"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/1.0189281/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

The galleries of the house of parliament wero, crowded. Upou the assembling of the house, premier Prior rose and made a statement which he thought of great importance to the province. After relating the circumstance under which he was asked by Dunsmuir to join the government and later to form a cabinet himself. The premier alluded next to the investigation and the interest ho took in the matter. After following it he found it was impossible for the government to continue with such a divergence of opinion. In a government there must be a difference of opinion. But in this'case he saw that thero was not the confidence which should exist among some members of the government. In view of this he reluctantly called for the resignations of two of his ministers. When ministers saw that it was in the public interests it was not a question of their personal feeling, but he must take the bull by the horns. Hon. W. W. B. Mclnnes had also sent in his resignation. It had not been accepted, and.he had asked the provincial secretary to continue longer. He had acquainted the lieutenant-governor -with the situation and had asked if he would grant him dissolution. His honor had granted him this, but asked that he should endeavor to have supply granted before this course was taken. He thought that it was wise to have, this granted. Joseph Martin asked for a inoro definite statement. He [wanted to know if the house passed a vote of want of confidence would he be granted an appeal to the country. Premier Prior said that he expected an appeal to the country under any circumstances. Mr. Martin asked if he had the promise of the governor to that effect. Premior Prior said that if- the house wanted to defeat him thoy might do so. He would go to the .lieutenant-governor \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand ask o dissolution. - * ~\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD* . He appealed to the house to grant necessary supply and perhaps pass a few necessary bills, such as the Coal Mines Amendment Act. Mr. Mclnnes said that his resignation as handed in was final. He had good reasons for doing so which he did not propose to place before the house now. . He was prepared to assist in passing the necessary supply.

Had he seen a chance of carrying on the affairs of the country by the government in a dignified manner he. would have remained with it. The events of the past few days showed that this was not to be accomplished, and he considered it his duty to resign. Mr. Eberts said he did not stand in a very enviable position. He had been asked by his leader to resign, which he had done. He could not have' resigned before because his reputation was at stake. ==Ebertsobjected to=tbe^premier=having\" taken the course he did. Wells said that he took tho position ho was called on to. take in a philosophical manner, although it came as a surprise, which seemed to be sliared by the general publio.

Victoria, 3:30 p,m., May 30.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD[Special to The Tribune. ] The political situation is rather complicated. On Wednesday a motion to adjourn, made by the.premier, was defeated by 15 to 17. McBride, the leader of the opposition, then made a motion to adjourn, believing he had control of the house, and his motion was defeated by 14 to 18. The premier for the. second time moved the adjournment, and the; motion was carried 15 to 16. Before adT journment on Wednesday McBride read from the Victoria Times a charge.that the premier, while acting as chief corn-mis-, sioner of lands and works in November, 1902, had taken advantage of his position to secure for a limited liability company in which he is the controlling owner, an order for wire rope for the Chimney creek bridge in Cariboo. On Thursday the house met as usual, and a motion made by the premier to go into committee of supply (in other words to consider the estimates for the year 1903-04) was defeated by 16 to 19. The premier left the house to inform the governor of the action of the houso, and on his arrival was informed that Smith Curtis, the member from Rossland, had written him that morning that he (Curtis) would bring charges against the premier ior malf easanco in office in respect of the the Chimney creek bridge matter. The premier could only say that he would return to the house and ask for the appointment of a committee of investigation. While the premier was absent the member for Rossland had introduced resolutions reciting his charges against the premier and asking for the appointment of a committee. The resolution passed the house before the premier's return, but three of the members named to act on the committee refused to act. On the premier's return, and on being informed of what had taken place, he asked that members would serve on the committee, as he wished the charges to be fully investigated. The committee was appointed and that night heard the evidence. On Friday the committee .reported the facts and the house in order\" to give tho premier time to lay the facts and the evi- denco before the governor, the house on mation'.'of.\" the.'..premie*' t.pfl*j/)tiJ:iiQfi-\"til!.-\" Monday at 2 o'clocN. Many rumors were afloat last night as to what the outcome would be. It is very generally believed that opinion is being manipulated by lawyer Duff, of the firm of Bodwell & Duff so as to prevent an election on party lines. McBride in the house yesterday in one of his several speeches said the opposition had the confidence of the country. The Duff deal is that McBride will be called on to form a government and that he will take in Tatlow of Vancouver and Green of Kaslo as representatives of the Conservative party and Oliver of Delta and Patterson of North Victoria as representatives of the Liberal party. That on being sworn in adjournment will be had so as to enable the new ministers to secure. the approval of their constituents. The most likely thing to happen is that the governor will ask the premier for his resignation on the ground that he has lost the confidence of the house and then ask him to recommend someone else to form a government. That someone else will not be McBride, Mc- l_L_tis1or.anyone,m_;he,present-Opposition._ A. S. Farwell who has been here for six weeks left for Nelson last night. Curtis made against ex-premier Dunsmuir. After relating that he had been appointed a royal commissioner to enquire into the charges, he says:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD .;\"The first and main charge is, in substance, that Mr. Dunsmuir, while premier, agreed, in order to enhance the value of his railway .and other personal interests oh Vancouucr island, to give the Canadian Northern Railway company an excessive provincial subsidy iii money and land for the purpose of assisting; them to extend their eastern railway system through the province to the waters of Bute inlet, and ultimately to the city of Victoria.