The Troubles Of A Young

Governor

MR. RONALD GARVEY, formerly well and favourably known in the British Territories of the Pacific, gained no sinecure when, a couple of years ago, he was appointed Governor of British Honduras.

Ever since he took office, belligerent gentlemen from adjoining States have been more or less camped on his doorstep, trying to start a war with Great Britain on some question of disputed territory.

Now, there are other troubles. This is from the December issue of Crown Colonist:— In British Honduras the Governor, in an address to the Legislative Council took a very grave view of the economic position of the colony, partly as a result of the severe drought and partly because of the depressed state of the mahogany and chicle industries.
