C, MONDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS NELSON'S 1901 ASSESSMENT SHOWS CONSIDERABLE GAINS IN IMPROVEMENTS. Light Valuations and Low Tax Bates Will Continue to Go Hand in Hand Here. J. K. Strachan, city assessor, has about completed his assessment for the year 1901; and the roll will probably go before the members of the city council at their meeting this evening. It will show a total assessment _ of something like $2,291,975, of whicli lands will represent $1,230,8-10 and improvements $1,001,135. Of these values the East ward contributes $1,291,- 330, made up of lands $092,000 and improvements $599,2-10: and the West ward $1,000,012, made up of hinds $53S,750 andcimprovenients -���$���101,890. Tho assessor this year has interfered very little with the land values as returned last year, the increase shown being almost entirely covered in the new buildings wliich have gone up since the last roll was completed, the increased value of improvements being returned at close upon a quarter of a million dollars. Ln arriving at these assessments, however, the practice i.-i to put land and improvements in at about 75 per cent of their actual v;ihie, In this Nelson differs from most other cities where the boi rowing limits have been reached, and in order to overcome such restrictions over-valuations have been re; sorted to. Nelson, /however,7 not only has an assessment based upon 7J�� pei' cent of proporty values, but it also has the lowest tax rate of any "city in llritish Columbia. The rates last year upon a- value basis of 75 per cent were Hi mills upon real estate and 2*r miljs upon 50 per cent of the improvements, or cq-ial. to.If mills upon the improvements s assessed on the basis of 75 per cent of their valuation. Another fact worth noting is that in all other cities in-British Columbia taxation is levied upon land values and upon 50 per cent of the improvement viiluations, whereas ' in Nelson tlie improvements are only taxed for the purpose of paying interest aud provding sinking funds . for the- $50,000 worth of debentures issued during the first year ��� of the city's corporate existence. This tax, however, is a decreasing one as the increase in valuations reduces the rate. The reason for thei existence of this tax upon improvements is found in the fact that inniaking the loan of 1S97 the city council =covenauted=to=Taise=annually=so= much money for the payment of interest and sinking funds upon till the ratable "property," whicli, of course, was construed to include improvements; but in all subsequent loans the bylaws provide for the Vaising of the necessary niopey upon .the lands only. Were it not for this covenant the improvements in Nelson would be altogether exempt from taxation. The manner in which this improvement exemption in Nelson works out may be cited as follows : Take a piece of real estate worth $5000 upon wliich a building worth $20,000 has boen erected. This gives a total valuation of $25,000 upon which iu all other cities of Uritish Columbia the owner would pay taxes, after allowing, the 50 per cent exemption on improvements, upon a basis of $15,000, whereas in Nelson tlie. real estate would pay a tax rate, of less than 12 mills aud tho improvements a rate of less than two mills upon their actual valuation. Another insfcauce of the lightness of the/taxation in Nelson is evidenced by the traders tax of $10 per. year. Were such traders iu Winnipeg and occupying stores worth $100 per month rental they would be required to pay a tax of one twelfth of their rental, which would mean a tax of $100 instead ol' the tax of $10 imposed in Nelson. Rates Must Be Lowered. Nrcw York, May 20.-^A. Bostel- iivm, general superintendent of the Trans-Siberian railway's Asiastic division and tho 19 steamships connected with the railway service in aud around Port Arthur, has had an important conference with E. H. | Harriman. Mr. Bostelman represents the Russian government in a semi-official capacity and his mission in New York is understood to be to promote amicable traffic arrangements with the Union Pacific lines and the steamship interests controlled by the Union Pacific. Mr. Bostelman said last night that in his opinion there was little hope for a speedy development of American commerce between San Francisco and Chinese ports until the freight rate of $11 a ton is lowered. Bodies Recovered. London, May 20. ��� Thirty-two bodies, some of them terribly mutilated, have been recovered at the Universal colliery in Senghenydd, in the Rhonda valley, where an explosion occurred last Saturday. King Edward has sent a message of deep sympathy with the families of the victims and of admiration of the gallantry of the rescuers. NEW CASE OF SMALLPOX KILLED AND MANY INJURED By an Electric Car Collision at Albany. PATIENT HAILS FROM WINNIPEG THIS TIME. He Is Suspicious That He Has