i THE CASCADE RECORD Vol. I. CASCADE, B. C, JANUARY 14, 1899. No. 10. Contract Let For Round Timbers For tlie Wator Power. BARBER AND DANA SECURED IT Will be Used in Constructing the 350-foot Uam-Is the Equal of 500,000 Feet in Board Measure. Last Monday the contract for cutting and delivering the round timbers for the 350 foot dam now being constructed just above the cascades of the Kettle river, by the Dominion Mining, Development Agency Co., Ltd., was awarded to E. M. Dana and David P. Barber of Cascade. Some 15 or 20 bids were put in a couple of weeks since, after the advertisement for same appeared in the Record. The bids were sent by Engineer Anderson to the office of the company in Nelson, and after due consideration it was decided to let the contract to Messrs, Dana and Barber. The contract is a large one and calls for 60,000 lineal ieet \,\ round timbers, or in the neighborhood of 500,000 feet, boiird measure. There will be nearly 2000 of these timbers all told, the lengths varying from 25 to 40 feet according to specifications. Mr. Dana, in an interview, informed the Record man that it would require'about all of the fir and tamarack timber within a mile and a half of the dam site to fill the contract. The contractors are well known locally, having been residents of the city for a considerable length of time, and are amply able to carry out the contract. The price for the work is not given out. The contractors expect to keep eight or ten men busy for a couple of months, and they have already be gun preparations for carrying it out. In a Short Time H. T. Wilgress, right-of-way agent for the C. P. R. for the Boundary country, was in the city Monday on his return from Victoria. Mr. Wilgress is the gentlemen who first recommended Cascade City, above all others in this section, i'is a smelter site, and whose recommendation has been acted upon. A Record representative asked him last Monday how soon he expected active operations would be started on the construction of the smelter plant here: "Well," said he, "I understand that it is likely to begin within a very few weeks, now���just as soon as the preliminaries can be gotten out of the way." H. L. Moody returned this week from Toroda creek, on the Colville reservation, where he staked out one or two "kittens." IN AND AROUND CASCADE. A letter was actually received from Nelson in four days time this week ! Harvey Harris has arrived from Greenwood to take charge of the Cascade branch of P. Burns & Co. The printing plant for the Republic Miner, to be issued by John R. Rei��vis, passed through Cascade this week. Next Tuesday evening a regular meeting of the Cascade Taxpayer's Association will be held at the town- site office. J. E. W. Thompson, of Fernie, arrived in Cascade this week and has accepted a position with Messrs. Gaine & Roy, of the Yukon Store. A. H. Bremner, manager of the Dominion Supply Co., left this morning for Spokane, to visit his family for a few days. Ira Black will soon begin construction work on a cottage in the rear of his hotel, to be occupied by his family and that of his brother Julius. Archie Johnson, of the law firm of Johnson & McDonald, of Nelson, was in the city this week, returning from a trip through the Boundary country. Sawyer Bros., formerly peddlers of water in Cascade, have secured a contract to haul the lumber for the new $10,000 hotel to be put up at Columbia. G. W. Williams, of the Kettle River Stage Line, took 10 horses through to Republic this week. He will hereafter use 4-horse teams on that end of the line. ; Contractor Glaze of Midway, who has been east since June, was in Cascade on his return this week. He was astonished at the growth of the town in the last six months. Chas. Van Ness, a well known resident of Grand Forks, died there on Thursday. His remains were taken to Nelson yesterday by his partner, Mr. Marks, for interment. Pneumonia was the cause of death. Cascade now exchanges registered mail with Rossland, this mail heretofore going to Grand Forks and thereby entailing much needless delay. All registered mail for the south and east will be transmitted by the new route. King Rees, who has been manager for P. Burns & Co. at Cascade, will hereafter