THE TRIBUNE IS THE OLDEST NEWSPAPER PRINTED IX THE KOOTENAYS Saturday June 27\ 1903 NELSON IS THE TRADE CENTER OF SOUTHEASTERN BRITISH COLUMBIA ' FIFTEEN FURNACES AND STACKS ARE SMELTING KOOTENAY AND BOUNDARY ORES SENSATIONAL NEWSPAPER REPORTS REGARDING THE COAL AND 01 LANDS IN SOUTHEAST KOOTENAY Away back iu 1889, prospectors then resident on the main line of the Canadian Paciflc at Field discovered petroleum iu Southeast Kootenay. Tlie crude oil was tested on C. P. R. locomotives at Vancouver and pronounced a good grade. Southeast Kootenay was then inaccessible, tlie nearest railway being the Northern Pacific. From time to time since 1889, prospectors have been through that country, and many locations of petroleum claims have been made; but the policy;of tlio provincial government seems to havo been uniformly to refuse all applications for licenses. Last year prospectors made another and most presisteut effort to, not only secure licenses for prospecting for petroleum, but for coal also. The efforts of these men to secure recognition brought about the Columbia & Western investigation, an investigation that wrecked a government. Although the men applying for coal and petroleum prospecting,'licenses managed to wreck a government, they have not been able, so far, to secure the issuance of licenses to prospect the coal and oil lauds they have staked. In the above bare facts are outlined, The Tribune having no wish, at this time,*Tto criticise either the applicants or the [government ; but it may be stated, for the general information of those who'Jhave made application for prospecting licenses in Southeast Kootenay, that no one man or syndicate will be specially favored. The present government has not made a deal with any man or syndicate for any consideration, either political or monetary. When tho election is over the question will be dealtwith. In the meantime, little attention need paid to such articles as the following which appeared in a recent issue of tho Spokesman-Review, for they are only sensational: "Spokane mining men and speculators will be millionaires if they can get Kootenay coal lands." That is the headline that the Vancouver News-Advertiser puts on an excerpt from the Spokane Spokesman-Review, which detailed how Andrew Laidlaw had been busy since March staking land for Spokane people. The Van couver World also takes the matter up, but it is on the side of the locators of the laud. Tlio former newspaper opines that these "alien speculators" will never get these lauds "tor a mere fraction of their potential value," while the World declares that the government has a scheme to keep tho legitimate stokers and tenderers from getting the property and opening up the country. Altogether a pretty squabble is again on over the lands that caused the disruption of the Prior government. The News-Advertiser refers to the American applications as "a scheme managed in a very insidious manner," and it regrets that a provincial newspaper��� meaning the World, of course���"is apparently abetting the nefarious transaction." The secret of the matter is that now when party lines have been drawn the News-Advertiser, which used to oppose McBride, has, as a party organ, to support the new Conservative premier. The paper declares that the Spokesman- Review article "lets a flood of light" on the "honest prospector" whom the other paper accused the government of trying to do out of his locations "in favor of the Canadian Pacific railway." There is a suggestion that is publicly talked of, that. "premier McBride has taken it upon himeslf and his government ito withhold all recognition of the legitimate rights of locators and others interested iu blocks 4593 and 4594, East Kootenay, to the end that a further attempt on the part of the Canadian Pacific railway to secure possession of these extra valuable lands may be facilitated. In return the railway company will be looked to by the new government to finance the campaign now at hand." That is the charge made by the World, and it directly concerns the Spokane people who have made locations. It is suggested that the company has, by manipulation, merely substituted a compliant figure for colonel Prior. The explanation of ; the premier and chief commissioner of lands and works is that.the government has decided- to deal in no manner with the lands of blocks 4598 and 4594 for the present. "On the other side," if the expression may be used, it is explained that since sir Thomas Shaughessy has stated that it is his company's intention to seek the intervention ��� of the Dominion in setting aside the legislation contained in act 10 of the just ended session, ratifying the cancellation of the grants, and the government is disposed to do all within its power to facilitate such appeal to the federal authority, instead of doing all within its power to support and defend the provincial position against the corporation attack. A Big Bead Gold Property. C. O. Flynn of Duluth, Minnesota, says the Revelstoke Mail, who has been on a visit to the property of the McCullough Creek Hydraulic Company in which he is interested, has returned to Revelstoke. He is very favorably impressed with the prospects of the property, and says Mr. Sibbald is makiiig great headway in preparing the plant for operations, though badly handicapped by delay in getting supplies through. There are sixteen men employed on the work. A portion of the piping is now in place and the balance is being packed in from Downie creek. Mr. Sibbald is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the sawnrill plant in order to get lumber for building the flume; Big Pay-Roll for May. The pay-roll of the Crow's Nest Coal Company for the inouth of May was: Michel mines $43,156.50, Coal Creek $42,- 950.80, aud Morrissey $29,097; total f 115,- 230.80. This is $10,000 more than was ever paid out by the Company in any previous month. ���--.