Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper.

SECOND YEAR.-NO. 2fl. NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, SATURDAY, MAY IU, 1894-. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR. VIEWS OF A MINE MANAGER. Wlio Believes in Developing a Property Before Shipping Ore. Nnw Di'.NVi'JK. May 1-1 tli. Byron White was in New Denver last \"Wedneselay. Vancouver, in his opinion, i.s going to be the great city of British Columbia. ile has sottletl his family there. West Kootenay, he said, was a hard country to make a permanent home in at present. It is very likely, however, that ho will build a cottage at New Denver and spend a few months here every .summer witli his wife and family. He expects to bo in West Ivootenay hi nisei J' most of the time as soon as the railroad gets in. \"1 think,\" he remarked, '.'that we have seen our dullest times in West Kootenay. This camp litis been opened up in the face of a panic antl heavy fall in silver. It is a wonder to me that any men are working in the camp tit all.\" What the conip will be in good times is to be inferred. iNew Denver, Mr. White considers, is all right. '\"People,\" ho says, \"'will be here and do business here, and it cannot be long before wc get a bank in here. ; Take myself for instance. Living at at Vancouver, if 1 want to do business with the bank I have got to go through the mountains to Ivaslo ttnd down to Nelson. An interview with the bank costs me fifty dollars at the very least.\" Questioned as to some of the reports flying about regarding a shortage of ore in some of the; best known mines, Mr. White said : '\" I tlont see what else could be expected. If you eiig out every pound of ore in sight you soon won't have any. Prospects have got to be developed. People have accused me of working a hardship em the country because I never shipped any- ore from tlie Slocan Star. 1 believe the Star in the shape it is today i.s tiering as -much for the camp as any other property. If I had sacked.; ore last summer and shipped it, the chances tire I would have nothing to show now but a smelter certificate and a hole in the ground. I must say I believe in 'development. Besides, I am a speculator. Anil I believe the price of ore is going to go up. Hvery cent.thatsilver goes up means about $1000 to ine on that lot. of ore at Three Forks.-\" What dei you figure that ore you have stored at Three Forks te> be worth nett? '\" Well\" said Mr. White\" allowing about %S0 a ton for 'freight and treatment, the ore is worth between $00,000 and $70,000.\" Back From Big Bend. William llennessy and M. 11. Hubbard returned from a.trip to the Big Bend country on Tuesday. They report it nse- \" less for prospectors to go into that section earlier than July 1st, as the snow is yet very deep in the mountains. The Consolation claim on French creek is paying well. The pay gravel is not more than 0 inches, but the bed-rock is worked to a depth'of 2A feet, it being coarse slate. The face is about 30 feet in width, and the dirt is run some 000 feet and hoisted'50 feet to the surface. It will, however, soon be hoisted through another shaft nearer the face,' and a considerable saving will be made iu labor. The 'dirt pays about $30 to the yard, anel the dust is \"worth' $18.75. an ounce in San Francisco. Several claims will be worked on McCulloch creek. Mr. Hennessy and Thomas Lidster have both become iuteresteel in. claims on that creek. A party is at work on ground four miles from the, mouth of Carnes creek and reported taking out good pay. The quartz; ledges in the Big Bend are from It) to 20 inches wirle, and it is claimed the ore runs from $30 to $50 in gold to the ton. John Boyd has bonded a claim located about ten miles up Carnes creek, and is now cutting a trail to it. The vein is said to be 0 feet wide, and in slate, granite, and porphyry. The ore runs from $10 to $-10 in gold. Will Give the Last Chance Another Trial. The owners of the Last Chance claim on McCulloch creek, in the Big Bend country, although they have spent $22,000 in running two tunnels that did nett strike bedrock, have still faith in the ground. One tunnel is in 1000 feet anel the other in 1500. The lease expires in July, but it will be renewed. The; owners tire Josiah Fletcher, T. .1. Leiitlrtmi, G. C. Tunstall, Jr., W. M. Brown, William McKen/.ie, John Bell, Thomas Ardeil, Alex Bilslantl, and John Sanderson. The latter left Nelson this week for the claim, tint! he will probably have five others at work with iiini. Larger Than Ever Before. Phil Aspinwall i.s up from Trail Creek district. He reports that the force em the Le Roi is now larger than ever before, anel that while the men are iiot working by the day, they are making $3.50aelay on contract work. Trail Creek is to be a $3.50 camp. \"Tom\" Feehan is now foreman on the Josie. The Richest Yet Shipped. J. G. McGuiganof the Noble Five mines, in Slocan district, returned today from Omaha., where he toe>k 51 terns of high- grade ore. The returns received go te> show that the eire was the richest yet shipped in large quantity from the Slocan country. It ran 510 ounces silver and 51 per cent lead. Mining News from the Line. Northport News, 17th: \"The Columbia Consolidated Placer Mining Company has transferred to Parker 6c Leavenworth of Seattle, the agents of tin eastern syndi- | cate, its $125,000 iu treasury stock, iii con- ' sideration of which Parker 6c Leavenworth have contracted to construct tin ample canal, starting at the forks of Cedar creek, three miles southeast of AVaneta, ami to extend far enough southwest to supply sufficient water to enable the Columbia company to thoroughly work its 800 acres of laud which hug the Pend d'- Oriolle and Columbia' rivers, it i.s esti- mateel by the company's engineer that the canal, pipe, etc., will cost $35,000. . Colonel Peyton informed the Northport Lumber Company this week that he would shortly need ti largo bill of lumber, as he iutcncled to erect several buildings at the Le B.oi mine, in Trail Creek district. . James Hays anel Anthony Nelson left on Saturday for Upper Arrow lake, te> locate a tin mine which Mr. Hays discovered about two years ago. At'the time he discovered it snow wsis falling and he was .afraid he woultl be snowed in, and last season ho had no opportunity to get there. If the ore proves to be what Mr. Mays believes, it will be the greatest discovery ever made in British Columbia.\" FROM CARIBOO. The Outlook not at all Px-omising for That Section of the Province. A resident of Nelson has received the following summing up of the outlook for Cariboo. Tho letter is dated Bark- erville, April 20th. Jt says: \"'At present the outlook is very blue. The place has grown from bad to worse ever since you left. As far as a man looking for work goes, it is almost out of the question, as no drifting claims of any account are at work now. The principal ������'mining is hydraulic, and very little of that. There are more men here now than get employment: but rumor has it that we are to have a. boom in tlie near future. A. D. Whittier has a lease of .all'the'vacant, ground on Williams creek, and the ground held as real estate he has bonded. He proposes to .work the creek from' top to bottom by a machine called a hydraulic jet. Slough creek is 'also held by a company of Americans. They are just about ready to try and sink their ���shaft. Law, late commissioner at the World's Fair, has a scheme on foot to. prospect Willow river.:; below 'Mosquito creek. He is going to bore with some kind of an augur, and has the old Lowhee engine on the ground. J. Allen and Frank Petries think they .have: found a continuation of the old Heron lead on. Grouse creek. Tliey run a tunnel below where the'pay-streak was lost and sunk a blind shaft. They got six ounces out t)f the shaft. Quite a number of 10-mile leases have been applied for on Willow, Goat, and Smoky, as well as on the Fraser. There are no new strikes. Iiobson, at the Forks of Quesnelle, is going in to hydraulic miningextensively, but he only pays about $.10 a mouth and board. George Isaac and Arthur Johnson a.nd another man are on Stuart's creek prospecting. Arnold Wilson is working for Flynn on Mosquito creek. John AVil- son is back on Lightning- creek prospecting on the. bench opposite the . Costello. Barkerville is almost deserted; about twenty iu tlio town now, all told.