The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

No one imagines, of .course, that they are actuated by' other than motives of extreme loyalty fo the Sovereign and institutions of the ''country. Yet, ,soine of us are cruel enough to repeat, tlie proverb '-Can the leopard change his spots or ,the Kl hio- pian his skin." or, it is'addell, the .Chinaman his "peculiai ity." Here-' nftei'the Chinese Vole xvill be ,i factor in elections and intending political aspirants xvill probably feel under necessity to cultivate it..

The balance is to be spent as requited in public works at discretion of the House. , The fitst of the schemes to' be asD sisted, that of Penticton-Rciundary Creek road, is, it, lias been understood, already assisted by a 20,000 acre per mile land grant to Augt.'Heinze. Other charters too, as tbe V. V. & E., cover this route. If there is any virtue in charters and land grants-this route is well supplied. Tlie'tbird proposal, from Chillixvack lo tbe Coast, GO miles; cannot lie called a wise one.' "Such a road would be 'paralleling tbe open 'waters , of -the rYaser and taking the agricultural products then' towards the cheapest iind not the dearest niai;ket taking it, westward instead of toxvaids tbe milling camps"to the east. This route has not a land grant as in thecases of tbe other two, ��� which had previously ,acquired them.

It is easily recognized as . the, attenuated ghost of tlie British Pacific but is not nearly "as objectionable as was tiie original. Yet it has some disagreeable features such as bemusing it in money with an already allowed land grant of 20, OOOwicies per mile. Tts nominal put pose is of course to open up the northerly portion of this province, an object xvhich lias generally tbe Mail's heaities't support. But is this paiticular line tbe best xvav'to do it? It runs through an almost, entirely unknown county and is adnu'ttedlx experimental. If the Gox eminent'.-' sole, purpose is to opi-n up the gica't, northern .country (and ,if ,tbey' liaxe open minds in the matter the AI wi. ! would suggest that a much more xvoi thy route would be via the Upper Columbia valley. .Such a line can be run into Cariboo points'in much about tbe. same distance as tbe Butte Inlet- O.iiesnello road,takes; it, would panllel a mineral belt of demonstrated quality all lbe way, and would have a transcontinental road as a base at Revelstoke.
