J * tf tf tf | Come and Bring your Wife and Children. M- I Around the World to the Klondike. AN OPERA HOUSE Is Now Under Construction In Brooklyn. WILL OPEN AUGUST 22nd. Located oa a Large Float on the Lake Front. To be Run on First Class Lines. Among the notable institutions of which this progressive, young and vigorous town will soon be able to boast, will be an opera house and summer garden. This structure will be 62 feet long by 32 feet wide, and will be located on the Lake front. Work has already commenced on the building by a force ol carpenters and will be completed by the time the next issue of the News goes to press-August 20th. The opera house will be constructed at a convenient point on the lake shore near the International hotel and a substantial side walk will be built to it. D. M. Crowley and Tom Reid are proprietors of this new and commendable entertainment enterprise and they informed the News man that they propose to conduct a strictly first class and legitimate house. There will be no intoxicating liquors of any kind sold on the premises, but patrons may be accommodated with soft drinks, if they so desire. The house will have a seating capacity of about 250 and is to have a spacious and well appointed stage. It can, when not otherwise engaged, be secured for any legitimate gathering on reasonable terms. Mr. Crowley is a veteran at the show business and has traveled pretty much all over the world. For five years he conducted the opera house at Honolulu with great success. In the course of his travels he has gathered a large number of interesting and instructive views of places and people. The opera house will open on Monday evening, August 22, with the grand cyclorama of the Spanish American war depicting most realistically many of the great land and naval battles that occurred in the late conflict and the life and scenery in Spain and Cuba. One feature that Messrs. Cowley and Reid have decided on is to have the theater s-. conducted that it wili be a pleasant and agreeable place for ladies and children to visit. These gentlemen are to be congratulated on their enterprise and the citizens of Brooklyn will doubtless turn out and show th'iir appreciation by giving it a hearty support. 5 CONSTRUCTION NOTES. | M��**ft������ft&sA��K��Aaaa��&��*a* Mike Johnson, foreman for Burns 6 Jordan, sub-contractors, who was laid up several weeks, has made application to the Northwestern Benevolent Society ot Duluth, for relief for the time he was disabled. Foss & McDonald, who have a mile and a half contract four miles down the lake, now have a force ot 150 men at work, but are still looking for more. Six head daily is the amount of beef slaughtered in Brooklyn for the use of surrounding construction camps, and in the city trade. The demand for giant powder on this railway construction contract is so great that the Hamilton Powder Co., who furnish it, cannot manufacture it fast enough at the coast works, but are to bring it in from Montreal also. In the neighborhood of $73,000 worth of supplies and general merchandise is now turned over monthly b'y the contractors, and it is all haitdlAl at Brooklyn. This sum will undoubtedly be increased when the full complement of men gets to work*'' , McLean Bros., who have the tunnel contract, four miles from town, are said to have one of the best outfits on the line. Mrs. J. J. McLean, wife of one of the brothers and the wife of Bookkeeper Pfile are enjoying an outing with their husbands. John Twohy, the contractor, dropped in last Sunday and told the same story ol a shortage of help at his camp, where he has now some 75 hands at work. A week .from today���pay day��� it is estimated that $30,000 will be distributed to the several tub-contractors and others. Angus McClusker, one of Foss & McDonald's men, in a quarrel with some .Italians, jumped out of a boat last Sunday and started to swim for shore. He was chilled to the bone before he had gone fat and was rescued by Mr. Peterson of the Crown Point, who went out to him in a boat. Men in from Boomer's camp who came down on Sunday, 'say that about sixty men are employed there, where 'there is work for 600 or thereabouts. This is one of the largest sub-contracts on the road, being for five miles of construction. Those who claim to be in a position to know, state that after September 1st, the're will be at least 2,000 men coming over here from the Crow's Nest line, the most of the work there being pretty well done. Mr. McDonald of Foss & McDonald was in town Thursday, and states his firm have 146 men at work. They have a mile between here and Robson and are putting men on all the time. There are now 25 sub-contractors at work along the line. Tie makers mork by the piece, and are getting on an average 15 cents per tie, of which it costs about six cents to deliver on the right of way. An expert tie maker will cut 40 ties per day. The longest sub-contract on the line is that of McLean Bros., who have the tunnel and temporary switchbacks, amounting