\" Mr. Dunsinuir then gave evidence that the land was practically worth nothing, not even ten cents per acre. Mr. Justice Walkem goes on to say: \"This evidence, not having been contradicted in any respect, the* land grant proposed to be given as part of the subsidy to the company was a valueless asset of the province. The im- plementol part of the subsidy, namely the cash bonus, was not impeached, consequently the allegation that' the subsidy as a whole was excessive has not been proved. This disposes of'the charges of corruption made against Mr. Dunsmuir, and also the charge made against his colleagues as being alleged parties to that corruption. \"With respect to the next charge, that the government improperly employed Mr. Greenshields as its legal advisor in the matter of the railway negotiations with the company, notwithstanding the fact, wtiich they were aware of, that he was at the time acting in that capacity for the company, I need only to say that the weight of evidence is against it.\" EAST KOOTENAY IRON NONES. DUNSMUIR EXH0N0RATED, m Justice Walkem last Saturday brought his report on tho charges of Smith C. Hungerford Pollen has written an exhaustive article upon the Bull river iron mines. He says: It is a matter, not merely of individual, but'of national importance whether pig iron or steel can be profitably produced in British Columbia. There must always be a beginning. The value of a commodity must be governed in the end by the cost of its production. The position of Bull river is a. striking one when the estimated'costs of production are compared with that ofjiteel_pro-_ fl'iced-ia tho United Sta&'s^.^ebuiltung- of the Kootenay Central railway, which seems now a certainty, will give special advantages in the making of a great center for the reduction and refining of metals. Deposits of various kinds, such as manganese, that have hitherto been considered of no commercial value whatever, seem destined to become great assets to the wealth of the country. The property in question is known as the Bull River'Iron-. Mines arid is-situated on Fenwick mountain, 18 miles from Fort Steele. The distance to existing railway points are, to Jaffray and Wardner, oh the C.P.R., nine and five miles respectively; Elko, on the Great Northern railway, 20' miles. Good wagon roads connect with these places at present, but the route of the proposed Kootenay Central railway passes immediately below the claims at the foot of Fen- wick mountain and will 'be within convenient reach of a tramway. The elevation of the claims is 6,000 feet above sea level and 2,500 above Bull river, which encircles two sides of Fenwick mountain. ' -The^vertical-distance^measured^from-the^ summit to the lowest workings is 500 feet and to the lowest outcrop it is 900 feet. The analysis from samples taken from 11 claims gives au average of 69.99 per cent metallic iron. The cost of extraction of ore is placed at $1 per ton. The falls on Bull river, two and one-half miles from the claims, afford a magnificent opportun ity for power. The river Jdrops 200 feet within a distance of\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDone mile and has a flow of 6,000 inches. The reduction of the ore on the spot is taken up by the writer and by comparing all the costs connected with the iron smelting industry at Pittsburg with what they would be here, he shows that the cost of making one ton of pig, iron at the former place is $12.94, while at Bull river it would cost only \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD11.85, or $1.09 less per ton. Another table, comparing freight rates to the Pacific coast, shows ihat the Bull river product* would have an advantage of $5.90 s?per ton in this respect, which taken with '\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe gain of $1.09 at the smelter, would make a total gain, of $6.99 per ton on pig iron. ,-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD . \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD--\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD' . .. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ,-.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD_/\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD MINERAL SAMPLES WANTED. Angus K. Stuart was in Nelson this week arranging for.a. mineral exhibit to advertise the wealth of the West Koot- enay'district at the St Louis World's Fair which will open in May next year. Mr. Stuart has had much experience in the work of exhibition, and desires the assistance of all mining men and mine owners so that a thoroughly representative exhibit can be sent. , What is really wanted is, that in addition to' small specimens properly tabbed from all the mining claims of the division that can be got, a large exhibit from each of the well developed mines be sent in and that a, sufficient quantity of the char- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD acteristic ore of the various camps be got together so as to give a general idea of the wealth that is here. The Dominion government will not pay for the collection of the samples but will pay for their freight to Ottawa and all subsequent expenses. - Small specimens or samples which do not weigh more than four pounds may be mailed free to Ottawa, others may be packed up in boxes and sent by C.

