The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. 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. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

NELSON, B.C., TUESDAY MOENJNG, MAY 28, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS SELOUS OPPOSES THE FAD FRONTAGE TAX SCHEME UNJUST AND UNWORKABLE. Says It Would Prevent All Improvement in the Outlying Sections Instead of Promoting It. The object bylaw which has the introduction frontage tax system for ing on of improvements duced at last evening's session for its ot the the carry- was intro- of the city council and received its lirst and second reading pro forma. "When the bylaw was introduced alderman Selous made a vigorous speech in denunciation of it. He said he did not know what the other aldermen had done iu the matter, but he had given himself the pleasuro of reading the bylaw over very carefully, and he said the more ho had read of it the moro lie wondered at its provisions. Tlie first thing tliat struck him was tlie anion ut of extra work which the bylaw would entail. First, there was tlie work whicli" it cut out for the city engineer. This official was already overworked, but the additional work wliich the bylaw placed upon his shoulders was tremendous. If the system outlined iu tlie bylaw were adopted tlio city engineer would require- additional help, and it was not unlikely that two men would be required for tho work. There was not sufficient accommodation ab the city offices for such men as would be required, and it would therefore be necessary to furnish rooms for the extra men after they had been engaged. The next thing required ' would bo-jthe engagement of a city solicitor to attend to the working of the now system, as it would also, involve 4 tremendous ainouiit of leg-il work.- JlaviiigTfmille^^rlTSsS'arrange- munts the council would then lrive a bylaw introducing a system which was absolutely inequitable. The people of certain portions of the city were then to be asked to nay one-haif the cost of local improvements, whereas other people in other portions of the city for similar improvements had only borne their due proportion of taxation. He added that he had made it iii.s business to inquire from other people from eastern and western citios'what had been tlie experience of other cities that had attempted the introduction of such a system and the replies received by liiin ��� had been that the system had led to incessant and costly litigation, some of the cases arising uiider it going to the privy council, after _-w.hich-ih_mtuiyjiustiuic6S-.the_sys.te.nl, had been discarded as unworkable, lie had gone very carefully over the bylaw and failed to liud a. tingle redeeming feature iu it, and iu his opinion the council would spare itself and the citizens unnecessary worry, by not proceeding any further with.it. Mayor Fletcher said ho believed every city in tho Dominion of any size was working under tlie local improvement system. Alderman Selous replied that tho two mon whom he had consulted upon the matter had assured him tliat the system had been found to bo inoperative after large sums of money had been spent. Mayor Fletcher maintained if the council was going to extend improvements to the outlying portions of tho city, where people wanted grades made and streets cut down, there was no good reason Why the cost of such work should not fall upon the property immediately benefited. It waa obvious that with such improvements a different policy should be carried out than was done in improving the main streets, which everybody used. If ���; the present council did not adopt the local improvement system the succeeding council would be forced to. Alderman Selous replied that after reading the by-lay he had come to the conclusion that Under ib there would be no improvements carried; out in tho outlying portions of the ciby. Once the by-law was passed the city council would immediately take refuge behind its provisions and insist upon tlie people who wanted the -work dono coming forward and petitioning that they be taxed for such work. People as a rule did not adopt any such principle and the result would be that 'no work would be done. Personally he was convinced that the present method of the council iu simply making the outside streets passable was much better and more effective than would be the system sought to be introduced in the bylaw. Alderman Hamilton said he did not think the introduction of the system would work any hardship on the people in the outlying portions of the city and this opinion was also voiced by aldermen Irving and Gillett. Alderman Madden said he would favor any system which got at the absentee owners in the outlying sections, so that they paid their due propoVt-iou-of taxation. , '.' Alderman:_,Selous rejoined that the system would not have any such effect. Whatever might be said in favor of it, it could hot be shown that it promised improvements in the outlying sections of the city. Wherever the system was put in force it required the signatures of a considerable percentage of the property affected. This would mean that absentee owners would be required to petition the council for the improvements,' with the special taxation' equipment, which was just what tho absentee owners woidd refuse to do. The result would be that the