FATALSNOWSUDE ■'■-■■' ' a*-' tfni. J. Lade Crashed to Death Beneath the Snow. KAliROW ESCAPE OP COMRADES. Harvry and Uouthwsrd Reaeuetl Wltlt Slight injuries—ISO Bilverton Friends join the Funeral Procession. William J. Lade, one of our well- known and popular young men was killed in the Ottawa snow elide last Sunday. Shortly after 2 o'clock on Sunday, word was brought into town that a now ilide hail followed ia the wake of tbe Ottawa slido, and the party at work excavating the road at that point were buried. As soon as Angus McDonald, the bearer of the news, hud aroused the (own, a numerous and excited crowd of about "5 men, provided with picks and shovels, started for the scene of the accident, on loot and in sleighs. When the slide occurred, the deceased and Bob Barley were at work on top of the slide, and Tom Ardiel, J. A. Harvey and Andy Southward were at work in the cut. A few rolling snow balls heralded the approach of the avalanche, and a warning shout was given by Tom Ardiel. Everyone ran for safety, aud Ardiel and Barley succeeded in clearing the course of the slide. The victim of tho slide was buried immediately beneath tons of snow. Harvey was invisible and only the head and arm of An ly Southward were above the moving mass. The alarm was at once given, and the men at work below the slide, began the ,wor_ of roscuo. Andy wag the first one to tie exhumed, and Soon afterwards Harvey was got out, neither of the men having received any appreciable injuries. By this time the re;-.Mirers from town had arrived with tools, and work wus at onco commenced to And the remaining body. In spite of the determined work done bvanxious friends, the body of Wm. Lade was not uncovered for two hours, but it is doubtful if the rescue had taken place immediately alter tlie accident, if any life would have been found in the body. Judging from the position of tbe body, when found, it seems that Lade had tripped after jumping into tbe cut, ami bad been covered by the moss Jof enow befort be could recover him -.■ii" The remains were brought to town and lemained in the Thorburn house until alter tbe formal inquest bad been held on Monday. The funeral took place after the inquest, the body being taken to New Denver on ttie Slocan, and from there to the cemetery on the hill. About 150 Silverton friends accom' panied the remains to tbe cemetery, and ptid their last respects to their comrade. The funeral service was road by Rev. > Mr. Powell. The pall bearers JMM Jack Smith, J. Anderson, H. Brady, C. Mo- Nichols, A. Williamson and L. F. Holt/.. The deceased was only 19 years old, and came to British Columbia from Nova Scotia only a littlo over a year ago. He was interested with bin brothers in Somo valuable mining properties in tbe Lardeau, and tbe coining year promised to be a bright ono for him. ma IHO.IEST. The formal enquiry into tho death of Wm. ,1. Lade was held here by Coroner T'ioubo on Monday. The following weio empanelled as a jury: J. G. Furquier, foremai; R. O. Matheson, J. S. Mar- 'arlaml John Pophum G. Thorburn and ('. iVoKicholl, After viewing the body tliejinw adjourned to McKinnon's ball to lieA tbe evidence. Thos. Ardiel told howJWlien at work, be had observed the approach of the slide and .shouted a warnMng. The slide was about 20 feel Iron/tbe deceased when he callod. He •at!the deceased jump, but nevor saw liinfl again until he was uncovered from tliel slide; bo thought deceased must liawe slipped when ho jumped. He liiplped excavate Harvey and Southward. Jilhn A Harvey, the next witness, cor- folborated the evidence of Mr. Ardiel. A)b the jury desired no more witnesses, tjiey then withdrew ond rendored the fallowing verdict: "Wo do upon our oaths, say that tho William J. Lade, on tho 27th day of bruary, in the year aforesaid, while ["king excavating the road through [Ottawa slide, was buried in a snow Be, and that his death was caused by location in the said slide." •Prings floods will soon be on us, and preparations should bo made for it. There is some cause for alarm over the unprotected condition of the small crook flowing from the main stream through the town. Piling should be driven in at