Modern Building.
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. We commend
tbis mutter tu the pul lie interest iu
thu hope that it will lie taken hold ol

In the f ice of prosperity in every

Dorando Beats Hayes Easily
Nkw VniiK. March 16.—Before
10,000 spectators, a large majority
of whom were his compatriots,

Johnny Hayes, in the "rubber

run over a 10-lnp trnck at Madison

excellent condition. 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. Again in tbe
18th, after he had taken a breathing spell, the Italian sot a pace
which Hayes wits unable to follow,
and annexed another lup, Tlience
forward to the finish Durando
merely jogged, winning the race
hy liitlf-ii-inile in easy fashion.
The Weather Clerk
The weather clerk has been behaving badly of late. Having
given us the worst possible deal he
could scrape up in the cold snap
line, he quietly proceeded to ring
in a series of alternate clear, snowy
and rainy hunches of weather. One
kind alone would uot have been so
troublesome but the whole bunch
was rotten. Now he is toying
around and seeming to be hesitating as to whether he should bring
spring or not.

Modern Building.
Messrs. H. Manning, Ed. Edwards,
and W. \V. Foster, ore at present at

local _-.ch.iol Board to wail on the
government lor the purpose of secur-
iug a grant towards the erection of
tbe new school building abuut to be
constructed iu the east end of the
oity. The plans aa submitted by
Kiui; and Son, local architects, have
been approved and accepted by tbe
board and Bhow an exception»liy fine
two storey structure ol imposing
front, 112 feet long by 55 leet wide.
Tbe building contains eight class
rooms, each 24 hy lj-1 feet, with platform drinking louiitain, roomy clotbes
closets, etc., well lighted and ventilated.
Tbe basement contains tire proof
furnace rooms, closels and lavatories,
as well ai a covered in play hall (or
use iu wet weather. On each floor is
a large assembly hall measuring 28 by
60 ft., aud 28 by 32 It. A feature of
the b liiding are tbe stain, 10 placed
and arranged that no jamming or

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

B. B. Southern Taxation
One of tbe must important cases,
from a public standpoint, that has
•ver been argued in thiB province,
came up last Friday in the cuurt
house at Nelson, before It. S. Lennie,
the special judge appointed to bear
the appeal of tbe C. P. B. from
the decision ul tbe provincial assessor
tu assess the company in taxes fur
the land grant of the B. 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. Ami tlie third surprise was
when Mr. Lennie reserved judgment.

was at the regulai ion distance, and
run over a 10-lap track at Madison
Square Garden. Both men were in
excellent condition. 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. Having
given us the worst possible deal he
could scrape up in tbe cold snap
line, he quietly proceeded to ring
in a series of alternate clear, snowy
and rainy bunches of weather. One
kind alone would not have been so
troublesome hut the whole bunch
was rotten. Now he is toying
around and seeming to he hesitating as to whether he should bring
spring or not.

. 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

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.
Iiul as a prodncer of revenue it looks
like a guud law aid mie that I ears
witb alniOBt equal weight on all, (ur
there are real prohibitionists in practice whu feel the need ol a nip during
an attack of indigestion, or when the
weather isaruuud zer i puiut.
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

According to the best authorities,

certain frum bis own confession, that
Ins father bad a small (arm mar Bon

data, sume writers assign his birthplace to ibe present Boulogne-sur-
Mer; others tou place in tbe estuary

whu has but une birthplace aud une

BRIDGE WORK EMPLOYEES
Assurance Given There Wi'l be
No Discrimination
A prominent conservative of the
city waited on us yesterday regarding
the alleged interference by party politics in the enipluyment of men by the
contractors lor the Columbia Biver
government trallic bridge. This gen-
tlfiimn s'aietl that rumor was rile
that ilu bscharge of libera! inclined
laborers m .1 the hiring of conservative
men was 1 uineered frum Viotoria. lli
denied tin- .tut! explain,nl that it, was
the intention of the contractors to
give every man a chance for some of
the wurk while in progress ami while
there whs nut, at present, sullicient for
all tlmse who have applied, jet at the
same time the policy had been to em
ploy men lor a certain time anil then
give utheis wurk, su as to enable every
man to earn money He denied that
the Cunservative Association had interfered in nrder to seciue the discharge uf tie liberals. Among other
thingi he said that 80 men aud 14
teams were at work and that he was
assured that there wou'd be nn unfair
difcriiiiiniiist.ii.il iu Ihe employment
of either liberal o' conservative labor
While we ate nut trying tu defend
or accuse either parly we have been
asked to publish what wns said to u-
yester.l ■}-, and maintain that nil local

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.
