VOL.111. NQ. 4. FERGUSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA/MARCH 2.00 A YEAR. Railway Company Will Be Beady For Business By May 1st This Season Will Open With Many Advantages for the Lardeau Not Enjoyed Heretofore. WILL LOWERMTOGEXPENSES Another ore shed, 20x28, Is to be built at Trout Lake, the first one now being filled with Silver Cup and Nettle L. ore. The C, P. H, have assured Lardeau mine owners that they will be ready to accept freight over the new A. & K. branoh by May 1st. It is the intention of the company to place a steamer on the lake, so that Trout Lake will be a terminal point for the district for this season at any rate. This only leaves Ferguson four miles from transportation, and all the mines up here have a down-hill pull to that point, It will be possible to leave here in the morning and arrive ln Nelson In tbe afternoon. Old time Lardeaultes oan scarcely realize that at last we are to be placed in touch with smelting and wholesale centres. The cost of getting In supplies will be greatly lessened; and the introduction of mining machinery will be made possible for several properties which are to-day handicapped on that aecount. The ore output for tbis year will run well onto ���2,800,000, and with the new conditions how in sight tbe Lardeau should bum this season. If ever there was a time to expect aotivity this year should present lt to us. Having made such progress in the past in tbe face of so many seemingly unsurtnountable difficulties surely we can allow for a lower priced metal market and still secure first place as a white metal ore-producing camp. The present year will witness many obanges for tbe better ln tbe Lardeau. ing director. 8. We would rather be a "cad" than a confidence man. A man's own conscious is his best judge. 9.

Last summer those shares were quoted at from Oi to 15 cents, and despite the fact that what little ore hu been shipped was taken out at a loss, wa now find lt raised to 40 cents, and even this not treasury stock. If tbe promoter in question was selling treasury stook, (there must be 130,000 or M0,- 000 worth of stock sold) why did "the seoretary put his hand Into his own pocket and put up 18,000 ln hard cash to keep it going. 5.

Tha EAGLE has nothing to say of his properties or smelters, time (and money judiciously spent) alone can prove tlieir worth, but one thing is certain it will take the proceeds of treasury stock to do this. 7, We understand he controls over one-half of the entire stock���one million shares, so tbat tha shareholders bave no power to choose a new raanag- To buy shares at 40 cents in a company stocked at 1,600,000 shares Is to assume that their holdings are worth 1600,000.

L., Lapeer, Mich,���Received 12 for Eagle sub, as stated, sea your company operating ln the oamp this season. The Lardeau Miners' Union have decided by ballot to build and maintain a publio hospital in .Ferguson. This decision was made known by the union's hospital committee at a large and representative publio meeting of Fergusonites held last night, the chair being presided over by A. C. Cummins, After a general discussion of the whole question by those present a resolution was unanimously passed 'endorsing- the position of the union, and'promising liberal aid towards its construction. A committee of three, consisting of two union members, James |A. Lade and A. J. Gordon/and one representative of the citizens, S, Shannon, were selected to make arrangements for a site, solicit aid, and commence con* struction at once. Tt was also decided to give the miners complete jurisdiction over the hospital after its completion, with the under standing of course that it bo available to anyone. A system of annual tickets will bo used for its malntalnance. As the miners are likely to provide most of the oocupants of the hospital, and know besc where it should bo located to meet their requirements, the oitlzens of Ferguson are to be com- meided for the liberal spirit they have shown towards tbe union ln this matter. The miners have never before appealed to outsiders for aid, tho their treasury has been heavily taxed by members In sickness, and that tbey will be largely assisted by the mining companies, business bouses and cltl zens Is only what it should be. The success and efficient manner ln which hospitals, under the auspices of the miners' unions in other Kootenay towns, are handled gives a certain assurance tbat tbere will be no exception in this case. That the government will assist such an institution, when asked to by the union, is undoubted. And well they may, for are not the miner���the producers ��� tho very bone and marrow of tbe camp wblch will soon repay in revenues all monies appropriated to Its upbuilding. That a hospital was a crying necessity in Ferguson is self-evident from the series of experiences which we have had to contend witb during the past two years. And tbe Eaole Is pleased to see tbat it will very soon bo Title ana Money Worshippers. Americans have been very fond ol sneering at the British prospenslty to flunkeyism in regard to royalty and nobility, but no British exhibition of snobbery ever approaobed tbe flunkey* ism shown by Americans toward Prince Henry of Prussia. It takes republicans to show honest believers ln limited monarchy how to escape and kow-tow before a title. Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson must be turning in their graves.���Ladysmith Leader.

