VANCOUVER ^LAND'S
NAME MAY BE CHANGED
OWING TO CONFUSION
VICTORIA, B. C„ Oct. 4.—Vic
toria commercial organizations are
urging a change in the name of
Vancouver Island, on whihh VIs
toria is located. Ah the city of
Vancouver is on the Canadian main
I land and not on the islands, many
easterners confuse Vancouver and
Victoria, it is said.
Among the names suggested,
"Quadra Island" seems to find the
most tuvor. "Treasure Island" was
one suggestion. Someone proposed
"Esquimau Island" after Esquimau,
the naval base here, but it was de
cided too many people would be
unable to pronounce the name cor
rectly.
VOLUNTEER WORK

mosities, hatred and ill-will.

sured an overwhelming majority in
the Anchorage section.

urday, and will immediately begin
his campaign in this section. While

of them he was assured that the

very large majority.

Delegate. And many of those, like
Representative John Noon, who for
inerly were regarded as confirmed
Wickites, under the leadership of
Mr. Noon, are actively supporting
Delegate Sulzer.
