NELSON: SATURDAY MORNING OCTOBER a J 900 PRICE FIVE; CENTS r A LEN&THY ORATORICAL FEAST Several Hundred Persons Gather at the Opera House to Hear Political Discussion. CONSERVATIVE, LIBERAL AND LABOR ADVOCATES SPEAK Several hundred people attended tlie Conservative mass meeting at the opera house last night and were entertained to a lengthy feast of oratory by home and foreign talent. The building was not nearly as full as has been the rule heretofore at local political meetings, but the audience was appreciative and the speakers were applauded whenever they waited for it. The meeting opened at S.30 and lasted till "after 11 o'clock. Very little time was lost in introducing the speakers, and if all the facts and arguments adduced struck home those present will certainly have added greatly to their stock of political lore. Mayor Goodevo of Rossland made the hit of the evening in a speech of an hour's duration. Ho proved to be.a fluent speaker with a ready knack of producing telling arguments against the Liberal administration. IX Al. Carley was not present to take the chair, and tho duties of the position were pleasantly discharged by .lohn Toye. In addi-, tion to the candidates and speakers, W. A. Macdonald, Chris Morrison, J. E. Amiable, John Elliot, John A. Irving and H. G. Neelands had seats on the platform. ��� Candidate MaeNeill started the speeehniaking. He- ; opened by informing his "aifdience 4 that on all- public questions" he -~*wnld be found strictly within the four corners of the Liberal-Conser-, vative platform. After .expressing the Opinion that there.jyas no.room, for;a thlrd'party in Dominion politics, this being his sole reference to the existence of the Labor candidate. Mr. MaeNeill devoted somo attention to the charge of broken pledges laid at the door of the Liberals. .This introduced the question of public expenditure, the tariff and the Chinese question. The rase of IT. IT. Cook and the senator- ship he wouldn't buy and corrupt administration iu the Yukon were touched on, Mr. MaeNeill then turning to redistribution and the imposition of' duties on lead products which the Conservatives were the ouly party who could consistently grant. In closing, the Conservative candidate argued that the Liberals were entitled to no credit for the era of "good times" during their regime, for the same wave of pros- perity had been felt in the United States and'EhglandT^while thlTEib- erals' measure of preferential trade with England had not had a good effect, for the trade returns showed that Canadian exports to England had increased on a smaller scale than the commerce to any of the other large markets. Chairman Toye called on candidate Galliher, expressing the hope that the audience would give him a good hearing. Tlie applause which greeted Mr. Galliher was sufficient to sot all doubts on the point at rest. The Liberal candidate apologized for appearing without having prepared a speech, but remarked that a good and worthy cause such as he advocated did not require much preparation. He could find nothing Jn Mr. MacNeill's address to show why any voter should cast a ballot for the Conservative candidate, and thought most - of his hearers would agree on this point. (Applause.) One of his opponent's points was that the Liberals deserved defeat because they had ' failed to fulfil their/pledge to wipe out protection. Now the: Conservatives declared that such a step would ruin the country totally, yet they asked the electorate to dismiss the Liberal Administration because theyj had not brought about; this ruin. {Laugnter.) The Liberals had increased the expenditure of the country, but the funds had been invested "wisely and would bring "McTc big returns. The revenue had increased and was constantly rolling tip, yet no charge had been brought that the money expended was not laid out honestly and wisely. On the prosperity topic candidate Galliher elicited a round of applause by admitting that the Liberals were not entitled to all the credit for tho "good times," but that they had the right men iu office to grapple with tlie situation aud navigate the wave of prosperity in such a manner as to land Canada in a foremost position among the nations. Another laugh was raised when Mr. Galliher started to discuss the Chinese question by referring to his opponent as "my learned friend." The quotation smacked so strongly of a court of law that the audience had a 'quiet laugh. He put himself on record as opposed to the Orientals tooth and nail aud pleged himself to do all in his power to stem and stamp out the tide of immigration across the Pacific. The Labor party came in for attention, the speaker