GRIMMETT EXPLAINS A MATTER RELATING TO THE WATER & LIGHT QUESTION. dtp Stakes Water. TO SUPPLY SANDON WITH A MUNICIPAL PLANT. The first step to furnish Sandon with a municipal water works was taken yesterday, when the creek at the K. & S. Bridge No. 32 and a part of Sandon Creek was staked for the corporation. Application will be made to the government to have the water awarded to the city, following which action will be taken to install an up-to-date municipal plant sufficient to supply all the requirements, both for fire protection and domestic purposes. ��� the&ewitt is a mine. Recent developments on the Hewitt, Four Mile, proves that property to be one of the bonanzas of the Slocan. The whole face of the drift is in ore and a two-foot streak of galena has come in, running high in silver. This discovery of galena was unexpected, as the upper levels are dry ore only, but in the lower level the wet ore shows up lying right in the dry ore. The Four Mile road is not yet in condition for hauling ore, but as soon as it is a full force will be put on and some heavy shipping done. It is reported that an ariel tram from the mine to Silverton, four miles long, will be put in this summer. A tram is already being used from the mine to the wagon road on the Galena flat. (To the Editor of The Paystreak.) Dear Sir : In your issue of the 19th appears the following, being a portion of an editorial on civic matters : "The city owed the Sandon Water &Light Co. considerable money^on unpaid accounts before the fire and J. M. Harris offered to accept tax receipts for all he owed on real estate previous to the fire in exchange for a clear receipt for all the city owed him. The contract was a side issue of the swap. This proposition was accepted by the council and M. L. Grimmett was instructed to make oul the necessary papers, which he failed to do, and the agreement consequently was never signed, the city thereby losing an excellent opportunity to settle the matter up." You have evidently been misinformed as the statement that "M. L. Grimmett was instructed to make out the papers, which he failed to do" is absolutely incorrect. Shortly, the facts are as follows : On the 28th of December, 1900, Messrs. Atherton, Hunter and the writer were appointed a committee to wait on Mr. Harris to endeavor to make a settlement of the waler and lax matters up to the time of the fire. The committee had a long interview with Mr. Harris and duly reported the result ofthe same to the council. The council took no action in the matter and no arrangement was effected between the latter and Mr. Harris and the Sandon Waterworks & Light Company. I was never instructed to prepare any papers for the simple reason that no settlement was effected. An examination ofthe minutes of the council will show lhat my statement of the case is correct. I will be obliged if you will publish this letter, as it would appear from your article that thru my negligence "the agreement consequently was never signed, the city thereby losing an excellent opportunity to settle the matter up." Yours truly M. L. Grimmett. [This statement of Mr. Grimmett's places this matter in a different light both as to facts and dates. As his explanation agrees with the records, such as they are, of the council proceedings at.that time, we take it that we were out on a limb in saddling the city solicitor with the responsibility.] mining Float.

The Miner Boy property at Bear Lake, which belongs to Adams Bros. & Schonberger of Kaslo, will be worked this summer. It is reported in Nelson that the Hall Mines is to be closed down, as there is not ore enuf in sight to keep the property on the shipping list. P. G.

It is reported in Silverton that Mc- Cuaig, Rykert & Co. h ive secured possession of the Noonday and intend to open it and the Galena Farm prop- ties this summer. Carl Hand, formerly of the Payne is spoken of as manager and a concentrator is included in the plans. A statement made in these colums some three weeks ago to the effect that Chas. H.

The way was cleared by Wednesday evening and a locomotive sent to the Sandon end of the road. A gang is now busily engaged trimming off the face of the cliff and making the road safe for traffic.

