rates would apply to this section, the
interests of the people there would be
amply protected.

Mr. Maclean: Then the 10 {per cent
class no longer exists?

Mr. Shaughnessy pointed again to the
clause, and said it did not bear that
interpretation. Continuing he said he
did not like the idea of an American
railway dipping in and out of our ewn
country just as it pleased to acquire Ca-
nadian trade,

Mr. Foster said his postion on this
bill would depend upon Mr. Shaugh-
nessy’s straightforward answer to two
questions. The life blood of that portion
of Canada depended on that country
getting railway communication this
year, What guarantee would the C.P.R.
give ifMr. Corbin were shut out, that
they would prosecute the road aa vigo-

rously as Mr. Shaughnessy had indica-
ted, and was it the intention to ask for

a subsidy?

Mr. L, B, Hamlin Dead.
Mr. Piche left Dawson on February

16. He says that the story of the 9000
nugget is # fabrication of men with a
claim to sell. He brings news of the
death of Mr. L. B. Hamlin, the engi-

neer sent by the Britieh Columbia gov-
ernment to report on the navigability of
the Hootalinqua river. Mr. Hanlin,
who is considerably over mxty years of
age, after completing his work, wenton
to Dawson to winter there rather than
attempt the journey out to the coaat.
His report was forwarded from Dawson
and published only this week.

It seems that he joined in the stam-
pede from Dawson to newly reported
placer grounds, but was not in a condi-
tion to stand the exposure and with »

companion was found frozen and uncon-
scious on the trail. They were brought
to the hospital at Dawson but. succumbed
without regaining consciousness.—Van-

The Palace rink is the largest in the
Kootenays, being 50 feet by 160 feet.. It
had a truss roof and was considered pere
fectly safe. There has been much heave

‘The only part of the building left
standing is the end walland the dress-

Messrs.“ Hampton & Drever, the pro- :
prietors, erected the structure early last
fallat a cost of $600. They have not
made up their minds yet whether they
will reconstruct the building this winter
or not, but it is hardly likely that they
will aa the season is about over.
