Messrs. H. Manning, Ed. Edwards, and W. W. Foster, are at present at the coast as a deputation Irom the local School Board tu wait on the goveruineut fur the purpose ol secur- iug a grant towards the erection of the new scliuol huildiDg ahuut to be constructed in tlie east end ol the city. The plant, as submitted by King and Son, local architects, have been approved and accepted by the board uud ehutv an exceptionally fine two storey structure of imposing front, 112 feet lung by 55 feet wide. The building contains eight class rooms, each 24 hy ,')■! feet, with platform drinking fountain, roomy clotbes closets, etc., well lighted ami ventilated. Tbe basement contains tire proof furnace rooms, closets and lavatories, as well as a covered in play hall for use iu wet weather. On each floor is a large assembly hall measuring 28 by 60 It., aud 28 by 32 ft. A feature ol the b dldiug are tbe stairs, so placed aud arranged that no jtnimiug or crushing can take place iu emergency. Tbe b ructure is steam beated snd is titled with hose and lire fighting appliances. A teacher's ball, principal's study, store room, janitor's room, etc., are part of the b lilding. The roof is flat, hut eo provided that all rain and snow water can easily run off. A handsome turret with dome roof surmounted by a Hag pole, adds greatly to tbe appearance of tbe building. Tbe plans show a tirst-class modern building, wbicb, il constructed, will be a credit to the city. LOCAL MINERAL EXHIBIT At Seattle Fair Would Advertise Revelstoke Apart Irom tbe mineral exhibit which is being collected by Mr. Broiidbent, on behalf oi the Dominion Government for the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Fair at Seattle, to which, we understand tbe Kevelstoke Board oi Trade is contributing, we think it would be right and proper for a special exhibit to be collected and exhibited from Revelstoke itself and its mining district. Here is a chance for mioe owners to get busy and advertise the local resources of mineral wealth. Many there are we believe who would be glad of an opportunity tu show their samples, and we believe that a distinctly Kevelstoke exhibit should be made. There are many fine samples of ores frum tbe district which could be secured, and we have uu doubt but tbat the mining men will be only too glad lo assist in any scheme that wi 1 effect good results. Included in the general exhibits our own particular samples wutiltl he most probably bidden and passed unnoticed, but with our own separate display a line showing could bo made.

From the starter's gun to the end of the race the little Italian led the American boy. In the seventh mile Dorando started a heart breaking sprint which Hayes was unable lo follow and before half-ami le bad lieen run the foreigner had gained a lap.

LOCAL MINERAL EXHIBIT At Seattle Fair Would Advertise Revelstoke Apart from tbe mineral exhibit which is being collected hy Sir. Broadbent, on helmlf of the Dominion Government for the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Fair at Seattle, to which, we understand tbe Hevelstoke Board of Trade is contributing, we think it would be rigbt and proper lor a special exhibit to be collected and exhibited from Revelstoke itsell and its mining district. Here iB a chance for mine owners to get busy and advertise the local resources ol mineral wealth. Many there are we believe who would be glad of an opportunity to abow tlieir samples, and we believe that a distinctly Revelstoke exhibit should be made. Tbere are many fine samples of ores frum the district which could bs secured, and we have no doubt but tbat the mining men will be only too glad to assist iu any scheme tbat wi 1 effect good results. Included in tbe general exhibits our own particular samples would he most probably hidden and passed unnoticed, but witb our own separate display a fine showing could bo made. We commend this matter tu the put lie interest in thu hope tbat it will he taken hold of utd full justice dune tu it NARROW ESCAPE Passenger Coaches on Verge of Disaster Passengers in a car of a C.

Southern, wbicli taxes amount 10 about $125,000 a year Three surprises may be said to have been sprung during the day. The first was when E. P. Davis, appearing for tlie C. P. R., asked ihe court to give a formal judgment, slating that uu doubt the case would be appealed iu any event. He declined to either put in a rebuttal evidence nr to argue the case. The next surprise was when Mr. Lennie. immediately oo resuming his chair in the afternoon, stated tin! as a result, ..f consideration be hud decided tint he could nut comply witb Mr. Davis' request fur a formal judgment.

