly the man may have been, the crowd did the right thing. They gave a spontaneous illustration of loyalty to their own flag, and of a determination to prevent any other from being displayed on a public occasion. There are many fools in Canada who like to wave the "Stars and Stripes," ^M Pnge Two THE'.WEEK- Victoria, B.C., July 12,1911 and the only reason why they should be discouraged in a drastic manner is because they generally do it in a spirit of bravado and defiance. If we were to make as free use of the Union Jack south of the line as ill-mannered Americans do in Canada, there would be lots of trouble. Canadians are not built that way, and there is therefore all the more rfeason why they should once and for all put their foot down on what may be a "silly proceeding," but is at the same time a deplorable example of discourtesy and ignorance. An Ambassador's Novel 'THE SOUTHERNER,'' by Nicholas Worth (Reprinted from T.P.'s Weekly.) Christian Science DOCTOR D. R, CAMERON, of tho Tabernacle Baptist Church, has seen fit to preach a sermon on the subject of Christian Science, The sermon is an out and out denunciation of the founder, whom it denounces as a fraud, and as a "woman whose life could not bear to be spoken of in polite society." She is also branded a consummate liar. The "Week" is not concerned to defend tbe character of Mrs. Eddy or the doctrines of Christian Science, first of all, because there are others who can do it much better, and upon whom the task naturally devolves, and secondly, because the narrative of Mrs. Eddy's life, upon which Doctor Cameron relies, has been exploded in the American Courts. A controversialist; so unreliable with respect to his facts is not entitled to much respect when one eomes to deal with his arguments. It was hardly to be expected that Doctor Cameron would be able to discuss the subject of Christian Science without ranging himself with those willing "to cast the first stone" at a woman whose life, to use his own polite .phraseology, "could not bear to be spoken of in polite society," for- , getful of the fact that the same description might well be applied, by a Pharisee, to the woman who stands for all time as the finest illustration of divine rebuke. Doctor Cameron, instead of raking up the private details of Mrs. Eddy's life, would do better to address himself to the indisputable fact that Christian Science is making great strides in England, the United States and Canada. That incidentally it is making serious inroads on the so-called orthodox churches. That whether it be a religion or a science or both, or neither, it is reforming and revolutionizing the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. It is building churches on every hand, and they are all-full. It is bringing comfort and hope into lives which have hitherto known nothing but gloom, and it is exercising successfully the most remarkable curative system of modern times. It is at least as remarkable that such results should follow the teaching of a woman as bad as Doctor IT is an open secret now that "The , Southerner," published by Mr. Heiueinan some years ago as the "Autobiography of Nicholas Worth'' (6s) was written by Dr. Walter Hiues Pago, tlie newly-appointed American Ambassador to Loudon. Since the announcement of Dr. Page's acceptance of tlie high diplomatic post, there liave been pages of criticism und description in all the principal papers of America, and Europe. His appearance, his manners, his career, his principles, and his views have been set forth in terms more or less prolix; but in every case with a touch of appreciation. A man of learning and a man of action, Dr. Page made his mark in the American literary world hy his editorship of the "Atlantic Monthly," where he played the part of generous god-father to all young men and women who had a story to tell, or a gospel to propound. From the "Atlantic Monthly" he moved on and helped in the foundation of the now famous publishing firm of Doubleday, Page & Co., whence through Dr. Page's enterprise and initiative, Berne forth that mammoth of the magazine world, "The World's Work." And while managing and editing, Dr. Page wrote and lectured unceasingly—in fact, so much has he been in request as a speaker that we are told his business colleagues called him "our public institution." But his tremendous work as a business man did not prevent him from doing big social work. He was for years a member of the Southern Board of Educn- sentence makes the truest criticism of the spirit of the novel. Dr. Page is fifty-nine years of age, so he was a child of six when South Carolina led the way to secession. We may take it, therefore, that the early chapters of "Tlie Southerner," if not written from memory, are at least written from the recollections of his relatives and neighbours—only the experiences of eye-witnesses could hnve such vividness and poignancy. The horrors of wnr are always best brought home to us hy some small incident, some personal narrative, The imagination and feeling seem to be paralyzed by the cruelties of war en manse—tlenth half loses its significance if we think of thousands and thousands of dead—the carnage of a huge battlefield is inconceivable; even those who have seen it shrink from its description—find it, indeed, untenable. Amidst all the wonderful pen pictures which have been sent by our ablest journalists of the Balkan War, does anything stick in our memory but some small human touch, some single misfortune which does away for the moment with all thought of Turks or allies, and leaves us just face to face with a suffering brother or sister? It is this particular of individualistic interest which gives us in the opening chapters of "The Southerner" the most graphic impression that I know of what the war between North nnd South meant. A boy just tells of things he remembers; homely happenings and touches, at first—the "war" was something very far away from his "And that night the Union'officers occupied my father's bouse. A colonel made his headquarters in the parlour, and he appropriated two bedrooms upstairs. But a' good, deal of work had to be done during the afternoon to make them comfortable for him, for, before he oame, looting cavalrymen of his regiment had run their swords through the beds, looking for hidden silver; and the hearth had neon torn up on the same quest. I saw one soldier who had three silver pitchers hanging from his saddle. And the keen interest awakened in these early pages is kept up to the end. Surely a most remarkable feat in fiction, since Nicholas Worth soon leaves the gossipy reminiscences of the war and comes to the serious study of the building up of a ruined and distracted country. In a series of portraits of Southerners, we see ell the bigotry of hatred aiid unforgive- ness; we see the pride that will not accept defeat, or admit the need for help; we see the dissensions of village politicians, and the unity which only becomes possible when new ideas have to be opposed, or progress has to be retarded. We also see the beautiful home life with its bond of love between parents and children, sisters and brothers, servants and masters, The South, indeed, can have had no more sympathetic chronicler of its dnys of stress and re-making. Nicholas Worth passes from home to college. We have the college of the South and of the North contrasted; he goes to both, and incidentally, we get a line glimpse of a young man's awakening to knowledge and responsibility. And, of course, no hook about the South could leave the negro problem untouched. It is the work of Worth's manhood to help to bring peace and prosperity and content to a divided country. Social reformers of all degrees will be interested in the final solution; some may find inspiration in the co-operative scheme by which the brother of Nicholas brought prosperity to ruined cotton fields, and made happy cotters of enfranchised slaves. Then, as befits a novel, a thread of love holds all together—how lightly, how daintily, and how cleverly readers must find out for themselves. Nor is the woman's question forgotten. Her education in the Southern States made a burning subject for re-l formers. In all his adventures and all! his experiments, Nicholas Worth! showed himself a thoroughgoing dem-T ocrat—as is Dr..Page today.—N.H.W.| •'■'•'.Hi NEW SINGER AT THE WESTHOLME ■ With the engagement of Warren Hi Stetson to supplement the artistes] who nightly entertain at the oabarel show, the management of the West! holme Grill is demonstrating its anxl iety to make this feature of the popul lar supper room one of the finest of tlie Coast.

