session today of the British Association for the Advancement, of Science, wee the presidential address this evening of Prof. E. A. Schaefer, of Edinburgh uni- versity, which dealt with the nature; ]'WipB!MV Jfl "W»>l^pil '$/;:VJ*ti?***f- origin and maintenance of life. During1 the course of his, address he said:
"We may fairly conclude that all changes In living substances are brought about by ordinary chemical and physical forces."
Speaking of the properties of growth nnd reproduction, he declared: "They are possessed not alone by living bodies, for Inorganic crystals grow and multi- ply and reproduce their like, given a supply of requisite substance."
Further on, he said: "It has been proved that we can no longer consider such an apparently vital phenomenon as the fertilization of the egg as. being the result of living material brought to it, since it la possible to start the process of the division of the cell In the egg and the resulting formaticrrof nils and ultimately of all the tls»uaknd organs, •in short, to bring about th^Wevelopment of the whole body, If a simple chemical reaction is substituted for the male ele- ment in the process of fertiliztaion.
We may even hope to see the ma- trrinl which composes the nucleus *of cell llfp prepared by the combination of th" proper substances."
In summing up his remarks he said that research "seems to point to the . onOlUgiOn that the possibility of the production of life — that is, of living material — is not so . remote as is gen- eral ly asserted."

SALMON PACK
Tailing- Off in Beturns From Alaska, Fusfet Bound and Columbia Blvar
SKATTLK, Wash., Sept. 4.— The 1912 Alaska, F'n tret Sound and Columbia river salmon pack will total approxim- ately 4.227,000 cases, a falling off of 579,000 cases compared with Inst y^nr. according to unofficial estimates pre- pared today By the secretary of the Puget SOund Salmon Canners' Associa- tion. The falling off Is due to a de- ficiency in the Puget Sound and Col- umbia districts, the former parking 427,- 000 cases 'this year against 1,557,000 cases last year, and the latter 300,000 cases this year against 128,500 casis last year. Mr. Crawford estimates the Alaska pack at 3.600,000 cases an in- crease of -679,000 cases over last year, and the record pack of the northern territory. The Increase in the Alaska output Is accounted for by an increase ot' fino.000 cases In the western Alaska pack and the operation of many new canneries In central and southeastern Alaska this season.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4.— One mil- lion two hundred thousand cubic yards of gravel have been swept Into the Culebra cut of the Panama. Canal by slides, according to reports received here today. One, the largest, carried 900,000 yards of debris, causing the canal engineers serious embarrassment, and bids fair to add another extension Of the time limit for the completion of the big ditch.
The slide partly buried a steam shovel and endangered a number of workmen. It also carried down a big Observation platform. The earth set- tled to the bottom of the canal.
The previous slide came six days earlier, north of Empire, damaging the diversion, or drainage, canal, which Is considerably higher than the big ditch, and letting in a big volume of water. Much of this hnd been pumped ont when the second Slide came.
The slides have had another effect which la causing much distress among canal workers. The two-storey Voting Men's Christian Association home erected on Oulebrr.; Heights is sliding toward the canal, nnd the commission has ordered Its use discontinued. Al- ready the Structure is IS Inches nearer the cnnal than when It war built, and there seems to no way of stopping It. Problems of Hew Waterway
LONDON, Sept. 4. — British shipown- ers, according to The Times, are con- fronted by several problems in their consideration of plans dealing with the new situation that the opening of the Panama Canal will create. First among these Is the question; "Is the ^eanal safe?"
"Of course," The Times says, "it is recognised that, a* far as human skill can guarantee Its safety, the canal will be safe, but the canal, with its hum locks, Is the first of its kind, anTi CoDilnuetl on i"o*e 4, Col. ft
of the British press. The. opinion was current today that the government is likely to abstain from discussing its ar- bJtratioa PWBosals until such time as it Is 'ready to submit them to Washing- ton. .
A Washington dispatch says: "It la believed that when Great Britain fully understands that free tolls apt-dy only to the American coastwise trade in which British shipping cannot partici- pate, all reasons foj her desiring ar- bitration will disappear."
Thts belief finds no echo in the Brit- ish press. The effect of the- exemption' of coastwise vessels has been fully dis- cussed. The Times, which is publishing a series of articles on the oanal, reply- ing to a letter by Lafayette Young, former United States Senator, now in England, who wrote to the same effect says:
"He forgets that the cost of maln- tainihg the canal Is to be met by the levied. If American vessels are not contributing their share. the amount to be drawn from vessel? of other na- tions will be bo much the heavier. In other words, amerlcan aeastwlaa ship- ping will be using the canal mainly at the cost of foreign steamers."
Several shippers have advanced a similar argument. The British foreign secretary. Sir Kdward Grey, in a letter to the Gateshead Commission of Com- merce, says that there pwms no doubt that the senate adoption of the bill pro- viding for free use of the canal by American coastwise vessels, as well as American ships In foreign .trade under certain conditions, is a violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, as the cannl will not be open on terms of entire equality to the Ships of all notions. It follows thnt If a Inrse part of this trade is al- lowed to pans' free, thetotal amount of t >]!.. collected will be diminished to a large extent, and as' a consequence, the j foreign secretary concludes, the foreircn trade O* the canal will bo unduly taxed j •on account of this suppression of a part j of the canal's earning power and the | loss will fall on the shoulders of for elgn ship owners.

