The Kootenay people appear to be in earnest in their efforts to secure an independent smelting, refining and exporting system for the handling of the productions of our mines in this country. With the smelters in existence and others projected, fair facilities for present product, this far,would be available; but we must have a refinery on such a financial basis as will ensuie the .sale of our refined products in the best markets of the world as they open. At the present we believe there is a proposition before the Federal House to erect and operate such a refinery, if the government will bonus it to the extentof of $5.00 per ton for three years. This might in the end amount anywhere from $600,000 to $1,000,000. Th is a mount may appear large to some, but it is in reality small compared to wiiat tho government has already done for the iron and other industries, for steamships, railways and tariffs to build up the country in other channels. , On Wednesday evening Mr. G. 0. Buchannan, of Kaslo, addressed a meeting of citizens in favor of sending delegates from Sandon, in common with other districts of the Kootenay, to Ottawa, to press this matter on the government. It is felt that if we show the government we are in earnest through a< forceful delegation there, is a strong probability the end will be gained. After the matter was fully discussed by several, the following resolution was put and unanimously carried: _ Moved by David Heap and seconded by C. Cliffe: ; : 'That this,meeting of Sandon citizens and others interested directly or indirectly in silver-lead mining heartily endorse the .scheme -''outlined by Mr. G. O. Buchanan urging upon the Dominion Government the advisability of granting a bounty amounting to .$5.00 per ton, to any company or companies for lead mined, smelted and refined in Canada... Also that the meeting believes very strongly in the desirability "of sending a large delegation to Ottawa for the purpose of advocating the aforesaid bounty." ' , " With other delegates chosen by the Council, the Miners' Union, etc., Sandon would be well represented. If the refinery on a pioper basis was aesured, and ample precaution taken in the charter to Hill's road into- the coal fields, to secure an ample supply of coke and coal for our smelters ami other interests on advantageous terms, the country would go ahead in leaps and bounds. Every town should elect its delegates and all should go together oh one excursion, maturing plans.on the way for a most forcible presentation of -the case On meeting the government. Let every town do its duty in this matter at once. The following resolution was passed by the Silver-lead Mines' Association : "Whereas: There is a movement on foot throughout British Columbia having for itsobiect the sending of a large, influential deputation to Ottawa with instructions to interview the Dominion government and earnestly urge the granting of a bounty of $5 per ton on lead mined, smelted and refined in Canada. Therefore, be it resolved that, believing in the usefulness ��������� and the necessity of such action, the Silver-Lead Mines Association will send three delegates." Sandon Ore Shipments. i' I, ...

Tom Elliott, better known as "Fatty the plumber," left on Wednesday for a few weeks' visit at his home in Garfield, Washington. K. F. Green, a member of the mining oomtuitteecin the local House, said that a government smelter and refinery would materially aid the mining industry of this province. ���������;' It is unofficially stated, but believed to be correct, that the C. P. R. has offered to build the proposed. Coast- Kootenay railway; without a subsidy, and within a specified time. If you intend, to go prospectinfi this spring, you need a good tent.-.Write for prices.to-Theo. Madson, tent and awning maker, Nelson, whose advertisement appears in another column. Mr. John McMillan, lately night'shift foreman at the Payne, leaves in a few days for home in Fietou, Nova Scotia. After a short sojourn with friends there, he intends starting for Dawson City. Aid. E. A. Cameron, who has been on a I'isit to his home in Stormont for about three months, returned to Sandon on Monday. While away" he visited Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and other cities in the east. The Mineral Act may before long be amended so as to compel the locator to do ten feet ol assessment work and find mineral in the claim before it can be recorded, and-ninety days will be allowed to record it.

Smith left for Spokane, on Thursday, taking leave of a great many friends atthe depot. J. E. Annable, of Nelson, presented a cinematograph production of the Queen's funeral procession in the Miners' Union Hall last night to a good audience- The views were very clear and realistic, and the solemn, gorgeous scene was greatly admired. The proposed school law, if adopted in its present form, will work a great hardship on small towns. At the present for instance, Sandon gets about ���������$1800 the from government.and under thc proposed law it will get but $900, forcing the people to tax themselves for #900 if they keep the second teacher. When the school attendance is less than 100 in cities, the law will entail a great deal of hardi-hip. Mr. Green should see the per capita allowance was at. least $35 in cities with an attendance of less than a hundred. HINES AND fllNING. Hospital News. There are eight patients in the hospital just now. , The following new patients admitted this week were: Chas. MeCnllay, Thos Siarias, H. Pay scant (typhoid fever), Ed Cusic, John Black, Dan McKenzie and John .Allan. Chas.

