"Old Bill," as he has been known fur some )ears past, was 73 year» of age. He was one of the first engaged in tho steamboat business on th« Fraser river, and during the Cariboo gold excitement he was one of the pioneers. There-were times in his cmcer when Bill could sign his cbcipie for a few ll unwind dollars luit a generous, big-bearteii fellow as he always was, he could not keep money while any uf his friends—mil they were legion -were in want, Bill nu-ver let the lefl hand know what the right band did—Ills bounty was iinosteutnti- nus For years lie noted as waifengei al Victoria, but one big "dupe * dual by whiah he was tu pockol $5,000, induced him to resign. He the* acted as porter at the Oriental Hotel, a position he held for many years.

In the local legislature yesterday the debate on the estimates was begun the opposition distinguishing themselves as faultfinders, Two or three interesting announcements were made by the premier during tho afternoon. One was that the government has at least completed its bill relating tu mineral taxation The contents of the bill were not disclosed as the first minister said he wanted it to go before the mining committer. Another announcement from the premier was that night sittings would be held next week. This, suggestion was opposed by Oliver, un the ground that it would interfere with the work if committees. A promise was made by the premier that the idea would be abandoned if such proved to be the case. McBride's bill to "remove doubt as to thu validity of the election uf the member for J.illooet" was rend a first lime but the opposition would not permit it to advance another stage. McDonald, the member affected, states iu an interview that he was el- eoted by acclamation on September 19th, and that be accepted a cheque for his services as road boss for the remainder of that month. He did su on the advice of the government agent, whu advised him that there cuuld be no objection tu hi» doing so as. long as lie had nut been swum in us a member. Although he continued tu discharge ois duties Us mad boss for llie nCxi two months, he did not accept pay for it. SECRET CRIME SOCIETY. As an instance of lite way secret societies like the Mafia a organized in .Southern llaly, it irt worth reporting that the Italian police have arrested 71 persons, all members uf a secret organization called the "Malavita," in the City of Fuggia. It was discovered that the society was organized to coin- m.t all sorts uf crimes, friim highway robbery tu kidnapping. Two schools Were found, ouu tu teach tin- way to use the knife and the other fur pickpockets.

SATURDAY, JAN. 33: p.— INTIMATES for the ensuing year V^ have been submitted in the Local Legislature, and it is pleasing to find that the wants of the newly .created electoral district of Ymir have been duly recognin.ed and provided for. Ymir gels 8H000 for roads, trails and bridges, and an extra $2000 for a bridge over the Salmon Hiver at Ymir. Tho amount secured by our locu] representative; Mr Ilirry Wright, is hut a trille lower than was asked for at a public meeting convened for the purpose, shortly before the legislature met. At this meeting Dell Smith moved that $2,000 be asked for, tu build a suitable bridge over the Salmon liiver, and strengtbened his motion by showing that the revenue , from mir.es at the ulber side uf the stream would justify the expenditure Tho motion was opposed by "mine. 'owner" Paddy Daly. Poddy had evidently been "towld " tu oppose any- thin" and everything that Dell would fs ■ - , J o . f propose, and with due subserviency ,b0 obeyed orders, irrespective of con sequences, Needless to say tho re solution was carried. We have time and again called attention tu the iliiilgernus Condition of tlio Ymir bridge, und the loss that would accrue fo tho town as well »s to the public exchequer were tlieMvrotulted structure to he swept away by Hoods. It has , had already several harrow escapes, and will probably go this spring except .something be dune in the interval ; Iu prevent, such a calamity. However wo have a business government] in power iu British Columbia now, and , a representative whuwill see to it that his district is properly provided for. In Ihe mal 1er of appropriations Ymir fairly heads the list, and yet we urn not gelling all we are entitled to, con, sideling the contributions from the district lo the public exchequer. [Tmier a better finiinulifl condition we would get all we are entitled tu, but the big majority. of the people, who supported Harry Wright, are satisfied that Ihe, an,mint appropriated is all that cuuld be reasonably .expected under existing circumstances 1,'n- fortunately, a couple uf the appropria lions risked fur at the public meeting alluded to wen- for private ronds Iu private mini's ; but llie 'government engineer' will be ai'ouiul, and draw the • line between ' put »ale iniuiopuly and public Utility:' It is tn be hoped that ihn money appropriated fur the Ymir district— piii'tioii'i'irly thtj slim set iiparl fur tbe.Yiuir bridge—will be . li-i'il at mice, so. that the ad vantages limy be pi ml icul Iv appreciublii at lint i»»lii>i pussibu- iiiiuiieiii. Vou have 'loin- wen, Hurry, will carry some men ' to terrible extremes, and' the;-.only practical cure i> o touch tjieir pockets, i It • brings .'elhws of this class lo their senses in line cases out of ten. Wo are uboul 0 apply the cure in this camp; Tin Ollicial Gazette, published under goy •ruinent auspices at Victoria, contains ipplications for crown grants in the Ymir district, of which nobody but the applicants are supposed tu know myth ing—and for reasons which itliers know as well as they. To ibtain a crown grant for a claim, the iiitiing reuorder must bo satisfied (ac lording to the wording of tho Mineral •Vet chap. ,1-1, sec. 30,. sub. soc. ■)) that ibe applicant, has : 'Inserted a copy of such notice in r.lic. British Columbia Gazette and in i-newspaper l'um.lsiiKtiand Ciuoiii.at UU ill the division in which the claim s situated, Or in the absence of such Local paper, in the one nearest therein," etc. • ■- '■ Al least four of the applicants for irnrfn g-iinU in-the Ymir district have not »implied with tlio law in this par- icular, and these four applications we lave been advised tu protest, by the ii-st legal authorities in the province. vVe »hull certainly adopt .the advice uid put these fellows tu tho expense if advertising over again ur acknow- 1 'ilging some crooki'dne.-s. The spite hi the part of two of the parties alluded 11 is probably due lu the fact that we nail ihe temerity to cut tboili off our list as delinquent subscribers. In the other instances tiie sting carries a political virus. The spirit of the Act clearly is that those living in the district, in which the cruwn grant is applied fur should know thai such uppli cation is being made. The LOCAL papers in which these applications arc advertised are nut i'.hi.isiikii or ciu- 'ixcitin:; scene in the house. Let it sause the exciting scene. Lynch fought igainst his.own countrymen in the iioer War, and sneak that lie is, sought ;.he protection uf Britain when he aune back from, France, whither ho ;led in his cowardice. Traitors of the Lynch typo deservo nri compassion, In he United States ho would be lynched.

