V THE CASCADE RECORD Vol. I. CASCADE, B. C, DECEMBER 31, 1898. No. 8. Contractors are Bringing Goods From Brooklyn. PEING HAULED OVER TOTE ROAD. Chances Excellent for Headquarters Coming Here Also. It is evidently the intention of Mann, Foley Bros. & Larson, the head contractors for 105 miles of the construction of the Rnbson- Penticton branch of the Columbia & Western railway, now building through this city, to make' this the headquarters and main office of the Ann' in the near future. While no positive announcement to this effect has yet been given out, there are several straws that show this is the'strong probability. Mr. Sheppard, storekeeper for the contractors in Cascade, states that arrangements have been made to haul some of the merchandise from the warehouse in Brooklyn over the tote road to this point, and that several teams have already hee^i sent across the mountains to Brooklyn for this purpose. It is said further, that by the early part of next week a dozen four-horse teams will he employed at this work. The goods to be brought nv'er first will be powder. While there is work on several contracts to keep some gangs of men busy in spots on the other side of the divide for a month or two, the grading is done to a large extent, and consequently the need for having headquarters so far from trje centre of the hulk of the remaining work, is growing less apparent every day. That the contractors will move their office over this way before long seems to he a foregone conclusion, and equally so that it will he located here in Cascade. When this is done it will undoubtedly be of no small benefit to the city. 1 * *��� r - NOTES. The contractors are now putting up a branch storehouse near Greenwood. Some merchandise will he sent up from Cascade. Pat Welch was in town this week from Niagara, where he has about .350 men employed. He has secured more work out near Midway, and has established a new camp at that town." Burns & Jordan have also secured another contract, between Midway and Greenwood. ,-, A. Lindatrom is the only one now carrying newspapers on the line of construction. His welcome visits are made to nearly every camp on the line, from Brooklyn to Cascade, 'regularly every week* He always uses the Trot & Walker line to ' make his rounds. The payroll on the construction for November, is said to amount to about $125,000, which is equal to that of the previous month. Paymaster Woodman's assistant, Mr. Smith, has returned to Brooklyn from his check distributing trip. As a consequence checks on the Bank of Montreal are more plentiful all along the line. STAGE LINE SOLD. The Kettle River Outfit Has Changed Hands The G. W. Williams Kettle River Stage Line was reported sold this week to a syndicate at a price said to be $6,500. 'I he sale carries with it the contract for carrying the mail and also includes all the horses, wagons, stages and si ighs owned by Mr. Williams and which have done uuch excellent service in the bringing of passengers into the Boundary country for so long a time. It is said that Mr. Williams has been retained as manager of the line by the new owners, and that he is now in Spokane securing a carload of horses to add to the equipment. The above is the substance of countless rumors that have heen floating around for several days past. The new owners are the prompters of the townsite of Upper Grand Forks, who have recently taken hold of that proposition. It is also said to be the intention to build a bridge or two over Kettle river near the new town, in order to give quicker communication. Bell & Duncan's stage line is reported to hi ve given an option on their excellent outfit to the same concern, but, so far as can be learned, it has not vet been taken up. Should tbis be done, or should any change he made in the present arrangement of having all the stages stop over night in Cascade, it is almost a certainty that a new stage line will be put on between Cascade and Bossburg at once. Maple Leaf Plant Oone. Last Wednesday the printing plant of the late defunct Maple Leaf paper, that had a brief and fitful existence in Cascade, was bundled on a freight wagon and started westward. It is understood that it will be used in the town of Upper Grand Forks for the publication of a weekly in the interests of that section, and the Record wishes its proprietors all possible success in the new venture. This plant has had a varied experience. Coming originally from Toronto in the summer of 1897, it was used as a job annex to the News of Kaslo. In February, 1898, when Kuskonook boomed, it was used for the publication of the Searchlight in that town. In June it suddenly moved back to Kaslo for political purposes, and came out shortly as the Slocan Sun for a few weeks. Then it lay quiescent till it took a longer journey to Cascade, where it soon ran its race. R M. Nisbet has stuck by the plant since it first saw Kaslo. and is still with it. W. J. Saunders joined his fortunes with it in Cascade. Pat Burns' Manager lias Joined the Benedicts. MR, E. A. SMITH FOLLOWS SUIT. Latter Was the First Wedding Occurring in Cascade City. Two of Cascade's yound men have reformed the past week and decided to turn over a new leaf by taking life partners to help smooth the future pathways. Both have heen busy for the last few days in acknowledging the ninny congratulation showered upon them by their many friends. The first of these weddings was that of Kingman Natt Rees, the popular manager for P. Burn & Co.. of Cascade, who quietly slipped off to Spokane, and was married there last Saturday to Miss Bertha Irene Estabrooks. The ceremony was performed in the Pacific Hotel by Rev. Dr. Van Osdel, pastor of the First Baptist church of that city, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Stocker, who were in Spokane on a visit were present at the wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Rees returned at once to Cascade and have taken up their residence at Hotel Cascade. Mrs. Rees is a native of New Brunswick, hut.has heen living for some years in Boston, Mass., whence she came direct to Spokane last week to meet Mr. Rees. cascade's first wkdding. Edmund A. Smith and Miss Gertrude Pearson had the honor, last Wednesday evening, of being the first couple ever married in Cascade. The ceremony took place at Black's hotel, and was solemnized by Father Palmer, of Trail. The bridesmaid was Miss Lizzie Mc- Intyre and the best man was P. J. O'Reilly. Both bride and groom are well known in Cascade and have the best wishes of a wide circle of friends. A wedding supper was served at the hotel after the ceremony. Both newly married couples were serenaded after the Wednesday evening ceremony in true old fashioned style, and both grooms did the honors of the occasion. Bread like your mother used to make, light and sweet, at Barry & Hepburn's bakery, rear of Curtis' grocery. Try it. Tomorrow being New Years day, the regular Roast Beef and Plum Pudding with Brandy Sauce, and various other delicacies of the season will constitute the dinner at the Columbia Dining Parlor. '35 cents. Chab. M. Hitch, Prop. IN AND AROUND CASCADE A. Branson was in town from Greenwood yesterday. Bobby Wills had 32 pieces of" baggage on his stage when it arrived last night from Gladstone.1* A stage line is scheduled to he- gin regular trips today over the snow road between Kettle Falls and Marcus. Next Tuesday evening the regular jsemi-monthly meeting of the Cascade Taxpayer's Association will be held at the townsite office. John Mclntire, the Forks pedagogue, and Rev. Wallace, of the same town, came over on Wednesday, making the round trip on their bicycles. A watchmaker and jeweler will soon open up in Cascade, from Rossland. One of McDonald *v. Flood's new stores has heen rented for that purpose. Mr. Grierson, of Bonner's Ferry, who was appointed to assist Collector Rose at Cascade, has failed to arrive as yet, and it is probable that another appointment will be made. Mail service between Grand Forks and Cascade must be ;n a bad way, as it takes the Miner four, five and sometimes six days to cover the 13 miles between the two places. After the first of the year it is understood that the down train will pass Bossburg about three' hours later than at present, hut no change will be made in the time of the up train. Jas. H. Good,who is spending the holidays with his family at Rossland writes that the old fire bell in that city cannot he secured for Cascade, as it is to be used for school ��� purposes there. > The Bossburg Journal gives A." Bradley, who recently sold a patent gas lamp for future delivery throughout this district, a rather uncomplimentary send-off. Mr. Bradley always collected in advance, and some of his orders are yet unfilled. Postmaster Cameron is celebrating his birthday today by placing the new imperial 2c stamps on sale, the supply having arrived last night. On page 6 will he found a list of countries where they will take a half-ounce letter to. Canada is not one of them. It is confidently hoped to secure the services of School Inspector Burns for a free lecture on the chemistry of metals. Mr. Burns is now in the Kootenays, but is expected over here shortly. The subject referred to is one in which Ms: Burns is particularly well versed^ and such a lecture here would be highly appreciated. Victor M. Smith, who built several miles of the grade on our new railway line on Lower Arrow lake, stopped jn Cascade yesterday, on his way to the front where new sub-contracts are being let. His brother, Assistant Paymaster Smith was also in town at the same time- on his return trip to Brooklyn. '2 THE CASCADE RECORD, DECEMBER 31, 1898 I !

