SCHOOL BILL 13 DISCUSSED The BracMgf^^&MUling Com ��� hanc|S^^'!Wro,i5:**^*aSi^ -'- pany, report a qu* *=also The volutfie of business done by the wholesale houses of Nelson during the past week "has been considerable and a decided improvement-as compared with the preceding six days. February and March are usually very dull months ���they comprise the between-season term. The winter trade is over and the spring business has not fairly begun, but nevertheless it is not too soon to speculate on the outlook. There is a brisk demand for all classes of merchandise from the 0 Boundary country and also from East Kootenay points, but the falling off in- orders from the Slocan is conspicuous. In the latter section the closing down of' several mines owing to smelter troubles and the reducing of the working staff in others has made merchants very cautious in placing their orders. Goods sent out to these points during the week were in small- lots, and until mining matters are on a more satisfactory basis the Nelson wholesalers do not look for .anything approaching the old-time trade.. The Boundary and East Kootenay are, however, making up the ��� deficiency.' Goods are sent frbm this point as far east as Fernie and as far north as Revelstoke, and there is a well established trade with, the intermediate towns and camps, ns will be observed from the appended list. The Boundary trade promises to be very*/ , brisk,-ana*" as-tall' the .supplies;-go- froin Nelson the wholesale houses' here'wiirbenefit by the increased: development of that growing section. ��� H. J./ Evans & Co. filled some large orders during the week for Phoenix,x Moyie, Robson and Ymir, and also sent on some bills to Slocan City andl Ainsworth. They report business quiet. The Kootenay Supply Company had a busy week, filling orders for Moyie, Cranbrook, Cascade City, Grand Forks, Columbia, Phoenix, Eholt, Greenwood, Kitchener, Pilot Bay, Kaslo, Ymir, Robson, Sandon, Whitewater, Sirdar and Trail. The major portion of the goods went to Boundary points. The Nelson Saw & Planing Mill ���company resumed operations at the mill after a few months' close-down on Thursday morning and wifch a good boom of logs on hand for im- - mediate useTind~manjnarge orders ahead, are in shape for a busy season. -The building trade is at present dull, owing to the fact that an open fall enabled operations to be carried on later in the year than* usual, and a severe opening of the. hew year somewhat retarded work. However, the outlook is very encouraging. Lumber was shipped during the week!to Phoenix, Grand Forks, Robson .7 and Ainsworth, while the local demand was good. A. Macdonald & Co. shipped during the week to Cascade City, Eholt, Summit, Sirdar,0 Fernie, Creston, Rossland, Erie, Silverton and Sandon. They; report business generally quiet, especially in the silver-lead regions. ; The existing depression, the firm say, will probably continue as long as the.smelter question remains unsettled. From other points a brisk business may be expected. The California "Wine Company had an average week's business to report, and although times are dull, look confidently for an immediate pick-up in trade. Their shipments were to Grand Forks, Moyie, Cranbrook, Kimberley, Fernie, Robson, Sandon, Ymir and Ainsworth. The Kootenay Wire Mattress Company are kept busy but al1 though they have a monopoly of the business in the Kootenays they experience keen competition from outside points, especially from the American side. Mattresses are also shipped in from eastern Canada. However, they have -filled orders for Rossland, New Denver, Kaslo, Phoenix and Moyie. ��� J.

There will also be crossings laid on Lake street from Josephine and on Victoria street at Josephine. STRONG OPPOSITION, AGAINST SOME OF ITS GLAUSES. Government Ownership of Bailroads Will Be Subject of Discussion Next Week���Other Items. Victoria,'March 22.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The school bill was discussed in committee today." The section imposing the property qualification for trustees was laid over and will, without doubt, be struck' out. Houston sought to have'the mayor and one councilman made members of the hoard, but' failed, for the present at least. There is strong opposition to the principle of allowing^ the- trustees to have full power over expenditures and it will be'changerd so that the expenditures will be as much under the control of the'councils as are expenditures now under the control of the provincial government.. The bill regarding .the payment of timber royalties on land granted to railways was passed, the Opposition voting solid against it. - - -The question of government ownership of railways will be discussed next week, as Houston has given notice of moving a resolution that, in the opinion of the house, the railway from the Crow's Nest -Pass coal mines to the international boundary line should be undertaken as a provincialpublic work. The members of the, government have declared to individual members that there wilL be no increase of salaries to an yof the provincial officials.

