TEE SOCIAL EVENT OF THE SEASON. The (lathering at the Residence of D. D. Ferguson Tuesday Night a Delightful Affair. Last Tuesday night the friends of Mr. D. D. Ferguson, to the number of between twenty-five and thirty, gathered at his residence on east Third Avenue, ou social pleasure bent, aud to say they were not disappointed is to tell only half of the truth. It was one of the most successful and pleasureable occasions of this character which has taken place iu this city for a long time. After nearly four hours of games intermingled with social con'versaion, ane listening to, the highly skillful performances of Mr. K. W. Barton, on his violin, which was one of the most delightful and entertaining features of the evening, the guests sat down to an elegant and delicious luncheon, to which they did ample justice, and which was presided over by mine host Mr. D. D. Ferguson. The party did not disperse till 12 M., or after, all present expressing themselves as heartily pleased with the results of the event. As near as can be remembered, the following townspeople were present: Mr. and Mrs. J. H. McDonald, " " " Paul Rochussen, ��� " " " G. K. Stocker, " " " T. E. Mahaffy, " " " William Walling, " " " Roderick McRae, " " " H. S. Turner, Mrs. T. F. Carden, Miss Kate Cameron, Miss Sophia Darrow, Rev. K. W. Barton, Mr. Geo. C. Rose, " Robert Kelman, " R. G.

The Dominion Supply store reports a continuous good run of business. Herbert L. Sawyer and Nellie I. Boone were married at Midway April 28. If your clock or watch needs repairing, leave your order at this office and we will see that it is attended to. Postoffice Inspector Dorman is visiting the offices in the Boundary district this week. He will open new offices at Summit City and White's camp. G. J. {Simmons and J. G. Rives have been on a prospecting tour in the Burnt Basin this week, and may be absent from Cascade two weeks or more. Work in the tunnel of the raceway now under construction by the Cascade Water Power Co. is still btiug prosecuted with great energy, considering the ob- stables imposed by high water iu the Kettle river. Picking wild strawberries has been a pleasant pastime for many local people during the past two weeks. In the near future the cultivation of the domestic strawberry plant iu this vicinity will enrich all who engage iu that enterprise. The attention of the Record readers is directed to the upper left-hand comer of the 5th page of this issue. The houses there mentioned are of reliable standing aud deserving of your patronage when you find it necessary to do shopping in Grand Forks. The railroad authorities, to guard against fire, removed the fence under the long bridge which protected the Chinaman's vegetable garden from the devastating presence of the town cow. The result is the said soil-tiller has fewer vegetable and more sorrow. Fred. Gribi, of the local meat market, is an incessant worker, and is to be grat- ulated upon the nice appearance of the lot upon which his residence stands. The entire surface of the lot is highly improved by cultivation and the planting of vegetables, berry plants and fruit trees, the whole being surrounded by substantial hen-proof fencing. Thos.' Price, some time since appointed road overseer in this district, and who has been engaged the past few weeks ou the wagon roads west of here, has this week been paying his attention to the road between Cascade aud Sutherland, where there is urgent need of repairs, especially on that portion of the lake bottom land where a temporary corduroy bridge had been put down. Overseer Price has done much good work on the roads throughout the district this season. Vote for Smith Curtis, and home rule. wm THE CASCADE RECORD June 2, 1901 D In appealing to you as the Premier of the Province, I beg to lay before you the platform of the new Government ns follows: 1. The abolition of the $200 deposit for candidate for the Legislature. 2. The bringing into force, as toon as arrangements can be completed, of the Torrens Registry ���ystem. 3. The Redistribution of the constituencies on the basis of population, allowing to sparsely populated districts a proportionately larger representation than to populous districts and cities. 4. The enactment of an accurate ���ystem of Government scaling of logs, and its rigid enforcement. 5. The re-enactment of the dis. allowed Labor Regulation Act, 1898, and also all the statutes of 1899. containing anti-Mongolian clauses if disallowed as proposed by the Dominion Government1 6.

