Alexander Miller said it seemed that these provisional directors were abso'utely elected until, August 3, while on the previous evening they were given tu understand that the elections were provisional to Satur- day’s meeting.

D. D. Birks thought the law said the trustees may continue in office for three monthe; August 3 would be more than that period. But he be- lieved that any time within that period, by giving two weeks’ notice, an election could be held.

Mr. Langley also argued that the election of officers might take place two weeks aft-r incorporation and Mr, Kennedy said that he could not ans- wer for the trustees not present, but

TRIED COLONEL SCOTT'S METTLE

Called to Account for Change of Incorporation Bill.

DEFENDS HIMSELF ABLY

Sharp Di at the Lalond Meeting Last Night.

At the ing of Lalonde’s sup-

D. B. Bogle asserted that every step taken by Culonel Scott iv behalf of incorporation had been done with the deliberate intention be- coming Rossland’s firat mayor.

E. Hewitt said he did not want to see Rossland.go to seed and that so far as the objections to advertising the city were concerned they had already been woll answered but he asserted that $50,000 was inadequate for the needs of the city.

Albert Dutton, a representutive workman, made a strong speech in support of Colonel Scott. He said with reference to one of the candi- dates for alderman: ‘‘For pure un-

portera at Dominion hall laat night Dr. Edward Bowes was chairman. At the opening of the discuasion he asked for British fair play to all, and proceeded to carry out the program arranged by the Lalonde committee; that is, to call alternately upon “a Lalonde and Scott speaker. Dr. Bowes was an impartial chairman, and the immenge audience was atten- tive and ,oodnatured throughout the meeting.

C. O. Lalonde, in his opening ad- dress, reviewed his services as alder- man in the city council of Port Arthur and said that hard times in that city forced him to seek. other fields for the operation of his business. He reiter- ated his objection to the reduction in the number of aldermen provided for Rossland, He said that during the year a great number of foreign people would visit Rossland and they would have to be entertained. He said the French government has already sent representatives to investigate the mining prospects of this camp, and he predicted thatin a short period Old France will make investments here. He thought that if Rossland had a mayor who could speak their language it would not do the camp any injury.

sry’ Cortain newapapers-of -Quebso had |”

run down this camp, and as he was a French-Canadian he thought it ‘well to refer to this. These newspaper ar- ticles had led the French government to send out and i i this camp.

dul i gall this man Reddin ex- ceeds anything I have ever known. I saw by the Recorp that he ssid any man who disputed the title of the Nel- son & Fort Sheppard railway to the squatters land was a foolor a knave, and this same man appeared here last night and aeked the fools and knaves to vote for him.” (Cries of we'll leave bim at home).

Smith Curtis dealt with the ques- tion of finance and advocated econ- omy.

Dr. Sinclair in his address said that his only objection to Colonel Scott was that he allowed the incorporation bill to become mutilated in the com- mittee of the whole and did not stay at the capital to see it passed.

In Colonel Scott’s closing address he tripped Dr. Sinclair up on this

Trail, March 26.—[(Special to the Recorp.]—Yesterday afternoon a very serious accident happened at the log- ging camp of the B. C. Refining & Smelting company at Waterloo. While the men were working to start a jam at the runway it suddenly gave way with three men below it. Albert McCarter, a :afteman, was caught and two logs 56 feet long and two feet thick rclled over him. He sustained a very serious if not fatal in- jury.

His right shoulder was badly crushed and several ribs broken, causing great injury to his lungs.

H. G. Harner who is connectel with the company’s store, brought Mr. McCarter in a row boat to Trail last night and placed him in the hospital. H. Pasco, who was .alro

Colonel Scott spoke next. He made a cheerful address and after reviewing his relations as an employer at Galt he said that while in the east wages did not exceed $1.25 a day, here $3.50 was the pay for workingmen. He was glad of it and hoped he would not be here when this is a cheap camp. (Cheers.) As to the saloon licensing question, he was jerfectly satisfied with things as they are, but he said he wes opposed to box rustling iu auy manner, shape or form. He referred to the entertainments at the Interna- tional as worthy of encouragement, and with the exception of drinking and smoking indulged in was a con- ‘cert that any lady could attend. He

Many of the Business Men Not Regis- tered Yet.

The total number of votes regis- tered at the closing of the books to- night will probably reach 700. Over 600 names were plsced on th- list ut the closing of the returning officer’s office last night. A great many of the trades people of the city have not registered and a considerable number are waiting so that they may con

A better or more energetic man could not have been chosen. J. F.

J. DeVoin, whe has been euffering for geome time with a disease resem- bling cancer of the stomach, but whose case has puzzled his physicians, was taken to the Sisters’ hospital to- day and an operation performed upon him. His ailment was not definitely diagnosed, but the surgeons believe that the operation will greatly relieve his sufferings. Dr. Essig, of Spokane, was called up lo assist in the opera- tion by Dr. Armstrong. Dr. Kenning was also present at the time, and Dr. Bowes, who was also requested to be present, was not able tu du so. It is thought that Mr. DeVoin will not suf- fer any serious effects from the
