"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/1.0187836/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

The result was that it was defeated. There is the same trouble brewing in the imperial house of commons, but in this instance more drastic measures have been taken. Sir Wilfrid Lawson, the champion of the temperance cause in the house, is determined to test the legality of liquor sales and has issued a summons trgainsfc the manager of the refreshment bar, citing him to appear at Bow street police court on a charge of selling intoxicating liquor on unlicensed premises. The theory of the defence is that the houses of parliament, being a royal palace, are entitled to exemption, and is rather interesting. The only course will be, if a conviction is obtained, for the manager of the restaurant to take out a license. Does God, Help those Wlio Help Contractors Like Mackenzie &Hlann? , ' Joseph Hunter, the present member for the district of Comox, has/for. the-, past eight years been one of the most consistent supporters of the policy of the Davie- Turner governments. When, therefore, such a government , supporter finds it necessary to take strong ground in opposition to the government'srailway policy,' it may be taken for granted that there is something wrong with that policy. In debating the second reading of the government's $5,01)0,000 railway loan bill, Mr. Hunter thus expressed himself: . Jlr. Hunter said he wtis brought to believe from what he had seen in the last mouth that the railway scheme was nothing but an organized attempt to plunder (he province of $1,000,000. He had heard a good deal about party lines and believed in them to a certain extent as necessary machinery, but here was a case where all should meet on common ground in the interests of the country. He wa.s sorry to have to differ with colleagues with whom he had agreed for eight years, but tliey had used a great many argument's to justify tlie road from Glenora to the coast and none of them would do. They wore fallacious. The Hon. Mr. Pooley had reminded the house that \"God helps them who help themselves,\" but he had said nothing about God helping those wlio helped Mackenzie 6c Mann. If the privilege of bonding was taken away and the railway was not to be finished for two years antl a half there would be no use for it. It was his firm conviction, that the Yukon business in two years would not warrant it. The argument had been used that the road to the coast would open up Cassiar, but if the honorable gentlemen who argued that way would take a look at the map of the route they would surely be struck wifclr the nonsense of their argument. The line was mapped out to skirt the coast. He had had some experience in that country and he doubted if it was practicable. SHOULD BE A CLOSE VOTE. Nelson Rifle Company. Captain A. E.

The Kootenaian of Friday contains a column of \"good reasons\" why the Canadian Pacific railway company should not have a monopoly of the carrying business iu this province. It is very good reading, but. the paper which countenances it aud publishes it supports a government whose railway policy means nothing but the perfecting of tlie Canadian Pacific monopoly in British Columbia. The Cariboo's Regular Dividend. The Cariboo Gold Mining 6c Milling Company, operating the Cariboo mine at Camp MeKinney, has declared a dividend of $10,000. This is the eighteenth s t e paid during 1807 dividends to the amount of $8-1,000. aiviaenci ot -piu.uuu. rms is tne eighteenth dividend paid by the company and swells the total to $201,005. The first payment was made in February, 1805. The mine Premier Turner to Run in Cliilliwhack. The government supporters iu Chilli- whack have come to the conclusion that they can not hope to succeed with any elector in the riding as their candidate, and they have asked premier Turner to accept their nomination. It is said that the premier will accept. This will uot prevent his running in Victoria city as wel 1. Attacked From Two Quarters. Between Lady Aberdeen, who wants the young ladies of Ottawa to behave kindly to strangers at the swagger dances, and Robert Lome Richardson, M.P., who wishes to expose the salaries of all civil servants to the attacks of creditors, society at Ottawa would seem to be in a fair way to be regulated. Dr. Milne Goes Over Also. The latest report from Victoria is to the ell'ect that premier Turner has patched up a deal with Dr. Milne's faction in Victoria, whereby the Milne wing of the Liberal party in the capital will support the government of the day. Dr. Milne wa.s formerly a membot' o.: the legislature, sit-tit-P as one of the members for the capital, and in opposition to the Davie government in which premier Turner was finance minister. Milne is interested in the V. V. 6c E. railway charter which has been so liberally bonused by the Turner-government. Dr.'Milne will bring no strength to the government party in Victoria. His unpopularity killed William Templeman's chances of election in Victoria as a member of the commons