A Victoria despatch says the provincial government have received telegraphic advices from Toronto to the effect that McKenzie and Mann have signed the contract for the construction of a railway from Yellowhead pass to the coast, where it will connect with the Vancouver island railway and ter* mlnate at Victoria. The report makes a good scarecrow election issue anyway. A Good Topic For Next Sunday Evening. Until further notice Rev. S. J.

Double Shoot the Turn. Commenting upon a recent issue ot the Eaole the Vancouver News-Advertiser, daily, soys: "Mr. McCrossan's methods, as a Western minister turned miaing promoter, wero shown by the Eagle to be very peculiar indeed, as strange in fact in tbeir way as tha doubtful pranks of a preacher turned professional politician and completely secularized. BUI Nye and the Conductor. Bill Nye was never ln the Lardeau, but evidence goes to prove that history has been repeating Itself. A conductor once topped Bill upon tho shoulder, and said: "Say, wake up old man; you're snoring." "Me snoring," quickly replied Bill, pulling himself together, "you must be mistaken." "No I'm not," convincingly retorted the conductor, "for didn't I hear you myself." "Oh, but you oan't beliore all you hear," said Bill. Silence prevailed. The Oypsv Oroup.

The membersof the Western Federation of Miners are, on the average, thinkers���men who make a study of tbeir own conditions. Not only do wc find this association going into politics ���with collective ownership their ultimate aim���but they now intend to provide work for themselves (not by buying Amalgamated this time) with tbo money they have on hand. They will acquire mining properties thruout tho country and apply the labor from their own ranks, and In tbis way prove the real benefit of co-operation, tho beoes- sarlly on a selfish basis for a time. And wbo are better fitted to enter into the mining business than tbo miners themselves? Is it not from their ranks that most of the prominent practical and successful mining men spring'-1 Then, too, they ore thoroly organized, use the direct system of voting���referendum���and can conduct their business along the same lines as any other company, except that good wages, short hours and proper conditions will prevail at all times. The experiment���tho It can scarcely be termed such���will be watched with interest by us all, and especially by other trades-unions which could well afford to take a leaf from tbe miners,' book. The Eagle, since its inception, hast contened that such a policy on tbo pare of the miners would do more to solve the "labor troubles" than expensive strikes and boycotts, where money is well nigh wasted on both sides. If the miners owned and operated their own mines, smelters, etc., and employed all thoir members, the weeping and wailing of the men who cry "what would you do without capital?1', and the shark who wants to dictate terms to his men and name his own profits, might begin to enquiro of thei:- usefulness in society anyway, The above plans, when carried into execution, which may not boverylons,- once tho Western Federation starts ie, may not sound particularly impractical to men wbo are acquainted with the capabilities of the minors, and yet this ie all that tbo advocates of collective ownership and operation of the means of production and distribution eve-,* asked for���except that the same work E, J.