- '��� TnelProcter Coal Mines. T. G. Procter is in from his coal mines, which are situated* a imile or so west of Frank, Alberta. Before the disaster occurred that put 'the Frank mines out of business, the Canadian Pacific could not be induced to take* coal from the Blair more mines, but now the company, seeing that the thousand tons a day supplied by Frank have been cut off, is willing to take coal from anyone who can supply it. The Procter mines at Blairmore are handicapped, however. The mines are a quarter of a mile or so from the railway, and the coal is hauled, to the cars on wagons. This eats up the profits, and although tho shipments are only about an eighth of what they would be had the mines shipping facilities, yet the mines are paying their way, while needed development work is being done. Fifteen Furnaces Running, The charge that the Crow's Nest Coal Company is discriminating against Brt-i isbColubmia smelters in shipping them coke should not be taken as gospel truth. While the Le Roi smelter at Northport, which is a town just soutli of the international boundary line and on a branch of the Great Northern railway, is running all its six furnaces, that smelter is not drawing nil of its supply of coke from tlie Crow's Nest Coal Company.; but, instead, is receiving coke from different places in the United States. On thc other hand, the smelters in British Columbia are dependent on tho Crow's Nest company for all their coke. Yesterday the smelter at Trail had two of its three copper furnaces running, but its three lend stacks are closed down. At the Granby smelter at Grand Forks, tliree of tlie four copper furnaces were running. The Mother Lode smelter at Greenwood had its two copper furnaces running.'"The' smelter at Boundary Falls had ouo of its two furnaces in operation. Tlie smelter at Nelson has one stack running on lead ore. The nine' furnaces> and stacks in British Columbia and the six furnaces at Northport require about 500 tons of coko a day. That fifteen furnaces and stacks even are kept running on ore mined in the Kootenaj*s and in the Boundary country is evidence that mining is still one of British Columbia's industries. Men Prominent in Business and Politics Were Prize-Wfaning Athletes in 1892 ���-.' . o ..'*-'''.- - .���-.'...������ - .���-.',-'".-���., Party of Canadian Engineers are Re-Defining The International Boundary Line at Rykerf s A party "consisting" of '"major W. F. O'Hara, D. L. S-, iu charge: J. M."Bates, engineer-and photographer; W- Maxwell Tobey, engineer, and Thomas Davies, engineer, with packers, cooks, seventeen horses, and a full camp outfit, were camped at Creston for a week, making general preparations for proceeding with the marking and brushiug out of. the international boundary line as defined some forty-three years ago by a British and United States commission, under the command of colenel Hawkins, R. E. (of the British) and Archibald Campbell, C. E. (of the United States). This commission ended their labors at the mouth of Boundary creek, about four and a half miles from Port Hill, Idaho. A boundary stone is standing on the left hand side of the Nelson & Bedlington railway, surrounded by a triangular cairn of stones, while the other stands about a mile up Boundary creek, on its left band bank. These were the last boundary stones erected by the boundary commission of 1860. Then- work at this point was arrested by the inability to obtain supplies, the men of the ^coinmJ^qii^l-^g^re^i^eiLto^eating^the, berries which grew in abundance on the flats and slopes of the Kootenay valley, which fact has given the name to the berry known commonly as the "service" berry. Attached to the British commission were captain Hawkins, R. E., chief astronomer, and lieutenant Anderson, R. E,, assistant to colonel Hawkins, as well as a skilled botanist and naturalist, whose name your correspondent forgets, but who has written and published an interesting account of his observations. It is commonly reported about the boundary line at Port Hill that the lino was not determined by instrumental means between the stones on either side of the valley, but that it was approximately settled upon by both commissions at the time, viz., 1860. The present party_in the field, taking the boundary^stonejit Port .-'. Hill as a starting point, wtti,_by'means of "eT-system of -THshgulatioif,: endeavor -to connect this stone with one twenty-five miles to;the eastward,-and by the same system determine the heights of the mountains intervening, and with the aid of photography, make au accurate topographical; survey, as well. It has been commonly supposed that this commission has been readjusting the boundary line, but this is an error.'. They are simply going over the "former work brushing out the line,- marking the monuments, and making topographical surveys. The only new work will be in laying out the boundary line between the last monument on Boundary creek and the boundary stone twenty-five miles to the eastward, which has not yet been determined. This work will take up the Whole of the present summer. On Tuesday last the commission broke camp, the baggage and members of the party proceeding to Port Hill by train, while the pack horses proceeded to the same destination by trail. During their work Port Hill will be their base of supplies. The American Commission is at present in the vicinity of Tobacco ^Plains^where-they^have-been-much-de��� layed iu their work by the recent floods. A meeting of Conservatives will be held here today (Saturday) for the purpose of organizing a Liberal-Conservative association. Creston was visited on Monday last by R. A. Renwick, government agent for the Nelson district. He was here to acquaint himself with this portion of his district. Like the boundary commission, he believes in making an ocular topographical survey of thoso parts of his district in which public moneys are to be expended. Creston has been well treated in the distribution of provincial woi-k and money grants. The water, which has lately flooded this part of the valley, is now steadily falling. Two feet of a fall was the record on Tuesday.! On Wednesday and Thursday of next week Dominion Day will be regularly celebrated at Nelson for the twelfth time. The first regular celebration was in 1891, although an informal effort was made the year before. Since 1891, the Dominion Day celebrations at Nelson are admitted to have been good; so good that remarks are now often made at distant places by men who happened to be in Nelson during one or the other of these celebrations to the" effect, that Nelson surpassed any town they had ever been in for its natal day celebrations. There was no regular celebration last -year, on account of the regatta: of the North Pacific Boating Association being held here; but this year there will be a celebration that will be the equal of some of the old-time ones. Secretary Starkey and the members of the different committees have the aiTange- ments.AvoU;.i?v hand, and.evei-ything.ivill, be" carried -"biit"according.