Tun record us a dividend paying »pid mine is probably h"|d by tho Champion Reef company in the Kola ,'old field ill India. During ten years this company has paid dividends amounting to 1,02'J] per cent on its capital stock, which bus a par value of £200,000. or 151,300,000. Tho lowest rate in any one year uf that period was 07A per cent; the highest was 10Û per cent, paid for the last, fiscal year.

One uf the must ominous features of the depression which is settling over the Australian Commonwealth is the rapid dépopulation of that country, In the past couple of years the exodus from the island continent hns assumed alarming pro) ni tions, and the emigrants are almost invariably from those classes of society on which the prosperity of tho community chiefly depends. It is a significant fact that the decrease in the growth of popu- 1 itiou is coincident with the extension of those Socialistic principles which have attracted so much attention to Australia. In the thirity years pro eeeding 1891 the population had increased by 800,000. Since then the growth has been only about 5,000. It has actually decreased in the past year or two. In Victoria where labor leg- islation has made the greatest advan-1 eos, the loss of population has been 1'25 000 in a decade. In the past six months 16,000 persons have left New South Wales, and a recent issue of the Australian Globe says that the entire outward-bound passenger accomodation of steamship lines in secured months in advance. Nu wonder this paper expresses alarm at the situation. Commenting nn the subject it says:— "Well may it be said that these facts afford a scathing commentary on the Sucialistie labor policy of tho ex isting State Government. Here is a country whnse industrial institutions are run solely in the interests of the worker, whose politicians leave no stone unturned to meet his every demand, in which of all countries of the world it might be thought that labor has found its Elysium, and yet the workingman, as well as hi.' employer, finds that he cannot make a living in it," The ex Australians are «aid to be "mostly of a class born or long settled jn the country, tradesmen and muster erat tsinun, sheep raisers, and farmers." Many of thcni icturn to England, others gu tu South Afrioa, and many mure come tu Canada.

At tho last meeting uf the Law Society uf British Columbia, held in Victoria un January 8th, Frank L. Christie, a barrister and solicitor uf the supreme eourt uf British Columbia, was disbarred from practice as a barrister, and struck off the roll of solici tors. The complaints against Mr. Christie were laid by George H. Ed wards and Herman Clever, both of the Kootenay district, and were to the effect, that Christie hid acted fur them in certain legal matters and had col lected mofrey, which he should have paid over. However the money was never paid, and though it had been asked for repeatedly, is still said to be dne. Letters and documents in the original matters were attached tu the affidavits with which the complaints | were suppnrted. Though < 'hristio was advised of tho charges against him, he did nul appear at the meeting uf the benchers called tu consider them The resolution of disbarment was ; passed by the benchers and ordered to I be printed in th e British Columbia Gazette The local supremo court re- ! gistry office in also in receipt uf notice uf Mr. Christie's disbarment.