WELCOME BY WOMEN'S
CANADIAN CLUB
EDMONTON, Alta., Sept. 4. — To make amends for yesterday's downpour, the sun shone upon the second day of their Royal Highnesses' visit to Alberta's capital. The Duke In accordance with his wont was out ,bright and early for a walk In the neighborhood of the royal train. The condition of the roads out- side the city as ths result of yester- day's rain made It necessary to aban- don the intended motor trip to St. Al- bert. By' way of compensation the royal party was taken for a couple of hours' drive uioi.nd town. This after- noon the Duke reviewed the veterans, of whom there were more than two hundred lined up with the cadets and the boy scouts. He talked with every- one of fhe Veterans »* ho always does, and was greatly pleased to find nmong them former members of the Scots Greys, the regiment In which Prince Arthur of Connaught is an officer.
The cadets and boy scouts made » fine appearance and as the Duks, who was accompanied by the Duohess and Princess, departed from the platform before the court house, one small boy scout called out for three cheers for Princess Patricia, which were given again and again. The Duke expressed his pleasure In the splendid showing made by the veterans, cadets and boy seouts and especially In having met eo many veterans who had served In such widely scattered portions of the umpire.
At four o'clock the Duchess and Prin- cess Patricia w«nt to the reaidenoe of Premier Sifton for a reception of the Women's Canadian Club. This even- ing the legislative buildings are again brilliantly Illuminated.

Prominent British Parliament- arian Guest of the Calgary Canadian Club — Prominent People Are Present
r,\LGARY, Alb., Sept. 4. — "It is a singular coincidence that at the last meeting of this club one of the guests of honor should express the hope that members of the British House of Com- mons should tour the overseas Domin- ions before taking their seats and that at this meeting we should have pres- ent no less than four of the most dis- tinguished members of the Imperial House of Commons," said Mr. C. F. Ad- ams, secretary of the Canadian Club, in introductlng the Right Hon. Wal- ter Hume Long, the speaker at today's luncheon.
The guests of honor were Colonel Glbb, Colonel Mackie, Sir George Arm- strong, Bart., Sir Henry M. Pellatt and Major Morrison Bell.
Mr. Long, who met with a most hearty reception, in the course of an address said he appreciated the honor the club had conferred upon him In singling him out to address that leath- ering. He did not think that It was mere curiosity that had prompted the invitation. The only difference between the British subject whether in Canada, Australia or South Africa, or in his part of the empire was the dlfferenci' which was to be found between all men wherever they existed.
AIRSHIP FATALITIES
Three Soldiers Killed by rail Durlag- BEllltary Manoeuvres
BUDAPEST, Sept. 4. — Three soldiers were instantly killed today by a fall from an airship which was engaged in military manoeuvres. The airship was being prepared for an ascent and .was held down by more than one hundred soldiers. A heavy wind prevailed at the time nnd the sudden gust carried the airship away. It rose rapidly and all the men released the ropes but three, they held on until exhausted and fell one after the other.
Death of s»r. E. Btraoban coi
TORONTO, Ont., Sept. 4.— Mr. E. Strachan Cox, a well-known member of the Standard Stock Exchange, died this morning after a long illness. He suffered a paralytic stroke three years ago. He was the eldest son of the eldest son of the Rev. R. Gregory Cox, and was born In 1849. He was a member of the Toronto Club, the Jockey Club and the Albany Club.
0t the many bonds which unite the various provinces of the Dominion none — are so true or so effective in their/ na- ture as the conventions of 'Canadian bodies of a public or semi-public char- acter. One of the meetings of this sort which should appeal most to the people of. this province, containing as it does the bulk of the merchantable timber of the Dominion, is the' fourteenth annual convention of the Canadian Forestry Association, which opened last evening in the ballroom of the Alexandra Club. M111 from every province in the federa- tion have gathered here to take part in the deliberations of the association, which, for the first time in the history of that body, is being held In the capital of the province which has most Interest In the timber resources of the country.-
It. was an unequalled assembly of pro- minent men of Canada that met in that chamber last night to hear from the premier of British Columbia and other gentlemen words of welcome, and, through their representative members, to respond to these greetings. From every portion of the Dominion there were lumV ~ien present, and all were loud in co. joration of the reply which was voiced by prominent men of tho several sections of the Dominion. Praise Provincial Policy
It was no news to British Columbians who follow the trend of public affairs to find that their government was an object of praise In regard to Its handl- ing of the problems which are bound up In the question of dealing with the natural resources of any of the pro- vinces. Testimony was borne by more than one speaker to the value of what has been done by the ministers of Brit- ish Columbia to protect tho forests and conserve the wealth Which lies within thtdr area for future generations.
From a centre of the timber Industry like New Brunswick, through the other older provinces to one which antedates this in its entry into confederation by some few months, but which has only come Into the possession of forests to care 'for within the last few months — or, In other words, since the Borden government recognized its claims to an extension of territory — came the same chorus of praise for the statesman-like manner of dealing with the forestry problem which h;is marked the^.ctlon3 of the McBrlde government.
Representative feathering
When the convention opened last evening there was a large gathering of the members of the association and of the citizens of the capital city of Bri- tish Columbia, including many ladles, assembled In the handsome ballroom of the Alexandra Club, which had been suitably decorated for the occasion. Mr. A. <". Fhimerfelt, as chairman of the citizens' committer) of arrange- ments, was in the chair, and with him on the platform were Sir Richard Mo- Undo, Aid. t'nthbert, representing the city; Mr. J. J. Shallcross, president of: the board of trade; Hon. Colin H. Campbell, attorney-general of Mani- toba; Hon. .1 K. Flemming, premier of New Brunswick; Hon. Jules Allard, minister of lands of Quebec. Scat- tered through the audience were repre- sentatives of other provinces, who, though not In government ranks, are doing their share to conserve the re- sources of this great Dominion.
Hon. W. R. Ross, minister of lands, who is responsible for the present for- ward policy in regard to forest mat- ters adopted here, came In just befbre the meeting adjourned, having arrived by the night boat from Vancouver, and was loudly cheered.