Martin Shannon,1 Neil Prest, James Burns and Frank Campbell are cured of their illness and have left the hospital. The present output of B.C. smelters is about 3,500 tons a day. The Slocan Star will increase its staff to sixty men about April 1st." 'The Hartney and the Hewitt expect to increase their shipments soon. Last week's ore shipments from the entire Slocan amounted to 515 tons. The Highland at Ainsworth, shipped 200 tons to the Hall Mines Smelter this week. . ��������� Chas. Plowman made the second payment on the Fletcher group at Whitewater a few days ago. .The Molly Gibson and Chapleau are in the hands of the sheriff for non-payment of supplies purchased from local dealers. ������ The Whitewater mine has about 1,000 tons of ore, spread over three acres of ground, ready for shipment as soon as ariangements can be made for smelting. From the indications it is likely the owners of the Chapleau mine will put up $10,000 to pay the judgments recently recorded against the property. In that case the mine will shortly be running again. Mr. David Heap, manager of the Last Chance mine, has forwarded samples of silver-lead ore from the Last Chance, Reco and Trade Dollar, to be exhibited at the Mining Congress to be held in Los Angeles, California. . The,Sunset mine at Whitewater started two weeks ago to ship, but had to closedown on account of the smelter difficulty. Some: 20 men were laid off and 5 are left to continue development. Two carsof ore were shipped this month. Hotel Arrivals For the Week. Kaslo Curlers Defeat Sandon. Waugh'8 rink from Kaslo played three friendly games with as many Sandon rinks this week, and won two games out of three in the contest. The players were as follows: Wednesday Afternoon: Sandon Kaslo Clark Carrie Kavanagh McKinnon McDonald .

It never was the intention to send men to parliament to play ducks and drakes with the public domain as they think proper. It is poor satisfaction to defeat a government for granting subsidies after the property is placed beyond tho control of the people. ��������� . ��������� At a meeting of citizens on Friday, the Mayor in the chair, the following spoke advocating the course: D. Heap, C. Cliffe. W. H. Lilly, W. Davidson, J. V. Martin and J. Vallance.

USE OF SALADS. Salads' deserve more recognition in the average household than they are wont to receive, says a student of hygiene and an up-to>-date cook. .Where pure oil is used in the dressing they are a fjne nerve tonic. .Tlhe simple French is recommended in preference to the heavy mayonnaise. The. value of a salad depends upon its ingredients and the skill with which they are combined Fish, meats' oif all kinds, vegetables, fruits, and nuts* are palatable dressed as salads, and should be very cold when served. There are three styles of dishes in which salads may be Served; namely, a flaring, vegetable dish, a shallow grain bowl, and plates the same size as pie-plates. For a ("Sweet salad dressing rub two rounded tablespoons of almond butter smooth with two-thirds of a cup of water, add two tablespoons of sugar, one-fourth of a teaspoon of salt; cook as for sour dressing, and add two tablespoons of lemon juice. When a yellow color is desired with either the dweet or the sour dressing, have the beaten yolk of an egg in a bowl, and just as you remove the dressing lrom the fire, pour it over ihe egg, b little at a time, stirring well at first. When the egg ia used, a little water and more lemon juice may be required. The dressing ia especially .palatable on finely sliced apples, apples and oelery, apples and very ripe bananas', strawberries and bananas, or pineapple and orange. If the dressing is put on as soon as the fruit ia sliced, it will not turn dark. Codfish Salad���������Pull codfish into thin strips, soak twelve hours in oold water, then change to fresh and let lie half an hour. Remove the moisture with a soft towel, dip in melted butter and broil. While warm shred finely, and when cold add a very little vinegar. Place on the ,top of some finely shredded cabbage, and serve with mayonnaise dressing. Mayonnaise Dressing���������Beat the yolks of two eggs with half a teaspoon of ������alt and a teaspoon of mustard. Beat in, a little at a time, sixteen tablespoons of melted butter. When a emo-oLh paste results, dilute with vinegar until it is the consistency of thick cream. An orange salad is vary appetizing made as follows ;���������Peel carefully half dozen largo oranges, pull apart, ' and remove the seeds. Wash, scrape, and cut fine an equal quantity of celery. Put a large spoonful of mixed oelery and orange on a crisp lettuce leaf on each salad plate, and pour over it a dressing made as follows : Beat the yolks of two eggs very light, add one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half teagpoonfal of mustard, and one rounded teaspoonful of sugar. Beat thoroughly, and add six table- spoonfuls of melted! butter and pix of lemon juioe. Cook until it is creamy, then add the well-beaten whites" of two eggs, JVihen cold, stir in one-half cupful of whipped oream. Cabbage Salad���������To two quarts of finely chopped cabbage add two level tablespoons Bait, two of white sugar, one of black pepper. Moisten wii.ii mayonnaise dressing. Make thi*������ the foundation "and centre of 'the salad, to rest on border of crisp, yellow lettuce leaves. At the base of the nicely rounded mound of cabbage arrange a border of beet, evenly chopped and having been previously boiled and pickled for a few hours in vinegar. Ene rich red between the cabbage and the curling lettuce leaved is very attractive. Over the mound of cabbage arrange a few soft brush should be usod for smoothing the nap and removing, dust. If wetted with rain, a hat should be left to dry, and then brushed with a harder brush than usuaL Wash-leather gloves will bear frequent washings with warm water and yellow soap; but the water must noit be hot, or it will shrivel the Leather. They should be dried and drawn upon the hand, before they are quite dry, ao las to preserve their shape. Kid gloves may be somewhat cleaned, by, the use of iudia rubber, or hread crumbs. Silk and cotton gloves may be washed with soap and water, and ironed when nearly dry. Those of a lilao or lavender color will be slices of hard-boiled egg and a spoon- ' improved by. the use of a little soda in ful of mayonnaise dropped on the cen- the water. tie of the top and in little cavities made here and there with the spoon. Let the.remainder of the mayonnaise be served in a pitcher. GOOD SUGGESTIONS. Care is- a good economist in a wardrobe; it will save the nine stitches by putting thc ono that is needed; and by folding, and brushing, and putting away, will make clothes, last and look respectable (twice as long as they otherwise would. A careful person will also find it Worth while to change .the clothing according to the present employment. W omen's dresses and mantles are kept better hiung up in wardrobes, or cl/ose-ts secured from dust, than folded imi drawers, as they1 become creased and tuimibled by folding. Men's clothes, when folded, should be placed where there is room for them to lie, Without being pressed.'as the brushes Drawers or wardrobes, especially where woolens are kept, should be occasionally emptied and left open in the influence of the fresh air and sunshine, and all the corners cleared from dust. This, and taking care never to put away clothes damp, will more likely prevent the moth than any recipe that can be given for the purpose. In addition, however, it can do no harm, and may do good, to sprinkle either a little camphor, lavender, rue, laurel, pepper or cedar wood, each of which is said to keep away moth. Ailittle newly made charcoal placed among clothes will prevent the unpleasant smell they often have when laid by. c Clothes brushes should be kept clean by occasionally washing in cold water. Hair brushes and combs should be washed in warm, water and soda; more or less soda will be needed, according are more or less Before brushing clothes, if they are very dusty, they should be shaken, or spread upon a horse, and some of the dust whipped out with a switch; or, if there is much dry dirt, it should be rubbed off. They may ���������then be spread upon a clean board, and brushed the way the nap of the cloth runs. They,should be brushed lightly and quickly; in such a manner as not to scrape off the nap. A duster should be at haord - to remove dirtt' as it gathers an the board. Hats should be put away from dusty places, when out of use. A greasy. The washing should be done quickly; as soaking in the water softens the bristles and spoils the glue. They should then be rinsed in cold water and shaken as dry as possible, and they, will soon be as hard and good as new. Brawn paper laid on a grease spot and rubbed wiltth a hot iron will be almost sure to remove it. But if the girease is very thick the paper must be frequently changed.. ; Spirits of turpentine or gin, or spirits of wine, rubbed in with a little flannel,, will remove paint. - ' I I III "'II1 IT*f*t- A teaspoonful of essential oil of" lemon to a wineglassful of spirits of turpentine will make scouring' drops to clean the edges,of coat collars and cuffs. Milk will entirely remove ink if it is applied before the ink dries in." Balls for cleaning cloth may 'be made by mixing six parts of fuller's, earth to one part of pearlash, and, when mixed, kneading into a paste with lemon juice. iFor shoes, a sharp knife should never be used to remove dirt, or tha- leather will most likely be cut. An Old oyster knife or a thin strip of hard wood will scrape off the worst dir/t, and the rest should be brushed off by a hard brush kept for a dirt brush. Blacking <may then be applied, for which the following may be found a good recipe; Four ounces of finely powdered ivory black, four ounces of treacle, three quarters of a pint of vinegar, two drachms of spermaceti oil. The oil and ivory black should be first well mixed, then", the treacle and lastly the vinegar. To make shoes waterproof melt over a slow fire half a pint of oil, an. ounce of beeswax, an ounce of turpeny tine and a quarter of an ounce of Burgundy pitch. This mixture may be applied two or three times until tho leather is quite saturated, and it will then be more soft and pliable and- wear much longer than otherwise. The bright or patent leather shoes should be cleaned with a little milk, when it is necessary to wet them at all; but generally a soft cloth will bo sufficient to rub them- with. WHAT COURT MOURNING MEANS. Exd'cuics lo Which II.

