They are prepared to lend their most valued experts, or even to assist with capital, in the erection and maintenance of such a hatchery as is re ferred to, and since this generous disposition is something new as incidental to the American business man's natural characteristics, British Columbians may well investigate the cause. They will End, if so they do, that so long as American packers enjoyed without a fear of interruption the valuable privi leie of operating their tinh traps at the Fraser mouth, the first impediment to the free passage of the salmon on their migration from the sea, they were con tent to let the king of food Dsh take his chances it was no concern of theirs. Xow, however, since there is excellent prospect of trap fishing being a feature of the not distant future on the shores of Vancouver Inland, with a possible diverting of the fish on their journey riverward, it is quite another matter, and the American ra nners are prepared to show a generous side of which tley had never before given evidence of being possessed.

It teems altogether natter of sell interest, and linul 1 be weighed as such. The trouble with British Columbians in the past lias been that tliev have been too much inclined to take their American cousins at the most favorable interpretations on all occasions and in ail matters, whereat the cousins have marvelled much upon our exquisite simplicity. A course more apt to guarantee the security advancement of Biit'u Columbia interests would be to meet each new antagonistic move upon the part of friends across the line, with precisely similar methods in our own behalf. That is the policy that brings results in dealing with these particular gentlemen. AVKHICAN FARCE, To call the state of society queer in the I'nited States is to use a mild term, There is something rotten where trial' by newspaper condemns an unfortunate youth for giving his dead child burial iu the water because he lacked money to pay the funeral expenses, and holds up escaped convicts who do not hesitate to shoot, aa splendid, bold outlaws, of nerve, courage and daring.

It is, moreover, a dark shadow on the boasted brightness of the American law protection fraternity that, for a fortnight, the two men Tracey and Merrill, who escaped from the Oregon penitentiary should have defied all efforts to capture them and at the same time have held up the occupants of farmhouse after farmhouse nnd driven pursuers away at the point of the gun. Two brave members of the posse in pursuit of these darling desperadoes got within shooting distance of the outlaws. They wasted a round or two of ammunition and then dashed back to town, where, well out of range, they could fight their battle over again. Meanwhile the robbers want back, back, back to the woods. One is not boasting in saying that nothing of this kind could occur in British Columbia.

If a convict escaped from New Westminster puuiteutiary an event as rare as the Auk's egg there would be no spectacular displays in the newspapers, no relying on a sheriff's posse: the provincial police would quietly start out after the convict and in a few days he would be again behind the bars. This rushing about the country with revolvers, tins firing in the air nnd this lauding of the "dairing qualities" of villains makes one aorry for the I'nited where they manage so many things well, but seem to make a farce of most matters connected with the criminal law. The World extends its heartiest congratulations to the city council and the free library board upon the declaration of peace which resulted from last evening's meeting. So mote it be. The approaching visit to this city of Eugene V.

Debs will afford Vancouverites an opportunity of meeting and hearing one of the foremost workers in the cause of Labor in America to day a man who has been not inaptly described ns tho new world John Burns." Mr. Deb exercises a personal influence In the world of labor that is unsurpassed. He Is besides, respected and esteemed by all classes quite ns much by those who take issue with many of his views, as by his most loy.il admirers and followers. In the passing from the scenes of his earlier activity and continued usefulness of Hon. B.

W. Pearse. Biilish Columbia loses a conspicuous member from the thinning ranks of its early pioneers a gentleman who was as truly loyal to his adopted home as any within the borders of the province. Perchance none has been so generally misunderstood, for there wcie many who ndjudml the bite gentleman cold and unsympathetic, while on the contrary no one was morn quickly moved than he in every cause for the upbuilding of the province or the amelioration of individual distress. A man of marked individuality, much ability, and unquestionable kindness of heart, he will be greatly missed in the community wherein his influence was most felt.

The Vancouver public sotionls children are certainly preparing to take a very prominent and attriictire part in tbe observance In this city of Coronation Day, presenting a concert that will do them Infinite credit iu every possible way. The programme Is varied, novel, and especially attractive; the youngsters have been, training for several months, and hove displayed the greatest Interest in both tho drilling and the singing. The Dominion government has kindly granted tho free use of the drill hall for the occasion, but the cost of seating, and other necessary exMises of the entertainment will aggregate nt least $tKX), so that it is necessary tlint the event shall be well patronized to make it a success, a it deserves to is therefore to be hoped that citizens generally will attend ami second tho patriotic efforts of the little folk. The object in view ia to augment tho fund for the Queen Victoria memorial, and the more money raised the greater credit will be done the city Is this enduring tribute to the (raatstt quaes la tuaXory.

ATTIt ACTION AT TUB BAY. English Bay Club AVill Oive a Smoking Concert Tlfts Evening. English Bay is a delightful resort tbeso mooulight niuhis. There is something very attractive about the beach. Lust evening there were quite a number of peoplo enjoying the delights of boating, bathing aud perhaps a whisper of sweet nothings.

