VOL. 4.���������NO. 45. SANDON, B. C, SATURDAY, APEIL 20, 1901. $2.00 PER YEAR. City Council Meeting.. The regular meeting of the city council was hekl in the council chamber last Monday evening. All the members were present. A reply from R. F. Green to a letter written by the city clerk re the flume appropriation was read. The tender of J. .13. Lawson was the only one received for building the flume. It was rejected and the mutter submitted to the board of works committee. T. B. Folliott made up an estimate of the cost of labor and material required for the work,and the council decided to take the .matter in hand, appointing Alex. McMillan foreman of the job. The services of Win. Walmsley, as scavenger, were dispensed with, .$15 due him ordered to be paid in full settlement of account to date, and the con tract cancelled. Geo. Waite was engaged as city ��������� scavenger at a salary of $90 a month. The Health Oflicer was instructed to see that all backyards were cleaned up as soon as possible. A motion was passed consolidating the offices of chief of police and fire chief into one to cut down expenses. A motion was passed to the effect that all saloons where dances of a doubtful chararter are held in future, the said saloon to forfeit its license on the charge being proven. The above is by no means the exact wording of the motion,but implies practically the same '-meaning. A communication was read from 11. Jalland asking tlie council to have D. J. MeLachlaix's- house, projecting out on Cody avenue, movKl back, and to have the lire by-iaw enforced. The requisition was filed and Mr. MeLachlan ordered to remove the building. Police Court Proceedings. THE LOCAL GRAFT. The entire tenderloin district were up before Magistrate Lilly Tuesday on the charge of keeping houses of ill-fame. All pleaded not truilty but one and the rest were remanded until Thursday. .:��������� On .Wednesday two of the damsels appeared before the magistrate, one sue- . ing the other for'an account of if32. The defendant claimed the amount was only .$7 and placed a number of scraps of paper before the judge to substantiate her-cause. The plaintiff produced her account-in a .similar manner and the amounts were figured up and compared on the back of an empty cigar box. .fudge Lilly on looking over the evidence could find nothing conclusive one way or the other, and finally a coin- promise was agreed upon, which ended ���������in tho defendant being forced to pay the plaintiff $14 and costs. But this was not the ond. The zena were preparing to leave thc room when the fudge? casually them if they did not sell liquor, replied they did, and the result deni- court asked They was a fine of $50 each or 90 days in jail. This caused a twitter of laughter among the spectators, and the magdalenes left the court lighter in purse but wiser in the technical points of -British Columbia law. The adjourned case of the tenderloins came up on Thursday nflernoon before Judge Lilly. The majority having paid fines in the meantime, only five appeared to answer the charze laid against them. One established her innocence and was let clear, one fined $12 and the other three liberated on suspended sentence as to their future behaviour. Lizzie Brown poured ont her defence in the vocabulary that only the dark race are gifted; and her oft repeated expression, "Oh, I'se good," caused a roar of laughter from the spectators. Lizzie's eloquent pleading did not have the desired effect on the wily judge, and was let go on suspended sentence, with a warning of a double line if she appeared in court on the same charge in the future. Miss M. Radcliffe held a enjoyable birthday party on Monday evening. Rev. Wood, of Kaslo, preached in the Methodist church here last Sunday. Tlie building season commenced this week with Thos.

The Reading Room social' held ' last Thursday evening was a .very "enjoyable affair. "The time was spent with all kinds of games, interspersed wi'h music and songs. About 10 o'clock refreshments were served by the ladies. The second call for tenders on the [ flume extension resulted in one application for the work. The council finally decided to carry on the work themselves and appointed Alex. McMillan to oversee its construction. The work was commenced last Tuesday. Harry Payzant. who has been seriously ill with t3*phojd fever in the hospital for some time, took a change for the worse the earlv part of the week and his life was dispaired of. It was decided to' call in Doctor Power to examine the patient, and at latest teports, though still very low, hopes are entertained for his recovery. The Ladies' Aid of the .Presbyterian- church desire to gratefully acknowledge the kindness of the ladies and gentlemen who so kindly volunteered their services for the concert on the 1.1th inst. Also to the very large and appreciative audience, who by their presence made the concert a very flattering success, socially and financially. Wm. Karr received a telegram on Wednesday informing him of the tragic death of his brother Dave, who was shot and instantly killed atlnnisfail, N.W.T- No particulars were given, but a reoort has reached town that an Italian was the perpetrator of the crime. Mr. Karr left on Thursday morning for the scene to be present at the funeral. ' J. G. McGuigan, the well-known mining man, who fell from the fourth storey window of the Imperial hotel at Portland, Oregon, last week, succumbed to his injuries on Tuesday morning. His remains were taken to Spokane for burial. He was a member of the Elka, and the funeral arrangements were conducted by that fraternal organization. I The Grand Forks Gazette has issued a I very creditable illustrated numberof the Kettle river valley city. The specimen is well written and the illustrations first class, as well as the advertising patronage. One thing that strikes ns very much is the enterprise of the townsite company of that place, who do all they can to bring its many poesibilites before the public and help to encourage every line of business with gratifying results. D. J. Robertson, paid a visit to his store here this week. The Greenwood Miner came to hand this week enlarged to eight pages.

