UPPER COLUMBIA NAVIGATION CO'S CHARTER "With reference to the article in lust issuo on the Upper Columbia Navigation and Tramway Company, we are assured that the Company had nothing whatever to do with the canal scheme between the Upper Columbia Lako and the Kootonay Rirer, and that as a matter of fact the Navigation Company was not in existence at the time that canal was projected. It is further pointed out to us that the statement that the Company has monopolized the Valley lands is untrue., as the Navigation Company's land rights aro based on very different conditions from those of the other charters granted in the district. It is true the Company was authorised to take up an area of public lands for each mile of tramway that it built, the laud covered by snch rights amounting to somewhere about 1(1,000 acres; but on the other hand there wero conditions attach ing to these lands which prevented tho coin- pan}* availing itself of its right, except to a very small extent, covered up to the present by threo lots of land aggregating about 1,000 acres. The position in which the Company is placed will be evident from the following clauses of the charter :��� " 1. It shall be lawful for the Lieut-Governor in Council to grant to the Company the pro-seeds (as hereinafter defined) of such lands, not exceeding two thousand acres for each mile of tramway to be constructed by tho said tramway Company, aud not exceeding in all 10,000 acres, as shall he selected by the Company in accordance with the conditions hereinafter contained, from the area bounded as follows:���On the north by the Southern boundary of the Canadian Pacific Railway blocks; on the South by the fiftieth parallel of north latitude; on the East by the eastern boundary of the electoral district of East Kootenay; and on the West by the western boundary of said district, upon conditions of their commencing and constructing the said portion of the line ofthe Company within the time and according to the terms of their Act of Incorporation, and upon the further condition that the said Company furnish due security for such construction in the manner hereafter mentioned. 3. The lands, tha proceeds of which are to be taken by the Company, shall be pre-empted, leased or acquired in the manner provided by tho land laws of the Province in force, and shall be in blocks of such size i.h is provided by tho said laws, provided that the said pre-emptions shall be cf full size of lu'O acres. 4. Upon the Company desiring to select any lands which it may be in a position to provide with an occupant, in accordance with the provisions of the Land Acts, it shall notify the Lieut-Governor in Council of such facts and of descriptions and amount of land which it desires to tele&t, and of the nature of the same, and of the particular provisions of the Land Acts under which tbe same is intended to be acquired; and it shall therefore be lawful for tho Lieut-Governor in Council, upon the recommondatton of the Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works, showing that all the conditions hereof and of tho Land Act hare been compliod with, to order that the proceeds of such lands, whether the same be in the shape of a bonus or rent for timber, or grazing leases, or payments for lands pre-empted, or in other shape whatsoever, shall be payable to, and collected by the Company, but all provisions of the Land Acts respecting the rights acquired and the conditions thereof shall be observed by the person entering upon tbe land, with the exception that wliere by the Land Act payments are required to be made to the Government, the. same shall be deemed effectual iF made to ihe Company." From the above clauses of the Company's charter it is therefore evident that the Company has no block of land set aside whatever, und cannot have any hinds set aside until such time ay it hns settlers ready to go upon the land. This article will therefore remove the apprehension that has existed lhat the Company had a blati* Uet charter over some 1(1,000 acrc'3 of land in the vicinity of Spillimachene. As a mutter of fact the Company finds! it wolf'nigh impossible to ake tipj land under tho terms of the charter and these lands at SpiJlimuchone are just as much open to pre-emption direct from the Government to the settler as the lands an; open to the Company to pre-empt whenever it can [get a settler who will take up a piece of land. The Company cannot put more than tho Government price on lands which it may so pre-empt, aud it is thus in a very different position from the C. P. R. and Kootenay land charters, as these companies havo the right to levy what price they like for the land included in their charters; and they have quoted as high as ��.f.'. per acre for some of their lands, An injustice has therefore been done the Company, for winch we express our regret, as we do not wisli to misrepresent the position of any individual or corporation. The public generally have been under the impression that the Upper Columbia Navigation Co's charter was subject to the same terms as the other charters in the district, and now that the facts are Ix'foro us we are glad to learn that it is not, so. Of all the bereavements which are possible to a home, the i-^i-ff^s^0^9, C-*" a child is A^VMsWFperliap.. the most disappointing, and the hardest to bear. During tbe heated spell in the summer in ffitiB! / "^L^-K I New York-Clty as iBrt^^^^j J mnt,yas a thou- I U&^^^tir^Ks^-n sand babies have died in a week. Of course, in a crowded city, with its unsanitary d istrictft, ni n n y of these deaths would have occurred any way. The fact remains that this tremendous mortality ���ras to a great extent due to the lack of Inherent resisting power in the victims. These babies when boni had iu their bodies the seeds of disease. The deadly heated term only shortened the period of their sufferings, If a woman wishes her babies to be healthy and strong mid able to resist the usual ailments of childhood, she must take proper care of herself in a womanly way during the period of gestation. A woman who Buffers from weakness and disease of the organs distinctly feminine is unfitted forwifehood and motherhood. Dr. Pierce'a Favorite Prescription is a wonderful medicine for ailing: women. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned. It makes them well and strong. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain, slops exhausting drains and (riven rest and tone to the tortured nerves. Thousands of women have testified to its almost miraculous merits. Many of them have permitted their names, addresses, experiences and photographs to be repro- duced in Dr. Pjerc*��'a Common Sense Medical Adviser. This great book used to sell for Si.50, now it is absolutely free. It tells all about the home-treatment of ordinary diseases. It contains 1008 pages, and over 300 Illustrations, Several chapters are devoted to the diseases of women.

