Orders Received to Put Both \i Gas- at 1 AND THERE WILL ��E NO DEW Power Company Authorizes Engineer Anderson to Order Necessary Supplies. Cascade is to have a complete electric light and" water system, which will be put in as quickly as men and money can do the work. This is now definitely fettled, arid in the course of a month our enterprising citizens should be enjoying these improvements, if there; are no n nfdreseen delays.' , William Ande^on, the resident supervising engineer of the. Dominion Mining & Development Agency, Ltd., owning and now developing the magnificent water power of the Kettle river in this city, received word by telephone last-night, from H. Allers Hankey, secretary of the company, to go ahead with the purchase of necessary supplies for both the water and light plants, and'begin the installation of the same at the earliest possible date. This was in response to the estimates and recommendations sent in by Mr. Anderson *ome three weeks ago. Accordingly Mr. Anderson now has the matter in hand, and will lose rio time in getting everything in readiness. Tola Record representative Mr. Anderson said that it was .his intention to put in a 50 h. p. engine to pump the water to a tank which will be built on the hill west of town. This will give ample head to reach any portion of Cascade where water is likely to h��s wanted for some time to come. The engine and boiler will be located on the river bank, in the bay, just bolow the falls, and near where the permanent water power station will be constructed. It is the intention to use a four-inch pipe for the main supply to the city, so that;it wity ahsWer for some years.* This will also be large enough to permit the use of hydrants, which is greatly to be desired on account Of the increased security against loss .,. by fire and decreased rate of insurance. These mains will probably be laid on first and Second Avenues and on Main street. For an electric light service, a dynamo will be used of sufficient capacity to run 500 sixteen candle power lamps, and the service will be extended all over the city. Mr. Anderson was today making out his orders for supplies, Which will be..sent .10 Eastern Canada ,at once and ordered snipped to' Gas- cade by fast freight. He informs the Record that, after receipt of the supplies, he will put a sufficient force of men on to have the plant in operation within two weeks. Mr. Simmona, the foreman under Mr. Anderson, is also a most capable man, being, thoroughly at home with work cf this character, which is'a guarantee that it will be done in the best possible manner and with expedition. Some time, early in the new year, Cascade wilj have a first-class light and water system. This is a Step in the path of progress that' shows the confidence,,our water power company have in the place and its future. vThat they will not be dis appointed is the opinion of those conservative people who have a habit of looking ahead, far beyond the evanescence of the railway building activity. . rlaplo Leaf Is Dead. The little paper called the Maple Leaf, a few issues of which have appeared in this city, has at last turned up its little toes, and.now occupies a choice spot in the Well-filled journalistic graveyard. Evidently the chilling frosts were too much for it, Appearing first ..on Thursday, the next week it came put on Friday, and this week it failed to issue at all. In the language of the poetir��� "Whatever wai I begun for . If I wai to be ig toon done for." SECURED THE BIG ORDER. Lynch * Eerie Secured Contract for Bridge Timbers, Intfailway circle?.a.good deal of interest has been taken lately in regard to the contract for the long bridge over. Kettle river in this city, op the e^ast sitje. The matter, however, was settled definitely last Wednesday, when Chief Engineer J, F.,; Ste.veni,* for Mknn,'Foley B%s^^^aT8onV/'arrfved^ln town from Brooklyn. The contract was then let to the Cascade Sawmill Co., of which Lynch & Earle are the well-known proprietors. Mr. Earle informed a representative of the Record this morning ing that his firm had already begun work on the contract, and that it would require about three months to complete it: He stated also that there is plenty of timber at 'hand to get out the thousands of pieces specified in the "contract, the majority of which will be 12x12 in f>ize. Lynch & Earle will at once double up the force of loggers, making 50 that this firm will shortly have in their employ getting out the needed timber. Division Engineer Englund, who has charge of the engineering work here for the" C. P. R. gives the Record some interesting data in regard to thjs bridge.' The structure will require in round numbers 1,500,000 feet of timbers, most of which will be sawed right here in Cascade. The extreme length of the bridge will be 1500 feet, while at its highest point it will be 150 feet above the swift flowing Kettle river. There Will be' two long mW^WM&$b Mr- Inland states that he expects 'Work to begin on the construction of the bridge in about a month's time. ird Man Interviews Attorney- eral Joe Martin, James M. Martin, oar Member, is Doing Good Work For Already the good effects of the work begun by the Cascade Taxpayers' Association are beginning to be evident. The memorial, a copy of which appeared in last week's Record, reciting a few of the absolute needs of this locality, was forwarded to His Honor, the Lieutenant Governor, Attorney-General Joe Martin, and to Jas, M. Martin, our member. This week a representative of the Reoord met the two last named gentlemen while en route to Nelson and urged the matter. Assurances Were given on three points, viz., in regard to a jail, a permanent police officer and an additional justice of .the peace; the other matters referred to in the memorial Willrflso receive due consideration at Victoria. - u... v The Attorney-General informed, the Record man that Constable D. J. Darraugh, who has been located at Burton City, oirthe Arrow Lakes, had been ordered to report here and take charge of the police department. This1 was 'confirmed .this week by a letter received by Justice Rose. Officer Darraugh is therefore expected to arrive any day. Mr. Martin also stated that the government would spend $500 at once in erecting a lock-up and court room, and that a plan had been applied for already. This also was confirmed by the letter to Mr. Rose. Mr.1 Stocker, the townsite agent, informs' the Becdrd'that the lot to be donated to the government for jail purposes; is located on the flat below Black's hotel, and is numbered lot 16 in block 3 of the First A'ddi- tion. The deed has been made out. i When asked about an additional justice of the peace for Cascade, the Record man was informed'by^ the Attornfey-Genertfl that a , reborn* mendation should He' made by'tlte citizens without delay, and the appointment would follow, if satisfactory." The efforts of Our member, James" M. Martin, together with the memorial, are therefore already Wgirtnihg^lo betr fruit. Just as the Record goes to press the following acknowledgment was received from His Honor,' the Lieutenant-Governor: T.W '":' ��< VlOTbllli/fe. C. Mr. P. J. O'Reilly, Secretary "Cascade Taxpayer's Association", Cascade City, B. C. ' Sir:���I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of a Memorial, dated the 25th. Ultimo, from certain residents of Cascade City, and certified to as adopted and approved by the Cascade Taxpayers' Association, setting forth certain requirements of that section of Yale District, which in the opinion of the memorialists should be adjusted by my Government, and in reply to state that the' matter has been referred to, the Executive Council for their consideration. I have the honor to be Your obedient servant Thos. R. McIknes, Lieutenant-Governor. To Raise tho Brick Famine. In the course of a month there is every reason to believe that the preyajent scarcity of brick will be a thing of the past. J. Stagg has already erected suitable buildings at Christina lake, where he finds plenty cf clay adapted for brick making, and early next week will commence the manufacture of this needful commodity In about three or four weeks the new plant will have turned out close to 100,- 000 brick. Mr. Stagg claims to be a practical man at the business. He will undoubtedly receive* Urge patronage. i on the Sick List. James Lynot, one of the old time prospectors of this locality, came down from Castle mountain a few days since, and is now confined to his bed in the Grand Central hotel. Mr. Lynot has been working his claims almost steadily for nearly two years, and has great confidence in the district. He has two tunnels on the Mohawk, one of bis claims, and says that he has at last struck the, lead. He is receiving every care at the hotel, and his many friends hope he will soon be out again. School Board Will Petition. Cascade's school facilities are entirely inadequate for the rapidly growing population. This fact was embodied in the memorial recently sent to the government by the Cascade Taxpayer's Association; but the trustees propose to supplement that effort by a petition tn the government, specifying more particularly the needs of Cascade �� this respect. Already a letter has been sent to 8. D? Pope, superintendent of Education at Victoria, to ascertain the best mode of procedure, y mi . S i�����������������. ���-. The local school board consists of D. D. Ferguson, W. M. .Wolver- ton and A. H. Thompson. " It is thi intention ef the gentlemen to apply to have a separate school building, as the present structure is not large enough fdr the present requirments. George H. Casey, of Anaconda, Mont., who is interested in the Princess'Maud and otht* valuable Republic properties, was a visitor to the city this week. 2 THE CASCADE RECORD IN AND AROUND CASCADE. H. P. Griffin left this morning for a business trip to Greenwood. These frosty days it is noticed that leaves are falling���maple, and ���other varieties. James Dixon, one of the Gladstone townsite owners, spent a few days in Cascade this week. Rev. Bradshaw, of Grand Forks Methodist church, will hold service tomorrow evening at 7:30 at o'clock. Zero weather has been the rule nearly all this week in Cascade, the lowest that was noticed being three degrees below zero. Quite a large number are now engaged in cutting stove wood in and around the city, ��nd the de* mand is brisk. Mr. G. A. Hunter, of Nelson, B. C, general agent for the Manufacturer^ Life Insurance Co., of Toronto, is in the city. The hearing os Night Watchman Pat Kennedy for shooting Tim Sul- ivan is to come up this evening before Justices Rose and Rochussen. Miss Stuart, sister of Inland Rev enue Officer A. K. Stuart, is a guest of Mrs. Paul Rochussen, while on her way from Vancouver to England. C. Devon, of the Roma hotel, yesterday erected a large sign in front of his house. The work whs done by the veteran sign artist, S. W. Bear. James Henderson, formerly a resident of Alberta, has arrived in Cascade, and Will be associated with Oscar Stenstrom in the conduct of the Scandia hotel. A. K. Stuart, deputy collector of inland revenue, with headquarters at Greenwoo'd, was a visitor to Cascade this week. No seizures of smuggled goods are yet reported. Frederick Pel ton, a pedagogue, formerly of Nelson, was in town last Monday, en router to Anarchist mountain to take charge of the district school in that locality. The game law closes the reason for deer hunting next Thursday, December 15th. Venison has been scarce this year, on account of the blasting in railway building. ON THE CONSTRUCTION. What I la Going; on Just Now Along the Line. Between Robson and Brooklyn the bulk of the grading is now nearly done, and when one or two big cuts are finished by the first of the year the track layers will have a clear course-to the 3000 foot tunnel, four miles west of Brooklyn. Two miles on the other side of the tunnel is another high trestle, over Porcupine creek, thut will require another million feet or moreof timber. The greater part of this has been gotten out by Contractor Cameron, and the work of putting it in place will soon be started. Contractor Boomer, of Winters, Parsons & Boomer, who have five miles of work beyond Porcupine, has the greater part of his work completed, but will be in camp for a month or two yet, Working on a 40,000 cubic- yard cut and in putting on the finishing touches to their contract. Ever since the machinery for the air drills for driving the 3000-foot tunnel arrived, about a month ago, no effort has been spared to get the boilers, air receivers, piping, fittings, etc., to the tunnel site. The boilers have now been put under roof, and it is expected that by December 15th the 14 drills will be boring away at the 16x21 hole that is to be driven through the mountain. Pipes are being laid over the hill to the western side, so that work may be prosecuted simultaneously from both ends. In the meantime no time has been lost, and while awaiting the arrival and installation of the air drills the work has been proceeding by the slow hand process. As a result the western end is now into the mountain some 75 or 80 feet, and the eastern end not quite ro far. For 'a hundred or more feet at each end the tunnel must be timbered, as the material bored through is of a soft and crumbling character. Those timbers are now being hauled to the scene of operations. When the air drills are in full working order, about the middle of the month, it is estimated that 10 feet per day will be made.

