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.

Address/ MUNN & CO��������� SXVf YOUK, ."161 H-.'tt.v.t On the 3rd of December last, Mr. Hunie.M.P.P. fur Southern Kootenay, askeil leave to move in the Provincial Legislature the following preamble and resolution: ', That whereas, owing 'to custom, the Indians of the State "of Washington, in the United States, do annually come into British Columbia and hunt along the Columbia Hivcr and Arrow Lakes, and by so doing exclude the Indians of Kootenay, in British Columbia, from following the chase in those parta of tho Proviuce'above- incntioncd : n ' ' And whereas there are known cases of the maltreating of settlers along said river and lakes:' , i Be it therefore resolved/that an humble address be presented to ������His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor, praying* him to move the .Dominion Government to takec,such, steps as may be deemed, advisable with tho United States Government to' exclude these Indians from crossing the international boundary. A few days later when the resolution came up fcn- discussion, although both of the'members for West Kootenay were prepared to offer their views upon it, tthe Speaker put the resolution to a vote withoutgiving the gentlemen an opportunity to be heard. ,It was adopted without objection, and without a knowledge of the .reasons which influenced its mover in offering it.< Since a session of Parliament is about to'be held, during which action may be taken to carry out the prayer'of the resolution, the time is opportune to present some of the facts upon 'which it is based. These are found in the attitude of the Indians on the Columbia River towards the whites who have made efforts to settle and get a living there. We have interviewed several of the settlers a.id give herewith the iu- formation obtained : ��������� Samuel B./Diowle says :, I took up a ranch in the spring of 1887, and raised a crop of vegetables. I did not gather them, but left them under the snow till the spring of 1888. When I went to take caie of them I found the Indians had been there and taken all the crop and had planted potatoes for a new crop. In the fall they came aud told me to get off the, land, it belonged to them. They stole all my implements and , household' things, and damaged me for $150. My place was a beaver meadow, good ground for cultivating, hunting and trapping for two or three families. They went to see the Government Agent, but did not further trouble me. Evan Johnson settled on the N. E. Arm four years ago. A family of Indians named Christ ion claimed the right of the river for trapping and hunting, and the land I had taken up. I shot a cariboo that swam across the Arm, and four Indians came' and carried it off. I let them go without objection, but one came back with a piece and was mad because I would not give him a dollar for it. Several other tricks they did on the land, but nothing very serious. Capt. Robert Sanderson says: I came into this part of British Columbia in 1885, and have been connected with steamboat navigation on the Columbia River for six years. Dining this time I have had the opportunity to see much of the Indians that trap, hunt and fish, and in the summer and fall live on the river in considerable numbers. During the summer of 1880, four or five "others and myself were cutting hay on the Columbia River at the mouth of the Kootenay. .It was expected that the railway between the Columbia River and Kootenay Lake wonld be prosecuted' the succeeding summer. [While we. were working there a number of Colville Indinns came up the river from the reservation .and brought a band ������if <10 or 50 horses. They turned the horses loose and they amc on to the meadows where we were cutting the hay. We drove them away twice. The head man of the band called on us and objected, saying that the Indians owned all that country, that we must not drive their stock away as they brought their horses up there to pasture. We told them they were Colville Indians, and that we had authority from the Government Agent to cut the hay. The next day while we were absent the Indians gathered and had a horse race on part of the meadow where the hay had not been cut, destroying 'it. One of our men returned alone and expostulated with them, and they made tin eats of trouble. The lemainder of the time we had to watch the ground night and day, and keep the horses driven off. I had a cabin at Nakusp ('reek, on Arrow Lake, which the Indians looted in 1887, and took property .worth probably $50.; In the fall of 1S87, two others and myself were camping at Deer Park with the intention of trap ping and hunting all ^winter. One day eight Indians came and asked us to leave���������said that country belonged to them, and their chief had instructed them to command us to leave. I told them they were Colville Indians and belonged on the other side of the line ; that we were King George men, and intended to stop there that 'winter. As an answer to their threat���������which it really was���������I told them that we were, three good marksmen and would stay there; that the land belonged to King George and not to the Colville Indians. They went away without .disturbing us, probably because of our expressed determination to defend ourselves: ,A!ex. McCleary had a ranch on the west side of the Columbia���������nearly op-' posite Sproat's Landing,' and run the ferry across the river.' Several Indians^ came up,' che river with horses, and coming to his fences threw them down and crossed, his fields, throwing down the opposite fences, when they turned their horses loose and let them destroy McCleary's crops. Judge Spruat sent a constable across who brought several Indians over to have a conference and settlement. He gave them a very decided talk, telling them, that the land belonged to "McCleary and they must let it alone. It had the effect of preventing any further trouble that season. About two years ago two men, who had been chopping wood for the steamers, took up land En the Narrows." One was working alone on the land when two of these Indians waited on him, and pointing to the sun gave him to understand, that if he was there the next1 day when the sun got to the same place