A few days ago the registrar ot tlie county court was instructed by the al- torney-general's office to demand that the city remove Us prisoners.-and that •before the first of the year. In ch« event of their failure to do so, the reg- istrar was instructed to lock up the jail and refuse the city authorities ad- mittance.

lor closer trnde relations ijetween Can- ada and the liritish West Indies. Ne- gotiation's have been opened through the Imperial authorities with the West Indies, and the expectation is that tbu progress now being made will clear ihe way for more direct and detailed conferences between the rcpreaenta- tives ul' the West indies and the gov- ernment of Canada. The I'anadian end of the negotiations is in charge of the Hon. G. 15. l^^oster. The object toward which the negotiators are working Is the establishment of mtitual trade preference. As long ago as 189S Can- ada gave the West Indies a preference ut :i3 per cent and got nothing in re- turn. A special commission headed by hora Balfonr of Burleigh, which was appointed by the British Government to Investigate the West Indian trade connections reported in 1010 that the islands might be willing to extend the L'5 per cent, preference to Canadian products and accept a iovvcr Canadian preference in return, provided the present Canadian system of letting In each year a small quantity of foreign sugar at lower rates were discontinued. The Island of Barbadoos some time ago passed an act giving preferential tnat- raent to certain Canadian products, Imt the list was nut large enough for Can- ada, especially as the Dominion was required to grant a still more extended preferencft in return. It is under- sttood that the principal difficulty to be encountered In the negotiations is the somewhat complicated condition of the sugar trade and the unwillingness of the Island of Jamaica to jeopardize its commercial relations with the United States.
To Xxpodlt* Bnalnasa One of the plans which the govern- jnent la considering for the expediting of public bU8lnes.<i i.«i the committing of «i«tlmates to a special committee which can canvass them Informally, _ calli'ig in civil servants f^r explanations and in general getting the work done outside the time of the house. The Courtney commission In 1908 recommended this, though the Laurler government tooU no notice. The plan seems on the verge of being adopted. I>ast Decem- ber a deputation of over 200 meml)ers of the British house, representing all parties, waited upon Premier Asqulth and urged a similar change, .\fter (lonsideration Pr-.Tiier ABiiilth g«ve a favorable reply, and It seems likely that the plan will b^- .adopted In the British parliament next session.

WASHTXGTOX, Jan. a. miral Roldey D. Kvan.'s, "I'lghting Bob" to an admiring na tion, died suddenly late today at his home in this cit\. Acute indigestion ended the career of one of the most popular officers of the navy. He was ill less than two hours. Admiral ?:vans ;u-ose today apparently in bet- ter health and spirits than be had en- joyed In some time. For years a suf- ferer from old wounds sustained In the civil war, and from recurrent at- tficks of rheumatic, gout, the ^e0 lighter seemed to have shaken off The burden of his advancing days. He displayed high spirits at breakfast and ate s. lunCiieon. '^
In bis lll^rary at 2 o'clock the ad- miral was stricken. His family sent instantly f-ir Dr. S. S. .\dams, who on arrival found him in great pain. After treatment Admiral Evans fell into a restless sleep, and it was thought the danger had passed. Shortly alter 4 o'clock, however, he awakened, and raising himself with difficulty, an- no^uneed that he was choking. "1 can't get my "breath," he said. .\t 4:15 o'clock he died, conscl"\is to the end.
At Ills bedside were his wife, his daughter, Mrs. H. I. Sewall, and ffiis daughter-in-law. Mrs. Frank T. Evans, wife of the admiral's only son, a lieu- tenant on the destroyer Monahan at Boston. The only other members ot tils immediate family who was not liresent was his daughter, Mrs. Marsh, wife of Captain Charles C. Marsh, com- manding the armored cruiser North i.'aroUna.
Admiral Evans was 65 years old. He was born in Floyd count.v, Va., and as a mere boy entered the naval academy at Annapolis. Before he had got far with ills studies the civil war broke out, and throwing his books to the winds, he went to sea and was asslgn- e<l to blockade a city, it was In one of two attacks made by the northern navy on the powerful defenses at Fort Fisher, X. C, that young P^vans re- ceived the wound tbrotigh the thigh that made him a cripple for life. He suffered three other wounds, but as .■;oon as he was discharged from the hospital, be again plunged Into the fighting, and served until tlie end of the civil war with great credit.
With the ending of the war there came a perlvd of stagnation which marked the passing of the old wooden navy. Evans drifted for a time Into civil pursuits, although never relin- quishing his connection with the ser- vice. In fact, as soon as Congress manifested Us purpose to meet the de- mand of Secretaries Chandler and Whitney for a reorganization of the .Vmerlcan navy. Evans came back into the service and was one of the leading experts in planning the rudiments of what is now the .Xmerlciin modern nav.v.
A few busy years engaged on the construction board which planned the modern battleships and cruisers, and In several long cruises to try out the result of his own workon the high seas, brought Evans as a commander to the opening of the gpanlsh Ameri- can \v»r. He wanted a bikttlesWp, and he got c'ne of the best, the Iowa, which represented the latest product of the American shlpyardB.