the Disease and Hunts un the City Health Officer. Nelson has a new case of smallpox. Tho patient is Isaac Plemming of Winnipeg, who. ariived in tho city about a week ago. Mr. Flem- ming, who has been living in a shack in the east ward, became suspicious yesterday that lie was suffering from smallpox, and started out to locate the city health officer. He called at the fire hall in search of the proper authority, but was kept at a safe distance and directed to Dr. LaBau's office. When seen by Dr. LaBau the patient ���'received -every assurance, that his fears were well founded and he was started at once to The city pest house, and J. Clayton, who nursed patient Bertram, was at once installed as nurse. Although the disease had broken out on tho patient, it is too early to say whether or not he is suffering from a virulent type, but from the action of the patient iu calling upon tlie health officer the chance of any spread of the disease has been very greatly minimized. The patient took the precaution, when he started for the health officer, to hide the key of his shack so that no one could enter it, and as soon as it can be located by the health officer it will.be thoroughly fumigated. It is evident that the patient, iFlemmiug,^ontracted~tlie~disease~iu" a railway coach, as he has been traveling almost constantly since the end of April, coming to Nelson from Winnipeg. This circumstance emphasizes the importance of having thorough fumigation of all railway carriages passing through infected districts, as owing to the prevalence of the disease throughout the east the chances for its introduction into this province are very good indeed.

David Mills sails for England next Saturday, to be absent about two months. He goes as a delegate in connection with an enlarged judicial committee of the privy council. Albany, May 20.���Electric cars racing for a switch, while running in opposite directions at the rate of 40 miles an hour, cost five lives this afternoon by a terrific collision, while over forty prominent people injured, some fatally and others seriously, filled the accident wards of the various hospitals, with the possibility of other deaths before morning. The lobby of the local postoffice is filled with dead and wounded. Hysterical women and children looking for relatives and friends,surgeons administering temporary relief and ambulances racing through the city taking the wounded to hospitals were the early intimations of the most terrible electric-line accident ever heard of iu this locality. The scene of the accident was a poiut about two miles out of East Greenbush on the line of the Albany and Hudson railway, a just completed road of the third-rail pattern. Tho point where the cars met on the single track was at a sharp curve, and so fast were both running and so sudden' the collision that tlie motorman never had time to put on the brakes before southbound car No. 22 had i gone clean through car No. 17. One motorman; was pinioned up against the smashed front of the southbound caf; with both legs severed and killed instantly, while the other oueTMived but a few minutes. Fully 120 men, women and children formed a huge struggling, shrieking pyramid - mixed with blood, detached portions of human bodies and the, .wreckage of the ears. Some of the more slightly injured of the men extricated themselves from the quivering mass and began to take people out of .the rear ends of the two cars and almost everyone'was extricated in this way. The scene was heartrending. The few women and children who had escaped injury and death were hysterical and added their cries to the shrieks of the dying. Men with broken arms, and jaws, dislocated joints and bloody heads and faces tried to assist others who were more helpless and there were many cases of bravery. Help had been summoned from East Greenbuslrand vicinity and in a short time the bruised mass of humanity, with the mutilated dead for gruesome and silent company, were loaded on extra cars and taken to Albany. Three ambulances and physicians had? been summoned and the postoffice turned into a morgue and hospital. As fast as the physicians could fix up the wounded they were taken to their homes and to the hospitals in carriages or hospital ambulances. With the motormen killed, it was hard to get at the real cause of the accident, but it is pretty well determined that it was caused by an attempt of a south-bound car to reach a second switch instead of waiting for the north-bound at the first siding. The cars weigh 15 tons each and are the largest electric cars built, but so frightful was the crash that both cars were torn almost to splinters. Both cars were filled with Sunday pleasure-seekers returning from the newly open recreation grounds that the new railway had just opened. The southbound car left Albany at 4:30 and the accident occurred at 5 