Ia city the people are justly proud of IN CLIMATE, soil aud productiveness, no country in the world equals British Columbia.] a You may travel the world over and you will not find a spot, where are raised, more, better or more diversified crops than right here in our own province. Until quite recently' tlie name of British Columbia suggested to the minds of a great many people a wild land, [difficult of access, bands of lurking and blood thirsty Indians waitfug for the scalp of thel white man and vast forests that have never seen or felt the axe of the woodman. How totally different the scene and how our eastern brothers ought to envy us our land of sun.; shine, of trees aud rare and beautiful flowers, onr immense crops, luscious fruits, mountain scenery and ocean breeze. Now that the Kast is beginning to realize that they were idly sleeping while great changes have been taking place in the West among their active! brethren, the trip to the coast has become very popular with tourists, for this trip combines! all the comforts and luxuries that any eastern point can offer. The City of Vancouver, the metropolis of British Columbia, has a most interesting history. In June of 1792 Captain George Vancouver sailed into Burrard Inlet, which he named as he also did all the neighboring islands, inlets and lands. His ships were anchored three miles to the west of the city in the Gulf of Georgia. Captain Vancouver was on a voyage of exploration and hoped to find a northwestern passage through North America. Although Vancouver visited in 1792 it was almost 100 years later before the town began to assume proportions of importance. Vancouver is perhaps 20 years old and it would be hard indeed to find a city that can compare with it for growth and advancement in so short a time. The city itself was first called by various names, perhaps the most frequent names by which it was known 'Acre GastoWfl and Granville. It was incorporated in 1886 aud was named after the great explorer and sailor, who was the first white man to visit its site. It was but a few years after its incorporation that Vancouver was visited by a must disastrous fire. The fatal day was on a Sunday aud sj swift was the destruction that it required but several hours to lay waste and ruin where once stood a flourishing municipality. Looking at Vancouver today, it is difficult to realize that the city of four and six story structures, of electric cars, paved streets and beautiful residences, the home of 42,000! pr isperous and contented souls is not yet a quarter of a century old. Vancouver's business! b'ocks are indicative of the prosperity of the city. They are mostly of stone which is quarried but a short distance away and present a most imposing appearance. All available locations ou the principal streets have been taken up and the buildings erected this year will greatly increase the importance of Vancouver as a commercial center. Many delightful hours can be spent in the beautiful Stanley Park, or at the ] inviting Knglish Bay or Greer's Beach resorts. The street cars cover the city thoroughly, ! the mountains around about make inviting picnic grounds, enjoyable trips can be had on the sound, and all in all this is just the city for the tourist. We have yet to find the visitor who was disappointed in bis impressions of Vancouver. Space does not permit a more thorough mention of the advantages an 1 resources "four lovely home. In another column will be found figures and facts that will interest each and every one of us. In concluding we will add a few words legarding the merchants and manufac hirers of Vancouver. Taken as a whole they are progressive aud liberal in their views aud the establishments aud industries they operate compare most favorably with any in other! municipalities even though of greater pretentions than Vancouver. It is to our business 1 men that we owe the success of this review. When approached by our representative they! •expressed their willingness to help in the project. In these following columns we present brief sketches of some of our representative houses. F.ach in his particular line has some-! I thing to offer that will interest you. ^ Patronize Home Industry and by so doing help to make your city famous. This I's what we would like to impress upon our readers. Money spent at home will remain at How happy, oh! how happy he must be ; The Indian! He's no monthly bills to meet. No collar tall, nor tight-laced corsets he; Nor fancy silklels for his sockless feet. Pajamas? My! he never dreamed of such; No agents knock fore'er at his tejiee. His better half his pockets doth not touch; No grocer doth his salary garnishee. How blest lives lie; he never owes a cent; He never has to dodge nor make excuse; No landlord waits upon his porch for rent; Scot free lives he from civilized abuse. What camels we, loaded with every plight I Oh! the affliction to be born a white. How cruel ! Yes, how cruel 'tis to teach These natives to adopt pursuits like ours; To turn night into day—at dawn home reach, From strenuous business, or unwise amours. To take him from the hunt and teach him how To navigate a plow across a field; To toil and sweat with harvest sun, and show Him how to garner and to swsp the yield; To teach him luxuries; to educate His palate up to t-a with sugar in it. To say his prayers and blindly trust to fate; To bet on winning horse and yet not win it. Sore trials we've had to our queer ways to tie him. But, rest our souls, we know we mean well by him.

