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.

At six o'clock yesterday morning a large quantity of ice came down from Lake St. Louis and jammed up against the Victoria bridge. In a few minutes the water began to rise and in a short tune 'had reached the top of the dyke built after the last great flood which has baen up to the present a sufficient protection. The water, came suddenly and those in danger of flooding had no warning. At first carts were pressed into service, and, warned by the experience of years ago) people began removing their pianos. In a short time the carts were driven out of business and it became possible to navigate all that portion of Verdun in the neighborhood cf the Queen's park with boats. All the teams that could be piessed into service were engaged in strengthening and raising the dyke. At six o'clock the water had reached a depib of six feet on the streets.

Hotel nillw In EiiRlunil. The author of ''Portnpil Old and New" finds fault with English hotel keepers for using n printed form of bill on which the plain requirements of a simple traveler are lost amid a multitude of items. The resuit is that when a guest pays for a day's and a night's lodging he is positively almost ashamed at finding due registry of his having wanted neither liquors nor stationery nor warm baths nor douche baths nor shower baths nor pots of jam nor the hotel hairdresser and is apt to reflect what a poor sbullling impostor of a guest he is to have had so few requirements. Ked Flannel Cnrrencjr.' A Scotch missionary to a group of small islands in'the south Pacilic a great many years ago found bits of red Uannel circulating as money. This currency came to them iu a curious manner. The body of a shipwrecked sailor had drifted ashore, and to the untutored savages, who had never before seen clothing of any kind, his red tlan- nel shirt was an object of wonder and admiration. By common consent tliey cut the garment into small pieces, which thenceforth became the currency of the Island. Vancouver, B. O. Sllit-htly Different.

J Mr. Retallack pointed out that the /.inc question 'was''not on all fours with that of lead. There* was no duty oh zinc, theie was on lead. The chief question with the zinc men was, can we pioduce the character of material that is demanded by American and Europtan plants? Just what ores are wanted in Europe there was a good deal of doubt about. We did 'krio w what the , American plants'required, and what the,,miners asked now was aii inquircy into the gc'neial character of our /.inc ores. The treatment ���������of /.inc oi cs was not uniform like that ot lead, and we require more light on the subject. If a bonus was tb be granted it must go either to the, producer or to the smelteimen. The mining men had under the circumstances' stated that they did not Avan't n bonus a't the present time, but rather a special expert report which would be of, great benefit to the industry at large.