Italy's Demands Upon Turkey Preclude Anything But Her Absolute Sovereignty Over Tripoli and Cyreniaca

It demands the evac- uation of the Turkish troops, and it is pointed out that the administration - Constantinople might Hndflfe meet this demand by proclaiming the independence of these territories,' en- trusting the Arabs to govern them- selves.

ter of Bublic Works in'-Rob- of the West— -~~~
''For the first time In my life I come to Victoria as the representative of a province which possesses lands, forest*, fisheries and game. Until now Mani- toba has been known as the wheat province of the Dominion, and Its re- putation has set the standard for west- ern Canada grain. But from no Manitoba takes its place on a parity with the other provinces and can claim sisterhood with British Columbia in the possession of timber -lands and sea fisheries which we never had beforaj,
.'Van you wonder, therefore, that I amglnd to be in British Columbia as the representative of the greater Mani- toba and to shake hands with the greatest province of the Dominion?"
•jjjrlon. CqIIb 1i. Campbpll, the minister of public works of Manitoba, who is representing the government of Mani- toba at the forestry convention, thus opened a* 'conversation with a Colonist representative last night. He is the envoy of a body of provjniiii] premiers which withstood the attempted invas- ion of provincial rights by the Lauffer government, and he Is proud of the fact and particularly proud of the re- sults.
Mr. Campbell Is well known to the people of British Columbia by r> tlon, If not personally, and it is won- derful how, many friends he has in this city. He Is most optimistic as to the crop results of the harvests In the central west. He predicts a crop of 400,000,000 bushels, of which 250,000,- 000 bushels will be wheat, and he has no further doubt as to the ability of central Cannda to become what nature Intended It to be. "the bread basket of the empire."
"I arn glad to express my confidence in the Borden government as adminis- trators of the national estate," said Mr. Campbell. "The new federal gov- ernment has distinctly made a new re- cord, i'I'I 1 am convinced that when 'the time comes for an appeal to the Manitoba will do <us it did last stand for British connection now, today and forever."

If the owners are Willing to accept the 'proposition advanced by the city relative to the basis upon which com- pensation shall he paid for the land* take,!, the widening of Hillside avenue between Cedar Hill road and the city limits will probably be proceeded with. The Intention Is to widen the thorough- rare to seventy-five feel, which will necessitate expropriating seventeen and one-half feet from property fronting on either side of the present roadway. The owners have shown a disposition to meet the city In a fair way by ac- cepting compensation at a rate of thirty-five cents per square foot for In- side property and forty cents for cor- ner lots. The only question seems to b<v tho amount which the city should pay f»or the moving back of fences, buildings, etc. if the city will pay for
this work It Is not expected that the owners will raise any further opposi- tion to the work being proceeded with. On the abOVe basis the estimated 'nil Of the street widening Is approximately 160,000.

Tfce telegrams received on the Coast did very scant justice to Mr. Borden's Interview with> the suffragettes In Lon- don, indeed they actually misrepre- sented what he* said, for he_ was Al- leged to have stated that the Dominion parliament ..bnd: nOlJurlBdlctlon -over 1$e franchise, which 1*1 not the out. What he did say" on this point, as We gather from fuller reports of the Interview,' was that for fifteen year* the Dominion flections mare held under the provincial franchise lows and therefore the en- franchlsemenuof women rests primarily with the local legislatures. With the following observations of the prime

minister we thlnH everyone will agree:
So far as the British situation is

at the present time are conecrned may l be permitted to make one remark. I think the women of Canada sufficiently capable and Intelligent to Judge these matters for themselves. 1 should like to , add that I would b 3 most happy „to re- ceive any deputation the women of Canada appointed for the bona fide pur- pose of laying before me their Views. I don't want to be led into- likening conditions in Canada too closely to those here. I am not aware thit the laws of Canada are at present unjust to any body of women. As far as the Dominion parliament is concerned cer- tainly we should be most eager to re- move Injustice if it exists. If you have any real 'representations to make re- garding ,■ homestead laws we shall be happy tp consider them.
Mr. Borden gave his interviewers very plainly to understand that a threat of militant methods would have no effect upon him at all. He. said that he might frankly tell, them that tactics, which might tend to make his life "unpleasant or inconvenient or even Shorten it" would not govern his ac- tion in the slightest particular. He said that he would give the most careful

As} to the British occupancy of Egypt, no power has ever raised any question as to Its legality.