Courtesy of Building & Finance, Ltd. Cameron makes out Mrs. Eddy to be, as it is, to quote his own words, "that God should have kept the world in ignorance of this teaching for six thousand years." Christian Science may not be all that its adherents claim, but it must be something very different from what Doctor Cameron imagines, to have accomplished the "wonderful works" testified to by thousands who have received its benefits. Dr. Cameron may shelter himself under the prophecy that there would be "false prophets iu these last days," but if he thinks that Mrs. Eddy is one of them he has chosen the worst possible line of argument to convince the world. If there is any literal meaning in the words of Doctor Cameron's Master, "By their fruits ye shall know them," then the fruits of Christian Science bear a testimony which no argument can destroy. R Meat Trust THE editor of the "Colonist" confesses to having had trouble with his butcher, and basing his remarks presumably upon personal experience, suggests that the Editor of the "Times" should order his dinner over the telephone in order to find out if it will be sent C.O.D. Probably as a narrator of fact, the Editor of the "Colonist" hits the mark, but it is not so certain that he is happy in his application because he uses the circumstances as an argument to prove that there is a "meat trust." It reads more like a "fish trust," and in any event, the "Week" can tell the writer of a better way to solve the problem. Let him go without, meat and catch his own fish. A fish diet, which is said to stimulate the brain, will enable him to determine why lamb retails at seventy-five cents a pound in Victoria, while it can be purchased for fifteen cents a pound in Seattle. Why beef and mutton cost twenty-five to thirty cents here and only ten to twelve cents in Seattle. If this does not prove far more conclusively than merely ordering the chop over tho telephone and not getting it C.O.D. that there is a "meat trust," then the "Week" has another guess coming. tion, and served unceasingly on commissions dealing with the reform of abuses and the improvemeut of the condition of the poor. Gut and dried facts as to a man's life and work, however, give little idea of the real nature and personality. Anybody who wants to know of what texture Dr. Page is made has only to rend "The Southerner." It is, in truth, nn autobiography—the autobiography of a high-souled, broad- minded, intellectual, and humanity- loving man. Naturally, Dr. Page would not want to bo identified with all the aspirations, all the sentiments, und all the actions of Nicholas Worth; yet, I doubt, if ho dropped tho noin do guerre, and set ont conscientiously to dissect his nature and character for I ho benefit of the public, he could give truer insight than is contained in his novel. Wore Dr. Page to have done nothing more than to have writ ten "The Southerner," his claim to an ambassadorship would be vindicated. Born in North Carolina, he has always remained a Southerner of Southerners; his novel treats of the political problems left in his country nfter the war; yet, tho tone is ever moderate, ever persuasive, ever statesmanlike, and ever fair-minded. In an afterword to his autobiography, Nicholas Worth says; If nny render of what I have written shall find anywhere a single word of bitterness, I pray him to rub it. out. For I hnve not mount to write such a word. Sympathy for all, and for all toleration; pity for many, and for some affection; against ignorance and narrow-mindedness, wnr to thc end; but bit terness towards no human ej'on- ture. There is nothing to rub out, nnd the young mind: just a kind of bogy that elders exaggerate to children. Then one day:— "When the train stopped they put off a big box and gently laid it in the shade of the fence. The only man at the station was the man who had come to change the mail bags, and he said that this was Billy Morris's coffin, and that lie had been killed in a battle. He asked us to stay with it til lhe could send word to Mr. Morris, who lived two miles away.... "Still more eoffins were brought home, too, us the months and the years passed; and the women of the neighborhood used to come nnd spend whole days with my mother, sewing for tlio soldiers. So precious became woollen cloth that every rag was saved, and the threads were unravelled to bo spun and woven into new fabrics. And they baked bread and roasted chickens and sheep and pigs, and made' cakes, all to go to the soldiers at the front. The father of Nicholas Worth was a "Union" man, and considered the war a mistake, but he could not bear to be regarded as a "traitor" by his neighbours, and had to help the Confederates even against his judgment. It is probably a true bit of personal history with most of the nnrative which follows: "We now all lived in my mother's room.

Kepresentations have been made at,Ottawa respecting the absence of duty on wire rods, in particular and the inconsistencies in the iron and steel tariff in general. The Government apparently admitted that the steel companies' arguments were well founded, but postponed action. Mr. J. II. Plummer, president of the Dominion Steel Corporation, at the company's annual meeting 'last week, stated that it must be a matter of regret to everyone inter- ' ested in the welfare of the country that we are importing such an enormous amount of stuff which could be made in Canada. The growth of our foreign indebtedness is cause for anxiety, and these imports are contributing largely to this growth. The imports of iron and steel products are large. Counting only such as in our present state of development are, or should be, inade in Canada, it is found that Canada's imports for the twelve months ended March 31st, 1913, amounted to 21,168,468 tons, valued at $28,331,349 as against 273,650 tons in 1909, valued at $7,234,116. These figures include only the less finished articles, as, the low average price shows. Taking the whole line of iron and steel and manufactures therefrom, excluding only automobiles, the increase is striking. The total in 1909 was $40,717,661, and in the year ended March 31st, 1913, $138,648,364. Mr. Plummer drew attention to an important point, namely, that a strong tendency of our iron and steel tariff is to build up secondary industries in Canada, depending upon foreign manufacturers for their raw material. While it is true that the Canadian plants cannot as yet cope with the great demand for iron and steel, what is to be regretted, as Mr. Plummer says, is that people in the business are deterred by tariff conditions from increasing the primary and basic lines of manufacture; that large secondary industries are growing up whose existence may depend on the maintenance of supplies of raw material entering at low duties, or even at duty free; that these conditions will make it increasingly difficult to get the . primary industries established in Canada. The outcome may be a condition of industrial dependence on foreign makers of pig iron and of steel in its earlier stages of manufacture, except in the case of a few concerns which start with the coal and ore and sell the product in wire, nails and other finished ■ articles. The bigger steel industries we get, the better for the country. The latest census of manufactures shows that in Canada's 'plants where iron and steel products are made, no less than $123,- 561,319 capital is invested and 48,558 employees draw wages of $25,792,388. With the great demand for steel products in Canada and a fairly regulated tariff, these figures should be considerably increased.—The Monetary Times. The B.C.

