VERNON, B.O., MIDWAY'* XMAS THEE, For some time past quite a rij.pl* of excitement hud stirred tbo usually placid lives of Midway's feminine population, and this state of affairs was brought to a climax when on Olii'latiniis night the public were given admittance to Palmerston'ahall. Many even among the adults viewed then for the Hist time what was without itilit. a magnificent Christinas tree. The decorations of the hall, which were arranged In truly artistic style, und drew forth praise from all who be- held llieni, consisted of the niottos " Welcome to our Olitistmiu) Tree," "A Merry Christmas," "A Happy New Year," and "God Save tbe Queen," together with lings, the Onion Jack and Stars and Stripes entwined ou each side nf tbe principal Christ* tree,, combined with pictures, Chinese lanterns, evergreens, etc., ete,, whilst ilie tree itself (nr rather trees, for there were three of them raised upon a dins) were simply loaded with ail kinds and descriptions of articles, some of which wore very beautiful and delighted old and young aline. As to numbers, Santa Clans himself must have lieen astonished at beholding such a display of generosity, for upwards of three hundred presents passed through bis bands, two hours of his time being taken up distributing them. For a description of Santa Clans we bad butter turn to the little noes, for they only can give a true rendering of his appearance, which did not take place, until after the following address of welcome bad been delivered by Mr, Norris: " Ladies, Gentlemen, and Little Ones: "The motto that is at present, hidden from view, but which will soon be disclosed to vou, reads thus: "Welcome to our Christmas Tree," and it is with feelings of pleasure and pride I carry out the duty that has deputed to me, viz., on behalf of the ladies of Midway and vicinity to extend to you all a very hearty welcome to this the first entertainment of the kind ever held in your midst, nnd at the same time to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The primary object of this gathering, you will understand is to entertain the possessors of the beaming little faces that arc looking at uie with such fullness of expectancy, and therefore I trust that one and all will throw iiside reserve later in the evening und give a cheerful assistance., so Hint lbe enjoyment of to-night may ever he associated iu after years with the pleasant memories of childhood, For a fullness of enjoyment, however, it will he necessary Hint Santa Clans ahull iiinke his appearance here to-night, sn I beg of you oue and all to lend your mind to this one thought, and let your only prayer be that he, in his rapid flight on errands of mercy to the people of the earth, may deign to tarry with us, if only for a little while, to scatter good things among those who are so ready Iind willing lo gather them. But hark! what is that? do 1 hear the jingle of bells? is it possible our prayer is so soon to be answered ? but yes, it must lie so, for surely Santa Clans is now rapping at the window and I must leave to let him in. (Applause.) The curtain falls and Santa Clans stands revealed to view amid the Christmas Trees, and such u Santa Clans, with fur coat, cap and boots, currying in one hand a lantern, upon which was Inscribed strange greetings, in tbe other a long whip, and this was bis greeting: " Bisiuallah, lnsballah, Fallallab! Good evening little girls, good evening little boys, a Merry Christinas to all my Children I have come from the far north and rapid has been my journey, for 1 knew you were all anxiously awaiting me. Ureal use I have made of iny whip to (joule the four beautiful reindeer that drew me over the crystal snow.

Sherrett having kindly volunteered lofiirnish the music, I he floor was cleared and two hour were spent in dancing, which brought ton close one nf tlm pleasanlest gatherings ever brought togethi'i' in the country.

