Loading- Business Men and Property Owners Express Opinions---A Large Majority- Favors Incorporation. Whether Lo incorporate of noL Lo incorporate is llio burning question a L Nolson. The time has arrived wlion Lhe people of Nolson should have passable streets iintl sidewalks, a good system of sewerage, and un adeqaLe wator.*upply i'or fire purposes. These iniprovtsnienls oa.niioL be had as long as llio purse-strings are hold by lhe provincial government, and Lhe railroad company. T. 10 railroad company, very naturally, is noL disposed lo expend more money al Nelson than il would have lo pay in Laxes if its properly was assessable, and Lhe 'provincial government would be deafened hy the howl llial would go up lVom oLlior section, of West Ivool- eiifiy if any largo expendiliu es were made al N0I.011 for lown improve!nonls. .Vs a mailer of fact. Nelson will con- t ribulo this year over $.100') to the provincial Ireasury. of which loss limn $2000 will ho rel.ni'iit'd in the way of appropriations lhal should be charged against the lown ilsoll. Apart from tin.1.appropriations for the maintenance of the public school and the one for llie lire department (about .1.100 in all), less than ...100 has been expended this year on streets in the Lown or on roads leading from the town. Of course people in other portions of the district will say. "Why. thousand, of dollars were expended ou your new court-house and thousands more appropriated for the maintenance of (he hospital and for llie payment ol" the salaries of officials who liveal Nolson." But the new court-house was built no more for the people of Nelson than for the people of the en ire district, and if Nelson was incorporated tomorrow c\ery oflicial now drawing a salary hero would still he maintained in oilice at provincial expense. So with the hospital: it is a district, not a local institution. That t lie expense of government would be greater under incorporation is not disputed: but the average man is never unwilling to pay the piper if In: has a chance to dance. As it is now. the Nelson man pays t he piper and i. noiallowed todance. Tli_ Tiiilii'M'* has been at some trouble to gel the following expressions of opinion from men who cannot, be accused of being lacking in cither "brains"' or public spirit: I believe we can manage our own affaiis belter than the government can for ns, therefore I favor incorporation. We have been paying thousands of dollars in taxes and getting onlya few dollars back in the way of expenditures for street improvements; and what makes it more galling. we get the few dollars so grudgingly that it seems if we wore poor devils to whom charity was being dispensed. .A. II. Ci.k.mk.nts. hotelkeeper: I favor incorporation. If the assessment roll means anything, it means that next year we will pay a whole lot of money into tho piovincial treasury, for which, judging by the past, we will get little benefit, liven if ii does cost more under incorporation than under the present system, the men who pay the increased taxation will not grumble, for thoy will see to it that the money is spent in a way tluit will benelit. th _ <town. John Joiin.sox, holclkeopor: "Well. I would like to know something about the matter before I answer your question. According to the statements made in TilK Ti'iHi'.vi'" last summer, incorporation would boa detriment instead of a benelit: but the other day I heard something that makes mo believe that incorporation would be a good thing. Therefore, you ca.n put mo down as being in favor of in- corpora.tion. Anyway, 1 am against the present government. A. A. Maui... hotelkeeper: I favor incorporation for the reason that we now pay for something that we do not get. tliat is, police protection. If a policeman is wanted one can only be found down at the government buildings, neither of HAD IT SI3BD UP ARIGHT. (I. W. IiIciiai .)sn.v. real estate: L'udo- cided. R. K.

