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.

FOREST FIRES. if .Mike Carlin Suggests Means of Handling Them. Messrs I-". W. Jones, Carlin and Mc- Cormick a'reat the coast in connection with lumber legislation. ^ Of the proposal to inaugurate a pro- ���������vincial forest lire brigade, Mr. Carlin is an ardent advocate. "1 think,"said he, speaking of ihe subject last evening, "it is a teivice that is very much needed. 1 believe the federal and local governments L could co-operate with advantage in perfecting such a system.'" Al the present time, he explained, there is a piotective service, under federal supervision, on the Dominion lauds along the Canadian Pacific Railway belt, which extends for twenty mile- on either side of the track throughout the province. This terri- toiy i= divided iiuo districts about twenty miles in length, each of which is patrolled hy a ' fore.-t ranger. The only troiihle is, said Mr. Carlin, that the territory which the.-e rangers have to cover ia too large. The force is too small for the work they have to do. The expense of thi' service i- borne jointly hy the government and the lumbermen. The rangers' salary is contributed partly by the government and partly by the niillmen and the uwners of timlx-r limit", assessments being made and collected by the govei nment at so much per mile of the holdings. The niillmen, Mr. Carlin says, are more than satisfied with this arrangement, the only complaint being that thc service is insufficient. "We would like very much," laid he "to see the provincial government take the matter up. I think the Dominion and the province could work Ob ';>;l fl ,_ . '1(, C. B.

HasSerious Effects on Settlement on B. C. Lands. A leading settlei tells a coast paper thc lcsult of allothese'imposts is that the farmer-who has 160 acres>of land, of which he is,possibly using 30 or -40 acres, is in some cases taxed as high i as $-100 a yea i*,' a levy so enormous thatdf the government persists in its designs theie will necessarily be a heavy exodus fiom the, valley > and abandoned farms with then accompanying desolation "will mark the, place whcic once "the country smiled.'' .'���������There are not twelve settlers in the valley," says Mr. II. Webb, one of the oldest of the pioneer*,''-who can afford to pay the taxes. Jt means that'after spending yeais in making homes we must simply get out and leave our holdings." -According to Mr. W. U. Brown theie is a great deal of excitement up the Fraser over the proposed dyking assessment, which threatens many of the settlers with total ruin. To what extent the general taxes have heen raised by the ''first .Conservative government'' in the rural districts the I long and loud complaints uf the' agricultural classes all vince' amply testify. If, however, Premier McBride has whipped .the farmer everywhere, with" whips^ he has laslied the Chilliwack farmer, with scorpions for, in addition to the ordinary taxes; the dyking assessment offered to see'Manitoba's 'boundaries were extended if separate school were partially'restored to Manitoba. - , Liberals' at ,Ottawa, claim Premier Roblin has been dickering for a year with Sbarretti to amend the Manitoba 1 A Good Suggestion. r . .

Victoria, the picturesque capital of Biitish Columbia, is. soon to have a great modern hotel that will give tiavellers arriving from the Orient good first impressions. It is a C. P. R- hotel,1 ancl will adorn the reclaimed area hack of the King Ed- waul Causewaj, and between the Victoria postoflice and the imposing pile making up the Legislative and Government buildings of the British Columbia Government. The site until a little more than a year ago was a pestilential and malodorous tide Hat, reclaimed after a massive cut stone retaining wall had replaced tho historic James Bay bridge. The new hotel will involve a total expenditure of over one million dollars, the contract for the superstructure alone being $500,000. The new hotel will be in'all respects one of the handsomest and most modernly appointed in western America, its only compeers in Canada being the Chateau Front- enao at Quebec and the King Edward at Toronto. Tlie contractors have just completed the work on the foundation. There are almost thirty- four miles of piling under the foun- - dation, and on this piling rests CERTIFICATE OF IMPROVEME MS NOTICE.