C, ��� ktiL^KJ.* I ��� ITALIAN BANKERS MISSINQ They Left Very Suddenly for Parts Unknown. Frank Oliver and Gracchino Stabile, who have been posing as Italian bankers on the railway construction, are now anxiously wanted by a number of irate fellow countrymen around Niagara and elsewhere, who assert that money entrusted to them for transmission to the old country, had never reached its destination. Al. Rizzuto of Niagara, came to Cascade on Wednesday, to try and trace Stabile and Oliver, who he said bad skipped out a day or two before, one going to Nel��on and the other to Spokane, but so far has not been able to get them. He, with A. Sprovieri, who now run the White Star hotel at Niagara, were formerly in partnership with Oliver and Stabile, but recently bought the bankers share of the business. He asserts that there are a large number .if Italians at Niagara who would make it decidedly warm for the pseudo bankers if they could be got at. Oliver had a contract at the switchback last summer, and Stabile, who is a fluent linguist and bad the confidence of his countrymen, formed a partnership with him in Brooklyn. Later they came to Niagara and gave it out that they would establish branches all over the country. Mr. Rizzuto returned this morning to Niagara, to get further instructions from the dupes of the so-called blinkers. Bought a Townsite. A. W. Ross, of Toronto, J. B. Mc- Arthur of Rossland and C, S. Morris, of Rat Portage, representing a Toronto syndicate, have purchased the townsite of Upper Grand Forks, which is about a mile and a half from the lower town or Grand Forks proper. The owners of the property were Charles Hay and Neil McCallum. It is claimed that the consideration for the property was $70,000. Mr. Ross is known as an enterprising operator, and the new town, which it is said will be renamed either Columbia or Yale, will soon be one of importance. Back from Rossland Wm. Forrest, J. P.. of Cascade and Gladstone, returned this week from Rossland, where he has been for two or three weeks, negotiating the sale of the Gladstone townsite. He slates that the option was given as stated in last week's Record to an eastern syndicate, for $30,000, and it is expected it will be taken ^up in the course of 30days. Messrs. Forrest, Cameron, Dixon and Good are the present owners of the property, Mr. Forrest states that large numbers of people in Rossland are much interested in Cascade and in the entire Boundary country. SOCIAL DANCE A social dance will be given in the Railroad Headquarters Hotel Hall, under the auspices of Mrs. Jennie Carter, on Monday Evening, January 2nd A special orchestra has been secured for the occasion, and no effort will be spared to make this a grand success. A cordial invitation is extended to all. THE DOMINION Supply Co., Wholesale and Retail. Adjoining Commekciai. Hotel. We are now in Full Swing with a Full Stock of New School District School Trustee Ferguson this week received a letter from S D. Pope, superintendent of public instruction, in response to one from Cascade, which indicates thai a separate school district will be created here when the usual requirements are complied with. One of these is the cataloguing of every child in the proposed district between the ages of six and sixteen years, and forms for this purpose have been sent. Mr. Ferguson is now busy at this work, aided by Mr. Matheson, the teacher, and will appreciate any assistance that can be given by parents and others. It is also the intention to press the claims of Cascade for a permanent school building. Boots and Shoes, Underwear, Clothing, Blankets and comforters, Hardware, Horse Shoes and Nails, Groceries, Hams and Bacon, Tinware, Lamps, Etc.