the source of this stream and all possible danger of its flooding Lake avenue averted. This should bo attended by those directly interested at once. Old- timers predict a greater rise in Four- Mile, this year, than wo have had for some years. HAVE~¥OU REGISTERED ? Every man in West Kootenay eligible as a voter in the impending elections owes, as a duty to tbe people here, to see that bis name appears on the new voter's lists, and that his vote in cast in the Interest oi good government. Many in Silverton and its neighborhood have thus far neglected to register themselves, and our voter's list does not represent all our voters. It is especially urgent at the present time, that all who may, should register. The population of West Kootenay is fully one-fifth of tlie population ot the entire Province, and our contributions to tbe Provincial treasury is practically one-third of the total amount credited under the bead of each district. In order that a proper redistribution of seats can be made, it is necessary for the voter's lists to be made as complete as possible. Every British male subject, of the full age of 21 years, wbo has resided in this Province one your and in this Electoral District for two months, is qualified as a voter. Registration blanks can bo procured from Wm. Hunter, J. P.. and we hope everyone not yet registered will take advantage of this opportunity to enroll themselves at once. QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. Our celebration of the 24th of May, next, promises, by Ihe manner in which interest is being aroused among our eiti- *ens and neighbors, to bo the bigcest kind of a success. The subscription lists are being generotiHlv signed, and enough funds are assured to guarantee a liberal list of prizes. The Slocan City News, in a Bemi- humorous article, bids us hurry and complete our preparation in the limited time at our disposal. Judging by what we have heard ol the proposed intentions of Rosebery, New Denver, the Glacier, ami the other strong rivals in the field for Queen's Birthday honors, we wt'ro wise iu our hii-te, Thero was method in our madness.

New York, Feb. 22.—Nearly 100 telc- graph'ie dispatches were sent from Governor's islond, the army headquarters, to various points of fortification along the seaboard from Kaslport, Me., to Calves- tun, Tex., says the World. All of these fortifications in which guns aud mortars have been mounted are under the control of General Merritt, commander of the department of the eant. General Merritt spent very little of the day at the island, his staff attending to the usual amount of telegraphic, correspondence. During his absence, Colonel limber, adjutant general of the department of the east, was in charge. The colonel refused to discuss the reasons of the activity along the seaboard, except to say that everything now being done was merely the execution of a coast defense program outlined several months ago. H was learned from other sources that orders had been received on the island on Friday night to send from Fort Wads- worth to Sandy Hook 20 men to clean the big guns in the fortifications there and to transfer considerable quantities of ammunition. The same orders broughnnstruc- tions to send 40 men from Fort Schuyler to Willet's Point to clean the guns there and to overhaul the ammunition. Fort Hancock, at Sandy Hook, is also still in the hands of the army engineers and ordnance bureau. The engineers are constructing the ap- plneements for the guns and mortars yet to come, and when they complete the work the ordnance bureau will have to set the guns and carriages and test them before Ihe fort can be regularly transferred to General Merritt'g command. This work will not be finished until late in the spring and tlie quarters for the artillery will not be finished under the present program until October. Not. until then will Fort Hancock be an official reality. Two days ago .the artillery expert stationed at Governor's Island, the man recognized by army men as the most skillful artilleryman in the country, returned from a tour of inspection of the fortifications from Boston to Charleston. The last place he visited