Hedley and secretary Goodeve all spoke on the question, some of them attacking the government and W. A. Galliher. S. S. Taylor resented the1 attacks on Mr. Galliher and the government, as even the Nelson Board of Trade did not know its mind on the subject for a long time and had made two distinct proposals. Fred Starkey said that the Nelson Board of Trade had been united on the subject for over two years now. He did not wish to blame Mi. Galliher in the matter. If senator TemplemaiAvas not sufficiently educated on the lead question, as a previous speaker had suggested, it was his own fault,-as he had been through the Kootenay district and was given all necessary information. The following resolution, moved by- S. S. Taylor and seconded by W. Irving, was carried unanimously; "Resolved, that this board of trade extremely regrets and protests against the apparent determination of the government in not granting this year-tariff_reform~~as~t6_lead and lead products,-particularly in view of the unanimous requests of allboards of trade and Liberal associations in Britishy Columbia, as well as of the silver-lead mine owners arid many boardB of trade in the Northwest territories and Manitoba, including the city of Winnipeg." ' NELSON SUCCESS CLUB. The gymnasium classes have been in full swing during the past week. Classes for men are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and for boys on Wednesdays and Fridays. Any member of the club wishing to, take a course of, instruction is urged to hand in his name at once, as applications will not be received after the 1st of May. The mock parliament will meet on Wednesday evening next to discuss Mr. Starkey's bill for. raising sufficient funds to construct a government railroad from Vancouver to the Skeena river. The government will also bring down a measure dealing with the educational policy. On Monday", the 4th of May, the last meeting of the mock parliament will be held, and will be open to the public. The house will then be prorogued until the fall. The quoit tourney was concluded last week. Mr. Horstead won the last match from Mr. Coppen by a score of 21 to 18 and was presented with a box of cigars by George Nunn. The prizes for the chess tournament are expected to arrive during the -eom- ing week. The club proposes giving a concert in the opera house towards the end of next month. crown grants that were prepared by an order-in-council for two blocks of land in Southeast Kootenay. The preparation of the crown grants was in pursuance of a deal entered into between certain members of the Dunsmuir government and George McL. Brown, the executive agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. The terms of the deal and the names of the members of the government making the deal , are not .known, but probably will be before another week passes. The deal was not in the best interests of the province, and it was not completed because,chief commissioner of lands and works Wells refused to deliver the crown grants, his refusal being based on the fact that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, .through its president, refused to carry out all the conditions of the deal. The land in question was to be giveii to the railway company as part* of the land that had been earned in building the Columbia &" Western railway, but is not within 200 miles of any of the land actually under reserve for that purpose, but it is supposed to be very valuable because of indications that it contains coal and petroleum. It is charged that the deal was a barefaced- attempt to evade the .provisions of the act granting the Columbia & Western railway a land subsidy,- and had it been consummated would have been of material advantage of certain members of the government, of certain members ,of the house,.and~ of certain high officials of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and a special committee of the | house J^. is;- -.riyw" investigating^Cthese charges' ~"r��� ~ ^ * - --���---'"���'--*"��� '*-- -i. ��.��-��-l The" mem'bers "or'the"" liouse" aresbacking premier Prior in his effort to' restore the land to the' province, and by restoring the land to the province the railwav company lose none of its rights under the Columbia & Western 'subsidy act. - Three million acres of land are now locked up within the limits of the.Columbia & Western reserve, and the lot-king up of so large an amount of land tends to make the people of Yale and Kootenay restive, and makes them ask why the railway company should not be compelled to make immediate selection of the land it has earned. The trouble heretofore has been that the Canadian Pacific Railway Com pany was the power behind the provincial government until colonel Prior assumed office, and it obtained everything it asked for. It has not made the selections from the land reserved for the purpose, but hopes by intrigue to ge't land somewhere else because of its greater value. Premier Prior will not stand for any such'methods, and rather than do so will resign office and leave the onus of allowing the Canadian Pacific-Rail way���Com pany-to -defraud-the province on the shoulders of tbe lieutenant-governor. The question now is, which is the stronger, the people through the legislature, or the Canadian Pacific railway. If the'bill as passed is assented to by the lieutenant-governor the people are the stronger; if assent is refused then the Canadian Pacific Railway Company is the stronger. THe budget speech will be delivered on Monday, and theRession is not likely to last more than two weeks longer. NELSON CITY COUNCIL. There was a full attendance at the council meeting on Monday, the mayor and all the aldermen being present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed, after a discussion about the measuring of short wood. James Johnstone and Fred Starkey attended as a deputation from the agricultural society. Mr. Johnstone -addressed the council, asking the council to surrender its rights to the city recreation grounds, now held under |lease from the C.P.R., in which case the C.P.R. would grant* a lease for five years to the agricultural society. If the lease was obtained it was the intention to put in a race track and.improve Corporation of thejity of Nelson. FINAL NOTICE.

