A Gift for the Archives Canada's historical coll. union is to be enriched by a gift received by the gov- ernment under curious circumstances. The donor is Mrs. B. M. Mastln, of Stratford-on-Avon, whose father, Steven Mastin. was for sixty years a page In the household of the Duchess of Kent and the late Queen Victoria, a godson of the former and afterwards one of the Queen's private almoners.

Mrs. Mastin has written to express her deep Interest in the loyalty of the Canadian people and to state that she pioposos, as a mark of this Interest, to bf^stow. for tlie benefit of the Canadian muaeuui, her collection of rare olijpcls given by Queen Victoria and othsr mem- bers and connections of the royal house- hold. A reply is being forwarded by Ihf diecUon of Hon. Geo. H. Perley, act- ing premier, gladly accepting the col- lection and expressing very high appre- ciation of the spirit In which the don- ation is given. Mrs. Mastln's -wishes, it i.s undnrstood, will be judiciously carried out by the archivist.

Applying lo notices? of In- corporations granted during the past few months. It wouid appear that the receipts from this source must net the ederal exchequer an average of about 40,000 a month. During the week tho ol lowing companies have been Incor- porated: B. F. Sturtevant Company of Canada, engines and aerop';\nes, capital $,^)0,000; GouUVs Puiijp Compny of Can- ada, capital $50,000; Franco-Belgian Investment Co., capital $100,000; North British Securities Co., capital $25,000: tVie Fire Prevention Company wf Can- ada, capital $50,000; all with h^dquar- ters in Montreal.

The mo.st import.int incorporation granted during tlip week was that of the Dominion Dridce Co., with a cayiUal of ten million dollar.", with headnuar- tcrs at Machine, near Montreal. The charter of this company enables it to enter Into a working agreement with other concerns In the same line of man- ufacture.

Incorporations have also been granted to the North American .lowelry Co., of 'St. .John's, Quebec, with a capital of $50,000; the Canada Steel Goods Co., of Hamilton, capital $6no,000; the York Publishing Co., Toronto, capital $SO,000; the Montreal Cafeterias Co., capital $50,000 and the Gordon Davles Co., Ltd., meats and provisions, Haileybury, Ont., capital $25,000.

The statement emanating from Montreal and crediting tho O. T.

That of- ficial is the arbitrator In deciding when the road is ready for operallnn. It Is thought here that the company will be only too glad to avail itself of the leas- ing privilege upon -which It has tho first oall.

He said: .."'There will be more lunatics in the wJ«rld than sane people three hundred years hence. This prophecy is based on the present rate of the growth of lunacy revealed by recent returns. We are rapidly approaching a mad world. In every part of the world civllatibn la advancing and so insanity Is bound to advance. There were 36,762 lunatics in 185D, there are now 135.000."

The United Stales will not see, "without grave concern," said the Sen- ate, "any suitable naval or military site pass iiito the control of a foreign corporation" when- such possession "might threaten the communication or safety of the United States."

So vital were the Issues discussed in the Lodge resolution whicli set forth the policy of the United States as to points situated "like Magdalena bay in Low-er California," that the doors of the Senate were closed for three hours while the resolution was debated in secret session.

Notwithstanding the al- most unanimity of the Senate upon the note of warning, it is understood the riieasure did not have the official eotlorsement of the administration. It was framed' entirely outsjde the State department and It is understood the executive branch of the government was not consulted with regard to tho Senate's pronouncement.

The resolution arose from the re- ported attempt of the Japanese syn- dicate to secure land about Magda- lena bay. In the form finally adopted by the Senate, it declares against the acaui-sltion of any threatening loca- tion by a foreign corporation "which has such a relation to another gov- ernment, not .\mprlcan, as to give that government practical power of control for naval or military pur- pose."?."

PARIS, Aug. 2.--Le .lournal says this morning that an unknown man called on Thursday at the British e.m- bassy with a picture, which Isf sup- posed to bo the missing Mona lAan, the masterpleee of Leonardo da Vinci, which mysteriously disappeared from the Louvre last August.

The man", the paper, de<:lares, says that he had been charged by a person in London to restore the picture 1.0 the Louvre and asked the ambassador to infoiMn tho French authorities, de- claring that he would rclurn to tho embassy on Friday. He desired to take the picture away with him, but the ambassador refused to permit it to leave the embassy.

The minister of the Interior was communicated with by the embassy authorities and sent experts to the om'bnssy who examined the picture but refused to make a statement concern - ing it.

The newspaper jrays the unknown man returnet;! to the embassy on Fri- day morning and was. given the pic- ture, but on. leaving the building was arrested by detectives. According to' Lo Journal, a member of the British embassy who saw tlie picture, says it was painted on an old wooden panel and absolutely resembled the stolen ■masterpiece, though it seemed to hlni that the hands of the subject were aiiightly different from those he had 8iN;>n in the plctuTc of the Mona Lisa when It hung In the Louvre.

Fisheries Department at Otta- wa Had Already Ordered Measures of Protection Asked for by Board of Trade

Mr. F. H.

H. Todd .& Sons' fi.sh traps a I Sooke. On ar- rival he was apprised of the action of the council of the board of trade at the meeting held earlier in the day. and heartily approved of the same.

