J. Fulton seems ofrin to very grave criticism. In spite at the fact that he wa» waked by Mr. Huson repeatedly not to assign the mortgage, but to continue the arrangement which It must be admitted was exceedingly_ favorable to the government, and affected a large saving in public works,. Mr. • Fulton assigned the mortgage to the Haddington Island Quarry Company. Ltd. By doing so the1 opportunity to get stone at five cents a ruble foot for public works passed and with a large contract like that of the Vancouver court house under way this meant a great deal to the province.

The selection of Mr. Wllsen a* president wh* a unanimous one. The mover.J J. Shalivres*, in proposing hfs name, wa* greeted with applause. Both Mr, Shallcrora and J, Nelson made refer*

,fnive to the good «ervlee that Mr. Wilson had given the Tourist Associai on. «Although Mr Wilson objected to a#'-

| repting the position the rrtes oL**Ni>. Nô" from those present precluded his barking out ef-sreeptIng.

H. G. Wilson, on taking the chair, said: “The first meeting I ever presided over was last night : to be elected again to-day Is coming It a Utile strong." It was up tojthe subscribers, he said, to put their shoulders to the wheel and see that the work was done assisting the officers. There were many in the city who had not yet subscribed to_ the fund of the league The first work of thé executive would be to make a thorough canvass.

On The point of à board of management J. J. 8hallcross pointed out that It was well to decide what representation the city council should have on * the board. He suggested that the |

.mayor should be mad*»-H*»n. President I and a member of-the executive, {

A discussion followed as to what j should be done-and how far the articles of constitution would allow them to go

Mr. ShaHeroes suggested tiré* the may«»r should be a member of the executive comm lit tee and that two other members of the city council should he selected on the executive when that body was organised.

This was acted upon and his worship made Hon. President and a member of the" executive. r,

Herbert Kent thought that the services <1f the hoard of trade In connection with the organisation of the league should be recognised by mg king the president a member of the executive

This suggestion was acted upon and Mr. Lelser accordingly accepted theposition.

E. McOaffey. the pew secretary, spoke briefly. He said that already four days had been put in on the work. There was a lot-of unfinished business from the Tourist Association. All this Had been brought up to date. Every inquiry had bean answered. He tHd not believe In having unfinished business from day to day. Kverÿ, auxiliary league had been asked to send In material for the new book which the provincial government proposed to print free of cost.d^The league's stationery was being got

ready and by the next day the various' leagues would receive a supply.

Mr. McOaffey said that he iwtencjçÿ -at ^ncf*-t*» v^>|t every auxilary Forty pounds of literature had been sent at the request of the <?. P. R to Detroit.

DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE AND its WORK.

....ykp Victoria branch of the Vancou-1ytr Island Development League was

formally and hopefully launched yesterday under its owp., officers. It Is now fully equipped, housed and ready for business. In Its elective officers it is represented by many of the most energetic, most enterpritdng, most op* tlmistic and farthest-seeing of the business men and cltlsens Bf Victoria^ Its secretary is a young man of great ability who has had a great deal of ex perience in the kind of work the League has set out to do. At the meeting yesterday a programme was " outlined which promises substantial results: The intention is to reverse the old order as pursued by the iate-Totirlst Associa' tlon, which did good work along certain limited lines. The new association will have for its prime object advertising the resource» of Vancouver Island; but In pursuance of its programme the finit consideration will be to attract the attention-pÇ investors. Bottlers will be the negt to itvéive attention, doubtless because they permanent sources of wealth. Tourists will come last, being "birds of passage," and therefore contributing In a minor degree to the gene'Ati eommer- <laT" well-being. _ This seems to be a‘n eminently sensible classification bt the element* the League hopes to reach. The rich resources of this Island can only be developed by the Investment of capital. After capital has bt*en secured and the works of development are under fray, a demand for the products of set- filers Will arise and strong inducement*

The event of the political and the business yerfr in Canada was celebrated at Ottawa yesterday. Hon. W. F. Fielding delivered his thirteenth budget' speech, making a record, as*the sporting editor would say, for Canada, If indeed it is not' a world’s record, for length of service In the position of Financé Minister.

