New Denyer Wants Our Fire Team’ om the Queen’s Birthday. A. E. Fauquier, a merchant of New Denver, is here on busiInees with the championShose term of the Kootenays, trying to induce them to go to New Den- yer for the purpose of competing for the purse to be hung up in the hub and bub race at the Queen’s birthday celebration. The Nelgon team has decided to go to New Denver and the peopl: of that city are detormined if possible to have the Kuotenoy bovs meet them there. Assialant Chief Allen of our fire de- partment has a number. of communica- tions from New Denver and Kaslo, hold- ing ont inducements to the Rossland team and at preeent the Knslo celebra- tion committee hag made the best offer. They offer $100 ay (rst prize for hub and hub race and $100 as firat moncy for the wet teat. Mr. Fauquier says if it is only a question of money New Denver will nave the Rossland team. ~ Of course the purge is 2 consideration, but the Rossland team is anxious to meet the Nelaon team, and as it is going to New Denver our boys would like to go there too, This is Mr. Fauquier’s firet visit to Rossland and he.expresses him- self as very much surprised at the eize with the existing company. must adit that I for one (and be- ): | lieve there are others) do nof fally grasp J the situation, as the’ information fur- nished by the city council sedus to be of a/most exparte character. ‘As I understand it, the city is deter- mined to own and operate a water eys tem, with two primary objects in view, viz: : To reduce the present'rates and tc provide an adequate system, not for present needs alone, but for atown of some 20,000 people, for which the rate- payera are to be asked to. of $160,000. 5 1 ‘The motives are praiseworthy, but the sum asked for to sccomplish same will not meet the approvalof the ratepayere, cordi: mati are Allwe mee ask is: er and trust to their dealers. table house.

Letus apply this to the proposed Rock Creek diversion by the city:—We find that the C. P.

Two Americans were killed and seven wounded. The indicating are that the rebels are making preparations fora last stand, which the Americans expected them to make at Malolos. For the first time the Filipinos are employing artillery. They brought two guns into action in the trenches before Calumpit, firing modern shrapnel, which burst over the heads of General Wheaton’a men without effect. Fighting was resumed at 6 o’clock this morning. During the night the Ameri-~ can engineers repaired the Bagbag river bridge, thus enpbling the American troops to cross the river. General Wheaton’s brigade advanced in extend- ed order, with the Kansas regiment to the west of the railroad and the Mon- tana regiment to the east of it, and took up positions covering one anda half miles‘on the south bank of the Rio Grande.