was 'F"ort Caswell, near Cape Hatteras. On his way back to Governor's Island he stopped at Washington and conferred with Secretary of War Alger. At Fort Caswell he found three high-calibre guns in splendid shape which he did not know had been set up. He visited tlie Bos- ten forts, tbe fortifications at Dutch and Gull Isla-ds, at the entrance to Long Island Sound, Forts Hamilton, Wads- worth, Hancock and Slocum, the fortifications nn the Delaware Hay coast, and at other places down the coast. Referring to General Miles' recent order to General Merritt, commanding the de- pertinent of the east, to immediately detail men and officers to all const defense points where modern guns are mounted, it was said at the war department today that, while tlie order wns issued as re*>ort- ed, it was nothing more than following out the plan of the war department, formulated several years ago, when the present system of coast defense was inaugurated. Tho order calls for at least 20 men and the neccssnry officers to take charge of each of such defense emplacements as have lioen completed and turned over to the war department. SULTAN OF SOKOTO PROTESTS. LAWLESSNESS AT SKAGUAY. i Governor Brady Urges Immediate Action by the Government. Washington, Feb. 21— The following letter received by Secretary Bliss from Governor Brady of Alaska, has been discussed at a cabinet meeting: "Tlie neWB from Skaguay by the steamboat now in port is serious. The United States deputy marshal has been shot dead in the discharge of his duty. Another man was killed at the suinc time and at the same place. Recently the steamers have been carrying great lists of passengers. Many of these are gamblers, thugs and lewd women from the worst quarters of the cities of the coast. They have taken in the situation at Skaguay nnd Dyea and appear to have combined to carry things with a high hand. The best people at these place* nicipal form of government. The United States marshal is powerless because he can appoint only a few deputies and when they undertake to act they are signaled out as targets by this ruffian element. One of this class was tried in the United States district court last December for the killing of United States Deputy Marshal Wattin in January, 1897, and was acquitted by the jury in the face of positive testimony. In fact these influences seem to be joined hand in hand and will surely go unpunished until the government takes action" and provides the necessary force at Skaguay, Dyea and other points. "Congress should grant immediate relief so that both naval and military officers can act when required by the civil authorities. The United States marsha, should ha\e a patrol vessel at his command with necessary accommodations for deputies and a proper attendant. I do not see how he can perform his duty as executive officer of the court until he has bucIi means of locomotion entirely at his own command. "At the present time a large and important mining property is held by a number of miners at Bcrner's Bay. This property wm recently placed in the hands of a receiver by tlie court but the receiver has not come into possession up to this time. In this instance there is much to be said of the miners' action and their self-control, but it, is of such a nature that violence may be the result. The marshal has no means of reaching that point with a sufficient force to carry out the instructions of the court. Judge Johnson leaves by this boat to settle this affair amicably if possible. "Two weeks ago or a little more a gang if men commanded Captain Patterson of the steamship Al-Ki to discharge the natives who were handling freight on the wharf. They attacked the natives and beat them cruelly in the face of the deputy marshal. The captain was obliged to compromise with them by paying them 50 cents per hour for work on the wharf, but he insisted that the natives should work on the vessel. "I am sorry to report thnt the court house at Juneau has been burned to the ground. "So far the winter has been remarkable for mildness and this tends to bring the crowds sooner than they were expected." The letter was dated February 3. MOB AFTER THE MURDERERS.