To-morrow will come the pains and soreness in the chest, the bronchial tubes and lung"-". Once again' is repeated.-tlie old story of consumption or pneumonia developed from a neglected cold. There ia no uso giving up and saying, "What is to be will bo," for you can relievo and loosen any cough and thoroughly cure the cold by using Dr. Chase's Syrup- of Linseed, and Turpentine, which ��������� for nearly a third of a century has been the ".stand-by" in thousands of Canadian hom.es, as a safeguard against pnoumonia, consumption, and serious lung troubles. Though turpentine had long been considered 'invaluable as a remedial ag-enit for inflammation of tho air passages, it remained for Dr. A. W. Chase. to soi combine it with linseed, licorice, and half a dozen other ingredients as to make a pleasant tasting and remarkably effective preparation for ooughs, colds, and kindred ailments. Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine Is different irofrn any; used. When tired of new-fangled mixtures of uncertain merit you can turn to Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine with absoilute assurance that it is the safest, surest, and most thorough cure for coughs and colds that was ever discovered. Mrs. F. Dwyer, of Chesterviiile, says;���������"My little girl of three years had an attack of bronchial pneumonia. My husband and I thought, sho was goimg to lcav������ the world, as" her case resisted tho doctor's treatment. I bought a bottle of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine from our popular druggist, W. G. Bolster. Af- tp.r tho first two or three doses tho' child began to got better, and we are thankful to say is all right to-day after seven weeks' sickness." Nearly every druggist has some sort of a cough mixture to offer you in" place of what you ask for, but if you want to be cured insist on having Dr. Chase's.