By order. 0. C. McMORRIS, City Clerk. Nelson, April 25, 1903. There Is No Friction. The Nelson Boat Club wish it understood that there is no friction between the club and the celebration committee, nor is the boat club defunct. The club prefer to stand aside this year, leaving the whole celebration to land sports, in the hope that in 1906, when tbe annual N.P.A.A.O. regatta will beheld in Nelson, the citizens will join with the boat club in making that regatta an unqualified success and an advertisement of Nelson's natural advantages. Mayor York of Slocan has resigned and leaves for Edmonton shortly. the buildings. It was not intended to make any charge for practice games of any kind, but on s->ec*i-il occasions thc agricultural society would want say 10 per cent of the gate receipts. Alderman Irving said that if the city's rights were to be surrendered there must be some agreement that the interests of the various athletic clubs would he protected. The lacrosse club had brought teams in at great expense and he thought had a hard time to meet the expenses. Alderman Bird, Hamilton, Kirkpatriek und Gilker spoke to the same effect. Mr. Starkey explained the position further, saying that the agricultural society were working with members of the other clubs, who all wanted a race track put iu. They wanted to work amicably with all athletic clubs. Alderman Selous said there were four athletic clubs using the ground free. They had between them spent a large amount of money and much time and labor improving the present ground. We must hear from the representatives of the clubs and must conserve their interests.,^ The mayor and alderman Irving were appointed a committee to meet representatives from each of the athletic clubs aud the agricultural society and report at the next meeting of the council. The report of the finance committee was read aud adopted! It called for the payment of $1,300 for current accounts and recommended the insurance of the. city hall for $3,000 and thefurni- ture for $1,0.0. ' ',T -> - . The report of the auditor for the quarter ending'March 31st- was read. The .total receipts*were $20,012.88; the. disbursements, $30,588.11; excess of expenditure over receipts, $12,575.23. It was explained that the large amount of expenditure over receipts was caused by.the payment of-the sinking fund and interest due for 1902. The report was referred to the finance committee for consideration. Alderman Selous presented a petition on behalf of the Nelson-Boat Club .for a lease of the foreshore now' occupied by the approach-to the .club house. Letters were also read asking for leases of the land occupied by them, from Elliot & Hale, Astley,& Co,',-and the'Yale- Kootenaylce, Fuel & Poultry,Co. "��� _>LMoved_hjz.:aldermHT)'-SfJ��iJ%���secori'lid- by" aldermanTCirkpatrick^ that a lease be granted to the boat club of 25 feet. Carried. ��� The city engineer was asked to report upon the sites required by Elliot & Hale and Astley & Co., the applications standing over-till next council meeting. The application of the ice company then came up. Alderman Bird objected to any lease being given for 20 years. The property might be very valuable by that time and might lie required for other purposes. Alderman Irving agreed and thought seven years was long i enough. Alderman Selous said this "lease would be considered as a precedent. There is no chance of any city council trying to cinch any occupiers of city land, but we ought to keep to shortjleases. Moved by alderman Bird, seconded liy al lerman Selous, that- no lease of the foreshore be granted for a longer period than seven years. Carried. Moved by alderman Selous, seconded by alderman Bird, that a lease be granted to the Kootenay Ice, Fuel & Poultry Co. for seven years at the nom- _inai_rental_of_$25_ppr_an n un_T__ Carried. Letters from D. McKay and Mr. Benson, asking for sidewalks, were referred to the board of Works. The action of the mayor in appointing J. O'Donnell to do the clerical work in the city, office during the absence of city treasurer Wasson was approved, and the city clerk was appointed acting city treasurer. The mayor then opened the tenders for the bridge in block 15. They were as follows: W. G. Gillett, $260; George Brown, .$275; A. McCtuiig, $248; John Toy, $285; John Hepburn, $240.50. Moved by alderman Irving, seconded by alderman Gilker, that Hepburn's tender, being the lowest, be accepted. Carried.