To provide for official inspection of all buildings, machinery and works, with a view to compelling the adoption of proper .safeguards to life and health. 8. With regard to the Eight- hour Law the Government will continue to enforce the law as it titands. An immediate inquiry will be made by the Minister of Mines into all grievances put forward in connection with its operation, with a view of bringing about an amicable settlement. If no settlement is reached the principle of the referendum will be applied and a vote taken at the general election as to whether the law shall be re- repealed. If the law is sustained by the vote it will be retained upon tbe statute book with its penalty clause. If modifications can be made removing any of the friction brought about, without impairing the principle of the law, they will be adopted. If the vote is against it the law will be repealed. ' 9. To restabliBh the London Agency of British Columbia, and to take every effective means of bringing before the British public the advantages of this Province, as a place for the profitable investment of capital. 10. The retaining of the resources of the Province as an asset for the benefit of the people, and taking effective measures to prevent the alienation of the public domain, except to actual settlers or for actual bona fide business, or industrial purpose.*, pulling an end to the practice of speculating in connection with the same. 11. The taking of active measures for the systematic exploration of the Province. 12. The borrowing of money for the purpose of providing roads, trails and bridges, provided that in every case the money necessary to pay the interest and sinking fund in connection with the loan shall be provided by additional taxation so as not to impair the credit of the Province. 13. In connection with the con struction of Government roads and trails, to provide by the employment of competent civil engineers and otherwise that the Government money is expended upon some system which will be .".dvantageous to the general public, so that the old system of providing roads as a specal favor to supporters of the Government may be entirely discontinued. 14. To keep the ordinary annual expenditure within the ordinary annual revenue, in order to preserve intact the credit of the Province, which is its best asset. 15. To adopt a system of government construction and operation of railways and immediately to proceed with the construction of a railway on the south side of the Fraser river, connecting the coast with the Kootenay district with the understanding that unless the other railways now constructed in the Province give fair connections and make equitable joint freight and passenger arrangements, the Province will continue this line to the eastern boundary of the Province. Proper connection withuuch Kootenay railway to be given to the Island of Vancouver. With respect to other parts of the Province, to proceed to give to every portion of it railway connection at as early a date as possible, the railway, when constructed, to be operated by the Government through a Commission. 16. A railway bridge to be constructed in connection with the Kootenay railway across the Fraser river, at or near New Westminster and running powers giAen over it to any railway company applying for the same, under proper conditions. 17. In case it is thought at any time advisable to give a bonus to any railway company, the same to be in cash, and not by way of a land grant; and no such bonus to be granted except upon the condition that a fair amount of the bonds or shares of the company be transferred to the Province, and effective means taken to give the Province control of the freight and passenger rates, and provision made against such railway having any liabilities against it except actual cost. 18.

"If I had a donkey and it wouldn't, go wouldn't I wallop it ? No, no, no !" but then, I'm not a freighter. If he has a cnyuse and it won't draw, he larrups its hide till it is raw; at least generally. "I am willing to admit," an American writer says, "that mankind is my brother, but ai the same time must allow that I have somedooced scaly relations," and about the scaliest of all is he who gears up a 300-pound horse to a 3-ton wagon and trusts to cursory remarks, elhow grease and whipstocks to make the trip on. 1 saw an evil- looking yahoo yesterday driving a four-horse team in such state as would ensure him "twelve months hard labor" in the old country. They were as "bluggy as everyfing," and if, some day, under such circumstances, one of my cussed scaly relations meet a retaliatory and i retributive hoof, I'll buy up his slayer, give him a free pass to Thomas' stable and a gold medal for insecticide. The Rossland Industrial World, f.ays C. P. R. smelter and railway employes at Trail, are being car- petted and informed that if they do not vote right���that is against Martin���their discharge is certain.' If I were a C. P. R. employe and I such characteristic coercion were! applied to me, I would deliberately promise any thing asked, and go straight and plump for Martin out of sheer cussedness, vote for him twice if I pot the chance, and I don't love Martin either. Does the C. P. R. imagine that when it buys a. man's services, it buys also his mind, soul and body ? Possibly men of the stamp that fought at Paarde- burg and Mafeking are not so easily bought as some politicians and printers are, and the C. P. R. may find it out some day. battleship. Good, it sounds nice just about election time. I know the German fairly well, and he doesn't take chances. Wilhelm Kaiser, if he ever, as is likely, acheives his