Progress Club Meeting Divided on Best Course to Hopt—Members Voice Opinions-Decide to Await Further Advices—Another Meeting be Called. ■HHHHH The Revelstoke Progress Club met' > in special meeting on Thursday evening at thhe City Hall at 8 p.m. In the absence oi President F. M. Qibson, Vice-President J. D. Sibbald ir., occupied the chiair. Some tweaty members were present when the meeting came to order at 8:30 p.m., but later on tbis number whs increased to some fifty members and others. Ohairman J.D. Sibbald, jr.,—As you nre all aware, this special meeting of tbc Progress Cluh was called to discuss ihe matter of the railway from the North. This meeting is now open Mr. J. 1). Sibbald, sr..—I presume that this meting ha- been called on u-count of something I said at th-?' Inst Board of Trade meeting. It was' decided thnt the matter of the Big llend Railway should come before a larger number of people. Thia country has for 'a number of year6 been promised railways fro.n the south and we need one badly from the north. Wo all know that there is timber enough in the north to keep one railway runn'ng for thirty years; ther.: is land and minerals, making a very large freight, and mak | ing it possible for the railway crossing three transcontinental lines, to act as a feeder to these transcontinental roads, that is the G.T.P., thc I C.N.R., and tha C.P.Ry. Bach of, these roads cro.-ses the river, only be-j Befitting the country touched upon for a few miles, and leaving large quant- j illes of land lying between these lines I whieh should bc tapped. T was in London last Bpring, andj some parties came to mc in relation! to a railway proposition. I them I did not come over with proposition, but I thought I knew something which might he what they wanted. I drafted a road from Tete Ja'uUe Cache down to Northport in Washin;- ton. We went into the matter. I took those parties to see the British Columbia representative in. Loudon, and Mr. Turner said he did not be - lieve there was a better one in the province of British Columbia- After NOTICE • The Annual Meeting of the • Revelstoke Board of Trade • postponed from January 21st, • will be held on Thursday even- • ing, January 3Cth, at 7:30 p,m. • in the City Hall, for co.isidera- •^tion of the Annual Report, Hlec- • of officers and ordinary business CONSERVATIVES HOLD ANNUAL MEETING to take the matter up, und that the only thing to do was to bring it before the government during tho present session, Now you know all about the subject, and it will he left to you lo deal with. C. B. HUME. Mr. Chairman, gentlemen, I do not know that I know very much aboul thc subject, yo l all know a commit - tee waited last year upon the government, also know what was done at that time, and now wc learn that there will be some more legislation i ome In from the government on railway questions. The matter was dis - cussed by thc Board of Trade, and we did not think it was tt sufficiently strong meeting to lake the matter up I am sure we are all deeply interested in tbc opening up of the Big Bend. I ast year wh n we went down we bad great deal of censure because we did not go until too late, and the 1 roposition is. if we are going to taketbe matter up this year with the government, wc should con-ider aad do so early. We might discuss the matter, and perhaps a resolution might be framed, and sent down, I do not think it would do any harm to either send a resolution or delegation, just to remind them that we still mean busi - ness in regard to the Big Bend Railway. R. GIBBONS. I have no message, or any information on tbe subject. J. D. Sibbald, sr.—Had wc any information as to what is goiag on in the present bill we might be able to discuss it, I had a message which led told'n,e *° believe that we might have orVy| known by this time today what wa in the bill, 1 haw, however, received r.o further information. A. J. McDonell—When will the bill be brought down. J.D. Sibbald—It was expected that we might he able to find out whether this railway wa- in the rresent bill or not. but we have received no further information. Mr. T. Kilpatrick is down in Victoria now, and I under stand was approa'hed on th; matter through trunk lines, by asking the trunk lines to build the road and help ing the- road down the Big Bend as they have done in other places. We would like to see something brought down in tbe legislature regarding th^ Big Bend Railway A. J.—McDonell—I do not think our trip to Victoria did harm. I would be in favor o! asking the government ior what we have been already promised, we gain nothing here by .-itting idle. a. a McCleneghan. It was not my intention to say anything, 1 am a little in the dark in regard to this meeting. Personally I feel it would do no harm to ask th- Hon. Thomas Taylor of Mr. McBride i! there is any prosrect o' a subsidy being granted to aline of railway down the Big Bend, we should couple ourselves with no particular line. We expert and hope that the C.P.Ry. will Names Of Promoters he making developments and spending large sums of money in this city and district during the next three years. It is possible, anl the C.P.R. might themselves contemplate coming down the Big Bend. I am personally strong ly opposed however, to the sending down to the government, of a resolution which might contain anything in the nature of a threat or demand. I think we would be well advised if wa -ent a letter to the Hon. Thomas Taylor, asking ii there is anything in store for us during the coming scs - sion. Chairman—The idea would be to Eubsidis? any line which would come down the Big Bend. W. H. Horobin—Of course wc must not lose fight of th? fact that there i- now before the Dominion House an application for a chart -r dowa the Big Bend. Mr. J.D. Sibbald, er.—I have here a i. tier from Premier McBride, in which he requests that we will keep the mat action 1 would like this Progress club to take would be a letter probably to Mi. Taj lor. Af J. McDonell—I would li'.te to see a resolution sent down fro this Progress Club, not a delegation, just to kivp it before the government. The amendment was thin put to the meeting and declared carried by 14 votes to 8. SPECIAL MEETING. Secretary Horobin—1 ihink it would 1 e advisable immediately upon re - ceipt of this iirforma'ticn, to Call a special meeting we cau notify the mem bers through th" press.

