Your correspondent I. D. Vosper's interesting letter in last week's Western Call gave some useful information, and it is worthy of note that Old Country growers are beginning to take up the planting of the better varieties of fruits, apples, etc. The value of the Jersey potato crop over $20,000, is also amazing off this small strip of island 6 miles by 12, a great portion of which is a rocky barren waste. It shows what can be done in British Columbia once we open up the land and get the right\" class of settlers. The government has undoubt- . edly taken a step in the right direction with the proposal to lighten the taxation of those who live on the land. Something must be done to make it more attractive to a sturdy yeoman class, and the relief from taxation, for a number of years, is one step that adds an inducement to \"back to the land\" cry. That patriotic and virile body, the Canadian Club, had a big rally to meet Mr. Forbes Robertson in Dominion Hall. The great actor spoke with charming grace and unaffectedness, as if he were addressing old friends. Vancouver will give him a royal welcome when he comes among us again in Shakesperian roles. The writer remembers him many years ago playing \"Orlando\" to Mary Anderson's \"Rosalind.\" He has climbed the very summit of stage-craft since those days and is now\" considered the finest Hamlet of the age. The recent daring holdup at the Royal Bank in broad daylight is a bad advertisement for the city and a bad advertisement for the bank itself. Apart from the mere loss of the money, it does a great amount of harm for the public to feel that . their bankers cannot keep proper hold of the money intrusted to them. No one can blame the bank staff who certainly cannot expect to be shot at on the mere pittance they are paid at 'present. Young Richardson showed more pluck than wisdom In putting up the fight he did. The remedy is for the banks generally to employ better paid staffs and give them time and money enough to join the various athletic clubs, and take part in the many sports that are going on, then, perhaps, the bank clerks will be in finer trim and training to take on the \"yegg-men.

In our last article, published in last week's \"CALL,\" on \"Oriental Immigration,\" we discussed the question from the standpoint of Japanese Immigration. It is our purpose this week to deal With the much talked of \"HINDU\" problem. We must once again call attention to,the efforts, of many sympathizers of the Hindus, to rouse support for them on sentimental and religious grounds. Again we, assert that most of these so-called supporters are ignorant of actual conditions and have been carried away by the supposedly unjust treatment accorded to the Hindu. There recently journeyed to Ottawa, to present the case of the Hindu, three Sihks, (Sundar Singh. Tiga Singh, Rajah Singh) and a white man named Hall, who was totally ignorant of the actual facts of the case, but who imagined it was his Christian duty to,support the Hindu. That this man Hall was not clear, as to his position, was evidenced by his objection to the presence of the B. C members on the occasion of the presentation of the Hindu's case before the Minister of the Interior, and also from the fact that his only argument was based on his views as a Missionary. We have nothing to say derogatory of the Missionary Movement, but hold that this question has a much greater claim on our attention from an economic and national standpoint, than from a missionary point of view. - ��������� Permit us first to dispose of some of the argiiijients put. forward by this man Hall, and by others who hold similar views, when urging that the wives of the Hindus be admitte^;k;Theu? main contention is, that it is immoral to expect men to live apart from their women, and if we insist upon this Unnatural condition, it will be conducive to criminal practices on the part of the Hindu. Very great stress is placed upon this argument, and it is amazing to what extent it is being advanced by those who claim to be the special custodians of public morals and by church people. Have these special pleaders for the Hindu, ever stopped to consider the inevitable, and logical conclusion to which their argument must lead? Do they not realize that to accept their contention, is to admit the whole principle of \"restricted districts,\" and that chastity is an impossible virtue? These same moralists would raise a tremendous howl if it were proposed to introduce a system of restricted districts, (and in thei* objection we Would heartily agree), but they accept on behalf of the Hindu an argument which they have been fighting, in season and out of season, for years, when applied to white men. Then again, according to the solemn declaration of Tega Singh, only one-half of the Hindus now in British Columbia have wives. What do .these moral advocates propose for the balance, about 2,500 in numbejr? Surely to be consistent with this disgusting argument presented by this fellow Hall, and foolishly caught up by hundreds of churches throughout Ontario and the West, it will be necessary to make some provision for this large number of unmarried Hindus, or admit that there is still existing in our midst \"a grave menace to public morals,\" or to quote Hall further, \"would you ask these men to live a life of enforced <������ chastity?'