- to, the/-'official progi-amnie; which' is now ready for distribution. Speaking of old-time celebrations at Nelson, The Tribune through the kindness of W. A. Jowett, secured a copy of The Miner of the date of July 9th, 1892, which gives a description of the celebration of that year and the names of the prize winners. Aniong the names of the prize winners will be found those of men now prominent in business and politics. "Bob" Green took a prize that year for vaulting with a pole, beating "Bobby" McLeod. The one "Bob" is minister of mines in the provincial government and the other "Bob" .is a mining capitalist, resident in Seattle. "Al" Tregillus, one of the proprietors of the Tremont hotel, was an all-round sport in those days, as the list of prize winners shows. T. A. Mills, now a clerk in the office of the court registrar, was a standing jumper; and H. H. Pitts, an ex-mayor of Sandon, but now a resident of Nelson, could hop-step-and-jump with the best of them. Horse racing was a feature of the 1892 ��celebration,��-and="Wilson's=black"won= many a dollar for his backers. He was ridden by Mexican Juan* who was one of the best all-round riders ever seen in Nelson. Tho introduction to the celebration article in The Miner was written by David B. Bogle, who is now editor of the Victoria Colonist. David was a green Scotchman in 1893. He is still a Scotchman, but no longer green. The Miner article is given in full below, and its reading will be appreciated by hundreds of. old-time miners and prospectors who still read The Tribune: The question as to how royalty was saluted in the days before gunpowder or dynamite was invented is shrouded iu the darkest kind of mystery. Did the celebration committees of those days engage a man with cast iron lungs and a brass throat to let out-21 yells? Did they shoot 21 arrows into the air? or did the chairman of the committee bang an old coal-oil tin with a walking stick the required number of times? It'is as difficult to answer these question as it is to give a satisfactory reply to the query, "Why is a bald headed eagle like a writing desk?" Whichever method of salute was in vogue in those days must; have been attended with considerably less danger than was the case on Friday morning, July 1st, when 21 dynamite cartridges were exploded inclose proximity to 1000 pounds of giant powder, much to the expressed disapproval of its owner, who happened . to be sleeping the sleep of v the jnst right on top of the powder in question. "'< After being shaken out-of bed at six minutes past four, it was not much use trying to get asleeft again before the Nelson started for Ainsworth.

J The pyrotecnic display in the evening was one of the most brilliant things of the kind we have ever seen, and, as is unfortunately usually the case was not unattended with danger. The operator, whilst discharging the only rocket he had, was so much afraid of losing sight of it that he held on to the stick until he was lifted 6 or 8 feet from the ground, when his hand was so "badly burned that he was reluctantly compelled to leave go, and return to Baker street after a short but important business trip to the empyrean. The Roman candle and the bunch of firecrackers were let off without further mishap. The morning ol the Second was ushered in by another salute, which, however, had none of the disastrous effects of its predecessor. People were so tired with thc exertions of the First that it was noon before the programme for the day was commenced. Shortly after the 'arrival of the Spokane the 100 yards race came off, Falconer winning in a canter. ��� After lunch came the horse racing. Campbell's Buck and Wilson's Jim Beat- tie were the favorites, but Wilson & Perdue's Black���last year's favorite, with Juan, the Mexican tip, came out ahead on the first heat. This horse also came in first on the7 second heat, but the heat, owing to disobedience to the starter's flag, was called off. When at length they got a fair start, Black again won and took the prize, Buck passing the post d.-:-head> behind. The balance of the field never had a show. Perdue's chestnut, a; fiery five- year-old, with careful training, should do something next year. The steeple-chase was called off owing to there being too few entries. The slow mule race���and they wore genuine thoroughbred slow mules ��� was won 03- iSproule's Jim. _., _ ...a--.-. > -It*v?a_ found to be impossible .to finish 'the programme before dusk, so the boat- racing was omitted, and, after supper, as many events as possible were worked off. The firemen's ball opened at about 9:.0 with the grand march. The room had been most tastefully decorated, and it is due to the unremitting care of the dancing committee that the dance turned out to be the most brilliant and enjoyable that has been given in Nelson. Over fifty couples took part and enjoyed a capital supper served by Charles Phillips at 12 midnight. The celebration throughout was most successful,-the only drawback being the dampness of the 1st.

