PHILIP CAROSELLA —»*»t»e»*»««»'»*i4#eg»»a)» •fosw-ta-aac-f *ns»f micii To the Editor,—An "attempt is being made, to acquire - from, this city a 25-year franchise for a telephone company. It may b* the fact that at the. present the city'.would not care to engage ■ in the . telephone business even if it could. But it is one of those certain things to"expect that i*.i the. n?ar future * British Columbia municipalities will enjoy the necessary privilege of .operating - a telephone service, with po\ver to connect with other lines. If permission be grant.d to a company* to. come in and instal a system tho city's interests should be most carefully safeguarded. I have not, nor have many citizens, any'' definite ° idea of what' these people from Cranbrook want. If they do not specify th?ir objects it would be right to turn down their efforts. To let a by-law go before the people without some kind of conditional agreement would or might be suicidal. Our franchises are worth something. On the hr'cls of a great catastrophe we find attempts being made to get this, that and the other thing. Our people- all are very busy trying to get into working condition again. With other things they have little time ,1od.*al. lt is up to the Cranbrook company to state their case. Let us have a public-meeting, ■at which both sides can be heard. I want3 to discuss thi-j .very great matter. In the absence of publicity and a proper agre.nient it is, the duty of every ratepayer to voto against any by-law that- may be. placed before the citizens with respect to this franchise. Personally, I am prepared to ■ consider any r.asonable proposition, but if it be intended to railroad the .matter 1 shall use every legitimate effort to thwart the attempt. In the meantime no ,one should promise support to th - "measure. The use of the streets is -so serious that it becomes'the duty of every good citizen to stay any untoward attempt to get that privilege unless the city b • sufficiently paid for their use.. In other .cities a rental'is paid. 1 understand that the company is willing to pay a license and tax. Is that all? Arc wo so engrossed with building up our city that we are going to let everything*, else go without thought? I am not cond .'inning the proposition of the company. I ani not in a position to do that, as so far we are in the dark about, it. All I want to' see is that we. do not give'away, a valuable franchise for a mess of T trees. It is more, than time we quit- sending land-grabbers, grafter's, crQa- tors of watered stock and bogus dividends. The place to put these fallows is at'some good hard work and do" it' quick.

Ferni.',.B. C.;Oct. 7, 1908. S. Stanley, -. Manager District Ledger. Dear Sir: ■ ■ It' was 'mentioned. in my letter on the above matter that 5 per cent, would be'paid upon all shares taken except thos? traded upon. It has been pointed out that the way this reads it could be easily misunderstood. Lest it be so. I would like to state that interest bn shares is five per cent, p.'r annum. We. had another successful week. Our membership is increasing nicely and progress all around is going on very satisfactorily. This we attribute to the principles of co-operation being so-will known. Those who thoroughly understand the movement.are generally always co-operatives, , and have good reasons to be' so. To use a phrase . uttered' by a co-operative speaker in Gr.at Britain, Co-operation aims to do this:" "Instead of raising on: man one hundred inches, let us raise one hundred, men one inch, each." That is what we propose to do in Fernie. • Mr.,Editor, we w.dcome all to become members with us, that all may have a share in' the benefits which are to be realized by such a movement. "Each for all, and all for each." The day, as far as We are !concerned, of making merchant princes, should be past and wj aim to make it so. In the transformation there "will be nothing that, is good lost, but much that is evil swept away. As this is no new movement, speaking generally, but "a tried one which has stood well the test, wj may point out* a few of the benefits: Co-operation does its best to manufacture, buy and sell, pure, whole some, unadulterated' goods, "none of your shoddy, and sugar in sand business." ft does its best to handle, and sell these goods, in a busineslike manner, so that there is as little cost as possible in the handling of . same. It^i^Fs*itrirnTplbyees better wages. ness in'the politics of British Colum-. bia patriotism. This mythical wide- riess'is advertised as a. rebuke to the narrowness of Ontario,(partisanship. ■' British Columbia's politics has been wide as .the extreme circumference of the-, "bar'l* 'in which its • constituencies have gone looking for the pork of Government favor. .Ontario may be" a prey, to the partisanship of. prejudice or principle. Ontario's politics and politicians, at their smallest and narrowest, are bigger and broader than the pork and patronage ..that have. hitherto constituted the last infirmity of British Columbia's nobli mind. * . '*. • * .. . Ontario has few constituencies that could not develop as'big and broad a variety of politics as the Grit and Tory partisanship' of Vancouver city in. the present campaign. ,. If Vancouver were really in" earnest in its alleged objection to-the Asiatic invasion, Vancouver would make that one question the issue of the election..'All the faults imputed to Joseph Martin do not' alter the fact that he is tbe b?st fighting Par- limentarian in Canada. A revolution'would be needed to cut Vancouver loose from all party lines and elect the anti-Asintic "candidate, on that-issue alone. There is no revolution in sight.

