"The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune."@en . ""@en . "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0187757/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

As regards voting strength, East anil West Kootenay have at least I-100 qualified voters tind a. population as large a.s Yale district at least. West Kootenay is the only inland district iu the province that htul ti rapid increase of population during the year ISO.'], yet its mining resources are only iu the first stages of development. Today, one of its mining divisions alone, although the mine owners tire hampered with almost prohibitive freight rates on ore, is outputting every month ore of greater value than the yearly output of all the mines in Cariboo and Lillooet; more wealth every two months than is produced in Yale in six; and more every six mouths than is produced in New Westminister district in twelve. This statement cannot be disproved. The mines iu Slocan district, during the month ending January 2'ird shipped ore of the value of over $ MO, 000. and fully as much more was mined and left on the dumps. New Westminister district, with till its great resources in timber and fish, and with cheap transport;!.tion, cannot produce raw material or manufactured goods that will sell for half that sum, and Yale, with its agricultural products and cattle, one-quarter of that sum. East and West Kootenay. in justice, are entitled to the same number of representatives in the next legislature as is given either Yale district or New Westminister district. The government should see lo it that a court of revision, of wliich due notice is given, be held at Nelson, not later than April 9th, tit,wliich the voters' list of the electoral district of West Kootenayshall receive a careful overhauling. The list presented to the legislature is simply an abortion. Jf a court of revision is held on April 0th most of the names sent in will appear on the register of voters, a.s they will have been posted the sixty days required under the Act. Since the foregoing was put in type, copies of the coast papers containing:a summary of the public, accounts for the cyoar ending June '30th. ISO,'}, can e to hand. From it will be seen that West Kootenay alone contributed almost as much revenue as Yale or New Westminster districts, iu fact, A Vest Kootenay i.s fourth, on lhe list as tt revenue producer. Yet it has but one member in the present assseinbly, tind will have but one under the new distribution bill if the representation is based on the population as shown by the census taken in ISOO. Redistribution ou any other basis than voting strength and revenue will be unfair to the people who are developing British Columbia. Why should Victoria and Vancouver infants have the same representation in the legislative assembly as die adult miners of litist tind West Kootenay? Why should Cowichan, a dis- tict (hat is sure to return residents of Victoria as members tind which contributes little revenue, be given twice the representtttion of more populous Mainland districts?

'Why the Dominion government keeps post-office inspector Fletcher in charge of so important a. division tis British Columbia, after the complaints that have been made, i.s beyond finding out. Here is a sample of his inefficiency: The inspector asked twice I'or bids for carrying the mails from Waneta to Kobson, Trail to receive service in that way. Hids were sent two weeks before the steamer Columbia stopped running, but as yet the bidder litis received no answer from the inspector. The Trail office is an important one. although the salary given the postmaster would not indicate it. He receives $7..\">() a (|iittrter. and last quarter's salary has been held back because he purchased his supply of stamps tit Nelson instead of tit Victoria. It costs him $10 a week to get the mail for Trail through from Waneta, find ho has now hired an expert accountant to figure up his profits. Items of Interest Picked up by a \"Wandering Correspondent. Saxx' Dknvkr, January 22nd. After a two-weeks' jaunt in a /.ig/.ag manner, taking in the mines of the famed Slocan, i'or the lirst time in very nearly five yetirs' experience in Kootenay district I find myself in the embryo city of New Denver, on the eastern shore of the mountain walled, silver and gold ribbed Slocan hike. Ou the journey from Kaslo not much of interest occurred worth relating until the town of Watson was reached. Some improvements have been made here in the past year, two new hotels have been erected and tin addition has been built to the hotel Watson. The postoffice is tin established fact, and rapid communication can be had with-the outside world through the telegraph office, when the wires are not down. Boar Lake City has hnnroved to the extent of tin additional hotel tind Lane Cilliams raw-hide camp. Around \"Watson anil Bear Lake quite ti number of dvy ore discoveries have been made, anil in a measure opened up during the past two seasons, which add materially to