For Sale.���������A neat five room cottage, with furnishings, good outbuildings in connection, situated near the Star gulch and very convenient to city. Apply on the premises to H. Dir.i.KY. There are five patients in the hospital at present. Frank Stack and T. Barber, of Three Forks, ailing with ia grippe and pneumonia, were, admitted this week. Four patients having recovered were discharged during the past few days. James J. Godfrey received word on Tuesday from Angus Mclnnis, the mining recorder at New Denver, that he had been appointed deputy recorder for this district. The Sandon section of country covers a large territory of mineral, and this is a good move on the part of the government to have a. deputy located here, it will save prospectors and mining men the trouble of going to New Denver to do their recording. Mayor Pitts Will Resign. Tfc'is reported on good authority that Mayor Pitts will hand in his resignation at the next meeting of the city council. This is to be regretted, as he made a good conscientious mayor, but under the existing condition of affairs the position is not an enviable one, and no other course was open to him. There are many improvements needed in the city, but under the present laws of taxation the necessary money cannot be raised satisfactory to carry on the work. In view of the present condition of things there are two ways out of the difficulty, either to obtain municipal taxation on real estate and personal propcrt}- by an Act of parliament or hand the city charter back to the government. No one would like to see the latter course adopted, and the iormer would behailed by all with delight, as the city could then force the payment of taxes on an equal basis which at present is an utter impossibility. Then, and not till then, can Sandon take her right place among the cities of this fair province, and become in reality what just now she is only in name���������the Silver City of the Slocan. HIINES AND illNING. The Sunset at Jackson Basin shipped 20 tons from Whitewater this week. Tlie Black Prince and Phoenix group joined the list "of Sloe n lake shippers this week. W. W. Warner will probably lease the Miller Creek and work it in conjunction with the Wonderful nearby. The Ivanhoe concentrator is the scene of bustle and activity' just now, the rain of last week furnishing sufficient water to run the machinery full time. ; When lit up at nightand viewed from the K. j & S. track it presents a very picturesque (and imposing structure. The Payne mine has ceased shipping for a while and reduced its large force to about 40 men. These are employed in development work in No. 8 tunnel and in thoroughly prospecting the mine pending an amicable, settlement of the present smelter difficulty. W. W. Warner, who leased tlie Wonderful a short time ago, claims to have struck the ledge this week, the search for which has been carried on for a number of years but all in vain. Mr. Warner believed the ledge had been crossed in the lower tunnel and put men to work there, crosscutting. His conjecture seems to have proved correct, as after driving in about 21 feet the ledge was encountered between well defined walls. No ore has been found yet, but from indications it is expected to be laid bare at any moment. Hotel Arrivals For the Week. Denver���������F. Patterson, Greenwood ; E. B. .Morrison, Portland, Ore.; J.

A PURE GRAPE CREAM OF TARTAR POWDER Delegation at Ottawa. On Monday the British Columbia delegation waited upon the government, all the cabinet being present, and the B. C. M.P.s, Messrs. Galliher, Maxwell, Ralph Smith, Prior, Earl and Senator Templeton, were also there. The speakers were all mining men��������� Messrs. Geo. Alexander, David Pleap, H. E. Croasdale, G. O. Buchanan, M L. Grimmett and J. R. Robertson. What the delegation asked for was a a bounty of $5 per ton on refined lead for five years; equalization of the duties on the lead industry ; a liberal policy��������� that is virtually a free trade policy���������in respect to railways; portfolios of mines ; representation in the cabinet; and the mint. Hon. Clifford Sifton favors tin? refinery; and Sir Wilfred Laurier promised to consider the matter. Highest Honors, World's Fair Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair Avoid Baking: Powders containing; alum.