drawing a doleful picture of j Mr. Foley sitting by himself in a corner of the house of commons mistrusted and:suspected by both of the old parties. This was common sense he asserted and a man who shouted "rats" from .the gallery was described as knowing nothing of the matter. If elected, Mr. Foley to exercise any influence would be forced'to affiliate" witli one or the other of the old parties and then his' independence would go to the winds. He asked the laboring men to compare the records of the two great parties now before them, aud to mark their ballots for the side which had evidenced a disposition toward granting legislation along the lines desired, by workingmeu. "I expect," concluded Mr. Galliher, "to get so .many;.yotes* when T have tiine"fcbVi>i'epare a'-reais jam up speech that .1 shall have easy sailing into the house of commons." James Wilks followed in the interests of candidate Foley, speaking for thirty-five minutes. He was surprised, he said, that the gentlemen who had preceded him had advanced no convincing reason why either of them should bo supported. So far as he could see tho two parties were about as one, the Liberals declaring for free trade, yet retaining the protective tariff practically as it stood, and the Liberal-Conservatives declaring for protection, with Hugh John Macdonald, the much vaunted new leader, promising the abolition of the tar- iff on agricultural implements in Brandon, and sir Charles Tupper assuring the'people of the east that all industries would be protected. "TKCTdistiuction existing-between Liberal and Conservative policies was about the same as the distinction between tweedlededee and tweedlededum. Both parties had toyed with the Chinese question and neither accomplished anything. The Independent Labor party now proposed to grapple with the problem by sending men to Ottawa who were pledged to devote their special attention to these matters and who were capable of fulfilling their pledges. Such a man was Mr. Foley, the candidate in this riding. (Applause.) One of the great issues from the Labor party's standpoint was the need of legislation to bring about compulsory arbitration. He didn't like the idea of compulsion and to justify such legislation it was necessary to take it for granted that laborers were unreasonable, which he admitted, and capitalists equally unreasonable, which he believed. An act which would force the respective parties to bring their complaints before a properly constituted tribunal, with the power -to make both adhere to any decision arrived at would be a boon. He wound up with an appeal to the voters on behalf of candidate Foley. Mayor Goodeve concluded the speeehniaking with a rattling address.- He attacked the legislation enacted and attempted by the Liberal convention, dwelt at length on the corruption in various eastern ridings and spent some time with the broken pledge question. The Yukon railway bill came up first and Mr. Goodeve, after detailing the tremendous concessions which the Mackenzie-Mann syndicate Would have secured under the proposed legislation told, how, the bill was thrown out by the senate. "If the much discussed senate never does anything else during the life of its members it has earned a right to existence by its action in throwing out the Yukon railroad bill," announced the speaker, and the same remark was made to apply to the Drnmmond county railway legislation. Coming to the matter-of corruption ' in elections Mr. Goodeve charged the Liberals with having stolen the suf- rerages of the people by stuffing ballot boxes, etc." He aroused the attention of candidate Galliher when starting to give figures from the West Elgin affair from manuscript. "Show us what you're reading from," demanded Mr. Galliher, and the demand was reiterated until Mr. Goodeve replied: "My notes." "Yes, his notes," interjected.candidate Galliher. facetiously. "I'll tell you all about it," said Mr. Goodeve, turning to the audience, "and then he'll be glad to take it all -back." "It will be the first time," was Mr. Galliher's retort, aud he stoutly refused to admit .the impeachment that "the burning of the ballot boxes was a Liberal dodge. Coming to the broken pledge matter, Mr. Goodeve said amid laughter: "Since Moses, coming down from Mount Sinai, ' found the people of Israel worshipping' the golden calf and flung down the tables of stone, thereby breaking all ten commandments, tlie re has never been such a record of broken pledges as that made by the' Liberal party." This line of thought .was followed up at some length, and, with other points briefly touched on, concluded his worship's excellent speech a'ndthe meeting.

