Dixon shot\nI policeman Charles Collis yesterday\nI while they were both ln the former's\n{room In an hotel. Collis died today and\n\u25a0scores of people became aroused over\n|the tragedy.\nEarly this evening a mob of 500 per-\nlaons gathered at the county jail with the\n\u25a0avowed   intention of lynching   Dixon.\n\u25a0Sheriff Routseahn appeared on the jail\n\u25a0steps and mado an Ineffectual attempt\njto disperse the crowd.  By 9 o'clock the\nKnob had increased to 800 men and the\n|tall yard was completely filled.   The\nlelctric light wire leading to the sheriff's\n\"residence and the jail waB cut and both\n[places were in darkness.  The mob had\ni three inch gasplpe and battered In tho\nJsast jail door, but at the same time did\n\u25a0not effect an entrance.   At 10.30, how-\nf)ver, everything had become quiet, although groupa of men could be seen near\n[the court house and buildings adjacent\nto the jail.  The police became satisfied\n\u25a0that tbere was nothing more to fear\nfind they, with other officials and newspaper men, passed ln and out ot tho jail.\nShortly before 11 o'clock a diversion\n\u25a0was made by a small crowd moving from\n\u25a0the east doors around to tho south entrance.   The pllce followed and a bluff\nwas made at jostling them off the steps\n{loading up to the south entrance.   The\n\u25a0crowd at this point kept growing, while\n\u25a0 yells of \"Hold the police,\" \"Smash the\n\u25a0doors,\" \"Lynch the nigger\" were made,\n(interrupted with revolver shots.\nAll this time the party with a heavy\nIrailway Iron waa beating at the east\nIdoor, which shortly yielded to the bat-\ntiering, as did the lattice Iron doors. The\n\u25a0 mob then surged through the eaat door,\n(overpowered the sheriff, turnkey and a\nfhandful of deputies and began tho us-\nI'sault on the Iron turnstile leading to the\n1 cells. The police from the south door\nrwere called inside, and in five minutes\nI this door had Bhareil the fate of the cast\nInc. In a short time tho jail was filled\nf by a mad mob of 260 men with all th'\n(gates blocked by fully 1,000 men. See-\n(ing that further resistance was useless\nJ and to avoid the killing of innocent prls-\n[ oners, the authorities consented to the\nj demand of tho mob for the right man\nDixon waa dragged from his cell to the\njail yard.   Fearing an attempt on the\nI part of the police to rescue him, the\nleaders formed a hollow square.   Somr\nI one knocked the negro to the ground and\nthose near to him fell hack fur or five\nfeet. Nine shots were fired into his prostrate body and, satisfied that ho war\ndead, a dozen men grabbed tho lifeless\nbody and with a triumphant cheer the\nmob surged into Columbia Btreet and\nmarched to Fountain avenue, one of the\nprincipal thoroughfares of the town.\nand then to the intersection of Malt-\nstreet, where a rope was tied around the\nnegro's neck. Two men climbed a telegraph pole and tied the body about If\nfeet above the street. Their work was\ngreeted with a cheer. A fusllade begun\nand for 30 minutes the body was kepi\nBwaylng back and forth from tho force\nof the rain of bullets poured into It.\nFrecuently >the arms would fly up convulsively when a muscle was struck, and\nthen the mob went fairly wild with dc-\nllaht. Throughout It all perfect order\nwas maintained and everyone seemed in\nthe best of humor, joking with his nearest neighbor while reloading his re-\nvolver\nOil's had served 12 years on the fore\nand waB rega ded -s one of the most re 1-\nable and efficient men ln the police department.\t\nONTARIO WEATHER REPORT.\nFebruary\nWas Emphatically Cold-\nSnowfall Heavy.\nToronto, March 7-Ontario's weather\nreport for February has lust been issued.\nDiscussing the snowfall, it sayB, that on\nthe higher lands of Ontario, east of lake\nHuron the depth ranges from 30 to WJ\nInches, In Muskoka and the Ottawa valley the depth Is 30 to 40 inches and in\nsouthern Ontario only five to 15 inches.\nFebruary's average temperature ln Ontario has been exceeded by only three\nmonths, January, 1835, January 1875,\nand February 1885.\nAN EMPEROR'S CONDOLENCES.\nHanover, Prussia, March 7\u2014Emperor\nWilliam's telegram of condolence to\ncountess von Waldersee on the death ot\nher husband was as follows: \"Royal\nSchloss, Berlin, March 17.\u2014In heartfelt\nsympathy I and the empress feci for\nyou In your bitter loss, for we know\nwhat you have possessed, and havo now\nlost In him who has gone to God.