\" Keep Pegging Away on Goat River. While little is heard of the Goat river and Duck creek camps, the boys who have interests there keep pegging away. Frank Fitch, Jack O'Neil, and John Fritch have bonded the President claim to a ..Minneapolis conipany, and Dr. Schroeder, the company's representative, after looking at the property, is wolf satisfied with it. In running a tunnel last winter two veins were crosscut, the ore from which runs 51 per cent copper and .15 in gold. The tunnel is in 180 feet. A tunnel i.s also being run on an adjoining claim called the Selkirk, which shows a o-foot vein on the surface. The ore from the Selkirk is galena tind carries about 05 ounces silver. Parties who own a claim five miles up Goat river have called for tenders for running a 75-foot tunnel. When taking iu a party on Tuesday te) look tit some properties, Jack O'Neil lost two horses in crossing Goat river. At present, there is little difficulty in getting to either camp, as the steamer Nelson runs within a mile e>r two of many of the claims, both going to aud coming from.Bonner's Ferry. A Backward Spring. John McDonald, who is down from Toad mountain, says this spring is the most backward he has witnessed since going to the Silver King,\"six years ago. The snow is still fully eight feet iu depth at the mine, anel apparently is settling but little. The nights tire cold, and the days are not warm enough to thaw the crust formed at night. The wagon road is bare as far up as the first turn. Snow is being shoveled off the proposed site for the plant that is ne>w lying at the C. 6c K. depot. Fifty-five men are employed. \"Will Make Headquarters at a Mine. George \\V. Hughes will, for a time, make his headquarters at the Mtmuta.iii Chief mine, which is about two miles form New Denver. When entt tit Spokane last week lit. purchased a small Pelton wheel, which will be used to force air through the workings of the mine, foul air being tit times troublesome. A Gold Mill Started Up. The 10-sta.inp mill em the Poorman mine em Kagle creek, six miles southwest of Nelson, was started up on Frielay, anel will be run as long as the wafer supply lasts. Ore is being stoped from both the north and south drifts. Twelve men are employed. VOTERS' LIST.52N0RTH RIDING.

More exaggerated statements have been sent out from Kaslo than from all other towns in Kootenay combined. The newspaper correspondence i'rom that place seldom contains facts, and i.s always highly colored. The following is a fair sample of the \"rot\" that is being sent out in regard to the contest for member of the legislativeassembly. It is taken i'rom the Vancouver World of the 7th: \"The government candidate will divide the vote in Nelson, while in Kaslo, his home, Mr. Biiclutnan will poll a solid one. This he will also do-.in Denver. _Na.ku.sp, 'Three Forks,'Carpenter creek, and ejther places, in all of which exists a determination to stamp, out Jlttstonian dictation and bossism. The oppositionists tire becoming fewer every hour. They are realizing the fact that talk tind denunciation'of the government tire cheap, but when facts are arrayed against bald, unsupported assertions, the hitter count for nothing. The oppositionists, therefore, tire becoming despondent and the ministerialists buoyant. The government is becoming more popular daily, anel the fact that its success in the forthcoming cemtest is assured beyonel peradventure aelels to its prestige in this section of the province!. Nor is the fact overlooke.d that the opposition, as tt .party, is weak in brain power and without a iiieleler, being, in fact, nothing more or less than tin tiggregtitietii of objoctionists anel obstructionists. The government party in this rieling have played ti waiting anel a, winning hand.

' Vividly Described in Enduring Prose by Randall H. Kemp. Poets and historians have never sounded the praises of the prospector, either in lasting verse or enduring prose. Except an occasional sketch in some western local ptiper, this class of hardy pioneers are never given any attention by the literary geniuses of the day. There are different kinds of prospectors. One kind hang around recording ofTices, keeping track of the records, wait- I ing for an opportunity to '\"jump\" a claim should the annual work not-be performed thereon; and another kind loiter around,: mining camps, waiting to hear of some rich strike, when they rush to the scene and locate \"extensions\" or \"side liners.\" The real, genuine prospector, however, is the one who shoulders his pack, goes forth into unexplored mountains, taking till the chances, trusting to his knowledge of formations and minerals anil to fate to \"'strike it rich.\" iNo class of men is more elesorving of credit i'or the settlement of the great west. It wtis not the Golden Gtite harbor of S;in Francisco, or the snow peaks of Shasta, or the possibilities of fruit culture that caused California to be a great state; the timber resources and beautiful lakes did not attract pioneers to western Nevada: the great reaches of pasture lanels and the fertile valleys caused not the first rush to .Montana: fdaho would not be a state in the Union today were it not for tlie prospector; British Columbia ' owes its standing almost entirely to the men whosought for'mineral riches. Thus we might go on indefinitely. it takes :i man of -peculiar tetnperment to follow this vocation, lie must be physically able to endure hardships, and have the stamina to bear disappointments. He must have a vivid imagination aiul quick mi nil. The possibility of making a.'-'valuable.- eliscovery is ever uppermost in his..thoughts.. The extremes of fortune he is able to stand. Should tlie blind goddess smile on him,'-and his condition be changed from poverty to . a II111 e n co,'. he 'ha s. a t tain eel...\" li i.s a m b i li o i i , 'arid ever afterwartls. as tt general rule, makes an influential anel useful citi/.en. .Should fate be'against him. he accepts the decree philosophically,'.''and .when no 'longer able-to follow his chosen calling, he retires, content to take\"his\"-chances again .when an opportune time arrives. Too many-who have not given this class of iiomandic pioneers a thought are in- clineel to look on them as wandering vagrants, with iio other ambition than to tempt fate and trust to the vagaries of chance. Investigation, however, will nren'e that the grand army of prospectors is made up from every walk- and avocation in life. Many of the most noted colleges could find their alumni in their ranks; all professions and trades'are icp- resented. Bough of dress and not over choice in the selection of words to express tin idea is the average prospector when following his occupation. Generosity in the broadest 'acceptation' of the term, tis a rule, is oneof hi.s strongest virtues. Not only is the passing 'stranger \"welcome to the lion's share of his \"grub\" in camp or cabin,'coarse'though it may be, but the same spirit of proeligiality governs him when in town or in city. He. apparently,' thinks there are no 'refreshments too rich for the blood of his accociates when he i.s in funds. l Many old-time features of the Far West are things of the past. The locomotive anel the palae.e car have superceded the ox team and the prairie schooner. The swift.-inoving steamboat carries its passengers anel freight on the rivers and hikes where less than a generation tigo transit was by.birch-bark canoe anel eltig- enit. Wondrous change is taking place where once ;ul venttirotts spirits ttdvtinceel when hungry for the western horizon. The rapid strides of tin encroaching civil i/.atinu, pressing on with indelible footprints over the rough pathways heweel out with his iron hand, tire gradually narrowing the field of operations of the prospector, ttnd. figuratively speaking, like Alexander the Great, he; sighs for new worlels lei e-onepior, but knows not where U> go to find a virgin wilelerness in which to elelvc anel search for the metallic treasures of the earth. In a h'W years, a e-eaiplc t>f decade's tit best, the rising generation will only kneiw eif the prospector through what he may re-ad in steiry rem- nincse-cnt of sonic oltl-timer. whose only themghts were'of the days of the past.

PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES. \"AlWi'KIl IIV /)i:i.KGATKS IS COSVVSTIOS OS TIIK ll'I'II Ol'\" Al'ltll., 1SII1. Wlicreas. the men that iipbuiltthe Dominion of Canada wore not of one naliviiy. and if a healthy patnotio sentiment is to prevail, and only by the growth of such a sentiment can Canada taken place among Kng- lisli-spoaking nations, the rospon.-ibilities of government must be enlriisted to men of known capacity, and not to men who by aecident of birth imagine themselves rulers bv Divine right. Therefore, bo it resolved��� . \"First. That, we hold as reprehensible the practice of appointing non-residents to ollicial positions in interior districts, and we niaiiilaiii that all ollices, where practicable, should be lllleel b.v residents of the district wherein the ollicial performs duty. Second. Special and private legislation not only consumes too groat a part of the time that should be devoted to tlio consideration of public measures, but il leads to practices that Loud lo lesson eonlideiieo in lhe integrity of the legislative a.-.-embly, and through it an insidious poison is di.-.-ominated that iu time will find its way throughout the whole organism of lhe body politic; therefore, we favor the enactment of general laws that will reduce to a minimum .-peciul legislation and do away with private legislation altogether. Third. The intero.-ts of the province were not safe-guarelod iu the agreement between the government and Hie Naku-p & Slocan Railway Company, unit Lhe policy of the government in pledging Lhe credit of the province, in order that speculative companies may prolit thereby, is lo be condemned. Fourth. After making provision for the payment of the running expenses ol the government, expenditures should he confined solely to the building and betterment of wagon roaeis anil other works Unit are for the free use and benelit of the public-at-largo, leaving to private enterprise the .construction unci .'operation of railways and all other undertakings for tlie use of which the public are rcei uircd to pay. Fifth. The speedy adjustment of the differences between the province and the Dominion, to the end that \"the land within the railway bolt along tlio -Canadian I'aoilic railway be thrown open to settlement under lhe land laws of the province; the amendment of the Laud Act so that it-, will be an equitable contract between the province and the settlor, eliminating all discretionary powers of the chief .commissioner of lands and works: also .-unending it so as to permit the outright purchase of small tracts in all iinsurveyed mountainous districts. Sixth. The timber hinds of the province should bo held in trust for the future needs of its people, and not handed over, unrler long leases, to;:speculative mill owners as a saleable asset. Seventh. The \"development of the mining industry should not bo hamporoel by legislation tlitit makes the procurement of title to surface rights impossible: that levies unequal taxation on working miners; and that makes it dillicult to compeldelinquent co-owners to pavilion-share of assessment work: therefore, we favor the repeal of sections S and 15a of the Mineral Act and a revision of the sections relating to mining partnerships. Eighth. The passage of an act whereby wafer rights for any'specific purpose ' may he obtained as readily as such rights are now obtained for mining purposes under the provisions of tlie Mineral Act. Ninth. The establishment of a land registry for Kootenay district. Tenth. Tho holding in Kootenay district of terms of the county court at short intervals; extending the power to issue capias to registrars of county courts in districts in which there are no resident judges; and the passage of an act that will allow the collection of small debts in courts composed of justices of the peace. Eleventh: The extortions to which laborers on. rail way construction and other works are compelled to submit, through the issuance of tinie-cheeks. is alike discreditable to the men who prolit by such practices and to the government that makes no etl'ortto render such practices impossible. The issuance of noii-negotiablo time-checks, should be made a punishable oH'cnce, and the issuance of negotiable tiine-ohccks should only bo allowable under a law that would safeguard the rights of tlio party to whom they are issued. ^ Twelfth. Contractors and sub-contractors on railways should havea means of gelling speedy redress from unjust classification and unfair measurement of work by the appointment of an ollicial arbitrator who shall be a practical engineer. fhirtoontli. The government is to be condemned for the passage of a redistribution act that is not uniform' in its provisions, and by which representation is neither based on population, voting strength, nor contributed revenue. Resolved, that the go\\ eminent is to bo blaineel for keeping in olliee in.West Kootenay a gold commissioner ���who is not competent to perform the duties of the olliee. Itesolveil, that lhe attention of the government.'is called to the necessity of having paid constables stationed. at .points on the International boundary line like Hy- kort's and Waneta. Resolved, that it is of the utmost importance that trails and wagon roads be built to connect all mining camps in \"West Kootenay with transportation routes that arc open the year round. Itesolvod, that the nominee of this convention he required to pledge himself to do his ulinosl to carry out the views expressed in the resolutions adopted by th is con volition, unci that oaoh delegate to this convention make every effort to secure the eke.ion of the nominee of the convention. Resolved, that the lands embraced within railway grants should be immediately surveyed, in order that they be open to sellleincnt. Resolved, that the people living in the valley of Kootenay river between the lakeand the International bound- dary line and those living in Fire Valley on the west side of Lower Arrow lake are justly entitled to mail facilities, anil that we deem it a duty to urge that post ollices he established al Rykorl's custom-house and at a central point in Fire Valley.