the
which lumber can enter the frre, of duty. The law which should have preserved the Canadian lumber merchants froip the unfair competition of the Americans was in rxiflmce all the time, but the late Liberal govern- ment did not, apparently, see fit to en- force it. Hav-plly. since the Conserva- tive government assumed office It has Ijcen brought before the attention of tlie department concerned and the law Is now being rigidly enforced and as „ result, it is likely that during the prfi^cnt year a great advance will be ^ made in the development of this great revenue-producing resource of the province.
Such is the statement of Mi- G. M. .\nnable of .Moose Jaw, one of the most prominent Inmher millers in the pro- vince. Mr. -Vnnabie is at present in the city on a social visit witli his brother. Mr. J. V^. Annable of Nelson, who is a candidate for the office of mayor of that mainianfi city. In fui'tUer ex- planation of tlie wliolesale dumping of liip American lumber into the Canadian market and the consequent slackness in tlie production of Canadian lumlierr Mr. G. M. /Vnnable s"ld that the Amer- icans had had the lumher lying up for some time and were rean^y to part with it nt prartlcally any price and found it easy lo undercut the prices of the Can- iidlan l-uinher men. That in itself was a great advantage, but it also had the effect of establishing a trade with tlie cities of the prairie, a feature that was nnicli more important than the mere f>iile at ii ridiculously low rate of a .sur- plus production.
To Beat Oaetoma The .\mericans dirl not stop at that. bowever. They devised A scf>Pme fnv healing Hie customs with lumher that should have paid an entrance duty and ill' that way greatly enhanced their ad- vantage over the Canadian producer. ■my. Annable contended that the. gus- loms officials had been "palmed" in order to let fbe fake pass, but he was pleased to notice that since the Inaug- uration of the new government these prnctlees had been abandoned as they had been brought before the attention of the authoriiies who had taken prompt measures to cope with the difficulty. Mr. Annable explained that by a simple mechanical device lumber actually dressed, was given a rough edge which enabled It to pass the customs without question and compete at an unfair price with the Canadian product. So great an advantage had this given several American firms that It had become a matter of sUtlatleal history that more lumber waa aent into Ca.fttida than was conveyed to other points of the United JKiatea. Now, how*ver, that that sort of thin* la no longer possible, Mr. An- nable ia^^onf^ent that the lumber trade ot n. if- win' develop during the premnt year a» it wa» not allowed to do last year owioa to tho utmatnra! embargo wndar which It *nM compoUed to com- pel wi*«*-"tW *»«? lei*- >i^ddttet.

VAXCOUVER, .Tan. 3.— "The buslnesx men of Vancouver will have to get busy or else wake up some day and And out that .Vlberta has found another western' outlet for Its product.?." Sucli I.-5 the admonition Mr. F. A. Walker, member of the legislative assembly of -Mberta. gives to Vancouver's mercliants and traders. Mr. Walker, who Is here on a brief visit, is a westerner who prides himself justly on his love for rrestern supremacy first and last.
"There are hundreds of thou.sands o bUBhPls of grain in the grMnarles of Alberta awaiting shipment, and neces- sarily must keep on awaiting shipment until the openin.tr of n.^vigatio^ at Fort William." said Mr. Walker. ".Vow. Van- couver is only one lialf the distance from Calgary that Fort William 1s, and If the C. P. R. rates between here and Calgary were in accordance witli the dl-stance we would adopt Vancouver as our port, for we are anxious to ship our grain every month out of the twelve.
"It Is common talk that with the completion of the G.T. P. Alberta grain will go to Prince Rupert for tranship- ment to Kurope. Now, why should not this grain be shipped to Vancouver right now, when the distance from Al- berta to this port Is no farther than it will be to Prince Rupert? The whole nroblem means only that unless Vancou- ver wakes up to what it stands to lose before very long it will find that It Is practically out of the race, so far as Alberta grain Is concerned. And that Is not all by any means.
"If Vancouver is working hand and foot to get wheat from the Peace River country, about a thousand miles away, why does it not think of doing every- thing in Its power to bring here the grain that is already awaiting shipment only one half the distance away?
"There Is already an extensive rail- road programme Intimated by Premier SI f ton, and applications for rharters of new railways are already very extensive, as it Is the object to connect existing railways in Alberta with the .Peace Tttver country.''