Only trifling dnmngo wns inflicted according to this rumor, but ono or two Japanese cruisers were sunk.\nAlthough there is notiiing to show that tliore was not another bombardment of Vladivostock on Monday, this report is most likely an exaggerated version of Sunday's bombardment. There is considerable\ncuriosity hero concerning the resisting power of Vladivostock, which haa long been regarded as the Gibraltar of tho fnr east.\nVladivostock is known to be better equipped as a naval base and to havo greater docking and repairing\nresources than Port Arthur, but doubts are expressed as to tho character of its defenses. Russia has been\nsettled there for forty years,and it is consequently considered likely that the defenses and guns at this place\narc of a soinowhat obsolete* character. It is understood that during the past few years all tho available new\nguns and war material which it was possible to send over the single line of railroad have been used for tho\nstrengthening of Port Arthur and points in Manchuria, leaving Vladivostock with old type of guns of short\nrange   It is reportod that Vladivostock is ill supplied with provisions and necessaries.\nA Tokio correspondent of the Times says a Japaneso squadron took possession of Hai Wang Tao, one of\nthe Elliot group of islands on February 29th. They found only stores of coal and signalling flags there, tho\nBtissians having evacuated the island on February 23rld.\nThe Russians continue to push southward along the coast from Possiet bay towards Song Chin, the correspondent continues, and the Vladivostock squadron apparently is covering their communication with Vladivostock.\nDespatches from Tokio speak of the sacrifices beiijg made by the Japaneso nation. According to the\nDaily Chronicle's correspondent at Tokio, the mikado ik abandoning all luxuries, the court is following his\nexample. Tho Kobe correspondent of the Daily Express says the crown prince of Japan and princo Arisu-\ngava nre going to tho scat of war.\nOther despatches say that public and privato concerns aro all curtailing their expenses in order to aid\nthe government.\nAccording to the Che Foo correspondent of the Morning Post, it is expected that the Japanese will reach\ntlio left bank of the lower Ynlu river nbout March 10th. A large force ofRussians is strongly entrenched\non the hills in the Antung district adjacent and parallel to the river.   Their position is similar to that which\n\u2022 the Doers held on tho Tugela river.\nIt is believed at the Japanese legation that the Japaneso aro between Russian cruisers and Vladivostock\nand there is reason to believe that the Russian squadron is iii tho vicinity of Possiet bay. Russian official\ndespatches do not mention this squadron and this fact lends color to tho belief that tho Japaneso warships\nhavo shut it out of Vladivostock. It is pointed ont nt the legationthat if this is true, the Russian vessels\nare in a critical condition.\nVLADIVOSTOCK, March 7.\u2014Last night passed quietly. The inhabitants and troops aro in unusual\nhigh spirits. A strict search is being made through tho town for Japanese. The police have posted placards on the walls offering rewards for information as to tho whereabouts of Japanese and threatening trial\nby court martial of any person found guilty of concealing thorn.\nThis place was attacked by a Japanese fleet of live battleships and two cruisers today. Tho firing was\nall done at the long range of about five miles and a half, and but littlo damage was done. Many of tho\nJapanese shells failed to explode. The Russian forces did not return tho fire. The attack was apparently\nfor tho purpose of ascertaining llie location of the forts and also if the Russian fleet was in tho harbor.\nYIN KOW, March 7.\u2014An official despatch received hero says tho Japanese aro again bombarding\nVladivostock.  This news lacks confirmation from other sources.\nLONDON, March 7.\u2014A despatch to tho Central Nows from St. Petersburg says telegrams received\nfrom Vladivostock say that sevon Japanese ships approached that port at 10 o'clock this morning, entered\nOssuri bay at about noon and after some manoeuvring stcamod out seaward.\nST. PETERSBURG, March 7.\u2014Viceroy Alexieff has telegraphed tho czar from Mukden under today's\ndate ns follows: \"Supplementing my telegram of March 6th, I most humbly report that at 1:25 p. m., five\nout of seven of the enemy's ships opened fire on forts Suvaroff and Lincvitch, on tho town, on tho roadstead,\nand nlong the valley of the river Obyassnoniyo. The firing lasted until 2:15 p. m., at which hour the Japanese squadron began to steam to tho southward, disappearing out of sight at 5:30 p. m. Thero were no\nlosses on tho batteries or the fortifications. In tho town one seaman was wounded and ono woman was\nlulled. According to information just received the enemy's squadron agoin appeared in sight of the fortress\nat fi o'clock this morning.\"\nA later message from the viceroy says: Tho commandant at Vladivostock reports that yesterday's bombardment resulted in no serious damage to the port. The fortress did not return the enemy's fire. Today,\nat midday, the enemy again entered Ussuri bay and approached the point from which they bombarded the\nharbor yesterday. They left again making for the open sea.\nST. PETERSBURG, March 7.\u2014Tho Associated Press learns that the Russian authorities have been\napproached indirectly by American shipping firms desiring authority to fit out as privateers to prey on Jap-\n\u2022 ancse commerce, but that they met with no encouragement.