KJKJKJK3K3KJK5 K3CS3K3K2K3CS: 1/> THE CASCADE RECORD 3 IVUWV i Importance of our Customs House Recognized at Last. Great Increase in Business Necessitated the Welcome Change. Cascade in to be made a regular sub-port of entry in the near future, and have the fame standing in the department of customs that is now accorded to Grand Forks and Midway. The office was originally established as a preventative sta tion and G. C. Rose placed in churge. But the business has grown to such an extent that Mr. Rose has been in fact performing the duties of a regular sub-collector, without the title or remuneration of that official. A short time since, at the request of Mr. Rose, Hewitt Bostock, our member in the Dominion parliament, telegraphed the customs authorities at Ottawa that additional help should be supplied without delay, as it was an utter impossibility for one or two men to give the service in Cascade adequate attention.As a matter of fact, there is sufficient work here for three cr four men. The first notification received by Mr. Rose was a telephone message from A. E. Ma- suret, representative of the;', Dominion customs at Bossburg, who had been wired to from Victoria, that Henry S. Sinclair, of Rossland, hud been ordered to report to the Cascade office for duty. This addition to the customs force here is expected almost any day, and will greatly facilitate the dispatch of business. Mr. Rose informs the Record that the new plans will advance this office, and undoubtedly make it a warehousing point���a need that has been jj.greaily felt, especially within the last few months. Heretofore it has been practically impossible to do otherwise than let importers take care of the goods themselves, whether duty was paid promptly or not. When the new regime takes full effect a warehouse will be supplied in which to store all such goods. Dissolved Partnership. The partnership that has heretofore existed between A. G. Williams and F. Elkins, known as the Boundary Stage & Express Co., was dissolved last Thursday, Mr. Elkins buying out the interest of Mr. Williams. The business will be conducted at the old stand by Mr. Elkins.

According to the Grand Forks Miner, the moral wave is now doing business in that city. Pat Hums, the noted meat man of the Ko.Henaays made a business trip through Cascade this week. F. H. McCarter, jr., of the Grand Forks Miner, was in town Monday and favored the Record with a call. W. Beach Willcox, of the Record staff, returned Thursday from a trip to Brooklyn, Nelson and Ross-! land. Mr. A. E. MaFUret, of Her Majesty's customs Bossburg, spent a few days in Cascade this week on business. Presbyterian services were held in the school house on Thursday evening last, by Rev. Wallace, of Grand Forks. Bobby Allen is still doing a frieghting business between Brooklyn and Cascade, and is getting a good deal of trade. Rev. Jas. McCoy has been appointed pastor of the Presbyterian congregation at Cascade, and will arrive here next week. The Boundary Creek Times, of Greenwood, will change its style with the first issue of the New Year, and appear in regular newspaper I form. H. L. Moody, owner of the Christina townsite, has given up carrying express matter from Bossburg. He goes to Spokane today to spend the Christmas holidays. Work has begun on the two story addition to the Alex Mason building on Main Street, near the Record office, to be soon occupied by Gaine <fc Roy, wholesale liquor dealer. J. S. Barber and wife, of Manitoba, arrived in the city Thursday night, and will make their home here. Mr. Barber is a mining man and made his first trip through this country in 1885. Ralph Smailes and Thomas Hardy are running for mayor in Greenwood, and Mayor Davis wishes to succeed himself at Grand Forks. Cascade has no troubles of this character as yet. The Grand Forks Miner should get another correspondent in Cascade, as much of the "authentic" news'is made of whole cloth. It is to be hoped that the rest of the contents of that bright sheet are of a more reliable character. A business men's association has been organized at Cascade. A similar organization is doing good work at Midway. Grand Forks has a regularly formed board of trade. Greenwood, the banner town of the district, has allowed its association to die.���Greenwood Times. L. A. Hamilton, land commissioner of the C. P. R., with headquarters at Winnipeg, who was expected in Cascade last week, is confined by illness in the home of his father-in-law at New Westminister. It will probably be 10 days before he is out. The Windsor Hotel, at Grand Forks, Messrs. Cox & Jones, proprietors, have recently been enlarging and improving their place, and now have 1G sleeping rooms. They propose to have a house second to none in these parts. Jim Ennis and Tom Flynn are fast completing their hotel at this place, and are preparing to do their share of the growing trade of this live town. They are both at home in this business and have a host of friends on the road, especially among the railroaders. The hotel is 20x80 with an addition, and the barn is 80x50 feet in size. McOrmond <fe Miller's new hotel is called the Victoria, and u favorably located on the main street. McPherson Bros. & Stuart's sawmill, located here, is cutting 30,000 feet of timber every twenty-four hours, being, of course, largely for bridges and trestles for the new railway. It will probably remain here till early in the new year, when it will be removed further along the construction. Mr. McPherson states that the new location has not yet been decided on. Work on the John Bull group, in charge of Jim Cameron, proceeds with unabated vigor, the property is looking better with every shot fired. There are now nearly 18 inches of snow on a level, and the sleighing is excellent. As a consequence freighters can bring merchandise in to much better advantage. The Hotel Gladstone is a busy house, and John Dorsey, the proprietor, is kept on the jump caring for his patrons. Loud complaint- is daily registered for our utter lack of mail facilities. With a good semi- weekly stage service, matters ought to be improved, and it is believed will be. BROOKLYN BUDGET. Alan Forrester, our provincial constable, returned on Wednesday from a month's vacation to Wetas- kiwin, Alberta. While gone Mr. Forrester took unto himself a wife, and is now receiving the congratulations of his numerous friend* here. Mrs. Forrester will not come to Brooklyn for the present. Since pay day business generally has been very fair. The reports sent out by irresponsible individuals that the bottom had fallen out of this town are misleading and false. The town will be good for some time to come yet. B^reighters are now using runners to haul goods on, although the last two miles, near town, are yet a little hard to pull over, owing to lack of sufficient snow. From there on to the end of the tote road, however, the sleighing is excellent. Win, Dobbins, who was recently brought here from Niagara by Officer Humphrey, charged with selling a watch that did not belong to him, was brought before Justices Cooper and Bull, and the case adjourned to permit him to bring witnesses, which he claims he can do. The watch originally belonged to Pat Murphy who cannot now be found readily. No move whatever has been made yet towards transferring the offices of the contractors to Cascade, and probably will not be made for some little time to come. The steamer Lytton has been taken off the Brooklyn-Robson route, and the Illicilliwaet now takes her place, doing a large business. W. H. REYNOLDS A. BRANSON * The Cosmopolitan ....

