"He 's ail right." That is what Jhe people of Kaslo think and say about A. Guthrie, the friend and leading contractor of Jim Hill, the man who is building the Kaslo & Slocan railway, Mr. Guthrie remained in and about Kaslo two weeks, and just before starting east to attend to his larger interests said, "I am going to leave the building of this road with Charlie.' Now, Charlie is not a mere lad, as one would think from the old gentleman's expression, but an experienced railroad builder himself. Charles Ffolliott built 80 miles of road in Minnesota last year. He is now superintendent of construction, paymaster and general Ty-ee of the Kaslo & Slocan railway. Several nationalities are represented among the sub-contractors Jas. McDonnell is a Sentchrpnn, Jim Welsh an Italian, Pat- Welsh an Irishman, and so on. Tbe contracts between the chief .contracting firm and the sub-contractors were signed a few hours before Mr. Guthrie's departure. Jas. McDonell gets the 3 miles nearest town and already has about 100 men shoveling dirt. Jim Welsh, the Italian, whose original name was Welcke or something like that, has the next three miles. His partner is Jacketta. They graded the five miles of the Nelson .& Ft, Sheppard from Fivemile point to Nelson. They have hauled their dump-carts and several loads of supplies out to (their camp about 4 miles from ��own. Pat Welsh has the next $ miles. Then conies Cameron & Porter with 6 miles; McLean, Mc- Beth & McLean with 9 miles; J. W. Stewart with 3 miles. They have all gone across the boundary to ship in their equipments, and .are expected to load the Str. Nelson down Saturday night. Jack O'Leary has 3 or 4 miles on the other end of tho line. As he hatl hut a short distance to move his outfit, he is now on the ground, waiting for the engineers to get through locating. A njw line has been run from Bear Lake to Sandon, which keeps on a nearly level grade and is several hundred feet higher above Three Forks than the .old survey. The bridging, tie and track] ay- ing contraots are let to Porter Bros. There will be abuut a dozen tfamps along the line, and the number of men will be little less than a thousand.

That there is renewed interest in the Lardo country is evidenced by the fact that representatives of about all the chartered companies operating in Kootenay have either been there the past week or are going soon. The Dominion government, too, is taking an interest in that section. A gentleman of this city recejyed word, yesterday, from Mr. Mara that the government had ordered an miginepr to proceeed to the Lardo-Duii^an river, examine it thoroughly and report on the feasibility of making it navigable for lake steamers. There are many persons who predict for the Lardo country a future as great as thu I uf the Slocan The streets already show a marked improvement because of the work done on them. M.

The first accident in connection with the construction of the railway occurred yesterday. A man known as Overland Joe, an old stage driver, who has been working in restaurants this winter, while driving a 4-hnrse team for Jim Welsh was thrown from his seat by the wagon striking a stump. A wheel passed over him, breaking bis leg and crushing his chest. A- physician was called. The unfortunate man is at the Lakeview. He is 56 years old and the chances are against his re covery. Welcome Alberta. Tho new steamer Alberta arrived at Kaslo Wednesday evening, and was met at the landing by a large concourse of citizens, headed by the, Kaslo band, it being the lirst appearance of the latter. The'firing of cannon (dynamite) was a feature of the ovation tendered the Steamer, On board were Geo. Alexander, capitalist, owner; Capt. Hay ward. Purser Wau^h, attended by other officers and crew. Among the passengers were J. D. Marsden of Pilot Bay and Jap King of Silverton. A large number of landsmen and landswomen went aboard and inspected the fine furnishings. After three cheers for the Alberta, three cheers for Capt. 'Hayward and three cheers for the Kasiti bai.d, the crowd dispersed. THE '��� PROSPECTOR BY W. 1). PRATT. Opinions may differ as to ivbether R. B. Kerr, of New Dent Ver, isn't developing a remarkable j agility in getting down on the wrong side of the fence whenever i a political campaign comes along, i but there will be no difference of opinion as to his having acquired the distinction of being the leading political speaker in Kootenay. , As such his opinions on the approaching Dominion election, as it concerns this district; arc interesting. 9 ' '' ' When asked whether he favored u convention for the purpose of nominating an independent candidate, he unhesitatingly replied. that he was not in favor of it. He went on to say that there is not1 room in this district for three can- j (delates to run, and that there are not three available candidates, i That it must be a direct issue be- j tween free trade and protection, j with Bostock as the leader of the j forces on one side and Mara on the 'other. He further said that no man could properly canvass this��� large district���including Yale-Car- i.bou and East and West Kootenay -at an expense of less than five thousand dollars, and that Bostock and Mara are the only men who have or can secure that amount of money to spend. are public men outside of their paper, and would be public men if not associated with "a paper. John Houston is an example; As a political organizer and public speaker (?) he leaves the newspaper field and invites applaure or criticism in another role, but the large-majority of editors are known only--through " their newspaper work, and tho Prospector, Re8s�� lancl-Miner or any other paper errs when-it singles them out as targets, ��f ���\. ?-':r^vv. f.>'.~.;,:.... - *��� ���'���'/**hI B. KERR WHICH SHALL IT BK? Edward Meek says in the Canadian Magazine: Canada is eyi; dently destined to be a nation of two languages at least. The loss or suppression of either the French laYjguage or the English language would'be a calamity to civilization. A nation withtwo such languages, as the English and the French is far ��� richer intellectually than a nation with only one language. The Manitoba representatives say: One flag, one language,4'one school. '��� '��� WIIICKK DOBS KOOTKNAY COME IN? The Prospector pleads guilty to having violated at different times j one of the plainest rules of, news-| paper etiquette. It has done this in common with every other news-, paper in the district. The offense j consists in referring to the editors: or publishers of other papers by - name, or as the editors or the pub- ] Ushers, when etiquette requires that ��� only the paper itself should be re-- forred to. The rule is that the i editor and the publisher sink their identity in the paper. It is all j right for the N. Y. Herald to call j the N. Y. Sun, a vile and dirty j sheet, but it would not be right for it to call Chas. A. Dana a vile and dirty man. This matter of personal criticism and abuse between editors may be interesting to readers but it is liable to be curried too far. Here is a recent instance: The Rossland Miner says: Where in the world did Senator John L. Wilson find out that we are a people who believe in free trade? It would be easier for him to find a gold bug in the state of Idaho than a free trader in West Kootenay, always excepting the editor of the Nelson M iner who i? a free trader because he was born one. He is a good example of what scientists call arrested development. His mental development was arrested when he left the shores of merry Epgland, no longer merry, worse luck, but in a most grievous slough of ruined agriculture, falling wages, and increased pauperism, and he has never iearnt anything since. We are not denying but what the Rossland Miner says in the above paragraph may be literally true; we only quote it as an instance where personal journalism is carried t"b far. The Rossland Miner should have contented itself by .saying that the Nelson Miner is an example of arrested development, and left out all reference to its editor. In every newspaper office, editors, publishers, reporters and everyone connected with the paper go to make up the paper. It represents them all. They are to the world as though they were Hot. The paper alone is responsible and subject to criticism. There are, of course, editors who in ay be criticised or commended ^personally, That is because they The estimates just submitted to parliament show some very substantial reductions���as far as the Northwest is' concerned, the mounted police vote being reduced $155,000, while* the total reduction on Northwest government, mounted police and Indians is $241,825. The total reduction:from the total vote of last year is about a million and a half, but to this amount is yet to be added the supplementary estimates. As the estimates do not include any sum for the Hudson Bay railway, it is altogether likely' that at the close of the session, while economy has been studied with regard to the Northwest, it will be found that it was only that more lavibh expenditures might be made elsewhere. Our old friend the Trent Valley canal figures to the amount <tf $803,000, the Soulanges canal $450,000 and the total of canals for $2,527,420. There is no additional amount sufficient to complete the Edmonton bridge even after the town puts up the $15,000 asked in cash. But the $25,000 of last year appears ns as a remote and probably we ought to be thankful for that.���Edmonton Bulletin. Bi n Bt ������mm D085NU MAYOR: JOHN KEEN. MEMBEU8 OP CITY COUNCIL: O. T.