ambition to have a navy to match his army, will pull the world by the ears as sure as "himself und Godt ail dings gom- mand." Wilhelm takes the place formerly held by Mahomet, as fugleman of the Almighty, and 1 hope I am betraying no family secret when I relate what was the origin of his high opinion of himself. He once, during my youthful days, came in his casual, curious way to examine and criticise the progress of a Black Forest school and its pupils. A natural history class was progressing. The clown of the community was to the fore. "Now," said his youthful highness, "there are three classes, animal, vegetable and mineral, to which do I ne- long?" The schoolboy paused���Vegetable? No! Mineral? No!! Animal? No!!! Not blooming likely with such a thing as punishment for lese Majeste probable. The youngster was, however, a born diplomat as well as a humorist. "You, Sir," he replied, with hardly a quiver in his limped blue eyes��� "belong to the Kingdom of Heaven" ���and the Emperor has believed it ever since. Baseball or Church is what is troubling Grand Forks. "I won't play in your yard" says the parson, "I don't like you any more," say the baseballers. "There are three sexes, men, women and clergymen" says the Gazette. "You pays your money and you takes your choice," says the general public, and I don't know myself whether the hollering of a baseball enthusiast, or the clang bang of that relic of barbarism which calls together Cattle and Christians, and is yclept a bell, is the bigger nuisance. We are hearing a great deal II ^' lately of what might have happened had not Dewey received British support in Manila Bay. The inference being that Germany was quite ready and willing for a fight, but for the omnipresent British But once I saw him bite his lips with temper, and those fierce full eyes of his flash fire. It was a great review day upon the Duke of Baden's estate in the Schwarzwald. The Uhlans had surpassed themselves and came sweeping across the open, like a well ordered and irresistible multicolored avalanche. The Emperor acknowledged the salute with pride and gratification. "Wunderschon" he ejaculated. He sought ears in which to pour his pleasure. I was at his stirrup, a privileged spectator, and noting my appearance he said in good English "There, are they not matchless?" "Splendid, your Majesty" I answered "only take care they never run into our seventeenth lancers." He scowled angrily, and an aide de camp almost winked; then raising his head, he uttered one word "Vorwarts" and with his staff vanished in a cloud of dust. A later day, an old friend, the Minister of war, who had heard of the incident remarked to me: "My boy, if ever I said half as much as that, I would have to emigrate to Milwaukee." "Vive les Boers" or showing his gaul sichwise. He's a nice, consis- tant kind of a Christian, the Frenchman, especially the Parisian. I know Englishmen ought not to take front seats at the opera, on gala nights in bicycle costumes, and that Fashoda was a bit of a set back, but that does not excuse a man for hollering out about "liberte, egalite et fraternite," with one breath, and "vive le Boer"' the next. What, in the name of all that is free, equal and brotherly can Stead's brother Boer possibly represent in the Frenchman's absinthe mind ? But I'd like to be at that exposition all the same. When the Frenchman isn't singing the Marseillaise, or making love to his neighbor's wife, or ordering "encore un bock," or enjoying himself generally; he's usually crying out "a bas les Anglais" and The whole country is suffering from political throes or words to that effect. What I like about politicians is their purity of motive and wholeBouled truth. In the Boundary country we have two gentlemen each trying to show his politeness by keeping the other out of a seat. If all that each says of the other be true, some of you voters are in most ungodly company when you attend political meetings. Personally I hdieve everything that's told me; it saves trouble. Then I vote as I please at the finish. Each man says his platform is all mahogany, and his opponent's all slabs,and rotten at that. I helieve that, too.' I once had a near squeak of getting into parliament myself, and know the tricks of the trade. It's worBe than horse-stealing any day. But joking apart, the way those two meandering ministers or peripetetic politicians, Smith Martin and Joe Curtis, have trapezed through this province building castles in the air and railroads in the sky is enough lo make a man die of envy that he, too, was not created a worker of miracles. F'rinstans, it generally takes a smart enough lawyer to run a coach and four through an act of parliament, but the man who reached the post of attorney-general, says he can run a freight train through an international agreement as easily as deliver writs. Also, surveys, estimates and finances don't matter. Is it to be promises now and performance at leisure? talk today and taxation to-morrow? Is the Hon. Mr. Martin like Lowell's friend who did believe in any plan o' levyin' the taxes so long as like a lumberman he gets just what he axes ? It well must seem as if he does "believe in humbug generally, it is a thing he doth perceive to have a solid vally, this hath his faithful shepherd been, in pastures green hath led him, and it will keep the people green to feed as they have fed him." I have not yet quite made up my mind how to look upon this tub thumping trip of these topical tourists. It is pathetic and it is tragic, it it sublime and it is ridiculous. There is at times such brotherly sweetness manifested, that I can only think! of Helen's babies, Budge