About five o'clock "on the morning of Oct. 3 a'fire broke out at the King Edward hotel stable^ at Banff and a considerable amount of damage had been done' before .the Fire Brigade got the fire under control. The firemen must certainly have worked hard aiid fast, to have saved the' hotel, because* both the stabbs and the hotel were under the same roof. Mr. J. 0. Neil certainly deserves a great amount of praise for the heroic way, in which he- worked fighting th? fire. Four horse were lost in the. fire, also the pasenger bus, two rigs and. the stables , were totally destroyed. The entire loss was somewhjre between three and four .thousand dollars, which was partly covered by Insurance. very clever conception, as we'll as having been excellently.-carried out. The' idea took on im:-nsely and the boys, in the camp didn't forget to patronize the local caterers ia the photographic line. In only hope that when some of them are sending the r photos to their relatives or friends in the Old Country they will5 be careful what sort of a yarn they send with them: ' The Dominion election campaign opened here on Wednesday evening, Sspt. ,30th1 when Mr. A. S. Goodeve,- the -candidate .of the, Conservative party held - a public meeting in the Club Hall. There was a good muster of voters and Mr. Macdonald of (Doal Creek, who presided, first introduced Mr. T. J. Macdonald as the Mayor of Rossland, B. C, and one of th> foremost' leaders of labor and trades unionism in his own district. The gentleman from ■ Rossland in a very well thought out' speech dealt with many point* of special interest to the wage earners of this province, maintaining throughout that ths Conservative party was' the only one who could and would, if returned to power, bring in measures for the immediate redress of the present, grievances of labor. On thes.» grounds he appealed to the workers of this camp to register their votes for Mr. Goodeve. On the chairman asking if any friends oi the Liberal party would likrtb address the meeting, Mr. Fisher, lawyer, Fernie took upUie cudgels. He occupied the platform for twenty minutes giving us quotations and .figures from the great Parliamentary records to show that the Liberal party was the only.one who ever had in the'hospital' suffering chiefly from injuries to his skull-but his many friends will hi pleased to know that he is progressing favorably. . A imblic political meeting to' further their interests in the present election campaign- was held by the Liberal party in 'the Club Hall on Thursday evening, Octob r 1st. Mr A. Eerridge of Fernie, occupied the chair and was supported on the platform by the Liberal candidate _ Mr. Smitli-Curtiss and Mr.- F. J.- 'Dean, of-Nelson. The last named was the opening speak :r and expatiated fully on tlie' claims of his party to tbe votes of, the' workers of this country, claiming that'the Liberal party in the past had proved they were the real party of progress. On the courteous invitations of the .chairman Mr. Macdonald of' Coal Cr:ek, representing the local " Conservative organization addressed the. large gathering. -His interesting' remarks on th? imigration question given with many quotations from the speeches of the leaders of both existing parties were listened to with spell-bound attention . • and were at times heartily applauded. On tlie conclusion of Mac's spe-ch the chairman called upon the candidate to address the meeting. He had scarcely risen to his feet when Mr, Wiliiim Evans of the' local Socialist party proceeded-from the audi:ijce to the platform and demanded from the chairman the privilege, usually accorded to opposing parties and which had already been given the Conservatives. For 'a tim? it seemed as though the. chairman's intention was to withhold this and it looked as if lie were determined to put Mr. Smith- * * * '* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * ** *.** *************** : * u Gee Whiz !

There are now two large boats on the Devil's Liik;* three miles N.E. of Bankhead. The new boat is driven by paSoline. I think ii is a mistake to put this extra boat ou tho lake.

William Evans, the president of the local union' got up and for the alloted time of twenty minutes he kept thi boys in merriment with (his own peculent style of eloquence. The candidate for honours was listened to patiently and intelligently for almost two hours. He spoke briefly on many'matters of natural importance and of things affecting the British Empire generally, but most of his speech was devoted to matters which, as' he himself .said, were of direct interest to.the workers of Coal Cre?k. He handled the imigration question in a.masterly way and said that, his party realized that the white workers of Canada demanded that this sore be tackled with genuine < .'•■■••lepiness without; further d;- lay...