"THE GIFT CENTRE"
Tlift mayor'.s .speech opened Ihe mret- iJlK or t!io eleolor.s of tlip Oaklanfls cIIn- trii^t last night. He conKratulateil his heareiH un the fact that the i-'.ooke water Miiostlon •^•as in "slKlit of final settlement. Jle begged them not to be misled by any .siibtei'fuge at the last moment, but to come out and vote for it ill H body and not for somethinK they vlidni want and had said they did not want. Xoi- .HJioulil they "pay any at- tention to the nonsense talked about tlie We.stliolnie I..iimbei- company not l)eing in a uo.*dtion lo carry out the con- tract." If that company did not get it an American company ^vould. The next important auUJect was a more thorough invMtlgatlon o* the Works department to obviate a recurrence of tlie state of tlilnffs they had, had this past year. iHe would restsrn at once it n« if^tifl ptaoert a^atn In a «inular posi* - - Iton by. the action of the oouncit The waste of time and energy hM been 6normous. Now as to their lUtie locfti matters (voice, "that's what we want to know") they had got an adequate fire hall; the car. Una was ready to come as soon as the paving on Hillside
avenue coulii be completed. , koo. TEe" delay In the. sewer service was owing to protracted negotiations with Oak Bay with regard to outfall. An Inves- tigation—Into... this .'n^As now Jielng he] and he understood Oak Bay had now discovered another outf&II; tltla would mean further delay. )9« UfiiM th? 11^ ce.sslty of more practical work oil the part of the executive department. He wanted no personalities but lie wa.s on th.> council in tlielr inlere.«<ts — the city's interests, not to he swayed by otli<?r members Into negvlecting thftc interi&sts. His friends had urged him to run again this year and if elected, he .would fight for their Interests to the last.
A volley of questions directed at the mayor dealt chiefly witli tlie ?17,000 \iited. for sewerage purposes which it \vua alleged had never reached Oak- lands.
The mayor owned that tl;!.'? was so, but said the orders had been given to the engineer to sewer the whole dis- trict and It was only 'when all the money had come to an end that thfi council learned that it hid not been done and that the money had been ex- pended elsewhere.
"It lie Can Earn li."
A«ked li" he would vote for the <-lty paying tliroe dollarii a day to it.t workmen. tl\« Mayor said, "Yns, If he can earn It," (Cries of '"Can he live on It?" and oheersV. He had paid a. man himself three dollani for an elpfht-hoijr day for the paot year and upuld pay him four and five dollars If he could earn It.
Mr. .r. U ncckwlth believed that his four years c.'cperlence on the city council wax a Rood preparation for the office of Mayor, rrlclinn had, no doubt. Impeded the pro- Kress of the councira work and bad done the ell}- no good In the eyes of the out- Flde world. Sewerage was a most Important question: Health came flrst anif .wiihoul proper n»vrt-- seiv W-i- health whs impossi- ble. <ChRers>. They bad not, be nat. pre- pared to admit, had as much altoniion ptild to this district as they had a right to. lie did not consider the mayor's excus»> as to the enjrlnecr being responsible worth tak- ing. He ou(tht to have known what was Rolng on. The responslljilliy siill resf^d on lilm and the council. It was the niavor himself who had moved to delegate author- ity lo the engineer but be could not gel rid of his responsihlHty In that way, (Hear hea.r.1 Why should the cllv wnit on th- pleasure of the Mineral Rubber Co. befor*- brinfflnK: the ear line nut Hillside avenue?

Hy the time he bac> reached San i'rancisco the, strain had become so f-pvere that he was unable to leave his bed, and It was necessary to relieve hini from the command at Ihs^t place.

The poultry show, wJilch opened yes- lerdav Ht the K-xhlbltion grounds, ix I-uUllUnK anticipatlona. Both in num- bers and in th.- quality ot birds shown it is an advance on previous years and in some classes there Is much inor.- to be said. The Judge. Mr. Trew, says in regard to the barred rock in cooy .No. -Ji that it ts the finest bird he has ever seen. This rooster was bred by and is the property of Mcssr.s, Blaclt- siock Bros., of Vancouver. His mark-

the barriuK RoiiiK right down to the base of the feather. He will be hard prpH.sed In time to come by his son, the cockerel In coop 48. The Sliver Cainpliies are the nrst that have evur been .«ho\vn on the cqMf^iMid the opin- ion is expressed tliaSlii(S||- a^e better egg- machines that the iegnorns and far less nervous ami high strung.
The single comb white uesnoms ar«. Mr. Naohtrleb says, tac best cUbb ever tUiown on the coast «n<J the buff Or- pingtons are here in larger ntinnberu than ever before. The Faveroles, sable, salmon and ermine, arc sure to attract much attention with the muff under th^r.WU* yjJ»i,JB0.1b. m«ttmotb iM-..naw tiwhir''iMi';iili|i»ifii ff.fjft iPlcn-

