THE NELSON REGISTRY OFFICE Work Will Be Commenced at Once Upon a Fire Proof Building ' Hon. J. Fred Hume, minister oi' mines and pi'ovincial secretary, returned home Wednesday evening to get things in readiness for tlie by-election made necessary by his acceptance of office. He does not expect a contest, anil iu fact lias received many assurances that none will lake place, but he intends to lie ready for any emergency. ,\\Vi\"'h re-po l to tho political out look the inini-ter of mini's predict;- smooth sailing for l.lie new administration,' und he is saiislied that when the government; meets ihe legislature it will have, nothing to fear i'roni a division. It i.s likely (hat several ot the election trials will come off before the house meets and in sumo instances it is likely that sitting members who were elected to support the Turner government will not light the protests against them. It i.s also within tiie realms of probability that one or two seats at present held by members of tlie opposition will be rendered vacant by the voluntary absence of the members. In short there is every indication that the government will gain strength between the present aud the opening of the house, and that the opposition upon a division will be found much weaker than some anticipate. While in the city Mr. Hume will make arrangements for the building of a land registry office on the government reserve below the jail. This will bo a lire proof building of either brick or stone. A land registry office is something which the people of the interior have been clamoring for for several yearn, hut the nearest approach to f he construction of it' was tho voting of a sum ot #1000 during the Last session for the erection of lhe building. With respect to dismissals from the civil service, Mr. Hume suited that while there have been several dismissals already they were rendered necessary in conformity with the new government's policy of economy consistent with efficiency. With respect to those who have been dismissed, so far in every case the dismissals were due to the fact rhat the 'official dismissed was incompetent, or that there was no necessity for the office. It is not the intention of the new government to enter upon any general policy of dismissal with respect; to the civil service. The government recognizes Ihe necessity of .securing good men aud that it will lie impossible to get them) if anything in the nature of the spoils system is intro- which places in tlie civil ser- vacanf duced by vice are virtually the rendered every time 1 hero is a change of government.

Development on Dundee to be Resumed. W. A. Galliher on Wednesday attended the meeting of the Duudee directors in Rossland. The chief business transacted was the arranging for tlie future development of the mine aud the erection of the concentrating mill and the purchasing aud installation of a 17-drill compressor plant. It was decided to complete the concentrator as rapidly as possible, to continue the development of the mine and to at once purchase' and install a 7- drill compressor. The matter of purchasing the plant was left to J. L. Parker, the consulting engineer of the comjiany. Tlie report of Frank Robbing, mining engineer., on the condition of the Dundee and its promising-outlook was read. It showed that there were some 24,000 tons of ore in sight and dilated on the outlook and said that it was a good mine and might, with development, become a great mine. It corroborated all the previous reports of .1. L. Parker, and seemed to greatly please the directorate. Gratifying Development at the Whitewater. The London & B. C Goldfields company is meeting with great success in the development of the Whitewater property in tlie Slocan. The company has issued a circular to the shareholders informing them that the development done upon the property has opened up au ore body which exceeded the company's expectations, but the conditions have not been favorable for the shipment of large quantities of ore. Since March 21 th to the hitter part of August the shipments did not exceed 120 tons. The grade of the ore, however, is improving, the last car load averaging i(i0 ounces silver. Separate Company to Take Over Yrnir The British Columbia Review contains a paragraph to the effect that a special settlement on the stock exchange has been, applied for by the Sew ('olden Twins. Ontario--22!