Mr. Shepherd had, however, antici- pated the action of the' board of trade in urging the appointment of a night patrol, as ten days ago he wired the deputy minister of marine and fish- eries urging such service and In re- sponse received the following telegram from the deputy minister:

"Ottawa, July 24. "F. H. Shepherd, M.P.,

"Nanalmo. "Inspector being instructed tpke Im- mediate steps • to prevent poaching complained of.

"ALEX. JOHNSON." Since arriving in the city last even- ing Mr. Shepherd wired the acting pre- mier. Hon. Mr. Geo. H. Perley, strong- ly supporting tho telegram dispatched by the council of the board of trade.

The telegram to Hon. Mr. Perley, which was authorized at the "meeting of the council of the board and -which was sent during the forenoon, was as follnwp;

"American poachers robbing salmon flsb-trdps In Stralt.<( at night. Have attacked watchmen with firi;arms.

Please wire Instructions to officer In charge of patrol service to make necessary provision for nlwht protection without a moment's delay. Fear serious complications will arise If trapmen are left to protect their own interests."

LONDON, Aug. 2.— The Caflton Club lonlglit, for the fiixt: lime in its liistory, opened its doors to non-members when they entertained to a dinner the premier of Canada and his ministerial coffeagues.

Walter Long, Sir Max Aitken, D. Macmaster, General Pole- Carew, Sir Edward Coates, Major W'g- ram and Sir Thomas Lawrence.

rt was considered filling to slgnallaa the importance of tiie Canadian mlUr Isters' presence at this juncture, by welcoming them, not as strangers, but as British Britons.

A ^lea fox Pref aranoa Mr. Bonar Law, on rising to propose "Our gue^s," declared: "Although we are members of a political party. It Is not as partisans we welcome you. We take no share in Canadian politics and the last thing in the world we should desira is political alliai)co between the Conservative party la Britain and Can- ada,

"What is necessary today," aald Mr. Law. "is co-operation not only In time of war, but of peace as well. That is why wc advocate imperial preference. We look forward to the time when the seK-governlng dominions will share Ihcir responsibility with the empire. The difficulties arc great, but not too great as when Hamilton formed tha union of the United States. It is a good omen for the empire that the great Can- iidian header has come to discuss tha ijuestion of Imperial defence, The po- sition is serious, but it has one advan- tage;. tlia.t outside pressure tends to weld together the d'ff»vent nart» of the empire."

Borden for Zniperlal Ooafsdsratlon Premier Borden, in responding, ex- pressed his great appreciation of th* club for the honor conferred, and em- pliaHixed the work of confederation In Canada, and suggested It might prove an inspiration and guide In the wider and greater task of Imperial confeder- ation.

Speaking on the naval negotiations. be said he would return to Canada with valuable information and would confer with his colleagues upon the proposals, and arrive at a result, which he believed would make forf^he strengthening of the empire.

Alberta Mltrei — After

Unique Surgical Operation Was Performed

LETHBRIDGE, Alta., Aug. 2.— Albert Yaguf, a Coleman nilnel-, who met with an accident In the mines' at Cole- man near here nearly two years ago, from the effect of which his "jaws have been Interlocked since that date, has been discharged from the Coleman miners' hospital, cured.

On June 7, 1010. while at work in the mines. Vaguf was caught between a car and the wall of the mine and severely crushed. When conveyed to the hospital and examined It was found that the chief injuries were to his head and face. His jaws were broken In several places and his face and head bsdiy cut and bruised. Pus formed In woimds and It was months before they healed, lenvln? the man'.s jaws (Irmly interlocked. Since that time until the operation. Yaguf has been sustained entirely on lUiulds. He was repeatedly urged to .submit to an operation in the hopes of releasing the lnt»?rl'icked jaw.s, but steadfastly refused. The coal company was pay- ing him a monthl.v Indemnity etiual to one-half his erSrnlng capacity as a miner and Vaguf was apparently con- tent to allow matters to remain in that condition.

Took Chance for Iilf*.

It was not until he was notified .by the company's solicitor that compen- sation would be discontinued unless he subiriltted to an operation that he consented to consult the .surgeon in charge of the hospl*.il and subm.t to an examination. Even when a8.9ur{;d that there was a chance- for his reci.-- er.v. Yaguf balked at the operation. The coal compnn.v then discontinued the indemnity fund and finally Vagal appeared at the hospital and an- nounced his readiness to "take a chance for hlw life."

Yaguf'.i jaws were so firmly Inter- locked and had grown together In such a manner that It was found necessary to perform a double opej-ation. One side of his Jaws was operated up )n two weeks ago, and the mass of bone which had grown over them was chiseled away. Last week the otncr side was attended to, the shrunken muscles gathered and tied and the pr- tlent ordered to work his .laws slowly an.l gradually, until they became nc- customed to their natural ft'inctions.

It was like an Infant learning to walk. But perse\prance and surgical attention triumphed and Vaguf will soon be in a position to .consume solid fond and in a short time return ti> his work as a miner.

Always a Wrecker, Blinded by Aberration, He Is Asked to Declare Once and for All What He Really Wants

"Let .Mr. Bourassa, who all hl« life has been a wrecker, who, blinded by no one knows what aberration, seeks now to destroy even the sacred regard which the i<''rench-Cunadians" have for r'rarace, let him deflne to us these poli- tics which he professes.