The "Silkies." queer lit- tle white bantams with each feather frayed out at the end, Hr« said to be the only ppecimons <>{ their race in the province. ^
Tlip speckled i?us.iox .should be close- ly studied in tlie pens, .Nos. 358 and ;159. Their length and depth of frame and the amount of meat they carry are re- markable; they resemble ia~j*fianV re- •spects the Jubilee Orpington, but are hardier, more vigorous and reputed bet- ter layers than Rhode Island Reds, wnusw pOi»iimrity tuoy avc .i.ic.y *.o cliallenge in the futun-.
Oerman Antlers. Tlie German Antlers are another nov- elty; the comb when wpII devplopcti resembles a palmnted antler with Ave points. Only one pen . of Dorkings is on e^ihibltlon, that "best table fowl in the world," as one breeder called them. The Silver Spangled Hnmhurgs ex- hibited by Mr. J. G. Whltcomb of I>ady- smith show quality that can rarely if ever been excelled. The speckling is uniform and each feather shows ' the black thumb mark at Its extremity, whlcli it Is the aim of breeders to gel. The Golden Laced Wyanv-iOttcs are often called the most beautiful of the poultry tribe, witli their bronze feath- ers edged with black. The 'White Wyanrtottes are the large.«!t class in the show and by far the finest ever shown here.
Pigeons, like bantamf, aro not so nu- nporous thi^i year. Among t'lc rahtiits the Flemish Giant predominates, thougli the Bclgion Hares, Lop lOars an<3 the common rabbit are represented. This rodent, it is a' relief to hear cannot do well on the Island; he Is the victim of consumption, presumably owing to tlie impossibility of finding a dry bur- row, which is all the better for the future oC the timber.

Mr. John L. Bcckwlth's candid-iture for ihe Mayoralty liri.s been basely rnis- rfpreseni^fl in n quarter from which lothlng clSfV but misrepresentation of £ public rriiiii uttii ever be expected. Mr. Beckwith'.s crime in the eyes of his cal- umlnator Is that he is a Conserxatlve in federal and provincial politics. If this is ft Clinic, .Mr. Beckwlth has many peo- I'le in ilie same boat with him, too many people, to suit the ideas of his as.sallant. It is alleged that Mr. Bf ck- with has been broutrht into the field by ])eople who wish to see municipal r*l- ilks run uii p;ivt.% lines. This explains, Wo Huppo.se, why Jlr. M. .\. .\Innn, om' of the most pronounced Liberals in ilie city, was chairman of Mr. Bcckwlth's organization meeting, and why so many of the most prominent I.iiberals in the city arc active In Ills support. In tli- coiir:;e of this infamous attack itpon a uni-thy citizen, the allegation is made tliiit a well-known Conservative mem- h'li- uf the Legislature said, "Wc niiisL elect Beckwith because we can handle him,"' a stitement which for barefaced falsahood, v.-annot be surpassed in the annals of mDTiicipul politics.
The truth is that the policy of des- peration Is being pursued by a. small mill utttri\- discredited section of tlic Liberal party, a section which is so liiinded by Us own hatred and malice that It can see oni.v fvil in uiiatcver illiectlon it looks, a section which the decent Liberals will consign to oblivion on the fir.<«t occasion that offers. AVo do not helleve this sort of opposition will hurt Mr. Beiicwilli's chances even in an infinitesimal degree. On the con- li'hrx'. wo arc ('"nfldrnt lliat it \\ill cDUse many voters to rally to his sup- poii. I.,ibeiHls who liave any regard for the future of theii- jiarly or any respect for themselves as citizens win icltise to follow H lead tliat ^Alll ident- l!y them with liie candidature <if the present incumbent of the Ma>oralt>-. The venomous attack on Mr. Beckwlth will recoil upon thei men who made It end the candidate nn whoso helialf it has been made. It is all very well to speak well of .Mr. Beckwitli personally. His HSMHilnnl had riiM tiit- iiMidihuud ^u d(> otherwise. Bur the attack is a per- Bcnal one all the same; It is an attack inspired by disappointed malice, and oie of a kind that has brouchf disaster after disaster upon the heads of those directly responsible for it
Some confusion exists in the public mind as to titles and how and . wiiy they are granted. This is accentuated by the- absurd telegrams sent out by correspondents. For example, : wot ■■wer« told not very long ago that Mr. Borden would be Knighted by order of the King l»«tw<mally. aad ths t«muak for tluit «■• isapttonol honor was stated, Ttrft 4o lost recall whether or not we pointed out the abflurdlty of such a atatement at, th^ time, but anyone ought to know that while the Sovereign la nbe fQvn- tain of honor," he exerdsea his prerog- atlTfl on the ><Iy1w 9t hln mt^lft^fff, re»
count with $5,000 and the other man's bank to credit his account with the same amount. Nest morning the rep- resentatives of the two banks meet at the clearing liousc and the bank which holds your cheque presents it to the rep- resentative of the bank on wi..ch It Is drawn, and the lai-ecr offsets it by other people's cheques drawn on your bank. No money changes hands except to meet the balance tliat one bank may owe another on the (lay's settlement. Thus you see that banking business is only mobilized credit.