We had a sad occurrence in No. 5 mine on Friday, October 2nd, whereby Dick Jones, one of our,quietest and most respected boys was somewhat seriously hurt. Dick waa limb mum on thfc night shift ami was following his duties at a recent cave-in whon he had'tho misfortune to bo struck by fulling rock,, He lies ut present 9 ♦ ♦ the audience was' strongly in favor of 'Billy' and once more he got his opportunity tb carry our minds to the comic side of politics. On this occa sion he wax?d too warm, for when the chairman reminded him" that he had already spoken five, minutes beyond the limit, he expressed his intention of speaking as long as he liked. However, he submitted to the clamor "of the" audience to give way but promised us at an early date an allnight sitting. Mr. Smith-Curtis expounded his views at length on the general aspect of political affairs. He regretted that much of his time would have to be taken up in refuting what he contended were false' statements about his political career in so far as thc interests of labor wer3 concerned, which had been made from the platform by his opponent. He claimed to liave sprung from' the "0 laboring class and stated that anything he now possessed was due to' his own, indi- "VlUUaiTCii'JiVT—iie-i4T44eu-4.i.. eve or any other man to point to any measure which was for the betterment of labor ever broughtbefore the House during . his, political career which had not Hi's"support. He i*3- marked, he was one of the1 hardest quartz, miners and in passing remind- workers for the eight-hour .day for ed his hearers that this was the first step towards the eight hour day being obtained by coal min.*rs in B. C. He further claimed that when the eight-hour day for quartz ,min*rs be- cmne law, the mine owners formed an amalgamation hoping by such influence to hinder such a law coming'into operation. He claimed that h> could now look back with pride on the fact thnt he was one who successfully [ought and smashed up thnt amalgamation. Speaking on th'e immigration question he asked the men present ,to belie-v? that his party wero just n» anxious about nnd alive to their desires on this matter which so directly concerned them in the party to which Mr. Goodeve belongs. He nsked them to enquire for thamselvos Into his actions with regard to labor mutters and then he had no doubt Ihey would do their (luty as working men und vote solid for one who had proved hinisnlf their friend, ALTHOUGH _ ■■ i I I "We are Burned out | We are not done out Come right along Wc can serve you Whimster & Co.

It is only a short time, but sometimes rushed elections are more' pr:- forable.tha:i delayed ones. The present election is going to be a sharp, short smd we hope a very d .cisive one for the workinpnien. There are three men out in this riding, a Liberal, a T.'iV' and :i Socialist. Davidson should receive the vote of the' workinpinen, as h ■ is their only friend, and they need many just at the present time. lt is al! very line for the Liberals or Conservatives to launch "forth with "this -.caiKlnl," and ".that land 'steal," but they are both alike as far us ill1 workingmen iu\; concerned. The. workingman wants an independent friend, und it must be a man who is not allied with either of the old parties. Davidson is this man for the Fernie riding, and a vote for him on the 12th of next month will 'mean a vote in the rigid direction. Our Leaders!

I.. P. IVk-t in mini h" ii ■.•interod. appreciates ilrf newspaper only afUr it iias ceased publication, ''few towns realize what a force for progress a newspaper is. This is abundantly evident in the m *agre support oaccorded many of the local papers in British Columbia. . A newspaper is a public institution and- in modern life is a necessity. Yet, many of the^ supporters of a paperfeel when they pay for an adv rtisemeht in its columns, or the yarly subscription, that they are making' a charity contribution to1 the editor,- As a rule, both the advertiser nnd subscriber get a good deal move than they pay for. Tlie. editor is constantly being • called upon for favors for which it nev.'J* occurs to the recipient he should pay. Few communities ever think they Hhould contribute ns a whole, to the support of the local paper, though it may week after week d vote columns to the spread of information about its district—information that goes broadcast to the world, and whicli is of inestimable value to the town. Hut if a grant of a few hundred dollars wero mad • to the paper for this service there would likely be an immediate outcry against graft. People who complain . about tho smallness or inefficiency of their local paper should ascertain to what extent it is supported, Every editor worth hiH salt wants to produc • a big pnpi r and a good one, but no publisher can give more than he gets. If hiH support jh weak, his paper cannot he u big one. One can tell nt a glace the sort of -support n newspaper gets in its home town, and the im- j prssion oreatid iH distinct, mid favorable or unfavorable according to the apparent prosperity of the. paper, whlob, to most people, relleets that of the town in which it is published, Not a few towns anil districts in llritiih Columbia are remiss iu this respect. Some have pap'i'H which don't deserve one, and most of them liave better papers than they have u right to expect, They starve the p.i- p r ami in so doing militate .iguimu* their owi interest*-., Thi,-i in.ittir i* rarely discussed hy the papers them- M'lve-., and for that rciivon tho-e who .-ilioulil give H their att ntiou ai-Moiii lliinlc of it.
