Judging from the following iu thc

think Fernie a fat thing.
The case of the tlritiah Columbia Telephone Co. vs Fernie, reported in press
dispatches from Ferine to have been
seltleal early in February, furnished occasion for ihe pus-age r.f aduLidcdlyjleit-
handed compliment from one counsel to
another yesterday in Supreme Court
Chambers
An application regarding directions
for trial was being made before His
Lordship Mr. Justice Morrisson, when
a dispute arose as to whether tho unit
ter had not been settled out of court
Mr. L G. McPhillps, l_. C , appeared
for the telephone company, and a\tr.
Edgar Bloomlield for tho corpoialion of
Fernie.
Finally His Lordship Used the day of
trial for Saturday next.
Thereupon Mr. McPhillips bundled
his books and legal documents iuto his
brief bag, snatched the bag off tho table
and throwing ic acres* his shoulder
started for thc door.
In his exit from Chambers, Mr. Mc-
Phillipps had to pass the table where
Mr Bloomlield was sitting On leaving his neat, Mr. McPhilllps commenced
to mutteri^«,-.^i»j-.u:i,!^rti-)ii.ej^I3y...$Ii-!
time ho caino close* to^.Mr." BibbTntteld's
back Mr. McPhilllps *ra.a spe^kini- so
plainly-that ho could bo" hoard quite
dUtiuetly by those close to him.
Thc word "trouble" was audible as
Mr. Mcl'hillips approached iMr. Bloomlield. When he was a foot fro-n the latter the learned King's Counsel gaveex-
pressions to the words, "you d >1
scoundrel."
The position of tho case of the British
Colombia Telephone company vs Fernie is apparently somewhat mixed. Mr.
MePhillips contended this morning that
it had been settled eoine time ngo. On
the other band Mr. Bloomlield was certain that no settlement had been
reached. During the course of the argument Mr. MePhillips, addressing the
court, said:
11 aai a tittle suspicious of my learned friend, and I may as well say so."
The standing of iho case will likely
be aired to somo extent on Saturday
morning next when the matter comes to
trial. Originally the British Columbia
Telephone Co had trouble with the people of Feruie over the installation of a
telephone system in leruio. The council of Fernie caused the arrest of employees of tho company and tubscquent-
ly Mr. MePhillips, on behalf of the telephone company, obtained an ex parto
injunction. Then some kind of arrangement was made, and the peoplo
of Feruie are now putting iu a system

(By Rooky Mountain Dick)
The skies were leaden hneil,
And clearless was the day
When a call came from the court
Saying, Rocky como this way,
I turned and started down the street
Whoro Calgary has its sign,
And thi: cop tried to tell me
How all the fanlt was mine.
We soon did reach the courthouse'
Where a prisoner shares his fate,
.Tndge says "yoar name ia McClnre,
Yon came a day too late." [sir,
We gave yon plenty-notice
But you disobeyed the call,
I start you off at Bis days,
Yon may not get oat till fall.
The officer then led me
To the place they call the cell,
It was my first experience
Sure, I thought 'twas
He seemed to feel quite sorry
To leave me there alone,
But yoa may como out to'morrow,
Arid help as hammer stone.
Then I telescoped my bedroom
When I was left alone
And my mind changed to bedbugs
Instead ol hammering stone,
JV>r they came from every corner .
From the ceiling to the brick, .''.
And they Baid he is a good one, •■'.
For its Rocky Mountain Dick.
Ono busy bug among the gang
Got" right upon my ear,
And said, I'm glad to meet you,
Wbat. do tell, brought you here? -
I answered him quite saucy,,.
■'/Only,'Vn'a,joke,V:f-;i;'-:': "'■" -^

