,v i.'ivA-'K r$3%& .-*>:&_ *-». ESTABLISHED 1892 MONDAY MORMNG., OCTOBER 28, 1901 DAILY .EDITtoir MAYOR FLETCHER INTERVIEWS HIMSELF AND HAS IT PRINTED. AS IS HIS WONT, HE TRIES TO MAKE BLACK APPEAR WHITE. Mayor Fletcher lias finally got his type-written interview wilh himself in print. It appeared in full in Sunday morning's Minei." The statements in the interview do not belie the mayor in the least. The interview does rot contain one single statement of fact, hut as duplicity is the mayor's strongest characteristic, much allowance should be' given him when he rushes headlong into iM-irit. ' , The mayor stated in a meeting of the 'council, that the electric lighting plant ' *was not paying and ne. er had paid a cent He reiterates that statement in his interview,'and says: ""With regird ■to the present'"plant, since its purchabo really all its earnings have gone oack into the j.lant, but the capital has been ■ steadily increased in order to release the - money so earned." The city's books, which%i are under the supervision ot auditor McDermiad. who is admitted to be one^of the best accountants Hin Nelson, show that the electne light1 plant has earned .,.56,544.- 44, at a cost of ?21 57S.08 for, mainten- . ance and operating expenses, or a profit of $34,976.80 vm% three- years' and four , months. /The capital invested .is ?70,- -i24.25, $70,000 j--ot which was leceived , from the sale of debentures'Leai ing interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. The intciest' on-the capital invested amounts to $9416, which deducted ' Horn the netrearnings leaves a profit of $25,560.36. It these flguies.are wrong Tho Tribune'prefers to have auditor Me- Derm7 ad say so, rather than mayor Fj^-cher. * -, , • , A-iothe.' statement in tho mayor's iu-. terviow is al follows: "Tt must seem" ahaiird tc any unbiased ratepayer that -- the seven businesse-jxiea ,in the council . deliberately waiit'to^give any' privileges or franchises. They simply wish to provide-light for the time being." Mayo/ 1'lotcher would'nave it appear that tlio ctv-* council is solidly in favor of the proposed deal with the West Kootenay Power & Light Company. This is merelv in keeping with the mayor's iabitof trying to make white appear black One alderman (hying) ls'm tho "East, and has had no chance to ex- jness his opinion on the question at ifcbue; another ,(alderman' Madden) is opposing the deal and has voted against it in-the council, another (aldoiman ■Gillf-tt) says he will 'vote against the Surther consideration .of the deal, still Piio-her (alderman Hamilton) says ho is opposed to the deal as outlined in the by-law* now heing considei ed by the ' council; that he will .not vote ior any -such by-law, but, instead, favors "the purchase of auxiliary power from ~montiTto mon. lnto^meet-the-city'sTe- ■quirements—a stand, that very few sensible people oppose, Thifr goes to show that lour out of the soven memoers of the city council are against mayor Fletcher's deal The mayor refers to the action oi the an act of the legislature,*, and o bill for that'purpose cannot be in .induced by a privato member. The Tribune ii assured, that as soon as John Houston is elevated to a cabinet position, NeKon will get title tc both the water front and the pprk; but it Is needless to say Mr. Houston will not hold o portfolio in any government if mayor Fletcher and'-his political and^ personal friends can prevent it.}, Views of a large Property-Holder The following communication was written by a inan,w:eli posted on mtin- lcipal affairs, who has large property interests in the town, and who always has stood for what ho believes to be the best interests'''of Nelson. It is well worth reading: , . . ,., To the Editor of The Tribune: In the discussion on the electric'light question there are a'few phases which have not yet been commented upon. , Those who threaten to take the retrogade. steps which vntually will deprive us of a franchise, which has a present value but a much greater prospective value, should pause ' If the by-law' goes' to the people the aldermen .will find they are blindly 'opposing an almost unanimous public. I will venture to assert that if the issue next election is a live one, that nofan alderman supporting the draft by-law will be returned at the polls. - , As a property holder 1 wish'to.enter, my'protest against> the 'proposed by-law. My reasons are many, but space forbids rae to enter*-on an economic discussion I will only say that'if is a retrogade step which is .almost indefensible." Other towns and cities are buying-up plants at greatly increased prices on flrst cost. ,.' s The attitude of the West „ Kootenay Power. & I-ight Company is very different .irom'what it was some time i ago.s.when they in high tempci boycotted Nelson, "and'their manager'on-all* occasions stated the enormous loss suffered by •cur merchants; swaggering through the streets and stores of Rossland he graphically described" how 'he was humbling Nelson's pride; and Nucon survived the shock. ' Combined with the boycott was ridicule cast on our