in '1890. The story of Milne's contemplated political right-about strengthens the rumor that Mclnnes has some understanding with the Turner government with respect to a place in the cabinet, as Milne and the Mclnnessfamily pull together on everything. Could not Make a Set-off. The case of Simpson v. Pearson & Smith brought out an interesting point this week., The plaintiff is a builder, and contracted to put up an hotel for Pearson 6c Smith, who conduct a brewery and hotel in Sandon. During the course of erecting the building: Simpson ran up a bar bill, and the defendants refused to pay for the work on their building unless they were allowed a set-off for $173 being the amount which they said the plaintiff owed them for liquors. From the evidence adduced Simpson in four days ran up a bar bill of $100, one treat being entered as costing him $.12.50. The case came before \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDjudge \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDForin in a suit to recover the amount due for the construction of tlie defendant's building. Judgment was given for the plaintiff without allowing .any set-off for the drinks. That Cheap Money for Farmers. There is not so much to be feared from the.. clie'ap money bill wliich the government lias passed this session tis some people may be inclined to think. In the way in which the bill is framed it will be iin- possible for thegovernment to get pinched on any of the loans made under it. Should default be made upon any of (he debentures guaranteed by the mutual credit associations under the act the hinds upon which the loans were secured become directly liable and subject to a special tax until the whole amount of the indebtedness is paid off. A Wonderful Railway Policy. When the Canadian Pacific Railway Company was fighting the Ivettle River railway bill in the house of commons, the statement was made by the Canadian Pacific officials that their compony would build the road into Boundary Creek without asking for any bonus. The railway policy of the provincial government is to force the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to take $720,000 for doing what the company's officials said would be done without asking for any bonus. The Waverley's Concentrator Shipped. The concentrator for the Waverly mine has been shipped and the company intends to resjime active operations tis soon as the state of the wagon road permits. The company will be employing about 150 men as soon as their operations are in full blast this summer. Two'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD, Government Supporters Have Recorded Adverse Votes Upon the Railway Bill. 'The manner in which the Turner government's $5,000,000 railway aid bill is being received in the legislature is the best possible evidence of-the dangerous character of such legislation. Mr. Semlin, the leader of tJie opposition, followed premier Turner in the debate upon the second reading of tlie bill and moved an amendment that the present bill be withdrawn, and one substituted dealing only with that section of the road .between Glenora and Teslin lake, without auy increase per mile, and no land grant, and the portion from Glenora to the sea to be left over till'after the elections. During the debate upon Semlin's amendment, Mr. Hunter, a pronounced government supporter, denounced the bill in vory strong language. 'With respect to the Yukon railway provision he declared that it was an organized attempl to plunder the province of $1,000,000. Refused to Furnish any Information. In the legislature last week an attempt was made to have the Turner government furnish the legislature' with copies of all correspondence between the government nnd any other parties,-with reference to the construction of tt railway from Teslin lake to the coast. It was tlie wish of the members that they should have the correspondence, so that they might intelligently discuss the second reading of the bill which provided for the granting of $1,000,000 in aid of such a railway, ft will surprise anyone not acquainted with the tactics of the Turner government to learu that the cabinet refused to accede to this request and negatived the resolution upon the following division : Yeas: Sword, Kennedy, Hume, Forster, Macpherson, Kidd, Vedder, Williams, Semlin, Cotton.