From the starter's gun to the end of the race the little Italian led the American boy. In the seventh mile Dorando started a heart breaking sprint which Hayes was unable 10 follow and before half-ami Ie had been run the foreigner had gained a lap. Again in tbe 18th, after he had taken a breathing spell, the Italian Bet a pace which Hayes was unable to follow, and annexed another lap. Thence forward to the finish Dorando merely jogged, winning the race by half-a-niile in easy fashion. The Weather Clerk The weather clerk haH been he- having badlv of late.

The advice given recently by tbe | Bilbnp of London to the students of a I fashionable girl's school in tbe n-st end that tbey should never beo'ome | "catty," is significant and could very . well be taken lo heart locally. Tbe j curse of that part i.f London, he said, , was tlie prevalence of a catty spirit by | which the bishop meant the way in | which many people spend tlieir lives 1 saying ill-natured things about others. | The reputation ol many guod men and women bas been taken away by tlie catty spirit prevalent.

Taxing Drinkers The following frnm the Toronto lllube is significant i A lawmaker in lhe New Mexico legislature has introduced an net to r'quire every man, nud perhaps every woman nr person, to pay an annual fee of live dnllars a year as a license for the privilege of drinking. .No mention is nude of what be is going to drink, but perhaps imbibing water would not cume n. der tbe act. But the indnlitence in anything else will bring the i niiibers tn the i Hice where licenses ar" i-Biietl. This mui be I" ke.l upun as summary legislation, nr un interference with the personal rights nl the individual.

As lar us tlie general government is concerned, it is beyoud question that mure leienue is needed, und huw tu get it puzzles the lawmakers sml ibe linanciers. The income tax seems to be out nf the question, because ii must be niBile to lit all classes ami conditions if men and women. Whiskey, beer and tobacco are carrying Iheir fair share nf burdens. What, then, remains? Consider the Vw Mexican scheme. Why shuuld uot a drinker pay bis share as weli as the man who produce! the drink', lt would not hurt a man ivlii. drinks if compelled to pay $5 annually for the privilege li would have to be paid by the rich and the poor, male and female, A finely engraved card might be ihe certificate ol ,i man's right to take a drink in a1 . public place, and hi« ear.) would bave to i.i showu upon demand, In .act- •: matter could idgi d il • il - that tbe ice would be pan! and perhaps paid glad y Tiuiug drinkers instead tbi .innk is a great scheme—yes, air, a great scheme li it in racing parlance I - , well tu watel the a rk-oul" in New Me--ic- i -- h " .t goes, Then in i ..... „ vi ■ ake ip our minds to back it i r not f.

CRICKET LEAGUE Revelstoke Club Suggests Interior Organization Tbe local cricket club Iihi sent letters to all the town* and villages of the Interior, with the prop sal to form a league. The list of towns comprises Robsnn, Ca tlegiir, Myncaster, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Armstrong,Vernon, Okanagan Centre,Kelowna,Okanagan Mission nnd Kevelstoke. If the idea is followed out il would be easy to arrange cricket weeks at Revelstoke, Nelson, Vernon and Knsslund Matches could lirst uf all be played : IT . niiing locnl tea ns in the three di- vi5 s ai il tbe winning team in each distr'. could afterwards piny fur the chump .ship of the whole league. It is the intention, il the league is organized that each team joining shall contribute a sum of $20 per annum for the purchase of a cup ur trophy. Considerable local inte-est was taken last year in the gams, and cricket took almost lir'it place in out- dtitir sports. A large aninnnt. 0' work has been done nn the club's grouud. and when the season opens practice and team re organization will commence. By the formation of an Interior League, cricket should hold a prominent place in tbr summer's sporting fixtures, and as an advertising scheme which will bring in a hands'uiie return to the city where a cricket week ia held.