"Hqw does he imagine that Canada will rise gradually to the rank of a respectable and respected nation . If Bhe withdraws herself Indefinitely from the respohaibilities proper to her power and UicreM|M|[^r^e.tith'' It is not enough to «i$jp!fVi|| everything.

Stone. Demand was made in the se- cret session for the deslgnatloi^of the country toward which fhe resolution was directed. Those who supported the resolution Included Senators Root, l«ridge, tUirton, Hitchcock, who said it was not a warning to an.v nation In particular, but a definition of this country's position "before embarrass- ing -sltuat'.uPs, might arise."

Senator I'ummings opposed the re.'^o- lution because he believed it was not direct and specific enough In its ref- erence to control of )and by foreign corporations.

Senator Lodge Insisted that the opening of the Panama Canal made It necessary for the United States to make clear at once Its opposition to the estalillshment o-f any foreign power, either directly ar through a commercial corporation, where it might threaten the safety of this country.

AUSTRALIA'S BUDGET

Xiarge Sxpendlturee Proposed for De- fence of tlie Commonwealth by Xiaad and Hea

SYD.N'KV, Aug. 2.-TI1C principal fea- ture of the Commonwealth budget is the proposal to spend almost four mil- lion pounds on new works ami' build- ings from the revenue. Details of the expenditure Include the following: I'or naval construction, £1,137,000; other naval works, £284,000; military works, £876,000; postof flee works, including wireless, £1,055,000; other defence cx- pendiutre, £2,748,000, including provl.«- lon for full complements for three cruisers, two submarines and a depot ship for the last four months of the year. Ten wirele.ss stations are to be constructed.

THE ROAD MUST RUN

If Orand Trunk Pacific Will Jffot Op- erate to Port William Oovern- ment WiU

WIXX1P.|::G, Aug. 2.— -Thai tlic Do- minion government is prepared to op- erate the Transcona section of the Na- tional Transcontinental this fall with 'a view- to taking a hand in moving the Crop, should the Orand Trunk Pacific persist in refusing lo take the section over on an operating basis, was Indi- cated by Hon. Robert Rogers in answer to a '^deputation from the Transrona board of trade.

"If the Grand Trunk Pacific are not going to take it over the government will." he said. "Somebody has got to run the road, that Is evident. It is absolutely necessary In order to move the crop this year. I think the posi- tion Is such that something will de- velop very sliorlly."

Apparently the govenimciif.^ Inten- tion is to operate right through, to the head of the lakes, though they would have to use Grand Trunk pacific rails enat of Superior .Junction. The diffi- culty about taking over the National Transcontinental .ohop.s at Transoona appears connected with the strike still operative here.

Montreal Plteman Asphyxiated.

Ills proposed plan for the assembly of large forces of men for drill under londitions corresponding closely to tiiose in actual warfare, the operations 10 be carried on over a wide area, will rommend itself to all persons, who de- sire to see the Canadian militia become , r, efficient force.

colonel Hughes brings to bear upon his work a robust patriotism, a strong Canadlanism and a rational imperialism. The militia has already felt the invig- orating touch of his masterful hand.

As Colonel Hughes pointed out, the self-control which the training receiv- ed by cadets, the new ideas of Individ- ual responsibility which they aoquire, the sense of comradeship which Is de-^ veloped, the value of co-operation which Is developed, are things of vast value.

The duty of the Dominion government is to furnish the necessary protection Just as rapid- ly as it can be provided. The dtgully of the Canadian people, if nothing else, makes it necessary that the rights of Canadians shall be safeguarded against these alien thieves, whose offence close- ly resembles piracy. That the fisheries department has already Issued orders looking to the prevention of such aciion is most gratifying. This step has been taken on the urgent representations of Mr. F. H.

SWe Spoke of the tour of the premier 6 attorney-general to North Central

itisVi (>ili'mb'n as <VS^ifl^f^"^ °' ^^^ ip of British Coluni^^^^'':we may refer to the visit of 8lV Ilichatd and his party to the North Thompson as an example of filling in the details. Of ' ourse the premier has not been able to tell the people anything that some one did not know before; all that he has done in that respect i.s to draw at- tention In a very conspicuous way to a part of the province about which the great majority of British Columbians knew very little and the rest of Can- adians knew nothing at all.

The fine river valley, which the min- isterial party visited, will soon be oc- cupied by a thriving population. It is worth while in this connection to direct atentlon to the fact that we will have a continuous line of settlement from the Yellowhead Pass down to Kamloops, there to be Joined with the present set- tled area, which extends across country »o the head of Okanagan Lake and then swings southward as far as the In- ternational boundar>-. This will mean a north and south line of developed country approximately five hundred miles long through the very heart of the southern part of the province. Here we have development on a very large scale. From Yellowhead Pass there will be within a few years a developed area more than five hundred miles northwe-terly along- the line of the Orand Trunk Pacific. That is to say, from the point Where the Okanagan river Crosses the boundary to Prince Rupert there will be a continuous chain of settlements between 1,000 and 1,200 miles lonf. This is really a very not- able thing, and it serves to give onn some Idea of what British Columbia will be like when all the details of the map have been filled in.

