Nelson did\nthnt and we are afraid she. will continue to regret hor bargain for longer\nyears than most of   us   can see ahead.\nA CHIEL TAKIN' NOTES.\nMr. Gosuell's  description   of bis itinerary through Southern  British   Columbia,    published  iu    The  Victoria\nDaily Globe, makes  interesting  reading.    He  is  a  close    und  intelligent\nobservor  and  writes  most   entertainingly of what he Bees. We  could  have\nwished that he had said more of  Nelson, but no doubt he had in mind tbat\nhis readers would  be  more   interested\nin learning of localities and conditions\nof  which   there  was  less  general in-\nformatiou.    Nelson has passed tbe  infant stage  and   naturally   tho   curiosity respectiug it is not   so  great.    Wo\nreproduce a portion of bis   impressions\ngathered here:   \"Nelson has grown   to\nbe the commercial centre of the Kootenays.    It   has   had   a steady   upward\ngrowth,  with  occasional   halts   only.\nWhen I was there in   1893, its  future\nwas stilljproblematical.aud it was in a\nrather rough  and raw condition.    The\nSlogan   had just been  discovered, and\nits effect   wf.s   hardly to   be   judged.\nKaslo seemed to be the   open   door   to\nits riches, and Nolson was   not in  tbe\nline of traval,   but  Nelson's prospects\nwore only slightly affected by it.    Tbe\nbanks went  in  there.    It   became tho\npaying-out and depository point for the\ndistrict.    Wholesale agencies went  in,\nand now  some  of   Nelson's   branches\nof Ooast and Eastern firms do the  big\nend of the business.    The   opening up\nof tho Crow's   Nest Pass line bas   increased   its   importance    still    more,\nwhile Rossland and   Trail   have   contributed to its   prosperity,   instead of\nlessening   its   influence.    Nelson's future as   the   commercial   capital  and\ncentre of the Kootenays may be said to\nbe assured  beyond   all   peradveuturo,\nIt still bas its problems   in the way of\nstreet-making,   street cleaning, waterworks, and lighting and sewerage, but\nthese will gradually  right   themselves\nin time.    The aldermen seem to   bo  a\nvery intelligent body of men, seriously-\nundertaking the task  set bofore tbem,\nwhich is   not   an easy one.    Nelson is\nnot an  easy  town   in which to  build\nstreets and lay water and sewer pipes.\nThe streets   are   rather   crooked,   by\nreason of the configuration   of the city\nitself, and for  residence  purposes  are\nnot well suited   to   give  easy   access.\nThe town is growing   towards   Bogus-\ntown and along the lake front. \"\nThe compliment to our aldermen is\ndeserved. Tbey are a human lot, and\nat times may be tempted by personal\ninterest to be careless of their municipal responsibility ; but on the whole\nthey are honest and capable and\nare giving the City as careful\nand eoouomical administratiou as could\nreasonably be expected of any body of\nmen. The writer correctly appreciates the difficulties in tho way of civic\nimprovements. Mountains of rock do\nnot offer the best conditions for easy\nor artistic street construction He\nmakes n ourious mistake, however, in\nspeaking of our streets as crooked.\nThe roadway itself may deviate here\nand there, owing to a too obtrusive\nrock formation, but tbo street allowances aro as regular as tho most perfect\nof surveyor's instiuments could make\ntbem. Thero are not a few in the\nCity who believe that this was the oue\ngreat mistake in laying out the town.\nIf tbe streets had been made to wind\naccording as the formation would\ninvite we would have a more picturesque City'and the streets, with their\naocompanimonts of water aud sewer\nservices, would be less difficult to construct. Instead of picking out easy\ngradients, however, those responsible for the plan resolved to adopt the\nusual checkerboard pattern, nnd our\nstreets were laid out due east and\nwest, aud north and south with tho\nmost perfect disregard of nny obstructions in the way. There is strong\nreason to doubt whether tho judgment\nunder whioh this was done was the\nbest.\nSpeaking of Revelstoke's troublos\nwith their water and light ser'ioe, Mr.