RiTcim-:. surveyor: I favor incorporation, and I will try and get my friend Richardson to the same way of thinking. John II. .Mat ii.so.v. barber: Our present government is not at. all satisfactory, and I will sign the petition praying for incorporation. Ja.mks A. Gii.k _u. merchant: I am opposed to incorporation, for I really think we a re better the way we are. Kaslo has not been benefitted by incorporation, has it? . . . . Dvscas M(.'l)oxAt.i). carpenter and builder: 1 have not given the question any thought, but if by incorporation we can govern ourselves without increasing taxation I favor it. Chaki.k.s Vax Nks,., hotelkeeper: The only reason I fa vor incorporation is that we would, if incorporated, have police protection, or know the reason why. A.s it is now we have no such protection and we can't find out why we haven't. "Thomas _1ai>!)_.\'. hotelkeeper: I favor incorporation, foi'then we might be able to get'sowers and other improvements that we need, and which we cannot get now. or if we do get them they arc so poorly built that thoy arc as good as none. Joii'x Avto.v C'lliso.v, druggist: Cot incorporated, hy all means, if for no other reason than I'or the privilege of being our own bosses. The men who boss us under the present; status are not in sympathy with either the people or a government of the neople. Dr. F. C. AlfTilt'U: Last winter I at first opposed incorporation, but after attending the meetings called to discuss the question I came to the conclusion that it would be the best thing I'or the town, and since then I have had no reason to change my mind. I will do what, I can to bring incorporation about. Joll.v A. TfltxKit, bookkeeper: I am strongly in favor of incorporation, mainly for the reason that the men who manage our local affairs are not iu touch with llie people of the town. Another reason is that needed street improvements are now made at the expense of the few. and not at the expense of all tin; property-owners. \V. I . Tkkt/.ki.. druggist: I certainly favor incorporation, j >aid and i the benefit of our own money, but we could make non-resident property owners contribute soinet hing towards ma king improvements the cost of which is now borne entirely by residents. KnwAiio Aim ..ktiiwaitk. insiiraiiceand financial agent: If incorporation is the only way by which the town can manage its own affairs. I think wo should have it; but whether it would bo a good thing financially.. I hardly know. "Vernon is said Lo be in a bad hole, and it would not be a good thing to get Nelson in a like sil un I ion. If the majority favor incorporation, I will not stand in the way. Gkoiujk AnTiil'��!{ Bi<;i;i.nv, merchant: The money that is now in taxes is expended elsewhere, f incorporated we would nolonlyget the two over appearing except' when la. ing mail to or from the postoffice. The improvements, too. that are made are not such as would be made if the people of the town controlled their own a Hairs; thoy are made too often with the apparent; object of benefiting the railroad company's vacant lots, and not the town at largo. \V. .L Wilson, meat market owner: I am in fa vor of incorporation, for at present a. few of us have to pay more than our share of tho expenses incident to keeping things running. As an instance: I am one of a committee Lhat is expected to go around aud solicit money to pay for the new hos .-cart and hose at tho depot. It i.s a disagreeable job, as I know that money can only be got from the few who have paid nine-tenths of tho money that litis boon raised heretofore for like purpose--. If incorporated such expenses would be paid "out of money raised by taxation. Mauoi.I) K_i,<��{.-_. real estate: That I favored incorporation last winter i.s evidenced by the fact that I went to tho trouble and expense of registering my property; that I favor it now is a question. From all reports, the small towns Lhat secured incorporation this summer wish they hadn't, and one or two of them are making a moss of their affairs. Nolson is not in a good position���not in a.s good a position as Kaslo even���to incorporate, as more than one-hall' of the real estate within the proposed boundaries of the "city" is not taxable, being owned bv the crown and the railroad conipany. It is doubtful even if we were incorporated that there would not be just as much jangling as at present, for, taking the board of directors of the hospital as a sample, it seems impossible to get seven or eight men together at one time, and if they do.get together they are never able to agree on anything feasible. The expense of running a city government would eat up four-fifths of the expected revenue, and the other one-lifth would not go far in making the improvements that we now imagine we should have. I would favor incorporation, say in IS!)., but even now! would not stand in the way if the remainder of my fellow-citizens want it real bad. To tiik I_niToi{ of Tti_ Tuiur.vi'*: Your telephone message received on the eve of my going on a. hunting trip that will last several days, and I cannot give the question the attention that it deserves, but the more I think about incorporation, the more firmly I am impressed with the idea. To my mind the only question is the election of the right kind of officers, officers that will keep within their means, and for the first few years go careful. As everyone i.s aware, the first years are the trying ones to incorporated cities, for largo expenditures must be made on streets, sidewalks, and sewers, and for town buildings, lights, etc. Without being able to verify the figures, I understand over $7)000 will lie collected this year from the town of Nelson in taxes and licenses, and what has the town got in return? A large amount of property i.s held by non-residents, who are very careful to make no expenditures that will help the town along, but. instead, tire very willing to let resident property-owners bear the bunion, doubtless saying to themselves, "what fools those mortals in Nelson be." There is not a business man in Nelson who does not pay out each year for town improvements five times the amount of the taxes assessed against him. If incorporated, I cannot see why our taxes should be so, much greater than at present, and the money collected would be spent in Nelson and not sent to Victoria, there to be used in building' a .('(>(),- 000 palace for government officials. As a large property-owner I am glad that a move is being made in- this incorporation matter, and 1 will assist in every way I can to help the good work along. Today 1 was notified that our insurance rales would he raised at once from $8.07) to$1.7... There is a large amount of insurance money sent from Nelson each year, which if invested in first-class water-works might tend to reduce the outrageously high rates i'or insurance. December Nth. A. Fj<_i> Hi;mk. The Canadian Pacific Again Asking for Favors From the Government. Tiik Titnu;xio was tho only paper in the country that sized up the Winnipeg election aright.; itsiged it up as directly the result of the action of the managers of the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pa.ny. who were after something and wanted to show the Thompson government what was in store I'or il if the want was not granted. The report now comes from Ottawa that the Canadian Pacific railway is approaching the Dominion government with a view of getting an act put through parliament next session guaranteeing debenture stock of the company Lo the extent of $1 .,000.000 at -I per cent. A political friend of the government, and one well posted in railway circles, stated that a move has been made iu tliat direction. The matter has not so far been laid before tho cabinrl. butsome of the ministers 'are sa '.. to have been made acquainted with Lhe desires of the Canadian Pacific. It wiil be remembered thatan act was passed last session of parliament authorizing the company to issue preferred stock to the extent of one-half of its ordinary stock. This practically gave the compauv power to issue and sell $..2..()(",<)()0 of preferred stock, as its outstanding shares amounted Lo .(>..(_)().(__). This power wa.s given Lhe company by its original charter, but was suspended by an act subsequently passed authorizing the government to loan the company $30,- 000,000 to prevent the company from creating a lien on its road, which would ta.kc precedence of the mortgage taken by l he government lo secure its loan. It i.s now stated that the company is. therefore, said to be iu want of money, and if the government should consent to guarantee their bonds Lo the extent of $lo,G()(),000 there would be no difficulty in disposing of the preferred stock and enough of capital would in this way be obtained Lo meet the necessary payment of dividends and otlier urgent obligations. Freight Rates. The Northern Pacific has made the following rates on freight from Winnipeg to Nelson: Carload lots ��� first class. $_...('; second class. $2.27; third class. $2.17: fourth class, $1.1)1.