* We answer, unhesitatingly, yes, and utterly repudiate this low, base argument, which * is a libel on the decent manhood of Canada.' ; \" '% - We apologize to the reader for this discussion but it was made necessary by the wholesale _ presentation of this argument by the very people, including large numbers of churches, who up- < on reflection, cannot possibly accept it, but who have.been hoodwinked by such men as this Hall \\ and other utterly irresponsible people, whose foolish' fanaticism has entirely blinded their judg ���������ment,-;- r \\ As a matter of fact, this question of bringing in their wives never entered .into the minds of ! the Hindus until very recently, and then only as a means to rouse sentimental support from a : certain type of moral busbody, and how well the wily Hindu succeeded is evidenced by the hubbub which has resulted. The object the Hindu has in view is, first, to secure the right of access to Canada, then to make this the ground for claim, us British subjects**** ifree right of tr������\\ el jit settlement in all parts of the Empire, then to claim full right of franchise* aud to-oatend this to \"the' right 'to sit in all elective bodies, or to hold office in any public capacity. This; in brief, if their propaganda as stated to the writer by this very fellow, Dr. Sundar Singh. - Now let us for a moment examine the persounei of this delegation which went to Ottawa. There is the so-called Dr. Sundar Singh, who is being quoted all over the East, and who represents himself as a wealthy philanthropist, who is spending his time and money to elevate his poor, suffering fellow countrymen in Canada. He has succeeded in working the people of Ontario to a pitch of excitement worthy of a much better cause and a more honest man. This Sunda Singh is one of the cleverest rascals in Canada. Until very recently he was the leader of a clique of the Hindu colony in B. C. who were opposed to the rule of Tega Singh, with whom he is now conspiring in order to promote the program outlined above. He is in Canada illegally, by evading the Immigration Laws, and, should be deported. He is a professional agitator and trouble monger, and, instead of being a philanthropist, is an unscrupulous exploiter of his more ignorant fellow- countrymen, living off his wits. He has traveled widely and has had an extensive experience, and bandies business matters for other Hindus at a handsome profit to himself. He\"is altogether undesirable and unreliable, and a menace to the community. Tega Singh is the leader of the Hindus of the Pacific Coast; he is a student and a scholar, but, like his old enemy and compatriot, Sunda Singh, he also lives by his wits, and by what he can secure from his fellows. He is aulever dreamer, but a fearfully poor business man. His word, like that of all Orientals, is absolutely unreliable. He is reported to be deeply interested in the modern sedition movement of India. Asa scholar, he is interesting, but as a citizen, guiding the destiny of his fellows, he is extremely dangerous. Rajah Singh, the last of the trio, is the only trustworthy one of the three, but he is pretty much controlled by the others, so is not of serious consequence. As stated, up to recently, Tega and Sunda Singh were bitter enemies and constantly conspiring one against the other, and it would be interesting to know just what the terms are of this unholy alliance. So much for the men, and, by the way, the writer has an intimate acquaintance with them and knows whereof he speaks. Now let us examine the claims of the Hindus and submit some reasons why, in our opinion, they should not be granted. First, they ask that the wives and families of those now in the country be admitted, which, according to their own statements, would number about 2,500 to.3.000 families. Taking five as an average family, and this is small, it would mean that there would be an immediate increase of the Hindu colony of about 12,000 to 15,000 souls. Or. in other words, we would ha\\e a colony of about 20,000 Hindus, which would rapidly grow by natural increase. They claim that Canada requires settlers and that the Hindus are farmers. It is true, we do want settlers, but these men will not pioneer, they congregate around great cities and