The celebration to be held here on Victoria Day, May 25th promises to be the best ever held in Midway. Already a large number of horses are here fitting for the races and many fifom outside towns have signified their intentions of being present and competing for the liberal purses offered. An excellent programme has been piovided and elaborate preparations are being made for carrying it out satisfactorily, The base ball matches will be a great attraction. In the afternoon a match will be play ed between Phoenix and Grand Forks and as both these towns have good teams the result will be watched with interest, Later in tho day the winning team will play Greenwood. Greenwood, Grand Forks, Phoenix and Eholt will each ebfttriHtttir 11 large number of visitors, as this is the only attraction in the Boundary country that day, and if the weather be fine there will be tho largest crowd ever in the town The race track has been put in perfect condition, there being just enough rain of late to obtain this result. Sunday is Victoria day, but Monday will be observed in order to mark the day. School will be closed so as to provide the children a holiday, and they huve not been forgotten in the arrangement of the programme as sports for the little ones are therein provided. The Greenwood Citizens' Band will furnish music and thus assist in perfecting the celebration, as no celebration is complete without a band. The C. P. R. is running a special excursion train from Grand Forks. Phoenix, Eholt and Greenwood, leaving the two former places at 8 a. m; Eholt at 8.45, reaching Greenwood at 0.40 and Midway at 10 o'clock. J.J, Hill Interviewed. Being interviewed at Spokane last Saturday by a representative of the Spokesman Boview, Jus. J. Hill, of the Great Northern said: "We shall extend the spur to the Granby smelter at once, lt is also our purpose to build to Phoenix and into the Similkameen. I am not prepared now to say I how soon we shall extend the line to Phoenix. But we must develop that northern territory. They need coke. There is line coking coal in the Crow's Nest and we have a fine road there now. We are ready to haul the coal and coke, but it has to be made first. We are going to extend two branches up north. We will build into the Okanagan country and the Similkameen. Yes, it is the V. V. & E., but most of the line will be on this side bf the boundary. We will havo to make somo large improvements also on the Spokane Falls & Northern. We are to put down heavier Steele and improve the grades. Improvements will be made as fast as the business will warrant. The railroad magnate was in the best of humor and a pparen t- ly feeling fine as a fiddle. His walk was springy, aud he paced back and forth on tho platform at a pace whicli was decidedly rapid, In rinswer to a remark about his apparent good health, Mr. Hill retorted, laughingly: "Yes lam feeling fine." "I am going on to the coast to inspect the progress of improvements there. I shall re turn Monday and may make a stop here for a short time. From here I am going up into the Crow's Nest country before returning home." Good Ore around Greenwood. New finds continue to be be made within a mile of Greenwood of gold-quartz leads carrying values that promise to make the opening of them up profitable. Following the finding of telluride ore in tho Lancashire fraction some weeks ago by the E. P. U. Mines company, similiar ore was last week met with in a 30 foot prospect shaft on the Dynamo, owned by Portmau Bros., of the Elkhorn brewery. On the Golfincli, too, this ore has been found and' there are indications of it iu a quartz lead lately uncovered on the Barbara. Farther away about two miles from the town, two quartz leads are being prospected on the Dandy, assay returns giving higher values in gold and silver than are usually obtained from surface rock. The Mother Lode mine is easily keeping ahead of tho ore requirements of two furnaces at the Greenwood smelter. Last Saturday's shipments aggregated about 050 tons. Nearly all the storage bins at the smelter are filled with ore.

Burtt Morgan Acquitted. It took the twelve good men and true who formed the jury in the criminal libel case against Rev. J. Burtt Morgan, which has occupied the time of the assize court for the past three days, just 14 minutes to come to a verdict at 12:15 last Thursday. They had been out just 14 minutes when they returned the following verdict. "Wu find unanimously that the accused is not guilty of the charge." Mr. Morgan was at once set free and received the congratulations of his friends. The judge's charge was brief, but he was plainly in favor of the prisoner's acquital, and the jury could arrived at a decision without leaving the box had they desired to do so. The result can hardly be welcomed by Harry Daniel, who has succeeded in vindicating the reverend accused, and will now have a swinging double bill of costs to settle, since under the act, when a private prosecution brings a charge of criminal libel and fails he has to pay the costs of the accused in addition to his own. J. Burtt Morgan is the only one concerned in tho unpleasant affair who comes out with flying colors. Mr. Morgan is very much in the hands of his friends, and they very frankly declare that the war will be pushed by them to its legitimate conclusion. IN PRIZES.