Recently tenders wore as keel for by the same official for carrying the mail between the postoflice at Donald and the Canadian Pacific depot at Donalel���tt contract that 'would not be undertaken by anyone living outside of Donald; yet tin advertisement calling for Letielers for the^ervice was inserted iu the (iolilen Era. If it was eleeineel to be in the interest of economy to do without newspaper publicity in calling for tenders for an important route in West Kootenay, would it not Jim ve been in the interest of economy to havedone without newspaper publicity in calling for tenders for an unimportant route in l_]ast Ivootenay? If postoflice inspector Fletcher cannot answer the above entestiou, perhaps his superiors at Ottawa can. SKULLDUGGERY WAS PRACTICED. \"When the provisions of the act regarding the registration of voters were first printed, The Thihcnk intimated that skullduggery would be attempted by the supporters of the government. ' The prediction was based on the fact that the government's managers in West Jvootenay are men known- to be very unscrupulous; men who would willingly disfranchise every man in tho district who is not in favor of '\"standingin\" with the government. The prediction has been verified. In aiding in tJie revision of the voters' list, the opposition were scrupulously careful that no man entitled to vote should be deprived of that right because of doubts on their part. Not so, however, with tlie managers of. tlie government party who aided in the revision. livery name not known to them personally was put on the doubtful list, anel the notices required under section 12 of the act were sent through the mails to upwards of three hundred names entered on the register. By the wording of these notices, t-lie parties to whom they were sent were rceptired to return satisfactory answers by May 1st; yet notices addressed to residents of outlying districts like Slocan were not deposited in the postoflice tit Nelson until April 30th, and therefore could not be received by tlie parties to whom addressed until long after the day on which the answers must be Hied. Many of those whose names were entered on the register have changed their residence since sending in their applications, and notices mailed them to their former places of residence will not be received. Many others are men who visit the towns at irregular intervals, and letters addressed tliem are often sent to the dead letter office. However, prompt steps will be taken to get the names dropped from the list restored, and the government party managers will find that every name so restored will be that of a man who will cast a ballot on election day against the party who attempts- to prolong its lease of power by trickery and fraud. A SEPARATE DISTRICT REQUIRED. tion candidates, except those IVdui Victoria, were all \"independents.'' Will the coming election result in the election ol\" a minority of \"inelepeiitlents.\" as diil the election of 1S!)0? History sometimes repeats itself. Onk of the tactical moves of the able' generals that are directing .Mr. Buchanan's campaign in the south riding is to invoke the aid of the church with which premier Davie affiliates. Mr. Davie is to use his influence with the bishop, and the bishop i.s to instruct the reverend fathers who are to be sent to the riding, anel the reverend fathers are to act as election agents for Mi: Buchanan. The able generals must have a poor opinion of the intelligence of the electors who affiliate with the Catholic church, to even hint at such a move, for the members of that church in the south riding will, toa. man, resent any such dictation. Any attempt to drag the church into politics in British Columbia shoulel be fi'owneel down by the members of both parties: and any such attempt in A Vest Ivootenay will surely react on the party or men attempting it. Onk of Ci. O. Buchanan\"* most active supporters in Nelson says that, if elected to the provincial legislature, Mr. Buchanan will resign and run for the Dominion house. Now it is well known that the Mara interests in southern Kootenay are working to secure Mr. Buchanan's election to the provincial house, and, if one good turn deserves another, .Mr. Buchanan surely, in the hereafter, cannot be a candidate against Mr. Mara. But if it is to be thus, who is to step into (J. O.'s shoes in the local house? Is it to be (iil- bert Malcolm Sproat, whose generalship has already worked such a wonderful result as to change Ivaslo from a government camp into an opposition stronghold? According to the reports sent to Tho Vancouver World antl The Victoria Cole- nist from Kaslo anel Nelson, the government canditlate in tho south rieling of West Kootenay will have a walk-over; all because of the able generalship of the \"old hand'\" that i.s directing his campaign. The \"olel hand\" is none other than Gilbert i\\Ialce)lm Sproat, who for a time was the editor of The Miner. If he displays no better generalship in conducting an election campaign than heelid-in conducting a war of words in a newspaper, the government candidate in the south riding will not save his deposit. Tiik managers of the government party in the south riding say they playeel a waiting -game before nominating their candidate. Yes, each and every one of them wanted the nomination, and they hoped that by deferring the day they would get what they so longingly waited for. ' UNRELIABLE REPORTS. gootl speaker, lie is a sawmill owner tit Kaslo. Tho opposition candidate is J. F. Iltnno, a. Nelson storekeeper, personally respectable anel of amiable manners, but weak, ill-informed, anel unable to address the public with tiny effect, liis support is among those who personally like him a.nd among the I'actioni.it '\"kickers\" who propose to make use of him in the hope of overthrowing the government. The Nelson election committee of government supporter* met lor the first time today, the idea being that about a do/.en might be present to talk over <|iiestions of organisation, and so a small room w.as taken for the purpose. Staunch government men to the number of seventy or eighty, however, appearoel, anel the mooting as- stimeel necessarily a bmaeler character.\" FOR AMERICA'S HOMES. AN ECONOMICAL POSTOFFICE INSPECTOR. .Postoflice inspector Fletcher has been credited with a desire to keep down the expenses of his elistrict, so that the in- come weaild not be excooelcd by the outlay. In doing so, however, hi.s methods are peculiar. One of the most important routes in West Kootenay is the one from Ivaslo te) Sew Denver, by way of Watson anel Three Forks. Tenelers I'or a triweekly mail service were recently asked for. Jnsteael of advertising I'or tende.rs in the newspapers of southern Kootenay, notices wore posteel in the postol'lices at Noise.n and Ivaslo and Watson ami Three .Forks am.) Sew Denver. Instead of adopting a method that woulel havegiven great publicity, which coiilel only have result eel in a greater number of tenders being put in, the opposite course was adoptcel. Of The customs collections in southern Jvootenay tire in the aggregate a sum that justifies the creation of a separate customs district; one independent of New \"Westminister: one in which the reports of thecollecter would godirect to Ottawa, anil not first be sent to a town on the coast. The region that should be embraced in such a district lias already nearly a do/.en sub-collectors and preven- sive officers stationed within it. The sub- ports of Trail, Nelson, and Kaslo are all of more than average importance, and will become more important as the mining industry develops. The bulk of the imports will pass- through some one point on Kootenay lake, anel at 'that' point should be located the office of the collector. Am effort is being made at Ottawa to make'Nakusp a sub-port and Revelstoke the port' I'or the elistrict. That effort is evidently being made in tho in- tercstof the few inelividttals who are interested as real estate speculators at Na- ktispand Revelstoke, anel not in tho interest of cither tlicgovernmentor the people who have; dealings with the customs department. The necessities of this section shoulel tie) longer be subortlinatetl to the self-interest of any member of parliament, oven though that member be our own John Andrew Mara. So far. the only e:aiididates nominated by the government party who tiro straight party men are Messrs. Rithet, Turner, Helmcken. anel Brown of Victoria. All the others are \"independents.\" Messrs. Tatlow anel Anderson of Vancouver tire \"independents.\" Mr. Home of Vancouver is out of the race, anel does not count. Mr. Curtis of New Westminister is an \"iiidopcmlent,\" Mr. Buchanan of the smith riding of West Ivootenay is an '\"independent,\" that is, if elected he: will endeavor to form a party that will ree-eigni/.e him as Icaeler. From present, indications the government party is now in much the same condition as was the opposition in I.S00. Then the opposi- A Specimen one that was Sent from Nelson to the Victoria Colonist. Jt is difficult to form an opinion of tlie relative strength of the two parties by reading the reports published in the press. The organs of the government chronicle every meeting of their party as-largely attended and enthusiastic. Those that .oppose the government report the government party meetings as slimly attended and lacking in spirit. Tiik Trihcnk, while opposed to the return to power of the Davie government, is not an organ in any sense of the word; it is a newspaper, and as such endeavors to be fair in its reports of political meetings. In its report of the proceedings of the caucus that placed Mr. Buchanan in nomination, it gave the names of those who attended the caucus, as well as the names of the Ivaslo electors who signed Mr. .Buchanan's requisition. Of the thirty-eight who attended the caucus, not more than twenty- five can be classed as supporters of the government or its candidate. Judging by the way in which the proceedings were transacted, everything had been pre-arranged���even to the little speech that the candidate made on accepting the nomination. In striking contrast to the report in Tiik Thiihjnk is the following, which appeared in the Victoria Colonist as ti \"special\" from Nelson: \"Nki.son.

