.A. Ashcroft. li.' having arrived a few
• lays ago fiom England. This process
uses only dry chlorine gas to replace
the sulphur in tho ores, heated in a
converter to 400 degivs C, just above
the melting point of lend, bv electric
current through carbon poles. The
iron and quart/, are unaffected at this
temperature. Metallic zinc from a
previous melt is introduced wheu no
sulphur remains, and zinc having the
greatest affinity for chlorine combines
with all present, leaving molten lead
carrying the gold and diver, which is
drawn off. Chloride of zinc is soluble
in water and is washed out, leaving
worthless tailings, and the zinc is
electrically deposited as metal from

With tho Bonnington power at our
doors, salt a cheap commodity, and
the low cost of installation and operating this plant, what better solution
of our /inc-lead problem can we have
to work at the mine? This process

WM. DAVIOHOM, M.I..A.,
Meets Ilia Conntitiieuti Hero on Monday
Night.
Monday evening a public meeting
was hold in tho Minors' Union hall, to
permit of Wm. Davidson, M.L.A. for
the Slocau riding, obtaining the do-
sires of his constituents with respect
to appropriations for public works in
this vicinity. Thero was not a largo
attendance. Al Teeter occupied the
chair and introduced tho inemher.who
Voiced one or two sentiments that were
particularly pleasing to the Conservatives present.
Mr. Davidson stated he had no excuses to olTcr or apologies to make for
his course ro far in tho legislature,
lie wa.s supporting the Conservatives
because they showed an inclination to
do what was right and fair by the
country. Tho government was in closo
quarters and owed its existence to the
independents, but so long as thoy continued to do what was fair thoy would
be supported by him and his companions, 'ihe independents had no object
in throwing down one party merely to
lot in another. That step would mean
a new elcction.to which ho was averse.
He-had Ix'on criticized for the stand
he had taken in the houso, which was
claimed to lx- inconsistent with his
platform, but the position of affairs at
victoria was binding on the independents, and they were doing what was
fair by tho province.
Tho finances of the province wero in
a bad way, and it, wa.s nota likely the
appropriation to the riding would be
large. Still it would get its proper
- hare, and he would try and have it as
large as possible. Accordingly he
desired to know just what was required for roads, etc., in these parts. Mr.
Davidson spoke briefly on the legislation so far nassed in the house, nnd
dwelt upon tne clauses of the assesn-
msnl act dealing with mines and minerals. It was a plank of the Tories to
put the two per cent tax on the net
prolit of mines, but it was since found
that would lie a losing game, as a certain revenue must lx* obtained. Tho
government was at its wits' end to
cover the debated point and had nol
y.'t succeeded. The Houston amendment was at tirst thought good, but
lias sin"f* been proven faulty. However, thi mineowners had promised
lli" speaker their views on the point,
so there was still hope.
Several other speakers briefly addressed the meeting and H. Grose, E.
Melley, P. Carlisle and J. Skinner
were appointed a committee to draft
out the neiils of the camp and forward them to Mr. Davidson, the data
to be endorsed at another meeting to
be held this evening iii tli-- same hall.
Before closing the mooting, Mr. Davidson reit -rated that, as between the
two parties in the house, he would
continue to support the Conservatives,
so long as thev in their turn continued
to do what was right by the people.

(
How Cynthia Davis, daughter ot
Farmer Davis, got bor romantic notions was u pumle to her parents and
lots of other folks. Her father's hired
men began to fall lu love with her ut
sixteen. At seventeen she hroke the
heart of u wire fence agent At eight-
ecu slit* con 1.1 huvo had her pick of lmlf
• ilizen men ranging from farmers'
sons to t-esper nnd mower iigents. She
wus nineteen when ,ied Williams, a
young carpenter from the village, came
out to rebuild a torn .and roshlugle the
house.
Cynthia didn't want tho Impossible,
but she had certain Used ideas. She
would never full iu love nnd mnny n
mau unless ho hud saved her life. All
of her would bs lovers were uuxlous to
toe the mark, but opportunity had never presented Itself. Sho wouldn't break
through Iho Ice on ibe horse pond In
winter, ynd she wouldn't tumble Into
tlie well in summer. Her father owned
n savage bull, hut she didn't go picking daisies In the Bold whore the bovine
grazed. If B mod dug ciiine along the
highway she wns sure to bo In the
house, nnd If lightning struck the house
she was sure to bo nt a neighbor's. On
one occasion u sowing machine agent
wbo bad sought to capture her heart
nnd bud knocked $1J off the regular
price to mnke himself solid tbougbt the
golden hour wns at bund. He drove up
one day and found a tramp 'sussing"
rynthlu, but beforo lie could rush to
the rescue and win her gratitude she
had taken tbe fellow by the onr and
run bim out of tho gate.
One after unother enme aad weut,
and Cynthia's only excuse for turning
them down was that each and every
oue of them wns ns commonplace as
pumpkin pie. .led Williams had bnd
his warning, but be straightway fell In
love Just tbe same nnd wns taken on
probation. That was one good thing
ubout tbe girl. She always gave a man
at least four weeks In which to snvs
ber life. .Ted hud n three months' Job