**J ��1 shares, fully paid, and f>!V7H. Vendors' CI shares, fully paid. The company will carry into effect an agreement with the ..London and British Columbia Goidfiekls I'or the purchase of the Villi.' gold mines, situate at Wild Horse creek, West Ivootenay, comprising four claims, known as the Vmir, Rockland, Mugwump-and'Golden Horn. Slocan Men Have NoLuek W. R. Will of New Denver has returned from Dawson City. He has been in the north for over a year, and says that there are many rich claims on t he Klondyke, but the seclion is spotted. California Jim McDonald made a.small stake working a bench claim on Bonanza creek. Jim went east last week. Toiighnut Jack did not lose hi.s legs by frost a.s has been reported. Archie Grant and Pete Anname Le Roi Development Aifects Realty. Rossland Leader: No wonder real estate is moving upwards in Rossland. There are four machines working abreast in shipping ore on the 700-foot level of theLe Roi mine opening the ground for stoping. Twenty-eight feet of rich ore is like a million dollars, something easily expressed in figures, but with difficulty expressed in fact. By comparison this body: of ore is nine times as wide and three times as rich as the main reef on the Rand. A depth of 1.00 feet of such a body is equal to a depth of 2700 feet in a Rand mine and a chute a huudred feet long is equal to 2700 feet on the strike of the Rand reef. These are astounding figures. Real estate in Rossland should and will go to a very long price, backed a.s it is by such mines as are almost within the town limits. ' Another Thins Which Might Happen .''' The Times of Victoria has been served with papers in a libel action which is being instituted against it by ex-attorney general Eberts. It i.s understood tliat the proceeding is based upon the allegations in the Times as' to advice tendered by attorney general Eberts to lieutenant governor Mclnues with respect to the signing of the warrants for expenditure. There is some speculation as to the outcome in the event of the Times pleading justification and calling upon his honor to testify, and whether in such an event the lieutenant governor would claim that he was privileged from testifying. This, of course, opens up considerable room for speculation; but supposing on the other hand that his honor has no objection to going into the witness box and recites the subject matter of those several interviews with the attorney general, what then? . Every Man His Own Brewer. \"In the event of the government passing a law prohibiting the sale or use of wines, liquors, etc., throughout the dominion, is ic intended to prohibit private individuals from making wine, beer or cider in their own houses, for their own consumption and give to any of their friends who may call?\" The above is a question which a correspondent put to the editor of the. News-Advertiser. The reply of the editor may be of interest, lie says the law would prohibit the traffic iu intoxicating liquors. There would be no interference with private individuals who might brew their own beer or make other kinds of fermented liquors iu their own homes for their own consumption.

Haney, in which the plaintiff's action was dismissed for failure to comply with the order of the court, ie rites the following as bearing upon the ] ii lint in dispute: '���Iu this, act ion au oi der, dated I lie 211 h of June. 1 HOW, wai- made lhat certain costs due to t lie defendants iu a finmer action bo.Weru t he same pari ies \"-houhi be paid within one week' after service of the order, or, in default, that the present action should siand dismissed with costs. The order having been served on the plaintiff's solicitor on the 27th of June last, .he week necessarily expired on the -ith of July follow ing. A check for 279.11���the amount of the costs��� was sent on the .'30th of June by Messrs. Eberts ife Taylor of Victoria, agents for Mr. Gait, the'plaintiff's solicitor, of Rossland, to Messrs. McPhillijis, Wootton ic Barnard in this city, as agents I'or the defendants' solicitor, Mr. John Elliott of Nelson ; but-the latter firm returned the check immediately, on the ground of their having had no instructions to receive it. Thereupon 'Messrs. Ebcits ic Taylor got the Merchant's' Bank of Halifax here to telegraph to its branch office at Xelson a credit in favor of Mr. Elliott for the $279.-11. Mr. Kydd, the manager of the branch office, says that about I p.m. of the same day he received the telegram, and within the next, hour he called at Mr. Elliot's office, aud, finding he was engaged, informed his brother, who wa.s also his partner, that the mouey was in the bank at Mr. l.llioU's disposal. He also .says that on the -Ith of July 'die bank formally credited Mr. Elliott with the amount', although he did not keep his banking account with ihcm, and that four or five days afterwards lie asked Mr. Elliott if he intended to 'draw' the money, and that ihe latter said he did not. Mr. Elliott says that this coversaiion occuired on the 9th day of July���the day of the jirovincial elections���aud I am inclined to regard this statement a.s being more conclusive than Mr. Kydd's general statement as to four or live days. Besides, a tender on the fifth day, even if properly made, would have been too late. In any event, iu view of the above facts, no tender was made; consequently, the contention of Mr. Taylor that jiayment ought to be im- jilied i.s out of I he question.