The annual financial statement was short, concise and businesslike, features to which Canadians have now become accijFtopied under Mr. Fielding s administration of the finances. There was nothing of a, particularly startling character to,announce in the statement delivered yesterday. The changes In the tariff are of a > minor character, and will have no effect upon the general trend of business. The country has been prosperous under the existing tariff, therefore it Is the part of sound economic wlsdorh to let It bo. Under it sufficient revenue is raised annually to more than meet current expenditures and to provide 0f«>r th prosecution of the great public work* which have been a consistent feature of the Laurier regime. The exposition of the Finance Minister revealed little that was not anticipated.

Over the expenditures upon consoll- .1 ..i . ui r« nt AOOMttt a substantialsutplus was shown. The outlay upon capltfal account was heavy, and muât continue to be heavy, until the work of constructing the National.Tranwon- Ilnenta! Railway la completed. The Critic» of thé government will naturally make the çtuel they cub out of this heavy capital- expenditure; but there is umple reason to believ* that the future wiH Justify the A«"ti<di of Abu government In uhdvriakThg, 'tïi conjunction with the Grand Trunk Pacific Hallway Company, tv provide for the development^* such » tremendous exit nt <>f the national <lrrlt,<.ry* as the new line will open up for settlement Even people of ffieble faith ,e*nn«t but admit that the nxperleme of the past has shown that the inevitable addition to the revenu»**, consequent upon increase of population and business, of the Domlinon will more than pay the Interest upon the liabilities* Incurred In ■fhe work. The people of the court do not now. and never did, object to heavy outlays upon enterprises holding out abundant promise- of equivalent returns to the treasury. Ms. Fielding anticipates that the business depression of the past couple of years is nearing

end and that we can confidently look forward tg a return, in |increasing measure, of the prosperous conditions, of a couple of years fif o.

One gratifying feature .of the budgit speech, from the point of view of the taxpayer, is that all suggestions of In- reaslog «lutlçs for the benefit of "in

faut Industries’’ have been resisted with errniiiation. The, present tariff,

which has given substantial relief to consumers in lowered duties, will be maintained, with the tendency in-the direction of stilt’•'further reductions. That 1# what the country looks forward to wIth Imreaslng Interest, as we firmly believe. A trade arrangement has been marie with France whlvji is expected to fit once increase the volume of foreign business and to give relief to "importers and the public generally along certain well defined lines. If treaties can be arranged with other countries looking to a similar result, .the country prill hardly ■find^fauli.

PIONEERS SAY CITYHAS BROKEN TRUST

Resolution Passed Regarding Beacon Hdl Bowling ... - Green.

Breach of trust Is charged against the city by the Pioneers' Association. The alleged breach consisted in the granting of permission for the ereetlon of a dub house and the use of a corner of Beacon Hill park by a boiyllng club.' The matter came up at the annual

meeting of the association last night, when a resolution was adopted, approving of the efforts being made by Hon. J.’H: Helmcken to prevent what he considers a violation of the deed of gift under which the property was presented ta the city In perpetuity for park purposes, and expressing the. opinion that in granting permission vp the Prlarle Club to construct a bôw:- ln-green the council was not acting in the best Interests of the public.

A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the council.

The. annual report* showed the organisation to be In a flourishing condition. In the course of the discussion on these, the suggestion was thrown out that the Pioneers' Association and the Native Sons should amalgamate. This developed some deeded views one way and the other, but - on- the whoie there was no great opposition to the Idea, and it will be laid before the Na* tlve Sons for their consideration.

The following officers wire , elected : President, Joseph Sommers; vtoe-president, W. Chambers; secretary, ' tt, Dallas Helmcken, K. Ç.; treasurer, E. Pierson; physician. Hon. J. 8. Helmcken; auditor, Richard Hall; directors, Noah Shakespeare, C. E. Red- jem. W, O. Carter, James Mulrhead, E( J. Wall. Wm. Harrison. John Robertson, CharîW 'May ward and Harry Ross.