SuKi!*'-<il''''A Ki'Kin-riinsi Health. The practice of taking a tonic during' the inclement weather of early spring ia one that baa been bequeathed ua by our forefathers, who lived in days when a. sturdy constitution and vigorous health meant even more than they do to-day. The custom has the highest medical endorsement, and the healthiest people are those who follow it. Thousands, <��������� not really ill, need a tonic at this season. Close confinement in badly ventilated houses, offices, shops and school rooms, .during the winter months, makes people feel depressed and "out- of-sorts." Nature must be assisted in throwing off the poison that has accumulated Ln the system else people fall an easy prey lo disease and are subject to many discomforts from boils, eruptions, and similar troubles. Dr. Williams.' Pink Pills for Pale People are the best tonic medicine known to medical Bcience. These pills make rich, red blood and strong nerves. Through their use in springtime, jaded. listless, easily tired men, women and children, are made bright, active and strong. Evidence of the wonderful health restoring virtue of these pilla is given by Mrs. J. Lang-.' lois, 659 Lafontaia street, Montreal, whd says:���������"Before I began using' Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I was under the care of two doctors, who told me my trouble was developing into consumption. I was very pale and feeble; had no appetite and could hardly stand on my feet, I was very much discouraged and thought death was staring me in tke face. I had often read of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and finally decided to try them. After I had used three boxes iny appetite was much better, and I felt a little stronger. I continued the use of the pills for three months when I felt fully cured. When I began using the pills. I only weighed 92 pounds, and when I discontinued them my weight had increased to 119 pounds. C also gave the pills to my baby, who was pale and sickly, and they made him a bright, rosy, fleshy child. I think there is no weak or sickly person who will not find benefit from Dr. Williams.' Pink Pills." It La a waste of money to experiment with other so-called tonics .which arc all cheap imitations of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills'. Insist upon gettLng the genuine, and if they are not sold by your dealer send direct to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Out., and the pills will be mailed post paid, at 50c a box, or six boxes for 82.50. Beanty Ret. aires Sleep. Nearly all the great beauties of tho world have testified to the value of sleep. Under its influence every muscle is relaxed and all care dispelled. The heart heats slower, gaining new vigor for the waking hours. A midday nap, if only for a few minutes' duration, ia wonderfully refreshing, and if is generally conceded that sleep during the earlier hours of the night is far more beneficial than that obtained after midnight.��������� Maude C.

The amount of pride, interest and questions one small boy will develop in a circus quilt is; immeasurable.1 Kept for grand occasions', like a convalescence for instance, the mother will have cause to bless it. Some latitude in materials is'allowable, but; some, fabrics' wear better and look as well to the last, therefore should have preference. Any quilt liable to be used Ln infectious diseases should l>e made of fabrics which can be boiled. There are various "methods' of making the circus quilt. A piece of solid color goods, whether silk, woolen, canvas, tapeilry stuff, l'nen or cotton can bo used and subdivided into squares' or other shap������3' by stitches in embroiders as desired. Also patching of odd pieces' and j colors is. desirable On these squares' tlie animal or clown, etc., can be out-1 J lined, appliqued, cross-stitched or ; solidly embroidered or left defined ; by' embroidering the background only, ; Around the squares; a herring-bone,'; feather-stitch, or any suitable stitch '' can be run. The animals should! j by all means be of natural form and color and a wide variety be shown. The centre could appropriately sho \vn a circus' ten t clown. A border design should show the entire circus parade. Elaborate productions of this! model! may be dome in silk on silk or woolen foundation and be finely interlined; and quilted. In cross.-stitch on canvas' the animals will look less natural. i In flax emibroidery on linen the re-j suit will be beautiful and irruperisih- able. A cheap and good one can bej made from those- ever accumulating scraps! of muslin wihich, dyed with cotton dyes to any s!hade, offer as wide range of tints as| is needed. If previous to Wasihiing it may bo immersed in sugar of lead water the colors will neither run nor fade. If you make such, a quilt be sure to Invest in a copy of some exhaustive work on natural history. Whylt Reconciled Them. Kind Lady (visiting prison)���������Poor mpn!

CARROTS. ��������� The vegetable which deserves! much 'more attention on account of its u/lxiolesoincness is thc much-neglected, and often-despised carrot. Food ex-i ports, however, bow agree that car-' rots constitute a valuable food, and it is to be hoped that they will more often be seen on thc ordinary table Carrots are obtainable almost the year round, and the mistake made by. most persons is that of supposing' thai as sooji as they grow somewhat' larger they are no longer fit for any purpose except to flavor soups.' The. trouble is not with the carrot, but: with the cooking of it, aud that is1 common to cooking of almost all vegetables grown under the ground, they are not cooked enough. Old carrots,' moreover, require to be boiled in two waters, keeping plenty of it on them, all the time. Then when carefully drained, they may ba chopped into smaller pieces' and well seasoned with b'uLLcr, .salt and pepper, or the regulation while sauce, may be added to itlicni with good effect. . A savory and appetizing flavor! ���������may be imparled to carrots by first 'frying them in butter until they are j slighlly brown, and then adding some sugar and cooking a little longer. Enough water to boil them is then poured over thorn and they are then cooked until' tender. If, however, the family lastc is; loo fastidious! for' stewed carrots, .carrot croquettes may be made after a cooking-school recipe A dozen small croquettes can be made from four large carrots. They should be boiled until tender, drained and rubbed ��������� through a sieve. Add one cupful of well-cooked thick white sauce, using for it two heaping tea.spoonfuls' of flour, mix, season "highly, and when cold and firm, mould and finish as; for other croquettes. When small, young carrots; are ol> taimable, they: are delicious cooked with green peas, either, fres'h or canJ ned. The carrot should be boxledj scraped and cut into thin circles! and then, into strips*. They should then be mixed -with the boiled or heated peas with a cupful of well-seasoned white sauce added to the whole When the; flavor of carrots is! really agreeaMe to the family, puree of carrots will find a welcome place among the cream soups' which now, .form part of the daily menu in many ���������households;.