RAILWAY AND STEAMBOAT SOME LARGE FREIGHT SHIPMENTS ON THE C. P. R. ^Tlie Storm ..of Last Week,the .W.orstjn Years on the Lake���The Kaslo - Still Tied Up The freight department of the C. P. It. in .the Kootenay and Boundary districts has just, made a new record. The returns for last week indicate that 10,200 tons of freight were' handled, making it the largest' week's business since the road was put in. The largest increase is'on the Boundary section where ore shipments are ,heavier than ever before. In this section, East Kootenay has had a large output, the St. Eugene being one of the principal factors. The Slocan shipments are also larger than ever before'ahd"there=is=a=probability'of still further growth in the immediate future. The Ivanhoe will enter the shipping list at an early date and the Arlington is to increase its output shortly. Building a Pontoon. The C. P. R. shipyard's crew is engaged in building a pontoon for the slip at Procter. It will be the first pontoon apparatus used at any of the interior ports, but the merit of the idea has been demonstrated at coast ports. Instead of building an apron of the description used on the Nelson and other slips, the track is laid on the pontoon, which roughly resembles a barge and can be floated to the position desired. By submerging a part or all of the craft the track is brought to the level of the barges and cars hauled with ease. The pontoon is intended to rest on the ground, which makes its use impossible in very deep water such as exists at Nakusp where the end of the slip is in 40 feet of water. Miscellaneous. The lake was calm yesterday morning for the first time since Sunday. The storm Avas the worst in years and seriously interfered with the towing of bargee, although the passenger service was run almost on time. The steamer Marion had to tie up on two different occasions at Balfour. The steamer Kaslo, recently added to the Kootenay Railway & Navigation Company's fleet, is still tied up in the bay at Kaslo. Her only business trip was one ruu with a load of ore to. Kootenay Landing. The marquis de Dusmot returned to. the Ghapleau mine yesterday after "transacting private business in the city. He>-s'tat"es that the tramway and mill; are; progressing steadily, and. that pre will probably be run through the'mill about November .15th. After waiting a few days to see that everything is running smoothly Messrs. de Dusmet and de Grarnniorit -will return to "Paris, France,' to lay' their report before the shareholders of the Chapleau company. In the, interim they will examine several ��� properties and secure.other, information regarding 'the district. Both expect to return'next summer, and if the Chapleau proves to be as good as they anticipate further investments will probably follow. j ����� Showing Up Well. T. G. Procter''has returned from East Kootenay after an inspection of the work done,on the Alice property. A large. ^reWv'is employed at the "present .time,.'considerable outside work, including the erection of cabins aud other buildings, being under way. He brought back several sacks of ore from the Alice. The product is silver-lead, with close to 00 per cent lead. The ledge is showing up welLand if the winter's work is as satisfactory as is expected, the company will consider the advisability of erecting a concentrator and train way on'the/property. The Alice' is so situated that the difference saved in the cost of handling the output by ;"means of meehanicalfaoilitiesris -in "-itself a handsome profit, so that beyond a" few trial shipments during the winter, no effort will.bejnado to market the ore until spring. Was a Oood Advertisment. W. H. Dowsing has returned from Spokane with the exhibit of Nelson district minerals.