McBroom in the Empire State building yesterday afternoon, was adjourned to Monday, May 5th. The meeting was called to consider an offer from a number of Spokan men lo bond the property which is located in the Slocan district. It is on** of the first claims discovered and locuieu in uie SJOCSJfr'-'tiiAirict. It adjoins the Reco and the Goodenough claims. About a year ago it was bonded to Scott McDonald, whose death occurred three weeks later. Since then the properly has remained idle. Prior to the bonding of the property to Mr. McDonald it was operated by lhe Blue Bird company of Spokan, the principle stockholders of which are F. K. and J. H. Mc Broom, D. C. Corbin, George Potter and W. S. Norman, all of Spokan, and J. M. Montgomery of New York. Mr. Montgomery is president; D. C. Corbin, vice president, and VV. S. Norman, secretary of the company.

There are |wo socialisms, one of which aims at state control of production and distri- )ution and the other which aims at the ibolition of the state itself and the establishment of communism. A centralized system of beaurcratic control |.-> naturally dreaded by thinkers like lerbert Spencer, who says that the ''Advent of socialism will be the great- ;st disaster the world has e.er known," id that it will end in military despotism, ^he socialism which horrifies Mr. Spencer is no doubt the Marxian form )f it based upon pure materialism, and io be brot about, according to Marx pimself, by revolution. But the fact that the tides of man's affaii s are controlled by other economic forces must lot be discarded. Religion for instance, Is an independent force and not, as the Marxians contend a product of economic renditions. He governs best who governs least, and sane socialism aims at [gradually bringing about a state of [society in which the state would exer- [cise as little control as possible and really represent a federation of com- (munes, each managing its own affairs. Under such a system land and tools would go to those best able to use them, land individual liberty would be secured not imperilled. Both the state socialists and the communist socialists are agreed that rent, interest and profit should go to the community and not to individuals; and the problem we have ; to solve is in what way can we best get rid of these monopolies by which a (few individuals enrich themselves at the expense of the many. The government scandals occuring almost every i day are not calculated to inspire pub- THE FILBERT HOTEL Neat, Clean and Comfortable Rooms. Accomodations Unexcelled. P. H. MURPHY - Wines, Liquors and Cigars, the Best that Moneu can Buu. 0 PROPRIETOR lie confidence in beaurocratic government. On the other hand, worse scandals are created under the capitalistic system, which moreover tends to make the worker a slave in all but name. Under efficient communism, or the co-operative commonwealth the worker would enjoy greater freedom than under present conditions, where he is only free to choose between the alternatives of accepting the monopolists' terms or starving. We do not share Mr. Herbert Spencer's fear that even under state socialism, military despotism would be established. The socialist or reform party all the world over is the peace party, or rather should be. There is therefore, no reason why ihe tnde- pendei.t labor parly, socialists, single- taxers and ot tiers, should not co-operate, as all for the most part are agreed upon an extended application of the principle of municipal socialism. In what direction has advanced thot travelled towards civil or religious freedom, where socialism is not prepared to go still further? As for military despotism, have we not already got that under capitalism ? judgment in the Berlin vs. Ibarris Case. Rev. W. H. Robb left on Tuesday morning for the Boundary country, where he will be one of the contracting parties in a very interesting ceremony. He is to be married in Cascade on Wednesday next. (Nelson News, April 22nd.) McDonald & Johnson yesterday, as solicitors for the plaintiff, received intimation th it a judgment had been handed down in favor of their client in the case of Harris vs. Kerlin which involved the ownership of the greater part of the present city of Sandon. This action was tried at Nelson in October of 1900, and it is only now that judgment has been rendered. J. M. Harris laid out the townsite of Sandon on the Louden Mineral claim, to which he had a crown grant. The defendant contended that, as a squatter, he had as good a right to the land as had the owner of the crown grant on the mineral claim Tho this case has been before the courts for so long a time it has not interfered with the transfers of property, as the land registry office has recognized the titles given by Mr. Harris, tho it has prevented those who have bot from him from obtaining loans on their lots.

