At\nKuskouook considerable activity is\nmanifested at present, and several of\nthe stores and hotels which were deserted after the completion of the line\nto tho lake have been again taken up,\nand also a few now ones arc m course\nof erection.\nSirdar, the next town is also fairly\nactive, the grade on the Nelson &\nBedlingtou railway being nearly completed to there, largo gangs of meu aiv\nat work in the vicinity.\nSeveral good claims havn been din-\ncovered in the vieiuitv of Creston. and\nbuilding iR also going.. on. Prom\nKootenay Landing to Kitchener the\ngrade is in fairly good condition,as the\nroad bed runs mainly over a rooky and\ngravelly bed. East of Kitchener, however, a lot of clayey and marshy land\nis encountered, where it will take considerable tune for tlio natural obstacles\nto he entirely overcome. The nrinl.er\nof men employed is very huge, every\nmile or two gnnus being encountered\nworking on all threatening places.\nNear Goatfall, a hill which to the\ninexperienced eye looks very harmless\nis giving no end of trouble. Although\ntho slope is very slight, thero are a\nnumber of springs cause! by the melting of the snow on tho adjoining\nmountains, limning in channels\nunderground and being at present\ngreatly swollen, force their way upward and have converted the bill into\na veritable lako of thick mud, which\nflowing down oarries large masses of\nsolid earth along with it. If the hill\nwas at all steep a state of things would\nbe caused similar to those existing at\nthe loop. As it is constant vigilance\nand hard work is keeping the track\nclear, although at considerable cost to\ntho company, judging by tho number\nof men employed.\nBeyond the hill the land being very\nsoft will also need a lot, of work be-\nfor a permanently satisfactory roil\nhod will be obtained. Ballasting anil\nrilling gangs are keeping it as well as\ncan be oxnected during the present\nfreshets. The scenevv along the line\nat many points is beautiful beyond description, countless small Rtroams,\nswollen to immense proportions by the\nwarm weather dashing down lie sides\nof the moutnins iu the wildest kind of\ncataracts and rapids aro to be soon all\nalong.\nGame is very plentiful especially in\nthe country between Kitchener and\nMoyio. A few days ago a family of\nIndians encamped nonr Yahk, succeeded in shooting ten deer and one of tho\nlargest black bents that have been taken iu that country. Some of the men\nat work on the road have also shotBev-\noral door.\nAt Movie, although the past winter\nand spring has been a hard one, things\nare quite promising. The mines there\nare undoubtedly some of the best yet\ndiscovered in East Kootenay. The St.\nEugoue at present is employing HO men\nbut later the force will he increased\nto the neighborhood of 70. On the\nLake Shoro a new shaft was started\nthe dny the Miner reporter was there,\nand the first surface blast brought up\ngalena which it would be hard to heat.\nThe passengers trains all stop at\nMoyio and tho townsito agents stated\nthat all freights had been doing likewise. However, a freight train caino\nalong,hut despite a gteat deal of flagging\nand signalling it roared past, --* \"\ncouple of waiting passenger\ngiven tho choice of waiting\nregular trnin should come in\nlowing Monday, (it being then Saturday morning) or walking to Cranbrook,\n30'miles. over ono of the roughest wagon roads in British Columbia.\nAt Cranbrook, people are hopeful of the N.irth Star branch of\nthe C. P. R. being started shortlv, I\nand the presence of a party of 0. P. |\nK. engineers who are stationed there, i\nmako it appeal as if their hopes were i\nwell groundod.

Galbraith the Indian neeut of the\nKootenay are now on a trip among\nthe different tribes vaccinating\nthem.\nThe fishing in the Elk, near Elko is\nvery good and an ox.mrsi.m from Pernio to Elko was planned for the 24th\nof May, but owing to one of the two\npassenger trains in service on that division being stalled at the other side of\nthe loop, and the other one being delayed by a washout at Hosmer for a day\nthe exoursion fell through.\nPernio is naturally tho busiest town\nI etwecn Kootenay Lake and the prairie, on the Crow's Nest Linn today.\nSuch a large amount of men are employed at good wages on the mines\nnnd coke oven that it keeps trade in n\n-toady eonfitiou right along. Then\nis a good deal of snow around the\nmines yet, and it is down very low\n'ii the mountains surrounding the\nlown, sn that the variations of climate\n^re rather trying. Directly the sun\nsinks the sometimes oppressive\nwarmth, is changed in a few minutes\ntn a very marked degree of chilliness\nThere are quite a few cases of mountain fever in the town, but outside of\nthat, it seems fairly healthy. The\ncitizens of Pernio are at present much\nexercised over tho slowness of the Provincial Government regarding the\nschool question. There are over 200\nchildren in town while there is no\nschool accommodations whatever. A\nnotice which has been placed in tin\npnstofflce and other places there is also causing a good deal of comment.\nIt vends as follows:\n\"It is forbidden to mako any erection\nor to earn' on any trade upon crown\nlands without obtaining license therefore from the undersigned,\nAll tho land compassed in tho old\nand the new towns of Pernio is Crown\nLand.\n(Signed) J.