A vote of thanks was tendered to the retiring %ecrejjiry. Alan 8. Graham, for the valuable services he has rendered the association during the many years he has been Identified with It. 8ymps- thy was expressed with him In hla'111* n^ss and hope for a speedy- recovery.

George Jay. police magistrate, and George Dutnall were elected memberj.

It was deettied-tn bold meetings every second Wednesday. At the noxt meeting, after business has been disposed of, there will be a social evening.

MORETON THEMEN’S s

PROPOSED SOLUTION

Financier Outlines Course He Would Pursue in Giving

Metal Standing.

Moreton Frewen, of Ixindon. » director of the G. T. P. who is now in Canada again is expected shortly to visit t!ie lP«at. Mr. Frewen is recognised as one of the beat informed financier* on the

- subject of bimettaliam. When he visited Victoria some months<• ago Mr gjiwro afldreteM th* Canadian Club ua that subvert: "He recently address'd the Canadian Club In Ottawa on the question. . <.- •

Th«»t the low value of «liver was sponsible for tho stimulus of Asiatic industries and the consequent «ft* pres -

. sion of British, Canadian and other Western Industries was tluTstatement made by Mr Frewefi, la his address. Mr. Frewbn took as hi* topic the silver question In Jit# rein Con to European and American commerce with the Far ICast. and he dealt with the matter In a practical and forceful tnanner. There was » good attendance of“ members

the address was mùch appreciated. Mr. Frewen expressed tSe hope that the Canadian minlsTer of finance: would co-operate with the financiers of Great Britain and the Vnited states in the adoption of sortir rrtteme which would advance the price of silver, and Immediately stimulate and foster in-

^dufliries here. His suggestion was the acceptance of a policy enunciated in 1891 by Lord Goat-hen, that is. that a number of itmnll notes guaranteed by silver, good as legal tender fqr only twenty whitings in .Great Britain or ten dollars in Canada or the United States, be issued. !

The question pf silver exchange, he said, was little undersU%od For thirty years he^had studied the matter, and

_had come to th# conclusion that in fh«* present silver exchange there was a desperate ami deep-seated disease which was a menace to western tdVtll- xation. He pointed out how the low silver échange affected the indueteie* here and the effects of the great tall In sliver in the last eighteen month’s. Eighteen midiths ago the business man In the Orient who wished to buy here paid five and a half silver taels for a 8<H4 pound To-day he hsia Jo pay eight silver taels for the tome gold value The result Is that exports to the East are suspended.

stead Of twenty-five, with the Consequence that Bombay industries are stimulated at the expense of British. American and European industries.

__ Mr. Frewen expressed__thfi-Jttpjniottthat In the next twenty-five years gold would rise so rapidly that wages

wand the cost uX- commodities w>uM he <l'*uhl,- It jo, no m.iimi.i, nircr \m-uM he safe. If there was ho correspondent rise in stiver wages in China the cotton and" other industries would ho turned over to the 'Asiatic. Of what use would It be to keep out Asiatics from our borders If we admit th« If products 1».mused and stimulated by every fall in stiver?^ *

The tioschen Plan. **Lord Hose hen's proposal in 1891 was

that the govememht should make a demand, payable over eight or ten year*, for one thousand million ounce*

r, -and thereby bring silver sharply to five, «htiling*, an ounce In conversation with the United Stales secretary of the treasury, the secretary had asked w-hy Canada should not cooperate add make a market for Go halt silver Lord Goachen had esti- | mate<l that the ptilnt of saturation was

A shilling* pi>ta. Lf instead of the silver there were ««sued notes guaranteed by stiver he thought this would Be Increased twenty shilling* per capita.

Mr. Frewen thought Canada should co-operate with Great Britain ami the United States In the Issue a/T-tbeee «mall notes. Some say that after twenty years the price of silver WObtA ►fail again. To this Mr. Frewen re plied that If the tragic lessons of twenty year* were lost, if the enormous object lesson showing the faster- Irig effect on Asiatic industries of cheap silver, did not bring about ft generation better than their fathers, fhe experiment wa* wot worth while He. however.. wa* confident that If once silver got back to its own rating, if the exchange with Hongkong acid China1 were restored ft would appear criminal for- -modern statecraft to nk low silver to fall back to where It now Is. X,.