Tbis contains the names of the parties making the aPplicatioa, and will doubtless be read wiih the greatest interest by all. The clauses quoted conta'n the vital portions of the act, the balanco being occupied with the usual Limited Liability Clauses. Tbe annual meeting ot the Revel - stoke Conservative Association was held in Selkirk Hall at 7:46 la-t Thursday evening. Tbe hall was well filled with Conservatives. Pnslduit Rand Gibbons occupied the chair, while W. R. Reid of Arrowhead, vi™ president oi th> Ccniral Conservative Asfociation, occupied a si at on the platform.. After culling the meeting to order President Gibbous spoke referring to the unavoidable absenc.t from ths meeting of Hon. Thos. Taylor, who had been prevented from being present by unavoidable circumstances. The Minister of Public Works bad always made it a point to l>e present at the=e annual meetings in thi past and hei regretted very much that he was not here this evening. At thc name of Hon. Thos. Taylor there was loud and prolonged cheers. Preside nt Gihbons then stated lhat owing to the fact that there was another important meeting the same evening he would confine his report to three heads: First—The unanimous return of oar member last March. Second—The election of Mr. R. F. I'.reen to the Federal house. Third—And th- annual convention at Revelstoke which did this city a great deal of good. All who attended stating that they hai been well ir. ated.— Loud applause. Mr. Gibbons continued in part as follows—My term of office has expired when handing over tbe rein-* of offlc<>. 1 wi-h to express my sincere thanks to all tbe officers of thu Association. (specially to Mr. J. H. Armstrong, vice-president of the Association, who has proved more than equal to the Whereas a petition has been present- task before himf He has carried on ed praying that it be enacted as bere the work in my abssnee ia a highly inafter set forth, and it is expedient satisfactory manner. —Loud applause. to grant the prayer of the said peti-1 President Gibbons then stated that thin';. we somebody ibis we further discussed the matter, and ahout that time came in thc proposition of a to" being charged thru' Panama, for wheat taken outside the United States. I appeared that if tbis road could be cut to the point were demonstrated, it could join the before he left for the i oast. R. GORDON R. Gordon—I have no information 1 that would be of any use to the meeting tonight. Taking the matter as I ; size it up. I would consider any ae- I tion on the part of the Progress Club at the present time would be very ill advised. La-t -prir.g wc had „ strik er.R. or Canadian Northern, and place wheat at Portland, Oregon, and carry same in American bottoms thru in Canadian North which would nol allow of him doing anything for another road. I took these parties to him and be told them exactly the same thing excepting that he said "hc might be able to know in July whether any change would made in the program, as he expected to commence work then on a survey down the river, and he told the parlies they would have to put up a deposit within thirty days, and they expressed their willingness to do so and they would have their surveyors on the ground within that time. We have not got anything done at all on the Big Hind Road up to the present moment, and T think a- expressed to me the other day I met parlies nnd men who nre in sympathy willi the government and they snid it wns up to the people of Rev.Istoke Ui get that railway started, and that the government having arrangements with the Oanadian Northern, that the with the minds at the present lime we would l>e worse than th ■ proverbial mill" to repeat thj fame thing. The pioposal as I undersiand it is to tend a del" - gation to Victoria to demand of the' government the construction of a railway between the liues of the C.N. R. and thv G.T.P. now being con - Btructed, and Revelstoke'. Any of us that have seen anything at aU about the construction of railway^ In Western Canada know that it i= not a good thing to run what is a mere spur road between two trunk lines. It is only a matter of time until the trunk road- will cither kill that road or own it my opinion is that we must wait until one of the trunk lines buiid the road Mr. C B. Hum.