She says she will not return until she gets a grizzly. This week will inaugurate a new era in the history of the ltossland camp in respect to the ore production For the next few weeks the production will range between nine and ten thousand tons weekly, and when the coke and freight concessions granted the Lu lint by tho Great Northern take effect, the tonnage will be increased to ten or elovon thousand tons weekly, and main talned at that figure.

But he came to that conclusion, and you might as well try to pound reason into a wet hen or a supreme court as'into him. He sentenced me to "do" the ball game Saturday afternoon as punishment. I was ready to apologise, this being the easiest way out of such things, but he isn't as easy as some other people, and I had to ''do" it. 1 never "(lid" its much baselmwIingasHome children who pass my kennel, and to he detailed ou a tiling like this fairly scared me. But I managed to get my hearings nnd reached the scene of battle soon enough. I always had the idea that baseball was a scientific game. I don't think so now. It does not require any special training. You must'be either married or single, though; and I discovered that if you want to play better you muHt get married; if you '{Alftftt are single they just let you go through the motions. But you can't play hall in New Denver if you have the ineaolett, are in jail or dead. Otherwise there are no restrictions.

Up to the present time the great manufacturers of the United States have reckoned too little with the strong commercial spirit of the Dominion ana have not counted sufficiently on its great natural resources. The nien who are at the head of commercial affairs here have been working slowly but surely. They have been gradually developing mines and other things and have looked forward with confidence to the time, which is now at hand, when the money kings and princes of commerce of the United Kingdom would realize-that it might be of real advantage to take a serious interest in our affairs These Canadians no doubt have realized more or less that a combination'with the powers of wealth in the United States always would be tainted with a desire on the'part of their neighbors to control everything and swallow -if—possible-whatever-there™was*"to*be* had that was good and profitable in Canada piecemeal, with perhaps the ulterior motive of swallowing entire Canada, and the constant aim hae been to effect a sort of offensive and defensive partnership with the mother country. Not only have the rich English-speaking merchants and speculators worked to that end, but the French millionaires and leaders of commerce have bent their energies in that direction, and the two classes are working hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder. The Canadians at the head of tho great Canadian-English company, are James Ro«a,!theiScotch-Canadian street- railroad king, who is gradually becoming one of tho iron and steel rulers of the world, and Senator Forget, the resourceful French-Canadian financier. A conference has recently been field, headed by these two men, at which it was formallv decided to form a gigantic iron and steel trust, involving the Da minion Iron and Steel company and the British corporation, which is considered one of the strongest factors in the iron trade in the United Kingdom. The name of this corporation is still kept a secret but It is admitted that It controls works In the principal British mining areas, the Midlands, Lancashire anil South Wales. Senator Cox, an Ontario man whose shrewdness in large business enterprises is • bvword, and whose name is ou tho list of directors of nearly every Eiworftil industrial company In tho oinlnlon, had only a day or so before come from England, where his work had been to bring the Uutish corpore tion Into line. This apparently he has •done and from thn netnl-oflicial announcement made, it seems that the only obstacle In the way of HoUhlng up thedeal is the question as to the value that shall be put on the property owned by the two great corporations. The specialty of the English i-orjv»ra. tion Is tlie manufacture of machinery, and Senator Cox, it mom, ha* con" vincetl the manager* lhat Meet for Ihe purpose can he imported much cheaper from here than it can be obtained at ' home, while the actual state of the pro * duct is much more suitable to their I nfi'd* > ft looks as if negotiation" hail been going on for n long tiuu* ami that thii wn* really the aeer*t which ai«hnat««t : the Canadian pople in waving aside I the tempting offer* which undent- , Ably h*T« \men inatl-r* to thmn in ihi* _ |i*«t by the United Staff* ^eei corj«>ra- ; tiuii Steel 4ii he the great fiutm nf Canada* com- A fine trade iu the first above named article has been carried on between Canada and Sou*h Africa during the war. The Ogilvie Milling company of Canada invaded South Africa with its goods three months ago via New York, and 8in»e that time lias shipped 75,000 barrels of flour. As for the transcontinental fast line, tho general opinion among the merchants is that it would--be a great success. Up to the present time-a great proportion of Canada's trade with Great- Britain has passed through New York, Boston and other United States ports, because the merchants claimed thev received the benefit of quicker delivery. If this can be remedied there will revert to Canada hundreds ef thousands of dollars which in the past have been paid to the United States. Quebec will make a great bid to be made the western terminus of the service. Montreal people think that it should be established in Montreal, but the consensus of opinion is that no matter what place is selected the service should Jie^estabbshcd at the earliest possibis moinent.." Immigration to Canada is being continued at a wonderful rate. The farmers from the United States keep pouring into the west and new plans for settlers fromEuropeare beingdeveloped. daily. The latest scheme: is to start a colony of well-to-do Germans in the Northwest, and plans have been completed to begin with 100 families, which are to be settled there by next spring when the frost is out of the ground. It ia understood that these farmers are to have from $750 to $1,000 each before thev start from Germany, so that they wiil be insured against any unexpected disadvantages they may encounter during their lirst year's stay. The Canadian Paciiic railway has been trying for a long time to secure this class of Hcttlcre, and thn- man in charge of the movement, Otto Swarg of Berlin,!* convinced that it will boa success, because there are iu Germany many hard-working people who havo saved up $1,000 and who can do nothing to better their condition, Mr. Swarg leaves in December for Germany, where it seems he already has picked out a number of settlers who will bo ready to leave for Northwestern Canada under his guidance. imowNicn in a attArr.