altogether to five miles of right 0 f way. James McMartin, who has two and one-half miles just beyond the tunnel, was in town Wednesday. He has now 100 men on his heavy rock cutting, but could use as many more. The Rossland Board of Trade is working to secure the construction of a wagon road in a northwesterly direction from Rossland to connect with the tote road, which the contractors are building for the extension of the Columbia & Western to Penticton. The object is to secure a share of the large trade sure to spring up in this section. James McBeth, the well known railway contractor, who has been woiking on the Crow's Nest line, came in town Thursday on the same sort of a mission. At Mann's camp, Shields' landing, there are 140 men at work, but they have accommodations for 300, which quota they are anxious to make up. Good progress is being made on the work, however. A telegram was received Wednesday that Mr. Matthews, of Matthews & Keith,- who have the contract for all the bridges on the line, had been caught in a railway accident and his leg had to be amputa- FINES WERE 1330 No "Rolling;" Or Robbing Will Be Tolerated. JUSTICE WAS SUMMARY Citizens Generally Pleased to See the Matter Dealt With���Tinhorns and Crooks Must Oo. Heretofore the News has remarked that law and justice do obtain in Brooklyn, notwithstanding the many nationalities represented in this new town. The events of the past week go far to prove this, and to show that strangers and citizens cannot be robbed or "rolled" with impunity, at least white Constable Forrester and Judge Cooper are representing the government here: And it all happened in this way: A stranger from Chicago named Paul was having a few festivities Monday evening and spent the night at the red-curtained house of Lizzie Oleson, in the east end of town. When he awoke in the morning he was minus $75 or $80. He had a bad cut on the side of his head ond blood was found on the bed clothes and on his shirt. The women claimed he had left the house about one o'clock and returned about four and had received the cut and been robbed mean- While, but Mr. Paul denied this flatly. Information being laid, Lizzie Oleson and Sadie Woods, an inmate, were arrested by officer Forrester and brought before justice of the peace Cooper. After hearing the evidence of both sides, the judge read the law and fined Miss Oleson $50 for keeping a house with red curtains, $200 for the price of a liquor license and $50 for selling without a license, together with $5 costs. Miss Woods was fined $20 and costs for being an inmate. The total amounted to $330. In as much as the statutes read that $250 or six months at hard labor may be exacted for selling without a license Miss Oleson got off pretty light, considering all the circumseances of the case. The fines and costs were all paid before the women left the court room. During the progress of the trial, which was held on Tuesday evening, the court room was packed with interested spectators, the great majority of whom expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the case. Constable Forrester says that there is a gang of crooks in town operating in this and similar ways, that he proposes to break up and drive out of the city. TO GREENWOOD AND RETURN. (Continued on Second page) Several Log Hotels Going up on the Construction Line. W. A. Milne and E. M. Dana have just returned from a trip over the line of railway construction all the way to Greenwood City and Midway. He also crossed the line a short distance into the reservation. Mr. Milne reports that the forces of men at the different camps along the line have been greatly increased since he left Brooklyn. Yet there is a great demand for more laborers. At many of the camps a sign is displayed reading: "Men wanted." Over toward Christina lake and especially in the Burnt Basin district, there are large numbers of prospectors in the hills, and a Rossland expert who recently went in there to examine properties, has given a most favorable report on the country generally from a mineral standpoint. There is a good deal of activity noticeable already beyond a point 22 or 23 miles out, to where the tote road is completed. Several hotels are in contemplation or under construction along the line, and the proprietors generally seem to expect to secure licenses. The first log hotel is about 12 miles out. The next one is at the summit, about 18 miles out, and is already doing business. Another Jog hotel is accommodating the traveling public on the line about 25 miles from Brooklyn. Cascade City has been picking up wonderfully since the assurance of the railway line. A new hotel has just been opened up, and several stores have come in. In order to accommodate the building operations the local saw mill is running over time. Business is good in all lines, and the indications are that the place will be one of some little importance in a short time. Mr. Milne went over the line with a view to securing some contracts. WORKING BROOKLYN