The McDowell-Atkins- Watson Co., Ltd. \"THE DRUGGISTS,\" McOARTSr BLOCK.' Geo. T. Maliory, Mgr., Revelstoke Branch. There is a disposition in the loftj\" and superior papers of the old fiishion- ed stump in this piovince to talk with great contempt of \"fads.\" The flabby nnd indefinite* Scmlin piogramme wtis patronizingly commended for its lack of \"fads.\" These organs _f \"light and leading\" have not condescended to enumerate the particular projects, which come under the head ot' '\"fads,\" but it may be safely taken for granted that anything out of the ordin.wy routine of administration, under which this province bas been crawling along since confederation, would in their esti mitt ion be open to the objection of fiiddislmc-S. For instance railways must continue to be built by private parties' heavily bonnssed by the government. That is the only sensible way of getting railways constructed. All the government ran bo asked to do is to act in the matter of bonuses with discrimination. Government ownership of railways is a \"fad.\" Under the \"sensible\" plan this province is guaranteeing the interest on three railways out of which it is receiving 40% of the not earnings on two and nothing nt all on. the other, some of the most valuable portions of the province have been handed over to other companies to'induce them to build and the whole of ono district and everything in it has been granted to another company to get them to construct a road, 75 miles long, which will be in operation\" four mouths of tho year. On every line built freight and passenger rates are up to the top uotch. This is how British Columbia, fares by assisting railway enterprise under the sensible old fash- ioued plan. How aie other countries faring under the fad _ of government ownership? - In Hungary you can travel G miles for one cent and wages hiivc-'boen doubled on the railways, while the lines yield an annual revenue of ,$4,000,000. In Belgium fares and freight rate's have been cut down onc- h.ilf anel wages doubled. Tn Germany you can ride four \"miles for one cent, wages are over.120 per cent higher and net\"profits have increased 41 per cent. L������st year the roads paid the government a net profit of $25,000,000. In' Australia you can ride 1000 mile., for .\"0.50 first class, working -men can travel 0 miles for 2 cents and 30 miles for 10c. Railway employees receive.! 25 to 30 per cent, better wage's for S hours work than they get in tliis country for 10. ^ It.,-appears to the Herald that the-''fad\" of state ownership is worth some attention after all. The governments of Belgium, Germany, Hungary and Australia are not composed of cranks and enthusiasts. -If-the-policy-of.state ownership of-raiU. witys is a .fad, the'-HERALD is at all events in good company in advocating it. - Some people are very anxious to see our provincial politics run on party lines, which never hael any meaning in provincial politics and are gradually ceasing to have any even in Dominion allairs. The Hera~~> has yet to learn of any solid reason why this province should conduct its next election on a dividing line of matters, with which no province has by the B. N. A. anything to say. If any combination of politicians would form a Reform platform with a few good fads like state ownership of railways in it and appeal to the people on it as against the old fashioned, \"sensible\" policy of grab, monopolies and corruption, this province would have some party politics of its own worth talking about and fighting for.

POZER, Front St., Revelstoke llautf NOTE AND COMMENT INCORPORATION Arguments for and Against the Scheme now being Mooted. The chief argument for the incorporation of this place is the present unequal incidence of taxation. The big people who own the townsites are let alone. If this place did its own assessment we could make sure that this abuse was removed, and that the townsite owners paid their full share. At present they are doing nothing for the town. Every'cent-they receive for the lots they sell is pure profit. In case of incorporation, assessment could be made to touch improved lots lightly, and run unimproved property np to the extreme limit of value. This woultl compel our absentee speculator owneis to bear their full share of the municipal improvements, which increa-e the value of their property and at the same time make them eager to get their lots off their hands and willing to do something, to push the sale of them and develope the* town. Again incorporation will enable us to spend our own money and make such improvements to the town as tire most necessary. Tho assessment embracing as it will a lar^e area of property held at a good figure should run high enough to enable us to do this withoiit a high rate of.taxation. As a corporation tbe-'town could make itself heard better in its dealings with the government and other bodies. The question of freight rates for instance could be bandied by the town council with an influence, which no other local body could hope to bring I o bear on the C.P.R., and there would be machinery existing in the municipal officials for the collection of statistics on such points, which is at present wholly lacking. < Against tbe scheme Uie chief argument, is undoubtedly-the scattered nature of the population of tbe town, which wil render the expenditure on improvements a very\" delicate matter to handle. \"The fear of trouble on tliis score is very likely to keep'business men from accepting municipal\" office, from purely business cori-sidir-cations.'-,, * TEfere-will also'.-lie uin-eiuuncrative expenditure to i.ome out of \"the taxes, such as salaries for a clerk, constable, assessor anel \"collector, which will reduce the amount to be expended whore we want to see our money spent in the improvement of the town. -These objections are inevitable. They occur more or less in every pla.c which i-s incorporated, and will not he obviated by putting incorporation off. They will be found just as formidable next year or five years hence, as they are\" at present.

