framed a number of recommendations for extensive im-
provements to the buildings and grounds, the cost of which.
total some thousands of dollars.: These include a complete
change in the heating plant, important additions which will
modernize the treatment-rooms and hydrotherapy equip-
ment, pharmacy, laboratory and electrotherapy depart-
ments. Refurnishing of the lounge is also listed among the

board. of 16 directors who. will shortly: arrive, from various

Capitol City Named
After Queen Victoria

The site of the present City of Victoria was known
as Camosun, being the Indian name of the locality, the -
significance of which, however, is not known. :
chosen originally not with the view of becoming a city
but as a spot favorable for the erection of a fort, which
was built in 18438. It was at first known as Fort Camo-.
sun, but was shortly changed to Fort Victoria in honor
The site, it is needless to say, was one of -
great natural beauty and was admirably adapted for.
the purpose for which it was intended, that of becom-
ing the chief depot of fur trading in the vast territory
tributory to it and of which it was the ASUIUUSEE RLS :