The Cascade Hotel Keepers Protective Association held a meeting last Wednesday evening, to transact general business and consider bids for furnishing water and ice to the various hotels here. The bid for furnishing water was from I). C. Fletcher, who offered to supply it at a flat rate of 25 cents per barrel. There were several bids for putting up ice, as follows, per ton: W. H. Disorone, $3.75; Mr. Thomas, $2,50; Rich And��rson, $1.90; D.C.Fletcher, $3.75; John Lane, $2.00; Charles A. Sawyer, $2.75. It is probable that both contracts will be awarded at once. Another Justice Applied For During the last week a petition was circulated among our business men, and generally signed, asking for the appointment of D. J. Matheson as a justice of the peace in this city. The petition met with the hearty approval of Wm. Forrest, J. P., and last Thursday night he forwarded the Fame to Victoria. It is believed that, it will be favorably acted upon without delay. Increasing the Force ThU week the force of men on the big dam to be built on Kettle river above the fulls, has been augmented, and Fi reman Simmons now has a dozen men busily at work. It is said that in a few days the number will be increased to probably 30, in order to get as much of the work as possible done before the water begins to get high enough to be troublesome. The Parsons Produce Co., of Winnipeg and Nelson, expect to put a supply depot in Cascade in the near future. The best meal served in the city is at the Columbia Dining Parlor for 35c. THE B.

While en route from Spokane to Republic last week, where he has valuable mining interests, he put up at the Hotel Cascade. On the way in from Bossburg there were two young men and two young ladies on "the stage, and Mr. Fraser noted with his philanthropic eye that the young men appeared none too well off in this world's goods. Accordingly���the entire party having stopped ai the same hotel��� when he paid his bill in the early morning, he told the clerk he would also settle for the others who came on the stage with him���meaning the young men aferesaid. But the clerk supposed he referred to the er.tire party, young ladies and all, stated the amount, and it was quickly paid. ��������� The next morning both the ladies and the men were astonished to rind that all of their hotel bills had been liquidated by the benevolent gentlemen who had been their fellow passenger the day previous��� who had also been careful to get away early to avoid meeting the others. Mr. Fraser returned this week and it was learned that it was his intention to pay only for the young men, and not for the ladies. Now, the question arises, does Uncle Fraser get credit in this or the next world, for performing a benevolent action unintentionally���so far as the ladies' case is concerned ? V Alien Lean was captain of the ill-fated steamer Ainsworth that was capsized a few miles from Pilot Bay, in Kootenay lake, a few weeks ago, by which nine lives were lost. Mr. Lean is now in Cascade, leisurely taking in the Boundary country, and doing a little photographing on the way. The Nelson Board of Trade passed resolutions exonerating Capt. Lean from any blame for the catastrophe shortly after its occurrence. The Ainsworth had been laid up for a! while in the fall, hut when the contract for the construction of the Nelson & Bedlington was let, there was plenty of business, and she was put on her run once more. It was on the first trip after this that the boat keeled over in the severe squall the story of which has already passed into history. V Howard C. Walters, of Spokane, who was in Cascade this week, can safely he placed among the pioneers of this part of British Columbia. Years ago, when dozens of experienced mining operators would not so much as look at the rich ledges in the Boundary country, Mr. Wai- ters organized a syndicate to take hold of the Skylark, Providence and other claims, where the ore was of high grade. It was packed 50 or 60 miles to Marcu*, and shipped to the smelter with some profit. Few men would care to tackle such a proposition. This was in 1892-3, when any one who would take hold of claims so far from transportation was looked upon as a little loose in the upper story. But Mr. Walters knew what he wai about, V His strong point was the success' ful flotation of new companies���and showing where and how it is profitable. In 1894 he took hold of the great Snowshoe mine at Libby, Montana, and his company spent a couple of hundred thousand dollars there on tramways, concentrators, development, etc. It is a low grada galena proposition, hut there is a mountain of ore. Through some sharp practice he was ousted from the management of the company. As a result the concern rapidly went to the how-wows, through the mismanagement of inexperienced people in control. A short time since Mr. Walters was requested to again assume control at the Snow- shoe, and is now rapidly pulling that great property on its feet. In the meantime he operated most successfully at Rossland, the flota tion of the Sunset No. 2 being largely due to his efforts. This case illustrates what a man with push and indomitable energy can do in British Columbia. He told the writer once that when he first struck Rossland in 1896, he was so low down financially that he actually did not have money enough to pay his way out. But he was a great worker and success crowned his efforts. Working on New Jail Contractor N. Robinson has got work well started on the new provincial jail, to be built here. The site is on the flat, not far from the Commercial and Black's hotel. Officer Darraugh will shortly he able to move into his new quarters in the building, but says there is no competition whatever as to who will have the privilege of being his first guest.

