l^uropean concert, Turkey has just de- . larcd that the Idetttical note of the three Balkan states does not merit an answer." : -
The prerrtier characterized this as comical In view of I.iord Salisbury's definition of Turkey at th6 Berlin cPn- K fence as "A p^ower dependent upoii t^ie protection of others for Its exist- ence," and adds:
"Turkey also accuses the Balkan states of lacking deference to the great pow<>r8. It Is ridiculous that a govern- ment, that slncf the Crlrpean wur tijs done nothing but trample under foot Its I'k'dscs to the frreat powers, upon whose protection It depends, should accuse us of falhiie to .show respect for its pro- tectors."

LIBERAL VICTORY WON
BY THE ALIEN VOTE
tilmmm^m
The extraordinary niann*r in wliltli the Liberal party recently scored Its "victory" in Saskatchewan. thereby demonstrating. It was claimed, that one province, at least, still kept the faith for reciprocity, is not to go down In history with untarnished laurels. If Mr. n. J. "Wylle, member of the provincial parliament from Maple Creek, and sev- eral of his associates, have anytliing to do with It.
Mr. Wylle. arriving at the lOinpress last night, declared that he has first- hand evidence to prove that the earnest and InOeffttlgablo workers In the Lib- eral ranks deliberately tricked the pro- vince with an alien vote, and otherwl.«<e po tampered the British Xorth America Act that an effort is now underway to have the Dominion governnieiu lake a hand In the matter.
This statement, on Hie part of Mr. Wylle, was not offered as one of the iiHunl after-election Px,)lanation« in- tended to cover up an unpleuslng <le- feat. but as a fad which could be proven upon a proper Imiiilry. l...
Alien Tota Won
"I intend to say soinethiiiK about It when poillament convtn<s in Hegiiia," Mr. Wylle said last night. "It is a fact that the Liberals made their gains by putting aliens, such as Americans and others, on the voting lists, and we can prove it. ,\aturally, these gv'Utlemen, being Americans, favored reciprocity, and our Liberal .friends reaped the benefit. Also, they have not failed to ailvertlse the completeness of their vic- tory. It now remains to be seen how iinneet that victory was.

OTTAWA. Ont., Oct. 17.— The depart- ment of labor returns .show that whole- sale prices continued to decline dur- ing September, standing at 1.T2.5, as compared with 13.1.4 in August and 128 in September last year. These num- bers show a comparison of the prices prevailing at the present time with average prices during ten years, 1890- 1899, some 257 articles being entered In the estimates. The downward move- n-vent during September was due chiefly to declines in the price of fresh vege- tables, especially potatoes, while there were slight increases in several com- modities, notably dairy products, fish. Iron, hides, boots, slioes, ahthraclto coal and miscellaneous building ma- toria!ls. In regard to the retail prices the chief feature of the month was the rise In the price of anthracite coal In many cities of Western tJanada.

The return shown above of the ship- ping returns for Victoria Indicate the great development being made In local trade during tho past six months. When It Is considered that during the six months of the first half of tlie fiscal year ending on September 30, a grand total of 5747 ves.seis. foreign and coast- wise, in and out, came and went from local wharves, as compared with a total of 7254 with tonnage of 4,826,769 for the whole year of 1909-10, the Increase is seen to be s considerable one. The present average shows approximately a. thousand vessels come and go at the port of Victoria every month.
Not one of the eastern ports can show anything like the record of shipping ns does Victoria. The ra.pidlty in which the business grows is indicated by. tho following returns for the pa.st few years:

year the foreign trade of Montreal, In- ward and outward, totalled 845 vessels, with 3,38&,951 tons, as compared With 2834 with 3,522,851 at Victoria In the same time, and at St. John the foreign shipping inward and outward in the same space was 2442 vessels of 2,013,- 425 tons, while Halifax had 2344 vessels in and out, foreign, of ,1,111,635 tons.
As was stated a few days ago, the amount of freight landed by foreign trading vessels at tho Outer wharves hss trebled d^-ing the ..past two.^years, . and the wharves are piled with freight constantly. Victoria Is mado the dla- tributlng point for a considerable amoimt of cargo from the Orient for eastern Canadian ports, from 800 to 1000 tons being landed by nearly every <'»ii.llnued on Page 5, Col.

LONDON, Oct. 17. — Quite a sensation was created at Port.fniouth laet night by the official announcement that Lady Meux. wife of Admiral Sir H.

Hon. Dr. Young Announces That the Provincial Govern- ment Will Foster Art in a Most Substantial Manner
When the provincial government resolve* upon providing: further additions to llm new biocku that are now being added to the parliament bulldlnuii, a museum will be provided for, and a portion of that muBcum will be devoted to the purposes of an art gallery, with a view to foaterlng the artistic spirit In the city and in the province.
That is the statement tliat was mado yes- terday afternoon by the Hon. Dr. Young In opening the exhibition or Iho ^rt» and