Tackled the Wrong Man. Chicago, March 22.���"Bull" Flaherty, a local saloonkeeper, made an attempt to slug champion fighter Jim Jeffries, but wound up by having a couple of Jiis ribsbroken. .The encounter took place in front of the Academy of Music. It seems that Flaherty had been brooding over thefact that he had lost $500 on -Tom-Sharkey-in-the-latter's-fight with Jeffries.' He had . become pretty well reconciled, however, to the loss of.the money up to the time the billboards announced the appearance of the champion at a West Side playhouse. Then it was that Flaherty decided upon what he thought the best way to square things with ��� the man who had humiliated him, and incidentally whipped Sharkey. Just as Jeffries stepped out of the main entrance of the Academy of Music Flaherty stopped in front of him and swung his. ponderous right to the jaw of the champion. Surprised into leaving a good opening, Jeffries caught the blow just back of the ear, and it staggered him a bit. Flaherty came back with a hot left, aimed at the same point. Then there was trouble for Flaherty. The champion:'.blocked the second punch andtg&thered the large form of the saloonkeeper in his bearlike embrace. When Jeffries' brawny arms closed around Flaherty the saloonkeeper yelled for help. It came in the form of a policeman, who pried the men apart, but not before Jeffries had broken two of Flaherty's ribs. Rosecranz Was the Man. .Washington, March 22.���A con- -troyersy which has been pending in the war department since 1891, in ���which the veterans of the eastern and the western armies who'fought at Chattanooga have been interested, has j list been settled by a board of officers appointed . in August last by secretary Root, of which major John R.

' General Voyron, commander of the French troops, has ordered a new regiment to Tien Tsin to replace the one now there. At the meeting of the foreign ministers this morning the only question considered was that of policing the legation quarters. A committee of ministers has been appointed to discover China's resources and report on her ability to pay the indemnity to be demanded by the powers. Many ministers are strongly opposed to China having to pay to keep an army of ten or twelve thousand men here for the next two years, thinking this is entirely unnecessary. Even those ministers who were here during the siege are tired of seeing Pekin a military camp. TheyL_hope__China_will���be put upon her feet as soon as possible. Berlin, March 22.���The war office has.received the following from count von Waldersee:,"The Anglo- Russian dispute at Tien Tsin has been settled from a military standpoint in a manner satisfactory to both parties at' a conference between general Wogack and general Barrow.

They stated in conversation with the passengers that they intended to survey a line from Marcus along the Kettle river to the international boundary line at a point south of Cascade City. A. B. W. Hodges, superintendent of the Granby-smelter at Grand Forks, arrived 'here today on his return from-a visit of inspection to the various copper, smelting plants in the western states and a trip to New. York, and Chicago. - He announced that the contract for the supply of the two additional furnaces,* with a joint, minimum capacity of 600 tons per day, and the two converters, capable of treating 100 tons of matte daily, had been awarded to the Gates Iron Works of Chicago,, the same firm that furnished the original plant.

