THIS CAMPAIGN, Wednesday night nf last wcul- flic Conservatives held a meeting In Stork's opera house. About two hundred per- sous wero pi esertt. W. II. I loss, M. I,. A., occupied the ch.iir. The r-'rwakers were Hun. C. Il Mukiiit..s:1, the party candidate, and W. Illakemnre, M. B.

Mr. Mai-kliitoeb dealt more partini replying in brief to Mr. Macdonald's speech delivered in Qranbrook tlio past week, and concluded by asking the support of those present for the Conservative candidate. , The next speaker was J. A. Macdonald, leader of the pioviucial opposition. This wus Mr. Macdou-tld's lirsl appearance in Fernie, and the large iniij rtity of the audience were anxious to hear one who may at some future period be premier of the province, Mr. Macdonald is a pleasing and logical speaker, and a clever manipulator of tacts. In a speech of about an hour's •Juration he presented the Liberal side, of the caso in a very convincing manner. To tho people of the mining portions of British Columbia perhaps the most important subject touchid on by him was a duty on coal, lumber and lead. To protection for these industries Mr. Macdonald expressed himself as opposed, contend.tig that it would work a hardship on the people of Manitoba and the Territories. However, he claimed that the Liberal government had a scheme iu the incubator that would hutch piosperily for these iu- diiBiiics. He also referred to Mr. Mackintosh's .connection with: the Le Roi purchase and tho suicide of Whit- taker Wright. Altogether it might be. termed a clever sj etch, xoncs. ft, might not be considered inappropriate that the tune played by the Italian band ..welcoming the lender of the provincial opposition was "Marching through Georgia." Roth meetings in tho opera house proved conclusively that a majority of tlie people of Fernie are not deeply mtciusted in tho outcome of tho-con- test in Kootenay, as veiy little en- thtibiasm was displayed at either meet- -iiijn " ~ W.

The company operating is not tin: sit in j that piuposes to build a zinc smelter In the coal regions. Owing to the fact that many of the stockholders iu the coal mine operated by French capital near Frank are interested in zinc, .llio smelter will lie near or at Frank. At first it will .employ about thirty men and bundle forty tons of ore daily. U will be the litst zinc smciter in Canada, ami will do much to stimulate tho production of xiuc ore iu the .Slocan.

McTnvish wi-rd the judges. F-ullortcn declared that Mitchell won the race, but Harry Wright declared, upon his honor, that Renwick hit tho til lie lirst. Aftet considerable energetic oratory Mc 'lavish settled the cathop by declaring Renwick winner, in spite of the protest.-. of Fullerton, and mai.y disinterested spectators. The Fernie. man offered to run the race over, but the Nelson sports would not do it, evidently! thinking they had a Wright to the money, and not even to uphold the fame of their fair city by giving an even break to all comers, they remained trim to the mud in their eouis and held onto the dough like a pack of peccaries at ithe golden wedding lof a r.swill-barrel. The event has blackened the eye of Nelson in outside sporting circles, Reuwick publicly stated lhat he is willing to again run against Mitchell for [another purse Mhchell has answered tho challenge and will run, provided the race is pulled off in Cranbrook. .Ho does not care to have to beat an opponent 60 yards in order to win a race. Cole Murchison had a tittle time on the sido over the latest sensation in Nelson He held stake money for Harry Jones and a man named Johnstone. Under tho circumstances 'Johnston refused to bIIow Colo to pay over the money, and Jones tried to force ah issue by getting out a warrantor Cole's arrest, probably thinking that (betting was a legal business. However, Cole got back to Fernie intact aud still has tho money, although the telegrams ate pouring in from n lawyer in Nelson, asking him to givo it up. All of which makes it a fact that betting on races is about as uncertain as playing the hole card when the other fellow has a sign ou its back. THBY_PLKaLHIG.ll. KPWOIITH f,KAUl*K.

POINTERS FROM DEFEAT. In future campaigns the Conservatives of Canada might find the foi lowing advice from the Toronto Telegram worth taking: "Canada should have defeated Sir Wilfrid Laurier on the iniquities and dangers of tlie Grand Trunk Pacific deal. "The Dominion-government deserved to lose on its demerits. " But did the Dominion opposition deserve to win on its merits. "A wise country will never pardon the faults of 'a'tried government because it doubts tlie virtues of air- untried opposition. "'Canada [usually"' insists "not only that the government shall deserve to lose but that air opposition shall deserve to win.1 ■"The,Dominion'opposition simply did not deserve to win on its own merits. "The opposition's merits were few, of no practical value except its tardy "aeciaTauroii iur puoric~ownerRmpiirar saved the day in Ontario. "In the main the opposition lacked industry. It lacked courage, lt was ofteii lazy, and not seldom cowardly. "The lesson of the election is that in Canada an opposition cun seldom win on the faults of a government. The Conservatives must learn to light at Ottawa if they expect to win in the country. They should defend the people if they expect the people to defend them. The, true science of modern politics docs not consist in netting behind the corporations but in getting in front ot tlie people and staying there." LONDON A PAGAN CITY. It was an old subject for discussion, this pagan London, long" before Archdeacon Sinclair revived the problem at St, Sepulchre's church recently. "Church or chapel," lie said "are only attended by about lrt per cent, of London's population. That means that four-fifths of the-people do not worship God at. all." Many clergymen ascribe the decline in London's church going to a weakening of religious belief. But there is no reason1 to take so pessimis tic a view,'.. There are many other causes which affect Sunday attendance, causes which directly arise from the growth of our vast city, from the strenuous competition in 'modern business, from tlie nerve fag and brain fag of the worker.?, and from alterations,in the manners ami customs of nil classes of society. The village church was tlio center ot the village life a hall'a ccnturv ago;, and in many parts of the coun try it remains in. this respect unchanged. The chapel shared and still shares its.-position. The children are taught their religion in the Sunday schools by whatever branch of the Christian creed these estab- ItUILMXi. ll' Yont TOWN.

