SEMLIN  ELECTED.
West Yale Says Prior  Government Must  Go.
Advices received by stage from Nicola
show that C. A. Semlin has been elected
over Dr. Sanson, the government candidate, by a large majority <^-
Every polling station except five, gives
the winning candidate a plurality.
Agassiz leads with a majority for Semlin of 32 out of a total vote of 60 ; while
Princeton is a close second with 31 majority for Semlin out of a total of 57.
Yale gave Semlin the largest majority
in proportion to voting strength, going
20 to I in favor of the opposition candidate.
Dr. Sanson's largest majority was at
Lower Nicola, where lie leu Semlin by o
The other places giving him majoritiei
were Coutlee, Lytton and Keefers, whili
Granite Creek split even.
Following is a detailed statement of]
the vote, the only polling place omitted
being Spuzzum, a small place on the C.
P. R. main line:

Majority for Semlin 107.
The total vote cast was smaller than in
the general election of June 1900, Princeton and Otter Valley showing the greatest falling off, owing to the absence from
the district of many prospectors during
the winter season.
The principal issue in the campaign
was the government's policy of land
grants to railways. Coupled with this was
a desire on the part of the electors to see
a general election on the lines of the redistribution bill passed last session,
which will make it possible for the interior to get fair representation in the
legislature.

DIAMOND DRILL
To   Start  on   Ashnola  Coal
Co's Ground.
I	
W. Blakemore, M. E., of Montreal,
consulting engineer for the Ashnola Coal'
Co., drove in from Penticton Wednesday;
on business connected with the company,'
and returned the following day.
While here Mr. Blakemore stated that
it was his intention to start up the
diamond drill belonging to his company;
in about six week's time.
The site selected for the new drill-hole
is nearly a mile east from the one sunk
last season, in which a ten foot seam of
coal was cut at a depth of 700 feet.
It is Mr. Blakemore's idea that he can
find this coal at a less depth and in a bet-
tjerjyjgitjon to mine, byjroing closer to
the metaliferous rocks, where more or
less tilting of the coal measures will have
occurred.
P. A. Raymond, who had charge of the
drill last year, has been spending the
winter in Denver, Col. He is expected
to return and resume the management
of it.
POWEB PLANT FOE MOBNING
STAB.
R. P. Williams, agent at Greenwood
for the Jenckes Machine company, has
sold a power plant to Dr. Wells, of the
Columbia University School of Mines,
New York, for use in prospecting the
Morning Star, in Fairview Camp, Okanagan, says the Midway Dispatch. This
property was recently bonded by outside
parties from S. Mangott, of Fairview,
and at the time the transaction was made
public it was stated that it was intended
to sink 300 feet on the claim. The plant
now purchased consists of a 30-horse
power vertical boiler, 6 by 8 Bacon hoist,
No. 5 Cameron sinking pump of plunger
pattern, ropes, buckets, cars, pipes, and
all necessary accompaniments. M. E.
Purcell, a mining man well known in
Rossland district, is in charge of the development work, which is now in progress at the mine.

Construction Camps Being Organized for Work.
Railroad building through the Boundary country will be pushed as fast as possible within a few days. It is understood
in Greenwood and Phoenix that the rock
work in connection with the grading of
the approaches to the V., V. & E. bridge,
near the C. P. R. bridge and below the
Granby smelter dam, will be started
within a week or so. The contract for
building the smelter spur has b<
awarded to Simms & Shields, of St. Paul,
who will sub-let to other contractors.
Practically all the right-of-way for the
V., V. & E. Railway from Greenwood
Phoenix has been   acquired, as has also
the   right:of-way  for   the   spur   to
ferifrifiy: "smelter.   CottsBniction   will be
started this spring.
The route finally decided upon to reach
Phoenix is that up Fourth of July Creek
from Grand Forks, thence by way of
Summit Camp and Providence Creek,
this route being preferred over another
survey which would run south of Phoenix instead of north in circling to get into that camp.
OLALLA  NEWS.
[From Star Correspondent.]
The tunnel on the Bullion group is being pushed ahead" by two shifts, and
there is no doubt now but that another
ten or twelve days work will bring the
breast into ore. This ore body on the
surface has run from a few dollars up to
$127.00 per ton.
I A local branch of the Provincml Mining Association has been formed hereJ
with a strong membership. Mr. L. M.
Peterkin was appointed a delegate from
Olalla, and left on Feb. 20th to attend
the Victoria convention.
( The decision of the P. O. department
|to inaugurate a through mail service between Penticton and Princeton, via Olalla, Keremeos and Hedley City, is regarded with great satisfaction here.