We chose this place of assemblage because it is the property of the people, anel if it bo true that the right of the people to peacefully assemble upon theirown premises anil with (heir petitions litis been abrielged by the passage of a law in direct violation e>f the constitution, we are hero to draw tho eyes of the nation to this shameful fact, Here, rather than at tiny spot upon tlie\"coutiiieiit. it is fitting I hat we should come to mourn eiver dead liberties and by our protest arouse the imperilled nation te> such tte-.tiein as si all rescue tlieconstitutiem and resurrect our liberties. Upon these steps where we stand litis been piaced a carpet for the royal loot of tt foreign princess, the ceist of whoso lavish entertainment was taken from the public treasury without thecon- i-onti or the approval of the people: up these steps the lobbyists e>f trusts antl corporations have passoel unchallenged on their way to .committee rooms to which we, the representative's of the ��� toiling wealth producers, have been denied. We stand here today.-iii behalf e>f millions of (ciders, whose'petitions have been buried in committee rooms,.-whose ' prayers have dcen uiiresponded to, and whoso..opportunities for honest, remunerative, productive labor have been taken from them by unjust legislation, which protects idlers,. -speculators, and gamblers.. We come to remind congress here assembldel of the declarations of a United' States senator, .\"That for a'quarter of a century the rich have been growing richer, the poor poorer, and that by the close of the present century the middle-class will have disappeared as the struggle for existence becomes fierce and relentless.\" We stand here to remind congress of its promise of returning prosperity shoulel 'the.Sherman act be repealed. 'Wo stand hero to declare by our march of over o00 miles through difficulties anel distress, a march unstained by even the slightest act which will bring the blush of .shame to 'any, that we tire law 'abiding citi/.ens, and''as' such our actions speak louder than words. We are hereto petition, for legislation \"which will furnish employment for every man able anel willing to work: for legislation which will bring universal prosperity and emancipate our beloved country from financial bondage to the descendants of king George. We have \"coine to the only source which is competent- to. aid the people in their day of dire distress. We are here to tell our representatives who hold their seats .by grace of our ballots, that the struggle for existence litis become too fierce and relentless. Wo come and throw up our defenceless hands and say \".Help or we-anil our loved ones must perish.\" We are engaged iu a bitter aud cruel war with the enemies of all mankind. A war witii hunger, wretchedness, and despair, and we ask congress to heed pur petitions and issue for the nation's good a sufficient volume of the same kind, of money which carried the country through one awful war and saved the life of the nation. In the name' of justice, through whose impartial administration only the present civilization can be maintained and perpetuated by the powers of the constitution of the country, upon which the liberties of the people must dopeuil, and in the name of the count em weal of Christ, whose representative we are. we enter a most solemn and earnest protest against this unnecessary aud cruel act of usurpation anil tyranny and this enforced subjugation of (lie rights and privileges of American citizenship. Wo have assembled here, iu violation of no just la ws, to enjoy the privileges eif overy American citizen. We are under the shadow of the capited of this great nation tiud in the presence of our national legislators tire refused that dearly bought privilege, and by the fore-e of arbitrary power pre.ven tee I from carrying out the elesireofour hearts, which is plainly granted under the great Magna Cliarta of our national liberties. Wo have come hero through toil and weary marches, through storms and tempest, over mountains antl timid the trials of peiverty and distress, to lay e>ur grievances at the doors of our natiemal legislators and ask them in the name of Ilim whose banners we bear, in the name of Him who plexitis for the poor anil the oppressed, that they should heed the voice of ties pair tine I distress that is now coming up freiin every section of emr country; that they shoulel consider the cemelitions of the starving unemployed of our hind and outlet such laws as will give them employment, bring happier conditions to the people anil the smile of coiitentment to our citizens. Coming as we elo, with peace and good will lei men. we shall have lo submit to these laws, unjust as they are, ami obey this mandate of authority of might which overrides .and outrage's the law of right. In doing so we appeal to every peace-loving citizen, every liberty-loving' man or woman, everyone , in Avhose breast the fires of patriotism and love of country has not died out, to assist us iu our efforts toward better laws and general benefits. \"Why They Don't Marry. \"Thirty or forty years ago,\" says Grant Allen, in what he is pleased to call \"A Philosophic View of the Marriage Question.\" \"young men used to rush by blinel instinct into the toils of matrimony���because they could not help themselves. Today they shillyshally, they pick and choose, they discuss, they criticise, they say foolish things about the club, and the flat, and the cost of living. But they don't marry, and it i.s because there are less of young men than formerly. Civilization and its works havocoine teio eptickly upon us. Railways, lelogrttphs. the ltttest edition, have playeel havoc tit last with our nervous systems. 'We bolt our breakfast: we catch the train or bus by the skin of out* teeth; the tape clie-.ks perpetually in our ears the last ((notation; the telephone rings us up at inconvenient moments. Something is always happening somewhere to disturb our equanimity. Life is one turmoil of excitement iind bustle.

The first generation after Stephenson and the nockot pulled through with it somehow. They inherited the sound constitutions of the men who sat on rustic seats in the gardens of the '20's. Tho second generation felt the strain of it more severely. New machines had come in to make life still more complicated. Telegrams, Bell and Fdisun. sub-marine cables, evening papers, poruin bations pouring in'I'rom all sides incessantly. The suburbs growing, the hubbub increasing, metropolitan railways, trains, bicycles, iunumcrahlcs, but we still endured and presented the world till the same with a third generation. That third generation���ah, me! there comes the pity of it! One fancies the impulses to ina try and roar a family has wholly died out of it. It seems to have died out most in the class where the strain iind stress a-re greatest. J don't think young-.men of that class today have the same feelings toward women of their sort sis formerly.