necessary petitions .would be insufficiently signed, in which event the improvements could not be made. It was eventually decided to give the by-law its first and second readings pro forma, upon ,the under, standing tliat it could be dissected in committee, and the city solicitor, who drafted the by-law, will be asked to attend its post mortem. The finance committee's report recommending the payment of the current accounts, was read and adopted. Among other items was one of $29S to cover nurse Clayton's services in connection with the recent smallpox case. The report of the overseer was read and filed, and Wednesday, July 10th, was set as.the. date for the holding of the court of revi-, sion.. The court will be composed of niayor Fletcher and aldermen". Hamilton, Irving, Gillett and Patterson. The council decided to call for tenders for*, tlio purchase of 1500 pounds of- lead. - , Estimates were submitted from the city engineer that the grading of the north sido of Hoover street, from Stanley to Ward, would cost $200, and that the grading of the east end of Victoria street and fixing the approach to Cedar street would cost $125. The council decided to go ahead with both pieces of work. The council also decided to have catch basins put in at the corner of Silica and Ward streets aud the corner of Ward and-Vernon streets. An expenditure of $25 was also authorized for. the building of a corral for the city's horses. ; Eight~"tenders wore reeeivecl~for" the supplying of 100 poles for the electric light system, and were referred to tlie fire, \yateraud light committee with power to act. SPECIAL MEETING CALLED NELSON MADE DIG GAINS REALTY JUMPED 50 PER CENT IN THREE TEARS. While Improvements Show the Phenomenal Advance of $886,563 Within the Same Period. Of Imperial Development Syndicate. -An extraordinary general meeting of the stockholders of the Imperial Development Syndicate will be held on Juno 10th for the purpose of.amending certain articles of the association affecting the disposition of company property. It is also likely that something further will- be announced at the meeting with respect to the recent strike made upon the Rossland claim in tho Eva group, owned by the syndicate.' In ' doing some surface work upon this claim last week a ledgo was uncovered which appears to be from 0 to 8 feet in width, from the entire width of which good paying values are secured in free gold, and two feet of which contains exceptionally rich oro. Work is being performed upon tliis ledge, the development of which may greatly enhance the syndicate's- holdings. - Nearly all the shareholders in tho Imperial Syndicate are Nelson men, and it looks as if they will have one of the largest free gold producing properties in tho Lardeau. The assessment roll as submitted to the city council last evening will be somewhat disappointing to those Who expected to see the sensational advance in values which characterized the two previous rolls maintained. The reason for this is that Something approaching the actual value of land has been^reached and from this time forward values will advance but 'slowly. In this connection it may be cited that the land valuation of $1,230,840 returned for the .current year, while it shows no increase over the assessment' of the previous year, has marked an increase.of over 50 per cent in land values iu Nelsou since theassessment roll was returned in 1898, the land values for tlie year being but $806,870. This advance, no doubt, fairly represents the gain made by Nelson realty during that time, but it was not to be expected that any such rate of increase could be maintained. Great as this advance has been, however, it does not begin to compare with the progress Nelson has made in building, -which is evidenced by the value placed upon improvements. " This year the improvements go over the million mark, the figures being $1)061,135, an advance of over a quarter of a million from the. value returned last year, although 1900 was considered an off year for. building. Even this advance, however, does not maintain the average* increases of former years, the value of improvements in lOOObeing -returned at $800,950, and those' of.'11899 "at $420,030, while the improvements- in'lSOS were valued at but,$174,- 572. Compared, therefore, with the return bf 1898 tlie value of Nelson's improvements in the three years has increased by $880,503, a record which few if any towns in Canada the same size can equal. . Considered with respect to wards the figures "submitted last evening show tliat the greatest gain in improvements has been made in the West ward. The value- of the improvements in the East ward in 1900 were returned' at $458,100, while this year they reach $599,240. The West ward improvement values were returned at $342,850 in 1900, but, this year they are increased to $401,890, the K.W.C. block accounting for the bulk of Tlie"gaih.

London, May 27.���A dispatch from Cape Town says that sir J. Gordon Sprigg, the premier, replying to a deputation of the duke and duchess of Cornwall and York's reception committee, advised that committee to wait a month before making any practical arrangements. According to the most recent communications received by the governor, a visit .from their royal highnessesis doubtful,owing to the prevalence of plague.