hope to.berln the erection of a museum as PUrt of the new government buildings. It ;.1» my Intention to have the plans drawn eo that a portion of that museum can be used as a picture gallery. I have already begun to purchase paintings, a few of which, 1 think, will form the pucleu* of a good col- lodion.
Will Be Worthy ColleRtlon
"With the assistance of this Club and those outsider."; who take an Interest In., art development I hope- th«t We will eventually be able to- have a collection of pictures of which we may be ptoud. It Is my Intention to commence with a. series of local pictures. I had the pleasure last week of viewing several by a provincial painter and I think X may purchase three or tour of them to start off with. In the matter of selecting pictures for tho gnllerj' 1 think the Arts and Crafts Club can be of very material . asal.-!tanco to us,
"It Is a good IhlnR for the people of this country to realize that there is more In the world than tho material things they are Invariably engaged In looking for, and I welcomu the efforts of the Arts and Crafts Club at this time, a time when It Is alleged that we are reaching the limits In material- ism. Our progress in material things has been so A?reat in this counti-y that I some- times think it has altogether overshadowed the artistic and the aesthetic aide of life. To allow surh n »t:,r,. .if things to continue would be • lettable, and there-
fore I- am .Aii4-4,.i^-Aftij«i^liite myself on this occasion WK^^lfSS^^ 'organlzatiou us
Vote of Thanks
Dean Doull performed the gracious task of moving: a vote of Jlianks to the minister of education, and In doing so he welcomed the statement that had been made regard- ing the establishment of a picture gallery for the province. He considered that that step would do mora to foster art In the province than anything: else, and with .the continued activities of the Arts and Crafts Club he saw ft bright future ahead, of Vic- toria as a centre of art. It had been said that out in the west the people were ao taken up with th© pursuit of tho almighty dollar they had neither time nor Inclina- tion for the study of anything else. That state of things, If It ever actually cxiste/l, w.Ts about tij end with the advance of the new era, which he welcomed most heartUj'.
flaynr Beckwlth seconded tho vole of thanks and stated that to him, as the executive head of the city of Victoria, the exhibition was extremely gratifying. He \rcrerrcd to the announcement made by Hon, Dr. Young regarding the gallery, and stated that It would be the best thing that could possibly happen in the interest of the de- volripment of the citizens along artistic and cultured lines.
Will Attract Best People
Mr. J. .T. .Shailcross. in supporting the motion, said that It should be their object to attract people of artistic temperament to this part of the country; and he was confident that the action of the govein- nienl, us suggested by the Hon. Dr. Ytiung, would go a long way in that direction. Turning to the exhiblllon. ho asked them to rtmember that the work contained there- in was the work of local talent. He Mumght it showed not only a wonderful activity on tha part of the responsible club but also a wonderful development on the spirit of art. It would bo a great thing If a school of art could be established in the city, and he was not without hope that In time his wish might be realized, for the government had already shown that it was not wholly taken up with the study of material things by setting aside a great area of land in th^ Island to be beautified and preserved as a playground for (he people.
The vote was heartily passed and the exhibition was open to the public.
The lirise drawing takes place this fore- noon. A large number of tickets have been sold.

Our evening contemporary seems to be devoting ' needless space to the dis- cussion of what can properly be called "Litquld Assets." As a matter of fact ■i the expression has no absolutely |lxed meaning in business. What one person might regard as a "liquid assot" an- other might not so classify. As a gen> eral rule what la understood by the term Is something that can readily be converted Into money at Its face value. A debt amply secured is a liquid as- set, because the creditor has a right to
but the telegram says there will be a surplus of feed. This raises a very In- teri'stlng question. What ought to be the policy of Alberta farmers under these conditions? The coarse gralnw, the hay and the straw, are very valuable nsscts and when converted Into beet would not only nupi>ly a market that can consume a great deal more than is offered, but wouUl prove a source of profit to the farniers. Moreover onco the farmers have embarked In a large way upon the .slall-feedlnK of (•attle, a revolution In methods of agriculture will have been begun. Mixed farming and dairying will follow as a matter of course, and this Implies a denser pop- ulation and the placing of the prosper- ity of the Prairie Provinces upon a less fluctuating basis than is to be ex- pected when everything Uopenda upon Wheat' "- .•'■■V ■
It Ifl a very fortunate thing that both lbs JDottilnion and Provincial govern- ments in Canada appreciate the Vijrr great importance of Investigating, deal- ing with experimentally and In every way encouraging the several phases of husbandry. In this way the individual farmer receives advice and assistance. Which a few years ago wore not avail- able to him. We know of no more in- teresting problem, or one of greater practical value, than that which is pre- sented by the conditions in Alberta to which reference Is above made. We venture the opinion that time will show

There is a marked revival in mining in I the southern interior of British Co- lumbia. The business aeems to be get- ting down to a solid basis. A good deal of time was needed to bring this about, but the prospects for the future seem very satisfactory.

This announcement ha.s a peculiar signlflcance to the condition of affairs porvallliig in Western (.."nnada and more especially does It closely affect our own interests as regards Brltl.sh Co- lumbia.

I think the Navy Leagues and all other leagues that are at present In existence ^or looking after the Inter- ests of our soldiers and sailors,' would co-operate iieartily in the project. Ar- rangements could be made whereby the pensions coming to the men could b« obmmuted. and this money would go a long wtiy towards dvercdmlng the preliminary expenses of transportation, etc., that would Itave fo i>e met in ttte nrst instance.
We are livinfr in an age when every- body seems puffed up with a certain false idea of importance regarding tba pretentlalltics and resources of Brit- ish Columbia, for. great a* they are, y^t as mnnltcly 4imall will they become unless something Is done whereby- the country Is settled with active workera in agricultural and industrial enter- rriscs.
The cost of living today in Victoria Is vexatious and the reason for it Is non-existent, but rather is it owing to the lack of a solid good land policy being in operation thereby precluding the country frorii being .tettled with In- dustrious workers enabling the neces-
~ sarles of life to be' produced at our doors rather than supplied us from abroad. It is' a well known fact in Victoria todajr, that even with t}i« im- port of mttk from Seattle, scores ' of families are unaiblo to obtain a daily supply, and this trealment.I had to ex-

But the other day It was publicly announced that Russia Is entering upon a big scheme for the betterment of Its peasant classes and I believe the whole world in general Is making changes with a view to encouraging the small farmer to settle on the land and there- by secure the prosperity of whatever country to which he may happen to be- long.