"Among other railway undertakings with which the legislature will have to deal thi, session is the Red Moiniiniij railway scheme, lu April, ISHti, it graiiledthis company, of which CT. Dupunt, P.. 11. J'cinliertoo, and D. ('. Corbin are the leading lights, a charter to build a lin. from a point on ihe International lioundary on the right fork of Sheep creek, up tbe said creek to Ited Mnuii- lain, tapping the Trail creek inine.-. Nothing has been done in Hie nny pi commencing operations and the chill* Ier expires in April in default of bona tide operations. The promoters will haven hill before Ihe bouse, asking, among other tilings, au extension nf time in which to commence operations, Certain events have transpired since the graining of the charter to prejudice members of ibe legislalure against the Red Mountuln company, It is practically Ihe Nelson jtForl Sheppnrd Railway Company, or, in other words, D. C. Corbin. This gentleman is the principal owner of the Spokane Falls k Northern railway, the American continuation of the Nelson k Fort Sheppnrd railway connecting with Spokane, The railway company owns the townsite of Northport, and within the last year bus made every effort to build it up nt the expense of British Columbia towns, To such an extent has this been carried out that the Nelson k Fort Sheppnrd railway has refused—so it is reported.—shipments of ore from Trail Creek at any point in Canada, necessitating shipment by steamer to Northport, The way things have shaped recently bus been sulllci. ent to convince members of the legislature that the construction of any such line us the Red Mountain railway could have but une effect, that is the diversion of traffic from its natural channel through British Columbia towns to the American townsite of Northport, An effort will lie made to impress upon the house the fact that the building of the road will tend In Iiicreuse the material Importance and progress of an American townsite at the expense nf places OU this side of the line." Tlie following is part of the Nelson Tribune's rejoinder In the above : "The Nelson k Fort Sheppard railway has lint refused In receive Trail Creek ore at its stations, All ore from that district is now transferred from steamboat lo rail nt Wiineta; and were the Pilot Buy smelter now ready to treat ore, every ton of Trail creek ore could be treated at that point, provided the charges for treatment were tbe same us at American smellers, for the simple reason Ibnl lbe transportation charges from the mines lu Pilot, Buy would he ffl 11 tun less than the charges now paid fui transportation In- Tucuina nr Great Falls, Were the Red Mountain rnud built tu a connection with tbe Spokane Falls k Northern nl, Northport, the transportation charges, tu Pilot Buy would be even less than the present rate, for both the wagon and steamboat hauls would lie done away with.

The people of south Yale i|jj(j'have no reason to cherish a friendly fcjiling towards Mr. Fletcher, those, at any rate, who live in the south pkanngnh and Ketflo river. The manner in which the country south of Okanagan lake has been treated during the past four years in this rejpect would lead anyone to believe that the arrangement for mail Contracts in this section was left to a committee of lunatics. If Mr. Mara is wise io his generation (nnd he certainly jins the reputation of being so) he will undoubtedly take some acton in the ik'e'r'before the next general election I ,|-J|i place, either by securing the lostoffiee inspector a handsome pension for life or by getting another official appointed to arrange mail contracts for the districts in bis constituency. This may be a very "smalt" way of treating a political matter, but f' oliticB in this section of Canada are ery suiail imyway, and if Mr, Mara pannot secure Kettle river a better piail service than that lately accorded tq it, he can rely on receiving very few Kettle river votes.

