Frances Leslie deposed that she was the proprietress of a sporting house in Ymir. On the evening of 22/ld inst., she left on a visit to Nelson, and on her return on the morning of the 25th found that her house had been broken into and the articles specified in the summons stolen therefrom. She re ported the matter lo Constaple Forrester. Later on she went into th e (»bus. of the prisoner ostensibly to get a postage stamp, and found a tin of cream and a revolver, both of which she indentified as her property, on the table, Campbell was in bed at the time, and appeared to be mure or less uuder the influence of liquor, übe again reported to Forrester, and swore out a warrant for Campbell's arrest.

BOYCOTT BUSINESS BOOMING BRIEFLY. CONSPIRATORS CONTEMPLATING CONSEQUENCES. CITIZENS ASSOCIATION THE SECRETARYSHIP DECLAR ED VACANT. COST OF THE CRMETERY SITE. The war news of Ymir for the past week is briefly summed up. A few mare cringing creatures have surren-' dered body and soul to the threats of the relentness foe, and saloon and labor agitator element claim a victory. We «hall wee how Ion;,' they will hold the fort. Encouraged by the apparent success attending their efforts the instigators of the BOYCOTT against the editor of this newspaper are now agi. tating another "reform." They propose that no mine manager, mine superintendent, foreman, shift bote or any other mine ollicial be appointed by a company before their names be submitted to the miners' union, and that no such appointment be inaele un' less with the full approval of such body Should these conditions not be promptly complied with, the union edict will be—Strike I BOYCOTT I Is it arty w under that capital is giving and has given Ymir a wide berth 1 The mineral wealth of the district is undoubted. Why, then, is it allowed to lie almost dormant 1 The answer is that there is ever present a sense- of danger at the hands of the dreaded agitator—resident or imported, The few merchants there a*« in town seem to live in fear and trembling of these demagogues, and at these gentry are alto the business, "push!' tor the saloons (nine, of which - mysteriously flourish in a town of 250 inhabitants) the position can be- understood by the fortunate outsider. A BOYCOTT is enforced against Tna Mihhom becauto we dared to make public certain figure« in connection with the Ymir General Hospital which the miners' union, for restions best known to itself, wished to keep back. They get the Daily News of Nelson to champion their cause, bnt at usual when our contemporary undertakes to deal with Ymir mutter«, it is on the wrong scent. It tayt that the union it the principal contributor to the hospital funds and that the books of the hospital are alwnyt open for inspection. Both statements are tolly at variance with faeti Nor it the ltw at administered in Ymir calculated to breed confidence. Let «rn quote a typical case—the lost on reeordr Three prominent members of the minera' union were arretted on Thursday lost mi a charge of breaking into« whorehouse an*stealing whisky, a revolver and some gruuorlesr The ease wow rcpnrteel to Forrester, the local policeman, who went erver and inspected the premises.

Police pro' tection is sully needed. The Boycott iu Ymir is booming this week/ The monthly meeting of the Ymir Citizens' Association was held on Tues day evening last, with W. M. Coffey in the ohair. A letter wot read from H. B. Smith P. L. S. requesting an early settlement of his account for surveying the cemetery. The cost was $46.85. It was also stated in the communication that the land would have to be subdivided and mapped out before the plan could be registered. A long discussion ensued, during which several member» expressed contempt for what purported to be a free gift of land from the railway company. There were only five acres given, and these were worth but little—not even the cost of survey. Finally, a committee consisting of A. Burgess, J. McLeod and F. McLeod was appointed to collect subscriptions towarels the cemetery fund. W. M. Coffey, as chief eif the fire- brigade reported that he hod enquired at to the cost of a sleigh for the hate teal. It would cost from 115 to #20, and now that the winter season was drawing to a close, he suggested that the matter be deferred. This was agreed to, Dell Smith tendered hit resignation at secretary, which wot accepted on motion of M. Tait. Then followed an ansiout half hour devoted to an effort to appoint a sue cotter. Dr. Duncan proposed H. Kearns for the office, but Mr. Kearns declined the honor. T. Newitt wot nominated, but he also declined to act. S. H. Seaney wot tendered the hon or, but he would not accept. M. Tait proposed that the offices of secretary and treasurer be amalgamated, but to this Dr. Duncan, the treasurer, vigorously protested. Next Andy Burgess was named «for the position, but, like the rest, declined to accept office. Finlay McLeod was nominated, but would not act. " ! ' Then Dell Smith was appealed to to attend to the bnsinett arising out of the meeting. This he consented to do but definitely refused to continue in office. His reasons were obvions. Prominent among those who have conspir« ed to Boycott him are members of the Citizens' Association. Tlieir consistency in asking him to hold tho office of secretary but furtliur illustrates their ttupid conception of right. Some routine business having been disposée) of tine meeting adjourned. A board of Police Commissioner* and Licensing inspectors hue beWi ap pointed for the Ymir district compoteel of A. Kelly of Nelson, H, Kearns and J. G. Dewuf, of Ymir, and W. H.