The term* carries greater significance than the average mortal may presume. Even the death of a much less noted personage than Queen [Victoria plunges the Courts into a period! of mourning more or less prolonged" during whichi it is a very serious,' solecism' to give any entertainment or indulge in festi- ivitiesf of any kind- Worse still one must go about clothed in garments of sable hue rubies, diamonds', sapphires, in fact everything in the Jewel line save the pearl emblem of salty team must be called in. Even/ the men are not exempt but must conform in dress and wear the outward; manifestations of sorrow. They wear a mourui.ag hund on the hat and discard coloured ties. If entitled to wear a amforis one must adorn the sleeve with the customary black band. In fact royal relations are so extensive, and so complicated to-day that it is estimated that the European Courts: are on an average in mourning for nine months out of the twelve. No Co art goes to the same extreme, however, as that of Russia when an Emperor or Empress dies tliere all Muscovite officials and dignitaries: above a certain rank are compelled to array themselves, their families: and servants in the habiliments' of woe. Their carriages must be upholstered in black and have the coat of arms reversed crest and monogram removed from the panels of the equippage while one of tho saloons", of the residence must be draped black. All the gold and silver embroideries on :t������ie -oniforma have to bo covered' with crape. ��������� lAfek these official costumes' are very qxm pensive costing as" much.: as" $800 and aro ruined by a drop of snow or rain falling! on the crapo, and staining the finer fabric it may w,ell be presumed that Court mourning in Russia at least is a very serious* business. tt i STORY. SHORT, STRAIGHTFORWARD, EARNEST AND TO THE POINT. "Hr. J������ha Fletcher, of Gr-e.i-.tOB, Tells Dow He W*e Cared of IiMmbago fey Dodd's Kidney Pills. Gran ton, Ont:, .Feb. 25, (Special),��������� Tihetre are few people in this county. who do not know Mi*. John Fletcher, farmer, .of Granton.-Mr. Fletcher is is not only well known but highly respected, and his many friends: will -rejoice to hear that he has entirely recovered from the very severe attack of Lumbago, which almost prostrated hlim last year. Ho has given out tho following statement of his case and its cure. "I have been troubled for over a . year wiith Lumbago also Kidney Ttrouble. My urine was of a very dark red color, and my back was fearful bad. I could get nothing to help me. Dodd's Kidney- Pills cured "me. I am well, Lumbago all gone, and urine natural color." Tho remedy that cured Mr. Fletcher has never failed in Kidney Trouble. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the hope of every sufferer from Lumbago, Sciatica, or Larno Back. They never fail. SUPPRESSION OF HINDUSTANI. tingla-id's (imIIi-i- Subjects t'xelte'l Over a l.:iiig'ii-i<;e Order. The language trouble in Malta, caused by the recent order providing for the use of English in the courts", has been followed by another, of much larger dimensions, in India. In the Northwest Province there are 47,000,000 of people, of whom 44,000,000 speak Hindi, but now that it has been determined to recognize legal documents written in the Hindi character, an outcry is raised by the Mohammedans, who complain that they will have to learn a now alphabet, and that Urdu, their language, is being suppressed. Urdu, or Hindustani, as it is generally called, isi the language.that grew up iin the camps of , the Persian-speaking Mussulman conquerors, and is a fusion of Hindi und Persian. Hindi, with a very Blight mixture of Persian and Arabian words, remains the language of the lower orders and the agricultural population. Urdu, that of the higher, approximates to Persian on one aide or Hindi on the other, according as the speaker is." town bred and a Mussulman or a Hindoo villager. Under the Moguls, Persian alone, a foreign language, wiuh its own character, which is written from right to left, could be used in the courts, but whan the British succeeded to the government of the country, they substituted Hindustani, the alphabet of which is the same as; the Persian. Hindi, on tho other hand, is written in the Sanskrit letters���������a square character which is written from left to right, and, unless Some educated main happens to live tliere, this would bo the only writing which could be read in an ordinary village. No experienced officer ever refused a Hindi petition, even under the old order of things. The new order directs that in future petitions and complaints in either character must bo "received, and that potices issued by the courts, must be filled in in both characters. Practically it permits 44,000,000 out of 47,000,000 to use tho-only alphabet of which they have any knowledge, which does not seem unjust or illogical. But the trouble is that tho office holders are largely Mohammedan, who are violently exorcised over the prospect of having to learn another dialect. BULLFIGHTS STILL POPULAR. Th������ brutal Spanish bullfights are as popular as ever in that land. The average number of horses killed in Spain every year exceeds 5,000, while from 1,000 to 1,200 bulls are sacrificed.

