THE CITY AND HARRIS. The public cannot understand why there should be these long drawn out differences between , the city and Mr. Harris over financial matters. As the Review holds no brief from either party, we can discuss these matters dispassionately.���������the way the public want to see them discussed. He built a sidewalk from the Miners' Union hall to Folliott's corner, and he wants pay for it. It is asserted he built it to improve his own property, and, therefore, should not be paid for it. It does not require two eyes to see that if it improved bis property, that property was assessed according to improvement, and becomes correspondingly revenue producing in the way of increased taxation. Cornered, every one of the aldermen will say if Harris had not built that sidewalk the city would have bad to do it. As it made money foi the corporation, and saved the city direct^ an outlay, there is no reason Harris should not be paid for it what it would cost the city to build it. This appears to us as sensible reasoning. Again, if the city has no record of taxes due by Harris before the fire, he has, as his books were saved. He also has a record of what his bill for water and light was before the fire. A settlement then involves nothing more than off setting of accounts, the sidewalk properly valued,with a liability on one side or the other for a balance, to be paid in cash. This is the only proper way to adjust the matter, and the longer adjustment is delayed the more complicated will the accounts become. Some people have their own opinionsof Harris just as others have them of iho city council and its capabilities, but these opinions have nothing to do with the NEURALGIA We suggest curing a pain in the face by'' taking Scott's Emulsion into the stomach. Usual way of treating neuralgia is to rub liniment on the outside., That's only a makeshift. Scott's Emulsion is nerve food. Scott's Emulsion feeds and strengthens nerves. For an obstinate neuralgia, for nervousness, for nerve weakness take Scott's Emulsion. It's nerve food and nerve strength. We'll send you a little to try, if you like.

To this should be added in any event a revision of the voters'lists, for if ever there were rotten lists in any country they are in British Columbia today. As it is idle to speculate on the future until a division takes places in the House, the public will only have to hold their breath and await the turn of events. vince in a general election, no matter what forces he may assimilate before tlie leap. "Joe" is an adventurer, and cares no more for principle than a dog does lor the observance of Lent���������all he wants is power, and he is willing to accept any wind to gain it.

To secure families, then, every.inducement possible should be held out by all -'who' have to do with business affairs. The streets and sidewalks must be made as good as possible, entertainments must come in regular order, churches must be maintained, and adequate educational facilities must be provided. In the face of this, for the saving of $20 a month or even less, our city council advises the new school board to cut off one teacher and effectually cripple the school that was beginning to do satisfactory work. It has now gone abroad Sandon has gone so far in the hole through lack of enterprise and piling up of liabilities, that it has cut its school down to one teacher. With times hard, work scarce, locality uninviting, this is a nice recommendation to induce families, the very thing all interests clamor for, to come and reside here and to urge those that are here to remain, surely?

Just what will come out of the session of the Local House now assembled, it is at present impossible to say, there are so many elements to be considered. It is a moral certainty Mr. Dnnsmuir's friends do not constitute a majority,and whether or not he will be enabled to rope in enough of the recalcitrants to pull through the session, cannot be told. It is barely possible that, in view of Martin'slate promotion, through stealth though it be, such a union of Martin and Dunsmuir may be made as will control the session; but that bodes nothing promising for success in tlie country.

"I will be very glad to say a few words for Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. P. S. Douglas, of Mansonville, Brome Co., Quebec. ������ During the first four months, when I looked forward to becoming a mother,'I suffered very much from nausea and vomiting, and I felt so terribly sick I could scarcely eat or drink anything. I hated alt kinds of food. At this time I wrote to Dr. Pierce, and he told me to get his ' Favorite Prescription ' and a bottle of ' Golden Medical Discovery.' I got a bottle of each, and when I had taken them a few days, I felt much better, and when I had taken hardly three parts of each bottle I felt well and could eat as well as any one, and could do my work without any trouble (I could not do anything before). I feel very thankful to Dr. Pierce for his medicine, and I tell all who tell me they are sick, to get these medicines, or write to Dr. Pierce."