Albany, May 27.���The number of injured in the fearful trolley car collision on the Albany and Hudson Electric Railroad has been swelled to sixty by noon today, although thero hud been no additional deaths up to that hour. There has been great difficulty in ascertaining the number and personality of the injured, because many of them were taken in M'agons and carriages to farm houses and to near-by villages. The responsibility for the- disaster is placed at the door of - Rossland, May 27.���At 8 o'clock this morning Havelock Gillan, a miner employed in the Nickel Plate mine, received injuries which resulted in his death at the Sisters' hospital at noon, where he died without recovering ~ consciousness. Gillan went to the 800-foot level with a load of steel and after"^putting the steel off gave the signal to hoist. It is thought that Gillan got caught between the roof of the "station ah^=tlil^scelMihl?^rage=aiKl" was crushed and thrown back on the floor, where ho was found by his fellow miners. Gillan was aged 25 years and came from Wyne Harbor, Gaysboro county, Nova Scotia. The royal commission to inquire into Chinese and Japanese immigration into British Columbia was .in session in this city today. The commissioners are Messrs. R. C. Clute, K. C, of Toronto, chairman; D. J. Munn of New Westminster, Chris Foley of Rossland; secretary, F. J. Deane of Kamloops, and Alex. II. Crawford, stenographer, of Toronto. Charles Wilson, K. C, of Vancouver is also present representing the provincial government. J. B. McArthur was the first witness called, and the morning sessiou was occupied in taking his evidence, which was against the Chinese. In the afternoon Hon. Smith Curtis, M. P. P., testified. He alluded to the difficulty of obtaining domestic servants in the}west and also some kinds of manual laborers. Mr. Curtis was strongly against tlie employment of Chinese or Japanese labor wherever white men could be got to do the work. He advocated the adoption of the New Zealand plan for arbitration in fixing a schedule of minimum wages for all workers. He thought by this means Chinese and Japanese labor would be gradually done away with. Secretary Frank Woodside aud Others gave testimony against the immigration of Mongols. The commission will continue their sessions tomorrow morning aud expect to leave tho camp for Nelson in the evening. Test Cases Before the United States Supreme Court as to Revenue Collections. Washington, May 27.���Of the several cases decided today the two which attracted the greatest attention from the court -were what is known as the De Lima case and that known as the Downes case, and of these two, the opinion iu the Downes case is considered the most far-reaching, as it affects our future relations, whereas the De Lima case dwelt with a transit phase of our insular relations. The De Lima case was the first to receive the attention of the court aud as it appeared to be quite 9weepingly opposed to the governuient'9 concerns many persons precipitately arrived at the conclusion that the government had been worsted all along the line. This view suffered a decided change when the conclusion was announced in the Downes case. The court was very evenly divided on both cases, but political lines were not at all controlling. The'De Lima case involved the power of the government ,to collect a duty on goods imported into the United States from Porto Rico alter the ratification of the treaty of Paris and before the passage of the Porto Rican act. The court said the government contention in this case was substantially a claim that Porto Rico is a foreign territory, ' The entire case turned upon that contention. The court held that the position was not well taken; that' Porto Rico was not at the time L foreign territory and that, therefore, the duty which had been, collected must ,be returned. The' "decision' tfn the Dowries'casefollowed-, the history of the dealings of the United States with Porto Rico a step ' further. The case dealt with the legality of the exaction of duties on goods imported from Porto Rico into New York under the passage of the act providing for a duty upon goods shipped from the United States into Porto Rico aud also on those shipped from Porto Rico to the United States. In this case the court held such action was legal and constitutional. The point of the two opinions considered collectively is that Porto Rico was never after the acquisition of that island foreign territory; that until congress acted upon the question no duty could be collected, but that as soon as congress outlined a method of controlling the island's revenues thataction- became binding. In other words, that congress has power under the constitution to prescribe the manner of collecting the revenues of the country's insular possessions and has the right to lay a duty on goods imported into our insular possessions from the United States or exported from them into the United States. "' - Opinion of the Solicitor-General. Washington, May 27.���Solicitor- general Richards, who had charge of the insular cases before the supreme court, today made a statement containing his interpretation of the decisions of the court, in which he says: Tho important question in these cases is whether the cession of the territory contained in the treaty of Paris made Porto Rico aud the Philippines an integral part of "the United States within the meaning of that provision of the constitution requiring "all duties, imposts and excises to be uniform throughout' the United States." The court held that the cession simply made Porto Rico and the Philippines domestic territory of the United States, subject to the full control of congress, which control could be exercised without reference to these limitations. This limitation the court held was intended to apply to the states of the Union and does not apply to acquired territory unless by treaty and by subsequent act of congress it is incorporated within and becomes an integral part of the United States. The decisions are substantially a victory for the government. They sustain to the fullest extent the so-called insular policy of the administration.

