After we had been at work a few days I took sick and hod to go to the Hospital. The men then were told hy Mr. C-rlln that the amount to be deducted for their fares was (42, but he promised to see it he could get it reduced, and he subsequently cut it down to $34.50 This amount the company sued for, nnd also some stores they claimed I hud out of the store, and which I never had. When I told the magistrate that I wanted the witnesses to show what bargain was made he very cnriouMy shouted out "How ridiculous for Mr.' Carlin to be responsible for the acts of the agent." Now, sir, I contend thnt the magistrate had no business to act in that unfair way as counsel for plaintiff, but that his business was to hear both sides and endeavor to give a just decision on the evidence, Surely 1 wus entitled to prove my case, and it I tailed l was of course prepared to suffer for it. The magistrate theu ordered me to pay the claim torthwith, and on my - intimating my wish to appeal a-juinst such administration of justice he said he could only permit my appeal on mr patting up $50. It is also a curious thing that the agent who arranged with us was in Golden un Saturday and Sunday, and on m> asking Mr. Carlin why he did noi keep him to give evidence he replied that he did not want him. It my case is an instance of tha high-handed way in which justice may be administered in this province, then it seems to me that it is high lime people were afforded some protection against such gross wrong.

He was accompanied by Mr, Bruce, Three properties huve beeu bonded hy the syndicate, and development work la being done on them.

It is the duty of a newspaper to expose wrong-doing in public affairs, and to endeavor to voice public opinion in demanding: a remedy against wronc,. In another column we publish a letter of complaint from M. \V. Blake. We were not present at the sitting of the court, but if the facts ure as stated we havo no hesitation in saying that tbe case was most improperly conducted by the presiding magistrate. It needs no argument to show that no matter wbo or what the persons are that come before the court they are entitled to full and fair cousideration, and to every opportunity to put their oase before the court in its entirety. The administration of justice as carried out in British Columbia would not he tolerated in most governments under the British flag. From the Supreme Court to the lower courts the system reeks with injustice. The machinery of the courts Is regulated entirely in the interests of the great capitalists and of the legal profession. The rules of even the Supremo Court of British Columbia are a barbarity, and from what we have seen of its adminstration we wonder how tbe people quietly tolerate a system which is worthy of the days of the Star Chamber. Reformers are urgently wanted in British Columbia, but in no department of the publio service is a good law-maker more requisite than in that affecting the judioiary and the general administration of justice. If judges and magistrates have not enough of tbe natural sense of justice before tbem to fulfil their offices with integrity and impartiality then the statute book itself must bind their administration within proper limits, and curtnil the discretionary power which is now so badly exorcised. THE RAILWAY POLICY. Canada stands out today tt tlio one British colony of importance where the government do not own and control the railways. This Dominion has permitted tho Yankee polity of railway monopoly to get itt merciless claws on the throats of this people, and instead of this government controlling the railways we have the degrading spectaole of the railways controlling the government. Thia hat got to be ended, and the Dominion tnd Provincial Governments had better make op thtir minds to give no more railway grants to private com panics, bnt to build and equip the railways themtelves. To tht disgrace of publio administration it mntt be admitted that the government railways of Canada have so far been a failure, while in other oolonies they tre a success, Let the Laurier Government remove this blot on publio administration, Just as good men can be got to run the government railways as the Canadian Pacific. The government ought to get them, and show that the railways can be managed successfully by the people and for the people. CROWN GRANTS FOR JUNES. Is the crown grant system conducive to the welfare of mining in British Columbia? We doubt it. On all hands capitalists nre buying 'up mines, und chartering river-beds, which they ure locking up to hold for sireculuiivo purposos. They intend in some instances neither to use these claims themselves nor let anybody else uso them. Wo believe that the only true way to deal with minerul claims is to limit the terms of ownership to use and occupation���that when a mineral claim is unused fora certain length of time it should