If you lose or gain as much as\neight ounces you should immediately\nconsult a doctor, while the gain or loss\nof a pound Indicates you are on the\nverge of serious Illness.

Nows.\nPermit tue through your columns to call attention to\nthc very flagrant abuse of patronage exhibited by the committee selected for the appointment of men to do tho work\non tho Duncan river, which power of patronage was entrusted to these gentlemen by Mr. Key, tbe Dominion engineer in charge, unrestricted by any conditions save as to\nthe appointment of live men. This power has been abused\nby these gentlemen to the extent that although their\nfriends and relations have been found positions on tho\nwork, some of tho oldost sottlers in that section, land holders and tax-payers at that, havo been refused work, myself\namong tho number, although the oldest land bolder and\ntax-payer there, and in spile of the fact that I bold a letter\nfrom Mr. Roy promising duo consideration of my claims. I\nmay say In connection with this that Mr. Hoy was apparently able to seethe justice of the claim of my partner and\nc )>owper, Wm. Simpson of Duncan City. Bince his name\nwas on the special list but for some inscrutable reason mine\nwas not. 1 am credibly informed *that Mr. McGregor told\none man of English birth that only Canadians were eligible forthe work. I am also told that Mr. Goodenough has\nfound it possible to make room for his brother though 1 am\nunaware that he hits any special claim to consideration of\nany sort, beyond that fact.\nNow, sir, is it not time that such work should be prop*\neriy managed, with some view to just distribution, by the\nacknowledged government agent himself.and not delegated\nunrestrictedly to a set of men who apparently have no other aim in view than to find their relatives and debtors\nwork, to their own advantage and the satisfaction of personal likes and dislikes.\nI feel bound to add that I think Mr. G. O. Buchanan\nbar. been actuated by perfectly proper motives throughout\nthis affair, but apparently met in ith overwhelming oppositions I know that as far us my case is concerned, I have to\nthank him for much personal effort and I rouble to which ho\nwent for me.

In the meantime, sir, let mo\npoint ont that the interests of tho Liberal party havo seriously suffered through the interested prostitution of\npower by these two men.\n\"Loud complaints and unlimited disgust at their actions are to bo heard on every hand, and wo are in danger\nof jeopardizing through their selfish behftvlor the position\nof tho be,;t member that West Kootenay could possibly\nfind, viz: .Mr. Bostock.

He oilers to submit a r..to t>v a\ncollective policy on our volunteer firemen and their chief at the rate of $5\neach per annum, said policy carrying\nin the event of death by accident, $500,\nand SS eaeh weekly indomnity in the\nevont of accident or sickness. Compensation is limited to 52 weeks in respect to any one accident and to 2H\nweeks in respect to any illness. He requests the council to make this provision \"as a small token of gratitude to\nour volunteer firemen for services rendered, as thoy certainly deserve some\nrecognition from tho citizens, and in\nthis way they will take a deeper interest in their work when called upon for\naction or practice.\"\nAs a substitute for personal official\nbonds, Mr. Twiss offers indenlnity assurance at 5 of one per cent, or $7.Til)\nper $1,000.\nSiiyie It WIU He a Proeperoui Year,\nThe signs of the times all point to a\nvery prosperous year for Kuskonook and\nvicinity. The latest good news is the\npractical assurance ofthe early construction of the Nelson s& Beillinglon railway\nfrom Bonner's Ferry to this point. This\nwill make Kuskonook the virtual terminus ol\" the moat important northerly spur\nof the Great Northern* railway. It will\ndoubtless give Kuskonook terminal\nrutes on freight, through the competition\nof those two great trunk lines, the Great\nNorthern and the Canadian Pacific.\nThe latter railway company's Crow's\nNest line will cud here for several years\nat least, during all of which time Kuskonook will enjoy all the advantage'; of\na terminal on this line. The contract\ndoes not require the Crow's Nest line to\nbe completed to Nelson before December\njist 1900, and there is no reason to suppose that the company cares to complete\nit much in advance of its contract, if in-\neleed they do not seek to be relieved altogether of that very costly bit ol\" road\nbuilding.\nThese things taken together with the\nunprecedented location and development\nof mineral claims in the hills back ofthe\ntown, and the recent raise in wages paid\nto laborers on railway construction ought\nto and will make Kuskonook a hummer.\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDKuskonook Searchlight.\nKUSKONOOK NEWS ITEMS.\nC.