The CITY AFFAIRS, voting on the, bylaw ,to FOOL LEGISLATORS. When the legislatuie. which is being conducted at great expense to the taxpayers, has to be made the plaything of such .nonsense as Ha vv thorn th waited a mend ment that judges should wear red wigs, it is time legislators of -such calibre ���������were relegated 10 that obscurity from 'which they should .never emerge. - It .is to he hoped when another election comes round 'the borrow $15,000 for improvement of the water and electric .light, plant on Wednesday .revealed tbe fact that, there is a dissatisfaction existing over',the' "administration of' civic affairs. While some of. the. giounds* taken by 'those, opposing ' the bylaw- offer legitimate field for criticism other features of the opposition' were due to misrepresentation which .should not exist.' it becomes our dutv to' review the reasons given by rale- payers for the "manner in which they cast their-votes. - ��������� *- , The ' electric plant ha? cost the city a great deal within , the p.ist eighteen months owing .to break- * * , 1 , . *-* downs, and it , is contended these" could have bt-en .* a voided - with proper precautions. No doubt they .could, and that feeling has given rise to the demand that before any moie money is spent in improving the iilannt -hall he placed in the lia ml- of an expert electrician. Those who lake tliis suunl, 'however, overlook the fact thnt the plant has been greatly over-loaded, and it was a question of the council refusing'to grant any more .lights, and thus lose' revenue, or-cut off the street lights and those supplied free to the school and other city buildings,andsupply only the lights .There'are certainly several stree.ts which should have sidewalks, but there appears to lia've been serious misrepresentations regarding the proposed' lioulevarding, as . the council 'never proposed to undertake this expense. The 'proposal, was this work should' be done by the owners of the/lots fronting the respective - streets', the council merely making a' regulation as to the width and distance, from the sidewalk, a.nd moving the side.walks and electric light poles' out"to enable this to be done. Everj'ratepayer who has the ibest interest of the city at heart will, we are ' sure, agree' the city should do all it reasonably can to' encourage the beautifying of the streets by the citizens themselves providing,,the citv treasury is not called on to( bear the expense of ��������� improving priyate'property. The city is now in a serious position. " In view of the vote, if the plant breaks down again, the council, will no't be 'justified "in going tb the expense of repairing it without submitting the matter to the ratepaj-'ers, and .the'1 large sum spent by tbe city" in this plant must' remain unremiinerative'while the interest'on the debentures continues, until the-mandate of'the ratepayers is obtained. Then as matters now stand the city is 'pro- hibitedfrom increasing theefliciency of its lighting plant to cope with' the growth of the town, and the streets 'may have to remain in darkness. *c A policy", of-this kind- cannot fail to be most injurious both to^the citty'-itself and to ,its credit in"-placing debentures -for future needs. -While thepolicy of the council may have been open to criti'- cism we feel that the ratepayers in voting down the bylaw have given themselvesca slap'in the face, and tbe stand-tliey have taken is creditable neither to themselves nor to tbe city as a whole. Right now is ihe time to thresh the matter ,ou[. and we i-hould like to see the mayor and: council place the position' entirely in the hands of the'rate-,, payers., holding a' public : meeting to fully discuss' municipal affairs. This is the -only- y. wa'y -wc can' see 'at present of -clearing a sultry 'atmosphere' and .arriving"1 at , a clear-cut decision as to whether it is the wish of the ratepayers the city should advance or retrograde.'

