SALARY OF POLICEMEN, City Clerk McQueen Gives Officers a Mathamatical Problem. City ee McQueen has given the the Inland Empire shows a ing expansion. Would it not be a good idea to hold at Spokane during the fair a convention of the Press of the North- west? Tosuch. a gathering, the right hand of fellowship of our and of all citizens of the Northwest interested in the Siasernination of tention of the Le Roi mini to build their smelter outeide of the dis- trict and beyond the internation boun- dary, especially when the point selected is within seven miles of Canadian terri- tory. The situation might not admit of this sentiment so forcibly if conditions did not exist in Kootenay for economi- cal reduction of ores. ‘e have, how- ever, abundant proof that the product of our mines can be treated at many Points | in the distsict as satisfactorily as at Northport. I think you will agree with me when that our aim should be not only to tee ce ore but also to have such pro- Buetion smelted and refined locally, thus building up sn industry equal to that of mining, and beneficial alike to labor, capital and commercial interests. The plorious possibilities of Kootenay shoa'd not be thwarted and diminished ‘@ narrow-minded policy; nor should iiconsidered sectionalism in any way miti; inst the attainment of a pes hee that would resylt in the great- est t good to the greatest number. At the present time there are three smelters in Kootenay within an aggre- gate daily capaci ty of more than one thousand tong, all needin, copper and iron ores. The establishment within the district of reduction works such are contemplated by the Roi com- pan , would be additional competition 18 Tes} le the Le Roi mine would be the chief basis of supply for this smejter, ie is well known that th company would not and could not de- ad upon it solely. We have the posi- ive assurance of the management that the Le Roi smelter will do custom work ona large scale. Thus would a fourth smelter with a daily capacity of several hundred tons be added to the list of competing smeltersin Kootenay. If fhe Roi mining wealth a the “and Lemmpive would be tribute the growth and _ success of our work. Without their assistance no pub- lic undertaking can expect to to succeed. SAYS THE INDIANS DO ANTE. Man Who Claims to Be Qualified Writes on the Subject.

Ata late hour this afternoon Alder- man Jobnson had received no word from the Canadian Pacific railroad com- pany as to transportation for the min- eral exhibit of Rossland’s ores to the Toronto exhibition. Mining men in general are in favor of having a strictly Rossland as lay at and ee akty council and of the eame opin: y eng months of the year, The policeman after being given these facts went home in a thoughtful mood. All night he spent covering foolecap paper with figures and did not even hea: the baby squalling. The next morning he rushed down to the city hall ands meeting City Clerk McQueean, ex- claim “T knew you did not pay me enough, | ¥ here—I have figured out the year’s average.” McQueen looked at the figures and with a pitying smile returned: ‘You forgot te to figure in February as a short month. The policeman staggered against a desk and Sropped intoachair. Finally when he could get his mental machinery to working he said sarcastically : “I suppose you haven’t forgot to figure in ¥ e extra days for leap year?” “No,” was the unexpected answer “I have figured in the leap yea~s, on po average for 10 years to com", whi think will cover the present term.” The astonished officer garped for breath and made a break for tu. doar. Such fine figuring as that, was too much for him. eis now telling his troubles to citizens. THE NASHVILLE STUDENTS. Not since the Columbia Opera com- pany, has there been such a crowd in the opera house as greeted the Nash- ville Jubilee singers last evening, Every seat was taken. The old darky melodies, wierd and moaning at one time to the verge of tears and then jolly and rollicking enough to convulse the audiance with laughter, formed an entertainment which everyone would pay to see. So often were the members encored that it was late at night before the curtain drop; Although there was just a touch of classical music—enougn to show that the members were brilliant performers —the plantation songs as they are sang by the lowly darkies in the South. say de dummies and called attention to his lelying anyone to observe the least mo- tio of tes while he was throwing his which had 31 |" “The vantroliquist, performed without | % istrate Jordan thie morning charged wae being drunk.