THE SUICIDE. -The coroner's jury passed into the dimly lighted, sopulchrtil room whore the remains t>i! the suicide lay upon tt marble slab. Some ol'them shrank back involuntarily at the entrance; others gave evidence ol: having nerved themselves to look upon the grewsome sight; one or two showed curiosity. They came in noiselessly, with uncovered heads, and spoke' to eae.h-other in low' tones, as if; tearing to disturb the silence which death 011- ��� throned .\"imperiously- demands. For, indeed, the opject before them was ghastly. No kind hands had closed the lids over the protruding eye-balls, nor bound up the hanging jaw, which gave to the gaping mouth the appearance of having, for its last office, uttered some terrible cry. From each of the corners of the mouth and down the chin slowly oozed a few remaining drops e>f blood. The hair at the back of the head was matted and damp Avith the crimson fluid. In life the suicjele had been a man, young and handsome. Beyond the fact that lie av;is dead, nothing was known of him���the witnesses could' tell no more. So the charitable placard, \"Unidentified,\"-was still allowed to hang above hi in. When thejury entered the room, one of them���a -prosperous-looking, elderly man���quickly advanced to the side of the corpse. He bent his head down to the face of the dead,-and kept it there. The action startled those in the room until it was seen that he was critically examining the self-inflicted wound. He peered into the blood-stained mouth and closely .scrutinized the back of the head. As lie straightened up again, there was an inele- finable expression of grim satisfaction upon, his countenance which mildly shocked more than one of hi.s f el low-jurymen. After the jury had retiree! and were waiting in their room for the coroner to receive their verdict, one of them vt-u- tureil an interrogative remark to him: You seem to take an unusual interest iu our unfortunate subject?\" \"Yes���surgically.\" \"Then you are a surgeon ?\" \"It was my' profession once; but, unfortunately, it litis been a long time since .1 practiced it. The dead nitin in there eliel well.\" \"Did you say well?\" interrupted an ancient-looking juryman with great sever- i ty. \"L eliel,\" replied the surgeon; \"he elirl liis work well. By placing the muzzle of his pistol against the roof of his mouth and shooting upward, there was no possible escape from instant death, anel that is what he sought.\" \"An ill-done eleed well done,\" was the epigrammatic comment of another. \"J think it was well done in every aspect of the case,\" continued the surgeon ; \"he hael cause���he must have hud cause��� to justify his action.\" This rather sensational assertion attracted general attention, and the ascetic- looking \"juryman observed, with even in- creaseel severity: \"I take it yon tire not a religious man?\" \"Probably not, in your acceptation of the term,\" was the answer. \"I subscribe to none of the popular dogmatic creeds,, yet I believe in conscience, morality, anel tin intelligent creator. We are given no volition as to whether or not we shall be born ; but this is, in a great measure, cemi- nensatcd by the fact that, if we fiuel lifea burden, we have in our e.wii hands the power to end it. if our death works no injury tei the living, it is none either but our own affair. Only a cowan I would ele- eei-t.tlio.se dependent upon him.\" \"That line of sophistry litis been refuted ���i thousand times,\" cried hi.s questioner .with some excitement. \"Possibly: but those are my views, nevertheless.\" As ho said this, he took from his pocket \"a small memoranda-book, tore from it a leaf upon which he wrote something in pencil, iind then replaced the book. '���The juryman \"who first induced the surgeon te) make his strange declaration, hael evidently been entertained by it, antl ���sought again to el raw him out. \"No one was over yet sane, in my opinion, at the moment of taking his own life.\" he averred. \"1 do not .agree with you,\" said the surgeon, placidly; \"to me the persistent clinging to a, miserable life when death is far preferable, is1 rather the evidence of insanity. Many instances can be imagined where .death i.s a boon; a deadly and incurable disease: cruel sulTering in till its forms, with noprospect of surcease; life imprisonment; senility; insanity; deep humiliation anil permanent disgrace. The last tire as strong nsany to tempt one to sclf-elestruction. I know of such constituted the family. All that money could do was eloiie for the son. Attaining man's estate, he was given tin important anel responsible position in tt largo financial institution in which the father was iuteresteel. All went well, and te) them both life was well worth the living. Hut one day something terrible htippeneel; the son was a defaulter���the father, disgracoel and financially involved. \"The son fled, and for a long time indignation alone burned in the breast of the father. Gradually the old, all-absorbing 'affection, for his son came back to him, aud he set out to find him. After many disappointment's,, his search was at last .rewarded.' He had but a few years at best to live himself. He did not want them after lie had found his son. He wanted relief���death.\" And then this man, who had discoursed with such uninipassioned fluency, deliberately took from hi.s pocket a revolver, placed it in his mouth, fired, aud fell over dead. From his outstretched hand a crumpled' piece of paper fell. Upon it was written: \"Bury us together. He was my son.\" GLADSTONE AS A FINANCIER. Always Governed by a Scrupulous, Old-Fashioned Sense of Honor. Lo idon Investors' Review: \"A stately figure has left the political arena since the last number of this Review,appeared, and already while yet he lives, his apotheosis has begun. The men who but the other day reviled him now say'he is a great-man;' even the Times itself, the most .spiteful and rancorous political sheet in the three kingdoms, except perhaps its imitator, the Scotsman, now mourns only over his latter career. hi a, few years or months, it anel its.kind will be quoting his utterances as words of golden wisdom compared with those of their new political bugbears. Degrading, .sordid, uncletin to tlie spectacle���viewed close���of political strife 'always, and we want none of it in these pages. To us, all too frequently, politicians of all hues seem mostly on tho side of the devil iu human a (fairs.. They as a rule shy, not what i.s true iu itself, but what they think their ���polling-booth supporters will esteem truth. Such has become the law of \"popular\" government���-a savage war of self-interest for the uieistptirt, whose ultimate result no man can foree-.ist. It is not as a politician, then, that we note the departure of .Mr. Glaelstone (Venn the office of prime minister tmel from public life���not its a politician, but as a political iind social economist;. The present generatitm has forgotten mostof this life's work, knows naught of what it owes to liis labors, and wo can but briefly recall the past here. In eloing so erne; general observation may be permitted. Throughout his life Mr. (I'laelstone litis been eminently clean-handed. Not only litis he never taken a pension for himself from tlie public purse, but ho has never, when not in ofliee, eked out his income by means unworthy a-gentleman anel a man of true honesty, lie preferred to write magazine articles anel books about Homer. Consequently his name is never found among those who 'punt' on the Stock lOx- chango; no limitcel liability eennpany ever got him to be a director, norcotilel asingle financier ever conjure with his prestige' because of any selfish interest he might j have iu view. .Mr. Gladstone's very pur- ityof ininel and ennelucf in this anel either respects was doubtless tt source e>f weak- j ness to liitn in practical affairs, anel for one thing marks him throughout his career a big judge of men. Charlatans could always impose upon him for a time if they weie plausible, because the simplicity ami uprightness e>f his own ininel anil life unfitted him for comprehending baser-niineled individuals. To no small extent his virtues were the cause of the intense htitreel with which so many regarded him, and in this respect his successor i.s much more favorably placed for the enjoyment of a, long anel prosperous political career. Lord Kosebery knows till about tlie turf and the stock exchange, those 'dear e)Iel Knglish vices.