MINING- ACTIVB AT AINSWORTH Low Stage of Water Causes Annoyance The creeks in Kootenay are lower than at any time since 1S90, and many of the users of water power'are'being hampered in their operations. At Nelson, the electric light jilant is run by water diverted from Cottonwood Smith creek; but owing to the low stage of water, only 175 horse power' of the 275 horse jiower 'developed can be used. This has necessitated the cutting out of a number of the electric lights in the residence part of the city as; well as all of the street lamps. This happens at a time when the question of the legality of the purchase of the electric light plant by the city is in courts, and the-\\ opponents of the purchase, through the Miner aud the Economist, are making the most of it. It is strange that the people who do not use electric light are doing nearly all the \" kicking.\" Not Willing to Grive Extension. 'Work on the Mollie Hughes is not being pushed with the energy that characterized the opening of the property. This is not because of the lack of ore or favorable indications, but Mr.-Sandiford does not feel inclined to spend a great amount of money on the property until he receives word from his comjiany regarding the taking,uji of the bond, which is now iu doubt, owing to^the company askiug for- an extension of time of 90 days to permit of further work being done. The owners of the property are not inclined to give the extension, since they claim to have other big moneyed concerns ready to take the j)i'Oi>erty should Mr. Sandiford's syndicate throw it up. Another Kootenay Railway Scheme. The Fort Steele Prospect, r has notice of ajijiiication for a charter for a railroad to connect with the Crow's Nest pass line at some point between Wardner and Elk River, to run up the east side of Ivootenay-river to Windermere, whore the river will be crossed aud the road continued uj.l Toby creek and across the Selkirk range to the foot of lake Duncan, thence uj) the' Lardo river to Trout lake and thence in a.s direct a line as 'possible to taji the Revelstoke branch of the C. P. II. it is stated that work will be started on the iine next spring if a charter is granted. Almost every mile of the lino would lie through a mineral country which needs transportation and is ready for it. High Grade Silver Cup Shipments The .Sunshine, limited, the owners of the .Silver Cii]> mine in the Trout; lake district, has received from Ihe Selby .Smelting and Lead Comjiany cheek's for $12,*.S21.95 (freight, treatment and duty charges deducted) iu respect of shijiments of 12! tons of Silver Cuj) ore to the smelter. A further shi|iinent of about 50 ton-' has just gone forward. This makes a total of something over 0.10 tons sliijijiet 1 during the last few months, all the ore being of the same high grade character. During the past few weeks something in the nature of a general mining activity struck- the old Ainsworth camp, and the jieople of the town are more hopeful 'than they have been for two or three years. On the Highland property a considerable force of men i.s employed on the mine and at the mill. The Albion projierty is being operated and furnishes employment for several men. The Number One is working steadily. There are twenty men employed on the Little Phil, and arrangements are being made to resume work on the Little Donald. ���The Colfee creek air supply concern furnishes emjiloyment for a number of men aud there are ten men at work building the Trail' uji Colfee creek to the headwaters. Ft is likely that several shijanerits will be made over this trail during the approaching winter. Work has also been resumed on the Old Jerusalem claim on Cedar creek. This is one of the oldest claims in the camp aud was secured by its present owner nine years ago. At jiresent there are twelve men working ou the property driving cross-cut tunnels. It is the intention of the owner to utilize the Water of Cedar creek for the jiurjio.se of developing power for the prosecution of the work upon the claim, aud a jilant similar to that on Woodbury creek is talked of. A wagon road i.s also being built from the end of tlte old government road to the Jerusalem property. On the .Skyline tenders have been called for the sinking of a 100-foot shaft ujion that property, and it is expected that the contract will be let next week. Frank Fitch and Alex McLeod are working ou the Nighthawk, a projierry located to the south of the Kraal, and they have one of the Jjest showings iu the canqi. Thuoe who I'/ave have been uji to the property say that they have twelve feet of ore showing. i-Vank Heap is working his Woodbury creek jiroperty, which was thrown tip some time ago by the parties who had it under bond aud is meeting with every encouragement. He will jirobably make considerable shipments from the property this winter. Courage Often Pays. Toronto Telegram : It is a jiity that no basis can be established for an exact com- ji.'M'ison of the effects of sincerity and courage with the results of insincerity and cowardice. Canad mostly the victims of a station that timid!.