be open to someone else to take it up who would use it. The plan we suggest in that adopted in the whole of the Australian Colonies, where they have had long experience in mining, and it is fouud to be most successful. Of course, precautions are taken against claim- jumping, so that the law is essentially just. A meeting of the business men of Golden is convened at tho Eka office, at the hour of 8 p.m.. ou Tuesday next, to take into consideration the desirability of forming a boaid of trade to loek'after tho commercial and general inteiosts of the town and district. An organization of this kind is urgently needed, and we hope the people of Golden will back up oar efforts in this direction by putting in a good attendance, and pulling together shoulder to shoulder to advance the interests of this portion of East Kootenay. WINDERMERE. Much has' been said about ths coal lands that will be opened by the construction of the Crow's Nest Railway. We are informed that neither the C. P. R. nor the Dominion Government will get an acre of known coal lands through the construction of this road, ns the whole of suoh lands were corralled by a syndicate some years ago. Complaints are made to us ol the C. P. R. blocking traffic by using the bridge over the Kickinghorse tt a side-line. With the immense amount of freight shunting now done at Golden the C. P. R. must recognise the necessity of new side-lines. These they should put in at once and so avoid tlie inconvenience to the public .complained of. We -hould think that the time hat arrived lor the establishment of a post office at Carbonate. There is a lot of traftio there, and the point is one which commands tbe scene of mining activity in the Spillamachene and McMurdo districts. TOD Alt- A VICTIM I Medical Statistics Prove that Eighty Out of Every Hundred tre Tainted Wilh Catarrh. Are you one of the eighty? Fool breath, pains over the eyes, dropping in the throat, and headaches denote it. Have you those symptoma? Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder never disappoints in a cure. "For years I was a victim of chronic catarrh. I had tried all kinds of cures, and had been treated by numbers of physicians, but no cure was effected until I hail procured and used Dr. Aguew's Catarrhal Powder. The first application gave me almost instant Activity tn Prospecting ������ Mineral King Will Be a Shipper. [From Our Own Correspondent,] Prospectors keep coming in, and everything tends to show that the country from Dutoh Creek to No. Two Creek is one of great mineral wealth. I am glad to announce that the powers that he have seen fit to put on u gang of men to open up a trail on the main brunch of-Horse Thief Creek. Trails have been made up the minor brunches by private parties. On Toby Creek Robert Jackson, better known us Texas Hob, has lately located a c'Lim in the vicinity of Horse Shoe Bar, and has two men at work developing his property, which��� judging by the spocitnens of copper pyrites shown by Mr. Jackson���one would infer thut he hns no reason at all to complain of his luck. Mr. Troycr und party, who havo located in the same neighbourhood and for the past month have been developing their claim, seem very well satisfied with the results of their work. Work on the Mineral King, Mr. Abel's galena proposition, has progressed rapidly, and as near as they can judge the drift is within thirty Feet of tlie load. Mr. Abel says that tho rock they are now working in is more or less mineralized. It is expected that ore from thn Mineral King will lie hauled to the river tbis winter and shipped the following spring. LATER. Iii the last issue of the Eua we noticed a small paragraph to the effect that Mr. Lindsay's property, tbe Mineral King, on Perry Creek, is a very promising one. We are inclined to think that tbe property alluded to is tho Mineral King on Toby Creek, which wns bonded to a Mr. Lindsay, and what is more to the point that the Mineral King allows more than a promise, and we can safely predict that in the near future the Mineral King will" take a high place among the mines of the Kootenay country Specimens brought in touiuhc from this property show that the drift has now reached the lead, although about thirty feet away from the cropping. They show both heavy cube and steel galena, and���what I believe is rare in this country���native cop) er. Mr. Bell, a prospector from Oregon, hns struck a three-foot lead of galena in the neighborhood of the Mineral King on Toby Creek.

Ladies say their village store-keeper has been talked into buying one of the very inferior makes put up to outwardly imitate the world-famed Diamond Dyes. They have tried these dyes, and the result was failure and loss of goods. Those country store keepers (many of them) will not put in a stock of Diamond Dyes until they get rid of their poor goods, This means loss of trade to the short-sighted dealer.

