Pursuant to previous announcement, Hon. Joseph Martin, accompanied by the Minister of Mines,
Hon. Smith Curtis, arrived here on
the noon train Wednesday. Immediately on their arrival, they
were escorted to Laurel Ridge, the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. K.
Stocker, where a most excellent
luncheon was hurridly partaken
of, as the campaigners were scheduled for appearance in Grand Forks
in the evening. A large number of
the citizens of Cascade were present
at the station to greet the distinguished candidates on their arrival.
After luncheon the party repaired
to Montana hall where many voters
were anxiously awaiting the appearance of the speakers. It had
been intended that Mr. Stanley
Mayall should preside at the meeting and introduce the candidates,
but that gentleman, having returned on the same train from
Rossland with the speakers, had
been unavoidably detained at his
home, and the visitors being exceedingly anxious to hasten the
proceedings owing to their limited
time, Judge Rochussen was called
to preside, which he did in a very
acceptable manner. Hon. Mr. Martin was the first speaker. In a complete refutation of the misrepresentations of the opposition pies* and
politicians, and an exhaustive explanation of the policy of the government, the Premier, who was cordially received, first dealt with the
redistribution matter. He stated his
attitude on that issue had been in
support of it until he discovered
duplicity in relation to it on the
part of his colleague.', and it wus
to he made a political plaything to
avoid defeat. Continuing he dwelt
upon the dangers of the Mongolian
invasion, aud resented the action of
the Dominion government iu in-
,�� fringing upon provincial rights by
disallowing legislation affecting
Chinese and Japanese labor. Several of his references to the course
of the Laurier government in yielding lo the requests of the Imperial
authorities on this question were
warmly applauded. Mr. Martin
also explained his Coast-to-Midway
monopoly here as he had done in
Manitoba. Concluding, he maintained the provincial assembly had
the right to charter a railway to
tho Boundary line. He said Jim
Hill was willing and had been invited hy the government to invade the Boundary district. Hon.
Smith Curtis followed Mr. Martin,
and delivered an instructive and
winning speach, in which he must
have convinced his hearers that he
was sincere iii all he said, and
meant to do his very best, if elected,
to aid in giving the people a stable,
honorable and progressive government. He enlarged upon the subject of appropriations for the building of roads, trails and bridges for
the benefit of pioneer settlers, and
if he was elected, bis department of
the government, would not be administered in the interest of a few
favorites, and road building would
not be done in odd patches 10 pacify
the clamor of one individual, hut it
would be complete and thorough
where undertaken. His remarks
were heartily approved.
Only one little incident cccured
at the meeting to excite special
comment. Mr. John Simpson, tbe
Principle of the Cascade Public
school, interrogated Mr. Martin relative to the laws forbidding gambling, and inquired why he did not
show more of a desire to enforce the
laws. Mr. Martin, supposing the
question to have been propounded
by an opponent for the purpose of
entangling him in a difficulty which
would tend to his disadvantage and
result in no good to any one, gave
Mr. Simpson a short and unsatisfactory answer, which resulted in
a further demand 011 the part of
the latter. The speaker replied in a
very displeasing manner to Mr.
Simpson, and not altogether satisfactory to the audience, though the
retort caused some merriment,
whereat Mr. Simpson threatened to
nip Mr. Martin's political aspirations in the  hud hy voting against
A MAY-DAY DEATH SCENE
this Vicinity.
Cascade townsite, where it is not
occupied, is one mass of wild strawberry plants, and these are not confined to the city alone, but the
broad fields over are covered with
ihe white blossoms.which have been
in bloom for the past few weeks,
adding beauty to the enchanting
scene of revivified Nature. Down
in the Cascade mountains in Oregon, on the 0. II. & N. Co's line, is
a flourishing little town named
Hood River. It is a strawberry
town; it is noted all over the United
States for the wonderful strawberry
products of its vicinity, the annual
output amounting to from $40,000
to $50,000. The town is prosperous
and growing steadily and rapidly,
the contiguous lands being almost
wholly devoted to the cultivation,
of the strawberry,which is really
its only resource. Where wild fruts
and berries thrive without irrigation or cultivation,certainly the domestic varieties would prosper much
more abundantly under thut sort of
assistance. There is no question
but thut strawberry culture could
be developed into a moot profitable
indiiMiy and be the means of bringing prosperity and wealth to this
ci'ininuiiilv.