The artists and craftsmen and women of Vancouver Island are to be congratulated on the high level of ex- cellence shown In their work now be- ing exhibited at the Al«j;andra Clul>. The paintings and drawings are well displayed on large screens arransed round the wall.s of the hallrooin, while the exhibits of carving, enamel and needlework, and handicrafts of all klnd.s. are conveniently arranged for in- spection on tables running down the centre of the hall. !
To begin with the pictures, the cata- logue numbers commence on the first screen to the right of the entrance, and on this Bcrepii one may note No. 6, "BuBli li'ire, • .Shawnigan," by Mrs. Shallcross, as a clever little study, <iulet Intone and with a conimendnble reticence in the matter of unnecessary detail. -'^Wii^. hy Mls.s Kate Smith. who shoWplpveral other excellent ani- mal an<l" fllufe' subjects In the exhibi- tion, is a Bljetph- la ^U.s, entitled "Mid- day Heat," o«,%95j»(p;and men In strong sunlight.

both in design and coloring. Mr.l Mold's enamel work as also his inlaid and hiunmered copper exhibits are well worth seeing as marvels of good work- manship. The wood carving of Miss Grace Smith and Miss Hendry is most graceful and delicate, while the plaster cast of foliage by R. Dermott is one of the cleverest pieces of work In the sho".v.
Altogether artists and craftsmen alike deserve the highest j^ralse for the' high sitandurd lliey have attained, which has made the third exhibition of the Arts and Crafts Club a credit to that organisation, and a promise of further artistic progress for the Island.

this point,
Mo.st people loolted upon the bunch- >,-i-as3 and sasc-brusli country of very little value, except that the former might be used as cattle ranges. Now we know that where water can be got upon it, the finest crops In the world ( iin be grown, and we are beginning to understand that b> the Instrumentality of "dry ITarming" all of It may ba turned to hlguly profitable use. This observation t-ppiles to an area of very great dlmensionB. Our timber lends amJ the hillsides were looked upon un- til very recently as non-agricultural. We are learning that along ^ame of tlie higher levels there are very conalder- uble areas of • land well adapted to farming, the exl.stenco of which was not even suspected. In the earlier re- ports on the Upper Fraser Valley, tha timber was classed a« of no com- mercial value. ..;<»i|| "wo*^ problibly chiefly because It was at that time .so inaccessible- as to h\alte it not worth considering. The Minister of Lands went up and Insiuicted It, and he tells us that It Is a fine region from the .standpoint ot the lumberman, and that the construction oiT the Grand Trunk Pacinc will lead to the establishment of large ir.dustrles there. A few years ago The Colonlat pulillshed a statement to the effect that in .the Skeeria and Naas valleys there w|Ui much farming land. We were told '•ofiiclatly*' that we ought to be , more* careful about such sta:emcnts because we wiight mis-, lead the public . Now every oio ^Sihows that thj siatementVwas true.- Years ago government surveyors reported that the north end of Vancouver Island was well adapted for settlement. The reports were published in the sessional paper.'*, and forthwith foraotten by every person except the men who made them and one or two officials of the l^andH Department. Now every , one knows about it. And ."JO It has gone; .40 also has it gone In every newly opened country.
A f|uarter of a century ago the resi- dents of the State of Washington would tell an inc|utrer that there was some good farming land In the river ^ alleys, but that nio.'»t of tlie state was either ^v desert or so heavily tim- bered as to be valueless for farming. On an old map of New Brunswick there Is written ucro.ss what l.s now the great county of Aroostook, Maine, ond the smaller, hut eciually rich Carloton county, N. B. the words •'Good for no purpose whatever." Nearly overy one believed, that Northern On- tario, was good for nothing, iind we aU used to lument tliat the continuity of the Dominion wa.-* broken by the ex- istence of Biu-h a barren waste. Indeea we recall one much-tiuoted maga/.lne article which proved to the wrller'.'f sat- isfaction and to the discomfort of
• very one else that the exlstonee of Huch an area made the continued ex- l.stence of the Canadian I'Vderatlon possible. To quote a more ancient In- cident, away back in tho Seventeenth
• Vnturv. an exuedltlon, sent out to re- port as to the IltnpBS of eastern Can- ada and the State of Maine for colon- ization, • returne<l to .«fty that it was ■cold- and sterile and unfit for the hab- itation of English people." Tt l.s a pretty safe assumption that the flrst reports of any c.<untry fall to do it Justice.
Many people will remember when we were gravely a«."ured by so-called au- thorities that there wss no iron ore on Vancouver Island; and It Is not much more than half a doion years sine*- we were* told that there were no whales

•tVaet, hot the Use of it by the Pre- mier- at the Drill Hall banquet On that Qcluuilon!':^ Sir Biohard explained What ha «i«ant by liqltild assets, and he Included in them money in the banks and balances due on land sales. There !s. therefore, no need ot discussing whetlicr tho term was a correct one to employ in that connection, the only really Important quelklott being whether, or not such balanoas^con be cpnverted into cn«!h. .«?lr Richard tfilnks'thay. (Son' be, and .so we think does every one else. He thinks, and we fancy even our contemporary will agree with him. t'lat when a man has bought land at *2.50 per acre and made a part pay- ment on It. he ,would pay lip the bal- ance rather than lose It, geeing that similar land could not be bought for less than'IS.OO an acre; or that If the original purchaser was unable to com- plete the ptirobase. some ons else would be idad to do so. the soms «•• mark applies to^ land bought at |5.00 an acre before the rise in price. Our contemporary asks why Sir- Richard did not Include our unsold Crown lands In his "liquid toalande." He might have done so. if he were presenting a gen- eral balance sheet; but he did not do so, and we do not see what point can be niade out of the fact that he did not do so.
Our contemporary asks how much these purchased lands would bring If tlic government were compelled to auction them. ' In our humble Judgment they w:ould bring a great deal more than any balances that may bs due upon thi^m. May we suggest to our "Contemporary that, while It may be good politics to make every reel Or Imaginary point against the Mc- Bride administration, it lis hardly patriotic to seek to convey the Im- pression that the Crown lands of Brit- ish Columbia are worth les."? than the selllnff price. We do not really sup- pose that our contemporary does any harm by such a cotirse, because ao one takes it seriously. Nevertheless It (if>"s not seem ntilto ritrlil to in.sln- unle that flrsl-cla.ss agricultural land in British -Columbia would not bring $5.00 an acre at public auction.