- The city fire horses came up for discussion next. The council tried to saddle the mayor with this business, but the mayor, having a lively recollection of ex-mayor Fletcher's experience, declined without thanks. The curfew by-law passed its second and third readings, and alderman Hamilton gave notice that at the next council meeting he would ask for the by-law's final consideration and adoption. LOCATIONS OF PETROLEUM John Houiton Introduces Bills to Place Them Under nineral Act. "Special to .The Tribune" Victoria, "April 25.���John Houston, of Nelson, introduced the following bills yesterday and they were read a first time. The first bill reads as follows: 1. This act mav be cited as the "Petroleum Claim Xnt 1903." 2. A petroleum or other mineral oil claim may be located on any unoccupied crown land, or ou any crown granted land in which the crown has reserved the petroleum rights, by any person authorized to enter on "and- locate a" mineral claim under theN provisions of the "Mineral Act'' and amending acts and any such petroleum or other mineral oil claim shall be located, worked and held under, the provisions of tlie "Mineral Act" and amending acts; provided all such claims are located and recorded as "Petroleum Claims.''. The second bill reads: 1. This act may be cited as the "Coal MineB Act Amendment Act 1903." 2. Section 2 of chapter 137 of the Revised Statutes 1897, being the "Coal Mines Act" is hereby amended by striking out the words" "or petroleum" in the first, third and fifth lines thereof. 3. Section 5 of said act is hereby amended by striking out the-words "and one cent per barrel on all petroleum" in the fourth line of sub-section (B) aud by.striking out the'words "or petroleum" in the second /and third lines of said snb-section (D). - 4. Section 7 of-said ,act is hereby amended by striking out the words "or petroleum" in they second and third lines of sub-sect ion(A) of said section. This bill will provide those amend-_ merits necessary to "remove the location and operation of ' petroleum chums from the Coal Mines Regulation Act, and in order that they may come under the' regulations of the first a_ct here v recited. ��� INTERESTING nORTQAQE DECISION. - We print" below - a recent :decision made in this province on the question of preferential mortgage given ^by an insolvent debtor to a bank. , The decision of the court confirms the right of a debtor sp to do.

This, in the long run, will be far more acceptable than the present condition of things, which allows a judgment to hang over a man all his life. A more monstrous statebf affairs does not exist in any land having pretentions to civilization. It has prostituted business in Canada by either driving unfortunate ��� debtors out of the country, doing business in wife's name���avowedly in many cases with the intention of getting even with creditors���and generally lowering the morale ofthe business world. Fraudulent bankruptcy should be punished, but unfortunate debtors should be spared the humiliation of a life mortgage in favor of a debtor who, in the majority of cases, never expects to realize, yet hold on with the Micawber attitude "that something "may turn up" and incidentally treats the account as "possibly collectible." The Kootenay Brewing & Malting Company, bdngjn^bted_to__the__Bank_ "of Montreal7tbe bank insisted on receiving a mortgage covering the company's property and an assignment of their book debts, and also obtained a judgment against the concern. Another creditor then'brought an action against the bank to set aside, the mortgage, as- Bignmentand judgment, on the grounds that (1) tbe mortgage was voluntary and fraudulent; (2) that it was a preference in favor of the bank; (3) that it was not executed ftB required by company law; (4) that the assignment was void, for the same reason and also as being in contravention of section 80 of the Bank Act, which provides that no higher rate of interest or discount than seven per cent shall be recoverable by a bank; and (5) that the judgment was also fraudulent and void. The judge at the trial in British Columbia, affirmed by the supreme court of this province, held that as there was good consideration for the mortgage, nnd as it was given under pressure, il ought not to be set aside, although it (omprised the whole of the brewing company's property, and was given nt- a time when the debtor was in insolvent circumstances to the knowledge of the bank, and had the effect of depriving other creditors of being paid their claims. It was also held that the mortgage, which had been made by the directors without proper authority, had been legally ratified by a subsequent resolution of the shareholders of the company. The creditor then took an appeal to Ottawa, but the supreme court also affirmed the validity of the securities obtained by the bank. (32 Supreme Court Records 719, Adams vs. Bank of Montreal.) W.

SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1903 In these days of severe political contention it is pleasant to note the attitude of the government element in our midst towards the powers- that be at Ottawa on the silver-lead question. The ability to rise higher than party call, when the immediate' interest of a district is at stake, is to enlarge the political horizon and to cement that unity of purpose so essential", nay vital, if the people of., this district are ever to obtain practical recognition of this question. The reference made by the leader of the opposition in his speech on the budget to the present state of the silver- lead industry in this province, empha sizes thejlisgracefjnLintiifference-of-the Laurier government to the requests of this district in the matter. After a ceaseless agitation extending over two years, consisting of petitions and deputations composed of men vitally interested, after repeated ministerial promises that some action would lie taken, this district has been unmistakably betrayed, and we have to content ourselves with a stone in place of'bread. We shall await' with grim impatience any explanation our member may see fit to make. The fact that the government is supporting the steel industry of the Dominion to the extent of .$7 a ton, argues that certain industries, apparently, re- quire fostering. It will be contended that the silver-lead industry is equal in importance to the Sault Ste. Marie and Sydney enterprises, albeit the immediate interest of the Ottawa government is not as active with us tin with the fascinating financial personality of the powers behind the Ontario and Nova Scotia propositions. The provincial parliament, by unanimously* passing the resolution-on" the silver-lead question proposed by John Houston, urging upon the federal authorities immediate action in behalf of the silver-lead industry, has placed itself oii, record with the whole of British Columbia. This resolution should have great weight with the Dominion parliament, and, fortified with this and the many resolutions which will he sent to him in the next few assistance of the days, with the members from B. C. ami of those members of the liouse who have by their travels in British Columbia made themselves acquainted with its requirements on the subject in question, the member for Ynle-Kootenay should-have no great difficulty in having some immediate measure of relief introduced. Mr. Galliher should, if the desired aid is still withheld, bring the matter before the house. The men he represents require that immediate action should be taken on this question, irrespective of party. The tariff on Bteel can be changed at once to suit Eastern people, but the West must wait indefinitely before the tariff on lead can be changed. If a satisfactory tariff arrangement was made the Kootenay district would employ 10,000 men where the steel industry employs 3,000 or 4,000. The man in B.C. pays tbe Dominion government in taxation over five times as much as the steeLworker-in-the-EastT - Tbe people of the Kootenay district have every resist in to be satisfied with the support given by the press, boards of trade, and meetings of citizens throughout the province on the-lead quest on. The feeling of the whole province is distinctly one of dissatisfaction with the Ottawa government, and the Liberal papers point this out frequently in'even stronger terms than papers which usually oppose tbe government. W. A. Galliher should,'with the assistance of the British Columbia members, make a strong fight before the supplementary budget is brought down. Relief must be given, and given at once, if the government wish to retain the confidence of those who now call themselves their friends. asking for relief. Relief they must and will have, and there is no intention of waiting until next year for it. The proposed tariff changes brought foiward by Mr. Fielding are not many. The following is one of them: "The "governor-in-council may, by order-in- "council, direct that a duty of $7 per "ton shall be imposed in schedule A on "all iron and steel railway bars, or rails "in any form, for railways, imported "into Canada, and from and after the "publication of such order in the Can- "��da Gazette, such duties shall be lev- *'ie-l, collected and paid on all such 'rails." The government, notwithstanding repeated assurances given to members of the various deputations and also to private individuals that they understood and sympathized with the difficulties under which the lead industry in the West Kootenay and rilocan districts was placed, owing to the low price for lead which was received under the present U. S. tariff, say: We cannot do anything to help you���we*cannot alter the tariff; perhaps, however, we may be able to give an increased bonus. As the above change in the tariff on steel rails shows, this is a mere subterfuge. The government would change the tariff quickly enough if British Columbia's voting power was stronger. The question of right evidently does not enter into consideration. The resolution eome to by the joint committee representing the city council, agricultural society and the athletic clubs of the city is in the best interests of tbe city of Nelson. . The council having full control, all wanting to use the grounds for sports, shows, etc., will have no difficulty in making arrangements on a reasonable basis, and each club can have control of the grounds on special days by mutual agreement. If the control was in the hands of any committee, however public-spirited its members, disagreements might t��ke place and ill-feeling be engendered, whereas tbe council, retaining control, will ultimately decide'any differences of opinion, and, by fostering a spirit of rivalry between the v-irious clubs, "pro-- mote .the well-being of( all athletic gaTiTe"8~fo��� the-' beneli t" oft lie" "ci ty "a 11 d district generally. ���_,- The member for Yale-Kootenay is evidently bestirring himself with-regard to the lead tariff. In reply to a telegram from the mayor of Rossland, he said: "Wish resolutions regretting inactivity of 'government, respecting lend tariff and urging (lieni to take some.action to afford relief to the industry." There is no doubt that Rossland will send strong resolutions on tin subject, and by this time the government should have found out that the | people of this province are united in By the death of Sir Oliver Mowat, Ontario loses a statesman of which any country might be proud. He was premier of Ontario for 24 years, and fought the fight of-the province as against the Dominion government to the bitter end, bis views being always upheld" by the privy council. British Columbia at the present is sadly in need of a Sir Oliver JMowat. City of Trail After More Water. An application by the corpoialion of the (Jity. of Trail for a record of li'O inches of water to be taken out of Kock creek, in the Trail creeK mining division, was heard before R. A. Renwick, assistant commissioner of lands and works, at "Nelson last week. The City of Trail was represented by its solicitor, J. A. Macdonald, of Rossland; W. J. Devitt, city clerk; Nolile Binns, ex- mayor; and ,]._ D. Anderson, P.L. S. The application was contested by the War Eagle and Centre Star mining companies, who have an application pend ingJ)efore_the_gpl_Lco tn njissioner- af Rossland for a record of water out of Hock creek. These companies were represented by their solicitor, A. C. Gait, and Ernest A. Strout, engineer. The City of Rossland, which holds a record in respect to this creek, was represented by .7. L. G. Abbott, solicitor. After taking of the evidence, which lasted for over five hours, a decision was reserved, awaiting the transcript of the shorthand notes of the evidence.