MINE. Force ot Men and Supplies Sent to the Prdberty. W. C. Copper left on Monday with a force of men to do development work on the Brooklyn 'mine, located about three miles from this city on Bull Dog mountain. A full stock of supplies was packed out to the claim, sufficient to last for some time, and the work will be conducted on a thorough, systematic basis. This is one of the promising claims ot this section and its owners have every reason to believe they have a good thing in this copper property. Negotiations are pending for the sale of an interest in the Golden Spoon claim located a short time ago by George Olson in the Burnt Basin district. The samples from this property appear to have high values in silver. Hotel on the Summit. A. J. Jackson and A. P. Cum- mings, who are putting up a hotel on the second summit, left for that point Wednesday morning. The hotel will be known as the Summit House and will have good accommodations for freighters generally. Both Mr. Jackson and Mr. Cum- mings are old hands at the business and are well and favorably known. They will doubtless do a good business. The hotel is located 17 miles from Brooklyn and will be a convenient stopping place. New Canadian Postal Notes. Officials of the money order branch at Ottawa have completed arrangements of the postal note system, and three denominations are now on hand. There will be 16 denominations, ranging from 20 cents to $5,00, but owing to the delay in printing them it is impossible to issue all at the same time. The commission will be one cent on all orders up to 40 cents, 2 cents up to $2,50 and three cents up to $5. The new Canadian special delivery stamps are now ready to be issued. The use of these stamps will insure an immediate delivery of letters, providing the recipient is a resident of a city in which there is a delivery system. In other places the special delivery letters will be delivered in the quickest way possible. The stamp costs 10 cents but the letter must have the ordinary postage upon it. Ten cents in ordinary stamps will not answer the purpose of the special stamp. This system is similar lo the one in use in the United States for several years past. Everything neat and clean.

Improvements have been made about the place that have rendered it more pleasant to live and do business in and altogether more desirable. In the meantime, also, an excellent water system has been introduced and mains laid in the public thoroughfares. Gas has been introduced in many business houses, snd the city continues to grow generally. While business has been better the past week, there is no doubt but that it will greatly improve after the 20th of the month, when the first full pay day on the line of construction will take place. The News will hazzard the prediction that within a month business in Brooklyn will be brisk enough to suit the most fastidious. A good sized grist of election protests have been filed with government at Victoria. In fact, if there is any candidate on either side, who was defeated by a close vote, and has not entered a protest, he could make a fortune exhibiting himself as a freak. Evidently there will be a genteel sufficiency of fun ahead along this line. Even our own Fred Hume, whose majority was only 15, is having his right to his seat in the provincial legislature disouted by A. S. Farwell, his opponent. 4 1-2 6 7 8 10 '3 H '7 18 23 HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. Penny postage between the United Kingdom, Canada, Newfoundland, Cape Colony, Natal, and such of the colonies as may, after communication with and the approval of Her Majesty's government be willing to adopt it, is now a reality, says the Vancouver World. This is another triumph for Canadian states manship, for it is acknowledged by Mr. Henniker Heaton, M. P., who has used persistent efforts to secure postal reform that its accomplishment was mainly due to three statesmen, Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Sir Wilfred Laurier and Hon. Win. Mulock, postmaster general of Canada. The latter took the initiative and had the honor of moving the resolution to secure this boon to the people of the empire. Mr. J. G. Col- mer, secretary to Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, High Commissioner for Canada, says that in ad- dititon to the benefit of cheaper communication the Dominion has received sucHan advertisement as will bring her prominently before the notice of the whole world and further, that Australia will have to join the other colonies or else change her motto "Advance Australia." The press of Great Britain also speaks in glowing terms of this measure and is not backward in attributing a large degree of statesmanship which brought it about to the Canadian represctatives at the postal congress. Nevertheless certain of our papers, which are jealously opposed to any reform the government may propose, have decried the fact that our fellow country men have heen the leading factors in securing this important