"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.

Answering another question, Mr. Wyndham said that the British artillery in South Africa was fully up to the continental standard. Mr. A. J.

Believing the Avar inevitable, how could thoy vote for an amendment that said the Avar Avas avoidable? Policy of that sort was said to unite the party, but iu the eyes of Europe it threw doubt upon the union of tho United Kingdom. \"We have suffered checks,\" said Mr. Chamberlain, \"and have made 'mistakes.

One of the lessons of the Avar is the enormous defensive power possessed by troops defending tlieir own country. Tho second point is that AA'hen avc propose a scheme to moot this emergency we shall do so, not as a party, but as a nation.

Tm_ above is an affidavit which was made by one of the men recently imported from Minnesota to work in the Slocan. If tho man who made the affidavit knoAA's Avhat lie is talking about, the men Avho brought him into British Columbia violated the alien labor law of the Dominion. If the law was violated iu his individual case, the pio- bability is that it was likewise violated the eases of the twenty- two other men Avho accompanied Taidift. The affidavit of TaidW is of use in so far as it furnishes \"the federal government with an opportunity for starting an enquiry into the matter of tho importation of aliens by the Payne mine. If an enquiry is made it will show that the federal government is sincere in in its assurance' to puni&h those Avho violate the laws of the Dominion. Jf no notice is taken of the matter, it -will convince the miners of Kootenay that the appointment of the recent commission AA'as nieic- ly a bin ft to pacify the wage earners of Kootenay, The attention' of commissioner Clute it. respectfully directed to the matter. Avho enacted it, they Avill not fool many people by the enactment of arbitration legislation which in the end shall have no legal effect. Tin. difference between the present city council and the one which preceded it Avas illustrated at last evening's session. Last year the members of the city council made a practice of meeting- and gravely discussing the 'leak in the city's receipts for electric lighting. They discussed the leak. They indulged in speculation as to where it Avas. They estimated its volume in dollars. They did everything, in short, but take any steps to stop the leak. The members of the present council have been.in office for less than a month, but they have located tho leak. They instructed the city clerk and the chief of the fire department to make a personal inspection of\" all premises where electric light is used. Their inspection has been completed, and the report of the inspectors is that the consumers of lectricity are using more than they are paying the corporation for. Making alloAyances for the prompt payment of rates, the inspectors report that the consumers of electric power use $400 Avorth of poAver each month, for which they pay the corporation nothing. This rather considerable sum AA'as lost to the corporation last year because the city council had no knowledge of the power Avhich it supplied to its customers. It -will be saved to the city now because the present council is made up of men who prefer to Avork rather than orate, and Avho believe in knoAving Avhere they aro at. A saving of \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD 100 a month is a rather good start foi' a uoav administiation within three Aveeks of its return to office. HEIN2E TO SUCCEED CLARK .

Helena, Montana, February <_..\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD With the growing conviction iu this state that dinted States senator Clark Avill be unseated as a result of the charges of bribery and Corruption preferred against him, political gossips are beginning lo \"speculate upon his successor. Montana is politically divided into the east and west sides by that portion of the Itocky mountain chain between Helena and Butte. And as senator Thomas ,tf. Cartel' is a resident of this city, many are inclined to- believe-that governor- Smith- would, should the occasion arise, appoint a west sider. In this ca^e, .1. II. Durston, editor of the Anaconda Staudaid, the personal organ of Marcus Daly, receives most prominent mention. Should Clark be ousted, it/is argued Durston, avIio had conducted the fight for Daly, should f-ccure the plum. The Standard has been most aggre.sf.ive in its attack:-) upon Clark and tho whole campaign against him has been conducted from its oflicc, as Daly, the spirit, behind the tin one, has been ill in New York, ami unable to give the matter any attention other than gencial directions. J. 11. Durston came to Montana from Syracu-'o, New York, whcie he was employed on the Standard, and after which the Anaconda paper takerf its name. He has made it one of the most popular papers in the northwest, and should he secure the prize it is conceded even by the enemies of ihe so-called Daly faction, that he has the necessary qualifications. The sueeoas of tho Standard has been most phenomenal. Twelve years ago Daly desiiedan organ for hi.s faction of the Democratic party, lie preferred to establish it in Butte, where the Anaconda company's mines are located, but \V. A. Clark, owner of tho Butte Miner, Avith its exclusive Associated Pi ess franchise, stood in the way. Consequently. Daly was compelled to go to Anaconda, a small village at that time and no mora capable of supporting a metropolitan daily than Ocono- mowoc, Wisconsin. To compete Avith the Miner, it was \"necessary to run a special newspaper train to Butte each morning, Avhich method of reaching the metropolis of Montana is still in A'ogue. A complete office force is still maintained in Butte and the matter is transmitted to Anaconda by means of a leased Avire. Despite these handicaps, its prestige in Butte and throughout the state is A'ery great. Aud for the upbuilding of.this paper Durston is given the entire management of Daly's political affairs, and is doubtless his choice for senator. So confident is Durston of being chosen as Clark's successor, he is uoav in Washington learning the \"ropes.\" But the Clark faction, Avhile not admitting that tlieir chieftain Avill lose his seat, maintain that if he doesenough influence can bobronght to bear upon governor Smith to pre vent theselcction of an Anaconda company man, for the governor has decided A'iews upon trusts and as the Anaconda company is accused of being one he would abstain from abetting what is said to be a branch of the Standard Oil Company, which is reputed to be the largest\" stock- Iiolder in the so-called copper trust.

