Tho trade In heavy winter\ngoods is about over so far as Jobbers are\nconcerned and the attention of travellers is now fully occupied with shipping\nsamples. The outlook for the spring Is\nvery promising. Tho market for staple\ngoods Is very firm. The higher prices\nin tho United States will, it is thought,\nlead to advances In the domestic market. The competition from American\ncottons now is less marked than It is\nfrom British goods owing to the preferential tariff which has largely augmented thc Importation of the latter.\nWoollens are all very firmly held, and\nthe tendency is towards still lilsher\nprices.\nTrade In wholesale circles at Toronto\nhas been good this week.

P. R. when the\nBoundary branch was built, has been\ncoming up with more and more prominence tor the last few weeks, and Is ot\nespecial insistence on the Phoenix spur\nof that railway. This Is the shortage ot\nwater. With a particularly dry winter\nseason and an unusually heavy demand\nfor water for engines because of the\nheavy ore traffic over this part ot the\nline, It has caused the railway officials\not this division no little anxiety.\nTbe nearest water tank on the line to\nPhoenix Is located a mile or two below\nHartford Junction, and this has necessarily been drawn on so heavily ot late,\nthat coupled with the dry weather, no\nwater whatever can bo had there at present. Latterly the engines have been\nfilled from the large tank ot the Granby\nmines, into which water from the shafts\nis pumped, but early this week the draft\non this tank was so heavy that It also\nwent dry temporarily, and two-or three\ntimes tho drills at the mines had to be\nstopped until the tank filled again.\nAmusements, however, have now been\nmade for a supply of water from the\nmains of the Phoenix Water Supply\nCo., Ltd., and a hose hns been run from\nthe nearest hydrant, to be replaced with\na four-inch surface main shortly. The\npressure is so high, even at this elevation above the city, that tbe engine tanks\ncan be filled In a few minutes. An average of about 16,000 gallons of water\ndaily is needed by tbe engines in use\nhere, or something over 2,000 gallons tor\neach of the seven locomotives. The new\narrangement will solve the problem for\nthe present, at least, or until soft weather arrives, and provides plenty of\nwater, the plan being a great boon to\nthe C. P. R. Just now.\nAt the Snowshoe mlno there Ib a serious water famine, there being absolutely\nno water for the compressor except that\nwhich Is pumped from the shafts at the\nproperty. The result Is that even then\nthere Is but enough water to operate\nthe machinery for one shift, which is\nnow done. Fortunately, much of the\nwork Just now can bo prosecuted In the\nglory holes or surface quarries. For\ndomestic uses there is still sufficient\nwater at the Snowshoe. In a Bhort time\ntho Snowshoe machinery will be driven\nby electricity, like that at the Granby\nmines, and there will bo less need for\nwater.\nCHAMBEBLAIFS\nPLAIN TALK\nTo a Deputation of Boars\nat Bloemfontein\nChristian Dewet is Trying\nto Make Trouble\nBloemfontein, Feb. 6.\u2014Colonial Me-\nretary Chamberlain today had a two-\nhours' conference with a deputation of\nBoers ot the extreme party, Including\nChristian Dcwet.