and Tod-1 dy, then the scene changes and Faust and Mephistopheles seem to hold the boards, whilst later on, being mindful of Curtis' unlimited faith and trust in his leader, 1 think regretfully of that "young Lady of Riga who went for a ride on a tiger, they came back from that ride, the Lady inside, and a smile on the face of the tiger. I'm fond of personal reminiscences too, and when the Premier goes into the "memory of his past excesses," it's almost nicer than the biography of a Salvation army recruit. I have somewhere read- though, that drunkenness is no excuse in the eyes of the law, and have a dependent notion that it is also no excuse in the head of the law, for, as Dr. Watts says, "Little birds in their nests agree, and 'tis a shameful sight, when Martins getting on the spree, fall out and chide and fight." Likewise I was taught that "one swallow does not make a Summer," but having seen how one Martin may bring on "the Winter of our discontent," can't lilame voters if, when the political horizon is lowering, and clouds appearing on every hand, they look out for a good Mackintosh. Ought I to risk my reputation in a preliminary contribution in making a prophecy, I hardly know, but it does not matter much any way. Waterloo day comes on the 18th, hut I believe the Premier, owing to a ppecial dispensation of Providence, will get his on the 9th, and that on the morrow of that great day, he will wake up, and blinking uneasily, mentally decipher the words "Ichabod" on one wall of his bed chamber; "Fallen jb thy throne. 0, Israel" on the other. That weirdly sweet German melody, "When the martins homeward fly," may sound in his ears, to he followed by the beautiful poem (partly Moore's) set, strange to say, to the "Martini" air : To Deadman's isle In the wake of the blast, To Deadman's isle he'll drift tiitht fast; His sails with Mackintosh covers are furled, He's lost the Province and dead to the World.. But any how, if I were a C. P. R. employe I would vote for him every time and all the time. He's a fighter; you can't kill him, nor change his destiny. He's a straight forward kind of a creature who blurts right out what's in his head, and if he's one peculiar feature, it's a nose that wont be led, and that's a hard sort to beat. At Denver, a demand for higher wages from nearly all lines of workmanship has been granted peaceably. In the building trades especially the demand for labor ia so urgent that advances were granted readily and the cost of houses raised proportionately. London, Ohio, with a population of 5000, furnishes its own electric lighting service at a cost of $57.58; per street arc per year.

PerYear *2.0u Six Months 1.25 To Foreign Countries 3.50 Advertising Rates Furnished on Application, NOTE AND COMMENT. The Spokane Falls & Northern railway company will put on a night train out of Spokane. This gives travelers to tbe Boundary a continuous all-rail journey, and obviates the necessity of a stop-over at Rossland. The Methodist conference recently in session in Chicago, made two ���important changes in its long established methods. One is the admission of women to conferences; the other, permanent residence of ministers, where desired. The C. P. R. has issued notice that a daily express service between the Atlantic and Pacific will be inaugurated on June 10th. The Imperial Limited will be the fast train between Vancouver and Montreal and will make the fastest time across the continent. There will also be a daily express service, via the Crow's Nest Pass, to and from the Kootenay country. The service on all Kootenay local rail and steamer lines will be improved and close connections will be made throughout. How Long Will This Farcical Imposition Continue? Parties coming by stage into the Boundary, should provide themselves at Bossburg with a health certificate to avoid detention. Since the outbreak of smallpox in Manitoba, the Dominion government has taken the matter in hand, and stationed officials at various points ingress to the province, whose duty it is to see that all incomers have health certificates���all of which is a hig farce and imposition. Thieves and Thugs But No Police. Last week a petition was sent in to the powers that be, begging for the appointment of a local Constable. Possibly those powers know better than we do what a border town needs. P'r'aps! p'r'aps not! Any way, we just call their attention to the following: Owing to the absence of any police protection, no less than three burglaries took place on Monday night and two unoccupied houses were broken into. Mr. Earle, of the sawmill was robbed, the Rev. Mr. Barton of the Manse had his house ransacked and the English Store was entered from the rear, its safe tried, its till removed bodily, together with its contents, and various articles of value were stolen. A little over a year ago when a similar event look place at the Syndicate's store, three men incidentally happened to get shot. That's what may occur again any day now, indeed apart from burglary and in direct consequence of the unprotected state of tbe town, more "guns" are being exhibited than are actually needed outside the Transvaal, and a few days since in a free scuffle, one happened to crack a man's head with results that were more picturesque than pleasing. A legally liBted voter whose name appears in the polling book, may vote anywhere, in his own riding, whether at home or abroad. Cascade Public School. The following marks show the relative standing of the pupils of the Cascade school for the month of May: Third class: Jennie McRae, 693; Jessie Hyde, 669; Ralph Wolverton, 664; Robert Thompson, 663; Willie Walling, 633.