are employed at jobs' for which there is a very ample supply of labor, such work as piling lumber at the saw mills, tending machines of various sorts, working as section men on the railways, clearing city lots, excavation work, stable and garden men, etc., etc. They work much cheaper than a white man could afford to. They herd together in small houses in the poorer districts of the cities and thus Hve very cheaply. They do, to a very small extent, work in the country contiguous to the cities, but they do not, nor will they go into undeveloped districts to settle new country. So from a settler's standpoint they have no claims. Another ground upon which they demand right of entry is, that they are British Subjects. This claim seems to captivate the mind of many who are supporting their requests. They are British subjects, so is the North American Indian, theBushman of Australia, the Hotentot and Kafir of South Africa, the Natives of New Guinea, the Aborigines of New Zealand, and we might add, the native tribes of Egypt. Would anyone suggest that we should open Canada or any other part of the Empire to an unrestricted migration of any of these people who should take a notion to travel ? Because a man is a British subject, is^that a reason why he should have freedom to impose his presence in any place which may strike his fancy? Have we the right to compel South Africa, or India, or New Zealand to accept immigrants from Canada, irrespective of their qualifications? Do we not refuse large numbers of British born immigrants, because in our opinion they are not desirable? And who dares to interfere in our inalienable right to state the qualification of our immigrants? Therefore, on the ground that we in Canada, in common with all other self governing Dominions, have the right to say who shall and who shall not settle here, we contend that if we ehoose to say \"No\" to the Hindu, we are free to do so. and are not compelled to answer to any higher authority for our position than that of our own Parliament. But, further, our position, or contention is strengthened by this fact, that the Hindu is of a different race, standard of morals and ethical ideas, mental conceptions, traditions, history, culture, customs, physical attainments and capabilities, home and social life, education, and in fact, in every way is different from us. We cannot and will not assimilate. It would mean a contest between the Oriental and the Occidental, and, while in Canada the Occidental at present predominates, we are not inclined to invite a contest between three hundred and fifty millions of Orientals and seven millions of Occidentals. We contend that the destiny of Canada is best left in the hands of the Anglo Saxon race, and are \"unalterably and irrevocably\" opposed to any move, which threatens in the slightest degree, this position.

Last week I spoke of the .thrift jif the French housewife and her careful marketing ways, as being the mainstay of the common people in France, where the .cost of living tells the same story of ^mounting up; and ever up. France, too, it must be remembered, is the home of the new \"intensive cultivation\" that has become so popular ���������and Is giving such good results In Britain at present. There, at least, one can imagine that there are .no Swift-Armour-.Morris combines to raise the price of flesh foods. How, then, one may ask. does this theory of evil combine influence hold in keeping up French prices? The answer is. the same causes are at work under another name���������MONOPOLY. That is the answer. Strangest of all, it is here the PEOPLE'S OWN MONOPOLY���������that is to say, the Government of France���������of LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY who tax the people to such extent that even the commonest necessaries of life, such as matches, are heavily taxed, whilst tobacco is absurdly high, and wretchedly bad at that It Is, perhaps, not to be wondered at when one remembers that every seventh person in FRANCE IS OFFICIAL. Again the priesthood exact immense doles from the masses���������ironical as It reads���������for MASSES���������and one kind of priesthood spoliation and another reduces poor Johnny Crapaud to a life of hard toil, low wages and high cost, of living. We are told by the scientist that higher wages have been the chief cause of Increasing the cost of living. If that Is so, how comes it that In France, where wages are relatively the lowest ln modern industrial Europe, that the cost of living 'has risen so disproportionately? Here, again, as ln Germany, the railways have had to make huge cuts In cost of transportation, the Paris milk and. butter coming so far South as Charantes���������yet. In spite of this ever widening circle of supply, prices mount up, ever upwards. Again I turn to France