Ho fouihl that a number ot the problems con- fronting the authorities In so large a city ii.'< .'N>w York are In many rrspecls much the Bamc Bs those confronting us In so larg« a Province hk Ilrltlsh Columbia. The easl- orn rllloj cM'ectlvidy carrying out general mfdirol Insiwcllon were al.so found lo have much the same genera! Bclieme fi» that adoplp.l by Uritl.ih Coliimbla-»an entirely preventive system, to ii. large extent, a sys- tem of reporting.

p1o\ ed to represent the Crown in jiro ceedings agatiist persons accused oT di.-^ orderly conduct in connection with the strike at Cumberland, has returned here, and reports that everything has become rjulet at the colliery centre and that there Is little danger of any further out- breaks. Mr. .Shoehothain,. however. Is satisfied that the Covernment did nnl act any too soon in sending provincial police to the scene, and If there had been any further delay there would very probabl.\- have been bloodshed.

'The company," says Mr. Shoebotham, "Is now building a large hotel, whicti will accommodate about one httndred men, and has also given notice to former enipb).\ees to vacate company houses. As .soon as the boarding hotise is com- pleted, it is the intention to import a number of white miners from outside points and to get rid altogether of those who have been responsible for the iire.s- ent trouble. Most of the men who are on strike have been taking no part In any <^f the disorder, and would gladly go Ijack to work If they had opportunity to do so,

"Tlie prosecution of some oi tne wo- men and their release ui'on a promise that they would beha\e themselves n>r the future and would send their children back to school had an excellent effect. Three of the teachors are relatltres of men who remained at work, and for a while these teacherH had to be escortea to and from the school t)y the police.

•'Although there is no more disorder, it Is nevertheless necessary to still Keei) the special police on the ground, and this Is a pretty expensive business. I expect, however, that the>- will ha\ e t<.i be kept there until the new men to be engaged by the company have avri\el anil those who are making the trouble have been weeded out.

"It Is not true that tln' com|ian\ in- tends to put Mongolians in place of the white men, .\11 nf the men who will be l)ii>ught in 111 take the strikers' places, and who will be given permanent em- ployment, will be white merL"

The .\rion OUib last evening marked lis 'coming of age" by a most success- ful concert, which, was attended by ii large and appreciative gathering. Mrs, .1. Macdonald Kahoy. soprano, and Mi. Neal H. Begley, tenor, rendered valuable assistance. .Mr. H. Kent conducted.

Starting off with Zollner's strident "Were the Atlantic Main." the Club Kave forth a sample of its voluminous power. In the ne.xt number "The Uittlc Church," by Becker, the Club displayed a fine restraint. Tdebe's 'in the Night" was splendidly rendered. Per- haps the best number of the evening was "Stars of the Summer Night." a symphony, and a great conclu.slon was reached with "The Beautiful Blue Hanubc."

.Mrs. Macdonald Fuhcy's singing was M r -elation to many present. Her .•-i.pr - voice fnynd range last night tn hi til. ^, unsuspected points.

Committee's Report

In the mpnioranduin ' submitted by this committee of awaird to the pov- f rumen t, the work of the selection tri- bunal Is thus pHrtlally reviewed;

■'in making our report and award in llua coinpetillon, we are fully conscious of the great responsibility devolving upon us. The opportunity Is unique, and Is well referrwl to in the Instruc- tions as 'a great one.' If we look back to Great Britain as an example it is quite impossible to gauge the influenc '. for good upon busy centres which the recent establishment of universities has had. So much the more is it of im- portanci^ that the buildings, to be erect- ed upon such a site as la available, and likely to form such a precedent, should be in all respects of the highest order of design, planned and fitted In every detail to meet the needs and to be worthy of their destiny The buildings will remain as a standard of the taste of today in British Columbia for all time. They are likely to be commented upon or criticized the world over, and we feel It has been Imposed upon us to spare no pains In reaching our conclu- sions and to permit no consldrrations of any kind to influence us otlK'r than those <'!' Ill,, rr,' rits of the designs .«iub- mlttcd.

