BC Historical Newspapers
The Nelson Economist was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from July 1897 to July 1906. The Economist was published by D. M. Carley, and edited by C. Dell-Smith. In August 1898, The Economist absorbed a paper called The Nation. In July 1903, the title of the paper was changed from The Nelson Economist to The Economist.

No doubt this j- attributable to neglect and all that will bo required to ensure u huaty response in thi* gentle reminder. A N arrangement, which is regarded by some as a * *��� settlement, has taken place between the mine- owners and miners of the Slocan, It is agreed that S3.25 will be paid for a day's work of eight hours. Without outside influences to further disturb the relations now existing between the mine-owners and miners, it may transpire that in a few months both parties to the recent dispute will once more be upon ;riendly terms. Should this prove to be the case, it will Ik: a matter of congratulation to everyone interested in the future prosperity of the Province. In the meantime, the newspapers will be conferring a icreat favor on the community by dropping the agitation. Further discussion will only make matters worse. Last week The Economist expressed the belief that it would be to the benefit of the city if the new wharf was constructed by day's labor. It appears that Mayor Houston and Aldermen .Morrison and MeKillop incline to the same belief, although Aldermen Arthur, Wilson and Hall think otherwise. The tonncr gentlemen take practically the same view as ���Tiii!: Economist, viz : that in performing the work ���hy day's labor, all the money will be kept in the city, uut that a better and cheaper wharf will be constructed 1 he latter three believe the interests of the city would he equally as well guarded by having the work done hy contract.' While we disagree with the latter,'we ;u*e not disposed to regard their contention as other than conscientious expressions of opinion. But the more the matter is investigated, we believe the more assurance our citizens will have that in constructing the wharf by.day's labor the money will all be spent in Nelson. the advice of Sir William Butler, late commander-in chief in South Africa. It is believed that Sir Alfred Milner was responsible for the discredit thrown upon the repeated warnings of Sir William. On one occasion Sir Alfred suggested the reinforcement of certain garrisons by 1,000 men. 4< A thousand men?" cried General Butler. " If you mean business it is not 1,000 men you want but 100,000." How fully his opinion was justified, subsequent events have demonstrated. It is estimated that the Boers have now at least 65,000 men under arms. They occupy fortified positions, many of which are absolutely impregnable. They have the very best modern wear pons, with plenty of ammunition, and sufficient stores to last months. They prepared for this war, and they did it with Dutch thoroughness, overlooking no details, and they have secured some of the best conti- nental strategists. The British, on the other hand, the attacking party, heeded not the warnings:of Gen; Butler, underestimated the strength of the enemyi and began the war only half prepared. The difficul; ties of transportation and maintenance are enormous. They are not in fortified positions, nor do they know the country. The Boer has demonstrated that he has not deteriorated as a marksman. On his native veldt be has proven himself a foeman worthy the .Briton's steel. The Liberals of British Columbia will hold a convention within the next few weeks, when an effort will be made to heal old wounds and otherwise fix up party differences. It is inferred from the unusual activity among the Liberals that an effort will be made to force party lines in the forthcoming provincial contest. Politics seems to have played a prominent part in the departure of General Hutton from Canada. The Laurier Government was determined that General Htitton should be driven out of the country and succeeded in. making it so disagreeable for him that he prevailed upon the War Office to give him an appointment in South Africa Gradually it is dawning on the British nation that the War Office was unfortunate in; not. acting on General Hutton, says the Hamilton Spectator, has been ordered by the \.\ ar office to proceed to South Africa, by way of Englaud. It is we!! known that the general has been anxious to take part in the Boer war, and it is undoubtedly in answer to his request that the order has been made. General Htitton, like those of his predecessors who have done their duty as officers commanding the Canadian militia, has made-a good many warm enemies, and has been at odds with the minister of militia.