sir Edward Grey made a very inter- esting speech In Pai^Ifament on tije 22na ultimo on the foreign relations of the British Empire. Ill regard to the naval situation he said that a sufficient margin of naVal 8trer»gtlv must be pre- served because "If you are Inferior In home waters to a neighboring fleet or fleets, on every diplomatic question you will have to give way, and your position will not be that of a great power." This is a view; of the case which has not been, perhaps, considered as It might be.« We are all to apt to think of a j.ov^-e' ''■; ;';-.it';ji«:-aK.-instrisai»t.:to-:bt:r- used in war; but, as Sir Edward re- minds It's, it is important to preserve our Influence in times of peace. His- tory shows that the greatest victories have not been won. on battlefields on sea or land, but in the realms of diplo- macy, and the able Foreign Secretary reminds us that a powerful fleet Is necessary to strengthen the hands of our diplomatists. Concerning our'rel;i- tions with European powers, Sir Edward said:

In regard to foreign policy generally, I would like to repeat what I have al- ready said, namely, that it remains un- changed. The starting-point of any new development in European foreign policy is the maintenance of our friendships with France and Russia. Taking that as our starting-point, let us have the best possible relations with other countries. When we see either France or Russia coming to an agreement with another great European power, and being on good tcrmB with another great European power, such aa was emphasized by the meeting between the Russian and German Emperors the other day — when we see that, we hav«* reason to congratulate ourselves. We are perfectly convinced that France and Russia are as loyal to their friendship with us as we are to the friendship with them; that nothing which takes place on occasions such as the meeting In the Baltic the other day is going to take place to our disadvantage. Just aa nothing which makes difficulties be- tween France and Qermany, or Russia and Germany, is going to excrclso a disturbing Influence between ourselves and Germany, so anything which re- moves difficttltlea between France and Germany, or Russia and Germany— as the Morocco settlement did last year, or ns the conversa- tions between Russia and Germany may have done either at Pot.-Jdam or In the Baltic — smoothes the path of relation^ between tis and Germany. There wok a very Hlgnlficant statement published after the meeting of the Rtiaelan and German Emperors the other day, and it contained this sentence: "There could bo no (juestlon, either, of new agree- ments, because there was no particular occasion for them, or of introducing alterations of any kind In the grouping of the European powers, the value of which, for th« maintenance of peace, has already been proved." I entirely endorse that. I have always felt that though there may be separate groupn, they need not necessarily be opposed In dlplomatlo camps.

Our own ralatlona with the German government at the present momenf are axoellent. We are perfectly frank with «aoh other about all questions of mutual Inisrest, and I bellava that when questions come ur, whether they be, for inatanoe, In c-«an«otlen with our reapeotlve Interests in Southern Africa, ot whether they be in connection, event-

It may interest some people to know that Thaw, the murderer, will not be released from .confinement. The reason .given IsHijat, If at liberty, he would be a menace To public safety. His rc- Jcase would certainly be a menace to what remaining respect the people of the United States have for the courts of their country.

The United States congress has voted down the naval programme of the ad- ministration.' The New York Ameri- cian says this means that Japan will be the ralstresa of the Pacific ocean. This Is mentioned only by way of re- minder that the supremacy of the Eng- llKh-sncakluK race on. the jgreateiBt of tiic world's seas will depend upon the action of the British people. -

A contemporary having said that with Germany it IS "a case of expand or bust," The Ottawa Journal says it might "leak," and udds that "the emi- grants would be a sight better oft in the United State* or Canada than un- der German rule anywhere." ' The Jour- nal has, ^»the think, put its finger In the weak point of German policy. The de- sire to find homes for its people Is worthy of any government, but the German system would not be iipplicable to a world-wide empire.

Our evening contemporary referring to the nominations for . membership of the senate of the University of British Columbia, says that the persons nom- inated "have been allowed until Mon- day to post their acceptance." This Is an error. The notice sent out by the department of education reads: "Unless you nqtify me In writing on or before August 4 of your refusal to accept nomination, your name will be included in the list of candidates." Our con- temporary will no doubt correct the mistake Into which It has fallen.

"Form, form, riflemen form," sang Tennyson in the days when It was "true that we have a faithful ally, but only the devil knows what he means." Of cotirse that was long before 1' entente eordlalc was thought of. Those were the days when some Englishmen could scarcely sleep o' nights for fear that Napoleon 111. would land on" Albion's shores before morning. The generation before was amused by anoi'ner poet w'nro wrbt-e:

"Says Boney to Johnny: 1 think I'll come over. Says Johnny to Boney, You'ch better not come. Said Boney to Johnny; What If I come? Said Johnny to Boney: You'll be overcome."

As It was In the beginning, it Is now and perhaps ever shall ba.

The board of trade has acted with commendable promptness in urging up- on the acting prime mlniater of Canada the necessity for providing forthwith for the policing of the flsh traps at night We are Informed that the Iden- tity of the thieves, who rcbbad tha trap* recently, is known, and that they came from the state of Waahlagtan Is certain. Tf the watchmen at the ;rsps take upon t2ieiiM«tT«s the responslflllty

with xire situation are placed coast and that those who Invest ,^ capital in these magnificent industrleB will be fully protected." (Applause.) Imperial Sefanca

"With regard to imperial defence In relation to Canada, Th^t is a subj .ct near ajid dear to my heart. For many a long year 1 liiave upheld, sir, that the policy of Canada -wajs the policy of im- perialism. I need nol tell this audi- ence that L'lie policy that commended iuelf to mc long years ago was one king, on^ empire, one flag and one great Imperial navy. In my vanity 1 was foolish enough to think that that policy was mine. But on reading over the life of that famous Acadian, Josepli Howe. I found that long before I was born he had enunciated tho same view and had Imprinted It In lines of Are on the hearts of the people down by Oiie Atlantic ocean. He said, 'Talk of each colony having Its own Independent navy is Idle. Bach little inkvy would be a menace to the "whtjle. Have n a many flecis as you like but have it all under one gerat control.'"