MOTE AND COMMENT
Hptt, Louis 'Jules Al'lard. the chief re- presentative of the government of Quebec at the forestry convention, is "i"e of the most distinguished mem- bers of sir l.omer.Gouln's cabinet. He is the first minister of the crown in Quebec province who has taken the forestry question ns seriously ji6 It de- serves, although Sir Lomer Gouin him- self has always been awake to the necessity for the conservation of the forests. Eorn at the beautiful little town of St. Francois du Lac in 1859, Mr. Allard begun the practice of law in 1883; and was created a King's coun- sel in 1902. He was mayor of St. Francois for tbres jrogrs. and 'repre- sented the county pf Yamaska in the legislative assembly from 1897 to 1905, when he was appointed to the legisla- tive council and became the govern- ment leader in that body. in l«io, however, he returned to the assembly and is now the member for the county of Drumrnond. He has held portfolio* m the Gouln government since IMS. First he was minister of colonization and public works; later he was mmis- ftff, Qt BltflHn wnrlri end Uban
leag-ue. Hon. W. R. Ross. Sir Richard reminded the association that this pro- vince- has now the moat modern legis- lation on forest matters on thla con- tinent, the result of a careful Inquiry by the royal commission on forest af- fairs and the equally careful considera- tion of the government to this report and the several sources of advice which they had been able to avail themselves of. The report of the commission hart been looked upon as almost a standard the premier remarked, and there had been many, Inquiries for details of the findings, demonstrating the respect «hhh ti,e foresters of the continent had for the valuo of the work of the commissioners.
Blr Hlchard described the nature or the forestry branch which had been established following the report of the OOWmlssJon, and the wo,k which was being done by that branch. The min- ister of lands, in assembling the siai'r which was to carry out the work ,,r the branch, ho said, had been most careful in the selection of his men and had as- sembled a staff which was not to be equalled on this continent. Men of ex- perience in the several branches of forest administration had been chosen by the government, and the choice made was proving the wl.dom of the minister in the selection he had made. Nothing would, be left undone to utile the branch, thoroughly efficient in every part of its work.
Sir Richard acknowledged the assist- ance which had been given to the r>»- emment in the carrying out of its Policy py the lumbermen and other timber Interests, and also the support which had been afforded by the public In .the. enforcement 0* the law*. On every hand was evident the] same desire to protect the forest, and husband the
immense resource which ihV province had in Its timber. The premier re- ferred on this occasion, as he had at the druggists' banquet in Vancouver, to the advantage which, was af f orded-by these gatherings of men from all over the Dominion,- and the result which must, follow Ih the building up of a strong, vigorous- and energetic Canada. Weloomo Prom City. Aid. Cuthbert extended the civic wel- come, mentioning that Mayor Bedkwlth was absent attending the convention of the Canadian Uniop of Municipalities and Acting-Mayor Okell detained by im- portant business at the city hall. He assured the Celestes that Victorians felt the honor of the presence in their city of. the association, appreciating' as they did the value to the city and prov- ince of the timber of British Columbia. , Board of Trade.
JHr. Shallcross pointed to" the fact that this convention afforded east and west an opportunity to meet, and the people of widely- separated portions of the Dominion to' become acquainted. On. the commercial ground all were able to meet imbued with common aims. Tho people of British Columbia realized what great wealth they had in their forests and how easily this wealth might be wasted, and therefore were glad to confer with those of the east who had experience In conservation. Canada was being drawn on largely for timber by the world and would be drawn ori mora largely with the open- ing of the Panama canal. The two sldvs of the question on which thought needed to he concentrated was the clear- ing of the forest and reafforestation. The great trees now growing had taken centuries to acquire their stature, and It was a big problem to find what were the best trees.-'.to reafforest with. It was to bo hoped the government would establish an arboretum where all the bard and soft , woods' could be tested. It -way the responsibility of British Columbia tc preserve its forests for Canada, especially for the middle west. Hon. Mr. Plenuning Hon. Mr. Flemming, In a delightful speech which was a measure of the man who so ably leads the government of New Brunswick, was the. first to speak Ott Wfcnll of the association In reply to the addresses of welcome. The words of greeting, he said, had been most cordial, most apt ami rutin* This was like British Columbia, which was known the Dominion over for the warmth of its feeling towards the rest of (he conTrdf ration.
Mr. Flemmlng briefly outlined what his province is doing for conservation, and he paid a high compliment to Brit- ish Columbia „s showing the way in the larger problems of forest protect ton nnd perpetuation. He added his tribute to Sir Richard's of the value of gatherings.