Two J ears later Sir .lohn was made an Im-^, perial Privy Councillor, ter he was made a Knight Grand Cross ol the Bath. Sir Mackenzir; Bow ell wa:- Knighted on January 1, 1834, nearly a year before he became Prime Minister. He was never made a Privy Councillor. Sir Wilfrid Lauricr was made a Privy Councillor and Knight in 1807, a year after his elevation to the Premiership, and on the occasions of the first Col- onial Conference Sir John Thompson \ as Knighted In 18i8 for services In connection with the Fisheries treaty, and before he was Prime Minister. Sir Charles Tupper was made a Privy Coun- cillor quite reecntly. The title of Privy Councillor Is one of greater dlstlrtrt'.on than a Knighthood

"I cfliiie here from Chicago four years ago," said a resident of- thl."* city." find I chose Victoria in prefer- ence to Vancouver, because I had In mind the history of the rivalry between Chicago and SI. Louis." He ««iii on to tell liow fur year.1^ there, was keen rivalry between those two cities. The younger generation probably does not 'know '''thtb1^|p^i^"'Very. " long - ' ago, ^ St. libuls was the irr eat city- of the West and scoffed at the Idea that her suprem- tufy mold ever b» •«neiifly^tlHr«»t«ned £>• %hc windy towttoh the^ Iftke'Irtfnt.

tably make It tbe great western sea- port of Canada. After his t<nir years' espsrtenee be ts mors convinced of that fact than ever. What be dlsafbTSced
four yeti^ts ago and wbat tbe bsH been asserting for several times four years is now being generally rec- ognized. We do not expect the peo- ple of other cities to. admit its truth , but then St. Louis Ibng refused to be- lieve in a future for Criicago.

Clean, healtiiy nnd commodious schools arc among the greatest assets that a city can possess. For this rea- son It seems essential that the fur- ther sum of money required for the erection of a new high school should be provided. Some doubt seems to exist In the minds of a number of people as to why the extra money shoujd b« required. The explanation is simple. When tenders for construction Wer« in- vited on the plans drawn up Tor the new structure the lowest was greMtly in excess of the amount set aside for the pnrpose. It therefore Iws become necessary to raise toe ektra money wMeb antountf to some |S«O,o<>0. in Vl^ «t t»% Wm^ •»^wth of th« niim-l

BANKS.
Banks are one of i;it> most wonder- ful products of modern civilization. I'ew people think enough about tiiem to rcali'/.r the pari tliey play on busi- ness; but let any one suppose that business tninsactioiis were all carried on with coin, as a certiiiii fienient in the United Stales used to hold a few- years ago, and he will see hr)\v abso- lutely necessary ijanks arc. To the average individual a bank Is a place wiiere you put money for safe keep- ing and from wiiich yon get money on .your own or some one else's cheque; but this Is the smallest part of the bank- ing business. Not long ago the papers told of a certain railway president coming to Canada with a valise full of monf%'. Probably a good many peo- i)ln tiiouKhl It was literailv true that he did so. or tliat, if he did not have the mone>', ho had something repre- senting It. .\s a matter of fact he doubtless, hod neUher. He had floated a large loan, but he never saw a dol- lar of the monex-, nnd In point of fact lie did not borrow "money" at all. .\ll he got In exchange for his securities was an entry in the books of some financial house, and If that financial house had been asked to send out the cash to Canada, It probably could not have done so. It might have been able to do so after a good deal of trouble, but In such a case no one would e>«r lend the railway man anything more. Coming down from transactions in- volving millions, let us take one In- volving tiiousands. Fancy the Incon- venience It would be If you had lo cprry four or rtve thousand dollars with you when you wanted to buy a piece of land. In some cases you might take bank notes, but these are not money. In the majority of csaos you would give your cheque. Just folow out sueh

The London Dally Chronicie says "if British foreign policy were suided by public opinion, an .\nglo-German understanding would be a possibility of the early future." Mr. W. T. Stead says that such an understanding would be easily arrived at if it were not for a coterie surrounding the Foreign Of- fice which can see nothing good in Germany.
Tiiere is no sign of a let up in the flowing tide. In fact 11 would seem to be flowing stronger than ever. Prince Kdward Island has returned a practi- cally solid conservatlvp representation lo the provincial house. .Vccording lo the telegraphic dispatches, one seat Is In doubt, but even that may yet gn conservative. It looks as if British Co- liimlila's proud record had been beaten.