o'clock. The cars on the line were running at switch heads ways; that is, if a car had a siding switch it was supposed to wait until another going in the opposite direction passed. Among the passengers on the southbound car was deputy superintendent Howard J. Rogers of the state department of' public instruction and his family. He was accompanied by Mrs. Rogers and their young son and daughter, all of whom are slightly injured, with the exception of the daughter. ALL WILL BE PAID IN FULL FOR SUPPLIES FURNISHED CONTRACTOR HAWLEY. Dividend of Fifty Per Cent Will Be Declared Shortly and the Remainder in Jnly. J. A. Turner, government agent, has received instructions from Victoria to proceed with the distribution of the government vote for the relief of the creditors of contractor Hawley, who made an assignment while constructing the Molly Gibson wagon road. Contractor Hawley owed Nelson merchants some $3780, and during the first session of the present legislature Messrs. Houston and Green secured a relief yote of $1805 as a government grant to the wagon road, tlie samo to be used in settling the con- "tractor's^^blig^ merchants on account of stores. At the last session of the legislature Mr. Houston secured an additional grant of $1500 for the same purpose. .These two accounts, together with the $415 received from the salo of Henley's supplies, will realize an amouut sufficient to pay the contractor's creditors about 100 cents on the dollar. There was an understanding with respect to this $415, which set out that in event of auy aid beiug extended by the provincial government the $415 would be turned over to the owners of the Molly Gibson mine. This agreement, however, the provincial government refuses to recognize and it is a condition precedent to the payment of any money on the part of the government that this sum is turned .over to ;- ib to assist in defraying the contractor's creditors for stores supplied. As the contractor's creditors stand to gain $3305 by putting up the $415 it is not unlikely that some arrangement will be arrived at even if they have to make the amount good to the Molly Gibson people afterwards. The matter must be fixed up within the next few days, however, as tho first vote of $1805 will lapse with the end of June. A meeting of the creditors will probably be held today to discuss the matter. When the matter of the $415 is satisfactorily arranged government agent Turner will declare a dividend of 50 per cent upon the claims, and the remainder when the vote of the recent session becomes available in July.

TORONTO, 25.���Borden, opposition leader, arrived here this morning and with Mrs, Borden are guests of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Osier. This afternoon they attended the Jockey Club races, and tonight a reception was held at the Osier residence. Monday night Mr. Borden addresses a mass meeting in Massey Hall.

Marshfihji.d, Ohio, May 20.��� News has just reached here of the discovery near Coquille City of tho body of E. E. Daly, who had evidently been murdered for his money. Jesse .''McQuagg, while walking on the Vail road track at Cedar Point, saw a man digging in the brush, and an investigation later led to the discovery of Daly's body buried just below the surface with a bullet hole in tho back of the head. Daly came from Blackwell, O. T., and had been working several months for a Coos river farmer. He was paid off on Thursday, receiving $170. No money was found on the body. It is thought that the identity of the murderer is known and the sheriff is on his trail. A FRENZIED ACTOR'S DEED INEZ LEONARD SHOT AND KILLED BT HER LOVER. Edgar Beaucleigh, While Drunk, Com ~, ���mits a Murder and -Takes His Own Life. Key Wrst, Florida, May 20.���A terrible tragedy was enacted here last night at the cottage occupied by the D'Ormond Fuller Opera Company, as a result of which Miss Inez. Leonard and Edgar Beaucleigh, two members of the compauy, are dead. The latter had been drinking, o About 2:30 o'clock the members of the company were startled by the report of a ��� revolver and Inez, screamed: "Help; help; I am dying." Then another shot rang out. The members of the company rushed into the room and foundlMIs* Leonardin a dying con- dition. She was shot through the left sido just below the heart, the bullet coming out on the right side. Beaucleigh was lying on the opposite side of the room, his face covered with blood. Ho was dead. An examination showed that he had shot himself through the mouth and the bullet remained in his head. A 48-caliber Martini rifle and two empty shells were mute evidence of the tragedy. The rifle stained with blood was lying by Beaucleigh. When questioned as to the cause of the tragedy, manager D'Ormond said it was a mystery to every member of the company. Inez Leonard and Beaucleigh wero always very affectionate toward