I.was'sorry that I spoke, • .•
"or they, hit me many ways
And the'bossbngshouted, goat him
He'll just bo in six days. [boys,
flags, Bags, Bags, Bugs.
Tt I was a Fernie policeman,
By a lawful justice made
The first bunch that I'd round up
Would be the Board of Trade.
I would draw them up a form
Which I picture here below
God knows, we sadly need a jail.
And I am sure that it will go.
To the Legislature of B..C.
Gentlemen—The Fernie Board of
Trade petition yonr honorable Body
to provide means for the construction
of a proper jail in this city that will
be water, fire, and bedbug proof,
witb the accent on the bug.
The above poem was written by a
gentleman who recently through a
lapse of memory did six days in the
local hostile for contempt of court It
is thc first poem on spring that we
have published in the city, and our
readers should excuse dissipation. It
is-a spring poem because bedbugs
bloom in the. pringjust as well as
the flowers. The author made refer
encc to the white bean fed the pris
oners each day, but we cut it out because the bean comes cf a respectable
though noisy family. Dick's poetic
tale ot the way ho fought the bugs to
a red finish was so pathetic that we
suppressed that verso for fear that it
might drive our readers to the flow
Ing 'bowl, into which so many people
chock their sorrow, even when it can
swim. However wo agree with Dick
that bedbugs should not be kept In
our jails unless tho government
makes un allowanco for their keep,
Bugs have no right to live off the
poor prisoners, and haantthoirdrearas
Vrlth that peculiar pcrfuino which all
bugs of good standing carry with
thorn. We do not know from whence
bedbugs originally camo nor anything about their creat or family tree
Burkes Peerage, Pilgrims Progress,
Shakespeare, or Bob Edwards make
no mention of them. They must
come trom a very low family bocause
it is so seldom that you meet them in
first-class hotels..
Wo also agree with Dick tbat Fernie should have a better jail. Wc
should probably have ono with
feathor beds, and patent bug alarms
in every room. Tho dining room,
♦should be spacious, and tho tables
decorated with flowers in order to
make tin birds more roflncd. Six
conrao dinners should be served with
wine for those who" drink it . For
those who do not drink wine. Bevera
of the leading brands of whisky
should always be on the sideboard."
None but the best cigars should bo
given the prisoners as inferior tobacco haB a tendency to degrade men;
just as much as feeding them on
greasy'soup, consumptive porridge
and a boan on tho side. Tho parlor
should bo filled witli pictures and an
orchestra always on hand to cheer the
unfortunates in their confinement.
All the latest papers, books and magazines of the day snould bo kept in
the reading room, as literature is a
great elevator to fallen mankind.
Balls in full dress should be held at
least once a week, and a parson provided for each creed of which the inmates are adherents. The prisoners
should not be allowed to play' poker
later than midnight for fear their appetites for the various breakfast foods
would be impaired.
We think a jail run npon the lines
we have just outlined would be a
great success and do away with tbe
many objections we bear expressed
against them, and few prisoners
would take the trouble to escape,
especially if physical culture was
taught instead of the art of breaking
stones. We farther believe that a
jail of this kind would never cry out
for lack of business.
' Heaven has a different meaning
for different people,
'The nimble newspaper ad is better
than thc Blow dodger.

.- When you hear a man Joudly
ooasting about his • moral character
it is just as well to look elsewhere

Women will forgive almost any

Call a man a gay dog and it is an

IIoman nature is selfish. As arule
anion men are great sticklers for
anything touching their own trade,

. he Jap was always clevor, but
tbe***world did not respect him until
tho prcsont war with Russia proved

The load miners want a duty on
corroded lead, and Fleming has
promised to give it bis duo consideration. - While It is against the general policy of a Liberal govornmont
to increase or put on duties we see no
reason why eomo assistance should
not be given tbo corroding of lead.
It is a now business in Canada and
should havo everything done within
reason to foster its growing days. If
any place in Canada is entitled to
protection on Its products, tho Slocan
is that placo.
The coal miners around Fernio
will if necessary apply for legislation
to have the towns of Michel, Coal
Creek and Carbonado opened. At
present they cannot be opened even
with a triple set of fours, and in justice to liberty loving people that is
no way to have any place in the

Women are treated better in America and ■ English countries than ill
almost any.others. In Russia a woman cannot go to the next town with
out getting a passport, and her word
is.of little use against the other sex.
She probably cannot buy a hat with;
out first getting a permit 11n Canada
all they need Ib the price, but with
all our boasted freedom the women
of America, and especially "Canada
have some rights that have not yet
been granted them.
In America the dollar seems to be
mightier than tho press. One reason
fortbis is that independent editors
are not wanted by grafters and bood-
lere, and people who can rise above
the hypnotism of a dollar are not
numerous enoUj"li. A muzzled press
and lickspittle editors who cannot
rise above any kind of bread and butter are of no real benefit in any community, except to their masters. If
editors would stand together and
eliminate fear they would make this
world a vastly better place to live in.
Most, of them prefer any crumbs that
fall their way. and delight in fighting any progressive or independent
brother.

