Should Ihis clause he allowed lostund we believe British Columbia will be the Iirsl province iu tlie Dominion lo adopt such un experiment, wliieli is not however a new Idea, as the same is working successfully in other count rii's.

We are pleased to l.e able to report the partial convalescence of Mr. W. G. McMynn and family, ail of whom have recently lieen stricken down with a severe attack of la grippe. The foundation is being laid in Green- wood Oily for a new building of large dimensions, which is lieing constructed for Messrs. Sansoin & Holbrook, mining and real estate, agents, Mi. 0. D'B. Green, after completing the survey of the Jewel and Delicto Giande claims iu Long Lake "ciinip, owned by the Brilish Columbia Prospecting and Promoting syndicate, proceeded to Osoyoos on Thursday's slage. The pasl week witnessed a general clearance of patients trim the Greenwood hospital, as the following le- turned to their hemes cnnvalescent: Mrs. Wiseman uf Grand Forks, Mr. 0, fi. Stuart of Cumin, and Mr. McKay Ingram of Midway. The people of Greenwood uud Anaconda are applying tu the minister nf education for the formation of unol-liei- school district on Boundary creek, tu adjoin the present Midway school district. The increase ill population during the past year makes this necessary. Mis W. T. Thompson's many friends wili lie glad to hear thut she is speedily recovering froui a serious illness, lasting uver a period of two weeks, during wbich time her condition was extremely critical. Dr. Jakes was at. tendaiit physician, and lo his skill may be attributed thepilient'sspeedy recovery. Harvey Wilcox, a rather noted character in the district, was arrested at Fairview a few days iigoon a charge of stealing a horse at Hock Greek recently aud selling the same at Fair- view. The accused was brought, befure Thos. Ellis, J. P., on the 22nd insl. at Osoyoos, and after a recital of the evidence in the case the magistrate coiiiuiitled Wilcox fur trial. Consequent, upon the construction of the irrigation system al Midway, much building will Ik* indulged in hy parties desirous of going into business at luis point. By rumor curreutiit the pres- vnl time il would seem the town is to lie supplied this summer with quite a nuni tier nf new places of liusiness, tu any nothing of the many residences putties coulrii.pliitc en-el iug. A second townsite is being laid out al Fairview, Ibis second one heing put upon tbe market by Mr. Thus. I'lllis of Penticton. The former was platted and put upon tlie market by Mr, Sprotile of Faii-view, ti'liuinvll,* a !(20- acre ptv-emplioii al lhat point. Consequent upon the lively times Fuirview is now experiencing, nu doubt rent estate will he eagerly sought after, and therefore the proprietors of the ri val townsites should have no diftictilty lu driving a Nourishing trade. The death of live valuable canines is tlle result of the iudiKcrimiuaU'dispi niti.ni of strychnine puison hails laid nlong tbe luuin trunk road helweeu Bock Creek and Greenwiiud Cily. As a resull of I he death of suine uf these valuable dogs, lhe owners are on llu u-nr path and sbutilj II he discovered who the party is who so heedlessly laid out such baits, be will certainly feel the effect of their indignation. There is a provincial statute in force regulating the laying out of puison for the purpose of destroying vermin, which in lliis case scents lo huve been violated. It is lo lie hoped the strung arm of the law will reach the culprit. *>-•-« WOUNDED BY A PISTOL SHOT. A sad mistake, (ind one that might have heeu attended with filial consequences, took place licic on Friday morning butt, when Mr. J. Hood of Greenwood City was shut through the arm hy our resident constable and recorder, Mr. W. G. McMynn. To an Advance representative, by (be parties present ul the time of lhe shooting, the following fuels were recited: It wuuld seem thai different patties having becomeucquniiilcd with llle fuel Ihal. the lille to a mineral cliiliu wns aboul lo lapse, which claim is Bind tu In- un extension nf I be funiuus Mother Lode in llciiilivuod camp, Ihree or four men, atilulig llieni Messrs.

Having accomplished Iheir object so far, lhey repaired; to the government olllee at Midway, there to record Iheir claims, at which point they arrived about 8 o'clock Friday morning, Having arrived at, the record office, lhey took up their positions on llie steps outside, but after remaining a lime une uf the parties left aud went over lo the hotel. At Ihis time Mr. McMynn, liis wife, daughter and Miss McKeuzie, who resides with the family, were all fast asleep, Iu fact Mr. McMynn unil his family had been confined to bed for a week previous suffering from a severe attack of la grippe. Presumably after the parlies Hood uml Lewis luui re- luaiincd outside l',.|.,iliiit. la.lf utilio-.it, a tupping sound was heard in the house, which awoke all its Inhabitants simultaneously. Hearing this sound, and believing it proceeded froui the interior of I he office, which is situated in the house next lo the bedroom of the family, Mr. McMyiiu gnl up and proceeding along a passage nay, listened at the office dour whicli opens into the passage, Afler being ihere for a few seconds he became convinced that some parlies were in the office and were tampering with the safe. He then went into the kitchen and was about, to proceed oulside, when he noticed some one puss and repass the window, at lhe same time lie heard a door open iu the house, and soon returned to investigate, Upon moving back In the passage way he tnelMiss McKeuzie, who asked if be heard Ihose men in the office and were lhey not robbing tiie safe, and where was his gun? ll would de well here lu slate thnt Miss McKeuzie carried a liglil in hci-hand, uud before ineeling Mr. McMynn and while be was in the kitchen, bud been iii Ilis room for Ihe purpose of arousing him, This fact accoiuils for a light having been mil iced in lbe room next to llle ofllie by the parlies,oulside, just previous to the shooting, But to resume lhe narration of the of the affair, il must be said i he meeting with Miss McKeuzie and her observations strengthened the recorder's uwu convictions, aud immediately he proceeded oul of the house by the hack door, and coming around lo the corner where a view of the office door could be obtained, noticed only Ihe puny wounded, who tvus pacing buck- ward and fiirwaitl befure the door which action the constable had presumably construed to iiiea.ii that, be was posted oulside liy the parlies within, to keep witch while they carried out the robbery, At this point the shooting commenced, the third shot Inking effect in Mr, Hood's arm, whereupon he shunted oul he was wounded, and iiinvcd, togelher wilh Lewis, who had been silling ou the steps lllllioliced liy McMynn, to the front, of the building and out of range of the Ure, Only when the lust shot in the r velvet- chamber had been liretl, and thecunslable found himself alone In a seini-nude stale and freezing to death, did he realize whal a dreadful mistake bad been made. It, was however I lale; lhat had been done whicli could not he undone, lhe Innocent, had suffered. 4 . 4 ■ DISMISSED. The young mail, H. McKay of Grand Furks, charged with baying stolen money from Dr, Smith of lhe same place, was again brought befure W. H. Norris, J, P., un Saturday lust, after the enquiry having been remanded froui the lllth insl., pending turlher investigation, uud lo allow the accused the opportunity uf procuring witnesses, Nn further evidence being adduced by the prosecution, the magistrate held that lliere was mil sufficient evidence liefoie the court to directly connect tlle accused with Ihe I heft, and therefore declined to commit him fur trial. i-i-.
