The Sandon football kickers will perforate the atmosphere in the vicinity of fclocan City on ihe 2nd of July, the (Kaslo Saints and Ihe Silverton Sabbath- breakers will be present. 1 he Relief Committee is catling for lenders for building a plank road up Sunnyside hill. Three lenders have been received up-to-date. Tile award will probably be made on Monday. ; ^ W. H, Lilly, M, L. Grimmett, H. H. Pitts went to Vancouver on Tuesdav to (attend the Masonic Grand Lodge in that city. They will visit Victoria on city aftairs before returning to Sandon. There is plenty of work in Sandon lor journeyman carpenters. The supply ofjackleg carpenters exceeds the demand and nothing but mechanics are advised lo emigrate to these parts. I he C . P, R. survevors hav e heen spending considerable ;uni,i,.��� fines for sidetracks for the new station. 1 he plans are not complete vet and it is impossible to state definitely what the company intends to do. Jim Williamson intends to branch -nit into other lines of business. He will open h fruit and confectionery s-i>re and ice cream parlors and will handle all kinds of summer effervescences. He will probably take a store "i Harris' new block. Robt. Gordon left yesterday a for six- WeeUs eastern tour.

Cambell, who has held down the K. it S. agency in Sandon for the past three years has severed his connection with the companv and leaves for Seattle in a few days in search of a more lucrative situation. Sam is a thoro railroad man and it is safe to say that his talents will not be long unoccupied. He requests his debtors and creditors to settle forthwith in order to facilitate an early departure. A recent dispatch from London says that consternation prevails in the colonial office there owing to the fact that Kaslo boys will not play football on SunJav. It is regarded as an ill omen to the old flag that such patriots as Sam Hunter and Dave Young will play the American game of baseball on Sunday but refuse to participate in the British pastime of agitating an inflated pigskin around a goose pasture. Slocan City is making arrangements for a hot Dominion Day celebratio.l on July 2nd. There will be all kinds of excitement furnished including a football tournament, horse races, boat races, swimming contests, etc. A C. P. R. special will leave Sandon at 0:45 in the morning and return at 10:30 in the evening. If you are not going to visit Paris this summer, fake in the Slocan City blow out. ll is tlu only thing this siJe of the herring pond that will et mpare with it. ing boxes for the accommodation of guests who desire privacy. The hall and stairway goes right through the middle of the building, and in the upper side will be found the bar room, billiard room, club rooms and a barber shop all laid out in the most convenient manner immaginabie. So far only the partitions have been put in on tnis side, but the lathers are doing some rapid work and the plastering will be done next week. Billiard and pool tables, bar fixtures, etc., have been ordered and will be on hand as soon as the builders are thru with their work. Upstairs the building is laid offin 20 large, well- lighted, airy bed-rooms, with a parlor al the front and rear and a corridor office room in the middle of the house. The electricians are now at work doing the wiring. The central switch-board and annunciator will be so arranged that connections with any part of the building can be handled without interfering wilh other rooms. The plumbing will he of the most modern design and the fire-protection feature will be so thoroughly regarded that the holel will he virtually fire-proof. There are 30 mechanics on the building now and more will be put on as soon as room can be found for them. The construction is being rushed thru in order thot the new hotel may be open for business not later than the 14th of Julv, just three weeks from to-day. SANDON REBUILDING. possit has secured a 25-year lease and will put up a line building. The ground floor has already been leased. The lessees are ihe Bank of B. C, Alherlon Co., Ltd., Main Bros., Post Office, Chas. Gales and E. F. McQueen. The construction of this building will have a tendency to centre business in the upper end of the city. Walmsley & McLeod's new Kootenay saloon will he 22 x 50, two