SANSON'S DEFEAT.
The defeat of Dr. Sanson may be
traced to a number of causes, but
the principal reason of his overthrow was the railway policy of the
government he represented.
The Mainland vs. Island cry was
not such a factor as in former elections in this riding, and the lack of
harmony existing in the ranks of
the opposition made its position a
weak one.
It was felt, however, that few
changes could be for the worse, after the government's policy for subsidizing railways had been publicly
discussed ; and the electors determined to administer a crushing
blow to the parasitic grafters and
promoters who have in the past
been fattening at the public's expense, with the permission and connivance of the Prior-Dunsmuir
combine.
West Yale has spoken strongly
against subsidies to railways, and
especially that form of a subsidy
known as a land grant. We believe it has voiced the opinion of
the British Columbia mainland on
the question, and settled it for good
and all.
WEST YALE ELECTORS.
It was a fortunate chance that
gave West Yale an opportunity to
speak for the people of the mainland on the policy of the Prior government. Perhaps nowhere in B
C. could a more independent class
of electors be found ; a class less
susceptible to the allurements of the
party in'power, or   more   quick to
ELECTION FRAUDS.
After the barefaced attempts at
lolesale bribery of the electorate
made by the minions of the Prior
jovernment in the recent election
n this constituency, it is interesting to read what the Montreal Star
says editorially in commenting on
iome election trials in eastern Can
da:
'' We do not hesitate to say that
a man who will commit perjury, or
condone perjury, in connection
with an election, is not to be believed on oath in commercial matters.
" A man who will steal ballots,
or condone the stealing of ballots,
is not to be trusted with any portable property that is worth his stealing.
" A man who will forge a ballot
or condone the forging of a ballot
will forge a cheque.
"The Hon. Sam Blake has hit
the nail upon the head by holding
directly responsible for these awful
crimes the men who profit by them.
Were there no receivers of stolen
property the thieves would find
their profession.unprofitable.
" Great and disgusting as have
been the recent exposures in the
courts, is it conceivable that the
whole or a tithe of the whole has
been revealed ? These exposures
are only made at enormous cost in
money and labor and in the face of
opposition, often as criminal as the
offences it tries to screen."
Noah was one of the earliest ad
vertisers. He advertised that he
would sail on a certain day. Those
who did not believe in advertising
failed to get tickets and were left
out in the wet without umbrellas or
bathing suits. As most of them
could not swim, they took to the
trees and became monkeys. The
origin of the monkey is now settled.—Midway Dispatch.
A writer in the Canadian Magazine for February has a most interesting article on railway taxation in
Canada. Some striking compari-
3 are made between the government revenues from railways in the
States and those in Canada, showing that the latter are enjoying a
great snap in this respect. He also
shows that the Canadian railways
have received from the people in
the way of cash and land subsidies
and other sources a total of two
hundred and twenty-five millions of
dollars, an average of eighteen
thousand dollars a mile, enough to
have built the roads, and yet they
do not pay over $500,000 a year in
taxes.
More trouble in the Crow's Nest
coal fields and an ominous situation at Nanaimo. When will our
legislators gain sense and wisdom
to profit by the experience of other
countries and pass a compulsory arbitration law ? Industrial war^
will cease then, and only then.—

NOBLE THIRTEEN.
" Little Willie " made a holler
Through the Similkameen,
Got quite warm around the collar,
As was quickly seen.
Thought he had the voters rounded
With his talk and booze,
And the boast he early sounded
That he couldn't lose.
When, alas ! the vote was taken
(Whisper low my friend)
Only thirteen stood unshaken,
Steadfast to the end.
Mourn with us for " Little Willie "
Sad his fate doth seem ;
Out of over sixty voters
He corralled thirteen.