bad to capture Cynthia's henrt within
four weeks or uot ut all. A man wbo
uses tho rule and compass and square
bas a bend for circles and angles, and
Jed was no sooner In love than be removed tlie shingle nulls from his moutb
uud Bat down to ponder, ne knew
where the othera hud failed. Tbey
hnd waited for opportunity. He would
make opportunity.
I'he Urst more ,Ied made along tbe
uew line was to take Cynthiu to the
circus. He was particular to point out
thc lions to ber, especially one big fellow, and to recall to memory the fnct
that this Numidlnii bud killed uo less
thnn seven keepers, ns stated in the
newspapers. The Sams lion hnd also
escaped from the circus on several occasions nnd devastated a dozen barnyards. He told his story glibly and
ourelossly, nnd nsido from a sltuo-ccr or
iwo Cynthiu was not much affected. If
ihe lion escaped during the next three
months, ns wns possible, sho would be
uwny oil In Oblo or Indiana, end sho
would bo safe.
Tben John Itiirns came out (o pnlnt
tho bnrn a fiery rod. He whs u friend
of Jed Willinms. nnd he brought out
the news with hlm thut the lion hnd
escupod whilo the circus was leaving
tbe village. Ho was ono of 200 men
who bad spent the dny with some circus people looking for the monster, and
tho search was being continued, It
wns startling news for tho farmers.
They might not moot the beast In their
cornfields by dnyllght, but when darkness came he might pick them up even
on the doorstep. Jed didn't lioast of
wbnt he would do If ho met the benst
face to face, nnd Cynthia mentally gave
him n credit mark. In some mysterious wny the bnrn painter kept track of
the lion nnd gnvo others the news. The
Xumidlnn wns seen hero and there.
Mere be bad killed n cow; there a
homo. In ono case lie hnd attacked n
fanner and broken his back, nnd ull
efforts to recapture hlm were futile.
ln ihe midst of these wild alnrms
•"ynthla hnd to go to a neighbor's of
sn evening, and Jed wns courteous
-uoOagli to offer het his escort Borne
Uogttnf remarks were made about the
Hon. hut they did not affect tho girt.
liven wh.-ii Jed armed himself witli a j
stout chili sho thought mors of her errand than of being eaieu alive. II was
a -fairly darkish night, but Ihey took
no lantern. They bad eighty rods to
go and had accomplished half lhe distance when there was a,growl uud a
roar, and the escaped lion stood boforo
them. He hnd been disappointed la
finding a cow for his supper, and now
he meant to devour a well built carpenter nnd u plump checked girl. Tbo
frightened Cynthia grubbed Jed around
tho neck nud exclaimed:
"Oh, Jed, Jed, but it Is the Hon, nnd
we'll be killed!"
"Let me get nt him:" shouted Jed
ns ho struggled against her clutch.
"Ho mny kill me, but I'll save your
life nt least.   Get behind inc."
Then the heroism In the carpenter's
composition had 11 calcium light thrown
upon It. He flourished his club and
shouted. The llou scratched up tbo
dirt nnd gurgled In his thront. Jod
sprung forward and struck nt bim,
nnd the beast dodged and gurgled somo
more. Cynthia had sat down In the
rond In her fright and didn't see much
of the battle, but at tho cud of five
Uiliiules the panting Jed helped her up
and announced that the ferocious beast
had been driven off.
"Oh, Jod. but you nre sure he's gone
-sure of It?" she asked.
Hor nnswer was n roar from tbe
Chagrined liou as he Bed across the
field.
"He would hnve killed me but for
you."
"He surely would," replied Jed.
"Then you huve saved my life."
"I guess I have."
"And—and"—
"And, Cyuthia, dear, I wnnt you for
my wife. You know I love you. I'm
not asking because I saved your life,
but because I bave learned to love you.
Sny you'll marry me."
"I'll—I'll be ongnged to you." she
answered as sbe clung to his arm
while they wulked homeward.
Jed was duly praised, nnd lie carried
himself like the honest man be was.
AH went well for two weeks, nnd then
Cynthia suddenly asked him one day:
"Jed, the next morning after we saw
tiie Hon the painter hnd n big lump on
top of his bead. You must huve iiit
bim by mistake."
"WtinJ nre you talking about?"
"And fnther found our old buffalo
robe In the pasture."
"Well, you aro not going to break
Ibe engagement, are you?"
"N-no, I guess not, but It was mean
of you to make me' sit down in the
rond that wny:"