Dr. Fornow, on behalf of the Commls- slon of Conservation, brought greetings and congratulations on the remarkable | advance which this province had taken in the direction of conservation. He was glad to 1,,. able to say without res- ervation that the premier Was right in considering the legislation how on the statute books was tho most advanced i"

Cthelral Ve.try MeeUug_At a meet- ing of Christchurch cathedral vestry held last evening it was decided to raise the stipend of the Dean of Co- lumbia, the motion for the same con- • talnlng a very appreciative reference -to his services. It was also decided to give the cathedral clergy power to add to the cathedral staff and to raise the sti- pends connected therewith if deemed necessary. The Bishop of Columbia who occupied the chair, referred to the crying need for spiritual ministrations that existed in the Ross Bay, Shoal Bay and Foul Bay districts to whclb the dean referred in his Easter letter. His lordship thought. however that It would be best tp take no action in the matter until the return of the dean and the increase of the staff. He spoke* of the many -calls on the time of the present cathedral staff, and pointed out how impossible it was for them to do all the work needed. It was resolved that the need of these districts should be brought to the notice of Dean Doull on his return, those present at the meeting pledging themselves to give him their support in the matter.

lupibia receives many .people who have
lived for longer or shorter periods In
eastern provinces. These can scarcely be
called immigrants, yet they of ten need
help quite as much. The women of Vic- toria have the assurance of the deputy
minister of immigration that if they open a hostel here they will receive help not
to exceed the amount of *500. This sum will go towards furnishing a few rooms comfortably and providing for other expenses. There are, in Victoria,' wo- men who have the means and leisure to engage in a work that is' already needed and will become more necessary as time goes on and settlement proceeds throughout Vancouver Island. Is this not an opportunity for some ladles who. in other cities, have belonged to socie- ties formed for this purpose, to take the lead? with regard to girls, the need is now being filled by the Y. W. C. A. The case of families Is sometimes quite as serious. Victoria cannot afford to be outdone in hospitality by any other Can- adian city.
IMPESIAI. PEDEBATIOH
THE IfEWCOMEBS
Victoria women -cannot get .together too soon to try to make it easier for the families who are beginning to come in larger numbers. These strangers may be seen almost every day. A man and his wife and their little family ar- i'vc on the boat and go together to the nearest hotel or lodging house that will c,ome within their limited means. "Fool- ish people," some comfortably situated mistress of a house may say. "Why didn't the man come first, find work and make a home for his wife and children?" A look at the many of the groups will afford an answer. Hflw could the wo- man travel alone across an ocean and a continent with her baby and three or four little ones? Or perhaps the answer
is to be found in the husband's face. Good and kind, though he may be, and gently and lovingly ns he cares for those dependent upon him would he be strong enough to endure a lonely life amid many temptations? It may be that it was foreseen that when the wage earner had gone, the small sav- ings would soon disappear when the family was separated. The risk of com- ing out together many a wise and lov- ing woman will think Is often less than that of separating. But, whatever may be the reason, here they are, these lit- tle families, needing welcome advice, and a home. No one who has ever been a stranger In a strange city need be told that the sight of a friendly face, the sound of a kind voice are very welcome and we are all kind. There are few of us who would, not make sacrifices to help any one in need. But not one of us can Individual- ly meet this need. The Traveller's Aid, Indeed, can and does answer the ques- tions of such strangers. She tells them where they are likely to And suitable rooms and gives them explicit direc- tions or If need be, accompanies them lo their destination. But she cannot do f|°^e^aj^LjSPXs.ls needed.

Mr. J. H. Haslam, of Halbrite, Sas- katchewan, has communicated to The London Dally Chronicle an article on imperial federation. He objects to all proposals in this direction, that have hitherto been made that they do not "aim at building up a complete scien- tific federation on modern lines." We wculd be more impressed by this objec- tion if it were not that the British Em- pire, first and last and in all Its raml- ilcations. is about the most unscientific thing ever desired. Nevertheless as a contribution to the solution of an in- teresting and really important question, although It may not be as pressing as some people think, Mr. Haslam's sug- gestions are of value.
He wants what tie calls a Super-par- liament to vsit In London, the represen- tation of the various parts of the Em- pire to be based upon a unit of one mcrmier lor every 250.000 people, and that a committee of this body should be charged with the control of all Empire matter*. This Super-parliament should hold the same relation to the British Parliament as to the Canadian, Austral- Ian. South Afrlean.and New Zealand par- | llaments. He does not suggest that the Super-Parliament should have the pow- er of taxation, but should request the several .local parliaments to provide the money It might require.
Mr. Haslam does not appear to have, eone very far In defining what tho juris-
A strong movement has been started in the east for the elimination of poli- tical "pull" from the forestry service of Canada, thus following the example of the United States, where, through the influence of Mr. Gifford Pinchot. aided by President Roosevelt, the power of the bosses In the appointment of forest rangars has been absolutely cut out. If there is one branch of the public service in which expert knowledge should be the qualification of appoint- ment, instead of political Influence, it is that of the control and suporvis'lon of the forests, and Canadians are hope- fUl that Premier Borden will carry out his promise and take that step which has proven so successful \n this pro- vince, where the forestry branch Is ad- ministered upon business and technical lines solely, and thus sets such an ad- mirable example to the Dominion an'd the other provinces.- It is true that Quebec has followed similar lines, but in the other provinces the power of political appointment is stUl very po- tent, and often hampers the work of the experts who are given charge of the work. The subject will probably be dealt with by the forestry conven- tion now in session In this city. It is one of the highest public Importance, and the advice of so well qualified a body as the Canadian Forestry Asso- ciation might well be taken by the gov- ernment.