ONLY 137 BODIES RECOVERED SO FAR
Schofleld was the Scene of the Appalling Disaster���The Men Choked by Fire Damp
and Burned to Death.
The English language cannot describe the appalling disaster which
occurred at Schotield, Utah, at 10:25
a. m. May 1, by an explosion in
mine No. 4 of the Pleasant Valley
Coal company, and by which nearly 200 men und upwards lost their
lives. Nearly that number of bodies
have been recovered and the work
of icscue is proceeding, and will
continue until all the bodies are
brought to the surface.
There were 250 men at work ii>
the two mines, Nos. 1 and 4. The
explosion is supposed to have occurred in No. 4 and extended hy a,
connection to No. 1. The men in
No. 1 were choked. Tnose in No. 4
were burned and crushed. The cause
of the explosion is attributed to the-
blowing up of a number of kegs of
blasting powder. The scene at the-
mine beggars description. The-
work of rescue is going on anil
everything possible is being done to-
relieve the suffering and ascertain
the number of dead.
The theory is that the explosion
occurred hy powder being currieiK
into the mine by the workmen.
The work of reseuo was delayed-'
by after-damp, the dead being piled
up in heaps, indicating that they
hail prepared for death from dump,,
which they knew was inevitable.
Great Powers Becoming Anarchists.

order to divert the traffic of the upper lakes from Montreal to Buffalo,.
il looks different. It is a known
fuel that in the great railroad strike-
a few years ago, the railway companies centering in Chicago destroyed their own property, charged
the crime on the strikers, turned
public sentiment in their favor by
so doing, aud collected damages
amounting to two or three times

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OP RAILWAYS.
Some persons in British Columbia appear to hold the opinion that
those who advocate the government
ownership of railways are advocating a new and revolutionary
scheme, that has scarcely ever been
tried in any country in the world.
Such persons, however, hold an entirely erroneous opinion on this
question, as, in many of the civilized countries of the world at the
present time, the government ownership of railways exists.
Among the great colonies of the
British Empire, Canada is the only
one in which tbe people do not
strongly believe in owning their
own railways. All the railways of
Victoria, Australia, which have a
total length of 3129 miles, belong
to the government. In New South
Wales the government ownes 2707
miles of railways, and will probably acquire all the railways iu the
colony in time. In Queensland all
the railways are owned by the
government, and they have a
total length of 2742 miles. In
South Australia the government
does not own all the railways, but
it owns 1742 miles of them, which
is a large percentage of the total
mileage.
The people of Australia are not
alone, however, among British colonists, in their belief in the government ownership of railways. In
New Zealand the government owns
more than 2000 miles of railways.
The government of Natal owns 524
miles of railways, and the government of Cape Colony about 2000
miles. In India also the government owns railways to a large
extent.
It will thus he seun that, among
all the large colonies and dependencies of the British Empire, Canada alone has failed to build and
own its railways to any great extent. At least, the Canadian people
fail to own their own railways to
any great extent. It cannot be
truthfully said, however that the
people of Canada have not built
them, as they have heen built to a
large extent by money taken out of
the public treasury, and have then
been handed to corporations as
gifts.
The British Empire is, however,
not the only part of the world in
which railways are owned by the
governments. In Germany the
government owns more than 25,000
miles of railways out of a total of
less than 29,000 miles. For some
of these railways the German government had to pay far more than
their real value, us they bad to pay
for watered stock, which had heen
raised by artificial means to a high
market value. Notwithstanding
this fact, the government annually
obtains a large -income from the
railways after paying all expenses.
The French government has taken
steps by which the railways of that
country will in time become the
property of the nation. The railways of Russia, Austria, Italy, Japan, Hungary, Belgium, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Chili, Peru and a
number of other countries, belong
either wholly or in part to the governments of the countries mentioned. It is absurd, therefore, for
some of the opponents of government ownership of railways in this
province, to speak of the scheme as
visionary and unworthy of the attention of practical men.