London, May 28.���The Times publishes the following���from-Crad- dock, dated May 27th: "Kritzinger's invaders of Cape Colony captured a British post of 41 men near Maras- burg after a stout resistance. THE MINER AND THE MINT Profits in Silver Coinage. James Bannerman does not share in the Nelson Miner's alarm that the establishment of a Canadian mint will result in the flooding of the country with silver currency. He is aware of the circumstance that there is a very wide margin between the market and currency value of silver, but so long as the credit of the Dominion is behind its silver currency it will remain as good as its paper currency, which in point of production continues to be cheaper than silver coinage. Some five years ago Mr. Bannerman had occasion to correspond with the minister of finance upon the currency question, when Hon. Mr. Folding informed him that there was at that time a surplus of some two million dollars of Canadian silver on hand at that time. In the past the government has not lost the difference between the .market price of silver and its currency value, so that the establishment of a mint would not enable it to secure any advantage in this respect, nor would it furnish any incentive to flooding the country with silver currency. In Baltimore, Maryland, every gas meter is tested by the lamps and lighting department before it is installed in a residence or business house. government now has the sanction of the supreme court for governing these islands as their needs require. Sunday-Closing Cranks. Rochester, New York, May 27. ���For tho third time the que-dion as to Sunday closing oft the Pan- American exposition was brought before the appelate division this afternoon. Since the case was last before the court the lawyers employed have agreed upon" the facts on which the action is based.- The movement is veiled under a motion for the removal of two Buffalo police commissioners on the grounds that they have been derelict in performing their duties in allowing the exposition to remain open on May 5 th and 12 th. Attorney West- wood for the petitioner, Oscar Chapin, argued that although the governor appointed the police for the grounds, the power of the police commissioners was not abridged. Lawyer Cunneeu of Buffalo appeared in opposition to the motion. He said that the police commissioners have relied upon the fact that there was and is a police force appointed by the governor doing duty at the Pan-American grounds, and believed that the exposition police would preserve the peace and prevent violation of the law and that they have been forced to act upon the assumption that the Pan-American police force Was doing its duty. The court reserved its decision. A decision may be handed down tomorrow or one week from that timo. An Anarchist Weakens. Rome, May 27.���A newspaper published in "Verona reports the at- temptad suicide of a youthful blacksmith named Pietruci, who has confessed that he belonged to a society of anarchists and was chosen by lot to kill the emperor of Germany. He preferred suicide to making the attempt. His confession also disclosed the names of certain of his comrades who had been detailed to kill queen Helen of Italy, president Loubet of France- and the czar' of Russia.

PROVINCE ASSUMES CONTROL OF SALMON FISHING AND CANNERY AFFAIRS. M-Ti1* ��� Y* Management by Dominion Authorities Unsatisfactory���Protecting the Lumbering Interests. Vancouver, May 25. ��� [Special' Correspondence by Mail.]���By an- order-in-council passed recently by.- the lieutenant-governor-in-council provincial control of the salmon " fishing aud cannery affairs of the' province went into effect today, . The fisheries have been taken pos-" session of forcibly by the^provin- . cial government from the Dominion, .- on the ground that, according to,1 the contentious of the canners, the Dominion was not expending hn amount in public improvements, of the industry sufficient to" the de"- - mands. The canners 'asked the government at Victoi ia to as3uma the control aud this action has been - taken. The fishei men's licenses - have been reduced from $10 to $2.50^ "' and the difference iu revenue to;*- the government will be made up by an assessment of a certain per- �� centago on each case of salmon -, packed. Those interested regard it as certain that, there will be a clash between the two governments over the fishing this season. The pro-1 vincial government probably has a: good right to the rivor waters, ac-*�� cording to long-established pre-��� cedent, but the Dominion will- not ] forego its right in inland sea waters. G. It. Maxwell, M. P., in speaking of.-' the matter, says that it is not un--' likely that the Dominion will demand the old license fee of $10 in addition from fishermen in the Gulf v of Georgia, where most of- ,the~- salmon are caught, and he thinks, trouble will ensue right there. - When the recent Provincial-Act " went-into force prohibiting the*ex-, port of logs to the United States^ from British Columbia strong com- - plaint was made by local lumbermen that large loss would ensue be-*' cause of the stock of lumber already on hand. Milloy's aud Hamilton's camps up the coast were entirely closed down aud other camps discharged many of their men because of the closing of the American market. On Friday Hon. W. C. Wells, chief commissioner of lands and works, was iu the city and he met the lumbermen. He practically agreed that all timber at present cut aud in booms - might be sold to tho mills on Puget sound, but he���'. declared that the act itself would be enforced so far as other timber not already cut was concerned. Seattle parties are arranging for the-cstablishinent-of_a���wood- pulp"" industry at Cameron's river spit, near Seymour's narrows, about 125 miles up tho coast. A thousand acres of land, witli a first-class - water power, have been secured, and the initial investment will be about $100,000. The raw article will bu exported to Seattle aud Irom thero to tho east, where ic will bo finished. It is expected later to put in finishing machine.", so that the work can be done complote by the plant here. Date Definitely Fixed.