To frame a system of government for tl.e Empire i8 caey enough; to apportion the law-making and policy-making powers between the various legislative bodies that may be created Is not so easy, indeed It ls a. task' that no one has yet been able to discharge satisfactorily to any one.

Hcrerrlng to the request of the United Kingdom that the question or tr.!ls on the Panama Canal be referred to The Hague tribunal, a United States paper asks: "Will Great Britain consent to arbitrate her rights In Egypt?" The answer to this la that there Is nothing tj arbitrate. The British government own* certain shares In the Sues Car.sl for which full value was paid; but al- though these shares carry with them the control of the canal, no preference
The welcome of the' province and the _capltal city was chiefly voiced by the premier of British Columbia, while all the speeches in reply were worthy of the great association which is honoring Hi'- city by Its meeting here. The pre- mier of New Brunswick spoke of what is being done there and paid his tribute to the^ forward movement nlnuin hy this province The minister of lands of Quebec, In a Hpeech delivered In Eng- lish, proved how eloquent he must be In his more familiar mother tongue. The attorney-general or the prairie Province, pre-eminently, came to the convention for the first time represent- ing a member or the confederation which ls now able to boast or the pos- session or fbtfeStS ns Well ns rich wheat fields. That It Is so Is due to the rnct that Its area has been lately quodrupled l>.\ the Inclusion In its bounds or a large part or the unorganized districts whl.-h lie to the north.
All of these gentlemen dwelt on the v.ilue or the convention as bringing to- gether the various portions of the Do- minion and as binding nil in one grand purpose or preserving the common heritage of all In the forests of tho land.
Premier's Welcome sir Richard McBrlde, In his own In- imitable way, welcomed the association to the province and to the city In feli- citous terms. He expressed the sense of every eltlsen of the province of the honor done it by the meeting here of such a representative"'' body of men as was contained In the Canadlsn Forestry Association. The premier recapitu- lated the circumstances which led to the formation or a forestry branrh of the lends department under his!, col-

Blgr Prult Crop— Advices received at the provincial department of agricul- ture are to the effect that Okanagan valley will produce the largest crop of fruit, principally apples, in its history. There has also been an abundant yield of pears and peaches. A great deal of the apple crop will not be gathered until October, but indications now point to the fact that there will be over 100 carloads .available for shipment to the coast and prairie markets. The fruit Is of excellent quality.

The Lorain Range Uses Less Fuel
TIih initial session of the special council investigating committee ap- pointed to Inquire into methods of sewer construction in vogue in Victoria for the past season and to ascertain. If possible, Where the MBO.QOO voted for sewer works has been expended, was held last evening at the city hall, Al- dermen Humber Okell and itleason hearing the testimony ot city E5ngin.ee! Kii.»l: t!if assistant to the engineer, Mr. A. B, Foreman, and Mr. C. O'Meara, en- gineer of sewei4 work. There was a fair attendance of civic 'employees and others , but little information of im- portance was brought but, the officials being asked a number of questions which they were unable to answer of f- hand, ; and the asked for Information will" "be^ forthcoming at a subsequent *fj§^on..:; ; ;'