Connor was amongst the first farmers of Golden, having taken up hit present farjn on the south tide of the town eleven years ago. The holding consists ot 88 acres, and is ont of the most highly improved farms In the distriot, the homestead consisting of a fine house and outbuildings, inoluding stables 43x33 ft. The farm lands are In a high state of cultivation. The land is mostly level and of good quality, but a portion is tubjeot to flood from the sloughs of the Kiokinghorse. At tht time of our visit Mr. Connor was busy planting out 800 fruit trees, purchased from Mr. Hutcherson's nursery at Ladner's. These trees have been planted 33 feet each way. Mr. Connor finds crab applet do well in,this district. Of thit season's crops Id acres are in oats, seven teres in potatoes, three acres in vegetables, and a quantity of wheat hat been sown for fowl feed. Mr. Connor looks forwtrd to the time when the progress of Golden will justify him in subdividing into tub- urban lots the upper portion of his farm, whioh it well suited for the purpose. John Gibson wat the first selector of land In Golden, and he hatoeitainly got the pick of this oountry. His farm it high and dry, and the soil is deep tnd of first-class quality, while the Hospital Creek, whioh comes down from the mountains behind it, affords the very best facilities for irrigation. Tbe farm consists of 160 acres. 14 acres are cleared and under cultivation, the crops grown being mainly potatoes and vegetables for market. Mr. Gibson goes in extensively for poultry, and has already had great success in raiting the early broods tbit season. Mr. Gibson has planted ont a lot of strawberries, gooseberry, tnd apple trees this year. At the corner of the Donald road is the farm cultivated by Alexander Campbell, who is one of the best and most progressive fanners. The holding has been occupied by Mr. Campbell for the past tight yeara, and consists of 56 acres, of which 38 acres are in cultivation. The main crops are oats and potatoes���about seven acres of tbe former and two of the latter. Tha rest of the land has been seeded down to timothy for hay, and thit does well. Mr. Campbell grown apples very successfully, and hat planted ont another lot of trees this season. The homestead has an excellent dwelling house and stable, Mr. Campbell has had great difficulties to contend against in protecting bit farm againtt the flooding of the Hospital Creek, whioh bas been thrown on part of the farm by the C.P.A. embankment, and bat necessitated an immense amount of labor in protective work. The soil of tbe farm is of first- class quality, and the farm is well managed and cultivated. Along the foot of the hills Is Robert Wild's farm of. 180 acres, of which Ch) ���ores are flat land and the remainder runt oack on the foothills. About 80 aores are cleared and in cultivation. The eropa grown are mainly oats, wheat, and potatoes. There are 16 or 17 acres in oats, 13 acres in potatoes, and enough wheat It grown for the requirements of the farm. Three acres of timothy an grown for hay. Mr. Wild finds thtt for the first year timothy gives a light yield, while the second tnd third crops art good, bat after thtt it begins to ran out. He hat planted out a lot of applet thit season. Poultry are ktpt, the breeds being Plymouth Rock, Leghorn, and Chlnt. The toll of tht farm it good, and tht firm it wall situated for irrigation. Tht neit farm It thtt occupied by G. Anderson, who bat been settled hen for four years. Tht farm con- lists of 187 aorei, mon of it flat, though the low-lying land it tubjeot to floods from tht sloughs of the Columbit, and be hat had hit oropi destroyed by floodi for two yeari. In addition to tha flat laud undtr cultivation for props of oats and hay, Mr. Anderson hit ftnoed In, cleared, and cultivated a portion of tha hillside whioh ht has planted in potatoes, and has bronght water on to It by an irrigating dltoh from Lambkin Creek. Mr. Anderson hat planted out a number ot fruit trees thit season. Ht tlto keeps a well-stooked poultry yard. Mr. Anderson has put good buildings . od the farm, inoluding dwelling-house, stable, and barn. On tht south tide of tha railway lint there art three firms, fhit nearest to town It occupied by Riohtrd Lott, md consists of 189 aorta of Und, ot whioh twenty aofei art ����� -.