to disprove I another nostrum that Communistic faddists are ever urging as a true rem edy of an ideal state���������NATIONALIZATION OF THE RAILWAYS! Well, the French Government has almost, nationalized one huge railway system out of existence. Le Chemin fl' fer de L'Ouest, or Western of France Railway-���������from Paris to Havre���������one of France's busiest seaports, has now been a Government line for four or five years, with the result that the cost of Tunning it, and therefore, the cost of transportation over it, has increased neairiy 50 per cent., whilst dissatisfaction in nearly all grades is rampant, Turning over these and kindred facts, we see that the mere fact of widening the area of supplies, i.e., increasing the productive area, the lowering of productive charges���������as v the state of affairs in both Germany and France shows���������does NOT of itself LOWER THE COST OF LIVING. SOMETHING MORE IS NEEDED. Combination, as I Bald at the outset, of the masses against the packer combines. Is one great step, and to REDUCE THE COST OF DISTRIBUTION is another VITALLY important one. This is where you want to get busy. O! COUNCIL OF TEN! Now, you bright young merchants and middle men���������whom I have spoken of before as the proper ones to take a hand in organizing the NEW FOOD LEAGUE ���������for your own and your neighbor's benefit, come out Into the open and show your mettle. You wage-earners, and family food- finders, look into this question and join in a movement that has Its ultimate aim for your good. Consider the fact that a fall in price of commodities does not mean a fall ln wages���������quite the opposite. Here it points to an increase of utility, the exploitation of new fields of proc'u; ' \"id the Improvement of the :. : OF DISTRIBUTION.

PATHFINDER. Building Notes Alderman Baxter, chairman of the Bridges and Railways Committee, seems to be the right man in the right .pljjce, and is to be highly commended for the stand he has taken up that Vancouver engineers can as well, if not better, design Vancouver's bridges and viaducts than any outside firm who open an office here, appoint resident engineers and prepare \"ethical studies\"���������whatever they may mean���������free of cost. I have always noted that these \"free studies\" lead to a handsome, if not excessive, commission���������which is the only handsome feature of the resulting work. Our city is disfigured by structures of, as one of the aldermen put It, \"bird-cage\" erections, and if a prize were ever to be awarded for the champion nglifler of Vancouver, Wad- dell & Harrington, if they did not secure first place, would be certain of a special prize ln this direction. In any event, even If this firm were a strictly local concern, which they cannot possibly be. their head offices being in the States���������I say even if they were pioneers of Vancouver, and spent their earnings here, every cent and. every dollar of it���������it would be still monstrously unfair to hand them out every bridge job the city has. They have had more than their fair share already, and it is high time the Vancouver engineers, looked closer into this question and urged upon the city a free and open competition to Vancouver engineering firms. Proper conditions could be drawn up, and either one assessor or a committee appointed to make an award���������and one of the conditions, if not the first, must be that the competitor is a British subject who has resided here at least twelve months. .A deputation should go to the City Hall at once. It is certain that in Alderman Baxter such a deputation would get a sympathizer who would carry his committee on ��������� \" fair and popular point. I air * wd also with the pro? ������he Harris-Georgia viaduct a >ed concrete struc ture. It might thus become possessed of some lines of beauty which would start the \"City Beautiful\" campaign oh the right road. Alderman Baxter's committee need have no fear about the practicability of such a structure when they find that the Tiber at Rome has just been spanned by a new concrete bridge whose span is no less than 33 feet broader than the longest stone arch in (Continiitcr on Page 7) Also large variety of POULTRY SUPPLIES Fresh stock of PRATT'S POULTRY FOOD OUR BEST FLOUR F.

In the first place, according to the man who has given Epictetus renewed fame, children in the schools are made to study too hard; an attempt is made to teach a little of everything, and as a result nothing, is learned thoroughly. Another count in his indictment against the modern school 'system Is that when the children emerge from it they are unprepared and unwilling to do- useful work. The boys refuse to learn trades and the girls turn up their noses at housework. \"We are now a Ngtfrawter mark *t $298. Hans at Accountants.