In the immediate neighborhood of Greenwood some good strikes are reported of telluride ore. The Mother Lode is keeping ahead of the requirements of the two furnaices at the Greenwood smelter- ; Angus McGillivray7 has gone to work the Neepawa, Ten Mile. He will work* the property all summer. It is expected that the ten stamp mill on the Eva, near Camborne, will be in oper- tion within the next few days. On the Edith L. Fraction, near the Ath- elstan mine, in the Wellington camp, an uprooted tree exposedlthe croppings of a ledge 100 feet wide. The values are said to bo $100 in gold and silver. A. M. Symons claims to have on Ping- ston creek one of the largest zinc properties in the Kootenay. He says the ledge is 25 to 80 feet wide, it is eight miles from Arrow lake, and at a depth of 200 feet a body of clean zinc ore three feet 'wide is found. The ore averages botwcen 30 and 40 per cent zinc with some galoua going 2 to 5 ounces silver, $1 to $5 gold hud 13 per cent lead. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD E. Rammelmeyer is in from the Fern mine and reports that he is keeping the ten stamp =mfll working with only four miners getting out ore and that the re-' suits so far are entirely satisfactory. Under J. L. Parker's management the North Star is looking splendid. As soon as the government gives the necessary encouragement to the lead industry this property will be a steady shipper. ' , Coal lands have been located on Fording river, north of block 4588. This is unreserved crown land. The Trail* smelter have a license from the. government to prospect for coal in that neighborhood and have located a block of 42 claims, y Work on the Cromwell will be begun as soon as the snow is away sufficiently to allow, a tunnel to be commenced about 250 feet above the present lower crosscut. This tunnel will strike the vein in about 150 feet giving a depth of between 500 and 60*0 feet on the ledge. Work on the Georgie group, situate on the north fork of the Illicilliwaet river, about 19 miles from Albert Canyon, lias proceeded steadily all winter. Over 100 feet of tunnelling has been done. Dave Woolsey and partners own the group and have great confidence in the future of the property. Colonel Toppping, the father of Trail, was in Spokane to see president Roosevelt and incidentally to try and interest him in one of the biggest things on earth. The president was, however, too busy to talk about'mining deals. The genial old colonel is \"now located in Greenhorne camp, about 25 miles from Sumpter, Oregon, and has a bond on the Forty-Nine Jimmy. The vein is only five inches wide at present but goes $1000 a ton in gold onthe average. Surface water interferes with mining just now, but as soon as\" it is away the colonel has arranged for steady development work. All reports heard about the property indicate that ^ it will be a steady shipper from this time forward. . At the annual meeting of the Payne company the manager of the property, reported on the recent strike in the low level tunnel: \"The vein is wider and shows a higher grade of ore in the floor _ inches having bad luck with their steel.** i * - A grand ball was a fitting close to the day's entertainment, and quite a number of the Nelson visitors remained over for it.

Visit of President Roosevelt to Spokane, His Magnificent Reception and Splendid Speech w m Tuesday, tho 26th of May was a great day for the city of Spokane. Thousands of visitors from tho adjacont towns camo to welcome the first visit of president Roosovelt. They came from eastern Washington, Idaho, Montana and a goodly number from British Columbia and it is computed that 75,000 people were present. With the exception of two slight showers, which fell just about the time of tho president's arrival, the weather was all that could be desired. The city was splendidly decorated. One flag in pai'ticulor called for notice, it being about 40x80 feet and waved most majestically between two banks on Riverside. The main streets were all roped off and soldiers, militia and police kept the large crowd in good order. About 2:30 a special train with president Roosevelt arrived on the O. R. & N. railroad. The reception committee were introduced by governor McBride, mayor Boyd and senator Turner, after which the party took their seats in the carriages and the drive around the city began. Mounted police lead the way, followed by an escort of rough riders, then the carriage with the president, mayor Boyd, governor McBride, secretary Loeb, and a special constable. Great disappointment Avas caused to the Spokane Athletic Club. They had prepared the ground and were all ready ex pecting tho president to turn the sod for their now building, when greatly to thoir surprise tho cavalcade passed them without stoppiug. This and the great disappointment to the school children, were the most prominent features of the blundering which took place in the ' arrangements. About 6000 school children had been got together in the Coeur d'Alene park where they expected the president would address them. When, however the carriages came in sight it was very soon seen that there was no intention on the part of the president to stop/ This was a very cruel blunder on someone's part, as the listening to a few words from the \"president would have been a prominent event in the lives,of Spokane's future men and women. From what could be learned afterwards it seems that no arrangement had been made by the committes for the' president to speak to the children. The president's thoughtful nature asserted itself a little later when, on being told that E. Sanders, who had served in Cuba and the Philippines, was very ill, and the house being pointed out to him, he at once ordered the carriage be stopped and getting out went and shook hands with the young man, and wished him a speedy recovery. The ceremony where president Roosevelt broke ground for the new Masonic temple, while exceedingly brief was intently interesting to the big crowd of Masons which assembled to witness it. Prior to tho ceremony tlie Masons liad marched from the present temple to the scene - of tho new ono. Ninety-one Knights Templars, brilliantly uniformed, led the procession, and they wore followed by 346 blue lodge Masons. Thus there were 437 Masons in line. When tho president reached the site, ho was escorted, together with governor McBride, secretary Loeb and mayor Boyd, from his carriage to the scene of the ceremony, a distance of only a few feet, by a guard composed of captain John Gray, E. F. Waggoner, H. L. Burns and F. E. Michaels. A. M. Thomas, George E. Clark and H. B. Winchester, representing the tliree Masonic lodges in Spokane, were on hand with a bright new pick and spade. Judge H. L. Kennan, who was with the Knights Templars, made a brief speech on the significance of the occasion and presented the tools to the president. The president's speech was very brief. He said; \"It is a very great pleasure to me to be present among my brothers and my countrymen on this occasion. It is a pleasure to throw the first spade of dirt for your new Masonic temple.