The proportion of factory hands an I arti/ans is unusual'y larjje for a city of the size of Victoria. It is impossible t-' stale whether the fur traders of the early forties selected Victoria's situation for ether than geoj^raphical reasons, but it is certain that a more ideal site for a larjjc city could hardly be found.

Within certain limiis only stone or brick buildin^js can be erected, and the numerous recent additions of such structures furnish indications o( confidence which the owtvrs have in the future of the city. In one respect Victoria differs very materially from most cities inasmuch as the business blocks and dwelling houses are nearly all owned by residents. These are rented as freely Owned by Its as elsewhere, but the rents go into the pockets of Citizens. the inhabitants, and it is certainly a great advantage to business men to pay to residents, instead of to some outside capitalists, as such rents return again either directly or indirectly in trade.

Provincial Royal Jubilee Hospital. '<|t The city corporation has borrowed money for improve- ments, such as waterworks, sewera^'e, electric Public lif^'htin}^, etc., but Works. Iiere it will be found that the assets of the city are larjj^ely in excess of the iiabihties. Taxation is very lij^'ht compared wiih otiier cities in Canada or the L'nited States. Excellent free and non- sectarian educational facilities exist for children six years and upwards, nor Educational is there any charge for advanced educati.Mi in the Facilities. High School. These schools are controlled by trus- tees, of both sexes, elected by the ratepayers. Fk'sides the public schools there are excellent private schools, day and boarding, including kindergartens. The liberality of the citizens, assisted by the Provincial Gov- ernment and city corporation, has provided a hospital of fifty-six beds known as the Provincial Royal Ju- bilee Hospital. This was erected in 1890 in commemoration of Her Maj- Hospital esty's Jm- Accommo- bilee, and dation. it ranks high in every branch of med- i c a I and surgical science. The private rooms, which are, of course, paid for, are frequently occupied by persons from all parts of the Province and neigiiboring State of Washington, who come to Victoria for the greater skill than is found nearer their homes. The poor of the city are treated free. The Gorge on Queen's Birthday. Climate is an important consideration when deciding upon a place of residence or a pleasure trip. The rain fall at Victoria is light compared with other parts of the Province. Snow is an infrequent visitor and even then seldom lies on the Perfect ground more than forty-eight hours. So it is easy to Climate. understand why four dollars per hour is charged for sleighing, which but al best is an apology for an eastern sleigh ride. Skating can be rarely indulg'^d in and when possible is carried into the small hours of the morning, as those who enjoy skating must make the best of their opportunities. The prevailing winds in the summer are from the south-west, and passing over the snow-capped Olympians and the Straits of Fuca are comfortably tempered upon reaching the south end of Vancouver Island. Dr. Brycc in "The Climate and As a Health Health Resorts of Canada " says of Victoria : " The Resort. fruits of temperate climates grow well and farm animals live outdoors the year rcand. The climate is milder than in many parts of England, with less rain and less seasonal variations." Instead of spending holidays far from home in search of health many Victorians camp out on sea beaches near the city for some months each year. It is the common remark of visitors from the United States that Victorians have mastered the art of combining business with pleasure. It would, indeed, be surprising if such were not ihe case, for no one acquainted with Victoria and Paradise lor surroundings would gainsay that there is not Pleasure Seekers, another spot on the Pacific Coast where nature has so ;>bundantly provided for the pleasure seeker. Victoria has unequalled natural advantages in picturesque location and climate, and for commercial and industrial purposes is not less favorably situated. It would be beyond the scope of this article to attempt to describe the beauties of Beacon Hill park and the residential portion of Victoria. A feature of the residences is the spacious grounds in which they are set. The ordinary size of the Victoria lot is 60 by 120 feet, but the better class Beautiful of suburban houses stand in lovely grounds measured Homes. by acres. In many cases only a peep here and there can be obtained from the highways, trees and shrubs affording the privacy which seems so much desired. It is not dif- ficult, however, to outline beautiful homes with tennis courts, well- kept lawns, trained ornam.ental trees and cosy arbors of evergreens. •Many such residences command a view of tho Straits of Fuca, ( 10 I about seventeen miles wide, anil llie snow-capped Olympics be- yond.

The brush of v\o artist could depict the beauties of such scenery under the ever changing lights. Victoria is the seat of the Provincial Government and the home of the Lieutenant-Governor, and in addition to the merchants and business men of Victoria there are a number of wealthy resi- dents whose business interests lie in other parts of the Province, but who elect to live there in order to enjoy the social and other f VI ) Deadmans River. advantaji^es of the cap- ital.

There is a first class cornet band in connection with the local militia organization and daring the winter months there is a weekly promenade concert in the Drill Hal! and in the sum.mer two or three open air concerts are given every week in the park and adjacent resorts. .L There are excellent go\( links.

There are so many attractive spots in the neighborhood of V^ictoria that it is really difficult to decide among- them for superla- tive merit. If boating be selected a trip up the Gorge will prob- ably be chosen. This is a stretch of about four miles of tidal water, varying in width from thirty feet at the Gorge bridge to about a quarter of a mile. On either bank near the city are beautiful residences, with ample 'Tounds and picture^iquf boat houses. Then come stretches of fir trees and rocks and further on cultivated fields. Picnic ( II I Points of Attraction. '^3KW m if^ /») f/ic Park parties revel in the shade of the firs and tliere are as well many ideal open spaces tor those who desire to use them. If we take the electric car to Oak Hay, three milts from the centre of the city and by the way, to Victoria belongs the honour of being among tiie first cities on the continent to adopt electric cars - we shall find a well appointed summer hotel, and Oak Bay sheltered beaches where children may find delig'ht in Resort. sunning themselves after paddling in the sea. Boats for hire are available and the surrounding^s generally are such as are sought by tourists. There are many residences at Oak Bay and along the route of the car line, and in addi- tion to the resident population there is in the season a con- stant stream of visitors by car, carriage and bicycle. Frequent band concerts enliven the even- ings there. Oneot thegfolf links and an enclosed park for la- crosse matches and bicycle races, for which a cinder path is provided, are located at this resort. Oak Bay is also Near Macauiay Point. reached by the Dallas Road, 4 ff a fine thorou^'hfare which skirts the sea all the way from the Outer Wharf, passing through Beacon Hill park and along the golf links. There is probably not another road on the Beautiful Pacific Coast possessing equal charms for driving Drives. or wheeling. It is good at all seasons of the year and the rare scenic effects are ever present and striking. It would require the pages of a pretentious book to do justice to all the numerous drives within twenty miles of Victoria. These are always well kept and afford equal facilities for all popular modes of locomotion. t iti) ^^•■r ^^^tar Some Residences (inU Park Views. l^squimalt, Her Majesty's naval station on the Pacific, is four miles from the post olfice, and is connected by electric cars which leave every fifteen minutes.