legislation for Britain and her colonies. Now that the truth of the matter is clearly set forth by the Imperial authoiities it is hoped that, for the sake of justice and fair play to all concerned, theyjwill accord to Canada that measure of praise which is due her representatives for impressing so emphatically upon the home officials the necessity and advantage of the great change in postal rates which has now been so happily consummated. GOVERNMENT CHANGE. BRIGHT PROSPECTS. It is now universally conceded that the prospects for the future of Brooklyn and its energetic citizens are exceedingly bright. Within the Lieutenant Governor Mclnnes has cut the Gordian Knot of politics and called on Robert Beaven, a former premier, to form a new government. Mr. Beaven has undertaken the difficult task, and seems confident, according to the dispatches, of being able to form a strong organization with plenty of vigorous new blood. There does not seem, at the same time, to be any disposition to form a coalition with either of the old parties. Premier Turner and his cabinet was asked to resign, and has replied that he will test at Ottawa the constitutionality of the action taken, and if necessary, to remove the lieutenant governor from office. One feature of the new move that does not commend itself is the fact that W. B. B. Mclnnes, son of the governor, is slated already for the attorney generalship, Returns from Cassiar are finally all received and show that the Turner forces swept the entire district, giving the government 19 votes out of 38, including the two independents. The entire province will closely watch the next moves on each side, which appears to be a bitter fight between the contending forces. The chances are that another appeal will be taken to the country before long. Ernest Terah Hooley, the London company promoter, who has lately come to financial grief, is a bird. Talk about rottenness in Denmark; why, Hooley could give the average schemer cards and spades and then beat him at his own game. He spent from ^80,- 000 to ^125,000 on earls, barons, etc., in getting the use of their names on the directorates of his various companies. As for the press, that incorruptible London press, they did not do a thing to him. The editor of the Financial News received $50,000, though many other journalists were lower priced. There must have been some profit in the newspaper business in London during Hooley's reign. The end of the "Yanko-Spanko" war is in sight, the preliminaries for peace negotiations are already in hand and it is only a question of detail now. The haughty Don has got a gigantic debt, has lost his fine navy, thousands of gallant soldiers and sailors, and his "honor" has been vindicated. The United States has been piling up a war debt at the rate of $2,000,000 per day and has lost many a brave man. It is well that the war is over, though its effects will indeed be far reaching. From Tuesday, October 5th, to Saturday, October 15, the Spokane Fruit Fair will be held. This will be the fifth annual show of this kind, and unusually extensive preparations are being made to make it the greatest, most interesting and most successful of these fall gatherings ever held. Henry Bolster is again manager of the big show, which is of itself a guarantee of its success. Vancouver did the proper thing a few days ago when it entertained the pencil pushers of Wisconsin and Michigan. And the C. P. R. was also in line, being the hosts of the editors across the continent. Its a paying proposition every time to treat a party of eastern editors well. No better advertising could possibly be done at any price. The American railways have been trying to coerce the C. P. R. into an adjustment of rates, which have been demoralized for months. But the big Dominion line is not built that way. All it asks is the fair thing���a reasonable differential. Threats by the American roads do not seem to scare the C. P. R. worth a cent. The name of the so called "Spokane route" to the Klondike should be changed to the "hard luck" route���as that especially describes it. Not one in ten who struggled over it arc likely to reach their destination, according to the latest reports, and the balance stand a good chance of starving to death. Kootenay can offer better opportunities, many times over, to the average man, than the ice bound Yukon. Give it the same amount of energy and capital as the Klondike and the Kootenays will leave the former far behind in the amount of annual production of precious metals. It is reported that Sir William Mulock, postmaster general of the Dominion of Canada, is to be knighted. While Sir William is in a pleasant frame of mind over it, he ought to be shown what prehistoric, antediluvian mail service the several thousand who receive letters in Brooklyn have to put up with. Brooklyn is on a firm footing now, and should have a regularly established postoflice. This the News believes will be an accomplished fact some of these fine summer mornings, There