}.' is ihe greatest of all the jiolitical virtues. Few public men care to take t lie risks which attach to a policy-of outspoken.bravery, but the proportion of men who are brave and fail is not signally greater than the proportion of men who are cowardly and fail. Even in.politics, and Canadian jiolitics at that, courage and sincerity are no surer guides to failure than cowardice and insincerity. worse than death. A correspondent who recently visited the chief prison of the Canton of Vaud, where the assassin will be confined, describes as sad indeed the result of solitary life imjirisoumerit. One man whom he saw, the perpetrator of a. series of murders in the mountains, had been in the cell for fifteen years, with the result'that he completely lost his reason. The governor of the prison confessed that in view of this and other similar cases, his views of'cajjital .punishment had undergone a complete change, and that he' was now strongly in favor of the death penalty. Cjion a sentence of life imprisonment the assassin will be jjlacecl in a small, dark cell, from which he will never emerge, and will be fed'just enough to support life. There is no hope for the assassin being sent to Austria for trial, as the murder of the emiiress on Saturday took place on the public1\" thoroughfare and not in the private apartments of the Avstrian party.

This is the lirst time that a balance has appeared on the right side of the account since 1893. The deficit iu 1891 was $1,210,000: in 1805, $1,153,000; in 1S90, $330,000: aud in 1897, $51.9,000.

Still Talking of a General Klection Toronto, September .1.0.���The Mail and khiijiire's leading editorial says: Several circumstances point to the j.iossibility of a general election for the dominion before next session, the government thus taking advantage, it says, of the results of good crops, larger exjiorts and an alleged surplus, etc. There iu no Deceit. The emperor of Germany has jiromised a bill to prohibit strikes, in tlie L'nited States the courts issue injunctions ordering the men to work for', unsatisfactory wages.

The life imprisonment, with solitary C'piifincmcnt in store for ihe Austrian em- jiress' assassin is declared by those acquainted with Swiss jirisons to be vastly At the meeting of the city council on Monday afternoon a communication was read from John Elliot, formerly city solicitor, in which he declined to turn over to the corjioration the city mouies and jiajiers in his possession until his costs were paid. Mayor Houston was: empowered to take the necessary steps to secure the return of the corjioration jiroperty. A communication was read from Messrs. Fell and Gregory ou behalf of theNelsou Land and Improvement Comjiany with respect the arbitration to determine the value of the lauds exjiropriafced by ,the corjioration for the construction of the waterworks system. The aim of the im- provement company is to have submitted to the arbitrators the fixing of the value of several jiieces of land which were not acquired by tlie corjioration, but which they claim were damaged by the construction of the waterworks. The mayor was authorized to correspond with the solicitors with a view to securing a settlement. A letter from |iremier Semlin was read in which he stated that he would fake uji fhe matter of the transfer of land, with the Canadian Pacific railway with a view- to securing to the corjioration the recreation grounds. In this connection mayor Houston explained that during his recent visit to the capital he had taken the matter uji with tiie jirovincial authorities and found that jnactically no jirogress had been made in the matter, as the former government had done nothing in the way of me.\"t itig t h\" wishes of the citizens in t his rcsjiect. Tho council did not take any action in the matter of completing its arrangement to supjily the Hall Mines with water as ���the present low stage of water would not justify the council in entering into such arrangement, and the matter went over. In view of the low stage of water in Cottonwood-Smith creek the council decided to cut off the street lamps and cut off the light supply in the residential portion of the city above the corner of Stanley and Carbonate streets. Mayor Houston exjilained that in view of the proceedidgs taken to quash the electric light bylaw it would be impossible to take the necessary steps to improve the service. The proper course, in his opinion, was the utilization of steam power during the low stage of the water, but at jiresent; situated as matters were, nothing could very well be done until the matter was out of the courts. .' Tiie council decided to call for tenders for the construction of the following sewers, tenders to be in by Monday afternoon: On Cedar street, I'roni Water street to Vernon street. On Vernon street, from Cedar street to Park street. On lane at rear of captaan Hayward'sresi- dence, from Cedar street to Park street. On lane between Lake street and Front street, from Cedar street to Park street. With respect to the application of Kootenay Lodge No. 10,1. O. F., for the purchase of two acres in the new cemetery, it wa.s decided to take no action until the ground was .platted, when an auction will beheld