The Week A British Columbia Newspaper and Review. ol. XI, No. 35-Eleventh Year Victoria, B.C., Canada, Oct. 25, 1913 Naval Defence "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 UNIT ON THE PACIFIC COAST." Oriental Immigration A NUMBER of Western papers, both American and Cnnndinn, A featured a despatch from London purporting to give the -■*• siilistnnce of nn interview with Sir Richnrd MeBride nnd to nto with grent circumstantiality certain incidents nlleged to hnve •urred whilst he wns in London, nssoeiated more particularly with ! question of Oriental immigration into Canada. The Colonist 1 not publish this despatch. The Colonist was wise. Commenting the subject last week, The Week pointed out the impossibility of • Richard hnving adopted the course attributed to him. He wns eged to have practically held a club over Sir Edward Grey nnd to ye demnnded thnt both the Imperial nnd Dominion Governments mid lino up with the policy of British Columbin in favour of nbso- ! exclusion of the Asintic. Snch despatches nre invnrinbly liianu- stured, nnd anyone who knows Sir Richard must have known thnt, wever strongly nnd emphatically he mny hnve explained to Sir Iwnrtl Grey the attitude of his native Province on this important oject, he hns certainly never flouted either Government or presuin- to do more than mnke clear the wishes of his own constituents. The lonist has been fully justified in the course it pursued, that of wring the despatch. It is all very well to print a piece of "yellow" Ws today in order to contradict it tomorrow, but the action nnd the licy of n Provincial Premier nre matters of too much importance to trifled with in this manner. The Colonist did much better; it sent pecial emissary to New York to waylay Sir Richard at the moment his landing nnd wns nble on Thursday morning to give a very eresting report of an interview in which the Premier mnde it nr thnt lie had conferred with Mr. Borden nt Ottnwn nnd with Sir Iwnrd Grey in London; thnt he had explained the attitude of itish Columbin, which was that of absolute firmness in its stand linst Asiatic immigration; that he did not propose to introduce any islation of nn offensive kind, nor wns it his intention to tlo any- ng which would complicate Imperial negotiations; thnt he bud lit with Ibt' subject purely from n locnl or domestic standpoint. lis must be regarded ns eminently sntisfactory, especially ns Sir churd expressed the opinion thnt both in Ottawa nnd iu London subject was better understood than before, ns n result of bis ex- uiatiuiis. There is little doubt the outcome will he that at the next sion of the Provincial Legislature the House will unanimously ss n measure on the lines of the Natal Act and it will then become •iimbenl upon .Mr. Borden, as it was upon Sir Wilfrid Laurier, to nl with the mntter from a National standpoint. If Sir Richard won Mr. Borden over to his way of thinking and the local legis- ion is endorsed at Ottnwn, it will become a mntter for the Foreign fice to deal with and by that time it will have passed out of the nils of those who nre mainly concerned with the protection nf local crests. Whilst British Columbin is n unit in its opposition to this ss of immigration and while there is no question that its views will nain unaltered, it must not be forgotten thnt there are other and >ader considerations which demand that the subject be dealt with nn intelligent manner and with the utmost delicacy. Some of ise reasons were made apparent in the admirable address delivered the Hon. G. E. Foster nt Ottnwn nnd reviewed in the Inst issue The Week. Others will occur to the mind of nny mnn who Conors this question in its broadest features nnd with due regard to far-reaching and vital interests both of the Dominion nnd the npire with which it is inextrienbly interwoven. The Islands Constituency T IS not long since the Liberal press wns in high glee nbout a supposed split in the Conservative party in the Islands division. But nfter the organization meeting held at Gnnges Harbour on ednesday Inst it will have to pipe to another time. It has been pulnrly supposed that the Premier is n past-master in the art of .nothing politcnl differences and reconciling disaffected partisans, begins, however, to look ns if his mantle has fallen on the should- : of the Acting Premier, for however ominous the rumblings of dis- itcnt which reached headquarters during the Inst few weeks, the jlomacy of Mr. Bowser seems to hnve cleared them nll nwny, nnd