the mineral wealth of the Slocan district. At the present Three Forks i.s the liveliest place iu the entire district. Fvery branch of business i.s well represented and each individual' appears to be doing his share of trade. The Lemon combination appear to be scooping in money by the hatfull, the local representatives being \"Jack'' W. Lowes, manager: \"Jap\" King, chemist; and \".Bert\" Crane, treasurer. A number of fine singers and a few musicians have congregated at The Forks, consequently free concerts of an interesting nature are of nightly occurrence. From Three Forks, the same as from Watson, I branched out on the several trails leading to thodiffercnt mines whicli are being worked during the winter, of which a description will appear in Thi-: Triiscni-: later on. Quite an amount of work is being done on the heavy cuts of the Nakusp Ac Slocan railway between Three Forks and New Denver. At one place the stage road for a fourth of a mile became quite dangerous on account of rocks rolling down, and the enterprising citi/.ens of New Denver turned out anil constructed a new road around tho obstruction tind builttwo new- bridges across Carpenter creek. Like many others, no doubt. I wtis struck with the beautiful situation of and the handsome buildings iu Sexv Denver. The large three-story, finely furnished frame buildings to be seen ou every side would be tin ornament to much older and more pretentious towns. The neat twin-screw steamer \"W. linn tor\" is making regular trips from this point down toSilverton tttthe mouth of Four-mile creek, thence back and to the head of the lake, and -appears to be doing a good business. Thus far' I have only, made the trip to Silverton and back oil the steamer. One of the principal topics of conversation which T have heard on the'\"trip i.s the selection of a proper candidate for member of the next provincial parliament. The favorite and choice of the majority of voters whom I have heard discuss this important question was a surprise to me, a.s I am well satisfied tlie man mentioned, a well-known resident,of Kaslo, has no political ambitions, but now lam aware of tiie fact that should he decide to stand as a candidate for member he would have quite a following in the Slocan district. Several married ladies have lately departed from New Denver to spend the remainder'of I he winter on the outside. In -consequence several new bachelor clubs have been organized. At least 2n() animals are engaged in hauling und rawbiding ore in the Slocan district. The boys at the Washington -mine have enses were paid. Up to this week the shipments of ore from the mines iu Southern Kootenay have all been made to smelters in the United States. This week a OO-ton ship--- ment or Silver King ore was made to Swansea, Wtiles, anel another (iO-ton shipment will follow in a few days\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDas soon tis the ore can be double sacked. Once this ore is lauded at Swa'nsea its stile will\"-., be published in the mining journals ofr \" London and reported in the circulars'sent ' out monthly by such well-known ore and metal buyers as James Lewis lo*0.I2 ti Ion, reckoning silver at^2d. an ounce and copper atSs. 3d.a unit\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe Liverpool price cm January 2nd. Another event happened this week which shows that the smelters are becoming interested, a first shipment being made to the Omaha-Grant works at Omaha. Heretofore most of the ore-has been going to Great Falls, Montana, and to San Francisco. But the Omaha people are in the field, and in the field to stay.- The rate given by the Omaha smelter was less by $1.50 a ton than the rates heretofore given any mine owner in West Kootenay. The shipment wtis from the Noble Five mines in Slocan district, was seventy- five tons, and wtis made up of about eqiml quantities .of carbonate ore lmd galena ore. The rate given was $20.50 a ton. It is rumored that next spring, on completion of the Nakusp'. & '.Slocan railway to Three Forks, there will be some lively bidding for Slocan.' ores, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'and- that the Omaha-Grant works will have \"the. pull\" with the Canadian Pacific, as that road will get the long haul on all ore shipped' to Omaha. The Canadian Pacific practically has its own line to Minneapolis, which is only 'J27 miles' from Omaha. The freight rate from Three Forks will probably be based on the value of the ore, and will run from $15 to $.19 a ton. The saving to the mine owners on completion of railways into Sloean district will not be less than $15 a ton. and if the Wilson bi I goes through congress, another $10 a ton- will be saved on duty. This saving of $25 ti ton i.s a pretty good profit iu itself. There i.s already considerable competition between smelters for the ores of our mines, tis during the month of January shipments xveve made to the I'nited Smelting \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDS: Hefining Company, Gretit Falls.