In two days every man and woman in Chicago was down on the strikers, and ultimately they were compelled to give in. That seems to be the principle upon which the mitie-owners of Rossiahd are proceeding. Rather than enter into a conflict with the men that would be costly and annoying, they simply quit until ��� conditions are more to their likiug. This is a weapon the employers are in a position to use with almost a certainty of - uccess. Workingmen will be wise to refrain from pushing them to that point. ��� _ to make after their energetic asseverations that this statement was *a deliberate lie/ and a 'Tory slander/ Mr. McMillan now shifts his ground, and says he really thinks that this deficit is a 'splendid showing.' The people of Manitoba are scarcely likely to agree with Mr. McMillan on this point, tspecially when they remember that this is not the full extent of the 'splendid showing1 of the Greenway government's twelve years of financial extravagance." Nelson may not boast of the best hockey team in the world, but when it comes to playing the national game of Scotland, all other places have to take aback seat hi the recent matches at Rossland, Nelson curlers won every prize worth carrying home. ^Burglars and thieves need not expect much sympathy from Mr. Justice Martin. The recent severe sentences imposed by His Lordship should act as a deterrent against crime in Nelson. Tins first thing that impresses the visitor to Nelson \^ the large number of strictly first-class mercantile establishments located here in almost everv. line ��� if trade we have stores that will compare favorably vith those in the same line in the larger cities of the Ivist., The buildings are all of a substantial character oid the quality of'the good4 carried is the best the market affords. Added to this is the excellent taste ��� ��f the merchants in displaying their wares. In granting Fireman Jeffs $150 to defray his expenses resulting from his recent accident, the city council performed a commendable act: Mr. Jeffs is a capable fireman, and it would be base ingratitude to permit him to be out of pocket all the expenses incidental to an injury received while in the performance of his duty. The offices of P. Burns & Cq., in their new block, will be among the best equipped in British Columbia. They are handsomely finished and well adapted to the growing requirements of the firm. In the absence of other important war news, it night hi mentioned that the Nelson Miner has its ^���ins still turned in the direction of the Tnhune, kopje, where is secreted the masked battery of General ! lousiou. , According to the Pioneer, in a few days the long wished for will: be realized and Phoenix will be able to enjoy the luxury of electric lights. Th:-: l\v< Australian newspaper, the Sydney Guz- -"'���. was published March 5, ��i>o6, fifteen years after the rise of the . colony. The delay was caused through their being no printers among the convicts, -���*.���- (-.[.iv.iv.Hw,4 vvvi y p* UIV.WJVU. n��\w��UUllIg llJC ICS'ai* While other cities of British Columbia are complaining of dull times, Nelson merchants speak encouragingly of the large volume of trade in the Kootenay metropolis. Tmm newspapers on the Coast are threatening to ������^sert their independence. The two Victoria papers aio rebelling against-party dictation, and express an ���iodinaiiou to adhere to independent expression of ������'Viuiou iu future. Undoubtedly it would be better \: all Canadian newspapers would adopt this policy. When a political- party controls the opinions of a pa- oer a free press becomes a misnomer. ICvkn. the bank statements supplied by Mr. Greenway have not disproved -'the allegation that his government had resigned leaving a deficit of upwards of >200.000. Col.-.McMillan, late Provincial Treasurer, now admits that the alleged deficit of $200,000 is "about correct.'' Commenting on this, the Winnipeg T> hg-am says : ' 'The amount of the deficit stated by Moo. Mr. Davidson was $227,005.15, besides which there is the obligation of some $150*000 in railway bonuses, to which the late government in its dying hours endeavored, to. bind the province. Col. McMillan certifies that this statement is 'about correct.' What a tremendous backdown the organs .will have In instituting a quarantine against Nelson, the Kaslo authorities s��etu to have acted with undue haste. Indeed, such action is open to the construe- tion of petty jealousy on the part of a neighboring town, more particularly as the citizens of Kaslo have long been regarded as altogether too slow to catch even smallpox, or any other contagious or infectious disease, for thatmatter.-^ - ^ The redistribution bill now before the Local Legislature is just such an outrageous measure as might be expected from the narrow-minded individuals in whose brains it was conceived. It is unjust to a large number of electors, and is designed as a blow against certain opponents of the Government. By this means the Seralin party hopes to manufacture a majority. Surely now is the time for the Lieutenant-Governor to step in and prevent the perpetration of such a flagrant act.of ..injustice'; The readiness with which Attorney-General Henderson resents any reflection on his:.''honor'' is not the least amusing spectacle presented in the halls of the British Columbia Legislature. 1' .

It does not take much penetration to discover the insincerity of what is now being attempted. A Canadian s Opinion of the War. 'Charles Lewi** Shaw war correspondent of Toronto Telegram.) CREDIT FOR COLONIALS. ri\\ There has l>een such arrant, pushing rot written about the English officer, and the press censorship has l>een so severe that it is just as well now that I have the opportunity, to tell exactly what not only is my own opinion, hut the opinion of the veterans of the old native and Boer wars. But it has been the military history of our empire���colonial opinion has ev^r been despised from the days when Washington' was a British colonial officer* and the French stronghold iu America���Louisbourg���was captured by a Boston merchant commanding colonial troops. The prettiest, best executed, most effective little piece of work done iu the campaign was done by the Canadians and Queeuslanders in that Douglas raid the other day. They were commanded by Col. Pilcher, whom I personally know to be too thorough a soldier to bother about trills. He knew what he had to do and how to do it, and understood his men. He did his work without the loss of a man. He is a man that will be heard of before this war is over. One of his strongest points is that he understands " Tommy," Two weeks on board ship with Col. Pilcher told me .that. f have slept under the same blanket and shared Tommy's rations too often not to understand him. His officer, as a rule, doesn't. I have often ���-.wondered why the soldier waiters at messes where I have dined do not burst into uncontrollable, laughter at the discussions that go on regarding Tommy. -. . -..