THE CASCADE RECORD
Vol. I.
CASCADE, B,C. DECEMBER % 1898.
No. 5.
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.

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.

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.
TEAS.
This is where we
shine.
We make a specialty of the
finest kinds of Teas���teas that
will remind you of the old
folks, back on the old farm.
We have sold Teas for years
���made a stndy of them, in
fact���and we've never had a
better stock than you'll find
here now.
If you want Teas just like
the Emperor of China drinks,
come and sample our choice
and fragrant blends. We are
sure we can please you.
While Tea is our specialty,
do not forget that we have
everything in the Grocery
line, and at right prices.

B^reighters are now using runners

lack of sufficient snow. From

however, the sleighing is excellent.

found readily.
No move whatever has been
made yet towards transferring the
offices of the contractors to Cascade,

THE   CASCADE   RECORD
OVER THE TOTE ROAD.
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.

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.

It is evident, even at this early
stage, that Cascade will receive
recognition by the government officials at Victoria. Our member,
J. M. 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.

THE   CASCADE   RECORD
| BY THE WAYSIDE. 1
A day or two since the Wayfarer
learned of a transaction in Cascade
realty that was amusing, to say
the least. 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.

Cameron, when  Inspector McLeod

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   CASCADE   RECORD
THE PASSING THRONG.
Perhaps no one is better known
in southern Kootenay than Wm.
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.

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

TAXPAYERS' ASSOCIATION.
First Regular rfeetlng��� New rtembers
Admitted���Mr. Wilgrers Present.
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.

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,'"

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