Dlr. \\ Victoria, B.C., July 12,1918 ' i ' ''nsi ■,;;;■',:■: w. THE WEE* P«fe Fi»t.; LA Belle Butterfly," which is the title of the play being presented this week by the Pollard Opera Company at the Victoria Theatre, would seem to be ah adaptation of "The American Millionaire" to musical comedy by the introduction of extraneous songs and dances. However that may'be, it proves an excellent vehicle for the art of the visiting company, and though the chorus work this week has been a little ragged, the performances of the principals have been marked with success. I have little hesitation in saying that "La'Belle Butterfly" is essentially a "Teddie" play. The young comedian, Teddie McNamara, who sustains the principal male roles in the Pollard casts, has been enjoying this week a unique opportunity of displaying his versatile talent, and he lias been making the most of it. His rendering of the pathetic song, "The Tears Rolled Down His Cheek" is one of the most amusing comedies that has been seen on the Victoria Theatre stage, nnd his clever dancing at the elose of Eva Pollard's song, "The Last Waltz," has been a feature of every performance. The remaining honours have been fairly divided between Eva Pollard and Queenie Williams, the former as the demure youngest daughter, turned servant girl, and the latter as the unscrupulous but fascinating. actress. Miss Pollard's voice bos been heard to better advantage this week, especially in the song, "What's a Poor Girl to Do!" nnd her skilful combination of the roles of the slavey and the daughter nf the house is worthy of all praise. Miss Willinms created quite a furore at the opening of the second act when she appeared in boy's costume to sing, "Is there Anything that I can do for You?" while her other solos, "Mary wns a Real Wise Girl," and "I Should Worry,'' scored heavily. Special mention must be made of lhe duet from "II Trovatore," snng by Nellie McNamara and PhyliB Phil- lipson, which was rendered with a clearness of enunciation and a depth of feeling which quite surprised the audience and called for a hearty encore. Next week the Pollards will be-seen in "Sergeant Brue," one of the plays selected for their appearance here last year, and generally considered to be that in which they are at their happiest. The work they have been doing since they opened the summer season has been winning them a great deal of favourable comment, and Victorians have been showing their appreciation by well filling the theatre every night. II is not nn easy matter for a stock company to fill even so small a house as the local one during the summer months, but the box office receipts show that the Pollards have more than justified the engagement which will permit of all the better knqwn musical comedies being presented before its termination. LOCAL vaudeville patrons have no reason for complaint this week at the Empress Theatre. In sharp contrast to the show which closed on Saturday last, the current programme has three acts which are good, and the remaining two, though not .in the same class, are well up to the average of the less conspicuous turns in weekly vaudeville. Golden & West are a couple of dancers whose work is clean cut, and they are followed by Walter Daniels in a skit entitled "It Happened at Rehearsal." If this turn started where it finishes and left out tht beginning it would have a better ihance of "making good;" as it is, the opening is uninteresting, and with the exception of the clever falling of the partner, is actually dull. The remaining acts are all good. George Richards & Co. appear in a sketch which is advertised as genuinely funny, and for once the press agent forbears to • exaggerate. "Easy Money" is by far the most amusing, playlet that has been seen here for years, and keeps the house laughing heartily; Laoey Sampson and Mabel Douglas are a couple of witty people who fulfil their purpose, viz., the 'entertaining of the audience, and the quick change work of the lady in lhe basket is little short of marvellous. The programme ends with a fine animal act contributed by the Savoys and their Acrobatic Bull Terriers. *f MELODRAMA ruled strong at the Crystal this week when a powerful film entitled "The Japanese Dagger" was shown on the screen, and proved most popular. This was one of the best pictures ever seen at the Broad Street house, and considering the reputation which this theatre has won for itself during the past eighteen months, it is saying much to say this. Vaudeville between the pictures has preserved the high standard maintained by this management. % RECITAL AT ST. MARGARET'S SCHOOL voice was heard to excellent advantage in her rendering of "The Valley of Laughter," and "The White Rose," and Mrs. Monckton Case, whose sympathetic accompaniments on the piano contributed in no little measure to the success of the afternoon. The Discovery By P. Morton Howard. St. Margaret's School was the scene of a most enjoyable recital on Tuesday afternoon, last when Dr. Stuart Tidey rendered a series of selections from well known authors to the pupils of the school and their friends. Opening with a brief account in French of the life and works of La Fontaine, Dr. Tidey recited a number of that author's fables, and then snng with great effect Schumann's "Die Zwei Grenadiew" in t!ie original. This was followed by a selection from the better known poems of Rudyard Kipling, including "The Recessional," and "The Dead King," nnd then Dr. Tidey closed his part of the entertainment by singing in the Italian Mozart's beautiful "Addio." Assisting the reciter were Miss Goodwin Barton, whose well-trained TEDDY McNAMARA, as Sergenat Brue next week at the Victoria Theatre (Reprinted from London Opinion) Mr. William Bedford was one of those stontish, middle-aged men, who chuckle knowingly when privileged friends accuse them of being gay dogs, but who assume a pained expression when casual acquaintances suggest harmless frivolity. Regularly every morning at ten, Mr. Benford arrived at his office in the city, and, save for a two-hour interval for lunch, sat in a chair till five. By repeating this process for a number of years he had amassed a fortune. This incubator-like method of achieving affluence is one that has quite a vogue in the City, and is doubtless the reason why London is described as the most wonderful place in the world. For means of recreation, Mr. Ben- ford had his club and a convenient aunt, who was delightfully situated at Forest Hill, and was not on speaking terms with his wife. For one of his age, Mr. Benford was a most dutiful nephew, visiting his aunt frequently. This, at any rate, was what he said he did; and we, being like Mrs. Benford, not on speaking terms with the aunt, must accept the statement. But of late Mr. Benford's behavior had been so conspicuously exemplary that naturally his wife was becoming suspicious. After twelve years of married life, no husband can abruptly become a model of decorum without causing the gravest misgivings. Mr. Benford ceased to visit his aunt, and so no longer had to think himself into a headache in adjusting the discrepancies of time between the Bayswater-Forest Hill and BaysWnter- Strand routes. Mr. Benford no longer attended Masonic dinners; Mr. Benford was no longer called to important business engagements at the club by telegrams which he had the foresight to address to his home earlier in the day, What may have caused these changes I cannot say. They may have been due to New Year resolutions, or to incipient old age, or to a sudden yearning to win a round of golf. But Mrs. Benford attributed them either to remorse or artfulness. Her suspicions increased daily when no lapse of Mr. Benford's perfect behaviour occurred. She used to tell him it was nice to think he wns becoming snch a homebird, but she also inspected with great care the envelopes of all letters he received. She expressed delight at his regular habits, and secretly worried over thc reason fori their regularity. And because she could not disestablish his guiltlessness, she.suspected him nll the more. Mr. Benford bore her scepticism with patience, for he knew full well thnt a pose of injured innocence would hardly he warranted by previous episodes. When she feigned artless pleasure nl the change in him, he smiled gravely, as one who hns been misunderstood in the pnst but now freely forgives. And. when, gonded by her suspicious, she cross-questioned him on his doings of thc day, lie replied honestly, assuming neither the overanxious garrulity of guilt nor the terseness which signalizes a need for caution. Gradually his wife's misgivings were lulled, and then it dawned on her thnt she had now a perfect husband. Somehow with this idea wns associated a vista of new hats and nn increased dress allowance. Clothes may not make the man, but a generous dress allowance makes the perfect husband. Still, Mrs. Benford could not part with her suspicions, for, being a woman, she naturally yearned to sny "T told you so," if only to herself. So she resolved to make one decisive effort to establish the guilt or innocence of her spouse. If he proved guilty she would have the satisfaction of venting her dissatisfaction. If he proved innocent, she would hnve the satisfaction of possessing a perfect husband. In this latter eventuality, she decided, she would feel very much like a widow who had been remarried. Now. in the hall of Mr. Benford's abode there hung a telephone. It was by means of the telephone that Mrs, Benford now resolved to settle her doubts one way or the other. So that, about twelve o'clock one morning, she demanded the number of his office iu the City and gpt into communication with him. But there was craft in her plan, and she did not use her voice undisguised. Instead, she cooed softly into the transmitter; so that it was not surprising that Mr. Benford did not recognize her voice. "Is that Mr. Benford!" queried the soft voice. "Yes," admitted Mr. Benford. "Who is it speaking, please!" "Can't you guess!" "I'm afraid I can't, and—and I'm very busy," he hinted. /."Oh,.but you must guess," came the petulant reply. "I haven't the faintest idea—" he began. "Think," she suggested. "I am thinking," he answered. "But I can't— Wait a bit! No, there's something familiar about your voice, but " "You've forgotten me," was the reproachful statement. Mr. Benford looked startled. The conversation was really proving rather stimulating. "No, I haven't forgotten you," he declared, gallantly. "Only for the moment " "You have forgotten me. . . . Qh Willie I" When a man who is habitually addressed as "William" hears his name sighed out in a feminine voice as "Willie," he is apt to perk up. Now Mr. Benford could think of no one likely to address him so affectionately, Save in error. And clearly this was no error, for the unknown had explicitly mentioned his name. Rapidly Mr. Benford cast his mind back to the days of bachelordom. Regretfully he drew blank. '' So you don't know who's speaking to you" came the voice at the other end. "Well, I'II leave yon to try to guess. I'll ring you up tomorrow at the same time. Goodbye 1'' "Don't go!" begged Mr. Benford anxiously. "I'll remember yonr voice in a minute. And you haven't given any message yet, you know!'' He heard a faint laugh, and then the connection was broken. Reluctantly he hung up the receiver and began to ponder. For Mr. Benford was honestly puzzled. But also his interest was whetted. And by degrees a gay little smile took possession of his face. He got through to the exchange and sought to discover whence the call had originated. The damsel Who answered him was of a reserved nature and Mr. Benford's excited queries only led to n cold intimation that if he were a gentleman he would apologize. Baffled, Mr. Benford lit a cigar and sat down to think things over. And a midday smoke was a thing he had denied himself for a long while past. He was wearing a flower in his buttonhole when he arrived home that evening, and in middle age, that was always a symptom. Mrs. Benford observed the buttonhole but said nothing. And she said nothing when Mr. Benford remarked over the dinner table that he guessed poor old Aunt Jane nt Forest Hill would think he had forgotten her, and that he really must look her up nguin just once before long. And' next morning on his wny to the City, Mr. Benford bought three new lies and a fancy waistcoat, and rang up several of his ohib-mntes on the telephone, At twelve there came, the call for which he had been waiting. For Romance wns not one of the spices which had scnsiuiod his life for lhe pnst twelve years. "Good morning, Willie. Remember inn yet!" "Rn-ther!" he asserted, and wondered who on earth she could be. "Who am I?" "You're f-r-r-r!" declared Mr. Benford. "Who" Again Mr. Benford repeated the noise. "I can't hear," came lhe voice a little sharply. "I can't shout any louder," said the wily Mr. Benford, upon whom, to judge from his expression a light had suddenly downed. "Well, can't, I meet you somewhere and have dinner, like—like we used to in the old days!" queried the voice. "Surely!" asserted Mr. Benford. "Name your time and place." There was a longish halt for thought. Mr. Benford listened most attentively at the receiver. "Seven o'clock this evening," suggested the voice. "Outside the National Gallery." '' Right.'' sang out Mr. Benford. His wife, at the other end of tlio lino, closed down thc conversation nnd began to meditate on the 3teps she would take next, now tlin1 she had him within her grasp. For it is one thing to hook your fish nnd another thing to land him, particularly when he has had some practice iu breaking away. however, she could foresee his procedure prety clearly, He would arrive home early, state that he was going to see his aunt, and so arrange his alibi. Very well! She would wait outside the National Gallery, and, after observing him for a time, confront him. He would then have some difficulty in explaining why he was not at. Forest Hill,, as per programme. And the readiness with which be had allowed himself to be entrapped showed that he had not changed much. But he did not come home early. He came in at bis usual time, und sat down to dinner in the usual way. Mrs. Benford was completely perplexed. And over the joint he actually broached the subject which was secretly obsessing her. /'Funny thing happened yesterday and today," he observed. "Rung up on the 'phone—addressed by a woman's voice. Tried to make out 1 knew her. Rang me up .again today. Of course I scented a practical joke or something, and said I knew her. Tried to 'draw her.' Got her to lix up a dinner appointment for this, evening: Just as if 1 i.liould dream oi. keeping it!" he said virtuously. . "Perhaps it—it real!,- was an old friend," suggested Us Tj-ife. "No fear! It was a practical joke, right enough. And, even if it weren 't, 1 shouldn't take any more notice of it. Home is good enough for me!" Mrs. Benford beamed. And also she confessed her plot. Mr- Benford smiled gravely. "How you misunderstand me," he sighed gently. "I'll never suspect you agaiii," she declared, handsomely, and she meant it at the moment. And after dinner she fussed contritely over him, lighting his cigar for him, and finding him his. slippers and putting a cushion behind bis head. And presently their eleven-year-old daughter Hilda came in from a party, and begged to stay up a little longer. "Well, just for a few minutes," conceded her mother.' "And suppose you play over your new piece for father!" In ordinary circumstances the suggestion was one that Mr. Benford would have repelled with horror. For "new" was only a relative term, implying that the piece was the most recent she had tackled. She had been practising it for weeks past, and it was usually to the strains of it that Mr. Benford opened the front iiiur when he .came home from busims*. But tonight he was in high good humour, and though he knew every note of the composition he signified his willingness to endure it once more. Hilda sat down and played the piece. Mr. Benford nodded and smiled, and beat time to it with him crossed leg. Mrs. Benford was out of the room when the piece had jerked to its conclusion. And Mr. Benford was in one of those communicative moods when one must impart one's thoughts or suffer the agonies of repression. "You're getting on capitally with your music, Hilda," ho snid. "I'm glnd you give yourself plenty of practice. Do you know I beard you practising this morning when mamma rang me up on the telephone. Shot' must have left the drawing-room door j open."