If we drop a lump of sugar Into a cup
of tea we find It takes a considerable
time to melt if allowed to remain at the
bottom of the vessel, but If we hold it
up In the spoon near the surface of the
liquid lt dissolves much more speedily.
This ls owing to tlio sugar as it melts
rendering the portion of the tea containing it heavier. Tlie sweetened part,
therefore, descends, leaving tbe sugar
constantly lu contact with unsweetened
or only partially sweetened tea—Iu fact,
a eoutinual clrculntlon of fluid Is promoted until the whole Is dissolved.
Wheu tbo sugar ls placed or permitted to He nt the bottom of tbe cup It
dissolves until the layer of fluid next
lt is thoroughly sweetened av saturated, wheu It practically censes to dissolve any further, the sweetened and
heavier stratum above It acting for a
considerable time until the law of diffusion comes gradually into play, like
nn impervious covering, In keeping
bnck the lighter, unsweetened fluid
above.
Hence tho reason also why stirring,
ln breaking up the saturated layer and
allowing access to tbe unsweetened
portion, ls so effectual In bringing
about the uniform sweetening of tea.
Life ls not infrequently sweetened by
the snme stirring up process.

Frank It. Stockton, who was, ns a
rule, extremely nverse to social functions of any nature, wns luduced to
attend a "literary" dinner ln Washington, given by n certain western senator ln honor of n well known Indiana
novelist
Mr. Stockton bad takeu into dinner
the slstcr-ln-law of his host. Sbe was
nn excellent woman, but anything but
"liternry."
Tbe conversation touching upou the
beauties of Omar Khayyam, a spirited
discussion of the Fersinn poet ensued,
during which the bewildered woman
from the west caught from time lo
time the name of "Omnr."
Turning to Mr. Stockton, the sister-
lulu\v nsked:
"Who Is this Mr. Omnr they're tnlk-
Ing nbout? Vory popular ln society, I
suppose."
"Why, madam," replied the humorist gravely, "that man did something
tbat forever shuts him out of society."
"Gracious me!" exclaimed the worthy