old fashioned equipment; as'to this I am not'able to judge, probably a flrst-class electrician's opinion should have been obtained; . for equipping a city with a modern plant is a very inportant matter and advances in electric science are rapid. But why should a few citizens who for some brief weeks have the civic affairs in hand sacrifice this franchise?, „ , Is it because the W. K. P. & L. Co. know that the construction of our own nlant on the river means that we can provide the latest power to foster our industries, and, m the hundrod and one -ways in which electric power_ls applied be able to use it for mill work, elevators, heating and lighting' The Buffalo exposition gave one an object lesson in the many ways electricity is entering into the homes of the people; power for washing clothes, ironing, cooking, running tbe sewing machine, carpet sweeping, and ways innumerable, is now used and'so simply applied, Is the movement to deprive the city of the position it ha" attained in ownership of remunerative franchises a part of tho unloading which brother-in-law Peters dinged into the ear of our mayor; lor the tramway has a white elephant in its contract for power, whicli it will shaie with the city. If so, let us deal with the tramway company direct and buy part of its power. Wo have reached the time when the people must sav to those holding brief power, "hands off" and "let our public utilities alone." Electricity must be a factor in the building up of Nelson, so let us not hesitate to aim high. Again, tbe first serious attempt we make to establish rights on the river the W. K. P. & Ij Co, who were to smash us, come down and offer debatable terms. Is it not a red herring across the trail? bet us at all cost acquire our rights first and then'we will talk terms; bat abandon our efforts and when we wish to throw off tho power company's grip we will find it is too late. If they wish to deal justly let them retire from their arbitrary and factious opposition to the city acquiring a site to utilize water rights already acquired; but with a club in one hand and a contract and legal suavity in the other they approach the-city's guardians. The merits of the contract itself is open to criticism; it is based upon 16 candle power lamps. What about hundreds of houses wberp 8 c.p. lamps are all that are necessary? In halls, bathrooms, bedrooms, verandahs and small rooms many use 4 c.p. lamps, but the company #ay 16 c.p. or none, those who can on)y afford 8 and 4 cp. lamps will be deprived of phis right which the city has heretofore wisely and jusjly allowed. As you say, "woolen sIoeltfDgs" aj>« upt in it on this deal. Let us burn candles for a few years if necessary, but let us hand down to those who follow this valuable asset unimpaired. Let us hold f^st to what will contribute in time to make our city Queen of tho West Let vb lace tlie building up of a large plant which we can do at half the cost of the company which has spent many dollars in learning how. In the meantime we can supplement our present plant with steam power., I am not'a partisan In the slightest degree, but only claim to be a loyal citizen and substantial taxpayer.

( * - {""-, i ,.• . • ,, ^The Portland Oregonian is admittedto be an able riewspaper. It is probably the ablest newspaper on th© Pacific Coast—barring always the Victoria'tiol- onist. It has never been charged .with- being even -friendly to labor organiza- _tions,i_It_.bas_always_had_the„support of the monied element of the city; in" which it'is printed. But, notwithstanding its veiled hostility-to labor unions and its support from the monied class of Portland, the Oregonian holds that government by injunction is a direct blow at the freedom of the people. The Tribune reprints the view taken by the Oregonian, even when it knows, that by doing so it will gain the displeasure of the Victoria Colonist, and perhaps of the •Victoria Times as well. Not long since a Connecticut judge named Gager granted an injunction on similar grounds as the one recently granted by Mr. justice Irving at Greenwood. In commenting on the question at issue, the Oregonian said: "Under this rule a striker could not "talk with another workman at any " place or time with a purpose to con- " vert him to the strikers' cause, undor "penalty of being puniBhed for cori- " tfempt of court. If this injunction will " hold water as the law of the land, why, " then, the judge can forbid the holding " of public meetings by the strikers and "the delivering of addresses designed "to influence non-union workmen, -and " prohibit the printing of reports of " such meetings in the' newspapers. This " Connecticut injunction is a direct blow " at free speech, the right of public' as- " semblage and the freedom of the press, " since all these things are in danger " of logical extension of the doctrine of " court set forth in judge Gager's injunc- " tion. What labor asks at the hands "of capital is not the beneficence that " is dictated by self-interest, but simple "justice." - British Columbia is to be given recognition at Ottawa. The province ie. to get a seat at Laitrier's official table. If "Tom" Earle and "colonel" Prior can be unseated for practicing unfair practices the last time they were elected, the cabinet position "Will go to senator Templeman, who will resign, the -"enatorshiji a&4 pw-test .Victoria as a miliar for -. -• ■ ii," .. " i one,of the two seats which-that city of less than 22,000 people has in the house pf commons.J If "Tom" arid the' "colonel" can not be ousted by due process in the courts, the portfolio will go, to Ralph Smi,th; M. P.; of Nana'mio. 