After the first of the year it is understood that the down train will pass Bossburg about three hours later than at present, but no change will be made in the time of the up train. On application of Solicitor Ernest Miller of Grand Forks, the case of Frederick H.Hughes of this city, charged with attempting to pass a worthless check here, was postponed by Justice Rochussen till Tuesday, January 3d.

Frank Woods and wife arrived here last Friday. Mr. Woods, who was one of the first hotel men in Greenwood, expects to locate here. Provincial Constable Jarvis, who has been transferred to Gladstone, was in town on Tuesday and left for Cascade Wednesday morning. Another new hotel commenced building on Main street yesterday. Mr. Reeve, the proprietor, is a well known hotel man from East Kootenay. Mr. McNeish, from Slocan City, who represents E. Parris & Co., is building a store. The contract for the structure was let to Mr. W. Mc- Nee. On completion of this building Niagara will have five general stores. A big strike was made the other day on the Pathfinder claim, which is located about three miles from Niagara. The owners expect to have a gang of miners at work shortly, and thorough development will be prosecuted. Seven four-horse teams from Bossburg, loaded with freight, arrived today. Their cowing was hailed with delight, as, owing to the enormous Xmas trade, three hotels were completely out of wet goods and cigars. Paymaster Woodman's assistant, A. W Smith, was busily engaged at Pat Welch's camp, near here, yesterday issuing bank checks to the railroaders, and the inhabitants of Niagara imagined it was another Christmas eve, judging by the drinking done last night. Manager Holbrook, of the daily stage line between here and Greenwood, has established an express office in Niagara, and, in order to facilitate quicker travel, changes horses here as well as at Boundary City. The journey between here and Greenwood is now accomplished in three hours. A petition, bearing one hundred and thirty signatures, was forwarded to the post office inspector at Victoria, requesting that a post office be established, here, 'this is the second petition that has, been forwarded to Victoria. Mail has increased so much during the last month that two well filled sacks have been arriving here daily, and as many as fifteen letters have been taken down by the stage driver in one day for registration at Grand Forks.

If the former, then connection would be made with their steamboat service on Okanagan lake, and if with the latter, then would railway connections he made with the Shuswap and Okanagan railway, which runs from Vernon and joins the C. P. R main line at Sicamous. That some such movement is contemplated is adduced from the fact that active surveying operations are being carried on to the west of Midway, and as these operations are to extend throughout the winter and are to he confined to the valley of the Kettle river, until the height of land is reached which divides the valley of the said river from that of the Okanagan, there would seem to be room for the conjecture referred to. If it is decided to make connection with Penticton then would the line be no doubt carried from the summit of the divide down Pentic ton creek, whereas if Vernon is the objective point then the height of land would be followed until the head of Mission creek is reached, and then the line would be carried down this creek to the Okanagan Mission valley, by following which north Vernon would easily be gain- ed. Whatever the policy of the company is, no doubt the near future will see it revealed, and if to the upper Okanagan district railway connection is given with Boundary Creek and the Kootenay, such an era of prosperfty will be ushered in for the farming communities to the north, as will compensate them for years of waiting.���Midway Advance.

The corporation of the city of Grand Forks has given a note for $1500 to the Mac Machine Co. of Trail. Frank Holt returned from Greenwood Wednesday, and states that the early location of a smelter at Cascade is all the talk at Greenwood. * John Lane has been busy this week in storing about 100 tons of Kettle river ice in the new house built by P.

Freeborg it Stone expect to complete their small contract this week. Anderson & Applequist, this side of Booner's, have three cuts left, which will be finished in the course of a month. Olof Olsen's tunnel, located about 28 miles from Cascade, is now in about 185 feet. Some 00 men are employed. Fosb & McDonald, on Lower Arrow Lake, are giving the finishing touches to their contract at that point. Twohy Bros., whose contract is the nearest to Brooklyn of any, will have a force busy there for six weeks or more. All the tunnels are bored on the line between Wes-t Robson and the 3,000 foot tunnel, which is four miles west of Brooklyn. Burns & Jordan, at their first contract on Lower Arrow Lake will employ 25 or 80 men for a couple of months yet, putting up stone walls. Boomer's No. 2 camp still has 80 men on the roll. In a couple of weeks this contract will be completed with the exception of the 40.000-yard sand cut, which will require two months yet. The big bluff, where the road turns west from the lake, high above Brooklyn, is done, and a couple of weeks will see that part of the line ready for the steel. At the large sand cuts about five miles this side of Gladstone, the main firm of contractors, Mann, Foley Bros. & Larson, are doing the work, having about 60 men employed. Not a stick of timber is yet in place for the high trestle over Porcupine creek, which requires 1,250,- 000 feet or more. Much of it, however, is on the ground, and John Cameron, the contractor, is busy still hauling it in. Sixty men are at work at O'Leary's camp, at Shield's Landing,building the stone walls for the outside support of the roadbed at that point. It was at this point that Jack O'Leary was killed by a falling derrick several days since.