The development of the East Kootenay coal fields threatens to cut the present Kootenay Wage scale in two. When one mining company can secure all the men it requires at $2 per day other companies will not continue to pay $3.25. This being so labor leaders might be better employed in seeking to establish a fair scale of wages for the men employed in the coal" mines, than in boosting the railway schemes of the men who are doing all they can to demoralize the labor market. of one of the ferocious animals. This tiger, he says, is known to have killed 50 natives iu the neighborhood of the settlements of Krnngjeng. One day in tbe center of a five acre clearing a dozen or more natives were threshing mustard seed. The tiger in question bounded from a near-by jungle, seized a woman from the midst of the crowd and was soon hid in the high grass. The Rev. Mr. Moore failed to get any natives to follow him in search for the unfortunate woman's body. Taking his gun he followed in the direction the tiger had gone. Some 150 yards from the clearing he found the mutilated body of the woman. Mr. Moore waited the animal's return and shot it, .The missionary says he has killed 11 tigers aud wounded many more. THE HUDSON'S ./- ���>-?-H 3&tee IBrltamei The Revelstoke Herald gives currency to the yarn that the . mine owners of-the province will reduce the scale of wages if they fait to secure an amendment to the two per cent tax. This may bo regarded as a bluff. The amendments which have been made to the'Alien.Labor.Act will now prevent the importation into Canada of anyone from the United States Under contract,, but they do not prevent the importation of Chinese or Japanese under contract. Fighting the decision of the full court, that naturalized Japanese can vote, does not promise much, for the province. More could be effected in securing the cancellation of naturalization papers fraudulently obtained and in taking, measures to prevent a repetition of such practices. Every day brings a new delegation to the members of the provincial government, and every delegation holds views differing from the delegation which preceded it. This doubtless explains why the government's railway policy has more crimps in it than a hairping. Rumor has it that the Canadian Pacific and Great, Northern railway companies are patching up a , deal over their railway schemes,in,British Columbia. This, however, will not deter the V. V. & E. charter boosters from demanding that subsidy of $4000 per mile as the price for competition with the Canadian Pacific. Victoria is enthusiastic over-the building of the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern railway, but, it does not follow that any such road will be built. Victoria was even more enthusiastic over the building of the British-Pacific, but this enterprise is now a mere .recollection. Victoria gets a railway- fever about once a year, and wheu. the fever is on no proposal, is too wild, and no financial burden too SLOCAN MINING NOTES. Slocan Drill.

The whole opposition seconded the motion. The . government leader, Mr. Balfour, declared he had. never heard an adjournment suggested on such a frivolous > pretext. Perhaps it was desirable that lord Lansdowne should have sent the information to the house, but it was absurd to attack' him, Mr. Balfour, for. not doing so. The house divided on the-question of adjournment, which was-defeated by a vote of 250 to 168; Case Adjourned. London, March 22.���In the trial of libel actions brought against the Star and Morning Leader by Arthur Chamberlain, brother of Joseph Chamberlain, and Neville Chamberlain, son of Arthur Chamberlain, in connection with charges bearing on war office contracts,- the case of the plaintiff'was closed this afternoon after further cross-examination and re-examination of. Arthur Chamberlain had elicited nothing of general interest. The defence will" not, call , any witnesses. The case was adjourned till Monday. * Hops Almost Abandoned Victoria, March 22.���Hope for the safety of the salmon ship Ardnamnchan has b 'en all but given up here because of the receipt of news today from Astoria in a private message of the finding of more salmon marked C.

Victoria and Gladstone. - In the case of the abolition of the purchase of commissions in ��� the army, she was practically coerced by Mr. Gladstone. The house of ' commons had" acted in" favor of' abolition, and, knowing the house of lords would oppose it, he asked the queen to do it by royal proclamation. She was utterly opposed to the measure, but he asked her in such a way that her very frugal shrewdness prevented her from declining. Had she done so the house of commons might have : refused to vote the supplies for-the civil list and various special allowances for the personal expenditures andperquisites of the royal family, amounting to over, a million pounds a year, which ih that case would have to be defrayed from her majesty's private resources. Nor did she refuse to approve the bill to disestablish the Irish church, nor\ - for that matter any other bill passed by parliament. She never once exercised the veto power. But she never'forgave Mr. Gladstone for forcing upon