'Maxwell'and the'Mint", isn't In it., Neither is.Aulay, Morrjson, who hails from the city where' fish makes the man. * Of course, Big'Bill Galliher of'the biggest district in ,Canada couldn't get it, for he is only serving his apprenticeship in" the house, .as between Templeman and Smith there'is, little to choose.' Smith is .the abler speaker, of the .two; .but Templeman, who is a-Canadian by'bi'rtli arid who belieyes in .Canada, can be-'de- •pended on to do iretty near ,the}right thing all the time.' Both "are laboring men, ana it is just possible that thZe senator, who is a practical printer, has worked harder than.the man from Nanaimo, who is a coal miner". Neither are too well acquainted with the'prov- .irice, outside the Island, but, in the opinion of The Tribune, neither would |be sectional as a cabinet minister. The editor of The Tribune and senator Templeman .worked in .the ^ same' printing office in Memphis, Tennessee, in the summer of I860;'the one as a'"devil" -and-the other as-a-journeyman-printer,- and while the'"senator" now lambastes the one-time ."devil" for not agreeing with him in all things political, the onetime "devil" believes that the province would not be disgraced by the elevation of William Templeman, printer, to a seat as a cabinet minister in the Laurier government. Trial jurois are much like women— they will do what they are not wanted to do. But how long would civilized communities, like Vancouver and New Westminster, last were tho women to be deported? So with the freedom of the subject. How long would the uubject be free, wero trial by jury abolished? One judge at Vancouver was much annoyed, according to newspaper .reports, because a trial jury would not obey his instructions and convict a number of white fishermen charged with marooning Japanese fishermen, who were illegally given the privilege to fish,in the , waters of Fraser river. A change of venue was asked for and granted.. The second trial was had at New Westminster before another judge. This judge took two hours in which to tell the jury what he thought they should do. The jury, woman-like, did just the opposite ,of what they were told to do. God bless tho women, for without them men would be brutes. The Lord bless our jury system, for without it men and women would be slaves. Incorporated'under tbe laws of British Columbia.

Chamberlm's, the 'famous''lestauiant, hotel and club-house, ln Washington, D C, is no moie Its doorsi are closed and it has gone out of" business. Chamberlm's has been the meeting tflace of Am- ' ��rican statesmen and the Mecca of bon ���vivants for a generation. ' , The home of former piesidents, ambassadors, cabinet ministers, senators, lepresentatives and other pleading politicians, it is no exaggeration to say that perhaps more truly ".big men have bee'n entertained in this little four-story brick establishment1 at the corner of Fifteenth and I streets than have ueen entertained at any other resort 6f its kind in 'the world n Grant. Arthur ,Cleveland���each in his tuin���have been entertained by John Chamberhn, the-genial host and epicurean, than whom theie never was a caterer more adept. * _ ���' ' . , More than a quarter of a ceptury ago, when Chamberhn was m his prime, he cf.me *to Washington and opened a little eating-house in New York avenue in the old building now occupied by the Y M. C. A By Ins jovial personality, his won- dprtul personal magnetism and, his marvelous art of cookery he soon succeeded ~dn gathering aiound luni some of the brightest men of the day. Poker at one time was a favorite amusement of the guests. Of late years, however, and mere especially after the death of the genial Chamberlin, there ���was less of this sort-bf thing than formerly. Senator George Vest, of Missouri; senator Nelson W Aldnch, of Rhode Island; senator John P. Jones, of Nevada, senator Watson C. Squire, of Washington* , "Matt" Ransom, of -Noith Carolina; "Billy" Crane, of Texas; "Private John" Allen, of Mississipi; "Tim" Campbell, of New -York, Gen. William Mahone, of Virginia; Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, ot the same state; senators Hearst and Sharon, of California; senator Zeb Vance, of North Carolina, Thomas P. Smith, of Kentuckv; representative Benjamin F. Encloe, of Tennessee; Col. John S Wise, of Virginia; Gen. Phil, ogeridan, Roscoe Conkling, "Sunset" Cox, Gen,' William T. Sheiman, "Sam" Randall, Johu W. Mackay, senator John Mitchell, of Oie- gon; senator Beck, of "Kentucky; Col. John