THE LEDGE, FERNIE, B.C., NOVEMBER 16, 1904 YOUNG GIRL'S BRAVE FIGHT had to (leal with it—the editors of the religious journals find it a' theme that . A frail, slender vgirl, Mi^s Nelson, ! must In? treated in a trenchant manner. *. one line nisrht early in April, 1903; sat quietly beside her mother. From the next room, where the two little children had'been lett playing, came a strange grating sound. The older , sister stopped to the door, between the two apartments, only to turn- pa'e wilh dismay and diorror, for there, last asleep on fie hearthrug, lay the little brother and sister, and crawl- . ing slowly across the Hour toward; thorn a great, slimy lilig-itor, evidently attracted to the house by the hope of young kittens or puppies. Its wicked, stony eyes, critn with baleful light, wore Used* on tho unconscious babies, and tho wide jaws, open nnd ponderous, dripped with the foam of eager, unsatisfied greed. Frantically calling tb the dogs out side the front door to enter and help her, tho brave girl caught up the largo lamp that stood [just within the mother's room, and hurled it full at the. horrible, gaping j:iws. Then, leaping nside to escape the luiious onslaught thus brought upon herself, she stooped quick as thought, and tossed upon the high bed in tlie corner the suddenly roused and frightened children. She turned from r.he task to find that the infuriated aliga- tor, diverted from its original purpose and confused' by tlie unexpected attack, had dashed straight through the open door and made its way to the bedside of the helpless, terrified mother. Without u" moment's hesi tation the devoted daughter rushed to her aid. A shovel of, hot coals from the glowing lire thrown directly against the vicious eyes of the angry creature only served to strengthen and intensify its* fury. Apparently his entire will was now bent upon the * destruction of the helpless woman on tho bed. Tho awful, snapping jaws were within a few feet of her body when the desperate girl, returning from the kitchen with an axe that had jubt recurred to her memory, "iiilTinr TiTTliFlHTvu-firili»rilTicir neck. Narrowly escaping severe injury in the death struggle that followed, nil hut fainting with nervousness' and conflicting emotions, tho brave girl followed this blow with others no Jj*.s tolling, When the still quivering, hut no longer murderous creature hud been reduced to nb~oluto impotence the entire hou>c looked as though it had been wrecked hy vjiiidals, and the weary eoiiipn-iw found herself si.ll'elilig liulli litany bruises.—Womaus Home Companion.

(From Fort' Stpulo rrii^pec-tov). A meeting of the directors of the S.illivun Mining Compaii'' was held at Spokaiie on Wednesday Nov. 9th. The Blanket they will pui on the mine- will be about $400,000. , .Wild Horse creek as a placer mining camp, is making a heller showing than last year, according 10 a statement made by a prominent mining man. Each successive foot diiven in Ihe tunnel of the Koolenay King tivne shows up better than the last. Hilly Myers is satisfied wilh ihe outlook. According to reporls from Tr;i"y creek, work is lo be resumed on the Eslella group ol" mines. No delimit* time has been set for the resumption ol' operations. Heavy stockholders in the Sullivan- mine, who have personally visited the mine- arc well pleased with the property. In fact they were highly enthused und were wearing broad smiles, t until they were assured that it was necessan lo put up another $150,000 before the smeller could be completed, and operations resumed at the mine. The construction of the Kootenay Centra! railway through the Kootenay valley will demonstrate the necessity ^ building the Kootenay, Cariboo and Pacific railway lo connect with the proposed Grand Trunk Pacific. As an indication of the importance of this road, the immense mining, lumbering and agricultural resources of the i.ir mirth are quoted in the summer season reports of it)04. The old placer camp at Perry creek maintains considerable importance as a drift mining district, productive and prospective and bids fair lo become an important lode mining center. Southeast Kootenay is enjoying a irreut activity, especially up Wild Horse creek, Hull river and Pern creek. A large amount of capital is being expended in developing these p trticular sections. —Thcafell-iit tiiTsnjitf"ricT'Enmn"^ contain placer gold is large and onls been touched, leaving still virgin giound well worth prospecting, Il is safe to say that I wo of Ihe greatest silver-lead mines of the woiij aie iu the Fori Sleeie mining district.

Reports from Hull river district says that, the iron deposit on I'enwick mountain is"the largest in the Kool- eiiays; the hematite analysis is from 4S to 67 per cent nictalic iron, with very low phosphorus.