The hotel accommodations ot this city lire of n high order, and are a great credit to the city, as well as to the management of these hos,telries. The Alhambra hotel has been established here for tho past twenty years, and it is on the site where was built the first house In the present city of Vancouver. This was built by Mr. John Dayton, familiarly known as "Gassey Jack," and the house, entered In 1864, became known as "Dayton's Hotel, Gas Town," the word "gas" originating from Dayton's nickname of "Gassey Jack." This was burned in the great fire of 1SS7, but was almost Immediately replaced by a handsome brick structure and called the Alhambra hotel, and thus this popular house stands today as practically the first hotel In the city. It is located at the corner of Carrall and Water streets and contains twenty rooms, all of which are furnished in a comfortable and homelike manner, and with the best beds that money can buy. The rooms are large, light and airy and are always spotlessly neat and clean. The dining room is large arid nicely furnished, the tables being provided with the best of linen. The meals served are provided from the best that the market affords, and under the personal supervision of a chef who has an established reputation In this line. The bar operated in connection with this hotestelry ls famed for ils good whiskey, and for the fine wines to be found here, of which the stock is always complete and well selected. The proprietors of this popular hotel, Mrs. S. Thompson and .Sons, have had experience in this line nnd it is operated ln a model way by the able and popular manager, Mr. R. D. Thompson. 0 THOMAS MARSHALL. There is no department of work connected with the construction of a building that Is Imbued with greater Importance than is that which refers to the plumbing and ventilation, for up- I)!' the proper performance of their work depends the health, to a great extent, of those who are to Inhabit the building. A gentleman to whom we wish to call attention In this connection Is Mr. Thomas Marshall, the pioneer plumber, steam and gas fitter, 'ibis gentleman has had many years of experience in these lines and he knows how to perform the work so that the besl results ln each building will be at- | mined. He has given much attention and observation to these matters, and the results of his experience are always embodied to the best advantage In all that he does. In addition to doing first class and eminently satisfactory plumbing, Fleam and gas fitting, he also does galvanised Iron cornice nn.l roofing, bath room work, etc., ami when It Is done by Mr. Marshall, or hlH workmen, one enn rest assured that it will be right. Mr. Marshall employs five skilled plumbers to assist him and has a very neat and well equipped shop at 216 ("amble street. This gentleman will soon remove to elegant an.l commodious quarters in the new Cle mentd block at the corner of Columbia avenue and Hastings street, the new five-story brick building which is just being erected at this place.

Miners'Magazine Published Weekly by the Western Federation Ot Miners A Vigorous Advocate ot Labor's Cause. Clear-Cut and Aggressive. Per Year $1.00 Six Months, 50c Address: MINERS' MAGAZINE, Denver, Colorado. We, the Socialist Party of Canada, in conventi >-i a sembled, affirm ou • i-Uegiance to and support of the principles and prog-.ani of the international revolutionary working class. Labor produces all wealth, and to labor it should 'u-tly belong.. To the owners of the means of wealth production belongs the product of labor. The present "Cv-iKmic system is based upon capitalist ownership of the means of wealth production; therefore all the products of labor belong to the capitalist class. The capitalist is master; the worker is slave. So long as the capitalists remain in possession of the reins of government all the powers of the state will be used to protect and defend their property rights in the means of wealth production and their control of the product of labor. The capitalist system gives to the capitalist an ever-swelling stream of profits, and to the worker an ever- increasing measure of misery and degradation. The interest of the working class lies in the direction of setting itself free from capitalist exploitation by the abolition of the wage system. To accomplish this necessitates the transformation of capitalist property in the means of wealth production into collective or working-class property. The irrepressible conflict of interests between the capitalist and the worker is rapidly culminating in 1 struggle for possession of the powel I of government—the capitalist to hold the worker to secure it by politic! j action. This is the class struggle. I Therefore, we call upon all worker* I to organize under the banner of the . Socialist Party of Canada with the ob- ! ject of conquering the public powen for the purpose of settinp up and enforcing the economic program ol the working class, as follows: 1. The transformation, as rapidly as possible, 11 capitalist property is the means of wealth production tin- tural resources, factories, mills, railways, etc.,) into the collective property of the working class. 2. Thorough and democratic organization and management of industry by the workers. 3. The establishment, as speedily a> possible, of production for use instead of production for profit. The Socialist -""arty, when in office, shall always and everywhere until the present system is abolished, make the answer to this question its guidinj itile of conduct:. Will this legislation advance the interests of the workin* class and aid the workers In th ir clw struggle against capitalism? If it *j» the Socialist Party is for it: if it wil not, the Socialist Party is absolutely opposed to it. In accordance ■with this principle*-" ! Socialist Party pledges itself to conduct all t* e public affairs placed in its hands l - such a manner as to pro- j mote th. interests of the working elm 1 alone. SMOKE Kurtz's Own ...