The statement is made that Egypt has ann'^xed part of Tripoli. We sup- pose that the boundaries of the two countries are not \ ery well deHned. The statement is also made that the annexed region contains the only good harbor on the coast. This lends color to the statement. The Sultan has not yet relinquished his rule over Tripoli, and as he Is also nominally ruler over Kgypi, he may properly claim to have the right lo vary the boundary between two parts of his reaim In any way he thinks nt. Italy's position In western Tripoli Is not so secure that she can undertake to say what the Sultan shall do with the eastern portion. .The faet that Ureat Britain exercises a protse- torat.e nv^r Kgypt «»f cwrae atWi^ # the Interest ta the tmnsastl**.

An Indian Wlfa's 'Status — Tho m.^ii- ing week or ten da.V8 will witness the eviction from the Songhees reserve of the past of Tliomas .Tames, who still holds the fort of the la.Ht of the old- tlmors rctainlns Intar^sL in that rrr- c.laimed territory now becoming n part of provincial crown lands through re- linquishment of the old-time Indian re- servation across the haibor. The case of Tom .lames offers son-.f uniguft points of adjustment in federal law as applied to lands under the jurisdiction of the Dominion autborltiej*, the sqimt- tcr having married Into the Songhees tribe, although he himself Is a Cowlch- an. According to tribnl law, his wife became with him a Cowlrhnn Indian. It l8 maintained by Tom .lames, acting under legal advice, that he Is entitled to a share In the partition of the Songliees reserve, and for this reason he has maintained his right by occupancy. The Indian department, standing upon the ancient tribal rule that nn Indian mar- rying Into another tribe carries with him his wife's tribal rights, maintains the rule that the rights pass to the hus- bnnd'R Irlbw, and hold that Tom James and his wife are now Cowichans, and therefore not entitled to any rights un- der the Sonirhees reserve distribution. Acttn* under legal advice, Tom J'ames claims a portion of the distributed area of the old reserve, and the matter of rlfht win now be adjudicated by the courii of law. Thia Is the. laat claim tcbtaufcHslttsain aa»aat of !&«.«««&- 'ment of the SonchMS reaerTatton.^*iUl It Is intoresttrtg, Mat* partlcularlr on

Creston, Iowa.—" I was troubled for a long tiijtf with jnfljuugiation, pHins

ishly taken, nothing is so d&ngeroua'as
indecision. TO keep right on in ustially the best way. There are reckless driv- er.-?, but they are few. On the other hand .there are many careless and fool- hardy pedestrians. The time hns come when more caution is necessary, es- pecially where children are concerned. It is not hard to teach little folUs to be careful, and older boys and girls shmiM he compelled to observe necessary caution.
The Juvenile Court. .\n attempt to depose JtKlge Ijindsay from his position has been defeated. Women all over the continent tviU be ^laii iu hear this. The movement with whiih .Jiidsre l.,indsa\'.s name has be- come idenliiied is one of the jrreate.sl reforms of thi.s ceutur.v. To treat Ijo.vjj and girls who have broken the law. nut as criminals to be exposed and punished, hut as children to be reform- <^cl by kind and wise discipline, is :» great advatice in civilization. AVlicro- CA'cr the experiment has been tried, the results have been good. The judges in most ca.<?es have been lover.s of chil- dren and have looked upon their work .Ks of preat importance. In our own eit\-, as in Vancoii\-er, the police mag- istrate has the ndditionai duty of pn-- .^ildlnEj over the children's court. It is. perhaps, too soon to Judge of the effects of the plan in Victoria, but it .seems to have worked very well. Children ace not brought In any way Into oontact with older criiulnals. .V public trial does not make them heroes in the eyes of ttad children or mart\ rs in those of foolish relatives.