so that,churches and societies desiring ground will have an equal chance. The city engineer was'instructed to have the road to the cemetery built at once by day labor. Mayor Houston was authorized to ascertain whether the sufferers by. the New Westminster lire required assistance, and receiving an affirmative rejily telegraphed $500 to mayor Ovens on Tuesday. The council decided to engage a night- watchman to look after tlie business jiorlion of the city. The ollice is being Idled by T. I'lyan. Afraid of a Prohibition Victory There is evidence every day to show that the Laurier government is in mental dread of a prohibition victory at the |iolls. La I'atrie, Hon. Mr. Tarte's organ, throws oil' the mask c'oinjiletely and jiubiishes an article, written no doubt by the minister of public: works himself. The article ti|)- peals to the farmers with the stateniont that the distilleries being closed a jirofit- able market for barley, corn and other grains would be lost to tlio farmers of Canada'by jirohibition. Le I'atrie also sttites that the farmer should not lose sight of the fact that total jirohibition would entail the failure of ��� thousands of cunning establishments and throw at least 30,000 emjiioyces on the streets. In the Face of Some Jumper's Bluff He Secures a Good. Property J. F. Bledsoe, who for a time was connected with the Nelson Miner, has returned to Vancouver after a several weeks sojourn in Montana. According to his account he had a rather exciting time 61' it in an endeavor to secure and develop a gold piojierty in < Bear Gulch, Park county, ..Montana. Bledsoe's story is as follows : Mr. J I. Bush, Mi Vancouver jieople Bailway Conqupiy li. P. R. Tralllc Receipts. Canadian Pacific ''������\"��� traffic receipts for the week ending tember 7th. were $518,000: for the week last year they were $192,000. John .lervis, and other combined with some eastern cajiitalists to form a syndicate and take a bond on some property in Bear Gulch. The ground Avas originally owned by some parties who had lots of $8 ore and had erected a 20-stamji mill, but through a variety of circumstances they got iu difficulties and a serious overdraft in the First National Bank of Helena resulted. The bank failed aud a receiver was appointed. He, foreclosed on the projierty and from the receiver we secured the bond, After the receiver took possession, some of the old workings caved in and exposed a vein, the existence of which had not been known before, although it was within ten feet of the old tunnel, where the old comjiany was working when it went into bankruptcy. It lay unobserved until a party of claim jumpers appeared and started work on the new vein. At the time we arrived on the scene they were taking out from the decomposed ledge matter $100 to $150 a day with a rocker, though they had to pack the ore down to the creek on their backs. We could not stand that, but they said I should not go on the, ground. They sent down to a coal camp called Horan and brought up twenty coal miners with Winchesters. They ran a big bluff but nobody was killed and I got on the ground. We then ajiplied to the United States court and got a writ of injunction, which was afterwards made perpetual, and the case is now coming uji on trial for confirmation of title. There is no question about its being the richest gold mine in ��� Montana. There is about fifteen feet of rich ore and on each side i.s a quantity of decomposed, oxidized and broken vein matter. ���'While the trouble was (lending,\"' continued Mr. Bledsoe, \"I. examined the ground in the neighborhood very carefully aud made uj> my mind that this vein ran through the adjoining projierty, although it did not croji out on the surface. So thoroughly convinced wa.s I of this that we took a bond on the adjoining l'l-operty. A crosscut tunnel was run under my instructions, a comjiany was organized i\\i?JL v.heii j left ..ear Gulch the 20-stamii mill was jiroducing concentrates which the l.ast Helena Smelting Works certified showed 9 ounces of gold to the ton and an excess of iron which materially reduces the smelting charges. Nine ounces to the ton means over $150.\" Mr. Bledsoe produced the certificate of assay to'prove his statements. Refuse to Take Down the Bars. The Methodist general conference at Toronto, after renewed discussion, on Wednesday voted down with a sweeping majority the resolution seeking to remove tlie restrictions at jiresent lilaced upon theatre-going, card-playing, dancing, etc. When tlie temperance report came up, objection was taken to the first clause, which stated.that it was a deliverance of the Methodist church that the liquor traffic could not be legalized. Several delegates considered this a condemnation of the licensing system and argued that licensing was directly beneficial, as it had the effect of curtailing the traffic. The clause was referred back. Colonel Baker Is Sick and Disgusted Colonel Baker is now in Cranbrook making arrangements for a trip to London. In speaking of the jiolitical situation the colonel expressed tlie view that the new government would ask for a dissolution instead of risking a vote iu the house.