The former town is an important place on the Sokoto river, about half way from the sultan's capital and the River Niger, and ia within the Rritiah sphere. The sultan of Sokoto has commanded the French force to halt about 40 miles from the capital. The Royal Niger Company's representative deputy agent, William Wallace, is holding the company's force with ammunition and stores in readiness and is awaiting instructions to assist the sultan of Sokoto and to secure French evacuation of British territory. MEN RETURN FROM DAWSON. Bring Hews of a fatal Accident nnd tbe Finding of n Big Nngget. Victoria, B. C, Feb. 20.—The steamer City of Seattle reached here yesterday, bringing five men from Dawson, Carey Warren of San Francisco, Jack Melntyrc of Fort Steele, H. Peterson of Victoria. Jack Hanley of Snn Francisco and another. They report that a $450 nugget was found on Peterson's claim nl Skook um gulch and that Mrs. Jesaop was aeei dentally shot and killed in Dawson, her hushanti having dropped a revolver which went off. Among the passengers on the ill-fated steamer Clara Nevada were Al Noycs and K. C. Bonicke, both of Juneau. There is a report in the north that a party with ♦165,000 in dust waa on board. Little Rock, Ark., Feb. 22.—E. G. Massey, a prominent citizen and constable of Franklin township. Little River County, wos murdered six miles from Ashdown last night by Ned Aiken and his son and two negroes, whom he was trying to arrest. Massey was shot from ambush, his lungs being torn from his body by bullets. Massey had previously arrested Charley Johnson, Aiken's son-in-law, for carrying a pistol, and Johnson had escaped. About midnight Constable Massey aud Richard Dickens, a deputy, sorted to Aiken's house to arrest Johnson. When near the house the officers were fired upon from ambush and Massey HI from his horse, his body riddled with buckshot and Winchester balls. The negroes rushed from cover and opened fire upon Dickens, but lie put spurs to his horse and escaped. Excitement runs high and lynching is probable if Aiken and Johnson are captured. MURDEROUS SAILOR ABOARD. American Ship M. P. Grace "tearl? i.oai Captain and Wife. San Francisco, Feb. 22.—The American ship M. P. Grace arrived today from New York with her police signal flying in the rigging. C. A. Hansen, one of the crew, was in confinement for attempt ing. the lives of the captain and his wife. Hansen had been confined in a sailor's locker for 128 days. According to the story of Captain De Winter, the sailor had manifested a spirit of insubordination early in the voyage and the captain was obliged to discipline him. Hansen swore vengeance, and one night crept into the cabin where the captain nnd his wife were sitting, Tlie sailor was armed with a pistol, and announced his intention of killing De Win ter and his wife. The captain grappled with him nnd disarmed him. Help was summoned and Hansen was placet! in confinement. Washington, Feb. 20.—Secretary Long and Assistant Secretary Day of the state department, had an interview with the president yesterday lasting nearly an hour. Mr. Day read a cablegram from Consul General Lee at Havana transmitting a request from the Spanish outhori- ties in Cuba that Spanish officials be per mitted to join with our people in making an investigation into the cause of the disaster to the Maine. The matter was discussed at considerable length and the conclusion reached, and Lee will be so notified, that while this government is willing to afford the Spanish authorities all reasonable facilities for conducting the investigation, yet it is thought best that the first inquiry shall be made by our own commissioners. The request of the Spanish authorities, therefore, will be respectfully declined. The apparent difficulty of sending down divers to the Maine was relieved, if not entirely removed, by the statement by Senor Dubosc of the Spanish legation, that a complete nnd harmonious understanding between Captain Sigsbee and the authorities at Havana had been reached on the matter of divers, and that the Spanish authorities viewed the Maine as part of tho sovereign territory of the United States the same as the United States legation situated in foreign territory. The waters of Havana harbor are, of course, Spanish territory and some confusion has been aroused by the idea that this jurisdiction over the waters attached also to the wreck in its present helpless condition at the bottom of the bay. Captain Sigsbee will be recognized as the one to direct the operations and to send down the government divers for such inspection as he sees jiroper to make. Senor Dubosc feels assured, however, that Sigsbee will extend equal facilities to the Spanish divers so that the inspections may proceed together. Expert Opinion. Washington, Feb. 20.