Thus do we find the richest region between the rising and setting sun pillaged, besmirched and despoiled by men who should never have been raised from the discard of obscurity. And this is a business government! Dear God, but what a travesty ! William MacApams, - Publisher and Proprietor. SANDON, APRIL 26, igo2. Two and a half million is the estimated cost of running British Columbia's machinery of administration for another year. Half a million of this goes to pay interest on losses piled up in former years. A million and three-quarters was the loss last year. A quarter of a million, the estimates say, will cover the loss this year ; but the estimates usually lie about the deficit. The province is five million in debt and has positively nothing for its money except an insane asylum, a jail and a picturesque legislative building, all of which are over-crowded. This is'the financial statement of a province with a business government. And what are they doing to improve it ? Hundreds of thousands of acres of wild lands, in the hands of favored speculators, lie practically unassessed while honest improvement is taxed at every turn. Mines that work pay taxes ; mines that are silent pay none. The prospector who toils thru the trackless wilderness blazing trails and laying the foundations of an empire, pays a Free Miner's License for the privilege of being a pioneer ; the Mongolian parasite of Comox, Van Anda or Cariboo who starves the white miner out of the country pays never a cent. Railroads already bonused to the point of madness, pay no land tax, improvement tax or royalties and not a franchise in the province is assessed. Dunsmuir himself refuses to pay his timber dues. The big grafter avoids the tax gatherer, but the legitimate capitalist is soaked, cinched and salavated. Boodlers, charter-mongers and bonus-hunters infest the legislative lobbies. Departments are bungled by incompetents. Appropriations are disbursed by a family compact. The judiciary is no object lesson of sobriety and litigation is slower than the second coming. Cannery, railway and coal mining corporations control the actions of our legislators and greed guides the government. Private graft is the main consideration on both sides of the house ; public good is lost in the shuffle. Merely the difference between a desire for office and a possession of office distinguishes the opposition from To protect the nickle industry of Sudbury from the ravages of American invasion John Charlton proposes to put an export duty on matte and thereby force refining in Canada. If such agricultural legislaiors as John would remove the Dominion and Provincial restrictions which now lock New Ontario up and throw that vast and wealthy region open to the prospector, all the legal tender in the United States could neither buy nor corner the mines of Algoma, and the biggest smelters and refineries on earth would soon be smoking in Sudbnrv and Sault Ste. Marie. It is not the limited, artificial prosperity which a tariff can produce that Ontario requires to build up her mining industry. It is the broad, sound, wide-open, free land, free trade policy which invites everybody in, erects no barriers, places no restrictions, and offers an opening for the investment of every dollar by awarding the resources of the country to only those who will work them. Options, concessions, privileges, land grants, monopolies and tariffs will keep New Ontario a wilderness for years and years to come. Free trade, single tax and government ownership of railroads, smelters and refineries would make New Ontario the busiest mining camp that this old world or any other world has ever known. Any move tending that way is progressive. Any move tending the other way is retrogressive. Honorable John Charlton is on the wrong tack. A corporation with $4,000,000 capital and a nice New Jersey charter is to take over the salmon canneries of B. C. and form a trust. Dan Munn is promoter and if he puts the propo. sition thru successfully will make a clean, cool million out of the deal. This is the same Dan Munn who acted on the Chinese commission in the interests of the employers of Asiatic labor and endeavored to prove that the canners and others could not afford to pay a white man's wage. Munn was undoubtedly correct in his contention ; that is, judging from his point of view. If the canneries paid fair wages it would never have been possible for him to make $1,000,000 promoting the trust. At Centreville, California, last week the congregation of the Methodist church had a free-for-all fight about Jonah and the whale. It seems that some people in that southern city still cling to the orthodox belief that the whale swallowed Jonah, and they destroyed a large percentage of the church furniture endeavoring to prove it to their co-religionists. Six of them were taken to gaol and several more to the hospital, but it is not related that any conclusive evidence was furnished as to whether Jonah swallowed the whale or the whale swallowed Jonah. It must be admitted, however, that unless Jonah was a much more mild- mannered man than the deacons and deaconesses of Centreville the whale must have surely had a frightful stomach ache. Toronto people always- like to have the worst of it handed to them in large chunks. They have been roped in on every real estate boom from Winnipeg since, and only a few years airo thev were artistically taken into camp bv the Rossland wild-cat boom- ers. Then thev went against the Cali- fornia oil boom and got landed hard. Now they have an industrial and railway stock boom all of their own which is rapidly reaching the bursting point. Roulette and faro are not considered fashionable in the gambling circles of Toronto, but they will get their money down like a Rube al a county fair when it comes to a stock boom. Such true and consistent friends ot honest government as the Vancouver World are giving the Progressives gratuitous advice on how to conduct their party's affairs. That will bo all right, Mr. World Man. Of course wo appreciate the paraded affection and esteem with which you regard the party you work so vigorously to defeat. But you will have to prove your own prestiage by electing a man or two ot the other party before we can admit your worth as a counselor for ours. Up to the hour of going to press the World has been a hoodoo. TEDDY Rooseveldt has taken a contract to regulate the meat trust. He proposes to investigate the industry and force the packers to do the square thing. That such dear little infant in- dsutries should be ruthlessly forcedtoact honestly is treason to the Republican party sufficient to make the shade or William McKinley convulsive with lamentations.