A Telegraphic Connection That is "Poorly." The annual ball and banquet of the St. Andrew's Society of .Montreal, on the night of November 30th, was a swell affair, the governor-general and lady Aberdeen being present. Among the fraternal greetings received was one from Nelson, which read : "Our first direct telegraphic connection with Canadian Pacific system completed today, anil friends in south Kootenay greet their brother Scots iu Montreal, and wish them a bonny time the tiicht. The duels here drink your healths in memory of Auld Scotia.'" The transmission of that message was too much for the "direct telegraphic-connection," for tiie connection has been "poorly" ever since. The Number One Concentrator. Wallace (Idaho) .Minor. 0th : " Wednesday morning Otto Abeling of Burke left for Ainsworth, British Columbia-, whore he has an engagement to superintend the construction of a .10-ton concentrator on the Number One mine near that place. .Mr. Abeling- erected the first concentrator on Canyon .creek that of the Tiger and he has been mill superintendent there almost continuously since. He will now have tin." honor of putting up the first, ore- dressing mill iu the Kootenay country. There' were no fewer than eight applicants I'or this position, and the selection of .Mr. Abeling is proof of the estimation in whicli his services are held. It is intended to have the mill completed in sixty days." What a Farce. What a farce wa.s all the doings and sayings of the Winnipeg politicians regarding the charges made of corrupt practices at the polls during llic recent election in that cily. Chamberlain, the man arrested for personation, was released on bonds of $2.10 and has skipped across the line to North Dakota. The libel suit, commenced hy ineinber-of-parliaiiient Boss against editor Bichardson has been dismissed, and the politicians are happy ami will at the first chance be guilty of like corrupt practices--practices thai are rapidly making popoular government a screaming farce. A Postoilice at the Boundary Line. According to the Bonner's Kerry Herald, a postoffice has been established at Lhe boundary lint!, within a stone's throw of I.ykerl's custom-house, by the I'nitrd Stales postoffice department. The post- office is named "Ockonook," which the Herald characterizes as heathenish and savage when a tony and dignified name could have so easily been selected. That democratic war-horse, major J. I. Barnes, has been appointed poslniasler. A Canadian Pacific Engineej- Talks of the Crow's Nest Pass. Hugh 1). Linnsden of Toronto, who has had charge of one of the Canadian Pacific parties .surveying for the Crow's Nest Pass railroad, has returned lo .Montreal, his work' for this season being completed. .Mr. Linnsden is a distinguished railway engineer in the service of the Canadian Pacific in the Northwest, and during the present year,/1 as been chief engineer on constructioY. ��� ./ lhe Soo Pacific from Moose Jaw to the I"nilod States boundary. rJ'he object of the Crow's Nest pass survey, he said, is to find a satisfactory line from (he Crow's Nest pass weslwar ri through lhe Kootenay silver mining country Lo lhe main line of the Canadian Pacific at some point west of the Hookies. The Canadian Pacific now controls what wa.s popularly known a.s the (Jalt railway, running from Duumore to the coal mining town of Lethbridge; it also owns the lino extending from Calgary to . Iacleod, wliich runs about a.s far to the southward a.s the Call road. In British Columbia it has a water and rail route extending from Hevelstoke Lo Nolson: and other mineral roads running south from the main line are projected. The proposed new line through the mountains by the Crow's Nest pass will leave the main line at J)iinniore: follow the Gall line to Loth- bridge: cross lhe conn try from Lethbridge to .Madeod, a link of about twenty miles to bo here built: enter the mountains to the Crow's Nest pass, and roach Nelson and otlier British Columbia points by the most available route. The development ol the silver region of British Columbia under the proposed now tariff in the I'nited States, which admits Canadian galena ore free of duty, will, no doubt, be very groat: and as the United Suites lines into British Columbia are already bidding for this mineral traffic, the Canadian Pacific may be expected to "get a hustle on" and proceed with ils Crows NesL pass road as early as possible in the spring. Some thirty or forty miles of the road between .Macleod and tiie pass are already graded. The snows in early November brought the work of the surveying parties in the Koolenay country to a sland-slill, and Air. Lumsden states that they wore then withdrawn i'or the winter. With the securing of the Crow's Nest pass the Canadian Pacilic has practically got control of all the passes through the Rocky mountains in Canadian territory: as Lhe northern terminus of the Calgary ��_ Fdmonlon railway, whicli they are operating, is opposite to and controls (he Veliowhoad pass, the only available pass LhaL is noL already occupied. Another "Expert" School. The Victoria Colonist says: "The School of Mining. Ialoiy established in Kingston. Ontaria. is likely Lo prove a most useful institution. When it was found that Ontario possessed valuable mineral resources it was considered wise to have a number of tho young men of the province educated in such a way that they would know how- to make those resources available. The School of .Mining was established to e fleet that purpose, This school gives the degree of -M. F. Its course of lectures commences, on the 0th of January. The student who attends those lectures will obtain instruction in chemistry, mineralogy, geology, lithology. the discovery and mining of ores, blow-pipe ana'ysis, assaying, and the rudiments of mechanical drawing. It is easy to see how valuable such a course of instruction will be to any bright, intelligent young man who wishes to go into mining as ;i business. The fees for the course are small, being only $10: there are also minor fees I'or the use of laboratories, etc., but thoy will not exceed eight dollars in,all. We do not knuw whether or not the Ontario School of.Mines i.s open Lo students from otlier provinces, but if it is. it- affords British Columbians an opportunity of getting a. knowledge of milling and minerals that will be invaluable. Such a school should be established in this province ns soon ns possible;, bill, iu the meantime, intending miners should, if it is possible, avail themselves of advantages olTered by t he Ontario institution." | Instead,-in ten ding miners should lirst of all seek work in a mine lor a year or two: (hen if the work agree- wilh I hem and they are adapted I'or I he trade of mining, a course at a mining school will not be hurtful. Otherwise, the young men who attend (Ik; "School of .Mining" at Kingston will graduate; with thai knowledge which makes them so helpless when anything practical is required of I hem. There; < are too many "experts" in the milling bus- j iness now. Kuitoh Titli't'NK. | j yourself? The following are the figures by settlements: Cache Creek, 007: Douglas Lake, 303: Grand Prairie, ''20: Hope, 771: Kamloops. 1.127: Lower Kootenay. 1220: Upper Kootenay, 218.1; Lytton.