Which cannot be cured by ordinary stomach medicines���������The kidneys, liver and bowels become deranged���������Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver PilJs. By far the- moat important part of digestion takes; place in the intestines, as 'has. been repeatedly shown in cases wlhere the stomach has* been removed and the patient has lived and digested food without tho aid of the stomach. It frequently (happens that people who continually dose the, stomach for indigestion and us;e pepsin and various kinds of digestive tablets and powders can obtain no relief from such treatment, because the real trouble is in the intestines, the liver and tine kidneys. There Ls fullnea's and pains after me-als, coated tongue, headache, loss of appetite, pains in the limbs' and in the back and shoulders:, flatulency and constipation, frequently alternating with diarrhoea. ^ In cases cf intestinal indigestion the liver and kidneys usually become clogged aind sluggisih in action, and pois- onoUxS impurities; are left in the blood, ���������which should be removed by these filtering organs. Mr. Joseph Blackwell, Holmesville, Ont., sayal; "I derived more benefit from the use of Dr. Chasa's Kidney Liver PilLs. than from any other me- dioi-oe I evor took, and cau highly recommend them for stomach troubles. I wag in a terrible state and could hardly work at my trad,?. I tried most every Skindl of medicine and doctors, until I was tired of doctoring, and before I used one box of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, I could sec that they hvore helping me, and after taking a box and a half, found that I was cured." ��������� ������������������ There has yet to be a remedy discovered that is so prompt and thorough in buring intestinal indigestion as Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. And as, thus is the most common and severe form of indigestion, it can well be claimed that Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver ���������.'Pillar are' the most successful treatment extant for indigestion and dyspepsia. It Ls bot unusual for persons' who have long been suffering from chronic indigestion, biliousness and constipation to be thoroughly cured by Dr.. Chase's Kidney-Liver 'Pills .which have! by far the largest sale of any similar remedy. You may be skeptical, aa others have been bofore you, but a single trial of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills will convince you of their unusual medicinal value.

Now Zealand is looked upon asi th4 most progressive country in the world as regards experimental government; Labor Ls protected there by hard and fast laws', while all differences between employer and employe are settled by arbitration. Even women can vole at electoral campaigns ael well as all men who have reached the age of 21. Here also is, an old age pension, while Government ownership is' now ancient history, so far asi thc little colony Ls concerned. "Progress, may be all very well," declared Mr. Thomas Fleming, an extensive milLer and grain merchant at Invercargill, Gore and Winton, N. Z., who is spending a few weeks in^ this country, "but 1 think thc Govcrn-i men I Ls doing too much. Thc la"te^- or legislation savours loo much of class., and 1 doubt that thc. Arbitration and Conciliation Boards aro doing much good." HARD ON THE FARMERS. The labour laws, explained Mr. Fleming, are very hard upon the farmer. They set the number .of hours; his hands arc to work, fix lhe scale * of wages to be paid by him, restrict him regarding thc employment of boys, etc. "Wiry, it would be just a.s fair and equitable to legislate what a fanner is to receive for hisj produce." *- x\ll shops' in New- Zealand must close at elx o'clock and at one o'clock at least one day .during, the week. It is. contrary to law for a storekeeper to sclL even a loaf of bread after the hours of closing. "Our Government runs nearly all thc railways. I believe in Government ownership of railways], but 1 don't think the railway should be under the governing power of the day. They should be controlled by a non- political board of three expert commissioners, as was formerly done." Besides; operating the telegraph and telephones, the Government alao runs a life ' INSURANCE. DEPARTMENT. This department competes: successfully against the various insurance companies. -, ������������������������������������ , Woman suffrage, says, Mr. Fleming, makes very little difference in the elections. This experimental Government, he declares, is; frightening away capital. "L am inclined to think that we are drifting on to socialism. We are going too fast for the good of the country." Confederation with Australia is", not in sight yet, though a commission has been appointed by the N. Z. Government to investigate the advantages of s.uch a union. -O- TI������e Queen and Jenny Lind. There is a pretty story told of Queen Victoria and Jenny Lind which shows how tho modesty of two women, the queen of England and the queen of' isong, caused a momentary awkwardness which the gentle tact of the singer, overcame. It was on a night when Jenny Lind; was to sing at Hor'Majesty's Opera. House that the queen made her first' public appearance after the memorable Chartist day. For the great artist, too, this was a Qrst appearance, for it was the beginning of her season at a place where the year before she had won unparalleled fame. It happened that the queen entered the royal box at the same mo-, ment that the prima donna stepped upon the stage. Instantly a tumult of ac-i clamation burst forth. ' Jenny Lind modestly retired to the back of the stage, waiting till the demonstration of loyalty (to the sovereign should subside. The queen, refusing to appropriate to herself that which she imagined to be intended for the artist, made no acknowledgment. At length, when the situation became embarrassing, Jenny Lind, with ready' tact, ran forward to the footlights andfe sang "God Save the Queen," which1 was caught up at the end of the solo by^ the orchestra, chorua and audience.' (The queen then came to the front of her box and bowed, and the opera was Vesumed.

