Wk call attention to the letter signed '•Fanner" in this issue, uud wuuld recommend our renders lo pay purlieu* Inr attention to I he views expressed, —♦— Tin: Nelson Tribune advocates legislation against lhe truck system, if no act isal present ill forcetn theprovince healing upon Ihe subject. With the Tribune we entirely agree, as we buld Ihc puwer should not lm vested in employers, whereby nn influence could be brought to bear upun eutployees.whlch wuuld compel them to recupeiale the eiilfers of employers through lhe practice of so pernicious a system, if I lie laborer Is worthy of his hire, he should be paid for the same In the recognized currency of tlie country, aud should out In. compelled to pay tribute to his employer, by accepting nrilers ol) stores, etc,, etc. It is to be Imped lbe mailer will he hulked Into, nml soiue acl inn laken by t he government at the forthcoming session of the provincial legislature. +—- Nut alone iu British Columbia is the ipieslion of placing grealei restrictions uu the promotion of mining incorporation, lining given attention, as it would seem it is pussilile a hill may be introduced in the legislature uf the State uf Washington, having fur its object llie charging of a higher fee for tlle registration of a conipiiny than is at present exacled, the fee lo depend upon the amount of the capitalization of tin. company. Fur instance, if a company is capitalized at a ligtire mil exceeding $1110.01X1 a fee uf ,$111 wuuld be charged, and If over this auioiint an additional charge of 10 cents per thousand is proposed, Under Ihis rale it would rust $100tu register articles of incorpura- lion for a company capitalized at $1,01X1,0011. A very similar proposition is lieing entertained in this province and as ninny, more particularly uniting the investing public, seem lo favor such a proposition, nodolthtlhe mat ier will he a subject for legislation at lbe next silling of lhe provincial legislature, Should British Columbia and Ihe State of Washington adopt such legislation, it would main a tax of $201) upon any company Incorporated with a capital nf $1,000,1X10 lieing registered in the state and province. Such a course if adopted would certainly enrich tlie ceffurs of the governments iu question, but as to whether It would furnish an effectual check to Ihe promoters of wild cat mining incorporations, witli gigantic capital, is open to doubt. Our opinion is ils deterrent effect would be hardly perceptible, and to cure llie evil we would suggest olher nnd more restrictive legislation. What is the matter wilh our contemporary, tlie Boundary Creek Times? In a recent issue of the Times a letter appeared over lbe signature " Mark of Interrogation," which, as explained in our last issue, east, severe relied ions upon officials having charge .if government offices in this district. The Times published a letter which it knew would damn certain officials in lhe estimation of the people, and yet, neither al the time of publication nor since, has it consented to take notice of the anonymous epistle. Wherefore this silence? Is it the outcome ofa conspiracy hotween lhe publishers of llie Times ami parties having a fancied grievance against the officials iu (pies, lion, or are we lo believe that the Times hy its silence endorses lhe strictures and accusations made a galusl officials? If the former, llu. Times is Iuu despicable a publication to it- tuiiln upon Ihe face of the earth, ami if lhe lm Ier, then il has chosen au extremely circuitous met hod of expressing opinions which should only luminal.* from il through lis editorial columns, lu the meantime ihe officials iu question remain under a ban, owing In the fuel tlnil. they have been attacked iu un aiioiiyiuiiiis manner and are therefore not able lu defend llietn- selves or court enquiry l.y the government in whnsc service they are. The i-liiuges are cither true or false, If (rue, in the inleresls of Ihu public specific charges shuuld be made nnd au investigation asked for; if the charges ace without 'iiiiiiilalli.il, u great, wiling has been done nil Ihe provincial government, officials In this districl. . McKINNON ABIDES IN SPOKANE. Old Case Postponed and a New Complaint Is Filed. The following is an account which appeared iu t be issuenf the Spokesman- Review nf the aiih January, relative lb llu. M.'Kiiiimn rase. By it. it will lie siti lliere is a .pussibilily uf lhe B, (j, aiithuili a ba*.lUK tq wait some lime before repaining possession of McKinnni), whn is so badly wanted in the province. The Hrst paragraph is Hot accurate, lis'll was not upon coin- plaint uf Officer Simmons thnt Mc- Kiniion was Hrst arrested. The whole account, however, lends to show how j badly the case is becoming mixed op, and how obstacles are being thrown in tlie way of extradition, owing to a lack of systematic proceedings intelligently directed. Charging a mini willi cattle stealing and then trying to extradite bun for jail breaking is not jusl quite the proper course lo take. Ultimately no doubt McKiniion will be brought back, as more charges than one have been proven against him, that is if flic expected dues nut happen, viz., Ilis breaking mil of the Spokane jail, which is recognized as out being by any means a safe place to keep prisoners: Spokesman-Review: The McKliinun extradition case lias produced aunther puzzle. John McKiniion was arrested un complaint of K. C. Simmons, a constable in lhe service ol her Britannic majesty, the Queen uf Ureal Britain and Empress nf India, un the charge of stealing callle frum Cornelius O'Keefe al Vernon, B. C. Incidentally he was accused uf breaking jail. Extradition proceedings were cuuiniencedi involving correspondence tlin.ugh lhe capitals of bulb governments, in lbe itieatilime a question arose as to Mr. Simmons' authority. A writ uf habeas, corpus was applied for liy Attorney A. I,. Grotty of Seal lie, aud United Slates Marshal Drake was lequired by older of cuurt lu sliuw cause in the federal court ill Senile, January 25, why he held McKiniion in custody. The result is cxpluintd in the following telegram to the Spokes* mau-lteyii.w i '■Seattle, Jan. 23.