he t Ganges with n complete organization, a satisfactory representn- m nnd n pledge from nll the contending factions to support the nominee of the convention. Nothing more could he asked. It is now for the ten or a dozen men who are anxious to fill thc shoes of the lnte member to either settle their differences or fight them out in the convention. One thing is certain, thnt when the convention has spoken lliere will be a united party behind its nominee. Probably nothing contributed more certainly to this happy and desirable result than the unequivocal assurance of Mr. Bowser thnt the Government hud no nominee nnd no favourite; thnt it would under no circumstances indicate its approval or disapproval of any candidate; that its sole business was to accept the nominee of the convention, and thnt it would do so. This declnrntion will deprive several ambitious gentlemen of their stock in trade. It clears the nir nnd lenves this election where it properly belongs—to the constituency. The Islands hns always been represented by a man of note nnd influence. Its latest member is now a Justice of the Appeal Court and its preceding member the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province. No doubt the electors will bear Ihis in mind when looking for a successor. There is not a more highly educated, intelligent constituency in British Columbia thnn the Islands; there is no constituency more entitled to n weighty voice in its legislative councils; there is no constituency which has evinced so keen nn interest in nnd so proficient n knowledge of problems of nn Imperial character. It is inconceivable thaf such a constituency should be satisfied with n representative of any but the highest type, one well reflecting its own standard of public thought and attainment nnd one well nble to maintain its legitimate influence in the House. AVhen the fight is over Tbe Week hopes to be able to congratulate the Islands constituency on having elected ns successor to its ninny illus- triius representatives a member of this type. The Cabinet Vacancy FROM a well-informed quarter The Week hears that in the shuffling of the Cnbinet cards necessitated hy the elevation of the Hon. A. E. McPhillips to the Judiciary, thc fortunes of the junior member for Vietorin mny not, be unaffected. Of course, all such matters arc entirely in thc hands of the Premier and nothing definite can be known until liis return, hut it would be highly gratifying if the rumour should prove correct and if Mi'. It. B. Thomson should secure a position for which he is in every sense well qualified. For several years Mr. Thomson has been marked as one of the coming men of the party; he is regarded as a sound business innn of sober judgment, nnd bus proved himself to he n good organizer, lie has lnid the people of Vietorin under n considerable obligation by the energy which ho hns shown in urging the execution of public works in connection with our harbour and railways, nnd has ably seconded our Federal representative in all his efforts in that direction. Mr. Thomson has been identified with the business interests of this Province for more than twenty yenrs; he is nt the bend of one of our most important trading institutions and if such an appointment should be made there is no doubt that it would meet with popular approval nnil would materially strengthen the Government. Canadian Theatricals WHEN Sir Johnstone Forbes Robertson was here nearly two yenrs ngo he stnted in an address lo the Canadian Club that the time wns not fnr distant when instead of being entirely dependent on inferior American companies Canada would de- iiinnd the best talent available nnd would be visited by English companies recruited in London. A few years ago such a suggestion would have lieen scouted as impracticable, but things are moving rapidly in Canada and judging from a communication which The Week has just received from "London Stage" it is within reach of being realized. A number of the richest men in the Dominion, including Sir William Mackenzie, Sir Donald .Mann, Sir William Whyte, Sir Daniel Maemilian and Sir Montague Allan are forming n company for the purpose of building first-class thontres throughout lhe Dominion. Four of these, ench with u sealing capacity of 3,000 are to be completed next year in Montreal, Winnipeg, Toronto and Vancouver, nud Sir Herbert Tree bus practically consented to bring out bis company and give the opening performance iu each of these. This is a project which