The MMm Review SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1902. SCHOOL MATTERS. There is considerable dissatisfaction in town over the dismissal of Miss Dalby as second teacher and the injury that will befall the school in consequence on the alleged ground of economy. Last year this was the cost to the government for the two teachers, janitor, fuel and contingencies for two rooms. Two teachers Janitor, 2 rooms 10 months Fuel and contingencies $1440 150 100 Total cost 1G90 Under the economy of this year the economists propose to pay Mr. Lovering as teacher and janitor one room $1200 Fuel 100 Contingencies 100 Total 1400 Besides this the cloak rooms are taken from the children to give him a free residence, they are fitted up at a cost to the people, and we infer he will also have free fuel.thrown in making an addition to these figures. It is known to all who have any experience in educational matters, that with the number of studios attached to each reading class, no one teacher, no matter how competent, can do justice to pupils in the alphabet and all the way up to high school studies. As a consequence both junior and senior pupils are dropping off to the number of eight, reducing the government grant by $100 As agajnst the cost of last year, the people will then probably save from $130 to $200 during the year. Now, the question is, will any reasonable person say it pays to have ^advertised abroad Sandon is down to one teacher, its scbool.is inefficient&c������������������forthesakeof $18 a month for a second teacher? This is the point we want to bring out. There are only two reasons for the step taken, and the new trustees and Mr. Lovering can place the responsibility where itbest suits them. Either the trustees are practising this $200 or less of economy, at the beck of those who have no children at the school,and do not care whether there is a school in the place in any form or not or'greed" waa willing to see the second teacher go. We simply place the bald facts as they are and allow the public to draw their own conclusions. property lies about one mile from the east shore of the lake at an altitude of about 1,000 feet sibove the surface of the water. Mr. Little says: "I believe for the proper development of the V. &M. prop; erty there could be installed an aircom- pressor plant and equipment, consisting of 5 to 6 drills of 2 and 3-inch sizes with the necessary adjunbts, ihe compressor to be driven by water power developed by Twelve Mile creek. The working, tunnels should be equipped with iron lails and ore cars. An ore and sorting house should be built, provided with rock-breaker, sizing screens, picking belts, etc., to facilitate the sorting of ore, and do away as far as possible with hand labor in this department. Adequate bunkers should be constructed in which all second grade ore can beseored until such time as the best method of treating it be ascertained and a suitable works erected. To facilitate,the above construction and provide a more economical method of transporting ore, a wagon road should be constructed to Vevey wharf. With a maximum grade of 40 per cent, or 529 feet per mile, about two to two and a half miles of road would be required, probably costing $2,000 per mile. For the' erection and equipment of a compressed air drilling plant the size indicated, about $10,000 would be required, and ore house and equipment might be placed at $3,000 to $4,000 more. I assume that the capacity of drilling plant will be enlarged when the development reaches that stage where it is advisable" to begin stoping. A. small assay office at the mine, where rough tests can be rapidly made, is necessary." In the ea.ily days of Victoria there was a card who was coming continually before the judge as a drunk and incapable, and was as often let off with a caution. This time he was up again, and the judge said "Now, Pat, I can't stand this any longer; I shall have to punish you, I'll give you seven days' goal." "Well, yer honor, I'll shake the dice or play you' a game of seven up, to see whether it will be 14 days or nothing." Pat won out. ��������� .

Mann, of tlie firm of Mackenzie & Mann, lias arrived from the oast. He is in British Columbia for the purpose of discussing railway 'matters with the government at Victoria. "I have come directly through from Winnipeg," said Mr. Mann. "You may say I am here for the purpose of talking over railway questions with the members of the government at Victoria, imd considering matters in connection with proposals in which we are interested. I expect to be in Victoria for a few weeks and then return to the east." Mr. Mann went on to say, in reply to further questions, that he was not in a position to slate the nature of the negotiations, or what he expected would be done Until the questions had been talked oyer at Victoria. "In Manitoba everything is looking particularly prosperous," he said. "Our line is doing a splendid business. General trade there and in the east could not be better." Mr. Mann was asked regarding plans for the Canada Northern's proposed extension into British Columbia, and to the Pacific terminus at Kitimat. We feel that the business and territory south of the Canadian Pacific and along'the boundary will be looked after very well by the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern. The natural competition of business between the two companies will cause one or the other to build lines to all districts needing railways, and the development of these sections can be safely left to them. The northern railway is what we want now. Of course we have the charter for ��������� the Coast-Kootenay line, and we are now building twenty-eight miles of that us a connection, and natural] v intend to go on with construction." lomlnion of Canada.

ESssKseaasssmvsBfaass^mnbLVjLwt^Mt^/mar^^TBa A curious case was tried in a Toronto court recently. A merchant tailor who did not belong to the union adopted the union label. He was sued by the union fordoing so, and the union was defeated. The court held that any man was allowed to adopt any label he .pleased under such circumstances. The Crow's Nest Coal Co. has bluntly told the Fernie merchants that, in spite of all former pledges and understandings, they will establish acompany store at the mine. The company offers to buy out any merchant who considers that this move will materially hurt his business. The works at the Kootenay coal oil fields are still progressing. ' The. shaft is down 320 feet and a large flow of natural gas has been struck, also a Bmall flow of oil. Signs are very good. They have struck under the edge of the over- thrust, as it is technical^' known, and may not have to go deeper to cet to the cretaceous formation on which the oil lies. z There is one thing in connection with the recent cut in rates by the smelters those most interested cannot 'understand. The smelters have made a ciitof $4 in certain ores, while the railways have reduced freights by 50 cents only. This means that for a certain ore the smelters charged for several years past .$8.50 more than they are charging now, and making money at present rates. Was not then the extra $3.50 paid by the mines for several years an excessive bonus for the smelters to make? B&WmmmmmmmiimBlttNBmWiaBB store.