\" Then seizing the pick the president struck the ground twice vigorously. Then a quick turn with tho spade aud the work was over. F. P. Weymouth thanked the president on behalf of the Masons. At the comer of Lincoln and Main a grand stand had been erected. This was well filled by the invited guests and the reception committee and from it could bo seen the sea of faces, said to number 25,- 000 to 30,000. President Roosevelt arrived on the grand stand about fiive. o'clock and was met by a lady and gentleman who were evidently old friends of his, with whom he talked for a time. The gentleman, who wns said to be an old ranching partner of tho president, showed his delight by patting the president on the back. Senator Turner then called up mayor Dean of Rossland, mayor Archer of Kaslo, aud mayor Burritt of Grand Forks and introduced them to tho prosident, who shook hands with them and said ho was glad to see theni, and that ho had been in the Kootenay country years ago. After some little delay caused by the Grand Army men, who wero being marched into position at the foot of the stand, Senator Turner in a brief but effective speech introduced the president. He finished by saying: \"Mr. president, in the name of these thousands, I give you a cordial and hearty welcome to our midst. They love their country, respect its laws, honor those who have been selected to rule over it aud in its hour of stress will be found in the vanguard of those who brave suffering and danger and death for its protection and preservation. Again in their name I bid you a cordial welcome to our midst. Fellow citizens, I now have the distinguished honor of presenting to you Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States.'' (Loud and continued applause.) President Roosevelt said in part: \"Senator Turner and you, my fellow Americans: It is a matter of the greatest pleasure to me that I am able today to come here and greet you, greet you in this wonderful city of this wonderful state. (Applause.) Before I came I knew you had done a great deal, but I did not know qiute how much, and though I thought I came to Washington a pretty good American, I go away a better one. \"Ours is a government of liberty by, through and under the law. No man i.s above it. And the crime of cunning, the crime of greed, the 0111110 of violeuco, are all equal crimes nnd against them all aliko the law must set its fnco. (Great applause) \"This is not and it never shall be a government either of a plutocracy or of n mob, neither one. (Great applause.) It is, aud it has been, and it will be, a government of the people, including alike the people of great wealth, of moderate wealth, the people who employ others, the people who are employed, the wage worker, the lawyer, the mechanic, the banker or the f arnier; including them allv protecting each and every one if he acts decently and squarely, and discriminating against each of them, no matter from what class he comes, if he does not act fairly and squarclj\", if lie does not obey the law. (Applause.) \"And while all people arc foolish if they go outside the law, wicked as well as foolish, yet the most foolish man of this republic is the man of wealth who complains because the law is administered with impartial justice against or for hhn. (Great applause.) And his folly is greater than the folly of any other man who protests against the law, because he lives aud moves and has his being because the law does indeed protect him and his property; and we have the right to ask cveiy decent Americau citizen to rally to the support of the law if it is being broken against the interests of the rich man, nnd we have the same right to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD nsk that rich man to cheerfully and gladly acquiesce in the enforcement of the law against his seeming interest if it is tbe law. (Applause.) \"And now, my friends, in closing, for I shall not keep you long, let me dwell upon ono more lesson taught by tho men of the civil war, the lesson of brotherhood, thc lesson of accepting each man on his worth as a man. Remember that there aro two sides' to an estrangement. It i.s 11 base thing, a base aud wicked thing, for nny man in a spirit of arrogance to look down upon another because lie is less well off, less successful; aud also, my brothers, it is just a.s base, just as wicked in a way, to look with rancor aud envy and hatred upon another man because he i.s better off than you are. The two crimes are manifestations of tho same feeling, and one is as base and .as un-American a.s the other, and each aliko is destructive of thc principles that lie at the base of our American republic. \"Now, I want to make clear one point: if you only have enough selfrespect you would not envy or hate another man because he is better off in the world's goods. You would not do it because you aro too proud of yourselves as American citizens, because you have too much confidence in yourselves, because you will not admit the inferiority that accompanies envy. If you envy and hate another man, you admit that you arc inferior, to him, and it is not only a baseness of attitude toward him, but it i.s nn admission of unworthiness in yourselves. \"What wo want to know about our fellow citizen is, if lie is a man who docs his duty by his neighbor and the state, if he is a good father, a good husband aud a good man to work beside, to deal with, a good man in the performance of his civic duty, then he is a good citizen and entitled to the respect and regard. of all honest men. \"And if he is not, if he docs not come up to tho standard as regards all those matters, then, be lie poor or be he rich, be ho worth his millions or be ho a ninn who does not know nt one day whore the next- bread will come from, in either case he is a bad citizen, and not a good one, and I ask that we see to it- in this', our country, that the lino of division in the deepe* matters of our citizenship be drawn never between section and section, never between creed and creed; never, thrico never, between class and class, but that the lino bo drawn on the line of conduct cutting through sections, cutting tlirough creeds, cutting through classes, tho line that divides the honest from thc dishonest, tho line that divides good citizenship from bad citizenship, the line that declares a man a good citizen if he only acts in accordance with the immutable law of righteousness, which has been the same from the beginning of history to the present moment, and which will be tho same from now to the end of recorded time. ''I thank you for listening to me.\" At the conclusion of his speech tlie- president was driven to the Northern Pa-' cific depot, leaving at 6 :lo for Helena. The president was presented with a silver plate, engraved \"Honorary Member Spokane Amateur Association,\" and as souvenirs from Spokane, a minature dinner pail of silver filled with rich specimens of ore from Washington mines and some cups of royal onyx from the Stevens county quarries of the United States Marble company. After shaking hands with those of the conjniittce nearest him, the president waved his hat and oried \"Good-bye, boys,\" and the train pulled slowly out amid the cheers of the crowd,. A magnificent display pf fireworks fittingly concluded the festivities of the day, and most of the visitors wended their way to the depots and wearily went to their homes after a day long to be remembered. About 11:30 a sad accident occmred at the Northern Pacific depot, Julia Porack, the 20 year old daughter of Rudolph Porack, of Sprague, while waiting to take tho train for home, was run over and killed.