A truth is safe, and nothing else is safe; and he who keeps back the truth, or withholds it from men, from motives of expediency, is either a coward or a criminal, or both.���Max Muller. By the way, when are the Liberals going te abolish the senate���the same useless senate we used to hear so much about? If the broken-down politicians must be cared for let them be pensioned off, or sent to the old man's home. - The province of B. C. has a bank overdraft of $1,800,000, which must be met, besides a standing debt of nearly $7,000,000. And yet when we have anything there is any money in we bonus men to take it off our hands. The chances are we have heard the last of the Chinese commission report. It will be safely pigeonholed until the eve of another Dominion election. The people of B. C, are easily subjected to Sir Wilfrid's sunny way���ways that are dark, etc. the Eagle is loathe to believe that the Nelson Daily Tribune is a thing of the past. Our exchange list is incomplete without it. The Tribune, like all the un- subsidized press, has financial difficulties and cannot pay the printer���for the present at least. We trust the mix-up will only be temporary and that the Tribune will be resurrected. Its suspension for good would be a keen loss to the Kootenays, and a black-eye for Nelson, a city which owes its very existence to the publicity given it in early days by John Houston. Speaking ot the comparatively stagnate condition prevalent in East Kootenay, the Outcrop says: "These conditions are not largely the fault of the British Columbians themselves. Adventurers went thither from all the world and floated companies upon the prospects of mining claims yet to be developed. When the money so raised was actually spent in development it was usually lost through failure to reach a paying output, to which result culpable incompetence and miscalculation usinlly contributed. But many ot the these company promoters had no thought of using the money to develop the properties. They cared only to unload their shares and leave investors in the lurch." Like the Crows Nest, the Yellowhead pass railway will be built by the governments, with lands and rich natural resources thrown in, but it will be owned by a private corporation. This road will open up a large area of some of the richest and best country in the Dominion of Canada, and if collectively-owned by the people would be a very much greater benefit to us ail. But as usual anything there is any money in is handed over to private enterprise, tho the ill effects of such a policy is evident in our land on every hand. It is said that after everything in sight in England was given away the politicians became honest. So perhaps we have something to look forward to, In the case of the Yellowhead pass road we see lhat Mackenzie & Mann are the promoters. Now these men will neither pay for nor engineer the construction of this road. We will pay for it, and they will hire men with a knowledge of railroading to do thc rest. Don't you think the government could do the same? Tlie electors of this province are too prone to accept the maxim that "all government rests upon physical force." The cause of the present disgraceful mix- up in in B. C, politics is primarily because all the (actions of representatives are in opposition to tbe will of the people. If it were otherwise 110 force would be required to maintain a rational and progressive government in accordance with the real wishes of the people. The people want the government to go into business, and until this is done there can be no real contentment and progress, rather than turmoil and petty aspirations to oflice. Give the people what they want and such scenes as have been enacted in the B. C. legislature for the last six years will cease. The first step in this direction is an equitable redistribution measure. Let us have that, and another general election, and the people are, we believe, prepared to elect new men who will work out the only solution for thc problems now con fronting the people���to wit: An industrial government, rather than a system of political machination which allows us to be ruled and robbed by a lot of accessories to a sy.tem of private exploitation at the expense of the people and their God-given heritage. ties of the plant have not even been tested. This will be done next summer, alter the rawhiding season is over, and ore shipments are well nigh impossible. And, too, if there is to be a plant at Trout Lake the Topic must be wiped off the map. It is really amusing. The promoter in question is more to be pitied than laughed at, if it were not for the fact that thousands of dollars have been raised thruout the States by the sale of stocks. The smelting of low-grade ores in the Lardeau is not a sentimental problem! It is a business proposition. If a man comes into this camp to do business, he must approach the camp as a practical man and der cide for himself that the project is both feasible and profitable to the company undertaking it. No man is going to coma in Iv.