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING. Re- MANILA PRIZE MONEY. to rear admiral hi.s victory at something over The Situation in Rossland. Rosslander : Prom Monday night's meeting:, called by the opposition, it is apparent that no straight government candidate will dare enter the field for Rossland riding. The politicians whose leanings arcs toward the powers that be will as- stn,ne tho disguise of independents. The unanimity of the feeling here agalusc'the. government is so apparent that the only hope, and that but a faint one, is that on personal grounds alone auy other than an opposition candidate may have a slight chance of winning. The number of,voters on the list in Rossland riding, which includes part of Boundary Creek district, will be 1,800, the largest number in any , constituency of the province. A Strong Man in Nanaimo. llobert E. McKechnie will contest the city of Nanaimo in the interests of the opposition. He is looked upon as the strongest candidate that can be brought out. In Nanaimo it will be a straight fight of the Sew Vancouver Goal Company against the Dunsmuirs. The government candidate has not yet been named, but it i.s considered as likely that, tho government will require James McGregor to run .again. He was to have been appointed' inspector .of mines but the government is no vy afraid to weaken,their chances in Nanaimo by allowing any new man to make the race in that city. Training- Ships for Canadian Boys. . Sir Louis Davies has .announced that the Dominion government's fishery cruisers, have beeu armed with gatling guns. They will serve as a deterrent of lawlessness. Answering further questions, the minister said it had been decided to establish a training ship for youths, who would be given a course in seamanship and train for service upon the fishery and revenue cutters of Canada. Sir Louis outlined his scheme for the establishment of the naval militia on the seaboard. Jle said that this having been started, no appointment to the government cruisers will be made except from those who have availed themselves of this naval training. Booming Martin as a Leader. The Province of Vancouver is eudea-v- ingto induce .Joseph .Martin to enter provincial politics and lead the opposition party. Tlie present opposition is too conservative for the Province clique, and therefore it says that nothing would be gained by the return of the opposition party to power under the present leadership, Since the. Bostock henchmen were prevented from introducing' federal politics into the provincial campaign nothing has pleased them. No Help Coming from Ottawa. At a caucus of the Liberal members, held on Thursday morning, it was decided to take no steps towards assisting the construction of a railway to the Yukon. This is no doubt the effect, of premier Turner's heroics in declaring that if the Dominion government could not see its way clear to undertake the building of the road, that the provincial government would see that it was built. Admiral' Dewey's, Share for the : Few. Hours, Work Is Over $9000. The prize money due Dewey on account of Manila, will amount to $0000. b'nloss the numerical importance of the fleet of admiral Monte jo has been overestimated and its losses overstated, the oflicers and men of the Asiatic squadron will be entitled to share among thera something like $187,000 bounty money. Section -10.-5 of the revised statutes of the United States provides: \"A bounty shall be paid by the United States for eacli person on board of any ship or vessel of war belonging to an enemy at the commencement of an engagement which is sunk or otherwise de- troyed in such engagement by any ship or vessel belonging to the United States, or what may be necessary to destroy in consequence of injuries sustained in action, of $100 if the enemy's vessel was of 'inferior force, and $200 if equal or superior force, to be divided amongst tlje officers and crew in the same manner as prize money; aud when tlie actual number of men on board any sucli vessel cannot be satisfactorily ascertained, it shall bo estimated according to the complement allowed to vessels of its class in the navy of the United States, and there shall,be paid as bounty to tlie captain i'or any vessel captured from an enemy, which they are instructed to destroy, 6'r which i.s immediately destroyed for the public interest, but not in consequence of injuries received in action, $50 i'or every person who shall be on board at the time of such capture.'\" According to reports from Manila, the Spanish fleet destroyed by the American consisted of 10 or II. cruisers, gunboats and torpedo boats, with crews amounting to 1872 men.' At $100 for each man of the Spanish naval force, the amount to be divided among the American sailors will be $IS7,200. The vessels of the United States were, if anything, undermanned. The numbers will be under rather than over IK72. .' Th.e $1-.7.?nn will be distributed to the lleet under section lO-'.I of the revised statutes relating to prize money. -Admiral Dewey will get one-twentieth of the wJiole amount of bounty awarded to his command. That will give him $0300. If he has a fleet captain, or what passes for one, the hitter will have.a share of something like .$1800. ..:.'. There will be left to be. distributed to the vessels of the fleet, according to their payrolls, about $175,000. This will go to the ships and in about the following shares': Olympia, $-15,000; Baltimore, $10,- 000: Boston, $25,000: Raleigh, $22,000: Con- cord, $20,000: Petrel, $ 12,000: McCul 1 och, $0000. To the commander of each vessel will go one-tenth of the amount assigned to that vessel. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD to be Rock Attempt to Tax Rossland Mining'Stock.