DEATH OF FRANK CROWB. Frank Crowe, one of the original settlers in Ymir, diud at the General hospital on Sunday evening last. Hu was engaged at the Ynur mine os a tiinberman, and three weeks Iprior to death was admitted to hospital, suffering from acute lumhugo, which work» ed up to the heart and caused death. Deceased came to the camp in 1397 and has been a resident since, ever en» joying tho esteem and confidence of all He was a native of Bobcaygen and 54 years of age. The funeral took place on Wednesday, and was one of tho largest corteges seen iu Ymir, despite the extreme inclemency of the weather , The funeral services were conducted Rev, W. W. Baer, of Nelson, assisted by the local Methodist preacher, Mr. R. E- Collis, ond were very impressive. Deceased leaves a widow, one daughter (Mrs. A. B. Buckworth) and two sons to mourn the loss of an exemplary husband »nd a good father- a mourning in which al! who had the privilege of knowing the deceased participate, and none more sincerely than does Tna MmiioH staff. A life worthy of emulation has been brought to its close. Frank Crowe lias left his mark as one of nature's genuine gentlemen. mfmmmmsm*f* THE RUSSO-JAPANESE WAR.

The disparity between the two rivals is not lessened when their fighting forces aro examined.

Dull Smith, Editor. SATURDAY. FEB. 27. JJÜ^HE war in Ymir threatens to de- v velop into a more seriout affair than the treacherous conspirators had nny idea of. On the opposite page is a rough map of the encampment, the turned advertisements being those of the timid oreatutes who surrendered to the enemy at the first crack of the pop-gun. It is but right that, a monument should bo erected to their memory, At we explained last week, the BOYCOTT instituted against, the editor of this paper is tho outcome of a mean conspiracy, and so clumsily promulgated that the victims of the instigators have had their heads forced into the halter by bejng made parties to a oriminal plot. This they will discover to their cost later on. A clear proof of conspiracy is that all the advertisements were withdrawn at the same time. The reason assigned is I'KAIt OK TUB BOYCOTT COMMITTKK ! So terrible is this fear that some of our former patrons have come to us and offered to pay for their advertising space as usual, provided their business is not advertised I And this condi tion of terror exists in Ymir,—in liitmsii Columbia I Why was the BOYCOTT instituted î Simply because we tried to do our honest duty. A public hospital is one of tho ' industiies" of Ymir 'llie insti' tution is run by the local branch of the minera1 union, with head-quarters at the other side of the internatinna, boundary. The management of the hospital is left in the hands of a little band of local union men who, not heiug over zealous for work in tho mines have ample time to muddle and mismanage any other business. The hospital hoard provided a means of killing time and experimenting at the public expanse, However, it was always represented that the hospital was maintained by the union and was luuiita considerable loss to that or ganixation, although the government did, now and again, contribute " a few dollars" The reticence evinced iu giving any details as to the inner workings of the insl'tution at length aroused suspicion, and inve-siigaiiou proved thst so far from being run at a loss, tlio hospital is a source of profit to the union—or some one else. The management I'OSITIVKI.V KKCCSKIi to give any information as to liminccs or to open their honks fur inspection. Under the circumstances, and as we wore being pressed tor the information, wo applied to the government at Victoria mid secured a copy of the returns the hospital board are obliged to make every month so as to entitle them to the government grant, These ligures WO published—an extraordinary, pur. ling compilation Instead of trying to explain matters, what was the answer of the board of directors and the miners' union to the challenge} Simply—BOYCOTT HIM ! How ever, this did not work with the fair minded, honest members. They insisted that auditors be appointed to look over the books. But w'io were the auditors î Three men who have joined in the boycott against this paper for having publish eel the very figures they were supposée) to audit—David Grobp |manager of thu DesBrjsay Jobbing Co ), Dan Campbell, and W. M. Coffey, the barber. Iu the case ot\ Campbell and Grobe there was good reason for selecting them. Their Arms supply the hospital with groceries and provisions—the account running as high as 41160 a month for two or three sick men and a couple of healthy nurses Coffey was an equally choice selection as he does not even profess to be a book-keeper. Yet this specially selected trio, having examined the books, refused to certify them correct ! Every six months there is an election of officers in the local union and a general scramble for the secretaryship the only office to which a salary is attached. In consequence of the hospital muddle Mclsaac, the present secretary, was not nominated when the nominations were received a couple of weeks ago—Mclnnis and Bennet were. However, last Wednesday they withdrew, and Mclsaacs was forced to hold office pending an investigation of his books, Why all this if the accounts be correct I Would not the honest, manly way be to court investigation, not shirk it î Are BOYCOTT and conspiracy the weapons of honest men ? The Montreal Gazette—and people in Montreal have some slight acquaintance with monetary matters—-has the following pleasingly appreciative remarks to make anent the effect of thu financial policy of the Government ». this province; The estimates submitted to the British Columbia Legisla tu re for the year ending June 30, 1905 provide for an expenditure of $2,442- 304. The revenue is expected tn read 12,522,076. If the expectations are realized, the government will next year show that rare thing in British Cnluin bin, a surplus of revenue over cxpendi ture. The end will be reached by t double process. Fur years tho succession of weird aelministtations in the provice sought to gain public support by spending, To spenel they had to borrow. The debt has in consequence gone up, till the charge now amounts' to $668,979 a year, a large figure when the. revenue is only two and a half millions. The McBriele government could not bring the exponeliture down to the level uf tho revenue with such an interest slice taken from it; so it took means to bring the revenue up to the demands of the expenditure. Between the increase of taxation and the growth of incarne from established sources, the receipts ure expected to be increased by 1838,000. Then there are large reductions in the expenditure on the Hrvioes, aside from the public debt; and as a coiiseemcnce it is cal ciliated that at the end of thu twelve months there will bu a balance on hand of 825,000. A short term loan, interest on which is provided for iu the estimates, will ulear'off tloating liabili- l ies and meet certain charges created by past legislation. The new govern« meiii. has in fact applied business ideas to a business situation. So long as it sticks lo its present policy it will deserve the approval of all the business men in the province. It seems the Ministers of the federal government'are beginning to realize that private cars, the uso of which they so loudly condemned when they wero in Opposition, are nice vehicles to travel in, For comfort and convenience the members of the Cabinet uio agreed that a private railway car is the very acme of enjoyment, that a Pullman or a Wagner car is simply not in it contrasted witli the'. »30,000 traveling homes which a beneficent Canadian people-, has provided for them. Hence (bereis a great and-growing demand1 for private cars by Ministers. Mr, Fielding and members of his family have just returned from Florida, whit« her they traveled in a private car, Mr. Emmerson is now en route to Ottawa from St. John, on his private car, and 'tween times moralizing on the fickleness of the electorate. Sir William Mulook and the members of his family are meandering homeward from Mexico, in a private car of course. With such illustrious examples it is little to be wondered at that Mr. Sif- ton should also get the private car mania, and to day, therefore, he is off to Texas in a private cir, in the company of his wife and some lady friends. He will be absent two weeks. A melancholy interest attache« to the plan of the Russian campaign at outlined from Vladivostok as long ago as Jan. 8. A despatch from that point on the date named intimated that Admiral Alexieff intended to spin out the diplomatic negotiations until late in March, when he would be ready to fight.. Then would come the destruction of the greater part of the Japanese navy before the Japanese could land troops. This coup was to be effected by the torpedo boats, which wore reporteel to be very effective as destroyers. If, the torpedoes should prove less useful than expected and the Japs should attempt to lund, the warships would obstruct the movement. Thus at Chemulpo there would'be a Heel that would stop any Japanese advance, All these plans seem to have been thwarted by the speedy ac» tion of the enemy. The Japs did not wait for them to mature.