have charge of the books of the company for both Grand Forks and Cascade. He leaves for the Forks and Greenwood today with Mrs. Rees. Officer Dinsmore sent word to Officer Darraugh on Wednesday that Frederick K. Hughes, held on a charge of passing a bogus check in Cascade, had been unable to get bail and would be taken to the jail at Midway. H. S. Turner, formerly publisher oftheDurfur (Oregon) Dispatch, was in the, city Thursday, accompanied by A. W Sherwood from the same place. They will look over the district with the idea of starting a weekly paper Contract Has been Let For the Paymaster's Office. TO BE ESTABLISHED IN CASCADE Thereafter All Sub-Contractors, Station Men and Other Railroad Men Will Transact It has been generally understood in Cascade for some time that the headquarters of Mann, Foley Bros., & Larson, the contractors for the Robson-Penticton branch of the Columbia & Western railway (C. P. R.) now building through Cascade, would soon be moved to this city. This was considered the logical outcome of the completion of the work of the contractors on the eastern end of the line. Nothing tangible was known, however, Until this week, when Mr. Shepherd, in charge of the large storehouse here, received orders to erect an office building at once. Accordingly he called for tenders, of which there were quite a 11 urn ber. ' The contract was awarded to G. L. Woodard, A. E. Hitchcock, A. J. McDonald and E. Hildebrand, and is to be finished within ten days. The building will be 24x36 feet in size and will accommodate the contractors. Paymaster Woodman and Purchasing Agent McLeod and their assistants. Mr. Shepherd, with Geo. K. Stocker, selected a convenient location for the paymaster's new office, which will be located just below the brow of the rise on Main street, east of the Commercial hotel. It will be accessible from the storehouses and will also be convenient for the large number of sub-contractors, station men and others who must necessarily go there to transact business. Mr. Shepherd states that the removal from Brooklyn to Cascade will probably take place after the next monthly pay day, which is January 20th, next Friday. Thereafter the bulk of the business of the contractors will be transacted in this city. Skipped Across the Line Vinoenzo Cierelo is the euphonious name of an Italian who threatened to carve a number of fellow countrymen, at the railway camp of Jos. Deros, a few miles up the lake last Wednesday. The threatened parties came to town to swear out a warrant for his arrest, but before Officer Darraugh could make out a warrant and secure Cierlo as the first lodger in the new jail, that individual had made tracks for Uncle Sam's domain, and is now safely on the other side. He did not even stop to get his time check, but thought discretion the better part of valor. LAST THURSDAY'S ELECTIONS In Nelson, Rossland, Grand Fork* and Gresnwood. Incorporated cities held annual elections last Thursday with the following results: In Rossland A. S. Goodeve was elected mayor by a majority of 104 over H. S. Wallace. The entire Goodeve aldermanic ticket was elected. It was thought yesterday, from dispatches received that H. G. Nee- lands had been elected mayor of Nelson, but later adviefs state that John Houston succeeds himself by the narrow majority of 6. With one exception, the Neelands alder manic ticket was elected. There was considerable excitement during the day. In Greenwood Thomas Hardy was elected by a majority of 41 votes over Mr. Smailes, the liberal ticket being victorious. At Grand Forks L. A. Manley was elected Mayor over Robert Harvey. Townsite Restaked Some time last fall Ross Thorn p son, the father of Rossland, staked a townsite of 320 acres at the mouth of Baker creek, on the east shore of Chiistina lake. It is located on the mineral claims in which D. C. Beach is interested. The 25 per cent, of the purchase price was paid to the chief commissioner of lands and works, but other regulations were not complied with. Several days ago C. A. Baldwin, of this city, relocated the property for townsite purposes. The property is well situated, and will undoubtedly be of value when the Elmore and other valuable neighboring mines are