The secretary of the Russland Water & Light company says the city had the offer from them to sell the water ‘plant for. $45,000 -for three weeks before the ‘Recorp published the fact, andit did not come from the city council either.

The government has acted liberally with the miners of thie province by passing the eight-hour law and in-excluding Chinese and Japanese from the mines. Now :let every miner be a committee of one in seeing that a good fair day’s work is done in the eight hours and harmony will prevail.

It is the duty ofthe city council with- out further delay to submit the proposi- tions of buying and of putting in a water works syatem to be owned byfhe mu- nicipality. The waterworks company has offered in public print to sell its plunt. franchise, water rights and real estate for $45,000. ‘The council is in possession of the estimate ‘of the city engineer of the coat of putting in a new plant, so there seems to be nothing fur- ther to wait for before submitting both propositions to the ratepayers. like'there could be no excusefor it mak- ing the grosa errors that it does.

A. Kirk, a provincial surveyor. Both are con- servatives, and it looka as if party lines wereto be brought into thefight. In that case, when the fight is commenced in Nelson, the Corbin forces wil} have a walkover, for the tory leaders are all 80 poor intrying to keep the Miner afloat that they have not enough money left tu pay their annual memtership fees to the ‘board of trade, or to join if they are not already members.—Neleon Tribune. “Spider and Fly.” Manager Hayward of the Spokane Auditorium sends word White of the Rossland Opera.