The Citizens' Committee, which has the matter of rail connection in hand, was called together , yesterday to hear a report of ' the present state of its work. Nothing new was brought out, and the committee contented Itself with thanking Mi:. Borden and Mr. Burrell for th.e Interest they had exhibited In tho matter and with conllrmlng recent correspondence carried on by the chair- man.
Tile condition In which the matter stands Is as follows: The prime minis- ter is endeavoring to get in touch with Mr. Waddel) the eminent bridge expert, with a view to engaging him to inves- tigate the project from an engineering point of view, but up to tho pre.sent, so far as Is known, hu has been unable to do so. The assumption is that as soon Hs Mr. Waddell can be communicated with he will be delegated to tlie task, as he is ready to undertake it. If this proves to be the case, and there is no reason to .suppose it will not be, the efforts of the delegation which- went to Ottawa will be completely successful.
There Will, however, remain other thing!" to bo done In respect to this work, and the committee will continue Iti actlvlUes.
rural population of the five easttim'inio- vlnces decreased 38,826, and the urban population Increased 776,846. which is not Just the way things ought to be. In the four western provinces the^ rural .population increased 610,501 and the urban population BOO.SIS. This is bet- ter, but even in the-West the towns are growing too rapidly in proportion to the rural population.
Mr. H. Va; I^KMTiedltli, manager of the Bank of at*«bl»iwb in -an interview pub- llshed In "Canada," discusses rates on municipal loans. He expresses the opin- ion that tlie municipalities will have, to pay more than they have been paying, not because municipal sectiritics are not aa good as ever, but because the price Of money has advanced. He also says
supply by retaining the order of a lady who was going to the old coun- try. The prices oaked for ihit ordinary commodities and necessaries of life In Victoria is food for thought, and It Is the olil saying of "bringing coal to Newcastle" repeating Itself in our midst. :
With all, the great supply of fruit In the province at the present time. ^'^ are toiJay in Victoria importing largo quantities of same from . eteross the line, though in Calgary and othier points fritlt from British Columbia cannot And a market and has rotted and become a dead loss. Can any man stop to reason tills out without finding hlmsplf perplexed and absolutely In a chaotic condition to account for sarne?

hoped they will not "hide their light under a bushel," Though perhaps they s,r« not desirous of be<:oining i>t|blloly ostentatious, yet I urge tho,»n * td iSv* the benefit of their fxpertanco in ex- pressing an opinion regarding the jinJ", f«rtant subject of colonising and settling this jprovlnce wljh the practi- cal farmer, who with a small holding can imake a good comfortable living and be satisfied with his lot.
There is a time in the tide of this province's affairs when the unfortunate greedy disposition that prevails for selling the land either as subdivisions or mythical BH Dorados— at present at prices ridiculous and ■ absurd — will cease. The laws of political economy will step in and I know will always be found a benefit for the right man In the right place. The Wheel of Fortune Will not revolve In such an extrava- gant manner as It does at the .present In regard to the sale of land at" prices that prevent the most sclentlflc farmr'^ adopting the most Intense form o. farming, from making a living.
These statements are made by ,mo, as a result of careful Investigation, and while 1 am quite jirepared t<> 1^^ the man of ■.«'>"«■■>- pay for land that he Is buying «i dence site, yet I do
not think we .^nould be informed at the present time by the moneyed man that land for farming should be bought at prices ranging around *1,P00 per aero and expect it to be remunerative.

Some lOngllsh contemporaries are de- precating what they call the disposition of wage-earners in Canada to speculate in real estate. It Is very easy for any one several thousand miles away to lay down general rules for a community. What is called "speculation of wage- earners," is very often only tho legiti- mate effort of such persons to get themselves liomes, or to put their sav- ings Into real estate. As a general proposition the average Canadian wage- earner knows what he Is about when he buys a pleee of land.

It ought not be difficult for any one to dlscovnr a valid reason for Increasing the sale price of Crown lands. The pricfe has been raised sr-veral times In the history of British Columbia. We think there was a time a good many years ago, when some land sold for 25 cents an acre. I'-or a long time, it cotild be bought for a •dollftr an acre. Then the price was $1.00, t2.50 and |5.00, according to quality. Then the $1.00 price was abolished and lastly, the $2.60 land was doubled in price and ho was the 16.00 land. We would suppose that oven an opponent of the Rovernment would not object to these advances in prices as the land itself becomes more valifable.

I»roperty Held in Trus' Sir,— I see bur old friend, the Dr., iR still keeping an eye on Beacon Hill jvark: long may he live to do so. Would you be kind enough .to assisl nifi with a tannic that another park has got Into. Some years ago the late Mr. Koderlck Finlayson informed me of how certain lands over in James Bay had been left in trust to he sold nX •«ome future day for the purpose of purchasing other lands for park r>'i"- pose.s. A few years ago the govern- nient passed an act of parlliiment authori'/.ing the .sale of llu' .said land and removing the trust from the same: tho net stntes ttuit the money received from the sale of the said land can only •tic used for the purchase and improve- ment of other lands for park purposes, but it says nothing of being held in trust. The late Mr. Tatlow lent ii letter to the city council which '.s now In the iiosKcs.slon of Mr. Northeott. whlr'h lUntes tlmt the money received from the sale from the -•laid land could only be used lu the purch.t.se of certain lands from the Finlayson estate, which is now known as North Ward park.
The rlty, in it-" nnnual reports, puts down this land ns n saleable asset. 1 Interviewed Mr. Raymur, tellinr him I thought this was wronp, that this land should be the same as Beacon Hill, that this was trust property, he denied il. I then went with Mr. Northeott. and wc took the act, likewise Mr Tatlow'n letter, and laid the case be- fore Mr. McDiarmld. Mr. McDnrmM elalmed that he could only li\terprel (t from the act, nnd not froni Mr. ThI- low'.i letter, and that as the city held the deed of tho property thcv were perfectly right In puttlnit- it down up 0 «nle,able usset the same ns if it liH'l been boughl by the city's own money.