placed on a shipping basis. Threw It Up Last Tuesday Messrs. Philbrick and Sawyer Bros., who have had the monopoly of the local water business up to last week, and had been charging all the way from 35c to 50c or more per barrel, pulled off their two teams and quit the business. Joe Tracy, who recently started in to deliver water at the uniform price of 25 cents per barrel, is using one team and taking care of all the business offered.' He informs the Record that he is doing quite well, and has no kick coming- School Board Matters James Martin, M. P. P., haa written to Chairman D. D. Ferguson, of the local school hoard, saying that the recently forwarded petition had heen given to Supt Pope, of the Department of Education, and would receive early attention. The petition asks for the creation of a separate school district for Cascade, and also for the erection of a suitable building for school purposes. It appears an though these needs would be supplied by the provincial government. Guy S. Helphrey, of the Curlew store, at Curlew; Wash., was a caller at the Record office yesterday. THE CASCADE RECORD, JANUARY 14, 1899 IN AND AROUND CASCADE. A coal oil famine has heen prevalent in Cascade this week. G. J. Hayward has been appointed to assiut R. R. Gilpin in the Grand Forks custom house. Midway is having a lumber famine. Fire and flood are responsible for the shut down of the sawmills. Father Palmer came in from the west on Wednesday evening, leaving far Rossland the following morning. Arrivals from Brooklyn report that business in the Arrow Lake town continues to be very good��� much better than was anticipated for this time of year. TheGreenwood Mining and Commercial Association is trying to secure a daily mail service from Eastern Canada, instead of three times a week, via Penticton. Grand Forks now has a neat and commodious Catholic church, the opening service in which was held by Father Palmer. An Episcopal church is also to be built there. Postmaster Cameron has at last received a t��tock of the new imperial two cent stamps. These little bits of gummed paper will take a half- ounce letter to any part of the English speaking world. F. J. Finucane, of the Bank of Montreal, arrived from Nelson on Wednesday, on his return to Greenwood. He was delayed 24 hours at Bossburg on account of the Columbia river being frozen. Lot M. Livingston, who has stores in Brooklyn, Deer Park and Niagara, came over from Brooklyn this week to vLitthe Niagara store. He had not been here since October and was surprised at Cascade's growth since then, It is given nut that the reason for changing the name of Upper Grand Forks to that of Columbia is that some confusion has arisen on account of a town of the same name being located in North Dakota. Up to last Wednesday no mails, express or freight had been received in Brooklyn for 10 days,on account of the steamers being frozen in above and below that town. Lower Arrow lake at Brooklyn did not freeze over. The mercury reached four degrees below zero at the lowest point. Brooklyn Hotel Burned Last Sunday night altout2o'clock the frame hotel on the lake front at Brooklyn, known as the Brooklyn Exchange, was burned to the ground. Shaw & Shaw's feed store adjoining, was also totally destroyed. Fortunately the breeze was off shore and as the buildings were isolated no further damage, was done. The origin of the fire is not known, and the loss is almost total, as little could be saved. Shaw & Shaw propably lost $500 and the two-st^ry hotel building was probably worth $800. There was no insurance and no means of fighting the flames. Fortunately no lives were lost. Church Site Selected. A site has been selected for the Presbyterian church, to be erected in Cascade in the near future. It is lot 4 in block 35 on the townsite map, being located near First Avenue east of Fourth street, facing north. The committee who selected the lot consisted of Messrs. Ferguson, Matheson, McRae, Willcox, Miss Cameron and Rev. J. McCoy. The location is a sightly one, and can be seen from all over the city. The lot was generously donated by the townsite owners, and as soon as the financial part can be worked out, the work of construction will be started.