It Is stated\ntho applicant represents that, the plaster,\nwhich lt Is the Intention to manufacture from tho gypsum dlscovcre don the\nlands, Is not produced within the limits\nof the province; that the market is supplied chiefly by importations from the\nUnited States; that with a littlo encouragement there is a fair prospect of\nestablishing in Manitoba a new and Important industry; that the locality Is so\nrough as to be almost Inaccessible; that\nit will be necessary to construct twenty-\nfive miles of tramway to carry the product to lake Winnlptg, where It can be\ntaken to market by boat; tbat this will\nnecessitate a largo outlay, which cannot be undertaken unless a sufficient\narea of land can be acquired, and that\nthese deposits cannot be successfully\nworked with less thaa a capital of hall\na million dollars.\nThe minister  recommends, upon Mr.\nWorn thin ?\nNo!

For\ntho same reason that nothing has been\ndone with tho Manitoba deposits those\nIn tho valley of the north Thompson\nriver have never been developed. Now\nthat an attempt Is to be made to turn\nto commercial uses the gypsum deposits of Manitoba lt is to be hoped\nthat attention will be given to the British Columbia deposits.\nKamloops hoard of trade, always alive\nto the best Interests of the district It\nrepresents, should at onco take this\nmatter up with Mr. Hugh Sutherland\nand his associates.\nTHE LEAD INDUSTRY.\nA great deal of interest Is manifested\nIn the meeting to bo hold hero tomorrow by tho sliver-lend miners.\nThe opinion prevails that tho mino\noperators should tako tho public Into\ntheir confidence and state plainly just\nwhat tho situation is regarding the industry.\nAt tho tlmo of tho agitation for the\nlead bounty the public was Invited to\nco-operate with the mlno owners in\nurging upon tho dominion government\ntho Importance of assisting the lead\nindustry.

It was secured solely with a\nview to fostering tho lead mining industry as a wholo and to promote and\nencourago the smelting of Canadian\nlead ores in Canada.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nTho flvo hundred dollar head tax on\nChinese coming into this province is\nproving as effective as was anticipated\nby the commissioners who recommended that method of restricting the\nInflux of Mongolians Into Canada. In\nthe month of January not a single\nChinaman entered the country. Last\nmonth only one paid the head tax. British Columbia seems to get along well\nenough without nny Increase ln its Chinese population despite the mournful\npredictions of sir Mackenzie Bowell\nand other leaders ot the great conservative party, who intimated that the\nliberal government would be inflicting\na grave injury upon the country by barring out Chinese cheap labor.\nWord comes from London of the\ndeath of sir Joseph Trutch, the first\nlieutenant-governor of British Columbia Sir Joseph William Trutch was\nborn at Ashcroft, England, ln 1826. He\nwas educated at Exeter, Devonshire,\nnnd was articled as a pupil to sir John\nRcnnle, C.E. In 1855 he married Julia\nElizabeth, daughter of Louis Hyde, ot\nNew York. In 1849 he came to the\nPaclflc coast, and until 1866 practised\nhis profession as a civil engineer in\nCalifornia and Oregon. He was subsequently assistant engineer on the Illinois and Michigan canal and on the\nIllinois river Improvement works. In\n1859 he came to British Columbia and\nsettled ln Victoria. From that time\nuntil 1864 he was engaged In tho construction of public works, and among\nother well known works which he completed was the trunk road from Yale to\nCariboo, including tho Alexandria suspension bridge over tho Fraser river,\nbuilt by him on termB of toll charter.\nHe was chief commissioner of lands\nand workB, and subsequently surveyor-\ngeneral of British Columbia and a\nmember ex-offlclo of the executive and\nlegislative councils of the province\nuntil the union of the colony with Canada ln 1871, He was one of the delegates to Ottawa ln 1870 to arrange the\nterms on which British Columbia should\nenter confederation, and In the following year he went to London to sottle\nfinally tho details of union. When this\nwas consummated ho was appointed\nflrst lieutenant-governor, on July 1st,\n1876. For the distinguished services\nrendered by him he was knighted in\n1887. Tbe late sir Joseph Trutch was\nwell known In Nelson.   