On Wednesday last, says the Camborne Miner, W. B. Pool and associates made the first payment on the Old Homestead group of free-gold claims which they have taken on a working bond. The group consists of the Old Homestead, Idaho, and Detroit groups, comprising in all twelve claims. Specimens of quartz taken from the Homestead by Mr. Pool shows visible free-gold in liberal quantities. Slocan Mines Still Shipping;. The Slocan mines aro not doing much, but they have shipped 6*500 tons of ore since January 1st. ' Last week tlie following shipments were made : Blue Bird 20 tons, Enterprise 25, Ivanhoe 21, Payne 42; total for the week, 108 tons. About One Hundred Men Employed. W..C McLean of Nelson was over in' the Similkameeu country recently and reports that section of the province badly iu need of a railway. Ranchmen can mar ket stock, but little else, as the local mar,-; ket for farm produce is limited. The' town of Princeton is quiet and nothing is' I doing at Ashnola. At Hedley City there,,; is much activity. The owners of. the5" fa- ' mous Nickle Plate mine are building a 40-'- stamp mill, and it is said to be their in-' teution to put in cyanide works immedi-. ately the mill is completed. A number of Nelson and Kaslo men are working for- '��� the mining company. W. A. McLean-1 has charge of excavation work for the' j flume and D. J. McNally is in charge of yl construction work at tho mill, and Jake T Searson, Cole Murchison, Steve McKay, Harry Swan, and othersare working A under them. About 100 men are'employed altogether. At ��� Keremos' the ranchmen had - commenced cutting hay. Should Not Be Encouraged. /'-; Henry Roy is at Ottawa, and for the,, last two ar three days a number of people *'J at Nelson have received letters from him!' The letters are all worded the same, and ' read as follows: - ��� Ottawa, June 18th, 1908 '���-, If the Dominion government will give"' a bounty of 11,000,000 on lead and $500,-", 000 on zinc, will it be satisfactory to you" I and your people. I have all hope we can ,51 get that if yon wire me satisfactory. Yours truly, ' Henby Roy." '-;1 Mr. Roy is no doubt a well-meaning �� man, but he, like Smith Curtis of Ross-"." land, labors under the delusion that he is'1 the only Moses who can lead the people "of" Kootenay to success. However, he does" not represent the views of the people '.of 'J Kootenay who are working to bring about. 1 better conditions in the silver-lead* min-,;] ing and smelting industries, and no, at-4 tention should be paid to his communica-yi.. tions. The interests affected have>dele-'V| gates at Ottawa and their efforts will onlyfl be nullified if individuals" like* Roy* are}H given any encouragement. A house * __-" \ vided against itself cannot stand.''' -���'�����,-, 41 Both Political Parties Getting Down to Work -; Liberal Nominations at Vernon arid Slo^nl '"ThVplatforins'of, political"parties contain planks 011 what should be done regarding railways, coal mines, pulp land leases, reforesting timber areas, etc., etc., but not a word about such practical questions as how estates in liquidation could best be conserved for the benefit of creditors, and not for the benefit of lawyers. A little over a year ago an industrial establishment in Nelson that paid out on au average $1200 a month in wages alone was put in the bauds of a liquidator. Had it been handled in the best interest of the creditors, they would have ere this been paid one hundred cents on the dollar. But to have done so would not have been in the best interests of the lawyers. A rapid realization on assets and quick disbursements of moneys on hand to creditors means small pickings for the legal fraternity. The legal fraternity manipulate the courts, aud the courts allow matters to drift so that the lawyers get the maximum and the creditors the minimum of estates in liquidation. The liquidator of the industrial enterprise re- =fewed___^iii_t_____u_Liclo_^ sand dollars in cash in bank, yet a man who went that industrial enterprise's security for $3000 at a bank is compelled to give up his home in order to satisfy thc bank's claim, while thc bank's actual debtor has money undistributed in another bank. This is an object lesson of how people are buncoed iu British Columbia by lawyers Mith the aid of the courts. Yet, if a reform was attempted, how thc lawyers would buck and squirm aud kick. In nearly every riding in the province lawyers are either actual or ex- *>cctant candidates of one or both of thc two parties who are contesting for supremacy, and if elected they will hike good care that few changes will bo made in laws that will in any way affect the graft of their profession. On Tuesday a convention of Liberals ������-r���. .��� rr.j.,at- i^M^JM assembled"'in Vernon to decide"' uponVa. candidate for the coming campaign. The. following delegates were present: From Vernon���S. C. Smith, Fred Billings,'and H. G. Muller. From Kelownar-^T.'.W. Sterling, W. McQueen, and J. Colin; from Spallumcheen���Dr. Offerhaus, J.; Bird, James Murphy, and T. W. Fletcher;.* from Mara���H. J. Johnson; from Ender-.% bury���W. H. Wright, R. Peel, and .W. ' Truesdale. The unanimous choice of the convention fell to T. W. Sterling, a well- known land prosperous rancher of Kel- owna, who accepted the position tendered him in a. graceful speech. Mr. Sterling lias for years been prominent in business affairs at Kelowna. The Liberals of Slocan riding, or per-' haps'.it-is only the Liberals of Slocan City, have asked R. A. Bradshaw of Slocan City to stand as the Liberal candidate for Slocan riding, and he has consented. Mr. Mr. Bradshaw is a merchant, and at the last municipal election in Slocan City was elected mayor by one vote over A. York, but had to resign because the hall in ���\vhich=thocity-did=its=business=l*elonged= to him. He is popular in Slocan City, and is considered a strong candidate. The Conservatives have several men in view, among others W. T. SL-atford and C. E. Smitheringole of Slocan Qity, William Hunter of Silverton, and W. S. Drewery of New Denver. Willi-un MacAdams may return to Sandon and run as a Labor party candidate. ;. There i.s a rumor in New Westminster y that J. C. Brown, instead of contesting7 New Westminster against Thoriws Gif-y. ford, iimy run for Richmond. J. B^ Kenr^jl uedy and F. W.

The Van-"' couver News-Advertiser is authority for the stntement that Mr. Howay will not enter the fight.

Our boys know that we have a bell which his worship the mayor has to warn boys when it is time to be off the streets, and I trust none of you will prolong your amusement to an unreasonable hour.