JOHN HOUSTON; Editor. SATURDAY, MAT 30, 1903 : The Vancouver World insinuates that the Canadian Pacific 'contributed $60,000 towards the anti-Martin campaign fund in the 1900 provincial election, and that it was disbursed through E. P. Davis, K.C., of Vancouver, and E. V. Bodwell, K. C, Victoria. None of the money was used in the interests of the candidates of the Provincial Party in that contest; it went to defray the expenses of the \" Turnerites \" and the \" Straight Conservatives \" and the \"Independent Liberals.\" Politicians in Nelson who worked for the \" Straight Conservative \" and the \" Independent Liberal\" candidates could, if \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD they would, explain how much of that fund was used to bring about the defeat of John Houston, the candidate of the Provincial Party. ; They .could) if they would, also explain how the defeat of Houston was to be brought about. The World, however, is wrong aB to the amount contributed by the Canadian Pa- cific. While that raU-wayiandJits officials. contributed part of the 160,000, most of it was contributed by the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company and men like Senator Cox of Toronto. If these corporations contributed 160,000 to bring about Martin's defeat in 1900, it is not at all unlikely that other corporatipns contributed to Martin's campaign fund, which is placed at $40,000. If corporations put up $100,- 000 for election expenses in 1900, what did the corporations expect to get in return for their money? Was it legislation to directly benefit them; or was it orders- in-council to give them the Dutchman's one per cent on their- investment ? Today the party managers are casting about for campaign funds. None of them have the courage to appeal to the people themselves for the necessary funds to carry on the election. If the people are honest, party managers would not need to go to corporations for campaign funds. At the last Dominion election in the city of Vancouver, the manager of one of the parties stated that there were more grafters in Vancouver than in all the rest of Canada. Were the people of British Columbia to declare they would not support a political party who liad a campaign fund, political purity might follow, and investigations like those seen at Victoria would no longer be heard of. But the people want campaign funds, and when they get them the corporations who furnish the funds want something in return, and that something always comes out of the pockets of the people. What fools the people nre! Mighty crowds greeted presidont Roosevelt at Spokane on Tuesday and lie everywhere won golden opinions from the assembled multitude. Although not to be considered an orator, he is a forcible and convincing speaker, and his intense earnestness is evident in every word he utters. He impresses his audience with the idea that he is talking from his heart, and SUNDAY OBSERVANCE. Sabbath' observance is older than the Hebrew nation. Doubtless it arose out of the well marked phases of the moon, and the Hebrew name, which means division or cessation, or rest, sufficiently points to that derivation. The moon was the most obvious marker of the' divisions* of time, and in all ages it has been observed as such. ' Our word month points to the moon as the source of our first division of the year. Two.reasons are given in the Bible for the observance of the Sabbath by the Jews. The first is that \" in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed tho Sabbath day and hallowed it.\" But the only command connected with this hallowing was that the Hebrew people should rest on that day. It was peculiarly a Hebrew institution- so far as these commands go. '' And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths ye shall keep; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generation; that you may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. Ye shall keep the Sabbath; therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put^ to^ \"d^tbTTfoFwhcMSver doettTany woriclhere- in, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. Six days may work be done: but in the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to tho Lord; whosoever shall do any work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be pat to death. Wherefore tho children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to serve the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a. perpetual covenant. It is a sign between mc and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.\" In Deuteronomy the reason for the Sabbath observance is given thus: \"And remember, that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the Lord thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day.\" It was only a command to rest. Thero was no command to worship on that day, and there was no inhibition of recreation and innocent pleasure. ' The plain meaning of all Sabbath laws in the Old Testament is that on the seventh day of the week (our Saturday) both man and beast should have rest from labor. \"In it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man servant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor the stranger that is -within thy gates.\" It was purely a benevolent law in the interests of workers both man and beast. Afterwards, when the Pharisees became dominant in the Jewish theocracy, they added many things to the Mosaic law. These were the men who took tithe of anise and mint and cummin, and neglected the weightier matters of tho law\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD judgment, mercy and faith; the hypocrites who devoured widows' homes, and for a pretence made long prayers; the men who bound heavy burdens and grievous to be borne upon men's shoulders. But the Great Teacher condemned the Pharisaical Sabbath as pointedly as he condemned the Pharisaical hypocrisy. He aud his disciples walked in the fields on tlie Sabbath day, and plucked the ears of com; and when he was charged with violation of the law, he replied that the. fcJabbath was mado for man, and not man for the Sabbath day. He directed the man whom he had healed to take up his bed and walk.thongh it was the Sabbat-May. Paul insisted that those who had become free from the law should no longer be entangled therein. He said: \"one man esteemeth one day above another ; another man esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.\" To the Galatians he said: \" Ye observe days and months and times and years. I am afraid of you, lest \" I have bestowed upon you labor in vain.\" There is not one word in the New Testament commanding or even commending, the observance of the Sabbath; still less is there the slightest intimation that another holy day had been substituted for the Jewish Sabbath. The early Christians of Jewish birth continued to observe the Jewish Sabbath, and they also met on the first day of the week. The heathen Christains also, to some extent, showed respect to the Jewish Sabbath; but, as Sunday was a heathen festival, their opportunities jumped with their inclinations, and they more and more fell into the habit of keeping Sunday and neglecting the Sabbath. In 821 the emperor Constantine issued an edict that all courts of justice, inhabitants of towns and workshops should rest on the ''venerable day of the sun,\" but those who were engaged in agricultural labor might work on that day. From< that time to this the law in all Christian countries has commanded some observance of the first day of the week as a day of rest. But in nineteen-twentieths of the Christian world there is no Pharisaical or Puritanical observance of the day. Such a thing was never heard of till the Puritans became dominant in England, and undertook to make a fetich of the day of rest. There are people in Canada today who want to do the same thing. If they could have their way they would rob the workingman of his day of rest and make it a burden heavier to be. borne than the hardest days labor. Existing conditions have driven a large percentage of the working classes from the churches, where those who can afford to wear fine clothes have the gospel preached unto them. The Sabbatarians would deny them the privilege of making Sunday a day of recrera- tion, thus reversing the Divine command. The day of rest was intended to be a sweet and blessed relief to the toiling millions, Properly observed it falls with holy benificence into the lives of the poor, and makes their conditions less sorrowful. Six days of toil, poor child of Cain, \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Thy strength the slave of want may be; Thy seventh thy limbs escape the chain; A God hath made thee free. The narrow Pharisaical spirit which would take away the boon will certainly not be allowed to prevail. For this is a land of freedom, and the people will not suffer themselves to be robbed of one of their most precious possessions.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Hamilton (Ontario) Spectator.