B.'C. and can lie traced to many parts of the enrth. It comes to the front every Thursday and has never been raided by the sheriff, snowslided by cheap silver, or subdued by the fear of man. It works for the trail Mazer as well as the bay-wintf owed and champagne-flavored capitalist. It aims to lie on the right side of everything and believes tha hell should lie administered to the wicked in large doses. It has stood the test of time, nnd an ever-increasing paystreak is proof that it is better to tell the truth, even if the heavens do occasionally hit our smokestack. A chute of job work is worked occasionally for the benefit of humanity and the financier. Come in and see us, but do not pat the bull dog on tho cranium, or chase the black cow from our water barrel- one is savage and the other a victim of thirst.

AUGUST 28, 1902. PKOM THK KDITOK'S UPPKK STOPK. Signs of life are again showing in the Kootenay country. There is little hope for the mind that cannot be changed. Miners are very scarce in the Slocan and Rossland camp. Smelter smoke causes hope to spring eternally in the Kaslo breast. There is a world of wealth for any company who will develop the tourist trade around New Denver. Under glass figs have been grown in Toronto this summer. The leaves should find a good sale in that city. JHhe-Boer- ..*arAnArals_ ts—c -declined—to capture England the other day. They could take America without firing a gun, or popping a cork. A Rossland tourist spent some time in New Denver last week prospecting for a nickle cigar. He could not find even a trace and left town disgusted. The Americans are advertising their goods extensively in South Africa, while Canadians think that their light can he seen through the thick sides of a bushel. The intelligence of western towns can be judged by the number of inhabitants who read Lowery's Claim. Nelson, Vancouver aud Winnipeg are the leading cities for its sale. The strain of city life must be intense, for more people died in Nelson this year from heart failure than from any other cause. The disease is practically unknown in New Denver. Through the Kernie disaster 15 suits for damages have been entered against the Crow's Nest Coal Co. The total amount claimed te $22(1,000. That amount of money would kill a lot of coal dust. shot at him, although several dry politicians were seen taking a "shot" with him. The tendency of these days is towards trusts. When the limit is reached revolution will spring into life and make things as though they had not been. We cannot get away from it. History repeats itselff, and ozone is still sweetened by thunder storms. The system has not switched since time began, ever it ever had a beginning. The Lord's Day Alliance people are probably, without knowing it, seeking to curtail freedom in this province. Through their fanatical worship of a certain day they seek the subjection by law of all who do not think the same way. The press looks on idly and says nothing for fear that a dollar might slip past their job room. The liberty of the people is greater than the notions of any band of cranks. In her book Mary MacLane moans aloud for some villain to ruin her. Villains must be scarce in Butte or else Mary is so silly and ugly that nothing masculine will go on her side of the street. Her boo!TisTKe~MllIMF~traiirTifiaF was ever foisted on an innocent, unoffending public. If she lives and ever comes to her senses she will blush to think of the days when her literary vomit disgusted all sane readers.

A financier in theory as a rule does not amount to a whoop in Rosebery when confronted by problems that only cash will solve. A million dollars in hot air will as a rule scarcely buy a stack of white chips. In other words a gaseous million is seldom worth a dollar of solidity. New Denver offers an excellent opportunity to capitalists who wish to develop the tourist trade. We kno,w of no investment in the west that will pay better than exploiting the field now open around the Lucerne of North America. New Denver is destined to l>e probably the greatest tourist city of Canada, but capital Ih necessary to shove it high enough so that the world can »ee it.

Some time ago when he was seeking votes his roar for keeping up the wages of labor was excessive; and his horror of a scab was pitifully intense. The price of weekly newspapers in this province is §2 a year, and publishers who wish to pay their bills find it little enough. When Houston had the cinch his price was $4. Now, he does not regard the interests of other laborers in his own profession, but jumps in and cuts the price to SI, much the same as scabs do when thinking only of self, they mar the wage scale. There is no occasion to issue a paper as good as the Tribute for $1. a year in this glorious western country. A Johnny-comfc-lately would not do it unless, like a dog in the manger, he desired to hold all the hay until .the sheriff came. Houston may be brave and willing to fight when some other billious crank crosses his trail, but his upper stope is barren in patchefe. He may be worshipped by those whom his forceful roughness hypnotizes, but when it comes to exercising sound business sense he can only show down a four flush, lit is a free country, but no man is much greater than his weakest part. n u TheH.