As citizens ���������of the most favorably located and (brightest .business,town in B. C. it is -,to be ''regretted thai we are also,,a spasmodic community. In the article referred to you asked us to think, and if possible ascertain where wc are at. ���������Sir, did you ponder over what might- .be the result of our taking such a ��������� 'bold step as to think? Those who ���������think generally act'wisely. Hereto- ���������fore it has been our custom not only -to permit, but to depend, and even -expect two or three to do the whole -���������thinking foi us and in the absence of .-a stated salary for supplying gray ���������matter, we have left the remuneration jit the discret ion of the vendors. Can we blame them then if they, indirectly, vote themselves returns coniniensti- xate with their own estimate of ���������services rendered ?, But you may ask "What compensation has our brain Biipplyers received'.'" and I might reply by saying "All that was left," for, those who have not been ruminating, but simply paying excessive taxes and sighing,'nave had mud, yes sir mud, with an occasional change of sand, right to their very front doors. Don't mistake this for western slang, for many of your readers know it to be a cold, damp fact, - It has been stated ''if you give a calf rope enough it will hang itself," and since you have called us up, we are reminded how much men ^ are like animals. For some time have been attached to our city ropes a few cf our thinking aldermen, resulting in a demonstration at'last council meeting of their ability to perform not only the quadruped's act referred to but the Judas accomplishment as well, and in the absence of the mayor and ���������two aldermen abrogated to themselves the power to repudiate the only member of their body elected by the whole | Our correspondent is mistaken regarding the boiilevarding pioposition. ipcoplo; then followod this up by a | Tlio city have had under consideration proposition aiming'to use' citv funds to enable them to build boulevards '(for the attornment and enchancement of their own'; individual properties, again forgetting' the many heavily taxed rate-payers'who would be irrate- ���������ful for an ordinary, graded road and common side-walk' to the vicinity of .their homes. ._ ._ , b,' - As to the depot, location, the merits of this matter lia've not been "duly and well considered,, nor would ,there have been, any 'disseiitioii' among tbe ordinary business citizens had it not been that "look"out for the lion" cry for yen know the* most* fearful man- cateis ever contemplated are .really those which ��������� are never seen, and virtually not in existence. in this case there was 'just a porcupine, and of course' everyone .knows that _this animal does Ids'5 business quietly'and brushes up his quills only when disturbed-at close range. Withv a ".very few exceptions, th" petition.' for having the 'depot south of. the track <-was -signed " by every leprctentative in town.' It was even endoised by1 the quiet'workois, .when tbey anticipated that'it would" meiely ���������be presented,to the C.. P. li. officials for their kind consideration,' but ye Gods! when the mayor, t who'thoughb. two tin ns down by that magnanimous corporation weresullicient, under-took to represent the < petitioners befoiv the Railway Commission and push their prayer to a final conclusion, then it was that the quills stuck out, and though they had signed this very petition," the speculators holding lands in the extreme east of town v el'ed.Lion ' , If tliere be any doubts about the methods see how the council vote the extension of streets and side walks to' the "growing part oi the suburbs," and further extensions follow, 'and while this is going on. together with other side street buildings, in the very centre of our town are homes ��������� long since erected,��������� only accessable over stumps, stones and knolls, and-which' are assessed to furnish funds for these outskirt improvements. ' Now J have no personal quarrel with these gentlemen. , They are merely taking advantage of opportunities, and opportunities which always obtain among apethetic tax-payers. Thc result of the vote this week on the money bylaw, however, is an indication that the heretofore drowsy citizens are at'lnst becoming conscious of the situation, and though they will at any time vote through a bylaw for the borrowing of a legitimate amount of necessary funds for city lighting, they will not tolerate expending fund* for boulevards, and unnecessary streets and side-walks merely for the gratification and benefit of a few, and the real position answered yesterday was, "Are we going to vote ourselves into debt $15000, bearing . interest, for electrical purposes when, by the action of" the council, we appear to have sufficient tax monies in our treasury to supply luxuries for at least a few ? " As soon as the council cease summersaulting, and stop making silly motions so as to permit us to think they are not school boys, but may be safe to entrust with the expenditure of monies, we shall vote the requisite.

The voting on the bylaw to borrow 4J!15,006 for improvement of the electric light plant , took * place Wednesday And resulted in the defeat of the bylaw, as a three-fifth majoiity 'was required to carry it. " The 'voting was : . For the bylaw,49. Against the bylaw 37. - ��������� ' The bylaw is therefore, lost and * cannot be again submitted under a , Japse of GO days.

Those lat'epayers object to authorising .any further expenditure on itf under ��������� -present conditions.

Rowland Brittain, patent attorney, Vancouver, reports : - David,' Campbell,, electrician, Vancouver, received last week a Canadian patent on an improved -lamp bulb the construction, of which is designed to afforcLa better reflection surface for the light from the filament. ���������This result he attains by.depressing one side of the bulb within the other part, and by carrying, his filament, round the inwardly projecting portion. -, Tbe inwardly depressed portion can thus be silvered to afl'ord a reflecti ng surface 'and as the silvered portion will be exposed'to tbe outside air it will not be ex'ces- ,. i sively.'heated by tbe filament. , ' John Park and M1.'
