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."

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.
Owing to the excellent service
business is improving at the Columbia Hotel Dining Parlor. Meals

THE   CASCADE   RECORD, JANUARY 14, 1899
STAOE LINE CHANGES.
Efforts to Divert  Traffic to Upper
Grand Porks.
G. VV. 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.

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

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

BY THE WAYSIDE   J
It seems that there is another
side to the cate of shipping merchandise from Vancouver to Cascade and the Boundary, as related
the oilier day by a travelling man
for Wm. 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-

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.

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."

THE   CASCADE   RECORD, JANUARY 14, 1899
STRIKE ON THE ELHORE.
Baker Creek Properties Will Soon
be Developed.
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.