The objections raised against the proposed convention in West Jvootenay tire amusing, and the more especially so when the motives of the objectors are known. One man who is tt candidate objects to the convention i'or the reason that he fears it will be controlled in the interest of a candidate stronger than himself: yet thtit same man was willing to abide by the decision of half a dozen self-appointed delegates from the main towns in sou! hern Kootenay, who were to meet and select a candidate.'- He was willing to abide by the decision of half a dozen self-appointed leaders, butts unwilling to take chances in a convention made up of. .delegates from every settlement aiicl town in the district. Other would-be candidates object to the convention for the reason that the outlying settlements tind small towns have representation: yet on election day these candidates will not object to having the votes east for them at these outlying settlements and towns counted. The poor devils in the outlying settlements and small towns are good enough to vote, but not good enough to have any voice in selecting candidates before the election. Voters of Trail, Waneta, Toad .Mountain, Watson, Three Porks, Silverton. Ains- -worth. Nakusp, Robson. Fire Valley, Lar- deau City, Trout Lake City. Hall's'Landing, Big Bend, Illecillewaet, Glacier House, and Rykert's. you do not count as against, the voters in the populous towns iike Kaslo and Sew Denver and Revelstoke and Nelson. Y'ou are to vote a.s the big guns at Ktislo tind Xew Denver and .Kevelstoke and Xelson tell you. These big giins would hold a convention made up entirely of delegates from Ktislo and .Xew Denver tind Kevelstoke and Nelson. Tiiio Tifini'Nio favors holding the convention if every settlement, hamlet, mining camp, town, and city in the district is given representation: no town or cily to have so large a delegation that its vote or iiillucncc will be all-powerful. That is wherein Tllio Ti-IMUNIO titul the big gnus differ. Tin-: Tkiuuxio will support the nominee of a convention made up of delegates from all portions of the district, whether the convention declares itself opposed to or in favor of the Davie government, or whether the candidate nominated resides at Nelson or Nakusp, ab Kaslo or Illecillewaet. Tin-; Trimu.vio believes that the wishes of the people of the district, should be carried out. not the wishes of u few candidates who have au overweening ambition to hold office. THE MINERS HARDIHOOD. The Miner is the only newspaper in West Kootenay that has a legislative candidate of its own. the other newspapers not having the hardihood lo espousv ti candidate. The Miner's candidale i.s Frank Fletcher of Nelson. .Mr. Fletcher, although an employee of tho Canadian Pacific railway, i.s closely identified with the district; in fact, till, or nearly .'ill. his interests are in West Kootenay. lie is a man of good business ability, of good habits, tind is an all-round good fellow. Canadian Pacific has brought b.ii'n in close contact with officeholders, and his success iu getting what his company Avants is the best proof that he is able to hold his own with the best of them. Whether he could do as much I'or the people tis he'does for Lhe railroad company is the question. If .Mr. Fletcher is actually a candidate he will probably, in due course of time, make the announcement through some other newspaper than The .Miner, which has of late degenerated to boa mere organ of non-resident corporations. HAS NO MONOPOLY. The statement made by The .Miner that Nelson is saddled with a monopoly in the -shape- of the Consumers' Waterworks Company is simply made for political effect, tind its falsity will readily be seen by reading llie company's charier. The Consumers' Waterworks Company litis no exclusive rights, other than to .take the water needed for the purposes of the company from Ward Creek find the Illtist Fork of Cottonwood .Smith creek. The company litis no right to take water from Cottonwood Smith creek. lu the event of Nelson being incorporated, the city can put in its own waterworks, and need not- pay the Consumers' Waterworks Company one dolhir. for the good reason that there are creeks other than Ward and the Fast Fork from which an ample supply of water can be obtained--- Anderson creek, I'oi- instance. The hist section of the Act 'chartering the company sttites very plainly that the powers and privileges conferred on the company tire subject to any future legislation which the legislative assembly may see lit to adopt. In other words, if tho town of Nelson is incorporated and the Consumers' Waterworks Company neglects or refuses to put in tin efficient system of waterworks, the corporation of Nelson needs only bring the question before the legislative assembly, and if ti case is proven, legislation can be procured that will either compel the water company to put in efficient works or wipe, the company out of existence altogether. Tiik Vancouver \"World, a paper that litis the ear of premier Davie, says the government litis not .yet decided whether to make the next legislature one elected from ridings, or from districts a.s tit present, liy till means, make it by ridings, liy ridings, the curse of local jealousy of towns will at least be reduced to a minimum, and the legislature will be made up, on the whole, of a better class of members. tlie tension will be restored, but again there will be collapse. The repetition of the process must n.ake his brain reel, and rack his aching head. When tit hist he is called to speak, his performance will lose half the verve it would have had tit first. To crown all, there is something of the ridiculous in the whole affair, so the sufferer will never confess his sufferings. THE VOTERS- LIST.