Canadians will hail willi delight. We have been afflicted far too long with the vagaries of American companies of low type, with little or no histrionic ability or dramatic training; companies which, as was well pointed out by The Colonist ibis week, have never learnt to speak the English language, nnd mutilate it lo such an extent that it is often impossible lo bear whnt is said or lo gather what is meant. An eminent thentrical authority, Air. Williams Holies, says that "it would be difficult lo exaggerate the wide-spread desire that there is in the Dominion to he rid of the domination of the American stage." He goes on to say! "Canadians are tired and even resentful of the many wnr dramas which we receive from Ihe United States and which nre anything but complimentary lo our National pride. The Americanization of lhe stage is against public sentiment in Canada," It begins to look as if already lbe prophecy of lbe great English actor-manager is ripe for fulfilment. Each year brings us an increased number nf English companies, in spile of the disadvantages under which they have to perform; bul wilh a strong finnneinl organization to back them nnd the provision of n number of independent bouses of modern type, there is no reason why Canndn should not soon enjoy the best English plnys portrayed by the besl English actors and actresses. A Public Market THERE are public markets nud public mnrkets, Presumably the kind of public market which The Colonist has in mind when strongly advocating tho establishing of such n convenience in its Thursday's issue wns one instituted nml managed 5c. a copy, $2.00 a year either by the city, or by some persons who were not looking to make a gain out of the organization but simply to furnish the means of free exchange between producer and consumer. This is a project which has been advocated by The Week for years and one the growing necessity of which increases daily. No doubt it is the high cost of living which has brought the subject to a head. In Eastern Canada the open public market is common everywhere and the result is that nll innn produce is comparatively cheap. In the West the public market is the exception, although, wherever it has been established, the result has been satisfactory. The main object of the public market is to eliminate the middleman, and it -would be easy to cite a thousand reasons why he should be eliminated, at any rate so far as this spe-. eial line of business is concerned. It is a sound axiom of political economy thnt wherever conditions mnke it possible for the producer lo sell direct to the consumer, it is most economical for him to do so. Since the axiom has never been disputed and all experience tends to confirm its accuracy, it is no longer a subject for debate. But everything depends on the circumstances of a particular case. For instance, the public market in Seattle and the one in New Westminster thrive because there is a large cultivated country near nt hand which furnishes constant supplies of farming produce and garden truck. At the present moment there is no such country contiguous to A'ictoria, and it is not at all certain thnt there is sufficient produce to effect nny practical revolution in the price of such commodities as are usually sold in the open. A glance round the smnll market which has been running in A'ictoria for the last month or two, and which is well conducted as fnr ns circumstances permit, will show that n very lnrge percentage of tlie goods on sale nre imported from the States, nnd if there is not sufficient locnl produce to keep n smnll market like this going, whnt would happen in the ease of a large public market? The Week is in entire sympathy with the iden nnd will be plensed to support The Colonist in any practical steps it mny tnke in this direction, hut the matter requires careful consideration nnd it would only he to give a black eye to public markets to launch out into an ambitions scheme before ascertaining whether sufficient produce would be forthcoming to justify the attempt. The Cost of Living THE COST of living is the burning question of the moment; everyone admits that it is too high nnd most people know that it is artificially stimulnted. Of the fifty-one per cent increase in the cost of living in Canada during the last decade it is probable that twenty-five per cent is due to general economic conditions and that tbe other twenty-six is due to the arbitrary and unjustifiable notion of people who fix retail prices to suit