THE DEBENTURE BYLAW.

The ratepayers of Rossland wil!
be'called upon tomorrow to vote
upon a bylaw authorizing the city
council to isstie debentures to. the
amount of $25,000. The proceeds
of the sale of these debentures are
to be disbursed as follows: S6000
for the purchase of a site fora fire
hall and public library; $15,000
for the erection of a two-story brick
fire hall and one-story public li-
brary adjoining; $4000 for the pur-
chase of additional fire apparatus
and the extension of the fire alarm
system throughout the city,

These improvements are essential
to the thorough of the

residence distritts as. the businers
district already enjoys,

These improvements are essential
to the safety of the city and will
constitute a strong argument for re-
lief from the exorbitant insurance
rates with which business men are

dary district. In Mr. Marun’s case
this is not at all surprising, but the
public would have expected better
things of Mr. Curtis.”

‘lof the fire service, combined with

that of the water system which has

convincing argument to advance in
favor ofa reduction in insurance
rates atthe May meeting” of the
board of underwriters. If those
gentlemen will listen to reason. and
the case of the city is presented by
a strong committee appearing in
person, such’a reduction ought to

~ WORKING THE PRESS.

_ Martin is systematically work-
ing the Eastern papers by means of
special dispatches from.a news -bu-
reau' in Victoria’ and Vancouver.
The latest story, printed in the To-
ronto World, is that the Provincial
party is:to be merged into the Con-
servative party. _ The’ same dis-
patch says:

“tAdvices from the upper country
this morning show _unmistakably
that the tide is turning strongly in
favor of the government.”

It claims that Martin won over a
hostile meeting at Ashcroft and
continues: — -

“The truth is that the govern-

ment party is making a triumphant
tour of the inland constituencies.

Not a single meeting at_ which they
have spoken has been left without
scores of supporters gained to the
side of the government. © Accus-

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Canadians won fresh praise
at Israel’s Poort and must be step-
ping high.

If thé candidates in the little con-
stituencies on the island continue-to
multiply, there will be no free and
independent electors left off the

city for combating fire. The pro-
posed site is in such a location that
the fire brigade, in order to reach
the business districts where the
buildings are most. dense and valu-
able, would have a down-hill pull,
and at the same time is central.
The plans for the building provide
every facility for housing men,
horses and apparatus and for turn-
ing out promptly in response to a
fire alarm. It is proposed to make
the building of brick, because it is
desirable that the city should make
this a per nota ‘Ys

ion.lists.- Then they will
have to make a sweepstakes of it.

Strange that Dullman, after toy-
ing with dynamite, should have
rabies at. the sight of an “innocent
little camera. ;

” It has been suggested that Pre-
miér Martin should have the letter
he received from Mr. Laurier half-
soled, otherwise it will be worn out
before he “completes his‘ campaign
tour. This letter has been very |
much in evidence at Mr. Martin’s

improvement, and that, ata time
when the council is about to estab-
lish fire limits, the city should set
an example by building of brick.
The site lends itself to the erection
of a public library building in con-
nection with the fire hall and it is
really economy to erect both at the
same time. The need of a public
library is generally admitted, es-
pecially as the‘city has reached a
stage in its growth where means of
r ‘ion and self-imp can
be provided and as there has been
a deficiency in this respect hitherto.
"The new fire apparatus will con-
sist of a hose cart, a more modern
hook and ladder truck to be substi-
tuted for the one now in service,
and 1000 feet of hose. With this
equipment, the fire brigade, which
will compare favorably with any on
the coast in point of skill and effi-
ciency, will be able to cope with

_ two fires at different points at the
. same time and can reach to the top

of the highest building -in th city.
The extension of the fire alarm sys-

tem throughout the city will give-

the same security to the outlying

‘ings, and according to his own
interpretation: of it Sir Wilfrid Lau-
tier and he are bosom friends.—
Nelson Economist.

The Fenian invasion of Canada
has fizzled down to three men armed
with sticks of dynamite. The in-
vading army has found its Paarde-
berg. -

‘When it comes to dodging an is-
sue, the sultan is an expert, but he
has met the champion bill collector
in your Uncle Samuel.

Martin and Curtis are trying to
fool the people of the Boundary
country with the hope that the
projected. Kettle valley “tramway
will connect with a road across the
boundary line, but the Province
says: ‘‘Both Mr. Curtis and Mr.
Martin must be well aware that
international railway traffic can only
be carried on- under a Dominion
charter, and that there is no chance
of evading the law on this subject
by any such scheme as that outlined
above. Clearly they are intent on