Ho was chair\nman of the original Hall Mines company, and spent some time ln this elty\nsuperintending the erection of the\nsmelter.\nWILL VISIT THE GROUP\nOFFICERS OF HANDY CO. EN ROUTE\nFOR THE PROPERTY,\nINTENTION IS TO INSTALL A HOIST,\nPUMP, ETC.\nCol. W. N. Brayton and John Mackenzie, of Spokane, and A. J. Curie,* of\nKaslo, officers of the Handy Gold Mining & Development Co., are at the Hume\nen route for Poplar creek, near which\nthe property of the company Is located.\nThey Intend to Install machinery on the\nproperty and to push the development\nwork more rapidly than hitherto. In\nspeaking about th\u00a9 Handy group colonel Brayton said: \"We have had a\nforce of men working on tho property\nsince January 1st. There aro now some\nseven carloads of ore on tbo dump ready\nto ship to the smelter. The lead has\nbeen proven to be continuous by shafts,\nopen cuts, etc., for a distance of 745 feet.\nIt can bo traced on tbe surface for a\ndistance of 3,000 feet. It is one of the\nlongest continuous ledges ln that section,\nThe ledge Is 12 feet wide with a paystreak in the centre 2 1-2 feet wide. The\nledge carries gold and silver. Dr. Hacking, of Granite Falls, a director of the\ncompany, sampled tho paystreak and the\nassays revealed that it went $214 to the\nton. James Geary, vice-president, also\nsampled the ledge, and the result from\nthe assay which he had made of the\nsamplings was $169.63. If It averages\nfrom $30 to $50 to the ton, I will bo more\nthan satisfied.\n\"Wo go to the mine,\" he said, \"for tho\npurpose of installing a hoist, a pumping plant and whatever machinery may\nbe necessary for advantageous operation.\n\"The group is located light on the\nrailway track, on Lynch creek, only a\nshort distance from the town of Poplar\nOur ore bins are situated only 30 feet\nfrom the tracks of the C.P.R. branch\nthat runs through tho valley of the Lardeau.\n\"Will we Instal a stamp mill? No.\nnot for the presont nt least Wo will\nsend such ore as wo take out In tho\ncourse of development to tho smelter.\nFurther on, when wo havo tho property\nwell opened and large reserves of ore In\nsight, the question of Installing a plant\nfor Its reduction will be taken under\nconsideration. We have ample water\npower on the property to operate any\nplant that It may be found necessary to\nInstal. It is our desire, however, to\nflrst show what the property Is capable\nof producing, and then It will be time\nenough to talk about the Installing ot\na plant for the reduction of the oro. 1\nhave not seen the property for some\ntime, hut when'l return from visltlns\nIt I can tell you more about It.\"\nCOURT OF. REVISION.\nGreat Northern Appeals from Assessor\nRenwlck's Valuation of\nWild Lands.\nOn Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock\nln the court house, W. A, Jowett will\nhold a court of revision on provincial\nassessments for the Nelson district.\nSome fifty or sixty appeals from tho\nassessments made by R. A. Renwlck,\nthe provincial assessor, will come up\nfor hearing, but the main appeals come\ndirectly or Indirectly from the Nelson\n& Fort Sheppard and the Kaslo & Slocan railways, practically the Great\nNorthern railway. Tho balance of tho\nappeals are unimportant, but tho railway cases Involve large amounts. A.\nH. MacNeill, K. C, of Rossland, will\nappear for the appellants, and John\nElliot will represent the government.