her these disagreeable duties. The popularity of.the great! commoner was too great for even \ the queen openly to oppose. f This should not be recorded as particularly against the ' queen. She could hardly be expected to be 'personally in favor of such progressive steps. She was at the very center of conservatism. Her whole environment, interest and thinking ^wereof^necessity^from^the^point-ofi view of conserving the traditions of the monarchy, and with it, of course, the status of the aristocratic classes. It is not surprising, therefore, that she should on a few occasions have shown reluctance to approve, or even opposition to, the innovations of a manifestly democratic movement. The surprise is, rather, that she should have acquiesced in so much and opposed so little. This is really the secret of her popularity. . It was not for what she did but what she refrained from doing that the English people learned to love her so much. ' Why .Blaine Resigned. .[ Colonel W. H. Rossington, speaking of the late Benjamin Harrison, recalled the incident of the sudden resignation of James G. Blaine from the office of secretary of state and assigned a cause for the sensational '.act that probably has never been printed. "Mr. Blaine was driven to resign by an impulsive act pf his wife," colonel Rossington said. "It is generally believed that he resigned because he knew that his name would go before the Minneapolis convention, but that is a mistake. He resigned because Mrs. Blaine some time before had made a scene in the White House. I got the story from George M. Pullman. " 'Mrs. Blaine,' said Pullman, ���called at the White House and sent, for the president. Without any ceremonies she began a tirade of abuse. She told him that by putting her son, Walter Blaine, at arduous, humiliating and impossible tasks he had driven him to resign from the office of assistant secretary and that his death was due to the systematic persecution of the president. Now, by the same methods, the president wa9 trying to force her husband to resign. She told Harrison he was jealous; of Blaine and had put himself in her husband's way to tlie presidency; The president in a cool and dignified manner informed' her that it did not become one of his position to; discuss such matters with one of��� her sex. He left her to find a way out of the building.' That was the cause of Mr. Blaine's resignation from the cabinet," continued colonel Rossington, "and the people have_fo'r years believed that he was impelled by selfish motives." Esquimaux Dying Out. That the Alaskan Indians as a race of reds are destined .to early extinction is the belief of lieutenant D.'H. Jarvis, and there is perhaps no better living authority on the native tribes.of the North. "It's no exaggeration to say that 25 per cent of the natives in Nome and other sections of Alaska invaded by the whites last year died of disease and starvation," lieutenant Jarvis remarked. "Of course, with such a death rate, and I see no hope for a much better condition of affairs to obtain in the future, the Alaskan Indians will soon become practically extinct. The history of all'inferior races is. that they'die out on the advent of the white man. Mere contact with him is fatal to .them. One cannot but be interested in the Esquimaux disposition. In the face. of the disastrous results to them of the encroachments of, the whites they have borne all with scarcely a murmur. There is a; marked difference- in this respect, between the natives of Alaska'and the Indians of the plains, who* fought to hold every inch of ground taken from them. " The Esquimaux were in a pitiable condition from hunger and disease as I saw them about Nome last' summer. Whole families died. I remember .of a case where seven-' out of a family of nine died, all' within a few weeks. Some of our ^people at Nome did not stop to consider the condition of the natives. Esquimaux were often seen dying of hunger and within sight of the provisions of the Whites. Still they did not beg or steal and made no attempt to take food. The Eskimos are proud. They tell of their trouble' and sufferings only to . such of the whites as they know to be sincerely their friends. Instances of the recklessness and disregard of the whites for, the Aleuts can be cited. Last summer as the steamers =lay-at=anchor-in=Dutch harbor some of the passengers strolled over the hillsback of the town^ They built camp fires which-proved most disastrous to the natives. >The fires spread and burned .the grass, .and with it destroyed the berries, the bird's nests and the young foxes, all needful to the natives. These things, aside from fish, "were ��heir chief reliance for food." H. S. HOWLAND President. D. K. WILKIE General Manager. IS. HAY Inspector. THK SAVINGS BANK CURRKNT HATK OP DEPARTMENT. -INTEREST ALLOWED. A Slick Device- The ease of George Brotherton, charged with keeping a gambling house at Nos. ilO and 118 West Forty-second street, was m heard by justice Jerome in New York recently. Charles H. Easton, the agent of the owner of the property, testified that between the first and second raids he had\ a talk with Brotherton, who was the lessee, and asked him why it was that the place had been raided. Brotherton told him that there was' no gambling in the building, but that at times "a couple of gentlemen used to play cards in his rooms." Justice Jerome fixed bail at $2500 and Brotherton was committed. Though it has" been thought to be impossible to "doctor" a roulette wheel, sb that the house has a big advantage over the player, an examination of some of the tables taken in the raid shows that an ingenious method to attain that result had been achieved. The discovery was only made through one of the tables being accidentally broken. This revealed the secret. 