R. Follows, of New York; John S Bunells, AVilliam B. Petit, James G. Blaine,1 Walter Q. Gresharii, Adlai Stevenson���these are a few of the most noted ones who used - to gather around thb green cloth now and then for an evening's amusement, with the stakes just high enough to make it interesting.' A certain senator of tho United Rtates, ���\vho is still in the harness and quite ac- uveiin administration affairs, played the last ".poker game in his career a few yeais ago in Chamberlin's Not that this gentleman is incapacitated because of the lack of funds,' for he is a millionave many^ times over, but because of a more Important reason���a reason which meaht life or death to him in the social and business world. The stakes on this occasion were unusually high; and as the evening passed the senator's companions noticed with envy that his pile of chips ���was rapidly increasing. He won nearly every "jackpot" and called every hand. Finally one of the party, who was a heavy loser and not in a happy frame ot mmd, turned to the senator, who had just won the pot, and said "Senator, let us see your., hand please?" and before the senator had an opportunity to replv the questioner took the pafatebt.ards"tiom*his hand abruptly, and, unfolding them on the green cloth beforo the eyes of all, counted six cards. A serious quarrel was narrowly averted. The senator ai tempted to explain, but explanations were not then in order, and aftor making him leturn his ill-gotten gams the others fenced a promise fiom him that he would never again play poker, in America or elsewhere, under pain of exposure. Perhaps the best story teller that ever, freq dented Chamberlin's Allen had* a fundi of stories which he gathered from all parts of the country, and ho used to delight in sitting with a party of friends and spinning yarns. Senator Vest,-of Missouri,..was'another good stoiy teller; so was the venerable John P. Johns", of'Nevada.'' And Chamberlin himself knewa thing or two about the art of story telling.- ,Hei and Gen.���'William' Mahone used��-to 'V "��� * Not long befoie his death'Chamberlin -.as sitting with a party .of friends, including senator Vest, of Missoilri;r John S." 'Wise, of Virginia; senator Stewart, senator Mitchell/of Oregon, and'oDe or two others, when Wise asked* . /'John, who are tho best cooks?",' . "Negroes," was the (.response. "The so-called Fi ench cooks- -l say *so 'called' because more than' half'"of them are Germans ��� cannot cook" our American dishes ''One-half of them.never saw a" 'range until they came to this country They spend 'two bits' for a French cook book and in less than a year, they-.have their .employers in fear and trembling. They "cover e\erythmg with sauces^fo you cannot tell what you are eatmg% - This is not true cooking���it"is*- thei concealment of the true food flavor.,' But the daikey-whb has the right sort of ti aining takes to cooking as a duck takes to water.- Only a darkey can cook poppobotte. Only a darkey can prepare terrapin. Only a daikoy can give you devilled crabs���you never saw a devilled ciab in New York, although they have what is so tei med on_their menu cards*. Only a darkey can cook fish. In fact only a darkey can do justice to that great list of American birds most prom-, inent in the dreams of the government." Chamberlin used to say that "Roscoe Conkling was the greatest gourmet of his time and that Chc.oi.er Arthur came next in line. Both v/anted delicacies properly cooked and served every time they sat down to the table. Some one asked "John" once how he managed to keep so healthy. He replied, with a, twinkle, "Take dandelion pills after a hearty dinner; that's all I do." Chamberlin could cook oysters as no other man could. This was his way of doing it: Into a chafing dish this modern Savarin would placo three large pat3 of butter. _. These he would cover with a red Hungarian pepuer, very pungent, but not at all biting. As the butter melted he added the juice of the oyster. As this began to simmer, a small saucer- ful of raw celery, chopped very fine, was added. The oysters were poured in, and then, after they had beenastirred for' about three or four minutes while they cooked, a small pitcher of cream and one wineglass of sherry were added. When served this palatable stew presented a-delicate pink color, the oysters wore remarkably tender, and there,were suggestions of terrapin, lobster a la Ncwburg���a dozen delicacies in the flavor. ,/ , Although once possessed of a fortun-f, Chamberlin was a poor man when he died. He spent most of -his monej^ in trymg to be a good fellow. His currency was as free as the airland his friends could have it all. Some^ of the most, noted men in the country are on Chamberlin's debt books for amounts ranging' fiom $2 to $30,000 H'e made monoy out of his hotel, but money tb Chamberhrt' had no real intrinsic value. A states-. man out of a job, a broken-down sport��� In fact, any old "has been"���if he knew ' "John," could have any part of anything he had. And because of his open heart- edness he died a poor man.