Trip By a Record Man to Brooklyn, and Observations on the way. A representative of the Record took a run this week over the wagon road from Cascade to Brooklyn. The mode of conveyance was the ftage line of Robert Wills, and as there was plenty of snow, no time was lost on the way, Mr. Wills having an excellent equipment and putting the team through at express speed. Leaving Cascade about 9 a. m. the new road to Christina was taken, and in a short time the main tote road was reached. The first stop was at Levally's hotel, a new and commodious building, having been recently erected, fronting on the road. Air. Levally's son was on hand, attending to the wants of all comers. He is preparing for a big wintei'.-i trade, which he is sure to receive. The road winds along the lake, the newly fallen 6now covering many rough spots and making the travel much better than on wheels. At the Cove, where the road leaves the lake, there is quite a settlement, the store and two hotels all doing a thriving business on account of the large number of railway men employed in that vicinity. The Cove Hotel, where F. J. Gorman is the presiding genius, is doing a large business and was full of patrons. Evidently Mr. Gorman mis selected a good location, and his many friends have no trouble to find him. After ascending the long hill that leads away from Christina lake, the road follows the valley of Mc- Raecreek forsometen miles, till the bustling town of Gladstone is reached. Plenty of snow had fallen, which was growing in depth as the road ascended. For many miles the journey was through the forest primeval, every tree bending over with its heavy weight of the beautiful white crystals, and reminding one of the stalagmites and stalactites of the great caves of the east, could they have been turned upside down. The Burnt Basin metropolis was reached by dinner time, and the inner man was refreshed at the bounteous tables of John Dorsey at the Hotel Gladstone, who has all the business he can possibly attend to. In fact, business has been so brisk that two new hotels have recently opened here. One of these is that kept by Ennis & Flynn, who are now well prepared to care for man or beast in the most approved style. Both are popular with the railroaders and the traveling public, and it goes almost without saying that they will get a good share of trade. Gladstone will always probably be a good point, on account of its close proximity to the Burnt Basin mines. The stores are doing well, and there is a general air of prosperity prevalent. From Gladstone the road continues to ascend steadily till the summit is reached, after the one descent to the now deserted location of McPherson Bros. & Stout's sawmill. Over two feet of snow had fallen, and the travelling was a little heavier on that account. In about three hours, however, the Half Way House came in sight, where a welcome was received from Scotty Donaldson. With Mr. Campbell, his partner, another old railroader, he has made preparations for a large business this winter. Further up the hill, on the very summit, the Summit House also was reached, where genial Andy Cummings is catering to an immense trade, many freighters reaching his place by nightfall. A mile further on Mr. Willr and and the scribe jumped out of the sleigh at the Divide hotel and put up for the night. If one can judge by appearances this house is a popular one, for it waB full to the eaves, the Graham Bros, having their hands full. Bright and early the next morning the journey was resumed, and from here on the road was much better, the snow being packed firmer. In rapid succession the Mountain House, the Ten Mile House and the Hotel Kootenay were left behind, each one seeming to have an excellent patronage^of its own. It was like taking atrip to the fairy land of childhood dreams, as the stage sped onward through the festooned monarchs of the forest, which kept their peculiar and inimitable as well as fantastic shapes, with the aid of Jack Frost and zero weather. Until within a couple of miles of Brooklyn the sleighing was excellent, and a few inches more of snow would make it almost perfect, even there. To any one contemplating the trip, the advice is to take the Wills stage line, as Mr. Wills thoroughly understands his business, has good teams and takes his patrons through in the best of time. One or two of Cascade's merchants have gotten in goods that way successfully, preferring the speedy receipt of merchandise, even though costing more, to the interminable delays which are the rule at Boes- burg, on account of the accumulation of freight destined for ail parts of the Boundary country. Internal Revenue Collector. G. S. Rose, Cascade's representative of Her Majesty's customs, has received word that he has been ap pointed as acting inland revenue officer for this part of the district. His reports will be sent to the Vancouver office, under which he acts in his new official capacity when occasion requires. Cascade's Bonded Warehouse. This city now has a bonded warehouse, which has been established for the convenience and at the instance of V. Monnier & Co., the enterprising wholesale liquor dealers of Cascade. The matter has been in process of official adjustment for some little time, and last Sunday the formal notification was received to the above effect, it being dated November 29th. Mr. Monnier has already built the requisite structure for this purpose in the rear of his building. Will Improve the Service. This week a Record representative interviewed C. O'Brien Reddin, president and manager of the Spokane & British Columbia Telephone Co., and called his attention to the miserable service afford, d business men in the Boundary country by his company. Mr. Reddin gave assurances that he was making every effort to improve the service in every way possible, and hoped before long to have it satisfactory in every respect. While the line is a long one to maintain, the tolls charged are high enough to warrant a first class service, and our business people will await with interest to see if Mr. Reddin carries out his promises.