Lg closing. Mr. Frewen quoted the words of Prof. Francis A. Walker In London, who said he recognised In the* silver question a problem far more important than any problem of finance, a problem Involving the progress of civilization of the Western nations.- J. S. Ewart. K. C.. ashed what effe< t the silver notes Would have on the present gold note* Mr. Frewen did not consider that there would be any effect as gold secured notes In affecting the level of the money market. Attracted by the slightest highe.r level, imports come into Canada and exports are curtailed. With the result that the balance Is against Canada. The United States manufacturers demand this difference in gold. Mr. Frewen said he would tike to see the silver notes tak#- the place oT the unsecured treasury note* Great Britain Just1 now was In

This Empress Subdivision is a splendid buy. The $1,500 building restriction which we have placed on it will help materially in inducing prospective builders to erect here a superior class of house. The whole subdivision is in the direct path of Victoria’s natural northern expansion. It is already touched by new buildings. It is in a particularly healthy section of the city and sheltered as few parts are from the strong winds off the Straits.

TACOMA DOG SHOW

To be well-dressed is to topic nice ; to be less well-dressed is to look stunning and up-to-date ; to be over-dressed is to look unbecoming.

The Semi-readÿ idea is to. select fabrics and to formulate designs which will be both becoming and attractive to men of good taste in dress. Because they are cheaper than a gentleman has been accustomed to paying is proof only of modem methods-ruLsystem, organization and wholesale dealing between the mills and the customer.

Camosun Will Not Visit This Port 'Until New Vessel

Arrives.-------------- - ■ "V- ■ '

The locaP office of the Union Steamship Company has been riot tried that the Steamer Camosun will not run to this port this year, but that by. another season the company wlH have another steamer, when Victoria will be Included in 'the route,

Some time ago the Union Uumpuny made an effort to Secure, suitable wharfage at the inner hafbor, but' none could be obtained. Dockage at the Outer wharf is not considered satisfactory for boats of the class of the Camosun. as It Is too. far away from the centre of the city. This fact and the large amount of business ex Peeled this year In connection with the building up of Prince Rupert, as well as the small number of steamers the . company has to operate, makes It difficult for them to run to Victoria' this year. Connections Will be made with the ferry steamers to Vancouver and,through- rates given from this port, and the company expect to do eon side cable business with Victoria Indirectly.

A new steamer will be secured before «notiu*reason, one that will be equal to or better^than the Camosun. It Is not known definitely whether this craft will be built especially for the work or purchased.

The Union Steamship Company further announce that they will have direct connection with Stewart City and other points on Portland Canal. The Camosun will arrive nt Prince 'Rupert on Sundays and wU* meet one of thé smaller steamers owned by the company, which will sail direct for the new mining region.

The Camosun. which has been overhauling at the Machinery Depot's Ways, will leavo this afternoon for Vancouver.

The report of the Kosmn* line for the year 1908 states that the traffic with the West Coast of America Wa.* exceptionally unprofitable, more especially as regards Chile, where commercial affairs were In an extremely depressed condition. The falling off was so great* indeed, that whereas in former years outside steamers had to be chartered to cope with the cargoes offering, last year several of the company's own boats had to be laid up fbr month* ut a stretch, and even at the present time the fleet is not in full employment Not only in the case of (’hn^ trfftrTpT^ i^ that of all the other countries on the West Coast, there was a seriouw setback. and the same may be said with regard to the coastal traffic from California to Central and South" America During the last few weeks of the year, however, a slight Improvement was manifest in all West Coast business.

Tbe company took a share last year In the transport of cpffee from Central America, both by way of Magellan^ Strait# and via the- Panama railway, but the shortness of the harvest rendered that business unsatisfactory. This year's coffee harvest l* more abundant, and as the company has made arrangement* with the Tehuantepec National Railway Company, whereby an extraordinary short con* neetion with'Europe is afforded across the Isthmus nf Tehuantepec, a better result from the con veyance of coffee cargoes may be confidently expected In the current year

The profit and loss account for three years shows dividends of 14 per cent, in 1906: 9 per cent. In 19Q7; and 3 per cent In 1908.