Ths\nspeakers were  Semlln,  Oliver and  Mac-\nBride.   Tbe attendance was good and ths\nmeeting was emphatically enthusiastic for\nSemlfn.   The feeling throughout the district la strongly opposed to the government\nand Semlln.will be elected with oat* though\nhis oponent Is by no means the easy mark\nthe people at the coast Imagine,   There Is\nnot a stronger man outside of Betnlln In\nthe riding.  He Is well known all along tke\nC. P. R. line, he resides at Ashcroft, Ifl\none of the \"boys,\" and he is credited with\nhaving an unlimited purse at hie disposal.\nHe Is a liberal and his present stand is\nbeyond the comprehension of hla friends.\nFor years he has been opposed to Pren>\ntlce who was Instrumental In Dr. Sanson\nbeing  deprived  of  the government subsidy of 11,000 a year In aid of the resident\nphysician at Clinton where Sanson then\nresided.   He has also for some time chsr-\nIshed the ambition of running against A.\nW. Smith in West Llllooet   If there war*\ntwo  men  whom   Sanson  cordially  hated\nand against whom he waged Incessant warfare, Prentice and Smith were they, and\ntho spectacle of seeing him falling upon\ntho necks of these opponents without explanation of his .sudden change of front\nhas disgusted friends of long standing. It\nIs openly charged that he has been bought\nand that unless tho bait were a golden one\nSanson would not have put himself tn ths\nunenviable position In which he now finds\nhimself.  Tho man Is In a sense the victim\nof his own conceit.    He firmly believes\nthat he can carry the constituency and In\nthis self deception he will go down to defeat.   Even hla personal friends will vota\nfor his opponent, not because they would\nnot tike to do a good turn for Sanson but\nbecause the feeling Is   very   pronounced\nthat Semlln's victory means Prior's defeat\nIn the house and as that will necessitate\na general election an end will be put to ths\npresent  farcial  arrangement    which   disgraces tho name of government,   Sanson\nhas not yot gone on the stump but he ts\nexpected to do so At once and as he is not\na  bad speaker and does not care much\nwhat ho says, with the assistance of Mclnnes and other of the ministers, the campaign promises to afford lota of entertainment for tho electors.

L. Borden, leader of tho conservative party, has been making some political speeches In the eastern provinces,\nDiscussing the present era of prosperity\nprevalent In Canada the tory loader declined to allow that the policy of the\npresent liberal administration had anything to do with it. As Is pointed out\nby an eastern contemporary, most people will consider on Increase of foreign\ntrade from somo (239,080,000 for 1800 to\nsome 8414,580,000 for 1902 as reason for\nsincere congratulations. It Ib a gain\nexceeding 73 por cent., while during the\nwhole period between 1868, the year following confederation, and 1890, the\ngreatest fluctuation was from 1131,027,000\nto |247,8I8,\u00ab20. The foreign trade was\nsome |42 per capita for 1896 and some\n$78 per capita for 1902. From 1891 the\nlast six years of the conservative administration, the total foreign trade Increased only from\" #18,3847sMr^\nor 9.45 per\" cent,\"'whlle the* Inc'rea'siTof\ntrade during the liberal administration\nns we have said, is some 73 per cent.\nThere can he no doubt that this trade\nhas been considerably encouraged and\nstrengthened by the reformed fiscal policy of the'goverhment*and\"lts^ontinult*y\nallowing everything Mr. Borden may\nplease for a happy concatenation of circumstances. \"It was Mr. Foster's way,\"\nremarks the Montreal Witness, \"to\nbungle at the tariff at every convenient\nopportunity, to the detriment of trade\nand the loss of the country's confidence.\" Naturally Mr. Borden criticized\nthe liberal party's expenditures but\nthere were many calls such as the cost\nof administering the Yukon territory,\nthe completion of the canals to 14 feet\nnavigation, the deepening, widening,\nbuoying and lighting of the St. Lawrence\nroute, and many other matters, some of\nthem necessitated by past neglect and\nsome of them the necessary consequence\nof prosperity and growth. We find, however, that while the revenue of the country amounted to 131,202,802 for tho six\nmonths of the present fiscal year ended\nDecember 31st\u2014a gain of $3,579,007 compared with the corresponding period of\nthe previous fiscal year, at the same time\nthe ordinary expenditure was 111,713,174\nless, and that there was a surplus over\nall expenditures of $7,589,199. The capital expenditure of $4,123,975 was some\n?2,577,233 less than for the corresponding six months of the previous fiscal\nyear, and the decrease of the public debt\nwas $1,510,270. Economies were effected\nIn expenditures on public works, railways and canalB, which decreased from\n$4,440,677 to $2,778,991, while the railway\nsubsidies fell off from $1,642,381 to $802,-\n308. This contraction of expenditures\nand debt while yet the revenue of the\ncountry is expanding, will be approved\nas wise by the majority, Mr. Borden's\ncriticism to the contrary notwithstanding.