COPPER   MAY BOOM.
Market is Buoyant and There is a
Large Demand.
A late issue of the Engineering
and Mining Journal gives some valuable information as to the existing
supply of copper, and the inadequacy of it to bear the cutting off
of any of the production.    It says :
'' The copper market is especially
strong and buoyant. Manufacturr
ers are buying quite freely, and
there is an evident impression
abroad that it would be well to lay
in stock or to make contracts at
the present time. Prices show an
improvement and the general appearance of matters is encouraging.
Some attempts have been made in
certain quarters to over estimate the
stocks of the metal on hand and
thus lower the conditions of the
market. We have every reason to
believe that our figures given last
week were as correct as possible to
make such a statement, and there
is nothing on hand, beyond the
normal stock at the present time.':
In its   issue  of  January io, the
same journal had the following I
torial mention :
"A bit of interesting news
connection with the extending
of copper is the announcement that
the Metal Plated Car & Lumber
Company of New York, has been
awarded the contract for sheathing
500 cars for the new underground
railroad with copper in its natural
color. The advantages of the system are claimed to be protection
against fire and saving in maintenance and as compared with painting and varnishing.
The Crow's Nest Strike.
The miners and the management
of the Crow's Nest Coal Company
are again at loggerheads, says thf
Nelson Tribune. The conflict between these two forces seems to be
irrepressible. On the one side are
men who want freedom of action ;
on the other side are men who
want to mine coal and make coke,
and at the same time they want lo
own the men who do the work.
The miners want so much money
for   the work   they   perform, and
want to be free agents when not at
work; they want to own their
homes and be able to sell their
holdings as freely as men in other
callings are allowed to ; they want
to purchase what they eat and
wear where they please and when
they please. They do not want to
be peons. The coal mine management, for some unexplainable reason, want to have strings on every
man in their company's employ.
They want to dictate who shall
work, where the work is to be done,
when the work is to be done, how
the work is to be done, the amount
to be paid for the work done, and
the hours in which the work shall
be done ; and in addition, want to
dictate how the workers shall live,
where they shall live, and what
they shall live on. The self-respecting men who work in metalliferous mines would not for a day
stand any such impositions, and
that coal miners do in every section of the world where coal is min
ed is inexplainable. The Tribune
has no inside information from either the mine management or the
miners.
DRIARD HOTEL,
NICOLA LAKE,
His Solemn Oath.
A popular comedian, tells a story
of a waiter at a London restaurant
who was sadly given to drink. A
party of young men determined to
reform him, and one day they read
to him an imaginary paragraph
from a paper relating to a terrible
accident in which an inebriate in
blowing out a candle was killed by
the flame igniting the alcoholic
fumes of his breath. James pricked up his ears at this and requested
that the paragraph might be read
to him again, which was done to
the evident horror of the poor man,
who immediately went in search of
a Bible.
Returning with this, he expressed a desire to take a solemn oath
upon it, bemoaned the fact that he
had been a sorry tippler and was
bringing himself to ruin and then
swore that never again so long as
he lived would he attempt to blow
out a candle,
The bad are powerful men mainly because the good are sound
sleepers.

Prof Crookes IDiscusses New Element
—Defends Old Light Theory.
Prof. Sir William Crookes, the
well-known scientist, questions the
report of the professors of the Electro-Technical Institute of  St. Pet-
• ersburg, which was deduced from
experiments with radium, that th
accepted theory of light is falsi
Prof. Crookes does not agree wit
the report, but admits that the di;
covery of radium has altered the
views of scientists on many points
Referring to the properties of radi
urn,- he said to the interviewer :
"If half a   kilogram were   in a
bottle on that table it would probi
bly kill us both.      It would almost
certainly blind   us and   burn   our
skin to   such   an   extent   that
.would not survive. The smallest
bit placed on one's skin will raise a
blister that will take months to
heal.
" Radium emits electrons at such
enormous velocity that the energy
of one gram of electrons is sufficient
to lift the whole of the British fleet
to the top of Ben Nevis, and  possi-
'; biy the   French   fleet,   too.     The
..metal must   always be a laboratory
subject,   but   experiments   with it
may lead to important discoveries."
Remarking   upon   the   extreme
isflaVcity of radium and the costliness of  its extraction   from  pitch-
«u$iffide, in which it is found in
about the proportion of a grain to
a ton. Prof. Crookes said that a
kilogram would cost ,£400,000, but
there is not so much as a kilogram
in existence.
Rare Old Whisky.
A Manitoba editor says that he
has two subscribers who frequently
get full, and every time they are in
that condition they come in and
pay a year in advance. One of
them is credited to 1941, and the
fraternity throughout the Province
are crazy to find out whatibrand of
whisky he drinks. The}' want to
offer it as a premium.