\nThe Nelson ft Fort Sheppard railway\nappeals aro made on several grounds:\nThat they do not own some of the lands\nassessed; that the lands are not assessable, either when owned by the railway\nor when disposed of to rrtvate Individuals, under the Subsidy act, ar.d that\nthe rate charged is too high under any\ncircumstances. Tho lands owned by the\nN. & F. S. are all wild lands. In some\ncases heavily timbered, and some ior-\ntlons have practically never been inspected, and lt Is difficult to say what\nthey contain. In round numbers the\nrailway still holds a block of some 500,-\n000 acres In this district, after allowing for portions sold to private parties\nand these have been valued by assessor\nRenwlck at $1 per acre. The tax fixea\nby tho provincial government Is now\n5 per cent of the valuation; it was formerly 3 per cent, It Is understood that\nthe appellants will claim on Wednss-\nday that the lands are only worth 10\ncents an aero, and thnt portions have no\ncommercial value\u2014for taxation purposea\nThe N. ft F. S. railway lands are all\nIn one block In the Nelson district, but\nthe K. ft S. lands, granted under the net\nsubsidizing that road, are scattered all\ntho way up Kootenay lake, choice spots\nonly being selected, and the assessor\nhas rated these lands at $2 nn acre all\nround. The K. ft fl.\"lands amount to\nsomething less than 20,000 acres ln all.\nThere Is no doubt but that tho railways will make a vigorous attempt tomorrow either to dispose of the assessments altogether or to have the rates\nfixed by the assessor materially lowered.\nThere Is an appeal from commissioner\nJowett's decision to the supreme court\nof British Columbia.\n\"Shaun Aroon\" at the opera house on\nSt. Patrick's day evening, March 17th,\nwith Prof. Hepburn- In tho titlo role.\nThe curtain will rise promptly at 8:30\nand everyone Is requested to be seated,\nas no one can bo seated during tbe flrst\nact.

Fernau, consulting mining engineer\nK Newcastle-on-Tyne, and Oscar Le-\nEbvre, representing Henri Samuel,\nlinker, of Brussels, have returned from\nJ visit along the line of the Crow's Nest\nIfllway. They stopped at several points\nAid went as far east as Frank, Allmita,\nIs a result of their visit th?y havo defi-\nlltely decided to locate tho zinc sn.elter\ntt either Fernle or Frank. It will re-\nlulre a trip to the east to confer with\nlie coal companies there before the site\nSill ho finally determined on. So 'ar\nIs the erection of a lead smelter Is contented, the idea of erecting it for the\nIresent has been abandoned, as they\nfound lt Impossible to secure contracts\nlor a stable, quantity of sliver lea'\", oro\nlo keep the proposed smelter In opera-\nlion.\nf In speaking about the trip over tho\nfcrow'8 Nest line and its results, Mr. Fer-\nIiau said: \"We have just returned from\nli week's trip over the Crow's NeBt\nline, during which wo visited Frank,\n\u25a0Pernio and other points. Our object\nEvas to find, if possible, suitable sites\n\u25a0for the location of a lead smelter and a\nliinc smelter. We were much struck\n\u2022with the enormous quantity of coal to\n\u25a0be found ln the measures ot the Crow's\n\u25a0Nest pass, and tho really good quality\n\u25a0of the fuel produced, when compared\n\u25a0 with the UBUal American product. We\n\u25a0fully rocognizo the fact that lt will\nlalways be an available and cheap source\nI of fuel for the reduction works of the\nI Kootenays. We have decided to erect\nIthe zinc smelter at either   Fernle or\n\u25a0 Frank. We can only decide on which\nI one of these two points it will be aftor\nI our return from a visit to Montreal. We\nI will require from 30 to BO acres for the\n| enterprise. The initial cost ot the en-\n| terprise will be $150,000, and lt will em-\nI ploy from 60 to 75 persons, with prospects of that number being Increased\nj to four or Ave times as many by the end\nI of three years.   Our idea in locating the\nI zinc smelter where cheap fuel can he\nhad direct, from the mines is that lt is\ncheaper trj haul the zinc ore and the\nI zinc concentrates to the fuel than It\nwould be to haul the fuel to whero the\nzinc is produced. .    -;\n, \"As tor the zinc onrichlng plant, it is\n. to be located at Rosebery, on Slocan\nlako. Work on this plant will be commenced just as soon as the snow\nleaves the ground. The plans and specifications aro all ready, and this will\nbe the first of our plans to take material shape, although the zinc smelter\nplant will be constructed Just as Boon\naB we can arrange about the site.