"Again, while freedom is glvea to the conipetitors as to style, a definite aug- gestlon iu made as to the appropriate- ness of three distinctive styles, vl«: a free rendei'ltjg of late Tudor or Eliza- bethan or Scotch Baronial. .Whatever our Individual feelings may be on the question of style, we were bound to consider the additional claim of thoae competitors who Ijave, in this respect as well as In other points, reflected the spirit of the Instruct loci*-

"A dignified aiiupiioUy Wus also asked for. Here again, as well as In style, only one competitor has disregarded the suggestions and ho struck out on a line of his own In producing a clas- sical scheme of a grandiose and palatial character. It Is quite cl«ar that the Instructions had in view the dignlfleci but simpler and often domestic lyoes of the older English llnlversl [!<"(, rather than the more grandiose modern A/Tierlcan examples.

•'Wo concur In this preference.

"With one oxcoption. In which the in^lnor axis of the site is made to pro- dominate, all of the twelve competi- tors roforrod to deal with tlie site as dotnliiated by thn north and south axis, . althougii in the one case of the clas.sical design above mentioned, the axis is comparatively Immaterial, Inasmuch as the vistas are Ignored.

OOXiOirZAZi KSFSXISEirTATXOZI'.

The desirability of colonial repre- Kpntation on the Committee on Dcf-ence Is not universally aclm.Vtte<l by !■ a i.i-^ 111.' public thouglit- In the 'United Kuis- Uom and this neej occasion no e.ur- prlso, for th» subject is a .1. !> it;ii ii. one, not as to principle, but aa to Its practicability. The I3ritl!!li peopli everywhci'' ipnst lie content in make iJast^ slowly in tljls matter. \Vi

ippoee that the most sanguis, . vocaite of such repres«ntatlon expects that anything more than a beginning A^Ul.--ba— inad« —in tho. lmm«dJa.ta.^fitta|^ On a question! of this kind it ' 'Ht necessary to look ahead, and liave In m.ind the certain developments of tb^X^ future. In our ol>servatlotvs whlcBr, ftlh' low wc -•shall -speak only of Canada, l)Ut it is obvious that, if we make out any ca-se at all. It will be correspond- ingly -strengthened if the other Belf- governtng Dominions are taltcn i-.itu account.

The present population of Canada is probably mori' than eiffht nilllion-s, Bubstanlially, let us say, on"-tlftli of t;ie United Kingdom, At the prestMU rate of increase, it may reasonably be expected to reach twenty m.ilUons in the next (luarter of a* 6?nturj', 'by which timi? its relative prcfportlon i > that of th.' I'nited Kingdom will have greatly incrfa-^ed. But without Kolng into any calculations on this point. wliich would of n'?ces.'5it l^md to

indefinite rfsulla, the fact n niaina that la the course of twenty-flve years Can- tula will become a country of too h'nni population, too great wealth ' and too great development to malvo it possible that her foreign relations sliall be de- tirminc'l \>y t' ho.l\- in whose decision.^ slie will have no voice. In fifty years it may well be that the population of Canada will be greater t'lati that of the United Kingdom. In the lifetime of a nation decades hardly count. Nearly a decade and a half have passe<l since the British preforencs was adopted by the Canadian Parllftmont, Hhd yet it seems only ye^sterclay that it wa.s determined upon. It i.'' n little over three decades since the Xational Policy tariff was adopted by Canada. The younger men in kVinadian imbllc life today will have to deal with prob- lems arising out of changes of a mag- nitude which we are perhaps hardly able to measure toJay. Hence it is ob- vious that -in .detci-minlng upon any line of policy affecting the Kmplre we must look tt ' considerable distance ahead.

