self-defense and yet I trust you will do
us tho justice to publish our replies, at
Jeast until we shall have a fair opportun~
ity of presenting our side of the case. to
your readers. ease
Your charge, that the Spokane brokers
association ever took any action or evgn
iscussed or considered any. pragdsition
or measure looking fo she icine of two
prices for the same,stocka on’ the same
i ¥ false. ‘This inti

lely “from natural causes, conse-
‘quent upon rapid advances, leaving in
doubt the actual prices at which said
stocka might settle down, which price
‘could naturally not be foretold. Under
such circumstances sellers sre chary,
lest they sell to cheap, and buyers timid
Jeast they pay too much. Ona feverish
market where stocks advance or decline
25, 50, or even 100 per cent. ina day as
has recently been the case in some Re-
public stocks, it is silly, even babyish
for you orany Rossland broker to whine»
‘ecause under such circumstances Spo-
kane brokers refuse to make ‘an excep-
tion ol their cae and give firm buying
and selling orders on the same close or
even approximate quotations, as they
could and gladly would do on @ steady
market. .

Now, Mr. Editor, I desire to make a
direct charge against you and by your
own utterance prove the charge. You
have atwo-fold object in your attack, viz
first, to vent your spleen upon the Spo-
kane brokera for patron izing to Ross-
land Miner, and secondly to poison the
minds of your Canadian readers againat
Republic and other American districts.

In your issue of the 15th inst. you

say:

“The article in the Reconp yesterday
regarding the conduct of the Spokane
stock brokers attracted considerable at-
tention and met with undivided sppro-
val of the Rossland broders. It is
thought it will'create a panic in Spokane
and hoped that an expose of the meth-
ods of the brokers will cause them to dis-
continue having two prices vastly differ-
ent for the same stock.

“A Rossland broker, in discugeing the
sutject, said: "The Recor> ig entitled
to great credit for making the unfair
methods of the Spokane brokers public.
On account of the patronage our bro-
kers are giving the morning paper we
hada right to look for friendship in the
matter frem it, but it was not given. It
Jooks very much like the rumor 18 true
tbat that paper is getting 9 subsidy from
Spokane brokers to boom their stocks,
and Republic properties. That would
not be so bad if we were not shut out of
the deal. Rossland is to good a market
to be thrown away by Spokane brokers,

HIS ARM WAS, BROKEN.

Aged Twelve,
fortunate Lad.

This morning while the boys were
sliding down a’short, steep hill, Harry
Coffin, a lad 12 years of age, met with
the misfortue of having his left arm bro-
ken just abovethe wrist. Dr. Reddick
was called and dressed the arm at the
school house.

The little fellow was plucky, not cry-
ing or complaining at the time of the
accident or during the time the doctor
was treating his arm.

The boys at school are in the habit of
sliding or rolling and tumbling down
that little hill, all ina heap,and the
wonder is that some of them have not
gotten their necks broken before this.

Harry Coffin Was the Un-
