However Mr. Ploivright had not got the writ vvith him ,nor had he been sworn in. In consee-uenee'he was unable* to act and when nomination papers and the usual deposit of $200 were tendered him on behalf of ,T. Forrest of Donald, hi' declined to accept them. In the meanwhile Mr. Griffiths had not yet arrived and one* o'clock, the hour for closing the nominations, came and went and nothing had been or could be done. At four minutes past one Mr. Griffiths walked up lo the court house' and Mr. J. Pitts tendered him papers nominating ��������� himself, J.* E. Griffiths, us candidate, which - he refused to accept.

IIo was simply, declared,, elected by acclamation. Afterwards in the courthouse Mr. Griffiths admitted to Mr. Corson that he thought the papers handed .him"by, Mr. Corson, were papers nominating himsellV J. E. Griffiths, as a candidate, and therefore refused theni. Mr. Corson replied that the government.-did .not pay hiin for thinking anil that he should have been there on lime*. Since, although it vvas perfectly legitim.ite for Mr, Wells to bund his nomination papers and deposit to the returning oflicer at any time and place afLer the issue of lh'" proclamation he chose, still the mere fact of their being in possession of that officer was riot enough.

Editor Hekald���������Sir,���������I ask space in your columns in behalf of working- men lesident in this town to ask where and how a man has to go about to get a job on this river bank now. There are men here who live here that have been promised work from the start hut kept waiting from time to time. Novv the foreman tells them they are full handed, and when asked about promising and then putting on strangers they say those strangers have heen sent to them and they have to take theni. Now, who has a man to go to t*i get those orders and how much do they cost, as there are some men living here who would like to get work if it does not cost too much. They have no money to pay in advance, hut might contribute 11 percentage of wage if necessary. Some of them have been here feir years anil are willing to work at anything tbey can get. - Novv, any one giving information that will put these men on the right track will confer a great f.-i-vor to workingmen.* J. McCallom. up to the hour of 1 p. in. on February 6th, 1809, was not proclaimed to be the place of nomination, but the town of Donald. B. C, where, nccirding to Section 03 the returuingofficer Should at the time stated iu his proclamation have proceeded lo the hustings in the open air, at such a place as lhat all the electors might have free access thereto, and should there have iiiiule in the presence of the electors proclamation and should then and there have read the writ of election and then and there have mimed to the electors present the person or persons who had notified him in the manner provided by law that they were candidates for election to fill the vacancy iu the legislative; assembly." The returning officer not being present these duties devolved upon the election clerk, whose business it certainly vvas I o have declared T. Forrest elect eel by acclamation, if he had been properly qualified to do so. The nomination pel haps belonging to W. C. Wells, uot having been produced at the time and place mentioned in tl.e returning officers proclamation were useless. It is true that the returning officer appointed by the government, bad them in his pocket; but that does not belli Mr. Well's case. The returning officer not being in person at the place of nomination was really not0 the* returning officer for time being at all. Of course under these circumstances the action taken hy Mr. Griffiths during the aftprnoon in declaring W. C. Wells elected by acclamation was beside the case altogether. He might just as well have declared him Lieut.- Governor of British Columbia or Emperor of Timhuctoo. The election clerk being unable to do his duty at the appointed hour. Mr. Griffiths had no power to come in at any hour or day afterwards that suited his convenience and declare anything, much less to declare-a candidate elected whose as I know of no reason fur resigning, and as'l have 11 clianicte'i-'to 'maintain',* as a ma'tt.-t- of justice I'demand the fullest investigation of any complaints made against me, and I feel' confident I can show a clear recoiel, and thut the investigation vvill show those making the complaint up in a very unenviable light.

To this straightforward appeal for simple justici;���������the' little tin gods ut present ruling the Victoria most have so far paid no attention. All that Mr. Eberts' question in the house elicited was a copy of the Provincial Secretary's demand on Mr. Sibhald to resign and of Mr. Sibbald's answer as given above. In. his letter .the Pro.: vincial Secretary ' adduced as the reason for the demand that "certain representations had been made." What these representations were "and who made them has never appeared.

Now thi* Herald hereby challenges Kellie to pioduce the charges ng.iii^t Mr. Sibbald if there are; any. The HERALD challenges Kellie to come nut like a man and not be sneaking t-.ny longer behind the Lieut.-Governnr's petticoats. Tliere is nothing gained for Kellie by all this dodging and skulking. Everybody in town knows thai Mr. Sibbald's dismissal was due partly to Kellie's own bitter personal animosity against Mr. Sibbald and partly to the necessity of making a place for some one of Kellie's supporters.