-re just to please the people by expending money. H-j must come in prepared to do business as a business man. The childish methods of unexperienced parsons posing as mining men, and selling stock on their prestige as preachers, is growing painful and may ultimately black-eye this camp. It Mr. McCrossan means business, and has a business-like proposition for this camp, and for outsiders to put their money into, let him get in and do something, or make way for someone who will. , - Advocates of collective ownership of industry thruout this province will probably be surprised to read a statement recently made by Hon. James Dunsmuir in an open letter addressed to B. C. electors some days ago. On page 10 oi his pamphlet we find these words: "If the people of British Columbia were abletoretain all they contribute in taxes to the provincial and Dominion governments, they could support every public utility of the province, both provincial and Dominion, build their own railways, and still have a surplus each year to their credit." And yet we are sometimes asked: "But where are you going to get the money to go into business?" It is scarcely likely that Mr. Dunsmuir has any notion of adopting any such a policy however. Another provincial election in this province, with a fair redistribution of representation, will place enuf men of the above opinion in the house at Victoria to do more than admit that the theories ot collective ownership are practicable. They will act. The people are surely weary of the domination of the present aggregation of moss-backs at the capital. If>. legislators of yore made laws and conditions surely we can change them if they don't suit us. What the electors, of B. C. want is an industrial government���and thus end for all time political jobbery and the robberies of privately-owned corporations. '��� How can we ever expect to get out of debt when we give away our natural resources, and bonus men to take over anything with a dividend attached? At present there's nothing going on at Victoria but expenses. For the sake of the country let there be fair representation meted out and an appeal made to the electorate. This time will show beyond doubt that the advocates ot collective-ownership and operation of the means of production and distribution must control the destinies of the province. Then, tliis done, the government���the people1���will go into business; work will be provided for all at good wages with an eight-hour day; the profits will go into the people's treasury; and contentment and prosperity will prevail, a condition which will never be enjoyed in B. C. until such a government is created. As might be expected by anyone acquainted with the facts the local Vulcan smelter did not blow in on Mr. McCrossan's scheduled time. Not but what there is plenty of ore available, but because the management of the Lardeau Smelting & Refining Co. haye just learned that fluxes are a necessary adjunct to the smelting business. Without making any arrangements for lime, or looking into other necessary preliminary details a Vulcan plant was installed here, expensive men were brought in to handle it, and all ot a sudden Mr. Mc- Crassan announces that the conditions must change or lie wil| ,)3)J|,0tJif smelter down altogether. And the smelter staff have left town. This nonsensical attitude is the outcome of certain criticisms made by the local press (?). The capabili- Rev. Chas W. McCrossan has been telling his troubles to the Revelstoke Herald, the Trout Lake Trades Committee and anybody else who happened to meet him, Mr. McCrossan has been offered the free use of the local press to make any and all explanations he has to offer, but so far has ignored the existence of either. He builds, before the Herald man, a number of straw men, (questions never asked by the Eagle) and then destroys them with a mighty death-dealing swing, but pays no attention whatever to the questions which have been asked of him. Because the editor of the Eagle (who had. never even seen the property) merely introduced Mr. McCrossan to two property owners who sold him the Metropolitan group, and received a recompense trom the said owners, Mr. McCrossan is sore. Mr. McCrossan paid $10,000 for the property and gave the owners several thousand shares. Me then floated a company capitalized at two millions���one million of which is pooled���that is, Mr. McCrossan and his friends, own them. He sold approximately over $40,- 000 worth of the other million and paid for the property out of the proceeds. And instead of selling treasury stock he bought the stock back, (at from 7 to 8 cents a share) whicli he had tendered as part payment, at a low price and he and his preacher associate agents resold them in the east to good advantage to themselves. Now Mr. McCrossan says he has spent only $8,000 in development, $3,000 of which came out of his own pocket. The shares now in circulation in the east are being sold and resold among the various congregations at figures ranging from 20 to 40 cents a share. But that money is not coming to the Lardeau, Nor as far as we know is there any treasury stock now being sold to carry on development, which is necessary if the worth of the property is ever to be proved. We ask: Where are such methods going to end? The Eagle wants to wrong no man. We want to see this camp go ahead, and we have no doubt but what it will. But when Mr. McCrossan poses as a martyr for the sole interests ot the Lardeau, and desires to see anyone who has the nerve to have an opinion contrary to his religious teachings, rather than fall upon his neck and kiss him for what there is in it, put out of the camp, then the Eagle in justice to its readers must rise to thc occusion. We intend to do our duty as we understand it, and when we see an evil to denounce will come pretty near doing so, despite the threats of accessories to the confidence game, and boycott of any obscure individual who thinks he has a grievance. Nor do we propose to go 'way back and sit down with folded arms, and become a chubber simply because the objectionable practices prevail in the sacred society of busted parsons, If you are building or contemplate building we will be pleased to quote you estimates on anything made in our Sash and Door Factory and1 we feel confident that we can give you satisfaction in every particular.

