"A f OM MONDftY, MAY 25TH A good Programme of Sports Has Been Provided and A successful Day's Celebration ts Assured. Preparations) for the forthcoming Victoria Day celebration are proceeding very satisfactorily. The different committees having in hand the arrangements for the various features of the day's attractions have been kept busy during the past two weeks, and now have the satisfaction of seeing the results of their work in 11 programme, which provides entertainment throughout the whole day of tlie celebration. The programme, which has ju$t been issued is a large and varied one, the events including horseraces, bicycle races, base ball matches and athletic sports. The Greenwood Citizens' band has been engaged to furnish music throughout the day. As the 24th falls on Sunday, Monday, the 25th will be the day upon which the celebration will be held. The committee" appointed to make the necessary collections for defraying the expenses of the celebration is meeting with a generous response und no expense will he spared in carrying out the programme and thus providing visitors an enjoyable holiday. The 24th of May has long been cognized in the Boundary district, us Midway's day. Ever since Midway was a town it has celebrated the 24th of May, with great success. Even last year when a neighboring town attempted to purloin the day by holding a rival celebration, the attractions at Midway were so superior that Midway's celebration was in every way a success, which certainly could not be said of the rival celebration, consequently the residents of that town this year decided to in no way interfere with Midway's customery celebration hut to lend support and share in the day's pleasure Thisyear tliere is no other town in the Boundary celebrating the 24th and as arrangements have been made with the C. P. R. to run special excursion trains from Grand Porks, Phoenix, Eholt and Greenwood, there will undoubtedly be a large crowd here that day. Expos! tricts it is evident that in others much indifference prevails, which, in view of the circumstance that the Doniinion government is prepared to pay all railway freight charges to Ottawa and thence to St. Louis, is disappointing. Regarding the collection of mineral specimens it does not yet appear to be generally understood that Mr. Stuart made, a business arrang- ment with the Provincial Mining association at Victoria, to the effect that in every district where there is a branch of the association the local branch shall collect and deliver "to the nearest railway station, boxed and ready for transportation, whatever mineral specimens it is intended shall be sent for exhibition purposes. Individual specimens up to four pounds may be sent free by mail addressed to the Exhibition Branch, Ottawa. All exhibits (excepting placer gold and specimens of special value, which will be returned if desired), will become the absolute property of the Dominion government. Although the St. Louise xpos- ition will not take place until next year, the work now in hand is of particular importance, and it cannot bo too strongly impressed on those concerned that if they wish their respective districts to bo well represented they must set ubout getting together theii; collection without delay. Exhibits will be accepted at Ottawa up till October 31st next, but it is desirable that they be sent in as much before that date as possible, so as to facilitate the making of arrangements for space, preparation of catalogues, etc. The Dominion will lie divided into provinces and these again into districts, aud the showing each district will make lies, with itself, for if no local interest be taken after the government tyis shown ite readiness to bear all cost from thu time exhibits shall be delivered at tho railway it cannot be expected that any further assistance will be forthcoming. Minerals For St. Louis tion. A.K. Sftiart, of the exhibition branch of the department of agriculture, Ottawa, is about to close his visit to the Bouudary district. He will likely go hence to liossland, Nelson and the Slocan, spending a short time at each of those places before proceeding to the Northwest Territories and Manitoba. During his stay in the Boundary, extending over several weeks, Mr. Stuart hus been in correspondence with all the set tied part* of the province regarding the collection of exhibits. While this matter has been taken up with commendable enthusiasm in some dis- A Telephone Transaction. Lost week D. C. Corbin and A. M. Thomas came from Spokane to Greenwood und there met John Dean, Geo. A. Keating and A. H. MacNeil, of Rossland, and Duncan Ross, of Greenwootl, these several Gentlemen being officially connected with either the Yale-Kootcn- ay T. & T. Co., or the Great Northern. The meeting held after the arrival of the Spokane contingent was for the purpose of formally ratifying the sale to the Great Northern of the telegraph system in tho Boundary district put in under a provincial charter obtained in 180!) by the Yale- Kootenay T. & T. Co., which built a line in British Columbia from the Boundary line at Cascade to Carson and from Midway to Greenwood, the connecting lines giving through communication to Spokane and other points being in Washington. The Yale-Kootenay Co.'s telegraph business in this district was generally regarded as the Spokane Northern system, but when at the flrst of the year it passed into the hands of the Groat Northern it was announced to bo the Yale-Kootenay system, under which name it has since been worked. Probably it will in time become known as the Great Northern, but after all the name does not matter much.