After the egg is safely deposited, to regain her freedom she must stoop to get under the bar, and fn doing so makes a mark with the crayon attached to her teg on a piece of paper that Is placed on'the floor of the entrance to the nest, thus registering the fact that bringing boys and girls out of the ..fc . _ ... .���������_ . ..

No More Free Catsup. One of the most curious developments of the Increased, cost of living is now making itself felt here in the loud cry of protest which has been raised by patrons of quick lunch counters over the abolishment of the free catsup bottle. It is even reported that free catsup may become s political slogan through the organization ot Montreal's army of hasty eaters who have come to look upon the condiment as one of their Inalienable rights of which the trusts are now accused of depriving them. For many years the free catsup bottle has been an important feature of the lunch counters at which an army of workers are accustomed to snatch their noonday repast at a cost of from five to fifteen cents, and the amount which has daily been consumed without charge would be sufficient to float a good-sized ship. Now, however, the edict has gone forth that because of the increased cost of food there will be no more free catsup served with low-priced meals. Persons consuming only a five-cent lunch will, if they want catsup, be compelled to pay five cents for it. Consumers of meals costing ten or fifteen cents will receive free a half portion���������that is, one small dab���������while the gourmand of the quick lunch counter who consumes a twenty-five cent meal will receive free of charge a full portion���������so-called���������consisting of two dabs. Probably no other curtailment of the midday meals, and there have been many of them during the last year, has met with such general denunciation, and already talk has been heard here of the establishment of a political body pledged to give its vote only to such candidates as shall work for the restoration of the free catsup bottle as the first step toward the reduction of the price of food. Bell Hops Getting Rich. That the week from Christmas to New Years brought a golden harvest to hotel employes In this city in the shape of tips and presents is indicated by the records of the garnered spoils which are now more or less complete. So far the record for bell .boys is held by an uptown hotel where the average amount collected during six days by each of the uniformed youngsters is reported as being ?48. While lower figures prevailed at other hotels, it is safe to assume that $25 would not be far from the bell boy average for the first-class hotels. Nobody is willing to venture an estimate on the extent to which Christmas enriched the all- powerful clean of head waiters, although it is known to be very large Generally speaking, the room clerks fared extremely well. An actual list of the gifts received by a popular clerk in a popular hotel included six suits of silk underwear, eight boxes cigars, 200 cigarettes, three fine neckties, $40 in cash, one scarf pin, five pounds candy, two pocketbooks, six pairs silk sQcks, one hat, one tie clasp, one pair cuff links, one jar preserved figs. But although this Christmas was a good one for hotel employes, ft Is of no modern growth. Twenty years ago, according to a manager who was then an elevator boy on the only car at the old Windsor Hotel, his average gifts in cash approximated $200. During a period of four years the smallest holiday contributions he received amounted to $146, while the banner week set the receipts of aged and Incompetent ... -jiC , r ,-��������� assooat to 5,000 dosen weekly, it will be seen that the chances of the ordinary citizen coming into contact with them are too great for comfort.