I'^or this reason. «■.,.;.• in cuminnn with mo.st per.'iuns who liave glvrn the proi^osal of colonial representation on the Committee of Defence serious con- elderatlon, we see difficulties to bo en- countered, there seem tu hr greater clIfTlcuUlcs to be overcome. If -some such plan is not agreed ufion. History ti aches that. If the evolution of the political fabric, wlilch we call the Km- )lrc, lifld been arrested at every stage, n there seemed to be lions In l)i<' path, tnc progresa mad" would have been smaflk We concede much that has been aai'd"iiW respect to tbo anomal- ous condition that may be created, but are comforted by the thought that the whole Empire Ih nn anom«ily. Possibly that Is why it ip m lCm,plr*. Our only fear in that peoi • in-.y try to m-ikc it conventional. AKAHira WECOTtX) OF FBOOBEBS

ih Columbia, and for that matter, all Canada, is Interested In the new University to be established in this Province. The acceptance of the archl- 1. ct's plans for the building Is a matter of considerable moment. It marks a great advance towards the time when the University will be an accomplished fact. The general deslpn of the build- ings afford an Indication of the charac- ter of the institution, ns it will im- press visitors to this Province. We are not In a position as yet to examine (io.'ieiy the plans which have bf'en nc-' cepted by the Government,, but in a general way it Is possible to -say that they combine modern improvements with those features of a unlv.^rsity which have become Inseparable from such an Institution by tradition and iisai<i'. We understand that there are still some alterations to bo made in the general design before the Committee wliicli ajmllcati'd Is f<atl.sf ifO, atul un- til such time as th(.i«e are effected It is too early to comment on the architec- tural facilities that will he affordei!

It Is enough at the present time to say that Dr. Young, the Minister who has been largely responsible for inaugurat- ing and carrying thus far this great work, seem* to have brought to bear upon hi.s task excellent powers of dis- crimination, a wide knowledge or what such an institution shotild be, and a desire not only to make It equal to sim- ilar establishments, btit to afford an ox- ample v.-hlch win In the future ho pointed to, if not wiil: pride, with envy by communities from all part.? of this I'nntinent.

Sir— Your timely and well-merited editorial on the subject of birds 1" fun- eral Is deserving of the highest commen- dation, and 1 hope will result In bring- ing the subject to the thoughtful con- sideration of all classes In the commun- ity and to that of tlie authorities. Th« article in your issue of the Oth Instant on the "Big Horned Owl Bounty" shotild also be productive of Inquiry Into the utility of such ill-considered enact- ments and whilst the action of the »"' thoritles Is to be commended for abro- gating that In question, the thought naturally occurs as to the querftlonahle wisdom of offering a bounty, 1" t''^ first place, without first obtaining all pos.slble information regarding t'"* habits and customs of the unfortunate animal whose extinction Is aimed at- Now whilst It Is scarcely credible that the i-normous sum of $18,000 has been paid In bounties for tlie destruction of the horned owl, as Is asserted in your article. It Is to be presumed that a large sum has been paid. Had proper steps been taken to ascertain the habits of this bird before committing the coun- try to a course calculated to its ex- tinction. It could iTaslly have been as- certained that far from being injurious, owls generally, and that in review la particular, are the best friends of tlie farmer. This fact baa long ago been recognized In ^ti|||j<^ Country and in the United St«lS^|#liire, Instead of en- actments aimed at their destruction.

4«a^lA M being injurlotis, and two of tbItf'Jtiimber a.pi^^0rc,- as not worthy to WconsidertfitSiSi/btlier hawks, owls, and eagles are classed aa useful. I speak from memory, but I believe T am correctly stating the findings of the United States Government published in a report entltleid "Hawks and Owls of the United States." it is unfortunately the hiibit, especially amongst some fruit grower.?, to condemn on Insuffi- cient evidence, some particular bird, and often birds In general, and to demand Government assi-stance for their exter- mination. This was asked In the case of the common black old crow, whose character Is certainly none of the best; but after careful Inqiilry In this I'rovlncit and in the adjoining .States the evidence was so much In his favor that I could not recommend the course proposed, and in consequence no action was taken by tho then Government. When the Na- tural History Society undertook to Im- port useful birds from England an out- rr>- was raised by a certain number of people with the ro.sult that their intro- duction was prohibited; however, on Us being sliown to the Hon. Mr. Bowser that the birds in tiuestlon, far from be- ing Injurious, as had been asserted, are the best friends of tho fruit growers and agrlcuUuri.sts permission was at once accorded for their Introduction. Your article dealing with other classes of birds all point In the same direction; so let us hope that the ignorance and prejudice against these friends of man may in time disappear. I hope I have not been too prolix; but let the import- ance of the subject be my excuse.