Jean Lindsay passed down the long
hospital ward with linn, quiet stop.
The blue glnghuui nnd ample white
apron of her nurse's dress hung in
loose folds urouud the tall, gracious
figure. Tbe spotless bauds at wrists
and neck only served to show up tho
fine whiteness of her skin. Hor snowy
enp rested on thick waves of bronze
balr.
Dexter Gnrst drew bnck into tho corridor and, watching her, wondered If
the time would ever come whon he
could see her move thus toward hlm
nnd not find his whole being stirred lo
Its very center.
The day, nearly n year before, when
lie hnd laid bis heart at her feet was
like a badly healed sear In the doctor's
life, lt hud uppnrontly passed out of
her recollection.
She guve blm her hand with n smile
of good comradeship, and together
they made tbelr usuul morning round
of the ward. Near an empty cot nt the
end she paused.
"Little Lad Is slttlug up," she suid,
smiling with the triumph of one who
hod won n hard bnttle and led the way
outside.
By a sunny window he sat In his
wheel chnlr, a little figure even fur
eight yours, In the loose hospital suit
of gray flannel. The doctor himself
had brought bim there nearly three
months before, a shapeless bundle. He
hnd been plucked from under a horse's
hoofs in Uie street. No one seemed to
care to lay auy special clnlm,to bim,
and yet he wns undoubtedly tho child
of refined parents.
For weeks Garst nnd Jenn Lindsay
had fought with deuth for this om*
small and apparently superfluous life.
Tbere were times when the doctor gnvo
up hope, and nothing but the strength
of Inherent motherhood In the womnn
seemed tp keep the child nllve.
"How Is the little lad?" the doctor
would nsk ns he entered the ward
morning after morning, nnd "Little
Lad" be beenine to every one In the
hospital.
As he took a feeble bold on life ngiin
his whole starved little heart went out
and Inld bold on these two people, bis
doctor and nurse, with a mightiness of
love which almost hurt bim at times.
Ho would llo In bis cot and. watching
the doctor while he mnde his rounds,
think that be must he very like the
mau. about whom Nurse Lindsay bad
told bim, who ouco li\rd upon the
earth and healed all the sick people
and loved little children. It never occurred to him to associate the beautiful story with the name he had so often heard in blasphemy In the street.
But be looked nt his own doctor and
felt that It must be true.
A light might suddenly have been
turned on inside the small body, so
swift was the radiance which flooded
his fnee ns Jean and her companion
enme in sight. Garst sat down near
lhe wheel chnlr and, taking one small
band, beat lt softly against his broad
open palm.
"Next woek," bo said, "I nm going
to run nway into the country with
Little Lad for a few dnys beforo—before 1 go nbroad."
Jenn Lindsay could not quite conceal
the start bis words gave her, but she
held her voice steady.
"Then the long contemplated course
at Bonn ls to be aii accomplished fact
after all," she snld.
"Yes." The doctor did not raise his
eye*.
Little Lud had looked from one to
• he oilier in vague bewilderment
"But, first of all," Gurst went on,
"Little Lad und I will Cave perhaps n
whole week at a splendid place I know
of, where there are tall plus trees and
■i big lake."
He was watching the boy's face and
saw how the delight which his words
called up became slowly clouded.
"Will she come too?" Ho motioned
with his hand toward the unrse.
Oarst remained silent. The child
turned to Jean.
"Won't you come, too?" bo pleaded.
He rend tbe negation in her face
even before she slowly shook her head
nnd (lung himself toward the doctor.
".Make her conie: Mako her come,
tool" be togged passionately,
Jean stooped hurriedly and, putting
bad; the dump hair from his forehead,
kissed  it.
"I'm nfrnld that would be quite impossible, Little Lad," she said quietly
and moved away down tbe corridor,
But even us she did so un Intense
physical weariness seemed to have de
sconded npon her. She felt stifling In
tbe bright glare of the morning sun*
Shine and, putting up her hand, push*
eil the heavy hair back from ber forehead. When she luul passed out of-
slglit of tbe doctor and Little Lad, she
turned nnd leaned ngainst onopou window, in place of tin- bare red brick
walls of the nurses' borne opposite sir-
teemed to see n vista of tall trees, with
the doctor and Little Lnd lying on the
soft pine needles beneath and lhe water lapping Idly at their feet.
A BWift. Intense desire ti) he one nf
the liltle party rose within her. For
the tirst time In her life she was weary
■if her work, Mori' than she had ever
wan ted anything sh" wanted (o get
nway and be t.-i!;en care of, even .':.*
Little Lad would be, by this strong, self
reliant man.
As  ibe  stood  there nn  ambulance
lurned In ni the gate, and Jean I.liul
isy sighed proteitlngly, she knew that
if there  was  to  be un  operation  sbe
would be scut for, nud htr whole being
rose In a quick revolt of weakness nnd
Inadequacy. She felt thnt the smell of
ether Just then would strangle ber and
put out her hands as though she would
push awuy the burden of respousibllity
—those linn while hands In which
strong men bad Clung In agony and
within whose wnrm clasp moro than
one little form had grown cold.
She tried to reulizo as she stood
there what her life would be when
liexter Oarst went out of it.
"A month from now," she said, and
her strong lip quivered—"a month from
now he will be in Germany, and 1"—
lhe thought wus like a pall descending upon the brightness of the sun.
Sho turned away, and even us she did
so Gnrst's silence In nnswer to Little
Lad's passionate "Mnke her como, too!"
came to her with a stab.
"Miss Lindsay needs n rest," the
bouse surgeou thought, looking nfter
her with a critical eye a motaeut later
and noting the pallor of her face.
That night ns sbe mude her round of
the ward sho became aware of a pair
of bright eyes fixed upon her above
very flushed cheeks. She saw nt a
glance that Little Lad had been crying
nnd, golug swiftly to bis side, knelt and
gathered blm iuto her arms.
.'•What ts It, son?"
The weak bunds went around her
neck. »
"1 want you—to come, too," bo whispered With quivering lips.
The sob which bad lain heavy mound
Jean's heart till day rose In hor throat.
"lie does not want me l.i-not now-
Little Lnd,' she said wearily,
"He does!" Thp boy pushed her from
him and looked up into her face. "He
said he did! After you went away 1
asked blm, und he said 'yes.' But he
said 'twasn't any use asking you; that
he'd asked you once to go nway Wltb
hlm to h beautiful place and to live
with hlm always afterward, but that
you wouldn't. Oh, how could you not
want to?" Ills eyes searched hers with
Incredulous reproach.
Jean bent suddenly and kissed hlm.
Utile Lnd thought she had never looked :jo beautiful, but he wus not satisfied. He put his hands ngafost her
breast and pushed ber back until he
could see hor face.
'Would you—If he was to ask you
again?" bo pleaded wistfully.
Then he was held close against her
bosom, and her tears wetted his cheek.
"Yes. dear Liltlo Lad," sbe whispered.
"I would."
lie could hardly sleep lhat night with
his longing for the morning. When It
came be wns In bis wheel cbalr watching the door by which lhe doctor would
eater, and ns be saw bim he raised
himself by the arm* .if his chair until
!,.- was almost Standing. Ho did not
know that Jean had entered tho corridor from the other end and Wns moving
toward him.
"She said"—he had lo stop and swallow, for bis excitement chok ,. him—
"she said -she would! She s-.ld—If you
was to ask her again-she would!" he
cried tremblingly.
Gurst's eyes went bey-nd ibe wheel
chair to the woman who stood behind
it. A dull red leaped to bis face. Tbere
was a sweet tremulousness upon tl,.
gracious figure thnt sent the blood
bounding through Mi veins. He took
n step v.~ >rd, .ind the strong bond
which he held out shook.
"Will you?" he • Bked simply.
Jean laid her own within it with a
looked that blessed.
"I want to go, even more than Little
Lnd does."' she said.