This special way of ��� dealing with lands iu Kootenay has .caused, and is causing, great. discontent, and the people of Kootenay are wonder- ling why this one section of the province 'that has always paid its way should he .singled out to he discriminated against. iThe land and mineral laws of the province are supposed to be general, in their application, and they should be so construed and enforced. The"; question then is, how do the parties that are asking the people for support stand on the, question of construing and enforcing the land and. -mineral laws? The Tribune'--can'state ���with positiveness that the Conservative party stands for construing both the land and mineral laws as they are in the statute-books ; not for the people pf one section of the province, but for the people of every section of the province alike.^-.Any- other construction or enforcement of the laws would be most unjust and most unfair. The Tribune can state with equal positiveness that the leaders of the Liberal party are individually on record as stating that if they are again given the opportunity to form a government that they will treafcertain lands in Kootenay in a special way; that lands that are supposed to be valuable shall be disposed of, not under the general laws of thc province, but under laws passed specially to deal with these particular lands. The Conservatives stand for giving every man, ': whether he be prospector or capitalist, an even chance to profit by his luck or his foresight. The Liberals, judging by the declarations of their leaders, would give the man with money all the advantage in acquiring land that is supposed to be valuable. Which party, then, would, if in power, be the most likely to hasten the 4level6prnent^of^Kootenay-?=-=It-is-up-tOr the electors to decide. passed by a legislature at Victoria, a majority of whom were Conservatives, not of a law passed by a parliament at Ottawa, in which the Liberals have a large majority. A clique of little lawyers in Nelson imagine themselves the Conservative party, and can stoop to low methods in order to win a point. For three months this clique have stated thnt the Conservative party in Nelson lias nominated a candidate to contest Nelson City riding, yet the Conservative party of Nelson has made no nomination, and will not make a nomination except in the regular way. John Houston, who represented Nelson riding in thc legislative assembly that wa.s dissolved on the 10th instant, has announced that he will be a candidate for nomination in a duly constituted convention, and his friends say he cau get the nomination with ease. The clique of lawyers who are opposing Houston know this, and are now causing a report to be circulated that he cannot qualify, even if he is elected. This is done for no other purpose than to influence electors against Houston, who, sioniehow, appears to be as well liked by the rank and file of the party as he is hated by the clique of little lawyers who imagine themselves the whole party. A correspondent of the Nelson Daily News, writing from Grand Forks; says: " Among the labor voters emphasis is laid " upon tho fact that no member- of the " government has at any time advanced " or assisted any measure for the bettor-" " ment of tho laboring class though op- '' portunities to do do so have been many. " To cOme forward on the eve. of an elec- " tion, as friends of the laboring���: man, " will receive that attention which hy- " pocricy merits." It is safe to say the writer of the words quoted above is a biased partisan;. who has not taken the trouble to investigate the records of Charles Wilson, Robert F. Green, captain Tatlow, and .Richard McBride on. questions that, affect the laboring men. of the province. Charles Wilson is opposed in Vancouver by the element who do not like laboring men, simply because he has 'appeared oh the platform on belialf "of laboring nien. Robert F-' Green ���' is.: being fought in his own constituency because, of the stand he took on the eight-hour law. Captain Tatlow has been most consistent in supporting labor legislation in the, house. These three members of the present government need uo defense of their respective records; Richard McBride, who is premier for the time, voted, *yye' believe, for every labor bill that was iu- trocVuced in the house. Legislation that really benefitted labor has not been secured by the "professional" friend of laboring men; but, instead, it has invariably been sectircd by men who are 'broad-, minded enough to legislate fpr all classes. The "professional" labor legislator is no. better than the "professional" corporation* legislator, and sometimes is even worse. i; Q_*___i i WE MANUFACTURE Aprons and Shirts, Overalls.

Trials Triumphs of Workingmen In 1900 there was a three-cornered contest, in Nelson riding. In-that contest .the expenses of two of the caiididates cauie out of the same campaign fund; a fund contributed by the Canadian;Pacific, the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company, and senator Cox of Toronto. WilT the' tactics of 1900 be repeated in 1903?** There is one man said to be willing to make the sacrifice as a candidate in the hopes of accomplishing the end that was desired in 1900, and he is backed by the men who had the handling of the C.P.R. et al cam- paignftmd in Nelson.in 1900.^ The Tri-. prejudice. The men who assaulted the editor of,,the Rossland Evening World because of the editor's remarks on "How the glorious fourth Syill be celebrated in Kirby.'s mining camp" are probably men who know nothing .of liberty, except the liberty-of showing themselves to be brutes on occasion; ' ' , THE GLORIOUS FOURTH The discovery of a process of tanning by means of which hides can be transformed into leather in a short time by the use of the X-ray is (lie result of four months of experimenting, and will be the first application of tlie X-ray to an industrial -use. The value ol* the invention consists in the exposition of tlie soaked hides to the rays. The present process of soaking tho hides iu vats requires about four months, so that the chemicals may penetrate every fiber of the skin. Under the new system the chemicals absorbed by the hides during the two hours' soaking are decomposed by the X-rays in less than half an hour. Every molecule is thoroughly penetrated, and tlie leather is as perfect as any tanned by the old process. Prominent and large tanning concerns and leather experts have tested the product, and say that it is the equal of any other leather. Tho branch of the British Columbia Steamshipmen's union of Victoria has gone out of business. While still in its swaddliug clothes, the union entered into a sympathetic strike, which brought about its destruction. Out of the wreck a new union is to be formed, on different lines. The experience gained in the strike will prove a valuable asset iu thc future. Less sentiment and more practical reasoning is badly needed in the younger labor unions. It is easy enough to enter into a quarrel, but a hard thing to come out of one without getting more or less hurt. As a union grows older and stronger, strikes with it become less frequent, due in a large extent to the business methods and tact used in dealing with employers. Experience has taught that the strike is costly, even if the union wins, and should not be resorted to till- every other nieaus has been exhausted. Some day trades unions will discover that the strike is as useless as it is primitive.' It matters not whether the strikers win; they always lose. On the other hand, if the employer loses he is bound to lose .financially, for it gives him the opportunity to increase the price of any commodity he has for sale. It would be an easy matter for an employer of Labor to acceed to the demands of organized labor for increased wages or a reduction in hours.' But he wont for two reasons. First, he offers objections piu-ely for the How- It ; Will ,, Be Qeleijuated in Kirbby's Mining Cahp. bune predicts the result in 1903 will be the same as it was in 1900.