was such a demand for the News last week that a second edition had to be printed. The News is growing more popular every day, we are pleased to note, but there is yet room on our subscription books for a few more names, If you think it's a good thing, push it along. An eas tern editor is authority for the statement that Bismarck, whose sick room diet was beer, champaign and tobacco, lived about as long, and had many times as much fun as Gladstone, who lived so methodically and painfully. Spain has concluded to accept Uncle Sam's terms of peace and details arc now to be arranged. This is the first grain of common sense that the Dons have shown since the good battleship was sent to Davy Jones' locker. Scarcity ot Men. The Canadian Pacific railway officials report a scarcity of men on the work of construction between Arrow lake and Boundary, says the Rossland Miner. J. F. Stevens, chief engineer for the contractors, has stated that until the contractors could have some assurance that the supply of men could be increased no effort would be made to scatter the work, but that it would be concentrated on the worst portions of the road during the good weather. He expected to have about 2,000 men at the summit near the North Fork early in August and possibly at other points on the Boundary side of the divide. Mr, Stevens was one of the chief engineers for the Great Northern railway, but resigned his position to accept that of chief engineer for the contractors. Kaslo & Slocan R'y TIML CARD.

His host of friends will greatly regret this misfortune. E. F. Burns, of Burns Kcjordon, who have a rock contract between here and Robson, was in town Tuesday. About 125 men are employed by the firm but they could easily use 150 more. Tuesday afternoon the first wagon loads of supplies were sent out to Burns & Jordan's new contract on the main tote road. The camp wilt be located about 25 miles out and two miles beyond Olson's. The work consists of two miles of rock cutting and will give employment to a large number of men. Ten miles from Christina lake, on the tote road trail, a Cascade city man is putting up a hotel, built principally of dressed cedar. At McRae's Landing, the Christina lake terminus of the tote road trail, Mr. McRae is building a log store which will soon be ready for business. Genelle's steam tug Fawn came up this lake Monday evening from the site of the new mill now build- nig four miles from Robson and returned next day. During the last week the forces at all the camps have been materially increased and more men are coming in all the time. Part of the machinery has arrived for Genelle's new saw mill near Robson and in a few days will be turning out dimension timbers fur the numerous bridges along the line A lot of lumber for roofing was taken down from Brooklyn. Work on the new C. P. R. machine shops has begun at Revelstoke and will be steadily prosecuted till they are fully finished, which will be about October next. The buildings will be very substantial. Then the C. P. R. will have established at Revelstoke railway interests that many a young city would give large bonuses and long tax exemptions Io obtain. L. M. LIVINGSTON fi COMPANY.

TURNER OUT Robert Beaven Called to Form a New Cabinet. MR. MclNNES DOES IT Lieutenant Governor Thinks An Independent Can Form a Satisfactory Government Victoria, B. C, August 8.���The lieutenant governor today called upon Robert Beaven to form a new provincial government, and Mr. Beaven has undertaken the task, it is understood that the lieutenant governor acted on his own responsibility in the matter. Mr. Beaven has not been a member of the legislature since 1894, when he was deftated at the general elections. At the election just held he was again defeated in Victoria, where he stood as an independent. Mr. Beaven was minister of lands and works from 1872 to 1876, finance minister from 1878 to 1882, and premier from 1882 to 1883, when his ministry resigned. THE REASON WHY. Lieutenant Governor Mclnnis has intimated in an interview that the reason for his course of action was respect for the present government. He says that it appeared to him that the result of the elections did not show sufficient confidence on the part of the people to justify the government in making further expenditures or appointments and that on the 14th of July he notified the premier to that effect. The government, however, kept on its usual course, So this morning the lieutenant governor asked for the resignation of the ministry. Since the opposition did not appear to be united on any leader he had sent for Mr. Beaven. It is understood that Mr. Beaven will ask for and be granted an immediate dissolution. Mr. Beaven is an independent, says an exchange, but at present is not a member of the legislature. He is, however, one of the best known men in British Columbia politics, having resided in the province for many years. He came to the Pacific coast in crown colony days and since his arrival has played an important part in