One of Ihe gravest objections to training a child to be left banded ii the certainty that lt will be nicknamed from
Its peculiarity, especially during tbo
early years of life. Most eoiir.tiesHn
England have tbelr idiomatic expressions to denote left handedness, nnd
they tire oft"ti prefixed to the ::.['nrtu-
nq4e left banded child's name. In London the term is knek banded, tbe word
being also equivalent to awkward. In
Lancashire it is k-pnwed, in Yorkshire
gallock or gawk handed, an expression
dating back to at least tbe seventeenth
century. In Derbyshire nre used the
terms fceg hand d, cork handed nnd
corky handed, while In the Tecsdals
district cuddy banded is common, und
in Nottlnghamshll     , ..llet handed.
In the south of Bi ..land special terms
to denote loft handedness are also
found. In Dorset It is scrome handed,
and In Devonshire coocby handed. In
Scotland we Ond gnwk banded, and In
lhe west cowry handed. In Ireland a
left handed nuin N called a killiogue.
Mr. Tlm Healy used Ibis word In n
speech at Fast Wk'klow, in whl«*fi he

When we read 11 report from nny of
the liio regular weather bureau stations throughout our lund bringing the
information that n rainstorm, a tornado or some other meteorological phenomenon began nt a certain hour we
need 1. 't suppose that thc hour mentioned refers to the time at the plnce
where ihe observation was made. The
hour given If Ihe exact New York time,
for every clock nt the regular weather
bureau stations all over the land ls set
to the seventy-fifth meridian, or eastern standard time, which ls exactly
five hours behind Greenwich time.
Only this standard of time Is used
ln the text of the Monthly Weather
Review, and nil weather bureau observers ere required to record observation by it. The reason for this is that
the best scientific deductions from tlie*
weather reports must be based upon
the conditions of tbe atmosphere existing simultaneously in different parts
of the iiaiinli-y.
It would be vory ludicrous If nil the
hundreds of reports sent daily had to
bo changed at the central otlice In
Washington from local to eastern lime,
and so all the regular observers are required to use tho New Vork, or eastern
time, In making their reports.
Tin re are ninny volunteer observers
nnd newspuper correspondents who in
rep' ting weather phenomena use otber standards of time. If the weather
bureau has occasion to use their re-
poris lhe lime is often corrected to
agree Wltb the eastern standard or tlie
local  standard   ls  mentioned.

