A Chat With Mr. A. McLeod, M. P., a Progressive Ontario Conservative, Who Has Lum- j.ind bering Interests in Kootenay. In an interview with A, McLeod, M. P. for North Ontario, who wns in town 011 Saturday, the Unit A Ml ascertained that very link' linn so far lieen decided hy the Ontario luiuliermi.'u who have bought the old DeCmv mill at Arrn.v- heiid, heyond moving the plant to this side of the Ann. Active operations will he postponed until the season is fairly opuued. Mr. McLeod is very enthusiastic over the prospects of this section of-, Kootenay, width he considers has a bright, future before it. lie. does not think the immense resources of Western Cinada from Rat Portage to the Const have their equal on the continent of America and expects in another ten or fifteen years to see a wonderful progress made in the west. Mr. McLeod is a Conservative of the progressive, kind and his visits to the west have convinced him of the astonishing foresight of Sir John Macdonald, who in spite of the sneers of I he opposition and tho half hearted support of most of his own followers, could anticipate thc immense value of the opening up of tlie west to Canada and carry his project through. Mr. McLeod said that he could not help regretting that the master mind had not survived lo witness the great impetus given to the fulfillment of his anticipations by the development of Kootenay within thc last few years. In reply to a. suggestion of the Herald. Mr. McLeod s.iid ho thought it would be an excellent idea to pass an appropriation to provide a special excursion and take every member in the house on a tour through westeili Canada. The average member of parliament knows nothing at all about it and the . western members are too few to make their influence felt. In consequence the. needs and lequireiiients of the west and particularly British Columbia are neglected in favor of better known and more numerously represented provinces. One thing is certain, however, the_ proyiii_ie_liiis_(j_tiiigdvii friend in Mr. McLeod, as it does with every member of progressive idea;*, who takes tho trouble to pay it a visit. poultry, sausages und every thing going. He knows, that the Ruvelsloke people want the best of eva>-ything and ia ready to supply it.

The Engineers and ' Firemen "��������� have their chairmen in Montreal endeavoring to settle some schedule matters with the C. P. K. ollh iuls. The business has taken far longei'than it was expected in and there is admittedly no-lie hitch, but. the exact nature of it has not been communicated to the members-. It is undei stood that one amendment to the schedule that the brotherhood men propose is a general increase of 15c. per 100 miles. Tliis is to cover the extra work and time required by the new system of enorm- iou������ly long trains. Oil this account it i.s not thought likely this point can be thehitch that is causing delay in the negotiation.���������Voice.

The chief train dispatcher "handle**; the power," distributes the cars' to the various stations, decides what freight trains shall be run and is in immediate charge of thc countless details that arise in tho operation of trains. The duties of the superintendent and the trainmaster keep them away from the ollice about half the time, traveling up and down the line, stopping overnight at important stations and terminals. The chief dispatcher is ahvayi at headquarters and is thc man of details. Uo is assisted by a "trick dispatcher" for each dispatching district, Lik������ the sentinels at Gibraltar, the three trick dispatchers never leave their post unguarded. Tt may happen for a few minutes some Sunday night that there is not a train running, "not * wheel .'i-turnin on the division," as the men say, but there sits the dispatcher, the ever ready representative of the oliicial stair, the incarnation of alert administration. AV'here business is heavy and the management is progressive, there is a night chief also, who thus renders the position of ehicf dispatcher uninterrupted. These chiefs work 12 hours each, as nervous tension is less than that of a trick d'spatcher, who is "glued to the train wire" his entire tour. In the absence of a night chief the details are looked after liy the trick dispatcher, whose work becomes much mora responsible, The chief in such a. case usually comes down after supper and maps out the "night work and some times breaks in Inter with instructions on the Imi 11 wire, which is "cut in" at his room. The railroad man is seldoii entirely out of touch with his work. The telegraph sounder lulls the tired chief to rest and wakes him in the morning. So trained is his ear that if wanted at night the dispatcher has.to sound the private call on the wire only'a few times to elicit >i response from the sleeping chief On Sundays the chief is on hand most of the day in obedience to the' unwritten railroad 'commandment "Six days shalt thou labor, and the seventh come down to. tbe office and "catch up." -In most occupations "all work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy," but in railroading it makes him a bright boy. so stimulating and fascinating is the excitement of the work.���������Ainslie's Magazine. At the Ticket Window. V When does the next tiain that stops at'McAllisterville leave here?" " You'll have to wait four hours V " I think not.,' "Well, maybe, you know better than I do, ma'am." "Yes, sir, and maybe you know bettor than I do whether I am expecting to travel 011 that train myself, or whether I am enquiring for a relative that's visiting at my house and wanted me to call here and ask about it aod save her lbs trouble because she is packing up her things and* expects to take that train herself, and not me, an"d"sheWill'liave to-do the waiting, and not me, and maybe you think it's your business to stand behind there and try to instruct people about things lhey know as well.as you do, if not better, but my idea is that you're put there because they could not use j-ou in the switching department, andr perhaps you'll learn some day to give people civil answers when they ask civil questions, voting man, my opinion i.s you won't!" (With a gasp)���������"Yes ma'am." MITH Redistribution. Thos. Taylor, M.P.P., speaking to the 11ehai.ii, expressed an opinion that the total votes cast ;in each constituency at the Inst provincial general election vhould bu taken into account in framing a redUlribution measure quite as much as the census flguies. He is strongly in fovor of leaving the (letnils of redistribution to an impattial commission composed of the judges ofthe B. C. Supreme Court. Mr. Taylor does not credit that John Ley nf Victoria, whose ' extraordinary election poster, has reached town, is the recognized government candidate although he calls himself so. Ley is a man without weight, of strong socialistic principles. ���������Call at A. X. Smith's and pick out your wedding and Xmas cakes, 500 lbs ready made on hand, all sizes and shapes.