The cables are strung in the required places, and the scraper will soon be given another trial.

Tomorrow will lie the first day of the new year���1899���a year that is undoubtedly destined to lie fraught with momentous events in the history of Cascade. The last few months have seen Cascade grow from a mere stopping place on the stage line to a town on which at the present time are centered the eyes of the majority of the people of southern British Columbia, to say nothing of thousands of others in all parts of the Dominion and of the States. Cascade has elements of permanency possessed hy no other points in this entire district. TheBe elements, in the natural onward march of events, cannot fail to work out the destiny of the place. They can no more he changed than can the constellations in ihe firmament above. It is plainly a case of predestination and foreordina- tion. Some of these things may not come to pass as soon as over- enthusiastic friends may wish, but they will come none the less surely. Rome was not built in a day, nor will the future Cascade be. It takes time, capital and energy united to work out such a destiny. It is a noteworthy fact that the people of this city are pulling together and working in harmony for the common good. It is more ���it is significant. This will undoubtedly continue in the future, and it will redound in untold benefit to our citizens. Plans are now formulating more extensive than the most progressive could guess at, for Cascade's future. The year 1899 will see some of these worked out and others begun. The business man who has capital, push and perseverance makes no mistake in Cascade, and there is no room for others. As the years roll by, the predictions of the Record will be found to have been verified. success in the by-election in Al- bemi would seem to give color to their claim. But there are several other factors to he reckoned with. One of these is the pronounced and ill-concealed dissatisfaction by certain of members-elect over the distribution of the h-aves and fishes. It is possible that a peace may be patched up at the last moment, but those in a position to know assert that it cannot be done under the existing order of things. In any event, the opening days of the s ssion will be watched with unusual interest. It is to he hoped that the best interests of the province will not be forgotten in the rush for political preference, and the endeavor to grind political axes. NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT. This locality was shamefully neglected by the late government. Of this there can be no two opinions. Nothing, comparatively, was done for roads and trails, nothing for bridges, schools, administration of justice, etc. But crying over spilt milk will not help the matter. The government has taken hold, pledged to do certain things for us. We have the promise of our member, James M. Martin, that Cascade's pressing needs shall be attended to The Record believes that Mr. Martin is and was sincere in this matter, and that he will do his utmost in our behalf. But the citizens of southern Yale will keep a close eye on the proceedings. They have suffered and been neglected to a degree in the past. If too much economy is practiced, to our detriment, a no uncertain sound will be heard even at Victoria. Certain things Cascade must have, and will have if the equities of our demands are given any consideration at all. The Record wishes its Biihserib- ers and patrons, one and all, a Happy New Year. May the coming year be even more prosperous with them than the one now fast ebbing out. After January 1st the Record, with all other papers in the province, will have to pay postage on its papers. Unlike some journals, however, there will he no increase in the subscription price of the Record. A two-dollar bill still brings the paper to you for 52 weeks. The year 1899, unless all signs fail, will see beside the Cascades of Kettle river, one of the most flourishing towns in the entire Boundary district. Juet take note of this prophecy. Two Cents Enough Now. The countries which, in addition io Canada, have given their adhes- ton to the scheme for reduced inter Imperial postage up to the present date, and to which, consequently, letters may be sent from Canada prepaid at the rate of 2c per half- ounce, are: Aden, The Bahamas, British Central Africa, British East Africa, British India, Ceylon, Cyprus, Falkland Islands, Fiji, Gambia, Gibraltar, Gold Coast, Hi.ng Kong, Lagos, Leeward Islands.

It is believed that the struggle for supremacy by the different factions will begin without delay after organization is per'ected. That this struggle will be settled at once is not probable, but at the first opportunity, a test vote on want of confidence will be forced. The members of the present government assert confidently that they will have a good working majority. Their recent reported Nelson is to have another daily paper. On or about the middle of January the Tribune will step out boldly and bid for public favor as an afternoon daily. Mayor Houston is at the helm of the enterprise, and no one doubts his ability. But Nelson cannot support two dailies anymore than Cascade could support two weeklies. It will, as usual, be a survival of the fittest. There will doubtless be warm times in the journalistic field in Nelson in the near future. D. D. FERGUSON, Contractor id Butter. Doors, Sash and all Kinds of Glass. CASCADE CITY. BRITISH COLUMBIA It is reported from some source near the fountain head, that the present government's policy in regard to railway extension will be a progressive one. As yet, however, nothing definite has been given out to this effect. If the Semlin government pursues a liberal plan in this regard it will be another great factor in the quick development of the magnificent resources of the province. It will also make many more friends for the present administration. Commercial Hotel O. G. FREDERICKS, Prop. The Largest and Most Popular Hotel in the city. Choice Wines, Liquors and Cigars.