Tie MiiiiM Review. SATURDAY, MARCH 16, 1901. CRITICAL. One after another the Slocan mines are shutting down because they can get no market for their ore, which is rendering the situation most critical. Bra- den, of the American smelter trust, says the impediment in the way is the C. P. 11. rates���������that that company wants as much for hauling ore. to the boundary, an average of perhaps 100 miles, as the Hill railway gets for hauling it the rest of the distance to the smelters, ten times as long a haul. A comparison of schedule rates, however, proves this is not the case; but even if it was it would not alter the situation���������Slocan mines cannot sell their ore to advantage, and hence the close. We believe the smelter capacity the continent over is pretty well taxed, and more smelters and refineries are required. This, it seems to us, is the opportunity for our representatives, Federal and Provincial, to make themselves of service to the country. Tariff policies may be useful at times���������they are always serviceable in shutting out illegitimate compe- ";' tition���������slaughter sales���������but they cannot ease t/ie situation in British Columbia at present. Last year's commerceshows the United States consumed more lead than they produced, that they had to buy from Canada and Mexico. This shows conclusively to be properous our products require access to the United States as well as Great Britain, China and elsewhere. We want access to the markets wherever they are, as our own consumption can never be more than a fraction of what we produce. The step then is facilities to enable us- to meet all and every market from time to time, on even footing with all other producing countries. This leads to many considerations. It shows that our labor legislation by which the owners get but 75 percent, of former returns for wage expenditures capped by a double tax on output, all frightening capital away, and handicapping at liome, is vexatious and embarrassing at the outset. Next we meet wilh an insufficient suppiy of smelters to handle our output, absence of refineries to mimimi8e bulk for profitable export, and lastly exorbitant freight fates to the seaboard. If these conditions were all advantageously changed by our governments, as they could be, our industry would go ahead by leaps and bounds. Some of these vexatious enactments were passed to please basswood politicians only, and others of them to meet a revenue depleted by unjustifiable payments to bonus and subsidy mongers in various forms. While then our provincial legislature could do much by leformed senti. inent, the federal government could do the rest by treating silver-lead mining as it is treating iron mining and other similar industries. Today the government is paying a considerable bonus to i stimulate the iron industry in other provinces, and why our representatives do not force them to bonus smelters and refineries here is something that cannot on any equitable reasoning be fairly understood. British. Columbia does not want something for nothing���������it only wants assistance for an infant industry, such as the National Policy gave to the manufactories in tlie east, and as bonuses are given to the iron development, and our mines will in return amply repay in the shape of revenue, markets for NOT COD-LIVER OIL but Scott's emulsion of cod- liver oil. They are not the same; far from it Scott's emulsion is cod-liver oil prepared for the stomach. Let cod-liver oil alone if you need it. When your physician orders toast, do you breakfast on flour? Pure cod-liver oil is hard to take and hard to digest. A man that can keep it down, can saw wood. He thinks he is sick; he is lazy. We'll send you a little to try if you like.

It is a surprise to many that there should be so many sympathisers in the United States and other advanced countries, but when the facts are looked into, the circumstance is easily explained. England has always been foremost in the progress of the age, and to retain that position she necessarily had to tread on tlie toes of many both at home and abroad. Hence Boer sympathy. It I is not because Great Britain made a j wrong step in relieving the oppression of her subjects in South Africa, that has produced this feeling of hostility in any quarter. It is only the result of jealousy and inherent antagonism to the institutions of the country simply because they are British, and would have shown itself no matter what steps might have at any time been taken.

The Boer war is now virtually, at an end. and though it was a sad one for many of the best families of Great Britain and all her colonies, it was justifiable on England's part in order to retain her name as a friend of the oppressed and a defender of general; freedom. It may have been that many years ago the ancestors of the present Boers were not treated in the more southern countries of Africa, where they then resided, with all the consideration due to a people of their class; but that is no defence for the late Krugsrism of the Transvaal. The pricipal grievances of theUitlanders were extortionate taxation while de- A man looks at his trembling hands and says: "I feel a bit shaky this morning, and shall need a bracer."

Tlie Review is always ready to grapple with public matters or matters affecting the public, but it refuses absolutely to take up the side of individuals. .The Mayor says the proposed contract for water supply for the city embodies no penalties if the supply is not contined, and he lias as- suiances the Sandon Water and Light Co. are not in a position to guarantee a supply for any length of time. He refuses to sign vouchers for accounts passed because there is no money on hand to pay them wheu passed,!principally because the beneliciories refuse to pay their taxes. -.Until these taxes are paid tliere will be no money with which to pay such accounts. He contends there is nothing personal in the matter so far as he its concerned. Whether he is on the street or not cannot be told until the judgment in the late suit is given. If it should turnout his building is on the street, then the late building was on it, and why. was not action taken then, i nd why is not action, if the matter is not personal, taken against other parties whose buildings are in line with his? This is the way the Mayor puts it. The city to get proper insurance needs a good water and light service, and it ie to be hoped the tangle will be so unravelled, that they both can begot without further delay, in the interest of the city at large. As but a few days can elapse before it will be seen whether the Mayor's surmise is ' right or wrong, the people may rest assured the question of water supply mu6t be disposed of one way or another at an early day.

Senator Cox, who is largely interested in the Crow's Nest Pass coal mines,must be a versatile genius. He urges a charter to the Hill railway to the coal fields, and then says export of coal to the American smelters can be stopped by an export duty on coal���������all of which shows he is more or Jess of a humbug as well as a man of versatility. The idea is simply this: First get the outlet to Un- American smelters'built, and then bring influence to bear on the federal government to stop them from doing, what he now says Bays can be done���������granting the, export duty. Thc Canadian people are being continually bitten by tricksters like Cox. If it is not well to have any of our coal exported, the idea is to refuse the Hill charter. .If it is well to have the Hill road built, we must expect to see a lot of our coal go over it.