each other. Tliey were engaged and expected to be married as soon as they went north. There had been no quarrel or anything approaching a quarrel between them. Edgar Beaucleigh was born in Chicago and was adopted by Miss Fuller, one of the company, when four years of age. He was raised and educated inkier her care. .. Inez Leonard was'tfrbni Philadelphia. Her mother and father are both on the stage. Michigan Cranks. Grand Rapids, Michigan, May 20. ��� The American Transvaal League's annual meeting last night reelected their officers. The treasurer's report showed that $729 had been disbursed by the national society for the benefit of widows and orphans of Boer soldiers, and $304 sent direct to Kruger. In his annual address president Walker said: "The situation is not so desperate for the two republica as it seemed in September of last year. Every day's continuance of the "present struggle will help to cure England's war fever and sober her judgment and clarify her reason and her conscience. Chamberlain has already gone into eclipse." He urged a continuance of the work for the success of the Boers, and for the relief of the widows and orphans. A Desperate Negro. Macon, Georgia, May 20.���A special to the Telegraph from Flo- villa, Georgia, says: "This afternoon chief of police Matt Willard, while advancing on a desperate negro, Joseph Walton, was shot down and seriously wounded. Policeman Willard was going to place the negro under arrest aud was shot without warning before he could draw his own revolver. Sheriff Crawford with a'J posse aud bloodhounds are on the negro's trail, and if caught he will be dealt with as usual by the infuriated mob. DEFY AMERICAN AUTHORITY GUERRILLA WARFARE WANING BOER MOVEMENTS LACKING IN SPIRIT AND METHOD. GERMAN OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS GET BELLIGERENT. Foreign Troops Preparing to Leave Pekin���Palaces Being Prepared for Emperor's Return. Prkin, May 20.���The United States legation guard has had its first trouble. ^The legation street is being repaired near the legation and an American sentry was placed at the point with orders to direct people around by a' side street. Everybody obeyed with the exception of the Germans, both officers and soldiers of which have caused the American- sentries , much trouble.- One of the German oflicers drew his sword and charged an-American soldier,' who~ brought his bayonet to "charge," whereupon the officer desisted.' Subsequently a German soldier charged past the sentry, who fired, hitting another German soldier near the German legation a quarter of a mile off. This, fortunately, was only a light flesh wound. The sentry has been placed under arrest and major Robertson has instituted an investigation. The attitudo of Dr. Mumm Von Schwartzenstein, the foreign minister representing the civilians, and count Von Waldersee, representing the military, as well as that of other officials, has been particularly friendly towards the Americans, which makes all the more pronounced tho unfriendly . feeling evinced by a majority of the German oflicers and men. This un- friendliness^is^attributed^to^the- American attitude in retaining control with the legation guard of ono entrance to tho forbidden city, which the Germans consider a reflection upon their national honesty. Today's meeting of the ministers ot the powers was devoted ' to closing up details, of business independent of the indemnity question, although the military authorities of the various powers seem to consider a settlement in sight, as general preparations are being made for the evacuation of Pekin in the early future. Two German marine battalions have loft forTsingTau, and British transports have been ordered. Count von Waldersee expects to leave about the middle of June. Emperor Kwang Su has instructed agents to prepare the palaces for occupation by the court as the troops depart. Washington, May |2G.���Officials here attach no importance to the disturbances between Germans and an American sentinel at Pekin. Such affairs, while regrettable, it is said, are to be expected, especially where the difference in the language' spoken might easily lead to a misunderstanding of orders. No report of the incident has been received at the war department. A Convoy Attacked. London, May 20.���The war office received the following from lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, May 20th: "A superior force of Boars made a determined attack on a convoy between Entersdorp and Pot- chei dorp, May 23rd, but were driven off. Our loss was four killed and thirty wounded. The convoy arrived in safety." Sir .Alfred Milner's Reception by Mr. Chamberlain ���King Edward Hon- . ors the High Commissioner. New York, May 26.