Second, for the purpose of destroying or weakening organization. It is a noticeable fact that when a strike is successful, as in the case of tho coal miners' strike, we find the price of coal advanced somewhat. In view of the fact that tlie miner burns coal his victory is robbed of its success, as is also the pockets of thoso who did not strike or who were not benifitted by tho success of such strike. As a matter of fact, a successful strike is of benefit to the employer of labor and not a detriment, as is commonly supposed. Kansas City Fraternity No. 1, the first organization ever formed by "rat" printers, has disbanded, giving as the reason that the treasurer of the "international" body, who exists in Los Angeles, refuses to give a proper bond. The strenuous work of the Typographical Union is beginning to tell in the last of the Fraternity strongholds, and soon their existence will live only in memory. This is a branch of the organization which is causing the Typographical Union so much trouble with the Los Angeles Times. Sir John Brunner, M.P., has said at Liverpool that the wages paid in England were higher than in all the protectionist European countries. For every 100s. received by the English workmen the wages in France were 77s., and in Germany 78s., and the hours for the French and German workmen were half as long again as those of tho English workmen. It took the Frenchman 124 hours and the German 131 hours to turn out the same work that the English artisan did in 100 hours. Tho Chicago Typographical Union has taken steps to increase its members' benefits. Tho nuiou now sets aside $250 a mouth, from which sum every member who for twenty years has been a contributing member of the union, and is physically unfit for work, will receive a pension of #3 a week. c - ' The expression "baker's dozen," which is in point of fact 13, has a history. For a baker in the olden times to give short weight in bread exposed him to considerable penalties, and thus the custom arose of adding on extra loaf to the dozen as compensation for any possible deficiencies in tho result of the batch. The extra article was originally a safeguard to avert the chances of a heavy fine. In round numbers thero arc 2,000,000 organized workers in Great Britain. Tho Minors- Federation, numbering 830,000, carpenters (12,000, shoo operatives 28,000, boilermakers and iron shipbuilders 49,000, various brunches of weavers 90,000, several classes of laborers 100,000, and tlie Amalgamated Society of Engineers with 94,000 are among the strougor organizations. President James J. Hill of the Great Northern railway has given his opinion that the walking delegato and business agent between employer and men should be done away with, to facilitate the development of better conditions.

The recent utterances of lord Kelvin, president of the Royal Association for tho Advancement of Science, to tlio effect that scienco positively affirms creative power iu support of his description of a crystal being, as he avers, " the fortuit- i.ous concourse of atoms" or in other words the chauee coming together of these atoms, murks tho beginning of the end of the so-called conflict between religion and science. The statemeut coming from so learned a source is practically a surrender on the part of science to the inevitable acknowledgement that it cannot prove in a maimer acceptable to the present five senses, problems beyond a certain point. It is therefore forced to accept as a solution of these problems that whicli all religions havo from the beginning taught: that there is a creative force behind and beyond all aud of which the great German poet, indifferent to names said: "Fill thv heart with it, and name it as thou wilt." As a matter of fact there never has been a conflict between real religion and real science for thoy aro synonymous. Tho differences—bitter at times—have arisen in quite the saiuo maimer as all pther differences between men arise, through the fact that thoy'■ look at things through a glass darkly aiid as a consequence receive only the blurred impressions of the one truth. There can only be one truth oven as geometrically there is but one point in a circle—tho centre—which is mathematically equi-distant from all points ;of the circumference! If, as an illustration, the light of truth shone, forth from yonder peak and a multitude were to walk around the base of the mountain and asked 'to give their individual impressions of what they saw, they would vary according to the impression it made on their consciousness. The poet sees the sublime in the light of the setting sun, but the tiller of the soil alongside him merely a few colors, the impressions of the one are far- finer than those of the other. Therefore is it that we do not see our neighbor exactly as he is, we only translate into words the impression he makes on us; one man who may appear charming to me may impress my neighbor as akin to a "brute, yet he is;' the same to both. -, ..' ; This socalled conflict had its origin", iii the blurred impressions received by religion while interpretatiug sacred books. Science aroused antagonism through false deductions and shifting hypothesis. From this arose" a bitterness which spread over a number of years and alienated thereby from profitable intercourse, some of the finest minds. of the last century. -.. Some twenty-five 'years ago a remarkable' book was published on the'-subject. of " The' Conflict Between Religion and Science ",. by professor Draper. It was a well written treatise on the subject, bristling with sincerity albeit somewhat hard in its assertions ; it made quite a stir in church circles, and aroused1 the churches to pulpit action in orderCto sooth minds whose faith might have been undermined. . The title was unfortunately a poor one, for it was the cause of starting the "conflict" cry and as if to emphasize it, the pulpits fierablo took it as themes for seiinons inn with the lamentable result thaty got it well ingrained that science -wns-Sfe, bitter opponent of religion. Much of this feeling.has died away before more advanced thought, so that it is quite common nowadays to hear a scientific sermon from the pulpit and reference to matters religious at a scientific lecture. Iu approaching the subject of tho truo relation.between religion and science two definitions hero giveii: Religion as defined by Newman, is the kuowledgo of God, His will and our duties towards Him. Science i.s defined as that knowledge gained by observation, experiment and reasoning. The knowledge of God is au elastic phrase and runs all the way. up from the anthromorphic conception of: Him as a? personal; boing endowed with passions like mankind and more inclined to vent His wrath than His love, a conception that lias been the means of driving a large number of people from the churches into .muddy indifference on religious matters. Between this and the following transcendent conception there all kinds: *"' •'■'..- "•" KnQw too from Me .