COMMERCIAL hl'RVEY Ol' VICTORIA I'ltOPOSCIl. In order to place Victoria more permanently on the commercial map of the world the citizen hate been discussing and ways mean and have decided on a course of action. This I what the morning paper of that city lias to say of the matter: Topsy was not mentally concerned about the mystery of life hen she was. asked If she knew who made, her. Her rrnlr was that sh-.-H-rt .i.. 'a; 'v young person. Indeed, but she did not realize iiii.ciion.as necessary to growth. Everything endowed with physical Ufe must be active and aggressive It It hopes to attain the ultimate' object of Its creation. We are told that man, by taking thought, cannot add a cubit to his hls-ture. Uut the great cities of the world did not become treat br adoutlnr she attitudes towards their commercial. Industrial and transportation relations wiwi ine resi of the world, tilasgow became a great and Important business and Industrial centre by converting the. Clyde from a comparatively Insignificant stream Into a river capable of supporting ou Its flowing waters the largest U.lps in the world. Liverpool straightened and deepened the Mersey and made It one of the great shipping highways of the world. London, although we believe It I still the chief city In the world in population and business. Ls still aggresshe and striving for larger growth. It I making provision for further development by Improving Its great water highway, the- Thames, and constructing docks which will be one of the wonders of the world. Vancouver owes Its rapid growth In population, commerce and Industry to Its connection by water with all parts of the world and to Its connection by rail with every part of America. SOMETHING PRACTICAL ' MIST HE DONE. iow the business men of Victoria, who have never been apathetic or passive In their attitude towards the future of prospect thU.port. but have never been quite definite in their views as to what should be done to achieve the objects of their ambition, appear to have reached the conclusion that something practical must be done to determine the status of the city as a world shipping port, con-tlnues the article. There has been a great deal of what we hope we may be permitted to call desultory declamation about the advantageous situation of Victoria on the' great commercial highways of the world and about what should be done to turn those advantages to practical account, hat successful and aggressive, business men are. not necessarily practical authorities on matters of transportation.; The business of tranKirtatlon today Is conducted and directed by S-eclallts. The Victoria Ileal Estate Hoard and the Victoria ''.&m.' merce have decided that the only way In which the matter of the future of Victoria as a transportation centre ran be definitely determined Is by engaging a transportation specialist to make a survey of the situation and to make sug. grstlon based upon the result of the investigations. The matter I now In the hands of the Victoria city Council, and we trust It may be favorably considered by the members of the Council. At the same time we are not In the slightest degree sceptical as to the bu4nes future of this city. Whether the report of the specialist lie highly favorable or slightly non-committal, there are other element. In action which assure the growth and prosperity of the city. The rapid growth In the population of Hie surrounding districts; the establishment of numerous Industries In almost every port of Van-couver Island, and the great Increase In the population of the cities on the Canadian and the American mainland, are all factors favorable to the growth of Victoria. Victoria Is Instinct with life, and therefore Is destined to grow.

THE MAN IN THE MOON ays: The British Museum has Just mount ed a flue specimen of Canadian dlno saur but so far has failed to exhibit a sample of the genus mossback. Thes English Institutions always were rather 9Ut of date. Almee McPherson continues to hold the centre of the stage along with the world league ball games. The Nelson newspaper ls calling on the people of that wonderful city to erect an auditorium to accommodate big conventions, big meetings and a big exhibition. It'a nice to see such ambition In a little mining town. As a metropolis which has arrived we car look with amusement on these puny efforts of others. After all it must be fine to be a lob ster. He does .not have to wear Crabs msy sidestep but they do !t openly and brazenly and do not lie about it or pretend to walk straight.