C, March 1.���A misleading paragraph in the Dally Tribune of Feb. 17th, give the impression that the Nelson Socialists have risen to the bait cast by tbe Liberal party of the province. The tacts are as follows: Geo. Broadly, a prominent worker in the Socialist Local, but of somewhat wavering allegiance to Socialist principles, at a recent public meeting came out with the unblushing announcement that he should henceforth be a supporter of the Martin platform. The discussion that followed was so lively that it seemed expedient to continue it for another Sunday. This was done. Mr. Broadley being given a courteous hearing, save with one exception, when he quoted W. H. McLean of the Toron to World as a leading Socialist, and was corrected by a too ardent woman comrade. He naturally had the sympathy of the non-Socialist element present, and, in the discussion that followed considerable heat waB manifest, leading to Mr. Broadley writing his resignation and publicly tendering it to the Local. The matter of its acceptance was laid over for a subsequent meeting. Tbe Socialist view was well expressed by Comrade Ebbs in a pat little story of a good Baptist preacher, who was immersing his converts in a stream with a somewhat too rapid current. One of them escaped his grasp and Went floating down the stream. The good man exclaimed "the Lord gave und the Lord hath taken away: hand on another candidate." Mr. Broadlf-y is a reporter on the Staff of tho Tribune, bonce tlio paragraph alluded to, which doubtless expressed his sentiments exactly, but hardly that of the Socialists of Nelson, ot "popularity" versus "any old thing as long as it is in Opposition to Dunsmuir." The Epworth League of the Metropolitan church is to have a debato on the Chinese question. Socialism would soon solvn tho Chinese-Japanese question. , How? When wo (tlio public) operate all the industries (and tho government too) we neod only-employ citizens. And there are not many citizen Chinamen. Wood raised in pi-Ice 15 per cent, Wages, no change. Trees must have quit growing. [How about coal?]-ED. Acres of good land unused near Victoria. Idle men who have not the capital to huy and.stock the acres. Thousands of dollars monthly sent out of B. C. for eggs, butter, and other produce. Industrial co-operation would solve the problem in short order. If the donkey only knew he was donkey he would probably kick himself to death. Any man with ideas in advance of his age is likely to wear clothes away behind it. Nobody so ready to oondemn a reform as the man who knows nothing concerning it. Drop lumps of love in the stream of life, so tho shoeless can walk ovor the ford dry shod. There aro none so willing to curse the poor, as those who worship at tbe feet ot the wealthy, Lardeau Socialists Meet, Ferguson Looal No. 8 held a most interesting meeting last Monday evening.. Still another new member was added to the roll. The members- decided to co-operate with the Revelstoke and other Locala in securing thewell known Socialist speaker, Mr. Spargo, for a tour thru B. C, The Ferguson Local will donate $25 towards the fund, A lot. of propaganda literature has been ordered and the msrits of Socialism will soon be placed intelligibly before every man, woman and child in the district. The coming convention of the district Federation of Miners at Nelson, for the purpose of taking political action, waa also discussed. If the number of electors who are joining the Socialist forces, or showing their sympathy with its aims, continue to Increase at the present rate a Socialist candidate in this riding at the next provincial election would have a walkover.