I judge that it continued for five miles and that we rose sevenhundred feet. In places the road was bad; in two places at least it was extremely dangerous. The road gangs had put soft material on the surface 'of a clay-like nature which after rain would slip like "gumbo." However, I got over it and on reaching the summit was able to shut off! my engine and make most of the seven miles into Alberni on tbe "brake." What surprised me most, however, was to find that I had covered the distance in exactly one hour. 1 cannot leave this subject without it word of warning to amateur motorists who way come after. The road from Cameron Lake to Alberni is not, at any rate in its present condition, one for novices, At six twentyifive I was stretching my legs in the Somass Hotel, Port Alberni and of the comforts enjoyed here and the trips taken from this point I shall have something to say in a subsequent article. I cannot, however, close this without a Bword of praise for the little "Ford" car, so much despised by luxurious motorists who go sailing by in their Winton or Russell, but invariably "come back" when a steep grade is encountered. For an amateur who had no desire to make time and who carried two passengers and two hundred pounds of baggage, a running time of eight and a half hours from Victoria to Alberni, 144 miles, is not too bad, especially as I am convinced that through my lack of expertness as a driver I handicapped the engine. ■Sat" aaBBaa DEATH.

Each must travel his own path. Moreover, psychical research being a science, its results are not more certain than those of other sciences, Alternative theories in explanation of any phenomenon are always possible. There is no such thing as knock-down proof. But for my part I can say that I know,—in the same way that I know the truth bf Mendeletef 's law, for Avogadro's law; or Dalton's atomic theory—that human beings do not become extinct when they die, that they are often able to communicate -with its after that event, and that they are hot in any orthodox heaven or .hell. My knowledge is based chiefly on a lengthy and carefully conducted series of sittings which some intimate friends of mine have conducted with a medium known to me; partly on my own results with another remarkable psychic with whom I have experimented during seven years, and partly on various curious experiences of a psychic friend of mine who is in no sense a professional medium. (Details in my "New Evidences in Psychical Research," Rider, 1011. I now believe, with the Bishop of London, that a man is essentially the same five minutes after death as he was five minutes before. As the old woman says in "David Copperfleld," "death doesn't change us more than life"— no, nor as much!) The upshot is, of course, that' my spiritual fear of death has, I am thankful to say, almost vanished. The darkness of the future has become at least partially illuminated. It is not that I want assuring of "happiness" in a future state, as compensation for 'misery in this. I should be quite contented if I could be assured that death is annihilation. It would at least be a cessation of suffering; and that is much. I could agree with Keats:— Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Called him soft names in many a mused rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath. Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To eease upon the midnight with no . pain While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy. Still wonldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain— To thy high requiem become a sod! —"To the Nightingale." Easeful death—it is a good word. Keats knew disease, and was content with prospect of ease; though at the end there is a note of depression or despair at the thought of heooming a "sod," deaf and blind to beauty. This reminds us of the attitude of other poets towards this great problem. Tennyson is mildly optimistic and placid; stretches, indeed, somewhat lame hands of faith in his sorrowful moments when his friend has died, but on the whole is healthily disposed; friendly to the most cheerful way of looking at it; inclined, with true British burliness, to make the best of a bad job—a job which, after all, may not be so very bad when we come to closer quarters with it. Afar, death is the spectre feared of man; seen nearer, he may metamorphose into a beautiful Iris, sent by heavenly mercy to cut the lock. And, after* wards, tbe new spiritual state will probably be an improvement—Aeon- ian evolution through all the spheres.