We fully'agree with the most of what Mr. Drewry says in a communication in another column of this paper.There is no question but that theC. P. R. has been milking the people, the country over, from its inception just as any other railway company would have done had they the country all to themselveB. The policy of the C. P.R. is, of course, to discourage the erection of smelters and refineries, as it gives the road a long haul on the bulk (ore) instead of the smelter body bullion; but this should in no way delay the erection of refineries in Canada. The country in notwith- out. competing roads oh footing to extend, if business is waiting for them, and the idea is for tlie people to create business. Once a refinery is under way mining will take new life, and if C.P.R. rates then stand in the way of profitable shipping, it will be for the people to see they get fair play, either through competing roads or government intervention with present ones. While dealing with this subject it may not be unprofitable to refer ,to the probability Mr. Hyam who appears to have broken away from the American Smelter Trust, erecting an independent .smelter somewhere on the Crow's Nest Southern (.Hill's road) extended, which -would break up the C. P. R. milking most effectually. If the people found that a healthy competition, there should be no difficulty in extending it to other parts of the country. : In any event the people now know there is no possibility of the country's making progress under existing conditions. If it ,is C. P. R. rates that prevent the American smelters from hand- -ling our ores, they are likely to remain so until the people . make a move. If, with a Canadian refinery under way, C. P.R. rates still strangled success bv demanding too much for the transport ���������of bullion, the people or the government ���������would only have to try another expedient that would be more effective. K'y When the C. P. R. was first built through/Manitoba, the farmers had to' pay about 28 cents on wheat, which gave tbe C. P. R. all that was in the business. Step after step was taken by the farmers in their own protection until now they have a 10 cent rate, which they consider reasonable. By looking closely after their own interests the people of the Kootenay can secure the same concessions in ore or bullion transport, and their duty is to keep at it until mining is made steady and profitable, and then all other kinds of business will prosper accordingly. John Houston was in Nelson for the Easter recess of the Provincial Legislature and almost every issue of the Tribune during that time contained references one way or another to spellbinders. John seems to have been entirely under their infiunce while in the House, and no doubt thought it would ease his mind a little to sail into them when a good distance away. He made himself the laughing stock of the legislature during the debate on the charter for Hill's railway to the Ciow's Nest coal fields, and was the only member who opposed it. John had his desk covered with notes bristling with points for a brilliant speech���������the speech of his life it is said, and was waiting for oneSmith, who was speaking in favor of the measure, to RHEUMATISM As experience stands, the most promising way to treat ah old settled rheumatism is: to set up the general health. Whatever makes health, in other respects, is good for rheumatism. We don't say it will cure it. Sometimes it does; sometimes it don't. ��������� Your chance is better with Scott's emulsion .of cod-liver oil than with anything else now known. By and by there will be a sure cure; it will make a big noise in the world when it comes We'll send you a little to try if you like. ��������� SCOTT & 330WNE, Chemists, Toronto. conclude, when he would thunder it out. Smith having delivered his speech resumed his seat, and all ejes were rivetted on the member for Nelson, but that individual made no attempt to rise to the astonishmentof the assembly���������he was spellbound. After waiting some time the motion was read and carried. In the midst of the applause which greeted it passage John come to, .with a hazy recollection of what was going on, and was disgusted to find his carefully compiled speech was too late to be delivered. In his rage he glanced fiercely around him, blurted out "Pretty sharp practice, that," grabbed his hat and walked out of the House, amid a roar of laughter from the whole assembly. This accounts for the spellbinder phrases in the Tribune lately. the flood, thinking the people would believe him to be such a smart fellow to conoeiv'e such an orginal idea. That it was a good one we freely admit, but no credit is due the Paysneak scribbler in the matter. He has bad symptoms of kleptomania in the newspaper line, clipping out spicey articles, forgetting to credit them, and passing them oil'as 11is own. In this case he stole it from the pages of the specimen book of Barn- hardt Bros. & Spindler, type founders, Chicago. The few who read his sheet and see his insulting references to religion and matrimony, know too well he does not believe in God, and much less ihat He commissioned Noah to advertise the flood. Now, everybody knows the whole world at that lime said Noah was a fool, and the residents of Sandon today say McAdams ia too, only they express it in much stronger terms, but the fact remains that Noah told the truth, which the gulchite could not do if he tried until the old patriarch and another flood came. ; w.s. rmewKY ' Sandon, B, 0 H.

