"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/1.0188882/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

THERE SEEMS TO BE TROUBLE Brewing in Ros3land. For the pa=t three months there have heen, from time to time, reports that trouble Avas likely to break out in Rossland between the mine oavuoin and tho mine AA-orker*.. In fact it was rumored that one manager, Avith laurels avou in a fight in Australia, Avas aching to try conclusions Avith the miners' union. This man is an American, and is now in tho employ of a foreign company operating principally at Rossland. If one of the greatest industties of the province, one in Avhich so many people are dheelly interested, and on Avhich is based real estate values exceeding almost tho Avorthof tho mines, is to bo dominated by ono man, or one set of men, who haA'e no other interest in the country than to draw their salaries to do the bidding of aliens and non-residents, it is pretty near time that the government should step in and tell these gentry that the province is supreme. Smith Curtis of Rossland, in a letter to the Miner of that place, sounds the alarm. His letter is as follows; A Not.: op Wahninc. Kditor Miner : The critical Labor situation in the Slocan district and the uneasy feeling, moie apparent lately iu Rossland, are said to have been largely caused\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD and certainly aggraA-ated\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDby the miners' \" unions pre\*enting contract labor.

It is also asserted that mine OAvners in \" * secret sessions haATo conjoined to over- - throAv the eight-hour law or cut the standard A.age proportionately. As all political parties are in favor of the laAAr, its repeal is out of the question. To cut the present AA'ages means a strike; aud a strike means closing the mines controlled , by these mine OAvners unless they succeed in their intention to import and employ dago and other cheap labor. The alien labor law Avill not likely prevent them, as the OttflAA-a government makes no effort to enforce it. The higher the wages the better for the local community.\" Therefore, the community's interest will be avitli the strikers antl against the hand- / ful of mine owners and determinedly against the employment-of cheap labor, Avhethei- dago, .lap, or other. The community and s the strikers have the rvotes. What i- to prevent the local legislature, backed by an overAvhelmingly popular p vote, enacting that no under- gtound laborer shall be paid less than the standard Avage? With 'such an enactment, and the mine owner ic- maining obdurate and closing the mine, Avhat is to prevent the legislature saying: \"'We granted this claim*to you on the implied condition and trust that if profit-pacing oi'e were found you would exploit it, and so enrich and build up the community.

Sometimes, Avhen in desolation and despair, people are comforted by music. By it, the mind may, at least be momentarily diverted. The little lone mother knew songs Avhich Highlanders sing in their native heaths, and she sang them from sheer relief to her tense soul, there in that silent chamber, little dreaming she would be heard ; but some one listened, and once, after she had finished her song, Avhen passing out over the shadowy stair- ease into the sun, a voice arrested her. \"Vou sings?\" said the voice, addressing itself to her. \"A little.\" '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDI hear you. 1 live in house.

Yet while they feared him, they had a sort of dog-like love for him. Buller's advancement has been exceptionally rapid, but almost every step of rank he gained in face of the enemy, just as he won the Victoria Cro-*-- by a sciies of deeds of almost unique hetoism. Routine men grumbled that Wolseley should have sent him to the Eastern Soudan to command a brigade in sir Gerald Graham's fir*-t short expedition. Amply did Bullei vindicate the choice. Jt is not tio much to aver that, by lu-> cool, skilful handling ol hi-s brigade in the crisis of Lhc fight of Tamal, he averted a disaster that but for his conduct was inevitable, retrieved the all but dcspeiate situation, and buttressed the tottering fortunes of the Biitish arms. Again, latei on the Nile, it was he aaJio, Avith characteristic abruptness, snatched the dishevelled remnant of the column Avhicli he found at Gubat, out of the very jaAvs of imminent petil, and reconducted it, Avith a cool promptitude that Avas all his oavu, back into a region of conipitrntive safety.

Then tliere came a time Avhen the kilted figure failed to confront a sea of approving faces, and so few cared for her song that she omitted singing it altogether. Finally the fogs crept into her lungs and a ghostly gr.ive- yat d cough made her presence unwelcome to diA-e impresarios. In humble lodgings she languished alone, unsought and unrein embercd, until a Scottish Samaritan in the city, learning hei sad stoty, placed her in a pri- \ ate hospital, kept by one of her oavu sex, and there she died.

N-bton officer commanding regarding recruiting for the second contingent, which is to be dispatched shortly to South Africa. Up to date no word lias been received, and it. has been suggested that the militia department will draft the second contingent exclusively in tho Eastern provinces in order to expedite mobilization. Such a decision would give rise to keen disappointment in\" this district, where many of those who failed to secure vacancies on the first contingent are counting on accompanying the foreign service regiment now about to be formed. Lieutenant Beer is in command of the Nelson Rifle Company in the absence of captain Hodgins, and if it is decided to recruit men from Nelson, applications will be made to him. Mr. Beer has been in Winnipeg, but is expected home today. When the first contingent wns raised fully 100 men applied to enlist in the city, and it is believed tliat the majority of these are just as anxious as ever to participate in the lively events How transpiring in Soutli Africa. Over Nine Hundred Names on the List. City clerk Strachan has completed the revision of the voters' list, and the roll will be published at once. Copies will be available shortly at the city hall, and may be obtained by citizens on application. Residents who believe their names should be included may then appeal to FULL LINE OF the police magistrate to have the error rectified. The list of 1900 affords a gratifying proof of the city's growth. The list for the East ward contains the names of 5i.l voters, of which 101 are resident and 7*1 non-resident. The West ward is credited with \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDr-74 voters, of which 310 are residents and 5*> non-residents. The figures for 1.S0!) were: East ward 303, West ward 277. The total gain in 1809 was, therefore*, 23S voters, or over 3:*5 per cent. Old People Are Getting Cranky. A score of small boys congregated at the corner of Stanley and Baker streets last night and annoyed passers-by to such an extent by throwing snowballs that several complaints were made to the police. Constable Hardy visited the spot and delivered a lecture which effectually put a stop to the sport. 'Tis a pity tho boys cannot\" have a little old-fashioned fun without so much interference from people who. would have it that they never were young. \"Want the Duty Off Gas Oil.

The city oflicials have decided to enforce the bylaw relating to the removal of snow from sidewalks, particularly on Baker and other streets in the centre of the city. In event of property owners failing to remove snow or ice by 11 o'clock each morning, the chief of police is authorized by the bylaw to have the -work done and to collect* the liability1 thus incurred from the owners. .