M —— Victoria, BC July 12,1913 THE WEEK PsgeStvw A CONSULTING engineer of Detroit, U.S.A., has for some years been using a mixture of half petrol and half commercial or washed ether for engine starting purposes in cold weather. Writing to an American contemporary, he states that "the mixture is placed in an ordinary half-pint oilcan, with a cork over the spout when not in use. I squirt about a quarter ounce of the mixture into each priming cup, and have never known any motor to fail to start with one quarter turn of the handle, that is, one pull up. I have had the motor occasionally start on the spark even in very cold ' weather. I have had absolutely no bad effects from its use in any : way. Contrary to a popular impression, ether does not cause abnormally high pressure in the cylinders. The washed ether costs Is 6d per pint at wholesale druggists, and comes in sealed tin cans. Two pints will usually last me through the winter." We have tried the tip on a 102 x 130 mm. four-cylinder Wolse- ley with success. This engine has dual ignition and is quite an easy starter, but when it has stood for a few days in cold weather it requires a few turns of the starting handle before switching on. After it had stood for four days we put in each compression tap cup a few drops of the ether-petrol mixture and then switched on. The engine half fired on one cylinder, and then a single light upward pull of the handle started it at once. Repeating the same experiment with petrol only a couple of hours later two or three pulls were required to get a start. The easiest way to mix the ether and petrol is to buy four ounces of ether (methylated ether) at a chemist's in an eight ounce bottle, and then to fill it with petrol. It should be kept tightly corked. Perhaps some of our readers with stubborn engines fitted with magneto ignition alone will try the mixture and report on the result. It 8hould'be remembered the ether should be treated in much the same way as petrol, for it is very volatile, and its sickly odour, although not unpleasant, is overpowering to many, while its properties as an anaesthetic are, of course, well known.—The Autocar. HL. NICHOLSON, an experieno- • ed chauffeur from Vancouver, arrived in Quesnel recently with a carload of five passengers, en route to Fort Praser. The group included Mr. IK H. Salmon, managing director of the Dominion Stock and Bond Corporation, owners of the Fort Fraser townsite, Mr. Tompkins, superintendent of the Bank of Vancouver, Mr. A. Robinson, a retired capitalist of Vancouver who owns some 25,000 acres in that district,' and also has large holdings in the townsite, and Messrs. Pugh and C. Ross, of Vancouver, who will establish themselves in business there. The party left Ashcroft at 6 a.m. on a Friday, arriving at Quesnel at 9 p.m., and pulled out again for Fort Fraser at ten o'olook Saturday morning, reaching their destination at noon Sunday without serious mishap, although the road in, spots was pretty bad. Driver Nicholson left on the return trip Monday, reaching here Tuesday, and Thursday morning pulled out again for the townsite. It is his intention to keep the auto on this route all season, if the condition of the road will permit. In conversation with Mr. Salmon we learned that the government is to proceed immediately to put this road in shape for auto traffic.— Cariboo Observer. BESIDES giving to un nutomobile ii well-groomed appearance, seat covers add materially to the longevity of the upholstery. As a rule, factories do not include sent covers iu the equipment provded with a car, hut the demand for them is spreading rapidly and owners of cars nre appreciating the necessity of protecting thc line leather cushions and backs of their cars' seats from the ravages of dust, time and the elements. With ordinary usage, a good qualify upholstery should serve about two years; then it will begin to show the effects of wear, become frayed and shabby. Replacements are costly. That is why it is economy in the long run to have a car fitted with suitable sent covers when it is new, for these can be made'up at a nominal cost, and after a couple of years, if required, Ihey may be discarded and n fresh set substituted. By their use the leather upholstery and trimmings retain their original looks, nnd their serviceability is in no wise impaired. "Moreover, the sent covers are a step forward in sanitation. There are ho creases and pleats to harbor dirt, and germs, and, after a dusty journey a few sweeps of a whisk broom will remove every particle that might soil lily lady's gown or glove. In the electric type of vehicle sanitation is enr- ricd even further. Removable linen covers are in use that may be taken off and washed and slipped back n a jiffy- "It is impc 'ant that the seat covers and the dust hood for the top be made to fit smootly and snug, for if ill-fitting they detract materially from tlie appearance of a car." Hi TWENTY miles of new automobile road will be built in the Grand Forks riding this summer, and many men are employed upon improvements to the existing highway system in that district according to E. Spraggett, provincial road superintendent for that division. ON all ears having a rear axle secured to tapered shafts, care should be taken to see that the hubs are kept wedged up tightly on' the taper end of the axle shaft, by means of their locking nuts. Once a month the rear hub should be taken off and the looking nuts be moved up as snugly as possible without injuring tho threads. If this is not done, the hub will work loose on the shaft and by rubbing against the key, will certainly spread the key-way in comparatively short time.

Let us hate the black negation of the bier: And wish the dead, as happier than ourselves And higher, having climb'd one step beyond Our village miseries, might be borne in white To burial or to burning, hymned from hence With songs in praise of death, and crowned with flowers. No doubt Tennyson was to a very great extent able to stay himself on the personal mystic experiences described in his poem "The Ancient Sage"—experiences which gave him a subjective assurance that death was "a ludiorouB impossibility." Browning, characteristically buoyant, was ready to face death with a laugh; the fog in the throat will pass, the black minute's at end, then thy breast. In "Prospioe" we feel the eager sure- ness with which he looked forward to rejoining her whose bodily presence had left him a few months before. But even Browning's cheery salutation is outdone by Whitman. The American, though acquainted with suffering as Browning was not, and though apparently without much belief or interest in personal survival, was almost uncannily friendly to his own taking off. And it was not because he suffered so greatly that he hailed release. It was more the natural outcome of his joyous temperament, subdued at the last to a kind of solemn exaltation.; The following stanzes were written with George In- ness' picture "The Valley tof the Shadow of Death" in mind:— Nay, do not dream, designer dark, Thou hast protray'd or hit thy theme entire; I, hoverer of late by this dark valley, by its confines, having glimpses of it, Here enter lists with thee, claiming my right, to make « symbol, too. For I have seen many wounded soldiers die, After dread suffering—have seen their lives pass off with smiles,, And 1 have watch'd the death-hours of the old; and seen the infant die; The rich, with all his nurses and his doctors; And then the poor, in mengreness and poverty; And I myself for long, O Death, have breath'd my every breath Amid the nearness and the silent thought of thee. And out of these and thee, I make a scene, a song (not fear of thee, Nor gloom's ravines, nor bleak, nor dark—for I do not fear thee, Nor celebrate the struggle, or contortion, or hard-tied knot), Of the broad blessed light and perfect air, with meadows, rippling tides, and trees and flowers and grass, And the low hum of living breeze— and in the midst God's beautiful eternal right hand, Thee, holiest minister of Heaven— thee, envoy, usherer, guide at last of all, Rich, florid, loosener of the stricture- knot called life, Sweet, peaceful, welcome Death." This is indeed a change from the idea of Death as King of Terrors, as "spectre, feared, of man." ("In Memoriam.") The Greek idea, at its best, seems to have been halfway between the two extremes. It regarded death with more or less equanimity, as being certainly not the greatest evil—no king of terrors—but merely an emissary of greater Powers, to whose will we must bow, though with dignity:— "He that is a man in good earnest must not be so mean as to whine for life, and grasp intemperately at old age; let him leave this point to Providence." —(Plato: "Gorgias.") Sophocles has* the same thought, with an added touch of Hamlet-like irritation about the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune:— II, is a shame to crave long life, when troubles Allow a man no respite. What delight Bring days, one with another, setting us Forward or backward on our path to death? I would not take the fellow at a gift Who warms himself with unsubstantial hopes; But bravely to live on, or bravely end, Is due to gentle breeding. I have said.-("Ajax.")