Suppose that Premier Prior had carried out his policy, of liberally bonusing railroads with money and large portions of the public domain, and suppose that the Canada Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific railroads were built across the continent, and that King Ed ward had conferred knighthood upon the presidents of the roads and suppose that W. C. Wells were Chief Commissioner of Lands and Works and spent all the time he had left, after contemplating his position as one of King Edward's ministers in cultivating the friendship of the three Sir Thomases, or railroad knights, where in this case do you suppose the people of British Columbia would get off at? MUST HAVE A CHANGE. Though tlie half has not been told in regard to the negotiations of our so called representatives with the C. P. R„ and never will be, one result of the revelations will be that thepeo pie will demand a complete revolution in the government of this province. At the earliest opportunity, the flectorate will see that men imbu d with a proper sense of ttieir responsi bility to the people and vi 'i the principles of common l.on- «styand decency in the conduct of public affairs, are ele-t- ed to represent them. We have had enough of men who pose us ministers of the crown and friends of the president of the C. P. R., but who forget or are ignorant of the fact, that in this country a minister of the crown should be nothing more or less than a representative or trustee of the people. The members of the present government, with the exception of the premier, were elected on the cry that the country must be saved from Joe Martinism. Joseph Martin lias his faults, but he is in favor of reform, and sees clearly that the system of government in tliis country is about fifty years behind the times. The principles of rosponsibile government for whicli the older provinces struggled for years, are entirely beyond the grasp of many of British Columbia's legislators. They were not brought up to them, and do not understand them, and some of them will tell you that British Columbia should have remained a crown colony. They do not believe in popular or responsible government and sigh for the good old day,< when "appointments" were made from the Old country, There is work to be done ii this province similar to that done in the older provinces in tho days when the "Family • compact" controlled them. Those blue-blooded gentlemen divided a good part of the crown hinds among their friends —There were no great corporations in , those days—and ruled with a high hand, until such men as George Brown and Joseph Howe and many other reformers, after many years of bitter contests, successfully stormed the barriers of ami- The Denver & Rio Grande, popularly kndwn as'the "Scenic Lineof the Worldi"has announced greatly reduced round-trip rates from Pacific Coast points for the benefit of teachers who will spend their vacation in the East, and of delegate8 to all the prominent Convejitions-^-N.

On opening the door he found a man standing there evidently suffering extremely. The unfortunate fellow was quite nude, ahd it was plain that fire had injured half his body, whilst blood was dripping from his burned left hand. He was taken to a near-by hotel and simple remedies were applied until Dr. Gordon arrived from Greenwood. The grave nature of the case was immediately recognized by the doctor, who, after relieving the unfortunate man's ^sufferings as much as possible, had him removed to the Greenwood hospital, where he is doing as well as can be expected under tlie circumstances. There seems to be little doubt that Webb was the victim of want of carefulness. He was seen going to the house with some groceries after his return from a 17-mile walk to Long Lake and back, where be had been to see a brother employed doing assessment work near the Jewel mine. He was quite sober, as is his wont to be, and it is supposed that after getting supper he lay down, having an unprotected candle alongside his bed. Being tired after his long walk he no doubt fell asleep and slept heavily, and was not awakened until much burned. Asa partly burned shirt was found smoldering some yards from the burning house it would appear that in his frenzy Webb tore off the burning shirt and ran over the rough ground to the office above mentioned. The house aud contents, which were uninsured and belonged to Thomas Webb, were entirely destroyed. The the latter was sent for next day and was shortly on hand to supply his brother's needs. Another brother Samual Webb is resident at 216 Keefer street, Vancouver. It is stated that smallpox is spreading at Chesaw, across the international boundary line south of Rock Creek, and now a case is reported from the British Columbia side of the line, towards the Anarchist Mountain farming section. The medical offticer some time since placed guards at Midway Myers Creek, but there is such a long stretch of unprotected boundary line that it is not practicable to entirely prevent communication between the infected district and points on the British Columbia side of the line, For instance, a man Was in Green- Wood from Chesaw last week, and to get there, he had first gone to Republic, so it is alleged, crossed the line thence to Grand Forks and so around to Greenwood. The case at Anarchist Mountain is supposed to have been occasioned by a visitor from Chesaw to the farm in question for prior to that visit there wus no knowu case on this side of the lfae in that district.

New Smelter Manager. E. J. Wilson has been appointed manager of the Northport smeltt*'.', to succeed Manager Watson, and has taken charge of the work. It is expected that Mr. Watson, who has been temporarily in charge until a successor could be secured for Oscar Sssontagh, until recently manager, will be retained on the smelter staff. He is an experienced and capable man in most respects, save that he has not had a rounded metallurgical experience, and his appointment was temporary. Mr. Wilson, the now manager, was formerly with the Great Fulls smelter, the Philadelphia plant at Pneblo, and was eastern representative for the Northern smelter under the Breen regime. He was also manager of the Boundary Falls smelter, but gave up that position on tlie sale of the property to the Montreal & Boston Copper company, and since then has been looking after the interests of Price Brothers in the Boundary. He is classed as a capable and experienced mining man. Steam Shovel for Knob Hill. The Granby conipnny has recently made a decided innovation in the methods of mining in British Columbia by the introduction of a steam shovel in connection with the, hauling of ore at the Knob Hill mine. This powerfull machine, which arrived last week, was at once placed in commission on the hill, and is said to be working to the satisfaction of William Yol- en Williams, the superintendent of the Granby mines. It is mounted on traction wheels, and has a dipper capacity of three-quarters of a cubic yard of ore, or one and a half tons. In a day of ten hours it will handle from 1000 to 1500 tons of ore, or from 500 to 750 yards. It is fitted with a vertical boiler, 45 inches in diameter by sjBven feet in height, and now is being operated at No. 1 level of the Knob Hill mine. One advantage of the steam shovel is that it can be readily moved by its own power io any part of the surface workings of the Granby mines, lt was manufactured at Lorraine, Ohio. t Hen Wanted it it it 1 To sell for the large Fonthlll nurseries.

Tlie varying emotions that prevodks a newspaper man's breast may be fairly judged from a recent issue of one of our contemporaries. In that one issue he is glad, is pained, is delighted, has regret, heartfelt sorrow. With such conflicting and varying emotions it is no wonder that editors are either gray or bald headed at forty. The Wonder is that they are alive. —♦— Don't borrow trouble. An editor in Wisconsin recently begun worrying about how he would get his shirt on over his wings on reaching Paradise.
