NEARLY A COSTLY ERROR.

If the Recorp had not nipped in
the bud the moment to block legis-
lation on the incorporotion of Ross-
land Dill until certain changes were
made in it that affected private not
public interests there would cer-
tainly have been strong opposition
to its passage and consequent delay.

As it was, Helmcken put his foot
on the bill on the floor of the legis-
lature the firat opportunity he had.
Standing up in his place with a
copy of the Miner, that contained
the first—and fortunately the last
—blow to the bill, in his hand he
asked ifthe government proposed
to bring in a bill for the incorpor-
ation of Rossland and cther towns,
and ifso, what was the reason for it.

Attorney General Eberta made a
clear and satisfe 'y in

yp reside upon the same, and
as the population increases even a
greater proportion of the residents
will be found upon thesé lands.

2. For some time past the respect-
ive rights of the railway company atid
the Paris Belle Gold Mining com-
pany have been in litigation and it
would appear that a considerable
time must elapse before a final de-
cision as to the ownership of the land
is reached, as its value is such that
neither party to the litigation is
likely to withdraw itsclaim until the
decision of the highest court is
given.

8 The railway company has re-
cently, issued some 15 or more writs
against. occupants residing on the
lands claimed by the Paris Belle cum-
pany and by the said Dundee for the
purpose of getting possession of the
jand resided upon by these occupants.
A great many of the occupants are
ious and willing to buy the lands

reply, urging the necessity for im-
mediate provision for sewerage aid
the necessary fire apparatus.

Semlin, the leader of the opposi-
tion, also showed his willingness to
oppose the bill, on the assumption
that its provisions did not meet
with the approval of the people of
Rossland.

The government, however, have
not @ in their d
to push the passage of the bill as a
government measure.

The reply of Lieutenant-Govern-
or McIntosh to the petitioners who
offered to support his candidat

upon which they reside and others
who are unable to buy, are perfectly

This office and the citizens of

section of the vountry which are
difficult to answer by letter, so
the REcorp gives the following in-

ajlong way towards repairing the
mischief that has been done. No
doubt all the members of the
government are well aware by this
time of the fact that Mr. McIntosh

But the agreement isso worded that
the railway company will be entitled

Jowing is the text ofthe petition

which was handed in to the Recorp

last evening too late for publication
yeaterday :

To the Speaker and Members of the
Legislative Assembly of the Prov-
ince of British Columbia in Seassion
Assembled:

The petition of the d
residents of Rossland, in the district
of West Kootenay, in the province of
British Columbia, humbly sheweth:

1. The present population of Ross-
land is estimated to be not less than
7,000 and is being rapidly augmented.
Conservative estimates predict that
the pepulation before the end of the
present year will not be less than 20,-
000. Allthe land resided upon in
Rossl: except the 1 town-
site, known as lot 535, group 1, West
Kootenay, is claimed by the Nelson
& Fort Sheppard Railway company,
undor crown grant, but the right of
the said railway company to the lands
situated eust, north and west of the
original townsite is disputed by other
claimants. In one case by the Paris
Belle Gold Mining company, which
asserts that, its mineral claim is ex-

cepted out of the said crown grant,

and at the present time the said
mineral claim is built upon and oc-
cupied by a large number of the resi-
dents of Rossland. Some 320 acres
lying north and northwest of the

full pay as af d and the sur-
render of the duplicate agreement.”
4, On account of the uncertainty
of title, residents on the said disputed
lands are afraid to build decent
houses and have erected in place
thereof emall cabins and shacks and
the growth of the city is greatly re
tarded and its appearance much de-
tracted thereby.

5. The said Dundee, it is under-
stood, will very shortly begin a suit or
action in assertion of his title to the
land covered by his pre-emption;
meanwhile the actions brought
against the occupunts of said pre-emp-
tion by the railway company are be-
ing yy said ts. It
would appear. fa likely that one or
two years may elapse before the
courts of highest resort may finally
decide as to the ownership of the
lands in dispute; the value of the dis-
puted land being estimated from a
half million to one million dollare,

6. In the event of the occupants of
this disputed land failing to carry on
their law suits and a large number of
additional writs be issued and judg-
ment obtained thereupon, there will

from 6,000
to 7,500.

Board and lodging at. the ho-
tels, $2 to.$8.per day. Meals 25
to 50.cents. Furnished rooms,
“$8.50 to $7 per week.

It is useless to write and ask
if any particular business would
pay here. Business men are fall-
ing over each other to establish
nearly every kind of enterprise,
and all’seem to be doing well.
Everybody must -be his’ own
judge and take his own chances.

While there is not work for all
who inquire,:most sober, indus-
trious persons who really wish to
work have so far, been able to
obtain it.