The above action wa.s tried today be- fore the Hon. Mr. .lustlci Gregory. It appeared that the City of Victoria ex- propriated 8 feet of the |,!alntiff,-< property for the purpose of widening Fort Street. When the city workmijn began work they took II feet instead 6f 8 feet, claiming that the extra foot was an cncroHehmenl on the the street and that the city did not have to pay for U.

'The plaintiffs liave been In possession for hi yptrs and the wall of their property was built on a street lino given them by the city 20 years ago.

An Injunction was granted by Hon. Mr. .lustlce Morrison on Nov. 27. His l.,ord.fhlp decided that the city was a trespasser and liable for damages.

Jiulgmont was given in favor of the plaintiffs for $400 damages and co-sts, and the Injunction mn-'e perpetual as ti the extra foot of land.

Oak Bay Oolf Kinks

Sir, — I saw a reference In last week's newspapers to a supposed ln<-qual!ty of assessments at Oak Bay and citing in particular the Oak Bay Golf Links, which con.<?lst of 100 acres valued for njisessment purposes at $60,000 or $600 per acre.

The matter of an equitable assess- ment of these lands Is partly a ques- tion of law and partly one of economic policy.

From a legal (and ethical) point of vlf-w I rto not think It would be an al- together easy and ?.lmi)]p thing to ra1.se the existing valuation.

The pre.-ient owners (not the Golf Club, but The Gon-/ales Point Land f.'o.) b.iught the lands from the Pembor- (on Estate six years ago for $50,000.

The purchasers are bound In their title not to sell any portion of the 100 acres nor to earn therefrom more than 1. mt rental of fi per cent on $50,000 (ir B per cent on $60,000) per annum fn- fifty years or until such time as a g-^'f club ts unable to pay that rental and maintain a golf course.

New It In impossible for the total share'iolders of the Gonzales Co. to show their stock as assets for mpre than $t.n.O0O, earning 5 per cent for fifty years.

And I tdink that the Municipal Assee- sor was rl^ht In not going beyond that sum. for 11 he did so the validity of his decision would undoubtedly be chal- lenged and iinaslbly upset.

If thr. leRMl question were decided against the Gon-nh-f, pr,int Land Co the Golf Club woftift be forced to sur- render their right of lease and the whole 100 acres woidd quickly be sub- divided Into attractive building sites to the grrnt benefit, cf the. Gonzales share- holders.

Wheth.r It would be to the profit of the Minilcipnllty Is the question of eco- nomic policy.

Twenty years ago the Dr*>Hent Beach Drive from Shoal Bay to the northern boundary of Reeve Oliver's garden was laid out and built by thi Pr.ivtnclal fjovernnient as n scenic drive to con- neet Rencon Hill Park with Oak Bay

This wn.«, I think, the ' firot road huilt for the sole purpose of oWnIng up views of our beautiful scenery and It callc.l for .-^ome foresight to do HUch a thing when neither tallyhos nor motors were thought of.

The late Mr. .T. B. Pemberton, al- though he was then qult<» an old man, took a great porsonnl Interest In the locntltm of the road and In the effect- ive view point obtained. '

ITnder the new building bylaw complaints against rullng.<» of. the inspector may be made to a board of supervisors com- posed of the chairman of the fire war- dens, the fire chief and city engineer. The building Inspector refused to issue a permit for the structure because the plans showed wooden partitions In the upstairs portion and wooden ceilings, which do not come within the building rCRUlBtlons. The appeal was considered by the supervisors, who approved of the stand t.-vken by the building inspector.

mevlalon Court Meet* — Revision of the Municipal Voters' List for 11)13 was comemnced yesterday morning at the City Council Chaml>er, when the Court of Revision, composed of Mayor Beck- with a.id Aldermen Stewart and Porter, sat to hear complaints against names on the list or applications to have names added thereto.

A list of thirty-two names of householders who took the customary declarations in Oc- tober, but who, it was discovered later, had not paid the regulation $2 tax, was submlttefl by Tax Collector Gowei', who asked that these names be struck from off the list. The board decided to no- tify each Individual named to appear and show cause why the collector's re- quest should not be granted. The court will meet again this afternoon In the council chamber at the City Hall.