To the Editor,���������The sourlieastern portion of British 'Columbia depends for advanceinent of its mineral wealth,- therefore, anything which tends, to check mining aflui.t*. adversely all other business .Excessive freight rates and smelting charges arc two' of the principal factors now restraining mining development. x-.n examination of the situation without prejudice must tend to convince anyone of ordinary business acumen t.h.it the Canadian Pacific railway is responsible for the existing condition commonly known as "the smelter trouble." The C. P. It.'is the chief smelter owner in southeast British Columbia, and ores can at present reach Canadian smelters only over its lines. The building of these railways was largely assisted by trrants of money and land, so that the C. P. R. lias grown strong and by pressure forced the sale to it ol the Trail smelter. The next step in the process of milking the country has had some light thrown upon it by the publication and admission of tlie siatenient. that .$6 per ton was charged by the C. P. R. for freight, etc., on ore from Moyie to Cres- toii, a distance of forty-seven miles, while but $0 per ton was charged by the ��������� ���������.real, 'Northern from Oreston to Great Falls, a distance of Jive hundred and thirty-two miles. May thin not give rise, to the belief that the C. P. R, has d(jfnanded.,:aiKl, has until lately, obtained, an unearned profit on lead ores going to United States smelters from British Columbia���������looking on this country as a preserve upon which no encroachment could be permitted except for value received? And is not this tlie reason why United States smelter!, are not buying British Columbia lead ores? Again, the C. P. R. has actively opposed the building of spurs from United States railway lines into British Columbia. But it is now published that opposition to the construction of a spur from the Great Northern railway to Fernie has beenwithdiawn in consideration of of the relinquishment by the Crow's Neet Coal company of the condition that the co-il lands granted as a subsidy to the Crow's Nest railway, (C- P. R ) should not be opened up for a number of years. Does not this on the face of it point to a deal whereby the United States smelting trust, through the Great Northern railway company, agrees that in consideration of fren access to the coal and coke at Feniie, Biitiish Columbia shall be left as a "preserve" for the C. P. R., it being in a position to supply 'its.own . coke to its own smelters to which the ore would be hauled over its own railways? Would not this create an ideal condition of affairs���������for the C. P. R.?,, If any inclination to give fair freight and treatment rates on ores had been evinced, the people might well join the C. P. R. in still further fortifying itself against outside attack. But on the contrary, immediately following the cessa- tion-of purchase of British Columbia ores by the United States smelters, the smelting charges in British Columbia were raised about two dollars per ton. That lead smelting is a very profitable business is evidenced by the latest report of the Hall mines, Ltd,, which bIiows its small lead stack has for several months paid from profits nearly all the working expenses of the Silver King mine. The rates charged by tlie Hull mines are the same as those charged liy the C. P. R. at the Trail smelter, and it is not to be supposed that the ore is hauled to the Hall Mines smelter free of charge. The C. P. R. therefore reaps a double profit; and when its smelting capacity is enlarged sufficiently, may at its leisure by a simple juggling with tigures.as to the .smelting and freight proportions of charges, prevent the Hall mines or any other smelter than its own doing business. This exposes the weakness of the position of the whole lead mining industry of southeast British Columbia. Under existing conditions, does it not appear folly on the part of the people to propone taxine themselves in order to pay a bonus on lead refining without guarantee of a substantial reduction in freight and treatment charges? If this bonus were granted, would it not go into the C P.. R. treasury either r In addition to our made-to-order department, 'which will always be kept tip to the pink of perfection, we have put in a fine assortment of all, 8 j Our Boots and Shoes, Underclothing, and, in fact, all supplies���������just what's wanted in the camp.

A solution of the treatment of ores'at reasonable cost might be arrived at by the fixing of a fair mileage rate for all ores, cokes, fluxes, and bullion. This being done, any person or company having ihe necessary capital might with safety establish a smelter in a locality where ore, coke, and fluxes could be economically assembled. Since the ores form the greater part of the weight smelted, the smelters would naturally be in their neighborhood in order to save freight charges on the valueles constituents (about 50 percent, or more) of the ores which pass off in slag. This saving would permit the opening up of low grade properties of no value under present conditions, employing large numbers of men contributing effectually to the advancement of this richly endowed country. If this fixed mileage rate was guaranteed, the 0. P, R. might then refine at a fair profit the lead bullion from various smelters and thus secure the profit of the haul on the product of the ores, without forcing payment of heavy freight charges on waste. Therefore, before asking for a bonus on refined lead, does it not seem better policy to assist lead mining by demanding that no corporation shall have the power of enforcing payment of freight on thousands of tons of waste matter as is now dont* each year through uncontrolled freight charging power?

In ancient Egypt.monogamy was practiced, although it was not enjoined by law. There is no evidence of the existence of a marriage ceremony, but the. marriage contract secured to the wife] certain rights, one of which was that off complete control over her husband, who promised to yield her implicit obedience! Nearness of relationship was no barrier to wedlock, the union of! brother and sister being quite common. Women, both married and unmarried, participated with the men in all the pleasures of social intercourse. .They took part in the public festivals, shared in banquets, drove out in their chariots and made pleasure excursions on the Nile. At banquets the guests were entertained chiefly with music and dancing. Singing was also an esteemed accomplishment, and the more solid part of their education must have been attended to, as women often held important offices in the priesthood. They presided at births and officiated as mourners at deaths aud burials. Ladies of rank occupied their spare moments in embroidery and in the cultivation of flowers, of which they were passionately fond and which were lavishly used oh all festive occasions, Women of the humbier classes were employed in spinning and in the rural districts in tending cattle and sheep and in carrying water, the heavier employments being left to the men. This halcyon state of affairs lasted only during the days of Egypt's. greatness., During the period of her decline her daughters were fearfully downtrodden and degraded. The hardest manual labor was assigned to them, and they suffered cruel punishments for the crimes of their fathers, husbands or brothers, as the case might be. Sometimes they were publicly beaten with sticks, at others thrown into dungeons or sent to work at the mines, where the miseries they endured were so great that, as the old historian tells us, they longed for death as far preferable to life.