Sir diehard Temple, in his book \"Life in Parliament.\" gives ti pathetic, account of the trouble of a liritish member who i.s unfortunate in his efforts to catch the speaker's eye. lie* says it sometimes happens that a member may rise time after time, night tifter night, till his heart grows sick, und yet i.s not called, lie sees man after num. with less claims thau himself, c.-iiled before liiin. and he naturally wonders. On the olher hand, the position of the speaker must, be difficult, inasmuch a.s he has to balance many considerations unknown to the members generally, lie is probably the only man who knows every member of the house, tind he must always have some reason in his own mind. The bouse, though never seeking to enter into the reasons, accepts his conclusions. He is the speaker for all l he members not I'or the best man only, but for the whole body. It does not follow that I he ablest man or the most experienced are called first by him. The house contains members juvenile nnd aged, famous and unknown, able tind insignificant, potent and feeble he must be speaker for I hem alike and for voting in the division lobby, there i.s equality between t hem all.

Tlie, women htul gone to the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD thirsty hind of giving for a few c er pursuing columns. It stern-chase, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDpjrforined kies of cloudless bine in a heat intolerable. And it wtis best expressed by our lieutenant, who. on being informed by a certain captain of \"Nubian Horse\" that he was after Ceroiiinio. replied: \"Yes. captain, a long way after.\" It was like cutting cards for an ace or calling the turn tit roulette or faro to tell which one of some twenty-live troops would be in at thedealh. We had had our little spurt;; had brushed them off the divide, tind for three days led in the open across the valley fo the Sierra Mtulre. where Iresher horse- llesh cut in from our right and took from us the place of honor a nd left us, foot-sore and back-sore and winded, tit the base of the mountains, where we were ordered a day's march back into the valley, near the border, to guard water-holes of the San Simon in the sullen month of August. The nights were getting bearable, but the day heat still held on with the stubborn insistence of a southern summer. Our camp was not happy\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe water was bad; our shelter-halves, but little thicker than cheese-cloth, proved leaky sun-shades, and we rein forced , them with our saddle- blankets: we had no amusement except to growl, wish we were in the chase, and wonder whose blooming intellect, had squatted us down among Gila inonsleis and sand-Mies to watch wafer so foul neither soil nor sun would drink it. The local sports of the cantonment xvere disgusted. A week before they were giving odds ten to three- on us in the race;, tind now used pool-checks to light cigarettes from tlie candles about the cook-fire. There was not a drop of anything in camp. The tobacco was running low. The only park of cards wtis a \"inontc lay-out\" our pucker had scraped from horse-hide with ;i piece of broken glass. Something was going to happen, for the .-train was telling on men's nervi's. The weather was too hot for camp idleness, ami we were near the \"line.\" I was first sergeant of L Troop then, find next to a coward or ti thief, I think I loathed ti old story: not worth the telling;'J'don't know why I keep it.\" lie spoke with the same absent interest we were feeling over this work for the dead. It struck me as peculiar that in a romance accomplished there should be no trace either of bitterness or\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD remorse, only of weary indifference. I was so quickly fascinated by the lace that Leightoifs manner annoyed me, and i did not ask' him for the story. 'Possibly overheat makes men irritable,'for somehow I resented this careless fellow wearing about him ti face like that, with less interest than he wore his spurs. I did not then notice the resemblance of the .face to Leigh ton's. I stopped abruptly and thought of desertion, changing the conversation to this, the subject of my day's musing. \" Leigh ton, something's got to be done to relieve the pressure. I know the lieutenant would like to do so. Me .fools the pulse of this ctunp and knows the symptoms. .But what can he do?\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhis orders to remain hero, are .imperative, and he can't \"pass\" us across the line.\" \"Hunting leave.\" laughed Leighton. \"Hunting leave;, then, let it be,\" I replied, \"with noc|iiestions asked tis to game or preserve, though I can tell what yours will be, you young devil! Tomorrow make out a hunting pass for six.\" Leighton was humming a catchy service ballad that had .appeared in London music-halls the year before, and did not reply. Next; morning. I presented with the report four-days' hunting pass for six men. The lieutenant clipped his pen in the ink aud held itiu contemplation for a moment above the place I'or signature. looking thoughtfully .across the level plain. Then, with quick decision: \"I wish, sergeant, you and Leighton would take hunting pass, tind let no complications arise.