Ql'i.NLAN, DKNTIS'l linker Street, ��Vc|s: workingmen ol.' this province are awakening to the fact that i'or the first time in its history Hritish Columbia has a government composed of men who have sufficient manhood to champion the cause of white labor as against that of Chinese. This means a great'deal to a jirovince so situated that it has become thejumjiingoll place for every Chinaman who decides to settle on the North American continent. It means that no longer will the welfare of thousands of white laborers, who are seeking to make homes for themselves in this province, be subordinated to\" the interests of the few who for years have found it to their advantage to emj.ilo}'' Chinese labor in their collieries and fish canneries. That this changed condition will not be favorably regarded b}' those whose profits are adversely affected may be ex|iected. Already a note of complaint has been sounded by a portion of the press whicli is controlled by the Canadian Pacific Mail way Comjiany, which, through its steamships, reajis a rich harvest in the transportation of thousands of Chinese to the jiorts of Victoria and Vancouver. In its jiieading on behalf of tho railway company the new government is warned by this jiortion of the jiress against jiassing any harsh measures looking to the exclusion of Chinese, and the remarks of the colonial secretary at the colonial conference are quoted to the effect that tlie imjierial government would be jiained to sanction any legislation looking to the exclusion of the Asiatics on account of their race. Coming from- so high an authority such an c-xjiression of ojiinion is sure to carry some weight, but the fact that the application of\" the remedy may occasion pain, doe* not disjiose of the necessity for the ajijiiication. If the Anglo-Saxons who have settled in British .Columbia become convinced that in order to maintain their foothold iu this jirovince it is -necessary to exclude the Chinese, the chances are that they will see to it that the jirovincial government passes, the necessary legislation, and when the jieople of eastern Canada properly understand the situation .'and see that the issue is the keejiing out of Chinese or surrendering the province t<> them, they will not place any obstacle in the way of their fellow citizens' legislation,of self defence. Once the federal authorities agree that it is necessary that the Chinese should be excluded from British Columbia there is not much jnosjiect of ..interference from the imjierial authorities. ''Li Hung Chang is no longer in I.ngland hyjinotising tho members of the imjierial government, and the e.Y|ierience of the past few months has demonstrated that a show of force is the only argument. . which ajijieals to the Chinese authorities in tho shaping of political matters in Asia. For tlie jiresent. however, it may not be necessary to pro-, iiibit Chinese immigration.- Tiie .federal government ha^tisyertcd its right to impose a heul tax <>i i..i(i upon every-China-. man entering the dominion. If a lax ol'$~>0 can be imposed ;r tax of f. ~>00 cm be im- liosed,'and the friends of organized' labor should do all'in their power first, to. get the jirovincial -government to recommend such a tax nnd then tu-get the federal authorities to imjiose it. Tmk advocates of prohibition have advanced a new argument in support of their contention fiiar, it is desirable to jiass prohibitory legislation: This time they apjieal to tlie pocket, and show that in (lie state of Maim', where prohibition litis been in force for many years, the savings' bank fiejiosjts of the working |i.o|.ile are very much in excess of the s i vings'bank deji'isits of Ohio under the license system. Tlie editor of the National Temjiei .ince Advocate, a jiajier of some standing, makes fhe challenge for a com- jiarison of the prosperity of the common jioojile under the two rejiresentative sysrouis of .Maine and Ohio., The popula- tiou of the jirohibition state of Maine'is given a- 001.(Mi, and that of Ohio as *..071,SI(i. The jiopulation of Ohio is therefore five and one half times that of Maine, but fhe saving-' bank deposits of the jieople of .Maine very much exceed those 'of the greater number of jieople of Ohio. The jirohibition sttite, with much less than three quarters of a million people, has savings' bank de|iosits aggregating S.1'-.