The Steam Tug Kaslo Driven Ashore Near the Town of ICaslo. The steam tug Kaslo was wrecked at. Kaslo on Tuesday forenoon during a storm. The tug had been eiigaged to tow a barge- load of horses up to Lardo, and a start was made about 10 o'clock with the barge lashed alongside. When out a short distance it was found that the tug could not be handled, anil the barge was dropped astern. Before going I'ar, however, the tow line parted, and the barge wa.s being rapidly driven ashore by the waves. Then an attempt was made to get another lino to the barge, but before it could be done the parted line got caught on the propeller, and was wound round so rapidly that steam had to be shut off. By this time both tug and barge wore dangerously near the rocks at Lhe sampling-works point. As the wind was blowing from the south, an effort was made to pole the tug around to the north of the point, but the effort ended in failure ami the lug went on the rocks. In the afternoon the steamer Nelson offered to tow her off, but the tug's owners were fearful that she would sink as they believed the hull had been stove in. The storm continued all that day and the next night, and now it is thought the lug is a total loss, as her smokestack and pilothouse have both disappeared. The Kaslo wa.s owned by J. K. Buchanan and Robert Vuill. who were both aboard at the time she was wrecked. She was built iu 1802 at a cost of $S0()(). the machinery being from tho John Doty works in Toronto. The storm is said to have been one of the worst ever witnessed on Kootenav lake. MINING OPERATIONS IN SLOCAN. THE OUTPUT THAN OF ORE IS EVER BEFORE. LARGER The Nelson & Fort Sheppard. Ceorge A. Keofer. one of the best knowu engineers in lhe province, has been appointed by the provincial government to inspect the Nolson ��... Fort Sheppard railway, and is now out on the line. If his report is a favorable one, train service i.s likely to begin on Tuesday, the 10th. and if it begins then trains will leave Spokane for Nelson al 7a. m. on Tuesdays and Fri- days. and leave Nelson for Spokane at 7 a. m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The rates on freight are not given out as yet. but it is understood the rates will be .1 cents a hundred less than the present rates on all classes. Tho road will do a paying business from the start, as travel has always boon good between lake points and Spokane, anil the indications are that -.the tonnage of ore from the mines in Slocan, Ainsworth, and Nelson districts "will be well up in the thousands during the winter. The inward freight, Loo,Will he large, as few 'merchants carry enough goods to last until navigation opens iu Lhe. spring. A Movement That Has Something- in it. .Mr. Fdiiuind I.. Sheppard. the clever editor of the Toronto Saturday Night, thus lofers to the late 'Winnipeg election: The election of " Fighting Joe .Martin" iu 'Winnipeg is the most conspicuous Cirit triumph that has boon achieved since Alexander .Mackenzie was premier. It means that the Protestant-Tariff Reform movement has something in it. It means that, the men in the dominion cabinet are not liked and their methods are unpopular. It means a Crit delegation from the West, at the next dominion election, headed by t he strongest, lieutenant, thai Laurier could have. It moans lhat .Meredith having been kept out of place in the dominion government, thai Ontario Protest,'in ism will be in revolt. It means i hat sir John Thompson's idea of dilly-dallying with lieutenant.-governorships is a mistake, and coupled wilh lhe .Mod'roovy- Coiinolly convictions, that there is a popular notion that the government, more or less, should be in jail.

One never hears of Canadian girls leading unhappy lives after marriage, for they have the good sense to take for husbands only natives of Canada or of t he great Republic. %��� �� : _*'.: *�� ywmmmmmmmmmmmmm&mmw ___!_____JIH___t____��^^ 2 THE:.TfelBUlNTE:'MLS01f;'.B;C^ THURSDAY, I) KCHMBNtt .