ARMSTRONG GARAGE CORNER OP GORDON AND COURTENAY STREETS PHONE S7M "I look forward to my dissolution as to a secure haven, where I shall at length find a happy repose from the fatigues of a long voyage."— ("De Senectute.") And was it not Cato—fine old Stoic—who, finding his natural force abating, accepted the hint furnished by a stumble in the street, stooped and kissed the ground:— "Proserpine, I eomel" and went home, making a speedy end, unwilling to suffer the indignity of disease qui the shame of being served in weakness? Modern opinion wisely reprobates suicide, but there is something noble in the Roman attitude, condemn it as we will. As a modern and almost comic example of a modern Stoic's attitude to Ithis same question of death, we may cite the famous lines of Walter Savage Landor: — • I strove with none, for none was worth my strife, Nature I loved, and, next to Nature, Art,, ■ I warmed both hands before the fire of life, It sinks, and I am ready to depart. "Strove with none," indeed! As a matter of fact, Landor strove with everybody. He was one of the most quarrelsome men that ever lived. The only man who could tolerate him was Browning. But in his mellower moments at least, he was "ready to depart," quietly acquiescing in the scheme of things. To depart, note; not to be extinguished. And I think this view is, all things considered, the most sane and wholesome view of the great problem of Death. We did not begin to live when we were born in this present tenement of flesh; we shall not cease to live when we quit it. 'Tis but a tent for a night, an interlude, a descent into matter, a temporary incarnation for educative purposes, of the soul or a part of it, as it pursues its lone way towards the ineffable goal. This life is but a sleep and a forgetting: The soul that rises with us, our life's star. Has had elsewhere its setting, and cometh from afar.

Whether or not there will yet be aeems uncertain, but it is understood that a considerable number of the miners are opposed to a strike. There does not appear to be a similar feeling in either Eossland or Boundary eamps, or at leaBt nothing was heard during a recent visit suggestive of any serious interference with mining operations. On the Coast, the situation at the Britannia Company's camp is stated to be similar to what it has been ever since the company made up its full number of miners and helpers from non-union sources. 'In the coal mining districts matters are as usual, with the exception that the mines at and about Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, are still non-productive. Whether the operators will be able to resume production without first coming to an agreement with the United Mine Workers of America, which organization called the strike, is not yet clear; certainly they are endeavouring to make arrangements with a sufficient number of their employees to get things running again independently of the sanction of the union..

Mr. Hopkins, of the same period in 1912 by 126,624 who is well known locally, having been tons, and the mines and smelters of a principal in several deals in 1909, is said to represent Butte interests in the purchase of the two groups, on which the initial payment has been made. The Red Point group consists of three claims and is owned by Charles Swanson, Ola Evanson, R. L. Eik, Olc Pearson and Ernest Carlson. The Race Horse group, adjoining, consists of four claims, and is owned by Chas. Swanson and Alt Miner. Considerable prospecting has already been done, proving the existence of several leads measuring from four to forty feet in width. The ore is a chalcopyrite. From the Red Point showings assays) of from $2.50 to $11 have been obtained and from the Race Horse from a few dollars up to $53 in gold, silver, and copper. The news of the bonding has been received with considerable satisfaction at Stewart, as it points to the fact that capital for legitimate mining development is to be had, notwithstanding the apparent money stringency. Several prospectors are already interested up the Kitsault, and following this river the government is constructing a pack trail to the new camp, which now bids fair to attract considerable attention in mining circles. % WORK in the heading of the mam tunnel on the property of the Aufeas Gold Mines, Ltd., is proceeding very satisfactorily. The indications are that the ore body is close at hand, the whole face of the tunnel being heavily impregnated with iron oxides, and the calcite seams which appear at intervals in the face are filled with the mispickle ore. A sample of the ore taken from one of these calcite seams recently, upon assay, gave values of $48 dollars to the ton. As soon as the ore is struck in the tunnel the work of erecting the aerial tramway will be put in hand without delay, all the details for this work having been already settled. Altogether prospeets are very rosy, indeed, and there ean be very little doubt but that Hope will, before many weeks have passed be able to boast of having a working and paying mine in its immediate vicinity. Mr. H. V. Dardier, the President of the Company, will, as soon as ore is struck, leave for England to arrange the instalment of a plant at the mines to treat the ore on tbe spot, by which 90 per cent of the gold will be recovered in the form of bullion, and the concentrates containing the ten per cent of the gold not recovered on the amalgam plates and all the copper and silver will be shipped to Tacoma smelter for separation. Until this plant can be installed, however, the crude ore will be shipped in bulk to Tacoma for treatment. The tunnel on the property has now been driven for a distance of three hundred and forty feet. PRODUCTION of coal in Utah iu 1912 reached the record figure of 3,016,149 short tons, valued at $5,040,- 451, an increase, according to Edward W. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey, of 502,974 tons over the output for 1911. The coal fields of Utah are important, and are widely distributed over the state. The areas known to contain workable beds of eoal aggregate more than 8,000,000 acres, in addition to which therb are about 1,250,000 acres which may contain workable.

