The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

All the residences on,, Sunnyside svith but one or tsvo ex- " ceptions, have met the common fate and'the two nesv churches on the hillside are no more. , ������ ' The fire originated inr Spencer's 1U11, where'a shosv had, been given the night before, .shortly after' midnight and spread rapidly, despite the efforts of the firemen svho svere soon at hand fighting the fire gallantly. In spite of everything that could be - done however the flames spread rapidly burning with incredible ssviftness, , the svholc fire being practically over in three hours,' after sending up fully a million dollars svorlh of property in smoke. The flames svere "only prevented from spreading above the track by the blosvingup of the C* E. R. depot. Fortunately Lovatt's addition and the nesv Ruth concentrator svere not within the fire zone, and The Paystreak lives to weep over, the ruins. Among tho merchants fesv were carrying any insurance on their stocks or buildings and nearly all had recently restocked their stores.in_jin_tici- patiou of a prosperous year.

'' y i You would have been very fortunate, my children, if you 'had kiiosvn my Uncle Buyle, because lie alone knesv* more sto-. ries than you have cve& read. My uncle did uotlive in our little city of Mirepcix lie lived at Foix, and almost every Saturday sve would see him 'coming on his torso, and our joyous cries hailed him nt a. distance. The servant, my old Jean- nette, came immediately to salute our Uncle' Baylc, who 'carefully informed himself as'to tho supper. Then, after ' having added or changed something i������ the bill of fare, he seated himself in a large chair of carved wood, svhieh we dragged 'up' to the fire, and without delay we all began to cry,' "A story, a story!" On this evening the cry- was less boisterous, because sve had formed a little conspiracy, and no one, dared speak'first. Finally my pretty cousin Dorothee, the most talkative littie girl of the house and now the grave superior of a convent'of the Sisters of Charity, ventured to, cry, "A ghost story!" and we replied.all together, "Yes, a1 ghost story!" My uncle frowned, and looked toward Jeannette, who was very much confused and wished to appear absorbed in peppering her chicken potpie. It was she. in fact,*-who bad urged us to make this demand. i , " "There are only fools or rogues svho believe or protend to, believe in ghosts," said my uncle in a severe tone. We all waitedin silence, so much authority'svas there in his words, but a moment of reflection seemed to calm. him. Wo,sasv him smile, as if to himself, and he added in a tone full of ssveetness: "You svaiit a ghost story, my children? -Very;svell. 1 will relate one to you svhieh happened to me, so that it cannot-be doubted." We gathered around him closer than usual. The lamp hung by a chain attached to the manteipiece. and there our i uncle told his story. i *,^ ** , * V * * * I ' One autumn evening���������it must has-e - been 40 years r.go, necause I svas M-areo- ly 20 years old at the time���������I \-.a*- rt'- ��������� turning from Toulouse.' I had , arrived ! almost iu front of the Bolbonsie imiiifis- I tery, beyond the beautiful woods of Le- j courien, when a sudden and frightful j storm like those that come down from \ our mountains broke forth. My horse, j frightened at the .'lashes of lightning and i noise of thunder, darted into a little bypath nnd carried uie with him in spite of nil my efforts to the contrary. ,Notwithstanding his rapidity, I soon recognized that he had taken the road to St. Ga- belle ..and that'he was leading me there all' right, and he galloped on until he stopped of his osvn- accord, as he had started, nnd I perceived that I was nt the door of an inn. I entered. The guests were numerous���������a mixed crowd of Spanish merchants and young sportsmen of the vicinity, overtaken, like myself, by the storm. After drying ourselves by the lire, composed of a- dozen vine branches svhieh had been thrown in tbe fireplace, supper svas announced,'and sve all sat dosvn to the table. At first the conversation turned on the frightful sveather. One had been thrown from his horse; another had been detained an hour in getting himself-and cart out of a pool of mud. Finally some one exclaimed, "It is an infernal night, just the time for a meeting of svitches." This remark, svhieh svas very simple, gave place to a singular observance, made in a tone still . more singular: "Sorcerers and ghosts prefer for their meeting a l)eautiful moonlight night to a j night so unpleasant as this." ! We all gazed at the miiu svho said this aud sasv that it svas. one of the Spanish merchants. You have' often seen them, my children, with their leggings and short breeches open nl the knee- and showing their naked, hairy leg?. 1'ou know what a raiugled air of pride and misery they have. He who had spoken had, more than any you hare seen, that sas*age bearing svhieh is characteristic of them all. None of us had thought of replying, when my neighbor, a young man svith a frank nnd open manner, burst out laughing as he said: "It appears that tins gentleman knows the habits of ghosts aud that they have fold him that they do not like to get svet or dirty." ,'r lie had not finished his sentence svhen the Spaniard-threw ou him a terrible look as he said: 1- -ir -0- *������.- 4* -��������� *���������& ������... - ���������J.J ^ ^; -'( *Tr -4* ������ A ^"*"<������ a��������� J.+ * ' -���������t .-���������- iv��������� ������ -v * J.A'AT Just received a large1 assortment cf Samples in Beautiful "Designs ,, aitAj <������"-.������ ^ '.I 'LV..i* iri $ *Sr* 4������ ��������������� ^ ��������� I '������> .' *4|4 A v '- TJi'5* ^������'f������&| tit Y t *������������$*������������ ^to^ - "i * 'i? o 44 * 4*������>������t ��������� ������***?> *4*|^- , A* ,������������������������ ^^.

THE GOVERNMENT CANDIDATE Expresses His Viewn On Questions of - Interest- In This District. Interviewed "on the principal political issues of. interest; in', this district Mr.' W. M. Lawrence said:��������� "J am a supporter of "the t present1 government and of the platform laid dosvn by Hon. Joseph Martin', hut should Mr. Martin swerve from that platform J am at liberty to"-,repudiate him as leader. I am a liberal first and foremost and svould pi efer coming out as such if convention held in Vancouver last month had declared for patty lines, butas it did not the platform of the government comes next. I am a strong believer in government ownership ot railsvays, hut svhether Mr. MartinVscheme is feasible or practicable remains to be seen, hosvey'er it is worth svhile looking into; I''believe in government retaiuing all franchises as far as possible. I support the eight- hour lasv as laid dosvn by Mr. Martih I am death on the Chinese," and think that if-the same encouragement that is given the Chinese sva,s given to the'unemployed of the east to, come into the province the country ss-ould be - advanced much more. In * reference ' to trail building I believe svith Mr. 3Martin that -svhen a trail is wanted there should be money for it and that the excuse of no funds should never be given: svhere a trail.is of benefit to the community it should lie built, for next to the railsvay trails are the opening up of the country. I svould' advocate very strongly government assistance for a .-tearuer on the Columbia north of Revelstoke. The establishing of a registry and , land titles office svould receive iny t-npport; and I svould also 'doall in my posver for the "publishing and maintaining of a high school at Kevelstoke J or advancing the higlUT blanches of cdncation.V Mr. Lasvreuce expects to vi-dt the dillViv.nl parts nf the district .n.-efim paiiied by lioii.