Subscriptions |2 per year in lUlviWCO. Ail VOrtlsUlg rales on application. SATURDAY, DEC. 10, 1898. ALREADY BEARINQ FRUIT. The publishers of the Record have received the personal assurance of ���both James M. Martin, our member in the legislature, and of Attorney-General Joe Martin, that the memorial recently sent to them by the Cascade Taxpayers' Association shall have attention from the provincial capital. In fact, a constable has already been deffinitely ordered here and instructions have been given for the immediate construction of a suitable jail. This is as it should be, and the labor* of our member in this regard will certainly be appreciated by his constituents in this community. But the good work should not be allowed to stop here. There are other necessities almost aB pressing as those referred to above,which must have attention at once. This excellent beginning should be followed up by the appointment of another justice of the peace, by the establishment of a small debts court and last, but by no means least, the betterment of our school facili ties. These do not cover the list of needs, but they are wanted now, at once, for the general good of the entire community. The matter must not be dropped till at least some of the urgent requests are granted. THE WAVE COMINO. Signs multiply almost daily that next year, 1899, will see a wave of progress and prosperity, sweeping over the vast domain of British Columbia, such us has never been known in the history of the dominium During the last three years this part of Canada has gradually been attracting more and more attention in the financial centre of the world, and with each step the attention has been increasingly favorable. The latest and most important fact in this connection is the recent flotation of the new Le Roi company in London with a paid up capital of a million pounds sterling, the full number of shares being eagerly snapped up by the shrewd investors of Lombard street. Dividends speak in clarion tones when they reach the other side of the water, making sweet music in the ears of stockholders���and they have now learned that the Le Roi is a steady dividend payer. Our English brothers are slow to take to new fields for investment, but when they once decide, the decision means the expenditure of millions in whatever exploitation thev take hold of. The whole of British Columbia will feel the good effects of this willingness to invest in bona fide mineral properties, and as a large share of attention is now directed this way by force of circumstances, the Boundary country will benefit accordingly. This coming year will be one of wonderful progress here. A CASE IN POINT. Had the proper authorities provided the much needed jail in Cascade in due time, it is not likely that the shooting affray of last week would have occurred. The prisoners would have been in a safe place, and there would not have been the same temptation to release them, as apparently existed last Tuesday week. Not only is this the case, but the locating of a jail here will save the province much needless expense for transportation charges of prisoners and officers. However, the attorney-general has assured the Record that a suitable lock up would l>e constructed without delay, and that plana for it had already been applied for. That assurance will be a source of no little satisfaction to our citizens, and also a source of greater security. The average law-breaker will think twice if he knows there is a secure calaboose at hand, with a capable officer to preside over it, before he takes the chances now being taken only too frequently. The recent shooting of Kennedy and Sullivan illustrates the case to a nicety. If any one asks you what are the advantages of Cascade as a permanent point of prominence, just refer them to the first isrue of the Record, which contained the whys and wherefores in a nutshell. The first number of Inland Industry, a monthly published at Spokane, has reached the Record. It is a creditable publication in every way, and is devoted to the great Inland Empire, of which Spokane is the hub. Homer & Co., the publishers, are to be congratulated on the first issue of the publication. On Wednesday and Thursday of this week the C.P.R. celebrated the opening of the Crow's Nest Bass line, or British Columbia Southern, as it is officially known, by a free excursion to a large number of citizens of Kootenay towns. The party went as far as the Fernie coal fields, and report a most enjoyable occasion. The Nelson Daily Miner, now only two weeks under the new manager, Mr. Beeton, is showing un- miiitakable signs of improvement. Already it has been decided to make it a 7-column paper in the near future, the same size as the Rossland Miner. It certainly makeB a most decided difference when a newspaper man of experience and ability is at the helm of such a concern in such a field. Reports to the contrary notwithstanding, the Record has the best of authority for stating that the railway contractors have no intention of moving the hospital from Cascade. Some journals hereabouts, or their publishers, most certainly are blessed with a lively imagination, to put it mildly, or else are given premeditatedly to the promulgation of misleading statistics. It has taken the Spaniards a long time to make up their minds to the inevitable, but it had to come at last. Just how they will explain to their own satisfaction that their prated "honor" is at last satisfied, does not appear; but that little matter will probably be lost sight of in the trouble now arising in that country. The once vigorous and all powerful nation has, gradually deteriorated to a third or fourth class power, without a navy and minus the respect tf the civilized world. It is a long lane that has no turn. Hanson's Chop House Railroad men and travelers can get a good square meal at this place. Be with with the crowd, Eat at this house and You'll go away happy. CO.

Martin, informs the Record that on his tiip to Victoria last week he did not request, but demanded, that a jail be built here at once ; and he was advised that steps had already been taken to that end. If Mr. Martin keeps up the good work���and we believe he will���he will undoubtedly add to the long list of friends he now has in this part of the district.

Ludwig Johnson is an employee of Gaine & Roy, who have several stores in East Kootenay towns. But Mr. Johnson, in common with thousands of others, realizing that the Boundary country is the coming district, and likely to be the most important in Southern British Columbia in the near future, made a trip toCa-cade, and invested in one-half of a business lot. This, it happened, was not known to Mr. Gaine. The latter, however, also made a trip to the Gateway City, and was so impressed with the location and advantages of Cascade from a business point of view, that he also bought half a lot, with a building thereon, and arranged at once to move in a stock of goods. There is nothing unusual about either of these transactions. Similar ones take place daily. But it so happens that these two gentleman had purchased the two halves of the same lot, and when this fact was discovered this week, Mr. Johnson at once agreed to sell out to Mr. Gaine. the papers have accordingly been made out and signed. Tom Gaine, it is said, by the way, is an enterprising man, and his hotel in Coal Creek, or Fernie, as it is now officially called, was a decidedly popular piace. In Cascade he will have an unusual combination in his business. On one side of the store will be dry goods and on the other wet goods, so that he can accommodate any and all tastes. The wet goods, however, will be in the wholesale form only, and he will carry a large stock of everything in that line. At present he is in Nelson, hurrying up his shipments. He is expected back tomorrow, and will open up in aitout two weeks. The Wayfarer has noticed that about every other week a statement appears that some important department of the railway contractors will lie moved from Cascade to Niagara, Grand Forks, Greenwood, Timbuctoo, or elsewhere. Who inspires these notices does not yet appear, but within the last week the Wayfarer has taken the trouble to investigate at headquarters and finds there is absolutely no authority whatever for promulgating these misleading and erroneous statements. The contractors have given no such orders, and what is more, have no thought of doing so. Cascade is sure to be the most important point on the construction, and when the company's offices are moved here, in a month or two, is oound to remain so until the road is completed. By that time she will assume the place she is destined to take among Boundary cities���in the very front rank. -%- It was thought by Postmaster Cameron, when Inspector McLeod happened into the Cascade office a few weeks ago and could not purchase a stamp, that it would have a favorable effect on the Ottawa officials when requisitions for postage stamps were sent to Ottawa in K2K3K3K2K2K3K3K3K:K3K2K2K2K2K2K:K2K2CaK: The Merchants Bank of Halifax IXCORI'OUATEI) 1869. - - Paid-up Capital, $1,500,000.

But it appears that they do not yet appeciate the situation. Only yesterday Mr. Cameron received $123 worth of stamps in response to a requisition for $250 worth. Of those sent $25 worth mnst be returned to Rossland for a loan made recently. As a result of Postmaster-General Mulock's assistants being so wise in their day and generation, there is likely to be a stamp famine in the near futnre in Cascade. The present supply will last only a few days at best, although another requisition has been already forwarded. The Wayfarer. Grand Central Hotel Mcdonald & flood, props.