—The opinion of one of the leading experts in the use of high explosives, Professor Agler of the >rdnance bureau, was today asked as to the cause of the explosion of the Maine. "As to the question of the cause of the Maine's explosion, we know that no torpedo such as is known to modern warfare can of itself cause an explosion of the character of that on hoard the Maine. We know of no instances where the explosion of a torpedo mine under a ship's bottom has exploded the magazine within. It has simply torn a great hole in the ship's bottom, through which water entered and from which the ship iinnk. Magazine explosions, on the contrary, produce effects exactly similar to the effects of the explosion on board the Maine. In seeking the cause of the explosion of the Maine magazine, we should naturally look not for improbable or unusual causes, but those against which we have hail to guard in the past. The most common of these is through fire in the bunkers. Many of our ships have been in danger at various times from this cause, and not long ago a fire in the Cincinnati's bunkers actually set fire to fittings, wooden boxes, etc.. within the magazine, and had it not been discovered at the time it was, it would doubtless have resulted in a catastrophe on board that ship similar to the one on the Maine. I shall again emphasize the fact that no torpedo exploded without a ship has ever produced or according to our knowledge cun produce an explosion of n magazine within." Fatality- In the Dlaaater. Washington, Feb. 20.—The navy department has compiled the following summary showing the total results of the Maine disaster from available official information up to tonight: Total num- ber of officers and men on board the Maine, 35.*); total number of officers, 20; total number of men, 329; total number of officers saved, 24; total number of officers lost, 2; total number men lost, 246; total number officers injured, none; total num- ber men injured, 57; total number men snvetl, 7(1: doubtful (men). 7. The seven men appealing as doubtful probably represent that number or less whoso lives have been saved, but who can not be identified at present on account of errors in trun mis-ion of telegrams. The 57 appearing as injured arc included in the 70 appearing as snvetl. Two men reported ns having died in the hospital are included in the total of 240 appearing above as having been lost. Chicago, Feb. 10.—Tlie Canadian Puciflc road yesterday exploded a bomb among its American competitors by announcing a wholesale reduction of rates. These cuts affect business in two directions. In the first place the rates from all New England points to Minneapolis and St. Paul are slaughtered, and again New England points and points in the state of New York have had a blanket rate applied so far as all business to the north Pacific coast points is concerned. These transcontinental rates have been cut almost in two. The present rates from the Atlantic seaboard ti> th north Pacific coast are $79.35 first class and $07.40 second clas't. Today the Canndian Pacific will make these rates from all points in New England, $40 for first class and $30 for second class. Rates to St. Paul will be cut from $29.50 first class and $28.50 second class to $20 first class nnd $19 second class. Northern Pnclflc Meeta It. Tacoma, Feb. 19.—The Northern Pacific railroad announces a big cut in passenger rates to become effective today, Saturday, February 19.

The Erin mineml claim, situate on the north side of the Iron Mask anil Copper Queen mineral claims, about five miles southwest of Kamloops, B. C and owned by Messrs.. Heat tie, Buxton and Blair, and oil which development work has been going on for some months past, is said to be proving itself one of the best properties in the camp. Gn New Year's eve an immense body of ore was struck in a crosscut made from the shaft ut a depth of 40 feet. The vein of solid ore is about seven feet wide and gives an assay from $19 in gold to 30 per cent copper, as well as a proportion of silver. Other assays made run in value from $26 to $62 per ton. At Coal Hill the Pothook 7x12 shaft is being energetically sunk by a force of six men, making an average id about oue foot each day of 10 hours. The shaft has reached o depth of 40 feet, all in much shattered and decomposed rock, with the fissures tilled and sep- oiutrtl by thin plates of native copper, and, as yet, impregnated but spnrsely with rich copper glance. One corner, the southwest, is a sight worth seeing, being plastered with bright native metal. Altogether this claim is a most interesting study. Just how the native metal came to be deposited in such profusion throughout this great mass is a conundrum not yet solved, ['here is not much, if any, doubt, that it these placers.

China has also undertaken to open one treaty port in the province of Ilunana within two years, and proposes Yo Chan. near the Yang Tea Kinng, near the lsirder of the province. The Tsung Li Yemen'* reason for the delay is thnt the central authority is at present jx-werless to enforce the immediate opening of any port in the province of Hunan, or to protect foreigner! there. China has given Great I'lihiin satisfactory assurance* that she will not alienate to any other power any portion of the Yang Tse Kinng valley.