Nor has ilany animus regarding premier Davie, other than the desire lo see him administer the government in the interest of the whole people and not in Llio interest Of the iew spoilsmen. It would rather see him tit the head of the government than a man like the chief owner of the Vancouver World, for instance. SUB-CONTRACTING. ���ENTIRELY ASTRAY." Tu. N|.;i.son Tkiucnk of November 2,'ird contains an article which is in ninny respects misleading. The motive of as well as the animus displayed hy the paper in 'question can easily be 'divined.-I. it. if is difficult lo understand how it publishes asa stateinontof truth what is the very reverse. ICtlte writer drew upon his own imagination then it must be extremely fertile: if upon information supplied by disappointed contractors or other hore-heads. then the stuffing process was freely indulged' in. The government in tho first place .is iioflmilding the road. All that if is doing is to carry out the views of the legislature, which wore to the oU'eet that the province would, on conditions sp.cilied m the Act. guarantee the interest on the debentures or bonds of the line, at the rate of l per cent per annum unto but not to exceed the sum of Si .000 per mile, whicli was to .construct, equip and main tain the road for the term of twenty-live years. The dominion government, prior to the passage of the provincial Act, had agreed to extend the statutory subsidy of ��.'1200 per mile to tho Nakusp & Slocan railway, and before a solitary cent is paid'over, the road, as regards grades, curve's, alignments, and general .'construction,, must comply witli the tonus and conditions of the dominion Railway Act. The provincialgovernnieiil having guaranteed the bonds, as already stilled, and in order to protect the public interests in the matter, has for a cime, so we understand, been assigned all and every interest wliich the Xaknsp & Sloean Kail way Company may have in the federal subsidy, which will bo surrendered when the line is completed. This is the only financing llie gov-' eminent i.s doing for the undertaking, wliich is to be of .such immense importance, not. only to Kootenay, but to the whole province. The Xaknsp _ Slocan road is being built upon generally the siiine lines as was the (.inswap & Okanogan, iind leased to the Canadian Pacilic Railway Conipany . for a term of years upon terms identically the same. Till-: Timhcnk's greatest blunder, however, is in the paragraph relating lo the cost of construct ion. It will bo observed that the .limit of the government's'guarantee is ifA'i.lli. per mile. The preliminaries, having been arranged I'or making it start, tenders were advertised for and ninny responses made thereto. If we mistake not, lhe lowest bid was accepted. It was that of the Inland Development & Con-' struclion Coini any, I'or which D. McCillivray is manager, and under wbose superintendence the work is now being prosecuted. The price will not approach that named bv our contemporary . -.''.liUO'per mile) hy at least So'OO. ut least so we are informed by parties who are in a position lo know whereof they speak. The length of the line is placed at thirtv-oight, miles, and the total cost given at .$(_(UIOO. not.?! .O.Uiill as .stated by Tut: Tuiitc.vi:. Jt likewise makes a great ado over the price's paid to subcontractors for the work tliey are doing. These .are mat-, tors with which the public have nothing to do. Tho lowest tenderer in the lirst instance wa.s awarded llio .job. and deposited securities that the work would bo completed in accordance with lhe plans and spccilications prepared by the company's engineers and within the time specified. Whatever arrangements lie made with sub-contractors is a matter resting with themselves. One thing i.s certain, that, upon the work, the manager for tho construction company expects to earn a fair dividend. This we think Tiik Tkiucvk will agree is in no.way wrong nor in any degree selllsh. It is exactly the principle upon whicli the proprietors of that paper manage their own business. The base insinuation I lint, at least Al) per cent was to be cleared on the job and divided among a certain ring is cowardly. Mat! Tin-: Timu.iJ: taken the trouble to ascertain the facts in coiineclion with the matter it would have written in an entirely diil.rcnl strain. Kverything iu connection wilh tho undertaking will be laid before, the legislature and published, ami then it will be found that to tne slightest, details nothing was done other than above-hoard ami in a most conscientious manner Tiie above is from the Vancouver World of the 1st instant. That it refutes any of the statements made liy Tun Titim'x_ is not apparent. Of course it is an attempt, but a very weak one. to discredit Tilt: Tl'ini'Xtt'H statements, which wore, lirst, that the building of Lhe Nakusp cV Slocan railway was a profitable venture I'or the Inland Development ��.V. Construction Company, however unprofitable il might, be to fhe .sub-contractors and Lin; men who woi ked for them: second, that the province had loaned its credit to enable the builders of the Nakusp ��V Slocan railway to clean up , :. Ml.t'i'o. and thai Lo insure the clean up legisla lion would be passed Lo make llic province liable I'or the principal of the bonds as well as the interest. That tho first statement, is true must, be admitted. I'or does not. The World say: '���One thing is certain, lhat. upon the " work, the manager for Lhe construction "conipany expects to earn a fair divi- " dend." That the second is also true will be admitted "when everything in coniiec- " tion with the undertaking is laid before " the legislature," for then it will be shown that the bonds for which the provincial guarantee of I |��er cent was obtained wore disposed of al a price just sufficient Lo pay I'or the building of the road, whether tho cost of the building be $17,000 or .i'-.OOOn'mile. It mailers little whether all the prolits go into the i roasury of tho Inland Development ��v Construction Company or all into the pockets of the men who tire doing the financing for the Nakusp 6c Slocan lltiilway Conipany, for even The World must know lhat both 1 An English paper says: "One of the ������ greatesl defects of Iheexisling l.mploy- ������ ors' Liability Act is that frequently the ���' workman finds himself without remedy, " owing to the system knowu as sub- '" contracting.

Asquith promised "to propose tit tt litter stage an amenil- " nieiit whicli ho'.'.hoped would meet the ".justice of the case." The question is one whicli should be considered at the next session of the legislative assembly of .British Columbia, for the way in which sub-contractors tire robbed by the builders of railways in this province is almost incredible. The word "robbed" is hero used in its'broadest sense. The.sub-contractors are robbed by the engineers, who classify material in such a way that "solid rock" and "loose rock" and "boulders" jind'everything in fact moved is "earth.'" The workmen iire. in turn, robbed by being compelled to tic- cept - time-checks in lieu of money, the time-checks being discounted when presented, tind sometimes repudiated altogether when presented by a merchant foolish enough to cash theiii. But tluit .anything will be done to prevent such robberies in tin; future is doubtful.