Col. Hughes went on to say that these were therefore old ideas and they must be borne out by every man who understood true govemnv-rit "My function at the preserit moi: he

went on, "is the development oi the d^ipait— .Cut .)f the mill tla. Having been trained In the mi ■• .■school,

•Jiaving taught In the mii ■ '.lool. I

u.«ed discipline on all lads and in^ tha tair; ins out of those- principles I had to punish but four students in my life.

"By discI'pUne I have never meant repression or prison treatment. Dis- cipline means polish and culture. It nie«ns training mon to be self-con- trolled and self-reliant, and if proper discipline is carried out that will be thf kind of treatment meted out to the young men of the country.

'7alTia of Kifla Sbooting

"My Idea in connection with militia service is to build it up as I am now trying .to do. We are spending mil- lions every year in this country train- ing the young men. H. B. H. the Duke ot Connaught once found a raw recruit In one, of the camps who had reached the mofle.«!t age of 17. You c.tnnot take a man of 20 an<3 In 12 days every year make him a rifle shot. It is absolutely Impossible. Imagine, gentlemen. If you had been kept from writing, reading and arithmetic until 20. How many of .you would hold tho positions you do today? It is Just as reasonable in the other case, You never saw a perfect rifleman who did not begin young."

The minister urged all those who de- sired to assist in the work to cncotirage those teachers who were trying to Instil the principles of shooting und mili- tary work into the youth of the prov- ince. He said: "It is being done In every >provin,ce in Canada and it is my ipleasure and purpose that the youth of Canada in a few years will know as much about rifle shooting nt ten yeflrs of age" as. for Instance, Colonel Currle's men do now. ".\nd it will cost us practically nothing." He went on to-, refer to tho people who were desirous of crushing out this military spirit and training of the youth to "become butchers and murderers." A clergyman had written to him In such a strain. But he believed that the clergy of Can- ada as a wiiole wore solid behind the cadet movement.

"I remember the Rev. Dr. MacMlUan saying that the soldier is not the man who creates war. The men who create wars are the newspaper editors, and the stock gamblers. The poor poldler has nothing to do with the creation of war, but when thei^e otther gentry get the war going then the poor soldier has to turn out suppress it or carry It on."

WanoanvTSs Plannaa

Reverting again to the effects of mil- itary training. Colonel Hughes said that it mivde boys loyal and would develop them mentally, spiritually and morally.

"My brother, who has been chief In- apector of Toronto for forty years, has li/formed me that the records of tho police court of that City show not a solitary Instance where boys trained In' mlllUry drill hsvi ever bean, or for a Km» time, before the police courts of that city."

Colonel Hughes Instanced many aohools where cadet training was prov- inir eminently successful, particularly In two cases of French-Canadian iMk In

And they would pay tribute ratlVer than have their hides hurt by Japane.se shells.

"The world is to a certain extent un- civilized. 1 urn .satlBfted that the lime has not yet arrived," said the minister in couclusion, "when we can do away with the development of naval and military service in a country. Should it ever be unnecerjery, then 1 am pre- pared to maintain that as a human agent for the building up of a man riiie shooting and manoeuvering in mili- tary- exercises is necessary morally, physically, aye and oven spiritually."

"Disregarding ,t1 together the rumors of i^olice complicity in the mur/der of Rosenthal and tha theory that the crime was committed By gamblers who feared pecuniary loss through th,e mur- dered man's revelations of the work- ing of 'protection,' it is clear that the shocking mismanagement of this case places the department in a shameful position." — New Y'^ork Times.

NIGHT PATROL

OF THE STRAITS

ConHniied from Paan 1.

were present also the following mem- bers of the council: Messrs. A. Line- ham, C. H. Lugrln, F. A. Pauline, H. A. Munn, F. H. Logan, J. A. Mara, J. W. Ambery, J. S. H. Matson, H. G. Wilson, Simon Leiser and J. L. Beckwith.

Chief among.st the business which came up for consideration was that to which the telegram refers, and Mr. C. F. Todd was present by invitation to explain the status of the matter. He related the Incident of the raid by nigiit upon the fish traps operated by his company at Sooke and of the use of firearms by the poachers.

This raised the whole question of fishery protection on this coast and Capt. l.,ogan, who has given the sub- ject careful study, made the startling statement that the Hntiu«l lofw* to Can- ada .18 a result of the operations of United States poachers amounted to many millions of dollars. He suggested as a method of remedying matters that the patrol service be made absolutely efficient by the employment of a num- ber of specially constructed small craft, which would be stationed all along the cosst line at Intervals of 60 mile*. These vesdols wo'ild be In touch with one another, and also In communication with a parent ship equipped with wireless, and tho "pro- tection thus afforded would drive poachers out of business entirely. The cost would be merely nominal- In com- parison with the protection of the property of the nation which would be afforded.