After such a list of fore'^gn activities, it is somewhat disappointing to revlow what little has been done by Canada to prepare for the opening of the oanal. We are told by Mr. Barrett that Can- ada will run two new direct lines, re- si)ectlvely, from Vancouver and Mont- real to the corresponding coasts of Latin America. It has been sUted also that a new line of steamers from Can- ada's Atlantic to Pacific coast will be inauguriited. The Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa, we under- stand, lias asked Its trade commission- ers in various countries to report on the probable effects on Canadian trade, of the opening of the canal.
Aside from belated and somewhat vague proposals to Increase the oom- merclal strength of our Pacific coast, little else is being done by the Domi- nion to meet new conditions The rail- ways arc h-BMnlnv thair own ootmsel. but may be expected to be ready for the Panama canal when that waterway Is ready for them.

Mr. H. B.

Mr. Waddell, was one of the best of engineers, would be a valuable per- son to make tTie surveys and there was no doubt but thnt when he had gone over the ground lie will find that the first estimates of coat were too liigh.
Mr. Behnsen was also convinced that the committee can rely upon the keen Intercut of the federal ministers who woul<l make themselves thorouglily con- versant with tho growing needs of Van- couver Island.
Alderman Cuthbert stated thit Hon. Mr. Monk, minister of public work.i, Is fully alive to the needs of the province and hfid .stated that wliere public works arc reQuir«(l the necessary financial sup- I>oi-t would be forthcoming from the Kovornmcnt.
generous modifications Intendod to be u^ielul for our honeit Liberal frlnnda. were made aa to length of residence necessary to entitle persons to a vote. "It would appear from the dlsclo.s- ures sini'e the election, that the party workers, In their enlliuslnxrn, also very kindly remo\ert (.ertaln other oliHtacles fur the accommodation of their Ameri- can friends, thereby BwelUng tlielr ma- jority at the polls. We. now Intend to see If these things can stand the light of day. At least, mention of It will l>e made wlien parliament op-ns, and we hope that the Dominion government may also look into the n\alter, and thut the election will ultimately be disal- lowed."
As an evidence of the fact that not
all of Saskatchewan is as ardently
wedded to reciprocity as the Liberals
would have it appear, Mr. WyUe cited
the fact that atCumberlHnd, nortli of

"Reclprdcity la not as strong now In Saskatchewan as «t t^M last dominion election," Mr. Wylla said. "One of the reasons probably Is that the farmers have been getting better prices recently at Winnipeg than^at Minneapolis, which seems to destroy a very vital Liberal argument."
Mr. Wylle made the prediction that Premier Borden's forthcoming announce- ment on the much discussed naval pro- gramme would prove satisfactory to every loyal Canadian.
As to crops, Mr. Wylle declared that the harvest this season In Saskatche- wan has been entirely satisfactory.
"It has been one of the best crops in ths history of the pfevlnte, and we have

Boyal Oak Xnatltuta— A special ses- sion of the Royal Oak Women's Institute wa.s held in the town hall on Wedhiesday and Thur.sday In order that the members might benc-rit from a series of lectures on drefsmakid.i,-. Mrs. Stacey, the de- mon.«!trator, carefully explained the use of patterns, their adaptlbllity to vari- ous figures, the proper mode of cutting out, basting and Joining logether for skirts, coats and one-pleco dresses. Plf- flcultles .which the home dresmaker en- I'ounters were explained, and those who attended were much pleased -with Mrs. .Stucoy's clever, practical work. There were twenty present, and it Is regre|;ted that more did not avail themselves of this opportunity to learn this homely science from one who knows. launch was served In the hall by the refresh- ment committee, after which Mrs. llan- Ington gave a short but interesting talk on the work being done by the different Institutes she had visited. She congrat- ulated the members on the way the women's Institutes endeavored to meet fhe pressing needs of their several com- n-.unllles. Mrs. Hanington was to have lectured In the evening on Canadian l).ntriotlsm, btil a.i few of Diosc prrsent (ould attend an evening seaslon, it litis lieen arranged to have her speak some Sdturday In the near future, -tvhen the children of the public schools of the dis- trict may be present also.
British Oampalgnars — .\t a meetlntr of the British Campaigners la.st night, six new members were eU'cted wltli services covering the South Africtn war, the Tlrah campaign and the Crimea. A satisfactory account of the convalescence of the pre.sldent. Major Wilson and al.so that of Captain Curtds was received with cheers. Mr. Beau- mont Bogg.o. the ohalvman, reported a cotivprsntlon with II. R. ft. the Gover- nor-General on the occasion of the par- ade at paj-liament buildings, in which His Royal Highness expressed the grat- inciitloo It gave him to have met vet- ern-ns of such long and varie<l service, and he made comment on the m-ldent prosperity of all of them.