Hunter, the general merchant of Silver ton, Three Forks, Brooklyn, etc., and who is now���like many others- taking a bird's eye view of the Boundary country, with a view of locating. It is now over ten years since Mr. Hunter first struck the Slocan country, when railroads were an unknown quantity, and even the ill-fated steamer Ainsworth had not been thought of. In addition to being a successful merchandiser, as well as postrwaster at Silverton, Mr. Hunter is something of a politician at times. It is remembered how last spring he actually had the nomination to represent Slocan riding in the provincial legislature, in his inside pocket, but stepped gracefully down and out in favor of Bob Green, the present popular member from that section. Mr. Hunter, by the way, made many friends by that unselfish action. V Hall's place, some seven miles from Cascade on the Bossburg road, is well known to the thousands who travel to and from Boundary country, but not all of them are aware that the owner of the place is one of the original Hall Brothers, who were the fortunate discoverers of the now famous Silver King mine, near Nelson. Such, however, is the case. It was in 1887���the year after the Old Dominion mine at Colville was located���that the rich property on Toad Mountain was discovered. The peacock copper ore taken out at first was of an extremely rich character, and of course the Hall boys were highly elated. It is related that they only asked $3,000,000 for the property at that early stage in the game, but finally modified their ideas and accepted a million and a quarter, or thereabouts, from the English capitalists that formed themselves into the Hall Mines, Ltd. How this company built a smelter and have extensively operated the mine ever since, is now well known. Mr. Hall, whose home is at Colville, still retains an interest in the corporation. He also has a good thing in his bridge and place on Kettle river, which is the popular stopping point for stages and freighters, and is run by his sons. V One of the best known newspaper men of the early days in Rossland, was John R. Reavis, who was editor of the Rossland Miner, when it was about the size of the Cascade Record, and was published weekly. It is reported now, on seemingly good authority, that Mr. Reavis has not, after all, gotten over his love for newspaper work, but that after the first of the year he will start a weekly in Greenwood, to be called the News, and to be backed by a solid syndicate. If this proves to be the case, Greenwood will most certainly have another good weekly. As though this was not enough, it is also said that Mr. Reavis is likely to acquire control of the Grand Forks Miner, negotiations now pending to that end. John R. has an excellent style and will find a good field for his talents wherever he may decide to locate in the Boundary country. V With the Greenwood Times en larged to a six-column quarto and the News bidding for favor there also, there will surely be no dearth of news in that progressive and lively camp. Meeting of Licensing Board. Owing to the fact that P. J. Mc- Callum, J. P., of Upper Grand Forks, is absent, either Wm. Forrest, of Gladstone, or Paul Rochussen, of Cascade, will Bit with J. K. Johnson as a licensing court, on the 15th inst. The sessions of the court will be held at Grand Forks. It is to be regretted that steps were not taken in time to hold the sessions of the court here, as assurances have been received that this could easily have been arranged. As it is, all of our hotel keepers will have to go to the Forks next Thursday. Sawmill at Christina. Redfield & Wilson, who have been on the way with their sawmill from Badger Mountain, near Waterville, Washington, for some weeks, have at last arrived at the townsite of Christina on Christina lake, and are now hard at work installing the plant. They expect to be in full running order in a short time, when the lumber famine that has been prevalent for some time, will be broken. Fred Gribi is now offering special inducements in the bread line. Fourteen loaves can be had for one dollar. The cold weather of the last few days has increased the demand for fire wood and the wood dealers chuckle with glee. No word has yet been received in regard to the newly proposed water and light plant, although it is looked for every day. In the meantime the price of water, by the barrel, has been raised from 25 to 35 cents. James A. Jackson, formerly associate d with Andy Cummings in the conduct of the Summit House, has established the International Express Co., to run between Bossburg and Greenwood. For the present one trip weekly will be made. John Mahaffy, who will soon open a general store on First Avenue, arrived in the city with his stock of goods last Monday. His storeroom is now being completed, the shelving put in place, and he will soon be open for a share of the public patronage. G. W. Williams, of the Kettle River Stage Line, informs the Record that he expect0 before long to get orders to carry the mails via Bossburg instead of by way of Marcus, as at present. This will greatly increase the expedition of all postal business. The election for three fire wardens for CaBcade will be held at the post office on Monday the 12th inst. J. H. Good, the presiding officer, will be there from 10 to 11 a.m., on election day to receive nominations. All nominations must lie in writing and signed by two resident property holders. It is said that one of Missouri's best known industries is likely to lapse into innocuous desuetude. A few days ago a train robber was killed in an attempt to ply his vocation. If this thing keeps up, the Missounans will be forced to come to British Columbia to earn an honest living. HOTEL CASCADE .... C. H. Thomas, Prop. ...