\" He- signed the pass, adding our names to the text. The following evening found us till in Correlitos. Aftet dinner, while smoking Vuelta Abajo of the \"Zona Libra,\" I strolled through tlie streets of this old Spanish town, watching the wealth of tt western sunset, where the after-glow wtis fast lading. High above the mountain tops lay great- billows of russet flame, with crests like the mane of a wind-fanned prairie lire. Lower iu the niadre spread the pure deep purple of southern twilight, while from the foot-hills came tho soft evening breeze born tifter the first heat of day. Kven sounds fell on the ear so gently you thought that before reaching you they must, have loitered to bathe in the acequia and caught some of its murmur. On the plazti I passed two groups of comrades, one seeking solace in brandy. the other fortune in roulette pleasant pastimes thai might lead lo \"complications\" while money lasted, and would bear light watching. I walked on to the .Jardin de Oro. a smtill public park\", where serenaders an; inspired find listeners stroll or scat themselves on benches or the grass. (July those who have suffered the heat tind glare of ti campaign in the desert can green trees and of water, i wtis seated listening to the soft Indian Spanish as it fell about me in slow chatter. Prom afar it mingled with the murmur of tho fountain. What ti contrast this scene to tho hot camp I had just left, where were heard only the whirr of the rattlesnake or the insistent cooing of the lonely turtledove -mournful sounds which seem to add to the vibrant heal. Above fhe mountains lay ti zone of troubled white, from which the moon had now risen into the full, upper blue, causing the leaves over head to cast shadows in arabesque on the grass a f my feet, where, a.s the night breeze stirred the foliage, if wove marvelous figures in trefoil tind tracery for fancy to play with as those made by Humes in a. grate. Now it was the lines of a Gothic window, seen in tin old cathedral tind almost forgotten, and now. on grander scale, the design of delicate drawn work recti lied from my lady's chamber. Leighton was there, a mantilla beside him. I could only half sue the revealed ovtil of the lace, but fhe figure was slight tind pretty, for I caught Us graceful outline later when they passed me. Next evening, at ti btiile, Leighton presented ine to Panchita. Together they were dancing\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhe and this pretty tiniihtil, with eyes for him alone. In the desert so rapid i.s love's kindling, so quick and full its flame, no charred or ,half-burned brands are here left on love's altar. All i.s coi isi in ied. fi nd what survives must spring. phumix-Iike. from fire or else decent! from heaven. Affer the dtinza ended. Leighton was standing in shirt-sleeves near hinchita, with fhe. collar of his jersey open at the throat\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa trick of his that made me suspect, he had seen service in the navy. As he leaned over her, Panehita's eye caught sight of the locket chain, tintl he removed the locket, opened it, and handed it to her; this time not indifferently, but with all the pride of prized conquest.' I was watching Panchita closely as she gazed fascinated by the portrait, tind I saw her tremble. Only as I read lier face then by what I now know, can J toll how well if expressed all that hopeless sense of loss which comes with the abandonment of things loved or desired. For an instant her eyes showed the rage a child some- limes feels for an inanimate object, when thttt object has hurt it. And I thought she would break the locket: then the woman conquered, and she smiled as she returned it. \"Klla es muy herinosa. senor!\" From that moment her abandonment toward Leighton was complete: her gay- efy and grtice became exquisite, while'a look from him would lead her. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\"Oil, you Kastcin dervish of hearts!\" J exela.in.ied.to. myself, as Panchita left hi in tind skip]ied to get a, handful of casearones and then returned, crushing tlie pretty, tinsel spangles in u .shower over his brown head and throat. She flitted about him with the grtice of a., bird, \"and her eyes never left him. She wtis becoming intoxicated with her own movements; her cheeks were flushed with bright fever- spots, and her eyes shone like stars. On and .on..they danced, seeing only each other,'and she looked as if she could dance forever. At length Leighton proposed they go, and she obeyed his wish tis if hypnotized or impelled to do it; tind, ignoring .\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD.her deiinna. they left together. ol for the White Grouse Mountain Mines! The Rich Copper-Silver Mines on Grouse Mountain are easily reached from the new townsite on the east side of Kootenay Lake, and which is distant about sixteen miles from the mines.