Monday,' three distinct fires raged in timber, in dangerous proximity to town. - There- had been several calm, drying days. On the day mentioned giists of wind Came up and caused fires which till then had been submissive and harmless 'to spread rapidly. All the forenoon men were righting the fire in the dry timber which surrounds the school house in its new location, the residence of Geo. Kane, and the. village wbich has recently sprung up in their j vicinity. Shortly after noon an alarm, was sounded by the, mill whistle and responded to by the Kaslo fire department, tmd volunteers, A bush fire was getting dangerously near the sampler, threatening to envelope it with a cloak of flame, The fire was easily warded off. Two or three cabins in the ravine above the mill Were burned. Meanwhile dense smoke arose on the hill above the town and' as 'it partially obscured the sun a pallor���a pale atmosphere���o'er spread the town, all the inhabitants of which appeared in the streets watching the unusual occurrence: as we might fancy the inhabitants of Pompeii watching -the volumes of Btnoke and lava 'roll down the mountainside on that fatal day that has been the inspiration of many articles of prose and song, not the least of which is McCauley's Last Days of Pompeii, beginning: Hear, fairest Italy Some of the descendants of the few who escaped that day from Pomp iii are now shoveling dirt on the Kaslo & Slocan railroad and are enveloped by the smoke from our bush-fire which has now swept through all the timber between tbe creek and David Kane's house, the latter being easily saved by back-firing. of the timbers seems to be wholly without ' foundation. Tbere : Was nothing to indicate that the timbering was at fault. Manager McDonald states that just before coming ont of the mine the night 'shift put 'in some heavy shots and when these went off it broke down' an immense amount of ore, An unusually large cbunk of solid ore seems to have struck and broke one of the cappings on the upper floor. Having started, noticing in theshape of timbers could stop it, and every floor was carried away to the bottom. The damage was not heavy. In less than two days everything was running smoothly as usual.��� Wallace Miner.

Water varies in price from 6 cts. to 25 cts. per gal. Beer is nearly as cheap. Otherwise the camp is very reasonable in charges.

There are .stages running from here to a'l parts. Customs and everything strange, but I am catching on fast. They estimate that there are 18,000 tnen on the fields, and I am sure three-fourths of them are broke. What I can bear about the mines there is more boom there than gold.

Just arrived from Montreal a carload of hardware via the Great Northern railway, only two weeks on the road, the quickest time on record. And right here just note the dpference in dealing with a concern managed by a plain everyday business man and the concern at whose head utands a bloated knight (thepomp- .ous Yankee knight of her majesty's realm, who has foresworn the country of his birth for Canadian wealth and British honor?)' who expects his fellow citizens to fall down and worship him and patronize the C.