stories. It will be a neat and well-constructed building, lacing on both streets. Robt. Cunning's new hotel will be bo x bo. The plans are not completed yet, but "Bob" intends to build another "Sandon" that will in no way discredit the name of the pioneer hotel of the Silver Citv. SLOCAN MINES. THE NEW RECO. J. M. Harris Will Haoe an Hotel that Will Surpass the old one in Comfort and Conoenience. " The new Reco," says J. M. Harris, " will be a far better hotel than the old one. It may not have accommodation for quite as many quests, but it will , tainly be more comfortable and convenient. Come down and take a look at it. It won't cost you anything to look around anyway."' We did. We went down to see it, and this is what we saw. The building formerly occupied by the Hammond Bros. Company is a substantially constructed concern 60x80 feet square. When it was decided to transmogrify the building into a hotel, the building was found to be suitable to the purpose, in size and construction. On the ground floor of the new hotel will be found a dining room 24x60, with Ihe kitchen, pantry, store rooms, ice chest, etc, taking up all the lower Lihe the Mythological Phoenix, it Rises from the Ashes, Larger and Better than Before. The Weah'-J Baildin.^ Neica. E.erybodij is Busy a.id t!ie Tune 0* the Hammer and Sauc Resounds Thruout the Gulch. Mrs. Egan will build a three-story hotel 30x50 feet on the lower skating rink lot. Excavators are at work on the cellar and the debris taken out is being used to grade up along the flume in front of the new Reco hotel. Sandon Miners' Union is figuring on taking a lot below the Reco hotel on which to build a union hall and hospital. Work oh the Filbert building is going ahead as rapidly as possible. The carpenters are now sheeting up the first story. Mrs. McKinnon has the frame work other new building up. She is occupying the lot below the Reco hotel. Work on Harris' office building was suspended this week on account of a shortage of carpenters. Several mechanics arrived from Nelson in the last couple of days and work will be under full swing again today. Fred Donaldson will occupy one of the stores in the Harris' new building. African Avenue is being built up rapidly by speculative land-lords. Col. Bray ton has cleared a street which is to meet the Harris street at the power house. Jake Kelsen has his new store nearly completed and will have his lodging house upstairs furnished today. Bob McTaggart has a gang of graders building trails at the Ruth. Jim Schields is working the Trade Dollar and will ship some ore in the near future. There are three gangs working on contract at the Texas and Reco claims of the Reco group. N. J. Cavanaugh has gone over to Trout Lake to do some work on his Lake creek property. Cavanaugh & Bennett intend doing considerable work on their Copper Cliff property in the Lardeau, but do not hope to get in helore the middle of July. The Last Chance company is figuring on putting an electric light plant. No definite arrangements will be made until Cr. Hendryx returns. There are 85 men on the pay roll now. Manager Heap reports that the new buildings will he occupied within a week. The Minnesota Company's mill is going ahead faster than ever. The heavy timber is now all on the ground, the stone work is practically finished and ihe big mill will commence to take shape in a few days. The Tributary and Miller creek flumes will all graded next week. The tramway right-of-way has been slashed as far as one can see and everything else is going ahead like 1 Kansas cyclone. For the month ending June 18th the company made the largest outlay in its history. The long crosscut tunnel at the Slocan Star has been commenced. The survey shows that it will be just 2100 feet long. The first 20 feet will be thru wash which is very deep at the point of commencement, which is just above the mill. After passing through this machine drills will be put on and the long drive thru hard rock will be accomplished as quickly as possible. The big ore showing in the No. 5 still holds on and the new tunntl will make the Star one of the most valuable properties in British Columbia. Mrs. Jas. Vallance is expected home today from Hamilton. Neil Mclnnis returned yesterday from the Boundary country.