he would be killed. The settlers' promptly abandoned their farms. Four years ago last fall the steamer landed a man at Fire Valley with an outfit of provisions, etc., for the winter. The next spring he was not to he found, and has never been heard of since. Some of his effects-^were left there from which it could not be inferred that" he had ' voluntarily moved away. It is believed that he was'murdered by Indians���������some of the most vicious ones were known to have been imthat vicinity. ��������� " ��������� Sanwl Hill says he ha^' been in the Province since 1872,, and worked- at lumberincr, coal mining, on the railway survey, and at mining in Cariboo before coming to West1 Kootenay, where he has been" si nee 1S80. He mined for five years on French and Smith Creeks, Big Bend. In July,*lS03, he went to Galena Bay on Upper Arrow Lake and ,took up a ranch of 160 acres, and immediately set to work making improvements��������� buildinghouses, digging drains, etc.. getting ready for raising crops in 1804. Speaking of his experience with the Indians Mr. Hill said: Iliad not heard of serious trouble from Indians previous to the time when "Cultus Jim "came to my, place in May and ordered me to leave.' He and his squaw came where I was grubbing out land. It was in the morning .while I was on the. way to my work. Tie met me on tho trail, and had an axe and a rifle in bis hands. He struck me on the jaw and two or three times on the chest, and then'raised his rifle on me, and told me if T came another foot he would .kill me. I was alone and did not have my rifle with mo and thought best to go back and get help. T went about a mile and got two men to go with me and a third one to take a message to the telegraph station at Lardeau for Government Officer Graham at. Revelstoke, stating that I had been run off my place by an Indian with a rifle, and asking him to come and help me. I then went back with the two men, taking my rifle along, not expecting that. I h-' Indian would dare attack us, and wont to work again the men assisting me. About 'A p.m. he and the squaw came again, she carrying the rifle and he having a club. Ho .started' towards me'and howled like a wild man. " Didn't I tell you not to come here," he cried. Then he made demonstrations with his club which I warded off with my rifle. He went back and took his rifle from his squaw and pulled it from the sheath and raised it to fire. I waited till this movement and then fired at the'same time. ' The ball from his rifle came sn close to my head that I thought I was hit and must be bleeding. I loaded my weapon again, and fired. He ti ied to do the same but did not succeed ,as my second shot' made him drop to, the ground. Fearing the vengeance of the other Indians we came as soon as possible to Revelstoke.' Tho .Government Agent, answered my telegram some time during the night���������" Tell the Indian to go away or I'will put him in the skokuni house," but it came too late,'and I doubt if it would have had any effect even had it come earlier. Indian runners were sent to Trout Lake, where several of the same tribe were, to let them know what had happened, . and they were heard to say that if I was not hung they would shoot me on' sight. Andy Cuinuiings, at the mouth' of the river, heard them say the same thing. J would like to go back" to my ranch at,Galena Bay, but 'suppose I' would be in danger of being killed by them. ��������� ' ' ��������� W_e have given the above facts relating to Indian depredations on the Columbia in considerable, detail and running thiough several years," although some of them are not of an aggravated character, in' order to sliow- the settled determination'of the Coif ville Indians to claim and enforce their claim to the Columbia River valleyl against all legitimate white settlers; by intimidation "and force,'" '.whicli reached a climax in a pitched'battle in which the Indian lost his life at the hands of tho'man who bad the courage to defend his homo and rights* of��������� property. We think * it. makes a case, deserving the immediate .attention of, both the , Provincial, aud Dominion Governments. Someone is in danger of being ambushed and murdered this summer in revenge for the taking off of "Cultus Jim," a renegade, in his own tribe ; and it may,not. be the man whov caused his death, because one life answers "* as well as another in the ,; Indian's code of,war and retaliation. ' Awarded Highest Honors���������World's Fair DIVISION OF YALE-KOOTENAY. i ______ * ��������� l * Editor Kootenay Mail : 1 Dear Sir,���������Now that another session of the Dominion Parliament' is' about to be held, a well directed and vigorous effort should be made to secure for Kootenay district a representative of its own, separate and independent from Yale and Cariboo. With its rapidly increasing population, ranging between 10,000 and 15,000 at present, and with, every probability of the population in the next eighteen months increasing many hundred percent, nothing should be required but to give an expression of sentiment, to secure from the Dominion Government prompt action in making provision this session for a separate representative for Kootenay. Kootenay district's, population and raining prospects at the time' the last re-distribution was made, did not warrant a separnto representative. Our numbers have rapidly increased, our mining operations have assumed gigan- ,tic proportions, and,are attracting the attention of the mining fraternity the world over. .What action will the citizens of Revelstoke take to start the movement that will cut us off from the apron strings of Yale, and place us on our own rightful and independent footing ? What does the Nelson Tribune and Miner, the Rossland Miner and Record, the Golden Era, the Kaslo Prospector, and the only and original Ledge say to the above proposition 3 ]f they say it is "a go," then let the Dominion Parliament be flooded with petitions from every camp in Kootenay, and we are satisfied that we will have>a separate representative to look after its growing and varied interests for the next term. The representative can be selected by a convention of delegates from all portions of the district. KOOTKN'AY. Revelstoke, April 12, 1895.