It is also satisfactory to learn that some Vancouvei ites are beginning to realise on some of their investments in that camp. Yesterday a local syndicate completed the sale or the Alice mineral claim, situated in Ground Hog basin, at the head waters of McCulloch Creek, for the sum of $3,000 cash, the purchasers being the London & B. C. Alliance Syndicate, represented in British Columbia by Mr. John O. Fer- gusfon, C.E., of this City. Considering that only one year's assessment work had been'done on the Alice, the price is very satisfactory. Ther-local syndicate alluded to owns ten other claims in the same neighborhood, and is making preparation's to do considerable development work this season on some of tho claims. In addition to the purchase of the Alice, Mr. Fergusson's company has secured six other claims adjacent. Mr. Fergnsson recently returned from the Big Bend, where he let the contract for sinking a 130-foot shaft on the Oie Bull, one of the claims he secured. All of.these claims arc in the vicinity of the noted Orphan Boy mine. Another Big Bend transaction of.iiu- portance, was closed last week by C. S. Douglas & Co., the well-known brokers of this City, who were the first firm in the Province to take hold of the Big Bend, having organized a syndicate in 1S05 in this City and sent J. W. Haskins to prospect that district, when, a large number of locations were made by him for the syndicate. The sale just consummated by thisfirmcompris- ed the Golden Ourrie,Pearl,Rose,Eric, Silver King and Gem mineral, claims, situated on the head waters of French Creek just over the divide from Ground Hog Basjn. The purchasers weie a syndicate composed of Montreal and Vancouver men, and the price paid is said to have been in .the neighborhood of $10,000. --It is understood,that, the development of the properties will be commenced at once, and prosecuted during the winter.���������News-Advertiser. OUR SOUVENIR GUIDE BOOK To North Kootenay will be Published Next Month The Herald's Diamond Jubilee Souvenir guidebook to the Revelstoke, Big Bend, Trout Lake,*\" Lardeau and neighboring districts wliich has been in preparation for\" some months past is now nearing completion. By the flrsYot next month\" it~is\"-eTx\"pected-to~be in the pi-inters' hands, and this coming week will be the last during which it will be possible to add to its contents either pictorial or litiary. A very large number of photographic views, many of them of remarkable excellence, have been taken in all parts of tbe North Kootenay district during the past few months, and from these a selection of the most suitable will be reproduced in the forthcoming book. As regards the reading contents the descriptive matter will be full and interesting, and the publication is likely to be the standard woik on the district feir a long time to come. The Herald takes this opportunity of tendering ils thanks to many of the residents of North Kootenay who havo given prompt information and assistance towards the compilation of the book which is one intended and certain to have a marked effect in enhancing the prosperity of the community as a whole, There are, however, still many 'people with a large property stake who ought to be heard from. These persons invariably profess approval of the projected book and promise support in the general way of the non-committal voter who so often leads on the* inexperienced politician to his undoing at the \"polls. The Herald has no desire to find itself left in in this way on the publication of its Souvenir book, and therefore asks supporters to sign orders which are payable after the issue of the work. This coming week is the hist during which the compilation of the book will be kept open, and during which persons so desiring can secure mention being made of properties which arc of sufficient importance to deserve notice*. The Herald's guide book will have a first issue of 10,000. It will be scattered far and wide through Great Britain, Canada .and the United States and for,,atlvei'tisine: the marvellous resources of North _*_uotcnay amongst the most desirable classes of investors and prospective settlers no better medium could be devised. TERRITORIAL Items of Interest to People in and From the Northwest A Kegina despatch says that the election protest in Western Assiniboia has been dropped and N. F. Davin retains his seat. The Ottawa despatch which announced the appointment of A. L. Sifton as judge of the Supreme Court has been contradicted by the minister of the Interior. Mr. Sifton, we are informed, has made up his mind that he will have to wait a couple of weeks himself. The mounted police are purchasing dogs in Northwest Ontario to be used on the Klondike mail set-vice. Vice-president Shaughnessy of the C. P. R., being interviewed in Winnipeg with regard to the rumored extension of the Calgary to Edmonton railway to the Athabasca, said that his company did not possess the necessary information to enable them to decide on the practicability of the scheme. H.'B, Wilson, manager of the Molsons bank at Trenton, Ont., litis been transferred to the management of the Calgary branch, in the room of Mr. McGregor, who has resigued. The Macleod Gazette says it is expected that- 30 miles of' grading will be completed hy the 21th inst. on the Crow's Nest Pass road. Work on the C. to E. railway bridge across the Old Man's river is being pushed forward rapidly. Two pile drivers are tit work, one on either side of the river, and the rails are being laid from the north side just as fast as the piles are driven. At present the bridge is to be' entirely supported by piles, but a permanent steel bridge will be put in this wuitei-.* Several pai ties are leaving Edmonton tor the \"Sfukon. Some are fi.-om Duliith, some from Pennsylvania, ar.d three large outfits from California. Some will ttike the overland route with packhorses,\" and others tbe river route's by* the Athabasca, McKenzie, and Porcupine or Liard rivers. - There-is to ben 'iig bicycle territorial race meeting at Calgary on Sept.O aud 7. ��������� There,will be 14 events'and 3-foot races. Seventy-five prizes will ' be given in all, including gold and silver medals! gold watches and a silver cup. The purchase of the coking coal mines at Sheep \"Creek, near Calgary, by an English company has been completed. The company intend to go into ' the manufacture ,.of coke for smelting purposes largely. Chevalier G. A. Drolet has secured from the federal government a 20 years' permit to operate on GO miles of the-Saskatchewau- riveiyhetwccn -Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan and Victoria, for the purpose of extracting gold and platinum. A \"company of Canadian and American capitalists has been organized to carry on the operations. \" ' The Central Hotel. Considerable* tidditions and improvements are in contemplation by the enterprising proprietors of this popular house. Mr. Chas, Abrahamson is moving his private residence further down the street on his vacant lots to make room for an 80x30 feet, 3 story addition. This will give about 23 more bedrooms upstairs. ' Downstairs will be the dining room, sample rooms, etc., while the bar will be kept in the old building. The Abrahtiuistin Bros, find these additions rendered necessary by their largely increasing trade.