The Nelson Tribune RESPECTIVE ATTRACTIVE VALUE OF EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN SCENERY TO THE TOURIST We bear much in these days of in- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD creased European travel, stimulated largely by the number of tourist agcucies of the \" Cook \" order which havo mado it possible for tho person of moderate means to obtain a very fair idea of things in three or four foreign countries within tho usual monthly holiday limit aud at a figure that is becoming well nigli irresistible. It- is the fashion to do Europe and the thousands who go there every year aro adding to tho already very largo number who are able from experience to talk freely on continental topics. Fashion has decreed that all who can possibly afford it should go to Europe, even if only to say they have been there, somewhat after tho clever skit which appeared in Punch some time back wherein si lady at the dinner table of' an hotel in Geneva asks her neighbor where she was going. 0! said the lady \"I am going to Geneva.\" \" But you are in Geneva retorted the other.\" \"0! well then I am going to Rome.\" - Much stress is laid on the scenery to be witnessed in the older lands. One returning traveller will rave about thc beauty of tho Rhine, while as a matter of fact the St. Lawrence or the Hudson are both naturally finer. Another will go into rhapsodies over the Fiojrds' of Norway, whicli are surpassed in beauty by the inlets on the west coast of this province. Still a third, will grow sentimental over Alpine scenery that can be matched any day right at oiu* doors in the Sellrirks or Rockies. ''. Hills look green from afar'' is one reason why we on this side are more eager to {.'do\" Etu*ope before we have oven commenced to \" do \" our own land. There must be something, however, beyond this, some greater attractive power which draws annually a vast army of pilgrims to the various pleasure shrines of western Europe, an army increasing in numbers year by year with the facilities for travel and unquestionably doing splendid international work by way of cementing the relations between, the two great English speaking nations of the earth.\" There is a story told of how an American who went to London to visit and among his social credentials w*as one to an old lady of tlie ancient school. ' He called in dite course, found her sitting in an arm chair with a cat ptiiTing on the hearth of a cosy fire. She received hini with that cordial warmth tempered with the silent dignity which befits people of breeding. Ho came away charmed with her attractive personality and returned to America. Ten years passed away when he had occasion to go to England again. Ho called as a matter of course on tho old lady and found her in tho same house, sitting in tho same arm chair, with a tabby on the hearth of a cozy firo precisely as before. The story vividly illustrates the calm even^tenor of life in the older lands, where tho environment will remain tho same for long, long years and'is a wonderful contrast to the mad whirl which we on this continent live and movo and have our being. A restlessness stalks tho laud, people come and go hardly knowing whence thoy came and whither going. Tho veneration for age is passing away and only the thc brand new, up-to-date has any groat value iu our eyes; the glories associated with tlio past tiro losing their hold on us. The struggle there has been to save from obliteration the few interesting relics of antiquity on this continent and more particularly the remains of the old missions iu California, simple souvenirs of tho happiest days that fan* land has ever seen, testify to the degenerate condition. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD In the lands that have a past, the close observer knows it is not so much the scenery as the environment that capti- va'tes and stores oiu* minds with lasting vistas. The Swiss mountains are no more ' sublime in then* rugged grandeur than are the Rockies or Cascades. The Swiss Oberland as seen from Lucerne is no finer than the magnificent sweep of the Rockies as seen from Calgary, nor the lakes of Scotland more picturesque than those of this province. Only this, the Helvetian Alps, the valley of Lucerne aiid the lochs of Scotland are the homes of peoples that have lived thero for generations, chosen the most picturesque spots, adopted costumes of dress as if to lend a charm to the scenes around. Grand as is the scenery here, it fails to captivate for the reason that it does not appeal to the heart of the traveller as much as scenes where' the heart of humanity has throbbed for years and where the joys and sorrows of human life have had their sway. They who have stood on the mountain side in the Tyrol and heard the shepherd's, call from across the ravines; thoy who have gazed on the glorious Rhine1 and heard the dulcet' song, of the \" Lorely\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\".'