Duties levied on such raw materials are returned to the exporter when the manufactured product is sold abroad, thus making such materials fvee of duty. It is difficult to understand whether president Cleveland and speaker Crisp intend deliberately to deceive, or whether they simply do not know what they are talking about. We have now what tire practically free raw materials for our foreign trade, and protected raw materitils for our home trade: we are certain of our home market, and have an equal chance in foreign markets. The statements of the president and the speaker are false\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD thtit is the only word to use. Jhif probably they are not deliberately false. Perhaps neither gentlemen litis ever read the .McKinley Bill, lu that case, they could reply, as did Dr. .Johnson when asked by a lady why lie had made a certain incorrect delinifion: \"Ignorance, madame: pure ignorance.\" A DENTIST'S NERVE. paper, which, he says, will probably be started in thirty clays. Its name will be the Nor wester, and, although it is intended to become ti, morning, evening, and weekly paper, only tlie evening and weekly wiil be issued at first. The authorized capital of his company i.s $2.'5,0(X). The next week I ruled Leigh ton's official epitaph in the L Troop records thus: \"Deserted from hunting pass August IS, ISSO.\" You see the case was an awkward one. The night of tlie bade he had been.stabbed in the'park. I found his body there, and my comrades were about to string up Morales, Panehita's local admirer, for the stabbing, when I stopped them. \"Hold on boys, 1 said; \"remember I promised the lieutenant no \"complications.\"' So Leighton became officially a \"deserter,\" and I .'kept my word. Besides, ] doubt if stringing up would have been fair to Morales, for when I found Leighton's body, the locket wtis lying on the ground beside it. The clasp was open and the portrait blood-stained and mutilated, tis if by the point of a dagger. 1 think Leighton half knew what he was doing when he flaunted that portrait tit Panchita- he was a careless devil, and loved danger in a way to win any woman's heart. But you see it was his first affair iu this land, aud he was mistaken in their temper. liow could I hit his record remain so? Well, what could I do? Besides. Leighton wits not- his right, name, as I found out afterward when leading his home letters to get his relatives' address. His name was .lack Laiighorn. and lhat locket the rascal showed me contained a portrait of his youngest sister. 1 found out in writing \"to his family, whom I fold that Lang- horn wtis killed by lhe Apaches in the fight at Chiracliuca Pass - that occurred two weeks before his death. Three yetirs later .lack's sister came to the states, where 1 met- her in Colorado, the .vear after I left the service and made tlie strike at llarqua liala. She i.s Mrs. Narlin now, and you met her at dinner. But remember, she. knows only half the story of her portrait, find .hick Laiighorn was killed by the Apaches. Let us join the ladies. Two Ipjnorant Americans. President Cleveland, in his tariff-reform message, makes this assertion : The tariff on raw materitils conlines the trade of the I'nited States \"within our borders,\" because, not buying our materials so cheaply as our foreign competitors, we can not- n markets, published in the American .Journal of Politics for August, 1S!'2, makes this statement: \"Our manufacturers can not pay duly ou raw coin pete with them in foreign Speaker Crisp, iu tin article j How a Tootli was Extracted From the Jaw of an Amazon. The Chicago Herald gives the following laughable account of bow a nervy Chicago dentist extracted an aching tooth from the-.jaw of a lady from Dahomey, (luring the World's Pair. The article is till the; 'more readable because of a recent visit to Nelson of a nervy dentist, who has had hundreds of like adventures at Bonner's Ferry, a town in So Man's Land: \"It was late one night during the fair when Or. Yeager's residence bell was rung. The visitor was a messenger from manager Penny of the Dahomey village, asking the physician to come at once to the village and attend a patient suffering from the toothache. The doctor went more for the sake