■ Shineth the gathered glory of the suns Which lighten all the world; from me tho moons Draw silvery beams,-and,11 re lierceloyliness. I penetrate the clay, aiid'lend allshapes Their living force; 1 glide'into' the plant- Root leaf and bloom—to make the woodlands green ~- With springing sap. The analogy between religion and science to become intelligent must embody the philosophic statement that behind all and in all that wo come in contact with by way of the senses is ','Fixed a ppwer divine which move's to "good/'' 'From this is deducted the existence of life and form. Life the creator and sustainer. Form as seeiiin the multifaiious manifestations in the universe from an atom to a planet. In " The Ancient Wisdom" we find the idea thus expressed:, "Matter is form and there is no form-which does not express a life; spiJit is life and there is no life thnt is not limited by form." This simple statement is the key which unlocks the door to the comprehension of the true relation between tho subjects we are discussing. True religion is the study of the life while true science is that of the fonii., Orthodox science, has been - groping for this life and-has endeavored to find it by way of the study of the multifarious forms we see around us, whether in the domain of geology, mineralogy, chemistry, botany, anatomy and astronomy. It has approached this study with tireless energy and a tenacity of purpose truly sublime. From this has arisen a mighty structure almost bewildering in its preciseness, but which nevertheless still leaves the question of the nature of life unanswered with the result that it has fallen back on the creative power.as •■ the only solution. - ■ ■ ' Orthodox religion has wasted enormous energy on irrevelent discussion over the interpretation v;of* scripture.7 ./Relying" on 'this revelation it ignores all .teaching that does not" harmonize 'with its interpretation of this sacred lore and rejects. the testimony of the sacred literature of other religions, which be it. said is equally grand in its ethical aspect, quite as satisfying to the needs of the soul and in many cases far older.': The most unforhuiate /stand taken by Christianity is "that proclaimed" by too zealous teaclier_ who' insist that it is the only religion in. the world worthy of the-name.-.. 'According, to, this "belief the 250'. millions of this faith axe in the light, while the 1000 millions.of other faiths are in the darkness and ignored by the Father of all. This has arisen largely through the abnormal conceit that characterizes therpeoples of "Western lands. They imagine they are everything, that the universe was built for them and the millions of fellowmen iii Asia, Africa and India are bo much flotsam aiid jetsum floating on %e 'great j-j-olutionary sea. Their niinds**w*Ql 1*e disabused of this some day. In the old days religion did not seek to •impose aii'arbitrary dogmatic teaching ou tho peoples, but recognizing the one life sought tp-stOdyitaud by .viutuo- of contemplation on, aud inner meditation i*:am some knowledge of it aud having obtained this knowledge tho study of the forms camo as a natural result. It is practically; a study of tho law of cause and effect wich regards tho life as tho cause and the form as the effect. The life is the light and tho form is the shadow, the life is the real nnd the form is the unreal. It follows, therefore, that what we imagine so delightfully real — that which we see, hear, touch taste and smell—is after all ,the furthest removal from the real, and that in so doin1? we are living in a fools paradise, hugging au imaginary will-o'- the-wisp, while the reality is awaiting the recognition it will some day receivo. Real religion, in the old days (and for that matter in these days too) was studying what science is doing today, with this difference, that while the latter studies from form to life—effect to cause —low to high, the former studies from high to low, from life to form—cause to effect. Embodied in the old philosophies ai*e to be found. the solution of all the problems of life whicli science vainly seeks along physical lines and which it will never find. It goes without saying that orthodox religion aud science rejects all this, but not quite so openly as they have done for it is beginning to dawn upon them that armed with a broader interpret tation of the scriptures on the one hand and a.charitable acceptance "of Eastern, philosophies on the other, much that is vague shall be made clear, and conse'-' quently more presentable to mankind. It will be seen, therefore, that the antagonism between religion and science, when looked into deeper, has no reason to be, and arose out of a false conception of the true work of both. It is not pretended, even now, that this or other explanations will be accepted by either. Only closer study of their affinity will bring the light. Although the relations between them are far more harmonious than formerly, they will still both seek solutions of the problems of life from their respective standpoints; more advanced minds in pulpit and laboratory, minds able to rise above the rut of dogma, will clear the mental horizon and bring to. the masses brighter conceptions of the great evolutionary plan and ultimately, answer intelligently the1 questions that have agitated the human mind of all ages: Whence do I come, why,.and where and whither do I go? Some will say: "What of it? Why all this about matters that after all are out-, side the pale of every day life!" The answer has been well put as a finale, to a, clever article on the works of George Macdonald, novelist, mystic, and idealist. It closes as follows: U; ■ "■'■".. :' "There is no more.unfiling and irritating query in tne whole range of human interest than the one which an indifferent mind launches with a great air of triumph against one who has become to be in earnest. It Is exasperating because of its obtuse self-satisfaction, so bafllling because It demonstrates the widtli of the gulf fixed between human minds. ' What is tlie use,' says the practical person, 'of thinking about such unpractical things?' What good is there in wasting time considering whether you .have a soul or not, when you Know that you have a. body that must be provided for? Thinking will not fill your pockets, will not give you meat and drink and enjoyment. These are the real objects of life and all the rest is foolishness, weakness and waste of time." Dr. Macdonald, it may be well be believed, is of the opposite opinion. "If," he says, ' 'a man may not know the things of God, whence he came, what shall he understand. F. W. Pettit. Nelson, B.

THE TOWN AND THE~DISTRICL Benjamin Freelof Regina, Alberta, will apply on Tuesday next to government agent Renwick for a water record of 600 inches from Cottonwood-Smith creek. The point at which the water is to be diverted is at or near where the Hall Mines smelter railway track crosses the creek. Freel is the man who got the council to pass a bylaw giving him certain privileges for erecting a fiom- mill here. The privileges were granted, but the flour mill was not built; and never will be. The city should see to it that the water record is not granted. Tax assessment notices for 1903 are being mailed to assessed owners. The absirrdities appearing in the notices of former years appear again this year. One notice shows an assessment of one piece of property at $2975, and another piece at $75. Why the former should not have been $3000 and the latter $100, only the ma*n who made the assessment knows. If all assessments had been made in units of $100, it would have been much simpler and easier to figure out the taxes. The shareholders of The Tribune Company, Limited, held their first meeting on Tuesday. The following officers and directors -were elected: Directors���Dr. W. O. Rose, William McNabb, John A.