James McPhee had a communication of-' fering to supply ti ''Dodge\" rock crusher, f.o.b tit Toronto or London, for $350, antl and ti steam road roller at the same points for $000. The communication was referred to the public works committee. By-law No. 31, a by-law to amend the Special Rate By-law No. 25, I80S, was read a first and second time. It was then considered in committee.-reported and read a third time. The amending by-law is to make the meaning of the present by-law- clear. Alderman Hillyer, pursuant to notice, introduced four by-laws, which were read a first and second time. TJie first by-law is known as the Waterworks Extension By-law, No. 32, by which it is proposed to borrow $10,000 for the purpose of extending tJie waterworks system. The second is By-law No. 33, the object of which is to raise $5000 for the purpose of, acquiring lands and laying the same out for the purposes of a cemetery. The third is By-law No. 31, the object of which is to raise $10,000 for the purpose of-.purchasing the plant and franchise of tlie Nelson Electric Light Company. The fourth is By-law No. 35. the object of which is to raise $10,000 for the purpose of extending the sewerage system. 'Alderman Whalley was givuited leave of absence for one month.

Rretnier Turner has presented a return to the legislature which shows thttt he directed seven communications to the different members of ithe federal government, upon the subject of tlie Yukon rail- . . Richard McBride to Oppose Sword. Richard McBride, of New Westminster, will be the government candidate in the riding of Dewdney, in opposition to Colin B. Sword. Richard McBride is the candidate whom Aulay Morrison defeated in the federal elections in June, 1800... That he willbe defeated in the approaching contest with Mr. Sword goes without saying. Miners Strike in tlie Le Roi. The greed of the owners of the Le Roi mine brought a miners' strike about this week. TJiey sottgJit to make the miners work ten hours a day, instead of eight, I'or $3.50 per day, and iu consequence 30 of the men quit work. As the mine i.s changing hands it is likely that the new owners will have.to settle the.difliculty. The Government Struck ri Snag. Tlie government supporters of Laduer called a meeting ol the electors of that section last week for the purpose of securing an endorsement of the Yukon rail way policy. Instead of endorsing the bill the thee ting condemned it and. the government wliich framed it by ti vote of five to one. Prorogation Expected on Wednesday. It is expected thttt the legislature will be prorogued by Wednesday. The redistribution bill was finally passed on Thursday, and the $5,000,000 loan bill has been reported from .committee. There will therefore remain little besides the supplementary estimates to be attended to. D'Alton McCarthy Dead.

The.-Wilson Brothers last week made a very promising strike on the Last Chance claim on Toad mountain, when they uncovered four feet of yellow copper. The last Chance was acquired by the Wilsons last summer, and considerable work has been done on the property. An attempt: wtis first made to open tbuclaim by means of tt tunnel, but owing t.o a twist in the ledge the tunnel did not tap it, and work upon the tunnel, was discontinued after running 00 feet. A prospecting shaft was then started and-at a depth of 20 feet the four foot showing of ore was encountered.

'Ojjtibxxxx^ MAV 11. 1-SJS Tin-: debate upon the Railway Aid Bill, which premier Turner is now endeavoring to force through the legislature, will no doubt be the most important of tho present .session. The bill contains the legislation which was hinted at in the speech from the throne, but so unpopular is the government's railway policy with its own followers that it took the members of ,lhe cabinet eleven weeks to screw their courage up to the point of committing their railway bill to the house. The object of the bill is to authorize premier Turner and his colleagues to pledge the credit of the province to the extent of $:\"-,00(-.UOO, and the policy of the government is to distribute this sum of money to die promoters of several sections of railway in different portions of the province, which when constructed wouid be operated and virtually owned by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. It would be strange if such a policy were not condemned by the independent members of the government party, and it is not to be wondered at that \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD tliey hesitate in according their support to a measure which as a whole is condemned in every constituency in the province. Ok tiii-: live sections of railway provided for in this bill, the first is the old project of a railway from i'enticton to Boundary creek. The length of this road is estimated at one hundred miles, and the government's policy i.s to aid its construction with $100,000 in cash. This sum of money will be paid to Messrs. Mackenzie and Mann for the building of a railway into the Boundary creek district, which when built will not be as advantageous to the Boundary Creek district as the Ivettle River railway would have been which was'opposed by the Turner government. So far as Boundary Creek is concerned, the government's policy when carried