As will be seen by an ad. in another column, a Mackintosh meeting will he held heie Monday night, in Montana hall. The City Barbar shop of Grand Forks is fitted and furnished on a metropolitan scale. Its bath rooms and furnishings are elegant. The voters of this riding should impress upon Mr. Mackintosh's mind the fact that the purchase of newspapers does not always produce votes. At a business meeting held last evening in the church, it was decided that a lawn party should be held on Thursday, the 14th inst. Further information will be given in our next issue. It is reported that machinery is being put into the Cannonball mine on Christina lake, that work on the John Bull will begin again shortly, and that two shifts are being worked on the Contact in Burnt Bisin. There will be services in the Presbyterian church here to-morrow morning aud evening, conducted by Rev. Mr. Barton. Sunday week, June 10, there will only he an evening service, as Rev. Barton will preach in the morning al Gladstone. Last Monday night a young man who*u name we failed to obtain, but who is employed in a livery stable at Phoenix, came in on the Bossburg stage with his left leg broken. The Grand Forks stage having previously left, he was taken to that city hy private conveyance furnished by C. H. Thomas that night. The unfortunate man was riding horseback about four miles this side of Bossburg when the animal slipped nnd fell, with the result above stated. but government candidates have the slightest show of winning in that part of the province. With the coast solid for Martin, the Kootenays, except tbe Nelson riding, which is doubtful, in line, and the return of government candidates in North Yale, Lilloet and Cariboo, a very disgruntled residue indeed will take tbe opposition seats after the 9th of June next.��� Trout Lake Topic. inn I A PUBLIC MEETING In the interests of the Hon.

It has been proved at Memphis as a preventive of yellow fever- also on the evidence of a German Medical writer, that it has proved a complete protection against cholera and other epidemic diseases��� also that those working the sulphur mines of Italy, escape the malaria which prevails all around them��� also that sulphur in the shoes has cured various cases of rheumatism ���also sulphur taken internally or worn in the shoes has sufficient power to pass through the body, the clothing and the pocket book, blackening the silver there. It is also a fact that on California ranches where walnuts are prepared for the market, the shells are bleached by the use of brimstone fumes, and that the men having charge of that work, never have the grippe, influenza or other epi demics which attack their fellow- laborers ou the same estates. Put a half teaspoonful of powdered sulphur in each sock about twice a week. TRADE AND INDUSTRY. In the Klondike eggs are now selling at $120 a cafe and beef at $1.50 a pound. The state of Washington furnished over 500,000 tons of coal to California last year. Last year 4,700,000 cubic yard* of material was dredged out of the Duluth Superior harbor. In New York city 150 retail druggists have formed an association to compete with departmental stores. Thirty-six foreign vessels, having an aggregate tonage of 57,556, met with disaster in American waters last year. Massachusetts has 116 street railway companies, controlling 1,- 492 miles. Eastern electric light plants will be used this summer in the manufacture of ice during the months when lights are little needed. The fishing industry of North Carolina yields an annual product worth over $1,000,000 at no cost to the state, as the fish commission pays its own expenses, and turns from $8,000 to $10,00 into the state treasury every year. ��-���-���-���-��� MM FERGUSON & RITCHIE, SUCCESSORS TO THE Dominion Supply Company A Full Assortment ol Staple and Fancy mm, |_ ��J ^^ SROCERI E:3 ���* Miners' Supplies, Hay, Oats, Coal, Etc 6 THE CASCADE RECORD June 2, WOO gjjscscaes&cscscscssKcsescscsssKtsjsK^es MERE'S A POINTER.