Mr. Rochester could only continue the work at immiuentT' risk to the lives of his party, and J much as he regrets abandoning the work with the completion almost within reach he deemed it prudent to take no risks, but to return to Telegraph creek while he had the chance.

On his arrival Mr. Gharleson found a report from .7. Y. Rochester, who has charge of the work of construction south from Telegraph creek. Mr. Rochester states that the line is complete to a point approximately 167 miles northwest of Ilazelton and that owing to deep snow, severe weather aud the daily loss of animals he is compelled to suspend further work on the line for tlie winter. The line is completed from Picked up at London, October 26.���The British tank steamer Orange Prince, captain Richardson, which, passed Lizard Head today from Marcus Hook for Dover, reported she had on board two shipwrecked seamen from the American steamer Marshall L, who were picked up on October 10th, when the steamer was two days out, in latitude 40 north, longitude 69 west'. - There are"but' three American ships with names similar to that -which the Orange' Prince reports the men belonged to. ��� These are the Marshall L Adams of Provinceton,.

Jewett, formerly horseshoer in this city, ha9 - re- - turned from South Africa with a ��� dozen large diamonds and a mar- J vellous story. Jewett declares that! he found a pocket of diamonds the Drakenberg mountains in Cape-' Colony, more than a bushel of the' -precious stones in one pile, but- nearly all of them slipped from his! grasp while he'stood gazing on the5 untold wealth. Jewett left St. Joseph three years; ago and went to Chicago, where he: met a young man named Evans, whom he befriended. Evans died,; but before his death he gave Jewett; a map showing the location of a pocket of diamonds in South Africa. Jewett carried the map in his pocket for six months before he decided to hunt for the diamonds. j "After landing at Cape Town i! went at once into the country where the. map-showed the dia-! monds to be, but could find nothing: I suppose 1 must have travelled thousands and thousands of miles around Beaufort looking for the place, and at last was rewarded.

Is it any wonder that men, as they meet on the streets, in ominous tones ask each other "what next?" It is a sad commentary on our much-boasted civilization that such degenerates as John Houston and the editor of the Economist should be permitted to hatch their devilish conspiracies against a high-toned organ of public opinion, and against the peace of our sovereign lady the queen. The question which seems uppermost in the minds of the people, is, when and under what circumstances, was this black, malignant, malevo-. lent design incubated? Anyone, who is at all conversant with .the topography of Nelson and the surrounding country will at once comprehend its natural advantages for. concocting and disseminating conspiracies. The mountains, the lakes, the.lumber,yards, the, alleysJand' the back offices of printing- establishments, all seem to vie with one another .as. offering superior, attrac- hard most of these kind of- gin mill operators close up, beat their creditors and emigrate, while responsible hotel men with the proper kind of houses have to struggle along and hold -up people who cannot pay their board. The license commissioners in all parts of Kootenay should exercise more .judgiiieht in- granting licenses to sell boozerine. There is room for just so many hotels and no more. Fewer licenses should mean better service to tho public, and bettor liquor. As it is there is no restriction upon the adulteration of liquor. It is high time that fools and knaves were refused licenses, if the hotels of Kootenay are to be saved from sinking into mere dives for the sale of jiiu jam promoters and the robbing of men at cards when they cannot tell a deuce from a knter. .^K Pretty High Returns. ,/ Slocan-Drill.

The Rossland Miner is in sore distress. Its editor would like it to support the Liberal party, with whicli he has affiliated in the past; but the man in Montana has pulled the string, and the editor is silent. The Evening Miner of Nelson is not consistent. On Thursday it swore it was the only Conservative paper in all Yale-Cariboo. On Friday it was not the organ of any party or of any class. Tlie Miner was the organ of the mine owners, as long as they paid it a monthly stipend ; when the stipend stopped, the organ grinding stopped. Thie Miner was a self-proclaimed organ of the Conservative party until yesterday, When it found that there was no subsidy in sight, and it quit grinding out ; Conservative music.' What will it'be tomorrow? Tnrc boards of trade of Victoria and Vancouver are both striving to secure for their respective; .towns the location of the "projected Canadian mint.' The Canadian mint should be established at Ottawa, the capital of Canada. Instead of striving to secure something they are not entitled to, the boards of trade of the coast cities should be at work trying to get an assay office established at. some point on the coast in order to stop the gold that Is mined in the.[ goldfields of northern Canada from going to Seattle. An assay office is what is For my own part (but I may be a little fastidious in this regard), I prefer a law-office.* Now, as to the time when John Houston and the editor of the Economist unlawfully assembled.-What time more fitting than thehour of twelve!

The undertaking was simply a proposal to close up the Miner newspaper, and thus deprive the citizens of Nelson of- their inalienable right to read soul-stirring sea serpent stories and other thoughtful essays from the pen of the youthful philosophe*' who left his happy home in Minneapolis to edit the Nelson Miner.