REPORT OF DELEGATES TO OTTAWA. In this report it is stated that the British Columbia government, has constructed 600 miles ofroadnta cost of $12,000,000, and 5000 miles of trails at a cost of $1,000,000. "Few of these roads can be considered as finished roads. They are, as a rule, nine or ten feet wide, simply graded roughly, and constantly being repaired and improved, There are also numerous bridges and culverts to be construct ed which are very expensive indeed." This makes tho average cost per inile for roads throughout the province $2,000. In East Yale the cost of some roads under construction, according to the report, is $1,700 per mile. $12,000,000 is a large sum of money for even the public, works department, the great spending department. These figures were prepared by the government engineers and aro. it is stated, well within thc mark. The British Columbia government is troubled with deficits, and though large loans are made from time to time, is not able, to furnish public works when and where they are needed. This is a serious state of ai Fairs, and it might be well for the government to devise some more economical system in the construction of public works, ii' that be possible. Perfection, of course, is not expected and cannot be attained: but the people have a right to expect from thoir representatives and officials a reasonable degree of foresight and prudence, such as the average person uses in the con duct of his private affairs. We aro not, of course, familiar with the cost of public works throughout the province, but know something about the cost in East Yale, and judging from the figures contained iu the public accounts, they are about the same, on an average, here as elsewhere, aud we have a well- grounded suspicion that, under a better system, several-millions ■ of dollars could be deducted from $12,000,000, in fact, we believe it could be divided by two.

HON. GEO. A. COX, Pres. RESr, $2,500,000, B. E. WALKER, Gen. Hgt. It is estimated that there are ahout 102 million acres of land in British Colunihia. This land, as everyone knows, is good, had and indifferent in quality. S une of it is very valuable, and agreattle.il of it is valueless, In the land Act it is classified into two kinds of agricultural lands and mountain or range lands, and the price to purchasers from the governnient is from ono to live dollars, according to quality, Along the line of the Ooiumbia & Western railroad the greater part of the lands of any value have been purchased or pre-empted. It appears that according to the terms of the railroad act of 1800, the C, P. 11. were entitled to about f)00,000 acres of land contiguous to the railroad. Therimior portion of these lands it' sol scted according to the term.*-. 1/f the railroad act of 1800, would he valuable only for their scenic beauty. The G. P. |{. officials are well aware of the value of tliis kind of land to thoir compuny, but wero quite willing that it belong to the people of Ilritish Columbia, The C. P. R. could not be blamed for, desiring to obtain (100,000 acres of valuable coal and oil lands for 000,000 acres moreor less of scenery. It is strange, however, that ox- promior Dunsmuir who has lived long enough in British Columbia, u.kI .fit.1 owns enough land to know something of the value of different kinds of laud, should for a moment be so deceived, as to believe this little story about the saving to the province of 300,000 acres. In the flrst place tho province is not short of land, and in the second place, when the C. P. R. are willing to accept 600,000 acres instead of 900,000 acres, one would think that it would be suggested to the most unsophisticated mind that there might be a great difference in the quality of the land. • It is stange also if the C. P. R. were getting the worst of the deal, that the government wanted to rub it into them by making them agree to extend tho road from Midway to Spence's bridge. Possibly Sir Thomas Shaughnessy will be able to throw som'e light on this subject. Ifotloe. Moonlight Minkkai, Claim. Situate In the Kettle Mining Division or Yale District.

On the farm there are the kicking cow and our friend, the mule, while in the town there is the old mossback who wants all the privileges of the municipal living without paying for them and blocks so far as he can every municipal improvement. Then there is the political kicker that says the government has gone to the bowwows, and will lose all their votes in the district because a representative didn't do us he wanted thein to. There is also the religious kicker, who thiiiks.aU business should be run on the Zion City principle, give everything to the churches and pay your own expeiiJiJj.i.and govern the people by the rule laid down by the i'hai'iuitie. Then there is tho business kicker, that thinks business is overdone because some ono goes into the same lino of business ho does and gets up-to- date and advertises and secures all the trade. , Of course he kicks because ho doesn't think the (own or people amount to a darning needl'i. Thou there is tho bum kicker, that stands, or rather sits, on the dry goods boxes, borrows a chew of tobacco and a jack knife, and whittles and kicks because punlilers and toughs have to obey tho law anil respect other pcwple besides themselves. They kick at the ministers for trying to improve the morals of the town and koop some af tho innocent out of their vile clutches. Thoy kick at the authorities for enforcing tho few. They kick if you want thorn to work and then wjn't trtifit them, and they'll kick when they find their fu ture home is not a Dakot, blizzard and the country inters their worthless carcases in the potter's field. There is only one question that bothers us, and that is why the Almighty didn't make a kicker and a centipede on the same plan; they are both of the same value. The cow may be sold for beef and tho mule traded for a shotgun, but nothing but a funeral will got rid of the town kicker.