You Can Always Depend Since I have been thinking for my self the politicians no longer run after me to solicit my vote." If the average man knew what waa best for him there would be less said about blessings in disguise. Nearly all the issues raised by our politicians cunningly end in smoke; and the smoke gets into the weak watery eyes of the voter. "The ways of trade have grown sel- fish to the borders of theft, and supple to the borders (if not beyond tbe bor* deft) of fraud."���Emerson. Oh, the wearisome wail of the water- brained , whipper-snapper who won't read, and post himself on Industrial and political matters, it enuf to set one's teeth on edge. "Send Eagle to the Sve addresses enclosed." 0. Lee Charlton, Victoria. Never take your politics from the man who feeds you for your labor; vote to bave feed of your own. Socialist's Prof ram at Nelson. Nelson, B. C, March 3.���Local 46, *-Jolson, has arranged tbe following program for the next thi-eo months: 1. Tho relation of trades unions to Socialism. 2. The coal fields of B. C, and the people's right thereto. 3. Organization���provincial and national. 4. Direct legislation. 5. An administrative government��� what it means. 0, A Sunday af ontortainmont��� readings, recitations, and songs of Socialism, 7. The ago limit of man's usefulness and old ago pensions. ��� 8. What an education may mean under Socialism. 0. Unjust laws and our duty towards tnem, 10. Tho family. Is It threatened with destruction by our present industrial system? 11. Co-oporatlvo societies���German and Belgian. 12. Will Socialism destroy tho incentive to progress? 13. A comparison between nnclent and modern prophets���Elijah, lsiah, Jeremiah, Amos, Hausa,. etc, with, Huskin, Carlyle, Wm. Morris, Tolstoy, Marx, Horron, Bellamy, oto. . As often as possible leaders from out; side the club will bo socurcd, and a most succossful campaign of education ii looked forward to. The late Tribune, ln one of tbe last Issues bofore dissolution, recorded a weeding out process that was supposed to have taken plaoe at a recent meeting ol the club. This merely referred to the acceptance of Mr. Broadley's resignation, in order that he might be at liberty to devote himself to Liberal politics. If overy local ln B. C. can only show ono weed after a year's growth Socialism has nothing to fear ln tbis province. "The Eaole gives us pretty straight Socialism. Will send you another list of subs, later."���B. E. Merrill, Nelson tbe Revelatoke Local of tbe S. P. of B. C. are arranging to hold a publio meeting once a month in the railway centre, in Selkirk hall. J. C. Helm, Greenwood, B. C: "We have a Socialist club here and have been granted the use of the city hall one night each week free, by the generosity of the city council, who, by the way, are about one-half Socialists." "We all realize the necessity of a strong British Columbia Socialist paper, to build up tho party, and we will endeavor to support the Eagle in every possible way tn our power," says John Dodd of Vancouver, as he encloses a sub. Edmonton and Strathcona, Northern Alberta's leading towns, have decided to become up-to-date. They will buy and operate tbeir own lighting and waterworks plants. The Nanaimo city council will provide for the care of several old men, who are unable to provide -.for themselves, by housing and feeding tbem at small cost in the old oity jail. "Misery begets the largest part of humanity; ignorance rears it; ambition governs it; humbug educates it; tradition enslaves it; fashion cripples it; greed despoils it; need kills it, and hypocrisy burieB it." Says T. H. Twigg, an active worker and progressive thinker, who edits the labor department of tbe Sunday edition of the Victoria Colonist: The growth of Socialism ln British Columbia during the past year has beon phenomenal, The aggressiveness of socialists is to be admired. Unlike trade unionists, converts to Sooialism become live working units. The average convert, or rather, joiner of a trade union, after his initiation, acts In such, an apathetic manner that conveys' the impression that the objects of trade unionism is fully served by the payment of dues, so far as he Is concerned. ASilvor Cap miner writes, under date of Fob. 28 : " We have had Socialism discussed to a finish here tonight. Quite a number of the boys appear to bo willing to become mom- ben of tbe Ferguson Local. I feel satisfied that your organizer will be well rocelved when ho comes up," Public ownership and not private ownership must obtain, and then the benefit will accrue to tho publio. Suoh then is tho solution; the Socialization of all tho means of llfo will place man before thq dollar, the rights of humanity bofore tbe rights of property, and guarantee to the most humble citizen an inalienable right to his share of the means of life. Men's minds will be freed from the bondage of perpetual struggle and will be provided with an environment in wblch the higher faculties will find expression, Sidelights From tha Capital. Victoria, B. C, March 1.���The ad* vent of Col, Prior as the government candidate in this city is almost the only topic. He says ho has seen a contract for a Northern railway, to have its terminus in Victoria. Many people doubt lt, but Mr. Bodwc.ll will have to look out or he will be left. It Is a case Realizing the fact, that all met, have An equal right to life, liberty, aid the pursuit of happiness, itmust necessarily follow that all men bave an 'equal right to thoie things which sustain llfo, and if the means of life, commonly called the means of production anddis- tribution, are held by private ownership, and can only be obtained upon the consent and the torms dictated by property class, then labor lives by sulteranco only. It can only obtain employment and a means of subsistence at tbeie men lea fit to engage him, and if at any time employment is withheld; the means of an existence are withheld as well.