The river of printers' ink is a black and inuddv stream, hat it has clarified the human mind and washed the soul clean of many superstitions.���I nity. This I moreover hold and dare Affirm where'er my rhyme may go: Whatever things be sweet or fair, Love makes them so. ���Alice Carey. Religion itself means intolerance The various sects tolerate nothing but their own dogmas. The priests call themselves shepherds The passive thev drive into their folds. When they have folded you then they are satisfied. thev know vou fear them; if you stand aloof, they fear you. Those who resist thev consider as wolves, and. where they have ihe power, stone them to death.���Percy Bvsshe Shelley. Every advance in science, every improvement In the command of the mechanical forces of nature, every step in political or social freedom, has risen in the first instance from an act of skepticism, from an ancertainity whether the forinulus. or the opinions. or the government, or the received practical theories were absolutely perfect, or whether beyond the circle of received truths there might not lie something broader, deeper, truer, and thus better deserving of acceptance of mankind.���.lames Anthony Fronde. Only two theories of the springs of action in humanity have ever been promulgated. One is the rational theory which we call hedonism nnd which r'ghtlv recognizes that pleasure and pain are and must ever be the solo guides of voluntary acts for all sentient beings, be they pig's or philosophers, saints or starfish The other is the irrational theory, taking its origin in theological concepts (though with cheap imitation thinkers like Carlyle it often outlives its source)���the theory which maintains that the universe wns created by one or more superior beings who hate pleasure and love pain, or who dispense them hy caprice.and who desire that some or all of their creatures should Buffer abundantly. This is the theory so well set forth (though by a sum, optimist poet) in Caliban upon Set����.hn>; it lies -,t the root of all religious think in_*. and in its rigoronslv logical de- Vf.lopmpnt it is known to us as Calvinism ���Grunt Allen. SINGING SAND. Investigation made by officers of the life-saving service have showed that samples of singing sand could be tound in twenty-six places on the American coast Testimony received from other points lias more than doubled this number of instances One of the most, remarkable and also best known instances is that on the bench nt Manchester, Mass., where the sand for about, one-fifth of a mile gives our a distinct sound when it is walked upon, or even when it is ���irrod with a rod or cane A stick driven into the sand violently will elicit a sound that can be heard 140 feet a wav. above the mar of the sea. The singing sand mav occur in comparatively small patches in the midst nf nrtlinury Mild; it always occur between the limits ol high and low tide; the same sand does not produce sound at all seasons, nor does it always give forth like sounds; when it is wet it will not emit sounds When samples are transported in bags, they lose their somuMngi^ver but retain it when carried in hatttal. The leading theory concerning ��W ov friction between the angular particles, and the conditions necessary are believed to be perfect dryness uniformity ot grain, Wing from one-fifth to one-tenth of an inch in diameter, and freedom from dust.

"The promise exacted from the contracting parties, that they will live together till 'death do part,' whether the union prove to be "for butter or for worse.' is in the last degree revolting to a person whose dislikes are terse It is simply pieposterous to demand a promise of that sort of two individuals who cannot possibly foresee the probable alterations in their temper and temperament brought about by the inevitable change in their habit-., cares, and environment generally To compel the fulfilment nl Ihe promise is monstrous If; under certain -tnlling conditions and upon tin* payment of a price, the promise mav bo m-I a-ide. what gross absurdity t<> require it ' "The law by causin** the wife tn be dependent on the. husband for even the common iu*e**ss;iries of life, KUhjitctt* her to his will, just ������'.- truly as tin- tiny laborer is subject to his muster (em plover).

Many reports which come down Parliament are a confused jumble of lures and words, and it is therefore resiling to pick up a document from lich, almost at a glance, one can ,p the salient points. The nature of grievance is well known. The pule arose over the hours of labor of ��� miners, ihe rale of wages, and the portation of aliens to take the place jtlu* strikers. One can well underbid the tremendous interests involved looking at the very careful summary Jtlu* extent of the mining industry of lit hem British Columbia which Mr. ii e gives. He estimates the number linen who were employed Oil 1 st of li 1 ar)' last (coal miners excepted) at too men, and the amount actually rested at over $30,000,000. I Mr. Clute secured a ma-s of testi- inj from miners and mire managers 11I with a view to preventing the jtual stoppage of work in the future, jlh the heavy loss it entails on both pployerand employed, he suggests le passage of a Conciliation Act by the ler.il parliament.

His first duty would to bring the parties together, and to Icertain the nature <*f the difference Itweetl them. He would also have ���wer to act where he deemed it ad- il*>le immediately upon becoming kv.uv of a dispute, without formal re- test of either party. This power is [ggested in order to avoid any delay the inception of labor troubles, hich, unless prompt action is taken, Ben leades to ihe widening of a hvch between masters and men, and Ken renders future attempts at condition difficult if not abortive. The Jnciliator, Mr. Clute thinks, should given a free hand, and be authorized invite assistance from the represen- ttves of the opposing parties. Trail Smelter Contracts. The Trail smelter is making a de- Irmined hid for the privilege of treat- Ig Slocan ores. An important contact has been signed with the Knter- [ise company for the entire output of at property.!