'Ilie verandah of the English Bay Bathing and Athletic Club was the vantage ground of many lovers of the soothing intliUMices of night. Lust night the air down ut the buy was as health giving as any patent medicine advertised to cure all the ills that cuuie out of I'nneVira's box. Music never sounds so sweet ns when it comes over the water nnd sons uru seldom so delightful ns when sunt: at the seashore. To night the management of the English Bay Bathing and Athletic Club will set itself out to please the members and their friends ot thn initio persuasion. A smoking concert is to bo given.

There is 110 need to say that the programme, will be of just the right kind that goes down lit "smokers." When Ihinbnr Taylor wets out to please ho is worth riding many blocks on a tramcnr to hear; when A. K. Wolfen don is at the piano dull care must begone; when S. It.

It might be a good way to fasten the Inn terns by the wire over thd electric light Inmpjt strung across the roads which now exists on tho principal thoroughfares. Every effort to beautify the city upon such occasions help to make it more attractive to visitors and tourists, aud we cannot afford to loste sight of anything likely to bring people to the city.

FHANK KICHAHDS. THE AMERICAN INVASION. Dealing with the invasion of English markets by American drummers, a writer in the Manchester Guardian says they march boldly into private otlices, retaining their huts ami cigars, nnd assure the astonished merchants) that Englishmen are "dead slow," and then introduce something which "will revolutionise the trade." In price, qunlity and utility their wares will frequently bear no comparison with goods made hero or imported from tho continent, nnd tho epetnila tors often return home enilder and wiser. The captain of a well known liner snid recently that he bad never before brought over so many business men in his saloon. But, he added, though they talk of the British gold they are going to capture, a week or two Inter many of them are returning in the steerage utterly dejected."

In thn news eolumus to day details are given of the very important business arrangements concluded by Mr. Jobu Heti llry which provide for the construction of 1 line of railway from here to Midway inder the old V. and E. charter, for Hie entry of the Northern Faeific and Ureat Northern into this city, r.ud comnmnicitioti with Cariboo by tray of reniberton meadows.

Mr. Hendry is president of the Vancou ver, Westminster, Northern and Yukon railway and he hag been east in connection with the financing of that line. That lie has not only met with success in that respect but bna been able to enlarge his original plans by including a Coast to Kootenay line certainly ia a matter of much moment. A line will be built from here, to Su mas by way of New Westminster as part of the V. nnd E.

scheme and from Pumas the Northern Pacific trains, ns well as those of the Great Northern, will come directly into Vancouver. The annou1 cement is definite in regard to that matter and in a few weeks Mr. Hendry hopes to announce that construction will be commenced between here and Quesnel, thus bringing the exceedingly rich north into direct communication with the metropolis of British Columbia. THE TIMB FOR ACTION. In this issue The World preseuts the Tiews of numerous prominent citizens us to the desirability of Vancouverites proceeding at once to form nn active Tourist Association, on the identical liues adopted with so complete success in numerous Eastern Canadian and I'nited States cities, and by Victoria and Nelson in this western province.

Primarily the object of such associations is of course to interest tourists in the attractions for health or pleasure geekers of the represented towns or cities. In this capacity Vancouver with its salmon fishing scenes close at hand, its magnificent park and big trees, its rod and gun sport, its ndjaient beauty spots inch ns Seymour nnd Lynn creeks. Lake Beautiful, Granite Falls, the Capilano canyons, its delightful Bummers, and its utter freedom from the disadvantageous accessories of malaria, mosquitos, and fogs enn present advantages not to be am 'passed, and rfrelv paralleled, by any Canadian or other northwest city. But the n.lvatitnce to be derived ninni tlivi the diverting of tourist to tiiis cily. as it is at pre ent be ii'g (livened to Victoria, docs not end there by any manner of means.

Through the stimulation of the several Interests. hucIi organizations ns Tourist AasocbiCuis are indirectly responsible for improved hotel, railway and steanish'p ficcoiiimodrtions, faster trains nnd boats, anil the expenditure of larje amounts of outside capital among the city merchants of every grade and class. Thus the commercial importance of the city is practically advanced and its natural destiny brought measurably nearer to accomplishment. There are ao many argument in favor of the immediate formation and active development of such an organization in Vancouver and so few and ill considered the objectionsthat steps to give effect to the irlnnlly unanimous opinion of the business men, should be no longer delayed. Let Ilia Worship the Mayor call a jiubljc meeting, and let all citizens who take an intelligent interest in Vnncou Ter'a upbuilding attend that meeting prepared to do their several parts.

All that i required to make success Is the traditional long and strong pull the pull ALL TOGEHKH. is in the last two words that the ecret of effective power lies. Lot Vancouverites drop their personal Hifferences, and work with the single hearted loyalty to their common home that hns been the key to business triumph in other, if less richly endowed, tommunitiea. It may come a trifle hard at first to pull in harness with some tin Jwpular trade or aocial rival but try it nce and the differences will shortly melt In air, leaving a happier na veil aa a Juore prosperotn community. The people have on thia Tourist Amo rlntion matter expressed their individual lonvictiona.

Now let them get together, organize, and work for the success that, with con lUtent effort, if assured, I PEOPLE WE KNOW I Eugene V.