Tl»»t Qiovannt t>taOhettl, a workmeiri engaged on rook excavation ' on tlio Sooka Lake development work, Was ac- cidentally killed by the explosion of a charge of dynamite ||i» Wftck powder in a cut near the W^StOn House on Tuesday t||fn»Ulf« was the verdict of the coroner's Ju»y which yesterday after- noon Investigated the circumstatices of the case.
In returning Its verdict, the Jury in- dicated, without formally Incorporating ita opinion In Us verdict, that It is about tlNt^^Mme action Is taken towards pre- WUUiil#a. recurrence of acldents which are due to extreme catelfssness on the part of men engaged in using dynatnlte
■for rock blasting puiT(>Qses. The cvl- donce showed that the hole in which the mixed charge was placied had been "sprung" but two hours before, and therefore could not possibly ba\-e cooljied off fluficiently to permit black pOwdiir t«> be safely deposited therein.
Two Of deceased's fellow workmen," Pisnnti SabattHQ and O. Matteo, both experienced xmUkumiU while knowing of this, yet placed Hhe five sticks of dyna- tntte^atong with a consldeiable quan-
;tl|[y.«< black powder in the hole, and !t 1# "•iinlliised that the heat engendered by tlie "springing" of the hole exploded the powderyijDd set off the dvnamite Oiachcttr%*|^^orking in a rock cut be- neath and was' buried by rocks and dirt when the-charge exploded, heavy pieces of rock striking him down.
Coroner Hart, jn explaining tfli^^Jk*- lury the action of the explosl^i||||nK cJared that It was absolutely unsttfrii^ allow a change of 'powder to be placed In a hole which JljM^ilippn "sprung" but «tWO hours bef6r**Sf(l^;|S^ held many in- aitests on Occident victims killcfl in sim- ilar manner, and had invariably found that Italians, when holding contracts for such work, seldom take sufficient time, before laying the iniiin charge, to allow t>>e holf«,||frjw»l|^ off.
In _ the' ca8e.:AyiM|iMlC'^-' working for wages for anftfter diiWtractor, they do not object to taking all the time neces- sary. In the present case Sabatino and Matteo, who were holders of a stib-con- tract. were apparently anxious to rush work and take a chance on accidents. The amount of carclesness shown on such contracts had become a scandal. The Jury was composed of Messrs. Thomas McKee, foreman; Guy W. Walker, .lohn McPherHon, Leonard Bailey, R. A. Bell and J. McDonald.

About rlaga
A great deal l.s being- Kald lately In this province about lionurtng the flug. It Is. perhaps, well that we should be- ware, leat while trying to Inculcate pa- triotism we Iniiilant a narrow attcl In- tolerant spirit. The following article from The Toronto Mall and Kmpire shows the sort of thing that too often liappen.s In the schools on Uie other side of the- line, as wi»ll as the attitude taken by Intelligent and roally patri- otic people In the United States. The patriotism that leads to disregard for the feelings of others will not do either children or their elders any good:
".Some attention has been attracted to th« oaae of.' a seventeen-year-old boy named iHjofrtc Temple, «k ptu^ent at the pubUc Wgji ^ school' In •Q'v<^.

'a* American bgy In a British schodl asked to pledge hfmssif to the British flag— one of the Ameri- can boys in Oxford linlverslty. by ylrtup of winning a Rhodes schptarshlp,

TW'.^Bip^ljgB.l'ISagle ^.refers' to at «s an abai|M!?i;,:^|g controversy. It says that Mr: TeiiiiHe,; as an alien, pays taxes, and in return Is entitled to edu- cation for his children. That this un- ciuestloned right can be made to de- pend on the cliild's forced swearing of allegiance, to a country other than the one his father owes allegiance to Is pure imagination on the part of the school board. The Eagle says tliat forced oaths of allegiance may be .-tU right in Russia, but tlicy are out of place In a republic. ]f Mr. Temple were not proud of his Britisli citizen- .•ihip there would he something wrong with him. It concludes by remarking that If anything should convince him that he should not change his alleg- iance It would he the mcthod.s of the Cedar Grove .School board. The Boston Globe say,s the question should he net- tled by supposing the case of an Ameri- can lad asked to swear allegiance to the British flaR because he was attend- ing an Kngllsh school. With leading American newspapers taking this at- titude Canadians need not Worry them- selves over it. but can depend upon the good sense of the American people seeing no Injustice Is done lo Mr, Temple and his son.
but knew that they would be ejected. What did they do? Men, In the same case, would liavc gone In force suffl- clent to have carried the meeting, or thpy would have kept away. Not so the women.
They went. Few Jn number they went. But they; weht, not armed, but armored. lOacti woman was literally en- cased in a spiked coat of mall. It was a device too simple and ingenious for a man to think of. Eadi woman wore a fiullted and padded coat In which thou- sands of pins were concealed with their points outward. There was nothing in the appearance of the dress of these women to betray the existence of these spikes, but when an>body seized or crowded against one of these women, the result was physically painful and morally shocking.
That these weaker vessels should thus employ cunning against force, that leading and Influential citizens should get their hands pierced by a. hundred l)in8 When mildly standing forward in .(t^e Interests of law and order, as their nthers had done before them, Is, to aay the least of It, upaettlng. Imagine a Welsh Justice of , the peace, a man of property ah^ faroll^r^ ai^ft^ist. wbqm no dog had ever barked,, shevinf .hi* dis- tinguished hands against one of U>ese living pin cushions:!,,
The worst Is to be, feared. 1ifom»n. the Kneniy has resources men wlpirnot of. It might be well to discuss terms.