Where are the papers now that used to advocate an export duty on Slocan ores, notably the Nelson Tribune and the Kootenaian ? It is no secret that the British Columbia smelters are now literally clogged with ore, and if there was an export duty on, the Slocan Star and such other properties as are marketing in the United States, would ;* either have to run at a Joss or shut down altogether. A prudent journal is always governed by facts as they crop up, and not by threadworn theories. /Even yet the Irish, party is showing itself to possess considerable strength in . the British house of parliament. Many of the moves of that party are wise, and many of them are otherwise. No doubt coniiscation or purchase of the estates of Ireland, and throwing the properties open for settlement by the overpopulation of the crowded districts, would to a large extent relieve present distress; i but such a course is too much tainted 1 with the socialistic stick to meet with the favor for success in that assembly. We believe the prime cause of the distress of Ireland may be traced directly to the English tariff. Considered in the abstract, without heavy emigration, Ireland was in the end bound to suffer the ills of over population. Without thu ��������� "supplies of iron and coal that nature bestowed on lhe sister isie, Ireland could never have gone extensively into hardware manufactures; but the tariff policy destroyed the linen factories that would have given employment to the millions that since their destruction have lived and died in destitution. *������������������������������������������������������������������������ ������������������o������co������c������o������������0o������������������������9������0������eooa������0������9o������ THE BIG- STORE, I Tlie Hrst 'Shipment -of Spnn��������� _ {Arrived and More on the Way, | We- are Offering Special Values in Dress Goods, I I Carpets, Oilcloths, Tapestry, Spares, Curtains! j J Have You Had Our Latest Quotations on Groceries? s e ���������i^rrzrzr:^:^:^!:- -��������� ...,.; lhe Kaslo Smelter.

It used to be said that winter dairying was so touch more expensive than summer that extra profits obtained lrom it hardly (paid. Thus impression ���������was due as much to our general ignorance of how to adapt ourselves to thc jic,w industry as to anything els*e. The fact is wo can distribute our work over the winter by a little planning so tihat it need not be any Imore expensive. As it is: now we devote nil oif our time to summer .dairying, and them when win tea* comes an we have little do do. The crowded* condition of farm, work in summer is often a worry to the fa-timer, and it is also responsible for touch waste and loss. Durimg the rush season higher farm wages must be paid, and often enough thc products cannot be marketed or harvested in ,time to get the best results. Now, by taking up winter dairying systematically we redistribute this whole work, and devote most of our time to securing good crops for tlie animals to live on when giv- , ing us the most in return. Ono o-f the weakest points of dairymen in the past has been that of raising adequate crops for: their animals. The shiftless ones would have different pasture for them in ' the early spring and summer, during which, time they would manage to get the heaviest and richest yield of milk. In thc fall and winter the animals would have to worry and' starve along on poor fodder. Tihose "who wore more progressive would provide same soiling crop for late fall feeding, nnd would lay in a fair amount of good hay. But this system, even was only a poor inakesTiift. It was! mot until the silo.came into general ���������use that we could see our way to furnish tho c&ws with something like decent, succulent food. Now with tho ensilage, good soiling, winter rootg, and hay and course fodder, .we can winter our best milch cows almost as successfully as in summer. They get not only a variety of food, but, rich,- succulent, milk-making rations. T:hey thrive on this food, and with (proper care yield nearly as much milk as in summer. Winter dairying thus consists of the .proper distribution of our farm work oyer the whole year. In the summer our time and attention must bo given chiefly to the growing of crops for winter feeding. Pastures; will supply the cows with their summer food, and all the -heavy, cultivated crops can then be garnered for winter feeding. This work costs: no more than tho old method of raising crops for. summer feeding, and letting the animals half starve, through the long winter.

In some other lines of work, park-marking. for example, it is sometimes: Underestimated. When the grounds are of any considerable size there ought to be an adequate, undefined, entrance area. The entrance is of some importance in itself, and other items in its immediate, neighborhood may best be made subordinate to it. Usually tlhis area will be more or less* enlarged by being -recessed from tlhe outside. This emphasizes the entrance, makes it seem more hospitably inviting, gives room for a carriage turn, etc. Usually, there will be a gateway* of some sort; and if the vicinity outside or inside, is! full of buildings, the design of the entrance will probably, be architectural in its maini features. There is such an infinite variety of architectural ideas to be worked put for Buch places that no general suggestions! can be made. For country places,- Wihere the antrance is made among purely natural surroundings, considerably less of architectural effect is permissible. Some very simple, substantial .stone work is Usually best. . Downing, and the people of Ms day, always' affected "rustic" work���������poles with the bark on���������for such places; and though these sometimes gave a satisfactory result, they axe much less! din vogue at the present. It is quite customary to make the turn-in, especially on moderate sized (places, at right angles: with the exterior highway. While this arrangement Is often best, it might be greatly improved, in many cases', by Bubstitufciing a less abrupt tuira. Tihe main drive may frequently be arranged to leave the public way very gently at an acute angle. FAIR OFFER.

