It. f GOOD ROADS TAYLOR BOOSTS FOR HOME CITV Talks Interestingly for Mail- Herald Readers on Questions lhat Affect Them "I took a fide around the city this afternoon in Mr. McCartcr'B automobile," said Hon. Thomas Taylor, Minister of Public Works, during his visit to Revelstoke on Monday, "and I don't think I know of a city in t^0 Interior that has had such a Bteady growth as this city has. When I lived here a few years ago there were only one or two houses on Sixth street, nnd now tho street is pretty well built up with comfortablo homes." Mr. Taylor whose great Interest in tbe roads of the province has earned for him tho cognomen of "Good Roads Taylor" is making his annual trip through the province getting in touch with the spots where good , roads are most needed and wbcre the I handsome surplus whieh the govern- , ment has can best be spent. I "This matter of making roads throughout thc Interior is a difficult one and an expensive one," he said. "You cannot stake out a road in any systematic manner or any straight line, but owing to the physical feature, especially surrounding Revelstoke, you hnve to follow the lines of least resistance, making tho road wherever it appears possible. This usually is along the course of the streams of the province, but gradually we are getting the Interior opened up and incidentally creating a good market for Revelstoko. I believe in Revelstoke, I believe it is by nature and by situation intended to be a big city, and though it may take years to accomplish this end, I believe it will eventually be one of the best cities (if not the best already) in the Interior. "My government haa faith in Rev- stoke too, and there is little in reason that my old home city can ask that will not be granted It. That Is, of course, as far as my depart - ment is concerned, and I believe the other departments are fast learning that Revelstoke is one of the most strategic points in the province. "Let me first call your attention to the handsome court house you are this year getting. This is ons of the pet subjects with which I have to deal. I am most interested in it because it is for my home constitu - ency and plan after plan has been rejected, until now that a satisfactory set of plans are about completed 1 can assure you that Revelstoke will have one of the best court houses in the Interior. It will cost close to flCO.OCO and will be completed by the fall of thiB year. The tenders "will be called for in a few days to be opened up May 23rd, and as soon after that as it is possible the ten ler will be awarded. The building will be both commodious and handsome architecturally. It will be a two story structure with full basement, containing a much larger number of otlices than the present one. Its exterior will be of brick and marble, the front entrance lieing decorated with large marble pillars, which I consider very handsome. I cannot in so many words give you an ado - quatc idea of what tho building will look like, but I can promise you that your paper will be the very first ono in tho province to publish the cut ol the new building and then you can judge for yourself what it will be like. We are building for the future in this respect, and while just now the building may Ite considered a little more commodious than absolutely necessary, still my department has learned by experience that It il always well to look to thc future." "But," enquired tho Mall-Herald, "you cannot fill nil these offices with the employees you havo just now, can you7" "Oh no," replied thc Minister of Public Works, "but we are continually adding to tbe staff as occasions demand, nnd occasion demands pretty frequently, and It Is quite probable that we will require a numlier of new employees by next fall. " "Don't you think it would he a nice Idea to give the old building to thc city for some purpose," enquired the scribe, "or whnt are you going tO do with it?" "Yes, that, possibly would lie a go„d Idea, but then wc never dispose of buildings lhat way. In all probability it will either lie Bold by private Bale or public auction." Speaking of the Work of road building throughout this section, Mr. Taylor could not help but Compliment the excellent work ol Mr. I5d. Trimble. "I think the work he has done equal to anything in the province. Thc work In well done In tbe face ot a. Kreat many difficulties and altcitclher I am delighted with the (Continued un I'agfl Six.)

Whether this he bo oi nol it |M not thi province ol tins paper to Bay or even to (suggest, until sufficient evi dence Is produced to warrant such q suggestion. The verdict uf the coroner's jury alter an Inquest "that thc evidence waa insufficient to Indicate the motive," precludes any BUggest ion on our part as to what directly or indirectly caused the death. The coroner's jury has decided that fui us as far as It was possible for that jury to form an opinion from the evidence produced. Whether this gambling proclivity or the loss of money at the gaming table influenced "Jack" Bailie to take his own lift* ui nut is a matter that the deceased alone could enlighten us on. Some there are possibly who could prove that the deceased did gamble and did lose heavily in the game, hut that of course does not prove conclusively that this was the direct or indirect cause of his death. However, it would be superfluous for any man tu attempt to prove that gambling goes on in the city or that it goes on to a great extent. Everybody is convinced that it does. In hotels, in private houses nnd to a mure or less degree in churches some form uf gambling Is constantly in evidence. There is the card table, there is the slot machine, there is the pool table, there is the crap game, there is the ratllc and a score of other forms of gambling and they ail take place under our very eyes, and every Jay of the year. These aie all games of chance in which somebody statuls a chance to win and Bomebody to lose, and that constitutes gambling. "Jack" Ilnil- le took Ins chance and lost if that was the cause of the despondency which resulted in his taking his own life. If it is the Intention of these well- intentioned persons to put a stop to this gambling, then the power is in their own hands. Vie have a police force here which is ijutte Capable of dealing with the question, but as we understand it the police force is largely hed.-ed in by instructions from the police commission. This latter body tells the police what to do and what not to do. It tells them lhat :' there ia a quiet little game going on any place to "just leave it alone" but by all means pick up thc t; pro- fe-sional or tin lioin gambler. The resu'.t has been that nine cases of tin horn gambling were prosecuted and convictions secured in every case last year, while private games flourish. Whether the police have receiv- rJ instructions from the commission to leave local tin horn gamblers al one is not divulged, but there are ns who openly aver that resident tin horn gamblers do ex;*--, if this be so. then it is clearly the duty of those who know that such things are going on tolay au information against '.he person or persons carry ing on the game, and in every way to help the police to secure a con- . *n.

This being so, aud the school hoard will know best whether it is so or n. it, it would seem rather moan to treat the doctor's suggestion in such a high handed manner and put him to any little inconvenience in his department that might arise from Ihe prevalence of two schools in the Province with the same name. True this paper was in the -front rank in the suggestion of giving the privilege to the citizens ol naming the school, true that the secretary of the school board kindly surrendered Ins vote to the editor of ibis paper in the selection of the name, and true that it rust the • board $5 to secure the name, yet the grounds are sufficient for the board io honestly consider Dr. Robertson's suggestion and change the name of i the schuol, if ihey think to do io.

We nre also prepared to recommend a further subsidy for the route past Death Rapids to Canoe river In expectation that the Do - minion government will do some work above Death Rapids in order to make the river navigable. "Then, too, you must also remember that we have made a considerable grant to your hospital and nlso a sum of $1111,IMXl to your new school" Asked if he expected a general election this year, Mr. Taylor expressed himself us hardly of the opinion that there would he until after the census is taken. "Tbis," he said "would no doubt give the West a much larger representation in the Dominion parliament." tin the Question of reciprocity Hon. Thomas Taylor holds some strong opinions. "Tbe entire population of Uritish Columbia is opposed to it," he snid, "on the ground that the agreement would work out most disastrously to the infant fruit industry of the province. A reduction on fruit entering Canada from the United Stales whore the orchards are well established and fruit can be produced much moro cheaply than in Western Canada will very seriously retard the industry in our own province. But apart from this altogether there is no general demand for n change in the tariff relations of the two countries. The Dominion is just now enjoying nn era of except - lonal prosperity, and there is abso - lutely no reason why conditions should bc upset and the commercial status of the country thrown into chaos." Mr. Taylor left Tuesday morning Ior Golden an.l will be hack to this city today, and afterwards will mnke a general detour of the country in the interests of good roads.