themselves. The more lhe public can he shown bow they are being robbed, the greater thc probability that they will co-operate iu nny rational scheme for remedying the present state of affairs. In ils interesting editorial of Thursday Inst dealing with the subject of a public market, The Colonist cited several interesting instances of an abnormal difference between the price paid by tbe consumer and that received by the producer. The Week will supplement this with a few more. During the present summer lamb has ranged from 50 to 7,1 cents per pound in Victoria, but nt no time bus the farmer received more than 25 cents a pound, dressed. Latterly with lamb ranging from 35 to 50 cents per pound, the farmer hns received not more thnn 20 cents, nnd in ninny enses only 15. Recently a lnrge meal firm in town began to sell fish; one of the lending fishmongers, considering that Ibis was nn unfair infringement of bis privilege, retaliated by selling lamb. The result is Ihnl vou can today buy ns much hinili as you waul for 25 ceuls per pound. The farmer receives just as much from tbe fishmonger who sells it for 25 cents as he did from the butcher who sold it for 75. The incident shows ilmi the consumer is u mere football in the game. Take another instance, Plums nre selling in Vietorin this week ul 15 cents per pound. These are the ordinary prune plums mp much in evidence at this time of the year. The grower is receiving an average of nol mure Hum four cents ii pound: in many instances only two ceuls. And there nre scores of these plums not being gathered because they will not pay for lbe picking. A drive round Gordon Head, our best local fruit district, will reveal the fact llml many tons of apples are being allowed lo ml on the ground. The reason is that the stores in town will nol pay enough to make it worth while packing tlieni, but tbe windows are full of imported .American apples, selling al $2 and $2.50 n box. One more illustration of how lhe middleman enn injure both consumer and producer, During lbe presenl summer n certain locnl firm having enormous ramifications has flooded the niarkel wilh "strictly fresh farm eggs." These eggs were pul on the market at from 35 to 40 cents per dozen, when the local price for local fresh eggs wns 50 cents, Subsequently they were reduced to 'Ul ceuls. The effect wns two-fold. First tho consumer got his eggs about ten cents n dozen cheaper and thonghl be wns doing a fine stroke of business until he realized thnt Ihey were not "strictly fresh," nnd that in any event the flavour wns peculiar. Later on it developed thai Ihey bad been imported from China I nn enormous contract hnving been mnde covering lbe whole senson nt 25 ceuls delivered in Victoria nud Vnneouver. For ihose who like "fresh" eggs imported from China this may be all right, lint note the effect on the local industry, which bad ils market almosl wiped out nl the best season of the yenr because of Ibis wholesale importation of nn inferior article. It begins In look as if the only way In make sure of a fresh egg is lo watch the hen lay il. or nt nny rate lo bring the purchaser into personal touch with lbe owner of the hen. And Ibis is lbe principle which applies to more thnn eggs.

The only deterrent is the 'erne modesty nf the secretary, Ernest Crofton, who is alto- ier too retiring for n man who in ideal secretary nnd who has e more lhan anyone else to keep e the interest and develop tbe J-k of the Navy League on lbe lind. He refuses to accept any iimrs and deprecates nny acknowl- 'tnent. Seven yenrs ago be wns ired the presidency, but declined, almost implores one to leave him nf the count, but that is impos- le. Even at the risk of offending i, I nm bound to sny that he de- ves, as I am sure he receives, the |pect and admiration of everyone e Island. His services to the League have been lengthy, portent and invaluable, and the high- honours at Ihe disposal of the igue will yet be his. Tbe brief lech which he delivered nn Monday was n model of conciseness and Last time I visited Salt Spring 1 ventured beyond the limits assigned by my mission nnd talked of the Island, its people and its development. I believe my remarks were resented in certain quarters, so this time I must he more careful. The Island has shared iu the general prosperity in which British Columbin has .recently rejoiced. It now has a lirst- clnss hotel, a bank, a lnrge general store in addition to the old established business of the Mouatts, which does business under the title of lhe Islnnd Trailing Company. The population has increased substantially and many new and beautiful residences are to be seen on the hill- aside. Perhaps, however, the mnst practical evidence nf progress is in the excellent transportation facilities now afforded. The "Joan" calls daily; the "Enilda," the beautiful ■little steamship which wus originally acquired for the purposes of the West Const Development Company, now runs on alternate days from Deep Cove to (lunges Harbour, making connection with the interurban service of lhc B. ('. 