When the Duke of Kent, our late Queen's father, and Edward VTI.'s grandfather, waa appointed Commander-in-Chief of the troops in Halifax, the morals of society were in a very bad condition, through the use of cards and drink. The Duke, who never toucned cards, and who was a "Martinet" with hia men, to do away with these vices, ordered early morning parade at 5 o'clock, always attending . it himself. This compelled the troopB to retire aft am early hour, and the evil practically ceased. The Duke would often walk at night through the streets of Halifax; disguised,; and if he saw any of his meo drunk, would go behind them and say, "Steady, boys, steady; this won't do for Neddie," "Neddie" being his army nickname. This vigilance made the soldiers more careful in their behaviour aa they had wholesome dread of being found out and punished. Hia Royal Highness resided a few miles out of Halifax, at Prince's Lodge on Bedford Basin. The grounds around hia house were beautifully laid out: winding- paths led in every direction through the woods that lay behind it. There were and are many stories told of him during his stay in Halifax, yet the accuracy of them is hard to prove. The Band Stand alone stands to mark the spot where he resided. This was built round, !fn imitation of the Roman architecture, aa was also the clock tower oh the Citadel, and St. George's church. These were all designed by the Duke, who built the church, thus so he said, " That the devil might be kept out of the corners." .When off duty a more genial man or a greater favorite was rarely known. He was very fond of hunting and fishing* and deyoted much of hia spare time to these sports. The former was done principally at "The Brae," as. the property of Mr. A. S. Creighton of Dartmouth, is called. Louis of BattenSmrg- viaited this family during' hia stay in Halifax, and through him the Queen learned of her father's friendship with the Creigb- ton family. As an acknowledgment of this fact, the Queen sent her photograph with autograh attached, to Mr. Creighton'a widow, and the Royal gift now hangs in a prominent spot upon one of the walls in her sitting room. The Duke's favorite fishing place was Loon Lake In Dartmouth. The house which he occupied and had enlarged to accommodate hia suite ia atilj standing-. Although, many years hav������ passed away since the Duke waa recalled to England, and he and all his old frienda have gone to their long rest, yet as the father of the best sovereign England has ever known, the Duke of Kent's memory ia still revered, in the garrison city by the sea, -where many of hia works remain as mementos of the time he spent there. LORD ROBERTS ON TEMPERANCE. "Give me a teetotal army, and I will go anywhere, and do anything with it." These wore Lord Roberts worda* to Mr. W. S. Caine, as reported by him at the World's Temperance Congress in London. Mr. Caine also said that the . veteran Commander-in- Ohief Ln South Africa had once told him that the temperance movement had increased the effective strength of the Indian Army by two battalions, equal to a money gift of two millions of dollars per annum. Theafe are strong statements', and coming from Lord Roberts, t(hey carry -un^ told woig-ht. "Bobs" is not the man to say what lie does not mean, or to say -more tiban he means. His' management of temperance affairs in connection with the men under his command, which is always in the direction of keeping from them the temptations of drink, gives additional emphasis to hisl words. He and his stern Qbief-of-Staff, Lord Kitchener hare done much to keep the British army in the field in these modern daystfrom the greatest enemy it has* to fight.. , Nor is Lord Wolseley, tho late Comamnder-in-Chief of the-- army, less uncompromising. So much, happily, have things changed for the better. WHY THE BISHOP DID NOT SCOLD "A little boy- in the neighborhood of Bishop Brooks' home in Boston was one day mischievously cringing doorbells and running away before the doors were opened, In pursuit of this amusement he ran up the steps of the bishop's residence, and the bishop, happening to be in the hall ready to go out, opened the door, quickly, before the boy had turned to descend the steps. The child was* so startled by the sudden appearance of the good man, who (had a kindly smile for all children, that he ejaculated; 'Why, Phi'ps Brooks! Do you live here ?' In spite of the misdemeanor the bishop conld not find it in his heart to scold the little fellow. He also had been a boy." STILL A CHANCE FOR HIM. "So you reject mo !" the young lawyer said bitterly. "I wonder if it would do any good to appeal the case to your father!" Sihe shook her head. "There is no appeal from my decision," she -replied. I am what you call the court of last resort." "But I can't give up the case iro this way!" lie exclaimed. She dug the sand with the point of her -parasol. "Mr. Braxton," she said, Softly, might you not ask for a new trial?" I-OT'.^'W-.

There are thousands of young girls' throughout Canada who owe their good health, if not life itself, to the timely use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Among these is Mise) Maud Patterson, whose home is in the vicinity of Strathroy, Ont. To a reporter who interviewed her, Miss Patterson said : "Several years ago I began to suffer from headaches, wag easily tired out, and could see that my health was not what it had been. At first I did not think there was anything serious the matter, and thought the trouble would pass away. In this, however, I was mistaken, for as time went on I became weaker. The headaches attacked me more frequently, my appetite failed; if I stooped I would .grow so dizzy that I would almost fall over. I became very pale, and always felt tired and worn out. I was advised to try Dr. .Williams' Pink Pills, and I have reason to rejoice that I followed the advice, and as Icontinued their use.it seemed as though day by day they were imparting new life to me. My appetite improved, the headaches disappeared, the pallor left my face, the diaziness that bothered me so much also .disappeared, and I felt altogether like a different person. I feel that I owe my renewed health entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and as 1 know, that there are many girls who fluff er aa I did I would urge them to lose no time in giving this medicine a fair trial." The oase of Miss Patterson certainly carries with it a lesson to others who may be pale, languid, easily tired, or subject to headaches, or the other distressing symptoms that mark the onward progress of anaemia. In cases of this kind Dr. Williams' Pink Pills will give more certain and speedy results than any other medicine. They act promptly and directly, making new, rich red blood, and strengthen the nerves, and correct all the irregularities incident to this critical period, cident to this critical period.