TOWN AND BOUNDARY NOTES.
J. W.Stewart and Patrick Welch
have been in Greenwood this week
with a view to securing a contract
on the construction work of the
Phoenix-Greenwood tramway.
A. 6. Pemberton has resigned
the office of Sheriff of Yale, and his
successor is Mr. C. Tunstall, of
Kamloops. Mr. Pemberton has for
many years filled this position
with much acceptance to the public.
Ernest Bunting, as evidence of
his piscatorial achievements the
other day. handed into the Record
office a nice lot of white fish caught
in the Kettle River, intimating
that the editor needed  brain   food.
Dr. W. Lambert, of Grand Forks,
was a visitor in Cascade Monday
evening and Tuesday morning. He
viewed the construction works of
the Cascade Water Power and
Light Co., and expressed himself as
surprised at the immense magnitude of the same.
Mr. and Mrs T. R. Wilson, from
Waitsburg, Wash., are visiting with
ihe familips of Messrs Bell and
Duncan in Bossburg, proprietors of
the stage line between that town
and Cascade. Mrs Wilson is a sister of Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Duncan.
They expect to locate in that vicinity.
The regular passenger train on
the Columbia & Western branch of
the C. P. R., running through Cascade, is now composed of three
coaches instead of two, as formerly.
As they appear to be well filled
with passengers, it is fair to presume that the travel to and from
the Boundary is increasing.

NOTE AND COMMENT.
British Columbia newspapers
making a persona! fight against
Hon. Joseph Martin, judging from
the flimsy pretexts raised against
his government railway plank, may
not unjustly be accused of being
"spellbound" by the C. P. R. hypnotists, for surely many of them
reveal tbe cloven foot. The colonist, for instance, cites the Intercolonial railway as an example of
the result of government ownership,
and apologizes for doing so by saying: "The Intercolonial was not
built as a speculation, nor for the
purpose of giving the public lower
freight rates than they could otherwise enjoy, but because Nova Scotia
and New Brunswick flatly declined
to enter the Union unlesb this line
was built." As a matter af fact,
opposition to the plank referred to
is mainly hy private railway corporations already iu existence, who
fear the beneficial effect it would
have for ihu people were it con-
struceil as contemplated, and mire
greatly dread the precedent it would
establish. The most powerful mo-
liopoiy (onibinttlions in the province are arrayed against Martin,
and it will be a hug, s< rrowi'n! day
for tbe common people, if they uie
beguiled into casting their votes
for the big cinch games of the kid-
gloved gentry.

