A well attended meeting of citizens
was held in the Waterloo hotel !2:‘
night to discuss ways and means of ad-
ding te the equipment of the fire de-,
partment. Col. Topping presided,
and George Naden acted as secretary.
The department at present has only 450
feet of hose available. This is scarcely
sufficient to carry a line fer a single
block, and a fire being over a block
away frem the hydrant, it is impossible
to fight it successfully. ‘I'here are five
fire hydrants placed around town sv
that with sufficient hose ample protec-
tion can be given.

company in detail, Five hundred ad-
ditional feet of hose would be sufficient
for the present. The hose would cost
about 40 cents a foot laid down in
‘Trail, A suitable house with a drain-
ing tower could be put up at an esti-
mated eost of $75, $250, therefore,
was absolutely needed by the fire de-
partment at the present time.
The question was then raised as
to how the money could
be obtained. A ball was suggested
and met with some favor, but it was
decided for the present to see what
could be done by a popular subscrip-
tion. It was estimated that there were
100 citizens in the town who should
subscribe to the fund and placing each
one’s portion at $2.50 the amount
could be raised without difficulty. On
@ former occasion when the fire boys
pted to raise a jon to
sh the
large subscriptions of $10 ‘up were
asked for. The plan was not a glorious
success, but it was thought that by

| making the amount smaller and the

number of subscribers larger the
amount could be raised. The vacant
ground in the rear of the Crown
Point hotel beside Lee Davenport’s
office was suggested as a suitable
place for the fire house. Colonel Top-
ping, J. E. McCarthy, and M. Kaake
were named as a soliciting committee>

“Nothing’s tuo good for you when
you stop at the Arlington.” That’s
what trayeling men say and they
know. Furthermore, its pretty gen-
erally agreed that the Arlington is
the beat hotel in the Kootenays. Itis
maintained for the comfort of the
guests and the profit of the proprie-
tors, and the latter have shrewdly
Ggured out that the surest way to
make money is to look to it most
cazefully that their guests are pleased.
They have an ever watchful eye for
the little details that go to make a
first-class hoetlery, aud the standard
of the house is correspondingly high.
One doesn’t need to be a millionaire
to stop there, either.

A GREAT PLAY.

Mr. Potter of Texas Tonight at the
Dominion.

This play taken from A. C, Gun-
ther’s book is probably one of the
best known plays on the atage and in
the hands of the present company
willbe well produced. The Ameri-
can Girl company is the largest com-
pany that has visited Rossland and
probably before we have another of
its size and merit we will have enough
“fakes” to make the ‘‘theatre goers”
feel like appreciating a good com-
pany. -

The performance of Hazel Kirke
last night was an excellent one. A
fair audi wasin attend con-

point on’ Quartz creek named Dundee.

About 60 miners wo are engaged in
work in that vicinity signed the peti-
tion, Reports frum that section are
to the effect thit the mineds are
bin’s in attempting to  dic-
tate to them what the
name of the postoffice must be
and threatening to retard the pros-
perity of the camp if the postoffice is
not called Wild-Horse instead of Dun-
dee. A miner who came down from
Dundee last night eaid: ‘Corbin will
be notifying us to name our babies and
dogs after him next, I suppose.”

It is known that Corbin wrote a per-
sonal letter to a business man of that
place threatening that if the name
was not changed it would never be-
come atown. It is known also that
he has written other letters to people,
who are supposed to have some in-
fluence and who are under his thumb,
for the purpose of carrying his threat
into effect.

Al. Marsh Has Drivena Tunnel Nine

” Al. Marsh, who was in Vernon last
week from the headwaters of Kettle
river, says a correspondent, over ten
years ago began prospecting in that
section and found a gulch behind the
Monashee mountain which he made
up his mind contained gold. He at
once proceeded to tunnel for bed rock,
and since then, alcne and unaided,
miles from any human habitation,
has continued his work. He has now
a tunnel in over 900 feet, all accom-
plished by his own efforts and with
his own hands.. He has wheeled the
earth and gravel out in = wheel-
barrow and timbered up the tunnel as
he went ahead, cutting the logs on
the mountain side, rolling them down
to thecreek bottom, packing them on
his back to the dump and shaping
them with axe and saw into the ne-