Another lalgo lot expected Saturday. Call or phone, cd Dudley instead of Miss Butler. Krstwhile friendship on his part turned to bitter envy and hate, and the rejected suitor quietly promised himself revenge when the chance came. Of all this the Hon. Duncan knew nothing, and suspected less. He Aviis busy applying for and receiving a diplomatic uiuler-appointment in Paris, which Avould enable him to marry and thenceforth support his wife iu at least comparative luxury. And this is Avhere IIac.ley-B1.1_- toii's prayed-for opportunity presented itself. For, Avhile in Paris, secure in his present happiness and soon-to-be ..Avetlded bliss, the Hon. Duncan proceeded to indulge himself in a particularly foolish though brief flirtation Avith a handsome American Avoman. Some unkind people called her that ugly AA'ord '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDadventures?,\" though others merely said that shcAvas \"sporty.\" And the flirtation Avas a desperate one. It ended'-as suddenly as it began, howeArer, for the lady's ''sportiness\" AA'as a little too much for eA'en sporty Duncan, avIis isoon beat a rapid and not too dignified retreat from gay Paris, still companioned by his faithful Damon, and the \"incident\" was by him considered as closed. To exultant Had ley-Ben ton \"incidents\" were just beginning, however, and within four hours after his return to London, Miss Butler1 and Miss Butler's father knew all about the Paris-adventuress \"incident.\" .Hadlcy-Benton had \"deemed it his duty\" to impart full details, and Miss Butler's father had tljanked him for so doing. A brief intei'A'ieAv .followed ; some inconsequent and rather pitiful excuses Avere made by Dudley, but. Avhat excuse avails in such cases, when offered to a faithful' and single- minded girl? Mr. Duncan Dudley's ring Avas returned, a few cold, stinging words were spoken to him by his'cx-fiancce, an insult or two offered by her father, and then the Hon. Duncan Avas shown ceremoniously to the \"door. Added to all of Avhich, ho next day had the happi- nc-s of heaiidg that his ex-chum and present undoor, Hadley-Benton, had again proposed to Miss Butler \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthis time successfully. Tho, marriage, said the society, papers, Avould take place wifchin thirty days. ' From this time commences the downfall of the Hon. Duncan Dudley. For even a third son can find ways and means wherewith to goto the \"demmlion bow-AvoAvs,\" and the thorough \Telocity of Dudley's down-hill pace is eA'en yet spoken of as an example of what a man can do in that line, even in London, He was ab the bottom of degradation's hill, an outcast and disowned by his family, Avhen an old uncle, from Avhom-ho had expected to inherit, sent for him and offered him his choice between a pistol and tmvel- ing cxpcn_.es to Australia.

