Few people that walk the streets of
Rossland who notice the orderliness of
the city realize whata hard time the pro-
vincial police had in ridding thecity of
the obnoxious gambling element. It
seems all the more strange
when it is known that but
two men, Officers Pyper and Henry,
succeeded in doing this.

When these two men were first sta-

games of chance were running wide

The Trail citizens will soon holda
public meeting to consider matters con-
nected with the pollution of their drink-
ing water by drainings from Rossland’s
sewers. G.A. Fraser and H. J. Ray-
mer, the committee appointed by Ross-
land to confer with the Trail officials,
told those gentlemen that Rossland
would meet them half way, if they
would help to defray the expenses of
building an iron sewer from Rossland to
the Columbia.

Both Mr. Fraser and Mr. Raymer were
very courteously received by the provin-
| cial health officer at Trail and Dr. Cor-
san. The visitors were told politely, but
firmly, that Rossland’s drainage system
was polluting the Trail drinking water
causing sickness and spreading disease,
and unless it ceased an injunction would
be served immediately. As an instance
they cited several cases of typhoid fever,
which they attributed to the condition

Her Craving for Morphine Relaxed Con-
siderably Last Night.

Loui Smith, the morphine fiend, was
‘much better today. She passed last
night in comparative ease and did not
need near so much drug as the night
before. She is very patient and the of-
ticers take a great interest in her case.
Loui says she contracted the habit by
being given morphine in a doctor’s pre-
scription. It has been estimated that
