A meeting of the executive of the Citizens' Association was held in the Newell building last Saturday evening, at which a great deal of business was transacted. Some time ago the association took up with the lands department of the provincial government the matter of putting up for sale the lots owned by the government in the town. Correspondence written before the return to Victoria of the minister of lands was read, stat introduced into the British Columbia house by Mrs. Smith when she was sitting as an Independent. Another reason that he Kive in support of his contention was that as an Independent a member carried weight, for the reason that he could support legislation irrespective of its origin, and visa versa. He pointed out the great evils of the present day control of members by the partes, and it was this decline of personal independence of mem- hers in the house that is proving the down fall of the old parties and bringing into being such political organizations as the Farmers'party.

This, Mr, Watson, on taking the platform, did, stating that though always heretofore a Liberal he, in this election, would support Colonel Peck for the reason that the Colonel had always acted promptly on any request made by the people of Stewart and get for them those things for which they asked. No man had done more in this regard than had Colonel Peck.

The matter of the Bear river bridge then came under discussion, and as no satisfactory replies had been received to communications written on this subject, it was decided to wire Bert Kergin with a view to ascertaining just how matters stand. William Newell and W. R.

Since J. J. Coughlan and his associates took over this property they have been tremendously handicapped by unusually bad weather, making work on the steep ground on which the Silverado is situated, almost impossible; the amount of work accomplished under the conditions is a credit to not only the management but also to the men, who were actually doing the work. Now the bad weather has broken, and given the management new encouragement, with the result that the work which had almost been shut down has started up again, and every effort is being made to comelete the tram line and a few other minor details of outside construction before the weather becomes too bad to work outside. It is estimated by the management that if the present good weather will hold for two weeks they will be able to complete the tram from the lower to the upper camp; also run a cable across the canyon, from the upper camp to the thowings, a distance of about 800 feet, and which will be used for the purpose of taking the men and material safely over the slide to and from their work, and also for the purpose of carrying the ore from the mouth of the tunnel to the head of the tram, which will be established about 200 feet above the upper camp.

It most certainly is time some steps to this end were taken. While there is a certain amount of organization, in that, in the event of fire, certain people have specific posts and duties to perform of which they are fully aware, still there is left a lot which should be tightened up, in order that the maximum of efficiency may be obtained. Another thing that will have to be settled, is that of private citizens borrowing ladders, etc., from the fire hall, and in a great many cases without saying anything to any one about it. A stop will have to be put to this, if the people of Stewart wish to maintain a fire fighting organization.

FRASER BUILDINGCONTRACTOR Estimates Furnished -��� Work Guaranteed STEWART. B.C. Silence is golden, which explain, why there is so little of it. Lucky is a beggar. He has neither money or a woman to bother him. If all women were bowlegged it would cost them little for their skirts. Some folks are so poor that they cannot so much as raise an umbrella. The two most loathed bugs In the world are the bedbug and the humbug. Ladies and gentlemen���The next item on the programme is a one-step, followed by a danre, A tempest in a teapot is a mere zypher compared with the tornado of a bottle of moonshine. Time was when women wore their waist lines under their arms. Since then it has been shifted by fashion, one year high. Latest information is that this year it will be where the wearer wants it. For one thing we're thankful���that they have enough clothes to wear a waistline on. Which reminds us that a man proudly announced the other day that he had accomplished the seemingly impossible���he had stepped on a woman's skirt. F-om which we conclude that he is either an acrobat or a cheerful liar, and he doesn't look one bit like an acrobat. Most of the "wild, wild women" are young enough to be cured by broken doses of spanking. Pilgrim, remember that Satan remained in heaven until he commenced to knock his home town. Nobody can tell what the grain market is going to do, except that it is going to do the consumer. Shirk your work and it's you who suffers. You can't hurt work nearly as much as you hurt yourself. We met a girl the other day who ap" peared very scantily dressed and who admitted she had a date on. One half of the world doesn't know how the other half pays its taxes, and frequently suspects that it does r.ot pay at all. As all the girls expect to msrry millionaire they naturally think it a waste of time to learn the art of cooking. People now know know that the moon isn't made of cheese, but they are still innocent cnocerning the composition of moonshine. Girls can buy eyebrowe, complexion and hair in stores, but there is no place Athere they can buy brains, and that is what a lot of them most need. wete Sfcr*? fiitttTTiiiiti or rtrrTTTno; ALL THE COMFORTS OF A HOME ARE TO BE HAD AT THE HOTEL STEWART W.