It was late in the evening, and his car on its up town trip had reached the vicinity of the city hall. As it passed one of the taller office "buildings a stout woman, clutching him by the arm, exclaimed: "Oh, conductor, how many stories high is that building?" " 'Loven," laconically replied tbe conductor, without so much as an upward glance. The woman sank back with a sigh of satisfaction. Just then a. small man with a largo traveling bag rushed in almost ont of breath. ; "I say, conductor," he gasped, "what time can I got to the Grand Central depot?'' " 'Leveii," was thc quiet reply. "That's good," commented the small man, evidently relieved. At this juncture another man climbed aboard that wanted to know about jwhat time the car would reach the Gilsey House. ] " 'Loven." again replied the conductor, with a weary look. i When questioned as to the uniform!- ity of ids answers, he replied: , "Yes.

Spitting in public places should stop.

Ladies should wear shorter skirts, and those who must expectorate should use paper handkerchiefs, which fehould be burned after using. There arc three important facts about tuberculosis which should be kept in mind :��������� 1. It is a communicable disease and is distinctly preventable. 2. It is acquired by the direct transmission of the tubercle bacilli from the sick to the well, usually by means of dried and pulverized sputum floating as dust Ln the air ; and 3. It can be largely prevented by simple and easily applied measures of cleanliness, and.aisinfecf.ion. Why'Roads Are Crooked In China. The Chinese road is private property, a strip taken from somebody's land. This is done much against the will of the owner, since he not only loses the use of it, but also still has to pay taxes im it. . ' One consequence is that it is "wide '���������nough for only one vehicle, and carts can pass one another only by trespassing on the cultivated land. To prevent this the farmers dig deep ditches by the roadside. As the surface wears away and the dust blows off it gradually grows lower, aud after awhile it becomes a drain for the surrounding, lields. A current forms in the rainy, reason, which still further hollows it out, and thus lias arisen the proverb Ibat a road a thousand years old becomes a river. . Those whose lands are used for roads naturally prefer to have'the roads run along the edge of their farms instead of cutting across tbem, and this accounts for the fact that Chinese roads are often so crooked that one may have to go a considerable distance to' reach a place that is in reality but a few miles away. This always Interests the stranger. ..'���������''" IIIm Company. . "They say 'a man is known by the company he keeps.'

The Echo has taken the trouble' to investigate the circumstances and cam vouch for the truth of the following interesting story in its every particular. Almost everyone in this: neighborhood knows Mr. Wm. Doeg. In 1878 Mr. Doeg moved from the Township of Osprey, Ln Grey County, to lot 19 in 1 the thirteenth concession' of Strong Township. He has: since made many friends, and all who know him speak o.f him in the highest terms'. Some time after he came to this part he was stricken with rheumatism. It gradually gre-w worsje and worse till for the laist four years he ibas been a confirmed invalid, and as! a consequence has: not been seen in town at all. He has s;at night and diay in his chair, unable to mo,ve or ���������walk a step for months. The pain never left hian.. It commenced in hia back, and the torture he had to bear was terrible. Froinl hisi back it would sometimes" move to other parts of his body. Hia knees were fearfully painful at times. The truth is", that for four long years the poor man did not have a single moment's! respite from the racking of this dreadful ���������diseasie. " , Mr. Doeg says;: "It makes me shudder to look back upon that awful four years, even the thought of it is. cUreadful. How I ever lived through it I do not know;, but I thank God that he has at lasft restored me to health and strength with nothing of the rheumatism left but the memory .of it. Mr. Doeg is a changed man. Hale and hearty he now1, enjoys every nior ' mcint of his ne,w\ life to the full. How did the change come about? This is.' the question which Dr. Doeg is moat delighted to answer. He had . tried the treatment of several physicians and had us[ed almost every medicine known as a cure for rheu- matLsm, but ho g"ot no relief. "I gave tlhem. all a fair chance, too," said Mir. Doeg, to The Echo, "but nothing seemed able to give me even temporary relief. I grew despondent and despaired of ever leaving that dreadful pain behind me. "Ono day I read in a newspaper the testimonials: of some who said they had been cured of rheumatism by Dodd's Kidney Pills;. I hand't much faith in anything by this time, but I sent for one box of the pills, and commenced. I noticed an improvement and kept on, and look at me now." Mr. Doeg certainly doesn't look like an invalid how, and, it is hard for one who had not seen him in his: sick room to believe that six months ago he couldn't walk. "Have you any objections to making and signing a written statement of the whole thing for publication in The Echo ?" was aa'kedi Mir. Doeg. None whatever, I will be glad to do so, for I want every person suffering as I was] with rheumatism to know that Dodd's Kidney Pills, will euro them, and I do hope that my statement will be read1 by all such unfortunates. ��������� * This isj Mr. Doeg's written statement :��������� Por four years I suffered excruciating torture, during which time I was scarcely an hour free from pain. The trouble commenced in my back, wthere it often remained stationary for months, and So intense was the pain that I could not lie. down or take rest, but had to sjit night and day in a chair. The pain would then remove to'other parts of my body, and when in my knees I was: unable to walk, and confined constantly to my' room. I was treated for rheumatism by several doctors, and also tried many medicines without receiving any benefit. Almost in despair I feared I would never again experience the pleasure of being free from pain. Last spring my attention was directed to some remarkable cures; of rheumatism effected by Dodd's: Kidney PillxS, recorded in the public prints. I procured a box, and soon found that they were doing me good, .so I kept on, till now I can say I'am a new man entirely free from pain, and have continued so ror over six months, being able to attend to my daily duties on the farm and feel strong ana aoio zor work. 1 verily believe this great change has been effected by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I think it my duty to make this statement public for the benefit of anyone afflicted as I was-. Wm. Doeg, Sundridge. This is; a plain unvarnished statement .of fact, as we found it, and every reader of The Echo, especially those who know how bad Mir. Doeg ���������was, will agree that it is; a case without parallel in the history of the community. . . <jp . 'IT IS TO SMILE. The Favorite Tea of Britain and her Colonies. GROWN BY BRITISH PLANTERS.

