Letters to the Editor:

chair’
last Thursday evening I was handed’

'a copy of the Review and, as usual,
Pants for Work ; I turned to see what ‘‘Rambler’’ had!

I was awake very.

; how we can “boost” Sidney and the:

;in any land to learn how  certath
, events come about. For this reasom,
without making the bald statement
that I found it at Comox in 1887,
| May say that I had planned to spen
& summer on Vancouver Island
soon as the C. P. R. was opened t
the coast. 7
| About April 1, 1887, I started fron:
Ottawa with my youngest son, W
_T. Macoun, then a lad of sixteen
, We reached Port Moody and took tile
i terry to Victoria, and shortly moved
out to Cedar Hill, and made my
‘headquarters there for the BEASON ,
‘living near or with the Rev. Georgé
' Taylor, who was then rector. He a ad
‘Archdeacon Scriven (late Bishor
| Scriven) were abcut to make 48
‘pastoral visitation at Comox, and
_vited- my son and..myself; to, acgoip,
pany them. We reached -Comox.t
‘last week tn April, and during oH
week the plant wa; found. |

Prof. Henry in his Manual ‘stathe.
that the ‘‘Blue-Eyed Grass” is: the
only species of the genus that tlow-
ers early. In htis he js mistaken, pe
Mr. J. J. White fcand it earlier this
spring that I found {t in 1887. From
his statement I gather that it is quite
a conspicuous flower on the moun
tain. He made another excurslonp
the past week and found it out, of
flower, but brought down some roots;
one of which is planted at the Ex-
perimental Farm.

When Mr. Whita brought
ithe firat specimens they were sc
beautiful that Mrs. White planted
them in her garden and drew the at-
tention of her visitors to them and ‘iy
‘his way “Rambler” got word of |
and brought it to light In your pa
per. To many this may appear e
trivial thing, but it is the small thingr
that give value to moat places, and
the sum of them does the “boosting.”

Next week I will write you abou!

On Sunday last the Saanich In

another tribe known to fame as the

during the past winter months vith’

The battle started about 3 p.m...

and was in charge of “Hyvh Yuh Chief
Blackburn, as indicator man, who
called the game at the end of the
sixth spasm owing to the exhausted
condition of the rival factions. The
battle was a very see-saw one,
