Editorial Correspondence
VICTORIA, B. C, Oct. 25. One wonders what Victoria
would do without tourists. Officially the 19.13 tourist season is
ov?r, but every boat from ;the mainland brings a sizable bundi
of them. Most of them this time of year only stay overnight,
but you should see them when tliey return to theboat the next
day, particularly the women, littered with packages and knick
knacks, and figuring up carefully to be sure they are under the
$100 allowed for importation by a generous Uncle Sam. There
certainly is tourist traffic that PAYS! If Uncle Sam should
ever slap a few sanctions on Vancouver Island, this tight little
isle would curl up like a fricassed snail the day after!

Perfect weather and we mean perfect. Clear;, sunny, cool
and invigorating, the waters of PuRct Sound, as smooth as those
of Crater Lake on a quiet mid summer day. They are planting
winter flower slips in the hotel gardens. In the country, says
one of the gardeners, the wild flowers are having their second
blooming. If this weather would hold our friend the "blanket

fog and rain in the winter.
How about the wart ' There are two newspapers here, the
morning Colonist and the evening Times. They agree as well
concerning the war, as they agree on other things. The editor
of one believes Mussolini will be forced to make peace in
Ethiopia, BKFORE CHRISTMAS. because of the economic and
financial sanctions of the League of Nations. Another rainy
season will start in about six
caught between two fires. II
League would do no moro about Ethiopia than they did about
Manchuria. He is now on the spot and wants to get out th,e
best way he can, in the shortest possible time.
a e e e e
The rival editor holds to a different opinion. The League's
face will be saved but economic and financial sanctions will
not be effective. Ultimately England will probably hold a pro
tectorate over western Ethiopia, and Itnly over the rest of it.
France has all the African territory she can take care of and is
only interested in maintaining the League, as her first defense
against Germany. So ho expects to see no' European war over
Ethiopia unless there is something like the assassination of
the Crown Prince at Sarajevo in 191J, in which event anything
might happen. s ' . .
, And if England should go to war, would Canada hop in to
help her as she did in 1911? Probably but very reluctantly
the editors agree on this phase of the problem. "Probably"
because of sentiment, the inborn and inbred devotion of Cana

Very different then, than it was in 1914. We happened to
be here in Victoria that year, just after war had been declared.
We shall never forget the enthusiasm and excitement that pre
vailed, the glitter and glamour of the Empress hotel in the

Then this should be rinsed off with
tepid or finally cool water. Then the
skin should be thoroughly dried, pref
erably by blotting with warm dry
towel or absorbent paper.
When the skin is quite dry, apply
a mixture of equal parts of lanolin
and olive oil, to replace the natural

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, speaking
of the administration farm pro
gram, says: .
"It Is the Intention to pass rom
the purely Imaginary phases necessi
tated by & grave national crisis to a
long time, more' permanent plan for
American agriculture.
One good, long-time plan for Amer
ican agriculture would be for the
government to let efficient farmers

might find there a more credible ex
planation, in a few suggestions that
some of the farmers were raging, not
against Mr. Roosevelt or particularly
against the corn-hog program, but
decidedly against some of the men
chosen by the AAA to administer it.
Also you might find there a mite
of farm re about favoritism and
unfairness In the complex local ad
ministration. Such report would explain ade
quately who the AAA boys would
want the president to Issue a per
sonal statement Indirectly dlMVowlng
such things and promising simplifi
cation of administration, as he did.
If the AAA field reports are frank,
they will contain something along
the line of a conftd.ntlsl survey re
cently made by a Roosevelt investi
gator from a Rocky Mountain state.
It was his conclusion that If Mr.
Roosevelt was slipping any In the
farm regions. It was solely because of
"the greedy, selfish, arrogant misuse
of power by thO!e entrusted with the
ad n.tnlst ration of committees nd
commls.il -ns set up by the n a Mortal
administration at Washington."
Following are two excerpts reflect
ing his studied analysis:
"In this state the director of the
extension service is an active candi
date hr the nomination for governor.
"The farm orcttnlratlon wis once
under leadership of a real master
farmer today the oleture pre
sented 1 that of a dead local, a dying

helpful orwanlratlon the farmers have,
and it deducts enough from the in
come of f urn members to keep ellve a
itate agricultural organization.
'"There are meet live 5f farmers,
called by the farm organisation, at
which few farmers are to be found
and none Is permitted to speak. The
few who do attend are crowded into
the back w?at and listen o the presi
dents of busted banks, extenlc
workers, college prof clears from Uome
and abroad, borne demonstrators,
music masters and piano tuners, who
head farm relief agencies.
Ths farm agencies have been
taken over by men 'who have never
raised anything but their hats.M
The political conclusions of this
admire of the president were:

The Low Down on Deer
To the Editor:
With the passing of the open sea
son, on buck deer comes the an
nouncement of discovery, by a Mail
Tribune columnist, bf a freak variety
"muletall" deer found in the Mt. Mc
Laughlin vicinity. ,
For thousands of years the mule
deer has faithfully stuck to his par
ticular range and migrated north and
south as the seasons roll by. The
Coast or Columbia blacktall has here
tofore been equally persistent in mi
grating to high altitudes in spring,
returning to the foothills and valleys
In tutumn. This is Just one of
many traits, or habits, which pre
vents the mixing of species in the
deer fsmlly. Hybrids certstnly hap
pen along occasionally, but they are
very, very rare. The Mt. McLaughlin
deer are imaginary hyrtds as Is easily
proven.
The deer which Mr. Dick Applegate
says "were plentiful about two weeks
ago" along the Butte Falls-Lake of
the Woods road and "seem to be bio
logical freaks, apparently being a cross
between the muetail and the Colum
bia blacktall" are plain Columbia
black-tailed bucks of ordinary size.
The prize winner from that sector
was killed by a Mr. Fredenburg of
Butte Falls. The big fellow was fully
100 pounds lighter than a record mule
deer.
Mr. Applegate further states: "Only
they don't have mule tails. The tails
are black, as tn the smaller variety."
He also mentions & deer found along
the coast as being similar to his hy
brid. They are the same Columbia
blacktall. .
The name "muletalP is misleading.
The "mule deer" was so named be
cause or Its large, mulish ears not
through any tail resemblance. Botb
the mule and Columbia are black
tailed deer. The black-tailed deer
group Is composed of nine mora or
less distinct varieties. One sub-species
was suspected of being hybrid.
Mr. Applegate can obtain facts re
garding the sire and weight of Mt,
McLaughlin buck from the Mall
Tribune files, Jrom Med ford sporting
goods stores, or from various sporting
magazine editors. Hundreds of them
have been measured and weighed.
They have never before been placed