"What sort of utensils are those jackpots, anyway," an eastern correspondent asks, "and where is the difficulty in getting them open ?" The best rule for opening is to catch something heavy in your hand and then stack up beans to the size of the pot. That will crack them every time, but some yahoo may back in on a four flush and tighten, which usually occasions an outpouring of pure unadulterated brimstone is one of the most conspicuous bye-products. There are no reliable rules for opening in the Ladies Home Journal. Jackpots are frequently used when the game is cooked. If there is a cold- deck planted and it can be raised in a jackpot, suckers can be done to a brown turn. When you make a call on three ladies or can see thirty miles the jackpot is usually yours. The socialists of Belgium have Europe trembling. They want manhood sufferage, with one vote to each man. This constitutes the sum of their immediate demands, but the class consciousness which prompts the proletariat to demand and the aristocracy to refuse, threatens to upset the whole scheme of government and shake the social fabric to its foundation. By refusing the franchise the Belgian government will invite revolution and the commune ; by granting it they place the government in the hands of the masses, who will overthrow capitalism and set up socialism. The mere fact that a large section ofthe face of the Big Canyon fell off and dropped a few hundred feet onto the K. & S. track should not alarm tourists who contemplate visiting the Silvery Slocan. Such incidents add considerably to the excitement of travel in the mountains. Think how en- chantingly romantic it would be to become the victim of a trainwreck where the cars would fall off the Payne bluff and light in the suburbs of Three Forks eleven hundred feet below. If the report is true that J. J. Hill has acquired control of the Granby Consolidated Jim pretty nearly holds the top hand. He already controls the coal fields at one end and the railroad between. Now if he has the mines and smelters at the other end he has pretty much the whole thing. Tom Shaughnessy must be a somnambulist. upg Lead in London is again on the rade. It is not ascending rapidly, but it is headed in the right direction. Another few shillings, and there will be enuf to satisfy the C. P. R. Then all the raise goes to the mine owner, providing the smelter don't back in on them. , Francis J. Dean has taken over the Nelson Miner plant and the Tribune machines, and now publishes the Daily News.

Here is a pointer, Colonel. Study Henry George. Lift the tax from industry and-place it on privilege. The railroaders along the main line ofthe C. P. R. who defeated Chris Foley at the last Dominion election are with the Progressives now. Anyone who undertakes to oppose them in the next campaign may help himself to a bundle of condolences. Harry Helmcken shows signs of weakening and may go over to the Dunsmuir party. A small bunch of secessionists such as he might make the Canada Northern proposition possible.