\" About Mr. Gladstone there litis always been something of the ecclesiastic in the best sense, and a gootl dettl of the dialectician and theological causuist. But te> us, above all other characteristics of a great personality, stands out doniinaiiLly this attribute of cleanness. It is visible hot only in his own life, but in the way he has abstained from quartering his family upon the nation.' We remember'.once hearing' about a relative of his who declared with strong language that, had he been a complete stranger to the prime minister, he would have long since-had promotion in the fighting service of which he was a. humble subaltern. The ��� complaint was beyond doubt justified by the facts, for a scrupulous ami noble sense of honor���old-fashioned and rare always���governed the late prime-minister's conduct in this respect also, as all who care to look at the actual positions of his children can see for themselves. Differ from him politically as men may, and as on some things thoughtful men niiist, it is impossible, looking at the facts, for anyone not to admit that in losing Mr. Gladstone's services the nation parts with oneof the purest, and, in all that relates to himself and his family, most unselfish man who ever helped',to guide its affairs.\" NOT APPRECIATED. A Breacli-of-Promise Case. 31 r. Sergeant Wilkins once defended n breach-of-proniise case for tt singularly ugly little man, which he told the defendant, after reading his brief, must bt \"bounced\" through. And the sergeant did bounce it through in a. truly remarkable maimer. \"Gentlemen of the jury,' he said, at the close of tt most eloquent speech,\" you have heard the evidence foi the plaintiff; and, gentlemen of thejury, you have seen and.have admired that most bewitching plaintiff herself. Gentlemen, do you believe that this enchanting, this fascinating, this captivating, this accomplished lady would for one moment favor the advances or listen with anything save scorn and indignation to the amorous protestations of the wretched and repulsive lioiniinculus, the deformed and degraded defendant?\" : His client looked up from the well of the court anel piteously murmured: \"Mr. Sergeant Wilkins! Oh, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins!\" \"Silence, sir!\" replied the sergeant, in a wrathful 'undertone. \"Gentlemen,\" he continued, bringing his fist down heavily on the desk before him, \"do you think that this lovely laely, this fair and smiling creature, woulil ever have permitted an offer of marriage to be made to her by this miserable atom of humanity, this stunted creature, who would have to stand on a sheet of note paper to look over twopence?\" The jury at once gave a verdict for the defendant. Ingenious Meanness. A good story comes from an Ontario village, and a report of the ingenuity of man's acquisitiveness may be a pointer for some of those not averse to turning an honest penny���their way. It is reported that a certain brother in the fold, who takes an active part in church work, and in whom implicit confidence has been placet! by his associates, has beeiieletectexl with a piece of sticky fly paper in hi.s hat when he went to take up the collection at the church. All the coins that dropped upon the fly paper staid there, and it was nmti/.ing how the big pieces croweleel the little ones off. When the audience hael been solicited, this smooth iuelivieliial would advtiue.c anel turn his htit upside flown over thntof another whe) hail been .soliciting1, the audience on the other sifle of tho house. All the coin that drop]>ed belonged to the church, anel all that retnaincil in the. hat was to remunerate him for the weirk he htitl elone, so to speak. There is said to bo blood em the i'ae-e of the moon, and the gtieiel brother, who is a P. P. A. and has political aspirations, antl the one's whotraught him iu the act are having a time. The sequel is yet to be written, but when daffodils begin to show their heaels through the sun- kissed soil itnel buels herald the leafy 'lays of springtime, n convocation of wise men and elders of the church are expected to set em the matter, anel gists who want to so should advertise its uses. -meanwhile Urttg- I stietky fly paper newly dise:eivereil Must Stay at Home.

Iii Harper's Weekly of April 11 th. Caspar W. Whitney, under the heading, \"An Unappreciated Game.\" has an excel- lentarticlegivingn history of the popular Canadian game of lacrosse antl bemoaning the lack of interest in and appreciation of the game in the United States. Mr. Whitney says that the game has even more charms than football or baseball, and declares it to be the greatest game played by civilized man. Lacrosse i.s an Indian game iind like the people from which we derive it, its origin fades into obscurity and it is impossible to learn anything of its early history. '. ISveii the Indian traditions of lacrosse tire very scarce, and they know only that the game came down to them from father to son as have been their customs. When first played by the Indians the goal was a single pole'or a< tree or a rock,,.and the length of a fieltl anywhere from oOO yards to half a mile. There was no limit to the lumber of participants, sometimes (500, -100, and even a 1000 players engaging in it. A notable feature of the Inelian game wsis the absolute sinking of all individual play into general team play, even in teams consisting of hundreds'of.'players. The gallic as played by the Indians was not sc> scientific as that of today, but was rather one which tested the speed anel wind and was'a good training school for the -warrior. It is hard to say when the game was lirst played by Canadians, but it must have been early in the present century. In lS-K) the Montreal club was organized tnel played matches with the Indians, but only succeeded in winning one game,in the season. In , 1800 a match was played .it Montreal for the pleasure of the prince of Wales, and in that year William Beers published a pamphlet in which he attempted to ret luce the game to a set of rules. Lacross began to crystallize as we have.it today in 1870, when the old bagged cross was discarded, the size of the field was reduced to 125 yards, and the number of players was restricted. Since then the game has spread .over Canada and is played everywhere. It is played by the youngsters as soon as they are strong enough to wield thestickanel every country town and village has its senior tind junior lacre>sse clubs. What lacrosse is accomplishing for our boys antl young men is apparent to every visitor,\"and nowhere in the world can finer specimens of boyhood and young manhood in their rugged health and strength be seen. As played now lacrosse requires the greatest combination of mental and physical activity that men can sustain in recreation. Head, speed, and endurance tire required, and each player has tin opportunity to exercise these finalities. To tho. spectator the game'may at times appear to be ti little rough, but it is not nearly so much so as. football, and there is certainly no name in the world so attractive to the onlooker. It eliffers from football in being absolutely intelligible to the most, uninformed layman and from baseball in giving more opportunity for play to more men on the same .side simultaneously, it abounds in open and beautiful plays, iinei the onlookers see the pretty stops of goal keepers, the long throws of the ele- fense, the fast running anel eloelging of the centers tind the clever stick weirk ejf the attacks. We heipe that the Xelson club which has been recently organized will during the coming.season sustain the town's reputation for manly sports. Other clubs throughout the province are already at work anil are sustaining the national game of.Canatla. Great care shoulel be exercised to provenit, ns far as possible, the introduction of professionalism, as just so seifin as professional luemsse.' players secure control of the game it will commence te) deterioriate. Not Wanted in Canada. There are signs, says the Toronto O'lobe. that we-are drifting far toward the ostentation of royalty at Otttiwn. It is a far slop from Dublin castle to eleuieicratie Canada. Many fashions iind displays that would, perhaps, seem imposing in the olel html, amiel aristocratic surrouuilings and sanctiemeel by ancient customs, verge: upon the groUt<(\\ue here. What this country wants is plain business uietheids. anel plain, business administration. We may go out em the street e'orners tei look at the four-horse-team, and hear tht-biinel. anil see the soldiers go by. but we regard the; parade very much as we elo the circus procession witli the prancing steeds ami the gileleel e-.