���In a dispatch dated London, 1 a. m., I. N. Ford, correspondent of the New York Tribune, says: Lord Kitchener's bulletins are now infrequent, and few sidelights are thrown by the press dispatches upou the guerrilla warfare which is still flickering in South Africa. A second combined movement of six columns is in progress for the clearance of the Eastern Transvaal and South Dela- goa railway, but the results aro not yet known apart from the last report of the capture of cattle. Two Boer forces are reported in this district, one under Botha, near Carolina, and the other iu the mountains near Majuba. Tiie western and northern districts of the Trans-; vaal are quieter, but remnants of commandoes are still lurking among the hills. The Orange River Colony is tolerably free from raiders, but there is a fresh concentration of guerrillas in the Zuurberg district of Cape Colony. Eight or; more small commandoes under as many Boer chiefs aro operating in" Cape Colony, 'and are successful chiefly in eluding pursuit by mounted British columns. A British patrol is snapped up once in ��� ,a'- while, but otherwise the"Boers accomplish little. While the warfare is tedious, it is conducted without signs of exasperation on the British side. Endurance matches-endurance. - - Lord Milner's Visit.- -- . The only prominent Liberal who attended the ministerial reception to lord Milner yesterday was Mr. Fowler. His presence as the guest of Mr. Chamberlain will probably bo a fresh cause of offence to tha advanced Liberals, who hnve already sought to punish him "for criticising their tactics in parlfti- ment. Lord Rosebery was excluded by private mourning. Lord Milner talks quietly about the work remaining to be done in South Africa and shows no signs of despondency. His friends find him graver and broader than before he undertook the responsibility of government in South Africa. They predict that he will remain high commissioner about eight months and succeed lord=Gurzon=ultimateIy=as^viceroyi- of India. His promotion to the peerage furnishes a striking contrnst to the neglect from which sir Bur tie Frere suffered. The abandonment of the high commissioner by the government this time was impossible, when he remained under fire of enemies of the empire at home and abroad. He earned by his nrduous labor every honor of the government. Consequently, tho king's recognition yesterday at Mr. Chamberlain's luncheon. Tho reconstruction policy is a complex problem, but unless all signs fail it will be left in the hands of two men most competent to deal with it���Mr. Chamberlain and sir Alfred Milner���who will now have a prolonged opportunity for going over every detail of the process. Miscellaneous Notes. The king and queen will spend Whitsunday at Windsor, where the private apartments in the castle have been refurnished and redecorated. Though the yachting accident to which the king was exposed has been exaggerated, it has been urged by the ministers that as the duke of Cornwall is out of England, he should bo more prudent in future. The melancholy work of searching for victims of the colliery explosion in Wales has been continued during the last twenty-four hours under exceptional difficulties. The quest was apparently hopeless, as no sounds were heard from the passages under grouud, but strenuous and heroic exertions were made to reach the chamber of the entombed miners and put an end to the awful suspense of those living in'agony waiting for their recovery. i-'m ���i0i - rftl "���w**?| ���'70' Xh-.m "31 ,*>'��.

R. Shed, president of the Smeltermen's Union of Northport, it would seem ,that the managers of the smelter at Northport are deliberately attempting to break up the Union. If this is a statement of fact, the smelter- men will have the sympathy of public opinion. Among other statements, the letter to The Tribune: says: "The Union.has brought no " grievance to the door of the " smelting company. They have " not asked for increased pay, nor " shorter hours, nor the discharge " of any foreman* superintendent " or manager. " The company has " not served any notice of intention " to decrease the pay of the. men, " or lengthen the hours of work, or " any other thing that would tend " to disturb tho Union or its mem- " bers." The smelter at Northport is operated by the owners of the Le Roi mine. All the ore it smelts is mined in .British*'Columbia .by'union miners. The issue sought to ������be forced is plain. If men working at the smelter can be coerced into renouncing their Union, the same action will be attempted at the miue. With the Miner's Union at Rossland knocked out, how easy it will be to fill up the mines with cheap Italian labor underground and cheaper Japanese labor above- ground? This is the issue and it has got to be faced sooner or later. Rossland is to be the battle ground. If the Le Roi management win, Rossland will be the abiding place of a few mine managers and their assistants and the home of thousands of Italians and Japanese.