Williams, manager of the Kettle River Stage Line, was in Cascade last Monday night, and answered a few questions put to him by a representative of the Record. "Have you actually sold out your stage line?'' was asked. " No, I have not, "said Mr. Williams. " I have given an option on the line to the Upper Grand Forks, or Columbia, townsite people. It has yet six or eight days to run, but I have no doubt that it will be taken up. Mr. Ross, representing the townsite, also has an option on the Bell & Duncan stage line, and if the option on our line is taken up, that on the other will be also." " Will you run the stages right through to the Upper Forks the same night, Mr. William* ?" " That is the intention, I believe, but it must necessarily be a month or two before it can he accomplished, and perhaps longer. They are now building a bridge across the river at Upper Grand Forks and have a few men working on the new road to connect with it. It takes time to arrange these changes." The idea, as given out generally, is that the stages shall leave Grand Forks to one side entirely, running direct to Columbia. Whether this is practicable is yet an open question, and whether in severe weather, or when bad roads prevail, passengers will consent to being carried a dozen miles further when a comfortable stopping place, with every accommodation, can be had in Cascade. Chas. VanNess, the well known proprietor of the Grand Forks hotel, was in Cascade this week and informed the Record man, that should the proposed change be made, there is not sufficient accommodation at Columbia to care for the travelling public, and that a free stage would be run from the lower town. He further stated that in the spring, the proposed cut off is invariably several feet under water and cannot be used. cells. The contract price is $445, but extras will run up to over $100 more. The building is well suited to the purpose for which it was built. Greenwood's New Paper. W. J. Lee, of Butte, Montana, passed through Cascade last Wednesday, en route to Greenwood, where he says he will begin the publication of a weekly to be called the Miner, the first issue of which he expects to get out next week. He states that his plant is purchased and on the way, and the patent outside ordered. Mr. Lee will give special attention to the mines of the Boundary country, and let their greatness be known to the outside world, far and near. He already claims to have a subscription list of nearly 600. The Record wishes the new venture every success. New Jell Is Ready Contractor N. Robinson has completed the new provincial jail, located on the flat, and it is now being occupied by Constable Darraugh. The building is 20x30 in size, and contains three cells, constable's quarters and a court room.

ROTTEN MAIL SERVICE The mail service from the rest of the Province to the Boundary would disgrace an uncivilized land, let alone one where common sense is supposed to prevail. If Mr. Hewitt Bostock, our member at Ottowa, lived here, or Inspector McLeod, we opine that an improvement would be speedy. There is absolutely no sense or reason in mail from Nelson or Rossland taking four or five days to reach Cascade. And as for Eastern Canadian mail, that does not get here as quickly as though it went to San Francisco first. When the postal authorities arranged that this mail should be sent to Cascade by way of Penticton, with a triweekly service only, they simply exhibited their dense ignorance of the geography of this section. Sending Victoria and Vancouver mail via Penticton is like sending Dawson mail via Edmunton. It may get there, if sufficient time is given. Some of the coast papers become epitomes of ancient history by the time they reach the office of, the Record. And the worst feature* of this annoying situation is that \t is entirely unnecessary and uncalled for. A quicker#and better mail route is available. A mail route between Brooklyn and Cascade has been petitioned for, andiit ought to be established at once. The distance, 40 or 45 miles, can be covered in 24 hours, and would shorten the present ieisurly time into the Boundary country by a couple of days or more. Not only this, but Gladstone and English Point on Christina lake would be served and should be served. FUN AT VICTORIA The provincial parliament met last Thursday week in' annual session at Victoria, and the new gov ernment took hold at that time. Of course, the representatives of the opposition or old government were on hand, and were not slow to make themselves henrd. A number of the speeches thus far were given | over largely to insinuations or direct charges as to how bad the other fellows were or are, and as a result there has but little of consequence been done. The elections bill was rushed through' and signed by Mr. Mclnnes, notwithstanding the loud protest uttered. This will not tend to strengthen the present government with the people, and already some resignations of members have been sent in as a direct consequence. It would seem that the members assembled at Victoria have taken a few lessons from our cousins across the line, who are noted for their quarreling proclivities in their state legislatures. The spectacle is neither a creditable nor a dignified one. The sooner a working majority can be had the better it will be for the province If an appeal must be taken to the people to settle it, it cannot come too soon. Every business man in Cascade, on reading these lines, should sit down and write two letters, one to Hewitt Bostock, M. P., at Ducks, B. C, and the other to Postmaster General Mulock at Ottawa, in regard to our antiquated mail service. Perhaps when these gentleman had received a few hundred such letters, steps would be taken so that the time of transmission from Nelson to Cascade, or Vancouver to Cascade, would be materially reduced from four and six days respectively. Now that Uncle Sam has got title to the Phillipines, there seems to be quite a difference of opinion among Americans as to the wisdom of acquiring the islands as a colony. In the meantime, the natives themselves do not propose to be delivered over, and it looks as though (here would be a long series of troubles there. Aguinaldo, their leader, is a knave, but he is smart and is only looking for his own aggrandizement. The announcement in last week's Record in regard to the large smelting plant, to be built by the C. P. R. in Cascade this year, was pleasant news to the constantly widening circle of readers of this paper. One of the good effects is already apparent among the prospectors of this locality. A near-by market, with low freight and treatment rates, is a great inducement to development. The Moyie City Leader has been "kicking" Vigorously for a better mail isorvice-in south-east Kootenay. If the Leader, and all other southern British Columbia papers would unite on this important subject, the protest would be heard even in far off Ottawa. �� I This week hat been a warm one in Nelson, Rossland, Grand Forks and Greenwood, on account of the municipal elections, which occurred Thursday.