out will result in giving Boundary Creek district an inferior railway service at an additional cost of $'100,-00 to the people of the province. The government has made an attempt to justify this blunder upon the plea of patriotism, and the leading merchants of the cities of Victoria and Vancouver, who have promises of fat contracts from the Canadian railway promoters, have done till they could to assist the Turner government in thus deceiving the people of \"the coast. This action should teach the people of the southern mining sections of the province that they have no common interests with the merchants of either Arictoria or Vancouver. These 'merchants have one set of principles for themselves and an entirely different':set for the people of the rest of the province. In their eyes it is a crime for the people of lvootenay and Vale to have tiny commercial dealings with the people of the l'nited States. Does any resident of the interior imagine that they would submit to any such application of patriotic legislation upon the business of their own cities? Does any one look to see the government close the I)unsmtiir colleries bo- cause their chief market i.s San Francisco':' Tm. second'proposition in this railway policy--is to grant Messrs. Mackenzie 6c Mann the sum of $.'!20,0(J() for the purpose of connecting the above mentioned line of railway, into Boundary Cteek, with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company's system. Without this second section the $-100,000 railway from I'enticton to Boundary would be of little value, so the $A20,- 000 connection with the C. P. II. company's system at Robson becomes necessary. The distance from Robson to Boundary is estimated at .SO mill.-.-, -o that it appears that the policy of (he government will be to bonus, to the extent of $1000 per-mile, i the railway already built from Rob-'on to Trail. This will virtually amount to a free gift of a quarter of a million dollars to the Canadian Pacific railway, since it has acquired the Trail-B,obsbi_ road, or, it means that the promoters of the Robson connection are to receive more than the $1000 per mile, for such road tis (hey build, whicli appears upon the face of the bill. In any event it means that the government is prepared to spend $720,000 to secure railway facilities for Boundary Creek, after having done its utmost to prevent the people of Boundary Creek from securing- railway facilities which would not have cost-the province one cent, nor one acre of land, it will be interesting to learn I he defence of the government for the extraordinary policy which it has pursued iu railway matters with respect to the Boundary Creek district. Its policy will result in giving Boundary Creek one railway at a cost of $720,000, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD when 'had the. government not arrested railway development in the district, it wouid have had one railway wilh- out incurring any charge upon the province, with an excellent prospect for a competing line upon the same terms. Tin-; third proposition in the railway bill is an insult to the intelligence of the electors of the province. Jt is a mere political trick, by which the members of premier Turner's discredited cabinet seek to make the people of the Fraser River valley believe that they are going to receive a competing line of railway with the Canadian Pacific. The route for this railway is covered by the Victoria, Vancouver & hlastem Railway company's charter, which was some months ago acquired by Messrs. Mackenzie 6c Mann. The members of premier Turner's cabinet ask the people of the province to believe that Messrs. Mackenzie & Mann, in whose affairs the Canadian Pacific Railway Company takes such a dee]) interest, are going to build -100 miles of railway from the coast to Penticton'and Boundary, to compete with the Canadian Pacific Railway company. ' There is not one levelheaded business man on the coast who believes that any such line Will be built in its entirety, but colonel Baker, who never has been guilty of considering probabilities, has announced that the govern- already litis an agreement for the construction of the road. For 230 miles of this road the Turner government offers aid amounting to $020,000. While it need uot for one moment be considered that the whole of this vast sum will be earned by tiny company under the conditions of the bill now before the \"legislature, it is quite.probable that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, through its friends, Messrs. Mackenzie 6c Mann, will construct a branch line through Ohilliwack aud receive $-1000 per mile for the same. The building of this Chilliwhack branch is tin old project. The people of Chilliwhack were assured four years ago that it would be commenced at once and carried on both ways from Chilliwhack. It was offered as a bribe to the voters of Chilliwhack in, the last election by Hon. Theodore Davie,.and his less capable successor is now ready to offer the same people the same bait. Tiik fourth proposition in the bill is that $920,000 shall be granted in aid of the British Pacific railway from Butte Inlet to Quesnelle. The provision in aid of this railway is as distasteful to many of the government supporters as it i.s to the