Correspondence promptly attended to Denmark suffers from a quite medieval paucity of surnames, and so inconvenient is ibis fact becoming that the Government has announced its intention of presenting a bill to the Legislature sanctioning and encouraging the adoption of new surnames.

Thoy startud on Christmas day but tlio oold drove them bsejk. Mr. A. O. Long, a mounted policeman, passed through Vancouver lust week en route to the Yukon. He was oue of those who mounted guard over these religious fanatic*, and who wns through the lust Uoukhulioi- excitement, north af Hogina, He say» that seven mounted policemen aro now watohins eight hundred Ooukliobors at Yorkton, 150 miles north of Hegina, but iu spite of thin nnd in spite of the facts that P Virgin their leader, in the pilgrimage is doing time iu Hegiiia ami three other loaders are in thev lunatiu asylum at llrandon other leaders have sprung up mid ure constantly firing the imagination of tho people to start on another mad march. Mr. Long does not believe that all the police in the country can stop thorn whon they throw oil restraint next spring. In recalling thé last pilgrimage, Mr. l/uig said he saw the Ooukliobors turn i heir cuttle loose, as unfit for human food and not intended by Qod to pei- I'orin labor. Instead of horses, he saw fourteen women hitched to a plow, a man on the side with a whip and an other man at the handles. The women wero nut yoked but etch strained Hgaiiiwt a slick attached to ropes until the Perspiration rolled from them in great drops. The men made the women beasts of burden and rofused to do manual work themselves. In the Wound s'lign of llirir frenzy, they jumped ami shouted und tore their hair und ripped their clothes from their bodies, Iu the third hinge, the men com iiuiiided the women to remove their clothing, und alum; they marched, singing, shouting, und.working themselves into afiiroo frenzy. One. enterprising policeman took u photograph of u section uf '.ho procession, und was imprisoned six mouths for, improper eon duct, The pictures arc scattered broad i ait, however, ninny copies of ihe photo, graph having reached Vancouver. Mr. Long says' that ut present the Doukhoburs are to all external appear- auces quiet and peaceful, the men work ing as little us possible und making the women wink us much as they can. The religions frenzy is smouldering, I io wovor, und rcudy lu break mit al any time. Mr. Long duct not believe they will ever make good Canadian citizen*, these eight hundred Oouk lu ils« », although their descendants may hecome tractable when removed from the influences surrounding tho first hcttlert. g,.