-iges anil the steam pin no. The glittering Windsor uniforms and the richly upholstered page-s at the state levee must always seems an unreal part, of life in this community, and must always be out of harmony with every true ('aiiitfliiin \"fuiictiem.\" So the regulat iems lor iielmissioii to the pre.senci. of vice- royalty which set apart n senator's en- trane.-e, an enl.rane-e reserved for iimnibcrs, (heir wives ami elalighters, anil a third reserved for \"ladies and gentlemen other than those nientionee!\" tire absurd, offensive anil wholly out of touch with the best Canadian ideals. Lord ami lady Aberdeen have won a close place in the esteem of tlie mass of the Canadian people. It will be a pity if they encourage the imported ostentation, class distinctions and general social tom-foolery which seem to be on the increase at the: capital. We have; the circus and amateur theatricals tit the regular rates of admission. Why should we enelow either as a national institution? THE MOUNTAIN SUCCESS. He \"Who Reached Its Summit Left Happiness Behind. In the valley of Life there is a mountain, steep and rugged, named Success;. There is no path leading up his precipitous side, aud he who would ascend must prepare his own way before him. hewing down trees, pressing aside brambles, and rolling huge boulders outof his rone!, or crushing them into tho earth and treading upon them with triumphant, but bleeding feet. One caiiie to tlie foot of this mountain one fair summer day, and looked upward to its dome towering into the skies, and lie said : \"Tomorrow will I climb it\"��� and he fell to chasing golden butterflies through thoscented air. Anel the morrow came, but he only looked upward and said again: \"Next week will I climb it\"���for who coulel work when the primroses were yellow on the river's bank? And when a week hael passed, he looked upward, and 'said once more: Next 'year will I climb it\"���for, hear! how glad the wild birds were in the meadows; surely this was no time for work. And when a year. had. passed, lo! he looked upward, shaking his head. \"I am so happy here, \"he ���said, \"with only the birds and the flowers and the beautiful dreams that steal out of star-light anel abide with me. I shall never climb; for he who climbs must leave love behind.\" But'he waved a God speed to the ones who had set out in youth's morning tind were climbing away, wearily, in the heat tind thirst of the noon. Another came, with flashing eyes, tind set out boldly I'or the mountain top; he climbeel swiftly and vigorously, and always when he Intel forced a boulder outof his own way, he rolled it into the path of a- brother.struggling below, and said, between closeel teeth : \"Let them work.-is I have,\" and went on hi.s way. But, as his hand was against every man, itnel in his heart were only hate and envy, it came te> pass that he leist all interest in the valley of Life tind in the mountain of Success: tind he lay flown weak ami bitter-hearted in the shadow of the rock naineel Scorn ��� for lie had not.strength anel hop'u to reill it out of his path; and lie hatotl the people who patiently clinibeel p;ist hint, and flung thorns anel stones in .their way, .that then* poor feet must bleed, -for being too bitter and teio narrow-iiiineleel to climb higher, he would have kept all others bottnil down to hi.s level. Ami lei! who came, with upturned eyes, to the mountain, and set out in the early morning for the summit. He climbed slowly, patiently, faithfully: ho put aside the theirns with ten-it lingers, anel. pre.isseel bleeding feet where the rocks had lain; his eyes were turned ever upward, and he loo keel neither te> the right nor to the left. Pleasure beekeineil te> him from glaeles oi' i flowers anel music, reaching out. soft, bare arms to tempt him, and haunting him I with her beautiful eyes: Pest begged him j to slop his fe.-et in a dark bower where j e-eieil breezes fanneel. tind 'lay his tireel. burning heael upon her bosom.and Id, her teneler linge-rs press pain from his beating temples: Love, star-eyed and ptire- bre-astcd, stooel in his path ami gave him one look Hint, set his veins lo swelling with passionate delight.

Things are quiet there lie says. It is too close to the line and a number of dead broke men have come m there looking for work. S. M. Wharton is back among us once more. He has left the route from Spokane to New Den- J ver plastered all over with advertisements of the town. The government has sent in A. Cttmer- on to report on the condition of the wagon road. After his report goes to Nelson and Victoria, we may hope to have something done. sidorably expanded ,and their specific gravity greatly reeluced; up to a certain limit the muscles of their bodies can counteract the tendency Lo float upward, tind enable the fish to regain its proper sphere tif life tit the bottom; but beyond that limit the muscles are not strong enough to drive the body downward, and the fish, he-coming moro and'more dis- Leneleel as it goes, is graelually killed on its long and involuntary journey to the surface of the sea. That such accidents ele> occur is evielenced by the fact that some fish, which are known to be true eleep-,se:a forms, were discovered dead antl floating on the surface of the ocean long before our modern investigations were e-enninenccd. OBSERVE ��� THE REGULATIONS. The Marine Act Repeatedly Violated on Kootenay Lake. ' It; will bo remembered that the merchants on Ivootontiy lake were mulcted in various sums for a violation of tho customs regulations; a violation, as they claimed, through ignorance of the law. The owners of steamboats on Kootenay lake may also be ignorant of the regulations which govern the running of steam vessels, and if they would not be treated as were the merchants, they had better road the following, which is compiled by a mail \"well versed on the-Marine Act: The expression \"freight boat\" means steamboats carrying freight only. The expression \"passenger\" means any person carried on a steamboat other than tlie master antl crew, and the owner, hi.s family tind servants connected witli his household. The expression \"passenger steamboat\" means any steamboat except yachts used exclusively for pleasure without hire of any kind���carrying any person other than the master and crew, the owner, his family and the servants connected with liis.-household..- ft will be observed that the word is owner in the singular, not owners. The expression \"owner\" includes the lessee or charterer of any such vessel, ft is iiot owners or charterers, only either in the singular. This is done on purpose because \"owners or charterers\" would open a very wide door. This ought to make the matter clear, both to steamboat men and the ���chief officer of customs. The master, owner, or person in charge for the time being of any steamboat oil which a greater number of passengers than that allowed by her certificate are at any time carried, or in respect of which no certificate authorizing the carrying of passengers has been granted and in which passengers are carried, is guilty of an offence against this act, and- shall for each such offence incur a penalty not exceed-, ing $500 and not les.s than $100 and costs; and such steamboat shall be liable for the same and chargeable therewith, and if such penalty is not paid forthwith the steainboatshall be-seized and sold by any chief officer of customs thereto directed by the minister.\" SOUTH RIDING VOTERS' LIST.