(From Our Own Correspondent) MONTREAL, Jan. 24.���������A wide open city, rivalling the palmiest daya of Paris and other continental cities is the chief plank of Montreal's eleventh- hour candidate for mayor, Dr. Gustavo Tasse. Dr. Tasae entered the. Held when it was learned that Alderman U. H. Dandurand bad dropped out of the race owing to the fact that he had not obtained the support of the Good Citizens' Association. His programme la as sweeping in reforms and changes in the social conditions as ever were those of any candidate offering himself to the citizens, but along rather bizarre .and (candidly open lines. The new candidate declares that his candidature is more in the nature of a referendum than a mayoralty contest. \"I want the citizens to have a chance to vote secretly,\" he said, \"on questions which have been choked through hypocrisy, money, or other influences.\" \"My programme is a radical one,\" the candidate continues; \"to awaken Montreal from its lethargy and change our mode of administration from top to bottom.\" Among the planks of Dr. Tasse's programme are: 1. The total abolition of aldermen, to be replaced by controllers. 2. The abolition of present school commissions, to be replaced by those elected by the*people, \"without interference from the municipalities, authorities of of the clergy.'' 3. No interference from the Provincial government in Montreal affairs. 4. Abolition of property qualifications. 5. Repeal of the new paving law. 6. Compulsory education and uniformity of school books. 7. Acceptance of Andrew Carnegie's offer of a public library, \"without clerical interference of any kind.\" 8. The licensing of disorderly houses and quarters set apart for them, such houses to be placed under the supervision of the sanitary board and police authorities. 9. Theatres of all kinds open on Sunday. 10. Stores open on Sunday till 12 o'clock so that the working man who has no wine cellar may get what he wants the same as his rich neighbor. 11. Absolute imposition of taxes en churches, presbyteries, convents, colleges, hospitals, etc., with the understanding that the authorities shall give such grants as the institutions merit. \"Rots\" and \"Spots.\" The vigorous campaign waged in this city last year against the use of stale eggs by bakers, confectioners and others who are able to disguise them in their manufactured product apparently will have to be fought over again. The charge is made that the traffic in \"rotB\" and \"spots/' as they are known to the trade, is going on as extensively as ever. Presumably this information is accurate, for it comes from the dealers in bad eggs themselves. Their business consists in supplying these tainted products of the poultry yard in liquid or powder form to tanneries for use in the process of making leather, and they complain that it is impossible for them to secure spoiled eggs for this purpose because they are going into regular trade channels.

Beattie, the pioneer and successful real estate auctioneer, has just closed a contract with the. owner ot the Sumner place, being Dl 70, comprising 392 lots, which he will put on the market at an auction sale on February 12, of which full particulars will appear in the local papers on Satur- Burnaby line of the B. C. B. it., only day next; The property is situated on tbe five minutes ride from the Martin property in the Hastings townslte, and will be cleared in the same way as the latter. . This subdivision Is right at the crossing of the B. C. E. R. and the Great Northern Railway, \"and therefore has a double service into the rltv. it trnn rich soil and level ground and is within a stone's throw of Stave Lake substation, which cost $300,000, also the proposed steel works. A very good reason why Mr. Beattie haa been successful with all his real real estate sales is that he will only undertake sales of merit. When seen by a reporter lie explained that he had refused no less than eight real estate sales the last six months for different reasons, such as inaccessibility and outside towns, and he positively refuses to have his name connected with any townsite he has not seen and personally inspected, and he said he could not understand how anyone would buy lois seven or eight hundred miles from, Vancouver when in nine'cases out of ten the seller of the lots had never seen them. Mr. Beattie further said: \"Here are lots I am putting on the market that are offered for the first time, within a few minutes' ride from the center of the city of Vancouver. You can go and see them any hour of the day. They are close to the best city on the North American continent, and everyone knows it must grow east and south. You can build on these lots and work in the city. They are just over the boundary line from the city and there is'nothing you can buy today that is more certain of an advance. My advice would be: \"Put your money into lots that will be In Greater Vancouver before long and reap the full benefit yourself.\" Watch for display ad and comparative values next issue. ARE YOU MORTGAGED? Many farmers in this Western Country labor under a serious disadvantage of having to pay heavy rates ���������of interest on mortgages owing to the lack of sufficient capital to start with. Interest from 8 to 12 per cent- is too high. The Family Herald and Weekly Star baa taken up tbe fight for the western farmers in earnest and is urging the government to establish a loan system to assist them. The Family Herald and Weekly Star wants the Government to borrow large sums in England at a low rate and guarantee principal and interest and loan the money, under proper supervision to farmers at a reasonable rate. Never did a paper take up a more, worthy cause, and tbe Family Herald and Weekly Star deserves the credit of every Westerner. The articles appearing in The Family Herald and Weekly Star are well worth reading. The paper costs only one dollar per year and is the best value in tbe newspaper world.
