Jacknn ot Midway left on Monday last for Nicola, where ho Intends to reside in future, having accepted n position with the II. U. Cattle company, A rumor nflont uuys that Mr. C. L. Thomet was married in Portland- Ore., Now Year's Eve., and that he nnd his bride will arrive in Midway In a few days. Mr. Joseph Harlan, of Great Hopes and arastre fame, is expected to be among ns again noon Mr. Harlan is at prcHcnl in Colorado, whither he went upon louring Boundary creek. Kvery one will be plcancd lo greet Mr. Harlan again. BIT, A. S. Fowler, consulting engineer of the London und British Columbia Cold Fields company, mi unii'il from Cnmp McKinney ou Wednesday's stage, and, judging from lbe appear* aucu of several little oaiiviw sucks, hu must have been pitying attention to some of the many promiMiig properties of that cnmp. On Tuesday lusi Mr, ll. Wblto, acoompantod by Mr. Carpenter, a co-owner in lliu celebrated Washington and tone Star claims mi tlm reservation, was In town. Mr. White hus lhe lunnuguiHont at tho mines of the Bpokano Mining and Milling compun's affairs, and Is very enthusiastic ns to tho future outlook of the property. Kvery unil that lean's this district curries away to tbo cast and south certain sums of money, aud overy mall that arrives brings to the people of this section many parcels contain* iug goods of ad sorts nnd descriptions, principally millinery and fancy articles. Under these ciruumstauues it is a matter of wonder some oue cituuot be found who, being conversant with thu business, would upon up un estnblisb- uieiit in unt'of the several towns of the uolgh- tii-ihuii to '.upturn linn trade mul keep the found- or at least some of it, in the districl. The opening is a good one. Why doe-j some one not embrace the opportunity. It Is to be hoped that thosj hiking part III lhe recent Christmas Trco entertainment nt Midway will not bo discouraged by the uncouth aud coarse criticism of the castor oil humorist of Boundary creek. Of course Hie young editor intended to be witty and original. He certainly won original. On this continent It is not considered good taste ou the part of an editor lo male vulgar jokes ut tbe expense of those who spend their time and cosh in furnishing a freo evening's amusement lo the public, any more than it would bo for a gentleman to puss coarse remark.*- about his hostess at n dinner party. The exception often proves tho rule. For the better uccommodotlon of freight the C, P. It. should provide more warehouse room at Penticton. This coming summer will sec a tremendous amount of goods lutudted at* lids point-, nud u repetition of sonic of lust, summers expert met* b not desired by merchants. An iiistauce wai. relalud tho other day in which it was shown that goods shipped from Vernon in the curly summer only reached their deal Jim* tion jn.*.! before Christmas, although the distance between the points was only about l.ji miles. This was caused by ihe overcrowding of the present warehouse, making It impossible to ^ct at Ihc goods referred to until most of lhe freight had boen cleared away. ■> • ■* MIXING NOTES.

On the 20th inst. at Greenwood City the Hrst pieeling since the inception <>f the Boundary Creek Mining and Coin- pierciai association took place, and the nu in her present and the enthusiasm displayed gives promise that the association has a live career before it. The vice-president, Mr. Galloway, occupied the clmir, and Ihe first matter to claim the attention of those presenl was ihe ratification of the bylaws, pules und regulations of tbe association- which, after being read by the secretary, and discussed by those present, were adopted. Mutters pertaining io ihe constitution having been adjusted, Important liusiness was at once taken up, ami the lirst thing 10 claim iheir attention was the ipiesiinu of fieingt. rales hetween the points Marcus and Penticton aud Boundary creek. Theqilestiim was freely ventilated, and il was shown ihal the advantage still remained in a great extent wilh the Marcus route, iu spite of the great reduction made iu rales liy the C. P. It. The discrepancy, however was partly owing to the dUIerence iu haulltig charges lietwcen the sever** points, and In equalize these charges is lhe object aimed at hy the association, This may he done if a cheap system of transpurticion can he established whereby go ds can he laid down at Okanagan Pulls, and hauled from there instead of from Pentictou, A petition signed hy the merchants of Boundary creek nnd an explanntorv letter, both endorsed hy the association aud as well hy the Anaconda Commercial club, were ordered lo be forwarded to the 0' P. IJ,, together with a copy of the resohilion passed at lliis meeting. The secretary was then instructed to open correspondence with Mr, (i, H. Ford, western representative of the Dominion Express company, with a view of inducing the company to establish an agency on Boundary creek. Statistics showing the amount of business al present transacted were ordered forwarded with copy of tbe resolution. Railway communication to the district was then taken up, and so enthusiastic was the ineeling upon this subject, that those present would not be satisfied until a deputation consisting of Mr. R. Word, Mr, H. Smales and | Mr, Ti McDonnell were deputed lo proceed to the coast at nncertlid there interview members of lbe government upon tbe great question which is -t burning one wilh the residents of Boundary creek at the present time D.