\nGosnell introduces Nolson by way of\ncomparison. His opinion expressed\nwill be of interest as tbat of ao intelligent person who can scarcely bo accused of partiality or prejudice. \"It is\nhard,\" he says, \"in a new town, eB\npeoially in ono of the Interior towns,\nto make water and light service pay.\nThe cost of equipment and maintenance is high, and the demand limited, with the low dips of temperature\nto inoreaBe tho trouble.\" This is quite\ntrue. But whatever the cost, it is no-\noessary to provide a good water service. That no town can do without it\nis as nooessary as air, or food. The\nlight Bervice is another question. That\nis  an  affair   tbat   may  be  reckoned\nSays the Winnipeg Free Press:\nHon. John Ooitigan votos with the\nDominion Government and is abused\nby tbo Conservative press. Mr. Leigh-\nton McCarthy, a member of the same\nHouse, votes with the Government\nand is denounced in violent language\nby the Opposition papers. A man is\nnot at liberty, it seems, in this country\nto have bis own opinions or to differ\nfrom hide-bound Conservatives with\nout having his motives impugned and\nbis conduct characterized.\" And this\nsame Free Press, for several mouths\npast, has been berating the member\nfor Lisgar for displaying independence\nthrough his newspapers and in the\nHouse. It all depends on which side\nthe independoneo breaks out whether\nit is to be commended   or   condemned.\nWall Papers    THOMSON'S\nA cable to Tho Toronto Mail and\nEmpire of recent date says that the\nImperial authorities havo sent a favorable reply to the Washington proposal\nof an Alaskan modus vivendi. The provisional boundarv was practically\nagreed to a year ago, with the exception of a few miles of the Dalton trail,\nat the end of the Chilkat Pass, from\nPyramid harbour. Tbe Washington\nGovernment's suggestions relate to\nthis strip of tbe Dalton trail. Canada\nbas agreed to the boundary with some\nminor modifications, aud England\nhjs confirmed it. A settlement of\nthe matter is expected, as it is not be-\nlioved that tbe American Government\nwill raise any difficulties ovor Canada's\nmodifications.\nThe Rossland Miner sarcastically\nrecommends, in view of the opposition\nto the Corbin charter, that moasures\nbe taken to prevent the establishment\nof a ferry service botweeu Yictoria\nand Port Angoles. The Spokane\nSpokesman-Review is so pleased at\nthis that it follows it up with a suggestion tbat the Canadian authorities\nshould prohibit the running of steamers on the Kootenay River, to aud fro\nacross the boundary line. If the editors of the Rosslaud and Spokane papers cannot distinguish between these\nand a Kettle River railway, they are\nscarcely intelligent onough to set up\ninstructors of the publio. There\nis such a thing ns intercourse that is\nof mutual advantage; tho advantage\nof a Corbin railway would be exclusively Mr. Corbin's and Canadians are\nnot bouud to promote foreign interosts\nat their own expensf.\nWhat did tho editor of The Victoria\nGlobe mean by publishing those\nold verses, \"Boil it dowu,\" immediately after an installment of Mr. Gos-\nnell's itinerary which occupied about\ntwo and a half columns?\nBoth the Groat Northern.and Northern Pacific in the neighboring Stato aro\nengaging Japanese in preference to\nEuropeans. It is not because the latter can be obtained at a smaller wage,\nfor tho European is a superior workman aud cau easily make up tbe difference ; it is because the Jupanese are\nmore steady and reliable. \\ gaug of\nthom seut out to a section can be de\npended upon to stay thora uutil the job\nis completed, whereas with Europeans\nthoy are continually changing about\nand giving rise to no end of annoyance, as well as expense in replacing\nthem. It would seiin that in Washington the Japanese are regarded as desirable Bottlers. And thoy have their labor agitators thore too.\nVANCOUVER     RAILWAY    WORK.\nViotoria, May S. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Woik ou the\nAlborni-Cowichau road, construction\nof which was started Saturday,is being\npushed forward rapidly.

