A--mte "Beaver" was the first steamship. on the Pacific, entering Camosun Bay, B. C. on March 13, 1843. Her flag was much-like that ot the Dominion Flag, only on the lower quarter, instead of the coats of arms of the confederate provinces was "H. B. C.," for she belonged to the Hudson's Bay Company, and she had brought Factor Doulg1as with sixteen men, to build a fort by Camosun, which grew into the city of Victoria, capital of British Columbia. (l-What is the history of the steam- ship "Beaver"? _ When advertising stops the profits diminish. So it is set forth in a suit filed against the Daily Phoenix by R. T. Blakeney, proprietor of! the Pick- wick Club Grocery. Blakeney charges that an advertise- ment for his store, ordered printed on the morning of September 3, was not published and claims he was damaged to the extent of $100 which . sum he seeks to recover. The "copy" for the advertisement was accidentally lost in the Phoenix offices. Blakeney describes the dependence of! his business existence on advertis- ing in the following petition: _ “Plaintiff (the Pickwick Club Gro- cery) states that he has and does de- pend very largely on advertising for business and that the defendant is aware thereof; that for about twelve weeks he has been running a special adverisement in newspaper of the de- fendant once a week and as a result thereof his business has netted him over and above his ordinary sales, the sum of $300; that, on account of the failure and the refusal of the defend- ant (Phoenix) to insert the advertise- ment furnished by paper bearing the date ot September 3rd, 1921, plaintiff’s sales for the third day of September, 1921 were at least $500 less than they would have been had said advertise- ment run as requested.
