on ap-

We are unable to see the undue ad-
vantage the Nelson Miner claims was
taken of the mine owners and their
‘friends in the provincial legislature in
the passage of the eight-hour law. The
objectionable clause was introduced in
the ordinary way and not objected to by
a single member. The government evi-

dently did it on purpose, and the oppo-| .

tition must bes lot of asses to set. by
and see it done if they did not like it.

The Proper Answer to Merriam.

General Merriam, in his ingolent at
tempt to crush the labor unions of Idaho
has collided with the state authoritics
of Montana as well as with the public

opinion of the country. The state offi-|.
cials of Idaho have apparently co: |:

operated with the general in all bis high
handed invasions of personal rights, but
since he has been sending his soldierr
acrosa the state line to make summary
arrests of miners there the governor of

has object Smith

declares that these arrests ‘muat atop at |*
once, and that the laws ofthe state muet | °

‘be ebserved even by the soldiera.

Second, In view of. the fact that cer-,
tain defects took place previous to the
preeent accident, we are of the opinion
that men -phould not have been per-
mitted to ride on the skips until. such
time that the machinery: was perfected
beyond a reasonable doubt. 4
Third. We. are aleo of the opinion
_that a daily report should be made by
the engineer in chief aa to. the working
‘order of the machinery, and that this
rulo should be atrictly enforced.
Fourth, We would slzo strongly
recommend that a ‘certified mechanical
and electrical engineer should: be ap-
Puinted to examine. all mining ma-
chinery in operation. :
Fifth. We would farthor recommend
that the government. should appoint
several mining inapectors, as in oer
opinion tho duties imposed upon the
Preeent one are greater than he can per-
form with eatiafaction, and it ie farther
recommended that a resident inepector
should be appointed at least for this
important mining section.

Rossland miners won firat money in
the drilling contest at Silvertop en the
24th, the champions being Mike Burns
and William Ross, who put in a hole 38
inches. Erne Stevenson and Jack Mor-
rison, another Rossland team, would
undoubtedly have taken at Teast second
money had it not been for the accident
of their steel breaking and sticking: in
the hole, As it was they made 382
inches. In their practice at home they
put down as deep a hole as won first
money. Messrs. Hanson and McDon-
ald of Sandon won second money with a
hole 36 inches. 7

Got His Money’s Worth.

You've heard the story of the man
who went to every service in the church,

it very much elated over his prospect

Sunday and week days, because his wife

insisted on his paying pew rent and be
was bound to get the worth of his mon-
ey. Well, there are just auch men in
the world. One of them came in from a
rural bailiwick the other day and drop-
ped into the leading billiard parlor of
the city.

“Any pigeon-hole table.’ he inquired
in the tone of a professional. .

“No,” answered the proprietor, “but
wo have good pool tables, and that’s the
next beat thing.’” S

“How muck a game?”

“Fifty cents au heur.’”

“Gosh! that’s steep; bat I guess I kin
keep even. Git everything ready and
then give the word. T'll just practice fur
an hour.”

‘Then there followed the liveliest ecene
ever witnessed in the plate. “The man
from the country worked as if he was
getting in hay with a thunder shower in
sight. He gave a boy a nickle to chalk
cues for him. He ran around the table,
made snap shots, and growled during
the brief intervals in which the balls
were being placed. Before his hour was
up he was without collar, necktie, coat
or vest, hia suspenders were thrown
down and he was perspiring like a lum-
ber shover in dog days. When the time
was up he threw himself into a chair,
fanned bimeelf with hia hat and said to
the boy who had done the chalking:

“Zonny, allus make it a point to get

the worth o’ your money. I’ve done’
‘bout four houra work in one, and all for
the same price, and I reckon’ I’m con-
siderable shoal. Ef you allus live up
to this role it'll be battér’n a college ed-
ucation to you.”—Detroit Free Press. |