The bylaw granting fi franchise for tho erection of such works in\nNelson has been drafted, and received\nyesterday its first and seuond readings.\nIt will be further considered on Thursday by the Council in committee ot\nthe whole, when any amendments\nconsidered necessary will be inserted.\nIt is not probable, however, that any\nimportant chages will be mado, in fact\nDr. Doolittle, who was present seemed\nciiiile satisfied that his proposition was\naccepted and announced bis intention\nof telegraphing tne result to his principals, Messrs. \\V. H. Pearson, W. H.\nPearson, Jr., J. I*. Merrifleld nud J.\nT. Wescott, of Tornoto,\nMayor Neelands was in tho chair\nand Aid. Thomson, Beer, Kirkpatrick\nand McKillop, wero also present.\nAfter giving power to the gas company\nto build the necessary works, the bylaw goes on to provide tbat work must\nstart within 00 days, and within six\nmonths must supply gas to whoever\nwants it. The company must also\nspend at least $100,0(10 on the work.\nThe company, in order to protect the\nCity's electric light, must charge not\nless than $51 per 1000 cubic feet of gas\nto consumers, and tinder specified circumstances must light the streets at a\nrate of $2 per 1,000 feet, while they\nmust supply the corporation with\npower, if called upon, at the rate of\n\ufffd\ufffd1 per 1,000 feet. There are the usual regulations regarding the opening\nup of streets, and the carrying away of\nrubbish occasioned thereby. Clause\n10 gives the City the right to takeover\ntho works after 10 years at a pries to\nbo fixed by arbitration. Clause 11\nprovides that the location of tho works\nmust be approved of by the City,\nand clause 12 gives tho company an\nexclusive franchise for 2b years.\nTbe special committee appointed to\nlook into the quostion of securing a\ndeed to the recreation grounds then\npresented their report, to which was\nannexed a letter written by Mr. R.\nMarpole to the Hon. J, Fred Hume on\nJanuary 4, 1H!17, which said in part,\n\"Regarding the recreation ground for\nthe town of Nelson\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd1 am pleased fo\nsay that this matter was definitely arranged between us and tho Commissioner of Lands and Works last summer.\" \"This arrangement was,\" the\nreport goes on to say, \"that the C\nP. R. should deed to the citv of Nelson one-half of block SO, and' half of\nblock (10, iu exchange for which land\nthe Provincial Government agreed to\ngive the C. P. R. lots elsewhere,\" In\nview of tho fact that Mr Marpole stated\nthat a definite arrangement had been\ncome to, tha committee recomnionded\nthat Mr, Hume ba requested to urge\nupon the O. P. R. the necessity of\ncarrying out this agreement, and also\nthat a copy of tho letter bo sent to\nMr. Marpole with a similar request.\nMr. Hume hns offered the city a Union\nJack flag 35x18 to be erected as soon\nas a title is obtained to the laud. Tbe\nCuncii decided to adopt rho report, and\npassed a voto of thanks to Mr. Hume\nfor his offer of the flag.\nTenders were then opened for snp-\nnlying the City with a ton of pig lead.\nThe tenderers were tbe Lawrence\nHaidwnre Co., H. Byers & Co., Nelsou Hardware Co., $110 each, and\nTurner Boeton & Co., 5V4' cents a\npound, or $105 a ton. The lowest\neuder was accepted.\nA application from Mr. Snowdon\nwas read asking for a sidewalk from\nbis house to Josophino street. The request was referred to the Board of\nWorks.\nTlio petition for a by-law authorizing the raising of $10,000 for public\nbuildings was read. Ant*' tho bylaw\nitself then received its first and\nsecond readings.\nAu invitation from the Mayor and\nCouncil of Victoria asking tho Mayor\nand Council of Nolson to visit their\ncity on the Queen's Birthday was\nread.\nThe Nelson Ore Purchasing Company\nwrote asking for a water connection\nwith thoir works ou Water street,\nand also that Poplar street might be\nopened up. The Oity engineer stated\nthat the cost of the work would bo\nabout $800, and it was deoidod bofore\nanswering the request to And out what\nthe Company would do in the wny\nof contributing to the cost.\nAlderman Beer thou introduced a\nbylaw regulating bicycle riding within tho Oity limits. The main provisions are that bicycles may not be\nridden more than eight miloa an hour\non the streets, or six miles au hour\nwhen passing comers. Bells must\nbo carried, and sounded whon foot passengers or vehicles approncii. Lanterns\nnmst be carried after dark.