��- *J��_m cleared and tinder cultivation. Mr. Love's orop is mainly timothy for hay, and of this he gets an immense yield. Oats, potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables are also grown extensively. Poultry are kept only sufficient for the use of the family, Mr. Love intends giving fruit growing a trial, having planted out a lot of strawberry plants and apple trees. Amongst the homestead buildinus is a commodious barn, 43x83 ft. Mr. Love took up hit. present farm about eight years ago. The next farm is one leased by Wm. Sutherland from P. Scully, of Victoria. The holding consists of 153 acres, of whioh 87 acres are in cultivation. This season's crops consist of 13 acres oats, two acres potatoes, and 10 to 11 acres of timothy bay. A lot of strawberries has just been planted out. Peter Lund's farm is situated opposite to that of G. Anderson. The farm consists of 186 acres, of which 31 acres are cleared and in cultivation. Of this area eight acres are in oats, one acre in potatoes, and seven acres in timothy for hay. Mr. Lund is a great sufferer from the overflow of the Columbia, and but for the fact that he has done extensive improvements he would have abandoned it. His case is a particularly hard one, but bo considers the evil can be remedied by the closing up of the sloughs which are the cause of flooding the low-lying landt. There ire no more farms till we reach Blaeberry River, where S. E. Hambly owns ono of the best ranches we know of in East Kootenay. Mr. Hambly hails from the east-county of Wellington. Ontario. He spert some years cattle ranohing in Alberta. He has made a splendid selection in his farm at the Blaeberry, which he took up two rears ago. Tbe land is rich alluvial deposit, and free from floods. A patch of land in front of the residence which has been sown in grass shows a wonderful growth of clover, and bears out the opinion expressed by Mr. Hambly that tbe soil will grow anything. Mr. Hambly has 30 acres in cultivation this season, of which 18 acres are under oatt (whioh is the principal crop), tour acres in timothy one acre of rye, three to four acres of wheat, one acre of barley, and one acre of potatoes. The garden is nicely kept, strawberries, gooseberries, and currants promising good crops. Mr. Hambly haa put a water-wheel in the Blaeberry River to raise water for irrigating the farm. The experiment is an interesting one. Mr. Hambly intends going in for dairying. A few cows are now kept, besides a good many poultry. A Lame Back.

From the Brockville Recorder, . Perhaps no prettier place is to be seen in Ontario thsn that at Newman's upper lock on the Bideau Cauul. At this station for a quarter of a century resided Mr. Peter Millar, who during that period acted in the capacity of locksman, and was perhaps the best known man on the canal, Mr. Millar is now a resident of Morrlckville, having retired from active life. To a correspondent of the Recorder he related the following experience:���"Por many years I was troubled with a lame back, which gave me great pain at times, and caused me much loss of sleep. I tried different kinds of medioines, but found little or no relief. The spring of 18951 was assisting at getting out ice one day when I felt something snap or give way in my back, and it was some time before I could straighten myself up. I now became so bad that when I laid down I was unable to rise without assistance, and I fully made up my mind that I had become a chronio invalid, and never expected to see a well day again. A couple of weeks after my back had almost en tirely given out. I saw by an article ia a paper tbat Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured a person troubled sirai larly, and I immediately sent and procured a box to test them. Before I had finished the box I found my back somewhat stronger, so I procured five boxes more, and by the time they were used I found myself completely cured. Since I took the last box I havo not bad a pain or particle of lameness, and ray health has been far better than it had been for years before, To ensure obtaining the Kcnuine always ask for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as there are many pink colored imitations. 84 D.

The new office is situated near to the railway rtatiou and post office. There have been many complaints at For: Steele about the new stage mall service. The main trouble teems to be that owing to the state ot Ihe roads the mail doss not get in till too late on the Thursday night for letters to be received and answered by the return mall leaving next morning. That means under ths present arrangement a daisy of a week in answering correspondence, and Is a just csuse of complaint. One remedy proposed Is thst instead of the stsgs lying over a day at Golden as at present Fort Steele should be ths point of lying over, so as to give ampls time to answer lettsrs Mr. Greenfield will probably recommend tbat this sag' gestion be given effect to. Mr. Green- field slso made fall enqairles with s view to open ng np mail routes via the south, snd ths matter is now bslng arranged between the Departments at Ottawa and Washington.