About 50 feet of tlie Fred Robinson Lumber Company's Hume was carried away by a laud slide last week and in consequence the mill was unable to begin sawing oh Monday as would have been the case had the accident not occurred.

Paris newspapers recently became interested in a discussion as to the quickest time a trip around the world could be made, and. Le Matin, the great -Paris newspaper, announced that ifc would send one of its editors to settle the question by an actual test.- Next day ,Le Journal gave notice that on the day the Matin's man started east from Paris one of its men would start west in an effort to make better time than the other. The thing was too interesting to be confined to Paris. Tlie Tageblatt of Berlin instructed its Paris correspondent to start at the same time and win tlie record around the world for tlie honor of Germany. England broke into the race. Humor, a British newspaper, will make the effort for the glory of that country. For the moment the race around the world bus taken attention from all other explorations and experi; ments in travel and geography. Nobody iii Paris talks of the patties -that are striving to reach the north pole; the south polar expedition lias dropped out of sight, and the .projected balloon trip across the Atlantic has been pigeonholed until tho record of around the world travel is taken from- the realm of theory into the domain of accomplishment. While the great editors abroad are figuring on itineraries and talking about it, the Yankee schoolboys will do it. There is to be no delay. May 20th a boy was started east from Chicago by Hearst's (Jhicago American to take a steamer i'roni here on the 22d. The su mo d.-ty also a New York boy, representing the Journal, started west to catch the Empress of India, the fleetest passenger steamer on the Pacific ocean, wliich sails from Vancouver on May 27th". At the steamer dock he will meet a boy who has been sent out by the San Francisco Exnminer. The New York and San Francisco lads will be together during the.two weeks required to cross the Pacific ocean at least. After they"get to Japan each will travel b"y the route that seems to promise the greatest speed. Tho paper points out tliat the boys going west havo two handicaps. They go by steamboat up the Amur river iu Siberia, from Khabarovsk to Stretensk,- 1400 ���miles. The current favors the boy^ "at-least six west gains a day by traveling with the sun.

Sydney's Welcome. ���- , Sydney, New South Wales, May 27.���The British steamer Ophir, having on board the duke and duchess of Cornwall and York, arrived here at 11 o'clock this morning. She was joined outside the harbor by a squadron of seven government vessels, conveying the premier, sir William Lyhe, the ministers aud federal officers. As the squadron entered the roadstead, the Ophir leading, the Russian cruiser Gromoboy from the Athol- brighfc anchorage fired a royal salute. Tho British cruisers responded, hoisting the Ru-ssiaii flag. Tho harbor was crowded with shipping and excursion craft and the shores were lined with spectators. The sun shone intermittently. When the Ophir came to anchor she wag boarded by the governor-general, the earl of Hopetoun; sir Frederick Darley, Jieu- tenaut-governor of New South Wales; and the Russian admiral. Tho duke and duchess landed at 2 o'clock and were greeted with enthusiasm. The decorations were magnificent aiid a brilliant military escort waited at the lauding. Settlement in Sight. Piokin, May 27.���Ifc seems probable that Great Britain's proposition limiting the indemnity to be demanded from China to 450,000,000 taels will be.agreed to by the end of tho week. United Slates special commissioner Rockhill thinks .that this may be considered an American victory. Though his proposition limiting indemnity to 310,000,- 000 taelswas not .accepted, still it was the cause of the other powers considering the idea. The only point likely to cause further delay in a decision by all the powers except America is that regarding the raising of the-,jforeign customs 5 per cent. Mr. Rockhill told the ministers at a recent meeting that rather than take this step America would relinquish all claims to indemnity, and oven make a present to China, as American commercial interests would suffer far more thereby than those of any other power with possibly one exception. Hawaiian Matters. Chicago, May 27.���Samuel Parker, foreign minister in Hawaii when Lilioukalani was on the throne, in speaking of existing conditions on the island said last night: "You hear about the Hawaiian patriots demanding governor Dole's deposition.

