People will remember, with ashudder, the horrible accident on the line of the Spokane Falls & Northern railroad nearly two weeks ago when six poor fellows in a moment were hurled into eternity with scarcely a moment of warn- ing to meet their final judge. While the writer was in Rossland it was a sad scene to witness the three caskets con- taining the crushed and mangled re- mains of as many victims, borne by strong hands, but sad and regretful hearts, to their last resting place. Two of the dead men lay there buried be- neath the dirt which had crushed them. Efforts were then made to haye the offi- cials of the Spokane Falls. & Northern lo something to recover the bodies and ive them, as the other four, a Christian urial. Humanity would even appeal that much, From latest accounts the efforts and appeals of the public remain unheeded and two human beings lie there as would some despised animal through the corporate greed and rapa- city of ihis unpopular corporation. Speaking of this matter, the Recorp of Rossland savs; “Perhaps Corbin or his railroad can better afford the shame and disgrace which is attributable to the railroad Joseph Murphy Battles for Life While Clinging to a Rock in the Columbia. Rescue Party’s Thrilling Experi- ence In Saving the’ Drown- ing Man Near Trail. Trail, May 18.—[Special to the Rec- ogp.}—The steamer Lytton was engaged in life saving last night. Joe Murray was rescued after he had been for more than five hours clinging to a rock in the dangerous rapids just about where Mur- phy crecks empties into the Columbia. At 9:30 last night a workman em- ployed by Winters, Parsons & Boomer, contractors constructing the Rubson ‘branch of the C. & W. Ry., brought than the expr o the bodies of the victims of the: ava- lanche, but the fair name of the prov- ince, the city or the people cannot much longer remain stainless, and no effort be ut furth to recover the bodies of John Ronlan and Robert McWanney, who met an untimely death upon British Columbia soil. “What is to be done? Will we all stand idly by and allow these dead men to remain, and only under a few feet of dirt, within our very dooryard? “Both de men seem to be strangers in e.strange land, and as they have no relatives in these parts it is so much the more a reagon that the hand of humanity should be raised in their behalf. Hav- ing no relatives here or immediate friends it will become the duty of some one to move in the matter.” In a scathing editorial in the same number the Recozp denounces as ‘* burning shame” the management, in ROSSLAND, | BRUG.

Devitt that three men were coming down the river on a raft when they were wrecked on 8 reef, about six miles up the river. That while two of them went down one was still clinging to the rocks. Captain Devitt instructed him to return immediately and make a beacon fire, and set about to save the man’s life. He went first to the Trail; but she had 40 tons of ore aboard, and would have to line up, which would consume two hours. The officers and crew, however offered” to take row- boats and go to the rescue, but this would have been a most difficult trip to make so he went to the home of Captain Short, of the Lytton, and called him from .

W. L. ORDE’S VIEWS. Saye the Stock Exchange Should Take Interest in the New Smelter. “If members of the stock exchange, instead of grumbling about dull busi- ness, would testir themselves towards forming the exchange into a public spirited body that would grasp hold of questions of interest to the town and deal with them accordingly in a busi- ness-like way, then there would be plenty to do and no chance for grumb- ling,” said W. L. Orde, in speaking of the matter this morning. “Thére are many questions of vital importance,” he continued, ‘‘that the exchange could interest itself in with credit to itself and profit to the city. | It should be to this city what a chamber of commerce is to the larger cities.

The school board and city council have a knotty problem to settle in the schoul house question. ‘The government has given $4,000 for a schoolhouse for Ross- land, and secured a deed for five lots oom the Nelson and Fort Sheppard road company, on the Paris Belle ground, and on the Zenith, too, which is understood by the recent decision of the supreme court, tojbe won absolutely by the Paris Belle people. ° It may be all right for the government to spend §4,000 upon a schoulhouse on land with a disputed title, or no but the property of the city joining in the questionable procedure is quite an- other thing. ‘The land deeded to the government hy the railroad is 140x182 fect, in block 21, railroad addition, within a few feet of the railroad “Y.”” The school board consisting of C. 0. by facts and figures thatrom an eco- nomical point no better place could be found than Rossland. “Few people realize the full extent of the advantages to be derived from build- inga smelter here just at this time. |¢ Business men who are now des; would brighten up, minin are selling below par woul ndent stocks that goup witha promptly and ordered the steam upon und, work thathas been delayed would be pushed with added vigor, and other things too numer- Lalonde, chairman, Samuel Forteith and H.

It is said the owners of the steamer line have become convinced that the little stretch of swift water can- not be gafely and practically navigated, and if the Great Northern will not build the proposed spur, they intend to put in a short tramway and transfer from onv steamer to another around the trouble- some piece of water. When this obstacle has been overcome, it is said there will remain nothing but easy navigation from the Great Northern to the Fort Steele country, 150 miles up the Koote- nav river. .