The experinces of a merchant in these parts in getting in merchandise from the outside world, especially where there is need of haste, would furnish unlimited first-class material for more than one Baron Munchausen fairy tale. In fact it is difficult for a person, in these latter days of progress andenlight- ment to conceive of the thickhesd- ednesB, not to say shortsightedness, of some shippers as well as railway officials, in this connection. For instance, if goods from Vancouver destined for Cascade, are marked in large black letters, "Via Marcus," can any one imagine why a freight clerk should send them by way of Penticton? This is exactly what has happened more than once, and the authority for the statement, is W. J. Francis, of this city, who recently returned from Penticton in an effort to get Christmas goods here in time to he of service for the holiday trade. Incidentally it may be mentioned that he was successful, although it cost just 8 cents a pound to make the experiment, not including his own time spent on the 250 mile trip. Mr Francis states that he was afforded every courtesy by Agent Smith, of the C. P. R. at Penticton, hut learned a few things at the same time. Among them was the significant fact that quantities of goods destined for this locality, and shipped to Penticton by some thoughtless or ignorant wholesaler, had been refused and returned to the shippers. Among them was more than one consignment directly marked or routed by way of Marcus or Bosshurg. No excuse can be found for this method of doing business. On page eleven of this issue of the Record will he found a copy of a circular letter issued to C. P. R. employees by Manager Whyte, in which he Says : " An employee of a railway company should never allow the idea that people cannot travel or ship their freight by any other railway, to have the least weight in his mind in dealing with the patrons of the road." It would seem that the freight agent at Vancouver, or his clerks, have not profited by Mr. Whyte's well-timed injunction in the past, but, to get all the haul possible, in a mistaken endeavor to serve the best interests of the company, have sent shipments to Penticton, when it was morally certain they would be refused and returned. This was done, of course, with the idea of taking away business from a foreign line. They succeeded in this and the C. P. R. got the haul both ways; but the consignees were made bitterly inimical to the C. P. R. thereby and the consignors were but little better pleased. Mr. Whyte will render this section a service if he will send special instructions to the Vancouver freight office with a list of points in the Boundary country to which goods should not be shipped via Penticton, but on the contrary, by Seattle, Spokane and Bossburg. Otherwise, he will make many bitter enemies for his company. It would seem that nearly every business man or resident of this district had seen or heard enough of the difficulties of keeping open the telephonic communication with the outside world, not to deliberately cut it off for a time by sheer and thoughtless carelessness. But there is���or was���one such man in Cascade. While the editor was grinding last Wednesday afternoon he glanced out of the office window just in time to see a large pine tree deliberately felled over the tele- Sihone wires. It could have been elled in several other directions, but of course they were not thought of and the damage was quickly done; but as Lineman McDonald hastened down from the Forks early next morning, the break was repaired with hut little inconvenience to the public. This little tale is related as an example of how not to do it. Speaking of cutting down trees brings to mind the actions of gangs of Italians on the railway construction, when building a camp. In felling a tree they will all gather around it and give advice to the one wielding the axe, and not one will think of which way the tree is to fall, or of a place of safety, till it begins to totter. Then, however, each one starts in a different direction, yelling as only sons of Sunny Italy can shout, and some always run in the direction of the falling monarch of the forest. Eye witnesses assert that the sight is worth going a longdistance to witness. Fortunately, they usually succeed in getting out of harm's way, but in so doing always add to the prevailing pandemonium.

While there he also arranged for the purchase of another free milling gold property for $20,000, The Italian, Bernardo Verazro, who was recently hrought in from Niagara to Brooklyn and thence to Nelson, committed for trial on the charge of stabbing a man named Keough, has elected for a speedy trial. He will therefore be tried before Judge Forin at Nelson on January 4. ��� ��� . ��� T. F. Gaine, of Gaine & Roy, left for Fernie, East Kootenay, on Thursday's Mage, to be gone for a week. Mr. Gaine bas leased the White building, two doors, east of the post office, which is now being titled up for his dry and wet goods. He will use his large building on upper Main street as a warehouse. An Old Time New Year The method in vogue in New York City half a century ago was for the ladies of the family to remain at home, much as they do now, while the gentlemen went abroad visiting friends. The visitor entered, shook hands, took a seat, conversed for a few moments, and after partaking of refreshments��� which with turkey and pickled oysters were the staple dishes and sherry and whiskey the most popular drinks���had another handshaking and terminated the visit. The custom is of Dutch origin. Government to Control Rates There are several signs which indicate that the federal government will shortly have to undertake the regulation of transportation rates over the Canadian railways. The conviction is forcing itself upon the people of the Dominion that the railway companies charge for transportation just what the commodities will stand. When, by any chance, a change is made in the tariff, whereby the duty is lessened, the advantage, instead of going to the consumer, is absorbed by the railway company through an increased freight tariff. Recently a reduction of one cent a gallon was made in the duty upon coal oil. It was contended that the difference between the new and old tariffs would he secured by the consumer, but it did not work out that way, for the reason that the railway tariff was advanced one cent per gallon, and the amount represented by the reduced duty was diverted from the government's coffers to those of the railway company. Incidents like these will ensure government tariffs before long. ���Nelson Tribune. It took just 40,000 pounds of poultry to supply the hungry mortals in West Kootenay with their Christmas dinnere.