From the Mexican Herald.

During the middle ages, the trade Toute tr<m the far east, from the Indies i ,d China reached Europe through; the gre^t commercial republic of Venice. After the occupation by the Spaniards of what we "know now as Mexico, a great deaf of this traffic, especially the Vhlneee. portion of It, took a new road to Eurqpe. The Spanish government established a line of armed ships • nmraanded by king'* officers and heavily armed, that made the Journey at stated intervals, 'between Acapulco and the Philippines <md vice versa. These véwela. were termed galleons or treasure ships. In the eastern island, dependencies of Spain,vthe treasures of the east wefe collected, ithc silks, spices and the thousand gnd one treasures, that were Kuch rarietle* in Europe and *o»common In Asia. These came to the great pnrt of Acaptiicb and then over, the old cobble-stoned "camlno real** from there to the City of Mexico, fhence, via Iâlapa to VeraVnu.

For weeks hidden In thé- dank sea-fog the small ship waited and then the great un wieldly ghlleon staggered Ujto sight and a few hours settled it, for as the old song goes the English were "hoarse with anger and drunk with fight" and they never ceased to ask If the enemy had "struck." which they always did, for who could fight these “Lutheran dogs" who lived upon ocean foam and drank the blood of sea-gulls.

What the woman who has visited the Christie Factory says to her friends—

I NEVER realized all that the 'Christie* brand on biscuits meant until I

went through the big factory in Toronto.

"The cleanliness of the whole place amazed me. I don’t mean that it is dean as judged S'factory standards, but clean according to any standard.

"We women control the pursestrings .wbcftjt comes to buying biseuits.-ond itVnb won der Christie, Brown & Co. are glad to have us inspect their factory. To my mind it is tÿe

strongest advertisement theycould have."You’d be surprised to see the staff that is

kept busy, davifl and day out all the year round—-cleaning, deaning, deaning."The windows, floors, walls, ceilings, machinery, etc.—all speak volumes for the sanitary conditions under which Christie’s Biscuits are made.“It’s a picture to see the 'Christie Girls'—over three hundred of them—in spotlesswhite. Each girl is supplied with two complete uniforms a week from the firm’s private laundry.“At every turn I found fresh *

evidence of tKe Unusual rare which is taken to preserve absolute cleanliness.- _ "’Tt.was explained to me how every ounce of raw material is tested, and how, at each step throughout the process of mixing, baking and picking, the Christie quality is jealously guarded."I am convinced that if every woman in Canada could visit the Christie factory as I did, they would not think of using anv but Christie’s Biscuits in future.’’.The best Grocers everywhere in Canada have Christie’s Biscuits. Sold in bulk, by the pound, or in moisture and

-dust-proof packages. —

CEDAR COTTAGE PARK is the triangular piece surrounded by Westminster Road, -Victoria Road and Bod well Road,' in District Lot jj41.

Cedar Cottage Park is just soutlrof Cedar Cottage* and Epwofth Car Stations.Every lot in (he sub-division is easy of access and can he cleared for a trifling cost.There is a proposed ear.line right along the west side of the property on Victoria Road.The municipality of South Vancouver have cleared a way preparatory to building sidewalks mrtbe (itreet and

the sidewalks will goon be laid. r.../. ' ' •From Cedar Cottage Park you have a commanding and excellent view of the cities of Vancouver and North Van-

couver, Burrard fnlet-and the mountains. It is really one of the most desirable suburban sites of Vancouver. The prices of lots in Cedar Cottage Park are lower than anything else offered in the neighborhood, while the site is as good as the best and very few are equal to it. “ T .