*'07,;j')0, while Ohio, wilh more than three and a half million people, has but S-'M,(KKi,21'| to its credit in the savings' banks. This means that the savings' bank deposits nf the state of .Maine equal $S0.77 jier head, while those of Ohio equal but S('.__ |)or head. There are 20 states in the union which surjiusp Maine in jiopulation, but only seven surjiass the jirohibition state in aggregate of savings* bank flejiosits. Cax the Canadian Pacific Railway Comjiany claim the whole of its subsidy for the building of the Crow's Nest Pass vail- way while the Kootenay lake section of the road, between Nelson and Kuskonook, vemnins uncompleted ? This is a question which will jirobably come before the federal government, and it is one in which the citizens of Nelson are very much interested, since if the railway comjiany can secure the subsidy without perform - ing the work, the incentive for immediate construction is lost. In the opinion ofthe great majority the subsidy which was voted to the Canadian Pacific .Railway company, called for the construction of a railway to the city of Nelson. If this is correct the railway comjiany will not have earned this subsidy until the all rail connection with Nelson is made. It may be that the Kootenay lake section of the road will be the most exjiensive to construct, .and it may suit the purposes of the consti noting company to utilize a ferry service between Nelson and Kuskonook pending the completion of the Kootenay lake section, but these conditions do not alter tho fact that the terms upon which the. subsidy was granted call for the construction of ti railway to Nelson, and until such a railway is constructed not one cent of the subsidy should bo jiaid. There is a tendency on the jiart of a section of the press, which is favorable to the great railway comjiany, to read into the contract made between the railway company and the government, certain remarks made by the ministerof railways in the house of commons, in which it is inferred that the conditions were such that the railway company has till December . 1st, !000, to complete the Kootenay lake section of the road, and that the comjiany havingconij.leted that portion of the road whicli admits of immediate construction is entitled to the subsidygranted for the completion of the whole work. It need scarcely be said that such an argument does not meet the views of the citizens of Nelson. They desire to see the Crow's Nest road constructed to Nelson as speedily as possible, and they do not exjiect that the federal government will defeat this desire by paying the railway comjiany its subsidy before the work, which the subsidy calls for. is completed. When the Canadian Pacific llailway Comjiany completes the Crow's N.est .railway, to Nelson it will have earned the subsidy granted for that work and not before. Among the communications read at the general conference of the Methodist church at Toronto was one written by a layman who requested the conference to jirotect congregations from the growing evil of manuscript preachers, which the writer asserts is the chief cause of the declining growth of the church. The jioojile, says the writer, want (.reaching and not 'pulpit readings, and if they cannot get it in the Methodist churches they will jirobably go elsewhere. It is reported from Victoria that ex- premier Turner litis leased his residence in the cajiital for one year to judge Harrison of Nanaimo,. and t.lmt he contemplates making an extended visit to Kngland.' In this case he will probably resign his seat after the opening of the legislature. Should this action be decided ujjou by the ex-uremier it will not surprise his friends. It w.as generally known for some time that he wa.s tired of politics, and that he should seek needed rest will surjirise but few. He will doubtless fie missed by the colleagues whom lie held uji for the jiast few years. At the general conference of the Methodist church held in Toronto hist week au attempt was made to fix the niinnimum amount which the members should contribute to the funds of the church, and an effort wtis made to fasten a system ot beneficence upon the Methodists of the dominion which would require them to give one tenth of their individual'earnings. The committee to whom.the matter wa.s referred, rejiorted to the conference in favor of the principle of the people giving a tenth of their incomes to the church, tmd added a cause recommending what is known as a free will offering as well. When the jejiort came before the