10. It. Altogether Ihere is no difficulty in travelling between Suit Spring nnil Vietorin. The trip enn be made daily in any time from three and a half to five hours, according to the choice of conveyance. Incidentally, I want to conclude this article with a reference to n man who performed a difficult duty on Tuesday night in uu exceptionally able maimer. I have never seen him excepl through a fog, but I know his namo because I snw it un tbe boat. I take ulf my hat tn Capt. Orinislnn of the "Joan," who piloted bis hunt .into the Inner Hnrbour through the heaviest bank of fog I have seen in .many years, and in it manner which 1 am sure would hnve rendered nny pilol envious. Although the fog wns so dense ns to be impenetrable, be rounded Brotchie Ledge, bended for lhe channel lying between lbe Outer Wharf nnd Macaulay Point, swung round unlit he finally passed within six feel of the spur which murks lhe channel a little wny southwest of lbe Chemical Works nml without the slightest fullering' literally fell bis way inlo lhe berth nt the Belleville SI reel dock. All this time he wns surrounded by whistles nnd fug burns; close behind us wns the "Princess Charlotte," tooling nnd screaming, but never getting abend uf the "Joan" nnd Anally taking refuge nt lhe Outer Whalf while the "Joan" was being safely brought into pnrt. I know that il wns an excellent piece nf seamanship and nnc which slumps Cnpt. Onniston as an oxcodingly competent master. Some people are nervous in a fug and une hns to be plunged inlu it fog bank to realize how eerie is the sensation which it produces, hut there is always an element uf inleresl iu lbe curiosity excited ns to one's actual whereabouts and the satisfaction that arises from solving a difficult problem, The passengers un the "Joan" had this experience nl lhe eusl of half an hour's .delay when it looked us if Ihey might be kept outside for hours. BEN JONSON, in one of bis splendid tributes to his rival, refers te Shakespeare as "gentle.' And it is demonstratively true, in the modern ns well as the older sense. Whether he lakes an already-existent narrative as basis for a play—ns he generally dues, for "The Tempest" is al nt sl the only une for wbich nn su'rce has hecn found—ho invariably modifies any coarseness or bloodiness which il contains. He was gentle- naliired, though nol lucking in mns- ciiliiiily. His heart sympathised witb nil suffering ones, and be could nut bear to see suffering tun vividly depicted un the stage. And this applies particularly tn the time when he wrote "As You Like It.' He had finished tlie grent series nf the His- torical plays, nnd hnd not yet ranched the peril d of personal gloom and depiesion which gnve us the mighty tragedies. He wns thirty-six yenrs of age, happy nnd prosperous. It is natural tu lind him writing a play nver which he could unbend his mind —a sportive yet nnt boisterous play, breathing quiet gaiety nnd tempered joy. It is the play in which Shakespeare is most "gentle," for no one suffers much in it; no one is particularly strenuous or excited; we can read it at ense, lounging in our armchair, without stir nf pulse, even in its most vigorous incidents. And it is of all the plays the one which makes us feel most out-of-doores. The Forest uf Arden is the scene, nnd hardly nny of the action passes within four walls. A Duke, of nowhere iu particular, bus banished his brother and usurped his power. The banished une takes to the wildwood with devoted followers, and there lives jelly and contented. His daughter liosnlind remains al court ns companion to thc usurper's daughter Celia, but is, later on, banished ills i, and takes to the same Forest of Arden, dressed us u buy, with Celia, who will nut Inse her friend, Two suns of Sir Rowland dt Boys. Oliver and Orlando, lhc latter already in love with Rosalind, are also compelled lu lake In tbe wnnds, and after enmity nt court owing tu Oliver's bad treatment uf his younger brother, are reconciled iu lbe Forest of Anion. (The real "Ar- denties" wns uf course in France, but Shakespeare's "Arden" is bis native Warwickshire, as the description shuws.) Orlando meets Rosalind,but docs not recognise her in her disguise, nnd is much plagued by her about being in love. Oliver arrives, nnd falls in hive with Celia, Oilier minor characters are woven iu—Phne- bo, Audrey, Silvius, ele.