Leiter makes denial of the report that he disposed of 5,000,000 bushels of his May holdings of wheat during yesterday's excited trading. He was credited with making a profit of $500,000. He said: "I not only did not sell a bushel of wheat yesterday, but bought wheat. The current prices are only the beginning of a range from $1.25 to $1.50 per bushel. That is what I propose to sell my wheat at." Mr. Leiter added that he had engaged freight room for 1,000,000 bushels of wheat since February 1, and thnt he now controls room for about 4,000,000 bushels. He made the significant remark that most of the 4,000,000 bushels had been sold to consumers in Europe, principally to English millers. He has avoided, he says, disposing of any wheat to speculators on the other side of the Atlantic in order that they might not become his competitors in the near future. lie of Central America has ceased to exist, the principal state, San Salvador, having withdrawn from the union.

AN EARNEST WORKER. Wm. Hunter, who has the interests of Silverton always in view, 1ms reminded our local member, J. F. Hume, that Silverton has not received what is due us in the matter of appropriations. The need of funds to repair tho Four-Milo waggon road, the urgent ueed of a school building, the lack of fire protection and repai rs to trails, in and around our town were all presented by Mr. Hunter. A grant of at least 83,000 should be given to the road which will b> sadly in ueed of repair after the snow Blides and floods have ^done with it, and the maintenance of our communication with the mines on this road is a vital necessity to us. The fire protection which every town is entitled to, has so far been overlooked for Silverton, and we are absolutely without any nieuiia to extinguish any lire that gets beyond the incipient stage. The owners of mines on Four-Mil: should urgo the Legislature to grunt us the required sum for our road, and to see also that it is properly expcndT ed. Mr. Hunter deserves the thanks of all Silvertonians for thus starting the ball rolling, and we (mould see that he is earnestly backed up in hii requests. If the waggon road could be extended to tho lake, at the head of the gulch, it would result in several groups more being added to tho list of our shippers. There is some talk in town of agitating the converting of the Silverton-New Denver sleigh road into a waggon road. We are informed that a very small sum would accomplish this, and the New Denverites should unite with us towards carrying this scheme through. Benefit would accrue to both Silverton aud New Denver through this chtnge. ting the 24th of May was published in the Now Denver Ledge, as an authontic piece of news. Wo judged from the stylo in which it waB written that tho idea was to givo expression to the latent humour of Editor Lowory. As no notice of any meeting was given to us, and no other meution of the celebration was seen in tho issue of the Ledge, our deduction was apparently confirmed, Wo regret exceedingly that our plans have clashed with those of^our neighbor, but we have gone too far with our prep- parations to withdraw now friwi the field. Looking at the ail'air impartially, aro wo not entitled to tho 24th? Silvertion has already shown that she can make a success of a celebration, and we tire in a much better position now to entertain our visitors than at ; other previous time. We don't want ! tho earth, only the 24th of May noxt, which W9 are entitled to by every i claim of justice. Silverton News Co. DEALERS IN Fruits and Conleetionery. Tobaccos, CIGAK8, ETC.