conference, however, considerable ojijiosition was encountered, objection being generally taken to anything of a mandatory nature in the matter of church beneficence, and after a jirotracted discussion the ojijionents of dictated beneficence carried the day, and the resolution was modified so that it merely commends that systematic beneficence which recognizes the principle of giving the tenth. There were over a dozen clergymen who participated in the discussion, and with one accord they went back two or three thousand years to prove their contention that the members of the Methodist church in Canada should or should not iu the year 1899 contribute one-tenth of their earnings to the funds of the, church. There wa.s just one lay member wdio figured in the jiublished re- jiort of the debate, lie o|iposed tiny hard and fast rate in the matter of giving. He reminded the members of the clergy that there were many heads of families iir the jMethodistchurch.who.se earnings did not exceed $375 peratinum, and he asked them if they jirojiosed to exact the $-S7.;\"i0 from such. For some reason the debate was chojijied off when the lay member finished sjieaking, and the resolution was sent back to the committee with the instruction to make it recommendatory and not legislative. Tiiosi. who are in a jiosition to know say that there is no truth' in the report that the Laurier government is considering the advisability of re-arranging the rejiro- sentation of Kootenay in the federal house. The necessity for some re-arrangement exists, but the federal authorities have as yet taken no action in the matter whatever.

Among other performances Mr. Bostock is credited with having extolled tho general policy of the Laurier government. It is not on record whether Mr. Bostock embraced in the general policy oi the federal government its celebrated straddle on ' the Kettle River Valley mil way charter, which action permitted the Canadian 1'ae'ific Railway Company to secure for the present a monopoly of the transportation business in Boundary creek, it is well known that Mr. Bostock did what he could to secure for the people of Bouudary creek the advantages of railway competition, but it is equally well known that the people of Boundary creek were denied this advantage in consequence ot the indifference upon the question shown by the members of premier Laurier's cabinet, who divided evenly upon the matter and allowed the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to carry its point to the detriment of the people of Bouudary creek. If the members of premier Laurier's cabinet are fair minded ttieti who, consider the interests of the whole people first, how came it that the member who represents Boundary creek in the house of commons was unable to impress them with the.justness of the claim of Boundary creek foi^'railway competition? Ok the $2,000,000 which were paid for the Center Star mine at Rossland, Oliver Durant received 5r��7SS,03;1.00, aud an almost equal amount went to A. H. Tar bet of Butte, who was associated with him in the development of the property. Tiie statemeut made by commissioner Ogilvie that he will administer the affairs of the Klondyke in the interests of the mining industry on the Canadian, side of the fine does not meet with the approval of some of the mining papers in the United States. Timber is a scarce commodity on the Klondyke. For this reason commissioner Ogilvie has announced that he will preserve the timber of the Yukon section for the Canadian mining industry and prevent the exporting of it to the American side. Because Americans want to traffic in Canadian timber and Ogilvie will not allow them, they denounce his policy as narrow and ungenerous. This conies of a desire to administer tho Klondyke from'Washington. Tiik time check evil is cropping out again on the Robson-l'enticton road, the railway contractors issuing time checks tit the end of the ������month, whicli tire not payable for another 20 days. The effect of this, as everyone knows, is to compel the men employed upon the work to have their time checks scalped before they can get the money which is due them. It might be well for the author of the Kellie Truck Act to look into the 'advisability of extending the scope of that act, with respect to currency payments, so that it would give protection to railway navvies whether the work in li.iud is more than throe miles from an incorporated city or not.