—unit finally the rightful Duke is restored, nud everybody gels married and lives happily ever after. The pint wns taken from Thomas Lodge's "Rosalynde," published in 1500; though probably Shakespeare had read another book, the "(Inmc- lyn," n fourteenth-century romance which hnil supplied Chaucer wilh tlie "Cook's" story in bis Canterbury Tales." There is snme reason to think Ihnl Shakespeare wrote Ihe play in a bury, tu meet some sudden theatre-need; fur it evidently was nut. carefully revised. Tu mention only one indication of this—and there are several—Celia is described (Aet I, Sec. 21 as I tiler lhan Rosalind, while iu lhe next scenl lhe opposite is implied, Rosalind devilling In masquerade us lbe buy, being "mure than common lull." Detail "As Ven Like It" is hardly a 1'i.ii'cdy ul' realistic incident, fur the win le thing is fantastic, li is rather au assemblage uf character studies, and we nre much more interested in what tbe people sny thnn in what they do. Tbe incidents are quite incredible. A banished Duke is nut usually allowed lo live wil bin a few miles uf bis former court. Rosalinds would not be unrecognized by real Orlandos, even though in doublet and hose; still less Celia, whose only disguise wns nn umbered fnce. Linn- esses dn nnt exist in Warwickshire forests of Arden, even if stags nnd sheep do; nor do shepherds and shepherdesses carry on their love-making iu such splendid blank verse as that of Silvius nnd Phoebe. In short, Shakespeare makes no attempt here ut realism. The whole think is a joke,—save for une character. Shakespeare al thirty-six was tun serious it mnn to write a play which was joke and nothing mure. Therefore he introduced the "melancholy Jaqties," —the meditative philosopher who wns almost a trial-sketch for the Hamlet of two yenrs Inter. In both, it is probable that the real Shakespeare speaks; perhaps even more in Jaques than Hamlet, fur the former is meditative only—a looker-on and commentator, ns Hazlitt says, like the author—while Hamlet has experiences nf murderiiigs nnd ghost-seeing which differentiate him from his creator. Jaques has been very variously interpreted. That great Shakespearian scholar, lbe bile Professor Dowden, considered bim a self-indulgent, sentimental fellow; an egoist, an amateur taster of all suits of experience. Aud truly snme of his speeches may he quoled in support of such a view, fur (here is a good denl of anaemia in them. But Shakespeare, as if to warn us against misunderstanding, puts a line into lhe Duke's mouth about Jaques' former libertinism, tu indicate that he is red-blooded enough, but has now learned sense,— as we say. And, hnving sn learned, he is wishful to teach the world wisdom ;— ". . . give me leave To speak my mind, and I will through and through, Cleanse llie foul body of the infected world, If Ihey will patiently receive my medicine." But he knows lhat lbe world does nut want to be preached at. It wants lo be amused. Therefore he asks tn he pul iu lhe motley of n fool, that be may gild the pill uf bis preaching. Surely Shakespeare wns thinking uf himself, who preached such tremen- d ui sermons lu tlie world, disguised in his various characters, nnd often as lhe funl uf n piny, ns in "Lear." One uf Jnqi.es' must effective speeche3 is the one reported by the (Continued on Page Five) Hotel Washington Annex Headquarter* for tho Autoinobllt Trade EUROPEAN FLAN I.oi-tiI(-.1 nt the corner or Second Avenue anil Stewart Street.

AS YOU LIKE IT By J. Arthur Hill THE DICKENS' CLUB On Wednesday night the second open meeting of the Dickens' Club was held at tlie King's Daughters' West Room on Courtney Street, when Mr. J, Francis Bursill gave nn illustrated lecture on "The Loudon of Dickens nnd the London of Todny."

The next is scheduled for Wednesday, November 10th, when the Rev. ,1. I?. Wurnicker will he the speaker of the evening. The receipts from these lectures nre devoted to charitable purposes, the proceeds from the last be- ing shared between the Collongwnod Library, nf which Mr. Bursill is n nitron, nnd the King's Daughters' Rest Room.