This was considered an admirable Idea and worthy of the fullest consid- eration, and after some dellberallon it was deemed advisable to take ^tome im- mediate action In the emergency alt-, uatlon s« disclosed by the, IncI lent at the Todd traps, and the secretary waa Instructed to kand the Usli^ttmka «a above.

Tribnte to ChuxchlU It Is TiiMtLer for regret that

Mr:

Winston Churchill was not placed at the head o-f Britain'.? naval affairs when he was -made president of the board of trade. Had he thus early in his ministerial career entered upon the duties of the first lord of the Admiral- ty in the spirit in which he has per- formed those duties since he succeed- ed Mr. McKenna, there wotild probab- ly be leas heard today aboi^it the pre- cariousness of Britain's supremacy aj sea. — 'Mall and Empire.

Kew York's Plight The Rosenthal murder is but one of a number of indications that the crim- inal classes of the city, growing in number with the growth of the city, and constantly recruited from the younger part of the population, are getting out of hand. I'here Is not In the minds of those prone to lawlessness the definite fear of the police that there should be. There in not In the minds of the de- cent and orderly- citizens, the sense of security that there should be. — Now York Times.

Orawa Bya-Blactlon

The Asquith government lias suffered a defeat In the bye-election at Crewe, which means to It more than the mere loss of a seat In the commons. It must be an unwelcome sign of disinte- gration In the coalition which keeps the ministry in power, showing how seriously dieaftected the labor group has become. The labor leaders must have realized clea-rly enough that the presence of a third candidate In the field would mean victory for the Unionists, and the nomination of a labor represen- tative Indicates how deeply they'raaent the liberal action in Hanley. whereby they were deprived of a seat, A few more of such occurrences will leave the Asquith ministry's position very secrfi'c. — iNanalmo HeraM.

H. Rogers, a mimic and impersonator. supplies an act which causes laughter from beginning to end and h« has to respond to several encores. His im- ^Deraonation."* are vpry funny and he is a star performer in his mimicry. Miss l..eona Guerney, the Siberian Songbird, who is billed as ''Tti- rjirl M'lth the Two Voices," has ,i we, or ratlier voices, of wionderfvil range and she shows great ver.saiiliiy. She has a range of no less than four octaves, beo Curry and Fred Riley are two vley-er young chaps who keep the audi- ence thoroughly amused with a med-v ley, in which they play the piano and sing and dance and do all well. The Juggling act; eniilled "Fun In a Millin- ery Shop," which is staged by the Sombrero.s, is one of the best of the kind seen liero.

Crystal Theatre — The programme for today, .Samrfiay. is a pleasing one. "The Nip-per's Ijullaby" by the Vlta- gr^ph company is a strong and Inter- esting picture, pathetic and dramatic. This is a story of the sea taken around tlie wharves of New York and Brook- lyn. "X Western Prlneo Charming" Is an Edison drama. It aWeikons our sympatliies for a little girl drudging as lieip in a rough western boarding house and tlien satisfies the cliUd's dream of romance for us. In doing tills it makes use of nothInK that \» not found In common ordinary lite. "Orplian.s of the Plains" is t\n oxcellent rathe western for the children. "Trad- ing Stamp .Mania" is a comedy. This is ttie lust time you will have an op- portunity of seeing this bill of vaude- ville. Mr. Sid J^owis, "The College ("liap" lias «n act different from most monologists. and lias been well re- ceived. Helstrom and Mylire iippeartng as Swedish Klngers and dancers have ti'Aftp making fl hit wuh the Crystal's audiences "and will long be remembered. They sing and dance the folksongs of Sweden. Tills is the only act of its kind in vaudeville. As this Is Satur- day, come to the matinee or come early in the evening. Performance com- menijes at 1;30 and 6:30. First vaude- ville at night at 7:1.=., sr, thfet you will have an npiportunity of seeing all the pleMires before the vaiid<»v!He com- mences.

Th« AUea Playera — The memtoers of t'he Alien Player.s company will give two more performances of "The Man from Mexico," which has had the best run of the Allen shows at the Vic- toria theatre this season. This after- noon thrre is announced a special chil- dren's matinee and there will be tfhe usual night performance commencing at 8:3(1 p. m. The performance in the afternoon Is the same Ml every par- ticular as the evening fhow. "The Man from Mexico" Is one of the best langliter-maklng pieces in the com- pany'?< repertoire and has been praised by press ami puidic everywhere. Kach of the three »tcts i.s pure comedy, and the laugh once started never falla.

board of trade yesterday and explained the stilus of his claim for compensa- tion agaln.<;t the Dominion government for ha"!."g been deprived of his rights as the owner of vessels cngag<^<l in sealing.

Cook street, Bel- mont avenue, SImtfoe street, Toronto street, Michigan street and a number of ofher.i. The treatment already given some of the macadamised streets has proved an Improvement ov«r former dusty conditions, and wM)e no eompari- son of 'cost has aa yet been made It In predicted that the cost of giving the oil treatment twice or three times a year will actually coat !«•• than to regularly sprinkle the same atre«ts dally with wat-^r. The oil Is cplitinf |&.?6 par drum<of abovt alaety gauotie.

and that there la sure to,ft*»

MX . oX.r pgpulatltin a8„weU;

[* laBplul for all legitimate etit*r» prises. He found, however, that Vic- toria and Vancouver Island are under a disability In tliat people arc constantly confusing them witii ihp .ity of Vaii- couver. This may be a natural mistake for a stranger to make, but lo the loyal Victorian abroad It is a rather irritat- ing experience to be asked If Victoria l-^a iiurt of Vancouver.