riower Culture
The people of Tertland are not satis- fied to be considered the most success- ful rose growers of the northwest. They v.ant to be distinguished as cultivators of the sweet pea. The newspaper edit- ors are praising the pretty and fragrant flower and urging all gardeners to make a speciality of Us culture...
In Victoria the sweet' pea coihea: to Krcat perfection. Neither Portland nor any other city could excel us In its cul- tivation If Ave aided nature buf a little. As for roses, Victoria could plant and train a great many more than she does. This Is the time of year, is it not. to prepare for next summer's bloom. Most of u.s have generous neighbors who are willing to share their treasures with Us, as we are eager to do ourselves with those who have room for what wo can spare, a few choice plants can be add- f<\ as we can afford it.
It will not take long till the smallest garden Is a delight, not only to the owner, but to every one who passes if but a little time and labor are devoted t.) its culUvation. There arc not many things that the avoraire citizen can do that will confer a more general benefit than the growing of flowers. Not only sweet peas and roses, but chrysanthe- mums and many baautles of the late summer season will amply repay tlie rare bestowed upon them. There Is ho reason why Victoria sliould not bacomt; a Gucoe.s.sfiii rival of the beautiful Ort- Kon city.
A Man's Views
The Toronto Star, In an article which contains some food for refkctlon, writes in a sarca.stic view under the caption of "Wuinan, the liln.'my," of what is Incorrectly called the woman's movcmpnt There are women In Can- aiia who welcome the agitators from Oriat Britain but there arc imt lnaIl^•. The spread of their propaganda will not be welcomed by the Canadian women wlio hnve up to the present looked upon themselves as the helpmates of their husbands and the comrades of their brothers. But we will let The Star t<'ach Its own lesson In its own way:
Men know very little about women as yet. So far. men have studied wo- nun only as mother.*, wives, sisters, and how-d'ye-do's and It is to be feared that the knowledge so acquired Is supcrflclal. 11 certainly seems so.
Man is now confronted hy Woman, the Enemy. Or, at least. In some places this most unnatural of all wars has been declared.
If this strife beconries general. It will, we fear, make the wars of the Boses and the Civil war In . the United States seem tame in comparison.
Kipling, nearer the present scene of disturbance than we are, declares that the female of the species Is more deadly than the male. Dickens, In his story of the French Revolution, portrayed for us an Implacable woman who wove into b«r knitting death warrants for those w1»om men of the most ferocious chSr- aeter would have ftparnd. And now comes news from 'Wales.
Mr. Isloyd Qsoitge held a meeting In hi* nauva Vwuntry; 0«iff nig««te« wutted to go la order to «tm.Ui a dtoturtMiacc,
tern — that Is. two sets of fv^o ludges In, say, draft clashes, who shall decide the championshitm it^ »■ body. In this, ivay he believes the personal equation on the part- of an Individual Judge may -be-re— dueod ..to, a minimum and more uniform judgmg aepuredithrpugbout the .country- 'The <^nadlani^rm,.hfA,«}v article on "Marketing : British CottimtJlan Fruit Crop," the pith of which Is that better prices In the prairie markets will not be obtainable until large co-operative packing and shipping organizations aro formed at each large shippipK centre and all the fruit shipped through them. These organisations should also have their jobbing . agents in the northwest- ern cities, or at any rate a share in the jobbing houses.
Tlie Fanner's Advocate devotes con- siderable space 'to an accourit f>f the government farm kept in connection with the hospital for the in.=ane at IjOtidon, Ontario. Dr. Vf. J. Robinson, the manager, has built up a magnifi- cent herd of milking cows averaging 8+9.T pounds of milk for the fifty ani- mals kept. In Other departments beef cattle are studied, horticulture, poultry and reforestation all receive attention and are made to produce commercial profits under the most scientific and modern methods o' culture.
The Pearl Oyster
In the Interesting paper which Dr, H. Lyster Jameson read at a session of the British Association on pearl producing industries he stated that th.^ Japanese pearl oyster Industry was the only instance known to him of the ivpulication of biological knowledge and theory to the Improvement of the In- dustry, A few years ago the l.'nitcd States government appointed a body of experts to Investigate this subject. The results of their work are con- tained in an elaborate report which has Just been presented to the 'UnUed .States bureau of fisheries,.
The experts carried out eXtMnslV* experiments to test 'the possibilities of of artificially proipogatlng fresh water mussel.'". T)ils work wno nndertoken becausi' of the threatened extinction of the commeicial species, whose shfUs have been taken in enormous nuantltles in recent yoius. both for the manufac- ture of pearl buttons and for the pearls which tlie.v freciucntly foutaln. Yenr» have been spent in studying the breed- ing habits .i;\il seiisoiui of the musels, the biological and physical conditions under which they live, and many other essential matters. The results of these 'experiments are not yet comolete, but the experts ftate that thev have pro cccded far enough to ni.iko It clear that the ultlinatu end of the investigation in .assured.
Oyster culture after ail Is no novelty, having been practised by th*- Uoninn' Dr. .Tameson referred to the dlsantrous fiiU'ire of the company promoted hy Sir West nidgeway, In 1906, to exploit the Ceylon pearl banks. Thin unfor- tuniile result wa.s due partly to tiic absence of any attempt scientifically to develop the banks, and the grounds which were leased to the compnruv by the colonial office are now being taker, back.