The speed and all-round polo ability of the loeal players showed up much superior to that of the visitors, who had the short end of a score of 11 to 3. The first two chukkas saw the visitors at their best, but the Victoria riders outstayed them, and the score kept mounting ns the game proceeded. Sir Richard MeBride, K.C.M.G., threw in the ball, and, in a few words spoken to the two assembled teams, he said that polo was a sport which he would like to see flourish in British Col- limbia. Dr. Richards, a veteran player, was easily the most effective of Ihe local quartette, and Irving was riding and playing very well also. McKeii- zie wns the chief scorer, he taking six of Victoria's goals, while Irving scored four. Kennington was the star for the visitors, and Gore-Lnngton and Gunn showed themselves to be steady players. The next match between these two teams will doubtless draw a very heavy attendance. Capt. R. P. Clarke, of the Viotoria team, who had the misfortune to break his leg as a result of a fall while at practice recently, is now well on the way to recovery, and is expected to take his place again shortly in the firing line. Si IT looks as though a number of perfectly good lacrosse players will shortly be pawning their sticks and going to work at some other employment, because of the tangle that lias resulted in the lacrosse world of British Columbia as a result of the action of the holders of the Minto Cup last Saturday in walking off the Held ut Vancouver because they could not induce the Vancouver team to play without the services of Mickey Ions and Griffith. The New Westminsters at a meeting of their own decided to suspend Ions and Griffiths on account . of the incipient riot which marred tho match between thc rival teams plnyed the previous Saturday at.Victoria—an exhibition of rowdyism already referred to in these columns. Con Jones refused to piny without the duo, nnd Tommy Gilford called his team off the Held. Four thousand Vnncouverites who gathered to see a game of lacrosse were disappointed. All they saw was a ball lobbed from stick to stick by the Vnneouver twelve until it wns lodged in the empty not, and Referee Fred Cullin awarded the mulch to Vnneouver by default. St According to some ideas, the New Westminster lacrosse players by their action fired the first gun of a battle to be begun to oust one Con Jones from professional lacrosse in this province. A meeting of the league was called at Victoria on Tuesday, when the report of the referee of tho Victoria game was filed. The referees stalo that Jones used most unbecoming language to them for penalizing his hired men for rough play. Jones, on the other hand, states that if New Westminster does not want to piny I with his team, he will organize another to take their place. Meanwhile I efforts are being made to induce Vic- j toria to put in a team for the balance of the season. Mr. John Virtne, owner of the Victoria franchise, it not will- I ing to interfere in the squabble; He I prefers to let the warring Vancouver I and Salmon Belly outfits fight out I their difficulties. Unless matters can I be straightened out this week, it looks I as if the lacrosse men may hang up I their sticks and go to work. » RB. Benjamin, manager of the touring Australian cricketers, I has written to Mr. Crawford Coates I of this city, statjng that the cricketers I from the land of the Southern Ci'obs I will reach Victoria at the beginning of I November, and will be open to a few I games in this city. Mr. CoateB is look- 1 ing after arrangements for the fortna- I tion of a team of twenty-two of the I younger cricketers of this looality to I meet the Australians on the local I grounds when they return here. The I visitors have not yet lost a match I during their tour, and Mr. Benjamin says that, as they are playing in excellent form, he does not regard it likely that they will. In the match at Philadelphia last Saturday and Monday between the tourists und a team chosen to represent the United States and Canada on the grounds of the German town Club, the Australians won by one wicket and 409 runs. W;' Bardsley scored 142 not out. The U. S. and Canada team scored 150, the highest score being that of H. A. Furness, who made 41. ' * ': In the local cricket matches last week some heavy scoring resulted. Cowichan defeated Oak Bay by a score of 175 to 148. The Garrison lost to Victoria A team by a score of 104 to 79. The Albion A'team beat he University School by a score of 229 for 5 wickets against .136. Saanich beat the Albion team by 171 to 103. A. C. B. Gray was the leading batsman of the week. He scored 130 not out in the match between the, Victoria AFTER a fine match young Eric MeCallum lost to Archibald in the finals for the club championship of the Victoria Lawn Tennis Club. By taking three of the five games Archibald won the Challoner-Mitchell cup. The play of the youth MeCallum, who fought his way to the finals in the tournament indicated that, with more practice, he will take a lot of beating. The score was 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, and 7-5. Miss Lawson, former champion of the Maritime Provinces, won in the ladies competition from Miss Schmitz, and with Miss, Bell she won in the doubles from Miss Somitz and Miss McDermott. Harrison and Dickson won the men's doubles from Garrett and Wheatly. Mr. Carr and Miss Potts won the mixed doubles from Hai-riBon and Miss McDermitt. Sf JOE Tyler, of Spokane, who is well and favorably known to local tennis players, has retained his title of Inland Empire tennis champion by but three scattered hits from his delivery, . Had he not eased up in the last innings when the Moose had piled up a lead of eleven, and thus let a lone tally in, he could, easily have had a shut-out. The Moose gave Jimmy excellent support, the stars being Ed Stelle and Bob Why te. JOE Bayley is now training hard for his return match with French Vnise, which is scheduled to take place at the Brighouse Arena on July 2(Hh. .When Bayley went up against the young lad from Ren ton-last month at the interurban battleground between Victoria and Steveston, he did not give due consideration to the ability of his rival and he is determined not to make the same mistake again. When Bayley goes into the ring on July 26th he will go in with a knowledge that he has in Vaise a rival well worthy, and will go in to win. The loss of his title is a hard blow to the young Victorian, and he expects to make a struggle to regain it. Thc fight fans of Port Angeles are not feeling very kindly toward Bayley because he refused to go on with Rothus at that town "on Jnly 4th. The audience failed to materialize, and the bout was therefore called off. A T this writing the reports from ■*"*■ the annual regatta of the N.P. A.A.O. at Indian River have not been received, but although the big four may have been weakened by the illness of Belden. the stroke, whose place is taken bvBlaney Scott, while Matt Scott has been taken from the junior doubles to fill the vacant place in the boat, it is anticipated that the J.B.A.A. crews will all give ii food account of themselves. The Bay oarsmen left here on Wednesday for the course to complete their training, and twenty of Victoria's best are and 9th. The preliminary heats in the various events are to be held two days previous to the final heats. All competitors are to be 'amateurs in good standing, and registration cards of the' A.A.U., of, C.A.A.U., of the United States, and Y.M.C.A. Athletic League will be recognized. It is proposed to give medals as prizes.

St RESPITE their busy operatic life, tlie Pollards find time during their stay in Viotoria for sports, and several baseball matches and a cricket game between the young singers who are entertaining Victorians for the nonce have taken place during the stay of the musical kiddies from Australia. On Tuesday they played a cricket match at the Jubilee hospital grounds, and on Thursday the baseball nine of the operatic troupe met a team from the North Ward Park. ■$. BRITISH newspapers are discussing the question of gambling by golf players on their matches, and the Daily News has interviewed John Bull on the subject. "I should think the majority of golfers have a ball on the result of a round," be said, "but I do not call that gambling. It is simply tantamount to 'paying for the cost of the table' at billiards. It is a common custom in all golf clubs. Of course, some golfers who fancy themselves may play a game for a large stake, bnt it certainly is not a general custom—at least not in northern clubs.

St THE Argonauts of Toronto ngnin made a good fight at Henley, but could not win from the Launders, The famous British eight won by n length nnd a quarter after a good rnco, the Toronto eight putting up such a good fight that the Leanders were forced to equal the record of 6 minutes 51 sees. made by the Launders in 1891 nnd New College in 1897. Butler of Toronto lost to Wise of England in the Diamond Sculls by two and a quarter lengths. defeating Phil Bruin of Spokane in three straight sels.

Si BASEBALL funs received u surprise early this week when the magnates of the Bees announced the Irnde of Mike Lynch, playing malinger of the local nine, for Cruni of Spokane. There must hnve been a purse of gold to boot to induce the local officials to mnke the swap. Offers are coming fast for the Kaiser, Kerr Kantlehner, nnd last week the Victoria management refused n goodly cash offer from one of the teams of the big circuit for the immediate delivery of the talented southpaw.

"1 quite agree thnt there are some people who con't enjoy a game of any description unless there is a bet on it, but I do not think this class is common among golfers.

That it is said that Con Jones has '^become domesticated, and is qualifying for a position as chef. . /-''.:■ ■•' ' * ' That he has started to make a name .for himself in this line by cooking his own goose. Sf ■:■■ ■'. That with "pay-as-yon-enter" cars in operation in one part of the city, rand "pay-when-you 're-asked "cars in another, the average passenger is apt ; to get confused. That if Chief Langley had not ; found his vocation in police work, he : would have made an admirable publicity agent. ' ~: That it is to be hoped that he did • hot let out that he had been obliged to pay for his official automobile. Sf. That it was interesting to learn ;that after prolonged investigation the /authorities have discovered how the inner harbour is polluted. Si That only a giant intellect could have solved the problem and found ont that it was because refuse was 'emptied into it. That the Week has pointed this out for many years, and urged that an embargo be placed on ships' scavengers using the harbour as a dumping place. Si That a Harbour Commission having power to act could forbid this total disregard of all the decencies. ,'. That the waters, of Victoria arm r»re dangerously full of floating logs. ' That some day a boat will be upset by them, and someone will be drowned, and then steps will be taken to keep the water clear—perhaps. Si That any action which will do away ; with the howling of the mob at the ■: C.P.R. wharf will be welcomed by the citizens. . * That hotel and livery stable touts, like poets, should be born—dumb. si That congratulations to Dr. S. F. . Tolmie, the president of the British 'Columbia Agricultural Association, Vara now in order. Si That his selection to serve on the :Iivestock Commission is a deservedly popular one. * ..That the V. &'■ 8. is to be turned j; ipto a real railway at last for carrying leople and things to different places.