Many persons who favor the ownership of Canadian railways by the Dominion government, strongly object to provincial ownership on various grounds, and there can be no doubt that the ownership of railways by the Dominion as a whole, would be much better for Canada than the ownership of scattered lines by some of the provinces. It is probable, however, that all who are now advocating provincial ownership, look upon that scheme as a mere step in the direction of Dominion ownership, and would be glad to see the matter become an issue at a Dominion election. It is probable, in fact, that many advocates of government ownership would place country before party, and temporarily discard their party allegiance, if necessary, in order to place men in power who would carry out such a scheme. This might not, however, be necessary, as, in Manitoba, the members of both parties are unanimous in desiring government ownership. The newspapers of that province, of every shade of political opinion, are said to be in favor of government ownership of the railways of the province, and it is possible that the feeling which at present actuates the people of Manitoba, might become general throughout Canada, if the matter were clearly brought before the people. It would be much better to have the scheme carried out by general consent than to have it carried out by one political party, while the other endeavored to throw obstacles in the way for party purposes. The general mode of procedure in Canada and other countries in which political partisanship exists, is for the party out of power to attack without any discrimination, every measure brought forward by the party in power. Such a performance is very silly and unworthy of men who claim to be rational beings. A measure is often brought forward by the party in power which all rational men know to be a good measure. The leaders of the party out of power can clearly see that the carrying out of such a measure will benefit the nation. They, nevertheless, in order to make what is known as "party capital," oppose it bitterly, their conception of their duty as representatives of the people being, not that they should support whatever they think would be of benefit to the people, but that they should get the other fellows out of power by any means, fair or foul. No respeet is due to men who worship any political party to such an extent as to vote for bad measures or bad men ai the dictation of party managers or who oppose good measures merely because they are brought forward by a political party to which they do not belong. The blind worship of parties is as degrading as the blind worship of any other human and fallible institution, and it is to the honor of the Liberals of Manitoba that they are unanimously supporting the Hon. Hugh John Macdonald in his efforts to bring about the government ownership of railways. . It is probable that all who favor the provincial ownership of railways, favor it only as a temporary scheme, which would be useful in forcing the matter upon the attention of the people of all parts of the Dominion. The people of Eastern Canada are slow to move in the matter of making political reforms, and, if the people of Western Cana da wish to bring about such a great reform as the government ownership of railways, they must bring the matter forcibly before the attention of their fellow countrymen in the East. In Dominion elections the party platforms are manufactured in the East, and it would be difficult for the people of the West to get such a plank as government ownership of railways inserted at the present time. They must agitate in order to bring about such a result, and they can agitate best in the mean time by supporting candidates who will do their best to force the matter into Dominion politics. A united West would force the people of Eastern Canada to take the matter up and make it a Dominion issue, and, if the people of British Columbia show that they are in favor of the government ownership of railways, there will be a united West. In Manitoba, the people of all the political parties favor government ownership, and all the newspapers advocate it. The Northwest Territories are full of farmers who went to the Western States years ago from Eastern Canada and the Eastern States, and who were driven out of the Western Stales to a great extent by the rapacity of railway corporations. They do not want the same thing to happen to them in their new homes, and there can be no doubt they will favor government ownership to a man. If British Columbia were to favor government ownership, the West would present a united front on the matter, and the East would be forced to take action. It is not to be presumed, however, that the people of the East are opposed to government ownership. The matter' has never been brought before them, and they have never given it any consideration. If it were brought before them they might favor the scheme as unanimously as the people of Manitoba. Some persons aver that, if the provinces were to build railways, the Canadian Pacific company and other existing corporations would conspire to ruin them by refusing them connections, or charging excessive rates for freuht transferred to or from the government roads from or to the roads of nich corporations. Such averments are ridiculous. The corporations would not dare to attempt to trample on the people of all Western Canada, if they were united, and they will be united, if they value their hearths and homes. John Simpson.
