THE FIRE STOPPED IT.
No Meeting of the Council) was Held 1
the New Hall Last Night,

There was no meeting of the city
council last night. Just before
meeting time there was a quorum
present but the gong in the offices
which strikes at the same time as
that in the fire hall, gave the alarm
for the fire on Nickle Plate flat, and
there was a rush from the building
at dhce to the scene of the fire.

. Afterwards Alderman Hooson came
back with City Clerk McQueen,
waited for some time, and then left.
Mayor Goodeve and Alderman La-
londe came back later but no one
else. Most of the. members had
been busy helping to save the city
from destruction by fire and were
tired out.

As soon as the chemical had taken
all the hose it could carry to the
scene of the fire, she was sent back
to the fire hall under the charge of
volunteer firemen Jack Watson and
Ed. Willis, and there remained
ready for immediate service down
town with sufficient hose on to at-
tack an incipient blaze.

Charles Burton, of the Interna-

Mr. H. E, Macdonnell, of the

today ahout the proposed street car

adian Pacific had iin it. He said
that while Mr. Peters was one. of
the promoters, the Canadian Paci-
fic company had nothing whatever
to do with the scheme. Captain
Duncan and Mr. W. A. Macdonald,
who were applying for the charter,
had back of them a company that
was operating over forty systems of

was not an adjunct of the Canadian

Decent Place Where Men can Meet
Some of the practical philantro-

a movement to erect a building at
the corner of Spokane street and
Second avenue to be used asa li-
brary and club during the winter
months, It is intended eventually
to turn the structure into a public
library and reading rooms so soon
as the funds can be obtained, but
at present to make it a resort for
men who have no other place than
a saloon in which to spend their
time. It will, if started, be run on
the same lines as those that are
established and proved so _ success-
ful in other cities of much greater
magnitude than Rossland.