The 'one industry on whicli the prosperity of this constituency'is almost wholly dependent is mining; ami we believe that our mining industries are as .fairly entitled to protection as the manufacturing industries of.Eastera Canada---..therefore, we advocate that the duties on lead =anrt=lead-produc��-ts=beMnereasedfSO-tlmt=they-shaH^ imposed by thefUnited States on the same articles. : ;- That the out put of the precious metal mines, is largely increasing, therefore we favior the establishment of a mint, so that'the specie in. circulation, shall beithat of our own instead of that of a foreign country. ; We advocate the restriction of the immigration of Chinese and.Jap-~ auese, and all classes who cannot become good citizens of the Dominion of Canada, and suggest the adoption of the principles, of the Natal Act. British Columbia has not now the representation in the federal parliament that she is entitled to: therefore we' advocate that when tlie redistribution of seats-is made that this constituency shall be given representation according to its population. . -������:������ . ������" .

Vancouver World. We have the best reason for be- 1 t-ving that there is a perfect nn- tl-rstanding between president Hill, ( f the Great Northern, and Alacken- y.i.s & Mann, who claim that the control of the charter of tho Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern railway i -i vested in them, as to the build- ing of the projected line in lower l'Yaser valley. .Mr. Hill's system in t,li<- interior enters Nelson and Kaslo and thereby taps the trade of Kootenay lake, the . Lardeau country and Whitewater valley to S.indon. By the Red Mountain railway the Great Northern competes at Rossland with the Canadian Pacific, as it does also at Nelson, Sandon and at New Westminster. Mr. Hill is most anxious to secure control of the Victoria traffic to and from the interior points wo have named. He likewise desiies an outlet in British Columbia for Eastern Canada, British and European freight and. passengers, as well as procuring a share of east- bound traffic. The only plan by which this can be accomplished is by utilizing the charter of the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern railway, or such portion thereof as will serve his purposes. It is quite within the probabilities that the Eraser valley division of the Great Northern will include the construction of a line to Chilliwack, and thereby secure control of an exceedingly, rich traffic-producing country on the south side of. the Eraser, from the coast to the Garden Valley City, traversing the municipalities,. 'of Delta, Surrey, Langley,- Matsqui, Sunios, -and Chiiliwack, in all of which the .settlers at certain seasons ~of the'Vear * are badly handicapped for want of. railway -or, other .transportation, facilities..- * The building of such a line as is now contemplated, as the World has-in by-gone years repeatedly pointed out, would afford a very deserving class of settlers relief in this respect. Not only this, but instead of the country being sparsely settled, as it now is, and there be- i ng thousands of acres of very desirable laud still in its virgin condition���but in many instances heavily timbered1���new settlers would tfo in, and .those now there would Lake f resh courage -and - make sub-, stantial improvements upon their holdings, knowing that in doing so, the producing capabilities thereof would be largely increased and accessible markets found therefor the year round, conditions which do not now exist. Of course the main object the people of Victoria have in view in this matter is to have transcon- -tinentaltrains-arrive-in-and-depart- i'rom their city; to draw the trade of the south side of the Praser river in the lower valley to their city, as well as secure a more direct connection With the great interior than they have at present. The cost for all this will not deter the lieople of Victoria from taking the plunge they arc about to do. It is 1 /with them, at the present juncture, any port in a storm, so eager are they for the entrance1 of another railway line into their city. But there is more than the building of the line, and the ferryp con- 1 nection we are referring to, in the scheme. It is no secret that the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Railway Company would not object to dispose of their interests in that cbri- cernj provided the consideration for so doing was satisfactory. The belief is that this, once: accomplished���and it is on the tapis, to do so���the Island railway would be extended to the upper end of- Vancouver Island, to a point at or near Cape Scott,'from which a superb, fast,' up-to-date line of : steamers would ply to and from Skagway and other northern-ports. The federal as well as the ^'provincial'''' gov-; ernniehts will be asked for heavy bonuses, in aid of the undertaking. Our esteemed . contemporary, the Victoria Colonist, has of late been urging the adoption of a "progres- ive policy" upon the government. Now,that the cat is out of the bag, ��� ili- is easily1 imderstqod why, the warning notes were sounded[so far in advance. As we havefrequently urged, the Island Of^Vancouver is a valuable one to the province.. Its capabilities are very great,; and - in ordefto make the most of "its "vast - THE BMK:01 MlTiSH CdLOTBIA NELSON Is now prepared to issue Drafts and 'Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B.