Seventy-live men "swore pff" on Boundary creek during the last night of 1801. All have sworn on again by this time except one man, who dops not wish his name to be made public. Mr. and Mrs. D. McClung and family left Midway on Thursday for their ranch near Colville, where they will pass the remainder of tlie winter, returning Ui their Boundary creek home In the spring. Last Wednesday a great, Christmas celebration took place at McLaren Bios,' hotel, Grand Prairie, A large number of miners wore present. What with music, stump speeches, and step dancing everybody had a real good time. Mr. William McCormick especially excelled himself in step dalle. ing, and the chorus "Crossing thu Occur d'Aleno," brought down the house. We regret to report that two valuable teams belonging to Mr. Beimel, of Midway, were drowned in the Kellle river last, Sunday. They were bejqg driven down to Curlew creek to be wintered hy Mr, .1. W. Heed, and the ice broke while they were being laken on the river round the rocky liluff, about two miles from that point. Mr. Heed first tried the ice himself un horse back and it appeared to be perfectly safe, ll, however, broke when the teams were being driven over It, and the burses wore carried down by the current, one after the other. A very sad event is reported frnni the Toniisket Indian school (Okatiiiguii) on the Colville reservation, One of the scholars, Moses Lambert, a half- In-eeil, while stooping uver a l.it'ge heating tub used for washing purposes, slipped iiiiii fell into the almost boiling water. Those near, in attempting to pull him out, let him fall in a second time. The unfortunate child was so badly scalded that lie died in great agony four hours afterwards, He was buried near the schuolhoiise. The parents, who live twelve miles up Curlew creek, are distracted with grief, He was tljpir eldest child and twelve years of age. Mr. Charles Lawson, one of the pioneer cattle men of the upper Okanagan, died in yernon on December 20th. He was a native of Sweden and was a sailor during the early part of his life. He took part in the earliest gold excitements |n Australia and came to B. C. at the time of the first rush to Cariboo. On leaving the gold liekls of (he north he went into the cattle business and took up a ranch on Swan lake, near Venwn. This property was purchased, together with his band of cattle, some four years back hy Judge Spinks. Since the sale of Ilis ranch Lawson's health hail gradually become unpaired. The immediate cause of his death was f romfalliugdown stah-s in the Victoria hotel, Vernon, wlierehy he fractured his hip bone and onp of his arms. tjews from the outside world reaches Kettjp river slowly, It was qply this week that intelligence of the death of Mr. Jfat. Hotter reached Boundary creek, who died on November. 15th, four days after reaching San Francisco. Mr. Hotter was a partner of Mr. ,1. Stevens, who oiiginally owned the Wide West mine, Fairview, and held interests at the time of his death, in the Evening Star, Fairview j Paris and Lincoln, White's camp, and the Knob Hill and fronsides, Greenwood, besides other properties, He was a very much respepted man among all who knew him. jtor a long time past he had been in very feeble health. He leaves, we understand, two children in California to mourn his loss and died intestate, For the lnforlna|i|pn of justices of the pence ill llle southern portion of Ihe Osoyoos Dlvlslqfl of Yule we may stale that at the licensing einii'l held nl Vernon on tin' 16th, Mr. 0, W.

A shaft house has been put up on the Lost Chance, Stylnrk camp. On New Years Eve service was held by the Catholics on the reservation at Mr. R. Keoiigljan's, near Curlew creek. Mr. J. A, Gpryell, C.

Taylor of the Wellington camp jvent up to Rock creek to-day. He stated that, he and Mr. Riiui- bcrger, having done what work thev Intended to do this season nn the Ophir, meant to do some development on the Lexington, White's camp. Mr. Taylor also stated that lie had gone out pf the cat-raising business, as the owl season was again approaching. Mr. H. While returned to Midway fin Sunday from a business trip tn fairview, lie reported that tlie mill was only running live stamps, pending the arrival of new stamps and shoes from San Francisco to replace those worn oul. The Morning Star ledge, he slated, was proving itself to be wider and belter than ivns supposed where Ihe me is now being taken out. Mr. Fred.

