'1‘. IION. ARTHUR MEVIGIIEN, ear-Premier of Canada, and for some time leader of the Conserva- tive opposition, recently visited the Pacific Coast. Hitherto his visitsto British Columbia had been mainly on political errands in the interests of the country and the party which he led. He is now devoting his keen intellect to business exclusively, no doubt much to his pecuniary advan- tage. As the Victoria Colonist re- marks, "when he gave up politics for business the former was a heavy

gainer. The acumen which shone so has been translated to a field where

it gets more tangible and unimped- cd results."

The Baxter Government in New

in office. It dates from 14th Sep- tember, 1925. Dr. Baxter is a host in himself, an able leader, and sur- rounded by able colleagues. They have given the Province an abso- lutely honést and business-like ad- ministration of affairs, not excelled by any Provincial Gover ment since Confederation. There was a deficit of $600,000 for the fiscal year which was just closing when the Baxter Government was sworn in, a legacy from their predecessors. This was reducal to $61,000 in the new Gov-

WITHIN thc past few months i there iirrve been a number of deaths by violence or accident. thc circumstances connected with which remained more or less shrouded in mystery; No inquest was held. The Coroner may have been satisfied in each case that an inquest was un- necessary, but this does not satisfy the public nor does it fulfil the re- quirements of the law.

The Coroner is an ofilcer of the Crown. His duty, in cases where any uncertainty arises, ls to consult with the Attorney-General and re- ceive lnstructions. It is presumed that he has done this and that the Attomey-General also is satisfied. But again this does not satisfy the public. . l Ill‘

The body of a man was found in the river at the east end of the city on Tuesday last. It was identified as the body of a man who had been sought by his friends for a week previously. Investigation by the police resulted in the detention of a young man and the naming of an- other who were assoclated with the deceased when last seen, probably on the eve of his death. Also, on account of the investigation, the police searched the shore in this vicinity expecting to find the body some days before it was actually discovered. l L ‘ii '

Nineteenth Century. 150 years ago all that was known of electricity was that ‘a black rod rubbed with the skin of a black cat acquired the power to attract small bits of paper, Compare this with the millions of horse-power energy developed by electricity in our own day and within the past few years. The telephone came within our. own era. practically within our own day, namely, in 1876. The first steamer crossed the Atlantic in i819 in twenty-six days. The first railway was built ‘in 1825.

Within the past few years we have learned to fiy, to converse and even to see across oceans and continents, to dive to the bottom of the ocean; in fact, we have conquered earth, sea and air, and yet we are only at the beginning of things. Science with all its marvellous progress is still in its infancy. This progress only gives us a glimpse of the infinite ocean that is yet undiscovered. The atom, once regarded as the founda- tion stone of the universe, is now known to be itself a solar system within which revolve planetary clec- trons round a central nucleus at distances comparable to those which separate our planets from other and from the sun.

The past 100 years have brought us marvels. Who can guess what the next century will bring?

Winnipeg lhas hitherto held the third place among the larger cities of the Dom- llnlon, following Montreal and Tor- lonto.

Texas, which has 20 electoral ivotes, and which in 1924 gave a ithree-to-one Democratic majority, ls now said by Republicans to be in the doubtful column. This is hard- ly credible, but it seems to be admit- ted that Smith is gaining largely among once prominentand influen- tial former Republicans in the East- ern States.

Complaint is made that the Fish Market in the Market Building is very insufficiently lighted.’ Both the fishermen and the purchasers of fish complain of this, more especially our city householders. The fisher- men come in on Thursdays and on dark and cloudy days find the place too dusky for the convenient handl- ing of their fish. '1t is worse in the early evening when many citizens find the time convenient to purchase for the following day. The evenings are coming earlier now and proper lighting becomes more necessary on that account. Let there be more light in the Fish Market without de- lay.