Farwoll obtained from the Provincial Government m.my years ago, and which has been the subject of litigation for nearly ten years, going through all tho-high courts of the Province, as wull as of the Dominion, and was on the point'if being appealed to the Privy Council of England, has been confirmed to Mr. Farwell by an amicable arrangement betweeii'the Provinci.il and Dominion Governments. Wo are vet 'without the full details of the settlement, but Chief Justice Davie, who rcpicsenlccl the Province at the confcienoe at Ottawa, had only' time to say to his 111.1113' interviewers on Wednesday as he passed going west, that Farwoll has the Revelstoke townsite ; that the Tk.min- 'io'n (lovcrnment confirms his " Provincial title ; that all1 persons who have bought lots and received patents from, the Dominion will not be disturbed in the possession of''their property ; and that if any differences in money arc to pass either way, the Governments will, settle it, between themselves.

It Has Devoured Millions of Human Ite- lugsi at n Time���������A Ztlver IThloIi ChnnsfU Its lied as EosIIr as a Man Chances His ' Clothut. ~ China has a demon. No matter how unfortunate the Chinese may be in tho war with Japan, tho Japanese cannon and rifles can nover claiin'ras"mnny victims as this demon, which-is as old as China - itself Tho Chinoso niiiy fear foreign o'nc'iuios at times, but they dread their demon always. It id always present. ' ' This demon,is a river, which, fortunately for tho bum.-m race, has not its like on earth. It is known in China as the IIoan;r Ho or Hwang ho, but Europeans usually call it the Yellow river, owing to its very muddy waters. ��������� .Tho IIo.'ing-Ho is one of tin; big; rivers of the world, belonging:' in that telect circle of rivers composed of ,tho Ainu- . ton, tho Mississippi, the Nile, tho Congo, etc. But its big-noss is not its chief characteristic. It has another quality .which turns it into- China's demon and makes it cut holes in Chinas enormous population. The'Yellow river is a fickle stream. It changes its bo-' with the same ease that a man changes his clothes, and when it seeks a' now course there are fewer mouths to feed in China. By seeking a new bed it is not meant that the Yellow driver runs a mile or two awny from its old,channel, as the lower Mississippi sometimes does. It explores reiribus entirely new, for this extraordinary , river In 2,5'.)0 years has emptied' it.self into tho. Bcn"by nine different'mouths. and two of theso have been as much as 350 miles' apart. ' Now yon want to know why this river, even if it' do.As mako wide changes In its course, is called China's Demon. Just imagine that nil thi-i country .between New York aud Norfolk, says tho New York World, and extending far thick into the interior, is a level plain full of cities, towns and yill&xei f:ir more densely populated tbnn any State .n the Union, even hvarmiug with population to a greater extent than '-'the plains of Belgium. All these millions ' and millions of human beings are prosperous find aro Lnsy with their ordinary duties. But the spring rains back in the uioun-' tains hnvo been unusually heavy. No-' body pays any special attention, how- over. . . By and by ttio mighty river which flows across this thickly populated plain begins to got n little muddier and a lit-- tie yellower than usual.- The wator grows decpor and the current swifter. Still nobody is much alarmed, for if the riyer rises too high tboy can easily,move b>.ck out of tho way. But i*wuy t>ack ,a thousand miles in the interior, where tho waters of tho river llovv down from the mountain and en tor tho plain, there is a curve in'tho channel. The swollen torrent, as it swihhes around the curve, beats against, the bank. Under tho impact of th������ great volumo of water the bank caves away. D.iy and night huge cakes of earth are dropping down, and the protecting bank rapidly grows smaller. The( water rushing down from the mountains boar on it perpetually. c Some night, with a crash, the last of the bank falls, in. The whole rivmr'de- sertt the old channel, pours into tho new, and oil it goes at a groat wit'le from its former course, sweeping across tho plain, a boiling, raging, irresistible, muddy torrent, beating down everything in its course,. carrying away villages and towns and rushing on to the tea, its wide torrent covered with houses, human bodies and the other wrecK ot" a e.warming populitinn. Ju..i im -gine, if you can', Mmii a thing as this happening in our d'-vii country, and you will comprehend ihe IVmoii of China The Chinese call it "The Sorrow of H.-in." The number of peopio it has drowne 1 in its changes ot course ia \ almost incredible. The Chinese t>ay that j at p. >mgl'' cnange it has cl.u .icd a-j many j as four or iiW millions���������nearly as many as ar.. in the Dominion of Canada. < Nor is tin-' all th������j disaster. Farms ar' do- ttroyed by the floods,- and famine follows, adding countless new . victims to ���������.be list There wa" ono of tlm-ie great floods of the Y'dlow liver about four yearn ago and vast number) of Chinese perished.