I: C ItOBT A RENWICK. Dnled Vieln R.C., ihi- Page Eight THE WEEK Victoria, B.C., October 25 (Continued from Front Pnge) a New Montreal Daily IX M0.NT11EAL the newspaper situation at the present moment presents many interesting features, but with one of the heaviest law suits on record pending, it would be indelicate to discuss thc attitude of Sir Hugh Graham towards certain newspaper competitors. The feature which interests tbe public is that tbe man who for a quarter of a century has posed as a Conservative and who has at times presumed to dictate the policy of the party, to say nothing of starting a Cabinet-building boom, has recently come out in his true colours and hy seeking to corral practically all the newspapers of Montreal and to run Liberal organs as well as Conservative, has shown that, whatever other traits may distinguish him, he is neither troubled with principles nor scruples. That Sir Hugh Graham should own and control at one and the same time Tbe Star and a paper edited by the Hon. W. S. Fielding requires no comment. It is just one of '*life's little ironies." This does, however, furnish The Week with an opportunity to congratulate Messrs. Nichols and McKab on having started a most excellent daily Conservative paper in direct opposition to The Star. It is unnecessary to speak of the personality of either of these men. They have been identified with the newspaper world for many years. No men are better posted on public affairs or better acquainted with the public men of both parties. Their new paper, while yet in the early stages and subject to a little pruning and trimming, is a remarkably fine venture under all the circumstances. It covers a lot of ground; it presents more special departments than possibly any other daily paper in Canada. It is strong on the literary and dramatic sides. Its Sport and Finance columns compare favourably with those of its powerful competitor, and so far its editorials are written in a reasonable and convincing manner. There is an absence of rancour and extreme partisanship. AVith a little experience of their clientele The Week believes that Messrs. Nichols and McNab will be able to gauge the public requirements to a nicety, and to develop thc Daily Mail into a strong and influential organ, a success which they richly deserve both for their courage and the services they have rendered to Conservatism. Unwonted Generosity MESSRS. MUNN & CO., Incorporated, of 301 Broadway, New York, (having no connection with our highly respected citizen of the same name), must be gifted with a very large share of that strictly American characteristic denominated "gall." They are flooding Western newspaper offices with what they call a "generous offer," viz., to furnish weekly for tho period of a year a copy of "The Scientific American" in exchange for three inches single column of advertising space. Advertising rates vary, but the minimum charge of The Week for such space would be not less than $2 per issue, or in round figures, $100 per year. Now the annual subscription to "The Scientific American" is $3.75 including postage, so, to put the matter plainly, what Messrs. Murm & Co. ask is for $100 worth of advertising for $3.75, and they do not even propose to pay cash for that, but to supply "The Scientific American." All that The AVeek has to say to this generous offer is that like the late American Tariff, it is too scientific to be of any use, except to Americans, and that if they will refer to Funk & Wagnell's latest edition of their well-known dictionary they will find a full explanation of the meaning of the word "gall." Farming in Vancouver Island A CAREFULLY written and beautifully illustrated pamphlet on the subject of "Farming In Vancouver Island" has been issued by Messrs. Carmichael k Moorhead. It is a pamphlet which everyone would do well to read, because it contains a mass of carefully collected information on the important subject of farming, showing what can be raised, what prices can be realized and what markets are available. It covers every branch of farming and stock raising and the illustrations furnished hy Mr. Fleming and Mr. Leonard Frank make the book little loss than nn "edition de luxe." It is to be hoped that this pamphlet will be circulated in .the Old Country so thnt intending, settlers may receive reliable information about conditions in British Columbia. The Week does not remember having seen any publication which is more valuable to the "bona fide" settler, or more creditable to the publishers. 1 The British Lion'' at their were so miserably misled, there will That when 30,000 people purchase ho none tor lhe union officials who 100,000 tickets tor the Cambridgeshire •'got it in the neck."

Thai while the picture mny be hot, the subject looks cold. Thnt The Colonist made a hit wilh its editorial on "Murdering lhe English language across the Footlights." ft That it was strictly correct in point of foci, and sound in lhe deductions drawn. Thai il is a rare case for anj American company In speak lhe Eng' Iish language with lhe faintest approach to correctness or intelligence. That a really beautiful skeleh of Lincoln's career, at the Empress Theatre Ihis week, wns completely spoilt by thc inarticulate mouthing i of the leading lady. Thnt it is a pity lhat transportation companies do not run their lime- (ablcs in thc local newspapers.