Since Julyl, 1898,the Philippine
vinr has caused the loss of 2,256
lives, beside the seed it has sown
for disease and fulure deaths.
We understand there is a movement on foot in New York City,
looking toward organization and
capitalization of a Burnt Basin
mining property, and that the
proposition is already, well advanced. We shall shortly be at
liberty to give full particulars.
Frank Fletcher, C. P. R. Land
Agent at Nelson, has been nominated by the conservatives to represent that riding in the local legislature. This demonstrates where
the conservative party in that section of the country stands, and also
*bows where the C. P. R is looking
���for useful friends to place in the
(legislature.
That old grannie publication
down by the sad sea waves, the
Colonirt, should be superannuated.
It says the government ownership
of railways idea is a vagary! We
suggest that it give Mr. John Simp-
ton's article on the third page of
this issue a careful perusal, if the
Colonist can refute the statements
therein made, its assertion that
government ownership of railways
is a vagary, might have some
weight.
The anti-Martin newspaper scrib-
. biers are trying to make capital
for their employers by charging
that Martin says the eight-hour law
is a dead issue. That issue is settled so fur as the country is immediately concerned, hut should the
forces opposing Martin get into
power, they will open the old sore
hy repealing the law. This would
be unfortunate for the country, and
voters should keep this point in
mind. The business of the whole
province would suffer greatly if this
troublesome question is  re-opened.
James Dyke, formerly a pioneer
citizen of Cascade, but for the past
three years a resident of Republic,
Wash., was making a call on his
oil-time acquaintances here a few
days this week, having come in on
a bike. When he left here there
were but two or three buildings in
town, and he was surprised to find
so large a place as this has grown
to be. Speaking of the incorporation election to be held next Tuesday, in his town, he said the opposition to incorporation of the city
was quite formidable and would
probably defeat the proposition.
Mr. Smith Curtis enjoys the endorsement of all the Liberal clubs
and Labor organizations in this,
his, riding, und his chances for
being successful in the coming election are very promising.
The Dominion government will
act wisely to go slow with its pro-
pauper labor policy. British Columbia labor organizations should
touch up their co-workers in the
east on this proposition.
BRIEF LOCAL MENTION.
Mr. Scott, the barbar, with his
family and business, have moved
across the street near the Roma
Hotel.
G. J. Simmons dropped a chisel
on his left foot the fore part of the
week and has since been walking
with a limp.
Mrs Chas. Kinney, formerly a
resident of this place, and still a
property holder here, has been a
guest of Mrs. G. K. Stocker this
week.
Joseph Tiefenthaer wus in town
from Republic to-day. He owns
mining properties in that place,
Curlew, and Deadman's Creek.
Al. Peone, *>f Rossland, begun
assessment work this week on his
group of claims, the Alphonse,
Broken Hill, Ski, Nancy Hunks
and others, on Shamrock mountain. Sam Handy took up a pm-k
train of supplies Monday.
Admiral Dewey, ut Chicago's
grout ball given in his honor, said
he was not a Briton-huter. "The
one man who stood at my back
during those trying days was an
Englishman," said Dewey, speaking of the Manila bay affair.
Mr. D. D. Ferguson has received
word from Rev. Mr. McCoy, who
has been in correspondence with
Rev. Mr. Gandier, to the effect that
the Presbyterian pulpit will be supplied in the person of Mr. K. W.
Barton, of Knox College, Toronto.
It was expected that Mr. Knox
would arrive here to-day.
The warm weather of the past!
week has had the effect to melt the
snow in the mountains, which has
resulted in high water in the Kettle
river, In fact work on the big tunnel under the railroad here had to
he suspended yesterday, until the
water recedes.
Lust Sunday a number of Cus-
cade's citizens enjoyed a trip up
Christina lake on the Myrtle B.,
and all reported having had nn exceedingly pleasant time. Among
the events of the occasion most
talked of was the catching of a species of inland seuserpent by Wm.
Milne.
Mr. Thomas Parker, secretary of
Central Liberal club of this riding,
with headquarters at Rossland, has
heen appointed returning officer for
the riding. He was in Cascade
Thursday, on a tour through the
Boundary, for the purpose of securing polling places and appointing
deputy election officers.
Mr. F. Gribi, of the Cascade meat
market, considering the many obstacles he is forced lo contend with,
is deserving not only of commendation, but of all the local patronage.
He experiences great difficulty in
the matter of getting his supply
promptly, much of which oweing
to light, patronage, he is often compelled to lose. His meats must be
shipped in by express, the Dominion Express Co's rates being ex
cessively high, his profits are reduced. Then again, with a single
exception, perhaps, the largest meat
consumers, having no interest in
the town, go outside to buy, thereby
possibly saving a few cents. Let
us patronize home industry and
keep the town moving.
J. W. Stewart, of the C. P. R.
Contracting department, and well
known here, was a passenger on
the west bound train Tuesday. He
wus gi-ing up the road to look after
mining interests.
Summit City, in Summit camp,
had a narrow escape from a terrific
explosion hy the near approach of
a brush fire to powder and dynamite magazines of the B. C. mine,
the other day.
Who Lost the Watch.
Found���a watch; on the road between Cascade and English Point.
Owner can recover the same by applying to the Postmaster at English
Point and paying for this notice.
A prominent party of railroad
officials were in Greenwood the other day. The party included W.
Cross, of Winnipeg, master mechanic of the Canadian Pacific; F.
E. Hohbs, of Revelstoke, master
mechanic of the Pacific division; R.
Mee, traveling engineer for the Pacific division with head quarters at
Vancouver, and J. T. Lawrence,
train master of the Columbia &
Western. In the morning they were
shown over the smelter by Superintendent Paul Johnson, and expressed themselves as delighted
with what they saw. H. 1). Wil-
uress, who has heen in charge of
the C. P. H. land department ut
Greenwood, has gone to Neison,
where he is slated for a higher position. His successor for the Boundary has not yet heen appointed by
the land commissioner.
Phoenix was startled early Thursday morning by an explosion of
75 pounds of dynamite, in a small
log building about 400 feet from
No. 1 old shaft house on the Old
Ironsides. Frank Clengrener,standing 20 feet away, was seriously
hurt.