\nA TIMELY SUGGESTION.\nThe Toronto News suggests that the\npasses through the Rocky mountains\nshould be nationalized. It says: \"For\nthe far west the mountain pass will become as Important aa the canal on our\nSt. Lawrence system. That day is far\ndistant, but In sight, and it behooves the\ngovernment to look ahead.\"\nThe News thinks the day will come\nwhen every available railway through\nthe mountains will be choked with a\nroaring stream of traffic, and consequently it declares that these outlets\nshould not be permuted to fall into the\nhands of private concerns. It rightly\ncontends that a pass through the Rockies\nis a national asset, and should be nationalized as are the canals. An excellent\nbeginning was made when it was stipulated that the C. P. R. shall grant running rights to any other railway wishing\nto use the Crow's Nest pass. The same\nsafeguard should he extended to all thc\npasses when the new transcontinental'\nrailways get far enough advanced to\ntake up the question of entrance to British Columbia. It is worth considering\nwhether a step In advance should not\nbe taken. Might not the government\nsurvey the passes, and plan, build and\nretain the roadway through them, granting running rights to all railways needing them? By such a course the route\ncould be laid out so as ultimately to\naccommodate the heaviest possible\ntraffic, and the rights ot the late-coming\nrailway would not be prejudiced by the\nengineering methods of the pioneer.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nThree dominion bye-elections are\nscheduled for the last week ot this\nmonth, North Grey, Terrebonne, and\nTwo Mountains. Polling day in each\nconstituency is set for Tuesday, the 24th.\nThere is prospect of the return of\nEdward Blake to Canadian political life.\nHe has not achieved a great deal as a\nmember of the British house of commons, and perhaps he realizes that his\nreally great abilities could be exercised\nmore profitably In his own land. Men\nof the type of Edward Blake aro needed\nin Canadian public life.\nA protest has already been entered\nagalnBt the return of R. G. Macpherson\nfor Burrard. Whilst It is reasonably\ncertain that Macpherson polled a majority vote last Wednesday, until the\nreturns come in from Atlin and the\nnorthern const points, there can be no\ncertainty in the matter, and the action\nof Foley's friends appears somewhat\nhasty.\nNOT  WITHOUT  MERIT.\nProposal to Establish a Society For the\nRemoval of \"Knockers.\"\nThe Editor, Tho Dally News,-Allow me\nto trespass on your patience by making a\nfew remarks touching on the formation of\na provincial mining association at Victoria.

Tho other\nIs Mr. Hobson's own suggestion that the\nhydraulic claims which are under lease\nat present nnd from which tlio government\nderive an annual rental, should be crown\ngranted to private Individuals and corporations, which suggestions plainly bespeaks\n\"graft\" on tho face of It, which sliould\nnot be countenanced.\nOutsldo of these two subjecta nothing\nfurther hinted at although there may be\nconsiderable  In   tho  background.\nBut if these gentlemen can see any\nnecessity for radical changes in our pres*\nent mining laws why not point it out, and\nlet the public discuss it, for surely the\npublic can be taken into their confidence,\non questions which our government have\nto deal with? But instead they keep their\nlight under a bushel.\nOn the other hand with the abolition of\nthe two per cent tax and hydraulic leases\ncomes a deficiency In the treasury. How\ncan this be 'met except by levying additional tnxes on some of the other industries\nof tho province, which are, perhaps, at\ntho present time, paying all the taxes\nwhich they can conviently bear.\nLet us assume for the sake of argument\nthat all the other Industries organize liko\nassociations and strive for the abolition\nof their taxes and they certainly hnve tho\nsame right to do so. The result will bo\nthat the industry represented by the association which commands tho biggest\npolitical pull will thrive and fatten to the\nIndisputable detriment of the others. The\npromoters' system of doing business doeB\nnot commend Itself to anyone for Its\nsoundness or logic. For instance we aro\nasked to form tho tail end of an organization, and subscribe our names as members of a local branch, before the head is\nIn evidence, and with no preamble, outline,\naim, or motive to guide ub. Yet this must\nbe done before we can send a delegate to\nVictoria.\nThe writer is strongly of tho opinion\nthat If we could organize a provincial mining association whoso sole aim and object\nwould be to. let the mining laws of British\nColumbia., alone for tho next five years at\nleast, if not longer, and In tho meantime\nrun down some of those self constituted\nmining authorities who are persistently\nout with their \"little hammer,\" we would\nbo working on tho right lines to induce\ncapital  to enter British  Columbia.\nThe funds of this association could be\nutilized to transport some of these undesirable gentlemen to somo warmer and\nmore congenial climate.