C SHOULD BECOME A LAW. A bill, restricting Asiatic emigration, is at present before the Dominion House, and will doubtless secure the unanimous support of our members. It is introduced by Mr. Maxwell, who asks that the bounty on Asiactic emigrants be raised to $000 instead of as it now stands, §50. If the figures were multiplied by ten, the change wonld meet with the approval of all in this Province. The Legislators and residents of Eisteru Canada take a very apathetic view regarding Mongolian emigration, but to us it is a real live question. It will be necessary for us to impress this fact on our Eastern co-patriots and to show them we are in earnest. Another bill now before our Local House, bears on the same question. It is introduced by Helmckcn, a representative from Victoria, and forbids the employment of Asiatics on any public work. SILVERTON'S MANY ADVANTAGES Those who have been fortunate enough to hayo passed the wintry months—so much dreaded by nearly overyono—in Silverton have every reason to congratulate themselves oi, the sheltered position in which our town ia placed. While u few miles on cither tide of us the full force of all the winter's blast were felt we, pro- teoted on every side by the shield which nature has made for usi experienced no wind, little snow and enjoyed a season which only a fews towns iu the Kootenay could boast of. Wo can see occasionally, beyond the j bay, around whiclr our town is built, the angry whitecaps of Lake Slocan raging, and beyond this ocular proof that the wind is disporting itself above us, wo would never", from any feeling j of discomfort experienced, be aware of it. For a residential town, Silver- ton possesses advantages unknown in most of our sister cities. The best of spots along the lake shoro for bathing are found around our bay, the numerous springs of the purest water run- uing to the lake from the hills behind us. assures us an abundant supply of water without recourse to the lake, the sheltered townsite, proximity to the mints, ubwlute immunity from forest fires or Snowslides, stores carrying the largest stock-' in the S,!c.ea*t, and scenery unsurpassed by any locality, are some of tho appreciable features of Silverton ONTARIO'S ELECTIONS. The elections held last Tuesday for the Ontario Legislature show a great gain for the Conservatives, but Hardy still retains a small working majority, Toronto and Hamilton returned ull Conservative member's' Loudon ai.ti Kingston went for the Liberals, and Ottawa returned a member far each party. John Dryden, Minister of Agriculture, was defeated in North Ontario. Two Liberals were elected by acclamation. Haycock, the leader of the' Patron party, was defeated by Callagher, Conservative, in Frontenac. J. M. Gibson, Commissioner of Crown Lands, is beaten in West Hamilton, No election was held iu Russell, as tho returning officer was prevented by storiin, reaching thor.) in time for nominations. The election there will take place next Tuesday. The usual number of rocounts will, of course, take placa now, and the closeness ot the election will no doubt, cause many protests. The Independent party elected only one out of 22 cand idates in th" field. Tho last Legislature was composed of Independents 17, Conservatives 28 and Liberals 19, The ('lections just held gives tho Independents 1, Conservatives .'10, Liberals 4."), with two constituencies to hear from. THAT CELEBRATION. It iB with considerable surprise that we learn that the notice regarding New Denver's intention of uppropru- WANT AN APPKOPRIAT ION. To the Honorable, the Speaker an.l the Members of the Legislative Assembly of tho Province of British Columbia, in Session assembled: This, the petition of tho undersigned residents and taxpayers of the Slocan Mining Division of the West Kootenay District, sheweth that Whereas, The sleighroad constructed in the fall of 1896. between tho towns of Silverton and New Denver, was principally paid for by subscriptions of the aforesaid towns, and has since been kept in repair without the assistance of the Government; and Wjiekbas, The volume of travel over the said road demonstrates, not only the desirability, but tho necessity for tho widening of tho said sleigh road to permit the passage of wheelod vehicles; and Whereas, The widening of the said sleigh road will have the effect of completing a waggon road between Silverton and Sandon, via New Denver and Three Forks, and will provide a connecting link between tho waggon roads now existing on Four-Mile, and Carpenter creeks; and Wiiki.kas, It, is estimated that the tuiu of §1,000 properly applied will give the dehired improvement. TniBBVORB, ft is requested that the said sum of 61,000 be, as soon as possible, appropriated and placed at the disposal of the Uoycrnment Agent at New Denver; to bo expended for that purpose. Tlio above petition is now placed for signing iu several places in town, and the contained requests to tho Legislature, should commend themselves to all. It is also hoped that if such appropriation asked for is granted, that tenders be asked for from the public for the widening of tho road. Granting public work behind locked door without allowing all to bid, is too prevalent iu West Kootenay. t t t t t t I W i t COMING IN SAAiVVNVVVVVVNiVWVV 200 Gases Goodwin's Candles IQO cases Hamilton powder One car Cumberland coal and one car fresh groceries.