A Freak ot "Women That Makes a Morcue Necessary In a Drue Store. Yv'heu the woman in black handed two prescriptions to the drug clerk, she said: "I'll call for the medicine some time this evening. Give me a check, please." Before handing her the identification check the clerk figured for a moment. "One dollar and a quarter," he said. "It is customary to get a deposit on a call order that amounts to more than '50 cents." The woman flushed indignantly. "Well;" she said, "to be frank with you, I don't feel like paying it. I've been buying medicine and things at drug stores lor a good many years, and this is the first! lime I have been asked to, put up a deposit. It is such an absurd request. You don't suppose for a minute that I'm going around getting prescriptions filled just for the fun of the thing, do you?" The clerk sighed, meekly. "Well," ho said, "maybe you're not, but there are plenty of women who do. I hate to asH for; a; deposit. I'd almost as lief bd cheated out of the money. I told thd proprietor so. 'It looks amah,' said I. 'Can't help it,' said he. 'We can't af-> ford to mix three or four bottles of expensive medicines' every day for women . who make a fad of ordering drugs torn- pounded that.they. never intend to .call for.' And that's just what a lot of you .women folks do," added the clerk, with a defiant attempt at self vindication. "Just look at this." Here he opened the door of a large cupboard at the rear of the store and pointed to the many rows of labeled bottles therein. "This is what we call the morgue," he said. "Every, drug store has one. It is filled with the aftermath of the medicine fad. There; must be upward of 300 bottles in thati cupboard which are worth on an average 50 cents each. Every one of them haul been ordered by women, the majority off whom probably never had any intention' of calling.for the concoction. Some oC this medicine has fcyen here for months: It probably never will be called for, but we shall keep it for an indefinite period' anyway. Drugs once mixed are a dead loss to us, and we might as well hold them and thus take chances on final redemption as to throw them away." "But what makes people order medicine that they never intend to use?" asked the woman. \ . The clerk sighed. "The Lord knows," he said. "What makes people run to any, senseless fad? This is all of a piece, I suppose, with the mania that induces people to consult a doctor when there is nothing the matter with them, only it is less expensive. Doctors' bills generally have to be paid, whereas medicine can be compounded free of charge unless a deposit is demanded from all except regular patrons. Not all these bottles you see here were filled from new prescriptions by any means. Many of them were made up from copies of old prescriptions that were filled originally at other stores in good faith, and 1 doubt not that many of the compounds held in storage here could be duplicated in the morgue of many another drug store that has not yet adopted the deposit system." The woman in black laid down her $1.25 meekly. "I suppose I can't blame you for being cautious," she said.- A Distinction. "You have a good deal of assurance to come to me for charity," said the man of the house, "with your face all bunged up from fighting. You're nothing but a bruiser!"

A number of prospectors and miners have left for the liilIs in other sections of tho country for the past two or three weeks. A great many are going to the Lardeau to work cl.\ims they have there. The Kettle river seems to be one of the principal points this season for prospecting, and in all other sections it is possible to find Sandon prospectors, either looking for mineral or doing assessment work on their claims. Every week there are men leaving for Klondike and Cape Nome. In several parts* of the country the snow has remained on the hills longer than any year previous, and as a result it will keep back the prospecting until the snow goes, which will be all of a month yet. Last fall some rich finds of gold were brought in from the Kettle river and Fort Steele districts in last year's prospecting and they will be worked this spring with, small staffs of men. WANTED.