If the Prince of Wales and Prince George shall both decide to visit Canada next year, the outburst of loyalty will be something worth re- memb ring. Such a visit would do a great deal of good, especially as it would be followed by a visit to United States, where the reception would be scarcely less enthusiastic than in Canada. It is said that the only obstacle to the visit is the health of the Queen.���Victoria Colonist. A true bill was brought in at the Toronto assizes against T. Eaton Co. for selling silverware under false trade prescription. The firm advertises silverware as quadruple plate, and sold a set of four pieces for $6, "worth $12," to a Toronto citizen, who submitted them to an expert ted and foui.d the value of the four pieces to be less than 8 cents. It was ihe cheapest kind of soft metal which would melt if placed on a hot stove.��� Revelstoke Herald. Richmond Pearson Hobson, the young American naval lieutenant who excited the admiration of the world by -his daring act in connection with the sinking of the Merrimac in the neck of Santiago harbor, is still travelling around the country kissing women. He ��� lobbered over 163 of them in Chicago last night. If the American people have any sense of good taste left the time for an exercise of it has surely arrived.���Province. Buffalo, N. Y., Express suggests that Great Britain should exchange .Manitoba the Northwest Territories and British Columbia with the United States for the Philippine Islands, and says: "Great Britain would probably welcome juch a trade." If the man who wrote that had the faintest notion of the value of British Columbia, not to mention Manitoba, and the Northwest Territories, he would never have been visited by the foregoing nightmare. ���Victoria Times. And it came to pass that after he had advertised his goods, there came unto him great multitudes from all the regions roui.d about and did buy of him. And when his competitors saw it they marveled among themselves, saying : " How be it that this man is busy, while we loaf about our doors V" And he spake unto them, saying : " Verily, verily, I say unto you, in this fast age of push and rustle, it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of a needle than for a business man to flourish without advertising."���Ex. H. R. Parke and Jas. Schubert, road superintendents respectively for the north and south portions of this riding, received word last week that their services would be no longer required. In view of the fact that much necessary work still remains incomplete, especially in the southern country, it is sincerely to be hoped that this may only prove a temporary suspension from duty. In these days when the axe is falling with such monotomous regularity, it seems out of the question to expect that even the most competent and inoffensive officials will escape; but we trust the hope; is not unfounded that these will be reinstated at an early date.���Vernon News. We are all in the dark yet as to the probable outcome of the conference between the Canadian and American commissioners. They have adjourned over the holidays, under agreement to meet again early next month. That the sessions are to be continued means that a treaty of some sort is regarded as within the possibilities. Indeed, the usually careful Associated Press correspondent at Washington says there will be a treaty, but it is not sure yet whether it will include a reciprocity clause. The difficulty in respect to the latter is the item of lumber, although there is a strong indisposition to let in Canadian agricultural products on anything like even terms. The old differences, however, those that have been keeping both countries in hot water for years past, are, it seems to be, composed. The Miner is still at a loss to imagine how this is to be done, excepting at a. great sacrifice to Canada, if there are to be no trade concessions.���NelBon Miner.

Rum loops is to have a mining school and Ros. land still hankers after a school of mines. Fred Mountain, formerly chief of the Kootenay polite, at Nelson, has gone to Honolulu for the winter. A miners association has been organized at Slocan City, and also one at Windermere, in East Kootenay. The new C. P. R. tug now building at Nelson is to be called the Ymir, and that at Rosebery the Sandon. Nelson's recently opened Anglican church; built of stone, is said to be the handsomest and most substantial church edifice in the Kootenays. The Merchants Bank of Halifax has sent officials to establish branches of that progressive institution at Lake Bennett and Lake Atlin. Dominion Enginner J. E. Roy has begun the work of improving the Kootenay river between Ft. Steel and Wardner. The $5,000 available will just about get the work nicely under way. Rumor has it that the contract has been let for the construction of 35 miles of the Duncan & Lardeau railway, to be completed by September 1, 1899.

D.���to those who have studied the matter that the nearest and best route for the extension of the Crow's Nest Railway from Kootenay lake is via Wild Horse creek to Ymir. The C. P. R. will open up a district rich in minerals, which will amply repay them in the long run for the outlay. The route has been pronounced by competent engineers to be the most feasiable one, and 1899 will see it an accomplished fact.��� Ymir Miner. Prosperous nining Concern The company now developing the water power of the Kettle River at Cascade City, is an extensive and prosperous concern, as can be seen by the following: The report of the Dominion Mining, Devolopment & Agency Co., a British corporation, has just been is.-u.ed. and show, that since the company's operation to June 30th there has been a profit of $137,000 earned. In July last the company declared a dividend of 50 per cent, in fully paid shares in the Queen Bess Proprietary Company. As the capital of the company is but ��53,276, the showing is very satisfactory. The affairs of the Dominjon'Mi n- ing, Development & Agency Co. are managed by C. K. Milbourne, of Nelson. The chief venture of the company was the acquiring of the Queen Bess group of claims in the Slocan, which was afterwards successfully floated and started with a working capital of ��15,000, and the direc tors expect to be in receipt of dividends by the first quarter of the New Year. The Pyramid Copper Syndicate is the name of another ventur floated by the company for the purpose cf developing several claims in East Kootenay. L GLADSTONE, B. C."