Origin i.f Ihr Letter  V.
The letter V may be regarded ns the
mutilated remains or one of the symbols used by the ancient Egyptians in
their hieroglyphics or picture writing.
A common animal In their country wns
the two horned sand viper, n representation of which stood for V. The
pri.-sis ultimately found thnt for the
practical purposes of everyday life it
was a waste of time to use elaborate
hieroglyphics and invented a kind of
Shorthand to meet the occasion. In
this the snake was reduced to a V with
n dash (V ) to represent horns und
body.
The riia-nlclans adopted this letter,
am' trom tliem we get our V by losri of
fie dash, leaving only the two liltlo
bo-•« of the original picture. Tliis
siuil.e lu still common In Egypt nnd Is
probably the one mentioned in Genesis
xlix, 17, "Dan shall be a serpent by the
way. an adder In the path, that biteth
tho horse heels, s.i that his rider shall
fail backward." Travelers tell us that

FRIDAY, JANUARY 8th, 1004.
K1HTOKIAI.    -UKOI'l'INOS.
Yes, times nre quiet and business is
slack; but what is the use of whining
about that. Pessimism iloes -not improve matter, while optimism will aid
digestion.
Premier Boss of Ontario, says the
Ottawa Fret- Press, a leading Grit organ, stands discredited in the eves of
the people. There has been no doubt
pu that score for some timo past.
Andrew Pattullo, Liberal member
for North Oxford in the Ontario legislature) suicided in London, Eng., last
week. Tin* fates aro truly against
Premier Ross, as his majority has
^dwindled to a whisper.
It looks as if the much-vaunted Provincial Mining Association had about
run its race. The const organizations
are manifesting much dissatisfaction
und there is a lack of interest iu all
sections. The expense account.wliicli
is excessively high, i.s the cause.
Many Conservatives will learn with
regret that Sir Hibbert Tupper has
declined all nominations for the Dominion house, either from the east or
west. He is not averse, however, to
participating in British Columbia local politics, provided the party deems
his services necessary.
It has beeu decided by the executive
committee of the provincial Conservative association to hold a general convention at Victoria next month. Arrangements will lx* made for the
prosecution of a vigorous campaign
for the approaching Dominion elections, candidates being nominated in
each electoral ilistrict. Conservatives
are determined to win.
(ight and the utmost confidence is felt
in tho outcome. W. A. Galliher, M.
P., will probably l>e the Liberal nom
Inee, and it is felt certain the Socialists will also nominate a candidate.
In that event the latter would cut in
on the Liberal vote, making the Conservative chances all the brighter.
With a strong candidate and a progressive policy, the Conservatives
should win in a gallop.
It is no mere idle platitude to say
that Kootenaj will suffer a great loss
when John Houston leaves Nelson,
which event wi'l shortly happen.
John has boen the most forceful character in public life in southern Koote-
nny since the earliest days, and lias
always had a good woitl to say for the
country, in season aud out of season.
Nelson has, in particular, felt the
power of his Influence, and that city's
proud position today is largely owing
to his support and care. John has
made scores of enemies, but lie has
made more friends, particularly willi
those who wear the jeans. At this
time, however, all classes are willing
to pay tribute to his genius, ability
and determination, and sincere regret
is felt at Ids contemplated departure.
Tis the irony of fate, too, that the
man is leaving his town and the country lie helped to make mighty poor;
and. the more so. that he should have
to go out iii (lie world at llis age to
earn a livelihood, Others have waxed
rich through .lohn,but not be himself.
Nelson will lose a staunch friend,
Kootenay a consistent .supporter, and
British Columbia a loyal citizen.
(i.mmI luck to you, John,wherever you
go.	
The Conservative convention at Nelson on Wednesday wns till Hint nny
party enthusiast mighl expect, there
being a splendid attendance of dele
gatesfrotn all parts of the Kootenay
riding and the enthusiasm was intense,
the feeling prevailing that victory
would rest with tlie cause at the ap-
proaching Dominion elections. Hon.
Charles Mackintosh, of Rossland, was
the popular choice for nominee, and
he will prove acceptable to every Cun
servative in (he riding.    His past lag
islative experience and his general
popularity make him a particularly
strong candidate, tlie Liberals tliem
selves admitting that  tliey have their
work cut out t.i defeat him.   Ft now
ii'inains for the party followers lo perfect their organization throughout the
electoral district, and get every vet.
under control.    The  Conservatives
have   the   advantage   iu the coiniug