The accomplishment of this would reduce the time consumed in reaching either Skagway in the north, Vancouver, Victoria and other points in the south, by many hours, and assuredly would speedily become an exceedingly popular route. AN ELECTRIC GOVERNOR. , Edward Thunderbolt, a native of Melbourne, Australia, is in England, having perfected a patent electric governor. Soon after his arrival lie was fortunate in having his gov-' ernor brought under the notice of lord Kelvin, who took such great interest in it that Messrs. James White, who are so well known as the manufacturers of all lord Kelvin's inventions, took it up, and are at present having most extensive- trials made with it at their pre-- mises by Mr. Thunderbolt. - ��� There are two types of electric governors that Mr. Thunderbolt has designed, and they both act perfectly in controlling any desired uniform speed for any kind of stationary or electric engines or turbines notwithstanding the most violent variations of load, and they further have the power of entirely stopping the motors should any accident occur. The first type, which is actuated by the electric power of the circuit- is arranged to act directly on the throttle of the engine or turbine', and is suitable for engines up to 15 or 20 horse power. In the second type of governor a small air pump is required,-which exerts a pressure on a piston whicli is so arranged as to control the throttle or valve gear, the air pressure being regulated in a most ingenious manner by mechanism controlled by the -electric circuit. This type of governor is suitable for engines up to any size. "One of these gov-' ernors has been running for some time on the electric light engines at the general postoffice, Melbourne, and ono has also been recently fitted' with very marked success on'the large engines driving the electrical machinery'for generating the power for the Liverpool Overhead Railway. . The governor possesses very marked advantages over any other electrical governor, both from the point of efficiency and also as regards simplicity, and ease of work. It possesses two very sensitive elements acting in unison���namely, electricity and- compressed air. They.act simultaneously and automatically, when the load is increased Trr_decrertsedrby~turning~on���or_olf_ exactly the desired amount of steam or water required for working the engine or turbine at the correct speed, thus affecting a very great Baving in wearand .tear, more particularly-as regards lamps' s and fuel.-. ��� : Dawson is Booming. A writer from Dawson under date of October 4th thus summarizes the late news of the Klondike camp: The first sale of government fractions and claims closed yesterday. Pricesi were good, $20,000 being realized/ Announcement was made at the close of the sale that all the ground would be thrown., open for relocation in November, which was greeted with cheers and clapping by the large crowd present. Many miners were unable to be present .on account of .the quarantine at the Forks of Bonanza and Eldorado. Eldorado is 20 miles from. Dawson, Smallpox is epidemic there; also twelve cases on Isolation island, two miles below Dawson. An isolation hospital, is in course of.construction. No personal alarm is felt by the citizens of" Dawson, and there is some uneasiness lest Dawson be quarantined by the outside world. Half a million of golddust was, shipped up the river on the Yukoner on October 2nd. A total of twenty-five millions has been shipped out by both routes up' to date whicli closes the record of the output for this season. Alex. King, who murdered Davenport in July, was executed here yesterday. Business is very brisk.

One of E. J. Curran for a license at "Bogustown," which was not granted because of an informality in the application. The application was opposed by tlie tramway company because it is said the company wants . "to go into the retail liquor bnsiiiess atv the same place. The law as it stands allows the board to consider applications based oh plans of a building to be erected for hotel purposes as well as for a building erected. Mr. Curran merely filed plans of his proposed hotel. Had the application been granted no license would have been issued until the building was "completed. The other application was. for a hotel at Crawford Bay, and was,made by Alexander McGregor. It ,was granted. Mining Records'.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-10-27 |
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. |