City Engineer Rust Declares Sewer Work Was « Being Prosecuted With No idea of What It Was Costing
other works wera J|<w|tf jf»ambor»' of men engaged, but thera did not appear to be anyone who. knavw what the work was costing, and ^Viuch work was done " "iw It had heen planned With any Judgment He had abolished the construction department and gradu- ally rearranged matters so that the number of foremen and timekeepers was reduced.
The Northeastern Sewer Referring to the northeastern sewer, the largest work of its kind to be car- ried out this y-ear, Mr. Rust stated It would have been better if the work had not been started at the time it was. eral of the mpn in charge did not appear to have competent knowledge of work of that kind. The city was prac- tically going ahead spending money with no idea of how much It was cost- ing. He- had not heard of any large amount of defective work on that sewer. Taking everything Into account, the fact that quicksand had been encount- ered and other difficulties met, he did not think there had been any wilful waste, but the system of carrying it out was too costly.
\ to sewer works In general. Mr. Rust stated that in the estimates of cost made early in the year, apparently not sufficient had been set .apart for work on streets about to be paved. When he came to the city there n too many heads engaged and practically no adequate system of keeping track of cost of materials, excavation an.] other work. The system of reorganisa- tion Instituted by him 1b still bf-ln? carried out. Personally he believed that the city, in the case of large works, should call for tenders, the' city engineer to also bid, and In that way th« lowest figure for a work could be secured.
Mr. Foreman, assistant to the city engineer, and in charge of construction work, also referred to the utter lack of system previously in vogue. v~A^Joreman ordered material as he felt inclined, and no account of the cost of a work was kept. Now each foreman must make a weekly report, showing Just what the work done has cost, and these reports a;r compared with the idea of ascer- taining which foreman gets most work clone for the money expended. Method* Wow In Use
Mr. Foreman outlined the method now In ii"se for superintending the works, (he means adopted to ensn'ie thai there shall he no delay by reason of the failure fo OPder materials In suf- ficient time, and accurati account Is kept of nil expenditures. Mr, l.in.i now in charge of the sewer work, is, Mr. Foreman itat' '■ H.Q,t an e.xperien. e,i sewat man. but a man In that position dnes not require to bi 00 e. If he Mas a good general knowledge and pan handle men, he has the necessary qual- ifications, .Mr foreman stated t Jia t he ha<l not always had a free hand in discharging men, In that In some eases Influential pressure was brought to force him to show cause for discharging some workmen. Approximately $2S,G00 would be required to finish the eastern sewer. Mr. Rust, when asked Whether, In his opinion, the separate system as adopted I" Vlrtoria. Is better than the combined system Of drainage, stated that Victoria has adopted the former and it Is too late to make a change. Personally, he helleved that with the great amount of rock here, the com- bined system would result in a Very large saving.
.Mr. O'Meara gxve Information as to sewer grades for which he is respon- sible, and which are not always sub- mitted to the city engineer unless the latter especially desires to see. them. A comprehensive plan of the city's sewer system is followed when new sewers are planned. Mr. (VMeara an- swered several questions as to altera- tions in the grade of Douglas street Bewers and surface drains, claiming that the apparent needless work done was necessary, owing to changes In the
street grades after the sewers had been laid.
Another session of the inquiry Wil] be held tonight.

Keta.ln Old Name — The suggestion tr>;uie last week that Pandora avenue from Government street through to Fort street, when the extension now under construction from Harrison street to Kort street. Is completed, be called Oak Bay avenue, was not approved of by the city council on Monday evening. Alderman Stewart protested strongly at the action of the council in sticking to the old name, claiming that when the matter was considered & week a?o. It iv as agreed that Pandora avenue should ba renamed Oak Bay avenue, the name of "Pandora" being applied only to that portion of the avenue running from llnriison street to Richmond road and new locally known as Pandora avenue north. The historic significance of the name "Pandora" was. however, expatiat- cii upon by several of the aldermen, and it was decided to retain the name for the thoroughfare from Government street to Fort street. What is now known, as Pandora avenue north will hereafter be called Spruce street.
Strathcona Park— The Alpine Club camp at Strathcona Park broke up last week, and the deputy minister of pub- lic works, who was north on an inspec- tion trip of public works, met several or the members who were on the way out, at 'CaanpbeM river.

The weather throughout their sta.y in the park was fine, and the arrangements made for the comfort of the party were described by them as perfect. Dr. Mary Potter, of New York, declared that there had not been 9 day during the trip that was not nl"tie a recompense for the time and expense involved in the whole camping excursion of the club. There was some good fishing enjoyed by mem- bers <-f the party at Campbell river. Miss* McCulloeh, of this city, caught a nalraon which, tipped the scales at forty- five pounds, lir. Mary Potter landed some large ones, and others were also fortunate.

How To Treat Your Horse in Hot Weather
(Humane Society Hot Weather Rules)
1 — Load lightly and drive slowly.
2 — Stop In the shade If possible
8 — Water your horse as often as possible. So long as a horse Is working, water In moderate quantities will not hurt him. Hut let liim drink only a few swal- lows if he Is going to stand still.
4 — When he comes in after work, sponge off the harness marks and sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth and the doc*. Wash his feet, not his legs.
5 — If the thermometer is "'» degrees or higher, wipe him all over with a wet sponge. I> vinegar water If possible. Do not turn the hose on him.
fi — Saturday nlg-ht Rive him a bran mash, cold, and add a tablespoonf ul of saltpeter.
7 — 1)„ not use a horse-hat unless It Is a canopy-top hat. The ordinary bell-shaped hat does more harm than good.
8 — A sponge on top of the head, or even a cloth, is good if kept wet If dry. It Is worse than nothing.
<) — tr the horse is overcome by heat, get him Into the shade, remove harness and hridVe, wash out his mouth, sponge him all over, shower his legs and give him four ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia, or two ounces of sweet spirits of nitre, in a pint of water, or glve him a pint of co/fee warm. Cool ills head at once, using cold water, or. If necessary, chopped ice. wrap- ped In a cloth.
10 — If the horse is off his feed try blm with two quarts of oats mixed with bran, and a little water, and add a little salt or sugar. Or give him oatmeal gruel or barley water to drink.
11 — Watch your horse. If he stops sweating sudden- ly, or If he breathes short and quick, or If his ears, droop, or if he stands with his lees braced sideways. he is in danger of a heat or sunstroke and needs at- tention at once.
1J — If it Is so hot that the horse sweats In the stahleat night, tie him outside. Vnless he cools off during the night, he cannot well stand the next day's heat.