A medicine that is constantly and incessantly working needs repairs ai certain intervals. , The oilman frame, worn by mental and physical toil and subjected to the worries and cares of our modern life, has need of repairs and bnilding up In the hot summer weather nervous energy is at a low ebb, and as a con* ���sequence, nervous debility, terrible headaches, dyspepsia aud a run-down condition make Ufa a burden for thousands. Paine's Celery Compound is the great repairer and builder when weak ness and sickness prevail This great medicine has the power of rapidly repairing the tissues and purifying the blood. It bestows the proper nutriment to all tho weakened tissues, bringing strength and true vigor, thus averting breakdown and collapse. Thousands of lives are now fast wearing out that can be prolonged and made happy by ihe present use_ of Paine's Celery Com] ound. Its use today will save months of sickness, misery and suffering, Take no substitute; get only "Paine's," the kind thnt cures. 484 It seems that the little trick of the Government in regard to the Cassiar elections did not come off as anticipated. Tho returning officer has reached Victoria aud appears 10 have fixed the nominations before theGpv't agent arrived. The returning officer^is the authority for tbe statement that there is not ono government candidate in the field for Cassiar. G. A. MoTavish is a pronounced Oppositionist and Cunt.

Clifford, who are tho oilier two candidates are running ns Independent und have disavows] the Government, This means thai the Opposition artj practically certain of two Cassiar seats, thus.giv.ingthein 22seats ns against the Government's It!. The Opposition will therefore face Parliament with a strong working majority. We must take this oppor tunity of congratulating the supper ters of the Opposition in this district on the splendid victory that has .been achieved for the party, a success which, in face of the difficulties of the contest and the large majority that had to be overcome, is almost unparalelled in Canadian politics.

LOCAL AND GENERAL. The Harry Lintlley Company closed n very successful season at Oolden on Saturday night. J. Beresford was found in an unconscious slate at the Canmore mine on Saturday, and died on Monday Jas. Henderson has gone to Field to carry out contracts for the erection of two dwelling-houses there. The B. C. Iron Works of Vancouver has closed its doors. A winding up order has been applied for. A quarry is to be opened on the hill east of Field for the supply of stone for the erection of the new round house at Field. Wm. Bennison, President ot the Kootenay Consolated Company, who are owners of the Bennison mine, will resit Oolden next month. Archdeacon 1'entreath held services on Board the Dnuchess on the river on Sunday and it waa much appreciated by those on board. The Great Northern has bought the Corbin system of railways in Kootenay, including the Red Mountain. S.iokane Falls and Northern, and the Nelson and Fort Shepherd railways. Owing to the Fort .-Ucele goal being overcrowded, C. M. Edwards brought down by last boat four prisoners, which are being sent to Kamloots prison to relieve the pressure at Fort Steele. The C. P. B. are surveying a line from Arrowhead to the Kootenay Lake. The Revelstoke Herald snys it is intended that this should be the connecting link with the western terminal of the Crow's Nest Road. We regret to learn that the daughter of Mr. McCrimmond, of Beaver, who was quarantined at Oolden from diphtheria, died last week. Two other members of the family were ill from the same disease. Owing to tbe delay in opening up the trail from Bear Creek to the Ben nisonmine, by way ol the Btaver Valley, Major Clohecy has bad to arrange with F. Deacon to get his sup piles in by way of the North Fork of tbe Spillimachene. Mr. Roy, Dominion Government engineer, arrived in Oolden yerterduy and proceeded up the river to inspect the work done by the dredge this season. Mr. Roy will proceed to Fort Steele to report to the Marine Department on the work necessary to improve 1 he Kootenay River. "I have used Chamberlain's Cough R-medy in my family for years and always with good results," says Mr. W. B. Cooper, of El Rio, Cal. ���' For amall children we find it especially effective."