V THE CASCADE RECORD MAN PROPOSES. A gentleman, who for some good reason���possibly because lie is a reviewer���has been condemned to read vast quantities of standard love stories, has catalogued the behavior of the ladies and gentlemen unconcerned in that which is the critical point of a love story. Something similar has been done before in the case of certain of the school of impassioned novelists, but never (we believe) upon such a grand and general scale, Mr. M'Anally, jun., has analyzed one hundred oases of accepted proposals, and fifty cases of rejections���a proportion which, we fear, scarcely represents the true ratio of the hazards of love���and the scale of his operations ic so wide and varied that he ought to i��e able to deduce even from these fictitious examples some rule of right conduct for those who may hereafter propose or he proposed to. It is most pleasant to begin with the hundred instances of accepted proposal; and first as to attitude. In twenty-six eases the gentleman sits upon a chair or a sofa ; in three he reclines upon the grass ; and this would seem to indicate that lawn-tennis is not such a potent factor in love making as some have imagined, or, at least, that it does not lead red-hot to proposals, as in those bygone croquet days when we proposed mallet in hand. We are glad to see that the cases of the gentleman going on one knee are only four, and on two knees only two; a fact which shows that heroes are finding out that this attitude is uncomfortable and unconvincing. Writers upon amatory etiquette have debated whether the proposal should be approached gradually or blurted out. The figures before us agree with our own opinion in the matter. Excluding such vague preliminaries as fidgeting, pulling out handkerchief, etc. four, and standing on one foot three, there are only nine instances of a formal prelude against sixty-throe of a sudden coup domain. There could surely be no better illustration of the policy of wooing boldly, especially when the lover's declaration contains the assertion that "he can not live without her"���81 cases. The fortress now carried, our attention is next turned to the behavior of the surrendering garrison. In eighty-one cases the lady sinks into the arms of the gentleman. This striking numerical coincidence with the figures just previously noticed will confirm the popular belief in the efficacy of that usual phase, and perhaps, the single case in which the lady prefers to sink into the arms of a chair was due to that phrase's omission. The disposition of the lady's head must next be considered. It should re��t on the gentleman's shoulder- -26 cases, preferably, on his breast��� 68 cases: in one case it rests on his knee, but that is obviously "another story." The claspingof arms round the gentleman's neck is only encouraged by 11 instances, which we are inclined to think must have been cases of widows. The gentleman's duty is now apparent. He kis?es the lady on the lips���67, on the cheek���4, on the hair���10 probably cases of elderly suitors--on the" hands���2, and once ''on the nose by mistake." He also holds her hands���72 cases, "very tight"��� 17. Three gentlemen weep to some extent, nine 6ay "Thank God!" aloud, fourteen have a lump in the throat, five have eyes calm and clear, seven are deliriously happy, and five say they are too full for utterance. Meanwhile, in fifty cases the lady also weeps, silently | 6 and audiably 44, and in seventy- two cases exhibits eyes full of love. There are no rules without eccentric exceptions; we have, therefore, to add that in one case, that of a girl under sixteen, she sneezes; in one case, that of an elderly spinster, she struggles not to be kissed; in three cases, evidently very old- fashioned, she refers her lover to papa, and in one case, that of a widow, she says "Yes, but don't be a fool!" From these happy scenes we must now reluctantly turn to the fifty cases of rejection; and here it is more especially that experience and counsel become necessary. Of the preliminaries we have no information���a fact which is regrettable, as they might often indicate how such disaster could be avoided. We only know what happens after the disaster. In forty-one cases the lady rises to her feet, weeping in seven cases and laughing scornfully in two. In only nine instances does she say she is sorry, but she promises to be a sister to him 17, or a friend 26, and she hopes that he will find another 11, or at least will always be happy 13. In one case she promises to pray or him. Sometimes she adds the information that she loves or is promised to another���in our opinion a merely useless and irritating addition���and in single exceptional cases she volunteers remarks, also objectionable, to the effect that he is too young for her, or that he is acting like a donkey, orjthat she cannot undertake the charges of his support; while in one instance of refined cruelty she asks him if his mother knows what he is doing. We regret to say that the rejected gentleman's behavior is scarcely worthy of the lord of creation. Perhaps the best thing he can do is what he does in thirty-one cases ���rush madly away; and, next best to say he will go home, of which we have thirteen examples. In other cases he says he will go for a soldier 1; to sea 4; to commit suicide 6; to the devil 1. Rightly, we think, seven gentlemen refuse to let the the ladies tie their sisters, and wrongly, four refuse to be their friends; while with possitive wickedness, the one gentleman who had the promise of prayers refuses to be prayed for. There is very little crying���only two instances of wiped eyes; though, of course, we do not know what the rejected ones did after they rushed madly away��� but four rude men say they hope never to see their loves again, and one declares point blank that he will marry another. Curses are creditably deficient���six impersonal against bad luck generally; nine personal against supposed rivals Happily there is but a single instance on record when the disappointed suitor a [cavalry officer] incontinently proceeds to throttle the lady, and, when her screams bring her father to her help, splits his skull with a handy bludgeon. The conduct of the hands upon such occasions is almost as "nice" as that of "a clouded cane" used to be in the days of "Great Anna." Only three rejected gentlemen tear their hair���which is out of date, especially now that hair is scarcer than it used to be���but seven pull Cosmopolitan i Cafe.

The first regular meeting of the Cascade Taxpayers' Association was held in the office of the Cascade Development Co., on Tuesday evening, Dec. 6th. The names of some seven new applicants were received and entered on the roll of membership. The association now has thirty-five members. The matter of the appointment of fire wardens was brought before the meeting, and after considerable discussion it was decided that the associat'on would recommend the names of Messrs. Stocker, Earle and Elkins to fill the offices, A committee consisting of Messrs. Flood, Gtenstrom and Stocker was appointed for the purpose of securing a proper person to act as night watchman for the town. Mr. Wilgrers, right-of-way agent for the C. P. R., was present, and favored the association with a short address. During the course of his remarks he stated that since his last visit here the town had made such rapid strides in the way of building and street improvements, that one would scarcely know it was the same place. He also stated that in his opinion it was the most favorable location for a smelter in this district. The mines in the vicinity would undoubtedly demand one, as they are every day attracting more and more attention outside. In conclusion he wished the association every success in the good work which they had undertaken. The meeting then adjourned until Tuesday evening, Dec. 20th. Ethics in a Mining Camp. The strict moral theories of eastern cities are of little practical value in a mining camp. Conditions as they exist must be dealt with. Any attempt to force miners and prospectors to cease the practice of risking money on cards will prove a failure. The average miner does not see any harm in the practice, and so long as he does not he will continue to enjoy a quiet game of draw or Black-jack. As far as the good order of the town is concerned, no great harm can arise from three or four men playing a quiet game. If hotel men, however, turn their bar rooms into gambling joints and allow professional gamblers to run games in the back rooms of their houses, they may expect visits from the police and trouble for their houses. The professional gentleman who does nothing excepting to swindle the innocent at cards, deserves consideration neither from the hotel men nor the police.���Greenwood Times.