Your petitioner is now, and was on\nnnd long prior to tbe 15th day of January, 1903, a voter of tho municipality\nof the city of Nelson, ond registered as\nsuch in the list of voters for the east\nward of eaid municipality; and your\npetitioner voted at the election for nld-\nJ ormen for the east ward of said municipality, hold on said 15th doy of January,\n1903.\n2. The candidates nominated for said\nelection in the said east ward were the\nfollowing: (I) John A. Kirkpatrick; (2)\nChristopher Morrison; (3) John A. Irving;' (4) William G. Gillett; (5) Charles\nB. Miller; (0) George W. Bartlett: Said\nnominations wore held and made on the\n32th day or January, 1903.\n3. After tbe counting of votes cast at\nthe said election, the returning officer,\nJames K. Strachan, declared the said\nJohn A. Kirkpatrick, John A. Irving\nand Christopher Morrison to have received the majority of votes and to hnve\nbeen duly elected as alderman for said\noast ward.\n4. The said Christopher Morrison hns\naccordingly accepted office as such alderman, and has sat, voted .and acted as\nsuch alderman, and still sits, votes and\nActa aa such.\n5. Your petitioner   alleges   Hint tht\nelection nnd return of the said Christopher Morrison as such alderman was\nnnd Is null and void, on the ground that\nhe has not and had not been for the\nsix months next preceding the said day\nof nomination the registered owner In\ntbo land registry office of land or real\nproperly In the said city of Nelson of\nthe nssesscd value, on the last municipal\nassessment roll, of $500 or moro over\nand above any registered encumbrance\nor charge.\nParticulars: (a.) The last municipal\nassessment roll of said city of Nelson\nwas completed and returned by the\nassessor on the 10th day of June, 1902,\nnnd wns revised by the court of revision for said city on the 31st day of\nJuly, 1902.\n(b) The only lands or improvements\nin the said city of Nelson of which the\nsaid Christopher Morrison then was or\nhas since been the registered and assessed owner consist of lots 3 and 4, block\n30, subdivision of lot 95, the assessed\nvalue of which on said assessment roll,\nns so returned and revised, was the sum\nof $2,000 and no more.\n(c.) Said lands and improvements\ncontinued to be so assessed on said\nassessment roll at said value of $2,000\nand no more until the 18th day of November, 1902, when the assessor assumed\nto increase the value thereof on Bald\nroll to the sum of $3,000, by an alteration made by him on said assessment\nroll.\n(d.) The said lands and improvements\nhave been subject to a registered mortgage for $2,000 ever slnco the 25th day\nof April, 1902, when the said mortgage\nwas registered against the same In the\nland registry office for Kootenay land\nregistry district; and said mortgage\nwas at the time of said nomination and\nelection, and during the whole period of\nsix months next preceding said day of\nnomination, and still Is a registered\ncharge or encumbrance in said land\nregistry office, against the said lands and\nImprovements, to the extent of said\nsum of $2,000.\nYour petitioner therefore prays that\nthe validity of the said election of the\nsaid Christopher Morrison may be tried\nbefore a judge of this honorable court;\nand that his said election may he avoided by reason of his not having possessed the requisite property qualification,\nas hereinbefore set forth.\n(b.) That directions may be given for\nthe holding of a new election, or otherwise as to the court may seem At.\n(c.) That the said Christopher Morrison may be ordered to pay your petitioner's costs of suit.\nAnd your petitioner will ever pray.\nDated and delivered the 6th day of\nFebruary, 1903.\nJOHN PATERSON,\nPetitioner.