T
THE G0AL INDUSTRY!
In the Annual Coal' Number of the
Mining Msgazine, - of New York, appears an editorial on the condition of
the coal Industry, evidently prepared by
an expert in possession of reliable data.
The following figures are of universal
interest and permanent value.
Estimates of the production of coal
during the past year indicate an output nearly as great as 1903, when the
production of bituminous coal was -185.•
000,000 tons and of anthracite; 59,000,-
000 tons, a total of 344,000,000. In 1904
the output of anthracite was 57,492,-
532 tons, and the estimated production
of bituminous coal 281,000,000 tons, a
total of 338,000,000 tons. During the
year our imports of anthracite were 75,
526 tons, as against 151,023 tons in
1903; and of bituminous coal 1,556,149
tons, as compared with"2,oo8_857 tons
in 1903. Bituminous coal exports In
a!go4 were 6,345, 126 tons as against
6.303.34l tons in 1903, and 5,2-8,969
tons in 1902.
Referring to the gravity ofthe present situation and its bearing on the
question of probable strikes, the figures
given by the writer arc of deep significance. He says that the miners' organization reported for its year ending
November 301I1 a balance on hand De-
cembe'r 1st 1903, of $-,106,198.68,
Receipts from members' tax were $303,-
597.30, from assessments $474,647.76,
.and other sources 74,425.80, a total of
The Mu-tuaf Life
of Canada
,$?S-«»77'*-86, expenditures for officers*
salaries'and expenses were $199,72•_.80
for the relief of strikers $i ,067,300.47,
other expenses $87,992.95 leaving a JS 34 years old j
balance on hand of $603,952.32. This
shows the year's] expenditures to be
$502,246.36 in excess of the receipts.
The treasurer's report states that the
per capita tax of 10 cents a month has
be»n wholly insufficient to meet the expenditures, the latter having averaged
37 cents per member per month. It
states further that the weekly expenditures at the close of the year have increased and recommends a per capita
tax of 50 cents per month during the
year ending Nov. 30th, 1905.
The usual arrangements for a wage
adjustment from April 1st will take
place during this month. The operators In several of the districts will be
forced to offer a lower schedule than
that uow in force, and tbe miners must
cither recognize the relation between
good wages and the commercial value
of the product, or begin a strike which
the treasury of the organization is not
able to support without calling a heavy
assessment on the members. Whatever scale is finally settled upon will remain in force until April/ 1906, at
which time the wage agreement at the
anthracite mines a|so expires; so a year
hence.both the miners and operators
will have to solve an intricate and delicate problem.

A VAST FORTUNE.
Thera seems to he s«me -prospect of
tlie heirs getting the Ellington estate
in Scotland which has been in chancery
since 1449, and is valued at $80,000,-
000. Mrs. Jennie E. Harris, of Nelson
at present in Fernie, and whose maiden
name was Kerr is ont of the claimants
to this vast fortune.
The Eglingtot* «s1ate has been a
.hard fought for property. The great
castle was one of the strongholds of ihe
Scotch during their wars with the English, and was cocorolled by the Kerrs,
■and held by tlieui for many gen cautions. During the 100 year \var be-
ilween France and England so many of
the Kerrs were killed thai Diptain Drum-
mond, who had married a -Kerr,
claimed the estate, and bitter quarrels
were waged between thc Kerr and the
Drummond branches of llie Eglington
tree. There is now a fair prospect of
the matter being sottU-d after so many
centuries of wailing and liligation.
marked effect it has had on my brother,
his partner. Now I want to show you
tbe real reason he is enabled to show
such strong emotion. He keeps this
onion in Iris pocket (putting his hand in
and pulling it out), and, rubbint' his
handerchief on it, he rubs his eyes with
thc latter. Hence these, tears at the
proper moment.
Tea an Ideal Stimulant.
Every litlle while there is an outcry
against the practice of tea and coffee
drinking. Lately it has been alleged
that the degeneracy observed in the
lower classes of Great Britain is largely due to the immense quantity of tea
that is drunk in -that kingdom. Without any doubt a few people do drink
too much tea and would be better without it. But tea drinking, as in China,
may be tlie salvation of a people from
much greaterevils- The decoction has
at least, Hie advantage of having been
sterilized by heat, and water drinking
tn China has its dangers, as many an
old traveler can testify.