Last night a meeting was held at the school house to appoint a committee to inquire into the subject of incorporation. About 10 gentlemen were present and Mr. A. B. R. Hearn, manager of the Imperial Bank, was voted into the chair, Mr. Haig being appointed secretary. After a good deal of desultory conversation a committee of seven was appointed to investigate the question of registration anel all other matters pertaining to incorporation anil to report the result of their inquire, with a recommendation foror against to a public meeting to lie called by the chairman of the committee. The committee was ballotted for, and the following names were selected: Messrs. Haifj, Wells, Crage. J. Abrahamson, A. M. Spragge, W. M. Brown and Sibbald. The Price of Silver.

TARIFF DISCRIMINAIION Truly the ways of the American Government are wonderful and their methods ot procedure equally strange. This is strongly exemplified in the announcement recently made in the New York papers that the privilege of bringing goods into the United States in bond was about to be abrogated. TheU. S. tariff act, prior to last session, contained a clause (section 22) which reads as follows: \" A. discriminating duty of 10 per cent ad valorem, in addition to the duties imposed by law, shall be levied, collected and paid on all goods imported in vessels not of the United States, but this discriminating duty shall not apply to goods imported iu vessels not of the United States, entitled by treaty or any act of congress to be entered in the ports of the United States on payment of the same duties paid on goods imported in United States vessels.\" j -,��������� In the session just past, an I amendment to this clause was agreed to in conference, and smuggled through\" both houses without those iu charge of the bill notifying Congress���������according to the Toronto Globe. \"Whatever may have been the reason, for the . secrecy manifested in getting the amendment through, the effect was to make section 22 read as follows: \"A discriminating duty of 10 per cent, in addition to the duties imposed by law, shall be levied, collected and paid on all goods imported in vessels not of the _jJi\"?.ited_S_t_ites,_pjrj____h production or manufacture of any foreign country not contiguous to tbe United States shall come into the United States from such contiguous country, but this discriminating duty shall not apply- to goods imported iu vessels not of the United States, entitled by treaty or any act of congress to be entered in the ports ot the United States on payment of the same duties paid on goods imported in United States vessels.\" The object of the amendment was, undoubtedly, to injure the _ Canadian railways by killing the greater part of the through freight business, and the United States attorney-general has decided that goods the production of a foreign country not contiguous to the United States are subject to the discriminatory duty of 10 per cent provided for in section 22 of the new tariff act, and also that the method oE conveyance, whether by water, rail or other wise, is not material. A further question is now under consideration, i. e., whether foreign goods coming through Canada under consular seal are subjected to the discriminatory duty. These goods form a large portion of the exportation of tea and other commodities from the Orient coming by way of Vancouver and the Canadian railroads to the United -- States. The whole intention of che alteration in the tariff is to raise the tax on outside freight entering the United States through Canada, and thus inflict injury on the Canadian seaports and railways. What are known as the \"bonding privileges\" are not affected at all. Thus British Columbia cedars can still be sent to South America, or wheat from Assiniboia to Europe, and be bonded through the United States. Again the vast traffic on theC. P. R,. across the State of Maine will not be interfered with. The general impression among - Next month we will have a talk with you about general Dry Goods Something else you all want to hear about, which *is Carpets -���������������_\"��������� Stores at Revelstoke Station, Revelstoke, Trout Lake City and Ferguson commercial men seems to be 'that the amendment will not be so