Hartman, next door to the Bank pected the most expeditious instructions in this matter. The action of the govern- ment in passing the incor- poration bill speedily through the house, even to the suspending of the rules, gave the impression that not a day would be lost in setting the date for the election, If any one thing was pressed upon the as- tention of ‘the provineial Jegisla- ture it was this, that no delays were admissable.

Grad of the P, FINDLEY, L D 8S. have acted with com dab! promptness by wiring the govern- ment to change the date of election from the 22nd day of April to the 8rd day of the same month. The interests of the health and prop- erty of the citizens of Rossland are at stake and no one can tell what the loss of a day may mean. Cordett made the greaiest “blow” before the fight but it was not so effectual financially as Fitzsim- mon’s last blow. The spectacle of Jim Corbett, pugilist, in his weeping act while surrounded by his friends who sopped .Fitzsimmon’s. blood faom the ex-champion’s fists would make aatar vision for the kinnetiscope. “He sobbed as if his heart was broken,” the press dispatches say. Corbett knows who broke it. At whose instigation has the date of the election been delayed until the 22nd of April when the election might take place 19 days earlier If the city is wiped out by fire or struck with a pestilence due from the delay in securing fire pretec- tion or an adequate sewerage sys- tem. those who are respousible for the unexcusable delay in the elec- tion of the city officials will have ie givesthe ing in- formation for the benefit of all: Rossland is situated in British Columbia, eight miles from the Stussi block.