O THE CON YALE-CARIBOO SERVATIVES. At the Conservative convention held at Kamloops on Thursday, M Hurrill of Grand Forks, was chosen as candidate at the forthcoming dominion élection. There were eighty nine delegates present, one delegato being allnwed fur each twenty votes cast at the provincial elections. The tutal voting strength including proxies was three hundred and nine. Ex-premier Semlin was chairman of the oonvention and J. T. Robinson, secretary. Three nominations were received. M. Hurrill uf Grand Forks, was pro posed by J. P. Gray of Greenwood) seconded by Isaac Crawford uf Grand Forks, W. I. Shut ford of Vernon, proposed by Price Ellison, seconded by W. A. Johnsan of Quosnel Porks, .1. T. Robinson of Kamloops, proposed by Mayor Michel, seconded by James Gill of Kmiiloops. Each uf 'b'' three candidates addressed the convention nnd their qualifications were freely discussed in their absence before tho vute was taken. The first ballot, resulted in Shatford receiving 144 votes ; Hurrill 110, and Robinson, 54. Robinson was dropped and a second ballot gave Hurrill 167 nod Shatford 138. Bun-ill's nomination was made uiuiie. mous on motion of Shatford, seconded by Robinson. Barrister L P. Duff is now being spoken of as liberal candidate for Victoria. John Macuiillan has already announced hie candidature and intends to stay in the field. George Biley, the sitting member , may want renomioa- tion, and in that event he is pretty sure to get it. Ex-mayor McCandlesa is a favorite with many liberals, but hin biisinoHS engagements will not pert not of Ilia entering dominion polities. \ At the meeting of the Mackenzie Liberal Club, held the other night in Prospect Hall, Toronto, Stapleton Cal decott spoke un the policy of Joseph Chambi rlnin, and put in a vary strung plea against the present protective sys' tem of taxation, saying that it was not the government that was taxing the country, hut rather tho manufacturers, who were making the poor farmer pay 20 and 30 per "cent, taxes on his machinery, and instead of this tax going to the government, it went into the hands of a select few. "It is a remarkable fact," said Mr. Caldecott, "that the manufacturers uf this conn- Iry aie all rich men as a class, but still when spoken tu about free trade they iaise a row just because thoy w.uld nut be able tu make a prufit from the tax which the government wuuld place un importations. They turn around and sing "God Save the King" with as much fervor as ihe must ot us, and still they can du this thing I don t call this luyality; rather it is loynlity of the "lip tu mouth'' kind ' Never in the hottest days of Aui/ust have there been so many dug-bite cases in hospitals as during thu last throe weeks in Now York, Thirty six casts have been treated. Lack of warmth and tho difficulty of obtaining food, when .oven refuse is frozen, has driven stray dogs tu a condition uf wolfish irritability similar to that produced by the heat of mid summer. Several of the mure dangerously injuieil ure still in the hospital. The rumor of the death of the pope which was circulât>d in Madrid, liai* ing come to tho cars of the pontiff, his holiueas exclaimed to a friend: ' What already? Ixio was loft in peace for five yours after his election, while with me these rumors have begun at only the end of a few months. It maybe a good thing to look at this from a sup» erstitious standpoint, but I am nut inclined that way and think it may even prolong my life."

SOME INTERESTING DETAILS OF THE BIO TORONTO STORE. Toronto has long been noted an the c|ty of Ann stores. With hsr miles of beautiful residential streets, lier avenues of tree», splendid lake fro-|t, unequnlled street car service and her great department stores, such as that o' the Ttnbert Simpson Company, her citizens pn«se*s advantages few other allies can boast. The Arm, en Mr. Simpson'« death. In 1897, became a limited company, und no modern phenomenon of the business world, so far a« Toronto is concerned, has occasioned more remark than the growth of the business of the Robert Slmiwon Company. Large though thé building In nnd'ndd- ed to from time to time es It has been, The Hobert Simpson Company building stands In the most prominent position In .he city, vis., the southwest corner nf Queen nnd Tons« Stri.-rl», where, sltiinled In the very centre of Ihe city, It has long hnon nno of the most familiar land-marks of the town. As u specimen of modern store architecture, It stands supreme In Canada. II extends from Queen Street on ih<- north clonr throtiuh the block to Rlcfh- mond (street on the south, with n long series of magnificent frnnl window» on Queen, Ynnge nnd lllchinond Ptreets. Cnutitlng tho basement, the store numbers seven selling floors, each of whloh would provide Room for a Regiments Drill Manoevers On these seven floors, In twenty- three distinct departments, practically »very-thing needed In'dally life, mnv be bought for. the lowost economical price for which a »tore oan sell It. Experienced, enterprising "buyers" are scouring the world nearly six months of the year securing the mont suitable merchandise where It Is produced bent and cheapest. Quantity Is no drawback. The bigger quantity bought, the lowej>*h'e price. If the good« are right' the Robert Simpson Company cannot take too much ,of them, ( The bUkSMsl now known as the Robert Si;iiiwiin Company Limited, wns established away back In 1873, by the late Mr. Robert Simpson. An unequalled judge of dress goods and silks, nls store soon acquired a reputation for dress fabrics second to none In Canada, and that reputation has been one of the store's most valued and most carefully trensured assets ever since. Soon Tonge Street rivalled King Street In Its attractiveness for the ladles of Toronto, and when after tho great fire In 18%. the new building wns erected.