PIANOS TO RENT. this is to be the result, as far as the province is concerned, the mines at Rossland had better never been discovered. This manager of the Le Roi mine may be as big a man as his friends claim he is, but if he is endeavoring to break up labor unions in this country ho has undertaken a task far too big'for him. Labor unions are just as necessary as aro combinations of capita], and the one, like the other, will exist just as long as the present comraercialeon- ditions exist. When labor unions make demands that are unreasonable, they will be resisted and the unions will be defeated. When combinations of capital are exacting in their demands, they are defeated and the combinations are smashed. There is enough independent labor and capital in tlie country to do this. At the last session bf the legislature an Act was passed incorporating an association locally known in this part of the province as "The Mine Owners' Association." The manager of the Le Roi mine, no doubt, knows what the business and aims of the association are, for his is the lirst name mentioned in the Act as one of the incorporators. Has he, as a mine manager, found it necessary to join a combination of fellow-mine managers, in order to conduct his busiuess successfully? If so, the question might be asked, why he aud his" fellows found it necessary to incorporate under a special Act of the legislature rather than under the general Act, under which so many societies and associations are working successfully to; day in the province? Was it because he and his fellows want to be exclusive, because they are better than the common herd; better than the members of the Kootenay Lake General Hospital Society of Nelson and. the members of the Miners' Union of Sandon ? Men like themanager of the Le Roi mine should take a trip over to Nanaimo and sit for a month at the feet of Samuel M. Robins, who is both a mine manager and an intelligent gentleman. The Nanaimo Herald, the daily organ of the Labor party at Nanai-. mo, taking for granted that a report , published in a Vancouver paper .was true, sheers at R. F. Green, M. P. P, of Kaslo. The report was that Mr. Green was to be made government agent of Slocan cl istrieT;7^nd=tli^Herald"inlihmTtBS= that that office was his price for supporting the Dunsmuir government. If the men who work for wages had a few more men like "Bob" Green in parliament, the professional Labor politicians would have to go out of business. No member of the British Columbia legislature has boen truer to what is called "the Labor interest," and if that interest has secured legislation that benefits it, tho member from Slocan riding is entitled to a great deal of the credit. But this credit will not be accorded him by such papers as the Nanaimo Herald aud the narrow-minded gang of political blatherskites whose mouthpiece the Herald is. These men are as lacking in fairness as they are iu intelligence. They can see no good in anyone who is not a ranting ignoramus like themselves. Their political idols are men who do not benefit them materially and who have not sufficient brains to secure them benefits in the way of practical legislation. . Tub Cranbrook Herald is one of the newspapers of the province that is not at all pleased with the legislation enacted at the last session of the legislature. It might be fair to ack the editor of tlie Herald a question. The question could be worded as follows: " How many of the Acts passed at the last session of the legislature have you read carefully and thoughtfully ?" . There could bo but one answer to the question. Tlie answer would be but a word: " None!" The Toronto Daily News printed an expressive cartoon on Wednesday last. In the background is a milk cow and a pump. In the foreground is an aged horse with a poke on its neck. Midway between the hoi so and cow Claike Wallace stuids with a pitchfork in one hand and in tlie other tho end of a rope fiat is attached to tho cow. Tlio poke on the horse bears tho inscription "Protestant Horse," and underneath the cartoon are the following words: "Well, Clarke " Wallace '11 never make ns much " out of that cow as he's made out " bf this old horse." Mr. Wallace has long been a leading member of the Loyal Order of Orangemen, but has recently embarked in the milk business. The people of Victoria are beginning to awaken to the fact that a railway to the north end of Vancouver Island would be of much greater benefit to them than a ferry connection with a railway13built from a point on Fraser river over Hope mountains to Midway. But six weeks ago any member of the legislature making such a statement was denounced as. an enemy- of Victoria and a hireling of the C. P.R. ...

Washington, May 25.���TJie president has pardoned Alexander McKenzie, now confined in the j til.at Oakland, California, for contempt of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Court in connection \vith Cape Nome receivership cases. Last night the following telegram was received from judge ^Morrow:���'-McKenzie Jias^thid^day= fully complied with* the order of the Circuit Court of Appeals by turning, over to the defendants the remaining property which came into his hands as receiver in tho eases in wliich he stands committed for contempt." The attorney-general thereupon sent an additional telegram to president McKinley advising the immediate and unconditional pardon of McKen/.ie. Upon receipt of the president's telegram notifying him that a pardon had been granted, the attorney-general by wire instructed tho jailer at Oakland to immediately release the prisoner. McKen/.ie, who had been appointed receiver of a number of gold mines in Alaska by judge Noyes of the District Court of Alaska, refused to turn over certain gold dust, the products of the mines, when ordered to do so by tlie Circuit Court of Appeals at San Francisco.. He previously, by order of tlie court, had returned to the defendantsall the property which had come into his possession except this gold dust. For his failure to turn thislatter over he was imprisoned for contempt of court. Mc- Ken/.iq claimed that he was following the advice of his counsel. Tho amount involved was over $100,000.