MISFIT IMMIGRATION Exchange The report of the select stantlmg committee on agriculture and coloni- yation divulges some curious insido information regarding the Galician pesi AVhat is this country" coming to' Doukhobors pouring in by thousands on the eastern slope, Galicians i-warming over the central portions, and rats taking possession o������ Dawson City, one would imagine that Canada had become a veiltable clumping pround for the refuse of civilization Mr James A. Smart, deputy minister of tht interior, vvas put into the sweat box some time back and explained the success of Ualician immigration -is being due to a certain - Piofessor Oleskow, whose sphere of usefulness lies in Austria. It must, be admitted that the Professor is u hustler, since he has sent forward no fewer than 15.000 Galicians. Mr. Smart was cure- fill to explain that this gentleman wns not an agent, and received nothing for his work; though on being pressed,' he admitted that the genial Professor had been given an advance of ioOl) to carry on his vork. Of S,000 European immigrants for the past year, more than 4,000 vera Galicians. A little over a thousand were from Great Britain, and a very small number indeed from Ireland. Ot course, as Mr. Smart said, this was all the; Professor's fault. He vvas such a much better hustler than the other fellows working elsewhere. The Galicians were a smart race. Although they came from that part of Poland annexed to Austria, they spoke neither Polish nor Austrian, but a distinct and almost obsolete dialect of Russian, which no one elso could speak. Hence they must be smarter than the general run of peoplo.

February 1.���������A Washington special to Thu Tribune says: Maximo Gomez, Cuban Commander- fJcnei-ul, demands nearly 5(J0,OU0,UO") from the United States and refuses to disband his "army" until tlio money Is paid. Uo lias repudiated tho ar- ningouu'pi made by Callxto Garcia, who came to Washington'with authority from Gomez lo provide for the return of the Cubans lo tlieir peaceful pursuits, and whose work was barely accomplished beforo his sudden dentil on December Uih. It vvas then agreed that the United States, lu order to secure the prompt resumption of labor on the plantations of tlio Island, and with a view to promoting tho speedy revival of prosperity and settled conditions, should distribute about ?li,- 000.000 among the 30,000 said Id bo sllll under arms'* In the ratio ot $100 u man, the ollicers in proportion io thoir rank to receive a greater amount and the ordinary enlisted men to bo discharged willi sums loss than $100, ck-pendlng on thc length of sorvieo and other considerations. For ovor u. month the pay corps ot tho army has been making ready to carry out this arrangement, thc national defence fund being available tor the purpose. Gomez hns come out against lho scheme, which was operating satisfactorily to most Cubans and has demanded greater stakes. It Is olliclally known hero that he is endeavoring to dissuade Cubans from accepting ollice under the American occupation and is uiging all tho natives of every grade to stay with lilm ln the field, until the United States is compelled to ac- cncio to his torms of disbandmoiu. Gomez alleges that li.s army consis'.s r.f 40,000 men and he insists that most of.lhem shall bo paid for three years' service at the ratos whicli prevail in the United States army. He fixes tho date of the Cuban declaration of independence at February 'i-i, 1893, as the beginning of lho period for which himself and his forces arc to bo remunerated, and for himsolf, with tho rank of lieutenant general, he will lie satisfied with 511,000 annually, tho American rate for that grade.

It would appear that there were" two freight trains bound eastward and that on the arrival of the first train at Medicine 'Hat, it vvas unable to get where the switch engine was working.

He was a capable and ^rust- worthy engineer, and the feeling .is general that his engine must have got away from his control and that he had no ��������� time to attempt to master her. ._.. .Conductor French's, death will cause a shock to his many friends in .Calgary. "Ben" French, as In. vvas popularly known,-was-employed for some years'as brakesman on the C. & 13. under conductors Rankin and Clarke, and by his knowledge of his business and courteous manner soon secured promotion to the position of conductor.