1 It was found that a' rubber tube ran from the edge of the table, where it ended in an air bulb, to an outlet at the edge' of the wheel in which is the groove for the ball. The entire device was sunk, so as Nelson Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street. J. M. LAY, Manager. to be invisible. If the ball showed a disposition to drop near numbers on which there was a heavy play a pressure by the operator on the air' bulb produced a jet of air directly behind the ball, which drove it fur- ther.around to.a point beyond the dangerous numbers, and it would then fall of its own- weight into a place of safety. This device made it almost impossible for a player to win. It is alleged that Brotherton ran a crooked roulette wheel, taken in the raid, but the specific charge against him is maintaining a gambling house. From Portsmouth to Sydney. The duke arid duchess of Corn�� wall propose to make a-journey to Australia, and England happens to be in a situation to seev them through witha great���',deal of dignity. The Channel Squadron will accompany them from Portsmouth to Gibraltar; from there, a division of the Mediterranean fleet will guard them to Malta,, and another division from Malta to Port Said. Six torpedo boat' destroyers will form the escort through the Suez canal, and two warships will see them to the entrance to the Red sea. There they will be taken up .by the East Indies-squadron, which will accompany them all the* way to New Guinea, and then hand then! over to the Australian squadron, which will convey them to-Sydney. Thus there will be an escort of battle fleets all the way from Portsmouth to Sydney. - Insurance for Danish Spinsters. * . In Denmark there is a premium on spinsterhood, says the New Xork Sun. A\ celibacy insurance company has���been founded, and between an insurance company and a husband' a Danish maiden's heart 'is rent' with indecision. If a holder of a policy in the celibacy is still unmarried at 40 she is considered immune and gets a life annuity. If she'marries before 40 she forfeits her policy and premiums. In Sweden and Norway there are several old maids' homes and at least' One of them is a most attractive institution. A wealthy man, more than 200 years ago, left most of his fortune to the old maids among his descendants. A supberb home was furnished and built and managed by salaried trustees. An' old maid who can prove blood relationship to the founderfJ of. the institution is entitled-to a place in the home.

The Nelson Gun Club will. hold its first shoot today at the foot of Stanley street. The Chapleau creditors are receiving their checks. They are calling early and often. There was no case in the police court yesterday morning, and if there is no arrest this morning, it will mean a clean sheet for the week. The heavy rains of last night have made the recreation grounds so heavy' that the practices arranged for today will probably have to be postponed. The fire brigade was called out yesterday morning to Dr. Form's house. A gas explosion in the stove was the cause of the trouble. No damage done, except to the stove. *"- Excavation work under the Phair Hotel progresses satisfactorily. No rock is being encountered and it is expected that within two months from date the job 'will have been completed. At the Methodist church tomorrow the subjects will be "The All- pervading Presence" and '"The Habit of Going to Church." The pastor, Rev. J. H. White, will preach at both services. The bylaw regulating rthe cemetery is still in the embryo ��� stage. "Keep my grave green" is a beautiful sentiment, but until the caretaker can get water on the grounds the graves are not likely to keep green. There are a number of ' golf players in Nelson who talk of starting a club. Where to locate the links is what is puzzling these enthusiasts rather than the fear of any scarcity of caddies. ��� A few days ago a carload of coke was upset at the trestle on the C. P. R. about a mile-from .town. A gang of men was yesterday morning sent out to gather up the material and'made short work of the job. The usual services will be held in the Baptist church tomorrow, the pastor, Rev. Morgan, occupying,the pulpit. "IU the morning "the subject will be' "Vision 'and Service," and the theme for the evening' "Christ and the Chinese Problem." Everybody invited. ' ' ��� i , The.' "sidewalk on Front street, east of Hali, is in a bad way. The earth'is tumbling down and covering'the path; rendering it impassable.' There'are several, pairs of rubbers there, which evidently encased the Trilbys of