C, JUNE 23, iqoo. Hugh John Macdonald has undertaken to make Manitoba a prohibition province. He has a large contract on his hands and will probably fail. His scheme is to shut up the saloons, and to refuse anyone permission to handle booze retail, altho wholesalers and manufacturers may go right straight along. Hugh John has done what every other prohibitionist has done before him. He has missed the mark. He has not recognized that the way to stop people getting drunk is to remove the element of profit which makes it an object for some men to sell others the tanglefoot which produces the jag. It is not for love of the whiskey that most men get drunk. It is the treating system and the "come-all-ye" sociability of the saloon that makes boozerino easy to take. There are saloons enough in New York to make a street seventeen miles long. The probabilities are that if the Croton aqueduct were connected with the St. Louis distillery there would not be a saloon to every seventeen miles of street. If whiskey were as free as water no one would injure himself with it, for the simple reason that there would be no sociability about buying it and no profit in selling it. If the government took over the whiskey business in Canada tomorrow it could sell the commodity so cheap that no one else could stay in the biz. According to the most reliable statistics, good rye can be made for 12^ cents a gallon. Were the government to take over the booze factories it could sell a high grade article in public dispensaries at 25 cents a gallon. If the corn juice were handed out to the public at two bits per, the cost of the article could not injure anyone financially, and there would not be one man in fifty with enthusiasm enough to get past the first gallon. The prohibitionist who undertakes to dictate to his fellow man how strong he shall go in the hooray line is ndoubtedly out on a limb ; but the government which ndertakes to transact the whiskey business for the good of the country and the betterment of its morals is out on a proposition so legitimate that politicians do not care to tackle it. The latest from Rossland : "Fawncy, the deah gove- naw defeated by a mob of hoodlums and muckahs." The insurance companies doing busines in Kootenay towns have raised the rates to 7^ and in some cases 10 per cent per annum. If it were rent they were charging, or interest on a speculative loan, their rates would be about right. As insurance rates they are simply daylight robbery. It is about time that the municipalities in this country took this matter up and forced the# insurance companies to run their business on a reasonable basis or quit. There is not a city in Kootenay that could not carry its own insurance with safety to its citizens and profit to the city. Municipal insurance is driving the old line companies out of business in other parts of the world, and it could be made a success in Kootenay. Insurance companies have no vested right to gouge the public, and the public should shut them off. Printers in Rossland now have an eight-hour day. Tj,. demand was acceded to by theemployers without demur. The typographical union in Rossland is fortunate in having all the members of the craft on its roll, and all the offices are "fair." So long as all conform to the hours and scale there is no undue advantage in competition and both employer and employee are benefitted by the short day. There are a few printers in Nelson, Kaslo and the Slocan who are not members of the union. These should be gathered in and a district scale for an eight-hour day instituted. A typo who cannot edge up a day's string in eight hours is not much good, and an office which will not pay the scale is too rattv to exist. The political jackpot at Victoria seems to be getting more tangled than ever. Mclnnes called on Dunsmuirto form a government. Dunsmuir called in Turner and Eberts ; then the three joined in requesting Mclnnes to quit as he was burdened with inferior political sagacity, Mclnnes refused to resign ; Laurier fired him and appointed Henry Joly, a man who has come through thirty years of liberal politics with a character. In the meantime Duns- muir goes right along appointing cabinet ministers and now has a full crew, with Prentice, Wells and Mc Bride in the swim. Garden refused to be called in thru fear that Martin would down him if he went back for re-election in Vancouver. The conservative element is bucking, and swear they will not support a rehabilitated Turner government. They want to get the government in their own hands but are afraid to make a move that might precipitate another election. To hold them in line Dunsmuir has promised to make it a ten-day session at which all contentious legislation will be side-tracked and Turner has agreed to pass in his portfolio at the end of the seance. But this amiable arrangement does not suit Joseph, and with his seven solid apostles and as many legislative mavericks as he can add to the bunch he promises to make life interesting in the neighborhood of the marble palace at Victoria. In the meantime the Provincial Party people seem to be slightly overlooked, and altho Mc Bride and Wells, strait P. P.'s, and Prentice, the Lillooet hurdle- jumper, have been taken into the cabinet the Provincials as a party appear to be white checks. Just where such elected-by-labor men as Ralph Smith, John Houston and Bob Green will find themselves is not easy to guess. They were elected to oppose the Dunsmuir-Turner-Conservative element, but yet to have no affiliations with Martin. Altogether it is a pretty bad tangle and anything like a precedent has not recently been discovered. The sequel to the present act will probably be found in another election at which the people will asked to choose between Martin and the Turner-Conservative crowd. Elections are not desirable events, but until the people can decide what thev want there is no other course open. If it is to be Dunsmuir, then let the people elect Dunsmuir ; if Martin, let them elect Martin. Hybrid governments are not representative They are no good. Green. Ralph Smith and Kidd, at the Vancouver convention of members opposed to Joseph Martin, reserved for themselves the right of independent action. I" ��ther Wir a they W0U,d n0t ���� on record as bein# in any Wa) allied to Dunsmuir or the conservatives, altho thev were willing to assist in putting thru such legislation as is immediately necessary. This should be a sufficient answer to they who would make believe that Robert F. Green stood ready to accept a cabinet position with Dunsmuir. THK PAYSTREAK SANDON, B. C. JUNK 23- E. R- ATHERTON Co..