Tlie fortieth Annual Meeting of thj t:iiiiiinUiee'of MunaKemeht of the Pro- ifstant orplmnB' Home was held yester- tliiv afUTiioon In the Ctty Hall. Mr. Chnrles Ifuyward ppcsldetl. and tl:ere was a larse attendance oi" interested ludie.s a'l'l iientlemen. The proceedings -.viTf opened by prayer by the Rev. 12. a. Miller.

I'lPHUicnt Hayward prnsentcd the rc- ri-port of Llie Committee of Management, which reads:

Tlie excellent report.s attached hereto ndicate that the past year has been u most succeasful and encunraginK one. Jj'clue in a great measure to the pralsf- worthy efforts of j'our hadles' Commit- tee; to the liarmonioiis way the various committres and servants of the Society have diacliarged their duties; and last, but not least, to the continued Kenorous support and sympathy of the subscribers. It has been the desire of your man- agers to secure as far as possible tlic safety of the little ones committed to their care, by making the sanitary con- dition of the 'premhses as perfect as ,.,,,,,nf ii.ii- i.^rHvitt*-.!, »-»hI -ttl»t> t*».^j>rt>- vicIl ,. flu' I'll t .'safeguards against fire. For these inirposes.a laryc expenditure 1.1 beinR incurred, In ordei' to connect with tlie city system of sewerage, which for tlie first time Is now available, l.y way of Hillside Avenue; and also i" install, under the kind personal super- vision of Vlre Chief ])avls, new modern steel fire ladders, witli iirotectlni? hand rails, for both ends and rear centre of the buildinfr, besides some Internal al- terations and improvements in the same direction.

The aniount of coinpensailon for tho exproiirlation by the city of seven feet OI land the entire lenKth of our iiortli- erii boundary, for widening Hillside Avenue, has already been agreed \ipon, on ii. fair and reasonable basis; and it is .suiisfactory to note In this connection Che greatly Increased value of the re- maining twelve acres, comprising the present sita of the Home. At the time the purchase was made there were some who doubted the wisdom of investing part of the John G. Taylor legacy for this purpose, and criticised the action of the then managers for doing so; but it is now, as it always has been, a splendid atid increasing asset, whicli no doubt, in due course, will be fully utiliz- ed for the benefit of the Orplianage. It is hoped that In the near future lunds will he available for erecting close f. the Home, an outdoor gymnasium, suit- able for children's use, and provide th • atipervlsion necessary to sfecure the best results, in development of character and physique.

Of course he eirpecti* a present from you, and you certainly are goinf to give him one— or perhaps more. I* yo" are In doubts as what to get him Juet com* down to our •tore and lets talk It over. Here are a few auffKeatidne: Poritet Knivea, 10c to. .....91.78

But, on the otlier hand, the higiior cost of living, and other outgoings more than offs'-t these additional receipts. Thf principal items of expense have In- creased as follow.'?:

Tills shows a net Increase of expendi- ture over the additional receipts of 1161.90. Tt Is therefore apparent that the cost of the administration of the affairs of tho Home Is Increasing; und it must be expected that, with the rapid growth or the city and province, more necessities will arise for its pro- tfffing, sheltering care; but your man- agers, from pleasant experience In tiie past, have no fear but that when our present resources are ineufflcient, abun- dant means will bo provided.

Your committee, we regret to state, has sustained a .«ievere loss In the datli of Mr. H 1). Helmcken, K. C, who, for many years was a member of this board, and who gave to the Interests of the Home the tmstlnted service of lilp kindly heart and clear tjead.

W. CUHTI8 BAMPSON,

Chartered Accountant. Victoria, B. C, Dtccmber iC 1912.