He must go out on Mon- Ne]sou ther6 is Rnpposed l0 uu gtenni\nit at that. He must\nday aud give expression to his sentiment by marking a ballot for the bylaws. There is no other known way\niu which they can be carried. These\nimprovements aro all necessaary. They\ncannot be made without money,\nand the money cannot ho obtained\nwithout the sanction of the oleclors.\nMoney by-laws are more often defeated\nthrough neglect or indifference than\nthrough opposition to tho purpose of\nthem, Let there be no neglect on Monday. Every elector having a pride in\ntho City should make it his business to\nattend at the polling and mark his\nballot FOR.\n\"With the large increase of population during the present year and the\nconsequent larger consumption of water, I have no hesitation ill saying\nthat with a cold winter, such as we\nhave just had, tho present water supply will be totally inadequate during\nthe coming winter,\" These are tho\nCity Engineer's words. The opinion\nof which they are tho expression is\ngiven on his professional reputation.\nThere may be differences in estimating\nthe iucrense of population, but any\none who will take the trouble to go up\nand down our residential streets will\nhave ocular evidence of the most convincing character that there is a large\nincrease in the number of houses.\nThis means a largo increase iu tho\nconsumption of water. If we are content to depend on the accident of the\nseasons, vre may forgo the duty of providing n supply for this increased de-\nmaud. That would be most culpable\nimi rovidence. however. Wo cannot entrust onr domestic comfort and convenience to the mercy of an accident,\nnor can we leave to chance the necessary means to protect our property\nagainst tiro. It is the duty of the\nratepayers to do what is required of\nthem to euable tho Council to provide\na water supply that will assure safety\nfor the City against chance or accident of any kind. With this kuowl\nedge of the situation, it is impossible\nto conceive that the electors will refuse or neglect on Monday next to\nvote for the waterworks by-law.\ncommunicntion. Wo recognize, however, that tho Company havo done\nwonders iu the time. Let us not be\ntoo ready to hud fault. Rnilwnys cannot be protected in nil the details in\na day. When tho new service is established we will soon forget the little\ninconveniences nnd aggravations of\ntho past.\nThe sower by law has uu opposition,\nEven professional obstructors have\ntoo wholesome a dread of typhoid epidemics to go that length. Sewerage\nnnd water supply run together, however, and an extension of our present\newer system would be of little vnlue\nt there wero not nn adequate sup-\nlily of water. If wo vote ono of the\nby-laws we must, to bo consistent,\nvote both. The town has already\ninvested pretty heavily in the electric,\nlight plant, and to realise to advantage\nit is necessary to expend more capital.\nIt will bo good business to vote the\nelectric light hy law. The ratepayers\nhave just been informed of the insufficiency of accommodation provided at the\nCity Hall, The position is not a cred -\nltnhle oue, nnd the money required for\nimproving it should bo voted on Monday. We are sure this will be done with\nthe greatest readiness and good will,\nfor parsinjony is not a characteristic of\nNelson citizens.\nThe town has not the least objection\nin the world to a tramway. If a\ncompany will build one, and expend\nmany thousands in tho enterprise, the\npeople will be glad to let them. They\nwill use it or not, ns they nlease, af-\nter it is built! but tho prospect of ir\nis most welcome, and on Monday the\ncitizens will havo pleasure in voting\nthe franchise. Gas works arc everywhere regarded as a valuable additiion\nto the enterprises of a City, and Nelson will be glad to allow Dr. Don-\nlittle's company to establish them\nhere. The company stand all the cost;\nwe have only to grant tho permission.\nTHE ELECTIONS IN COLUMBIA.\nMost industrious nnd painstaking\nefforts have been made to frighten\nlectors against voting for the money\nby-laws, by flourishing in their faces\nthe bugbear of increased taxation.\nThe money is required because thn\ntown is growiug. If it wero not growing ; that is, if the population wera\nnot to bo greater than it was a year or\ntwo ago, when its first municipal\nequipment was provided, we could do\ncomfortably with what wo have. But\nit has outgrown its clothes, nnd new\nones are necessary. It is this growth\nthat compels the expenditure of more\nmoney, and the same growth will so\nincrease the assessment and other\nwise contribute to the municipal revenues that the rate of taxation is\nmore likely be lessened than increased.\nNo town of healthy growth has ever\nsuffered through keeping up with its\nrequirements, ; nor will Nelson. The\ndanger of injury is in not doing it.\nTlio proposed expenditure is for requirements that aro absolutely necessary, and in providing them it is\ndoubtfnl if a ratepayer in tho City will\never be sensible of increased charges\nnn his business or property. On the\no intrary, the benefits that are certain\nto result will improvo the condition\nof both.\nColumbia, May 20.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdvia Rossland,\nMay 2(1.--The first civio election bald\nin the city of Columbia took place\ntoday and resunlted as follows: Mayor, Charles Hay, acclamation: Aldermen, P.