the government of this province. Until 1894 he was a member of every parliament since confederation. Mr. Beaven was premier of British Columbia from June 13, 1882 to January 30, 1883, when he was succeeded by Hon. William Smithe. But as early as December, 1872, he held the portfolio, that of lands and works in the Walkem ministry. The defeat of his party in 1883 placed Mr. Beaven and his followers in opposition, and, as a natural consequence, the once leader of the government became the leader of the opposition. T!ie Beaven party continued in opposition until its leader was defeated at the polls in the 1894 elections. He was then succeeded by C. A. Semlin, the present leader of the opposition. It will thus be seen that Mr. Beaven occupies a unique position today in British Columbia politics. He is not the head of any recognized party at the time he is called upon to form a government, but it is evidently the opinion of Lieutenant Governor Mclnnes that he is the only man available to do so and avoid a general appeal to the country. That he will endeavor to build up an administration with men from both sides ol the house is almost a certainty, and it is safe to say that there will be a general shifting around politically, the outcome of which it is at present impossible to predict. The public may, however, rely on Mr. Beaven surrounding himself with the ablest men available, for he is a shrewd and able statesman and parliamentarian. His, in all probability will be a strong government and one composed of men of long residence in the province. In opposition Mr. Beaven gained a reputation for his very pronounced ideas of economy in all matters of public expenditure, and it may be expected by some that he will not pursue a particularly progressive policy for the general development of the natural resources of the province, but as such a policy is absolutely necessary the Miner is not at all uneasy on that point. THE OBSERVATORY. This beats any camp I was ever in, for good order and the observance of Sunday, and I have railroaded for twenty-five years. "That's what she does," remarked a prominent citizen to the Observer last Monday. And he was not alone in this opinion, either, Brooklyn certainly is an orderly place, especially when one considers the number of people that are gathered together here fiom all quarters. Where can another place be found of similar population and like character, that shows up as favorably? This state of affairs is undoubtedly due in large measure to the watchfulness of Constable Forrester and his capable assistants, backed by the excellent laws of the province. Brooklyn is certainly making a good record. Let her keep it up. As a rule the average man has not lost any bears, either when he is out in the hills or otherwise. But apparently there are times when bruin thinks differently, and proceeds forthwith to argue the point, generally to the discomfiture of the individual being hunted. Last Sunday one of the men returning from a tie camp, about ten miles out, concluded that he had lost a bear and finished an immense fellow in short order, that attempted to dispute his way. There have been a good many bears seen out along the line, but they seem to have some discretion, for usually they make themselves scarce on the ap- proac of anyone. "There are three classes of men that can be found in a railroad construction camp," said an old railroader to the Observer this week, "There are the coming, the going and the working. And the first two classes always number a larger percentage than many people would believe. There must be one- third of the laborers who are constantly on the move; that is, going out to the camps to work. They wsrk awhile in one place and then come to town to spend their earnings in what they call a good time, when they will seek work once more". An investigation by the Observer at the offices of the contractors in this city showed that this unique state of affaii s does generally exist in fact, and that of the 4,000 men expected soon to be employed, at least 1,000 are anticipated to be continually on the "com- in g and going" list. "A good many people over in the Christina lake and in the Boundary country do not even yet believe that the C. P. R. is coming over there," said a gentleman who had just returned from that section, to the Observer the other day. "There has been so much talk," he continued, "in that district for the last three or four years about railway building, and so much published along that line, that some have become skeptical on the subject." If a lew of the doubting Thomases referred to could drop down in Brooklyn for a day or two they would see such activity in construction circles as would convince them even against their wills. And if they will travel over here on the tote road, by the time they arrive they will be ready to return again and begin to prepare for the good times sure to come soon in that country, as a sequence of the rail line now under process of construction.