TISDALL'S GUN STORE VANCOUVER. ^~~~CITY tOCATNEWS^^ Born in Nelson, on Saturday, to the wife of Ralph Bradford, a daughter. Stuart G. Campbell, better known among Grit politicians as "senator" Campbell, celebrated Victoria Day at Silverton. ��� ' W. G. Gillett has secured the contract for raising ��� the Nelson hotel building to grade. The contract price is $495. Cottonwood creek is on the rise again. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company had a large crow of men at work again last evening protecting tho company's tracks. Sidney- 0. Lyon, infant son of George.Lyon, died yesterday. The funeral-service will tako place today at the residence of Mr. Whib- more, smelter hill, afc _ o'clock. John R. Campbell, who is one of Nelson's most reliable all-round athletic yoinig men, helped the people of Ymir celebrate Victoria Day. "Johnnie" won first in three events and second in two others. ^Haljeas' corpus proceedings^ will 'Tie commenced afc Rossland today to secure the release of Belva McKin- dey, tho woman convicted by magistrate Crease upon tlie charge of stealing a number of skirts. Sydney II. Morse, tho Orient tenor, will appear in concert in tlie opera houso this evening, assisted by Mrs. R. W. Hannington and H. Harris. Mr. Morse is probably the most gifted vocalist that has appeared before a Nelson audience. A meeting of the executive committee of tiie Dominion .Day celebration was held Saturday evening, J when the recommondation was approved of soliciting trophies from tlie manufacturers of the east as prizes for the trades procession. The. executive also decided to purchase nil supplies requisitioned by the subordinate committees. A committee on printing was appointed consisting of Hamilton Byers, II. It. Cameron and J. K. Strachan. Tlie house of commons was prorogued on Wednesday last, but this fact did nob; prevent tho Nelson Miner from, publishing under the ���lato of Saturday what purported to be the proceedings of thafc body on that day. The Miner's telegrams are arriving by freight these days. Fred Collins, who is now under sentence of death in the Nelson jail for tho murder of Arthur Dando, is tho most unconcerned man in that institution over his late. He puts in all his leisure time performing upon the banjo, and switches as quickly from sacred to minstrel airs as an artist before the footlights. John Joseph Fournier, the convict Avho has three years to put iu at New Westminster, left for the Coast on Saturday iii charge of provincial constable Forbes. Fournier has considerable property interests at Lardo, aud during his confinement in the Nelson jail had more bTwiffess^iiiterviews^than^^a^reab estate broker. . The local employment agencies are meeting with very indiffereut success in their efforts to secure men for the Lardeau railway construction work. Ib looks very much as if the railway contractors will be forced to furnish transportation in order to secure men, as laborers say they can do better on the work at Robson aud Bonnington Falls. The finance committee of the Dominion Day Celebration will begin their rounds on Wednesday. Every dollar spent by the people of Nelson in celebrating the natal day of the country in which they live and prosper is a dollar well spent. A town, like an individual, must dress up occasionally, and Dominion Day is the day on which Nelsou puts on her best clothes. *^ No move has yet been made in the matter of commencing work on the Nelson postoffice and customs house. The delay has been caused by the action of the contractors in endeavoring to substitute Calgary sandstone for Kootenay lake marble. ; Ifc is|said that the Calgary sandstone 'can be taken out, sawed and laid down in Nelson cheaper than the local marble, originally decided upon, could be secured.

On the morning of that day the river began to rise, but nothing serious was apprehended. By evening the water had risen to cover completely the principal street. Before midnight houses were being carried away and tho people had barely time to escape with their lives. The loss was conservatively estimated at $100,000, but will probably far exceed this amount, for large warehouses belonging to the Alaska Commercial and other companies were carried away. After night, fell the water rose so fast that the residents had little time to carry their goods away, for they had to hurry to get away safely themselves. Recorder White cut a. hole through the roof of his office in order to get the records. Port Cudahy, across the river, and a few miles further down, was also flooded out, but as yet no details of the losses there, which are believed to be large, have been received. Hon. W. C. Wells, chief com^nis- sioner of lands and works, today met the lumbermen who objected to the enforcement of the law prohibiting export of logs to the American side. He practically p��romis<:!<l .that all logs at ^present cut iii booms would be allowed to be taken to Puget Sound, but after that the new law would become operative.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-05-27 |
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. |