\n\"We failed to obtain tho necessary\ncontracts for lead ores to keep the proposed lead smelter supplied with ore,\nand at present we aro not considering\nthe schomo. It might, however, be\ntaken up later if the conditions justified it\"\nMessrs. Fernau and Lefebvre leave\ntoday for Three Forks, and after a few\ndays there will return to Nelson. From\nhere they will make a tour of the\nBoundary country and then the start\nfor tho return to Europe will bo made.\nTERMS USED IN SOCIALISM.\nA Member of the Society Olves Some\nApt Definitions.\nThe socialist meeting Sunday afternoon was entirely devoid of sensational\nfeatureB, but was replete' with socialist\nphilosophy.\nGeo. Zlnnor made the address, speaking on \"Terms used In socialism.\" The\nlist of terms defined was quite comprehensive, among other things defined\nbeing the following:\n1\u2014Socialism\u2014The Intelligent struggle\nof the proletarians for existence.\n2\u2014Society, divided by socialism Into\n(a) the capitalist class, who own the\nland and tools of production and distribution;   (b.)  the paupers, who, by\nold age, physical debility, etc., depend\nupon public or private charity; (c.)\nthe retainers, who minister to tbo capitalist class as servants, etc; (d.) tho\nproletariat, who possess tho ability to\nlabor and havo no other means of subsistence except the salo of labor power.\n3\u2014Evolution, as exemplified by Industry, Is the continued progress toward perfection which has an example\nof its consummation in the trust, which\nowns (1) tho sources of raw material;\n(2) the maohinery of production; (3)\nthe means of distribution.\n4 \u2014 The materialistic Interpretation\nof history shows that economic causes\naccount for all great advance In society, all errors nnd all changes In the\nsocial relations of men. The only general exception is found in the religious\nerrors which were founded on idealism.\nIn concluding, the speaker urged upon\nthe workers to unite, present a solid\nfront, win at the ballot box and enforce\nthe verdict of the polls.     .\nIt was announced that Mr. Lackey\nwould address the meeting next Sunday\nafternoon, as it would bo hlsjast Sunday ln Nelson for some time.\nFORGERY AND THEFT.\nCases Bofore Judge Forln Yesterday.\u2014\nDuroche Pleads Guilty to Forgery\nThree criminal cascB woro disposed\nof by his honor judge Forln yesterday\nmorning. On Saturday night provincial constable R. A. Upper, of Rovel-\nBtoko, arrived here with three prisoners, Fred. Nelson, Alexander Duff and\nF. Duroche, all of Reevlstoke, and they\nwore the caseB disposed of. <\nFred. Nelson, a Swede, was charged\nwith attempting to commit suicide at\nRevelstoke on the 23rd of January last.\nHe elected for a speedy trial and pleaded guilty. The prisoner appeared to feel\nhis position very keenly and to have\nmade up his mind not to repeat his foolish act, so his honor suspended sentence\nand allowed Nelson to go free, conditionally upon continued good behavior.\nAlexander Duff was charged with\nhousebreaking at Revelstoke on the\nnight of March 3rd. He elected for\nspeedy trial and pleaded not guilty.\nHIb trial was fixed before judgo Forin\nat Revelstoke on April 6th.\nThe most serious case was that of\nF. Duroche, a young looking man.\nsaid to be well connected in eastern\nOntario. Duroche was charzed with*\nhaving forged two orders ln January\nlast for $17.50 and $20 respectively. J.\nAtchison's name was forged to both\ndocuments. A third caso appearing in\nthe papers filed was not pressed. Duroche had been employed in tho Harbor Lumber Co.'s works and Atchipon\nwas another employee. The prisoner\nelected for a speedy trial and pleaded\nTOllty. He will be sentenced by judge\nForln at Revelstoke on April 6th.\nConstable Upper left for Revelstoke\nlast night with Duroche and Duff in\ncharge.\nTHE  LIFE  OF TRADE.