After Two Rounds of Cautious Fighting Local Pride Waded In and Finished Ottawa Boy With Rights to Body
Joe h. ■>•!<■: , the local pride and light- wpigrht champion of Canada, added another victory to his unbroken string by putting Billy Allen, pf Ottawa,
away in the third round of a scheduled 15-;round bout at Calgary yesterday. Allen's claims that he wasn't in condi- tion when he lost the title to Bayley in Bassano and that this time he would be in shape to last the limit and win on points if he didn't land a knockout, were kicked into a cocked hat so quick- ly that his supporters didn't know what had happened.
Bayley made the easterner — who, by the way, has a 20-round draw with Mandot, the boy who beat Rivers on Labor Day, to his credit — look like a novice. He said previous to his de- parture from Victoria that he was go- ing to stop Allen this tlm^/Iwd, al- though almost everyone h«iri balteved him, no one bad any M|e* that the end would come so soon. The trouble Is that there are very few,- If any. who
WSmUy know how good the Victoria
[Jlpst lightweight Is.
About all that can be said in Allen's
^l|jftrir is-that .TM;waa gam*, Bringing into use. all his much-reputed clever- ness, he managed to make a fair show- ing in the opening two rounds, but even in those Bayley proved to the big crowd on hand that he was much the better boy. In the final round, after Bayley had landed the sleep-enticing punch and floored Allen, the former champion tried hard to get on his feet again, but could not, falling suddenly on his back and losing all interest in the proceedings until a minute or so after Bayley had been acclaimed the victor
Hook to Jaw Sid It
CALGARY, Sept. 4.— The theory that "once licked always, licekd" vvns again proved to be true when Jc# Bay- ley, with a short hook to the jaw, put the former chattnpion down and out fer '.he count of ten in the third round •>£ tnrir scheduled 15-round bout here ,• his nr. ming.
The sudden termination of the bout canae as a disappointment to the crowd of oOf'O fans who gathered in Calgary's new arena to watch the two men who upon their former meeting had put up the fastest fight in the history of the gaiiin in Canada
Allen was a beaten man before he entered the ring. Not once during the two and a half rounds did the former champion exhibit championship form. He was nervous at the start, and kept appealing to the referee not to allow Bayjfey to hit in the breaks. Even be- fore the. bout started he showed symp- toms' of having lost his nerve. AVhen Referee Tommy Burns, In introducing tne boys, failed to mention that there would be no hitting in the get-aways, Allen took his arm and reminded him of this ruling. Before the first round was finished it was easy to see that it was simply a case of "How long?"
Allen was considerably heavier than at h{p last appearance, and the burden of the extra weight seemed to ma lie him slower on his feet. Tim Vj.-toria lad directed but very tew blows to the face, seeming content in delivering hard body blows. This method of at- tack was what made the bout short. A hard right hook to the stomach sen: the former cnampion to bis knees. He wns down to the count of seven when he arose, only to be met with a short hook to the point of the jaw, which sent him sprawling. At the count of eig-ht he made a feeble effort to get ;:p, but, instead of getting to his feet, he rolled over on his back, and the bout was ttrtlsned: Tommy Burns picked him up as soon as the count was fin- ished, but ii ^VS-S J! full minute ami a half before Allen came to his senses. mis first impulse was to go over to Bayley's corner, but the champion was U ready being carried away from the r'rr, u'fron the shoulders of his enthus- ia:-ii.: admirers.
Bayley entered the ring at i2.ir>, and was followed Immediately by Alien. Both hoys got good receptions. Allen weighed first, and did not stir the ."■rales. Bayley followed, and he, too, was underweight. The seconds were A, Lt. Greenwood and Jack Feeney for Allen, and Fred Oliver and Cyclone Scott for Bayley,
Will B..t AH Wlnt.r
Joe Bayley will return to Victoria immediately, and his plans are to go into complete retirement all winter.

How Many Clubs to Have
Tommy Dunderdale, one of the stars In the B.

Dunderdale received a tetter from the Quebec, K. ii. A. champions, the other day. asking what his terms were and he will doubtless communicate with the ancient capital Club owners when b- arrives back east. He says, however, that Lester Patrick "ran have . the nrjsl chance at his services and Lester says that when plans for the season on the coast are .arranged on a proper working basis he is jrolng to „,.,,, T ,mmv a ._.,
The trouble seems to he that r.ester Patrick doesn't figure on making any definite arrangements for his ini2-'i.i team until the number of clubs the league will consist of Is decided on. Both he and his brother Frank, S has charge of the rink in Vancouver, are worrying tlu-ir heads over which would be the better 'nurse — to run only a two team league or to admit a second team from Vancouver. rf two tc;. evenly enough matched to put up :i

It is stated In a Vancouver paper that three eastern clubs, and possibly four, Will come to the Coast this month In OUeBt of amateur and professional la- crosse championships. both of which are now held by British Columbia teams.
Winnipeg's amateur champions are already making preparations to come to Vancouver „nd meet the champion V. A. C twelve In a series of two matches for the Mann cup.