"Ai'Ler the lirst few months." said my friend, "it is no more effort, for a man to be a saint than to be a sinner: ib becomes a mere matter of habit." "I know." I iiilerupted: "it is every whit as easy to spring out of bed the in- st/ttnl, you are (-died as to say 'all right." and turn over i'or just, another live minutes'snooze'- when you have got into the way of il-. It is no more trouble not lo swear than to swear��� -if you make it custom of it. Toast and waler is tis delicious as champagne-- when you have acquired the tasie for it. Things are .also jusl as easy. llio other way about. IL is a mere (ptestion of making your choice tiiid slicking lo it." He agreed wil li me. '"Now lake these cigars of mine." he said, pushing liis open case towards me. ������Thank you." 1 replied hurriedly: "I'm not smoking this ���passage." ������Don't be alarm, d." he .answered, "I meant merely as an argument. Now one of these would make you ill for a week." I admitted his premise. '���Yory well." he continued. "Now, I. a.s you know, smoke them till day long, and enjoy tlietn. Why'., Because 1 have got into the habit. Years ago, when I was a young man, I .smoked expensive Havanas. 1 found 1 was ruining myself. It wtts absolutely necessary that I should take to it cheaper weed. I was living in lielgium at the time, iind a friend showed me .these. I don't know what they are-���probably cabbage leaves 'soaked in guano- -they tasted to nie like.'that, sit .'first���but they were cheap; Haying them by the five hundred, they cost me three a penny. I determined tt. like them, and started with one a day. It wa.s terrible work. I admit: but sis I ssiid to myself, nothing could be ���worse than the Havanas themselves had been iu the beginning. Smoking i.s an acquired taste, and it must be as easy to learn to like one flavor sis smother. I persevered, sind i conquered. Before the year was over ! could think of them without loathing, sit the end of two 1 could smoke them without positive discomfort. Now I prefer then) to any other brand on the market. Indeed, a good cigar disagrees with niu.'' I suggested it might have been less painful to hsive given up smoking altogether.' "I did not think of it," he replied, "but a man who (loesii'Lsniokealwsiys seems to nie bad conipany. There is .something very sociable about smoke." He leant back stud puffed great clouds into lhe air, lilling.the small den with an odor suggestive of bilge water sind cemeteries. '���Then, again, ho resumed after a. pause, "lake my claret. No you don't like it:" (I had not spoken, but my face had evi1 deiitly betrayed me), "nobody does sit least uoone I ha veever met.

The silence now pervading everywhere frightened and disturbed him. .The plsico wsis no longer homo to him. Ho missed the broe. y morning insult, the long whill.- evenings' reproaches beside the dickering fire. At night he could not sleep. For hours lie would lie tossing restlessly, his ears siohing for the accustomed soothing flow of invective. ���"Ah,' ho would cry bitterly to himself, it is the old story; we never know the value of a. thing until we have lost it." ���'lie grew ill. The doctor dosed him with sleeping draughts in vain. At hist they told him bluntly that liis life depended upon his find ing si not her li el pma le able and willing Lo nag him to sleep. "There wore plenty of wives in the neighborhood of the type ho wsmted; but the uninsirried women were, of necessity, inexperienced, and his health wsis such that he could not afford Lhe time Lo train Lheni.

She wsis a cantankerous old woman, tind the wooing was ii hsirassiiig afl'air. but his heart was iu bis work', iind before six months were gone he had won her for his own. ���" She proved, however, but a poor substitute. The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak. She hsid neither that command his head sadly. Susan's flow of what a womsin know. I don't want to know. As you may _ remember it's fairly heady sind there's body in it." "I knew one man." he continued, "who had a regular .Mrs. Caudle for it wife. All day long she talked to him or sit him or of him. sind sit night he fell sisleep to the rising iind falling rhythm of what she thought about him. A I last she- died and his friends congrsi tula ted him. telling him 1,Ikib now he would enjoy peace.

"He would drop his paper and sib listening with a troubled, anxious expression. "'Are you there, dear"' ho would call out., sifter si while. '"Yes. I'm here: whore do you think I sun, you old fool.'she would gasp back, in sin exhausted voice. "llis face would brighten at the sound of her voice, '(io on dear," he would answer: 'I'm listening. 1 like to hear you talk." "But the poor woman was utterly pumped out, and hsid not so much as st snort left. "Then he would shake "No. she hasn't poor, deai words,' he would say; 'ah that was!' "AL night she would do her best, but it was it lame aud halting performance by comparison.

"Yes. dear." he would say, 'you were spesiking about .Jane, aud the wsiy I kept looking si t her during lunch."' '"It's extraordinary," concluded -my friend, lighting a fresh cigar, " whsit creatures of habit \vu are." "Yory." I replied. "I knew a man who told tall stories till when he told si true one nobody believed it." "Ah, thsib was st very sad case," said my frieud. "Speaking"of habit," said the unobtrusive man in the corner, "i can tell you a true story tluit I'll bet my bottom dollar you won't believe." "Hsiven't got a bottom dollar, bub I'll bob you half a sovereign I do," replied my friend who v,.is of st sporting turn. '-Who shsill be judge"'" "I'M.take your word for it,'-' said the unobtrusive man; tind started 'straightaway. "He wsis si.Iefferson nisin. this man I'm going to tell you of," he began. "Me was born in the town, .and-for -forty-seven years he. never slept it night outside of-it. lie was si most respectable man, a dry- salter from !)-tO'l, and a Presbyterian in his leisure moments, llesaid that a gootl life merely meant good habits.

For twenty yesirs he lived that life with never a variation. It worked into his system and became mechanical. The church clocks were set by him. He was used by the local astronomers to check the sun. "One day ii distant connection of his in Loudon, an Mast Indian merchant and sin ex-lord mayor, died, leaving him sole legatee and executor. The business was si complicated one and needed nisuiageniont. He determined to leave his son by his first wife, now a young nisin of 21. in charge sit .JelTerson. iind to establish himself with his second family in Kngland. and look after the Kast Indian business. " I le sob oub from JelTerson City on October the -lth iind arrived in Loudon on Lhe 17th. He hsid been ill during the whole of the voyage, and reached bhe furnished house he had hired in Bsiys- water somewhat of a wreck. A couple of days in bed, however, pulled him round, and, on the Wednesday evening, he an- nouneed his intention of going iuto the city the next day to see to his affairs. "On the Thursday morning heawoke at I o'clock. Mis wife told him she had not disturbed him. thinking the sleep would do him good, lie admitted that perhaps it had. Anyhow he felt very well and got up sind dressed himself. Me did not like the idea of beginning his first day by neglecting si religious duty sind. his wife sigreeing with him. they sissembled the servants sind the children in the dining room and hsid family prayers at I :.'!(>. After which he break-lasted sind set off. reaching lhe city about.'" o'clock. "His reputation for piincbusiliby had proceeded him and surprise wsis everywhere expressed at his Lite arrival. He explained lhe circumstances, however, sind made his appointments for the following day to commence at 0:81).