We believe that an mvcatmenTtn Cedar Cottage Park lots will net you a nice profit in a short time and jvc think that you will agree with us as soon as'yon have seen the property. ' — - ■—

You only need to see Cedar Cottage Park to know what we say about'it isttrue. Si une ofthe purchasers of lots in this desirable sub-division have made statements even more favorable to it than anÿTfiftTg we have said, which fact should have much weight with you. j —’—.'.... 7 . „

You will find it to your advantage to see Cedar Cottage Park, then secure your lots there-—one at least. It is better than keeping your money in the bank, because it is just as safe and will yield much greater returns. Safety and good profits are what you want, isn’t.itf \

Victoria's leading fTflzens are investing ip these lots. A gentleman of 2f>,yeggs' resilience in tins city, and occupying one of the leading positions here, has just returned from Vancouver, and having bought six of these lots in this subdivision. says the property is an excellent investment.

Over 40 lots sold in two days. cTo any.purchasers who are dubious as to this investment, the owners have instructed us to gnnrantee that money

will hemfundéd if purchasers are not satisfied with their purchase after seing the property, and will do so any time within three months ftom date. .

Range from $375 to $450V With only One-Fifth Cash, Balance in~6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 Months ; in other words, you have Two and a Half Years to pay for these lots

MODERN METHODS OF y MINING IN BOUNDARY

atLabor Saving Devices Plants of B. C. Copper

Company.

The mine» And smelters of the^ Boundary district have reached a stage /of efficiency which is almost without/ a parallel, says the Greenwood Tlnws. Members ef the Canadian Mining Institute and tlietr guests from various parts of the world who recently inspected the B. C.'Copper Company*<Greenwood properties were astounded npt only at the magnitude of .the operations but also at the sn\atl number of men required to do the work ; and a glance at the annual report of this company will convince anyone that a truly remarkable state of affairs \ has been brought about.

The small number of men employed

of the extraction of the valuable met*) from their ores.

It would seem that the B. CV Copper Company has well-nigh1 reached,perfection In the mining and smelting of each ton al ore for 12.63, which includes all larges frotn the solid ore In thé mine

to the finished product. Under present conditions H Is prob^yjfc4mpoeslble to treat this ore for any less than it is being treated fo-day, but we believe that the day is not far away when the extensive .,roal area, but seven miles from, GrNUprôod» will be opened up. and the, smelters own and operate their own <»oal mines in the Boundary. V

When one considers that 76 per cent, of the smelting charges goes for coke alone, and that It costs $2.25 a ton freight to bring it here frotn the. Crow’s Nest Pass, wê can then see that by the

i smelters owning their oWn coal mines and mkkinr their own coke right in the district, that 12 copper-bearing ore will vet he treated nt a profit In the Boujn dary country.

illustra tee the saying that “necessity Is the mother of invention,“ for the big low grade deposits of ore in the Boun-

have been the cause of the devising of special methods for mining and treating It he same.

The plants of the B, C. Copper Company. both at their mines and at Greenwood smelter are demonstrations of what can be done when necessity Is the driving force. In the early days of this company timbering and shovelling were necessary, as that was £he practice In vogue In almost an mines, as It is to- dajrtn the large majority. The cost of both oY these factors, which tn a mine of this class would make all profits disappear, has been eliminated from the B; C. Copper Company's mines—no timber or shovelling being Aone.____

The system In the big Boundary copper mjnes4a ,to make an gjwning In the side or the levels, wh’lch, aH the chamber is excavated,. Is converted Into a gate—known to miners "as a -chute. After this chute has bpen built with Its gate easily opened and closed, tht- ore in the chamber Is broken by means of drilling and blasting and falls Into the chute, from which It ia_removed by simply opening the gate and allowing It to run into cars. The* opening as It is driven widens out In fan shape and oh a gradual incline so that af! ore runs down to tfte chute wherever' broken., The sfgipltcity of this modern methoA

of' rhirfln* is almost glaring, but nevertheless It is the result of long study, practical knowledge and a continual struggle for the perfecting of details. It Is at once simple, inexpensive and safe; and taken In conjunction with the system of power drilling, jand the experienced judgment of the stout-hearted minerjwho britnks' the ground, the splentlid Tecord is made of 1,600 ton# of ore sent down darfly to the smelter with’ an average force of 230 men, Including miners, dUfface men—In ' gt word, all hands. ,