Braid & Co., wholesale grocers of Vancouver. He states that the Great Northern, ill receiving shipments from Vancouver, wait invariably until a full car is obtained, thus entailing a delay of a week or more. It bad to lie trainferred by boat from Vancouver to the railway, thus making more delay. So that, altogether, shippers in the Boundary must figure on about from four or five weeks' time, in getting goods fn in the Coast via the American line. All of which naturally makes shippers prefer the C. P. R. wherever there is the least choice, for the reason that, even into the Boundary country, it can hardly be so slow If the above is a matter of fact��� and U>ere seems lo lie no reason to doubt it���the Great Northern is taking the t<urc��t possilile method if losing its Coast-Boundary trade entirely. ' You can fool part of the people all the time, and all the people part of the time," as Abraham Lincoln is reputed to have said, " but you cannot fool all the people all the time." -%- Taking all these statements into consideration, Boundary business men should lend every encouragement possible to the plan now being looked into by the C. P. R. freight department to bring Bound ary freight into the country by way of the new wagon road from Brooklyn. The sleighing over this road i�� excellent and will remain so probably for a couple of months or ��more, and merchants will be ab'e to save time and trouble by using this route. It will be possible to get mo��t of the spring goods in this way before the roads break up and are rendered next to impassable by the spring rains. Walter Hull Aldridge, the man ager of the C. P. R smelters, who was in Cascade last week relative to matters connected with the large smelling plant to be built here this year by that company, evidently believes in doing things in style Last Wednesday he was married at Rossland to Miss Nancy Elnorah Scales Tuttle, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Jay Tuttle, at St. George's church. After the ceremony the happy couple took a special train, in waiting on the Red Mountain railway, for Spokane and thence to the east. After spending a month's honeymoon,and probably incident ally conferring with Mr. Sluiugh nessy and Mr. VanHome relative to the Cascade smelter, Mr. Aid ridge informed the Record last week that he would he back here in a mouth's time. It would probably be difficult for the C. P. R. to secure a more competent man than Mr. Aldridge to manage their smelter interests. For a number of years he had charge of the smelter at Helena, Montana, and the excellent condi- dition of that concern when he resigned to go to Trail, is well known. Since taking charge of the latter concern, it is stated hy those capable of judging, that many evi- The Merchants Bank of Halifax ������ ���INCORPORATED I860. - Paid-up Capital, $1,500,000.

"ALEX. MILLER, manager. sxsxsasssxs^ deuces are seen that he is the right man in the right place. It is sometimes worth many thousands of dollars to a concern to have the right man in the right place at the right time. This is shown by the suit now being brought by F. Aug. Heinze against the C. P. R. for something like $75,000 for goods left at the Trail smeller, which he claims were not included in the sale by him to that company last spring. It all hangs on the word " stores " in the agreement to sell. In the railway world this word means everything from waste to a locomotive driving wheel, but Mr. Heinze asserts that in smelter parlance no such broad interpretation goes. If the C. P. R. loses the suit, it will be because they did not summon Mr. Aldridge at the time of the purchase. Mr. VanHome and Mr. Shatighnessy*'know all about railroads, but they are a little out of their element as yet when it comes to smelters. Good dairy butter, only 20 cents per pound at J. S.