I. came across an interesting document the. other day, a regular mind twister, sort of mathematical gymnastics���the balance sheet of the steel trust. We have grown accustomed to the nine- figure balance sheets of the three giant New York insurance companies; this one has ten figures, and shows total assets of $1,546,000,000. The gross sales last year footed up to 560,000,000, while the net income was $133,000,000. Tbe concern employs 168,000 hands and has apavrollof $121,000,000. It is interesting to note above all else that the giant corporation has 53,629 shareholders, a fact that will be used by the defenders of the corporation system against the attacks of the socialistic element. It would be interesting to know how many small shareholders there are, say having $100 or less invested. Whether this octopus has reached thc apex of commercial expansion under one management, remains to be seen. It is conceivable that further extensions and appropriation will tend towards top-heaviness and sow the _seed8"of"internal"clecay. - More respect should attach to the fire bell of this city. The immunity from fires we have enjoyed for some time past, together with lire drills at frequent intervals, tyive graduallybrought the average mind into con tempt .for its call. Tbe result is that when it docs ring a few people start, running, while the majority look at each other and take it for .granted that it is being rung for a firemen's practice only. This was illustrated the other day at the saw mill fire; quite a number were disillusioned only by the cloud of ���moke and many never even left their work. One of our esteeni'-d citizens actually was instrumental in having the bell rung for the public meeting on Saturday. Metaphorically, no doubt, the town was on fire with indignation over the silver- lead question, but the desecration of the fire bell for the occasion is open to debate. Strictly, the bell should be rung only in case of a real fire; practice can be done by call. If this is carried out the sound of its peal will leave no doubt in the minds of citizens that there is a fire and that help may be needed.

The New York Journal has evolved the largest advertising scheme of the day. It is called the "Summer Vacation Guide," and the first number was ,. published last year in connection with a Sunday issue of the Journal in May. It comprised a 48-paga, supplement brimming over with a mass of details- relative to travel, where to go, how to go, when to go, where to stop, etc., and was evidently a huge success, inasmuch tis the guide this year, which is to be published on May 24th, will have an additional supplement of 24 pages. The value as au advertising medium can be judged by. the fact that the regular Sunday issue of the Journal is 800,000; in addition to this, a further extra edition of the Guide of 300,000 will be printed for distribution at the various offices of the New York Journal and American system of information bureaus. Further, an_attractive advertisement will be kept7going ail the summer in the Hearst syndicate ot papers: New York Journal, Chicago American, and San - Francisco Examiner, setting forth the value of the guide to the tourist, sportsman, and land hunter, and that it can be had for the asking. ,,,-=- + The proposition is interesting to us , up here, inasmuch as we claim to have natural scenic attractiveness around this city. We are further desirous of getting our share of the travel which will assuredly come this way in the summer and early fall, .and therefore any suggestion that will help in this direction should be favorably received. The' forthcoming pamphlet to be issued by the Kootenay Tourist Association will do good workv and it might pay the association' to Insert an advertisement in this Vacation Guide, drawing attention' to the attractiveness of this district, and offering to send a copy of the booklet on application. Space of any. quantity can be bought for this great edition, as the rates run from a - minimum of $3 to a maximum of $30, so the undertaking should he "within the means of the association, as it is of any private concern having an eye to the cash value of the tourist. A good many people look upon propositions of this kind with suspicion; any who may be that,way inclined should remember the words ascribed to Lincoln about fooling the people, and that it is hardly likely that-intelligent business people of the smartest city in the world will be fooled by the fantastic statements oi Mr.^Hearat. In these days there would seem to be-no limit to intelligent publicity, and this "summer guide maLter is worthy of* consideration.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1903-04-25 |
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. |