—I have not yet lieen able to see what harm was don.' by the delegation which went to the coast la-t yeai. We are not trying to force anjiiody.it la a que-tion of asking, anl tho-e who ask, generally receive. The government themselves have already re. ognized the Big B.-nd Railway, by mentioning same in spee .lies from the platform, an.l also thru Premier McBride addressing he delegation at Vi toria. We propose that ih.- govi ' ■ ho .1.1 do -nmcihine ter before him, 1 ho not (ould do better than send down ihere. R. GORDON I take exception to thai, Mr. Sib - I aid has a letter personally addressed to himself, but there certainly is no request on record from thc Premier io thiB Progress Club asking us to keep thi- matter heroic him. RESOLUTION Mr. J. D. Sibbald, sr.— I move a resolution "That as information was expected to be available from Victor ia in relation to the railway proposition, but wTiie-h information is not to band and in order to decide upon Fome line of action, that thia iiveting te adjourned until Saturday evening at 8 p.m." Sce-onded by Mr. A. J. McDonell. AMENDMENT. Mr. Theo. Wadman—I move un amendment "That the secretary le in - gt rue ted to write the Hon. rhouin • Taylor in regard to ibe matter an.l that Mr. T. Kilpatiick who is now at the coa-t, be requested to have un interview with the Premier." Bee - ended by Mr. H. J. McSorley. Mr. McSorley—In seconding that resolution of course we have a lot of different opinions as to what we Ft ould and should not do. We have had a Progress Club for something like a Vear now. and I think we have cone a lot of good for the city. 1 think that pos-itdy my idea ol thing along thi- line would possibly be ., letter to Mr. Taylor, and I consider we have a lot of workto do in this club, and I do not think we should take up matters i oncerning which there is such 0 diflcrencs of opinion, too strongly. 1 do not like the idea of resolutions or action from tion: Therefore His Majesty, by and with the advica and consent of the Senate and House of Commons of Canada, enacts as lollows:— 1.

Thu , in the borough of Dermondsey with 19,000 housns and a population of 130,000, only 121 housts are fitted with bathrooms and most of these are in drinking houses, The medical officer of health for Toplar, another thickly populated district, jocularly declares that he "never heard of such a thing as a bath," in his borough, while the borough of Stepney la no better off. In many instances where enlightened landlords have Installed baths in the homes of the working classes, they have be: n loo'led upon by tbc tenants iu the light of la'mntalile waste of Rpaeo, A Lambeth borough councillor states that in forty houses erected for the use of workingmen an Inspeition shows lhat on'y :-ix houses were th- baths used for purposes of ablution. In every other ease the bathroom was utilized as a coat ro un or for the reception of rubbish and lumber. There were even cases in which thc baths were used as homes -for ducks or rabbits. • B.

Public I 0 p p merit Ths government will introduce this session a bill to create a department or public bealth. Hon. Dr. Roche, Minister of Interior, has for years been interested in national problems of health, and the work of preparing a bill has been placed in his hands nnd the hands of Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, under whose department the present branch of public be.i! h lies. At present the several departments are undertaking different bran lies of public bealth work, and the work is naturally done in a more or less haphazard manner. For instance quarantine is loo'.ced after by th? Minister of Agriculture, the inspection of Immigrants is handled ly the Minister rf Interior, and th? lure fcols act is administered by the Minister of In'nnl Revenue. While ih^ scope of the bill has not yet b. en definitely settled, some of the fields of work which it is proposed to allot to the new depa-tment. and wbich Dr. Ro -he is considering, are thc following: Sanitary advice to municipalities, qu.iran ine, th- health of employees of public works, the coi- ic ling of v;ial statistics, the adulteration of fool, the sanitary and medical side of Indian affairs, the medical inspection of immigrants, the operation of sick sa'iien's and marine hos- pita's and the supervision of a National Bacteriological Laboratory at ieet", Ottawa.
