the city would look af ter them Mayor Rose said a very serious disaster had taken place since the last council meeting, and lie had received a telegram from Frank which had been sent to tho president of the board of trade at Nelson, asking for assistance.

The front page of the first number of The Ozonogram was written by Lowery and McAdams; the other pages were not. Lowery and McAdams tell on the front page of the first number why they started the Ozonogram, and what they intend to do with it. Lowery shows gleams of humor in what he says. McAdams is wild and woolly and rabid in what he says. May Lowery’s gleams of humor increase, so that the eigh t pages of The Ozonogram j will bo to provincial journalism what a bright sunshiny day is to the people of Vancouver. May McAdams tone down his utterances, for few people give consideration to ravings that are both frothy and mad. There is room in British Columbia for a newspaper that is humorous and satirical; but the humor must bo of the kind that can bo read in the homes of the people who have homos, and the satire should expose the follies and tho weaknesses of tho men who hold liigli office or aspiro to Jiold high office. Tub Tribune hopes Lowery and McAdams will fill the bill with The Ozonogram, and if they do they will at tho same time fill their pockets with that which at times is very necessary to provide comfort to the aged and contentment to the wicked who hanker after poker .chips.GATHERED BY THE ROADSIDE.Mrs. J.