E.M.DANA. ���1 THE CASCADE RECORD 11 SHORT STORIES. Tradition hands down an awful break made by a well-meaning American gentleman, who, in his embarassment, genially assured Pope Pious the Ninth that he had had the pleasure of a presentation to his father, the late Pope, many years before. On the occasion of the wedding of the late Duchess of Teck to her handsome but impecunious husband, her brother, the Duke of Cambridge, gave vent to his unfortunate habit of thinking aloud. When the Duke of Teck solemnly pledged himself with all his wordly goods to endow the bride, the Duke of Cambridge marred the solemnity of the occasion by exclaiming quite audibly : " Well, by Jove ! And Wales gave him his shirts." There was a story told in Punch of a loquacious Irish waiter, who was filling up a military guest with a most remarkable account of the dangers he had been through while in the service. " Why, sor," said he, "I was standin' up agin a three in the Soudan desert, when a bullet sthruck me here (indicating his left breast) and whint roight thru' me." "But" said his listener, " that would have killed you, as your heart is there." " Shure sor, but me heart was in me mouth at the toime." A tourist stopping at a small country hotel in England, seeing the hostler expert and tractable, inquired how long he had lived there and what countryman he was. " I'se Yorkshire," said the fellow, "and ha' lived sixteen years here." "I wonder," replied the gentleman, "that in so long a period so clever a fellow as you seem to be have not come to be master of the hotel yourself." " Aye," answered the hostler, " but maister's Yorkshire, too." The Carlyles had a maid who was untidy, useless in all ways, but "abounding in grace" and in consequent cen*ure of everyone above or below her and of everything she could not understand. After a long apostrophe one day, as she was bringing in dinner, Carlyle ended with, "And this I can tell you, that if you don't carry the dishes straight, so as not to spill the gravy, so far from being tolerated in heaven, you won't be even tolerated on earth. It is related as a fact that about a year ago a house in Wichita, Kas., was entered by a burglar and a pocket-book containing a sum of money was stolen. A few days ago the owner of the purse received a letter through the mails, enclosing a $10 hill and the following note: "A year ago I stole a pocket- book from you containing $60. I have been sick, and remorse has been knawing at my heart, so I send you $10. When remorse gnaws again I will send you some more. Burglar. Mr. Aspinwall, a clever and reckless barrister, famous in the sixties in Victoria for his fun and audacity, was addressing an election meeting in Ballarat, the "golden city." The lively advocate had come to that time in his career when much whiskey and soda had wrought palpable havoc with his complexion. His speech ended, and questions were invited. "Aspinwall!" bellowed a stalwart digger, "tell us what make?1 your face so red." "Blushing at your confounded impudence, sir!" was the quick reply. It carried the meeting. It was one of Piatt Evan's pleasures to teach his friends how to purchase tender geese, though he could not always get them in the market. One morning he saw a lot, and inquired about how many there were. " About a dozen," was the reply. " W-w-well," said Piatt, " I k-keep a boarding house, and my boarders are the biggest e-eaters you ever s-s-saw. P-p-pick out nine of the t-toughest you've g-got." The farmer complied, and laid aside the three tender ones. Piatt picked them up carefully, and, putting them in his basket, said, "I b-b-believeI'll take these three." The late Eugene Field oncd played a practical joke on two carloads of Kansas City merchants, who were going on an excursion. Each car was to go by a different route, and the cars separated at an early hour in the morning when everybody was asleep, except Field, who was along to write up the trip. Just before the cars parted company, he carried all the shoes from one sleeper into the other and carefully exchanged them. The next morning there was a blue streak two ways across Kansas. Every man in both sleepers was miles and and miles away from his shoes. Some years ago, says a writer, in the Youth's Companion, I was in camp with a friend of mine in Canada. Toward morning I woke shivering with cold. The fire was very low. My companion was sound asleep. It isn't nice to get out of a warm blanket to haul frosty logs to the fire, so I gave Wyndham a kick, and then pretended to be asleep. There was no response, and by and by I tried another kick. Then the old scoundrel burst out laughing. " I did the same thing to you fifteen minutes ago," he said ; " that's how you came to wake up." Col. Sam. Hughes, of the Lindsay Wardner, in one of his letters descriptive of his recent visit to Scotland, tells a libellous story of the bagpipes. Here it is : It is said that on one occasion in the Crimea there were forty-two wounded soldiers in one room, all doing well except a scarred hero of Sir Colin Campbell's famous Highland Brigade. As he lay from day to day, slowly dying, his ear turned back to the " Hielan Home in Lochaber," and he longed to hear the bagpipes. His request was granted. The pipers played around the room for an hour, and the Highlander recovered���but the remaining forty- one died! There* are some entertaining pictures of life in Washington seventy years ago in Stratford Canning's diary and letters. "My predecessor," he writes, "was Sir Charles Bagot, a man of very attractive manners, intelligent, witty and kind. An American minister and his wife dining with him one day, he heard Lady Bagot, who was at some distance, say rather quickly: "My dear Mrs. Simpson, what can you be doing?' The salad-bowl had been offered to Mrs. Simpson and her arm was lost in it up to her elbow. Her reply was prompt: "Only rollicking for an onion, my lady,'" All kinds of job printing furnished on shortest notice at the Record office.

The Porto Rico mill, near Ymir, has commenceil running under the superintendency of J. C. Garvin. A crown grant, will shortly he applied for the Shiloh mineral claim, situated about a mile from Ymir. The British American Corporation has succeeded in floating the LeRoi in England on a $5,000,000 basis. The final payment of $13,000 was made on the California group of claims, near New Denver, on December 1st. A contract has been let to sink a 100-foot shaft on the Jocker Mineral Group, situate on Coffey creek, in the Slocan City division. The Tamarack claim, in Ainsworth camp, was recently purchased under a bond from the owners, Messrs. Lind & Stahlberg, by V. A. Johnson, of Kaslo. The purchase price is $15,000, ten per cent of which was paid down. An organization known as the "Slocan City Miners' Exchange," was recently formed in Slocan City. This is a step in the right direction, and no doubt will prove itself to be of considerable benefit to the miners and prospectors in that vicinity. Good progress is now being made with development work on the eleven claims constituting the Leviathan Gold Mining & Milling Company, Ltd., opposite Kaslo. This proposition promises to become a very valuable property, the iron capping, which can be traced for over three miles, is surricently good indication that pay ore can be easily reached. The new compressor building, water tank and other houses have been completed on the Iron Horse this week. The boiler and some other parts of the compressor plant are on hand and being put in place, and the balance of the machinery will 1), in position by the end of the coming week. Mr. Pfunder is hurrying things as fast as possible, and being an adept in the art of management, he will soon have the Iron Horse compressor whistling the signal to go to work in the big new shaft.���Rossland Record.