injurious to the trade of the Dominion as had been anticipated, althoughcertain industries, e. g., the - coasting trade, will feel the effects of it. THE AIR OF BEDROOMS The following is Mr. Goldwin Smith's comment on the assassination of Senor Canovas: \"The assassination'.of the'prime minister of Spain by an Anarchist, though startling, is by no means * unaccountable. The only wonder is that there are not rnore'criines of (the same kind.. The suffering I classes in Europe have been persuaded by writers who are the European counterparts ot_ Mr. Henry George and������Mr. Bellamy, that the social system under which they live is a mass of iniquity for which the laws and ^those who make the laws are responsible. They do not read, or if they read, they do not understand or lay to heart the economical reasons oE socialistic or Utopian teachers, but they do read, understand and lay toheart the inflammatory passages In their eyes the head of a State becomes the chief of criminals rais_e_d by.l'aws of his own making^ and a public force which he abuses, abovo regular justice, and therefore a proper mark| for the irregular justice of! the pistol or the dynamite bomb. These maniacs'cub the throat of their own cause. The worst enemy oE the reformer is the political assassin. There was a strong and promising party of. constitutional reform in Russia till it was killed by nihilism! and the murder of Alexander II. That monarch had emancipated the serfs. Canovas del Castillo hael given the Spanish people universal suffrage. We are almost ashamed to repeat the commonplaces of political prudence in the presence of a tragic event and of the suffering among the unfortunate classes from which the anarchists' freu/.y springs. But it is well\" to bear distinctly in mind that neither madness nor murder has ever done humanity any good.\" An They Are Exceedingly Liable to He Over. cliiimeil Witli Watery Vapor. When there is too much water in the atmosphere the; person who breathes il is to a certain limited extent deprived of his eluc supply ot oxygon, and an elementary beginning of stlltociitioii is perceived in liis chest. Most middle-aged and till old persons huve felt ttiis, ami all persons also who have weak hearts or iniptiivoil lungs. Now the air o\" lieu- rooms is exceedingly liable to bo overcharged with watery vnpor. The most obvious reasons for this are that many bedrooms tire never waimeel with fires, and that'their windows tire often loft open all dtty until dusk, and sometimes even to the very hour ot going to heel in a damp air. A delicate or aged person leaves a wttrm dm wins room\", say, at. half-past eleven, a drawing room in which there was a temperature of OS degrees; he enters a cold, damp bedroom, stiy, at a temperature of as degrees. The air iu the drawing room was dry. perhaps a littlo too dry. The air in tlie bedroom is saturated with ceilil, watery vapor. The person we arc thinking of, so soon as he enters the hcelroom, chokes and gasps anil couidis Xor half an hour at least, nnel sometimes brings on stu-li nn attack ot asthma, or. as he calls it. '���������siilliio-s of the chest, that he can hardly breathe tit -.ill. lie may even lose his night's sleep uud be ill for some days a tier such an exposure. Now, common-sense says. \"Make an effort to bring tbe atmosphere of the bedroom nearer in point both of drviwos anel warmth to tho atmosphere of\"the drawing room, and then not only will a man feel as comfortable in the bedroom as in the drawing room. _ lint even more comfortable.

The action of the United States customs authorities in imposing an extra duty of 10 per cent on foreign good.sjmportedivia Canada is a curious after piece to the pledges Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues made during the election campaign. Then it was pointed out that all that was necessary to do to secure free admission to the United States for Canadian products was to turnout the Tories, whom the Yankees hated, and to put in the Liberals, whom the Yankees loved. Xow, not only is there a United States tariff higher than ever against Canadian products going into the United States, but Canadians are prevented from handling British goods over' the frontier ot the United States consumer.