people of the province as a whole, but it represents the price which Robert Patterson Rithet places upon his continued support of the present government. During the last election, the fear that the government would grant this company a heavy cash subsidy, in addition to its enormous land grant, caused the defeat of Forbes (!. Vernon, then chief commissioner of lands and works, and when G. B. Martin was called to the cabinet, in the place of Vernon, he was obliged to give a public pledge that he would 'not be a party ,to granting any cash bonus whatever to tho promoters of the British Pacific railway. These circumstances indicate the temper of the people of tlie province upon question of the wisdom : of bouusing the Hritish Pacific railway, and it is quite within the memory of the electors, how premier Turner in l-SuO, when his hand was forced by the Rithet faction in the legislature, denounced the British Pacific as a, crazy scheme. It i.s therefore evident that tho feasibility or non-feasibility of the British Pacific railway scheme depends upon the amount of damage which II. P. Rithet can do to the Turner cabinet. When the cabinet does not fear Rithet his scheme is a crazy one, but when the cttbinet has need of Rithet's influence in the city of Victoria, his railway scheme is deserving of cash assistance to the extent ot $020,000. Js premier Turner modest in estimating his services to the province for four years as worth $020,000--that is to the iirovince? Tiik last proposition in the railway bill represents the heroics of the Turner cabinet in which is undertaken a work that the federal parliament considered too great for the Dominion of Canada to carry out, in view of the probable returns. Jt amounts to tt bonus of $1000 per mile for (00 miles of a narrow guage railway from Teslin lake to Glenora, or $],000,000 in aid of,a railway, the chief accomplishment of which will be the opening up of the public lands of the Dominion, in which the province of British Columbia, has no interest whatever. The beneficiaries under this arrangement are the same Messrs. Mackenzie 6c Mann, and in return for this $],(500,000 of public money they agree that the province shall receive four per cent of the gross earnings of that portion of the Vukon railway which is aided by the provincial government. The position taken by the government of premier Turner upon this iniquitous bill is that the members of the legislature must swallow the good with the bad.- If they consider that the Boundary Creek district should have a railway they cannot vote in favor of giving Boundary Creek such a railway involving $-100,000 without voting in favor of granting $1,(500.000 to t.he Yukon railway and $020,000 to the British Pacilic railway.- There is no attempt to deal with the several railway projects upon their merits. Advantage i.s taken of the needs of one section of the province for railway facilities to force the legislature into granting large cash bonuses (o the promoters of less deserving railway schemes. In short the bill represents the last resource of desperate men to fasten liabilities upon the people of the province, in the interests of a class of .-.peculators whom they have consistently favou-d since they have been in office. Tiik figures issued by the finance department of the federal government, with respect to the business done by the insurance companies during the .year, have a peculiar interest for those wdto favor the system of municipal' iiiMirance. During 1897 the gross amount of fire insurance policies carried in the Dominion .va** $-170,000,000 and the premiums received by the companies upon the same amounted to $f3,89(j,000. The accepted fire los.es of the companies during the same period amounted to $---,2-10,000, in addition to which there were unsettled claims amounting to $1-1(5,000 and resisted claims of $7(5,000. Added together the settled claims, the unsettled claims, and the resisted claims total $-,;\".01,000. against $;\">,89(5,000 which the companies received in premiums. These figures show that the insurance companies doing business in the Dominion collect about -10 per cent over and above the amount of the fire losses, which sum is absorbed in the cost of management, in drumming up risks and in dividend--. The past year was by no means tin exceptional year for the insurance companies, and the question which presents itself is this: [f upon the general insurance rates charged throughout the Dominion there is 40 per cent more collected from the insured than the fire losses amounted to, what is the excess over losses in places like Nelson where exorbitant rates aie charged? If upon the average rate charged throughout the Dominion, the companies carrying the insurance have a margin of 40 per cent over fire losses of till kinds, whether accepted or resisted, what saving would result to the property owners of Nelson iu the event of the corporation taking up the question of municipal insurance? This question is one which is deserving of more than passing notice from the city council, aud were the matter taken up, the mere fear that the corporation contemplated municipal insurance might cause the companies to reduce what at present are almost prohibitive insurance rates. ectric Company, Ltd.