The former city solicitor, Mr. McOiarmld. liud ad- vised that no compensation sliould be paid unless the workman was unfitttd for work for a lonKer period than two weeks, hut if unable to work after two weeks, to be paid full time for the first two weeks and half time until able to resume work.

In view, how- ever, of the statement made by the mayor that one of the owners wlio, it had been reported, was holding back until tiie city consented to pay htm for tlie right of way through his propf-rty. Is now willing to Join with the other owners and grant an easement free of cost, the matter will be referred back to the council committee, composed of Aldermen Okell and Beard, for further consideration.

WUl Sefase Claim— Tlie claim of Messrs. H. }'. Kithct and Company for extra money for hauling materials for the city, the demand for the extra amount being based upon the provision In the contract between the company and city providing for extras for hauls to Smith's Hill reservoir and "such other heavy grades" will not be allowed by tile city. At yesterday afternoon's meeting of the streets committee City K-UKlncftr Rust stated that It is costing the city about |130^er month In extra cost because the company claims tho torn-up condition of some of tho streets had necessitated a longer haul than con- templated. The company will be noti- fied that the city does not consider it- self Ilalile and will refuse to pay anv extras except In the case of materials being hauled to the reservoir site.

HAS REQUISITE POWER

City Cannot Prevent Eaanliualt W»t«r-

work» Company Tearlnic trp X>av«.

meat — Company S$U1 Promising

In view of the fact that the Estiui- malt AVaterworks connpany has. by statutory enaci.nient, power to Rnt«>r upon city streets in Victoria West and o-pen them for waterworks purposes the city will not be in a position to prevent the tearing up of th* asphalt pavement recently laid on Craigflower road, a work necessitated because of the need for repairing the company's main pipe line, defects In the joints of which have developed. The pipe runs for about a block from the city limits to Burlelth, and this section has been paved.

The company recently proceede<l to tear up tho pavement but was stopped by City Engineer Rust until its author- ity to do so was investigated and until -some arrangement as to tlie payment of the coi^t of the work was arrived at. On condition that the company .will re- pair tho street and make it as good as It was before being torn up the city will permit the company to proceed.

City yolieitor Robertson, in euhmlt- tlng his opinion to the streets commit- tee-yesterday afternoon, statod that tho act under which the company Is oper- ating gives it the right to tear up the roadway, and the only thing for the city to do was to make an agreement with tho company aYs to the manner in w'hlch the repair work must be done and the peyraent of the cost.

Ju.st when the oonvpany will be de- livering water to victoria "West con- sumers through tlie big itialn from Goidstream Is not certain, WcekB ago It was announced that the ra-oaulklng of the joints In the piipe line would bo completed within a week or two. but the time has been cxtondert until now residents in thflt portion of the city appear to have become re.signed to re- peated unfullUled promises and will oxpfect a supply from the larger source when thpy get It and not sooner. There Is but little more of the pipe to bo inspected and repaired nnd this work, it In stated, can be completed within a very short time.

CHIEF ASTRONOMER

ONCE MORE IN VICTORIA

'Was Kara Twenty-Sevan Teara Ago in Order to Setarmina Ztouguude

I>r. Otto Klutx, (,t Uttawa, the Dominion astronomer, ,lR staying in Victoria at the Emp! (ii{-. "^,,ot';l on a pleasure tour, and to a Colonist reporter yesterday he expressed hla j)ltui>ure ai bolng once agair. in Victoria and bcliijj enabled to sen itii! amazing chiingfB that hava been wroufffii. '

The doctor rccullcil ■« lien iie vlslteU this town In 14.Si in order 10 Jccur*.^ the ext>tt Ittitiidii and longUijd« of Victoria, ttiid said that he had been down on View street to B<*e tho spot whei-e hla observatory was situated at that time.

"tilnre then a beautiful city has grown up here and I am umazed at th« progress that In still continuing," he said.

Dr. Klotz Is president ot the (Canadian club ot Ottawa, but unfortunately was _j.'ii- aware of the Victoria club's meeting y's- terdny. He Is knowa all o\ or the workl as nn eminent astronomer, s^nd 1» a Canadian born ot German parents. One of the most famous ot his trips waji in 1884 when he made an exploration along the SaBkaich- fWRU and Nelson rivers to Hud.son bay, making a cnnoe trip of about 2,000 mllcn. He is stated tp have bpcn the first man. white or Indian to de.'!cend the whole length ot the Nelson river during the past century.

It was on this Journey that he encoun- tered various relics of Sir John Franiclln. and made magnetic observalloiis at points whloh had been occupied by that ill-fated explorer. In the following year he madfl the longitude datermlnatlons on the wsst coast. More recently he .iccuraiely de- termined the longitude of the Pacific la- laiirts between VanoT.-cr »nrt Brisbane. Australia, an achievement quietly accom- pl!shr-;<l, which was hailed throughout the .scientific world with satlsfa-ctlon and from which Canada derived considerable dis- tinction arid credit.