Two days later he purchased instead, under the name of John Simpson, a ticket for Panama. And Avith that purchase ends the career of the Hon. Duncan Dudley, so far as Great Britain is concerned; end, also, our interest in Miss Aileen Butler, Avho soon afterward became the unhappy and unloving Avife of Mr. liichard Had ley-Ben ton\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDAvith Avhich latter personage Ave have not yet finished. Regarding Mr. John Simpson, second-class passenger from Liverpool on tho British South American and Panama S. S. liner Paloma, it Avould be an impossible feat to follow his fortunes and misfortunes through the next ten years. He had logged on the Amazon, dug for gold in theGuianas, gambled unsuccessfully in Panama, and at last, in desperation, had drifted to0 the Mexican border. There he had the fortune to saAre the life of a Mexican girl, the only daughter of a ranchero, avIio OAvned ranehos and a mine or two in the western part of Mexica, just then in process of de- A-elopment by various English and American syndicates. This girl, Anita by name, was rather \"pretty; though dark and chubby, as Mexican girls of ten are. But she AA'as sAveet, innocent, and A'ery faithful, and she let Simpson see that she cared for him, and Avould marry him if he so desired. Strange to say, he did desire; his life had been such that the pure | and unselfish love or even a Mexican girl meaut much to him, aud he swore that he Avould reform, once married to Anita. Wherefore he married Anita, sobered up in a manner that astounded even himself, refused to accept help from his somewhat grumpy father-in -law, and found a job as assistant assayer in the Mexican mining-town of-Pal- ma Sola, in the Arery centre of the gold and silver mining district AA'hich English and \"-American capital avivs. in process of exploiting. '' In the course of time Simpson's employer died, and Simpson continued the assay-office on his own account, for he had learned the business during his five years' apprenticeship, 'and'.-chemical knoAV- ledge gained by him Avhile at Oxford also stood him in good-stead. Besides which he had learned a great deal about mines and mining, and knew what AA'as ore and Avhat was not. Also, in addition to his aesay-office, he now had a small ore- buying'agency and Avas, in fact, making money hand OA'er list. ^ -Just about this time rumors gofc afloat in Palma Sola that some pro-A moterh had at last boomed the \"Es-1 poran-Ki\" gold prospect nearby on . the Londonniarket; that one of the biggest mine-broking concerns there had been favorably impressed, in fact, that the head of the concern, a very rich man and member of parliament, AA'as himself on the A\-ay to make a personal investigation .lid over the telephone that one would never presume to s*iy to a man's face - and, if they are of an unpleasant kind, your friend has 110 effective way of getting angry tit you. Moreover, in a worid which has forgotten that there are such things as piivato affairs, a tele phone conversation i.s fairly secret, \"The danger of putting pen to paper has long since been demonstrated\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDletters having a tiick of making their appearance at very unionised for and unpropitinu__ times. They also make the best sort oi'evi- dence in the jury room. The same is true in an equal dcgice of telegrams. But the long distance telephone seldom Icha-cs any tracks. It i.s ti ue that a curious Ventral* may overhear a thing or two or that the ubiquitous .eavesdropper may ele- A'ate the receiver at a -favorable moment, but even these dangers amount to little. If it becomes necessary it is easy to proA'e that that they did not hear aright; and for that matter, if Avorse comes to Avorse, it is not a difficult matter to repudiate any thoughtless statement you yourself may haA'e made OA'er the Avire. The cle\*erest hand- Avriting expert in the Avorld could not make out a living case against you. \"There are other reasons Avhy business men and politicians haA'e found a steadfast friend iu the longdistance telephone. Another of its great advantages OA'er a personal intervieAA', for example, is the fact that you can cut it off any time you desire. This is a somewhat difficult matter to arrange, it is generally admitted, if you stand face to face Avith your man. It is impossible abruptly to pick up your hat and bolt as soon as you see that things are not going your Avay; but if you are at the other end of the AA'ire, all that is necessary is to quietly hang up the receiver and go your way. Accidents-of this sort are so common on the telephone, business men say, that this can be done Avithout causing the slightest comment, and AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN PLANS MEALS CENTB ttOO-V-S MGJITKI) BY ELKCTI.TCITY AND IIKATKl) nV'STKAM 2.1 CUNTS'TO ?1 ' 321 to 331 Baker Street, Nelson. pEirTHOTEL BAKER STItKET.