In reviewing our work for the past year, we reallite with thankful hearts the loyal support ticorded us in our ad- mlnislration of the internal nmnage- nient of the Home, tJur hands have been upheld and our spirits strengtlien- ed by the kindly deeds and practical asoiatance rendered by friends in the city and from suburban ix)ints. it Is wltli deep tlmnUfiilMtss to the Giver of all that we record the satisfactory close n..' one year's labor ot love. Harmony has prevailed alons ;ill lines, and health- ful days have been granted, llie Inmates or tho Home. Under the gkllful care of Mrs. Kay the chlldi'in are being trained to face the future. ,ind riur worthy ma- tron Is ably secoritad In -her work by Miss Mose, who Jbinod tire staff in March. There are 52 childreij under tlieir care, 27 having been received dur- ing 1312, and 3-1 removed by guardians or piaced at service or in other positions. We highly appi'eoiate the many pleas- ures provided 1 ■• ":oughtful patrons fro m t i"n fe t o' ! .1 rs. .T. t)'. PcT n b i r -

ton personally [iri stiitcd to tiie chil- dren Coronation mugs and souvenirs, thus implanting a germ of lojulty lii each youtliful lieurt.

By the kind Invitation of Messrs. Curtis & Priestley, the moving pictures Hi the Victoria Theatre were much en- joyed.

Mr. Mclntyrc nnd a number of friends, on Clirlstnias nuirning. and again on lOaster Monday, pnivlded the unusual iit-at <jf a motor ride to all the children, and in September free admission to the Kxhihitlon was given by the iJirectors of the Victoria Agricultural Association. Ctarlatmai Featlvltles Xever have the children spent a hap- pier Christmas than that of IHll. Ke- turnlng from the motor ride, happy and hungry, a bountiful Christmas dinner was waiting Iri the big dining room. The B. Wilson Co.. Limited, most gen- erously donated the huge turkeys, and at each child's pbue was a shining lialf- dollar the liberal «lft ot Mrs. Wm. C. Todd. The Christmas tree, lield on Thursday. December 28, was most nrtls- tically trimmed by Mrs. C. F. Todd, tho Misses McTavish and Helmcken and .Master Alnslie Helmcken, The children from tiie oldest girl and boy to the youpgest baby, were seated on the plat- form, and rendered a short programme Tf song an(J story, under the able direc- tion of Mr. Pollanl. who had generously given his valuable time to training them for some weeks previously, .Miss Parfltt kindly assisting at the piano.

The Committee greatly appreciates tlie gifts of toys, books and gix)d cheer, which rounded out the purcha.-ses made for the tree, and enabled them to give generously to cacii child. Kspeclally we would inentloM .Mi'ssr.s. ]-'ield Brothers, l>. Spencer & Company, Limited, the Fifteen Cent. .Store, and Messrs. deem- ing Brothers, who sent a sai k of silver, each child receiving fifty cents. Tho visitors were .served refreshments, and another happy holiday come to a close; Pound Porty Thf ,\nnuHl Pound Tarty was held on Wednesday, .lunc !»• ""il notwith- standing the 'almost Impassible condi- tion of the approaching streets, was at tended by man\ friends of bygone years as well as man> interested new ones. The long tables were speedily hoeped witli many of tlic necessaries of llfo and many of the luxuries, and the treas- ury WHS enriched to the amount of 1177.75. Mr. Artliur Lonfffield. always so willing to idace his talents at thu disposal of the Home, generously pro- vided music lor the whole afternoon, -adding to the succesq of the day and the pleasure of those present. Vacation Joya Once again Mr. arid .Mrs. S. R. Newton extended the liosiiltallty of their Jiomo to the children, who, under the care of the matron and lier assistant, spent a glorious summer day by the sea, royally entertained by the kind ho«t and hostess. In August a idi nlc at tho Oorgc Park was provided by eight little friends of* Oak Bay. By Hie considerate arrange- ment of .Mr. A. T. Goward, the children were transported by special tram to and from tlio park, tlius bringing to a rul- filment a perfect day.

TlianksfflTlaf Say Thfh day w»s happily spent, and we v.lsn to record our gratitude to the many friends who gave practical demon- stration of the spirit of the day: Mfister Charles T. Du|iont, who donated the turkeys for the dinner; the city and suburbafn cburclies for harvest fruits and vegetables, Snd to Mrs. Suttle and the pupils of St. Ofrorge's School, for e generous gift of money, as well as a large box of fruit and groceries.