of the adventure than for the fee. He was stiown to the bedside of the woman and proceeded to examine the big tooth inclosed in a, mouth that .openedI like a cellar door. To make sure which wtis the offending tooth Dr. Yeager began prying around with his little steel instrument so familiar to till who have visited the chamber of horrors known a.s dentist's parlors. ; lie accidentally touched the nerve of the decayed and aching molar, and the ania/.on let loose a yell that drew to her side every member of the village. *'lt was an excited tind wildly demonstrative crowd'tluit danced about the woman's bedside. Dr. Veager coolly continued his work, however, and finally, before the woman could prevent him, he had sneaked from his pocket a pair of shining forceps a nel hooked on to the pain producing worry. Sari was not astonished, but she was hurt. A.s the steel instrument went crashing into tlie gum surrounding the aching tootli the brawny woman sot up a howl that set every one of her sisters and the black men wild with excitement. The louder the a ma/on yelled the harder Dr. Veager pulled. Shestruck wilclly at the man tit tlie other end of the forceps, but the doctor's dodging powers are tis acute as they xvere the day he left the college football team. ; \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'She finally leaped from the cot on which she reclined, and still the doctor j pulled at the molar. Sari struck viciously j tit her torturer, but here the doctor j showed great strategy by keeping the I woman's head so far in advance ol' her body that the blows full short. \"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAround and around the village went the doctor tind the patient. The former tugged and kept cool. The woman made the night hideous with her cries find grew angrier every moment. Still the molar held its own. The men in the village danced about the struggling doctor and iiniii'/.on fi f if I expressed their delight a t the spectacle in wild dances find peculiar cries. \"The end came tit last and in a most unexpected manner. Sonic of the villagers, perceiving that the doctor's strength was almost, exhausted and admiring the pluck he demonstrated by holding on tis long as he had. decided to fake the matter in hand, separate the man of medicine from the insanely angry woman and fit the same time protect the former from injury. Three or four men sci/.od the woman, ami two aniti/.oiis seized the doctor. The two piirties pulled in opposite directions, and suddenly fhe bond that united the doctor and she of the aching molar was broken. At the same instant fhe woman was thrown over the heads of the attacking party tit, her rear, and fhe doctor went sailing over fin- shoulders of I host; who had sei/.ed him. \"A moment later Dr. Veagcr was seen iltiiigon Ihe ground holding aloft flu EVMSPORT.

McDougall believes he can secure sufficient votes to place him in the coveted position, and in that innocent belief we shall kindly let him rest undisturbed. His. platform will be decidedly antagonistic to that of Theodore Davie's government, to which, he states, he i.s \"opposed' on principle.\" Among the planks in the aforesaid platform : Canada for Canadians; free silver coinage and a national mint; larger grants to roads and fill necessary public works in West, .Knotenay, and ti host of other beautiful and momentous subjects. He will also appeal to theconvictionsof till strictly honest. Liberals, or Grits, in the country, and in this way liring to the front the old partyisius of eastern Canada ft truly novel feature in liritish Columbia politics. .Mr. McDougall hails from the good old Scotch county of liruce, in northwestern Ontario, tind he emphatically ttsserts that he \"will carry the riding.\" Me is a good stump speaker and when warmed to the subject can talk in a manner rivaling any son of I'lrin. In educational matters he; i.s intensely interested, being tit present one of our public school trustees, and in all affairs appertaining fo the weal of the citizens he is .always well to the front. Such then is our local candidate's stand, and the worst we can wish him is that he will not be hist in thegreat political race to be run in West Kootenay some time during the present year.
