VICTORIA EVERGREEN PLAYGROUND

ictoria, Canada’s evergreen playground, offers a striking contrast
to the rest of the Dominion during the winter months, for while all
other parts of the country are blanketed in snow, summer never
really loses {ts domination there. The climate is so mild that all kinds
of sports, usually subject to seasonal limitations elsewhere in Canada
are all-the-year-round recreation, and the beautiful setting of Vancouver
Island never loses its chanm. Victoria is essentially beautiful, as the
accompanying pictures show: (1) The Empress Hotel, the Canadign
Pacific Ratlway’s imposing hostelry, headquarters of all social and
sporting events and Mecca of thousands who wish to escape the rigors
of the prairie winter. (2) The “gallery” at the CrystalyGardens, watch-
ing. (3) Bathers in its swimming pool. (4) Butchart’s Gardens, once
@ quarry, but now one of the finest gardens in the world. (5) The
famous Malahat Drive, winding for miles through beautiful mountains,
and (6) A golfer, driving off at the 7th. tee.

Court hearing of the Eldridge-
Corporation of Sumas case is held to-
morrow in Supreme Court. Applica-
tion is made to set aside an award
of $200 allowed the eState of Stella B.
Eldridge for closing of Eldridge road
by the Council. T. B. Straiton and W.
J. Fraser, two of the arbitrators, con-
sidered $200 ample compensation, but
H. A. Burke, Vancouver, the third ar-
bitrator, appointee of the estate, re-
ported a minority award of $4000. The
Eldridge road linked up two parts of
claimant's farm. Sumas Council con-
siders the $200 award generous, and
intends to contest any higher sum.