Joseph Sturgeon of the Sherbrooke hotel has purchased a residence on Silica street, near Josephine street, and his family now live there. Mi*. Sturgeon is out on Hall creek looking after mining property in which he is interested. Two of tho water-front manufacturing industries are working full forces full time. Tlie wire mattress factory never was so busy since it started up at Nelson, and the marble works have orders ahead that keep them busy. John O. Regan passed through Nelson this week en route to the Last Chance mine in thc Slocan. It is likely that work will be resumed on the property as soon as Dr. Hendryx comes up from Los Angeles. The subject of tho discourse by Rev. Mr. Reid on Sunday night iu the Congregational church, Stanley street, will bo "Oiu- Citizenship: Improving Environments : Seeking a Better Country." J.

NELSON SCHOOL CHILDREN- [Continued from First 1'iige.] you af forwards look back and regret. I will repeat what I said at first, and that is, my wish that the coming days of freedom from school may bring you every pleasure." His worship mayor Rose addressed his attentive young listeners as follows: "It gives me great pleasure to preside at these closing exercises and to witness the display that has beeu made this afternoon. The city of Nelson is to be congratulated .on having an institution which offers so many excellent opportunities for proficiency in, not only, the essentials, but what I also call fine arts. I noticed as I came in, a chart with the elements of the metric system, also the measures and appli- ancas for its use,jin the cabinet in the office. Now, I intend at the close of the next term, to award a gold medal to the boy or girl who has shown the greatest proficiency in mastering the system, for I feel that the day.is coming when this decimal means of computation will be of great use to our 'country, and supersede pounds'and ounces, with the litre, decalitre, etc. ��� I wish to say to the boys and girls that we hope you will all be present ���at the school grounds where the children are to assemble on July 1st, and march to the parade grounds, to aid in celebrating the 36th birthday of our fair Canada, in which most of us were born and that we .love so much���honoring, thereby the great ^British empire of which we form a part. I trust .you will spend a joyous holiday and now announce that the school is closed 'and will reopen'-'on"."the first Monday in September." The singing, of the "Maple Leaf Forever" brought the exercises to a close, and a long file of happy faces greeted the eye as the juveniles marched out with their trophies, and called ringing cheers which above all else express the average boy's feelings at holiday time. DO NOT WANT TO PAY TAXES. The silver-lead mines in the Coeur d'Alenes have paid their owners millions in dividends, but the owners don't like to pay taxes. They even lack harder over the way they are taxed than do some of the mine-owners of Kootenay over the 2 per cent tax. The following appeared in the Spokane Review one day last week: "If the sheriff of Shoshone! county, Idaho, up in the Coeur d'Alenes, sells the big mines of the camp for taxes oil July 7th, he will probably do;.so only after a hard legal fight, for the mine-owners are joining in a plan to fight the matter before the courts of Idaho. The lawyers for the big corporations are getting together to draw up the papers in the contest. It is expected that they will rest their claims on alleged unfairness in the assessment of the properties. The Bunker Hill & Sullivan, the ,Empire^State-Idaho,=-the^Morning,=4he= Hunter, the Standard, the Mammoth and the Frisco are all standing together in the matter. The Hercules and the Coeur d'Alene Development Company, owning the Crown Point, nearj Wardner, are the only big mines which are not making the fight. They have paid their taxes as assessed. The trouble grew out of the recent law passed by the Idaho legislature, making patented mines' pay taxes at their full market value instead of at a nominal rate as heretofore. The assessor of Shoshone county rated the big mines roundly at an average of about half a million dollars each, aside from the value of the improvements and siu-face rights, which are taxed separately. The mining companies have fought the case before the county commissioners, but without avail. They have steadily refused to pay the full amount of taxes, although tendering moneys based on the assessments which they liad turned in from their properties. Shoshone county has been somewhat crippled in consequence financially. Now, as a last resort, the county has advertised tho mines for sale on July 7th at the hands of the sheriff for taxes." ONE BUBBLE HAS BURST. The demand for a receiver for the United States Shipbuilding Company and the disclosures touching thc organization of this big combine may serve to show that it is not eveiy overcapitalized concern that can live, even with prominent men behind it. It was a colossal affair so far as figures went, but the president of the corporation resigned his position, giving as his reason that the working capital of the trust was insufficient and that the assets and possible profits were greatly exaggerated in the organization. This would indicate that cash and not water is needed to conduct a largo business even if the concern be a shipbuilding corporation. The United States shipbuilding company seems to have been organized with a capital and indebtedness far in excess of tho value of tho plants controlled by it. Tho thrifty Schwab received $30,- 000,000 for the Bethlehem steel works in preferred stock, common stock and collateral bonds; the plant is said to have been worth $7,500,000.

The Morrissey Despatch says: "The coming political contest will be fought out in Fernie constituency on party lines, and while it is safe to say that both the political parties will have candidates in the field, it would be permature to state that the standard bearers have already been selected. Certain gentlemen have been freely named as likely candidates, who, no doubt, would receive considerable support at a nomination convention, but many of these disclaim any desire to accept such an honor." The Liberals of Kaslo met this week and passed the following resolution: "That a committee of five bo appointed by the association to conduct the correspondence and other work incident to the selection of a candidate for the Kaslo riding at the coming convention. Also that a notice be put in the Kaslo Kootenaian stating that there will be a meeting of this committee at a stated date to ascertain what nominations there are likely to be and the probable strength of each candidate." The Liberal-Conservatives of Moyie, iu Cranbrook riding, held a meeting on Tuesday night and organized an association. The following officers were elected: A. P. McDonald, president; E. A.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1903-06-27 |
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. |