\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD wafted on the breeze to guitar accompaniment and sung as they sing in the Fatherland; those who have walked amid the vine clad hill.s of France and heard'the huntsman's horn from afar off at the setting of the sun; those who have listened to the village chimes in England, wafting harmonies around and inviting thought towards higher themes, all who have experienced either of these know of the value of environment and why some, places become hallo*,ved by the hand of time, and why pleasant memories cling to one particular scene through life. , -Art would be greater on this continent if there were more color around. The brush searches in vain for > that beautiful softness of pastoral scenery which seems; as it were to harmonize with the mental condition .of a people. satisfied with its lot and upon whom the deadly, blight of- twentieth century restlessness has not, as yet, descended. The great painters Corot and Millet must; have seen exceptional beauty in the forest of F.ontaiuebleau, for ho woodland has attracted art as this incomparable forest, has done, and none has been so immortalized. We shall be long before we, oii this continent, are able' to show spots having the attractive power of those in older lands. This must'be diie largely to tlie-inability of the people here to get away from their business. Thc English people, whatever may be said, cannot learn very much from us in a business way*. John Bull,-in .spite of all the American tooting7 is still doing business at the old stand and will remain there for long years, The Germans know as much about mercantile affairs as any on this continent aiid the business aptitude of the French is marvelous. All these threo nations work hard, quite as hard as people on this side, who are prone to impress one that if one wants to see work one should come to America. Yet with all their work these Europeans know how to play; they know how to give this color to the landscape and give more time to the study of the arts and sciences. People on this sido seem never quite able to get away from then- business. One feels they aro packing it around, with them, be they at the theatre, out fishing or in a lodge room. The Britisher locks his offlce door at the close of business of the day and he will put aside business till the next morning. The German will go off to his beer garden and discuss politics to the sound of music that is part of himself, for he can \"no more live'without music than we can without ah*. The Frenchman goes off to dinner at some summer auberge at which he will sit for hours with his family and friends. They turn all this iiito a happy environment and thus succeed, far better than we, in answering the question whether life is worth living. There are deeper causes that go to. make up environment and shed some faint light on the power some places have of giving a calm-to the mind. Many have realized this without knowing why. The old cathedrals and churches bring to the man of the street a feeling of calm which he does not attempt to deny. It is said that the repeated aspirations and purer thoughts 'that characterize the average mind of the worshipers has a sort of clarifying effect on the unseen atmosphere and tunes it to a higher key. The subject comes under the study of thought and its tremendous \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD power, but it has some bearing on the question of the attractiveness of certain places laying claim to age. Much can be done to make our environment better than it is. Charles Dickens used to say that his characters lived with him in the unseen, that they danced around him while he wrote, so he lived in the environment of his own making\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe reflection of his own mind. Quite possibly the tourist sees all the various meccas in Europe tempered largely with his own personal view of things; and the one re-, corded by Mark Twain, who blew out a sacred light which liad been burning for years in an old cathedral, had probably little veneration in his make-up. In'years to come, out of thepreseiit mixture of races on this continent, will arise nations; \"as In Europe today, having each its own history and traditions,--and with them will come the color winch: we sea in Europe;, today.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD;\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Meanwhile, the . charm of -European; travel will captivate, for they are the'outcome of centuries of residence of the. various nations, and there is nothing more fascinating than to study how things arc done by other peoples, from whom we can learn much. There is a time for work and a time for play, and when the latter arrives it is worth knowing how to do it wisely and well. -F.sWrPETiTr:\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD TALES FOR TRAVELERS, The following description of Slocan City and Mew Denver are from the illustrated pamphlet issued by the Tourist Associa- ^ **\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*** ft*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD****^ 4* 4Z 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 $ 49 49 49 J\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD. \"49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 49 We have purchased the entire Dover stock at a greatly reduced price from the> mort- gagees and will offer for the balance of this month at and below wholesale cost. ..-. . . .

