PEOPLE COMING AND GOING.

he went to spend the holidays with rel-
atives, - He reports having hada splen-
did--time, and saya business is good
down on the coast. - ~

Wm. Wallace, of the Star, has gone to
the east on business connections: with
his paper. 5

D. C. McKenzie, left Jast night for the
east on a visit of a fortnight... .

John R. Revis, of the proposed Re-
public Miner, is in the city doing a
little quiet business for his paper.

W.'D. McDonald and’ wife returned
last night from Spokane, where they
went to spend the holidays with friends.
Mr. McDonald reports Spokane as very
lively in'a mining business way. . New
companies are’ being floated, and the
Republic country will see much new de-
velopment this coming year. :

J. B, Coombs has returned from Spo-
kane, where he'went on a business trip.

G.-C. Hinton, of the Royal Electric
company, is in the city on i

ta hold the of being fair,
they will undo what they have done and
leave their members ‘free to choose - be-
tween the twe candidates. The saloon
men stand in about the same position aa
the labor organizations. They endorsed
Mr. Wallace before Mr. Thompson an-
nounced his withdrawal in favor of Mr.
Goodeve. : Their orgagjzation is wofully
divided at present, * of-the mem-

port Wallace. _ a

It is thought that immediately. after
the organization of the campaign com-
mittees for the two candidates for mayor~
that at least three candidates for alder-
men will be selected, who will be friend-
ly with the head of the ticket. Bo far
there hay been no attempt to class ‘the
men spoken of for the council-as run-
ning on either ticket. :

Aldermen Clate and Lalonde have not
made any announcement . different from
the one that they would not be candi-
dates for re-election.

{t is not thought that Ross Thompson
will be a candidate for re-election. Al-
derman Barrett is reported as willing to
stand for re-election. Alderman Ed-
gren says he does not know yet.. It is
thougit he would not be adverse to be-
ing « candidate if be was sure he could
be re-elected. ‘

. Those who claim to know say that the
Victuallers Association and the labor

The company he represents has put in
numerous plants in this district, the
Iron Mask’s being the last one. Mr.
Hinton is an affable gentleman and un-
derstands,his business. © .

ing to incet hia wife, who has been east

Stack, of Stack & McDonnell, for the
council,

Dr. Reddick and J. F. McCrae are aup-
posed to be in the field for aldermanic
honors. F

The name of Dr. J. F. McKinzie’s
name has been favorably mentioned in
connection with the city council. He has
considerable property in the city, and
would make an excellent city father. If
he would consent to the use ofhis name,
he would probably meet with no oppo-
sitiun. ] «

Dr. Sinclair is running down the-ru-
mor that Dominion politics was being
introduced in the coming city election.
He claims thac it has been announced
that the Conservative organization
would attempt to capture the city gov-
ernments throughout the provincé, and
ashe ia a liberal he seriously objects.

Mr. Goodeve, who is'a Conservative,
says there is. no ssible foundation for
the rumor, so faras he ix concerned.
‘That many of his strongest friends and
supporters are Liberals. He emphatic-
ally denies that there is any Dominion
or Provincial politica in the coming city
election.