Among tlie visitors from a distance may be mentioned Mr. and Mrs. Carraber, Miss and the Misses Elsie and Belle McLaren, JJr, F, Ruckle and Miss Wassnti, and Miss Newby, together with a large number of gentlemen, These parties drove over from Grand Prairie by way of the new road over the Boundary Mouu. tain, and reported gqpd sleighing and a nice time spent on the way, the drive being a very enjoyable one, A large contingent came alss from Boundary Falls and vicinity, among whom were noticed Messrs, T. Hardy, G. A. Ren- dell, D. A. Hollirook, N. Leplaute, H. White, J. Winters, John Harlan and others. Midway was. represented by Mrs. Miicdoniild, Miss Jones, Mr. and Miss McAuley, Mr. and Mrs. Lundy. Mr, and Mrs. Melville, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, Mr. and Mrs. McDowell, Mr. and Mrs, McClung, Mr, and Mrs. Martin, the Misses. Hopper and Miss Susie McClung. The local bachelors' names cannot he given for want of space, their number being legion, sufficient is it to say that they turned out in force. At about 7 p. in. dancing was commenced, the music being furnished by (l well appointed orchestra, and with the exception of the time spent in partaking of a splendid supper at 12 o'clock furnished by Messrs. McAuley k Lundy, to whom for the many deli- cas|cs provided greal praise is due, was kept lip until the early morning warned, those remaining that, they had truly filtered upon the New Year, and that gay us. the night had been, all things, even nletistirt, must have an ending, So with many expressions of kindly regard exchanged between entertainers and visitors, llu- musl enjoyable gathering nf tlie kind llnil ever took place uu lyiltlii river was brought tu an end, ivilh the wish expressed by many thai the nonr future might witness such another, ,.»_« COIIIHSSPOMDENOIO, 'I'u lliu Editor uf Tim Auvascii: Sir—For somo reason at present unknown the Advance hue not come l,o bundi possibly the mall service is al fault i any way your tidy and interesting paper has mil. visited the writerfor a number of weeks. The valley is settling down lo winter quarters, and cattle aro lining gathered nlf the ranges fur feeding. The stock is coming in in fair condition and us feed Is plentiful, with ordinary care, and unless Iho winter |s very severe, the cattle should come tlirpugh oil right. The prospects of the valley (ire brightening. The hard times, wliieli means with us slow sales and scarcity of ca^h, are getting \b» pepple down to. business in reducing expenses and practising economy, b«sjdes making plain to some the lai.) i lint good |i|,iin common seni-y, backed i)p with honest work, is a sjirer tneans of prosperity than wild-cat speculation or trying to get rich at the expense of somebody else. Mission Valley is progressive. The inauguration nf the "Agricultural and Trades Association" is a ipai'ked step forward, and r-efleets. the greatest credit on the forethought and perception of those who brought the society into ex- isteqpe, apd nq doubt it will fully justify the expectations pf its most sanguine supporters, There are coipplnints p to expensive transportation, Freight rates seem to be always u bone of contention. It is certainly true that without cheap transportatipn some of our iqost valuable resources must be idle. Whether we shall ever get as cheap rains as those in ihe eastern provinces must be doubtful, considering our piuuutain- locked position, If we are unfavorably situated in regard I" cheap tianspurlntiuii, what must bu the position of those to the south nf Okanagan lako and in tho .Siinilkaineen valley f And when the great interests at stake are considered, the development of tbe lower Okau- ngiiu and Siinilkaineen countries must be seriously handicapped by lack of quick and easy accesB to tbe coast. Jn the days of the cayuse and pack- npile t||e quickest and easiest route to llle const was from Penticton to Kcre- meos, and up the Siniilkameen river lo Princeton, thence across the mountains to Hope, about 1-15 miles. Now, why could not this old and reliable route he again used, and the most recent scientific invention to reduce I he cost of travel take the place of the cayuse and pack nude? In other words—would it not be possible to build nn electric tram line from Pentictou to Hope, taking in the mining camps to the south ? There is an abundance of power along the line. I presume Okanagan Fulls would furnish power enough In dn a great deal of the work, aud the Siniilkameen and other streams coqld be safely relied upon to do tho rest. It seems to. me that tram cars coi'ld, he made to climb grades in the Hopo Mountains as well as the hjlls between Westminster and Vancouver, As for the funds to put the thing in operation, if everybody along the route, or would be affected liy such an enterprise would take hold of it, I see no reason why the money could not be raised. I am neither an electrician nor engineer, but I make the suggestion in the hopo that if the idea is feasible a cheap and ready means of access to the coast can be had for the late spring, summer and early fall months that would lie of great advantage t(i the residents of this valley and the coqutry through whicli tho road would pass, And if such a scheme is practicable to Hope it might be possible to continue the line down the south side of the Fiuser and cross the river on the new bridge to bo built at New Westminster, making that city the terminus, and thus get the support of the people along the Frasep, and also some assistance from the city of New Westminster, This letter has now become much longer than I expected, so I will not, continue It further, only to sav that if this tram |jno is not an impossibility, the Government would no doubt help in its construction.