Jonas Coxhead asked permission to speak a second time on the point made by some cf those who were opposed to public ownership on the ground that tho city could not afford to make tho expenditure necessary. He would like to know why the city of Nelson could not afford to make any expenditure which promised to yield good returns. He i.e- marked that he had come from the city of Toronto, where he had a seven-room house upon which he paid taxes amounting to ?103. He had two seven-room houses on Victoria street in Nelson, for the two "of which' he paid taxes amounting to ?8 and a few odd cents Here was the remedy. He would not object to paying another dollar or two if necessary to preserve municipal ownership and efficiency. He did not, think it wise to cry 'poverty and beggary nil the time; there was no necessity, for it. William Ebbs said he considered'the discussion of the question-hy members as rather idle, since they were all agreed as to the advantage of municipal or government ownership of public utilities The thought which impressed ^iim most was the contemplation of Nelson's possibilities if the power- of Bonnington Falls was owned b.v the city. < Miss Merrill- was ,the next speaker.' She said she desire'd to* pretest against the opinion wliich appeared to exist in some quarters that it was wise to accept what was called the > "next best thing." It was this mistake that ruined everything. The world *��� had'been1 contented with the next' best thing long enough. The troulie was��ln such a policy that when the best _, thing came along those who had' accepted the next best thing were so flelled' up-. *with next best that were so filled up with .next best that ing the next'best meant taking the hest thing that came1 along. It was a foolish policy for the( reason, that those who accepted the next'best thing we��*e never satisfied, and by:accepting,the next best .put it out of their^i-each. to accept the .best. "With respect to the city's lighting service of which" J-so much', had * tieen heard of late, the speak .rf said she had 'lived in' a larger, citylthan, Nelson in which the electrlc.Oighting was supplied .by two private electric light companies and the service "Wasvyery.^much worse Jthan that,,of-Nelson."'In blaming, the municipality Nfor..the 'poor: light she .thought it was.jumping at--conclusion. Since Nelson .had the facilities foi securing .a good light at hand--'why 'not obtain it a X"rom thei discussion that/had taken place Ion the subject, she said the conclusion she had arrived at was .that the city needed a socialistic council. Municipal'ownership was little better than.private 'C-wn'ership .unless it was administered by men who believed in the" principle. If ithe; ratepayeis wouldrput men into the council who ��e- klleved in municipal ownership as'they believed in their religion there'would he 'success ,in .the application of the principle. < *V 1 , ��� -\ Secretary Broadley, who had * moved the resolution, then spoke in supaort of it. He said -when- the' meeting had been called it was not the pui pose to settfe tthe question for the city. It was merely for the purpose .of bringing about, a discussion on the subject. He then asked .his hearers if they remembered a short time ago > when the. West Kootenay; Power & Light rCompany made an offer for, the purchase of the city planti it would be remembered that it was turned down by every member of the.present council and by the mayor as.,well. The purchase offer was turned down because the mayor and members of the city -council- said-they-were-making-moncy- out of the operation of the electric light plant and that tho profits accruing from the plant would pay the running expenses of the city. At this timo it was stated that under no condition would the plant be sold. A few weeks later and the people of the city are told hy the same council that the electric light plant is losing money. This was a very great change of opinion for a few weeks, The city according to the latost^ver- sion, has a plant that; Is losing money, whereas a few'weeks ago it was making money so fast that the fame members of the city council would not entertain any proposition to sell, So far as the lighting system went the speaker said that whilo it was not all that could be desired It was a better service than Winnipeg had. It was a better service than many cities had. He agreed that there was cause for con* plaint in that the streets were not Kufficleutly lighted, but in the question under discussion there was a great principle at stake. At the present time Nelson was in-a formative state. One' great step which it had made in the advance movement was that it owned the electric light plant, and he did, not believe in any form of surrender.' At i o matter what c'ost the city should retain its electric lighting plant under municipal management. It was true that the city might get better light by an arrangement with the West Kootenay Power company, but.the city could also get better iignt by making the necessary expenditures He was In favor of payirg the city for better light rather than raying oyer to a private corporation, Some discussion followed as to whether those who were present but not members of the club could vote for the resolution in view of the manner in which it had been drawn. It was finally decided to lay the motion on the taDle in preference to amending it in any way, and then for the purpose of taking the sense ot the meeting A. Lackey moved that the meeting record its disapproval of arsy connection witli the Bonnington Falls company by the city in its lighting bu_iness, and that the city retain its lighting plant intact. v D. J. McNalley offered an amendment I to this to the effect that 'the meeting ' should ii.dorse the proposed arrangement with the Bonnington Falls company. There was i_o seconder and in could see the sense of the meeting J). J. Moyer consented to second it. When the amendment was put McNalley was the only one who voted for it. The Lackey motion was then put and carried on the division. The original motion as submitted for the vote of the members of the club was then put and carried unanimously. CITY AND DISTRICT.