���.'������������"���'- .-,.... '< TOMMY AM) HIS OFFICKR. ' His officer discusses him kbidly and considerately, but with: such a condescending non-comprehension that it would be laughable if it were not ludicrous. Now, as a matter of fact, Tommy Atkins is infinitely his .officer'ssuperior physically ; he is his equal in pluck and dush,- and only slightly his inferior in breeding and education, if you look at manners and education in their broadest sense. It is an undecided point in my mind, if he is inferior to him in intelligence. I have he-ml his officer discuss Tommy, and I have heard Tommy discuss his officer, and Tommy knows his officer thoroughly,'arid his officer doesn't know IToniniy. I have heard the officer discuss the campaign, and I have heard Tommy, and Tommy's opinion is the more valuable, and Tommy knows his business better than the officer does his. It is 14 years since I knew the British arm in the field, and the change in the personnel of the ranks is remarkable. The schoolmaster has been abroad. And the soldier of this war is a vastly superior animal to the one I knew on the Nile. ���>> tommy's idea of war. Early one morning a Tommy with whom I wa? particularly friendly, and I went a mile or so up the Modder river for a swim. We discussed, certainly, the all-absorbing topic���the campaign. If I had space his opinions would be worth printing. The London Times would give money for them, for with clear insight into the weakness, of our military aystem, and the difficulties of our position, he had opinions regarding playing the Boer at his own game that would make good leading. " Now," he,said, ���' take Belmont and Graspan. for instance. We beat them. We killed 50 or 60 of them, took 49 or 50 of them prisoners, laid about ioo, of our dend men on the veldt, with 200 knocked out of action, and we got a few bare, unoccupied kopjes that were no more earthly use to us than a few hundred carefully assorted kopjes in the neighbourhood without a Boer on them that we could have had without a shot being fired, and that were of just as much value. Why didn't we mask their position with a few thousand men that could themselves be relieved by reinforcements and march on. The Boer won't fight much in the open. We are the Kimberley relief column, we are. Why don't we let the Boers keep their -��� old kopjes? We don't want them." The discussion was beyond me. And we prepared for the swim. He stripped beautifully, as the trainers say, for as a matter of fact he was one of the finest men I ever saw. With the exception of a strong country accent, he had the outward and visible signs and manner of a thoroughbred, and he had brains. I had to see a staff officer on business that morning, and as Tommy was off duty we walked over to headquarters together. He waited in the square outside, while the ..officer, who was in his bath, told me to comein as he would be very busy, and he hadn't a momenttospare all morning. I listened to his ridiculous dicta regarding a profession which he knows nothing about,; for soldiers cannot be newspapermen, inspected his thin, shanks, and wondered how his lungs had a chance to work in that chest, and quietly smiled at the guff in the newspapers about England sendirig her best blood out in this war for Queeii and country. England is, but the best blood she sends flows in the veins of men like that Northumberland farmer's son who was ordered peremptorily a way by the half-dressed officer "for loafing around like a lazy Kaffir." My friend quietly saluted, turned and walked away. And I wanted to turn that officer over my knee and spank him. ." i: /;. e<��t& Br- ..Jan *!8l V m imvnwa!Ki!V*��*aWMHni il Mill NlMIPWH'll'.'"!!���;" I1" '':;���'��� ���'���*?".' 10 THENELSON HCONOMIST ;***"r5*- ��� ������,.-<��� >���*, ���.. ������-, t��5SW*j *4J ifgt Ipf! myy:..y: fe ���''.'

"Our acquaintance began in the Seven Dial, his visiting card being a revolver and mine a pair of darbies. But although our first meeting was a trifle rough and lacking in courtesy, I was not ungrateful to him, for his capture gained me my first promotion at Scotland j*ard, Besides which, we had both set our marks upon the other, he having giving me ait ounce of lead in the shoulder, whilst the aforementioned scar spoke of my dexterity with the fire shovel ; so that when we afterwards met we cried quits and an intimacy gradually sprang up between us. But this was all ancient history, as we had both long smee retired from business. I, upon a small pension, had left the force and sought out a quiet foliage at Stokes Bay, in Hampshire. To my great ���surprise I found Patterson leading a highly respectable life and much esteemed by the small community. He was supposed at the club to be a retired fishing master, and his ^greatest relaxation seemed to be in romancing. " It is not necessary/' said Job, " to seek adventure in foreign pirts. Many a terrible blizzard have I witnessed from the old cottage at Totland bay during the sixty odd years of my sojourn there; but never shall I forget the time when the old Eliza Jane was blown ashore. 41 It was in the autumn of 1850 ; the storm had been raging all day long, and towards evening it had nearly spent itself. I was standing with a group in a sheltered nook anxiously watching the maneuvers of a small brig showing signals of distress, which was rapidly being driven upon shore. " Lifeboats were not so plentiful in those days, and we could do nothing to assist the ill-fated vessel except prepare the rocket line in anticipation of her striking, which she eventually. did, ramming her nose almost ashore just inside the Needles. I was not backward in assisting those who were endeavoring to shoot a line over the wreck. Not to make my story too wearisome, this was accomplished, and a stout hawser soon stretched between the doomed vessel and the shore. 44 Owing to the surf and blinding spray, we could see only at intervals what was being done on board Send for Samples FRED IRVINE & CO. 9 Baker Street Ladies' Mackintoshes Latest Styles SPRING GOOD We have opened this week a large shipment of import goods direct from English manufacturers, therefore we are able to sell goods much cheaper than buying from eastern houses.