The* sportsman, the mountain climber and the lover of nature can find within a few miles of Slocan City the opportunity of indulging his taste with gratifying results and little discomfort. It is a bright little town, with several good hotels, situated on Slocan Lake, at the head of Slocan river, and is about two hours' journey from Nelson, by the O.P.R. line. It may also be reached from Nakusp, on the Arrow lakes, via Rosebery, from the latter place by steamer, 20 miles, over one of the loveliest of mountain lakes. The Slocan river runs through a valley averaging two miles wide, for about 80 miles before joining the Kootenay. It is a typical trout stream, and with tlie lake and numerous mountain streams, gives all the sport the fisherman can require. The valley is well stocked with willow grouse, and the first range of. hills is the home of the blue grouse. Here, too, deer, both black and white tail, range thickly. In the lower mountains are numbers of black bear, and in the higher the grizzly. Mountain goat are still common within a few miles of the town. The peaks and glaciers of the Slocan and Valhalla mountains are easily accessible by roads and trails, and in six or seven hours, through magnificent mountain scenery, one can reach the Kokanee glacier, 9,000 feet high. Many peaks have' not yet been climbed, and are worth conquering. Slocan lake offers the best of hoating, bathing and fishing and the summer weather is delightful. All necessary outfitting can be done in Slocan City, and good guides, packers and horses can be obtained. Slocan has its Tourist Associa: tion, whose secretary will give au information to those desiring it.\" '5 And what shall we say with regard to New Denver, that beauty spot on the most beautiful lake in North America; Slocan lake, 28 miles long, two to three miles wide, and from 900 to 2000 feet deep; Switzerland has its Lucerne, to which thousands flock, but its scenery is mild, so travellers say, compared with that surrounding NeW Denver. Here majestic mountains liftytheir snow capped peaks thousands of feet heavenward, rising in some instances abruptly from^the water's edge and in others being lapped by rolling hills, hi the heavy timber oh which can be found wild game of every description. Prom here can be viewed the finest sunsets that cau be conceived of and the lake and mountain scenery form one grand panorama. - In a few hours one can betaken to mountain streams alive with speckled beauties, and steam and naphtha launches will convey you to the most charming camping grounds that can be imagined; Pack horses will convey your camp outfit to the mountain fastness where7 deer^'caribouy black and grizzly bear are found, and a half-day's climb will take you to the summit of Glacier mountain, where you can examine the great glacial field of ice and enjoy on the lake the most exciting of troll fishing. There is no need for fear of not being comfortable.

There' was about $10 damage done, the blaze being put out by the chemical engine. The first cricket game of the season was played on the recreation grounds this afternoon.

Complaints are made by residents on the C. P. R. flats that tin* Chinese laun- drymen are being allowed to drain into, or towards Cottonwood creek. In most instances the filthy water escapes from the flumes, and lies mound in pools, which when tho hot weal her comes may be very unhealthy. C. P. R. district passenger agent J. S. Carter's many friends will bo glad to know that for tho present at least he stays at Nelson. A rumor liad been going the rounds of tho papers that ho was to be promoted to Vancouver to take the place of E. J. Coyle. There seems to be no truth, in the statement as far as can be learned here. The case of the city of Nelson vs. J. K. Strachan, formerly citj*- clerk, came up again this morning before police magistrate Crease. P. E. Wilson, city solicitor, appeared on behalf of the city and W. A. Macdonald, K. C, for tho defence. Mi-. Wilson said that under his instructions he had no evidenco to offer, and the case was adjourned until Monday, bail being renewed as before. It is understood that any difference in the accounts havo been adjusted and the money refunded the city. SUPREME COURT. On Tuesday the first matter to come up was Docksteader. vs. Clark. W. A. Macdonald, K.C-, for defendant, applied that the case be postponed so that a witness, now in Dawson, could be got. The application was granted on defendant paying all costs of the day and ail costs incidental to the adjoiirnment in any event. S. S. Taylor, K.C., for plaintiff. Kingsmill vs. Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company came next. S. S. Taylor, K.C., for plaintiff, W. A. Macdonald, K.C., for the company. Tho following were the jurymen on this case: G. O. Hodge, foreman, W. Park, H. Amos, W. W. Bradley, G. S. McLaughlin, R. M. Hood, H. Cane and D. S. McLachlan. The principal witness was the plaintiff A. C. Kingsmill, who sues for damages for injuries caused to him on March 28th, 1902, while at work in the employ of the company in room lo, level No.- 7, of the No. 4 mine at Michel. In his evidence, he stated that throughout the mine at that time tho company was pushing the getting out of coal, and refusing to supply timbering with which to make the roof of the working places- safe, and that by reason of this, while, he was working, coal from the roof fell on him; breaking his thigh and dislocating his ankle. The case was continued all Wednesday and the jury were excused until two o'clock on Thursday.- The court then charged' the jury, his lordship submitting six questions, if however the first question was answered in the negative the others could be abandoned. The jury then retired, and in an hour's time reported to the court that their answer to the first question was in the negative. Their verdict was accepted and they were discharged from further attendance. Tho question submitted aud the answer given was as follows: Did the defendant company or its servants do anything in regard to the timbering of tho room which a person of ordinary care aud skill would not have done under tho circumstances, or omit to do anything which a person of ordinary care and skill would have done under tho circumstances? The result of the jury's finding is a judgment iu favor of tho defendants the Crow's Nest Coal company, who are acquitted of negligence in connection with the accident in which the plaintiff sustained the injuries he complained of, and on account of Avliich he sought damages from the company: The case of Briggs vs. Fleutot next occupied the attention of the court. In this case H. Giegerich, of Kaslo, as assignee of R. P. Briggs, seeks an order from the court that he is owner of certain mineral claims, and that the court order property sold to satisfy a judgment of $1446 obtained by Briggs end assigned to Gieg- ; rich. S. S. Taylor, K.C., for plaintiff and W. A. Macdonald, K.C., and Rex Macdonald for defendant. The argument was continued by W. A. Macdonald on Friday, and S. S. Taylor summed up for the plaintiff. The learned judge announced that further argument would be heard later on. In the meantime the next case called\jvas Balfour vs. Ingram, in which suit is brought to set aside a chattel mortgage made by Ingram in favor Of W. H.. Covert of Grand Forks, and assigned by him to the Eastern Townships Bank. John Elliot and R. S. Lennie for plaintiff, J. A. Macdonald, of Rossland, for tho Eastern Townships Bank, and S. S. Taylor, K.C., for W. H. Covert.