That in another part of the city J the proud bird has to be relegated to Irhe cellar because of his early rising ■ habits. * ..That people who have never been 1 outside Victoria have had the advan- J tage this year of seeing what other ieit.es have to put up with in the way |,'of climate. Sf ■ That though this is doubtless a use- Lfid .^experiment, H iB an exceedingly | unpleasant one. .. That if the weather doesn't improve [soon, it won't much matter what they igive the men of the "New Zealand" I to drink, for their impression of our ladvertited charms will be bad en- |btigh anyway. .That the decision of the Council has tat any rate been a boon and a bless- Kng on one class of the community— I the letter writers. a That the "famous women" lists Lublished last Wednesday must have Iproved a oruel blow to the ghosts of I countless thousands. That most of the contributors seemed to "have it in" for-poor old Eve. Si That it would have been but a courteous acknowledgment of her services to the race to have included her in company with Lord Shaftesbury's nurse. S$ That a discussion of this nature would be so much more interesting if it were confined to living persons and localized. Sf That unfortunately the editor hns not yet been born who would give a casting vote in such circumstances. Sf That French's menagerie has received a clean bill of health, but the smaller animals are requested to be more careful in their personal habits. That the feelings of some of the larger animals were hurt by the pretentious sniffing of the inspecting committee. Si That it is possible that in the dim and distant future the Saanich Council will "get one on" French, but it is not probable. Sf That grave fears are being expressed lest the licensing of the plumbers may increase the cost of ing. Sf That now is the time to inquire why it is that the plumber is always featured as the comic artisiin. Sf That no one ever ventured to make a joke about a carpenter or a blacksmith, but the plumber runs second only to the mother-in-law as a popular favourite in the comic papers. That he who laughs last laughs longest, and perhaps this accounts for the high price of plumbing. Sf That the Saanich Council set Victoria City Fathers a good example by inaugurating a campaign against thistles on the roadside. Sf That the pithy remarks of Mr. F. Emory Lyon anent our local police station and jail quarters should not be without due effect. Sf That it is not often that we get the truth straight from the shoulder nnd when we do, it should do us good. Sf That we are so accustomed to hearing all the conventional twaddle about people to realize that Victoria has itB must be somewhat of a shook to some people to eralize that Victoria has its defects.

ZETLAND TEA BOOMS PRINCESS THEATRE WAY Down East" will be the attraction next week at the Princess Theatre, and as it is a rural comedy drama, it will be sure to meet with success. This is the play that Penman Thompson, the well known character comedian, starred in for so many years. The story is laid in a little gossiping village in the East, and the types of people in that locality are portrayed with extreme fidelity. The plot is well defined, and there is a splendid vein of comedy running nil through the show. The Williams Players are noted for their excellent conception of rural comedy. Mr. Thomas Sullivan, who is n noted eoast actor, will be seen in a prominent heavy. Miss Hilda Graham, another new addition to the company, will also be seen to advantage, and the rest of the cast have fine parts, especially Miss Page. Last week "Tho Girl in tho Taxi" played to capacity business every night, and pleased immensely. JULY MAGAZINES THE July number of the "De Luxe" magazine hos just reached the reviewing table, and proves to be an issue well worthy of its title. The outstanding feature of this edition is a first-class panoramic view of the City of Victoria, which includes all the principal buildings, together with the harbour and main thoroughfares of the city. This supplement is a work of art in itself, and should prove a most welcome addendum to any library table. In addition to a comprehensive review Of thc society doings tn the three cities of Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle the "De Luxe" for July is notable for the number of first-clnss illustrations of lending society ladies, including Mrs. F. 8. Barnard, Miss Gladys Pitts, MisB Brownie Bodwell, Mrs. J. S. Bowker, Miss Bury, Mrs. Charles Gore nnd Miss Gladys Gray. The magazine contains its usual feature articles and includes several pictures of sporting events in and around Viotoria. LATE SOCIETY NEWS ON Wednesday, June 25th, St. James Church was the scene of a very pretty wedding when Rev. J. H. Sweet united in the holy bonds of matrimony Earl Jefferson, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Davis, of Simcoe Street, and Lucy, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David D. England, of 312 St. James Street, James Bay. The bride looked lovely as she entered the sacred building leaning on her father's arm, wearing a beautiful gown of soft cream satin with paniers of brocade outlined with guipure lace, the skirt en train with which was worn the orthodox veil and orange blossoms; her only ornament being a pearl sunburst, the gift of the groom. She earned a shower bouquet of cream bridal roses with maidenhair and asparagus fern. Her maid of honor, Miss Emilie Dutot, looked charming in pale blue marquisette over satin with trimmings of white guipure lace and panned velvet with a black picture hat trini- med with ostrich plumes and black velvet streamers caught with rosebuds, while she carried a. sheaf of white carnations. The bridesmaid, Miss Dorothy Davis, sister of the groom, looked dainty in pink marquisette, draped over pink satin with black picture hat trimmed with pink roses and chiffon, with streamers of black velvet ribbon caught with rosebuds and carried a sheaf of pink carnations. Little Miss Eleanor Jessie, niece of the groom, made a very pretty flower girl dressed in oream marquisette with sash of satin and pale blue bonnet trimmed with pink rosebuds anil carried a gilt basket of white roses and fern from which she scattered petals as the bridal couple walked down the aisle to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, Mr, James Moss acted as best man'and the ushers were Messrs. V. Meston and E, G. Rowe- bottom. The church had been beautifully decorated by friends of the bride with palms and roses. A reception was afterwards held nt the home of the bride's parents, when the happy couple reeeived their many friends under d hell of white roses. Mr. and Mrs. Davis left town on the midnight boat for Portland, the bride travelling in a grey tailor made suit with pink hat with white aigrettes, pink rosebuds and tulle. On their return they will reside in their new bungalow on Orillia Street, the Gorge. The presents received were both handsome and numerous. Sf On Tuesday afternoon last, Miss Millie Carr was at home to her many friends nt her charming studio on Simcoe Street. During the afternoon a dainty tea was served. Among the guests were: Mrs. D. R.

Many a woman the reverse of vain often wishes for an opportunity for using her vanity box between shops and for such the newly opened Zetland Tea-rooms, 647 Fort Street, will prove a boon,, as, special arrangements have been made to fit up a room for the use of ladies spending an afternoon down town. This, however, is but a side issue, as the "Zetland" bids fair to be one of the most popular of the many tea-rooms in town. They will be open every night till 9.30, which will doubtless he a great convenience to those who are in the habit of dropping into one of the moving-picture shows in the early part of the evening. OBITUARY WE regret to announce the death of Mr. Thomas G. Procter of this eity who was killed by an automobile on Oak Bay Avenue on Wednesday night. The late Mr. Procter was one of the best known mining men in the Province. He was born in Lancashire on September 12, 1862, and as a lad of 19 he emigrated to the middle states, and was engaged in the raising and export of .cattle for some years. In 1891 he moved to British Columbia, and turned attention to prospecting and mining, and at the same time saw. the future before the Kootenay country as a fruit growing and agricultural district. He was the first to purchase land and establish a fruit farm in the Kootenays. At the mouth of Kootenay Lake" he v laid the foundations of the town of Procter, and built a hotel there which has long been a summer resort in that part of the country. Later on he became the manager of. the Kootenay Valleys Company, which had holdings to the extent of thirty thousand acres in the district, and he was largely instrumental in settling people on these, especially from the Old Land. For several years he conducted a real estate business in Nelson, and also continued his mining interests. In the latter connection' he opened up the Blairmore eoal mines and afterwards sold the property for a large sum. Three years ago Mr. Procter oame to Victoria, where he had heavy real estate holdings, not only in the. city but in the surrounding district, and he retained his interest in mining matters. In 1888 Mr. Procter married Miss Beatrice Arrowsmith, who also oame from Lancashire. He was a prominent Mason and a Son of England. He had a very wide circle of friends and as an authority on mining in British Columbia and Alberta he had no superiors.

He had no counsel, and when the Judge asked him If he wanted a lawyer assigned to defend him he deolared that he did not. „ "But you are entitled to a lawyer," the court explained, "and you might as well have the benefit of his services." "Yoah Honour would Job' gimme some cheap white trash lawyer," the old darkey replied, "and he wouldn't do me no good.