Hankins, now Jying in Donald gaol ���waiting trial. Mr. McCarter has reported to the Department of Justice the latter case, out of which other matters will probably arise. Mr. W. C. Wells returned from the Opposition conference at Vancouver on Batujday. aod was much pleased with the solid front which the Opposition party was found to present. The leaders of the party looking forward with hope and confidence to the inauguration of a better system of government under their regime. With reference to the mail service and the Upper Columbia Navigation Company, the Manager, Mr. V. H. Parson, informs us that the steamer only carries the mail to Windermere and points beyond. The Company carry no way mall, but contend that the present arrangement is a convenience to tbe people of Windermere particularly, who now get their mail on Tuesdays instead ol Wednesdays as hitherto. Mr. C. H. Parson, as Manager ofthe Upper. Columbia Navigation Co., informs us that there is no connection between the Company and the International Co., who are owners of the Gwendoline, so that tbe local Co. has nothing to do with the refund of the penalties imposed ir. connection with the North Star last year, In (he face of the wretched at temps mads hy soma cf the Government or- gaus to prove that Premier Turner has been sus.ainsd, it is quit refreshing to read tbe manly confeasion of defeat in the Grand Fqrks Miner, which says: "Well, tbey didn't da ��� thing to us - excepting roll us in the dust, jumped on us with both feet, walk all over us and then sit opon ns. We made a good fight but the odds were 'again* us and we got it in the neek. We're whipped and we know it." Persons troubled with diarrhoea will be interested in the experience of Mr. W. M- Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorrance. Providence, R. I. He says: "For several years I have been'almost a constant sufferer from diarrhoea, the fro* (icont attacks completely prostrating in* and' rendering me unfit for my duties at this hotel. About two years ago a travelling salesman kindly gave ine a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Much to my aurprise and delight its effects were Immediate.

When coming ont from the Bennison mine on his last trip Major Clohecy came by way ol the Beaver Valley.

Mitchell, of Columbia Valley, who was returning officer at the election, writes informing us that the statement is not true that he opened the poll at Shorty's and then removed it to his own house. It appears that a number of people in the valley understood that tbe poll was to be at Shorty's, and were annoyed to find that the returning officer had fixed his own house, which is out of tbe way from the main road, as the polling booth. Shorty's was undoubtly the proper place for the poll being held as it was so much more central. Messrs. Mercier and Macaulay were the victims of a bard circumstance at Spillimimachono the other day. They came down from Bugaboo and had been waiting for the boat, when Mr. Mercier went into Spillimachene House to have dinner, wa ch being kept meantime for the boat. As soon as it was seen the men rushed out, but the boat swept by at full speed and Messrs Mercier and Maoaulay were left, feeling very ingignant that although their signal was seen, the boat did not return to pick them up. Capt. Bacon's version to the story is that the flag whioh should be put out as a signal to stop was not there, and he was not aware that there were any passengers until be had got so far down stream hat he would have to turn the Dutchess, meaning half an hours delay. Siill every effort should be made to accommodate the travelling public, and it was decidedly hard lhat these men should be left, even after thev bad succed in calling the attention of the boat. There la no joy in this world equal to the happiness of motherhood. A woman's health is her dearest possession. Good looks, good times, happi ness, love and its continuance, depend on her health. Almost all ol the sick-: ness of women is traceable directly or indirectly to some deraegmeut ol the organs distinctly feminine. Troubles of this kind ore often neglected because a vety natural aud proper modesty keeps women away from physicians, whose insistence upon examination and local treatment is generally as useless as It Is common.

AGONIZING PAINS. ttndared ��y Tboe* Who gweT.r Prom Sciatica--A Victim Tails Bow to Obtain Belief. Probably no trouble that affliots mankind causes more intense agony than sciatica. Frequently the victim is utterly helpless, the least movement cauaing the most agonising pains. Those who are suffering from this malady the following statement from .Mr. John Hayes, of Hayesville, York Co., N. B , will point the road to relief and cure: Mr. Hayes says:- " For upward of twenty years I have suffered from weakness and pain in the back. Some four years ago my trouble was intensified by sciatica settling in my right leg. What I suffered seems almost beyond description. I employed three doctors but all to no purpose: I had to give up my work entirely, and almost despaired of life. This continued for two 'ears-years filled with misery. At this time I was advised to try Dr, Williams' Pink Pills, aud after using six boxes both the sciatica and the weakness in tbe back which had troubled me so long, were gone. I was again a well man and feeling fifteen years younger than before I bagan the pills. Nearly two years have passed since I discontinued the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and in that time no symptom of the trouble has shown itself. Under God I thank Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for wha- they have done for me." Mr. Hayes voluntarily testifies to the truth of the above statement before Edward Whoseud, Esq., J, P., and his statements are further vouched for bv Rev. J. N. Barnes, of Stanley, N. B. 480 .*, . A Manly Candidate. Says the Nelson Tribune: ��� "Wolls, the defeated Opposilion candidate in nortoast Kootenay, is made of pretty geod stuff. He was defeated by a man upon whosesupport he relied. TIibsuc- cessful candidate's major)y was a narrow one. The! e were certain irregularities cummiied which were sufficient iu themselves to upset the election, but Wells has announced that he will not he a party to a protest. He says that his opponent got a majority of tbe votes and that is sufficient for him. When it is remembered tbat the party in whose interest Wells made tho race, won a majority ofthe seats contested for, and that in the event of reopening the constituency he would be almost certain of election, there is much to applaud iu Wells' manliness." Ou the same neglect the Kootenay Mail says' "Mr. Wells,style could be followed with advantage by some beaten candinates and does him considerable credit." Cranbrook.