He wa.s strsuigely unsettled sill the evening', he ssiid ho supposed he missed his game of whist, sind determined to look out for some quite respectable club without loss of time. Ab II he retired with his wife to bed, but could not sleep. He tossed sind burned sind burned and tossed, bub grow only more wstkeful and energetic. A litblo sifter midnight, an overpowering desire seized him to go and wish the children good-night. He slipped on a dressing gown and stole into the nursery. Ho did not intend it but the opening of the door awoke them sind he was glsul. He wrapped tliiim up in si quilt, sind sitting on the edge of the lied told lheni moral stories till I o'clock. "Then he kissed them good-night, bidding them be good and go Lo sleep; sind feeling painfully hungry, crept down stairs, where he made st hesirly mesil oil" cold beefsteak pie iind cucumber in the back kitchen. "lie returned to bed feeling more peaceful, yet sbill could not sleep: so Lay thinking about his business aliairs until ., when he dropped oil". "At 1 o'clock to the minute he awoke. His wife told him she had inside every en- dosivor to rouse him but in vain. The nisin was vexed sind irritstted. If he hsid nob been st very good man indeed I believe lie would hsive sworn. The same programme wsis repented as ou Thursday iind si gain he reached thecity ab 8. "This state of things went on for a month. The man fought sigsiinst himself but was unable to alter himself.

There wsis no time for exercise or recreation. When he began to fool cheerful and sociable everybody wsis asleep. "One day, by chance, the explanation came. His eldest daughter was preparing her home studies after dinner. '"What Lime is it now in New York?" she asked, looking up from her geography book. "'Now York," said her lather, glancing sit liis w .itch; "let niu see. It's just ton now. and there's a. little over four hours' difference. Oh, about .:'"() in the sifter- noon!' '"Then in .JelTerson,' said the mother, 'it would be still earlier, wouldn't it?" "'Yes,' replied the girl, examining the map. "Jefferson is nearly twenby degrees further west." "Twenty degrees." mused Llie father: sind there's four minutes in si degree. That would make it now, sib the present moment, in JelTerson-���' ..."He leaped, to his feet with si cry: '"I've got it,'he shouted; 'I see it.' '"See what?" asked his wife, alarmed. "'Why it's four o'clock in Jefferson, sind just time for my title. That's whsit I'm wanting.'

He saw the difficulties in his way. but they were less than those he was at present encountering. He wsis too formed'by habit to adapt himself to circumstances. Circumstances must adapt themselves to him. "lie lixed his office hours from .'3 to 10, leaving himself at'):'_). At 10 he mounted his horse and went foi' a cantor iu the row, and on very dark nights he carried a lantern. News of it got abrosid and crowds would assemble to see him ride past. "He dined at 1 o'clock in the morning and afterwards strolled down to his club. He had tried to discover a quiet, respectable club where the members were willing to play whist bill -I in the morning., but failing, hsid been compelled to join si small Soho gambling .hell, where they taught him poker. The place wsis occasionally raided by the police, but thanks to his respectable appearance, he generally mausiged to escape. "All:.'.' he returned home sind woke the fsimily up for evening prayers. At 7> he went to bed sind slept like ii top. "The city ehsifTed him and J'Jayswater shook its head over him. but that he did not mind.

When I pointed out how easy it wa.s for any burglar to break in and rob he was quite astonished. ���Shure. ye don't think thsib in Cork anybody does such a thing. We leave that business to you folk in Knglsind.' I was obliged to incur some considerable expense in effecting these repairs, and after a few months' experience found that (hey were unnecessary; and I may arid that (.luring my residence iu Cork, with si population approaching 100,000, the vstst majority of whom were poor sind living in dwellings scarcely affording any niesins of securing decent domestic habits, I never heard of st burglary being committed there.

I soon became possessed of the same feeling as my neighbors of the absolute security of life and property, sind thsib witliout the ordinary safeguards universally sulopted in England." most bigoted principles, or none at all.

Ferris Wheel Still Turns, livery car of the Kerris wheel is now provided with an oil stove. Tho drop of the thermometer and the chill winds from the lake induced the managers of the wheel to heat their ears. The comedy of the Kerris wheel is theonly sunusing tiling on the World's Fair grounds. With only workmen on the I'laissince sind not si passenger in sight, the wheel continues to turn. Ticket sellers sit in tho ticket booths, sind at regular intervals the great wheel stops smd guards open doors for imaginary passengers to enter. The doors are closed, the wheel stsirts, revolves twice, milking a regular trip, and then stops sigaiii to let off its inisiginsiry psis- sengersand let other phantoms on.'