The grateful appreciation of our Committee Is extended to Dr. Bapty, our honorary physician, for Ivls dlalnter- eated kindness to those needing hla at- tention. Never has he heen too busy to visit an invalid or proffer hla valuablo advice during the paJt twelve months. We are also deeply Indebted to t)r. Lewis Hall, another staunch friend, for profestlonal services throujihout the year.

The months have not alippe« away Without brtnging with Ihf Joy« m. ineaa- ore of lrfeparabli» laslr. In the Wirtdom tit tbe' Most High, our -eMteoined C(H. w^rlMr, Mr. H. D. Hetmoken, K.

In cloaing, we wish to gratefully ac- knowledge the sympatiietlc response tu the needs of the Home In every form and rrom every source. To the .Jubilee Hos- pital, whose doors are iievei' closed to our needs; to The Colonist and The Times, who, month by month, publish our reports, thus keeping us In touch with our donora and contributors; to the Victoria Agricultural Association, the Duncan Aid Society, the City and Sub- urban Churches, the S.

SUB-STATIONS COMPLETED

Addltiona to Oarbaga Collection FacU-

itlag Will Be in Operation in

Short Time.

\\\ a week or two ciie new sy.'item of mrhnge cTTltectttm introdticgd 'thts' year \vii! be In operation. It was the Inten- t!'>n of the health conimittec of tho council to divide the city into districts, in each of which sub-stations would be erected to facilitate tlie collection of garbage. Two of these stations have been completed, one on Woodlands Hoad, in the soutlieii.stern portion of the city, and the other on Queen's Avenue. The other stations were Intended to be erect- ed, one behind th.c limp.-css Hotel and the other on the wharf at the foot of Turner .Street, but the strong objection made by neighboring property owners and others to the choice of those loca- tions blocked tl-.o programme outlined by the committee, which has carried out this scheme only to the extent of erect- ing the two stations now about vo.u- pleted.

The new structures are neat in de- sign, and 80 constructed that refuse collpctpd during the daytime will be htiuled away at night, each district to have a certain number of carts and terns allotted to it, the night collection to be made by the motor truck purchas- ed earlier In the season.

The sub-station idea, which Is being adopted in all the leading cities of the Kast, will also facilitate the street cleaning operations in the outskirts, the sweepings being nlglitly deposited at the suti-statlons and thence hauled to the city garbage wharf Instead of, as at present, the teams requiring to be driven from the outskirts to the wharf, a method at once slow and e-vpcnsive.

The residents In the vicinity of tlie new sti-itions now completed at first were strongly antagonistic to tlie scheme, hut since they have seen the Blructures in actual being the protests have ceased.

Recently, when The Mail and Empire of Toronto was preparing an industrial edition a reporter asked a leading citizen— not connected with the piano in- dustry— what could be said of that industry in Canada; "Why," said the citizen, "Canada is surpassed by no country in the world in the manufacture of pianos.

meet expenses. "fhose pareiitS dT" guardlans who can afford it pay a minimum rate of board for the children for whom they are legally responsible. TheHe are facts which the general pub- lic should know. AVhen the private Ivius. now occupied was rented les-s than two years ago It was far larger tlian was needed. Since then many al- terations and uddltlon.s have been made und, it l.s stated, th- funds of the so- ciety are exhausted. It is propcsed to build a new institution on city property with modern equipment and ample iinrt suitable ground.". Hut this cannot be done, and should not be done, hastily. ^VUnl is wnntfd now is a temporary building which will contain a batlirooni nnd n inrge, light, cAmfortable room which can be used this winter for re- creation nw\ .study. .\t present these twenty-one children spend all t^l^. ev«'v ing in the dinlngroom. This room woul 1 suffice for half a dozen children. With more than three times as many it i = unhealthy. There i.-* no po.ssibilUy of freedom for the children, and, what is almost as Important, of proper super- vision, tt win he no wander, if, 'le- prlved of the opportunity of giving ex- pression to their natural love of fun and exercise, th- boys crowded together, become mischievous and b.^d-tempered. .Such a building or addition as Is nreded could be put up In two or three we<>ks and wo\ild cost a very moderate sum. Tn this city there are hundreds of men and many women who spend such a Slim on luxuries, Itousekeepers. especi- ally, will understand hDW \^ery hard it Is for tho<=e wlio have pharKe of all these children io manage willi only ono bathroom and a single mom to serve as dining, living and playroom. The wlnle community is concerned In keeping these boyi< from straying again Into forbidden pathn. Rv.^ry bad boy or girl is a centre of contamination and no one knows what child may be exposed to the Influence he or she may exercise. The peoide who are engaged in the very difficult ta.sk of training and uplifting the i-hildren who are ptaeed in the Oliildren's Aid and De- tention Home should have every a.s- sl.«tance and eneourasement. The children themsely^.s have a riffht to su(-!i an evironmeut as l.s needed for healthy development.