"Now, boys,'' said tbe Sunday-school teacher, "our lesson to-day teaches us that if we are good while here on earth when we die we will go to a place of everlasting bliss. But suppose we are had, then what will become of us?" 'We'll go to a place of everlasting blister," replied a small boy at the foot of the class. Nice little boys are always the subject of friendly interest, but no one ever knows wliat kind of an answer to expect from them when questioned "You are a nice little boy," said a kindly old gentleman to a bright youngster of live; "have you any brothers?"

The Bishop of Lichheld was out riding ie Sunday, when bis horses, which bail become tired* from the great distance between churches, gave out, and he concluded to walk to a railway station. On his way he met a crowd of men squatting together on the ground, and he stopped to say a few words to them. "Well, my good men," he said, "What are you' doing?" "We bin a- loyingV replied one of the men. "You are lying?'' said the bishop, "I do not understand you.'' "We bin a-loyin'," again said the man. "But what do you mean?" "Why, yer see, one on us has fun a kettle and we bin a try in'who can tell the biggest loy to have it " "Trying to toll the biggest lie?" exclaimed the bishOp, "what a shocking thing." Aud then the bishop told the men that he had always been taught that one of the greatest sins was to tell a lie. The men listened patiently, but presently ine of them, who had been looking intently at the bishop, suddenly exclaimed on bearing him say thnt he never in his life told a lie, "Gie th' governor the kettle, gie th' governor the kettle."

A return of the negro to slavery is the remedy proposed by the Rev. H. Frank for race troubles In the South. "Judging from the history of the m-gro for over four thousand years," he says, "we are forced to assert that Ihe most fortunate circumstance that ever befell him was his enslavement on American soil, and the consequent moral discipline it bestowed upon him. His native sluggishness, the evidences of his gradual extinction since his enfranchisement, bis imperceptible improvement since liberation, his startling lapse into barbarism, all must incline thinking people to conclude that the freeing of the negro has proved a disastrous failure. I contend that the negro requires for bis own sake, as well as that of society, moral and legal restraint. He was a safer man when he was a slave than he is as a citizen. A new system of voluntary and penal servitude should be instituted, both for his protection and development and that of the nation. A section of country should be set apart to which all negroes would be permitted to voluntarily migrate, and there yield themselves as slaves to such persons as would agree to possess them, give them humane treatment and education. If such an invitation were to-day extended to the negroes of the South I venture to say hundreds of them would gratefully accept. Settling the Difficulty.