The failures have been comparatively few. \\hile it would be wrong to believe that the truant officer, the Juvenile? court, or the detention home can re- lieve either ptirents or teachers of their responsibilities, there will still be need for them in every" oiH- where there are weak and erring paront.s. By caring for boy.s and girl.<i who are neglected or whoso parents cannot protect them from the temptations which every city offers, the juvenile court does excel- lent work. Thi.s is why women look upon Judge Lindsa.\- with affection and esteem and reJoice in hi.s triumi>h ovei' his enemie."--.
The Chlldren'a City.
Dh llie citizon.s of Victoria sufficiently realize the Importance of attracting to It children? There Is not a city on tlio continent, perhaps there are few In the world, where children should. If proper;^ ly cared for, Rrow up so good, so healthy and .so happy «„ In Vicloriii. One hn.s only to reail the nowspaper.s and the lllu.strationa in the inafrazlne.M to see iliat in all large cities there i« timonK tiic children suffering of whleh the boys aiul girls of Victoria know notliliiR-. (XTild labor Is .scarcelj- known among us. The pinched face of a hun- gry little one l.s .seldom or never seen. Our MtreetK are wide, hihI \p the resi- dential parts of the city each house has room around It for the little ones to play In. Older boys and girls can find .Mpaee In Die parks and open spaces for llieir gan\ea. The cllmnte \» niich that tlwren*^ huffew day* In ih*^ y«>r *1ien wcll-clad ehlllren, however young, can- not amuse tliem.selves in the open nlr. All round Me.q the water, and tile beacli- ea are favorite places of resort In Mprlng and summer. The result la eas- ily Kjeen, and strangers never fall to admire the children as they assemble at school in the morning nr fill the Blreots on a holiday on their way to .'omc excursion. It Is w'll that Victo- rians should realize that children have here every natural advantage and very few of the disadvantages Inseparable from city life. There are, loo, gooil schools where boys and glrls'niay learn how to grow up to be useful and Intel- ligent citizens. Our school accommoda- tion Is, however, overtaxed. The High school t« quite inadequate to the re- tjulrpments of a city of the size at Vic- toria, and the other nchool houses are filled. It Is good policy for Victoria to make her educational advantages the bast In Canada. We went pcopte frAm all parts of the world to make their honuis hei-e.

Drawing of Island League Schedule Again Delayed to
\ Allow Ladysmitli to Form an Up-lsland Section
If the soccer football enthusiasts of l^adysmith are successful, thf Amateur Island football leag-ue wHj resolve it- self Into a Northern and .Southern sec- tion; the llnal pla>>off taking place between the two successful teams for the island champUmship. Such waa tho way Mr. A. Smitli, secretary of the league and also secretary of the B. C. jv_ A. v., who ret"vni;d f rnni Xadysmith last evening where he took steps to form a branch of the amateur UQlon there, presented the case, last evening at the regular meeting .of 'the league and that was the way it*.;was accepteiS l)y the delegates. But the enterprising Ladysmith amateurs will be glyen a vs eek to carry forth t)l«lr;;^ro]ect, which will inelude getting o t*W» ftem Dun- can, Nanaimo, NorthfleW and AlbemJ. The up-islanders niuat "be heard from detlnitely according to a motion in last evening's meeting, at the nejtt meeting, Friday, January 12, and-if-j— not the team will be Ignored. Two of the delegates were in favor of draw- ing .up the schedule excluding Lady- smith for the opening day and if not ready to enter then, the league eould be carried on. or if tliey entered, the Hcbfidulft could be arranged according- ly. But that motion was lost when put to a vote. Mr. Dakers, North Ward representative proceeded then with a second resolution to the effect that the drawing of the .schedule be postponed for one week and that a de- finite answer be asked of Ladysmith by the next meeting. This carried unanimously.
.'Should Ladysmith fail in its efforts in forming a secondary league up- island, their entrance will be accepted provided that !ney are willin^e to go to the pxpens*^ of sending a team to this city six 'fimes during the season, to the single visit, of each local team. Home and home games will be the order of the schedule.
.\Ir..:J-. Sail was present at the .ses- sion in behalf of the Eaquiraalt-Navy team, whicfv he f6;und It nec'e'.ssary to withdraw owing to the fact that he was not aware that the Garrison and North Wards were entering a team when the idea first struck him. upon whom he had depended for players. However, he' very klrcily allowed his entrance fee to remain with the league to defi-ay any expenses that , might., arise bifore the end of the year.
The teams entered in the league to date are— Garrison, North Ward. Vic- toria West, Sons of p:ngland, Forest- ers, James Bay with the possibility of I.^dysmith.
.Mr. A. Smith has appointed Mr. A. Morrison as consul of a new branch of the amateur union which has been es- tablished at the Island port. Mr. Mor- rison will probably form a bonrd wblch will compose a branch of the union to exercise their power over amateur sport in the districts in which it is proposed to enter soccer teams in the Island league.