From Chicago and IMilull* lo.It lie*; Toils of Great Itrlinlu ��������� .Vccc.s-.ltyj! of :;Kcc|-lii-; llic St. Lawrence ltlvcrJ8'rcc';i',roiu Obstruction. ' ������ ���������Th������ cities along the Great Lakes froim Duluth an the West to Buffalo oln the East have had an extraordinary development in tho last twenty years, writes a Chicago correspondent. Surrounding these cities is: a region which is now the greatest steel and iron manufacturing district in the world. One great reason for the development of these cities and this territory has been tho possibility of easy water communication; moiro traffic (passes! through thc Sault Ste. Marie' Canal than through any carnal in the world; the port of Chicago had a greater tonnage last year than (the port of New .York; and Cleveland is the biggest shipbuilding place in the .world next to the Clyde. All products of this manufacturing district, and all thc native products of the North-west and lake region, including ores, lumber., and grain, if they are to go eastward, either to the Atlantic coast or to Europe, have to be placed upon the railroad at some point west of Buffalo, for there water transportation practically ends. The result of this* has (been the building up of such railroads as the Now York Central and tho Pennsylvania. How many tons of freight are carried by the railroads; out of this whole region to the Atlantic seaboard, and to Europe is impossible to -figure, but it runs; up into the hundreds of millions. If, however, the great lakes continued eastward from Buffalo, so that large steamers could go'through to the Atlantic ocean, a very large portion of this enormous tonnage would be carried by* them. This would be necessarily so, because steamers give lower freights than railroads, and are ptreferred by most shippers:, except for goods which require great rapidity, of transportation, and a through shipment would a'voiid the necessity which exists to-day, with a large part of this enormous tonnage, of first shipping on a steamer and then on to tho railroad. This breaking of bulk is expensive and takes'" time. NEW LINE FROM CHICAGO. ���������These acre some of tlhe reasons" why a deep waterway from the great Jakes to the Atlantic ocean is getting yeatrly to be a greater and greater necessity. Meanwhile there is a makeshift, which consists of the Welland Canal and the St. Lawrence River canals, which enables Steamers drawing fourteen feet of water to got through to the ocean. Considering the enormous tonnage which could bo moved, and would be moved, from the lake ports to the Atlantic seaboard and to Europe by a deep waterway, the (meager amounts of tonnage that coine through the Welland Canal show what a makeshift it is*. Fourteen feet of water allows vessels carrying about three thousand ton3, and the modern freighter carries from seven 'to ten thousand tons. Still, unsatisfactory in s'omo ways as this,' route is, it hasl led to tho establishment of the North-western Steamship Company, which ' will run its steamers direct from Chicago to Europe. It owns four new steamers', which are being constructed by the Chicago Shipbuilding Company, and their first voyage will bo mado in April and May oi this year. Illustrating the advantages of a deep waterway from Buffalo eastward, it can ibo said ifchat .the amount of freight already offered to the ships osf th'ils. line from Chicago alone exceeds its capacity by many times". Fuirtlher reason lies in the fact that experience shows that all cities: lying along a well-defined transportation tr.onto are built up by it and derive great benefits therefrom. If there was a deep waterway to the Atlantic coast, the ships' passing up and doiwn would have to stop! at Quebec and Montreal, and the commerce, transportation, and wealth of these ttwo. cities would be greatly increased. In addition, tne amount of tolls a*""*"*" ���������a******* which would be derirved from the enormous amount of freight that would go by this route would pay interest on the amount of money necessary to construct it. KEEP THE ROUTE OPEN. Of course, this is" looking into the future, and meanwhile, it is the duty of those in authority, and of the (Department of Railways and Canals, to see that the existing waterways;; through which the ships of the Northwestern Steamship Company will ply, are kept free from obstruction and of their advertised depth of fourteen feet. 'If this line is a success, it .will mean, though in a reduced measure, all the benefits which would come from a deep waterway, and as these benefits are defined, not visionary, everything that tends to make this line a success! should be done. Of course, if- the canals or the reaches* of tho St. Lawrence are not kept clear from obstruction and tho vessels of tho North-western Steamship Company should bo injured or meet with other difficulties, it would do this line such an injury as it might never recover from. On the one side, the insurance companies would at once raise their rates, now very high, which would seriously eat into tho profits of the line, and, on the other, shippers would become alarmed. Thus; it might happen that .this line would havo to be abandoned, and thc consequent benefits in the shape of canal tolls, and indirect benefits to Quebec and Montreal, entirely lost. Besides, s'uch an event would tend to indefinitely postpone the creation of aj deeper and more satisfactory route and transportation from tho great lakes to the ocean than now exists1, and such a route would do more for Canada than any (possible single thing could do. Now, meanwhile, let the existing route be made as s'atisfac-* tory and kept in as good condition as possible. ��������� ���������-������������ IMPROVEMENT OF LONDON BRIDGE, London "bridge ia to be improved at a cost of $500,000.

From the returns of the mineral pro dilution of the province oi* British Columbia for the year 1900, submitted to the local legislature by the provincial Minister of Mines, on'March 5th. it is gathered that there was during the year an increase in the value of the output of the lode mines of the province of $3,310,- ���������42S. and a decrease in that of placer gold of $G(i,17(), leaving a net increase in metallic minerals for the year of $3,244,- 252. Tliere was also an increase of $1,013,238 in the value of coal and coke. No returns are yet available of the value of other valuable non-metallic minerals, so these cannot be taken into account.