HOTEL GLADSTONE H The selection of the medium is the first and most important point. The writing comes after. Even a bad ad in a good paper will bring some business. A good ad in a poor paper is sheer waste. B. C. Dividend Payers The Le Roi leads the list of dividend paying mines in British Columbia with $825,000. It is probably true that the Payne mine in the Slocan has paid more dividends than the Le Roi, but it is owned by a close corporation and no statement of profits is ever given to the public. The Slocan Star is credited with the largest payments of any Slocan property, having paid $400- 000 up to March, 1897, which is given as the date of the last. The Reco, at Sandon, is listed as having paid $297,500, the last payment being $100,000 in January, 1898. The Whitewater mine is credited with payments of $194,000 up to April, 1898, when the last payment was made. The Idaho, another Slocan property, has paid $264,000 up to May, 1898. The Cariboo, the mine which made several Spokane men wealthy, is credited with $236,965. The Last Chance and Rambler-Cariboo, two Slocan properties, have paid $40,- apiece. The Hall Mines, Ltd., of Nelson, an English corporation, has paid $160,000.

New Year's resolutions are now in order. Republic now has a severe attack of county seat fever. Once again Postmaster Cameron has money order applications in stock, after an extended famine. IT. J. Gorman of the Cove Hotel, McHne Landing, says that his house has all the business he can handle. Quite a nunilier of sleighing parties were out on Christmas day. One party of 14 had an upset in the snow over near the lake. Assistant Paymaster Arthur W. Smith, for the railway contractors, spent a few minutes in the city Monday, on his way to Niagara. The Bossliurg Journal announces a souvenir edition for the first of the year. If it is like the regular issues it will lie a credit to the publisher and the town. ThiB last week the provincial nonstahles have been inspecting the hotels in the various towns, preparatory to issuing licences, all of which date from the first of January. The paystreak of fine job printing is gradually widening at the Record office. This week, among others, work was turned out for Niagara and McRae Landing concerns. Provincial Constable Jarvis, formerly clerk to Chief Mountain at Nelson, has been stationed at Gladstone. Mr. Humphrey, who was there temporarily, has been relieved. The steamer Myrtle B, which has been doing a good business on Christina lake all the fall, has been hauled up for the winter at La- vully's. Travelers down the lake must now come by the tote road. G. A. Eastman, of Eastman & O'Brien, came over from Brooklyn and spent Christmas in Cascade. He says that most of the Brooklyn business men are still doing a good trade, reports to the contrary notwithstanding. Monday evening's Christmas dance, at the Railroaders Headquarters hotel, was a decided success. The music���piano and violin ���was the best thus far had in Gas- cade. The dancers kept it up till an early hour Tuesday morning. Ai the Sunday . vening meeting of the congregation D. I). Ferguson, Miss Kate Cameron and Rev Jos. McCoy were appointed a special committee to accept subscriptions and donations for the new Presby. lerian church, to be built soon in Cascade. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Rochussen entertained the B. ('. Syndicate store employes and other friends at an elaborate Chri.-tmas dinner last Sunday, at their cozy home. Covers were laid for 14. It whs a jolly company that enjoyed the good cheer and hospitality of the season. The Boundary Creek Times, of Greenwood, with its usual'enterprise, issued a splendid holiday edition. It consisted of 40 pages of well written matter, and contained a number of half-tone illustrations. The articles are gotten up in good shape and ihe publication will doubtless be of consider-1 able benefit to the entire district. I POLITENESS ON THE C. P. R. A Circular on the Subject Issued by Manager Whyte. The following official circular has been issued by Manager Whyte, to the employees of the Canadian Pacific railway on the lines west of Port William: "Many years ago this company established a reputation for the civility and politeness of employees of all classes towards the travelling and shipping public, which was a very valuable)factor in developing the business ��f the road, and has been most favorably commented upon by all classes. A number of cases which have been brought to my attention of late indicate that there is danger of this enviable reputation being lost by the indifference, and sometimes incivility, of some employees. One of the most frequent complaints is the difficulty in obtaining information with regard to delayed trains. This, of course, chiefly applies ton gents and operators, but the fact that complaint is made on this score does not establish that the agent or operator is always to blame. Sometimes it is the indifference of a train dispatcher in replying to the inquiry of an operator. '" A long lecture on thi�� subject ought not to be necessary. Business courtesy is a most valuable equipment for any man who has dealings with the public; in fact, it is an absolute essential An employee of a railway company should nevvr allow the idea that people cannot travel or ship their freight by any other railway, to have the least weight in his mind in dealing with the patrons of the road. A very large proportion of this company's business depends entirely on the good will of the people, and all concerned, officers, as well as employees, must co-operate to establish and maintain that reputation for Parisian politeness which was of so much value to the C. P. R. in the first years of its existence, and must understand that incivilty is an unpardonable offence and when ever detected will be followed by summary punishment."

Patrick Clark, of Spokane, enjoys the unique distinction of being the first to make a dividend payer of any of the now famous Coeur- il'Alene mines, the Poorman; the first to make a dividend payer of a British Columbia mine, the War Eagle, and the first to make a dividend payer of a Washington mine, the Republic. Sale of the Big Copper Austin Hammer, one of the owners of the Big Copper mine in Copper camp, is authority for the statement that a deal is in progress whereby an eastern syndicate will become the owners of this famous property. The Big Copper is one of the best known mines in this lower portion of British Columbia, it being well developed and now on a shipping basis. The purchase price of this property has not been learned, but it is generally thought to be a high figure. Hot and Cold Baths can be had at any time, 50 cents. GEO. W. THOMAS, . . PROPRIETOR. . .