Both Vancouver and Local Clirbs 6o Behind Guarantee ^
«r-IV!ainlanders Siiffflf. |<^ ^ Extent of $650 . '^
The PvUgby footuail games held in this province "during Christinas week were not a success from a financial standpoint by any means. The Victoria Rugby Union went behind ?250, while In Vancouver the club there dropped $ti50. What was the cause of the laclc of interest in this city it is hard to tell. The games could not have been better, the weather for the first and second games was glorlou.s and while -re mav have been cause for a complaint in the final match New Year's day, the citizens of the city should liave sup- ported the Pacific coast champions in e better manner.
Tho guarantee made by the local club, as well as the Vancouver organi- zation, to the visiting Califo-'iiians, was $1800. The two remaining games in the provincial series should pull the respective clubs even on the season at least. The present B. C. league situa- tion should also.^help In arousing inter- est. In order to hold the Pacific coast championship Victoria must win the two remaining games fro mthc mainland team.
Tho final McKecbnie cup gamer, will be finished off now as soon as possible. The Victoria Union, as v/ell as the Van- couver Union, want me fir.st game played in Vancouver this month, pos- sibly .Tanuary 27 or maybe earlier will be selected. As both teams are now at their be«t, it is believed ..lat better footimil will be forthcoming. The orig- inal scliedulc calls for the first game on February 10.
The opening matches of the Victoria Bugby leagUb take place this Saturday, the four teems of the league all par- tfcipating. -

EDMONTON. Alta., Jan. 3.— It took only three slashing rounds of a scheduled 15-round bout for Bayley, the Victoria bo.xor, to beat Lauder, who until last night itad the lightwelglit championshiii of \Ve,stern Canada. I^auder was sent to the mat three times before being declared beaten by Referee- Hearn. The tliird •ime he went down his manager and seconds threw water on him, but he was of- ficially dccNired out by the referee.
Right from the start Bayley went after hi.-s clever opiioncnt, and although the -Medicine Hat man iirought into play all his well Vcnown foot work, and dodging tactics, the Victmia conior ♦,>»is on him all the time, lainlin;; rights and lefts.
The bout branded Bayley as a com- mg champion. In a few year.s he will be able to stand up to any of tlie top notchers. He carried his bout through In a masterly manner, not only out- hitting Lauder, but out-gtiesslng bJm Lauder's years of ring experience ap- peared usolcs,s against Eayley's ag- gressiveness. The crowd of 1,400 iioo- ple who .saw the expedition were disap- pointed that it did not go longer, but had ten minutes of the fastest bo.xlng that was ever pulled off in I'^dmontoii.
The Hrst round was entirely Bayle^'.s. He made Lauder light all the time. The second round was even, and in tho third Bayiey had his man dazed in the first few seconds.

McVEY AND FLYNN
CHICAGO. .Tan. 3.— "I'll fight Sam McVey in Paris on the night of the Grand Prix. 1 think July 3, and X'U Hght Klynn some time before that, either in New York or Nevada." Cham- pion .lack .lohnson tonight thus out- lined the pugilistic situation regarding the heavyweight ch»mplonahip.
•'There has been so much stuff pub- iisliec^^t IH hard to tell where I am," contlruie3*s=i Johnson, "and I want lo straighten it up. Every manager ot a fighter who, by the widest stretch or Imagination might be called a heavy- weight, has been seeking publicity for his man by a lot of talk.

The champion said the McVey arti- cles would be signed in legal form to- m.orrow and that^the Flynn contract will be signed soon after.

BOSTON, Jan. .1. — Tennis players here commenting on the defeat of the American team In New Zealand ex- press the opinion that another similar expedition to the Antipodes hardly will be attempted for at least two years.
The defeat of both Wright and I-iar- ne<l. the latter by Heath, a compara- lively new player, settled the fate of the Clip for this challenge, and there was little surprise expressed today when it was learned that McT.iOUKhlln, the Cailfornlfln. .inrl AVright, the Bos- tonlan, were defeated In the doubles.
The cup was originally offered by Dwight Davis in St. Louis In iS9'.t and .^•as successfully defended by Ameri- cans until 1903 when the Doherty brothers carried It to Kngland.
AT HALF TIME
John J. McGraw, manager of tlic New York National league team, which is juEt back from Us successful Invasion of Cuba, has no extravagant opinion of the Cuban ball player. He la a dull thinker, says McOraw. but a fast run- ner. "These Cubans arc only fair ball players," Is the way McClraw put's it. "They arc n-s faat an lightning on the IxMjea and they can throw to beat the band. They hava picked up all tho knacks of fielding, but they cannot bat. Not only that, but they do .rtot plaj- what we call brainy baaeball. Little attention is fflvon to brain work on the diamond."
McOraw may be ripht. but that doesn't excuaa hia team from being bumped ao bediy down there in Cuba. It iooka from a tlanoe at the aeorea' th»t thay don't need t« hit. the way thay wla.