\nThe petitioner's affidavit reads as follows :\nI, John Paterson, of the city of Nelson\nin the province of British Columbia, free\nminer, make oath and say:   '\n1. I am the petitioner named in the\nelection petition hereunto annexed, and\nthe signature thereto Is In my true and\nproper handwriting.\n2. The said petition is presented in\ngood faith.\n3. That such of the statements In said\npetition as relate to my own acts and\ndeeds are true tn substance and In fact;\nnnd such of the statements therein as\nrelate to other matters alleged thoreln,\nI am Informed by my solicitor, Mr.\nRobert W. Hannlngton, and believe to\nbe true In substance and In fact.\n4. That I have examined the last\nmunicipal assessment roll of the said\ncity of Nelson, and have verified the\nstatements made In said petition with\nrespect to the some.\n6. That now shown to mo and marked\nexhibit \"A\" hereto Is an abstract of title\nobtained from the registrar for Kootenay\nland registration district, setting forth\nthe state of tbe title of the lands and\nimprovements of tho said Christopher\nMorrison, mentioned In said petition as\nlots 3 and 4, block 36, subdivision of\nlot 95.\nJOHN  PATERSON.\nSworn nt tho city of Nelson, British\nColumbia, this 6th day of February,\n1903, before me, A. M. Johnson, a commissioner for taking affidavits within\nBritish Columbia.\nR. W. Hannlngton's affidavit Is as\nfollows:\nNow shown to me and marked exhibit\n\"A\" to this affidavit Is a true copy of\nthat portion of the last municipal assessment roll of the city of Nelson which\nrelates to the assessment of Christopher\nMorrison In respect to the lands and\nImprovements described as lots 3 and 4,\nblock 36, subdivision of lot 96.\n2. That the said lands and improvements nre those mentioned by the said\nChristopher Morrison In the statement\nIn writing furnished by him to the\nreturning officer on his nomination for\nalderman mentioned in the petition\nhereunto annexed, stating the lands or\nreal property upon which the said\nChristopher Morrison qualified for such\nnomination,\n3. I have mads a careful   search of\nsaid last municipal assessment roll, and\nfind that the said Christopher Morrison\nis not the assessed owner of any other\nlands In the said city ot Nelson.\n4. The nomination mentioned in said\npetition was held and made on the 12th\nday of January, 1903; and the candidates nominated thereat for election for\naldermen in the said east ward were as\nstated In the said petition.\n5. The said election was held on the\nUth day of January, 1903.\n6. I am informed by Mr. James K.\nStrachan, who was the returning officer\non the said election, and believe that he,\nacting as such returning officer, returned and declared John A. Kirkpatrick,\nJohn A, Irving and the said Christopher\nMorrisons as' the persons elected at said\nelection as aldermen for the east ward\nof the city of Nelson.\n7. I have searched the minutes of the\nmunicipal council of the city of Nelson,\nand find that the said Christopher Morrison has accepted office as such alderman, and has, since said election, sat,\nacted and voted as an alderman of said\ncity, as appears by said minutes.\nR. W. HANNINGTON.\nSworn at the city of Nelson, British\nColumbia, this 6th day of February,\n1903, before me, A. M.

In the evening the\nmoonlight brought out quite a throng\nof skaters. At the rink the Nelson band\nwas in attendance and provided very\ngood skating music for the crowds that\nwore present. The management of the\nrink deserve credit for tbe excellent\nshape they have kept the Ice in thte\nwinter.\nRather a novelty In skating has been\ntried this week on some of the hills of\nthe city. This Is coasting on wooden\nskates, made specially for the purpose.\nThe skates are different from skis, being\nonly about 15 Inches long, and curved\nup in front. Tbe body of tbe skate le\ntriangular shaped, tbe foot resting on\nthe apex, with the edge towards the\nground.