Tli» ChllAreu'i Wsrd Pe-iide who have no chlMren, or woo are rortimate enough to have healthy little ones, have no conception of the great necessity for a children's ward in a hospital, or of the hlewlng it Is to the community, A vi.'dt to our own children's wanl will show this very conclusively. It Is hard to convey in words the sfflse of minpled pity ninl thankfulness with which one leaves tli'- sick children's room. On a recent vl.«iit five cases were noticed which are, perhaps, typical. A boy "ho wa.« look- ing forward to his tenth birthday was eagerly pushing his irtvalid chair to the window that he might catch a last gllrnnap of his father, wiio had .lust ben in to see him. For nine weeks the boy had been a prlson«r, and th • coming birthday must be spent in the hospital. The brave little man was a. typlioid convalescent. The cot near him was occupied hy a pretty little Rirl who wan face Rave evidence of a long illness and great weakness. A tiny doll and some scraps of silk showed that she had found occupation for the weary hours. She had been suf- fering from ahscesses that required the cDPstunt and skillful attention of a trained nurse.' It was evident th .• acute stage of the sickness was over, but many a grown tip woman might have envied the cheerful patience of the tiny girl. It was touching to ••• her neighbor wheel his chair to the side of her cot and amusfl her with hln picture book. A merry llttl^ rogue, wht)8« lisp- ing tongue could scarcely frnms Intel- ligible words, danced up and down in his cot. claiming the attention Of nurse or visitor. It was with a nhOck tba' one found that a piaster of paria *a«t encaaed the little body, and that the weak aplne waa being strenfftliened «o that the beautiful b«y wouM eacapj th« tciTlbtc affliction And pain of a llf«Ioat datortnlty.

West Coast Champions Want Game With Wests— Island League Meeting— V.W.A.A. Social Gathering

Salt Will Bring Two Boxers and a Wrestler to Tourna- ment— J.B.A.A, Loses Ser- vices of Featherweight

Tile Ballard Athletic Club, of Seattle, will send over two fine boxer.s and a grappler to the tournament here on the lUth. nan Salt, athletic dir.-ctor of the Ballard A. C, ha.s written the local promoters to the effect that he can send Archie Wyard, 125 pounds. Char- lie Gilbert. 135 pounds, and a 136- pound wrestler.

Wyard Is known to be a clever boy, and Messrs. .Sxuco and Davles are in a quandary as to whom they c*n send up against him. Urauhart Is the boy they were figuring on, and he in every way would fill the bill, but unfortu- nately Urijuhnrt is leaving for Toronto shortly. Unuharfs ho- \e Is in To- ronto, and he has ibeen 1 \lng forward to payli^g his folks a visit for some time. It is said that his return has been hastened by his disappointing failure to beat Patton In the A^mcou- ver tournament last Friday.

Counting out Urquhart, there i.i «tUl plenty of 12B-ppund talent In the .lames Bay s^lns, but It Is do'ubtful If any of th«. other youngsters ere aufllclent- ly deVeiopcd to stand much chance with st boy of Wyard's experience. It Is nicety that either Motherall or Cror- per will be selected tb meet the Seattle boxer.' Scotty McKay Will meet (Jtti bert.

No word has ibeen received ot \iifi boxers Vancouver and New Woatmln- Bter -will send, and tin til that comes the promoiers will defer the drawing Ito of the programme.