—At. the request uf defendant's attorney, Jutnes L. Crnlty, Fedeial Judge Haufocd In-day post- polled the hearing of llie writ uf habeas corpus in the caseuf John McKinnun, now iu jail at Spokane, ami wanted at Vernon, B. C, fur larceny in stealing, as alleged, fuur head nf callle, linlil the April term of the United Stales district court iu Spokane, Crotly slated to llie cuurt that tiie Brilisli authorities were in reality trying to extradite McKiniion for jail-breaking, and nol larceny, as set forth, McKiu- iii.ii, it .appears, broke out of the Vernon jail." Simultaneously with I he proceedings at Seattle, E, 0, Simmons appeared before United Slates Court Commissioner Kenyuit of Spokatie and tiled a new complaint against John McKiniion, tie showed lo the commissioner that lle had leceiyed Ihe requisite authorization as agent fm the government of the Pruvince of Brilisli Co- huuhia to act in lliu mailer, ln this complaint McKiniion is charged with participation in the Mulraiiey steer stealing. Tlie prisoner was brought over from llie county jail and arraigned and the case was set for hearing next Saturday. R, W. Nuzuiu bus been retained as attorney for the government of Bri'ish Columbia. Attorney Grotty bits been notified liy wire of lhe new phase of the case and is expected to take part iu Saturday's proceedings unless ihe authorities agree that Judge lliinford's order pustponiiig tlle case until the April term must lake precedence.

Sik.—I sec liy Ihu papers thai your seel ion of our province is attracting a (( good (leal of attention, parliculitcly Id railway matters, If reports are tn he credited, there is quite a scramble as tu win. will get the coveted prizt. Are we to suppose frum lliis Ihal those about to apply fur charters are filled witli a patriotic desire lo see the country developed and progress and prosperity go band iu haud ? Or, are they only anxious to gal bold of trans- pollution facilities uf (lie country, in order thul l.y having the power to dictate rales, lhey mny enrich themselves, mil caring win. sinks or who swims, so long ns thev make money mil uf the enterprise7 Railway construct inn is very nice, Mr, Kilitor, hul when the ml I way becomes ii melius of drawing the surplus cash nut nf Ihc counlry, through ov torlionate rates and charges, ii would l.e altogether the l.isrsl cuurse lo continue I he pack-horse and freight-wagon and keep the money we make In ihe country. How long will il he before the eyes of the peuple nre open In the fact that the railway is a necessary part ofllie machinery fnr the development uf a cuunlry's resources, and shuuld be owned and winked by lhe country, and nut by nn outside company, whose sulc object is to make all the ninney lhey can squeeze nnl of lhe country, using tlie railway as a lever fur llial. purpose? What would you thing of farmers tiud ininers wlio wnnlil give lu a number nf individuals the right lo charge them nny price they saw lit fnr Ihe use of implements and tools used in their uceupatinns? How lung would ii be befure they wen* liiiukrup! 'I Production is unly half the prneess uf turning natural Wealth inlo money; before this can be dune it must be ciitried lu consumers, aud this part, of llie wurk is bunded over to a private company, ivhnse charges make farming and much uf ure mining unprofitable. This iu turn hinders the development of our resources and cripples industry, and isa chief factor iu bringing nn and continuing hard times and business depression. The plea that the cnuntry could nnl afford tn build railroads, will nut, do. Who pays interest ou bonds, cosl of operation, and all the lung list uf costs thai is included in lbe management and carrying ouofa railway ciituliiniillull, if lbe people dn nnl ? And all these charges are made without any consideration for the people who must pay Ihem, and whilst* living nnd litlslltets is seriously affected by such charges, Nor will the argument ihal the government could uut run the road do, government ownership ut' railroads on the cuntiiieiit of Eliropi'i and inunieipnl ownership of electric light, water works, tramways, etc., in ulher parts of the civilized world, abundantly proves lhat railways and works of public utility can be nut nut only without loss, but iit ii profit lu ihc peuple. A great deal can be said on litis subject; whal. i.s wanted is fair play, and only when producers nf minerals and producers uf lhe necessaries uf llfo get fair treatment in regard to transportation, will they reap llio full benrIii of llieir enterprise and work, and unly when lhey get what is justly Iheir due will developinenl and producl ion at uur mines and on uur farms huve free cuurse and enrich Ihose who are tlie builders of their country's fortunes, FAItlllSK.