unfortunate pedestrians whom business' brought along'that way." Secretary Swannell was out yesterday raising funds to assist the Mine Owners' Association in sending-a delegate to Ottawa to lay before the government the, necessity of encouraging the mining interests of the province by bonusing a refinery. The prompt response to the appeal shows that the business men of the city are alive to the importance of the proposition. The Salvation Army have added a' portable organ to their instrumental music, and to its mellow strains the popular airs to which their hymns are madb to accommo- ~date themselves may be heard at the street corners. While the brass band is leading the rally in one district knee-drill is going on in another with introductory organ recitals. The funeral of the late Thomas Henry O'Brien took place yesterday morning. The casket' was taken from the undertaking parlors shortly before nine o'clock and brought to the church of Mary -Immaculate, where high mass was said by Rev. father Ferland. After this the cortege was re-formed and proceeded to the cemetery where all that was mortal of a good man was laid to rest. ' A bowling alley has been- established-wBere'the 'shooting gallery used to jibe on Baker street, east of Josephine.. When the old attraction was Tunning bulls-eyes used to bring the sharp-shooter cigars enough for his friends, the aroma of which were doubtless destroyed by the powder smoke. The weeds were not popular with the winners. In knocking down the pins the amusement does not end in smoke. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM EXISTS As to Diphtheria. All sorts of wild rumors are afloat as to the alleged epidemic of diphtheria in Nel.son. There is no cause for alarm. There are but three cases in the city and these are quarantined. Every precaution known to sanitary science is being taken to prevent the spread of the disease, and there is good reason to believe that success will attend the effort. Two of the cases are from one household and the third was discovered in the same locality as the first two, and may bo traced to them. It is, of course, advisable that the citizens at large should do all in their power to avert the disease by observing the ordinary rules of sanitation. If this be done there is little fear. A step in the right direction has been taken . in insisting upon the removal of squatters' shacks, whicli are, perhaps, the greatest danger to the community. Those who occupy these wretched hovels generally ignore" the presence' of people who live in the neighborhood and take no pains to keep their surroundings clean. All refuse matter is simply thrown from the door or the window and allowed to rot ih the sun if not washed away by rain or. carried off by accident. The sooner these danger spots are cleared away the better, in the interests of health and decency. On the part of parents there seems to be a general impression that children incur a risk of contracting the disease at school. The result is that for the past few days the average attendance at the public school has been less than half what it has ' been. Medical men give the assurance that what has been magnified into an outbreak is under control, so that there appears to be little reason for keeping ,the little ones at home. The danger is over; there is no reason to call wolf. Keep" the Chimneys Clear. Of recent date the fire brigade has been called out very frequently to chimney fires. Every time, an alarm is j-iing in" it costs tlie city $25, and chief Lillie' is 'determined to enforce a little economy oh this scored In'f ntiir'e when these alarms are given and the brigade turn out the occupant;offttie'house with, the defective clifmrfey will be ' called upon-to pay Jthe men, A'city ordinance provides for ,the recovery of expenses'incurred under, these circumstances and.it.4s.intended to put it into operation'. A test, case will be made, on ��� Monday morning. If it goes in favor of, the city there will Jbe work for" a chimney'.'sweep. The Proposed Flour Mill.'' The board of .works approve of the project to establish a flour .mill in Nelson. The site suggested is .one beloM the electric power house, the intention being to utilize the overflow from thedam to drive the mill. ' It is calculated that for at least eight or nine months in the year there will be sufficient overflow to keep a wheel in "motion. There is a fall of about 70 feet and an excellent millsite. At present the railway spur runs as far as the gas works, so that by_extending_a little farther east ample facilities would be afforded for receiving and forwarding mill supplies. The application for the site and water power is made by Joseph' Jackson on behalf of himself and a miller at present operating in the Northwest. At yesterday's meeting the board of works asked for a proposition in writing, setting forth the capacity of the mill which it' is proposed to erect and the intention of the promoters as to wlieri' they will start operations should 'their application be favorably 'received by the council.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-03-23 |
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. |