Above the mill- site the waters of a little stream tire turned into a V-shaped flume, into which the newly cut lumber i.s dropped to be di__har#ed at the terminus at Chico. The Hume is of comparatively recent date. Twenty years ago, instead of the flume, a line of great wagons reached from the upper Sierras into Butte county's metropolis. About fifteen miles below the mill, within a hundred yards of the Little Summit, stood a one-and-a.-half-story structure known as \"liragg's Place.\" Mere i\lr. .Jamo.--J-i'tigg, late 'proprietor of the \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'White Fawn Bar\"' at\" Dutch Diggings, dispensed refreshments to the thirsty in a pleasing manner, antl his place being situated at the end of the first day's drive on the return trip of the wagons, it .seemed but common courtesy for the teamsters to spend the evening within his welcome doors when camping in that vicinity. The .June sun was slowly sinking behind Hog-Bade Ridge as Mr. Bragg sat on his portico carrying on a desultory conversation with ti person who squatted on the floor near him. This individual was of aspect hardly prepossessing, lie was an ludiau\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDprobably a Cherokee, liis. left eye was sightless, while the other had a gleam that might or might not have b'e< n evil, but which was not calculated to inspire confidence. The Indian's garb was of the coarsest, even for the mountains, and his general appearance seemed hardly to.justify the statement'made, of him\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD that he earned good wages as a hunter who supplied the mill hands .with meat.' A.s the sun sank from sight, Mr. Bragg rose to his feet. \"Them fellers,\" said he, jerking his thumb toward two men engaged at cards in the bar-room, \"most likely anticipates killiu' very inuchdeerin these parts afore another week. They is here for that purpose, Injun, and with the gnus they has they shore ought to succeed.\" . vc \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The Indian'leered.'at the tneu through the open door, and settled back with a grunt. The grunt meant that Injun resented the hunting of strangers in this vicinity as an infraction of his personal \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD rights. The jingle of bells came faintly from down the road. v - Mr. Bragg squinted one eye aud stroked his shaven chin. \"Lemtne see Injun, this be a Wednesday; Bill Dangler and Hi Sampson and that crowd had ought to be a-pulliu' in here this time of night from below.\" Mr. Bragg evidently knew whereof he spoke. Half an hour later, four great wagons, each drawn by sixteen horses and driven by the men Sir. Bragg had mentioned, came to a halt near his door. -,-,.' That night the glasses, clinked merrily in Bragg's Place. At the company's office in Chico the teamsters had received their monthly stipend, and many were the. jests as they \"squared their'counts\" with their host for the liquid 'refreshments he had furnished them since last pay-day. Mr. Bragg's two lodgers from the city suffered themselves to be introduced, when, with his instinctive politeness, that gentleman asked their pleasure in a whisper rather more audible than a conversational tone. In a very short space of time an era. of good-fellowship had been inaugurated.. Injun quietly slunk into the bar-room and dropped down in a remote corner. .Mis modesty was speedily rewarded.' Me was sei/.ed and hustled up to the bar. Mr. Bragg and his guests were far too liberal minded to eutertaiu auy prejudice of race. Mr. Arthur Robinson, sportsman, addressed Mr. Bill Dangler, mule puncher: ''Vou work for (he lumber company, I believe?\" \"No, we works for Jim Bragg; don't you see us turniti' iu earnin's to him?\" This burst of wit was followed by aloud laugh, aud the loud laugh by a longdrink. Mr. Hi Simpson set his glass upon the the bar, and said: \"Jim, I reckon if'you had a-known what kind of a cargo Bill has got in them bundles on his wagon, you might uot a-beeu so anxious i'or him to slap on his brake in front ot your place tonight.\" \"Bodies o'dead men?\" queried Bragg. \" Wttss than that.\" \"What then?\" '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD I) iiinyinite.\" Mr. Bragg opened his eyes wide, and puckered hi.s lips. \"Dy-na-mite?\" \"Vep: enough to blow this whole shebang to hell.\" \"Which ain't the wust part of it,\" interposed Mr. Bill Dangler. \"I has to go slow down Jack Babbit Bun with that cussed stuff, and if 1 wants to get to the- mill by tomorrow noon, has to pull out o'this camp by I o'clock in the niornin'.\" \"Why 'no can go faster?\" asked the Indian. Mr. Bill Dangler turned a, pitying smile on the Clieroki.-.. \" Why, Injun, if I lets my homes- trot down Jack Rabbit Run aud shake-! up that load o' hell-fire, it shure explodes: and Bill Dangler ain't ready to go ro them l_app.y.huntiif grounds o' yours, not just yet.\", ( li-leven o'clock found the centre of attraction in Bragg's Place, a spirited game of poker.