ENQUIRIES ARE MANY

By Xisttar and Farsomlly tits Bevalop- ment Iieague Xa Besieged for In- formation on Island

A very striking contrast was shown by two letters received yesterday at the office ot the Vancouver Island Development Ijeagnc. The first, from a Pecblcshlre taiiiior, evidently a thoroughly practical man, asked evtry conceivable (luestion which Ills e.'cperlence sugested as to obtain- ing and stocking a farm and marketing his produce, and also the v.agcs paid to farm halp. and when his questions are answered he will, have a very good working know- ledge of conililions on the Island. This was a n~iaii who know exactly what he wanted tor himself and his friends, who have capital ranging from $lu,000 down to Jl.OOO. Tho second letter, from a I^ncaslilre man, merely asks what nrc the prospects for a family with three sons. The writer may know what he wants hut he gives tho league not the slightest clue to the capa- bilities ot hla fsmlly and hinusclf and con- sequently the difficulty of replying usefully Is great.

The missionary work of the league is stimulating a great interest In Vancouver Island In all parts of South Africa, »v> much so that the Portugese department of agriculture at Belia begs for full informa- tion to enable Us officials »., anflw.-r tho numerous enquiries addressed to them. A porter at a refreshment counter at Brighton, a mechanical engineer from Hebbum-on- Tyiie aiKl a missionary at Cheklang, I7hlna, are among the many who are showing a desire to miihe their home* ;.,?-,-c.

in addition to th<» f,nqidrles received by post there Is a constant flow of visitors ..i person into the office. Vesterrtay two gen- tlemen with means from Calg.iry made the most searching encrtilrles regarding the northern psrts of the inland, as did an editor of a B. C. newspaper.

STREET WIDENING

About twenty property owners on Fls- guard slreet, l>etween Chambers street and btanley avenue, met with n number of the members of tho city. couMf;ll last evening and discussed tim project ot widening and slralghtenlng that portion ot the thorough- fare.

The city recently decided that It would not proceed with the work until the ownci< unanimously agreed to either give tin; land reijiilrert for the widening or else decide upon « price wlilcn they would accept for the land taken. If this price proved satis- factory tho city could then expropriate. To date the owners, with one O'xcrpifon, have expressed willlnKtieai to gl\f« thu lanrt but the single exception has blocked the scheme. A bylaw to pave the street and construct sltiewalks and boulevards was passed last year, but until the widening scheme Is carried through the Improvement work luaa been delayed It Is now the In- tention to widen to a oniform width of fifty feet.

After considerable discussion Aaat evening It tras decided to notify each owner that the cuuQcll Ik ar.xloua to wuiffij tho street to a width or fifty (art and is willing to pay at a rata ot thirty-five cents pei- squaro foot for the land taken from Insldo lots and forty cants for corner Iota, The owners. If Willing to accept this offer, arc requested to make rvply within two weeks.

That another cup has been presented for competition in life saving among the swimmers nf Canada will be interestlnc: to the membrre of the British CoUunbia branch, the majorltj- of whoso officials are Victorians.

A London despat>-h sa.v8;

"W. F. Darnell, of London. Eng., who has travelled ilWough Canada from east to west, lias given a handsome sUver-gllt cup for competition 'by the Canadian branches of the Royal Life Saving .Society In order to sllnuilale Interest in life-savlnR In the Dominion. The cup Is worth between 90 and 100 guineas, stands about 2ft. 6in. high, nnd weigh.-? over 110 ozs. The gift was made by Mr. Darnell aa the result of a dis- cussion he had recently with Mr. T. "VS". Sheffield, who represent-s the Reglna hoard of trade nt tlie conference of Chambers of Commerce of the Empire. The condition? will be drawn up by the cenfal executive after discussion with Mr. Sheffield.

The idea is that the trophy shall bo the property of the various branches In CanatiR, and "ha!! remsln In thf> custody of the winning branch until It is cap- tureil by some other centre. To w-hom the cup will be sntruuted prior to the first competition belnR held has nor yet been decided. Breast and hark swimming and the four ways of carrying person?* on the surface of the water will form the tests to be competed in. and an at- tempt will be made to include ladles. Tn any cane, the competition w-lll re- s'olve Itself into a time test, as It Is recognized that the distances are too great for a number of people to cross the country In order to compete for the cup at some particular centre.

It is hoped to hRve the .cup ready for Mr. Sheffield to take out with liltn when he leaves for Canada.

There are now five branr'nes in Can- ada: Quebec, (intarlo. Manitoba, Sas- Ualchewan and British Columbia.

NE'W^ YORK, Aug. 2. — According to advices received from officials at the (Olympic games In Stockholm, the Hwed- Ish Olympiad will probably prove to have been a failure financially.

XewHpnperB In HSwerlen and else- where before the games printed stories of the prohibitive prices which would he charged at Stockholm and frightened away many thousands of the vl.«ltors who otherwise would have gone to the games.

The management tried In every way to offset the damage done by the news- paper stories, but the Impreaalon pre- vailed that accommodations would be hard to obtain and high priced. The experience Is similar to that of the Lon- don Olympiad In 190J.

These three words go far to explain "Gramiii" superiority. The Gramm fac- tory is the oldest and largest truck fac- tory on this continent. The Gramm company .started out to make commercial trucks, and. have never been tempted to experiment with pleasure cars. Thia means that every part in a Gramm trwck was designed for a commercial vehicle' and is not merely a pleasure car paft adapted for truck building.