Geo. H. Reid. premier of New South Wales, and Hon. C. C. Kingston, premier of South Australia, arrived here last Thursday from England and leftfoi- home on the Miowera. In an interview Mr. Reid stated that the hitch in the negotiations regarding the Pacific cable was caused oy Canada, wliich country had made no definite proposal as to what she was ready to do. ' New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand were ready to enter into an agreement, and Victoria would also probably come in, but uutil Canada had made a definite propositi Great Britain would not act in the matter. Unless Canada acted promptly, added Mr. Reid, the scheme will drop, as the route via the Cape Colony had been already talked of, and ic is said this is favoured by the Imperial navy aud army authorities. Regarding Australian federation, both premiers are very sanguine that it would be shortly brought about. The only point delaying- federation is the power to bo given the Senate. The large colonies claim it should not have the power to amend money Dills, while the smaller states claim it should have tbe right. If this question was settled, both premiers affirm that no trouble regarding the fiscal and other mutters would he experienced. *��������� Premier Reid stated that he thought Sydney would be chosen as the federal capital, as New South Wales was the largest aud richest- colony.

Their great claim is that that the country is suffering on account of a shortage of money and that the supply of gold is not great enough for the requirements of trade. In Canada the discovery of new gold territories have followed each other in rapid succession. We have the famous Kootenay, the new gold districts of north west Ontario, and_latest__gf___.ll,' Uie_w_,e__nderfiil____Clon_; dike region. With our many thousands of square miles of unprospected countrv, ive may keep on increasing the list of gold territories every few mouths for years.

Cummins to Co., general merchants at Ferguson, have* put a store in at 10 Mile, on the south fork of tho Lardeau, at tho month of Gainer Creek, where all miners supplies and provisions will be kept. The firm find business good. Read their ad elsewhere. The wagon road np the noi-t h fork orgthe Illecillewaet to the Wavoi'uy mine is almost completed. Tho most difficult part of construction was in the first few miles through the canyon. The contractors have made an excellent job of the road, whicli will go a long way to open up ono of tho richest tlisti-icts in Kootenay. Travel south is notably reviving. The trains every afternoon are full, and hoti-'lkeepc-rs report a good number of mining men and investors travelling quietly through the country. W. M. Brown has some good looking specimens of pold-copper ore, which have come from Pingston creek. The ore resembles the Rossland ores. The ledge is 10 feet wide on the surfacc.and 15 claims have been staked on it. Work on the Glengarry mine has been closed down, after the lead had been struck at about 40 feet in the tunnel. The owners decided that at the present price of silver, it would not be of any advantage to get out ore for shipment this winter. Mr. AV. R. Hull was in town this week. He has been down to his town- site at Burton City. He reports Cariboo Creek flourishing and thinks that several mines will be shipping through Burton City this winter, as mine owners are asking fur a wharf on the lake. Mr. Ed. Adair has located some hot springs about 5 miles up , Half-wny creek from its mouth on the east shore of Arrow lake.1 The water, which is of great heat, comes out on the bank of the creek in a beautiful valley, which could be made accessible by a waggon road quite easily. The creek heads near Trout Lake, and several good locations have been made up at its source. Mr. G. J. Atkins of the French Creek Co. returned froni Big Bend oh ''Thursday evening.

The Herald's Souvenir guide book to North Kootenay closes next week, and goes into'the printers' hands. Persons wishing mention made of properties worthy of notice will not have an opportunity of procuring insertion after next, week, ami if they find nothing relating to their mines or business property in the volume they will have to blame thoir own stipinness in not communicating with the Hekald in time. her benefit. While lko Sigmaii. the esteemed proprietor ol\\tho Big Strike saloon, was fishing in the river yesterday, his boat struck a snag; it proved to bo a 000- pound nugget. Ho will havo it taken out and will use it as a horse-block in front of his place. Iko is always bound to havo the best that is going. Large numbers of catfish are seen filiating in llio river every day. When examined it is foiuitl that every ono of them has from six to eight ounces ot gold d list in its .stomach. The carelessness in allowing loose gold to escape into tho river will ruin the lish unless stopped. * Bill Jacobs made a pretty gond strike on tho Little Juniper this wook.

After ho had completed it he built a roaring fire, but there was so much niolnl in the stone that it moiled and ran all over the floor. Ho now has a gold- plated floor, but no fiic-place.