\nbo. Well, I can arrange matters tor you\nif you will come along to the manse,'\nand ln he jumped, giving me orders to\ndrive in a hurry, and I think he saw\nthe other fellow climbing up the steps,\n\"I took my time In getting on the box,\nand when the Methodist man did arrive\nI told him he had just missed it, and that\nI had done the beat I could for him. He\nlooked at his reverend brother In the\nhack and did not seem to like the situation, but the chap Inside was all\nsmiles and just wanted me to hurry, so\nI drove oft and thought I'd make an\n\u25a0extra fee any way. Well, we got to tho\nmanse and the couple and the minister\nwent in, but in a minute the couple\ncame out and the man said: 'I want a\nstraight Methodist; this Is tho wrong\nplace; take me back to where we started: I can't do business here.'\n\"The minister, book 1 nhand, came to\nthe door and seemed a little bothered;\nhe assured my fare that he was duly authorized to put him lawfully In double\nharness, but my faro would not hear\nof lt. and back we drovo to the Methodist church, whero I'm blessed If we\ndidn't find tho parson standing on tho\nsteps waiting for us.\n\" 'I thought you wanted me,' was all\nbe said, when wo arrived, and both my\nfares went right in and got the trouble\nover. Yes, from what tho bridegroom\npaid mc I fancy the clergyman did a\ngood stroke of business too, but I never\nknew before that the competition was\nso keen In church lines. I guess it's so\nin all business nowadays.\"\nNORTH STAR SHIPMENTS.\nMine Is Outputtlng 100 Tons ot Ore\nPer Week.\nJ. L. Parker, manager of the North\nStar mine, In east Kootenay, Is at the\nHume. Mr. Parker reports that tho\nNorth Star Is mining and shipping at\ntao rate of 100 tone of ore a week. A\ncontract for 1,500 tons of North Star\noro has just been finished with the Hall\nMines smelter, and ho has just signed\na contract for 600 tons of oro with the\nTrail smelter. Mr. Parker stated that\nwhen ho was in Cranbrook a few days\nsince It was stated that the Sullivan\nmine , owned by senator Turner and\nothers in Spokane, Is to resume operations. Superintendent James Findley,\nof the Sullivan, was In Cranbrook while\nMr. Parker was there, engaging mlnera\nto go to work.\nIn speaking about the results that\nwould grow out of the granting of licenses for timber, coal and oil In lots\n4593 and 4594, east Kootenay, he said\nit would cause quite a rush Into that\nsection. If petroleum in commercial\nquantities was found it would cause the\nestablishment there of a permanent oil\nproducing industry, which would rapidly build up that portion of east Koot-\nonay. Tho exploitation of the coai\nmeasures would also be of help to the\nsection, as would also the utilization\nof the excellent timber resources contained ln these two lots of land.\nIt was Mr. Parker's Impression that\nthe government should move in the\nmatter of granting the licenses as soon\nMother's Bread\n(TRADE  MARK  RESISTBRED)\nSomething good ior old and young,\nrich and poor.\nHAVE YOU TRIED IT?\nIf not ling up 2-5-8.\nMade only by\nThe Palace Bakery\nCompetition in the Church as well as\nEverywhere Else.\n\"Oh, yes. I know,\" said a philosophic\nhack driver last nipht, \"competition is\nthe life of trado generally. It's supposed to be so in our lino of business\nI believe, but I thought there were\nlimits, and thai, there were some line\"\nof what you might in a way call business, that competition did not enter,\nbut I am blessed if competition does\nnot enter into everything these days.\nA fare, or rather two fares, hailed mo\ntonight, and after entering my hack said\nthey'd like to go to a Methodist clerey-\nman's house just as quickly as I could\nget there. I saw what was the matter,\nof courso, and I got the smiling couple\nup to the Methodist clergyman's house\nwithout losing any time, but tho parson\nwas out, and no ono knew just where\nho was, so we drifted down to the Methodist church at the corner nnd prayed\nfor the parson's coming. 1 saw the\nr'al article comlnir up the Pt-ept In the\ndl\">tanco. but before he reached us an-\no'her SkV pilot ranged alongside and\nquestioned my faros. \"You Want to get\nmarried, don't you?' said he.