Charles VanNess, of the Grand Forks Hotel, was in town last Monday, calling on his many friends here. Ira Black, of Black's Hotel, left for Republic on Tuesday, where he will open up another one of his popular resorts. The Record welcomes changes of copy from its advertisers.

Appreciates the Newspapers. Asked what is the most important element in the building of a city Hon. F. X. Schoonmaker, of Ohio, is said to have replied:'* Well; I should say a newspaper came first. Suppose now that we four were to start a town. The first thing we would do to get it before the public would be to establish a good newspaper, and we would want it to represent the town in every respect; a newspaper is what may he termed the card of introduction to the distant reader. He judges of the town hy its press, by the editorials, the make-up and displays of the news, the character and number of the advertiser.;, for through them he guages the business of the town. There is no better agent for any place than a paper teeming with brisk, live advertisements. The peopje should be impressed with the importance of patronizing the home paper and giving it liberal support and of subscribing to it regularly."

Frank Hutchinson, of Rossland, president of the Belcher Gold Mining Company, was in town this week and visited the Elmore and Corydon, the two well known Shammck mountain claims owned hy his company. The Elmore, upon which there has already heen about $1,200 worth of work done, bids fair to become ere long a peer to any mining property in the Boundary Creek country. Already 72 feet of solid ore has been exposed on the Elmore, the values within a few feet of the surface ranging from $5 to $18. The ore is a magnetic iron carrying copper pyrites, and so far shows a steady increase in values as depth is attained. Smith Curtis, of Rossland, the promoter of the Belcher company, has gone east to arrange finances for the development of the property on a large scale. C. A. Stoess at Work When Manager Aldridge of the Trail smelter was in Cascade last week, he left C. A. Stoess, engineer, adsayer and surveyor, here to look up deposits of lime and clay and do other preliminary but essential work. Assisted by Dick Darrow, who is familiar with this entire section, Mr. Stoess has been tramping through two feet or more of snow all the week. He informed the Record man that there were ample deposits of lime for smelter purposes. He also visited the clay banks near the lake and; pronounces the article there found as of admirable quality for brick- making. As many hundreds of thousands of brick will be needed in the construction of the smelter buildings, this is a most important matter. The dance given by Mr. and Mrs. Hazelton, at Railroad Headquarters Hotel last evening, was enjoyed by a large number. Previous to the dance Mr. Sawyer gave a number of ladies a sleigh ride over the town, which was also much appreciated. Blacksmithiiig.v.

The Steamer Rossland is tied up for the winter at Nakusp. A man actually purchased two lots in Slocan Cily the other day. Three new townsites have been staked out in the vicinity of Windermere. Rossland's water works are frozen solid, and probably will not be available till spring. The Trail smelter has closed down, probably till spring, on account of lack of ore. The Bank of Hamilton will open up its first British Columbia branch in Vancouver some time in February. Rossland beat Nelson at hockey at the latter city, 4 to 0. The Nelson club is arranging for a return match. Application will be made in parliament for a charter for a railway to run from A��hcroft to Quesnelle and Hazelton. The present output of the Crow's Nest Coke ovens is 80 tons daily, which is expected to reach 300 tons before the end of the year. The Slocan lake route is now in uce by the C. P. R. to reach Revelstoke, since long stretches of the Arrow Lakes route were frozen solid. Gold Commissioner J. D. Graham, of the Atlin district in British Columbia, has arrived at his new post, and is throwing oonsterna- tion into the ranks of the prospectors by his interpretation of the mining and land laws of the province. The Boundary Creek Telegraph and Telephone Company, Limited, is advertising its incorporation in the current issue of the British Columbia Gazette, with a capital of $50,000, divided into 50,000 shares of $1 each.
