"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/1.0188889/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

Prince' Ching has protested to the court against tlio appointment, said to be contemplated, of viceroy Chang Chin Tung as a plenipotentiary in the place of Li Hung Chang.

They had an equal start, as the Act incorporating them gave them equal borrowing powers. They have been in business close on to four years, and comparisons as to how they have succeeded may be interesting to those who have criticised the methods adopted in the respective towns of conducting the civic business. Rossland was made a wide-open town at the start. The number of liquor licenses was not limited and public gambling was permitted. Nelsou limited the number of liquor licenses.and prohibited public gambling. Rossland did not acquire any of the public utilities until its third year, when it purchased the water-works at a cost of $40,000. Nelson purchased the existing system of water-works before it had been in business a month, the mayor and three of the aldermen giving their-personal note for the purchase price, as the city had neither money, nor' credit, and before two years elapsed purchased and paid for the electric light .works. Both towns had to incur large expenditures to make passable streets aud* lay sidewalks.- Nelsou had an advantage in building sewers, because it had an outlet within easy reach.

At the last session of the legislature the member for Nel.-ion riding urged tho provincial government to make provision for a high school at Nelson; but the trouble was that liossland was asking for an appropriation for the same object. However, the minister of education promised that the school would be opened at Nelson just as soon as the required number of pupils passed the entrance examinations. . The number passed and the minister was promptlyi reminded of his promise. A le.ter from the member for Nelson brought the following in reply: Education Okpicr, Victoria, .Tanuary 8, 1901.

Work is still proceeding briskly on the passenger depot and the interior is rapidly being put in shape for occupation. Downstairs the electric chandeliers and hanging lights are in place, and the fittings for the other conveniences are being attended to. The seats for the waiting rooms are..delivered on the ground and it lodk's as though this part of the building*.* would be complete within a week.or two. Upstairs the completion of. the offices is being rushed ahead iu order that the local officials may occupy their offices as earlsr as possible, ft is probable that tha dispatcher*,' fices will be the first occupied.. of- On the Water Trout. Within the next lew weeks two craft, each the best on inland waters in its particular class, will be completed in the Nelson harbor. The first of these is the uewC.'P. R, tug now almost ready for launching at the shipyard. The tug is built to tow the maximum amount of freight at the best rate of speed compatible with economy, and lake men are awaiting her trial trip with very considerable interest. She will be the largest and most powerful tug on these waters, and from her lines should be swift aud sea worthy. The date of launching is not fixed as yet. The second craft under way is captain .7. W. Troup's .launch whicli is being set up at Hale's boa'thouse. The hull and framework for the canopy is complete as far as the first coat of paint, while the engines are being set up on the sec- J ond story. ,The motive power will be furnished by a triple expansion engine beautifully put together and finished, while the boiler is of the tubular pattern. Engine and boiler seem to be large enough to run a craft twice the size of the launch in which they are to be employed, and it is safe to predict that captain Troup will have'the nattiest craft on the water next summer. The work is not being pushed ahead rapidly, as it is not proposed toj.ise the .eraft 'until after high water, which is still several months ahead. Hale's gasoline launch is in regular commission and is being used iu tho minor carrying traffic on the west arm of the lake. This\" craft was more or less an experiment ou the lake, but has proved to lie useful for the purpose for which she was designed. George\" Hale has abandoned the plan\" of building another big launch, but will convert a sailing craft by equipping it with a gasoline motor. The level of the lake is now three feet above the normal mark for the present season. The - ice which formed almost across the lake vanished yesterday. A PEACE COMMITTEE SAID To Have Been Murdered. , JaONrioN, January 14, 4:30 a. iu.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD The brief report-ol- the fate of the three in embers' of the peace com-' mjttee whojvere sent to see^geuejraK DeAvot. excites the' deepesV indigua-' tion on all sides. Ono or two papers express a hope that lord Kitchener has been\" misled by falsified reports, but it is generally felt that he would not have reported the matter to the War oflice without undoubted evidence. Tlio Daily Mail heads the report with the word \"Murder,\" and declaims against any further attempt to coax the enemy into submission. \"Dewet has placed himself outside the pale of humanity,\" says the Daily Mail, \"and not proclamations, but large reinforcements must be our watchword.\" The Morning vPost says: \"This marks the point where the guerrilla phase ends and the bandit .phase-begins.\" THE FIRE AT MOYIE WAS ONE THAT SONS CAUSED MANY PBH. TO BISK THEIR Lives and Lose Their Property Escaping* From the Burning Building. in All papers appeal strongly to the government to hurry forward reinforcements, since it is evident the Boer leaders have now grown desperate and conciliation is quite useless. The Pretoria correspondent of the D.iily Mail announces the return to Pretoria of Mr. Pretorius, a former president of the late aSouth African Republic, from a futile endeavor to persuade the Boer leaders to surrender. Details of the attacks upon the Kalfontein and Zurfontein stations show tha't there were only small garrisons of about 120 men at each station. Tho British had excellent trenches, which enabled them to withstand the attacks until the Boers, having ascertained that reinforcements were coining to the garrison's aid, retired. At Znrfon- tein a party of Boers in khaki succeeded in capturing a British patrol af eight men, whom they subsequently liberated. The railway and telegraph lines will be speedily restored. No further news has been received regarding the invasion of Cape Colony.