CURRENT INFORMATION.
The shingle trust, composed of
nearly 300 shingle mills in western
Washington, has been broken by
the refusal of the big mills to continue shut down. All mills will
accordingly resume business at
once. Prices have slumped 10 to
15 per cent per 1000. It is believed
that eastern dealers have been
standing together in their determination not to buy from the trusts
at prevailing increased prices.
The Imperial government has
decided to give 24 out of the 44
commissions to lie granted to
Canadians in the regular army to
officers and non-commissioned
officers serving in South Africa.
Six com missions will be given to
Canadian gentlemen who, with the
fourteen which have been given to
the royal military college, Kingston,
will make 44 in all. Lord Roberts
will send the names of the 24 of
these in South Africa whom he
recommend!1 as candidates for commissions.
The report <>f the Ontario minister of education for the year 1899

The salaries of public school teachers are decreasing. The average
salary last year was #321, and for
1898,1324. The profession is being
monopolized hy women to a large
extent. Last year of 8,000 teachers,
5,800 were women, an increase of
123, and 2,056 were men, ii decrease
of 36.   At the late tearhers' conven
tion in Toronto, Hon. Mr. Har-
court intimated that the age limit
for candidates for the profession

jewels of old crowns.
A Major Hook of the East India
Company service, in London was

IS THE OTTAWA GOVERNMENT  AWARE
Oi the Consequences of Its "Disallowance"
Action?
Kaslo, B. C, April 28.���Premier
Martin sprang a mild sensation at
his meeting here last night. Discussing the recent disallowance of
legislation pa ��ed l>y the Semlin
government 1899   to   restrict
Oriental imi ration, he noted
thai the liqtio. nse act had been
disallowed at Ottawa, because it
provided that no license to sell
liquor should he given to any Jap
or Chinaman. "By this disallowance," said Martin, "all our affairs
are thrown into most absolute confusion. By th.nt action there are no
liquor licences in this province outside of city municipalities. Every
person who is selling liquor in unincorporated localities under* the
proper form issued by the province
is liable to a fine under the old
laws, which are revived, because he
has really got. no license; and there
is no way of giving the owners of
hotels throughout the province any
protection whatever until the legislature meets on Julv 5.
The new Spokane Train Schedule.
Trains will arrive at 10:10 in the
morning, bringing passengers from
both the east and west. The train
arriving at 5 p. m. will give fast
service from the east. The morning train will leave the city at 8:10,
making connections with both the
east and west. The afternoon train
will leave at 3:40 for both east and
west. The Coeur d'Alene train will
leave at 3:40 p. m., and returning
will arrive at 5 p. m.
The new time card for the Spo-
jkane Falls & Northern railway,
j which went into effect Monday
morning is out. The train will
leave Spokane at 10:20 in the morning, instead of the former time8:15,
arriving at Nelson at 7:35 p. tn.
and at Rossland at 5:15 p.m. Returning it will leave Nelson at9:15,
Rossland at 11:45, and arrive in
Spokane at 6:30 in the evening, 15

The labor organizations of Vancouver have expressed their approval of Premier Martin's platform.
The rabid partizans of Phoenix
no longer have reason to complain
of its non-partizan local paper, the
Pioneer. Last week, in its editorial
columns, it actually inserted a question mark in parenthasis���showing
that while saying one thing it
meant another.
The most serious matter to contemplate in thic campaign is the
undeniable fact that if Mr. Martin
is defeated, a pro-railroad, pro-Chinese and Japanese conbination
will be placed in power, and a long
and disastrous labor war will distract the country. If the Mcintosh platform means anything, it
promises to submit to all the demands of monopoly combination.
Martin, with all the antagonism he
can inject into the situation, could
bring no more discomforture upon
the country than will come to
it through the political schemers
seeking his defeat, if given the reins
of government.

LUMBER WILL 00 UP.
Ottawa-Hull Fire Will Have That Effect on the
Market,
New York. April 28. ��� Lewis
Anell, president of the Export
Lumber Company, of New York,
Boston and Ottawa, which company had a million dollars worth of
its lumber burned in the Ottawa
fire, was interviewed as follows:
"The destruction of the large
amount of white pine lumber-at Ottawa, which is reported as amounting to from 150,000,000 to 200,000,-
000 feet, together with loss of mill
capacity of between 200,000,000
and 250,000,000 feet per annum
will have a greater effect upon the
white pine and spruce lumber markets than it would have at any
other period within the past ten
years. Not only does it take out of
the market for the next twelve
months over 400,000,000 feet of
lumber, principally white pine, but
it does this at a time when the demand was increasing altogether out
of proportion to the available supply."        	
The passenger trains on the Spo-/
kane Falls & Northern now meet
at Meyers Falls. A dining car has
been placed on the train, thus entirely doing away with eating stations and making a saving of 30
minutes on the run between Spokane and Northport.