THE TABLE is not Surpassed by any Other Hotel in the Kootenay Lake Country, Being- Supplied with the Best of Everything-. Was Uselul In His Way. The Portland Oregonisin ssiys Henry Villard litis gone bsiok to his nsttive town in (.loriiiiiny to spend the remainder oi his days. Xo doubt he lias si gresit fortune. and will live now at his ease, so far as one can : yet it, ni.'iy be doubted whether sal.is- fact.ion will attend his retirement, because possession is always more Last eless t.han pursuit, sind a wish is desirer a I w.-iys than a crown. Henry Villard has run, sis the world goes, a remarkable and successful csireer. The impress of his individuality is scarcely so great as tlisit made by llic csireer of IJen llollstday. though the results of his work wore inlinilely greater, lie wsis a f.'ir less iinsiginalive man, was more (���sircl'til smd less visionsiry, had clearer perceptions of mora I limitations, know hotter Education the Foe of Originality. Thearchbishop of Canterbury i.s gravely exercised in mind over the system of modern education. lie thinks that although things have improved ''asa result of the unmeasured prodigsility of modern education." there wsis, nevertheless, si deplorable lack of originality. Jf the effect of education, he said, wsis Lo damp originality, then educsition wsis not doing what it-ought to do. Tho idea of educsition developing and stimulating originality is simply preposterous. The nearer you get bsiek to the natural unlettered man, the more chsuiee there is of originality. .Modern educsition, which sets Lhe selfsame tasks to thousands and thoussuids of children, tends Lo depress or. rsii.se all the seholsirs to a general level. For proof of this take your West-end men smd West- end women of London. These favorites of fortune hsive presumably received the best educsition obtainable: yet they sire sill of them well-drilled, well-spoken, polished automata. 10very nisin of the class talks with exactly the same languid, affected drawl, stud the women tire sis alike in speech and manners as they are in the general outlines of their dress. Y^o hsive. to bo eduesited, of course, but only at Lhe cost of whsitever little originsility heaven may have endowed us with. Besides, the genius of the English tuition is opposed to originsility. Approximate to a ccrtsiiu stsmdsird of manners smd customs and follow your neighbor in till things. Thsit i.s the prescription which whosoever follows shall besocisilly saved. The Christian church lists been Lhe consistent foe of originality, in that it litis boon the bitter enemy of thought sind in- tellectusil life, without which there can he no originality. A Snobbish Expression. The growth of thsit snobbish practice of substituting ' "lady" for "woman" has called forth the contempt of nisiny sensible people, yet still the practice seems to grow. .Mr. I.abottohere. in London .'ruth, ssitiriy.es it in this merciless fsisbion: "A judge smd .jury last week 'decided that it is no libel to call one of the fair sex a womsin. although she may claini to be a "lady." We shsill next hear of a new edition of the I .ble. in which tin: word "lady" is substituted I'or "woman" wherever il/ is used, sind divines will roier to "the I. idy of Hsimarisi." This plan has indeed been sulopted by some of the Aincricsin clergy, to judge by sin exlrsict from si sermon prosiched there which I lately osuneaeross. "Who were first at the cross?" said the preacher, "Ladies." "Who were lirst sit the sepulchre? Ladies." Still, if f thought that it would plestseany pat l.ioiilsir womsin toesill her si lady or indeed an singel I should do so sit once. In Austrisi. whim I lived there.! yesirs sigo, it was lhe custom of everyone to address si waitress in a restaurant as "beauteous maiden." smd she replied 'when she got her tip. "I kiss your hand." although the insiideii wsis not always beautiful, nor was the hand kis��-d. All this sort of terms and expressions are coiiveiitionsil. As i.o whsit woman is si lady, opinions may differ: but I Ins genersil rule may be Isiid down that the woman who insists that, she must be called one is not si lady."

A Chapter of Incidents that Happened a Toad Mountain Miner. There is fi man now working-on Toad mountain who i.s highly respected by fill who know him. Jiis has been a life of accidents. Some of his experiences are tis follows: "I v. .is sliding on the crust when a boy. and slid over ft fence, running a stake into nie and makinga bad wound. Once,When my mother was making soap. I saw a dipper of what I thought was water find drank three swallows. It proved to be strong lye. 'My mother melted some tallow and gave it to me, find the doctors said that was all that saved my life. Four times I came near getting drowned, twice breaking through the ice into the river, once falling from a raft into the mill pond and once 1 fell out of a boat into tho river. 1 was nearly killed twice by being thrown from horses, fell from a loaded team to the fro/.en ground find was picked up for dead, and fell out of a wagon and had a leg caught between the spokes of one of the wheels. Once I was drivinga covered "wagon'when the stanchion boll came out. letting the body down. The rein hook caught nie in the forehead, tea ring a great, gasli. and when 1 fell out 1 struck my head on the axle. Twice I fell 12 I'eet from fistfigiug, once I felldown a trap in a carriage house on a pile of boards below and started a rib. I stepped on a scythe and cut my foot badly find a cake of ice fell on my foot and burst upon one of my toes. : cut my ankle very badly with an fixe, i broke a needle in my heel, whii-h ] wa.s not removed for two months, find stepped on a tenpeuiiy nail find drove it into my foot, making a bad wound, from which pieces oi the shoe find stocking were removed, and which had to be ('iit open and the bone scraped. 1 had fi windlass rope break when trussing up ft bucket, and it. broke out two of my ■ teeth. I have been blown up once when firing shots, and badly binned three times. My hand was caught, in the feed roll of ;i picker.

In the summer of I IttlJO had fi tree fail on me find I have not I recovered from the injuries yet." ! A Great Physician. The late sir Andrew Clark.'the great Loudon physician, was st i-ict.l\- economical of time. A little slip of paper in his dining room was a reflection of this. On it was written in his own hand words to the effect that his correspondence needing replies was at. least sixty letters a day. which, allotting ten niiiuit.es to the aus- ■wering of cfich, would consume ten hours.

Title | The Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1893-12-14 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
