Senator George Turner received a
letter this morning from the private
secretary of Andrew Carnegie offer
ing $4,000 to the city for free
library. The letter was read and ex-
planned by Senator Turner at the
meeting Of the presidential reception
committee in the rooms of the cham
Der of commerce this morning.
The offer of Mr.. Carnegie had the
usual provisions that go with his
offer Of library building funds. Spo-
kane must furnish a site for the
building, and must appropriate $500
per year, 10 per cent of the amount
of the gift, as a maintenance fund,
the $500 year to be an obligation
in perpetuity on the city. The $4,000
is to be devoted exclusively for the
construction of the library building.
BY the conditions the Art league or
no outside society or organization is
to have it's quarters in the library
building.
The offer was received with en-
thusiasm by those present. For a
long time there has been a desire on
the part of many citizens to have
one of the Carnegie libraries, and the
offer SO unexpected came as great
surprise.
Senator Turner has quietly worked
for this purpose for a long time.
While in the east he called at the

VICTORIA, b. c., April 1.-The
provincial legislature will meet to-
morrow and promises to be a short
session.
Among the measures likely to occu-
py the attention of the legislature
Is that of amendments to the mining
laws of the province. The recent or
ganization of the Provincial Mining
association and the discussion which
was provoked at Its first meeting has
demonstrated that changes are neces-
sary in these laws.
Among the principal reforms advo-
Gated In these is that of a readjust-
ment of the present per cent tax
upon the gross outlay on the mine
and the question of allowing crown
grants for placer mineral claims.
Other lesser changes have been asked
for by the mining association.
The government announced it's
readiness to meet the wishes of the
mining interests, but has not yet
stated what it intends to do to REM
edy the troubles complained of.

The objection urged against such

would affect is that by entering into
an agreement they would be bound
to live up to 1t. even If the cost of

The hod carriers union will not

Col. SANDS is going around
lamenting about poor Fred Bright.
He is such q promising young man
with such n bright future, and
for him now to make the mistake
to allow himself to be associated
with any part of his party except
the Sands part, is just too bad.
Poor Fred's life in politics is blight
ed, forever. Great Mars If
Bank Receiver Sands had one
half the nobility, one-half the
character, one-half the virtue,
one-half the manhood, one-half
the brains or one-half the clear
conscience of Fred Bright, he
would not be in the low business
of grating" in politics, and he
would sleep better at night. Be-
cause noble Fred Bright would not
crawl on his abdomen, and kiss
the corn-beridden and gout-be-
crippled feet of Boss Sands, his
life and hopes are blasted forever
When the grub worms hold a con.
vention and refuse to work in the
forgotten carcas of such besmirch.
ed Bosses, Fred Bright will tower
up like giant among the noble
men of this world, with spotlsst
character and clear conscience
ready to do all and to dare all foi
right and for humanity.

will call the Republican primary

two chairmen and two secretaries
of the central committee. If Chair
man Ambrose calls the time and
place of holding a primary cleo
tion, the Sands faction will not
vote on that day for fear of ack-

If Chairman Frnzure calls the pri-

WE ARE at loss to know why
the present city council does not
take up the matter of street paving
and push it along. Now is the time
to get the preliminaries arranged !;
the bonds sold and the contracts
let so that the work may begin
early in the summer. We hear
the present council have rather
ceased action, and will wait for
the new council that will be elect
ed in April. That new council
will not take their seats until the
first Monday in May, and it will
perhaps be two or three meetings
before they get Strengthened out,
then June is on. 1t then takes 80
days to advertise for bids on bonds.
This with the advertising and let
ting of contracts will bring it to
August before the ground is brok-
en- and winter will see the work
incompleted. Now is the time to
arrange for the work. This eoun-
Gil has as much right to act as
any council. The improvement
is pending, and under the new
code, present council can pro-
ceed with pending improvements.
If every council each year would
wait for their successors to act on
matters, we would never get any
thing done.