broad knowledge of the American stage
together wilh a great number of theat-

Mr. Davis would often tell a story
that had been narrated to him by Edwin Booth.
Booth, he wouli begin, once played
at thc old Ardi street theatre of Philadelphia, the hero's peart in an old fashioned drama. These were his early
days when his weight was not much
more than a bird's. The hero was
.supposed to be robust, but Booth was
sunable -to give him that appearance.
Well, one Saturday night, the old-
fashioned drama progressed very
-smoothly up to the middle of the third
act. Booth, as Maltravcrs, the hero,
-i-at, then, in his daughter's sitting room,
his head bowed in his hands. The
wife of Maliravers was very ill. The
•poor fellow feared that she was uigb
.death's door.
His daughter to comfort him offered
him some refreshments, but he refused
ithe offer.
No, no, dear child, I cannot eat he
said.
The play had gone well -up to this
point. Bui now when the gaunt
Booth said, No, no, dear child ,1 can-
«ot eat, a young Irishman up in thc
_gallery sang out:
Can't cat? You can't cat? The

Kelson.- Vancouver
Some years ago the members of a"
.celebrated law firm in northern New
Hampshire were trying' a divorce case.
Thc talking member of the firm was a
*ery eloquent man, nnd thc other mem-
-bcr, wlio, by the way, has since been
Governor, easily moved to lears was accustomed to use his handkerchief more
or less during the cloi|uet*l pcrioJs o f
•liis partner.
The opposing counsel, knowing this
procured a large onion and brought it
Into court with him. Jt was a cold
winter day, aud his victim sat in thc
courtroom with his heavy overcoat on.
Unseen, the jokcrskilfully slipped the
onion into the outside pocket of this
coat.
The eloquent partner, dilating on
the wrongs of the fair libellee, caused
him to use his handkerchief a good
deal. Tho opposing counssl arose, and
during liis remarks said:
Gentlemen of the jury, you have
listened to the eloquent speech of my
brother, nnd you have noticed Ihe
for ex
Hudson
Bay voyagers, and the lumbermen of]
thc north, does not testify to its evil
effects on general health, under proper
conditions. For a cold country it is an
ideal stimulant, reviving the energies,
even after almost apparently complete
exhaustion, and affording a feeling of
comfort that hardly anything else can
give, and this without any noticeable
uncomfortable after effects.
Of course, in our civilization there
arc some who take too much of some
things for their own good, but even in
these cases it is hard to say that the
evil is as great ac sometimes charged.:
The practice of giving large quantities
of strong tea to mere infants, which is
common among certain of the poorer
classes of our cities, of course, cannot
be too strongly condemned, but it is astonishing how many infants seem to
thrive on it.
There should be some discrimination
in the general condemnation of such
stimulants as tea and coffee. They
probably do more good than harm and
wc should welcome iheir use if by any
means or to any extent they can be
made a substitute for tilings that are
worse, and if the habit were universal
in swine of our insanitary communities
we might find it the safeguard against
many serious evils.—Journal of American Medical Association.
Cry of the Conservatives.
Down at the Palm Beach recently a
young Englishman, who is deeply in
sympathy with ihe liberals in Russia
was trying to explain the condition of
European politics to an American girl.
But what is a conservative anyway?
she asked.
In England il is a highly respectable
gentleman who goes around stepping
ott the coat tails of progress and crying
Whoa!
I suppose in Russia he steps pn the
whole coat, man and all, and then cries
Fire!—Denver Republican.

We must have overslept, said Mrs,
Binks silting up in bed. John, she
called, shaking him by the shoulder,

John rubbed his eyes sleepily. In
his dreams he caught her concluding
words and muttered scornfully.
Raise tlio blin,!? On a king higl&
Well, 1 guess not.
And liis snores continued where they
had been interrupted.