KITCHENER IS A CENERAL Not Easily Flustered. New .York, January'13.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIn a dispatch dated London, 0. a, m.,. Isaac N. Ford, correspondent of fiha New York Tribune, cables the following regarding the situation in .South Africa: The meager dispatches, received from South Africa show that the iaindley affair was confined to lord Roberts' body guard, and tend to strengthen the conclusion that the current feeling of alarm-is not well founded.'.The.strategy of the guerrillas is not followed easily, but it lias apparently, failed in two points. Tlie main lines of British communication have not been broken by the series of systematic and well- ulauned .night attacks, and the in vasion of Cape Colony has not been followed by ft rebellion- of. tlie Cape Dutch, whose sympathies .are now divided between 'the .Boers and their own-pockets. General Kitchener, by the establishing .of laagers where the-un-. armed Boers can be adequately protected and by concentrating the British forces on the lines of communication after clearing the intervening spaces of horses and cattle, food stuffs and arms, has forced the commandos, to alter their tactics and take the offensive against fortified posts in the'Transvaal. He 13 also releasing his mounted force for continuous service against Dewet, Delarey and Botha. He has not allowed his geueral plan of\" campaign to be thrown into disorder by the small party of raiders moving southward into the disaffected districts of Clan William and Piquet- _be_g,.and_while_the.-danger\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD of\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD insurrection is not yet averted, the loyalists of Cape Colony seem fully prepared to defend themselves against insignificant forces. General Kitchener deserves credit for his courage in adhering tenaciously to his own scheme of operations and in allowing the districts in the south to take care of themselves, .just as lord Roberts in advancing to Pretoria, was indifferent to what was going on in his eastern flank. Military men assert that the lines of communication have been shortened aud that many posts have been supplied with provisions for six months and released from dependence upon the railway and convoys. Koomatpoort, for example, is no longer connected with posts further west, such as Machadodorp and Belfast, but is provisioned for a loug period and isolated. Other important posts are garrisoned in a similar way, and the lines of communication are compactly arrauged. The Thaw Pleases Them. The unexpected thaw has brought dismay into the hearts of curlers and'hockey players, but the men who operate railroads out of Nelson hailed the milder weather with a feeling of safisfaction. Tho heavy snowfall had begun to be troublesome both in the yard and out on the line. . A Hanger was sent over the road to Robson on Saturday and did much toward relieving the situation, but a few inches more snow would, have- put the Hanger out of business and rendered tlie use of a plow necessary. In the yard considerable trouble was caused by deep snow. When the new tracks are all hud ifc will be a comparatively easy matter to clear away: snow by beginning-? at one track-and plowing the snow to the next and so on until the last siding is reached.- There is the dangeiy however, that a continued thaw will bring with it the slides which interfere so seriously with traffic, but this is not looked for at the present time. TO THE ELECTORS OP H ELSON: At tho request of a number of electors, I havo decided to offer myiolf as a candidate for mayor at the coming civic eloctious. I havo served as alderman two years of tho four during which the eity has been conducting; its own affairs, and my rocord whilo in the council on thu questions that are now the moat important, issuos before the people of tho city Is such as will bear inspection. 1 believe that the city has valuable assets in tho water and electric light systems, and while in the council I did everything possible to safeguard those asset**; and if elected mayor no act or volo of mine will be in favor of allowing any outnido corporate interest, to become a competitor with tho city in the business of electric lighting, a biihiness in which Iho eity has already invested S70,oon.

I see no reason to change my views on that, question now.

London, .Tanuary 13.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIsaac N. Ford in his letter to the New York Tribune says : The single week of Avintry Aveather after a mild and debilitating season is followed today by some of the densest and blackest fogs ever known in London. From Westminster bridge there are no turnesque stones of grey, gold or pink, but only the blackness of night, and in,the streets there is neither color nor poetry in tlie fog, and naught but stern, dismal prose. All the street- lamps are lighted. Wagoners lead their horses, hansoms and omnibuses craAvl foot by foot, and men are seen as trees walking. This fog, Avhich is as dense indoors as without and as depressing as a wet blanket-Avrapped tightly over the head, symbolizes English ignorance pf what is going on in Darkest Africa. After fifteen months of arduous and wearisome campaigning so complete is this bewilderment that men have lost their courage and nerve and are Avell nigh persuaded that an army of over 200,000 veterans in complete possession of the tAvo Dutch states has been held up by scattered bands of raiders, and that Cape Town is protected only by the guns of the fleet from capture by Hertzog with 700 followers and a pair of maxims. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD There is no clearness of vision or sense of proportion or sobriety of-* judgment. The situation iu South Africa is a mystery of great darkness, aud the outcries of timorous journals for the dispatch of 30,000 reinforcements and the warnings of pro-Boer sympathizers that peace must be made .while there is time, are like the excited shrieks of the Ayagoneis and cab- drivers in today's fog. The public is prone to overestimate the dangers of the Hfcii- ation in Cape Colony, where Hertzog and his desperadoes in reality are pushing south at a safe distance from the British line with something., of the- swaggering air of Falstaff and his-followers. While they are stale, they have not lost their grit,'but are determined that tho Avar shall end'in the complete subjugation \"of the Boers. The weary, homesick soldiers in the Transvaal have repulsed every attack Avith their.old time vigilance and valor and,thp Panglish people, depressed as they-may be at times, have the same inflexible temper. The white man's burden is not too heaA*y to be borne. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDTlfeV' Iti., IB jl __E]__E?iS &0 C/O. _sr__!XaSO_*?.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD..,\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD It Counts in Results The particular housewife wants the best materials for her cooking; Nice Sweet Butter Good Fresh Eggs are our specialties.