FROZEN TO DEATH One ol the Largest Farmers in Canada Hiram Walker," the" well known* distiller,-of Walkerville, is dead.. But Mr. Walker was a good deal more than a distiller. Ho vvas. perhaps, tne' largest farmer in Canada. The Bun of July last mentioned a lot of ln- _ formation about the extent of Air. 1 Walker's operations in this direction. There were then on the Walker farm G9 acres of hops. The vines were not supported by poles, as ,bi the ordinary way. There was a row of-telegrapn poles all around the field, and from these poles No. S wire was strung from one side of the field to the other. From this.-wire .again strings -were ��������� hung,- and 'these strings supported the vines. In harvesting the strings were cut from the wires, and the vines were lhen stripped. But the hop' plantation is not the chief feature on the Walker farm. Cattle byres are located about a mile from the Walker distillery, and from these byres 1,800 or 2,000 of swill-fed cattle are turned out every season, the swiil being carried _In_iinderground_pip.es_frpm_the^dlstljh. lery to the byres.. , . The use of tho by-producers of tlio distillery does not end even th.rc. i-rom the byres five great pipes run a milo still further east. - These carry the liquid manure , from " the cattle ���������stables to the Walker tobacco planta- ���������tion. A few. years ago this manure was poured 'into a near by hush, and It was so sirong that it killed gr'ea; trees. But this' double vv aste has now- been stopped. From late fall until ���������early spring the rich liquid pours out ���������over the ground devoted - to the cultivation of tobacco. The:ground al- 'otteel to'thls-purpose covers 130 acres. "For 1-5 years consecutively tobacco has been grown on the same land, but the manure from the stables has ~not only rendered the land able to sustain "this drain, but has made it so rich that mushrooms spring up spontaneously when the tobacco is .not growing. 0 SALMON CAHNERS Banks Shut Down on Them and Hardships Ahead Vancouver, ���������- February 3.���������Owing to the Hon.

Tho men at work at tint mill were all These Deposits Will be Worked as Soon as the Transportation Problem is Solved���������The Revelstoke Route Favored by Mr. St. Cyr���������A Lift for the Big Bend Steamship Project- Interesting Letter from Moncton, N.B, The Rig Bend navigation project, has received fresh impetus from the receipt this week of letters from a gentleman named Winter uf Moncton, N.B., who represents large interest- in the* very extensive and valuable mica deposits situated near the Tele." Jaime Cnchu on this side of the Yellow-head pins. The'se deposits lie almost, due north from Revelsloke and not far ft-iiin the Canoe river. Tliey are of immense ex tent and the mica produced from tlicm is of lbe finest quality, as may be scon from a specimen tiow in possession of the Herald. The only olist'icle lo their development, is their inaccessibility. Under those circiim- stn nccs lln* present owners who are at this very time negotiating with I/ineluii capital to t-ike hold of the property and work it are naturally greatly interested in the project, now well cm foot to establish a line of steamers on the Columbia, nortn of Revelstoke. From Mr. St. Cyr, of the Dominion Government Topographical Survey, Mr. Winter has received the following report as to the practicability of navigating tho northern waters of the Columbia and Canoe river. The report is very short and is here given in full. It is most significant to any far seeing resident of this place of the possibilities of- trade territory which nature has placed in the bands ot the business community of Revelstoke if tbey have only sufficient. enterprise* and energy to avail themselves of the: geographical advantages possessed by this town. If the transportation problem can be overcome those mica deposits will be worked, and if it'is overcome by our aid, tho business arising from them vvill centre here, and besides this we shall add as trade* territory to this town the whole of t.he country north of Coldstream to Tete Jaune Cache, a country very little known or pros- Miirtin's famous clause excluding aliens from taking up placer claims hvmiih to be likely to become a regular boomerang for thc Martin government. It was intended partly to embarass Premier Laurier in bis negotiations with tho United States government. This point was not quite apparent to the people of this province, who have have not yet got accustomed to Mr. Martin's peculiar methods of making provincial politics subservient to Dominion affairs and vice versa, But llie eastern papers who know their Joseph better, seized on'this aspect of the enactment at once. Joseph himself knows what ho is doing ns be is already breathing the direst threats of what be will do if the Dominion government disallow the. nevv legislature. But if Mr. .Maitin fancies that he is Riling to work up the people of this province over the exclusion of aliens from pl'icer claims in the same way that he worked up the people of Manitoba over the school question, then his political astuteness has failed him. The communities most concerned, that is the mining districts, do not want to see Americans excluded from any privilege hitherto enjoyed by them as miners and prospectors under the laws of the province. The mining interests of this country owe: a great deal to the pluck and enterprise of American prospectors and miners. It. was the American placer miner who led the way into Cariboo, Big Bend and Wild Horso in the sixties. We do not want any legislation hitting.at Americans particularly the kind of legislation which bars out the prospector and lets the capitalist como in. This feature' of the Martin clause alone is sufficient to kill it-in Kootenay, and if the Dominion government chooses to veto the enactment theie will be no excitement in this part of the world. If Premier Laurier finds tbe clause interfering with his negotiations at Washington, he can safely it, The Leading $iore." ." No Bluster, No I'tias, Just ItuBines?, That's All."