"Punishment varying -from acquittal to a life disqualification from the game is meted out.
"Twice a week training and practice is carried out by the senior teams, mostly at night. Practice during the day is more beneficial, but, unfortun- ately, men having their professions or business to attend to can not usually get to the field before 7.30 o'clock In the evening.
"Eaclf cf the ten first grade clubs controls a playing field, and often a large hall with an earthen floor cov- ered with tanbark on which to handle the ball and study team work.'
"The team is directed iii its manoe- uvres by tho captain, but (please note) any suggestion as to the betterment of the side is open to free discussion. Worthy suggestions are considered and tried out right away. It is then mutually settled. If the new tactics — stunts, you call them— aro adopted, they are further tried out during the game on the following Saturday aftcr- nooJHj-\-'.i*''f-jj' . _
"A^tr"""fll'rther wetiknesaea noticed during the games from time to time are thrashed out, and. If possible, rectified.
"Every reasonable means is taken, Chiefly with the aid of a blackboard and chalk, to create a general under- standing among tho players. This tends toward better combination and uniformity, thereby strengthening the Bide.
"Cnre la taken to make practice night as cheerful and pleasant as pos- sible. The nights, other than when the irtoon, shines brightly, aro too dark to practice kicking and fielding, so the members mako the most of running around the field. At the commence- ment of the season they might run four or five miles slowly; later the pace is increased and tho distance de- creased; still later In thu season, sharp sprinting work should be carried out.
"Bear in mind that no coaches are employed — other than when some en- thusiastic lover of tho game .offers his services gratis, chiefly to school teams. Everything is peacefully settled by the players thcm.sclvcs. However, to select the teams from week to week, three men aro elected annually by club inenibor.<<, inxari.-ilily inchullng tlio CHptaln.
"When the first teams are in want of a player, they draw on the seconds, and so on right down to the schools.
"Again, we strongly ob.iect to having Ins-tructlon.s shouted at us from other than tho captain during the progress of a game.
"It a man Is fully primed up with what he is expected to do before go- ing on the field, and he falls to carry his part through, he \s not chosen again to play; he drops back to the lower grade until his weakness Is overcome. .\U the rooting or shouting poaaiblo can not improve matters."

From what hflCs been aeen of thj work of the first division teams ao far the Wests and Thlatles appear to be th best bets, with the Sons of England pressing hard for that honor.

BROWN EXPECTED TO
WIN SIDNEY MARATHON
Today four James Bay boxers go over to Vancouver to compete tonight in an intercity tournament at tlio new home of the Vancouver Athletic Club. They are Albert Gerard, 115 lbs.; Jack Clem- ents, 125 lbs.: .Scotty McKay, 135 lbs., and Chris Geor/jes, 15S lbs.
Gerard is a clever little fellow, but he has his work cut out for him tonlg-ht. He Is to be pitted against Bert Hughes, whom Vancouver patrons of the sport believe to bo tho best bantam on the Pacific Coast They do not except Al Davies, the local bantam, who now holds the coast championship, hut If Gerard should happen to win bis bout tonight they would be forced into the conclusion that Hughes is no match lor Davies. Davies outpointed Gerard eas- ily at the last local tournament.
Scotty McKay is a likely point winner tonlKht. In fact. It Is practically certain that "Scotty" will beat his opponent, Jack .Smith. He met Smith at the la.st tournament here and knocked him out in about two minutes. Jack Clements, of the James Bay Club, is Koing up against a namesake of his, Stanley Clements, of the V. A. C, and Chris Georges will probably enter the rinjf ajjaln.st OH Martin.
Gil Martin Is the welterwelgrht nmn- tfur champion of Canada, and la cer- tainly more than Georges can liaudlc, but Georges intends to make the cham- pion extend himself. There was some talk In Vancouver papers of Mat Cott, Victoria's most promising middleweight. Koing over to meet Martin, but Cott will not go.

LONDON. Oct 17.— In the Ru^b* .^j^tbal) jt^^ today, the Soutli AfrU
A movement is on foot to have an Intermediate Intercity Rugby series started on lines similar to the Mc- Kechnle Cup series for the senior teams. The intermediate clubs of the Vancouver Rugby Union have come to the conclusion that it is time that a provincial championship for their di- vision was organized, and ere commu- nicating with Victoria In this connee- tlon.
There is no doubt at all of the value a series of such a kind would be to Rujby In British Columbia, but there la an ob*tac"e in the way of its forma- tion; there are no "ao-called" Inter- mediate players In Victoria.
Unless Vancouver Rugby men mer willing to allow some of the weaker players in the Barnard Cup league, which is •! senior organisation, to play In these piatchea there does not aeem to be an/ chance that t)\« proposed aerlea will materlal'lae.

Victoria Professional Soccer Team to Play Nanaimo for Trophy at Close of Island League^ Season
The Victoria professional soccer team will make an effort to win tho Nanaimo Challenge cup this season. Tho secretary of the local club made this announcement last night. The match or matches will likely be played after the close of the Island League season.
The Challenge cup was put up by the citizona of Nanaimo five or six years ago. and was proaentwl to tho Nanaimo football team. The Nanaimos have only been called on to defend It once against Ladysmlth about four years ago. They beat Ladysmlth, and .•«inc<! then have been l'>ft In undisturbed pos- session of the trophy. One of the con- ditions on which the cup was presctited Is that It must be played for in Nanaimo.
Victoria Teanilfor Saturday The Victorias are putting a strong team In the field against the Nanaimo ITnltedsln the IsLahd League fixture at the Royal Athletic park tomorrow. Tho forward line has been strengthened by the return of Wllkle and Whlttakrr to the club, and according to the local players. If the miners win thin Satur- day they will field a strongcf aggrega- tion than they did last Sunday, when they beat Victoria 2 to 1.
The game tomorrow will start at 3 o'clock. Mr. J. R. Allen has been se- lected to referee. The Victoria team follows: Goal) Doufean; backs, Newlunds and Miller; halves, Thomas. McAdam and Wllaon: forwards, Wllkie, AlU^n, Piekpring. WhlttaUer and Mulr; re- serves. Josh and Conlln.
have made at tho I^hiJadelphla baseball park at the last series played there with the Xew York team; an accu.'sa- tion alleged to have been made that the manager o-f the St. Louis Club weakened his team by playing substi- tutes .so that New York could win, and charges made by AVilllam Bren- nan, an umpire, whose I'airne.s.s wis said to have been Impugned by Mr. l-'ogel. •
National League magnates, it Is said, aro going to have a thorough house-cleaning, and it is not unlikely that they will severely punish, both fogel and C. W. Murphy, owner of the Chicago Club.
Just what they can do to Murphy they do not know, but they Intend to call