The structure cost between $000 and $800, and was being built to enable the owners of the Iron Capping group to get machinery upon their property. The company-* has about twenty men at work putting in another bridge and fixing up trails to the property. The country around Creston is steadily iilling .up with people who prefer to take their chances at farming rather than any other pursuit. Upwards of a dozen families settled in' tlie district during the ���past season,"and in Creston and viciuity there is now a school population of 33 children. The Kaslo & Slocan Railway Company has disposed of a considerable acreage of theuv-tIan$;T in < this vicinity, and everything points to Creston being quite a farming district. Just before 1 o'clock on Sunday morning the police heard loud cries for-help issuing from the tenderloin district, but when they arrived on tho scene everything was quiet. Yesterday, however, they located Georgo Shea in a shack in Bogus- town, who was badly cut about tho head. Shea was the victim of an assault and his cries for help startled the neighborhood. Ho says he was sot upon by three men whom he does not know and assaulted with brickbats and clubs. No trace has been secured of his Brewery at Nehon [ JOSEPHINE STREET, N��AH BAKEB. I assailants,. The differences which exist between a number of the city physicians and the local health officer furnished the subject matter for a lengthy meeting of the local board of health last evening. The subject was introduced by a communication from Dr. Hall in i eference t o the Graham quarantine, in which the writer stated that he aud a number of other physicians were anxious to know what course the local board of health, intended to pursue with respect to the reporting and quarantining of suspected cases of scarlet fever. ���.','��� When the communication was read alderman Hamilton said it appeared to him that the matter resolved itself into a question as to what the duties of the health officer were. Mayor Fletcher remarked that forms were now being prepared for tho use.of the doctors under which they should report aliases of contagious diseases which come under their notice. Alderman Irving suggested that the point to be decided was whether the doctors should report cases as suspected cases or as actual cases. Alderman Paterson expressed the opinion that the present system was all right. The doctors could report suspicious cases and they should be quarantined until the patients recovered or the attending physician reported, that the contagious diseases' suspicioued had not developed." *��� - Dr. Hall, who was present, said if tho board wished to hear him he could give the views of a number of the ciby physicians upon the question at issue and the necessity for arriving at. some definite understanding with* respect to'the rer porting of the cases. In the first place lie pointedjont that the city by its bylaw acknowledged its responsibility to check the .spread of contagious diseases, and as soon as cases were reported they were quarantined."'The law also required physicians to report all - cases * of contagious diseases, but it frequently happened* that physicians in their professional capacity never got beyond the first stages of the disease, which could not be classed otherwise than as* suspicious cases. The position which he and a number of the doctors took was that their duty to , the public .ended when they reported a case as showing, symptoms of the disease. He knew of four different, instances in which physicians recently had been called in to treat children,..-. for what appeared to be mild cases of scarlet fever. The mothers of the children were informed that the children appeared to be suffering fromiScarle.tJLeyje^ took the treatment into their own hands. Having received such intimation, the physicians could not call again and ascertain whether the suspected case of scarlet feyer: developed, aud even if it did they were not called in again unless the disease became malignant. In such cases the physicians were powerless to do anything other than report suspicious cases. His contention was that the health officer should ascertain all such cases. Mayor Fletcher said that the act contemplated that such should be done by the health officer iu cases in which the patient had no attending physician. , Dr. Hall replied that in the lirst instance, when the cases wore reported as suspicions, the patients had attending physicians, but that frequently after' so reporting the physicians received intimation that their services would nob be required so that they were thereafter unable to report definitely. In this connection Dr. Hall also observed that in ' event of being called in to a patient showing symptoms of smallpox he would not mak a second-trip to the patient, but would simply report it as a suspicious cuse to the health officer, as no doctor could afford to -.treat a smallpox case as it would interfere with the rest of his practice. Alderman Selous said that the question now appeared to resolve itself into one of cash, that in cases of smallpox or suspected cases of smallpox the doctors wanted to slough them olT on the city. He protested against the board attempting to arrive at any decision upou such matters without consulting the health officer. After considerable talk it was de-| Nelson,B.C. jst:e"LiSo:n" STORES AT S-A-lsTIDO^sr cided to have the health officer draft a set of regulations and submit them to the other doctors by which means it is hoped a satisfactory arrangement may be arrived at.
